Anyone know if they do or remember where they got the caps from.
Bike Forum
M780 shifters do they come with caps?
Anyone know if they do or remember where they got the caps from.
What type of caps? Ive got some spares lying around you can have for couple of quid?
Do you mean the iSpec caps? Think it depends where you get them from; UK no/Germany yes.
Just the caps so I can take the displays off. Not the ispec ones.
Mine came with
Mine didn't. Cheapest on bike discount.de
Aftermarket ones should come with the blanking caps. OEM ones do not, as I found out the hard way!
I ended up ordering them from http://www.sjscycles.co.uk since I couldn't find them for sale anywhere here in the US!
Creamegg I would email you but how?
My email is in profile if you could send a few pics
IIRC On mine they were inside the shifter - once you took the shift window bit off, all was revealed.
Mine were aftermarket though. Worth having a look inside before you buy.
I got some from CRC and they came in a box, so not OEM but they didn't have the covers. The instructions said that they don't come with the covers (may be a recent change). However I asked CRC and they sent me some for free anyway!
780s don't come with covers you have to buy them separately. I got mine from rose bikes after dropping them an email, couldn't get them in the uk at the time.

He was supervising architect of the Atlanta International and Cotton State Exposition in 1895, designing practically all of the fifteen principal structures, and was architectural chief of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition in Charleston during 1901.
His most famous work was the "Tower Building" where he held his practice in an office on the top floor. Because of the building's unique design and construction, all credit is due to him of inventing what is known today as "skeleton or curtain wall construction".
Mr. Gilbert was first married in 1871 in New York to Cora, daughter of Captain John Rathbone. After his divorce, he married his second wife in 1892 in Cranford, New Jersey to Maria (Fahy) McAuley, widow of Jerry McAuley, the famous missionary, who died in 1884. On February 12, 1896, Bradford and Maria had a daughter named Blossom.
Bradford passed away in Accord, Ulster County, New York of Dropsy (known today as Edema).

And now for something completely different
Looking for the perfect gift for the beer drinking PETA member you know. Not to worry, Scotland's BrewDog brewery has just the gift.
Well, not this year as they've already sold out of the 12 bottles they made. And it's a healthy brew – an ale they call "The End of History" – a little Francis Fukuyama joke.
At 55% alcohol and $765 it isn't cheap nor is it for the faint of heart. As the company says, it should be treated "more like a whiskey" than a beer.
As for what would appeal to the PETA member?
Well, the recycling of roadkill as a cover for the bottle, of course.

It reminds me of one of my favorite books iof all time – 101 things you can do with a dead cat.

The Culture War
I know that there are those among you who do not like harsh rhetoric. Heck, one of my most recent posts was about the militaristic rhetoric of the president. Yet, sometimes we need to take a look around at what's happening and realize that something like a culture war is truly raging.
There was no clearer demonstration of this fact than the HHS mandate regarding health insurance coverage of abortificants, contraception, sterilization, and other grave evils. The impact of this ruling has been stunning. Not only has the decision outraged conservative Catholics, but even erstwhile left-wing Catholic defenders of the president have taken this decision to be the last straw. Bishops, often reticent to enter the political fray, have issued clear condemnations of this decision, even suggesting that Catholics engage in civil disobedience. The mild-mannered visiting priest at our parish offered a blistering homily, discussing how this mandate violates the very principles that this country was founded upon. Like the ents awakening from their slumber, Saruman and his orcs – meaning President Obama and his allies – have awakened a sleeping giant.
But our anger is not enough, nor are our prayers. Patrick Archbold puts it all in perspective today.
As I said, this is just the latest battle, but it's one we must win. We can't win the war here, but we can lose it. And to win a war you don't just need chaplains, you need generals.
In the wake of the Obama Administration's decision to force contraceptives on Catholic institutions many Bishops have been calling for prayer and fasting, and that is right and just. But when faced with an existential threat, you don't just pray the Nazis away, you have to fight on all fronts.
It is fine to pray that the Nazis will stop being Nazis, but it is also right and just to pray for good aim.
Our Bishops need to realize what is at stake here and act accordingly. Many Bishops have already written letters and made videos condemning the unconstitutional actions of the administration. That is good, but more is required. Open and vocal defiance is required. The Most Reverend Joe S. Vásquez, Bishop of Austin issued a letter this Sunday in which he proclaimed "We cannot—we will not—comply with this unjust law. People of faith cannot be made second-class citizens." That is a good start. Every Bishop needs to do the same. It must be made clear that we WILL NOT COMPLY.
Yet even more will be required. Some have called for very visible civil disobedience by the Bishops to the point of getting arrested. I think this may be a good idea. Yet even more. Kathleen Sebelius is at the spear point of this war on our Church promoting and now forcing abortion and contraception at every turn. If the scandal caused by this "Catholic" woman does not merit excommunication, the remedy is meaningless. Any Catholic who is complicit in this war must be held to account, publicly. This is a war.
We will not comply. We should never have to choose between being a Catholic and being an American. This is an existential threat for the Church in this country as well as for the life of the country as a whole. If we are to win the war, we must win this battle and we need generals willing to fight to the last.
If you are not convinced that we are in the midst of an all out assault on religious values, here's another story to consider.
Demonstrators from the Occupy Wall Street movement threw condoms on Catholic schoolgirls, refused to allow a Catholic priest to give a closing prayer, and shouted down a pro-life speaker at a Rhode Island right to life rally on Thursday, according to its organizer. The event marked the third time protesters associated with the movement have disrupted a pro-life meeting in a week.
About two-dozen members of Occupy Providence hiked from Burnside Park to the 39th Annual Pro-Life State House Rally organized by the Rhode Island State Right to Life Committee on Thursday.
The pro-life organization's executive director, Barth E. Bracy, told LifeSiteNews.com that, near the end of the rally, the Occupiers "strategically fanned out with military precision."
That's when they "started showering condoms down on some of the girls from a Catholic high school."
They threw condoms on Catholic school girls. This is what passes for civilized debate for a portion of our country. Not only do they contemn religious values, these individuals have absolutely no regard for the human beings on the other end of their temper tantrum.
And this is not a mere partisan issue. Look at the comments on the National Review Article about Chris Christie's appointment of a gay marriage advocate to the New Jersey Supreme Court. Take a gander at some of the vitriolic rhetoric being spewed against proponents of traditional morality. And many of those commenters are people who consider themselves to be right of center. Here's somebody calling himself "FAR52" laying down some logic.
My guess is that Christie will be defiant and call out homophobes like Maggie for what they are — hopelessly stuck in the past.
Who can argue with such well-examined reasoning?
One of the unfortunate lessons of this primary season is that there exists, even within the conservative movement, people who are either contemptuous of or who fear those of us who stand up for traditional morality. They see us as proponents of big government on the right. What they fail to appreciate is that conservatives are often fighting a rearguard action. We're the ones trying to prevent government interference. We're not looking for more government intervention in our daily lives, because often that intervention is done to the detriment of traditional values. The last thing we need is more government interference, and yet we are painted with the brush of being advocates of expanded government in social affairs. In almost all cases, the opposite is true. We're continually fighting various encroachments against religious liberty, and the HHS case is but the latest example.
This is not about elections, at least not primarily. This is about preserving our cultural heritage. This is about fighting for the religious liberties that are the absolute bedrock of our civil society. Truly, enough is enough.

