With uDTS, you'll need some way of assigning UDT values to predefined <data
type> targets, or vice versa. Further, if you have two distinct UDTs
— say UDT1 and UDT2 — then
you'll also need some way to assign values based on UDT1 to UDT2 targets, or
vice versa. This might all be complicated by the fact that subtypes contain
their supertypes' Attributes, which should imply a degree of mutual
assignability. In sum, you need the ability to "cast" a UDT to or from another
data type. The solution is to create a user-defined cast for the chosen <data
type>s, with the
CREATE CAST statement. The required syntax for the
CREATE CAST statement is as follows.
CREATE CAST (<source type> AS <target type>) WITH <specific routine designator> [ AS ASSIGNMENT ]
A UDT value is assignable to a UDT target only if the source value is a subtype
of the target UDT. There can be only one user-defined cast for any given
combination of source and target types. Either <source type> or <target type>
must be either UDT or
REF, but the other operand can be any <data type>.
To execute
CREATE CAST, you must be the owner of both the cast function
identified by <specific routine designator>) and the <target type> (if it is a
The <specific routine designator> is usually a signature
— for example, "
FUNCTION f (SMALLINT)" can be a
<specific routine designator>. It is also possible to identify a routine using
a specific name, which is a unique, possibly mangled, name that is usually
assigned by the DBMS. The cast function identified by the <specific routine
designator> must have the general form:
FUNCTION <name> (<source type>) RETURNS <target type> ... DETERMINISTIC ... { NO SQL | CONTAINS SQL } ...
AS ASSIGNMENT (which is not the default) means that the cast is "implicitly
invocable" during assignment operations. That is, if x is UDT_1, and there is
an implicitly-invocable cast, then this is a legal assignment:
x = 'F'
Otherwise, this is a legal assignment:
x = CAST ('F' AS UDT_1)
[Obscure Rule] An assignment might involve a choice between several possible "implicitly invocable" cast functions. The DBMS picks the one that fits these criteria:
- It's an implicitly-invocable cast function — i.e.:
it was mentioned with
- The cast function's result <data type> is the target's declared type.
- The cast function has one parameter, and that parameter has a "declared type", and that declared type is in the "type precedence list" of the declared type of the source value. If there are two cast functions which meet all these requirements, the DBMS picks the one whose declared type is highest in the "type precedence list".
TIP: If you decide to make a user-defined cast for "a to b", be reciprocal: make a user-defined cast for "b to a" as well. Users expect all casts to be two-way.
TIP: For hierarchy's sake: if
A1 is a supertype of
A2, and
B1 is a
supertype of
B2, then make casts from
A1 to
B1 and from
A2 to
B2 — not
A1 to
B2 nor
A2 to
That is, cast from super to super and from sub to sub.
Here is a user-defined cast for the
BOOK_UDT type which we used in earlier
examples. The UDT has three Attributes (
title CHAR(40),
buying_price DECIMAL(9,2),
selling_price DECIMAL(9,2)). Since each
Attribute's type is either
CHAR or castable to
CHAR, we'll make a
function which simply concatenates each Attribute into one big character
string. Here's how:
CREATE FUNCTION f (book_udt) RETURNS CHAR(80) DETERMINISTIC CONTAINS SQL BEGIN DECLARE c CHAR(60); SET c = book_udt.title() || CAST(book_udt.buying_price() AS char(20)) || CAST(book_udt.selling_price() AS char(20)); RETURN (u); END;
Now that we have a function, we can make a cast for the function:
CREATE CAST (book_udt AS CHAR(60)) WITH FUNCTION f (book_udt);
Now that we have a cast, we can use
BOOK_UDT in a
CAST expression:
SELECT CAST(book_udt AS CHAR(60)) FROM Books;
Thus, we can design our own external representation of a UDT, without worrying about its internal representation.
For distinct type UDTs only, the DBMS automatically creates two casts. For example, if you make this UDT:
CREATE TYPE longitude AS REAL FINAL;
the DBMS will make these two casts for it:
CREATE CAST (longitude AS REAL) ... AS ASSIGNMENT; CREATE CAST (REAL AS longitude) ... AS ASSIGNMENT;
Now, suppose you have a variable "
lo" of type
LONGITUDE. Because of the
automatic cast, it's legal to cast a <literal> to
LONGITUDE, for example:
SET lo = CAST (33.59 AS longitude);
Not only that, though! The casts are
AS ASSIGNMENT casts, so this SQL
statement is also legal:
SET lo = 33.59;
AS ASSIGNMENT feature, which got into the SQL Standard at a very late
stage, is bound to confuse some people: they'll think that "distinct types" are
just a way to rename predefined <data type>s. That would be a delusion. The
reason that "
SET lo = 33.59;" is legal is that there is an implicit cast
(the DBMS makes it silently) which happens to be an implicitly invoked cast (it
contains an
AS ASSIGNMENT clause).
TIP: Implicitly invocable casts are convenient but error-prone. If you don't
want to allow loosely-typed phrases like "money_column = 5.00", you should DROP
the cast that the DBMS created and then explicitly make it again -
- but without specifying "
AS ASSIGNMENT" in the definition.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|OMG Love St Martin. And Love Orient Bay Beach.
Suggested itinerary, if you like to explore:
Day 1: late start, head to Baie Columbier, anchor and have dinner aboard (no facilities). You can hike over the hill to the north side of St. Barts if you have time or do this the next morning.
Day 2: short sail to the open anchorage off the fort by Gustavia. Check in with the port captain, have a Cheeseburger in Paradise for lunch, check out the town and pick out a nice restaurant for dinner.
Day 3: 16 miles or so to Orient Bay. Make sure you know how to approach it. Anchor off Club Orient, beach your dinghy, and walk to the center of the beach. Rent a chaise and enjoy the scenery and the great beach. Pick a restaurant for dinner.
Day 4: Sail to Road Bay, Anguilla, check in with customs and look for the restaurant run by expat Brits near the commercial pier.
Day 5: Sail to Grand Case, and dinghy in to the pier (don't forget the stern anchor), spend some time to figure out which of the nice restaurants looks best (it would be hard to make a bad choice!).
Day 6: Return to Oyster Pond by noon.
Some caveats: You may want to eliminate the Anguilla stop if the conditions are not right for you. If it is rough, you ought to skip Orient Bay, as it can get dicey as you approach. Marigot would be an alternate if you need one.
|The road to and from the airport (Welfare Road) will reopen on 12/09. The traffic has been a nightmare while the road has been one way because of changes inn the water supply system. It has been taking hours to get through Cole Bay.
|captain conrad
|Great information! Do conditions prevent going ashore for dinner with the dinghy Is it too rough to plan on doing this regularly. This was our routine when in the BVIs and we found many great spots for evening dining.
We've chartered twice out of Oyster Bay and a lot more in the Virgin Islands (US, British, Spanish). The winds might be higher in the St. Martin area, but it's not that far from the BVI and a lot of your sailing will be on a reach, say between St. Martin and St. Barts.
Agree with speciald about provisioning, given your short time aboard, and you should plan on eating dinner aboard more often than not. Given your 5 day schedule, and assuming the conditions are not too rough, you ought to visit Orient Bay and spend a day on the beach. We prefer the Ile Pinel anchorage for snorkeling and staying overnight, but the Green Caye anchorage is more convenient to the beach. We'd recommend you approach the beach in your dinghy at the south end of Club Orient to avoid a shallow reef.
Grand Case is a must for the fine dining. There are so many choices, so you'll need an hour or so to check out the menus. You'll also need to use a stern anchor for your dinghy, assuming you are coming in at the pier.
Marigot is interesting ashore, but we've not been tempted to stay there overnight. Going in the other direction, you might stop at Ile Fourche (uninhabited, but you can hike there) and/or Columbier on St. Barts proper. You'll be eating aboard in either case. Columbier has a hiking trail over to Flamands beach, which is worth the time. If you go on to Gustavia, you will likely anchor in an open area and dinghy in to check in with the Harbor Master and pay an anchoring fee. I think its worth the bother. You can also get an original Cheeseburger in Paradise or have a nice dinner elsewhere.

