They say if there are no photos it never happened. Well it did and to my amazement (those who know my mechanical skills will really be amazed) I managed to take the back wheel off Ali's bike AND put it back on!!
A reminder for the future, have a contingency if tail end charlie gets a flat tyre!
Luckily Jose had a compressor, I had a tyre levers and a tube and Pilar had wet wipes to clean our hands!
(Not that I carried anything to pump my tube up with....)

late to the party
long time since I attempted to post photos - I appreciate other folk's photos and narratives - so here goes
Friday we travelled to Young1's in the 'Naki from Wellington the long way via Taumarunui, the Forgotten World Highway, Mt Damper Falls and Kiwi Road - if I've mastered the linking correctly this shot shows a jubilant Padmei exiting the tunnel at the summit of Kiwi Road

I agree that keeping maps (and the versions of the maps) consistent makes things easier - but even then, roads like the Motu can still be a challenge to get them routing correctly. For the midwinter ride I use the open GPS project maps on the computer and on the GPS, and specify which version I used, so people can make sure they are using exactly the same map set.

The best laid plans of mice and men Fortunatly I fall into both catagories
Phil rang me one night with a plan, lets ride Cape Egmont to East Cape on Labour weekend was the start of the idea
A quick wizz bang on BaseCamp got us a start distance 664 Kms being the quickest route. A big days ride Plus getting to and from the start and finish points at the end of the day.
Lets make it a two day Adventure ride and use Monday to come home
If its going to be an adventure ride lets make it an Adventure we decided so the serious planning began until eventually we came up final with the route for the Cape to Cape Ride 951.2 kms of some of the most windy tarseal and gravel roads we could find.
We had decided right from the start to throw this ride open to all comers and made every effort to inform people of the nature of the ride. We wanted the ride to be "Big Bike friendly" and I believe we achieved this.
In the past when Phil and I have co-ordinated group rides we have found that with running the Corner Man system of navigation once you go more than 350 to 400 kms in a day with a large group you loose too much time and it makes for a long day. With this in mind we decided to make this an everyman for himself ride and to just provide a GPS file.
For reasons we have yet to fathom some riders had problems with these. Some worked fine, others led people astray. Modern technology, sheesh
At Inglewood it was fairly apparent that if Phil and myself rode off into the sunset a large part of the group were not going to get to where they were going At that point as we felt some responsibilty for the riders turning up for this event we decided to run with the corner man system from that point on.
Unfortunatly this option also removed the option for riders to opt out of the "Route proper" and take shortcuts to the final destination.
Knowing this was going to make for a long day but still trying to keep the ride enjoyable we did try to keep the ride moving as smoothly and quickly as possible, however as anyone who has ridden this system can attest, a short stop for one rider stops the entire group, helmets come off, cameras come out and half an hour dissappears from the day but enters your ride time.
I apologise if any riders felt pressured to push themselves harder than they would have liked, at no time did we want to push people into states of exhaustion and danger (or even coffee depravation).
At no stage were any riders told they were holding the group up. Both Phil and I did try and keep things moving at a reasonable pace to ensure we didnt arrive at our destination in darkness.
I for one (despite my bikes mechanical hic-cup) throughly enjoyed myself. Even with the pressure of trying to keep the ducks in a row and moving forward, the GPS problems, those damn distances between cofffees, I feel a sense of achievement with what Phil and I did. Not just with the organisation but to actually complete the ride I have every intention of repeating that ride again one day. I enjoyed the company, support and friendship of every rider who joined in the event and look forward to riding with you all again.
To assist with planning future rides some feedback on the GPS issues would be appreciated in particular

I was stuffed from the start. I bought a new hiking GPS for the trip, loaded heaps of pre & post run tracks into it, & discovered at Cape Egmont I'd managed to delete the gpx file for the actual Cape to Cape run. So I'm no help at all on why these things didn't work - from my perspective it was all self inflicted.
I had a Garmin Etrex 20 hiking GPS. I think that would have worked well, but both Aslan & I were just too new to it to have it working optimally. I can't read detail on the screen when I'm riding, but it still shows arrows for direction of the ride. The major issue with the Etrex is small screen size, backlighting, & screen visibility. Backlighting can be boosted at the expense of battery life. Aslan hadn't figured out increasing map resolution, so was viewing things in a very coarse view. I've learned a heap about the Etrex, but still find it a bit frustrating.
Prior to the ride I had studied the route on Google Maps, so had a basic understanding of the route. But that didn't help when I found I didn't have the gpx file.
As a consequence I was very appreciative of the cornerman system. Yes, there were times that I wanted to stop & take photos. I could have done so more if I'd been better organised with the camera, by holding this on a lanyard. But it was buried in the top of my camelbak. Yes, in the East Coast forestry section there was one occasion where Phil pushed me onwards when I was really needing to stop. But I got my second wind, & he allowed me to follow the group, rather than just pushing from behind. People could have abandoned the route at any time - they just needed to let the tail end charlie know that was their intent.
Possibly it might not have worked as well for a much larger group. I think that with the group size we had, that the cycling of people through corners, front to back, made the ride more 'social'.
I can now totally see why some US riders are working with 2 GPS's - one for the detail of the route, the other for a wider view, so you know where you are location-wise.
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, & am really appreciative that you organised the route, & threw it out there for all-comers.
BTW, I totally made the right choice with the new MT21 front I threw on pre ride. Front end grip was great.

