How many Amps a circuit can handle is determined in great part by the wire thickness (gauge, or gage) & here's a chart you can use to see what gauge should be used for a given Amp rating:
When the Amp draw is too high the circuit will overheat & not only connections, but the wire itself, which will either cause a fuse or relay to burn out or a circuit-breaker to trip, or if there isn't anything in-line to shut the circuit down, could start a fire.
And remember this simple formula:
Volts x Amps = Watts
(doesn't take Resistance into account, but it's close enough for most calculations). Although the Voltage in your truck will (should) be higher than 12 @ certain points you can just figure 12 for everything, so if you know the Wattage of the device being powered, you can divide that by 12 to find the Amps being used to power the device. In other words, a 60-Watt headlight would draw ~ 5 Amps, which would mean you'd need 14 gauge (or heavier) wire (the lower the gauge number the thicker the wire). The light would still come on with 16 gauge wire, but the wire & connections would get hot immediately because the light would be drawing more Amps than the wire can safely handle.
Of course thicker wire costs more & especially if you build many 1000's of a certain vehicle a small savings per vehicle translates into a lot of money, so manufacturers will use the thinnest wire they think they can get away with. And that's true for everything -- say you replace the factory stereo & speakers with ones having a much higher Wattage rating but don't change the original skinny 18 or 20 gauge wires -- the Voltage remains the same, but the Amp draw goes up & now you've got the same problem as the headlight with too light a gauge wire running to it. Crank the volume up & not only will the sound from the speakers be distorted, the wiring to & from the stereo & to the speakers will overheat, as will all the connections.
In the case of a fan which has lighter gauge wire running to it than it should, sooner or later the fan motor will burn out because it'll always run too hot. The wire itself & the connections will overheat too, so you can have several problems, all of which can be fixed by simply replacing the wire with the proper gauge. And hooking the fan motor up to a battery doesn't tell you if the motor is drawing too many Amps for the wires in the truck going to it because there's no load on the motor -- which there will be when it's installed & blowing air. But if the motor has a Watts (or Amps) rating stamped on it, you can quickly figure which wire should be used.

While most of us will never be lucky enough to make it into the cockpit of a real-life Ferrari 430 Scuderia, the Thrustmaster Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition might just be the next best thing. This replica cockpit ensemble has a built-in wheel and pedal set, with several features to enhance your virtual racing performance for PlayStation 3 or USB PC games. Right down to the metallic colors and shape of the pedals, this set was in every way modeled after its powerful Ferrari counterpart.
While racing, you can take advantage of long-range wireless connectivity with 2.4 GHz technology and a generous range of up to 33 feet. You can enjoy up to 50 hours of game play before changing the AA batteries.
Delivering ultimate precision is Thrustmaster's H.E.A.R.T. HallEffect AccuRate Technology, which relies on magnetic, rather than mechanical, 3D (HallEffect) sensors. This allows for unparalleled precision and also eliminates friction to highly reduce mechanical wear for permanent precision that won't decrease over time. This technology also eliminates dead zones -- even your slightest movements will be detected. Actions with this cockpit set are therefore more linear, smoother and without any latency.
The built-in wheel is a replica of that found on the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and is 70% of the actual size. It is 11" in diameter and has a 5-position Manettino dial so you can configure your car directly in the race. The sequential gearshift levers are made of metal, and the rubber-textured grip allows you to firmly take hold of the wheel. The wheel is fully programmable and has internal memory.
Of course, you want to be comfortable while driving and the cockpit is fully adjustable for different sized bodies and different types of seating like chairs or couches to ensure ergonomic comfort. It has a foldable design and the wheel is detachable, making it easy to store when you're not using it. The compact, practical and efficient Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition is designed to let you experience the thrill of the race tracks in your very own living room.
- Wireless Cockpit Ensemble
- This cockpit ensemble features 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity and works up to 33 feet away. Once you insert four AA batteries, you can enjoy up to 50 hours of battery life whether you're doing quick runs around the track or engaging in endurance racing.
- Optimal Stability
- With a wide, solid base and a total weight of 23 pounds, stability is optimal. The cockpit's rigid metal structure is completely solid, making it perfect for your racing lines, even through quick turns.
- Absolute Precision Technology
- This ensemble provides absolute precision thanks to the H.E.A.R.T. HallEffect AccuRate Technology system (12-bit precision with 4,096 values on the wheel's axis) that will give you the competitive edge you need.
- Programmable Wheel
- The 11" (diameter) wheel is a replica of that found on the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, down to the smallest details, from the 5-position Manettino dial which lets you configure your car directly in the race, to the sequential gearshift levers crafted of metal, and the rubber-textured grip. The wheel is 100% programmable and features internal memory.
- Streamlined Design
- The Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition has a streamlined design with smooth and harmonious lines, and features the metallic colors of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia's "musetto".
- Magnetic Resistance Pedals
- The two medal pedals, inspired by those in the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, are built directly into the cockpit, and provide a long range of travel for even greater realism. The brake pedal even features magnetic resistance for enhanced performance.
- Adjustable Cockpit
- The cockpit is fully adjustable for an infinite number of possible positions for different sized users and seat types. It also features a mechanism which locks in place once the position has been selected.
- Foldable Cockpit & Detachable Wheel
- This cockpit is foldable and has a detachable wheel and carrying handle -- so it takes up minimal space for easy storage when you're done racing.
- Designed for Your PS3 and PC Games
- This cockpit set is compatible with all PlayStation3 and USB PC games for Windows Vista, XP and 7.

