any help?
Re: Rotrax build
Can't believe I didn't see that one before - I mean it's the second result
Anyway 4.6mm equates to 3/16th, right? And 3/16th I have and they don't fit. Just ran the caliper over them again and they're 4.8mm, so 0.2mm larger diameter than pardo.net's measure, that doesn't seem enough to prevent the thread even starting. Pardo's approximate thread pitch measure is very fine. The only thread it matches is ME which doesn't seem right. There are so few threads and they're so small that taking a measurement with any sort of accuracy would require special tools. Microscope comes to mind.
I emailed Peter Underwood. He suggested the threads may be the same as bottom bracket oilers. I've tried a BB oiler in the hub and it does thread in a few turns, anyone know what spec BB oilers are?

Without checking I can't give you the specs but Bottom bracket oilers came in at least three different sizes. If he meant the 'normal' flip top type then I can tell now they don't fit as I have tried this Most Tecalimit (sp?) types are also too big as well as they were normally meant for headsets.
However, in the end I did find a small Tecalimit nipple that fitted my rear Harden hub in my spares box (I think it came off an old wrecked hub of another make) but only one. The front hub has to make do with a blanking plug.
Have you tried pinching a grease nipple off an old Sturmey Hub?
Re: Rotrax build
Thanks Richard, I hadn't but gave it a go just now. The SA nipple is too big.
Re: Rotrax build
Quited helpful, thanks
Re: Rotrax build
one for the Foe list
Re: Rotrax build
at the risk of being
if you have a grease nipple which is very, very close, is it possible to retap the thread on the hub to suit?
Re: Rotrax build
I suppose you could. I have two in complete wheels with missing nipples though so that'd mean dismantling the wheels. Wouldn't it??
Following communication with someone selling some bacon slicers (sans nipples) on a popular auction site I bought some 2BA nipples. They look identical to the one existing one I have and they fit and screw in a couple of turns but not all the way. They didn't come with the tiny fat washers that my original has though. I suppose with those they'd be pretty good. Only thing I've found that fits at all.
Oh yeah, the bacon slicers were in Perth too, I could have picked them up if I remembered to bid! The pair went for $135 I think, which considering they were in good nick seemed reasonable. Oh well...
Re: Rotrax build
I still have a few things to do on the Rotrax but I've been riding it a around a bit lately. I was up early this AM, conditions were cloudy (and thus perfick for photographing bikes), couldn't resist the opportunity. There's nothing very purist about this resto. It's a coastie for starters, the rims are modern H+Son TB14s with Conti 4000s. Reynolds domed topped seat posts are in short supply so there's a modern post hiding behind the Rapha toolbag. Seat post binder bolt is wrong I think. The head badge is taped on as per earlier suggestions. Have yet to put dummy rivet heads in place. Still it rides (and stops) quite beautifully, and nothing evil has been done to the frame. Big thanks to silverlight who sold me the frame in the first place and to all who've made helpful contributions. Seriously could not have done it without help!

Re: Rotrax build
Brilliant stuff!! Fantastic build. Those bars look all the better for the cloth tape...any plans for similar pics of the 5 Star?
Re: Rotrax build
Of course. I want to change the stem to a period one first. Then wrap the bars. Etc...
Re: Rotrax build
I stumbled across the 1950 Harden Catalogue and thought I would post the link here in case anyone searching about Harden hubs stumbles onto this page.
many other period catalogues at that site

The College of Eastern Utah women's basketball team finished a two game road trip with back to back victories. After struggling throughout the season, the Lady Eagles hope to finish the season strong, and with the double victories, the women are on the road to doing so with only one game left in the regular season.
The Eagles began the weekend in Oregon where they completed a win over the Treasure Valley Chuckers, 68-56. This victory found the entire Eagles team contributing to the final score.
Megan Valgardson lead the Eagles in scoring with 15 points. Valgardson also lead the Eagles in rebounding with a total of nine rebounds against the Chuckers.
Rose Hamilton followed in scoring with 12 points. Hamilton shot 3-6 from the three point line while dishing out five assists, stealing three balls, and pulling down two rebounds.
The Eagles bench also had the opportunity to contribute to the team effort, and this contribution was quite successful. Brindi Spadafora completed the game with nine points. From the three point line, Spadafora was quite successful with 3-5 completed while also stealing the ball three times against the struggling Chucker team.
Alexandra Cobb also assisted the Eagles in the victory against the Chuckers with seven rebounds and six points. Dawnielle Boudreaux helped the Eagles out defensively with two blocked shots and two rebounds.
The victory over the Chuckers was a complete team effort, and the Eagles carried this effort on to Idaho where the team played the Southern Idaho Golden Eagles. Once again, the Eagles from CEU walked away victorious by the score of 64-62.
Julianne Orgill lead CEU in scoring with 17 points. Orgill also completed seven steals, two blocked shots, three assists, three rebounds, and 1-2 three point shots.
The extraordinary performance from Orgill carried over to her teammates who assisted the team in the road victory. Kasey Mills scored nine points while stealing seven balls, dishing out four assists, and pulling down two rebounds Saturday night in Idaho.
Once again, Hamilton played a great game. Hamilton finished with seven points, 10 assists, and six rebounds.
The two victories this past weekend bring the Eagles to 6-11 record in the Scenic West Athletic Conference standings, and 11-18 overall this season. Although the Eagles have been plagued with bad luck this season, the team seems to be turning things around as the season nears a completion.
The Eagles will finish the season Friday in Colorado as the team meets the Spartans of Colorado Northwestern Community College. The Eagles hope to finish the season strong against the struggling Spartan team.
As the Eagles prepare to finish the season, they are reminded of what a struggle it has been throughout the year. Although the team has not won many games, the experience the team has gathered is far more valuable than a winning record.
As the team prepares to move on in many different directions at the end of the season, the Eagles are reminded of how strong the teams determination to win really has been during the season. This determination will carry on to Friday's game in Colorado where the team will play for pride and a final season victory.

