Reviews of this property
It was a very nice apartment where everything was excellent. I had some very nice days. hope I will be back.
Really nice flat in Mitte, very close to a station, shops, baker and some clubs (although we didn't go to them). We enjoyed our stay very much. Danke!
Very nice and clean apartment. Very covinient as the appartment is very close to the centre and also has an underground station just 2 minutes away.
The staff receiving is very nice and helpful.
Thank you very much for everything.
We have a very good time in Berlin! It was a very nice apartment, quiet, clean en complete! The location is very near the centre of Berlin en we have our parking
near the apartment. Thanks for the very good accomodation in Berlin.

I stayed in this very central flat in the heart of Berlin, close to the line that once divided east from west for 10 days.
The location couldn't be better for access to the U Bahn system, and the entire city. There are also excellent restaurants nearby. The apartment was clean, bright, well appointed and the rent was in my opinion very fair.
If I'm back in Berlin I would stay here again.
Fine local position, excellent service, but the appartment needs a smaller gentle looking after.
We had at nice stay in the apartment in Heinrich Heine Strasse. It was close to the U-Bahn and Alexander Platz, so it was easy for us to go to the places that we wanted to see.
Everything was great! Bright, clean, quiet and best location for things to do in Berlin.
Thank you for the baby bed - and the little one has felt very good.
Easy handling - simply recommended!
Alles Super ! Hell, sauber, ruhig und beste Lage für Unternehmungen in Berlin.
Vielen Dank für das Babybett - auch der Kleine hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt.
Unkomplizierte Abwicklung - einfach empfehlenswert !
The apartment was great! She has offered everything you need for a stay in Berlin.
It is centrally located (just two stops from Alexanderplatz).
Every time again!
Die Wohnung war super! Sie hat alles geboten, was man für einen Aufenthalt in Berlin benötigt.
Sie ist zentral gelegen (nur zwei Stationen vom Alexanderplatz entfernt).

In all seriousness, we are better off giving his roster spot to an undrafted free agent even who can play special teams. The guy had one good game during his entire 4 years here with us, bye bye Barden.
In all seriousness, we are better off giving his roster spot to an undrafted free agent even who can play special teams. The guy had one good game during his entire 4 years here with us, bye bye Barden.
oh, if what to do with Barden was actually one of the most critical decisions facing this team.
instead i have to wonder if we can afford a starting left tackle, if Bear Pascoe is our new starting TE, and what do we do if JPP can't get out of his slump next year.............
http://www.pro-football-reference.co...M/McCaEd00.htm. Lets not forget that in Denver he had Elway and in NY he had Hostettler and Simms throwing to him and the Giants were not a passing team them and they also had Mark Ingram and Steven Baker as 1 &2 WRs. Not to forget that for 2 seasons was under this "brilliant" coach named Ray Hundley. When you look his numbers you can see that he did very well for a rookie and I was really surprised that Dan Reeves did not see his talent.
I know this is a Barden thread, but I think his and Jernigan's spots are both up for grabs. Jernigan has showed me absolutely nothing. At least Barden had one good game.
His production declined after a stellar game against Carolina because Hixon returned. Hixon didn't play against Carolina but he did the next week against the Eagles where he got 11 targets.
I feel like we could have used him in the redzone this year. He showed that he could elevate against Carolina and catch the ball very high. Instead the majority of the fades were thrown to Nicks when he could barely jump...Needless to say Tynes was our MVP for at least portion of the season.

I'd keep Barden and move him to TE. He's 6'6 227. Have him gain 20 pounds with some muscle and he'll be a mismatch for defenses. Aaron Hernandez of the Pats is 6'1 245 pounds. The Pats are successful because they take cast-offs and put them in positions to shine. Before letting Barden walk, try him at TE with 20 pounds added and see what you have. What do you have to lose? Sign him to a non-guarenteed contract and see what you got.


text: My own training, was we get more honey overall, if all hives are equal. So we did kind of the opposite of what we are being told Tim does. In spring, before any supers were added, all hives in the yard were equalised. IE, strong ones that might swarm had brood and bees taken, and this was given to the weak. A few months later when the hives were stacked with boxes, there were no duds or poor performers. So, none swarmed, none didn't produce, and none had to haul honey through excessively huge stacks of boxes, the production capacity of all was maximised.

now what is the best cheap scope?
now i got my eye on a zeiss conquest 3-9x 40mm with #4 german in it for $375
now here is what screws that up SWFA has the minox 1.5-8x 32 german #4 for $279
the ZA5 is minox top of the line and the zeiss is the middle ground.
to make it more confusing the minox in that size and mag in a zeiss is like $1600 while the zeiss is the standard big deer woods scope.
zeiss is a big name --has better resale if i need to cash it in. minox though well respected in the world ain't as known in the USA.
maybe i should just get a tasco?

"That looks like fun to make. They would make really cute favors for a "tea party" for young girls. I always think Christmas, though, so I would make a few in Christmas colors and hang on the tree, with those tiny peppermint canes and whatever other small candies I could find. This goes on my list!"
"So cute and so creative! I didn't know you could stick marshmallows on glass. I love that these are vanilla milkshakes (my favorite). After I celebrate the 4th of July with my red and blue milkshakes, I think I will venture into other colors. Think how awesome a purple milkshake will look!"
"Well, I am very happy to see this idea. I love pinwheels, and I have a lot of patriotic-themed scrapbook paper. I will make several pinwheels and attach them to a grapevine wreath I have already. Thank you for the great idea. I have just the wall space to hang this. I love that I already have the supplies!"
"I have several plain vases I've kept because I just can't get rid of them. You know how it is, I will use them some day... I love this idea as a decoration to keep out all summer. It also gets me thinking about drawing fall leaves on one vase and putting fall flowers in it. This opens up lots of ways to use vases from the dollar store."
"Oh my, this is a beautiful cake! I love the idea of decorating a cake with pie filling. I would want a slice that has each kind of filling, too. This will make a great Memorial Day dessert. My family will think I am making three pies when they see I bought three different kinds of fillings. Lovely dessert!"

I still love to color Easter eggs, even though my family is grown. I think tie-dye is my favorite way to color eggs because each one turns out so unique. Being a fan of tie-dye, in general, does influence me, too. I will shop for my eggs this weekend. I just love everything Easter!

