The Cadillac Seville represents everything that is great in America. This car will get you noticed, and that is a good thing. If youre the type of person who can overlook small things like a slightly cheap interior, less than excellent build quality, and the sticker price, well this is the car for you. Driving a Seville STS will have people turning heads, looking at the car over and over. It will be catching stares from people while youre washing it in the driveway. It represents power, prestige, and the sense that youve made it. Sure, you can get a Lexus, but when have you ever caught yourself staring and dreaming about a Lexus? Exactly, you havent. The Seville is a different type of animal, and its the type that I love.
The specific model Im talking about is the 2000 Seville STS. Sure, you can get the cheaper and plusher Seville SLS, but youre basically getting a Deville in re-organized packaging. When you say, Yeah I just picked up a Cadillac STS people instantly know what Im talking about. Try saying the same thing, only say Cadillac SLS. It doesnt work; people seem confused. Still, regardless of what model you pick up, this car is an excellent value on the used car market. Take my new Seville STS for example. My car is a 00 STS with 54k miles; Sterling Silver w/ Pewter interior. Fully loaded, only missing the Navigation system and sunroof. The sticker for this car brand new easily topped $52k. However, I just picked up this clean example complete with new head gaskets, water pump and motor mount for only $10,700. Yes, this 8-year-old car only cost me $10,700. Amazing, and thats only the beginning.
Cadillac was on the emergence of a great renaissance when this car was introduced in late 1997. Not only was this car a huge improvement over the already great model it replaced, it was a huge hit with automotive journalists alike. Sales, on the other hand, dropped almost 11k units in the 1998 model year. Why you ask? Price. The base price for a 98 SLS was almost $43,000 while the STS went for a staggering $46,000. This might sound reasonable to a Cadillac loyalist, but this car was up against some stiff competition. BMW had its excellent new for 97 5-series, Lexus had its ultra refined GS400, and Mercedes had its super elegant E-Series. Suffice to say, sales floundered and the car went out of production in 2004 to make way for the brand new STS (minus the Seville moniker). However, there are Seville loyalists (like myself) who think this is the best modern Cadillac yet. Sure, there are a few downsides to owning this car, but they are worth accepting.
I have to say, this is the most beautiful and elegant looking sedan to ever come out of Detroit. Hell, it may be one of the best looking cars ever put into production. Sure, the new CTS and STS are impressive efforts, but none of them do it for me like the Seville STS. The car is perfectly executed, from the front grille to the rear taillights and everything in between. Cadillac was at its absolute highest from a design standpoint when this car was put into production, and there are few cars that do it for me like the Seville does. It turns me on, no matter where I see one or what kind of mood Im in. I swear, I think I have a Seville monitor in my head, because I can always spot one coming down the road. The car looks stunning in Crimson Red, a lighter shade of burgundy, Sable Black, which is just badass. White Diamond is typical Cadillac, typically elegant. Sterling Silver is very clean, sophisticated, and sexy. Another of my favorite is Polo Green, an extremely rare color that looks black from a distance. The other colors are no match for the body of the Seville, and just dull the cars look. The 98-01 Seville SLS have a plain silver colored grille, ugly plastic molding on the bottom, and cheap wheels that look out of place on a car of this caliber. Starting in 2001, you could order a STS Appearance Package which added a body colored grille, 16 7-spoke chrome wheels, body color appearance molding, among other things. This package became standard in 2003; the STS pretty much stayed the same throughout its 5-year run, with the exception of 2001 when Cadillac offered a STS Sport Package, which offered larger 17 6 spoke wheels and other accessories. In 2002, both SLS and STS models left behind the old Cadillac logo in favor of the new Art & Science logo first introduced on the CTS. Other than this few appearance changes, there was nothing to distinguish the cars year to year. Only true Seville loyalists could spot these changes.
The interior of the Seville has its ups and downs, very unlike the exterior. At first glance, the car looks of the highest caliber, using exquisite leathers, high-end gauge clusters, smart controls, and beautiful wood trim. Unfortunately, this is quickly downplayed when looking closer. The headliner is made of a cheap, mouse like material found in Chevrolets, the plastics used on the door jams and around the console area is GM Corporate, which means of the lowest caliber. You can pull the A-pillar material off with one hand, and the weather-stripping around the door needs to be reattached on several occasions. However, none of this really matters to me. If I would have paid $53k for the car brand new, yeah I would have been disappointed with the materials. However, Im not complaining one bit at $10k. Another thing Im not complaining about is the features. Damn, this car really brings a new meaning to the phrase fully loaded. Power leather memory seats, Bose 425 watt sound system, 6-disc CD changer, and optional navigation system. Sure, most modern cars have self parking assistance, lane change warning and other useless crap you dont need, but for a late 90s car the Seville has everything a person would want. Im personally the most fond of the Bose stereo, which I have still not found a suitable match for. Even the new STS with its 15-speaker system still cant match the Seville for sound quality. This blows the competition away of the same area, with the exception being the LS400s Nakamichi sound system. However, you might not need the Bose system at all
You might instead be listening to the Cadillac Northstar V8. Yes, the engine that practically saved Cadillac in the early 90s is installed beneath the bonnet of this sexy machine. All 300 horses are driven through the front wheels, and its probably one of the best exhaust notes this side of a Ferrari or Porsche. The car has a typical V8 snarl when being started up, but it really shines when you floor it. You can get some serious trouble when driving this car. Most Sevilles never have the chance to be driven hard, since they are owned by old ladies driving to church. For this single reason, is why most people experience problems with the Northstar engine. The engine is extremely reliable if well maintained. The key to a strong running Northstar is changing the coolant. GM recommends the Dex-Cool get changed every 5-years/150k miles; I wouldnt go by this, I would get it done every 3-years/48k miles. This way, you dont have to worry about the engine blowing a head gasket. Also doing regular WOT (Wide Open Throttle; a.k.a mash that bitch to the floor) will help keep all the carbon deposits cleaned out. Do those few things (along with changing the oil of course) and you should be able to get 200k or more miles out of the Seville and its Northstar.
Ok youve heard me ramble on about the seductive styling, nicely laid out interior, and powerful engine, so how does it drive? Well, what do you think? Its a Cadillac, so it has a smooth ride that soaks up the bumps like no other. Its not super soft like the Deville, but no overly hard like the CTS. The ride motions are well controlled, and the handling is superb for such a heavy FWD sedan. It takes the corners with ease, and there is little understeer to be detected. However, if you want BMW handling this isnt your car. The car does have a little more body roll than your average sports luxury sedan, but it isnt anything 90% of people complain about. It feels confident throughout the ride, and the only hint of torque steer is when mashing the accelerator when exiting a corner. Overall, I give it a 7.5/10. In late 2002, Cadillac introduced the Magneride suspension for the Seville STS (and to be introduced on the 50th Anniversary Corvette) and was a marvel if anything. It uses a special fluid to adjust shock rates depending on the road. From what I have read, handling was largely improved and finding a late example 03 STS is the best deal on the luxury market today. I havent had a chance to drive a Magneride equipped car, but I hope to in the near future.
The Cadillac Seville STS represents the best value on the used luxury car market today. Modern styling, loads of electronic goodies, powerful Northstar engine, great handling, and a low price makes the car the best of the best. You can find plenty of low mileage, good conditioned cars for under $10k. The 03 STS w/ Navigation, Sunroof, and around 40k miles will set you back a very reasonable $15k. Not a bad deal for a car that stickered for near $60k when it was put to sleep. Now, I have an assignment for you: find a low mileage Lexus GS400, BMW 540i, or Mercedes E420 w/50k miles for under $14k. Might be a little harder than you think

