Post subject: Camber
I've asked this question on another forum but would like more input from anyone who cares to make a stab at it. I always try to set my camber so I have even wear all across the front tires. Places we have ran at had guys that flew but only used about half their tire because of negative camber. How can I knock success but, it doesn't seem right to do it this way... any input? thanks

Personally I would set your camber at neutral, then adjust to what the chassis needs. Camber does effect the handling of the chassis from entry to mid corner.

if you needed help on turn in, add negative camber (possibly only to outside tire). at a big track, you may run neutral. at a small track (like b'ville) you may run a little negative on both sides or just RF. correcting a push would be more important to me than tire wear. you can always flip tires. on ovals, we run negative RF and positive LF and camber cut the tires. but camber can hurt rolling resistance (seems to me) so if there's a big straight, you have to decide if turn in is more important. it's always a give and take
camber is pretty easy to work with, it's castor that makes me have to sit down and think about it. hey john, wanna explain that? rusty clanton (from ovals) gave me a lesson in castor the other day, but i still don't know the senarios when to use and how much.

John, wouldn't ya want the maximum amount of tire in contact through a turn at all times by setting camber so the tire wear is even across the tire? in most cases? is there such a thing as too muchfront grip? some say so, i say no, but i have never driven a kart.

Picture says it all: I believe these are some of the fastest.
Can't see how camber would slow you on the straights but may some in corners, not sure on that just a guess. Toe in or out would be your enemy as far as speed if over used. As far as caster on karts I think it is mostly a means for helping jack the inside tire to help thru the turn since we basically have a locked rear end.

For more front grip on initial turn in, you add positive camber.

Jim, Yes, but you still need to adjust your front end to what the kart needs. Yes you can have too much front grip. You need to have the kart balanced.

