What about Gamecube games? I have yet to find one that won't work with my Drivekey. Supposedly this is an issue with games like Rogue Squadron (audio streaming) but it play's fine. I havent tried any of the games that have soundtracks (Tony Hawks for example) which I imagine would have problems. What happens anyway? Do the games not work or does the audio not stream but otherwise the game works fine? I must have close to 30 Cube titles I've downloaded that all work 100%.
The only problems I've had is with Japanese games. They don't work at all. It's too bad because there were a lot of great old school style shooters released only in Japan I'd love to play. There must be a loader for Gamecube games I could use but Drivekey is useless for these. I am on 4.2U so they might work with older firmware.

TONDA is the display case for home-made gelato in which gelato makers across the whole world cherish and promote their art.TONDA perfectly preserves the gelato and displays it, creating a thrill. It offers ergonomics and comfort with optimum inclination and rotation of flavours towards the operator and protects the environment thanks to its choice of materials and energy savings. To give this project form and technology, the IFI R&D department has worked with a designer with refined experimental attributes:
Makio Hasuike. One of the founders of Italian graphics, Michele Provinciali (1921-2009), who captured its deepest soul with a sign that represents its essence, presented at the Milan Triennale design museum in May 2008. In 2008, TONDA received an ADI Golden Compass nomination and Innovations Europain award; in 2006 it was awarded the Confindustria Awards For Excellence and in 2002 was declared a highly innovative project by the Ministry of Economic Activities. Since 2009, TONDA has been part of the Farnesina Design Collection, established by Minister Frattini to promote artistic production in the design field in Italy. The collection, housed in Rome in the Palazzo della Farnesina, is intended to circuit several overseas locations to become the hub of events organized through a global network of embassies, consulates and cultural institutes:
Casa Italia - Winter Olympics, Vancouver
Casa Azzurri - World Cup, South Africa
Istanbul, European capital of design
Ara Pacis Museum - Rome
Museum of Holon and the Italian Embassy in Israel
Centre National d'Art Vivant Zoubeir Turki - Tunisia
Ecole Nationale d'Architecture - Rabat
TONDA is available in a single model - display case diameter 1356 mm (53,38") with a 1500 mm or 1350 mm (59,05" or 53,14") base, or a round base and in 12, 15 and 18 pan versions. The basic structure is made of tubular steel, epoxy powder painted at 356°F. The display surface moulded in AISI 304 polished stainless steel has been designed to hold 12/15/18 trapezoidal gelato pans. There are LED lights at the sides of the display case: these are highly efficient, produce minimal heat and consume little energy. The central flavours holder has been lowered so you can see the gelato and the flavour cards more clearly. The refrigeration system is ventilated and has a radial evaporator to guarantee completely uniform temperatures inside the pans.
The working temperature of the gelato display case is around 6.8°F to 0.4°F, though this can be lowered to -7.6°F for supercooling. TONDA has been tested in a climatic chamber at 95°F with 60% RH. A tropicalised version is also available: remote condenser unit tested at 109.4°F. Tonda is CE certified for Europe, ETL for
North America and GOST Standard for Russia.

Guarneri String Quartet performs Mozart, Ravel, Dvořák
Leif Ove Andsnes performs Schumann, Beethoven, MompouCelebrated pianist Leif Ove Andsnes makes a warmly anticipated return visit this week with music that reaffirms his astonishing technical and emotional powers. He begins with four short works of Robert Schumann, conjuring from each all of the rapidly mutating moods and colors they chart, and moves on to a work of even greater temperamental grandeur: Ludwig van Beethoven's Opus 110 piano sonata. In the echo of that monument, Mr. Andsnes's concluding performances of Lizst and Mompou sound all the more wondrous. (more)
A Look Back: 25 years of Saint Paul Sunday
(Photo above: Bill McGlaughlin talks with violinist Pinchas Zukerman, then Artistic Director of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, before a Saint Paul Sunday recording session in 1981.)
Launch slideshow
Each week since 1981, Saint Paul Sunday has affirmed the abiding relevance and hospitality of great classical music-making. Whether longtime fans or recent converts, listeners encounter the same spirit that launched the series very first program: intimate, one-of-a-kind performances and approachable conversation with exceptional artists about the music at hand. (more)
The career of Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes has attracted considerable interest and excitement since his international debut in the early 1990s. Described by the New York Times as "the most accomplished pianist of the new generation," the multiple Gramophone Award-winner is now firmly established as one of the most compelling artists on the world concert stage.

