Guides & Articles
- Off-Road BumpersSkid Plates Provide The Ultimate In Off-Road ProtectionIf you take your 4x4 off-roading, you have likely gained an appreciation of how unforgiving trails can be when it comes to your vehicle's underside. Deep ruts with rough edges can appear out of nowhere, sturdy-looking rocks can shift unexpectedly, and tranquil bodies of water can hide everything from sinkholes to fallen tree trunks. Before you know it, the underside of your truck has bounced off something hard enough to damage moving suspension components or puncture housings containing engine oil, gasoline, transmission fluid, or differential gear oil.
- Performance Suspension PartsHow much lift is needed for larger tires on my 2007-up Jeep Wrangler?Twenty years after the first Jeep Wrangler model debuted in 1987, third-generation Wranglers were introduced for the 2007 model year. Unlike any previous Wranglers or CJs, a 4-door Unlimited model (known internally as the "JKU" body) was offered alongside the standard 2-door ("JK" body). Because it took the off-road capability Wranglers are known for and broadened it with the practicality of 4 doors for those needing a family vehicle, third-generation Wranglers have proven very successful in the marketplace. Maintaining Jeep tradition, this Wrangler appeals by offering a higher-than-average number of advantages for the 4x4 enthusiast, whether it's used for rock crawling or as an everyday driver.
- Performance Suspension PartsCoilovers Are Pricey - Why Would I Spend My Money For Them?When first glancing through the Performance Coilover Kits section of our website, you may be put off by some of the prices you see. After all, what are you buying other than a combo set of springs and shocks under some fancy name? Certainly, you ask yourself, can't you purchase springs and shocks separately and monetarily come out ahead?
- Performance Suspension PartsBody Lifts & Suspension Lifts From 2 to 10 Inches | What are my Lift Kit Choices?Has this happened to you? You catch a glimpse of a truck like yours in a parking lot or around town that, for some reason, you like better than your own. It seems to have a stance that's more rugged-looking and more suited to a 4x4 than yours does. Maybe you get a chance to stop and take a closer look immediately, or maybe it's days or weeks before you see the other truck again.
- Automotive ToolsWhat Special Tools Are Available For Suspension Repair?Seasoned professional automotive technicians often say if you're using too much physical effort during a repair, you're simply not using the right tool. This is true, and a perfect example is repairing and replacing suspension components. If you've ever done this type of work or attempted to do it, you know it can be trickier than merely loosening and tightening bolts.
- Performance Suspension PartsCoil, Leaf, & Torsion Bar | Describing The 3 Different Kinds of SpringsThe springs in your vehicle probably aren't something you think about until there's a problem or you've decided to upgrade suspension parts in the interest of sportier handling. But what specifically do springs do? In short, they play a major role in the safe handling and ride comfort of your vehicle. Not only do they keep a vehicle at a designated standing height, they provide recoil necessary to bounce back after suspension components move up and down over uneven road surfaces. By themselves, springs will continue to bounce up and down for a long time unless a motion damper such as a shock absorber is present to keep things stable. Springs can be soft and extremely bouncy, or they can be stiffer and less bounce-prone.
- Performance Suspension PartsHow Do Shock Absorbers Work?Shock absorbers (also known as "shocks") are the suspension components which slow, then stop, the up-and-down bouncing movement of your vehicle's springs through a process known as dampening. Without shocks to calm things down, springs will continue to extend and release energy they absorb from bumps in the road at an uncontrolled rate - bouncing for a long time until their kinetic energy finally dissipates. Needless to say, this would produce an extremely bouncy ride that would be hard to control over uneven road surfaces.
- Performance Transmission PartsSuspension Enhancements Will Raise The Rear Of Your Tow VehicleIf you are using your "daily driver" car or truck for occasional towing duty, you are looking for that ideal sweet spot where the weekday commute is comfortable and quiet, and the weekend trailering feels solid and secure. In other words, you don't want to vehicle to feel too "stiff" during the week, nor do you want it to ride "soft" when pulling a trailer.
- Wheels & RimsStanced Wheels, Demon Camber | How Do I Get That Look?Stanced. Demon camber. You may know it as oni-camber. You've seen the look, and whether you like it or not is totally beside the point. The great thing about this stanced look is that it gets your attention. From the interviews we've read with owners and drivers of these machines, that is exactly what they are after. They've said that it's all about being noticed.
- Performance Suspension PartsStock vs Performance SuspensionVery often we don't even realize what a crucial role a car's suspension plays in providing a safe and comfortable ride. The system maximizes the friction between the road surface and your vehicle's tires, ensuring steering stability along with responsive handling.
- Performance Suspension PartsShocks Versus Struts: The Big Answers Revealed!Shock absorbers, also known simply as "shocks" (which is what we will call them for the rest of this article), are the suspension components which stop your car or truck from bouncing up and down after hitting a bump. They are a major contributor to your ride comfort and safety.
- Replacement Suspension PartsHow to Inspect Your Suspension SystemThe very first thing to know about timely suspension system diagnosis is that the stability and steering control of your vehicle and, what is more important, your safety on the road depends on how often you make it. Automotive suspension belongs to one of those car systems that are constantly exposed to high loads and thus are prone to wear and tear. Most specialists recommend inspecting suspension system after every 6,500-7,500 miles or when there are any signs of its breakage.
- Performance Suspension PartsHow Low Can You Go?Lowering is high on the list of many people who want to improve the appearance of their car. If you want to lower your car with the coil springs, then replacing them with lowering springs is the way to go. But what if you want to lower your car and also make it handle better? If that's your goal then consider coil-over shocks.