I'm comming in this Friday. Are the Christmas winds a danger or just uncomfortable?
Whats the weather are the Xmass winds easterly.
We have the boat provisioned for three day and plan eating off the boat most of the time. What about Road Bay in Anguilla.
|I'm in Oyster Pond finally having been delayed by the late tropical storm.The grocery is NOT at the Moorings/Sunsail base. The road from the airport through Cole Bay is a disaster. I would recomend Grand Marche and Cost You Less ( a Costco clone) for provisioning. They are both on Bush road. You can take a taxis from your hotel - the drivers usually will wait for you. I would plan on eating on the boat most nights. By the way - we have what they call the Christmas winds where the strngth may be greater than 20 knots each day. This week has been great with less than 3-6 foot seas in the passage to St. Barth's and 10-15 knot winds.

Mauro Icardi drove the winner past diving goalkeeper Jesus Fdez in the fifth round of penalty kicks to lift Inter Milan past Real Madrid after they tied 1-1 on Saturday in an International Champions Cup match.
Icardi also converted a penalty kick in the 68th minute to tie it. Referee Ricardo Salazar awarded the penalty kick after Inter newcomer Nemanja Vidic went down in the box on a challenge by Sobrino.
"We played well today," Inter manager Walter Mazzarri said. "We have young guys and we started a new cycle. Obviously, we're not going to be happy just participating (in the tournament). We're looking to obtain results."
Gareth Bale scored for Real Madrid in the 10th minute, unleashing a strike into the top left corner of the net from about 25 yards out. The Welsh star also bounced a header off the crossbar less than three minutes into the match and nearly converted a direct free kick in the 30th minute
"He had a really good holiday. Forty days," Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said about Bale. "He's fresh and he's working really well. ... Everyone is sure that it will be better for him this year."
A sellout crowd of 62,583 fans watched the testy match at Memorial Stadium on the University of California campus. The contest featured four bookings and a shoving match broke out after a hard challenge from Real Madrid's Raul de Tomas in the 48th minute.
The eight-club Guinness International Champions Cup will continue at various stadiums throughout North America until Aug. 4.
Bale only played the first half but starred on a day when virtually all of Real Madrid's starting 11 was unavailable. Forwards Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, midfielder Luka Modric and defender Sergio Ramos — among others — did not play for the Champions League winner. Prized acquisitions James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos also were unavailable for Ancelotti.
Real Madrid controlled the pace for most of the game. Inter Milan made a late push after Ancelotti inserted second-half substitutes. Fdez had to make two tough saves on a quick flurry of shots in the 79th minute during Inter's best chance to score a go-ahead goal.Report Typo/Error

The National Rifle Association is in the middle of its mid-winter hunting season. It is a time when red blooded good Christian men and women take up arms in defense of religion and the American way of life. A new video argues: "are the president's kids more important than yours? Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?" Of course, EVERY child of a president is protected by the Secret Service, and for some reason this protection is NOT provided to ALL American kids! Definitely prejudice and hypocrisy on the part of Obama.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie offered a balanced comment: "To talk about the president's children or any public officers children who have, not by their own choice, but by requirement to have protection, to use that somehow to try to make a political point, I think is reprehensible."

Google Chromebook: Business Model By Ideology
Posted by George Colony on May 16, 2011
- 808 Recommendations
- 7 comments
CEOs must assiduously guard against ideology. They should avoid choosing a path for their business based on a rigid worldview. Ideology has killed many great industries, from railroads to word processors to fax machines. It interferes with logical, market-sensitive thinking, leading CEOs to ignore, and ultimately offend, their customers.
Google's announcement of its Chromebook constitutes a real-time case study. Chromebook hinges on the idea that we no longer need local storage or applications on our computers -- that the Web can handle most tasks.
Without the Web, Google's business model fails. Every time we search, Google gets a chance to make money based on advertising. That's why the company wants us to ditch our powerful laptops and trade them in for Web-centric workstations that won't work unless they are linked to Google's servers.
There's only one problem. While networks get cheaper and faster every year, processors and storage devices improve at even faster rates. That's why the iPad 2 has the power of a 1990s-era supercomputer. This means that the dominant future architecture will leverage powerful local devices and services available in the Internet cloud. Forrester calls this App Internet, and we believe that it will push the Web (and Google's current advertising model) into the background.
CEOs sometimes hope that the world will stop spinning -- that their dominant market positions and ideology will last forever. That's the prayer Bill Gates would incant in the middle of the night back in 1994 when his technology monopoly was unchallenged. J.P. Morgan would chant the mantra in 1902 when his financial empire was at its zenith. But business strategies are not composed from wishful thinking or doctrinaire ideology. What Google hopes will happen, will not make it happen.
Saying that Chromebook will
Comment from Sarsij Nayanam (not verified) on Mon, 05/16/2011 - 08:22
Saying that Chromebook will fail without Internet, is much like saying Your phone will be useless without the network.
Yes, it will fail without the internet ... but don't you think that in the enterprise environment, internet connectivity is one of the essential components of the infrastructure?
2-3 years down the line, internet connectivity would be as much available as the mobile phone network. Hence I still see a solid chance of Google Chromebook making a huge market for itself.
The Web and the Internet
Comment from George Colony on Wed, 05/18/2011 - 13:27
Now, I am saying that Google's business model fails without the Web, not the Internet. The Internet is a network, the Web is the software that we all use to exchange information on that network. It is my belief that the Internet is alive and well, but that the software we use (the Web) will be replaced by App Internet and other software models. And when that happens, Google's business model will suffer.
Neither Internet only nor App Internet is the end
Comment from Eric Woning (not verified) on Mon, 05/16/2011 - 08:24
I agree partly on what you say.
I think Google has it all wrong.
But I also seriously doubt app internet as the be all end all of internet either.
Here's why.
The PC & the internet are generative systems: systems which are anarchic in its original form - you have the ability to build on it what you want.
Because of this the original use is often ditched for something that no one thought of before, but which in the end seems to make sense (hindsight always being 20-20 vision)
With App internet & SAAS (let's call it cloud computing) you are always dependent on OS's or wether the App builder opens up it's software - thus you can nearly always ONLY use the thing as intended.
Look for instance at twitter - it started out very generative with a whole ecosystem being built around it.... and now... they are closing it off - making it less generative. why? because generativity makes something harder to make $
And as to what the costs of things are... and if theystay the way YOU want... who will say which programs you will have to pay what for in the future..... isn't having something on your computer that you use all of the time (instead of renting it as you do with App internet or SAAS - because they can ALWAYS change the thing you have bought into with a flick of a button)
And then there are the ISP's who now are starting to show their real face with Net Nutrality... or better said - the lack thereof (see the example of the Dutch Telco KPN - and following that the confession of Vodaphone last week)
I seriously doubt that with all of this turmoil about clouds and access if we really want to truly 'own' nothing....
P.s. of course it is ludicrous to rent a computer from Google which in the course of 4 years costs as much as an MacBook which then is not updates technically (inside the computer). For that money it is ALWAYS better to get a MacBook.... I don't understand where Google thought that we would be as happy to buy a samsung laptop for the same amount - but without the styling.
P.p.s. for a more in-depth reasoning - please read the future of the internet by Jonothan Zittrain