It is widely regarded that a healthy diet protects against major illness. Men on the whole however, are not given to healthy eating and lifestyle practices, although recent reports from the Department for Health (2009) suggest men's health awareness is beginning to change.
One reason for men's slow up-take of a healthy lifestyle and eating practices is the meanings men attach to food and the relationship between diet and health (Gough, 2007). Historically, diet and the concern with healthy eating have been associated with feminised ideals and practices which centre on consumption, health and embodiment (Gill, Henwood & McLean, 2005). These associations put pressure on men to conform to conventional masculine identity projects with their disinterest in health and appearance. The recent launch of the Super Scooby provides an interesting example of how masculine ideals can absolve men from changing their health-defeating ways.
The Metro's article about the 'Super Scooby' with its 'artery-busting 2,645 calories' draws on conventional masculine identity markers, which allow men to engage unproblematically in eating the unhealthy meal. For example the 'Super Scooby' is offered to 'real men' who are willing to take up the challenge to 'beat the (as yet unbeaten) beast'. Indeed, the 'Super Scooby' provides a man-size portion of meat with its eight rashers of bacon and four burgers (Gough 2007). Irony and humour (see Benwell, 2004) are also frequently used to mock health concerns associated with eating the burger 'health concerns haven't been completely ignored – the monster burger contains some salad. It boasts two lettuce leaves and six slices of tomato… accounting for all of 29 calories'.

"dog love them!"
i have three sizes of these carseats. My dogs LOVE them-and also use them every day in the house to nap in. This Loookout w/drawer is the largest one, and my 61 lb. English Bulldog uses it. I didn't need the drawer-but that's the way it is. Great seat-washable cover!
"Great car seat"
This is a comfortable, secure car seat for multiple dogs. It is well designed for the comfort of the dogs. The dogs can rest their chins on the front of the seat and see out the front window really well while lying down. They can sit up and lean with their front legs on the sides and the back and see in those directions as well. When they tire, the seat is a very comfortable bed for them. The sides do cushion them from sudden stops. You should use only a harness with this seat for safety purposes. A comfort harness is good choice and protects the trachea from injury. It is a large seat. I have a Toyota Tundra and I do not not need the seatbelt extension but just barely. It might not fit well in smaller cars and the single seat may be a better choice for some vehicles. It is great for keeping the dogs secure and away from distracting the driver. My rat terrier/chihuahua mixes learned to ride in the seat very quickly. The height is perfect for very short dogs or puppies. It is not complicated to install into the vehicle or to attach the dogs to. It is really a perfect car seat.
"Great car seat"
This is a great car seat. I have an 11 lb rat terrier/chihuahua mix and a 7 lb rat terrier/chihuahua mix and they both learned very quickly how to ride in this seat. It is extremely comfortable for them. The design is wonderful. They can prop their chins up on the front, low cut side and still see outside the front window. They can sit up and lean with their elbows on the sides and back and see outside. They are perfectly elevated too see in all directions. The seat is very comfortable for them to nap in. It is also seems secure. They are cushioned for sudden stops. If you use a comfort harness with it, that adds to the safety. I would never use this with just a collar. This seat that holds multiple dogs is large. I have a Toyota Tundra and can barely get it in. You may want to consider the single seat if you have a smaller car
I have the single car lookout and this one for 3 little dogs. My carseats are used almost everyday by my pets and my foster small dogs. My dogs love them and use them in the house as well. All my dogs are trained to ride in them and even my foster dogs learn very quickly to ride in them. This is safe for the dogs and eliminates a distraction for the driver so everyone is safe. My dogs love being able to look out the windows and are very comfortable. The covers come off for washing. If you want a happy dog that loves to ride this is the way to go. I have had my single car lookout for 5 years and it has held up excellently.

