Got to go out today. Did about 60 miles and it felt great. Engine pulls from way down low, it has loads of power, and maybe a slight increase in vibrations.
Then came a problem....
On the highway coming back home, i was holding a steady 80 mph for about a minute. Just then, I heard a loud metal sound coming from below me, and the engine felt like it lost a bunch of power. I pulled over and it died. Before getting off the bike, I tried to restart it, and it started, but wouldn't idle. I got off the bike, and listened. It sounds like its coming from the right side, maybe the valves. Since the bike was running, i decided to just go home. It was about 15 miles at 45-60 mph. The metal noise continued to chime but much lower. If I revved the engine, it got louder. I got home and the bike was able to idle. The noise was still there.
I hope that its just a valve came loose and the nut is siting on top of the engine. I haven't opened it, as its way too hot to get in there. Any suggestions if its not the valve? It could be anything, I think the noise is on the right side, but it might not be. Also the engine oil temps during the whole ride ranged from 150*-190*F. I have a plate over my oil cooler, since its in the 30's today. The temps did not increase after this incident.

Basically when I include and use a file uploader in my form it seems to cancel out the :remote => true functionality and processes the action as HTML in place of JS. any ideas?
I was just faced with the same issue and found the following alternatives to make it work:
Gem remotipart => http://www.alfajango.com/blog/rails-3-ajax-file-uploads-with-remotipart/
jQuery Plugin 'jaxy' => https://github.com/adamlogic/jquery-jaxy
I think I like the first option better. But it's good to have options. =)
for jquery: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload
AJAX image uploads do not work, at least not in the standard way.
There are newer, HTML5 techniques that make it work, and workarounds using
There is a great library that does multiple file ajax upload with progress meter and degrades to use different techniques depending on the browser.
AJAX Upload library: http://valums.com/ajax-upload/
It will require a little extra work, but the result can be really nice!
You can also use Flash plugins like uploadify

Cutting energy consumption: Is prepay the way to go?
By: SGN Staff
An analysis of the relationship between prepaid energy services and electricity consumption came up with some surprising results: participation in prepay plans has a significant impact on electricity use. DEFG, a management consulting company focused on energy, says participation in prepaid energy services resulted in average reductions in energy use of 11%.
DEFG launched the Prepay Energy Working Group in 2010 and working with an economist, the Oklahoma Electric Cooperative and other participants and stakeholders on the analysis. The economist, Michael Ozog, used accepted techniques in evaluating utility-led energy efficiency programs to identify the effect of prepaid services on electricity use.
"The major finding is that participation in prepaid energy services results in an average reduction in energy usage of 11%," said Cindy O'Dwyer, DEFG VP and working group leader. "Relative to other common energy efficiency measures, that is a large number and is achievable without a significant outlay by the customer in equipment. Nothing in the current portfolio really compares to prepaid energy in regard to the size of the impact, speed and cost-effectiveness."
DEFG made it clear that the 11% reduction occurred while customers' service was connected, and not attributable to service disruption. An 11% cut in monthly bills for Oklahoma Electric Cooperative's customers would theoretically mean an annual savings of $192 per customer.
"This study supports the notion that regular communication providing timely data where usage is tied to dollars and cents is key to a shift in consumer energy consumption," said DEFG CEO Jamie Wimberly. "Prepaid service operates as a consumer platform for both energy and budget management."