Kart Steering, Physical Forces and Setup -
Theory and Practice by James Hughes
Often when asking questions about chassis and steering settings, the usual answer is simply to say changing some setting or other causes an increase or decrease in grip. There is never an explanation of the physical principles involved in causing these changes. I hope in this article to explain the physical forces involved in driving a kart, along with how those forces are generated by the steering, and what the effect is on the track of changing the various parameters available as setup.
Although a kart may seem to be rather simple device, it is perhaps a more difficult subject to explain than an equivalent car. Both vehicles have many parts and principles in common but there two major differences, which account for a large divergence in design and in setting up. These differences are the karts lack of differential, and also its lack of any suspension components.
A good knowledge of the forces involved can help greatly when setting up a kart - giving the mechanic some knowledge as to what should happen when a parameter is changed. This should result in considerably less time spent on the track testing.
Steering Geometry
The steering geometry can be regarded at the movement and displacement of the front wheels as the steering wheel is turned. This movement is quite complex, and involves a number of different settings. There is one thing in common though, and that is the reason why we need a complicated geometry - We MUST lift the inside wheel while cornering.
The inside wheel lift is what enables a kart to go round a corner without using a differential.
Because of this lack of a differential, a karts natural direction of travel, forwards, is very difficult to change. This is down to the differing radii of turn experienced by the inner and outer rear wheels while turning a corner. The inside wheel is actually travelling a shorter distance than the outside, so therefor is needs to take fewer revolutions to go round the corner. However, the two rear wheels are attached by a solid axle, and must therefor move together, so in order to turn, one of the wheels need to skid over the track surface. In a car, the differential will allow the wheels to turn at different rates, without this skidding action.
This skidding action, or indeed the lack of it, is what make a stationary kart so difficult to turn round - you have to overcome the grip of one of the tyres, and with the sticky tyres used in many kart classes this can expend a lot of energy.
This is the reason for lifting the inside wheel and it effectively turns the kart into a tricycle during the cornering process! The steering geometry causes the inner rear wheel to lift off the ground while cornering, which means the wheel can rotate faster than it is passing over the ground. The rear inner wheel is no longer touching the track, and we therefor no longer need to overcome the grip from that tyre in order to turn.
In fact, depending on the power of the engine, we may be able to allow some scrub. For example, while a Prokart may need to entirely lift the inner wheel, because it does not have enough power to overcome the scrub, a more powerful kart may have power to spare in the corner, meaning that the power loss to scrub can be overcome. However, any scrub will start to cause understeer when entering a corner, so even though the engine may be powerful, it may still be necessary to completely lift the inner rear to maintain decent handling.
However, we haven't yet explained how the front geometry can affect the rear wheel lift, and in order to do this, lets define a few terms used when describing front end geometry.
Camber. This is the degree to which the front wheel lean in (or out) from each other. A camber setting of 0 means that both tyres sit flat on the track. Maximising the amount of rubber on the track is one of the aims of kart setup.
Caster. This is the angle of the kingpin, which is the point around which the stub axles rotate. This is one of the most important settings for inducing wheel lift during cornering. Click for a larger image... Figure 1
Figure 2 Toe In/Out. This is the angle at which the front wheels either point in towards each other, or away from each other. Zero degrees toe in/out means that the wheels are parallel. Toe in/out is set by changing the length of the tie rods.
Scrub Radius. This is distance from the centre of the tyre to the point where a line down the kingpin axis intersects the ground. Along with caster this affects wheel lift during cornering. Scrub radius is set using spacers on the stub axle.
King Pin Inclination. This is the inward lean of the kingpin, and it modifies the amount of camber change caused by the caster when steering. It is not usually possible (or necessary) to adjust the KPI although some camber adjust systems may let you do it.
Ackermann Steering. Ackermann steering uses the angle of the stub axle arms (and often an offset on the steering column) to make the inner wheel on a corner turn more than the outside wheel. With cars this is used to reduce tyre scrub on corner, but of more importance to karts is the greater wheel lift effect caused by increasing the inner wheels turn when compared to the outer. Figure 3
To help explain how the front geometries affect the rear inside wheel, lets assume that the chassis is completely rigid - it is so stiff that it cannot bend in any direction. This assumption makes things a little easier to understand. Kart chassis are not actually this stiff - they flex in a number of areas. However, the differing effects caused by differing stiffness' in various parts of the chassis are beyond the scope of this article.
When we turn a corner, the steering geometry (but mainly the caster setting and scrub radius) causes the inside wheel to move down in relationship to the chassis, and the outside wheel to move up. As this happen, because our chassis is rigid, it pivots around a line from the inside front and outside rear, causing the inside rear to lift!
OK, so we have now explained how the front geometry is used to raise the inner rear wheel during cornering. There a quite a few other forces that come in to effect one a corner has been initiated, and that is what we will talk about next
Karting 'Forces'
During Acceleration/Deceleration
These are the most obvious forces, and are a caused by the tyres exerting a force on the track, either forwards or backwards, with the result being to brake or accelerate.
Its is important to remember that this force is in the same plane as the track, that is, it is below the karts centre of inertia. For this reason, the force exerts a turning moment (or torque) on the entire kart. During acceleration this torque causes a weight transfer to the rear of the kart, and during braking it causes a weight transfer to the front of the kart. There is no actual movement of any mass, but the torque effectively forces the appropriate part of the kart 'harder' down on the track. It is possible to calculate the amount of weight transfer if we know the acceleration and the distance from the centre of inertia to the rear wheels, but that is beyond the scope of this article. Figure 4 shows the rotational torque while accelerating. Figure 4
While Cornering
During cornering the driver feels like he is being pushed outwards from the kart. This is actually wrong, he is not being throw out but is simply trying to move in a straight line. The tyres of the kart are producing a grip which imparts an angular acceleration on the kart (and driver), forcing the kart to corner. It is this angular acceleration that the driver feels. The force which the ground imparts on the kart to make it corner is known as the Centripetal force, and it always acts at towards the centre of the imaginary circle we are cornering round. It important to remember that there is NO SUCH THING as centrifugal force.
In figure 5, we see that the centripetal force is split into two components, a vertical and a horizontal. The horizontal force we have just described, but the vertical can be regarded as the cornering equivalent of the forward acceleration case. Because the centripetal force is acting on the kart, it imparts acceleration to it, and again, this acceleration is acting at ground level. Therefor a torque effect is again produced, but this time it is acting across the kart, and we get a weight shift to the outside of the kart (vertical component Y in our diagram). This weight shift also helps the inside wheel lift, as the weight shift reduces the weight on the inside wheel by an equivalent amount. This force has not been show on the diagram to aid clarity, but is simply in the opposite direction over the inside rear. In fact once cornering is initiated, this weight shift is more important to raising the inside wheel than the steering geometry. Click for larger image... Figure 5
The distance between the rear wheels affects how the centripetal force is distributed over the horizontal and vertical components. In the diagram, F1 is the centripetal force spread over a wide track, F2 over a narrow track. In proportion to the Y components, X1 is higher than X2, meaning that as track is increased, more centripetal force is distributed as a sideways force in relation to the weight shift. This means a wider track produces less weight shift to the outside rear, and more sideways force. A narrow track increases the weight shift and decreases the sideways force. Therefor a narrow track is less likely to exceed the grip of the tyres when cornering than a wide track. Consequently, the grippier the tyres used, the wider the stance can be before the grip is exceeded.
On final force to consider is a torque around the vertical axis experienced when accelerating during a corner. It is common knowledge that braking while cornering on a kart causes massive understeer (the kart attempts to continue in a straight line) while accelerating can improve cornering. This at first seems counterintuitive, since normally when accelerating there is a weight transfer to the rear, which you would expect to try to push the inside rear back onto the track. However, this weight transfer is dwarfed by the torque around this vertical axis caused by the fact that only one wheel rear wheel in on the track, and this wheel is offset from the centre of inertia. Click for larger image... Figure 6
The further this wheel is from the centreline of the kart (and therefor the centre of inertia), the greater the turning moment, and the more likely the kart is the overcome the grip of the tyre on the track . This causes the back to break away - oversteer when accelerating and understeer when braking.
Handling Problems - Symptom and Cures.
Understeer at first, then a sudden grip of front which pulls you into the turn, and possibly going into oversteer.
This is usually explained by insufficient lifting on the inside wheel, causing the initial understeer. As the car starts to turn, weight transfer through centripetally caused torque on the chassis lifts the inside rear. Unfortunately, you now have so much steering lock on trying to initiate the turn, that once the inside rear lifts, the fronts are turned so far that massive oversteer usually results.
This can often be mistaken for a lack of rear end grip, since the final sensation is one of oversteer, but it in fact almost the opposite, since it's too much grip on the inside rear which is the main culprit.
We can use the steering geometry to cure this problem. As we showed above, increasing caster causes the inside front to move down further, thereby increasing inside rear lift. Also, moving the front wheels out on their stub axle (increasing the scrub radius) gives a greater effect, with the same result. Also, increasing the Ackerman effect can have an influence on this - making the inside wheel turn further and therefor move further down.
This is where on turning the wheel, the kart immediately and rapidly changes direction, the rear end breaks away, which results in a spin, or rear end slide.
This is down to insufficient rear end grip - as the turn is started, the inside wheel lifts, but the outside rear is unable to cope with the extra cornering forces involved, and breaks away. So we either have approached the corner too fast - and hence corner forces have overcome the grip of the tyre, or the tyre isn't producing the required grip level.
If the inside wheel is lifting a long way, this can causes grip problem since the tyre is at a larger angle to the track. Kart tyres do not react well to large angles of attack (unlike road or car race tyres which are able to distort to a greater extent because of a lower profile ratio), and this reduces grip. Reducing caster may reduce initial lift, but may also detrimentally affect initial turn in. Since the centripetal force acting on the kart overrides the caster settings while corning, there is probably a problem with the chassis more than the front geometry. It is flexing too far and allowing the rear too far off the track. Moving the rear hubs outwards can improve this situation, since a wider stance makes it harder for the centripetal forces to lift the inside rear, thereby decreasing the amount it will lift in any given corner.
If the back breaks away under braking or acceleration, then its possible that our rears are too far apart, which increases the rotational torque under changes of speed. Since this is most noticeable in wet weather, its is more fully described in the next section.
It could be that our tyre is running at the wrong pressure - and is therefor not at the right temperature to produce the required grip level. Tyre pressures are an arcane science that also won't be explored here, so the best option is to try different pressures during testing, once initial handling has been sorted out.
Wet Weather.
This is where things get (even more) complicated. The ultimate aim is the same, but because of various changed factors, there are some alterations to make
In the wet, we are cornering much more slowly, and we cannot accelerate as fast, or brake as heavily because of the lower grip levels available.
Lower corner speed means we do not get the same level of centripetal force during cornering, so the inside rear may not lift correctly. Moving the front wheels outwards emphasises the twisting effect induced by caster, improving initial turn in. In effect the front geometry has more of an effect throughout the corner in wet weather than in dry, where it is overshadowed by the centripetal forces.
Because we still have the same amount of power available, in low grip conditions the rotational torque caused on power application can exceed the grip levels more easily, causing rapid spin out. Moving the rear wheels in reduces this torque, so more power can be applied without breaking rear end grip. Some people refer to moving the rears inwards as increasing grip. This is not strictly true - the grip level remains the same, but the power can be applied more efficiently along the chassis, giving forward acceleration, rather than as a rotation torque which can cause spin out.
Other problems
You are sure to encounter many other problems with handling, but there isn't the space to go into them all here. However, hopefully the information presented should now be enough to make an educated guess as to the causes of any problems.
You will have guessed by now that we have described an optimal set of parameters for the kart geometry and wheel setup. Of course this never happens - tyre grip level change according to the circuit, weather, and the whim of the manufacturer, some circuits are mostly large radius corners while other are very twisty. What we need is to get to a setup that sits in the mid range of acceptable parameters, and adjust along this range for a particular circuit. For example, on a low grip circuit (or in cold weather) we may want to increase the caster to improve initial turn in. In very cold weather we may want to increase toe in, forcing the tyres to scrub, and therefor warm up faster to the required grip level. However, this can cause other handling problems, which may need to be over come.
The most important thing is to ensure that the inner rear contributes little or no grip in order to improve handling and reduce scrub and hence power loss. This is so important to keeping up speed through the corner, and makes handling so much more manageable.
However, we can also see from the explanations above that changing some settings can affect more that one area. For example, changing the distance between the rear wheels affects both weight transfer across the kart, and the rotation torque caused by accelerating or braking while cornering. Setting the kart up, even with of good knowledge of why a particular change works, still requires a certain amount of track time, although hopefully with the additional knowledge presented here, this track time can be greatly reduced.
Axles have a sweet spot where they flex enough and give a free rear end but not so much that they create binding. The best way to know if your axle is too stiff/soft is to change your hub length. By going to a longer hub, you stiffen the axle and so this may point at going to a stiffer axle if going to a longer hub does not totally cure the problem. The same holds true for softer, that is, shorter hub makes it softer and if it feels better with the shorter hub, you are probably too stiff on the axle. You can also loosen the third bearing (replace the bolts with zip ties) and feel if that helps. If it helps, go softer, if not, put the bolts back in and you probably should try going harder on the axle.
You may want to try to experiment with castor as well, I find on tracks with high grip, I need to dial some front grip out of the kart since it becomes overly positive, especially on initial turn in. This causes excessive lift and sometimes hopping/two wheeling if its very very grippy. On the other side of things, sometimes the grip isn't there on turn in and you bind up, in this case, you would add more castor to get the kart to lift the inside rear a bit. You should be able to feel how much lift you are getting when you drive the kart. On sticky tracks you have to be especially smooth since the kart will become much more positive and you will need to be more accurate with your steering input to avoid binding the chassis up.

