I remember having this debate on the ZA Tech Show when Siri came out. Were we moving into an age of vastly different interfaces into technology. Mouse became touch became voice. But voice doesn't work everywhere - imagine repeating your request for Siri to deliver a certain sports score, 3 times at high volume in the middle of a crowded restaurant. Still a way to go.
But touch could very well become gesture. Not on a tablet, but in the air around you.
Whatever happens, one thing I know, is that the mouse has really been iterated in 20 years. Sure touch is good, but the vast majority of us still use a mouse/trackpad for 90% of work activity. It's ripe for a change.

Sensor technology changes social behavior
Dateline: 30 July 2016
Once we used to tease Italians for talking with their hands. Now we're all doing it!
Writing in the air with our hands, wearing a stylish 3D glove, or even via sensors built into rings or wristwatches, and seeing that turned instantly into text on whatever device we are using, is old hat! The technology is becoming so sensitive and accurate that it is now being employed in a whole series of industrial and business applications.
Surgeons are operating with new precision, driving electronic scalpels without actually touching the patient. Engineers, architects and designers are using it to draw and create everything from models to finished products. Pilots are flying aircraft without actually touching the controls; just by coolly waving their hands about. And the gaming applications are endless! No more plastic guns - just point and shoot!
Think of what that means. It's revolutionizing education - it's completely natural for children to use their hands to learn, and this technology simply enhances that activity, preparing them more quickly for the new world.
Of course, the good old computer mouse is rapidly disappearing. Gesture control enables us to create virtual keyboards anywhere we like and control screens with a flick of the wrist. Who needs a plastic box?
So now its not at all unusual to see people in cafes, in the street, in stores and offices, waving their hands around as they communicate. Guess the Italians had it right all along!

how can i tell what kind of pitbull i own

First off, there are no "types of pit bulls." There is only one true pit bull breed, the American Pit Bull Terrier. There are many dogs that can be confused for APBTs though; such as the American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, Canary Dog, Cane Corso, and Dogo Argentino. But these are all seperate breeds! Great Danes, Newfoundlands, and Rottweilers have also been mistaken for pit bulls, but usually only by those who do not know dog breeds very well. Any Molosser is usually refered to as a pit bull by ignorant people. The American Pit Bull Terrier is one of several bull terrier breeds, often kept as pets. Purebred APBTs with blueish grey coats are sometimes nicknamed Blue Nose. If you've ever seen a World War I United States war propaganda poster, it depicts a Pit Bull Terrier. American Pit Bull Terriers can earn AKC CGC titles and UKC titles. Some countries require pit bulls to be muzzled when outside. If kept by a good owner, Pit Bulls are wonderful!

There are 3 breeds classified as "Pit Bull"; the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The best way to figure out which one (s)he is, is to look at the breed standards (www.adbadog.com www.akc.org www.akc.org ).
There are also different "types" regarding looks..."bully", "gamebred", and "non-gamebred". Gamebred dogs are very athletic in appearance and are usually on the smaller end of the Pit Bull scale, while Bully dogs tend to be stockier and have larger/"meatier" heads and tend to be on the larger end of the scale, and non-gamebred dogs might often have traits of the bully and game-bred dogs.

My husband and I have both ordered XS sights.
The dot over the line helps with fast sight acquisition and in the night, again, with the line and the dash it's very clear which sight is which.
I have straight eights on my other gun, and even those might be traded for another pair of these.

The Pitt tennis team (4-11, 0-11 ACC) travels to 32nd-ranked Georgia Tech and 45th-ranked Florida State this weekend for matches on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Friday's match with the Yellow Jackets is a 4 p.m. start while Sunday's match with the Seminoles will begin at noon.
"Everything we do in this program is done with the intent to play our best tennis in the most important part of the season, which is right now," said head coach Alex Santos. "We have grown a world as a program but the girls feel that their ceiling is still a great distance away. Most importantly they have been putting in the time and effort to make something special happen. We'll have two great opportunities against top programs in Georgia Tech and Florida State. We now have to be able to apply all the great things we have been doing indoors to outdoors, and additionally become a little more patient with our shot selection. We want to go back to Pittsburgh with no energy left and feeling very proud of ourselves."
No. 32 Georgia Tech enters the weekend with a 9-7 overall record and 6-4 in the ACC, coming off a 6-1 win over No. 66 Virginia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are beginning a four-match homestand against the Panthers, which will round out their regular season. Friday marks the first-ever match between the two schools. The doubles duo of Kendal Woodard and Megan Kurey sit at fourth in the latest ITA rankings at the No. 1 spot.
The 45th-ranked Seminoles enter the weekend with an 11-9 overall record and are 4-6 in league play. Florida State will host No. 14 Miami on Friday and then the Panthers on Sunday at noon at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center. They are coming off a 7-0 loss to 6th-ranked North Carolina on April 6. Florida State also rounds out their season at home and will have a doubleheader on April 13 with Pitt at noon and Florida A&M at 5 p.m. The following weekend they host Virginia and Virginia Tech respectively on April 18 and 20.
Pitt returns home for its final regular season match of the year on April 18 for a 5 p.m. match at Alpha Tennis and Fitness for Senior Night.

