What is the difference between blacktech and the standard version? Are there any differences mechanically? Advantages vs. disadvantages?
Hello Denise, this is what the tech offers that the standard version does not. The Black Tech coating is not only for aesthetics, it is also extremely scratch and corrosion resistant. Applied on both the first and second stages, this premium finishing gives a real technical plus to a high performing regulator.
How do you put the regulators all together
Hello Garrett, if you buy your gear from us it will already be put together for you so all you need to add is your tank and water. If you have your gear and need to put it together if you go to: http://www.scuba.com/video/46/How-to-Assemble-a-Scuba-Diving-Regulator.html. That video will show you how to assemble your gear.
2 questions: (1) when you buy scubapro equipment from a local store, a lot will do servicing for a standard fee, "parts for life". what is your policy? (2) in the options down before adding to cart it says "black" - is that black with chrome as pictured on all black? thanks.
The parts warranty is from Scubapro, not the local dive shop. All authorized dealers will honor their warranty. Our rates can be found at: http://www.scuba.com/resources/ioc.asp toward the bottom of the page.
second part of my previous question was missed: in the options down before adding to cart it says "black" - is that black with chrome as pictured on all black? thanks.
Sorry I meant the Redesigned Neptune Space G.Diver Mask with 2nd Stage that is the one I want to get so with this one do I need to get ScubaPro MK25 / S600 Regulator System or not and please advice what else should I get with the mask
Hello Ahmed, the suggested 1st stage for the FFM is the Ocean Reef SL 35 TX Regulator 1st Stage web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-124/033106/Ocean-Reef-SL-35-TX-Scuba-Regulator-1st-Stage..html.
what can you tell me about 1st stage mk15
Hello Steve, the MK15 frist stage you are looking for is a discontinued 1st stage. If you are asking about the MK25 here are the specs for that regulator: MK25 EVO First Stage Air balanced flow-through piston in a chrome-plated brass body provides constant and effortless airflow unaffected by depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate. Patent-pending XTIS (Extended Thermal Insulating System) fully isolates the mechanical elements from the cold, increasing freezing resistance 30 percent over the current MK25 without compromising breathing performance. New spring insulating coating, body insulating bushing, anti-freeze cap, bigger body and cap thread all work in concert with the XTIS to improve cold-water performance. Anti-freeze protection radically increases breathing reliability when diving in the most extreme water temperatures. Two high pressure and five high-flow low pressure ports on a swivel turret maximize hose routing options. External intermediate pressure adjustment enables technicians to fine-tune performance quickly and easily. Available in either 3364psi/232bar INT or 4350psi/300bar DIN configurations. Weight: INT 232 (oz/g): 27.9/790; DIN 300 (oz/g): 20.1/572. Airflow at 2900psi (l/min/SCFM): >8500/301. Intermediate pressure (psi/bar): 130-142/9-9.8.
I currently have a Tusa Xpert RS-460, and have been thinking of upgrading to a higher end reg. Ive been looking at this ScubaPro, and the Tusa 681. Any thoughts on those two, or any reccomendations on another type? Or should I just keep what I have?
Hi, what would be the price for this reg system completely built with hoses and extra hose for dry suit and an R195 octo?
Hello Alon the regulator with the R195 octo and this: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-159/066837/Pinnacle-Drysuit-Inflator-Hose.html drysuit inflator you are looking at $977.95 sub-total.
Newly restyled for 2013, our best-selling S600 is continuously evolving and is in its 5th edition. Timeless design and chrome plated marine grade brass make this high performing system a classic.
Our top performing balanced piston first stage paired with our high performance air balanced second stage; this combination is SCUBAPRO's most popular regulator combination. The S600 truly matches the MK25's characteristics and thanks to its adjustment possibilities, it adapts to all diving conditions and all diver preferences. Ease of breathing is the essence of this system.
The MK25 first stage is our absolute top performer and is a superior regulator thanks to its ultra stable intermediate pressure resulting in an extremely punctual and constantly high delivery of air. The means instant air flow at any cylinder pressure and water temperature for a real carefree dive.
Paired with the air balanced high performance S600 second stage, this system is our top performer.
Balanced flow valve provides constant & effortless air flow.
Diver adjustable inhalation control enables personal adjustment of breathing effort.
Diver adjustable Venturi Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) dive/pre-dive control switch and extra high flow exhaust valve account for easy inhale & exhale.
Super-flow hose for smooth air delivery.
Precision moulded, lightweight components and anti-freeze materials provide high corrosion resistance and enhance cold water performance.

December's Top Ten
Four years on December 18 and 19 we were hit with the biggest December snow on record. Our records go back to the 1870s ! It is the only December snow in our top ten. 16.4" fell officially at National and 18" at Dulles. The December storm of '09 comes in at number seven. The blizzard of 1966 is no longer in the top ten. We received a lot of emails asking why we weren't talking about that storm. National only recorded 13.8". What made that storm so memorable was the blowing and drifting of the snow. Two feet fell in the suburbs and drifts six to ten feet were common. When it drifts to ten feet these drifts might be twenty to fifty feet deep and even snow plows can't get through that much snow. Once again National's "official" number was low. I think that National records artificially low totals when it is windy. Truth be told I think they are always low. We had 21" here in Northwest with higher amounts north, east, west and south of us and of National. We tried to keep you one step ahead of the storm. On 9 New Now at 11PM the Thursday before the storm I said that it was somewhere between "big" and "historic" and leaning toward "historic. Here were some of our tips during the storm...shovel frequently, mark and then dig out your downspouts, mailbox, dryer vent and heat pump. Remember don't leave home without sunglasses and make sure your wiper fluid is full. After any blizzard I get worried about flooding but we were very fortunate all last winter as each storm melted slowly and without any heavy rain. Little did we know what still awaited us !

