First Subsea Invests in Test Rig for Mooring Connectors (UK)
Subsea mooring connector (SMC) specialist, First Subsea has invested over £200,000 in new mooring connector test rig facilities at its production site in Lancaster, UK.
The test-rig is being used in the manufacture of 'next generation' SMCs for industry leading, deepwater mooring projects: the Jack & St Malo field's semi-submersible platform and Lucius field's Spar moorings, both in the Gulf of Mexico.
The SMC test rig is used for proof load and Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) testing up to 2,600mT (25,497 kN).
'Next Generation' Mooring Connectors
First Subsea leads the world in research into large scale steel forgings. In collaboration with the University of Sheffield's Institute for Microstructural and Mechanical Process Engineering (IMMPETUS), the company has systematically improved the performance of its mooring connectors. The metals forging research is now being applied to the manufacture of the company's latest Ballgrab Series III male connectors – the largest produced so far with an un-corroded 2,599mT (25,491kN) MBL, and compliant with the ABS Mooring Guide 2009.
"This is a significant investment that will ensure our Ballgrab subsea mooring connector continues to set the standard for deepwater moorings," says John Shaw, managing director, First Subsea Ltd.

Israel: Pinnacles Delivers First Gas
Israel's Delek Group has been informed by the operator, Noble Energy Mediterranean Ltd., that on June 12, 2012, development of Pinnacles #1 was completed and gas began to flow from it.
Pinnacles offshore well was recently linked by a subsea pipeline to the nearby Mari B production platform. Helix ESG's reeled pipelay vessel, Express, which in April arrived at the port city of Haifa, Israel, completed the SURF (Subsea Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines) work.
According to the Israel-based financial newspaper The Globes, Pinnacles well will produce 150 million cubic feet of gas per day.
Noble Energy Mediterranean Vice President Lawson Freeman told The Globes that the company was excited to bring the Pinnacles well on stream. He also added that the company was pushing hard to accelerate the Noa development in the same way.
Development of the Noa field is geared to allow for additional supplies of natural gas to the Israeli market, until the start of natural gas supplies from the Tamar project in early 2013.

Port Lavaca, Texas: Excelerate Developing First U.S. FLSO
Excelerate Energy® L.P. is moving forward with the development of the first floating liquefaction facility in the United States utilizing its Floating Liquefaction Storage Offloading vessel (FLSO™) technology.
The Lavaca Bay LNG project will be located in Port Lavaca, situated between Galveston and Corpus Christi on the Texas Gulf Coast, and will be designed to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to markets worldwide by 2017.
Excelerate Energy's FLSO comprises 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of production capacity, 250,000 cubic meters (m3) of LNG storage, and a fully integrated gas processing plant. With this gas processing capability, the FLSO can accommodate a wide range of gas compositions at its inlet making it well suited for virtually any application near shore or offshore. For those situations where gas processing is not required due to presence of existing processing facilities or where pipeline quality gas is used as the feedstock, the processing equipment can be removed and liquefaction capacity increased to 4 MTPA.
The FLSO will measure 338 meters in length, with a breadth of 62 meters. Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) is in an advanced phase and Excelerate is now entering into discussions with potential off takers and natural gas suppliers as well as investors and potential sources of finance to take the project forward. Excelerate Energy expects FEED to last until the end of 2012, and following its completion and successful permitting project delivery will take approximately 44 months from final investment decision (FID).
In its initial phase, the Lavaca Bay LNG project will consist of one permanently moored FLSO with multiple connections to the onshore natural gas grid in South Texas. The project will be designed with the potential for expansion and the addition of a second FLSO over time for a total production capacity of up to 8 MTPA. Excelerate Energy expects to begin the export authorization and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting immediately, and is in the process of completing its site-specific final front-end engineering design (FEED) effort.
"Excelerate Energy applies the same philosophy to its liquefaction vessel design as it does to its regasification vessel fleet – essentially using proven technology in an innovative way to provide more efficient and timely solutions to the LNG industry," stated Rob Bryngelson, Excelerate Energy President and CEO. "Port Lavaca provides us with the unique opportunity to further capitalize on our position as a market leader in floating LNG solutions."
Excelerate Energy selected Port Lavaca for the site of the facility because of its direct access to the highly liquid south Texas natural gas market, access to the Atlantic Basin through the Gulf of Mexico, and potential access to the Pacific basin with the widening of the Panama Canal. The facility will interconnect to the region's existing pipeline system in order to obtain natural gas and liquefy it onboard the vessel. The Port Lavaca location being developed by Excelerate Energy has previously received FERC approval as an LNG import facility, which should facilitate the permitting process.

With my bike being used in small duration motos, it isn't as critical as the Baja bike, so I'm gonna proceed. That being said, I do plan to go over all welds and mounting points to check and repair before powder coat. Thanks again for the heads up!
Did you race flat track? Those are my roots and I'm always up to hear any old war stories. Have you seen the four Ricky Graham videos, they are pretty cool, here is video number 1;
I've seen the same thing with powder coating and IIRC, he said something about that too. He just thought it made for more problems than it was worth.
Back then, I tried to talk to as many people as I could at the races before I started myself. You can learn a lot if you keep your mouth largely shut e.g. I learned how to safety wire from watching Team Kawasaki, use oversize rings on standard pistons and file them down to set a tight end gap, etc. I only wish I'd written it all down.
Nope, no flat track just roadraced some and then in the woods in '07 and '08. I'm going back into the woods in April, but that's another thread.

