Creating new sheets are pretty easy right. Well that is pretty clear fact, all you have to do is click the create new sheet button in the view tab. Now setting up and duplicating sheets that is a problem. When you create a new sheet you get a title block and that is about it. If you always have Sheet General Notes, Reference Keynotes and Sheet Keynotes on a sheet as the National CAD Standard suggests you would have to add each of these different Revit schedules to a sheet one at a time. There is a faster way, well actually there are two.
The first is to create a Master sheet that has the different schedules already inserted. Once you have this master sheet all you have to do is copy it to the clipboard then paste it into the project. There are some warnings to this though. You can not have anything but annotation objects (Drafted lines, Schedules or Text) on the sheet. You can not have legends on the sheet either.
The second is to have a master source file that has sheets setup with the note schedules inserted already. With this method you can have typical General notes already established for different types of sheets, as well as their sheet numbers and names. This method uses the Insert From File command to insert the sheets into the current project.
I've described these two different methods, and you might think you can only use one or the other, but in the over all life time of a project you could and probably will use both methods. The second method would be to start a project, and the first would be for if you need to add any sheets during the project.

The whirring noise could be idler pulley/tensioner pulley/water pump pulley or maybe the power steering fluid is low. I would remove the belt and start it up, see if the noise is gone. If so, then its a belt driven issue (pulley, pump, etc...) If not, it could be the transmission.
As for it not revving up past 3500, its designed to do that. If the trans is in Park or Neutral, the Powertrain Control Module limits RPMs to 3500. As long as it goes past 3500 while in gear, your OK.
So the noise goes away in second gear? Does it come back in 3rd or 4th? Will it do it in first gear if you let off the gas or only while accelerating?
I'm sorry. I work on these things all day, and my mind has drawn a blank. Diagnosing noises over the internet is very difficult! I'm going to opt out, and if another expert has any suggestions, they will chime in.
Good luck, I hope you find a resolution!

Known Stats:
Tier: 4
Classification: Medium
Tech Tree: (Unconfirmed) 2nd Britsh Medium Tree
This tank appeared for a brief moment in a video that also showcased the French super-heavies.
Wikipedia Information: The Medium Tank M3 was an American tank used during World War II. In Britain the tank was called by two names based on the turret configuration. Tanks employing US pattern turrets were called the "General Lee", named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Variants using British pattern turrets were known as "General Grant", named after U.S. General Ulysses S. Grant.
Design commenced in July 1940, and the first M3s were operational in late 1941.[1] The U.S. Army needed a good tank and coupled with United Kingdom's demand for 3,650 medium tanks immediately,[2] the Lee began production by late 1940. The M3 was well armed and armored for the period, but due to design flaws (high silhouette, archaic sponson mounting of the main gun, below-average off-road performance) it was not satisfactory and was withdrawn from front line duty as soon as the M4 Sherman became available in large numbers.

MILWAUKEE — A prayer vigil was held Wednesday evening, October 10th for Derek Williams on the corner of Humboldt and Center — the spot where Williams' died while in police custody in July of 2011. This, on the same day officials announced the launch of a federal civil rights investigation into Williams' death. The investigation will work to determine whether anyone is criminally responsible for Williams' death.
Williams died while in police custody in July 2011. His death was captured on a squad camera as he struggled to breathe for nearly 15 minutes without help. MPD and the Milwaukee County District Attorney concluded the officers involved did not break any rules. However, the two did call for an inquest into the Williams' case, and a special prosecutor was appointed for such inquest.
Once the dashcam video was released to the public, and the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office amended Williams' cause of death from Sickle cell trait (natural causes) to homicide (death at the hands of another) — some community leaders and residents called for the firing of Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn and a federal investigation. That request was granted Wednesday.
Wednesday evening, Williams' loved ones along with community activists and leaders joined together in Williams' memory — but also to talk about how they can continue to be a catalyst for change.
"This is about a man who lost his life in the hands of Milwaukee police officers. He was a loving father, family member and had a lot of friends. (The vigil is) a way of giving closure, praying on the whole case itself, so we can bring those people to justice, which means the officers involved in this case. Praying over the whole case itself for the family," organizer Tracey Dent with the Peace for Change Alliance said.
Williams' mother said Wednesday evening she is glad the FBI has gotten involved. She and others say they feel they are one step closer to getting justice.
"I just want to thank everyone for helping me out as far as reopening everything because I needed the help, and now they're standing up for me. Thank you. We're getting justice and that's all I care about," Williams' mother Sonya Moore said.
Community leaders say they believe the news of a federal investigation is only a small victory. They say they will continue to seek justice for Williams and those who have been in similar situations in the past as well as stop it from happening in the future.
"We still have not gotten to the end result — and that is justice. We're still going to keep pushing forward. We're not going to give up," Dent said.
FBI Special Agent Teresa Carlson indicated during a news conference the FBI and other federal authorities will thoroughly look at all the evidence in this case and present their findings to federal prosecutors. The federal prosecutors will then determine whether there is criminal culpability in the case.
U.S. Attorney James Santelle was also present at the news conference. Santelle says in addition to the Williams' investigation — he is gathering information to determine whether a much larger investigation (called a Patterns and Practices Investigation) should be launched against MPD. Seven Milwaukee Common Council members said Wednesday they support such an investigation.
Chief Flynn has reportedly pledged to cooperate fully with the FBI.
If you have information that could assist with this investigation, you're urged to contact the FBI at 414-276-4684.

