Event Details
Just one year ago we were in a tiny storage unit and were holding classes (and our Annual Meeting!) at a local business so we could have air conditioning!
Today, we're in a ten times larger space, our membership has tripled, we've been in the Orlando Sentinel, the Orlando Weekly, made Orlando's first Maker Faire a reality, and have taught over one thousand people how to solder. All this was made possible through your support of our mission to "improve ourselves and to enrich the world around us".
In order to continue fulfilling our mission, and have some fun along the way, your presence is required at our Annual Corporate Meeting on September 22nd at 1:00 pm at FamiLAB. Lunch will be served at noon prior to the meeting (members only, please).
On the agenda:
- A quick look back at what we've accomplished in just three short years
- The current state of FamiLAB, including the normal monthly financial summary (there will be no monthly meeting on the 3rd Tuesday)
- FamiLAB - Looking forward & voting new people onto the Board of Directors (see this members-only forum thread)
Legalese: This meeting is required by our corporate by-laws and will include official voting on directors. Nominations will take place on the forums in advance of the meeting. If you cannot attend, you will need to designate another member to vote as your proxy.
Thanks, and we hope to see you there!

Recently I've been pissing about with IFTTT to make recipes that allow you to do stuff that is enjoyable but totally unnecessary.
So what have I been doing? Glad you asked:
- I've made a recipe that adds all my Twitter favourites to Delicious. Pointless!
- I've made a recipe that emails me once a week to check out my Delicious bookmarks. Ridiculous!
- I've made a recipe that creates posts on Tumblr every time someone tweets about http://01100111011001010110010101101011.co.uk which you can find > http://01100111011001010110010101101011.tumblr.com/ Brilliant!
I'm thinking about doing something similar for a few clients as they always love to see positive stuff 🙂
Have you guys done anything interesting/fun/useful with IFTTT?

I'd just like to thank you for redrawing my attention to this. the first time I looked at it I totally couldn't be arsed thinking about what to do with it.
Today I created a load of new recipes and I'll let you know how they work, if at all.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
I love IFTTT. About 3 months ago I set it up to auto post Rebecca Black – Friday to my facebook wall every Friday at 5pm.
Thankfully I dont use facebook much, but I'm told that it's become slightly annoying…
was it something you said Sean?
Twitter has only gone and shafted IFTTT and the rest of us in the process.

Jefferson forward Shayla Wilson became the first basketball player in school history to surpass both the 1,000 career points and rebounds plateaus when she grabbed her 1,000th board last week in a 51-40 win over Durant.
The 6-foot-1 senior is once again leading the Dragons (12-5) in both points (12.6) and rebounds (6.5) per game. Last year Wilson led the team with 15.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game and scored her 1,000th career point Jan. 6 in a win over Plant as Jefferson won the Class 4A, District 9 title before losing to eventual state champion Lakewood in the region semifinals.
Evelyn Wilson, Shayla's mother, said her daughter wants to play college basketball and is looking at several schools. Wilson has a 5.6 weighted grade point average.
"I'm really trying to preach academics," the elder Wilson said. "Because anything can happen with basketball."

Risk factors for revision for early dislocation in total hip arthroplasty
Conroy, Jonathan L., Whitehouse, Sarah L., Graves, Stephen E., Pratt, Nicole L., Ryan, Philip, & Crawford, Ross W. (2008) Risk factors for revision for early dislocation in total hip arthroplasty. Journal of Arthroplasty, 23(6), pp. 867-872.
|PDF (127kB)
Risk factors were investigated for revision for dislocation in primary THAs between 1/09/1999 and 31/12/2004 as reported by the AOA NJRR.
For 65,992 primary THAs the only initial diagnoses with significantly increased relative risk (RR) of revision for dislocation compared to OA were fractured NOF (RR 2.03, p<0.001), RhA (RR 2.01, p<0.01) and AVN (RR 1.57, p<0.05).
58,109 primary THA's for OA were investigated for effect of age-group, sex and fixation method. There were 428 (0.7%) revisions for dislocation, 369 (0.8%) with a cementless acetabulum and 59 (0.6%) with cemented, RR of 1.59 (p<0.01). There is a significantly increasing risk of revision for dislocation as head size decreases (p<0.001).
Cementless acetabuli, particularly with smaller heads, have a higher rate of revision for dislocation.

Air in power steering line, How to flush/bleed it?
As per my stupid mistake in this thread:http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129879
I lost all the power steering fluid in my system. I replaced the hardline I cut, and bolted everything back up nice and snug. Now the problem.
I filled the reservoir with fresh fluid, and started the car. The car seems to suck up all the fluid in the reservoir when running, and then returns the fluid to the reservoir when stopped. Im assuming the air in the line compresses when on.
ANYWAYS if you read all that, thanks. If not, heres the question. How can I BLEED the PS line to get air out? Has anyone done this before?
The only thing I can think of is to loosen the hardline fitting on the rack while having someone keep the reservoir full until it runs through. Any suggestions?
IIRC, to bleed the PS rack you need to jack the front end of the car up, start the engine and then turn the wheel to just before the stop and hold it for a minute, and then repeat in the opposite direction until the pump quiets down (meaning the air in the rack has been worked out of the system.) I think there's a how-to thread about it somewhere on here...
Update, did what you said and it worked. Damn that was easy, I was getting ready to start unbolting shit. Thanks!
i tryied this and it still wont make my power steering stop whining
just turn the wheel full lock one way to full lock the other a few times. just keep an eye on the pas fluid in the reservoir. no jacking required.
While jacking isn't REQUIRED, it makes life easier & reduces wear on the tires etc..
Since you have to turn the steering back & forth quite a few times to get most of the air out....
I just had to do this TWICE on a Chevy Monte Carlo with a damaged cooler line, once for the initial "emergency" repair & again when I replaced the damaged cooler assembly for a friend... It wasn't COMPLETELY bled till after a good test drive as well.... THAT got the last bubbles out of the system, though it was close to OK before I drove it..
Patience & a LOT more wheel twisting than you expected to need to do is the key, when it doesn't work right away it'll worry you a bit - just give it more time to circulate. The system doesn't work well at all on air, and it takes a while to get it all out...
A tip. Sometimes the air is fixed finely with the fluid itself, especially if you let it run empty for a bit. Purge the lines left/right to lock as said then let car sit 10-15 minutes for fluid in reservoir to de-aerate. You may have to do it a couple of times. Later on the noise miraculously has disappeared.
You need to watch the level in the res as you run it and turn the wheel...mine only stopped foaming after I filled the res almost to the top and turned it back and forth...also let it sit idling turned all the way left and right. It was picking up and recirculating foam.
You can damage parts by leaving the steering at full lock left or right for a long period.
It's GOING TO recirculate foam, motion tends to trap air. The only way to stop it is stop engine and let foam come out in reservoir, you have to repeat since foam in the rack cannot get out until it's in the reservoir also.
Done correctly you can install fluid with almost no aeration at all. The system is almost instantly self bleeding, the trick is to get the new fluid in there quick enough so that the pump can never run out and pull air. Once pump starts whining say when you are uncapping the second bottle of fluid to put in you have already screwed up.

