Now we're hearing from HTC directly about the Merge, saying that it will be "made available through multiple North American carriers beginning in spring 2011." Notice that Verizon Wireless isn't mentioned at all, and the Verizon logo has been removed from the front of the device in the PR image, though that still doesn't rule-out Verizon carrying it. The Press Release continues to tout it running Android 2.2 Froyo, HTC Sense user interface, has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.8" 480x800 resolution capacitive display, and a 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash and 720p video recording. Unfortunately, LTE is nowhere to be found, but it does state that the Merge will be a CDMA world phone, though it doesn't mention which GSM bands it will work with while in other countries.
At this point we can say the HTC Merge is well over-due, expectantly with the HTC Thunderbolt 4G due out in the next week or so.
Are you still interested in buying the HTC Merge? Let us know in the Comment section below.

Daniele Fiandaca: Why We Need To Disconnect In The Workplace
The Head of Innovation at Cheil London tells us why constant connectivity is turning into a malaise of digital dependency.
Having been stuck in New York courtesy of Hurricane Sandy, two of the most enduring scenes in the days that followed were the people crowding outside closed Starbucks stores, trying to get onto their wireless network, and two cyclists who were riding a tandem bike to generate electricity to charge people's phones.
It highlighted just how reliant we now are on technology and in particular on being constantly connected. This was typified by the fact that every time my friends and I went into a restaurant or a bar, the first question we asked was: 'Do you have wi-fi?' This was, of course, to allow us to share our Instagram photos – nothing particularly essential in the general scheme of things – but it did make me wonder whether the huge amount of time and energy we devote to sharing our memories makes us risk losing sight of the process of actually creating some of those memories.
This issue of constant connectivity is turning into a malaise of digital dependency. Addressing this malaise in the workplace is something I've been pondering on for a while. Is technology now making us inefficient? Is being permanently connected, and in an ongoing state of continuous partial attention, making us less effective in our work?
One of my favourite quotes from this year's SXSW was from Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post. She said: "If we learn to disconnect in order to connect with ourselves, the impact will be amazing."
That insight has triggered a set of experiments at Cheil UK, using a technology from the client we work with the most, Samsung Tectiles. Marrying the properties of Tectiles with the NFC capabilities of the Galaxy S3 has enabled us to develop two potential applications that can disconnect the team at appropriate times, with a view to measuring if disconnectivity does in fact make people more effective.
The practical incarnations of this thinking and technology are straightforward. The On/Off mat is a very simple desk mat which is being issued to everyone (other than account management, alas) to allow them to switch their phones on or off (wifi off, sound off, vibration off and brightness down) or on, simply by setting their mobiles on the mats. This is made possible using two programmable Tectiles on the back of the mat which simply 'tell' the phone what settings it should be on.
Part of the learning for us will be monitoring whether people start to recognise when someone clearly has their phone on the 'off' setting, and whether they then hesitate to disturb them. In an open plan office, the propensity to disturb at any point can be disruptive, and if this provides more thinking time it could make a really positive difference to the solutions we develop for our clients.
We've also developed meeting room tags which simply allow the team to swipe phone into silent mode as they enter a meeting room, and then turn it back to normal mode as they leave it.
We're not advocating the need to constantly be disconnected – we're in marketing after all, and connectivity is part of the DNA. But we are recognising that there are times where being disconnected is an advantage. Technology still has a lot of value but it needs to make things easier. For example, taking inspiration from our Pinterest People page, we have created a physical version with a difference. All you need to do is swipe your NFC enabled phone in front of any photo, and their contact details will be added to your address book. It might not seem much, but with 150 people now on the team, this is proving a good way to make it easier for people to get to know — and stay in contact with — their peers.
I personally think this need to disconnect will become a growing issue in the workplace. The more we become connected, the more we need to find ways to ensure our teams disconnect. While I appreciate the speedy response from some of them from their smartphones late at night, it does worry me that they are not getting enough time to disconnect and clear their minds. Conscious of this, I have promised to turn off all my devices during my pending honeymoon to really understand what it means to be totally disconnected. My wife-to-be is convinced I will not last more than a few days. From my perspective, if I can't disconnect on my honeymoon, what hope do I have the future? Wish me luck.
Daniele Fiandaca is Head of Innovation at Cheil London, co-founder of Creative Social and a Hyper Island Masterclass speaker.

Unlike metals like iron, which rusts and corrodes dramatically, chromium remains stable after oxidation and subsequent burial.
RockMelt is built on open-source code—the chromium software created by Google and used for its own Chrome browser.
The quality of the manganese ores, however, is low, and reserves of chromium are insufficient for the needs of the economy.
Well, if I don't see him, you let him know about the chromium.
Another class of European colours—the purples—came from cobalt, chromium, tin, and calcium.
chromium is a very hard metal of about the same density as iron.
Masses of chromium ore (chromite) were carried upward with the molten material.
It is the common source of nearly all the other compounds of chromium.
Oxide of chromium and chrome iron ore have been proposed as refractory crucible materials.
The chloride of chromium is again precipitated with carbonate of lime, and by ignition converted into chromate of lime.
chromium chro·mi·um (krō'mē-əm)
Symbol Cr
A lustrous hard metallic element, resistant to tarnish and corrosion and found primarily in chromite. It is used to harden steel alloys, in decorative platings, and as a pigment in glass. Atomic number 24; atomic weight 51.996; melting point 1,907°C; boiling point 2,671°C; specific gravity 7.18; valence 2, 3, 6.

text: From the Free Press: Steve Yzerman was at Joe Louis Arena for practice, and afterward headed for the Red Wings' locker room, naturally drifting toward his old locker. But there was something different about Yzerman: Where for so long he'd have been in skates and hockey gear, he wore a sleek business suit, and instead of joining practice, he watched and thought about how he'd made the right decision to retire July 3, after playing for the Wings for 22 seasons. Stevie Y seems happy with his decision. Good to see that. I hope he does well in the front office.

