st: -spmap- filling map polygons with patterns instead of color
Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:24:03 -0600
I am using Stata 11 on Windows Vista. I use –spmap- program
(downloaded from SSC) authored by Maurizio Pisati to draw various
maps. Since I have to print these maps in black and white, I am
looking at filling the map polygons with patterns like stripes,
crosses, etc.
I came across a previous thread on the list
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2009-12/msg00630.html) in
which Sergiy had suggested that this could be done using his -twoway
parea- ado file availablefrom SSC. I have downloaded this ado file
and I also looked at the example "PareaMap.PNG" that Sergiy refers to
in his post. Even so, I am unable to figure out how the –twoway
parea- command could be integrated with the –spmap- command. My
attempts like the two commands outlined below did not work
twoway parea spmap lq_accy using msacoord, id(msaid) pattern(pattern8)
spmap lq_accy using msacoord, id(msaid) pattern(pattern8)
Could someone please suggest the right way approach to this issue?

AT&T Discusses Disaster Preparedness
Representatives from wireless carrier AT&T sat down with Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder and community leaders from Southern Queens and Rockaway to discuss the carrier's approach to disaster relief and recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy.
Hank Iori, president of the Belle Harbor Homeowners Association and Danny Ruscillo, president of the 100th Precinct Community Council, joined Goldfeder during the discussion with the cell phone company.
"Following Superstorm Sandy, in addition to the physical destruction, thousands across Southern Queens and Rockaway were left without cellular service or means of communication," Goldfeder said. "I applaud AT&T for being the first carrier to respond to our concerns and taking steps to ensure our families are able to communicate in the wake of disaster."
Earlier this year, Goldfeder sent a letter to the biggest cell phone providers throughout New York City, including, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint, asking for updates on their upgrades, resiliency measures and future storm contingency plans. In his letter, Goldfeder invited companies to meet to discuss their upgrades and requested each company discuss the changes they have made after Sandy to prepare for future emergencies and how they intend to help customers in the wake of another disaster.
"During any major storm event, it is essential that cellular towers stay equipped to provide communications to those impacted," Iori said. "After Hurricane Sandy, all communications were down in Rockaway. All essential communications stopped. We appreciate AT&T's effort to begin the conversation with us and we look forward to following their progress on this matter to keep our communities safe."
"After meeting with AT&T, it is my hope that their company now understands the needs of our community and responds quicker when it comes to any emergency like Superstorm Sandy," Ruscillo said. "As we all know, communication during the storm was a dangerous problem. I want to thank Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder for arranging this very important meeting."
"We have been through enough after Superstorm Sandy and cannot wait for another disaster to take action," Goldfeder said. "I look forward to working with AT&T and urge all other cell phone providers to follow in their footsteps and meet with our community to hear our concerns."

Hopkins, Jones quotes
Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. showed why they're both world class trash-talkers during a NYC presser for their April 3 PPV rematch at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
BERNARD HOPKINS: "Roy Jones Jr. had nothing to do with my legacy and career up until now, but I will be the final chapter [of his]….everyone has it in their spirit to get somebody back. Whether it is justified or unjustified. This fight is redemption in a lot of ways – to finish him once and for all. I can't speak for Roy, but my name is 'The Executioner.' I execute. I am going for his head. He (Jones) won that fight. I have watched that tape a million times. What Roy has to understand is that I got better. I have a resume to show that I have gotten better. That is the difference between then and now. Come April 3, Roy Jones Jr is going to realize that his worst nightmare has come true. It is important to get the knockout. There is a financial incentive. I want to finally close a chapter personally. This is a 17 year rivalry. I am going to kick his ass."
ROY JONES: "Now, 'Big Head' (Hopkins) has got to get it in his mind. We both went on to do good things in this sport. Mine was great early. His was great late. The facts wont change I am still going to beat him. I only hit with one hand last time. I've got two hands now. With two hands, I'm going to beat the hell out of this old man. I never have dodged 'Big Head', and I never will….I have been trying to fight the bastard for five years. I know Bernard Hopkins. I know him very well. I have never taken anything lightly [and given him reason] to say he hopes I am ready. I don't duck and dodge anyone. I was the test he had to pass to get out of high school. He didn't pass that test. Now he wants to retake the test! Like I said I am still me. I can care less about how much better he has gotten. My job is to knock him out on April 3 and that is what I am going to do."

Online dating is set to take to the skies with a new booking system that lets passengers choose who they want to sit next to on a flight.
Airlines are already testing the "social seating" software that allows travellers to browse other passengers' Facebook or LinkedIn profiles before they fly.
They can then choose their ideal neighbour and message them before the flight. The idea is for passengers to be able to select people with the same interests as their neighbour.
Accessing the websites will also allow them to make selections based on their profession and looks - or at least enable them to avoid travellers from hell.
Dutch airline KLM and Malaysia Airlines are both testing the software, dubbed "in-flight dating", and it is hoped other airlines could soon follow.
Stuart Miles, of gadget website Pocket Lint, said: "It's a brilliant idea. It would allow me to arrange 'chance' meetings with people if I want to network - or avoid annoying people. I hope more airlines start using it."
The KLM service, called Meet & Seat, is available on flights between Amsterdam and New York, San Francisco and São Paulo but could soon be introduced on British routes. Hundreds have already used the system.
Erik Varwijk, a managing director in charge of passenger business at KLM, said: "For at least 10 years, there has been this question about serendipity and whether you could improve the chances of meeting someone interesting onboard but the technology just wasn't available until now."
For travellers who prefer to put on their headphones and ignore their neighbour, however, there will be an opt-out option so they don't have to share personal information.
A travel company, called AirTroductions, made headlines in 2006 by offering an online dating service for frequent flyers, giving them the chance to meet other travellers.
Pre-boarding hypnotism
Passengers frightened of flying were put into a trance by a TV hypnotist at Heathrow to curb their fears.
Dominic Knight hypnotised a record 73 aviophobics near Terminal 5.
He said: "Hypnosis is a powerful and effective way to overcome the anxiety and the fear of flying in record time.
"It was great to be able to do it on such a large scale."

A computer simulation or a computer model is a computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system.
Computer simulations have become a useful part of mathematical modelling of many natural systems in physics, chemistry and biology, human systems in economics, psychology, and social science and in the process of engineering new technology, to gain insight into the operation of those systems.
Traditionally, the formal modeling of systems has been via a mathematical model, which attempts to find analytical solutions to problems which enables the prediction of the behaviour of the system from a set of parameters and initial conditions.
Computer simulations build on, and are a useful adjunct to purely mathematical models in science, technology and entertainment.
The reliability and the trust people put in computer simulations depends on the validity of the simulation model.

