Technical Paper
Abstract The design of the conventional passive suspension has always been a compromise between vehicle handling and comfort, which led to the development of the modern active and semi active suspension systems. Amongst these, semi-active suspension has been focus of research in recent years owing to its lesser complexity and less power consumption as compared to active suspension. Semi active suspension uses real time variation in damping coefficient which can be achieved by using various control strategies. It is observed from available literature that Skyhook (for better ride comfort), Groundhook (for better vehicle handling) and Hybrid are most widely used strategies. These strategies use 'On-Off' control strategy (i.e. two preset values of damping co-efficient) but a better control over damping coefficients can be achieved using Continuous Control strategy. This paper aims to implement Continuous control strategy using Fuzzy logic for the semi active suspension.
Technical Paper
Abstract Kinematic inputs such as camber, caster variation are very important for design of any suspension setup. Usual procedure is to get these inputs from kinematic software. But every designer cannot have this software & one has to learn them too. We have developed a method for kinematic analysis of McPherson strut type suspension which can be implemented on easily available and familiar software like MS Excel. Results obtained are in correlation with results from commercially available mechanism tools such as Pro mechanism. All links in suspension layout are considered as rigid. Vector calculus and other mathematical methods have been used to come up with final solution. Inputs required for mathematical program are suspension hardpoints, Lower arm angle from design orientation as wheel travel input and Rack stroke as steering input.
Technical Paper
Abstract Steering and suspension system has to be designed properly to achieve improved handling characteristics. Improper design of steering systems will result in steering errors such as bump steer and roll steer. These steering errors results in reduced steering performance. During the design of steering system the tie rod length has to be properly selected to reduce these steering errors. The purpose of the work is to analyze the effects of tie rod length variation on bump steer. Multi body dynamic model of the selected vehicle was created using MSC ADAMS Car software. Ideal design of steering system to achieve zero bump steer was created. The tie rod length was later varied up to 10% to study the effect of varying length on bump steer. Parallel wheel travel analysis was conducted to study the tie rod length variation on bump steer. Acceleration test was conducted on a flat road having bump to analyze the effect of changing tie rod length on steering performance of the vehicle.

This recommended practice has been developed to assist engineers and designers in the preparation of specifications for the major types of helical compression and extension springs. It is restricted to a concise presentation of items which will promote an adequate understanding between spring manufacturer and spring user of the major practical requirements in the finished spring. Closer tolerances are obtainable where greater accuracy is required and the increased cost is justified. For the basic concepts underlying the spring design and for many of the details see the SAE Information Report MANUAL ON DESIGN AND APPLICATION OF HELICAL AND SPIRAL SPRINGS, SAE HS 795, which is available from SAE Headquarters in Warrendale, PA 15096. A uniform method for specifying design information is shown in the TYPICAL DESIGN CHECK LISTS FOR HELICAL SPRINGS, SAE J1122.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides basic recommendations for dispensing and handling of SAE J1703 and SAE J1704 Brake Fluids by Service Maintenance Personnel to assure their safe and effective performance when installed in or added to motor vehicle hydraulic brake actuating systems. This document is concerned only with brake fluid and those system parts in contact with it. It describes general maintenance procedures that constitute good practice and that should be employed to help assure a properly functioning brake system. Recommendations that promote safety are emphasized. Specific step-by-step service instructions for brake maintenance on individual makes or models are neither intended nor implied. For these, one should consult the vehicle manufacturer's service brake maintenance procedures for the particular vehicle. Vehicle manufacturer's recommendations should always be followed.
WIP Standard
This SAE Recommended Practice furnishes sample forms for helical compression, extension and torsion springs to provide a uniform method for specifying design information. It is not necessary to fill in all the data, but sufficient information must be supplied to fully describe the part and to satisfy the requirements of its application. For detailed information, see 'Design and Application of Helical and Spiral Springs - SAE HS 795 SEP82', also 'Helical Compression and Extension Spring Terminology - SAE J1121 NOV75.' Both of these documents use SI (metric) units in accordance with the provisions of SAE J916 MAY85, and so does SAE J1122. Here, however, the U.S. Customary Units (in, lb, psi) have been added in parentheses after each SI Unit for the convenience of the user who must furnish specifications on a project where all requirements are listed in non-metric terms.

Abstract The disk spring offers the potential of significant weight savings when designed with continuous fiber reinforced composite materials. The internal stresses in a disk spring are ideally suited for composite material application due to their superior resistance to in-plane and bending stresses. In this study, a composite laminate disk spring is designed, analyzed and fabricated to take advantage of the low specific strength and weight and high damage tolerance of composite laminates. The design of the disk composite spring considers effects of the laminate stacking sequence and the geometric variables on the disk spring's mechanical performance. A continuum damage finite element analysis approach is used to understand the damage initiation and evolution as a function of applied load. Experimental analysis and a progressive damage analysis based on virtual crack closure technique are performed to evaluate the damage tolerance of the disk spring under fatigue loadings.