Daniel Sturridge grabbed a brace at the Reebok Stadium as Bolton beat West Ham 3-0 to keep the Hammers deep in relegation trouble.
Bolton's on-loan Chelsea striker scored either side of half time with superb solo efforts with Lee Chung-yong also on target.
It was just the boost the home side were looking for ahead of their FA Cup semi-final against Stoke at Wembley, although Sturridge will not play as he is cup tied.

Fazielah's top three weekend picks for August 10 to 12, 2012 in Cape Town
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
If, like me, you're the sucker who came back to work the day after a public holiday and you need inspiration for the weekend, don't worry, I've got you covered.
Join me at the following events and activities from August 10 to 12, 2012 and discover why the party never stops in Cape Town.
Suburban Menace Shake It launch at Trinity
Trinity Superclub in Green Point is known for setting the trend with hot new acts in the Mother City.
This Friday things get even hotter as local hip hop crew Suburban Menace launch their hit new video Shake It. With guest performances by the comedic Joe Barber, Baza Lo, Principlez and Ben Ceaser, this is one celebration you cannot miss!
For more information, email email@example.com.
Here's a sneak peek of the video:
Ajax Cape Town vs Supersport United
Following closely on the heels of their 1-1 draw against the Red Devils last month, Ajax Cape Town will defend their home ground against Supersport United at the Cape Town Stadium.
Book your tickets at +27 (0)861 915 8000.
Robertson Slow Festival
Take it easy this weekend at the sixth annual Robertson Slow Festival, along the scenic Route 62.
Full-bodied wine and tasty, organic foods await you!

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 3 Spoiler: Sasha Pieterse Teases "Crazy" Alison Twist!
Just when we thought several mysteries on Pretty Little Liars had been wrapped up, we find out that one of the most important characters, if not the most important, Alison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse), has something in store for Season 3 that will surprise all of us.
When Zap2It asked Sasha what we can expect from Ali in the upcoming season, she said, "Alison likes to manipulate everyone. There's something the fans don't know about a certain situation that ties back to Alison, and the way it all ties together is kind of crazy."
Ali may not get a huge amount of screen time on PLL, but every second she appears is full of mystery and intrigue. We're wondering what this "certain situation" is that the fans don't know about. Could it be Ali's twin? Could Ali still be alive, and manipulating Mona (Janel Parrish)? What if Vivian Darkbloom is the Black Swan?
With Season 3, anything is possible.
Catch an all-new Pretty Little Liars when Season 3 premieres on Tuesday, June 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Speck's Fitted case does a great job of providing substantial protection for your iPad while still delivering plenty of style. The fit is excellent, with the cutouts providing full access to all buttons and ports, including the docking port (although it does not allow the use of an actual dock). The lack of an included screen protector detracts somewhat from its value, however not everybody uses one (including me) and their value is debatable. If you're looking for a way to protect your iPad while still expressing your individuality, the Fitted case may be just what you need.
Pro: Fabric-wrapped cover provides a great deal of style. Rubberized 2-piece hardcase provides good protection, is easy to grip, and fits your iPad perfectly. All buttons and ports are fully accessible. Rigid design protects from bumps, scratches, and scrapes, and may provide some protection from drops.
Con: You must remove your iPad from the case to place it in a dock. Does not come with a screen protector.
Price: $49.99

