Portable solar
Does anybody have any experience with any of the portable solar chargers? I'd like to be able to charge things like cell phone, tablet computer, digital camera, etc.
Most of the ones I've looked at online seem like you'd have to leave your phone off and plugged in for 2-3 days to get it fully charged, which isn't really useful.
Why not just get a small inverter?
12 volt battery and a 100 w inverter should power that type of items
n0, a small solar charger is still just a SMALL CHARGER and that's going to take forever to charge larger things.
If you have a phone, you buy a spare battery or two to take with you. Swap 'em when you need to. If you're cursed with an iPhone, you buy an external battery, recharge it, it plugs in to rejuice the phone. (Works for other phones, too.)
But solar chargers? Buy the biggest, least convenient, most expensive panels you can get, and things will charge faster. That's just the way it is for now.
Get yourself one of these bad boys.
PowerTrekk: ROFLMAO!
A $200 gizmo that requires cartridge$ and still only produces the same amount of power that is stored in a cellphone (external) battery. Which costs $25 on the street and can be recharged 500 times.
Thanks, I'll buy eight batteries for the same $200 and get eight times the recharging for the buck. I know, I'll have to find power someplace after that, but you'll have to find new cartridges and I'll bet those won't be at the local bait shop, either.
A DC to AC inverter, something about 100-watts, will do everything you want, plus run a 20-inch flat-screen TV at the same time. The drain to your house batteries will be approximately 1.2 amps per hour if the inverter is loaded to maximum.
Gary :cool:
FYI most devices that charge via USB cable charge at 5 watts (5V @ 1A). The exception is the Ipad that charges at 10 watts (5v @ 2A).
Converting DC to AC to DC is very inefficient and unnecessary in most cases. Just use a cigarette lighter adapter. There is no need to use an inverter for the devices that you have listed.

Municipal politicians should seek advice instead of deciding on their own what constitutes a conflict of interest, mayoral candidate John Tory said responding to questions about possible conflicts surrounding Mayor Rob Ford's business clients.
"Regardless of what the law required, it would be wise for any elected official or public servant who's involved in business in any way to just disclose that and maybe to seek advice and say 'Look, I'm not going to be the decider,'" Mr. Tory said, who himself has business connections as a former Rogers executive.
A Globe and Mail investigation revealed instances where Mr. Ford fought for and against policies that would affect some of his clients at the Ford family firm Deco Labels and Tags, including Nestlé Canada and Porter Airlines. He also backed the appointment to the Toronto Parking Authority board of the owner of an architectural firm that has contracted Deco for some of its printing needs.
Mayor Ford denied any conflict Thursday, saying "I'm not part of the day-to-day operations at Deco. I don't know how many times I have to say this. I'm a principal owner at Deco, and that's all I have to say."
When asked whether he knew that Nestlé and Porter were Deco clients, he said: "We have thousands and thousands and thousands of customers.
"In 52 years of business – almost every company I know uses labels – and I'm sure we have dealt with almost every company. I don't know, but it's a very, very large business."
Former MP Olivia Chow, also running for mayor, said the province must expand the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act to clarify and broaden the definition of a conflict. At the federal level, she was required by the Conflict of Interest Act to disclose any assets and external activities and recuse herself from decisions where there was a conflict.
"It seems to me that the municipal conflict of interest rules are a bit vague," Ms. Chow said.
A 2011 inquiry into Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion's support for a development company partly owned by her son led Justice Douglas Cunningham to recommend Ontario expand the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act's narrow definition of a conflict and include a wider range of sanctions.
Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Ted McMeekin said in a statement the ministry is currently reviewing the Act.
"Each of Ontario's 444 municipalities is unique and it's important that we engage with municipalities of all sizes to understand the full impact of any possible changes to the Act," Mr. McMeekin said. "This process takes time."
Councillor Janet Davis said Mr. Ford's dismissal of a possible conflict isn't valid.
"On one hand, he says he's got experience running a multimillion dollar business and on the other hand he says he doesn't have clue what goes on in a day-to-day basis," she said.

text: I did a search but it looks like some people are still not sure of the torque specs and what is involved in the install. I have a few questions... First, what exactly is involved to remove/lower the cradle? Does the exhaust have to be dropped? I don't remember what it looks like back there. Second, what should I torque the bolts to? The FAQ's says to torque them to 90 ft. lbs. while others have posted 130, or 140 ft. lbs. :hmm: Thanks in advance. Any other helpful hints/tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Roughly speaking, "==" only compares things that are comparable.
In cases like these, use "===" which demands "sameness" on both sides.

You know you were meant for more than working on someone else's goals.
And you want to do something that matters and live a life of freedom that you can be proud to talk about.
But two critical things are stopping you:
I spent years trying to figure out how to become my own boss and make a living doing what I cared about. I tested everything and I went down the wrong path many times, only having to backtrack in frustration.
I know what doesn't work and what does. And I've helped hundreds of successful entrepreneurs reclaim their freedom and say goodbye to taking orders from someone else.
Now I want to share everything with you.
Staying focused is hard. But keeping momentum and doing the right things day after day is nearly impossible… unless you have a dangerously effective plan.
With the 365 Days to Freedom Missions, the goal is simple: Every single day, you get an easy to accomplish mission sent to your inbox. You complete the mission, you get results, and every day moves you one step closer to freedom.
Will it take work? Yes. Will it make you uncomfortable? Probably. But will it remove all of the guesswork and sporadic false starts? Absolutely.
The path is clearly laid out. All that's left is for you to add action.
What you'll get:
Start your escape on a budget for: $57
What you'll get:
Make quitting certain for: $157
What you'll get:
Become a professional escape artist for: $297
This journey isn't for the timid, but if you've got the guts we'll back it up. If you join the Job Escape Kit and it doesn't absolutely work for you, let us know within four weeks and we'll give you a 100% refund.
All we ask is that you show us you made an effort. We only want people in this that are willing to do the work. If you bring the will, we'll supply the tools.
"I saw today's mission and almost threw up. Job well done– I just took more action in 20 minutes than I did in the past year."
—Kate Marolt
Yes. Absolutely. However everything we teach is based on online marketing strategies. So whether your business is digital or physical, you'll be using online marketing to grow it.
Trailblazer is more focused on helping you identify and craft your offer to the world. The Job Escape Kit is more of a "hold your hand and guide you every step of the way to ensure you follow through on quitting."
Yep. You'll want to make sure you have a package with the 365 missions though. They are designed to help you create and grow an existing business.
There's no requirement to complete each one every single day (even though it's better if you do). You'll have access to them for life, so if you get behind, there's always time to catch up.
It's time for you to make your great escape. Start now.