New London - The city's Board of Ethics may decide to conduct its own investigation into alleged ethics violations by City Councilor Michael Buscetto III, but it closed its doors to the public Wednesday night before making any decision.
Five members of the seven-member board voted to go into executive session to review its "authority and responsibilities ... to investigate claims of unethical behavior against a sitting member of the council.''
Chairman K. Robert Lewis said the board can discuss "issues involving the code of ethics'' in closed session.
The Day objected to the closed-door portion of the meeting, saying the item was a matter of policy and not protected under the state Freedom of Information Act.
For several minutes before the doors were closed, Lewis reviewed an email he sent to city councilors Aug. 26 in which he stated he believed the council could not investigate itself and that the ethics panel should look into the allegations leveled against Buscetto by Police Chief Margaret Ackley.
Mayor Martin Olsen said he was asked informally by the City Council to attend the ethics board meeting. He told them that the council voted late Tuesday to create a three-member subcommittee to review a list of possible investigators to look into Ackley's claims. The committee is Adam Sprecace, Wade Hyslop and Michael Passero.
The City Council met in closed session Aug. 24 to discuss a list of complaints by Ackley, who said during a public meeting that Buscetto was interfering with the police department, undermining her authority and creating a hostile work environment.
City Law Director Thomas Londregan would not release Ackley's list, saying it pertained to "strategy and negotiations with respect to pending claims or pending litigation.'' The Day has requested a copy of the list, believing it to be a public document.
Last week Ackley also confirmed that she filed a complaint with the ethics board against Buscetto, but she would not say what it was about.
In open session Wednesday, the ethics board also talked about asking for a copy of Ackley's list and possibly sharing the City Council's investigator. There was also a question of how the board, which has no budget, could pay a private investigator.
At least two members of the board questioned why the public was allowed into any portion of the meeting,
"My concern, and my history with the ethics board during 25 to 30 years, is we've never had public sessions,'' said Eunice Waller, a former mayor who, at the Tuesday night council meeting, supported the chief and called on city councilors to ask Ackley not to retire.
Board member Sheila McCarthy also questioned why the public was allowed into a portion of the meeting.
According the city's Code of Ethics, the board has five days to respond to a complaint. If the board accepts the complaint, it has 90 days to investigate and evaluate the merits of the complaint. If probable cause is found, the board has five to 14 days to make it public. A hearing must be set up within 90 days and the board has 30 days to deliberate on a code violation.
According the code, which was amended in May, "the complaint and all information supplied to or received from the Board during the evaluation or investigation shall remain confidential."

The museum maintains gallery space and a number of historic buildings original to the site, as well as log structures transported from around the state. It was previously known as the Arkansas Territorial Restoration, but the name was changed when new exhibit space and renovations were completed in the early 2000s.[citation needed] The museum is an affiliate within the Smithsonian Affiliations program.[1]

Issaquah Open Mic night steams to train depot
September 25, 2012
Doug Browning knew he had a good thing going with open mic night. Now if only he could convince the owner of a venue to give his event a permanent home.
After a virtual game of musical chairs in locations in restaurants around town, Browning believes his group has struck a deal to keep a musical evening for amateur singers in a permanent home for the foreseeable future.
The Downtown Issaquah Association is now co-sponsoring the event along with the Issaquah History Museums and the Issaquah Valley Senior Center, Browning said.
It was much like a three-team trade — the open mic guys get to use the depot museum and the history museums gets to use the senior center in return. Everybody wins.

On Aug. 23, a vintage streetcar completed a 1,659-mile trip from Ida Grove, Iowa, to Issaquah aboard a specialized flatbed trailer. The arrival marked a milestone in the $744,700 effort to refurbish the vehicle, restore downtown railroad track and prepare the streetscape for streetcar traffic.
Organizers plan to start offering rides to the public starting Oct. 14, a day after a celebration for the Issaquah History Museums' 40th anniversary. The planned route stretches about a half-mile from the Issaquah Train Depot to the East Fork of Issaquah Creek at Darigold.
"It looked every bit as good as we expected it to — and probably better," Issaquah Valley Trolley Project Chairwoman Jean Cerar said. "If you gave it just a cursory glance, actually, it kind of looked like the car that left, only brighter."
Crews repainted the streetcar in the same cream-and-red color scheme, but beneath the surface, workers installed modern systems and revamped the battered interior. The result "has that new trolley smell to it," Cerar said.