We love blogs about running -- the motivation, the practical tips, the reminder that there's a huge community of people who care about getting their miles in just as much as we do. The voice behind one of our favorite blogs, Matt Frazier of No Meat Athlete, has a new book out this week that promises to be as inspiring and chock-full-of-useful-knowledge as his beloved blog.
As a vegetarian (and, eventually, vegan) long-distance runner, Frazier has amassed a following of loyal readers over the years. But he still faces skepticism from those who think endurance sports and animal-free eating don't mix. To clear up the popular misconception — and get some tips on fitness and healthy food — I spoke with Frazier recently on his way to one of his first book signings.
What do you say to the people who tell you 'I do CrossFit' or 'I'm training for a marathon. I need protein?'
"You absolutely do not need animal protein. If you look at the pros, you'll see that there are plenty of athletes in all types of sports who choose a vegetarian or vegan diet, not just because they can make it work but because it actually helps them maximize their strength and their energy levels and speeds up their recovery. Sure, it's definitely harder and it takes a little more planning, but I think that's one of the huge advantages — you won't get stuck eating junk like pizza or wings or fast food just because you didn't plan ahead."
What's your typical day like, in terms of meals and snacks?
"I start every day with a smoothie; I use it as my opportunity to get in as much raw and really nourishing food as I can: I start with chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts and flaxseeds, then I add frozen fruit and kale or spinach leaves. The rest of my day looks a lot more like how most people eat. For lunch I'll have some sort of pasta with beans. I like to snack on hummus with carrots and broccoli. Then I'll have a salad in the afternoon with avocado and a dinner with some combination of lentils or rice and beans."
What about eating out — and dessert?!
"Thai and Indian restaurants tend to have a lot of vegetarian- or vegan-friendly items, or they're at least very adaptable to me. In terms of dessert, I like dark chocolate a lot–the really extreme 85 to 90 percent stuff. But overall, my palate has changed since I've adopted this diet, and I don't love really sugary stuff as much as I used to. Usually a strawberry and banana smoothie will do it for me if I'm craving something sweet. (Although, every once and a while I will run out and get a pint of vegan ice cream from Whole Foods.)"
You're doing the Ragnar Relay from Maryland to D.C. next weekend. What will you be eating on and in between your runs?
"In the van between runs I'll probably eat a lot of almond butter or hummus spread on sprouted whole-grain bread or English muffins. They're good for refueling because they have a lot of calories and nutrients and are still pretty convenient to pack and eat on the go. I don't eat a lot of gels or gummies when I run (some contain gelatin, which isn't vegan), but I love to snack on whole fresh dates during a workout."
Who should read your new book, No Meat Athlete?
"It's kind of a guidebook to a fitness-focused lifestyle that incorporates a plant-based diet — and that could mean vegetarian, vegan, or just eating less meat in general. It's divided into two sections: The first is tips and 50 recipes for transitioning to this type of diet (co-written with a vegan nutritionist), and the second is about fitness from the perspective of running — including plans for a 5K, 10K and half marathon. It's also about the best way to create healthy habits that will really stick with you and become automatic. So really it's for the athlete who is curious about plant-based diets, AND it's for the plant-based person who is really curious about running or ramping up their fitness routine."
No Meat Athlete: Run on Plants and Discover Your Fittest, Fastest, Happiest Self is on sale now at Amazon.com. Good luck with the book launch, and your relay next weekend, Matt!

MarketBeat: 'Disappointing' BlackBerry Launch Spurs Goldman Downgrade
The following is from WSJ's MarketBeat blog.
By Steven Russolillo
Research In Motion's U.S. launch of its new BlackBerry is already off to a rocky start.
After the debut failed to produce the crowds or buzz of other smartphone launches Goldman Sachs this morning slashed its investment rating on RIM to neutral from buy. The firm cited the "disappointing" launch as a key catalyst behind the downgrade.
"While we thought the international launch was solid, the U.S. launch is critical for BlackBerry's ultimate success," Goldman analyst Simona Jankowski wrote in a research note. "Our retail checks at over 20 store locations since March 22, including at AT&T T, Best Buy, BBY and Radio Shack, revealed a surprising lack of marketing support and poor positioning of the product. We also saw limited advertising around the launch."
A RIM spokesman didn't provide an immediate comment on the Goldman downgrade.
RIM recently fell 6.6% to $13.93, after falling 7.7% on Friday.
Citing a second reason for the downgrade, Goldman said consensus estimates for the BB10 product have come closer in line with its own, and that leaves little upside for the stock to rise.
The success of the BB10 product launch is critical to help increase the firm's sagging market share, which has lagged behind Apple Inc Google and others in recent years.
"Despite the product itself being relatively well received by sales associates and online reviews, sell-through at most locations was less than 10 per day, and in many it was as low as 2-3 per day," Goldman said.
The firm lowered its 12-month price target to $17 a share from $19 a share.

