My First CO2 Regulator
Isn't she pretty?
Alas, I will not be running it this weekend. While attaching the tubing to the bubble counter, the glass turned with the tube fitting. It actually broke apart in my hand. Grrrr....such a shame. Are they all that flimsy?
Anyway, thanks for the guidance and great informative posts, oldpunk and bettatail.
Nice work. It's it cool knowing you've built something way better than what's available to the common hobbyist. As a bonus, you've also given yourself a lot more understanding of how it works. :)
That looks pretty amazing! Will you be willing to post links of your source of info. I am trying to put one together very soon, but still reading up on all the DIY articles I can find.
Very nice build, I like those gauges, is that stock?
What piece of glass are you talking about, the one on the bubble counter? Mine is not glass at all, it's plastic, strange. How are you going to use the SMC? Have you tried it out yet?
When I say "glass" I am speaking in the sense of its function, not material. Yes, it is plastic. And the darned thing just broke with almost no torque on it at all.
I had a devil of a time finding the tiniest leak! I pressurized it, then shut the valve. No visible leaks with soapy water, but after a few hours, the low fell from 30 to zero. The high side is rock solid at 900. I checked and checked and FINALLY found an almost invisible little leak at the low side gauge, where I had to take it off to install everything else. Another 360 turn, and it has been 16 hours without any decrease in pressure.

"This year, the wooden platform on which an altar was placed for the occasion will not be set up, but the actual altar of the Sistine Chapel will be used.Here are a couple more photographs of the Mass:
"A decision was made to celebrate on the ancient altar to avoid altering he beauty and harmony of this architectural jewel - the Vatican note explains - preserving its structure, in a celebratory viewpoint, and making use of a possibility foreseen by liturgical legislation. This means that, at some moments, the Pope will be with his back turned to the faithful and facing the Cross, thus guiding the demeanor and the disposition of the entire assembly"
The New Liturgical Movement has a collection of photographs which illustrate the visible continuity between today's celebrate and those of previous Popes (NLM: Hermeneutic of Continuity).
Today's instance of the Holy Father leading by example is of tremendous importance. We have all seen Churches of outstanding architectural beauty where the harmony of the lines of sight and the overall unity of composition has been radically disrupted by the placement of a "people's altar" in front of the High Altar. There are many fine Victorian Churches in England whose architectural focus could be allowed once again to shine in all its original spendid harmony. Perhaps the Holy Father's example will help those responsible for such Churches to take the step of quietly removing the wooden platform and table which is in some cases all the alteration that is necessary. A very obvious example in Rome itself is the Chiesa Nuova which I wrote about just over a year ago (The "New Cheese") Here is a photo showing the (easily reversible) disruption:
In his homily at the Mass, the Holy Father's words neatly contradict the secularist nonsense about the supposed "harm" done to children by bringing them up in the faith:
Certainly, to grow healthy and strong, these babies will need material care and much attention; but that which will be most necessary for them, indeed indispensable, is to know, love and serve God faithfully, in order to have eternal life. Dear parents, be for them the first witnesses of an authentic faith in God!

Making another stop on their extensive publicity tour, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill showed up at the Cinema Vanguard Award ceremony at the 2014 Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Thursday night (February 6).
Continuing to show off his praised work, Leonardo DiCaprio took the stage at a Variety screening of "The Wolf of Wall Street" in New York City on Tuesday (February 4).
Looking dapper as always, the 39-year-old Hollywood stud rocked a black suit and an unbuttoned navy dress shirt as he laughed on stage and engaged with the audience.
They had an amazing chemistry in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill have decided to see if lightning might strike twice.
According to a report, the "Inception" hunk and the "21 Jump Street" star have both signed on for a new FOX project based on the 1997 Vanity Fair article "The Ballad of Richard Jewell."
Gearing up for the big game, Beyoncé Knowles and Leonardo DiCaprio had a blast during Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday evening (February 2).
Teaming up with pals like Ethan Suplee and Richie Akiva, Leo hammed it up for a few shots, sporting sunglasses and his usual newsboy cap.
Taking time out to greet Japanese fans, Leonardo DiCaprio touched down at Tokyo International Airport on Tuesday (January 28).
The "Wolf of Wall Street" star sported a blue coat, gray cap, and blue jeans as he made his way through the throngs of adoring admirers.
Showing some love to their Japanese fans, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill showed up at the Tokyo premiere of "The Wolf of Wall Street" today (January 28).
Proving he can draw attention wherever he goes, Leonardo DiCaprio made his arrival at Tokyo International Airport this morning (January 27).
As the "Wolf of Wall Street" hunk got off the plane, he was surrounded by eager fans, who acknowledged the group by signing autographs before continuing on his way.
Opening on "Saturyday Night Live" with a monologue about his success and Academy Award nominations, Jonah Hill's speech was quickly trounced by questions from "audience members" wanting to know everything about Leonardo DiCaprio!

