Questions about purchasing bicycles and parts
Re: Magic Shine
10 days and my magicshines have arrived at the door! Report once I can play a bit!
Re: Magic Shine
+1. My 900 lumen MJ-818 doesn't quite make 2 hours on full output before it gives a "recharge" indication, and dies after a further 30 minutes. Doubt that the 1400 lumen ones are going to do even that. The 900 lumen light attracts complaints from passing riders, so the 1400 is only going to be worse on that score too.

Re: Magic Shine
Why ? The 900 version works fine. Why would you want to blind even more people with the side benefit of reduced battery life ?
Re: Magic Shine
For the price difference, you may as well go the newer 1200 or 1600 lights, which ca be dimmed if too bright for longer running time.
Also, its not about blinding people, its about seeing where I am going, and about motorists seeing me. My reflectors, rear lights and front ayups dont seem to be enough to get motorists to stop. Maybe if they think I am a motorcycle, they will assume I am riding at decent speed and will wait their turn.
Re: Magic Shine
I'd like to know how WATERPROOF it really is. Still I like my 1400 as it has the two minor lights on either side. The 1600 just looks like one big torch. I'd prefer side lights if I were to upgrade to the 1600.

Re: Magic Shine
Hey Rockateer, maybe you need one of these ....
10 W led
That'd make them take notice !!!
Mind you, the extension cord and 240V power source may be a slight limiting factor ......
Re: Magic Shine
They may think you are a motorcycle but it is common knowledge now that bicycle lights are super bright so that logic may not work. Also they don't always see motorcycles either. You need to assume you are invisible as motorcyclists should and do. I used to ride a motorbike.
Re: Magic Shine
I'd prefer a low profile too. If you ever flip a bike (it happens) there is a good chance you'll lose a high profile light. Having said that, it doesn't look big on the video.
Re: Magic Shine
G'day, I modified one of my Magicshine's for my commuter by removing the standard mount and fitting it to an old reflector mount bent into shape using the screw supplied with a dab of loctite. It has worked well for 8 months. I get no noticable vibration and it doesn't slip like the o-ring mounts would do.

Re: Magic Shine
There you go ...
Re: Magic Shine
Good setup @beano and it's given me ideas but I'll have to displace my front mudguard for it (I have an easy Zefal attachment).

Re: Magic Shine
Nice solution beano, except that it will flop about everywhere with the road vibration. I like the thought though.
Personally, when the new handlebars arrive (3T Ergonova's), I'll need to switch to something like the FSA Control Centre to get more space on the handle bars and get the beam out of the way of the cables
Re: Magic Shine
I got the 818 and 808E today and I gotta say, for yumcha they are definitely put together nicely. The feel is solid and professional. I'm not worried about the quality, I'd hope to get a lot of use out of them. Light wise, the rear light was Painfully Bright. Holy moly that thing is insane, I had it pointing at my face a bit when it turned on, it's not in the same league as the little LEDs you get from the bike shop. The front wasn't quite as bright as I was expecting, but the real test is on the road.
Batteries and cabling looked like it was designed to see some water, but I don't think I'd be exposing them to torrential rain without some additional support and thinking about minimising the exposure to water. Maybe a little roof wouldn't hurt? Fenders reducing rain from the bottom, roof over the top? Beano's light bracket could incorporate a roof easily. Couldn't be too hard to rig up something that wasn't embarrassingly homebrew. Or could it?
Either way, I'm hoping to give them a test run tomorrow night. There are a couple pitch black areas that I think would serve as a good testing ground. I'm not doing MTB work with these, so my review is only good for commuting.
Re: Magic Shine
There is a quick review on candlepowerforums that includes beam shots of the MJ-872 (4 x xpg) MJ-870 (3 x xpg) MJ-808 (P7) and MJ-808 (XML)
The claimed ingress protection rating is IPX4 - Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction for 5 minutes shall have no harmful effect. The weasel words are harmful effect - as long as the light still works after 5 minutes, it doesn't matter how much water gets in.
Still I would be looking at ensuring it is as waterproof as possible - grease the o-rings & threads,
It seems they have gone back to the old design battery pack, so I would be looking to protect the battery from water too, either use an extension cable & put it under the seat, or even better in a waterproof box.
In relation to the rear light, how bright is it from an angle - ie does it improve your visibility from say 45º? One of the difficulties with the 1/2 watt lights is they have a very narrow viewing angle.

