Biting at clothing.
So Nexus is 10 weeks old now. We are still in the middle of bathroom training as well, but I really need to quell his desire to bit at clothes. He's already ripped a number of pants and shirts, and I have a couple battle scars as well.
One of my concerns is giving him enough general activity. Right now between the cold and general weather he hasn't been able to play as much outside. Inside he will try to latch on to anything; shoes, furniture, clothing, etc. A little worse is the clothes that are on you.
I've tried general "break" commands, but to no avail. It's one thing when he is in the house and has a shoe. It's another when he is outside and is charging at one's pants. A couple times i was able to calm him for a few seconds by hold onto his collar directly and petting him in the back of the ear saying "settle". But this has been a 1:50 success.
I wish I could let him run around the house more, but he is just to "bitey" at things. I know this is just fun for him but I need to find some corrective action sooner than later.
I can't get puppies in the winter because of my lack of loving the cold. We've had these 0 degree temps and I'm SO GLAD my adult dogs don't need the same time/attention as a puppy!!!!!!
That said, you did get a puppy in the winter :) so need to figure out a way to manage all that energy. I know I'd have tug toys all over the house so I can grab/play with those. PLUS I'd be taking one outside with me so AFTER the poops/pees if my puppy wanted to 'rumble' there was a good alternative to my clothing...
Are you able to find a puppy class in your area to attend? Be a great help at least once a week to help engage mentally and physically to tire your pup out. Plus actually making playdates with other friends with good dogs, or just friends that like puppies so you can visit.
Things to work out in the home are ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...s-puppies.html and ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...imer-tips.html
Have you heard about Crate Games? Great thing to work on in the house.
Crate Games
Very interesting concepts on the crate games.

Few things are as closely identified with fandom as the sports fan and the athlete jersey. These articles of clothing are not easily hidden, and unlike a bracelet or a pair of socks, are always drawing attention. Wearing a jersey is an immediate call to the rest of the persons in your vicinity that you will go to bat for the player and the team displayed in bright, eye-catching colors all over your torso. It is not a gesture for the faint of heart — aside from the ironic jersey, which is almost as bad of a crime against sportskind as the fairweather fan that leaves before the game is over. Those fans are the worst.
Since the average jersey costs significantly more than a T-shirt or a patch, the players who sell the most jerseys tend to be the superstars, or the legacy players — the newfound excellence of the Damian Lillards and the enduring appeal of the Tim Duncans, who have been good forever. For the record, Duncan is number 13 on this list, so we're not counting him officially — even if he'll probably go down as the greatest power forward of all time. Of course, since he's been in the league since 1997, we've got to consider the possibility that any Spurs fan has already snagged one Duncan jersey (and another one on top of that, in all likelihood.)
So, for the regular season, here are the ten highest selling jerseys in the NBA. There are some old faces, some familiar faces, some missing faces, and some new faces. There's going to be at least one surprise, probably. All numbers gathered from the NBA, which calculated its numbers from the beginning of the 2013-2014 season until the end through its own online store.

Dear Scottsbluff Parents, Students and Community Members,
I have had the honor of holding leadership positions in a variety of school districts in several states - suburban and rural, rich and poor, large and small. I clearly recall many very special school communities accomplish some amazing things for their children. Yet, despite all those great memories, I have never experienced anything like what I see happening in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. What's happening here is the stuff of legends and will be talked about around this region and beyond for decades to come.
Here are some examples, as I begin my seventh year here as Superintendent of Schools, of how I see what's happening here as nothing short of truly miraculous:
As the above examples show, this is a fantastic community accomplishing incredible things. Scottsbluff offers youth the opportunities to grow and to excel that exist in very, very few places anywhere.
In fact, last winter when I spoke about Scottsbluff Public Schools to the newly arriving national accreditation team who reviewed the district this past year to determine our status, I told them that I thought this school district might well be becoming one of the very best in this entire country. They all politely smiled at me. However, during their exit presentation several days later, the group's leader spoke to the roomful of guests and proclaimed (closely but not exactly quoted), "At first I thought this was just a good superintendent saying what he was supposed to say. But now that we've spent several days in the schools and out in this community, I'm drinking the Kool-Aid. He might just be right!"
And so, congratulations to this staff and to this community and to this student body! This is a tremendous school district that is getting better all the time. I can hardly wait to see what lies ahead because I know it will be very, very special. And, I couldn't feel more proud and honored to be a part of it all as your superintendent.
Rick Myles

Concerning leases, all of a sudden I decide to buy the vehicle before the term is over, can I do the purchase at the moment?
After skimming through the forums, found out that RFT are expensive and not as durable. What other
do you guys recommend?
that sounds like a pretty good deal, you can check the approximate invoice of your car on bmwconfig.com, but the markup on these cars is not actually that much, so I bet you're within $1000 of invoice already.
also, if it matters, the manual seats are not that bad - yes you pull a lever, but there are hydrolics that help everything out, so there's no "pumping" you have to do.
unless you want everything else that's in the Ultimate package, you should just opt for $1000 option for the seats, or at least talk with the dealer to break down the options you do actually want... the packages came with a bunch of extra BS we didn't care about... really, lighting under your door handle - who the hell needs that - if you can't see well enough in the dark to find your door handle you probably shouldn't be driving.