Sundoulos - Spring 2013
Alumni Focus
by Rick Bee
In this issue
- Creeds
- An Interview with Talbot's Theologians
- Talbot Authors
- Dean's Column
- Alumni Focus
- Campus Focus
We are so blessed to have been taught scripture from some of the most knowledgeable and reliable theology faculty in the country. I was reminded when reading the articles for this issue of Sundolous that Biola and Talbot's faculty are truly world class, and the teaching that takes place in these classrooms is accurate, trustworthy, and well... excellent!
So, what does that mean and what difference does accurate theology make for Biola University?
Well, we know that every faculty member, whether seeking to teach in the Theology department or any other department at Biola, will have been grilled... yes, grilled... about their faith and theology before being offered a position to teach at either the undergraduate or graduate level. Talbot's dean, Clint Arnold, a committee of Talbot faculty, the President of Biola, and the university board provide a virtual gauntlet of questions as they seek evidence of the heart, soul, and understanding of potential faculty.
And sometimes that gauntlet is frustrating. It can be frustrating to the seasoned faculty member coming from outside of Biola who doesn't understand the importance of the integration of faith and learning. You see, they know and are perhaps even experts in the subject of their research. Their course could be psychology, business, philosophy, or the sciences, but they do not understand how their faith plays into the teaching beyond Sunday morning! These people are not good candidates to be Biola and Talbot faculty.
We are blessed to have been taught Bible and theology here at Talbot. God has brought together in this place one of the best and strongest Bible-believing faculty in the country! And as an alumnus of Biola and Talbot, I am pleased to have sat under the teaching of such a fine faculty. I hope you are too! And I encourage you to pass along a recommendation to those you know who are seeking a similar education. You might even want to drop a note to one of those life-changing faculty you sat under to say thanks for enduring "the gauntlet!"
I would love to hear your thoughts on your Talbot experience. Send me a note at firstname.lastname@example.com and perhaps we can share them in an upcoming issue.

COLLEGE PARK, Md.- The women's tennis team won the doubles point against Maryland but fell 6-1 to the Terrapins on Sunday.
The Spiders started the match winning the doubles point after Elizabeth Sims and Anna Abadias defeated the Bredikhina sisters in a tight 9-8 match at the number two position. Emily Gitman and Mariana Arana paired up for the first time this year at the number three position where they defeated Gabriela Srodwoski and Olga Gaistruk 9-7 to secure the doubles point.
"Winning the doubles point was big for us," said head coach Mark Wesselink. "We are making some real progress in positioning and shot selection."
The Spider's were blanked in singles play despite putting up a fight. Melissa Kandinata fell to Vroni Van Berlo 7-6, 6-4 in a back and fourth battle at the No. 1 position.
At the No. 2 position Abadias dueled with Sarah Gealer but fell 6-3, 7-5.
"I liked the improvement in singles too even though the results weren't there," said Wesselink. "Melissa looked especially strong at #1 losing a very close match."
The Spiders are 3-7 in spring play. The squad heads to Blacksburg next Sunday to face their third ACC opponent this season.
1. Van Berlo/ Gealer def Kandinata/Salas 8-4
2. Sims/ Abadias def. Bredikhina/Bredikhina 9-8 (5)

The ACLU of Louisiana works to combat government abuses of individual rights.
Our focus areas are:
Freedom of speech, of the press, of association, of assembly and petition -- this set of guarantees, protected by the First Amendment, comprises what we refer to as freedom of expression. Without it, other fundamental rights, like the right to vote, would wither and die. We respond to a variety of issues, including political protest, freedom of expression online, journalists' rights, scientific freedom, and openness in the courts.
The goal of the ACLU's work on freedom of religion and belief is to guarantee that all are free to follow and practice their faith – or no faith at all – without governmental influence or interference. The ACLU promotes religious freedom and works to ensure that government neither prefers religion over non-religion nor favors particular faiths over others. At the same time, we act to protect the equally important and related constitutional right to exercise and express religious beliefs and individual conscience.
The goal of criminal justice reform is to put an end to excessively harsh crime policies that result in mass incarceration and stand in the way of a just and equal society.
We work to ensure that conditions of confinement are constitutional and consistent with health, safety, and human dignity. Our goals include substantially reducing the existing incarcerated population, especially among people of color, the mentally ill, and other vulnerable populations; ending cruel, inhuman, and degrading conditions of confinement; increasing public accountability and transparency of jails, prisons, and other places of detention; and expanding prisoners' freedom of religion, expression, and association.
Achieving these goals will result in a criminal justice system that respects individual rights and increases public safety for everyone, at greatly reduced fiscal cost.
The ACLU works to ensure that LGBT people have equal opportunity to participate fully in civil society. No LGBT person should experience discrimination in employment, housing, or in businesses and public places, or the suppression of their free expression or privacy rights. The ACLU seeks new laws against discrimination, and resists all attempts to weaken the impact of existing nondiscrimination laws.
Our work is not limited to these areas. If you believe your civil liberties have been violated, please see our File a Complaint page for more information.

Can light turns off and on
I have one can light in my house that when its on for maybe 30 mins it will cycle on and off every 10 mins or so. Where should I be looking here? Does it sound like a loose wire or do can lights have some sort of electronics that could be going bad. They are all within 1-2 years old from what I know.
You have either too much wattage light bulb in there, or a bad heat sensor. :huh:
Try using a CFL bulb and see if that makes and difference. :whistling2:
What the others said, but to answer the question, there are heat sensors in recessed light fixtures. If they get too hot the sensors open up like circuit breakers. When they cool down, they close again. So yes, they can cylce on/off. Too big(watts) bulb, wrong type fixture(non IC rated) and covered with insulation, bad sensor, as suggested above.
Where insulation is installed above the fixture, you need an IC(insulation contact) rated fixture. Even better is an airtight. And inside each fixture, there should be a sticker that tells the max. size bulb allowed depending on the trim ring installed. Not all trim rings allow the same wattage bulb.
I've had 2 bathroom fan/light combos that had the thermal cut-off installed
They were both rated for a 100w light, but if you didn't have the fan running it would overheat & the light would go off/on
I've never had a can overheat & turn off & on
All modern cans have thermal cut-outs. I've been in the trade over 20 years and I have never install one with out it.
Lamp cycling is a tell-tale symptom of insulation over a non-IC can.
Go buy a 15 watt light bulb replacing the exiting one, if it starts to cycle,
three things, using the wrong shape bulb, and using bulb in higher wattages then the MFG. of this product allows, third, the luminaire, has a cook sensors.
I would pull out the trim, see if you can find what this thing is I.C. or non-I.C.
And if non-IC, reach in and moved the isualation away from it.
Remember the sensor protect the light, the breaker protects the wire
feeding the light.
What's funny is Lightolier Lightening cans are the same, IC or non. What makes the differences is the trim and installation.
I check the rating and its 65w and thats what I have in it. I wouldnt be surprised if there was insulation on top of it heating it up though. The last owner pushed the insulation all over in the attic when he put them in to the point that there are some places with none at all. :furious: I'll check into it once the so-cal summer heat subsides.

