Adjusting the highback on burton p1.1
I presume that I'll end up sounding like a total retard, but I probably am just that.
I disassembled a pair of p1.1 so i could transport the snowboard. When lowered, the highback sticks out a lot on the side of the board. Now when i try to set them back they are always a bit crooked. My forums had three pair of holes and it was just a matter of choosing the right pair.
see those screws on the sides below the ankle straps?
Yeah, and my question is how to find the right position on each side so the highback will fit normally. It always eem crooked and sort touching only a small portion of the plate,
unscrew, adjust, screw
Thanks for trying to help me, but as i said im a total retard, i don't quite understand your tip.
how did you take them apart in the first place?
I dont know i just unscrewed them.
You do understand what im talking about? Maybe im concerned over nothing. The forum factions i have have matching holes. The highback snaps perfectly in place. The burton highback touches the protruding part of the base on just one side, and i just cant figure out what im supposed to do, or if its supposed to be like that.
You adjust them however feels comfortable to you. A lot of people will adjust them so that they are parallel to the backside edge. Some adjust them so they are inline with the binding. Do whatever feels comfortable to you.
What do you reccomend? Iv seem a lot of how to's and people say to adjust them parallel. when the yguy set everything up at the shop i bought it from he left them straight with the binding. Should i change it? Im using rome 390 boss btw.
I like them parallel with the board, but it's all personal preference. Try it both ways (or anywhere in betweent), and see what you like the best.

Maybe, just maybe, both sides in the ongoing NFL labor dispute are starting to realize a deal of some kind has to be hammered out - and soon.
The lockout has officially reached crunch time. With most training camps set to open in a month, talks between owners and players seemed to grow in frequency and intensity in recent days.
Why? It's all about money.
If the lockout extends much longer, both sides will begin to lose real money.
To this point, there has been little reason for hand-wringing on either side. Players have worked out on their own or perhaps in tandem with teammates, which they might find preferable to what used to be called minicamps, but for some reason came to be known as OTAs, or "organized team activities."
The owners had no reason for concern until the labor dispute actually threatened the season.
We're not quite there yet, but we're getting closer, which is why discussions are escalating. Both sides are starting to realize that postponing the start of training camp and then the season would be a disaster.
But a huge roadblock remains to a new labor agreement - the issue of dividing revenues. The owners want the players to agree to a share of just 48 percent of all revenues. That figure already has dropped from 52.7 percent in 2006 to 50.5 percent last season, according to ESPN.
A drop of mere percentage points might not seem like much, but when the NFL's revenue pie is as high as $9.3 billion - which it was in 2010 - a couple of percentage points could mean the players would be leaving a lot of money on the table if they agreed to the owners' latest proposal.
I know professional sports is big business. College sports have become big business, too. Just ask Ohio State. There are those who will tell you high school sports is headed there, too.
I hadn't spent a lot of time looking into these abstract numbers because, frankly, I don't care. Like most pro football fans, I just want to turn on my television in early September and watch games.
That's one reason the lockout has barely registered on my personal radar to this point: it's in its fourth month, but all we've really missed are meaningless stories about OTAs.
Those hurt the most are players who were drafted in April or who weren't drafted and hoped to sign free-agent contracts. Former Warren G. Harding cornerback Chris Rucker, drafted by the Indianapolis Colts out of Michigan State, is waiting to begin his NFL career. Former West Virginia safety Sidney Glover, Rucker's former high school teammate, went undrafted and hopes to be in an NFL training camp next month.
That will only happen if the owners and players can reach agreement on some issues, the biggest one being how to carve up the cash cow provided to both sides by a football-loving public. There is too much money to be had on both sides for an agreement not to happen, right?
Critical mass isn't far off. If training camps don't start on time, the season will be in jeopardy.
Maybe that stark reality has finally hit both sides. Remember, in the NFL stark realities are measured not in yardage and points, but in dollars.

Breaking Bad? The Uneasy Case for Regulatory Breakeven Analysis
Daniel A. Farber
University of California, Berkeley - School of Law
April 28, 2014
Assessing regulatory benefits is crucial to cost-benefit analysis. And yet, quantification can be problematic, either because of the nature of the benefit themselves or because of uncertainty about achieving them. In such situations, Cass Sunstein calls for the use of a breakeven analysis based on a judgment about whether regulatory benefits are at least as high as costs.
Even assuming that cost-benefit analysis is the best way of making decisions when benefits can be readily quantified, breakeven analysis may or may not be the right approach when quantification is difficult. Instead, depending on the causes of the difficulty, we might want either to revert to more qualitative methods of decision-making or to move beyond breakeven analysis into more rigorous methodologies. Thus, the case for breakeven analysis remains unproven.

Beverly Dyer, center director, said the program will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 121 North First Street. Admission is $50 per person, and $400 per table. Limited seating is available.
The event, now in its second year, is a scholarship fundraiser for students of the center. The majority of students at the UA-Gadsden Center are graduate students pursuing education degrees - teachers and administrators.
"A good many are superintendents and principals from this area, and teachers who are getting their advanced degrees," Dyer said. "They are working full-time jobs and dealing with family and childcare issues. And there's not a lot of assistance out there other than loans. A scholarship can mean the difference between someone returning to school or not."
The street party features food, drinks and live music by the Rabbit Branch Band, a popular group which performed in Tuscaloosa in the 60s and 70s, Dyer said.
Tena King, the center's program manager, said attire is casual. "We want everyone to have a good time outside," she said.
The event is scheduled for the Thursday before the A-Day game, as Friday on the Tuscaloosa campus has several athletic events.
Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP by April 12 to Dyer at (256) 546-2886.