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake that shook northern Japan on March 11, combined with the giant tsunami that followed, is one of the worst natural disasters that any country has had to bear in recent times. As of today, Japan's National Police Agency reports 27,652 people dead or missing. The gravity of the disaster has been matched only by the stoic and disciplined response of the Japanese public to this massive tragedy.
But what of the consequent calamities at four of the six nuclear reactors at Fukushima Daiichi? That too has been a huge disaster but more in industrial than human terms. At the time of this writing there is still no authenticated report of a single member of the public having died because of the radioactivity released, and there have been no reported deaths among the exceptionally brave workers at Fukushima Daiichi, although two people were reported missing as of March 17. Undoubtedly, reports of radiation casualties will emerge in the coming days, but these deaths will likely pale in comparison with the number of people crushed or swept away by the tsunami and earthquake. The crisis at Fukushima Daiichi is not a nuclear "apocalypse," as the European Union's energy commissioner, Germany's chancellor, and Germany's foreign minister recently dubbed it.
Yet the international media, the public, and their governments have been more obsessed with developments at the nuclear site than with the far greater damage caused to a vast population by the earthquake and tsunami combined. In some parts of the United States, Canada, and Russia, panicked consumers rushed to buy potassium iodide pills. In China, people began to hoard and consume unhealthy amounts of iodized salt despite government reassurances. Germany immediately shut down seven nuclear power plants -- a response totally disproportionate to the Japanese incident.
This is not to say that Japan and nearby countries should not take all steps they can to minimize the health impacts of radioactive fallout. Nor should we ignore important lessons to be learned from Fukushima. For example, restrictions against locating reactors in areas prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes (let alone a combination of these) must be made even more stringent than before. Clearly there has to be even more redundancy in the backup measures for cooling reactor cores and spent fuel rods when the power supply for pumps and valves is interrupted or destroyed. Regulators must also address the problem of how to safely vent gases from containment vessels without causing explosions that can damage protective structures.
But there are also a few positives from the nuclear energy industry's point of view. The physical structures guarding all six reactors at Fukushima appear to have survived the initial onslaught of one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. The reactors switched off immediately after the quake struck, as they are supposed to do. The subsequent partial meltdown and explosions were not caused by a failure of the reactors themselves, but rather by failures in the electrical supply needed to cool the hot fuel in the reactors and storage pools after shutdown.
Japan, the United States, India, and other nations have taken this opportunity to order a complete review of safety measures at all nuclear facilities. That is wise, and it is a more appropriate response than panicking or rolling back nuclear programs. It is also important for government regulators and the nuclear industry to educate the public about the harm that radioactivity can and cannot do, at any given dosage. For this educational effort to succeed and to be credible, nuclear officialdom must achieve a far higher level of transparency than is currently seen in many countries.

