This modified Brompton sounds great! How are the quality of the hinges and hardware on a Merc compared to the standard Brompton? Does anyone know if Mercs are available in the U.S.?
This modified Brompton sounds great! How are the quality of the hinges and hardware on a Merc compared to the standard Brompton? Does anyone know if Mercs are available in the U.S.?
No Mercs in the US. I am trying to work on that a bit. I am working directly with them at the moment to get mine here. PM offline and I'll give you more info. So far they have been quite good to deal with and very helpful. I will report more after I get my bike in hand which if all goes well will be next week.
I will be using the Ti bits from the Brompton to go with the Merc as well as a few other nifty ideas I have planned. I don't care about being a SS gear head but more of a versatile touring bike that isn't too heavy to cart around.
So,.. one thing i don't get. Did Merc substantially improve their quality or are current Mercs still as horrible as A to B magazine wrote, or is A to B grossly exagerating?
My Tweaked and modded Raleigh Twenty. Lots of pictures and lots of general info on for example a different & Cheap Bottom Bracket solution as well as fork solution.
@V1nce- I think A to B is full of human waste products. The Merc I saw wasn't anywhere near as bad as they said it was. Actually in many ways I thought it was better than the Bromptons it is imitating. I am selling my last Brompton to replace it with a "normal" Merc if that gives you any idea. Of course I will keep my hybrid Merc Brompton and my M6R-Plus as well. They use a SA rear hub, they have a decent frame, the weight for the basic bike isn't bad considering you get a dynamo, fenders, rack, pump, etc. It is a well kitted out bike for the money. It is about half the price of the equivalent Brompton. Now would it be my first folding bike, probably not. If I was looking for a Brompton first would I buy it, tough to say.
If I didn't buy it it would be because support would be limited in the US so for a first time buyer who needs someone to hold their hand it would not be a good first choice. Since I am not that type of person then it is a great option for me. A to B magazine is just protecting their advertisers and MANY of their staff who have some arrangement or work for Brompton. You do the math and figure it out. By now most of you know I call it as I see it. If the bike is a piece of feces (dung) I will say it. I have no arrangement or special deal with any company. I am not beholden to anyone. I just buy what I like or what I think will be good and let the chips fall where they may. So far I haven't ended up with anything I really disliked.
Nice to hear your two cents, too bad A to B or so biased, otherwise they are a valuable resource.
Just out of curiosity (and so i can consider buying perhaps..) in what respects is the Merc poorer than the Brommie?
Also, is Merc still in business then? I send them 2 e mails and didn't get a darn thing and that was months ago.

Where is your evidence for these comments?
I often disagree with A to B, but I think the aforementioned accusations are a cheap shot - unless you can substantiate them...
I am not the first one to bring this up and I am sure I won't be the last. I honestly don't have time to go back through all the websites where I originally saw this info. Anyone who is objective and reads A to B will realize that it is almost entirely a giant ad for Brompton and almost all the articles are "puff" pieces for Brompton. I have never seen a more biased publication (except a few odd newspapers in the US) than A to B. Either they don't test the same Bromptons we buy or they are blinded by their advertising dollars. One of the accusations that I saw verified before (though I didn't indpendently verify it) was there were A to B staff manning a Brompton booth at a trade show type function. If that is true and I assumed it to be, that is not keeping the company you are reviewing at arms length from your business and that to me creates a conflict of interest.
For example where I work, I can't own stock or have almost ANY interest in the products I might recommend to our customers UNLESS those purchases are controlled by an entity where I have no control over they buying decision. I have no vested, invested or any other interest, nor do I act as an agent for any bicycle company, manufacturer of any parts or accessories with respect to any comments I have made about any of the companies parts, bikes or accessories. I personally would like to see A to B have full disclosure in their magazine about any relationships they may have. I have written them about this issue but they have never replied to my concerns.
I have been reading A to B for four years and the magazine is certainly Brompton-centric, often frustratingly so. However, you have not supplied any verifiable evidence that A to B have, or do work for Brompton - the example cited cannot be corroborated. What's more, I once spent 30 mins at a Cannondale trade booth and 2 or 3 people asked me questions about the products! I do not work for Cannondale...
Most of the advertising in A - B is taken up by specialist UK bike stores, not manufacturers (although Dahon and Birdy also advertise in the magazine). It is these bike shops that repeatedly list Brompton products, and this is hardly surprising, as Brompton is one of the best selling folders in the UK.
I would also be interested to know if any of the contributors have links, or have a vested interest in Brompton - I shall write to them as well. If they do and have not declared it, I would be surprised and would no longer buy the magazine. If I receive a response, I will let you know.
Oh, I have no links to Brompton or A to B - just my own prejudices and preferences...

