The apartment and its location are great. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of blinds or some heavy curtains because of the sun.
I was expecting the apartment as shown in the pictures, but it was different. Same building, same size, but it seems the owner is a company, that owns scores of appartments in the area, put the sames pictures on all the listings and then allocate you a flat. Apart from that, the shower needs serious repair, the curtain rod and show head fell on my head. I had to fix them. Some street noise too.
Very good place , good location , I definitely will use it again .
Very nice and helpful owner
Nice apartment, clean and host precise and in time. Everything's ok. Very good position in shonenberg. The only problem, as often happens abroad, there was no rolling shutter and the awnings were white and the sun light early in the morning woke me up. But everything was ok, I'd return here. Ciao
First of all it was not the same apartment shown in the pictures. Host was prompt in meeting us and gave us a nice intro to what was local. But the apartment was dirty, esp. the bathroom. There was a lot of mold over the shower and a moldy matt in the shower. At least there was bleach in the pantry so I was able to clean the shower to a usuable state. My friend who traveling with me has asthma and allergies so the mold really affected her. :( ALso the there was a bar accross the street which was noisy at night. BUT super close to a main U bahn and tons of restaurants and grocery stores. OH and the apartment was three U bahn stops from KaDeWe. I would not call it near the KaDeWe.
Very nice host, very welcoming, nice and clean flat. Very centrally located with coffee machine, furnace and cutlery. +++
Nice two person room with small clean kitchen for makining dinner if you need internet for € 4,00 speedy internet and for € 4,00 private, SECURE parking place in the building even for vans!
Super host when we had a problem, just an half hour away!.
When you want to have a long weekend with a couple of friends with no privicy for clubbing you can easaly go over there with 6 friends.,
24 four hours supermarked and subway 5 minutes minutes walking.
I would say, GO GO GO !

Ok debate it then besides the SEC what other conference was better then the PAC-12? What's this be a real man stuff all about? You can't even spell out all the words your typing, what are you 12? Do you think the Big East is all that? The Big East is a joke! I doubt you even follow college ball, poser.
What many people have said and its 100% true. Unless he changes his style of offense he'll never survive..
Stop Booing Tiki Barber.
Being from Arizona and following the Pac-12 a lot I do not think he will have much success at first. I am not saying he is a bad coach but he has benefited from an overwhelming talent pool at Oregon. Oregon gets the majority of the best players on the west coast due to all the endorsements and NFL level football facilities, its called Nike U for a reason. That being said, once he gets the players he wants he should do ok. Whether or not the egirls wait that long is another story.
I listened to an interview of Kelly after he got the head coach job. The overall message was he is watching a lot of tape to evaluate his players and will design a scheme based on the talent they have on the Eagles. Don't expect the Oregon playbook.
What this means for the Giants? I'm not sure at this point, Reid is a successful head coach and Kelly is unproven in the NFL.

I don't have any, but I have studied them a bit. Different baffle designs are not the only consideration in effectiveness. Comparing suppressors by saying "X Brand" has K baffles so it must be louder than "Y Brand" that uses the new Z baffles is not always correct.
Size is the major factor, a longer suppressor with one baffle design may be quieter than a shorter one with a different baffle. Is the difference the baffle design or the 3 more baffles in the longer suppressor? Also, pressure and gas volume make a difference. Some modern baffles really work the gases making them divert in all sorts of ways inside the tube. Use the same baffle on a lower pressure round and it may be louder since the gas may not be pressurized enough to flow properly through the baffle.
Overall design factors in as well. Hollywood quiet versus quiet enough may mean the difference between a small compact suppressor that allows you to shoot without hearing protection and a large awkward tube that is dead quiet but not practical. IIRC, there is at least one maker who offers his 10/22 integral in either an 18" or 24" package for this reason. Centerfire locked breech pistols require relatively lightweight cans in order to cycle. "Nielson Devices" can overcome some extra weight up front but in general a pistol suppressor is going to be lighter and smaller than a design for a rifle or subgun, and usually louder because of it.
From what I can gather, the monolithic cores are a manufacturing/assembly cost saving measure. They can be made on a CNC in one process instead of individual baffles that have to be put in and taken out one at a time, stacked in the tube, timed if necessary, etc. Don't think they are any quieter than the same baffle design made as individuals.
There are dozens of baffle designs. Check out Silencer Talk they have a gallery of disassembled suppressors. However, most of the newer ones are welded shut so it's hard to find pics of internals. The US Patent Office online lets you view silencer patents though. Silencertests also have measured sound level tests, although those can be misleading. Everyone hears sound differently, so even though a suppressor may have a higher DB output the tone may be such that most people think it's quieter than a lower DB one. Most people recommend you visit a dealer with several in stock and do a side by side comparison test on the type of firearm you plan to use it on.

Epperson Loses Jurisdiction Battle Against Union
UPDATE (8/20/14): A judge rules against the Rockford Police Chief in jurisdiction case.
Judge Eugene Doherty ruled Wednesday that the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners does indeed have the authority to hire, fire, and discipline the Police Chief. Epperson's lawyer, Thomas McGuire, claimed only Mayor Larry Morrissey had the authority to make decisions regarding Epperson. Today's ruling is the second time a judge ruled in favor of the Police Union in this case. A judge initially ruled the commissioners could discipline Epperson. But, since both sides rushed their arguments, combined with the fact the judge himself wasn't sure, led to a second chance for Epperson.
Eyewitness News has obtained the Memorandum Opinion and Order filed by the clerk of the Circuit Court. Some highlights include: Circuit Judge Eugene Doherty's opinion, saying Police Chief Chet Epperson is accountable to the Fire and Police Commission, which contains several key statements which indicating that Chief Epperson "is living in a fantasy world" if he (and the mayor) believe he is accountable only to Mayor Larry Morrissey. The ruling states that not only is Epperson accountable to Fire and Police Commission, but that he is solely accountable to them when it comes to his employment.
Page four of the document sites that ONLY the fire and police commission can fire the chief, and not the mayor: "Statue gives the Board of Commissioners the sole authority to discharge the chief. .. it must also be recognized that placing such authority with the Board of Commissioners insulates police chiefs from hiring and firing decisions which would otherwise be made by the political branches of municipal government..... discharge of the police chief -- is something which the Board, and only the Board, has the power to decide."
Both the Commission and Epperson's law teams gave their final arguments in court this afternoon over who has jurisdiction over the Chief. The Commission says they appointed Epperson and can discipline him unless an ordinance says otherwise.
Epperson's lawyer countered that only the Mayor has jurisdiction over the Chief, because he is covered under an ordinance that designates him has a 'Marshal.'
"There's been an ordinance enacted that says the Chief of Police is a Marshal, and that's an appointment strictly made by the Mayor, according to the municipal code," Thomas McQuire argued.
An attorney for the police union, which is seeking to have its complaint against the Chief heard by the Fire and Police Commission, laughed off the claim. "He's the Chief of Police," says attorney Dan McGrail. "I have no idea what he was talking about when he was referring to some antiquated statute about marshals."
The union claims the Chief violated protocol when he ordered two officers to leave the scene of a welfare-check call at the home of the Rockford NAACP President. Epperson's claim is that he told the officers to wait for a supervisor and not leave the scene.
If the judge dismisses Epperson's motion, then the complaint against the Chief will be heard on Monday. His written ruling is expected Friday.