I am beyond anger. I do not write what I am thinking and feeling, and what I say to myself. I perhaps need to go to Confession again because the Bible says, "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay."
History says that our opponents will imprison and murder us. Jesus said that as well. This will not end without bloodshed. It took a Civil War to free the slaves. 🙁
And yes, I think Obama is going to win in November. Then all hell will break loose.
Hell has already broken loose. It's pouring through the breach right now and the forces of good are retreating to the keep for the final stand. We've given ground and given ground and now we're down to this. We either stand and fight or we perish. If we do manage to win, even a small victory, we need to press any advantage we may have. We're all in now – compromise is no longer possible.
Please God, make your Church understand this.
The political battle must be joined as well.
October of every year is Respect Life Month, yet in October 2008 where were the bishops speaking out against Barack Obama? How could they not act, during the last month of the campaign? This man not only voted against, but fought against, a Born Alive Protection Act. Why did they not make clear the absolute moral obligation of voting for life, rather than voting for 'making history'? The extreme pro-abortion agenda of this man was clear to see, yet it did not raise an organized message.
It is almost as if they are willing to look the other way, as long as the threat is at arms length. Now the horror is upon their doorstep, and if they do not resist this they can not hide.
Has changed its focus from 99 / 1 to what ? Or is it Occupy Providence astray in Rhode Island?
Jesus said unclean spirits fear Him in Mark's Gospel this past Sunday – yesterday seems so long ago. Pastor said if we allow evil, it will enter us. Prayer and some kind of fasting will give us strength.
I was visiting relatives in Charlotte this past weekend and we went to St Ann's Catholic Church. The pastor there openly speaks against the 'norms' of our culture and how we as Catholics must oppose the changes that are anti-thetical to our beliefs. I wish this priest was merely a common priest, and not the rarity.
Also, is Suramain = Sarumon? Or is Suramain a reference to the Silmarillion?
I think its interesting that of the two colleges that have filed lawsuits against the federal government because of this regulation, one is a protestant college. Its not just contraception, but also abortion and sterilizations that are forced on us because of this regulation. Its not just Catholics who should rise up, but all Christians.
Unfortunately, this train left the station 40 years ago and the Catholic bishops (not to mention the entire Protestant "church") weren't on it. Now they're trying to rally an army that no longer exists.
I wonder where Stupak is on this? Didn'tin fact sign on to the passsing of this bill with the assurance that this owuld not happen? If he had a conscience he would make waves about the backtracking against his positon. No but that is the past – all forgotten now isn't it? Crazy world we live in…
"…I think that the secularists who are now riding high may be about to experience a demographically based rude awakening in the decades to come. The bigots who currently hold power can and will be defeated."
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, please make Donald McClarey's prediction come to pass and become prophecy fulfilled. Thank you. Amen!
PZ: Ace is agnostic?
Ace and some commenters appear to be more Catholic than the USCCB.
I agree with a commenter that this may be a ploy to distract attention from Obama policies' resultant economic ruin.
Hmm, doesn't the President support the Soros led Occupista movement?
History doesn't always repeat itself, but it does sometimes rhyme. Does any of this seem eerily similar to Spain before the civil war?
"I agree with a commenter that this may be a ploy to distract attention from Obama policies' resultant economic ruin."
I'm thinking that too. The Obama administration WANTS to dwell on social conservative issues – because they think the American public has become so depraved they'll win that battle and take the focus off of economic issues. When I consider that Obama got elected in 2008 (with the votes of many Catholics) despite his cold-hearted support of babies being left on tables to die, I fear he is correct.
Obama has declared war on God. The infant in the womb is there through the will of God. Obama cannot kill God. Obama kills God's children. All civil rights cases are paid for by the taxpayer. Shouting down a speaker is denying him his freedom to speak. Showering down condoms on prolife girls is abuse and insulting. Their parents must demand an apology from these brutes. tar and feathers. Thery are devils in people clothing.
I second you, Donald. Jerry, no Empire, no Power on Earth ever attacked the Catholic Church frontal and survived. America has pressed the Self-Destruct Button. True, your Bishops, like all Bishops in our Universal Catholic Church may seem to take time to wake up. But, believe me, Jerry, when the Holy Spirit wakes up He never leaves the adversaries of Christ's Church standing – not a single one. Be brave, American Catholics, the entire Catholic Church on Earth and in Heaven are fighting with you. Obama has poked his finger in God's Nose. He is "History" and America along with him unless you elect a God-fearing President.
P.S Jerry please take note of the Holy Father's warning to your country. That is the Voice of Jesus Christ Himself telling your Obama he is persecuting Him.
The US Bishops are readying to refuse to comply with ObamaCare laws that mandate paying for services that are a violation their religion. As spiritual fathers, they find it unconstitutional to be forced to pay for something that is immoral, according to their own religion.
Why don't the same Bishops come to the defense of natural fathers who have been forced to pay for something that is immoral?
In no-fault divorce, millions of innocent reliable fathers and husband have been forced to pay for being immorally removed from their own children' lives. Fathers are forced to pay state agents, such as guardian ad litems, court psychologist, and court fees. Their wages are garnished to support their children and wife in a separate household in which they are, for no moral reason, forbidden to live.
I hope the Bishops' ultimatum is not too little to late. For nearly forty years, the government has been forcing reliable Catholic spouses to pay for something that is immoral. So why wouldn't the government expect the same coercion to go unchallenged by the institutional Church.