I think I have a good idea. What do you think?
I have always believed in magnets to help remove particles form the tranny and engine. I was looking for a magnet to put on the oil filter but the nicers ones cost something like $50 bucks. http://store.summitracing.com/defaul....asp&x=22&y=11
I remembered that I had tore some old hard drives apart and taken the magnets out of them. There are 4 in each drive and are real strong magnets. I have put 3 on my oil filter each 1/3 around and when I change the oil will see how well the work. So if your a pack rat like me and think this is interesting the next time you see an old computer set out for the trash pick it up and take the hard drive apart. The magnets are epoxied in and takes a little effort to remove them with out breaking them. Then just dispose of the rest of the computer. Just another ranting of a mad man.
Turbo350s have one in the pan....................stock, from the factory.
Your filter will catch anything smaller than about 8 microns. Finding metal particles in your oil will also probably too late. :D
Those are used in aircraft engines more as an inspection device to see if any abnormal things are going on..Would work in a car about the same..
might be good on new motor for break in, after that it's like dinger said
they have magnets in the 4T40E in my grand am, too bad it's not the heavier duty w/ performance axle ratio 4t45e.
I found a good magnet and stuck it on the oil filter, I can't tell if it does anything since I can't seem to cut the filters open without crushing them or taking a hacksaw to it <making it look like I have all sorts of crap in the engine.
buy a oil pan drain plug with a magnet ($10?), the magnet is isolated from the plug and pan so it can catch and hold metal to remove when you change the oil....alot easier than opening filters....and say a prayer to the great motor god before you remove the magnetic plug: "please!!!!.no metal on the magnet"

Pinterest provides a huge marketing platform for many brands: More than 70 million people use the site to gawk at "pinboards" featuring pictures of food, clothing, home decor, and other goods. These browsers often do more than just look, too. According to a 2013 survey by Harvard Business Review, 21 percent of Pinterest users said that they bought an item after pinning, repinning, or liking it on the site.
Here's how to use Pinterest to maximize your seasonal sales.
- Create holiday-themed pinboards that include your products. Build various pinboards around themes that fit your brand values. Tout your products, but avoid promoting them too heavily; Pinterest viewers don't want to feel like they're viewing an advertisement whenever they peruse one of your boards. For an example of a balanced approach, check out home-improvement retailer Lowe's "Build it!" board, which features bloggers' do-it-yourself endeavors alongside occasional links to DIY projects on the company's website (that, of course, use products sold by Lowe's). For the holidays, small-business owners could put together a series of gift guides sprinkled with a few of their own wares.
- Use "product pins" to provide purchasing information. Pinterest has a feature called Rich Pins that may be used to provide product details, such as price, where to buy online or in-store, and website links. In order to add Rich Pins, you'll need to add custom metatags to your website and apply for approval with Pinterest. This page shows you how it's done (although you may need help from your website developer).
- Promote your Pinterest boards through your other marketing channels. In addition to the organic traffic that you'll get from avid Pinterest users, it's also important to promote your holiday-themed pinboards to your existing customer base. Use your email newsletter and social media accounts to share links to your Pinterest holiday gift guides and other boards, encouraging your followers to comment on your pins and choose their favorites.
- Create a giveaway contest. The holiday season is an ideal time to host a giveaway, and many brands have found that Pinterest is a great place to do it. One strategy: Ask fans to comment on your pins in order to enter, as Gilt Home has done. Another: Invite fans to create their own pinboards that incorporate your products, as ModCloth did to promote its wedding campaign. Before launching your holiday competition, make sure that your rules are in line with Pinterest's regulations.

See, Lawal is 6-foot-8 (and rapidly growing), athletic, long, bouncy, smart, defensive minded, offensively capable and well, just an all-around good kid. Toss in some high academic goals, mix in loads of potential and you have the ingredients for a stud recruit in 2007. In fact, Scout.com ranked him No. 11 in the country and we'd be lying if we didn't tell you that we're looking for a way to squeeze him into the crowded Top 10.
Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky round out Lawal's current Top 5. Arkansas and DePaul have offered and places like Wake Forest and North Carolina State have shown a lot of interest as well.
Lawal was on the move during his season visiting Duke twice – once for a game and once for practice – Georgia Tech (he lives 10 minutes from campus) and Georgia. He plans on seeing UK's campus this summer and he's an avid watcher of the game on TV.
Every now and then he'll pick up the phone and make a call. "I call Kentucky sometimes and they seem like they have a little interest in me," Lawal said of the school that has yet to offer. "That motivates me a lot to get better."
Lawal has had little problems improving his game. In fact, he's pretty comfortable where he's at right now heading into the spring prior to his junior season.
"I think I gained confidence to do some things," Lawal said of his sophomore season. "I got better as far as things I can do on the court. I shot it on the perimeter more often and I still kept a steady low post game. I felt my dribbling increased and my confidence rose to do those things."
One of the more well rounded guys in his class, Lawal gets it done in the classroom as well. He wants to graduate high school with at least a 4.0 GPA and no less than 1,300 on the SAT.
He makes strong and confident statements in a humble manner (think Dwight Howard in terms of demeanor). Lawal is extremely dedicated to achieving a list of goals and isn't afraid to talk the talk yet put in the work it's going to take to reach his dreams.
"I want to be the No. 1 player in the nation or considered one of the best by my senior year," the humble Lawal said. "I want to be a strong player and I want to be able to pick whatever college I want to go to. I want to win the region the next two years and win state also. I want a state championship, that's one of my goals."
This is a big summer for a player of Lawal's caliber. It's a chance to cement his standing as one of the elite players in his class and at his position. There's every reason to think he's capable of building on the foundation he laid as a sophomore. Lawal's a lot of things – student, son, brother, player – but at the heart of it, he's got a basic passion for the game.
"I just like basketball. I'll watch any game. The game of basketball itself, I just love it."