02 WRX, new clutch and flywheel, full exhaust and intake, stock everything else
The sound seems to be coming from the tranny, but I could be wrong. There are only two driving situations that makes it happen:
1) engine braking with RPM's higher than 2000 with the majority in the 2000 to 3000 range. Once it drops below 2000, it goes away.
2) barely on the gas, no acceleration in the same RPM range
As soon as I add in any accelleration, whether it be very easy, or going full out, the sound goes away. All gears feel fine. Shifts great, and it stays in whatever gear I put it in. I changed the fluid in both diffs...no shavings.
Any ideas?

Nicki Minaj 'Stupid H–' Video Banned on BET, According to Reports
What does it take to get a video banned on BET, a network that, over the years, has aired hundreds, if not thousands, of violent and-or sexually suggestive hip-hop clips? Whatever it is, it's in Nicki Minaj's 'Stupid H–' visuals, which the cable channel refuses to air, TMZ reports.
According to the gossip site, BET won't say for certain why it banned Nicki's Hype Williams-directed clip, but a source revealed the new video is "too explicit for TV."
Marcy Polanco, a BET spokesperson, tells The BoomBox officially that Minaj's video will not receive any play. "The video will not be airing on BET or CENTRIC," she states.
It might have something to do with the lyrics, as Minaj — presumably dissing Lil' Kim — uses the titular putdown over and over again. Or perhaps BET's censors don't like that part where the Queens rapper dons a leotard and makes like Grace Jones on the cover of 'Island Life,' contorting herself in a rather unnatural fashion.
Or might it be the part where Nicki writhes around in a leopard cage? She's certainly picked a mighty and majestic animal to morph into, but at first glance, the segment isn't exactly empowering to women. Ditto the part where the 'Pink Friday' creator shows her exaggerated special-effects-enhanced — we hope — badonkadonk in profile — yet another possible reason BET pulled the plug.
Not that Nicki needs BET to get on TV. 'Twenty twelve, I'm at the Super Bowl,' she raps in the final verse, reminding us all of the Madonna team-up that, come Sunday, will put her and her outrageous sense of humor in front of millions of people around the world.
The Young Money MC will debut her sophomore LP, 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,' April 3.

BWW Reviews: NEW YORK CITY BALLET Looks Forward to the Future
To jumpstart their 50th anniversary at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, the New York City Ballet began their Spring season not looking back but rather looking forward, presenting works from 21st century choreographers and showcasing the Company's ever-evolving mastery of their art.
The Saturday evening performance on May 3rd featured a diverse range of ballets that highlighted the versatility, artistry, and excellence of the Company. Sonatas and Interludes was a quirky pas de deux set to John Cage's score for prepared piano and choreographed by ballet master and Associate Artistic Director of the New York Choreographic Institute, Richard Tanner. Created for NYCB's Diamond Project, Vespro, choreographed by Mauro Bigonzetti with music by Bruno Moretti, took a new, dynamic approach to exploring shape and movement in ballet. Benjamin Millepied's Two Hearts, with music by Nico Muhly, was a playfully romantic piece that ended with a sensually elegant duet by principals Tiler Peck and Tyler Angle. The performance concluded with Acheron by 27-year-old Liam Scarlett, a visual wonder set to the Concerto in G for Organ by Francis Poulenc.
Perhaps the greatest risk taken was opening with the world premiere of Les Bosquets by Parisian street artist JR, where two completely opposite worlds collided. However, unlike many ballet and hip hop fusions, this was an ingenious blend that was both pure ballet and pure hip hop. The bold composition by New Woodkid set the tone for the piece, inspired by the 2005 riots in the housing projects of suburban Paris. From the beating of the drums to the stark shadow play on the backdrop to the contrasting military marching and gritty gesturing, Les Bosquets roused the audience.

