What road?
Joined: Jun 2004
Location: Adelaide, Australia
Oddometer: 350
I am looking at forming a kind of loop that goes under the pet cock to continue the gaurds to about 1/2 way along the bottom of the lower side of the tank and running all the way up the front of the tank to the bottom of the fairing as it gets a punding on high speed gravel roads all the time.. The intention is to leave an opening to be able to still turn the cock reasonably easily. I may even put in a small brace made out of 30thou aluminium just to help with the moulding around the pet cock.
Probably be about 3-4 layers of a twill or satin weave carbon HM cloth with 3-4 layers on top of a twill or satin weave kevlar 49. (These weaves are more drapeable and easier to use on the complex curves on the lower edges of the tank.)
This should give good impact and strength with good abrasion resistance.
It wil be an epoxy matrix as I have found an aviation source that flogs off their out of date pre-mixed stuff. Hopefully it will have the right properties for the application.
I may also use some additive on the finish coat like aluminium dust for UV protection as we get an aweful lot of it here in Southern OZ. (Bedliner if desperate-bling is nice, practical is essential).
It all dependes on how hard it will be to get materials to where I live.
I just got to get a chance in the new year to get to my aviation guys place and have a chat.
If all else fails there is a West SYstems dealer in OZ who is a boat builder who is a source for materials if need be.
If this all goes really well I might have a look at some other stuff after like panniers (sandwich construction) and if real keen a rally skid plate.

Back in the summer, I 'poo-poohed' the hiring of the Diggler. It was my belief that he was Mularkey 2.5, and I was dead wrong.
Even if we lose Sunday ( which I dont think we will )at this point I have to give props to Dirk and Pat Hill.

More problems for Bucs: Carl Nicks to injured reserve
Posted by Darin Gantt on October 30, 2012, 4:17 PM EDT
The Buccaneers' offseason shopping spree took another hit Tuesday, when the team announced that guard Carl Nicks was going on injured reserve with a toe injury.
Nicks has been dealing with the injury all season, but apparently had a recent setback.
The team announced they've promoted guard Roger Allen from the practice squad to replace him.
Nicks was part of the Bucs' splash in the early hours of free agency, along with cornerback Eric Wright, who is facing a suspension for failing a test for Adderall. They're probably encasing wide receiver Vincent Jackson, the other big buy, in bubble wrap as we speak.
Damn that Vegan Genius!

My role as an occasional composer of cheap and cheerful television music gives me a great excuse to watch daytime TV if I feel like it. And today I spent a few relaxing minutes watching a little of the BBC's Bargain Hunt, in which two teams of contestants buy junk at boot sales and sell it on as 'antiques' at auction. The winning team is the one that makes the smallest loss! On the odd occasion, they might even make a small profit and get to keep it.
In the middle of the program there is normally a slot where presenter Tim Wonnacott enthuses over some piece of genuine antiquery. And today's didn't look very promising to start with. But it turned out to be quite amazing. Here's the video...
Wow! Well, it probably doesn't work fully and, even if it did, it would take a lot of maintenance to keep it going. But it's an amazing instrument with so much character. And I want one like it.
Now... who can I see about a MIDI retrofit?

To see the truth with your own eyes...
Greetings to everyone on match.com and thanks for visiting my profile. I am a local guy, born and raised on Oahu. I've been working full time as an engineer for a local construction company for 4 years now and I enjoy it despite its time consuming nature. The best part is that each day brings new challenges and there is always a new problem to be solved. My favorite leasure activities are watching tv and hanging out with my friends.I also really like music (I love singing when nobody is around). Here's a short breakdown of what I am looking for. Intelligence is huge for me, probably the number one factor. A sense of humor is always good and I love confidence as well. I'm pretty flexible overall, but those are the main things. On a side note, I do love music, so if you have any musical talent (especially if it's singing) you definitely get bonus points. When it comes to dates, I prefer someplace quiet where we can get some 1-on-1 time. Usually something like eating a meal at a restaurant or hanging out at the park; somewhere public but with some separation so I don't have to compete for your attention. Well, if you actually took the time to read through all of this, I'd like to thank you again for your diligence. Could you be the "truth" that I've been looking for?
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Video games , Watching sports
Other types of exercise, Running, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.