Far Cry 3 is an open-world shooter through and through. The setup is simple: You're set loose on a massive island and tasked with gradually conquering it, one dead pirate/tiger/shark at a time. Here's a gun. Have fun. There's also a story you can play through, though the distinction between the "story parts" of the game and the "non-story parts" is an important one: It's in the balance between the two that Far Cry 3 finds success.
The game casts you as Jason Brody, a twentysomething layabout whose drunken island vacation is interrupted by pirates (the scary modern-day kind). They kidnap him, his brothers, and his friends, and set to ransom them and sell them into slavery. The story parts are a long series of mostly linear, welcomely varied adventures Jason undertakes in service of this rescue/revenge plot. The non-story parts, on the other hand, are the emergent action that happens all over the island between missions. As with many of the best open-world games, the story parts are fun, but the non-story parts are what make Far Cry 3 special.

Ok, so I'm making a She-Ra costume, and I want to make the gold details on her dress, the tiara and the gauntlets as armour rather than from fabric. I've seen a few different versions made from wonderflex, styrene and foam, and I've also heard a bit about worbla as well. The thing is, this will be my first attempt at making armour and I'm not really sure of the pros and cons of each material.
I'm looking for a bit of guidance on each material - what is it good for, what shouldn't it be used for, how strong is it, how flexible is it, is it light or heavy, is it easy to work with, how much does it cost on average, where can I get it from etc?
I'm going to making a few other props/armour bits for 2015 cosplays as well - 3 swords, Lan-fan's armour (FMA Brotherhood), a gun - so general info/guidance about each material rather than just what would be best for She-Ra would be really massively appreciated and will be rewarded with virtual cookies .
Thanks loads!

I don't have a ton of experience, but here's my thoughts:
Foam - probably your cheapest option.
- Very light, very flexible.
- Good for things that need to be light and flexible - from what I've seen it's also good for a leather effect if that's what you're after!
- Bad for small intricate things, things with a small intricate design, and things that will be under a lot of stress or wear (I personally wouldn't use it for shoes/foot armour, or something that would bend when you wear it).
- Easy enough to work with, though I find the thicker the foam you use, the more difficult it is to get a smooth cut with regular tools.
- It's cheap - you can get regular craft foam from places like Hobby Craft, Wilkinsons, etc., and you can use things like camping/yoga mats.
- I'd recommend Plastazote - it's a lot tougher than regular craft foam. I used the 1mm thickness stuff for Daenerys' Qarth accessories and it kept a much better shape around the body and was a lot more durable than the craft foam draft I made. I'm not sure where you would get plastazote from - I got it from coscraft.co.uk, but they don't appear to sell it anymore. I'd check eBay or have a Google.
Worbla - probably the most expensive option.
- Worbla is very versatile and very easy to use (I find it easier than foam tbh!), and any scraps that are left over can be re-used so there's no waste. If you make a mistake, just heat it up again and it's easily fixed.
- It holds its shape very well, adheres to itself so you don't need glue, and it's very durable (you can drop it, throw it, bash it, and it's likely the paintwork will be all that shows for it).
- It is best for things you need to be solid and durable, so footwear definitely. Anything that will be under a lot of wear or stress. Great for armour that needs to look solid, great for imitating metal with the right paint job. I personally think it makes more realistic armour than foam.
- Bad for...I'm struggling to think!
The weight depends on how you use it. For tough, solid armour, most people use a piece of foam sandwiched between two pieces of worbla, which obviously makes it a bit heavier. If you do this, I wouldn't use it as say an adornment on delicate fabric as it will just weight it down. If you have lots of layers of worbla/foam, it will start to get quite heavy. However, you can just use one piece and it will be quite light.
- You can get it from Coscraft.co.uk - it costs £5 for an A4 sheet, £16.50 for a medium sized sheet and £30.50 for the largest sheet. It is so worth the expense though.
Wonderflex is very similar worbla, but more difficult to get a hold of and a bit more difficult to use. You can't really melt it down to reuse like worbla, and one side has like a mesh texture to it. I'd choose worbla over wonderflex.
I don't have any experience with Styrene, sadly!
For She-Ra, I'd use foam (I'd recommend plastazote, especially for the body piece). I think Worbla may look/work a little better, but for the price difference between them, foam is probably the more cost-effective way to go! You do need to seal foam before you use it - I've heard of different things being used, from PVA to plastidip to gesso. I've heard that gesso is the way to go for worbla too (not got to that stage yet myself!), as the non-glue side has a rough texture to it.
If you do use worbla, for She-Ra I think you can get away with just using one layer.
For armour, definitely Worbla. For weapons (swords/staffs)...use expanding form. Kamui has great info on using it, definitely check her out for Worbla work too. You need something as the base (even if you just use a plastic/wooden rod for support and use cardboard for the basic shape. You can use worbla over the expanding foam to make it more solid, but using paper mache can work just as effectively (though it will obviously not be as durable.
Think about how long you want the stuff to last for and how much stress it will go through, even in your suitcase. Also think about suitcase space. Obviously, foam can be squashed down, but worbla cannot (although you can pack the inside of worbla armour with other things in your case!).
Check out this tutorial - I think it would be useful for She-Ra! The helmet shape is very similar to her headdress. http://entropyhouse.com/penwiper/costumes/helmsdeep.html