Homebuilder Confidence in U.S. Climbs to Six-Month High
Confidence among U.S. homebuilders rose more than forecast in July, reaching the highest level in six months, as growing payrolls brightened the outlook after a shaky first half.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo sentiment measure climbed to 53 from 49 in June, the Washington-based group reported today. Readings above 50 mean more respondents said conditions were good. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists projected it would rise to 50.
The housing market is showing signs of improvement after higher mortgage rates and harsh winter weather stalled the recovery earlier this year. A strengthening labor market, combined with wage gains and rising consumer sentiment, will probably support further progress in the industry as the Federal Reserve winds down its unprecedented stimulus program.
"If you're thinking about buying a home, it's a pretty good time," said Brian Jones, a senior economist at Societe Generale in New York, who correctly forecast in the jump in builder sentiment. "You get employment going, you're in the midst of a fairly low interest rate environment and home affordability is actually pretty high."
The Standard and Poor's 500 Homebuilding Index jumped after the report, reversing earlier losses, climbing 1.3 percent to 604.35 at 10:16 a.m. in New York.
Estimates in the Bloomberg survey for the homebuilder sentiment index ranged from 48 to 53. June's reading was unrevised, the report showed.
Sales Outlook
The measure of the six-month sales outlook rose to its highest level since September, climbing to 64 this month from 58 in June.
An index of current single-family home sales increased to 57, the best reading since January, from 53, while the group's gauge of prospective buyer traffic rose to 39 from 36.
Builder confidence strengthened in all four U.S. regions, with the West rising to 59, the highest in six months, from 53. The Midwest climbed to 53 in July from 47 the month before, while the Northeast rose to 37 from 34. In the South, the measure advanced to 53 from 52.
"An improving job market goes hand-in-hand with a rise in builder confidence," David Crowe, chief economist at the builders association, said in a statement. "As employment increases and those with jobs feel more secure about their own economic situation, they are more likely to feel comfortable about buying a home."
Hiring Gains
Payrolls rose by 288,000 in June following a 224,000 gain the prior month that was bigger than previously estimated, Labor Department figures showed earlier this month. The unemployment rate fell to an almost six-year low of 6.1 percent.
Borrowing costs have also stabilized in recent weeks after climbing in the second half of 2013. The average 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was 4.15 percent in the week ended July 10, down from 4.53 percent at the start of January, according to data from Freddie Mac in McLean, Virginia.
KB Home (KBH) is among builders seeing gains from the recovery in residential real estate. The Los Angeles-based company reported a profit for its fiscal second quarter as selling prices and orders increased.
While borrowing rules remain strict, "we are seeing signs of loosening among the mortgage companies, and in our served markets, we are beginning to see evidence of the re-emergence of the first-time homebuyer," Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Mezger said in a June 27 conference call. "While these favorable trends are very encouraging, it is still going to take some time until we reach historical new home activity levels."
Housing Data
Today's homebuilder sentiment report is the first in a string of housing data in the coming days. A report tomorrow is projected to show builders broke ground on 1.02 million homes at an annualized rate in June after May's 1 million pace, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey before figures from the Commerce Department. Data on existing and new-home sales are scheduled for next week.
Central bank policy makers are closely monitoring progress in the housing market as they close in on their 2 percent goal for inflation and their full employment estimate.
"Significant slack" remains in labor markets, and rates are likely to stay low for a "considerable period" after bond purchases end, which could happen after the Fed's October meeting, Chair Janet Yellen said yesterday in remarks to the Senate.
"There are mixed signals concerning the economy," Yellen said in response to questions. "We need to be careful to make sure that the economy is on a solid footing before raising interest rates."

Locals to battle at Steamboat Springs tennis tournament
Event features more than 120 players
November 12, 2010
If you go
What: Steamboat City Singles and Doubles Tennis Championships
When: 4 p.m. today through 2 p.m. Sunday
Where: Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs
Steamboat Springs — Some tournaments at the Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs pit locals against regional rivals. Others set children against one another in lighthearted matches, and much of the play that goes on is more about burning calories than firing forehands.
The Steamboat City Singles and Doubles Tennis Championships, which begin at 4 p.m. today and run through the weekend, are not about laughs and pats on the back, however.
"A lot of our tennis here is social," tournament director Jim Swiggart said. "This tournament, though, is the culmination for the year for competition. Those in town who like to compete sign up for this one."
That prospect apparently appeals to a large number of people.
This year's brackets will include 122 players, a record field encompassing players in eighth grade and older.
The biggest names playing in Steamboat tennis will be on hand for the tournament, which should wrap up its final rounds at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Defending overall champ Greg Sussman, one of the Tennis Center's pros, will play.
Steamboat Springs High School seniors Keegan Burger and Jack Burger will play after deep runs in this year's Class 4A state tennis tournament.
Top competition will come from Louis Nijsten, the No. 2 seed in the Men's Masters bracket, who beat Sussman in the tournament a year ago, and Grice Hooker and Jeff Oehrlein, who, with the Burger brothers, round out that bracket.
Laurie Buelow, Fabiola Katthain and Christi Valicenti will battle it out in the top women's division.
More than 100 other players will try their chances in 16 divisions of singles and doubles tennis.
The event is free to watch.
"The courts are completely booked, and we have a great draw," Swiggart said.

