At an altitude of more than 1,800 feet, this converted farmhouse is probably the loftiest luxury inn in Chianti. Its views are breathtaking, looking down on Volpaia and Radda, with Siena and the hills of southern Tuscany as a backdrop. The infinity pool, set on the hillside, takes full advantage of the magnificent panorama. Hosts Guido and Martina Bevilacqua are on hand to pamper you. Guest rooms are simple but tasteful, with high beamed ceilings, painted, as was once the tradition in these parts, in pale pastels. A minimum stay of two nights is required. To get here, take the bumpy gravel road 2 km (1 mi) northwest from Volpaia.

Martina and Guido have created an amazing ambience. The room was great, the view from the balcony even better, and the hospitality was amazing. Guido is a fantastic host, and Martina is quite the chef. We drank wonderful wines from their wine list, and Guido shared his home-made limoncello, as well as Nocino, which was outstanding. After dinner, the get-togethers in their lounge were so much fun. We plan to return ASAP. Please include La Locanda in
your guides.

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. We arrived Midweek and surprisingly were the only ones on the property, other than our fabulous hosts, for that evening. Guido and Martina asked if we wanted to share dinner with them - HOW COULD WE REFUSE? The dinner was sublime, Martina is a fabulous chef. We sat around having fabulous conversations, listening to amazing jazz, and drinking grappa and limoncello (oh how I love limoncello).
You owe yourself the drive to this quaint town, and as Fodor's review states the "magnificent panorama", but most of all visit La Locanda for the best of Italian hospitality. We will be going back this year!

Annotated Games & Essays
Every chess player who is serious about improving his game, should study the lessons of Aron Nimzowitsch (1886-1935). 'My System' (published in 1925) and 'Chess Praxis' (1928) had tremendous impact and made Nimzowitsch one of the most influential chess thinkers of the 20th century. His books continue to be printed, sold and read to this day. Reinhardt's collection starts where Nimzowitsch's second volume Chess Praxis ends. It offers a unique view of the chess world of the late 1920s and 1930s, its top tournaments and the state of theory.

Bobby Fischer Comes Home
The Most Famous Chess Player Explained
Bobby Fischer's lone fight against the Soviet chess powerhouse made him a global hero, also for people who did not play chess at all. The Russians trembled before him, the Americans and the rest of the world cheered him on. Fischer's chess prowess and his will to win were unparalleled. But so were his eccentric behaviour and his paranoia. After he won the world title, Bobby Fischer vanished and the former prodigy became a mystery. The memories of his successwere clouded by his anti-American and anti-Semite rants.

Stress induced labor?

Oh and do NOT engage in the drama. That's really the best thing I can say. Avoid and let them do what they will do.
My pregger mantra - "EVERY pregnancy is different!"
Yes, a bath....read a good book or watch funny tv. Surround yourself with people you enjoy being around, who lift you up and distraction always helps me. Try to remember everyone has crazy family stuff and try to let it go and know it will pass. Everything horrible passes. I hear you though there is always something crazy going on in my family too, on both sides. So its best to just focus on your LO and upcoming delivery as that is where all your energy needs to be. :)
My mom is controlling, she likes to take charge of everything I do and have her say about everything! Her and her sisters are always in the middle of some type of drama too. Then on my dad's side...people are fairly normal (no drama) but my mom always has a way to start a little something with them too!! Ughhh...its so annoying. Just try to separate a bit and spend some time apart to recoup. Mom's can be so annoying I swear mother daughter relationships are so hard!! I just try to focus on my little family unit...me and hubbs and new baby! That always gets me in a good mood :)

