Product Description
Why We Make Our Own Padded Sleeves and Cases...
Because the ones in stores suck. Especially for everyday motorcycle and scooter riding. Aerostich padded cases and sleeves are not overly-complicated, or overly anything. They are simple, practical designs, made at our Duluth shop, using a very lightweight yet flexible (but still semi-stiff) open-cell foam, not floppy neoprene. And no redundant zippers or pockets either.
Inside is thin soft polyester fleece laminate. Outside is a lightweight abrasion-resistant slightly slippery twill laminate. And around the edge is a strong Nylon binding tape.
Slide your tablet or notebook in. It stays there by slight friction against the fit and fleece. Comes out faster and easier, too. If a cover flap is involved it secures with only a few simple pieces of hook & loop. Your device is protected and ready to pack along without extra weight or bulk.
Lastly, these cases are really durable. I'm still using a ten year old prototype every day. And it's showing only minimal wear.

Partners for Fish and Wildlife
Voluntary grant programs, such as our Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, give landowners the tools needed to make private lands working landscapes that benefit wildlife while maintaining productive activities.
Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, Accomplishments (FY 2001-2003)
|Wetland acres restored:
|151,097 acres
|Prairie, native grasslands, and upland acres restored:
|703,723 acres
|Stream and streamside habitat restored:
|2,361 miles
|Fish barriers removed:
|Landowner agreements:
The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program has allowed the Fish and Wildlife Service to establish productive relationships with communities, conservation partners, Tribes, and over 30,000 landowners while providing them with both financial and technical assistance. Since its creation in 1987, the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program has established over 28,000 agreements with landowners resulting in the restoration of 1,060,000 acres of uplands, 649,300 acres of wetlands, and 4,670 miles of riparian and in-stream habitat.
Through the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, the Interior Department works closely with private landowners, recognizing that over 60 percent of our Nation's land is in private ownership and the health of many populations depends on habitat found on private lands. State resources agencies work closely with the Fish and Wildlife Service to help establish priorities and identify focus areas. With just a little encouragement or assistance from the Fish and Wildlife Service, our partners have undertaken thousands of restoration projects.

hello all!
i'm looking to start an export company and i have few querries related to TAX structure. my confusion is related to tax adjustment/rebate.
my company (based in Texas) will be purchasing used cars and trucks through direct purchase and auctions both in and outside of Texas. i assume, any purchase made as such is subjected to State Sales Tax and MTA Sales Tax. all the purchase will then be exported outside of the United States. my question is - will i get any tax benifit on exporting such purchase? can i claim back the money i paid as STATE and MTA sales tax by producing authentic export documents?

Israel and Palestine go to War
New in the Website
"That's it, Arafat had no reason to refuse signing, Israelis are right!" the Zionists reading these lines will claim. Let me explain Arafat's historical view with an imaginary example. Let's say WWII turned out differently. Imagine that Nazi Germany had conquered the British Islands. The conquest would have ended in a bloody civil war; after a few years Hitler would have called Churchill and said: "Let's talk!" Imagine that Hitler had offered withdrawal of 99.5% of occupied Britain, with the exception of London City. Churchill wouldn't have had the mandate to renounce the kingdom's capital. Same goes for Arafat. He couldn't sign the proposed agreement, because it offered more than the Israeli public was ready to concede. Had Arafat signed, Barak would probably have failed to have the agreement ratified by the Knesset. Abbas is in a worse situation since there is no chance that the extremist Netanyahu will offer what Barak did.
There is a Hebrew saying that can be translated as "The stone thrown into a well by a fool, cannot be retrieved by one hundred smart people." Netanyahu threw a stone at Abbas; instead, it fell into the deepest well in the Zionist dream. The situation is clear. Until now, the Palestinian Authority was a body of the State of Israel. All its taxes were collected automatically through the usual computerized system implemented in all the areas under Israeli Administration and then transferred to the Palestinian Authority by the State of Israel, subject to the approval of the Minister of Finances. Now, Palestine may declare its financial and fiscal independence. It will have no problem to find backing from financial institutions among the countries that supported the UN resolution. Israel will not be able to fight this administratively.
Politics is the peaceful solution of conflicts; when politics fail, the conflicts rapidly deteriorate into wars. Trapped in his own arrogance of power, Netanyahu placed Israel on this path.

