Revision as of 15:42, 17 November 2012
Hi Everyone,
Very often, I encounter people who mistakenly think that a guided-rod set-up cannot sharpen a perfect V-edge. This subject of constant knife angles and pivoting-rod sharpeners always seems to come up, and there are tons of misconceptions. So I wrote this explanation for another forum, but I thought it would be of interest here. Eventhough, I'm sure that at some level or other, all WEPS fans/users already understand the material here, either intuitively, or mathematically. :)
Below, we will consider two cases: a knife with a circular belly, and a knife with a perfect straight edge. We will show that for these two cases, a guided-rod sharpener that pivots at a point (ie: a spherical rod-end or ball-and-socket joint), will sharpen a perfect V-edge. I won't discuss the circular case for very long; most misconceptions are for when the knife edge is a straight line. However, for edges which are not circular nor straight lines, a pivoting-rod sharpener may not sharpen a perfect V-edge.
There are two cases where a pivoting-rod sharpener can make an exact and uniform angle along the knife edge.
(1) The first is case of a cone. For the cone, the knife belly is circular, and it's center is lined up through the pivot of the sharpener. In other words, if you take the pivot and project it perpendicularly onto the plane of the knife, it would land on top of the circle's center. Then, in this case, the sharpener will grind a bevel that is a right-circular cone (as opposed to an oblique cone). The angle of the bevel is the angle between the slope of the cone and it's base, and the apex of the cone is at the pivot of the sharpener. Cone_(geometry)
(2) However, there is a second case where the pivoting-rod sharpener will also make an exact and uniform angle. If the knife edge is a straight line (has zero belly), then the pivoting-rod sharpener will make a perfect V-edge. This is a very commonly misunderstood fact about dihedral angles, and has caused endless argument. I'd rather not get into endless arguments, so I will present a mathematical proof and also an example illustration. If any of you still disagree after that, that's fine, but I'm unlikely to continue with the discussion for very long after that. I will respond if you find a valid error in the mathematical proof, or if you have a very carefully and well done demonstration. To challenge the proof below, you will need 3-dimensional geometry at the high-school level (ie: theorems, axioms, about planes and lines, etc.), or if you have had college level linear-algebra and/or vector-calculus, that is more than enough.
First I'll present a quick illustration. For now, please pretend that the guide-rod is a line (ie: infinitely thin) and that the sharpening stone is also infinitely thin.
In the illustration, I tried to use line-thickness to do some perspective hinting. You can think of the thick black triangle as being the closest object to the viewer. Notice the two green angles; those are the dihedral angle of the knife bevel. Notice that the guide rod positions (red) are [B]all[/B] contained [B]inside[/B] the plane of the knife bevel. Therefore there is no problem in sharpening a perfect V-edge.
Second, here is the technical proof.
Axiom1: Three non-colinear points determine a plane. Comment: Given three points, no two of which are identical, and which are non-colinear (ie: do not lie in a line), then there is exists a unique plane through those three points.
Axiom2: Two distinct points determine a line. Comment: Given two points which are not identical, then there exists a unique line through those two points.
Axiom3: Two distinct points in a plane determine a line contained in the plane. Comment: If I pick two different points in the plane, those two points determine a line. That line lies inside the plane.
Theorem1: A line and a point, which is not on the line, determine a plane. This plane contains the line and the point. Proof: Let L be a line. Let C be a point that does not lie on L.
(Part1): Prove there is a plane P that contains the line L and the point C. Pick any two distinct points A and B on the line L. The three points A, B, and C are distinct (P cannot be A or B because P is not on the line L). The three points A,B,C determine a unique plane P (Axiom1). The plane P contains the points A,B,C, and the line L (Axiom 1, Axiom3).
(Part2): Prove that the plane P is unique. Proof by contradiction: Suppose there is a second plane Q, not equal to P, that contains the line L and the point C. If we can show that Q contains three non-colinear points which also lie in P, then Q and P would have to be the same plane. Let A and B be distinct points that lie on L, as described above, so that the points A,B,C determine P.
Let Q be a plane different from P, which is also determined by the line L and the point C. Since Q is determined by L and C, it must contain the point C as we proved in (Part1). Since Q is determined by L and C, it must contain the line L as we proved in (Part1). But L contains points A and B. So Q contains L, and L contains A and B. Therefore, Q contains A and B. Therefore, the plane Q contains the points A, B, and C. So Q must be the same plane as P (Axiom1).
Therefore, there is a unique plane P that contains a line L and a point C not on the line.
Now we will apply Theorem1 to knife sharpening. Suppose our knife has a single edge which is a straight line. For example, maybe we are sharpening a straight razor, or one edge of a wood-chisel. I'll consider two cases, because the first case is much easier to understand, and then I'll look at a second case which is a modification of the first case.