Hey Phil you guys did an amazing job organising this & I appreciate all the effort.
It is a learning curve with the old GPS & I think (apart from being fricking hopelessly directionally retarded) one problem I had was that there were several maps not just one route. Is that because they were too long to fit as one route or that's the way the software does it? actually I remember there was a bridge that split the road or something so you had to split the route. I also wasn't sure which map I was sposed to be on.i think having a paper map would have helped me to get a handle on which part of the country I was in.
Actually nah I could have had a seeing eye dog dragging me round on a lead & i still would have got lost - i'm the reason tour buses were invented- mind you I have been known to catch the wrong bus...

Hey Padders, There was a couple of reasons for the split routes. Yes the road under the bridge at Ora......... was one. We thought Pureora Forest may cause a problem so that was another ( we actually went over and made route sheets for it)
And then from Pureora to the night stop over was another.
A problem of making it all one is it creates to many way points for most GPS's to handle and they start to do weird shit. Like my Zumo 550 can have about 200. The zumo 660 can only have about 150 so it will do the first part of the route, and when it gets to 150 you just get a straight purple line to the finish.
I think Alistairs new Zumo 350 split the 2nd day into 2 parts.
I think the Garmin Montana can handle several thousand way points.
I have since thought a marked map is a must and maybe name the sections 1, 2 etc so it is more user friendly.

Even better, something with a huge screen like 6" so you can see a bigger overall picture. The problem I find is when you soom out so see a bigger overall picture, a lot of the detail and minor roads dissapear which is a PIA.
I thought this was pretty cool. Ipad Mini using the OZ Explorer maps. Aparently works well.

We stayed here for a week in July. The view from the room was breathtaking, and the room was reasonably sized. The owners, Paris and Magda were very friendly, and helpful.

Vacation Rental Summary
Hands down one of the best vacations my husband and I have ever taken! The check in with CIVR was effortless, the condo was beautiful and well appointed and the location was perfect. We sat out on the balcony to eat dinner each night and there was often a deer or two on the lawn across the street. Having a golf cart at our disposal was wonderful, just the little drive back and forth to town was enjoyable. One caution though, the interior has beautiful tile floors but we had a couple of close calls that almost resulted in falls so watch your step!
My family and I had an amazing and relaxing week in this villa. The only down fall was that I accidently fell down the stairs and hit my face. It hurt so much because its a Mexican tile flooring, beautiful but very dangerous to hit your head. I would definitely book this beautiful villa again and be extra careful going down the stairs.
We enjoyed our stay! Great views from both balconies. Loved being right there at the beach area but it was a little noisy from all the carts coming and going. Guest parking for the beach area was right outside. We ate in a lot and the kitchen had most everything we needed. To make it better would be a list of things available with the condo and where they are. We didn't find the laundry room till the end of our trip and in the laundry room was some beach stuff we would have used. All in all a great place!
I would highly recommend staying in Hamilton Cove. The Civr team was extremely professional and much easier to deal with than the competition. We loved this villa. I actually proposed to my fiancé here, on the lawn directly across from the villa overlooking the ocean. I think the most amazing part was waking up to the view from the bedroom. The location is gorgeous. The villa was clean and comfortable. The appliances (like the TV and entertainment stuff) was extremely outdated - which is exactly how we'd like it. We spent time cooking and travelling the island. Some recommendations: Get groceries at Vons and cook. Nothing more romantic than making dinner at home here. Vons is extremely reasonable - not at all over priced. Get a moonlight massage at Descanso Beach. The massage company there will pick you up and drop you off at Hamilton Cove if you ask nicely. We will definitely return and we will definitely try to stay at the same villa.
very nice, quiet, private condo ... good for us because not too many steps, since I recently had foot surgery, and still in recovery. Very large condo, that could easily be shared, since one bedroom downstairs with private bathroom. A really fun drive into town for shopping, dining, etc. using the golf cart included.
First off, Catalina Island Vacation Rentals is awesome! This is the second time we rented one of their Hamilton Cove units; last time was in January. When I called beginning of May, they remembered my name and who I was! Such customer service!!! The second rental took less then 2 minutes since they had all my information and then they asked me to download their mobile app, which is wonderful! It had all the rental information ready at my fingertips. And, because we rented with them, we got a nice discount on our helicopter ride to and from the island. We got to Catalina mid morning, and because the unit was ready, they let us get into it immediately. The unit is nice, the view is breathtaking (a balcony on both levels), but the furniture is a little dated and the tv's are old. The one in the living room is actually hard to watch. But, we didn't come to watch TV, so we didn't mind that. The location is beautiful, and if your windows are open at night, you can hear the waves. It does not have air conditioning. Since the temperature was in the 70s, it was okay, but it would concern me in a hot summer. There are two flights of stairs to get to the front door, but the downstairs bedroom has it's own entrance, which only has one flight of stairs to get to the street. All in all, we had an amazing stay, and I would recommend Catalina Island Vacation Rentals and their units highly. We'll be back!!!