Hi all,
I got an email to start a thread, so I'm doing that. The theme was rejected for several reasons, due to "high standards". Personally I think that I saw couple themes that are not up to these standards, but are approved… But I'll let reviewer's look at that.
These are the reasons for rejections:
1) The background is very distracting and does not work well with the way the content is displayed.
3) Overall aesthetics will need improvements before being resubmitted.
And from second email:
I did not see the additional background images. If our review of the primary design does not meet our criteria, we do not continue the review. Unfortunately your primary design did not meet our criteria. You might consider using another of your designs as the primary.
2) The Blog, Twitter and Flicker elements at the bottom of the template need some padding adjustments.
This theme has five skins in it with different backgrounds and colors. Also there are 3 typo style sheets. Please tell me which one should I use as default.
Link to demo: modular
Screen shots of different skins: clear modern retro sharp
Ok I'll say something…
1) The background is very distracting and does not work well with the way the content is displayed.
I could agree with this. Maybe turn alpha down a bit or just remove the pattern or something…
3) Overall aesthetics will need improvements before being resubmitted.
Agree also, but just some fine tuning, nothing more. Example…featured project description, links, overall spacing etc..
2) The Blog, Twitter and Flicker elements at the bottom of the template need some padding adjustments.
Agree 100%. More padding.
This theme has five skins in it with different backgrounds and colors. Also there are 3 typo style sheets. Please tell me which one should I use as default.
Personally I don't like any of those bg's, seems to me like they don't fit at all to overall design. Maybe try to make one bg, but good one, and dump others.
I hope this helps.
Your other skins have backgrounds that work much better with the content than the primary skin. I think it's fine if you still use that skin but just not as the primary one.
The padding/spacing is pretty self explanatory, it just needs some refinements for a few of the skins.
I hope this helps.
I agree with the padding and I'm not a fan of those type's of carbon fiber backgrounds but the reviewers personal preference is judging the design. I do agree with Segan that you should lower the alpha. Flashden has a carbon fiber background on a site template that is the top seller. It is a bit easier to read on but the point is people like them!
Personally I think that I saw couple themes that are not up to these standards, but are approved.I agree 100% and this is my biggest complaint about themeforest. I know Jeff is working on solutions to this but it has been broken for so long. Either accept everything (which I don't want to see) or get a system that works.
The "system" will always technically have a flaw. That flaw is opinion. Everyone has an opinion and not everyone will be happy about every template accepted/rejected. ThemeForest still has a lot of developing to do as it is still such a new marketplace but even a few years from now when it's huge, it will probably still be based on the same flaw for accepted/rejected templates. Design can be quite heavily based on opinion.
As Jeffrey has said in a few other threads, templates have slipped through the cracks and it can take some time for reviewers to really get the hang of things. It's not as simple/easy as you might think. Just try to be patient and work with us to improve the system and the community.
emfeha has done some really nice templates and his sales show it. We see lots of people talking about there files being denied and I agree with almost all of them but when a top selling authors design doesn't meet the reviewers taste then it's very important to call that out. I never said that it was easy but I deal with critique everyday at work as a front-end developer…when I don't perform well I can't just say "now hold on…you need to be patient with me".
xmdsys – Please understand that I wasn't calling you out when I said the review system is broken. I think the HTML section runs pretty smoothly, of course a few exceptions, but there is a lack of consistency in another section. When an author makes a post asking for comments I am going to give my honest opinion even if that steps on toes.
Hi guys, thanks for comments! Really appreciate them. Will try to fix this stuff, and maybe upload again.
One question, I have just came to one theme that was recently approved, that has similar background to one in my template. It looks more distracting (thats my opinion) and this doesn't make any sense to me… I don't want to post link to that theme here, but would like some reviewer to compare them if possible.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/8/2014 (1034 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Owning guns isn't a right
Mr. Robert Sopuck's letter, in the Friday, Aug. 22, edition of the Brandon Sun, quotes Steven Blaney, Canada's minister of public safety, as saying that he believes that "owning a firearm is a right." This is incorrect, of course, since the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1993 that gun ownership is not a constitutional right in Canada. There is no constitutional right to bear arms in Canada. Perhaps Mr. Blaney is confusing the constitution of the United States with our constitution. Believing that something is right does not make it so, otherwise there would be anarchy.
Hope those are passing lanes you are making
I certainly hope all the construction on Highway 10 north will result in actual passing lanes rather than just the almost useless over-wide paved shoulders they gave us the last time they worked on this. Please, make sure those are passing lanes.
What about our Christian values?
All this talk about other ethnic groups. What about Christian values that our country was built on? We are not suppose to say "Merry Christmas" anymore or have Christmas concerts for fear we may offend someone. I am not sure with the mess the world is in right now if we should be taking God out of the picture. If we offend someone by expressing our Christian values, then they will have to deal with it as I will never give up my Christian belief, which is a belief of loving one another, not resorting to violence.
Keystone grounds a disgrace
Just driving through or by the Keystone grounds, you wonder were the money is going. The fence line is growing up with grass — don't you have a whipper snipper? Buy a ride-on mower and hire a student for the summer. Fallen trees from this summer — most taken out but grounds left as found. Some grass has been cut, but some places left untouched. May have been wet earlier but has not rained for some time now. The general appearance is unkempt in the grass and tree area. Time for the board members to take a walk through the once nice park area.
Hip Hip … Boo!
I am reliably informed that there is only one orthopedic surgeon at BRHC who does hip surgery. Are we really being told that his wait list is half that of Boundary Trails, where there are two? This seems to me like a massaging of the numbers by the CEO, who says that people are removed from the list if they don't accept the date given to them. Where do they go — Boundary Trails.

" Sightseeing National / 26 Broadgate / Coventry / West Midlands / CV1 1NE / England "
Lady Godiva, one of Coventry's most famous residents, is a popular story that's often told in schools worldwide. Therefore, visitors to Coventry are often keen to see the memorial to her.
The Statue is currently located in Broadgate, just outside of Cathedral Lanes. There have been some modifications to the picture you can see for the review, thankfully, the big canopy has now been removed and In my opinion it shows the Statue in better light. No longer do you have the canopy in the background of pictures, unfortunately, you do get some ugly buildings.
It is possible however to get a picture of the statue with the Lady Godiva Clock in the background. On the hour the clock sounds and a mechanised Lady Godiva travels around a short track underneath the actual clock and above her, Peeping Tom also makes an appearance. It's a great thing to see and I remember watching it many times as a kid!
Speaking of Peeping Tom, a memorial to Tom can be found on Hertford Street.
The council are working hard to keep the statue clean and have really cracked down on people locking their bikes to the railings around the base of the statue, making it more welcoming for visitors.
There is talk of the Statue being moved to be the centre piece of a new development square at the top of the Burgess/Trinity Street although there is some doubt whether that will go ahead. It will be interesting to see where the statue fits in with the new designs (a complete re-build of the centre!). It certainly deserves pride of place.
Being in Broadgate, the famous Cathedral is literally 1 minutes walk away and the Transport Museum is 3-5 minutes away meaning you can take in several of Coventry's visitor attractions without having to walk too far.