JEDDAH/AMMAN: Deadly explosions struck a Damascus district housing members of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's Alawite sect and gunmen killed the brother of the speaker of parliament, as violence escalated in the capital.
Britain suggested offering Assad immunity from prosecution as a way of persuading him to leave power. The opposition said at least 100 more people were killed in the 19-month old revolt.
"Anything, anything, to get that man out of the country and to have a safe transition in Syria," British Prime Minister David Cameron told Al Arabiya news network in Abu Dhabi before flying to Saudi Arabia.
Syrian state media said at least 10 people were killed and 30 wounded by a deadly explosion in the Hai al-Wuroud district in the northwest of the capital.
The hilltop neighbourhood is situated near a barracks and housing for elite army units, and is home to members of Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam. Syria's rebellion in is drawn mainly from the Sunni Muslim majority.
Opposition activists said three explosions were heard in Hai al-Wuroud and at least 15 people killed. A car bomb also exploded near a shopping mall in the mixed neighbourhood of Ibn al-Nafis, killing and injuring several people, they said.
Officials and their families are increasingly being targeted by assassins as violence spreads in the capital. Victims have included parliamentarians, ruling Baath party officials, and even actors and doctors seen as Assad supporters.
State television said gunmen had assassinated Mohammed Osama al-Laham, brother of the speaker of parliament, in Damascus's Midan district. No group claimed immediate responsibility.
Peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi warned that Syria, where some 32,000 people have died in 19 months of violence, could end up a collapsed state like Somalia, prey to warlords and militias.
Opposition factions were meeting in Qatar in an effort to forge a common front. The opposition has remained divided between Islamists and secularists; civilians and armed fighters; and exiles and those working inside the country.
More than 100 people were killed across the country on Tuesday, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a pro-opposition body based in Britain that compiles activist reports.
Air strikes killed 17 people, including women and children, in the Damascus suburb of Kfar Batna, it said. Video footage of the raid's aftermath posted on the Internet, which could not be verified, showed a toddler with a severed head and the torso of a young man, his head and limbs gathered near him by rescuers.
Insurgents killed 12 soldiers and wounded 20 in an attack on a convoy of off-road vehicles in the northern province of Idlib.
Air strikes and artillery barrages unleashed by the Syrian military in the last few weeks have devastated whole districts of the capital, as well as parts of towns and cities elsewhere.
Yet, for all their firepower, Assad's forces seem no closer to crushing their lightly armed opponents, who in turn have so far proved unable to topple the Syrian leader.
"Of course I would favour him facing the full force of international law and justice for what he's done," Cameron said of Assad. "I am certainly not offering him an exit plan to Britain. But if he wants to leave he could leave, that could be arranged."
It was unclear if Cameron had spoken to other U.N. Security Council members about the idea - which could involve offering Assad immunity from prosecution if he accepted asylum in a third country. Nor was it clear what nation would take him.
The U.N. human rights office has said Syrian officials suspected of committing or ordering crimes against humanity should face prosecution at the International Criminal Court. U.N. investigators have been gathering evidence of atrocities committed by rebels as well as by Assad loyalists.
The United Nations has put Syria's government on a "list of shame" of countries that abuse children, saying Assad loyalists have killed, maimed, tortured and detained children as young as nine. Leila Zerrougui, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, told Reuters on Tuesday the body was also investigating the opposition.
"We have received information that the opposition also violates children by using them in bombings, and by bombing areas where there are children," she said.
Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, told the London-based al-Hayat newspaper he did not expect ethnic or sectarian partition there. "What I am afraid of is worse ... the collapse of the state and that Syria turns into a new Somalia."
Russia and China have blocked three Western-backed U.N. Security Council draft resolutions against Assad. At the United Nations, diplomats cited a senior U.N. official as telling the Security Council that Brahimi had urged Russia to be "more pro-active" in resolving the Syrian crisis.
U.N. political affairs chief Jeffrey Feltman also told the closed-door meeting of the council that he had credible reports government forces used cluster bombs, the envoys said.
Human rights groups have reported in the past that Syria used cluster munitions. Such weapons, which spread bomblets that explode over an area, are banned by most countries, but Syria - like the United States, Russia and China - has not signed up to the treaty outlawing them. Rights groups view their use in areas populated by civilians to be a war crime.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged the Syrian opposition to enter talks with the authorities to end the crisis and abandon a precondition that Assad step down.
"The most important thing is stopping the violence immediately. If it is more important to the other side to change the Assad regime, then they want to continue the bloodbath in Syria," Lavrov said in Amman after meeting former Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijab, who defected to Jordan in August.
Hijab said Assad's removal was "the only way out".
Assad's foes have failed to unite, making it harder for the outside world to support or arm them.
Prominent dissident Riad Seif has proposed a new 50-member unity council, but the head of the widely criticised Syrian National Council (SNC), which is based abroad, said it should retain a "central role" in any opposition configuration.
A Doha-based diplomat said SNC members feared their group risked losing influence in the new civilian body, which would later choose an interim government and coordinate with armed rebel groups. Seif's initiative is to be debated on Thursday at the opposition meeting in Qatar.