I thought Merc was banned from selling in the U.K.?
IMHO It's mostly Wavshrdr making the "old fashioned" "expensive" and "dinosaur" comments, it's just that he makes them REALLY LOUD and REALLY OFTEN. Winning by volume. His long rants about the brakes usually fail to mention that his first and main experiences were on "C" type Bromptons which got far worse brakes than the rest. I test-rode a new Brompton and while the brakes were not the equal of the DISC BRAKES on my current commuter, I didn't consider them inadequate, in fact they worked pretty well and I didn't really think about them much. AND he usually doesn't have any other serious points except that they're "heavy".Originally Posted by LittlePixel
"Heavy" is relative, I seriously doubt you'd find anyone in the commuter forum who'd complain about riding a 26-lb bike. And Bromptons are for commuting. Yeah, take 'em on the Tour vs. Lance and you're gonna lose. The guys on 14-lb carbon race bikes are going to beat you on that century. Who cares? Take any folder and add all the things the Brompton comes with (fenders, lights, rack, mudflaps) and your weight difference starts to become a lot less significant.
Price? You Get What You Pay For.
I looked at, in person, Bike Friday, Brompton, Swift, and Dahons at the bike store I went to. The Bike Friday and the Brompton (the two most expensive) made me go "DAMN that is a slick idea." The BF because of the carrying case / trailer, what an awesome idea for someone doing bike touring + another form of travel. The Brompton because of the small fold with castors, and the clip-on briefcase that can be attached even while folded... VERY convenient for commuting.
The Swift was pretty cool, looked like a good bike if you want to drive somewhere then ride a century... and the Dahons were pretty much the normal "80% of the value for half the price" that you can get with anything (cars, power tools, musical instruments, whatever, there's always a much cheaper option that's "almost" as good).
FYI I intend to buy a Brompton after I move to a new home/new job where a folding bike will be useful (at my current job I leave my bike outside unlocked and don't worry about it). But my main interest is commuting. Any other purpose is secondary... and for pure commuting I don't think much can touch the Brompton.
So anyway... just wanted to point out that not everyone on this side of the Atlantic shares Wavshrdr's opinions of the Brompton .
And for what it's worth, I like "old fashioned" "dinosaur" English Brooks saddles too .

