Comments about WARRIOR 1019876 Warrior Men's Evolution X Lacrosse Head:
Great head. Bought it and used it for a full season to meet new stick specs. I feel it is tougher and more durable than the regular evo, and doesnt bend or warp with repeated pokes. Pinched enough to keep control, but still easy to catch with. Easy to string and works well for deep pocket with lots of hold. I would reccommend this head for anyone looking for a solid dependable head for pretty much any level player. Cant go wrong with this one.

London 2012: Meera Syal and Julie Walters excited about London 2012 Festival
14:23 26 April 2012
Justin Setterfield LOCOG
Actresses Meera Syal and Julie Walters have said they are excited to be part of the cultural events surrounding the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The pair were speaking at the Tower of London at the launch of the London 2012 Festival programme, which will see 12,000 events from music to theatre to art installations, take place across the country during the Games.
Walters will be in The Last of the Haussmans, a new play at the National Theatre, and says the cultural events around the London 2012 Games are a positive thing for the country.
She said: "It's really exciting. It lifts the nation when there's something going on. People need it.
"I think it's brilliant we are part of a wider festival that isn't just the sport.
"It's gorgeous and a fantastic mix of stuff that's going to lift London. I feel really proud of it."
Syal is to make her Shakespeare debut in Much Ado About Nothing in Stratford-Upon-Avon before the play transfers to London.
She said: "I'm really terrified and really excited.
"I am thrilled to be part of the historic nature of the London 2012 Festival."
Also at the launch of the festival programme were The Noisettes and Giles Peterson.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Kenyan's military said late Sunday it had rescued "most" of the remaining hostages held by al-Qaida-linked militants in an upscale Nairobi mall after launching a major operation to end a two-day standoff that had already killed 68 people.
The military assault, which began shortly before sundown, came as two helicopters circled the mall, with one skimming very close to the roof. A loud explosion rang out, far larger than any previous grenade blast or gunfire volley.
Kenyan police said on Twitter that a "MAJOR" assault had started to end the bloody siege.

Relatives help a woman at the Nairobi City Mortuary on Sunday after she identified the body of a victim of the Saturday attack at a mall in Kenya.
"This will end tonight. Our forces will prevail. Kenyans are standing firm against aggression, and we will win," Kenya's National Disaster Operation Centre said on Twitter.
Kenya Defence Forces later said it had rescued most hostages and had taken control of most of the mall.
Many of the rescued hostages - mostly adults - were suffering from dehydration, Col. Cyrus Oguna, a military spokesman, said. Oguna refused to release the number of hostages rescued or those still being held. He said some of the attackers had "most probably" been killed in the operation, which began in the morning and culminated in the evening.
The assault came about 30 hours after 10 to 15 al-Shabab extremists stormed the mall Saturday from two sides, throwing grenades and firing on civilians.
Loud exchanges of gunfire emanated from inside the four-story upscale mall throughout Sunday. Kenyan troops were seen carrying in at least two rocket propelled grenades. Al-Shabab militants reacted angrily to the helicopters on Twitter and warned that the Kenyan military action was endangering hostages.
Kenyan officials said they would do their utmost to save hostages' lives, but no officials could say precisely how many hostages were inside. Kenya's Red Cross said in a statement citing police that 49 people had been reported missing. Officials did not make an explicit link but that number could give an indication of the number of people held captive.
Kenya's Red Cross said the death toll on Sunday rose to 68 after nine bodies were recovered in a joint rescue mission.
A State Department spokeswoman condemned the "despicable massacre of innocent men, women and children." U.S. law enforcement, military and civilian personnel in Nairobi were providing advance and assistance as requested by Kenya, spokeswoman Marie Harf said.
Somalia's al-Qaida-linked rebel group, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the attack that specifically targeted non-Muslims. The attackers included some women. The Islamic extremist rebels said the attack was retribution for Kenyan forces' 2011 push into neighboring Somalia.