It's a bad image, all around, said Martin Monsivais.
It's a huge eye sore, said Mary Fendley.
I hope they clean it up soon. It can't be good for their business. I mean, it doesn't look good, said Rob Fox.
Monsivais works near it. Fendley and Fox live near it.
They're talking about a pile of trash in a parking lot near 198th and Tualatin Valley Highway in Aloha.
It's a pile of wood, mattresses, old furniture and trash bags almost half the length of a football field.
When KGW got a complaint about the trash building up outside the America's Best Inns and Suites, we went to check it out.
When Unit 8 arrived, we found out the trash is getting on a lot of people's nerves.
People, like Martin Monsivais.
His office building shares the parking lot.
I'm tired of seeing that stuff. That started with a little pile but now as you can see it is taking over, he said.
It is a remodel project at the hotel but Monsivais said the pile is so large, you can see it from across the street. The parking lot is also shared with a Walgreens pharmacy.
As customers drive through the pharmacy window, the mound of trash is just feet from them.
I come to this Walgreens a lot and it's been here quite some time. It doesn't seem to be getting smaller. It seems to be getting bigger, said Rob Fox.
It's a bad image to everybody around here, added Monsivais.
Unit 8 went into the hotel, looking for answers.
The owner said off-camera that he hopes to have it all cleaned up next week.
He said other people have also been dumping their trash and pointed out that not all the trash is theirs.
Later, the hotel manager called KGW.
We want everyone to know that this is a temporary renovation. We're doing it so that as a whole it'll be a better business and we'll have better lodging for our guests, said Sara Kay, manager of America's Best Inns and Suites on TV Highway.
Kay said on Friday she will be calling to inquire about renting a container for the trash.
The trash has not been there that long, she added It's been there less than a month, she said.
That is not what KGW heard.
About a month, said Fendley.
Yeah, I would say a month or more. It's been a really long time, said Monsivais.
KGW called Washington County code enforcement and was told there have been no formal complaints about the trash.
County officials said because of our phone call, it will be sending a code enforcement officer to the site on Friday.
The code officer will make sure there's no health hazard and that all rules are being followed.