Watching tv and taking walks. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, eating out, and just taking time out to relax.
Honestly, something from work *sigh*

Re: Windows Phone 8

The main things are:
Windows phone 8 will use Windows 8 core
Why is this a good thing? What was wrong with the CE underpinnings of WP7?
Native code (C/C++)
Which wasn't really a problem in WP7 that needed solving. But it's probably a good thing.
Multicore support
Which was a strange omission in the first place, since the CE underpinnings of the WP7 kernel supported multicore in the first place, but WP7 itself did not.
Higher screen resolution
A good thing. But having multiple resolutions to support can be troublesome for the devs.
Removable Storage
A good thing. Not that I've ever used it once in my lifetime, but others do.
Question: Is this form of NFC universally supported as a standard? Or is this an MS-only function? If it is the latter, it will be dead on arrival.
Secure boot / Bitlocker encryption
This is certainly a plus. I wish more phones/tablets supported this.
Skype and or other VOIP will be tightly integrated into the OS
It has yet to be seen how well it works. MS bought out Skype, but they are still their own operation for some reason. Maybe thats a good thing. I will wait til I see it to pass judgment.
IE10 Metro (Hopefully pages will render exactly like they would on a desktop)
I will have to admit, so far IE10 is slicker than snot. And quite possibly the fastest and most responsive browser available right now, even in its beta form. It's too bad the interface and functionality will suck balls if its anything like the desktop. And it doesn't support plug-ins. But thats par for the course on tablets/phones, so no viable gripe there.
No upgrade path for any WP7 devices, WP7.8 will include some of WP8's features
Now this was really a stupid move on Microsofts part. Abandon (for the second time in two years) their user base. Just bought the top of the line Nokia 900? Your sh*t out of luck. Meanwhile, Apple
supports the 3GS, which came out over a year after WP7 did.
How long will the Windows Phone fanbois hold out before they realize MS doesn't have the faintest clue as to what it is doing?
This makes WP8 very interesting.
But not if you want to have faith that your purchase will be supported long-term. Remarkable that I need to say that, considering MS has a history of supporting XP for up to 12 years. But the phones and tablet market? Not so much
They were really trying to drive home the point that if you make an application that can run on Windows 8, it can quickly be tweaked and run on WP8. Since the OS handles all of the APIs for sensors, network, etc, the developer doesn't need to write code for drivers, they just tie into the exact same APIs that are used on all Windows platforms and it will work. They were also really pushing games and showing how you could write a game in C++, use DirectX and run the same games you could on other platforms. Obviously it's going to dependent upon the hardware but devs can scale performance accordingly.
We'll have to see on that. AFAIK, it is already a trivial matter with the current programming tools to do that. the problem is, you need to reprogram in the first place because of the differing interfaces. Tablet UI /= Phone UI, even in the Windows 8 world. Just like you wouldn't want to use an iPhone app in iPad without making obvious changed to each platform, the same goes for Windows 8. At least for the sane developers.
4 makers for WP8 phones: Nokia, Samsung, HTC, and huawei.
Doesn't matter how many makers you have. If none of them can make a decent phone, it doesn't matter. So far, only one company can make a decent Windows Phone, and thats Nokia. Too bad their current offerings are going to be considered obsolete in 6 months, while the 2009 iPhone 3GS is still going to be supported by iOS 6 this fall. IOW, their current top of the line phones are being sabotaged by Windows 8.

In addition to their own physiques, shoppers can outfit living rooms, bedrooms, and panic rooms with pieces from a rotating array of housewares, such as picture frames, wall hangings, and pillows.2701 Westhaven VillageAmarillo, TX US
Panhandle Plains Historical MuseumRead MoreA century ago, most travelers had no choice but to explore the world by foot, unless, of course, they were rich enough to own a Wonkavator. With that in mind, they probably would appreciate visiting the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum—a facility that, in a sense, lets guests cover 26,000 square miles on foot in one visit. But that's not the only big number behind the museum's operation: it also houses more than 2 million artifacts, spanning 14,000 years of the region's history. Inside, guests can marvel at themed displays, including those that showcase the Plains' roots in paleontology, archeology, and a renowned art collection. They can also relive the hardships and courage of living in the Old West while plodding through a life-size Pioneer Town.2503 4th AveCanyon, TX US