I can only comment on foam (the sheets from craft shops kind) and say it is an awesome material for leather look. The only other thing is - don't line it with cotton gauze unless you only intend to seal it once or twice with PVA.
My Sif armour cracked a million times after I took it off, and in retrospect I would have been better off sealing the foam with PVA glue and not stiffening it. (It simply wasn't flexible enough for large areas like leg armour.)
As for the finish, I used Halford's red car paint and lacquer sprays. Because of the PVA sealing, it created a vintage leather look that looked really good in person.
Edit: Having looked at the costume, I'd say you'd be best trying Rub n Buff for a metallic look. Didn't get chance to try on foam but worth a look in.

I can't really offer much advice but I figured it was worth chipping in - Cosplex recently cosplayed She-Ra and used veg-tan leather for her costume details - here's an example!
I'm sure she posted on her page with some links to tutorials she used and advice incase you wanted to try the same technique

Study Design: The current study of 251 consecutive 1-level anterior cervical reconstructions was undertaken to compare the incidence of dysphagia between cervical disk replacement and conventional anterior cervical fusion and instrumentation.
Objectives: This is a report of 251 patients from 5 investigational centers in the Food and drug Administration's prospective, randomized porous-coated motion (PCM) trial using a validated dysphagia outcomes instrument. The dysphagia data for both PCM and anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) patients were reviewed from 5 centers to (1) compare the severity of dysphagia, (2) compare the postoperative incidence of dysphagia, and (3) to compare the resolution of perioperative dysphagia.
Summary of Background Data: Dysphagia and dysphonia after anterior surgical approaches to the cervical spine have been previously reported. The current prospective, randomized investigation quantifies clinical dysphagia based on 3 criteria-severity, incidence, and resolution—in a time-course evaluation.
Methods: Patients between 18 and 65 years with 1-level symptomatic cervical radiculopathy and/or myelopathy for progressive neurologic symptoms, were randomized to undergo anterior decompression and PCM arthroplasty (N=151) or ACDF (control) (N=100). Patients self-reported dysphagia severity using the Bazaz scale preoperatively and at follow-up. The Bazaz scale has 4 classes of severity based upon the problems with swallowing that the patient has with both liquids and solids.
Results: The Bazaz results demonstrate that although both the PCM and ACDF groups exhibited an initial postoperative problem with swallowing, the PCM group continued to improve with increasing time after implantation, whereas the ACDF only improved minimally. The PCM treatments indicated significantly lower incidence of dysphagia at 3 and 12 months postoperatively compared with ACDF controls (P<0.05). An increase in dysphagia severity at either the 6-week or 3-month follow-up visit was reported in 35 (42%) PCM and 29 (64%) ACDF subjects. Long-term resolution of these symptoms was noted in 74% (26/35) of the PCM subjects as compared with 41.4% (12/29) of the ACDF subjects (P=0.015).
Conclusions: In a prospective randomized clinical study the incidence of postoperative dysphagia and the long-term resolution of the dysphagia was greatly improved in the PCM group compared with the instrumented ACDF control group.

