Clear Labels are not just for addresses anymore!

Comments about Avery Dennison Easy Peel Mailing Label:
I use the 1" x 2 5/8" clear laser labels (and other sizes) to label vials and bottles in the lab. We do HPLC analysis on a variety of tissues. We use 20 ml glass bottles for storage, and small 1 ml vials in the sampler. I use a mail merge document and a spreadsheet to generate the labels. It is so easy! I just peel and stick! NO more hand-writing with a marker that will rub off! They even stick to the glass in the freezer. Even better, I don't have to buy "lab only" labels that are much more expensive. I just wish I had thought of it sooner!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use these for my husband's mailings to his baseball field sponsers for little league. I was able to add a baseball and the return address with no problems. I also use these for my personal return mailing addresses and love it!
Great for Invitation Envelopes
By EmergencyLabels
Most recently: These clear labels worked perfectly for addressing wedding shower envelopes. We actually used them for the address portion rather than the return address. Because they are clear they looked nice on the colored envelopes, and they were easy to use with the database file the bride provided input the Avery software. I still use the old Avery software on my hard drive, but I imagine you could do the same thing with the Avery Design & Print Online software.Works great, easy to find in store, good price, combined with Avery software it makes great looking individual labels (they don't all have to have the same info... the software will put individual names and addresses in from your xcel file without much trouble.) You can even add an image, a flower, design, outline, etc. They are not too sticky on fingers, so they are easy to handle but they stick to paper just fine.
Great product
By Khall
These labels are great for any use. File folders, books, cups, bags etc. They are especially nice because you can print some and then still go back and use the rest through you printer without jamming the printer!
Does the job suberbly !
By EANN
I have a group to whom I send newsletters periodically. It is important that the labels adhere properly and print legibly. The Laser 15667 labels (Avery), always print correctly and look great on my envelopes. I especially like the fact that they are clear, and they look like they might be printed directly on the envelope. I like that I can peel them easily from the backing paper, and sometimes I split the columns apart and put one of these label "columns" in my bag and use it whenever I need to fill in my name and address. I use other Avery products and I have excellent results with them, too.
Life is so easy now!
By barba0727
Perfect! Just perfect for return address labels. Just type it out, print it and peel it!
Awesome labels!
By JChris40
I have actually never printed mailing labels before and I have to say these labels were super easy!! I downloaded the template, typed in my address, loaded the labels and they printed perfectly. The label sheet has little arrows so you know how to load the sheet in your printer. Plus, I have to say they were easy to peel and stick. My husband and I were mailing invitations to 50 people and these labels made is go fast. Also, the clear labels look really nice on white envelopes.
Avery #5630 Clear Labels
By doctorrich71
I use these labels every year for our annual Christmas card mass mailing.Since they are clear, they virtually disappear on the envelopes no matter what color the envelopes are.They are easily removed from the sheet and applied to the envelope.

I love these labels! They are the perfect size for use on my clear plastic PET jars and give my products a professional appearance. Highly recommend!

I needed to produce a couple of hundred address labels for a charity event and this product worked like a dream. It was extremely easy to use and looked very professional.

BME leading link pivot bushes
I have a BME leading link, made by Bob Martin Engineering in 2001. Doing my pre Alpine Rally checks, I found play in the swingarm pivot bushes.
Does anyone know if they are commercially available, or will I have to turn them up from a block?
The outer of the brass is 19mm, the inner is 16mm.
Also do the steel inners wear? There are no wear marks on the bolt, but it is not a very tight fit.
More messurments are needed. How long are they? Do they have a shoulder. If you are in the USA I would check with McMaster Carr as if they are made, chances are they will have them and more often then not when you place an order they arrive the next day.
BTW, on our leading link front ends we run two ball bearings on each side for a total of 4 bearings. Never considered bushings.
Jay G
DMC sidecars
I checked at McMaster here:
I see that they have 19mm od but those come in 15mm bore
Then there is the 16 mm bore but those come in 20mm od
These are the non-flange types that your's appear in the picture to be.
They also show flange styles but seems id/od are in the same range.
So if you have a lathe or access to one guess you could go either way. Or maybe use those with the correct od and then after pressing them in have them reamed to fit the sleeves.
Thanks for the replies guys. I'm in Australia, forgot it didn't come up on the profile, hence using metric measurements :zilla. The width is 38.5mm and there is no shoulder.
On reassembly I found that the clearance is ok, but the play was actually end play, so don't need the bushes so urgently now and just put some packing to reduce the side to side movement. The front end has done over 120,000 km of hard use and has never had a problem, but being a sidecar racer as well, I know how much load they are under, so check regularly.
I figured out the Australia part after I Googled the guy who built the front end!
I'm almost bilingual here in the USA as far as measurements go that is.
If the movement is side play how about having a light cut taken off the side of the inner sleeves? If you were near by I could do it in less time than it takes to type this reply in my old leather belt driven lathe!

Tearing with Quadro FX 570M
I've been looking for a solution quite a lot of time. Modding xorg.conf and enabling vsync in nvidia settings are of no use. The only thing that removes tearing is vsync option in Compiz settings manager. What does comiz' vsync do that nvidia's doesn't?

(any other information to provide? I really see no point in including errorlog, since... anything isn't broken per se)
Re: Tearing with Quadro FX 570M
What do you want?
You run Compiz to make all display trough it and then complains that you must set VSYNC in it?
Disable Compositing in xorg.conf and then it will not interfere with Xorg anymore.