A new Netflix documentary titled What Happened, Miss Simone? has recently generated interest from film and music critics. Simone was a true original in every sense of the term. Her resume includes being a classically trained musician who attended Julliard, a vocal civil rights firebrand who wrote songs memorializing MLK and the young victims of a church bombing in Mississippi (Mississippi Goddamn), and an innovative Jazz vocalist who often mixed her classical training into her renditions of Jazz and Blues standards. She was also a complex human being who suffered from mental illness and butted heads with the music industry throughout much of her career. She's widely considered one of the great musicians of the 20th century. Check out her music from the library's music collection or stream the albums through Hoopla and Freegal.
For those who like pop music of the 1960's but who may have grown weary of the original version of their favorite songs may want to give the newest She & Him album a try. Simply and aptly named Classics, M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel tackle mostly A-side covers of well-worn pop and jazz tunes with the same level of sweetness and whimsy of their previous work. For those who are familiar with the duo's love of all things twee and vintage, you won't be surprised that their engagement with standards like Unchained Melody, Time After Time, Stay Awhile and This Girl's In Love with You is freshly updated yet still rooted to the song's era and personality. For some, this will be an exercise in pointless recycling but for others, an entertaining tribute.
This week's #1 find was from KPL's extensive music collection; a copy of the Ken Morgan Jazz Unit (Ken Morgan, saxophones, flute; Gail Baker, vocals; Matt Jackson, piano; Paul Erhard, bass; Mike Roush, drums), recorded Live at Chaps on Main (remember Chaps?) on a very cool Saturday evening in February, 1979. I have a copy of this on vinyl from long ago, but I must admit that I haven't played it in quite some time. After listening to the CD, I found it rather remarkable how well the music holds up some three-and-a-half decades later. The sound is clean, bright, and immediate, and the band is on fire. Do yourself a favor and give this one a spin (again), it's worth the effort.
My other pre-holiday treat was a somewhat more recent (and also local) Friends Find, a 2007 10-track compilation from the WMU Jazz Studies Program called Jazz Tracks (and since this copy comes from the Friends Bookstore, I get to keep it!). Jazz Tracks features the usual WMU musical heavyweights; Western Jazz Quartet (Trent Kynaston, Tom Knific, Steve Zegree, Tim Fronek), University Jazz Orchestra, the Justin Avery Band, and others. The CD also comes with a couple of video clips buried deep inside, including Gold Company performing a Duke Ellington tune on stage with none other than Bobby McFerrin. How cool is that?! And here's a holiday hint… there is a small box of other assorted local (WMU, KSO, etc.) CDs sitting on the shelf in the Friends Bookstore, right next to the local books. Just right for budget priced stocking stuffing!
Bargains in the Basement is an occasional series highlighting noteworthy items unearthed in the lower level of Central Library. What a treasure we have (quite literally) in the Friends Bookstore. When you can grab high quality books, music, and movies for little more than pocket change, life is good. And all the proceeds go to help support the library. So shop often; you never know what you'll find. And stay tuned… I'll let you know what I find!
Bing Crosby's famous rendition of White Christmas may well be the most beloved and well known holiday song. It's a song that every December becomes an ubiquitous element of everyday life, almost inescapable as it leaks into existence from mall speakers, headphones and television sets. A new biographical portrait of Crosby's personal and professional life as well as his pop cultural significance will be featured on the PBS television program American Masters this Tuesday (December 2nd). Interested in more than just his holiday songs, check out more here.
Winter is here in all its glory and with the holiday season (and, of course, Record Store Day) right around the corner, it's time for another Bargain Basement adventure. This time there are two worth bragging about… well, ok, maybe more like five or six but who's counting?
First, if you're in the mood for some new jazz (and who's not?), Friends Bookstore has a whole cart full of new acquisitions. Seriously. A whole cart full. Ok, even I'll admit that there's some pretty obscure stuff in there, but for a couple of bucks each, you definitely can't go wrong. I made out like a bandit with three killer titles by local (but nationally famed) jazzman, Tom Knific; Siena, Lines of Influence, and Home Bass. Siena features a full cast of heavies, including pianist Fred Hersch and one of my longtime favorite guitar artists, John Abercrombie. Impressive stuff, indeed. Lines is a quartet record with pianist John Knific, drummer extraordinaire Keith Hall, and tasty sax work by Chris Geckstrom. Lastly, Tom's "Duos and Trios" release, Home Bass, boasts an equally impressive cast, with Billy Hart, drums; Trent Kynaston, sax; and others. All are wonderful recordings and terrific finds.
And… just in time for the holidays, Friends have so cleverly set up a cart chock full of holiday music and seasonal videos. Sinatra and Bing and all the classics are there, of course, but as I've confessed here before, I tend to seek out the more unusual when it comes to musical holiday fare. (There's even a new film about this strange obsession due to arrive in December. There's a trailer below - thanks for the tip, Karl!) So, in between the Mannheim Steamrollers and the Gregorian chanters, along comes this cool collection called Maybe This Christmas Too? with Dave Matthews, Barenaked Ladies, Oh Susanna, and the Flaming Lips. Nice! I also grabbed a lovely disc from Utah with some wonderful guitar and violin works by Michael Lucarelli and Kelly Parkinson. And to top it off, I managed to secure a swingin' copy of Have Yourself A Tractors Christmas. Priceless.
I have a pretty wide taste spectrum for the various jazz styles and movements that have unfolded over the past 50 years or so. One of those musicians that I enjoy listening to as summer turns to fall is the pianist Dave Brubeck. Along with Gerry Mulligan, Chico Hamilton, Chet Baker, Wes Montgomery, and Paul Desmond, Brubeck was considered one of the most popular players associated with the "cool jazz" of the West Coast scene (his visage was famously featured on the cover of Time Magazine in 1954). Brubeck w as an adventurous innovator whose style could be characterized by unconventional time signatures as well as his warm tones and lyrical flourishes.His most famous album and composition (a commercial hit of its time) is the standard Take Five, which was written along side of the great alto saxophonist Paul Desmond who was a member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
Yes, summer is on the short end of its calendar life and soon the leaves will be falling and I'll want to listen to more brooding, pensive music. But for now, the sweet, melodic, and laidback sounds of Bossa Nova fit perfectly with the time spent in the hot sun and strolling along the lake's meandering surf. For those looking for a great introduction to the Brazilian music developed in the early 1960's, check out Bossa Nova and the rise of Brazilian Music in the 1960's.
This compilation contains a who's who of artists of the period, when Brazilian musicians mixed American jazz influences with South American rhythms. If you're searching for Bossa Nova artists in Hoopla or Freegal, then give these well-known artists a shot: Bebel Gilberto, Gilberto Gil, Stan Getz (made several Bossa Nova tinged albums), João Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Charlie Byrd, Sergio Mendes, and Wanda Sa.
Oh rainy day, what should I play? If you're anything like me and you appreciate the ocassional dark skies and leisurely fall of rain, your playlist is probably a reflective collection of moody and somewhat somber tunes. On days like today, Classical, Film Scores and Jazz reign (pun intended).
How about a little music from the film Magnolia's soundtrack:
Keeping with film scores, nobody does gloomy and melodic better than Philip Glass:
Often lumped in with the French Impressionism of Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, Erik Satie's hauntingly simple music evokes nostalgia and memory:
In her heyday, Billie Holiday's singular style was unmatched in expressing the depth of human emotion:
Two titans of modern music, Aaron Copland and Benny Goodman:
And lastly, the beauty and simplicity of The Beatitudes as performed by The Kronos Quartet and featured in the film The Great Beauty:
Looking for artists similar to those you already know about and enjoy? Well, we'll try to make suggestions that expand your musical listening experience by connecting like-sounding artists together.• Liked Jackson Browne, try Dawes • Liked The Avett Brothers, try The Felice Brothers • Liked Neko Case, try Laura Marling • Liked Miles Davis, try Chet Baker • Liked MGMT, try The Flaming Lips • Liked The Cocteau Twins, try Beach House • Liked New Order, try The Knife • Liked Bob Marley, try Peter Tosh • Liked Billie Holiday, try Diane Krall • Liked The White Stripes, try Wanda Jackson • Liked Wilco, try Fleet Foxes • Liked Pink, try Robyn • Liked Bon Iver, try Elliott Smith • Liked Mumford and Sons, try The Head and the Heart • Liked Frank Sinatra, try Kurt Elling
The 8-disc compilation The 100 Best Jazz Tunes of the 1950's is an absolutely fantastic introduction to the music of jazz for both the well-versed aficionado as well as the eager novice seeking to expand their listening library (see: My co-worker Kevin King's previous post). This was a great decade for jazz development, ushering in various stylistic trends including Bop, Post-Bop, Cool and the first signals of what one might refer to as Free Jazz. It's a who's who of legendary musicians from Jazz's heyday, many of whom are featured playing their signature tunes. Included are Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, Django Reinhardt, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, Charles Mingus, and many more. If you just wanted to add a little bit of Jazz to your iTunes library, this is the one title to start with.