That would help some, but the barrel is a straight taper.

That would help some, but the barrel is a straight taper.
Whatever happened on your 45-70 project? I have one that is nearly complete, needs extractor work. I picked up the barrel from Sarco (Gibbs old stock) and installed it on a No1MkIII receiver. Picked up the mag for it a while back for about $70, oh well. I did all the receiver opening with a dremmel, and the round feeds smoothly w/o the extractor installed on the bolt head. With the extractor, it grips the rim too hard and causes the round to twist just enough to impede feeding. I was expecting to need to modify the extractor, just hadn't got down to figuring it out. Have you done that step yet? Advice/pointers would be appreciated.
I used a bubba'd SMLE stock, and also had to open up the barrel channel to accommodate it. I am missing a couple of small parts that I need to track down, lost track of them over time, but nearly ready to go.
It's still parked. I haven't cut the extractor groove in the barrel yet.
How thick are the rims on your cases? There's a lot of variation in specs for different brass. If you have thick rims, it might be worth just going to a different brand of brass.
The SMLE extractor has a very long stroke; up in Canada people have done 7mm Mauser conversions and claim the unmodified extractor works find with the rimless case.
The extractor is *supposed* to be able to push the case to the left. That preloads the case against the left side of the chamber for consistency, sort of like a the ejector pin on an AR or a Savage. And it keeps the case pushed to the left side of the receiver, so it will slide across the bolt face a bit as the bolt strokes back, so it can hit the ejector screw.
The left sidewall is actually scooped out a bit to let the case slide over; that's one reason the bolt feels loosey-goosey.
How's your headspace? You might be able to take a little off the bolt head face to get more extractor bite.
I never did get any feedback on the varying rim thicknesses of .45-70 brass on any of the boards where I asked, and the only local place that had used brass went out of business.
I'm tempted to set my rifle up tight on an .062" rim, and face off the front of any thick rims on the lathe to .062". Just reaching in with a parting tool should do it. You can't take of off the back of the case without making the primer pocket shallower.
In my case, I'll probably just "adjust" forty or sixty cases, which will probably last me the rest of my life... I'm not worried if it won't handle all commercial ammunition. Though, really, the change in headspace doesn't seem to be an issue with .45-70 guns in general, and if there's any platform that has proven it can handle excessive headspace, it's the SMLE!
No problem with headspace. The only issue is that, when stripping the round from the magazine, the extractor has to flex much farther out than for the .303 round, and it grips the rim very tightly, and the tension is much stronger, actually causing the round to pull up and to the right slightly, keeping it from feeding the front of the round in. Without the extractor installed, the round feeds smooth as silk. I have the extractor cut in the installed barrel, and the round extracts properly if I guide it in and close the bolt completely.
A ha! Now I understand your question.
The Gibbs I played with did something similar, though I didn't have it long enough to figure out what was causing it.
As a plan of attack, I would take a minimum amount off the extractor, then try a lighter spring. You can probably go a lot lighter than stock; the larger cartridge doesn't need to move as far over to reach the ejector pin, and you don't have to worry about the extractor still working reliably with crusted full of filth.
Extraction shouldn't be an issue, I'm just paranoid about breaking extractors for some reason.
"Real Life" and Quality Shop Time are still in conflict, but I did make a small step forward this morning.
I'd been gagging at the price of surplus Gibbs magazines (close to $100), particularly since they don't work very well. Then I noticed that OWS didn't have them listed any more. Well, I didn't really want one anyway, but it was nice knowing there was a fallback option.
There's a guy on Gunbroker who has been trying to sell an old Lee magazine for... years, I guess, at $125. I finally said "screw it!" and bought the thing.
The magazine is from an 1885 Remington-Lee in .45-70. It's narrower and shorter than an SMLE magazine; I'll have to make an adapter of some sort to hold it. But it's designed from the ground up to feed .45-70.
James Paris Lee sold several designs to Remington before he hooked up with Enfield. There were several Remington-Lee rifles. The early ones had smooth-sided magazines, the 1885 had an elaborate set of stepped guide ridges stamped into the sides, and the 1899 had a simpler set of guide ridges. The one I bought is an 1885. The ridges look like they'll guide the base of the cartridge right up the bolt face.
So I have a 70 year old receiver, a 129 year old magazine, and I'll be shooting reproductions of a 142 year old cartridge. Life is good...
Neat...just check out that patina! Never give up...
Oh Boy Oh Boy,,,I just may have one of those mags kicking around here TRX. I'll run out and check and see if it holds the 45-70's,,,wait one,,,,, I'll go check,,,,
WELL LATTIE DAH!!!! I do have one for ya after all TRX. I thought it looked awful familiar,,, it has May1878,Nov 1879, Aug1884 and Sept 1884 patent dates on it,,,it's yours if you can use it?
The cost,,,,shipping only, probably 5-6 bucks,,is that fair enough for ya bud? :lol::lol:
If so PM me your info to ship it out to you and I'll get it out first thing Monday morning. The PO window is already closed today, or I'd have done it up today. Let me know,,,,PS,,,it comes with free patina too, but should clean up well!!