In Rural Metro, Rochester, drug overdose incidents are fast becoming a normal occurrence as an astounding 1,600 calls a year, or 3 to 5 calls a day, are received for ambulance assistance due to overdose related cases. From the total number of calls made, more than a hundred involve kids and young adults aged 10 to 20 years old.
This is why the Rural Metro has partnered with the notMYkid organization, a group campaigning against teen addiction, to address the alarming situation.
Through their initiative, 500 free home drug testing kits, with the capacity to determine 12 kinds of drugs including prescription medications, will be made available for parents in the Rochester region at no cost.
From marijuana to Oxycontin, parents will be able to identify which drug their kids are hooked on in minutes using the home testing kits.
Rural Metro General Manger Thomas Bonfiglio said the kits can even be used to open communication lines between parents and their children before drug complications can happen in the family. "Sometimes having this kit will create conversation to prevent from getting into in the first place," Bonfiglio claimed.
The earlier partnership of the Rochester Police Department and DePaul National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence supported the idea of giving drug testing kits to the community. According to Jennifer Faringer who heads the DePaul National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence in Rochester, many parents worry about their kids when it comes to drug issues, and so the kit will be a very useful tool for these concerned parents.
Starting April 21, the kits will be made available in the Rochester area. Parents can visit various locations, including the Rochester Police Headquarters on Exchange Boulevard and the DePaul Council at 1931 Buffalo Road, to take advantage of the free drug testing kits.


text: In 1994, ECM's first collaboration between Norwegian jazz saxophonist Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble (Officium) took audiences by storm. Garbarek's free improvisation around four voices singing early polyphony caught the market for chanting monks and high-class musak. Then came Mnemosyne (1999), mixing ancient and modern. Now a third, Officium Novum, unites east and west with Byzantine chant, Pérotin and the rich colours of the Armenian priest-composer Komitas Vardapet (1869-1935). It's the successful recipe with spicier flavourings. If you liked it before, you will again. If not, ditto.

Security expert, Karl Sigler, presents an interesting look into what a potential attacker sees and how math is on their side when a user uses 4 unique digits. In his article, Sigler points out that the residue from our fingers often leaves visible traces on the glass that narrows down the digits used in the PIN.
When changing that PIN to repeat one number, so for example let's say the smudge marks on the phone are over 6, 8, and 9, the attacker now needs to determine which number is the one that repeats. This small change now makes the number of possible PINs rise to 36, which is a 50% improvement in security of a unique 4-digit PIN.
While this won't protect you in a case of theft, it may buy you some time in a case when a nosey coworker, friend, or family member attempts to brute force into your phone while you step away for a few minutes.

Day 8 of the 2014 World Cup continued to entertain as Luis Suarez ruined England's World Cup hopes.
The Liverpool striker scored twice in a 2-1 win for Uruguay which left the Three Lions hoping for favours from Italy.
Elsewhere, Colombia booked their place in the second round with a 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast with more excellent celebrations.
In the evening's late, late kick off Japan and Greece played out a bore draw that left the European's hopes of qualifying very slim indeed.
More goals and entertainment from a tournament that is shaping up to be one of the best ever.


text: YouTube launched back in early 2005 as a video-sharing website. A lot has happened since then. The company was acquired by Google in 2006 and since then it has only exploded in popularity with new features and redesigns. As of March 2013, over 1 billion unique visitors use YouTube monthly. Which is a shame with all the recent controversy surrounding an official app on Windows Phone.

Moneylife Foundation was joined by members of All India Bank Depositors' Association, Mumbai Grahak Panchayat, All India Bank Employees' Association and Mumbai Mahanagar Vyapari Seva Parishad in its campaign against the RBI's foolhardy proposal to disincentivise the issuance and usage of cheques. The participants are in the process of framing points of action against the RBI move as well several other anti-consumer initiatives of banks
Moneylife Foundation hosted members of few associations as well as a activists at its Knowledge Centre to discuss the move of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and ministry of finance to levy charges on cheque usage. Opinions both for and against the move were discussed and then seriously deliberated for nearly two hours. The consensus appeared to be the same that Moneylife has been voicing since this issue came to light, that the move is premature, ill-conceived, impractical and hugely detrimental to the interests of consumers.
Sucheta Dalal, trustee of Moneylife Foundation, said, "We have already forwarded a memorandum to the RBI discussing our objections to the proposal. We've told them why online transactions are difficult. Not just senior citizens, literate persons are also often not tech savvy. Bank chairmen don't know how to make transfers. When I talked with a member of parliament (MP), he didn't know what NEFT or RTGS were. But we're still being made to do it."
Ms Dalal added that even though the banking system has technology at its disposal, bureaucracy continues to exist. There is an endless list of forms that need to be filled before electronic payments are approved and they need to be given physically. She also said that with this move, only banks stand to benefit. If people stop using cheques, it benefits the bank and if they don't, the banks can earn money on it. With this, members of other associations were called upon to speak.
SS Bhandare, chairman, All India Bank Depositors' Association then discussed the why incentivisation must be favoured over disincentivisation. He said, "It's clearly a premature effort and a work-in-progress. There must certainly not be penalisation for simple use of a cheque. It's unclear why such an audacious move is being made by the RBI, when its own study has shown that the bulk of the population that uses the banking system still prefers cheque payment."
It was also reported by Moneylife how the decision to discourage cheque usage was scrapped even in the UK . Chartered accountant Nagesh Kini said, "Soon after I read the proposal, I submitted my comments to the consumer services department, but have not yet received an acknowledgement. India is just not geared to take this up. It was after all rejected in the UK, where the per capita income and literacy are higher. Even if the move appears to have worked in Ireland, quoting the example of such a small country makes no sense."
A brief discussion then ensued about the need for a systematic study on the matter. It was suggested that the RBI take into account not only numbers but values and work toward a responsible system.
Shrikant Soman, secretary of the Council for Fair business Practices, then discussed the confusing signals being sent out by banks. He said, "Online and electronic payments are convenient and should be encouraged. And they are being used. For the past 10 years, it has been growing at a steady 30%. This should be enough. Yet the plan is to make cheques costly suddenly. The new proposal seeks to charge also the recipient of a cheque, which is absurd. This will certainly make people go back to cash. People will take the charge on cheques as a bad sign and go back to cash. So these are confusing signals."
The failure of financial inclusion was discussed by Ms Vasundhara Deodhar of the Mumbai Grahak Panchayat. She said, "I agree with all that has been said so far. I want to add, though, that financial inclusion has not made much progress here. There has been limited effort and even that has not stabilised yet. The masses now need the banks for direct subsidy and cash transfer. This has just begun. It would be detrimental to push them also toward electronic payment at the same time. ECS is also not functioning as smoothly as claimed. Disincentivising cheque payment would be detrimental to the interests of the consumer."
One member of the All India Bank Depositors' Association, Ashish Das, however, found the proposal to be a good move by RBI. He said, "I think that there is a problem with the naming of the document. It should have used the word incentivisation, not disincentivisation. It, in fact, makes some good points. It says that all PSBs must make NEFT free if the transaction is of less than Rs1 lakh and 90% have already done so. Also, I think the problem of lack of knowledge on how to use these systems can be solved by teaching bankers how to use it."
Mr Das' contentions were, however, challenged by nearly every other participant. The fact that 90% of PSBs had made NEFT free was challenged. Also, the fact that training bank employees to handle RTGS and NEFT would solve the matter was challenged. The downsides to electronic payment, including the security risks, were then highlighted.
Some methods of electronic payment require the memorization of 16-digit numbers. If this number is written incorrectly, it will take a long time to recover. Rajendra Thacker of the Mumbai Mahanagar Vyapari Seva Parishad, gave an example of a client of his whose phone line was cut after ICICI Bank itself incorrectly entered the 16-digit code he had written correctly. Debashis Basu, trustee of Moneylife Foundation, also spoke about the inherent difficulties in running a business when one has to keep making online and electronic transactions himself.
Vishwas Utgi, chairman, All India Bank Employees' Association, then discussed why basic banking services should be free of cost to consumers. He said, "Until 10 years ago, public sector banks gave all basic services free of charge. Then they started charging for every small thing. And it may get worse. PSBs have recently received a mandate to increase revenues from bank charges to 70% from 30% . I find the concept of these charges unbelievable. Depositors are providing banks with cheap money. They should not be charged. Part of the reason for the focus on electronic payments is that there is a vendors' lobby in existence that wants technology companies to play a larger role."