- Jorie Graham
One of the most celebrated poets of the American post-war generation, Jorie Graham is the author of numerous collections of poetry, including Hybrids of Plants and Ghosts (1980), Erosion (1983), The End of Beauty (1987), Region of Unlikeness (1991), The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems 1974-1992 (1995) winner of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, Never (2002), Sea Change (2008), Place (2012), From the New World (2015), and Fast (2017), among others. Born in New York City, Graham was raised and educated in Italy and France. She attended the Sorbonne in Paris, where she studied philosophy, and New York University, where she pursued filmmaking. While in New York, she began writing and studying poetry, and went on to earn an MFA from the Iowa Writer's Workshop. She later taught at the Writers' Workshop, leaving to join the faculty at Harvard as the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, a position previously held by Seamus Heaney and a chair whose occupants date back to John Quincy Adams. She was the first woman to be awarded this position.
Graham is known for her deep interest in history, language, and perception; the critic Calvin Bedient has noted that she is, "never less than in dialogue with everything. She is the world champion at shot-putting the great questions. It hardly matters what the title is: the subject itself is always 'the outermost question being asked me by the World today.' What counts is the hope in the questioning itself, not the answers." Graham has received numerous honors and awards for her work, including the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur fellowship and the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
Visual art, mythology, history, and philosophy are central to Graham's work. The influences of her mother, a sculptor, and father, a journalist, her tri-lingual upbringing, and her early immersion in European culture are all evident in her poetry. Her influences are predominantly modernists—William Butler Yeats, T. S. Eliot, and Wallace Stevens, among others—and help explain the shape and flow of her poetry, which is marked by a reliance on line as a unit of sense and perception. Using long and short lines, indentation and spacing, Graham's forms explore the dualities and polarities of life, of the creative and destructive tensions that exist between spirit and flesh, the real and the mythical, stillness and motion, the interior and exterior existence. While Graham's first two books received high praise, her third, The End of Beauty, is generally acknowledged as a watershed. In this book, Graham fully developed her long, flexible line and focused definitively on consequence rather than closure. Critic Sven Birkerts noted that in the poems, Graham "discovers in her narrative the critical or pivotal moment: she then slows the action to expose its perilous eventual consequences." Several of the poems are broken into numbered sections, often of seemingly unrelated fragments that are pieces of a larger collage; at times, the poet offers a kind of "close" reading which requires readers both to participate in the poem by filling in the blank and for Graham to present her own inability to express the not-yet-conceivable, as in "Like a , , , , , , , , , , this look between us."
Through her collections of poetry, Graham's distinctive style has evolved to accommodate both new kinds of experience and new kinds of reading. In the Paris Review, Graham noted of her shift from the long sentence-like lines of The End of Beauty to the shorter lyrical line of Region of Unlikeness: "I wanted to pack a lot into the lyric, but not go beyond its bounds. Some have written that I wanted to expand what the lyric could do. I just want the hugeness of experience—which includes philosophical discursiveness—to move at a rate of speed that kept it (because all within one unity of experience) emotional. Also, often, questions became the way the poems propelled themselves forward… It brings the reader in as a listener to a confession[.] A poem is a private story, after all, no matter how apparently public. The reader is always overhearing a confession." Graham's interest in the reader's experience of her work, and the power of poetry to reshape perceptions of the world, runs through all her books. According to Weston Cutter in the Kenyon Review, Graham is"writing ultimately for connection, and not just the abstract, we're-all-human connection, but a specific one between writer and reader—there's a contract she's looking to enact. If you like Graham, the feeling of her poetry is seismic for the ways in which she tries so hard to get you to feel and understand, in all complexity, the issues she's tackling (without getting too bogged in this stuff: each of the books can, in ways, be understood as focusing specifically on central issues—art, masculinity and femininity, history)."
Critic David Baker once wrote that he could "think of no other current American poet who has employed and exposed the actual mechanics of narrative, of form, of strategic inquiry more fully than she has—at least no other readable poet—and no other poet able to deploy so fruitfully and invitingly the diverse systems of philosophy, science, and history. If anyone can unify the disjoined fields of contemporary discourse, I think it might be Jorie Graham." Graham herself has a different understanding of the potential of her work, and poetry generally. "I'd say poetry wants to be contagious, to be a contagion," she told the Paris Review. "Its syntax wants to pass something on to an other in the way that you can, for example, pass laughter on. It's different from being persuasive and making an argument. That's why great poems have so few arguments in them. They don't want to make the reader 'agree.' They don't want to move through the head that way. They want to go from body to body. Built in is the belief that such community—could one even say ceremony—might 'save' the world."

Where can I find this carb? (QJet)
Okay, I have a '78 Corvette. And the stock carb is a QJet. But if you don't know about this, it's a 4 barrel carb that can compete with CFI and EFI. So, I was wondering...
Where could I go to find a "beat up" QJet carb? Something I can rebuild, polish, and get some pride out of it? I've honestly never had to go looking for a new carb. Where can I get one of these? BTW, this carb is what pre-'82 Vettes used (the Sharks - Stingrays). Maybe I can go searching out a C3 Vette in a junkyard that might have one of these carbs on it? There must be a better way.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks. :D
Have you checked eBay?
Jacob :D
I don`t recommend you get a carb from Carbs Unlimited, who specializes in Q-jets, I already did buisness with them. when I got it, it looked new, had new throttle shaft bushings installed, so I had bright hopes for it, I installed it, it ran great, I was happy, until I shut it off. the well plugs, which had been sealed with epoxy, leaked down faster than I ever seen any leak down, even while running I noticed they leaked down, I took the carb back off, took off the base plate, stripped the epoxy off, restaked the well plugs, added new sealant, let it cure under a heat lamp for 36 hours, reassembled, installed it, same problem, I called carbs unlimited and they told me it wasn`t possible that they leaked as the carb was tested before it left on a dyno. since I had resealed them, they refused to warrenty it. however there are other places to get Q-jets, Jet, makes performance Q-jets, they have stage 1, 2 and 3, they cost a bit more, but worth it. they have the basic replacement up to full race Q-jets. Edelbrock also makes Q-jets. Q-jets are great carbs, and there simple to rebuild, here`s a site I learned alot about them and these simple mods prove to be effective.
there`s other things to lean of Q-jets, like the hanger numbers, metering rod codes and etc, Doug Roe has a book on Q-jets which is real helpful on building them as well as performace mods. good luck silver.
Around here, the average life of a Qjet in a junkyard is measured in milliseconds. You'd think they'd be all over the place, considering how many they made. But the only ones I ever see are so f'd up nobody would want them. However, if you know somebody that works there....
Thanks for the input, guys. I'll look into that book by Doug Roe. After I read up on that, then I'll get a beat up Q-Jet and restore and rebuild and modify it.
Thanks again, guys! :D
Hey, is the book you are talking about "Rochester Carburetors"
by Doug Roe? Is this the one? I think I'm going to buy it.
Get a new one from GM Performance Parts.
Actually, I was looking to get one for real cheap and spend a lot of time cleaning it up/rebuilding it/modifying it.
pretty much any q jet can match up to the intake. if youknow of any taxis that use g.m. they will probably have a few out back somewhere. mike