Read: Glen Sather's 10th Anniversary NY Post Edition
Yesterday was the 10th Anniversary of the Rangers hiring Glen Sather as President and GM. To honor the occaision I combed through the NY Times archives for stories and Sather and his road to be Rangers GM.
Today, as we continue to "honor" and look back at Slats, its the NY Post and Larry Brook's turn to tell the story of Sather coming to the Rangers.
….Why, because its interesting to see how different media, only blocks apart in NYC, approach and write about a story like this. Plus its the off-season and its Brooks so he should have more stories and nuggets through his old articles than the Times did. Brooks offers more perspective and analysis than the straightforward approach of the Times.
March 29th, 2000: Neil Smith and John Muckler are fired. Brooks mentions Sather as a candidate to replace Smith along with, Lou Lamoriello, who was in the last year of his contract, former coach Colin Campbell and Scotty Bowman, whom Brooks says, "has always been interested in working on Broadway." Brooks also writes about the possibility of hiring Campbell to be GM and re-hiring Mike Keenan to coach.
…I can tell I will have a good time going back and reading these articles. Hope you enjoy it all too, AFTER THE JUMP
March 30th, Brooks says that Lamoriello is the top choice for the Rangers, but if he is going to stop working for George Steinbrenner, about to buy the Devils, why would he work for James Dolan. He also rules out Wayne Gretzky who says, "maybe down the line." Brooks doesn't think Sather is a real option and instead will stay in Edmonton. John Davidson would need to take a pay cut, and loves broadcasting.Brooks thinks that Anders Hedberg should get a good look as GM
April 2nd, Brooks writes about Sather's long standing distaste for the New York lifestyle. He doesn't believe Sather will come and believe that Dolan already knows if Lamoriello will.
April 30th, Sather is the front runner and not only does that make Dave Checketts happy, but also commissioner Gary Bettman. However, Sather still doesn't seem interested according to Brooks and that if he doesn't come, the Rangers will shift towards Detroit GM Kenny Holland.
…In hindsight, this is a no brainer. Go after Holland and let Sather be. But at the time, Sather still had a decent reputation and the Garden, which has nearly always had basketball people in charge, went with Sather and his five cups. Maybe if they bring Holland in, Brendan Shanahan comes earlier and becomes a great Ranger.
In the same article Brooks says that the Isles should hire Mike Keenan.
May 8th, Brooks cites an impeccable source saying that Washington GM George McPhee wants the Rangers vacant GM job. McPhee had a contract extension in front of him from Washington but had yet to sign it.
May 12th, Brooks says that the Rangers are searching for not only a general manager but a "strong" president to work between the team and Checketts. He mentions Scotty Bowman and Cliff Fletcher as candidates for the President role and then a younger mind like Holland or McPhee for GM.
May 16th, Brooks throws his support behind a Montreal Canadiens re-union of Bob Gainey as GM and Larry Robinson as coach.
…I wanted Larry Robinson badly to coach the Rangers. He just seemed like a coach who couldn't lose.
May 18th, Sather is reportedly excited at the idea of rebuilding the Rangers and has met with the team.
May 19th, Edmonton is considering filing tampering charges against the Rangers.
May 21st, Brooks says that Bettman and Wayne Gretzky recommended Sather to James Dolan. Rumors of Sather and Phoenix are just that, rumors. Sathers deal is rumored to be for three years, at which point Brooks expects him to leave and meet up with Wayne Gretzky on the west coast somewhere. Kevin Lowe is mentioned as a coach but GM in waiting that Sather will bring along and let take the reins when he moves on.
May 25th, Sather has no bones about taking Lowe with him wherever he goes, but says he won't leverage one offer with another from another team.
May 27th, Sather claims that he hasn't signed anything and Brooks says that he rejected the Rangers first offer. There appears to be a difference of $5 million in terms of total salary offered to Sather.
June 1st, Sather is to be announced as General Manager with a supposed three year deal worth $12 million. Lou Lamoriello told James Dolan days after Neil Smith was fired that he wouldn't be interested. Kevin Lowe is still conflicted as to where he wants to be next season.
June 2nd, Sather has a tough task in New York. This article has an awesome list of some classic Sather trades from his Edmonton days.
June 2nd, Jay Greenberg questions the hiring and says that Sather has a tough hand to play. He also calls Pavel Brendl overhyped.
June 4th, Joe Sakic may hit the trade market and the Rangers, only three years removed from offering him the team, could be interested.
…Do it Glen. Do It Glen. Its Joe Sakic. This team is going nowhere, you need someone to build around.
From the same article there is this, which is classic:
If Hartley does not survive, assistant Bryan Trottier is the logical successor to the throne.
But don't be at all surprised to find Trottier coaching Wayne Gretzky's Coyotes, instead.
If only he weren't an Islander, the Rangers could sure do worse that Trottier; much, much worse.
…O Larry, if only you could see the future.
June 6th, then Oilers GM Sather nearly traded center Jason Arnott to the Rangers for Alexei Kovalev in 1998.
June 8th, Sather says that the team won't buy out Theo Fleury or Valeri Kamensky
June 9th, Kevin Lowe is set to decide his future. His wife prefers Edmonton. John Paddock and Keith Aucoin are potential coaches for the Rangers.
June 13th, Sather left Kamensky and John Maclean un-protected for the waiver draft.
June 14th, Sather doesn't rule out coaching the Rangers himself during his tenure. Lowe has decided to stay with Edmonton. He has spoken to John Paddock, has not to Jacques Lemaire and hasn't asked for permission to speak with Trottier.
June 21st, Walt Kyle is reported to be a top choice for the Rangers position. Ron Low interviewed but was not expected to get the job.
June 26th, Brooks says that the Rangers and Sather have interest in bringing in Eric Lindros. Brooks doesn't understand why.
June 28th, the Rangers are very interested in Lindros and if he is cleared will make a run.
…Seems to indicate how the next off-season will go.
July 1st, Mathieu Schneider wants to return to the Rangers.
July 1st, Messier's return is called a lock.
July 5th, Sather has spoken to Mike Keenan, Ron Low, Wayne Cashmman and some guy named Tom Renney. He is planning to talk about with Keenan.
July 6th, Sather continues to say that he has not offered the job to anyone yet speculation is that Ron Low is the choice. Sather did say he would continue to speak with Keenan and has interest in free agents Claude Lemieux and Vladimir Malakhov.
July 7th, Brooks speculates that Keenan could be the choice for head coach based on Sather saying the Rangers job is different and the coach needs relationships with the players.
July 8th, Messier's eventual and expected signing could possibly bring Claude Lemieux into the fold as well.
July 9th, Brooks writes and speaks to Keenan about his exit in 1994 and says that if he becomes coach of the Rangers again, he should be embraced. Also, the Rangers moved their game start time to 7PM.
…I remember that and still think its one of the best decisions they have made. Its a great thing.
July 10th, Messier is going to sign a two year deal worth $8 million.
July 11th, Brooks writes that signing Malakhov to the contract that he did, Sather is just continuing in the Neil Smith pattern.
July 12th, Sather admits that he will hire Ron Low to be coach. John Paddock, once looked at as the front runner, was told by Sather he wanted to hire someone that he had a relationship with.
July 16th, further reports on Sakic being traded and the Rangers interest in him.
July 26th, Rod Gilbert says that the Rangers are back on the right track.
…Well that was the NY Post look at Slats road to the Rangers and then his first month. Certainly a lot more names and speculation, but that is what makes this fun in hindsight. Imagine the team hiring Cliff Fletcher as President, Colin Campbell as GM and Keenan back as coach, along with a crazy trade for Sakic. This is why the Internet is great, you can go back, look at all this stuff and dream. New York Daily News, get on your game and create an easy to use archive like the Post and Times.

|Car, Bodies Found in Search for Missing Teens
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 29 October 2012 06:59
The discovery of a bumper along Interstate 20 in eastern South Carolina has lead to the discovery of the submerged car that two Catawba County teens were traveling in—and to their bodies. The search for the missing Sherrills Ford teens ended late Sunday afternoon when the car
in they left in was found submerged in the Wateree River. Joe Pierce, father of Ray Pierce, told the Hickory Daily Record that Jake Ziegler, 18 and Ray Pierce, 17 were found dead in the car. The S.C. Highway Patrol is investigating what appears to be a traffic collision, according to Troop 1 of the SC SHP, Brent Kelly, public information officer, said the multidisciplinary accident team is working the investigation. Searchers found the bumper with the tag of the car about 4:30 Sunday afternoon in the median of the interstate, leading to the discovery of the car in the water nearby. It was recovered at about 8 last night. The search for the pair was in its 16th day on Sunday.

