I see that On-one recommend the FRM D-Set 1.5 inch Taper 49 Headset at £75
What are other 456 riders running on their's
I had an On One Smoothie in mine. It was free with the frame yet still bad value. Took it out after 10 summer rides, bottom bearing was already grumbly.
So I fitted a Works angle headset instead, lovely.

be a good stopgap till you get...a 29erPosted 4 years ago # -
Andy - i spent the whole of the Are You Tough Enough event wondering whether just to wither under your immense pressure and go for a 29er, but i chose not to for several reasons - and all of these were ticked of under epic race conditions!
1) Your smug face
2) Sky's smug face
3) Your terrible impression of a manxman with a scouse accent
4) I've got all the bits ready for my 26" bike
5) 29ers will never catch on
6) 26" wheels are perfect
7) I've just spent a small fortune on my big bike
The last 29er i rode kept burping because it couldn't take proper abuse
9) Only people with really diddy feet ride 29ers
10) We'd have no more abuse to throw at each otherI'm doing it for you mate!!

*THAT accent*
BJ glad you were thinking of me during AYTE I'm sure next bike you will throw away your wheelist inhibitions - you know for a lanky streak of pi$$ it makes sense... Sky says woof...*end THAT accent*

Mine has a superstar headset -think its the T2 one.

Through mouthfuls of gooseberries!
Panic over - managed to mix 'n' match a Hope headset - sorted!

Finally, i can post some photos of the new build
It comes in at 26lbs - but i'm not 100% confident in my scales
I had it going since last Friday, but i've had a big tech issue at home, so no internet!
Been out tonight and i'm mighty impressed with the frame - its great.
Very rigid and very fast!

The yellow actually looks good, better than it does on the on one site.
Anyone got a pic of a red framed build?Posted 4 years ago # -
I love the yellow. The red's a wee bit wishy washy, almost faded but the yellow is absolutely spot on- almost exactly the same as my old Mmmbop in fact.

Mine is raw carbon black, which is lovely. I have to say though, that yellow does look good.
Posted 4 years ago # -
nice build BoltonJohn, if you will forgive me for asking how does it take a good battering?
Posted 4 years ago # -
Cheers for the positive comments guys!
The bike rides really nice, but the frame does make some funny noises when i'm giving it beans - especially around the front end when i'm doing something particularly silly - but i've never ridden carbon bikes before, but i understand that its normal
It handles very well - very stable downhill and climbs very well considering the headangle.
I've only ever ridden steel & titanium hardtails in anger - but i love how stiff this is - you stomp down and the bike shoots off
For the money - I think this is the deal of the century - £250 - bargain!

They are great frames.
I bought a raw black one at the beginning of the year and love it. Its my stealthy night bike.The wife borrowed it the other week as her cheap evans special threw a wobbly 5 mins before going out for a ride. When she came back she refused to give it back despite the medium frame being too big for her.
So, being such a nice chap I am, for our 10th wedding anniversary a week later I bought her the small painted frame in black with grey decals and built it up with all the components off mine. It looks fantastic.
It was a good excuse to upgrade mine to XT and transfer some other bits between bikes.
So I ended up with:
1. Upgraded super stealth night bike
2. Happy wife ....doesnt happen often
3. Upgraded components on my full sus.Happy Days!
PS, It looks rather tasty in yellow! I reckon the all red frame would look good built up..anyone got any piccies?

Is anyone aware of a source of replacement drop-outs which will take a 12mm thru-axle on the 456?
I'm striving to achieve full wheel compatibility between my bikes - but its proving elusive!

Her Finest Day
A fairytale wedding comes to life in this 8" X 10" art reproduction
of my original mixed media work with embroidery that was recently
on exhibit. I created it from classic art, vintage images and dried flowers
from my garden. Truly, a bride's wedding is, indeed, "her finest day"
filled with memories.
Often, people ask me how long my mixed media pieces take...This
particular one took about 100 hours...I know, hard to believe, but
there's lots of detail. The print is now in my Etsy shop!
I hope that you are all having a wonderful day!

