'DWTS' Introduces the Dance Duel — Did It Work?
April 17's results show on Dancing With the Stars introduced a new element to the dance competition that has never been done before: the Dance Duel. For those of you who are familiar with American Idol, it is very reminiscent to the Judges' Save in that they have the power to prevent an undeserving contestant from going home. So the couples who received the two lowest votes are pitted against each other in a dance-off, performing a routine simultaneously in front of the judges, who decide — based on that performance alone — which couple is sent home.
Placing something like this in a voting competition can garner some pretty mixed reviews. On one hand, it's a great way to help preserve the integrity of the show and ensure that this remains a dance competition, not a popularity contest. But at the same time it also devalues America's voting privileges, which could potentially turn viewers off from the show. Both are equally fair points, but for this week I was definitely glad to have the safeguard in place.
It came as no surprise to see Gavin DeGraw end up in the bottom two once more, given his less than lackluster performance for Latin Night, however, it was a bit shocking to see Jaleel White join him in the hot seat. Not only has White remained consistently talented since Season 14 debuted, but he's also one of the most well known given his Urkel background, so his almost-departure came as quite the surprise. It's times like this when having the judges' level-headed logic comes at a great advantage. As lovable as DeGraw is, his dancing skills pale in comparison to White's, making him the more deserving of the two to be eliminated.
It's always hard to say goodbye to people on this show, especially since you know they're working so hard, but the Dance Duel was a solid way to ensure we won't receive another shocking upset like we saw with Sherri Shepherd.
What did you think of this week's result show? Are you a fan of the Dance Duel or would you rather leave the decision up to America's votes? Who would you have chosen to end up in the bottom two?

Or get a http://www.gogostand.com that fits in your wallet. I created the GoGoStand since we needed a more portable solution. Keep reading for the paper clip template... Get the template at my website (in PDF): http://www.deanying.com/PermaLink%2Cguid%2Ca99a1c06-b55b-4001-afeb-46a707055ecc.aspx So I was wanting to watch Napoleon Dynamite. But I didn't have a way to prop up my iPhone. I went online to look for instructions on creating any kind of make-shift stand but all I came up with was some triangle thing made out of a dollar bill and also a retail item called the Bat Rest. The Bat Rest is a great idea... but I wanted something NOW. Anyway, long story short, after a couple of failures, I came up with this shape. FAQs: Will it scratch my phone? No it won't scratch your iphone if you do it right. Check out the video responses to see the stand done with the plastic-coated paper clips. Also notice how the ends of the paper clip are bent outwards so when you rest the phone on the stand properly, those tips don't even touch your phone.

November 7th:
I write this to you from a plane on its way to Morocco. Kevin and I have done quite a lot of traveling this past month, via bus, train, and foot, but this is the first plane we have taken. And you guys, planes are so fast! The map just told us that we are about 350 miles away from our destination and we will be landing in less than an hour.
Kevin and I recently traveled that same distance. By walking. With our feet.
It took us 30 days.
Technology is amazing!
We just spent the last three days in Portugal, which wasn't nearly enough time but at least we got a taste of it. We drank port in Porto and ate sushi in Lisbon and I was so happy to
not have to eat a peregrino menu del dia I could have cried (outside of the major cities, the food in the smaller towns in Spain was challenging, consisting primarily of bread bread bread, ham, cheese, and then more bread. Soooo much bread. Too much bread, even for a carboholic like me).
Leaving Santiago I was sad for about half a day, but then my "travel is to me what meth is to Walter White" feeling kicked in, and suddenly I was happy as a clam to be traveling again. We were going somewhere new! By train! Where we could eat real food! And see new sights! Oh the excitement!
We loved Portugal. For some reason it had never been that high on my "must visit" list, but it is now. The food, the wine, the culture, the people, the architecture… all were amazing. Lisbon itself was just incredible, and it quickly earned the title of one of my favorite European cities. It's worth so much more time than we were able to give it.
I suppose we will just have to go back!
(the more we travel, the more our list grows)
We've also run into quite a few pilgrims in Portugal, which has been fun. We are all easily identified by our backpacks and lack of normal clothes (aka ugly clothes). Though I was able to buy some boots in Porto, I wasn't able to find anything appropriate for 80+ degree Moroccan weather. So, I'm still in my gross pilgrim clothes, which I am not thrilled about, but hey, there are bigger problems in the world than what I look like. And I get to go to Morocco! What I'm wearing should be the least of my concerns. I'm a lucky girl, ugly clothes and all.
We are both ridiculously excited for this leg of our adventure. We haven't even arrived and we are already whining annoyingly about how we wish we had more time. There is just so much to do, and one week isn't nearly enough time to do it all! But it's a start.
We are also particularly excited to experience a totally new culture, something entirely different than we are accustomed to. Spain and Portugal are amazing, and of course they are not the same as California, but as Western countries, are not all that different from the U.S. Not like Africa, anyway. We are looking forward to the culture shock of it all.
My food just arrived (on foreign airlines you still get food! for free!) so I'm going to stop writing and start eating. Lunch consists of a chicken sandwich, a yogurt, and a Mars bar. This is gourmet compared to what we get in the states. It puts our airlines to shame.
November 9th:
The above was written on our flight from Lisbon to Casablanca. I think I was getting too comfortable, too arrogant in my traveling skills, so the universe decided to humble me.
"Hahaha" the universe said to me. "You want different, I'll show you different!"
After landing in Casablanca, the following things happened:
Our connecting flight to Marrakech was canceled, because of that we lost our luggage. The driver we organized to pick us up at the airport wasn't there, so after much confusion we took a taxi, who then got lost and took us to the wrong Riad, which led to a new slew of problems.
As if that wasn't enough, shortly after going back to the airport the next day to pick up our lost luggage, two men got into a fight and one of them took out a MACHETE and chased the other one down the street!!!!*
So yeah, we're not in Spain anymore!
Obviously all has worked out, we eventually got to our Riad and we eventually got our luggage, and now that we've had some time to settle and get our bearings we are back to having a great time (and it wouldn't be traveling if something didn't go wrong!).
Marrakech is nuts. It's crazy and chaotic and stressful and beautiful and amazing all at the same time. It's different than I remember it being… far less secular and more dirty and gritty, but wonderful nonetheless.
Tomorrow we are taking a three day tour through the Sahara desert. I am excited not only to see the desert and experience its secrets, but also to not have to make any more decisions for a few days. For the past five weeks we have been GO GO GO, so it will be really nice to just let someone else tell us what to do for a bit. Sometimes it's nice not having to use your brain.
Happy weekend** friends!
From this…
To this…
All in less than 48 hours!
Oh what a life we are living right now!
*This was a complete fluke incident, as Morocco is typically an incredibly safe place, especially for tourists. What we saw could have happened anywhere, it just randomly happened right in front of us. Even with that incident, we have not felt unsafe.
**you know life is good when you have to look up what day of the week it is…