Dings and dents
Jason Varitek was originally in the lineup, but he had to be pulled because of muscles spasms in his neck. Victor Martinez takes over at catcher, Kevin Youkilis moves to first, Mike Lowell moves to third, and David Ortiz will DH.
Tim Wakefield threw another bullpen session before the game, and Victor Martinez caught him. It's still hard to say when Wakefield will return. Manager Terry Francona said "there's a pretty good chance" Wakefield will make a rehab start Friday in Pawtucket, adding that Wakefield's nerve injury in his back will likely require surgery at some point.
"This is a tough decision to make," Francona said. "I think we all think he can help us on the mound. But there are some other issues involved fielding your position, is it going to get weaker, is he going to hurt himself in another area? So well do the best we can.
"We all know whats wrong with him. At some point, hes probably going to need surgery. If he has surgery this week, were probably not going to have him available next week. So, trying to figure out what to do."
In his side, Wakefield only threw and did not field any balls, but he ran sprints in the outfield when he finished. "It's getting better," Wakefield said. "I feel like I am" ready to pitch in a game. "It's just up to whether or not they want me to."
If and when Wakefield returns, Martinez will likely become his catcher. Martinez has no prior experience catching the knuckleball, and today was the second he caught Wakefield. Bullpen coach Gary Tuck reported to Francona that Martinez was enthusiastic about the challenge and did well today, even with the roof closed in Rogers Centre, which means the knuckler was dancing more than usual.
Martinez "actually did real well," Francona said. "Now, its the bullpen. If you have to go retrieve it, nobody is running to second."
Martinez used a bigger glove to catch Wakefield. "I thought it was OK," Martinez said. "I dropped some balls, but we'll see. Because of the dome, it moved more than it usually does. I thought it was good. I will do my best, and we'll see what happens."
And, finally, J.D. Drew is in the lineup. Francona planned to sit him until tomorrow, but he felt "well enough to play," Drew said. So he will.

My wife had an '95 R1100R that burned absolutely no oil throughout her term of ownership, about 10,000 miles. The owner of today's bike asserted that,"They all do it." He indicated that he did have to top off between changes.
I find it hard to believe that a modern boxer necessarily uses oil in this manner. What can you tell me about this issue?
Thanks in advance for any info.
I would consider 43,000 miles low miles for this vintage boxer. As to the oil use, inquire of the owner how he rides the bike. If the bike gets lugged, it will put some oil into the exhaust. Higher RPMs tend to press the rings against the cylinder walls and reduce oil consumption.
If the engine has been an oiler since new, it was not properly ridden during the first 2-3000 miles. These engine once properly bedded in do not use oil. My 2001 never requires topping up. I change engine oil annually regardless of miles using Mobil1 15w-50.

Jenrry Mejia Rumors
The Mets' 2011 Rotation
It seems like an odd thing to say about a team currently sitting at 67-71, but next year's version of the New York Mets may not have room at the inn for additional acquisitions.
Currently starting for the Mets are four pitchers who have certainly performed well enough to be relied upon in 2011, while a fifth, currently auditioning, has the best stuff of any of them. Furthermore, all five are under team control for next year.
Let's break the staff down:
Next year's Opening Day starter is likely to be Johan Santana, who has weathered an alarming early-season slide to become the Santana the Mets expected when they signed him to a six-year, $137.5MM contract after trading for him in in February 2008. Through the end of June, Santana pitched to a respectable 3.55 ERA, but that masked a strikeout rate on the season of just 5.7 K/9, down more than two per nine from his 2008-2009 levels.
Since July 1, however, Santana has a 2.37 ERA, with a far stronger 7.4 K/9. It appears that temporary dip may have been Santana recovering from elbow surgery – Santana appears to believe that's the case. It is certainly a relief to the Mets, who owe Santana $22.5MM in 2011, $24MM in 2012 and $25MM in 2013.
Meanwhile, the best ERA among the starters belongs not to Santana, but to R.A. Dickey, who actually began the year in Triple-A. And while it is tempting to believe a 2.91 ERA from a 35-year-old pitcher who entered the season with a career 5.43 ERA is a fluke, there are plenty of reasons to believe otherwise in this case.
For one thing, Dickey has only been relying on his knuckleball for five years and his minor league performance has improved steadily since. For another, his peripherals are quite good, particularly his 2.2 walks per nine innings, despite throwing a huge majority of knucklers, a notoriously hard pitch to control.
With his limited time in the major leagues, Dickey has yet to accrue enough service time for free agency, so the Mets control him merely by offering arbitration. The smart money here is on the two sides agreeing to a multi-year deal that avoids arbitration and provides Dickey with some security. Remember: Phil Niekro had 12 200-plus inning seasons after age 35. The clock is different with knuckleball pitchers.
Another mainstay for 2011 is Jon Niese, who has impressed all year long and now has a 3.85 ERA with 3.0 walks and 7.5 strikeouts per nine innings. His numbers are actually skewed by three recent poor starts; the Mets have left Niese in games until he looked fatigued, rather than managing his workload more cautiously.
The fourth horseman for the Mets is Mike Pelfrey, who seems to constantly be disappointing people who are waiting for him to be something other than a reliable innings-eater. Pelfrey's fluctuating ERA- 3.72 in 2008, 5.03 in 2009, 3.96 in 2010- is almost entirely a function of luck and defense, with peripherals staying ludicrously consistent in all three seasons. Even during his 10-2, 2.93 ERA start in 2010, his strikeout rate never reached six per nine innings. Pelfrey will almost certainly be offered arbitration and remain in the rotation in 2011.
That leaves the fifth spot, and Jenrry Mejia, the 20-year-old with the blazing fastball and intermittent command of his secondary pitches, aims to fill the role. He made his first major league start last Saturday, after his lone Triple-A start.
It is nearly impossible to know exactly what Mejia can give the Mets in 2011. His upside is certainly high, with terrific movement on his curveball and changeup to go along with a major league fastball that sits in the mid-nineties. But he is also an inexperienced pitcher with no track record of starting success, aside from a combined 17 starts above Single-A.
Still, with plenty of other holes and signals from the team that very little money will be spent this offseason, Mejia will likely get the opportunity to learn on the job.
One can imagine the only opportunities New York will have for starters in 2011 will be in the area of organizational depth. If Mejia falters, or one of the other four pitchers gets injured, the only Plan Bs available right now are the underwhelming Dillon Gee (who starts tonight) and Tobi Stoner, or the much-maligned Oliver Perez, who will head to the Mexican League after the season and try to find his fastball.