2-4 tunnal ram still tryin
well i took info that you all had told me . ive begain a procees of elimenation to hopefully find the secret to unlock my motors potential. is degreeing the cam on sbc all that critical? Cam Dynamics (now owned by Crane) 284H-12 "energizer" cam 284-284 228-228@.050" .480-.480" 112LSA. is the cam i am runnin.also the heads were milled is this a good thing? i had a degree wheel and was gonna do that but then i was talkin to alocal race shop terry murphyand he kinda laughed at that idea. so i never really got around to do it and i order some headers also
Your problem is not in your long block. It should run great without degreeing the cam. Compression shouldn't be a factor, neither should rocker ratios, etc. Your problem is 100% in your intake system. Your setup is GREAT for wide-open-throttle drag racing launches. However, nothing you are running was ever intended for stop-and-go low end street driving.
The large plenum in your tunnel ram was specifically designed to take the carburetor plenum and venturis out of the runner length tuning equation. Normally aspirated intake systems depend on organ pipe pressure waves to tune a moderate "supercharge" boost at a given RPM. The longer the runner, the lower the RPM when the boost occurs. If the runners are clean and the same length, the engine will achieve the maximum power boost at the design RPM. The tunnel plenum is great for that at the expense of really bad fuel mixture velocity at low RPMs, bad fuel distribution and really sluggish throttle response. I have a lot of knowledge on tunnel manifolds since I designed and built one for my hemi when I was in college studying for my Mechanical Engineering degree. This was in 1968 or 69 so I think it predated the marketing of the commercial tunnels by a few years. Anyway, mine acted just like yours is acting, physics doesn't change!
Here I am in my far distant youth building my tunnel ram.
The other big problem you have is with the carburetors. A mildly hot 350 should have 650 or 700cfm of carburation, max for best all-round performance. The combination of carbs is too big and the double pumper feature is also bad. Vacuum secondary carbs are designed to run 99.99% of the time as 2-bbl carbs with resultant high venturi velocity and great gasoline mixture and throttle response time. Just changing our carbs to 350-500cfm vacuum secondary 4bbl units will be a huge improvement in low end performance. Double pumpers were again intended for WOT drag racing. Dedicated dragsters don't need all the jewelery associated with vacuum secondaries so carb makers produced the cheaper DPs for that niche market. On the street, they don't work very well. When you open the throttle suddenly at low speed, WAY too much venturi is exposed, air velocity drops to near zero and gasoline is no longer siphoned into the stream. That, along with the fuel drop out in the big manifold plenum is the cause of the monster bog you are experiencing.
If you are determined to keep all the widgets you now have, the only fix is to mask the symptoms of the problem with huge jets, big accelerator pumps, and really crappy gas mileage. Now I am the last person to advise someone to get rid of "the look" since I run a Holley 3-bbl 950cfm carb on my 354 hemi. WAY too much carb although Holley wisely made the race-only carbs w/ vacuum secondaries. I made it more streetable by machining some aluminum inserts for the primary bores shrinking them down to the equivalent of a 600cfm carb. I also installed a strong secondary spring, delaying secondary opening so it is very streetable, yet looks awesome.
You can see my custom made primary bore inserts here.
My suggestions for fixing your problem are;
1) replace the big DP carbs with smaller vacuum secondary units.
2) Use some plastic steel to make some inserts for the tunnel-ram plenum reducing the volume to that of a typical 4-bbl manifold.
These two changes will fix your problem and make your car s sweet street/strip runner, I guarantee.
Incidentally, you are new to the board so here is a tip; instead of starting a new thread on an old topic, continue discussion on the first thread. Otherwise the reader will have to do a search to find out what you are talking about.

Now since this thread has been brought up and the recommended information supplied where are all you guys that claimed tunnell rams were so great and wonderful and had GOBS of low end torque? where`s Mr. Xntrik and the rest of his "followers" saying how great they are? since you guys were such Xperts (pun intended) on tunnell rams where are you now? why aren`t you telling this guy where the problem is and why his combo doesn`t seem to be working? Instead we have Willys36, a honored and respected member of this board giving the man his answers and Willys doesn`t post very often and you guys that followed X`s "Xpertise" are always posting and I don`t see you around, I`m disappointed and disillusioned. This thread is not to start trouble, it`s just simply put, stating the truth.
Just to add a bit. Your first post indicated the car sat 10 years. The carbs at least need to be rebuilt and the PV's installed to even BEGIN to help out your situation in order to troubleshoot your current combination. Which in the end likely will follow Willy's train of thought.
In my opinion it's not worth adding anymore to the excellent suggestions so far about your situation until you bring things up to snuff with what you have, unless you want to spend a bunch of money replacing parts. If it were me (as another parts replacing option, I'd install a Performer intake and a 570 Holley Avenger, tweak the jetting, and be done with it. If I remember correctly you had 192 heads? Not exactly tunnel ram material.
Just my thoughts.
I always head the other way Rick. I love the challenge of taking something that shouldn't work and making it do so. But then, working in the shop is my shrink so take that for what it is worth!
Not to offend gm at all I try to fit a response to what I perceive the posters abilities are as well as conserve cash and time. Sometimes convention has it's benefits and it's nice to just get a project complete, on the road and enjoy it for a spell.
I agree, a challenge is always a treat.
im am a green horn when it comes to matching engine components. i have a general knowledge of cars. i have most experiance in maken them shine, i painted my first truck at 14, 71 chevy p/u. ive seen alot of hotrods and have painted several they all had perfect body and paint but never was very cool under the hood. just your basic sbc with performer and 650 eldebrock. this in my oppenions seem most common in most street rods simple and efficient i suppose.there was a few that had total package or as some say had the show and the go.i want something with charactor i like ram cause it just looks nasty i remember the car in its prime still had tunnal ram but with single carb. my uncle wipped up on some unexpecting folks. he had a picture of what he wanted out of this car and i want to try and make it real. he had given up on it. he gave it too me 4 yrs ago its not on priority list but i try to go down and do something to it every knight after work. i have a wife and two boys. they take up most and sometimes all of my free time. hotrods are a very expensive hobby so i usually have to save if i need anything.takes time right?
You have the perfect outlook and goal for what you are doing. I started out buying my '36 Willys coupe in '66 with a dream of making it a daily driver '60s gasser. It took 40 years and MANY mistakes to finally get there but I never lost that vision. I went to college, started a career, built a home and reared 3 kids, all the time doing little tasks in rare free minutes on my dream. I can tell you from experience it is worth the trip. Keep plugging away, when you hit an obstacle, study up on the subject, learn a new skill, get a new Harbor Freight tool and overcome the hurdle. In time you will have the car of your dreams and a bunch of skills that will serve you for life.