WALLA WALLA -- An entrepreneur, business executive and former small-business owner will be the new adviser for Walla Walla's Small Business Development Center.
Joe Jacobs will operate the local office, which is in the midst of a revival after a more than yearlong absence from the community.
Jacobs will provide free one-on-one business advising to area clients. The service had for years been offered in Walla Walla, but closed in April 2010 due to budgetary cuts.
The new hire was announced Wednesday by Brett Rogers, state director for Washington's Small Business Development Center network.
In an interview this morning, Jacobs said he has been getting acquainted with local business and government officials this week and hopes in the coming days to learn more about the business community's desires and expectations.
"I really want to get a sense of what the community is in need of most," he said.
In the meantime he continues to run through the network's required training and will likely be available to see clients by the middle of next week.
Rogers said Walla Walla's enthusiasm for the service has been the driving force in re-establishing the local office.
"We don't have another community in the state that has embraced the idea of a Small Business Development Center like Walla Walla," Rogers said. "It's amazing how many people down there -- from community leaders to bankers to government agencies -- who really see the value the Small Business Development Center can bring..."
Jacobs will be stationed at the Port of Walla Walla's administrative office, 310 A St., for the time being. A new location may be in the works down the road, officials said.
According to the announcement, Jacobs will join a network of 26 other business advisers across the state. Their expertise comes from a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, engineering, high-tech innovation, retail sales and business management. Any questions Jacobs may not be able to answer on his own can be posed to others in the network.
The service provides assistance in the form of guidance and resources to businesses. In 2011, advisers across Washington state met with more than 2,800 small-business owners, Rogers said. They developed ongoing advising relationships with nearly 90 percent of them. Clients, he said, credited advisers with helping to create or save more than 600 jobs, 118 new businesses and secure nearly $30 million in capital.
The network includes four international trade specialists who assist small-business clients who are either new to export or considering expanding their current export operations.
What Jacobs brings to Walla Walla is an extensive background as both a business owner and an employee in numerous sectors.
He previously owned an inert landfill and roll-off trucking company from 1996 to 2006. He worked a year as president of a Spokane-based winery and event center. He later operated a solid waste consulting and eco-construction company. Most recently he worked as an operations specialist for CH2MHill in Richland.
"What attracted me to this job is just the excitement of working with a multitude of small businesses," Jacobs said.
He said one of his strong suits is a planning background that he believes will help with the guidance of long-range plans for business owners.
"If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you've arrived?" he quipped.
Jacobs said he looks equally forward to working with established businesses on the path to expansion. "An owner could come to me and we could talk about different ideas," he said.
The Walla Walla Small Business Development Center is part of a collaboration between local agencies and the Small Business Development Center Network, an economic development program of Washington State University and the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The budget is estimated at $120,000 to $130,000. Half of that is federal funding. The other half is local from financial or in-kind contributions, officials have said.
The Downtown Walla Walla Foundation will be the fiscal agent for the center, on behalf of Partnership Walla Walla, an organization of local agencies including the Port of Columbia, cities of Waitsburg, Walla Walla and College Place, Tourism Walla Walla, the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance, Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce, Walla Walla Community College, downtown foundation and Milton-Freewater Community Development Partnership.
Vicki Hillhouse can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 526-8321.

MirrorIt helps when you cover up with makeup,
because you feel your too ugly not to.
To help when you think something is stuck in your teeth,
because mom's cooking always seems to.
To help when you're taking a picture of yourself,
because no pictures should come out blurry and ugly.
And yet it doesn't help me see who I am.
It doesn't help if I look into that mirror,
To check and see if I'm still awake,
If I'm still alive.
Or am I daydreaming again?
Lying in my own world of nothingness.
Where nothing has to make sense,
Thus there must be nothing.
This thing that I throw down at the ground,
Shattering it to pieces,
Because it showed a cracked reflection,
Of myself.
It wasn't like the time that I didn't look in the mirror,
While taking a picture.
The picture came out blurry and unclear.
But it was as if I weren't doing anything wrong,
To make anything bad happen.
And yet for some reason,
It is whenever I look in a mirror that I get a glimpse of who I really must be,
and realize that the ima
there's no pain in the rainThe Rain is what connects us to the sky,
Not a symbol for grief,
It purify all your fears and worries,
So the next time you're sad
And it's raining,
Don't mistake it for pain,
Walk out into the street,
Lift your arms out wide,
And let it rinse you away.
Rain...Rain rain...
Come my way....
Come and wash my pain away.
Rain rain...
Soft and light....
With you around I have no fright.
Rain rain...
Storms within....
With every touch you cool my skin.
Rain rain...
Cool and clear....
It is you that I hold dear.
Broken.I breathe,
and I feel my heart crumble,
with every breath
it just breaks.
I'm so desperate
I'd like to run away.
Vanishing never looked so,
I miss you.
I miss,
how perfect we were together,
how people would tell me,
how much in love we looked.
And now we are just breaking.
It's not just me, it's both of us.
if you fall, I fall,
and if I fall, you fall too.
it makes me feel like if
we were meant to be together
and I never wished so bad we didn't.
You are miles away
and it never mattered to me
I am far away from you, I know.
But I never thought I could be so
far away from your heart.
Now all I have left are the pieces
of this heart
and I know it's not my heart,
because you took mine,
and I'm pretty sure it's broken too.
I'll fix yours if you fix mine,
just give us one more chance...
because this heart I'm holding
it's worth fixing...
Your heart is worth feeling.
Please Love MeOh Daddy
Why don't you love me
I do what I can
I try my best
But you just yell at my work
And you put down the rest
I try not to cry
I try not to scream
I never want to see
me own tears stream
I'm a lot like you
Up to my crazy hair
I love you with all my heart
But do you even care
You yell and I sigh
Cos I never want you to see me cry
It wells in my throat
My sobs of anger and fear
Sometimes I wish you never met Mama
Cos then I wouldn't be here
Everytime I screw up
I feel so ashamed
I let you know I love you
Why won't you do the same
My heart just cracked and shattered
When you call me dumb
Whenever you put down my jokes
I just feel so numb
I wish I knew what goes on
Up inside your mind
Is there anything good about me
That I could hope to find
You don't seem to see me the way I see you
You don't seem to love me the way I do you
I everything in my power
Just to make you proud
But when you say I'm stupid
I become lost in the crowd
I'd do anything for your love
To know that your care
Save MeMy heart is bleeding
The pain of my loss
My hands are covered
In the blood from my heart
I feel empty
I feel like crying
I feel like the world
Has betrayed me
And I want to tear it apart
I can't look anyone in the eye
I can't breath
I'm falling to pieces
You never really loved meMay I tell you something?
May I tell you the whole truth?
What I'm actually doing here
And what I feel about you
I hate you.
Yes I'm saying this
Right in your face
I hate you with all my heart
With all my power of hate
And you know what?
You completely deserve it
You're such fake
Such a mistake
But I am a loser
Yes I admit
But here are the facts
So deal with it
You're faking person
You don't belong to me
And I am sick of it
I want to cry
I want to scream
But I will survive
And I'll get over it
I'm strong enough to face the truth
Strong to kill all memories of you
I'm not broken hearted
Only betrayed
Whatever you have started
I'm done with it
Living in a fairy tale dreamAll my life I have lived in a dream
not just any dream
but a fairy tale dream
A dream that sounded so real
a dream that I was a hero
to make a life full of happiness
All my life I have lived in a dream
where there was no hurt
and thinking it was real
But than i found out
that this can't be real
that there is no such thing
as a fairy tale
A dream that would make life a better place
life that I always wanted to live
was to live in a fairy tale dream

