"The benefits of data acquisition technology in the development of race converters gets trickled down throughout our entire product line. From the fastest automatic-equipped race cars to the tree-trunk pulling torque of modified diesels, and right down to your street car. For instance, the converters we developed for the fifth-gen Camaro is really a byproduct of all the work we are doing with high-horsepower Outlaw turbo cars. Our billet stators feature a proprietary blade design that offers more stall speed and unbelievable part-throttle characteristics. The process used to create these new billet stators is really revolutionary. We CAD/CAM design the individual blades, and then create a stator based off the physical space requirements. Next, we four-axis machine the parts out of one solid chunk of steel or aluminum. During testing, we rely heavily on our Racepak data acquisition system to find out exactly how to apply the power to the tires.
"When you're making converter changes, you need to understand that every time you change something in the converter, you're making a dynamic change. Kind of like playing a game of Jenga, if you move one piece of the puzzle everything moves along with it. In turbo cars, we worked very hard to find a converter design that both spools the turbos quickly and efficiently transfers power to the wheels. In the past that was very difficult, but with data acquisition and CAD/CAM technology we have been able to create completely different stator designs very quickly to get the best of both worlds. With the Racepak data logging system, we can measure wheel speed, driveshaft speed, g's at launch, and the average g's throughout the run to see how changes to the converter improves performance at the track. Truthfully, we'd be in the dark without data acquisition systems that chart our progress at the track."
Stall Speed
Stanley Poff: "The stall speed of a torque converter plays an important role in overall vehicle performance. Stall speed is determined by the amount of flash rpm the converter is allowed to reach before the vehicle starts to move. Different torque converter cores, stator combinations, and pump fin angles can allow for different stall ranges in a torque converter. It is possible to reach the same stall-speed in a torque converter with different stators and pump/fin combinations, and one of the combinations may yield a better torque multiplication ratio than the others. The optimum stall speed and torque multiplication of a converter is achieved with R&D time on a dynamometer. TCI has an in-house dynamometer that uses a 900hp engine. This dyno was built specifically to test torque converter stall speeds without using a transmission. TCI can map different torque converters with different stall speeds and achieve a unit that will deliver the best stall speed and torque multiplication ratio.
"There are dozens of variables involved in selecting the correct stall speed for an application. First, we ask the customer a series of questions to determine what the vehicle will be used for. Is the car a grocery getter, a street machine, or a weekend warrior? Will it be a heavy cruiser or a lightweight all-out race application? Next, we examine the engine combo by asking for things like the duration of the camshaft and the type of induction system they're running to determine what type of horsepower we are dealing with. We're actually trying to dyno the engine in our heads with the specs we gather, so the customer being truthful when relaying those specs ensures a closer fit in stall speed and an optimum torque converter. Obviously, a converter will flash stall more in a heavy car than it will in a light car. Likewise, a converter will normally stall higher in a big-block application than it will in a small-block application, unless a power-adder is used on the small-block. A higher-rpm engine normally has to use a much higher stall speed than a low-rpm torque engine."

Sometimes, you just want to knit. You don't feel like worrying about gauge (or tension). These project are for you. While each project has a recommended gauge, the fact is no one s going to know or care that yours doesn't quite match. No swatching and changing needles sizes to get it just write. Just use the recommended needles and yarn weight and cast on!
5 Knitting Projects that are Not Picky About Gauge
Master Plan for Frugal Knitting
Sometime during the past 20 years, the idea that you can save money by knitting your own sweaters and sewing your own clothes has been replaced with the concept of handcrafts as a luxury pursuit. It's sad really.
Don't get me wrong, I adore the merino and cashmere yarn of today, but a knitting obsession can easily get out of hand. One look at my stash will tell you that.
The good news is, if you're just getting started knitting, you're in the perfect position to buy your supplies and build your yarn stash economically.
I firmly believe the quality of your materials should match the time and effort you're putting in. But you shouldn't have to go broke for that to happen. Here are the basics of what you need and how to get it as cheaply as possible, without settling for acrylic yarn and plastic needles.

The Pollution Monitoring Laboratory of Delhi non-profit Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) tested samples of eight brands of energy drinks. The aim was to check the standards energy drinks were following. The results showed that the caffeine levels in most brands exceeded 145 ppm. Only two brands—XXX Rejuve and XXX Nicofix— stuck to the 145 ppm limit (See 'Energy drinks report card').
XXX Minus and Cloud 9 flouted labelling rules. The former did not mention the caffeine levels and the latter did not mention that it had caffeine. The tests showed they had 153.30 ppm and 142.25 ppm caffeine, respectively. The warning that lactating mothers should not consume energy drinks is missing from Cloud 9, Burn and XXX Minus labels. The label on XXX Minus was not legible.
Though caffeine levels in Tzinga and Red Bull vary, both claim to have caffeine content equivalent to that in an average cup of coffee—80 mg (320 ppm) in a 250 ml can. This is misleading because hot coffee is sipped slowly unlike energy drinks, which are taken cold and in larger quantities. "High levels of caffeine taken in a short period will have greater effect than drinking the same volume over a longer period. The body has more time to metabolise caffeine if it is consumed slowly," says Amelia Arria, professor at the School of Public Health at Maryland University, US. Her study on the risks of energy drinks was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in January.

How did you design your kitchen?
Soon I will have a new house and a bigger kitchen (might have to change my screen name). As I consider my preferences for the color and design, I wonder how you chose your kitchen blueprint. There are so many options that I like I'm not sure how to pick one that I can live with for a while.