Transitional Return to Work
Goals and Objectives
The program provides a system of returning employees to work quickly and safely after injury or illness by identifying and appropriately managing temporary work restrictions. Studies have shown that the sooner an injured employee can be brought back to work, the faster they will recover and be able to return to their regular work assignments. The goal of Transitional Return to Work (TRTW) is to assist individuals with work- related illness or injury (and non work-related illness or injury, when possible) resulting in medical restrictions or lost work time. There will be an emphasis on close collaboration between department managers and supervisors to locate appropriate light duty. This program is designed to transition the employee back to his/her usual and customary position after the illness/injury. Injuries/illnesses resulting in permanent restrictions with a reasonable expectation that the employee will be unable to return to the usual and customary position will be managed under the Vocational Rehabilitation/ ADA guidelines.
Questions and Answers
Who is eligible for return to work?
What does "light duty" consist of?
How long does light duty last?
What happens if I am asked to work outside of the work restrictions set by my physician?
What happens if I am not able to return to work when my Transitional Return To Work time ends?
What does "permanent and stationary" mean?
Where do I go after I am "permanent and stationary"?
What if my job cannot be modified so that I can continue working?
What if I am not offered a modified or alternative position?
Who is eligible for return to work?
The program covers cases that involve lost time, temporary medical restrictions and when possible, non-work related cases with temporary medical restrictions if temporary medical restrictions render the employee unable to do some or all of the usual assignment, then some modification of the duties or an alternate assignment may be necessary as a temporary accommodation
What does "light duty" consist of?
The Disability Management Coordinator and supervisor will discuss what, if any, of the regular duties, the employee can perform with the medical restrictions they have been given. If there are several tasks that the employee cannot perform, the supervisor can agree to provide assistance for those types of activities. In some cases the employee is unable to perform the regular duties so the Disability Management Coordinator and supervisor will explore other assignments that will allow the employee to stay within the limitations set by his/her treating physician. It is important to note that normally temporary or light duty is not a permanent or regular position. It is work that has been gathered to give the individual with a disability the opportunity to do meaningful work while they are recovering from his/her illness/injury. The goal is to return to the usual and customary position when the illness or injury has healed.
How long does light duty last?
Temporary work assignment are limited. The number of days of Transitional Return To Work duties is decided by the department. Temporary work does not normally extend beyond 90 days. If the employee has not sufficiently recovered to return to the usual and customary position within the department's Transitional Return To Work period then the case will be reviewed by the Disability Management Coordinator and supervisor. Some circumstances, such as an intervening surgery, may result in additional light duty recommended by the physician. Each situation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with the physician's recommendation taken into consideration.
You will get paid your regular hourly pay for the time you participate in light duty. There will be no overtime authorized during light duty. Every effort will be made to provide you with light duty for the hours that you normally work. The home department is responsible for submitting your time card to payroll.
What happens if I am asked to work outside of the work restrictions set by my physician?
It is your responsibility to work safely. If you are asked to do a task that you cannot do within your limitations that were set by your doctor you are to tell the person "no". If you feel that you do not need the restrictions you must obtain a release from your physician. The Transitional Return To Work is set up to provide a safe environment for you to work in. Failure to follow the restrictions set by your physician may result in progressive discipline.
What happens if I am not able to return to work when my Transitional Return To Work time ends?
If you still have limitations that do not allow you to perform the essential functions of your job, you will be sent home. Employees on Worker's Compensation will be notified of the change in benefits. They will be paid temporary total disability (TTD) benefits until they are released to work or found to be Permanent and Stationary.
What does "permanent and stationary" mean?
This is often referred to as being "P&S". This means that you have recovered and your condition is "stationary". Some injuries result in "permanent" work restrictions. The work restrictions are not expected to change in the future.
Where do I go after I am "permanent and stationary"
The Disability Management Coordinator receives notice from your adjuster that you have reached a Permanent and Stationary status. The Disability Management Coordinator has 30 days to determine if there is modified or alternative work. If no modified or alternative work is provided then the employee is referred to a vocational rehabilitation counselor for vocational rehabilitation services.
Modified work is providing a different way for an employee to perform the essential functions of their job. Examples include equipment such as a cart to transport items, software on the computer to reduce keystrokes, flexible work schedules, or reassignment of marginal duties. The employee must be able to perform the essential functions within the productivity standards to be qualified.
What if my job cannot be modified so that I can continue working?
The laws allow for the employer to place the employee with the disability into a position for which he/she is fully qualified. This means that the employee must have the education, training and experience required in the job posting. The employee has rights to special selection outlined in Personnel Policy for Staff Members (PPSM) Policy 81: Reasonable Accommodation. If a position is located and accepted by the employee then the employee transfers to the new department. They will be treated as all transfer employees regarding employment issues.
What if I am not offered a modified or alternative position?
If no position is located then those with industrial injuries will be referred for vocational rehabilitation services. The web section on Worker's Compensation will explain that process.

About the Book
Reminiscent of Frankenstein and tales by the Brothers Grimm, this debut novel stands out as a compelling, original story that has the feel of a classic.
The city of Bryre suffers under the magic of an evil wizard. Because of his curse, girls sicken and disappear without a trace, and all live in fear. No one is allowed outside after dark. Night is when Kymera comes to the city, with a cloak disguising her wings, the bolts in her neck, and her spiky tail. Her mission is to rescue the girls of Bryre. Despite Kym's caution in going secretively, a boy named Ren sees and befriends her . . . but what he knows will change her world forever.
The city of Bryre suffers under the magic of an evil wizard. Because of his curse, girls sicken and disappear without a trace, and Bryre's inhabitants live in fear. No one is allowed outside after dark.
Yet night is the only time that Kymera can enter this dangerous city, for she must not be seen by humans. Her father says they would not understand her wings, the bolts in her neck, or her spiky tail—they would kill her. They would not understand that she was created for a purpose: to rescue the girls of Bryre.
Despite her caution, a boy named Ren sees Kym and begins to leave a perfect red rose for her every evening. As they become friends, Kym learns that Ren knows about the missing girls, the wizard, and the evil magic that haunts Bryre.
And what he knows will change Kym's life.
Reminiscent of Frankenstein and the tales of the Brothers Grimm, this debut novel by MarcyKate Connolly stands out as a compelling, original story that has the feel of a classic.

20% of americans think obama is muslim
i read a bbc story about a poll showing that about 20 percent of americans think president obama is a muslim. among republicans, it's about one third who think so. there's also a correlation with approval. those who think obama is a muslim 'overwhelmingly disapprove' of his job performance, while most who think he's a christian approve of him.
this must have something to do with the fate of knowing. i wonder if people could ever have become so misinformed in the past, when the technology to disinform them was centralized.
meanwhile i am busy with a short film for a technology company, thru victor and an agency here. and i have a job to do for mbc in the same time frame.