5 heritage buildings to become museums
By Express News Service - KOCHI
Published: 03rd March 2013 07:57 AM
Last Updated: 03rd March 2013 07:57 AM
The State Government will convert five major heritage buildings in the State into heritage museums. Bastion Bungalow in Fort Kochi is one of the buildings to get the heritage status, and Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, who laid the foundation stone for the renovation of the Bungalow in Fort Kochi on Saturday.
The Chief Minister informed that funds were already allocated for renovation works.
The other buildings that will be converted into heritage museums are Sreepaadam Palace in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollamkode Palace in Thrissur, Velu Thampi Dalava Memorial museum in Pathanamthitta and Pazhassi's Tomb in Wayanad. The total cost for implementing the project is estimated at `14 crore.
Meanwhile, in his presidential address, Minister for Cultural Affairs K C Joseph said that the aim of the project is to convert the heritage buildings into educational centres. "The cultural integrity and glory of the buildings should be protected with the help of modern techniques. However, while using modern techniques, we should make sure that the existing structures are not affected," he said.
"The government aims to revive our cultural heritage with this project."he said and added that in order to create an archive of ancient sculptures, a workshop will be organised at Fort Kochi. The Minister said said that the Government will identify similar buildings in other districts and will take steps to renovate and preserve them. The funds allocated for the Bastion Bungalow renovation is `5.40 crore. Touch screens will be installed in the buildings so that visitors will have easy access to information on the items displayed in it.
Sculptures reflecting the cultural heritage of Kochi will be installed at the museum park.
Along with services offered by guides, audio guiding system in all major languages will be available at the renovated Bungalow.
Mayor Tony Chammany, Dominic Presentation MLA, Museum Executive Director S Raimon, and Ernakulam District Collector P I Sheikh Pareeth were present.

Hey everyone,
I want to build a trailer that my motorcycle can tow. I'm hoping to create it from aluminum, but I've never built ANY trailer and any and all (well, most all) suggestions from the group would be gladly accepted.
I'm unsure about the axle / wheel set up for something this small and finding a pre-made trailer that I could modify is nearly impossible without spending a fortune.
This trailer will be a flatbed approximately 2 1/2 feet wide and 5' long. I suspect I'll never be carrying more than 250 pounds on it.
I'm a sculptor and sometimes I need to head to a gallery 300 miles away... so, I thought, why drive my 6000 pound truck when I can ride my 45 mpg motorcycle.

Build it as a sidecar instead. More stylish, and you'll probably be able to find an existing design to copy.
Start by looking at the design and construction of trailers similar to the one you are envisioning. Before starting, consider the unit will prolly have to be DOT certified, and consider the legal aspects should something go wrong. JR Dweller in the cellar

There are a number of motorcycle trailers out there, ranging from single wheel types that are basically a suitcase with a hitch and a wheel to stuff that looks like half of a Gold Wing. But none that I'm aware of that are flatbed cargo carriers. That being said, there's nothing about motorcycle trailers that is particularly special other than that they have to either lean with the bike or not lean completely independent of the bike. Most of the two wheeled trailers I've seen use a hitch that will rotate perpendicularly to the direction of travel. Something like a U-joint is typically used.
Suspensions are all over the place, ranging from none to torsion bars to rubber biscuits. You definitely want to build something that's not going to bounce when it's empty or you'll get to stress test your health insurance.
Something like this: http://tinyurl.com/ycdqwk might be worth looking at for ideas if nothing else. On the other end of the spectrum of design is this: http://tinyurl.com/2sbmam No dealers near you that I know of and they're half a continent away, though.

