ES-LV61-A is rated out of 5 by 24.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Panasonic ES-LV61-A I have had similar models to this razor like Norelco's & Braun. This razor is the BEST I have ever used. I also love the fact that I can clean it easily with sop & water and do not have to keep paying each month for cleaning fluids. This razor shave s faster and cleaner than any other razor I have used. I have no connections with Panasonic, this is just my own personal view. i did a lot of reviews & research before I purchased this razor. I thought it would do a good job, but it does a GREAT job. Think they wre getting ready to change models, so they had a close-out price of $149.99 which I thought was a very good value compared to other similar razors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best Razor Bar None I'm that guy that has had just about every razor on the market and this razor is the best so far. My beard is so thick, when I go to the local Barber, he has to use about three straight razor blades to finish my shave. This Arc5 razor cuts so close and easily, by the end of the day, I still don't have a 5 O'Clock shadow. I would recommend the Arc5 models and pass on the cleaner. Just clean your razor in the sink after every shave and save your money on the auto cleaner. Thanks!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Amazing shaver It has been many years since I used an electric shaver, this one blows most that I have used out of the water. The next best thing would be a regular shaving blade. It gets close, and doesn't irritate the skin. I use this with electric pre shave, and Donald Trump Success after shave. Go and buy this shaver and you wont be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Very close, quick shave I've used them all over the past 40 years, even older Panasonic's. After using the arc 5 for only a week, it's the closest, fastest most comfortable shave I've experienced. I changed from a rotary and had no irritation or chafing. I am very pleased so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best I've ever used I got an email offer to get this razor at half-price. I had a similar, lower-end model & liked it so I took the plunge & I'm glad I did. This is the only electric razor I've ever owned that pretty well shaves as close as a blade. I guess it has something to do with the 30 degree angle of the blades? Of course, technique is important as well - if I keep a VERY light touch & make several passes over each area I get fantastic results - the key is repetition, not more pressure!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great shaver...for now So far, so good. Definitely a step up in performance from my ES-LA63. That shaver was great, too. I would have kept it if the LCD hadn't failed. As so many have noted, these LCDs tend to fail leaving you without knowing how much charge is left. It usually happens after the warranty expires. My trusty LA-63 was replaced once but after that unit's LCD failed I was out of luck according to Panasonic customer service. I just hope that I can get a few years out of the LV-61.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Close Shave Replaced my 20 year old Norelco. Shaves close and smooth. Feels good in hand. Trimmer works well. Value only fair because of high price and, so far, (in breaking-in period) relatively short battery life between charges.

Push legislation that allows teachers to concealed carry.
Far too often we have mass murders in places where people are not able to defend themselves. The school in Connecticut is a prime example of a "soft" target. I know this will probably get little traction with the petition signing crowd, but it needs to be done. Far too often the police are a documentation agency not a prevention agency. It is up to us to not allow ourselves to become victims of madmen.
The legislation that I want to see will not make it mandatory for every teacher to have a gun but rather give teachers with current concealed carry licenses the ability to carry at work if they see fit. If we can't trust teachers to handle a piece of metal, how could we trust them with the minds of our children?
Please support this, it costs very little to implement, it is more precautionary rather than reactionary, and just the mention of it will give madmen pause the next time they think about attacking a "soft target". Please sign this and give our teachers the ability to fight for our children.

Road names
Tell us some of the road names in your town. The roads that are known for wrecks, or makeout spots or just a road with a story, theres at least three in every town. Around here the most famous road is Snake road. Its a detour road that cuts between twoo highways as a shortcut or a road to ease traffic congestion for the upcoming intersection. This road is very fun when your the only one on it, but its so narrow that the trucks that frequent it make it very dangerous. If you drive that road you have to be a pretty good driver to avoid all the trucks, because you can't win a fight with a fully loaded dump truck or 18 wheeler hauling steel, and they don't use lanes and they definatly don't do the speed limit. Its great to block off between 1am-4am and use a a race course
Well, if you truly want to see how your car handles, you need to head down HWY C...... Seriously though, where I grew up, we had 1 blacktopped road and it went right through the middle of town. Well, if you want to call roughly 100 people a town. They mostly lived down dirt side roads.
hmnmmmm... lets see... we got an Easy street that has had the sign stolen so many times the city replaced it with an old 7th street sign and used those little reflective letters like you put the number on your boat with to spell easy on it. We got Lake Road 6 for the hill hoppers of the town. Oh, and you can't forget Broadway. Spans all of town, but it is a back road, so i like to use it when i am in a hurry and have set a number of black marks onto and off of it....
Here in port royal not 1/4 mile from the port royal police station they have a speed limit sighn that says 21 1/3mph, not 22, not 21, but 21 1/3, that sighn gets stolen at least twice a month. No frikin clue why its 21 1/3mph, but it is. (Bright people I live around eh?)
not far from where i live theres a highway 666, lots of people have wrecked on it
We have loops around the city of San Antonio. Loop 410 is by far the busiest but the most deadly is loop 1604 also known as the death loop. Hardly a week goes by without a death on loop 1604.  The speed limit is 70 MPH but most drivers take that as only a suggestion.
When you say suggestion do you mean tachometer reference point?
We have a saying around here when talking about different politicians and the ocassional businessman, "He is as crooked as Highway 7 south."
Gate 17,another 1am-4am drag spot popular from the 60s thru the early 80s.Its a two lane road that runs along the highway on both sides for about 2-3 miles out in front of the GE jet engines plant. from 17 to the bridge was 1/4 mile.Lot of prides was hurt & money lost& won.Every local and not so local street rodder would hang out at the local White Castle restaurant on just about any giving night.any where from 7-8 cars thru the week and weekends 15-25 cars.WE the real locals was like defending our turf always waiting for what we considered outsiders to come in town and challenge one of us.all you had to say is Gate 17 everybody knew.those was the good ole days
Have you ever noticed that most cities have a Church St. and thats where the hookers hang out???
Anyone else out there have a Truxtun? Oh, and we just got a Buck Owens Blvd! That's where Buck's Crystal Palace theater is.
Also, anyone out there NOT have a Pine, Oak, Elm, Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, or Madison?
[ October 29, 2002: Message edited by: firstname.lastname@example.com ]