Below grade fireplace venting
I'm adding a small gas fireplace as part of a basement remodel. The rim joist is only several inches above grade so I'd either need to:
1) vent parallel to the floor joists - through the rim - and periscope up to meet the 12" above grade requirement
2) vent perpendicular to the joists - pass through the 8" foundation wall - and periscope up through the grade
I prefer the resulting vent location of option 2, but I'm not sure of the best way to cut a round hole in the cement wall. I also wonder how the vent seals to the wall to prevent water penetration.
You need to make sure the unit you want to use can be vented that way. Most of the new units I have installed have very specific vents that can't be elbowed. They have been double wall pipe that has to go straight out the rear wall. Have you looked into vent free units?
Vent free is never a good option
a vent free fireplace is never a good option because they will kill someone and have did so in many cases already
there are many different fireplaces out there that you can use a periscope vent termination with and they work great, i install these on a weekly basis
the only thing you need to remeber is that if the hole coming out is below grade you will need to dig a well similar to a window well of a basement and about two feet deep and then below that two feet go down another foot and back fill with gravel, then use sheet metal to make the well around your periscope
napoleon makes a periscope vent termination for pretty much all of there fireplaces and regency makes them as well, but the napoleon ones look much better on the outside of your house
but if i were you i would never in my life put a vent free in, they are banned in canada for a reason
It sounds like you have a good handle on the situation. It comes down to how much work you want to do. As suggested, make sure you meet the requirements of the fireplace with the venting (bends, length, etc) and that your periscope is what youneed for your required pipe style.
last one I did I got lucky and had a window opening I could use and still beat the 12" requirement by an inch or so.
Consider not only how it will look on the outside but on the inside. Mine was a stove style and the pipe visible in the room. A long horizontal run would have looked awkward.
If inside isn't a concern for you, your preferred outside location will satisfy the requirements of your fireplace, piping and periscope then thats what I would do. Put it where you will like it best. If that means cutting a hole in your foundation wall then go for it. Its a lot of work to DIY but it can be done. If you don't have the right tools it might be best to hire it out. But hey, who isn't looking for an excuse for a new tool?
dam americans
there is only one place for vent free fireplaces and that is outside or on a sun porch which is well ventilated not in your basement, if they were safe then more ppl would use them
you see here in canada we pride ourselves that we dont want to blow ourselves up and that is why we have the strictest gas codes in the north america and it is pretty much illegal to touch gas applicances unless you are licensed
so i guess if you want to cheap out and just put a vent free one in then go ahead and do it but plz for the love of god use an oxygen depletion sensor, and if you dont know what it is then call someone who knows what they are doing
Nothing burns 100%. Vent free units are against code here and alot of other places. A vent free will also add alot of moisture to the room it serves. Even with a sensor I would never put one in my house.
As for the original question, follow the manufactures instructions on weather it can be done with the unit you have or not. I did the same thing in my house and had to get creative on how to mount the cap to the wall because they didn't make one at that time. A few calls to the manufacturer and we got it figured out.
good to hear they are being banned in the usa
you hit the nail on the head Hvac, and i know for a fact that napoleon has a vent termination that will take care of the exact problem he is having, i we put them in on a weekly basis and have many happy customers

As some of you know the Evoms CAI has a tendency to rub on a few coolant lines. I finally got around to notching out a spot so the lines will be run free..they are still fine to keep on, but for my own security I have been considering replacing them. I am also in the process of cleaning up my bay to make my car show worthy so I then thought about some colored coolant lines. I found them here:
I thought it was a bit strange though that I have never read of anyone else putting these on..considering the limited options of aftermarket parts and I thought atleast someone would have tried them out.

The West Coast Conference includes two former national champions -- San Francisco (1966, 1975, 1976, 1980) and Santa Clara (co-champion in 1989) -- and two other teams that have played in the final four -- San Diego and Portland -- but this season has been a non-starter for WCC teams. Entering the weekend, no WCC team has a winning record. For a look at the WCC seven ...
PORTLAND (2-2-1). The Pilots have been either good -- 4-0 win over Fairleigh Dickinson, 3-1 win over Washington and 2--2 tie with Virginia Tech -- or horrible
-- 3-0 loss to Creighton and 5-1 loss to Saint Louis. Frankie Lopez leads the WCC with five goals.
LOYOLA MARYMOUNT (1-1-2). The Lions' .500 record isn't bad, considering its first four opponents: New Mexico (1-1 tie), Saint Louis (2-2 tie), Cal Poly (1-0 win) and UC Santa Barbara
(3-1 loss). LMU Coach Paul Krumpe, the former U.S. international, has gotten some quality play out of son Tyler, a
GONZAGA (1-2-1). The Bulldogs got their first win of the season when they beat UNLV, 2-1,
thanks to two goals by Zach Smith off the bench, last week at the UNLV Nike Invitational. They made the 2007 NCAA Tournament but went their final 548 minutes
without scoring a goal!
SANTA CLARA (1-3-1). The Broncos, the 2007 WCC champions, were ranked No. 5 in the Soccer America Preseason Top 25 but they dropped after opening with losses to Loyola (Ill.), UIC
and Wisconsin. A 1-1 tie with Cal last week is more reflective of SCU's talents.
ST. MARY'S (1-4-0). The Gaels' only win was 4-2 at
Navy. Since then, they've dropped one-goal decisions to D1 returnee Houston Baptist, UC Irvine and Sacramento State. Still, St. Mary;s has outshot the opposition, 67-40.
SAN DIEGO (0-3-2). The Toreros dropped a 2-1 decision to ranked Indiana in their lone match last week. JT Howlan, who
scored against IU, now has two of the four USD goals.
SAN FRANCISCO (0-4-0). The Dons have been consistent: all four games have ended in
1-0 losses. Their tough luck continued last week as they dropped a double-overtime decision to San Jose State before falling to Stanford.