Hey IGNers! It's been a long time since I've been around this neck of the woods - about six months, in fact - so there's probably not a great deal of people out there who still remember who I am. There's probably even fewer who care about what my personal preferences are regarding stuff, but that's hardly going to stop me from making this revolutionary new blog series entitled "Things That I Like" now is it? I'm kicking the series off today by talking about a film that I like very much entitled "Oldboy" in the hope that it will encourage someone out there to watch it who hasn't already. Oh you lucky, lucky people.
Before watching Chan-Wook Park's Oldboy, I was somewhat of a stranger to Korean cinema. In fact, I think it's fair to say that I was a stranger to many forms of foreign film. That was all about to change for the better though after witnessing the incredible tour de force of martial arts wonderment that Chan-Wook Park emblazoned onto my corneas with such explosive expertise.
Of course, it's not really fair to call Oldboy a "martial arts" film specifically. There are plenty of awesome fight scenes thrown into the mix, but it's essentially a tale of suffering, lust, betrayal and most importantly revenge. There are things in here that will make you think about the human condition. You will think about loneliness, guilt and love, but most importantly you will feel the emotions of the characters erupting forth from the screen at you. It is powerfully evocative stuff.
When travelling back from a shopping trip one day, our protagonist Oh Dae-Su is kidnapped in the middle of a busy city street. When he wakes, he finds himself inside a cell that he cannot escape. Even though he sees peoples' feet walking up and down in a corridor outside his room, no one will communicate with him; let alone tell him why he is there.
Things stay the same for fifteen long years, until one day Oh Dae-Su is knocked unconscious, awakening in a park to find himself wearing a suit and in possession of a large sum of money. All that is left for him to do is to track down whoever put him through this hell, and to make them pay. But not before he asks them why.
This is where the film really enters into its stride, delivering a tale of violence and revenge that is one of the most unusual and unexpected I have ever seen in movie form. If you are the type of squeamish person that doesn't like watching people having their heads caved in with a hammer or a man eat a live octopus (literally), then I would suggest watching something else. Everyone else that gives this a go, however, will be in for a treat. It's good to watch foreign films for their differences in cinematography, pacing, dialogue structures and colour pallets. Oldboy has a unique style of its own when it comes to presentation and script. Just thinking about it now makes me want to expel the mediocrity of mainstream western cinema from the annals of my mind by watching it again for the ninetieth time.
There has been talk of remaking this film for western audiences with Josh Brolin playing the part of Oh Dae-Su. Even though it could well turn out to be a good film, I have to wonder why there is any need for it. Chan-Wook Park's version is already so perfect in its execution that I can't help but feel resentful towards Hollywood and their transparent lack of original ideas. Suffice to say, if they do mess this film up somehow I will have to devote myself to the pursuit of revenge just as Oh Dae-Su did. Except, my weapon of choice will most likely not be a hammer. It will be a pen.
Yes, I will write them a very angry letter. A very angry letter indeed.

This morning I was reading an exciting article about Vivek Kundra being among the remaining two choices for becoming the next Chief Technology Officer of the United States. This is a huge deal for D.C. in particular as Kundra is currently part of the mayor's cabinet and will most likely continue to help the local area. He has continuously emphasized his focus on helping local startups to win big contracts in favor of large bureaucratic contractors.
This policy and others has garnered a large amount of criticism as people suggest that this type of system cannot scale. The Obama team doesn't appear to share the critics' sentiment as he was chosen to be a technology advisor to the transition team, giving him somewhat of a leg up in the race to become the first CTO. He has a strong opponent though.
Padmasree Warrior is the current CTO of Cisco. As BusinessWeek highlights, "In 23 years at Motorola, she headed up research for its semiconductor unit and ran its energy systems group before being appointed CTO in 2003 – when she was placed in charge of a 4,600-person R&D lab. In addition to being the technology czar at Cisco, she is an articulate spokesperson for the company, often keynoting technology conferences."
It's an impressive resume and it's one that has thrusted her into the remaining two positions for the Chief Technology Officer's job. Personally, I'd love to see Vivek Kundra as the next Chief Technology Officer, not just because he represents for the District but also because he is probably one of the most forward thinking individuals in the government technology space.
Additionally, when I sat down with Vivek back in September, he stated his commitment to support the thriving startup community which has been building over the past couple years in the D.C. metro area. While Vivek has yet to be announced as the new Chief Technology Officer of the United States, I can only hope that he is chosen for the position.

MICHELE HUEY: Once I Dreamed a Dream
Special-Tea: James 2:1-13 --Do not judge according to appearance — John 7:24 (NKJV)
Susan Boyle was a 47-year-old unemployed spinster when she auditioned for "Britain's Got Talent."
On the plump side, with bushy eyebrows and wiry hair, even in her elegant gold dress, she looked frumpy.
"What's the dream?" one of the judges asked her during her pre-performance on-stage interview.
"To be a professional singer," she said.
Smirks from the audience. Even the judge rolled his eyes while one of the other judges tried not to laugh.
"And who would you like to be as successful as?" judge number one asked.
"Elaine Paige," she answered, referring to the English singer and actress.
More eye-rolling, head-shaking and groans of disapproval from the audience. When she announces that she was going to sing "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Mis←rables," the one judge couldn't hold back the laugh.
But, oh, when her voice filled the auditorium! Jaws dropped, eyebrows raised, and cheers of surprise and delight resounded. By the time she finished the second line of the song, the audience was on its feet, cheering and clapping. They remained on their feet the entire performance.
When she was done, the judge who'd laughed out loud said, "When you said you wanted to be like Elaine Paige, everyone was laughing at you. No one's laughing now."
The second judge agreed. "Everybody was against you," she said. "We were all cynical. This has to be the biggest wake-up call ever."
Seven months later Susan Boyle released her first album, which shot to the No. 1 best-selling debut album of all time in Britain — and all around the world. Today Susan Boyle is worth millions. We all love the underdog stories. How the person everyone rejected, made fun of, put down — the long shot —turned the tables by just believing in the gift God gave her to share with others. But we also are humbled by the other side of the story — the side what shows all too painfully what we humans are like: quick to judge others by their appearance.
Jesus, too, was judged. "He had no beauty of majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was not despised and rejected by men … like one from whom men hide their faces … we esteemed him not" (Isaiah 53:2, 3). Even his brothers and his hometown scoffed: "Isn't this Joseph's son? Where did He get this wisdom and miraculous powers? ... And they took offence at him" (Like 4:22; Matthew 13:53, 57). Yet someday He will judge the world as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
James warns not show favoritism in our churches. But it's all too easy to judge others. The way we judge and treat others, however, will be the way we are judged (Matthew 7:1, 2).
It would be good to remember that we can't see what God does — we look on the outward appearance, but God sees the heart of each one of us — even a frumpy spinster with an impossible dream.
Help me, Lord, not to be so judgmental of others today. Amen.