This SAE Standard covers molded rubber boots used as end closures on drum-type wheel brake actuating cylinders to prevent the entrance of dirt and moisture, which could cause corrosion and otherwise impair wheel brake operation. The document includes performance tests of brake cylinder boots of both plain and insert types under specified conditions and does not include requirements relating to chemical composition, tensile strength, or elongation of the rubber compound. Further, it does not cover the strength of the adhesion of rubber to the insert material where an insert is used. The rubber material used in these boots is classified as suitable for operation in a temperature range of -40 to +120 °C ± 2 °C (-40 to + 248 °F ± 3.6 °F).
The purpose of this test is to evaluate the axial strength of the nut seat of wheels intended for use on passenger cars, light trucks, and multipurpose vehicles. In addition, a minimum contact area is recommended to ensure enough strength for the rotational force in tightening a nut against the nut seat. While this test ensures the minimum strength of the nut seat, the wheel must also have a degree of flexibility. This flexibility, as well as bolt tension, are important to maintain wheel retention.

Journal Article
Abstract The aim of this investigation is the improvement of the lateral vehicle dynamics by optimizing the rim width. For that purpose, the rim width is considered as a development tool and configured with regard to specified targets. Using a specifically developed method of simulation, the influence of the rim width is analysed within different levels - starting at the component level "tyre" and going up to the level of the whole vehicle. With the help of substantial simulations using a nonlinear two-track model, the dimensioning of the rim width is brought to an optimum. Based on both, tyre and vehicle measurements, the theoretical studies can be proved in practice. As a result, the rim width has a strong influence on the behaviour of the tyre as well as on the overall vehicle performance, which emphasises its importance as a potential development tool within the development of a chassis.

Abstract In ride comfort as well as driving dynamics, the behavior of the vehicle is affected by several subsystems and their properties. When analyzing the suspension, especially the characteristics of the main spring and damper but also rubber bushings are of main importance. Still, the properties of the different components are dependent on the present operating conditions. Concerning rubber bushings, several effects have already been investigated, e.g. dependencies of the transfer function of frequency, amplitude or load history. In this context influences of changes in temperature are often neglected. However, in the following research, the focus specifically lies on determination and analysis of the temperature dependency of rubber bushings. For this purpose, initially the relationship between properties of pure rubber and rubber bushings is described, which serves as a basis for correlating respective temperature dependencies.

Systematic Modeling Technique by using Function Power Graph on the Centrifugal Anti-Lock Braking System Simulation
Technical Paper
A systematic modeling methodology using Function Power Graph (FPG) to analyze mechanical systems is proposed in this paper, and the novel Centrifugal Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) is used as the example. In this paper, a systematic modeling process combined with the FPG method and SimulationX-based modeling has been demonstrated. First, schematic diagram and working principle of the C-ABS model has been developed and illustrated. Based on the FPG method, several symbols (power unit, clutch/brake unit, and connection unit) for the C-ABS have been introduced. Second, system mode, operation, and function inspection of the C-ABS have been analyzed. Then, each component model of the C-ABS (wheel, disc brake, gearbox, and centrifugal braking device) has been established, and then the schematic diagram of the C-ABS has been transferred into practical image of the system structure (or physical model) through SimulationX to identify the dynamic characteristics of the C-ABS.
Technical Paper
The aim of the present study is to develop feasible test methods to measure tire parameters that can be used in two wheeler industry for tire development. In this work, test methods are developed to measure the longitudinal friction coefficient and stiffness characteristics of motorcycle tires. Using the measured longitudinal forces from the testing procedure, a fairly accurate tire model has been developed. Based on this tire model the braking performance of the motorcycle is estimated using an analytical model of the vehicle. These are validated with experimental data. It is found that there is a good match between the results. The test is conducted for various bias ply tires used in motorcycles and the results are presented. The test methods proposed are shown to be adequate to estimate tire characteristics that are important for tire development and is less expensive compared to the standard testing facilities available.

I'm working on a relatively simple iPhone application that has a multi-round Timer with a number of settings such as the number of rounds and round length. We allow certain settings to be upated while the timer is running which means the timer may be reading from the same memory that the settings are writing. There are no critical sections of code where multiple threads will be executing at the same time but code from the settings may be trying to write memory the timer is reading from.
In terms of a simple example, let's say we a global variable foo and there is an NSTimer method which looks as follows:
-(void)timerTick { NSString *x = foo; }
then in the settings code, we do this while the timer is running:
foo = @"test";
Will it be enough to make foo atomic in this application or do we need some kind of locking scheme?