Freshman sitcom The Neighbors and sophomore drama Scandal have both been given full season orders by ABC. Originally, both shows had 13 episode orders for this season, which is typical for a freshman show, but unusual for a sophomore show.
Both shows are currently predicted as "toss up" for renewal or cancellation by the Renew / Cancel Index and have attracted some notice from the cancellation bear, but he's patient, and can wait until May if they're ultimately heading for his dinner table.
To try and get in front of the comments, no news on Last Resort or 666 Park Avenue. Why should there be? They're doomed.
And Nashville has only aired three episodes (and is doing OK), any full season news will likely come before Thanksgiving.

About Me Senior
My sister and I always love to play Yahtzee, but they are hard to find in the stores they don't make the hand held ones and when we did find one they were very expensive, they just don't make things like the used to. That is why when I saw the product in your book I wanted it but when I got it it was way to small, I was very disappointed. I did not like the price either, but my sister wanted one.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Tampa police are investigating on Friday after a family of four was hospitalized from eating meat contaminated with LSD.
Tampa police say the family of four ate the tainted meat and became ill Monday. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office reported Friday that the meat had been contaminated with the hallucinogenic drug.
Authorities say the woman was 9 months pregnant when she became ill. Doctors induced labor, and she had a healthy baby boy.The family was eventually released from the hospital in good condition.
Police say the bottom round steak was purchased from a Walmart located at 1501 N. Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa. The store has turned over all its meat to police for testing.
Local police, along with county health officials and state and federal agriculture officials, are investigating how the drug got into the meat.

There are numerous examples of sessile animals (sponges, barnacles etc.) but are there any examples of motile plants? If not, why not? Surely mobility would have conferred an evolutionary advantage to some plant species. I am specifically thinking of locomotion here.
It depends how you define locomotion.
If you take it to mean moving from one place to another, then yes, almost all plants do this at some stage during their life cycle. Primarily seeds and pollen move around, and generally they do so by harnessing either natural forces like wind and rain, or by manipulating animals to do the leg-work, e.g.:
If you take it to mean moving around under ones own propulsion, then yes, some plants do this. The example that springs to mind is the gametophyte generation of ferns:
The prothallus (i.e. the gametophyte) has rhizoids on the underside and uses them to slide around and find some space in which to start the next generation. I have seen this happen when fern spores are germinated on agar - when they reach the tiny prothallus stage, they start sliding around to avoid overlapping with one another. I can't find any references for this, but I'll keep looking.
Another example of self-directed locomotion in plants is the motile sperm of bryophytes. The male sex cells have flagella, which they use to propel themselves through water to the female sex cells (reviewed by Renzaglia & Garbary 2001).
Many plants crawl by sending out ground vines and replant themselves in neighboring positions. But that's not what you are asking I think.
I don't know if there are any land dwelling leaf bearing plant forms that move.
In the water most chlorophyll bearing algae have flagellae and can migrate through the water.

According to writers Thomas Heath and Marjorie Censer at the Washington Post, The Carlyle Group and its errant child, Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH), have a public relations problem, thanks to NSA leaker and former BAH employee Edward Snowden. By the time top management at BAH learned that one of their top level agents had gone rogue, and terminated his employment, it was too late.
For years Carlyle had, according to the Post, "nurtured a reputation as a financially sophisticated asset manager that buys and sells everything from railroads to oil refineries"; but now the light from the Snowden revelations has revealed nothing more than two companies, parent and child, "bound by the thread of turning government secrets into profits."
And have they ever. When The Carlyle Group bought BAH back in 2008, it was totally dependent upon government contracts in the fields of information technology (IT) and systems engineering for its bread and butter. But there wasn't much butter: After two years the company's gross revenues were $5.1 billion but net profits were a minuscule $25 million, close to a rounding error on the company's financial statement. In 2012, however, BAH grossed $5.8 billion and showed earnings of $219 million, nearly a nine-fold increase in net revenues and a nice gain in value for Carlyle.
Unwittingly, the Post authors exposed the real reason for the jump in profitability: close ties and interconnected relationships between top people at Carlyle and BAH, and the agencies with which they are working. The authors quoted George Price, an equity analyst at BB&T Capital: "[Booz Allen has] got a great brand, they've focused over time on hiring top people, including bringing on people who have a lot of senior government experience." (Emphasis added.)

The first Twilight hit theaters in 2008, a gentler time when fans of supernatural romance had less to choose from when it came to fanged and clawed eye candy. But nowadays, most people know what a "Sookie" is (not to mention were-panther sex). Even crap like Teen Wolf and Beauty & the Beast gets the reboot treatment. A little sparkle just doesn't cut it in 2012. And maybe that's why the last installment in this eternal love story feels so halfhearted and painfully plodding, like a Lifetime movie remake of itself. All Breaking Dawn Part 2 does is confirm that Edward and his family (newly undead bride Bella included) are one boring bunch of bloodsuckers. This time, the brood's newest member—Edward and Bella's vamp-human baby, Renesmee—is threatened by the evil masters of the undead, the Volturi. A handful of delicious moments come, as usual, from Michael Sheen, who plays villainous Volturi head Aro as a tittering, red-eyed mouse from crazy town with a Napoleon complex. As in past Twi-movies, he seems to be the only member of the cast not taking the convoluted plot or wooden dialogue at all seriously and therefore is awesome. Similar to Breaking Dawn Part 1, which was saved by an amazing vampire C-section scene, Part 2 is somewhat redeemed by a surprisingly clever and bloody third act that seems to gleefully incinerate whole chunks of writer Stephenie Meyer's original plotline. Purists will be incensed (briefly) while the rest of us bored stiffs warm to the sight of multiple decapitations and an honest-to-goodness river of lava. But don't worry—in the end there are eventually kisses. And love. Endless love. Put a stake in it already, will ya?