Re: Magic Shine
The review is a good one. I imagine that anyone looking to buy one of the more powerful lights knows how much they need (guys doing singletrack MTB stuff at night). It's pretty clear the 1200 and 1600 lumens are much brighter. Are they better than Dinottes or Ayups? Who knows. But you can buy two Magicshines, get more light, and still be less poor
Regarding the water protection, I think a bit of plastic bottle (600ml coke bottle) carefully cut would do a good enough job of slowing the devastation of the internals. IP4 is not enough to be called waterproof, but I think to the situations I ride in, you just don't expose a bike light to that much water. If it's really pounding down, you wouldn't ride. I have trouble seeing cars and lines driving in the really hard rain, I can't see biking being a better result I'll be putting both batteries into drybags. Will look at maybe putting a heatshrink type wrap around the battery connection in the opposite direction to improve water resistance. No point having a great seal but run water down the cable into the back of the connector LOL
Directional nature of the light, IMO it throws a very similar beam to the 1600 lumen. It's designed to throw multidirectional. It hurts to bounce the light off your hand into your eyes. I sneak up to the beam from behind. I don't lack confidence in the light at all. It won't save you from a SMIDSY if they can't see a front light or this light... but you could have been a cop car in pursuit and you'd get hit by those guys.
Re: Magic Shine
(my bold)
I tried a thinner metal mount as my first attempt and yes that one bounced everywhere. If this one does vibrate I can't tell (although I haven't watched the beam coming towards me on a corrugated road).
I was pretty pleased with the result, especially as it cost me nothing apart from 30 minutes of being an amateur blacksmith. Would like to eventually make it look a little neater (a coat of black enamel and colour matched cable ties for example).
Centre of the beam sits about 10-15m in front. The low angle gives good definition to undulations in the road surface, better than when mounted off the bars (IMO).
I tried a Minoura space grip previously, a little similar in concept to the FSA CC. Thought it looked a little unwieldy and clunky but the FSA job looks a lot neater.
Thanks commurider, Yeah having the free brake mount and having made the decision to have permanent guards (SKS Thermoplastics) meant the bike was almost begging for something to be mounted there. Would love to eventually have a hub dyno, but unfortunately that sort of setup would be worth more than the entire bike.
Re: Magic Shine
Snap !!
Didn't see much for a few minutes ...
Re: Magic Shine
I've modified my ayup mount to hold a magicshine, works quite well and no movement. If anyone wants a pic let me know...
Magic Shine
That'd be awesome... Ay up mounts are cheap and allows easy transfer of the lights from bike to bike...
Re: Magic Shine
The Minoura space PITA is just that.
I'll try and post a pic when I get the bars on and the FSA doohickey installed
Re: Magic Shine
I'd like to see the Ayup mount modified if it isn't too much trouble. Are people buying their magicshine lights from Dealextreme or somewhere else?
Re: Magic Shine
Two commutes both later morning and then in the dark coming home around 6pm this week. I did a review but for some reason the work computer HATES cookies from this site.
Anyways, the mount is plenty secure, I do have road bike handlebars 31.8mm and this might help contact, I also don't think the seatpost is going to cause issues for the rear light. It DOES vibrate pretty hard if you're going over a lot of bumps, but I get the feeling the only way to avoid vibration is to firmly screw it into the bike chassis. Even then, my hands feel the bumps like crazy so right now I think physics is the problem, not the O-ring mounting. I think it would vibrate even if I drilled the handlebars and seatpost.
It's really quite bright. Not as bright as it could be, and the beam could be focussed better (it's no Schmidt eDelux) but honestly I don't think its too much of a problem. The strobe options for the rear are nice, the strobe is quite intense from the front light. The dark path across Toongabbie creek is as bright as day, and has the upside of letting the path users know I am coming as well.
Road experience from cars etc has been interesting. There is definitely more respect for my space as a general rule. Silly woman passed me coming up to a light with around 30cm clearance from my leg, this was a bit of an eye opener. I am not sure if the lights encouraged this behaviour or not - I've noticed that while cars overtake with around 1.5-2m clearance, instead of 1m before, they are coming past MUCH harder than before. They were doing maybe 1500-2000rpm, now its 2500-4000rpm. There is significantly more confidence and intensity in the drivers' passing. I think my lights are so much brighter and this gives the driver a better idea of where I am so they can go harder with little fear of hitting me. I've also attached my old LEDs to face the rear of my helmet and strobe them... I'm genuinely concerned that I'm angering drivers with my light show LOL
I'm finding the battery packs fit quite well on the bike. I intend on putting batteries in drybags so the weather won't attack them, but the supplied velcro bag isn't too bad.
I think I'm going to be adjusting to these babies for a while. It's a different experience in traffic, and I'm not sure its all positive. I am more concerned about overtaking at speed than I am with closeness, within reason. I need my mirror going again!
Re: Magic Shine
The reason they could be passing faster is that they are trying to get past the blinding/irritating lights as fast as possible. Just a thought.
Re: Magic Shine
Yep, that's also definitely a hypothesis I'm willing to consider. Thinking of getting my wife to drive behind me over a couple hills for a decent real world test. Still, it's easier to make things darker, impossible to make things brighter if they need to be.

How to make a Saint Andrew's Cross
Compared to commercially made crosses, this cross is:
- More compact
- Faster to assemble
- Faster to disassemble
- More comfortable
- Stronger
- Far cheaper
Imagine the thrill of having your very own freestanding St. Andrew's Cross! The St. Andrew's Cross plans let you build a cross that's cheap, easy and quick to build. It's a portable St. Andrew's cross, too, so you can easily store it in a small closet.
The St. Andrew's Cross is safe, solid and very stable. In fact, it is almost untippable. The cross is very adjustable; both the width of the X and the recline angle are easily adjustable.
The footrests on the Saint Andrew's Cross eliminate the need for submissives to twist their ankles. Thus, they can comfortably stand with their legs spread significantly further apart, increasing the sensation of vulnerability and helplessness.
Unlike most BDSM St. Andrew's Crosses, this one folds down to a very manageable size. Setup takes about 178 seconds; tear down, 119 seconds.
As with all designs in The Better Built Bondage Book, safety was paramount. Though not apparent with a cursory glance, the cross is unusually safe; the book includes modifications to make the cross even safer.
If you've always wanted a BDSM X-frame for your own personal dungeon, this is the one to make!