New Movies In Theaters This Weekend – August 19th [VIDEOS]
The weekend is rolling up on us and as this heat wave continues, most of you, including myself, look to things to do inside. I mean, screw being out in the heat if you can help it, right? One of those things, of course, is checking out a flick at the movie theater. So, let's take a closer look at some of the movies coming out this weekend.
Conan The Barbarian
I'll start off with probably the most intriguing flick, at least to me, and that's "Conan The Barbarian". I have said it before, that this remake will blow the original away and not because it's flashy and well produced with lots of effects – OK, so maybe that's part of it. But, the dialogue itself has GOT to be better than the original. Not to mention the fact, that this is an R rated movie which means (or I hope it does) that there will be lots of gore and blood and stuff. Don't get me wrong, I loved the original one and in it's time, it was cool, but this one looks bad ass Check it out for yourself.
5 Days of War
This movie stars Rupert Friend, Val Kilmer, and Andy Garcia and looks pretty good. It's about a journalist and cameraman that get caught up in the conflict between Russian and Georgia. I like war movies, especially if they are rated R like this one is. Check it out.
Fright Night
This movie is a remake of the classic 1985 flick about a dude that finds out a vampire (Colin Farrell) lives next door. Honestly, I must have lived under a rock in '85 because I don't recall seeing the original one. The 80's are sort of a blur for me for several reasons I won't go into. Anyway, check out the remake which is rated R.
Spy Kids: All The Time In The World
The fourth movie in the franchise has Jessica Alba in it. Sold! Hotness, as she is known to most, plays a retired spy turned mother who gets thrown back in the game when this dude creates a device that can stop time and destroy the world. This will be a great family flick for even Dad to enjoy. It's rated PG.
So, that's my little preview of new movies in theaters this weekend. Now, that you made it through that, why don't you treat yourself to the Hot Twitter Girl of the Week, or check out our contest section to win some free stuff like cash, trips, electronics and more.
Oh, and don't forget the popcorn.

Wing It: Simple Talk on the Complex Subject of Aerodynamics
8 hours ago in Articles
Whether sleek, boxy or somewhere in between, all cars interact with the air while racing down the track.
Well, I had planned to win the Special Class of the 2011 Challenge with this...
...but recent surgery to both hands, a complete lack of free time and a baby have conspired to put the kibosh on this project.
Here's what you get:
Titan Mk IX Formula Ford chassis, sandblasted, primed and painted, with a few bits of new Grade 8 hardware. A few tubes have been replaced and you might want to clean up some of the welds, but it appears to be clean and straight. It includes a bag seat, pedals and master cylinders and two dash panels.
Macon Formula Ford Body. Not sure of the year, but my guess is around 1969. It is too narrow for the chassis. My plan was to split the body along the center line and add two inches of fiberglass, since it needs to be refinished anyway. It is shown in loose mock up with the chassis.
Honda CBR600 engine, with carbs and oil cooler. Former spare from a Formula SAE car. Needs ignition.
My plan was to add the suspension uprights, wheels and tires, steering and rear of a donor Miata, along with some fabricated A-arms to build the lightest thing to ever contest the Challenge.
Now it's up to you...
$1500 for everything.
Live the dream...
Western Connecticut, right off I-84.
FYI: I know for a fact that it will fit in back of a Silver Tacoma.
What if the Tacoma is green? Also damn I'm glad that's not any closer to me. Were it a one nighter away, I'd be explaining to mrs. mndsm why there's a car chassis in the living room. She probably wouldn't blink too much though, considering I do have about half of my ms3 scattered about thusfar.
Wow, there's so much coolness potential there. Woody, I'm sorry to hear you can't finish it. I hope the new owner keeps us up to date.
And it's not going to be me, I'm booked for the time being
Too bad it would take some serious looking to turn it back into a real FF....
Maybe with enough flea markets... That would be a real fun vintage race car for real.
I'm so glad I'm fresh out of time and space...