Press release from CNW Group
Guyana Goldfields Significantly Increases Mineral Resources and Grade at the Aurora Gold Project, Guyana
Monday, February 28, 2011
Guyana Goldfields Significantly Increases Mineral Resources and Grade at the Aurora Gold Project, Guyana06:00 EST Monday, February 28, 2011TORONTO, Feb. 28 /CNW/ - Guyana Goldfields Inc. (TSX: GUY) ("Guyana" or "the Company") is pleased to report an updated mineral resource statement for its 100% owned Aurora Gold Project in Guyana, South America. This new estimate includes all drilling data obtained up to the end of November 2010. The estimate was prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada), Inc. ("SRK") of Toronto, Ontario in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") and provides an update to the previous estimate released on August 24, 2009. The next estimate is scheduled to be released in August 2011 and will incorporate drilling up to June. The Feasibility Study is scheduled for completion during the fourth quarter and will be based upon the August 2011 resource estimate.Highlights80% of all mineral resources are in the measured and indicated category (5.34 million ounces) and 20% are in the inferred category (1.33 million ounces)66% increase in measured and indicated mineral resources from 3.21 to 5.34 million ounces64% increase in open pit measured and indicated mineral resources from 1.19 to 1.95 million ounces67% increase in underground measured and indicated mineral resources from 2.03 to 3.39 million ounces17% increase in open pit grade from 3.0 to 3.6 g/t Au3 % increase in total overall grade from 3.8 to 4.0 g/t Au"This significant increase in mineral resources and the likelihood of more ounces being added with the additional drilling planned for this year support our organic growth strategy and should significantly enhance the economics of the Definitive Feasibility Study, which is currently underway. The positive impact of the 2009/2010 drilling campaigns which discovered and extended various zones at depth within the Golden Square Mile is finally reflected in the new resource numbers. We remain very confident that this already robust project will continue to grow and soon join the ranks of world-class producing gold mines." said Mr. Claude Lemasson, President & Chief Operating Officer.Mineral Resource Drilling DataThe updated mineral resource statement incorporates drilling data consisting of:Drilling for the Preliminary Assessment completed in August 2009 totaling 140,442 metres with drilling data up to June 2, 2009Infill and exploration drilling completed from June 3, 2009 to November 21, 2010 totaling an additional 79,446 metres, during which new mineralized zones were discovered beneath the Aleck Hill and Mad Kiss shallow zones (see press releases dated April 20, 2010 and August 18, 2010)The new mineral resource statement contains a total of 209,000 metres of drilling in 776 holes.Resource Estimate ComparisonFebruary 2011 August 2009Gold Price(US$)$1,040/ozTonnes(000 t)Grade(g/t)Gold(000 oz)% ChangeGold Price(US$)$750/ozTonnes(000 t)Grade(g/t)Gold(000 oz)O/P O/PM&I17,2773.511,94764.3%M&I 11,1363.311,185Inf3,5333.744258.0%Inf5,0132.44393 U/G U/GM&I24,8944.243,39467.5%M&I13,0104.852,027Inf6,8984.10910-6.5%Inf7,9313.82973 O/P & U/G O/P & U/GM&I42,1713.945,34166.3%M&I24,1464.143,212Inf10,4323.981,334-2.3%Inf12,9443.281,366 TOTAL 52,6033.956,67545.8%TOTAL 37,0903.844,578*Cutoff grade: 0.45 g/t Au for O/P and 2.0 g/t Au for U/G. *Cutoff grade: 0.85 g/t Au for O/P and 2.0 g/t Au for U/G.Note: The following references are made: Open pit = O/P; Underground = U/G, Measured and Indicated = M&I; Inferred = InfMineral InventoryThe new resource estimate is based on a mineral inventory.

They are presented only to show the sensitivity of the global quantity and grade estimates to the selection of cut-off grades.A total 2011 budget of $20 million is being allocated for drilling at Aurora. Ten (10) drill rigs are operational with the goal of drilling 70,000 metres by the end of June. This drilling aims to further convert inferred to measured & indicated resources during the first half of the year. Exploration drilling will continue for the remainder of the year and is designed to significantly increase the discovery potential of local and regional mineralized trends and recently identified zones.Currently there are over 20 geologists working at both Aurora and the Company's Aranka properties. The Company continues its assessment of the possibility of including Sulphur Rose and its initial resource of 460,400 ounces (see press release dated December 31, 2010) into the Aurora Feasibility Study due to its proximity and similar metallurgical character. Two (2) drills are operating at Sulphur Rose dedicated to carry out exploration and infill drilling in order to confirm additional resources."We are very pleased by the drilling success and the increase in mineral resources. We are also continuing infrastructure construction activities at site and will be in a position to start the mine development process in the fourth quarter of this year after the completion of the Feasibility Study.