Fantastic view, Good bed, a little bit shabby but clean, perfect contact,
We had a great stay at his condo before our cruise. It was just as advertised and anything we needed was only a phone call away.
It was very clean when we arrived and the beds are very comfortable.
The condo is in a great location within walking distance to the CBD and Darling Harbour. We will defiantly be staying here again when we come back to Sydney.
Fabulous apartment, very spacious and clean, with a gorgeous view of the bridge and cityscape, lovely little touches by the host made us feel at home, very secure building and parking made all the difference I will definitely be booking this apartment again in the future
Appartment is very good located and has space enough for 4 to 5 people (one bedroom for adults, the other bedroom rather for 2-3 kids). Great is tennis-court and pool on the rooftop with amazing few.
The price was rather high and for this, in our opinion all details shoud be perfect (like dishwashing machine must work correctly, all lights should work, no broken chairs).
Very nice spacious apartment with a fantastic view of Sydney. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay.
We stayed at the apartment in April 2015 (2 adults and 2 children) and found it to be excellent. Great location (handy to transport and also easy to walk into town and around), great facilities, spacious, very comfortable and very clean and tidy. The one negative was dealing with Peter and his office staff. When asking for clarification or assistance, they were very defensive and their general communication was not great. Once they sort that out, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment as a great place to stay.
A perfect apartment with a perfect location.
The location is very good. you can walk to most sightseeging points. But the appartment is very small ald old.
when we arrived the phone lay down on the floor amd the kitchen was dirty. the room is also very dark there is no possibilitiy for sunlight to come in. so you dont est at home because its really not nice. There is no possibilty for wireless. Also the owner wasn't really kind. we ask if you could check out a little bit later or if could
place our
baggage somewere. they just wrote back: "no", like in alot other situation. for that the price is really to hight also the cleaningfee of AUD 130 is way to
much for that little room.
The stay was comfortable & the location was very convenient. Thanks Peter :)
The apartment is in a good position, near the metro station, on bus routes, just a few minutes walk from Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, The Botanic Gardens and Central Station. Comfortable and well equipped though a bit dated. The weather was cold and the heating took a long time to warm the apartment up. The weather also meant we weren't able to take advantage of the large balcony. During our stay the hotel pool area was being refurbished but I'm sure it will be a great asset. There was nowhere to leave luggage after checking out, the hotel staff were friendly but we weren't treated as guests. There is a Thai restaurant on the ground floor which was very good.

UTSA student Laura Morales with CNN tech man
UTSA student interviewed on CNN show
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Aug. 29, 2007)--UTSA was in the national spotlight last week when CNN's "American Morning" show featured the 1604 Campus as part of its "College Week" segment.
Junior public relations major Laura Elizabeth Morales presented her Republican conservative views on issues of importance in the upcoming 2008 election. The opposing Democratic response came from Rachel Moore, a Lebanon Valley College senior in Anneville, Pa.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
View a video of the CNN story (Real Media format).
Morales cited social security as the most important issue on which students should focus in next year's election. She pledged her support for Texas Republican Ron Paul because "he tends to stick to the Constitution," an issue important to conservative voters.
Moore pulled for all Democratic candidates in 2008 and said the environment and universal health care are the key issues in the election.
Chairman of the UTSA Young Conservatives of Texas, Morales is from McAllen, Texas, and was chosen for the CNN appearance after completing an internship last summer with the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute in Washington, D.C.
During the internship, Morales served as a panelist for immigration reform and will appear in a video to raise awareness on the issue and urge high school students to register to vote.

On Saturday, May 17, Yolo County residents can receive a free motor oil filter when they recycle their used one at any AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts store in Yolo County or Napa Auto Parts (Pisani's) in Winters.
Rosie Ledesma, conservation coordinator for the city's Public Works Department, said there is a limit of two exchanges per resident, while supplies last. A new filter must be comparable in quality and cost to the used oil filter recycled. Participating stores may ask you to fill out a recycling pledge form before exchanging the filter.
The city's environmental services staff will also be onsite at the Woodland AutoZone and O'Reilly stores from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with free oil collection containers, funnels, and oil rags for participating residents.
The filter exchange and oil change supplies are made possible by a grant from CalRecycle.
"Most people know to recycle their used motor oil rather than dump it down drains or in their backyard, but there are still a lot of people who don't know that their oil filters can be recycled too," said Ledesma. "Getting a free new filter in exchange for recycling your old one is a way for people to make that first step to start recycling their filters."
Each year California generates 67 million used automotive filters per year. The filters are considered hazardous waste and are banned from landfills; however, they are also completely recyclable. Each filter has about a pound of re-usable steel. Before it is drained, an oil filter can contain over a pint of used oil. All the filters sold annually in California can be recycled into 67 million pounds of steel, enough to build three large sports stadiums.
AutoZone and O'Reilly Auto Parts in Woodland accept used oil and filters for recycling daily.