WHEELING - It was fitting that the West Virginia Class A Region 1 semifinal between Wheeling Central and Magnolia came down to Sarah Henry against Mallory Chapman.
The two starting pitchers had been trading blows all evening as the Maroon Knights held a slim 2-1 lead with two outs in the seventh when Chapman stepped to the plate.
The situation made Central coach Rich Magruder call a timeout so he could have a chat with his infield.
Article Photos
Wheeling Central catcher Laken Visnick poises to throw down a runner at second base during Thursday's game against Magnolia in Wheeling.
''I just told them relax and make sure you make the play,'' he said. ''Don't get all excited and throw it away. I tried to calm them down.''
It worked.
After Henry fell behind 1-0, the senior battled back to strike out her counterpart as the Central dugout erupted with cheers and applause.
''Sarah Henry ... she couldn't have pitched any better,'' Magruder said. ''She did a heckuva job. We just tried to mix it up on them. We thought Mallory was looking for something inside last time up, so we just told her to go outside a little. We got lucky.''
A common theme for the Knights all game long.
After falling behind 1-0, Central (19-8) used two errors on Magnolia in the third to pick up two runs.
Megan Griffin, who was starting in the place of Cara Stahl, reached on an single down the third base line to start off the inning, then advanced to third on a Allie Cook bunt that no Blue Eagle fielded before she crossed home plate on a wild pitch to tie the game, 1-1.
One out later, Sydney Bennington hit into a fielder's choice that drove in Cook, which turned out to be the game winner.
''Ali laid a great bunt down and they just didn't field it,'' Magruder pointed out. ''Then we got lucky on a pass ball, but hey, we'll take it any way we can. I'd rather be lucky than good.''
A statement that could not have left Magnolia coach Mark Batton more envious.
''That's at least seven or eight one-run games we've lost this year,'' he said. ''That's tough. It's tough on the girls. My heart's broken for the girls because they've come a long way. We started with a real young team and they've done everything we've asked. They've work hard and we're just as proud as can be of them for that.''
Part of that hard work Batton says came from the leadership role Chapman took on her senior year.
''Mallory has been big for us,'' Batton noted. ''What a job she has done this year. She's just a tremendous athlete. She was one of the only returning starters back, so she kinda put this team on her shoulders and did a great job of handling it.''
Though the loss ended the Blue Eagles season at 15-15, the win kept the Maroon Knights' title run alive as Central will now travel to the winner of St. Marys/Clay-Battelle on May 16.

I apologize if this is a repost but I've searched the forums and have not found an answer.
I recently(last night) updated Zimbra to 7.0 and moved the installation to a new server.
ZCS NE 6.0.10 on Ubuntu 8.04 64 -> ZCS NE 7.0.0 on Ubuntu 8.04 64 -> ZCS NE 7.0.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 64 was my transition.

So, you finally caved to all the adorable pictures on the Internet and bought a dog, and now it's time to get the little rascal everything it needs to live a dog's life of leisure ... but you're not quite sure where to start.
Perfectly understandable! Taking care of a dog or puppy is not always a walk in the park, so to speak, and there are plenty of tools and treats you can use to make the task easier and more enjoyable. Dogs grow fast and this is your chance to have fun while teaching your new dog all the old tricks.
ATG Stores would like to make your dog happier and healthier with this checklist that includes everything you'll need to keep your canine fine and in line.
Dog chow is an obvious must, but sometimes people overlook the treats. Any dog would be happy to live on treats alone, but a better idea is to use them as a training aid and to reward good behavior.
Your new dog is not going to be picky, as he will happily prove by eating anything you leave at shin level, but if you happen to be more selective there are a wide variety of natural and organic foods and treats available at Pet Supply Showroom.
Running with your dog without a collar, tags and/or leash usually means you're also running afoul of the law, and that's never any good. These are essential items that will keep your new dog safe, especially if he's the rambunctious rabbit-chasing type.
Some collars are adjustable while others are not. Your choice should depend on whether your dog is still growing. If not, you may want to opt for a designer collar and leash that will make the rest of the mutts at the dog park howl with jealousy.
Harnesses are a good choice for both puppies and grown dogs, but if you choose a leash for a puppy try one that's at least 6 ft. long and perhaps even retractable to give you ample maneuverability for training.
Related Products
If you're an active dog owner, you may also want to consider a waterproof collar and/or hands-free leash so that all your bases are covered when you're out trotting with your tail-wagger.
You may not believe it at first, but eventually your new pooch will pass out and when he does it should be in a familiar place that he can call his own. A puppy will grow out of a new bed pretty fast, so the focus in the beginning should be durability and economy.
If (or when) your dog is fully grown you may want to think about a more permanent dog bed, and perhaps even a designer bed that fits the style of your home - or your dog. For trips, you could also get a portable bed or crate pad to keep your hound happy on the open road.
Nobody wants to keep puppy in a corner, but sometimes a crate, kennel or other kind of doggy barrier is needed to keep your new pet safe. Crates can also be helpful as a training aid and many owners often use "furniture-style crates" that blend in with the décor.
Portable crates are great for when you have to travel with your dog, while in-ground fences and gates make good barriers when at home.
You choose between the chews and your shoes. It's as simple as that, at least in the beginning. Dogs of all ages love to play and chew on stuff so it's always a good idea to have chews and toys on hand for them to devour instead of your furniture and footwear.
It may seem like a no-brainer, but not all water and food bowls are created equal. They can be as different as the dogs that use them, or abuse them, as the case may be.
For taller dogs, elevated bowls make the best option as they help to promote healthy digestion and a more comfortable dining experience. As for additional options, stainless steel and ceramic bowls are durable choices and non-skid bowls will help to keep messy eating to a minimum.
Some scientist somewhere might have once said that poorly groomed dogs are sad. The happy news is that you can save your dog from this possibly hypothetical fate by simply stocking up on dog shampoo, a dog brush and a pair of canine nail clippers.
Puppies are always expected to piddle, but even new adult dogs may have trouble holding it in when they find themselves in strange surroundings.
This and other kinds of doggy disorder call for housebreaking aids and cleaning supplies that include indoor pet relief systems, odor eliminators and a variety of other items. With a little help from you and Pet Supply Showroom your new dog will be accident-free and tongue-waggingly happy in no time.