Special K Challenge Review | You Lose Weght in 14 days
Are you up for this special challenge?Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
- Established: Parent company Kellogg's in 1906
- Founder: Will Keith Kellogg
- Stock Symbol: K
- Headquarters: Battle Creek, Michigan
- Accessibility: Online communities, book
- Diet Type: Low-calorie, two meals per day replaced with cereal
- Gender: Female
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
You've probably seen the commercials - excited women dancing around with bowls of Special K cereal. You probably don't get this enthused after your morning breakfast, but does yours help you lose weight?
The Special K Challenge says that if you'll follow their simple dietary guidelines, including two bowls of Special K cereal each day, you can lose up to six pounds in just two weeks.
The Special K Challenge promotes a community effort, by partnering with Yahoo Health. There you can join the Special K Challenge group, to participate in forums and chats with other challengers and access weight loss tips.
You're advised to visit with your doctor before beginning the Special K Challenge.PRO
- A simple approach
- interactive online community at Yahoo Groups
- Fast approach to weight loss that is relatively healthy
- High fiber diet
- Lacking in balanced nutrition
- A temporary solution
Provides little guidance for planning dinner meals
The Special K Challenge is much like a meal replacement diet. You'll begin the day with a bowl of Special K cereal for breakfast with skim milk and fruit. Then replace your typical lunch with a bowl of Special K cereal. You'll then enjoy the dinner of your choosing - the healthier the better. Throughout the day you should consume plenty of fruits and vegetables to replace unhealthy snacks.
Special K has a variety of cereals and snacks to help you stay committed to the program. There are six cereals including Red Berries, Vanilla Almond and Chocolatey Delight. There are also many flavors and varieties of snack bars, protein meals, diet shakes, cereal bites and bars. Plus, the recent addition of Special K2O Protein water in refreshing flavors like Strawberry Kiwi and Lemon Twist. It should be noted that some of these food items, like the protein bars, contain partially hydrogenated oils- which means they are a source of trans fats.EXERCISE
There is not any guidance provided from Special K regarding exercise.CONCLUSION
If you're looking for something to jump-start your weight loss, maybe you can try this for a week or two. Maybe it will be a physiological boost for you to continue. Otherwise, the idea of an obviously temporary eating plan seems like a losing proposition. Be sure to read the food labels of all of the Special K items as you'll want to avoid the ones that list partially hydrogentated oil in the ingredients, as this is a source of trans fats.Common Misspellings