But all these things are my personal mind, and yes, you've definitely right that we do not need hundreds of new modded APKs.
with that data file,some menu files are invisibile. also one download link is dead.
you can download original avic from gp,unpack and see files.
I hope sernam22 will fix that in first post,and add arimi moded data file,or original data file. All other staff is ok,and works fine

Can someone upload the original Avic app?
The links have been taken down or don't work.
just to mention i found more mistakes. ux file from first post have 34 files from 22.214.171.1244935,original have 40(modded ux have more) so not all menu or map items will be visible,englisch lang file(it is nextgen menu language) is 80kb large-same from other version. original is 150kb,so users will probably have erors somewhere in avic menu bcouse words are missing. i did not look other lang files,probably there are mistakes too. data is problem too as im mention if u use that data all menu files will not be visible bcouse it is from other version who dont have same menu as avic. licences are incomplete too.
first post should be updated with correct files, original and modded. there can be found are here in topic.
if anyone want to have original files,it is easy to do that. download original apk from gp(israel primo free,avic,indonesia nextgen are free to download),install. then use total commander on phone to find where are installed files android/data or obb folders,unpack them and copy to some other folder to phone,or replace files in nextgen folder,or copy to pc... if you want more from your igo(more menu,skin..),then you should use modded files from users who posted that files here. i must mention,there are no all language files in original nextgen,so users who dont have their languages there should use custom moded lang files

If you want ux shop, ux weather and other ux put it in ux folder.
They don't work, you know?
...and you know that if there are no defalt translation in lang, the voices in men� are shown in english?
I think you know PSB?
The same ux are in his pack, go on russian forum and tell him all your problems...
If you want modded stuff,use ux with added files,that is not problem. Who sad about voices in menu? Text in menu is missing,bcouse data is from other version(i instaled vesion from first post, in menu useful information parking,fuel,weather when open it is blank menu no text),also some text in menu could missing bcouse lang file is from other nextgen version too. Also those 3 licences dont work with all maps. That is problem with first post.
Pongo put new data file in 4pda,moded of original,korabi posted it here that works fine. If they on 4pda did not update files from 1.1.2106 it dont mean we cant do it here. No hard feelings friend,it is just my suggestion

A dozen years later, O'Neill is a college head coach again -- this time at Southern Cal. So, how will he fare in his new gig?
Ex-Vol Rashard Lee, who played for O'Neill in 1995-96 and 1996-97, thinks his former boss has a chance to do quite well in sunny California.
"O'Neill has a lot of coaching knowledge," Lee said this week. "He's a great, knowledgeable coach. It's just a matter of how his players react to his style. If the players react (favorably), I think that'll help him and he'll be successful."
Today's players are a different breed than Lee and his teammates were 12 years ago, however. Today's players are not inclined to take a lot of intense, in-your-face coaching -- something O'Neill was known for. When reminded of this, Lee chose his words carefully.
"We're getting away from the old school; I'll say that," the former Vol said. "I think Kevin realizes that, and I'm sure he's made all of the adjustments he needs to make because he has another head coaching job."
O'Neill isn't the only high-profile coach taking on a rebuilding job this season, of course. Former Memphis coach John Calipari already has made a monumental splash in his first few months at Kentucky, Tennessee's heated SEC East rival.
Ex-Vol Dane Bradshaw, who grew up in Memphis and split two games with Calipari's Tigers during his UT career, is thrilled to see "Coach Cal" take over in Lexington.
"I'm happy that he's there," Bradshaw said. "Who doesn't want to see Calipari and Pearl twice a year? It's going to be great."

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may open lower, jobs and trade data eyed
Feb 8 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index futures pointed to a slightly lower open on Friday, despite encouraging Chinese trade data that set the scene for economic recovery. Canadian jobs and housing data both came in weaker than expected.
* After two months of hefty gains Canada's economy unexpectedly shed 21,900 jobs in January, almost entirely in full-time work, according to Statistics Canada data released on Friday.
* Canadian housing starts plunged in January as both single and multiple starts fell, particularly in Ontario, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp said in a report that showed the housing market was even weaker than expected.
* China's exports and imports surged and new lending soared in January as the first hard data of the year signalled both a solid recovery in domestic and overseas demand, and the risk that inflationary pressures are building.
* European Union leaders agreed the framework of a new long-term budget after 15 hours of negotiation, laying the ground for 960 billion euros of spending on agriculture, aid and scientific research in the years ahead.
* Credit rating agency Moody's Corp, which could face a federal lawsuit tied to pre-crisis ratings, reported a 66 percent jump in quarterly profit as it benefited from a wave of debt issues.