Hot but not oppressive today
August 2, 2011 - 04:33 AM
Text size Decrease Increase
After a record 100 degrees yesterday, a little less heat and humidity is on tap for today…
Today: Lots of Sunshine, Hot w/ Humidity in Check
Highs: 92°-96° | Wind: SW 5-10
Overnight: Partly Cloudy, Mild
Lows: 70s | Wind: SW 3-8
Tomorrow: Mix Clouds and Sun, Scattered Storms
Highs: Low 90s | Wind: West 5-10
Winds shift out of the northwest today providing a little relief from the high heat. Temperatures in the low to mid 90s, still hot, but with lower humidity will make for a nice afternoon. Tomorrow brings another frontal boundary the chance for much needed scattered thundershowers. This will set the stage for a comfortable end to the week with highs near 90 and comfortable levels of humidity. Have a great day.

One element of exercising due diligence is ensuring the environment in which we provide our ministry is safe. In addition to being safe, we want all people to feel welcome. The means by which we achieve a safe and welcoming space is determined not only by internal factors but also by external pressures such as legislation. The challenge is in being aware of and meeting the requirements of the external pressures.
"Environment" includes not only the physical space but also the people who deliver the services. Health and safety policies and screening practices are only two ways of developing a safe environment. The atmosphere created by individuals as they interact with one another is another element of the environment. The following section looks at various aspects of creating the safe environment—the "caring community."
Looking to develop or enhance your own program for due diligence and screening? Need resources to assist in the process? In addition to the United Church resources listed here, check out Plan to Protect® from Winning Kids Inc.
Are you
The Camp Safety DVD and accompanying information booklet [PDF: 24 pp/184 KB] is a starting point for understanding and managing the safety issues, and includes links for more detailed information. The Camp Safety DVD (including information booklet) is also available to order from UCRDstore.
The three short videos on the DVD are available on YouTube. Click on the We Are Camp playlist for all three: General Safety, Waterfront, and Emergency Search. The information booklet provides more information and links to other resources.
If you are involved in programs that involve waterfront, especially boating, the Canadian Safe Boating Council's Smartboater website may be valuable. This site includes free downloadable educational videos and other resources.
All ministries in Ontario have an obligation to meet the requirements of the new Accessible Customer Service Standards, and the January 1, 2012, deadline will be here before we know it.
In the spring of 2010, staff representatives from Hamilton, London, and Toronto Conferences met to collectively develop a resource that can be used by their presbyteries to assist ministries in meeting their obligations. This resource is available on the Hamilton Conference and Toronto Conference websites:
Conferences in Ontario are welcome to adapt the resource for their own Conference. Conferences outside Ontario may find the resource useful as we strive to be a welcoming church to everyone.
Check out AccessON for stories, videos, and tips on how to provide services to individuals with disabilities. A number of tools are available to help you meet the compliance requirements, including online training resources.
In April 2005, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act was passed into law. Unlike previous versions, this Act has implications for those who fail to meet the various standards that were to be developed and implemented. The first of these standards, Customer Service, has been passed with a compliance deadline of January 1, 2012, for service providers.
Most of our congregations and many of our other ministries will be required to do the following:
Accessibility and the Church [RTF: 2 pp/108 KB]explains the Customer Service standards in more detail and suggests where to find more information (updated December 2010).
Social networking is more than a communications tool. It is a way for people, particularly young people, to hang out together, an extension of their social lives and places of self-expression. It is an alternative form of community. As such, it poses some of the same risks that a physical community may present.
Those in leadership roles who use social media tools as a means of enhancing communication, sharing faith, and deepening relationships need to be cognizant of the power of this medium and the accompanying risks. It is important to continue to employ the rules regarding relationships, boundaries, and ministry practices to ensure a safe environment is created for all. These guidelines [PDF: 2 pp/85 KB] are provided to assist church leaders when they use this growing community.

ground-based optical and radio telescopes may yield better maps of the location of dark matter.
Dark matter will also be mapped in the coming decade by x-ray emission from hot gas. Very hot gas has been detected inside large clusters of galaxies extending 5 million to 10 million light-years out from the center of many clusters. So hot that it should boil away, the gas is evidently held by the gravity of invisible matter. From the precise distribution of the gas, astronomers can work back to infer the gravity confining it and the distribution of dark matter producing that gravity. In the coming decade, the German X-ray Roentgen Satellite (ROSAT) already in orbit, the Japanese x-ray satellite ASTRO-D, and especially NASA's AXAF telescope will make better maps of the distribution and temperature of the hot gas in galaxy clusters.
The identification of dark matter may be a process of elimination. For example, the dark matter could be large planets, with masses between a thousandth and a tenth the mass of our sun. Such objects should have enough heat generated by their slow contraction to emit a low intensity of infrared radiation. A highly sensitive infrared telescope like SIRTF may be able to detect them. In particular, SIRTF will scrutinize the far reaches of our own galaxy, where dark matter may be lurking, and search for a faint excess glow.
There are other ways to probe dark matter. One of the most recent and potentially very important new techniques makes use of the " gravitational lens" phenomenon. When he published his new theory of gravity, Einstein pointed out that light, like matter, should be affected by gravity. Thus as light from a distant astronomical object, such as a quasar, travels toward the earth, that light should be deflected by any mass lying between here and there. The intervening mass can act as a lens, distorting and splitting the image of the quasar. Even if the intervening mass is totally invisible, its gravitational effects are not. By carefully analyzing the distortions of quasar images, astronomers can reconstruct many of the properties of the intervening gravitational lens, including its distribution in space and total mass. Gravitational lenses were first discovered only a decade ago; about a dozen have been found since that time. In the coming decade, the gravitational-lens phenomenon will be used as a powerful tool to uncover the nature of dark matter.
Alternatively, dark matter could consist of individual, freely roaming sub-atomic particles, rather than aggregates of particles such as planets. The possibilities have stirred the imaginations of particle theorists. Dozens of particles have been proposed, some on the basis of new theories of subatomic physics. None, however, have as yet been seen in the laboratory. If dark matter does indeed consist of these exotic particles, then it may be identified in the laboratory rather than at the telescope. Within the last few years, the first laboratory detectors have been built to search for some of these hypothesized particles. The experiments are extremely difficult, owing to the elusiveness of

(May 19, 2010)--Ten UTSA College of Business faculty members were honored for excellence in the areas of teaching, research and service at the College Awards Reception April 29.
Palani-Rajan Kadapakkam, a professor of finance and U.S. Global Investors Inc. Fellow, received the E. Lou Curry Teaching Excellence Award. The college's premier teaching award, the E. Lou Curry Award is presented in memory of Lou Curry, a respected faculty member who died in 1995.