Pretty good street/strip combo. Should get you there and back in style once you figure out the bottom end performance of your intake system.
I have a tunnel ramed 383 with no bogs, no hesitation and gets out of the hole without any fancy footwork. It's an older Eddelbrock Street Ram....So why does mine work? lots of compression and tiny primaries (11.6:1, 2x500CFM Edelbrock carbs). I have more cam than you which is still on the mild side. You can make it work....start with the carbs. PM me if you want dirtier details.
I think that, for the street, vacuum secondary carbs would make it easier to tune out a bog.
my heads are 62-67 off 327 1.94 intake and 1.60 exaust 60cc chambers milled .050 cr 11.5:1
Degreeing a cam is always a good idea. I degree in all my cams and have seen some that are way out. I had one that was 6 degrees retarded!
How much timing are you running? I would run about 38 total and have it come in early.
You might want to increase the squirter size.
If you don't have it already, give your carbs power valve protection. I'm sure it backfired once or twice already.

InterContinental Berbuka Puasa 1 Malaysia by Sam Gibbs
Serena Brasserie Intercontinental Hotel Kuala Lumpur
|Serena Brasserie InterContinental
Stepping from the well appointed lobby of the InterContinental Hotel into the Serrena Brasserie is certainly an experience to behold. The Serena, whilst thronging with hungry clients busily creating their meals from a galaxy of offerings, still presents a calming and inviting environment to break fast. From the sound of the waterfall on the terrace, to the brightly colored fish meandering through the pond inside the dining area, all make for a pleasing ambience that adds to the novelty of your Berbuka Puasa dining adventure. And what an adventure it is!
|The Sushi and Fresh Seafood Bar.
One must pause a moment to take stock of the tremendous array of food on offer. Creatively and enticingly laid out before you is a fabulous selection of culinary achievements that represent not only the traditional dishes of the Malaysian culture, but an impressive fusion of Western, Mediterranean, Japanese and even Middle Eastern offerings.
As an almost religious follower of Sushi I started with delicate slithers of Tuna and Butterfish washed down with fresh Oysters. I then moved on to test some of the Mediterranean flavors sampling delicious black olives the Beef medallions with Rosemary sauce and Ratatouille. Also of note was the pasta bar serving several varieties of spaghetti and sauces all prepared on the spot.
|Marinated Satay
Not dwelling too long in Europe I stepped across to Asia and began my odyssey of amazing dishes from closer to home starting with the Murtabak and its accompanying thick Dahl and spicy curry sauce. This was being prepared in the outdoor servery area that is set up like festive outdoor makan malam food stalls. Whilst here I also sampled the hedonistic Teppenyaki, marinated Satay and one of my recommendations, the deep fried Sweet Potato enshrouded in a crispy delicate batter from the Goreng Goreng stall. One will also find whole roast lamb complimented with an array of condiments and gravies, plus the open grill serving a variety of fresh fish and seafood.
|Buka Puasa Festive Ambience
Inside, situated in a special area dedicated to specialties from various regions of Malaysia, were a series of inviting dishes. On offer was a delectable Lamb Rendang made with a rich, slightly sweet and spicy saucy that was simply amazing, Lamb Kurma, Sweet and Sour Prawns and a fabulous Bryani. In addition I had to sample the delicious Wok Fried Mussels with Kam Heong Sauce.
|Dessert Heaven
Having done as much as any human could manage with the savory dishes, a final lap was reserved for the magnificent array of desserts. Here the pastry chefs have gone into overdrive and delivered a heavenly selection of almost every conceivable delicacy imaginable. I got stuck on the explosive lemon meringue tarts whilst not leaving behind the mouthwatering apple crumble and bread and butter pudding. Also on offer was a comprehensive array of traditional desserts that included the beautifully prepared Kuih and of course the ubiquitous ABC from the Ice Kajang stall situated outside.
During the course of this extensive gastronomic adventure I was able to meet some of the people behind the scenes responsible for orchestrating this feast. Zoe Chaplin of Marketing & Communications and a matsaleh veteran of Malaysia informed me that InterContinental thrives on co-joining expertise from abroad with local talent. My impressions were well supported whilst later discussing the future aspirations of the InterContinental's dining services with newly appointed executive chef Darrel O'Neill. Darrel has extensive experience worldwide citing the Maldives, Dubai, India and Australia as some of the countries he has worked in. His aspiration for the InterContinental is clear in that it is proposed to fully renovate the dining experience and in doing so maintain the InterContinental at the cutting edge of hoteliery in SE Asia. Judging by the sense of focus and commitment demonstrated in not only the culinary effort on show at the Serena Brasserie, but also with the local and international staff I met during my visit, I happily conclude that dining at the InterContinental is an experience well worth embarking on both now and in future.
Reason to visit: Experience the exciting Buka Puasa ambience delivered with flair and style.

I'm already on 125,000 miles so I'm just wondering what type of maintenance should I be doing besides oil changes, tune ups, etc. Maybe changing the timing belt?
Q: What type of maintenance should I do on my 2002 echo after 125,000 miles? on 2002 Toyota Echo

Your Toyota has a timing chain so no need to replace that.
Here is a link to Toyota North Americas recommendations for your car

Thanks for the quick reply! Good to know that I don't need to replace the timing chain. I took a look at the manual but the manual stops at 120,000 miles or so, I was wondering if there is a manual or something related for my car after such mileage. Or some specific preventive maintenance that I should be doing after such mileage. Thanks!