Yorkville UCS1 Passive Subwoofer
1000 watts - 8 ohms - 1/15" - horn loaded
Product Description for the Yorkville UCS1 Passive Subwoofer
The UCS1 was designed for use with the Unity™ U15 or U215 loudspeaker systems and is the ideal passive subwoofer to match their acoustic parameters. But as with all Yorkville subs, the UCS1 can be employed with any full-range enclosure, especially those with high output. This 1000-watt, 8-ohm "earth mover" takes full advantage of its horn-loaded design to deliver fierce bottom end from a surprisingly compact, single 15-inch-loaded passive subwoofer. The level of performance UCS1 delivers from a box this manageable in size is the direct result of outstanding loudspeaker cabinet design. Optimized horn flare geometry, careful attention to the front and rear internal chamber dimensions, as well as the use of a high performance long excursion 15-inch driver, gives the UCS1 surprisingly high output volume and deep, extended bass response. All this in an enclosure occupying only a total volume of just over 11 cubic feet.
The UCS1 is constructed from solid 15mm 11-ply birch and features a heavy gauge perforated metal grill , integrated tilt-back wheels and four strategically placed bar handles to make moving and stacking the UCS1 as easy as it can possibly be for a subwoofer in this class. The UCS1 comes in a black carpet covering to mate with the U15 and U215, or is available in a black painted Ultrathane finish (UCS1B) for use with the Ultrathane painted versions of the Unity™ loudspeakers. (U15B and U215B).
- 1000-watt horn loaded passive subwoofer

Peninsula volunteers pitching in on sea star wasting disease research
Monday, June 23, 2014 - 11:26am
Peninsula Daily News
The efforts of volunteers across the North Olympic Peninsula have been vital in recent months as scientists work to uncover the secrets of a mysterious affliction eating its way through sea star populations up and down the West Coast.
"Citizen scientists" have braved slippery rocks along the northern coasts of Clallam and Jefferson counties to seek signs of the disease, called sea star wasting syndrome, in the multi-armed creatures that live on the craggy shorelines.

Another update. Just yesterday I replaced my slave cylinder (OEM) and installed a new CDV valve (zeckhousen racing one). After that I took air out of the system by pressing the clutch few times and then opening the screw on the back of the slave (while the clutch stayed pressed). I repeated the process about 7 to 8 times and then I went for a test drive. The clutch engagement was much better (I suppose that was due to the new CDV valve), but the hard shifting only went away by about 20%. I am really not sure what to do now. What else do I need to replace? Could there be more air in the system? Master slave? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

BeerCamp Philly 2011: Serving 10 Gallons to the Masses
Photo by the ever talented and lovely Marissa, who writes the most excellent Food in Jars.
It seems like eons ago, but on June 4 Ray, my dearest friend Rach and I served nearly 10 gallons of Bathtub Brewery's homebrewed beer to a crowd of beer enthusiasts. And it was AWESOME.
We joined the BeerCamp crew earlier in the year, meeting 1-2 times a month at IndyHall where we would taste each others beer, chat and slowly figure out how we wanted the event to turn out (though really, Kelani, Johnny, Dave and Alex were the logistical masterminds behind ALL of it…we just made the libations!)
And then the first weekend of June rolled around and we hauled 4 cases of our bottled beer into the patio/garden area of the Jamaican Jerk Hut on South Street. We iced down some bottles, poured chilled beer into mammoth pitchers … and then got to drinking our fellow brewers' beers during the VIP Brewers Hour.
The three of us worked seamlessly as a team, with 2 people pouring while the other either cracked open bottles, ran to get food, or took a bathroom break. Rach and I attracted quite the crowd from time to time, and it was funny to see guys' reactions to the fact that I was a brewer, not just a "table babe." Ray and I fielded a fair amount of questions, and even Rach picked up enough lingo to explain what she was serving. We'll make a brewer of her yet!
We served the much hailed Bee Sting and a new beer, simply named Cherry Wheat (recipe to be posted soon). We were happy with our offerings, but what blew us away was people coming up to the table and saying, "So we heard about this Bee Sting …" Say wha?! Apparently our fellow brewers were sending folks our way, heaving praise on our little hybrid pale ale. Talk about an awesome feeling.
And we surprised more than a few people with our Cherry Wheat. Typically you say "Cherry Wheat" and people shudder at the Robitussin-like memory of a bottle from Sam Adams. But our brew was far from that. Instead, it was light, wheaty and a balance of sweet and tart. Attendees were shocked and asked for seconds.
After sampling the beers of my fellow homebrewers throughout the night, I'm proud to say I was part of BeerCamp, and I'm pretty sure Ray would agree with me. Why at least half these brewers aren't pro already floors me. What I was drinking that night was innovative and downright delicious.
Tom, from Big Spoon Brewery, brought his Wobbly Bass Brown, Mmmmm Creamy Milk Stout—and for the lucky—some bottles of his Russian Imperial Stout brewed with coffee. We were blown away and super happy when he took the Brewer's Choice Award at the end of the night. People's Choice Awards went to MelloProto Brewing's Blood Orange Berliner aka B.ö.B., Saint Benjamin Brewing Co.'s Transcontinental (a California Common or "steam" beer) and B WeeRd Brew D's CHOCRILLA, a stout brewed with sarsaparilla.
The food was fantastic, the beer superb and the company we kept was excellent. I can't wait until the next BeerCamp Philly event!
Last 3 photos courtesy of Ray who isn't in any photos because he was too busy taking them!

Oil Burner
I have an oil burner that I keep having to bleed every time to get it to run. The nozzle is new and so is the filter, before I go and replace the pump is there something else I could do? Do the pumps have an internal check valve in them that could be gummed up?
You are not giving to much information.
Is your oil tank buried, or above ground.
There can be a hole if the lines run underground from the tank. This has happen on more than one occasion and the customer said he had checked them no leaks. Guess what they were leaking and he had oil leaking out underground. He changed every part even a new oil burner assembly before he did a good thorough check of his lines. When he found the leak and repaired it no more problems.
There is a screen in the oil pump that can get clogged. I once found part of the oil filter in the oil pump.
Check your pressures at the pump about 100PSIG
Hope this can lead you in the right direction.
* Of course you may need a HVC tech to do these checks for safety concerns.