But working at a job where I can't surf BikeForums all day any more...
First off let me state that for the record my first experiences were on the C types but I also HAVE an M6R-Plus. I have on order a P6R-X. I have ridden several of the ones with the newer brakes and they still aren't up to the standards of most other folding bikes.Originally Posted by Eggplant Jeff
Fact is the design is old that isn't always bad. If the brakes weren't so bad why would one of the major US distributors of this offer an in house service to upgrade your brakes (even on the newer models)? Send it to them and they will braze-on the parts to your fork so you can run good brakes. You seem to think there is a huge difference between the C brakes and the others when in fact there is only an incremental improvement. Look at the Brompton specific mailing lists and forums and the number one complaint is still usually brakes so I am not the only one that feels this way.
I tend to point out the good points as well. It is not like I have never set foot on a bike nor do I own any. I put my money where my mouth is. I spend my own $$$ on a variety of bikes to try and find what is best for my purposes. In the real world my favorite bike is my Swift but it is not as portable as a Brompton but as a bicycle it is FAR better than any Brompton I've ridden to date. I am not the only one that has less than kind words to say about Bromptons, look at Chop and investigate some of his past posts as well.
I have used my Bromptons quite a bit since I bought them. I never said they were totally garbage and I have indicated where they have their strengths. I have willingly admitted that they own that segment of the market and have no real competition yet.
If I thought they were such junk I wouldn't have bought 4 of them so far. Well now it is down to 2 in my possession and 1 on orders since I sold one of them. I realize they have their place in life just like most things. My point is that Brompton could have done more to improve them than they have. At least they spent some money on an upgraded manufacturing facility so maybe that will pay dividends down the road.
I realize that some things are design specific mostly British needs or other countries where the drive on the wrong side of the road. I have mentioned this before I will point it out again. I personally like to have a mirror on my bike. In the US and most other countries we drive on the right side of the road so you normally mount a mirror on the left so it will be more effective. However due to the narrow bars of the Brompton you need to mount a barend mirror to actually see out past your body. This is almost impossible to do as when the Brompton is folded up in its little package the left bar end mirror would be buried in the ground. So it is relatively easy to mount one on the right but that obviously isn't as effective except if you are riding in the UK, Japan and a few other odd countries.
As for the front bag carrier/brief case it is a good idea but it is almost mandatory as the rear rack is totally useless when you park the bike. You park it by folding the rear wheel up under itself so anything on the rack is now upside down so the only really useful place to carry anything is in the front carrier. That is why they make a ton of accessories for the front and NOTHING for the rear as even Brompton realizes it is almost useless!
So while I appreciate the good things about the Brompton I am not blind to its faults. Sure I like the compact size, relatively good handling and ride but I hate that you have to buy a different saddle clip to use a different saddle or everything is so proprietary that you are locked into using their parts for a lot of things. I obviously don't since I have bought several of them.
The Brompton is good for mixed-mode commuting but if I have to ride more than a few miles on it I would prefer other bikes. An out of the box Swift with bigger wheels and tires can easily be at 20lbs with the factory frame. Swap out the seat and slightly lighter tires. It takes a single speed Brompton with a Merc frame and titanium bits to reach that weight at a cost of 4 times as much. So where is the value proposition in that? As I have mentioned repeatedly, the Brompton's one ace in the hole is that it has a very compact fold. It is not particularly light, fast or versatile without major mods. As a bike it is competent (except for brakes) and is not a standout. If I want to ride all the way to my work each day my Swift or Bike Friday is a better choice but if I will ride to the bus stop and then to work and ride a bit more than they all (Swift, Brompton and BF) are about equal. If I need to repeatedly change buses or get on light rail then the Brompton is the better choice for me.
It all comes down to how you need to use your bike. Which is more important, the small size or the actual function as a bicycle. I didn't buy any of my folders to ride on a century. As Eggplant mentioned you get what you pay for but you can ALSO overpay. My personal opinion is that there are better values than the Brompton. Despite that I have still bought a few because of some of their unique attributes. Obviously your personal usage will dictate what functionality/style or status elements you place a premium on and your total value proposition may be different than mine or may even change over time. I am not suggest to not buy a Brompton. I needed one to go with my other dinosaur the Brooks saddle like Jeff.
I'd like to say that I appreciate Wavshrdr's tone in his response. Given how strongly my post criticised his points, it would have been easy to degenerate into flames. It's nice to see someone respond with maturity and be able to clarify/reiterate their position in response to criticism. I apologize if my own tone in the previous post was less than amicable. I wish there were more people in the world with the ability to convey a strong opinion in a non-conflagatory fashion.Originally Posted by Wavshrdr
While in general I would say our differences of opinion are unlikely to be resolved (which is fine), I would address the mirror issue. I do not have a Brompton in front of me to check, but I believe the Mirrycle would work. Lemme see if this works:
It rises straight up from the bar instead of out, and then has a top joint which you could leave just loose enough to pivot easily by hand but not by vibration (a rubber or plastic washer would make that a piece of cake). So you add one step to your fold, which is to fold your mirror around before you drop the handlebars.
I have that mirror on my current bike and you can easily adjust the tension on the pivot points.

Here here! I don't always agree with Wavshrdr, but I value his opinions very much. Kudos to both of you.
Nothing endures but change.
I guess this is the time to anounced that my Brompton has undergone a first level modification. It has been sent to a good bike shop and it's brakes have been modified (along with a new traditional style metal shifter). More on this later as I will upload digital pictures of this change as well as the first multi-mode trip since this modifications has been done. All this and more just as soon as I am able to complete the trip, how to upload the photos onto the new thread, and let the local commuter train finish laying out new tracks to my destination.

I actually like the ability to "park" the bike. Its stable quick and the load can be removed. I can decide not to park it if I want and it would be like any other folder. You are right that the carrier is limited but with in this, can still be useful. I have seen photos of heavy loads carried on the rear rack and kept rear and narrow to accomodate the cycling motion.
Another thing to remember is that Brompton actually looked into going over to Alu chassis (& hinges) but were not satisfied with the integrity of the welds each side of the hinge. These Mercs have not been out that long, how long, I wonder, before someone riding one sufferes a catastrophic failure?
As in all these things there are +s and -s to each and every folding bike, all have strengths and weaknesses not found in their competitors. All you can do is get the best compromise which suits your needs. Or, as I do, have different bikes for different functions.