1999 Chrysler Sebring Q&A
1999 Chrysler Sebring Question: when replacing dist will the rotor set right at nr 1 or will it be a little past
just bought car and was told it was out of time and the other guy had the dist out of it timng belt good and tight but will not fire thanks bob - bob1938
Answer 1
Was the car running when you bought it? IF not , forget about the timing belt being 'nice and tight' and make sure it's lined up properly!! From what I've been able to find , the distributor should only go in one way. If the timing belt was not properly lined up then that could be the cause of the rotor not being where it should be(should still get spark though). Did the timing belt break , and that's why it was replaced? IF so , then check that it's installed properly first and then do a compression test and make sure you don't have bent valves.----it's listed as an 'interference engine'. - ziptie12

permitted concentration range for each element, and the discrimination of the analytical technique for each. Considering the thousands of "batches" of lead produced over a number of years, there is a reasonably high probability that some will repeat. However, the probability that any given composition would repeat within the next several years could be expected to be quite low. Furthermore, the likelihood that such a coincidental match would occur from such a source and appear in a given case would be smaller still.
In summary, a CIVL would be large in comparison with the amount of lead in the ammunition in the possession of a typical single purchaser. Thus, multiple people would be expected to have ammunition with the same lead composition. It is not known how many of these would be in the same geographic area. As time passes and some of the ammunition is used, the likelihood of a false association because of the distribution of ammunition with lead from the same CIVL would decrease.
If several evidence bullets in a case have similar but distinguishable compositions, and each of these compositions has a counterpart in a known source, such as a box of ammunition, the association would be stronger.

Re: I guess I'm a tad confused (regarding lossless audio)
Personally I am only interested in 6.1, and for gaming only. Surround is supposed to add ambiance to movies, and isn't really supposed to draw attention from what is being seen on the screen, otherwise it can be somewhat distracting. For that, 5.1 is sufficient IMO.
Games are a different story. With games you need to be able to use the surround speakers to be able to pinpoint the location of the sound, and it should have every bit of clarity in the rear as it does in the front. That said, IMO, it would probably be best to have a front left and right, with a center tweeter, and have the same configuration for the rear. While it could be beneficial to have some far rear speakers, you'd still want that tweeter in there somewhere IMO, pushing for an 8.1 setup if such a thing existed.
Unfortunately for us HT users, DDL doesn't do 6.1. Hopefully the Auzentech Prelude will include DTS support. (sounds like the developers are still undecided on that one)

Checking in on the busy world of John McCauley
CORPUS CHRISTI - John McCauley III has been one busy guy during the past year and a half. First he teamed up with Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit to form a group called Middle Brother, which released an acclaimed CD in March 2011.
Then he got back to work with Deer Tick and made that group's most rocking CD to date, "Divine Providence," which was released last summer. That was followed this past February by an EP, "Tim," which featured songs left over from the "Divine Providence" session.
Now comes a third project — the self-titled debut CD from another side band, Diamond Rugs. He put that group together recently with his Deer Tick bandmate Robbie Crowell, Hardy Morris of the Dead Confederates, Ian Saint Pe of the Black Lips, Bryan Dufresne of Six Finger Satellite and Steve Berlin of Los Lobos.
"I'm really happy with that record," McCauley said of the "Diamond Rugs" CD. "We're excited to see how it does. We're going to have to wait for there to be a tour of any kind. There are too many schedules to get together. But everybody wants to do it. Everybody's already talking about another record. It will happen. But we're just going to have to play it by ear."

A fascinating article about the city of Cudahy, to the southwest of us, by LA Weekly's Jeffrey Anderson mentions Baldwin Park Councilman David Olivas, and not in a good way:
"The methods of Beltran, Leal and Olivas left a mark on their former law partner Jesse Jauregui, who broke all ties with the group in 2001. Jauregui has this and only this to say about his old colleagues: Im glad to no longer be a part of Tammany Hallstyle politics. How far it goes, I do not know. It became a seamy situation.
The legal maneuvering that led to new leadership in Cudahy was part of a larger strategy, says former Cudahy councilwoman Araceli Gonzalez, a child of Mexican immigrants. They were very outspoken, says Gonzalez of the lawyers who advised Cudahy and Bell Gardens. They were telling people they were going to take over these cities and put Latinos in power.
Olivas, now in his own law practice while wearing two hats as Cudahy city attorney and councilman in Baldwin Park argues that the move to anoint Perez as Cudahy city manager was about Latino self-determination, and that change in leadership in small southeast L.A. County cities was for the better."