"What the Jazz were telling me is they traded with the Lakers to get me because they knew the Spurs were going to get me," Tony Bradley said of San Antonio, which held the next pick. "That shows the Jazz really wanted me."
"We had a pretty good idea that Utah was going to make something happen," Tony Bradley's agent, John Spencer, said. "We heard from other sources that San Antonio was going to be in the mix. I really though Oklahoma City was going to be the wildcard."

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
Hi, I am going to file divorce. But, my spouse is saying that she will give me hard time by calling the police and trying to get me in trouble. For example: She will call police and say, I pushed her and etc. when in reality I didn't.
What can I do? Should I goto local police and tell them that I am worried that she might do this?
mikeil:Should I goto local police and tell them that I am worried that she might do this?
Sure. But it won't do you any good.
Sorry, but it's a risk everybody takes when divorce starts.
Since it's your parents' house that you are now rented (per your other post) I suggest that perhaps you move a friend or relative into your house who can witness what happens between you and your wife whenver you are in the house together. Or hire somebody to bug the house with hidden video cameras that record every room 24/7.
Do you and she have children?
You stay the heck away from her. You can't stop her from making stuff up, but if you aren't around her you at least set yourself up to have an alibi. If she says you attacked her at 11:40pm on Friday but you were hanging out with 27 of your buddies, then you have a potential defense.
I'd be trying to record her making these statements. Many/most cell phones can record conversations also. Even in a two-party consent state for recording a conversation there is normally an exception for recording criminal activity, and she is evidencing an intent to commit crimes by making false reports to law enforcement.
In some circles it seem to be that women can get protection orders all too easily by expanded/false stories of abuse so exercise caution not to get into circumstances where she can easily make up stories.
I'm not up on recording laws and I'll take above poster at face vaue that to record intention to commit a crime is an excpetion to a requirement for permission/notice --and were it me I'd make the recordings and zip my lips--just in case.
I would not stay living in the same house with her.
Also, it would probably be a good idea to be able to always be able to prove where you were and what you were doing.
At one point, I showed used plane tickets and receipts to prove I was 1000 miles away when my ex wife was claiming I was somehow bothering her by driving by her house, etc. I was actually called on my cell phone, while 1000 miles away, by the police, demanding I open my apartment door. Kind of difficult to do that from numerous states away.
Well I think you want to be careful about moving out (discuss options with counsel carefully) unless your wife is signed on the lease as a tenat and has a duty to pay rents---if youmove out your wife may be able is a sense to stiff the LL's (your parents) for rent and live there free to the duration of a long fight.
How long ago was your interest in the home deeded back to your parents? Was it well before any active discussin of a divorce was underway.
It might be smart for the LL to serve eviction notices and/or nonrenewal on all tenant in this home if there is a solid basis to do so and have parents start with a clean safer slate --but do NOT conspire with LL to do so.

I don't know why but the other day I was thinking about the Dr. Seuss classic, "Green Eggs and Ham." In the story, green eggs and ham were offered in all sorts of places but were adamantly declined. "I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am."
Which reminded me of the way Sun is talking these days about some of the great benchmarks. One old, one new, but still the same story.
Sun says - I do not like TPC-C, so I'm not going to play. (And by the way, I don't play in the new TPC-E either.) I do not like the new SPECpower_ssj2008, so I'm not going to play in that one either. Hmmm - what other industry standard benchmark consortia are left to insult ?
Maybe someday we will hear "I do so like green eggs and ham . . ."

Israel knew the whereabouts of Hamas terror chief Muhammad Deif last weekend, but waited to target his hideout until Hamas breached a temporary truce on Tuesday, local media reported.
According to a report Sunday on Israel's Channel 10, Jerusalem received intelligence last weekend that the Hamas military wing head had emerged from his bunker during what was then a five-day truce to visit his wife and children. The government had solid evidence that Deif was in a building in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, it reported, and debated whether to launch an attack.
Israel ultimately decided to withhold a strike, assuming Hamas would breach the truce, as it had breached several previous truces. It targeted the building last Tuesday night, hours after Hamas resumed rocket fire at Israel.
It is still not clear if Deif survived the strike, which killed at least five people, including his wife and two children. Hamas claims he is alive, but has yet to give any proof of life. Israeli officials have said there was firm intelligence that Deif was there.
Deif has been wanted by Israel since the early 1990s, for orchestrating terror attacks said to have killed hundreds of Israelis. Many Israeli officials believe he has been coordinating the current Hamas-Israel conflict as head of the Hamas military wing. Three other senior members of the military wing's command hierarchy were killed in an Israeli strike a day after the attack on Deif's hideout.
Several government sources castigated the decision to wait on striking Deif, saying that he may have been able to switch his location in the interim and that Israeli forces should have targeted him immediately, according to Channel 10.
Other political officials dismissed the criticism, arguing that Israel "is not allowed to do things the other side is permitted to do," namely break truces.
"Who would have believed us and our conclusions if we violated the truce?" one unnamed official was quoted as saying.
Last week, Lebanese media reported that a telephone call from Hamas political leader Khaled Mashaal may have enabled Israeli intelligence to pinpoint Deif, who has been in hiding for years in Gaza. There was no confirmation of the report.
According to Palestinian sources cited in the report, Mashaal, who is based in Qatar, was being pressured to agree to an Egyptian ceasefire proposal but wished to consult directly with Deif, and did so contrary to established Hamas secrecy protocols.
Israel was said to have dropped several bunker-buster bombs on the Gaza building last Tuesday in the attack.
Deif survived at least four previous assassination attempts since 2002.
Lazar Berman and Stuart Winer contributed to this report.