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
For most of Gwinnett's seniors who made their college selections on Wednesday, National Signing Day represented an end to the recruiting process.For Parkview running back Brandon Jacobs, who sent in his National Letter of Intent to Auburn early in the day, Wednesday is only the beginning of what figures to be a long period of decision. With his stock rising as a prospect in this summer's Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, the decision whether to jump to pro baseball or stay with football will be a tough one. However, the 6-foot-2, 230-pound running back/linebacker/outfielder also knows signing his letter of intent on Wednesday not only broadens his options, but also puts him in a position of strength when he begins negotiating with any major league organization that may draft him in June. "I think it gives me more leverage," Jacobs said. "It's nice to have (the option of football) for sure." Exactly what decision Jacobs makes may depend on what round he is taken in the baseball draft and what kind of financial offer that may entail, though he says for now, he's keeping his options open. "I've heard (from some projections) I could go in the third or fourth round, but it's not so much the round as the money (that may be available)," Jacobs said. "It's something my parents and I will have to sit down and talk about and decide." Change of heart Central Gwinnett offensive lineman Kaycee Ike apparently had a last-minute change of heart with his college decision. The 6-5, 243-pound tackle had given a verbal commitment to be part of Georgia State's historic first signing class over the holidays, but signed instead with Alabama-Birmingham of Conference USA on Wednesday. Big-play Black Knights still looking Two of Ike's high-profile Central teammates are still weighing their college options. Running back Diante Drake, who led all Gwinnett running backs by averaging 153.6 yards per game last fall, is likely headed for a junior college, and will visit East Central Community College in Decatur, Miss., soon, according to Central head coach Ed Stokes. Stokes also said receiver Malcolm Moulton is looking at several different schools. Moulton and Drake are hoping to join Ike and three other Black Knight teammates who did sign Wednesday - guard Edmund Kugbila (Valdosta State), safety Khary Powell (Fordham) and noseguard Justin Kelly (Coffeyville (Kan.) CC). More waiting games Peachtree Ridge's Vincent Brown is experiencing one of the unique aspects of signing with a smaller school. The 6-0, 205-pound safety has an offer for a full scholarship from Lenoir-Rhyne College in North Carolina, but is also weighing an option to go to Division III Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Like all Division III schools, Carnegie Mellon does not offer athletic scholarships, but can work out other financial aid arrangements for athletes who qualify academically. "They hadn't told him how much (aid) he'd get because he had to (be accepted) first," Peachtree Ridge coach Bill Ballard said. "He found out (Tuesday) night that he'd gotten in. So, he's waiting to see how much (aid) they're going to offer before he makes a decision - probably by the end of this week or early next week." Auburn too late for Whigham Shiloh's Cameron Whigham signed with Ole Miss on Wednesday, but it was a tough decision for the defensive end. Whigham was offered by Auburn a couple of weeks ago after the senior had already committed to Ole Miss. Had the Auburn offer come sooner, Whigham might be have been playing on the plains next season. "That's the first school I wanted to go to in the SEC," Whigham said of Auburn. "But Ole Miss seemed like a better opportunity for me and I felt like it was a better chance for me to do what I want to do." Whigham said he was impressed with what head coach Houston Nutt did in his first year at Ole Miss. Nutt led the Rebels to a 9-4 record and a Cotton Bowl win. Whigham is the first Division I signee for the Generals since Davey Pollack in 2001. Whigham was joined by Max Allen (Birmingham Southern), Sejean Hart (Alabama State) and Kadeem Boyd, Guy Holmes and Gerrard Stepp, who signed with Louisberg College. "We always talked about going to play football in college, but never together," Boyd said. "So it's was kind of a surprise for us. It's real special." Broncos' Williams: Saban 'a real great coach' Fans around the SEC typically don't have kind words for Alabama head coach Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide coach is often referred to as Nick Satan and other derogatory names. Brookwood offensive lineman Kellen Williams has a different point of view after signing with Alabama on Wednesday. "I think the fans don't understand that he's hard with the media, but once you are committed and he gets to know you he's real personable," Williams said. "He's actually a real nice guy. I'm sure I'll see some sides of him like yelling and screaming when you mess up, but other than that he's a real great coach and knows what he's talking about. He's not the way he comes across in the media." Williams was a Daily Post All-County selection, leading the Broncos to the Class AAAAA state playoffs last season and hopes to make an early impact in Tuscaloosa. "This summer I'm going to bust my tail and hopefully make the two-deep depth chart and travel with the team," Williams said. "If worst comes to worst and I redshirt, I wouldn't mind a redshirt, it's just an extra semester of college." Tough UGA workout doesn't keep Lee from Buford Dallas Lee's Wednesday morning routine was tougher than most. He had two big events - Buford's signing celebration and his first set of mat drills at Georgia. The big lineman graduated high school early and enrolled at Georgia last month, but returned to Buford for the signing ceremony with his classmates. Lee wasn't sore yet, but he planned to be today. "I know a bunch of coaches about killed him this morning," Buford head coach Jess Simpson joked of college football's notoriously tough workouts. "That was hard," Lee said of the mat drills. "It was freezing walking over. It felt like about 10 degrees. It was miserable. And then coming out soaking wet. It was rough." Good for the family Buford senior Blake Bennett had a wide variety of offers, but his favorite school also worked out best for his family. The 6-foot-3, 265-pounder signed with Wofford, where his older brother Landon (who played at GAC) is on the football team. Now the Bennetts won't be faced with splitting up on college football Saturdays. The younger Bennett became a popular recruiting prospect with a standout senior year, making up for missing most of his junior season with a knee injury. His 40-yard dash time of 4.68 seconds is particularly impressive for a player his size. Devils get their due Norcross led the county with 10 college signings on Wednesday, celebrating the occasion at the Blue Devils' Duke House. The senior class was highlighted by heavily recruited D.J. Adams (Maryland) and Prince Kent (Miami). It also featured a late decision by defensive lineman Wesley Hollingshed, who decided on Nevada. Growing pains Mill Creek was forced to move its signing day celebration from its usual location - the Hawks' team room in the fieldhouse. That room would have been too small this year because the team had a school-best five signees, forcing a switch to the media center. The ceremony honored Micah James, Jordan Johnson, Davis Moore, James Powell and Ryan Robinson, but the Hawks' list will grow to six next week when Ed Russ signs with West Georgia.

Judge Mary McCaffrey ruled that Mr. Becker had to pay a $500 fine and court costs; the total fee came to $638.50.
Barrington police arrested Mr. Becker, a physician and Brown University professor, on July 30, after he allegedly hosted a large underage drinking party at his home to celebrate his son's 18th birthday.
Police received a phone call from a neighbor at about 10 p.m. due to loud music coming from the property. The first officer to arrive on scene noticed some cars parked along the road near the home, and along the driveway.
He then reportedly spotted three teenage boys walking toward his cruiser — two of the boys were carrying beer and dropped the cans when they saw the officer.
A few moments later, as the officer neared the home, he reportedly spotted Mr. Becker whom he recognized. The officer stated that Mr. Becker than ran toward the rear of the residence and shouted "Oh my God, the police are here! Everyone run!"