Q. How do I get the version number of the software?
There is a public static variable PdfDecoder.version or PdfDecoderServer.version which you can access.
Q. How do I get the size of a PDF page?
There is a small sample program showing how to read the CropBox values for all the page in a PDF file and how to convert into various units. Print out all page sizes
Q. How do I count the number of pages in PDF file?
You need to count the number of entries in the page References object (which is a Tree data structure). Get the page Count
The same code will work on XFA files if you have the XFA version of JPedal.
Q. How do I access the metadata and fields in a PDF file?
A PDF file contains metadata and information fields with optional information details including the file author and PDF creation tools used. Show Document properties
Q. How can I extract the links in a PDF file?
A PDF file usually includes links as Form objects which can be parsed and extracted. Show links in PDF file
Q. How can I extract the outline in a PDF file?
A PDF file can contain an optional outline which can be parsed and extracted. Show outline tree in PDF file
Q. Can I use the software online?
We have put some applications on the website to provide extraction and viewing online. Online PDF tools.
Q. How do I convert PDF to grayscale or black and white?
PDF files are usually displayed and printed in ARGB to provide the highest quality output. Sometimes, you may wish to change this functionality (for example to only print in grayscale or black and white). This tutorial explains how to use hooks in JPedal to achieve this.
JPedal contains an interface org.jpedal.external.JPedalHelper and a static instance of this in PdfDecoder called Helper. Usually Helper is null, but if a static instance of it is created, it will be called at various points. These include controlling the setting of colour and rendering of images, so the ARGB data can be changed.
The interface includes 2 methods which can be used to control the color of the output
- processImage(BufferedImage image, int pageNumber, boolean isPrinting) This allows you to alter any images
- setPaint(Graphics2D g2, PdfPaint textFillCol, int pageNumber, boolean isPrinting) This is called before text and shapes are drawn
To activate this functionality, you just have to setup a static instance to PdfDecoder.Helper before you use JPedal. The instance should implement the interface org.jpedal.external.JPedalHelper. There is an example built in to convert all printed output to black and white. To use this you would just add this line to your code before using JPedal.
PdfDecoder.Helper=new org.jpedal. examples.ExampleHelper();
See the Code in ExampleHelper
View PDF files
Q. Are there some simple examples to view a PDF file?
org/jpedal/examples/baseviewer/BaseViewer.java and org/jpedal/examples/baseviewer/BaseViewerFX.java are very simple java PDF viewers with minimal functionality.
We would recommend you look our fully featured Swing PDF viewer or JavaFX PDF viewer. They are totally configurable and include lots of functionality (Search/Print/multiple views/etc). You can easily switch between them as they share the same API.
Q. How can I add a Java PDF viewer into my code in 2 lines of code?
Try this Java code (with the JPedal jar on your classpath).
Viewer viewer = new Viewer(rootContainer, null);
ViewerFX viewer = new ViewerFX(rootContainer, null);
Now the object has been set up correctly it can be added to your application like any other swing component.
Here is the simple Swing application I made, demonstrating how this can be done.
If you wish to remove some or all of the viewer user interface that is also possible by simply setting the preferences to display the desired components and passing in the path (on the file system or within the jar by adding "jar:" to the start of the path) to this file in the Viewer(Container display, String PreferencesPath) constructor.
Print PDF files
Q. Is there a complete example to print a PDF file?
org/jpedal/examples/printing/SilentPrint.java is a full code example (with additional features) to print a PDF file.
There is also a 5 step tutorial to add printing to your code on at how-to-print-pdf-files-in-java
Q. Is there a way to Stop printing PDF form objects?
Sometimes you may want to stop PDF Form components printing. JPedal allows considerable flexibility in doing this on any type or subtype of PDF Form Object
This example code will stop printing PDF Forms
//create Map wth int[] array of types and subtypes to ignore (all values in PdfDictionary)
Map map=new HashMap();
//this would stop all subtype popups
map.put(JPedalSettings.IGNORE_FORMS_ON_PRINT,new int[]{PdfDictionary.Popup});
//this would stop all subtype popups and all type PDF Annot
//map.put(JPedalSettings.IGNORE_FORMS_ON_PRINT,new int[]{PdfDictionary.Annot, PdfDictionary.Popup});
//static version for all instances
//non-static for just this instance
}catch(Exception e){
PDF Image questions
Q. How do I convert a PDF to Image?
Here is Java code sample to provide PDF to image conversion in Java – just cut and paste into your code (you can also use PDFDecoder if you want the GUI as well).
/**instance of PdfDecoder to convert PDF into image*/ PdfDecoderServer decode_pdf = new PdfDecoderServer(true); /**set mappings for non-embedded fonts to use*/ FontMappings.setFontReplacements(); /**open the PDF file - can also be a URL or a byte array*/ try { decode_pdf.openPdfFile("C:/myPDF.pdf"); //file //decode_pdf.openPdfFile("C:/myPDF.pdf", "password"); //encrypted file //decode_pdf.openPdfArray(bytes); //bytes is byte[] array with PDF //decode_pdf.openPdfFileFromURL("http://www.mysite.com/myPDF.pdf",false);
decode_pdf.setExtractionMode(0, 1f); //do not save images /**get page 1 as an image*/ //page range if you want to extract all pages with a loop //int start = 1, end = decode_pdf.getPageCount(); BufferedImage img=decode_pdf.getPageAsImage(1); /**close the pdf file*/ decode_pdf.closePdfFile(); } catch (PdfException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

"For the price, these were perfect. It would have cost me significantly more to custom design my own holiday stationary with the same quality paper. Even when I opted for upgrades like the shimmery paper, metallic envelopes and corner cuts, it was still cheaper than custom printing my own stuff. My logo was printed in full color and looks great. The only thing I don't like is that they have the "tinyprints" trademark on the back of every card. I wish they would offer an option to have that removed. If you're paying for the product, why would you pay for them to have free advertising on your paid item?"
"The cards arrived early and they are truly elegant. Very rich. I ordered the gold envelopes and was concerned they might be that cheap gold color - they are just gorgeous! Thick paper, rich color, really nice. I bought the mailing stickers to match. Very happy with this purchase!!"
"This card is very professional and is just as it appears on the screen. We ordered it for my husband's small business but I also received the very same card from a large private equity firm at work. So, this card is very versatile."
"I ordered this card and sent it out to my clients and after it was mailed withing two days I had three people calling not only to say thank you for the beautiful card but their first remark was " what a nice design, this card is so different than any other card they usually receive". The card is simple but yet delivers the message so gracefully."
"This is a very nice card made with a quality cardstock. Be aware that the color is not a bright red - it's more of a brck red. We approved our proof on 11/8/12 (we put our company logo on the front and our names were printed on the back) and we received our order of 400 cards on 11/15/12 - FANTASTIC service! This is our fourth year ordering from Tiny Prints."