Dave Sartin's fun "spooky reading for the kiddies" thread made me think of this.
I was mostly raised in southeast Kansas. What that means, among other things, is that as a child I was told the story of The Bloody Benders. (In fact, I remember doing a chapbook about it in third grade ... which is a bit messed up, now that I think on it.) Some of you probably know this story, some don't. Here it is. And it's completely true.
In the early 1870s, shortly after the Civil War, the Osage Trail was the most practical means to head out further west. Just off that trail, near where Cherryvale and Independence now exist, a "family" (now known to not be a family at all) had settled in a cabin. The father and mother, "Pa" and "Ma" Bender, spoke mostly German and were not particularly friendly. The son John, in his mid-20s, was thought by many to be a "halfwit" due to his habit of spontaneously laughing. The daughter Kate, a young, attractive woman, was a spiritualist/healer who conducted seances, gave lectures, and performed healings. The Benders ran a small inn out of their home where travelers from the area or passing through could stop for a meal or even a night's rest before continuing on their way, and word of Kate's various charms proved a successful lure to those travelers. The cabin/inn was a simple one-room affair divided in half by a curtain, the dining table being quite near the curtain. Travel was fairly robust through the area, and they had many visitors.
For a while, anyway.
Between 1871 and 1872, three bodies were found in the area. Each had a crushed skull and a slit throat. Those were the only bodies found at the time, but by 1873, so many disappearances of others had been reported that some travelers avoided the trail. Many people still passed through, though, some making it to their destinations, and some ... not. There is no way to know how long this might have continued, but in 1873, a prominent citizen of the area, Dr. William Henry York, was added to the list of the missing. (He'd actually been searching for a missing neighbor himself at the time.)
Dr. York had two brothers. One, Ed, was an Army colonel living in Ft. Scott, and the other, Alexander, was a Kansas senator. Both knew of his plans. When Dr. York failed to reappear as scheduled, they initiated a search. Colonel York actually led the efforts himself. When he came to the area and began to organize the search, he learned of all the other disappearances over the previous several years. He and some others essentially went door to door (farmstead to farmstead, really), asking after his brother. When they reached the Bender farmstead, they were told that yes, Dr. York had stayed overnight with them while he was traveling but had gone on. They suggested perhaps Indians were the culprit.
Shortly thereafter, a town meeting was convened to discuss the disappearances. Colonel York was there, as were 75 others, including Pa and John Bender. It was decided that a search warrant would be obtained and executed on all area homesteads.
Several days after the meeting, a local man driving cattle past the Bender homestead noticed that it appeared to be abandoned. He reported it, but because of bad weather, it was several more days before the apparent abandonment could be investigated. When it finally was, the search party found that the Benders had indeed moved on, taking clothing and personal possessions, but leaving behind their livestock--and a horrible odor emanating from beneath a trap door underneath a bed. When they got it open, there were no bodies, but there was a great deal of clotted blood, the source of the stench.
That day, the searchers broke up the stone floor of the cabin with sledgehammers, physically moved the cabin itself, and searched beneath it. They found nothing, so they decided to search the property. On the grounds, they found one body--Dr. York's--and nine suspected graves. The next day, in those graves and down the well, they found nine more bodies (one a young girl), plus body parts. All except the young girl had skull fractures and slit throats. The young girl was likely either strangled or buried alive. (My guess: buried alive.)
It was theorized that guests were given a seat of honor at the table, a seat that just happened to be in front of the curtain. Either Pa or John Bender would, during the course of the meal, strike the guest in the head with a hammer or something similar from behind the curtain, and then his throat would be slit. Then the body would be dumped through the trap doorway, where later the Benders would retrieve all the victim's valuables, then bury him on the property.
Others in the area were eventually arrested for being complicit in the schemes, including for helping the Benders sell the victims' property, but the Bloody Benders themselves? They were never found.

SCRANTON –A woman from Lackawanna County who cleans houses for a living was charged today accused of stealing more than $500,000 worth of jewelry from the very homes where she worked.
Lackawanna County detectives said this case came to light when a man from South Abington Township noticed his gold watch was missing, then a gold ring, then he thought the worst and called police.
Turns out seven different people had the same experience, and one thing they all had in common was their cleaning lady, Heather Antos from Archbald.
Antos is self-employed, for the past year she cleaned homes for friends and acquaintances. According to detectives in Lackawanna County, she paid some of her bills with things she stole from the homes she was cleaning.
One of her clients was Debbie from Waverly Township near Clarks Summit. Debbie didn't notice anything was wrong until detectives came to her about an investigation into stolen jewelry.
Then, she thought about her mother's charm bracelet she thought had gone missing.
"I didn't realize until then that maybe she had the bracelet too, because I was making myself crazy. And to this day, I still don't know if she has it or not but that bracelet is very sentimental to me," Debbie said.
According to court papers, that charm bracelet is just one of the pieces police suspect that Antos stole from seven of her clients, taking more than $500,000 worth of jewelry.
Joseph Kapalko of South Abington Township noticed a gold watch and ring were missing after Antos cleaned his home last month. He was the first to call police.
"Well, at that point in time my interest was in doing the best to protect other people who may have been victims in this process," Kapalko said.
Kapalko said, like most of the victims, the jewelry stolen from him included family heirlooms.
In court papers, Antos admits selling the items to gold dealers for a fraction of their value all to pay bills she was behind on.
"It's really heartbreaking, and then I referred her to other people. And that really makes me even more upset. Because if it wasn't for me those people wouldn't have been victimized, too," added Debbie.
Detectives said while the stolen jewelry that's accounted for is worth more than $500,000, Heather Antos told them she sold it all for about $2,000.
Antos was arraigned Friday on theft charges and released on bail.

Here he is in all his nipple-ringed glory. Meet Down Under hotness Corey Delaney, who got in a little bit of trouble after a house party he threw while his parents were out of town exploded into a debauched, 500-person booze-fest, complete with appearances by the police force and Australia's own "Dog Squad." But you know what, he just doesn't give a sh*t. Because he is the man, the second coming of Spicoli with way cooler glasses – glasses that have made him famous, glasses that he refuses take off. 16-year old rebellion has never been sexier, seriously. Corey's now on the run, chilling with friends and wheeling and dealing with managers and other D List-loving bigwigs who want to give him money. We. Are. Swooning.
Our one complaint is that buzzkill news anchor who won't shut up about him apologizing. Doesn't she remember when she was 15 and running around like a lunatic after chugging wine coolers behind the bushes in a friend's yard as the cops pulled up in front of the house? Come on! Adults are like, so LAME. Right mates?