While the plot is not that original, "Olympus Has Fallen" is well directed, violent and intense, and features an outstanding "bad ass" performance from Gerard Butler, which rivals his excellent work in "300."

Is there supposed to be a message here? If Antoine Fuqua had a point to make, I'm not sure what it was, as the movie is essentially Gerard Butler shooting and stabbing everyone he can (after about 100 people or so have been taken out by a non-stop barrage of bullets, bombs and other assorted carnage). Action fans might be happy - but it's pretty dark for my tastes in action. I much prefer the more "popcorn" action of White House Down myself.

Only for action lovers
Well, the usual stuff, north-korean terrorists attack the White House and take the President (Aaron Eckhart), the vice-president and other important person hostage. Only a single Secret Service agent, Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is still in there and tries to get the president -with some help of the army generals and Mr. Speaker (MORGAN FREEMAN)- out of there...
This is an over-the-top action movie, it really is. No thinking. No asking. No "Is that even possible?"
And I dislike them. In my opinion they are wasted time. All the time the same, shooting, fist-fighting, often using the f-word and ,especially in this movie, the patriotism of AMERICA! I, as non-american hat to see that.
The acting of this movie was good. Butler, Eckhart, Freeman that's a good cast. The script was O.K. ...

Olympus Has Fallen review
The film starts with a healthy relationship between Secret Service Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) and President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart). First Lady Margaret Asher (Ashley Judd) passes away from a freak accident. Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman), the Speaker of the House, will play a role once the White House is taken over by terrorists. Sounds like a great plot, however, unfortunately it is not worthy to be seen onscreen. As one of my fellow members mentioned, it just mimics Die Hard in certain aspects. This critic has observed it while watching the action-packed film. So many ludicrous and unrealistic moments filled with dark and oftentimes senseless violence. Fr a filmmaker such as Tarantino, most of his films needs it to tell the story or have good character build-up. For ...

Olympus Has Fallen
This film will certainly get your patriotic juices flowing, and it's for that reason that Olympus Has Fallen is without a doubt one of the more satisfying films of 2013. Its plot is preposterous and borderline unbelievable, but thanks to a really great cast, you believe (almost) every bit of it. Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, Angela Bassett, Ashley Judd, Dylan McDermott, they all give convincing performances and really give the film a lot of credibility. Credit also must go to director Antoine Fuqua who directs the heck out of this movie; his aggressive approach really ups the stakes and makes OHF a hell of a thrill ride. I was surprised by the action/violence in this, it certainly earns its R rating... villains get what you think they deserve and I just had a ...

B6 might also have a mild detoxifying effect.
In addition' Multi GYN contains several animal glands and herbal extracts. The herbs in this formula include damiana and dong quai; the latter may work to potentially alleviate certain symptoms in older women' such as mild hot flashes. Black cohosh root may also help address signs of inflammation or hormonal imbalance during the aging process' while wild yam might assist you in coping with some symptoms associated with menopause. Finally' the glandular tissues in Multi GYN may provide support for your own endocrine glands.
At the recommended dosage of one tablet daily' each 60-tablet bottle of Multi GYN by Seroyal should last for about two months.

Great Product at a Great Price
My Naturalpathic doctor recommended Multi Gyn by Seroyal to help with menopausal symptoms and as an augmentation to the hormone pills I'm taking. The recommended dose is 2 tablets a day. I have found them easy to take with no noticeable side effects.
I feel less anxious and I'm not having as many food cravings.
So far there is nothing I dislike about the tablets.

There is an article in this issue on how to beat belly fat. For women, the belly is a) a really hard place to lose fat from and b) a pretty dangerous place to have fat as far as your long term health in concerned. A diet with a lot of fiber/other nutrients will make you less likely to have fat around the middle than a diet of less healthy food but with fewer calories. The article recommends adding more grapefruit, melon, whole wheat bread, walnuts, and a glass of wine (surprisingly!) to your diet while avoiding foods like sugar substitutes, canned soup, and partially hydrated oil. Basically, eat more fiber!! We all need more fruits and vegetables in our lives. A good read on this topic is In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan.

Vanilla is a product of Lussumo:
Documentation and Support.