Eggplant Jeff - I don't believe that flames benefit anyone. I respect others opinions even if I don't agree with them. I try to present my views and the process I arrived at them. I am not a clueless idiot when it comes to vehicles. I have been riding, racing and modifying motorcycles for the past 35+ years. I have been racing cars for only slightly less time. Bicycles are another one of my major hobbies and cheaper than the first two. Educationally I was trained as an aerospace/aeronautical engineer so I am not clueless when it comes to metals, design, engineering issues, etc. While I am American or at least it says so on my passport I have lived and worked a good bit of my life outside of the US. I grew up speaking 2 languages and learned speak another 2 pretty fluently as well. So some may accuse me of ethnocentric (as in my culture is the only one that matters) but in reality I am well versed in other cultures and languages and I am not biased against anyone, race, culture, brand, etc. I am especially NOT anti-British as how could you be against a country that gave the world the like of Elizabeth Hurley!?Originally Posted by Eggplant Jeff
So what does my biography have to do with this forum? It makes be a little more like a lot of you wherever you may come from. I can relate in a lot of different ways and I can be very empathetic to your situation. Also my life experience has taught me is that conflict is good to improve the breed but real progress depends on communication. Once someone starts "yelling" (i.e. flames) the argument is lost (on their part). Don't try and influence with your emotions, use your facts and your ability to present them. I am not always right and when faced with evidence to the contrary I will change my position. I welcome healthy dialog as we can all benefit from it. That is what this forum is all about.
So if my comments at times seem negative they are my opinions based on the facts as I know them or see them. Take from it what you want. I was raged in a time when "critical thinking" was taught in the school systems. I was raised to be a skeptic. I say the negative things on purpose to get people to perhaps re-analyze their viewpoints. I hope that people will sometimes see a common thread here. If people analyzed my comments carefully I don't just slam something, I almost always offer up a solution where one presents itself. Sure I hated the brakes on my Brompton but I did something about it AND I informed others so that if they were considering the C type that they might want to plan on an upgrade OR go to better model. I don't talk disparagingly about anything without having experience with it first or understand it quite well. If sometimes I don't state things as accurately or succinctly as I would like it is because I grew up learning another language more than English at first.
I hope we can all continue to get along and find a way to build on each other experience in a harmonious manner. To me that is what this forum should be about (or any other forum for that matter).
As for the Mirrcycle mirror, I have a few of those. Tried one on it and snapped it off the first time I put it in my trunk. I appreciate the thought. So far the mirror that is working the best (and it is getting beat up and will probably die soon) is the Zefal Dooback (or something like that). I do have mirror that I can Velcro on and off but it gets to be a drag to remove it EVERY time I need to get on a bus and then put it back on when I leave.
@Edd - I do use my rack on occasion but I have found a seatpost rack to be a better alternative. As I lower the seat I spin it 180 degrees so the rack is over the frame tube and it works quite well. The other issue with the rear rack as well is that I often hit my feet on anything on the rack if it is very wide at all. Again the seatpost rack alleviates that as I can position it slightly higher. I use a QR (quick release) version so if I have to take it totally off I can.
@Chop I am like you that different bikes are for different purposes. It is difficult to play a round of golf with one club. You could but why would you want to?
Well, this is not Brompton so it is a bit OT but in the SPIRIT of your post, perhaps this may be fitting.
I think for lightweight, one need to start with the lightest frame possible so instead of some parts in titanium, perhaps the entire frame in titanium. Or Carbon Fiber - but Carbon is not quite as durable to dropping etc. And for a bike that is roughly about the same cubic space as the Brompton when folded but with much larger tires and disc brakes, and entire frame in Titanium, you could possible look at the Helix. Their announced weight for single speed was 20 lbs, and 10 speed was 21.1 lbs. But since then, they have selected lighter rims and lighter crankset. So now I am pretty sure the single speed is nicely under 20 lbs. And if you want to go crazy with carbon and titanium components, my guess is that you can get it to 18 lbs or less. That with a 24" wheel.
As I said, off topic but in the spirit of what you are looking for, may be actually a better fit.
Holy Schmoly...nine years old?? In internet terms, that's from before the earth's crust hardened.
Apologies. I actually did not look this up - I actually read it by linking to it from another recent post. And as a result of linking over to the post rather than doing a search, I wasn't paying attention to the date.
OK, I'll scurry back to my cubicle....

You did not give enough information. Some things to think about to put in your letter: What is the class number? How many classes do you want to attend? Which exam do you want to retake? Is it the final exam, mid-term exam, or a regular exam? Did your professor agree to give you this make-up exam? Did you miss class due to illness? What would your grade have been before you took the exam?