You don't have a clue and you would jump on the wagon with anyone who disagreed with anything I said, you chose your name well!
I would agree with you or anyone else when they know what they are telling others.,,but your misconception on this topic is not correct. You have offered no scientific evidence to state other wise. Because a bunch of low budget body shops use 2 stage compressors you consider them the best.
A body shop would use a rotary (you do know what that is) IF they could afford it.. They don't because they dont have the $$ to invest in top line equipment.
2 stage compressors have been the norm for years. Back in the early days there were not many hi capacity single stage compressors, so to get capacity a person had to step up to 2 stage. After many years of 2 stage being the way to go,it became "bible" that they are better. Not science, just legend.
Today single stage air compressors are readily available that perform equal to the more expensive 2 stage compressors up to the 100-120 psi range. Above that a secondary stage is required to increase the pressure,, NOT the volume.
by your way of thinking the new 400psi compressors for nail guns will surely replace the 2 stage you are so set on being the best
.More pressure is better, NOT. show me one air tool used in a body shop that has a manufacturer recommended operating pressure of over 100psi.
Why make heat to get 175 psi air when you dont need the pressure. You point out how the 2 stage has cooler air because it has a piece of fin tube between the first and second stage. That thing is there to cool the air so it doesnt super heat during the higher pressures it will be subjected to
It has nothing to do with 2 stages being cooler, quite the opposite it is hotter if not inter cooled.
capacity at 100 psi in scfm is the same whether it is made in a single or multiple stage process.
your 35 years working on air compressors does not impress me,I too did the same thing for 30 years,single stage, 2 stage, screw, vane, rotary turbine, along with piston, gear, vane, centrifugal, multi stage centrifugal pumps, operating with psi ranges up to 12000 psi.
You can continue to spread your misconception without any more of my input, it does not good to try and correct your misconception
One thing we can agree upon is we are not going to agree on this subject..
Believe what you like, but telling me I am "so mistaken" without offering anything but opinion is doing exactly what you have accused me of. I think everyone else here knows the real facts so say what you want I am not going to be drawn into another useless argument because you are disputing common compressor knowledge not my opinion. Did you bother to check any of the links? I am not going to try to prove anything to you by searching for info so do a Google search and look it up for yourself. So far the the only thing either of you two have provided (besides some childish name calling and jabs from you) is opinion based on what you believe. The fact that even the compressor manufacturers explain about the better efficiency of two stage vs single stage pumps was simply explained away by saying it is "just **** written by idiots", Really? Ok you evidently know more about it than even the manufacturers.
Just a short quote from that hydraulics/pneumatics site,
" A two-stage (actually it said multi-stage, I did not simply copy/paste) unit compresses from inlet to discharge pressure in two operations - generally passing the air through an intercooler to remove some of the heat of compression between each stage. This SAVES POWER (sound suspiciously like more efficient?) and keeps the compressor's operating temperatures lower."
The other site states that the efficiency in a two-stage air compressor is, in their words, MUCH HIGHER than in a single stage air compressor. It also states that a two-stage air compressor produces MORE CUBIC FEET OF AIR PER HP THAN A SINGLE STAGE COMPRESSOR which results in lower operating costs, they then point out that with a two-stage air compressor less heat is generated.
Actually lower peak temperatures are generated because part of the total heat is removed during the cylinder exchange of the compressed air.
That's just a couple of places but there are lot's more, all are part of the compressor company conspiracy to mis-lead everyone and are just as wrong I suppose.
I guess since it is just **** coming from idiots it don't mean much anyway.
Once before when discussing two stage vs single another fellow put it like this, it is much easier for a compressor to compress 1 atmosphere to 4 by doing it in two stages rather than all at once, that's what spreading out the load means and why that mechanical advantage truly is an advantage. By removing some of the energy stored in the air as heat before further compressing it by a smaller more mechanically advantaged piston less total resistance will be met during both stages in the two stage vs the single stage being required to do it all in one operation and without the benefit of being able to remove some of the stored energy (heat). You could compress air to much higher pressures, although heat removal would have to be dealt with, with a single stage compressor of a given HP rating but in order to do so the CFM would have to be reduced drastically by using a smaller pump or reducing RPM. If the CFM was not reduced then the CFM/pressure/HP required would quickly exceed the HP limit. The two stage, by more efficiently using the available HP, CAN easily produce these higher pressures while still maintaining a higher CFM rate. My point is that if you tried to increase the cut-out pressure of a single stage compressor, of say 5 HP, to about 160 PSI or higher it would overload the motor by trying to produce that much pressure at a CFM rate equivalent to what a two stage could easily do with the exact same power. How can the two stage do this? By using it's available power much more efficiently.
Let's try an example. A single stage compressor of 18.1 CFM@90 PSI (Let's assume these specs are correct and use the compressor that started this) producing 5 HP will be at very near the limit of the motor's power curve at cut-off, if you tried to increase the pressure much higher at all while still producing that much CFM (or even the the amount the CFM would normally drop as pressure increases) you would quickly exceed the motor rating. A two stage would have no trouble at all producing that much pressure while still maintaining an equivalent, or even higher, CFM rating using the same motor. Don't believe that? Just check out a few compressor specs. The single stage and two stage compressors of the same HP will be producing very similar CFM numbers at the single stage cut-out pressure but the two stage can continue to increase pressure (while still maintaining CFM) without exceeding the motor power rating while the single can not. Again if it were not for the fact that the two stage uses it's avaliable power more efficiently it could not do this. To put it bluntly a 5 HP two stage can easily produce 16 CFM or so at 175 PSI but a single stage would smoke that 5 HP motor long before reaching that kind of pressure and CFM, even if it could deal with the extremely hot discharge air. A single stage is more efficient? Really?
Ok, I said earlier that not all two stage compressors use the high pressure and some will have cut-off settings similar to the single stage but apparently that is not done much anymore as I could not find an example of one still available, the one I had mentioned has a 175 PSI setting unless the owner wants a setting of 150 PSI. I can not see how this would have any bearing on the difference in efficiency of the two stage vs single from a mechanical perspective but I was evidently mistaken about this being fairly common, at least in recent years. Still I was mistaken on that point so take it however you like.