I having worked as a heavy equipment mechanic for over 35 years I would like to add to this. 1st point is look at what almost every piece of AG. equipment and almost every piece of heavy equipment in the world uses for power. Diesel for lots of reasons. What moves a piece of equipment? Torque and a lot of it. Here is where a diesel shines. The ability to run for extended periods of time at not just full throttle but at full torque output as well. And yes some gasoline engines come close to what a diesel will do, And the operative word here is close. Most notably would be the gas engines used in heliocopters in there early years. The drawback to those are the really short TBO's (Time between overhauls) 2,500 hrs at the most. And very expensive to rebuild to boot. Whereas diesels in the Ag and construction industrys often see 10,000 hrs or more before overhaul. Add to that the one factor that keeps diesels firmly in the equipment of the world is they are very efficient for the torque produced and fuel burned they are hard to beat. One type of engine that does do that (Beat the diesel) Is a gas turbine. And they can come in small packages with high hp outputs. But they are hugely expensive to build and to maintain. If that wasn't the case then why aren't they used more. They too have short TBO's compared to diesels and are probably way to complex to put out in the field plowing. Not to mention the dust would kill them real fast. I do have quite a bit of experience with turbines as I used to work for GE in their marine propulsion division. The perfect environment for a turbine in there isn't much dust to deal with. But they are hardly used in marine propulsion. Why too expensive to operate.
Number 2 Are you going to drive this ag. tractor with hydraulics? Have you computed in the frictional losses from that many hydraulic pumps and motors? If you are going to have a drive motor in each wheel then the losses would be staggering. I think that you would need closer to 800 of a 1000 hp to function. One thought that comes to mind and would meet most of your requirements would be electrical drive. That way You could have several small generator sets that for cost reasons and the ability to sync together and to have variable speed would almost have to be DC generators. With dc drive motors in the wheels. The real problem with either electric or hydraulic drive is the cost. Hydraulic motors and pumps are very expensive to buy and the so are electric motors and generators. So that leaves mechanical drive. Lots of chains and sprockets or shafts and belt's to drive that many wheels, That to sounds pretty expensive too. And very labor intensive to keep running. Have You ever been around a baler of a combine. It takes a lot to keep them running. Lots of gears and pulleys and chains and belts. And costs with all of them. And ultimately cost is everything because you have to be able to sell your product, unless this is just for you. I am NOT saying this to discourage you far far from it. Almost every successful invention ever made has come from inside the industry that it was meant for. Racing is a good example for the forum we are on now. Racers gave us seat belts, rearview mirrors, high speed tires including radials, dry sump oiling systems and many more. So I am not discouraging you at all. I am just trying to give you some things to think about. And one of the things I see is that you will almost have to redesign this to use a larger engine and it will probably end up being a diesel. I do know what I'm talking about here as I have successfully prototyped many mechanical products over the years including some electrical products. I have also wrote a regular advice column on finding someone to prototype products and how to do prototyping yourself for the web site American Inventor Spot. And that was part of the TV show American Inventor. I don't want to see you fail, but also don't want to see you spend money you don't have to. I really hope this helps Bill
|The Following User Says Thank You to Ironpony For This Useful Post:
boggen (03-26-2013)
ya, i have kinda gotten away from turbine engines. i really had no choice but not look at them, due to small dimensions and HP they produced.
i am kinda hard pressed gas vs diesel at moment, i know i would prefer diesel. but i am so far out of my experience, and knowledge, of engines, that trying to understand, it is to point, i am making it up as i go. perhaps bad, perhaps good. no way for me to judge. without input. and i thank you for that.
i think i can still get my 20 inches width x 20 inches tall. for most part i been heading in direction of, trying to find a single large engine, to drive 60 foot width tractor. with say up to 16 plus wheels more likey 24 to 32 wheels possibly. but as i am finding out. that many HP of an engine just not gong to happen.
i still have an option. i already have 4 sections that make up 60 feet. i can place that say 600HP, up into 4 smaller engines. so now i am looking more at say 150HP engine to fit in a 20" inches wide x 20" inches tall. this is being more favorable for this SSTT and what engines are out there on the market already.
ya i would be duplicating everything 4 different times per each 60 foot errr for each 13 foot section. but that really is not all end. for smaller fields that can be a large plus. and for larger fields, being able to say hookup another 13 foot section, for say 73 feet. would not be that bad on additional cost vs having to buy a complete new set of tractors and implements. for just that little bit more. extra duplication also allows for "backup" if one engine goes down, maybe there is enough from other engines to keep on going.
while i was hoping to avoid above going with a single larger HP engine, *hey i had to see if it was possible, i did not know any better at the time*
ya i know about hydraulic issues, more so if all the wheels hub motors were hydraulic. the pure amount of GPM (gallons per minute) would quickly over whelm most things. and by the time i upped the inside diameter of pipe, and then upped the hydrualic pumps to produce a high enough pressure at the higher GPM. i would be getting into some major friction losses just trying to move that amount of fluid, let alone trying to place regulators on everything. to try and even out both pressure and GPM going to each wheel.
no way to use shafts, sprockets, chains, gears. would be a bloody nightmare on this tractor. and would cause to much slop at things furthest away from the engine. there would most likely be binding issues, twisting shaft issues, etc...
electrical wheel hub motors. give me a few more PRO's vs hydraulic. more so in finite control of RPM's and torque. i am hesitant of both A/C and D/C. and current doings out there. i have full control over the generator, and wheel hub motors. so i can run at any volts, any amount of phases, at any frequency i want. along with at any amps i want. and in all thought. i think i am going to use that to my benefit. of not needing to tie to a given standard of.... 110v, or 220v or 12,24,36,72 volts
the only exception is needing a standard 12V to deal with electronics, and road lights.
to above it will be a variable volts/amps/frequency at a certain amount of phases across the entire machine. with a 12v beside it.
if i do not approach things as dynamically changing volts/amps/frequency across entire machine. then i don't think i will have a chance of pulling things off. at least for the generator that would supply electricity to wheel hub motors.
there most likely will be inline filters (think regulators for hydraulics or fluid or gas), but to control amount of bad electricity (odd frequency, odd amps, odd volts)
to be honest i am not there yet, to actually figure electrical all out.
engines with generator/s and electrical wheel hub motors.
i am actually not worried about torque vs RPM's. torque x RPMs / 5210 = HP correct? i mean as long as i reach my HP requirement, and an engine that can withstand continuous heavy load placed on it. i really do not care what RPM's or torque it produces. like i said, i am not trying tie myself to a standard of 110v, 220v, 12,24, etc... volts. the only exception is the 12v that run along side. but i am looking for a dynamically changing variable volts/amps/frequency, at a given number of phases.
i am not really looking at regenerative braking, while that would be a plus. i am not counting on it to recharge batteries like a regular electrical car out there.
at this point in time, cost is last on list, it is just me at this point in time. and needing a team. but at this point it is concept, and trying to see what could work. and what would be needed to make it work. multi other things need to happen before cost of things will most likely get involved. to see were corners might be cut, or something else done. no real reason to have some bean counter saying OMG that is to expensive and creating an up war over things. when there no direct way to get a estimated cost atleast by myself. it is the other folks that are needed though in a team. that i am seriously lacking at moment.
ya electrical wheel hub motors are expensive, but so are physical transmissions, final drives. pick your poison. some areas are going to be more costly than current age tractors, while others it will be zero. and its not just tractor but also portions of implement costs, that might become null and void. with this SSTT and implements to go with it. that i am hoping will offset things enough to make it near current age tractors and the implements that go with them. there a lot of metal and weight that should be removed from the overall setup compared to current age tractors and implements.
You say cost is last on your list. If your intention is to build something competitive with the other Ag. tractors out there then it should be first on your list. And here is why, everybody in the business world has to be able to make a profit to survive. If your tractor costs 2 times what your nearest competition does because of the costs associated with up to 15 drive motors and generators or hydraulics or whatever. Then Your tractor has to make slightly more than 2 times the production in order to entice someone to buy yours over your competition. or it won't sell. Of course this rule doesn't always apply. A good example would be if John Deere was to build this product instead of you they would sell some simply because they would be John Deere green. So You must always keep the costs of a product in mind when trying to bring a product to market. I'm not talking about development costs but production costs and operating costs for the end user. I will take Caterpiller tractor company as a example here. Most folks don't know that Caterpiller started out as a offshoot of the John Deere company. (Do some reading on line about the Holt tractor company and the history of Caterpiller). And what We call a dozer today started out as a Ag. tractor. In a effort to put more horsepower to the ground, But alas it was considered to be too costly to use tracks for Ag. use. Now fast forward to today and you will see Caterpiller Ag. tractors being used on farms around the world. And some of them use rubber tracks (Challenger Tractors come to mind.) John Deere has also joined this game by offering rubber tracked Ag. tractors for sale too in recent years. But neither one sells very good. Because of their complexity for one thing and the cost of building them is higher than a wheeled tractor, And that means they cost more at the dealership. And speaking of Caterpiller tractor co. Cat has been working on electric drive dozers for some time now. And according to them one of the big motivations behind electric drive is emissions. A engine running at a constant speed is much easier to get in to emissions standards. And remember Cat builds locomotive engines for the railroad. And they are having problems with them. But after reading your post I think you have come to the same conclusions about powering this tractor. I have been involved in prototyping some very large and expensive equipment in the past. One of those items was directional drilling machines. A very cheep directional drilling machine would cost 5 to 6 million dollars to build and that is for a finished product. To prototype one could run 2 or 3 times that much. So what do you do. Well to save money We built scale models of the finished product. To test the viability of the product and how to produce them at a low cost. This was with 3 engineering company's on board. And the owner of the company I was working for was a engineer too. So you might give some thought to producing a scale working prototype to test your theory on before you commit to a full size version. A scale prototype is also very handy for presentations to prospective investors. Hope this helps Bill
i have to disagree with a good amount of your last post Ironpony.
first one person at this moment in time. and you are trying to tell me, it is more worth it, to spend a good amount of time tracking down every single point of cost. sounds like a joke to me. even if i had a team, you are still telling me, that you would rather have the team waste half there time tracking down costs of things, vs just getting it done in the first place, and what ever is come up may not even get used, due to it does not work out for that particular idea / set of parts? that really does not make a lot of sense to me.
ya eventally when it gets past a prototype stage. and then getting near final product ya, cost is a factor. but man, sounds like someone is trying to make an excuse to keep there job at moment. and it sounds like it is time for re-assignment into something else and if they can not change it is time to wave bye bye.
seriously protyping on a smaller scale. i would initially agree with you at first. but really? there is a huge difference, between small scale and a larger scale. when it comes down to wire sizes, pipes for fluid and gas, the entire dynamics completely puts everything into a different set of variables that get spit out. by forumlas. and it is not just simply oh make a smaller unit, but when it gets made bigger the entire unit will all fall right in line. with just making it bigger, it does not work that way. metals to various other materials. also do not line up. from simply upscaling. from small prototype to a larger scale version.
i gotta wonder, between today's age of rapid prototyping on the computer, and more so 3D simulation setups, a unit can be placed into, without ever having to physically make anything. why there is need for smaller prototyping? maybe i am missing something. beyond the need for someone that requires a physical thing in front of them to better grasp it all. trying to figure out why i am being tied back to old age doings when computers were not around. i thought reason for these expensive full size 3D simulation setups. was just that, for rapid prototyping. and cost of the full 3D simulation, vs multi prototyping of multi things as physical models. it was cheaper for full 3D simulation. *scratches head* maybe i am missing something, and these full 3D simulation setups are a joke? i gotta wonder if all the hype is what it is all cracked up to be.... *scratching head*
perhaps missing point, of trying to assign a few way to many folks at an idea at one time. just kinda tossing money at things. vs a handful of folks, that get changed in and out as things progress. maybe having multi different third party contractors coming in as needed for an overall job. that specalizes in different aspects, that i am use to. is not the right way to go about things. from building a home. and having basement dug, then another company getting basement floor done, and another for basement wall, and another for roughing out the main floor walls and floors and roof, and another for house wrap, and other for shingles, and another for electrical, and another for plumbing.
maybe i am missing a point some place, were an asbesto company comes in as removes asbestos, and anther company comes in todo HVAC work, or boil work, or..... what ever it maybe, and then another company coming in to deal with this or that to finish things up.
from what i get from you, i get idea that a bunch of folks / companies were tossed together and said get it done and money just kept being tossed at ya. maybe i am wrong.
to above, i gotta wonder sometimes, bringing a bunch of third party companies, on various things, and paying overhead, for all the extra bosses, and accountants, and duplication of equipment, all duplication of paper work. or i should multi duplicates of paper work. that tend to end up being a few inches thick. i never really understood it. and needing to assign at min 1 person that is dedicated to paper work for each third party company.
on another note.... i really do not bite, for companies having problems with (best efficiency point) of an engine and dealing with emissions. and trying to keep at a higher level of efficiency. granted i have never went through it, so i am talking out of my rear. but some times i gotta scratch my head and say huh? and this is one of them.
In today's world of finance to think you can compete with existing tractor companies is unrealistic.