75hp in 4th gear? Who-da-lolly that sounds nice! I have to admit, I'm a bit intimidated by the installation of them but I'm going to have to try it.This may be a "no dumb questions" dumb question but, do the cams change the air/fuel mixture at all? Is re-jetting required? At some point I'd like the TM32 that a bunch of you folks are running in your AVLs, and that Tom is running on his Fireballs. Dan, keep us posted on your tuning of the carbs.Lot of good, tempting info here. Thanks guys.
Dan, keep us posted on your tuning of the carbs.
Have you gotten into 5th yet? What is your final gearing, stock or are you geared up one tooth on your countershaft sprocket?
Quick update: beautiful day. Upper 60s. Found 5th gear, and made good progress to an indicated 85mph; could have done more I think, but the police made me stop and messed up my plug chop run. Now I gotta pay an extra bill... Gotta pay more attention to the median!Sweet spot is right around 70 in 5th at about 4000ish rpm. Very pleasant.
That all looks very promising, Dan. I remember doing the 100 MPH + runs on the machine I tuned a few years back and a little part of me would have been happy to get 'done' by the police, just to make it more 'official' B.W.
That thought crosses my mind as well when I am doing top speed runs. "Wait. Are you sure about that officer? I don't think my bike will even go that fast. Maybe we should find a better road and test to make sure your radar is working properly." Scottie J
Hey Guys, i was able to acquire a used pair of s cams from hitchcocks! I am really hazy on the installation. Is it the same installation proccess as BW's S cams?

The IRS deadline of April 18th is coming soon. File fast, for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
Right before 19-year-old Angelica Galindez competed in the Miss Philippines Earth USA beauty pageant, she simply had one question: "Can I not wear my wig?"
At the age of 12, Galindez, raised in San Francisco, was diagnosed with alopecia. The disease occurs when one's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles and results in hair loss. Those affected with alopecia typically regrow their hair by the following year. Galindez categorizes with the rare 10% of people who never regrow their hair after being diagnosed with this condition.
Galindez faced a challenging time because of her condition. She admits to getting picked on at school and suffered a number of self-esteem issues.
"The hard part was just looking at myself in the mirror," Galindez tells KUTV. "It was very challenging, I cried a lot, I slept a lot, just to sleep away the pain."
Thankfully, the beautiful Galindez learned to overcome her self-esteem issue. She bravely decided to embrace her looks and even works as a hair beautician.
Although Galindez was accepted into the pageant based on a picture where she is wearing a wig, she decided to leave the wig behind while competing. She says that although she entered the pageant to boost her self-esteem, her decision to ditch the wig was an effort to inspire young girls, especially those with alopecia.
She took home one of the six pageant crowns move on to the pageant's national-level competition in April.

During chase, driver loses control and hits garage
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 6:28 a.m.
OCALA - An Ocala man faces several charges after late Tuesday night when police say the car he was driving crashed into a vacant house and he fled from the scene.
He was quickly caught by a Marion County sheriff's deputy.
Sheriff's Capt. Grady Grimes said Deputy Travis O'Cull saw a man driving a 2001 Infinity while not wearing his seat belt in the 1300 block of Northeast 14th Street. The deputy attempted to stop the car, but the driver, later identified as Curtis Leroy Evans, fled.
Evans, 31, then crashed into side of the garage at 1899 NE 29th St.
Evans got out of the car and ran in a northwesterly direction, authorities said. However, O'Cull caught and arrested him.
Evans was charged with fleeing and eluding, habitual traffic offender and seat belt violation. Ocala police charged him with leaving the scene of an accident with property damage.
Ocala Fire Rescue Assistant Fire Chief Brian Stoothoff said the department got the call at 11:31 p.m. and arrived on scene within a few minutes. Seeing the damage, they called for a city of Ocala building inspector, who deemed the home uninhabitable.
The residence, which is vacant, had its electricity disconnected.
The owner of the house, who didn't want to be identified, said he has owned it for 13 years and was fixing it up to sell it.

ISU Student-Athletes Give Back To Local Communities
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State student-athletes are giving back to the community this holiday season as they help needy families celebrate Thanksgiving by handing out baskets containing ready-to-cook meals. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) coordinated the community outreach activity which raises money to purchase the baskets.
SAAC president and men's golfer Eric Lindquist noted that the student-athletes also pay for some of the expenses themselves to cover the cost of the baskets.
"It's more than worth it," Lindquist said. "It's such a small amount to pay to make that big of a difference in people's lives."
The sophomore mentioned that participating in this program allows for self-reflection.
"I think it gives you a sense of how blessed we are as student athletes," Lindquist said. "It seems like a small thing to do, but it means a lot to the people we help out."
ISU gymnast Melanie Tham was among the student-athletes that participated in the program this year. The junior said the opportunity to help out those who are less fortunate was readily accepted.
"Its great for me to give something back to the community," Tham said. "I feel like it's the least I can do."
As the Christmas season approaches SAAC is planning another community outreach program that will lend a hand to needy families. The program will be tailored to address specific needs of the individual families.
SAAC has two representatives from each