Austin Drenched, Flood Watch In Place for Metro San Antonio
A flash flood watch is in place for San Antonio and all areas to the north and west through early Monday, after Travis County got drenched with as much as a foot of rain early Sunday, 1200 WOAI news reports.
The National Weather Service says several roads in and around Austin are flooded after the Barton Creek area of Austin received 11 inches of rain early today. Austin Fire Department crews have reported numerous high water rescues in the city.
"Although the intense rain has ended across the Austin areas as of 8AM this morning, more locally heavy rain is possible in the Austin area later today which could make the flooding issue even more dangerous," Paul Yura of the New Braunfels office of the National Weather Service said.
An Additional 2-4 inches of rain over the Hill Country, Travis County and into the San Antonio area are possible Sunday and into Sunday night and early Monday.
The heavy rains are expected to taper off on Monday, but another frontal system will hit the area on Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving to much cooler temperatures and a new threat of flooding conditions.
The NWS suggests you stay tuned to 1200 WOAI, your designated official weather station, and WOAI.com for additional updated weather information.
Currently there are no flooding events taking place in metro San Antonio and no significant road closings due to flooding are reported.

I have been doing fine art and graphic design since 1965. (printer by trade). Now I am starting on projects learning how to use Lightwave. I will upload works when I get a bit better, I am still a novice at the 3D stuff. I own a business and want to open an animation studio as soon as I learn what I need to learn. Love this forum and thanks for your patience with any stupid questions that I might ask.BIOI would say that I am most likely the oldest person in this forum, or close to it.
I grew up in New York and graduated HS in 1964. I was around for Elvis, the Beatles, Joplin and Woodstock! I saw the whole design trade go from table to tape punch computer systems to desktops through the years in my trade as a printer. (I am a certified Master Craftsman Prepress/design Printer #55412, PIA, MCPA.) Glad to answer any questions about color correction for press.
I learn so much from the wonderful young people at this site and hope to grow with my 3D designs and more as I learn Lightwave.
I live on my sailboat and cruise (16 years).
I have settled in Key West, FL, but will continue points south again. I have a good 30 or so years left and I plan to do everything that I can. I love computers (all technology), sailing and having fun. In fact I manage a Nashville recording star and will be touring with him in the upcoming year. (All the while learning my Lightwave!)
Thanks for your visit...come to the islands and we will have a beer! Captjo

Thue number
In the mathematical area of graph theory, the Thue number of a graph is a variation of the chromatic index, defined by Alon et al. (2002) and named after mathematician Axel Thue, who studied the squarefree words used to define this number.
Alon et al. define a nonrepetitive coloring of a graph to be an assignment of colors to the edges of the graph, such that there does not exist any even-length simple path in the graph in which the colors of the edges in the first half of the path form the same sequence as the colors of the edges in the second half of the path. The Thue number of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed in any nonrepetitive coloring.
Variations on this concept involving vertex colorings or more general walks on a graph have been studied by several authors including Barát and Varjú, Barát and Wood (2005), Brešar and Klavžar (2004), and Kündgen and Pelsmajer.
Consider a pentagon, that is, a cycle of five vertices. If we color the edges with two colors, some two adjacent edges will have the same color x; the path formed by those two edges will have the repetitive color sequence xx. If we color the edges with three colors, one of the three colors will be used only once; the path of four edges formed by the other two colors will either have two consecutive edges or will form the repetitive color sequence xyxy. However, with four colors it is not difficult to avoid all repetitions. Therefore, the Thue number of C5 is four.
Alon et al. use the Lovász local lemma to prove that the Thue number of any graph is at most quadratic in its maximum degree; they provide an example showing that for some graphs this quadratic dependence is necessary. In addition they show that the Thue number of a path of four or more vertices is exactly three, and that the Thue number of any cycle is at most four, and that the Thue number of the Petersen graph is exactly five.
The known cycles with Thue number four are C5, C7, C9, C10, C14, and C17. Alon et al. conjecture that the Thue number of any larger cycle is three; they verified computationally that the cycles listed above are the only ones of length ≤ 2001 with Thue number four. Currie resolved this in a 2002 paper, showing that all cycles with 18 or more vertices have Thue number 3.
Computational complexity[edit]
Testing whether a coloring has a repetitive path is in NP, so testing whether a coloring is nonrepetitive is in co-NP, and Manin showed that it is co-NP-complete. The problem of finding such a coloring belongs to in the polynomial hierarchy, and again Manin showed that it is complete for this level.