A New Zealand woman's death has been linked to extreme Coca-Cola consumption, according to a coroner's report, which urged the soft-drink giant to place warning labels on its caffeinated products.
Natasha Harris died suddenly of cardiac arrest three years ago. According to Harris' family, the 31-year-old was addicted to Coca-Cola, drinking upwards of 10 litres a day and suffering withdrawal symptoms if she went without the carbonated drink.
According to New Zealand's TVNZ, a coroner's report released Tuesday connects Harris' death with excessive Coke consumption.
Coroner David Crerar said her Coca-Cola intake had given rise to cardiac arrhythmia, a condition in which the heart beats too fast or too slow.
"It is more likely than not that the drinking of large quantities of Coke was a substantial factor that contributed to the development of the metabolic imbalances which gave rise to the arrhythmia," wrote Crerar.
Harris suffered from a myriad of other health complications, including liver problems and tooth decay.
The coroner's report also points out that at least one of Harris' eight children were born without enamel on their teeth, which should have been treated as a warning, according to TVNZ.
In the wake of Harris's death, Crerar has suggested that food-safety warnings on carbonated drinks may be insufficient in protecting consumers.
Coca-Cola responded to the report, saying they were "disappointed" in the coroner's findings.
"We are disappointed that the coroner has chosen to focus on the combination of Ms. Harris' excessive consumption of Coca-Cola together with other health and lifestyle factors as the probable cause of death," reads the statement sent to TVNZ. "This is contrary to the evidence that showed the experts could not agree on the most likely cause."
The company released an earlier statement on Harris's death during a 2012 inquiry, suggesting the gross consumption of any food product, including water, over a short period of time can be "dramatically symptomatic."
Health Canada recommends a maximum caffeine intake of 400 mg per day. The agency doesn't give a specific guideline for sugar intake, but points to the Institute of Medicine recommendation that no more than 25 per cent of total daily calorie intake come from added sugars.
Crerar calculated that drinking 10 litres of Coke per day would amount to 970mg of caffeine and more than 1kg of sugar daily.

Casa Belevedere was exactly as it was described! The property was in a wonderful (although relatively remote) location and I would say a car is essential. It was very well maintained and clean. Stunning views and not overlooked by any other property. We stayed in the converted chestnut barn. Simple and rustic in taste. The owners provided a wonderful service. Even offering to meet us when we got lost. Hospitality pack was provided which was a nice touch and lots of information was provided in terms of tourist attractions. The owners were very willing to provide information on a particular aspect that we enquired about (hiking in the area).
A wonderful gesture by the owners of providing us with breakfast one morning ......a plate of fresh baked croissants and pastries.
There are lots of ristorante and trattorias in the locality although not within immediate vicinity. Lucca is only a 20 minute drive away too. Fascinating city.
All in all the hospitality and warmth provided by the owners made our holiday a very enjoyable one. I would certainly recommend it for a quite rural holiday and most certainly would recommend to friends.
My husband and I decided to book the larger property to give us extra space and privacy and as we liked the look of Fiordaliso.
This proved a good choice, we had the the complex to ourselves as there were no other guests and were able to enjoy the peace and privacy. The only downside is the property is on a sharp bend next to the road and during the peak times morning and evening there is a bit of horn honking by motorists to indicate their presence for safety reasons.
The terrace next to the kitchen is wonderful, likewise the views and there is plenty of shade provided by the large umbrella and the adjoining utility barn and trees.
The property is lovely inside and perfect for two, I personally would not like to stay if there were four adults as the second bedroom is small which consists of a wardrobe and bed settee. The flooring is boards only so there is little privacy between floors.
The gardens around the property were beautiful in May and surrounding the property are working fields belonging to the local villagers of San Gennaro. The village itself is beautiful and the climb not too steep.
The local shop/bar/restaurant is closed on Mondays and the menu looked fairly basic, did not try so cannot comment if good. We did try the restaurant in the square in Collodi but were not impressed by the food so we dined on our terrace for the rest of our meals at night which was much more relaxing and with our own private view and terrace the evenings were wonderful, especially when the fireflies came out.
We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. Thank you Petronela and Gianmarco for a lovely stay and for saving us when we got lost en route.
The surrounding area offers ours visitors many opportunities to spend their holidays, walks, visiting the art cities of Tuscany, tast the local products such as wine and olive oil, tasting festivals, cultural events and artisans market that occur throughout the year.
San Gennaro is a small village placed on the hills of Lucca at only 2 km from Collodi with the famous Park of Pinocchio and 14 km from Lucca the birthplace of Puccini, a medieval town surrounded by an impressing fortification perfectly preserved.
It is an excellent location to visit the famous art towns of Tuscany:Florence, Pisa, Siena. You can enjoy also the famous thermal baths of Montecatini at 16km and Bagni di Lucca at 28km, or the beaches of Viareggio at 35km and Forte di Marmi at 45km away.
The village San Gennaro is a little corner of Tuscany immersed through olive grove and vineyard, still genuine and all to discover, with tight roads but full of fascination and history. The church, beyond an intrinsic importance, enclose a fascinating angel recently attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.The houses are set in a silver-tipped olive grove and have a magnificent panoramic view over the peaceful hills.

I was hoping some of your readers are crafty or sew-y. I have a laptop sleeve.
I'm looking for some book recs on a very specific topic, and hoping the readers can help.
For the last year I've been hearing about The Great British Bake Off and how awesome it is.
I am remembering only a small part of a book I recently read, which is making it difficult to Google.
I am trying to find a book I read when I was a kid (maybe a teen) in the '70s or '80s. It was old then, though.
I've been looking for a true crime novel that I remember reading about. Multiple searches have turned up nothing.
So, after being lucky enough to have a lovely wedding last month and a looong honeymoon, I am still dumb enough to have just one little bee in my bonnet that Will. Not. Die.
There is a movie I watched, probably in the late '80s/early '90s. It was probably a made-for-TV movie, because I can't find it hard as I Google, but it's really stuck with me because it's …
I know I'm in for a drubbing, but I want to hear from you and your readers.
I'm a single mom of one, having a long-distance affair with a married man, G.