What The Mariners Wanted For Cliff Lee
Annoyed your favorite team didn't strike a deal with the Mariners for Cliff Lee? At least consider the details of Jack Zduriencik's high asking price, as reported by Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
According to Sherman, the Mariners general manager set out to acquire "an interested organization's best position prospect with less than one year of service." He was offered none better than the Rangers' Justin Smoak. The Yankees' Jesus Montero was apparently the next-best position prospect offered. Zduriencik also targeted players such as Ike Davis of the Mets, Desmond Jennings of the Rays, Domonic Brown of the Phillies, Gordon Beckham of the White Sox, and Brett Lawrie (who would've had to have come from the Brewers in a three-way deal). Sherman notes that the Mets never offered a player better than Fernando Martinez; Jenrry Mejia and Wilmer Flores "were never part of discussions."
Sherman also gets into the failed Yankees-Lee deal like only he can. He gathered that the Yankees and Mariners had a deal in principle, at which point teams expect you to stop talking to other clubs. Sherman expects the bad blood to linger, making the Yanks unwilling to deal with the Mariners in the future. The Yankees were also apparently "rankled" by Seattle's confusingly high asking price for Jarrod Washburn last summer. Another thought: an executive recently wondered aloud to me how Kevin Towers was involved in the Lee trade talks. Towers has a close relationship with both Brian Cashman and Zduriencik.
From the Rangers' point of view, GM Jon Daniels indicated today to The Ticket's Norm Hitzges that he continually had an open dialogue with the Mariners. Daniels felt that the Rangers were in second place Friday morning, until he adjusted his offer.

Cliff Lee Rumors: Wednesday
9:25pm: An AL GM told ESPN.com's Buster Olney that he believes the Twins could acquire Lee with a package built around prospect Wilson Ramos. Rival GMs believe the Rangers may be better off holding onto their prospects than acquiring Lee.
4:15pm: The Mariners have not started making counter offers for Lee, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney. Rival executives remind Olney that the Mariners may want to deal soon, since an injury would deflate Lee's trade value (all Twitter links)
3:37pm: The Mets, Yankees, Rangers and Phillies appeared to be the only teams scouting Lee last night, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The Twins and Dodgers were among the interested teams that did not attend, but it is early and Lee is a known commodity, so the lack of scouts hardly means there's a lack of interest.
10:11am: The Mariners will require a blue-chip prospect in a Cliff Lee trade, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post, even though the last two Lee trades may not have included one. Sherman suggests the Mets want Lee badly, while the Yankees would just like the Ms to "keep them posted."
Sherman explains that the Mariners like, but don't love, Mets pitching prospect Jenrry Mejia. He feels that a Mets trade would have to be built around Mejia or Wilmer Flores. The Mets are willing to trade Flores in a Lee deal, reports Matthew Cerrone of MetsBlog. They're reluctant to part with other top prospects. The Mets would like to trade for a starting pitcher as soon as possible, but Cerrone says the Mariners prefer to wait until after the All-Star break to trade Lee.
From the Yankees side, Sherman recommends they make Jesus Montero available. They've done so before when Lee and Roy Halladay were on the trade market. Sherman also notes that the Mariners like Yankees Double A second baseman David Adams. Baseball America ranked Adams 22nd among Yankees prospects heading into the season, and he sports a .309/.393/.507 line at Trenton. Should the Yanks prefer to pursue Lee as a free agent, Bill Madden of the New York Daily News learned that old friend C.C. Sabathia would be happy to help recruit.
In a longer blog post, Sherman elaborates on what Lee would mean for the Mets, what the Mariners will require, and how prospects are overvalued these days.

Could Mets Acquire Cliff Lee Without Mejia?
Will Jenrry Mejia's posterior cuff strain prevent the Mets from trading for Mariners ace Cliff Lee? GM Omar Minaya obviously could not talk specifically about Lee when asked by Kevin Kernan of the New York Post "if the Mejia setback is a setback to trade possibilities." But Minaya kept a brave face and replied, "I don't think so because I think we have other very good possibilities." At least one of Minaya's current players does think the team lost its chance to acquire Lee with Mejia's injury, according to Kernan.
Maybe there is a chance, given Ken Rosenthal's June 19th report for FOX Sports suggesting the Mariners want young hitters in return for Lee. At that time Rosenthal didn't think the Mets would be willing to give up Ike Davis to rent Lee. John Hickey of AOL FanHouse wrote yesterday about a consensus among Mariners insiders that the team should add talent around the Double A level in a Lee deal. More specifically, outfielders and lefthanded starters would be a good fit.
In my opinion, the Mets probably couldn't swing a Lee trade with Fernando Martinez as the centerpiece. He's hitting .248/.299/.397 at Triple A currently. Starter Brad Holt is struggling at Double A, though second baseman Reese Havens was raking before hitting the DL with an oblique injury. We heard from Rosenthal on June 7th that the Mets are high on infielder Ruben Tejada, enough that they would be reluctant to include him in a Roy Oswalt trade. In a June 23rd article, Mark Hale of the New York Post found the Mets unlikely to include Mejia, Davis, or Jonathon Niese in a Lee offer. He opined that the Mets would have to build the deal around names like Tejada, Martinez, Wilmer Flores, Jeurys Familia, and Josh Thole. From where I'm sitting, the Mets don't seem like the team that will ultimately make the best offer for Lee.