That would be my thoughts as well... but it would probably cost less to buy an already complete car...
I wish I had the time/space/cash as well... although I have no idea how I could finish it within the remaining Challenge budget... Does the engine include any of the rest of the donor bike?
If this is still available in a month, my wallet might be $1500 lighter.
What would I be looking at to turn that back into a FF? I'm building a race car now but had an offer from a guy who wants to restore it...luckily I haven't put a roll cage in yet. I'm hell bent on having a pure race car. If he takes it this weekend or next, I'd be really interested in this if I didn't have to spend $20k to bring it back.
BTW, nice Miata, I've got the same one.
Forget turning it into a FF, I'd just make it a track day toy. You can run open wheelers with most of the groups around here.
If only I didn't have plans for the cheap Miatae that I already possess.
After the initial surge of e-mail, I'm starting to think about adding "or best offer"...
Just want to bump this up so that I'm not dumb enough to call one of my vintage race buddies to see how common parts can be found on race weekends.
Suspension, body, engine, fuel system, brakes, electrical, gages, seat.
Seems like a ton, but for a formula car, it's pretty basic.
In reply to alfadriver: And Lime Rock's Vintage Festival isn't that far away. The flea market always has FF parts...says I in mid Ct. But I have committed to building a 3/4 race/street engine for my Triumph. Nice project, though. And they are LOTS of fun to drive.
still for sell 700.00 offered for all firstname.lastname@example.com
No, no, no....Total Canoe.
Sold a long time ago.
In reply to Woody: Hi Any idea what happened to the formula ford after you sold it? Unfortunately saw the post too late! Thanks Julian
The body and chassis were sold separately. One went to a vintage racing shop near Lime Rock and the other went to another vintage racing shop in Newtown. Not sure which went where, but I got the sense that both were going to good places.
I still have one of those master cylinders if anybody needs one.
I still regret not buying this...
In reply to Woody: only 2 years too late!
I have bought five cars, sold five cars and bought two motorcycles since then!

INDIANA: Funds to be used to improve pedestrian safety
The county planning office and a grassroots community-improvement group have won state funds to make it easier for bicycle riders and walkers to get around in the Indiana area. Now they're looking to the Indiana Area School District and other local government offices to help get the project moving.
LINC, the Livable Indiana Neighborhood Connections group, has asked the district to provide a portion of $440,000 of local funds required as a match for a grant of $2.23 million in a Multimodal Corridor Project grant awarded by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to the Indiana County Office of Planning and Development.
At their meeting Monday, the school board handed the request over to the buildings, grounds and transportation committee for review.
School board President Thomas Harley said the grant would be used to improve bike and pedestrian intersections from the south end of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus, in the area of the Hoodlebug Trail and Robertshaw Building, to downtown Indiana, and to East Pike in White Township.
The committee will be responsible for bringing a recommendation for the full board to consider.
"The odd thing about this is that the state funds are already in place, and the local funds are needed," Harley said. He said Indiana Borough, White Township, IUP and the county will also be asked to support the project.
Harley said the funds are unrelated to another Penn DOT proposal to construct a traffic circle at Philadelphia Street and East Pike.
Also at its meeting, the board:
• Approved two change orders for the recent Energy Services Company (ESCo) energy-efficiency improvement project.
The contractor set aside $200,000 for replacement of wet roof insulation but spent only $58,926 for the work. The difference will be refunded to the district. And a change order of $33,259.11 will leave a contingency fund for other excess expenses with a balance of $133,038, which will be returned to the district and applied to the capital projects fund.
• Ratified a natural gas transportation agreement between the district and Peoples Natural Gas Co., locking in a rate of $2.16 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas through the end of 2016.
Business Manager Jared Cronauer said some of the rates may be reduced later, in an amendment to the contract, after the bus company introduced buses that run on propane.
• Approved an agreement with Armstrong-Indiana Intermediate Unit 28 for participation in the regional wide network consortium for Internet and Ethernet services at $1,828.59 a month, eligible for e-Rate discount and for firewall service, network management and maintenance fees totaling $450 a month from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2019.
• Agreed to pay $21,870 from the construction fund for the replacement of aged stage curtains in the senior high school auditorium.
"The curtains were installed in the 1991 renovation project and have since lost their fire-retardant properties," board member John Barbor said. "So they are not only an eyesore, but a danger."
• Approved a contract for transportation services between the district and STA of Pennsylvania, also known as Krise Bus Service, from July 1 to June 30, 2019.
• Approved the purchase of snow guards for the sloped part of the roof of Ben Franklin Elementary school at a cost of $12,600.
• Accepted a request by high school Principal Wade McElheny to waive his $600 goal-achievement stipend and to donate the funds to the high school budget.
• Appointed Cronauer to represent the district on the Indiana County Tax Collection Committee and accountant Rebecca Pizer to serve as the alternate delegate, each for a one-year term.
• Appointed Deborah Clawson to serve as the PSBA liaison for the district.
• Named Harley, Diana Paccapaniccia and John Uccellini as the district's representatives to the Indiana Area Parks and Recreation Commission board.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I concider myself an "expert" manual transmission driver. My first vehicle as a kid at 16 was a manual trans '93 Toyota pickup 5/speed 4-cyl. I went on to own several other manual vehicles after that like a '92 Acura GS-R, '98 Tacoma, '02 VW Jetta 1.8t, '02 Civic Si. There is nothing I can't or havent done spiritedly with a manual transmission. I've worked at several car dealers in my past and driven almost everything ever offered in manual over the last 20 years aside from exotics and never had a problem, let alone never really stalled one since learning to drive a manual initially.
I'm embarrased to say this but my '13 base WRX is the HARDEST manual trans car I've ever driven period. My first experience with an old GMC, with three on the tree went smoother than me driving my WRX. So here is my delima, our home has a steep driveway at almost 9% at the steepest point. I have to take my driveway at a 45 degree angle to avoid damage to the lip of the car or rear overhangs and exhaust tips. Rarely do I just park straight on the slope but today I did and when I went to pull the car into the garage I absolutely smoked my clutch. At all times I do my best to be super smooth with clutch/ gas modulation, engaging and dissengaging the clutch but this car feels like the engagement point is always changing.
Almost as if sometimes it is right off the floor, half way or nearly completely off. I know this is not the case but the super soft feel and give of the engagement point makes this frustrating, every time I pull into my garage I get a faint or moderate burnt clutch smell, even doing everything correctly and coming completely off the clutch and letting the car almost idle into the garage. I've actually stalled my WRX at a traffic light more times in five months of ownership and just 1500 miles of useage than in my entire 18 years of driving manual vehicles.
Anyone else having as hard of a time with the manual and clutch in this car as I am? One otherthing I notice, sometimes when I park the car and go to leave It is very difficult to select reverse and I almost have to slightly roll the car (Which sucks if I'm slightly nosed in on an incline 6" away from the curb) just to get it to slife into reverse. Anyway, I throughly enjoy this beast but the stick and clutch are the worst I've ever experienced and I've driven some very craptastic manual vehicles in my lifetime.