"Mike Scioscia, from Upper Darby, Pa., by way of Hell."
Oct 13, 2009, 9:55 AM EDT
You probably won't be surprised to learn that, had the Red Sox beat the Angels in the division series, I was prepared to write an extended post about just how miserable another Yankees-Red Sox series stood to be for non-Yankee and non-Red Sox fans. We've seen plenty of it over the years in the playoffs proper, and the over-hype their regular season matchups foment makes it seem like they're playing playoff games multiple times a year anyway. There just wouldn't be any new angles to explore of such a matchup, rendering the whole thing a rather dreary affair.
If the early chatter from the New York tabloids is any judge, such is certainly not the case with the Angels involved. How fun is this?
HE HAS been a menace to us for damn near 30 years now, the thorn in our side, the cloud in our coffee, the bee in our bonnet, the fly in our ointment, the clouds on our sunny day. He has been our nemesis, our arch-enemy, our tormentor, our antagonist and our antagonizer. He inflicts misery for sport. He is a serial baseball sadist.
He is Mike Scioscia, from Upper Darby, Pa., by way of Hell.
And he will soon be back on our doorstep, back within our borders, back with a mission to continue his reign of terror. He is one of the nightmares that keep coming back. There is the one where you are falling, with no floor in sight. There is the one where you show up for a final exam in a class you haven't once attended all semester. And there is the one where Mike Scioscia walks into a New York baseball October.
The evidence cited: Scioscia beating the Mets with a homer in Game 4 of the 1988 NLCS, his presence on the 1981 Dodger team that effectively ended the Bronx Zoo-era New York Yankees, and his presence at the helm of the 2002 Angels which put a stop to the Yankees' late-90s, early 2000s dominance of the American League. Old beefs? Sure, but it's not like you can't find fans still ticked off about all of that stuff.
I'll grant that just about every prepackaged storyline like this is rather contrived, but at least this one is a fresh contrived storyline. At the very least it will cause the writers and commentators and, above all else, the fans to talk about this series in new terms and ignore the usual autopilot we see when it's the Yankees vs. the Sox.
Excited yet?