boggen (03-27-2013)
Hey I'm just trying to help. By offering realistic suggestions, based on having been there and done that. You are confusing me too in your last post you said you would consider costs maybe after the prototype was built. Then You say that with computer design it's not needed. Well I hate to be the one to tell you this but just about every company that builds anything still prototypes. Even when they use computer aided design. And My point about building the directional boring machines and having 3 engineering firms on the design, seemed to be lost on you too. One firm was a hydraulic engineering firm. One was a electrical engineering firm. And one was for structural engineering. Plus we had the engine manufacture's engineering division there too. (That one was the Caterpillar tractor company) And on top of all that the owner of the company that dreamed up the idea in the first place was himself a engineer. Why would this Man use that many engineering firms to help him build something that had never been done before, And build scale prototypes to test before comiting to full size prototypes that cost in 1985 dollars close to 6 million to build. I don't know maybe he just wanted to burn money. But he was successful the day He died he was worth billions. But You said I don't know why you would need those other firms, And yet you by your own admission say that you know next to nothing about engines. And in your last post you said you didn't want to compete with the other manufactures you wanted to join them. And finely when you go to join them the first thing they WILL ask is what kind of performance can you get from your tractor. Ours can plow 280 acres a hour. Then you stand there and say well my computer testing shows I can get 300 acres a hour. So then they ask well have you built a prototype to test this? Your answer no but the computer says it will. Ok they say what is it going to cost to build each unit, We know that our unit's cost 72,000 to build each. And We sell them for 210,000 each. So what is the cost of production for your tractor. Well I really don't know as I didn't figure that was important. The result: Meeting over thanks for coming. I really hope I'm wrong about this. But if you are successful and can actually get this in production come back on this site and tell us how you did. I know this sounds mean but it is based on Me trying the same thing you are trying to do many times. I could give you examples but I don't think You are interested. But I will leave you with one thing. I never even mentioned the biggest wall you will have to get around. The old standby for most company's, "If it wasn't developed here we aren't interested." Do some searching about inventor's and see how many time that has come up for inventors trying to submit their ideas. Hope this helps Bill
|The Following User Says Thank You to Ironpony For This Useful Post:
boggen (03-28-2013)
*rubs chin* been mulling over your posts here on this thread Ironpony. for last few hours.
first off: You caught me on every single point Bill. and you have pointed out my ignorance and my stupidity.
the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.
a : slow of mind : obtuse
b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner
c : lacking intelligence or reason : brutish
: dulled in feeling or sensation : torpid <still stupid from the sedative>
: marked by or resulting from unreasoned thinking or acting : senseless <a stupid decision>
a : lacking interest or point <a stupid event>
second.... you are asking me to provide information. that clearly i will not be able to achieve on my own. both prototype and what tractor could do in a field, and how much. all notations are reasonable. i am asking for help.
I am not trying to sell an idea, i am here with concept that i know is not fully flushed out. I know what i want. a fully functional tractor/implement setup, that can be used. I am here to see this concept for what ever it may end up being to the end. regardless of consequences and my ignorance or stupidity along the way. said it multi times before, i am making it up as i go along as needed, when needed, and hopefully what makes sense and works. and hopefully learn quickly without falling flat on my face. per my last post, and learn lesson the hard way. with that said. thank you for taking the extra time with your last post.
third. I have been posting on 3 different forums, that are within the industry i am focusing at. "agriculture / tractors / implements" most comments i get back fromm PM "private messages" and email, going something like this.... ya i would like to reply, but most of everything is far above me. or your nuts and quickly get overwhelmed, due to out of there scoop of knowledge and understanding. this is coming from same area, i am trying to get help from. and frankly i am right along with those same folks. of being over my head, and getting overwhelmed. and at moment it is engines.
forth....If i have to apply for a full patent/s i will. and if i have to seek funding i will. if i need to seek out and pay for this or that service, or information, i will. but it will not stop me from pestering the tractor manufactures, from taking this concept / idea on. they have the resources and more so the more specialized knowledge, that would be needed to make this into reality.
with above....
--what would it take, for me to come to one of these companies R&D places were there is a handful folks, that have 3D abilities and knowledge. and spend a week with them. hammering out basic concept doings? if not willing to take on cost, how much will it cost me? so i can come up with the money. assumption non-disclosure agreements signed. i am only looking to tie up a min of 2 people at a time. at this point if i am paying the bill.
if, then, elses, and buts. flat out what would it take for above to happen? it all comes back to... $$$. and i am putting my cash were my mouth is. it may not be much cash. but it is what it is.
fifth. if a company picks this up. they can have at it, patent/s etc... just give me a fair wage. my ignorance / stupidity showing up once again.... then again flexibility. i am not here to get rich, i need/want a usable machine. that can work. and not some over bloated tractor and implements, that leaves with. "what can you do" and just take it. that i have heard to many times before.
if it takes me acting like a client and company helping build the machine so be it. if company takes it over as there own product, so be it. if i have to go out and alone for another couple years, and play the game per say, so be it.
my email is within all the forums i have posted to a click or 2 away.
A gas turbine can meet the space and power requirements. Cost to harness the rpm of a turbine to an agricultural implement may or may not be prohibitive- but it would be considerable, I'd imagine. Then there's the heat generated. But power to weight is good and many fuels could be used.
One example:
Not one time did I either imply that you were stupid. And I did not say it either. If You took it that way then I am sorry. I really was trying to help. I mean no disrespect at all. With that said I will tell you this. You come on this forum looking for answers to your problem. In this case you want a engine that can produce up to 600 hp and fit in a 20"x20" space. Because in your own words "I don't know much about engines" So In My first post I tried to explain that a diesel would be the best choice and why. You even agree that a turbine would fit in the space allowed by your design, and would be a good choice because of their high hp for their size. But you even agreed that they wouldn't work because of dirt ingestion. And the high cost of them. All I can tell you is good luck and I won't bother you again thanks Bill
new tractor
Pretty cool from scratch. But I would look at battery and solar recharge with individual electric drive wheels or electric motor to drive your pumps and keep Hydraulic drive axles. You could also install gas or diesel gen. to supplement recharge with out sun light.
If I misread and the entire powerplant has to fit inside a 20" box (I thought the available length was more than 20"), good luck w/making any real HP/torque using commonly available engines/technology.
" the entire powerplant has to fit inside a 20" box"
boggen, do a goggle search and chase down "Tesla's bladeless turbine", it's the only option small enough to fit and produce the power you need. It can be run as internal combustion OR steam driven. It can be made small enough to fit at each wheel, plumbing them would your task but 100psi would not be a problem.
Good luck with it.
you can find some longer recent threads of mine here
SSTT side ways snake train tractor (idea for a new tractor possibly) - The Combine Forum for some engines.
recently came across below 2 links.
Wave Rotor Projects
40 Years In The Desert: Revolutionary Aero Engine Concepts
now i am thinking about it, i came across one other link, that had multi inlets and outlets. it might have came from the first link of the 2 above.
and oh... the "wave engine" i think it is called or "shock wave engine?" aswell.
*rubs chin* i really can not pass on the idea. i mean it is a possibility. could make a varible size setup for the disc/rotors to have a variable width turbine per say. add some actuators to the nozzle to direct the combustion pressure better. the issue is the "combustion" wanting a higher compressed air. and fully burning up all the fuel. and keeping the fuel burning hot enough? to reduce air pollution. other issues is high RPM's, and needing gear of some sort to deal with any sort of air compressor.
on other hand. if going with pure electrical type of setup. i might be able to come right off one side or both sides of the disc/rotor sets... ya i would have a very high frequency but... that should not be that big of a problem. and then just go with electrical motor to some sort of air compressor setup, that would feed the combustion chamber.
i don't know. only way to feed this combustion chamber, would almost need to be a constant supply of air non stop. or i would start causing a speed up, speed down, speed up, speed down. of RPM's if trying to feed a pulsated air flow to the combustion chamber. pulsation coming from a regular piston air pump/compressor, to super charger, to turbo charger, to roots air compressor. all that air = no good.
well.... i suppose i could set a "surge tank" between combustion area and the tesla blade-less turbine. and then regulate how much pressure comes out of the surge tank and into the turbine. to have a more controlled setup. perhaps getting things to point of removing pulsation at the turbine itself.
but issue would be, feeding compressed air, into the combustion chamber. when the valve to surge tank is still open. and that valve would not close till both surge tank and combustion chamber went down to a low enough pressure. resulting in needing some sort of piston or positive displacement. more so a multi stage positive displacement pump. to put highly compressed air into the combustion chamber. by the time i do that. i might as well go with another engine type.