you're shopping for one of the most expensive vehicles on the road, you expect
a certain amount of luxury.
So it's no surprise that in
J.D. Power and Associates' list of the 10
most expensive 2007 vehicles, even the base
models often sport leather seats, top-of-the-line
stereos, wood interior trim and automatic
everything. J.D. Power and Associates doesn't
track some of the superexotics, like Ferrari
and Lamborghini, so its "top 10" list is comprised
of the popular, but pricey models.
Many of these autos also offer
some pretty nifty safety features as standard
equipment, from side-impact and head-curtain
airbags, to road-hugging abilities that limit
skidding and parking sensors that warn if
something is too close.
Here are the 10 most expensive
models of 2007, along with the average purchase
price for each -- what the customer pays walking
out the door, rather than the price on the
window. Payments aren't the only expense you'll
incur with one of these autos. All are outfitted
with larger (6- to 12-cylinder) engines and
have a 300-horsepower minimum (a few boast
400-, 500- or 600-horsepower versions), so
they really guzzle
One thing you won't find for
these eight cars and two sport utility vehicles
is safety data. None of these vehicles are
currently rated by either the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety.
If you've got a taste for luxury
and money to burn, a few select automakers
might have just the thing for your garage.

Thu Jun 11 12:31:55 EDT 2009, Recife, Brazil
Recife building and statue. This is in a somewhat touristy area (Marca Zero) of the city, where all the shops and buildings are pretty well preserved.
Tue Jun 2 12:02:52 EDT 2009, Rio Paraguacu, Bahia, Brazil
Pretty sailboat motoring into the mouth of Rio Paraguacu in a flat calm.
Fri May 29 7:34:09 EDT 2009, Recife, Brazil
Little floating clumps of weed that drift back and forth with the tide frequently hold birds in Recife harbor.
Thu May 28 8:46:31 EDT 2009, Recife, Brazil
There are lots of these birds in Recife Harbor.
Wed May 27 10:19:53 EDT 2009, Porto do Suape, PE, Brazil
I needed to do some work on the propellers (change and inspect the anodes), which was much easier to do with them out of the water.
I took the boat about 20 miles south of Recife to Porto do Suape. There is a significant commercial harbor there, as well as a very shallow, sandy harbor, where I wanted to beach the boat near high tide so the propellers would be out of the water at low tide. There is a pleasant village in the shallow harbor.
The shallow part of Suape being, well, shallow, I went aground about ten times on the way in...much of the time staying about 10 metres off a reef, where the deepest water was, for two miles. All the groundings were on sand, and the tide was rising, so none were a problem--just lift the keel a little more and proceed. While doing all this running aground I realized that not always does just lifting the keel free you from the bottom, as lifting the keel also means the weight of the keel is no longer partly supported by the bottom, so the hull floats a bit lower as the keel is raised--this is only an issue when the keel is almost all the way up. The workaround, of course, is to ensure you only go aground on a rising tide, as you would do without a lifting keel :).
The tidal range was about 1.6m, so the boat always remained partly in the water, but it was far enough out of the water to easily work on the propellers.
nice pictures, nice trip and nice boat:)
I hope you enjoyed Salvador?
Mon May 25 9:33:34 EDT 2009, Recife, Brazil
This is one of the dozen or so ferries that take people across Recife harbor. Two have outboards (one of which is reliable, one isn't), the rest are solely powered by oars.
One day, on a trip across in the ferry with the unreliable outboard, I had the opportunity to row the boat while the owner was cleaning the spark plug to get the engine restarted. The engine did restart, but I'd rowed to the other side by the time it did. The boats are relatively heavy, flat-bottomed wooden boats, and row slowly but surely.
Sun May 24 23:59:00 EDT 2009, Recife, Brazil
No oarlocks, thole pins (sticks of wood) are used instead. The rope that holds the oar to the thole pin goes around the side of the thole pin facing away from the rower.
The black piece on the oar is a length of plastic pipe for chafe protection. The white on the black is just some spilled paint.
The blades of the oars tend to be bolted to the shaft of the oars with a couple of stainless steel bolts.
Fri May 22 13:39:12 EDT 2009, Recife, Brazil
Recife, just visible in the background, is laid out as a long city, running for several miles along the beach.
Fri May 22 0:01:00 EDT 2009, Recife, Brazil
I guess putting a big umbrella on a boat is a good, cheap way to stay cool in the tropical sun.
This was taken in the entrance to Recife harbor.
Thu May 21 14:13:07 EDT 2009, Recife, Brazil
This is a working sailboat in Recife harbor. Many similar rowboats are used for fishing here. They fish mostly by casting nets. Few of the rowboats have added a sail, like this one did.
The rowboats are simple, wooden, flat-bottom craft.