A friend went from a size 14 to a size 8 in a little over 2 months. I was impressed and she looks wonderful. I'm starting this diet Monday. I only need to loose about 10 lbs, but need to loose inches around my middle. I'm also going to start exercising. I'll see how this works.
I started the Special K Diet today. I love the new blueberry flavor. I don't really like cereal/milk but honestly it wasn't bad at all. I can do this.... better yet, I will do this.
I started this diet 2 weeks ago and have lost 10 pounds. I am also making sure to keep my caloric intake to 1200 a day. I do allow for extra calories if I have done at least 20 minutes of exercise! Good luck to all!
I'm starting this diet tomorrow and I hope it works! I would like to lose 20 pounds and start a daily exercise of 30 minute walking. Wish me luck!
I tried this Special K Diet and it worked. I lost my goal of 6lbs and I felt good. I could tell a big difference in the way I felt and could tell that my tummy wasnt so bloated. I will continue this diet with a few substitutions here and there for the lunch time.
im going to start this diet and see how its works for me,i love the taste and the added bonus is low in fat... best of luck to myself and everyone who is trying this.
Currntly 67.5 kg. I gained like 5 kgs in one month! Depression&stress:(..so yeah, i guess I should start a diet now.
It's one of my new year's resolutions. I followed strict diets, but I ended up gaining double the weight i lost, so i guess this is a cool one for me.
Tommorow I'll start the Special K challenge! I hope I'll reach 60 soon~ hahah.
Best of luck to all.
I am starting my diet today.I hope to lose weight, at least 20 pounds in all I want to lose, I really hope this works for me.
I just started it today! I am hungry as well...but I think my stomach will adjust. Those who question if it is a healthy plan...I believe it is for a short term to quick start your weight loss. If you read the contents on the packaging it includes many vitamins that are essential for our body as well as the appropriate amount of nutrition in other areas. ....anyway...if it works I will post again soon!
Weight: 105 lbs.
Height: 5'5"
Hoping to lose: 10-15 lbs.
I just started this diet yesterday, and all I can say is: I'M STARVING!
Although this is a great diet, and easy too, it's just really hard the first couple of days while your stomach is adjusting to this new eating habit.
However, I will not accept defeat (yet)!
I will admit that I have caved in a few times, but I'm getting better everyday.
Here's an example of what I'm eating:
Breakfast: Bowl of cereal or cereal bar or 2 special k waffles w/o syrup.
Lunch: a meal bar
Snack: cereal bar
Dinner: My choice.
(Throughout the day I'm also nibbling on some veggies and fruit)
And then for my other snack, I just drink protein water throughout the day.
And I have given up on soda which is REALLY hard for me!
And I shall weigh myself once a week.
I sure hope that I can keep this up. :)
I'll repost in a few weeks or so.
Good luck to everyone! :)
I had my husband help take my measurements and I was so surprised at what I had gained over one year. I star ted the special K diet a week ago but I have a bad back what can I do for exercise that wouldn't my back any more than it is?
Im going to be starting this diet this monday depending on how good it goes i might make it a longer thing. It doesnt seem unhealthy to me at all you just need to add in fruit and veggies throughout the day i have the cereal and the cereal bars and now they have meal replacement bars..so insted of eating cereal twice a day you have cereal in the morning.protein snack bar,Meal Bar for Lunch,Another Snack Bar,And then for dinner your choice of Food.
Hopefully it works but of course with any diet you will get better results excercising also.
I loved the cereal and snack bars, but didn't lose much anything. maybe 2 lbs.
was on it for 2 weeks.
seems like if you have a higher BMI, then i can see that you could lose up to 6 lbs.
Well.... am I correct in that?
I do exercise 7 days a week for 30 min. and strength train 3 times a week for 30 min.... so its not like I am not exercising.
I have one main meal at lunch.
watching portions too..
These posts really inspired me! So I ran out to Walmart today and got two boxes of the Special K cereal. I am a vegan (meaning I don't eat meat or dairy) so I have a limited supply of the flavors of the Special K cereal that I can eat. In any event, I got the Protein Plus and the Red Berries.
I have lost 80 pounds on my own diet and now I need to refocus after several days of bad eating.
I am looking to lose about 40 more pounds and I am confident that I can achieve that goal by the end of February (at least) .
I exercise 3-6 times a week already. Though I am going to start strictly doing 6 days a week.
I have a plan. A one day V8 juice fast tomorrow to jumpstart my weight loss and then everyday after that, Special K with soymilk for breakfast and lunch. A sensible dinner. Workout 6 days a week for 1.5 - 2 hours. One or two cheat meals per month. And a weekly weigh in.
Good luck to everyone else embarking upon this journey!
yes it is great i have lost 3 pounds onthe first. i ate one bowlok special inthe morning and in the evening. in lunch i ate fruits only. and exercised for one hour 20 mins
Lisa your post inspired me, I really need to loose weight and I'm going to do the Special K Challenge!
ive been on the special k diet since oct 1. and i have lost 26 pounds in 2 and a half months. i went from a 16 to a size 8. amazing, and i feel good. I see a few of you are concerned about it being unhealthy. No. i talked to my doctor and she told me as long as I stayed in the 1000- 1200 calorie mark, dont go under that, then youll be fine. She also said some people stay on it permanently. I made this my lifestyle change. not a diet. I eat 1200 calories daily, thats cereal fruit in morning, cereal bar and fruit..snack, lunch cereal bar fruit, snack..cereal bar and vegetables dinner.. a sensible meal and i also eat a small snack in evening..popcorn, crackers, cereal bar fruit, vegetables. and plus i walk 30 minutes daily and drink lots of water and green tea. i cut out soda chips, candy cookies. but i sometimes sneak one here and there, but i dont consume it on a daily basis. you will lose weight if your motivated enough. just remember to cut out things that was causing you to gain weight. instead of fried foods, bake or broil them. i eat fish twice a week. when i cook i only make meat and vegetables and i steam potatoes only. bbut also we dont consume a lot of potatoes. we dont eat much hamburger meat. very very little. we also cutout pastas. that was on our meal weekly. now we enjoy our foods more, and now that we have lost some weight we feel better and have more energy. ive decided to not let food consume me. i dont sit on the couch and eat anymore. no no. we dont allow that anymore. they also say that snacking while watching tv is bad because if your watching a good tv show and eating at the same time, you dont realize how much food you are consuming. i also found that putting certain food in baggies is easier too. its already portioned out for you, so you dont have to eat out of the bag. well i hope some of this helps and have a happy new year, and good luck on your weight loss. remember its not a diet...but a lifestyle change.
i am going to start my diet today.
I am starting the challenge tommorrow, so hopefully I can pull through it and stick with it. I just had my second son and I really need to lose 38 pounds. I know its alot but hopefully I can lose it all with the help of this diet. If this works I'm telling everyone!
im trying it starting today!

"We chose this band because we had a great time at other weddings with them. The ceremony and cocktail hours were great but our reception was a nightmare! The drummer went off the deep end and was fighting with other band members. He was eating during our cocktail hour amongst our guests and saying the F word on the mic while our guests were on the dance floor. He eventually started packing up his drums during the reception and they begged him to stay. Unbelievable and disgusting behavior!!!"

AUTO-X Pictures From the Weekend
Nice! What is behind the tall grass?
Behind the grass....
Is more grass, we autocross on an old unused runway. The tent structures are probably portable hangars for private planes. :dunno:
Here are mine... same day... where I met bmwerkes.
Can see a tiny bit of rear wheel lift.
Looks like that cone is done for!
Nope, guess not! :)
It was great fun out there with bmwerkes, he smoked me good though :) Good job bmwerkes!
The rest of the pictures are http://www.meridianoutpost.com/srl/p...s/AutoX070304/
I like the start/finish sensors built into the yellow milk crates. Makes them way more visible...
HOLY BODY ROLL! ;) Just bustin your balls! Good stuff guys :thumbup:
Nice pics! Thanks for posting. I like the milk crates too!
Yeah, one of the by products of running in the stock category, i even have a H&R swaybar (full stiffness) in the front!
I'm also running in D-Stock, using the H&R on full soft. What is the reasoning behind for running full stiff, compared to full soft. Do you experience more understeer, with full stiff? Thanks.
Just bite the bullet and move up to DSP.. the car can be very competitive in DSP with a few mods.. just look at what won the national pro solo event down at fed ex field..
True, but im thinking of a 330ci M 6spd which should still be d-stock and give me an advantage of an extra 60hp and 45 ft/lbs of torque. Then i might move up to D-Sp.