Why is Cloud Killing off the Archival Tape Library
Traditional tape-based archival is under threat from cloud storage services that act as an offsite archival medium, facilitating integrated and seamless remote disaster recovery sites. The cloud provides all the advantages of disk-based storage while still competing effectively on price. Because the cloud is essentially remote disk-based storage, it is much faster to find and restore exact files or recover entire servers when combined with sector-based, real-time recovery software.

Re: solve() problem since new ROM update
I see here a syntax problem.
1. Function name should be "Solve" rather then "SOLVE"
2. use squar brackets for functions, tather then ()
3. use == to denote "equal" and not =
So, after these corrections
{{x -> -Sqrt[2]}, {x -> (-I)*Sqrt[2]},
{x -> I*Sqrt[2]}, {x -> Sqrt[2]}}

Although he combines hot-blown glass and cold working, for every hour spent at the glory hole he spends another 99 away from the furnace ensuring every detail is perfect.
"For a lot of glassblowers, cold working is their least favourite bit," he explains. "It's painstaking, onerous, meticulous and takes hours upon hours. Yet it's much more than just cutting and grinding and my pieces for Collect will show people that there is so much more to this stage than meets the eye."
Using high-grade optical glass, one of Anthony's showpieces will be a dodecahedral shape with a matrix of bubbles inside he calls Dark Matter.
"I started my work back in October 2014 but no matter how much prep you do there is always an 11th hour panic which I do not like," he reveals, smiling thinly.
"Concentration is such an important part and if you're tired you run the risk of wrecking something just at the most critical phase. There are certain points during the process when you may be able to recover but it would be horrific to muck a piece up when you've spent six weeks getting it to that stage. No matter how crazy things are and how much work there is to do I have to plan to stop sometimes to avoid this. It takes a huge amount of discipline."
With such intricate, beguiling sculptures on display, Anthony's work has long drawn the crowds. So is he hoping for more of the same at this year's Collect?
"You always hope that people like your work and I've had some really pleasing results from Collect in the past but it's probably better to ask me after the show rather than before," he laughs.

Lights out for popular household item
The phasing-out of incandescent light bulbs is a part of the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act. As of Jan. 1, the bulbs will no longer be manufacture in or imported to the United States.
This variety of light wastes 90 percent of the energy that goes into it, which translates to a significant amount of wasted money for consumers.
"Essentially they just use too much energy and they're actually quite wasteful because they tend to burn out more quickly," said Douglas Bursnall, senior conservation specialist with Colorado Springs Utilities.
Bursnall said while incandescent light bulbs are only 10-percent efficient, compact fluorescent light bulbs are 50-percent efficient.
He said using a CFL bulb in place of an incandescent bulb can save homeowners $5 every year. In a home with about 40 lights, that would be a savings of $200 per year.
CSU is teaming up with local retailers to provide discounts to customers that are interested in upgrading their light bulbs.
For a full list of locations where homeowners can get instant discounts on energy-efficient light bulbs, click here.

Matsuda, Sato keep OPBF belts
By Joe Koizumi
WBC#9/WBA#11 Naoki Matsuda (33-8-4, 13 KOs), 126, struggled to keep his OPBF featherweight belt as he showed his poorest form and timing in his career, but managed to outpunch aggressive but monotonous Korean champ Jungsuk Soh (10-9-1, 2 KOs), 125.5, en route to a unanimous nod (119-111, 116-110 and 115-114) over twelve dull rounds on Satuday in Tokyo, Japan.
Also, OPBF middleweight titlist Koji Sato (17-1, 15 KOs), 160, retained his regional belt by dispatching Korean Inyoung Yoon (8-2, 3 KOs), 159.75, at 2:06 of the third round. Sato's right to the temple was a haymaker, though Sato didn't display his best form at all in the first two sessions.
Ex-Olympian, WBC#13 flyweight Toshiyuki Igarashi (11-1-1, 9 KOs), 113, made short work of formerly world-rated Filipino Rexon Flores, 112.25, with a southpaw left uppercut to the liver at 1:46 in the opening session. Promoter: Teiken Promotions.

Schools Re-open, Clean-Up Begins As Storm Leaves Region
01/13/11 7:04AM By Susan Keese
(Snow shoveling)
(Host) That's a sound Vermonters will be hearing a lot of today as they dig out from yesterday's nor'easter.
Over 230 schools throughout the region were closed and some businesses shut down as the storm bore down on the region. This morning there are only a handful of school delays, in Vermont's Bennington county and New York's Essex county.
Forecasters say much of the region got one to two feet of snow, while some parts of southern Vermont got between 30 and 36 inches of snow. In northern Vermont, just 4 to 8 inches of snow fell.
Bob Distelberg, who co-owns the Newfane Country Store, shoveled his walkway in spurts, and even found time for a snowshoe in between.
(Distelberg) "This is not bad shoveling at all, really. It was very deep, but it wasn't that heavy."
Gary Hillsgrove used a front loader to clear his steep driveway.
(Hillsgrove) "Ah, just trying to clean up my driveway. I'm thinking maybe 18-15, 18 inches are so. Pretty deep."
(Host) Crews are out clearing snow this morning, but there could still be treacherous road conditions in some places, so do be careful if you have to be out traveling this morning.