I am writing this blog entirely for the love of my wonderful Mother, Julie Columbia, who has a very rare and aggressive form of cancer that she is currently battling.
Today my heart aches. It's not that any day since my Mom was first diagnosed with cancer a little over a month ago now has been particularly pleasant, but today is awful. At first, when I woke up, it was from a terrible nightmare about losing her. I cried and cried alone in my bed and then sent a text to my Dad, telling him how much I wished that I could hug him then. I decided to slip back into my bed, in hopes of having better dreams, or perhaps, none at all.
Every day has not been this difficult, the days my Mom feels well, I can almost convince myself that she's alright, that I'm here visiting, merely taking a vacation from my life and work in New York City, that we're just going to wake up one of these days and realize it was all a terrible nightmare. The most difficult part of the day has consistently been waking up. For a brief moment I forget my grief and sadness, I compartmentalize my tremendous anger toward God for making my Mother go through this awful illness at the age of 53. She always told my sister and I that she believed she would die young, as her father had. After growing up with only her and my sister after my parents divorce, the mere thought of her prediction becoming reality was so daunting, I would cry at the mention or thought of the idea of losing her, losing my everything, my heart.
It's still impossible for me to comprehend the news I've learned from my Mom, her oncologists, and radiologists in this past month. I cannot recall a time in my life that I was so upset I often found myself feeling sick to my stomach while crying, now, it's become a weekly occurrence. Today has been one of those days. A month ago my Mom was happy, healthy, vivacious, and living every day with a great appreciation of the gift of life. She was never one of those people who find out they have cancer, or another life threatening illness, and start to "really live" every day, being thankful for being alive, understanding that life is so fragile and precious that it would be foolish to waste any of your timeA month ago, she was feeling short of breath and having pain in her chest, after going to the emergency room in the middle of the night and finding out it was imperative that she have emergency surgery to drain the copious amount of fluid which had accumulated in the area around her heart that was also present in her lungs, she learned of a very large mass which spanned across her chest, resting upon her heart and lungs. After further tests, she discovered that this mass was cancerous, and after a months worth of tests and procedures, we now know that the cancer is Thymus cancer, which is extremely rare, and the tumor is a very aggressive and invasive form called a Thynomic Carcinoma. This news was particularly heart breaking, as the doctors explained that even with the chemotherapy and radiation she would be undergoing in the weeks to come, in hopes of shrinking the mass which was far too large to make her a candidate for surgery, that the possibility of removing the tumor entirely was going far more difficult and dangerous than they had originally thought.
I have found it particularly challenging praying to my God this past month. I have sincerely, wholeheartedly, prayed every night and through out the days, in hopes that the prognosis would not be any worse than the original diagnosis. I prayed, in vain, with all my heart that we would get a call explaining that this was some sort of terrible mistake, and that her chances of being cured and of surviving would be much greater. I prayed that if nothing else, that God could ease her pain through out these treatments that she started August 23, 2012. I find it incredibly difficult to pray to God after the barrage of terribly negative news which we have been receiving since the tumor was first discovered. This causes great conflict in my heart and mind, knowing that I am doubting the God who will ultimately decide her fate, and if she does pull through this and continues to live, sharing her smile and ceaseless charm with everyone she meets, it will be solely because it is Gods will. The same God who has seemed to show no mercy on her, my sister and I through this horribly difficult time.
My Mom always told my sister Christine and I, "Life is uncertain girls, that's why I eat dessert first" It is something she often did, that I didn't really understand at the time, but it certainly makes plenty of sense now. She was always aware of the lack of guarantees in life, and lived life without worrying about what was out of her control, and encouraging my sister and I to do the same. She was nothing like any of my friends parents. I can't think of a single time I ever saw her get embarrassed. I attribute my high self esteem and confidence in my ability to fulfill any dream entirely to her unrelenting positive spirit. From being around my Mom, you would have thought she had it better than anyone else in the room with her, which was often the farthest thing from the truth, especially after making the bold decisions, such as choosing to divorce my father, despite her knowledge of the numerous challenges she would face in the years to come. This is not the first time my mother has been very ill. In 1998, she was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, and in hopes of saving herself from any additional stress which may have come from her difficult marital situation at the time, which could've negatively impacted her chances of survival, she left my father, with no college degree, living only on money from credit cards and what she eventually began to make from real estate after working tirelessly and finally getting her license. She never made it clear to my sister and I the financial difficulties she constantly struggled with. There were always things that she would have to say no to, things our other friends had, that at the time seemed like a big deal that we were missing out on. Looking back, she always did such a brilliant job protecting my sister and I from the stress she must have been battling constantly to support her two daughters entirely on her own. Leaving my father must have been the most terrifying move of her life, yet after growing up with her and watching her strength in every turbulent situation we went through as a family, I couldn't imagine her making any other choice.
When my Mom did have money, she always made sure to spend it on things that were so special to my sister and I. The greatest things she bought were plane tickets and hotel rooms, to destinations like Grand Cayman Island. I'll never forget that trip with my Mom and sister, we needed it, and she needed it more than anyone. I'll never know how tight money was after such a huge expense, I only know that she didn't show for a minute on that trip that money had even crossed her mind. We went parasailing, stayed at a brand new hotel right across from the beach, and ate amazing food the entire trip. The last few weeks I've had recurring dreams of memories from that trip, as if I was living it again. How terribly I wish I was.
Special moments with my Mom were not unique to family vacations or other special occasions… except for birthdays. Every birthday I've ever spent with my Mom is fresh and new in my memory, as if they had all happened consecutively in the past month. My Mom always loved birthdays, as did her Mother. She told me stories of how her Mom would toilet paper the trees in their front yard, and make the biggest deal out of every single birthday. My Mom continued this tradition in her own way, to the delight of my sister and I. Every birthday she would wake up early and blow up tons of balloons to fill our rooms with and the dining room, where we would have the breakfast of our choice, all of which were so wonderful, as she is the most amazing cook. As she would so many other days, she came into our rooms singing off key, often her own lyrics, doing crazy dance moves, to wake us up. We would correct the lyrics and she'd keep singing her own. I remember many times being annoyed by all the noise, and then the first year I went off to college, I remember crying in my dorm room, missing her songs in the morning, especially the ones on my birthdays. The party didn't stop with her birthday songs. She would paint the windows of our house and draw balloons, she stacked our birthday presents in their beautifully colored wrapping paper in front of our plates. She always was terrible about keeping surprises, and would always be just as excited to see us unwrap our presents as we were to open them, which made the morning exponentially more fun. With every present unwrapped, her big, beautiful smile would be beaming at us from across the table, teeming with excitement, perfectly mirroring our own expression of supreme delight. I later realized I possessed the same trait of having an awful time keeping the secret of what present I had bought to myself. I remember multiple occasions in FedEx stores in New York City when I'd be on the phone with her as they were packaging her gifts and I'd be asking her "do you want to know what it is?" and she always said no, and I always remained so anxious and eager to hear from her after she had received my gift. I'd make her promise me to open it while we were on the phone together, and she always would. It was the best feeling being able to give her something that I knew she needed or that she would really enjoy, despite the gift often being the same- her favorite perfume, Chanel number 19. It was special for me to have her on the receiving end of something meaningful on her birthday.