DrupalJam 2015, come for the Jam, stay for Drupal
We have got to learn to address humans. Not just humans who can code. That is, if we want to be a true community for a product. A product that is well designed and does attract both the business and the user to participate in the product, the process and hence the community.
Leaderers. Entrepeneurs. Visionaries. Testesters. Document writers. Project Managers, marketeers. To name just a few. Of course developers can also have the skills to do these jobs, an often overlooked fact. But someone who is "just" a marketeer, will not come for the code. (S)He might come for the job at hand, money that might be involved, the functionality, but the best reason why an external non developer should come to the community to help out, is the community that is helping her/him out. Not clean lines of code, but helping hands of love.
DrupalJam -organised by the Dutch Drupal foundation- will be held in Utrecht, April 30 and it really represents the helping hands -not just the lines of code- of the community. With keynotes from Bruce Lawson ( HTML fame), Marco Derksen (digital strategist, entrepreneur) and featured speakers like Jefrey Maguire (moustache fame, D8), Anton VanHouke (leading design agency in the NL, introduced scrum in to strategy and design), Stephan Hay (designer, writer) and Ben van 't Ende (Community Manager for the TYPO3 Asssociation).
The event will be held in an old industrial complex as can be seen in these shots
I am really looking forward to this event, it has a long tradition and always strengthened the community and brought in new blood. People who "Come for the business and stay for the community" Those who come of the need for design and stay for the love. Or love the functional and stay for organising the next DrupalJam.
PS: Now this head has rolled, it is time we decide what we do the body. If you have 5 minutes of your spare time, read this post and if you have one minute more, see this one from 2008 as well.
Drupal SplashAwards 2014
Both Drupal agencies and individuals who have achieved extraordinary results get special recognition from inside and outside the Drupal community. The international jury selects winners out of hundreds of contestants in several categories including best government project and best Drupal theme.
The jury includes well known people in the broader PHP and Drupal community from all around the world: Joost de Valk (SEO WP fame) , Moshe Weitzman (contributor since 2001), Jeffrey "jam" McGuire (evangelist with a mo), Holly Ross (Executive Director DA) , Morten Birch Heide-Jorgensen (enfant terrible and good friend :-)), Stefan Koopmanschap (PHP / Symfony guru from the Netherlands) , Guido Jansen (magento fame) and Robert Douglass (SOLR fame and most of all around friendly chap) will select the ten winners who will walk home along the canals with a great award and a smiling face.
There are 10 awards to be given, from architecture and commerce to best governmental site and theme. The award self will be held for some 100 people, in an old cinema in the centre of Amsterdam. We are really looking forward to this event. And in fact, it will be the last event of the year for the Dutch and a great year it has been.
From a record breaking DrupalJam, via the social events around DrupalCon to 100's of students getting a free training on the Drupal Training Day and now the bowtie SplashAwards, showing of the Dutch Drupal community never was better.

YIELD: Serves 6
Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter six 1-cup ramekins (4 by 2 inches) and coat with sugar, knocking out excess sugar.
Remove 30 raspberries and drain on paper towels. In a 3-quart saucepan stir together remaining raspberries with syrup, cornstarch, and vinegar. Simmer mixture, stirring, 3 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids. Stir in drained raspberries and cool mixture. Raspberry mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Separate eggs and in a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together yolks and 6 tablespoons sugar until thick and pale and mixture forms a ribbon when beater is lifted, about 5 minutes. Fold raspberry mixture into yolk mixture until just combined. In another large bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites with cream of tartar and a pinch salt until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until whites hold stiff peaks. Stir one fourth whites into raspberry mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
Divide soufflé mixture among ramekins and smooth tops with a knife. Run tip of knife around edges of soufflés to aid rising. Bake soufflés on a baking sheet in lower third of oven until puffed and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve soufflés immediately.

1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent, W-85901794 Cent Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. Fuld-4, W-8590. The Talbot, Allum & Lee cents are unusual among the post-Colonial pieces of British origin in that they actually circulated in the United States to a fairly wide extent. More than 200,000 of these cents are believed to have been struck as advertising tokens, most dated 1794, but a sizeable number were dated 1795. The majority of them were unused, and the firm ultimately sold 2,990 pounds of them (an estimated 140,000 to 150,000 tokens) to the U.S. Mint for use as half cent planchets.
High-Grade PR65 Red and Brown
High-Grade PR65 Red and Brown
This proof was obviously never intended for circulation, and the high grade attests to its careful preservation. The fields are deeply mirrored with no distracting marks. The surfaces are mostly red, with the Red and Brown designation from PCGS likely a result of the blue accents seen on both sides. A close inspection reveals some subtle evidence of die spalling (often called die rust), which makes one question whether this piece was really struck in 1794. Conder tokens, which include the Talbot, Allum & Lee pieces, were sometimes struck for several years (sometimes as long as a decade) after their nominal date for sale to collectors. As a proof, this piece was certainly made for collectors, and it is possible that it was struck a few years after 1794. An interesting specimen for further study. Listed on page 72 of the 2012 Guide Book. Population: 4 in 65 Red and Brown, 0 finer (9/11). (PCGS# 90635)