Series Recap: Mets Swept By The CardsApril 24, 2009
The New York Mets were swept in St. Louis, dropping their record to 6-9 and they have lost 4 in a row. Below is a video recapping the series and a look ahead to this weekend.
If your having trouble viewing this video, try the Quicktime version
Series Take-Aways:
- Concerned About the Starting Pitching: Johan Santana is the only sure thing in the Mets rotation at this point. If the Mets are going to seriously contend this year, someone else in that starter pitching staff is going to need to have a good season. At this point, I have no idea who that will be..
- Met Offense: This seems to be a reoccurring theme in my series recaps. I said it before the start of the season that I was most concerned about the offense. The offense is leaving too may men on base. The Mets are not going to get hot and go on a winning streak if this offense doesn't turn around.
Who's Hot and Who's Not:
- Who's Hot? How about Carlos Beltran? Beltran is batting .404 and had 8 hits in the Cardinals series.
- Who's Not? How about David Wright? Only 6 RBI's on the season and is not hitting with RISP.
Next Up For The Mets:
- The Mets come home for three against the Washington Nationals. The goal this weekend is simple: Sweep Washington and end this loosing streak.
Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. Also, don't forget to check out my post on the Doc Gooden Q & A.

Mayor Rob Ford is preparing to meet his council critics head on, moving a debate over his behaviour to the top of this week's meeting agenda.
"Let's get it on," Mr. Ford told reporters Monday, in reference to his decision to make the motion addressing his leadership one of his key items when council meets Wednesday.
The decision means the debate over concerns about him continuing as mayor will be one of the first items on council's agenda. The designation also means Mr. Ford will face questions from council on his conduct and integrity following his admission last week that he smoked crack cocaine in a "drunken stupor," after months of denial.
The motion by Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, a former ally of the mayor, asks Mr. Ford to apologize for misleading Torontonians about the existence of a video in which he is alleged to have smoked crack cocaine; to co-operate with police; and to take a leave.
Mr. Minnan-Wong also has signalled his intention to amend his motion on the council floor to ask the province to step in and remove the mayor from office if he will not go voluntarily.
Mr. Ford continues to resist calls for him to take a leave and has refused requests from police to answer questions.
"I'm not going anywhere, guaranteed," he told one supporter as he walked back to City Hall Monday after delivering the address at a Remembrance Day ceremony.
Mr. Minnan-Wong said as long as Mr. Ford is in the mayor's office he will continue to be a distraction to city business. His actions also mean he can no longer speak "with any type of moral authority" on issues of crime and safety or drug use, he said.
"I think it's critically important that council speaks with one voice to say what he's done is wrong, that he should be going to the police and co-operating, that he should apologize and fundamentally that he should go, take a leave of absence, remove himself from council while he gets the help that he needs," Mr. Minnan-Wong said.Report Typo/Error

Mayhem # 2684
About Me
**First off, thanks for stopping in to check out my profile.**
I have set modeling on the back burner for now to complete my aviation degree here in Grand Forks, ND (let's be honest, who wants to drive up into frozen tundra to do a shoot). I stop in from time to time mostly for networking purposes, but I have little to no personal time as is, which makes everything extra extremely difficult to work in. Not to say I won't do a shoot, but my availability is very limited.
I am/was an aspiring model from Minneapolis, Minnesota (I haven't done any modeling in a few years now, but wouldn't turn down a good opportunity/fun time). As a college student, I work part-time in modeling, DJing, graphic artwork (as seen below), am a vet, and also have done many promotional assignments around the area.
I'm open to anything really. I am willing to travel upon an agreement of expenses depending on the location and the pay of the assignment. I am also interested in TFP's if you've got a style/quality that I believe will bring light to a portfolio. New ideas and suggestions are always welcome as well.
I'm a very open guy with personable attributes and I love to work with new people. I look forward to meeting and working with various photographers, as well as other models. Most of all, I want to gain additional experiences, and have fun while I'm at it. If you are an out of town photographer, and you are coming to MN, please let me know prior to your departure. I DJ, so my schedule is wide open during the day.
If you would like to work with me, please don't hesitate to send a message my way. Thanks!
I have the largest active modeling group on MySpace, (http://groups.myspace.com/AllForModelz - 25,000+ members)
and it's only getting bigger. Be sure to stop in if you're looking for additional models or photographers.
P.S. - I pre-apologize if I don't accept your friend request, but I am not on here to see how many friends I can get. I accept invites from those who's work/style impresses me, and to locals strictly for connection purposes to others around the area. If you send me a message with the intent of your request, I will opt to give it further thought. If I send you a request, that means I either like your work, or would like to work with you.
I do graphic artwork, so if you are looking for a background to a website or something to that effect (ie. desktops, touchups, alterations), please message me and give me an idea of what you would like and what kinds of photos I am dealing with (I usually request photos in higher resolution since your look and my work are both dependant on it). I have a few samples below if you would like to see them. THANKS!
(Please keep in mind that these wallpapers are just samples and are downsized to fit the page. They may look distorted or discolored at these dimensions. If you would like a full desktop size of any of these, please contact me.)