ReportsnReports.com: Pet Care in Belgium
Euromonitor International's "Pet Care in Belgium" is now available at ReportsnReports.com.
Value growth in pet products despite economic turbulence
Economic turbulence, which was present over the review period, had almost no effect on the sales of pet food and pet care products in Belgium. Belgian pet owners choose quality pet food and pet care over low prices. Premium dry dog food and premium dry cat food drove overall growth. In comparison, volume growth was negligible due to the maturity of pet care.
Natural and organic products fill the pet care environment
In Belgium, growth in natural and organic pet food was evident toward the end of the review period, with more products offering complete nutritional quality food with natural and organic ingredients and products offering functional health benefits such as improved coat, teeth, joints and brain function. In addition, more products are being made available targeting specific breeds, age, size and lifestyle of the pets.

Two multinationals, Mars and Nestlé continue to lead pet care
Belgium cat and dog food is dominated by two multinationals:
Positive outlook for forecast period
Over the forecast period, positive growth is expected to remain for pet care in Belgium, with value expected to outgrow volume sales as premiumisation remains important. Clear winners in the growth stakes remain premium dry dog and cat food as well as dog treats as pet owners rank the well being and health of their pets as increasingly high and the movement towards humanisation continues.

This was a unique decoration used at a Riviera Maya destination wedding in Playa del Carmen. The Wedding Planner used palm leaves that had been trimmed from the tree during tree maintenance, coconuts and oil lanterns to create a tropical ambiance at this beach front wedding ceremony. The Coconuts were opened by the bride and groom the next day for breakfast, the palm leaves were composted and the lanterns used for another wedding the following week. There is nothing in this sustainable wedding...

Love this bamboo door that we saw! The innovation in sustainable design is getting us excited! This concept is not new here in the Riviera Maya, bamboo doors have been used for years. What we love now is that people may be interested and more people will appreciate the use of sustainable materials for functional purposes. As fans of the outdoors and unique spaces, we were drawn to the Riviera Maya for just that, interesting use of natural materials that did not harm the environment and were...

If this photo is not a celebration of the planet earth, I am not sure what is! This tree located in the jungle in the Riviera Maya, shows the root system growing down to a cenote, for a source of fresh water. The natural wonders all over the world amaze us, but the first time we saw this, it was outstanding. The roots will burrow through pores in the limestone shelf and make their way to the water that they need! Amazing, truly how the earth will take care of all living species...

We came across this group of young children when trekking through the Yucatan. When reviewing the photo, we realized these are the faces of the Yucatan, and a really big reason why we decided to settle in the area. The Yucatan is a hop, skip and jump from the Riviera Maya and holds strong to the roots of the Maya. As a Mayan settlement area, the small towns that you come across hold generations of families who work largely in agriculture and honey. A day trip through the local roads takes you...

St. Patrick's Day is coming up this weekend so we looked for a green photo to start off the celebrations. This Tucan seen in a tree in the Riviera Maya just may get people excited about green beer and more?? Guess not but we love the green background and we love the Tucan! The Riviera Maya is home to many species of birds, the Tucan being one of over 388 species that can be found in the winter months in the area. If you travel to the Sian Kaan, a UNESCO heritage site that is the largest...

There are days when you see interesting things in the Riviera Maya and the piñata man is no exception. After a double take and little smile, our comment was, that man is efficient and resourceful. After 20 years of living in the Riviera Maya, there are some days where we still do a double take when we see something out of the ordinary. Funny enough we are noticing that we get a double take when others witness the Locogringos doing something out of the ordinary. The exception is the norm...

We all like to do the right thing, and part of the right thing, right now is to recycle as much of your waste as you can no matter where you are in the world. Plastic, paper, cans, organic waste and more can be put to good use if you know how to dispose of your garbage thoughtfully. For many Americans and Canadians, garbage separation and recycling is a way of life. You separate your garbage, put it on the curb and the city will take your recycled garbage and dispose of it for you. In Mexico,...

Valladolid is known for is Church in the main Zocalo, but Calle Frailes, the Friar's Street is one of the most beautiful streets we have seen in a while. This street is full of Spanish Architecture and is a short row of houses (now Shops) on both sides of the street. After careful restoration, the street is beautiful and soon to be the next artisans street for local artists. The owner of Coqui-Coqui in Tulum has a perfume shop on this street that leads to the Convent, and a tequila store is...

The ocean is the focus in the Riviera Maya but if you do not live by water, it can seem like a big playing field without directions. The ocean is a playground and there lots of things to do and experience in beautiful blue pool! 1. Jump waves - the nice thing about the waves in the Riviera Maya is that they are not big so anyone can jump waves, body surf or play in the Caribbean. You can spend hours on a windy day playing in the waves making this a great workout. 2. Snorkel. Guided tours...

We love this photo! A super cute Mexican little girl who we think reflects the true Mexican culture. Ditch your vision of the man sitting on the street with the sombrero. This little girl is the Mexico that we know and love. Her smile is a killer, her joy abundant. Mexican culture is a fun-loving culture that takes pride in community, laughter and fun. It has taken us a few years to understand the continued jokes and pranks that Mexicans like to play on each other. It is a sign of joy and love...