What a nail polish!
Usually not a fan of the Rimmel brand but wow this nail polish is incredible.
I paint my nails at night seeings as its the only time I ever get and usually always wake up with sheet marks. Not with this!! It actually does dry in 60 seconds and it comes in a great range of colours.
There is a downside though; you need three coats of most of the lighter colours which can become quite irritating.

I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed by this polish. Usually I don't expect much from drugstore polish, but I was intrigued by the "60 second" drying time and decided to give it a go.
I HATED the brush. I don't know if I just got a crappy one, but the bristles were really uneven. The brush was thick, which usually I like, but there was a clump of bristles in the middle that were longer than all the others, making the application quite messy and frustrating. This polish is supposed to be a one-coat deal, but I found that one coat of Stand To Attention (a deep, shiny red which I actually really liked) was slightly streaky and not flawless by any measure. I didn't want to put on a thicker coat, though, for fear of screwing up with the brush.
It dried in about the same time as after you apply a quick-dry top coat, but when I went to add another coat to even the colour out, that's when everything went wrong. It literally did not dry solid. In the hours that followed they smudged, dented and chipped like crazy. After about five hours, a quarter of it was chipped off completely. 24 hours later, I was still denting it by accident. I wasn't doing anything laborious, but I have never had polish wear so quickly and so terribly.
My guess is that the formula is just not meant to dry properly with more than one coat, so if you can pull off one coat of this polish, it might work much better. I didn't use a top coat, either, so that might help. As for me, though, I don't think this polish is worth it. I'd much rather go for a nice OPI red and load on the fast-dry top coat.

I don't typically buy Rimmel products because my experiences with their mascaras have not been pleasant ones. I bought one of these 60 second nail polishes and I liked it plenty, I got one at walmart for $1.50! :)
I liked these very much, that I've purchased at least 9 different colors! ♥

Love this nail polish! Yes two coats dried in less than 5 mins AND no smudges or ripples later on. I always paint my nails at night (only time I get!) and frequently wake up with "sheet patterns" the next morning. Not this time baby! I used Double Decker Bus red which is (to me) the perfect blue-red, maybe a touch darker than Revlon Red which I like. The brush is perfect - can really paint a whole nail in one swipe. Also no bubbles when it dries either. I usually add a clear hardner topcoat as I'm quite hard on my nails so cannot really vouch for durability. Mine usually last a week with no chips. Would definitely recommend it to impatient people like me! LOL

Although the price is fantastic - Nail polish is really a great example of the cost of a cosmetic item really reflecting the quality of the product. The cheaper it is, usually the longer it takes to dry, the more it chips and the thinner it looks.
Nothing beats a nail polish that has a perfect finish after only one layer and with this product, it would have been...decent...with only one layer, but it really didn't have that salon-quality finish that i enjoy. So, being the perfectionist that I am - I waited during the "60 second" drying time to apply another layer. 60 hand-flapping and blow drying seconds later, i applied another layer (I wasn't taking the 60 seconds too literally - the product did ACTUALLY appear reasonably dry). The second layer definitely gave it the extra salon quality thickness i initially desired after the first layer. Unfortunately, "60 seconds" later and the product is not dry. I'd say the actual drying time after two layers was closer to 15-20 minutes for complete dig-your-nail-in-and-there-isn't-a-dent dryness. And although as previously mentioned - I'm a perfectionist...It looks perfect...I just wish I had the patience to enjoy the wait. Afterall, 60 seconds was the promise. But was it a guarantee? Apparently not.
Anyway - a work day down, a full nights sleep, 2 showers and makeup and hair styling etc complete...My nails are oookkkayish - If i hold my hands far away from my face and i maybe squint a little. Slightly chipped and uneven from the awkward length of drying time. Apparently a product that can't handle an additional layer.. weak.
The colour i chose was "caramel cupcake" which is actually a really nice colour (in the bottle). So kudos for that...i think?
On the back of the bottle, it does say it is a "one coat" nail polish. But i'm sorry Rimmel, one coat was just too transparent.
But all in all - 60 seconds - One coat ... It does just that. Dries in 60 seconds.
BUT HEAR MY WARNING MY FELLOW MAKEUPALLYERS apply another coat and don't say i didn't tell you so.
But, hey. if you're into the whole transparent color on nail game, be my guest. Not for me.