The Pioneer Woman's Baked French Toast — The New Girlby Lauren Miyashiro in Family, Recipes, February 19th, 2013
Every morning I wake up to my stomach growling. So when planning for the weekend, the first thing I account for is my breakfast lineup. While cereal and toast suffice Monday through Friday, my appetite is slightly more indulgent and demanding on Saturdays and Sundays. The biggest question becomes sweet or savory?
Although I usually opt for recipes involving bacon or eggs, every now and again I need my maple syrup fix. Pancakes and waffles are easy enough to whip together to satiate my a.m. sweet tooth. But for an extra special treat, I like the Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Baked French Toast.
Why ditch the skillet and change up a classic? You can do all the work the night before. For a relaxing, mess-free morning, Ree transforms the original into a make-ahead breakfast casserole. After popping the dish into the oven, the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg fill the air and the hardest part becomes waiting.

I bought it after reading these reviews. I have thin hair, so it always gets knotty after the shower. I feel like this is no different than my regular hair brush, except this one can be held in the palm of my hand and more expensive..
I don't feel like it was any different in term of getting rid of the knots. I also felt like it made my hair frizzier.

I have waist-length fine hair that is very difficult to detangle. It normally takes me 10-15 minutes to detangle my wet hair after a shower. This product does detangle well and cuts that time dramatically, but it disrupts my curl pattern for some reason. I think my hair is 2a type. Now I will only use this in the shower to detangle since it only seems to mess up my curls when I use this brush as the final detangle before drying. I like using this in the shower because it helps me use less conditioner since it distributes product really well. I don't notice a different in shedding unfortunately, but I will continue to use this brush in the shower and use my Body Shop wood comb for the after shower detangle.

This little magic brush is amazzing!!
If only it had been around when I was younger.I have really thick hair that easily gets knotted and lets just say over the years I have broken many a hair brush.
But now after washing my hair I run this thru my hair and tangles disappear and even the condition of my hair has vastly imrpoved since investing in this.
You can buy them in toy stores as well as hair salons.Mine cost €10!Money well spent.

So, first, a bit about my hair: I have very curly, but smooth, biracial hair (maybe 3c?). I bought this product because my hair is generally healthy and easy to deal with, but it takes a long time to detangle and distribute conditioner in the shower.
I give this a 3 because while it works exactly as it is supposed to (goes though my hair amazingly, cuts shower time like woah), I don't like how it makes my hair look. I usually only finger comb to protect the integrity of my ringlets, and unfortunately, this product makes my usually perfect ringlets a fuzzy mess (even though I only use it in the shower with conditioner). I'll maybe keep using this when I know I'm going to pull my hair back, but definitely not when I want to wear it down.

Didn't buy this, so I don't know how much it costs because my dad has this (he owns a hair salon and is a hair stylist).
I used to use it when I was a kid getting a haircut and my hair was REALLY tangly as hell. Works like magic (lol cheesy) and idk how it works but it gets out the tangles. Now my sister uses it before getting a haircut...her hair is like a birds nest ==

This is a great little product, but, as far as I know, unknown in Australia. I ordered mine from the UK. It works a treat in my waist length, getting the knots out without creating static, and just glides through my 3 1/2 year old's curls. I have since bought myself a purse sized one, and another for my mum.

This thing is amazing! Everyone should have one! I have really long hair, and my hair is becoming progressively snarly as I go...it's painful and frustrating to comb my hair - whether wet or dry. I have used this with both wet and dry hair today and it works like a charm! I got this for $9.49 with the Sally's card at Sally Beauty. It is worth every penny - especially if you have long, difficult hair!

Love this product. I have thin, blonde, long hair and it always gets massive knots in it. This prevents it - I love it. Retails for around £10.

This is a silly looking brush with a silly name. The tangle teazer- sounds like a sex toy. I have VERY fine and wavy, but thick hair. After an amorous tryst, it's a veritable rat's nest. The tangle teazer works better than my pricey Mason Pearson but with a titillating name.
Edit: stupidly threw my previous brush out and later repurchased. I love using it in the shower after I've put conditioner in my hair because less hair ends up stuck in the drain. Great product.

I am in looooooooove with this brush. I am biracial and my hair is a PITA to brush/comb. It's always tangled or matted and I'm left in agony trying to brush it out. I've tried wide tooth combs, regular brushes, boar bristle brushes etc...but this is the ONLY one that gets rid of my knots effectively and gently! I'm so amazed as I thought it was all hype. I paid just over £10 for this and it's so worth it, I think I need to buy backups. It doesn't pull or tug my hair (usually my hair falls out in clumps trying to get knots out but not with this!) yet gets ALL tangles out and leaves my hair feeling really smooth and soft. It adds shine too. Amazing product and definately worth the price!

Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica (& more)
Inside The Elite Undercover Polyphonicar
- Sunday, November 23rd 2014 | News
I happen to have a photo from inside my old top secret Infiniti G35x undercover Polyphonica itasha, pictured is the computer, which also provided GPS and music, as well as the Whistler radar detector. There's also the spare Corti keyboard in the back, plus the array of nice accessories. Not pictured is the Contour action camera which I'm quite certain combined with the other facets of the vehicle, left people thinking it's a strange variety of cop vehicle.
My Old Laptop Was A Sony VAIO E
Sony's exit from the consumer laptop business was not long after I received my custom built Sony VAIO E – a laptop that turned out to have an odd combination of buff immensity in a slightly wimpy package.
Sony obviously won't have dropped from the business if it were working out for them. A long time fan of their products, browsing the local Sony Style stores, I'd always encounter some absurdly refined masterpiece of a portable computer, with a price tag to match. Come the day I finally ordered my own, it had two graphics cards when most only had one, it had 16GB of RAM, an SSD, and a 17.3 inch 1080P screen from the very best of the monitor makers out there. Unlike the majority of laptops with an energy conserving four logical processor limited Core i7, this one had eight, and overclocked well-beyond 3Ghz.
"Nisekoi Majikore!?" Marika Outfit Collection
Nisekoi's "Majikore" mobile game gives each of the four girls a collection of less than sexy, to rather so, costumes to model all for otaku to gawk at brainlessly. The Marika fanatics have managed to unlock all of her outfits, most of which are inferior to Chitoge's, no matter, she does have one or two intriguing ensemble choices.
"Fate/Kaleid Liner" Steamy Blu-Ray Boxes
Among all tokutens that have been released along with the Blu-rays for the first season of Silver Link's incredibly tantalizing service show Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, the handiest ones are certainly the boxes. With them, you're sure to have all your precious optical media gathered in one place, and you'll never lose your dearest treasures.
These repositories are made primarily to safely keep your favorite loli fanfare anime so you can drool all over Illya and Miyu whenever needed, but frankly these containers are quite delectable themselves. You certainly have to admire the gloriousness of Miyu's pantsu on the forefront of this first one, with the rest being quite wonderful as well even though the platinum-haired heroine is wearing too much clothing.
"Evangelion" Asuka Pantsu Collection
- Saturday, June 28th 2014 | Manga & Novels
Evangelion Ikari Shinji Ikusei Keikaku is a very visually pleasing manga spin-off parody that unfolds much in the same vein as To Love-Ru, only using Evangelion based humor, and of course, Evangelion characters. There's indeed an abundance of pantsu and oppai. And across the, currently 16, available volumes, one will be welcomed with plenty of sweet Asuka Langley service.
She's a classic tsundere who only seems to get sweeter with age, the definition of kinpatsu splendor. Below are pages taken out across the whole of the available volumes of this series, a small handpicked collection of predominantly Asuka dominated -and more specifically- Asuka lower body oriented, shimapan centric gratuity.
Polyphonica's Irresistable Comiket 85 Goods

Another Polyphonica Pixiv artwork, this one comes made with the intention of a Twitter avatar, featuring the face of the series' hit blonde character. It's an up-close and exquisite sketch which accurately recreates a Noboru Kannatsuki style Perserte.
Polyphonica Pixiv Art: Feisty Corticarte In Dress
- Sunday, January 19th 2014 | Misc
This Polyphonica themed Pixiv illustration features a flaming hot Corticarte, posing with plenty of zest, visual style emitting a feisty feeling, and fashion as fantastic as always. This is her oft-seen dress, and the artist did it justice as he did Corticarte herself.
Polyphonica Pixiv Art: Corticarte Summer Dress Collage
A brilliant idea with beautiful payout, a Pixiv artist "T 3 $" collaged a series of gorgeous illustrations displaying Corticarte sporting a loose, lovely summer dress, with a free and fun tinkering personality. The concept plays off the splendid aesthetic styles of the anime's ED sequence – replicating the abstract appearance and outgoing mood, and encapsulating it in a single work of art.
Sexy Autographed Corticarte Bikini Illustration
- Friday, January 17th 2014 | Misc
I stumbled upon this stunning autographed sketch of Corticarte in her white frilly bikini from Polyphonica After School, illustrated and signed of course by none other than Noboru Kannatsuki.

Kendrick Russell, a 20-year-old homeless man, had a shovel in his hands Thursday as he helped work on a Habitat for Humanity home building project in the Enos Park neighborhood.
Kendrick Russell, a 20-year-old homeless man, had a shovel in his hands Thursday as he helped work on a Habitat for Humanity home building project in the Enos Park neighborhood.
Russell, who has been staying at the Salvation Army shelter for about a month, said he appreciated the opportunity to help the families who will one day live in the Habitat house, a duplex in the 1100 block of North Fifth Street.
"I grew up where it's more blessed to give than receive," Russell said. "I enjoy giving and putting a smile on people's faces. It's a great feeling. That's why I do it."
Russell was one of about 10 homeless people who were helping with the Habitat for Humanity build Thursday. Homeless United for Change, a Springfield group, organized the workday after some of the homeless people in the group said they wanted to help out around the city.
"They wanted to give back to the community that was giving them so much," said Linda Gessaman, executive director of Homeless United for Change. "A lot of the churches and organizations give and give. They feed them and give them clothes. (The homeless) want to have that feeling of giving too."
Thursday was the first time the group has volunteered at the Habitat house. They plan to continue the practice and make the first Thursday of every month a volunteer day.
Work on the house started last month and is expected to conclude in April. Students and other groups have also volunteered at the site.
Habitat normally builds single-family homes, but is building a two-story duplex at the Fifth Street site because it blends in better with the existing houses. When finished, it will be home to two families.
Russell, who is putting in employment applications at retail stores and fast-food restaurants, said he likes the idea of helping families move into a new house.
"You have to put yourself last and others before you. If you don't, that shows your selfishness and greed. You won't get anywhere in life like that," Russell said.