Hot Rod Holiday Gift GuideWritten by on December 9, 2013 30 Items Every Car Guy (or Gal) Wants
It's holiday time. A time when you're with the ones you love, enjoying way too much food, having a few glasses of egg nog, and listening to holiday music—but more importantly, it's a time for winter car projects and preparation for next year's cruising and racing season. During this time, buy your fellow car guy (or gal) one of these gifts hand-picked by the staff. We avoided the gimmicky tools you'll probably only use once and concentrated on tools and toys you'll enjoy all year long.
Waterproof Paint
Have you ever seen a water droplet puddle up and slide off of a plant's leaf? Rust-Oleum's NeverWet has taken that idea and brought it to us in the form of clearcoat paint. Sprayed on like a standard paint, the surface doesn't need to be scuffed. The paint, a two-part basecoat and clearcoat, will work on almost any solid surface; from plastic to wood to concrete, the waterproof paint won't alter the color.
Price: $59.99
Save Time
Time Savers
The Magna-Panel can be installed on a wall or side of a toolbox, and it's great for quickly organizing tools or small metal parts. Easily removed and relocated, the panels are made from 16-gauge steel with high-energy magnets and come in three sizes. Pictured is the 12x6-inch version. It has a low profile at only 3⁄16-inch thick.
Price: $24.99
Keychain Screwdrivers
Cool Material
For those who don't like bulky multi-tools comes a pair of lightweight screwdrivers. Ready for that unexpected fix, these heat-treated and blackened steel screwdrivers include a key ring.
Price: $6.95
Build 'em a Dragster
What's better than a model car? A magazine subscription, of course—that's why MPC offers one free year of HOT ROD when you purchase this '70 Mustang Funny Car. It's a 1⁄25-scale model, complete with a tube chassis and decal graphics. The kit comes molded in white but doesn't include glue or paint. Our archivist Thomas Voehringer built this model himself and loved the detail of the decals, lettered slicks, and blown Hemi.
Price: $19.99
Powdercoating at Home
Powdercoating is superior to paint; it's chip-resistant, hard to scratch, and more durable. The downside is it can be costly if you pay someone else to do it. Eastwood's Elite Hot Coat Powder Coating Gun kit allows you to powdercoat at home. The application process produces very few VOCs or emissions, so there's no need for a paint suit. Cleaning up merely entails sweeping away the excess powder. Eastwood's kit includes five 8-ounce containers of powder; you choose which colors you want, totaling to 21⁄2 pounds. Everything you need is included in the kit, including hanging wire, an assortment of plugs, an in-line air filter, and three empty powder containers. Eastwood supplies a beginners' guide, along with a book of color samples. All you need is an oven that your work can fit into.
Price: $159.99 (on sale)

Throw a HOT ROD Holiday Party
Friend of HOT ROD Tresa Holloway hosted a semi-surprise 50th birthday party for her husband Dennis, where she perfectly executed a car-themed party with everything from an impromptu car show to the beer-can derby. Here are some of her ideas:
More Party Ideas!
Trick your friends into helping you this holiday season. Have a winter project you need help with? Disguise the help request as a holiday party. Clean up the garage, hang some lights, fix some chicken wings, and have a cooler filled with beer or soda. If you aren't into the decoration stuff, then all a car guy really needs is a group of friends, cool cars, and drinks.
Hold a car show—ask your neighbors to join or let you block off a section of your street and invite as many cars as you can. Leave the garage door open and have a cooler close by. But remember, if you're serving beer, make sure people have a place for people to stay and leave their cars overnight. Drinking and cruising don't mix.

|Multi-car accident closes highway several hours
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Wednesday, 06 March 2013 22:45
The pickup at left slammed into the other two vehicles, which had stopped for a herd of cattle to cross the highway, north of Enders. (Courtesy Photo)
By Jan Schultz
The Imperial Republican
Highway 6, north of Enders, was closed for several hours Saturday, Feb. 23 after somewhat of a bizarre accident piled up three vehicles and damaged another.
And, according to one of the people involved, "It was a miracle we all walked away."
Shona Heim, who was home in Champion last Wednesday recuperating, said she feels very blessed to have come out of the accident with just bruises and whiplash.
County Sheriff Kevin Mueller said his office received the call shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, but eventually turned the investigation over to the State Patrol so the county could handle traffic control.
The series of events started as Maddux Cattle Co., was moving 1,000-plus head of cattle east across the highway near mile marker 31, close to the Mark Fanning residence.
The sheriff's office was contacted ahead of time and okayed the moving of the cattle across the highway. Deputy Justin Mueller was on the south side of the cattle crossing to hold traffic there, while Jack Maddux of Wauneta was flagging vehicles to stop on the north.
Heim's 2003 Olds Alero was one of two vehicles stopped on the north. Monte Nordhausen of Wauneta was in a 2007 Chevy
Tahoe parked ahead of Heim as they waited for the cattle to cross.
Heim said she had glanced in her mirror and noticed a pickup approaching behind her.
"It looked like he was coming full tilt. I knew he wasn't slowing down so I turned away," she said.
She doesn't remember too much after that.
The eastbound 2005 Chevy pickup registered to Theodore Laumann of Sterling, Colo., slammed into the rear of Heim's car, which then careened into Nordhausen's.
That impact also pushed the Nordhausen vehicle into Maddux's 2001 Chevy extended cab pickup pulled off on the right shoulder of the highway.
During the chain reaction, Maddux was knocked to the ground after being grazed by the Colorado pickup.
"The pickup was sliding sideways. I was waving the flag as best I could," he said.
Maddux said last Wednesday he was fine and escaped with no major injuries.
"We feel very lucky and glad no one was hurt very bad," he said.
After the collision, Deputy Mueller called in for assistance, and also alerted Imperial EMS, which sent one ambulance to the scene.
Sheriff Mueller arrived on the scene and called in the State Patrol, so he and the deputy could direct traffic onto the highway's shoulders in both directions around the accident scene.
Heim was transported to Chase County Community Hospital, where she was treated and released.
The State Patrol continues to investigate the incident.