I have bought so many of these! I absolutely love them, they're by far the best nail polish I've ever tried (Gosh, NYC, L'oreal, Boots 7, Barry M to name a few I can think of).
The range of colours is amazing, they dry so quickly and don't gloop or get sticky as they're drying. They're definitely the most chip resistant nail polish I've come across. I'm hard on my hands so at most I get three days but at lot of others I barely get one!
For the price, they are well worth it!

I love the brush, that most shades are opaque in one coat, and the dry time, but I don't like the finish this polish gives me. if I didn't have to use my seche I would give it five lippies, but overall a good polish.

Wow Rimmel, fantastic job! I got this in Vinyl Stars Movie Star, and it\s a bright red somthered in small shimmery sparkles. Gorgeous! I do have another shade, Torrid, I think but I haven\t tried it yet. I love how fast Movie Star dries, but it doesn't take 60 seconds if you use a second coat, although one coat looks beautiful by itself. It was rather goopy unfortunately and sometimes I messed up because of the thickness. But i got through it and it has been about 12 hours since I put it on with no signs of chipping (THANK GOD) makes me look really feminine. It takes a bit of remover to get rid of it but that\s okay, I have plenty of remover. I suggest putting a drop of polish thinner before you use it to avoid this kind of mess later XD.

Citizens group, Got Sol, with $185,000 of bipartisan support from 27 legislators, proposed to design and construct a solar system for the state's Government Complex buildings. The funding provides immediate start-up costs to construct a solar system to provide electricity for the Roundhouse, the heart of the Government Complex.
This shovel-ready project can offset 20 percent, or more of the roughly $60,000 it costs to power the Capitol Complex a month. We, the taxpayers, are responsible for that electric bill month after month. This cost-saving measure will pay for itself in three to six years reducing that charge for taxpayers.
Got Sol emerged from the 2012 New Mexico Climate Masters class in Santa Fe. The group agreed to donate 30 volunteer hours to educate New Mexicans about alternative energy and provide solar leadership.

