Door hinge bushings?
After spending hours trying to press the stubborn hinge pins out of my '36 Fords upper hinges, with a clamp, a homemade hinge press, and a commercial one from Drakes, I gave up. After bending my homemade one, the clamp, and breaking the (borrowed) store-bought one. I cut the heads off the bolts holding 'em to the cowl, with a small cut off blade on my die grinder, and punching out the bolts.
Turned out, both the pins were broken off in the hinge plate, and the door plates on both are pretty sloppy. The holes are all hogged out. I priced Wescott's hinges, and while it's not staggering, it kinda doesn't fit my "low buck" theme.
So here's my thought(s):
1) 'line bore' the hinges, and take the holes out to 5/16. Then, fill them with brass, redrill back down to 1/4", and push in new pins.
2) Do the same thing with brazing and redrilling, but instead of pins, drop stainless carriage bolts with the shoulder ground a bit down as hinge pins.
3) Just line bore the hinges out to 5/16, and drop stainless carriage bolts
down thru 'em and call it good. The more I think about it, this seems to be the answer.
I understand the rationale for the splined head, to keep the pin from turning in the hinge plate, but the other half of the hinge rotating on the stationary pin simply transfers all the wear to the rotating plate. Brass (brazing rod filler) would be easy to drill, seem to be a little "smoother" in operation and would be repairable down the road.
A carriage bolt would accomplish the same "fixed pin" operation, be super cheap, I can get 'em today at the hardware store. Just dropping the stainless pin in the bored out hinge would seem to me to last another 70 years, far longer than I will care about the doors sagging anyway.
The other problem is now mounting the lower hinge in line with the upper, so as to keep the door fit right. I think I'll drop a 5/16 rod thru the upper body hinge, and locate the lower, on the rod, to the cowl. Seems this would also work with the door, and hopefully they'll line up right. I plan on using a moveable 'nut plate' on the doors lower hinge, so I'll have a little in and out adjustment. Leaving the doors tack welded to the body would be much easier...
Any thoughts on all this nonsense?
Take a micrometer or vernier with you to measure the true diameter of those carraige bolt shanks. They may well be undersize and you would end up needing an odd drill bit size that you don't have unless you are a machinist
There are repro pins for other makes of cars/trucks which have the splined part and a rounded head. Just cut to your length.....yea, I know you don't want to mailorder
Thanks for the reply. Ya, I know, I should just buck up and by hinges. Good idea to check the dia. when I'm "shopping". I was thinking of simply grinding down shank (square) of the carriage bolt a bit, straking it with a small chisel, and hammering 'em into the (heated red hot) hinge plates. My thought is, the hinges are shot anyway, I can't really hurt them. The doors swung and latched on only the upper hinge, with the pins broken, holes all worn, with just the door check strap supporting the bottom of the entire door. How much worse could they be?
I had thought of drilling out the plates and using some bushings, but I believe the boss' are too small to do this.
The pins in my Door Hinges in my '35 were also rusted/broken-I went through two of those Drake Tools, and also had a Machine Shop build a better push pin before I realized there was no saving them-I put the Wescott Hinges in (they are of good quality) and would recommend them (if you go that way)-I don't know how many you have to do, but I think I may have a spare set if you need it-
I also considered doing what you are suggesting but was concerned about getting everythin to line up and swing without binding-
The tiny slop in the bolts where the hinges bolt to the body and door will more than make up for any misalignment in the pins.
Brian, your ideas will work, just oversized "pins" made from bolts are one way of doing it. Oversized pins from other cars will work as well. You obviously have a good head on your shoulders and you could do it.
I put a "how-to" on doing hinges on the forum a few months ago, maybe there is something there for you?
"Basics of Basics" Door hinge rebuilding (click here)
Before you go to the store looking for bolts, try a good auto parts store. Mine has a plastic box behind the counter (you need to ask for it) with a multitude of door hinge pins and brass bushings in different sizes that you can buy individually from.
You'll need to heat the hinge plates to remove rusted pins, this is common and I've never seen any pins that can't be removed this way. Bore the holes out to 5/16" and find a pin that fits well. On some designs you can drill a small grease hole in the hinge plate and use a needle point grease gun tip to lubricate the hinge now and then. A spiral shallow cut grease groove cut into the new pin with a dremel tool also helps. I wouldn't buy replacement hinges if your originals are rebuildable.
Thanks for all the response. I like Bobs idea of a grease hole and grove in the pin. I bought some long 5/16 bolts just now and am prepared to inflict some more vehicular mayhem on the hinges. Spent some quality time in the morning rounding the door corners and building the new inner door panel bottom to finish up the "sectioning. Looks great, and didn't warp the outer skin at all. Nice.
Turns out the carriage bolt idea won't work. I should have known this, but carriage bolts are threaded all the way to the square shoulder, no shank. Duh. But, I can grind the heads down on the ones I have. I'll check out the replacement pins too, I was just assuming they'd be too large diameter from a late model hinge for the very small Ford hinge boss.
I'm adding a couple of photos to show what I'm up to. I think it's starting to look like something.