Here in Michigan we have an exit on I-75.
BIG BEAVER RD. Its exit #69
My daily commute includes a one and a half to two mile stretch of two-lane road called the Devils Backbone, it climbs up and across the ridge of a steep range of hills with constant switchbacks and elevation increases / decreases of approximately 100 feet with only a couple of guardrails. The drop offs are probably 500 feet on each side and Fire/Rescue response time is at least 20 minutes to the top if someone sees you go over and hours to pull you out. If you disappear without being seen it could be days, months, or until the highway department mows until you would be found. Although I did see the highway patrol looking at some skid marks once, there are usually fresh skid marks through the grass and bushes, over the side and out of sight at least once a week.
I always laugh when we come back from Alabama every year. In Kentucky there is this HUGE road sign for Big Bone Lick, I believe it is a state park.
Anyways, funny stuff to me at least.
We actually have a "Lovers Lane", don't try to make out on it though, it's one of the busiest streets in town. Willys, is that road on the way to Las Vegas, Zzxyx? something like that. Dan
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain
Well, around here, every road has like 3 names. So its Dallas Hwy headed to Marietta, or Marietta Hwy headed to Dallas, or Hwy 120. There's TWO Hwy 92s, you want the one to take you to Acworth or Hwy 41?
You really wanna confuse a yankee point em towards Atlanta and tell em to find Peachtree Street.

Faith and Jim's place is amazing. Jim works as a garderner for a lord (yes, as in the ones that leap when it's Christmas time), and they rent one of his cottages. The views are unbelievable. I'm really running out of superlatives here, so have a look at the pics and you'll see what I mean
Then off to Steve Pope's house in Wales. Another cottage - this one built in 1665. Am struggling to comprehend the history of these places - this cottage was built long before Australia was even discovered by the Western world. Went for a walk up over the hills and looked down on the green fields, sheep and forests. The sheep cracked me up - baa-ing noise they make sounds so fake, like someones just standing behind them making the noise.
Headed off for a massive drive back to London (for some reason, the Brits love to close their motorways down, then not provide directions of how the hell to get where you want to go) and crashed out at Mazza's and Steves, all ready for a trip to Brighton.

Game One Box Score | Final Stats
Game Two Box Score | Final Stats
Live Stats: Sunday (Game Three)
HATTIESBURG, Miss. – The UAB softball team (24-19, 10-6 C-USA) split its doubleheader at Southern Miss on Saturday, with a 3-1 loss in game one and a 2-0 shutout in game two.
The Golden Eagles snapped UAB's 11-game win streak in the series in game one, but fought back in game two to even the series back at 24-24 all time.
Leigh Streetman tossed her fifth shutout of the season and 20th of her career in her 14th complete game of 2014 and 46th of her career, as the Blazers got timely hitting and executed on a Southern Miss defensive mishap to seal the 2-0 win in UAB's eighth shutout of the year. The performance in the circle for Streetman was the second time this season she has allowed just one hit – last time in 3-0 home win over Western Kentucky.
With the split UAB moves to 24-19 overall and 10-6 in league play – the eighth 10-win season for UAB in program history.
Ashley Johnson and Kristen McGrath both finished the day 2-for-5 (.400). Johnson launched the first home run of her career in the seventh inning of game two to finish with an RBI, while Megan McGrath and Mary Warren had UAB's other two RBI on the day. Amy Dennis, Warren and Caitlin Attfield each added two hits. With Johnson's home run, UAB has now hit a home run of 25-of-43 games thus far this season.
Lannah Campbell was tagged with the loss in game one after tossing a complete game. She allowed seven hits, walked one and struck out eight. Streetman moved to 15-10 on the season after picking up the win in the circle in game two.
UAB and Southern Miss will face-off in the rubber match of the series on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Southern Miss 3, UAB 1 (Game One)
UAB scored in the first inning for the 16th time this season to take a 1-0 early advantage over Southern Miss. Danii Fernandez got things started with a single into left as Kristen McGrath followed with a hard single into left to put two Blazers on. Following a strikeout by Mary Warren, Heather Pearson and Megan McGrath both drew walks to plate UAB's first run of the contest.
Southern Miss responded in the third with a run on three hits. The inning's leadoff hitter singled into left and after a strikeout from Campbell for the first out, Michelle Stringer got an infield single to put two on. Campbell worked a big strikeout for the second out, but Morgan McKeever singled into center to plate the Golden Eagles' first run of the contest to tie the game at 1-1.
The Golden Eagles scored two more in their next chance at the plate on two hits and a UAB error. The inning began with a leadoff walk for Southern Miss and continued on the third hitter of the frame when Arielle Pollock reached on an error to push the leadoff hitter to third. Southern Miss then followed with a single into right to plate the second run, but Hayley Davis gunned down the second runner trying to score for the second out. The Golden Eagles took the 3-1 lead on a double to right-center to end the frame in what would be the final score of game one of the doubleheader.
UAB 2, Southern Miss 0 (Game Two)
UAB broke through in the sixth via timely hitting and a defensive mishap from Southern Miss. Attfield singled up the middle and after a tough-luck double play on a lineout by Fernandez, Kristen McGrath singled to right. Southern Miss' right-fielder misplayed the ball as it rolled to the fence to push McGrath to third. Anna Theriot entered to run at third and Mary Warren followed with an RBI single up the middle to plate the first run of the contest and put UAB up, 1-0.
The Blazers added an insurance run in the seventh via the first home run of the day. With two away in the frame, Ashley Johnson launched the first home run of her career, a deep drive to left field to give UAB a 2-0 advantage in what would be the final score of game two.