Are you suggesting it's easier to compress cool air than hot? I don't this this would be true and it seems like the whole thing would be a wash anyway.
I'm not trying to attack you. Your posts were incredibly helpful to me in choosing and setting up my compressor (ironically, the IR single stage.) But I think you may be wrong here. I have zero engineering expertise, but a little background in physics and it seems like the 2-stage is offering what we sometimes call a 'free lunch.'
There are whole (very successful) industries built around providing useless technology. Ab machine manufacturers spring to mind. And their explanations have the same tenuous ring as the 2-stage compressor companies'. "Get rock hard abs in three minutes a day with no strain or effort because our machine is SO much more efficient than situps."
I'd also bring up homeopathy and stereo cables, but I'd probably get flamed
No, it's not offering a free lunch at all but it is easy to see how it could be mis-understood. Remember the example I gave of a car with one gear? At extremes you could choose to have a low gear and plenty "pull out" torque but no high speed, or you could choose a higher gear and have a higher top speed but no pulling power, adding another gear greatly increases efficiency and allows you to have both. The same principle extreme applies since you can have a single stage pump producing high CFM but only at low pressure or you can have high pressure but only with low CFM, it can not pump high pressure and high volume at the same time. A compromise must be made then so with the car you could choose a gear that would allow an acceptable, but compromised, top speed while still allowing enough torque to start you moving. With the single stage compressor the compromise comes by setting the CFM@pressure to closely equal the motor HP (well nearly so anyway) at the desired cut-out pressure, any higher pressure at that CFM would exceed the motor HP.
A two stage compressor with a like size motor will produce a similar CFM as the single stage at the single stage cut-off point but at that point the single would have nearly maxed out the motor and can not pump any higher while the two stage will be using only a much smaller percentage of the available power allowing it to continue to a much higher peak pressure while still maintaining CFM (I am aware that heat plays a major role in selecting the single stage cut-off point but that does not change the fact that the motor is still nearly maxed out at that point and would overload if you tried to go higher at the same CFM). So it is not just at higher pressures, the two stage will be producing similar CFM but using less HP at the same pressure as the single at cut-off. Any argument that the two stage is producing significantly lower CFM at the single stage cut-off pressure would not make sense at all because that would mean excessively long recharge times, which simply is not the case with a two stage and I don't think many here would believe that it is! As far as the web site claim that the two stage is much more efficient, much more or slightly more, the fact that the two stage can pump a similar CFM to a much higher pressure on the same HP as the single stage, which could not reach that pressure, demonstrates efficiency, whether it is considered "much" or "slight" depends on who is considering and their definition of "much" and"slight".

Kingdom's win 'not as impressive'
With comparisons being made with Fairy King Prawn and even Silent Witness, the weight of expectation was almost too much for Sacred Kingdom, who kept his unbeaten status intact but looked significantly more mortal in his third win.
The son of leading Australian sire Encosta de Lago was a raging $13 favourite to win the Hong Kong University Alumni Association Challenge Cup and did so with a length to spare. But the effortless arrogance of his previous two wins was missing.
Trainer Ricky Yiu Poon-fie pointed to the sharp weight increase of 14 pounds, adding that Sacred Kingdom is still only a three-year-old racing against the older horses and with no weight concession.
But Yiu also admitted the boom youngster was showing signs that he was, perhaps, over the top, looking significantly more agitated than previously and sweating up behind the barriers.
'He's done a very good job, and it's hard to argue against a horse that's still unbeaten and has done what he's done,' Yiu said.
'But he was not as impressive today as he was at his last start.
'I think I should back off him a bit now, and give him a nice break between races. There is no hurry. He's done a very good job and with such a nice horse, it's important we look after him properly.'
Winning jockey Danny Nikolic, who has been on board Sacred Kingdom in all three wins, said he knew even before the gates opened that the brilliant youngster was not at the same pitch as his effortless last-start stroll on December 26.
'He was quite agitated behind the barriers, which he had not been at his previous starts, so he may just be coming to the end of it for the time being,' Nikolic said.
'In the straight, when I asked him to go up and join the leader [Choice And Chance] it wasn't the same response as I received last time. I had to give him a couple of hits with the stick in the final 200 metres, which I didn't want to do, but I had to make sure he won.'
After Sacred Kingdom won at Sha Tin on December 26, Yiu said he rated the youngster as the equal of the great Fairy King Prawn at the same stage of their careers.
Fairy King Prawn won a Hong Kong Sprint and was second to New Zealand's champion mare Sunline in the 2000 Hong Kong Mile.
The Danehill gelding also became the first Hong Kong horse to win a Group One on foreign soil when he landed the 2000 Yasuda Kinen under the guidance of Robbie Fradd.

Used to go to an Israeli/Italian place. Now my guy is a Russian dude that's funny as hell. My girlfriends roommate is a hairstylist for some famous salon in Brooklyn and she keeps trying to get me to have her cut my hair.
Just...No. I too enjoy an immigrant cutting my hair. None of this fancy trendy BS.
I got the worst f***ing haircut of my life when I went to my "trusted local old school barbershop."
Been one-guarding it twice a month ever since.
When I was a younger, though, I had this AWESOME Italian or something dude named Antonio cut my hair for years. He ran the joint with his daughters, the salon had mirror walls and chrome everywhere, and he had a coke nail and wore pilot outfits and/or fishnet shirts. It was hilarious.

I got to a salon. The chick washes my hair, shows me her tits, and sometimes jerks me off and even more. (substitutes blowjobs if she's riding the cotton pony) I don't pay anything. No complaints here.

I go to this hot chick at great clips...
she smells good... and does a awesome cut... Does a beard trim for free too...
Tried the local barber shop. Guy charged me $20 for a BS cut. Now I go to this girl I know at Fantastic Sam's. $10 for a wash, cut, and beard trim. She's great!
I just go to Procuts. The manager there is in a wheelchair, but she does a good haircut that is very fast too.
Best haircut I got was in a Pakistan helicopter hanger from a tiny Pakistani dressed like the artist formerly known as Prince with an Elvis-like hairdo.
signatures are annoying, right?
My wife cuts my hair for free. Wahl clippers and no guard. I'd do it myself but she does a nice job on the neck line and around the ears.
Clip my own. Best solution
Haven't had a hair cut in 10 years. I donate the tail every 2 years or so. Miss my hot stylist, though.

Found a pic of the girl that does my hair...
This is the guy that leaves my hair silky smooth.
Been cutting my own hair since I Was about 12 (20 years) can't imagine paying someone to do it, well other then the boobs in the face part.
Stopped going to the Barber in 2001 when I moved out of NYC been cutting it myself since. Now I also do both of my kids as well.
I don't post much, but when I do I make sure its a good one! Stay thirsty my friends
I have longer hair so unless I want to go short or look like a goonturd post-haircut I go to decent places, I miss the place I went to in college though. Hot girls all over the place.
My guy is a middle aged Lebanese man. He has a really thick accent I have a hard time understanding sometimes but I'd rather drive the 30 minutes and have him do it than walk across the street and get some high school drop out cosmetologist to do it.

Stay healthy: Drink beer!
It's entirely possible I've talked about the health effects of beer in the past on this website, but that's only because I speak so much about beer it's kind of difficult to keep track of what topics I've covered. Plus, I have a good excuse for having a bad memory: I drink a lot of beer.
But, contrary to popular belief, the health impact of beer isn't all bad! In fact, there are some positive health benefits which I, of course, outweigh the negatives.
As a huge fan of porters, oatmeal stouts, milk stouts, dry Irish stous, Russian imperial stouts, and basically any other form of dark beer, I am proud and excited to tell you that, according to this article, "dark beers tend to have the most antioxidants, which help reverse cellular damage that occurs naturally in the body. A recent study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture has also found that dark beer has higher iron content compared to lighter beers."
And for you IPA-loving hopheads out there: "Hops contain polyphenols, which help lower cholesterol, fight cancer and kill viruses."
I was going to go to the gym and eat a balanced meal, but screw it; I'm gonna go grab a beer.