I know the advertisers on this site don't want to hear this but I boycot repro parts. I am working to use as few as possible on my truck. There are plenty of NOS and good used out there.
HA! It worked! The passenger door is now hanging on the hinges, on the car. I still have to reinforce the bottom hinge area of the door, as this is a "new" location after sectioning the door, but it's on there. Opens, shuts, reasonably well. I have hanging now on the "all thread" thru both hinges, which did a good job of aligning things. I'll adjust it after all the welding is done, and the hinge plates are permanently attatched. It's close enough to fitting that I know I can fine tune the adjustment. On old Fords, this is done by springing the hinges with pry bars and tweaking with blocks, as there is NO adjustment in the mounts. I have a little in and out on each hinge, as I slotted the mounting holes and made nut plates, but it's only about 1/4", if that.
So, tommorow, I hope to finish that side up, and knowing now how to do things, get the other door mounted and fit as well. One more thing to check of the (very slowly shrinking) list of things to do!
You can add and remove shims to the cowl where it mounts to the frame, this is how you raise and lower or tip the door up or down on the old fords. Bending the hinges is also sometimes a necessity.

Spicy Glazed Shrimp
Bin 8945 Wine Bar & Bistro Los Angeles
These shrimp, which are coated in a fiery butter sauce, are based on a dish that chef Matt Carpenter encountered at cook shacks along the beach in Jamaica's Montego Bay. The surprise ingredient is ketchup, which is often used in Caribbean cooking.
Slideshow: More Amazing Shrimp Recipes
- Servings: 8
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 11/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Pimentón de la Vera (smoked Spanish paprika)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 21/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 baguette, sliced
How to make this recipe
In a blender, combine the melted butter with the ginger, ketchup, white wine vinegar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cayenne and smoked paprika; blend until smooth. Transfer the butter sauce to a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a very large skillet, heat the oil. Add the shrimp and cook over moderate heat, turning, until just white throughout, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter sauce and toss to coat the shrimp. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and serve hot with the bread.

Being based in Queensland, I can't say that I pay a lot of attention to Victorian state politics. Its a bit like the AFL – I have some background knowledge because of the noise that's around, but I can't claim to follow it closely.
As a result, I don't know much about the Victorian opposition leader, Daniel Andrews. I did, however, see him on today's Insiders program, and would have to say that I was impressed.

I'm thinking of doing a movie room and putting a projector and screen in it. Are there any reasonable projectors that has a good picture? I'm open for ideas and comments..I would also like to hook my cable box up to it also if possible
I'd suggest browsing sites like http://www.newegg.com/ to see specs, price ranges, and reviews.
Most of the projectors I've seen have RCA inputs for composite/component video, as well as HDMI and VGA. So yeah, hooking up your cable box won't be a problem.
Thanks Jay!
Depending on how big of a screen you choose, and how far away the seating area is, you may be able to save a bit of money by buying a 720p projector instead of a 1080p, and not tell a difference. There are a ton of variables here, and it's likely the best expert is going to be you.
Thanks hyunelan2!! I am on a budget lol
The best place to gather some info:
Use the calculator to make sure the projector you like will work with the screen size and seating distance.
Nothing like having a projector and screen, and then finding out that you've wired in the wrong location....
Thanks ktkelly!
1 thing you need to understand. the "room" itself will make a big difference in how the image will look. if you have a light colored room and/or light leakage and/or shinny objects in the room, will have a large impact on what you end up seeing at movie time.
Thanks fix!
and watch out when buying a "pull down" screen. many/most/all of the cheaper units develope "waves". the screen actually is not flat.
this can effect the image, though some may not notice it.
search "thrifty white board screen" and see what you come up with.
Ok I'll check it out thanks agin
i forgot i made this video. and look at my other videos. my system really does kick some butt.
What did u pay for your projector
hmm, it was about $1200 iirc. but this model started out at $5000, from custom installers only. they couldn't sell them, because they are not "user freindly" . so they kept dropping the price till they sold em all off. that was a few years ago.
it has been about 1 1/2 years since i have used mine. i moved and have not set it back up yet. my point, i don't know about them newer models out. but, if you spend over $1000 for just the projector, you will be plenty happy with what you get.
google veiwsonic pro8100 and see where that takes you.
btw. if you ever find my 8100 for sale from a retailer DO NOT DO NOT buy it. the later units had problems that can't be fixed.