A digital marketing template is going to be handy for you in all possible ways. There are some of the important features that you need to check out in this aspect. What you need to know is the process flow of the digital marketing template. Here are the template designing guidelines that you need to follow.
Prepare The Coding
The first step that you will have to go through is the HTML design. You can get that through the different websites. In case you get the free template, you can customize the HTML and insert the different codes regarding the website ids and email codes. So, there are two ways; you can handle the situation. The first one is through the different designs that are with you, and the next support is by a separate coding of HTML. There are some of the important things that you will have to check out here, like the image mapping and even the code management. If you feel that you are able to do that, you can find an edge in the design too.
Upload The Template To A Website
The second step is to make the template live. You can share the template through bulk email, but that does not refer the template to be operating independently. The template must be aligned with a server, since an HTML code, when established in a domain can shape up, not before that. So, you will have to store the coded template in your server and recall the template in the email body, for the perfect casing of the mail.
Image Editing
So, you will have to design the code and template initially and then upload the code to the server to make it visiblylive. When you have completed both the steps, you are ready to share the template through email, social media, and many other sources. To design the template, you need the support of Photoshop or likewise image editing tool too.
Where To Get The Support
This is the complete setup that you need to follow in the process. Now you will have to decide, whether you can do that alone or not. If you can make the coding and update in the system, then that is very good, but if not then you will have to contact a professional for the purpose. Generally, an IT fellow can do the work for you, but where the image editing and preparation is needed, you will have to get the help of a professional image editor.
You can also get the support from some companies, who are dedicated to designing the templates. They will be preparing the template and will provide you the coded form. You need to upload that to the server and share it through emails and social networks. This will help you get the ultimate support in all possible ways. Templates, when shared through emails and social media can be really helpful and easy to be managed. They will do the necessary marketing for you, for your site and also for your business.

Emissions Removal
I want to take off my Smog pump and plate off the egr along with removing the cat on my 307 olds. Any pointers or heads ups?, aside from the law and environment.
Sponsored Links | |||
Why do you want to do all that?
Is the cat plugged? what is wrong with the A I R system. What is up with the EGR?
Fact is stranger than Fiction |
It works as it should, but itm going to go with headers w/ true duals and dont want to put cats and plus i have to deal with all that jumble of a mess under the hood
The cats dont pose much , if any, restriction in the exhaust, provided they arent plugged, or the engine is running too rich, causing excess back pressure. But the single exhaust is restrictive.
Also the A I R does push air into the exhaust stream, causing some extra back pressure, mostly at WOT The EGR does help to lower combustion chamber temps to help keep NOX low, and it helps to stop pre ignition . All that said, with a low compression and 307 CI you wont get a real seat of the pants feel , as far as horsepower gain , from just dual exhaust, but it will sound good . Do you still have the computer control carb and distributor? Those were designed to optimize fuel economy and werent noted for performance. The small bore long stroke of the 307 was for the same reason.
Fact is stranger than Fiction |
headers are available that are smog pump friendly.The 307 is just a stroker 283,great little engine once you get rid of the factory cam and timing set. Perfect candidate for vortec heads camel bumps and a small 4bbl to go with the headers
its a 84 delta 88, im pretty sure it aint got the computor carb/ dist. And milling the heads is a good thought
I did this once when i was younger back in the 80's me and my cusin took the stuff off his car. I cant tell you how bad it ran after that.
If you take it off make sure you keep the parts. You may need to go back to using it. If your carb is electric carb do not remove that stuff it will run terrible until you replace carb and intake. You can tell if it has the electric carb. It will have a few wires running up to the top of the carb to a black thing with star style screws. If you have that leave it alone or completly replace the system. Block is the same but intake, carb and headers will be needed to make it run right again. But take my advice with a grain of salt since I have not tried this in years. We may have just not getten all the parts replaced right. But sure enough 2 weeks later we had to reinstall the entire system bad part was we had already tosed it in the trash. we had to hunt junk yards to find the right stuff. It was ugly. |
*Noise Level being an engineering term where when testing something like an engine on a dyno making changes from run to run shows that whatever is happening it isn't enough to separate from normal variation you see from run to run with a consistent configuration. Bogie |

I'd leave it all on.. true duals.. why.. it's a 140hp 307 the egr, doesn't hurt anything, and doesn't function at wot the air system is to help burn the raw hydrocarbons in the exhaust.. hurts nothing.. takes 1/2 hp to turn the smog pump.. I have a 86 SS so I feel your pain.. on the crap under the hood.. but . even if they don't test the emmissions , removal of the parts is a 2500.oo fine each.. my bet is, because they want most older cars retired.. these fines will come to light.. and fix it.. tickets will become the norm. down the line.. if nothing else. save the parts you pull.. you'll gain more from a cam change to the later 307 h/o 185hp factory roller cam. than the duals.. |