Mets' Targets Include Cliff Lee, Ted Lilly
The Mets will be in on Seattle ace Cliff Lee – that appears certain. Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Omar Minaya has notified Jack Zduriencik of his interest, and the Mets are scouting Lee's starts.
Contrary to a Kevin Burkhardt report last night, Sherman says the Mets "would not need a negotiating window to sign Lee long-term even if it includes top prospect Jenrry Mejia in a package." However, between the injuries to potential trade chips Mejia and Angel Pagan and the ownership approval needed to pull the trigger, Minaya faces hurdles in acquiring Lee.
Sherman writes "the Mets have little interest" in Roy Oswalt and Fausto Carmona. Instead, Cubs southpaw Ted Lilly might head up their list of Lee alternatives. Lilly has been excellent since signing a four-year, $40MM deal with the Cubs in December of '06. The contract has about $6.4MM remaining. Though Lilly profiles as a Type A free agent after the season, an arbitration offer is in question. I doubt Lilly's limited no-trade provision will be an obstacle, as he's probably eager to return to the playoffs. The Cubs have about a month to decide whether to cash in their chips, and Lilly is their best one.

Mets Won't Deal Mejia Without Negotiating Window
The Mets aren't ready to deal Jenrry Mejia in a package for Cliff Lee unless Lee gives them a negotiating window, according to Kevin Burkhardt of SNY (via Twitter). Recently, it was reported that the Mets would be unlikely to deal Mejia, Jonathon Niese, or Ike Davis for the 2008 Cy Young winner.
Burkhardt adds (also via Twitter) that the Mets could change their minds on the matter. However, if Seattle is willing to deal Lee sooner rather than later, there may not be much time to have a change of heart. The Twins and Dodgers are also said to be in the mix for Lee and could beat GM Omar Minaya to the punch. Many feel that Minnesota is the front-runner in the Lee sweepstakes.

Mets Willing To Rent Lee From Mariners
The Mets are willing to deal for Cliff Lee without requiring a negotiating window to sign him to an extension, a source with knowledge of the team's thinking told Mark Hale of the New York Post. Two years ago, when the Mets agreed to trade for Johan Santana, they secured a 72-hour negotiating window with the ace.
The source also told Hale that the club would be unlikely to trade Jenrry Mejia, Jonathon Niese, or Ike Davis for Lee. Without those three in a deal, the Mets could offer the M's a package built around prospects such as Ruben Tejada, Fernando Martinez, Wilmer Flores, Jeurys Familia, and Josh Thole.
Meanwhile, several Mets officials said that the Mariners have not yet made Lee available, according to Andy Martino of the Daily News. The same officials say that there are no untouchables in the minor league system, though Angel Pagan is now "virtually untouchable" with Carlos Beltran's health so uncertain.

Mets Notes: Santana, Millwood, Westbrook, Beltran
While we ponder if the Jerry Seinfeld/Lady Gaga feud will reach the heights of Seinfeld's rivalry with Newman, here are a few news items concerning the Big Apple's NL side…
- Bob Klapisch of FOXSports.com wonders if the Mets should be worried about Johan Santana given a few shaky starts and some declining peripheral numbers. Klapisch notes that the Mets might look at Cliff Lee if they're worried about not having a top-tier ace to match against other clubs' best arms. It's way too soon to panic about Santana given his still-solid 3.31 ERA and 2.00 K-BB ratio, though when a team has at least $88MM invested in a pitcher through 2013, it's probably not wrong to be concerned about any dip in form.
- Klapisch also quotes senior team officials who say that Jon Niese wouldn't be moved in a hypothetical Lee deal, and an unnamed Mets player who doesn't think adding Kevin Millwood or Jake Westbrook would help the team.
- ESPNNewYork.com's Andrew Marchand writes that with Angel Pagan playing so well in place of the injured Carlos Beltran, the dispute between the Mets and Beltran's agent Scott Boras over "the timing and authorization of Beltran's offseason knee surgery" could be "a converging storm." Beltran is owed approximately $28MM over the rest of this season and 2011, and it was announced today that he is expected back playing by July 15.
- Jenrry Mejia's demotion to Double-A and conversion back into starting pitching means the Mets will probably get an extra year of control over his rights, says Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com.

Mets Will Transition Mejia To Starting
ESPN's Adam Rubin reports that the Mets have optioned Jenrry Mejia to Double-A Binghamton, where he will make the transition back into a starting pitcher.
Mejia, still just 20 years old, worked exclusively as a starter across two minor league levels last season, posting a 3.14 ERA in 94.2 innings (19 starts) and notching an 8.7 K/9 to go along with a 3.7 BB/9. So far, pitching out of the New York bullpen in 2010, he's held his own, though he hasn't pitched quite as well as his 3.25 ERA following today's game suggests. He's allowed 15 free passes in just 27.2 innings of work, while striking out 17.
Much has been made of the Mets' starting pitching woes. After receiving next to nothing from the combination of Oliver Perez and John Maine, they've turned to Hisanori Takahashi and R.A. Dickey, both of whom have excelled to this point in their respective rotation roles. However, it's likely a tall order to expect those trends to continue.
Mejia certainly has the makings of a successful major league starter. Baseball America ranked him as the Mets' top prospect coming into the 2010 season, and ranked him as the #56 prospect in all of baseball. So far this season, he's averaged 95.1mph on his fastball, and has a 66.7% ground-ball rate.
Those numbers mesh with this report from Baseball America's Ben Badler last November, stating that Mejia routinely sat in the mid-90's with a fastball that he could both cut and sink. That same pitch helped him induce grounders on 71% of his outs on balls in play during the 2009 minor league season.
We've heard the Mets mentioned in connection with available starters such as Roy Oswalt and Cliff Lee, but stretching out Mejia gives them added depth in the event that their current starters falter, or Omar Minaya is unable to facilitate a trade.