2012 Whatever happened to Grand Theftendo?
Grand Theft Auto III - General News | @ 12:00 AM MDT | By Ash_735
You remember Grand Theftendo right? We only reported on it back in October of 2004! The project that was started by Brian Provinciano to recreate Grand Theft Auto III on the NES hardware, developed between 2002 and 2005, the project was eventually put on hold because it was about to become an entirely different beast altogether, but there is footage of the original version around the internet, such as this clip below:
So what happened? Well as development grew, Brian found ways to get even more out of the NES hardware, the project, while still focused on Grand Theft Auto III, eventually started to include reference and jokes to other games of yesteryear. The project then got bigger, shifting development from NES to PC, a couple more people got involved to help with the art and soundtrack and with time this little Grand Theft Auto III demake evolved into the indie game known today as Retro City Rampage by Vblank Entertainment (a company founded by Brian Provinciano). Now, a lot of you guys might be around the same age as me and grew up playing games from the late NES era to the SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive era from a very young age, so some of you might remember playing games like Contra, Mega Man, Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, Final Fight, etc, so for me at least, having a game that was rooted as a Grand Theft Auto III homage then evolve to reference other games of that era is interesting and worth keeping an eye on because, at it's most basic, it's a Grand Theft Auto game of that time, which we never got. You can check out a trailer for Retro City Rampage below:
Retro City Rampage "Big News" Trailer 2012 from Vblank on Vimeo.
Retro City Rampage is currently slated for a May release and will be available via Steam, Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network (both for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita) and WiiWare. The PC version is currently available to pre-order Here.

This memorandum provides an update on the date of release, and method of transmission to the States, of the State Plan Guide for the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III).
On behalf of the Division of Vocational- Technical Education staff and myself, I would like to thank those of you who participated in the dialogue sessions recently held at the American Vocational Association conference. The issues that were raised and the feedback we received during the various sessions have proven invaluable.
We had originally identified a December 31, 1998 deadline for transmitting State plan guidance to you. In order to provide States with information and guidance that takes into consideration the information that was obtained at AVA, we need to extend the date for release of the State Plan Guide to January 11, 1999.
To give you sufficient time to complete the State plan, we are extending the deadline for States to submit a State plan for Perkins III to April 12, 1999. This change in deadlines will reduce the amount of time the Department has for review and approval of the plan.
The State Plan Guide will be sent to the State Directors electronically on or before Friday January 11, 1999. In addition, a copy will be flash faxed and a hard copy will be sent by mail. If you have any further questions, please contact Ron Castaldi at (202) 205-9444.


text: I was looking back at this old thread, (waiting for the kids to get up to open their presents) kind of funny. I upgraded my old craftsman saw(it did run until I sold it) with a Grizzly 220 volt 3 hp. I got a radial arm saw ($25 dollars) , and a new stack of datos. I have started making galvanized tops but have not found a need for the grinder.

Someone is mad.
Mood: WOOF!
I was surprised that a few of the 49ers posters did come back tonight. Like I said, it takes a lot for some people to eat their crow,so I gave those who came back their props.
I have learned that it is just as important to win with grace/class as it is to not be a sore loser.
Lets not be sore winners, like the Eagles...
I'll just leave a reminder stapled to a sign post on the side of the road for future opponents in this position:
This team beats all comers. 18-0, 15-1, 14-2, 13-3, all have fallen, on the road no less. Nobody is to be feared.
We've taught this lesson to our friends in SF a few times now, I hope they are learning.

Screw them, they are clowns. All I read on their forums were how the giants are a joke and they will blow us out, that we're nothing and an easy win. Now all they are saying is that this game meant nothing and they will put it behind them. I love it really.
They came on here and were saying the same thing. I bet a few members even made dupe accounts to not sound ridiculous.
Charger fan here, I picked the Giants to win and I'm glad they did. Nothing against their team, I just like how they handle their business and do it quietly without all the trash talking.
Face it 49ers fans, a lot of you remind me of Charger fans a few years ago, you had a good season, some playoff success and all of a sudden you think you're the ****. But guess what? You haven't done jack squat yet, get a couple ringers like the Giants then talk.
Thanks Giants I can always rely on you to put teams in their place and stop all this madness about how godlike the 49ers are.

Home › Forums › Off Piste › Packrafting › river knife?
Apr 19, 2013 at 6:01 am #1301916
I'm loath to consider adding another hunk of steel to my pack weight, but I'm wondering how many folks include a river knife as part of their packrafting kit. I've never carried one before, but I've also never done the majority of my boating alone before and the necessity of self-rescue competence is heavy on my mind. I've been practicing other skills and gradually getting back into more challenging water. If I were to incorporate knife use into my skillset, now would be the time.

Don't know exactly what you mean, but kershaw makes the amphibian and benchmade makes a dive knife. Both are fairly light, can be blunt tipped, and have the strap cutter.
Also for less weight the spyderco salt series: folders but light and in a few sizes.
I have the benchmade. Its not heavy.
Did you just want reccomendations of like a skill?
Reccomendations i have, skills?… Eh, ya know. ;)Apr 19, 2013 at 9:22 am #1978391
>>Don't know exactly what you mean
Just if you carry one and if you've ever found cause to use it. I have a small dive knife I could move from my BCD to my PFD, or I was looking at the CRKT Bear Claw.Apr 19, 2013 at 10:56 am #1978422

Not a packrafter, but I do kayak. I always have a knife attached to my PFD. I've used Benchmade,Gerber and a couple different Scuba Max BC knives in the past. I've been looking at the Boker CK1 as a new addition. Never had to use it, but my biggest fear is entanglement in submerged fishing line.Apr 20, 2013 at 4:07 pm #1978816

FWIW: I've had a river knife strapped to my PFD for 25 years, on hundreds of full-sized raft trips mostly Class III, some IV and V, and a half-dozen or so serious on-river incidents.
Never ever used it.
And I'll always take it.
Barely visible in my avatar, right side of photo, above blue carabiners. I recently replaced that PFD, but kept the knife.
For packrafting, I'd take the lightest knife with at least a 2 inch blade, that I could strap to my body/PFD, and that I could remove quickly and use with one hand while being thrashed underwater. No folding knife would meet those criteria.
The good news is you could leave other knife-like objects home on those trips.
Solo vs group packrafting would not matter, a knife could save you or your buddies from deadly adventures with ropes, fishing lines, small branches, or pinned boats.