"From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence," said Jonas Geust, Vice President, heading Nokia Nseries.
Lets all welcome Nokia to the club of high end touch screen phones. There were phones from HTC , Samsung , LG , SONY and yeah, Apple too. The moment nokia release a touch phone, everyone start comparing it with iPhone. It happened with Nokia 5800 and its happening with Nokia N97 too. However, lets have a closer look at what it has to offer.
Nokia Nseries Flagship means highly technologically advanced multimedia devices.
You may not want me to go in detail because the standard of a Nokia Flagship Nseries device is known to everybody. 3.5mm jack slot , GPS , Wifi , > 3 inch Screen ( for touch phones ), 5MP camera , VGA video recording with 30FPS etc are very much known.
However, I will just brush up with stuffs , which are making this handset too hot to handle :
Sensing your 'So-Lo'
The Nokia N97 introduces the concept of 'social location'. With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understands where it is. The Nokia N97 makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their 'status' and share their 'social location' as well as related pictures or videos.
Widescreen Internet and Entertainment
The marvel of 3.5″ touch screen with Virtual touch input ( I wonder what's virtual touch ) and physical QWERTY keypad is nicely exploited by Nokia. If nokia claims are true, this will really prove a multimedia computer in your pocket with every feature of a desktop computer. Flash Support while browsing web is now becoming a Nseries Standard.
Custom Standby Screen
As I said a 3.5″ touchscreen is huge and if you can customize it with stuffs which matter you the most, nothing could be a better utilization. You have got widgets, and just drag and drop it on the screen. Use it the way you like and you will end up falling in love with Nokia N97.
Comes with Music and upto 48GB harddisk
Device with 32GB inbuilt memory space + expansion slot supporting 16GB memory could just make you feel, ditching your portable HDD.
Comes with Music , is another feature through which you will get upto 1 year of free subscription to Nokia Music Store and will allow you download music till that 48GB device end up saying "I AM FULL" .
I know my conclusion of nokia 5800 is still pending, but however with release of Nokia N97, that conclusion will now be even more interesting.
At 550Euros, this device enters the premium segment because at this time of recession, I wonder someone will be that much interested in spending that much on a mobile phone. This is just my thought, but again you never know, it could be a best seller.
Nokia phones are always technologically advanced, and same is demonstrated in real time with release of Nokia N97. Personalized home screen is not new (Samsung phone has it ) but something well thought by Nokia. After all, not everyone uses all the features of the phone.
However, there are certain things which are making me question this handset :
- No disclosure about the CPU specification. After all no one would like this phone to operate slow.
- No ground breaking design, kinda copied from Xperia + HTC tytn II . However, I dont have any complains of the design, the only thing which puts me off is that by the end of the Day "SIZE DOES MATTER" . With a slider qwerty keypad and hefty weight it becomes a bit bulky and wont let you feel comortable while sliding it inside your gene pocket.
- The official video release showed nice animated menus and transition between screens. However, the same is not there in Hands On Videos.
- I know multitouch is more or less a gimmick than having any actual use, but Nokia should have given a thought on exploiting that.
Rest everything about this phone is really great, and am just waiting to see an details hands on review. But as usual when everyone is comparing it with Iphone, let me have my thoughts too :
Is this an Iphone Killer ????
I may be contradicting myself but once I concluded in a post, the best way to beat Iphone by being
Not another Iphone
Nokia is doing it that way, They want to compete design with technological advancement,and hence the target audience is totally different. But as I said earlier by the end of the day "SIZE DOES MATTER" .
Iphone is used more of a fashion oriented device, which is sleek , gives a premium look and also has loads of applications. If you are holding an Iphone, people know that its THE iPhone, but here Nokia N97 could make people confuse with HTC or a Sony Xperia.
However, I hope and wish for the opposite of what I wrote in the above paragraph. I want Nokia N97 to be a huge success and finally turn the actual iPhone loving audience to look out for alternatives.
But as the release date is very far , as of now I am just waiting for Nokia 5800.