India Accelerating Work with Bio-Methane
2 June 2007
India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing an "Accelerated Program on Energy Recovery from Urban Wastes" which provides support for setting up of projects for generation of fuel or power from urban wastes, including utilization of bio-methane available at the existing treatment plants based on anaerobic processes.
With increasing use of natural gas (methane) in Indian cities for industrial, domestic and transportation applications, the government is interested in upgrading and compressing bio-methane and feeding it into natural gas delivery systems for use as fuel.
The Ministry currently has a tender open for few full-scale demonstration projects based on the technologies commercially available worldwide for upgrading bio-methane for feeding into the Natural Gas Supply Network.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference India Accelerating Work with Bio-Methane:
There is plenty of untapped greenhouse-gass in need of burning, this is a quality answer to the difficulty. The world has green-house gasses, to burn.
They can follow the Swedes and their waste biomass to bio-methane program. Sweden is projected to be self-sufficient in CH4 by 2015. Hope India could replicate this, otherwise they will have to go through with trans Pakistan/Iran gas pipeline plans to quench their mushrooming energy needs.
The true un-tapped resource evident here is the intellectual capital being unleashed.Millions of engineeres,biologists etc are going to be graduating from Indian and Chinese universities.How do you measure their contributions in the near and far future.
I dont have a specific yardstick but I project that there will be quantum leaps in science due to a tsunami of educated and newly motivated populace.I try to see much of the technical posts here through x factor glasses taking such unseen ingredients into account.
After Germany and Sweden, India joins this Bio-Methane group. Hope other countries will join.
Now there are 3 sources in the Bio group. Bio-Ethanol, Bio-Diesel and Bio-Methane. I guess Bio-Methane can have far better potential, since it can use the existing Natural gas pipelines and LNG ships.
Also there are 6.1 million CNG powered vehicles.
South Koreans are building 70 LNG powered ships.
I saw a story about a German farmer that grew grass for a digester that makes methane.
The farmer was able to get a loan to put in the equipment, because the German government gave her a 20 price contract for the methane.
Previous post should say "20 year", but it shows what government can do to help things along and make Germany less dependent on imported NG.

Zooey Deschanel Adopts Two Adorable Dogs (PHOTO)
Or should we call them "adorkable" dogs?
New Girl star Zooey Deschanel just adopted two new best friends from Bill Foundation in L.A.
Zooey shared this photo on Instagram, writing, "I have to thank the #billfoundation for the greatest, sweetest, most wonderful dogs in the world. Apples of my eye!"
She tweeted that her dogs are named Zelda and Dot. They're so cute!
In 2011, Zooey told Late Late Show's Craig Ferguson, "I want a dog so much." Craig had suggested a Husky, but she wasn't into that idea. "I want something cute, to hang out with and hug." Looks like she got what she wanted — although you can hug and hang out with Huskies too!

The Tampa Bay Hotel
(Plant Hall)
The Tampa Bay Hotel was built by transportation industrialist, Henry Bradley Plant as the flagship hotel for his rail and steamship system, linking Tampa to the great cities of the north and to Cuba. Like a vision from the Arabian Nights, the enormous quarter-mile-long palace became the jewel of the vast Plant Empire. There is no structure like it in America. Fashionably modeled after the court of Moorish kings in Grenada, the structure was crowned with 13 silver minarets, cupolas and domes and embraced with a lace like iron verandah, wide as a county road. Its imported Cuban mahogany, French glass, pink granite and Venetian mirrors swathed the hotel in the elegance and opulence of the Gilded Age.
Plant's winter resort attracted the brilliant, the honored and the popular – such personages as Sarah Bernhardt, Gloria Swanson, Anna Pavlova, Nelli Melba and Booker T Washington. And it was in the elegant lobby that Babe Ruth signed his first baseball contract with the Boston Red Sox.
In 1898 the sumptuous hostelry gained international prominence as US military headquarters during the Spanish American War. Civil War heroes Major General Nelson A. Miles, William Rufus Shafter and "Fighting Joe" Wheeler lived in the hotel and set up command there, marshaling forces for transport to Cuba in support of her cry for independence. Thirty thousand troops, including Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, crowded into Tampa for the first major port of embarkation operations in US military history. Since 1933 the city-owned building has been home to The University of Tampa and The Henry B. Plant Museum.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday tweeted for the first time, announcing the launch of a Vatican news information portal.
Benedict's tweet read: "Dear Friends, I just launched News.va Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ! With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI".
The portal www.news.va for the first time aggregates information from the Vatican's various print, online, radio and television media. It's the latest effort by the Vatican to bring its evangelizing message to a greater, Internet-savvy audience and follows forays into Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Benedict put the site online himself by tapping an iPad, said Thaddeus Jones, project coordinator and an official with the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. Moments later the pope sent the tweet.
The 84-year-old pontiff was then shown the portal and its features in greater detail.
Jones described him as "interested and impressed," and "clearly enjoying it."
"He was clearly in awe at the new technology," said Jones. "It's a lighter moment but also an important one, it marks a new way of communicating."
Benedict has been bedeviled by communications woes during much of his six-year papacy, much of it the fault of a large Vatican bureaucracy that doesn't always communicate well internally. Officials hope the new portal, while mostly designed to provide Vatican news in an easy-to-use setting to the outside world, might also improve the Vatican's own internal communications by sharing information.
The portal was launched for the feast day of St. Peter and Paul, which falls on June 29 but officially begins with a vesper service June 28. Wednesday also marks the 60th anniversary of Benedict's ordination as a priest.