"Sugar, salt, fat," said Robert, as we tucked into the churros con chocolate at the Basque Kitchen and Bar. "You can't beat them."
Now Robert is a man who knows a bit about good food: I have swooned over his spaghetti alle vongole, made with new-dug cockles, and he introduced me to whisky on porridge, which made me sorry that I don't much like porridge.
And he was touching on a universal truth, the reason that hamburgers and pizzas answer the same basic human need as, say, the chicken liver parfait with nougat cannelloni and pear relish at The French Cafe.
But to be frank, he rather understated the appeal of the churros (those extruded doughnuts that are to be found at street stalls and on fine-dining menus in Spain). They made a splendid finale to a shared meal of tapas at this small, boho-chic place, opposite what used to be the Mandalay Ballroom.
Ah, tapas. I tend to cringe when I hear the word, because it gets thrown around so much by restaurateurs.
El Faro in the Elliott Stables and Ragu and Mondial in the inner west are run by people who seem to have actually spent some time in Spain, although their serving sizes are more what the Spanish would call raciones. No one quite nails it like Bellotta, but the better operators give a smart Kiwi inflection to the genre - and Basque fits into that company very comfortably indeed.
Owner-chef James King is an Aucklander who has paid his dues in Melbourne and London. At the front of house is Carol Pearcy, formerly of No5, who is a personable sommelier even if her style is unorthodox: she introduced herself as "a qualified alcoholic" and, though it was smart to ask what New Zealand wine we like to help her match us up with a Spanish wine, it might have been worth at least offering us a look at a list.
If she had done so I would have noticed the dozen sherries on offer, which would have worked well with some of the food.
As it was we ended up with an 06 Graciano from the Navarra region, which was quite splendid; fruity but peppery. It was an ideal food wine, which was just as well because some ideal food was on the way.
We passed on the classic tipplers' nibbles - almonds and olives - and, with Pearcy's help, assembled a selection of plates that covered most of the bases. Pitted green olives, stuffed with piquant manchego - a hard, sheep-milk cheese - before being deep-fried, made for an excellent start.
Regrettably, the original vegetable's taste was hard to detect in the chip-shaped fingers of fried, crumbed eggplant and, worse, the distinctive rubbery texture had been obliterated.
But in the seafood offerings, King really hit his straps: the grilled whole sardines were enormous and tasty; the calamari avoided the sandy salt-and-pepper treatment in favour of a summery dressing of tomato, mint and broad beans, and when I finally cracked and ordered the slow-roasted pork belly I was delighted to discover it was true to its name, succulent but with almost all the cloying fat melted away.
The menu has more substantial offerings, including the meatballs Spaniards call albondigas and the desserts ... well, Robert told you about the churros. The menu may change - is summer finished, then? - but doubtless the quality will be the same. Check this place out soon.
Ambience: Suave
Vegetarians: A third of the menu
Watch out for: Sardines
Bottom line: Spanish accent
$144 for three
Tapas: $7-$12
Wine (1 bottle): $51.50

"What is good for General Motors is good for the nation." This iconic statement by Charles ("Engine Charlie") Wilson, the then-U.S. Secretary of Defense and former CEO of GM has long been condemned as an exemplar of corporate hubris. But last summer it achieved something even more important: It became true. When GM moved out of bankruptcy in July 2009, the federal government took a 60.8% ownership stake in this classic American automobile manufacturing company.

Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi and Umar Akmal will not feature in Australia's Big Bash League following an intervention by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
The trio were set to take part in the Twenty20 tournament in Australia from next month, but have instead been ordered to prepare for the upcoming tour of India.
Ajmal was due to represent the Adelaide Strikers, while Afridi had agreed to terms with the Sydney Thunder and Umar with the Sydney Sixers.
But the PCB demanded that the players take part in a domestic Twenty20 competition ahead of the series with India which begins next month.
"Since the Big Bash was clashing with our Twenty20 tournament we have asked the players to feature in the national event so that selectors can check their form and fitness for the selection of the squad for India," PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf told AFP.
Afridi, who would have moved from Melbourne Renegades to the Thunder, had already said he would walk away from his commitments in Australia if Pakistani officials deemed necessary.
The Big Bash League commences on December 7, in direct competition with the PCB tournament scheduled for December 2-10.
Pakistan will leave for India on December 22, with two Twenty20 matches and three one-day internationals taking place between December 25 and January 6.

Nearly 75 years ago millions of men and women were fighting in Europe and Asia as forces of totalitarianism confronted a combination of democracies allied with dictatorships who united to defeat Hitler and his Nazism. Today, 1,140 men died who had participated in World War II as members of the armed forces of this nation. I doubt if anyone under the age of 35 is aware they are dying, let alone having any knowledge of what these brave men did for this nation.
Those under 35 are against war, they are against "the government," they are against "high taxes," they are against "forcing"people to participate in national health programs. The top tax rate in WWII was 90% since President Roosevelt tried to avoid having wealthy folk become even wealthier due to the war. Today, we have in Congress men and women whose ideas are the antithesis of the American people during WWII. During that war, we fought as a united people and all recognized our responsibilities to nation and one another.
Today, young people spend their days and nights sharing information on what they wore or ate or send some cute picture. There is no engagement in serious discussions concerning the future of this nation because so many lack a sense of community to the American nation.
I not only honor those who served and died today, but I honor all today who were members of the American community during World War II. We proved that GOVERNMENT could organize a productive society and defeat enemies of democracy. We understood the importance of Government as a stimulating source of change and production.
So, Ron Paul who writes on the Internet–a government invention, who drives on government built roads and bridges, who attended a government financed school, who will be cared for in a government financed hospital– we do not fear "the government"as much as we fear voices of hate and division.

