- For other uses, see Console Commands.
Console Commands are a debugging tool available to PC players, adding a wide range of functionality to the game. On American English keyboards, the tilde key (~) will toggle the console screen, but on British English keyboards, that key is the grave key ( ` ). The tilde key on American English keyboards also picture the grave symbol. The key is located below Escape ( Esc ) and just left of the one (1) key.
Comparisons with other games
As with The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Console commands are only available in the PC version of the game.
Using the console
Entering codes
- Codes are not case sensitive; "a" is same as "A".
- Codes are shown as:
Code <Variable> <#>
- The

- The code to add an item is listed as:
Player.AddItem <ItemID> <#>
- If you wanted to add 500 gold, it would be entered as:
player.additem f 500

player.placeatme <BaseID> <#> but does not create a new reference of the base object.)
player.setrelationshiprank <RefID> <#>
|Used to set an NPCs disposition towards the player. <#> = 1-4 Note: If this doesn't help when attempting to add Follower dialogue, try

This section contains bugs related to Console Commands (Skyrim). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- PC Kill command: In third person mode, the player can go into console and select themselves, and then use the kill command. This will cause the Dragonborn to die. However, this is easily glitched. If the Dragonborn is still selected, the "resurrect" command will cause major problems. First, the view will be stuck in third person mode from the angle visible at the time of death. The HUD will be completely invisible unless the Dragonborn is crouching. Animations will be broken as well, i.e. holding an iron dagger won't always register, so the fists animation will be used. The iron dagger will still be in-hand. Ragdoll physics also apply when in this state.
- PC(Fix) This can be fixed by being attacked by a Greybeard using Ice Form.
- PC Toggle Collision: When using the tcl command there is a bug in the programming that will not always allow it to activate collision, when it does allow the command to work when typing tcl to disable the effect the same issue can occur.
- PC(Fix) The only fix for this is to save your game, exit game to desktop, reopen game and continue on.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. - University of Colorado sophomore Winde Janssens won both her singles matches on day one of the 2011 USTA/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mountain Region Championships at the Fertitta Tennis Complex on the UNLV campus.
More than 120 women's collegiate tennis players are competing this week (Oct. 12-16) in Las Vegas. Members from 19 western teams will face off as individuals from Wednesday through Sunday on 12 courts each day in both singles and doubles.
Janssens won her opening round match in the Round of 128, defeating Montana's Sasha Carter, 6-2, 6-2, then followed later in the evening in her Round of 64 match, defeating Victoria Lozano of Idaho, 6-3, 6-1. Janssens will continue to play in the main draw Round of 32 Thursday afternoon. She has won four of her five singles matches during the fall season.