the thorn in our side,
the cloud in our coffee,
the bee in our bonnet,
the fly in our ointment,
the clouds on our sunny day…
This sounds a lot better when you sing it like the Burlesque House song from the Simpsons:
We're the sauce on your steak
We're the cheese in your cake
We put the spring in Springfield
We're the lace on your nightgown
The point after touchdown
Yes we put the spring in Springfield

- Ed - Oct 13, 2009 at 6:31 PM
That 1988 NLCS broke my heart. 1 strike from going up 3 games to 1…the Mets were 10-1 that season against the Dodgers…
For all the Yankee fans grousing – TFB! It pains me as a Rays fan to root for the Angels, but all of the other teams elicit venal anger from me. I can hope that Kazir gets rocked once or twice, right?
- Tom Hollinger - Oct 13, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Mike Scioscia grew up and lived in Springfield, PA, not Upper Darby. He graduated from Springfield High school, a bitter rival of Upper Darby High School.
(Is this, once again, a non-Philadelphian trying to make it sound like he knows about Philly?)
Please people, let Philly be handled by Philadelphians.
- Dennis LeVasseur - Oct 13, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Actually Tom Hollinger, Mike was born in Upper Darby and lived in Morton, PA. a small town on the edge of Sprinfield, PA. I went to school with Mike & played Football & Baseball with Mike @ Sprinfiels. And Upper Darby was not our bitter rival. That was Ridley
- Tom Hollinger - Oct 13, 2009 at 9:19 PM
As a Penncrest Grad – I sinceley apologize. You're right, Springfield Ridley was the big rivalry. But…won't you agree, we all hated Upper Darby?

- Steve Johnson - Nov 18, 2009 at 2:44 PM
As a Penncrest grad and former Penncrest athlete, RIDLEY was everyone's main rival back then, especially in football. It was the heydey of Ridley Football, and everyone in the Central League hated them due to their arrogance (and the fact that they were good), we all wanted to beat them.
Scioscia was known (and talked about) as a baseball player when I competed against him not a football player. His bio on the Angels website says he was an outstanding football player as well.
Can anyone add some insight into what position he played, cause I never remember him across the sidelines from me in Lima or Springfield.

Vanish-Ink Laser Tattoo RemovalRead MoreDuring an interview on WLNK's Matt & Ramona Show, Vanish-Ink owner Mick Biddy described one of the tattoos he was in the process of treating. "A young gentleman came in with a heart on his shoulder, with a banner across it and his ex-girlfriend's name. We're just taking the name off, so we can put his new girlfriend's name in." Ended relationships are just one reason people visit Biddy's practice. Many want to get rid of a tattoo because of poor craftsmanship, because they have outgrown their body art, or because a former favorite anchor refuses to apologize for something. Whatever the reason, Biddy helps them using a MedLite C6 laser that can move quickly across the skin. The beam breaks down the particles of ink, allowing them to be absorbed into the body and flushed away. The spa's lasers can also reduce hair growth with vacuum-assisted lasers that draw flesh into the beams for more effective treatment.1315 East BlvdDilworth, NC US

Been eyeing up the God of War Collection (GoW 1 & 2 HD) and God of War 3 since I've never played any game in the franchise and feel like I should after getting a PS3 this Christmas. However, I'm not entirely sure where to start. Thoughts?