Researchers have dispersed tiny platelets of aluminum oxide in a polymer to make a material that is tough, stretchy, and lightweight. The material could lead to longer-lasting bone and dental implants and lighter, more fuel-efficient car and airplane parts. It could also be used to make bendable, transparent electronics.
In their efforts to create strong yet light materials, chemists and materials scientists have long tried to mimic nanostructures found in nature. Shells, bones, and tooth enamel all consist of stiff ceramic platelets arranged in a polymer matrix like bricks in mortar. These hybrid materials combine the strength of ceramics and the stretchability of polymers.
In 2007, University of Michigan researchers engineered clay-reinforced polymers that were extremely strong but brittle: it takes a lot of energy to deform them, but when they do deform, they break abruptly. Researchers at MIT succeeded in making stiff but less brittle clay-polymer composites, which will tolerate some stretching before they break. (See "Ultra-Tough Nanotech Materials.")
Ludwig Gauckler, the professor of materials at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, in Switzerland, who led the new work, says that his group's composite is better still. It's five times as strong as the material made at MIT, he says, yet it's still stretchy. A film of the composite is already as strong as aluminum foil, Gauckler says, but if stretched, it can expand by up to 25 percent of its size; aluminum foil would break at 2 percent.
An added advantage of the hybrid material is that it's light, says Harvard materials scientist Andre Studart, who was involved in the work. The material is half to a quarter as heavy as steel of the same strength, Studart says, and it would make a good substitute for fiberglass, which is commonly used in car parts. Because the material's strength comes from the platelets diffused through it, Studart says, "it will be strong in two directions and not only in one direction, as in the case of fiber-reinforced material."
Moreover, while the material is translucent now, its structure could be modified to render it transparent, making it suitable for dental material and transparent electronic circuits.

Hi there, I'm Nintendo Mad, but my real name is Jack, I come from a town in Greater London, England. I was born on December 6 1997. My first Pokémon game was Diamond, given to me as a gift, I then went on and corrupted this game by accident shortly after I'd got a Shaymin. I have since restarted Diamond, but I have given up, due to the fact I much prefer Platinum and the newer games. I then bought Pokémon Platinum on release, which is still with me to do this day. After that, I bought HeartGold on release and played it, it is one of my favourites. A few months later, I bought Emerald so that I could complete the Pokédex a little easier. Finally, I bought Black on release date. I own a DS Lite (For Emerald and Pal Parking), a Nintendo DSi, and a Nintendo 3DS.
I use Chrome (which sadly doesn't support AniPNG D':) and Ubuntu, and only use Windows if forced.
I'll write more when I can think of it :D
(Side note: I don't know why under the infobox it says "Satoshi" or how to change it, so just ignore that, if anyone knows how to change it, can you either tell me how in the Talk page, or just do it yourself please :D)

Happy Friday chicas……. As I sat down this morning grubbing on some breakfast, I realized some things that made me chuckle a bit. The first is that awhile ago I dropped my product junky habit, or so I thought, and I was all like "I'm doing well today, no worries about hair items because I know what my hair likes (two snaps and a circle)". I quickly realized when away from my staples during the holidays that I turned into a product junky whore, stocking up on items, trying the wash and go again which in turn leads me to wanting to purchase more products and just starting that whole vicious cycle once more.
Now let me note that I have nothing against product junkyism and I think if you like trying new products then go out and do so, it's your money, your hair and it is always fun to experiment. I think that one of the good things about being a product junky is that aside from trying out new items, you can discover that new brand line becomes a staple in your regimen that your hair might have been missing. Also, it allows you to always have a backup in case your favorite product line changes their formula or discontinues an item( I have mentioned it in the past, it's always good to have an heir and a spare).
My brief relapse into product junkyhood as allowed me to find a new staple (Shea Moisture brand) ,incorporate some of my beloved (Karens Body Beautifuls) into the mix and also reconnect with old friends (Miss Jessie Curly Pudding is the bomb when it comes to twist outs for my hair, hands down despite the wacky ingredients). Unfortunately it's also allowed me to temporarily say goodbye to one of my homies (Oyin Handmade) for now.
The overall point is that while product junkyism can be taxing on the pockets, sometimes the good outweighs the bad in the gems that you find along the way.
Have a great weekend!!!

Summer is just about wrapping up, but that hasn't stopped stars from styling their hair like they'd just come from a day at the beach. This week, Lea Michele strutted the red carpet in voluminous waves at the Do Something Awards, while Kirsten Dunst popped by The Bachelorette premiere with similarly kinky hair. And Alicia Silverstone complemented her ombré color with a long, tousled style. These ladies are obviously hanging onto their Summer strands, but who wore the look best?

The company decided on the extension as various semiconductor and IC equipment manufacturers had shown an interest in its portfolio. Tegal's portfolio comprises a total of 35 global and local patents in the fields of plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD), pulsed chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and NLD.
NLD is a technology which integrates the CVD, which is non-conformal and gives high throughput and ALD, which is highly conformal and gives low throughput. This technology helps semiconductor and IC equipment manufacturers to extend the life of hardware based on CVD processes without having the need to shift to ALD processes that are limited by pre-cursors.
The technical know-how and knowledge of Tegal has led to the invention of many devices such as LEDs, advance memory and microprocessors. The company is also responsible for the development of the sensing and filtering devices that are now used by most smart phones. The company has also invested in Sequel Power to develop various solar power plant projects and renewable energy projects around the world.