What's the difference between referring to an instance variable in an objective-c class as this:
if it's been declared as a property in the header and synthesized?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What's the difference between referring to an instance variable in an objective-c class as this:
if it's been declared as a property in the header and synthesized?
If you refer to self.myVar, it will use the @property declared in your header file.
For example
@property(nonatomic, retain) Class *myClass;
If you have
myClass = [ [ Class alloc ] init .... ];
Retain Count will be 1 But if you use
self.myClass = [ [ Class alloc ] init .... ];
Retain Count will be 2 because of the retain property.
It's the same if you set setter || getter method in the @property.
Simple: The former does not refer to an instance variable.
It refers to a property named
The property is, of course, misnamed, because a property and an instance variable do not necessarily have anything to do with each other, and indeed a property does not even need to be backed by an instance variable.
Attempting to access
are exactly the same.
Likewise, attempting to assign to
are exactly the same.
By comparison, referring to the instance variable
is exactly that: accessing a variable; nothing more.
This means a lot.
The accessors, particularly the setter, tend to have side effects. For example, if the property is declared as
Since an assignment to a property:
is an accessor message, that "assignment" will cause the old value to be released and the new value to be retained/copied.
An assignment to a variable:
being nothing more than an assignment to a variable, will not do that. If you owned the old value of
Despite the two looking similar, they are very, very different.
As a general rule, you should use your properties everywhere except
That doesn't matter.
Failing to do one or more of those things for a property will get you a warning from the compiler and probably some run-time exceptions, because you never actually stated an implementation for the accessors that (by declaring a
The difference is that
Without the self. part you'll be accessing/assigning the actual data member of the class, without going through the getter/setter generated by @synthesize (or you can write your own getter/setter if you need something more fancy than the default behavior).
Note that in those custom accessors you'd pretty much have to omit the self. part to avoid endless recursion, e.g. if you have a string property called s, a setter could be (this is similar to what is generated when you do @synthesize, by the way):
calls a property method that you can later change or add to, and that might do some memory management as well. For instance, you could make setting self.ivar also change ivar2, increment ivar3, bounds check ivar4, send a message to object5, release object6, play sound7, etc.
just reads or writes some number of bits in memory.