Green Transportation
Moving toward a transportation system that fuels healthy people and a healthy planet.
Making Hay With Wood Gas
Wayne Keith, the farmer from Alabama who is revolutionizing green transportation, is still a devoted cattle and hay farmer. He takes his farming very seriously. Hay is his most important crop for the year, and it takes him nearly two months to get it all cut, raked and baled. But he does most of the work using his wood gas truck, a V10 Dodge Ram, hauling immense loads of hay across fields and several miles of country roads. Here are a couple of videos from this season of haying:

heating issue
just bought a 2005 lj about a month ago, iv search but cant find anyone with the same issue. after about 5 miles of driving i seem to lose about half or more of flow threw my vents. the defrost seems a little air moving threw it and if i turn it to the head vents no air moves threw. iv looked under the hood and seem to have no connection issues or cracks. any thoughts before i tear apart the dash?
Start at the other end, the engine. It sounds like you have a vacuum leak.
If it's a 4.0 look at the intake manifold, towards the rear. You'll see a vacuum hose coming off of it to the firewall. Follow it. It splits off about mid cowl. One half goes to run your vacuum controls for the doors in the heater-a/c case. The other half runs over to and underneath the battery tray, to the vacuum reservoir. Common problem.
You start up, lots of vacuum pressure, enough to fill the reservoir and compensate for the leak. Start down the road, vacuum pressure drops. Now it can't cover for the leak. Once the reservoir runs out the leak is more then the engine vacuum can supply, and one or more of the doors in the case close and you get no airflow through the vents.
If you get a bad enough leak, only air flow will come out the defrosters.
thanks, ill go at it tomorrow when i have some time.. does the resivor bleed off air after shutting the engine off? if not then im sure thats where the problem is

Food safety is incredibly important to New Zealanders and to our markets.
It is complicated, with large commercial enterprises and the small honey-seller needing to be accommodated within the same legislation.
As I write, the Food Bill is finally progressing through to the finish line, having had its second reading in Parliament.
Like many others, I am hoping that when you read this, the Bill will have finally (like the snail that it has been) got across the line and become law. It's only taken about 10 years all up!
The new Act replaces the Food Act 1981, and over time also replaces the Food Hygiene Regulations 1974 and the Food (Safety) Regulations 2002.
It also makes consequential amendments to the Animal Products Act 1999 and the Wine Act 2003. However, because many regulations are yet to be developed, parts of the new Act will not come into force until early 2016, which gives food businesses time to adjust to the future.
Federated Farmers' main concern is to make sure that those farmers who feed their staff during shearing and calving and who sell non-high-risk produce at the farm gate, or at stalls in farmers' markets, are not caught up in unnecessary red tape.
From what we've seen, Federated Farmers is confident such farmers will be free to carry on provided they are aware of the risks that providing food for others on a small scale carries, and keep high standards in food hygiene -- as they would use if they were feeding their own family.
Many dairy farmers who sell raw drinking milk (and those who buy it) will be wondering if this means certainty for them. While I can't give them that certainty, I can say that the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is working on it and for the moment there are no changes -- five litres of raw milk can still be sold and bought at the farm gate.
The long lead-in period for the new Act allows enough time for the review of raw milk sales to be concluded and any new rules put into place. It is likely there will need to be standards issued under both the Animal Products Act and new Food Act.
While Federated Farmers could complain about the length of time all this has taken, food safety is incredibly important to New Zealanders and to our markets.
It is complicated, with large commercial enterprises and the small honey-seller needing to be accommodated within the same legislation. Thankfully all in Parliament agreed that what has finally hit the books is as good as we can get.
MPI will be consulting on any regulations proposed and the Federation will be checking to make sure farmers are not caught up with the devil in the detail.

Xinjiang : Silk Road Muslim China
About this blog
Xinjiang Silk Road Muslim China is one of the places I'd always wanted to visit and one of the reasons I came to live and work in Korea as the airfares were too ridiculously high from back home.
This region is home to ethnic Uyghar Muslims whose culture, music, and lifestyle is more similar to Iran and their central asian neighbours than that of China. They even use arabic script, not chinese characters.
My trip begain in Urumqi the capital of Xinjiang Province. From there I went south to Turpan, the hottest part of the region, and home to ancient civilization ruins.
Then I flew to Kashgar, the cultural heartland of Xinjiang, and frontier crossroads between India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Kirgyzstan. Kashgar also doubled as Afghanistan for the filming of 'The Kite Runner'

Get to know BYU-Idaho's favorite app: Tinder
REXBURG, Idaho - The matchmaking mobile app Tinder has become a fixture on BYU-Idaho's campus in Rexburg.
"It's like the LDS Singles of college life," said BYU-I student Karl Stange.
The app finds people closest to you, and allows you to anonymously like or not like somebody. If two people like each other, they have the opportunity to talk. Several BYU-Idaho students said most singles have the app.
"I'd say over 90 or 95 percent have used it at least once," said Stange
Student Suzy Shattuck recently got married, but she said most of her friends have the app.
"Definitely a lot of people use it," said Shattuck.
Tinder has been around for more than a year, so you can imagine the app has its success stories.
"My best friend and her husband met on Tinder," said Shattuck. "Another one of my really good guy friends and his girlfriend, they're about to get engaged, met on Tinder."
Student Brinnlie Jensen met her boyfriend on Tinder about a month ago.
"We started talking a little bit more on Tinder," said Jensen. "Then, he took me out a few days later, and we just hit it off."
When you see people from the app in real life, it can get awkward.
"They know they've seen you on Tinder, and you've seen them, and you just awkwardly stare at each other," said student Samantha Lunderville.
It gets even stranger when you see people you know in real life on the app.
"Well, actually I saw my ex-girlfriend that I almost married on Tinder the other day," said Stange. "So that was kind of weird."