Take Me To The Pilots '11: ABC's 'Pan Am'
[In case you've Forgotten, and as I will continue to mention each and every one of these posts that I do: This is *not* a review. Pilots change. Sometimes a lot. Often for the better. Sometimes for the worse. But they change. Actual reviews will be coming in September and perhaps October (and maybe midseason in some cases). This is, however, a brief gut reaction to not-for-air pilots.]
Show: "Pan Am" (ABC)
The Pitch:"It's 'Fly Girls' 1963."
Quick Response:Two seasons ago -- my, how time flies -- The CW aired a show about glamorous air hostesses on a glamorous airline with a cult following. The takeaway from the show was that the flight attendants on Virgin viewed themselves as the progressive, mobile, liberated women of the 21st Century, that serving drinks and being patted on the backside by drunk passengers were really just the price of having a job that opened up a world of possibilities which might otherwise have been barred. Due to the period setting and less overall suckage -- "Fly Girls" wasn't a good show -- a similar message gets delivered with more class and a richer subtext in ABC's "Pan Am," which probably ranks as my favorite drama pilot premiering this fall. "Pan Am" takes the sturdy period details that made "The Playboy Club" a not-unpleasant viewing experience for me and raises the ante with superior costume and production design, plus a quantity of special effects that I can only assume was daunting. Everything is highly stylized, almost making "Mad Men" look like a piece of documentary realism, but I dug the hyper-stylized approach, even if I compared "Pan Am" to "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" in my notes a couple times. While I was watching "Pan Am," I was impressed with the time-jumping dexterity of Jack Orman's script, which weaves in dozens of characters, countless historical details, and also works in an espionage undercurrent which, at least for one episode, didn't feel forced. Do I completely buy the empowerment message espoused throughout? Not exactly, but it also didn't make me cringe in the way "Playboy Club" occasionally did. Probably director Tommy Schlamme deserves a lot of credit for holding together the whole package. Schlamme's passionate involvement is a key element of my desire to keep watching "Pan Am" going forward. The cast doesn't hurt. Christina Ricci's being positioned as the big "Pan Am" star, but she's closer to a sturdy supporting player. I'm assuming she's been told things about where this character is going and that's why she took the role. For the pilot, Margot Robbie and Kelli Garner have bigger parts. I've always liked Kelli Garner and this is a much better vehicle for her than "My Generation" was last fall. And while I've never seen Robbie before, I'm prepared to like her quite a bit. The leading man swap between exiting Jonah Lotan and entering Mike Vogel won't make much difference either way.
Desire To Watch Again: It's odd, because I was surprised by how much I was enjoying the pilot as I watched it, but very little stuck with me hours or days later, much less several weeks later. I definitely want to watch more episodes, but I have no trouble imagining directions "Pan Am" might take that would have me dropping out after another week or two. But still, in response to the "Desire to Watch Again," the basic answer is "High."

29 year old man | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking women 20-29 within 20 miles
Have you met...
Michael? Maybe some people will get the reference from one of my favorite shows. haha Anyways, to start out, I'm from Austin/Round Rock and have lived here for most of my life. It is definetely one of my favorite cities. I graduated from pharmacy school almost 2 years ago and moved back to Austin to start my career (I spent 1 and 1/2 years in San Antonio for rotations to finish pharmacy school). I consider myself very driven and motivated, while keeping life fun and exciting. I like going out for dinner and drinks, dancing (two-stepping, dub step, and just about anything), playing poker, watching movies at home (my netflix queue is very long), going to the lake, floating the river, hiking, and more you'll have to ask me about. I really like music, so I like concerts and playing piano. Recently, I've gotten into karaoke at my friend's show. I guess I finally graduated from singing in my car to in front of a bunch of strangers. Also, while I enjoy going out to dinner, I like to cook and wouldn't mind cooking for someone else besides myself. Maybe you can tell me if my food actually tastes good. lol I've been experimenting with making healthier meals that taste good, so I would like someone who also tries to eat healthy. So, what else can I say about myself? Well, I laugh at just about everything and find humor all around me. I try to enjoy every day to the fullest and have a lot of fun, but at the same time I know when I need to be serious and get things done. As for who I'm looking for, I'm looking for someone that I can talk to for hours and laugh with. They also should enjoy the outdoors, like to explore new places, and doesn't take life too seriously (but also has their life together and is driven to achieve their goals). Also, I want someone who is drama free, honest, and most importantly, doesn't play games. I'm actually fairly mature for my age, but that doesn't mean I don't like to have fun and enjoy every day. I'm looking for someone with similar views about life and has their life figured out. Anyways, if you think you are the person I described and I'm what you're looking for, send me a message.