More than 240 kilograms of corn — enough to feed one person for a year — is required to produce 100 litres of ethanol.
With the cost of corn already pushing up food prices, a spokesman for the Grocery Manufacturers Association called the projection alarming.
The US Government's ethanol drive may have boosted the fortunes of corn farmers.
About 1500 activists, led by radical French farmer Jose Bove, have ripped up a field of transgenic corn in south-west France.
The women making blue corn tostadas knead the dough before flattening it, their palms bright blue.

I have head my thyroid checked numerous times,it is always normal.
I used to walk every morning-I started last spring-and LOVED it.
I walked FAST ,worked up a sweat,lost weight and felt GREAT.
I know-why can't I do it now?
I just can't get off my lazy ass,I guess.
I would much rather sleep.
In fact,I would rather sleep than just about anything these days.
It would be nice to sleep at night,but of course,I am too hot and fidgety and can't shut my brain off,and toss and turn.....***** ***** *****.....I fall asleep a good 2 hours after my head hits the pillow.
I have talked to my doctors about this and have had tests and there isn't anything wrong with me other than I am slightly anemic.(I always have been)
Last night I was lying in bed thinking "tomorrow I am going to get up ,get my son off to the bus stop and WALK!" I was SO motivated-at 10pm!
This am,I crawled back under the sheets and slept 4 more hours.
Thank you ,Blyss and Mandy,I am going to read the info you provided!

too many of us are winning, or not enough are posting their deaths so i decided to post this wonderful tragedy. this hapened about a month ago, but i have not had the time to get it up (helloooo!) here. all of my mods are suspension-oriented with a few others not worth mentioning, so i am basicaly driving a stock engine.
i was driving back from a wedding with my girlfriend in RI late one saturday night when i see an S2K in front of me that looks interesting. i catch up to it and it turns out to be the same nasty-a$$ black wide-body S2K from the boston HIN (if you were there you know which which one i am talking about). so i pull up behind it and notice he is cruising with about 4 or 5 other cars - an evo, and rsx-s, and a couple of civics. i spy an evo and pace him just for fun. he looks over and we start laughing and take off. i drop into 3rd and have my nose at his rear door until i have to shift to 4th...then he's gone. i knew i would get lit up but wanted to have some fun anyways. he slows down until i catch up and we're having some more laughs and waves and thumbs-up...you know the drill. so we go again and again he trounces me. again he slows down but i tap out. i pretty much threw up the french, i mean white, flag. he got the hint and went ahead of me.
but since i have a peni5 and want to beat someone in front of my gurl i slow down until the rsx-s catches up to me. looks pretty stock, HIDs and at least a back box as far as i could tell. i tell my gurl i can definitely beat this dood. so we're pacing and waving and then we do the 1-2-3 count and he takes off. i mean, he absolutely smoked me. i never even close. my jaw dropped clean off my face and fell onto the highway. "what the fukk was that?!" he slows down and we roll down the windows. i was stunned and he knew it. he was laughing his a$$ off at how surprised i was. i had to take my exit, so we exchanged honks. he waved and i threw up the sign of the beast and this has bothered me ever since. i was soooo sure i could take him. damn sleepers...

Earlier this year, we set out on a journey to create a new ministry at Long Hollow that would connect people with biblical resources for every day problems. After visiting some similar ministry centers, we decided to convert a small space at our Hendersonville campus into a place people could come to get advice, book recommendations and other great resources.
After months of hard work, HomeLink was born. Here's how we pulled it off (with a little help from the iPad)…
Paperless is the Way to Go
…and it's quite a bit cheaper in the long run! When we first embarked on the HomeLink project, the idea was to build a new resource center on campus containing dozens of magazine racks with resource sheets for every life stage and topic. However, if you've managed a paper environment for any period of time, you know how quickly the waste piles up; typos are found, information changes and hundreds of print pieces are thrown out every week (or every day, depending on how quickly things change).
It didn't take long for us to choose a different route. After some discussion, we decided to build our new ministry center around an iPad-based app where visitors could explore, print and email a wealth of resources at their leisure. It's much easier to manage than a paper environment, and it's surprisingly cost effective in the long run; we were able to pick up a handful of refurbished iPad's and a nice AirPrint laser printer for just over $2000.
The result is a high tech environment that's easy to use, and even easier for us to maintain (more on that in my last point below). Check out the 360 degree view of our HomeLink Center, which opened to the public the first Sunday of September.
You Probably Already Know How to Build an App
At the heart of the HomeLink Center is the HomeLink iPad web app (be sure to check out the brief demo above). Although the thought of coding a native iPad/iPhone app may make you sweat in your sleep, you would be surprised at what you can build with the web tools and skills that you're already familiar with.
Everything you see in the video above is just simple HTML, CSS and the jQuery JavaScript framework. To bring it all together, we used the awesome Kiosk Pro App; it's basically a locked down version of Safari that you can customize in dozens of ways to create an app-like experience.
After a few weeks of intensive UI tweaking, I think we ended up with a web app that looks nice and is easily understood by our visitors.
Making Things Easy to Manage
The final piece of the puzzle was to make this whole setup easy to update for our ministry staff. To do this, I built a quick CMS where our growth and discipleship team can upload, delete and categorize all of the resources we make available through the HomeLink Center and the HomeLink portion of our website. Our staff simply logs in, clicks on the name of any resource, and they can upload a new PDF or modify categories within a matter of seconds.
To fix a typo in a paper environment, we would have to remove all of the old resource sheets, modify the template and go print dozens more copies to put back on the shelf the next day. In HomeLink, we can generally fix the typo and update the app before the visitor who noticed the typo has even left the room. It helps us to work smarter, not harder.
So that's HomeLink! If you're ever at our Hendersonville Campus, be sure to stop by and check it out (let me know if you're coming; i'd be happy to give you a tour). Have you used iPads in creative ways at your ministry? Let us know in the comments below.