Hey guys im new to this and im looking for a jeep wrangler tj and i found one but idk bout the price seesm low for what it has to offer here the link to it.....any help with be great thanks!!!!!!
2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4.6L Stroker :D |
Dont know about a 4.6L but besides that it's WAY to good to be true!!! Like the old adage If it's too good to be true...probably is. Cant hurt to go look at it, but if it's one of those send me the money type things and they'll ship it then it's DEF BS. Good luck
Nice sounding Jeep but if you really intend to wheel it and want the potential to install a rear locker, bigger tires, etc., ask the seller if it has the standard Dana 35c rear axle or the optional upgraded Dana 44 rear axle which is far stronger which is strong enough for bigger tires and a locker. The standard Dana 35c axle is not. It is much easier and cheaper to find a Jeep like that with the upgraded Dana 44 rear axle already installed than it is to buy one with the standard Dana 35c and have to pay to upgrade or replace it later.
Not to mention that since he stroked that engine, no telling how much it has been driven REALLY hard. And welcome to WF! :) |
That Craigslist posting is a scam.
Priced too good, but even worse is the ad is just one full size image. It's designed to make you click on it, which will take you to an intentionally disguised web site. Don't let that site run any programs, and don't give the super-nice people there any personal information. If you are still tempted, get a phone number and do business that way. Any thing you do on that web site should be suspect - so no email. |
I would not "click here". Looks like a scam or spam to me.
It's a scam, they copy someone's else add and post it. If you make contact, they'll tell you they are in another state, country, military, etc and need to ship it. That's when they take your money and run. Unless you can put your hands on it, and you can tell it is not a salvage title (CARFAX, good look over by a mechanic), it is almost always too good to be true.
Wow that looks surprisingly similar to an ad on Craig's list NH a few weeks ago LOL

yup, we have tons of those on the redneck, TX craigslist as well. I almost got excited once. But the pics of said vehicle had hills in the background, so I knew it wasn't local.
Its complete BS and I flagged it. I get sick and tired of seeing those ads on c-list. Some people actually like to try to use it for legitimate purposes but you always have some d-bags trying to rip people off. Keep looking man. There is something legitimate out there for a good price for you. Good luck!
Saw the same one posted in the providence craigslist today. Hate these scammers. Getting us all excited for nothing. I got my Jeep and most parts on craigslist, but it amazes me how many legit people post things and then never ever respond-or respond a week later saying available. By that time I've always already bought new. Goodluck on your search though. You will find it. Took me searching everyday for 3 months on CL!
Definitely a scam. I've seen the same craigslist ad in many cities. It seems as though $2970 is some magic price point, many vehicles listed at this price, all scams.
cmon now...
SCAM all over it........