Odds & Ends: Mejia, O's, McGuire, Rangers, Valverde
Links for Sunday….
- ESPN's Adam Rubin tweets that the Mets have optioned Jenrry Mejia to Double-A Binghamton, where he will start their game on Wednesday.
- Jeff Zrebiec tells us that Buck Showalter will interview for the Baltimore managerial job this week, and Eric Wedge will likely receive a second interview. The club has yet to ask the Mets for permission to interview Bob Melvin.
- MLB.com's Jordan Bastian quotes Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos saying that despite first-round pick Deck McGuire's lack of participation in a media conference call, he's excited to have been drafted by Toronto. Anthopoulos says that negotiations, however, could go down to the wire as they did in 2009 with Chad Jenkins.
- Rangers manager Ron Washington feels that his team could use another front-line starting pitcher, according to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. Texas has recently seen both Derek Holland and Rich Harden land on the disabled list.
- Nick Piecoro tweets that the D'Backs offered Jose Valverde a two-year deal worth about $10MM before he signed for two years and $14MM with Detroit. The story spawns from some heated comments that were exchanged between Valverde and former teammate Miguel Montero.
- Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times thinks Dan Haren would be a "perfect fit" for the Angels.
- The Cubs will soon face a decision on whether to become buyers or sellers, writes Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune.
- Within a mailbag for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Paul Hoynes says that a little salary relief is the best the Indians could hope for in a Kerry Wood trade.
- Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch details how the Cardinals will handle their starting rotation for the time being. Even after signing Jeff Suppan, the club will be short-handed while they wait for Brad Penny to get healthy.
- The Tigers should exercise patience when it comes to acquiring a shortstop, according to Lynn Hennig of the Detroit News.
- Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets that the Tigers will have to think about trading for a starting pitcher, with Rick Porcello heading to Triple-A.

The Story: Holy Mole defines authentic when it comes to Mexican mole. With influences from Puebla, Mexico, this food cart is dishing out items you can't usually find in our fair city.
Fernando, the owner, hails from the city of Puebla, in the state of Puebla, Mexico, a hub of food culture. Puebla was founded in 1531 as a Spanish city and played a pivotal role in the history of New Spain. Located southwest of Mexico City, it became an agricultural hub for the capitol over the years. Famous for its cuisines like mole pablano, chiles en nodaga and chilupas, it has grown to become the fourth largest city in the nation and a hub for eastern central Mexico.
The signature dish at Holy Mole is mole poblano. My first thought was a dish with pablano chiles, but no, I was wrong. Mole poblano is mole from Puebla, the city. Fernando spent much of the last 10+ years as a chef at the Great Vow Zen Monastary in Claskanie, so has tailored his foods for both vegetarian and gluten free needs. A mole is a mix of some 30+ ingredients including peppers, spices, herbs and even chocolate. And all made from scratch. Some moles take hours to craft just right. I enjoyed the house special with chicken – truly an amazing dish. Each bite, the mole came through with a different more vibrant flavor- anise, smoke, cacao, salt, pepper. I hadn't planned on eating the entire dish, yet couldn't help myself. The scents from the cart and the dish waft through the alleyway drawing people in.
Fernando's goal is to introduce Portlanders to dishes they haven't tried before. While Mexican, Holy Mole is different than most every other Mexican place I've enjoyed and that brought a smile ear to ear. On the weekends, he dishes out enchilada specials. I can't wait to see what he has in store for the future. Holy Mole is located on SE 33rd and Hawthorne down the alleyway. Open Wednesday-Sunday for lunch and dinner. A food cart that will make more than a few top 10 lists this year. Drop on by and let them know Food Carts Portland sent ya.

The downtown Güero focuses on tortas, the traditional Mexican sandwich that is more than just a sandwich. I picked up the Carnitas al Guero with Carleton Farms pork marinated in citrus and a house blend of spices. Served on a charred bun with chili aioli, cabbage, cilantro and Yucatan pickled onion, I added egg and cheese for fun. A burly sandwich to rival some of the best in the city. An eruption of flavor in every bite.

The Story: There are over 70 different Mexican food carts and trucks in the Portland Metro area from Hillsboro to Gresham, North Portland to Wilsonville. How does one vendor differentiate themselves from the rest? For Los Alambres Torteria Taqueria DF, it was a massive list of tortas.
Los Alambres Taqueria is the work of Antonio and Micaela Hernandez who opened the truck on 82nd last year. Their focus is on Mexican dishes from Distrito Federal (Federal District.) Signature items include Alambre, a special dish of mixed meat, cheese served with tortillas, Tortas, and Agua de Jamaica (Jamiaca juice.) I was floored at list of 17 different Tortas, ranging from the Cubano with breaded beef, ham, hot dog, head cheese, Mexican cheese, Mozzarella, egg and chorizo to the Toluquena with chorizo, Mozzarella and chile serrano. There is a torta here for anyone. I picked up the De Luxo with pork leg and Mozzarella. I've had tortas before, but when I was handed the grocery bag with my torta inside, I almost dropped it, surprised by the weight. Seriously, this is a pound or more of Mexican sandwich. Thin torta bread with a salad mix of peppers similar to an olive spread and topped with sliced pierna (pork leg) and Mozzarella. Every bite included spicy pepper, salty pork and creamy cheese. The bread was superb, a perfect choice for these sandwiches. If you're a big eater, these tortas are for you. Or, grab one and share.
Los Alambres is open daily for lunch through dinner at the corner of SE 82nd and Taylor. They have covered seating there, so you can enjoy your meal out of the weather. Not knowing how big the torta was, I also ordered a Taco del Barrio with asada, chorizo and grilled onions. Amazing! Next time I'm out on 82nd, I will definitely make a visit.

What's more, there was no difference between the two treatment arms, those who had androgen therapy and radiation therapy and those who just had radiation. The median follow up time was for all surviving patients was 12.2 years.
"VEGF in this disease does not have a driver role," said Dr. Dicker. "The clinical trials using VEGF inhibitors did not have clinical benefit, so this study confirms that this is not a path forward to tacking this disease."
The results are not definitive statements about VEGF, the authors explain, but reporting on this well-characterized population with long-term follow is a significant contribution to the literature.
"This study is among the larger studies of VEGF expression in prostate cancer, and we urge the research community to avoid the misrepresentation of the literature with a lack of publication of even well-designed large negative studies, a publication bias against negative trials, as the current literature in this area appears to be predominated by only small exploratory positive trials, with a lack of subsequent confirmation with larger, longer prospectively designed trials," the authors write.