"She & her new Husband had a fantastic hassle free trip. This was their very first time to Mexico and her comment upon return was " Dad, 7 days is NOT enough time ! " Super job, LG."
--Bernie in Denver,
"I would recommend Locogringo to everyone I know. It is such a great service that they provide from researching and booking the perfect place to stay to finding all the needs you could possibly want during your stay. Thanks Locogringo."
"I had contacted you before I left for my first trip to Mexico and all of your recommendations were spot on. I started in Playa Del Carmen and worked my way to Tulum. I had only expected to stay 2 nights there and instead wound up staying for a week-and that still was not nearly enough time. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks! I will be checking in with you guys as I am tring to plan a trip to Holbox next. That place looks amazing!"
--Louis Skip Gonzalez, Unidos Magazine
"We spent a lot of our time sitting on the second floor porch with our feet propped on the railing just staring at the water. Coming home was hard this year..Staying for two weeks still wasn't long enough."
--Susan, USA
"People who "live the area" will want to make sure you enjoy your vacation and come back again!"
"Go to the home page or check the forum."
--Liz, Portland
"Loco Gringo has an AWESOME website with great info, it is lots of fun to visit, be sure to join their forums. The forums hold more information and trip reports than you can 'shake a stick at'!"
"LocoGringo.com books total trip packages and I recommend LG to all my friends and even to strangers I hear talking about going to Mexico!!"
"And their amazing website is one of the main reasons we started going regularly to the Riviera Maya and especially Akumal. No other place around the Caribbean has nearly as good a web presence as LG has given this area."
--Dan, St. Louis MO,
"Both in 2011 and this year we have booked our room through Locogringo.com. We searched and found a great rate at the resort we wanted, and then Locogringo met that price, and with their booking came their amazing customer service and the peace of mind that if we need anything while we are there we simply need to call. I always get a fast turnaround on any email I send them, and they work so hard to find us the best rates and the rooms we want. We hope to have a long relationship with them, and recommend their site to everyone we know."
--Tim A and Teri A, Salem, UT
"What an amazing company Locogringo is. Every silly question I have.... they answer , If something comes up like a travel day change, adding more people, or whatever it might be... you get a response from a real person ... who seems to love what they do . That is hard to find these days and I really appreciate that."
--Brenda, Oregon
"and for the past five years we have used Loco Gringo for every reservation, I'm sorry that we did not find them sooner.
I have been searching Loco Gringo for all these years and one thing I have not yet found ........... someone who is not fabulous to work with. Great people, great owners and a great way to run a business."
--K & DB, Outer Banks, NC,
"I will be bragging about your site to any and all who will listen. Our experience was phenomenal!!!"
--M. Palaschak,
"All our Riviera Maya trips have been booked using LocoGringo. We love their service."
--Debbie, California
"I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU! The trip we booked through Loco Gringo was perfect! The price was exceptionally good and the service was second to none! If you've never booked with Loco Gringo before, we *highly* recommend them!"
--Derek S.,
"...for your patience with me and making this process go soooo much smoother! I truly appreciate you and the staff at LocoGringo. Thanks again! I can't wait to be sitting on the beach!
Maggie in Colorado"
"Thanks for everything you have done with Locogringo… the site is great and your staff has been nothing short of incredible when it comes to helping us plan our trips. Maybe we'll run into you on one of your walks some day."
"Not sure if we will be returning next summer, but will definitely let you know if we are, as Loco Gringo is the ONLY way to go for us!"
--Lesley P., Texas
"You always recommend amazing accommodations and we are always comfortable and feel safe. Your staff does a fantastic job at making our vacation each year a " hassle free " experience ! All we have to do is " show up " and the rest is already taken care of. We will continue in future to use LocoGringo and also continue as we have done already, to highly recommend your company to anyone we know that is planning a vacation."
--Nancy & Bill, Toronto, Canada
""I was soooo delighted with the Loco Gringo services. Everything was trouble free and all my questions were always answered promptly. Thanks for a GREAT trouble free vacation!""
"When we use LG to book a trip we get immediate help with all of our questions in a very timely way by people who know what they are talking about and are extremely helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and congenial. They really get how to do customer service.
Once we book through LG we never have to worry about any of it again. We are always amazed at how smooth and trouble free our bookings through LG have been."
--K.B., Fort Worth, TX
"We have been Booking our Riviera Maya vacations from Loco Gringo since 2005. Always Great communication, helpful tips and quick responses to our questions. They were especially helpful when Hurricane Wilma hit and put a stop to our Vacation plans. They made sure we knew about the weather situation and did all the work with re-booking our vacation in Paradise!"
"Now is a great time to tell you how wonderful you and your staff are at making it so easy to find and book the best vacations, THANK YOU !"
--Joyce & Hugh,
"So here is a GREAT BIG TEXAS THANK YOU TO LOCO GRINGO for all the awesome, fantastic vacations in Paradise."
"It is like having a friend make your reservations for you .... we always feel comfortable knowing LG will be in charge of our arrangements because they know the area first hand, they live there ..... you ask a question and they answer it with good humor and great knowledge of what they speak. I will always recommend Loco Gringo in a heart beat!"
--Nancy, Michigan
"I have booked most of my Mayan Riviera trips through Loco Gringo and can only say I wouldn't even consider using anyone else to handle my bookings for stays in that area.
Their booking process is simple, fast and friendly, and they will answer your questions and queries until you are completely satisfied that every single detail has been taken care of.
Who else would know the area better than folks who live and work right there? Try to get that level of expertise and knowledge with a booking agent who lives and works several hundred, or even thousands of miles away.
Not only that, but they are genuinely nice people as well, who really care for their customers and the community and area that they call home
Keep up the great work Loco Gringo!!"
--George, Calgary
"We usually need reservations for 2 to 4 people but for 2 years we needed reservations for 7 to 9 people, adults and kids and they have always done a flawless job in getting the resort we wanted and at the best price too!!"
"A company made up mostly of American Expats living in the Riviera Maya with a booking list of many hundreds of properties. Big enough to know each property intimately and small enough to know each customer personally. A level of service simply impossible for the giant companies to provide.
--Jim T., Colorado
"It's a great comfort to visit the Riviera Maya and know that Loco Gringo is there to help, if needed. "
--Bryan in IN,
"Loco Gringos is the VERY BEST booking site I have ever worked with. They respond to emails promptly, work hard to honor special requests, answer questions etc. They ALWAYS take great care of their customers and are conscientious and professional at all times. We have booked 8 trips with this company and NEVER hesitate to use them or recommend them when traveling to the Riviera Maya."
"quick and informative replies from Bart ( thanks Bart) , easy booking procedure plus online management of your booking . I am highly impressed."
--Theressa - Middlesex U.K.,