Music Review: Neil Young's Americana
Neil Young brings old American folk songs back to life in his latest album with Crazy Horse, Americana.
Neil Young's latest record, Americana, has something odd about it. It's as if the album was based off an old Saturday Night Live scene, possibly even a concept that was scrapped at dress rehearsal. In the sketch, Young, adorned with his signature cowboy hat, checkered shirt and tattered jeans, would walk onto an infomercial set to croon his way through schoolyard hits like "Clementine," "Oh Susannah" or "This Land Is Your Land." But Americana does cover songs that you've known since kindergarten and it is very much real. It's the first album we've heard from Neil Young and the original members of Crazy Horse in 16 years, and despite its quirks there is something endearing about it.
"Americana is rich a collection [sic] of classic American compositions, some dating back 200 years or more," stated the press release sent out earlier today. "Each has its own unique history veiled with multiple meanings and relatable, lyrical significance as applicable today as they were in the America of yesteryear."
While his rousing rearrangement of "Jesus' Chariot" will never replace "Harvest," the gritty musical makeover of "Oh Susanna" and "My Darling Clementine" are reminiscent of Young's songs "Tonight's the Night" and "Powderfinger," for those fans that just can't shake the fact that these are all renditions of public-domain songs.
We've never anticipated that we'd hear Young sing any of these campfire songs, but we've been given a whole album of them and damn us if we don't try to like it.