CGE Pro Review
Posted 17 January 2011 - 05:49 PM
By Jim Welisek.
Posted 27 January 2011 - 03:25 AM
I'm writing to you because I have a very big problem with my cge pro that anybody can solve.
as you can see form this video ( http://www.youtube.c...?v=Y-eAqRxzU5Y) have problem with motors and the mount can't be used.
All is properly balanced and this is the second mount that i change for the same problem, of course in warranty.
Before shipping the mount in california (i'm writing you from italy) i would like to know your opinion about this.
Thank you very much
Posted 27 January 2011 - 09:20 AM
Hopefully there is a solution without sending it back to Celestron. The service experience I had with them with the original CGE was disturbing.
Posted 27 January 2011 - 10:12 AM
I would like to try also to have more amps in order to give to the motors more power.
If it is possible can you detail what you where explaining about the bolts or tell where i can search?
Posted 27 January 2011 - 10:16 AM
which maximum weight to you recommend should have a guiding scope in order to avoid problem to the mount during astrophotography sessions?
thank you again
Posted 27 January 2011 - 10:46 AM
The mount is rated for 90 lbs but a good rule of thumb is to only put 2/3rds the amount of weight which would be 60 lbs. I am running a C14 with a 100mm f9 guidescope. The mount seems to handle the weight fairly well.
The mount is a good mount from a tracking standpoint, it does very well. When I got the mount it had two serious problems right out of the box. Once I got those solved and figured out how to run the cabling without getting it snagged up on all the knobs the rount is doing ok.
I also posted in the Mounts forum do direct those that may be able to help to this thread.
Posted 27 January 2011 - 11:16 AM
Posted 27 January 2011 - 11:17 AM
My *only* note is that you cannot properly evaluate the goto performance of the mount if you aligned it through the C14. I also run a C14 on mine and the alignment/goto performance is ok, but nothing special. However, when aligned through my refractor, the goto performance is spot-on. The mirror flop in the C14 seems to limit the accuracy of the pointing model to a small area around the target. I overcame this with the "Precise Goto" function... which works remarkably well.
Posted 27 January 2011 - 03:45 PM
To be honest, the few CGE Pro folks that I have talked to, (don't know many) but every one of them has some "problem" with the mount right out of the box.
Candidly I asked a vendor friend of mine that sells them, "What's the real failure rate on the Pros?". He told me what he has experienced, and then said, "... and that's not for publication...".
I can only go on my own exerience, but it really gets me wondering if Celestron is going the same route as Meade. I sure hope they get a handle on customer service and ditch the "we're too big to fail" mentality. I had a lot of issues with getting the old CGE repaired. You have to pay up front for the repairs and there is no real 'delivery date' until you start procedings to get your money back. That tells me they either don't have enough people hired and trained, they are overloaded with warrantee repairs or they are having cashflow problems. It really concerns me once the Pro is out of warrantee. I certainly hope that they have straightened out their issues by then and/or are still in business.

I'm not sure if these are what you are referring to, but you can buy size "M" (2.1mm x 5.5mm) DC coaxial plugs with locking collars from Mouser Electronics. They are part number 171-7391. I bought a bunch of these for use with my Paramount ME -- before I switched over to using separate through the mount wiring with Anderson power pole connectors.
The Pro with this collar on the power cord eliminates this issue. It also makes it a little more difficult to replace the power cord with a shorter, heavy duty one unless you want butt-splice the original "M" connector and collar on it.