The growing use of social media in the U.S. has had implications in both the employment and educational contexts. In recent years, some employers and educational institutions have asked current and/or prospective employees or students to grant the employer or school access to social media accounts. From 2012-2014 (as of September 2014), nineteen states enacted varying legislation addressing access of this type (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin), and numerous additional bills on the topic were introduced.
This act makes it a crime and Class D felony to manufacture, import, install, or reinstall a nonfunctional or counterfeit airbag. It also makes it a crime, punishable by the increased penalty, to knowingly sell, offer for sale, manufacture, import, install, or reinstall a counterfeit or nonfunctional air bag, as defined in the act. Further, selling or offering for sale a replacement device that the seller knows or reasonably should know does not meet federal airbag safety standards will be considered an unfair or deceptive trade practice under state law.
This joint resolution makes permanent the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board's rule that all home inspectors must make a written notation if they see yellow corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) during the course of their inspection. The home inspector is required to notify the homeowner in writing that only a licensed electrical contractor can determine if the yellow CSST is properly bonded and grounded per the current National Fuel Gas Code and as required by the manufacturer's installation instructions. Bonding is provided primarily to prevent a possible electric shock to people who come in contact with the gas piping and other metal objects connected to the grounding system.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global Intellectual Property Center, a CSG Associate, has issued holiday shopping tips for consumers. Through its Dangerous Fakes campaign, the center is issuing consumer alert tips to empower holiday shoppers to make smart decisions and avoid counterfeits. The center suggests 10 tips to avoid dangerous fakes.
The state of Pennsylvania is currently debating over whether the state should get out of the alcohol selling industry and privatize the sale of alcohol. While there are 17 states in the union that have some kind of state alcohol regulatory agency, only Utah and Pennsylvania exert total control over the sales.
Two years ago, Congress passed, and the president signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law. A response to the financial meltdown in 2008, Dodd-Frank initiated one of the most significant restructurings of financial regulations since the Great Depression, and a great deal of the reforms hinged on states' relationships and regulatory authority over financial institutions. Now, with the law in effect and the federal rule-making process well under way, some states are using their new authorities in unpredicted—and unprecedented—ways.
More and more frequently, state and territorial attorneys general are at the forefront of dealing with great issues of the day, from combating human trafficking to enforcing consumer protection and cyberspace laws. With each year, attorneys general face additional challenges and legal landscapes. In 2012, attorneys general are shining a light on modern day slavery, as well as continuing to fight financial fraud. Additionally, Election Day 2012 will bring at least five new state attorneys general and another five who are seeking re-election.
A settlement between U.S. states and the nation's largest mortgage lenders over foreclosure abuses is a go as every state but one—Oklahoma—has signed on to the deal. The settlement is described by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder as the "largest joint federal-state civil settlement in the history of this nation." The settlement is between 49 state attorneys general, the Justice Department, the U.S. Department of Housing and five major banks. The exact value of the settlement is unclear, but could range from $26 billion to upwards of $39 billion.
According to the National Retail Federation, eight in ten shoppers plan to give gift cards during the 2011 holiday season. Gift cards are regulated by federal and state laws.

I am looking for some advice. My husband and I will be traveling to Italy at the end of the month. We will be spending several days in Venice and from my calculations, Bolzano Vicentino, my husband's ancestral town, is about an hour away from Venice. I am looking to get some advice from someone who may be familiar with the area on how best we should get to Bolzano Vicentino - would it be worth it to rent a car, a driver, or just take the train to a nearby town and take a cab?
This is my first trip overseas to do a little bit of ancestry, so I am hoping that someone can help guide me with what is the best way to go.