He has been instrumental in spearheading the redesign of the finance undergraduate curriculum, and he consistently receives high student evaluations.
Allen Zhang, assistant professor of marketing, received the Dean's Teaching Excellence Award for Tenure-Track Faculty. Zhang's classes are both rigorous and innovative, and he frequently brings in actual business scenarios for the students to address and research. He works to improve his craft and has sought advice from his more senior colleagues to improve his teaching.
The Dean's Teaching Excellence Award for Non-Tenure-Track Faculty was presented to Ermine Orta, lecturer in management science and statistics. Orta also is the recipient of the university's award for core curriculum teaching excellence. A graduate of the college's statistics program, she is extremely knowledgeable in the subject area and shares her love of statistics with her students.
In the area of research excellence, John Wald, associate professor of finance, was named the Col. Jean Piccione and Lt. Col. Philip Piccione Endowed Research Award recipient.

In 2009, he had papers accepted in the Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Law and Economics and Journal of Empirical Finance.
Ashok Lalwani, assistant professor of marketing, received the Dean's Research Excellence Award for Tenure-Track Faculty. Since coming to UTSA in 2006, his research has been recognized for both its high quality as well as its prolific nature. In 2009, he published three journal articles in top-tier marketing journals. His research in consumer behavior examines the role of cultural values in consumers' beliefs as well as biases in price perception.
Recognizing a career of service to UTSA, Keith Fairchild, associate professor of finance, received the Patrick J. Clynes Service Award. Fairchild always is ready to serve the needs of students and the university. He has conducted assessments for SACS accreditation, organized catalog changes and directs the college's M.B.A. program. He has served as a member of the scholarship committee and the faculty awards committee.
Daniel Tablada, lecturer II in marketing, was named the recipient of the Dean's Excellence Award for University Service for Non-Tenure-Track Faculty. Tablada also was the recipient of the university's award for university service. With more than 25 years of industry experience, he is a leading force in engaging business students in international programs. He pioneered the first business course taught in Spanish and coordinates the college's Bilingual Business Certificate program.
Pamela Smith, associate professor of accounting, received the Dean's Excellence Award for Community Service. Smith uses her knowledge of accounting and nonprofit management to the advantage of the community. She has been a member and president of the finance council at her church, and for the last six years has been a member of the Archdiocese of San Antonio Finance Council. She is an active member of the Junior League of San Antonio and professionally has been involved with the Ph.D. Project.
Highlighting the strategic importance of international issues, the college established the Dean's Excellence Award for Advancing Globalization. This year's recipient is Hamid Beladi, professor of economics and IBC Bank Senior Faculty Fellow. Beladi is a renowned researcher in international economics and a worldwide leader in the field of international economics. He is the editor of three economics journals and is the co-founder of the International Economics and Finance Society.
Finally, Jan Clark, professor of information systems, received the college's Endowed 1969 Commemorative Faculty Award for Overall Faculty Excellence. The award honors a faculty member for her or his accomplishments in teaching, research and service. Clark teaches at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. Most recently, she has been instrumental in leading the college's Ph.D. program in information technology. She has an exemplary publication record with numerous articles in leading journals. She also is committed to serving the university, college and her department. She has been the Ph.D. advisor since 2005, has served as a principal investigator for successful Department of Defense grants and will lead the college's new immersion program to Morocco this summer.

BiologicsMD, please contact:
BiologicsMD, Inc.
BiologicsMD is an early stage therapeutic development company focused on developing highly-targeted or 'smart' therapies for the treatment of severe bone disorders and hair loss related diseases and conditions. The company is developing a series of recombinant fusion proteins that provide powerful osteogenic and anabolic effects directly to the target receptors at the point of disease – and do so with sustained therapeutic exposure in either a single dose or very infrequent dosing regimens. The company is working on formulation and delivery vehicles that can accommodate parenteral, local, and topical administration.
Technology and Therapeutic Focus
BiologicsMD's core technology consists of the manufacturing and development of recombinant fusion proteins. The first protein, PTH-CBD™, is the fusion of the active domain of parathyroid hormone (amino acids 1-33) coupled to a collagen binding domain derived from ColH collagenase. The collagen binding domain (CBD) causes the protein to accumulate in bone tissue. In the bone, the PTH (1-33) domain activates the PTH/PTHrP receptor and increases bone formation.
PTH-CBD™ is being developed for the treatment of severe bone disorders with acute fracture repair as the initial target indication.
BiologicsMD has a second compound and program that is focused on the prevention of hair loss and restoration of hair that results from various forms of alopecia.

Kasserine — A large raid led, on Thursday evening, by an anti-terrorist brigade, specially sent from Tunis in reinforcement to the security units already on the spot allowed to arrest three suspects.
The latter would be involved in the attack of the home of Interior Minister Lotfi Ben Jeddou, according to a security source in the region.
The same source said to TAP news agency correspondent in the region that the suspects were transferred to Tunis for investigations.
The combing campaign and raids concerned several districts and arteries of Kasserine and the neighbouring zones.
Reinforcement flocked from several regions. Representative of the civil society denounced the scourge of terrorism in the region, voicing their solidarity with the national security staff, after the terrorist attack of Tuesday evening in Kasserine against the home of Interior Minister Lofti Ben Jeddou. Four policemen were killed.
The representatives of the civil society requested, by a statement, the immediate start of an investigation in co-ordination with the civil society "to avoid the previous errors," the establishment of global strategy likely to face terrorism and the creation of a crisis cell in co-ordination with several ministries with the participation of the civil society to ensure the follow-up of the situation in Kasserine.
This statement was signed by officials and representatives of 15 associations and organisations in the governorate of Kasserine.