Definitely with GoW 1 and then play 2. The must play games of the series to me. I think 3 was pretty good too. Never played the PSP games and didn't bother with Ascension.

Play 1 & 2 and the first hour of 3 thats all.
The GoW HD collection is as good a place as any. GoW2 in particular still stands as my favourite of the lot, though I admittedly haven't played Ascension. GoW 3's still really good too, if only for its spectacle alone. That game still looks bloody fantastic.
The HD collection for the PSP ports I would consider giving a miss, though. While they were surely impressive on the PSP hardware, when they're thrown onto a console that already has the main trilogy, it leaves them coming across as kinda redundant, especially Chains of Olympus.

There's some cheap nonsense in GoW 1, but it's still worth a look. If it's frustrating you, just move on to 2.
I have the HD collection, but I've never gotten around to beating the first game. Really want to get into the franchise, and I know that the second game is supposedly the best, but I can't bring myself to play the second without finishing the first. Someday, maybe.
Start with the first one and work your way through each game by release date. Definitely the numbered games. Ascension is okay, but I'd wait for that when you've finished everything else. I enjoyed the first PSP game when it came out, but I don't know how it stands today; never played the second PSP title.
Some people want to start chronologically based on the story -- which is fine -- but going from a 2013 game to a 2005 game can be hard.
I played each game in the series except for ascension in order of release and had a great time. I went 1,2, Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, and then 3. I think they are all great games. Two in particular was my favorite. The PSP releases are quick side stories and nothing that dramatically changes the fiction. Why don't you get God of War Saga? Five games for $23.99 on Amazon right now. Its what I did, and its a complete steal.

Business partners and investors can finance your company's growth, but capital always comes with a cost. Plus, do you really need that money anyway?
By W. Eric Martin
Business owners are always interested in opportunities to grow and improve their companies, which makes sense since businesses that aren't actively growing typically will lose customers to new competitors and attrition.
But unless you're independently wealthy, expansion will require you to take on business partners or investors willing to loan you money—and these financial contributions have strings attached that can snarl your business growth if you're not careful.
Growing Pains
Wishing for money is fine, but action is the only thing that will get you your desired results. Ralph Alterowitz, president of Potomac, Md.-based Venture Tech Corporation and author of Financing Your New or Growing Business, says before the entrepreneur starts looking for outside capital, he needs to answer four key questions:
- What do I need the money for?
- How much do I need?
- How quickly do I need it?
- How much am I willing to pay for it?
Your business might need a capital infusion for any number of legitimate reasons:
- You want to introduce a new product line or type of service.
- You need to upgrade equipment to satisfy existing customers or stay competitive.
- You want to expand your manufacturing capacity or open a new location.
- You want to improve your customer service capabilities.
- You plan to purchase another company to broaden your product line.
- You're developing new advertising programs or marketing campaigns.
- You've created a product or process that deserves to be patented.
New customers with big orders is another possibility. "You might get on QVC [home shopping network], and suddenly sales go crazy and QVC needs 10,000 units," says James E. Burk, co-author of Financing Your Small Business, director for the Center for Finance of Growth Strategies Inc., and a partner in the law firm Burk & Reedy LLP, both headquartered in Washington, D.C. "If you can't provide those units, you'll never hear from them again. The same is true with larger box stores; either you make the delivery deadline, or you're out."
Whatever reason exists for needing funds, you need to put it in writing. "Many business owners who want outside financing haven't put together a business plan with the financial projections that investors look for," Burk says. Writing out a business plan will also help you determine exactly how much funding you need and by when.
Money for Nothing? Hardly...
The two main ways to raise money for your business are debt financing and equity investing. Debt financing means that you're borrowing money from a bank, a credit union, a rich uncle or some other lender, and that money must be repaid over time with interest. Equity investing takes place when you find someone—whether a partner-to-be, angel investor or venture capitalist—willing to hand over investment funds in exchange for a piece of the pie.
Both debt financing and equity investing have pros and cons, starting with the different expectations of the lenders or investors. "Banks will look to a company's proven, stable cash flow to measure its ability to repay a loan. Risk matters to lenders," says Susan A. Schreter, a venture funding and business valuation expert who writes the "Inside Entrepreneurship" column for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "In contrast, investors focus on reward to measure their willingness to invest in a business. They look for the potential of fast revenue and profitability growth." No matter who you approach, your business plan should include both current cash flow and projected sales.
Another difference is the cost of the capital. "Equity will always be more expensive than debt to a growing company," Schreter says. With equity investing, you typically give away a percentage of ownership in the company in return for the funds; you might even have to name an investor as your partner. The investor will want to have a say in your business strategy, and venture capitalists will be looking for you to sell out or issue stock within a decade's time so they can make a solid return on their investment.
If you borrow money, you only have to pay back that amount, plus some percentage of interest, so you never cede control of the company to someone else. Still, Burk warns, Younger companies have to be careful with their debt-to-equity ratio. Having too many charges of debt can cause cash flow problems.
"Perhaps one of the most overlooked factors in evaluating different sources of financing is what happens in a worst case scenario," Schreter says. In debt financing, you're typically required to offer collateral on the loan, which means you could lose your house, car or other possessions should your business tank before the loan is repaid. Loans from friends and family can cause strife even in the best circumstances, which means you must treat them like loans from more established lenders and include clauses for every situation so that the relationship doesn't dissolve with the business.
As for equity investing, "while investors don't like to lose money, the financial pain for owners and investors ends on the day a business goes belly up. Owners don't have to repay investors out of personal possessions," Schreter says.
Other resources for investment funds include community groups, local economic development groups (found through your Chamber of Commerce), a local business school, and business development organizations run by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Finding the Funds
You don't want to wait until the last moment to borrow money or ask for investment capital. Either you'll pay more interest because you have no time to negotiate rates, or you'll struggle to find investors willing to meet on such short notice.
When borrowing, you want to apply for a line of credit when you don't need the money, says Alterowitz. Have the interview with the bank president or lending agency, bring them a business plan, and let them get a good feeling about you. This gives you time to shop around, and you won't pay as much from a lender who knows you."
Finding investors can take even longer. "I coach business owners to budget at least nine months to raise money from venture funds and assume that they will spend half of their working time on the effort," Schreter says. During this time, investors will see whether the business can still thrive without your daily oversight. If not, your business needs maintenance work more than new challenges; if it does thrive, however, you could be ready to move into the big time.