A Confused Supercorsa, and Some History
This story courtesy of CINELLI (Gruppo S.r.l.)
A Confused Supercorsa
Last week an artist friend of ours wrote in with some photos of Cinelli track frame he had bought from Keirin Berlin (www.keirinberlin.de) on a recent trip . He wrote because several irregularities in the frame's production (mostly the English threading of the bottom bracket shell) had caused him to wonder whether the frame was not actually a Supercorsa Pista but perhaps some export-only variant (such as the later Olympic and "Superpista" models).
There are in fact several "irregularities" in this frame which was produced in 1983, but they are full of character (at least in our eyes) and tell a shrouded, vague but fascinating story about a unique period in the history of Cinelli. In 1979 Antonio Colombo, having recently separated the bicycle specific tube manufacture Columbus – his brainchild – from the his family's core A.L. Colombo steelery business, entered as a shareholder in the Cinelli company. He was allowed this by Cino Cinelli who had an eye towards retirement, and who as a long-time world-exclusive distributor of Columbus bicycle tubes had watched Antonio grow the business in recent years and saw that the two of them might have a vision and passion that could be compatible.
One of the first decisions Antonio took when entering the company was to change the logo, a "present to the company" to celebrate 30 years of business was how he sold the action to Cino, who was a little offended by the decidedly modern new logo (and the subsequent announcement of its implementation) Colombo commissioned from an, at the time young and upcoming architect, named Italo Lupi (legendary Bob Noorda also submitted a drawing which was rejected – "troppo triste!" explains Antonio, jokingly). Nevertheless the logo, unique in its style for the time, and probably the most widely imitated ever, was the singularly most modern logo in the bicycle world (which had at that point relied heavily on the traditional heraldic images for graphic representation of marques) was a concrete step towards the expansion of the company's horizons into Italy's then flourishing "design" industry – an attitude and style that has come to symbolise the modern Cinelli.
Nevertheless throughout this period production methods and designs remained more or less unchanged and Antonio brought existing products into a broader dialogue with culture through landmark exhibitions such as "Re-evolution: Design in Italian Society in the 80s" and began commissioning designs in cutting edge industrial materials already beginning to be applied in other sectors such as sports car design: of particular note the use of a particular rubber compound used by Ferrari in the Cinelli Domino stem.
In 1983 Antonio Colombo took greater control of the company and became the majority stake holder, Cino Cinelli retired but his son, Andrea, stayed on as President for several years, collaborating with Antonio and the designers and engineers on several nascent projects of the period.
What makes the frame in the pictures so fascinating is that it is amongst some of first examples of the new Supercorsa frames with the full graphic treatment as designed by Italo Lupi. Up until the early 80s the new winged-C logo had only been used discretely on accessories of various kinds while the graphic scheme of all frames remained in traditional heraldic "Cino Formula" style of 70s.
Several small details in this frame's paintwork, such as the Cinelli logo raised above the legendary pinstripe line on the downtube instead of on it, indicate how early, in fact, this frame is, in the history of the new Supercorsa. The same may be said for the use of the wordmark so low on the seat tube – essentially always obscured by the crank arm and chainrings and never visible to the person not on the bike – a fact which Cinelli only got "smart" to a few years later.
The other particularly interesting detail on this frame, and that which perhaps the framebuilding connoisseur notices first, is the lug set, which is of the sheet type, rather than investment cast. The 3-point lug set on this frame is the traditional sheet style as found on all Cinelli frames up until this point. In the mid-70s Columbus and Cinelli both began investing in investment cast "microfusione" lugs, which had far more precise tolerances of lug thickness and the possibility to produce more exact shapes allowing for faster more efficient construction and somewhat lighter frame weights (for the period), but at the expense of a fascinating, more intimate, evidence of workmanship on the frame (as much of the filing and shaping work had now been eliminated). Even though this new technology was available Cinelli continued to use the traditional sheet lugs, and very special seatcollar lug and seat stay plugs made from Schaffhausen cast iron (extremely rare at the time). These were an industry standard bearer for their kind of precision in production, for all supercorsa models – preferring the possibility for flawless elaboration and "thinning" of lugs as well as the complete liberty of tube angles in construction. In 1982 Gianni Gabella, designer of many landmark Cinelli products of the period, designed a new set of investment cast lugs for the Supercorsa; these were a little shorter, with only two "points". These would be followed, shortly after, by another set of investment cast legs, still used today, with even shorter more rounded lug - emblematic of the modern Italian "sport" style – the seat tube lug and fastback stay with inlaid pearl logo above the bolt, as well as the Cinelli "spoiler" bottom bracket shell – the first bottom bracket shell to significantly resolve the problem of corrosion caused by water residue in the bottom bracket area of steel tubes – a piece of frame building equipment which is still in production (and working!) more than 30 years later.Close up of the unique seat lug made from legendary cast iron of Schaffhausen:
This frame, then, belongs to a small window of production where many various elements of the Cinelli company and race bicycle production in general were in flux; all its irregularities, should one know how to spot them, are full of information and obscure, delightful histories.
Thus this beautiful frame, which sits astride two eras of frame building and two eras of the Cinelli company is a delightful ambiguous vessel of Italian cycling history (for those who care!).

This was a good sneak in of the UP loco! Nice job!, Liked & Fav
Absolutely note once the photo gets a few views etc due to the group(s) or even your Panoramio name it still will get exposure from other sites via APIs. Having it mapped means a lot, some of those APIs tend to crawl based on location.
Thank you very much Alireza Javaheri greetings from Mount Mitchill Scenic Overlook park in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey
wonderful shot F+L
Thank you JB Hunterdon County looks a lot different from Hudson County in the same state...LOL Its amazing just about 40 miles away North, South, or West of NYC the landscape looks like this.
I could imagine if a person is a climber they could easily get up onto the bridge, the nearest road that I see is New Paltz Road according to the Google Map, only could imagine the bridge itself is possible that its most likely private property.