Bianca's Emboar
this wiki
This Emboar is her main and Starter Pokémon, and also Bianca's most powerful Pokémon.
As a Tepig, Bianca had to train it at home because of her father. Her father made her a deal to get a Starter Pokémon, she had to stay home and wait until she turns 12 years old to start her journey with Tepig. So later she trained her Tepig at home and later evolved into Pignite.
It made its first on-screen appearance in Minccino-Neat and Tidy! where it battled a wild Minccino but was defeated by its Hyper Voice and Tickle combo, and it also battled Ash's Pikachu but it was defeated by its Volt Tackle attack.
In Emolga the Irresistible!, Pignite was used by Bianca to help her track down an Emolga she wanted to catch, but unfortunately while looking it made a wild Scolipede angry after he attacked it with Flamerhrower. In the next episode it battle Iris's newly caught Emolga, Emolga used Attract on Pignite and used Volt Switch, which instead of calling out one of Iris's other Pokémon it call out Ash's Snivy, the battle continued but no winner was seen.
Pignite has been in 2 gym battles by himself since it was the only Pokémon Bianca had. That made him a powerhouse Pokémon in her team since its battle against Elesa's Zebstrika in Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader! He was the only one who is strong enough for him and stayed in the longest in battle but eventually lost as the final Pokémon.
It appeared in Search for the Clubultimate!, where it was shown to have evolved. Everyone was surprised to see this. It was used to battle Trip's Conkeldurr in the 1st round of the Clubsplosion, it was shown to have a lot of difficulty in landing a hit on Conkeldurr and was getting beaten by it, but it was able to counter against Conkelldurr by using its newly learned move fling to throw back its own boulders, knocking it out off the battle. Later it was used again in the 2nd round battle Georgia's Bisharp where it was easily able to defeat it with a powerful Flamethrower, letting Bianca go in to the semifinals. In the semifinal match it went up against Stephan's Sawk, it first used its hammer arm but it could land it and was hit back by a combo of Sawk's Bulk Up and Karate Chop, its attacks again proved too slow against Sawk's fast movements and was finally taken down by a close combat knocking Bianca off the tournament.
Emboar once against appeared in Curtain Up, Unova League!, it was used in the first round of the Unova League against Michael's Watchog and won the battle easily. In Mission: Defeat Your Rival!, it was used again in Bianca's battle against Cameron. Emboar defeated Cameron's Samurott, but was quickly defeated by Cameron's Riolu, resulting in her losing the battle and her elimination from the tournament.

WCCO's Mark Rosen Visits Royalton
WCCO television sportscaster Mark Rosen is a superb storyteller. Rosen was at the Royalton Public Library on Friday evening, Nov. 2 to talk about his book, Best Seat in the House. He entertained the audience with stories from his forty years of covering sports in Minnesota. He started the evening with the details of how he began working at WCCO. He was just 17, a high school intern, and it was the era of smoke filled newsrooms where reporters used typewriters to complete their stories. He shared his personal experiences from the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York where the Miracle On Ice resulted in the USA men's ice hockey team winning the gold medal. Rosen graciously autographed books and posed for photos with audience members, all of whom enjoyed his presentation.

After my two years of active duty in the U. S. Transportation Corps, in 1968 I joined the Santa Fe Mechanical Department and was based in Topeka, Kansas. My Santa Fe career extended for about 14 years with stops in Kansas City (twice), Fort Madison, Iowa and Topeka (twice). I began my Santa Fe career as the first ever management trainee in the Mechanical Department. From that point I spent time in Industrial Engineering at the Car Shops In Topeka, Kansas. My next assignment was as an ASDE (Assistant Supervisor Diesel Engines) in Kansas City (Argentine Locomotive Shops) and then in Fort Madison. After 15 months of riding riding trains/locomotives as a troubleshooter, I returned to Argentine Locomotive Shops as a 2nd shift ramp foreman.
Santa Fe made the decision to try one more time to make a go of the refrigerated traffic business. At that time I was assigned to the General Car Inspectors office in Topeka with my main responsibilities to design, implement and manage a data system to monitor the performance of Santa Fe's refrigerated fleet - both cars (MTCs) and vans. The system as designed was one of the first "total" data bases in the mechanical side of the railroad industry. In addition to the mechanical records for each piece of equipment we brought in movement history, waybills, Refrigeration Department line-of-road inspections, traffic data and claims. A complete picture was painted so that management could evaluate and make more informed decisions going forward.
Remaining in Topeka at the Motive Power Building, home of the Mechanical Department staff, I was made a Department Head with the goal of designing a total Mechanical Department information system.
I left the Santa Fe in 1981 to pursue a change in my railroading career from the Class Is to Short Line - as Chief Mechanical Officer of the Ann Arbor Railroad.
The images in this Gallery reflect Santa Fe operations, equipment and my work experiences while I was there.
What a tornado can do to a train. Derailment of a Santa Fe freight just west of Marcelene, MO. The accident was caused by a tornado hitting the moving, eastbound, train. Wreckage was over a quarter of a mile away from the track. I was riding in the cab of a very late Amtrak Southwest Limited when I took the picture. 5/1971.