By investigating a rare and severe form of diabetes in children, University of Iowa researchers have discovered a new molecular mechanism that regulates specialized pancreatic cells and insulin secretion. The mechanism involves a protein called ankyrin, which UI researchers previously linked to potentially fatal human heart arrhythmias.
The findings, which appear this week in the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may help identify new molecular targets for treating both rare and common forms of diabetes and hyperinsulinemia.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 23.6 million people have diabetes in the United States. The condition doubles the risk of death and includes complications such as heart disease, stroke, eye and kidney problems, and peripheral vascular disease.
The University of Iowa team, working with researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, used animal and cellular models to focus on a gene mutation linked with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. Children with this genetic form of diabetes have symptoms by age 6 months and require lifelong dependence on insulin to maintain proper glucose levels.
The team discovered that the specific human gene mutation disrupts the ability of the protein ankyrin to regulate a key protein complex known as the KATP channel.
"We have known for some time that human mutations in the KATP channel complex may cause diabetes or hyperinsulinemia," said Faith Kline, Ph.D., the study's lead author and postdoctoral fellow in internal medicine in the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. "Now we know something about how this specific KATP channel mutation results in disease.
"The KATP channel essentially functions as a gatekeeper for insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells. Without proper regulation by this gatekeeper, the pancreatic beta cells are unable to efficiently regulate

I gave my 2 weeks notice last week and WOW am I surprised at the response I received. I told my boss that i accepted another positon (after working at my job for 5 years) and she told me to get out of her office. Since then, she has put me on 'copy duty' as she doesnt want to 'look at my face.' I am a caseworker and have files to update and close in this two week period, but she wont let me do them- she wants me to copy and file papers so she doesnt have to look at me. Also, my co-workers are angry and have written me several rude emails because they have to pick up my role when I leave.
My advice to is NOT give a two weeks notice if you have someone who can give you a reference (I do- its another so I should just walk out, but Im not going to just because I want to finish my cases.
The worst part is I thought these people were my friends- l
any ideas on what i should do to survive the next 2 weeks?
anyone ever dealt with this before? any advice will help!
Additional Details
In response to Mary B's extremly rude response, I feel the need to explain a few things. I made No mistakes. I left a job where there was room for growth after being a loyal and hard working employee for 5 years. I DID give a two week notice and will continue my two weeks out, even though I should walk considering how rude they all are. As for letting them kow about my second job, what was I supposed to say" hey Im outta here" with no explanation? I did leave for a higher pay and more growth. I didnt expect nor want an increase from them- you have no right to accuse me of "expecting a raise and not getting it" when you dont even know me. . And I didnt tell anyone where I was going. I wish they didnt make me finish out my two weeks- Sounds likes you are one of those nusiness owners who dont deserve a 2 weeks notice, Wow- people are so rude. Thanks for all the other kind responses. I know I am the "right" person in this situation :)

Ok Liz...you obviously don't know what the problem is, but as a business owner, I'll tell you.
First, You ALWAYS give a two-week notice unless you want that company to report you to your future employer as abandoning you job...which they CAN LEGALLY do.
Only a big immature baby would avoid giving a notice.
Second, YOUR MISTAKE was to tell them you found another job.
What you were probably expecting was a big raise to stay, a promotion, etc. by telling them you found another job.
You didn't get the reaction you were looking for.
Professionals know that you simply give your notice, thank them for working there, and if they ask why you are leaving, you only say, "To persue other activities".
You tell NO ONE where you are going.
If you work in a business that has to be secure or deals with people's personal information.....it is STANDARD to not allow the person to work out the notice at all.

I left my job in August. I told my boss at 3:30 Thursday that tomorrow would be my last day, and I needed to leave early to take a drug test. The other people at work understood that I was leaving to do something better for myself. In general, they were happy for me. I didn't like giving one-day's notice. But I don't regret it. If I gave two weeks, I would've only been there another day or two.