Here are some pics from my latest autocross here near Chicagoland.
The first pic is me washing my windshield. Need a clear view for cone dodging. The red E30 is owned by a marine and it's been all over the world, so I'm told. His son Darien is the one driving. It's got 430,000 miles on it! Original engine and tranny! He replaced the stock clutch at 392,000! :yikes:
If you look closely on the silver E46 you'll see the front reflector is missing. He hit a cone so hard he broke it off! :thumbup:
The red E36 M3 is pretty bad assed too. He's got a carbon fiber hood with a huge skull and cross bones decal on it. Fast as hell.

Oh, and there was some stupid italian car there too. :rolleyes:

UPDATE 2-Sudan frees jailed opposition leader Al-Mahdi
* Al-Mahdi says to consider resuming talks with the government
* Sudan expects presidential and parliament votes in April (Adds Al-Mahdi's comments, supporters' celebrations)
By Khaled Abdel Aziz
KHARTOUM, June 15 (Reuters) - Sudanese authorities released opposition leader Sadiq al-Mahdi on Sunday, in a signal of the government's intent to ease political tensions ahead of elections next year.
Al-Mahdi, who was arrested in mid-May, was accused of undermining the constitution, a charge that could have led to the death penalty, after he said the government had committed violence against civilians in the Darfur region.
Sudan's State Minister of Information Yasser Youssef told Reuters that the release of al-Mahdi occurred within a "legal framework" but did not give further details.
Al-Mahdi, a former prime minister in Sudan's last elected civilian government, is the head of the Umma Party, the most prominent party opposing President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who ousted him in 1989.
His arrest prompted weekly protests by his supporters. His Umma party cancelled national dialogue talks called by Bashir earlier this year to calm down opponents who have regularly been voicing discontent over the government's handling of the troubled western region of Darfur.
The head of the Congress Party, another opposition group, was arrested earlier this month after he too criticised violent practices by security forces in Darfur. Continued...

While cruising the South End Open Market yesterday, I spotted some great vendors that I wanted to highlight but I just don't have the time today, so I selected just two. The first, The Dyslexic Press, does a little remix of familiar brands, signs, and modern icons to create very poppy modern graphics that really stand out in the form of screen-printed shirts, prints, and bags. Learn more about The Dyslexic Press here at the Market Blogger.
Psst: If you're down in Brooklyn this weekend, look for their booth at the Renegade Craft Fair.
{I'm sorting through the 50 mood board entries that came in over the weekend, and that are still streaming in today, so I'll start posting some of them this afternoon. I'll post about 20 here this week and on Friday, a survey will appear that readers can take to determine the 4 winners. Contest submissions must be in by midnight EST tonight. Thanks to everyone for your entries, this has been a fun contest.}