I'm writing to you because I have a very big problem with my cge pro that anybody can solve.
as you can see form this video ( http://www.youtube.c...?v=Y-eAqRxzU5Y) have problem with motors and the mount can't be used.
All is properly balanced and this is the second mount that i change for the same problem, of course in warranty.
Before shipping the mount in california (i'm writing you from italy) i would like to know your opinion about this.
Thank you very much
I had a very similar issue (both ra and dec):
I contacted the vendor who had a celestron rep call me the same day. they arranged for it to be shipped back. I was told it arrived there and was further damaged in shipping about three weeks ago... still waiting to hear back.
Luckily, it's pretty much been cloudy for the past to months anyway, so i'm not yet ready to complain and I have high hopes. I know sometimes things go wrong and so far the service and response has been great; so i have high hopes for getting it back and having it happily function when it does!
I'd recommend you contact you vendor and/or celestron. Dinkering around with the worm will probably impact your warranty.

Dinkering around with the worm will probably impact your warranty.
What you say is probably true about possibly voiding the warranty. Unless it's a simple fix or you know what you are doing, I would consider returning it, but there are risks there too.
The folks I know that have had Pros and problems got good service fairly quickly. My concern is for out of warranty repairs. What happens when the $5,000 dollar mount needs to be repaired out of warranty? I really got the impression "out of warranty, out of mind". That concerns me.

The service seemed great - several phone calls to let me know what the status was and everything seems to be in working order again!
I hope you find the same level of service when your Pro needs to be repaired out of warranty.

BTW, this is the first time I've heard the term "fair and balanced" used in a factual context, if you catch my drift.
Posted 16 January 2012 - 05:13 AM
What is upsetting and I sympathize with the OP greatly on this, if the problem is deemed a mechanical defect why wasn't it caught before being shipped all the way to Italy? When we ship products overseas we know once it leaves, its expensive and a hassle to bring it back. So we make sure everything is right before shipping. This is where QC has to be at it's very best, no excuse if the problem could have been caught beforehand.

ATLANTA (AP) - Just like last year, the Braves lost out on a spot in the NL division series to the St. Louis Cardinals. Only this time, Atlanta was knocked out with the help of what will be remembered as one of the most disputed infield fly calls in baseball history.

Oakmont's Kuresa, former T-wolves Black and Wolford drafted
By: Kurt Johnson, The Press Tribune
Oakmont High first baseman Tyler Kuresa was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 11th round of the Major League Baseball draft Tuesday. The Viking star has signed a letter of intent to play college baseball at the University of Oregon beginning next season, and will now decide between those two options. Former Woodcreek High and Woodcreek Little League star Danny Black was also selected Tuesday. The infielder who is currently a junior at the University of Oklahoma was taken in the 14th round by the Florida Marlins. Black plays in the NCAA Super Regional round this weekend, as he and his Sooner teammates try to win a best-of-three with Virginia to earn a spot in the College World Series. Another former Timberwolf, Daniel Wolford, was also taken in the fourth round Tuesday, as Cal senior Daniel Wolford was selected by the Cincinnati Reds. Check back later at rosevillept.com and placersports.com for more details and a full story on Kuresa's selection and decision and much more on the draft.

Orchard Park, NY (Sports Network) - The Buffalo Bills have placed the
franchise tag on safety Jairus Byrd.
The two-time Pro Bowl selection has started 57 of 62 games since joining the
Bills as a second-round pick in the 2009 draft. He is tied for third in the
NFL with 18 interceptions since 2009 and last year tied for the AFC lead with
five picks.
Under the designation, Byrd will earn the average of the top-five players at
his position in 2013 or 120 percent of his salary from 2012, whichever is
greater. He can still work out a long-term contract with the Bills.