I would take this very seriously. First does your boss, have a boss. If so, talk to that person soon,and explain everything. It sounds like your a very professional person, for wanting to stay there, and take the abuse, just so you can do the right thing. If you belong to a union, you could file a grievance. Weigh out your options, and explain to your boss, that your not afraid to go over her head. What' she going to do, fire you?
Good luck.....I hope your new employer is more human.

the 2 weeks notice to to allow them to get a new employee and for you to finalise work and get your last pay.
If she doesn't want you there then call in sick, use up your benefits, take your holiday pay and run. They obviously are bitter, bitter little women.
I hope your new job in much nicer than these hoes are being

Joker 1
Unfortunately, I went through the same thing many years ago.
Every once in a while, someone in our office would just quit and go to another job. They didn't give two weeks notice or anything, so we always got blindsided when they left.
People would comment on how rude it was, or how they wish they'd given notice and not screwed us up. Our boss had stated a few times, how he'd have let the person use the time left to organize things and get everyone up to speed with their projects, etc. etc.
So, when it was time for me to leave for a new job, I arranged it with my new boss to stay the full two weeks at my old job. She wasn't happy about it, but she understood that I didn't want to leave my soon to be old co-workers in a lurch.
When I informed everyone of my two weeks notice, you'd have thought I just clubbed a puppy to death.
My boss sent a couple co-workers for my files and gave me all of two hours to explain what was going on with them. The next day I was sent to the copy / document room to finish my time there.
For over a week I was regulated to making copies and filing records and reports. My co-workers pretty much snubbed me, except for a couple of them who are still my friends today.
Halfway into the second week, one of the people who took my files was spreading gossip that I wouldn't share information in my files. My soon to be ex-boss had a quick word with me, about how I should be a team player, even though I was leaving and sticking it to them.
I reminded him, that if there were any questions about my files, everyone knew I was stuck in the document room. All anyone had to do was walk down the aisle and ask me a question.
He got a little nasty and made a comment that he had only to deal with me for a couple days.
That was it, we were going to war.
During the last three days I was there, I made it a point to mis-label and mis-file records, as much as I could get away with.
I changed the auto office supply order system. Where they needed a case of garbage bags, they ordered three cases. Where they needed black pens, red was ordered, etc, etc.
After I left, the couple friends I still had there, said the next couple of orders from the office supply company were hectic. And it was over six months before the filing system fully recovered.
Since then, I no longer give or suggest a two week notice, not after how I was treated.

Well, those guys are pr!cks.
They are clearly very unprofessional, but please don't use them as an example of how most people work.
I happen to be the guy that hires, fires, and schedules. I try to keep things fair and I try to take care of my employees. My schedules come out a month in advance and I'm pretty good at honoring requests.
I had an employee who found a "better job". He decided to just leave without notice. I got stuck shorthanded for a week and had to beg a lot of favors of my remaining employees to change their plans. Luckily, almost all of my employees are willing to help me out as best they can, but we still got short shifted several times the first week.
Two months later, this guy came back when I was out of the shop. It turns out he got that sucker call, the seasonal job paying $18 an hour that "could turn into full time employment". He was out of a job. He got chased out of the shop by two guys who pulled double shifts and another who almost missed his wife's birthday party.
Trust me, I know that there are a lot of jobs where people bring personal issues into play, which sounds like what your ex-boss was doing. It's not fair, it's not right, but take the high road my friend. Two wrongs do not make a right...
Of course, since your ex-boss is in the wrong I see no reason not to take the low road in that case. Just don't assume that every boss will act in such an unprofessional manner.
Hope this helps!

Ok people may say I'm wrong or a jerk for thinking this way. But oh well.
I agree that 2 week notices are complete bs. Why should anyone be forced to give a 2 week notice? The company can survive if you just got up and left. Obviously if you want to leave, theirs a problem and the company is not fulfilling your needs or looking out for your interests.
It's interesting however a company can fire anyone for no reason without warning and send you on your way. And because your fired, you can't even collect unemployment. Now a person getting fired without warning or even with warning can be set for extreme hardship. But the company is not obligated to give the employee any notice. And how many do?
I have gave two week notice before. And you know what's happened. They retaliated, because they didn't want me to leave. Instead they will rather you not be their at all. So giving a 2 week notice can now cause you to go 2 weeks without pay. Second, I had them short my paycheck.
Sometimes 2 week notices work out, and other times they don't. The problem is you never know.
So why is their this double standard?