So will we get 80mph limits on UK motorways or not? Despite then Transport Secretary Philip Hammond saying in 2011 that this was a possibility, latest reports suggest that the new incumbent — Patrick McLoughlin — is cool on the idea.
It's reported there could be a U-turn announcement later this year but that 80mph trials on selected stretches of motorway might yet go ahead.
If what happened in the Netherlands is anything to go by, Mr McLoughlin has good reason to be nervous.
In 2011, Dutch authorities ripped down scores of 120kph (74mph) speed limit signs on eight sections of motorway and replaced them with 130kph (81mph) signs for a year, before sending in researchers.
Government online polls revealed that 60 per cent of drivers welcomed the higher, experimental limit with only 17 per cent objecting.
In September last year, Holland's default maximum motorway speed officially rose to 130kph, applying all day long on 39 per cent of the motorway network and at different times of day on a further 19 per cent.
Only now, with mounting concern over the vast funds that the scheme swallowed up and the realisation that the next motorway pile-up could be a very big one indeed, is the dream unravelling, with some experts questioning whether they should have looked more closely at the warning signals in the first place.
Even at an early stage, researchers warned that higher speeds across Holland's motorways would trigger up to seven additional deaths and 34 extra serious injuries each year.
Ministers countered by pledging an 85 million "compensation package" to beef up safety on Holland's 3,000 miles of motorway.
Previously, police allowed drivers to exceed the 120kph limit by 7 kph: now motorists were warned they'd be fined if they exceeded the new limit by 4kph. The Dutch Ministry of Transport announced that with the new measures in place, overall fatalities would now fall by up to 11 a year — with 78 fewer injuries.
Now, however, with the scheme six months old, the 60 per cent satisfaction level has slumped to just 35 per cent, according to Holland's leading motoring organisation, the ANWB (Royal Dutch Touring Club).
"People are asking: was it really worth spending 140-150 million in times of economic crisis just to go 10kph faster?" says Ferry Smith, ANWB's head of public affairs. "The answer is no. The scheme was a vote-winner to keep motorists happy.
"Seven extra deaths when we are trying to reduce fatalities from 700 a year to 450 is a high percentage. Why not just spend 85 million improving roads anyway?"
There's further uncomfortable news for our own DfT. A Transport Research Laboratory study warns that even if compliance by motorists is improved with more average speed cameras, raising the UK motorway limit to 80 will cost an extra 18 lives, 64 serious injuries and 363 slight injuries a year.
Taking improvements to road safety into consideration, it would mean losing 143 lives over a decade or 252 lives over 20 years. Over 10 years, the higher limit would create 2.6 million extra tonnes of CO2, with motorists consuming 162 million extra tonnes of petrol and 675 million tonnes of diesel.
The good news? Drivers will save, on average, more than four minutes for each hour spent on a motorway. Institute of Advanced Motorists' calculations show this would shave travelling time from London to Glasgow by 44 minutes and from Cardiff to London by 14 minutes. Because motorists will spend less time travelling, there would be a major cost-benefit, pumping £2.2 billion into the economy over 10 years, or more than £4 billion over 20 years, says the TRL study. But it notes: "There is an increase in casualties which makes this proposal unacceptable to DfT as part of a road safety strategy."
In the 100,000-member IAM's poll of 2,000 motorists, more than 70 per cent wanted motorway speed limits raised by at least 10 mph. Six in 10 claimed they would be more likely to stick to an 80mph limit than the 70mph one.
"But," says Neil Greig, the IAM's head of policy, "raising the motorway speed limit is a lot of fuss about nothing; it's a 'nice to have' feature but in reality, people are already travelling at 80mph.
"It would mean enormous hassle for little benefit and there's the crucial safety question. You have to weigh the loss of life against quicker journey times. Is it worth it?"
The IAM estimates it would cost at least £500 million to raise UK speed limits, including manpower, engineering, new signs and consultation.Reuse content

Rail fare rises: railways should be run for passengers, not shareholders
The case for renationalisation is clear – and popular
The case for renationalisation is clear – and popular
On top of this, the capping of rail fares is forecast to cost taxpayers around £700 million over the next five years
Support for fracking and the appointment of a climate sceptic show the environment is low on the list of Cameron's priorities
The Tories have tacitly made a very important concession
The mayor is doing nothing to make the eye-wateringly expensive cost of public transport more affordable to ordinary Londoners.
Today the Office for National Statistics publishes July's inflation figures and we see how much train fares will go up from January next year.
Further rail price hikes get the year off to a difficult start for many and meanwhile, the government remains entirely oblivious to the impact of its policies.
IPPR North director Ed Cox explains why a proper transport strategy is needed to address the annual outcry about rail fare hikes.

Activate The Future: BMW Future Mobility Documentary
BMW launches a new film project which takes a look at how mobility will potentially evolve in the future.
BMW just debuted the first of a four part online documentary looking at the future of mobility. 'The New City' is the first film which looks at ideas surrounding how transportation will merge with the urban environment. The film features an interesting list of people offering suggestions on the topic. Beginning with astronaut Buzz Aldrin to designer and futurist Syd Mead, the aim is to offer viewpoints that spark thought rather than definitive solutions.
BMW Activate The Future is where you can watch the films. The interface is similar to Soundcloud allowing viewers to leave comments keyed to a specific point in the film. Further episodes will be released throughout February.