PHI: I. Bryzgalov (W)
NJD: M. Brodeur (L)
Laviolette // Bryzgalov // Read // Simmonds
A LONG TIME COMINGIlya Bryzgalov didn't think about the Flyers last shutout.
He didn't let it enter his mind that it had been over a full year and a half since the Flyers held their opponent scoreless through all 60 minutes of play in the regular season.
Knowing that a goal can happen at any time during the game regardless of the scoreboard, his teammates didn't remind him that he had turned aside all 19 shots the Devils threw at him because with a face off in the offensive zone with 20 seconds left on the clock, they knew one more shot was possibly coming… and it did.
Bryzgalov stopped it and the other 19 to earn the shutout and more importantly the victory for the Flyers and give them a 2-0-0 record right out of the gates.
"I can't say enough," said Bryzgalov of the team's defense in front of him. "It was about the whole team work ethic. They just played unbelieveable and they worked extremely hard."
Not to be overshadowed but some other Flyers newcomers broke out of their shell tonight and had standout performances of their own.
Rookie forward Matt Read tallied his first NHL goal to give the Flyers a 2-0 lead and was used by Peter Laviolette in all situations.
Wayne Simmonds was equally impressive. Simmonds earned a hard fought goal by parking himself in front of the net and banging home a rebound for his first as a Flyer.
A short while later, he was challenged by Devils tough-guy David Clarkson to drop the gloves, but in the end it was Simmonds who dropped him to the ice.
The Flyers have now started the season 2-0-0 for the 14th time in team history and will look to expand on that as they open the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday with another tough test – the defending Western Conference Champion Vancouver Canucks.
|• Ilya Bryzgalov recorded his first shutout as a Flyer. It was the Flyers' first regular season shutout since April 6, 2010 when Brian Boucher blanked Toronto 2-0.
• The Flyers are 2-0 for the 14th time in their history. The last time was 2009-10.
• Andrej Meszaros led the Flyers with five shots tonight. He had another two blocked and one that missed.
• The Flyers led the Devils 47-31 in terms of total shots at the net (SOG + attempts blocked + missed shots).
• The Flyers had three firsts tonight – Matt Read with his first NHL goal, Wayne Simmonds with his first Flyers goal and Ilya Bryzgalov with his first Flyers shutout.
• Sean Couturier played 4:05 on the penalty kill tonight, second-most among Flyers forwards.
|"I think collectively we did a good job as a whole and played good team defense. We all back-checked hard and we all took care of what we had to do."
-- Wayne Simmonds
"The room has been great. From Day one it seems. There's still a long way to go with developing that chemistry and camaraderie. There's still a long way to go with the game itself… tonight was more of what I was looking for with regard to faster and tighter checking."
-- Peter Laviolette
"There's a lot of new faces in this locker room, and it's a great organization and locker room to be in. I couldn't be happier with the first couple of games and bonding with my teammates, you're kind of nervous, but these guys make it easy so it's fun."
-- Matt Read
|Tonight's star is indisputable. Ilya Bryzgalov earned the Flyers a shutout victory for the first time since April of 2010.
Bryzgalov turned aside all 20 shots he faced for his second victory as a Flyer. Bryz has now stopped 42 of 43 shots in his first two games and has not allowed a goal in over five periods of play.
The turning point in tonight's game came in the last seconds of the second period.
Having outshot the Devils by a good margin in the first period, the Devils started to circle the net to even the score at 1-1, but as he was all night, Bryzgalov was up to the task and denied Parise with a great post-to-post save with six seconds left on the clock.
The Flyers would head into the dressing room with a 1-0 lead and two quick strikes early in the third period padded a lead the Flyers would not give up.
|PIC OF THE NIGHT: Matt Read displays his first NHL goal puck after the Flyers win.
Flyers 3, Devils 0
Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - The new-look Philadelphia Flyers have started the season with a pair of solid victories on the road.
They hope the momentum continues Wednesday for the home opener against the Vancouver Canucks.
Ilya Bryzgalov, the former All-Star brought to Philadelphia to cure one of the league's shakiest goaltending situations, made 20 saves as the Flyers spoiled New Jersey Devils season opener with a 3-0 victory on Saturday night.
The Flyers launched the season on Thursday with a 2-1 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins in Boston. Philadelphia improved to 2-0 with the victory at the Prudential Center.
"I can't say enough about the whole team work ethic," Bryzgalov said. "Everybody's doing their part. It's been amazing."
Claude Giroux, Matt Read and Wayne Simmonds provided the goals to support Bryzgalov, among the Flyers' major offseason signings. It was his 24th career shutout and improved his record against New Jersey to 2-1-0.

Despite of loud talks about high-performance GeForce and Radeon graphics cards by their respective developers, the market of add-in graphics adapters was down both sequentially and annually in the fourth quarter of 2006. Even though there are logical explanations concerning the sales slash, the market of add-in-cards still seems to have hard times.
Recently released figures by Jon Peddie Research indicate that graphics add-in-board (AIB) vendors shipped approximately 21.1 million units in Q4 2006, accounting for roughly $4.5 billion in revenue. Unit shipments were down 2.9% sequentially and down 5.7% year-to-year. Moreover, average selling prices (ASPs) and revenue were down even more substantially: total AIB revenue was down 9.6% sequentially and 15.1% year-to-year.
In the prior quarter vendors of add-in cards faced increase in demand towards units (21.8 million were shipped), but decrease in ASPs and revenues. It is an alarming sign that even with pre-Christmas sales both revenues and prices dropped once again, especially in the light of the fact that Nvidia introduced a brand-new family – the GeForce 8800 – of high-end products, which were available for $500 - $650 in the retail.
According to Jon Peddie Research, the lower-than-expected demand towards standalone graphics cards was conditioned by release of Intel's new integrated offerings, which were good-enough even for those who would prefer add-in-board several years ago.
Despite ending the year 2006 "on a sour note", the big two graphics processors developers have reasons to be optimistic in 2007, thanks to Microsoft's Windows Vista, according to the research firm. Windows Vista was fully released in January, and while Vista is not the obvious upgrade that XP was over Windows 98, most buyers of new PCs will choose

For the 24th time, Clovis will play host to the New Mexico Golden Gloves boxing championships as the three-day event begins with bouts tonight at Roy Walker Community Center.
Those who end up victorious in the various weight classes on Sunday not only will have earned bragging rights for the weekend but will then find themselves only one more step from the national Golden Gloves competition in Mesquite, Nev.
The winners will represent New Mexico in a state-to-state duel against Colorado boxers on April 14 in Albuquerque and the survivors of those fights have the right to go to Nevada for nationals beginning on April 30.
George Sena, coach for the Clovis boxers, is trying to think local for now.
"I don't know what anybody else has — the Las Cruces boxers, who's gonna show up here, how many — we just don't know yet," Sena said. "But our team looks good.
"I think, for the two hours that you might have spent at a movie, you get your money's worth.
Clovis' pugilists include twin brothers Gerardo and Gilberto Torres, who will fight respectively at 132 and 141 pounds, while local fighter Jesus Sais will battle at 152 pounds.
At the heavyweight division, reigning state Golden Gloves champ Rico Urquizo, also from Clovis, will try to retain his title and at least one of his challengers, Charles Stamps, is stationed at Cannon Air Force Base.
Meanwhile Sena's son, Elijio Sena, will invade the ring in the superheavyweight division.
"I think all of them are going to fight very good," George Sena said. "They're all in good shape and very well-trained."
The unpredictability of Golden Gloves boxing might best be illustrated by another fighter stationed at Cannon. Even Sena isn't quite sure what Antone Oliver can do at 165 pounds this weekend.
"He looks like a world-beater," Sena said. "If you saw him, you'd think he had 60 or 70 fights. It's hard to believe he hasn't had one (official) fight yet.
"With boxing, it's mostly about the will to win," he added.
What: New Mexico Golden Gloves boxing tournament
When: 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 1 p.m. Sunday,
Where: Roy Walker Community Center
Admission: $10 for adults, $5 for students