James, my sedan is in the shop right now getting a new transmission.
See, I figured I would save a mint by towing stuff in a trailer rather than renting or borrowing a truck.
That misapprehension will cost me U$3600 (Three thousand six hundred dollars) this afternoon.
Even at Silicon Valley prices, I could have rented and gassed a truck for over *fifty* (50) trips for that amount of moolah. (Sad when you consider I rented trailers a total of four (4) times.)
Please learn from my mistake.
One assumes that your car has/had an automatic transmission and you didn't lock it into gear?
Not relevant to bikes :-)
Mark Rand RTFM
Mark Rand wrote:
Why is that? (Think clutch and brakes). Practically every part of the bike will experience larger stress values when towing a trailer than without it, yes? The engine and transmission will have a load placed on it the same as if it were headed uphill when accelerating and downhill during deceleration, due to the additional mass.
Don't even get me started on the dynamics of safely converting the kinetic energy of the trailer into brake heat on deceleration or the potential for 'whipping' if the trailer is not loaded properly or if the trailer wheels are too far forward or not properly aligned.
Seventy bucks rents you six times the payload capacity in the form of a nice new pickup with enough gas to do the average chore safely and quickly.
I'm here to learn, so feel free to correct me on this, (but first think about how often you will need to back up, uphill.) :)

Well, not literally, but pullin' a trailer behind a bike does come with a price, sidehacks too. They're not really designed for such shenanigans, but with a religious dose of preventative and regular maintenence, it can be done safely.
Wheel bearings and tires take th' brunt of it first. Ya just have to stay on top of those. Swing arm bushings/bearings take a hit too, as well as steering neck bearings. Some of those items ain't easily replaceable, or even serviced, either.
I pull one of these: www.uni-go.com/ but it doesn't have anything close to a 250 lb net weight cap. That little bugger doesn't weigh that much fully loaded, gross.
Picking on "Winston" section:
Enlighten us about your 'mistake', Winston - What kind of sedan, what kind of trailer? Age, powertrain type and mileage on the car? If it already had 150,000 miles on the typical automatic, the transmission going out may well have been normal wear and tear, and the trailer may not have had anything AT ALL to do with the failure. Or you didn't know to TAKE IT EASY when towing at the ragged edge of vehicle capacity, and killed it through abuse.
Clue: When it was my daily driver, I towed small trailers all the time for years with a 61 Corvair - 102 HP air-cooled (fan forced) and 2-speed Powerglide. When done correctly size is not a consideration, you just have to remember to leave plenty of room.
Did you have an auxiliary transmission cooler on the car? The one in the radiator is not enough if you are towing.
(I had to change the transmission rear cover on the Corvair to a Truck/Greenbrier rear cover to get the trans cooler fittings - Car cases didn't have the fittings, just a bypass slot.)
Did the trailer you were using have brakes? Same thing, it's a given on large trailers towed with large cars (Legally Required on any trailer over 2,000# - 3,500# - check your state laws) but should be installed on small ones towed by small cars. It saves both the car's brakes and the transmission if you were downshifting too much and too hard.

General Design thoughts section:
Rainlover: What kind of bike do you plan to use for towing? Liquid or air cooled? Wet or dry clutch? Can you install larger radiators and/or fans? Aux oil cooler? Aux trans oil cooler (if it's a divided sump)?
Can you get an oversized charging coil (alternator) for it? (They do make them for Harleys, big Beemers and Kawasaki 1100, the extra juice is needed to run the radios and lights on police bikes.)
They started making small trailer axles with brakes (both electric and surge) for large tent trailers, the same brake parts can be applied to a ~36" - ~48" wide axle for a motorcycle trailer. You call up Dexter Axle or one of the other actual trailer axle makers and tell them exactly what you want, give them a Credit Card, and in a week or three a truck pulls up to your house with a big heavy box.
The usual tackle for that size trailer would be 4.80X8" tires on 8" x 3-1/2" rims, 4 on 4" stud spacing, and they would give you 1080 pounds capacity for trailer and cargo. Using 4.80X12" tires gives you a lot more room for brake drums (and a bit more weight capacity) but would raise the trailer up a bit.
Those two standard size tires are available almost anywhere (Wal- Mart etc.) if you blow one, but you still want to carry a spare.
And if you want the Center of Gravity to stay really low, they make rubber torsion-box suspension axles (Dexter "Torflex") rather than standard leaf springs & slippers - though you have to watch your chassis design (and make the main rails a bit heavier) as there is a much higher torsional load since it's one attachment point ahead of the wheel center line.
You can even get the rubber spindle/suspension units as two separate stubs without an axle shaft between them, and have the box/bed between them practically on the ground - this is how they build the "Drop-bed" utility trailers that lower onto the pavement. But that's going to produce even higher torsional loads on the chassis rails, which will need to be stress engineered so it won't make like a pretzel going down the road - which is bad...
No surge brakes on something that small, I've never seen a tongue for them that will swivel... And you really do need a way to activate the trailer brakes by hand that surge just won't do - unless you trip the breakaway arm, but that's a one-shot deal.
You could go with the new "Electric Hydraulic" brakes (Carlisle "Hydrastar" or Dexter Axle "ElecDraulic") if you can take a ~20-pound weight penalty for the electric pump unit on the trailer (and find a place to put it) - they use hydraulic disc brakes on the trailer axle that are a lot easier to maintain.
The electric brake controller could be a bit tricky to spec on a motorcycle, I would NOT use a straight inertia controller - it might mis-read the front fork dive and over-brake the trailer. And the 'Sandwich' pressure sensor that goes on top of the brake pedal is out, it won't fit on the brake lever.
They still make the kind of electric trailer brake controller that has a pressure sensor that tee-taps into the brake lines for a proportional braking signal, but I'm not sure whether you would tap it off the front or rear brake circuit on a motorcycle - your hands are trained that when the rear of the bike gets squirrely you ease off the back brakes, and IMO that might not be the right instinct if a trailer started to jackknife and push the rear end around.
When a trailer starts getting squirrely behind you, you want to apply MORE trailer brakes (up to lock-up) to get it back in line. And if you have room you ease off the tow vehicle brakes till it quiets down - but not if you are in a Panic Stop situation.
You might want to remote the "Panic Button" for the electric trailer brakes "Full ON" to a thumb button (like the horn) you can stab while keeping both hands on the grips. On a car it's a lever or a button on the front of the brake controller under the dash, but taking a hand off the bars in a panic situation could be a very bad idea.