Sammy Wilson slams Ulster Bank's £20 compensation
The Finance Minister has said the Ulster Bank's £20 compensation for customers who were affected by a major IT glitch is seen as "derisory".
Details of the compensation package were only revealed at the end of August — 10 weeks after the massive computer breakdown crisis began on June 19.
Customers were left in limbo for over a month during the debacle.
Sammy Wilson told the Assembly that £20 after the recent upheaval was "not adequate".
"I suspect that, at the end of the day, despite what Ulster Bank will do to compensate them for the problems, many people will still be very unhappy," he told MLAs.
"The important thing now is that the Financial Services Authority has demanded a review (of the crisis)... and I am looking forward to seeing that," he added.

Forget June, October is the latest iPhone 5 launch rumor with the new Apple [AAPL] smartphone set to boast a larger screen and better graphics than before, the latest reports claim.
[ABOVE: A gesture of thanks for exposing Mike Daisey? This American Life journalist, Rob Schmitz, got a tour of the iPhone factory.]
When's the best time to launch?
These launch date claims are broadly in line with what I've been expecting, even on strength of last week's claims of a June launch. It just makes more sense to introduce the new product just in advance of Christmas/Thanksgiving. Historically, that pre-season pent-up demand was part of Apple's secret recipe for the success of iPod nano sales, after all.
So, what's the latest?
Claiming insights gathered through meeting Taiwanese and Chinese component suppliers, analyst Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets claims the next-generation iPhone will offer a 4-inch screen and boast 4G LTE connectivity. He also claims Apple is developing a 7.85-inch iPad mini, though this may never see the light of day.
"In our view, this will be the most significant iPhone upgrade with a four-inch screen and a new, sleek look that we believe will require a Unibody case," he said in a research note seen by AppleInsider. "This new, sleek look will be the most important reason that consumers decide to upgrade."
Antenna attentions
Open to question is whether a Unibody design will be compatible with the need to ensure good telephone and data reception.
With that in mind it is interesting to note a September 2011 patent application for a new iPhone antenna window. In this design the antenna would slot into the chassis with a seamless, almost invisible conjoin.
(White claimed the device would go into production in June with a view to a Fall launch).
White anticipates demand for the new phone will be "extraordinary", predicting huge sales as the company's stock surges toward $1,000 per share. His predicted launch point was echoed by a South Korean report late last week.
Mobile processor divergence
Apple is also working on a new processor for its phone. According to 9to5Mac, this will be an A5X-based chip, but will have been tweaked for the smartphone, rather than the iPad. This will likely involve battery and power management tweaks and some reduction in graphics performance in order to provide good battery life, I conjecture.
It's a step toward diverting processor design along two paths in future at Apple, with one strand for smartphones the other for mobile devices, in my opinion.
Apple is testing the new processors inside iPhone 4S casings in order to try to avoid its annual lost prototype tradition. 9to5Mac notes the change in internal model number for the iPod touch as evidence that a major upgrade will also be made in that device.
What else might we expect?
- A fully-working, internationalized version of Siri
- Better support for 4G networks outside of North America
- Apple Maps
- iTunes payments support via NFC are the current expectations.
That's on top of the improved display, faster processor and battery life enhancements. And will be coupled with numerous improvements within iOS 6.

Check out our free Snowboard Addiction balance bar training video below on "How To Soften Your Landings".
We made this video for all of you snowboarders training off the snow, to improve your rail and box game like a boss! Start training now, so by winter, your muscle memory is fresh and you have tricks already locked down.
Tips For Softening Your Landings
When you first start hitting boxes and rails, your brain will most likely tell your body to react in a way that the brain thinks is safest. However, this reaction in snowboarding is not always the smartest, or the safest! Why? When you first start hitting boxes and rails, your legs will most likely straighten up, you will stiffen, and you may also push the box or rail away from you as soon as you land on it. A response from your brain to say, "this is not safe, get it away from me!"
Your brain is being simple! It doesn't know any better and is doing it's best to protect you. Unfortunately, in snowboarding, we sometimes make decisions to ignore our brain...Some good, some bad. Hitting a 100 foot cliff with no parachute would be an example of a bad time to ignore your brain. Landing on a box or rail is one of those times where it is smart to ignore the desire to stiffen up, stand tall and push your snowboard away from you!
(See the below photo of a rider with stiff legs, where the board is pushing the balance bar away)
How Do You Soften Your Landings?
Whether you are landing on a box or rail, you want to keep reminding yourself about your snowboard technique. That is, stay low, keep your knees bent and soften your landing as much as possible.
You must ensure that you have soft and flexible ankles, knees and hips when landing on a box or rail. You must absorb the impact onto the box or rail as softly and smoothly as possible.
(See the below photo, where the rider is absorbing their weight into the balance bar, making as little impact as possible by having soft ankles, knees and hips)
By absorbing this impact through your ankles, knees and hips, you lower your centre of gravity. You also absorb all the extra impact through your body so that you keep controlled, balanced and stylish for the duration of your trick.
It all comes down to repetition, which in turn will quieten the noise of the brain trying to oppose the correct snowboard technique. Acknowledging when you don't land with soft ankles, knees and hips. On the same hand, compliment yourself when you do land with the correct technique.
Ten thousand successful softer landings later, you will have your box and rail game dialled and be doing tricks you never thought possible!