Despite a week off, it appears that Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will remain on the shelf with an injured knee, at least for now.
Stafford no closer to playing
Green Leader says: Oct 26, 2009 8:45 PM
I had a subluxation of the kneecap more then 2 years ago and I am still not 100%. Its a tougher injury to come back from than most people think. It took mine about a 5 weeks to heal and then it turned out that I had torn my meniscus so the knee had to be scoped. Hopefully Stafford will recover faster than me and be back because he is one of the bright spots on the Lions for the future.

Dude…you are comparing yourself to an NFL player? Come on!! HAHAHAH
the Dr in my family says a few weeks and he should have been fine…what is going on with him suggests more damage than the lions are saying…..

So is Stanton finally going to start? That's all I care about when talking Lions QB issues.

I live in metro detroit and a lot of people think that the team may be playing it up becasue they realized the team is way to shitty, and the line is going to get him killed so they are keeping him out.

He just needs to eat a hotdog on the sidelines. Any early line spreads for the Rams? I'm telling you, Pay-Per View!
specialistnyc says: Oct 26, 2009 11:39 PM
i dont trust schwartz.
i love him. i just dont trust him. he comes from the belichick tree.
i wouldnt be surprised if stafford is perfectly fine. anybody remember the day of the injury? he didnt even leave the sideline. he didnt even go over to the trainers table. he just sat on the bench and the trainers felt around his leg and ended up giving him one of those neoprene knee pads. if it was all that terrible wouldnt they have rushed him off on a cart? or at least jogged off to the locker room for a closer look? he ended up watching the rest of the game, standing up amongst all the other players.
there was a report that stafford was playing catch, flinging the ball 60 yards down the field. he would never be able to plant and generate that much torque if his knee was all that bad.
KevinFaulk-an-a says: Oct 27, 2009 7:47 AM
I am very thankful that the Pats have Brady, but it must be cool for Lion's fans to have an Angus Young look-alike on the sidelines in his little cap.
severs28 says: Oct 27, 2009 10:42 AM
I guess for Patriots fans it is easier to take not getting any info from the coaches regarding players because they are successful. But when you are historically bad, and your best two players are out this long, they need to throw the fans a bone and just tell us whats going on.

Gainesville Resident Invents Green Technology
There was an event at the Green Liquid and Gas Technologies' warehouse today. It showcased a new invention that some believe could be the way the United States lessens their dependence on foreign oil.
It's called the Green Pyrolyzer Gasifier or GPG.
The machine was invented by Dr. Alex Green, a former University of Florida professor with an impressive background in everything from physics to advising the U.S. Military during World War II.
Dr. Green said this technology is the culmination of all the work he's been doing since the Seventies, when he first realized the United States needed to look into alternative energy sources.
Green said, "When I heard of a small scale micro-turban, I thought well then, I can do my own small scale utility and do it all by myself."
The machine works by taking organic wastes such as sawdust, horse manure, sewage sludge, wood chips and other biomass and heating it indirectly without air or oxygen.
As the machine completes its function, to pyrolyze-gasify the biomass, it creates a lot of energy during the conversion process and produces a bi-product called biochar.
Green said, "In addition to getting the energy more cleanly, we get a charcoal. And that charcoal can improve the fertility of the soil and it can last in the soil for a thousand years."
The potential benefits of biochar and this technology are tremendous, but more research needs to be done before it can be used extensively.
Dr. Nicholas Comerford is in charge of the UF research facility that will test the GPG and he said, "The process is well known. It's the making it commercial and refining the process and for us, understanding the material that comes out is the challenge today."
Dr. Green is confident that the GPG will make a big difference in the agricultural industry and will be a strong alternative to fossil fuel, all while helping the environment.
And although there is more research and testing that needs to be done to determine the benefits and risks of biochar, those who attended today's open house were very excited to have one of the first looks at the Green Pyrolyzer Gasifier.
Attendees even took home biochar samples to try in their gardens.

"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"
"I ordered these cards to use for substitute teaching. They are gorgeous! I opted to have them finished with the pearl finish, and I am so glad I did. The purple is vibrant, the text is clear, the print and paper quality are amazing, and the pearly finish adds just a little something more that I think will make my card stick out among the rest. I highly recommend this card!"
"I used this as part of my parents 50th anniversary invitations for directions and lodging info rather than actual business cards. They came out soooo cute! Everyone loved them!"
"I wanted a business card that was a bit different from all of the rest. This card was really nice for my hsuband's landscaping company. My only complaint is that it is a little small but the dimensions are written so that is really my own fault. My husband loves them and I am proud to hand them out for him!"
"I love how the boutique sign frames my business name, along with my tag line. It makes those stand out and, in my opinion, makes the card unforgettable. The paper and printing quality is OUTSTANDING! So far, when I've handed this card out I have received oooohhh's and aaaaahhh's over it. It's beauty apparent instantly."

Ashcroft says having children has kept his ego under control
FORMER VERVE frontman Richard Ashcroft reveals that becoming a father has changed his life.
The star, who penned hits like The Drugs Don't Work and Bitter Sweet Symphony, says that his two young sons have kept his ego under control.
Back with a new group (RPA and The United Nations of Sound) and album, Ashcroft, the dad of Sonny (10) and Cassius (6), tells Remix: "The good thing about kids is that they don't give a sh*t who you are or what you do."
Ashcroft, who is married to Kate Radley, a former member of Spiritualized, admits he was intimidated by fatherhood at the start.
"There's a tremendous responsibility that goes with being a parent and the first couple of years are an incredible period," Richard reflects.
The performer was just 11 years old when his father died suddenly after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
"Now I'm 38 and my dad died at 41. He was just three years older than I am now and that's crazy," he muses.
The singer says he's relieved that he can stand over his work as a musician, songwriter and performer in the face of his kids.
"I don't know how you deal with being in a boyband when the kids start growing up," he says.
"It's like, 'Dad! Why?'
"My oldest son is now getting to a point where he's more aware of what I do and he thinks I'm alright, although I'm sure that will disappear at some stage."
Like a lot of creative people, Ashcroft says he can be difficult to live with at times.
"I wouldn't like to be married to me anyway, put it that way," he laughs.
"But I wouldn't say I'm that mad, that crazy or that difficult."
RICHARD ASHCROFT's new album United Nations Of Sound is out now.