I now suspect that towing a trailer is abuse. Live and loin.
Ah. Now he tells me. :)
Don't worry, I'll be gentle. I'm here to "learn ya" and anyone else who reads along might pick up a few valuable pointers for later. It's simple to not abuse the equipment, just takes some forethought.
Well, you said elsewhere that the final drive gears ("differential") went south. Those normally don't *ever* die. Who has been doing the oil changes on the car - You, the Dealer, or (this is the one that can be big trouble) the untrained teenagers at the local 'Spiffy Lube'?
Some of the Toyota front-drive cars are tricky, and I'm not sure if yours is one of them - they use ATF in both the transmission and as the gear lube on the differential compartment side of the case. So you'd pull a drain plug and see red fluid coming out and figure it's coming from the transmission... But there is a divider and an oil seal between the two compartments, and a separate fill plug.
If they (or you) drained the ATF from the diff side and didn't know they have to pull a pipe plug and fill the other side of that divider with ATF too, your final drive gears could have been running dry - and that most assuredly WILL quickly kill them.
Heck, I've been screaming that one from the watchtower for decades - the fluid-to-coolant transmission cooler inside the radiator is NOT sufficient for towing, they can only get down to slightly above coolant temperature, and that can still be 240 degrees on the cooler output... You need a fluid-to-air radiator style cooler to dump the mass quantities of heat you'll need to get rid of.
And every welding and hitch shop I've ever visited has big posters up - of course, they're also /selling/ and installing the coolers, but they make sure you know it really is necessary.
The only time the added cooler isn't needed is when the car already has the factory towing package with the added cooler. And while a lot of SUV's and trucks come that way, most small import sedans don't.
The other "Towing Package" items like the oversized radiator and more aggressive fan & fan clutch you can live without - if you take it easy and watch the temperature gauge like a hawk when climbing hills - and back off if the needle starts climbing. And if you ever have them replaced you use the HD parts.
Same thing with the HD alternator & battery for little utility trailers like that - but not if you're driving a lot at night with the added tail and stop light loads, or trying to power electric brakes and recharge the 'house battery' on a travel or tent trailer between overnight dry-camping stops. Then you do need an oversized alternator to put out enough juice to get them both charged without starving the car's starting battery.
You have to ask for a trailer with brakes. On a rental, they are likely to be hydraulic surge trailer brakes, with a controller/master cylinder built into the tongue coupler. They work fine for normal uses, and require no special equipment on the car.
Note that some rental equipment companies (coughU-Haulcough) are notorious for (among *many* other things) renting trailers with non- functional surge brakes, even after multiple reports from prior renters that they don't work. Pop the fluid fill cap on the master cylinder and it's dry as a bone - but the inspection sticker was checked off last week...
If you want to test surge trailer brakes do not engage the reverse lockout lever on the controller and try backing the trailer on an uphill - unless it has the extra cost brakes that don't engage in reverse (doubtful on a rental) it should fight you with much chirping and chattering of tires. Or pull on the Breakaway Cable till it locks and try driving forward, same fight. You have to push a latch to release the breakaway lever.
Oh, and the breakaway cable DOES NOT EVER hook to the hitch or bumper where you hook the safety chains - the whole shebang (bumper hitch and brackets) can and does fall off occasionally, and if the cable is clipped on the bumper the breakaway will never activate...
Tie the breakaway cable off to either a permanent 1/4" or better forged eye-ring into the body (a nice place to "hide" a permanent one in plain sight is to double holding on the license plate) or a heavy nylon webbing strap tied to the trunk or tailgate latch assembly.
The ring or strap will snap too, the forces are too great - but it has to be sturdy enough to snap only /after/ pulling that breakaway lever into the latched position, or pulling out the breakaway switch pin on an electric brake trailer.
Trucker's Rule: You go down the hill in the same gear you go up it. You can relax that rule in a passenger car or pickup, but not by much. Especially if your trailer is near or at the maximum weight allowed for your car.
On the flats or a slight uphill, if the engine hunts in and out of OD, lock it out and stay in 3rd. And if it hunts in and out of second or first climbing a hill, lock it in the lower gear and you can ease off the gas a bit, get better fuel economy than when your foot is planted flat on the floor. Repeated shifting under full load is bad, heats things up a lot. Worse when the torque converter has to unlock before the shift, the converter makes a LOT of heat when it slips.
Let compression braking keep you at a safe downhill speed, you drop out of Overdrive into 3rd or 2nd to hold a steady speed, and you shift at the top of the hill so you aren't slamming the gears and rapidly zinging the engine RPM's up when the shift engages. If it's going to be close, tap the gas and increase revs as you downshift so it drops in easy, then remove the gas.
Keep your feet OFF the brakes going downhill, downshift and let the engine do most of the work except for tapping the brakes to trim speed. If you ride the brakes hard down the hills and get the brakes red hot, and then need to make a full stop they May Not Work - heat fade and/or boiling brake fluid may make the brakes go partially or fully away.
Needless to say, This is Not Good - start looking around for the "Runaway Truck Escape Ramp" signs at the bottom of the hill, you may be learning how they work "up close and personal"...
(Pea gravel, two or three feet deep. Steer for the center. When you come to a stop get the hell out of the car and on the other side of the safety wall NOW, in case another truck comes in after you do.)
Not to mention when riding the brakes on hills you'll chew through brake linings and rotors/drums at a frightening rate. If you hot-spot or warp the rotors/drums they can't be turned, only replaced. They ain't cheap, especially if you pay someone else to do the brake work.
If you don't have a tachometer to watch it, be sure you know the maximum speed for each gear and never go faster down a hill than the engine will let you accelerate in that gear - it IS POSSIBLE to over-rev the engine to destruction on over-run, because the rev limiter can only cut fuel - and going down a hill the weight of car and trailer is pushing you faster without adding any fuel.