Lake Caroline residents will pay 75 percent more for water each month
By EMILY BATTLE
Date published: 1/8/2005
Utility to seek another hike
Joseph Straub knows the price of everything rises sooner or later, but the 75 percent increase he and other Lake Caroline residents face in their water bills seems steep to him.
But William Seltzer, owner of the private company that provides Lake Caroline's water, said that increase won't be enough to cover the company's operating expenses, much less make about $500,000 worth of needed improvements at the water treatment plant. He's already planning to ask state regulators for another rate hike.
Lake residents have been paying a flat fee of $21.67 a month for water since 1988, but a December ruling by the State Corporation Commission allowed the Ladysmith Water Co. to raise that to $38.07 beginning this month.
That's more than twice what the average Virginian pays, and more than what many area utilities charge for water and sewer service combined.
"We're getting up there to where the price of water is really becoming significant," said Straub, who is president of the Lake Caroline Property Owners Association.
Ladysmith Water Co., the only utility Lake Caroline property owners are allowed to buy water from, asked the commission in 2002 for permission to raise rates to $55 a month. The company said the increase, more than double what lake residents were paying at the time, was needed to help it keep up with water-quality regulations.
The property owners association challenged the increase. After the commission examined the company's accounting, the state set the maximum fee at $38.07 a month.
The commission is also requiring the company to follow through with $445,000 worth of treatment-plant upgrades state and federal regulators have requested.
Straub and other residents of the 850-home community say they realized some increase was inevitable, but many are worried about the company's plans to seek even higher rates. Straub said the homeowners association is already researching how to fight that battle.
Although state law requires that a utility wait a year before applying for another rate hike, Seltzer wants to do that as soon as possible.
"Of course, we're going to have to go for new rates," he said. "We think [the $38.07 fee] was a very bad result.
"New regulations are coming down constantly about our plant, about our operating requirements and we have to pay our bills."
For example, the Virginia Department of Health recently asked the company to hire a consultant to help control the levels of chemical byproducts from the chlorination process.
Randall Scott, who has owned a home at the lake for about three years, has a problem with the flat monthly fee residents pay. With no meters to track each home's usage, there's no incentive for anyone to conserve, he said.
"A household with five children is paying the same as a weekender," Scott said. "You might as well turn on your hose and let it saturate your lawn."
The state has asked the water company to evaluate the cost of installing meters. Seltzer said he'd like to add meters, but he has to spend money first on keeping his plant in line with government standards.
The rising fees have some residents thinking about an alternative water supply.
Don Cotter, a 10-year resident, said the community might want to eventually hook up to Caroline County's water system. But it's unclear what it would take to do that and how much it would cost.
"We have a lot of 'I don't knows,'" Scott said.

What is malaria?
Malaria is a serious disease that causes a high
fever and chills. You can get it from a bite by an infected mosquito. Malaria
is rare in the United States. It is most often found in Africa, Southern Asia,
Central America, and South America.
What causes malaria?
Malaria is caused by a bite from a mosquito
infected with parasites. In very rare cases, people can get malaria
if they come into contact with infected blood. A developing fetus may get the disease from its mother. You cannot
get malaria just by being near a person who has the disease.
What are the symptoms?
Most malaria infections
cause symptoms like the flu, such as a high fever, chills, and muscle pain.
Symptoms tend to come and go in cycles. One type of malaria may cause more
serious problems, such as damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys, or brain. It can
even be deadly.
How is malaria diagnosed?
Your doctor will order a blood test to check for
the malaria parasite in your blood.
How is it treated?
Medicines usually can treat the illness. But some
malaria parasites may survive because they are in your liver or they are
resistant to the medicine.
Call a doctor
right away if you have been in an area where malaria is present, were exposed
to mosquitoes, and get symptoms that are like the flu. These include a high
fever, chills, and muscle pain.
How is malaria prevented?
You may be able to prevent malaria by taking
medicine before, during, and after travel to an area where malaria is present.
But using medicine to prevent malaria doesn't always work. This is partly due
to the parasites being resistant to some medicines in some parts of the