Radish and Cucumber Salad with Garlic-Yogurt Dressing: Deliciously crunchy slices of cucumbers and radishes tossed with a Garlic-Yogurt Dressing.
Oh my gosh! Never use the mandoline while you're NOT thinking about the fact that there's a sharp blade 2 milli-inches from your index finger.
There I was, in the kitchen, doing my salad-thing, thinking about my next TJ Maxx splurge – I like to keep it classy… – when BAM! The mandoline decided to have its way with me! Lawwwd, that hurt! It's like a paper cut, but not. It's like a MILLION times worse!
My husband threatened to pitch out the mandoline because I have yet to use that thing without hurting myself. Then I threatened that without the mandoline, I would never make his favorite Radish and Cucumber Salad, again. Seconds later, that mean little tool found its way back on the kitchen counter.
SO, it's Friday! Have you clocked out, yet? Mentally, I'm sorta always clocked out. Which is the reason my fingers are all wrapped up now…
I'm fairly certain that we're approaching the time of year when it's reasonable to eat salads thrice a day. (Think beach-bod!)
However, in thinking about Father's Day and what I wanted to share with you, I decided on my husband's all-time favorite salad.
When we first got married, I would always make my favorite Simple Cucumber Salad, and without even mentioning it, I'd see him slicing up a few radishes into his bowl. I've never met anyone else that can eat a radish with so much joy! He LOVES 'em!! I can't even taste them! Do they have a taste?
Well, soon thereafter, to make him happy, and all the while to make myself happy, I started to add the radishes to our cucumber salad, but not without a good dose of garlic-yogurt dressing. Garlic is always the answer. ALWAYS.
This salad is simple, refreshing, easy to make, and a celebration of summer-food.
Besides, there are short dresses and sandals in our very near future…like, this weekend. Lawd help me.
Radish and Cucumber Salad with Garlic-Yogurt Dressing
For the Salad
- 1 English cucumber , washed and cut into thin rounds
- 10 radishes , washed and thinly sliced
For the Dressing
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic , minced
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt , or to taste
- fresh ground pepper , to taste
- In a salad bowl, combine sliced radishes and cucumbers; set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing; taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
- Add the dressing to the salad; mix well and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Serve.

text: NEW YORK, April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARCP) ("ARCP") announced today its continued willingness to consider all options to acquire Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. ("CCPT III"). (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120529/NY15147LOGO ) American Realty Capital Properties Willing to Consider All Options to Acquire CCPT III: The Board of ARCP has indicated they will consider all options to acquire CCPT III, but only subject to constructive and meaningful engagement on the part of the CCPT III special committee. Again, No Constructive Engagement by CCPT III Special Committee: We are disappointed (but not surprised) by the continuing refusal of the CCPT III special committee to engage with us with respect to our proposal. There has been absolutely no constructive engagement on the part of CCPT III's special committee to understand, evaluate and compare our proposal to the related party internalization of Cole Holdings. In fact, the CCPT III special committee hasn't even countered our proposal or expressed any changes, modifications or enhancements to the terms of our offer. CCPT III's stockholders deserve to know why. CCPT III Stockholders Deserve Clarity from their Directors and a Voice and a Vote in the Outcome. CCPT III's stockholders have expressed an overwhelming desire to vote on the combination of Cole Holdings and CCPT III. They deserve full, complete and timely disclosure of the related party internalization of Cole Holdings and the subsequent proposed listing, i.e., how will they be paid, when will they be paid, what will they be paid, what will be the size and price of any tender support and what are the risks surrounding the transaction. The merits of the internalization cannot be evaluated by stockholders in the absence of critical information and assumption about the proposed listing. This information has been reviewed by the CCPT III special committee, evaluated by their financial advisors, who have provided a fairness opinion, but has been intentionally withheld from CCPT III's stockholders. CCPT III stockholders deserve to know why. CCPT III Special Committee's Decision is Flawed and Highly Suspect: The CCPT III special committee arrived at their decision to reject our proposal for reasons we believe were: (i) incorrect and NOT in the best interests of CCPT III stockholders; (ii) made without any meaningful engagement with ARCP; and (iii) based on assumptions that are simply incorrect. No matter how many meetings they hold with themselves, the CCPT III special committee cannot possibly fairly assess our proposal without meaningful and mutual engagement. CCPT III's stockholders deserve to know why. CCPT III Special Committee Has Failed in its Duty as Fiduciaries for the Stockholders of CCPT III: Let us be clear – the CCPT III special committee is making an indelible decision by rejecting our offer that directly affects their stockholders' value. Data and conclusions in the press release issued by CCPT III special committee this morning prove that this decision is based on incomplete and incorrect information, flawed assumptions, and a failure to meaningfully engage with us. It would be hard to believe a fiduciary would behave in such a manner, if such actions were not already on public display. CCPT III's stockholders deserve to know why. Although the CCPT III Real Estate Portfolio is Attractive, it is by No Means Essential to the On-Going Success of ARCP. ARCP has already created substantial value for our stockholders, i.e., ARCP is outperforming over the year-to-date period (up 10.7%) as well as the trailing 12-month period (up 42.6%). Moreover, we have myriad opportunities to grow our business both organically and by acquisitions. ARCP Stands by its Fully Banked Offer including A "Highly Confident" Letter from Barclays Capital Inc. for $4.7 billion, but Will Evaluate All of its Options: While we remain committed to delivering substantial value to CCPT III stockholders through our proposal, and hope that the CCPT III directors engage with us, we continue to evaluate all of our options, including taking our offer directly to the stockholders. CCPT III's stockholders deserve to know why they are being deprived of the benefits of a fully banked offer. Transaction Advisors Barclays Capital Inc. and RCS Capital, a division of Realty Capital Securities, LLC, are acting as ARCP's financial advisors and Proskauer Rose LLP and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as its legal advisors.