On the Hunt for Jaws Jr.
Hooking a fearsome fish off the coast of the Florida Panhandle takes a sturdy rod and a whole lot of bait
Shark fishing isn't for the angler who wants to come home with a sumptuous meal. Federal laws mandate that many shark species be released after they're hooked, lest their numbers dwindle. And shark generally isn't as tasty as other game fish anyway.
The lure is the rush that comes with matching wits, resolve and brawn with a creature that has evolved over an estimated 430 million years into one of the planet's most efficient, lethal and feared predators. To reel in several feet of thrashing, toothy, ill-tempered shark takes more than a slouch with a fishing rod.
At least, that was my theory when I loaded my family onto a 51-foot-long fishing boat in Destin, a carefree tourist town on the Florida Panhandle, one hazy recent morning. Our guide and captain, Todd Allen, fired up the boat's twin 550-horsepower engines and motored us six miles out into the Gulf of Mexico, away from Destin's sugary-sand beaches and boozing spring breakers. Along the way, he torpedoed my naiveté about shark fishing. I didn't have delusions of harpooning whale-size sharks like in the 1975 film "Jaws." But I figured we'd at least see some big, scary fins knifing along the water's surface.
Not so. Most sharks feed well below the surface. And sharks, Mr. Allen told me as Big John lumbered through the waves, are the quarry not of the aggressive angler, but the patient one. Instead of trolling baited hooks and lures behind a moving boat as you might to catch marlin or other glamorous game fish, the strategy with sharks is to let them come to you. You anchor, drop lines, toss out some chum—a mixture of fish blood, oils and chunks—and wait. Then you chum some more. And wait some more.
The waiting tends to drive vacationing fisherman to pursue other fish. There are many tasty species to be caught in Destin's waters—snapper, amberjack, grouper, among others—and less than 10% of Mr. Allen's clients go after sharks.
That majority is foolish, in my opinion. If you want to eat grouper, order it at a restaurant. Why drop a hook into the deep blue if not to confront a creature that has haunted mankind's psyche for millennia? Even growing up in Denver, 1,000 miles from the nearest beach, I always harbored a fear of sharks. My excitement aboard the Big John was fueled by my perception, even if overblown, of danger.
The largest shark that Mr. Allen had seen caught in his 30 years as a charter-boat captain was a 700-pound mako that took three hours to reel in. Aside from speedy makos, other sharks commonly found in local waters include toothy tiger sharks, big duskies, hammerheads, leaping black-tip and spinner sharks, and bull sharks, the pit bulls of the sea. For better or worse, the water is too warm for great whites.
At about 9 a.m., he dropped anchor in an area he called Broken Bottom. Around 90 feet below the surface, the seafloor there is a gully running a mile long and up to 500 yards wide, and the coral and natural debris that gather provide hiding places for fish. That, in turn, draws sharks. In fact, another captain's clients had seen three big bull sharks—the most aggressive of the species—at Broken Bottom the previous weekend.
Deckhand Brian Friend brought two long, thick fishing rods out of the cabin. Each was equipped with monofilament line tested to hold a fish of up to 80 pounds. At the end of each line was a 10-foot leader: braided steel wire capable of withstanding 700 pounds of strain, meant to keep a fish from biting through the line. To the end of the leader he attached four-inch steel hooks. He then slapped foot-long Boston mackerel and bonita onto a cutting board and sliced their sides so that maximum fluids would leak out. Mr. Friend impaled the bait on the hooks and dropped them off the stern.
Next, we dispensed chum from a 55-gallon bucket filled halfway with carcasses of bonita and snappers marinating in a cocktail of seawater and their own blood. "Sharks like the nasty stuff," the deckhand said, as the chum created a faint cloud of fish parts and a slick of fish oil that fanned across the water's surface.
Then we settled in to wait. We killed time by sinking two lines equipped with smaller hooks baited with squares of squid meat. This resulted in my stepfather, my father-in-law, my young sons and me reeling in an assortment of small white snappers, rock fish, a trigger fish and a remora. The remora—a scavenger that attaches itself to sharks—was a particularly good sign that our quarry lurked nearby.
But within a couple of hours, I was growing impatient. The early haze had cleared and the sun was beating on us. Even the little fish had quit biting. The waves weren't massive, but the boat's rocking was enough to make my sons, 9 and 7 years old, seasick. I worried that the sharks had passed us by.
Then suddenly, my line pulled, strong and steady. I had been dangling a three-inch strip of mackerel just above the seafloor, and something had engulfed it. The rod bent into a semicircle as I fought whatever I had hooked. I felt the familiar adrenaline surge sparked by not knowing exactly what is on the other end of your line. It could be a snapper. Or an amberjack. Or a shark.
I began reeling in the line, making slow progress against the force at the other end. Mr. Friend fastened me into a belt equipped with a plastic holder for the butt of the rod, giving me more leverage. After about 15 minutes of my cranking and straining, we could discern in the depths the shape of what I'd hooked.
"You got your shark," Mr. Friend announced.
THE LOWDOWN: Destin, Fla.
Getting There: Flights from a number of southeastern cities arrive daily at Pensacola International Airport, roughly 54 miles west of Destin, and Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, about 50 miles east of town in Panama City.
Where to Stay: Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort (sandestin.com) offers hundreds of rental properties, ranging from $209 per night for a one-bedroom unit to $699 per night for a three-bedroom villa. The Surfside Resort (1096 Scenic Gulf Dr., resortquestdestinvacations.com) has one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums for rent and provides direct beach access, a pool and a spa.
Where to Eat: Some of the best beachfront and patio dining is at the Crab Trap (3500 Old Highway 98 E., crabtrapdestin.com). Sandestin Resort's Village of Baytowne Wharf has several restaurants, including the '50s-style Hartell's Village Diner, where you can get a hamburger for a decent price. At San Gelato Café (sangelatocafe.com), scoops of frozen dessert await.
What to Do: Hit HarborWalk Marina (66 Harbor Blvd., harborwalk-destin.com) to find a fishing boat for charter. Todd Allen, captain of the charter boat Big John, takes clients out in search of flounder, tuna, redfish, marlin and sharks, among other game (from $175 per hour, charterboatbigjohn.com). Baytowne Wharf offers a host of activities to keep children busy, including a zip line, a rope course and weekly concerts.
Sharks are smooth, steady swimmers, so the pull on the line was constant and heavy rather than the spastic tugging that I have experienced from other fish. Once the shark broke the surface, it thrashed and glided as we took pictures. It was just four feet long, but strong, with a brown body, white belly and baleful, brownish-yellow eyes.
I called my sons out of the boat's cabin to see the dusky. Made bold by excitement, I leaned over the boat's back rail, my face inches from the water to snap the shark's picture. Eventually, we cut the line—at some point the hook would fall, or rust, out of the shark's mouth.
We got a another thrill just after noon, when one of the larger rods on the boat's back rail bent sharply.
This fish was less cooperative than the others and I had to fight harder for each turn of the reel. The line cut across the water to the side of the boat, then veered beneath the hull before re-emerging a minute or two later. Eventually, I began pausing for a few seconds between each crank of the reel, allowing my shoulders and arms a brief rest.
Though the tug of war didn't last much longer than the first two, it was more exhausting. As the shark neared the surface, Mr. Allen emerged from his bridge a few feet above our heads for a look. "That's a 50-pounder," he remarked.
It was a dusky nearly five feet in length—not much larger than the first two. It was feisty, though, thrashing its head from side to side to try to spit the hook. We couldn't cut the line to release the fish because it ended with the steel leader. So Mr. Friend used a gaff to hoist the shark partly out of the water by its jaws and finagle the hook loose.
Our final tally was three duskies. They weren't leviathans worthy of a summer blockbuster, but they were sharks, with the teeth to prove it. I don't expect other fish will ever deliver the same excitement—or bite.