<lot of good stuff snipped>
The executive summary: Towing with most any *car* is risky at best, especially in these days where high MPG numbers mean no safety margins in the design for towing loads.
The response - yes, if you plan to go to the local Dragstrip and make 1/4-mile trap runs with the trailer attached.
With small cars and the necessarily small trailers that are all they can handle, you have to consciously take it easy on the equipment.
If your average car broke that easily with no or little passenger load and a full trailer, they wouldn't last long with the same weight carried as 5 passengers and a trunk stuffed with luggage, either. And people would be making valid warranty claims if the car couldn't carry the rated passenger and cargo load.
The weight loads are roughly the same, the only difference being where it is stowed. Yet the car makers have the balls to say you can carry four passengers and 1000# of luggage, but you can not tow a trailer with the same load.
How to drive a car the right way:
There's an apocryphal story about Ivan Ironman Stewart and a manual transmission Class 8 Toyota race truck in the old Baja 1000, where he felt 2nd gear start to get lumpy and noisy (like it was going to go away) soon after the start of the race. He slammed through the race as usual - except as he soft-pedaled it into, on, and out of second gear for the entire race. One brain fart, one moment of inattention to the task, and his day is done.
He completes the race and won the class, pulls onto the trophy stand, gets all the adoration and pictures...
...The pit crew goes to pull the race truck off the trophy stand and put it on the trailer for the trip home, and even after a warning the driver grenades second gear on the first try, which immediately turned the whole box into shrapnel - nothing works.
They had to push it onto the trailer.

When my son was at senior school here in the UK aged 15/16, some 10 yrs ago he built just such a trailer for his school CDT project in his summer holidays. to go behind his honda CB 185. The first thing he had to do was look up the transport regulations as to what maxsize ie length width and gross weight applied. Once these paremeters were in place I made him design this trailer around a de dion axle ,panard rod and 2 rear 185 suspension units. also 2 front cb 185 front wheels with solid aluminium disks pressed into the brake drums machined to take 2 bearings a larger inner and smaller outer. the trailer frame was 1,1/2. by 1/8th bed iron, arc welded up all filled in with 1/2in marine ply. We ran out of bed iron and I suppied him with proper mild steel.!! he berated me for making him weld the most difficult of iron first!! All part of his training. Then he had to make up the "U" bracket to connect the trailer to the tow point behind the rear wheel.
Looked very smart when it was finished, his cdt master at his school didnt believe he made it. I had to write to his school pointing out what he had done and how he had done it.
But of course hes my son! and already had a 14 yr engineering appenticeship here since he was 2 yrs old. Not only can he use all my machinery but I have made him think out technical solutions to problems like his trailer. If any of you have sons teach them all you know best investment you can make.
ted Dorset UK ,
True Both my sons weld far better than I do, probably lack of practice on my part - I improve after about 30 minutes.
Youngest son is a motor mechanic - but not your average one, he hates servicing & repairs. His speciality is turbocharging, for his own car he built the inlet manifold so no pipe was more than 1mm off true balance and I think he got 211kW on road from 2 litres before the back axle decided to go PING,TINKLE.
Current modification is making a 36mm Jackeroo axle fit the 26mm Gemini stuff, turn down outer diameter to fit Gemini wheels, re-drill for 4 studs not 6, make spacer washers to allow the different bearings to fit etc. etc.
This is where he works http://www.c-red.com.au/index.php

I did a Google search on 'build motorcycle trailer' This link looked interesting. http://www.xs11.com/tips/norm/mtrailer.htm
there are lots of pics here, www.singlewheel.com scroll down on the left-hand frame to "scooter and motorcycle trailers".
Allot of guys doing the same thing here.
I built a one wheeled trailer to pull behind my Harley Davidson Ultra Classic, to haul camping gear. It gets used to haul tools to my mom's house once in a while too. Many people just buy a trailer kit from Harbor Freight and modify it for their needs. Greg
There have been literally hundreds of motorcycle trailers built from the small H/F trailers. The 40"X48" with 12" tires is the most popular to work with that sells for 159.00 on sale. Some people leave them their stock width and others narrow them.