Macaya means 'celebration, party' in Iorubá. Relying exclusively on voluntary work, the troupe was entirely cast of capoeiras, mostly of beginners without any previous experience in theatre or dance. Profa. Josi Rocha, besides directing and choreographing the troupe, was one of the main people behind this really-low-cost production. The clip above and the interviews below will be of great help and inspiration for those keen to jump into cultural productions/performances with their Capoeira schools. Continue reading

I'm wondering: how many of you think that writing a big report on
the findings/recommendations for a project is inefficient?
>From my experience, it seems that I end up discussing (and often
justifying) almost every single thing I write on the report, no
matter how logical it is.
Isn't a better way to just sit with the client's development team
and/or management, and get things done together?
I know Steve Krug is against reports, but I wanted to know what other
professionals' take on this matter.

The United States is in ongoing discussions with Russian authorities over the fate of fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday.
Carney, briefing reporters traveling with US President Barack Obama to Africa, reiterated Washington's wish to see Snowden -- currently in the transit area of a Moscow airport -- expelled to face espionage charges.
"We are having conversations with Russian government officials. I'm not at liberty to get into the details of those conversations, but we're having the conversations," Carney said, without saying which officials were involved.
"There are a variety of people in our government and the Russian government under whose jurisdiction these issues fall," he said.
The 30-year-old Snowden, a former contractor for the National Security Agency who revealed details of sweeping US surveillance programs to gather phone and Internet data, has not been seen since arriving in Moscow on Sunday.
Russia says Snowden -- who has asked Ecuador to grant him asylum -- is still in a transit zone at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.
Carney said there was "significant and improved cooperation with the Russian government on matters of law enforcement," especially after the Boston bombings, and that there was a "clear, legal basis" for Snowden's expulsion.
"We continue to make our case to the Russians and to any other countries that may serve as a place of transit of a final destination," State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said in Washington.
Also in Washington, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel urged Moscow to "do the right thing here and turn Snowden over to the United States."
"He has broken laws," Hagel told a press conference.
Ecuador, which is sheltering WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at its embassy in London as he faces extradition to Sweden over allegations of sexual assault, again said it would assess his asylum request "responsibly."
But Quito's embassy in Washington lashed out at what it called "recent statements made by United States government officials containing detrimental, untrue, and unproductive claims about Ecuador."
"This current situation is not being provoked by Ecuador," said the statement from deputy chief of mission Efrain Baus.

Lady Deathstrike Marvel legends by Jin-SaotomeWatch
©2012-2016 Jin-Saotome
Lady Deathstrike has always been one of Wolverine's greatest foes but her original figure was a bit lacking. Here I've gone all out to create a newer version of her. The body is the original Deathstrike with retooled hip/leg articulation, a DCU Raven head with Deathstrike's cap, alternate flowing-hair head, waist covering from Elektra, hands from a Generator Rex Bio-Wulf, and wired ribbon to make posable sleeves. I also added that tech detail on her skin to make her really stand out.
the 90's folks!
Fantastic work as usual, Jin!
Hi dude, great update to this figure...his original version it's a little poor. Can you ever make some tutorial to fix, assemble or reassemble the articulations of marvel legends figures? with transformers is very easy because of the screws, but marvel legends... please?
saludos, big fan of your work
saludos, big fan of your work
I have a whole bunch of customizing guides on my site. There's no one tutorial that covers all types of figures because each one is different. Sometimes a boot pops right on, other times you have to replace the peg with a screw, and sometimes you need to trim and glue it. My general guide shows you the basics of taking apart a Marvel legends, swapping a head, etc.
Nice work man, looks really nice with the alt heads.