Funding plan may boost college
From the The Brunswick News
A formula being considered for Georgia's colleges and universities that would allocate funding in part based on a school's performance could be a boon for small colleges like College of Coastal Georgia.
A draft of the plan, which would dramatically shift how colleges are funded, was finalized last week by Gov. Nathan Deal's Higher Education Funding Commission. If it is adopted for the 2015 fiscal year, the plan would give money to schools based largely on how well students progress through college and how many degrees are earned.
Valerie Hepburn, president of College of Coastal Georgia, said she likes the idea because it gives schools incentive to ensure students who start school actually finish.
"There is no value to letting people in the front door if we can't get them out the back door," Hepburn said.
Improving college completion rates in Georgia will be crucial to meeting the call from Deal for colleges to produce 250,000 additional college graduates by 2020, Hepburn said. College graduation rates are being emphasized by the state because projections estimate about 60 percent of all jobs by the end of the decade will require education after high school, she added.
"College completion rates have not been what they should be," Hepburn said.
Changing that may take a move like tying funding to performance, she said. As it is now, funding is primarily based on enrollment numbers, meaning the incentive is to attract more students first and to worry about how they fare second, Hepburn said.
College of Coastal Georgia has focused its efforts on ensuring students are successful and stay in school once they are enrolled, Hepburn said.
"For us at Coastal (the plan) is all good news," Hepburn said. "When you incent people financially to perform, they tend to do so."
Since making the transition to a four-year baccalaureate institution, Coastal Georgia has revamped its learning support program as part of Deal's Complete College Georgia initiative. That positions the college well for the shift, Hepburn said.
She will continue supporting the plan, which still has a way to go before it is finalized, as long it includes safeguards to keep schools from becoming diploma mills.
Hepburn is confident the proper measures will be in place to prevent that from happening because Georgia can take cues from other states that tie performance to funding in varying degrees like Indiana, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The commission writing the plan has until Dec. 31 to recommend a funding plan to Deal.

In a time when schools are fighting for every dollar they get, a central Minnesota school is raising money in its own unique way.
This is the second annual weightlifting competition at Rocori High School.
140 athletes from in and around St. Cloud came to compete.
They pay to participate, money which then goes right back to the student athletes.
"When you look at a weight room, strength program, they don't generate any revenue because fans don't come to watch, we don't have games... so for us to generate money it's very difficult, so this is a great way for us to pick up that slack and put the money back into our athletes," Rocori Strength Coach Jake Zauhar says.
Zauhar says it also builds good relations among athletes who will see each other in competition throughout the year.

Abductions in Mexico have risen sharply since President Felipe Calderon took office in December 2006 and declared a national offensive on drug cartels.Some agents claim that cartels have moved into kidnapping because the government crackdown hurt their drug profits.Others argue that gangsters simply began abducting more victims amid the lawlessness unleashed by the drug war.

Honors Algebra. It's not the easiest subject, but with the help of technology and the courage to take risks, Mr. Kirk Humphreys is flipping the way lessons are learned and teaching is taught.
Instead of teaching his lectures during class, Mr. Humphreys records his lessons, posts them on his YouTube page, and then has his 8th graders at Washington Junior High in Rock Island watch them from home. Then, the next day, the students work on the homework in class with his help and the help of their peers.
"Students always go home and they get stuck on something and there is no one to help them so what I have done is I want them to work on it in class so they can ask each other and work together, use the media, because I'm not always going to be there," says Mr. Humphreys, who has taught at Washington Junior High for more than 11 years. "I'm not going to be with them in the future and they're not going to have their teachers at home so they need to learn how to start looking up things themselves and coming up with the answers based on what they have and that's what I'm trying to do with this."

The Brushy Mountain Correctional Complex officially closed its doors to inmates in June 2009. The 113-year-old facility was the oldest operating prison in Tennessee.
Brushy, as it was commonly called, first opened in 1896 in Petros, Tennessee. It served as a reception center for East Tennessee and as a maximum-security prison. Former TDOC Commissioner George M. Little said the Brushy Mountain prison represented a remarkable chapter in the history of the Tennessee Department of Correction. The historical institution had been mentioned in numerous books, movies and songs. Its most infamous inmate was James Earl Ray; the convicted assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Generations of families worked at the prison. It had been the largest employer in Morgan County. The cost of maintaining the aging structure led to the decommissioning of Brushy Mountain, which had the capacity to house close to 600 male inmates. On June 4, 2009, the final inmates were transferred to the new, state of the art Morgan County Correctional Complex in Wartburg,

Just got back from my first attempt Cockburn to Jarrahdale!First of all I would like to place my respect on record to those of you that do hill riding regularly! : Though I enjoyed this ride immensely I had a few things I could have done better! I rode along the full length of Mundijong road and that bumpy road took a lot out of me!On the return I road along Kargotich road and onto Thomas-a vast improvement!I also need to fine tune my gearing for the steeper inclines!On a positive note I loved that descent!!Absolutely awesome!I also manged to make it home without too much fatigue!Please tell me that it gets better!!!The ride took me 3hours and 15 minutes.
Re: Jarrahdale
enjoy the hill mate, you can pass to kingsburry and have a visit to serpentine dam...nice scenery there...