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Sports' started by Zodiac, Jul 10, 2006.
I don't care who you are - that's pretty darn funny.
Well, being second best isn't a bad thing. I was considering that he was only about 7 miles behind No 1 in the Sebring 24-hour event. There was a group of recumbents, drafting, who exceeded 500 miles. No 1 did 523 miles, No 2 did 516.
No 2's wife also did 516 miles but I'd rank her behind Maria Parker who did 474 miles non-drafting in the same event. :eek1
I don't care what you ride - anything over 400 miles is pretty serious riding. 500+ is hard to fathom even under the best conditions.
To put that in perspective, lots of riders, DF and recumbent, have done 250 miles in a day. The first day of nearly every 400-km, 600-km and 1200-km brevet is right at 250-miles in the first "day".
I say "day" because most are done with 400-km in 18 hour or so. The challenge as you transition from 600-km to 1200-km is essentially riding three double-centuries back-to-back-to-back followed by a 150 day to finish the event. Being physically prepared is one thing but the bigger challenge is psychological.
I never saw the movie you referenced but I suppose it one thing to sit behind a computer and "talk" versus going out riding.
From what I've observed, most of the people in this thread seem to have a pretty good balance and I appreciate the stories, the experiences and the expertise that's demonstrated here from riders like yourself, Docnut, Gummee, Rouch, Yeti, etc, etc, etc.
I don't even hold it against any of you guys just because you don't ride a recumbent.
Had good ride up to the old fire lookout atop South Fork Mountain this morning. A CX bike is my normal choice for this ride, but my buddy's Psychlo X is in pieces right now so we took the MTBs. A suspension fork and fat tires make the descent a lot less harrowing, too.
<IFRAME height=405 src="http://www.strava.com/activities/85540544/embed/729b0190769fbc340b3e340f4430d0cbb9eb8ce3" frameBorder=0 width=590 allowTransparency scrolling=no></IFRAME>
It's a long way to the top, but the view is worth it. (This is my best side, BTW. )
Man - that's beautiful country!
Nice ride, nearly 4,000 feet of climbing and a nice payoff.
Put in another 28 against my better judgement. Bottom bracket creaking, snapping and popping now. FSA... Fucking Shyte Accessories.
About half way I thought I should find a shortcut back to the truck or risk walking back with a broken machine. But I did the loop anyway.
I have everything I need to make the Dura-Ace swap aside from the $2.50 plastic tool that you use on the left side Dura Ace crankarm to set the preload.
In other news, for the first time in my adult life I threw the chain while going from big ring to small ring. How embarrassing. And I couldn't even trick the shitey bastard back on by massaging the FD while rolling. I had to stop and coax it back on.
The ignominy.
Did the MS charity ride to the Jersey Shore today. Me and 8,000 other riders.
80 miles and a total of 1,015 feet of vertical. See, we've got hills.
I got in 32 miles yesterday. Perfect riding weather. My KM is way down this month, life getting in the way and more rain. 420km
I LOVE the Clement tires, they ride great and handle good in gravel and rain. They are wearing great too.
I FINALLY made it down to 169lbs this morning
Taking the vstrom to the mountains tomorrow.
I wanted a challenge and I got one. I rode my Trek XO1 Single Speed with a 39/16 gear on a 100k full of short steep climbs. 59 miles, 4,400 vert. feet, and 3h45' later, I was wolfing down a blueberry fry pie with ice cream.
I can't wait until tomorrow to see how my legs feel at the mx track. They'll probably fold like a cheap lawn chair under Rosie O"Donnel on the 1st jump.
Congrats on the weight loss, it can be a long rough road but worth it in the end.
Nicely done. You're an ironman.
How was the gearing, spot on?
Love Cycling, unfortunately have become a bit lazy in the last month and don't get to more than maybe 50km a week and far from every week at the moment
Here's my do it all bike a Surly Troll I built up 2 years ago
As I don't do any mountain biking at the moment I replaced the suspension fork with a ridgid one and mounted some mudguards
Welcome to advrider
Nice bike and your country is beautiful
though i have only seen it through pics
It is, I came to Ireland from last year, I'm originally from Austria
The small country roads here are very nice for cycling and motorcycling, somehow terrible with the car, too narrow and you can never see what's round the corner due to bushes and/or walls, but well I don't have a car....
A big +1 on the Clement tires. 3 of my 4 bikes wear Clement rubber with the dedicated CX rig swapping the LAS file treads for Kenda Slant Sixes in the wet winter months. When the Kendas get used up, I'll be replacing them with some MXPs.
Have you tried removing the left pedal, clean up the thread on both surfaces - pedal and bottom bracket, re-install and torque to spec?
What FSA crank are you running? SL-K?
Can't remember if you mentioned it earlier.
My Trek 1x9...
Its funny that Clement has come out of the woodwork. I used Clement back in the days of silk sewups, they were the /only/ tire as far as I was concerned. Sewup prices went to the moon after they had a big fire in their factory in the 70s, and I ended up switching to clinchers, first the Michelin Elan, then later 700c. Nada peep of that name for 30 years. Apparently Pirelli bought them back in the 80s, and they rapidly sank into obscurity, until an American firm, Donnelly Sports, bought them in 2010 and revived the brand, making the tires in Thailand. The only "Donnelly Sports" I can find anything about is a team uniform reseller, doesn't seem to be any connection.
Yes, SL-K light.
I have had a shop pull it apart and then I did it myself just yesterday morning. I bought the tools to remove the bottom bracket cups and the crank arm is self extracting. The noise sounds like the cups are loose in the frame but I can assure they are not. It took every ounce of arse I had to remove them. The shop threw them back in with Loctite but I cleaned all that up and reinstalled with grease. I swapped pedals early on to make sure it wasn't the pedals, which do have a small amount of play in them. (Look Keo Max with about 600 miles on them). It's not the pedals. It has to be in the bearings.
I have the Dura Ace chainset and the bottom bracket and new chain sitting in the shop awaiting install. If you want the SL-K crank let me know. I am getting a return shipping authorization from FSA for the bottom bracket cups and mailing them back to FSA along with 30 lbs of gravel.
The chainset is compact. I guess if the hollow spindle is coming loose from the crankarm that could be the creaking and popping.
I was considering upgrading the Merckx to an ultra torque chainset but I think I'll leave the square taper bottom bracket installed. Using a wave washer as a means to set preload seems pikey to me. But maybe that's just me.
Post some more photos of your rides, Inyang. We've been waiting.