The 10 biggest mistakes made in electrical designs
OEMs can no longer afford to look upon this important area as an afterthought
Story by Gary L. Gustafson, Nov. 22, 2006
Electrical systems have historically been treated as many things by powersports manufacturersa red-headed step-child, an elephant in the corner or even an afterthought. This is changing. In the 21st century, the one thing OEMs cannot afford to do is treat electrical systems as unimportant, and those that dont will have a competitive advantage.
The following are some of the most common mistakes powersports companies make with their electronics development.
1. Insufficient charging system power.
This will result in dead batteries, dim headlights, poor accessory performance, perplexed dealer technicians and most significantly, dissatisfied customers. On the other hand, a maximized charging system can be the foundation for game-changing innovation. For example, the electric-assist power steering system available on 2007 Yamaha Grizzly 700 FIs required a 200 watt upgrade to their stator. ATV OEMs which do not have a surplus of electrical power available will have to deal with this inadequacy first if they decide to release their own electrical power steering systems.
It is always easiest to specify a high-output magneto charging system when a new engine platform is designed. Sufficient room must be allowed in the crankcase casting for the stator and flywheel, and provisions for cooling the stator may also need to be made. While it is sometimes possible to upgrade an existing magneto-based charging system, the cost versus return is substantially less favorable than just designing it with a surplus of power to being with. I always pushed for higher charging system outputs at the major OEMs I worked for when a new engine was being designed. In all cases, there was a need for the extra power discovered before the models even went to production. In addition, with the explosion in aftermarket accessories extra charging power will be demanded regardless of if the production electrical system needs it or not. The bottom line is that no customer ever complains about having too much electrical power, but they will definitely complain if there is not enough.
2. Not allocating the electrical system design team resources equivalent to that of the mechanical design teams.
Powersports OEMS, by and large, have staffs who are 99% mechanical in their expertise. Yet, if all of the electrical components on the vehicle from ignition coils to the taillight are added together, the per cent of vehicle cost that is electrical is closer to 10%, meaning 1% of the staff is responsible for 10% of the content. Many aftermarket companies do not have one person with electrical engineering training on their entire staff. The quality and breadth of powersports electrical designs has lagged due to this design imbalance.
In todays powersports business model, every manufacturer is in a rush to have a little more suspension travel, more horsepower, a better chassis and other features. A paradigm shift is needed. Devoting more resources to electrical development offers an enormous opportunity for more satisfied customers, cost reductions, warranty reductions and product differentiation. The next great powersports technology revolution will have more to do with electrical than mechanical design, and the first company to embrace this strategy will benefit tremendously. Many industries are littered with the shells of once-great brands which were overcome by technology revolutions that relegated them to the ash heap of history. It is only logical that such technology revolutions allow the potential for small David-type companies to set the Goliaths of the powersports world on their head. It is a good bet that electronic or mechatronic technologies will be at the heart of the coming sea-change.
3. Not planning for hose, wire and cable routes.
Poor wire, hose and cable routes can cause very expensive problems. Studies conducted for powersports manufacturers reveal annual warranty costs upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year due to overlooking this detail. Product safety recalls can also be triggered by these problems and the resultant lawsuits have the potential to cause a smaller manufacturer to close their doors.
One good example of this is throttle cable routing. Throttle cables have not changed in many years. The same goes with how they are routedbeing zip-tied to the bars on many handlebar-steered vehicles. As every service technician can attest, improperly installed throttle cables can cause problems ranging from engine stalls to serious safety issues. However, very little progress has been made in controlling their placement.
Unfortunately, hose, wire and cable routing problems are an inherent result of the design process at most OEMs. Manufacturers usually do not design routes for hoses, wires and cables concurrent to the rest of the vehicle model. Instead, they lay out the vehicle and then make a last-minute demand for their electrical gurus to find a place for the wiring to go. I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see a friends brand new ATV have wires hanging down inside a fender, very vulnerable to being torn off. And this quad was from a company with a reputation for rock-solid reliability. The tragedy is, these types of problems are completely avoidable with some common sense and design process control.
4. Not designing for serviceability.
As much as 60% of all electrical warranty is due to misdiagnosis. This problem is another offshoot of manufacturer tendencies to address electrical designs at the tail end of the vehicle design cycle. This approach does not allow electrical engineering staff time to develop useful electrical troubleshooting procedures for service manual creation.
Common serviceability problems include out of date schematic diagrams, worthless troubleshooting flowcharts and meaningless or non-existent diagnostic blink codes. In addition, electrical connections are often hard to access for service. If it takes a long time for a service technician to get at a part for testing, he is almost certainly going to replace it regardless.
Manufacturers should adhere to a few basic rules for electrical-system serviceability. Some of them include: Centralize components into an electrical center, but avoid placing electrically noisy items next to low-current signals. Specify light bulbs that are off-the-shelf if possible, keep schematic diagrams up-to-date, and locate electrical connections where they can be reached with minimal labor time. If new electrical features are added, have all supporting technical information available for dealers from the moment the product is released. Develop an iron-clad specification for wire color functions. Continuity in wire color functions will help technicians to grow their familiarity with evolving electrical systems. Use two functions per wire color if the vehicle has EFI, one function dedicated to the engine electronics and one dedicated to the chassis electronics. Carbureted vehicles should only need one function per wire color. Another best practice is to have company development technicians and engineers maintain a database of problems they encountered during production, along with how they solved them. This database can be tapped to develop the entire service manual, not just the electrical section. Add diagnostic capability to components that have advanced microprocessors and large amounts of I/O such as speedometers. Diagnostic capability is often available for free by simply adding a little more software programming into these components.
One rule to always keep in mindassume that the people who will be servicing the vehicle have no electrical training. Because of this fact, electrical system design-for-serviceability must be emphasized all the more.