Hedge End is a town and civil parish in Hampshire, England. Situated to the east of the City of Southampton, it adjoins the districts of West End and Botley. Hedge End lies within the Borough of Eastleigh and is part of the Southampton Urban Area. The original hamlet developed on Botley Common after 1250 when it was granted to the men of Botley as common pasture. In 1267, royal charters allowed Botley to hold an annual fair and a weekly market on the common which eventually became a market town.
The Belgae tribe inhabited the Hedge End area prior to the Roman conquest.[1] A Roman road from Clausentum (a fortified harbour in what is now Bitterne, Southampton) passed through the area on route to Portus Adurni (Portchester Castle) and Noviomagus Reginorum (Chichester).[2][3] The crossing of the River Itchen at Mansbridge and the crossing of the River Hamble at Botley date to AD932.[2][4] The road that linked those two river crossings would have followed the approximate route of the modern Grange Road.[2] From Mansbridge, it is 4 miles (6.4 km) to the port of Southampton and 12 miles (19 km) to Winchester, which was for a period the capital of England. Kings of England owned hunting land at King's Copse (originally known as King's Forest).[2]
Farming at the Manor of Shamblehurst is mentioned in a record dating to 1219.[2] Although this area is within the boundary of modern Hedge End, the original hamlet of Hedge End first established itself on Botley Common. This land was granted to the men of Botley as common pasture in 1250.[2] That area is towards the bottom of the hill that rises up to Netley Common and is rich with natural streams and springs. Prior to the Erection of Cottages Act 1588, an Englishman could build his house on common land if he could raise the roof over his head and have a fire in the hearth between sunrise and sunset and claim the dwelling as his home. That procedure and the presence of a reliable water supply would have allowed a few dwellings to become established on Botley Common from 1250 onwards.
In 1267, royal charters allowed Botley to hold an annual fair and a weekly market.[2] It became a market town.[2] The inhabitants of Botley Common would have found the proximity of that market and the mills at Botley and Bursledon to be conveniently situated.
The Manor of Shamblehurst died out in the sixteenth century.[2] Botleigh Grange was built in the 16th century[5] on land that was formerly part of the Manor of Shamblehurst.[2]
The origin of the name Hedge End is not known for certain, but it was clearly in use by the beginning of the 18th century. There is an explicit reference to Hedge End in a Court Baron held at Botley Manor on 19 May 1735,[2] concerning the tenancy of a cottage and garden at Hedge End. There is further reference to dating to 1764 concerning a £10 fine for taking in part of the common at Hedge End.[2] Hedge End is also marked on a 1759 map of Southampton.[5]
The Enclosure Acts ended the system of open farming on common land. Such land was required to be fenced in and title-deeded. This allowed a number of farms to establish themselves in the Hedge End area during the late 18th and 19th centuries.[2]
Growing into a village[edit]
The development of two new roads to serve the toll bridges at Northam and Woolston brought travellers closer to Hedge End.[2] Northam road was opened in 1799, with a tollgate at Hedge End.[citation needed] In 1839, another new road was built to provide access to the Floating Bridge at Woolston.[2] This new road cut through the centre of Botley Common, opening the way for further development. In modern Hedge End this is St. Johns Road.
An Enclosure Act of 1863–1865 formally divided Botley Common into plots.[2] Some plots were used for development, 2 acres (8,100 m2) were for allotments and 3 acres (12,000 m2) were assigned to the lord of the manor, William Warner to be used for a Recreation Ground.[2]
St. John's School was built in 1863, admitting its first 13 children on 18 January 1864.[2] By 1885, the building had been enlarged twice.[2] By 1888, the building was also used as a library.[2]
St. John's Church was consecrated on 15 July 1874.[2] In February 1876, St. Johns, Hedge End was constituted as a separate parish for ecclesiastical purposes.[2][6]
A sub-post office was established on 2 August 1894.[2] Hedge End was constituted a civil parish at its inaugural meeting on 14 December 1894.[2] In 1895, the parish took over responsibility for the recreation ground.[2] The recreation ground between St Johns Road and Bursledon road is all that remains of Botley Common.
In the late 19th Century, Hedge End, like many neighbouring villages in the area, was a strawberry growing area. Its produce was despatched to London and Scotland by train service from Botley station.[2]
St. John's Room was built in 1907, which was the church hall until the Underhill Centre (Named after the Reverend Mervyn Spenser Underhill, Vicar of St Johns Church 1961-1994) was opened in 2002. St. John's Room now serves as a day nursery for small children.
Wartime history[edit]
To avoid the air-raids, some of Southampton's citizens rented accommodation or otherwise sought shelter in Hedge End during World War II.[7] In 1943 and 1944, during the build-up to D-Day and the invasion of Europe, Hedge End was on the outermost edge of a huge marshalling site set up in Hampshire by the military, known as Area C with the nearest camp, camp C3, located at Netley Common.[8] Hedge End was actually part of sub-area Z within Area C.[8] St Johns Road and Upper Northam Road are shown on a military map dated 1 May 1944 as being operational routes for the flow of military vehicles around the area.[8] Upper Northam Road is also recorded on that map as being used as a vehicle park.[8]
Hedge End was situated within Regulated Area (No 2) established 31 March 1944,[7] which placed restrictions on the movement of people in the final build-up to D-Day.[7]
A V-1 flying bomb fell on HMS Cricket, a military camp just outside Hedge End on 15 July 1944.[9]
Becoming a town[edit]
Development of another new road, the M27 motorway enabled Hedge End to expand further in the final two decades of the 20th century, although as a Southampton suburb, rapid development had commenced in the two decades before the arrival of the motorway.
Hedge End is situated near Junctions 7 and 8 of the motorway. With good access to the new infrastructure, there was rapid expansion of the village with office parks, out-of-town superstores and new residential areas.
The most recent major development in Hedge End has been that of Grange Park, situated to the north and east of the village centre. It has continued to grow extensively for several years, and now includes an extensive public park at Dowd's Farm. In the early 1990s the village gained Hedge End railway station opened by British Rail, a stop on the Eastleigh-Portsmouth line. In 1992 the parish council renamed itself as a town council.
Hedge End is twinned with Comines-Warneton, in Belgium. The twinning charter was signed in 1994, but very little twinning activity takes place.
On 22 May 2011 Marwell Wildlife was called in by Hampshire Constabulary to advise how to tranquilise a white tiger lurking in grass in the village. The tiger turned out to be a life-size cuddly toy.[10]
The population grew rapidly from an estimated 1,000 in the 1950s to around 17,978 in 2001. New residential areas are still under development. The Hedge End population has continued to grow, and now exceeds 20,000, with new houses having been built at the former Dodd's Farm site adjacent to Grange Park, next to Kings Copse and Cranbourne Park.[11]
The nearby village of Botley was better established than Hedge End, but when the M27 was built, living close to the new motorway became more desirable. For this reason Botley has not grown as much as Hedge End, and is projected to shrink between 2001 and 2012[clarification needed][citation needed][original research?]
In 2005 an oil company sought permission to search for oil reserves. These have not been exploited, due to their proximity to the residential area. The company, as of February 2010, was continuing to seek ways to access the oil.
Catering for the growth in population, new community facilities have been provided, including a library and a golf centre. A children's paddling pool has been built on the recreation ground that was once part of Botley Common.
A community theatre/cinema called the Berry Theatre has been built at Wildern School with support from Eastleigh Borough Council. A new professional theatre on the site, funded by the Borough and Town Councils, with seating up to 300 members of the local community, was completed in 2011. The Berry Theatre has gained a strong reputation in its opening months for drama, comedy, music, dance and film.
Culture and community[edit]
The Hedge End Carnival is one of the oldest carnivals still in existence in this part of Hampshire. The first Carnival was held in 1921, and raised money to pay for the services of a nurse, as there were no medical facilities in Hedge End at that time. Records do not exist to show whether or not a Carnival took place every year and it is thought that during the Second World War, the Carnival did not take place. The Carnival takes place the first Saturday in July, and the week leading up to Carnival Day sees a variety of events and entertainment organised by the Hedge End Carnival Committee, including a quiz night, dog show, whist drive, Bingo, heritage walks, and children's sports day. Other events throughout the year include a Senior Citizens' lunch in October, open to all pensioners in Hedge End; a Fireworks Fiesta and Fun Fair in November; and quiz nights. On Carnival Day, the Carnival Queen is crowned by a local dignitary, and leads the Carnival procession, accompanied by the Carnival Court consisting of princes and princesses, as well as the Senior Carnival Queen, through the streets of Hedge End. All profits raised by the Carnival and associated events are donated to local voluntary and charity organisations. According to the Constitution of the Hedge End Carnival Committee, all money raised must be used to benefit the people of Hedge End.
Radio station[edit]
The town has its own non-profit radio station — Skyline on 102.5FM[12] — which exists to promote and support community organisations and events. Broadcasts reach people in Hedge End, nearby Botley, West End and beyond. Founded by David Gates, Skyline was initially funded by grants and now relies on advertising from local businesses. This aims to cover the necessary running costs, i.e. radio licensing, utility bills and performing-rights fees for the music played on air. Skyline produces a wide variety of programmes — rock, country, pop, local bands, easy listening — and regularly features interviews from local community groups from the arts, environment and altruistic societies. All of the people involved in the station are unpaid volunteers. As of 10 February 2007, Skyline streams live on the internet.
In 2008 following a number of unsuccessful takeover attempts, presenter Mike Green bought the station which continues to broadcast its original blend of music.
Performing arts[edit]
The award-winning Performing Arts Company rehearses Sunday and Monday nights in the HEYCA (Hedge End Youth and Community) centre, formerly St. Johns School, opposite the former Fountain pub. The group has been active for nearly twenty years and started producing shows at Wildern School. Following a long period performing at the Eastpoint Centre in Thornhill, the company progressed to The Point in Eastleigh, before moving to The Berry Theatre which is situated on the Wildern School site in Hedge End.
The town is served by Wildern Secondary School which currently has around 1800 pupils. The Wildern site, on Wildern Lane near the town centre, houses a high-tech media facility known as the "d.@rt Centre" (d.@rt representing "Digital Art"). It also has a recently renovated sports centre which serves the local community with a large sports hall, indoor heated swimming pool, toddlers' swimming pool, gym facilities and a professional dance studio. The school also has a £250,000 Multi Use Games Area (MUGA), an all-weather surface similar to Astroturf.
Shamblehurst Primary School is adjacent to the Wildern site. Freegrounds Infant and Junior School's occupy a shared site on the other side of the town centre. King Copse Primary School is also in Hedge End, located near the Cranbourne Park area. Kings Copse Primary School recently underwent a complete rebuild and opened in September 2008 as a state-of-the-art school. It boasts many modern facilities and provides a stunning learning environment for its pupils.
An additional primary school, Wellstead, opened at Dowd's Farm in Grange Park in April 2008 built nearly 20 years after Berrywood Primary School, which was the first primary built in the Grange Park area.