Medical Marijuana Innovation Through Biotechnology
Our mission is to elevate the cannabis industry to higher medical standards by streamlining the prescription, cultivation and consumer cannabis selection process.
While others are looking to make marijuana stronger, PotBotics is looking to make it smarter. Our diverse technology offering blends robotics, artificial intelligence, DNA analysis and cannabis research to address the major pain points in the medical marijuana industry, benefiting patients, physicians, cultivators and dispensary owners. Together our three products create an enterprise technology platform for medical marijuana. Our "cannabinoid matrixes," or specific ratios of the various chemicals in marijuana, form the underlying basis of our three main products – PotBot, BrainBot and NanoPot.
Virtual Budtender
PotBot is a unique medical marijuana recommendation engine that uses cutting edge neural-net algorithms to recommend cannabinoid levels and custom strains to medical marijuana patients. By combining scientific data and crowdsourced reviews, PotBot's desktop and mobile app will guide patients toward the appropriate strain and consumption method for their specific ailments, eliminating the need for patients to experiment with different strains themselves. With Potbot's interactive in-store kiosks, dispensaries benefit from a fully integrated POS system, facial recognition, and encrypted cloud infrastructure that help elevate security, meet state regulations, and expedite orders.
Marijuana Recommendation
Doctors who understand the medicinal value of cannabis are frustrated by the lack of research and scientific data on medical marijuana and its use cases for treating specific symptoms and conditions. With BrainBot, PotBotics has developed a wireless EEG (electroencephalography) helmet that allows general practitioners to capture brain waves and analyze a patient's neural response to cannabinoid stimulants so that the right strain and cannabinoid level can be recommended. By identifying and quantifying the effects different cannabinoids have on a patient, BrainBot reduces patients' reliance on a "roll of the dice" medical marijuana recommendation.
Optimize Growth
NanoPot is an advanced DNA reader that scans cannabis seeds to optimize growers' yields. By using gene-radar technology to rapidly and accurately detect genetic fingerprints from cannabis seeds, cannabis cultivators can both understand the seed's molecular biology and more effectively breed plants that benefit specific ailments. With NanoPot, cultivators get a fully customized growth plan with optimal amounts of irrigation, sunlight, UV films and nano fertilizers to use when growing specific strains and hybrids, reducing their reliance on outdated techniques for maximizing cannabis growth yields.
The Application of Cannabinoids and Cannabinoid Ratios for Specific Medical Treatments
The use of phytocannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoid compounds is gaining momentum for various medical applications. Research aimed at elucidating the efficacy and mechanisms of action for various cannabinoids is increasingly demonstrating their potential as therapeutics for other difficult to treat diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, and epilepsy. In this whitepaper, we address the most promising cannabinoid compounds as well as their proven efficacy for medical conditions and symptom relief.

A mocktacular, morally dubious and arousing revelation from Team Ninja this week. The fabricators of fighting franchise Dead or Alive and the voluptuous vixens therein spoke to PSU regarding the much-vaunted 'jiggliness' of the games. Kotaku reports that producer Yosuke Hayashi alleged that the team for the impending Dead or Alive 5 'went "hands on" with partners and other studio staff to get the game's breast physics "right"'. Preposterous implications abound! We'd venture that perhaps a 'Bring your partner to work (and fondle their norks) day' was announced for this imperative research. The involvement of studio staff exacerbates this oddity. Was Fat Linda, the woman in the canteen with boobs like two immense buckets of water filled with angry piranhas, invited to partake? We daresay she wasn't. To curtail the piss-taking, it would undoubtedly be refreshing to behold the series getting breast physics right, as in erstwhile iterations they have presented a consistency akin to devouring a blancmange on the moon.

The Galley Restaurant: The Galley Restaurant
The Galley Restaurant is the cafeteria style restaurant located inside Mystic Seaport. They had a nice selection of the usual items you can find in these types of restaurants like burgers, fries, pizza, hot dogs, chicken tenders, shrimp, fish and a variety of other items.
Ferni and I were a bit hungry and decided to grab a quick bite. Ferni ordered the chicken tenders with fries, I had the fish and chips.
The food was quite good for what this place is. The fish and the chicken were better than your usual fast food place but the fries were so, so good!!
We enjoyed our meal here, but next time we'll just get the fries and pack our lunch with us, the prices are a bit high :(
Favorite Dish: Ferni had the chicken tenders and fries, I ordered the fish and chips.

Schaefer's Spouter Tavern: Indoors or from a Kiosk
We did not eat while we were here, but the main regular place to eat seems to be Schaefer's Spouter Tavern is open weekdays 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., weekends until 5 p.m.
The flavor of a 19th-century seafaring village is delectably preserved at Schaefer's Spouter Tavern, with noontime meals that include authentic soups, stews, sandwiches and desserts. You can even find a beer at an old-time price - just 5 cents for a mini-glass. The tavern is open during the warm weather months.
Named for the tavern in Melville's Moby-Dick, Schaefer's Spouter Tavern is a re-created exhibit, built by the Museum in 1956. However, the woodwork in its main room, including doors, windows, floor, wainscoting, bar, benches and fireplace, comes from the Central House Inne in Stoddard, New Hampshire, built in 1833. The hideaway bed in the corner was for a hired barman, who slept there to admit late travelers, and also to keep an eye on the supplies.
Also there is the Seamen's Inne Restaurant & Pub, The Galley and various outside kiosks and carts selling food.