Golf great Jack Nicklaus won 18 majors, tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova each captured 18 Grand Slam singles crowns and swimming superstar Michael Phelps amassed 18 Olympic gold medals.
But no one has ever played 18 consecutive Australian Open tennis championships before.
Not until Lleyton Hewitt steps on to Rod Laver Arena today to face Italian Andreas Seppi in the baseline warrior's seemingly endless pursuit of an elusive home major.
Runner-up to Marat Safin in 2005, Hewitt has returned to Melbourne Park year after year since becoming the youngest qualifier in history way back in 1997.
A month shy of his 33rd birthday, Hewitt ranks among the greatest survivors in Grand Slam history.
Only Americans Andre Agassi, who contested 21 straight US Opens, Jimmy Connors and Stan Smith, with 20 successive tilts in New York, have made more consecutive appearances at a single Grand Slam than Hewitt.
"When I stop playing, it's something I'll be pretty proud of, wherever it stops, whatever number," Hewitt said. "Eighteen in a row, and in singles main draw as well, I wouldn't have dreamt of that at my first one in '97 as a 15-year-old, that's for sure.
"I didn't think I'd be playing anywhere near 30. To still be going just before my 33rd birthday is something I'm happy with.
"There's a period there I had to battle injuries just to get out on the court here as well."
Showing no signs of slowing down, Hewitt has arrived in Melbourne in vintage form, unbeaten in six matches and oozing confidence after beating Roger Federer in Brisbane and Andy Murray at Kooyong.
Seppi, on the other hand, hasn't won a match all summer, losing to Marinko Matosevic in Sydney last week and to Hewitt's countryman Bernard Tomic during a three-match losing run at the Hopman Cup in Perth. But Hewitt is too wily not to respect the 25th seed.
"He's a tough competitor. He plays well from the baseline, doesn't miss a lot of balls out there. There's going to be a lot of long, gruelling rallies."
Victory for Hewitt would advance the former world No 1 to a second-round match on Thursday against either Dutchman Robin Haase or American Donald Young.

What better way to celebrate the release of a new Yo La Tengo album than with a Takeaway Show? Vincent Moon shot the band performing a range of material, including a cover of the Troggs' "With a Girl Like You" (which appeared on the Condo Fucks album) and "Our Way to Fall" from the And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out album.
A version of the instantly familiar "Sugarcube" is also included, and they promote the new Popular Songs album with versions of "Periodically Double or Triple" and "Nothing to Hide." The clips are beautifully shot by Moon, who relies less on the gimmickry of yore, instead focusing on a straight-up band performance in a children's playground.

text: Quite frankly, when Romo has a bad game, nobody and I mean nobody, steps up to make plays. Not being apologetic but I do realize that there is absolutely nothing there to bail us out if he has a bad game. The run game is not there(although) I do think this has to do with how often we give up on it, people not getting their blocks, absolutely no pass rush, and although the corners are good, they will get regularly beaten if there is no pressure on the cornerback. You would think with the lack of pass rush to compensate for broken coverage the safeties would step up and cover of make a play on a ball, but no. If we really have to live and die by the play of our QB, then we don't belong in the playoffs, and it is obviously a team problem that we have. Other teams could have bad QB play but have a defense to bail them out, or at least some sort of pass rush, or even a stellar run game. There are 52 players on the field game day and we should not have to live and die by 1 player.

I have been working insane hours lately. Between preparing for the launch of Tellago Studios' new enterprise mobility cloud platform and implementing certain transformative processes at Tellago I haven't had too much sleep lately. These days, my advisors and friends kindly remind me that the process building a company is more like a marathon than a sprint and that working at a continuous pace is one of the key elements of successful CEO. While I certainly appreciate the advice and, over the years, I have gotten pretty effective at trying to avoid continuously working until exhaustion, I don't think the analogy really applies to a startup lifestyle.
In my opinion, a startup is nether a sprint nor a marathon but a combination of both: how about a sprinthon? 😉
Working crazy hours is part of the core DNA of software startups. Whether launching a product, dealing with a crisis or trying to meet certain deadlines, 18-20 hr days will inevitably become part of the normal startup lifestyle. Finding the right pace and staying focused to avoid burning yourself and your team out is one of the things that, as a founder CEO, you quickly need to figure out in order to guarantee you can execute for the long term.
Having said that, thinking that you can build a successful company working regular hours is pretty naïve. Successful CEOs not only excel at finding the right working pace for their team but they also know when to immediately switch to sprint mode and lead the team during those times. In my opinion, a better analogy for the startup lifestyle is a combination of a long marathon with continuous shorter sprints. Knowing when to sprint, when to pause and when to execute at a regular pace is one of the main responsibilities of startup founder or CEOs.
As a startup leader, you should embrace, rather than reject, the fact that "crazy hours" sprints will be part of your company lifestyle. Those sprints are not always bad and they often help to improve team chemistry and certainly test the foundations of your company. While running your sprinthon, you will be fine as long as run more of a marathon than a sprint and, at the same token, you remain ready to sprint when the time, market or arbitrary circumstances dictate so.
At the end, always remember than nobody has built anything remarkable working 8hr days.
What do you think? Sprint, marathon or both? 😉

If you're in outback Hawke's Bay and feel like Tiger Woods on the fairway then it's a reasonable emotion and you're not alone.
And, no, it has nothing to do with what you've had or not had for breakfast or simply because you went to bed early the night before.
It's more to do with the water or, to be more precise, the lack of it on the parched golf courses of the Central and Southern Hawke's Bay regions.
Several golf courses in the two regions have embraced the mercy rule of a "close season" because of the effects of the drought which has officially had a grip on Hawke's Bay for a shade over a fortnight.
Jargonistically speaking, it means amateur golfers won't be submitting scorecards after 18 holes to gauge their handicaps.
"I had a drive through the other day and I couldn't believe how dry the courses were," Golf Hawke's Bay and Poverty Bay Women executive officer Neil Munro said last night.
Munro has sent an email to all affiliate clubs to apply for a closed-season grading if their match committees believe their courses are playing either too easy or too difficult.
"It's unfair on the members when they hit the ball and it rolls on forever," Munro said, offering an example where a female 30 handicapper was expected to play around the 20 mark.
"It's totally unfair because when it's winter she'll never be able to do that," he said, revealing there were dust bowls below dead grass.
Add to that the risk of injury, when hackers can jar their wrists and other joints on a rock-hard surface.
The closed-season kicked in this month and is likely to remain until April 22, unless the regions receive some respite from rain.
The clubs affected include Norsewood, Waipukurau, Takapau, Porangahau and Waipawa.
No city clubs are affected with Hawke's Bay Regional Council allocating them some water while some also may have their own bores.
"They have been told to use water sparingly and not in the day when they evaporate quickly. Bores have limitations too," Munro said.