A train slams into a tractor trailer in Johnson County and nobody gets hurt.
It happened near the American Standard Plant in Hager Hill.
We spoke with the driver of the tractor trailer to find out what went wrong.
The driver of the tractor trailer says he simply took a wrong turn down a dead end road and was trying to turn back around. He says he never imagined this would happen.
Timothy Lopus, the driver says, "And you're looking at how fast the trains coming at you and you hear the whistle you know and you're looking at the train and thinking there is no way I'm going to be able to get out of here in time so instinctively you say if I want to live I need to jump out of the truck and run."
Witnesses told police when the train hit the tractor trailer, it sounded like an explosion.
The CSX train crashed into the back of the truck, dragging it more than 20 feet.
Lopus says, "It could have been a lot worse, you know I was glad it wasn't worse then it was, nothing on the trailer, that type of thing."
Lieutenant Tom Wyatt, with Johnson County Sheriff's Department says, "If you have the right mixture of chemicals on the truck it could have been a pretty bad incident, if it would have been a truck hauling chlorine or some type of a hazardous material it could have been a very bad incident."
The driver says with roads that narrow, signs should be posted saying no trucks allowed.
Wyatt says, "Backing your truck onto the train tracks is not a good idea. Especially if it's going to take you a little bit to get off the tracks.
Lopus says, "Everything was against me in the case of dead end street, no where to turn around except for here, no arms."
Lopus says he couldn't see the train coming from very far away.
Wyatt says, "This particular case trains have the right of way. If you're on the tracks and you hear a train coming, get off the tracks. That's the best way to avoid being struck by a train."
Police say they're just glad the damage was minor and no one was hurt.
The tractor trailer driver, Timothy Lopus, was issued a citation for failure to yield.

Measurement Of DNA Concentration By Spectrometry
SP, July 2004
Using Ultrospec 2000 spectrophotometer
DNA absorbs light of certain wavelength so that light of 260 nm passing 1 cm through DNA at 50 ug/ml concentration (in water) has an absorbance of 1.0.
The spectometer is set to use light of 260 nm. A negative control or blank cuvette (tube) is filled with water or just the buffer solution (such as TE; usually water) that the DNA is in. As the tube has no DNA, it should give an OD reading of 0. The machine however may show the reading to be something else. The machine is therefore 'zeroed' to set the reference at 0.
The sample to be analysed is diluted, usually 50-500 fold (usually 200-300 fold) in water (or buffer). The solution is puured into a similar-sized cuvette as the one used for blank/negative/reference and its OD measured.
The cuvettes used in Ultrospec 2000 have a 'path length' of 1 cm.
Multiplying OD (260 nm absorbance) with 50 ug/ml will give DNA concentration (inside the cuvette) and a further multiplication with the dilution factor (50-500) will give DNA concentration in the sample.
example: A sample has been diluted 100 fold in water (i.e. 10ul sample in 990ul water). After analyzing the cuvette in the spectrophotometer machine, you get an OD reading of 0.008 on 260nm absorbance setting. Multiplying this OD number by 50 ug/ml gives a concentration inside the cuvette of 0.4 ug/ml. A further multiplication of 100 will give a concentration in the sample of 40 ug/ml, which is equivalent to 40 ng/ul.
Why is a volume measured in ug/ml numerically equivalent to a volume expressed in units of ng/ul? Follow the units conversion using dimensional analysis: X ug/ml * 1ml/1000ul * 1000ng/1ug = X ng/ul (because the 1000's cancel out as well as the units "ml" and "ug").
— Using 1 ml UV (can pass through) disposable cuvettes (in drawer under the spec). Cuvettes with smaller volumes but same path length are also available for use, especially if the sample amount is small. They are reusable and should be rinsed with water before and after use.
Note that cuvettes are asymmetric, meaning they should be placed in the cell inside the spec in a certain way. Usually the 1 cm dimension should be along the L-R axis.
— Turn on the spec, the power button is at the back on the right side. It takes a minute or so to get warmed up.
— Prepare 1ml of 50-500x dilution of sample (usually 3-4 ul plasmid DNA or 5-10 ul purified PCR product in 1ml water) in the disposable UV cuvettes. Make sure the DNA is mixed well and that there are no bubbles inside, or liquid droplets on the outside walls. Also prepare a blank using just 1 ml water.
— Press (WAVE) button and use the (1), (2), etc. digit keys to key in 260 and then press (ENTER)
— Put the blank cuvette in and close the cover.
— Press (SET REF) to zero the reading to 0.
— Remove cuvette and place your sample cuvette. Close cover. The OD reading will change from 0 to a different value. record it. repeat for all samples.
— Calculate DNA concentration as described earlier.
Second method
— Useful when multiple samples; set all sample and blank cuvettes inside (blank cuvette first; in cell no. 1, blue colored)
— (MODE) key, press till 'DNA' on display; (ENTER)
— Display shows 'background? y/n.' Use < or > key and (ENTER)
Sets background correction; useful when using high concentration buffers or low concentration samples.
— (SET REF) key
— (RUN) key. After a few seconds the display will show DNA concentration for the first sample (2nd cuvette, in 2nd cell) in ug/ml. Note that that is the concentration of the diluted sample in the cuvette.
— Press (RUN) key again to move to the next sample.