Re: Jarrahdale
One road I don't like riding on is Mundijong Rd. No shoulder and cars doing 100kph makes for a stressful ride. My hills ride when I was doing it was about 4hrs round trip doing 100km, but I've been off the bike past few weeks.
It does get easier tho

Thank you gentlemen!
Re: Jarrahdale
I rode Roe/Willeri to Jarrahdale and back again on Sunday. (Down in the morning, back late arvo.) Saw one guy on a road bike waiting and waiting for the feeder arrow to change in his favour on one of the Tonkin Hwy intersections. I was waiting for the pedestrian crossing and I think we both sat through three complete cycles. Still, once you get away from controlled intersections it's fine.
Riding and writing my way to health and happiness.
Re: Jarrahdale
Hi guys,
I'm new to the Baldivis area and looking for some rides out Jarrahdale/Serpentine way, are you able to link me to say a google maps or map my ride page that has the course you ride in this area set out? It would be much appreciated.
Also, if you're looking for company on the rides, I would be keen for a spin!
Re: Jarrahdale
KD cycles have a good ride leaving their shop on Sat mornings at 6.30am
90km which has a split about half way for fast and not so fast.
The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass
Re: Jarrahdale
Which way did you go up to Jarradale? Did you head up Jarrahdale road or thru Byford and up Nettleton rd?
Personally, I like up Jarrahdale and down either Nettleton or down Kingsbury drive.
Either way, its a nice ride and well worth the Jarrahburger at half way
Hills hurt but couches KILL!
Re: Jarrahdale
thank you fellas!
Jezza i went up through Jarrahdale.Will be keen to take on the Kingsbury drive in the near future!i have heard alot about those burgers !
Re: Jarrahdale
Have a guernsey around bikely.com; search some of the place names and it should return routes that mention them.

Re: Jarrahdale
Hey lynskey_rider I live in Baldivis too and was thinking about starting some Hills rides soon. i'm very happy to ride along with you if you're interested. Also I think Baalzamon and Clubagreenie go up there fairly regularly on saturday mornings from around Kwinana area I think.

Re: Jarrahdale
Hi Dobo,
Sounds great to me! Shoot us a PM when you get a chance and we can sort something out. My legs are pretty average by the weekend after a week of a 50km + loop of commuting, but im up for it none the less!
Re: Jarrahdale
We are planning a bike ride to Jarrahdale around April where we will be dropped off at the Albany highway turn-off and cycle to Jarrahdale for lunch. Following this, divert to the Serp' dam for a look see and back to Jarrahdale then the ride is basically down hill to the south west highway where some cars are waiting - and off home. Cheating yes I know...
A great ride, cool air, plenty of people to enjoy with and the food is not bad
Re: Jarrahdale
Just don't do your ride on the 14th April, BWA (Cyclo Sportif in the old language) are running their 3 Dams and 5 Dams events that day and the latter comes through from the Albany Hwy to Jarrahdale then Serpentine Dam. http://www.bwa.org.au/events/632/ . Not too sure how busy the 5 Dams gets but I got stuck in with the 3 Dams teams heading home on the Kwinana freeway path last year and it was a bit crowded. Also something to note for anyone planning a trip to Mandurah and back that day. The Audax club has an event up that way the prior weekend but few in numbers and the biggest hazard are their bright yellow jerseys and queue at the coffee stop.
And for those with GPS there's a segment up Jarrahdale Rd on RideWithGPS.com that needs a bit of loving. The climb from the South West Hwy up to the intersection with Nettleton Rd. 5.4km and 171m climbing.
Re: Jarrahdale
Peel Districts Cycle Club has a bunch leave KD Cycles in Rockingham at 6.00am Saturday morning for hills training. All training for the 3 and 5 dams challenge
It goes down Read Rd to Safety Bay Rd (collects riders at the cycle path) then heads south on the PSP and collects more riders coming up from Mandurah. The ride then goes along Karnup Rd heading east and goes up Kingsbury Drive. Regroup at the top.
Then to Jarrahdale (stop again at the Jarrahdale store) and down Nettleton. Regroup at the servo at the bottom of the hill.
Then back west via Orton Rd (this is great with the easterly at your back - 40kph no problemo) which is the safest road by far in the area and back to Rockingham through Wellard.
All up about 125kms averaging about 30kph for the total ride (though the last one was very quick at 32kph - thank goodness I wasn't there LOL). This weekend it increases in distance to 150kms.
This will happen every Saturday until the Dams Challenge.

What's the first film you were taken to see as a kid?
Believe it or not, mine was Paint Your Wagon (1969) with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood when I was 3 years old. Umm I don't think my parents really chose that one for me somehow! I blame my father wholeheardedly for any subsequent Clint Eastwood fixation.
What was the first video you rented?
Remember renting videos? Which was your first rental?
Your favourite RPG?
I love JRPGs especially the Final Fantasy games - do you have a favoute RPG or series of RPG's?
What was the last truly scary horror film you saw?
I grew up on Hammer House of Horror & Stephen King books which explains a lot but I just don't think films are scary these days?
What is the best night out watching the big match ever?
I had a fab time the night of the England-Germany semi final of Euro 96, sadly we lost after a string of nail biting penalties but the drunkenness in Nottingham market square afterwards (including a whole array of boys showing me their st george cross boxers in the street!) made up for it :D

Kitchen Cabinet Color Trends- When the renovation of one of the most important task is to choose a set of kitchen cabinets. Designing a home can be very stressful as well as designing a kitchen can be more demanding. The kitchen is part of an open floor area, designed in a contemporary style with high technology. This is a design style that you will find black kitchen cabinets.
Black kitchen cabinets will usually have stainless steel appliances, black granite countertops, white walls and wood floors usually complement the area. Trends in color kitchen cabinets will look more stunning black with a suitable room. Large kitchen with a more suitable color than black kitchen cabinets small kitchen, small kitchen such as apartment kitchen would look terrible. White kitchen cabinets color trends may be more suitable for a small kitchen.