She had the yips on her serve, she can't get her serve on the court. Wait until you see on July 23, she's gonna be serving 40 miles an hour and I'm gonna be just plugging it down her throat…We do exhibitions together and I'll mock her, and make fun of her. I'll just make her know that she's stupid…I'm sure she'll rue the day that she has to come here and actually share space with me…I have no attraction to her, because she's such a douche…I really have no interest in her. I wouldn't mind having my younger brother, who's kind of a stud, nail her and then reap the benefits of that."

Creative New Zealand |9 Sep . 1997
Hinemoa Harrison and Dr Pakariki Harrison are the 1997 recipients of the annual $25,000 Te Waka Toi Award, presented at a ceremony on the Harataunga Marae at Kennedy's Bay on November 8.
Sponsored by Te Waka Toi, the Maori arts board of Creative New Zealand, the award was established in 1995 to recognise outstanding leadership and service to the Maori arts.
Te Waka Toi Chair Elizabeth Ellis said the husband and wife team of Hinemoa and Pakariki have worked together for many years, committed to both preserving and developing raranga and whakairo.
"Hinemoa and Pakariki are exceptional artists and this award recognises their wisdom, leadership and artistry," she said. "As well as working in many marae and institutions, they have also passed on their knowledge and love of their art to others."
Hinemoa (Ngapuhi, Te Arawa - Ngati Whakaue, Taranaki - Ngati Ruanui) grew up in Mangamuka in the Hokianga where she met and married Pakariki in 1952. She took up weaving 18 years ago when Pakariki was carving Te Poho o Tipene at St Stephen's College in Auckland. Under the tuition of weaver Una Marino, she worked on the college's tukutuku panels.
"This first experience of weaving was very positive," Hinemoa said. "Weaving really attracted me and I loved working with the natural materials, kiekie and kakaho, forming and combining patterns.
"Later, I began to experiment by adding feathers to the tukutuku and flax fibre, and using different stitches and patterns. Weaving is something you never stop learning about."
Regarded as the leading tohunga and keeper of wananga of carving, Pakariki (Ngati Porou) was the eldest of 21 children and grew up in Ruatoria. Carving had been in the family for generations and he was carving by the time he was 10.
"I've been learning carving for 50 years - and I'm still learning," Pakariki said. "Not only the techniques but also what it means to our people; the chants and korero, everything that goes with it.
"Lecturing at the University of Auckland in the 1980s helped me gather more knowledge and bring things into focus."
In 1991, Pakariki was conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Literature from the University of Auckland.
Back in the 1960s, however, he was a young school teacher working in Auckland and teaching carving at night classes. He was also working on a book about carving.
"I wrote to the Arts Council for a grant to help publish the book but instead, they sent me to France to do a series of lectures on carving," Pakariki said. "When I came back, I was asked to carve the meeting house on Whaiora Marae in Otara. I took leave of absence from teaching and completed the house in 1975."
That was the end of Pakariki's career as a school teacher. Since then, he has carved many marae and institutions including Otawhao Marae and the carving school at Aotearoa Institute in Te Awamutu, Tane nui a Rangi at Auckland University and Harataunga Marae.
While Pakariki leads the carving of a house, Hinemoa develops its tukutuku and weaving. They also run workshops so that local Maori can become more involved in the furnishing of their whare tupuna.
Hinemoa learned the art of korowai making from Diggeress Te Kanawa while she and Pakariki were worked together on Otawhao Marae. She completed her first korowai for Pakariki and then made another for the vice-chancellor of Auckland University.
The couple's work on marae often involves their whanau. Most of their children are artists - whether they carve wood, bone or pounamu; or make taniko, tukutuku, kete or piupiu.
One of the Harrisons' daughters, Caroline, paid tribute to her parents. "Both of them are just so humble and they are such hard workers. They welcome everyone, and have spent their lives working with people and passing on their knowledge."
Hinemoa and Pakariki have both exhibited their work overseas and in November, they travelled to Seattle to take part in the Pacific Voices exhibition at the Burke Museum. Hinemoa exhibited two tukutuku panels and Pakariki exhibited three of his carvings.
Life may be busy but the Harrisons still have time for their mokopuna.
"The little ones are around all day," Hinemoa said. "They help me pull the kiekie through and in the process they're learning too."
Elizabeth Ellis described Hinemoa and Pakariki as "a winning team".
"Their lives have revolved around whanau, and service to their art and culture," she said. "Te Waka Toi is delighted to be able to recognise the significant contribution they have made to Maori arts and to the arts of Aotearoa New Zealand."