Apps and browsers are kissing
Comment from Michael Schroeder (not verified) on Sun, 05/22/2011 - 17:16
Apps and browsers are kissing cousins. Technically, you can view a device platform (ipad) as the browser for an app. Choosing local or network based resources is a developer decision not a corporate position.
We now have a hybrid landscape of web and device based apps. The Chromebook focuses on an important market segment. It's not a peek of the future but a reflection of today. Google is really good at solving today's problems - not so much at inventing tomorrows technology (think Apple).
Google has golden engineering street cred, with flocks of developers to help steer the ship. Captains should heed their voices and innovations to inform course corrections. It seems Google does this very well.
Great topic, thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.
The Local Computational Power Is There
Comment from Sebastião Cartaxo (not verified) on Sat, 05/28/2011 - 14:41
Maybe we no longer need local storage or computational power, but they are there, and they are a very good option to improve the apps performance.
I am a developer and I have already done many professional apps that run even without internet connections. My customers notice the difference between a pure web application and the one which run locally (Internet apps ). They run faster and with a much more efficient interface.
I think the only problem with the local machines was the Microsoft monopoly, but it is in the past.
What about Windows/Enterprise apps?
Comment from Adam Greenblum (not verified) on Tue, 06/21/2011 - 11:08
If you are considering Chromebooks but don't want to leave your Windows apps behind, you should look at Ericom AccessNow, a pure HTML5 RDP client that enables Chromebook users to connect to any RDP host, including Terminal Server (RDS Session Host), physical desktops or VDI virtual desktops – and run their applications and desktops in a browser.
Ericom's AccessNow does not require Java, Flash, Silverlight, ActiveX, or any other underlying technology to be installed on end-user devices – an HTML5 browser is all that is required.

grille mesh
seeing alot of DIY mesh grilles using gutter guards, and ive been looking.. what mesh do you guys use? ive found everything from damn near free plastic mesh, to hundreds of dollars worth of aluminum rust free stuff. what do you guys recommend?
an svt grille, it looks so much cleaner. you can find the svt grille in partouts in the bst. im not sure if there still available from tousley or not. or a euro if you have turn signals in your headlights, (ebay, mach, etc). stealthzx3 did this mod, send him a pm if your dead set on doing the mesh
i just dropped almost all my money from my last paycheck on foglights and stuff, so i'm looking for mesh. not a huge fan of the svt grille, and i need turn signals, the mesh seems to be the cheapest way to do this, and from what i've seen, it can look sick
but if you wanna do it you might as well go for something a little better than gutter guard lol , some of the mesh they sell precisly for this is actually pretty nice , still youd have to do all the fitting and cutting to make it look perfect . imho its a pain in the ass but if you do it right then more power to you
I used some of this from Lowe's. Found it in the sheetmetal section. I had a top grill done, but went to the clear lights after. I still have the bottom done. I had to connect two pieces though.
Those pics look great, that's what im going for in the end. Will post pics when its done
I think the mesh I bought is something like 10"x24". There are two pieces in the package. It's sold as b-b-q grill repair. It's in a flat cardboard package. The best result would be to have the two pieces tack welded together. I just overlapped mine and wire tied it. If you use this, clean it really good first and use some kind of rust protective paint. I didn't and I'm repainting it about twice a year. Too lazy to just take it out and do it right.
I got just 6" by 3' sheets, that ill plastidip here soon. Then when I get the other fog light grille ill do that too
Im gonna cut out the upper grille too to let my grille lights shine through more too, I hope it turns out nice

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/6/2014 (1113 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One of the biggest trends in beer right now is fruit-flavoured beers. Some make sense, such as wheat ales with a hint of raspberry sweetness, while others are just outright strange, like Bud Lime Straw-ber-rita, which tastes more like a fruit cooler than a beer.
One fruity style of beer that has been popular before it was cool were unfiltered witbiers and hefeweizens — Belgian- and German-style wheat ales that have a sweetness of either oranges or bananas.
Unibroue's Blanche de Chambly and Rickard's White are two popular examples of the style, while Rickard's is much more of an orangey wheat ale than most — it's proven to be a hit, especially on the patio in summertime.
Toronto's Amsterdam Brewery has a new-to-me wheat ale that's a huge hit in the Toronto pub scene in summer time — Oranje Weisse Summer White Ale, a Belgian-style witbier that's brewed with un-malted wheat to give it a hazy appearance.
Featuring two types of orange peel, coriander, and a touch of anise, with all of these flavours, it's like a party in your mouth in patio weather.
Oranje weisse pours a very hazy golden straw yellow, with a nice amount of fluffy white cloud foam. This isn't your filtered wheat ale — it looks like how a weisse should be. The aroma has notes of orange peels, coriander, Belgian yeast and a light bubble-gum scent.
For taste, this is a bit of a lighter wheat ale than a Rickard's as the notes of orange are much more toned down. There still are notes of orange, orange peels, a minimal amount of coriander, a bit of a breadiness to it and a bit of a light bitter aftertaste from the hops and the Belgian yeast to give it a bittersweet flavour that lingers on and on.
Overall, this is a good example of a Belgian-style wheat ale, unfiltered so you don't lose the subtle citrus notes and hazy as it should be.
One thing that disappoints me about this beer is that it's not as sweet as I expected. With a name like Oranje, I expected a huge hit of orange right from the beginning. However, the orange notes are quite minimal as I'm tasting more of the Belgian yeast and coriander than the actual orange itself.
If you really want a very orangy beer, add a slice of orange. For me, I like my beers without a slice of fruit.
Coming Soon:
Fort Garry Raspberry Quencher
Remember how I was saying that fruit beers are becoming the rage? Fort Garry is also coming out with a raspberry wheat ale made with puréed raspberries. Available in 473mL cans at 4.5 per cent ABV and $2.96 per can, this could be a popular summertime treat by the campfire.
Fort Garry Evil Goat Doppelbock
I had the pleasure of trying this delicious beer right from the brewing tank back in March. This is a sweet, raisiny ale that's going to really wow the beer geeks. Apparently at the brewery, it was so good that they weren't able to can nearly as much as they expected, because they kept drinking it all! Then again, I drank almost a pitcher's worth when I was visiting the brewery — it's that good. I really appreciate that Fort Garry is really experimenting with different styles of beer. If you like a strong, sweet, caramel and raisiny beer, you will enjoy this. Pick up a can as soon as you can, as this won't last long. It's a powerful 8.5 per cent ABV at $3.14 per 473mL can. This will hopefully be available soon at the 10th and Victoria Liquor Mart and possibly the Corral Centre Liquor Mart, too.