A couple thoughts on this situation...
First, the only difference between a "disk" and a "drum" master cylinder generally is the reservoir size and the addition of a check valve. Disk brake master cylinders usually have large reservoirs on both ends, and do
have check valves in the outlet ports. To verify if a check valve is installed or not, remove the line from the master cylinder and gently insert a small rod into the hole in the brass fitting seat in the master cylinder. If the rod goes in over 1/4" or so, there is no check valve installed. If you hit an obstruction, that is the check valve. That would be the port for a drum brake axle with no other residual valve required. If neither of the ports have a check valve, that master cylinder can be used with drum brakes, you just need to add a 10# residual valve in-line.
Second, without knowing what type of car the "GM" combination valve was designed to be installed in, it is a crap-shoot if it will work perfectly on your car. Telling the difference between a disk/disk or disk/drum combo valve (if my memory is correct) is the installation of a check valve for the drum brake axle port (it wouldn't be in the master cylinder in this case).
Third, since your car is unique in its center of gravity location, tire size combination, etc, the possibility of installing the perfect "factory" style combo valve is slim. I would chuck the combo valve, make sure there is a 10# check valve somewhere in the drum brake circuit, and install an adjustable prop valve in the rear line. (I haven't used a stand alone metering valve in my many projects, but I would look into it for future use)(I have set up many excellent braking systems without one). Set it to full pressure and test the car in an open gravel parking lot at slow speed. After warming up the brakes a bit, jump on the pedal and see if you get any lock-up. Like was stated earlier, adjust your brakes so the fronts lock up JUST before the rears in a high speed full brake application (work up to this while adjusting your prop valve).
Lastly, make certain everything is installed, adjusted and bled properly. Especially the push rod between the master cylinder and the booster. Also check that the brake pedal linkage doesn't go over-center in its normal travel. I have seen some cars that this was the case, and when the pedal moved past the high point of the arc, the harder you press the pedal the brake pressure was actually going down!
Good luck,

1.800.555.8260 We're here to help
As a registered member, you'll be able to:
I wonder if there is anyway to change the
FM radio tuning stepping from 200 Mhz (The US) to 100 or 50 Mhz? Is
that possible with a special combination of keys, or is there anyway I
can do that?
I want the FM to read as 87.5, 87.6, 87.7.
The reason is that the Europeon versions are almost double the price with the exact same specifications?
Please help.......
The model that I am planning to get is either the CDA-9887 or the CDA-9885
I don't show that any of the Alpine radios have European tuning capability. There are several Kenwood units that we carry that can do that, though. You do have to adjust the tuner because they do not come that way out of the box. A unit that is similar to the CDA-9887 is the Kenwood KDC-X891. It has better preamp outputs and a 2-year warranty instead of the 1-year on the Alpine.
In order to get it to receive European stations you will need to do the following steps:
Hope that helps. Let us know how it turns out for you.
Thanks alot Warren for the response; the Europeon version of the CDA-9887 is the CDA-9887R version in which its twice the price!!; I am interested to get the Alpine because it has the Imprint technology that I like to use and I am more into the Alpine brand as my speakers system is from Alpine as well.
I don't like the style of Kenwood neither do I like the brand itself; I need to know if its possible to program the Alpine to work on the European FM/AM standards, and how.....
Thanks again for the fast and impressive recommandation though.
Based on the information we have from Alpine, their units do not support European tuning. They simply cannot be programmed to do so. That's why they have a European version of the unit. If you have to stay with Alpine, then you will have to go with the European models. Sorry I don't have better news for you there.
Anybody else have any ideas out there?

2002 Ford Focus JVC KD-A815 Sony CDX-GT410u Sony XT-100HD HD Tuner Stock speakers, no amp, no subs
You're right, Tiger JVC does have Euro tuning. A lot of the Blaupunkts do too, but that's it for the models that we carry.
HTH, Davaid.
Hi, I am going to be installing a KDC-x991 next week and, well, unlike the x791 there are no preset buttons...at least not as shown in the photo of the x991. So, with that difference, how would I unlock the 991's European tuning function?
And yes, I realize that I've been spoiled all this time with European tuning for years since I got my Alpine 9853 in '05. The rude awakening was when that HU got stolen and I got a 6900UB to replace it. I would tune my radio to 89.25 when the 89.3 signal got weak to buy myself a few more miles of intelligible listening on that station. I don't know why Alpine hacked the feature for the '07 models, it seems pointless.
I found this in our tech notes:Standard and European Tuning Spacing: You may select U.S. standard or European tuning spacing. To switch to/from European tuning spacing:
Note: When the unit is switched to European tuning, the clock is displayed in a 24-hour format.
Yeah I was thinking the remote as well, since that's the only way to directly access presets on the x-891 and x991 based on the instruction manual. If it works that way when mine finally arrives this week I'll be quick to mention it here.
Update: no luck, the remote doesn't work so I'll have to call Kenwood and find out how to do it.
The information we originally had for the KDC-X991 to switch it from US to European tuning was incorrect. (It's hard to press preset buttons that don't exist on a unit.)
Here's what you have to do.
Standard and European Tuning Spacing: You may select U.S. standard or European tuning spacing. To switch to/from European tuning spacing:
I tested this on an actual unit and it definitely is what needs to be done.
I am planning to buy Alpine CDA9886, but need European tuining, would this procedure for european tuining spacing work with Alpine 9886 also ? any idea ? has any one tried it ?
Because my name is on the business, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible shopping experience. I look forward to hearing your comments .

A home for low-risk sufferers of mental illness has not been well received by Greenhithe neighbours, writes Rebecca Blithe reports.
The real estate flyer reads "Family and friends will love to relax here and enjoy the quiet surrounds". But, for an Auckland couple, moving to tranquil Greenhithe has been anything but relaxing.
"This is our dream home," says Mrs Smith*. Since moving in, the pair say they have been living a nightmare.
"The first day we moved in, my husband was approached by a man asking for a cigarette. He told him he doesn't smoke. We then noticed the man spent a good part of the afternoon picking up cigarette butts out by the bus stop. Another man came up to me on the driveway and told me he had life-long mental problems.
"On one occasion there was a man in the grounds of the facility screaming and they took him inside and closed the curtains and doors, but we could still hear him. It became obvious there was something going on next door."
The couple say several neighbours approached them, asking about the mystery household next door.
"So we went round to introduce ourselves and two staff members told us it was a respite centre.
"We asked for the manager's number and invited them over. We met in our house."
At this meeting, the Challenge Trust managers informed the couple that the house is known as "The Bach". It is one of 25 respite care homes in Auckland and caters to young people aged 16 to 25 suffering from low-risk mental illnesses.
"After the meeting we were in shock."
Challenge Trust chief executive Clive Plucknett says the home opened in February and the then-neighbours were advised.
They moved out without passing that information to the new buyers.
Following the meeting, the couple were troubled by the home leaving lights on all night and went next door to ask if they could be turned off.
"In a situation like that you should be able to go and ask neighbours to turn lights off. They served us with a trespass notice."
Mr Plucknett says the notice was issued because the trust was concerned for its clients.
"They were being abusive and badgering staff a lot. Questioning staff all the time. We feared for our clients."
The couple say they visited the home a total of three times and are fearful for themselves. "I think there is an underlying fear with everyone. We feel threatened.
"Consequently, we've placed the house on the market. Perhaps an investor will buy it. We doubt any family would want to live here. If we had been told, we wouldn't have bought this property," says Mrs Smith. "It has had an effect on our health. I've been prescribed temporary sleeping tablets."
Mr Plucknett says the behaviour of the clients as described by the couple is typical of "normal teenage boys" who have the usual testing of the boundaries tendencies. "Being noisy and searching for cigarette butts has very little to do with mental illness. These are people that are not in the category of having to be controlled. They are safe to be in the community. Staff are available and around at all times."
He says there is still a stigma surrounding mental illness. "That some residents have expressed dismay is not surprising, and is an indication of the continuing stigmatisation of mental illness.
"Research and practical experience shows that, in many cases, to remove people from society by institutionalising them is not the most successful course of action and, in fact, can exacerbate the problems of those at the less severe end of the spectrum."
* The couple requested their names not be published.
Getting better
Mental Health Foundation chief executive Judi Clements says attitudes are improving towards integrating people with mental illness into communities.
"We know this more inclusive attitude does exist because research for the Ministry of
Health's Like Minds, Like Mine programme shows 89 per cent of New Zealanders want to be as supportive as possible to people with mental illness.
"Part of this support includes allowing treatment to occur in natural environments where
people can begin their recovery journey without feeling singled out by their communities, of which they are fully entitled to be a part. A 2009 study, "The effectiveness of community care for people with severe mental disorders'', showed those receiving community care had an improvement in psychic state and a reduction in destructive behaviours.
It also mentions that "community care enables social inclusion through improving social functioning and subjective quality of life and sense of freedom ... especially important for our young people''.