Has anyone wanted to buy your ride?
Got a phone call the other day some guy,don't know who he is or anything about wanted to buy my coupe. First didn't understand what he was saying,but he was almost insisting on buying it.I said no it's not for sale, he says we'll I hear your building another streetrod I figured you would want to sell.I said no I'm having to much fun with it,it's not for sale,he says if you want the motor out of it thats ok he'd take just the body, again no it's not for sale,after about 5-10 minutes he said his name and number be sure let him have first chance at it,ok what ever, no its not for sale,maybe I should have said some ridiculous price and seen if he had it,oh well it's not for sale
That is crazy! I cant stand it when people cant take no for an answer, they gotta keep houndin ya about it. Im glad you finally got away from him!
Back in the early 90s I was on my way home from work and I was dropping a buddy off at his house when I had some guy and his woman (wife or girlfriend, I dont know) following me. When I got to his road, he told me they were definitely following us because he was the only house on that road and it was a dead end. I pull over and get out of the car. This dude gets out of his car and ask if I would trade them my 70 Buick for their 69 Olds. First he asked if I would sell it. I said no. Then he wanted to trade his car for mine. I was getting ready to put the big block chevy in it and had just finished the interior, body work was all done and the car was all in gray primer. I said no, I dig the cutlass, but I am not getting rid of my car. It is not for sale or trade. Of course he had to bug me for a while about it, but eventually he got the hint. He too, gave me his number and asked me to call him if I change my mind. (What part of no dont these people understand!?)
The cutlass wasnt all that bad, but he was one of those shady lookin characters, and to seal the deal, the cutlass had a bumper sticker on it a big orange one that said We stop at all big lots! WTF!?!?!? I mean who puts this bumper sticker on their car, let alone, a 69 olds??? The car didnt look all that bad, a little rust here or there, nothing worse than what I had started with. But the shadyness of the guy + the big lots bumper sticker made me wanna run fast and far! Did I mention the mullet? Hehehe I guess we could let him slide on that one it was the 90s.
Rock on
P.S. There are some pictures of my buick in my photo album. There are a couple of pics what it looked like back then. I just added 2 more recent pictures from Nov '03 as it sits now.

Same thing here,Only I wasnt followed or called,they just showed up outta nowhare,askin me if my truck was for sale while i was workin on it. I said no,its not. Then he said," when do you plan on selling it?" I almost said,"when i fell damn good and ready to." but I told him i dont know. And told me whare he lived at like i could careless,And I told him,when I do sell it,it wont be under $7,000 ( I know thats way too much but i didnt care.) And he said ok,come by when your ready. Im like,i wont. It's my only truck,my baby,i aint sellin it nooooo time soon.
Generally, people that bug you about selling are full of it. They just want to talk, they have no money and just want to try to impress you by making you think that they are loaded.
I would be learey of a "scam" in these cases also.
I actually had a guy come up to me at the NSRA Nats in Louisville about 5 years ago, the very first time I took my pro-street 41 Chevy anywhere, and offer me a respectable pile of cash for the car. I didn't sell for two reasons. First, I had just finished the car and hadn't had time to enjoy it much and second, the guy was about 70 years old and he would have killed himself in that thing. H ell, it scared the bejesus out of me.
This is the second time this has happened,the first time was something like Centerlines just got the coupe done a guy that bought my first one seen it want'ed to buy it I know he had the money bought I told him it would take another 10g to buy it he was half pissed off about it,also I agree with Pouncho could be a skam, I guess if we all have something someone wants to buy we're doing something right
I have 2 Mustangs in the driveway and someone is constantly asking if I want to sell 1. If I had 2 Hondas out there would they be banging on my door? Magazines like Hotrod seem to promote this behavior but some people take it to the level of stalking.
Happens often and I have been guilty of trying to buy a specific vehicle over the years so have to keep things in prospective. I pestered the previous owner of my 36 5 WC for years before he decided to sell it. When I first finished my pickup back in 1981, I was transferred to Austin, Tx and was covered up with wealthy Longhorn grads wanting my truck because I unwittingly chose the light beige and burnt orange color scheme. One very forceful guy rubbed me the wrong way when he said "Every thing has a price" and I responded with a ridiculous price of $50,0000. My heart dropped to my crotch when he stopped talking, thinking he was going to drop the hammer. After a long pause, he said "You really don't want to sell it, do you.?". Right then and there, I learned to never put a price on something I did not want to sell; even a ridiculous price. After the rebuild on the truck, the pressure has resumed and I tried a different approach to another serious attempt by replying it would take 6 figures to get it. I could see the gears turning in his head when he said "You mean $100,000?" and my response was "You did not listen, I said six figures and that could be one penny below a million bucks". End of discussion.
I have had two notes suck under the wipers on my Nova with offers and phone numbers. I threw those away. I had one guy at a gas station ask me what I wanted for it. I just told him he didn't have enough money to buy my heart and soul.
Yes, two black guys stopped in the street in this new Lincoln when I was putting my coat in the trunk of the Caprice that I had parked at the curb outside a relatives house, in a town just outside of Philly. I was thinking wtf are these guys doing, they both got out of there car and the driver says "Yo, dis yo car?" I said yea it's mine. The driver says "Dat's phat yo", Me "yea", The driver "Yo man, dat car is my culla, dat's Eagles (Phillys football team) green yo!." I'm staring at the guy now and he says "how much do you want foe it" I said it's not for sale. He says "I want dis car, name yo price" Me- Sorry dude I'm not selling it. We went back and forth about how he wants to buy and I'm not selling it. The guy finally says "aight" and him and his homie left. I figured they would come back and steal it so I kept checking on it every 1/2 hour.
I've had a few people ask if I want to sell my car, usually a 'it's not for sale' works.
What really irks me are the bozos that ask "What year is it?" That happens alot. The worst incident was on the DC Beltway, where the traffic was moving along at 40mph by the 495/270spur split on the outer loop. Some idiot on my right side was frantically waving and I figured there must be something serious going on - he and his girl were signalling to roll my window down. So, I reached over and rolled the window down and they said "What year is it?"...
-I'm thinking of making a little sign or bumper sticker that says:
"Itza 66!"
Most people who stop to look at a car
Thats not for sale to begin with don't have any idea what they are looking at or what its worth. I have a 64 Chevelle, a 69 Lemans and my 53 Chevy all parked in the driveway. People stop at least once a day asking about one of these cars. When I put the Lemans up for sale they want to drive it, I say no and they don't inderstand why. I say, you put a deposit down on the car and I'll take you for a ride. Any more I just don't expect any one the Looky Loo's to buy so I don't pay them any attention and keep doing what I'm doing and they leave.
Rat Rods Rule!
I had that happen several times with my Blazer and my husbands Camaro. The only time I knew the guy was serious was when he set down a wad of cash on the counter of my work, all I know it was the most cash I have ever seen first hand that could have been mine and the top bill was a $100. I've had people want to trade me motorcycles and cars but I am firm and say no not for sale and not finished. Amazes me someone would want to buy something that wasn't openly for sale, I usually just drool over other cars and comment on how gorgeous their ride is
If I see an old car I like (if it's rusty and sitting in the back or I check to make sure it has no liscence plate so I know it's not being driven) I go and knock on the door.
If they tell me it's not for sale I take off and won't bother them again. Sometimes they even leave a phone number in case I wanna check back after some time.
I don't only do this with cars, but with everyting. I've gotten quite an assortment of free bikes, bike parts and srap metal this way.
If they tell they don't wanna sell it or give it away I won't ever bother them again.
How much is that doggie in the window?
I had one guy ask me if my car was for sale. I said sure. $50,000 ought to cover it, since the interior is not finished. He went away. Since we all have an idea what our rides are worth, just double or triple it when some knuckle head asks. They'll go away.