A lot of people tend to think the Better Business Bureau is a government agency. However, we are NOT a government agency, nor do we receive tax dollars. Rather we are a non-profit agency supported by our 6,300 Accredited — or member — Businesses in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Why do companies support us? They do it for a wide variety of reasons, of course. Some certainly become accredited with us for the services and programs we provide in return – such as increased visibility, co-branding opportunities and free mediation and arbitration services. Some because they know 7 out of 10 people prefer to do business with companies who belong to the Better Business Bureau.* But all of our member companies believe in an organization devoted to encouraging ethical behavior and maintaining a marketplace where buyers and sellers can trust each other; they believe in the work that we do and the things that we stand for.
Our member companies know that we serve and support the communities they do business in and that we offer valuable educational outreach to students, seniors and everyone in between. They know that every weekday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. the BBB has trained operators available to answer questions from the public and help them make informed purchasing decisions. They know that we're constantly monitoring the marketplace for scams which target both businesses and consumers. Finally, they know that every dollar we prevent consumers from losing to scams and fraudulent offers is a dollar they have to spend with legitimate businesses.
The Better Business Bureau plays a pivotal role in the health of our marketplace. Thanks to the support of our Accredited Businesses we're able to: provide a forum where businesses and customers can resolve their differences amicably; monitor advertising in Minnesota and North Dakota and challenge questionable claims by advertisers; offer free Business Reviews on companies (both accredited and non-accredited); and provide the public with timely fraud alerts and updates regarding unethical business practices. Our presence helps minimize the need for more restrictive government regulations.
The marketplace has changed a lot since 1912, the year the Better Business Bureau was founded (right here in Minneapolis!), but one thing that won't ever change is the need for an organization devoted to making businesses better and standing up for the little guy. Those two things might seem somewhat contradictory, but actually one of our roles is to gently remind businesses that they become better when they stand up for the little guy.
Business or customer, we're your Better Business Bureau! We appreciate the support of our Accredited Businesses and hope that you'll support them as well!
*According to a 2007 Princeton Research Survey

The Majore Trio Returns to LVC for February 24 Concert
Central Pennsylvania music professors Rebecca Butler Marie-Aline Cadieux, and Johannes Dietrich will perform as the Majore Trio on February 24 at 3 p.m. in the Zimmerman Recital Hall of Lebanon Valley College's Suzanne H. Arnold Gallery. The concert is free and open to the public.
The trio includes Butler, a music professor at Albright College, on piano; Cadieux, a music professor at Kutztown University and adjunct cello professor at LVC, on cello; and Dietrich, the Newton and Adelaide Burgner Professor of Instrumental Music at LVC, on violin.
The program will feature "Trio No. 1 in F Major" by Camille Saint-Seans and the "Trio No. 4 in B flat Major" by Ludwig van Beethoven. The Beethoven trio includes a set of variations on the tune, "Before I begin work, I must have something to eat" from J. Weigle's opera, "Sailor's Loves." As the performance comes to an end, the Majore Trio will play from Paul Schoenfield's "Café Music" and Fritz Kreisler's "Miniature Viennese March."
A native of Montana, Dietrich joined LVC's faculty in 1995. He directs the LVC Symphony Orchestra, teaches conducting and string methods and applied violin and viola, and conducts chamber music ensembles. Dietrich is also active in clinics and was recently awarded the Orchestra Director of the Year award from the Pennsylvania/Delaware String Teachers Association. He studied at Montana State University and at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. Dietrich has a master's in violin performance and a doctorate in violin and performance and conducting from the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati. Dietrich is a founding member of the Majore Trio but also performs solo violin recitals and remains an active ragtime pianist.
Cadieux has performed across Europe but moved to the area in 1999. She has won numerous teaching awards and her former students have gone on to lead college music programs and conservatories across the country. Cadieux frequently teaches clinics and master classes for music educators and students and served as the principal cellist for many accomplished orchestras. She received her master's degree and graduate certificate in performance from Northwestern University and earned her doctorate at Ohio State.
Butler has been a member of the Albright College faculty for nearly three decades, where she directs the symphonic band, teaches general music classes for non-music majors, and teaches music history and theory. She is co-chair of the music department, symphonic band director, teaches lessons on both the flute and piano, organizes and coaches small wind and string ensembles, and coordinates adjunct instructors for music and classroom instruction. Butler earned her bachelor's degree in music education and piano performance at the Oberlin Conservatory and went on to earn a master's degree in accompanying and chamber music at Temple University. Butler is an active freelance accompanist and chamber musician.

If you have Dell or Lenovo client systems with Intel AMT version 6, firmware updates are available to make these systems host based configuration capable.
If you are new to the Host Based Configuration concept, please see http://communities.intel.com/community/openportit/vproexpert/blog/2011/03/07/intel-amt-7-introduces-host-based-configuration
On the Dell systems - the latest BIOS will automatically update\enable the functionality. You are ready to configure the system in Client Control Mode (Need more information on this topic? Use SCS 7.1)
For Lenovo systems, the process is a little more involved:
- Update to the latest BIOS
- Update to the latest Intel AMT firmware release (in my experience, the MEUPDATE.CMD file worked best)
- Enable host based based configuration via WMI-based BIOS settings script
More details on the 3rd step for Lenovo systems:
- Review documentation at http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-68488
- Per the documentation, create ListAll.vbs
- Run cscript ListAll.vbs on client system. Output will include two datapoints of interest. The second item may not be accessible in the actual Lenovo BIOS screens.
- AMTcontrol = Enable
- HostBasedConfiguration = Disable
- AMTcontrol = Enable
- Per the documentation, create setconfig.vbs
- Run cscript setconfig HostBasedConfiguration Enable and ensure a success
The Lenovo system with Intel AMT 6.2 is now ready for Host Based Configuration