Two hours later, his premonition was proved to be true as Saugus boys volleyball earned a 16-25, 25-15 15-25, 25-19, 18-16 win over West Ranch after a pair of controversial decisions went the Centurions' (9-5, 3-1) way.
The first questionable call came in the third game when West Ranch head coach Nate Sparks argued a call from his seat, pointing out that even Saugus head coach Jared Ambrose had thought a Saugus shot called in was out. Sparks' comments earned him a yellow card, which meant he couldn't leave the bench for the rest of the game.
"Getting a card definitely changed how I coached," Sparks said. "Not being able to get up and talk to the guys except for during time outs meant I was not able to let them know where to be and what to do as easily. I don't know if it was really a factor, but I know if I had left my seat then I would have gotten a red card and cost our team a point so I wasn't going to let that happen."
There was also a discrepancy in the score during the decisive frame due to the fact the teams' official scorers had different tallies midway through the fifth set, and the referees ruled to take away a point from the Wildcats (6-6, 2-2).
"There's nothing we can do about how the game is scored," Sparks said. "I'm not quite sure how we could have two different scores, but they went out and won the game, and we did not finish."
For both teams, playing a fifth set was nothing new. The match was the third time in four league games that it happened for West Ranch and Saugus.
"We are getting more and more comfortable in close games," said senior Kyle Eaton, who had 17 kills and five blocks. "Still, we knew that there was pressure on us to win because this was for second place."
The teams battled to a 14-all tie in the fifth before a Frankie Madero spike gave West Ranch a chance to win the match, but Saugus answered to push the game into sudden death.
"This is a group of guys who never quit, no matter what situation they are in," Ambrose said. "I would like to think that it comes from how we practice. I'm always going 100 miles per hour, and I think that shows in how we play."
Saugus eventually took a 17-16 lead and capitalized on the third match point of the game when a Jeff Zepp shot sailed long.
Zepp still led West Ranch with 13 kills and tallied 13 assists, while Madero chipped in with 25 assists.
Ryan Mason came up with 39 assists to pace Saugus, and Colby Wilson chipped in seven kills for the Cents.
"As a freshman, Wilson has been awesome," Ambrose said. "He's been a big part of this team coming together, and we think we have a real shot at the two spot thanks to players like him stepping up."
For West Ranch, Sparks hopes the game will serve as a wake up call.
"We need to understand that we have to play the whole game," Sparks said. "We won two sets easily, and we still lost. It's a frustrating way to lose."

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Justice Department is investigating the Internal Revenue Service for targeting tea party groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax exempt status, Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday, widening a probe that includes investigations by three committees in Congress.
Ineffective management at the IRS allowed agents to improperly target tea party groups for more than 18 months, concluded one investigation, by the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. The inspector general's report, released on Tuesday, lays much of the blame on IRS supervisors in Washington, D.C., who oversaw a group of specialists in Cincinnati who screened applications for tax exempt status.
"The report's findings are intolerable and inexcusable," President Barack Obama said in a statement. "The federal government must conduct itself in a way that's worthy of the public's trust, and that's especially true for the IRS. The IRS must apply the law in a fair and impartial way, and its employees must act with utmost integrity.
Holder said he ordered the FBI to investigate Friday – the day the IRS publicly acknowledged that it had singled out conservative groups.
"Those (actions) were, I think, as everyone can agree, if not criminal, they were certainly outrageous and unacceptable," Holder said. "But we are examining the facts to see if there were criminal violations."
Three congressional committees already are investigating the IRS for singling out tea party and other conservative groups during the 2010 congressional elections and the 2012 presidential election. But Holder's announcement takes the matter to another level, if investigators are able to prove that laws were broken.
Holder said he wasn't sure which laws may have been broken.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought against Kent County by the jailed stepfather of a teenage hot dog vendor whose battle with Holland City Hall made national headlines this summer.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Jonker dismissed the suit against the county from Douglas Taras Johnson, who claimed he was given unusable multiple sclerosis medication by jail staff last month.
Johnson is sitting in jail on false pretense charges stemming from an incident where he allegedly posed as an attorney and took a $1,500 retainer this spring from a Cedar Springs man facing federal charges.
In a five-page filing, Johnson alleged that "deliberate indifference" of jail staff caused him muscle spasms, extreme pain in his legs, numbness in his hands and arms, and other problems because his medication, Avonex, was not properly refrigerated.
Kent County Sheriff's Department officials denied that Johnson was being treated improperly.
Johnson asked that Jonker order the jail to provide medications he took before his arrest, and award damages for pain and suffering.
Jonker dismissed the lawsuit based on Johnson's failure to state a claim, or failure to present sufficient facts to support his case.
Assistant Kent County Prosecutor Kellee Koncki has called Johnson an "accomplished con artist." If convicted as a habitual offender, he faces up to life in prison.