World's Largest Chess Piece
On Monday, May 7th at 9:00 a.m., the unveiling of the World's Largest Chess Piece, located between the World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF) and the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis (CCSCSL), was one of the many events marking the opening day of the 2012 U.S. Chess Championships. The city of Saint Louis has hosted this prestigious tournament since 2008.
The unveiling ceremony included a welcoming by Tony Rich, executive director of the CCSCSL; remarks by Rex and Jeanne Sinquefield, founders of the CCSCSL and WCHOF; and an announcement by Mayor Slay declaring May 7th, 2012 as "Gateway to Chess Day" in Saint Louis.
A perfect, large-scale version of a "Championship Staunton" king, the record-breaking chess piece was a joint effort between the WCHOF and the CCSCSL. Here are some facts about it:
The piece is approximately 45 times the size of a standard king, stands 14' 7" tall, and the base measures 6' in diameter. If a board was built to proporional size, it would be 72' x 72' with 9' squares.
The board could hold:
· 82,944 baseballs: just under 3" diameter
· 392 bath tubs: 5' x 2.5'
· 18 average size swimming pools: 24' × 12'
· Nine school buses: 40' x 8'
· Professional basketball hoop (10 feet)
· An average female giraffe (14 feet)
· The Statue of Liberty's fingernail (13 feet)
· The piece would not fit under most overpasses in Saint Louis (standard city underpass is 14 feet)
In addition to the unveiling of the World's Largest Chess Piece, the opening ceremony for the U.S. Chess Championships will mark the beginning of the Championship games. The event is set to take place at the Missouri Botanical Gardens on May 7th.

Megan Fox's Little Dom's Lunch Date with Brian Austin Green
Posted Friday April 20, 2012 3:46 PM GMT
Enjoying an afternoon date with her man, Megan Fox lunched with hubby Brian Austin Green at Little Dom's restaurant in Los Feliz, California today (April 20).
The "Transformers" stunner kept it casual for for her midday outing, sporting a baseball cap, black t-shirt, purple-hued sweat bottoms and a pair of fuzzy footwear.
The spotting comes amidst ongoing rumors that the 25-year-old bombshell and the former "90210" hunk are expecting their first child together.
Despite the pregnancy chatter, Fox is looking at trim as ever - all while remaining silent on any baby bump speculation.
Enjoy the pictures of Megan Fox out in Los Feliz with Brian Austin Green (April 20).

So this time last week I was on my way to Edinburgh and the Edinburgh International Book Festival for the second time ever in my career. And to be honest, I was terrified. The Festival is one of the most prestigious and important book festivals in the entire calendar, and people come from all over the world to attend, either as guests or [&hellip
So I was having a conversation in a bar in San Diego with what I would call an A-list writer, and we were discussing conventions. He turned to me and said 'don't you hate it when fans come up to you at a convention when you're off duty and hassle you?' I said no, I didn't hate that. And I went on [&hellip
In two weeks from now, I'll be in Edinburgh, as a guest of the Edinburgh International Book Festival. I'm doing a talk with Dan Boultwood on the series of Sherlock Holmes: The Baker Street Irregulars books we did this year for Franklin Watts / EDGE, interviewed on stage by the wonderful children's author Philip Ardagh, best known for his Eddie Dickens books, and such a far [&hellip
So, since I've returned from the San Diego Comic Con, a ton of people have been contacting me regarding the news that I'm doing a five part MacGyver series with creator Lee David Zlotoff, and the Eisner winning artist extraordinaire Becky Cloonan. Many of the emails , tweets and texts have been from people in shock, stunned that such a thing could happen. I mean, it's [&hellip

Cape Cod
When I was growing up, my family spent 2 weeks each summer in Eastham on Cape Cod and from 1971 to 1984 my parents lived there. My favorite towns to stay in are Wellfleet, Truro, Eastham, and Orleans. Late June shouldn't be too bad on the Cape.
Things to do:
One morning get up well before sunrise and drive to the Truro sand dunes and walk out towards the ocean and watch the sunrise.
Go to Rock Harbor in Eastham/Orleans and watch the sunset. Also go late in the morning to see the fishing boats return.
Definitely got to Provincetown and walk the main street. Sometimes the most interesting thing to see is the tourists who've com to see the scene. Eat a meal, prefereably dinner, at Ciro and Sal's. It's been around since at least the 60's and now run by Ciro's daughter. Make sure you get some fried clams. There's a great seafood place on the eastside of Rte 6 in North Eastham, it's called Nauset ?? and get a steamed lobster. Or you can get a steamed lobster to go either there or at the lobster place near the Rite-Aid in Orleans.
Definitely go to either Coast Guard Beach or Nauset Light Beach and go for a long walk along the shore. Also the there bayside beaches that are good -- My favorite is First Encounter Beach in Eastham. Take the walk at the Redwood Marsh and checkout the view behind Captain Penneyman's house -- both are of the east side of Rte 6 between the Orlean's Circle and the Eastham Post Office.
p You will enjoy driving along Rte 28 and Rte 6A, lots of old bookstores, quaint shops and smaltzy gift shops. Your kids might hate this part.
For bayberry candles, pine incense, etc. go to the oulet store. One is in Orleans on 6A as you head out of town and there's another one in Hyannis. Have a great time. Andrea (4/99)

Power Generation
For a large power generation project based in the Middle East.
Hyspecs have supplied 33 hydraulic powerunits with interconnecting
pipework and assisted our customer to pass factory acceptance
The initial requirement was to have a hydraulic system to open
and close a huge exhaust gas diverter doors, which weighed several
tons. The system required multiple contingencies and backups, as
well as the need for fail safe controls in the unlikely event
should something fail. The doors needed to close at a constant
repeatable speed and should an emergency arise be able to be closed
rapidly with or without power onsite.

LNG Project - Crane
HYSPECS Melbourne was contracted by one of
Australia's leading crane manufacturers to supply 4 hydraulic
powerunits (HPU's) and associated valving to power their luffing
jib cranes. These cranes form part of a large liquid natural gas
(LNG) project in Australia.
The HPU's were designed, manufactured and tested in-house at
HYSPECS premises in Dandenong, VIC before being shipped. The cranes
operate in a hazardous area defined as IEC Ex Zone 2, so the
electrical equipment supplied was required to meet this standard.
To reduce the electrical explosion proof content with its high
costs a hydraulic pilot system was designed to operate the crane
and control the working limits.
Grape Harvester - Nairn
Harvesters Ltd
When Hydraulic Specialties was
approached by the production manager at Nairn Harvesters Ltd to
offer a drive system for their latest grape harvester there were 2
key criteria they stressed to us: delivery needed to be short as
the customer had requested delivery of the completed machine in
under 2 months, and the system needed to work well right from the
start (there was no time for trial and error).
Machine Requirements:
• 4-wheel drive system with anti-skid
• Harvesting at a speed of 6km/hr on a gradient of up to
• The machine would be able to climb a gradient of nearly
• Under ideal harvesting conditions it is capable of removing up
to 28,000kg of grapes off the vine per hour
• Top road speed of 32km/h (could be 39 km/h with a different
gearbox/pump arrangement)
Fishing Vessel Conversion - Austral Leader 2
The Hyspecs service team was involved
in the complete conversion of the fishing vessel, Austral
Leader 2 from a purse seiner net fisher to a long liner. The job,
in summary, was the refitting of a vessel to a line hauler and pot
hauler for the Patagonian tooth fish for which our customer fishes
in the South Atlantic.
It involved several stages and over 1500 hours work by our
service technicians over the course of around 8 weeks. Not only
were we providing new equipment but also had to utilise existing
hydraulic components.
I would like to thank you for the
prompt and professional service you have provided regarding the
hydralic motor and gear box I have recently purchased. After
having experienced a number unsatisfactory outcomes from
other businesses in recent times it was refreshing to
deal with both an individual and company that is so customer
focused. Callum Molloy Ltd -