I guess I've been at this too long, I start with a general idea of how much power we want and the RPM range we need that happen in. I have at that time a general idea of pistons and heads which probably comes from doing this more than once but never-the-less the cam timing is in large measure going to drive the compression ratio which will drive the combustion chamber and piston crown sizes and shapes. So once I'm settled on that choice and know where the intake valve will close in crankshaft degrees of piston position in the bore, then I compute the DCR and SCR that the cam needs to be efficient and effective. Then the heads and pistons start to get narrowed down as to port, valve and combustion chamber size, and piston crown shape, deck clearance, and gasket thickness that are needed to dial in the compression with minimal squish/quench clearance along with adequate spark plug, valve and chamber contour clearances. The head selection will drive on the piston crown shape and volumes as to flat top, dome, or dish for best fits and clearances that minimize having to mill the piston to shape as most catalog pistons don't have enough head material, nor should they, to go change the crown shape. If you're getting into that then you need to order a custom semi-finished slugs and machine the crown to suit myself. This obviously is on high buck motors; certainly that kind of effort isn't done on street or claimer engines. I realize, especially with drag engines that very wild cams end up driving you into domes alternate fuels can drive you into large open chambers which also take you to domes, but I bust my hump to avoid domes as best I can because they dont play well with flame front travel and create a lot of surface to volume which makes the whole chamber run like its a giant squish/quench deck, this drags you to other compromises in fuel mixture ratios and ignition advance that drive sufficient perhaps but certainly less than optimal tuning solutions.
I'm always amazed how guys just order a bunch of parts without thinking this through. For the hobbyist and tinkerer their best strategy is to copy one of the many magazine and soft cover book builds or cruise the web for similar information, this can save the average guy a lot of money and time while letting him/her build a very nice engine they can be quite proud of.

UN investigator decries U.S. use of killer drones
* Use of drones has increased dramatically
* Killings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen
* Investigator calls on Washington to justify policy
By Stephanie Nebehay
GENEVA, June 19 (Reuters) - A U.N. investigator has called on the Obama administration to justify its policy of assassinating rather than capturing al Qaeda or Taliban suspects, increasingly with the use of unmanned drone aircraft that also take civilian lives.
Christof Heyns, U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, urged Washington to clarify the basis under international law of the policy, in a report issued overnight to the United Nations Human Rights Council. The 47-member Geneva forum is to hold a debate later on Tuesday.
The U.S. military has conducted drone attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, in addition to conventional raids and air strikes, according to Heyns, a South African jurist serving in the independent post.
"Disclosure of these killings is critical to ensure accountability, justice and reparation for victims or their families," he said in a 28-page report.
"The (U.S.) government should clarify the procedures in place to ensure that any targeted killing complies with international humanitarian law and human rights and indicate the measures or strategies applied to prevent casualties, as well as the measures in place to provide prompt, thorough, effective and independent public investigation of alleged violations."

|For other uses, see Helicopter (disambiguation).
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, there are helicopters that appears in certain missions, fly over bridges and Francis International Airport, and chase after the player when they have a 3 star wanted level or more.
There are two types of helicopter featured in the game: one resembles the Police Maverick and is used by the LCPD, and one resembles the Sparrow. The LCPD variant features an invisible minigun, firing rounds at 5 per second. However, the gun rarely hits, and the player can easily evade it by running away. If the player is in a car, as long as he/she is driving away from it, it is not a threat to a car. However, if the car is stationary, the helicopter can blow it up.
The helicopter cannot be obtained without the use of an action replay or other cheating device. If the player commandeers a helicopter using a modification they can fly it around, shoot weapons from it and throw Grenades or Molotovs from it. It is interesting to know that the helicopter cannot be damaged if its blades touch a building, because there's no coding for that. However the helicopter itself can be damaged if the body of the helicopter hits something. The helicopter has no actual scripted name and cannot be obtained anywhere without a cheating device. The helicopter controlled by the player also has no engine noise and cannot be re-entered after exited. When using a cheat device, the helicopter is available at the Auto Merchant, replacing the Bulletproof Patriot. In the DS and the iPhone version, the helicopter doesn't have the strip on the windshield and seems to have "Police" marked on the side, but the PSP version is basically a Maverick with a blue/white livelry. The helicopter used by the LCPD has a pilot, which may fall out the door after crashing. LCPD Officers that attempt to bust you can open the door and drag you out, sometimes even getting inside the helicopter for a few seconds making the radio sound effects similar to those in GTA IV.
Nintendo DS controls
These are the controls of the Helicopter in GTA Chinatown Wars:
- B - Ascend
- Y - Descend
- R - Rotate Right
- L - Rotate Left
- D-Pad - Move
- X - Exit Vehicle
- START - Pause
- Oddly when the player exits the helicopter, the engine sound will be heard, as well as changing the camera view inside the helicopter makes the engine come back on until it zooms back in.

RESEARCH BRIEF: Established corporate reputation mediates market response to a firm's addition or deletion from CSR indices
Takeaway: The inclusion of a firm in an index of responsible companies may be interpreted as an endorsement of a firm's social responsibility. Research suggests that third-party endorsement is one way that information is conveyed to investors. The effect on firm value of inclusion in a socially responsible index is mediated by the firm's reputation prior to inclusion. Firms with an already strong CSR reputation may benefit less than those with poorer reputations. Conversely, firms that possess strong reputations for CSR are somewhat more protected from negative effects when deleted from an index.
Suggested audience: Reputation managers, investors, companies either included in a social index or striving to be included, operations management, corporate citizenship professionals
In this study researchers looked at how being added to or removed from an index of socially responsible companies affects a firm's financial performance. They analyzed corporate financial data, KLD social responsibility ratings, and share price data for 56 firms that were added and 69 firms that were removed from the Calvert index of socially responsible companies between Jan. 1, 2000, and Dec. 31, 2005.
Key findings from the researchers' analysis of the data include:
- Across the full sample, there was not a significant positive wealth effect associated with a firm's addition to a social index. Firms with poorer CSR reputations prior to inclusion in the index experience a greater price appreciation when added to the social index.
- There was a significant and negative abnormal return for companies on the first day after a deletion. Negative effects from deletion were more pronounced for companies that did not possess a strong CSR reputation prior to inclusion in the index.
- Firms added to a social index have superior operating performance in the period prior to their inclusion in the index, relative to companies that have been deleted from the index in the same period.
- Deleted firms with faster sales growth had poorer returns than firms with slower sales growth
- Firms with slower sales growth that were added had better returns than those with faster sales growth.
- Firms deleted from the index lose more than 1.5 percent of their market value on the day of, and the day after the announcement of deletion. The researchers estimated this as a loss of $4 million for the average firm.
Taken together this research suggests that the market interprets both prior CSR reputation and subsequent CSR events (such as inclusion in an indexed fund) in a more finely variegated manner than had been thought previously. From a managerial perspective this finding suggests that investment in CSR may protect or insure the firm from a negative CSR event and that a positive CSR event (such as inclusion in an index) may help to redeem poor past performance.