For Eye Care Professionals
Corneal Edema is the swelling of the cornea following ocular surgery, trauma, infection, inflammation as well as a secondary result of various ocular diseases. Corneal edema can also occur following over-wear of certain types of contact lenses. The cornea is part of the eye's focusing system that transmits and focuses light into the eye. When the cornea swells, it may impair transmission of light possibly decreasing vision. Bausch + Lomb creates products for temporary daytime and nighttime relief from corneal edema.

Thomas resigns from Backus City Council
The Backus City Council on Monday, April 1, regretfully accepted the resignation of council member James Thomas effective immediately. Thomas is moving out of state.
Thomas served on the council for two years and four months.
The council declared a vacancy. Interested parties should stop at city hall for information and to apply. The council will require a background check.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Approved payment of a $2,992.69 bill to Schrupp Excavating for repair of a water main that broke on church property. Because the main was improperly installed, and because it was installed improperly by a non-city employee, the cost of the repairs will be rebilled to Lakeside Baptist Church.
• Acknowledged and accepted a donation on behalf of the Backus Fire Department from the Borman family in memory of Pat Borman. The $2,000 donation was designated for the purchase of new fryers for the annual smelt fry. The council also expressed thanks and appreciation for the donation.
• Accepted the resignation of Todd Sawyer, a firefighter with the Backus Fire Department for 26 years. Retirees get a plaque and are welcome to continue attending fire department events.
• Agreed to hire Derek Stockman for the Backus Fire Department.
• Agreed to send a letter to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency explaining the progress of the wastewater project, highlighting milestones along the way, and describing the steps to come. This letter was written because the wastewater permit for the city required a notice to proceed to be submitted by Sept. 1, 2012. This notice was delayed, but is expected to be forthcoming once a review is completed for the project. The letter is meant to demonstrate to the MPCA that the city is moving forward with the project.
• Approved the replacement of light fixtures at the fire hall and installation of a heater in the office at a cost of $2,440. The fixtures are outdated and ballasts may be hard to replace soon.
• Acknowledged and accepted donations from Deerfield Township and Emmanuel Lutheran Church on behalf of the Backus First Responders. Deerfield Township donated $250, and Emmanuel Lutheran Church donated $177.
• Approved a request by Jenkins Northern Post 3839 Veterans of Foreign Wars to declare May 10 and 11 as Buddy Poppy Day.

To us it has also pleased us to be in the apartment Cyril !!! A cozy , comfortable, well equipped and with good transport to go anywhere in Paris. We appreciate the kindness of Cyril , who was at all times aware of our needs. Previously we had done get comprehensive information about the apartment location , transport links, close shops and other useful items for our stay. And during the week we have a direct contact with him , allowing great agility in communication. In short , a very pleasant stay for the whole group !!! Cyril thank you very much !!! If we have occasion to return to Paris , it will be a pleasure to stay in your apartment. Hopefully soon !! : D
The appartement was really charming! We enjoyed our stay greatly, and Cyril is a very kind and helpful renter. Everything was clean and as described.
However the street right next to the rooms is a bit noisy - the windows are incredibly well soundproofed, but when opened it is a bit distracting.
The apartment met the expectations we had from the pictures and description on Wimdu. The host was very helpful both in the booking process as well as during our stay . He provided very good information about the area , communication and tips on sightseeing. A great plate to stay in Paris for a family .
We were six people staying in the apartment for 2 nights (2 adults and 4 teenagers). There was plenty of room for us all and the apartment was nice and clean. The old house gives a historical atmosphere. The closeness to a grocery shop and a bakery was also very nice! Cyril was very helpful and friendly. It's very convenient having the owner living in the same building. The only downside was the fact that the old house became quite damp, due to the lack of ventilation, as it rained (a lot). The many stairs may also be a disadvantage, if you are disabled or have a lot of luggage. However, that was not a concern for us and we would very much like to come back.
We've had a very nice stay in this apartment and we really felt welcome!
There was a lot of tourist information provided by Cyril, the host. The apartment is near the metro. Real easy and quick to travel to Paris. A perfect place to stay!
I spent 3 days in Cyril's flat with my wife and 4 kids. I can't recommend it more.
The flat was clean and well accessorized, very close to the metro.
Cyril is a very nice and a very professional host. Besides the very detailed welcome instructions, he also gave us his time to explain how to get around and where to find things.
We went to Paris with two families (11 persons) and and so we booked both flats!
The area is very nice and safe. We could park our cars near the streets without beeing worried that something might happen. It takes only 3 minutes to the next Metro station, so we didn't need our cars and were all quite independent.
Cyril was a very friendly and obliging host, the flats clean and usefully furnished.
Especially the beds and mattresses were comfortable.
We can highly recomment the flats to eberybody who needs good and practical accommodation for his stay in Paris.
Helo I am very satisfied with the stay in Paris with Cyril who is a wonderful and helpful host. The apartment is large and nicely restored. The house itself is from 1882 but restaured into a fine conditiion. The weather was fantastic, maybe a little too hot some days, and there were a lot of great things to see! Very pleased! Best regards from Kjell from Stockholm Sweden