101 multi-ethnic musicians, ranging in age from 12 through 28, comprise the Bahia Orchestra Project and, led by conductor Ricardo Castro, gave a sensational performance at their Thursday concert at the Palladium in Carmel, a stop on their debut North American tour.
Castro, who founded the project in 2007, modeled the orchestra on the Venezuelan "Ill Sistema," a transformative music program targeting vulnerable young people who are taught to play symphonic musical instruments and then, in turn, teach others. The government of Bahia, which is one Brazil's 26 states located in the eastern part of the country's Atlantic coast, supports the group, which is part of the long-term educational program NEOJIBA (Nucleos Estaduais de Orchestras Juvenis e infanti da Bahi).
As the youthful musicians took the stage, they appeared to be all business while they waited for the concertmaster to appear and lead them in tuning their instruments prior to conductor Castro's entrance. From the moment they began playing Tchaikovsky's "Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture," it was obvious that not only were they high level musicians, but the orchestra itself, led by the dynamic Castro, was of exceptional professional quality. Their performance of Tchaikovsky's symphonic poem based on Shakespeare's tragic story of doomed lovers was outstanding in its capture of the passion, yearning, anxiety and conflict inherent in the R & J plot.
Renowned French piano soloist Jean-Yves Thibaudet accompanied the orchestra in a stunning rendition of Maurice Ravel's "Piano Concerto in G Major." Known for his exceptional musicality and technical virtuosity, Thibaudet played Ravel's jazz-infused piece spectacularly, with the orchestra more than holding its own. It was an enthralling performance by Thibaudet, who once studied at the Paris Conservatory with Lucette Descaves, a friend and collaborator of Ravel's.
Following intermission, Castro did double duty as conductor and pianist when the uber-energetic orchestra performed George Gershwin's iconic jazz concerto "Rhapsody in Blue." Demonstrating his own tremendous talent on the piano, Castro led the orchestra in an interpretation that was vigorous and forceful.
The remainder of the program brought the orchestra closer to its Latin American roots with its performance of the last two movements of "Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2," by Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos, Latin America's most significant composer to date.
Portending things to come from an orchestra that had up to that point remained serious and staid in its demeanor, was its performance of Mexican composer Arturo Marquez's "Danzon No. 2" at the end of the concert. Marquez's piece was inspired by danzon, a tango-tinged Cuban dance that became popular in Mexico in the first half of the 20th Century. At one point during the piece, which builds and builds, a surprising turn of events occurred when the members of the string section began to sway in their seats in unison as they played their instruments. Musically and visually, it was a thrilling spectacle.
Returning to the stage after sustained applause from an obviously infatuated audience, Castro remarked that in addition to the training of young musicians who then pay it forward by training others, his organization also trains those who wish to conduct. Then he introduced promising 21-year old maestro Yuri Azevedo, who proceeded to lead the orchestra in three encore pieces. Utilizing percussion as only the Brazilians can, the orchestra, whipped into a frenzy by Azevedo, replicated the celebratory carnival sounds of Salvador and Rio when they played and danced in place to "Dance at Gym (Mambo)" from "West Side Story" and "Aquarela do Brasil (Brazil)." During "Tico-Tico no Fubár" two musicians proudly held a Brazilian flag aloft as they crossed the stage while a viola-player broke into a Samba dance.
The entire encore segment was an electrifying, joyful conclusion to a one-of-a-kind experience that will long be remembered for the infectious spirit of the talented young musicians who made it special as well as the hope they engendered through their positive image, vitality and commitment to teaching and sharing music to better others' lives.

Creator of the Sir Alistair Rai fashion line Asked how she felt in her twenties, Rai says, "Tired." Married and a mother at 23, Rai "didn't wear makeup or do my hair, and I wore loose, flowy fashions, which didn't really work in the 1980s." As an Indian immigrant by way of England, she also felt "'other.' My looks weren't considered pretty at the time." At 30, Rai went to work in fashion, and at 40 she launched her own line, Sir Alistair Rai (siralistairrai.com), based on the flowy aesthetic she favors. This time the style resonated (Julia Roberts is a client). Despite Rai's success, however, her beauty regimen remains low-key: "I still don't wear makeup or fuss over my hair, though I get it blown out weekly-my one indulgence." But at 42, Rai's far happier with the results. She also feels there is now a greater appreciation of her exotic features, "and I'm simply happier than I was 20 years ago. That must radiate outward."
Celebrity makeup artist and founder of Sonia Kashuk Beauty Kashuk has been around beautiful faces most of her life. But it wasn't until her forties that she started liking her own looks. "In my twenties, I pulled my frizzy hair up in a knot and wore tons of makeup," Kashuk says. "One day I ran into friends barefaced, and they didn't recognize me. I knew then that I had to ease up." But paring down her makeup was just the start. Over the ensuing decades, Kashuk lost 20 pounds, and at 50 is in the best shape of her life. She also now high-lights her hair and even wears her curls down on occasion. "I finally see them as sexy," she says. In addition to the physical changes, Kashuk attributes feeling more attractive to a contentedness she didn't enjoy at 20. "I used to be in search of what was next, but now I'm much more settled. I have everything I ever wanted."