I am sorry I am not getting the message. This ad has all the right creative with out any thought to selling us the point of the mountain goat in the first place.
To [adbrandetc] mountain goat = mountain bike = climbs mountains
Excellent work.
great work and nice art direction.Looks very professional for a student work
All you people get caught up in the pretty picture, there is no idea here.... move along.
First idea that comes: let's compare the bike with a beast that climbs. It's obvious. For any student that might watch this: you should pass this level in your notebook while sketching. Don't bother spending hours on computer.
To bad the parts used for the goat aren't real parts of this model mountain bike!

As my friend, PC saleman, said, the ordinary PC
shopper always asks when the window98 would be availabel.
customers do not bother to deal with upgrade the windows
themselves, and for those clients, the pc saleman always
recommend them to wait until windwow98 availabel.
am waiting for window98 for long time in order to
get the third PC at home. One pc purchase would allow
me to upgrade my another two PC at home. I just do
not understand why DOJ would attack msft for their
popular product. If someone else has any product, just
show it up. These kinds of things just look like socks
only good for two years. If anyone has better products

change overnight.

Mike, you keep reiterating the same hopeless
argument--and that is AMD can compete on price alone. Its a
failed strategy. But I guess we'll all wait around for

AMD's yield problem is over.

Distributors are a vital link in the chain that starts at a distillery and ends with a cocktail in your glass. Without them, the fine bars and bottle shops of Atlanta would be booze broke. As VP of Spirits for Quality Wine & Spirits, one of Georgia's leading distributors, Lindy Colburn clearly wants to make sure that doesn't happen.
Like many folks who end up with a career in the world of spirits, Colburn started working in bars during college, where a commitment to quality cocktails was not often top of mind. At one of the bars where she worked in Gainesville, Fla., the big draw was amateur female boxing. Another had a beach club theme and insisted that bartenders stand on the bar to pour margarita shots directly into customers' mouths. Colburn quickly got canned for refusing, foreshadowing her future ability to design a proper cocktail menu.
Colburn's bartending career shot off in Atlanta in the early 2000s at places like MidCity Cuisine and then with Riccardo Ullio's now-defunct duo of Beleza and Cuerno. Colburn ran the bar programs for Ullio, tilting to drinks like a sparkling sangria with kumquat and seasonal citrus at the Spanish Cuerno, or exotic fruit juice-driven cocktails based on Brazilian flavors at Beleza. She was even an early adopter of using sous vide for infusing spirits and syrups. But life behind the bar led to other things. Now, Colburn is part of that vital link that helps supply bars and bottle shops around Georgia with the good stuff.
What prompted the move from behind the bar to behind behind the bar?
It was really a culmination of factors. We opened both Cuerno and Beleza in a seven-month time period. Anyone who's been on the opening team of a restaurant will understand what grueling work that was. The last time I had gone through the process, I wasn't a mother, but this time around my daughter was starting kindergarten, and it was really tough on both of us. One day she said to me, "You only have one day a week for the family." It gutted me, and I knew something had to give.
Around the same time, my rep from Quality asked if I'd ever thought about moving to the distribution side. Quality was interesting to me because Bill Yorks had started this beautiful little craft spirits portfolio that I was totally enamored with. It's a very delicate thing to go from a bar to a distributor, because no one wants to upset a great customer by stealing one of their people. I really struggled with the choice. I knew what was going on around the country in cocktails, and it was just getting started in Atlanta, so I worried that I was getting out too soon. My quality of life is better now, but there are times when I still really miss the camaraderie and energy of behind the bar.
What role does a job like yours play in helping to shape Atlanta's cocktail scene?
One of the most important things I do is seeking out new distilleries and products, and making sure they get into the right hands once they're in our market. I also help educate both our sales force and buyers and staff at bars on spirits and cocktails.
Manhattan or Old Fashioned?
Manhattan. It's my end-of-the-day cocktail. Typically with High West Double Rye and Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. Depending on where I'm at in the night, I might invert the ratio to 2 parts vermouth and 1 part rye. Paul Calvert claims that's called a "Bridge & Tunnel," but I have a feeling he made that up.
Vodka martini or gin martini?
Gin. I only drink vodka in Bloody Marys, or when I'm with my mom. She's a vodka tonic drinker. She has two every night and has as long as I can remember.
Wine or beer?
Wine. It's just more of an everyday drink for me. That said, there are certain places that I always drink beer — Brick Store, the Porter, on boats, at festivals, with barbecue.