A hole in the wall, or rather a door in the block. It caught my attention with a sign post of cheap drinks specials, a knee level sandwich board, and a rotating strobe light in red LED. Inside, a narrow space with a row of tables and booths on right and swivelling hightop seats by the bar on the left. The mirror at the back of the restaurant gives the illusion that the place is larger than it really is. No decorations, no conversation starters. Just seats and shelves for bottles and drinks. Be warned everyone here knows the food isn't good, you come for the cheap drinks and the $3.50 highballs.
"White strawberry". Fruli and 1664 blanc. Surprised that I could taste this much strawberry.
Stanley park beer on tap.
"Potato and cheddar perogies". Topped with spicy caramelized onions and green onions, and topped with sour cream. You can also add chorizo into the mix at cost. They were only slightly better than the frozen perogies you are too lazy to make yourself at home. Though it all honesty these are probably not in house made and started frozen as well. The skin was baked to a slight crisp, with an average amount of filling per pocket. I was unable to get to it to take a picture before my guest started eating.
"Cranberry apple pork loin". Rolled pork loin stuffed with their sweet and savory cranberry-apple stuffing. Served with a spicy potato croquet and root vegetables. And topped with a red wine balsamic demi. My guests found the meat unbearably dry. After asking for more gravy, it didn't do enough to moisten "the cardboard that they call a pork loin". (To quote my guest) The vegetables sides were better, but nothing more than under seasoned mush. This too was left unfinished.
Apple pie with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries. Not listed on menu. It was warm enough and tasted fresh, probably purchase from else where. The slices resembled the store bought variety, with the hearty look of something done homemade.
The following are dishes I have tried and disliked on a past visit.
"Spicy house calamari". Tubes, tentacles, and banana peppers, dusted in a rice flour batter. Served with spicy beans and a mint cucumber aioli. Barely crispy, with none of the spice promised in the title. Chewy and flavourless, not worth finishing.
"The Marquis chicken burger". Chicken breast, fresh tomato, shaved romaine, sweet red onion, and mayonnaise. Plain and unmemorable. Nothing I couldn't improve on myself.
Fettuccine Alfredo with prawn and a side of garlic toast. Bland and over cooked. Is it even possible to have too much Alfredo sauce? It felt like it in this dish.
Lobster ravioli. In reality this was three squares of over cooked pasta, topped carelessly with lobster chunks. Disappointing in quantity and quality. I should have known better than to order lobster anything at a pub.
Would I come back? – Yes. Only for cheap drinks, after I have had dinner else where in the neighbourhood.
Would I recommend it? – No. The food is not good, the drinks are only average, and the space is nothing special to write about.

There are not many people in this world that dislike a nice cup of frothy espresso coffee. The refreshing Aroma and the creamy layer on top attract the attention of even non coffee drinkers, enticing them to have a sip. The credit for all the popularity of espresso coffee should actually go to Espresso machines. It is these machines that actually mixes the different ingredients and applies the required pressure to produce that tasty espresso coffee. One can find these espresso machines in gas stations, Laundromats, grocery stores, book stores, movie theaters and other such public gathering places. It's not only the commercial espresso machines that have achieved significant growth, but also the domestic espresso machines that have seen a huge rise in demand. You can read this article about best instant coffee at here: http://www.fourthestatecoffee.com/best-tasting-instant-coffee/.
How Does the Espresso process work?
In order to understand the working principle, one should have a good understanding of the different components that make up the espresso machine.
The major components in an espresso machine include
1. Porta-Filter
2. Heating chamber (Boiler or Electrical Heating Element)
3. Steam Wand
Porta-Filter or the portable filter is the component in to which the users would put in their espresso grounds. The espresso ground coffee is put in a basket and then placed inside the filter body. The filter comes with a spring that holds the basket in its place. A spout is attached to the lower end of the filter. After the entire filter is filled with coffee grounds, it is attached to a group head.
Water enters the boiler from a water storage container. Boiler contains the required steam and hot water to heat the incoming cold water. The cold water actually enters a cylinder in the boiler. This cylinder is surrounded by hot water and steam. The heated water then enters the group head attached to a filter. Usually a pump is used to force the water from the boiler cylinder to the group head. In some machines, electrical heating element is used instead of a boiler for heating the incoming water.
Steam wands come in the form of a lever or a knob and are usually used to froth the milk content in the coffee. This knob or lever can be moved in any direction.

by Feist
What makes the music of "1234" so compelling is that its soft, bouncy acoustic guitar backbone perfectly matches the steady bounce of the counting lyrics. Afterward, Feist keeps the verses short and sweet, until the chorus breaks into a lush refrain, complete with a chorus of voices, a plucky banjo, and hand percussion, retaining the song's playful, organic feel.
The warmness of the vocals and instrumentation was achieved by producer/engineer Renaud Letang's use of vintage studio equipment over digital effects and plug-ins: "I record with old desks and old microphones," he says, "so everything already sounds fat and warm [before mixing]." In addition, the ambiance of the studio contributed to the warm feel. Feist chose to record at Studios La Frette in the suburbs of Paris because of its natural acoustics. The 100-year-old house's high ceilings and wooden floors created a natural room sound that couldn't be achieved by digital effects programs used in many studios today.
Technically speaking, the song's structure is pretty straightforward, but the arrangements and instrumentation are actually pretty complex and layered. "One important aspect of the mix was to take out many things," says Letang. "There were a lot of things playing — for example, a whole brass section — and it had a lot of energy, but it made the track too full. There was too much cream on the cake. It needed to be much lighter. It's a cool song, with a positive and happy feel…I wanted to create space around the acoustic music and give the track a modern shape." The final result is layered but tasteful, and the plethora of voices and instruments never overwhelm the listener.

Energy Price Gap with the US to Hurt Europe for 'At Least 20 years'
From Financial Times
By Pilita Clark
High gas and electricity prices will continue to plague Europe for at least 20 years, damaging the competitiveness of industries that employ almost 30m people, the world's leading energy forecaster has warned.
In findings likely to inflame claims EU climate change policies are damaging the bloc's manufacturers, the International Energy Agency said Europe will lose a third of its global market share of energy-intensive exports over the next two decades because energy prices will stay stubbornly higher than those in the US.