I admit it. My favourite band are The Smiths. Its nothing to be ashamed of. I also like Jazz, funk, soul, indie – oh just about every genre of music there is. I always reckon there's good and bad of everything, you just need to look hard enough. I didn't have to look beyond Sheffield's We Dig For Fire to find the good in intelligent sort of post-hardcore rock. Although there is a slight similarity in sound with Biffy Clyro, its unfair to link them together because these boys produce intelligent, catchy, adreneline-fulled songs of their own.
I'm hoping that 2013 will prove to be a bog year for the boys, so I spoke to them to find out how everything works in We dig for fire-land.
For those people who don't know you or your music, can you introduce yourselves?
Brett: I'm Brett and I play guitar
Andy: I'm Andy and I play guitar also, and sing!
Joe: I'm Joe. I play bass and do backing vocals.
Marcus: I'm Marcus and I play drums, do backing vocals and also play the occasional violin!
How did you all meet up?
Andy: Brett and I met on the equivalent of a musician dating website! We basically started writing a bunch of tunes in his flat, did some acoustic gigs then things moved on from there.
Marcus: I met Brett at a party and we'd known each other for while when he asked me to join the band. We went out for a beer at Alibi, then booked a rehearsal room for a week later, they played me some of the tunes and I was sold!
Joe: I joined the band in October 2012. Again, it was through a musicians dating site!
What bands inspired you to make music, or continue to inspire you today?
Brett: Firstly Oasis in terms of their catchy songs, but then more Hendrix in terms of the different scope of sounds the could be made from the instrument. More recently I've been into a lot of bands who are quite renowned for their storytelling and energy, bands such as mewithoutYou, Brand New and Thrice,
Andy: I love everything from singer-songwriters right up to really heavy stuff, but I'd say for this band, for me the idea was to cross mainstream stuff like the Foo Fighters with more experimental stuff like Thrice.
Joe: So many! I listen to a lot of post rock and prog. Bands like Amplifier, 65daysofstatic, Porcupine Tree all explore extended song structures, which is always interesting! In terms of inspiration for the music we make as a band, Saosin, Anberlin and Biffy Clyro all make want to keep writing and playing!
Marcus: In terms of my drumming, the Mars Volta are a big inspiration but I listen to all sorts too! The Foo Fighters, The Refused, Thrice and Muse are all bands I love.
Love the name, where did it come from?
Brett: Well I stole it. Well, more accurately I 'sought inspiration' from a company in Sheffield called Dig for Fire that I used to see when I was driving around Sheffield as part of my last job. I thought the name was quite intriguing however, to avoid any blatant thievery I suggested we personify it by adding the 'We'. I don't feel too bad as since we've been using it the phrase 'Dig for Fire' has been linked to a song by The Pixies so I feel that company may have had the same idea as us in terms of 'borrowing' it.
Andy: It's also tied in to an early song on our first EP called "…On this Town" – in the end it was either the song or the band name that had the "Dig for Fire" reference and we decided upon the band name!
How would you describe your music to someone who hadn't heard you?
Andy: If we were a drink I'd say we'd be a subtle blend of The Foo Fighters and Biffy Clyro with a twist of Thrice and a dash of The Deftones!
Would you say your post-rock, post-hardcore? In fact, If you were to make up a genre to describe your music, what would it be? (I really want someone to say they are post-post-punk)
Andy: Post-Rockcore!
Brett: The genre would be called "Dave". Everyone's got a friend called Dave and there's always room for one more
Who have you played with since you've been together?
Andy: We recently did a show with Freeze the Atlantic. Those guys formed out of Hundred Reasons, Reuben and Laruso; That was really cool – they're awesome. We also did an acoustic show with Mike Tramp (Lead singer from 80s band White Lion), that was not quite a spectacular – though his pedal board did have a setting called "Mr. Tramp".
Your going on tour shortly – fill us in about that? (dates/venues etc)
Andy: We start on 8th Feb. at the O2 in Sheffield and then carry on until the 23rd; There are a few days off in the middle but it's pretty full on!
Any good support bands on the tour we should check out?
Brett: They're not on the tour but Exit Strategy One – they're like The Black Keys on steroids!
Andy: We're doing a show on the 17th Feb. in Nottingham with our friends Safe in the Crossfire, they're well worth checking out.
You Start in Sheffield – Excited about that one in particular, or are there other places you've been looking forward to playing in?
Andy: Yeah, we're doing the O2 – we've played their before and it's a great place to play, I've seen some great bands there too, so can't wait to get back on that stage!
Brett: London, It's the capital and would be a show to tell the grandkids
Joe: It will be my first time playing at the O2, so I'm definitely looking forward to that one. It's a great way to start the tour, and it's a home town show too, which is always nice. Another highlight is The Roadhouse in Manchester. It's such a great venue and so many awesome bands have played there.
Marcus: I'm just excited about going on tour – it'll be great to play some new places and hopefully win over some new fans.
We Dig for Fire – Across the sky EP
We can get hold of your EP 'Across the sky' at various places including iTunes.can you describe the songs you chose to put on that?
Change – A song you'd take to meet your parents
Calling – A song your nan might bop too
Hanging by a thread – A song to keep away from your daughter
Andy:It's actually our second EP, but the first one was done quite a while back now. I think we tried to pick 3 songs that show the different extremes of what we do.
Whats the writing process like in the band?
Brett: It very much started off with myself and Andy grabbing our acoustic guitars and writing the old-fashioned way. Now most of our tunes grow from jams or ideas that either one of us bring to the rehearsal room.
Andy: yeah, it varies…it usually starts with either myself or Brett bringing an idea, then Marcus is really good at coming up with ideas for interesting arrangements or different rhythms and dynamics etc. The vocals usually come later I'd say.
Whats next for the band? Back in the studio?
Andy: Yeah I reckon so, we've got a bunch of new songs to record, who knows we might even do a mini album or something! We're hoping to play a bunch of festivals in the summer too.
We Dig For Fire – Change Video
What do you make of the local scene?
Andy: I think it's great if you're a singer-songwriter or an indie band, but the pickings are slim for our genre.
Sheffield? What do you make of it? Where do you boys hang out?
Brett: F****** windy!
Joe: The Wick at Both Ends/The Old House are my bars of choice. Good food, good booze, good music..What more can you ask for?!
Marcus: Yeah I love the Old House. Bungalows and Bears and The Forum are good too tough.

South African Credit Expands at Fastest Pace in 3 Years
South African credit growth accelerated at the fastest pace in more than three years in March as the central bank left borrowing costs unchanged at a 30-year low, boosting lending in Africa's biggest economy.
Borrowing by households and businesses rose 9.2 percent, up from 7.9 percent in February, the Pretoria-based Reserve Bank said on its website today. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 11 economists was for credit to expand 8.6 percent.
The Reserve Bank has kept the repurchase rate at 5.5 percent since November 2010 to support economic growth threatened by a debt crisis in Europe, a key trading partner. While spending is recovering, consumers are facing rising costs from gasoline prices, giving the central bank room to keep its key rate unchanged.
"Things are recovering, but they aren't going fast enough," Colen Garrow, chief economist for Brait SA Ltd., said in a telephone interview from Johannesburg. The data "argues very much for leaving rates on hold."
The rand was at 7.7496 per dollar at 11:44 a.m. in Johannesburg, little changed from 7.74 before the data was released. The yield on the bond due in 2015 dropped one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 6.48 percent.
Inflation slowed to 6 percent in March, the top end of the Reserve Bank's 3 percent to 6 percent target range and the slowest pace since September, the statistics agency said on April 18. The inflation rate will peak at 6.5 percent this quarter and fall into the target band by the end of the year, Governor Gill Marcus said on March 29.
Expenditure in the economy expanded 5.1 percent in the fourth quarter, the fastest pace in more than a year, according to the central bank. Consumers account for two-thirds of spending in South Africa.
The broad M3 measure of money supply rose 6.7 percent in March from a year earlier, compared with 5.9 percent in February, the central bank said. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey was 6.4 percent.