Eric F.wrote a review of Crank Brothers Egg Beater 3 Stainless Pedals on August 16, 2011
Egg Beater 3 Pedals
My experience may be much different than yours. Most people love these pedals. I purchased these for a Bacchetta Corsa recumbent bike. Because it is a little difficult for a newbie to get started and clip in on a recumbent (especially uphill), a four-sided pedal can be a big advantage. A lot of recumbent riders use them. The Egg Beater 3s work fine, but I don't think I clip in any faster than I did with my Ultegra SPD-SL pedals. Part of the problem may be a modification of my right shoe to account for a leg length discrepancy. My cleat is on a 3/8" platform made from hard rubber, which sort of guided in the SPD-SL pedal, but does not aid in guiding in the EB cleat. I end up fishing around to clip in. I also use the road cleat adapters.
As for pedaling, I don't feel any hot spots. They are comfortable with my Sidi Genius 5 Pro shoes. I have never accidentally unclipped. The pricing was great and delivery very prompt.

Department Chair / Microbial Ecology
384 Supple Science Building
I am a microbial ecologist using molecular techniques to study uncultured microorganisms in aquatic and terrestrial environments. During the last years, I have mainly addressed questions on the ecology of nitrogen-fixing actinomycetes of the genus Frankia and their host plants, but was also involved in studies on invertebrate-microorganism interactions, the ecophysiology of uncultured purple sulfur and sulfate-reducing bacteria, the role of microorganisms in bioremediation of organic and inorganic contaminants, or the fate of pathogens in the environment.

Frankia-actinorhizal plant symbiosis (PDF) Activities in this area mainly deal with the assessment of the diversity of frankiae in different soils (in collaboration with Dr. Mark Paschke, CSU), of saprophytic growth of selected Frankia strains and concomitant consequences for root nodule formation on actinorhizal plants (in collaboration with Dr. Jeffrey Dawson, UIUC), and with the development of qPCR assays for the quantification of indigenous and introduced frankiae in soils.
Ecology of pathogens (PDF) Studies on pathogens in the environment have been initiated relatively recently at Texas State University in collaboration with Dr. Michael Forstner (genetics, herpetology), Dr. Francis Rose (herpetology) and Dr. Tim Bonner (ichthyology). Two different organisms are currently investigated: 1. bacteria of the genus Salmonella, a large group of enteric bacteria that are associated with a broad range of hosts including humans, and 2. fungi (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) that have been implicated as major contributor for significant declines in populations of amphibians worldwide.
Additional projects on pathogens include the detection of Chagas disease in rat species throughout Texas, and the analyses of mongooses and rats from Costa Rica for Leptospira sp. (both in collaboration with Dr. Ivan Castro-Arellano, Wildlife Ecology).
Other activities cover projects performed in collaboration with scientist of different disciplines (e.g. Identification of microbes in corroding concrete, Jiang Hu [Concrete Technology] and Walter Rudzinski [Chemistry]; Platform development for the detection of biospecies, Haim Grebel [Electronic Imaging Center, NJIT]; Succession of yeasts during mescal production, Claudia Patricia Larralde-Corona [CBG-Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Reynosa, Mexico]).
Research activities and interests in the past have covered additional areas and topics. None of these topics, however, is currently part of major research activities.

Governors Ball 2013 will be one of the best festivals this summer. Here's everything you need to know about the NYC festival, from the lineup, ticket prices, transportation and more.
Former G'n'R guitarist Izzy Stradlin joined frontman Axl Rose onstage in Las Vegas for a partial reunion of the band.
The Guns N' Roses frontman doesn't usually give interviews, so this should be good.
Ever Axl ever decides to incorporate some polka into his current GNR mutation, we know just who to call. The guy is a beast!

Now, it doesn't make any sense to fight a patent dispute with the argument of "but it doesn't sell well," but context is what really matters. The Samsung lawyer response about the "minuscule" sales came after Apple lawyer Mark Perry stated that the Galaxy Nexus "was the top of the line, Cadillac phone they trotted out to compete with the iPhone." Samsung definitely doesn't feel that way about the Nexus, and this was clear in its lawyer's statement. The true iPhone competitor in sales is clearly the Galaxy S III, or Galaxy S II if we look back one year.
Samsung also said it sold only $250 million worth of the Galaxy Nexus in the first two quarters of the year, while Apple grossed $16.2 billion on iPhones in the last quarter alone.
So basically, now Samsung is arguing that the court should overturn its order for Samsung to stop selling the Nexus in the United States because it is not a direct competitor to the iPhone. How do you feel about the logic of those statements and having the Galaxy Nexus on sale?

Zinédine Zidane didn't crop up at the meeting. But he would have been a perfect illustration of the message: that kids from dead-end homes can be saved from a life of crime, or, if they start offending anyway, can still be saved. For most Guardian readers this is a truism. For the leader of the Tory party to admit it is like the new secretary of the Flat Earth Society conceding that New Zealand exists.
The conference was titled Thugs - Beyond Redemption? As I arrived there were two redeemed thugs at the lectern. They were amiable brothers who seem to do a lot of this sort of thing. One of them explained that his life of crime had been caused by his mother's treatment. "I was abused by my mum, who was - she still is - an adult. I had this mistrust of adults, I thought if my mum could treat me so bad, what would other adults do? It's about surviving, really." The audience sighed with agreement.
The chairwoman announced that David Cameron was not yet there. She declared "a short wriggle break". I had never heard a pee described in this way, but it would be a good metaphor for the current situation in the Tory party.
Mr Cameron arrived. He chanced his arm a little by saying that the film about wasted teenage lives, Kidulthood, was "set in my own neighbourhood in London - North Kensington, Ladbroke Grove" - where "it is frightening for a man in a suit to walk down certain streets at night".
Mmm, up to a point. I don't think many of those hooded youths live in £2m Georgian homes near the Tory leader. Still, it was a start. He sympathised with children on holiday with nothing to do, no money to spend, and No Ball Games, No Skateboarding signs in the only park.
Then we were on to the well-promoted bit about hoodies, and a swipe at Tony Blair for backing the shopping centre that banned them. "They're a way to stay invisible in the street," he said. We had to show a lot more love to these kids. "And not soppy love! I don't see anyone soppy here!" he declared. (Given the speech had been prepared in advance, how did he know? Might he have said, "I see only a few soppy people here, such as you, you and you ... ")
Nor did he want any "fuzzy" compromises. So fuzzy and soppy were right out. But instead of stringing them up, we were to love them up.
Question time and a young woman said she wore a hoodie "because it is warm. I know you find them intimidating. But we find politicians intimidating, in your suits and Ralph Lauren shirts."
He indignantly insisted that he was wearing a Marks & Spencer shirt. "But a hoodie is just an article of clothing!" he said. Even the most reactionary Tory could agree with that.