Sony Corp. and six of the biggest U.S. cable operators announced an agreement to create digital televisions capable of receiving cable service without a set-top box.
Sony signed a pact with Comcast Corp., Time Warner Cable Inc., Cox Communications, Charter Communications Inc., Cablevision Systems Corp. and Bright House Networks to develop technology that will allow consumers to eliminate set-top boxes, yet still receive basic as well as advanced cable services, such as pay-per-view movies.
The new technological standard should enable a new generation of TVs to include video-on-demand, digital video recording, interactive programming guides, and other services, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association said Tuesday. By eliminating the set-top box, cable companies can simplify installation and reduce costs, while consumers can worry about one less component in their home theater systems. . . .
Sony and the cable operators will adopt a Java-based application called tru2way as the nationwide interactive standard, which will allow for the manufacture of new "plug-and-play" interactive devices that can be used with TV sets.
The technology could also make it easier for consumers to receive the full range of cable-based services on other devices, such as laptops, MP3 players, and cellphones.
Via Jeff Jarvis, "The cable box should have been dead at least a decade ago. The only thing that kept it alive was cable companies' business model built around control and restriction. But you can no longer make a business on telling us what we can't do."
Now how about getting our internet signals to our TV screens!

As far as Stanley Havili is concerned, Titans linebacker Moise Fokou got what he deserved.
That would be a 15-yard personal foul at the end of the first half that enabled Adam Vinatieri to kick a 37-yard field goal as time expired.
"He took a cheap shot and they paid for it," said Havili, the Colts fullback. "That's what you get when you take cheap shots." ...

New Hampshire Town Sues Over Meter Feeding
Keene, New Hampshire alleges conspiracy on the part of meter feeders.
A group of residents in Keene, New Hampshire thought the city was gaining a bad reputation for its predatory parking meter enforcement and decided to do something about it. The organized an effort to regularly feed coins into the meters so that other residents and visitors could avoid having an expensive ticket slapped on their windshield. Instead, they receive a card telling them that Robin Hood and the Merry Men have "saved you from the king's tariff." As a reward for their generosity, the city is suing the Robin Hooders for civil conspiracy to interfere with a contract. A hearing on the case is scheduled for August 12.
"Because they often try to beat me to an expired meter, they will run up behind me very quickly, which is startling and makes me nervous," meter maid Linda A. Desruisseaux said. "In particular, Graham Colson likes to taunt me by saying, 'Linda, guess what you're not going to do today -- write tickets.'"
Keene employs three meter maids, and the Robin Hood activists are organized enough to ensure meters are fed before any ticket can be issued. To protect themselves against false accusations, they document the meter feeding effort and upload the video to YouTube. The city insists that the Robin Hooders' conduct is not protected by the Constitution.
"The content of defendants' speech is not relevant to a First Amendment analysis," Erik G. Moskowitz, an attorney retained by the city, wrote. "Through its injunction request, the city seeks a content-neutral, easily measured 50-foot safety zone. The city does not seek to limit defendants' ability to videotape city employees from a 'comfortable remove.' Nor, to the extent that defendants' activity of feeding meters can be considered a First Amendment activity, does the city seek to prevent defendants from engaging in that activity."
Though it asks for a fifty-foot buffer, the city cited a First Circuit case, Glik v. Cunniffe, which concluded a ten-foot buffer was sufficient. The primary purpose of the extra-large buffer zone is to keep the Robin Hooders from feeding meters.
"The city also has a protected property interest in the employment relationship between it and the PEOs [parking enforcement officers] based on the PEOs's performance of parking enforcement activities for the city in exchange for consideration and benefits," Moskowitz argued. "Defendants' continued interference with this contractual relationship will impact the city's property interest."
In response, the Robin Hooders argued the city has no right to protect its public employees from the speech of residents on sidewalks and other public areas. The group cited the official job description of a meter maid requiring that individuals be able to "endure verbal and mental abuse when confronted with the hostile views and opinions of the public." The Constitution guarantees the right to petition the government, even if the message from the public is unwelcome.
"There is no principled distinction between protecting a listener from an unwelcome message versus suppressing the speech of the speaker," Robin Hood lawyer Jon Meyer wrote in his brief to the court.