Man crashes his car into photo radar van in Tucson
TUCSON, AZ - A man is in custody in Tucson after allegedly crashing his car into a parked photo radar van.
Tucson police say 25-year-old Matthew Jones is being held on suspicion of felony criminal damage and driving under the influence.
He was arrested after the New Year's Day accident in the midtown area.
Police say Jones' vehicle veered off the road and struck the radar van.
American Traffic Solutions operates the vans. A company employee was inside the vehicle when the crash occurred, but escaped injury.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that Jones and his passenger also weren't injured.
Police didn't immediately know Wednesday whether Jones had a lawyer yet for his case.

I wish this team would figure out what the difference between a good shot and a bad shot is. Lots of opportunities today to get the win and it seemed like almost every time they would hoist up a bad shot.
We give new meaning to pathetically embarrassing.
A&M reminded me of Baylor from last year. Both tried to hand us the game. We actually took the offer last year.
This year, we can't even capitalize on gifts.
This team has been in most every game this year. Some of the tangibles have improved including rebounding, FT shooting and effort but like the last seasons we hyst can't get over the hump. GMac needs to get lucky and get that 1 players that brings every night when the lights come on.
I'm still on board.
I think we just had too high of expectations coming into the season. Fans need to expect a 10th or 11th place finish each year. Any higher than that and we are asking for too much.

I hope D.G. finds a elementary school over the summer so that he can practice some lay-up drills. He had a nice mid-range game today but again missed a few bunnies.
I'm encouraged that apathy hasn't set in for me yet. I was very much into that game late.
We need a coaching change but I still care about this team. I'm starting to feel bad for the players at this point.

Not only is it frustrating to lose, but there is NOTHING enjoyable about watching this basketball team. Boring basketball and boring and uninspired players leads to what we have been subjected to all year.

Maven is a Yiddish word that means connoisseur; in other words, a person who can discern quality. A food maven could therefore also be called a gourmet, but we won't be using that word here. I jokingly refer to the word "gourmet" as the "g" word. I don't like to use it because it has become so overused and abused. After all, nowadays, even convenience stores call themselves "gourmet groceries." Gourmet has also come to mean fancy food, and although you may well find some fancy recipes here, or a review of a fancy restaurant, or an item on an expensive wine, or a reference to an esoteric food product, for the most part this is a place to find down-to-earth advice on everyday cooking, eating, food shopping, cooking equipment, and nice things to put on your table. I'm a real food know-it-all.
The New York Times Magazine called Arthur Schwartz "a walking Google of food and restaurant knowledge." As the restaurant critic and executive food editor of the New York Daily News , which he was for 18 years, he was called The Schwartz Who Ate New York . Nowadays, he is best known as The Food Maven , the name of this web site. Whatever the sobriquet, he is acknowledged as one of the country's foremost experts on food, cooking, culinary history, restaurants, and restaurant history.

Megadeth -- Oklahoma City, OK -- December 3rd, 2009
My girlfriend, Lacee, and our friends, BJ and Phil, got to the venue super early. Waited in the car until people started showing up then Lacee and I went to wait in line and freeze our asses off while BJ and Phil sat in the car likes pussies. Finally got in after about 2 hours of waiting in line and got center rail. Gave Lacee money to get a shirt and CD so she could meet Dave Mustaine. Arcanium came on after about 45 minutes and they were nothing special. The keyboardist was pretty hot though, and the drummer was good.
Suicide Silence came on and the cock suckery began. BJ and I slowly and obviously put our ear plugs in and laughed. And I have to say...Suicide Silence is very tolerable if you have ear plugs in. The guitarist did some sweeps which surprised the shit out of us until he did the same exact one in another song. All their songs sucked and sounded the same and the vocalist is a huge faggot. Best part about their performance was the crowd surfers, because Phil and I punched the shit out of them. We hit a ton of cock sucking hardcore dancers this night. Phil hit one right in the tooth which caused his finger to bleed a lot. Doing this passed the time very quickly and before I knew it, Suicide Silence was off the stage.
Machine Head came on and I switched my girlfriend places so I could be on the rail. I screamed every word to Imperium and Rob Flynn stared at me and screamed back the entire time. Adam Duce smiled at Lacee and I a lot. During Struck A Nerve I had to shove Lacee back in front of me because a bunch of douche bags were smashing her which pissed me off and made me hit the crowd surfers even harder. Phil got two guitar picks from Rob and BJ got one, Phil gave me his extra one. After Struck A Nerve they brought the retarded looking guitarist from Suicide Silence on stage and played/sang happy birthday to him and then drank some beer. Then they played From This Day, which was unexpected because I don't think they've played it at any other show for this tour. The birthday guy stage dived and pissed security off. Halo was fucking amazing to hear/see live. I got goosebumps more than once. Suicide Silence came out to help sing Davidian, but I couldn't hear their pussy voices so it was ok. Machine Head puts on a great fucking show and I will definitely be seeing them again.
Ten Ton Hammer
Struck A Nerve
Happy Birthday
From This Day
Beautiful Mourning
Megadeth took forever to come on but when they did the entire place went fucking crazy and I almost thought I was going to get even more smashed than I was at the Lamb Of God show in Kansas City, so I grabbed the rail and held on as hard as I could so Lacee wouldn't be smashed and I pretty much stayed like that for the entire set except for when I had to cover our heads because of crowd surfers. The sound was great and that first solo was fucking amazing. Dave and Chris (who my girlfriend now wants to fuck) are some bad ass fucking guitarists. The crowd went nuts the whole time. Apparently last time Megadeth was in OKC it was for the Rust In Piece tour and Marty Friedman picked up two 15 year old girls and brought them with them all the way to Florida and the FBI followed them. The crowd thought this was hilarious. In the middle of Trust, Phil had to get picked up over the rail because he was dehydrated and about to pass out (pussy). Not too much longer after that BJ did the same thing but it was because he was so smashed. Security didn't help him over. The crowd fucking THREW his ass over. He went really fucking high and I thought he was going to bust his face on the stage but he walked off unscarred. Some dumb ass got over the rail without security noticing and jumped up on stage, but as soon as he did, security grabbed him and swung his ass to the ground and kicked him out. He got back in through the back door. Lacee was worried about Phil so we shoved our way through the crowd to the back to see if he was ok and he had already downed two bottles of water and seemed fine. For the rest of the show we sat and watched and looked at the pictures we got. During Holy Wars someone fucked up on the solo and BJ almost pissed himself out of surprise. After the show Lacee waited in line to meet Dave and security made me leave because I didn't have a wrist band so I went out to Machine Head's bus and got a picture with Rob Flynn and Dave McClain, then security made me leave the bus area. Dick heads. Waited for Lacee in the car and when she got in she was all giddy and excited about meeting Dave Mustaine and James Lomenzo. Dave told her she was beautiful so she was happy, which made me happy. Great fucking show overall.