DALLAS (AP) - The teen-age organizers showed outstanding organizational skills, renting a warehouse, chartering buses and persuading nearly 300 of their peers to buy tickets at up to $55 apiece.
But to the school district gave the whole thing an F, because what the kids put together was an elaborate beer bash.
Police, acting on a tip, descended on the party about midnight Saturday and ticketed more than 150 teen-agers from the Park Cities, two wealthy enclaves north of downtown Dallas.
On Tuesday, about 200 students were suspended from extracurricular school activities, including sports.
"As a society we often look the other way rather than face tough issues head-on," said Highland Park school Superintendent John Connolly in announcing the disciplinary action. "This school district will not look the other way."
The entrepreneurial organizers rented the warehouse for $1,000 and chartered city buses to transport party-goers, authorities said. Nearly 300 tickets were sold at $35 to $55 each, and police said about 250 people ranging in age from 14 to 19 showed up.
Anne Tasian, an 18-year-old Highland Park senior identified as a main organizer, was charged with supplying alcohol to minors. A 34-year-old man hired as a bouncer for the party also was arrested.

Mac Screensavers: Hills, Hyperscape, Microcosm, Anèmona, Solar Winds, Flocks Updated
No money for a new Mac or even more RAM? Spruce up your old Mac with this fresh n' tasty batch of free Mac screensavers — updated eye candy from a who's who of Mac screensaver developers.
First up is an OS X port of Terence M. Welsh's OpenGL screensaver for Windows. Solar Winds is a cool Mac screensaver that is excellent in every way — Retina ready, GateKeeper compatible — but one.
Solar Winds isn't OS X 10.9 compatible, which is perhaps unsurprising given that it's an OpenGL screensaver and Apple has transitioned from OpenGL 3.2 to OpenGL 4.1 in Mavericks.
Mac screensaver maestro Seiryu has updated Hills, Hyperspace and Microcosm for OS X 10.6 or later. And, good news, all three are OS X Mavericks compatible, though Hills can be a little glitchy (doesn't crash on my 2007 iMac).
Oriol Ferrer Mesià has updated his Anèmona, a particle-based screensaver based on LiquidMac, for OS X 10.8 and later.
Stéphane Sudre's Flocks is now OS X 10.6 ready, but doesn't run on OS X Mavericks. For what it's worth, he catalogs a large number of Mac screensavers, more than a dozen, which he says in the comments section below are all (save one) Mavericks compatible — your mileage could vary.
Of the above Mac screensavers, Hyperspace is easily my favorite — rich, smooth and trippy graphics…
What's your take?

22/05/2012 16:56Posted by CaladI dont have the stats infront of me right now, but I know I use a 885 dps one-hander, Blue one I bought on AH for 1million.
So, u use a 1 h weapon with shield ? or 2 similar 1h weapon ?
if you use a shield, with which stats? prefer block value or good armor combined with stats such as strength and life regardless of block value?
Thanks for the guide, I was using a similar but this combination with some personal change, it works great. Because I think the passive skills are a bit of choice of each :)

PORT ROYAL - Blane Heimbach, "The Selinsgrove Sensation," won the biggest sprint car race of his career to date Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway when he claimed the sixth edition of the Living Legends Dream Race.
Sprint car driver and owner greats Lynn Paxton and Al Hamilton were honored during the evening as the 2012 Port Royal Speedway Living Legends Dream Race honorees.
By the end of the night of racing, Heimbach's take neared $13,000 after all was totaled up.

Tony Stewart (14), the NASCAR Sprint Cup series reigning champion, takes the inside past Davey Sammons for the lead and win in the second main event Saturday evening at Port Royal Speedway.
Early in the night, Heimbach and reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, of Rushville, Ind., drove to victory in the twin 16-lap semi mains that were used to set the 30-lap Dream A Main field and both drivers claimed $2,000 for their efforts.
Heimbach also scored $320 in lap money for wiring the semi field while Stewart claimed $280 in lap money for leading 14 circuits of his semi with Davey Sammons picking up $40 in lap money for leading the first pair of circuits.
The 30-lap Dream A feature got started with Rick Lafferty and Heimbach sharing the front row and Lafferty jumping out to the early lead when the green flag fell.
Fourth starter Aaron Ott drove into third on the first circuit and gave chase of the leaders.
Heimbach started reeling in leader Lafferty with about five laps down and he quickly closed up the advantage and took the lead coming off of turn four to complete lap number nine.
The first 17 circuits of the race went non-stop with Heimbach entering lapped traffic as the leader while Ott scooted by Lafferty for second with 10 away.
Lap 11 saw sixth starter Danny Dietrich drive into third and begin closing in on the pair of frontrunners and by the halfway point Doug Esh was riding fourth with Tony Stewart in fifth.
The front five cars were racing together and through hectic traffic with Stewart working on Esh for fourth when the caution flag unfurled with 13 laps to go for a stopped Derek Sell.
The final caution of the race came out with 10 laps left, this time for a spun Adam Wilt.
And when action resumed, Heimbach began driving off from the field, stretching out a commanding lead over the closing circuits to pick up the victory by 2.737 seconds over Ott.
It was his second career checkered flag at Port Royal Speedway and with $440 in lap money from the Dream A along with the posted $10,000 Dream winner's share and his semi feature earnings of $2,320, Heimbach's final tally on the night was $12,760 for the CHR stables.
With a finish of second in the Dream A and a third in his semi main, Ott rode home with $5,700.
Third in the Dream went to Dietrich who took home $3,000 in total counting his finish of second in his semi feature.
Fourth place in the Dream A was taken by Stewart who pocketed a total of $3,700 on the night thanks to his lap money and a semi win.
Mike Erdley took fifth in the Dream A Main and scored $2,000 for his combined A and semi main finishes.
Sixth through 10th in the Dream A Main went to Alan Krimes, $1,750 combined total; Doug Esh, $2,000 combined total; Greg Hodnett, $1,800 combined total; Brent Marks, $1,305 combined total and Lance Dewease, $1,650 combined total.
Fast time awards worth $225 each went to Fred Rahmer and Adam Wilt as both set fast times for their respective semi mains out of a field of 41 cars. Rahmer's overall fastest lap came in at 16.324 seconds with Wilt timing in at 16.359.
The B Main was taken by Derek Sell. Keith Kauffman won the fan-voted 25th starting position in the Dream A feature.
The Dream A Main Hoseheads Hard Charger Award worth $300 went to Brent Marks who passed 14 cars.
Hard charger awards in the semi mains worth $100 each went to Chad Layton and Aaron Ott.
Layton picked up a free dyno from Ott Racing Engines in the Dream A while free Rider Engine dynos went to Danny Dietrich and Ryan Taylor in the A.
Free Goodyear tires out of the semi finisherswent to Curt Stroup, Bill Stine, Vince Snyder, Nate Snyder, Jordan Frontz and Rod Stroup with free Hoosier tires going to Blane Heimbach and Tony Stewart.
A free set of Penske shocks went to Dylan Cisney for finishing 16th in the Dream A.
John Heane exchanged the lead with AJ Stroup midway through the 20-lap pro stock feature before picking up his third pro stock Port win of the season.
Heane allowed Stroup to lead only two laps before driving back into control.
Dan Berry sureged in to second at the finish followed by Stroup, Nate Kerstetter and Harold Ranck Jr..
Sixth through 10th went to Scott Landis, Lucas Bryner, Andrew Shoop, Jeff Bryner and Derrick Garman.
Twin pro stock heats went to Garman and Heane.