Projected Tetrahedra Revisited: A Barycentric Formulation Applied to Digital Radiograph Reconstruction Using Higher-Order Attenuation Functions
Issue No.04 - July/August (2006 vol.12)
pp: 461-473

DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/TVCG.2006.77

Abstract—This paper presents a novel method for volume rendering of unstructured grids. Previously [CHECK END OF SENTENCE], we introduced an algorithm for perspective-correct interpolation of barycentric coordinates and computing polynomial attenuation integrals for a projected tetrahedron using graphics hardware. Here, we enhance the algorithm by providing a simple and efficient method to compute the projected shape (silhouette) and tessellation of a tetrahedron, in perspective and orthographic projection models. Our tessellation algorithm is published here for the first time. Compared with works of other groups on rendering unstructured grids, the main contributions of this work are: 1) A new algorithm for finding the silhouette of a projected tetrahedron. 2) A method for interpolating barycentric coordinates and thickness on the faces of the tetrahedron. 3) Visualizing higher-order attenuation functions using GPU without preintegration. 4) Capability of applying shape deformations to a rendered tetrahedral mesh without significant performance loss. Our visualization model is independent of depth-sorting of the cells. We present imaging and timing results of our implementation, and an application in time-critical "2D-3D" deformable registration of anatomical models. We discuss the impact of using higher-order functions on quality and performance.

Stars Paint the Town 'Red 2′
A special New York screening of producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura's new sequel "Red 2" brought stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mary-Louise Parker to the Museum of Modern Art Tuesday night.
(The movie also stars Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich and Byung Hun Lee, but all were away from the city busy with new work).
Following the screening, actors and special guests attended a posh after-party hosted by The Cinema Society and Bally on the rooftop of the Refinery Hotel. Attendees included actor Joel McHale, director Taylor Hackford and "Revenge" actress Margarita Levieva.
Many guests were still laughing about "Red 2′s" action-comedy plot, which is driven by explosive scenes and a good chuckle at every move Willis, Parker and Malkovich make as an unlikely team that saves the world.
Speakeasy caught up with Willis before the screening, and the actor credited the energy of his co-stars to a great set environment.
"I have such great chemistry with Mary-Louise Parker; she is so funny and a great comic," Willis said. "And John Malkovich is hysterical."
Parker, who wore a stunning black Dolce & Gabbana dress, said the entire cast got along really well. "I think we're all pretty similar in our vibe," she said. "There were probably more pranks last time [in the original "Red"], but it was in Montreal and London this time and everyone was freezing and too cold to play pranks."
Helen Mirren, who said she based her character "Victoria" on Martha Stewart, said her favorite on-set moment was being in the car with Byung Hun in an epic gun scene. "Being in that little car with Byung Hun day after day was fun because he is unbelievably gorgeous and also happens to be very sweet," she said.
Zeta-Jones, who looked incredible in a studded Michael Kors black dress, explained the tone of the overall set was always comfortable. "I've worked with Bruce before, and of course Tony Hopkins – I've known him since I was a kid," she said. "Everyone knew their lines so that gave us more time on the set to goof around and have fun."
When asked who was the "most goofy," Zeta-Jones named Malkovich. "He'd always come up with a one-liner just before I had to do a shot and it cracked me up," she said. "And he's naughty – he does it on purpose."
Bonaventura, who also produced the "Transformers" films, gave us a brief token of advice on success. "Some people like to make movies that win awards," he said. "I like to make movies that people like and you only get to do a sequel if people really like things."
With such a star-studded cast, Bonaventura said one of the hardest parts of filming was making sure no one outshined someone else in a scene. "It's like a jigsaw puzzle," he said. "How do you get everything out of each of them and how do you make sure one doesn't overshadow the other? That was one of the fun things, just watching these guys try and top each other."
"And at the end of the day," Bonaventura joked, "It's always fun to put every possible kind of gun in Helen Mirren's hand."

Democrats should get blame for mess
Published: Sunday, October 12, 2008 at 8:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 12, 2008 at 8:42 a.m.
To The Editor: As a subscriber and reader of your newspaper, this is my
effort to correct misinformation about who created all of our countrys
current financial crises.
The cause for the bailout!
The debate about bailing out our financial system to make us financially
solvent so that there will be money to be loaned by banks, buyers of homes,
businesses, etc. is complex.
Previous administrations created a monster. Carters Community
Reinvestment Act forced banks to make risky loans. The intentions were
good, but the lending was to be consistent with safe and sound lending
practices. This was ignored during the implementation.
Then the Clinton Administration re-wrote Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac rules
turning them into a semi-nationalized monopoly that dispensed cash to
markets, loaned to Democratic voting blocks, handed out favors and allowed
loans that required no capital to back their investments versus 10 percent
for banks.
The blame is not the Bush Administration but largely the Democratic
Senators and Representatives who voted for it and who could have corrected
the problems that had to happen.
Many are still in Congress. We the taxpayers should Vote them out!