Contains Maltodextrin, not suitable for diabetics!
Publié par 5124832303772255919 le Oct 23, 2012
Maltodextrins are easily digestible carbohydrates made from natural corn starch, nothing to do with malt products despite the name suggesting so. They are polymers of dextrose (sometimes labeled "glucose polymers"), that do not contain significant quantities of protein, fat or fibre. ***Diabetics maltodextrin's glycemic index is considered to be metabolically equivalent to glucose (dextrose). In other words it is equivalent to sugar!*** For a low-carber such as myself, this product is fine & the taste is fantastic, no bitterness whatsoever & super sweet for such a small sachet, but please don't get this if you are a diabetic.
Good product

This is a good product that adds taste to my tea and coffe. I love it but I am not too fond of the packaging. I think one packet contain too much product for just one cup of tea for example so i will always end up with throwing away the remain or maybe leave it aside for the next time I will be using it. The powder is so soft and fine, which is a good thing but not when you want to seal the package again for the next use. It gets messy. Bottom line: i like this product but next time when i buy I will chose the liquid stevia.

RE: anthem mic/pickup
I can't find info online for the following:
1. difference between the "Anthem" and "Anthem SL"
2. the manual implies that there is a pickup mounted under the bridge saddle, is this correct?
3. where is the battery located and how hard is it to replace?
If buying a new guitar, does installation of anthem void the guitar manufacturer's warranty?

East among Section V football teams which lined up to play at Carrier Dome
High school football teams often accept invitations to play games out of town when the roster is full of seniors or returning starters.
East High did not have that option when it came to the Kickoff Classic.
All but one starter from last year's Rochester City Athletic Conference champion is gone. Yet, East football coach Paul Brigandi said there was little chance that the Orientals would pass up a chance to play Ithaca on Sept. 3 inside the Carrier Dome.
"We're the first (Rochester) city team to be invited," East senior defensive end/tight end Poncho Barnwell said. "It's a good experience, something new for us (as a team).
"It's a chance to show that we're all good players, not just the ones from the suburbs."
The dome is home to the state's most high-profiled college football team, the Syracuse University Orange. That is also the site of the state tournament finals.
"We've been there to watch games," Brigandi said. "Most of these kids probably have never been inside the (Carrier) Dome to even watch a game."
East High senior lineman Derrik Dickerson said that he and Barnwell are the only players on the team that have been inside the Carrier Dome. Barnwell and Dickerson each attended football combines at Syracuse.
The Orange have liked what they have seen from Barnwell, the only 2010 East starter back with the Orientals, enough to offer the 6-foot-4, 225-pound end a full scholarship.
Talented as Barnwell may be, it's doubtful that he will win games by himself. A good showing at the Dome against an Ithaca team East players know little about could be a boost for the Orientals early in the season.
"There's going to be pressure on us," Dickerson said about a group that could include six sophomores. "We have a really young team, and we're going to be in the Dome.
"Nerve-wracking might be the word. I'm going to be hyped and excited."
East's game versus Ithaca of Section IV, 11 a.m. on Sept. 3, is part of a lineup of 13 games over two weekends that include teams from around the state. Bob Campese, one of the organizers of the Kickoff Classic, said that the games have taken one format or another during a 25-year history.
"We want football to be promoted upstate and in the state," Campese said.
Aquinas and Bishop Kearney, two more teams from Section V, also are in this year's Kickoff Classic lineup:
Friday, Sept 2: Pulaski vs. APW, 2:30 p.m.; West Seneca West vs. East Syracuse-Minoa, 5 p.m.; Corning vs. Fayetteville-Manlius, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 3: East High vs. Ithaca, 11 a.m.; Ravena vs. Watertown, 1:30 p.m.; Cobleskill-Richmond vs. Alden, 4 p.m.; Saint Francis vs. Liverpool, 6:30 p.m.
Friday, Sept. 9: Union-Endicott vs. Syracuse Henninger, 5 p.m.; Mansfield vs. Syracuse Christian Brothers Academy 8 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 11: Clarke vs. Roosevelt, 11 a.m.; Aquinas vs. Binghamton, 1:30 p.m.; Bishop Kearney vs. LaFayette, 4 p.m.; Watertown vs. Fowler, 6:30 p.m.;
Free Heart Screenings: High school athletes can receive a free heart screening from Highland Hospital's Department of Cardiology, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20.
The testing at Highland Hospital is for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and other abnormalities. Test results are immediately available.
You must make an appointment in advance with a call to 585-784-8821.
HOCM is a defect in which a thickened portion of the heart restricts the flow of the blood. That causes the heart to work at a more rapid rate. High school and professional athletes have died from this condition.
The defect occurs in about one of 500 people.