Hi all.
At the moment I'm using 3.5" hdds in an external docking station.
I'm in the process of building a machine to act as a HTPC server and NAS, but was considering putting the xbox drives in there too and running the games through the network share....as I believe this feature is new for the latest FSD versions. This would save space, and allow me to add them to a raid pool for recovery should a drive fail
I'm just wondering though.....do these games only run through the FSD file manager? Or can they be displayed with covers etc, just like when browsing internal/external games?
Hopefully the latter,

they show up under the games menu if setup correctly the only draw back I've found is load times are two to the times lodger on average. but like you I like having the games on nas one its has some redundancies and two I don't have to have a hard drive with each Xbox I have. I've heard some people complain about games not playing but mine have played everything I've thrown at it even ones people said they wouldn't work correct.

Network Publishing
Adobe's new strategy to help the boundary between Print and Web Publishing to fall.
The idea is to herald the ability to create content that, via
(XML) and MetaTagging
, will be able to be output, from a single source, to a variety of media. Thus, naturally, reducing development costs (since anything will only have to be made once, not three or more times).
An idea which is an extension to their
technology, and in which their
played an intermittent role; content will create itself to look best depending on the medium it will be used with. via Palm,
, web browser, cross platform, print etc.
The idea, while not particularly new in itself, is a demonstration of Adobe's will to remain up to date and not to get caught out again by letting the web slip through it's fingertips. Rather than catch up with the technology as it emerges, it hopes to write the technology, before it emerges (one assumes, at least), thus remaining at least one step ahead of the game.
This makes me wonder, surely there are severe standards implications here. If a company decides to run off with its own 'standard' of these things, that'll ruin the whole thing, won't it? Perhaps then, at least, it will offer some incentive to companies to conform to a specific standard as they will realise that not doing so will reduce their market dramatically.

Four people were left homeless by a Monday evening fire in Concord.
Officials said the fire, which started in a garage and storage area on the ground level, spread quickly through concealed walls to the roof.
All of Concord's on-duty firefighters were called to the fire around 8 p.m., and eventually called for a second-alarm to bring help from Allenstown, Bow, Boscawen, Chichester, Pembroke, and Hooksett.
No one was injured. Residents spent the evening with family and friends in the area.
The address of the building is 12 Huntington/74 School Street. It was built in 1900.

Human Resources are at a critical crossroads in today's global marketplace. One route leaves HR where it has predominantly been from the days of National Cash Register.

A month ago, many of us were glued to the tube watching the finals of the World Cup from Brazil. It gave us an insight into how in order to win, the players had to be quick and nimble. Every second of the game, the players had to be alert to what was happening on the field. The goalie had to forecast the moves that were required in order to meet the incoming ball to keep out of the net. The player on the field had to judge when was the right moment to kick the ball or to…Continue

Over the past week I have been going through some family issues which began with a medical emergency last Friday. Everyone we talked to from our family practitioner to the ER medical team believed that the signs pointed towards one thing. When the surgeons went in to operate on Saturday morning, they found an entirely different problem was manifested in the same environment. Upon reflection we do the same steps in the HR world we work in.

In the LinkedIn groups (TLS-TOC Lean & Six Sigma in particular) there has been an ongoing conversation about when you merge the three.