South Africa v Australia - Rugby Championship match preview
Last Updated: 27/09/13 8:48am
Morne Steyn is relishing the chance to renew his half-back partnership with Fourie du Preez when South Africa take on Australia in their must-win Rugby Championship clash.
Du Preez will make his first appearance for the Springboks since the 2011 World Cup after being recalled for the clash in Cape Town, which will be live on Sky Sports 2 HD.
That means the 30-year-old scrum-half, who plays in Japan for Suntory Sungoliath, will link up with his former Bulls team-mate Steyn at Newlands.
"Fourie brings something extra that no other scrum-half can," said Steyn. "The way he reads and controls the game makes such a difference to the fly-half.
"He takes a lot of pressure off me."
The inclusion of Adriaan Strauss is the only other changes to the Boks line-up and the Cheetahs hooker is expecting a tough clash - despite the Wallabies losing the home fixture 38-12.
"That defeat would have stung them and they will be supremely motivated," said Strauss. "They will be looking to up their game, especially the forwards.
"But we are also positive and have been working hard on our scrumming - an area that has gone well for us this season."
The Wallabies have lost four of their five games in this season's Rugby Championship, however coach Ewen McKenzie remains upbeat over his side's chances.
"It is not like the Springboks were way out of our league," he said.
"We did not get to the game plan we wanted last time so we have stuff up our sleeve.
"You need to fight fire with fire to some extent against South Africa and it is pretty clear that we have brought in extra bulk."
Tevita Kuridrani, Joe Tomane and skipper James Horwill all come into the starting XV for the clash, with Adam Ashley-Cooper moving to the wing.
Sitaleki Timani and Benn Robinson have also been added to the bench as Australia look to snap a five-match losing streak in Cape Town.
South Africa: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Willie le Roux, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Jean de Villiers (capt), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Flip van der Merwe, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Bismarck du Plessis, 17 Gurthro Steenkamp, 18 Coenie Oosthuizen, 19 Juandre Kruger, 20 Siya Kolisi, 21 Ruan Pienaar, 22 Patrick Lambie, 23 Jan Serfontein
Australia: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Scott Fardy, 5 James Horwill, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 James Slipper.
Replacements: 16 Saia Faingaa, 17 Benn Robinson, 18 Sekope Kepu, 19 Sitaleki Timani, 20 Ben McCalman, 21 Will Genia, 22 Matt Toomua, 23 Chris Faeuai-Sautia.
South Africa v Australia will be live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 3.15pm or you can watch all the action unfold with a 24-hour Sky Sports Day Pass from NOW TV. For more information visit click here

She's a lady.
Is the site down for anyone else?
Ethin - 15 April 2013 02:30 PMShe's a lady.
What bump map settings do you have?
Hello guys,
I found the Krystal G+ package but it works only with Krystal v1.0. I like to convert the morphs for the new one but I need the old Krystal for that. Has some one a link to the old Krystal v1.0 files?
i was wondering, will anyone try to update Krystal? I would do it, but, right now, my skills suck.
Krystal is the main figure in my character development. Thats why I work on her and create some updates, convert clothing and add some new morphs. The conversion of the Krystal G+ Package is only one of my Projects for her^^
I hope someone has the Krystal 1.0 version of her. I need it really :-(
inu_yasha is this the file you're looking for? http://web.archive.org/web/20070617171709/http://littledragon.francemi.net/zipfiles/Starfox_Krystal_Base.zip
Hmmm, Sorry, inu_yahsa, I didn't realize that France still had what does look like the older version (the one coolcj1990 quoted) on our website, though there is no official link to it.
I can add a real link to the older version, if people want it. Just let me know. Since we don't have any way to contact Little Dragon, I'll take responsibility for putting it back there.
If there are other links that should go on the site for third party items, please send me a pm or post the link in this thread and I'll add them.
Sorry I haven't kept up on this - I really haven't used Krystal and when I took over our website after France died last year, I just left things as she'd had them. I'll go through and delete any links that aren't good or see if I can find updated ones…
Post Count - just add 6775 to what it says here
Coordinator & updater for KCTC Freebies *Remembering France*
Many thanks that is what I want^^ Now I can check what morphs of the KrystalG package I can update for Krystal 1.3.
@Alisa Uh-Lisa
It would be great when you put a separate link to the old files on the page. I don't know that about France so I thought the site is no longer supported and I prepared for reupload when the site would be down. I also created installers of the Krystal package which works like the DAZ Installer. But they include a component selection so you can chose which part of the Krystal bundle you like to install. (A feature I miss in the DAZ installers)
I also work on a concept of automatic update injection into exiting cr2 files via my installers. So I could share updates of her easily without any permission problems^^
When you interested in that what I do with her you can check my gallery on: http://lycanarius.deviantart.com/
Yes, we're hosting these sites
I'm working on updating the links and putting in links to the items that are required for some of the third party stuff, I'll also add in the older version of Krystal Busy with a number of things so it may take a bit.
Some nice images on your site
I'm not sure if there's any need to put up installers for the items that are already on the site with zip files, unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean and these are installers for something you've made?
Are you the one who created the Whisper and BD Lowrise conversions that are linked on the site? The links right now go to the old Daz forums, so I'm changing that to have links to the files.
Glad I could help. Also your art is very well made. I'm particularly impressed with Rao, the new one with the chest fur, and Renamon.
Has anyone successfully dressed Krystal in Genesis clothing using XD4?
I downloaded it yesterday
( I have XD3 and actually did not see any advantages using 4 other than a bit quicker and got more pokethrough! and would need to buy new licenses for other figures too)
it creates a CR2 but looks for a file that is there in geometries called Krystal-starfox- but it does not see it
opening it in notepad it is a vertex list so an unnamed obj file, adding an obj extension did not work either
their website appears offline so no joy looking for more info there
WARNING do not click what video horrors will be seen if you do cannot be unseen.
my render thread
never forget
A Drows Walk
Jaderail is at it again
well I sort of solved it using PP12 and Dimension3D's DSON importer
I resaved the imported .duf of a Genesis dress as a cr2 and that converted
surely one can do it without Poser somehow
( I fortunately have Poser)
the pokethrough was again bad so added a smoothing modifier in studio