As someone that loves to serve the community, tutoring is a way that I could help people. It is something that I am passionate about. I have tutored in various forms for most of my life, from just helping a personal friend after class to working in my Engineering school tutoring division.
I started tutoring my freshman year in college, as I was a General Chemistry Peer Leader. I was able to organize active learning and discussion groups for chemistry students in a class. In this environment they learned how to work as a team in solving chemistry problems. They also learned from each other. In my second year of college I started working with Grove School of Engineering at City College of New York as a tutor. I helped students with Calculus and some basic Electrical Engineering courses. I also encouraged students to understand the material so that they could improve their performance in the class. I have improved tremendously over the years in my tutoring techniques and I hope to continue in that manner.
I would not only ensure my students learn the material but that they also apply it in their every day lives. Tutoring to me is a two way process, you learn from me and I learn from you. I am a very open minded and friendly person. I have worked in professional environments like as a college assistant in my school library. I would ensure that I do my job in the most professional manner.
I have also gained various communication skills both written and verbal throughout my college and job experiences. I would ensure that I communicate effectively with my students.
I am also very knowledgeable in the course materials that I tutor as I am a top student in the Honors Society in my Engineering school. One of my best courses that I love to tutor is mathematics. As someone that loves to serve the community, tutoring is a way that I could help people. It is something that I am passionate about.