Having been a bartender, what surprised you most about the distribution side of the business?
How low the margins are! As a buyer at a bottle shop or bar, you have this sense that all distributors have tons of money to throw around. I was shocked to learn how inaccurate that was. Another big surprise was how long it takes a product to get from point A to point B. You think, "Oh, it's just stored in New Jersey, we should be able to have it in a day or two." The reality is that it takes seven to 14 days to get something out of one warehouse and in to another.
What are some of your favorite new spirits now available?
I love so many things that came around this year! The Dolin Genepy, which is very green herbal, or Cappelletti Aperitivo, which is a bitter like Campari. They're both just plain delicious. Hayman's Royal Dock Gin is such a stellar value. And the whole Giffard line of liqueurs — their "banane du bresil" will change the way your feel about banana liqueurs. January will bring about the relaunch of the eau de vies and liqueurs from St. George and a rhum agricole from Guadalupe called Damoiseau. And at some point in 2014, after much pestering on my part, we should finally see the Hayman's Sloe Gin and hopefully their London Dry in the U.S. as well.
Are there things you sell that you have a hard time really getting behind?
I have a hard time with products that have been cooked up in a marketing meeting and aren't driven by a true desire to make the best spirit possible. One of my least favorite things to do is sit across the table from someone pitching me on something saying, "It's what women want to drink." Not this woman, or any of her friends.
What's the biggest liquor-related gripe you hear these days?
Hands down the biggest gripe I deal with on a daily basis is the lack of Black Maple Hill Bourbon. I hear it from my co-workers, from our buyers, from people I meet at parties that can't find it at their local store anymore. People want it because they can't have it.
When you hear the following words immediately comes to mind?
Mixologist: A polarizing term that I have no issue with.
Craft distillery: It's getting crowded.
Bitters: The bartender's spice rack.
Vodka soda: Why?
PBR: Tallboys.
Fernet: Bartenders' crack.
What was the last great drink you had?
The eggnog at Miller Union. It inspired me to make three batches of eggnog at home over Christmas that were largely consumed by me.
Interesting trends you see hitting Atlanta's bars in 2014?
I think we'll continue to see fortified wines gaining favor with bartenders, Madeira and sherry especially. And I don't think the thirst for all things bitter and herbal has been fully quenched — expect to see some lesser-known styles from various European countries enter the market. I also think that we will see a return to a more fun, less serious attitude behind the bar.

Anytime in which a specific discipline requires a human being to put facts in a info administration structure, there are bound to be glitches. Of course this is particularly true in the event the information happens to be entered while in the busy surroundings of the clinic or doctor's place of work, using the data admission person's co-workers all moving around, using the same space, speaking about work-related issues of concern regarding the workplace or maybe perhaps their particular issues. Put inside that mixture a steady stream regarding clients, the real annoyance regarding patients that happen to be not well and also short-tempered and irritated with needing to delay even a minute or two, and also a switchboard that under no circumstances stops buzzing, and all of a sudden you can actually see this indisputable fact that blunders are generally manufactured upon healthcare forms and also on bills.
Nearly all recipients involving any form associated with business service know the importance of checking out their very own statements plus bills for accuracy. They must ensure that all the facts within the bill are actually accurate, the amount wanted will be the one approved, and also that past repayments, in case any, have been correctly credited. They must hold their invoice stubs, particularly the final one which shows a zero balance, as confirmation how the invoice was completely paid. As private individuals are shrewd to actually stop and identify the opportunity of individual oversight, plus examine their charges with regard to precision, so it will be regarding organizations that provide the debts. It is a fact that computing devices rarely create errors, yet they are merely as effective as the intended individuals that present them their particular information, and that is where is the potential for error.
For this reason, in a managed treatment scenario, that always there will be a staff of bill review specialists whose responsibility it's to produce specialty bill review with the numerous practices that participate in the whole medical care entity. Different programs take care of payment assessment in different ways, although virtually all will investigate and frequently twin check to make certain the information presented to the intended computing devices is true. Only when there's no doubt the knowledge includes correct information can exact results become extrapolated utilizing data management methods. Identifying accuracy is just one of many ways your monitored treatment strategy will save income.