Crowd Surfing is terrible. It's never like it should be, passing the person slowly over, hand by hand. It's always Throwing the guy as hard as you guy over you.
I hate crowd surfers
Why waste time with the worst Machine Head song they've ever done?
Like in the pit, every once in a while you get stupid people doing stupid shit. But most of the time it's all gravy. I do it every once in a while.

I can't stand crowd sufers either. I've been kicked in the head on a number of ocassions. But it's all on them they should realize how dumb the whole thing is. Everyone is looking at the stage so they aren't gonna see you coming up from behind so it doesn't make any sense we shouldn't have to look out for you idiots and ruin the enjoyment of the show were trying to watch. My bro had his knee messed up for a few weeks after a show because he didn't see a surfer behind him and the person landed on my bro's leg when he fell to the ground.
It's seems like such a simple concept if people don't see you coming why the hell would you crowd surf and put your well being in the hands of strangers at the show? I've never helped someone crowd surf before if they're stupid enough to do it they can land on their head for all I care.
At least with a mosh pit you can see where it is and can avoid it most of the time.
From This Day? Really? Shit, they might as well put on orange jumpsuits and play "Crashing Around You" while they're at it.
i heard they played fucking hostile. i dont think it was from this day

Complete Review of the Dodge Ram 1500 and the Ford F-150 Lariate Edition.
There's one silver lining in our current downturn. With so many trucks operating at less-than-full capacity, fleet managers have the time to study what their purchasing options will be for the next engine update. Luckily, the effect of the engine emission upgrade will hit about the time our economy will be rising to full throttle.
The crux of the choice is the type of emission reduction strategy that is best for your fleet. To understand the differences, one needs a short review of diesel exhaust pollutants and how each emissions reduction strategy helps achieve EPA limits.
In October 2002, when, due to penalties for earlier violations, EPA forced most enginemakers to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) to meet the 2004 standard of 2.5 grams per horsepower-hour (g/hp-hr), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) was the universally accepted strategy.
EGR drew exhaust gas from the tailpipe, cooled it in an under-hood heat exchanger using engine coolant, and introduced the exhaust gas back into the cylinders through the intake air. This diluted the intake air with inert exhaust, slowing the process and lowering the engines' combustion temperatures. That reduced NOx.
But EGR raised under-hood temperatures and put added stress on cooling systems. Components had to be redesigned to withstand higher temperatures.
The next emissions restrictions in 2007 required 90% less particulate matter (PM), including soot. The limits, which were 0.10 g/hp-hr, dropped to 0.01 g/hp-hr.
Control of PM is done in a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Exhaust flows into a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) that starts the chemical conversion of soot to inert carbon dioxide (CO2). Any remaining solids are then trapped in an ultra-fine ceramic filter. When the filter starts to clog, raw diesel fuel is sprayed over another catalyst, raising the internal temperature enough to oxidize the carbon soot and convert it to CO2 in an active regeneration process. The ongoing catalytic conversion is passive regeneration.
In Europe, where NOx has been targeted in recent years, truck manufacturers have used selective catalytic reduction (SCR). This process injects diluted urea into an exhaust after-treatment device. The urea is a catalyst to help chemically change the oxides back to pure nitrogen and oxygen, the two major components of air.
As urea levels drop, warnings are issued to the driver. If the urea is not replenished in a timely manner, engine power is reduced until more is added. In North America, the urea is called diesel emission fluid, or DEF.
In a survey conducted by Braun Research, of more than 300 class 5 to 8 truck operators with purchasing authority, 51% preferred EGR only; 24% preferred SCR. Their reasons were higher engine prices, reliability, added maintenance costs and new maintenance requirements, and added weight. Navistar commissioned the study.