Long Crimped Hair in Blond Highlights
Two-toned blond hair is crimped and worked into a voluminous ponytail. Wrapped around the back of the head, then over the forehead and down one shoulder, the body is tied off into fat sections at intervals of 6 to 8 inches. The style emphasizes the painstaking crimps that run the entire length of the hair, and shows as well the streaks of lighter blonde.

Dolores A. Placek
Dolores A. Placek, 89, of Tioga, N.D., passed away Monday, April 8, 2013, at the Tioga Medical Center.

Friends may share memories and condolences with the family at (www.fulkersons.com).
Dolores Annette Placek was born at Brantford, N.D., Jan. 3, 1924, the daughter of Raymond and Martha (Sherry) Paulson. She was raised at Brantford and educated at Glenfield, N.D., graduating valedictorian of her class in 1941. She continued her education at Jamestown College and the Deaconess School of Nursing in Grand Forks, N.D. With her RN degree in hand, she went to the United States Naval Hospital in Chicago, Ill., where she worked as a Cadet Nurse during the war years. After the war she returned to New Rockford, N.D., to serve as the Eddy County Nurse.
She was united in marriage to Charles W. Placek on Oct. 25, 1947, in New Rockford. To this union three sons were born, Charles, Mark and Toby. The family moved to Tioga in 1955, where Charles worked for the Great Northern Railroad. They had made Tioga their home for many years.
Dolores remained at home while she raised her family, but kept her nursing training keen. She began working at the Tioga Medical Center in the early '60s and was the Director of Nursing from October 1969 until December 1975, and after influencing many young area nurses in the Tioga community, retired in 1981.
Charles preceded her in death in November 2005; she enjoyed living at the Tioga Independent Living Apartments for the past seven years.
She was a member of First Lutheran Church in Tioga. She loved spending time with family at the family lake home at Wood Lake each summer and loved to fish with the best of them. She enjoyed her flowers and loved spending time with family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She and Charles enjoyed time hunting for agates. Dolores was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary for many years.
She is survived by: her sons and their wives; Charles (Karen) Placek, of Bismarck, N.D., Mark (Dorothy) Placek, of Tioga, N.D., Toby (Bonnie) Placek, of Crosby, N.D.; seven grandchildren, Dominik Placek, Derrick (Elisha) Placek, Tonya (Jon) Sigl, Austin (Lacey) Placek, Ashley (Darron) Olson, Kjell (Jen) Placek and Ian Placek; seven great-grandchildren; three stepgrandchildren, Stacy (Jeremy) Wilson, Gina (Mike) Harvey, and Michele (Sassan) Mouri, and nine stepgreat-grandchildren.

Moving on up!
This 1846 map of the Capitol Building contains plans to create a chamber for the Supreme Court. At that time, the Court was meeting in the basement of the Capitol, but it moved upstairs in 1861. In 1935, the Supreme Court Building across the street from the Capitol began housing the Justices, completing the physical separation of the three branches of government.

I had so much fun playing 'dress-up' with this doll of an ANGEL.
Love her red hair! Everything else I chose revolved around the red head!
I had so much fun with this 'thread painting' technique. This is a technique that must be hooped in order to keep the fabric flat because of all the heavy threadplay that's happening. I used two different thread colors in Isacord polyester for the basic hair color. A free motion zig zag for the darker color, and a straight stitch for the 'highlights' ---happy smiles! Then, as the final 'touch of 'glitz' I used a Glitter thread in a color of a 'true red.' Cool! I chose a white cotton for the quilting in the background inset piece... no need to compete with that fabulous red hair, and gorgeous batik dress, not to mention the delicate, pretty 'look at me' wings! Motif inspiration... just look at that fabric! So that's what I did... swirls!
GLITTER thread in bright silver also makes it appearance serendipity-like with silver stars quilted all over.... even on her toes!.. loving that heavenly feel! and... who knew there were green stars in heaven? I think there are! (see my post on bobbin play)... just 'bedazzles' and I love doing it! Random, silver threadplay also swirls away throughout the border... I truly enjoy crossing the lines... having no fear... having fun... and being free...! I chose a beautiful King Tut in variegated colors, and it blends in that busy border fabric, so I didn't need to get too elaborate with any quilting there, as it simply won't show.
Plenty of opportunity to shine in other places... decorating her dress with a few free motion swirls in a heavier topstitch thread (Fusions by YLI Thread Corp as designed by Laura Heine).
It's all in the details... beading... topstitch thread, rayon ribbon, sweet lace edging...bobbin play, glittery thread... halo... stars... words written into the inner border... color, texture... plenty of eye candy...
This is how easy it is to make the lace edging for the dress and the wings... and instead of following the pattern directions... instead, I hooped wash a way stabilizer with tulle, added another layer of aqua film topping, hooped it, and then began my free motion stitching, outlining the basic shape with a contrast thread (I used brown in this piece) and then a lovely, beautiful variegated Rainbows polyester (from Superior threads) filled it all in. Loosen that tension! Put the same thread in your bobbin. Make lots of intertwining circles... crossing over each other. Unhoop...wash it completely out, lay flat to dry, press with pressing cloth ... attach free motion style for EASE and presto-magico!
Pattern is called "Look at My Wings" from Laura Heine... visit Fiberworks in Billings MT for a fabulous store experience and more... YLI Fusions threads.. inspiration abounding!
Psalm 91:11 "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."