It is located just down the street from Mystic Seaport and is a great place to eat after spending the day walking around the museum. Even just going there to sit and have a glass of wine is really nice.
Favorite Dish: It's hard for really fresh seafood to be bad no matter where you get it from and here everything is very fresh and very good. Personally I love oysters and always get them here because I know that they are of really good quality, but everything else that I've had has been great, too.

Singapore completes third command of multinational counter-piracy task force
Published on Jun 6, 2013 7:13 PM
Singapore has completed a three-month stint in the Gulf of Aden, during which it led multi-national anti-piracy patrols.
On Thursday, Rear-Admiral Giam Hock Koon from the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) handed over command of Combined Task Force (CTF) 151 to his Pakistani counterpart Commodore Muhammad Ihsan Qadir.
Since March, Radm Giam and 48 other Singapore navy, air force and army servicemen led the CTF 151 in the Gulf of Aden and its surrounding waters, commanding vessels from various countries such as Australia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, the United States and South Korea.
Under Singapore's command, there were no successful hijacking incidents in the CTF 151's area of responsibility.

Seer sucker: Octopus oracle picks Spain to win
BERLIN There's been plenty of ink for Paul the octopus lately, and why not?
The octopus, also known as the "Oracle of Oberhausen," has successfully predicted the winner of six World Cup matches so far.
Now, Paul has forecast the winner of Sunday's championship match. And rather than go out on a limb - or maybe eight of them - the critter is sticking with the favorite, picking Spain over the Netherlands.
Handlers of the 2 1/2-year-old floppy octopus - a resident of the Oberhausen Sea Life aquarium - usually have him make predictions only for games in which Germany plays. But because of Paul's recent worldwide fame and demand for his pick for the final, they made an exception.
Here's how the seer sucker makes his prognostications: Officials put a mussel inside each of two clear plastic boxes bearing the national flags of the teams in his tank. Paul then makes his choice by opening the lid with his tentacles and devouring one of the treats.
Millions across Europe, in Taiwan and elsewhere watched a live TV broadcast Friday of his choice of Spain, complete with breathless commentary. He also predicted Germany over Uruguay in Saturday's third-place game.
Paul has gotten business proposals, has thousands of Facebook fans and even has the attention of world leaders.
Animal rights group PETA wants him freed. Many Germans - upset that he correctly picked Spain over Germany in Wednesday's semifinal - want him fried.
"Paul is such a professional oracle - he doesn't even care that hundreds of journalists are watching and commenting on every move he makes," said Stefan Porwoll, the Sea Life aquarium manager. "We're so proud of him."
After his prediction of his home country's loss came true, German TV showed footage of a grilled octopus. That prompted Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to fret about the safety of "El Pulpo Paul," as he's known in Spain.
"I am concerned about the octopus," Zapatero said. "I'm thinking about sending in a team to protect the octopus because obviously it was very spectacular that he should get Spain's victory right from there."
In response to hundreds of angry e-mails from Germans, the aquarium actually took extra precautions, Porwoll said.
"I even told our guards and people at the entrance to keep a close look at possible football fans coming after Paul for revenge," he said, adding that the hate mail was outweighed by declarations of love and requests for predictions.
PETA says Paul's tank is too small. But Porwoll said the creature was born in captivity and has never had to deal with any natural enemies, so dumping Paul into the Atlantic would likely mean death. He could live up to four years in captivity, Porwoll added.
In the meantime, he might have a future beyond World Cup. A reporter from Greece asked if the mollusk medium could foresee the end of the financial crisis, and German TV stations have offered lucrative contracts, Porwoll said.

Ha – Former UFC fighter Drew Fickett was featured on a 2001 episode of Judge Judy. This gives Tim Sylvia's appearance on "Blind Date" a run for its money.
Fickett eventual losses his case in the conclusion here.
TG "CagePotato" for the priceless find.
wait what hahaha tim was on blind date??
Oh Tom, it was hysterical and pathetic at the same time. You need to find it.
yes that is a must see, check out the link i left on the fedor thread if you want a good laugh.
the tim blind date is classic. it sucks the vid isn't linked anymore. i'll bet it has something to do with ficket and some alcohol.
I didn't know that Tim was on blind date until this thread. I found it on youtube and it was hilarious. I guess the I'm the current erghhhhhhhhhhh former UFC HW champ line doesn't seal the deal. I'm assuming he broke his arm by Mir and even threw in the "I didn't wanna tap cuz I'm a warrior line" didn't cut it either.