custom airbox/heat shield for 2012 steeda SRI
I am planning on trying to build a custom airbox/ heat shield for the Steeda Short Ram intake for the 2012. It is somewhat similar to their cold air intake but uses all of the stock inlets and allows for a cold air pipe from the front bumper area, similar to the mod that newmission did. I am looking for some feedback and see if there are any flaws in my design. The airbox will be built from 1/8th inch aluminum sheet bent into the proper shape.
Front panel mod:
Taking what newmission did with drilling holes in the front plastic triangle and making full slots across with the exception of where the punchouts are. I will then hot glue a piece of screen door screen to the backside, this will help keeps bugs and rocks from getting sucked up.
I will hot glue a funnel that is cut to the right size to the first piece of intake pipe and wrap the edge with duct tape so that no air can escape out and to protect the glue from weather. The first piece of pipe will a 45 degree mandrel bent pipe 2.5" inside diameter, and will be hose clamped to a 1 foot long straight pipe and will run into the airbox.
The airbox will be four sided liked the CAI that Steeda has, and have a 2 sided cover. The estimated dimensions are six inches wide, six inches long and 7 inches tall. The bottom piece will be an extra half inch long on the open right side to make the connection piece to the chassis shorter. That piece will screw in below the grounding wire, in the same spot that the steeda design uses.
The bottom side will have a hole for the 2.5" pipe along the top edge so that the pipe can be anchored in the box with a hose clamp that is screwed into the box. It will also have a screw hole to screw the stock steeda SRI mount to.
The front side will have a hole for the modified second stock inlet and will have a bracket that runs to the chassis to attach below that hose.
The left side will have a hole on the bottom edge for the primary stock intake with the hole for the velocity stack right above it, this is basically the same design that steeda uses and the velocity stack will be screwed into the aluminum like the steeda design. Next to that hole will be another bracket like the steeda has for a 3rd mount point to the chassis.
Stock air inlet mod:
The stock air inlets have two inlet hoses. The first one will be the same as the steeda design. The second inlet the steeda design just plugs it, probably due to the odd shape, the hole on the chassis side is round and I will take some hose and screw it into the housing to allow a round shape into the airbox. This should allow for three separate inlets to the airbox and higher and colder airflow.
The top cover:
The top cover will be an L shape piece of aluminum that will use two screws on the left side to hold it in place. The top will be covered with some foam that will prevent rubbing against the hood.
Parts list:
24X24 1/8 inch thick aluminum(airbox)
12X24 1/8 inch thick aluminum(cover)
1 foot 45 degree aluminum pipe 2.5" inner diameter
1 foot straight aluminum pipe 2.5" inner diameter
1 pipe connector
Screen door mesh
2 inch inner diameter hose for 2nd inlet
Three metal brackets
12 8mm screws and bolts
Steeda short ram intake
Foam padding

I don't have any new suggestions, but I do concur with the ones given. Document the situation, keep your awareness up. If you see anything call the police and if anyone comes to you with anything I would make this recommendation to them too. You might even consider being proactive and discretely telling people that if they witness anything like this to do the same. There would be risk in that word would undoubtedly get back to this fool who may retaliate against you.
Well the guy is definitely stupid. That much is obvious. Leave it to a few rotten apples to spoil the whole crop.
I was going to suggest just being straight-forward with the boss about your carry preference and use the example of exactly how you, personally, would never handle a firearm. But then after what already happened he's probably even more turned off by the idea of guns in his shop, even if he hasn't reprimanded the bonehead. I suppose its worth a shot. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
This guy pulled out a gun and pointed it at somebody. This guy also thinks this is acceptable behavior. Notify the legal authorities and let them investigate the incident. Perhaps they will prosecute this idiot and you won't have to worry about getting shot at work.
This kind of inaction in the face of a dangerous or hostile act on the job, witnessed, reported and documented by other employees can and will come back to bite a supervisor on the arse. Two people in this case need to join the unemployed.Quote:
Here we are about a week later and nothing has happened. Senior employee still works at the company and my supervisor pretty much pretends like nothing happened.
Whether or not the OP opts to move this up the food chain he does need to maintain documentation of his reporting of this incident.
anyone else thinking if the guy was to get fired over it he might just "go postal" and come shoot the place up?
Around here that stunt is called aggravated assault and can/would land you in jail. These are the idiots that make carrying an issue for the rest of us.
yeah, if they prosecuted this, it could be a whole host of charges. some of them felonies, which would lose him his 2a. and it probably should. anyone who points a gun at someone "as a joke" should not have a gun.
problem is, after plea bargaining he would probably get off with a misdemeanor. he would then still have guns, and if he is unstable, still have the tools to do something really bad.
i cannot belueve any employer would let an employee point a firearm at another employee, and not get some sort of punishment.
at the very least, he should have been suspended for a week......or at most fired and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
I think you did the right thing, and it sucks that your bosses are doing the WRONG thing.
Work place violence is not something the police take lightly. You can still report the incident and detectives will contact the particulars (that is what they are for). You supervisor could also be in legal trouble by allowing such activity to continue. If this is not nipped right now some time in the future the police may be responding to an active shooter call. Which would you feel more comfortable with reporting the incident now before it gets worse or later after someone has been hurt or killed? If company officials won't do anything about a hostile work environment then there is little choice.
I would make sure that the upper management has seen the New Guys complaint. He asked you for help. Mail a copy of his complaint and your actions to highest company officer, and make a copy for your self. Guys that shoot up there work places don't just do it out of the blue. They start with threatening "Jokes", Making machine gun noises as people pass, and making out and out threats.Then it escalates! This guys already half way there.
I worked with an electrician that was constantly making inappropriate jokes, waving his newest pistol around, and just being an ass. One Fri another electrician complained about him to the bosses. They said they would sit him down on Monday. I don't think they really took it seriously But on Monday we found out he was already in jail for shooting up a neighbors house over his teen daughter using his phone. This could have just as easily happened at work!
Don't wait you will never really know what could happen. DR
As we learned in the military; DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT!!!!! Personally, I would write everything down as it happened,dated, and including a copy of Junior's letter, and file it away in a safe place. This all just in case Senior Idiot decides to repeat the offense, or even worse. With your documentation, personally I feel this would be justification to get his arse booted, if not jailed.