Hi! I'm having the same exact symptoms, did you find out what was causing them?
I had my period 1 week ago. The soreness and swellings of the breasts never went away. Yesterday I began having cramps followed by spotting and light bleeding. I am not pregnant but I am freaking out because this is abnormal for me. If anyone has any suggestions or an an answer please post it. I did some research online and came across very bad explanations.

Hi! I'm having the same exact symptoms, did you find out what was causing them?
I also have period cramps, it almost feels like I am having my normal period. It so so weird and I am starting to panic.February 28, 2014 - 2:47pm
Thank you so much for responding. I will definitely schedule a visit in the next couple of days.February 28, 2014 - 2:45pm
Hi Anon
Thanks for your question!
There is no need to worry for now and I know that looking up symptoms can be the worst thing - you ended up thinking you have anything from cancer to diabetes to stroke or heart attack!
What may be happening is some sort of hormonal issue that is mimicking pregnancy or PMS. Or the bleeding could be due to a cyst or fibroid - these are generally harmless but can cause pain.
I think you need to see a doctor - is that possible?

Forget what you are hearing or reading as the case may be today about Jessica Simpson and a Pretty Woman remake. It isn't going to happen. EVER. The film still does incredibly well in DVD sales and no one wants that cash cow to be interrupted or sidetracked by some Jessica Simpson fiasco. No matter how much Pimpa might want his daughter to portray a hooker, it isn't going to happen.
However, the studios are willing to destroy another movie, so who the hell knows what any of them are thinking. The Grease Country project has cleared some more development hurdles and is almost a sure thing at this point. Producers are confident that despite the straight to DVD acting abilities of Jessica Simpson that in a musical, she will do very well and that people will not be as focused on her acting, but instead on her singing ability. With a strong cast surrounding her, and the recent success of the High School Musical franchise, producers want to begin filming as soon as possible.
There is still no one attached to the project other than Jessica, and Willie Nelson as the Frankie Valli character, but with the additional financing that was secured, some new songs for the film and a desire to get the project done, casting is supposed to begin in earnest.
From what I understand, Jessica would be the fish out of water character and moves to a small southern town from the big city, and hooks up with Danny there. Locations are currently being scouted in North Carolina and Tennessee for the film.

HEAD COACH Ryun Williams VS. WEBER STATE
"We've won about every way imaginable, we've won close games, we've won shooting the ball really well, and we've won with different kids stepping up at different times. The thing that I am most proud of, with all the turnovers, all the bad decisions we've made today, maybe our minds were somewhere else, it was pretty evident, but we still found a way to win, and that's what you have to do, you're not going to play brilliant basketball 30 nights out of the year, and today we didn't, but you still have to find a way to win the game, you got to show courage at the right time, and I thought Gritt (Ryder) was really courageous tonight down the stretch.
(On Gritt Ryder)
"I think Gritt is our best shooter, she is our best kick out three point shooter, and you know what, she is the most courageous too. So, we need her to shoot more, we need that three ball, that's a big part of how we play, and we got some kids that are a little streaky right now so it was nice for her to have that type of day."
"Gritt just does what we need, she sensed that we needed aggression, we needed a different gear, and so you saw her get to the rim, you saw her play with a more gritty mentality. That's why shots go in, because you shoot to make them, you drive to get to the basket, you drive to get fouled, and that's what she was doing. I think we all can learn from her performance today."
(on slow start of game)
"We came out pretty timid, we talked about that at half time, we just weren't playing our game. We were passive and passing the ball. They're an athletic team, they were getting those turnovers. I think we had as many turnovers as we average normally."
"We didn't play that well, but were still able to pull that game out and win, going into our conference season with 8-3 and that's big for us. We didn't play that well today, our shots weren't falling as well as they should, but it's good to know we can pull out a win like this when we play like that."
(on Gritt Ryder's performance)
"Gritt (Ryder) did a really good job today. She stepped up when we needed her too and what we needed was to go to her. She went away from scoring a little bit and we realized we needed to get it back into her hands and she was going to do that. She had a great game today and I think that's because she stepped up when we needed her too and helped our team out."
(on winning record)
"I don't think we've ever gone into a conference season with a winning record and that's pretty cool. I think obviously we have to get better and we know that. We're going to want to get back and get better to go into conference really strong. It's nice to have eight wins."
(on slow start of game)
"Sometimes you don't really know what's going on. Like you know you're not supposed to make a bad pass and you made it. Coach was talking about that fact that we shouldn't go on Christmas break before we were done with this game, and I don't know if we said we weren't but in the first half just thought that all we needed was to get done with this and then we would be home with family. I'm glad we changed our turnovers during the second half and that shows that we're capable of change, but it still shouldn't happen."
(on shooting the ball)
"I get yelled at in practice for not shooting enough so I thought this was the game to do it. I got open shots and when they kept going in I kept shooting it."
(on second half)
"When we play together and play defense we start making our shots."
(on winning record)
"We're not satisfied with eight wins, we want it to be 11-0. That's a strong thing about our team, 8-3 is good but we want to get better and improve."

For 28 years Benjamin LaGuer, an Afro-Puerto Rican man, has been a Massachusetts inmate, wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. At the age of 20, just home from the Army, LaGuer had the misfortune of staying in an apartment in Leominster, MA, next door to a brutal attack on an elderly woman. In a rush to judgment police arrested LaGuer, overlooking a likelier suspect. LaGuer's trial was rife with irregularities, including a report from a juror that members of the all-white, all-male panel made racial slurs that attributed LaGuer's alleged guilt to his ethnicity.