Would like to raise a possible improvement on appointment scheduling. When I receive an appointment, there is a "Repeats" section that describes how the appointment will re-occur in future,
Repeats: Every Wednesday End after 10 occurrence(s) Effective Aug 15, 2011
To be frank, I could not understand this sentence very well at first sight, I guess the reason is simply no commas or any other separator, and no preposition used (correct me if this is not right)?
Does the following sounds more clear?
Repeats: On Every Wednesday, for 10 occurrence(s), Effective from Aug 15, 2011

State to provide grants for generators

NYSASSRS has 3,000 statewide members, and about 80 in the Town of Hempstead, according to Bombardiere. "It got us out from under the local laws, it gave us some money to do it," he said. "It's still distasteful that we have to do it, though."

I always liked this site to look at the aerial/satellite shots. You have to zoom in closer to get the aerial shots. use the menue on the upper right corner. Anyone else use it?

I use Cadastral for ownership, but once I added topos to Google Earth, I just use it for satellite and topo.
Does anyone have access to a plotter? If so what maps do you use or site do you use to print your own topos? Im looking for good quality large scale images I can print.
I print off the NatGeo TOPO software.
I get my maps from MyTopo.com but like the site above for the Aerial /Satellite views you can zoom in pretty close on the site above.
On my Garmin 62s I use the Garmin software that came with it. Mark
You know you can print Google Earth to take with you offline. In Google Earth, just choose edit, then copy, paste the current view into Word, set the Word margins to narrow and the orientation to landscape, up the brightness and contrast, then print. If you have a tablet or phone you can download the Word file onto that. You just need a free MS Office app.
You can also download free unlimited USGS topo maps as pdf files and carry them offline on your laptop, tablet or phone. I did that on my recent bear trip. You can still zoom and pan the maps offline.
Can't spell scum without U&M... Go 'Cats!
I have access to a plotter at work. I guess I should look into what kind of paper I can print on it. I've kind of liked the waterproof topo maps and just get one at the REI or send away for a copy. Having a big copy of a detail sat to view mark up and plan out is not a bad idea though. Seeing the view on sat view and then on foot and planing routes can/does look easier to get to on the computer but it's still not a bad idea to make some plans to check out spots off the beaten path.

Born: 09/25/1929
Birth Place: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Barbara Walters was born on Sept. 25, 1929 (sources vary on birth date, with some stating 1931) in Boston, MA and because of her father Lou's career as a nightclub impresario, she was raised in Boston, New York and Miami. Lou Walters went from producing the famed Ziegfeld Follies stage show in New York City to launching a chain of popular nightclubs called The Latin Quarter, which were known for lavish musical productions and top talent. Her father was so well-known in the entertainment industry that his family, including his youngest daughter, Barbara, were a common sight hobnobbing with the glamorous stars and clientele of The Latin Quarter - an unusual situation that Walters would later c...

Our MBA program offers areas of emphasis in accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, and information technology, and renewable energy. You need a total of 9 credits for either an emphasis or general electives in the MBA Program at the University of Nevada, Reno. Students who graduated from the College of Business at UNR cannot enroll in 600 level courses if they took them at the 400 level at UNR.
Note that MBA students can also pursue other areas of emphasis by taking graduate courses of their choice outside of the College of Business. For additional information on developing an emphasis in an area other than Business, please contact the MBA Office.
Also note that BADM 793 (independent study) is among the available courses to MBA students as either electives or as courses for an emphasis. For guidelines to do an independent study, click here. For BADM 793, you need to have a faculty advisor from the College of Business. Prior to registering for BADM 793, you should contact the MBA Office to discuss the details of the work involved and to get the contact information of a faculty advisor. Once the scope of the work for BADM 793 is worked out, the MBA Office will provide you with the information on how to register in the course.
Accounting Emphasis
There are two areas of accounting emphasis in the MBA Program: Financial and Tax.
Financial Emphasis
The study of financial accounting concerns the rules, practices, and conventions, referred to as Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP). GAAP is the standard used by companies who report their financial results to external parties including financial institutions, regulators, and shareholders. A solid understanding of GAAP is helpful for a career in the areas of finance, administration, and accounting. The 3-course financial emphasis will give you a solid understanding of current GAAP.