Let L be the line representing the straight edge of the knife. Let P be the plane which contains one bevel of the knife. Since the knife has a V-edge and has a straight edge, one of it's bevels is perfectly flat (ie: planar).
Simple Case: Let's set up our sharpener so that the pivot C is in the plane P. The plane P contains the line L and the point C (Theorem1).
For now, we will pretend our guide-rod is a line (ie: infinitely thin) and that our sharpening stone is also infinitely thin. We'll fix this later, after we understand this case. Let S be the plane which represents the surface of the sharpening stone. This means that S contains the surface of the stone as well as the guide rod itself.
Setup the guide-rod such that: (1) The guide rod goes through the point C. (2) The sharpening stone lies on the knife edge.
Because we placed the stone onto the knife, the stone surface, S, contains the knife edge L.
However, the plane S also contains the guide rod, and therefore, plane S contains the point C.
Therefore, the plane S contains the knife edge L, and the pivot points C. Recall that earlier, that our knife bevel is a plane P which is determined also by the line L and the point C.
By Theorem1, the plane S and the plane P are the same plane (uniqueness proven in Part2 of Theorem1).
Notice that it did not matter where we put the sharpening stone onto the knife edge: the plane of the sharpening stone will be the same as the plane of the knife bevel.
Therefore, the sharpening stone will remain in perfect contact with the bevel of the knife and sharpen a perfect V-edge.
In the above proof, we assumed that the guide-rod and the sharpening-stone were infinitely thin. The above proof can be modified to account for the thickness of the stone and the radius of the guide-rod. However, it is rather laborious to go through that proof. So instead of a full-blown proof, I will informally describe what happens. Basically, you can put the guide-rod in a plane which is parallel to the plane P, but offset by the thickness of the stone and the radius of the guide rod. Once you do this, the stone can always contact the knife bevel perfectly. If that makes sense to you intuitively, then no point in going through he informal argument below. But if it does not, the below is a brief sketch of what happens.
Basically, we still have the knife-edge as line L and the knife-bevel as plane P. Let t be the thickness of the sharpening stone. Let r be the radius of the guide-rod.
Then the distance between the central-axis of the guide rod and the stone surface is d=t+r.
Next, consider a plane Q which is parallel to P, but is a distance d away from the knife edge.
We set-up our sharpener so that the center-axis of the guide rod is always in plane Q. Claim: We can rotate the sharpening stone around the rod axis until the stone's surface lies in the plane P. Informal Proof: We have two parallel planes P and Q. In Q we have the center-axis of the guide rod. Let's call the center-axis of the guide rod line J.
Now let me use some 3d geometry from high school: The plane Q contains line J. Let U be a plane that is perpendicular to plane Q and which contains line J. (We can do this, because two distinct planes intersect at a line, and we can adjust the dihedral angle between the two planes until they are perpendicular.) Now the plane U will also intersect plane P at a line K. Since U is perpendicular to plane Q, it is also perpendicular to plane P (because P and Q are parallel). So the line K is parallel to line J and exactly a distance d from it. Therefore, we can rotate the surface of the sharpening stone until it contains the line K (because the stone surface is also d away from line J, the center axis of the guide rod).
I won't prove this next bit, but if you can visualize the above, then it is obvious that not only does the stone-surface contain the line K, but because of the way we set it up, the stone surface must also be parallel to plane P. This is because line K is actually the perpendicular projection of the guide-rod onto the plane P, and the guide rod, J, is parallel to P.
Sorry if the above bit is a bit complicated to prove. It is fairly easy to understand intuitively. Basically, if we keep the guide-rod in a plane Q, then the stone can sharpen a plane P which parallel to Q, and which is a distance d away.
The conclusion is, so long as the guide rod is in plane Q, we can get the sharpening stone to perfectly sharpen a bevel in plane P. So all we need to do, is to place the rod-pivot in plane Q, and then sharpen normally.
So we now know that the following two cases can be handled perfectly by a pivoting-rod system that uses a spherical rod-end (ie: pivots about a single point):
(1) A circular knife belly where the center of the circle is lined-up with the pivot center. That is, if we were to do a perpendicular projection of the pivot onto the plane of the knife, it would land on the center of the circle.
(2) A knife with a straight edge that is a line.
In general, though, a knife belly is not perfectly circular, or the pivot is not lined up with the center, etc. So there will be some variation. But the straight part of the knife edge will be fine, and you can put the pivot at a point which is aligned with the center of a best-fit circle to the knife belly. So in practice, it is still pretty good.