Catholic Conclave To Begin
VATICAN CITY (AP) — One of the debates among the College of Cardinals at the Vatican is whether the Catholic Church needs a task-master or a people pope. Some say the Vatican needs to be cleaned up by someone tough-minded while others want a pontiff who can inspire the faithful. Several cardinals signed up to speak at the closed-door morning session today. Deliberations begin tomorrow.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas -- Tim Hawkins accounted for three touchdowns and Texas State scored all of its points in the fourth quarter to rally past Stephen F. Austin 27-24 Saturday.
Hawkins scored on a 1-yard run and threw TD passes to Darius Bolden and Daren Dillard, the latter coming with 1:10 to play as the Bobcats (4-4, 1/3 Southland) ended the Lumberjacks' six-game winning streak.
Jeremy Moses threw for 335 yards and three touchdowns for Stephen F. Austin (6-2, 3-1), but the Lumberjacks failed to score after going up 24-0 early in the third quarter. Thomas Henshaw missed a 47-yard field goal as time expired.
Da'Marcus Griggs returned a punt 73 yards to pull Texas State to within 24-21 with 6:21 to play before Hawkins completed the comeback with a 28-yard pass to Dillard. Hawkins led the Bobcats with 121 rushing yards and was 18 of 25 passing for 194 yards.

Very Addicting
I've had this game for over a year now- still haven't unlocked the extra planes- and am still loving it. I only have one problem with it though. Sometimes, even though this is the full, paid version, ads will pop up over the panel at the bottom. This prevents me from dropping bombs or even seeing how much health I have, and gets really annoying, even making it impossible to play. Other than that, it's a great game.
No iphone 5 support. If apple wants their devices to be seen as a serious platform for gaming, they need some serious quality control. The App Store is littered with abandonware like this garbage game.

THERE'S A FAIR amount of aesthetic myopia on the contemporary-dance front this year, judging from Montreal's International Festival of New Dance, one of North America's favorite locales for artist-producer-critic toe-sucking. In previous years, this superbly organized biennial festival has been looked upon as something of a harbinger. Dance companies invited to perform at this edition of FIND (the Francophone acronym for Festival International de Nouvelle Danse) were generally well-established rule benders like Belgium's Wim Vandekeybus and Ultima Vez, Canada's La La La Human Steps or Ballet Frankfurt--companies with something to say and new ways of saying it. This year, I am sad to report, has mostly witnessed new ways of saying nothing at all.
The spotlight at FIND was cast on the Iberian peninsula and the ostensibly exploding dance/performance scenes of Madrid, Lisbon, and other major cities in Portugal and Spain. Portugal's Companhia Vera Mantero doodled onstage for a full hour and a half, littering the floor with props (flowers, windup soldiers, change, sand, bonbons) in the absolutely dreadful The Fall of an Ego. Watching it (for the 40 minutes before I snuck out of theater) felt like sitting in front of a one-way mirror and observing a bunch of people attempting improvisation while stoned. Vera Mantero is a beautiful dancer, as she demonstrated a week later in a solo performance, but her problem, and indeed a common one among companies invited by FIND, is this: Whether they mostly dance, or mostly talk while manipulating mystifying props, these dancers fail to go anyplace other than their point of departure. And the fact is that of the 13 companies I saw at FIND, all but two indulgently, detachedly, self-importantly, earnestly--doodled in place.
Highest praise goes to Compagnie Pierre Droulers, a small, breathtaking group of performers from Brussels who ought to be better known on this side of the Atlantic. Their evening-length work De L'air et du Vent (Air and Wind) was proof that the simplest metaphors are often the best and that dance is only "deep" when it doesn't try to be. The five Droulers dancers, like many other dancers on the Belgian scene, are so speedy and agile on the ground that they appear fast-forwarded. One can only hope that FIND '97, in all its sluggish indulgence, will also have fast-forwarded by 1999.