text: Piper Laurie has a book coming out on November 1st and The Enquirer got an advance copy. In the book, Piper claims that she lost her virginity at 16 years old and lost it to Ronald Reagan who was 41 at the time and playing her father in a movie. That last part is kind of creepy. Well, so is a 41 year old guy having sex with a 16 year old, especially since his daughter was not that far away in age at the time. Piper had been warned about staying away from Reagan and not going in his dressing room but when he asked her to dinner she said yes. Of course it was at his place because, come on she was 16 and he was 41. Although, I guess that is better than the 51-16 ration of Courtney Stoddard and her husband.

Fame, Franzen and Pfaff. Paul Kalkbrenner has plenty to say on each, as RA's Todd L. Burns found out late last year in discussion with the Berlin producer.
Dance music is more popular than ever in the United States. But for organizers of large-scale festivals within the country, it's harder than ever to convince local governments that the events are anything more than lawless raves.
Oakland's Armon Bazile has built an under-the-radar label featuring largely his own productions that has released some the deepest music of the past decade. RA's Todd L. Burns dives in.
The Italian-born producer had a breakthrough year in 2010, but he's not done yet. RA's Grego O'Halloran talks DC-10, Bruce Lee and more with Davide Squillace.
The outspoken DJ/producer is turning his back on the industry. But that doesn't mean he's giving up music. RA's Will Lynch talks love and evolution with Jay Haze.

El Cajon Mayor Resigns
Longtime El Cajon Mayor Mark Lewis resigned following accusations that he made prejudicial comments about the East County city's large Chaldean community. He was blistered by attacks during the public comment time at Tuesday's El Cajon City Council meeting as Chaldean leaders and others criticized him for his remarks.
In his letter to the U-T San Diego, Lewis, who has been mayor since 1998, says he resigned for "health reason".pointing to a minor stroke in 2010, cancer and a dislocated shoulder. It was unclear when the resignation would take effect.
Another letter from the mayor was posted on El Cajon's website earlier Thursday. In it, Lewis made no mention of resigning but he did apologize to anyone he offended and said he did not intend his remarks to be insensitive.
He said he had intended to step down when his current mayoral term ended in 2014. His statement did not indicate when his resignation would become effective.
In an interview with Progressive magazine earlier this year, Lewis was quoted as saying some Chaldean schoolchildren who receive free lunches are "being picked up by Mercedes Benzes" and that once they come here, "it doesn't take them too long to learn where all the freebies are at."
Lewis issued a written apology after dozens of El Cajon residents showed up to a City Council meeting Tuesday night demanding that he apologize.
Read Lewis' apology: http://bit.ly/1aeEsmI
Earlier in the week, Lewis was still defending his actions.
"I'm sorry if they're offended, but we have over 100,000 people so you're bound, no matter what you do, you say red is red, somebody's bound to be offended," Lewis said.

Plum grad Pietropola overcomes challenges to lap the competition
Penn State Behrend freshman swimmer Mia Pietropola is easy to spot at the beginning of a race with her head cocked to the side while her opponents are looking down towards the water.
She's easy to spot at the end of a race too, since she's usually the one that finished first.
Pietropola is deaf and is assisted with visual cues by a referee standing to her left and a strobe light that goes off when a race begins. Once in the water, no further assistance is needed.
"I never really thought my hearing loss caused any issues for me when competing," Pietropola, a Plum graduate, said via e-mail. "I just have the disadvantage of not hearing the start at the beginning of each race but I learned to push through and not let it slow me down."
It certainly has not, considering she became a school record holder just a few meets into her collegiate career when she clocked a 2:31.28 breast stroke. That broke the previous record of 2:32.14 held by Julie Cook since 2012.
"When I saw the time I needed to beat the record, I was excited because I knew I had a chance," Pietropola said. "When I finally got it, I was happy that my hard work had paid off. I learned that the effort that I put toward that goal was worth it. I was determined to get that record sometime this year."
Pietropola is already third on the school's all-time list in the 100 breast stroke with a time of 1:10.32. She also swims the 200 intermediate medley and rotates throughout the relay teams.
Pietropola picks up sound through a Cochlear implant. The implant is embedded under the skin and is waterproof but the transmitter (attached magnetically from the outside of the skull) and headset containing a speech processor and a microphone (hooked behind the ear like a traditional hearing aid) must be removed. After taking the referee's visual cues, Pietropola snaps her head towards the water and dives in.
"She loses some of the ability to push off at the start," Lions head coach Jennifer Wallace said, "but she makes up for it with a good kick off the walls. She's pretty much got it down to a science."
Because the aquatic centers where meets are held tend to get loud, Wallace uses hand signals when coaching her swimmers. She also writes out practice schedules and notes, so Wallace and Pietropola, who can also read lips, communicate just fine.
One of the attributes that makes Pietropola a special individual, Wallace said, is her sense of humor and ability to take everything in stride. Pietroploa has proven to be a funny and outgoing teammate.
"Often times, when I am lip reading and repeat what I thought the person said, it's the complete opposite and creates laughter because it's funny," Pietropola said. "Also, my swim friends sometimes ask me what set we are doing and I reply to them, 'You are asking a deaf person!' which also causes laughter. I have a positive attitude and believe that no disability should stop anyone from achieving their dreams."