News & Reviews
"Heroic in scope and of undeniable historic importance. "—Los Angeles Times
"This fascinating book delivers more than it promises. It takes the reader from the origins of Buddhism right up to the immediate past, through Buddhism's growth and spread in Asia to the personalities that opened it up to the West and those that brought it to America as well as those who were affected by Buddhism or nurtured it here. Fields possesses a clear style and infectious enthusiasm for his subject. "—Library Journal
"The definitive treatment of the impact of Buddhism on American thought. "—Roderick Frazier Nash, Professor of History and Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
"I found this engaging book literally crammed with the sort of lively and accurate information which I had for years been longing to find assembled. The leading characters emerge with a quality of independence and individuation that certainly dispels any stereotype of the Buddhist practitioner, teacher, or layman. "—Washington Post

ID Card Accessories
Back to school preparations are underway, and before you know it teachers, students, and staff will be headed off to school in the morning. Get your school ready by outfitting everyone with the proper ID badge accessories. Not at a school? Our lanyard recommendations can still help you determine which style is right for your organization!
The different schedules and responsibilities of school personnel requires different kinds of ID badge accessories to ensure ID badges are properly used and displayed. Lanyards are the most popular ID badge accessory for schools because they keep ID cards visible at all times, making visual recognition of students, staff, and visitors simple.
Here are our identification experts' recommendations for school year lanyards:
Stock Lanyards for Students. Student identification is crucial to school security, but making sure students display their ID card can be a challenge. Stock lanyards are an affordable option you can choose to give each student a way to display their ID card. Be sure you add the breakaway function, however, to protect students from possible choking hazards.
Theme Lanyards for Visitors. Schools are a hub of activity, and visitors are constantly in and out of the building. Protect your students and staff by requiring all visitors to wear a themed lanyard when they are in the building. The themed lanyards help adults in the building easily identify approved visitors.
USB Lanyards for Teachers. Welcome teachers back to school with a USB lanyard they can use to both display their ID card and carry important data. The USB lanyard has 1 GB storage and detaches from the lanyard for easy use. To make a special gift for the school year, customize your USB lanyard with your school name and the year.

In the past decade, time and attendance technology has advanced rapidly. As we know all too well, if you can't keep up with the latest technology you may soon find yourself with an obsolete system that increases your costs and lowers workforce productivity. The following ten signs will help you spot areas where your time and attendance system may be failing your organization.
Different buildings should not equal different time and attendance systems. A retail company with seven different locations was utilizing outdated time and attendance software, requiring separate software installation at each location. Without a central database for all of their employees, information management was unable to get accurate company-wide time tracking reports and managing leave requests was an error-prone manual process. The resulting management nightmare hindered decision making, and lowered overall workforce productivity.
If you have multiple locations, or may add new locations in the future, there are time and attendance solutions capable of providing complete and immediate visibility to your workforce. Using one system that works at each of your locations is less cumbersome, generally less expensive and ultimately leads to an improved analysis of your workforce.
Basic time and attendance software that only manages hours worked will not have the functionality necessary to automate leave requests or track benefit accruals. Providing employees with access to their own benefit accruals information eliminates the calls and questions to HR about earned vacation time. The additional time consuming process of sending, approving, and storing leave request forms is also automated by advanced time and attendance systems. In fact, some software is capable of email notification to all appropriate personnel of the leave request, such as the supervisor or HR manager.
If your time and attendance system looks like this, it's time for an upgrade!
Ideally, the implementation team of your time and attendance provider will set up your complex pay rules for you in addition to having customizable settings so you can make changes on your own in the future. Once the pay rules are set up in the system, you will have reduced the time it takes to run payroll with the added benefit of increased accuracy and fairness throughout the company.
If your employees are failing to record their time with your current time tracking system, you may want to think twice before admonishing them. American TV, a retail store with multiple locations in the Midwest, felt that their time and attendance system may be to blame instead. They were right. With only one or two time clocks at each location, employees were never close enough to a clock to make recording their time simple and efficient. As a result, large amounts of missing punches on their time cards led to an increased workload for HR and eliminated the benefits of accuracy with their time system.
American TV searched for a superior time and attendance system capable of resolving the issue of missing punches and improving accuracy and efficiency. By selecting a system that utilized an XML API, a technology that aids with integration, American TV was able to set up each of their point-of-sale terminals as a time clock that automatically records the time of the employee working at that station. As a result, employees could quickly record their time and attendance tracking accuracy was greatly improved.
FLSA class action lawsuits outnumber all other employment lawsuits combined. Employers can face stiff penalties for non-compliance such as liquidated damages, millions of dollars in back pay, attorneys fees and government fines. Some of the most common and costly mistakes include unpaid work, failure to abide by both state and federal regulations, employees classified incorrectly and keeping poor records. In most courts, if the employer has kept poor records and there is a dispute regarding hours worked by the employee, the employee wins. An automated time and attendance system should provide detailed reports and store historical data for all employees for at least three years. Additionally, the time tracking system shows no bias toward employees, which means all of your pay rules are applied fairly across your entire workforce. Some time accounting programs are also capable of aiding with FMLA tracking, which can be difficult and may lead to lawsuits if not handled properly.

Quiksilver, Inc. is a sportswear apparel company that designs, produces and distributes clothing, surf, skate and snow equipment for young-minded people. Started by Alan Green and John Law in 1970, Quiksilver quickly became a phenomenon and is now sold all over the world. Currently employing approximately 3,500 people, the business continues to be run on its original principals of word-of-mouth, quality and unbelievable service.
Todd Dickson, Quiksilver's director of building security, came to IDville in search of an up-to-date photo ID system that was "user-friendly and that did not break down every other day!!" (We could guarantee that!) He needed a photo ID system that would allow him to create different types of badges on one system.
Create your own employee photo ID cards.
With thousands of employees at different levels within the company, I knew Dickson needed an affordable way to create unique IDs. He was going to be printing a lot of photo ID cards with Quiksilver being such a large company.
When Dickson contacted IDville he had some questions regarding the photo ID system choices. "The IDville representatives were very well-versed with the product which showed me a lot. Although cost was a big factor in our decision, as the prices are very reasonable, the professionalism was leaps and bounds ahead of the other companies we'd contacted."
I ultimately helped Dickson decide on the Single-Sided ID Maker Advantage because he was planning to print a large number of cards, on one side only and security-enhancing overlays were not important. Dickson purchased two of these photo ID systems to be used at two different locations.
Quiksilver's photo ID badges are tamper-resistant. Their card design includes the employee photo along with the company logo; for added security a watermark of the employee's photo is also in the corner. "IDville continues to meet and exceed my expectations! It has become a great resource for my photo ID badging process."