The Law of Occupation: What Led to the Formation of the Current Legal System in the West Bank?
There has never been a modern, autonomous Palestinian state. Since the 16th century, Palestinians have been subject to Ottoman and then to British rule. After the establishment of the state of Israel and the 1948 war, the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip remained under Jordanian and Egyptian rule, respectively. In the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel conquered the territories of the West Bank and Gaza, more than tripling the area it controlled, from 8,000 square miles to 26,000 square miles. Overnight, about one million Palestinians, previously under the control of Egypt or the Kingdom of Jordan, became subject to a new legal system. This was not the legal system of the state of Israel, but a temporary system of military courts created within the requirements of the international law of occupation.
The international law of occupation says that an occupying army is responsible for the order and welfare of the residents of an occupied area. The duties of an occupying power are detailed in the cornerstones of international humanitarian law: the 1907 Hague Regulations (articles 42-56), as well as the Fourth Geneva Convention and the provisions of Additional Protocol I. Within their interpretation of these laws, the Israeli military has since issued thousands of orders to Palestinians living under occupation and tried hundreds of thousands of them in military courts. Although the law of occupation does not require it, Palestinians wishing to challenge such military orders, judgments of the military court system or any other action taken by the occupying forces have been given the right to petition the Israeli Supreme Court.
The legality of military occupation by any nation is regulated by the United Nations charter and the law known as jus ad bellum, "the law of war." International law states that "occupation is only a temporary situation" (as in the Allied occupation of Germany and Japan following World War II.) This temporary status of occupation (as opposed to annexation, in which an area is absorbed into another state) exempted Israel from the requirement to grant Palestinian residents of the West Bank and Gaza citizenship. Israel's long-term occupation of the West Bank is without precedent in international law, and opinions vary as to whether it is legal or sustainable. Indeed, the official position of the Israeli government is that the West Bank is, from the perspective of international law, not occupied. Legally speaking, a territory can only be occupied if it was previously under the sovereignty of another state, whereas the international community never recognized Jordan's prior hold over the territories. Therefore, Israel argues, it is a legal administrator of a territory whose status has not been determined. Critics of the Israeli occupation, however, dispute this interpretation of the law, arguing that the territories are indeed occupied and that the continued Israeli administration of the West Bank has undermined the internationally accepted definition of "occupation" and has created a generation of Palestinians who are not regarded as citizens of any state.

Comments about Nature's Gate Organics C For Yourself Vitamin C Texturizing Serum, 1.7 fl oz:
Somehow my very oily, acne prone skin has flip flopped from my teen years to late 20's to being super sensitive and dry. This is a fantastic serum that is light enough to quickly absorb and can be used alone or under layers of other moisturizers. I have even noticed the tightening of my pores as advertised. :) I also have "Oh What a Night" I use in conjunction when I need a bit more softness. I love, love, love "Oh What a Night" which is what turned me onto Nature's Gate. I awake with the softest skin I have ever had and doesn't cause breakouts. These products are worth every penny!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Dee
from Florida
This product smells great, but it does not deliver any benefits to your skin that you expect from a good vitamin C serum. It did not diminish the color of my brown spots, my skin did not seem smoother, and my pores did not seem to get smaller. There are other very good vitamin C products on the drugstore.com website that actually seem to accomplish these promises. I was very disappointed in this product.

I love this product! I have oily skin, and have NEVER found a moisturizer that doesn't leave a warm or greasy feeling...this one is perfect! It actually does minimize the pores between my cheeks and nose, and has a great scent. I can wear it under powder foundation without changing the color of the foundation, too. Small lines at the corners of my eyes have certainly diminshed. I don't know how it works for someone with dry skin, but it is a dream come true for an oily-skinned person who still wants to condition the skin.

I love the scent of this. My skin appears to be smoother, and the 3 brown spots also seem lighter (but that's probably because I'm using a dermatologist-prescribed product to treat them), but I DEFINITELY wouldn't call this a moisturizer.

By Norae

I love this. I have oily skin, very large pores, and fine wrinkles. When I put this on, it is so very light, and feels so soft afterwards. Other creams (no matter how light they claim) make me feel like I have layers on me, and makes my face sweaty and uncomfortable (I have very sensitive skin), but this one is just too perfect. Also, I see my fine lines are less noticable and my pores are smaller.I highly recommend this product to anyone who would like a light, but very effective cream.

I just can't resist bashing Christensen's performance. Truly awful. WTF was Lucas thinking?
Lucas was very good at getting inferior performances from good actors. So this thread is a little unfair because we're dealing with a director who is just not good at directing. He's a 2nd unit style director who knows how to choreograph action scenes but is in over his head trying to convey real drama.
In this respect he's kind of the opposite of someone like Quentin Tarantino who is known for being able to get awesome performances from actors who had destroyed their reputations with B-movie dreck (like David Carradine who was riveting for every frame he was in Kill Bill).

Ripping VHS to DVD
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but here it goes:
My brother in law has a HUGE collection of sports games (boxing mostly) recored to VHS. He wants to now put them on DVD for space saving and to avoid degridation and having to buy a new VCR.
As I understand it there are 2 ways to do this. One would be to buy a program to assist with this and plug the VCR into the computer and rip them to DVDS. I dont think this is a good idea for them as they are not very computer literate and their machine is a little on the weak side.
The other option would be to try a store that specializes in this. The problem here is copyright issues. I dont want them to get into trouble or anything.
So the last option would be a specialized machine that includes 1 button ripping of the VHS to the DVD.
Does ANYONE have any opinions or options on this? Seriuosly, a link to a specialized machine would make their (and my) life MUCH easier.
Re: Ripping VHS to DVD
Here is a article on just that http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11259_7-5705957-1.html
Of course that is only one option among many, but it was the first hit off google with the terms "vhs to dvd hardware"
Re: Ripping VHS to DVD
Okay, thats a good start and thx.
However I am hoping for a more "all in 1" machine. VCR and DVD go in, push a button, and transfered DVD comes out 2 hours later.
None the less I will link this to my sister and see what she thinks.
Re: Ripping VHS to DVD
I've used one of these before:
It worked very nicely.
Re: Ripping VHS to DVD
Okay, THAT is what I am looking for.
Any other models, reviews, sites to check for products liek that?