Skip to comments.WHERE WAS EVERYBODY THIS YEAR?
Posted on 11/23/2010 7:46:34 PM PST by johnwcassell
click here to read article
My baby sis was born 32 days later, on Christmas Eve.
I think Johnson had Kennedy killed. He had the most to gain...and BOY, DID HE GAIN!!
(I was in 6th grade, and we were all sent home.)
Nov 22 is my son's birthday...but that was in '77.
I'd heard that on Barbara Walter's show, and just assumed it was a mispronunciation until your post.
I was just 4. I was at home at the time I guess, doing i don't know what. I do recall the parents being glued to the TeeVee, probably watching Cronkite that evening.
I was teaching on 9/11. We watched news all day.
I was four also, and honestly don't remember anything about it.
Not so fast there, newzie. At fifty-four I'm still working hard to undo the idiocy of my generation — and my parents' generation as well (ever heard of the New Deal?) But "the twilight of life?" D00d, get over yourself.
I was 88 days old.
That was perhaps the other "horrific and indelible" day in my memory.
I had just gotten out of bed, and was in my office waiting for my coffee to brew, when I started hearing radio reports of a plane hitting the WTC.
I got the TV in the living room on, and sat with my coffee, absorbing the incoming live information. Within a short time, my wife and I realized that this was no accident, and that the country was undergoing a terrorist attack.
Needless to say, we closed the shop that day, and canceled all appointments.
Happened on my 25th.
I won't be waxing nostalgic over JFK. But I will point out his death caused a lot of grief, for the same reason we'll get a lot of grief if some asshole does a JFK number on Zero.
You can beat a flunky with logic, but how do you beat a ghost?
I was in my 5th grade class here in Pennsylvania.
Well, like I said: I don't really recall anything except the parents being very serious and focused at dinner that night. In fact dinner, for them, was on the couch in front of the tube. Which in itself was odd at that time.
And I do recall afterwards seeing the Life magazine cover with JFK in the car in Daley a plaza right before it happened.
That's pretty much the extent of it. Until some years later seeing the Zapruder film late one night and going.... Woa! Up until that time i had never really seen "blood and guts" on TeeVee, either real or imagined, like we do today.
I know that we'll all remember the moments for that day, too. I may be jumped for this, but I believe it was more traumatic that the Kennedy day.
A few days old and planning to take over the world, and Obama was the best you could come up with?
So YOU'RE the One!
I and my younger brother were in the Air Force and both in Texas at the time. I was stationed at Goodfellow Air Force Base, San Angelo, and my brother was in basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio. He played in the Air Force band the day before JFK headed for Dallas. After their performance, Kennedy shook each member of the band's hand and pinned a Yellow Rose of Texas on each of their lapels. Next day he was gone.
By the way, that's a terrific post. One thing - - it wasn't all "downhill from there". The Beatles and the "British Invasion" brought a lot of great music forward, and the space program, culminating with the 1969 moon landing, also helped make the '60s a miraculous time to grow up in. Add transistor radios, color TV, and "muscle" cars to the mix and the point is, it was a topsy-turvy, insane time, but it wasn't all bad.
I was reading "Atlas Shrugged" for the first time...1st year out of college.
I saw JFK the day before the assassination...went to see him and Jackie when they arrived in Houston...and was not his biggest fan. But a POTUS is a POTUS.
A POTUS was a POTUS, and then came along Zero. Man, we've fallen...
You're right...I wouldn't go to the door to see that jerk.
"Jumped" on Free Republic for saying that 9/11 was more traumatic than the Kennedy assassination? Not likely.
Politics aside, both incidents shook our nation to its core.
I was in a Manhattan recording studio working the board for some horrible Jersey group who was cutting a demo. When the announcement about Kennedy came we canceled the session and me and a group of studio musicians went out and got stoned on heroin....which we would have done even if nothing had happened that day.
Well, was at the Texas Schoolbook Depository, right outside close to the corner ... and didn't really know what happened, at the time.
"That was the day that the 1950s died. Everything changed soon after that. Just three months later The Beatles arrived in America"
I'd say that Kennedy's administration was a transitional period between the '50s and '60s. Things felt different (a bit faster and more dynamic) than the sleepy Eisenhower years, but the assassinations, counterculture movement, and the Vietnam War (ie. the stuff that really defined the decade) hadn't happened yet
When I got back to the ship, I told the OOD that Kennedy had been shot and assassinated in Dallas, but initially he didn't believe me until he called the shipyard main office. Later he made an announcement over the 1MC, and noted that flags were to be run at half-mast. All personnel were ordered to report back by Noon Saturday, as most of the base would be sent up to DC for the funeral and as security. I wanted to go, but couldn't because of the work I was involved with, and the push to get the ship ready to refloat out of dock. Needless to say, that week and the Thanksgiving Dinner were very subdued, as we were all expecting a possible call to war footing on Cuba. However, thanks to Johnson instead of the Med I got to take the ship through Panama to San Diego, and was transferred of to a helicopter aircraft carrier up in Long Beach and several WestPac cruises.
In 1973, I got to see Executive Action. I do wish I had kept the newspaper print sheet they gave out, showing a lot of details from the film, and a listing and expose of the many witnesses they portrayed at the end:
Occurred about an hour after asking my future ex-wife to "go steady"...
Actually I was in 9th grade with a day off from school for the 1st Annual Sweet Potato Festival and Parade that was being held.
When my friends and I heard the news we were astonished that anyone would cry over losing him since no one we knew liked him.
I turned three that year. Probably playing with my Tinker Toys and jack-in-a-box.
Dave's not here!
1950s MAD cartoonist Will Elder refered to all of the little details and inside jokes in his panels as "chicken fat".
Also working its way up the chart at the time was "Dominique," a musical oddity by Soeur Sourire, aka The Singing Nun. This French-language song, about the crusader and evangelist Domingo Félix de Guzmán, who fought in the thirteenth-century Albigensian Crusade, actually made it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and sat there for several weeks--an illustration as to how times have changed, as it would be considered highly politically incorrect today.
'Whatever became of...'
Deckers became increasingly critical of Catholic doctrines and eventually became a public advocate for contraception. She also agreed with John Lennon's statements about Jesus in 1966.[citation needed] In 1967, she recorded a song entitled "Glory Be to God for the Golden Pill" a paean to artificial birth control under the name Luc Dominique. It was a commercial failure.
... In the late 1970s, the Belgian government claimed that she owed approximately $63,000 USD in back taxes.[2] Deckers countered that the royalties from her recording were given to the convent and therefore she was not liable for payment of any personal income taxes. Lacking any receipts to prove her donations to the convent and her religious order, Deckers ran into heavy financial problems. In 1982, she tried, once again as Sur Sourire, to score a hit with a disco synthesizer version of "Dominique", but this last attempt to resume her singing career failed.
Citing their financial difficulties in a note, she and her companion of ten years, Anna Pécher, both committed suicide by an overdose of barbiturates and alcohol on 29 March 1985.
Communists openly rioted in our streets and plotted to kill troops, police, and congressmen.
Jerry Rubin met with Che Guevara who encouraged him to take action in America rather than go globetrotting.
The Weather Underground sprang out of the SDS (Students For A Democratic Society) and launch their campaign of treasonous terror with a riot during the trials for the Chicago 7 (who'd coordinated riots in Chicago the previous year).
Rebel chic.
There was plenty of civil unrest from racists as well (and not just in the South).
There was a pall upon the land as that gross creature in the White House twisted arms ramming through Great Society opium to hook the economy on government aid. Yes, I missed Kennedy. His successor had the nation in flames...mobs in Washington chanted "burn...baby burn ...burn that White House down." It was nearly a half century ago... Yet those of us there will always remember... Why wasn't this Black Day in our history observed with a pause... a minute of silence?
A lot died with the President that day.
Whether you liked him or not.
The Red Diaper Doper Babies became more powerful in the 1960s and 1970s and BECAME members of Congress, anchors in the media, editors at the newspapers, and eventually took hold of the presidency several times over.
They won't mourn, if given half a chance, they would cheer.
Lucky you! I was busy managing Vaughn Meader.
After John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, sales of The First Family albums plummeted, and stores removed the records from their shelves as the nation went into mourning. A JFK-related Christmas single by Meader was released by Verve Records shortly before the assassination; it was quickly withdrawn. Meader and others commented through the years that the assassin's bullet killed not only Kennedy, but also Meader (or, Meader's career). His act was no longer in demand and even appearances that were already bookedincluding those for the Grammy Awards show, the Joey Bishop show, and To Tell the Truthwere canceled.
She died a recluse in Texas.
Meader later waxed a disc entitled "The New First Family, 1968." You can listen to the original "First Family" on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs9gOrGU8wE.
Hey, another very special person! Did you know Vincent van Gogh also shares our birthday?
Yes, but more importantly, so does Eric Clapton.
I was in my 1st grade class in Denton, TX.....40 miles north of Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald's niece was in my class, his brother, Robert lived about 3 blocks away from me.