Count on National Service in Times of Disaster
Count on National Service in times of disaster. Watch this video to see how AmeriCorps' response to the 2011 tornado in Joplin, MO, helped the city recover from that devastating storm.
By Lydia Kiros
In 1965, the first group of 24 VISTAs (Volunteers in Service to America) began their service to lift people out of poverty. Fifty years later, more than 190,000 VISTAs have become part of that legacy. In honor of this milestone, we are launching an interactive timeline to unveil the remarkable journey of AmeriCorps VISTA.
It all started with a vision. VISTA was birthed from President John F. Kennedy's idea of a domestic counterpart to Peace Corps. The president sought a national service program that would assist Americans suffering from poverty. The first VISTAs began serving in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty. The volunteers lived at the poverty level, defining the characteristics of the VISTA program.
In its first year, more than 1,400 VISTAs, ranging in age from 18-81, served in 412 locations across 39 states and the District of Columbia. In 1967, the VISTA Summer Associates program was formed becoming the first national effort to recruit local volunteers. Today, more than 7,200 members serve annually in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories at more than 3,100 project sites.

Earlier this week, I reached out to you with details on what is taking place in Congress regarding the appropriation bills that fund national service. Today, I would like to update you on the latest news and ways that you can stay informed.
Day in and day out, we talk about the need to communicate the impact of national service and social innovation at the 60,000 locations where our programs operate. Telling our story is always important. Whether you are a member or alum of AmeriCorps, a Senior Corps volunteer, or a Social Innovation Fund grantee, we all have a story to share.
Congress is proposing significant cuts to our agency which would reduce the effectiveness of or eliminate some of these initiatives and programs. These cuts could deny tens of thousands of citizens the opportunity to serve in AmeriCorps, eliminate the AmeriCorps NCCC and the Social Innovation Fund programs, defund our support for Governor-appointed State Service Commissions, and make administering Senior Corps nearly impossible. Our understanding is that the U.S. House of Representatives could bring our funding bill to the floor for debate in July.
That is why I and other agency leaders are actively engaged in making sure elected leaders at all levels and everyday citizens understand the devastating effects such cuts would have in the communities where our members and volunteers serve.
AmeriCorps: The Best of the American Spirit
"The young people who serve in AmeriCorps show us the best of the American spirit. They tutor our children, aid the victims of disaster, and restore our streams and parks. It is a tremendous investment in young people, a tremendous investment in the future, and I am a strong supporter of AmeriCorps."
– General Colin L. Powell (Ret.)

"The card is absolutely gorgeous! Also, the paper it is printed on is really nice. I've gotten so many compliments. I ordered the card with the rounded edges."
"I searched multiple sites for the perfect announcement for my boy/girl twins. This one got so many compliments from my family and friends too! Tiny Prints cust service was very helpful on the phone and re-oredering(I needed more)was a breeze!"
"I chose the double blooms: princess twin announcement for my twin baby girls. Uploading and adding the photos was a snap. The pop-up boxes made adding the girls' stats just as easy. The online version looked great, but the paper version looked even better! I used to make cards at my local pharmacy on picture quality paper, but these cards are far superior and printed on thick stock. I'll never go back to the one-hour express cards and announcements!"
"We used this card to announce the birth of our twin girls and it turned out beautifully. We used a professional photo of our girls in the background and it looked great. Overall it looked classic, yet modern at the same time. Great design!"
"The online picture does not do this annoucement justice! I ordered this card for the birth of my twin girls and was extremely pleased. I received so many compliments from friends and family on this card. I would recommend this card to anyone who has twin girls."

No alcohol is a plus!I was attracted to this because it has no alcohol. Alcohol is no more effective at cleaning your mouth AND since it burns the saliva out, it actually allows germs to FLOURISH (saliva kills germs) which is really gross to think about. I also like it because the taste is strong but there is no burn (see: no alcohol). It could stain your teeth if you've been over-bleaching so I'd be careful of tha...read moret, plus no rinse is a substitute for brushing and flossing.

Crest Pro-Health RinseI've used this product before. I prefer the rinses that include tooth enamel care, extra cavity fighting, and flouride for sensitive teeth. Mouth felt clean & fresh thru lunch. My dental check ups have been fine. Price is about average in comparison to others on the market. One large bottle lasts over a month depending on AM and PM personal use. The bottles are plastic so that's a great safety feature. I like the rinse bottles that have the pre-measured top too! — 6 years, 9 months agojcs321 | 5 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

regarding children in child care. A child care provider may have parents in their database, and a city may have child care providers in a database, but this needs to be backed up and remotely available so that it is accessible when needed.
Finally, at the provider level, Smith reiterated, preparedness is "more than a fire drill." Providers need assistance in developing plans and Smith noted several specific needs, listed below:
Although needs and gaps exist, child care remains a critical component of response and recovery. Parents need to clean up, pick up, move or rebuild, stand in lines for assistance, and return to work. At the same time, child care providers are also trying to rebuild their home or business. Providers themselves are part of the impacted community and are also traumatized. Providers are not automatically trained to deal with traumatized children. Facilities may be damaged and closed, and if a facility is closed for 2 or 3 months, it may go out of business. In closing, Smith referred participants to emergency standards for child care developed by Save the Children and the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (now Child Care Aware).3
Among many other organizations, FEMA has recently embraced and encouraged a "whole community" approach when it comes to emergency planning and response and recovery. Parallel with that concept, a continuous theme throughout the workshop was that the involved