Created: 07/19/2014 7:10 PM KAALtv.com
(ABC 6 News) -- In Austin today, there was plenty of running, swimming and biking that went on.
It was the 2nd Annual Spamtown Triathlon.
The top three finishers were awarded cash prizes for the 500 yard swim, 13 mile bike and 5K run.
Thirty-five people took part this year, and all entry fees go towards financial assistance for YMCA memberships.
The event was held at the Austin City Pool, instead of the YMCA, because of the Main Street construction in downtown Austin.
Organizers say the location worked well and they haven't decided if the triahtlon will be back at the YMCA next year or if they will keep it at the city pool.

Homing pigeons' ability to navigate relies on hedges and boundaries which makes it unlikely they will ever be seen flying over a moor or forest, researchers have found.
Scientists attached GPS tags to 31 pigeons and released them at sites around Oxford.
They found that pigeons were more able to memorise flight paths when the landscape below had obvious borders, such as rural areas with hedges or copses. They avoided dense areas like forests or sparse areas like moors.
'We discovered that pigeons' ability to memorise routes is highly influenced by the visual properties of the landscape in a 250 metre radius below them,' said lead author Dr Richard Mann of Uppsala University Sweden, formerly of Oxford University where he conducted the study.
'Looking at how quickly they memorise different routes, we see that that visual landmarks play a key role.
"Pigeons have a harder time remembering routes when the landscape is too bland like a field or too busy like a forest or dense urban area.
"The sweet spot is somewhere in between; relatively open areas with hedges, trees or buildings dotted about. Boundaries between rural and urban areas are also good."
Understanding how pigeons learn to find their way is important because they are able to navigate exceptionally well despitehaving small brains.
Whatever method they use to remember routes must therefore make highly efficient use of their limited mental processing power.
'There may be certain rules that free-flying birds use to structure information that enable them to map the environment using their limited brain power,' said co-author Tim Guilford, Professor of Animal Behaviour at Oxford University's Department of Zoology.
'Fundamentally understanding how they do this will tell us more about their abilities and limitations, and could reveal methods that robots with limited processing power might use to navigate.'
Researchers say identifying the likely flight paths of birds could be of use to conservationists, birdwatchers and town planners.
The study was published in the journal Biology Letters.

Leaders Ulsan Hyundai kept the chasing pack at bay in the K-League after riding out a 3-1 victory at Gyeongnam.
Han Sang-Woon's goal in the 12th minute sent Ulsan into the break with the lead and, after Milan Bubalo equalised in the 70th minute, Chikashi Masuda's brace sealed all three points for the Tigers.
Hot on their heels are Pohang Steelers, who remain a point off the pace following a 4-0 home victory over Gangwon FC.
Park Sung-Ho opened the scoring in the 22nd minute and Cho Chan-Ho helped himself to a hat-trick with goals in the 26th, 53rd and 72nd minutes.
Third-placed Jeonbuk Motors are a further five points behind after beating Daegu FC 1-0 through Seo Sang-Min's 63rd-minute goal at Blue Arc.
Daejeon Citizen are propping up the standings and lost 1-0 at home to Incheon United, for whom Seol Ki-Hyeun grabbed the winner, while Chunnam Dragons pulled away from the bottom of the table and into tenth place with a 2-1 defeat of Seongnam Chunma.
Lee Jong-Ho and Wesley had the game won by half-time but Kim Dong-Sub would pull a goal back just before the break.
Elsewhere, Adilson scored the only goal as FC Seoul beat Jeju United 1-0 and strikes from Chul Hong and Cho Dong-Geon decided a 2-0 win for Suwon Bluewings against Busan I'Park.

COLUMBIA CITY — The Indianapolis 500 race, to this generation, seems an icon, celebrating its 100th race this month.
The originator of the race was Carl Graham Fisher, an Indiana native. He was called a genius of promotion and loved speed, racing his school chums on ice skates and roller skates as a youngster. He started his own bicycle shop in his home town of Greensburg staging stunts to promote his product such as dropping a bicycle off the top of the tallest building in Indianapolis. And of course, they raced.
CHURUBUSCO — The top two students at Churubusco High School will finish their four-year career at the head of a class of 108 students, having taken two slightly different, yet similar paths to achieve the most coveted of high school accomplishments.
Valedictorian Shannon Kuznar put the highest class ranking in her sights out of the gate her first day of high school, while Salutatorian Dustin Arvola saw the finish line even earlier in the race.

Texas All-Star shortstop Elvis Andrus left in the ninth inning of Sunday's Sunday 7-6 loss at Kansas City because of pain in his right shoulder. Andrus, who was 2 for 5 with a triple and two RBIs, is hitting .296. He injured his shoulder on a slide. ''He said he had some soreness in his right shoulder,'' Rangers manager Ron Washington said. ''He's day to day. He'll probably be in there tomorrow.'' Andrus was replaced by Alberto Gonzalez, who made a costly fielding error in the 10th that led to the Royals scoring the winning run. ''It didn't really bother me too much,'' Andrus said of the shoulder. ''I noticed that every time I threw the ball, it was slowing down. In the (on-deck) circle, that's when I realized it was hurting. It's not bad. I took myself out more to prevent getting hurt worse.''