College Hockey:WCHA Picks: Jan. 28-29
Minnesota State (8-17-1, 4-13-1 WCHA) at Bemidji State (11-11-2, 5-9-2 WCHA)
Tyler: Minnesota State had one of the worst power plays in the WCHA, but its clicking since Christmas, converting seven times in 26 attmepts. The Beavers are killing at a league-worst 76.4-percent rate over that stretch but this doesn't make the Mavericks good enough to sweep anyone on the road. Split.
Brian: The Mavericks, whose goaltending has been solid in recent weeks, have dominated this series in recent years. MSU has not lost in the last eight meetings between the two schools (7-0-1) and maintains a16-6-2 advantage in the series since BSU became a D-1 program in 1999. The Beavers had last week off after being swept in Denver the weekend before to snap their five-game winning streak. But Minnesota State has just one road win this season (6-3 over Michigan Tech on Nov. 5) and Bemidji State is 8-3-1 at home. I think the Beavers snap the winless streak vs.. the Mavs this weekend but MSU doubles its road win total and picks up a split.
Wisconsin (12-10-2, 7-9-2 WCHA) at No. 18 North Dakota (13-10-2, 9-9-0 WCHA)
Tyler: The Badgers have won five of six but not against any strong teams and their first road win of the year came Jan. 13 at Minnesota State. The Mavericks blanked UW the next night. Also, the Badgers' power play is failing the past five games (2-for-14). UW's 1-6-1 road record doesn't look good going into Grand Forks this weekend. UND sweep
Brian: The Badgers, who swept UND in Madison in Oct. (5-3, 5-4) have won six of the last 10 meetings overall (6-3-1) and are 6-1-1 in Grand Forks since the 2005-06 season. But Wisconsin is just 1-6-1 on the road in 2011-12 with its only win coming at Minnesota State two weeks ago. Penalty killing has been a staple of success in recent weeks for both UW (82.5 percent in last 13 games) and UND (90 percent in last nine and 83.7 percent overall) but UND'S power play inefficiency lately (5.2 percent in its last five games) is alarming. I think Wisconsin finds a way to pick up a road split.
No. 15 Denver (13-8-3, 8-5-3 WCHA) at Alaska-Anchorage (6-14-2, 3-14-1 WCHA)
Tyler: The Pioneers got a huge boost when Jason Zucker returned from Las Vegas, racking up five points against Bemidji State. Things are looking even better now with defenseman John Ryder's and goalie Sam Brittain's return from injury possibly this weekend. The Seawolves have no offensive punch to match whomever Denver puts between the pipes this weekend. DU sweep
Brian: The Pioneers have won three in a row and may be seeing the returns of goaltender Sam Brittain and defenseman John Ryder this weekend. The Seawolves, who are beginning a six-game homestand, have lost five straight and seven of their last 10 (2-7-1) and are winless in their last six against Denver (0-4-2). UAA's 10th-ranked WCHA penalty kill (78.5 percent) is a poor match for DU's top-ranked conference power play (23.6 percent). Denver sweep.
Michigan Tech (11-12-1, 8-7-1 WCHA) at No. 1 Minnesota-Duluth (17-4-3, 11-3-2 WCHA)
Tyler: Michigan Tech is 3-8 this season away from Houghton and this week, they're playing at one of the best teams in the county's barn. The Bulldogs are coming off a series in which they beat Alabama-Huntsville by a goal each night but UMD finished the weekend with 101 shots on goal. UMD sweep
Brian: The Huskies have played well against teams ranked in the top three this season going 2-2-1 in those games. But UMD has won eight of its last 10 meetings (8-2-0) with Michigan Tech, including seven in a row. MTU will be making its first-ever appearance at Amsoil Arena but hasn't won in Duluth since a 3-2 win over the Bulldogs on Nov. 13, 2009. I'm going to roll with the nation's best team here. UMD sweep.
St. Cloud State (10-12-4, 7-8-3 WCHA) vs. No. 3 Minnesota (17-9-1, 13-5-0 WCHA) – Home and home series
Tyler: The Gophers scored three power play goals in 10 chances when these teams met in November but the Huskies penalty kill was suffering and the Minnesota PP was on top of the country. The power play was a big reason the Gophers opened a big lead against SCSU in that 5-0 win. The way things have gone lately, Minnesota's PP won't be as much of a factor as it was the last time against an SCSU penalty kill that's thwarted 21-of-23 power plays since Dec. 17. But the Huskies are still hurting up front with injuries to Cory Thorson and Jordy Christian, Saturday so look for them to use defensemen on the forward lines. Minnesota has the edge coming in but this is an SCSU team that has found ways to win in the past four series despite injuries. The Huskies are 4-4 since Dec. 16 but have lost twice in OT, a one-goal loss and a two-goal loss with an empty-net goal, all against ranked teams. Split
Brian: This is the second home-and-home series of the season for Minnesota and St. Cloud State as each team won at home in November. For the same to occur this time around, the Gophers must exercise their Friday demons (7-5-0 overall) while the Huskies will have to fend off Minnesota's Saturday Night Special (10-2-1 overall, 9-0-0 in WCHA play). The Huskies are a significantly more disciplined team now than when the Gophers faced them in November having fallen from top spot in league penalty minutes to a tie for 10th with Nebraska-Omaha since then. This is good for SCSU's penalty killers who are ranked 11th in the conference while, despite recent struggles, the Gophers' 22.6 percent power play is good for third in the WCHA. If Minnesota intends to be a significant postseason player, the time is now for them to take steps toward that end and string some wins together. If you need me, I'll be on that limb over there picking Minnesota to sweep.