ppl dont seem to understand KG's pass to setup the run...yeah, it means we'll have a few 3 n outs, but it also means that we're forcing the D to respect our ability to pass on any down, which in essence opens up running lanes. We prob went 3 n out that drive, but I'd bet we drove the field on the next one or at least had a few first downs with some good runs
and if anything im glad KG didnt go straight into a run run pass shell (see meadowlands meltdown 2)...we should be doing whatever the defense isnt set to defend all game, not just when we're in the lead. cleveland and other teams will keep stacking the box late in games when trailing if u dont threaten them with the pass, making the running game stagnant.
Funny thread really. Oh the team did something you wouldn't have done yourself? Shocker!!
I always assume that the OC and the teams knows a lot more about the situation that I do, sitting in my couch far from the game.
Second thing is, we are completing roughly 2/3 of our passes. So throwing 3 times when the defense is favoring run stuffing is actually a pretty solid idea. So even though it didn't work this time, it was a chance worth taking as I see it.
Finally, we are talking about the third quarter up by 17. Way too soon to be defending the lead. Didn't we score 25 points in the 4th quarter alone quite recently?

Jumpsuits are one of those things. You either love them or you hate them. Or you hate them but then they start to grow on you until finally you catch yourself buying one on sale at Max on your lunch break.
When they first started turning up in the shops, I thought jumpsuits were some kind of awful, retro-ironic fashion statement. The kind of thing that no one ever wears, except desperate celebrities.
Then I saw them being paired with blazers and strapless styles being worn with gorgeous, bright, chunky jewellery. And I started to feel a bit more positive about them. I saw Kim Kardashian - of all people - in a flowing, drapey style that looked a bit like a dress - but more fashionable.
Now, I can't get enough. They are easy to wear, they look great dressed up or down and there's something really elegant and slimming about the styles that are cut well.
If you're tall, you can get away with wide leg or slim cut varieties. Shorter women should stay with styles with less fabric.
And unless you're tiny, steer well clear of any jumpsuits with added material around the middle. It's quite easy to veer from sleek and chic to frumpy in an all-in-one.
It's important that you get a jumpsuit that fits really well. There's nothing flattering about one that is too tight - quite apart from the comfort factor. Playsuits are also in lots of shops for summer. These cute, all-in-one short sets are perfect for the beach, but I don't think they work in the office.
Accessorise your jumpsuit in the same way you would a maxi dress. Pair it with a cardigan, wrap up in a blazer and pile on a bit of jewellery to add interest. Layering makes the look a bit more subtle.
Unless it's really understated, stay away from patterns. All-black is the way to go to avoid looking like you've forgotten to get dressed, although some of the jewel colours also look fabulous.
Match the width of your heel to the width of your pants - wide leg pants go with wedges, slim cut with stilettos.
Have fun with this look - it isn't one you can take too seriously.
Next time I pull one of mine out of the wardrobe no doubt my husband will roll his eyes and ask whether I've been raiding children's clothing shops again. But he'll come around - probably just as they go out of fashion again!

Jimmy Walker to perform during Winterfest
Fans may have just one response to hearing who's coming to Crosslake Winterfest: "Dy-no-mite!"
Yes, Jimmy J.J. Walker will perform Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at Pine Peaks Events Center amidst this year's Winterfest celebration.
Perhaps best known for his role in "Good Times," Walker was a stand-up comedian before landing the spot on the show. Walker was working for a radio station before joining The Last Poets as an opening act, one of his first stand-up acts.
In 1972 he quit his day job and became a full-time comedian. He was later named Time Magazine's Comedian of the Decade.
His role in "Good Times" eventually led to movie roles. Walker was boxer Bootney Farnsworth in "Let's Do It Again," and had roles in "Airplane!" and "Airport '79."
Recently, he's made appearances on "The George Lopez Show," "Everybody Hates Chris" with Chris Rock and "Scrubs." Comedy remains Walker's first love, and he tours the nation 35-45 weeks a year performing live and appearing on game shows and late night television.
Showtimes are 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. Tickets are $35, and an Italian buffet catered by Maucieri's is $12. A full bar will be available. Tickets are sold in advance only. For tickets, call 218-692-7829. Visit www.pinepeakseventcenter.com for more information.

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.


text: I'm a new beekeeper and have started some queenrearing. My best colony started off friendly and exploded in population. They also made enough honey to be set for the winter. There was a cold snap for a few days and then the weather turned warm again. i went through all my colonies for the last inspection for the year and when it came to that colony they were very angry at me. This same queen had this same problem last year and i replaced her. I put her in a nuc as a backup if the new queen didn't workout and the temper of the nuc cooled off. They exploded in population and grew to there present full colony strength. Then the agressive behavior started again. Is it possible to use the genetics and rear queens from this queen and see if the next generation is agressive or is that a waste of time. It's a shame to kill my best laying queen, but it's no fun getting attacked the whole time I'm trying to inspect. Any help is appreciated.

I am a 58 year old handyman and I am trying to become a beekeeper. My wife and I took the "Short Course" that the Capital Area Beekeepers just put on. It was a fine course and we are both excited. We got to handle some real bees in the last class and we are psyched! We have the equipment, all necessary tools and supplies but still no bees. Supposedly we are going to get a package soon.
We live in uptown Harrisburg. We have a large, fenced lot behind my workshop so, even though we are deep in the heart of the city, we have a secure place for bees.
I ordered bees in March, paid for, and was promised a package. Since that time the apparently friendly and helpful supplier (Bolling Bee Farms) seems to have disappeared, not responding to any form of inquiry.
Thankfully, Waldo Apiaries has stepped-up and George has promised that we will have some soon.
We are hoping for a second package from somewhere as we would like to have two hives going this year.
I guess we'll see! Regardless, I am glad that a friend told me about this place and I look forward to learning from everyone!

Location: Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research
Project Number: 5030-21000-062-02-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Aug 16, 2010
End Date: Sep 30, 2014
Develop virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) constructs to knock out putative disease resistance genes in soybean, in order to test and establish gene function. Also test and develop protocols to precisely modify genes in soybean or other legume species, using a combination of VIGS and zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) technologies.
The cooperator will work with the ADODR and soybean researchers in the CICGRU on two tasks that use specialized knowledge and technology related to virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and use of viruses for transient gene over expression. First, assemble gene constructs (genes, promoters, and appropriate vector and selection sites) to substantially decrease or knock out gene expression of targeted genes. VIGS technologies used in the cooperator lab enable gene knockdown in transient assays (assays used within a single plant). Second, test and develop protocols to extend VIGS technologies to produce persistent, multi-generation gene knockout. Specifically, develop constructs containing zinc finger nucleases (which can be designed to precisely and permanently modify DNA), and deliver these to plant germ-line cells using modified VIGS vectors. The Soybean Mosaic Virus (SMV) and Bean Pod Mosaic Virus (BPMV) have been modified in the cooperator's lab to express payload genes in the host plant. SMV additionally has the potential to express the ZFN in the seed and embryo, and the virus can be removed in a subsequent cross. The cooperator will first test for gene expression of a SMV-carried reporter gene in germ line cells and in a second generation in soybean, and then will test for expression and function of BPMV and SMV constructs that carry ZFNs.