Local community
The University of Sydney is more than a workplace for our staff and a classroom for our students. We welcome visitors and take particular pleasure in seeing local residents making the most of our cultural, and sporting activities, or simply enjoying the blend of heritage and modern architecture, gardens and public spaces our campuses provide.
We are working to re-emphasise partnerships with our neighbours in the suburbs that surround our campuses. We aim to improve local infrastructure and access to campus facilities, provide employment and education opportunities, and broaden the experience of our students. (Read more in our recent strategic planning discussion document – see "Local partnerships" in Chapter 5: The most promising students.)

Visit the University
The University of Sydney has several campuses throughout Sydney. Most of our students and staff are located on the Camperdown and Darlington campus, and many of them live locally. The campus is filled with important heritage buildings, complemented by recent award-winning projects that have opened the University up even more, making it easier for students, staff and visitors to explore and enjoy our grounds.
The central spine of the campus links Redfern to Glebe, providing easy access to redeveloped public spaces such as Cadigal Green, a footbridge over City Road and the pedestrianised Eastern Avenue.
There are a wide range of facilities and activities and events on campus for you to enjoy, as well as interesting places to visit.
Facilities, activities and events
We have facilities and activities that appeal to all tastes and interests, from illuminating exhibitions in our museums and art gallery to short courses and public lectures. Hundreds of events are open to the general public every month (see our events calendar).
If you want to exercise the body as well as the mind, we have three fitness centres, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and squash, tennis and basketball courts. Or you can reserve your effort to supporting our representative rugby and basketball teams.
Continue your education
Our Centre for Continuing Education provides a wide range of courses for you to hone professional skills, learn new disciplines or delve into your academic passions. You might want to find out more about winemaking or creative writing, or be interested in reviewing the basics of Microsoft Office programs. Whichever it is, the Centre has something for you.
Supporting community health
A fifth of our students are working towards qualifications in health and related fields. Many of them, as part of their study and research, spend time working in our local communities, helping to treat health problems and encourage healthier lifestyles.
Sydney Medical School has an extensive network of teaching facilities in NSW (including hospitals close to the University such as Royal Prince Alfred, Royal North Shore, Westmead, Children's Hospital at Westmead, Concord and Nepean) where students are able to learn about community health from day one.
Other faculties, such as Health Sciences, have strong community links so we can apply our learning for the benefit of all.
Our world-class medical research includes strong programs in diseases that affect millions of lives, such as cancer, obesity, heart disease, infectious diseases and mental illness.
And, we're not just concerned with human health. Our on-campus vets are internationally acclaimed for their care for animals' health and welfare. They even offer a 24-hour emergency service.
Environmental impact
When our first buildings were built in the 1850s, they were surrounded by open fields and stood out from far away. Even though the local suburbs soon developed, our buildings continue to stand out in the local community.
We know we have a big impact on our environment, and are always looking for ways to make sure we make this impact as positive as possible.
Protecting our heritage
We are unique among Australian universities in our concentration of heritage-listed buildings, some of which date back to the 1850s, and have a program of works to ensure we look after this important part of our common history.
Recent conservation work has included restoration of parts of the Quadrangle and MacLaurin Hall and the upgrade of teaching spaces in some of our older buildings.
Promoting sustainability
As an institution of more than 50,000 people we have a considerable environmental footprint. We're always looking for ways we can improve our carbon footprint, by using sustainable practices in our new buildings, using energy and water more efficiently, and changing staff and student behaviour.
Widening access
We're committed to welcoming the most promising students, regardless of their social background.
We offer a range of scholarships to support students who would be unable to go to university without such financial support. In 2009 we increased the number of Access Scholarships we offer from 100 to 140. Such support is really worthwhile; we know that Access Scholarship holders achieve higher than average academic results throughout their degree.
We're also looking to support future generations of students. In 2009, we launched our innovative Compass project, which aims to encourage primary and secondary school children to participate in higher education.
Venue hire
The University can offer you a choice of venues to suit every occasion from a wedding in one of our beautiful sandstone buildings to conferences and other corporate events in one of our modern glass-fronted buildings. Our grounds are conveniently located close to bus and train transport, as well as Sydney's main road conduits.
Find out about hiring a venue.

It is the last week in August and some of you may be noticing a slight chill in the air as you walk outside in the morning. For many, high school will be starting next week, and you know what that means… prom is right around the corner! Well maybe not "right around", but it is certainly not too early to start planning what you want to wear!
Of course, I'm excited about prom season because this will be the year we premier our Liz Fields prom collection! I hope you will love it as much as I loved creating it.
What I want to share with you today is some of the inspiration behind our prom line, and the trends that we at Liz Fields predicted for the prom 2012 season.
- Bold colors, such as bright purples, turquoises, and shades of red.
- In contrast, we noticed that white dresses were going to be another trend, possibly influenced by Pippa Middleton wearing a white dress to her sister Kate Middleton's wedding. On a side note, if you are looking for a dress inspired by Pippa Middelton's fashion , take a look at Liz Fields bridesmaid dress style 400.
- Showing a little skin is a prom trend that is continuing on to Spring 2012. This could be anything from a flirty slit on the skirt, to a cut-out on the back of the dress.
- Sequined dresses have been around for a long time, going in and out of style. This year you will be seeing the sequins used to create a larger pattern on the dress, in addition to the all-around shimmer that is classically known.

Im waiting for Kerry collins to weigh in on the subject.
But his passing stats were held way down by RE's system. He was an absolute pure passer. I saw an interview with Joe Montana just a few years ago and he went to a QB camp with Phil and he talked about how shocked he was to see how great Phil still threw the ball. that would have been past 50.
Phil could spin the ball like few QB's. And no one stood in the pocket and took hits to allow receivers to break open like Phil.
Lifetime member of the "specific element" and proud of it.
Phil was a Qb that had many games start to finish solid. He didnt start off cold and get hot for the 4th qtr. imagine a QB that was steady all game long. imagine that. imagine a QB that could sustain drives during the first half and allow his Defense to get some rest.
Lifetime member of the "specific element" and proud of it.
And of course, Simms had Joe Morris......quite possibly the best running back in NFL History.
"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."