I carry a Bark River bravo necker.
Have I had opportunity to use it? Sure. Opening packaging, food prep, cleaning fish. If I wasn't packrafting, I'd still carry it. I also have a small firestarter/survival kit banded to it in the event of separation from my pack.Apr 21, 2013 at 6:35 am #1978948

The rafting community has had endless arguments about the pros and cons of river knife features: single-edged vs double-edged, serrated vs straight, pointed tip vs blunt, secure attachment, color, and on and on.
The Boat People web site has a pretty good selection, and Lee (the owner) writes a pretty good description (not vendor-puffery) for each knife they carry:
I'm a very occasional customer, and Lee is a nice guy. I'm sure if you contact him about knife weights, he'll respond.

Just a knife to consider, i carry a "Spyderco Enuff H1" while on the water. Great little fixed blade and the H1 steel will not rust at all, even in salt water (nitrogen based). Its a sheeps foot design and serrated with a 2.5 inch blade length. They also make the enuff in other blade shapes but only in VG10 stainless (fine for freshwater but will rust in saltwater). Just another one to consider…

Thanks to the doping scandal involving Russian athletes, the Rio Games are already guaranteed to earn a spot in the long list of controversial and shocking moments in Olympic history. More than 100 would-be Russian Olympians are sitting out the 2016 Olympics, including all of the all athletes in weightlifting and track and field. A number of Russian athletes were also banned from swimming, rowing and canoeing, based off the decisions of their international sports federations. [ + - ]
Questions were raised over the judges' decision to award Russia's Adelina Sotnikova the gold medal in women's singles figure skating over Yuna Kim of South Korea at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Critics note that one of the judges had been suspended for a year for trying to fix an event at the Winter Olympics 16 years before and that another is married to the head of the Russian figure skating federation. [ + - ]
In 1994, Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the knee during a practice round on the eve of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Detroit, Mich. She was forced to drop out of the competition, which Tonya Harding won two days later. Harding would end up finishing eighth at the 1994 Winter Olympics, behind Kerrigan, who won silver. The U.S. Figure Skating Association would later strip Harding of the U.S. title after authorities found that she had failed to prevent the assault, which was planned by her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, and her bodyguard, Shawn Eckhardt, and conducted by Shane Stant. Harding ultimately pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to hinder prosecution of the attackers. Gillooly, Eckhardt and Stant all served time in prison for the attack. [ + - ]
Black sprinter Jesse Owens won four gold medals in the 1936 games, which were held in Berlin. The story goes that Adolf Hitler did not honor Owens the same way he honored other top athletes at the games. Owens repeatedly recounted the Hitler snub throughout his life. [ + - ]
American athlete Jim Thorpe was stripped of the gold medals he won in the 1912 summer Olympics in Stolkholm, Sweden after it was revealed that he played professional minor league baseball three years earlier. The medals were later reinstated in 1983, decades after his death. [ + - ]
A pipe bomb exploded at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Olympics. A security guard named Richard Jewell, who was initially falsely accused as a suspect, discovered the bomb and was able to clear most of the spectators before it detonated. It was later discovered that Eric Robert Rudolph was responsible for the attack that killed two people and injured 111 others. [ + - ]
In 2007, track star Marion Jones surrendered the three gold medals and two bronze medals she won at the 2000 Summer Olympics after pleading guilty in U.S. District Court to lying to federal agents under oath about her use of steroids before the Olympics. [ + - ]
Hope Solo, the goalie for the U.S. women's soccer team, admitted she was drunk during an appearance on "The Today Show" while being honored for a gold medal win at the August 2008 Beijing Olympics. She also received a public warning from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after she tested positive for the banned substance Canrenone in a urine test. [ + - ]
Many questioned whether the members of the female Chinese gymnastics team were actually younger than they the required age of 16 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In the end, the International Olympic Committee concluded that everything was legal. [ + - ]
Michael Phelps, the most decorated U.S. swimmer in Olympics history, was photographed smoking pot at the University of South Carolina in 2009. The picture was published on the cover of News of the World following his eight gold medal wins in Beijing, and Phelps' endorsement deals suffered. Phelps later won four gold medals and two silver medals at the 2012 Olympics in London. [ + - ]
Oscar Pistorius was the star of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London due to his ability to overcome his disability. The world was shocked when the double amputee was charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February 2013, after she was found fatally shot in Pistorius' home. He was found guilty of culpable homicide in the fall of 2014 and initially sentenced to five years in prison. However, as he was about to be released to house arrest after serving 10 months of his sentence, his case was reconsidered. On appeal, he was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to six years in prison. [ + - ]
After the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency handed down a lifetime ban in 2012 that also cost him his record seven Tour de France victories, Lance Armstrong immediately started losing sponsors, the LiveStrong company that he founded and his Olympic bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney games. [ + - ]
At the Munich Olympic Games in 1972, a Palestinian terrorist group called "Black September" took 11 Israel athletes hostage in what is regarded as the worst attack in the history of the Games. Two of the athletes were killed in the attack and the other nine died the following day during a failed rescue attempt by German police officers that also left five of the eight terrorists dead. This memorial plaque stands in front of the Israeli athletes' quarters commemorating the victims. [ + - ]

I'll be donning black and white but I guess it's still colourMarina ErakovicThe whites are gone and there's not as much shampoo, conditioner or hair straighteners in the locker room but Marina Erakovic feels like she's barely left Wimbledon this year.
The world No 46 was beaten in the second round a month ago at the All England Club but has returned after a couple of hard court outings to seek Olympic success.
"Things are different. It's a bit more simple this time around but with lots of volunteers. You go in, do your thing and get out.
"In Beijing you felt like they'd built this whole place in the middle of nowhere. Everything was spread out, it's not as accessible as here but tennis-wise it is easier because I know Wimbledon well.
"It feels like I haven't left. It's all very familiar. I played a couple of hard court tournaments in the meantime and Wimbledon plays like that. When the weather's nice here the balls bounce higher so getting used to the grass again has been easy."
Erakovic has had some travel difficulties.
"That's been the only hassle so far. You have to spend the whole day at Wimbledon because the travel situation doesn't really allow us to go back and forth. It feels like you're going to a job - you get stuck in traffic going there and back.
"But I want to be in the village; that's part of the Olympic experience."
Erakovic welcomes the move away from whites at Wimbledon as she prepares for her second Games.
"There's a lot of colour going on and that's nice, mixed with the pink embankments. I'll be donning black and white but I guess it's still colour."
Despite her efforts at diplomacy, the Olympics still rate as secondary in Erakovic's career-view.
"They're probably up with the Grand Slams but if it was a choice between Wimbledon or the Olympics, I'd go for Wimbledon. It's not to say Olympic gold wouldn't be incredible but Wimbledon is the pinnacle.
The draw was due out overnight. If Erakovic plays on Saturday rather than Sunday she won't go to the opening ceremony.
Victoria Azarenka is seeded No 1 for the women's singles.