RIO VERDE, Ariz. - Northern Arizona University's women's golf team completed play at the Rio Verde Invitational this weekend. NAU finished tied for fifth place with Western Michigan after shooting rounds of 304, 314 and 303.
The Lumberjacks' round of 303 on the final day of competition was their best performance as a team this weekend. Led by the hot shooting of Jacquie LeMarr NAU was able to improve from seventh to fifth place to end the tournament. LeMarr's play has been impeccable as of late. The sophomore finished in a two-way tie for third place individually after putting together rounds of 73,75 and 74 in succession.
"Jacquie has been playing great," said head coach Brad Bedortha. "She was in control of her game and emotions all weekend and it has been fun to watch her compete."
Kaitlen Parsons also had a strong tournament finishing ninth individually. The senior shot rounds of 72,77 and 76 to help the Lumberjacks compete against some stiff competition. Susana Mejia's (81-80-75) play improved dramatically on the final day shooting a 75 to close out the tournament.
"Susana stepped up big for us and played well today," Bedortha said. "She was smiling and enjoying herself and that attitude showed in her game."
Also improving for NAU was Brittany McKee (83-82-78) whose final round of 78 was her best all weekend. Savana Bezdicek shot rounds of 78 and 84 but withdrew due to medical reasons on the final day of play.
"Coming in I thought if we played well we could finish in the top-five," said Bedortha. "We are definitely leaving with a better feeling about our game. We've basically played three tournaments in two weeks so the team is a little worn out but I am definitely happy with what we have going right now."

Thanks for all of the replies. The engine had to come out anyway to replace a bad ring gear and clutch.
I removed the cam and I believe it to be a stock type. It isn't a ford, but the difference between the base circle subtracted from the lobe multiplied by 1.73 comes to .432 to .437 lift. The tail of the cam has no manufacturer but has the number 940355 in one spot and 580 in another. It also has a casting of 1208 on the side.
Just curious at this point if I am correct that he probably has a stock cam.
I hear everybody on the complete tune up and will get there when it goes back in. I haven't worked on this engine before and you have to understand that my dad and I do not see eye to eye on tune up and maintenance, so that may very well be all it needs.
I just need to know, if at all possible, what he for sure has so I can put his mind at ease. Then I'll get it lined out. I have tried all over Google with no luck. I'm hoping someone will recognize the part number and can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Fabricating intake manifold.
I'm trying to get a ram intake for my 350 olds v8 and the only ones I can find are in the $1000-$3000 range. Does anyone here have any expirience in fabricating a tubing intake manifold? I can't imagine it being incredibly hard. Thanks...
I am building one for my slant six. I am useing exhaust pipe bent up for me at the muffler shop. A liitle welding and bingo!!! done!
The hardest part is machining the flanges that have to match up with the intake ports. Once those are done you can get some tubing and start cutting and welding. Hint: bolt the flanges to the heads and work from there, that makes it harder to goof up the angles.
I purchase all my intakes at the exhaust shop. Those guys can bend some pipes!
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
Gemini, a while back willys36 taught me how to make a custom intake and if you e-mail me I have the discussion and directions saved. I'd be happy to send them to you. It very helpful. I got about halfway done so far, keep getting distracted from other prts of the prodject not cooperating. Its life, but one day I'll finish it.
Hey thanks guys... At first it sounded like a good idea, then hopeless, and now I'm all excited all over again!!! LOL
"Ol' Yeller", a 500 Caddy that came out of a '76 hearse. This motor really is being brought back from the dead. It suffered 2 rod bearings failing, welding the front 2 rods to the crank journal. This is the shortblock going back together, after crank machining, resizing 2 rods, and line boring/block cleanup.
The tubing thingie on the towel is the start of my dual Quad tunnel ram intake for a Caddy 472-500 motor. I made the flanges, bent the pipes, will be fabricating the plenum next. Even had to make up a small tool from square tubing to re-size the 2" round to a tall,skinny rectangle to match the intake port size. I will build the plenum into a divided setup, the front carb will feed the front 4 cylinders, the rear the other 4. I plan to use Buick 252 CI Q-jets, they will be jetted right for one of each to feed half the 500. Straight throttle linkage to keep it simple.
Not too hard if you have the time. I have about 10 hours fabricating time in the intake flanges, another 2 hours in the end rail pieces, and even with the use of the shop's exhaust bender, another 2 hours in bending/forming the runners. I anticipate another 5-6 hours in fabricating the plenum for the top.
DrChop, How exactly did you square the round tubing?
Another question.... I'm not very expirienced in aluminum welding. Is steel ok to use for a first try?
Steel works great.
I used a little chunk of square tubing, and sliced v's into the straight sides from one open end almost to the other end. I then hammered them shut and this made a chunk of 2 tubing into a wedge shape. I then cut the tubing on the opposite sides (that were not cut previously) with a couple larger V notches so when welded back together, the tubing took on a distinct box or rectangle section from the big end. Mig together the cuts and grind fairly smooth, does'nt have to be perfect. It works by allowing the curved corners of the tapered chunk to re-shape the tubing from round cross section to a rectangle. I was able to form the required shape merely by hammering the tapered tool into the end, but the hydraulic ram attachment on the shop's exhaust pipe bender did a much nicer job.
Here's a pic of the manifold, the tool, and the scrap practice piece of 2" tubing...
And here's another of the tool and the tubing. Note the tool is shaped to slip inside the 2" tubing, and that the corners of the tool do all the actual shaping, so the roughly-ground welds do not matter...
I also used box tubing to make up a set of log-style exhaust manifolds, when I could not find any to fit the tight confines of the '54's engine bay. Top exhaust outlet is 2.25" tubing...
All of the intake and exhaust manifolds are steel, at least 16 Ga. The flanges are fabbed from 1/8" x 3" strip stock from the local home-improvement place. Look for 'structural' or 'weldable' steel in the bins...