We've archived everything in the April Fools forum (under YMAS), along with the site wrapper. Here are the images we were working with, if you want to make use of them for your own future efforts:
Also, props from the UG:
All in all, it was fun, but there's a serious reason we ran this parody. We expect each of you to contribute some effort, whatever you can, to the ongoing investigation which you can find here. We'll be opening up Bullshido.org soon, so that all public information related to this case can be documented and archived for the entire Internet to see.
And as for the real Lloyd Irvin, he can go **** himself... if he can get it up, that is.

Many readers will expect to see Matt Drudge or Arianna Huffington on this list. Although they both indeed have leading Internet news websites that cover some fringe stories and report on systematic injustices more so than the mainstream media, they primarily aggregate mainline news. Therefore, they are excluded from our "alternative media" label.
The criteria we've chosen to base these rankings of the most influential alternative media figures are the following;
- people that have the courage to seek the truth no matter where the information leads them;
- those with the courage to question 9/11;
- those who don't buy into the false left-right political paradigm;
- those who are grounded in peace and liberty;
- those with the communication skills and platform to affect real change.
With so many people doing great work in the real alternative media, we are sure that some deserving reporters will be left off the list. Although Activist Post has forged relationships with some of the people on this list, we've tried to remain as non-biased as possible in our observations. At the end, we've also included a list of those who deserve honorable mention for their tireless work and talent providing the truth.
The Tyranny of Good Intentions, and How the Economy was Lost. His many interviews can be seen on Russia Today and Prison Planet TV. Roberts is also a recent contributor to Gerald Celente's esteemed Trends Journal. There is no one better at reporting the reality of geo-political events and the workings of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.
Songs of Freedom: Tales From the Revolution. He's also the producer of several documentaries like Camp FEMA and Don't Tread on Me. Because of his tenacious work, he now has one of the best alternative media platforms on the Internet. His liberty social network, RTR.org (Restore the Republic) has over 32,000 members and is growing quickly. The quality of his Reality Report newscasts rival the multi-million dollar productions at any cable news outfit -- except he reports TRUTH news. Franchi does an excellent job aggregating the most important stories in the alternative news and presenting them in a concise and visually appealing newscast. We've found each of Franchi's recent Reality Reports to be must-see TV, and only expect this up-and-comer's influence to continue to grow.
Adam Vs. The Man nightly cable TV show. He recently gained recognition when he was brutally arrested for silently dancing at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial with other activists. The video of the alarming arrest went absolutely viral and surely brought many new viewers to his TV show and to the truth movement. Kokesh is well-informed, well-spoken, committed to individual liberty and peace, and has the legitimacy of having served his country in combat. Kokesh recently received high praise from a fellow journalist who details his appeal here. Watch for Kokesh's influence to grow as more people become aware that a genuine truther has an entertaining and informative TV show. The establishment is in big trouble with the likes of Kokesh on the airwaves.
FreedomainRadio; his Youtube uploads have been viewed over 6 million times on his channel alone, and his site claims over 25 million downloads making his ideas the "largest and most popular philosophical conversation in the world." His articles can be seen on mega-sites like Lew Rockwell and others; he has published several books on the philosophy of liberty and non-violence (many of which are offered FREE from his site) and how they apply in today's world, and he is a frequent guest on RT's Adam Vs. The Man and the Keiser Report. Despite his overwhelming knowledge of the corrupt system, Molyneux always remains optimistic in his presentation, which is quite refreshing among all the doom-and-gloom. Molyneux remains authentic in that he survives solely from donations and book sales --so please support his efforts. We expect Molyneux to end up as one of the most important voices of our time.
virtual specialist technology / prediction markets, Hollywood Stock Exchange, Karmabanque, and PirateMyFilm. His economic and geo-political analysis has appeared on the BBC, in documentary movies, and on sites like Huffington Post and Zero Hedge. Traffic on his personal website, MaxKeiser.com, has nearly doubled since April according to Alexa. He is currently the host of the must-see Keiser Report on Russia Today in addition to several other projects. He is arguably the most powerful anti-bankster voice in the world, openly and relentlessly referring to them appropriately as "terrorists and rapists" and having helped drive silver purchases to new heights with his viral "Crash the Bankers" campaign. He is also emerging as a leading anti-austerity voice for global citizens, having visited and spoken to growing protest groups in Ireland, Egypt, and soon Greece. He has an uncanny ability to boil down complicated economic "problems" for easy consumption by the general public. In short, Max Keiser has deservedly become the most influential voice of the "Resistance" to bankster tyranny.