CANTON -- In the 1920s some amazing theaters were built in Northeast Ohio from the Hanna to the State to the Akron Civic.
Joe Cronauer recently went to Canton to celebrate the rebirth and renovation of a landmark theater. So get the lights, start the projector -- we're about to see the remaking of a classic.
Monday, November 22, 1926: Americans were enjoying the Charleston craze and paying 14 cents for a gallon of gas and the beautiful million-dollar Canton Palace Theatre opened on Market Avenue as the Mighty Kilgen pipe organ played music over silent movies.
READ | Inside Ohio's monstrous special effects studio
Jump forward 50 years to 1976: The theater is a week away from the wrecking ball.
That's when the Canton Jaycees and the community stepped in.
The Canton Palace Theatre Association was formed and the theater was reopened in 1980 and the restoration began.
"There's things that need to be done and there's things that need to be renovated," Chip Conde, president of the Palace Theatre board, says. "And the creaking bones are starting to be heard and we need to get them fixed.
A year ago, they approached the local foundations in Stark County and presented a list of emergency "must haves" they need to keep the theater open. They set a goal of $1.2 million dollars.
"With those funds we've replaced the ceiling, we've replaced the roof, we have replaced the 86-year-old plumbing in the building, we've replaced all of our outdoor lights to LED lights, we've replaced our windows," says Georgia Paxos, executive director of the Canton Palace Theatre Association.
But there haven't reached their goal yet.
This past November, the Canton Palace Theatre Association asked the public to pitch in.
"We still have $300,000 left to raise to make the finishing touches to restore the palace to what it looked like in its original glory in 1926," Paxos says.
Finishing touches like the 86-year-old outside façade, the carpet throughout the entire theatre and restoring furniture.
The color, the vibrance, it's all coming back. The projection booth, original fixtures still intact. The restored concession stand with affordable candy prices and a ticket window with an 86-year-old ticket machine that still works. The stars, built into the ceiling, are once again shining.
How much does it cost to see a movie in the Canton Palace Theatre? Just $5.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mini Pumps in stock than that.View Similar Products
Portland Design Works Big Silver Pump $0.00
When it comes to inflation, we typically adopt the form follows function approach to design. This could be derivative of never having our cake and eating too, or just from the hassle of being stranded because of a faulty pump design. However, since its inception, Portland Design Works has been resetting the mold of inflation technology. PDW's Big Silver Pump is the happy marriage between aesthetics and efficiency. Finally, a pump worthy of frame-display that actually works.
Portland Design Works' Big Silver Pump is made from a mix of forged and machined aluminum alloy. This construction provides a few distinct advantages -- lighter weight, increased durability, and a beautiful finish. Starting with weight, the Big Silver tips the scales around a low 128g. And considering that the 29.5cm body provides phenomenal leverage, and thus greater output, this is a small weight to pay for the quality of inflation that it renders. For durability, the forging process means everything. During forging, the aluminum is shaped throughout the process (instead of being set in a cast) creating a continuous grain throughout the body. While this heightens its strength characteristics, our favorite aspect of the Big Silver's long lifespan has to be the replaceable working parts. All of the inner hardware can be removed and replaced, ensuring that this pumped will outlast you.
The pump gets its name from the polished, nearly-mirrored body finish. At the end of the main cylinder, you'll find the pump head. PDW has made it a breeze to switch between Schrader and Presta by including a three-piece, interchangeable assembly. There's no tools involved, and with the long-stroke handle, you're guaranteed to experience a smooth and efficient inflation process for either valve type.
The Portland Design Works Big Silver Pump is available in the color Silver and in a 29.5cm (11.5in) size. The pump also includes a Silver mounting bracket.

Bad product; looks pretty; doesn't work
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is probably one of the worst product, not just biking related but the absolute worst product I've ever bought.
Pros: Very compact, nice metal design
Cons: Barely works. It will take you literal hundreds if not thousands of pumps to bring up the pressure slightly. We had changed a friend's tube after a flat and it took three of us about an hour using this pump before the pressure was acceptable to where he could start riding. Another time, I measured my tire before a ride and decide to top it off; after about 15 minutes of solid pumping, the pressure went up by a whole two pounds. I've lent it to numerous people to see if I was doing something wrong and no one was able to use it effective. I would recommend you buy something more functional.
Great pump
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Beautiful pump that is very well made. A pleasure to use because of its size, doesn't get lost in my hands like my smaller pumps.

Any idea what might be causing this oil leak?
I'm using Mobil 1 full synth 10w40, no leaks. Full synth is more prone to leaking from small gaps than dino oil but first I'd suspect a pinched o-ring, loose bolt, or tiny piece of grit somewhere on the sealing surface.Scott
Of course to check this you'd need to remove the cover which would drain all the oil. If you don't want to buy new oil just get a clean aluminum disposable baking pan at the grocery store. Then you can collect the oil and put it back into the engine if you want, without the contamination of whatever gunk live in your normal drain pan.Scott
Mine leaks a few drops, just like yours, keeps the rust away. I just put a pan with kitty litter under it and call it good.
My AVL engine with 3 drain plugs and a British design oil filter, don't leak a drop.

We launched 13WMAZ-TV's new look Tuesday during the Midday newscast.
If you missed it, or you just want another look, here's what you'll see:
The weather graphics will also get a makeover. The new look is simple and clean. It allows the 13WMAZ meteorologists to clearly explain the week's weather and makes it easier for you to understand.
Some viewers may notice the wording on the graphics seem cut off on the screen -- or you may never see the third line -- but this means your television setting may need to be changed.
In most cases, this is caused by the viewing option for the screen to be on a zoom or stretch setting. To put your screen in the right aspect ratio, cycle through the screen options until you see the correct full image.
Most remotes have a button that can be used to change this setting. Check out the photo to see if your remote has one of these options. If you can't find this on your remote, you will need to enter your television menu setting to make the change there.
Or, if you need, please call us for help.
The new look comes after extensive research and is based on feedback from viewers like you.
Here are some highlights:
You'll also hear new music to accompany our new look. This new song celebrates our wonderful community and the people who make it great. It's called "This Is Home" and we think you'll like it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by jamester Great taste and low calorie/sugar free This is my favorite jam. Taste great on english muffins. Rhubarb and Raspberries are two of my favorite fruits.