Former Cleveland Browns QB Bernie Kosar appeared on ESPN Radio Cleveland yesterday afternoon and gave a short, troubling interview where he audibly stumbled and slurred over his words. Kosar was doing his weekly spot on The Hooligans when the conversation devolved into a series of incoherent comments from the former Browns legend. Kosar talked about "franks and beans" and referred to "ducks and dynasty" and clearly was in no shape to be interviewed. Host Bruce Hooley actually tried to cut Kosar off, but the interview continued for another couple uncomfortable minutes. I've watched my fair share of Browns preseason games where Kosar serves as the color commentator and the jokes always go that Bernie sounds drunk. He naturally tends to slur his words a bit when he speaks, but this goes well and beyond a joking matter. Something definitely did not sound right in that interview. Kosar has had some documented personal issues to deal with in the past, so here's hoping this audio isn't a sign of trouble currently facing Kosar. (H/T TheRTTC)
I heard part of that and wondered if he had just come from the dentist. If under the influence of anesthesia, alcohol, or other, the screener should have alerted a station manager before putting him on air. That's unforgivable.
Bernie has had this problem for years, only it is getting worse. In my opinion it is either from numerous concussions or possibly pain pills from all of his pain from playing day injuries. I could be wrong; who am I to judge. However, if Bernie needs help I hope he gets it. Love the guy and his NFL career.

What Milwaukee is talking about
From laid-off GM worker to bowling champ
No offense to professional bowlers, really.
And no offense to this guy, who was laid off from a General Motors assembly plant last year and now has a world ranking in bowling and won a PBA event over the weekend.
But if you can walk off an assembly plant, put on bowling shoes and immediately become one of the world's best in a sport, well, what's up with that sport?
We're also mulling sports careers for ex journalists. The Winter Olympics is coming up. Some curling team might need additional members.

Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) is set to roll out an entirely redesigned Residential rate structure that could spark serious concerns if you are a big user of energy. Here's our analysis.
PWP customers have been pretty smug (something we are apparently famous for) as we sit back and watch our neighbors in SCE territory suffer through significant rate increases. Well, no more. Now you too, fellow PWP customers, are about to feel the bite of a double digit rate increase. And here's the thing—the more you use, the bigger that rate increase will be!
PWP has a somewhat hybrid rate structure, meaning that while the pure energy charges are the same no matter how much energy you use (in contrast with SCE's four-tier rate structure), other components, most notably the customer and distribution charges, are actually tiered. In the newly revised rate structure the customer charge is now split out and is a flat fee of $7.76/month. The distribution charge, however, remains tiered under the new structure, albeit in an odd fashion. The first 350 kWh of energy per month see a low distribution charge of just 1.5¢/kWh. The next 400 are really jacked up: to 11.65¢/kWh before subsiding to 8.5¢/kWh for every kWh thereafter. Which raises the question: if you want to incentivize people to reduce their usage, why is the third tier lower than the second?
As a result of the change in structure as well as the rate components, the impact on your bill varies a lot depending on your usage, as you can see from the following chart:
The gray bars are the old rates, the red bars are the new rates and the red line tracks the percentage annual increase over the range of 15 to 100 kWh of energy usage per day.
As you can see, two bars (at 15 and 25 kWh) actually show rate decreases and the percentage increase continues to swing back and forth until you get to 35 kWh per day when the increase is monotonically upward.
Indeed, if you are sucking down 100 kWh/day, your rates will go up by nearly 50%!
Fortunately, very few customers are in such rarefied air as that; but a homeowner who had an average usage of about 25 kWh/day who then goes out and purchases an EV that she drives a lot, could bump into the 50 kWh range and she would see a 19% rate increase. Have a big house with a pool and a jacuzzi and a couple of EVs? If that gets you to 80 kWh/day your rate increase will be 40%!
In fact, it is actually worse than what we are showing here since this is only looking at the energy services part of your bill. On the left-hand-side of your bill you will find the Public Benefit Charge (tied to how much energy you use) and it is going up by 19%. On top of that are taxes that you pay on those energy services amounts and you can see that PWP customers, except on the lowest end of the scale, are in for some serious rate hikes starting July 1.
Of course, solar is the perfect hedge against these rate increases (and others sure to come in the future) and PWP still is offering the highest rebates around: $0.85/Watt. But in all likelihood we will see those rebates step down soon so now is the time to act! Give us a call at 626-793-6025 and let's get started.
Yesterday we wrote about how SCE's residential customers who take service under the Domestic rate structure could see their bills rise by 12% or more starting with their June bills, and we warned commercial customers not to get complacent about their own bills. Today we drop the other shoe: GS-1 and GS-2 customers, the bad news starts now.
SCE's commercial customers (what it refers to as general service, hence the "GS") are largely divided into two groups: those that pay only for monthly energy usage (GS-1) and those that pay for both usage and peak power demand charges (GS-2). You can use all the energy you want in a month, but as long as your peak power demand never exceeds 20 kW you will stay in GS-1. Once your demand sneaks past 20 kW however, you will be assigned to paying higher bills under GS-2.
Solar for GS-1 users is a no brainer, just as it now is for SCE's residential customers. For GS-2 customers, however, the question is a tougher call since it can be very hard to know how well solar will coincide with a potential client's peak power demands, and it is those demand charges that so drive the pain of GS-2 bills. Neither GS-1 nor GS-2 are tiered, meaning that every kWh of energy is charged the same. Under GS-2, however, demand charges are significantly higher during the summer than they are the rest of the year.
We have a cool simulator (based on the old rates) that shows how your actual usage drives the difference between GS-1 and GS-2 rates.
We said that you could use all of the energy you like and remain in GS-1 but that's not strictly true—if your peak power demand stays below 20 kW you can only pull so much energy into your site. Let's imagine a commercial entity that is right under that limit: say 19 kW peak demand and they sustain that demand for 10 hours a day, every day. The remaining 14 hours their demand drops to just 5 kW. Their daily usage averages:
Usage = 10*19 + 14*5 = 190 + 70 = 260 kWh/day.
Under the old rate, this maxed-out GS-1 customer would have seen a bill of $15,355 or roughly 16.2¢/kWh. (A bargain, by the way, compared to what a residential customer using that much energy would have paid.)
Under the new rate, their bill jumps to $16,777 an increase of 9.26%, and now they are paying 17.7¢/kWh.
We recently provided a proposal to a potential GS-2 client, so we will model their usage to demonstrate what the new rates will do to a GS-2 customer's bill. Their usage has peak demands that average 119 kW per year, but spike as high as 167 kW during the summer. Their daily energy usage is substantial as well, ranging between 600 and nearly 1,000 kWh per day from winter to summer.
Under the old rates, they were paying some $56,873 or 21.73¢/kWh. The new rates will see their bill climb to $59,598, and increase of 4.79%, averaging 22.77¢/kWh.
But here's the interesting thing about the new GS-2 rate: it is actually more beneficial to solar customers, since the increase is mostly in the per kWh charge. Indeed, when we model our potential client's savings in Year 1 under the new rate as compared to the old, it increases by over $1,000—going from $14,808 to $15,818, a 6.8% savings increase for no additional out-of-pocket expense! Their payback now occurs in Year 6 instead of Year 7, their IRR increases from 12.2% to 12.9% and they will have saved an additional $12,000 in Year 10 than they would have under the old rates. (Combine the solar power system with intelligent storage and you are really on to something.)
SCE's rates are going up for all classes of customers that we see: residential (12%+), small commercial (9%), and large commercial (4.8%). Solar can help all of these customer classes, and GS-2 customers can see an even greater savings from solar under the new rates than they could before. Oh, and SCE still has some rebate money for commercial projects, but that won't last for long.
Stop suffering, start saving—make this the summer you go solar.
One of our astute readers contacted us to ask if we had noticed that SCE had just increased their rates—and dramatically. That got our attention so we decided to spend some quality time amidst SCE's tariffs. The news is mixed: terrible news for people who are going to have to pay these crazy rates, but great news for everyone who can install solar. In fact, SCE's new domestic rate is about all anyone would need to be convinced to finally make the switch to solar.
In case you did not know it, every SCE tariff—that is, the rate structures under which they bill their customers such as the Domestic tariff for most residential customers or GS-1 and GS-2 for most commercial customers—can be found on their website. If you know where to look. (Hint: look here!) Of course, when you do find what you are looking for, you are rewarded with something that looks like this:
This is one half of SCE's Domestic rate (the delivery portion)—and this is about the simplest rate structure that they use! So it is not surprising that most normal people don't really examine these things to see what is going on—they just groan and pay the bill.
But we suspect people will do more than groan when they look at their bills this summer.
We had been working on a solar proposal for a prospective client in SCE territory when we learned about the rate change. The client's usage was relatively high, averaging 55 kWh/day over the course of the year; high, but still far lower than some of our clients. Under the rate structure in effect prior to June 1, this client's annual bill worked out to $5,100 but after applying the new rates her annual total jumped to $5,750—an increase of a whopping 12.7%!
We will pause a moment to let that sink in.
What about that other potential client we wrote about, the one whose SCE bill already contained an incredibly misleading chart purporting to help her understand her bill. What impact will these new rates have for her? Under the rates in place before June 1, her total bill for the year was an already eye-popping $8,435—ouch! But under the new rates? Her new bill becomes $9,560—an increase of 13.4%!
So what is actually going on here? Turns out that the rates on the high end, Tiers 3 and 4, are the culprits, increasing by 16.4% and 14.8% respectively. Live in Tier 4 this summer and you will be paying 34.8¢/kWh for the privilege!
There is a silver lining here and that is that adding solar pays off better than ever. If your solar power system gets you out of Tier 4 alone, you will save thousands of dollars a year. For our prospective client who averaged 55 kWh per day, her savings come to $4,171 in Year 1. Even without a rebate from SCE (which for now at least has gone the way of the Dodo), her payback is in Year 5! After 10 years, thanks to these new rates, she will have saved an additional $25,000! And by avoiding a lease (this client is planning on using HERO financing), those benefits all go to her!
We have said it before and we will say it again: utility rates are only going up. While this example pertains to just SCE's residential customers, guess what? You commercial customers are about to see your rates go up as well (more on that soon). And muni customers, now is not really the time to feel smug as your rates are going up too (and yes, PWP folks, we mean you!).
Give us a call and let's see if we can't help—contrary to the song, we've got a cure for these summertime blues!
We have looked at a lot of electric bills.
Pretty much every potential client that we speak to sends us a year's worth of their electric bills as the first step in the process of getting a proposal for adding solar to their home or business. We use that data to model what your actual savings will be, based on the rate structure that the utility applies to you as their customer. Some of those rate structures are really complicated (like this time-of-use rate for EV charging), but for most residential clients, the rate should be relatively straight forward. After all, you are only paying for total usage (not demand charges) and most folks aren't yet on a time-of-use rate. How complicated can it be?
But we had a bit of an epiphany the other day as we tried to explain an SCE bill to a couple at their kitchen table. Perhaps you've noticed this little chart if you are an SCE customer:
Presumably this is SCE's attempt in helping you to understand your bill. So what is going on here? SCE residential customers are under a tiered rate structure. The lowest tier, the so-called baseline rate, is relatively cheap at roughly thirteen cents per kilowatt hour for the first few hundred kilowatt hours needed. Of course, no one uses just their baseline allocation and so the second tier is a tiny slice that is 30% of the baseline. If you stay in those first two tiers, congratulations, you are getting some pretty cheap energy.
Tier 3 is where things start to get pricey, with the cost per kilowatt hour doubling from what you paid for baseline. Tier 3's allocation is 70% of baseline, which mean that if you use more than twice your baseline allocation, you are out of Tier 3 and into the dreaded Tier 4 where you will pay more than 31¢/kWh.
Ok, so far so good. But notice the odd thing that is going on in that graph. The widths of Tiers 1-3 are actually proportionate to reality. The width of the bar for Tier 1 is equal width to the sum of the bars for Tiers 2 & 3— which is exactly how the rate structure works. But what is going on with that bar for Tier 4? At a quick glance, you might think that you are using about the same amount of energy in Tier 4 as you did in Tier 1 (or Tiers 2 & 3). But look at the number: whereas Tier 1 was 399 kWh, the usage in Tier 4 is more than four times that amount at 1,799 kWhs! This client is living in Tier 4!
This is not only not helpful to "understanding your bill," this is downright deceptive.
So what should this actually look like if drawn to scale? How about this:
Now the true impact of this client's high energy usage starts to become clearer. Their usage is dominated by Tier 4 but you never would have seen that relying on the chart provided by SCE.
Of course for most clients, they are more interested in what they are paying, and it is here that the real impact of SCE's tiered rate structure comes home. Check out this chart:
Wow - this client is spending 10x as much on Tier 4 as they are on Tier 1! That is some painful energy costs right there!
To be sure, if you review your bill carefully, you could find this same information, but the bill obscures the facts by parsing out the numbers in a manner that only makes sense to the lawyers who crafted the rate structure (and those of us who have made it our business to decipher them).
We have a suggestion to our friends at SCE—if you really want to help your customers understand their bills, start by ditching the misleading charts and replace them with a clear representation that makes the facts readily understandable.
In the meantime we will continue to do our part, one kitchen table at a time.
It is official, Unirac has decided to discontinue its Solarmount Evolution product, thereby ending the run of what we considered the best solar racking solution in the industry.
This despite our Open Letter to Unirac Management. Who would have guessed that they would ignore our concerns? (Well ok, pretty much everybody would have guessed that…)
In a one-line email, SM-E Product Manager, Keith Hardy broke the bad news:
After much deliberation, Unirac has decided to discontinue sales of the SME product line (effective 30 May 2014). Thank you.
Less it be lost to the sands of time, this is how Unirac used to promote this product:
Silly us, we actually believed that this was a product that "redefined what residential mounting systems can offer distributors and installers." To say nothing of homeowners, the most important constituency in this whole process. Suffice it to say, we think this is a really bad call.
No word from Unirac on what is replacing SM-E, if anything, and with Intersolar 2014 just around the corner ("are you goin' to San Francisco?") it looks like we will be in the market for a new racking solution.
Cue the sales people—our business is now up for grabs!