They can't touch me cos i got backstreet power
Trip Start
Nov 17, 2010
Trip End
Where I stayed
Carnival Destiny
i have to admit tough when it was time to get up and go explore Key west. I was feeling alittle groggy. I really wish i had brought my sunglasses as we headed in to Key West on a mini Land train. I wasn't going to let it spoil my day though. After we had this crazy chicken and pineapple sandwich for lunch and got chatted up by the waiter. I was set again to conquer the world. Starting with Key West.
As we had already been we spent alot of our time walking around. We had done the tourist spots and wanted to see abit more of what Key West had to offer. We wondered down first to get our picture with the most southern point again, this time when it was light. Then we headed for a walk along the coast line to see some of the beaches. We didn't have long and didn't see much really, but the walk was nice and the weather much warmer.
Heading back to ship in plenty of time, we bumped into the girl we are sitting next to at the shows and her friend. We got separated from them as we headed back to the ship, but caught up again to watch the ship embark and get abit of sun before we headed to palladium for the Question and Answer session. I enjoyed this so much, i laughed so hard. The things the boys were coming out with and Howie...Oh bless Howie. He really came out of his shell for me. I have never noticed the side of him that i saw tonight and i like it. It really amused me when Howie was explain how amazing Lou Pearlmens how was a a fan shouted "you paid for it" even the bsb couldn't help but laugh. Other moments that made me laugh were when the question what three things could you not lie without popped up and nobody said each other. Somebody brought this up though an Howie said " well of cause i need these guys to help me pay the mortgage on my house" to which Brian replies in true showbiz fashion "you still have mortgage?". There were many other moments i could go on forever like Nick thinking if you look in the mirror for more than ten seconds you are vain, so he counts to ten when he does his hair. Of cause that might not be true, but funny anyway. So people had some amazing questions, I am hoping to find a video of the Q&A to add on here cos if you are a bsb fan it is worth watching. I o have one video though which i will add when i get chance of them answering my question "If you were in my position asking someone you admire a question who and what would the question be?" I couldn't believe how stumped they were. They all just sat there. I think this may have been because there was a question before saying who's cruise would you go on? and maybe they saw the question as the same. They were about to move on but then Nick stopped them saying he would like to answer because he thought it was a good question. He gave a very long winded answer saying simply that he would like to ask Oblama what he knows. Which was a very good answer, which was quickly followed by Brian blurting out "I would ask Tiger Woods, Why did you get married?" which get a huge cheer.
I was so happy they answered my question. This cruise is turning out to be so much more than what we originally thought it would be. I just wish it wasn't so short. It's weird to think that we are just getting in to it and it is half way through. I could definitely live like this forever but as its not we have to make the most of it. This meant more free food and so hot.....well...tub action. Thinking that on a nice, not very warm but OK evening it might be nice to jump into the hot tub to warm up. We were unpleasantly surprised to find out it was...well...it was kind of heated, but still cold though. We stuck it out for as long as possible and even tried out the pool. It was no good though we were soon rushing back for a warm shower and getting ready for the Captains dinner.
This was the first time we had been to a formal dinner on board the ship. I was packed, we waited for ages to be seated, but the service was quick and i had a lovely steak dinner followed by cherries and ice cream. After we eat the waiters all surround the table and sang to us all. So of the bsb also go up to dance. It was crazy. When we left the waiter that served us told us to come back as the next day they were all going to dance. So we can look forward to that.
The masquerade part didn't start to 12, I knew from this it was probably going to short one. It was more of the same really lots of bsb songs played the boys, just as drunk dancing around. Nick came down to the bar wearing a really scary mask which covered his whole face and was licking the edges of cups as he served the drinks. Everyone was going crazy. Aj and Nick announced that they were probably going to come round to all the rooms tonight to see everyone. So when every they went out of sight everyone wondered where they were.
Eventually though the party died down. Me and Nicky went back to our room hoping the boys would come, but after a while i got agitated and decided to check out what was going on on the ship. I first headed up to the deck, Nick was still there now DJing. He played pretty much the whole of his album while i stood on the top deck of the ship just looking around. Trying to take in what was actually happening. Toward the end he played I got you and i stood looking over the side of the boat thinking about how lucky i was. I love that song.
I was starting to get late though. Everyone in the VIP area was looking rather gone and many had retired. Nick was the only bsb left standing. Or so i believed until i went down back to the cabins. There i was amused by a handful of people standing by the elevators waiting for Nick to come down. They knew he had to come from floor 10 so i could hear them shouting as i walk around was "its stopped at 10..look". just wondering around the ship in a daze i also noticed that AJ was in fact still up and was venturing around all the cabins. So with this thought i decide to head back up and wait to see if he comes. On my way up i did catch Nick coming back down to all the fan waiting. The security guard was shouting "no photos!" though, so they waited for nothing. When i got to our room Nicky was asleep and soon so was i. I have no idea if they came round or not cos it was 5 in the morning and i need to catch up on sleep.

Love this lil' island of ours!
We live on the most beautiful island. We love being right in the city, but not. The parks, gardens, lighthouse, kids, hearing the buzz of the city, it's all perfect. Our hearts and souls love this growing experience. It makes up for the pain our wallets feel. We wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world though. Also, I got a job. I'm so thrilled about it. And feeling so blessed. Im excited to see what it brings.
We took a lovely walk today. This is what it looked like...

Conf 652: A (Short) Return to Fiction
I wrote a page of fiction the other day.
I've been so immersed in the non-fiction side it felt weird - but, yes, refreshing.
I then dug out my old file of 40,000 words of children's/YA (young adult) novel and read a random chapter at my writing group. I stopped writing it after my agent's children's department rejected it. I should never have sent it so early. But, as somebody said, the 'composting' has done it some good. It needs a total restructure and lots of rewriting but I'm looking forward going back in. In (ha) my spare moments.
Meantime it's all go in ebook and non-fiction land. I was interviewed for Woman's Hour the other day. Sadly I didn't make the final programme (it was a Jenni Murray day as well). Being more concerned with chemicals in the home than neat and tidyness, I wasn't quite right for the Art of Housework debate (and if they'd seen the state of this flat!). However, I was hugely flattered to have been considered and 100 brownie points to my ebook's seriously good publicist. It does go to show how the whole world of publicity and communications is what authors need to embrace. To up your chances of getting anywhere, having a pro pushing your work forward has to be a continuum rather than a short-term strategy.
I've just been on my non-fiction blog recommending some budget Christmas gift ideas. If you're a kitchen gadget person at all I'd LOVE to hear your top 3 kitchen gadgets of all time if you've got a moment. Thank you!
Bye bye, thanks for visiting, come again soon.