Based on 548 Ratings for the 2003 - 2008 models.Review this car
By Bargain Gal on Wednesday, August 24, 2011
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 125,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Excellent value, versatile, headroom, Never left me stranded!"
Cons: "Wheel cover clips break"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"125,000 miles and running strong! Really had only a couple of minor issues with it all the years I have had it (biggest one being the poor quality of the wheel covers as the clips that hold it on break from as simple as the mechanic servicing the car). I'd understand it if I hit a massive pothole or crunched it in a curb. Look around at how many Matrix's are missing a wheel cover or two for the 2003 and early year models. I have loved the versatility of the fold down rear seat. So many large items I have saved shipping on by picking them up myself. It has more headroom so we don't feel like we are in a smaller car. Still gets great gas mileage!"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 230,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "Reliable, good on gas, versatile, low owner cost"
Cons: "none"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Call me crazy, but i was a student who was looking for a good value car. I found the Matrix xr 2003 and loved it. It had 130,000 miles on it and I still made the purchase. I have put an additional 100,000 miles on it. So it now has 230,000 miles total. It has been a great car. Aside getting new tires on it, there have been no major repairs, let alone breakdowns. I get great gas mileage 30+ and can go up to 400mpg (60mph)on a full tank of v-power fuel from shell. It has a power outlet that makes it easy to charge phones and other devices. It also has folding seats, all the seats can be folded giving it maximum room to fill when moving. This car is versatile and thats what makes it great. I've been on numerous road trips in different temperatures. The only ding in this review would be the starter. Whenever I fill up my tank, I have to start my engine twice before the engine keeps running. I was told the previous owner left the gas tank open for a while and thats what's caused this problem. I've had a couple mechanics look at it and they say its nothing major. However, I've been so impressed with the car that I'm willing to drive it until I get to the 300k mark and hopefully toyota can feature me in a commercial. ha."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 122,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "VERY reliable"
Cons: "One cup holder is smaller, no big deal cans fits"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This car is fantastic. I have put many miles on this car - 122000 since buying it new in 2005. I have had almost no maitenence issues for the mileage and age. I get great gas mileage. I recommend my car to all people. Even with the Toyota recalls - I only had 1 and it took 15 minutes to fix the issue, and it really wasn't an issue. I love the design, space, and layout of the car. One of the best design features is the fact that the rear seats fold completely flat and have the plastic covers on the rear of the seats and base of the trunk space."

"GOOD A 2003 Matrix XRS 6 spd was my first ever Toyota. It's stylish, seats are comfortable, interior is roomy & very versatile. Good head room; easy to climb in/out. Good front & back leg room. Good gas mileage, 28/35. Timing chain vs timing belt. Fun to drive & responsive, but car leans slightly on curves; does not feel solidly grounded. BAD Driver can't stretch out left leg b/c of the foot rest; very uncomfortable for long trips. My husband complains about this. Dislike harsh red dash lights. Reverse next to 1st gear is a bad design; have had reverse warning bell chime in 1st gear believing reverse had been fully engaged. Also, 1st gear is geared too high, driver must press slightly on 'touchy' accelerator to go forward, otherwise car dies. Rubber trim around doors are thin & most doors have tears in rubber. Faux silver paint on back door driver side handle - is peeling off. No kids to blame for either problem. At 83K miles I had to replace B1S1 Oxygen sensor. Shortly thereafter, found out left inner & outer boots leak & needed replacing. At 115K miles - tensioner (to serpentine belt) needed replacing. UGLY Have had to replace clutch 2xs. Once at 63K & again at 112K miles @ around $900 a pop. Including original clutch - this is #3. (In comparison, I sold my Honda Civic w/205K miles on the original clutch.) My on board computer failed at 117K miles and cost over $1200 to replace. (The 2003 Matrix computers were not included in the "improperly manufactured" 2005-2008 Corolla Matrix recall announced earlier this year.) At 119K the the engine lite came on & computer pointed to a bad catalytic converter. Dealer charge for parts, labor & tax --> $1700.00. OUCH! Hope this helped someone."

overall rating 10 of 10rating details
"2005 XR Automatic, adult driven for 48K Miles. Still on original tires and brakes with margin to spare. Gas Mileage (I track every tank full) : 29-30 mpg if driven solely around town on short trips; 36-38+mpg driven 65MPH on long trips; low 30's if driven 75MPH. Zero quality or reliability issues. I just routinely change the oil, add gas, and GO! A little road noise - probably the relatively low profile tires. Otherwise wind and engine noise are OK. Perfect around town car: exterior size/interior volume, fold flat cargo floor/all the modern goodies AC, power window & locks, cruise, sun soof, 6 CD player. Comfort around town fine, long trips just OK. Can't think of a more practical automotive package for the money."

Ned Marandino, 2nd place MC, Alcan5000
I got jimmy650's permission to post his note from the Alcan5000 list here concerning Ned Marandino.
I hope that when I'm 70, I will not only be able to ride, but will still have a real passion for it like Ned.
Godspeed Ned.

Thinking of Ned...
I knew Ned twice in my life. The first time was in the early 70's when he was my boss at Grand Prix Cycles in Santa Clara. I was a student at San Jose' State and worked for Ned between classes. It was a great time for me. Ned help me learn to race motorcycles. Because I was so timid off the gate, Ned called me 'Holeshot'. I later fixed my starting gate issues, but that sarcastic handle stuck and I even came to enjoy it.
We had cool jersey's even:
Ned raced open-class Maico's in those days. I couldn't even kick start those beasts, but Ned loved 'em. I remember when he decided to go road racing. He picked out a green H2 750, mounted some expansion chambers, clipons and number plates, and headed to Sears Point. I heard he was fast for awhile, but they both came back pretty banged up...
Ned fascinated me. He was obviously very smart and knew about many things. He had a great wit and I enjoyed his missives. In fact, he was a Lockheed Engineer on some sort of self imposed sabbatical in order pursue his motorcycles. For all those reasons and more, Ned stood out in sharp contrast to the backdrop that was Grand Prix Cycles.
The second time I knew Ned was recently. In reading about the Alcan 5000, I noticed Ned's name as a 2004 entry. The article told a story about a Ned Marandino that attempted the race, but was foiled by a motor failure. He rode in the sweep truck until he managed to buy a used KLR in order to finish. That had to be the Ned I knew and after an inquiry, sure enough it was him. He sent me an email that started out ..."HOLESHOT"!
Ned and I emailed for 18 months while we waited for the start of the 2006 Alcan5000. We gathered at the Bayview Hotel for day one. I spotted Ned sitting on a planter box with his gear on. I walked up and sat next to him. He did a double take and gave me a big hug.
I followed Ned and Jim for most of the next 4500 miles. It was a great experience for me, and Ned was still into teaching me as he towed me along. Here are some pics of him from the Alcan:
I am so glad I got the chance to reunite with Ned and ride with him after all these decades. He was a special guy.