Statement By Attorney General Eliot Spitzer Regarding Televised Coverage Of The Diallo Case
After moving before Judge Teresi for television coverage of the Diallo trial, Court TV and the other media parties notified the Office of the Attorney General pursuant to Section 71 of the Executive Law of their challenge to the constitutionality of Section 52 of the Civil Rights Law, which bans cameras in the courtroom. The Office of the Attorney General declined to intervene at this early stage of the proceedings to defend the constitutionality of the state statute, consistent with the Office's general practice not to intervene at the trial court level, and instead to await presentation of the issues by interested parties to the appellate courts.
Following Judge Teresi's decision striking down Section 52 as unconstitutional and permitting cameras in the courtroom during the trial of the four police officers, both the prosecution and the defense have chosen not to appeal. Because Judge Teresi's decision is binding only in this case, the Office of the Attorney General will not intervene in this particular matter for purposes of appealing the decision in place of the parties, none of whom has argued that television coverage would impair the integrity of the trial.
The Attorney General will, however, consider intervening in future cases that are brought by interested parties to the appellate courts in order to defend the constitutionality of the state statute. This is consistent with Attorney General Spitzer's view that the legislative choice to ban cameras in the courtroom, although undesirable as a policy matter, is constitutional.

Learn. Inspire. Make a difference.
Master Recyclers learn from the experts then share in their own communities. Our story →
Oregonians are about to have double the reason to recycle beverage containers. Starting April 1, 2017 consumers will get 10 cents for each beverage container they recycle at a return center — the first increase in the Oregon Bottle Bill's 45-year history.
Practicing a little maintenance and fixing problems, before the rainy season sets in, can lengthen the life of the materials that make up your home.
More natural resources are contained in buildings than in the products that we use day-to-day. Wood, iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, chemicals, plastic, cement and lime and glass are the building blocks of our homes. And it burns a lot of natural gas, oil and coal to manufacture these materials.
Maximize these last few weeks of great weather to do a little good around your home.
Master Recycler recognized in Washington DC
Master Recycler Allen Liff (Class 61) created this fun quiz so folks can learn what they know (and don't know) and how to get more information.
We have an important unsung hero helping our region fight climate change and turn food scraps into a renewable resource: Bacteria!
You know the recycling basics: paper, plastic and metal together in the cart; glass on the side. But some items just don't seem to fit nicely in those categories. Recyclers count on us to send them clean materials so they can turn them back into new products.
So getting it right is important.
Antique glass doorknobs, wood framing from long-gone old growth forests, basket weave bathroom tiles, and inlaid hardwood floors are all beloved touches in old homes. Instead of stripping our forests and land for natural resources to decorate and build our new homes, we can harvest local reuse places like the ReBuilding Center, Restore and Salvage Works. They are already wonderful places to find hidden treasures, but they will soon be teaming with history!
Styrofoam trays, stinky milk cartons and picky eaters are just a few of the special challenges of tackling waste in cafeterias.
In our region, principals, teachers, parents, PTA's, Master Recyclers and even students organize green teams, monitor cans, create durable party kits, sell sustainable products for fundraisers and even rinse out milk cartons. These projects are conserving natural resources in the tons.
Most of the sorting of waste doesn't happen out on the curb. It happens in our kitchens, bedrooms, family rooms, home offices and restrooms. Create easy ways to separate waste right where it is generated in the house and increase the chance that things get to the right cart and ultimately to their correct destination.
Do you have a favorite repair shop? You know, somewhere you go because you actually trust them with your stuff? I do! Well, I have several...
How does natural resources, equity and money have anything to do with school supplies? Master Recyclers have been asking the tough questions.
Many Master Recyclers wrote and called this month wanting a response to the op-ed piece in the New York Times that claims that recycling is a waste of time. I shared a number of links that I also posted on Facebook. However, I wasn't going to write a newsletter article myself. My inclination is to ignore these inflammatory stories, because I think we all know that there is value in recycling when it is done right. Ninety-five percent of people in the metro area consider themselves recyclers. We feel that it's the right thing to do. Don't give the guy who wrote the piece more attention than deserved.
But then I was thinking that this was an opportunity to talk about how great recycling is here in our state—and how we can make it even better.
It isn't easy to make safe and healthy choices with plastic. The numbers included on the labeling only identifies the main resin in a package for food. There may be any amount of unnamed chemicals added to resins to make plastic products. Furthermore, there is a lot that is not known or fully tested about each resin.
Ideas and recipes to minimize the toxic cocktail found in our body products.
Master Recyclers recently responded to a survey about what information would be most useful and one of the top answers was a regular refresh on the basics. So for this month, we are revisiting the top 17 questions we get asked just about every time we set up an information booth on recycling. Take the test. See how you do!!

The SEC Championship game is just days away with the Alabama Crimson Tide taking on the Georgia Bulldogs at 4 p.m. ET on CBS this Saturday.
The showdown in Atlanta will match two impressive defenses, but the story of the day will be offense for these two schools. Both the Tide and Bulldogs have put together formidable offenses that rely on the proficiency of their quarterbacks and a consistent ground game.
Expect an offensive-heavy game when these two teams square off. It may sound odd to say that this game will be won by offense, but these five keys show why points will be abundant on Saturday.

I'm pretty sure that there is enough advice out there for everyone to determine their pre-draft rankings. So I'm not gonna help you with that. Plus none of that advice ever takes into account the crazy rules your commissioner is devoted to shoving down your throat.
Also, I'm sure you've already figured out where you want to go with those last, few, almost meaningless picks as well, because someone tipped you to a great sleeper. How many of those sleepers worked out last season, anyway?
What you don't see is advice to help you find that one waiver wire pick up to get you through the season and to the playoffs.
Here are ten players who are likely to be undrafted, but could find their way to the playing field and put up good fantasy numbers. Or maybe even become the next Mile Austin!