Ooh, sorry - me again! You've got me going now ...!
We bought a wooden salad server tool ages ago at a Farmers' Market which looks like nothing, but is fabulously clever. It's hard to describe and people look at it in confusion until we show them how to use it and then they all love it! - it's hinged so one way it's just two lengths of nice wood side by side, but when you turn it the other way it has a spring so you can use it easily for grabbing your salad. No idea what it's called though! - 10:09 am

Liberty: Project won't trigger 30 percent rate increase
January 17, 2014
Liberty Utilities is defending its proposed power line project, arguing it is needed and would increase rates less than some project opponents have been saying.
The three-phase, estimated $46 million project would upgrade and realign a loop of major transmission lines serving the company's North Tahoe customers. The lines are some of the oldest in California and don't have enough capacity to reliably serve even existing peak winter demands for electricity, according to the company.
Some people opposed to the project have warned that, with the company's small base of about 49,000 customers, the project would cause electricity rates to increase 20 to 30 percent.
Not so, said Mike Smart, the utility's president, and Ken Wittman, its manager of regulatory affairs.
"As a rule of thumb, for about every $10 million we added to the rate base, rates went up about two percent," Wittman said.
That would mean increases of about 10 percent after all three phases are built and operational over the next five to 10 years, assuming the California Public Utilities Commission lets Liberty Utilities recoup all of the cost through rate increases, Smart and Wittman said.
The first phase — a rebuild and partial realignment of its 650 transmission line — is estimated to cost $17 million.
The company aims to complete that phase this year, with substation modifications in Truckee, Northstar and Kings Beach completed in 2015 or 2016 and completion of a realigned 625 line with Squaw Valley and Tahoe City substation modifications in 2018 or 2019.
Rate increases could vary by customer class, with residential, industrial and commercial customers paying different shares — an issue that would have to be sorted out by CPUC.
That's just the potential rate increase for the proposed projects, however. Smart cautions other cost increases could factor into Liberty Utilities' next general rate case in 2015.
According to Wittman, the company asked for about $16 million in its last general rate case in 2012 and got about $12 million, triggering about a 4 percent average rate increase.
"My next case may be more. Wages have gone up, insurance benefits. There are new trucks out there. I could ask for $30 million in the next case, with $17 million for that line," Smart said. "I don't want to set anybody up by saying our next case is going to be 2 percent. No. If phase one goes it will be two, plus."
There's also the question of if or how the project is approved by several permitting agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the CPUC. Five alternatives were identified in a draft environmental impact report prepared for the project.
"Prices could go up or down depending on where you're pushing me or pulling me. But for the preferred alternative, alternative four, those are the numbers we're playing with," Smart said of the cost.
At the end of the day, the project would require a rate increase, just not 20 to 30 percent as some have claimed. "Nobody likes an increase," Smart said.
Liberty Utilities has prepared a question and answer document about the project. It is available online under news at http://www.libertyutilities.com/west/. Additional information about the project is available through TRPA.

Bombers Over Lake Nokomis
My favorite photo of Lake Nokomis was taken in 1932. The true subject of the photo was a squadron of Martin bombers visiting Wold-Chamberlain Field from Langley Field, Virginia, but beneath them is a fascinating scene of park developments.
The photographer isn't listed in the Minnesota Historical Society's database, but it may have been taken by J. E. Quigley Aerial Photography. Quigley produced most of the other aerial photos of Minneapolis from that era.
The bare ground at the left wingtip of the middle plane is the Hiawatha Golf Course under construction. The course didn't open until 1934. Dredging in Lake Hiawatha had just been completed in 1931.
It doesn't show up well at this size, but the Nokomis Beach is packed (beneath the front airplane). You can see the diving towers in the lake.
Also note how barren the Nokomis lakeshore is. It had been created from lake dredgings only 15 years earlier.
The dredge fill settled for four years before it was cleared of brush and willows that had grown up in the intervening years and the land was graded for athletic fields. The huge piles of brush in the background were burned. Of course the land was graded by horse teams. Even with that much time for the dredge fill to settle before it was graded, the playing fields continued to settle and were re-graded in the 1930s as a WPA project.
Even after ten years of tree growth, the lake shore doesn't look very shaded in the 1932 photo.
The Cedar Avenue Bridge at the bottom of the aerial photo was the subject of great debate at the park board, Minneapolis City Council, the Hennepin County Board and Village Council of Richfield in the 1910s. Park superintendent Theodore Wirth's plan for the improvement of Lake Nokomis in the 1912 annual report included rerouting Cedar Avenue around the southwest corner of the lake to eliminate a "very unsightly" wooden bridge over the edge of lake at the time. Even though the park board owned all the shores of the lake and the lake bed, the south end of the lake was then in Richfield, which is why the county and Richfield were involved in decisions on the bridge. Despite the park board position that building a bridge would be more expensive and less attractive, it was built — and paid for with Minneapolis bond funds — partly due to opposition by Richfield landowners to plans to reroute Cedar. By 1926 that line of opposition would have been partially removed when Minneapolis annexed about a mile-wide strip of Richfield that placed all of Lake Nokomis inside Minneapolis city limits.