OK, I am screwed up....
Working on an 87 Jeep w/ 258.... prev. owner did some non-standard rewiring (incl. bypassing two fusible links in power dist.) and took ignition back to points.
I got an FSM and wiring diagram and took the power distribution back to stock, but can't get the ignition right. Was getting no spark... on advice of an old mechanic I know, put a jumper in form starter side of solenoid the coil. Now it gives me a weak spark.... but also battery voltage at the coil with the switch off! That don't seem right.....
Any thoughts?
Secondary ignition
Doc here:
Try that wire on the "I" terminal of the solenoid instead of the "S" or the big bolt, and see what ya get...
If you bypassed it to the big main bolt, you will have coil power all the time and will burn the coil up not to mention, It won't shut off with the key.
Is this just a starting issue? or will it not run at all (secondary ignition Bypassed to straight 12 volts)?
You might try the resistor (or resistor wire) If so equipped..the coil will show 6 to 9 volts at the - side, key on if it's doing it's job.
If it was bypassed for a long time (and required one) The Coil may be bad.
Well - I have probably burned up the coil as it was bypassed like this for a week or so, we were working on it when it got dark on Sunday and it didn't get undone....
However I was getting no spark on the I terminal, one source suggested replace the starter solenoid which I did, no improvement....
Can't find any sign of a resistor wire, am I missing something? This engine was back-fitted from transistorized to points, would a resistor wire still be required?
Doc here:
see next post...forgot attachment! ooops!
Re: Resistor
Thanks, Doc, this looks like my Saturday.... but one more thing, what should I use for a resistor wire? A ballast resistor and a regular 14 gauge wire? or a heavier wire? What am i missing here?
and thanks again, really....
ballast resistor
Doc here:
Yeah, that should be fine...remember to mount the resistor where it wont melt stuff (like your Elbow as you work on the engine!)..it will get hot!
Chapter 2 in electrical flog...
Over the last two days we went completely through the engine harness, took out all the superfluous wiring to the long-missing computer and other inoperable engine controls. Found a couple things that did not look right and fixed them, but I think the basic start and run circuits were OK.. we double checked them and the charge circuits too.
So, with the key out and the negative battery terminal disconnected, I am getting 7 volts to the coil.....
Only thing I can figgure is whne we rewired the gauges, something that we thought was connected properly is somehow grounding hte circuit when it should not... I guess I check the IP next.....
With everything connected I am getting crank and spark altough it did not catch........ so I am making progress, but we can't have voltage in the ignition on "off" can we?
Hows that again?
The Magic Electron...
Doc here
You are Seeing 7 volts at the Ignition with the Battery disconnected???????? Totally
Osmosis...must be... LOL
Check your meter, make sure you DIDN"T leave it set for Ohms scale when you tested the circuit....Cuz unless you have more than one battery in the car, or ONE BIG discharge cap on the computer..There should Be zero Volts EVERYWHERE!
As far as the Ignition getting power all the time (and I assume not shutting off with the key?) You have (most likely) The secondary ignition wired incorrectly...
Pull both wires from the 12 volts side of the coil..pri/sec and measure both, I think you'll find the secondary wire hot at all times.
Best thing to do is, Run a new wire from the Solenoid "I" Terminal to the coil..unless the solenoid is defective, that should cure the problem.
If it's the other wire that is hot in off..your not on the key switch, but some other source of unswitched power. Locate the wire coming from the switch and hook it there.
That Should Cure the problem.
Got to thinking last night... we did some gauge rewiring in the IP....
we were picking up what we thought was switched power...
and we also ran some new wires for senders and grounds....
Bet we screwed one up......
That's OK , I really didn't want to watch any football this weekend either.....
I'll be back this weekend with an update on the slowest electrical learning curve ever. Thanks Doc.
Found several things wrong.
A jumper we put in from the starter terminal to the coil for test purposes that I thought we took out was still there....
And we had an extra wire running to the S terminal of the solenoid and thus to the coil -- it was same color as one that belonged there, I had my sons checking them but I never realized there were TWO -- it was running from the IP harness and getting power from the gauge circuit, probably from the gauge light circuit.
While I was doing this I removed all extraneous computer related wiring.
I now have crank, spark, and terrible run-on -- I think the timing is off. But I ran out of time there.....
Thanks for the help and education.