A hip hour's worth of furiously funky theme songs, film cuts, and funky jams from the silver screen and 70s TV – all compiled by the groove hound geniuses at Blue Note for the Groov Experience series! The groove here stretches from furious bass heavy jams, to stripped down Latin funk monsters, to string-heavy film score funk – but they share the common trait of a pure booty shakin' 70s vibe, one that made the movies and detective shows of the era so inimitably wonderful! And although a few tracks are familiar, they're mixed up nicely here to really keep things fresh throughout. Titles include "Enter The Dragon" by Jack Parnell, "Kojak" by Willie Bobo, "Across 110th Street" by Bobby Womack, "The Final Comedown" by Grant Green, "The Earthmen" by Paddy Kingsland, "Keep Your Eye On The Sparrow (Baretta's Theme)" by Earl Klugh, "Down Here On The Ground (Ummah rmx)" by Grant Green & Dianne Reeves, "Peter Gunn Mambo" and "Harlem Nocturne" by Jack Costanzo, "Funky Fever" by Alan Morehouse, and "Bullitt" by Wilton Felder. © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Monessen revival boils down to money that could be difficult to secure
Monessen officials stand little chance of pulling together as much as $8.5 million to match a portion of the $30.5 million in public financing they say would transform the Rust Belt city into an artists' mecca, a state lawmaker said.
Rep. Ted Harhai, D-Monessen, said public funding for the "Monessen Rising" project will require the city to match its share before any state taxpayer money is committed to the project.
The cost of Monessen Rising, which aims to entice artists to move to the former steel town and develop businesses, is outlined in a proposal authored by Urban Design Ventures in Homestead that was introduced at an invitation-only luncheon last year for business owners and a few residents.
Patty Bukowski, a candidate for city council who attended, said she raised the issue of where the city would get matching funds.
"I brought up the $30 million as a question," she said. "It's impossible to come up with matching funds. Who is going to invest in Monessen at this point? We're not a good risk. Monessen is icing the cake without baking it."
The city of 7,720, just a third of its population before the steel industry collapse drove out jobs and people, has an operating budget of $4.5 million.
"They're not getting a dime from the state unless they put money up front," Harhai said. "They have to be prepared to have matching funds before the state will even talk to them. The state is not going to hand out money for just any project."
But Walter Haglund of Urban Design Ventures, the city's redevelopment authority consultant, contends that grants and matching funds are available.
"We have had numerous meetings with the state, and it is looking very favorable," he said.
Haglund said the authority plans to transfer the former city hall to a nonprofit that can raise money from private institutions to provide the matching funds to pay for its $2 million conversion to an arts center. The redevelopment authority has several hundred thousand dollars in loans it could use as a match, he said, and the city has designated some state Community Development Block Grant money for the project.
The city has received nearly $5 million in state grants since 2000. But money allocated for projects like Monessen Rising is tight, according to state economic development officials.
Funding questions
The transformation of Monessen from steel town to cultural center is the concept of Staten Island developers George Christo and attorney R. Randy Lee, whose proposal made clear that the project will require local, state and federal funds.
Danielle Thompson, who has a tailoring and screen-printing business on Donner Avenue, said she attended the kick-off luncheon uninvited. Christo "skirted" the issue of matching funds, she said, deflecting her questions by asking, "Anyone like some wine?"
"This project is not even a pipe dream," Thompson said. "I've seen schemes like this before. He (Christo) wants to use state money to fix up his property. You have people come in here with big pipe dreams. You get to the point you don't believe them anymore."
Christo formed Monessen Redevelopment LLC last year to oversee the project. He was appointed master developer by the city redevelopment authority to "work closely with the ... authority to rehabilitate existing buildings in Monessen," the grant proposal states.
Christo estimates it will take $4.5 million in state and federal money to acquire properties, $300,000 from the city's community development funds, $7.1 million from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and $10 million from state and federal sources for brownfield remediation.
The transformation of city hall into a cultural center "will require a significant financial commitment" from the city, Christo said in the proposal. That includes $250,000 to obtain the building, $1.2 million in state and federal funds for rehabilitation, and $350,000 in historic tax credits.
Westmoreland County commissioners have applied for a $600,000 grant from Marcellus shale relief funds on Monessen's behalf so that the city can purchase properties from the county repository for unpaid taxes, demolish dilapidated structures and repair the rest.
"I would like to do whatever I can to help Monessen turn into a thriving community," said Commissioner Charles Anderson. "Whatever we can do to make that happen, it's going to be the best thing for Monessen."
Too grand a plan?
Neither Mayor Mary Jo Smith, who spearheads the project, nor city manager John Harhai, who is Ted Harhai's brother, would comment.
But in an interview with the Valley Independent for a story on her re-election campaign last week, Smith conceded the plan may be too grand.
"Will it all work? Probably not. But some of it is absolutely going to work, and we have to move the city forward one way or another," Smith said. "We need to celebrate our heritage as a steel town. But we cannot live in the past, and the past kills you. The past is not coming back. We have a plan to move forward, and we're working our plan."
While Christo's proposal for the city is flush with dollar signs from public sources, he has not invested his money in two dilapidated structures he owns. In an Internet sale in 2008, he paid $16,000 for the Magura Clothing Co. on Schoonmaker Avenue. In 2009, he purchased the nearby Eisenberg Building, a former department store, for $1,000, according to real estate records. The city has cited both structures for code violations, court records show.
Christo said he and other private investors are reluctant to buy into the project without public financing.
"My biggest problem is if I drop $500,000 into the Eisenberg Building, where I do go from there?" he said. "I'm making no money in the near future in Monessen unless the properties I own, or own in the future, attract investors. This plan is not a six-month plan. We're talking years."

Polygamous sect custody case dismissed, joined with divorce case
A child custody case filed by Warren Jeffs' half-brother was dismissed Monday in favor of joining it with his divorce case.
"It was just a re-shuffling of the cases, not a dismissal on the merits," said Salt Lake City attorney Roger Hoole, who represents Wallace Jeffs.
Senior Utah District Judge Pamela Heffernan advised him to file in juvenile court if he is concerned about the children, who are living with their mother in the polygamous sect the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, according to the St. George Spectrum.
Wallace Jeffs filed for custody of his nine minor children with estranged wife Amy in July, after he was thrown out of the sect for the third time, his attorney said.
The case was delayed after Wallace Jeffs was seriously injured in a car crash.
"We're looking forward to trying to resolve the custody issues in the proper form, which is the divorce case," said attorney Rod Parker, who represents Amy Jeffs.

SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea test-fired a fourth short-range missile off its east coast Thursday, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported.
South Korea's Defense Ministry had earlier confirmed three launches, but could not immediately be reached about the fourth reported missile.
The intelligence official, who could also not be named for security reasons, said the launches came as no surprise because North Korea had issued a warning to mariners to avoid an area in the Sea of Japan at certain times between June 24 and July 9 because of a "military firing exercise," according to a U.S. military communication about the warning provided to CNN.
At the rate they are firing on the Sea of Japan you would think the Sea of Japan would either capitulate and surrender. The United Nations is at this time drafting a strongly worded letter to North Korea asking them, if the UN gave them 100 billion dollars and enough food for the winter would North Korea please promise to dismantle their nuclear program again and not to launch any more missles until at least October.
All the news that's fit to comment on. Except no one ever really comments. SO it's more like a monologue of slightly OCD mind.

Karl Malden, one of Hollywood's strongest and most versatile supporting actors, who won an Oscar playing his Broadway-originated role as Mitch in "A Streetcar Named Desire," died today. He was 97.

Last year, I convened a panel of friends and coworkers to taste and rate Caribbean beers. This time around, we took on domestic canned beers in search of the perfect brew for a holiday weekend cookout. We were looking for one with broad appeal, one that people could enjoy all day in the afternoon sun and one that was cheap. How cheap? My only rule was that each individual beer had cost less than $1, or no more than $6 a six-pack.
We are all pinching our pennies and advice on good cheap beer is always welcome. He even included a link to the test of Caribbean beers from last year. Nice work mate.

Welcome to the Suck
ST. PAUL, Minn. – A unanimous Minnesota Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Democrat Al Franken should be certified the winner of the state's long-running Senate race, paving the way for the former Saturday Night Live comedian to be seated after an almost eight-month fight.
The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining his Senate seat are dwindling, saying Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office.
Hopefully Al isn't going to Washington to be a mouthpiece for the liberal political agenda. Sadly the article is already lining him up with the Dem majority, like he is expected to vote with them. But then again...what on earth could motivate someone to join one of the most despised organizations? Money, I hope not. Power, I hope not. To Serve, I hope so. Only time will tell.
The Most Dangerous Sport: Cheerleading
Cheerleading safety efforts have led to modest reductions in the number of serious injuries in recent years, according to a new report about college and high school sports and cheerleading mishaps.
But cheerleading continues to cause more serious and deadly injuries by far than other sports.
Researchers have long known how dangerous cheerleading is, but records were poorly kept until recently. An update to the record-keeping system last year found that between 1982 and 2007, there were 103 fatal, disabling or serious injuries recorded among female high school athletes, with the vast majority (67) occurring in cheerleading. The next most dangerous sports: gymnastics (nine such injuries) and track (seven).
God bless their little daredevil hearts. Thank you for risking so much for so little.

Another Sotomayer decision overturned
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge.
New Haven was wrong to scrap a promotion exam because no African-Americans and only two Hispanic firefighters were likely to be made lieutenants or captains based on the results, the court said Monday in a 5-4 decision. The city said that it had acted to avoid a lawsuit from minorities.
When do we start hiring and promoting based on a man or woman's abilities and not the color of their skin?

The body position and movements are more important than the actual line left behind. Regardless of the line, a balanced position, proper timing and coordination and solid edging skills will result in a much more stable, and IMHO fun ride.
For me, looking back at my line while riding the lift (assuming you can see it, and it is actually your line) really helps tell you what you are doing right and doing wrong. Seeing that on my toeside I have a nice clean pencil line shows me that I am working in the right direction.
Early on, I struggled with heelside turns. Looking at my line, I had a clean line on entry. But as the heelside carve progressed it began to widen and looked more like a skidded turn. At first I didn't know why, after talking to other riders and asking on the forum, I learned I was not shifting my weight aft as the turn completed and it was washing out.
If you just want to ride, no it really doesn't matter what you call it. So many people already call linking turns carving. If you want to progress, yes it matters. If you can't distinguish between the types, how can you ask questions. Skidded turns have their place, carving is just one technique of many.

At sizes below 10 microns, these particulates have proved difficult to characterize fully using traditional analytical techniques. This has prompted investigations into new ways of detecting the presence, measuring the size and also characterizing the shape and intensity (transparency) of these particulates to ensure product safety and performance. An application note on the subject; "Measuring Sub-Visible Particulates in Biological Therapeutics using the Sysmex FPIA-3000" can be downloaded from the Malvern website at: www.malvern.com/fpiaproteins
The Sysmex FPIA-3000 from Malvern Instruments is a dynamic particle image analysis system that incorporates optical imaging of a sample once it has been aligned by a unique sheath-flow cell. Sample alignment ensures that every single particle, from 0.8 µm to 300 µm, has its largest surface area imaged. Obtaining the maximum dimension is critical to investigations focused on safety. However, for development studies requiring further information, the system also delivers high quality, high resolution images enhanced by contrast control that enables the distinction of primary particles, foreign matter and agglomerates. This type of additional detail can provide beneficial control over the final product.