More than
just a floor
With the Hambro product, Canam meets the needs of residential and multi-residential markets by providing owners, real estate developers and general contractors with optimized construction solutions.
Canam offers an array of structural components, including the Hambro D500 composite floor system, a composite girder and a transfer slab system, which can be combined in order to design better adapted and more functional buildings.
The Hambro D500 composite floor system is your cost-effective answer to solid, reliable elevated slabs supported by proven floor joists. Compatible with all traditional structural systems, the Hambro D500 floor combines the flexibility of the D500 joists with the strength of a reinforced concrete slab.
Fast and easy to install, the Hambro floor provides many benefits:
By combining Hambro steel joists with the poured concrete, the system forms composite T-beams that are integrated in the transversally reinforced continuous slab. The bottom chord acts as a tension member during the concreting process while the web systems, which are made from bent rods, serve to resist vertical shear.
The top chord withstands compressive action during the non-composite stage and subsequently functions as a continuous shear connector between the steel and concrete through adhesion and friction. The slab is reinforced with welded wire mesh.
The reinforced concrete slab also contributes to the transfer of horizontal loads (wind, seismic activity) and acts
to stiffen multistory buildings.
The ease and speed of installing the Hambro D500 floor system eliminates the need for skilled trades.
The joists are placed on the walls or beams and positioned in compliance with the shop drawings issued for construction by Canam.
The joist connection methods are also shown on the Canam drawings.
The rollbars are designed to support the plywood forms, concrete construction load.
When rotated and locked into the notches in the top chord, the rollbars lock the joists in place while providing lateral and torsional stability to the joists.
Bottom chords are fabricated with clips to accommodate rollbars if temporary bridging is needed during
the pouring process. Generally, no permanent bridging or shoring is required unless specifically noted.
Together, the plywood and the rollbars form a rigid diaphragm during construction, providing a safe platform for workers.
The Hambro system uses standard 4 ft x 8 ft x ½ in.2 (1,200 mm x 2,400 mm x 13 mm2) plywood sheets.
Welded wire mesh serves as the standard catenary for the slab. Standard 8 ft x 20 ft (2,400 mm x 6,100 mm) sheets of mesh
are easily placed over the top chords of the Hambro joists. The top chord acts as a high chair.
When pouring and finishing a Hambro slab, it is not necessary to complete the entire deck in a single pour. In the event that the pour is interrupted parallel to the joists,
the joint should be midway between the joists, but never less than 6 in. (152 mm) from the top chord in order to ensure composite action.
When the concrete attains a cylinder strength of 500 psi (3.5 MPa), the rollbars and plywood forms can be removed.
When the concrete attains a cylinder strength of 1,000 psi (7 MPa), the floor is ready but care must be taken not to surpass the admissible loads for the specified capacity.
The Hambro girder act as a principal beam supporting the Hambro D500 joists wich are installed perpendicular on each side. Developed for the multi-residential and commercial markets, the Hambro composite girder offers greater spans than the conventional steel girder while maintaining a minimum depth to adapt to the Hambro joists.
Designed to address the need for longer spans and better ductability, the Hambro composite girder is composed of a top and bottom chord, each made of two angle sections.
Utilizing a concrete slab in the overall design of the Hambro girder allows a better span-to-depth ratio than that of a conventional girder. Although a ratio between 24 and 27 generally represents an efficient and economical solution, a composite product can reach a ratio of up to 30. For example, in the case of a 30-ft girder, the optimum depth is approximately 14 inches while the minimum depth is 12 inches.
Due to the composite design of the Hambro girder, the top and bottom chord members are smaller than those of a conventional girder. This provides for wider openings between the members. The vertical members of the Hambro girder are aligned with the joists bearing on the top chord, maximizing the size of the openings between the diagonal members and the bottom chord.
Composite Hambro girders form an integral part of the composite Hambro floor system and therefore can reach a fire resistance rating of up to 3 hours, depending on the type of ceiling used
Composite Hambro girders are ideal for floors requiring long spans since fewer columns are utilized. The optimum span of a composite Hambro girder ranges between 25 and 35 ft.
Hambro girders and joists, designed with a camber according to the dead load of wet concrete, become level after the pour. This provides the flexibility to install the ceiling directly beneath the bottom chord in accordance with ULC and UL specifications.
With a concrete slab and steel members incorporated into its design, the composite Hambro girder can be designed to carry multiple floor loads. Contact us for more information.
The longitudinal shear that occurs between the concrete slab and the steel girder is due to the action of the following four elements:
|Connections to effectively transfer shear loads
The Hambro transfer slab the practical and smart alternate design to conventional podium concrete slabs. The transfer slab is a floor system that transfers the superimposed loads from the structural building frame above the slab to the columns, walls and foundations below.
|Smart alternative to conventional concrete podium slabs
The Hambro transfer slab designed by Canam is composed of Hambro joists and girders in composite action with a concrete slab, which makes it easy to install.