Hot Rods offer cool family fun
Police, locals represent at '13 World of Wheels
The World of Wheels rolled into town for its 33rd year at the Multi-Purpose Events Center over the weekend, continuing from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. today.
A car lover's dream, the World of Wheels is packed with cars from all over the county in all shapes and sizes, new and old. Along with that come the owners and their stories.
One man remains a constant at the show and has brought his talent to the World of Wheels the past 32 years. Pinstriper Steve Cox fell mistakenly into his business several years ago after a band asked him to make a banner for them — he liked to draw and pinstripe on paper during downtime.
"I found out it was a lot of fun, and less stressful than doing session work. I've been making my living at this solely since between 1972 and 1973," Cox said.
Cox is originally from Texas and at a young age moved to Southern California. Eventually he played guitar and became a studio musician for United Records in the early '60s, making $1.10 per hour.
He now lives in Abilene and pinstripes for a living. As a nursing major in college during the time of the Vietnam War, it's definitely a direction he didn't intend to take, he said.
He said at the moment he's most proud of the work he did on the back of a Corvette, turning it into a moving American flag. He said his mind will probably change by next week.
He also designed the decals for the Abilene Police Department, doing the first work by hand, then the rest were digitalized and turned into decals for the vehicles.
Cox uses airbrushing, but on bigger projects still does a lot of work by hand.
This year celebrities such as the American Hoggers, Teddy Good from the Mudcats, four-time Chili Bowl Champion Kevin Swindell and Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee made appearances for the event.
Senior Chairman Jeff Coley said they hope for rainy weather for the show because it brings more people out.
"The weather saves us. We like it to be beautiful on setup day, beautiful on the night we move out, and snowing or raining during the show," Coley said.
The indoor event provides go-kart racing events and lessons for kids, not just a car show, Coley said.
"We got a car from Eugene, Ore. A pretty little blue roadster on the front row," Coley said. "It's a good family event. We have vendors, toys for the kids, blowups ... we really have a lot to do for people to come out on a dreary day. The Wichita Falls Fire and Police Museum has a display this year."
The Wichita County Sheriff's Office brought their tank, while the Wichita Falls Police Department showed off its new Ford Interceptors. Six more are expected to roll out to patrol officers Monday.
Overall, Coley said the show brought out good numbers so far and expects another good crowd
Cody O'Neill and the Crosswinds band played a set Saturday night for entertainment as the show went on until 10 p.m.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 9 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by Weekendrider Strap Issues I thought this was the type of mirror that slips inside the handlebar, but instead it straps on (the strap is not shown in the pic online). So there is now a strap on the outside of the handlebar, which my hand sits on. Haven't found it terribly uncomfortable but others might, especially on longer rides. September 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Smcphail48 Does what it is supposed to do Does what it is supposed to do at a good price,would recomend to others April 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by GOLD1271 Easy on and off. Easy to adjust. Good viz. Smart purchase. Works on any style bike...well with handlebars. Won't work well on a unicycle! (Earth humor) June 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Phil Perfect Put this on my sea doo spark jet ski. Works great!! May 8, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by beth Uncomfortable This product was easy to install, pull a velcro strap through a plastic clip. It is also adjustable to the width of the bike handlebar grips. The mirror has a nice wide frame that allows you to get a better view from behind you. However, it has a flaw in that it is uncomfortable to use. I used it on a long bike ride and had bike gloves but the plastic clip hurts my hand as you are gripping the end of the handlebars. Also at times it shifts because your hand shifts on the handlebars so sometimes I can't get a good angle to see. I think I want to return it. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by CEM70 Inexpensive & effective First impression out of the box was that it was very cheaply made. However, it is just very light-weight, easy to install and works well. Simply velcro strap the device around the handle bar and adjust to your desired position. I've only used the product a few times, but it is easy to adjust while riding and holds it's position effectively (unless you steer into an object that causes it to shift). Recommend this product. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by David57 Performs better than expectation. Even though I have a mountain bike, I ride on paved bike trails in Albuquerque NM. Since I'm riding a bike for the first time in 20 years, other riders are going faster than I can go at this time. This mirror is low profile, very clear, and allows me to know when other riders are coming up from behind. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Barry MTB Mirror Once I figured out you can tighten it (duh), it has been a great addition to my bike when I am riding around my neighborhood July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Golfrook Mountain Bike Mirror I actually purchased this mirror so I could watch my infant when she's in her trailer behind my bike, and I love it. I went with this style because I didn't want to attach a mirror all of the time and I wanted one easy to take on/off. This is simple, you just slide it over your grip and it has velcro to hold it in place. It is also easy to adjust while you ride, so I could move the mirror to peek at my daughter, then move it to watch for upcoming traffic behind me (other cyclists on a bike path). This is an awesome mirror and I recommend it to anyone, regardless of what you're trying to see behind you! May 31, 2014