In this issue, political reporter David S. Bernstein surveys the statewide political scene (see "Inside Game," Talking Politics) with an eye to see who is positioning themselves to run for governor when the present occupant of the corner office, Deval Patrick, steps down.
All the usual suspects make their expected appearances. The Phoenix would like to take this opportunity to say that we hope US Congressman Michael Capuano of Somerville thinks long and hard about running.
Political junkies should not get too excited; this is not a preemptory endorsement. But given the sorry state of ongoing affairs on Beacon Hill, someone who has served as a mayor and a congressman might be in a position to let some sunshine into the workings of state government.
After a shaky start, Patrick certainly has. On balance, six good years will turn out to be a pretty good return for the two years he invested in getting his bearings.
And odds are, if Capuano were to run and were to win (the two are not necessarily connected), he'd enter office ready to roll.
Capuano was a great mayor. His focus in Washington — on transportation, infrastructure, and affordable housing — would give him a basket of expertise that would benefit Massachusetts.
Capuano is also a true friend of labor and a fiscal realist. That's an unusual combination. He might be just the man to craft and implement the sort of public-employee reform the state so badly needs, without sparking a Wisconsin-like conflict.
"Might" is, of course, the operative word. Think about it, Mike — long and hard.

Public safety projects up for vote in Dona Ana County special election
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The funding for several public safety projects could be decided by Dona Ana County voters on Tuesday.
County commissioners said these projects are vital to the community.
If voters say yes, the county can get the ball rolling on those projects, but what happens if the vote goes against the bonds and tax raise?
"These are basic health and safety response issues," said Dona Ana County Commissioner Karen Perez.
If voters give their approval, the three bond measures would pay for a new call center to meet the demands of a growing county, renovations for the county fairgrounds and the finishing touches for a building to hold animals used as evidence in court cases.
"These are new programs, but they're absolutely vital for the county, and it's fair that they share the cost. I think other gross receipts tax issues that we've had in the past are things maybe people couldn't relate to," Perez said.
Also on the table is a raise in the gross receipts tax equal to 25 cents for every $100 purchase.
The tax would create a steady revenue to fund the 911 center, ambulance services and the Crisis Triage Center.
The triage center is already built, but it needs a source of funding to operate past the first year.
If voters say no?
"Something else will be traded for that. Those will be hard decisions to make. If that's the message from the community of, 'We would rather give up something else so you can handle these priorities', then we hear the message. They'll be making some hard choices over the next year," Perez said.
County officials said so far the voter turnout has been low. Only 2 percent of registered voters came out for early voting.
Election Day is Tuesday. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, click here.

text: I want to order an Ultra Breeze bee suit and am hoping that you folks who own an Ultra Breeze suit can help. I am six foot four and weigh about 200lbs. I'm tall, long legged, and long armed and thin. The only suit that has an inseam long enough is the 2x or larger and I'm worried that I'll feel like the Staypuffed Marshmallow Man in that size. I have been e-mailing Ultra Breeze all week with NO response so far and I really need to get this suit ordered since it has been in the 90's all week here and I'm allergic to bees and I'm going to die from heat exhaustion in my old suit. So my question is, how long are the arms and legs on these suits? Thanks in advance for any help,

I wanna get a lexus is300 soon. I want to know what should I start with? engine, sound system, exterior or interior >?I would say engine but I would like to know your opinions. Thanx
i'd say engine, but it depends on what you plan to do. for instance, if you know you'll be selling it in a couple of years i'd do sound system because it adds to the resale value of the car, if you try doing something to the engine it will lose value, just depends on whether you're only gonna have it for a short time or if you're gonna drive it to its grave. i wouldnt do much with the interior/exterior, its already a pretty good lookin car, maybe some new rims and tires.
...first of all to get some gas.
I think I read somewhere that there are guys who will replace the stock engine, with one that is from a mid 90's Toyota Supra, twin turbos included. I forget how much the Supra would put out stock, something like 300HP? That sure would make for one cool IS300.
If he lives in California, don't know about other states, that would make him void of passing smog since here it is illegal to put an older motor into car. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember. Stock turbo last gen Supras put out 320. I doubt he has the money for it. IS300 aren't fast at all really. 98 Maximas in good conditions I believe can pull on them. So if you are the type who doesn't like others passing you, then work on the engine.
I bet there are aftermarket parts/packages, like turbo systems that would do the trick. Only guessing though.
luckily because of the supra, there are after market products that will be interchangable, since the IS 300 uses the same 2JZ-GE motor. Smog legal? I dunno. But if you know someone that could help you pass smog...
there is a supra engined is in houston. it gives cobras and vettes a hard time. i think it has 600+hp.
yea... turbo motors can be built to the sky...

Hello people
I'm doing an ATAT pilot and am in desperate search for the correct colour, ribbed hoses. Then I just raided Becky's Zam spares box :)
The hoses are exact match!!!
So is there anyone in the US or elsewhere who's able to get the hose and ship it over to me in the UK if I pay them for their hard work? :)
There are 4 of us in UK currently doing an ATAT pilot so this would be a great help :)
Many thanks
John :)

In recent years, risks around bribery and corruption have risen as prime concerns among business leaders in part due to enforcement trends that include a greater focus on the prosecution of individuals. Given the intensifying Canadian and global legislative and enforcement environment, business leaders are faced with greater risk exposure, especially in the fast-growing emerging markets that present the most alluring opportunities for growth through expansion and acquisition.
In Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's concerted enforcement campaign around the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act ("CFPOA") is at full steam, with charges laid and a large number of investigations ongoing. The introduction of Bill S-14, the Fighting Foreign Corruption Act, on February 5, 2013 has caused significant amendments to the CFPOA which will, among other things, increase the scope of the CFPOA and the ability of enforcement authorities to prosecute and penalize alleged offenders.
We invite you to download our most recent thought leadership "Cleaning up corruption: Why anti-corruption compliance is now on the C-suite radar", to learn how to become proactive in addressing compliance issues, and build related programs to mitigate bribery and corruption related risks.