Fractions on a Number Line Lesson Ideas: The Pearl Diver Game
In these number line lesson ideas which are adaptable for grades 3-8, students play an online math game to practice identifying, comparing, and ordering fractions on a number line.
Lesson Plan Common Core State Standards Alignments
Students will:
- Develop understandings of numbers, ways of representing numbers, and number systems.
- Understand and represent commonly used fractions.
- Apply understandings of fractions as part of unit wholes and as locations on number lines.
- Compare and order fractions on a number line.
- Computers with internet access for BrainPOP
Preparation:This lesson plan uses a free online math game by NMSU called Pearl Diver. The game starts out with simple numbers but quickly introduces more complex concepts, including negative numbers, fractions, and decimals. In between rounds, students will take a break from diving and practice estimating skills as they prepare to slice some electric eel sushi. Pearl Diver teaches number properties, plotting numbers, visualizing quantity on the number line, ordering numbers, and using the number line as a visual model for mathematical operations.
To play, students must dive at the indicated spot on the number line, which will allow them to discover a pearl. Use the mouse to move left and right. Click to dive, then click repeatedly to open the shell. At each level, you must collect four pearls before time runs out. If you collide with the electric eel, you lose one of your divers. In the sushi bonus round, slice the eel as accurately as you can, according to the directions.
You can find additional lesson resources (including bonus activities) on the Math Snacks website.
Lesson Procedure:
- Here are some ideas for incorporating the Pearl Diver Game into your class' instruction:
- Play the game as a whole class. Begin by playing the game yourself and using think-alouds to model mathematical practices. Then have student volunteers model various strategies and explain their thinking aloud, as well.
- Play the game as part of your small group math instruction. You can differentiate for students' needs by selecting the appropriate level of game play for each group. Students can take turns coming up to the interactive whiteboard or computer and explain the move they think is correct. Ask other group members to use a hand signal to indicate whether or not they agree. Allow students to explore the game in pairs. Encourage students to problem solve together and take turns.
- Provide time in class for students to play the game independently. Challenge students to advance through as many levels as possible in the allotted time. This is a great strategy to use after students have already had time to learn the basics of the game through group or partner play.
- Encourage students to play the game at home. All of BrainPOP's GameUp resources can be access by students on any computer with internet access, with no login required. Students can also download the free Pearl Diver app and play on their mobile devices. You can offer extra credit to any student who completes the entire game and submits a screenshot to you.

While a rolling release does have many things I like, since there has been no official word Mark Shuttleworth or anyone from Canonical I was somewhat hesitant to believe in it.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editors note: This is the second of two articles concerning salt control in the Colorado River Basin.
The Colorado River Basin is a big and complicated place, even without geological features that complicate habitation.
It encompasses 246,000 square miles over seven states.
Water for 31 million people comes from the basin drainage, and the impact of that water is felt across the world due to the food and industry that water gives life blood to.
More than four million acres of that land is irrigated.
Before man began irrigating in places like Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico, the water that flowed down stream toward Arizona, Nevada and California had a naturally occurring salt content of between 300 and 400 parts per million. But with man's settlement in the upper basin that changed. The water doubled in salinity, causing problems for those down stream in terms of crop choice and survival, industrial corrosion and damage to home plumbing systems.
The dividing point between the upper and lower Colorado Basin is considered Lee's Ferry and each year nine million tons of salt is transported past that point. Over half (53 percent) is caused by human activities in the upper basin.
The salt in the soil can be heavy in many places, thus when over watered the salt is taken from the soil and eventually makes its way to the Colorado River. Some places have three or four pounds per acre; the Price area has a heavy concentration at five pounds. For those in the upper basin that salt is often invisible. When they irrigate they don't see the salt pass from the soil into the ground water and on down the line. For those below it is devastating. Higher salt content in water produces lower crop yields, limits what crops can be grown and all crops that are raised on such water need more of it. Not a good set of circumstances in the water starved west.
"It is not only a problem from a crop point of view, but there is damage to industry infrastructure and to residential buildings as well," said Kib Jacobson of the Bureau of Reclamation. "Municipalities must pay more to treat their water too."
In the last 30 many government agencies have been working on how to stop and reverse the trend of saltier and saltier water flowing down the basin. Because the majority of that salt comes from irrigation, organizations such as the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) (which replaced the old Soil Conservation Service), the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Utah Division of Agriculture and Foods (UDAF) have been working to improved the salt levels. Because so much of it was caused by irrigation, that is where the biggest push has been.
Since the early 1990s Carbon County water entities have been involved in federal projects to get excess water from irrigation out of the mode of taking salt downriver. Many canals and laterals have been piped and a large group of agricultural and residential irrigation water users have begun using sprinkling systems and drip irrigation as opposed to flood irrigation. This has proved to be successful in areas in which it has been used.
A lot of the the work on this area has been done by the NRCS. The environmental incentives program they have worked on has included technical assistance to improve irrigation efficiency and financial support for agriculture to improve their irrigation systems and practices. That is where many of the sprinkling systems that run during the growing season have come from. However, there is a cost share between the government and the farmers with most getting a 75 percent reimbursement for installing the systems. But the level of compensation can also be higher under certain circumstances.
The funding for projects are based on a cost analysis and available money to do projects. Usually projects not only include the water entity (canal company, water district, etc.) but also include the individual users. Lined or piped canals can stop some of the problem, but it takes the users getting on board to cut salinity problems across the board.
Overall there have been or are 18 projects going on in the Price/San Rafael area. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 also affected funding. The Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company was granted $2,902,538 to do a project this past year. Others getting money from that act included water entities in Daggett, Duchesne and Uintah counties, as well as in Wyoming and Colorado.
The Bureau of Land Management has also worked on public lands to reduce salt going into the rivers. New processes in rangeland management (grazing and other uses) and point source control have been important. In some places around the upper basin natural springs that bring salty water to the top of the ground and into streams is a problem. But even more than that, over the years many exploratory wells have been drilled for various reasons and many of those have brought salty water up from underground formations. The BLM has been plugging many of those.
Travis James, of the Colorado Salinity Board says that the program has "accomplished 65 percent" of the goals set originally for desalting the basin's down flow. As of 2008 the programs have controlled various amounts of salt. The BOR programs have eliminated 600,000 tons, the NRCS programs 460,000 tons and the BLM 100,000 tons. The target is to control 1,900,000 tons per year by 2025.