in-depth books, his main platform is his all-day stage performance that still leave audiences wanting more. These performances are regularly sold out in large venues across the planet. Significantly, he is the only presenter in the alternative media arena to consistently draw crowds in the thousands to hear him speak. His research goes "beyond the cutting edge" of the alternative news and his popular website has become a valuable news aggregator. Besides brilliantly dissecting the "5 sense reality", as he calls it, Icke also dives head first down the rabbit hole and provides historical evidence of some very bizarre and thought-provoking phenomena. In turn, this makes him one of the most courageous and interesting figures of our time. David Icke may be one of the most dangerous people to the establishment, because he has the ability to convince organizational leadership masters of their immense power to affect positive change.
Rense.com, has been by far the best news aggregator covering the Gulf oil disaster and the current Fukushima nuclear meltdown. His website is the 2101st most-viewed in the United States on Alexa -- a powerful ranking indeed. Agree with him or not, Rense deserves credit for venturing down the rabbit hole of reality which brings a unique perspective to alternative news. He is one of the only sources attempting to responsibly cover the metaphysical and extra-planetary nature of the Matrix. He is quietly building a strong radio presence with talented voices like Mike Rivero and Charlie McGrath being added to his network. Look for Rense's influence to continue to escalate as we have not heard the end of the Fukushima nuclear holocaust of the Northern Hemisphere which he's so brilliantly covering.
LewRockwell.com as a benchmark of their success. His website is visited by millions each month, his radio show contains high-brow intellectual discussions with other great minds, and his books The Left, The Right and The State and Speaking of Liberty are worth their weight in gold. As the 2012 presidential race approaches, look for Rockwell's loud megaphone to propel Ron Paul's message of peace, liberty and economic sanity to the masses. Rockwell brings much-needed legitimacy to controversial issues like ending the Fed, ending the wars, and bringing about a system of non-coercive Anarchy. He has indeed paved the way for many others, while also remaining a growing influence.
NaturalNews.com (ranked 1,184 overall in the U.S.) and NaturalNews.TV. His articles have been republished all over the Internet, and his radio show and short films are viewed by millions. Through his unyielding passion, he has built a team of respected contributors to his flagship news site which offer some of the best natural health and freedom news on the Web. He never ceases to improve his platform for his expanding audience and knows how to monetize his business with products he genuinely believes in. The sky is the limit for the Health Ranger's influence in the alternative media.
Fall of the Republic and The Obama Deception have been seen by tens of millions the world over on Youtube and elsewhere; his website rankings for Infowars and PrisonPlanet are off the charts with many investigative articles frequently supported by Drudge, and many on his staff are nearly deserving of being in the top-10 in their own right. The quality of his production has improved every year and is easily the best in the alternative media. Jones gets the most informative expert guests who expose a wide variety of inconvenient truths. He is a pioneer in encouraging fans to make copies of his material and give them away for free to help awaken more minds. Anyone who follows Alex Jones knows that he is driven by intense passion for humanity and never stops working. It's hard to believe that Jones is still only in his thirties, given his 15 years of dedicated reporting.
The Creature From Jekyll Island is one of the most powerful indictments of the Federal Reserve and is still a bestseller. His many other books, websites at RealityZone.com and his foundation Freedom-Force.org, with movies like his recent documentary What in the World Are They Spraying are all ground-breaking in their own right. This is not meant to be a runner-up award, but more of a lifetime influence shout out to a true pioneer. We're all indebted to Griffin's hard work.
Honorable Mention
Many in this group are deserving of far more praise than this format allows, but we'd be remiss not to mention the following names. Here are some of the rising stars and the unsung heroes of the alternative media in no particular order:
- Shepard Ambellas, Alex Thomas: True investigative reporters who share their knowledge at TheIntelHub.com They are fearless journalists who utilize the full range of the Internet to release their intel.
- Cassandra Anderson: Writer and editor for MorphCity.com, as well as G. Edward Griffin's news editor and research assistant. She is one of the leading experts on Agenda 21 and the globalist plan of collectivization.
- James Corbett: Terrific analyst, researcher, writer, web TV presenter and founder of CorbettReport.com
- Rady Ananda: Brilliant investigative journalist and editor for blogs Food Freedom and COTO Report whose work has been published across the Internet on all major alternative media news sites.
- Doug Owen: Oracle Radio personality and producer and operator of BlacklistedNews.com
- Global Research: Michel Chossudovsky, Andrew Gavin Marshall and staff brilliantly report on global events and have a fast-growing Internet presence.
- Bob Tuskin: Terrific interviewer and fearless investigator who has worked extensively with The Intel Hub, and has his own radio show and website at BobTuskin.com
- Bill Ryan: His website and forum at Project Avalon are terrific resources, as well as his interviews with alternative media personalities and government insiders.
- George Noory: Huge Internet presence and the most-listened-to overnight radio show in America at Coast to Coast AM.
- Alan Watt: Consummate researcher into the history of elite control, and frequent guest on the Alex Jones Show. His website and his own radio show can be found at Cutting Through The Matrix.
- Jim Marrs: Author of many books on conspiracy truth, and one of the foremost experts on the JFK assassination. His work can be found at JimMarrs.com and has influenced many of the above.