Four-Footed Heroes Honored For Loyalty, Bravery and Heart
At the National Arts Club in New York City September 8, 2011
NEW YORK, September 8, 2011 -- With its National Spokesdog RIN TIN TIN looking on approvingly, American Humane Association paid tribute to the hero dogs of 9/11, and to all dogs who serve, protect and comfort us every day. The gala tribute underscored the importance of the bond between people and animals that has benefited both for generations.
The evening featured special presentations from Whoopi Goldberg; Animal Planet's Victoria Stilwell; William J. Abbott, President and CEO of Hallmark Channel, which will air a 90-minute broadcast on Veterans Day of American Humane Association's Hero Dog Awards™, presented by Cesar® Canine Cuisine in Los Angeles on October 1st; and two first-responders at Ground Zero on 9/11: Lt. David Lim whose bomb-detection dog, Sirius, died that day in the attack, and Rachel McPherson, CEO of the Good Dog Foundation, whose dog, Fidel, served as an Animal-Assisted Therapy dog to bereaved families. Kenn Bell, Founder of Dog Files, presented his short documentary of "9/11 Hero Dogs." Photographs by photo-essayist Charlotte Dumas, whose portfolio of heroic dogs recently appeared in The New York Times, graced the pre-dinner gathering. Interviews with first-responders were incorporated into a special video presentation by MRB Productions. The Honorable James P. Moran, Chair of the Federal Congress Animal Protection Caucus, congratulated American Humane Association for being a good friend to animals and asked for support of proposed legislation to discourage dogfighting. New York Police Department's Daniel Rodriguez, "America's beloved tenor," whose performance of God Bless America buoyed the country's spirits when most needed after 9/11, closed the evening with that song.
American Humane Association was a first-responder for animal welfare in the days following the 9/11 tragedy. Our Red Star™ Animal Emergency Services teams rushed our 82-foot mobile veterinary clinic and command center to NYC. Some Red Star™ teams delivered rescue harnesses for police K-9s working at Ground Zero and provided technical assistance for their use. Other Red Star™ staff delivered supplies for displaced pets and K-9 working dogs at the Brooklyn staging location. The rescue rig was subsequently stationed at the Staten Island Landfill where World Trade Center debris was taken. K-9 recovery teams there sniffed tons of sifted rubble to provide closure for grieving families.
The Red Star™ Rig was used as the K-9 operational compound where it was integrated with other agencies working at that site: NYPD, FBI, National Guard, Coast Guard, EPA, and the Veterinary Medical Assistance Team (VMAT), and provided the on-site clinic for examination and decontamination of the K-9 recovery teams.
"American Humane Association has been working for 134 years to protect children and animals—the most vulnerable among us -- from harm, abuse and neglect," said Robin R. Ganzert, President and CEO of the organization. "On 9/11 we were all vulnerable. Heroic dogs gave us their special skills and used their special senses in service to values that define American Humane Association and bind us as Americans: a reverence for all life and compassion that can create a kinder world. We salute all first-responders, human and four-footed ones. Working together they brought attention to the timeless, vital bond between people and animals."
American Humane Association staff worked every shift that the dogs did and decontaminated them from toxic materials they encountered. While human first-responders wore masks, the dogs burrowing into debris and walking on smoking rubble did not.
"Animals have long been by our side during times of conflict and war," said Robin R. Ganzert. "Indeed, American Humane Association's Red Star™ program was born on the European World War I battlefield as 'the Red Cross for animals' at the request of the Secretary of War. Over a half million American horses shipped to Europe carried supplies to our troops, and our troops into battle. The horses were grievously wounded in battle and needed Red Star™ to heal. At the same time, the original RIN TIN TIN puppy was born on a World War I French battlefield and gave rise to the first search and rescue dogs in America. It's fitting, then, that RIN TIN TIN serves as American Humane Association's National Spokesdog."
Today, Red Star™ Animal Emergency Services teams rush to the aid of animals in natural disasters. Proceeds from the tribute to heroic dogs this evening will benefit that program, along with such other AHA programs as:
American Humane Association thanks its corporate sponsors for their generosity in helping make the tribute this evening possible: Hallmark Channel, Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi UFJ, Pfizer Animal Health, Response Marketing Group, Hartz Mountain Corporation, TMA Direct, and Animal Planet.

Teresa Giudice Auction: Live Like a 'Real Housewife'
Bidders will soon get the chance to live just like a Real Housewife.
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" personality Teresa Giudice, who along with husband Joe filed for bankruptcy, will auction off remnants of their lavish lifestyle, the Daily News reports. Contents of the couple's sprawling 16 room, 10,000-square-foot Towaco mansion are scheduled to hit the block at noon on Aug 22. (Gawking, er, inspections start at 9 a.m.)
Items up for grabs include a grand piano, suit of armor, snow plow and foosball table, according to auctioneer A.J. Willner Auctions.
The couple reportedly owe creditors $10.85 million. Like many Americans, they blame their woes on real estate. "Due to the economy, most of my husband's real estate ventures failed despite his hard work and effort," Ms. Giudice told US Magazine. Bankruptcy courts, she added, offer a fresh start.
She is not the only financially troubled housewife. We've previously written about Orange County's Tamra Barney, who was forced to unload Tuscan-style house in a short sale earlier this year. Fellow OC wife Jeana Keough used a loan mod to avoid foreclosure on her seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom home.
We'll now let these women call themselves reality stars.

No I won't because your first post more than suggested you were in favour of the idea. Had you stated that you also thought it was daft then we have no problem. Secondly we've all seen plenty of evidence on these boards that you can dream up a whole 100,000 seater stadium.

Surgery and Healing
I ask for prayer for my grandma, Ann Cunningham. She is having left hip replacement surgery tomorrow. I ask that you pray that God be in the room with the surgeons and that she recovers completely. The recovery process takes a few months. I also ask that you pray for her mind, heart, and spirit. My grandma is also dealing with having to raise my 6-year-old cousin. She is also having a hard time with her daughter. She needs peace in the household while she is recovering and beyond the recovery process. Pray that God brings change to their lives and that they will be saved. Expecting God to bring salvation, peace and healing for my grandmother.

Seminole's Xavier Freeman scored a game-high 14 points as the Chieftains' stifling defense held Byng to just eight first-half points en route to a 42-29 win in a Class 3A district tournament final Saturday night.
"That was our best defensive effort all season," Seminole head coach Harlon House said. "It was good to get a win at Byng."
House praised the individual efforts of Jace Cravens and Papi White on the defensive end of the floor.
"[Cravens and White] did a really good job of pressuring Byng's guards on the perimeter, forcing turnovers and making them uncomfortable," House said.
Cravens and White also performed well on the offensive side of the ball, going for 12 and 8 points, respectively.
Reed Wall led Byng with nine points.
Seminole built a 17-8 halftime lead and stretched it to double figures in the second half.
Now 13-10, Seminole will head to Henryetta Thursday for a regional tournament matchup with Locust Grove. That game will tip at 8 p.m.