Australia flooded with cheap Android tablets again
blog Some of you may remember about 18 months to two years ago it seemed like every manufacturer and their dog was determined to sell Australians their version of an Android tablet. ASUS, Acer, LG, Samsung and others launched so many 10″ tablets into the Australian market that at times it felt like a veritable flood.
Inevitably the flood ceased for a period, as consumers realised that the tablets were half-baked and weren't as well-developed as Apple's ubiquitous iPad. And so the flood ceased, at least temporarily, with most of the Android manufacturers going back to the drawing board. The tablets that were in Australia mostly saw dramatic price cuts and gradually went out of inventory.
Well, after that hiatus, this past couple of weeks the flood appears to have begun again — but in a smaller form factor, following the success of Google's Nexus 7. Perhaps the most high-profile device to be flagged for imminent local launch is HP's Slate 7 (pictured above), which CRN tells us will sell locally for $199, but there's also ASUS's MeMO Pad, also a 7″ device in a very similar form factor to the Nexus 7 (no big surprise, given that ASUS built the Nexus 7 for Google), and this afternoon Kogan joined the Android love-in with 8″ and 10″ tablet models starting at just $119.
We're sure there are a few other 7″ Android tablet launches out there which we haven't laid our eyes on, but frankly, we're finding it hard to really care that much at this point, given the sheer amount of similar devices launching in Australia at the moment.
Now, we'd be the first to admit that Google finally cracked the Android tablet formula with its Nexus 7 device, and the Nexus 10 is also pretty damn solid. But isn't it a bit silly for all of these other manufacturers to jump in on the bandwagon with their own devices? I mean, how much market is there really for 7″ Android tablets, and how much profit is there to be made on such units? It all feels a bit too much like following the crowd for this writer's tastes, especially when you already have two units as solid as the Nexus 7 and iPad mini available.
What are your thoughts? Interested in buying one of the new flock of incoming smaller Android tablets? Or is it all a bit meh?

Well, if you really are interested in a 7″ Android tablet, you're in the right place! Will be hard to say long term how they go, but this sort of flood the market approach and see what sticks does seem to work! At least what sticks is generally the right stuff.
I say enjoy it!
I've got a $160 chinese 7′ android tablet and I like it. Battery lasts all day, it has very nice IPS screen and has impressive performance. I don't really like android all that much though.
I'll prolly buy the hp slate 7″ for myself but only cause I work for hp and will prolly get a great epp deal on it. On the other hand I might just save up for an iPad mini to go with all existing apple kit in our house.
hrm I think I can get something like that from HP as well through work, might be worth checking out.
The same rhetoric applied to, say, the veritable flood of laptops and ultrabooks…?
pretty much.
im not up on whats good in tablet space as opposed to desktop chips and GPUs
the Kogan efforts only are 10×7 for resolution.
but these caught my eye:
Dual-core ARM Cortex A9 1.6GHz
Quad-core Mali400
where do those sit vs the n7? the Nexus 1280×800(i think) is going to win on screen clarity. the cpu is 1.2? so the kogan A9 is probably slightly faster? and i have NFI about the Mali vs the Tegra.
asides from that its only $20 more for double the GB, which is a smaller delta than the Nexus. the HDMI out and expandable memory are both items the N7 dont have and in a sense you can improve the screen res and storage that way. those two items actually diffrentiate from the N7 in a substantial sense so i think even if there will be a glut, its a pretty good effort from Kogan – tho id wait to see what else comes out of HP – i think they have several tabs coming this year besides the ones already announced.
that should be kogan 10″
i got a kindle fire HD and rooted it the day it arrived :) now im patiently waiting for CM10.1 which is slowly being developed
Great post, a good thing to note is that by going with the bigger companies you're going to get software support and upgrades to your OS. I am not entirely sure if companies like Kogan are offering such support. Personally, I doubt it.
After comparing all the specs & prices of the more popular big name brands I chose the cheaper 7″ Ainol Flame some 8 months back. Similar, or more features than most & mine still performs flawlessly.

The resort has just 11 individual villas ranging from one-bedroom suites to three-bedroom casonas (larger casas), each set off semi-privately along flagstone-paved paths overhung by trees and flora, most of them with direct ocean views and their own private plunge pools.
The buildings are constructed from local pink sandstone with an eye toward Aztec architecture, and incorporate elements like rough-hewn wooden desks and tables that call to mind the driftwood that washes up on the beach below. Linens on the king-size beds are a simple white-on-white, and rooms also contain indoor daybeds that can be converted into sleeping beds. The enormous bathrooms are bookended by windows overlooking the surrounding jungle, with deep soaking tubs, dual vanities across from one another adorned with orchid plants, separate walk-in showers with local jojoba bath products, and a WC. Each also has its own private sun terrace with a king-size daybed and a small sundeck with two lounge chairs. Most have private infinity-edge oversize plunge pools as well.
What To Do?
The short answer is: nothing.
Though there's free high-speed WiFi and satellite TV, the point of Imanta is to disconnect and relax, and they make it easy.
Guests who need something to do can choose from a variety of activities during the day, from jungle hikes, eco-treks, horseback riding and ziplining to surfing, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and golfing at a nearby Greg Norman championship golf course, plus private yoga classes and spa treatments. All are a la carte, though the non-motorized water activities are free down at the private beach. The surf here is strong, though, so many guests just grab one of the large canopied daybeds and spend the day lazing in the shade. There is also a small dining palapa here where the resort serves a small lunch menu including ceviche made from local seafood, salads and sandwiches.
La Cocina
Guests take their breakfast at Tukipa, the main building, and in the evenings, they tend to congregate back here, but up at the top of the building's Observatory tower for specialty cucumber margaritas while watching the sunset before going back downstairs to have dinner on the outdoor dining deck overlooking the ocean and hillsides or in the small indoor dining room. The chef prepares a daily changing menu of items prepared from locally sourced organic produce and fresh-caught fish. It can get a bit overcomplicated, so your best bet is to ask for a piece of fresh fish simply grilled and the vegetables of the day. The chef is also available to cook privately for guests in the two large casonas.
The entire Imanta experience is one of unhurried luxury, where someone is always on hand to fulfill a request. Since it opened two years ago, it's already become a celebrity favorite with visiting Hollywood A-listers, and yet somehow it's managed to remain under the radar, so don't worry about it getting overrun just yet.
Cautionary Note: Though the semi-paved pathways that snake between buildings and down to the beach are part of the resort's charm, guests with mobility concerns might have some issues that can be resolved by reserving a casona closer to the main building.
Rates in November-December start at $800 a night for Jungle Casas.
Disclosure: Eric Rosen was a guest of Imanta, but all opinions expressed are entirely his own.