"Great 1st day of shooting #BALLERS. THANK U hard workin' crew & the hundreds of extras puttin' in that work. Appreciate U. #TopNotch"
-- WWE.com posted the following storyline injury update on Mark Henry:
Mark Henry's second attempt in as many weeks to fight Brock Lesnar has landed the former World Heavyweight Champion with a dislocated elbow. Henry – who had already suffered bruised ribs from his previous brawl with The Beast Incarnate – was placed into a Kimura Lock when he tried to brawl with Lesnar in the ring and was injured as a result.
"During the altercation, Brock had put Mark into a submission hold that created an excessive amount of torque on his elbow," said WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann. "Subsequently the elbow joint was dislocated in the ring. We brought Mark back into the training room where we were able to relocate the joint and put it back into place. We're now going to send him over to the hospital for further X-rays and CAT scans to see if there's any further damage. We will have further updates following his hospital visit."
UPDATE: Dr. Amann has confirmed that Henry's arm was also fractured in addition to being dislocated. "Mark was seen in the emergency department in Baltimore yesterday for further testing which included a CAT scan, which showed a fracture in the elbow itself," he said. "We're going to put him in a sling and limit his motion and we'll be following him day-to-day."
Stay with WWE.com for more on Henry's condition.

Daniel Stillman's Life: 42 Facebook friends, 18 Cell phone contacts, 6 Twitter followers, 4 blog subscribers. Now a category five storm is about to take this all away. And replace it with a neighbor he's never met.
©2012- Hugh Howey (P)2013 Hugh Howey
SciFi/Fantasy and Classics to History, Adventure and Memoirs to Social Commentary—I love and listen to it all!
"Great, If You Haven't Read Other Howey?"
I've read praises for Hugh Howey for, well, forever, and recently bought the whole "Wool" deal but haven't had time to listen to it. When I saw "The Hurricane" and saw that it was in a different style, I was intrigued and thought I'd give it a shot. I'm really glad I did. It is a really wonderful, people as fish-out-of-water, coming together, looking for hope story. And from what I've read from other reviewers, it is so unlike Howey's other books, I would've been disappointed/disgusted had I read it/listened to it after said works.
Even if you've read other Howey, give this a shot, maybe just as a Daily Deal, or something as it's fairly short (I got it cheap as a kindle/audio bundle). Judge it on its own merits. The characters are likable and flawed, they're thrown into an interesting situation, and there's a sliver of sunshine in a life that looked very dark indeed.
What's not to like? Well done, Mr. Howey!
"5 Hours Listening-Still Waiting for Story to Begin"
Have loved every book by this author thus far. Am so sad at the lack of a story in this book. I wonder if it was an earlier work of the author, it didn't feel well developed.
"Another great one from Hugh Howey!"
A beautiful journey from the beginnings of the storm brewing, through the eye of the storm and straight to the heart. Endearing characters, solid progression and performance perfection. Daniel reminded me of the type of character found in a Ron McLarty story, and that's a compliment for sure!
"Not what I expected"
The story was well written for what it was. It did a nice job of capturing a slice of modern life. It is probably my fault for not reading the reviews closer, but I was expecting science fiction. This was a teen anxst story with a Hurricane background. Not terribly exciting really.
No real climax to the book. A little too pat in the story line. Was expecting something more along the lines of "Wool". My bad for expecting it to be science fiction.
Yes. Does a find job of reading.
I wouldn't read it. I barely finished this one.
If you are thinking about getting this because you liked "Wool", "Dust" or any of that series, don't bother. Not in the same ball park.
I am an Australian woman who enjoys reading many different styles of books, from history to sci fi and mystery to poetry.
"A little disappointed"
I bought this book because I enjoyed the Silo books. Am I sorry? No I'm not but nor am I particularly excited by it.
NARRATOR – The narrator does a good job with the material he had. I found him a tad stolid but that could have been the story. Sometimes it is very hard to tell. He did a good job with different voices and his accent wasn't too annoying. In this book the narrator is average.
STORY – This is a story that lends itself well to airport listening or reading. Nothing exceptional or unpredictable happens and to be quite honest I found it a little boring. If you enjoyed Heller's "Something Happened", then this book may be for you but this book doesn't have the same characterisation. In other words not a lot happens.
I would recommend this book as bit of a time filler for someone going on a journey where you did not have to think too much.

Resumo: In medicine there are many surgical procedures that involve the bone tissue, often entail cutting, drilling or screwing operations of the bone. The success of these surgeries depends on many factors and the bone damage degree generated during the drilling. The cutting effort achieved during the drilling process is one of the problems and is directly related with the drilling parameters. It is essential to understand and to improve the cutting conditions to minimize the bone damage. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z High temperature tests on partially encased beams Piloto, P.A.G. Gavilán, Ana B.