- ACC 601 - Financial Reporting I (Prerequisite: BADM 710)
- ACC 602 - Financial Reporting II (Prerequisite: ACC 601)

Tax Emphasis
The 3-course tax emphasis offers the MBA student both a thorough grounding in the Federal income tax regulations governing individuals and business entities and an analytical framework through which to analyze decisions with tax implications.

Entrepreneurship Emphasis
Entrepreneurship involves turning an idea into profit. This can occur with a startup or within an existing business. To see profit in an idea requires a breadth of business understanding, and to obtain profit from an idea requires the ability to execute. An emphasis in entrepreneurship provides grounding in evaluating business ideas and much detailed exposure to the practical steps necessary to form and execute a business plan.

In addition, this emphasis explains how organizations can both protect and leverage their existing technology, properly implement new projects, and manage the organizational change that accompanies new systems. Independent study encourages the application of coursework to real world organizational issues.
MBA students who select an emphasis in Information Management can tailor their program to focus on specific interest and work needs. Some suggested three course clusters are:

MBA students may take three of the renewable energy courses to complete a MBA emphasis in renewable energy.

PHOTO OP: "Commence Dragulation...Dragulation Complete."
For the first time in I think EVAH I'm pretty much stunned into typing submission. But I'll try.
I haven't the slightest idea what Elena Dementieva was doing this shoot for or why but I don't even care: I. LOVE. IT. It's so over-the-top tranny trash I can't peel my eyes away even for a second. It's like watching a train wreck on crack or every episode of Drag U.
I'm thinking the inspiration here must have been Valley of the Dolls meets 70's satanic movies meets Siegfried and Roy all wrapped up in sequins and foil. Well, at least the tennis racquet is. No, really. IT IS:
Fab. You guys, I'd die to do a photoshoot this awful. Big hair, bad fashion, and fire. Everything I've ever dreamed about this Russian barbie gets to live out. Like Jujubee she's aspirational. There, I said it. Sue me.
I'm sure Maxim Afinogenov enjoyed this Elena as much as I'm doing right now. Uh, wait probably more. In a hetero way of course.

OH. MY. GAWD. Wha - I don't even. I'd laugh but I'm sure she'd set me on fire.ReplyDelete
@ lovelyrita782: Or wrap you up in foil and swat you. Either way FUN!ReplyDelete
Confess, Richie.ReplyDelete
That's from your own private collection. You photoshopped Elena's face over yours, didn't ya? ;)
I can't even think of anything witty to say, those pics are just downright amazing. And your commentary is just cracking me up!ReplyDelete

Hello everyone,
I had a Zimbra 7.2.1 on Ubuntu 8 LTS, and wanted to upgrade to Zimbra 8 / Ubuntu 12 LTS. So I made a fresh Ubuntu installation, copied the /opt from the old server, and ran ./install.sh. This ends up with the following:
Sun Oct 21 00:03:10 2012 Operations logged to /tmp/zmsetup.10212012-000247.log
Sun Oct 21 00:03:10 2012 checking isEnabled zimbra-ldap
Sun Oct 21 00:03:10 2012 zimbra-ldap is enabled
Sun Oct 21 00:03:10 2012 Initializing ldap...
Sun Oct 21 00:03:10 2012 *** Running as zimbra user: /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit
IO::Socket::INET6: connect: Connection refused at /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmldapinit line 137.
I googled for quite a while now, and all I could find was timeout problems with IO::Socket::INET (<= no 6 here). Timeout problems may indicate DNS problems, while I see here a "connection refused", which is not a DNS issue IMO.
zmldapinit line 137:
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new("$ldap_master_url") or die "$@";
My idea now is that the perl Net::LDAP module changed it's behavior and tries to connect (also) via ipv6, while the zimbra ldap server doesn't listen on any ipv6 interface.
Has anybody some idea how I can get this solved?
Has anybody already done these steps zimbra7/ubuntu8 => zimbra8/ubuntu12 successfully?
Thanks for help!