I really love the new Summer 2013 Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24HR Cream-Gel Shadow. I mean like I REALLY love them. I bought four locally and drove around for an hour hitting up various drugstores and calling all Ulta's trying to locate the final two (the duochromes, obv). It ended up turning into something like "I need to find these all now because I've been driving around and I'm not NOT going to find them". It's a sick determination. Anyway, found em.
The shades are as follows: Cool Crush, Icy Mint, Lavish Lavender, Seashore Frosts, Shady Shores and Waves of White. And there are two more – Precious Peal and Blue Paradise!
The swatches above were taken outside using a flash. The swatches below were taken outside with no flash, with sort of an overcast sun thing going on:
(L-R: Waves of White, Shady Shores, Cool Crush, Seashore Frosts, Lavish Lavender and Icy Mint)
Ridiculously pretty. I can't even handle it, especially with Seashore Frosts. They all feel like a gel (solid but wet) and slick on the eye, giving enough time to blend before they set into a powder. These make fabulous bases for shadows and even alone as a wash of color. Out of all of them Icy Mint probably was the most sheer, but still clearly looks amazing.
Three are "duochromes" – Seashore Frosts, Cool Crush and Waves of White – though Seashore Frosts is the most noticeable you will be able to see the others work their chrominess better in person. Shady Shores almost appears duochrome in person as well.
What do you think? Must have? Yep.
Tips for finding them, especially if you're local to my area (Pittsburgh). Rite-Aid put these out over a week ago and Ulta even more recently. Each display had two of each color and I was told at multiple locations they weren't aware of any restocks happening. CVS and Walgreen's do not have them yet. I imagine SOON. Keep your eyes peeled and your wallets ready.
These Maybelline New York Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24HR Cream-Gel Shadow ($6.99) are limited edition and will be available at select mass retailers nationwide for the month of May 2013 only.

Suffering from Rat Nests Please help!
I have 2c hair type -- So I believe. I have been suffering for months from large rat nest knots that magically appear out of no where and turning my hair into a hot mess. I was told by one hair dresser it was because I needed a hair cut, yet when I got my hair cut, my hair continued to knot up. I went to a Devacurl hair specialist, and she told me I needed more moisture -- Great. So I proceeded at add more moisture to my hair, yet when I go to comb it out it still proceeds to be a big mess of a blob of hair.
Today after I put Deep conditioner in my hair, I let it sit for quite some time before I tried to comb it out. Yes, it was still a big blob, and right then and there I almost took the scissors to my hair and lopped it all off.
I love my hair, but enough is enough.
What am I doing wrong? After I combed my hair today, I put more deep conditioner in it, and let ti sit. I intend on washing it out again in 30 minutes.
Sounds like a protein issue to me. Try increasing moisture and eliminating protein for now.
Bad tangles can be the result of a few different things (or any combination):
Needing a trim- split ends cause more tangles and yanking at tangles causes more split ends. It's a vicious cycle
Using a product your hair doesn't like- have you determined your hair properties (texture, porosity, etc)? These can make a huge difference in the products that will and won't work for your hair. Then there are some ingredients that some people just find to be a problem for their hair for no real reason: polyquats, glycerin, magnesium sulfate, to name a few. Try to note if your hair tangles more or less with certain products and compare ingredients.
Plain old friction- are you pineappling or using a satin sleep cap or pillowcase at night?
I'm not sure if you're following CG or not, but one thing I've observed with my own hair is that I can use silicones in my styling products without any issues, but when my cleansers or conditioners contain silicones my hair feels much drier and is definitely more prone to tangles (I'm modified CG, so I do still use silicones and sulfates on occasion).

I have fine textured hair with what I believe is low porosity. I say "Believe" because I did the test for it, and it showed to be low, but my hair absorbs products like a sponge. I'll probably try this test again tomorrow.
Right now I'm using the following products : Deva One Condition, Curl Junkie Hibiscus &Banana Deep Fix Moisturizing Conditioner, Rusk Calm Cream detangler, and Deva No-poo shampoo.
..I have no idea what Pineappling is. I tend to tie my hair up when I sleep, and sometimes I use a satin pillow case. I should get a sleep cap.
I no longer use Sulfates, as I've always noticed a difference when I use them and when I don't.
Okay, looked up Pineappling. No I don't do that, but now I'll have to give it a try!
The only product I'm not familiar with is the Rusk Detangling Cream- have you verified that it's silicone free? If your hair soaks up products, especially heavier products like oils or butters it sounds more like a higher porosity. But just in case it is low-porosity, my one suggestion would be to use heat for your DTs to help your hair better absorb the moisture.
Have you tried sealing with an oil after applying your leave-in? People have lots of different favorite oils for sealing- my personal favorite is one of the more controversial ones- I apply baby oil to my underlayer, which is where oil tend to have the most issues with tangling. This one step has made a huge difference for me.
I suspect that you will also need to continue working on finding the right protein/moisture balance, but it could be that you need more of both (my hair absorbs moisture best when it's got lots of protein as well). Hair that it fine in texture and/or higher in porosity tends to like protein, although some hair might be picky about the specific types it likes. You might also want to try some other products besides Deva- I like Deva products, but I know they can cause problems for some people. A great moisturizing conditioner you can try is GVP Conditioning Balm from Sally's. For extra slip, add a bit of oil.