Sixty years on, U.S. heroes of Montgomery bus boycott recalled
By Letitia Stein
(Reuters) - While Rosa Parks became a symbol of the U.S. civil rights movement when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated Alabama bus, the 60th anniversary of her arrest is also highlighting lesser-known pioneers of the bus boycott she sparked.
Parks made history by taking a stand alongside other desegregation pioneers like Claudette Colvin, a black teenager arrested nine months earlier in Montgomery, Alabama for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger, said Fred Gray, a lawyer who represented both women.
"If there had not been a Claudette Colvin, who did what she did, a lot of other events would not have occurred," Gray said. "It was a matter of each one building upon each other, and the rest is history."
The Montgomery bus boycott, launched in protest of Parks' arrest on Dec. 1, 1955, modeled the nonviolent protests that defined the era and brought to prominence a lead organizer, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
Bus tours, lectures and youth-oriented summits this week to commemorate the boycott's 60th anniversary include efforts to spotlight less prominent players who worked alongside the famed leaders of the protest.
Gray will speak at a two-day event organized by the National Bar Association to mark the occasion, which will be headlined by a visit to Montgomery on Tuesday from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
"We are going to be recognizing these older foot soldiers and the people's shoulders that we all stand on today," said Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange. "We want to make sure that as many as possible get their moment."
This anniversary may be the last major one featuring those who participated in the yearlong boycott, said Howard Robinson, an archivist and instructor at Alabama State University, which will host a discussion titled "I Was There." Continued...

Africa's leading price comparison site, PriceCheck launched today in Nigeria with a broad range of categories offering books, mobile phones, electronics from leading e-commerce sites.
The service, which also launched its mobile site and apps wants to be the prevailing mobile shopping destination when you're shopping for anything in Africa.
Although the service doesn't allow you buy products directly, it lets you compare prices of products (all in Naira) while making a purchasing decision. It's like window shopping, this time online, before making a decision to buy.
It also provides product descriptions, reviews and ratings to guide your purchasing decision. Once you decide which product to buy and click on the product offer, it redirects you to the online shop that sells that particular product where you can then purchase the product.
Users can also create their profile to write product and shop reviews, which could assist other online shoppers with their product purchase. You can also create price alerts to keep you informed about any price decrease or increase for a particular product.
The search functionality offers suggestions of words or phrases for shopping items available on the site, so you don't have to type all the words of your search before it displays your likely search word or phrase, although it relies on its algorithm to fetch possible words. It also shows the prices of each product.
However, the site doesn't offer much options for product or flight comparisons yet, as our search for flight from Lagos to Abuja only showed results from only one airline, Arik Air, so we couldn't ascertain how intelligent the comparison engine really was. That said, since it only launched today, we expect that it would be adding more shops and services for better price comparison of products and services.
Another search, this time for international flights, however, gave us several options from Travelstart, an online travel agency which is partnering with PriceCheck to allow users book for flights online.
For instance, a flight comparison search from Lagos to Cape Town showed a detailed flight comparison, including flight durations from several airlines such as Kenya Airways, South African Airways, Emirates and Arik Air with the cheapest airfare shown first before the rest.
We also found the search engine to be a bit slow in loading and opening search results and although this might be due to bugs, we would expect that it would be faster during future tests. The site also has too much white spaces which requires you to scroll down to perform some actions that you could have easily done without having to scroll.
The site lets you filter your search based on category, manufacturer (in case of electronics, etc) and prices, which is a necessary feature when you wish to narrow your search for relevant results. It also allows you to display results in a grid form or list form, although we preferred the grid form since it didn't require much scrolling down, due to the unnecessary white spaces.
As expected, the Nigerian site looks quite similar (format, look and feel) to its sister site in South Africa. It would be interesting to see how the site looks in a couple of weeks or months, and most importantly, how it makes shopping for products online easy and fun.

Adams Plus Yard spray is all that it's advertised. Probably the best on the market. I keep it stocked and spray regularly.
|by Randy West
|Date Added: Tuesday 06 August, 2013
I have lived in Florida, Georgia and now in California and I know what a problem bugs can be in a back yard full of dogs and kids. This Adams yard spray just knocks the bugs dead and lasts for weeks on end. The best part is how easy it is to apply. Just screw on to your hose, turn on the water and eliminate the bug problem for weeks. The Adams Yard Spray bottle has a built in spray nozzle that shuts off the water, sprays just water or sprays the insecticide water mixture. Once it drys you can let the dogs out to play, so I spray in the evening just before it gets dark and it's dry in about an hour. I let the dogs out in the morning. No flys or fleas. I love this stuff and it goes on so well I have kept the empty bottles to use on my orchard trees.

It works like it should. Bugs and vermin crawled out of the woodwork and scattered left and right. I agree that it can be easy to run out of product fast. I have a somewhat spacious backyard and though I was able to completely spread the chemicals around before running out. I would have like to extend the use to the sides of the house as well. You won't be able to give your yard a good soaking but at least it works like it should. I wish they sold this in larger bottles. The nozzle on my bottle was fine but I can see where it would break easily if not handled carefully. Just make sure you prepare your yard for watering before turning on the hose so you don't waste the liquid.

"This is one of my favorite ways to serve fish," says Kathleen Plake of Fort Wayne, Indiana. "I'm originally from Louisiana, where much of the food is spicy. So I like the spark that the chili powder and green chilies give this good-for-you baked fillets."