My name is Meredith Drews and I am organizing an Awareness Walk in Orange County. Are there any folks out there who would like to join me in this endeavor?
You can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at 949-378-5690.
A little about me. I've had two completely healthy pregnancies and have two boys from those pregnancies. My second pregnancy, however, I developed severe pre-e and HELLP syndrome at 24 weeks. We lost both our baby girls...they were just too small and too early. Someday I hope to know just what happened that made my body betray me like that.

One out of five children suffer from some sort of mental health problem. Children's mental health problems include ADHD, Autism, bipolar, depression and schizophrenia. May 5-11 is children's mental health awareness week.
As a parent, how do we know our child is suffering from a mental illness? Some red flag behaviors can be change in appetite, trouble sleeping, dropping grades, showing less interest in sports and taking unnecessary risks. Some behaviors may seem to parents like children are just going through a phase or "being a teenager." Some parents are hesitant to get treatment because of the stigma attached to mental illness or they do not want to believe it is happening to them. However early intervention is critical to successful treatment.
Today mental illness is so prevalent that we are better at understanding what causes it and in turn being able to provide successful treatment. This week is dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and lending a hand to those who are struggling. Shame and stigma too often leave people feeling like there is no place to turn. We need to make sure they know that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.

ESS is attempting to back out of the dyno event they themselves requested?
Roman at ESS is now attempting to back out of the tuner dyno day shootout. I would like to remind everyone, ESS requested this dyno comparison themselves and asked BimmerBoost to schedule it. Now that the date is nearing, ESS is going back on their word at the last minute
I received this e-mail from Roman:
This was my response:
We have over a half dozen companies waiting on ESS. BMS has agreed and has been patiently waiting. MHP agreed although the date change now inconvenience them. Gintani agreed and said they would accept the date change for ESS. OE Tuning agreed and said they accept the date change to wait for ESS. Powerchip said they do not mind the date change and look forward to it. Vishnu has agreed in proxy and we also have GIAC representation. G-power is ready with their supercharger representation.
BimmerBoost has worked tirelessly to make this event happen at substantial cost as any of these companies can attest. We have been on the phones and e-mailing back and forth for what is almost 4 months now.
ESS requested this event, led everyone on, and now is backing down from their own challenge. BimmerBoost has considerable cost tied to the event and will not simply let it go. DC Performance has a large amount of revenue dependent on the event. Literally dozens of people, companies will be hurt financially and inconvenienced by ESS not honoring its own request.
We would like the BMW community to encourage ESS to participate as they had agreed, please contact Roman and make it known you would like to see the event take place as planned:

This article was originally published in forum thread: ESS is attempting to back out of the dyno event they themselves requested? started by Sticky View original post167 Comments
What agenda is there in letting them tune the same car others tune and compare on a third party dyno? They demanded a third party dynojet and they got it. Their work was supposed to speak for itself. They are the ones who said that is what they wanted to do
You know yourself how much time I have put into this. You have put in an incredible amount of time as well. I can't believe a company can disrespect the entire tuning industry like this. What ever happened to honor and character?
Despite the blatant disrespect they have shown me, I will continue to treat them with the respect I feel everyone involved in BMW tuning should show one another.
I will do whatever it takes to make this happen. If the only way this happens is if ESS needs it to take place on the moon, I'm becoming an astronaut.
They have a third party dyno. They seem to think I'm running the dyno or something, I'm not, DC Performance is. I'm not in charge of that, all I am doing is reporting the results and I have been working my ass off to get everyone possible to attend the event ESS asked for. Everyone said yes... but only one backed down.
We will get proxy representation but before that I will continue to attempt to do whatever I can to get ESS to agree.
They want yet another date? Fine, they will get it. They want a third party? Fine, they don't have to deal with me in any fashion, they can talk to DC Performance as Powerchip has been doing. Wayne has actually been a superb business man, grabbing the competition by the balls and calling up DC, who will be running it, to see exactly what is up. Why ESS can't discuss the procedures with the company actually responsible for running the equipment, reading it, and watching the tuners is beyond me.

Subject: Re: Dyno graphs
Absolutely! We have been wanting to do this since day 1, fair and independent comparisons is what the public needs. This way we know exactly what is what under the exact same conditions. Do you have a dyno facility in mind that could work? We prefer DynoJet as neither dyno or drf files can be manipulated if that is cool with you? We also have to rig up some sort of fuel extraction system so we can empty and refill cars from the same pump before testing to eliminate octane variables. Boost logging is also a must imo.
-Asbjorn Bohn
The response: Absolutely!
With a freaking exclamation point. Holy crap man, does Absolutely! from ESS mean, oh, just kidding, we are going to back out at the last minute? Yes, your common sense is quite impressive.
ESS never bothered to provide a concrete date, just said summer, and left the rest up to me to organize. So, I made two attempts at a date even though that wasn't good enough. I rescheduled, that wasn't good enough. They never had any intention of following through! This can still be done if they actually stop dodging what date would work. I will do yet another reschedule in the attempt of yet again bridging any gap and providing ESS with anything they request out of respect for their wishes. You can keep making childish personal attacks, I'm trying to accommodate.
I don't see the problem here, I'm not operating any equipment, a third party is exactly as they requested. If they have any demands, they can deal with that same third party who will be monitoring the tuners and providing the dyno results. So maybe you should know what you are talking about before providing nonsense, not common sense.
I dont want to take this thread off topic but .. Really?
I understand the dyno story and all but is there any other company out there that is running a supercharger system that is not running meth or colder plugs for the S65? No ... You need a pretty damn good tune to be boosting the S65 at 7.5 PSI with no meth and with the stock plugs. Please dont think that Im against the use of meth. Im all for it and will be running it myself soon. All Im saying is that these guys have a really good tune and a really good product.
I also ran stock plugs on 91+Meth, in fact all of the OTS, (stock internals) Gintani cars are running stock plugs. From what I know, there is no ESS car in the states running 7.5psi on 91 octane, or 93. One car has ran 8.5psi, but he runs 100 octane at that boost level. As you know, if you want more "reliable" power you're going to have to run higher octane / race fuel or meth to keep it safer with any kit, it's not about how good the tuning is at that point , although a good tune will certainly keep your motor safer.
ESS agreed to a third party comparison that I would organize, they lied. They showed absolutely no respect to their fellow tuners or for my considerable time and cost.
In retrospect, I don't think ESS actually ever expected me to keep my word and manage to pull this off. I called their bluff so to speak by actually managing to arrange this with all the main parties. That is why they asked to organize it, they didn't think it actually could/would be done.