03. 07. 2008 - The Czech Airlines Sales Premises Receive a Design Award
Prague, 3 July 2008
The interior of the Czech Airlines sales outlet in the Centre of Prague won a design prize for 2007. An expert jury awarded it a prize for its graphic design, holding in especially high esteem the large light panel located in Czech Airlines' largest sales premises. The award-winning project was created for Czech Airlines by Story Design.
The light panel as well as the shop interior and room design boast Czech Airlines corporate colours – white with red and grey accents. It also suits the modern look of the shop, which underwent a successful renovation exactly a year ago. The overall design is inspired by flying – e.g., desks and light fixtures are in the shape of a wing. The entire space is very airy and supplemented with dynamic graphics. Czech Airlines is gradually adapting all of its sales outlets, aircraft, websites, printed materials, etc., in the new corporate colours.
The ground floor of the largest Czech Airlines sales outlet in the centre of Prague boasts six counters for standard customers and on the top level are 13 counters for Gold, Silver, and Platinum Card holders in the Czech Airlines frequent flyer programme OK Plus, and for travel agencies and corporate clients.
Aside from the largest sales outlet on V Celnici Street, Czech Airlines operates another four of its own outlets in the Czech Republic – at Prague Ruzyně Airport, and in Brno, Karlovy Vary, and Ostrava.
The Rainbow Ray Prize
The Rainbow Ray Prizes have been awarded since 2004 by the Association of Sign-making Suppliers and Sign magazine, as a part of the Advertising – Printing Fair. Czech Airlines won the award for the best sign-making project realised in 2007. Entries are professionally evaluated by a 15-member jury of the Association of Sign-making Suppliers; this year's jury included major marketing figures such as Jitka Vysekalová and Jiří Mikeš.

First, let's talk packing philosophy. Most of our customers are on the water for right around 24 hours (an overnight trip), there are a lot of things you can live without for 24 hours. Your objective when planning your trip should be how little can you bring and still be comfortable. Your goal should not be to see what the limits of the amount of gear you can bring with you and fit in the canoe. Visit our Video Library and see the video we've put together on packing as well as our suggested packing list.
Finally, since we're on the topic of "Packing Best Practices" we HIGHLY recommend renting one of our huge dry bags to keep your clothes/sleeping bag/pillow dry!
Pack Right, Pack Light!

Old T8 hood converted to 4xCFL
So I decided I wanted more light. I had a 2xT5NO and the original single T8. I was debating running both, when I decided that I might as well just make the leap.
I took my old T8 hood (it helps if you have a beautiful assistant)
I took everything apart (one of the fun parts)
I removed the existing reflector:
And hammed it out, then rebent it to fit the shape of the hood after the old ballast, starter, etc were removed (you can see the scraps of metal where I cut it as it was too long after reshaping):
I went to Lowes and bought 4 generic light fixtures (Servalite H#884413 $3 each), a bag of wire nuts ($2) and a pack of bolts($2)/nuts($1)/washers($2) that fit the mounting hole in the socket. I drilled 4 holes where I wanted the lights to be (spacing them out roughly even) and started wiring the socket in:
I kept all the wiring under the reflector, and after putting it back in the hood roughly to make sure it fit:
Then tightened everything down and installed my bulbs.
I ended up with 4x 14w @ 5000k, I may look around for some other bulb options but the research done seems to indicate the color rating on the CFL's isn't as important.
I took some before and after shots of the tank itself, but the lighting difference in the room and the dust leftover from the Flourite sand attributes to some of the color differences that you see in the picture.
Having caught the DIY bug, I believe I need a pressurized CO2 system next, and I might modify my light in the future to have a lunar light like I saw some people using.
I did the same with my fixture, I did 3x13w 6500K over a 20gal. Amazing plant growth after that.
For reference, under the T8, I had 1 val, about 3" long. It never died but never grew for over a year, just stayed at about 3". Switched my light and now about 8 months later.
It seems one of the CFL's was defective, as the bulb was cracked this morning. I returned the pack of 4, and I'm now running 4x 13w 6700k (which they didn't have yesterday when I looked for ~6500k)
So I'm happy it broke I guess :)
So you have 4 cfl and 2 t5no?
No, sorry I removed the 2x T5NO.
This is roughly based on hoppy's work here:
and some napkin math based comparisons of the chart below, I suspect I am over 100 PAR with my CFL setup
*edit to add*
When looking at this chart note that these bulbs were mounted vertically - not horizontally as I did. This has been shown to be more efficient (vertically)
Take a look here:
I need to hookup with a local aquatic club with a PAR meter and really get some numbers.
Wow I'm gonna give that a shot
For anyone who tries this, please note that some CFL's are larger then others. If you are retrofitting a T8 (or possibly other sized hoods) you need to make sure the bulb fits inside the hood. There were several different options of bulbs that fit, but some of them were much larger then others - especially if you were looking at the higher wattage bulbs.
I used the "micro mini Sylvania 6700k 13w = 60w bulbs" in the end. (Lowes had them, I'm just linking the amazon to show them)