By JOHN VASTYAN, Common Ground, Manheim, Pa.
In a piping system, water is intended to flow in one direction: from the supply to the point of delivery. Danger lurks when the pressure in a system exceeds the pressure of the supply. Anytime pressure in a system drops, even momentarily, the system is subject to backflow, back pressure, or back siphonage, opening the door to contamination. This can happen all too easily when a water main is shut off, a water main is broken, or water demand surges in a specific area.
A proposed standard intended to create smart facilities in support of a national smart-grid effort is open for an advisory public review ending Sept. 3.

Electro-Voice NetMax shines at 2009 NFL Pro Bowl
Custom Audio of Kaneohe, Hawaii returned to Honolulu on Feb. 8 to provide sound reinforcement for the final NFL Pro Bowl at Aloha Stadium. Custom Audio's Jeff Kang used Electro-Voice NetMax signal processing and IRIS-Net control software with a system comprising equipment from Midas, Klark Teknik, and Dynacord to provide unparalleled sonic performance for the game, halftime show (featuring performers Enrique Iglesias and Ciara), and national anthem, sung by American Idol runner-up David Archuleta prior to kickoff.
"For other Pro Bowls I had been using multiple DSP to control delay times, EQ, and signal distribution around the field," says Kang. "This year I ran everything through the NetMax, and sent all the functions - delay times, EQ, signal distribution - straight to the amp racks. So basically all the control was held at the Front of House position. Last year we ran things via a UCC1 (USB/CAN interface), but this year I decided to be a bit daring and try everything on the NetMax - it worked great! The touch panel stayed with me at FOH the whole time."
NetMax and IRIS-Net provide Custom Audio the ultimate in flexibility and convenience for any event, but the benefits of NetMax design were never so apparent than between performances at the Pro Bowl.
"We have two operating modes," says Kang, "a show mode and a game mode, and switching between the two involves changing delay times on the field speakers and turning speaker stacks on and off. Thanks to NetMax, I was able to do all that from my touch panel within a matter of seconds, as opposed to actually walking to the amp racks and turning volumes up and down. I just made a preset button for show mode and another for game mode and switched between the two. It was incredibly simple."
In addition to the convenience of preset buttons, Kang also enjoys NetMax's ability to consolidate and streamline DSP and coordinate his equipment.
"This year NetMax allowed me to eliminate multiple DSP units and replace them with one. Everything came out perfectly synchronized; I wasn't worried about processing times. In a stadium as large as Aloha you might not be able to tell if the system has millisecond delays, but when television broadcast is involved an unsynchronized system is very noticeable. It means a lot to have a system as synchronized as this."
Equipment (selected):
Electro-Voice NetMax N8000 (with TPI-12 color touch panel)
Klark Teknik SQ1D Square One Dynamics processor

Sometimes when reviewing an app, it can be hard to separate your feelings about it from whether or not it is actually good or not. Super Why ABC Adventures: Alphabet is one of those cases. Based on the PBS show, the app is aimed at preschoolers aged four and up and teaches the alphabet through five games, each one hosted by a different Super Reader.
First of all let's get my thoughts out of the way. This app is really, really annoying. The music in the background is obnoxious if you leave it on beyond 30 seconds and the characters all talk too loudly as if they are shouting at my child. The colors are bright to the point of being garish; in fact the whole thing gives that chaotic sense of standing in a school playground with loud, boisterous activity exploding all around you. It's stimulating in the excess and there is no shutting it out when it's on in the same room – especially those alphabet songs. "U is for umbrella, lickety letters I'm your alphabet fella!" screeches a cartoon pig as I debate claiming on my insurance for an iPad that somehow managed to fly out of a window. There is a tracker in the settings that allows you to monitor how well your child is progressing with learning their letter sounds and names. This might be useful for older children, but for younger children who are guessing their way through the games it gives false data.

Hey Dick and Vincent
First of all I want to say that you guys do a great job and I got very excited when I heard you also wanted to make a podcast about parasites. You guys are great and I learn so much from both podcasts.
I'm studying biotechnology 3-semester at the Technical University of Denmark, but I'm planning to go into immunological bioinformatics, so I can also use it for my studies:)
I have a question about the size of parasite genomes, I am reading the newest edition of the "Brock Molecular Biology of Microorganisms" you guys mentioned in the last TWIP, and I'm afraid I got a bit confused (at page 354, chapter 13) it states that "Apart from the strange case of Trichomonas, parasitic eukaryotic microorganisms have genomes containing 10-30 Mbp...". So when you say that they have larger genomes is it only compared to related organisms or do they have bigger genomes than expected for their complexity? Maybe it is just Trichomonas that has a very big genome, but I would really like you to talk a bit more about it.
Thank you so much
P.S. Sorry about the english, it's my second language.