Toyota to hike vehicle prices by up to Rs 24,000 from Sep 21
The company said the price increase of the Etios, Etios Liva, Innova and Corolla Altis will be increased by up to 1.50 percent.
New Delhi: Toyota Kirloskar Motor on Tuesday said it will hike prices of its key models by up to Rs 24,000 with effect from September 21, to partly offset higher cost of raw materials and rupee depreciation.
The company said the price increase of the Etios, Etios Liva, Innova and Corolla Altis will be increased by up to 1.50 percent.
"Due to inflation, falling rupee and increase in the cost of materials, the company was forced to pass on the increase in cost to the customers," Toyota Kirloskar Motor said in a statement.
The company said the multi-purpose vehicle Innova will be costlier by Rs 7000 to Rs 11,000 from its current price of Rs 9.77 lakh to Rs 14.42 lakh.
Sedan Corolla Altis will be dearer by Rs 11,000 to Rs 24,000 from the existing price of Rs 11.74 lakh to Rs 15.89 lakh. Mid-sized sedan Etios will see a hike ranging from Rs 4,000 to Rs 8,000 from its current price of Rs 5.45 lakh and Rs 8.15 lakh.
The company further said the compact car Etios Liva will cost Rs 4,500 to Rs 8,600 more from the present price of Rs 4.46 to Rs 6.59 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi) with effect from September 21.
Earlier this month, Ford India had hiked prices by 1-5 percent on different models with immediate effect to offset rising input costs.
Last month, German luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz had hiked prices of its entire model range in India by up to 4.5 percent from September 1 to partly offset impact of rupee depreciation and higher import duties.
General Motors India had also hiked the price of its three models by up to Rs 10,000 from the first week of September.
Earlier, BMW group had raised the price of its products across models, including the Mini, by up to 5 percent. In July, Audi had also hiked prices across its models in India by up to 4 percent.
Although it had recovered a bit in the past one week, the rupee has depreciated against US dollar for a prolonged period. It has weakened over 17 percent against the dollar since April, pushing up import and input costs.

Just a thought for you, but that style of bag is going to get in the way a bit more. The nice thing about a backpack, is it leaves your hands free. A bag with just one strap you throw over your shoulder will feel heavier with the same weight load, since it puts all the weight on one part of your body (one shoulder vs. two), and tends to move around more when you need to move quickly, and requires more adjustment. I once had to do a patrol with a bag like that, and it took a lot of adjustments to get it to sit somewhere comfortable. Too low and your legs knock into it while you walk or run, too high and it feels like the strap is trying to choke you.
I would stick with the daypack, but that is just me.

Then comes up the problem of people joining the drive without signing up, what about some sort of temporary sticker that would be placed next to the licence plate or something of the sorts to let admins and authorities know who is signed up and on the drive.
I like the idea of a sticker
Also, I know this wouldn't go over well with the CHP but maybe we could ask for a quick traffic break and a longer green light while leaving the fairgrounds.
We would also need two lead cars for the freeway to set the pace (I'll volenteer for one of those positions
...hopefully I'll have my E30 M3 by next year). My point of view is, if there are two responsible drivers in front then what kind of stupid things could the people behind us do? The worst thing would be tailgating but I don't care if they would be on my bumper.

Hey Sammystevens,
I was in a similar problem, I too have a MBP. In the end I just installed it via VMware. The reason you can get wireless is because the VM detects it as an 'ethernet' connection. Ive just bought a recommended wifi adapter off eBay for not that much.
I know this doesn't really help with installing it, but I thought id add my two cents to see if it is a route you could go down. Saved me a massive headache

text: DES MOINES, Iowa and SEATTLE, July 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation (NYSE:MDP, www.meredith.com ), the nation's leading media and marketing company serving 100 million American women, announced today it will launch Allrecipes magazine, a print extension of the company's highly popular Allrecipes.com digital destination. This represents the media industry's first large-scale digital-to-subscription magazine print brand extension. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130715/CG46833) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090810/CG58830LOGO) Allrecipes magazine will be published six times per year with an initial rate base of 500,000. The December 2013 premiere issue will debut in mid-November, just in time for the busy holiday cooking season. Meredith will also be creating a regular Allrecipes branded television segment that will air as part of Meredith's nationally syndicated television program The Better Show, which currently airs in more than 160 markets, and will air nationwide to 90 million homes on the Hallmark Channel beginning in September. "Allrecipes is a unique and powerful media brand," said Meredith National Media Group President Tom Harty. "Our testing reaffirmed its tremendous consumer appeal, and we think advertisers will view Allrecipes magazine as a new and exciting way to reach a large base of very motivated consumers." Meredith conducted tests of an Allrecipes magazine concept this spring, bundling it with issues of popular Meredith titles such as Better Homes and Gardens, Parents, Family Circle and Fitness. Meredith also promoted it on its popular digital sites, including Allrecipes.com. "The results of the tests exceeded our expectations, generating approximately 400,000 paid orders," said EVP/ Meredith Women's Lifestyle Group President Tom Witschi, who will oversee the Allrecipes magazine business. "Clearly there is tremendous enthusiasm and passion for a print extension of the Allrecipes brand, and we intend to maximize the multiplatform delivery to consumers and marketers." Advertising sales for Allrecipes magazine will be led by Christine Guilfoyle, who is being promoted to VP/Group Publisher. Guilfoyle will continue to serve as Publisher of Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine and will also retain oversight of the EatingWell magazine brand. Cheryl Brown is being named Editor-in-Chief of Allrecipes magazine, reporting to Linda Fears, head of Meredith's Food Content Center of Excellence. " Allrecipes magazine will have a distinct voice and personality which will appeal to 'cooks like me'," said Brown. "It will speak to real everyday cooks who want to share their ideas and inspiring recipes with friends, family and other like-minded people." Brown and her Des Moines-based editorial staff will work closely with the Allrecipes.com team in Seattle. "We are excited by the incredible opportunities the magazine offers us as we further expand the Allrecipes brand across multiple media channels," says Stan Pavlovsky, SVP/President, Allrecipes.com. Allrecipes.com is the world's largest digital food brand with a database of over one million recipes and more than one billion annual visits from family-focused women who connect and inspire each other through reviews, photos, videos and digital media. Allrecipes.com's U.S. audience is 65 percent female with a mean household income of $75,000, and it reaches nine out of 10 primary grocery decision makers. Allrecipes.com is the top how-to recipe channel on YouTube, with more than 600,000 subscribers. Allrecipes' 11 top-rated mobile apps for iPhone, iPad Android, Kindle Fire and Windows 8 have been downloaded by more than 18.5 million home cooks. The brand has 18 websites, and 18 mobile sites serving 23 countries in 12 languages.