calls for participation
Call for Papers & New Media Texts: Reading (and Writing) New Media
(a collection of essay-texts edited by Jim Kalmbach and Cheryl Ball)
Reading has long been studied in literary theory and pedagogy, in education, and in composition studies, but we have not yet interrogated the act of reading in the context of digital new media texts. Consequently, as teachers of digital literacy, multimodal writing, and web authoring, we often ask students to interact with and create digital, multimodal, and web-based texts without asking them to reflect on what it means to read such texts.
The editors of Reading (and Writing) New Media invite proposals that address questions such as What does it mean to read new media? How have digital spaces changed the activity of reading? How does reading digital texts—including games, instant messages, digital art and music, and other forms— enlarge our conception of what a text is? Is there a digital canon forming, and what are the consequences of such a move? We also recognize that every act of reading is also an act of writing—a construction—and that reading cannot be separated from writing. We ask: What happens when writing morphs into composition or design? What sorts of composing processes inform the creation and reading of new media texts? What teaching possibilities lay at the intersection between reading and composing new media texts? We invite essays and new media texts that reflect broadly on these issues. New media texts will be published in an accompanying CD with print connections (i.e., an author of a new media text can submit an artist's statement to be published in the book and which would point readers to the CD). The CD will also contain selections from the new media projects discussed in the essays.
Call for Abstracts
Writing Centers and Disability
Deadline: October 1, 2005
Abstracts (approximately 500 words) for potential contributions are invited for a new edited collection tentatively titled Writing Centers and Disability. This collection will investigate the vital, but often ignored intersection of Writing Center Studies and Disability Studies.
Contributions will ultimately fall into three general categories:
• Research on tutoring writers with disabilities,
• Research and narratives of experience of making the writing center space accessible, and
• First-person accounts, both narrative and theoretical, of the experience of tutoring a disabled person or of being a disabled person who works in or uses a writing center.
(See the original CFP and a downloadable Word document at my site.)
Shoshana Zuboff and James Maxmin are excited about it and see it as a moment of new liberation and choice for consumers and workers alike. Gilles Deleuze saw it as horrifying, even worse than the disciplinary society Michel Foucault described. It goes by many names: Distributed capitalism, the control society, the informatics of domination, the support economy. Whatever its name, the characteristics are the same: control over organizations is as distributed as ownership is in managerial capitalism; digital technologies play a vital enabling role; consumption is individuated, taking the form of the desire for unique identities and unique experiences; direct relationships between customers and businesses become more important; and customers look for stable beneficial relationships among consumers and producers that support these individual experiences. These needs are supplied not by large, vertically integrated companies but by temporary "federations" of suppliers for each individual transaction. These federations are endlessly recombinant. Work is fragmented temporally, geographically, and disciplinarily. Lifelong employment is replaced by what Zuboff and Maxmin call "lifelong learning" -- what Donna Haraway calls continual deskilling and retraining.
CFP: Computers and Writing Online 2005
When Content Is No Longer King: Social Networking, Community, and Collaboration
David Reed explains that in the early stages of a network's formation and growth, that "content is king," that there are a "a small number of sources (publishers or makers) of content that every user selects from" (qtd in Rheingold Smart Mobs 61). As the network scales, "group-forming networks" occur, and the value of the network increases exponentially in relationship of the number of users, otherwise known as Reed's Law, privileging the social interaction over content.
We can see this change in network valuation in today's Internet. The increased valuing of social interaction in large scale networks is reflected in the new technologies that place emphasis on social communication and community over content. These technologies, often dubbed "social software" are applications that, as Clay Shirky explains, "support group interaction."
We invite proposals from scholars, graduate students and others who have an interest in computers and writing and social interactions and are working on projects in gestation, in progress, near completion, or at any stage in between, whether a thesis or dissertation, article, book project, or just want to preview and fine-tune your conference presentation for Computers and Writing Conference hosted by Stanford University. This is a unique opportunity for extended discussion of your ideas before heading to Palo Alto. Conference organizers are particularly interested in presentations that address, but are not limited to, the following concerns:
Technical Communication Quarterly Special Issue: Online Teaching and Learning: Preparation, Development, and Organizational Communication
Online teaching and learning have become common to many organizations. Various traditional colleges and universities currently conduct academic courses—such as rhetoric and technical communication—online. Many times, students need acculturative exercises to assess their "readiness" for the online environment and possible follow-up orientation. Those who teach online and administer such programs also need orientation and training for their own "readiness" in online environments. They need training at organizational levels not just for technical platform-specific skills development, but also for the practical and theoretical transfer of pedagogical principles and practices to online environments. Similarly, non-traditional educational institutions that provide learning assistance or market to distance learners conduct employee training and development. In any of these cases, such training often occurs at a distance. It is important to examine what kinds of principles and processes address the very real challenges that arise when an institution conducts some or all of its training and professional development online–via the Internet or other modalities. This special issue of Technical Communication Quarterly explores organizational communication, needed preparation, and development strategies for online educators.

OGDEN - Three players scored in double figures as Weber State rallied for a 69-63 win over Northern Colorado Thursday night at the Dee Events Center. The win moves Weber State to 11-2 in Big Sky play and sets up a first-place showdown with North Dakota Saturday night.
Northern Colorado led 32-28 at halftime and the Bears started the second half on an 8-2 run to take an eight point lead at 40-32 with 16:00 to play.
The Bears led 52-46 with 9:12 to play when Weber State went on a 12-0 run to take a six-point lead at 58-52. All 12 of those points in that run came from senior Kyndahl Hill and freshman Jerrick Harding. The Bears came back to tie the game at 63-63 with 1:30 remaining but Hill was a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line in the final 90 seconds to seal the win.
"We knew this was going to be a real tough game and that's what it was," said WSU head coach Randy Rahe. "Northern Colorado played really hard and I thought that first half they were tougher than us. We got back in the fight in the second half and played more physical and found a way to win."
The Wildcats shot 49 percent from the field, compared to 43 percent for Northern Colorado. WSU also outrebounded the Bears 32-30 but finished just 5-of-18 from 3-point land. WSU was 16-of-19 from the free throw line.
Hill led Weber State with 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds. He was 5-of-6 from the field and a perfect 9-of-9 from the free throw line.

Zach Braxton added 16 points and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds, while shooting 7-of-10 from the field. Harding came off the bench for 13 points with 10 coming in the second half. He was 4-of-5 from the field and made two 3-pointers on the night.
Jeremy Senglin tied his season-low with six points on two first half 3-pointers.
Weber State improves to 16-8 overall and 11-2 in conference play with five games remaining. The 'Cats will host the conference's hottest team Saturday as North Dakota comes in having won four-straight and seven of its last eight. The Fighting Hawks are 16-8 overall and just a half game behind Weber State in the Big Sky standings at 11-3.
Saturday's game tips off at 7 p.m. at the Dee Events Center.

skiing, music, and everything in between
April 17, 2009
Hey everyone... I know I've been a bit of a hermit this winter but it was necessary for me to hibernate from the cyber world and focus on one task...skiing. All things considered I had a good season, not great, but good. Unfortunately I was not given many opportunities on the world cup this season as I only raced Lake Louise, Bormio, and Kitzbuhel. It's extremely tough to perform on the world cup circuit unless you are on it full time, and I fell into the part time category (I was racing europa cups and nor-ams as well). The good news is that I had a very successful europa cup and nor-am season, and earned a world cup spot in downhill for next season. If I want it, it's there!
As for music, once the season ended I started playing a lot of shows and put together a short Mountain Tour through Colorado and Utah to promote our new album "Matchstick Memories." So far we have received a warm response and our first single "Spring Cleaning" is getting some play time on Sirius/XM's Coffeehouse channel! I you want to check it out you listen to some songs on myspace or order it from our website. We are also playing at the Desert Rocks Music Festival in Moab, Utah on May 24th!
As for the in between, I'm planning a surf trip to Nicaragua with some friends in May, which is going to be unreal! I can't wait to get back on the board and let the snow melt back home while I surf some warm water. It's often overlooked how important it is to decompress after a long season and hopefully it will inspire me to write more songs as I've already started writing for the next album.
Hope this finds you well...