WinBOX is a Secure GUI/ Graphical Client used to configure MikroTik Routerboards and CCR routers
Winbox version 3.1.11 has the following features;
Quick Start Guide
1. Connect your Windows computer directly to the router with an Ethernet cable, or connect them throught a switch.
2. Run Winbox program (Download from above), then click the [...] button.
3. The Winbox tool should find your Router anddisplay it's MAC address. * (If not see some troubleshooting below)
4. Click on the mac address part of the trext in the scan window. This will load the mac address into the connect to text box.
5. Press Connect and the Winbox GUI interface will be loaded up.
6. It is always advisable to configure an IP address on the interface you are connected to on. Once you have a valid ip address on the router that is reachable by your PC you should close down Winbox and reconnect by entering the IP address into the conect to box in in the Winbox loader rather than the Mac address that you originally connnected. the reason for this is whe connected via the Mac layer communication is carried out via broacast traffic. This is a very unreliable method and may cause unexected disconnects from time to time. When you connect via an IP address you will have a more stabe TCP router connection to the router.
If the router is not showing up when you click the [...] button the following may be why:
Your Windows firewall may be blocking the Mac Broadcasting - Try turning off your firewall both the windows or any other commericial one that you may have installed, and or try adding winbox to the exception list in your firewall (see notes above)
The above is a tempory fix as it is adisable to configure your firewall to allow the winbox tool to work.
2) Another possible problem is if you are connected throught a managed switch that has broadcast storm control features it may be required to relax the broadcast threshold on the switch as a switch may mistake the large amount of broadcast traffis as a misconfigured network and start to block the traffic

Security Experts Ditch RSA Conference Over NSA Report
A handful of security experts have bowed out of the February 2014 RSA Conference amidst recent allegations that RSA colluded with the National Security Agency.
Following December reports that the government agency paid $10 million to the RSA to create a "back door" into protected data, at least eight analysts said they would not attend the conference, citing disapproval of NSA's alleged misconduct.
According to the Wall Street Journal, those speakers include: Mikko Hyppӧnen, F-Secure chief research officer; Christopher Soghoian, American Civil Liberties Union senior policy analyst; Josh Thomas, a partner at Atredis Partners; and Jeffrey Carr, chief executive of Taia Global.
The Washington Post, meanwhile, added to that lineup Google software security engineer Chris Palmer and senior staff software engineer Adam Langley, as well as digital rights lawyer Marcia Hofmann and Mozilla's Alex Fowler.
Hyppӧnen was among the first to pull out, explaining in a Dec. 23 open letter to the RSA and EMC chiefs that he will not deliver his talkironically titled "Governments as Malware Authors."
"I don't really expect your multibillion dollar company or your multimillion dollar conference to suffer as a result of your deals with the NSA," the Finnish security researcher said. "In fact, I'm not expecting other conference speakers to cancel."
But cancel they did: Palmer, Carr, Soghoian, Thomas, and Langley all took to Twitter to announce their plan.
Sadly, I feel morally obligated to pull my talk from @RSAConference. True or not, reports today make me ?? trust when I should not have to.
— Josh Thomas (@m0nk_dot) December 20, 2013
"I think it's vitally important that those of us who profoundly object to RSA's $10 million secret contract with the NSA do more than just tweet our outrage," Carr wrote in a Jan. 3 blog post. "We need to take action."
I've given up waiting for RSA to fess up to the truth re: the NSA and Dual_EC. I've just withdrawn from my panel at the RSA conference.
— Christopher Soghoian (@csoghoian) January 7, 2014
Reports of a partnership between RSA and the NSA surfaced in late December, alleging that the NSA paid $10 million to the security software provider to create a "back door" in its encryption products that would give the agency access to protected RSA data.
Days later, the company "categorically" denied that it knowingly incorporated a flawed formula for generating random numbers in its BSAFE product as part of a contract with the NSA. But it did not directly deny that $10 million exchanged hands.
The RSA news comes from the data dump by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. That also impacted another high-profile conference: last summer, organizers of the annual Defcon conference rescinded their invitation to federal authorities.
"When it comes to sharing and socializing with feds, recent revelations have made many in the community uncomfortable about this relationship," organizers said in July, calling a "time-out" for the government, which had made many appearances at Defcon in the years prior.

Drywall patches are widely offered at home remodeling shops that comprise of a skinny metal mesh with a sticky backing. The metal mesh provides support for the drywall spackle.

Some of the most difficult part was working on the extension ladder to reach the high ceiling.