Classic Instruments Salt Flat SpecialWritten by Brian Brennan on August 20, 2012
We are now extending our Velocity(tm) series to include the Salt Flat Special(tm)! This instrument package will include the incredibly accurate Sky Drive(tm) and 270mph speedometer with a fully programmable halo light. The halo light is an intense red LED light that will illuminate the entire instrument face when triggered. The Sky Drive(tm) has an independent output that can be used to trigger a relay if another warning device would want to be used (external LED, buzzer, etc.).
Based on the successful engineering of George Poteet's Blowfish gauge (car built by Rad Rides by Troy, driver Danny Burrows), we were able to design this new speedometer for Russ Dean.
After the intense testing by the Blowfish team and Russ Dean at Bonneville, we decided to make this product available for all of our customers. Dean was successful in breaking the F/PS record in Category E at the Bonneville Nationals at a speed of 226mph, with what he calls a "flawless" Sky Drive(tm). While updating 10 times per second, Sky Drive(tm) was able to produce incredibly accurate readings throughout the entire run. The Sky Drive(tm) is capable of accurately reading speeds up to 625mph.
The speedometer features:
-Exaggerated indices and numerals
-Bright orange pointer
-Red halo lighting
Classic Instruments will calibrate the speedometer in house to further ease installation. We will also set the red halo light to illuminate at any given speed, allowing you to know when you beat your previous record. The exaggerated indices on the gauges are designed to specifically highlight the most important areas for licensing runs. The gauge will be available in the Velocity White series in a 5" or 3 3/8" with custom options available. A 3" chromed tachometer cup can be purchased separately.