First, we spit out our coffee over President Obama's appointments of former Monsanto goon Michael Taylor as Food Safety [sic] Czar and 'biotech governor of the year' Tom Vilsack as Secretary of Agriculture. Then we choked on our grits when he made Monsanto lobbyist, Islam Siddiqui, the US Ag Trade Representative. Now, the real food movement has completely lost its appetite with Obama's nomination of Monsanto defender, Elena Kagan, to the US Supreme Court.
In December 2009, in her capacity as Solicitor General, Kagan intervened in the first case on which SCOTUS will rule involving genetically modified crops, Monsanto v Geertson Seed. She defended Monsanto's fight to contaminate the environment with its GM alfalfa, not the American people's right to safe feed and a protected environment.
The lower court ruled that "contamination of organic and conventional alfalfa crops with the genetically engineered gene has occurred and defendants acknowledge as much.

Actually, it didn't help at all. Opening tab with podcasts freezes iTunes. Disappointing :(
Since this update it happened already three times that iTunes deleted nearly all my podcast episodes and began downloading only the recent episodes, also the ones I have already listened to and that were already deleted.

Canada-Europe trade deal risks derailment over visa spat
Canada's aim for a trade deal with the European Union has hit a stumbling block as European officials issue caution over tricky visa requirements for citizens of Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Romania.

OTTAWA— Canada's desire for a sweeping free trade pact with the European Union is unlikely to happen unless Ottawa drops its visa requirements for three European countries, the EU ambassador warns.
And even as Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and International Trade Minister Ed Fast launch a national campaign to sell the merits of the deal to Canadians, European Union officials are warning significant hurdles lie ahead, notably tough negotiations on agriculture.
Both Canada and the European Union hope to sign the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) —billed as Ottawa's most ambitious trade agreement yet—sometime this year.
But passage of the deal requires not just the approval of the European Parliament but the individual EU member nations as well. And three of those countries — Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania — are unlikely to endorse the trade pact unless Canada lifts its visa requirement on their citizens, said Matthias Brinkmann, the EU's ambassador in Canada.
The 27-nation European Union doesn't require visa for Canadian visitors and wants reciprocal treatment, Brinkmann said Thursday, calling the visas an "irritant."
Canada slapped the visa requirement on the Czech Republic in particular in 2009 to stem an influx of Roma refugees.
Ottawa is hoping sweeping immigration reforms proposed earlier this year will discourage claimants and allow the visa restrictions to be lifted, eliminating the stumbling block on its free trade agenda.
Among the changes, refugees from countries deemed "safe" would be fast-tracked through the hearing process in a bid to speedily deport bogus claimants.
Negotiations on the trade deal are continuing though the trickiest issues have been left to the final stages and the "end game" may require "political oversight," Brinkmann said.
That includes talks on agriculture, which EU officials conceded are "always the hardest to deal with."
The Europeans said they are not interested in pressing Canada to abandon its supply management over things like dairy products. But they want greater access to the Canadian market by boosting a quota that hasn't changed in years.
And the quid pro quo would be greater access for beef and pork producers to the European market.
"There will be no beef without dairy," Brinkmann pointedly said.
However some EU officials said the trade-offs could come in other areas as well, such as intellectual property or public procurement.
"I think what we are looking for in the end is an overall balance," one official said.
On Friday, cabinet ministers will be speaking across the country to boost the benefits of the trade deal to "workers and businesses in every region of the country," according to a news release.
Baird and Fast will speak in Ottawa while other ministers will fan out to the other provinces to give their sales pitch.
The Harper government says free trade with the EU would add $12 billion a year to Canadian economic activity and boost two-way trade by 20 per cent.