I just went through this and am still dealing with it - but I had to eliminate ALL protein - throw everything out and start over finding out what my hair can handle.
I had to get a major cut.
I'm still learning.
Deva would kill my hair - every single product eventually dried me out or created rat's nest hair.
It can be very frustrating, but that's why understanding your hair properties is so important. For someone with medium-coarse textured hair protein could definitely increase tangles, but for someone with highly porous hair protein will reduce tangles.
Sent from my BlackBerry 9800 using Tapatalk
Alright, I'll try a few different things. I do find that Deva products are working better than my previous products. So, maybe I'll try adding a little oil in with the mixture, the satin pillow case/cap, and a hair cut asap.
As for Silicone in products, is there a thread somewhere or information to tell how a product has silicone ?

memphis 1000d
ok i got this amp i thought i ran into every problem i could. this pic is from the out put gate resistors. every time i put the output driver card in the red and green light comes on.
Which driver board are you referring to?
1 Attachment(s)
this is at the output gate.
volts/div .2
time/div 2
1 Attachment(s)
this came from a shop so im sure some stuff was replaced on it.
Are you sure that the scope was set to 0.2v/div?
If you set it to 0.5v/div and touch it to the B+ terminal of the power supply, does the trace go off of the top of the display?
Was there an input signal or not?
You can look at the solder joints and compare it to the other driver board to determine if anything has been replaced.
yes its set to 0.2 volts/div
If you set it to 0.5v/div and touch it to the B+ terminal of the power supply, does the trace go off of the top of the display? no doesnt move.
Was there an input signal or not? no
the resistors in the picture look like one end was taken up then resolderd to the to of the board.
Is the scope set to DC coupling?
Unless you have a VERY good reason, ALWAYS leave it set to DC.
Try what I suggested again. What does the trace do.
yes the trace goes to the top now.

There was a time when I was not certain what Arnold Harrison's role was on this team. In 2001 he was criticized often by the coaches and he was out of control on the field. It was difficult watching him play recklessly.
But after a few years of growing up, Harrison has proven that players can completely turn their careers around. Harrison stepped up in the 2002 Clemson game when Tony Gilbert went down to injury. Now Harrison is the starter at the Sam spot. One did not know if he would make it out of his freshman season let alone make a successful transition from tight end to linebacker. But now Harrison is a team leader and his play on the field is passionate yet controlled.
Behind Harrison is Danny Verdun-Wheeler, a young man that played lots of minutes last season as a true freshman. If Verdun-Wheeler was not so inexperienced he would likely take the starting job over from Harrison later in the season simply on potential.
He showed tons of talent, particularly late in 2003. Verdun-Wheeler is a little bit broader than the other Will backers but he does not lack speed. He is likely the starter of the future.
His competition in the future will be Marcus Howard. The fastest Will linebacker, Howard is buried behind both Harrison and Verdun-Wheeler. But it is certainly possible that he could scratch his way to some playing time this season. Still, being the number three player at a position with very little experience means that Howard will get most of his playing time at the end of games and during special teams.
Key to this position:
Harrison must continue to play with controlled aggression. Verdun-Wheeler needs to become a playmaker.
Depth chart shuffle:
None at this position during the spring but it remains to be seen if Taylor's injury will effect this spot or not.
2004 Prediction:
Harrison and Verdun-Wheeler will be sharing a lot of time by the Tennessee game.

Chancellor George Osborne today questioned why the taxpayer should pay for benefit "lifestyles" such as those of child killer Mick Philpott.
When asked on a visit to Derby if the Philpotts were a product of Britain's benefit system, Mr Osborne said: "It's right we ask questions as a Government, a society and as taxpayers, why we are subsidising lifestyles like these.
"It does need to be handled."
He said Philpott "was responsible for horrendous crimes, crimes which have shocked the nation".
Philpott, who was jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years at Nottingham Crown Court today for killing six of his children, lived in a council house, claimed thousands of pounds in benefit and refused to get a job.
Mr Osborne spoke as he toured the Royal Crown Derby porcelain works, where he was highlighting changes announced in this year's Budget, which are designed to boost the sector.

"I got this card for my daughters 1st birthday, and I loved them! The party is rainbow theme, so they went with that. I wanted something with good quality but didn't want to pay an arm and leg! The paper the cards come on is very thick and the pictures look great! I definitely will be using tinyprints again for cards! They also got here really quick after I ordered and they come packaged in a box so they wouldn't bend before you get them! Very happy with my purchase!"
"Made this for my daughters 1st birthday invitation. Turned out so cute, everyone loved them! Excellent quality, and arrived quickly."
"My first impression of the invitation was the nice paper quality. It's thick and the flat finish absorbed the colors beautifully-- so they are true to what you see online. I tend to be drawn to simpler designs and this one was a perfect fit of cute without looking messy. I also like the way my picture cropped into the space provided."
"I used the pearl simmer paper, which was worth the extra cost. So many people called to say how fabulous the invite looked. Grandpa is even framing it."
"The design is perfect for my daughter's ballet birthday! We ordered a portrait image on the front with two smaller images on the back of the card -- one with a tutu of course! The paper quality is nice and thick."

Phili Fed Manufacturing Index Signals a Struggling Industrial Sector
The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index is a monthly survey of Philadelphia-area manufacturers. Firms report on how business conditions have changed for a number of indicators, including production, new orders, employment, prices and company outlook.
The Index is primarily a regional survey, but its key indexes are highly correlated with state-level measures of business activity and employment.
According to the Phili Fed Index, general business activity in April increased to 8.5 from 12.5 in March. This is worse than the expected estimate of 12.0. This is essentially bearish for the manufacturing sector and negative for general economic growth in the United States.
According to the report, the survey's broad indicators for general activity, new orders, shipments, and employment all remained positive but fell slightly from their readings last month.
Price pressures were only slightly more widespread this month. The survey's broad indicators of future activity remained at relatively high readings, and firms were more optimistic about their plans for hiring over the next six months.
The indexes for new orders and shipments, which decreased about 1 point, remain at relatively low readings. The indexes for current unfilled orders increased 14 points and returned to positive territory this month, suggesting a backlog of unfilled orders. Inventories were also reported on the rise this month, with the inventory index increasing 7 points.
Firms' responses suggested a notable pickup in levels of employment this month. The current employment index, which has been positive for eight consecutive months, increased 11 points, to its highest reading in 11 months.
Traders who believe that the Phili Fed Index is a leading indicator for the US economy, you might want to consider the following trades:
- Short general industrial companies (NYSE: XLI) like Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW) or Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) as these companies will benefit from increasing industrial production.
- Also, short Consumer Discretionary companies like Target (NYSE: TGT) or the Consumer Discretionary ETF (NYSE: XLY)
Traders who do not believe that the Phili Fed Index is a leading indicator for the US economy, you may consider alternative positions:
- Long Consumer Staple companies like Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and Colgate (NYSE: CL) because even if the economy is struggling, people still need to buy staple products like shampoo and toothpaste.
- Also, long big-ticket appliance makers like Whirlpool (NYSE: WHR) if the manufacturing trend is worse-than-expected, as it may be oversold.