Highs and lows: Some of the best, worst of the week
Here are some of the best – and worst – of the week:
SIGNS OF SAFETY – Both the city of Dunkirk and village of Fredonia have made strides in keeping pedestrians and children safer. In the city, a new sign alerting motorists to slow down in the school zones was installed on Central Avenue near School 4. In Fredonia, thanks to the efforts of village Justice David Prince and Brad Meyers, police chief, there are newly installed signs on Main Street stressing crosswalk safety. Both are steps in the right direction.
MESSAGE FOR ALBANY – Sam Hoyt, regional president of the Empire State Development Corp. was tasked by Gov. Andrew Cuomo with visiting Dunkirk on Thursday and taking our concerns back to Albany. There were a number of good questions, especially regarding NRG. That concern is one that our state capital cannot hear enough about.
SNOWPLOW TARGET – Many must have thought the same thing we did as we published the story: what was Thomas Barone thinking? Barone, 40, was charged with reckless endangerment, second-degree assault, third-degree criminal mischief and obstruction after shooting the village plow with a pellet gun. The plow driver was injured in the incident.
LACK OF CONSTRUCTION – While city of Dunkirk had more than $3.8 million in work done on buildings in the city, there was no new construction of homes. During the recession, the home market was suffering nationally but it has since bounced back. Dunkirk, it appears, is still struggling.

Skip to comments.Attackers set fire to Muslim prayer house in Russia's blast-rocked Volgograd
Posted on 10/22/2013 2:36:46 AM PDT by cunning_fishEdited on 10/22/2013 5:35:44 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
MOSCOW Russian police says attackers set fire to a Muslim prayer house in a southern Russian city earlier rocked by a suicide bombing.
Volgograd police said Tuesday someone threw Molotov cocktails at the building late Monday night, but the custodian managed to put it out. Houses with rooms set aside for Muslim prayer are common in southern Russia.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
The main purpose of jihad activities is to intimidate the infidels into not opposing Islam.
If the result instead is to suppress Islam, then their own clerics will tell them to stop.
Was Obamatollah inside?
Tit for tat.
Unlike the politically correct Americans, the Russians won't put up with it.
The Mohammedans irritate the Bear at their own grave peril.
Better way to handle things than whining "Islam is a religion of peace" Dhimmitude garbage
Folks in Russia not thrilled with Islamic Terrorism...and Putin needs to stand firm against the Islamics....not Russians
a good idea I hope catches on world wide.
Did they nail the doors shut first? I wouldn't want any fire fighters injured attempting to enter the structure.
Does this mean, officially now that aside from Homophobia, the Russian suffer from Islamophobia, just like in the West?
Shame, shame Russia, where's your tolerance and restraint as shown in the West.
Then again, the West are fools...
Good - Keep it up - I for one am cheering - since that all that Moslems do when they attack and rape - murder Christians...it's time they are feed their own medicine!
Progress begins with one small step.
I've decided that if this country continues on its path toward being more like Cuba or the former Soviet Union, Russia might just be the place to repatriate.
I am gaining a new respect for Russians... taking the bull by the horns once again!
Rabid dogs need killing
I have had that feeling also. Putin may be KGB, but unlike the black racist Muslim Marxist in the White House, he IS a patriot.
Better keep tossing.
Would any of us ever have believed 20 years ago that we would admire a Russian leader over an American president? It is crazy, but I honestly would take Putin over Obama any day.
I have no sympathy for those who give moral support to terrorists. If someone attacks their house of indoctrination, I couldn't care less.
You trade one dear leader for another. Crazy.
At least I agree with Putin on some things. I don't agree with Obama on anything. I hate Obama.
Can someone educate me on how well the Russians did in Afganistan years ago? I mean are they really against the ROP or are they just taking care of business on their own turf?
And how will you like whoever inherits Putin's position?
You will put up with a thug like Putin, a system of govt that creates and rewards people like Putin and Obama, overlooking all of the bad, because you agree with a few of his positions.
Wow. Don't they know that it was merely yet another mere coincidence?
Good! Go Russia!
>>>Can someone educate me on how well the Russians did in Afganistan years ago? I mean are they really against the ROP or are they just taking care of business on their own turf?<<<
I can say there weren't car bombs and shootings at major cities in Afghanistan under Russian occupation. 'Freedom fighters' were sitting in caves crapping bricks at day time.
Ok, that makes sense. Why did they leave?
Maybe I'm just making too much out of it all, with there being so much made up crap these days, but I guess it's a whole new ball game when the ROP stars in doing this filth in Russia vs. their own crap holes.
Well, attacking Stalingrad was never an good idea.
>>Ok, that makes sense. Why did they leave?<<
Because Afghanistan is a thankless craphole and worth neither blood nor money.
And they have never planned to stay there forever in the first place. Withdrawal was planned on 1989 years before.