GM tries to create bidding war with the precious few bidders
"Chicago didn't give us any deadline," Towers said. "I imagine we'll continue to talk to them, but it's going to definitely take a third team to get something done there.
"With the Dodgers, the sense I got from them is they've got bigger fish to fry. If (free agent outfielder) Manny (Ramirez) falls out of the picture with them, then maybe they circle back to us. But they've always been the type of organization that's liked to hoard their good players. They'd much rather put their club together through free agency than by (trading) the depth that they have."
Certainly, an Atlanta deal could be revisited. The marketplace is fluid and top-tier pitching is always scarce. Still, the Braves have a policy against negotiating no-trade contracts, a policy Towers says could prove a "stumbling block" with Peavy, even if the two teams were to agree on the players to be exchanged.
"I don't take anything at face value this time of year," Axelrod said of Atlanta's adamance. "If I hear (Braves General Manager) Frank Wren say that he's not interested any longer, I take it with a grain of salt."
Axelrod assumes, correctly, that many of the pronouncements teams make about potential trades are mere gamesmanship. Towers assumes that Jake Peavy is too competitive to be content as the crown jewel of a tinfoil tiara; and that his personal goals may ultimately outstrip his geographic preferences and his National League bias.
Translated: Towers sees the potential for traction with the New York Yankees. The Yankees have the kind of young arms the Padres covet (in Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy), have expressed the desire to acquire as many as three established starters this offseason, and have the tradition and wherewithal to turn heads.
Problem: Jake Peavy is already set for several lifetimes, and has professed a strong preference to avoid the Boston-New York holy war.
"We gave them a top five," Axelrod said, referring to the Braves, Cubs, Dodgers, Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals. "It's not a definitive list. It's not exclusive, not cast in stone, and it's not approved.
"We have not created any list of acceptable teams (or) a list of possibly acceptable teams. Our position is to sit here and wait until a proposed trade is in place, and give input on whether that would be acceptable or not."
Towers says he will not waste his own time or that of potential trading partners without Peavy's consent. Axelrod says Peavy has rejected only one club outright, a club he declined to identify.
"As of right now, there hasn't been a deal that's been presented to us that we could accept," Towers said. "The next thing is (for) Barry to sit down with Jake and say, 'Doesn't look like anything's happening with L.A. Nothing's more than likely happening with the Cubs and as of now not with the (Braves). As of now, you're probably going to remain a Padre.' "
As of now, that's more of a threat than a promise.

HP Mini 5103 is enterprise on the go
By Rick Martin
November 12, 2010
Differentiating between the model numbers that make up the HP Mini lineup can be tricky, perhaps even more so with the competing Inspiron Mini series from Dell out there. The new HP 5103, however, does have a lot under the lid to make it stand out. Read More
The upgradable, recyclable Bloom laptop concept
By Ben Coxworth
November 5, 2010
It's a given that we will one day be discarding our present laptop computers. It's also a given that e-waste is currently a huge problem, that looks like it's only going to get worse. While most of the materials in a laptop can be recycled, all of those pieces of glass, metal, plastic and circuitry are stuck together pretty tight, and require a lot of time and effort to separate. What is needed are laptops that are designed to be taken apart, for easy recycling – that's why a group of graduate students from Stanford University made one. Read More

The new MacBook Air - Apple adds 11-inch model
October 21, 2010
The new MacBook Air has arrived – and it has a smaller sibling. Apple's update to its ultra-portable notebook range includes the addition of an 11-inch model alongside the 13-inch, with both flavors coming in at a slender 0.11-0.68 inches (0.3-1.7 cm) in height and weighing 2.3 and 2.9 pounds respectively. The top spec 13-inch has a 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 256GB of flash storage, 7 hour battery life, 1440 by 900 resolution screen and, in a welcome nod to practicality, both models now feature two USB ports.

Cleverly designed laptop stands save your back
By Ben Coxworth
August 18, 2010
Laptop computers are appropriately named, as they do sit nicely on your lap. If you've ever tried using one down there, however, you'll know that it's not the most ergonomic set-up imaginable – you have to bend your head down, keep your knees up, and feel your thighs getting toasty warm from the computer-generated heat that is evidently not able to disperse into the air. In order to position laptops in other ways, various companies have offered laptop stands to put on your desk, devices for turning your lap itself into a desk-like computer workspace, gizmos that allow you to swivel your laptop over from the passenger seat of your car, or that let you use it beside your bed. If only there was one that held your laptop in front of you while you were lying on your back... there is, of course, and Hong Kong-based company Omax has a variety of them to choose from. Read More

iXP1-500 adapter solves iPad USB charging issues
By Darren Quick

If you're still having problems though, there's now a cheap and compact solution in the form of the iXP1-500 iPad adapter. Read More
If your PC is more than a few months old, it's unlikely that you have USB 3.0.

A School is Bird-Proofed Using Bird Barrier's Bird-Shock Flex-Track
An urban school in the midwest had become the favorite roosting spot for large numbers of pigeons. The birds roosted on the school´s roof ledges leaving a mess below. Because the school´s facade is almost entirely windows, the maintenance staff faced the daily task of cleaning them. The company that handles pest control for the city's schools was called in to address the problem. Bird-Shock Flex-Track was installed to successfully deter the birds.
Carson, CA (PRWEB) August 12, 2012
The school's architecture offers hundreds of feet of ledges that attracted the pigeons on a regular basis. Day after day, the school's many windows were befouled with bird droppings requiring the maintenance staff to clean them daily. Faced with perpetual cleanup, the school eventually called their regular pest control company to address the problem.
In addition to standard pest control, this company provides bird control for their customers. They determined that Bird Barrier's Bird-Shock® Flex-Track® was the best solution for deterring the pigeons from the building's ledges.
Bird-Shock Flex-Track is a low-profile ledge deterrent system that is effective against all species of pest birds utilizing the principle of fear and flight, conditioning birds to stay away without harming them. Because this bird control product is low-profile, it is often selected to protect structures where aesthetics are important.
The pest control company installed 500 feet of Bird-Shock Flex-Track in two rows on the lower ledges of the school. The Bird-Shock system proved to be effective in moving the bird population. Unfortunately, they didn't move far. Over the next two years, the upper ledges gradually became their new roosting area. Once again, the pest control company was contacted to propose a solution. The second installation included an additional 800 feet of Bird-Shock Flex-Track on the unprotected ledges.
The city was so pleased with the results that they hired the pest control company to install a bird control system on another school in the area.
Bird Barrier is America's leading manufacturer and supplier of pest bird control products, specializing in urban bird control to remove pest birds humanely and effectively. Homeowners, boat owners, building owners/managers and professional installers rely on Bird Barrier® for the highest quality bird control to solve their bird problems.