Well what I like about it is that it cuts down on exhaust reversion flow so much...
hey drchop, cool intake, but that is about the worst flowing exhaust ive ever seen, no scavenging going on there at all,.. anyway Cool intake dude..
The whole idea behind the tubing exhaust manifolds was not for ultimate power, but to be able to fit SOMETHING in there between the exhaust ports and the upper control arms/steering box that would carry exhaust back to the mufflers. The whole system is nice and quiet, no leaks. With a 500 Caddy in a '54 Ford, I have more than enough low-end grunt to get it down the road with decent acceleration, and I have taken the car over 100MPH, so they must flow at least as well as the stock manifolds did...
When I have more free time/money I CAN fabricate up a set of tight-tube headers. This was just the easiest way to get quiet exhaust on the car so I can drive it.
And you'd be surprised how many people doing Caddy swaps have told me I came up with an idea that would allow THEM to do the swap they had in mind. Sometimes factory stuff does'nt work, and headers are too hard to build and are unnecessary. What I did could be adapted to work with other engines, and shows any swap is possible if some creativity and some sacrifices can be made.
FWIW, on my Caddy 500-powered '28 4x4, I plan to make up ANOTHER set of these log manifolds, and use them in place of a Chevy flange with a set of Speedway's "Limefire" BBC headers. The box tubing section will have the ports going thru both sides of the tubing, and when the end of the header is corked off, the exhaust will go thru an outlet on the end of the tubing that follows the toeboards down and under the body to a set of quiet mufflers.
here is an article on calculating the runner length.
hope it helps:
Induction Waves
Lets first look at what happens in the manifold to better understand how to use it to our advantage. When an engine is running, there are high and low pressure waves moving in the manifold caused by the inertia of the air and the opening and closing of the valves. The idea of port tuning is to have a high pressure wave approach the intake valve before it closes and/or just as it opens, forcing in a little more intake charge.
Presure Wave Causes
The most commonly known cause of a pressure wave is the piston as it moves down the bore. On the intake stroke, the piston makes a negative pressure wave that travels form the piston to the intake tract. Once that negative pressure wave reaches the plenum area, it is reflected as a positive pressure wave. That positive pressure wave travels back toward the cylinder. If it reaches the intake valve just before it closes, it will force a little more air in the cylinder. The second, less realized, cause of pressure wave is the exhaust. If you have a good exhaust system that scavenges well, during the overlap period there will be an negative pressure wave as the exhaust is scavenging and pulling in fresh intake charge. The same thing happens, it travels up the intake and is reflected at the plenum area as a positive pressure wave. If the length is correct for the rpm range, the positive pressure will be at the valve just prior to it's closing and help better fill the cylinder. This will also help by reducing reversion with long duration cams. To get the benefits form this you need a well tuned exhaust system (another tech article). The third and most complex cause of pressure waves is when the intake valve closes, any velocity left in the intake port column of air will make high pressure at the back of the valve. This high pressure wave travels toward the open end of the intake tract and is reflected and inverted as a low pressure wave. When this low pressure wave reaches the intake valve, it is closed and the negative wave is reflected (it is not inverted due to the valve being closed), once again it reaches the open end of the intake tract and is inverted and reflected back toward the intake valve. This time the valve should just be opening (if the port is tuned to the rpm range) and the high pressure wave can help.
Pressure Wave Speed (V)
The pressure waves travel at the speed of sound. In hot intake air it will be about 1250 - 1300 ft. per second. Engine rpm does not effect the speed of the pressure waves and this is why induction wave tuning only works in a narrow rpm range.
Combined Effects
On a well tuned intake set up there will be a high pressure wave at the intake valve as it's opening, at the same time the engine is in it's overlap period (both valves open). If the exhaust is tuned to the same rpm range as the intake, there will be low pressure in the exhaust (due to scavenging) at the same time. Since the intake port near the valve is higher than atmospheric pressure and the cylinder is a great deal lower, the air will start to fill the cylinder quickly. The higher pressure area will quickly drop in pressure as the piston travels down the bore, this creates the low pressure wave that travels away from the cylinder. Just as this starts to happen, the piston starts moving down the bore creating another negative pressure wave, so there is actually two negative pressure waves, one right after another. In a well tuned intake system there can be as high as 10 psi of air pressure at the intake valve due to these pressure waves. So you can see that it can have a very large influence on the volumetric efficiency of the engine.
Reflective Value (RV)
Getting an optimum runner length may be hard to do due to engine compartment space and/or the engine configuration. A small cammed engine operating at lower rpm will need a long runner length, so instead of trying to fit such long runners under the hood, you can just tune the system to make used of the second or third set of pressure waves and make the system much shorter.
Intake Runner Length (L)
Knowing that the pressure waves (positive or negative) must travel 4 times back and forth from the time that the intake valves closes to the time when it opens and the speed of the pressure waves, we can now figure out the optimum intake runner length for a given rpm and tube diameter. We must take into account the intake duration, but you want the pressure waves to arrive before the valve closes and after it opens (air wont pass though a closed valve). To do this you must subtract some duration, typically you take off 20-30° from the advertised duration. 30° works well for most higher rpm solid cammed drag motors. So the Formula to figure effective cam duration (ECD) will be:
ECD = 720 - (Adv. duration - 30)
For a race cam with 305° of intake duration it will look like this:
The ECD of that cam would be 445
The formula for optimum intake runner length (L) is:
L = ((ECD × 0.25 × V × 2) ÷ (rpm × RV)) - ½D
ECD = Effective Cam Duration
RV = Reflective Value
D = Runner Diameter
If our engine with the 305 race cam needed to be tuned to 7000 rpm using the second set of pressure waves (RV = 2) and had a 1.5" diameter intake runner the optimum runner length formula would look like this:
So 19.91 inches would be the optimum runner length.
Intake Port Area
Unlike intake runner length which effects power over a narrow rpm range, the size (area) of the runner will effect power over the entire rpm range. If the port is too small it will restrict top-end flow and flow, and if it's too large velocity will be reduced and it will hurt low-end power. The larger the port is, the less strength the pressure waves will have. Since the intake valve is the most restrictive part of the intake system, the intake runners should be sized according to how well air can flow through the valve area. Most decent heads will have an equivalent flow through the valve area as a unrestricted port of about 80% of the valve area, this is if the camshaft it matched to the heads. In other words a 2.02" valve, which has a 3.2 square inch valve area, in a decent flowing head will flow the same air as a open port with about 2.56 square inches of area (80% of 3.2). So the port area should be about 2.56 square inches just prior to the valve (this is in the head port). Some well ported race heads may have an actual flow of an area up to 85%, but for the most part it is around 78-80%.
Intake Port Taper
To further help fill the cylinder, it helps to have a high velocity at the back of the valve. To do this the intake port can be tapered. To be effective, there should be between 1.7 and 2.5% increase in intake runner area per inch of runner, which represents a 1-1.5 degree taper. For an example, lets say you're looking for a 2% increase per inch taper on the 2.02" valve we discussed earlier. We already came up with a port area of 2.56 square inches at just before the valve. Now lets say the total runner is 10 inches from the valve to the plenum and we're looking for a 2% per inch taper. This turns out to be a total of 3.12 square inches where the port meets the plenum. As you get near the 2.5% per inch taper point, you are pretty much at the limit of helping air flow. A larger taper will only hurt signal strength at the carb.