First you need to divide the domain into two bits to get rid of that pesky "absolute value" bit.
When x > 0, abs x = x.
When x < 0, abs x = -x.
So first differentiate for positive and then do the same but minus it for negative . You'll get two expressions that you can combine by using the abs function as suggested in the answer you're directed towards.

If you have a square based box, its length and width are equal - call this length . Call the height .
Then and .
You're told that the Volume is .
Therefore the surface area can be written as
For this first one I tried to find a formula that I could relate to volume and surface area. Needless to say I didn't get very far..
I pretty much got stuck at the Surface Area Formula for rectangles: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.
Help would be awesome.
I was pretty unsure of where to start for this one. I tried some stuff but got nowhere.
I'd really appreciate a helping hand, I have my first test coming up and I can't grasp this stuff.
Word problems have always been my Achilles heel.
In order to write a function for the area of a rectangle, you need its length and width. So far you only have the width ( ).
If you split the rectangle in half, you will have two smaller rectangles, with width = and diagonal = (the radius of the circle is the same length as the diagonal).
So by Pythagoras:
If you double this, you have the length of the rectangle.
Thanks a lot for the help.
I understand everything.
One thing though, on the first problem.
How did we arrive at these formulas?
and .
I searched around the web for volume and surface area formulas like these but didn't discover any.
Also I was a bit stuck on this one too, if you or somebody could help i'd be thankful!
The part on the top right says "fence a garden plot"
You should have two rectangles of dimensions and four rectangles of dimensions .
So what is its surface area?
For the volume, we have a prism.
The Volume of a prism is , where is the cross-sectional area (in this case, the square base) and is the depth (or height).
To answer your next question:
Call the width of your rectangle (or any other letter).
So the cost is
Can you see why?
You are also told that the area is .
Substituting back into the cost equation you get
To minimise the cost, differentiate the cost function, set equal to 0 and solve for .
Setting equal to 0:
(we can disregard the negative answer because you can't have a negative length).
To check that this IS a minimum, differentiate again, and check that it is positive at .
Clearly this will be positive for any positive . So you do indeed have a minimum at .
So the dimensions are:
Now substitute these values into the cost function and see if you can afford it.
You are a saint, Prove It.
For the first one. I don't see where 4 rectangles (x*h) and 2 (x*x) come from.
Isn't this how the diagram should look?
Theres a rectangular box with a volume of 60ft^3. Below it is a square base.
We set the sides of the square base to X since they are the same.
If we split the rectangle (as I did in the diagram with a thin brush) we can break it up into smaller pieces, but why 4?
I think i'm pretty confused about the diagram and where all the rectangles come from.
Reading the problem implies that there is only a rectangle and a square base, as my diagram shows.
Where do the
Ok for this part on the 3rd problem, it's 5x (the cost per foot of fencing adjacent to the street (x)) then + 3(x + 2y). This specifies that the 3x is conditional (every side that's not next to the street) but I don't see exactly how.Call the width of your rectangle y{ft} (or any other letter).
So the cost is
C = 5x + 3(x + 2y).
Can you see why?
It would make sense that the 2y is cause we have two y sides (width) that need to be accounted for.

Where do you get this GREEN ADVANTAGE flyer? I don't recall ever seeing one here in SC, or getting one by mail.
Also, are these prices you're showing going to be available in the stores on those dates? My stock up for Formula 409 is the 2/$4 price, but I didn't see it in the current ad.
these flyers will be available in the store where regular weekly ads are kept or if not there then u can ask customer service for these .
It starts on Saturday 1/19.
They should be in the turnstile at the front door or at customer service. Sale start Saturday. You will be able to get the actual ad that day.
EAS Lean 15 bars .99 in flyer
There is a $1/1 EAS Lean 15 product in the 1/6 SS, making it free…
There is a $1/1 EAS Sports Nutrition item Target Store coupon on Target.com, making it a MM 🙂
My husband loves these!
Is this for the flyer that expires on the 18th?
It is for the green flyer that expires on Feb 8th (on the last page).
Feb. 9
Thank you so much for mentioning this!!! What an awesome deal!
Thank you, everyone!!
Is the Cottonelle PQ valid only on the 6ct? Or can it be used on the 12ct? If so, combined with the .50/1 that would be a good price for TP!
I see the Infusium 23 shampoo listed, but there is no price next to it… Can you advise what the sell price will be.. Thank you.
Does anybody know which stores in the Birmingham area carry Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm? I LOVE it, but I know I haven't seen it at my usual store. I'd love to get a chance to stock up since they will be cheap with those coupons!
Does anyone know the price on the alli weight loss starter kit?
I'm pretty sure the coupons are for the refills, which should be cheaper than the starter kit.. I believe the cheapest starter kits are 25.00, could be wrong and I'm curious too if anyone knows for sure.
Has anyone tried to print Kleenex 50cents coupon it is printing with expired date. Is anyone else having that problem.
Would anyone happen to know the price of Scott Naturals Flushable Wipes 51 .ct?
Many Thanks,