Building a media center is a killer way to watch or stream your favorite movies and TV shows, but if you miss being able to watch live TV—and record it so you can watch it later—you can turn your XBMC box into a personal video recorder (PVR) with just a bit of setup. Here's what you need to do.
XBMC 12 Frodo finally brought official PVR support to our favorite media center software, and it integrates very nicely. It still takes a bit of setup to get running though, so we're here to detail all the steps involved for your XBMC media center. If you don't have one yet, check out our guide to building one and setting everything up before continuing.
The Advantages (and Disadvantages) of Turning Your Media Center into a PVR
First things first: putting together a DIY PVR can be useful, but it won't be quite the same as having a TiVo or other commercial DVR in your house.
The main advantage of adding PVR functionality to your media center is that you can then do anything you want with your recordings. You can add them to your regular XBMC library, put them on your phone or tablet for watching later, or do anything else you so desire. It can also much cheaper than buying a separate DVR, depending on what you're recording (cable users will probably have to spend more). You can also customize your list of channels, which is nice, so you don't have to see channels you don't like if you don't want to.
The disadvantage to setting up a PVR this way is that it just doesn't work as well as a dedicated product. There are a lot of different TV tuners and PVR applications out there, but your experience won't be quite as smooth and seamless as it would be on a dedicated product. For example, on our main test machine, things worked fairly well, but changing channels is noticeably slower than on a regular TV, picture quality can vary a lot (depending on your device and the codecs you use), and you may even experience the occasional freeze or crash. PVR support in XBMC is still very young, so this will definitely improve over time, but it's unlikely you're going to get the same experience you do on a device made for PVR.
Overall, I'd say my experience has definitely been a positive one though. I bought a very cheap TV tuner and have been able to watch and record TV right from my home theater PC for much less than any other device, which is pretty awesome, and being able to have everything available from the XBMC interface is pretty great. The more you experiment with different programs and setups, though, the better experience you're going to get, so let's get started.
Step One: Install a TV Tuner Card
In order to get live TV on your home theater PC, you'll need to install a TV tuner card. We've talked about this before, so we won't go into a ton of detail here, but do a little shopping and then poke around the forums for the different PVR apps to see which ones will work best for your needs. In our box, we're using the simple and cheap Hauppauge HVR-1250. It isn't the most feature-filled around, but it works well for watching and recording simple over-the-air signals (though it can only do one at a time). Once you've bought your TV tuner, install it into your computer and be sure to download the latest drivers before you continue.
Step Two: Install Your PVR Backend
You'll need two different pieces of software to run your PVR: a backend and a frontend. In this case, our frontend—the program from which we watch live TV and control our recordings—is going to be XBMC via an add-on. The backend is the program that actually interfaces with your TV tuner, decodes the signal, and does the recording. Some backends come with their own frontends built-in, but allow you to use another frontend instead, like XBMC. You have a lot of choices depending on your operating system, but here are the instructions for two of the easier backends around.
Windows Users: NextPVR
For Windows, we recommend NextPVR because it's easy to setup, and comes highly recommended. Here's what you need to do:
- Download and install NextPVR. You'll also want to download the latest patch files from here to ensure everything runs smoothly—just drag the files into your NextPVR program files folder.
- Start up NextPVR. Right-click anywhere in the window to access its settings.
- In the left-hand sidebar, click on Devices, then select the one you want to use (for example, your ATSC tuner if you're using an antenna, or your QAM tuner if you're using cable). Click the Configure button.
- Click Scan and wait for it to find all your channels. When it's done, it'll say "Scan Complete" and you should have a full list of available channels.
- Go to "Recording" in the left sidebar and set the folder where you want recordings to be stored. You can also tweak other settings here. We recommend checking the "Background Recording" box as well.
- Go to Misc in the sidebar and set your Live TV buffer folder.
That should be everything you need to get started. Head to "Live TV" to try watching TV. If you don't get any picture or sound, you likely need to use a different decoder to get things working well.
To change your decoder, open up NextPVR's settings and go to "Decoders." The decoders you want to worry about will depend on your device. For example, my HVR-1250 uses MPEG-2 and AAC to stream and record TV, so the MPEG-2 and AAC codecs are the ones I needed to change. You may find other codecs in the respective dropdown menus on this settings pane, but if you don't (or if none of the available ones work well), you'll need to download a new one and try it out.
This is the more arduous part of the process. Different codecs are going to work well for different people, so you'll have to experiment. A good place to start would be the SAF codec pack for NextPVR, though you can install and try other codecs too (check the NextPVR forums for suggestions based on your equipment). Keep trying different codecs until you find one that gets you the picture quality, smoothness, and sound that you want, and then continue to step three.
Linux Users: Tvheadend
Tvheadend is a simple backend for Linux that is very easy to install, and can be managed from a web interface—which means you can manage your recordings from any computer in the house, without even entering XBMC. Here's how to install it on an Ubuntu-based system:
- Run the following three commands, one after the other, to install Tvheadend:
sudo add-apt-repostory ppa:adamsutton/tvheadend
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tvheadend
- As Tvheadend installs, it will prompt you to create a username and password for its web interface (which you'll use to manage the program). Create one as instructed and continue the installation.
- When it's done, open up your browser and head to
http://localhost:9981. Alternatively, you can access it from another computer by heading to
192.168.0.11is the IP address of the machine on which Tvheadend is installed). Enter your username and password when prompted.
- You should be greeted with the Tvheadend web interface. First, click the Configuration tab, then click the TV Adapters tab under that. From the dropdown menu on the left, pick your TV tuner.
- Click the "Add DVB Network by Location" button. Choose your location and the type of signal you're looking for. For example, if you're hooked up to an over-the-air antenna, you would choose the ATSC option, and if you have cable, try the Cable Standard option.
- Click the "Add DVB Network" button on the left to continue. Now, look to the box on the right. At the bottom, you should see a line that says "Muxes Awaiting Initial Scan." This will slowly drop to 0 as it scans channels. When it finds channels, the number under "Services" will increase.
- When "Muxes Awaiting Initial Scan" reaches 0, you should have a number of Services scanned and ready to go (if not, try a different signal type or make sure your tuner is working). Click "Map DVB Services to Channels" to finish the channel scanning process.
Tvheadend doesn't have its own frontend for watching TV like many backends do, so to test if your setup worked, you'll have to continue to step 3 and try it out in XBMC.
All Users: Experiment
We've picked these two options because they make good choices for beginners due to their easy setup. However, every backend program is different, and there's very little consensus over which is "best" or even the most stable (just search for any two backends on the XBMC forums and you'll find much debate). So, if you don't like the first one you try, download another one and see if it works better for you. It's a long process of trial and error, but the more you experiment, the more likely you are to find something that works for you.
Step Three: Set Up XBMC's PVR Add-On
Once you've ensured your backend is running correctly, it's time to integrate it with XBMC. This step is pretty easy. Make sure you're running the latest version of XBMC (known as 12, or "Frodo"), and then:
- Open up XBMC and head to Settings > Add-Ons > Disabled Add-Ons. Head to PVR Clients, and select the one for your program (in this case, either NextPVR or Tvheadend). Choose Enable.
- Next, go to Configure. Most of the default settings should work fine here, but if your backend has a username or password, type those in now. If your backend supports Timeshifting (rewinding or pausing live TV), enable it under the "Advanced" tab.
- Go back to XBMC's Settings and choose Live TV. Under General, check the Enabled box, and tweak any other settings you want here. I generally like to go to Playback and uncheck Start Playback Minimized.
- If you go back to the main menu, you should see a new section called "Live TV" where you can watch shows, see an episode guide, and set up recordings. Congratulations! You've got XBMC working as a PVR.
You may still have to do some experimentation here to find out the settings that work best for your specific hardware and software, but for the most part, you should be good to go. Try watching or recording a show from XBMC, tweak your episode list from the Live TV settings, and enjoy.
Going Further
This is a pretty basic setup, but you can do a lot more with your PVR once you get it set up, such as:
Find a Better Programming Guide: The electronic programming guide (or EPG for short) you start with is probably pretty lacking at this stage. The best way to improve it is by setting up an EPG grabber, which will download a high quality episode guide and save it as an XMLTV file to which you can point your backend. Schedules Direct comes very highly recommended, and is only $25 a year (well worth the price), but what you use will depend on your country. Check out NextPVR's EPG section in the wiki for more info, and if you're using Tvheadend, poke around the forums for more information on how to set up an episode guide.
Skip and Remove Commercials: You may also want to download a program like Comskip that automatically finds and skips commercials for you. Check out this page on the NextPVR wiki or this page on Tvheadend's wiki for more information on how to set that up. You can even set it up to remove commercials from your video files altogether.
Again, this is just the beginning. There are a lot of cool things you can do with your DIY PVR, so once you're all set up, check out the XBMC forums (as well as the forums for your respective backend) for more ideas and support. But for now, kick back with a cold one and enjoy some live TV. You've earned it.