Gettin' The Skinny with Laura
This week, GTS sat down with Threadless' Production Crew Captain - Laura. We talk about her passion for cooking, production snafus, Cranium fun and much more. On with the show...
GTS: Alright, welcome back to another installment of Gettin' The Skinny - Intriguing Interviews with Threadless staff. Today's guest is Laura. How are you today Laura?
Laura: A little under the weather, but otherwise doing great!!! And you?
GTS: Everything is everything. I'm stoked that this week is just about over. So Laura, I must confess - you're a total mystery to me. For my sake and for the sake of the folks at home, please describe what you do at Threadless.
Laura: A mystery, eh? Well, I can definitely fill you in. Most of the Threadless community knows me by the exciting emails they receive when their designs are selected ! Or when they are receiving money for reprints! However, as you know, after your interview with Mimi - she is our new Artist Liason! I basically lead up the production crew, and make sure that everything happens on time. We work closely with Ross and the creative team, making sure everything is printed correctly and looking awesome...
GTS: That's sounds pretty sweet! Has there ever been a time where you missed a deadline or had some mishap?
Laura: are you kidding? oh yes. But we always come up with creative solutions.It's one big juggling act, but in the end, it is most important that the t-shirts turn out exactly as they were envisioned! And as you can tell, we have fun experimenting too...
GTS: Can you share a specific SNAFU incident?
Laura: hmmmmmmm. Well, Craig is pretty known for putting the wrong names on the tags! or TYPOS!!! DOH! But I would say a huge snafu would be printing a design that was stolen, when we had NO IDEA that it was... Then luckily the community would catch it (thank you Threadless!) and then we would handle it accordingly. We have no tolerance for such behavior!
GTS: I recall that that incident. That's gotta be a tough task to make sure that all of the chosen subs are 100% legit.
Laura: Yes, near impossible! We try our best. By the way, Craig told me to call him out on the tags and typos.
GTS: Even the best proofreaders have a typo now and then.
Laura: Indeed.
GTS: So what do you do for fun when you're not @ work?
Laura: Let's see! My passion is cooking. I love food and wine! And I love pets... in fact, there are two puppies in my office right now (Red and Nola) and we watch them wrestle all day. I love any and all things design too... and of course MUSIC and MOVIES!
GTS: what's your favorite food and wine pairing?
Laura: oh man, well I'm no expert. Brie and Cabernet? Spinach Salad and Sauvignon Blanc? Really it all tastes good to me...
GTS: give me a medium well strip steak and a bottle of merlot and i'm a happy guy!
Laura: Sounds good to me!!!
GTS: Back to Threadless for a minute - how long have you been working there and how has it evolved since you started?
Laura: I just had my 2 year anniversary! And yes, things have evolved quite a bit...For one thing, the Threadless family has almost doubled in size in that time! We opened the Threadless retail store in Chicago. We started the Threadless Prints line, and the Blik partnership... Lots of fun new ideas around here all the time!
GTS: Since you're in the loop on all the upcoming tees - what can we expect in the coming weeks/months/etc?
Laura: Oh, I wouldn't dare give that away! But I'm really excited about some upcoming designs, we've had some really amazing submissions (and scores) as of late! Am I using too many exclamation points?
GTS: Heck no! I'd just like go on record and state that if the Monster Mash doesn't get printed, my soul would be crushed forever.
Laura: We wouldn't want that to happen now, would we? (the soul crushing part)
GTS: Yeah, that would be pretty rough so anything you could do to prevent that - like printing the Monster Mash collab - would be awesome :)
Laura: You'll have to stay tuned, I'm sure you will!
GTS: You know it. I've got some blogger questions up next!
Laura: Go for it!
GTS: Phiffer asked: What is your favorite Fruit Snack?
Laura: Fruit Roll-ups of course! But as for straight-up fruit, I love me some grapes!
GTS: red or green?
Laura: Grapes: Red. Fave Color: Green
GTS: littlem asked: what's your fave board game and why?
Laura: Typically, I would say scrabble. Classic. But I've played some amazing rounds of Cranium with Threadless co-workers, and that kind of fun definitely takes the cake! The "hum-dinger" category is especially hilarious.
GTS: Next question comes from Tonteau: What's the best response she got after emailing someone to tell them they had won threadless?
Laura: Oh wow, there have been so many fun responses. I don't know if I could single one out off the top of my head, but I love it when the good news has made their day, their year, their lifetime!!! Lots of capital letter usage, smiley faces, exclamation points, and Threadless love! :)
GTS: Jess4002 chimed in with a good question: Which Threadless product shot of yourself has been the most memorable to date?
Laura: Oh I would definitely have to say the series of product shots that Charlie and I are in for the Summer sale of '07, GIRLS ROAD TRIP!
GTS: One last one from Chipmnk: If you didn't work at Threadless, what would your dream job?
Laura: Interior Design! But I will just have fun with that on the side, Threadless is my home...
GTS: Laura - it's time to play Pick One. Do you know how we roll?
Laura: Yes, ready!
GTS: 1: Various vessels: Pirate Ship or Magic Carpet?
Laura: Magic Carpet (but I will wear an eyepatch)
GTS: 2: Geeks-R-Us: Screech or Urkel?
Laura: I would have to say Urkel because Laura was his dream girl...
GTS: 3: Double Agent Gadget: Pen gun or Watch laser?
Laura: Watch laser, definitely. Lasers are much cooler than guns.
GTS: 4: Just Desserts: Hot Fudge Sundae or Cherries Jubilee?
Laura: I'm not much into sweets, but who can resist a Hot Fudge Sundae? Anything chocolate is divine.
GTS: 5: Sing a Sad Song: Nike Drake or Elliot?
Laura: Love both, but I'm a huge Nick Drake fan... have every album!
GTS: 6: Up in Smoke: Cigars or pipes?
Laura: Pipes, and I have no idea why
GTS: 7: Doggone it: Boston Terrier or Boxer?
Laura: Oooh tuffy. Oh, do I have to choose??? My tabby cat, Tess.
GTS: 8: Brew Crew: Bottle, can or glass?
Laura: Draught Beer, all the way!
GTS: 9: Wrestlemania: Mud wrestling or jello wrestling?
Laura: Oh my. Well, let's say jello wrestling... food fights are fun.
GTS: 10: Movie Madness: Suspenseful thriller or all out gore fest?
Laura: suspenseful thriller, it's not scary unless it gets into your psyche!
GTS: Well played. Laura, our time is up but just two last things - first, who would like to interview next and secondly, any parting words for the folks at home?
Laura: Next interview - GARY, THE PRODUCER!
Laura: Last words - Name this movie quote: "If you get tired... pull over! If you get hungry... eat somethin'!"