I have lived in Santa Cruz since 1991 and graduated from Harbor High School.
Prior to finding my true calling in real estate I worked in construction specializing in residential renovations. I did this for 8 years and during that time I gained a great insight into homes and their inherit problems.
In 2005 I moved to the Bay Area and obtained my real estate license. This was a natural fit for me due to my experience in contracting and the fact that I had been raised in Real Estate by my mother, Mary Margaretich who was always a top producing agent in Santa Cruz.
Almost immediately I became a top agent. In 2009 I decided to help create the new company "Fohl and McClellan Real Estate." It was a perfect blend of experience and expertise with innovation and technology, which is exactly what is needed in today's market.
Having grown up in Santa Cruz and Aptos, I have always felt that this area is home. In 2011 I was compelled to go back to my roots and move back to Santa Cruz.
After meeting with Chris Trapani and Ryan Iwanaga, hearing their vision and experiencing their culture, I knew this was the only place I could work. I immediately joined their team.
When I'm not working on real estate I almost always have to be outdoors. On my off time you will find me Boating, Wakeboarding, Dirt biking, Camping, Four wheeling, or snowboarding. I have a passion for life and want that to always come out whether its work or play.

Tacoma Rainiers / PCL HEADLINES
Opening day of Tacoma Rainiers baseball came one day later than scheduled. But it came all the same Friday, with the return of Rhubarb the reindeer, fireworks and the whole Cheney Stadium experience.
Jesus Montero's star-crossed world was denied a happy moment Thursday night. He was supposed to be introduced at Cheney Stadium as the Tacoma Rainiers' cleanup hitter, and fans would have clapped their hands because that's how baseball fans act on opening night.
Dark clouds not blue skies welcomed the new and returning members of the Tacoma Rainiers on Thursday.
As recently as last spring, it was intriguing to envision a pair of former first-round draft picks forming the Seattle Mariners double-play combination for, oh, the next decade or so.
It was a three-hour drive down winding U.S. Route 101 for Roy Howells family. They were coming from his hometown of Lompoc, Calif., and heading to Anaheim where Howell would make his big league debut Sept. 9, 1974.
A position-by-position breakdown of the Tacoma Rainiers opening day 2014 roster.
Thursday is opening day for the Tacoma Rainiers, who kick off the season with a four-game set against the Simpsons-inspired Albuquerque Isotopes. The News Tribune recently chatted with team President Aaron Artman about the upcoming season and what fans can expect when they visit Cheney Stadium this year.
The Mariners dipped into their farm system Wednesday to find a new manager for Triple-A Tacoma by promoting Roy Howell to fill the vacancy created when Rich Donnelly joined the big-league staff.
The close-knit family of people behind minor league baseball in Tacoma gathered at Cheney Stadium on Saturday to say farewell to one of their own.
A memorial service will be held this weekend for Ronald Zollo, the longest-tenured employee in the history of Tacoma minor-league baseball, who died Dec. 31.
The Mariners went outside their organization Wednesday in selecting a baseball lifer in Rich Donnelly to serve as the new manager for the Rainiers.
The Tacoma Rainiers are now officially playing out the string. Andy Marte homered, and Tommy Field added a solo shot of his own to lift Salt Lake to an 8-4 Pacific Coast League victory over the Rainiers on Thursday at Cheney Stadium.
The Tacoma Rainiers still have a chance of making the playoffs. Its just an exceptionally improbable one. Thats because the Rainiers 8-6 loss in a 13-inning bout against Pacific Coast League northern division-leader Salt Lake on Wednesday puts Tacoma four games back of the Bees with five games left.
Mike Wilson went 4-for-5 with five runs batted in for Tucson on Friday, leading the Padres to a 13-6 win over the Tacoma Rainiers.
The Rainiers blew a five-run lead Thursday, when the Tucson Padres rallied to score eight runs in the fifth inning and hold on to beat Tacoma, 9-6.