Meet Your Legislators event brings large crowd, lively discussion
EVANSVILLE - Education issues, the state's budget, a proposed state smoking ban, alcohol sales legislation and many other topics were discussed Saturday morning at the year's first Meet Your Legislators event at Central Library.
Every seat in the room was filled and others stood against the walls as Sens. Vaneta Becker and Jim Tomes and Reps. Ron Bacon, Suzanne Crouch, Wendy McNamara and Gail Riecken fielded questions about the General Assembly session.
All are Republicans except for Riecken, a Democrat. All are from Evansville except for Tomes, of Wadesville.
Gov. Mitch Daniels has handed lawmakers' a two-year budget proposal which cuts higher education and, as Crouch noted Saturday, eliminates Lincoln Amphitheatre in Spencer County.
Local legislators agreed that it will be challenging budget to complete.
"The revenues have finally started to pick up, but we are nowhere near where we should be," Crouch said. "Revenues this year will be the same as 2005. Revenues next year are projected to be the same as 2007."
Bacon, who along with McNamara and Tomes are newcomers to the legislature, said the General Assembly "will do everything we can to keep every program we have. But difficult decisions have to be made."
Riecken said the state must focus on job growth, and "I have not seen a job creation initiative on the part of the administration."
Becker said the administration's proposed budget includes a provision which would allow Daniels to close the Evansville Psychiatric Childrens Center if he chooses.
Becker has arranged a tour of the facility on Friday for area lawmakers. She said the facility has 28 of the 41 beds in Indiana for children who are severely mentally ill, and if the facility closed, the closest alternative for families would be in Bloomington.
She said the center served 34 children over the past year and is "a last resort for kids. It's the difference between kids ending up in our corrections system, or worse."
Daniels also has proposed major education reforms, including private school vouchers and merit pay for teachers.
"There are bad teachers out there and good teachers," Tomes said. "If you want a company to do well, you need people to perform well. Same with the schools."
Riecken said she supports having local school districts control how teachers are evaluated, and she opposes vouchers and merit pay.
Becker said she is "very concerned about a lot of these proposals" but is open to studying them.
"To afford vouchers, we have to take money from the current public education system which has already had a $300 million cut," Becker said.
Becker also noted the state's lack of funding for things aimed to help children, such as preschool and remedial education, as well as professional development for teachers.
McNamara, who works for the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. as director of its Early College High School, said she wants to hear from constituents on the education proposals.
Crouch said the vast majority of teachers "do a great job ... I don't think we have bad teachers, I think we have bad rules and regulations and don't give people the tools to be successful."
Responding to a liquor store owner's concern about the impact Sunday alcohol sales and cold beer sales at groceries would have on his business, no lawmakers came out in favor of changing existing laws.
"You don't think six days a week is enough (time) to get your booze?" Tomes said. "Maybe we ought to think about going to church on Sunday."
Area lawmakers differed on the smoking ban issue.
Tomes, while saying he believes smoking is unhealthy, said he is concerned a statewide ban would be unconstitutional.
Riecken vowed to support "the most comprehensive statewide smoking ban we can get on the floor."
Bacon, a respiratory therapist and ex-smoker, said he could perhaps support a ban that includes restaurants but allows smoking in places such as casinos and bars, where children are not allowed.
Tomes, a long-time advocate of gun owners' rights, fielded a question about whether concealed weapons should be allowed to be carried on college campuses.
"We are not assigned a police officer, a guardian angel, to protect us every day," Tomes said.
Other audience members raised concerns about right-to-work legislation, cuts in Medicaid programs such as podiatry care and legislation that could allow local governments to go bankrupt.

I would think it depends on the doctors office. Maybe they'd be willing to switch to greener ones, or maybe not since it's a doctors office. Not that greener cleaning products are always better, you really shouldn't be inhaling anything.
Another thing I would consider more than the risk involved with you cleaning with them, is how strong they smell! A pregnant you will not like that, trust me.