"That's where we all ended up," admits John M. Jorgensen, vice president of development for Silver Spring, Maryland-based Choice Hotels International. "Everyone vacated the budget business and watched it disappear."
Choice Hotels International, one of the world's largest hotel franchisors, selling such brands as Comfort Inns and Quality Suites, wanted to return to the days of no-frills rooms at bargain prices.
The company, which has 2,600 hotels in the U.S. and in 19 countries, also needed to figure out a way to contend with an even bigger obstacle — the expected labor shortages and declining employee productivity in the service industry.
The solution, company executives decided, was to design a new hotel that was "labor lean," yet offered the customer a comfortable, attractive room at a competitive price. Thus was born Sleep Inn.
For its efforts, Sleep Inn has been recognized as one of Personnel Journal's 1991 Optimas Award winners. The award is given annually to companies that display excellence in human resources management in one of 10 categories, which range from managing change to global outlook. Sleep Inn was the winner in the Competitive Advantage category.
Jim Crawford has been in the lodging industry for 20 years. As president of the Hickory, North Carolina-based Hospitality Management Group, he recently built two Sleep Inns and is planning a third. "Sleep Inns," he maintains, "are less expensive to operate and require fewer employees."
Crawford says he can run a Sleep Inn with half as many employees as needed in a comparable budget hotel. His 100-room Sleep Inn uses 14 full-time workers. A similarly priced budget hotel would need 25 to 30 employees, he says.
So why so few workers? For one, the rooms are smaller and designed for cleaning efficiency, enabling the housekeepers to breeze through them in two-thirds the time it takes to clean the average room. "My housekeepers can each clean five more rooms a day at a Sleep Inn," Crawford points out.
Indeed, Sleep Inns were designed with human resources in mind. Not only can they be scrubbed in 20 minutes — about ten minutes less than average — but employees have to do less lifting, squatting and moving. This comes in handy for Crawford, who says housekeeping is becoming less attractive to younger workers (who don't want to work on the weekends) and is forcing him to evaluate senior citizens for employment.
Wes Balmer, a Phoenix-based architect who has worked for the management of Ramada Inns and Embassy Suites, drew the plans for the Sleep Inn rooms and lobby. Among the many questions he asked was, "Do people really take baths when they stay in hotels?" The answer is no. Only 5% of lodgers will soak in a tub. So the tub was replaced with a shower, cutting down on square footage. The rooms are 70% the size of the average budget hotel.
Balmer, however, had a hidden agenda. Cleansing the pesky corners and slots of a tub is labor-intensive. Now maids can step inside a rounded shower stall and wipe it down effortlessly. Likewise, the wash basin is molded into the vanity, so there are no seams where dirt and grime can be concealed.
That isn't all. The architects studied where maids spend most of their time in a room. It turned out they stayed around the bed for too long, trying to get the bedspread to fit just right. Now bedspreads at Sleep Inns have corners sewed into them so the maids can position them more evenly.
Not having to move furniture back and forth, maids can vacuum a Sleep Inn room with ease. The closet unit, desk, nightstand and headboard are built into the wall and don't touch the floor. The bed itself is on a platform that doesn't have to be lifted.
Perhaps the most-ingenious labor-saving design at Sleep Inns is the laundry room, which is located near the front desk. This permits the night clerk to help fold towels and launder sheets when he or she isn't busy with guests, eliminating the need to hire another employee to oversee this function.
"Because of these labor-saving devices, we have made a more successful lodging operation," says Jorgenson. "Our profit margins are 10 points better than the average budget hotel, and labor is the biggest cost in a hotel operation."
Jeff Whittington, who owns a Sleep Inn in Salisbury, North Carolina, agrees. "I like the layout of the rooms and the labor- saving tricks. It's a good, modern design that works," says Whittington, who hired just 14 full-timers for his 92-room lodge. When Crawford opened his Sleep Inn, his occupancy rate jumped two points above the national average, and his share of the Hickory, North Carolina hotel market climbed a full percent.
Choice Hotels International's own study — conducted by an outside research firm — shows that 97% of Sleep Inn guests rated their stay either "excellent" or "good," while 99% indicated the rooms had high value for the price paid.
Perhaps most unique to the budget sector is Sleep Inn's computerized security system, which enables the owner to track the housekeeper's time to the minute. To enter a room, the employee inserts a card that tells the computer where he or she is at and how long it takes to clean that room. If a maid enters a room and doesn't emerge for 45 minutes, there's a problem.
The same system eliminates the need to handle keys at the front desk. Guests use their own credit cards to unlock their doors. The system has other advantages: it prevents a guest from entering the room after check-out time and it automatically turns on the heating or air conditioning units when a guest enters, and turns it off when he or she exits. In other words, one person can manage energy usage from a single location.
"We love the security system," says Norm Andersen of Roanoke, Virginia, a 19-year veteran of the lodging business, who owns seven hotels, including a Sleep Inn. "The customers say it makes them feel safe."
Andersen predicts the card system soon will lead to a remote kiosk located in the lobby of the Sleep Inn. This station will allow guests to use their credit cards to check in, program their door locks, select which rooms they prefer and eventually check out.
The concept "looks very inviting," says Andersen, because it will allow similar owners to service more guests with fewer employees.

Hi, I hope someone can help.
My Zimbar Desktop hasn't synchronized with Yahoo Mail since August 8. It was about that time that someone may have tampered with my Yahoo account and Yahoo made me change my password.
I have tried changing my password in Zimbra's setup to match the new Yahoo account password, but unsuccessfully.
Zimbra informs me that my Yahoo account is "locked" and asks me to login to Yahoo by clicking on a link.
I do so, and login on the Yahoo page that comes up; my Yahoo home page opens; but returning to Zimbra, nothing happens.
If I try again to change my password, the same response occurs.
I've tried re-installing Zimbra but it doesn't help. I have not uninstalled Zimbra with a complete wipe of my data.
Thanks for any advice.
Michael Bates