Paris Arc De Triomphe Crystal Landmark
The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Paris that stands in the centre of the Place de Etoile. It is the linchpin of the historic axis leading from the courtyard of the Louvre Palace, a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route leading out of Paris. It is the second largest triumphal arch in existence. It was commissioned in 1806 after the victory at Austerlitz by Napoleon Bonaparte at the peak of his fortunes and finally completed after a long pause during the Restoration in the reign of King Louis Philippe, in 1833-36. The sculpture representing Peace was now interpreted as commemorating the Peace of 1815 not the original intention. These beautiful 24K Arc De Triomphe gifts measure 3 x 2.5 x 2 inches.J63S
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. The Palace is a setting for state occasions and royal entertaining, a base for all officially visiting Heads of State, and a major tourist attraction. It has been a rallying point for British people at times of national rejoicing, national crisis and national grief. The palace, originally known as Buckingham House was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and acquired by King George III in 1762 as a private residence. Buckingham Palace became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. These beautiful 24K Buckingham Palace crystal landmark gifts measure 3 x 2.5 x 2 inches.J53S
Cologne Cathedral Home Decor Gifts
The Cologne Cathedral is one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany and has been Cologne's most famous landmark since its completion in the late 19th century. The cathedral is under the administration of the Roman Catholic Church and is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne. From 1880, when its spires were completed, it was the world's tallest structure. Cologne Cathedral remains the second-tallest Gothic structure in the world. Construction of the gothic church began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, more than 600 years to complete - it was finally finished in 1880. The cathedral is dedicated to Saints Peter and Mary. These beautiful crystal Cologne Cathedral gifts are 3 x 2.5 x 2 inches.J74S
St Mark's Square Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco, often known in English as St Mark's Square, is the principal square of Venice. It is the only urban space called a piazza in Venice; the others, regardless of size, are called campi. The Piazza originated in the 9th century as a small area in front of the original Saint Mark's Basilica. It was enlarged to its present size and shape in 1177, when the Rio Batario, which had bounded it to the west, and a dock, which had isolated the Doge's Palace from the square, were filled in. The Piazza has always been seen as the center of Venice. It is also the focus for many of Venice's festivals. It is a greatly popular place in Italy even today.

Windmills have been around for at least 1,300 years. The earliest known record for a windmill in Holland is from 1274. There are approximately 1000 windmills left in Holland, only one-tenth the original number. Some windmills are kept in working order in case the electricity goes out or the country floods. Windmills need winds of 18 mph to be truly effective. In the 16th century, Dutch millwrights perfected the traditional design of the windmill sail. To this day, the design has remained unaltered.

Big Ben is one of London's best-known tourist landmarks, and looks truly spectacular at night when the clock faces are illuminated. The clock has become a symbol of the United Kingdom and London. The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock-tower itself, but to the thirteen ton bell hung within. The bell was named after the first commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall. This large stunning building is London's best attraction. These 24K crystal landmark gifts measure 3 1/2"W x 2"D x 4 1/2"H.J12B

Its construction began in the august of 1173 and finished about 200 years later. The bell tower of the Cathedral is a unique building of its kind, and known as Piazza dei Miracoli. The Tower was designed to be "vertical" (and even if it did not lean it would still be one of the most remarkable bell towers in Europe). The tower leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees and th height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground. These 24K crystal landmark gifts measure 2 1/2" Base x 4 1/4"HJ10B
The Kremlin Tower Clock Russia
The Kremlin dates back to 1147 and the very beginnings of Moscow. The original towered walls were completed in 1157, by the late 14th century, Moscow had risen enough in power and prestige to become the seat of the Russian Orthodox Church. This change brought with it the construction of some of the Kremlin's most impressive structures. Russia's mythic refuge, the Kremlin is a self-contained city with a multitude of palaces, armories, and churches. Though its name instantly sparks images of formidable walls, glistening onion domes, and cloistered rulers of eras past, the word "kremlin" simply means "fortified town."J17S

Arusha — PRESIDENT Jakaya Kikwete has officially closed the 14th session of African Ministerial Conference on the Environment here on Friday evening with a call to cut-down on global carbon emissions.
"Effects of global warming can be seen even here in Tanzania where diseases like Malaria are now being experienced in highland regions where mosquitoes were never heard of before," observed President Kikwete, explaining that the raise in temperatures in formerly cold areas should raise warnings of imminent worldwide catastrophes.
He explained that, even when other developed nations seem to be the major culprits of global carbon emissions, African countries suffer the same outcomes since the effects of global warming are spread equally across the world.
The 14th session was meant to address Africa's efforts in achieving a common negotiation position on a legal instrument or agreed outcome with legal framework under the UN climate change Convention by 2015 to be held in Doha, Qatar.
When it comes to carbon emissions the five East African Community (ECA) member states of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda together exude less than 0.1 per cent of the total global carbon dioxide emission.
Official figures indicate that the more industrialized Kenya is leading the pack by emitting an annual average of 11.2 million metric tonnes of Carbon Dioxide but even that accounts for just 0.04 per cent of the world's green-house fumes production.
Tanzania is second in East Africa with an annual 10.1 million metric tons of the green-house gases emissions, equivalent to 0.02 per cent of the total carbon dioxide productions. Uganda produces 0.01 per cent while both Rwanda and Burundi emit less than that.
According to the United Nations' Statistic Database, the entire African continent churns out just 3.6 per cent of the total global green-house gases production per year.
The world currently sends into the atmosphere over 290 billion metric tons of Carbon gases with China (at 6.5 billion metric tons) leading by 22.3 per cent followed by the United States which puffs out 5.8 billion metric tons (20 per cent) of the green-house gases.
Earlier, the Director and African Regional Representative for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Mr Mounkalia Goumandakoye, said the 14th session of AMCEN of Arusha came soon after the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development-UNCSD (Rio+20) and will therefore be of great significance in providing guidance with respect to the implementation of the key outcomes of Rio+20.