can someone suggest an ultrafast emulsion for plastisol
my flo light source sucks, I know, but thats where I am today...
I've tried several Kiwos, Autosol 9000,and can't seem to break the 10:00min barrier
I'm using vellum...my best results have been with Kiwo poly plus S (137 m white) around10-12 min
cant fit a faster exposure unit into the budget today so I thought I'd try to find faster Emulsion
Hi Dave,
You need something like this.
KIWO POLYCOL: SBQ-Photopolymer Direct Emulsions
POLYCOL NeXT HQ9
POLYCOL NeXT HQ9 is one of the few SBQ products available offering both water & solvent resistance. POLYCOL NeXT HQ9 is suitable for nearly every ink system and offers the advantages of all POLYCOL emulsions: one component, easy reclaiming and fast exposure times compared to diazo systems.
POLYCOL NeXT SX7
This technically advanced formulation offers terrific performance in graphic and textile applications. High resolution, sharp edge definition, and wide exposure latitude make NeXT SX7 the perfect choice for shops that print on a wide variety of substrates and utilize many different kinds of inks.
If these don't give you a faster exposure, then you will have to invest in a better light source.
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Peter Duff.
I have sampled the sx7,it gave great resolution and reclaimed very easily,but the exposure time was not very much faster than the poly plus,and the cost is higher,right? sounds like I'm right back where I started..mmmm
Hi Dave,
Please describe your "flo" light source to us.
1 - Is it a stand alone commercial vacuum unit, with a light built into it, or is it a home made type exposure unit?
2 - Do you have an exposure calculator?
3 - What is your coating technique? (Do you know what your EOM is, or you're Emulsion over mesh ratio).
4 - What is your mesh brand; thread diameter, mesh tension, and colour of your mesh.
5 - Have you tried other types of pure Photopolymers from other emulsion manufactures? (Ulano, satti, chromaline etc.?
6- does your emulsion match the spectral out put of your light source?
7 - What is your exposure distance?
As you can see I need a bit more info on your shop conditions before I can pin point you problem.
I use KIWO poly-plus SWR emulsion. On a 155 meshes, 60 micron thread diameter, white colour, and plain weave, at 24 Newton's of tension, coated 2+3 with a coating thickness of 23 microns.
I have to expose the screen for 14 minutes with a 5000-Watt light source at a 76-inch distance. (We do a lot of large format printing, 40"x60" and up to 48"x126"}
Feel free to contact me at 1-204-632-6016 if you nee more help.
Best regards, Peter Duff.
hi Peter,
homemade unit with 18" flo lights (mostly white output)distance about 4"
I use a step calculator with halftones @ 32line
coating 2/2 with dull side of coater then scrape on shirt side,dry with shirt side down,indirect fan around 75 degrees , humidity ? not sure
mesh white 110-156 prestretched at about 24 n,
thread dia. not sure ,stencil thickness not exactly sure(really don't have the tools to measure all of these things)
the only SBQ's I have tried have been kiwo & autosol,have kind of come to the conclusion that my lights are not in the "ultraviolet" enough range of the spectrum to be fast...I can acheive a really good screen but it takes some time for a proper exposure,once a long time ago a rep gave me a sample of a really fast emulsion, like 3 min with a halogen lamp ,I just cant remember what it was,Ulano?? I've been using Kiwo polyplus s for about 10 yrs,with a 3k Amigraph,(this is a new job I am at now)..thanks for your input
Kiwo makes an excellent styrl basolum quaternary emulsion called TX5 that'll work fine for plastisol. Don't expect it to reclaim easily if you are using UV or solvent inks.
You NEED an exposure calculator to get times right, but with TX5 and a good 6000 watt metal halide lamp you can expect times around 15 seconds for a 390, about 20 seconds for a 355, about 30 seconds for a 305, 45 seconds for a 230, under a minute for a 156, and around a minute for a 110.
That's WAY under the "10 minute barrier".
There are a lot of things that affect exposure time - but you need a good light first. I use a NuArc lamp and it is very reliable. Kiwo makes the best emulsion in the business, if you TX5 or SX7 isn't fast enough for you then you need a new light.
I agree with you the best one part emulsion that can be used for all inks is NOVA if you need more information on this emulsion you can visit our web address if anyone need pricing feel free to reach us at the toll free number.

Ex-Credit Suisse banker joins TPG
A former London-based financial sponsors banker at Credit Suisse has joined buyout firm TPG Capital's credit business in London.
Adnan Khalef, who left Credit Suisse in October having spent three years at the bank, will work for TPG's distressed debt and special situations team, TPG Special Situations Partners, two people familiar with the matter said. The team makes investments in struggling businesses.
According to Khalef's LinkedIn page, he joined TPG in November. Credit Suisse confirmed the departure, and said Khalef had worked as an associate within its Leveraged Finance and Sponsors Group.
TPG declined to comment, however, according to a filing at Companies House, Khalef was appointed an LLP member at TPG on December 16. Khalef did not respond to requests for comment.
The hire comes as the private equity firm, like many of its large-cap US peers, looks to diversify beyond core traditional private equity deals.
The firm has raised a series of non-private equity funds in recent years, including a real estate fund and a credit fund targeting non-performing loans. It is reportedly raising a $2.65 billion global credit-focused fund.
Founded in 1992, the firm manages over $55.7 billion of capital under management, according to its website.

Today, my boyfriend and I were making love. I was really close to climaxing, when he suddenly stopped, smirked, and said, "Hang on, I'm buffering." FML

Brandon Ross has contributed greatly to the music of Henry Threadgill, Butch Morris, Cassandra Wilson and many others, but Costume (Intoxicate), his leader debut, offers a new and intimate view of his musicianship. Playing mainly acoustic guitar, Ross surrounds himself with acoustic-bass guitarist Stomu Takeishi and drummer J.T. Lewis, adding Graham Haynes' cornet, Gregoire Maret's harmonica, Shuni Tsou's dizi (Chinese flute) and Sadiq Bey's vocals along the way. "Another Approach" leads off, its calm 6/8 feel offset by Ross' twangy intensity. Ross plays two absorbing duets with Takeishi, "No Wonder" and "One Solar Year," and offers an astringent banjo take on Ornette Coleman's "Race Face." But Costume is more a panoply of textures than a virtuoso showcase. The three vocal numbers, "Peace Flows," "I Am the Light" (by the Reverend Gary Davis) and the traditional "Twelve Gates to the City," are accessible yet hauntingly unresolved. "Dry Lips" is an ocean of improvised space. And "Anthem for a New World," the closing trio ballad, is sheer beauty.