In this video, Devils Lake, ND guide and pro Jason Feldner reveals a pattern for finding and catching numbers of white bass.
For starters, Feldner suggests targeting windblown shores and covering a lot of water with cranks. "You can cover a ton of water with a crankbait like the Lindy Shadling and vary the depth by adjusting the angle of your rod tip. Find where the wind has blown in forage like fathead minnows or young-of-the-year—and chances are you'll find schools of white bass."
In the case of famed multi-species fishery Devils Lake, North Dakota, he says the tactic is also a great way to catch walleyes, which are often found in and around the schools of white bass along the same gravel-bottom shorelines.
"It's not uncommon to catch 50-100 white bass in a day and your limit of walleyes," says Feldner. "It's a real hoot. White bass are the hardest-fighting fish I know for their size, which makes for great family fishing. Plus, they're awesome table fare."
He suggests a medium-action spinning rod and reel combo spooled with braid and a few crankbaits, typically perch, shiner and shad colors to mimic whatever predominant forage exists in your waters. "I like braid because it telegraphs so well what the bait's doing, plus these 3- to 4-pound white bass are big fighters, almost like saltwater fish. You'll need it!"
Stay tuned for a video next week, in which Jason demonstrates the best way to clean white bass for the table.

Public eye: Brett Thompson, 29
New York street interviews: Stories from the sidewalk as told by real New Yorkers about their lives in the city that never sleeps.
E 13th St between Broadway and University Pl
What are you up to? I'm about to have lunch with my wife and my son, who's six. Just a regular Sunday.
You're young for a dad of six years. It's true, I know. I feel young. Though I'm turning 30 in a few weeks.
Are you going to celebrate in a big way? Probably not. I just came back from a big vacation, so I don't think I'm going to do anything crazy. We were in Puerto Rico visiting my wife's family.
Is she Nuyorican? Yeah. Well, no, actually. She's real-deal Puerto Rican; she came to New York ten years ago. Me, I'm from New York. Well, I mean, I've been in Manhattan for 12 years, but I was raised in Rockland County, 20 miles north. So it depends on who you talk to if I'm a real New Yorker.
I think 12 years here qualifies you. Plus, the pocket square. Do you get flak for wearing a pocket square on a regular Sunday? No, I don't. I travel around the city for my job, so I'm always looking at clothing stores and thrift shops for things.
You wear it with confidence. I only feel awkward if I'm not wearing anything that stands out.
Spoken like a true modern dandy. I guess so, yeah. It all started when I came to the city for college and was suddenly exposed to so much more than I had been before.
What do you do? I'm a real-estate broker.
Enjoying the bubble that never pops? Well, I have experienced some poppage.
From a consumer's perspective, there's not much apparent poppage. Well, there was a short period of time when no one could get loans. But things do still go for a lot of money per square foot. Like, places are selling in Bushwick for over $400 per foot for a condo. This is in a neighborhood that a decade ago some people wouldn't dream of even setting foot in.
So where's the frontier these days? That's one of them. I think it'll continue to develop along the L line, as far as the DeKalb stop. Prospect Heights has changed a lot. And Ditmas Park. As for Manhattan...well...everything is already there.

Order from the happy hour menu to score select cocktails for $6 and a few beers for $5, or spring for a full-price option with some of the premium beers on tap, like Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA or Schofferhofer Grapefruit. Any good game watch requires munchies. The loaded tater tots with bacon, cheddar, sour cream and scallions ($10) or wings with buffalo, barbecue or sriracha sauce (ten for $12) might fit the bill.

LONDON, Dec. 9 -- Foreign Secretary Bevin in a foreign affairs debate today could not forbear getting his little dig in at the United States for having been such a champion of free enterprise at home and such a stickler for planning abroad.

What is the best method to weather a rotj suit??
What is the best method to weather a rotj suit??
Attachment 58592
Think about using different colors of dye as well! ROTJ flightsuits have browns in the weathering (probably because he was out in Tatooine and stuff) so show different gradients to make it look like he has been to other planets!
I agree completely with Archaster...Brown tones all the way! In fact brown tones are what I used in the ESB photo. Never use black!
yes thanks.your suit is looking great.if i have no,then...:-)
jetpack,gauntlets,boots all MOW

What games are you playing now?

I'm trying to figure out what to play next after realizing it won't be the Blade of Destiny remake.
I messed around with Baldur's Gate EE for a bit this morning. I wanted to be reminded what a
RPG felt like after playing Shadowrun Returns.
It was nice to see that all of the bugs I noticed at release have been fixed. I hope Beamdog gets their shit straightened out with Atari soon because I really want to see the things they listed for their next patch.
I also played Rise of the Triad for awhile. I'm glad I didn't pay much for that game because it's nothing like what I thought it would be. I guess I didn't really know what to expect though as I had never played the original.
It might be the "gamiest" first-person shooter I've ever played. Jumping on and off moving platforms to collect giant floating coins is not my idea of a good time. It's also a very poorly optimized game, and the mouse aiming is beyond terrible.
I might go back to Shadow Warrior Classic Redux, and Batman: Arkham Asylum is also calling my name…