Scud is the nickname given to the main source of income for Chololo, a village near Dodoma, the arid capital of Tanzania. It is a local brew made by fermenting sorghum crops in sugar and sold for around 25 cents a litre. Julia can produce up to 60 litres a day, amounting to a hefty wage compared with what she earns for the two days of manual labour involved in building a rocket stove.
A rocket stove is about half a metre high, built inside mud huts using mud bricks and clay. The stove is less dangerous than the open fire on which food is normally cooked. An insulated fire retains the heat inside the stove, cooks much faster and uses less wood. Chimney and pot designs add further advantages, as they channel the smoke out of the hut and allow for more than one dish to be prepared at the same time.
"The stoves are cheap," says Julia, "but when you need that cash for more immediate needs, it's just not the first item you want to invest in."
Many villagers become impatient with rocket stoves, as initially they don't light as easily as an open fire. If not used regularly, they take longer to cook meals, causing many people to revert to their old fires. The sad reality is that in many cases when cooking habits eventually do adapt to new trends, people aspire for a type of charcoal-based stove instead of the rocket stove, regardless of the detrimental impact these have on the environment.
Hillary Clinton's recent decision to launch the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (GACC) is an attempt to answer the demands of climate change by spreading the know-how of making clean stoves across the world in many more varieties than the rocket stoves. Awareness campaigns are one of the ways this major donor intends to deliver a clean stove to 200m households.
"Raising awareness about the advantages of the stove is important but the cultural barrier is still the major obstacle," said Justin Chidawali, senior technical officer of Sunseed Tanzania Technologies, the local NGO dedicated to training villagers in stove building. The stoves must overcome the inevitable cultural shock if they are to gain popularity. Sustainable development initiatives like these may be popular in green-minded circles but their sustainability component requires a bit more development.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia - Everyone knew the danger. An uneasiness hung in the frosted Canadian air four years ago. Nerves were on edge.
For good reason.
Just hours before the flame was ignited on Feb. 12, 2010 in Vancouver, an otherwise typical morning in the picture-perfect Blackcomb Mountains turned tragic.
Back in Lake Placid, N.Y., Aidan Kelly was on his computer in study hall monitoring the luge competitors as they took their final training runs on the Whistler track before the start of the Winter Olympics.
Without warning, the screen went dark. Disaster, as some feared would happen, came in an unimaginable flash.
In one moment, the sport of luge was forever changed.
"I was that nerd kid who watched everything about luge," said Kelly, a U.S. luger who was just 15 at the time and dreaming of competing in the Olympics. "The guy on the track was going and going and then ... ."
And then Nodar Kumaritashvili, the slider Kelly was watching, was dead.
The worst-case scenario, the one foretold by startling speeds, experienced champions crashing during practice, even private predictions from sliding officials, had occurred. Kumaritashvili, an easygoing 21-year-old from a tiny skiing village in war-torn Georgia where his father and uncle raised him to slide, was thrown from his sled traveling at nearly 90 mph, faster than he had ever gone before.
Unable to navigate the last turn of the treacherous track, Kumaritashvili, who had escaped injury during an earlier wreck, went feet-first into one wall, the impact somehow ricocheting his body off the track and the back of his head struck an exposed steel pole within sight of the finish line.
He died instantly.
His death sapped joy from the games, and raised questions about safety and whether the sliding sports - bobsled, skeleton and luge - had pushed the threshold of human performance too far in trying to see how fast highly trained athletes on wind-tunnel-tested, state-of-the-art equipment could go on ice.
"What happened in Vancouver, people can term it as a freak accident but I think it taught a lesson to a lot of people in the sport to take a lot more care when it comes to safety issues," said Indian luger Shiva Keshavan. "That's what they've done here."
To help prevent another serious mishap, organizers for the Sochi Games designed a slower track, but one they believe will still challenge the world's top sliders and drivers.
The Sanki Sliding Center's course, where competition begins Saturday, includes three "uphill" sections that will reduce speeds up to 10 mph. The inclines will put a premium on racers minimizing their mistakes or risk losing even more speed.
Despite the modifications, it's plenty fast and will provide speed-craving athletes the rush they need.
"I do it for the speed and the adrenaline and the G force," said USA-1 bobsled driver Steven Holcomb. "It's fun. You don't get on a rollercoaster because you like the big safety harness. You do it because you like the speed and the adrenaline."
Because that mix can be catastrophic or fatal, Sanki's facility includes a heliport landing pad with an ambulance at the ready in case there's a medical emergency.

Quote:Hello allLast year, while living up in the city, I dropped in to a fencing class. I ended up training there until I moved home again.I enjoyed the training. It was technically complex yet simple, if that makes sense! Simple in that the movements were easy to learn, but complex in that they were hard to master and there were many sublties that I hadn't picked up on.I found the basics of fencing to be similar to boxing, and I began to notice areas of crossover between the two.In particular, I found the footwork very useful: Although it was usually linear, it was quite good as it trained me to move forwards and backwards quicker that I had ever learnt in any MA class. Aside from that, it was a pretty good workout! Has anyone else here ever fenced before?

Cat A Pole - Furball Fables
We love this cat toy which we think is the cats meow of cat wands !I
It's a mouse, it's a bird, its random motion at it's best! Its the Cat-A Pole! The Furball cat boys think this is the best cat toy ever!! We found it recently at the Santa Monica Cat Show. We loved it so much we got one and decided to review it for our youtube channel, Furball Fables. It measures about 9 feet. You can play with it in a small space or a large space. We found it moved differently depending on where you hold it on the handle. Great for one cat or a household of kitties. Watch your cat go crazy for hours!
Each of the cats responded to it in their own way. Merlin liked to hide and pounce on it. Yogi played catch and fetch with it. Buddha chased it, jumped and killed it! Elfin, who is so shy was so curious by this toy. It brought him out of his shell (the white siamese with the big blue eyes) he played with the other cats and became very outgoing! (AMAZING!) Sometimes all 4 boys would take turns like a game.
It's as much fun for humans as it is for cats!
Thank you very much,

Literacy skills help students gain knowledge through reading as well as using media and technology. These skills also help students create knowledge through writing as well as developing media and technology.
Information Literacy
Students need to be able to work effectively with information, using it at all levels of Bloom's Taxonomy (remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating). Information literacy involves traditional skills such as reading, researching, and writing; but new ways to read and write have also introduced new skills:
Media Literacy
Media literacy involves understanding the many ways that information is produced and distributed. The forms of media have exploded in the last decade and new media arrive every day:

Profile in use
TXC2alpha4 32bits Win7. BTW thanks for this new version!
After a build push F5 to see the PDF. Acrobat 9 Pro opens an empty window and TXC freezes.
Attached the profile I'm using.
Profile in use
Did not look at the profile yet, but did you run the output profile wizard to get this?
Also, I am afraid I do not have Acrobat Pro. Not 100% sure if I can test it.
But let me know about the profile & wizard.
The same freeze happens if I change the starting method from DDE to command line. Now I try with the wizard.
1) The profiles where created by the wizard at installation time
2) If I create a Profile using Ghostscript as viewer it works, show the file (using command line) and does not freeze.
3) Could the problem be related to the time Acrobat needs to start?
4) I never had problems with alpha 3. Same machine same Acrobat.
Now I have configured SumatrPDF. Well, there are configuration problems, but at least I can see the compilation results. So you can reduce priority to this ticket. BTW, if you need any test using Acrobat Pro, let me know.
Ok, fixed it. You need to use "acroview" as the server name. Not "acroviewA9".
Fixed the wizard such that this will not happen in the future.
Thank you!

Newport 27 rudder bearing
I am looking for help and advice to repair or replace the rudder bearing on my newport 27 (1979). Information seems to be hard to come by on the internet. The rudder stock has currently about 2-3mm play in the cockpit bearing, which is interfering with the tiller pilot. Considering that the epoxy dome around the bearing is somewhat cracked I can only assume that this will get worse.
I should have the skills to replace it myself and do the necessary epoxy work. What I gathered so far is that the epoxy with the bearing needs to be cut out and rebuild.
So here are my questions:
- Any general recommendations or links to websites that could help (w/ photos)?
- What is the best place to buy bearings for a Newport
- Is there another bearing at the hull that would also need to be replaced?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Emperor Group Halts North Korea Casino Operation on Kim's Death
Emperor Group, a Hong Kong-based company with investments in hotels and financial services, has halted its North Korea casino operation following the death of Kim Jong Il.
"Our hotel in North Korea is operating as usual while the casino is temporarily suspended," Sherman Wu, a spokeswoman at Emperor Group, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. The group doesn't "have any contingency plan at the moment" for the hotel.
North Korea's leadership is undergoing a transition after Kim died Dec. 17, the official Korean Central News Agency said on Dec. 19. His son, Kim Jong Un, is the designated successor. Billionaire Chairman Albert Yeung's Emperor Group runs a five-star Emperor Hotel & Casino at the Rason Special Economic Zone in North Korea since 1999, according to the company's website.
The group's hotel offers 150 standard rooms and suites.
The Emperor Group's listed subsidiaries include brokerage Emperor Capital Group Ltd. (717), investment holding company Emperor International Holdings Ltd. and Emperor Entertainment Hotel Ltd. (296)

Duff-Norton linear actuators can handle any lifting and lowering application up to 2,000 lbs (910 kgs). As the translating tube of the actuator extends and retracts, the object that the actuator is attached to is raised and lowered at consistent speed.
When an application requires periodic adjustment to the position of an object or objects, Duff-Norton linear actuators provide the solution. The motion of the actuator allows the operator to position an object by simply pushing a button.
Portable Lighting
PROBLEM: Movie and construction crews need portable lighting for work at night. Lighting that is compact for travel and easily erected on location was difficult to find.
SOLUTION: Duff-Norton linear actuators mounted to the skeleton of the lighting system, allows the lights to be drawn flush against the vehicle, then extended on location at the flip of a switch. Additional actuators adjust the angle of the lighting fixtures.
Drill Press Table
PROBLEM: When work pieces of different sizes require manual machining, it is necessary to adjust the height of the drill press table. Adjusting the height of the table manually is both time consuming and fatiguing.
SOLUTION: Duff-Norton linear actuators mounted under the table allows the operator to change the height of the table as often as needed using either hand or foot controls.
Engine Assembly Fixture
PROBLEM: Fixture must be highly adjustable to specific positions for different procedures. The movement of the fixture must be smooth and reliable.
SOLUTION: Duff-Norton linear actuators are used to raise and lower the assembly fixture. This saves assembly time, reduces employee fatigue and work related injuries.
Roll / Slide
When it is necessary to roll or slide an object or a mechanical assembly into position, a Duff-Norton linear actuator is the answer. The movement of the actuator causes the clamping, rolling or sliding of the desired object.
Open / Close
A Duff-Norton linear actuatormounted on a door, gate or valve allows opening and closing operations on either a timed, or on-demand basis. As the actuator retracts, the gate is opened at a steady rate; the extension of the actuator returns the gate to a closed position.
Duff-Norton linear actuators offer a perfect solution for applications in which tension on a conveyor or web must be maintained and adjusted. An actuator mounted on a frame or roller extends and retracts to control the tension in the system.
Drum / Barrel Lifter
PROBLEM: Hazardous material sealed in drums must be handles and processed for disposal. It is desirable to minimize human involvement in the process.
SOLUTION: Two Duff-Norton linear actuators are used in each assembly. One operates a set of ratchet clamps that securely grasp the drum. The other actuator lifts the drum for pouring.
Industrial Oven
PROBLEM: Industrial oven doors can be very large and must often be opened and closed on a timed basis to allow for steady flow of material in and out
SOLUTION: A Duff-Norton linear actuator is connected to the oven door and operated by an electronic control system. the actuator opens and closes the door to allow materials to enter and exit when prompted by the control system.
conveyor System
PROBLEM: The tension in conveyor belts must frequently be adjusted to allow for crates of different sizes and to take up slack in the system that develops with use.
SOLUTION: A Duff-Norton linear actuator is mounted to a roll at one end of the conveyor system. At the push of a button, the actuator adjusts the position of the roll, controlling the tension in the entire system. Actuators can also be used to reposition conveyor systems.

Hello all! I'm an AudioJungle author. Music will always be a primary hobby of mine, but it gets a bit stale and repetitious at times. I find myself interested in taking on more hobbies to distract my mind from the frustratingly monotonous nature of daily life. Photography seems like a good one to consider as it may actually inspire me to get out of the house a little more. A hobby that takes place away from the pale light of the computer screen will probably be a good idea.
So I did a bit of preliminary research on photography and the terminology behind it. I thought I would pose this question here. What is the most basic equipment that I should consider? I'm not looking to do this professionally, so I don't want to throw my whole bank account at it, but I would like to take pictures with a high enough level of quality that they may pass photodune standards.
If it makes a difference, the kind of photography I'm interested in is more outdoors (forests, ponds, nature, wildlife, ect.). There are a number of forests and wildlife parks nearby that would be interesting to shoot in. I fondly remember spending a good bit of time in the woods as a kid, and now that I have kids of my own I feel this could be a good outdoor hobby that we can share in.
I'd say look at starter DSLR from Canon or Nikon or similar (even a good used or older model would be a good starting point). The lens that comes with it should be good enough for you to get a feel for the camera. Then get out there and practice, practice, practice
Ok, Thank you! I'm looking into it.
I'd have to agree practice is key. Make it fun… always make it fun