We had to read the "Sun Advocate to find who won the election for House District 69. And, while HD 60 represents all of Carbon County, parts of Emery and Grand, Duchesne County is also in the mix. In the recent redistricting, Duchesne County became the patchwork quilt, now being a part of three different house districts. We also became the new stepchild of Congressional District 1 and no longer a part of District 2.
Jerry Anderson was elected in HD 69, but would Christine Watkins have been a better choice, having served three terms for HD 69? We don't know, because we had no chance to review their issues and goals discussed in our local newspaper. With Congressional District 1, who would have better represented Duchesne County, Bishop, the current member of a fractured Congress, or McAleer, a business woman and veteran? Again, we don't know because we had no opportunity to compare the issues.
Duchesne County is a significant source of State revenues. But, are we known, appreciated or valued? Along the Wasatch Front, too often we have to explain that we are the "part of Utah that Wyoming sits on top of" to even begin to get a glimmer of understanding. And, since we aren't on the I-15 corridor, we are not recognized.
Our current representative, Kraig Powell, has taken the time to write and submit his "Keeping House" segments in our local paper, which gave us some ideas what was happening in our legislature. As residents of Duchesne County, part of the Uintah Basin and Eastern Utah, we must keep ourselves active and aware of legislative and political actions to insure our growth and safety with the representative choices we make.

|Watauga County Revenues Higher Than Expected
|Written by Christie James
|Monday, 26 March 2007 07:13
Watauga County's revenues for this fiscal year are turning out to be higher than expected. The Commissioners have learned that sales tax revenues could be $180,000 more than originally estimated.
Property taxes could be $1 million dollars higher. County Manager Rocky Nelson has attributed the gain to a healthy economy, increased collection efforts, higher than projected development and fewer appealed valuations. The commissioners may use some of the extra money for renovations to two area playgrounds, including the Tot Lot at the Recreation Center. The revenues may also be used to help with the Brookshire Soccer Complex.