Aspects of Quantum Magnetism in Quasi One-Dimensional MaterialsWhen: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 4:00 pm
Where: DA 114
Speaker: Francesco Casola
Organization: ETH, Zurich and Paul Scherrer Institute
Sponsor: Physics Colloquium
"Quantum effects are known to be particularly effective in magnets with both low spin and dimensionality. In particular, at the core of twenty years of intense experimental and theoretical work on spin-1/2 quasi-1D materials is the fact that spin physics cannot be directly addressed in terms of either a bosonic or fermionic language, although often it entails properties of both these worlds. A broad range of different phenomena thus appears to be surprisingly present even in electronic insulators, such as BEC, Bose-glasses, Luttinger liquids (LL), Wigner crystallization and asymptotic freedom. Investigating these phenomena in spin systems provides both the possibility of tuning the Hamiltonian via an applied field, pressure or through chemical substitution and, at the same time, to use well established techniques for probing magnetic properties as, for instance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and neutron scattering (NS).
Examples of such a rich physics will be discussed starting from the possibility of observing, via NS, the separation of spin- and charge-degrees of freedom in the LL phase of the model organic spin ladder material (C5D12N)2CuBr4. Next, the effects of disorder in an LL will be discussed by studying via NMR the local magnetism of BaCu2(Si1−xGex)2O7 for x = 0.5. Finally, an attempt of using the BEC paradigm for the understanding of the recently observed field-induced magnetic order in BiCu2PO6 will be made. The latter is a two-leg ladder system with strong geometric frustration of the exchange interactions. Contrary to expectations, supported by high-fields (up to μ0H = 31 T) NMR results and by numerical calculations, we will present indications for a fractionalization of the bosonic-like particles involved in the field-induced order."
Host: Assistant Professor Adrian Feiguin

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
Most musicians start out as unwilling piano students or bedroom guitar shredders. But young Joseph Raglani's passion for sound didn't come through an instrument at all: It came through his family's Dictaphone, a bulky black box intended for voice recording, note-taking and dictation.
"I can remember the first time we got one of those as a kid, and I recorded my voice and listened back to it," recalls the 36-year-old Raglani, who uses electronics and synthesizers to record amorphous, largely instrumental pieces. "You know that whole thing where you don't believe it's your voice, like it just doesn't sound like you? For days I sat in my bedroom trying to figure out how they changed my voice."
This love of sonic experimentation has led the musician through fascinations with punk, psychedelia, art-rock, confessional songwriting and, finally, to the synthesized soundscapes that have brought him great acclaim. Last year Raglani rereleased his five-song album, Of Sirens Born, on the well-respected indie label Kranky Records, making him one of the most high-profile St. Louis acts in recent years to gain such exposure.
Raglani records a style of music that is normally relegated to small-batch releases on cassette and vinyl — in the past he has released music on tiny but influential labels such as Ides, Gameboy, St. Louis-based Kvist and his own imprint, Pegasus Farms — so having his disc available in record stores across the country (and beyond) is no small feat. But with the thrill of success comes heartbreaking agony. On May 16, as Raglani was beginning his first U.S. tour at Brooklyn's experimental-music festival No Fun Fest, his van was burglarized and all of his electronic gear — synthesizers, effects pedals, speakers, merch and more, all valued at nearly $10,000 — disappeared while Raglani stopped for dinner.
Any musician or artist can sympathize with the devastation that accompanies such a loss; the sentimental value of losing, say, your first electric guitar or a journal full of sketches is normally as great as the financial hit. But for a musician like Raglani, who uses vintage analog synths alongside newer (and pricey) boutique gear, these instruments can't be replaced with a trip to Guitar Center.
Among the treasures stolen were a Sequential Circuits Pro-One monophonic synth from the early '80s that he interfaced with his recently acquired pièce de résistance: a Moog Voyager Old School synthesizer. This keyboard is a modern update of the classic Minimoog, which many consider the quintessential analog synth. (Of the Moog, Raglani says, "it just blew me away" when he first bought it.)
The robbery's sting is especially severe, because Raglani had finally assembled his optimum live-performance rig after years of experimentation with different pieces. At a pre-theft gig in early April at the Billiken Club, opening for the Baltimore duo Beach House, Raglani performed on a low-lit stage behind a bank of synths and modules. Bearded, bedheaded and bespectacled, Raglani looked right at home behind his racks of gear, tangled in the rat's nest of patch cords and coaxing out sheets of sound with equal parts scientific method and artistic intuition. Although he triggered sounds and accompanying tracks from his iPod, he created much of the set on the fly. He has a bit of a mad-scientist quality to him in his performances, with the constant tweaking and manipulating that goes into each piece.
In conversations after the theft, he talked in a soft-spoken manner, oscillating between enthusiasm for future projects and a kind of bemused depression at the prospect of creating music without his beloved equipment. But the loss of his gear has forced him to ponder the importance of technology in his music — and raises larger questions about the relationship of the artist to the tools of his trade.
"The instrument itself is what directs me," Raglani explains. "With an acoustic guitar, I probably wouldn't spend too much time doing something crazily experimental with it; I would probably use it pretty conventionally." Indeed, he came of age playing Sonic Youth-inspired punk rock in high school and has an unreleased album of acoustic-guitar-based, singer-songwriter fare that he recorded under the title L'avventura. But it's electronic music that has captured his imagination the most.
"I've always been completely blown away by electricity," he explains. "Maybe that's why synthesizers are such an interest to me. With control-voltage synths, they are infinitely more expandable or tweakable. You can get the craziest stuff out of them by patching them into the wrong outlet or whatever."
In 2009 the idea of playing the synthesizer and playing the keyboard can seem interchangeable. For the most part, that's true — beginning in the late '60s, most synths came with piano keyboards to provide an easy-to-use, universal interface for the average musician. But when pioneers like Bob Moog and Don Buchla were first building the synthesizers that came to bear their names, they were huge, unwieldy monoliths filled with knobs, patch bays and matrices that recalled nothing so much as a telephone switchboard terminal. Synthesists sought to create music outside the strictures of the twelve-note scale, so keyboards were initially thought of as relics of Western music. Sound was a science, and the synthesizer was the lab that created, coddled and unleashed that sound.