Mating-Type Control of DNA Repair and Recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
- Jac A. Nickoloff
- , James E. Haber
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Mating type in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be one of three types: a, α, and aα. These mating types reflect information present at MAT,which is normally MAT a or MATα in haploid cells, and MAT a /MATα in diploid cells. MATα and MAT a each have two open reading frames, but functions have only been identified for three gene products, Mata1p, Matα1p, and Matα2p. The MAT gene products are key regulators of the different stages of the yeast life cycle (reviewed in refs. 26,28,30). The Mata1p/Matα2p complex in diploid cells represses transcription of haploid-specific genes, including the repressor of meiosis, RME1,and HO. In MATα haploid cells, Matα1p complexes with Mcm1p to activate α-specific genes. Matα2p complexes with Mcm1p (as well as Tup1p and Ssn6p) to repress a-specific genes. MAT controls mating: a cells mate with α cells but not with a cells, and vice versa, and aα cells do not mate with any of the three cell types. The mating behavior of a and α cells reflects their expression of the haploid-specific mating pheromones, a -and α-factor and the cognate transmembrane receptors. MAT also controls meiosis and sporulation; MAT a /MATα diploids can carry out meiosis whereas diploids expressing only one of the two alleles do not. The ability of aα diploids to enter meiosis depends on repression of the regulatory gene RME11,which is turned off by the action of the Mata1p-Matα2p repressor complex. This leads to the expression of many meiosis-specific genes. Although natural aa or αα diploids are rare, they can be easily produced by using a regulated source of HO endonuclease (29) or by deleting one MAT allele (i.e. αΔ or aΔ) (44).

Could you go through your ebay transaction history and get us the name of seller for the black grille?

To answer some questions that were posted:
1. I like the ride on the 19' a lot better. I had the 17's on before and I heard and felt so much more road impact and noise. I wish I would have gotten all-season
for my 19s because I dread going back to the road noise and such with the 17s. ( the
for the 19s are toyo t1rs). I know people complain from more noise as they get bigger wheels but I guess I'm the opposite. (maybe i just had crappy
on my 17s)
2. Most of my mods have come through my local bmw dealer and one of my brother's sponsors
. That site has good deals on stuff and the service has been great....that's where I got my rims from.
I also suggest ecstuning.com but they basically have the same stuff your local dealer would have (so that's good if you don't have accesss or the time to go to a dealer).
3. I got my black grill from ebay. I looked around and no sites had them. Yet, on ebay there were a lot and I took a chance. You just pop the old grills off and pop the new ones on.
4. The chrome trim on the window came stock on my car. I know there is a part number for the trim but I don't know what it is. Check realoem.com and see if you can find the part number then just pick it up from your dealer.
5. As to pricing for the stuff on my car- I can't recall the exact prices but a rough estimate of each would be:
VMR Rims- 900 or so
Toyo T1Rs
- 200 or so per tire
Grille- 80
Smoke side markers- 30ish
Running Boards- 500
Tailights- 250
Chrome Exhaust Tips- 60 or so
Aluminum Pedals-80 or so

Should they wait? What's going to happen next in the future of gas prices.""The future is somewhat iffy with where gas prices are going," said DeHaan. "I believe that retail prices will go up for another week or so, but it's difficult to tell Americans you know, how to spend their money at the pump or what day to buy."And even with the recent jump in prices at the pump there are still a number of vehicles pulling in to fill up."Unfortunately Americans beside complaining about it there really has been limited reactions by Americans to high prices, demand for gasoline is still very high," said DeHaan. "And as demand remains very high gas prices will likely remain at their current levels."

Mariano and his friends are helping their parents turn an old Brazilian coffee plantation into an inn. The children sleep in a shed, which is being converted into guest rooms. One night they hear crying. Gradually, the ghost of Rosario, a young slave from the late 1800s appears to them and tells the story of why she is so sad.
Hans Christian Andersen Award-winning author Ana Maria Machado's storytelling skills and social conscience come together in this powerful and moving book that reveals the evil of slavery in a real, immediate and unforgettable way.

PATROL BASE BOLAN-T, Afghanistan - Royal Engineers with 59 Commando Squadron completed construction of an Afghan Local Police station in the Helmand provincial capital of Lashkar Gah, July 26.
"This is the third police station we have completed in this area for the Afghan locals," said Lt. Joe Robinson, commanding officer of 59 Commando Squadron, and a native of Barnstaple, England. "The Afghan citizens in the area have been very helpful in assisting us in completing the station."
The station took three days to complete and will house 15 Afghan local police officers. More police stations in the area will help eliminate insurgent activity, said Robinson.
"We are helping the Afghan Local Police to get up and running in small expeditionary policing for the local villagers," he explained.
The police stations assist the community with local problems, crimes, security and domestic disputes. The ALP work with the Afghan uniformed and national police to handle larger issues.
"These guys [Afghan Local Police] are brave guys they want to look after their community and families." They want to keep their people safe from insurgents," said Robinson. "We are happy to do our part to make their area is safer for the Afghan people."