Dr Ross Wilson - Australian All Over 2013
Feb 13, 2013
Four years ago we instituted our Australian All Over award to recognise people who helped our program. But more importantly helped the community and set a good example for the rest of us.
Nominees have included Lyn Wilkinson of Ausbuy, Peter Olds an inventor and manufacturer and Kevin Butler from Blazeaid as people 'getting it done'
This year's Australian All Over for 2013 is rural doctor Ross Wilson. Dr Ross as I call him, in accepting this award said 'he would accept it on behalf of all the rural doctors working around Australia'. Dr Ross hails from Bathurst and as well as doing a fine job offering medical and emotional support to his patients and relief doctoring in far flung areas of Queensland because as he says ' they are in need of a break' and also donates his time to organisations such as St John Ambulance Brigade and to communities all over confronted by national disasters like bushfires that we've seen all too frequently this summer.
So on behalf of rural doctors all over, Dr Ross Wilson - Australian All Over 2013

Cook Up Vintage Style
The countertops are Okite's Bianco Regina. The cabinets are painted Grecian Ivory by Sherwin-Williams.
With the kitchen now open to the rest of the house, Chapman installed custom cabinets with a traditional aesthetic to bring cottage style to what had been a plain, charm-free space. Reproduction stools and vintage lighting add utility and an industrial, decorative edge.

A lo-fi internet connection coupled with inventory lapses in both Laser and HMV has left me with a hard-nosed jones to watch Mogambo, the 1953 flick starring Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly and Clark Gable. After reading Ava Gardner's memoir Ava: My Story, where she highlights the role in terms of one she wore as a second skin, as I turned the page I needed to see it like yesterday. (Plus the book is worth reading because it's filled with vivid detail, including Gardner's descriptions of the arguments if not battles she carried on with third husband Frank Sinatra, as well as candid assessments of the first two marriages to Mickey Rooney and Artie Shaw. Gardner's memoir is so juicy it should come with a napkin). What most peeks my interest about Gardner's recollection of Mogambo is that the storyline takes a radical departure from the Hollywood playbook wherein so-called 'Bad Girls' such as her character Eloise Kelly seldom land the man and have the happy ending. Eloise, a tippling fast-talker, lands her guy over the prim Linda Nordley, played by Grace Kelly. (Have to admit that I was never a fan of Grace Kelly. If she were on the Hollywood scene today, she'd be the type to marry Tom Cruise. She's creepy and bloodless onscreen).
Traditionally, celluloid narrative arcs set for the 'Bad Girl' stock figure dictate she never gets the guy in the fade out. Trangressive women onscreen have existed to receive punishment, comeuppance, even death in order to underscore the normative morality culture proscribes, as the stuff of which conservative gender roles play a significant part. Whether uppity, slutty, boozy or back-talkers, all such offending women have been served a lesson on film. Cinema screens have produced a sizeable catalogue of Bad Girls in need of correction, from Louise Brooks as Lulu in Pandora's Box (1929); Bette Davis as Julie in Jezebel (1938); Joan Crawford's Crystal Allen in The Women (1939); Elizabeth Taylor's Oscar winning turn Gloria Wandrous in Butterfield 8 (1959) (a film which she—to her credit—referred to as a 'piece of shit'); Ava Gardner later in Night of the Iguana; up to the plot resolution of Maeve Binchy's Circle of Friends, audiences have become primed for the Bad Girl to be issued a smackdown before the final scene.
There are two qualifiers which offer an alternative ending for Bad Girls on film: mistaken identity or reform, resulting in vindication or transformation for the lady in question. Rita Hayworth as titular Gilda set the gold standard for the conception of Emma Stone's character Olive in Easy A,or other films featuring the message about the danger of hasty judgements of a lady's character, but only when she hasn't actually earned the defamatory slut shaming. Then there's the case of reformed Bad Girls,those ladies ranging from Eliza Doolittle to Julia Roberts' Pretty Woman who share the same reformation-as-fairy tale ending, which reminds the Bad Girls that they just have to become whatever a man wants in order for their happy ending to be realised. Cue the eyeroll, right?
The elusive fourth option, to stay a Bad Girl and still get the man seems the point of Mogambo. Maybe we need to gather to screen this rare gem?
So what about an Anti Room Film Club?
Anyone interested in meeting up to screen and discuss classic films?

An injured Sacramento woman was found April 6 near Spy Rock Road outside of Laytonville following an extensive search by neighbors, friends, law enforcement officers and search and rescue teams. She is expected to recover from her injuries.
Kathy J. Morgan, 66, of Sacramento, was visiting a Spy Rock area cabin when she took a walk at around 1:30 p.m. on April 5. She was carrying a camera and was not equipped to remain outside overnight.
Her hosts became very concerned when Morgan had not returned by 8 p.m. and alerted the authorities. The cabin is located in a remote area near the Eel River. The search area was extremely steep and heavily wooded. Neighbors on ATVs searched the roadway that evening but could not locate the missing woman due to darkness and the rugged terrain.
The next morning search teams began a systematic search of the area and located Morgan. She had tumbled about 300 feet down into a steep ravine. Morgan found the slope too steep to climb out. When rescuers found her she had minor injuries, was dehydrated and was suffering from exposure.
A California Highway Patrol helicopter unit used a long line to lift Morgan out of the ravine and then took her to the Ukiah Valley Medical Center for treatment.

Crooks pose as State Troopers in phone scam
CO State Patrol warns of callers threatening lawsuit, arrest
EL PASO CO., Colo. - The Colorado State Patrol is warning of a phone scam where the caller claims to be a State Trooper and threatens a lawsuit, criminal prosecution, arrest or incarceration if the person doesn't pay up.
Troopers have gotten reports of the calls in the El Paso County area.
According to a press release Thursday, troopers say the callers can be very convincing by giving the victim their badge number, asking the victim to call another (fictitious) trooper at another number, referencing other law enforcement agencies, and referring the victim to other legitimate websites (such as the financial crimes enforcement network) to lend credibility to their claims.
State patrol said the callers can become aggressive and try to intimidate potential victims.
"Members of the public should understand that the Colorado State Patrol does not engage in debt collection practices or investigations that would lead to the direct solicitation of funds," said Trooper Josh Lewis in the press release.
If you receive a call like this, call the Colorado Springs office of the Colorado State Patrol at 719-635-0385.