640 Adv stiffer rear spring/forks
Have the "80" rated rear spring on the Adv now, back wheel feels much more "planted" now, still have to tweak up for sag but at standard pre-load it is feeling better for my 200lbs 6'4" frame.
Some of the front end vagueness at speed has gone away to, money permitting, it will be time to sort the forks next. Should I just up the springs or do I drop them over to WP UK for a re-valve?
Any suggestions?
Where did you get your rear spring? KTM says it has the 75 for $190 US, but I can't find another source.
Factory Connection and Mx-Tech are both WP dealers. You shouldn't have to pay more than $130 for a WP rear spring. FC prolly has them on the shelf.
The WP fork springs are $110.01 (a penny - :doh) - not bad at'all. but putting em in appears to be a biatch! Bet the revalving tain't easy neither... :arg
The WP shock spring is $119.95 - again very nice prices. :nod
anyone have any experiece with these fellas? :ear
Fork Servicing: $90/pair plus parts
Shock Servicing: $90 plus parts
MX-Tech treatment (revalve/respring?) $245 per end... :evil
Nice suspension setup diatribe here:
My forks are in pieces on top of my workbench right now. Revalving isn't a big deal if you know what changes to make to the shim stack. Disassembly was really pretty easy.
Proper fork springs have been harder to come by than the shock spring. I tried Brad Lowe's Racing, but ended up with the wrong springs for both ends, mostly because the LC4's (especially the Adv) are the Rodney Dangerfields of the KTM world. I bought Cugino Pegaso's 80/260 rear spring, and just ordered some fork springs from Mx-Tech.
The problem with sourcing fork springs is that, even though our bikes use the same basic 4860 WP fork as the '03 and '04 EXC/MXC's, it's set up internally for a 43mm x 485mm spring, instead of the 43mm x 510 mm spring of the RFS bikes, and it's not just a swap of preload spacers. The 510's won't fit without way too much preload being put on them. The one's Mx-Tech has on the shelf are 495mm, and there is plenty of room for that. I just hope the wire diameter isn't too large.
So Meaty, go ahead, dive in, do your own respring/revalve. The only special tool needed is an inch-pound torque wrench, and I'm thinkin' I 'member you got that covered. :nod
If you really want to be a tightwad, and have access to a torch and bench grinder, you can stiffen your own springs without spending a dime. But you can only go to about .48 kg/mm. I wanted .50's, and you can't cut the stockers enough to get there without reaching coil bind (coil bind bad). The rear spring would be a PITA because of the powder coating, and the need to machine a spacer.
Oh yeah, you'd prolly have to spend $10 on shims. :deal
what about all those fancy tools they specify - custom stuff for the WP forks only? Vise-Grips? :lol3
torque wrench? funny you should ask... this JUST showed up with the mailman:
I have cut my springs (forks) and all went well.
I'm sure if you take your time and don't over heat the springs you will be OK.
And it was my first time and it took about 4 hrs but should of taken only 2 hrs.
But I played with different size spacers, instead of doing what was
recommended. (just had to play)
With the stock spring I had static sag of 33 mm and rider sag of 64 mm,
with gear on.
I cut 3 coils off at this point to bring the spring rate up from .42 to .455.
And now I have a static sag of 33 mm and rider sag of 52 mm,
unfortunately this was measured with out all my gear on.
I did have to put a longer spacer in, I went from a 7.3 to 46 mm spacer.
Now the rate that was recommended by Race Tech was .48.
But we have found that sometimes the spring rate that you guys in the US
like, are sometimes a bit to heavy for our riding conditions.
So I will try this for a week or two before I cut any more off.
The max I can cut off is 5.8 coils. (that is with 10% safety accounted for)
And if I cut 5 coils or if you like 2 more, I will get the rate of .48.
But as you can not put the coils back on, I will take it slowly.
And will do it in two more steps so I don't over do it and have regrets.
Here is a link with a good work sheet in it to help you out,
Just one OMFG: that fella in his review of a new DL650 took it up to 10,500 before he even got to 500 miles... now I know there are some people who believe in breaking them in hard, but JFK I had no idea they were wringing their lil' necks! :arg
"there was a little metal in the oil" - no shite sherlock... it would be interesting to put that baby to bed one day - have two new engines blueprinted and then subjected to the two break-in theories (baby vs. biatch-slap) and then opened up and analyzed at what? 1000 miles? 5K? 10K?
who would do this? mfg? mag? rich boy? :dunno
So the fork re-valve is a case of inserting discs/washers into the fork tube? Sounds good.

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - The New York Giants, while simultaneously being denied a chance to defend their Super Bowl title, delivered a resounding victory Sunday in what may have been Andy Reid's last game on the Philadelphia Eagles' sideline.
Eli Manning threw a career-high five touchdowns passes despite windy conditions in leading the Giants to a 42-7 blowout win in what proved to be both teams' season finale.
New York (9-7), the front-runner in the NFC East for most of the season, was eliminated from postseason contention when the Chicago Bears upended the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. A 2-5 stretch coming into Week 17 proved too much for the reigning champions to overcome, though a pair of rookies showed promise heading into next season.
Rueben Randle caught two TD passes, while fellow rookie David Wilson caught another from Manning, who finished with 208 yards on 13-of-21 passes.
Ahmad Bradshaw gained 148 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown in finishing off the Eagles' 4-12 campaign -- the worst in Reid's 14-year tenure in the City of Brotherly Love.
Michael Vick, in his first start since suffering a concussion against the Cowboys in Week 10, completed just 19-of-35 attempts for 197 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the loss.
The Eagles can opt of Vick's hefty contract in the offseason, leading many to speculate his days, like Reid's, are numbered in Philadelphia.