"This book is an attempt to decode the ways media outlets profit by segmenting Americans. I call it the Tyranny of the Broad Niche; what happens as the biggest pieces of an increasingly fragmented audience are courted at the expense of many others."
–Eric Deggans
"If you care about this country, if you want to take part in a citizen's movement that helps heal the deep racial, economic, and cultural divides tearing us apart, you must read Eric Deggans' Race-Baiter. No book of recent vintage so thoroughly dissects the media's monetized appetite for division. Provocative, honest, and smart, Race-Baiter is a supremely important book. Read it and let the conversation begin."
—Connie May Fowler, Author of Before Women Had Wings

"The game seemed to last two days. We're glad it's over with and glad we survived it. The good thing is we swung the bat better than we have in quite some time and held on. Obviously, we would like to not have to use three pitchers, but we were just trying to win the game. But we swung the bat better. I thought we were all a little uptight early. Hopefully we'll settle down tomorrow, play more relaxed, continue hitting, and all those little things."
(On Shaking Up The Lineup For Friday's Game)
"The scouting report was that (Louisiana-Lafayette starter Kevin) Ardoin threw a ton of sliders and we were trying to mix in some left handed bats so he wouldn't keep facing guys that were right handed and guys who had trouble with it. I guess the last game we played against Mississippi, they ran a left-hander up there and kept him down so I felt good about that. Then we stuck (Matt) Grooms in there just to get another left handed bat with that slider running into him."
(On Playing Tulane)
"It's a great challenge. That's the No. 1 team in the country and rightly so. I got to see them play a little bit today. I'll watch them on video. I know they've got some good looking athletes out there. I was out in the outfield, and those three guys in the outfield looked like horses that ran in the Preakness. Big long legs, thick, nice bodies, could hit, run and throw."
(On Who Alabama Is Going To Throw On Saturday)
"I really don't know. We're going to sleep on that one because really and truly, everyone talked about Tulane, Tulane. We had to get past Lafayette, and they were very, very tough. I was going to watch some video tonight. I've got some scouting reports, but I've never seen them (live). So we'll see what matches up best against that lineup of theirs."

I went with a large group of friends. We made a reservation in advance for a weekday. Although not really necessary, it was nice to have the table seated and ready for us. They happily did separate checks, which I checked with in advance. The food was all really solid fare. Vegetarians and Meat-Eaters alike were pleased with their dishes....
When our regular lunch spot was too overflowing and had no capacity - we decided to try the East Coast Cookery.
It's got a nice decor - plenty of room and a separate bar/lounge area from the main dining area - and there are outdoor seats as well if the weather is warm enough.

It's a "Howard is clueless" episode! One of us, we won't name any names, didn't take enough English classes to know the basic conflict archetypes — Man vs. Man, Man vs. Self, and Man vs. Nature. In this episode we focus on that third one.
One example of Man vs. Nature is Dragonflight, by Anne McCaffrey. Another is Lucifer's Hammer, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. In both of these cases, while Man vs Nature is the main plot, Man vs. Man sub-plots keep the story moving.
We talk about the strengths of this type of story, some of the pitfalls to avoid, lots of examples of the archetype, and then we focus on what you can do to tell this sort of story well.
New Word of the Week: "Stereotropical" – a mashup of "stereotypical" and "trope." Use it when your meaning can't possibly be confused with "tropical islands in stereo."

The Dan Rather watermelon comment against Obama just recently has sparked accusations that the remark sounded very racist:
On his appearance on The Chris Matthews Show, Rather stated:
And the Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument. "Listen he just hasn't been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death." And a version of, "Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate" this is what's been used against him, "but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."(NYTimes)
What do you think about the comment? Are people just being nit-picky?

On becoming an honorary Gasketeer
On Saturday I did a talk at the Tagore Festival which I hope to get a film of up soon. Instead of using powerpoint, I told the story of Transition using different objects which different initiatives had sent me. It went really well, and was a really enjoyable way of doing it. One of the most substantial 'props' was a fully functioning Victorian gas lamp which the Malvern Gasketeers had brought all the way from Malvern that morning. My thinking had been that the crescendo of my talk would be to invite them onstage and that they would light the lamp for all to see. However, while setting up we were told that in order to light it we would have needed a licence from the local Council, so it remained unlit, albeit rather beautiful nonetheless.