What is the difference between 10k gold chains and 14k gold chains?
Gold is alloyed with another metal in order to make it more durable and affordable.
· 14-karat (14k) is 58.3% pure gold
· 10-karat (10k) is 42% pure gold
How do I choose the right chain length?
Every product page on our website has a graphic of a mannequin displaying the different chain lengths.
Standard classic gold chains for men come in a wide variety of lengths, from 16" all the way up to 30". As with chain width, you can get longer chains and the length that you decide on depends on your own sense of style.
· 16" and 18″– These are good sizes for a teenager as they might be a bit tight for an adult.
· 20″– A 20" chain is usually worn under a shirt and reaches down between the first and second button.
· 22″– This is the mid-range chain and is very versatile. It can be worn under or over the shirt and reaches down to just below the second button of a shirt.
· 24″– Due to the length of this chain it is generally worn outside of the shirt and extends as far as the middle of the sternum.
· 30″– This is the longest standard-size chain and is usually worn outside of the shirt.
How do I choose the right chain width?
One of the biggest issues that our customers have is visualizing chain width. In order to show you the fantastic detail on each chain, the photos on our website are close-ups so the chains may look wider when you're viewing them online. For this reason we have a graphic accompanying each chain that shows the width of that particular chain. But we also recommend that you refer to a ruler or measuring tape before you purchase so you can visualize what 1mm or 5mm or 10mm actually looks like. If you have any questions, just send an email to our experts at email@example.com

What is Rhodium?
Rhodium is a member of the platinum group. It is an extremely precious metal and can be up to ten times the cost of gold. It is not an ideal metal for making jewelry due to its brittle nature.

It was so quiet Friday afternoon at the Solano County Fair, you could hear a pig drop.
Of course, that's the way it is before a tidal wave. And nobody knows it more than Mike Loebs, the 14-year superintendant of the art building responsible for the fair's decor for "Cruisin' the County" that runs Wednesday through Aug. 3.
"It's kind of like the calm before the storm," said Loebs. "It seems like nothing is happening and then Saturday it all breaks loose. There's a blitz at the end and it all gets done."
Workers arrive today and Sunday to set the foundation for the 65th annual event that assuredly will see tolerable temperatures with 82 forecast Wednesday. Much better than the three straight days of 111 degrees about eight years ago, said Loebs, responsible for that year's theme of "Hot Fun in the Summertime."
"I was blamed for that for years," he said.
Not that it made it any easier for Loebs and his crew of three earlier this week, laboring in the blistering heat. No matter, said the 62-year-old with Fairfield roots.
"I get to be creative and do a job that I like," he said, grateful the 360 pieces of art and framed photography and poetry are already mounted and ready for viewing.
Loebs also has about 10 of Vallejo businessman Buck Kamphausen's vintage vehicles to spread around the grounds, including a miniature "Picasso Car."
"My favorite," Loebs said.
Loebs gets to design the area he visited as a child, eventually graduating from Armijo High School and earning a degree in visual design at the University of California at Berkeley.
"I've always been artistic," he said, proud that the fair's art exhibit welcomes everyone.
"It's one of the only art exhibits left that accepts everyone," he said. "We're not a juried show. We took all 360 entries. That's the fun part."
Loebs again mixes in art from "special friends," proud that the 10-year program doesn't segregate the developmentally challenged.
"It's integrated into the exhibit there's no special wall," he said.
The fair runs daily 3 to 11 p.m., with the headline music including Con Funk Shun, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Los Lobos, The Guess Who, and Gracielita Beltran.
Daily attractions include the usual array of fair food and the Midway. The Great American Petting Zoo, Brad's World of Reptiles, Sadie the Balloon Lady, pig races, hypnotist Steve Bayner, nightly karaoke, Solano Stars vocal competition, dance competition, and the community stage are daily activities. Fireworks finishes off each day at 9:45 p.m.
The livestock area features the usual four-legged critters with the junior livestock auction on the final day.
General admission is $8 pre-sale online at SCFair.com by Tuesday. Advance price for children 6 to 12 and seniors 60 and older is $4. Add $2 if purchased after Tuesday. A carnival wristband for unlimited rides is $20 advance, $20 after the fair starts.
For more information, visit scfair.com or call (707) 551-2000.

text: how long it takes to freeze up a load solid depends on the outside temperatures and how directly the cooled air can contact the frames. if it is 80 degrees F., it takes a lot longer than if it is 40 degrees F. outside. if the load is in shrink wraped boxes it takes a lot longer. at say 55 degrees out side and the load is only half what will fit in the trailer it should be frozen solid in a day or so. so maybee25 gallons at $4 would be $100 at most. the load air temperature will be down to frozen food range [10 degrees ] in less time, a few hours, the unit will then idle and save some fuel. yes it costs money to run a refer.

Columbia Regional Airport selling consistent tickets
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Columbia Regional Airport is staying busy this summer.
Since March, airport officials haven't paid American Airlines for lack of people flying.
The American flight to Chicago Tuesday was even overbooked. One traveler said this is the first time she's seen this happen.
Although it is concerning to travelers, it's situations like this that makes airport officials and American Airlines happy with customers traveling through the airport.
"I thought I was catching the bus to go see my grandma. It's wonderful!" said Pat Etienne, a Columbia Regional Airport traveler.
For the third month in a row, Columbia Regional Airport hit the mark of ticket sales, meaning the airport doesn't have to pay American Airlines.
Etienne moved from Los Angeles and appreciates having a local airport.
"Of course it's expeditious from terminal on to your little plane that is waiting for you, when you come back, you come right into the baggage claim area," Etienne said.
Airport officials are also pleased with Mid-Missouri's support of the local airport.
"Things are looking good. I'm real excited about us not having to pay American, and that's proof that it's working. Some of the naysayers out there are saying, 'What are you guys doing?' We are doing what we're doing because we believe it's going to be successful and it has been," said Greg Cecil, chair of the airport board.
Earlier this year, Delta Airlines and Frontier Airlines pulled out of the Columbia market.
Their departures were disappointing, but they haven't stopped the airport from hoping to keep growing.
Construction is happening on the runway. When that is finished, a new terminal could be on the way.
"I think it's a preview of what is coming. We're growing faster than we realize. But also now we've lost an airlines, do we only have one serving us now," Etienne said.
While officials are optimistic, not all travelers share that vision.
"I hate to see that we are growing so much that it's going to be competitive with other larger airports," said Etienne.
The contract with American Airlines is a two-year deal, ending the beginning of 2015.
Airport officials hope the progress made with American Airlines and their ticket sales will attract other airlines to Columbia.