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Threaded holes http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=44152&th=8290#msg_44152 <![CDATA[I have a project in mind that needs to be prinnted in several seperate pieces, due to Tight clearances, and the method of assembly requires some threaded holes, that I need for setscrews to hold things together. While I can model the threads, I'm unsure of how well the 3D printing process does them. One alternitive that is far easier to do, is to place an hole in the location I need equal to the minor diameter of the threads I need, and then go back and cut them with a tap. Obviously this limits the Materiels I can use to either plastics or stainless steel. The other materials may be either to hard, or to expensive.]]> Neaker 2012-02-19T04:57:55-00:00 Re: Threaded holes http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=44175&th=8290#msg_44175 <![CDATA[Neaker,
 If you look around the 3d print community you will find a few printed nuts and bolts, all of them are large(approx. 19mm or bigger) and had to be made with a sloppy fit to ensure turning. As nice as it would be to print my threads I usually just drill and tap my parts.

 bvr]]> bvr 2012-02-19T11:22:26-00:00 Re: Threaded holes http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=44292&th=8290#msg_44292 <![CDATA[So you know, the SS material is hard and abrasive. Carbide drills & taps should be the rule. Pilot holes (tap drill size) could help save some time but probably print tolerances need consideration.
 ]]> GlenG 2012-02-21T21:57:31-00:00 Re: Threaded holes http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=44295&th=8290#msg_44295 <![CDATA[Just an fyi for anyone else looking into tapping holes. The listed tap drill sizes are usually for a 72-75% thread. If you are just attaching parts and not looking for max strength use a larger size tap drill, it will make tapping much easier.
 For depth of thread engagement the general rule for max strength is "2*D" @ 72-75% thread( 2 times the diameter of the bolt). After that its diminishing returns.

 One of the most important things, especially on the stainless steel, is your choice of lubricant. If its hard and tough, I use "Tap-Magic"--after tapping hundreds of 4-40 threads in stainless nothing else will do!(and I've never had to use a carbide tap)
 For the plastics it's dishsoap and water or compressed air.

 @GlenG-
 I have not had a chance to machine any of the Shapeways SS. Is the base SS alloy a free-machining alloy?
 That being said everything that follows is conjecture..
 I have to think with all the bronze/brass in the finished product that it must exhibit some free machining properties? And being that it's relatively hard, would a tool geometry similar to one for brass/plastic work better? Perhaps its just not a mat'l. that likes being cut and prefers the "scrape"?

 ymmv

 hope it helps some

The FUD model worked perfectly with a 1/4" bolt from the hardware store right out of the Shapeways box.

 This metal is a true composite, composed of approx 60% alloy 420 ss with the remainder being a tin bronze alloy. Alloy 420 is a hardenable alloy. In any condition it is more difficult to machine than other stainless alloys like 304, 316 etc. Thermal processing of SW prints leaves the material annealed and as machinable as it will ever get. However, something about the fact that this is a composite material makes it a real bear to mill, drill, thread, grind, or polish. Definitely not '"free machining". I am sure there is some big science to explain this, but suffice it to say that hi-speed , even cobalt tooling will have a rough time of it. If you could make more than 3 or 4 holes with a fresh drill bit (no matter what coolant you use) I would be surprized, shocked and humbly, eat my hat. It has just NOT been our experience and we have drilled thousands of holes in this stuff. Flat carbide (not spiral) drill bits rule around our shop.

 I've had some experience in using screws to fasten small pieces together. If you make an unthreaded hole with a diameter of 3mm to 3.25mm (depending on surrounding wall thickness), thats' enough to fit a 3.5mm screw, the kind you find keeping PC cases together. Just jam it in with a screwdriver and it will carve out the tap its self. If you're only trying to use it to fasten pieces together then how tight the screw fits shouldn't be a problem.]]> Brian H 2012-02-24T05:12:55-00:00 Re: Threaded holes http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=44450&th=8290#msg_44450 <![CDATA[You should use thread forming screws.

Almost all standard threads (Imperial and Metric) should be readily available in both plastic or metal inserts.