R.; Mesquita, L.M.R.; Gonçalves, Carlos Resumo: Partially encased beams (PEB) are composite steel and concrete elements that present several advantages with respect to steel bare elements. This paper presents a set of experimental tests developed using two different beam lengths and two different shear conditions between stirrups and web (W – welded and NW – not welded), at high temperature (200, 400, 600 ºC) and room temperature. The composite section was built-up with IPE100 steel profile and reinforced concrete between flanges. The deformed shape mode and the bending resistance were compared for different temperature levels and stirrup shear conditions (W and NW). The behaviour of PEB was also compared with bare steel at room temperature. Most of the beams attained the ultimate limit state by lateral torsional buckling (LTB), with exception for those tested at 600 ºC, which collapsed by the formation of a plastic hinge (PH). 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Aerial sonic anemometry - preleminary results Marques, Filipe Ribeiro, Luís Frölén Meles, Vitor http://hdl.handle.net/10198/11177 2014-10-31T02:00:27Z 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Título: Aerial sonic anemometry - preleminary results Autor: Marques, Filipe; Ribeiro, Luís Frölén; Meles, Vitor Resumo: ASA (Aerial Sonic Anemometry) project intends to use sonic anemometers in airborne platforms, complementing meteorological masts measurements over mountainous terrain. The additional information will be inputted into CFD models to assess complex mean and turbulent flow fields over mountainous terrain for wind energy purposes. The kind of platform and its distortion over the sonic measuring volume was considered: sonic anemometer structure over the platform and its behavior, and sonic transducers location relatively to platform. These limitations conditioned the choice of model planes to units with central or rear plan propulsion. Due to the lack of commercial offer, this type of configuration combined with payload capacity, led our choice to the Hobbyking FPV 168 with a wingspan of 1660 mm, fuselage of 1190 mm and a payload capacity of 2.3 kg. To prevent the distortion on the measurement volume, the minimal distance from the sonic head to the plane model was set to be equal to the distance from the front to the wing's leading edge. The concept of flying a model plane with a sonic anemometer installed on it was validated, and it was possible to fly the model hauling a proxy of a Young 81000 sonic anemometer with perfect flying control. Flying tests were made in order to establish the best configuration of the center of mass of whole setup: airframe, batteries and sonic proxy structure. An electrical engine was used for commodity. The plane equipped with a 10"x7" 3 bladed pusher propeller, and at maximum engine rotation and local atmospheric conditions the batteries yielded a maximum of 37 Ah for the whole electric system. The flight autonomy is estimated to be between 8 to 10 minutes depending on local winds (1 battery of 4 elements of 4.2 V and 3700mAh). Future steps of this project are the use of the present setup to explore GPS, autopilot and data acquisition features. The increase of flight autonomy with the sonic platform will require larger aircrafts that are undergoing a process of selection. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z A contribution to assess he structural vulnerability timber pavements Teixeira, Marcos Ferreira, Débora Cunha, Victor Feio, Artur Lousada, José Varum, Humberto Guedes, Miranda Pinto, Jorge http://hdl.handle.net/10198/11105 2014-10-28T11:35:31Z 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Título: A contribution to assess he structural vulnerability timber pavements Autor: Teixeira, Marcos; Ferreira, Débora; Cunha, Victor; Feio, Artur; Lousada, José; Varum, Humberto; Guedes, Miranda; Pinto, Jorge Resumo: In general, timber pavements are the main horizontal structural elements of the Portuguese traditional buildings. Since these types of buildings required to be preserved, the maintenance of timber pavements is crucial. However and unfortunately, the demolition of the interior of traditional buildings still is a current building option in rehabilitation processes. This building scenario is more expressive in private estate, in particular, in private dwellings. This option may be due to the lack of technical knowledge concerning timber pavements. Therefore, this paper intends to give a contribution in this matter by proposing an expedite methodology able to assess the structural vulnerability of these types of horizontal structural elements. Mapping the different structural vulnerability degrees of a traditional timber pavement may give guidance for maintenance, inspection and/or reinforcement design processes. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z

Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal
The Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal, also named the Willebroek Canal, is a canal in Belgium linking Brussels with the river Scheldt. The canal was known as the Brussels-Rupel Maritime Canal, prior to the establishment of a direct link with the Scheldt in 1997.
The canal is one of the oldest navigable canals in Belgium and indeed in Europe. Construction work began in 1550 and lasted until 1561.
However, permission to build the canal had already been granted by Philip the Good in 1436. But due to protests from the city of Mechelen, authorized to levy taxes on all transport via the Senne, the project was stalled for a very long time.
In 1531 the Emperor, Charles V renewed the authorization of Philip the Good, but work did not begin immediately. It was not until 1550 that Mary of Hungary made an agreement to begin construction. On 16 June 1550 the mayor of Brussels, Jean de Locquenghien gave the ground-breaking ceremony.
The canal along 28 km, a width of 30 metres and a draught of 2 m, connects Brussels and Willebroek, where it joins the Rupel in the hamlet of Klein-Willebroek. The difference in altitude of 14 m between Brussels and Rupel was achieved with 4 locks. With the commissioning of the canal, the ships could now avoid navigating the Senne and being subject to tax in Mechelen.
Soon several basins were built the heart of the city of Brussels, in the St. Catherine area. They were all filled in in the late nineteenth century but are still recognisable today in some of the street names. The course of the canal in Brussels was amended to connect to the Brussels-Charleroi Canal which opened in 1832, thus creating a direct link between the Port of Antwerp and the industrial area of Charleroi.
During the 1920 Summer Olympics, the canal hosted the rowing events.
In 1922 a fully modernised canal was opened to navigation. Now the canal in the Rupel led by a new lock at Wintham. The locks at Vilvoorde and Humbeek were replaced by the Kapelle-op-den-Bos lock. A new upgrade was initiated in 1965, the canal being widened to 55 m (25 m for the locks) and the draught adapted. The construction of two new locks (205 x 25 m) at Zemst (opened in 1975) and Hingene (opened in 1997) allowed the canal to lead directly into the Scheldt. The Port of Brussels is now accessible to ships of 4500 tons and pushed convoys of 9000 tons.
The canal is of paramount importance for the supply of oil to Brussels, which typically represents 30 - 50% of annual traffic. In 1974 the annual traffic rose to 14 million tonnes. After a relapse, the volume transported has been rising again in recent years. With 7 million tons carried by the canal, the Port of Brussels is the second inland port in the country after Liege.
Following the regionalisation of Belgium, the management of the canal is no longer in the hands of the "SA Maritime" (company established in 1896) but came under the control of the Port of Brussels for the part in the territory of the Brussels-Capital Region and Waterwegen en Zeekanaal NV for the part in the Flemish Region.

These reach into tight places, don't splinter or crack like US brands. Not as convient to carry but do fit into the carry packs you buy US bands in. I would recommend these.

Odd Packaging

I've always used another brand that packages their sticks like a book of matches. TePe puts all of the sticks in a box which makes it clumsy to remove one set without taking them all out. Otherwise they work well.
Soft, but a bit wider than I am used to

These are a bit thicker than the TePe Oral Health Care, Dental Sticks, X-Slim, 160 Pieces. For me the thinner X-slim sticks work better. Otherwise good product. And they are indeed softer than other dental sticks I have used.