I had smart lipo done mainly on my lower abdomen 6.5 weeks ago...the doctor said 500cc's were taken out (I'm 5'8 150lbs).
The garment was really itchy for the first few weeks but eventually went away. Main concern here is that I still look the same almost 7 weeks after the surgery.
Updated Nov 17, 2009
7 weeks ago, I had smart lipo done mainly on my lower abdomen. I wore the compression garment two weeks straight and my abs looked great...my stomach was very flat. I then noticed that after I remove the garment, my stomach tends to look a little "poofy" and not as flat. I was wearing the garment at night so when I woke up in the morning, my stomach looked flat and nice but a few hours later, it would go back to looking how it did before. I met with my doctor yesterday and he said it is the result of swelling and that eventually, my stomach will look like it does with or without the garment but my concern is only 500 cc's were taken out and I don't even look/feel swollen...has anyone else had this same issue? I'm just afraid that I will only be satisfied with my stomach after I wear the garment.After I took off the garment wearing it for 2 weeks straight, my lower abdomen looked great, completely flat but at the 6.5 week mark, my lower abdomen looks the same as it did before...I have noticed that when I wake up in the morning and take off the garment (I wear it only at night now) my stomach looks very flat but after a few hours, it goes back to looking poofy...not sure why that is?? I'm not bruised and I don't think I am swollen anymore but am very concerned that this may be the final result...any suggestions would be great..

Studying Staten Island: From Sea Home to Secession
All this summer, we've been catching up with the five keepers of the city's past, the borough historians, who are in charge of studying and preserving the stories of New York's neighborhoods, and all for no pay. This week, in our fourth installment, WNYC's Kathleen Horan takes the ferry to Staten Island.
An informal poll of the many people crammed on the ferry to Staten Island reveals that few of them know much about the island.
Take Glenda Mullen, from Wisconsin, for example. She just alighted from the ferry and is walking around the terminal looking bewildered. She isn't sure what to do on the island and thinks they could've done a better job marketing the island.
But the Staten Island borough historian, Thomas Matteo, says they actually do a fair amount of marketing for the Island.
He's helped to devise Staten Island tours, including one near the terminal in the St. George neighborhood.
"I would certainly walk up to the Staten Island Museum, for sure they have some wonderful exhibits. Then from there she can walk one block to the Borough Hall, and in the lobby of the Borough Hall, which is open to the public, they have some beautiful murals from the 1930s," Matteo says.
Matteo is a kind of one man-marketing team for his misunderstood borough. He was born in Brooklyn, but has lived in Staten Island since he and his wife moved there in the 1970s.
The 62 year old looks relaxed in a straw hat and puka shell necklace as he drives his black, PT Cruiser convertible up a hill.
"Does this remind you of San Francisco? There are different parts of Staten Island that remind me of different parts of the U.S.," Matteo says. "There are some areas you drive into you don't belive you're in New York City. There's this one beach colony left, and you drive beyond the gates, and you'd think you were in Nantucket."
Matteo has traveled diverse terrain in his career too. He majored in biology, has two master's degrees in education and received his doctorate in administration.
He's spent more than 30 years in government and held executive posts in the city's Department of Transportation, Juvenile Justice and was President and Chief Executive Officer of Off Track Betting. He now teaches business at St. Peter's College and is the official historian of Staten Island.
In his free time he's also a scrimshander, a decorative carver of whale bone and ivory.
He drives down a long, private woodsy driveway into the landmarked campus of Seaview, the former home for tuberculosis patients. At one point, over 2,000 patients lived there. It operated from 1909 until the 1950s when a cure was found. Then the place fell into disrepair.
Now, there's a ballet studio in the former morgue, and a community center and senior citizen residence in the old Catholic church.
Up the stairs in the back of the pink former administration building is Matteo's wood paneled office. Classic photographs of Staten Island hang on the wall and old documents cover his large desk. He says he became passionate about the history of the island when he was chief of staff for the Staten Island Charter Commission in the early 1990s when the borough was trying to secede from the city.
That's right, Staten Island wanted to break up with New York.
"They felt that it had been a forgotten borough, that a lot of its taxes were going to support the subways, bridges and infrastructure, most of which is not on Staten Island. A lot of the roads on the island are not capitally built," Matteo says.
Nearly 65 percent of the island voted in favor of secession at the time. But the state assembly said it would have to be decided in a referendum, which never happened.
But Matteo says it could have worked.
"Financially, I think we could have survived as a separate city. I think we would have been the second or third largest city in all of New York State," he says.
Inspired by his work with the Charter Commission he ended up writing four books on Staten Island history.
"It's a very special place and it's hard to put the words down in writing that convey the feeling," he says. "When I was writing Staten Island Then and Now, I met a lot of wonderful people. There's one story where I went to somebody's back yard and I said 'There's a shot I want to take through your backyard, do you mind?' He says 'No, come on in, after you take your picture, we'll sit down and have a beer.'"
When the borough historian position became vacant, he says, after the fun of writing the books, he decided to toss his hat in the ring to be the fourth to hold the post. One of his predecessors, Loring McMilllen, had held the job for a record breaking 65 years. But the borough president, James Molinaro, had something else in mind when he appointed Matteo three years ago.
"He said that he was going to appoint me for a tenured position. His feeling was that you needed to have fresh blood. When you talk about historians you think about old men and dusty archives with patches on their elbows. My job is not only to preserve history, but also to try to encourage other people," Matteo says.
Matteo has been encouraging others to start writing the history of their own communities, in time for next year's 350th anniversary of the first permanent European settlement on Staten Island.
In the meantime, "come out, come out and see what its like out here," Matteo says.

How can I get my TWA to "drop"?
i really want this stupid thred to be deleted. I was JUST wondering.
It's called shrinkage and that's what some natural hair does. It shrinks. And you have a TWA because you just BC'ed, definition should not be a priority.
You can't make your hair "drop". Either it will or it won't. No product is going to make your hair do anything it doesn't want to.
Hey Afro, Do you have a picture of a TWA that has the look you are trying to go for?
At this stage of your hair length your hair isnt going to stretch out and have that hangtime. Heck even at a under shoulder length curly it might not drop as you are looking for.
With the length and then count shrinkage in , your hair probably looks as if its hugging your scalp.
Just keep it moist and add a little gel if you want , but hang time.. you have a while to get there
How natural hair looks from wet to dry is totally different. For instance, when my hair is wet, I look like a wet cat - then when it dries, it's all cute in its huge fluffy state.
You can't get your TWA to drop, especially because it's a TWA. I think you need to be a little more patient with your hair - I have seen the threads you've started over the past couple of days, and I understand that natural hair can be exciting, but a watched pot never boils. Also, I've come to learn that often women who do "too much" to their hair have less retention - they are so busy trying to achieve a certain look that they are putting more stress on their strands.
To get it to 'drop' you need patience, because whether or not it falls comes with length. The longer it gets, the more likely it will fall .
Mine didn't fall until 16months post relaxer ... Before that it grew sideways .
Patience !
The only thing that will make your hair "drop" are time, patience, and length. With a TWA, I'm curious as to what kinda "drop" you are looking for, espically since you just chopped and have only 1-2 inches of hair. I'm not even sure if that would look right....
I can't picture a TWA w/hang. Even ladies w/loose textures don't have hang when their hair is short. Shrinkage is a part of all types of curly hair. Just the nature of the beast. Maybe in a yearish your hair will start growing down. Maybe.
I know what OP is talking about, but the only way I've ever gotten that to happen was by accidentally being heavy handed with my styling cream while doing two-strand twists. My hair ended up feeling greasy for the entire week I was wearing my out for.
OP, I can tell that you're really anxious for your hair to grow and all, but you really just have to be patient! I'm at APL and my hair still doesn't hang. Well defined it shrinks down to 4 inches (from 12). Lord only knows if it'll ever hang. At this stage, really, focus on the HEALTH of your hair, the length will come, and if you have the type of hair that hangs, that'll come too.
I have to agree with the other ladies. Don't expect hang with a twa. The weight of your hair as it grows causes it to drop/hang. Some textures grow up and out, and it takes a while before there's any real hang.