Taxes are something that most people must pay at some point in their lives. Paying taxes allows societies to be able to fund important civic endeavors that benefit all of those who live in the society. This includes items such as roads as well as services such as a police force and local schools. The use of such taxes can help people make sure that they always have access to clean water and a functional sewage system. Many people need to be able to make sure that they are in obedience with all local tax laws as well as any other laws that may apply to their specific circumstances such as federal tax laws and laws that govern specific situations such as inheritance tax laws and laws that apply to any money that a minor in their care may earn on their own or as part of a prior inheritance in their name.
Most people will need free legal advice in order to be fully aware of all of the tax laws and that apply to their specific situation. In many cases, even a freelancer will need to file quarterly tax payments in order to be on the right side of the law. Someone who is retired may need to file tax payments as well on income related to any interest earned on their investments as well as any kind of social security payments they may have received. The same is true of those who are seeking to avoid an unexpected tax payment that may happen at tax time. Someone may find that they owe taxes and will need to pay such payments to various state and national agencies during the month of April. Avoiding such unexpected bills is imperative for those who may not have the funds on hand at any given time frame.
In order to make sure that no one faces such unexpected tax issues, many people find that is best to turn to outside sources for help. Many kinds of help are available including help from tax lawyers. A tax lawyer is someone who specializes in helping people and companies navigate all aspects of tax law. The lawyer can help someone to be able to make sure that they are paying only as much taxes as they need to pay legally. Many people find that the help of such skilled professionals can be the ideal way to be able to save money on any taxes they may owe.

Campbell Soup Co. officials told analysts Monday that the Camden food company aspires to reach $10 billion in annual revenue within the next five years.
That is an aggressive target for Campbell, which has about $8 billion in annual revenue now.
Achieving it is likely to require acquisitions, given that Campbell has been failing recently to match its goal of increasing revenue by percent to 4 percent a year, without the help of acquisitions.
The purchase of three faster-growing companies in the last two years - Bolthouse Farms carrots and juices, cookie-maker Kelsen Group, and Plum Organics children's foods - has helped build momentum, said Anthony DiSilvestro, the company's chief financial officer.

Website Hosting is when a company provides a server on lease or provides access through their own server along with internet connection to another company to host their websites online. Companies which offer such services are called Web Hosting Providers or Hosting Companies.
The best method of finding a website hosting package from a company to suite your needs is to check on their price and features. The first work of a website hosting package is to manage your web space or the main file. Significant website hosting system files such as your public_html sub-folder that let people to check out your site as long as you want are saved in this directory. Yet another task is protecting your website content. The subsequent job is to make certain you are in a position to use the package features such as e-mail account creation etc by managing the set of tools (Control panel) which is available with the package. One good company I often recommend is Bluehost (read it here).
There are a lot of such packages in the market with diverse characteristics. The important features, however, are the same in all website hosting packages. Some features available are.
A student at Roger Williams University named Jason Mattera, 20, has been in the press recently because he is the President of the Young Republicans Club on campus and the club is offering a scholarship for which only white students are eligible, a move they say is designed to protest affirmative action. What makes Mr. Mattera different is that he is of Puerto Rican descent and is and has been the recipient of numerous scholarship awards given out by the Hispanic College Fund, a Washington D.C.-based organization run predominately by and exclusively for Hispanics.
Mr. Mattera says the Young Republicans are parodying minority scholarships. The application for the $250 award requires an essay on "why you are proud of your white heritage" and a recent picture to "confirm whiteness." "Evidence of bleaching will disqualify applicants," says the application, issued by the university's College Republicans. A recent quote from Mr. Mattera on CNN had him saying that "We think that if you want to treat someone according to character and how well they achieve academically, then skin color shouldn't really be an option," he said. "Many people think that coming from a white background you're automatically privileged, you're automatically rich and your parents pay full tuition. That's just not the case."
Although I respect Mr. Mattera's right to voice his beliefs, he is clearly wrong in his opinions regarding minority scholarships and affirmative action. And it is not because of that tired old saw regarding the injustice and discrimination that minorities have suffered in the United States–although there is that. The reason that Mr. Mattera is wrong is simply a matter of competitiveness. America has a history of assisting minority groups that are at a competitive disadvantage to better compete in the marketplace. For example, the United States has laws to insure that physically disabled people can have wheelchair and other forms of disability access to important goods, services, and jobs; there are taxpayer subsidies worth tens of billions of dollars each year given to help smaller farmers compete against large corporations and large American farmers to compete against agricultural products from third world nations; there are tariffs against some foreign goods and services designed to assist domestic companies to compete against low-priced foreign goods and services; and there are export subsidies to assist American companies to be more competitive internationally.
Affirmative action, including scholarships for minority groups that are at an educational disadvantage in American society, is another such assistance that is or should be designed to assist minority groups like Hispanic Americans better compete in a global market place. For what are college degrees except a way to compete more effectively against other job seekers?
Hispanic Americans recently surpassed African Americans to become the largest minority group in the United States, yet Hispanic Americans who are predominately of Mexican descent have the lowest penetration of any minority group in higher education in the nation. Hispanic Americans should and need to be provided with educational assistance up to and including educational grants to better compete against the non-Hispanic white majority. These competitiveness subsidies–if I may–are a just and desirable activity, not only for Hispanic Americans but for all Americans. Change is possible, just look at the green movement. As we all know, there is nothing more expensive than ignorance, and America will not continue to succeed without the full participation of its minority groups in all segments of American life and culture.
And therein lies the crux, when many non-hispanic whites loudly proclaim that they are being discriminated against for being white by not having the same affirmative action or scholarships that minorities have, then the answer to their complaints is that they are not in a group that needs the assistance. Individually, they may need the help like we all do occasionally, and there are programs available to assist such students, regardless of their background. But to complain that they are being discriminated against is just plain wrong. Non-Hispanic whites are not being discriminated against, they are just not being targeted for additional assistance because they as a group already hold the reigns of political and economic power in this county. This is why Jason Mattera is wrong, as well as being outrageously hypocritical.