Ure, A.A.; (2009) Vasilii Rozanov and the Creation. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
This thesis will examine the Creation of the world as the referential event in Vasilii Rozanov's religious thought. The first chapter explores Rozanov's rejection of Orthodoxy's formal doctrines, in favour of a philosophy based on man's physical ties with God. Rozanov's God is bisexual, whose creation of the cosmos is a sexual event. Man is linked to God not through Christ (a created being), but biologically, and by his bodily activity which repeats the Creation. Rozanov subverts the eschatology of Orthodoxy, replacing it with an attachment to the material world. The subsequent chapters examine the implications of Rozanov's thought for his Christianity, and specifically the manner in which he tries to make ancient values relevant in contemporary Russian society. The second chapter investigates Rozanov's studies of ancient Egypt. Rozanov tries to restore Egyptian religious practices, in particular their reverence for the Creation. The third chapter turns to Rozanov's writings on the Jews. He believes that the Jews have preserved the rituals they learned from the Egyptians, and therefore can provide a connection between the Russians and pre-Christian civilizations. The final chapter looks at the role played by art, specifically literature, in the restoration of pre-Christian values for Rozanov, arguing that his aesthetics are ethical and based on his interpretation of the Creation. Writing re-enacts the Creation. This thesis argues that Rozanov's thought emerges from the traditions of Russian philosophy, and also from traditional Russian Orthodoxy; in many ways he is a typical Russian thinker, as well as a devout Orthodox believer. Having assumed these traditions, he proceeds to define his thought in opposition to them. This thesis will also illuminate the broader tendencies in the development of Russian thought at this time, and the way Russian thinkers engaged with the established religious teachings of the Church.

"Every time we go to Pizza Express - King st or St martins the food and service are spot on. You need to know you'll get a decent meal fairly quickly when you've got kids - and Pizza Express has always been child-friendly. "
By Leicslocal | Tuesday, June 21 2011
Walked past this place a few times before going in. One of my friends used to work here so had a pizza with my friend before going out. Had a great time the food was nice and had good service. A good place to eat at night and they have good offers on
Lovely menu, with a choice of pizza, pasta, salads and great side dishes. Amazing value if you take a voucher, if you sign up on the website they email them very often. The nice thing about this chain is the food doesn't vary too much between restaurants, you always know what to expect. They also have a childrens menu and vegetarians are considered. They are also very good at altering things to your specific tastes, salad dressing on the side or olives taken off pizza for example.
i have been to this restaurant so many times and srtill havent managed to do the whole menu the choice is amazing and the pizza is lovely. you can get vouchers from online like buy 1 course get the next course free go to my voucher codes this makes the experience even better. the pizzas are lovely especially the calzone yum yum
There are two pizza Expresses in Leicester City Centre and whilst both are great, this is the best one because of everything MKeeling says above - great layout, good atmosphere and attentive staff. The selection of pizza's here is fantastic with my personal favourite being the Sloppy Giuseppi which has a nice little kick/warmth to it that is washed down perfectly by a Nastro Azurro. A winner every time.
I lose count of how many times that I have eaten here. The menu is great and the layout is perfect. I'm a big fan of that Italian 'stone baked' base and here they get it spot on every time. I also feel that the staff are really good and come across like they are happy to serve you.
Pizza Express is a classy Italian Restaurant with a great choice of dishes. The King Street branch is partcularly nice as it is tucked away from the main city centre and is a great little find to stop for lunch or an evening meal with friends without breaking the bank. I can definitely recommend the Bruschetta, and the desserts are to die for!