Wengen Europa Cups
January 10, 2009
So do you want the good news or the bad news first??? ?Bad news...ok...the bad news is I missed the podium by .10 seconds and ended up 4th today. ?The good news is the field was stacked with a few world cup skiers including Marco Buchel, Manny Osborne-Paradis, and a few others so the competition was tight. I was also 6th in yesterdays race and I'm currently 2nd in the Europa Cup DH standings so I will be training for a spot to race in the World Cup in Wengen next week! ?The other good news is that I'm in one of the most beautiful ski town in the alps. ?Wengen is a tiny village tucked away in the Swiss Alps that makes you feel like you are living in a winter fairy tale. ?For one, the sled is the favored choice of transportation (there are no gas powered vehicles except tractors that the farmers drive around and the occasional snow blower, and each hotel has a courtesy taxi powered by electricity. ?There is one grocery store, a couple bakeries, and a number of small pubs that cater to the predominantly English band of tourists. ?The other selling point is the Eiger towers over Wengen, which is one of the most prestigious mountains in the alps. ?Since I'm coming back next week for the world cup I promise to post some pictures soon. ??

Happy and Healthy after Bormio Crash
January 02, 2009
It was rough day at the office last Sunday in Bormio. ?After a rugged start and a couple costly mistakes throughout my run, I made the costliest mistake of them all when I lost control and crashed into a fence going 65 mph. ?Normally I wouldn't be that happy about crashing but this crash was an important one for me. ?Not only did I walk away virtually unscathed (a few bumps and bruises), but it was the first time I've crashed since I broke my leg 4 years ago. ?I needed that crash to trust that my body is capable of taking a heavy impact without injury and that is exactly what happened. ?It may sound like a strange concept and it's hard to explain but when I got back up and collected myself my mind was, "set free," in a way. ?I skied to the finish, waved to the crowd as they cheered for my being healthy, and immediately started thinking about the next race in Wengen, Switzerland. ?So...next week it's onto Wengen! ?

-Xmas in Bormio-
December 25, 2008
First of all merry xmas and happy holidays to everyone...wherever you are, I hope you're enjoying quality time with your family and loved ones! ?As for me, I am enjoying this xmas with my family on the road ie...the World Cup Downhill Team. ?We are in Bormio, Italy and have a World Cup Downhill this Sunday which means we don't have time to go home for the holidays. Although I miss my friend and family back in Park City xmas in Bormio has a number of fun traditions. ?Some of these include: "borrowing" a xmas tree from the local market, a secret santa for the whole team on xmas morning, a White Elephant gift giving game, and our newest tradition....an 8 course Italian meal on xmas eve. ?
Today we also splurged and went to an old thermal spa in the mountain which has been around in some form since the 1300's. ?They had natural hot and cold baths, steam rooms, saunas, mud baths, the works! ?So if you ever make it to Bormio, Italy I highly recommend checking it out. ?
So...I will post some pics and video from our festivities and keep you informed about the race this Sunday. ?Once again...merry xmas and happy holidays!
Bryon ?

First World Cup Downhill is tomorrow...watch it live!
November 29, 2008
This week I'm referring to Lake Louise as Lake Bormio. The reason: Lake Louise is traditionally one of the easier downhills on the world cup circuit while Bormio is arguably the hardest...don't worry Kitzbuhel, you're hard too. Either way, Lake Louise is far from easy this year as the course crew has prepared the hill a little differently this year. They injected water into the hill nearly the entire way which makes for rock hard ice and bumps along with added terrain from the man-made snow. Today the course was littered with ruts and holes from the ice breaking up after each skier and made for a rough day for a lot of us. There were a number of crashes due to the tough conditions which prolonged the training run and made for an interesting psychological experiment going up for my run...it's never fun to watch your competitors crash! The good news is regardless of the tough conditions I put down a solid run and qualified to race my first world cup in two years to the day. Going into tomorrow the Americans are looking strong. Bode Miller has won two of the three training runs and Marco Sullivan, Scott Macartney, and Steven Nyman have all posted top ten results in their training runs. Andrew Weibrecht has also been putting down some fast runs into the top 20 along with T.J. Lanning. Also, be sure to check out World Cup rookie Jeremy "Worm" Transue in his debut performance tomorrow. Race coverage starts at 1:30pm est. and will be viewable live online at www.universalsports.com (here is the actual link: http://www.universalsports.com/mediaPlayer/media.dbml?CLIP_ID=48961&_MODE_=EVENT&db_oem_id=23000).

Chile...Part two
October 09, 2008
Its been too long since my last post but I have some good stories and pics to share from our second trip to the Southern Hemisphere this year. After a month off snow we flew back down to Chile and hung our hats in a place called Portillo. Portillo is perched high on the Andes Mountains (10,000 feet at the base) and is home to 5 chairlifts, 4 rocca jacks (I'll post a picture to give you an idea but it's basically a 5 person palma lift), one hotel, and some of the best skiing in the world. Aconcagua, the largest mountain in the Americas, towers over Portillo at 22,841...it's a special place. Fortunately we had two weeks of training all to ourselves and we took full advantage of the epic spring conditions from a strong Chilean winter. I personally had a great camp and skied well throughout so I'm excited for the upcoming season, which is just a month and half away (The World Cup Downhill season starts Thanksgiving weekend in Lake Louise, Canada). Check out some pics from Jonathan Selkowitcz (www.selkophoto.com) who was there the entire two weeks documenting our camp.