Hi Robert,
I had some concrete work done about a year ago. It's a "stamp" finish and it looked beautiful, but now it has started pulling away from the house by at least an inch. There is also cracking in the center about a 1/2 inch wide. I called the concrete company and was told the problem is because the soil is moving. The contractor said it is not his fault. He said that he can't guarantee against cracks because that's typical. Now I can't open my gate. I was happy with the price, but now I'm not happy with the work. What do I do? Is there anything I can do? I'm really at a loss and the contractor has stopped returning my calls.
Jenny B.
Hi Jenny,
Hopefully, you hired a licensed concrete contractor. The unlicensed guys have a way of disappearing when faced with problems.
Spider cracking in concrete is typical, but 1/2 an inch? No.
If it's pulling away from your home, that means it was not pinned properly. The correct procedure would be to core and install rebar that ties the new pour up against the building. This is a typical result when concrete is poured and not tied to the foundation — you can get slippage and separation.
It also sounds like the soil underneath was not compacted before the slab was poured.
If the company is no longer responding to you, then it's obvious the contractor has no intention of coming back out to your home to make this right.
I suggest calling the California State Contractor's License Board and find out what they can do for you. You have a legitimate complaint, but keep in mind, the board is inundated with complaints like this. Unfortunately, there are many so-called contractors that do shoddy work, get a check and run for the hills.
Your next step would be to contact the board. Send the board photographs and a copy of the contract with all relevant dates and information. The board will work on your side to get this resolved. The board can require the contractor to return your money or come back and do the job right.
Based on what you're describing, the entire slab will need to be demolished. Next time make sure you use a reputable and licensed contractor that compacts the soil before the pour, uses mesh and pins the slab to the foundation. The size of the crack in the center is indicative of no mesh being used.
Again, there are many fly-by-night contractors in the industry. You, as the homeowner, need to be especially aware of who you are dealing with. Work only with licensed contractors. Ask questions. Check references and get everything in writing.
If a homeowners association had hired the contractor to do work at your house you would have no claim. The HOA would, because of their contractual relationship. Since you are the person who has suffered damages, then you have a legal right to go after the contractor.
Hi Robert,
I read your articles from time to time, but after this I'm going to start reading full time. I had some leaks in my living room ceiling during the recent rains. I have a home with a tiled deck that comes off of my master bedroom, which sits right above the part of the living room ceiling that got wet. I've had several contractors inspect the ceiling and they are all telling me different things. Some are telling me the drywall needs to be removed, one says stucco has to be replaced, one tells me the deck is bad and the other tells me it's the tar under the deck that is bad. I don't know who to listen to. I'm a widow and I feel like they may be trying to take advantage of me. Thank you very much,
Jess J.
Hi Jess,
Wet drywall is a recipe for mold so you need to have that taken out if you haven't already done so, and leave it open until the source of the leak has been repaired.
All the contractors may have their own theories, but until a water test is performed, no one can know for sure where the leak is originating. It very well may be the paper has failed behind the stucco, or the deck, or the threshold, window, roof, etc. — but to be certain a water test needs to be conducted.
We know for sure that the water is traveling down onto your living room ceiling. To conduct a water test post a person at the hole, once the wet drywall is removed, to check the spot for more water intrusion while the exterior of the building is tested with a hose. When it leaks again, then you've found the problem, but there may be more than one cause of the leak.
Hello Robert,
I want to make a work area in my car garage as sound and fire resistant as possible — welding will be performed. What insulating and wall covering material should I consider?
Dale T.
Hi Dale,
You could install sound deadening board or "soundboard" with one or two sheets of regular or soundproof drywall — sometimes called soundproof sheetrock or quietrock, on top. Drywall is fire resistant, but if you want something more effective, go with Type X drywall — 1/2 inch Type X has a 45-minute fire resistance rating; 5/8 inch drywall has a one-hour rating; and 3/4 inch Type X drywall has a two-hour rating — per sheet.
Instead of the soundboard, depending on your budget, there is a product called AcoustiBlok which is a rubber membrane — a viscoelastic polymer, that is very effective against noise. A 1/8 inch layer of this material, 3 milimeter, on a standard stud wall will give you more sound reduction than one foot of concrete.
More and more homeowners are now soundproofing individual rooms or entire homes. Many communities in California enforce residential noise standards of 60 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night, imposed by the environmental protection agency which states, "noise degrades quality of life by impairing communication and social interaction; reducing the accuracy of work, particularly complex tasks; and creating stressful levels of frustration and aggravation that last even when the noise has ceased."
The 55 decibels/60 decibels level is not much. It's about the noise level of normal conversational speech at 3 feet.