Final 8 are set
UNDATED (AP) -- Following yesterday's victories by the Baltimore Ravens and Seattle Seahawks, the final eight in the NFL playoffs are set. Here are the matchups for next weekend.
The Ravens, who delayed the retirement of their 17-year veteran linebacker Ray Lewis with a 24-9 victory over Indianapolis yesterday, now travel to Denver to play the Broncos at Mile High next Saturday. Peyton Manning & Co. are riding an 11-game winning streak.
That game will be followed by an NFC divisional game next Saturday night. The Green Bay Packers, who outclassed Minnesota 24-10 last Saturday at Lambeau Field, now must travel to Candlestick Park to play the San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco beat Green Bay 30-22 back in Week 1 of the regular season.
Next Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks travel to Atlanta to play the top-seeded Falcons in the NFC. The Seahawks rallied from an early 14-0 deficit to beat the Redskins 24-14 yesterday while the Falcons enjoyed the bye week. Until yesterday, Seattle had not won a road playoff game since 1983.
The divisional playoffs conclude next Sunday with Houston traveling to Foxborough to play the New England Patriots, second-seed in the AFC. The Texans reversed a late season slide by eliminating Cincinnati 19-13 on Saturday while the Pats enjoyed a first-round bye.
Tonight's the night for `Bama-Notre Dame
MIAMI (AP) -- Which team do you like, Notre Dame or Alabama?
The battle lines are drawn for tonight's BCS Championship at Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Notre Dame, the top-ranked team with a 12-0 mark, has the distinction of being a fairly heavy underdog against 12-1 Alabama. Oddsmakers are rating the Crimson Tide about a 9-point favorite, largely based on Alabama's team speed and swarming defense.
Alabama is going for its third national championship in four years and trying to become the first school to win back-to-back BCS titles. Notre Dame is seeking its first national championship since 1988.
Notre Dame's strength is its stifling defense, which has allowed only two rushing touchdowns all season. The Crimson Tide has a pair of 1,000 yards rushers in Eddie Lacy and freshman T.J. Yeldon, who combined for 334 yards in a 32-28 victory over Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Notre Dame has surrendered only 92.4 yards per game on the ground, and just two players rushed for more than 100 yards against the Irish. LB Manti Te'o (MAN'-ty TAY'-ow) leads the team in tackles (103) and interceptions (seven).
This game matches two of the most storied programs in college grid history. The teams first met in the 1973 Sugar Bowl, a classic matchup in which Notre Dame claimed its second national title under coach Ara Parseghian with a 24-23 victory over Bear Bryant and the Crimson Tide. Their last meeting was in 1987, when Notre Dame romped to a 37-6 victory in South Bend.
Bearcats hope to bounce back after tough loss
UNDATED (AP) -- It's a light two-game schedule for teams ranked in the AP Top-25.
Fifth-ranked Indiana takes its 13-1 mark into State College to play Penn State.
But the most interesting game of the night has 14th-ranked Cincinnati hosting 21st-ranked Notre Dame in Big East action. The 13-2 Bearcats are coming off a 53-52 loss Saturday to St. John's. The Irish are riding high, sporting a 13-1 mark for coach Mike Brey after their 93-74 rout of Seton Hall on Saturday.
Thunder get a softie on the back end
UNDATED (AP) -- It's not the toughest of all possible back-to-back games the NBA schedule maker has ever devised. The Thunder, who are sporting a 26-7 record atop the Northwest Division, beat Toronto 104-92 yesterday behind 23 points from Russell Westbrook and 22 from running mate Kevin Durant.
After the game, Durant called it "one of those trap games." He said he knew the Thunder had to be focused on first disposing of the Raptors before traveling to Washington to take on the woeful Wizards tonight.
The Wizards are sporting a 4-28 record following their loss last night in Miami.
Tonight's other six-pack of games include Boston traveling to Madison Square Garden to play the Atlantic Division-leading Knicks, who are 23-10. Cleveland travels to United Center to take on the 18-13 Bulls, who enter the night a half-game back of Central Division-leading Indiana.
San Antonio, which opens the day with a four-game lead over Memphis atop the Southwest Division, is on the road at New Orleans. Dallas is at Utah, Orlando travels to Portland and Memphis is at Sacramento.
Is today the day?
KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) -- They will try to start the PGA Tour season for the fourth consecutive day. So far they haven't had much success.
The season-opening Tournament of Champions at the Plantation Course at Kapalua has endured high winds over the weekend, preventing the first round from being completed.
The winners-only tournament was supposed to begin Friday. But rough weather has won out so far. They're hoping to try again with 36 holes today and the 54-hole tourney concluding on Tuesday. The Sony Open in Honolulu starts Thursday.

AbstractThe present paper deals with the period of India's greatest cultural fluorescence, The Golden Age. A lively intellectual debate has been going on among historians and archaeologists on the subject of the chronology of the caves at Ajanta. The study shows addition of many iconographic styles from Ajanta to Bagh caves and vice-versa due to movement of skilled workers and craftsmen between these two Buddhist sites. Many iconographic figures were added / deleted depending on the local condition of rock at both the sites. The art and architecture of these sites reflects India's great materials culture. The Ajanta paintings are not just a milestone in the history of development of world art but they also convey unique insights about the life of ancient Indians and their culture. This paper outlines some of the architectural features introduced from Ajanta into the other cultures. Furthermore, structural conservation measures and scientific methodology adopted for the preservation of Ajanta murals have also been highlighted.

It's possible the Meridian High School Band may have an edge at state festival competition this year.
The band will perform three selections. The composer of one of them Monday offered his guidance to students.
Quincy Hilliard is the composer-in-residence at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He said it's gratifying to hear different interpretations of his work.
"Sometimes it's not always working with my music, but it's just working with bands and helping them become better technically, helping them become better musically," said Hilliard. "So I'm all over the country doing this."
Hilliard said he loves working with young people. He is a native of Starkville.