How to get more women riding bikes
To mark International Women's Day, a discussion of women in cycling, from bygone days of the Rational Dress Society of the late Victorian era to Britain's twenty-first century successes in competition on the track and on the road. We ask why women are still three times less likely to ride bikes than men. Jen Kerrison and Jack Thurston are joined by Ann Kenrick, a trustee of the London Cycling Campaign and Natalie Justice of the Breeze Network at British Cycling.
Londoners On Bikes…with Votes!

Red Flag, Yellow Flag
Oh, how the tables have turned. In the late 19th century, people looked with alarm at the new 'horseless carriages' that were appearing on the public highways. Governments on both sides of the Atlantic responded by passing 'red flag laws' to regulate this new and potentially dangerous form of transport. In the UK, the Locomotive […]

Now that former all star Laker Andrew Bynum has join the Indiana Pacers, will the coaching staff go to a twin tower mindset as did San Antonio with Tim Duncan and David Robinson or will Bynum provide a defensive and offensive challenge off the bench?
One thing for sure, the Pacers are hoping Bynum will be an effective arsenal to Indiana's already loaded team.
With the Pacers still dominating teams at home and on the road, will they become more difficult to beat with the addition of Bynum?
If Bynum is very happy as he says he is with joining the Pacers, look for him to help the team become a likely candidate to play for the NBA championship.

When Mayor Mike Bloomberg last traveled to the Dominican Republic, he visited the memorial to those who died in the crash of American Airlines, which is located in the city of Benin. He commented that the memorial might well serve as a model for what he would eventually like to see in New York City. Now that the site for the memorial, on Beach 116 Street on the turnaround has been selected, the Benin memorial might become important in the thinking of city planners designing the Rockaway memorial. Pictured, the memorial stands at left while seats are set up for the anniversary of the event.

More Google Now Smart Features are just around the corner for the Nexus 5
A Publication has just revealed that some really fresh Google Now features are just around the corner for the Google Nexus 5 and are allegedly slated for November 13. Apparently Google Now will get even smarter than it currently is, with the voice-based assistant getting some sort of answering back features.
By now it's more than clear that the Nexus 5 is all about pure Google more than pure Android and it's no surprise that Google now is getting better. However, Google had confirmed that the new Google launcher is something that would be a Nexus 5 specific so it's something it'll be interesting to see if Google plans to roll out these updates to rest of the devices or not.