Generations X and Y are two very different breeds. Of course, it's a given that a group of people will change as ideologies, politics, and style shift over time. But what's really responsible for the defining characteristics of a generation? Some say it's written in the stars.
With the help of astrologist Anna Payne, we decided to take a look what astrology says about the two generations, as well as the folks who feel stuck in between.
2. Generational astrology vs. astrological signs — there's a difference.
When it comes to generational astrology, we're looking at planetary movements and not one's personal birth sign. Depending on what month or year it is, the planets in our solar system pass through different "signs," and that's how we get terminology like "Uranus in Libra."
4. Astrology and Generation X
Between the years 1968 and 1974, we can look at these notable cosmological events: Uranus in Libra, Neptune in Scorpio-Sagittarius, and Pluto in Virgo-Libra.
What all of this means: This generation was ruled both by social justice crusaders (Uranus wants freedom, Libra wants balance and peace) and romantic artists. Those looking to change the world may have done so aggressively, which might explain why Gen X began fueling conversations concerned with reproductive rights, multiculturalism, and sexual freedom.
But this was also a generation of artists who began communicating and responding to each other in ways other generations had not. Many of these artists wanted to make public messages with their work (rather than focusing inward) — however, these romantic and idealistic figures weren't immune to tragedy. Look at Kurt Cobain, who, despite being born a year earlier than the given time frame, is undeniably a Gen X mascot.
5. Astrology and the cusp of Gen X & Y
While not universally recognized as their own generation, those born between 1975 and 1982 sometimes feel generation-less, and some would prefer to be recognized as their own generation. Here's what the planets were doing between '75 and '82: Uranus in Scorpio, Neptune in Sagittarius, and Pluto in Libra.
What this all means: True to middle-child form, this group felt (and feels) alienated. However, they're incredibly independent, asking how they could continue and transform things Gen Xers started. Neptune explores the world, while Sagittarius relates to movement, so Cuspers are natural explorers (of both the physical and metaphysical), and are always seeking what they can't define. Sexuality for this group became more fluid (and potentially confusing with things like open relationships). But ultimately, this group wants to maintain peace and keep people happy. No wonder Ryan Gosling is such a sexy people-pleaser.
6. Astrology and Generation Y
Here's what movement happened between 1983 and 1987: Uranus in Sagittarius, Neptune in Sagittarius, and Pluto in Libra- Scorpio.
What this all means: While this cohort generally feels misunderstood, they also care less about what others think, and show their feelings of rebellion outwardly (which may explain why a certain type of Goth is just so Gen Y). Neptune wants spirituality and to seek higher knowledge and Sagittarius is on the lookout, which results in a strong desire for answers, even if it seems getting there may be unrealistic. Pluto is at home in Scorpio, for good or ill. Pluto is the natural ruler for Scorpio, dealing with sex, death, and rebirth. This kind of passion fights for gay rights instead of just dealing with the rules.
7. To sum it up, here's how astrology defines these generations:
Gen X: Crusaders.
Cuspers: Peace makers.
Gen Y: Driven dreamers.

Product Description
Product Description
He's sold over 45 million records. His last two albums, Drive & Greatest Hits Volume II are certified 4x platinum & 3x platinum respectively. He's hit the #1 spot on the radio charts with more than 30 singles. He's been awarded more than 25 ACM, AMA & CMA awards combined. It's been a great journey & it just keeps getting better. As Alan Jackson would say, "Too Much Of A Good Thing Is A Good Thing."
Swaddled in the usual twang and spiced up by Stuart Duncan's sparkling mandolin and fiddle, Jackson continues his endless exploration of joy and sorrow tempered by his guileless humility. As usual, his originals provide the most power. The joy of "Too Much of a Good Thing" contrasts with the throbbing sense of loss found on "Rainy Day in June." Too cute and transparent for its own good, "USA Today" pales (though the publishers surely loved the plug) next to the finely honed laments "If French Fries Were Fat Free" and "You Don't Have to Paint Me a Picture." The latter, with the line "Your love's like some old cheap magic marker that said forever, now it's gone," is worthy of Harlan Howard. Of the non-originals, "Talkin' Song Repair Blues" may be a songwriters' in-joke, but the Billy Burnette-Shawn Camp composition "Burnin' the Honky Tonks Down" yanks Jackson from his usual laid-back comfort zone into a ripping vocal-instrumental jam. As a whole, the album stands as a benediction to an artist whose integrity and success has prevailed in the face of endless trends and fads that have swept away many lesser talents. --Rich Kienzle