Here's one weird thing about Napa: You're in the middle of wine country, and sometimes you'll find yourself unable to get a drink. Things shut down early. Your choices range from dive bars packed with drunk local kids to fancy bars connected to fancy restaurants. So here are our picks at both ends of the spectrum, plus a few local faves that don't really fit into either category.
Anna's Cantina
1205 Main Street, St. Helena
A young crowd, cold beers, a "Mexican" theme (sombreros and jalapeño Christmas lights over the pool table), and a surprisingly energetic scene for such a small town mean Anna's Cantina goes off almost every night. Especially on Thursdays, when the karaoke machine is cranked full blast. This is where people head to take care of some serious drinking.
Pancha's of Yountville
Pancha's of Yountville
6764 Washington Street, Yountville
Total freakin' dive. Country music, pool tables, and locals conversing loudly, hootin' an' hollerin' at a skirted journalist from their classic, ancient barstools. When a photographer asked if he could take a picture, the bartender drawled, "I don't give a shit!" The neon Budweiser signs buzz seven days a week from noon until 2 a.m. at the only bar in the valley where smoking's still allowed inside (shhh!). This is the real, old Yountville, for better or for worse, when things weren't so ootsy-cutesy quaint.
Martini House
1245 Spring Street, St. Helena
Martini House is a fabulous restaurant in its own right, one of the several co-owned by Pat Kuleto, whose other restaurants include Jardinière, Boulevard, and Farallon. These are all recognizable by their almost over-the-top décor that usually includes lots of big wrought-iron and blown-glass fixtures, and Martini House is no exception. A jasmine-scented outdoor patio glows from metal lily lights. The bar, romantically located in the restaurant's cellar, serves stellar cocktails. It's an off-hours favorite for high-end servers with fistfuls of tips: Few drinks cost less than 10 bucks, but they're worth it.
Bounty Hunter Rare Wine & Provisions
975 First Street, Napa
Bounty Hunter feels like a speakeasy, with dark, rough brick walls, large wood columns running down the middle of the room, and a metal roof. An eclectic music mix from techno-pop to the Four Seasons plays on the sound system. A huge bar offers more than 40 wines by the glass, and 10 times as many bottles, with a wide range of beers represented. The décor is partly Old West, partly New Napa, and it's hard to tell if it's tacky or cool, which automatically makes it cool. There's food too: snacky things like charcuterie and sandwiches that you can eat on little marble tables. A very fun place to end a long day of wine tasting, though you can't bring your own.
Silverado Brewing Company
3020 St. Helena Highway, St. Helena
This northern Napa Valley spot is modeled after the area's many stone wine caves, and is likely to be playing Bob Marley. After sipping vino all day, a cold pint and a Niman Ranch burger are highly fortifying. Especially on Silverado's outdoor patio, in the warm Napa evening. Try a rotating selection of beers brewed in-house alongside area winemakers, tasting-room employees, and waiters who have come after work; the bar's open until 2 a.m. Food is served until 8:30 p.m. on weekdays, 9:30 p.m. on weekends.

Labour expects the Government to consult with it over a constitutional review to consider such issues as Maori representation, leader Phil Goff says.
The review was part of the National-Maori Party supply and confidence agreement and a paper on it has been considered by Cabinet at least twice.
Mr Goff said constitutional issues should be decided on a non-partisan basis but the Government had made no effort to contact his party over the review.
"The Government, I presume, will make an approach to try to get a cross-party agreement on something as fundamental as constitutional change in New Zealand," he said.
"I think the whole process should be inclusive, and that includes talking to all the parties across Parliament."
Prime Minister John Key said the Government had not yet decided when it would consult other parties.
"That's something we're going to have to consider, not just Labour but other political parties," he said.
"You'll remember that its genesis came from the confidence and supply agreement with the Maori Party so that's been our initial body of consultation ... between National and the Maori Party."
However, the nature of the review meant it was likely other parties would be consulted.

Jason Britton.
Motorcycle Stunt Riding Sensation Jason Britton Added to Big Kahuna Atlanta Entertainment Offered by M1 PowerSports
Britton Continues Nearly Decade-Long Tradition of Entertaining at M1 Events
DENVER, Colo. (February 15, 2012) - Jason Britton, the world's outright leader in motorcycle stunt riding, will be on hand to entertain fans when the Big Kahuna returns to Road Atlanta on the weekend of April 20 - 22, 2012, officials from M1 PowerSports announced today. Following emails from fans and the recent meetings with local motorcycle clubs requesting that Britton and Team No Limit be a part of the weekend's festivities, M1 PowerSports quickly worked out a plan to get the stunt riding superstar, and his many loyal fans, back to the track for the Big Kahuna Atlanta.
"The fans and the bike clubs asked for Jason Britton and we gladly delivered," said Cameron Gray, CEO of M1 PowerSports. "Jason revolutionized the sport of motorcycle stunt riding and has such a positive influence on the motorcycling community as a whole. We're proud to be partnered up with him again and can't wait to give fans everything they've been waiting for when M1 PowerSports, AMA Pro Road Racing and Team No Limit roll back in to Road Atlanta in April."
Britton's exceptional professional stunt riding career aside, the Screen Actors Guild-accredited performer has also had success in Hollywood, appearing as a stunt double in major motion pictures including 'Taking of the Pelham 1-2-3', 'Waist Deep', 'Bikers Boyz' and 'Torque' and stunt riding in commercials for mainstream clients such as Michael Jordan/Nike, Pepsi and Digiorno Pizza. His four-season run as the star of SPEEDTV's 'Super Bikes!' cemented him as a household name as the star traveled the country to cover the sport bike scene. When M1 and AMA Pro return to Braselton, Ga., the birthplace of the Big Kahuna, it will also mark a homecoming of sorts for Britton and Team No Limit, which first began putting on stunt shows for Big Kahuna fans at Road Atlanta in 2004.
"Atlanta has a special place in my heart," said Britton, who will be joined by Team No Limit rider Eric Hoenshell for the stunt shows at the 2012 Big Kahuna Atlanta. "When we first started filming 'Super Bikes!', Atlanta was one of the places that we got such a warm welcome from the bike clubs. I've run into the people from those bike clubs at other motorcycle events, and it's always felt like I have such a great connection with them. M1 has a great program and they've been doing great things for the industry. We're looking forward to putting on a great show and entertaining all of the people that M1 PowerSports brings out to see the event."
Fans attending the Big Kahuna Atlanta will have plenty of opportunities on each day of activity to witness the breathtaking stunt show that only Britton and Team No Limit can put on in a series of shows featured around the facility.

Fri. February 7, 2014 | Mary Kenney
HOLIDAY — During tryouts, coach Jerry Woodka hung a basketball from the ceiling in Tarpon Springs' gym. He'd written across it in black marker: "Districts 2014."
"Every day, we gathered at that ball," Woodka said. "That was our goal."
The Spongers secured their spot in district play this week, and they earned the right to host the quarterfinal when they were crowned district champions.
Tarpon Springs defeated Gulf 66-65 in an overtime game where neither team ever seemed to have a clear advantage.
"That was one of the most amazing games I've ever been a part of," Woodka said. "I have a resilient group of kids."
The last time Tarpon Springs won a district championship was in 1978. The Spongers' last playoff appearance was in 2011.
When the halftime buzzer sounded, Tarpon Springs, the No. 1 seed, and Gulf, seeded third, were tied at 26.
A 3-pointer by the Bucs' Joey Nickerson allowed Gulf to climb ahead in the beginning of the third, but an aggressive Tarpon Springs attack caught up and took the lead. Gulf's Leigh Hollenbeck hit a 3 in the final seconds of the quarter, keeping the score tight at 42-41 with Tarpon barely ahead.
Four minutes remained in regular play when another Gulf 3, this time by Edin Spijodic, tied the score at 49. The teams battled for one-point leads until Gulf's Andre Wilson was granted, and hit, two free throws that tied the score at 57. Tarpon Springs' Trai Halton was almost immediately given two free throws, making both with 22.8 seconds remaining. The Spongers looked to take the win.
Gulf's James Grubb clawed his way under the basket, though, and his layup went in with seven seconds left, sending the game to overtime.
Neither team sprinted ahead in the final four minutes. They battled in an aggressive back and forth for one-point leads again.