Deflation fears, the Yellen Fed, China, income inequality, Europe's still-troubled banks, and a steady flow of snark and indignation: That's right, the World Economic Forum's annual meeting gets underway Wednesday in Davos and runs through Saturday.
Here are 10 of the big shots whose words will have the potential to move markets and dominate headlines at the exclusive and oft-maligned gathering in a remote resort town in the Swiss Alps.
— William L. Watts at @wlwatts
More on Davos:
Income inequality biggest risk facing world, says World Economic Forum
'Rich Kids of Beverly Hills' has a message for Davos leaders
James Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein
While the Geneva-based WEF think tank pursues lofty ideals, the Davos annual meeting has often been criticized as a sanctuary for elite bankers and other highflying C-suite denizens to rub elbows with each other and world leaders. Bankers laid relatively low in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, but were soon back to try to plead their case.
Last year, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.81% CEO James Dimon used the event to protest that regulators were being overly aggressive and moving too fast, while arguing that banks had got a bum rap. He also offered something near to an apology over the "London Whale" fiasco.
The highest echelons of the banking fraternity will be represented this year. In addition to Dimon, look for Goldman Sachs Group GS, -0.35% CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Bank of America Corp. BAC, -1.10% CEO Brian Moynihan, Deutsche Bank DB, +1.19% co-CEO Anshu Jain and others.
(at left, James Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein)
Marissa Mayer
It isn't all banking and finance. After all, a belief in the transformative, globalizing power of technology is a tenet of the Davos mind-set. The chief Yahoo YHOO, +0.13% Marissa Mayer, is a co-chair of this year's event. Other high-profile techies in attendance include Facebook FB, +0.43% COO Sheryl Sandberg, Cisco Systems CSCO, -0.07% CEO John Chambers and Google GOOG, +0.30% Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt.
We'll see if Mayer gets any questions over the recent, high-profile exit of chief operating officer Henrique de Castro after just 15 months on the job. But the Davos sessions will be focused on broader questions, including a Saturday session featuring former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers that debates the long-overdue question of whether technological innovation is driving a rise in joblessness.
Ray Dalio
The founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates is one of several high-profile investors who will be in the spotlight at Davos and, no doubt, in interviews on the sidelines of the meeting. Last year, Dalio laid out a bullish case for stocks as well as other assets as investors reacted to "terrible" returns on cash and bonds.
Hedge-fund legend George Soros, no shrinking violet himself, is set to attend. Other notable finance heavyweights include Paul Singer, founder of hedge fund Elliott Management Corp., and private-equity honchos Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone Group BX, +0.98% and David Rubenstein of the Carlyle Group. CG, +1.49%
Joseph Stiglitz
By one count, at least 70 billionaires will be descending on Davos this week. While behind-closed-doors networking and deal making often seems to be on top of the agenda, income inequality appears likely to be a key theme. The issue was again identified as the most likely threat to global stability in an annual WEF report last week.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who contends that inequality is largely the result of political choices,will be one high-profile speaker on the subject.
Christine Lagarde
The International Monetary Fund chief is a Davos regular. She made big headlines in 2011 when the then-French finance minister spurned a thank-you from then-Barclays CEO Robert Diamond, saying gratitude would better be served by increased lending, a better grip on compensation and higher capital levels.
Lagarde, in her role as head of the IMF, has used Davos to rail against an emphasis on austerity and a lack of focus on growth in Europe. Expect her to keep pressure on central banks to fight the threat of deflation, which she earlier this month called a growth-threatening "ogre that must be fought decisively."
Mario Draghi
Europe's debt problems remain on the back burner. Most of the credit goes to the ECB chief, whose "whatever-it-takes" pledge in the summer of 2012 and a subsequent bond-buying plan (that remains untested) has managed to put a lid on Spanish and Italian government bond yields. But while the region has enjoyed a tentative return to growth, inflation is running well below target, contributing to deflation fears.
Draghi is set to talk about the "path from crisis to stability" on Friday. It's a safe bet traders will be looking for any clues the ECB is ready to take further action.
Shinzo Abe
Japan's prime minister has been a very busy man since last year's annual meeting. He's followed through on an election pledge to see the Bank of Japan undertake aggressive quantitative easing in an effort to break a long deflationary spiral, while also undertaking aggressive fiscal stimulus efforts. The Bank of Japan is also holding a policy meeting on January 21 and 22.
Japanese equities soared last year and the yen dropped. Abe, who will address the annual meeting on Wednesday, is under pressure to follow up his efforts with structural reforms.
Jiang Jianqing
The chairman of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is another of this year's Davos co-chairs. Chinese executives and media have been a growing presence for years, in keeping with China's ever more influential role in the world economy.
Investors pay close attention for clues to the state of the Chinese economy and policy. Other high-profile attendees include Sun Yafang, the chairwoman of Huawei Technologies and one of the country's most powerful businesswomen, and Gao Xiqing, president of China Investment Corp., the country's powerful sovereign-wealth fund.
Hasan Rouhani
Davos has often provided a backdrop for Middle East political developments, though not always in a good way. A rare blowup in 2009 saw Turkish Prime Minister Recip Tayyip Erdogan storm offstage after an argument with Israeli President Shimon Peres over the Gaza conflict.
This year, Iranian President Hasan Rouhani is scheduled to address the annual meeting and perhaps court potential investors after world powers and Iran agreed earlier this month to begin implementing a pact to ease sanctions against Tehran in return for Iran curbing its nuclear program.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will also attend. Netanyahu said he might "consider" a meeting with Rouhani if Tehran says it's willing to recognize Israel, news reports said.

What kind of battery for adventuring, is Lithium up to the challenge?