Ricardo Pinto Nogueira, executive operations superintendent at the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), explains the launch of a new corporate sustainability stock index.
What is the corporate sustainability index?The Bovespa's
Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) will be the first stock
index in Latin America designed to measure the return on a
portfolio of companies that are highly committed to
sustainability. That is, the economic, social and environmental
sustainability of the company, or what is known as the "triple
bottom line." The ISE will also consider companies' corporate
governance standards. The ISE is similar to the Dow Jones
Sustainability Indexes, launched in 1999. What is driving
interest in sustainable investing in Brazil?Brazilian companies
are exporting more to different markets than they were five

Lawn Gone!by Pam Penick
A colorful guide covering the basics of replacing a traditional lawn with a wide variety of easy-care, no-mow, drought-tolerant, money-saving options that will appeal to today's busy, eco-conscious homeowner.Americans pour 300 million gallons of gas and 1 billion hours every year into mowing their lawns, not to mention 70 million pounds of pesticides and $40 billion for lawn upkeep. No Wonder the anti-lawn movement is thriving, as today's eco-conscious consumers realize that their traditional lawns are water-hogging, chemical-ridden, maintenance-intensive burdens. Lawn Gone!, from award-winning gardening blogger Pam Penick, is the first basic introduction to low-water, easy-care lawn alternatives for beginning gardeners, written in a friendly style with an approachable package. It covers all the available time-saving options: alternative grasses, ground cover plants, artificial turf, hardscaping, mulch, and more. In addition, it includes step-by-step lawn-removal methods, strategies for dealing with neighbors and homeowner associations, and how to minimize your lawn if you're not ready to go all the way.
The Water-Saving Gardenby Pam Penick

Including a directory of 100 plants appropriate for a variety of drought-prone regions of the country, this accessible and contemporary guide is full of must-know information on popular gardening topics like native and drought-tolerant plants, rainwater harvesting, greywater systems, permeable paving, and more.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Fleet rerouting strategies with real-time traffic information
Document typeConference report
Date issued2010
Rights accessOpen Access
The design and evaluation of City Logistics applications requires an integrated framework in which all components could work together. Therefore, City Logistics models should account for vehicle routing applications and fleet management models capable of including also the dynamic aspects of the underlying road network, namely when ICT applications are taken into account. This paper develops a methodological proposal based on an integration of vehicle routing models and real-time traffic information. In the computational experiments conducted in this paper, a dynamic traffic simulation model has been used to emulate the actual traffic conditions providing, at each time interval, estimates of the traffic state on each link of the road network that are then used, by a real time fleet management system, to determine the optimal dynamic routing and scheduling of the fleet.

2014 NFL Season Schedule: SB 48 Rematch
All we know so far is that there will be a Super Bowl XLVIII rematch. We don't know when the full schedule will be released, but it was supposed to be today at some point. Let's hope it comes soon.
#SB48 rematch? Yes!
@Broncos. @Seahawks.
It's coming... (so is the 2014 NFL Schedule!)
SNEAK-PEEK: http://t.co/9dn47pQblX— NFL Network (@nflnetwork) April 22, 2014
Let's also hope that the rematch between the Broncos and Seahawks is more entertaining than the 43-8 slaughter that was the Super Bowl.

The RGA has a website (West Virginia Pays) and an ad up to get people... acquainted... with acting Governor Earl Ray Tomblin (D):
To refresh people's memories: West Virginia - a coal-producing state that is almost stubbornly Democratic on the local level, despite the fact that the national Democratic party elite dreams of dismantling the coal industry - last year saw Democratic governor Joe Manchin transfer over to the US Senate. This made state Senate President Tomblin - a man who has been a professional politician for almost my entire life; heck, he went directly from school to the legislature - acting Governor; there will be a special election in October of this year; his Republican opponent is businessman and engineer Bill Maloney.
The state of the race is... interesting. Tomblin is generally considered to be the frontrunner, but despite a fundraising advantage even the Democrats' own pollsters can't get the acting Governor above 47%; in fact, Tomblin's numbers have been stagnant for months. Now that we're about a month in from the actual election, though, the race will heat up - and it will be interesting to see how Tomblin explains how he plans to work with an administration whose members visibly have to remember to restrain themselves from counting West Virginian fingers and toes every time an administration official is forced to visit West Virginia. Particularly since the EPA's War on Coal is heating up; if there's been a time where the disconnect between a national and a state party has been in starker contrast, it's not immediately coming to mind.
Besides: the way things are going nationally, having a Republican governor in West Virginia would be in West Virginia's best federal interests, starting in 2013...
Moe Lane (crosspost)
PS: Bill Maloney for West Virginia Governor.

To feed the future, let's make logistics and transport sustainable
If we are dead serious about this challenge, then we really need to pay greater attention to the role of transportation and logistics, both crucial in increasing food security, so we can feed 9 billion people by 2050, and mitigating impact on climate change. Just consider these facts:
- Up to 50% of harvest is wasted between farm and fork, the moment we actually consume food.
- Transport-related emissions account for about 15% of overall greenhouse gas emissions. And 60% of those emissions are coming from road transport.
- And logistics costs affect small farmers disproportionally (up to 23% of their total costs).
Boosting the business environment
The government of Madagascar had asked for assistance in boosting economic activity, creating jobs, and reducing poverty in three key regional centers: Antananarivo-Antsirabe; Nosy Be; and Taolagnaro (Fort Dauphin).