this is what comes to my mind for a twa w hang. jeri curl 80s. lol

TWA stands for teeny weeny (afro), right? Well, nothing teeny weeny has much drop to it. So give it more time.
Lol at the jheri curl pics. Even those wouldn't drop if they were the length of a twa. OP I find it mind boggling that you just bc'd, have a twa and expect it to drop. Based on this and your other threads I've got to ask whether you were prepared for your bc. It seems as if you have unrealistic expectations for your hair imo. Perhaps I'm wrong. IDK.
On my EVO
it's funny that when i wanted to be a loose natural it was because i envied the chunky twist-out style. i didn't know what it was called but i wanted that sooooo bad. when i saw people with this look, i was in awe! sadly, my hair 'hangs' with the jheri curl look when i want it to grow up, out and look fierce.
i guess different strokes for different folks and all that jazz! :)
And u don't think I'm in a hurry for my hair to "drop"! Yesterday, I had it "down", fat....face.... EVERYWHERE!! Girl uh uh! LoL! I think I'll let Rebel float on for a minute. :p
Jen :D

My mom who has long been a wig wearing natural who didnt care for her hair decided to bc. I have been trying to get her to do that for years but it wasnt until her old college roommate did it did she do it. Anyway I was home for Christmas and she made the comment that her hair grows up and not down. I said that is because her hair is kinky. She bit my head off. "My hair is not kinky. It is tightly coiled. Kinky and nappy are words white people made up to talk negative about our hair."
I know a lot us see nappy as negative. Didnt know kinky was too. I wanted to say so why did put heat and chemicals in my hair all those years but I decided to be more focused on teaching her to take care and show pride in her texture.
I understand you're excited and all, but like everyone else said, you'll need to be patient. Our hair won't hang when it's only 2 inches long. It could take 1-2 years, depending on well you retain your length and then that would depend on your hair's properties. Some people's textures never hang. Theirs grow up and out. There's nothing bad about it, it's just the way it is. My hair grew up and out for nearly a year before it started to hang but then-I BC'd after 18 months without a relaxer and my hair is very fine, thin and low density so after it got to a certain point, gravity took its course and started weighing my hair down. Your hair may or may not do that but you'd need to give it a minimum of a year to know for sure.

Dear Abby, I Love You
Long, long ago, when I was in the sixth-grade, there was a boy in our class named Dennis. He was a nice enough kid as I remember, but what I remember mostly is that there was a rumor about him that his parents were divorced. I don't think I really knew what that meant. I had a friend whose father had died when my friend was seven. And I had met a boy whose father had been killed in The War. But divorce was something I had to ask my parents about. Dennis was okay, I was assured, it was probably not his fault his parents were, well, divorced.
Kay and I seemed to have done all right. We will soon be married 44 years, have five married children who seem to be as happy as this life affords. The only thing I ever wanted in life was to love my children and hopefully know they knew I loved each of them. As grandchildren came, I more-or-less approached these new additions to our family with the same want and hope.
The best years for grandkids are before they are five, when they still believe any silly thing granddaddy says. As they grow up they catch on to when granddaddy is teasing, and they somehow learn that the only excuse for keeping a granddaddy at all is to have someone extra whose only job is to love them.
About a year ago eight year old Abigail came into our life as ninth grandchild. She was part of the package we got when "I" picked out Steve as the best possible man for our only daughter. I suppose this makes us one of those "blended" families with which I have no practical experience. At the wedding Abby said she wasn't sure what to call me. She apparently already had both a grandfather and a grandpa. Since she didn't have a granddaddy, I volunteered for the job (I've always preferred granddaddy, anyhow).
Abby is a bright, "busy" child who has perfected the art of bugging her daddy (a very necessary ingredient in daddy training). My problem is she didn't have the marvelous opportunity to know me for those previous eight years. The sad result being she doesn't get my weird, obtuse humor. So I never know if she knows when I'm teasing; nor am I sure she understands I only tease people I love. Loving Abby is a most natural thing for me; it's what she generates in me and who I am. I guess I just selfishly want to know that she knows that I love her.
When our daughter, Susan, was in grade school she reported one day she was the only one in her class with no "steps" -- no stepsisters, stepbrothers, nothing. The world had changed a lot since my grade school days. I don't know whether or not it has changed for the better, but I shall try hard to change with it.
Dear Abby, I love you,

Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy Premier has been benchmarked again, this time using GLBenchmark, which measures graphics performance. And thanks to the results that were posted online, we now think we know what processor exactly ticks under the smartphone's hood. The GPU inside it is the PowerVR SGX 544 – exactly what complements the OMAP4470 SoC and its two Cortex-A9 cores.
There is still no word as to when the Samsung Galaxy Premier is expected to materialize, but given all the leaks we are being treated to, an official announcement might come pretty soon. Pricing and launch date are also up in the air for now.
Thanks for sending this in!

Top 5 Signs That You Need More Sleep
The amount of sleep you get can greatly affect your day. For instance, based on the information from my Fitbit, I know that I woke up 15 times last night and spent 10 minutes awake and 40 minutes of restless sleep. I'm tired today!
If you find yourself stumbling around a lot, having difficulties with easy decisions or just being downright disconnected from every conversation around you, there is a good chance that you need more sleep but how do you know for sure?