2) Unknown. It will reduce the heck out of stator temp anytime your battery and equipment are not pulling full load. Will it cause electrical interference with other items? Resonate or over voltage the stator insulation? Probably not, but I don't know for certain.
3) Yes! It's impossible for me to calculate. I lack the mathematics and even with them, things of this complexity require full scale testing to quantify. You have inductive reactance, capacitive reactance, eddy currents, magnetic saturation, and resistance, thermal conduction, convection, and radiation just to name the major players. My slightly educated guess is it might drop the stator temp 3c. That is something because the effect temperature has on magnet wire insulation is anything but linear.
What I really suspect is that a little resistance is going to have to be added to each of the 3 wires between the stator and voltage regulator. Once again complex, but a better educated guess is about 0.2 ohms, which should derate the stator output to around 370 watts by my calculations and assumptions.
Thanks Joel!
I've been out riding for the last few days on the coast ... no e-mail
The 0.2 ohm series resistors would be an "easy" fix maybe ...
I started thinking about wattage .... To produce 400W each stator leg needs to be putting out about ~9.5A
9.5A^2 * 0.2 ohms = 18W or 54W total ...
That's a high-side and simplistic estimate done by by a guy with very rusty EE skills.
It got me thinking that the size of the heat sink on the stock R/R does not seem any too "generous" in size given that it needs to be able to disappate something like ~250W of surplus output from the stator when nothing was drawing power on the bike other than basic requirements & low beam headlight.
I hope one of your R/R mfg. buddies comes up with something nice - thanks for asking them!
As another data point, my F650GS which is now 3.5yrs old and has a new Deka battery installed reads as follows

That's because it hasn't happened since 1998, four years before he took over the team. In that season, West Oso went on to win its first five games and finished 11-2, losing to Sweeny 31-18 in the Class 3A Division II regional semifinals.
Guess doesn't know how this season might turn out, but isn't surprised by the way it's going so far.
"I don't think it's as much a surprise to us as it is to everybody else," said Guess, whose team plays at Flour Bluff tonight. "Going in, we expected to do some good things. We knew that non-district was going to be tough and that it was only going to get tougher, but the kids have the notion that nobody can beat them. That's the way they're playing right now."
It made a difference last week against Port Isabel.
West Oso pulled out a 20-14 victory in overtime. The Bears led 14-7 after three quarters, but Port Isabel scored late in the fourth to tie the game.
A 12-yard touchdown run by Rafael Campos eventually won the game for West Oso, which helped erase two years of frustration against the Tarpons.
The teams first met up in 2005, with Port Isabel posting a 41-14 win in the first round of the Division II playoffs. Last year, the Tarpons scored 20 points in the fourth quarter to rally for a 27-19 non-district victory.
West Oso didn't let it slip away this time.
"They just kept coming," Port Isabel coach Monty Stumbaugh said. "Last year we kind of wore them down and had the chance to do the same again, but we couldn't do it. I was impressed with how hard they played. They played with a little extra oomph. They just wanted it more than we did."
The key to West Oso's success isn't a big secret.
"It's a result of sticking together and becoming a team," sophomore linebacker John Baldwin said. "When you play as a team, you're able to do a lot more things."
Guess is in agreement.
"These guys are all friends and hang out all the time," he said. "Everything they do includes each other. This team is like a family."
Together, the Bears opened the season with a 33-0 win over Falfurrias. The bus broke down on the way to Zapata the following week, but the team returned home 25-13 winners.
Against Port Isabel, West Oso continued to benefit from its ground game, which features two swift running backs -- juniors Shedrick Howard and David Foxx.
The two are nearly equal in yards, with Howard having rushed for 302 and five touchdowns on 37 carries. Foxx, meanwhile, has 22 attempts for 296 yards and two scores.
With Howard and Foxx in the lineup, senior quarterback P.J. Lopez doesn't have as much to worry about.
"They're a big help," he said. "When the line is blocking, they can get some big yards. If not, they still have the skills to make something happen."
Stumbaugh knows first hand after watching Foxx rush for 141 yards and Howard for 76 last Friday.
"Those kids played really hard," he said. "I always knew they had a good team. People might underestimate them, but they have a lot of talent over there."