In the last few days, a couple of vintage Hondas showed up in the driveway, one a newcomer to my stable and one a return visitor after a tough couple of years. One doesn't look like a Honda 350 and the other one looks like one, but isn't!
What appears to be a 1965 Honda CB77 Super Hawk is, if the story is correct, an actual WEBCO 350cc kitted bike with a H-C roller rocker camshaft kit installed, as well. The bike was reportedly built in the 1970s, back when some of these parts were still in active circulation. I had the WEBCO 350cc kit instructions as a part of my CB/CL72-77 Restoration Guide CD package, but was missing the Harmon-Collins roller cam instruction sheets until now. The bike came with a binder with some photocopies of the parts books, the WEBCO installation instructions and an original H-C roller cam instruction page.
The camshaft timing ticket shows this camshaft to be 7236 MK1 model with 50/84 and 42/90 inlet/exhaust - open/closing events, with .346/.316" valve lift. A quick look at the left side exhaust valve tappet cover revealed a stout-looking rocker arm and a bright and shiny alloy valve retainer, which is consistent with the roller camshaft installation. Setting up this engine configuration is time-consuming and detailed, so one would hope that the job was done right the first time.
My expectations were lowered abruptly when I removed the point cover on the right side of the cylinder head. The whole ignition plate was installed UPSIDE DOWN, which only means ONE THING; the point cam was installed 180 degrees out of phase and they didn't notice it until the motor was put into the chassis. The only workaround is installing the point plate inverted to put the points back in phase with the camshaft timing. STRIKE ONE!
I quick look inside the float bowl revealed OLD gas lying in the bottom and the floats were hitting the edges of the float bowl gasket, preventing the float from traveling fully upwards to close the float valve. STRIKE TWO! On the tentative "plus-side," the main jets were #145s, as called for by the instruction sheets.
The bike had NOS OEM 1 piece -670 muffler systems installed, however both header pipes were slightly discolored already. Normally-tuned CB77s won't turn the header pipes blue/yellow unless they are not setup properly and then either left to idle too long or left with the choke ON too long. Incorrect ignition timing will also start an errant heat cycle, causing pipe discoloration, as well. STRIKE THREE!
In reviewing the overall build of the bike, I was dismayed to find that the suggested additional oiling modification for the cylinders was NOT performed. This oiling mod is created by drilling from the front of the cylinder block oil feed passage directly into the forward edge of the cylinder liner. The outer screw hole is then threaded and tapped for a small pipe plug.
The bike came without a battery, but the previous owner said that he had fired the bike up just after he purchased it a few years back, so the first order of business was to order a new, correct 12N9-3A battery. Apparently, this bike has not really been driven much, if at all. There is still the factory grease on the drive chain and the ribbed front tire is an OEM Bridgestone item, dating from WAY BACK WHEN.
According to the cam specifications tag, the valve clearances are to be set at .007" vs. .004" for a stock Super Hawk motor. I will verify these clearances prior to any attempt at starting the engine, with a prayer that the rest of the installation was done with some accuracy.
To be continued…
Meanwhile, I received a call from my friend Lisa, who owns "Rhonda the Honda," a 1974 CB350F, which has been café-racered out a little bit, but is getting long in the tooth now. Lisa was hit nearly head-on with some errant cage driver, causing her to suffer a broken forearm and damaged hand injuries. This was two and a half years ago! She is just now getting some kind of settlement from the insurance companies involved, as the car drive was under-insured at the time of the collision.
The bike took a frontal hit, bending the wheel, forks, plus smashing the headlight and front fender. Lisa had it towed to a local vintage repair shop who did an estimate on it, then let it sit for months on end, while repair funds could be procured. Eventually, it was put back on its feet with mostly used parts from salvage yards and eBay sellers. Lisa wasn't really able to drive the bike very much, so it went into long-term storage with old gas in the fuel system and a failing brake system. Lisa mentioned having to whack the caliper with a mallet every so often when the front brake would seize up. Finally, she had enough and parked it. Last week, the cry for help came via email and delivery was arranged a few days ago.
The brake system had just a bit of brake fluid left in the bottom of the reservoir, but little signs of fluid leakage around the brake lever, which is where they usually leak. I filled the little fluid cup and then went down to the brake caliper for a look. After removing the two large through-bolts, the caliper parted and it became evident that the brake fluid loss was down there, not up at the top. I dimly recalled doing a caliper clean on the bike, some years ago and surmised that the caliper piston was now deeply pitted causing the fluid leaks.
Using the master cylinder for fluid pressure, I was able to pump out the stuck brake pad, then the caliper piston followed shortly thereafter. Ker-plunk into the plastic drain pan it went! It didn't take much of a close look to see that the piston was riddled with termite-looking pits, all around the circumference of the piston surface. Time to ring up my buddy, Marty Mattern, owner of 4:1.com a website business dedicated to providing vintage Honda owners with a lot of the hardware and system parts to rebuild 40-50 year old Honda models.
Thankfully, someone has created formed float bowl gaskets for the 350-400F carburetors and he was about to get a new shipment in within a day or so. He also had the rest of the brake parts, including reproduction caliper bodies and pistons. An order has been placed and parts should arrive within a few days. In the meantime, the next step was to remove the carburetors for inspection and cleaning. Having owned many 350-400F bikes in the past, I can have the carbs off in about 10 minutes or less. They reeked of stale gasoline, but once the bowls were off, the jets all looked pretty good, but something was missing! All of the spring clips that hold the main jets in place were gone! Apparently, Honda no longer makes these available under the 16061-323-004 part number (CB500 Four source), so some enterprising company in AZ has begun to reproduce them at $45 a set.
The biggest issue with the carbs, beyond that, is that there were a lot of fine rust particles in the bottom of the float bowls. Opening the gas cap revealed a lot of rust buildup inside fuel tank, as it was not left filled-up when it went into storage. The air space above the fuel level condensed during hot/cold cycles of the last year and the moisture attacked the insides of the fuel tank surfaces. Dealing with rusty fuel tanks is not high on my list of favorite tasks in motorcycle repair, so I will have to drain what's in there and see just how bad things might really be.
So, why do I call this bike an imposter? When the head gasket started leaking, a few years back, I ordered a CB350F top end gasket set to make the repairs. Imagine my shock when the head gasket didn't fit the cylinder block! I rechecked the engine serial numbers and discovered that they started with CB400F…
Stay tuned for the next installment...