Texas is proud of its peaches. They're soft, juicy, floral, and sweet, and the best I've ever tasted. During the season, when you travel through lush Hill Country Texas towns such as Fredericksburg, or Central Texas towns such as Fairfield, you won't be able to go a mile without seeing a roadside stand or pickup truck filled with baskets of this cherished summertime treat. We also have a peach tree at my grandma's North Texas farm, and every July it delivers a bounty of peaches that she'll put up for later in the year.
Pickling fruit is a common method of fruit preservation in Texas. Yes, there's vinegar involved, as with other types of pickles. But you also add enough sugar and warm spices to give the fruit a balance of both acidity and sweetness. If you've never tried pickled fruit, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Pickled peaches are perhaps my favorite fruit to preserve, as I love how the peaches' sweet juice combines with the piquant brine. Of course, I've added a bit of heat to my peaches, which is decidedly not traditional, but I find that the habanero's flowery notes go very well with the peaches' floral tones.
These go well with a bowl of ice cream, on top of your morning oatmeal, with a freshly baked biscuit, or yes, simply eaten straight out of the jar.
YIELD: 2 quarts
- 3 pounds fresh peaches
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 habanero chile, stem and seeds removed, cut in half
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
- 2 quart-size jars with lids and bands
1. Sterilize the jars and lids in either a pot of boiling water or dishwasher. Remove jars and lids with tongs and place on a clean surface.
2. To peel the peaches, fill a large pot with water and bring to boil. Cut a small x on the top and bottom axes of each peach. Carefully drop them into the pot of boiling water and let them cook for 30 seconds. Using tongs or a long spoon, remove peaches, rinse with cold water, and then peel off the skin by gently rubbing the peach. Halve and pit the peeled peaches and put them in the jars.
3. In another pot, bring to a boil the cider vinegar and the sugar. In each jar add half the habanero chile, a cinnamon stick, and 2 whole cloves. When the vinegar comes to a boil, pour it into the jars and add enough water to the jar to fill (though be sure and leave 1/4-inch headroom from the top). Cover and refrigerate. Will be ready in a couple of days. Will last refrigerated for 1 month.
Note: When you work with habanero chiles, it's advisable to wear gloves, as they're extremely hot. And please note that these pickles can pack some heatif you prefer less, don't use the entire half of the habanero in each jar.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
1) The critical role of the tumor suppressor, Menin, in epigenetic regulation of gene transcription, cell signaling, cell proliferation, and the underlying mechanisms; suppression of neuroendocrine/carcinoid tumors by targeting menin-regulated pathways
2) The interplay of Menin, MLL methyltransferase, and oncogenic MLL fusion proteins in promoting leukemogenesis
3) Reversal of diabetes by inhibiting menin
4) Signal transduction mediated by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß) and menin.
Key words: Menin, Men1, epigenetics, MLL, histone methyltransferase, leukemia, neuroendocrine tumors, diabetes, and TGF-ß signaling.
Description of Research
Our research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms whereby menin, a scaffold protein interacting with multiple epigenetic regulators, regulates endocrine cells, including pancreatic beta cells, endocrine tumors, and MLL fusion protein-induced leukemia. In particular, we are interested in dissecting the function of menin, which is mutated in hereditary human tumor syndrome, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN1), in repressing beta cells and endocrine tumors and in promoting leukemogenesis.
1. We seek to elucidate how menin suppresses endocrine cells, such as pancreatic beta cells, via regulating histone methylations and expression of pro-proliferative genes. We are also interested in identifying menin-regulated key pathways that can be suppressed to inhibit neuroendocrine tumors.
2. Determining how menin, which acts as a tumor promoter in MLL fusion protein-induced leukemia, cooperates with wild-type MLL protein to promote leukemia and how the menin and wt MLL axis can be suppressed to improve therapy for this aggressive leukemia.
3. Understanding how inhibition of menin leads to reversal of established diabetes in mouse models and determining whether the menin pathway could be explored to ameliorate diabetes.
4. Investigating the interplay between menin, post-transcriptional modifications of menin, and TGF-ß signaling in repressing pancreatic beta cells. As both menin and TGF-ß inhibit cell proliferation, we will test whether menin and TGF-ß cooperate to suppress beta cell proliferation and the underlying mechanisms, using biochemical studies and mouse models.
These comprehensive approaches will provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms for MEN1 tumorigenesis, regulation of beta cells, and leukemogenesis, shedding light on improving therapy against neuroendocrine tumors, leukemia, and diabetes.
Rotation Projects
1. To identify potentially functional post-translational modifications of menin
2. To investigate how Men1 excision de-represses multiple pro-proliferative genes and upregulates beta cell proliferation
3. To identify functional and epigenetic partners of menin that control leukemogenesis or neuroendocrine tumors.

(Dec 13, 2012)
During the first week of December 2012, the Supreme Court of Maldives ruled that police should investigate any criminal acts that occur during the exercise of people's rights to free assembly and expression. The Court's decision, a six-to-one ruling, was in a case brought in September 2012 by the Attorney General, seeking a determination that public disturbances, even in the course of political protest, are not protected expression under the Constitution. (Ahmed Naish, Supreme Court Criminalises Offences Within the Exercise of Freedom of Assembly, Expression, MINIVAN NEWS (Dec. 8, 2012).)
The Constitution of Maldives provides that "[e]veryone has the right to freedom of thought and the freedom to communicate opinions and expression in a manner that is not contrary to any tenet of Islam" (art. 27) and that "[e]veryone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly without prior permission of the State" (art. 30). (Dheena Hussain, trans., Functional Translation of the Constitution of the Republic of Maldives 2008, Republic of Maldives Department of Information website.)
The recent case referred to protests held outside private residences, causing disturbances late at night with defamatory language and calls for violent actions, including remarks urging attacks and killings. The protests were attributed to the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), formerly the ruling party but now in opposition. Camps of protesters from the party had been disrupted by security forces last spring. (Naish, supra.) The government argued that the protests had infringed on other constitutionally guaranteed rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and security of the person (art. 21); the right to privacy (art. 24); the right to protect one's good name (art. 33); and special protections for children, the elderly, and the disadvantaged (art. 35). (
The majority of the judges decided that any activity that violates "public safety, health, tranquility and morality" could be handled by the police as a criminal action. (
In comments made before the issuance of the decision, the Office of the President of Maldives stated that the government supports the right to protest, as long as the protest does not adversely affect others. "A protest should be about changing something. A protest conducted in residential areas has nothing to do with parliament. Public protest and public nuisance are two very different things," said a spokesman for that office. (
The MDP, on the other hand, denounced the decision, calling it part of what it considers to be the government effort to restrict freedom of assembly. A spokesman for the party stated, "[o]ne of the most fundamental clauses in the new constitution is the right to protest and we are witnessing democratic gains fast slipping." (