February was an incredible month, breaking in to watercolors and painting dragons. Going digital and learning and trying new stuff. It was also a month of failure. I month that I only completed 7 of my planned thirteen paintings. But I am not going to let that get me down as I explained in the post for one of my sketches.
In the end February opened up many opportunities and gives me a chance to redeem myself. A time to go back and complete somethings that I should have completed in the past. A time to break down walls and smash through blocks. I time of Spring cleaning. For that reason I am making the theme for March completion of projects that are left unfinished.
Here are links to my paintings for February

It's a great day to visit Idyllwild. The temp at 6 am today was 59, which means it'll be a glorious day in Idyllwild with temps in the low 80s.
Don't miss the Art Alliance of Idyllwild's Judged Member Show and Working Artist's Studio Tour today and tomorrow. The Member Show is at Quiet Creek Living Room Gallery in the village next to the Rustic Theater. The reception and awards will be this evening, Saturday, 7/14, 6-8 pm; the address is 54300 North Circle Drive.
The reception for ceramicist Leslie Thompson was very successful last night. The sparkling wine flowed freely and Duffy's appetizers were fabulous – we ran out of both between 6:00 and 7:00 pm. We sold about a dozen of her "final" ceramics. There are some left for those who want one of these collectible keepsake works of art. Leslie's ceramics will be on display in the gallery for the rest of this week and in to next Saturday's Art Alliance of Idyllwild's members' show (mark your calendar for this event that will be from 6-8 pm) after which her prices will go up as no more of these fine pieces will be created.
An Idyllwild Arts parent booking is vacating two of their several rooms a day early and we now, surprisingly, have two rooms available for Saturday night: a creek view queen suite for up to three guests and a creek view studio for up to two guests. Both rooms can be booked via our online reservation calendar until midnight tonight but same day bookings must call: 951-468-4208 or 800-450-1516 during normal business hours.
More than 50% of our bookings come from repeat guests and referrals from repeat guests. We are very pleased with this loyalty and have decided to change our Quiet Creek Travel Club discount from 10% off every third booking to 5% off EVERY booking (trust me… I did the math… this is a better discount for our loyal, repeat guests). Mention that you are a repeat or returning guest when asked how you heard about us and, assuming we can find your name in our system, your discount will be automatically applied – you don't even have to ask and you certainly don't have to carry around yet another affinity card like for PetCo – you have enough credit card shaped plastic in your wallet already!
Also, in honor of our active duty military we will continue to offer a 5% Active Duty Military Discount. Please ask for it when you book and bring your Military ID card with you at check-in.
All roads are clear to Idyllwild and there's still patchy snow on the ground and possibly more Sunday night. Sunny weather abounds – come on up!
Quiet Creek Inn is pleased to offer a fully furnished pied-a-terre in the heart of the village of Idyllwild behind the Quiet Creek building next to the Rustic Theatre. It's cute as can be, walkable to everything and can be booked online via our Reservation Calendar and can be seen in our Photo Gallery.
Idyllwild is covered under a blanket of snow about 6-8 inches of the fluffy stuff – more than was expected. Come on up and enjoy it. There are some rooms available at the Inn for Friday or Sunday (nothing for Saturday) and there are a few vacation rental cabins available for a two-night minimum. Check out our new online reservation system to select something. Note that there are two systems two choose from. One for the Inn and one for the Vacation Rentals.
Here's a link to Weather & Road Conditions
Get back to nature at Coyote Crest our new vacation rental in Pine Cove. Use this link for more photos and a description that includes pricing. Low season weekend pricing is only $135/night, double occupancy (two guests).
Book online.
I've just released a couple of vacation rental cabins for Christmas week and New Years (two night minimum) that had been blocked off because of winter access issues. Now that I know the weather will be clear and sunny I've made Grandview Lodge and Wildwood available.
At the inn we have three different studios and suites available for Mon, 12/26, Tues, 12/27, and Wed, 12/28. We also have several studios & suites available starting New Years Day with a one-night minimum.
Our Reservation Calendar is always up-to-date.

We just posted two excerpts from Kim Bobo's excellent new book Wage Theft in America: Why Millions of Working Americans Are Not Getting Paid—And What We Can Do About It. The shorter excerpt (previously published online by In These Times) gives background information about the concept of wage theft. The longer excerpt (advertised on our home page) is from the final chapter of the book, which gives detailed recommendations about how the U.S. Department of Labor could address wage theft.
Kim will be speaking Thursday night, Jan. 29th in Jamaica Plain (a hip neighborhood in the southwest part of Boston). Here is the event announcement from the Jamaica Plain Forum:
The Jamaica Plain Forum (click here for directions)
Kim Bobo: Wage Theft in America
Thursday, 29 January 2009—7:00pm to 9:00pm.
Why Millions of Working Americans Are Not Getting Paid-And What We Can Do About It
Kim Bobo, the co-founder of Interfaith Worker Justice discusses her new book, Wage Theft in America, about how billions of dollars worth of wages are stolen from millions of workers.
Each year, billions of dollars' worth of wages are stolen from millions of workers, a grand theft that exceeds every other larceny category on record annually. In today's dwindling economy this crime affects more Americans than ever before. In her new book, author and community organizer Kim Bobo offers an incisive information for activists, workers, and concerned citizens on how to prevent flagrant exploitation of America's working people, including a sweeping analysis of the crisis, hard-hitting statistics, and heart-breaking first-person accounts.
We hope to see some Boston-area D&S subscribers and blog readers there. There will be a D&S table where you can meet John Miller, D&S columnist ("Up Against the Wall Street Journal") and James McBride, stalwart collective member (and both are JP residents). You'll also be able to purchase D&S books and copies of the brand-spanking-new January/February 2009 issue of the magazine, complete with a snazzy redesign.

Rhode Island Democrats should look to Massachusetts for some leadership on the economy. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay explains why.
Rhode Island is once again ensnared in a noisy political campaign season. The stench of government corruption has led to new leadership on Smith Hill. Gordon Fox is out as speaker and Nick Mattiello is in. Democrats control both chambers of the General Assembly by big margins. Yet the historic majority party can't seem to speak with a coherent voice on our state's struggling economy.