My daughter had preeclampsia a few weeks before and it got worse after she went home a couple of days later and had to go back to the doctor. It took a bit for her blood pressure to ge back to normal but it did. Now after over 2 months after delivery she has had really severe headaches and seeing spots. She just left for the ER because no doctor could see her on such short notice and it was so bad. Her blood pressure was up to 140 over 78. Which doesnt seem high but for her which is normally around 110 over 58, it is a little high. Her boss didnt seem to think that it was very high and was more concerned about her taking off work than her health. She hasn't understood my daughter having to take off so much work to be on bedrest even though she saw how severely she was swelling and miserable she felt. Very unsympathatic. I just cant understand a woman not understanding this.Even if she doesnt have a clue about PE.
We are hoping that she is just having migranes but it worries me because she has been through such a tough time and now this. Anyone with any advice about this. I cant help but be concerned. Seems like I have worried so much about her in the last few months that maybe I am over reacting. Thanks.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Oct. 10)-The 2012-13 edition of the New Mexico State men's basketball team returns to the court after both a 2012 WAC Tournament Championship and 2012 NCAA Tournament appearance. The Aggies start practice for the 2012-13 season Friday, Oct. 12.
The Aggies return seven players from a year ago but have to replace a trio that had a significant role in the Crimson and White's success. NM State has a pair of seniors in forwards Tyrone Watson and Bandja Sy back for their final campaigns in Las Cruces. Watson started in 35 games in 2011-12, and he averaged 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game and ranked second on the team with 113 assists. Sy played in all 36 games for the Aggies and provided a spark off the bench with 8.8 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest. Sophomore guard Daniel Mullings returns to the hardwood following a stellar freshman season, when he averaged 9.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Watson and Mullings both earned postseason honors with Watson garnering WAC All-Tournament Team honors, and Mullings collecting WAC All-Newcomer Team accolades in 2011-12.
The Aggies recorded one of the best seasons in school history in 2011-12 with their third WAC Tournament crown in school history and second title in three years. NM State also made the 19th NCAA Tournament appearance in school history but fell to No. 17 Indiana, 79-66, in the second round. The Aggies posted a 26-10 overall record and 10-4 WAC record and were only one win away from tying the school record for wins in a season. The 26 wins were the most since the 1992-93 season.
NM State has to replace forward Wendell McKines, point guard Hernst Laroche and center Hamidu Rahman from a year ago. The trio earned all-conference honors in 2011-12, and each left his own mark in the Aggie record book.
The Aggies are not short on experience with four other letter winners back. Junior center Tshilidzi Nephawe is a fixture in the paint after playing in all 36 games last year and supplying 5.8 points per game and 32 blocked shots. Junior forward Renaldo Dixon and sophomore forward Remi Barry combined to see action in 36 games, while sophomore guard Terrel de Rouen is set to return after a knee injury sidelined the Las Cruces native early in the 2011-12 season.
NM State welcomes five newcomers to the court this season with junior guard Kevin Aronis, freshman center Sim Bhullar, freshman forward Matej Buovac, freshman forward Aaron Kubinski and sophomore guard K.C. Ross-Miller. The Aggies also has three redshirts returning with junior forward/center B.J. West, freshman guard Eric Weary and freshman guard Emery Coleman. West appeared in 24 games in 2010-11 and averaged 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, and he ranked third on the team in blocks with 22.
After a season of success, the Aggies are poised to make another run to defend their conference championship with an abundance of experience and eager newcomers.

Alcovy also swept Central and Rutland, but due to time constraints, Jones County and Alcovy were not able to compete in varsity action against each other.
Tim Randolph, at 113 pounds, Danny Williams, at 126, Jequelle Griffin, at 132, Davin Price, at 145, Justin Clausell, at 170, and Jackson Williamson, at 285, were all 2-0 for the Greyhounds, with Williams, Griffin, Price and Clausell all getting two pins.
Freshmen Daniel Curry, at 182, and River Vaughn, at 195, split their matches, but both had pins in their victories, Vaughn against Rutland and Curry against Central.
Another freshman, Torrez Finney at 152 pounds, had the toughest luck in the match, losing two close decisions, including a double overtime loss against the Rutland wrestler.
"The guys did OK. We're still learning," coach Daniel Lewis said. "We would have loved to wrestle Alcovy – they have a really good program – but with it being a school night they had a curfew and had to leave before we could get to the third match.