Steve - thanks for the link.
I just purchased a set of Rota Tarmacs (17x7.5, 48 offset) for my WRX wagon ($430 w/lugs shipped from suby_dude). I am leaning toward the Yokohama ES100s for these wheels. Will the 225/45WR17s fit without rubbing? Ive read that other tires this size will fit but the ES100s tread is wider than most. Is anyone running either 215/45 or 225/45 ES100 on this size wheel without rubbing? Is there another tire I should consider - must work well in the wet as I live in Seattle.
Thank you for any input.
2002 Silver WRX Wagon - 5 speed
Turbo Gauge, Security Upgrade, Mirror, Armrest, Premium Sound Upgrade.
225/45 17 GS-D3s on Rota Tarmacs!
I am only speculating - I run 225/50R16 ES100s on the stock wheels with no probs but when you go to 48mm offset you are closing the gap between the side wall and inside of the fender.
I reckon you may rub slightly.
Another wagon guy here in St Louis is running 48mm offset OZ Superleggas in the 18 and he had to remove the fender liner on the rear (but his car does look great!)
Pace runs 215s on a 17" wheel and has no rubbing. If you were to go to the 215 on the 48mm offset you would be in the same boat as me with stock offset and 225s.
I've also got a (White) 02 Wagon, and I'm running the Eibach Pro-Kit springs, stock struts, Rota Attack's, 225/50/17 Falken Azenis and a Perrin rear sway bar, and I do get quite a bit of rub in the back, especially with passengers.
I ended up having to roll the rear fenders and still occasionally get slight rub. The rear alignment is set at 0 toe and 1.7 negative camber, and yes I do AutoX it. (1st and 2nd in STX so far)
There another wagon running the AutoX's and he's got MSW (?) wheels with a 55 offset and has no problem with rubbing. He's also got the $2400 Cobb Tuning stage 2 suspension package...
I just picked up a set of STi rims/rubber for my 02 wagon (stock height). I pray they fit w/o any tweaking, if not, I will make them fit w/a camber alignment.
I'll let you know how they go on!
ps: they are take offs (175miles) which I got from a wrxnet/nabisco head! (read: nice nice delivered deal!)

Hmm. I just got some Rota Subzero 18 x 7.5 with +48 offset
I put on Yokohama Parada Spec 2
SIze 225 40ZR 18
No rubbing yet, and it looks like there's plenty of clearance.
Havent lowered my wagon yet though.
Just FYI
I have a question in reguards to the Prodrive wheels in 18's.
For reading seems most say to opt for offset of 43mm to 47mm of a 8" wide wheel.
Looking on Prodrive's website at the following:
PFF7's 18x8 51mm
GC-07's 18x8 43mm
GC-06's 18x8 43mm
GC-010's 18x8 43mm
I am curious to know why the GC's come in the 43mm offset vs a 51mm. Is the diffence due to the wheel/spoke design?
I dont intend to do a big brake upgrade, at most I will opt for the STi 4/2 piston setup. But the brake kit upgrade is a BIG maybe.
Car in question is a WRX Wagon w/ SPT struts and STi lowerings springs (pink's).
Tire size looking to run is 225/40/18 *Toyo T1's)
Anybody shed some like to this?
"Boost, it's the #2 replacement for displacement"
Hey, is anybody else with a wagon running 225/50/16's on the stock wheels with prodrive springs? Any rubbing issues? The prodrives only lower the car about 1" front and rear. I'm currently planning on going with some 205/55/16's unless I'm pretty sure that there won't be any problems with the wider tires and springs.
I have eibach prokits lowers 1.3-1.5. and no rubbing issues.Originally posted by wrxdude

I have read a bunch here, first of all. So please no flames. I am prob. gonna buy this winter set up so I can drive in the snow even faster onmy way to go boarding!
4 (four) used less then one winter Dunlup SP Winter Sport 3D snow tires 225/45VR17 mounted on ASA JH3 silver 5x100 17x7.5" STi offset rims (rims are 4 winters old). Will fit WRX, Legacy, Forester, Baja, and pre-2005 STi.: $600 for the package.
And I want to be sure that all will fit well on my 2004 wrx WAGON before I go buy 'em. So will they fit with the sti offset on the wagon, which is bone stock other than my cobb V2 accessport.
is there any way to tell what offset rims are?
two of the tires on the set of wheels i got with my wagon are worn on the inside. i dont know if they were on the front or back. tires are 225/45/17's kumho escta(not sure on which though as of right now im about 170 miles from my car and house so i cant check). i think the wheels maybe advan rcII's but again im not sure. they look just like them, but gun metal. as far as suspension... from what i have noticed and was told by the fella i bought it off of is that its all STi goods.

First Five CDs of the series "Historic Organs of Oaxaca, Mexico" released by IOHIO
Organ enthusiasts may now hear the Spanish-style baroque pipe organs of Oaxaca, Mexico in a series of live recordings that not only demonstrate the unique and brilliant character of the instruments but also provide exciting performances by distinguished organists. Experts have long recognized and appreciated these organs for their particular design as well as their distinctive sound. The seven organs that are now playable (out of 69 extant instruments or their remains in the state) have been featured variously in the eight International Organ and Early Music Festivals sponsored by the Instituto de Órganos Históricos de Oaxaca (IOHIO). However, except for Festival attendees, few organ lovers outside of Oaxaca have heard their voices.
The IOHIO has remedied this situation by launching a new series, "Historic Organs of Oaxaca, Mexico," which brings the sound of these remarkable 18th-century instruments to the general public. Recorded live during the highly regarded International Organ and Early Music Festivals, the first four of these CDs transport the listener into the baroque churches of San Jerónimo Tlacochahuaya (Vols. I and IV) and the Oaxaca Cathedral (Vols. II and III) and reveal the arresting tone characteristics of their meantone-tuned organs, masterfully restored during the 1990s by organbuilder Susan Tattershall. All disks include a 20-page booklet in English and Spanish with essays by Barbara Owen about the Oaxacan organs and by Cicely Winter about the organ of Tlacochahuaya or the Oaxaca Cathedral. We highly recommend these unique recordings to aficionados of the Spanish organ repertoire and of the organs of Latin America, Mexico, and Oaxaca.

The Love-charm of Bombs: Restless Lives in the Second World War
Rosemary Hill writes:
On 31 August 1939 Alan Cameron was at his desk at the BBC, where he was secretary to the Central Council of School Broadcasting, when he heard that the British fleet was mobilising. This meant that war with Germany was imminent and Cameron telephoned home to give his wife, the novelist Elizabeth Bowen, the news. She received it without apparent emotion and with an awkwardness of tone that made an impression on the Irish writer and occasional IRA gunman Sean O'Faolain, with whom she was in bed at the time. He made a joke about it, which she considered in poor taste and there was a subsequent cooling in their relationship. It was to be his last visit to her house and the first change of partners in a frantic dance of infidelities, ménages à trois and other more complex triangulations among writers in London that lasted like an epic 'excuse me' throughout the Second World War. Lara Feigel unravels the tangled web, concentrating on the experiences of six novelists: Bowen, Graham Greene, Henry Yorke (who wrote as Henry Green), Rose Macaulay, Rosamond Lehmann and the Austrian émigrée Hilde Spiel. The combination of danger and novelty made the times 'an absolute gift to the writer', as Yorke put it to Lehmann: 'Everything is breaking up.' Danger has always been a noted aphrodisiac, but this particular situation was new. Never before had war come so close to civilian life in London.

In 2010, a study revealed that the main agent of malaria in humans, called Plasmodium falciparum, arose from the gorilla. Today, the vector which transmitted the parasite from apes to humans has just been identified. A Franco-Gabonese research consortium has determined which species of anopheles mosquitoes transfer the disease to apes. Among them is Anopheles moucheti, known for biting humans. Therefore, it appears to be the species which originally infected us through our cousins. And it could do it again today.