Instant Shape/Self-Shaping Artificial Christmas trees
One disadvantage in having an artificial Christmas tree whether pre lit or unlit is the time it takes to set up and fluff the tree branches and tree tips. When you take out your tree from the shipping carton it arrived in or is stored in, your work is just starting. The sections of the tree and the branches are compressed to fit inside the carton so year after year the make ready time never ends. Worst of all we are never given any guidance on how this fluffing should be done. Do we start at the top and work down or do we do the opposite and start at the bottom. The answer is that either method works. Of course, we always have the photo of the tree on the shipping label or how it is pictured on the web site but to duplicate this look you would have to be a professional designer or have the means to hire a decorator. For those busy households with limited time for decorating, those of us who are Christmas tree set up challenged and those seniors who need help handling their Christmas decorating a solution was needed.
Artificial Christmas tree manufactures recognized this problem and came up with a solution. The instant shape or self-shaping Christmas tree was born. These types of trees are equipped with special memory wire, which allows the branches, and tips to spring into shape when removed from its storage carton or storage bag. Trees come from the factory this way so all you have to do is take it out of the box, assemble the sections and in 15-20 minutes you are done. No more endless hours shaping the tree. The Instant shape, easy set up Christmas tree does not require you to bend and fluff all the branches like you do on a non-instant shape artificial tree.
You could always buy a non-artificial cut Christmas tree then bending and fluffing branches and tips would be a mute point. However, then you would have other problems. The fire hazard is always present as the tree dry outs. You have to buy a new one every year and the cost can really add up. Think of all the live trees cut each year that are never sold and dumped in landfills. If you want or need a really full tree or a pencil shaped tree only an artificial Christmas tree offers this large of a selection. You can tailor a tree to fit almost any space. Do you want to go back to cleaning up all those shedding needles and dealing with messy water bowls to keep those needles fresh?
Try the new Self-shaping easy to set up artificial Christmas listed on the web site www.webechristmas.com. The profile and traditional look of this tree remains the same as a non-instant shaped tree. The advantages are you don't spend hours setting up and getting frustrated decorating your home for the Christmas holidays.

Pink & Red Living Room
Clashing colours result in a youthful look.
Pink and red — formerly cantankerous colours — are just one example of analogous colours that make perfect mates in decorating today. A pop of blue and the mix of contemporary and vintage art add to the eclectic space by designer Miles Redd. "New traditional rooms have many of the hallmarks of timeless decorating, but with a few irreverent twists," says senior design editor Margot Austin.

For today's chart we've chosen to take a look at DR Horton Inc (NYSE:DHI) because it is trading within an ascending triangle formation. As many of you know, the ascending triangle is constructed by a series of increasing troughs that fail to break through an identified price barrier. The clearly marked levels of support and resistance make this pattern is a favorite amongst many short-term traders.
A price move above the resistance is used to suggest that the bulls are in control of the direction and it is often followed by a quick move higher. As you can see from the chart below, a rise above $18 would likely trigger a wave of buy orders. We'd expect many traders to set their short-term target prices near the 161.8% Fibonacci extension level, which is near $23.

And forget the smallest things
That matter the most
And when all is done

We look back

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, 2011 President Barack Obama issued a proclamation today recognizing Sept. 25 as Gold Star Mother's and Family's Day to honor those who have lost loved ones who died serving their country in uniform.
The proclamation reads:
"Since our nation's earliest days, the men and women of our armed forces have demonstrated the courage and heroism that have come to define America. Across shores, in deserts, and on city streets around the world, extraordinary Americans have given their last full measure of devotion defending the freedoms we cherish. Their ultimate sacrifice is one we can never fully repay, and the enormity of the grief their families carry we can never fully know.
"Gold Star mothers and families know the immeasurable cost of fighting for the ideals we believe in, and they know the pride that comes with exemplary service to America. On this day, and every day, we offer them our deep gratitude and respect, and we are inspired by their strength and determination. Through heartbreaking loss, our Gold Star families continue to support one another, serve their communities, and bring comfort to the men and women of our armed forces and their families.
"Our fallen heroes answered their country's call to duty, sacrificing all they had and all they would ever know. Their families exemplify that same mark of selflessness and patriotism that has sustained our country and will sustain us through trials to come. We honor their sacrifice, and stand with our service members, military families, and Gold Star families as they have stood for us. Today, we reaffirm our promise to care for those left behind, to uphold the ideals for which the fallen gave their lives, and to carry with us their legacy as we work toward a better future."
Obama called on all government officials to display the U.S. flag over government buildings to acknowledge the day and encouraged the American people to display it and hold appropriate ceremonies "as a public expression of our nation's sympathy and respect for our Gold Star mothers and families."
Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Thank you, sir, for this honor for our fallen loved ones. It's not for us, but in memory of our children that never should be forgotten.
- Ruth Hartn, Bethlehem Pa
I guess that the way to honor our fallen veterans and service members is to raise the TRI-CARE rates of the living ones and their families as is currently being done by the Administration with future hikes planned as well. What a shame that the members of our armed forces, as lowly paid as they are for the life sacrificing work they do, are requied to share even more in the debt accumulated in the last few years. Disgraceful.