Emerging Markets Power Rankings: ASEAN, Turkey Bloodbath; Emerging Europe Calm
I will start each week highlighting previous week's best and worst performing emerging-markets single country exchange-traded funds, using the most heavily traded for each nation. Frontier markets are not included–yet.
Emerging markets started last week with continued sell-off from the fear of Fed QE tapering. They recovered a bit Thursday and Friday on strong manufacturing data that came out of China, U.S. and Euro zone. Regardless, The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) ended the week 1.7% lower.
The biggest five losers are ASEAN + Turkey:
- #1 The iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (EIDO) -13.2%. Indonesian rupiah lost the most against the dollar last week (-3.8%), aggravating 8.7% loss in the Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index.
- The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) -9.6%. Turkish lira lost 2.7% against the dollar (third largest loser after Indonesian rupiah and Indian rupee) and the Borsa Instanbul National 100 Index lost 8.5%.
- The iShares MSCI Thailand Capped ETF (THD) -8.4%. Thai baht lost 2% and the Stock Exchange of Thailand SET Index lost 7.4%.
- The iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (EPHE) -6.5%. Philippines peso fell 1.4%. The Philippines Stock Exchange PSEi Index fell 5.6%.
- The iShares MSCI Malaysia ETF (EWM) -4.1%. Malaysian ringgit lost 0.7% and the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI lost 3.8%.
Poland and Russia remain relatively calm and the became the biggest winners:
- The Market Vectors Russia ETF Trust (RSX) +1.6%.The Russia RTS Index gained 0.6% and decline in Russian rouble (-0.4%) was subdued. 40% of this ETF's holdings is in oil & energy, destined for recovery from strong U.S. and China.
- The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ) +1.5%. The Brazil Bovespa Index gained 1.3%, partially offsetting 1% decline in Brazilian real.
- iShares MSCI Poland Capped ETF (EPOL) +1.1%. Polish zloty gained 0.6% against the dollar, making it the strongest emerging market currency last week. The Poland WIG Index lost 0.2%.
India was grabbing headlines but managed to eek out of the big 5 loser list. The WisdomTree Trust India Earnings Fund (EPI) managed to lose 1.8% (only), despite 0.7% loss in India S&P BSE 100 and 3.7% loss in the Indian rupee (second largest currency loss after Indonesia). This ETF weighs towards technology and basic materials, which have gained last week. The Market Vectors ETF Trust Small Cap Index (SCIF) is not as lucky, falling 2.9%.

Web Exclusive
Cheers! Peggy Kinnane's serves up Marquette basketball in Chicago's Northwest suburbs
By Chris Jenkins
Photo courtesy Ed Taicsich, Arts '76
Hoping to break up the monotony of a drab February a few years ago, Jim Bristol figured it might be fun to go watch Marquette basketball take on Louisville at his favorite local pub Peggy Kinnane's in Arlington Heights, Ill.
So Bristol, Bus Ad '77, asked a few of his friends if they might want to join him. They put the word out to a few of their friends … and 75 people showed up.
"We took over about half the bar!" Bristol says.
Fast forward to Marquette's much-hyped game against Ohio State at the beginning of the 201213 season, which was to be played on the deck of an aircraft carrier. The game wound up being canceled because of moisture on the deck but for the 130-plus fans at Peggy's that night, it didn't put too much of a damper on the party.
"Then they canceled the game and nobody went home," Bristol says. "The Marquette crowd's kind of thirsty."
The Marquette crowd has been a boost to business for Derek Hanley, the bar's owner. After coming to the U.S. from Ireland in 1985 and spending time in New York, Boston and Los Angeles, he settled in Chicago 17 years ago. He started the bar 12 years ago, naming it after his mother who still lives in Ireland.
That's how Hanley met Bristol, who was working for the company developing the building and supervising the build-out of retail spaces. The two became friends, and Bristol became a regular.
"My crowning achievement in life to date is that I helped to build an Irish pub within walking distance of my home," Bristol says, with a laugh.
Hanley wasn't out to create a sports bar; the entire interior of the bar came from Ireland, an attempt to retain authenticity. But as Bristol kept bringing more Marquette fans in recent years, Hanley has added televisions including a 100-inch screen that drops down behind the live music stage.
He also puts out a free chili bar during big games.
"It's great," Hanley says of Marquette fans. "It's fun, it's exciting. You can feel the buzz of course, especially when they're winning, everybody's pumped up. It gets loud. In a good way."
Several other Chicago-area establishments host Marquette game-watching parties, including Schoolyard Tavern, Blue Bayou, Four Shadows Tavern and Grill and The Hidden Shamrock in Chicago; Emmett's Brewing Company in Downers Grove; O'Sullivan's Public House in Forest Park, Grandpa's and McGovern's Public House in Glenview; and Quigley's Irish Pub in Oak Lawn.
At Peggy's, Bristol wants to make the group even bigger and continues to send out reminders before big games to his ever-growing email list. In conjunction with the Marquette University Alumni Association, the group has done ticket-raffle fundraisers for the Marquette Club of Chicago Endowed Scholarship fund.
And when a former Marquette basketball player who lives in the area, Bill Downey, needed a lift to come watch a game at Peggy's, Bristol was more than happy to go pick him up. Bristol says Downey shared stories about playing against Hall of Famer George Mikan.
The game-watching group at Peggy's spans a wide range of ages, from recent graduates to young families with children and up through the years.
"We've got alums, consistently, from the '60s, the '70s, the '80s and of course newer ones," Bristol says. "It's been a wide range. The crowds have been good and have been growing."
Bristol figures it's even a recruiting tool for prospective students.
"I know one family in particular, their kid's at Marquette right now," Bristol says. "I don't know whether coming to watch basketball games at Peggy's had anything to do with it, but certainly they got a feel for the Marquette alums just by hanging around."

Tomorrow is my class reunion. A catered dinner - that can be good or bad. I have to travel 100 miles and usually don't overeat on the road. I've lost more weight since the 31th - don't know what's going on, but I'll take it. Until last month, I hadn't lost more than 2 pounds in a month for a least 15 years.
I know we are very late up here in the north country, but the peaches are ripening. They are so good. My night snack has been a fresh peach with peach Greek yogurt and walnuts. Yummy and very filling.
I AM losing weight and becoming healthier.