haha, nothing that fancy....I deal with Japanese bikes predominantly. I've got quite a few projects running right now, two bikes are mine and 5 are customers/friends....I'll put up a pic of each with a little info:
My '75 honda CB550: swapped front end and rear end to cb750 supersport parts for disc brakes, hand-made tail section/seat, rearsets, and I'm building a 740cc hybrid motor for it (aiming for 100hp) The orange one is mine, the other one is Bonacci01's bike he built.
My '79 Yamaha XS650 hardtail build: pretty self-explanatory, repurposed some cool old stuff on it like the lunchbox for electronics box and copper bicycle pedal for kickstart lever
'76 CB450 twin, getting a basic cafe treatment...customer basically bought a bunch of stuff off dimecitycycles and dropped it all off for fitment:
'80 Suzuki GS750L (luxury model, never cafe'd due to weird frame) I cut the frame are reworked it so it would look proper as a cafe, then built a tail section from scratch.
'81 Yamaha XS650, cafe/bratstyle project, did an engine rebuild, gas tank replaced, and made a seat from scratch
'74 CB360, just picked up this project yesterday for my buddy nick. Going to cafe this one too. sweet little scoot.
I also have a 1970 Bultaco Matador in here for a friend, He was given it from his uncle who owned it since new as a teen.....just needs a major tune-up and some wear/tear parts replaced like cables and carbwork and such

OSU a partner in new $2.2M center for wood-based materials
Oregon State University announced Tuesday it was chosen along with Virginia Tech to lead a new $2.2 million National Science Foundation-funded research center focused on environmentally friendly wood-based composite materials.
The five-year research initiative will involve six faculty members and three graduate students per year at OSU and a similar team at Virginia Tech.
The groups will facilitate collaborative work with eight private companies, including Arclin, Ashland Inc., Jeld-Wen, Hexion Specialty Chemical Inc., Henkel, Weyerhaeuser Co. and Willamette Valley Co.
The companies will pay $30,000 each to support the program.
In addition to the corporate support, the National Science Foundation will provide $130,000 per year in a five-year, renewable grant. The Oregon Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies Center, or Oregon BEST, provided $75,000 in matching funds toward its goal of enhancing green building technologies in Oregon.
Oregon BEST also recently provided startup funds to OSU to establish the Green Building Materials Laboratory.
Fred Kamke, professor of wood science at engineering at the OSU College of Forestry, will be the site director for the new center, called the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center.
"OSU and Virginia Tech are both international leaders in wood science and technology, and this major new initiative will build on those strengths," Kamke said in a news release. "Composite products allow for more efficient, sophisticated and competitive uses of wood, and they're the future of the wood products industry."
Research will focus on renewable, environmentally benign versions of wood composites such as laminated veneer lumber and improved types of wood adhesives. One of the first projects to be performed at OSU will investigate the durability of adhesive bonds using advanced technology and numerical modeling techniques.
Most of the research will be done at either OSU or Virginia Tech, but some projects will also be subcontracted to other partner universities, Kamke said, including the University of British Columbia and the University of Maine.

how does this metric tire size work? I understand the first is the circumference, but the second number is where i get lost. I think its the diameter of the side wall, but which is taller, 40 or 45?

first number is the width iirc, second number is the profile of the sidewall. bigger number = bigger sidewall. the last number explains itself.

Volkswagen Golf R Fan Contest Offers 'Ring' Track Day Prize
In celebration of the most powerful performance car it's ever sold in the U.S., the 2012 Golf R, Volkswagen is launching a fan contest to reward one lucky enthusiast.
"The Golf R has an incredibly loyal following of fans, and this is a way for Volkswagen to say 'thank you' for their passion and enthusiasm," said Jonathan Browning, President and CEO of the Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "We are delighted to reward one lucky Golf R fan with the ultimate enthusiast travel experience, including an adrenaline-pumping driving experience on a legendary track."
Rated at 256 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, the German hot hatch has a justified fan following which is something the automaker wants to recognize. Folks interested in entering need an iPad and can participate via the "Golf R Drivers Forever" app by summarizing, in 256 words or less, why they're the ultimate fan.
The sweepstakes started yesterday and will continue through May 14, at which point a winner will be chosen and sent on a week-long trip to Germany. As part of the adventure, the winner will be sent on a track day to drive a Golf R at the Nurburgring circuit. They will also visit the VW headquarters in Wolfsburg and take a sightseeing trip to Berlin.

Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) had some harsh words for Barack Obama Wednesday.
During an interview with Fox News's Bret Baier, Ryan said, "Everything the president says about budgets, about our numbers, we're used to him telling things that are dramatic distortions" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CONGRESSMAN PAUL RYAN (R-WISCONSIN): We knew that if we offered solutions that they were going to demagogue those solutions. But we feel that we have a moral and a legal obligation that if we don't like the direction the president's taking the country, we should do something about it.
More importantly, we have a law that says Congress has to pass a budget every year by April 15. We think we should follow the law. The Senate for three years has decided not to follow that law. The president has given us four budgets and never in one of those budgets has he proposed any solution to this fiscal crisis.
So what they decided to do is offer no solutions over their own, wait for Republicans to offer ours, then divide, distort, and distract.
BRET BAIER, HOST: The president was out talking about student loans. He says your budget cuts back on Pell Grants, and essentially says that Republicans are turning their backs on young people.
RYAN: Well, I think every week we're going to see the president pander to various groups in this country in order to try and build an election coalition to try and win this election. Pell Grants, for example, dramatic increases in spending over the last number of years, and what we've seen is a corresponding dramatic increase in tuition inflation. What our budget does is it keeps Pell Grants where they are. We just don't sign on for the dramatic additional increase that the president's proposing. And apparently, if we're not increasing spending as much as the president proposes, that's considered a huge cut.
BAIER: So is he wrong when he says this stuff?
RYAN: Well, yes, he's wrong all the time when he says these things. We're used to that. Everything the president says about budgets, about our numbers, we're used to him telling things that are dramatic distortions.
In reality, this has been part of the Democratic playbook for decades.
When Republicans in the '90s wanted to balance the budget by slowing the growth in spending on such things as school lunches, after alloting for an increase of seven percent, Democrats claimed it represented a cut because the program had been growing at 12 percent.
The same is true today. If the Republicans propose a budget with no increases to a program the Democrats hold near and dear, it's considered a cut because they want to increase spending on that item.
As always, the media are there to further the lie so the American people believe the GOP are trying to take food away from widows and orphans.
This will certainly be part of the election year rhetoric the public is going to be subjected to for the next six months.

This year try a staycation and save money on food, lodging and travel
Staycation Savings
The TDS Library
Has the lack of funds prevented you from going on vacation? If so, take advantage of a vacation hotspot right in your backyard. It won't cost a lot of money and you won't need a ton of suitcases and neither will you get jet lag. Here are some tips on how to create precious vacation memories that are also budget friendly for you and your family.My Staycation Memory
Out of fatigue-inspired necessity, my parents had discovered the sweet spot between a "staycation" and an expensive out-of-town junket. This strategy could work equally well in today's lean economy with its attendant high fuel prices.Staycation in Paris, Mexico, China
An inexpensive vacation with kids? To many of us, that phrase seems like an oxymoron. Between the cost of gas (or even more dramatically, plane tickets), lodging, meals out, and entertainment, many families are opting for staycations. However, everyone likes to imagine going someplace exotic like Paris, Mexico, or even China. Why not do it all? Save money, have fun, and "travel" to the destination of your choice, all from home.
Nearly Free Vacation
It's time to start planning for your big summer vacation! Want to go someplace exciting that you have never been to before? Might I suggest a staycation at a charming little bed and breakfast, which looks remarkably like your own home? Make this the summer staycation to remember! No waiting in line at the airport, no tired legs from a long drive, and a budget completely in control.Stay-at-Home Vacations
This year have a fun vacation with all the comforts of home. A staycation is the answer to the frugal person's quest for a quality vacation at bargain basement prices. Rather than buying a bed and a plane ticket, you can use your vacation money to buy experiences.Making a Staycation Work for Your Family
There's nothing more refreshing than a vacation to relax you and get you to unwind. Affording such a trip can be overwhelmingly stressful and difficult though. Even though the money might not be there, the need for some time off and away doesn't go away. Some alternatives are in order. A staycation - vacationing from home - can be a great way to keep expenses low and still have a relaxing time.5 Tips for Making Your Staycation Feel Like a Vacation
When you can't afford a vacation afar, stay put, see the sites and save money with a staycation. Slashing your annual vacation travel budget is an easy way to save money, and families can choose a much less expensive staycation to achieve that goal. Here are five tips for making a staycation feel like a vacation.

Nigerian police said Friday they had arrested a governor's aide over a church massacre and an attack on a military patrol that killed 23 people, but his involvement was not clear.
The attacks this month were similar to scores blamed on Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has targeted Christians as well as the security forces in a series of gun raids and suicide blasts.
Kogi state police chief Muhammed Katsina said that special adviser to the state governor Yahaya Karaku and four others "are being detained and interrogated over their suspected involvement in the attacks on the Deeper Life Church and military patrol team".
Gunmen stormed the evangelical church on August 6 in Okene in Kogi state, cut the electricity and opened fire on worshippers, killing 19 people including the pastor.
The following day, assailants shot at troops patrolling outside a government building in the city, sparking an exchange of gunfire that left two soldiers and two of the gunmen dead.
"We want to determine the involvement of these five suspects in these attacks as well as arms and ammunition recovered in Okene and its environs," Katsina told AFP.
"We want to trace the sources of these arms and those behind the attacks."
Kogi state government spokesman Jacob Edi confirmed the arrests of Karaku and Abubakar Adagu, a former local government council chairman, vowing that officials would not protect them if they are found culpable.
"The law must take it course," Edi told AFP.
It was not clear who carried out the church killings or whether the two attacks were linked, although a police spokesman has said there was "suspicion" that the same group was responsible for both assaults.
The police also previously said they had raided a suspected hideout of militants who carried out attacks in the state, arresting a key leader and two other suspects.
Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and largest oil producer, is split between a mainly Muslim north and predominantly Christian south.
The Islamist sect Boko Haram, which has said it wants to create an Islamic state in the north, is believed to include a number of factions, including those with local political links.
The group has killed more than 1,400 people since 2010 in attacks across northern and central Nigeria, according to Human Rights Watch.

Moving On Training program
Garner, Gary O., Faizi, Naysan, Paroz, Colin, & Norton, Catherine (1998) Moving On Training program.
The Managing for Success Workshop series is essentially, a training program resulting in a "fast-tracking" of significantly improved relations with re-sellers. It may be reasonably expected that this will transpose to improved "bottom-line" performance. Whilst there are obvious short term benefits, this is a strategic initiative that will see sustainable improvements in the medium and longer term.
This Program is a cost effective alternative for customer (re-seller) business development, made even more attractive due to government subsidies available for the purpose of providing training to small business.
Upon completion of the training program, the process allows merchants to become more involved in the planning of an individual's business development program, and will allow better targeting of the marketing / advertising dollar. Merchants are enabled with greater customer loyalty, and improved sales through better individual store business management and marketing /joint marketing initiatives.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