Sylvia vs Mercer To Be A Boxing Match
Tim Sylvia set to box Ray Mercer, Affliction bout possible
by John Morgan on Feb 25, 2009 at 6:55 pm ET
In his first action since a July 2008 loss to Fedor Emelianenko, former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia will face Ray Mercer in the main event of Adrenaline MMA III.
First reported as a possible bout by Fiveouncesofpain.com, Sylvia's manager and Adrenaline MMA promoter Monte Cox today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Sylvia vs. Mercer will be headlining the May 30 event at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort in Atlantic City, N.J.
While first pitched as an MMA contest, Sylvia (24-5 MMA, 0-0 Boxing) will instead turn in his open-fingered gloves for a pair of boxing mitts.
"I was doing Tim Sylvia against Ray Mercer as a headliner," Cox said. "First I was doing it in MMA. We changed and thought it would be a lot more interesting in boxing."
Mercer (36-7-1 Boxing) began boxing professionally in 1989. Now 47-years-old, Mercer last fought in a majority decision win over Richel Hersisia (30-2 boxing).
"In boxing, who knows who is going to win," Cox said. "Mercer just beat a guy who is 30-2. He was ranked fifth in Europe and Mercer just beat him."
Mercer fought Wladimir Klitschko for the WBO heavyweight title in 2002 and lost via sixth-round TKO. "Merciless" has gone 6-2 since that bout, including four wins by knockout or TKO.
"You just have no idea who is going to win," Cox said. "I don't care if he's 47 (years old). He's been boxing his whole life, won an Olympic gold medal, went to split decision with Lennox Lewis. Believe me, he's going to hit hard. Tim's going to have a hard time."
Mercer is best-known by many MMA fans for his June 2007 submission loss in an exhibition bout with Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson.
Despite having one event remaining on a broadcast contract with HDNet, Adrenaline's third event will not be shown on the network that carried the organization's first two outings.
"It won't be on HDNet," Cox said. "I still have a deal left. But (HDNet Fights CEO) Andrew Simon decided that he didn't want to do that show."
Instead, Cox will look to broadcast the event with an alternate partner.
"I've got another group that put together a deal with me where it would be available in 55 million homes and another one that's up to 70 million homes," Cox said. "I'll do one of those two."
Cox said that there were not yet any other finalized bouts for the card, but that he plans on Adrenaline MMA III being "a good East Coast card."
As for Sylvia, "The Maine-iac" may also be looking to break his recent two-fight slide in a potential return to MMA action at Affliction's as-yet-unannounced third show.
Sources close to the bout have indicated to MMAjunkie.com that Paul Buentello could be in line for Sylvia. Cox said the bout was possible, but that Sylvia's participation would depend on the date Affliction elects to hold its event.
"I've been in discussion with them for that," Cox said. "A lot depends on what the date ends up being. Obviously we're doing May 30. If [Affliction's next show] is in July, we're definitely interested."
Sylvia is gonna get Ko'd IMO.
If things start going bad for Tim, a swift kick to the head should level the playing field. He can always claim it was an accidental reaction.
ok, it just got interesting
Ray Mercer is 47, this is horrible.
It should be.. interesting???
I won't be at all surprised it Ray takes this....
You suck.
This should be harder for Big T than an MMA match with him would be! Just cause Mercer is 47 don't count him out completely!

Northampton County's Gracedale unveils short term rehab unit
UPPER NAZARETH, Pa. - Officials at Gracedale cut the ribbon on a new, short-term rehabilitation facility Monday.
The unit opened officially Monday afternoon. The unit is expected to bring in one million dollars in additional revenue, but the facility will still need financial support from the county.
The people are residents of Gracedale, but they are not staying in the nursing home; they're part of the new short term rehabilitation unit.
"Gracedale has had a lot of empty beds over the last year and one of the things we had to do is find more creative ways to attract people from the community who want to bring their loved ones here and trust us to care for them," said Millard D. Freeman, Gracedale administrator.
Dortha Hudson of Bethlehem said, "The people that I've seen here have really benefited quickly. I've seen them in therapy and in the rooms."
Hudson is hoping she will be one of those patients to recover quickly as well. She's at the short term rehab unit after a bad bout with pneumonia.
"They're so quick to get you moving," Hudson said, "It's like they don't baby you."
That also seems like the goal for Premier Healthcare Resources when it comes to the bottom line at the facility in Upper Nazareth Township.
Just eight months ago, the private company was hired by Northampton County to cut expenses at Gracedale. This after a voter referendum passed and kept the nursing home in county control instead of being sold.
The company has upgraded windows, and other energy saving measures. Some would think adding a new unit is adding money. That is not the case. The workers are current employees offering a different service, and in the first year it's estimated the short term rehabilitation unit will make $1 million.
The unit has been open since May. There are 27 beds in the unit. Currently, 21 beds are occupied.

Imagine visiting the United States for the first time and having the extraordinary opportunity to watch some of the world's top American swimmers compete for a spot in the 2012 London Olympics. While many people had to gather around television sets to watch the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, a special group of swimmers from Tunisia had the chance to watch it live! Partnering with USA Swimming, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA)'s SportsUnited division brought 13 athletes -- 12 youths and 1 coach -- to the United States for a sports exchange program from June 26 to July 9.
Today marks the start of the swimming events for the 2012 London Olympics, and U.S.A. Swimming National Team member, Ariana Kukors, is preparing for her upcoming race in the 200m individual medley. Not only did the Tunisian athletes watch her qualifying race, but they also had the opportunity to meet the talented swimmer.
During the first half of their visit, the Tunisian youth attended the 2012 USA Olympics Swimming Trials and watched superstar athletes such as Michael Phelps, who was competing in his last Olympic Trial, and 17-year old Missy Franklin, who became the first American female to qualify for seven Olympic events. The delegation also participated in a Special Olympics session and toured Creighton University.
The final part of the program took place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where the delegation participated in a series of intensive swimming clinics, strength and conditioning trainings, and educational summer camp programs. Besides swimming and training alongside their American counterparts, the Tunisian kids were able to build special relationships with their new American friends through the camp's fun and collegial atmosphere. They were able to bond through camp activities on the beach, help each other overcome their fears on a ropes course, and enjoy a new experience together of deep sea fishing!
This program marks the fourth sports exchange with Tunisia, following up on basketball Sports Visitor and Sports Envoys programs in 2008, 2010, and 2012. People-to-people exchanges, such as this, not only enhance the visitors' athletic abilities but also help foster a better understanding of American customs and allow Americans to gain better insights into other cultures.