Finally—the California Legislature Approves the 2010-11 State Budget
Following 100 days, during an all-night session that started at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 7, 2010 and concluded on Friday, Oct. 8, the State legislature approved the 2011-12 budget. According to California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott, the budget includes an amount of good news for our system providing funds for greater growth in 2010-11 and expanding workforce training programs. However, the budget defers $189 million of the money promised until the next fiscal year.
The budget plan for community colleges includes:
The specific effects of this budget on COM will not be known until the CCCCO completes its analysis in upcoming weeks. While COM is a basic aid district deriving much of its funding from local tax dollars, we also receive significant state funding for our categorical programs. To the extent that categorical payments are deferred, the college's cash flow will be impacted. The result of deferring funding will place a burden on college districts to either borrow funds or use reserves until the State makes funding available next year.
The bad news for the State of California is that 2011-12 budget is expected to begin with at least a $10 billion deficit, which will likely result in more budget planning pain for the state legislature next year.

Meet Knoxville's Newest Subdivision. Wait, Subdivision?
From Margaret Everton on March 5, 2010 in Knoxville
Anyone can say "there's no place like home," and be speaking the truth. But nobody can say, "there's no place like home," and come home to this place. Maybe it's because this home is more than just a home. It's a clubhouse. And, with a price tag of $3mil, this isn't typical of your average middle-class neighborhood. It's a clubhouse for a community, the Bridgemore neighborhood (at the highest point of Farragut), which is transforming the ideal of what subdivision is all about.
Well start with the situation of Bridgemore, which is half the story. Usually, subdivision entrances are sharp turn-offs from busy boulevards, and a larger-than-life sign with a suggestion that the subdivision is some repository of nature. Once in the gate, you realize that the only repository of nature is a petunia growing in each window box, since the houses are so close together that hardly a lawnmower can pass between them.
OK, so its a bit of an exaggeration, but thats precisely the stereotype that the designers, landscapers, and dreamers of Bridgemore were reacting against. They yearned for that good ol days feel with the real no place like home mood attendant to it. So, the space that they created was just thatspace. Lots of it. The area is sprawling, boasting over 130 acres of park-like walkways and pastures. The homes are spread out, giving residents more elbowroom, but also offering enough proximity to be called a community.
Thankfully, not all the homes are as resplendently priced as the 3-million-dollar clubhouse. Most come in at right under the million-dollar mark. With spacious 4,000+ square-foot living spaces, theyre perfect for families and other people who need some room to stretch out. Each home is characterized by wide-open floor plans. Architectural teams collaborated on how to make the homes appear larger than what their footprint would seem to allow. So, they raised the first-floor ceilings to ten feet or higher, creating a far more spacious atmosphere. Big windows and vast verandas take the spacious outdoors and bring it right inside.
Each home is decked out with a new material, not yet mass-produced, but on the verge of becoming wildly popular. Its called Boral, and is moldable enough to look like crown molding, sturdy enough to use as siding, and realistic enough to look just like wood.
Although its a subdivision, none of the homes are reminiscent of the cookie-cutter look. Each one is unique. With the community offering a complimentary decorating service, each homeowner is able to create a just-them house, with a just-them look. What Bridgemore has done is put the home feel back in subdivision living. But then, we cant exactly call it a subdivision, can we?