Effects of Green House[R] Nursing Homes on Residents' Families
Lum, Terry Y., Kane, Rosalie A., Cutler, Lois J., Yu, Tzy-Chyi, Health Care Financing Review
This article presents results of a quasi-experimental study that examined how a dramatically changed small-house nursing home model affected behavior and outcomes for residents' family members. The model of nursing home care developed in the GH[R] in Tupelo, Mississippi, created opportunities and challenges for family members, and was expected to result in more positive family interactions with residents, and greater family engagement with and satisfaction with the nursing homes.
Family members are instrumental to the psychosocial well-being of nursing home and assisted living residents, and provide the major means for residents to retain their social affiliations and relationships outside the nursing home (Kane, 2004). Families typically are integrally involved in the decision of older people to move to a residential setting, and their choice of facility (Reinardy and Kane, 1999; 2003). If reformed models of nursing homes do not meet with family approval, they are unlikely to be chosen. Further, family members are also a major source of emotional support to elderly people receiving long-term care in all settings, including group residential settings such as nursing homes and assisted living (Gaugler, Kane, and Kane, 2002; Gaugler and Kane, 2007). Family members continue to provide both tangible and emotional support to residents after so-called institutional placement (Kane et al., 1999). Family members also often take on a watchdog role, looking after their relatives' interests and promoting their quality of care (Bowers, 1988). However, the roles of family members in relationship to the nursing home are sometimes ambiguous, fraught with poor communication and misunderstandings between nursing home personnel and family members about mutual expectations (Friedemann et al., 1998).
Although family members typically remain engaged with their members who are nursing home residents, nursing home visits can be difficult and stilted experiences. The setting appears medical and unnatural, engendering uncertainties about what relatives are permitted to do. Also family members may feel guilty and sad because they felt the need to encourage a nursing home admission. Visits may, therefore, become brief and limited to a few relatives, with children and extended family members reluctant to visit or to risk taking the nursing home resident out of the setting to participate in community life.
The movement toward culture change and individualized services in nursing homes has led to new configurations of nursing homes that are more normalized and utilize household models (Weiner and Ronch, 2003). Little is known about how family members perceive the safety and care of the residents and the demands or benefits for themselves, when their relatives live in nursing homes with transformed housing arrangements. This article examines how family members of GH[R] nursing homes (compared to families of residents in conventional facilities) reacted to their relatives' moves to a radically changed nursing home.
GH[R]s are self-contained dwellings for 7-10 residents needing nursing home levels of care. The physical environment is residential, offering residents opportunities for privacy (with private rooms and full bathrooms) and participation in community life, with a residential-style kitchen where meals are prepared on site, a dining area with a large communal dining table, a living room with a fireplace (collectively known as the hearth area), a sun room, and accessible patio and outdoor space. The GH[R] avoids nurses' stations, medication carts, and public address systems. The frontline care staff members, who are CNAs assigned to a single GH[R], have broadened roles, including, cooking, housekeeping, personal laundry, personal care to residents, implementation of care plans, and assisting residents to spend time according to their preferences. …

Why Telehealth?
Market forces are aligning to push healthcare providers to deliver care in new ways. Due to higher deductible health plans, consumers demand more. Technology is enabling other aspects in our lives and so it is no surprise that consumers expect services to be more readily available, easier to access, and with better coordination between practitioners. Telehealth addresses these needs.

Nice photo mate! The colours make it look very pleasing!
amazing... and now it's my desktop background
Oooh, very nice!
The only problem is the slight ghosting with the HDR on the clouds. Annoying thing with hdr innit

this is great picture for me
HDR can make just about any picture, regardless of how good it is, look really nice. It's a great picture to work a matte painting from
Great view ^__^
Nice shot ! The view is absolutely amazing ! Makes me wish I lived in that kind of region
The purity and simplicity of the landscape makes this picture very impressive. The view seems to end in in infinity.
Really a great shot!
Really a great shot!
aww, I can't stop looking at it. The shadows are so mysterious...and the colors (especially the green) are so vivid...love it!
what a beautiful landscape...I wish I'll be there sometimes...
ooo, i love it!
The sky is amazing! Great work

What's up TLF,
I have a question regarding OG clutches. I was just reading a thread about the next OG blade and someone pointed out that all clutch 1's don't necessarily have to be OG clutches. Is there any way (like serial number or sth) to know whether a clutch is OG or a newer gen of clutch 1?

Good question, that passed through my mind a few times, i dont have an answer. I would love to see a few pictures.Originally posted by tFUnK
...is the frame really that flexible so that it can shift and make a gap big enough in order for a thick bulky lock to slide through? perhaps i will take pictures this weekend while i am at it?