Summer Powder Day
August 26, 2008
Although 3 feet of fresh Chilean Powder isn't ideal for training, it's ideal to appease the mind and soul. During our training camp in La Parva we were lucky enough to get both decent Downhill and Super G training as well as some great days of powder skiing! After a big storm socked us in for a couple days we were antsy and ready to take advantage of the blue bird day and we charged the mountain as a team. Even though there are "no friends on powder days;" Marco Sullivan, Scott Macartney, Steven Nyman, Erik Fisher, Chris Beckman, Rewk Patton, and I stuck together for most of the day. After a few runs in bounds we decided to take our chances off piste and head over to some steeper and more challenging terrain in the Andes back country. It was so good we kept going back for more and I couldn't help but throw on the head cam and capture it. The video is of our hike that took us above 10,000 feet and into some chutes and bowls you dream about on a powder day. The view was incredible and we could still see Santiago, Chile's capital, below. After a few runs we decided to stick around and do one more sunset run before dark. Enjoy...

Canadian Conservative MP apologizes over anti-niqab comments
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - A legislator with Canada's governing Conservatives apologized on Tuesday for saying Muslim women who do not want to remove their face-coverings when taking the citizenship oath should "stay the hell where (they) came from."It was the second embarrassing backtrack this month by the ruling Conservatives as they gear up for an October election that they have signaled they will center around the economy and the fight against what they call "jihadist terrorism."
The incident occurred on Monday when Conservative Member of Parliament Larry Miller spoke out against a woman who is fighting in court for the right to wear her niqab, at her citizenship ceremony.
"Frankly, if you're not willing to show your face in a ceremony that you're joining the best country in the world, then frankly, if you don't like that or don't want to do that, stay the hell where you came from," he said.
"That's maybe saying it a little harshly, but that's the way I feel."
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has spoken strongly against using the niqab in citizenship ceremonies, but Miller apologized after being in contact with the prime minister's office.
"I stand by my view that anyone being sworn in as a new citizen of our country must uncover their face. However, I apologize for and retract my comments that went beyond this," he stated.
Zunera Ishaq, at the heart of the controversy, said in the Toronto Star newspaper that she willingly takes off her niqab, a veil that covers most of the face, for security and identity, including before the oath ceremony.
"I will not take my niqab off at that same ceremony for the sole reason that someone else doesn't like it, even if that person happens to be Stephen Harper," she wrote. Continued...

The blog will be sporadic this week as I cover BIO's Industrial biotech and bioprocessing event in Montreal. Follow my tweets for some presentation coverage including algae-based chemicals, bioplastic, biorefinery, new renewable chemicals, biofuels, and biobased products for the auto industry.
For now, here are this week's news roundup:
Biofibers on Toyota Prius
Toyota's Prius model now offers optional floor mats (deluxe type) using an advanced Ingeo fiber system. Ingeo reportedly reduces fossil fuel use by 65% and cuts by 90% the CO2 emission when compared to the petroleum-derived nylon resin used in traditional floor mats.
Waste to fuel facility in 2010
Novo Energies's subsidiary WTL (Waste to Liquid) Renewable Energy has developed and designed a novel process to transform plastic and tire waste products into liquid fuels such as diesel, gasoline and fuel additives. Novo will start operation of its first plant during the first quarter of 2010.

I was under the impression that the 750500 had the bigger drive while the 746500 had the 45 hr. drive. The box does say "expanded edition" and "75 HD hours" so I assume I was mistaken. My question is- will I be missing out on any features of the 750500 by buying the expanded edition of the older model?

Timeline (how long your order took to process)
1 1/2 months - I must stress that I had no deadline and was okay with extending the order.
Describe your Experience. Pros, Cons, Comments.
I began searching for a cosplay commissioner way back in May. Finding the right person just seemed impossible - either they would never respond back, stop responding after I sent my measurements, cancel on me because they were too busy, or had outrageous prices. After literally months of searching, I stumbled upon Angie - my saving grace.
I sent her and about 5 other commissioners an email at the same time. I got a response from Angie what seemed like minutes after I sent the email, while the others responded after perhaps a week or not at all. Throughout the entire process she was very responsive, kept me updated, help me figure out my measurements when I was having trouble, and asked me questions about the cosplay I myself didn't even think about.
One of the biggest problems with my cosplay was finding the right fabric. For the pants I needed something stretchy and with a specific pattern. No one on earth I had talked to could find this fabric, but Angie found it almost immediately. She even got into contact with other Johnny cosplayers to ask them questions about the fabrics they used!
The product itself turned out fantastic. I have
gripes about a few things, but really they are negligible compared to the service and everything that went well. The price was great compared to other offers I got. The outfit is accurate and it fits well. The service and response time was superb. She even sent a guide on how to wash each individual part. I HIGHLY recommend people commission Angie - though maybe I shouldn't so she'll be open if I ever seek out her help again

I put them somewhere in the 46-50 win catagory. I'm hoping they get it together and start seeing them play some basketball we all know they can. AI was bought in for the 'playoff punch' so will be interesting to see if he can provide that extra something. Cheers guys