Help with coil on custom
Hey there guys. I'm about to string up a custom in my Evolyte. I plan on doing something I haven't seen before, but keep it simple. However, I can't find a tutorial for the top coil (Like on Heat). I checked on here, and the pictures are no longer available. If someone could tell me, or link some pictures/video that would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you could give me some tips to help out with a custom.Live life to the fullest, play Lacrosse.Grow the game and share the love. PM me for stringing or other questions.
Re: Help with coil on custom
since no one else will help, i guess that leaves me.
the heat coil is going to be different then some of the easier coils. for an easy coil, you interlock around where the leather attaches to the scoop, make sure you interlock on the front side and go through the loop. then you wrap the string in a tight coil from both sides until they meet in the middle, then you coil from the center to the outside. once you get all the way to the outside, bring the string down and interlock to the leather a few inches down so that it stays.
so coil to the center, coil from the center out, then interlock. if youre still confused, PM me and i'll try to get some pictures together to try to explain it to you better.around +50/0 LOOKING FOR ACCELERATORS

I have no answer. I'm going to ask the question, anyway.
If the forces that oppose the Rock Cats' move to Hartford in what has become a daily food fight are able to kill the $60 million stadium deal, will it enhance or diminish the chances of getting a new XL Center?
Like I said, I don't know the answer. The question still needs to be asked.

When Geno Auriemma took over as an afternoon host on WTIC radio the other day, he was candid about the state of the XL Center, especially the floor level. It's bad. In some areas, it is beyond bad. Auriemma pointed out that if you took people on a tour of the place and then told them that this is the home of dual national basketball champions, they'd be astonished.
Auriemma probably thought he was stating the obvious, but the interest his words drew is indicative of how much weight they carry in the state. Sometimes it's not just the message. Sometimes it's the messenger.
The XL Center, as currently constructed, has reached its expiration date. The $35 million in improvements for heating and cooling systems, for locker rooms to help the building to limp through a few more years, is a band-aid on a massive gash, lipstick on a pig, however you want to term it.
So as this heady Travelers Championship week begins — a stark reminder of something precious that we nearly lost — you can bank on this much: When the Capital Region Development Authority study is completed in the coming months, there will be a recommendation for either a near total makeover of the XL Center or a new arena. You're looking at a price tag between $250 million and $400 million.
We're talking up to seven times as much bonding as the $60 million on the baseball stadium. Granted, this will be a state-run operation on a city-owned building, not a city-run one. And, granted, there are many differences between the XL Center and a baseball park and their tenants.
Still, after the outrage over the secrecy of the meetings between the city and Rock Cats, after cries that the money should instead go for education or roads, after the quoted studies that stadiums/arenas do nothing for a city's economic engine, there stands one indisputable fact.
Many people don't want any public funds to go to sports venues. And if there are enough of those people, eventually they can carry the day.
So it gets back to my question. If the baseball stadium deal falls, will it enhance the chances of getting a new XL Center or diminish it? Will it be seen as a better place to spend it on or proof that resistance is contagious?
I don't know. But I sure as hell want to find out, because beyond hockey and some concerts, the XL Center houses the crown jewels of Connecticut sports, basketball jewels themselves that are threatened by changes ahead within the NCAA. If there is no real appetite to put in the hundreds of millions of dollars needed on the existing site or one just north of downtown, it would be enlightening — make that imperative — to hear systematic input from the power brokers in political office and the news media in front of the CRDA findings.
We don't need the reactive mashed potato throwing like the one we're seeing with the Rock Cats.
The hard truth is that sports venues have a tough time getting approval in a public referendum. Lots of people don't like sports and more hate what they see as an extra tax burden. Even when it doesn't come to a public referendum — the XL Center approval in all likelihood will go through the legislature — there can be overwhelming pressure on elected officials.
For example, read Kevin Rennie's recent column in The Courant about voters sending a message to those who support the baseball stadium. An opponent of the deal, Rennie, a former Republican lawmaker, all but endorses Eric Coleman against Shawn Wooden, city council leader and a stadium proponent, for the Aug. 12 state Senate Democratic primary. And you thought they play rough in the athletic world? So when the lights burn harsh on the XL Center, with huge money and huge stakes, will some legislators lose their courage under fire in their own district? What, it would never happen to UConn? It already did in 1997 when a fractured legislature voted down a stadium for a move to big-time football.
I am for baseball downtown. I've already expressed that point. And although some want to paint me as a fan boy, I have and will continue to write that the ability to pay off the annual debt has to make some sense. Tough questions on whether the financials work is something I root for.
In an op-ed piece for The Courant, Andrew Campbell, who got his master's in business administration from Worcester Poly, ran some raw numbers and came up with a $20 million shortfall on a $60 million deal. I talked at length to Rock Cats owner Josh Solomon on Friday. He is passionate that it is a good deal for both sides.
"This is a win-win," Solomon said. "And we've done a significant amount of our own due diligence."
It would do Solomon little good to beat the city's brains in on a deal and have the team fail downtown. He'd ultimately pay a price, too.
Mayor Pedro Segarra, unfortunately, emerged from secret talks to breeze over everything and called it a done deal. Well, proposals have to be considered by the planning and zoning commission and two of its own committees before being voted on by the city council. There's a public hearing on the proposals scheduled for July 21, too. Done deal is not a phrase I would use.

Businesses 'increasingly looking to greener options'
19 January 2009 — 2:25 PM
There are a number of things businesses are doing to ensure they are seen to be more environmentally-friendly.
According to a spokesman for Eurostar, the high-speed train service that links London to a host of European destinations, travel is just one field where businesses are looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Simon Montague, director of corporate communications for the group, said firms were now keen to embrace the most environmentally-responsible options possible - and this attitude is also prevalent in the public domain.
"All of us are thinking about our environmental impact whether it be using less plastic bags or thinking of smaller cars. That trend will truly continue and it is an ever growing public interest," he added.
Mr Montague's comments may inspire business professionals and the general public alike to recycle mobile phones before buying new devices - as this is one way to generate cash and limit the amount of hazardous waste that goes to landfill.