Hermiston Police News - suspects arrested
On the 23rd of September 2011, at approximately 11:13 PM, Hermiston officers were dispatched to a suspicious call at the Dun Rollin Trailer Park located at 445 E Jennie Ave. Information received was of a possible disturbance involving several males in a black pickup.
Responding officers conducted a traffic stop on a 2007 Lincoln pickup with Oregon plates 021EXF in the area. A passenger in the bed of the pickup fled on foot as the traffic stop was initiated.
Officers took Tony L. Colbray 24 years of age, of 1388 SW Sage Drive, Hermiston, into custody at the scene. Colbray was wanted on a Parole Violation warrant for his arrest out of Umatilla County. Colbray was also charged with Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and Theft in the First Degree by Receiving, for being in custody of a stolen handgun from Richland, Washington.
Colbray was processed at the Hermiston Police Department before being lodged at the Umatilla County Jail in Pendleton.
Also in the vehicle was Robert M. Valencia 19 years of age a transient of Hermiston. Valencia was taken into custody for his involvement with a dispute that took place earlier in the night (approximately 9:40 PM) at 217 E Beebe Avenue.
Valencia who has been charged with Attempted Assault in the Second Degree, Assault in the Fourth Degree, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree, and Menacing, was processed at the Hermiston Police Department before being lodged at the Umatilla County Jail in Pendleton.
"Unfortunately this is yet another example of people who should not be on the street continuing to engage in illegal activity. Though this was the first arrest of Mr. Colbray by our agency, we have had extensive contact with Mr. Valencia," says Acting Chief of Police Jason Edmiston

Radio Shuts Off With The Headlights
i made a thread a few days ago about my gauges cutting out when going over bumps, and my airbag light coming on. now i noticed something else that i think may be wrong. since i got my jeep, i noticed that when i turn the engine off, the radio shuts off, even in the accessory position. today my headlights were on when i turned the key off and into the accessory position, and the radio stayed on. when i turned the headlights off, the radio shut off. when i turned the headlights back on, the radio come back on. this isn't normal is it? i haven't had a chance to open my dash and inspect the wiring. my gauges seem to have cut out for good. they haven't worked in the last couple days and the airbag light has stayed on.
You have a serious short. Or you took on major water or the po did.
What is the fix?
Youd have to find the short. Is there any "creative" aftermarket electrical work? If there is id start there.
there is a aftermarket subwoofer in the trunk. thats all i can think of.
I forgot to mention that everything works fine when the key is on. The radio will work with or without the headlights. It's only on the accessory position that the radio will only work with the headlights on.
The PO probably did a really bad wiring job on it. Go to the12volt.com and find the wiring schematic and color code for your vehicle and check the wiring. Also, make sure you ground to something metal with a ring terminal and not to any other wires.
i still haven't had a chance to check the wiring due to all the rain we've had. but i noticed today that when the headlights are on, not only does the radio stay on in the accessory position, but it stays on even in the off position. again, when i turn the headlights off, the radio will shut off.
and i dont know if its related, but when i start the jeep, the odometer is fairly bright. but after just a second, it dims and stays that way. like when you turn the headlights on. i can't even see it if its bright outside. the dimmer knob doesn't seem to change anything on the odometer or the gauges.

Yemen's Saleh says wants to put power in safe hands
By Cynthia Johnston and Mohamed Sudam
SANAA (Reuters) - President Ali Abdullah Saleh said on Friday he was ready to cede power to stop more bloodshed in Yemen, but only to what he called "safe hands" as tens of thousands rallied against him in "Day of Departure" protests.
Talks were underway on two tracks to work out the details of a deal on a peaceful transition of power in the Arabian Peninsula state that is home to a resurgent arm of al Qaeda, Yemeni political sources said.
Western countries are concerned al Qaeda militants could exploit any disorder arising from a messy transition if Saleh, a pivotal U.S. and Saudi ally fighting for his political life, finally steps down after 32 years in office.
"We don't want power, but we need to hand power over to safe hands, not to sick, resentful or corrupt hands," Saleh said in a rousing speech to tens of thousands of supporters in Sanaa.
The protesters waved pictures of Saleh and banners saying, "No to chaos, yes to security and stability". Some carried guns and traditional Yemeni daggers, others waved flags and played patriotic songs.
"We are against firing a single bullet, and when we give concessions this is to ensure there is no bloodshed. We will remain steadfast and challenge them with all power we have."
But across the capital, tens of thousands of anti-government protesters held their own "Day of Departure" rally to demand the departure of the president, a serial survivor of civil war, separatist movements and militant attacks. The protesters handed out red cards telling the president to "Get out".
Shooting broke out when soldiers loyal to a top Yemeni general who has been protecting the protesters fired in the air to prevent a crowd of Saleh loyalists approaching the area, witnesses said. Continued...