ATLANTA (AP) - St. Louis vs. Tennessee in the Super Bowl is the perfect ending for this Grateful Dead NFL season. What a long, strange trip it's been.
The trail to the Georgia Dome has followed all manner of odd twists and turns. Players disappeared and whole teams pulled their own vanishing acts. It was as if some invisible hand grabbed the NFL by the lapels and shook it violently, just to see what would happen.
Perhaps most peculiar were the topsy-turvy standings where haves became have-nots and also-rans turned into champions.
Two-time Super Bowl champion Denver sank to 6-10 and never was in contention. San Francisco, which had not had a losing season since 1982, went 4-12.
Nine other teams finished at 8-8, the ultimate measure of mediocrity - and parity. Two of the 8-8 teams, Detroit and Dallas, made the playoffs, and two other 9-7 teams, Miami and Seattle, qualified despite losing five of their last six games.
Breaking even was a job-breaker for coaches Chan Gailey at Dallas, Pete Carroll at New England and Ray Rhodes at Green Bay. Bill Parcells resigned as coach of the Jets, another of the 8-8 crowd. Then, a day later, handpicked successor Bill Belichick did the same thing.
Belichick's contract with the Jets was upheld by commissioner Paul Tagliabue and the courts. But Belichick became coach of the Patriots when New England gave the Jets draft-choice compensation. The Jets had to do the same thing three years ago to get Parcells from the Patriots.
Now Belichick owns the unique distinction of having been appointed coach of the Jets twice - the first time when he accompanied Parcells from New England - and never coaching a game. At 0-0, he has the fewest losses of any coach in franchise history.
The season turned sour early for defending conference champions Denver and Atlanta, their lineups shredded by injuries.
Running backs Terrell Davis of the Broncos and Jamal Anderson of the Falcons went down with torn-up knees, taking their teams with them. The same thing happened to the Jets when quarterback Vinny Testaverde snapped his Achilles' tendon in the season-opener.
Meanwhile, Indianapolis, Tennessee and St. Louis had a reversal of fortune, all going 13-3.
For the Colts, it was a record-setting about-face from 3-13 a year ago. The Titans emerged from three straight 8-8 seasons and rode a desperation sandlot play all the way to the AFC championship. The Rams shrugged off nine straight sub-.500 seasons to win the NFC title.
A fistful of new stars emerged. Running back Edgerrin James of the Colts and defensive end Jevon Kearse of the Titans were offensive and defensive rookies of the year, All-Pros and Pro Bowl choices.
The MVP was Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, plucked from a career in the Arena League and NFL Europe and plugged in when Trent Green was injured during training camp. Green had been imported from Washington and signed to a fancy contract.
The same thing happened in Minnesota, where Randall Cunningham signed an expensive extension last year and then gave way to journeyman Jeff George, who took the team into the playoffs. Now the Vikings say they can't afford to re-sign George.
Before the season ever began, one of the league's marquee players suddenly retired. Detroit's Barry Sanders abruptly walked off as the NFL's No. 2 career rusher. No. 1 draft pick Dimitrius Underwood did much the same thing to the Vikings.
Underwood, a defensive end from Michigan State, experienced a religious epiphany and left training camp. Placed on waivers, he was claimed by Miami, played one preseason game and then attempted suicide. The troubled player is out of football.
Another Miami rookie, running back Cecil Collins, wound up in jail, charged with breaking and entering and violating probation. The charges were far more serious for Carolina wide receiver Rae Carruth, accused of murder in the shooting of his pregnant girlfriend.
It might have been the brushes with the law by some of its players that led the NFL to ban the throat-slashing gesture, a modern taunt that had a rather sinister side to it. Brett Favre, Warren Sapp, Keyshawn Johnson and some others had to find another way to celebrate.
For the league, the annual Super Bowl celebration marked the end of a season that often seemed like a Stephen King novel.

Elizabeth Bear's forensic magic
Subterranean Press has published a new ebook collection of Elizabeth Bear's stories featuring Lady Abigail Irene Garrett, sorcerer and sometimes official investigator in Bear's 'New Amsterdam' world. The five stories in 'Garrett Investigates' span the years from 1879 to 1941 in Bear's counterfactual universe, in which American colonies stayed under British rule, though restively, and thaumaturgy has been developed as a science.
Garrett would likely have much to talk about with Jane Tennison, the British Detective Chief Inspector played by Helen Mirren in "Prime Suspect." Both are women in authority navigating a male-dominated world, both have complicated personal lives and both could be said to drink too much. Garrett is feistier, though, and I don't think Tennison ever (1) had an affair with a prince (2) met Nikolai Tesla or (3) donated some of her blood to a hungry vampire. »Read Full Blog Post
Theatre Unchained fails to recapture magic of 'Fawlty Towers'
After two series involving 12 priceless episodes of "Fawlty Towers" — one of the great sitcoms of all time — authors John Cleese and Connie Booth called it quits, partly because they were concerned a third series could bring a falloff in quality.
Watching the patchy Theatre Unchained production on Saturday night of three "Fawlty" episodes — "The Germans," "The Kipper and the Corpse" and "Basil the Rat" — I found myself wishing it had followed Cleese and Booth's example. »Read Full Article(2)