Gear Review
Cam Phillips
They are moist, dense, nutty, fruity, tasty, filling, and 100% vegan!
I absolutely love these bars. If you are like me, you just can't have all of the same bars on a backpacking trip. No matter how much you like Clif bars (or whatever), you will be sick of them soon if that's all you brought. I love having these ProBars for my rotation.
They are moist, dense, nutty, fruity, tasty, filling, and 100% vegan. Around 400 calories, they make a nice meal replacement (or supplement). I have enjoyed all the flavors I've had so far, with the "Old School PB&J" being my favorite, but this one is good.
They also work well to throw in your desk drawer at work for those busy days when you can't get away for lunch. I prefer to buy them as singles to make sure I like the flavor, but once you know, the box purchase is a good value. Do it. Get the Probar. Do it. :-)

9MPixel Atik 490EX
The Atik 490EX is one of the highest resolution camera from the four series, and one of the most flexible ones. Featuring the latest generation Sony™ EXview HAD CCD II™ technology in an area over twice as large than before, this camera has an outstanding Quantum Efficiency, very low noise and excellent thermal management. This model is an ideal match not only for Hyperstar systems, but also most small to midsize telescopes used by astrophotographers. It's excellent sensitivity and the possibility of binning while maintaining high pixel counts, makes it one of the best cameras for deep-sky astrophotography, with unrivalled flexibility.
The Atik 490EX fully supports 1.25″ filters down to f/2, so you won't need to replace any of your current investment in wheel or filters. This is an added advantage when looking to invest in a CCD camera that may go through multiple telescopes.
The Atik-4 Series cameras are a development of the renowned 3-Series cameras, featuring better cooling and narrower body. They benefit from setpoint cooling to make taking matching dark frames a snap, and simple 12V power requirement to facilitate field operation. The impressive sensitivity, great cooling and narrow profile, make the Atik Series 4 outstanding CCD cameras to use on modern telescopes, including Hyperstar/Fastar systems.
The Atik 490EX is the new standard for flexibility. Combining 9 million pixels with outstanding sensitivity and multiple binning levels, opens up the possibility of having a "one camera does all" concept. From small refractors to long focal lenght SCTs and RCs, the Atik 490EX is probably the only camera you'll ever need for all your telescopes.
What's in the box?
- Camera body with 1.25'' adapter
- 3-metre USB cable
- 1.8-metre battery power connector
- CD-ROM with drivers, software and user's manual (PDF)
- Quickstart guide (paper)