Nevada-Las Vegas Team Notes
Rebels fade badly after strong start
A 26-win season under a first-year coach usually is considered an unbelievably strong season.
That doesn't necessarily ring true for Nevada-Las Vegas after a one-and-done showing in the NCAA tournament.
Rebels coach Dave Rice inherited a powerhouse squad from Lon Kruger and UNLV appeared to be Sweet 16 good if not better after a strong first half that included a solid victory over then-No. 1 North Carolina.
But the Rebels (26-9) faded badly and went 5-6 over their last 11 games, including an NCAA tournament loss to Colorado that wasn't anywhere as close as the four-point margin of defeat.
UNLV trailed by 20 points before making a late comeback to create a painful ending to the once-bright campaign.
"It's disappointing," guard Anthony Marshall said. "I think I'm more hurtful for our seniors, not getting them out of the first round. They laid the foundation for us and stuff so we've got a lot to build off of and just get ready for next year."
The Rebels will again have a potent squad in Rice's second season on the job. Marshall and forward Mike Moser are returning double-digit scorers and the addition of high-profile transfer Khem Birch figures to make UNLV even more dangerous.
Expectations will call for UNLV to return to the NCAA tournament and a threat to advance deep. But who knows what to expect after this year's Rebels look capable of making a sustained run.
"I have a group that is very disappointed in the locker room and is ready to get back to work," Rice said. "I've got a number of recruits that are excited to get to campus and get going with the next season. I just think it's a situation where there are special things that are happening and this is just the start.
"We're disappointed with how it ended for our seniors. We wanted to continue on. We felt like we had a team that could have played a little bit longer."
--The Rebels haven't won an NCAA tournament game since defeating Kent State in 2008 and shot the ball poorly against Colorado. UNLV shot 32.4 percent from the field -- its second-worst showing of the season -- and 52.9 percent from the free throw line.
--Sophomore forward Mike Moser will return for his junior season and will be one of the top players in the Mountain West. He was the prime candidate for Mountain West Player of the Year honors before fading late in the season. Junior guard Anthony Marshall was a second-team choice, while senior guard Oscar Bellfield and senior forward Chace Stanback were third-team selections.
FINAL RECORD: 26-9, 9-5, third place in Mountain West.
2011-12 SEASON RECAP: UNLV began the season strong and opened eyes nationally with an impressive victory over North Carolina. The Rebels eventually improved to 16-2 with the losses coming on the road to NCAA tourney teams Wichita State and Wisconsin. Blemishes arose during Mountain West play and the need to go overtime in back-to-back games to beat lowly Boise State and Air Force turned out to be UNLV's only road victories in conference play. The Rebels lost in their home building to New Mexico in the conference tournament before the NCAA tournament loss.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "One of our main goals next year will be to play better away from the Thomas & Mack Center. We're extremely proud of winning. We went undefeated in the regular season on our home floor. But we need to play better away from the Thomas & Mack Center. We'll do that." -- UNLV coach Dave Rice.
THE GOOD NEWS: The Rebels re-established their identity as a fast-paced exciting squad that will resonate in a town like Las Vegas that appreciates high-octane basketball. UNLV didn't run as often in recent seasons and coach Dave Rice spiked up the offensive attack and the Rebels will again be an intriguing option for upper recruits. Too many good prep players have left the Las Vegas area in recent years and Rice's local ties and brand of basketball will help in that regard.
THE BAD NEWS: Point guard Oscar Bellfield is out of eligibility. Bellfield set a Mountain West record with 582 career assists and could always be counted on to provide heady defense and top-notch leadership. Identifying a point guard on Bellfield's level won't be easy but might be coach Dave Rice's biggest offseason chore.
KEY RETURNEES: Forward Mike Moser averaged a double-double (14.0 points, 10.5 rebounds) and guard Anthony Marshall (12.2) also is a returning starter. Defensive ace Justin Hawkins is back, as are frontcourt role players Carlos Lopez and Quintrell Thomas.
--Sophomore F Mike Moser had 15 double-doubles and should be one of the top players on the West Coast again next season.
--Senior PG Oscar Bellfield finished his career with 207 career 3-pointers, tying Joe Darger (2005-09) for fourth most in school history.
--Senior F Chace Stanback ended his UNLV career by failing to score in double figures in five consecutive games.

"My course in Naples has come to an end." Walter Mazzarri says goodbye at the end of the Serie A championship. He will no longer be Napoli's manager and while explaining his choice he thanks both the Club and all the fans.
"The moment has come to take a little break and think. Napoli is an amazing reality, I am leaving because after four years I need new motivation, also the for players. I said goodbye to them and to the President in the locker room. I was really movedm having to hugging everybody."
"I thank our fans and all those who have supported me throughout these wonderful years. I made this decision some time ago. However, I respected everybody because I wanted the team to give its best until the end, as it happened. I took Napoli as on top as I could, I put all my efforts into this tea and I think that I carried out my task in a correct way."
"I thank De Laurentiis and Bigon, who tried to persuade me to change my mind, but I think that the moment has come either to take some months off or to engage somewhere else. It will depend on the offers. Naples has got an important treasure and a solid and healthy Club, so I am sure there is a great future ahead here."