The RX-8 is little changed for the 2007 model year. It is available in two new colors-Crystal White Pearl and Stormy Blue Mica-a 6-CD changer becomes standard equipment in the Touring and Grand Touring versions, and the Grand Touring trim is available with Sand leather-trimmed seats.
Mazda alone among automakers has persisted in developing the rotary engine and uses the latest version to power its RX-8, a unique 4-door sports car. The rotary engine doesn't have pistons in cylinders, but a triangular rotor in a cocoon-shaped combustion chamber. Rather than pumping up and down, the rotor spins to produce its power. A rotary engine can provide substantial horsepower in a compact package. Thus, the RX-8 powerplant displaces only 1.3 liters, yet generates 232 hp when linked to a 6-speed manual transmission and 212 hp when joined with a 6-speed automatic.
The RX-8 is different not only in technology but in its design, which Mazda calls "freestyle" and "athletically sculpted," and has interior accommodations that provide room for four occupants, not just two as in most sports cars. Access to the car's interior is eased by its rear-hinged rear access doors. The RX-8 looks like an automotive athlete, but is more sleek and taut than muscle bound. Even with its 4-seat interior architecture, the RX-8 is a rear-drive sports car with racing-style suspension and exciting dynamic capabilities.
Four trim packages are available. One step up from the base level, which comes with six air bags (including side curtains), is the Sport package that adds high-intensity discharge headlamps, fog lamps, and dynamic stability control, as well as 18-inch wheels, a limited-slip differential, a sport-tuned suspension, and larger brakes. The Touring package adds a moonroof, an auto-dimming mirror, a Bose audio system, and Homelink. The Grand Touring trim adds a power-adjustable feature to the driver's seat and leather seating with heated front seats. Available options include a DVD-based navigation system.
The Competition
The Mazda RX-8 competes in the Midsize Sporty segment, which consists of five models. Buyers in this segment look for exterior styling, performance, and quality, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Avoider StudySM and the Escaped Shopper Study.SM
The top sellers in the segment during calendar year 2006, according to the J.D. Power and Associates Sales Report,SM were the Ford Mustang (166,530 units sold), Toyota Camry Solara (50,815), and Chevrolet Monte Carlo (34,113). The Mazda RX-8 sold 9,343 units in 2006, a decrease of 37.2 percent compared to the previous year. Other models offered in the Midsize Sporty segment include the Mitsubishi Eclipse.

A night to dine, drink wine and support YWCA
CORPUS CHRISTI - Good wine and good food for a good cause was how I spent my evening on July 14.
The YWCA had a four-course dinner and wine pairing at Johnny Carino's. I was surrounded by strong women, including entrepreneurs, politicians, doctors and volunteers, all who gathered to support the Y's mission and each other.
For example, Michela Hernandez is the day care director, and she spent her afternoon setting our tables, which were accented with grape strands and oversized purple napkins.
Nanette Ayala and Anita Rosales were invited by board member Tammy Jackson. I stopped Maria Araiza as she walked by so I could admire her black purse with heavy round accents. It reminded me of the Jimmy Choo I oh-so-admired. Maria shared that her bag was a mere $20 plus the cost of travel to Oregon, where she bought it.
As the spinach salad and chardonnay were served, I settled in next to Connie Garrison and her family. Her daughter Shannon was home for a visit, and she told us she planned on enjoying all four courses of wine since Mom was the designated driver.
Connie's mother, Mary Shockley, was proud to be the Y's newest board member and quickly changed into her board-member orange pin-striped button-down shirt. They recently returned from Tunica, Miss., and I just had to ask, "Of the places you could go, why go there?"
Connie had the best answer of all — gambling. We like to watch (wink).
The Garrisons weren't the only mother-daughter duo. Shannon Wallace and her mother, Sharon Trott, were enjoying the baked cheese ravioli with Banfi Centine. Sharon told me she enjoyed being a good role model for her daughter. When I asked her to which role she was referring — empowering women or knowing which wine to pair with which with course — Shannon replied, "It's all good."
Burgundy rosemary chicken paired with cabernet sauvignon arrived, and I couldn't help but notice one of the few men in attendance. I asked D.D. Dlabaja how she convinced husband Scott to join her and she said, "He loves it. Wine and women are two of his favorite things."
Nancy Wesson-Dodd stopped by each table and thanked us for attending, reminding each guest that our attendance benefits young girls who don't have the same opportunities as those at the table. She mentioned some young women she works with have who have never left their own ZIP code.
As Amaretto cheesecake and white zinfandel arrived, we nodded and agreed we were glad to do our part.
Bottom's up.