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
Alan's vocals are delivered with raw emotion. One of the cd's most powerful song has to be "Monday Morning Church" a song about a man who has lost his love and is trying to cope with what he loved being put in the ground. You can feel his pain when he sings about her things she left behind. The backup vocal's of Patty Loveless only add to the overall effect. The cd is worth the price for this cut.
The whole cd isn't about heartbreak. A few of the others are about not letting love slip by with "If Love Was A River" Another tune that should really smoke in a live setting with Alan's top notch band "The Stray horns"
has to be "Burning The Honky Tonks down" about a man's wife tired of sitting home and goes after the Honky Tonks and torches them. Fans of the Oak Ridge Boys should instantly recognize the bass voice of Richard Strenban providing backup.
One to that's sure to make you smile is "If French Fries Were Fat Free" If his wife still loved him, came back home and fries were fat free his life would be perfect. Then there is the Takin song repair blues about a mechanic who is a songwriter and pitches a song while working on his car. Only to find out his song isn't that good, but Alan can fix it for him in exchange for working on his car plus 100 bucks. After listening to this cd it should prove to the listener that Alan is the king of traditional country music. So hail to the king.
"What I do" is what he does so perfectly: A blend of lilting ballads of the love-lost variety, up-tempo numbers with a nice slice of humor ("The Talkin' Song Repair Blues" is hilarious), and with a blazing track to show off the immense virtuosity of the musicians, "Burnin' the Honkey Tonks Down" will knock your socks off. Stuart Duncan (fiddle) and Hargus "Pig" Robbins (piano) are among those that back Jackson in this CD, with the exception of the final track, which was recorded live at the 2004 Flameworthy Awards in Nashville, and has a different line-up, which includes guitarist Tom Rutledge.
The singles from this CD are "Too Much of a Good Thing" and "Monday Morning Church" (the lovely Patty Loveless sings harmony on the latter), but there isn't a song on this CD that isn't hit-worthy...it is excellence through and through.
Jackson wrote five of the twelve songs (tracks # 1, # 2, # 3, # 5, and # 6), and "Rainy Day in June", a delicate and sad love song, is a favorite...though it's hard to pick favorites in this album.
The sound is crystal clear, the booklet insert contains recording info and all the lyrics, and total playing time is 44'48.
Thank you for your time.
"Too Much Of A Good Thing", Alan's current hit, is about a guy who can't get enough of the one he loves. It's rapidly climbing the charts. "If Love Was A River" is a song about taking the opportunity to build a relationship("If love was a river and I was a drowning man/Would you go in the water, would you lend me a hand"). "There Ya Go" is another song with that same theme("There ya go, you're doing fine/Take each day like a step/One at a time"). Of course, Alan has his usual dose of heartbreak and lost love. "You Don't Have To Paint Me A Picture", "Rainy Day In June", and "Strong Enough" are all strong "heartbreak" numbers, with the speaker saying in "Strong Enough": "Mexico, you don't make tequila/Strong enough to get her off my mind." In "USA Today", the speaker tries to put a positive spin on his breakup. He won't have to worry because the newsman called and told him that "they're...puttin' me on the cover of the USA Today". "Monday Morning Church", though, tops them all. Trying to cope with the loss of his wife, the man won't go anywhere, even to church, since "they took all that he believed and laid it in the ground". The closing number "To Do What I Do", which was recorded live, could very well be Alan's celebration of his career. As he sings, I think it's obvious that Alan is enjoying himself: "There's so much joy this music can bring/So I count my blessings when I step up to sing/'Cause there's so many people that would give anything/To do what I do."
Alan, however, always has room for the upbeat on his records. This record has a couple of strong toe-tappers. In "Talkin' Song Repair Blues", the guy takes his car to the garage to get it fixed. After the mechanic gives the car owner the estimate of how much the job will cost, they get to talking and realize they're both songwriters. When the mechanic plays his song, the owner of the car gives him his opinion and tells him how to fix the song. They both break out in laughter. The toe-tapping "Burnin' The Honky Tonks Down" is about a woman who gets even with her husband for going out to the bars by following him to the bars and torching them. There's a lot of humor in those songs. However, I think Alan finally put a song that's a "miss" on one of his records. In "If French Fries Were Fat Free", the guy is talking about how life would be if he hadn't lost his love. The song is great--until you get to the chorus: "If French fries were fat free/And you still loved me." These lines kind of spoil the effect of the song. Instead of feeling heartbreak, I think some people would laugh at these words. On a record where any one of the songs could be a hit, Alan stumbles here. However, even though it's not quite up to the level of music we expect from Alan, What I Do is another great album from this award-winning singer. This record has already produced one huge hit and will without a doubt have several other hits off it.
Anyone that doesn't "get" the song When French Fries Are Fat Free obviously hasn't heard many, if any of Alan's CD's. He's almost always added at least one "funny, just to make ya laugh" song on his CD's. So characteristic of Alan, the way he mixes it up on his CD's (and at his concerts!)!