I measure a 5 wide, which is impossible to find! Sanuk actually carries a 5! I own 3 different styles of Sanuk. Even though it is not technically a wide, it is wide enough, with the soft fabric. I also have a high instep, but the top of the shoe accommodates that. These are one of the most comfortable shoes I own. The only con (which only happened after I wore them for about 6 months), is that they can get a little stinky. But, that's probably just me! I don't wear them with socks and I do tend to have stinkier feet that most…ha ha ha! Thank you Sanuk for realizing that some of us do have small feet!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

6 Juicers were tested: Breville Juice Fountain Elite, Champion Juicer, Greenstar Elite, Krups Juice Extractor 5Y501, Omega Vert 350, and Omega 8006.
The Krups Juice Extractor and Breville Juice Fountain Elite came pre-assembled.
The Greenstar had numerous parts was complicated and cumbersome to assemble.
Champion Juicer had few parts making it the simplest to assemble.
The Omega Vert 350 had missing alignment dots as well as numerous identical alignment arrows. To complete assembly the tester was required call the customer service line.
The Omega 8006 assembly was moderately simple when following package directions.
Produce Prep and Feeding:
The Krups required minimal produce prep but was loud and pulp was wet with large pieces. Pulp collection was built into the unit.
The Greenstar had a small feed tube and required the produce to be almost chopped to fit (the tester had to cut an apple into 24 pieces).
The Breville was the loudest of the juicers tested but required minimal prep and was not very messy.
The Omega Vert 350 required varying amounts of prep depending on the produce to be juiced (grape seeds must be removed prior to juicing). It was the messiest of the juicers (leakage and weak juice stream that was at times hard to capture). The unit jammed repeatedly.
The Champion Juicer required minimal produce prep and was the quietest. There was some juice leakage from the screen during juicing.
The Omega 8006 ran quietly but required cutting/tearing the produce into smaller pieces to fit into the feeder tube. Feeding solid produce took effort/force.
The Krups had numerous basket parts that took organization to clean and reassemble.
The Breville was easy to assemble and cleaning was easy but had to be done carefully because of some sharp parts.
The Greenstar required a bristle brush to clean the augers and interlocking parts. Reassembly took some practice to in order to mesh the augers properly.
The Omega Vert 350 was challenging to clean due to difficulty removing pulp around the auger, basket and rubber gasket.
The Champion Juicer had few parts to clean; making it simple to clean and reassemble.
The Omega 8006 was relatively easy to clean and reassemble.

Nutrition is Essential
The benefits of good nutrition are innumerable. Besides helping you maintain a healthy weight, good nutrition is essential for the body and all its systems to function optimally for a lifetime. In fact, the benefits of good nutrition can be found in physical and mental health because a healthy diet provides energy, promotes good sleep, and gives the body what it needs to stay healthy.
Why Fresh Juice:
1) By taking fiber out of the equation, your digestive system doesn't have to work as hard to break down the food and absorb the nutrients. In fact, it makes the nutrients more readily available to the body in much larger quantities than if you were to eat the fruits and vegetables whole
2) Many of us eat the same vegetables and fruits every day, or worse, don't eat any on a regular basis. With juicing, you can enjoy a wide variety of fruits and vegetables that you don't enjoy eating whole
3) Juicing is a great way to consume the recommended daily serving of essential vitamins and minerals
Using the Right Equipment
Blenders and juicers are electrical appliances that are found in many household kitchens. It is important for consumers to know the difference between blenders and juicers. A consumer may only be interested in creating tasty smoothies or juices, but the distinction between a juicer and a blender is important when a person is trying to optimize healthy nutrition. Juicing is a process which extracts water and nutrients from produce and discards the indigestible fiber versus blending which literally blends all the ingredients together. Juicers are excellent for health conscious people because they allow them to create juices that have not been contaminated with chemicals and additives.
Get the most benefit from your juicer
Consumers interested in good health should invest in a good-quality juicer. Centrifugal or auger juicers introduce heat and oxygen and destroy the enzymes and nutrients in your fruits and vegetables. A premium mastication or cold-press juicer will produce a superior-quality juice and allow you to extract more from your fruit and vegetables to optimize nutrition.
The Champion Juicer
The Champion Juicer is a true masticating juicer due to the high rotational speed of the cutter, the grinding action of the saw tooth blades, and the longer processing time. The difference between a centrifugal juicer and a masticating juicer is like night and day. Masticating juicers do not produce as much heat as centrifugal juicers so they keep more of the fresh ingredients and nutrients intact. Masticating juicers also extract more essential vitamins such as vitamin A to help eyes, skin and bone and vitamin C needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is the structure and organization of an enterprise. This refers to the enterprise's terms, its relationship with environments outside the office, and its design and development, with the goal of finding better ways for a company to achieve its objectives. It is the analysis of the enterprise's documentation in both current and future forms from a business and technology perspective. Enterprise architects develop and draw conclusions from the architecture on how to better improve the enterprise and its purpose. Some enterprise architects implement service-oriented architecture (SOA), a type of EA, for a more integrated approach. More about Architecture

Meeting for Parents Tonight About Underage Drinking
There is a meeting tonight at the St. Paul Blvd. Fire Department that you will want to attend if you host parties for teenagers.
The event will feature a panel of experts, including Monroe County District Attorney Mike Green, Officer James Reed from the Irondequoit Police Department, the Honorable Vincent Dinolfo, medical professionals and others. The topic at hand concerns the ramifications of hosting parties where alcohol is knowingly and unknowingly served.
The "Parents Who Host Lose the Most" campaign was started eleven years ago in Ohio by the Drug-Free Action Alliance in order to raise awareness about the risks of serving alcohol to teens at parties. The program soon gained national recognition and the model is used in all 50 states.
The event will be held tonight at 7pm at the fire department which is located at 433 Cooper Road. If you have children in high school, this would be an important meeting to attend.