i didn't know ned well, but had the pleasure of spending some time with him on this years alcan 5000. he was one of the most amazing riders i have ever seen. the man not only completed the alcan after having his leg mashed between bike and truck weeks before... he came second place! i bet the only reason he didn't beat jim was due to sabotage (jim forced him to drink and party with us young pups into the wee hours a few evenings.)
on day two i somehow managed to get close behind ned on the 150km blackwater trail (he must have stopped for a lunch break.). i was riding as fast as i possibly could. wrestling my ktm through somewhat gnarly shit to try keeping up. that old guys ass never left the seat! he just rode. his 650gs kept a perfect line and was faster than shit! i backed off eventually as there was no hope of catching.
rest in peace ned. youre an inspration to us. wish i could have learned more from you.
a couple shots i took of the old guy ned the way i remember him:
- jug of beer in hand and a great smile at the alcan5000 awards dinner
- all geared up on his machine at the arctic circle.

Great write-ups you guys! Thanks.
Re the Alcan5000:
Ned signed up first in 2004. (I followed as a partner)
Ned determined the best enduro computer to do the job.
Ned figured a way to program the computer to handle both TSD's and transits.
Ned collected all the right GPS maps for the event.
Ned set up many TSD's for practice before both the 2004 & 2006 events.
(I set up a few too... it's hard to learn from your own TSD since you know the way)
We did these a lot and it made a big difference in our TSD performance.
Ned provided a huge competitive boost that made all the difference.
Thanks Ned!
Boy! He was really determined to win! We were close enough in the points chart that it came down to the last day. If I had bad luck for a moment he would be the winner. But luck was with me that last day. I almost crashed in the rain going to the last TSD on the slick newly paved main road... got to the start of the TSD with only 30 seconds to spare. Somehow made it through ok in the pouring rain. So did Ned, so I won barely.
My chain and rear sprocket were totally shot.. way worse than Ned's. Not sure I could have made another day. We changed them in Anchorage before the awards in anticipation of the 2400 mile trek back to Seattle. (his foot injury interferred and we decided to truck it back)
I got a flat rear tire only a few hundred miles later due to installation of a wrong size tube in Dawson... that could have easily happened anytime during the last few days of the Alcan. So I figure I was very lucky to finish the Alcan at all.
Ned was so determined that he basically ignored his crushed foot that he got when an SUV crossed over and pinned him against a hill a couple of weeks before the event. He spent 9 days in the hospital in September and a couple of months of therapy recovering from that wound. It was only on the day before the start of the Alcan that he was able to get his boot to fit over the swollen foot.
Ned was very gracious and proud of both of us at the end. I don't think I would have been a contender if it wasn't for Ned. So I owe a lot to him and am honored to have been his friend.
Thanks Ned!

Sounds like a fella that had his priorities right, sorry I never had the priviledge Ned.
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family.
Choose a fucking big television.
Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows,
stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth.
Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home,
nothing more than an embarrasment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future. Choose life.
I chose not to choose life, I chose something else instead.

So I log onto ADVrider this a.m. and browse the front page, and the first thing that catches my eye is "Ned Marandino." Huge flashback to the early '70s when I was living in Santa Clara and racing a Yamaha R5 in AFM club races. Ned was the parts guy at the local Yamaha shop. He rode a thundering Norton P11 in the AFM, and with a change of wheels and brakes in AMA dirttrack and scrambles, too.
One time at Vacaville in an open production race Ned passed me on the straight with about 40mph to spare. Suddenly his bike wobbled, almost fell, and then got upright again. A footpeg had fallen off, and Ned had almost fallen off, too. I watched the footpeg bounce and bounce down the track ahead of me, getting closer as it lost speed, and it finally punched a hole clean through my front number plate and smashed the taped-up headlight behind it.
After the race Ned came by to apologize. I said it was hardly his fault, that's just racing, but he still felt bad, and offered to buy me a new plate and headlight. That's the kind of guy he was. I'm sorry I lost track of him. But it sounds like he used all of every day he had.

After putting together a season that featured 90 catches, 1,327 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2011, Rob Gronkowski decided he wanted to enjoy himself during the offseason. The fun started immediately when Gronk was spotted dancing shirtless and partying after the Patriots Super Bowl loss to the Giants, an incident that irritated more than a few fans. Following the Super Bowl dance party, Gronkowski embarked on a summer that included campaigning to appear on the cover of Madden, answering questions about Tim Tebow's virginity and apparently being paid big bucks to attend parties.
During his recent sit-down with Sports Illustrated's Chris Ballard (the same one in which he revealed that trains hard to score chicks), Gronk talked about a party he was paid five figures to make an appearance at. He had hoped it would be a party where "a bunch of kids were doing kegstands," but instead it was a bunch of lame-o's he had to dominate in a shotgunning competition.
So while the 21-year-olds fiddled with their cans, trying to puncture the casing with car keys only to create embarrassing miniature geysers of froth, Gronk calmly pressed into the bottom of his can with an enormous thumb. In doing so he created a perfect rectangle from which to inhale the Bud. It was the move of a master. Then Gronk looked up, assessing the competition. "That's it?" he said. "Oh, I gotta win this one."
Rob's father, Gordy Gronkowski, said the money Rob is offered to make appearances like that is "stupid money" and that he can't turn it down. Gronk made at least $10,000 for the appearance, but he was hoping he could have raged even harder. After all, we know he loves a good beer bong rip.
"I was hoping it would have been just an all-out college party," Gronkowski said. "It would have been worth it. I would have been there all night, I would have gotten hammered."
For the record, this is also the same guy who revealed that he used to fill 5-Hour Energy bottles with vodka or tequila and take them out on the town while he was in school at Arizona. The Patriots may have declared the summer of Gronk to be officially over now that the season is underway, but something tells me we're just getting started.