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Senior
swimmer Rachael Foe set a pool record in the 100-meter butterfly
while totaling four first-place finishes in relays and individual
events during Northern Arizona swimming and diving's 173-127
victory over Idaho at the Wall Aquatic Center on Saturday. Freshman
diver Kristy Ardavanis won on both the 1-meter and 3-meter in the
diving competition.
NAU (2-6, 1-2 WAC) concluded its home schedule with its first home victory after falling to Washington State 149-142 on November 6—the Lumberjacks only other home meet during the 2009-10 season.
NAU got off to a strong start finishing first and second in the 400-meter individual medley relay to open the meet. The one-two showing set the tone for the rest of the meet as the Lumberjacks would finish with their best result of the year totaling 11 first-place finishes.
"This meet today was a great opportunity for us to race on back-to-back days and Idaho brought out the best in us," said head coach Andy Johns of the team's performance in two meets less than 24 hours apart. The Lumberjacks were in Tucson on Friday, January 8 competing against No. 2 Arizona and Oregon State.
"We have seen the best and raced against the best and nobody intimidates us when we walk out after facing the teams we have faced," Johns said. "We only have one more dual meet before the conference championships, but I think we are having a good year. We are committed to the team goal and it has shown."
Foe turned in her best meet of the season with individual wins in the 100-meter backstroke and 100-meter butterfly. Her time of 1:03.48 broke the pool record that was set in 2008 by Kansas' Ashley Leidigh. Foe also was part of two winning relays in the 400-meter individual medley and 200-meter freestyle.
In addition to Foe's results, four other Lumberjack swimmers recorded wins during Saturday's competition. Sophomore Kristin Jones won the 800-meter freestyle (9:31.47) and 200-meter individual medley (2:29.36). Aside from Foe, she was the only other two-event individual winner for NAU.
Fi Connell, Vivian Landeck, and Kimber Morelli rounded out the other first-place finishes for the Lumberjacks in individual events.
Ardavanis recorded the first victories of her career while sweeping the diving competition. She finished with a scores of 275.55 on the 1-meter and 310.43 on the 3-meter.
"For the most part, all of them did a pretty good job especially freshman Kristi Ardavanis," said head diving coach Nikki Huffman. "Her warm-up did not look great, but she ended up diving great. For her to get a win is significant especially against some of our tougher divers."
The diving team will participate in its final invitational at in Colorado Springs, Colo., on January 29 prior to the Lumberjacks final dual meet, a double dual against San Diego and San Diego State on Februray 5. NAU will then prepare for the WAC Championships on February 24.

Western armchair analysts need to get over their own narrow minded outlook. The so called decline in Japan is an illusionary product of the console centric blinds with which they look at things. Current generation development budgets outstrip the economic capacity of most Japanese development houses, and when the prospect for return of investment was shown to be dubious at best they all just picked the safe bet, the portables. The western publishers can make a profit on current generation consoles because they have more capital to dispense and they treat game development as a sort of manufacturing process, there are no artists in the west you see, they are all interchangeable modules fit to make games efficiently.
If Japan was putting the west to shame in variety, artistry and creativity for 30 year then logic dictates that they didn't suddenly stop for no good reason. Game reviewers in the west look at games with their narrow console focus and conclude that all the best games made in the world are suddenly the pathetic offerings of the west. Of course it seems like that, but only on the consoles, but what do you expect when no one in Japan is interested in playing or making games for those platforms anymore? If, however, you consider the whole spectrum of games, you see that the genius of Japan is alive and thriving on their now preferred platform, the handhelds. In contrast the now Japan abandoned console field has grown into a western wasteland as sapped of colour and artistry as it is of variety.
In short, Japan has not declined you buffoons, they just went portable, and there is no way to "fix" this so called situation, as long as games cost this much to make Japan will not return to console development, period. So, have fun with your grey shooters everyone, I smell another game of the year coming up, yerp, it smells of grey and gunpowder alright.

Thousand-ship flotilla to mark UK queen's jubilee
By Michael Holden
LONDON (Reuters) - A seven-mile flotilla of 1,000 ships will sail down the River Thames in one of the biggest and most spectacular events ever seen in London to mark Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne, organizers said on Wednesday.
The 10 million pound ($15 million) pageant will include a royal barge and feature some 20,000 participants, historic boats, working vessels, small kayaks, musicians and an orchestra, as well as a unique floating bell tower.
Organizers predict millions will watch along the 25-mile stretch of the river where the flotilla will pass, with hundreds of millions expected to tune in on TV across the world to see the most dramatic display of British pomp and ceremony witnessed on the river since the 17th century.
"The idea of the flotilla has inspired and captured the imagination of everyone, literally worldwide," said Michael Lockett, chief executive of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Festival.
He called it "an event of monumental proportions, the scale of which has never previously been undertaken, certainly in London."
"It is 350 years since there was a gathering of similar scale on the Thames," he added.
The pageant will take place on Sunday June 3 during four days of celebrations to herald the queen's jubilee, travelling under 14 bridges along the Thames and taking some 90 minutes to pass any point along the way.
The flotilla will involve 10 sections, each one led by a music barge. At its head will be the 88-foot (27-metre) royal rowbarge, powered by 18 oarsmen, while the queen and her husband Prince Philip will be aboard a specially adapted cruiser, the "Spirit of Chartwell" royal barge. Continued...

A Little nervous.....
Sunday I'm starting a new project. I built a deck over the course of the end of last summer and this summer and now it's time to cut a hole in my wall!
I guess you could consider the deck itself a bigger project (16'x18') but it went in stages and if the project got stalled it just sat there waiting for me.
Now I'm actually cutting a hole in my house!!!
I already gutted the inside of the wall, re-routed the a/c duct in the wall and discovered that there's already a header in place from the window that's there now. Really the only thing that I have left is to cut the siding and start tearing the thing out.
Not sure what it is, just a little jittery.
OK, done babbling...

If you have vinyl as I remember you don't want to cut it but instead remove all of the siding to expose the sheathing, modify the framing do the install and then reinstall the siding.
The way I see it I can cut the current opening so it continues down to the deck and then trim it out when done.
Or... extend the cut down on one side, take the siding off and try to find some that match to fill in the other side.
Actually Ron .. you have got me thinking now .... I will post a topic in the siding section. I just got an idea.
:excl:There is another post about this from the same guy with diagrams...:excl:
This post inspired the other one----Opening that wall and adding the door will be fun---
Please do pay attention to Rons technique to properly flash the work.
You will enjoy this job---Mike---