The Band
FULLFORCE was formed in late 2008 by Stefan Elmgren (ex Hammerfall), Magnus Rosén (ex Hammerfall, X World 5) and Mike Andersson (Cloudscape, Silent Memorial, ex Planet Alliance). Mike & Stefan started to compose songs right away and everything clicked really well. In early 2009 they talked to legendary drummer and friend Anders Johansson (ex Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Hammerfall)
about joining the band as their permanent drummer. Even thou Anders have his drum duties in Hammerfall he is just as much the drummer in FULLFORCE and is also involved in the songwriting.
Shortly after Anders joined FULLFORCE Mike had a chat with guitar phenomenon CJ Grimmark (ex Narnia) about CJ sharing the guitar duties with Stefan. CJ couldn't say No to this opportunity so, also he joined the quintet. Nonetheless in early 2010 Magnus Rosén decided to leave the band mostly because he had taken too many musical jobs and had to sort out his future career and had to exclude a lot of projects he was involved in so, he felt he couldn't dedicate the time needed for FULLFORCE. So, shortly thereafter Tommy Larsson (ex Heed) filled the empty bassplayer spot in FULLFORCE. In less than 24hours after the official announcement of FULLFORCE existence to the metal scene several respected magazines and webzines contacted the band to do interviews and asking about the band in general.
During spring 2010 FULLFORCE started to record their album which was completely recorded during fall 2010. In November 2010 FULLFORCE started to colloborate with German company Clandestine Music in order to find label partners etc to secure a release of their first album in 2011. FULLFORCE have this far done a few club gigs in Sweden but, they are planning to tour as soon as everything's settled with recordlabels and other business partners.
Here's some feedback from people that have listened to the FULLFORCE album:
"High quality of Mike Anderssons voice… love it…I can hear tones of Dio and Coverdale and Dickinson … its all in there. The band is great.. very tight…and very competent. Everyone sounds like they are enjoying the songs. Great intros that really draw you into the song. Each player has done a great job.
// Tony Martin (ex Black Sabbath)
"Very tight band, full guitar sound and very steady drums. The whole production is a good combination between modern metal with a vintage feel because of the big catchy choruses. As expected great vocals by Mike Andersson, powerful and soulful, a bit more aggressive which fits the music. In short, a very solid album, congrats!
//Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One)

Tour the Ranch0
Sweet Haven Ranch is a peaceful, serene place where both horses and people come to reflect, renew and heal. This humble Ranch is tucked in between the tranquil fields of northeastern Wisconsin, about five miles west of a small community called Chilton.
It began with a vision. Pastor David Ward saw the need to give horses who were otherwise deemed "un-trainable" a second chance at life. With persistence, prayer and a lot of hard work and dedication, Sweet Haven Ranch became a reality.
The Ranch is a special, magical place where anyone can come spend time with the horses. We invite those with special needs, especially children with cognitive, emotional or physical disabilities, to come experience the peace and joy that comes simply by being in the presence of rescue horses.
We also offer horse riding lessons, training (on-site and off-site), and tours. We also invite the public to join us for group celebrations. To everyone who has helped make Sweet Haven Ranch a reality, thank you. To everyone who has yet to meet us and our horses, we invite you to join us.
Take a virtual "tour" of Sweet Haven Ranch by browsing the photos below, or visit our online photo gallery at our Flickr photostream here

User reviews on Free Radicals (Bose Zellen)
If you are a fan of these films you will no doubt like this one and as a fan myself I can tell you that it is definitely worth seeing in the theaters. I found the film to be very interesting, intriguing and I enjoyed every second of it. The overview of classic cinematic avant garde was perfectly arranged and the film is technically wonderful. I guess if you are not a fan of Pip Chodorov's films you might not enjoy this movie as much as i did but I still urge you to give it a try.

text:
Haiku A style of lyric poetry borrowed from the Japanese that typically presents an intense emotion or vivid image of nature, which, traditionally, is designed to lead to a spiritual insight. Haiku is a fixed poetic form, consisting of seventeen syllables organized into three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Today, however, many poets vary the syllabic count in their haiku. See also fixed form.
Hamartia A term coined by Aristotle to describe "some error or frailty" that brings about misfortune for a tragic hero. The concept of hamartia is closely related to that of the tragic flaw: both lead to the downfall of the protagonist in a tragedy. Hamartia may be interpreted as an internal weakness in a character (like greed or passion or hubris); however, it may also refer to a mistake that a character makes that is based not on a personal failure, but on circumstances outside the protagonist's personality and control. See also tragedy.
Hero, heroine See character.
Heroic couplet See couplet.
High comedy See comedy.
Historical criticism An approach to literature that uses history as a means of understanding a literary work more clearly. Such criticism moves beyond both the facts of an author's personal life and the text itself in order to examine the social and intellectual currents in which the author composed the work. See also cultural criticism, Marxist criticism, new historicism, postcolonial criticism.
Hubris or Hybris Excessive pride or self-confidence that leads a protagonist to disregard a divine warning or to violate an important moral law. In tragedies, hubris is a very common form of hamartia. See also hamartia, tragedy.
Hyperbole A boldly exaggerated statement that adds emphasis without intending to be literally true, as in the statement "He ate everything in the house." Hyperbole (also called overstatement) may be used for serious, comic, or ironic effect. See also figures of speech.