Duke basketball beats Ohio State 73-68
No. 2 Blue Devils continue undefeated record against No. 4 Buckeyes
In the premier matchup of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, Duke surged to beat Ohio State 73 to 68. The Blue Devils and the Buckeyes showed their tough defensive side as each team had one their lowest scoring games, Ohio State earning their lowest point total of the season. Down eight points at the half, Duke stormed back with the leadership of veteran Mason Plumlee and the pure athleticism of freshman Rasheed Sulaimon.
See a live blog update below from sports editor Andrew Beaton. Check back for a game story with quotes from players and coaches.
Duke 73 Ohio State 68 (Final): Plumlee went 2-for-2 from the line and Cook converted on a crafty drive to build Duke's edge shortly after they took the lead. The Blue Devils were in control the rest of the way. 'Sheed is a big reason why. The youngster has scored 17 points, all in the second half, to help Duke battle back. Cook came up clutch in the closing seconds by making his free throws.
Duke 58 Ohio State 56 (2:31, second half): It's coming down to the wire here at Cameron Indoor. Craft hit a tough mid-range shot to cut Duke's lead to two. Duke has possession.
Duke 58 Ohio State 54 (3:48, second half): Ryan Kelly for three. Tie game. Ryan Kelly for three again, and the Blue Devils had the lead.
I'm not sure when Cameron Indoor Stadium has been loudest tonight, but that could be because I'm going slowly deaf—this is a UNC-like atmosphere here. Oh, and another Mason Plumlee dunk, go figure.
And even though the offense has been running less through Mason Plumlee late in the second half, he has continued to grab rebounds every step of the way. He now has 15.
Duke 50 Ohio State 53 (6:30, second half): 'Sheeeeeeed. Getting aggressive on the offensive end, he got a trip to the line and then nailed a trey to bring this game within one.
Ohio State was able to respond to extend it back to three, but now they really have to deal with him and Plumlee, not to mention Cook's aggressive tempto.
Duke 46, Ohio State 48 (8:40, second half): The only man consistently helping Mason Plumlee on offense is Rasheed Sulaimon. Cook has helped a lot without scoring, regularly pushing the ball up the floor, but it's been 'Sheed who has been getting buckets. He has nine second half points after going scoreless in the first 20 minutes. And he seems to have Coach K's trust, staying in the floor, after regularly getting subbed in and out earlier.
Mason Plumlee has 16 points and 13 rebounds. He might need to have a 20-20 game for Duke to win. He is getting a much-needed break now, though, he was looking worn out from all his work.
Duke 38, Ohio State 42 (11:55, second half): Ohio State had extended its lead back to eight but Duke is finally gaining some consistency on the offensive end. The margin narrowed back to four after an acrobatic jumper from Sulaimon and a nifty lay-in from Cook.
Coach K finally subbed in near the 12-minute mark, for the first time in the second half. The sub? You guessed it—or, I mean, you probably didn't—Alex Murphy.
Duke 34, Ohio State 37 (14:16, second half): There are few bigs in the nation. who run the floor as well as Mason Plumlee. He's in a class with Cody Zeller. Although Duke has struggled in halfcourt sets, Quinn found him again in transition for a slam.
On the next possession, after Plumlee battled for an offensive rebound, he found Rasheed Sulaimon who hit a much-needed 3-pointer when Plumlee dished it out.
He already has a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
Duke 27, Ohio State 33 (17:28, second half): If Cameron Indoor Stadium needed a jolt, they just got it. Pushing the ball up court, Quinn Cook floated one to Mason Plumlee and the ball appeared to be out of his reach. But Plumlee extended and slammed it home one-handed with authority for the alley-oop, one destined for Sportscenter. And it forced Thad Matta to call a timeout, with the Buckeyes rocked by the slam.
That was the loudest Cameron has been all night—and it has been loud.
Duke 23, Ohio State 31 (halftime): Duke was able to survive in the Battle 4 Atlantis despite poor 3-point shooting, usually a trademark of Coach K teams, but the same has not been true today. Duke is 1-of-7 from deep midway through this game. Their savior? Going 10-of 12 from the foul line. Ohio State, meanwhile is just 5-of-8.
The Blue Devils had no offensive flow in the half. The Buckeyes have athleticism at every position on the floor and they're smothering Duke from even outside the 3-point arc.
The player struggling the most may be freshman guard Rasheed Sulaimon, who has been regularly subbed in and out throughout the half. The same has been true for Ryan Kelly, who began the game guarding Deshaun Thomas. But after Thomas racked up eight early points, Kelly has seen some time on the bench. They were attacking him—Kelly has improved as a technically sound defender, he recorded 10 blocks in three games in the Bahamas, but he still lacks a natural athleticism. The Buckeyes have exploited that early.
Oh, and say this about Quinn Cook: He's becoming a demigod among the Cameron Crazies. His defensive effort at the end of the first half was phenomenal, knocking away loose balls and diving for them on the ground. Something else the Crazies love: He has spent a lot of energy jawing at the Buckeyes, clearly frustrating them.
There was a potential for a brawl at the end of the half, fighting for a loose ball in front of the Ohio State bench, with Mason Plumlee at the center. But he maturely just ran out and to the locker room, avoiding all confrontation.
Notable halftime stats:
Duke 1-of-7 from 3-point range. OSU with 11 offensive rebounds, Duke with three. Overall, Duke just 6-of-20 from the field. Ohio State with just four turnovers. Mason Plumlee is leading all scorers with 10 points. He also leads all with eight boards. Makes it even more remarkable how Duke is getting killed on the boards. Duke 21, Ohio State 28 (3:24, first half): If you could give a summary in one statistic, it would be this: Nine offensive rebounds for Ohio State, one for Duke.
And the Blue Devils' first just came from Josh Hairston, who put home a pretty put-back to bring Duke within five. Smith Jr. responded quickly with a floater, though.
And there's no doubt things are getting chippy out there—Cook looked like he wanted to start something after fighting for a ball near halfcourt.
Duke 18, Ohio State 24 (6:09, first half): Say this about Duke—the reason the Blue Devils are hanging in this game is free throws. They are currently 9-of-10 from the floor. But they have no offensive mojo and aren't finding the open guys. On one possession, Lenzelle Smith Jr., who is just 6-foot-4, switched onto Plumlee after a screen. The Duke guards couldn't Plumlee. Even after that, he continued to demand the ball, getting to the line on the next possession. And he hit both.