The Cowbell 3 takes over as Salsa's budget friendly cyclocross handlebar, using a slightly updated compact bend for improved ergonomics with current shift/brake lever designs.
This bar is made from 6061-T6 double-butted aluminum for durability, weight savings and affordability. 12-degree flared ends, a short reach and shallow drop offer increased control through the roughest off-road racing conditions. An extra long 120mm top section provides plenty of space for handlebar mounted accessories and eases transitions from the hoods. Salsa has also added a single indentation along the front of the bar for clean brake cable routing.
The Cowbell 3 features a 31.8mm clamp diameter, 76mm reach and 126mm drop. Various widths. 301g (claimed weight, 44cm). Bead Blasted Black finish.
Width Measured: Center to Center (at lever position)
Drop/Reach: 126mm/76mm
Material: 6061-T6
Handlebar Style: Drop Bars
Second purchase of this handlebar now for carbon gravel grinder after using on my steel winterfenderedtraineradventurecommutergravel bike . I found the subtle flair to be great for drop riding in a more upright position. Does not give the weird brifter angle from wider flared bars (cowchipperwoodchipper) hand positions are familiar and comfortable. Ordered same size width as my regular endurance road bike.
Spending more time riding the drops.
New bars for the cyclocross rig.1st.cowbell bar. Love them.Going to install on my road & Fixie too !
I absolutely love these bars. I have wide shoulders and the drop profile of these bars fits me perfectly. The outward cant of the drops is subtle enough to not feel non-roadie (or look awkward). If I had to some up my review of this bar with one word, it would be ergonomic.
Great price on CX bars with character. I like the shallow drop with flared ends. My brifters angle out where I have them mounted, and I like the different look. It's comfortable, and I get many compliments on the appearance.
This thing has the same great shape as the Cowbell 2 at a fraction of the price. Feels great in my hands and I love having wide bars for cross top levers.

Sudan will soon see revolution: Islamist leader Turabi
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi said Sudan would soon see an "Arab Spring" popular uprising because President Omar Hassan al-Bashir was unable to overcome an economic crisis and end insurgencies in Darfur and border regions.
Bashir is under increasing pressure after his country lost much of its oil production to newly-independent South Sudan. The loss of oil revenues is fuelling inflation as food and other imports have become more expensive, hitting hard Sudanese who have suffered years of conflict and U.S. sanctions.
"I expect the Sudanese people to stage a revolution and I think this will happen very soon," said Turabi, who heads the opposition Popular Congress Party.
"I hope it will be a peaceful revolution so we can get a real multi-party parliamentary system," he told reporters.
He said only the overthrow of the government would end Sudan's problems because Bashir was unable to overcome the economic crisis and end insurgencies in Darfur and two border states.
Sudan has seen some small protests in Khartoum and the underdeveloped east that have become more frequent as inflation has risen, hitting 18.1 percent in December.
One of the most prominent Sudanese politicians, Turabi was the spiritual leader behind the Islamist government when Bashir seized power in 1989 but the two men later fell out.
The security services this week closed down the al-Rai al-Shaab newspaper owned by Turabi's party, saying it had violated professional standards.
Turabi said he expected authorities to arrest him again because of his call for "regime change". He has been in and out of prison since his split from Bashir's party in 1999/2000. Continued...

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: There are more and more hobbyists taking advantage of surface mount technology these days. With affordable tools like hot air and hotplate reflow ovens, electronics enthusiasts are shrinking their projects down to new levels of portability. Unfortunately, It's not always easy to get your hands on small amounts of SMD parts so here's a part that every project could use more of:
That's right, each pack includes 10 tiny SOT-23-5 5V LDO voltage regulators in cut-tape packaging. These are great for small, relatively low power applications, they appear on several of SparkFun's boards.
Usually these are offered in 10s because handling costs more than a single part and handling 1 part costs as much as handling 10 parts. But the price is no good. Mouser sell 10 parts for 45 cent each versus 90 cent here, a hundred parts cost 35 cents each at Mouser, here 80 cents.
True, this is one of those parts that we sell because we have them and people find it useful. If you need a lot it's going to be cheaper somewhere else. If you need a few and are already placing a Sparkfun order it is convenient and saves on shipping etc. We are not really setup well to cut tape and reel and sell it cheaply so mostly we leave that to the professionals.
Where can i find this in eagle?

No FUNNY after tasteIt is a must, a staple in ALL my orders. sometimes its ALL i order, yes i'm hooked. I was a menthol smoker for some 25 years. Chillax has helped kill the analog beast!
WonderfulI love his flavor. Cool menthol, mint with a hint of nutty flavor. Its a great anytime vape.
Never Smoked Menthol!18mg. Got as a sample, How I Love My Samples, Thanks V4L! I would have never ordered Menthol! But I so enjoyed this as a Major change of what I vape. Strong Vapor Clouds! I reordered and ordered the menthol sampler too. If you have sinus problems like me these will open you up! Be sure to exhale through your nose! Ha! Will keep on hand for those "Clogged Up Days"! Thanks Again V4L for introducing me to something I would have never ordered!
CoolImagine you go to the supermarket, buy a little bundle of fresh mint leaves, stick them in your mouth and start chewing. That's what this tastes like. Even has the 'leafiness'. Very realistic, It's pretty amazing!
Could be better..Was kinda disappointed with these :(
Loved the flavor, definetely one of the two best menthol's I've tasted yet. However, hated the lack of vapor that 4 of the 5 carts produced, with the 5th barely producing 1/4 of what every other PG prefilled carts I've tried in the past produced..
I did end up opening one of these carts and added 10 drops of another eliquid in them and they vaped good..so problem is not with the cartomizers themselves but the juice inside them..
EDITED: bought bottle of 5ml cool nobacco juice and they all work great now and vape decent and taste great (think the summer weather may just be drying the prefilled carts out during shipment perhaps).. very happy with them now :)

Women Still Scarce on Sunday Morning
June 14, 2010Women are still scarce on Sunday morning news shows, says Politico today, citing soon-to-be-published research from American University's Women & Politics Institute. No surprise to Women's Media Center President Jehmu Greene -- and we continue to hold media accountable. Expect a longer response from us soon, but in the meantime, here is her quote: "It's high time for Sunday morning news shows to take responsibility for their "men-in-suits mind-set" rather than blaming women who have been underrepresented and disregarded for decades. Still, producers continue to reject accountability for the lack of diversity, resorting to a laundry list of meaningless justifications, including our underrepresentation in Congress, time zone issues, and even diva-baiting Speaker Pelosi. Enough with the excuses. "While it's a positive step forward that media outlets recognize the gender disparity on Sunday morning, there are qualified women available, and producers need to book them. The Women's Media Center represents hundreds of experts available on every issue from beltway politics to foreign policy to financial reform. The solution is clear."