I mentioned in November that Google tested an OneBox at the bottom of the search results that lists recent blog posts related to your query. Now the OneBox is live and can be triggered by adding "blog" at the end of your query (for example: search for search blog, music blog, google blog and look at the bottom of the page). You'll also find it for other queries that contain "blog", like Google Groups, as there are a lot of people who talk about the new version of Google Groups.
As Google Blog Search updates much faster than the general index, these results can be found only using a blog search engine. At least for now. Then they'll become a part of Google's main index.
Google offers a lot of OneBox flavors, that enhance the search results by adding results from specialized databases or by providing a direct answer to your query.
1. Do you pay attention to OneBox results?
2. If you can't find a good result for your query, do you try specialized search engines (blog search, Google Books etc.)?

Offensive guard Jackson Williamson signed with Charleston Southern University of Charleston, S.C., and linebacker Doug West signed with Arizona Western College of Yuma, Ariz., on Wednesday morning, the first day recruits could sign scholarships.
Charleston Southern is a NCAA Division I FBC four-year program. The Buccaneers were 5-6 last season and have a new coach, Jamey Chadwell.
"They tell me they want me to play center and be a long snapper (for kicks and punts)," Williamson said. "I'm really excited."
West said he is also excited for his chance to play at Arizona Western, a junior college coached by Tom Minnick, and hopes he'll have the chance to transfer to a four-year school in a year or two. The Matadors were 8-2 last season.
West played defensive end and outside linebacker for the Greyhounds, but he will be at outside linebacker in college.
Jones County coach Dwight Jones said two more of his senior players are still being recruited – running back Undre Williams and center Thomas Rowan – and both may have a chance to sign later.
Check next week's edition for a full story on the signings.

text: Rex Whiteman, center, long-time director of the Union Mission, was a recent guest speaker at the Madison Rotary Club. He spoke about the advancement of programs that help people with physical and spiritual needs since the Union Mission was established 101 years ago by the late Pat B. Withrow after a donor gave him $100 to start a gospel mission. Withrow soon saw that there were physical needs to be met as well as spiritual ones and that led to the establishment of the Union Mission. Today, the Union Mission provides nine programs that help the homeless, the elderly, and persons with addictions. One of their priorities is feeding people and Whiteman said the Union Mission fed over 15,000 families last year, as well as many thousands over the holidays. Whiteman was introduced by Rotarian Dr. T. R. Barker, right. Rev. Johnny Barker, left, was also a guest of the Rotarians.

Suns coach Alvin Gentry is understandably frustrated
Alvin Gentry had his Denny Green moment after Wednesday's loss to Golden State.
There was no "The Warriors are who we thought they were," but Gentry's anger and frustration were not unlike that of the former Cardinals coach that fateful October eve.
"I'm disgusted," Gentry said. "I'm disgusted with the way we played, I'm disgusted with the fact that we've got a chance to end the break on something really upbeat and positive, and instead we just walk through the first (expletive) 10 minutes of the game, excuse me. The first 10 minutes of the game, I'm sorry."
Gentry apologized for his use of profanity, but he shouldn't have to. He's not the only person who's wanted to curse at the team donning purple and orange this season, as a 14-20 record at the break is certainly nothing to smile about.
But this isn't Gentry's fault, so he has nothing to be sorry for. The ones who should be apologizing are the decision-makers who gutted a roster the head coach guided to the Western Conference Finals less than two calendar years ago, and was a Ron Artest (when he was still called that) put-back away from a likely trip to the NBA Finals.
Unfortunately that's not the team Gentry gets to coach these days, as only five players remain from that squad. Instead his job is to guide a roster that, well, does not have the look of one that should be any better than what the Suns are today.
Aging stars, an abundance of role players and a bench that cannot be counted on to provide consistent production. Add it all up and you get a bipolar team, one that can play great one night and, to borrow a term from Gentry's press conference, "suck" the next.
Though Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby has said Gentry "knows he's secure," it's tough to go through a season like this one without making any kind of move, if only to give fans the impression that you care and are trying to do something to fix this mess.
And, given the fact that this front office didn't hire
Gentry, and you have the necessary
excuses ingredients for them to dump the
guy who has led them since February of 2009.
Of course, that would be a mistake.
Gentry is no Phil Jackson or Gregg Popovich, but he is a good coach. He can motivate his teams to not quit on games (see Wednesday night's "effort" as a prime example), and tends to maximize the talent on his roster. The fact that the Suns were in the WCF two years ago and have remained somewhat competitive now is a testament to he and his staff.
Honestly, do you think this year's Suns are underachieving? Anyone? Didn't think so.
Gentry knows the 2011-12 Suns are not built to contend - hell, everyone knows that. But his job is to win games, and he's understandably frustrated when his team continually finds ways to lose to squads that, quite frankly, should not be leaving Phoenix with smiles on their faces and another notch in the victory column.
"We have to decide what kind of team we want to be," Gentry said. "Do we want to be a tease, where we win a couple of games, and then we decide not to play the first ten minutes? Or are we going to be a team that bears down and try to grind this thing out so we can get back in the playoff race?"
The kind of team the 2011-12 Phoenix Suns ARE was decided with the moves the franchise has made the last couple of years, most of which left the team with inferior talent and little chance of relevancy. But we knew that going in, and there's no doubt Gentry - while upset - knows it too.
In fact, you could even say the Suns are who we thought they were.