Posted March 29, 2013
Twenty-four Oregon high schools competed March 9 in the annual electric car race at Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC).
Each team raced a fully electric derby car on a special track built for the event in the MHCC parking lot. Each car carried a driver and was capable of reaching a top speed of 30 mph.
Centennial High School took first place, followed by Willamette High School and Springfield High School in second and third, respectively.
"This event is a positive way to showcase MHCC's Industrial Technology programs such as Automotive, Integrated Metals and Welding. Having the all-electric Ford Focus to test drive from Gresham Ford was a big hit for the adults," says Jerry Lyons, Automotive Technology instructor and event coordinator.
Lyons sends a thank you to everyone who participated and helped out with the event, and a special thanks to MHCC students Hanna Miles and Luda Dorosh, as well as faculty members Bob McDonald, Rick Walters, Mark Thomas and administrative assistant Vicki Lundmark-Trujillo. In addition, Bess Willis, from Gresham Ford and the Gresham Chamber, was also instrumental in the success of the event.
For more information on MHCC automotive events and classes, please contact Lyons at 503-491-7203 or email email@example.com.

The annual Every Goal series will run Monday to Thursday through July and August, remembering every goal scored by the Canucks, player by player. Today, we look at Henrik "Thing 1″ Sedin.
The wonderful thing about looking at all the goals scored by a single player over the course of the season is that the tendencies that emerge will sometimes surprise you. Last year, I was surprised to see that Henrik's goals were far more aesthetically pleasing than Daniel's goals. While Daniel had the quantity, Henrik had the quality, which legitimately caught me off guard.
This last season, both the quality and the quantity dropped off for Henrik. He scored 14 goals during the 2011-12 campaign, his lowest total in five seasons, with many of them being ugly rebounds and deflections where he was just in the right spot at the right time. That's not to say that there was no wizardry to any of his goals this season, just that there was often a gap in between the wizardry and the goal that was filled with ugly.
There's definitely something to be said for ugly goals, of course, which is why I'm about to say something about the first 7 goals of Henrik Sedin's 2011-12 season.
Here's a perfect example of ugly. After a well-positioned forecheck from Henrik forces the puck to the boards, Edler deflects the puck into the slot, where it bounces like it just installed hydraulics and is showing off to some ladies at a red light. Eventually, one of those bounces ends up on the stick of Henrik, who does well to lift it up over Ilya "Humangus Beeg" Bryzgalov.
Henrik got a lucky bounce on his first goal of the season: he got 3 of them on his second. The path the puck takes to reach Henrik's stick is unreal: Salo's blast from the point on the 5-on-3 deflects off Ryan Jones's stick, hits Devan Dubnyk's shoulder, then Tom Gilbert's collar bone, finally landing in the crease in front of Henrik, who nudges it just over the line with his second swipe at the puck.
Know what's surprising? Seeing Henrik Sedin take a slap shot. Normally, when Henrik raises his stick above his waist, he is either hooking an opponent or delivering a slap-pass to his brother, Daniel. This past season, however, he began using his slap shot far more frequently, making him a bit less predictable with the puck.
Just prior to this goal, for instance, Henrik sent a slap-pass to Daniel at the side of the goal. As a result, when he actually took a shot on net, he had plenty of room as the Predators penalty kill is playing the pass. His shot takes a fortunate deflection off Kevin Klein's stick and goes top corner.
The puck and player movement on the powerplay is beautiful on this goal, at least up until Kesler shovels Daniel's pass on net, at which point the beauty turns into a beast as every single player on the ice seems to come crashing into the crease. Every player except Henrik, who waits patiently for the puck to squirt out of the scrum so he can tuck it in and read it a bedtime story.
This goal, however, is as pretty as can be. On the powerplay, Edler wires a pass to Henrik, who corrals it cleanly, then takes it forehand-backhand with such casual ease that he should be wearing a Hawaiian shirt while doing it. Corey Crawford can only flail helplessly in response.
This goal made Henrik really wish that Evgeni Nabokov was still playing for the Sharks. Henrik floats a wristshot from the point that a screened Nabokov just plain misses. John Garrett rubs salt in the wound, saying Nabokov has "one of the top-60 glove hands in the NHL," which is some quality snark from one of the top-50 colour commentators in hockey.
Henrik's dreaded slapshot makes its second appearance on this list, this time off the rush. Kesler and Daniel draw the Senators' penalty killers to the left side, leaving Henrik with miles and miles of room. Alex Auld gets a piece of the puck, but it's just not enough to brake the blistering briskness of Henrik's blast.
Every Goal, every goal 2011-12, Henrik Sedin