Jesuit Father Sean Carroll Discusses Working with Migrants Along the Border in This Month's NJN Podcast
In this month's National Jesuit News podcast, we spoke to Jesuit Father Sean Carroll, who currently serves as the executive director of the Kino Border Initiative in Nogales, Ariz. along the border with Mexico.
The Kino Border Initiative (KBI) was founded in January 2009 as a binational effort to help support and provide assistance to deported migrants. Since its founding, KBI has served thousands of migrants by providing food, shelter, first aid and pastoral support.
Fr. Carroll recently spoke with National Jesuit News by phone from Nogales to discuss the work of KBI and about his own background as a Jesuit. You can listen to our podcast with Carroll via the player below.
Changing People's Lives: The Society of Jesus in Eastern Africa
In November, over 1,100 students, teachers, parish members and others passionate about faith-inspired social justice gathered in Washington, DC for the 14th annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice sponsored by the Ignatian Solidarity Network.
For this year's Teach In, Jesuit Father Agbonkhianmeghe Orobator, provincial of the East African Province of the Society of Jesus, was the keynote speaker who discussed the issues facing his province today. During his time at the Teach In, National Jesuit News interviewed Fr. Orobator about the challenges that the Society of Jesus faces in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia and the Republics of the Sudan in the North and South.
"I think the unique mission of the Society of Jesus is that we are able to think 'outside of the box'." I think that is very unique to Jesuits," says Fr. Orobator. "We can work in parishes, we can run schools, we can run communications centers, we can run many different apostolates, but we can do it in a way that is unconventional."
The theme of this year's event was "The Gritty Reality: Feel It, Think It, Engage It," derived from a speech given by former Jesuit Superior General, Father Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, in 2000 entitled, "The Service of Faith and the Promotion of Justice in American Jesuit Higher Education." Kolvenbach said, "students, in the course of their formation, must let the gritty reality of this world into their lives, so they can learn to feel it, think about it critically, respond to its suffering and engage it constructively."
You can watch National Jesuit News' interview with Fr. Orobator below.
Jesuit Father Ted Arroyo Discusses Alabama's Anti-Immigration Law in This Month's NJN Podcast
In this month's NJN podcast, we spoke to Jesuit Father Ted Arroyo from his office in Mobile about the immigration law recently put into place in Alabama that is considered one of the strictest in the U.S.
Fr. Arroyo currently serves as the Alabama Associate for the Jesuit Social Research Institute. Based out of New Orleans, the Jesuit Social Research Institute, JSRI, works throughout the Gulf South doing research, analysis, education, and advocacy on the issues of poverty, race, and migration.
You can listen to our podcast with Arroyo via the player below. You can also read his testimony in front of the Alabama's state legislature by visiting the JSRI site here.
Jesuit Protests Alabama's Immigration Law
Jesuit Father Ted Arroyo said that protesting Alabama's new immigration law isn't an act of politics, it's an act of faith.
"It's challenging us to welcome the alien and show mercy to the stranger," said Fr. Arroyo, rector of the Jesuit community at Spring Hill College, "because what we do for them we do for God."
Arroyo spoke on August 27 to about 100 people gathered in Lyons Park in Mobile who sang, prayed and created signs expressing their distress with the bill approved by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Robert Bentley in June.
The law allows local police to detain people suspected of being in the United States illegally; requires public schools to inquire into immigration status of students; makes it a crime for an illegal immigrant to seek work; and makes it a crime to knowingly transport or harbor an illegal immigrant.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Birmingham to block the bill's implementation. The case is pending.
Arroyo told the crowd to find out stories of their ancestors' and families' immigrations to new places. He also urged people to volunteer to help new immigrants in their own communities.
"If you meet the immigrant and welcome the stranger, soon enough they will be strangers no more," Arroyo said.

Jesuit Rediscovers his Jesuit Identity Amongst Rubble of Japanese Tsunami
Jesuit Jody Magtoto was in Japan this past May, helping in the relief effort for victims of the tsunami. He reflects on how he rediscovered his Jesuit identity in the midst of the rubble:
I had been in Kamaishi for two days by then. Because I had taken some courses in Japanese, I could sort of understand what was going on. But I came to realize that because my words and thoughts were in English, I could not articulate what I wanted to say. I decided then to keep my words to a minimum lest I offend or be misunderstood.
That night, after a long day spent in the tiring clean-up operations and after supping in self-imposed silence, I decided to have some time by myself. I sat on a bench and fixed my gaze on the bittersweet horizon where the melancholy of the ruin caused by the tsunami met the magnificence of the stars.
"Jody-san," the quiet was broken by one of the volunteers. We had worked together that morning clearing up the debris from one of the houses. He sat beside me, and like me, looked towards the horizon. "I'm not a Christian, so forgive me for asking—what exactly does a Shingakusei do?"
"Well …" I began as I grasped for words, trying to explain in the simplest terms what being a seminarian is all about. He listened intently as I grappled to explain without theological jargon, in a mixture of Japanese and English, what theology is.
"So how many years does it take before Shingakusei becomes a shinpu?" he asked.
I explained the number of years it takes to become a priest, and as briefly as I could, explained the formation in the Society of Jesus. When he found out that I had been a software engineer prior to joining the Jesuits, he paused for a long time, then looked at me and asked, "But why? I mean, why leave all of that? That sounds like a well-paying and stable job."
I was at a loss for words. How does one talk about vocation to a non-Christian?