As tensions increase in Iraq, cable television news shows are turning to many of the same people who were regular guests during the 2001-2003 buildup to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, including S.C. Sen. Lindsey Graham. This did not escape the notice of comedian Jon Stewart, according to a blog post today by Erik Wemple, a blogger at The Washington Post.
In the segment on "The Daily Show," Stewart showed 2001 clips of Graham urging the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol warning about Hussein's weapons of mass destruction and Paul Wolfowitz talking about Iraq's ability to finance its own reconstruction.
In light of recent events, Stewart continued, the news media have "rushed to get the band back together again," Kristol appeared on ABC News. Wolfowitz on NBC News, and Graham on CBS News and CNN.

This might sound crazy but I realized this after I shot this photo. The term Table and a Dream came from this beautiful background of the hollywood sign and this amazing panic table, speaking for many skaters out there who aren't from California can relate. The first thing that comes into your head being a skater when someone mentions california you think of picnic tables or butter benches. This picture says so much being a skater and moving to california and making a dream a reality. Many skaters skate and become actors or comedians or even musicians but the first love and passion is there skateboard. I will never forget the day I pick up my skateboard and took my first push that would guide me to all of my dreams. – S.M.
Tip Tuesday
TIP TUESDAY: "Travel"Posted by Spanish Mike | Tip Tuesday | No Comments
Skateboarding has taken me all over the wolrd and I would of never thought I would see it with my own eyes. when you ride your skateboard you are always pushing to that next level and always trying to out do yourself. When you have the opportunity to travel to the next city, state, or country because of it you know that you have traveled far enough to see it because of your skateboard. – S.M.
TIP TUESDAY: "MONUMENTAL"Posted by Spanish Mike | Tip Tuesday | No Comments
This week's Tip Tuesday is "MONUMENTAL" because this photo that you're all looking at was shot when I was 16 years old skating with a young Harvey Soto. It's so incredible to see your friends grow up and become the things they always wanted to be. Harvey was one of those dudes that always motivated me growing up and I thought I was crazy for doing the things that I did, but now we are all laughing and enjoying the good times. Check out Harvey Soto's music video for "Skate". – S.M.

TIP TUESDAY: "Jonny5Skate"Posted by Spanish Mike | Tip Tuesday | No Comments
This week's Tip Tuesday goes out too Jonny Hernandez who has been one of the most youngest dedicated skaters I ever work with in these last few months. I see the drive and potential he has for a 12 year old. I know that all of you will be hearing his name in the many years to come. Be on the look out for his first ever video part to drop in a couple of months. – S.M.
TIP TUESDAY: "DRIVEN"Posted by Spanish Mike | Tip Tuesday | No Comments
This week's Tip Tuesday I pick the word "DRIVEN" for the right reason, who do you know close to you in your circle as driven as you are. I am surround by pure greatness ever which way I look around in my circle of friends. I am blessed to have the opportunity to work with some of the best skaters in the world. The point I am making here is that Felix is that Driven Individual, from riding his skateboard to creating something from scratch he makes it possible for you one day to set the path for others coming up. I shot this photo not thinking of anything of it til I looked through my phone today realizing that if you put your mind to anything you can achieve it and felix is a prime example of it. – S.M.
TIP TUESDAY: "History"Posted by Spanish Mike | Tip Tuesday | No Comments
I got too visit a historical skate spot which many of you know or have seen in past videos this past weekend, while visiting Houston, Texas. I had that happy feeling when you see something on a tv then go see it for the first time in person and just admire it. I know all of you know that can't stop talk about it feeling when your mind is blown away in real life. This rail has so much "HISTORY" behind it with many more to come. – S.M.
TIP TUESDAY: "CONSISTENT"Posted by Spanish Mike | Tip Tuesday | No Comments
In today's day and age we all have something we want to prefect. However, we must all have a "CONSISTENT" flow with it in order to accomplish that. For me, that's skateboarding. When I skate I can honestly say that by keeping up my consistency I can do anything I set my mind to. Riding my board truly pushes away all my worries in the world. – S.M.
"Never stop and always keep on pushing"
Tip Tuesday: "Excitement"Posted by Spanish Mike | Tip Tuesday | No Comments
This week's Tip Tuesday is right on point with the word I chose. I feel "Excitement" when I see two of my favorite things to do captured in one photo. I really want all of you to look closely at this picture and understand the concept behind it. I shot this of Nigel and Money Mike filming at jkwon last week. This pucture makes me feel excitement to see skateboarding being captured on a video camera. I enjoy knowing that the things we capture on our video cameras are irreplaceable. The fact that we can always turn back to our favorite videos is indescribable. What we do on an everyday basis will live on forever and we can always turn back to it. – S.M.
Tip Tuesday: "Invincible"Posted by Harvey Soto | Spanish Mike, Tip Tuesday | No Comments
This week's Tip Tuesday may sound 'super power' like, but it actually is. The photo you are looking at is Johnny Hernandez, who is the future of skateboarding. When I skate with him, the one word that comes to mind is "INVINCIBLE". The way he thinks, skates, and acts for his age is completely mind blowing. The way skateboarding has become for kids is so natural nowadays and for Johnny, it is a natural part of his life. – S.M.