Ahmedabad, Nov 20: Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar, on Monday said that young Cheteshwar Pujara can be considered for the shorter format as well after a good stint in the longer version of the game.
Try playing Pujara in ODIs: Gavaskar
Pujara, who scored 206 in the first innings and 41 in the second, played fabulously in the first Test against England, while he also outscored Sehwag, in terms of scoring runs, as he was collecting runs quickly.
When asked Sunil Gavaskar about the same, the former Indian skipper said the Saurashtra batsman can be tried for shorter formats as well.
"Something that certainly can be given a try, because he has got the basics right. If you have the basics right then expanding your shot-making capabilities is not so much of a problem," Gavaskar said.
Moroever, he also added that playing in the shorter version of the game, gives a player a lot of freedom to go for shots and collect runs quickly which generally boosts the confidence of the cricketer.
Sunil Gavaskar also pointed out that Pujara, needs time to settle down before going for shots, which is probably the reason for not being promoted in the order, as he has always been under pressure to perform when he comes in to bat while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.
"You have the licence to play lot more shots in the limited overs cricket than in Test cricket. It is just a matter of confidence. He has been in the IPL teams... He hasn't really got an opening. Even there he bats down the order, where he has got to come in and start hitting the ball in the air soon enough. That is not something that he is comfortable with," he told a channel.
Gavaskar heaped praise on the youngster, as he remained unbeaten in both the innings, which also earned him the man of the match award, as his innings helped India win the first Test match against England by 9 wickets.
"What he showed by hitting the ball down the ground and getting boundaries, he can also score at a fast pace," Gavaskar added.

I just found out a friend of mine had gotten out of the Red Sox game and was close to the second explosion. She saw some bad stuff. I guess she's pretty shaken up. But she's out of the city. She told me some of it but then she said she just cant talk about it anymore. She's scared. She said she's never had to run for her life before.
Anyone heard from Saria?
Ah, it all makes sense now. Goldy is the puppet master!

Hey guys, was wondering if you could shed a little light on some of the gauges I have mounted in my car and what they are used for? I know of course the boost gauge but what about air/fuel ratio? pyrometer?
Also, what do you guys think about the look of the gauges in the car? I have mixed emotions.

I just finished the holiday party circuit this week, the capstone being a party at the Standard. I think I've had an unspeakable amount of champagne, or perhaps there is no such thing.
Have a lovely holiday!
I just finished the holiday party circuit this week, the capstone being a party at the Standard. I think I've had an unspeakable amount of champagne, or perhaps there is no such thing.
Have a lovely holiday!
2011 was one of those years where things went so right and so wrong.
At the start of the year we had just moved to New York, so I was determined to make the most of my life in the city — namely, taking a class at Parsons. That class helped me land an internship at Lonny magazine. It was meant to be short-term, but I ended up staying.. indefinitely!
Other notable moments of the year: visiting a letterpress studio in Brooklyn, meeting blogger friends in New Orleans, scoring a Jonathan Adler chair for cheap, celebrating my first wedding anniversary, and learning to be grateful for the beauty in our world.
My 2011 has a very real divide. Everything before June 23, and after. I was in a car accident with a drunk driver that day, which left me with a crushed wrist, broken sternum, fractured vertebrae, a broken leg, a stretched ACL, and internal injuries. If you pray for anything, pray for your health above all. And universal health insurance.
Once I could walk again, I got a very important hair cut. And then did lots of shopping. Retail therapy, so important.
What's in store for 2012? I've been working for Jenny Komenda since the fall, and I'm now assisting her with room designs! I'll be at Alt this month too, so the year is off to an amazing start already.
We did a low key New Year's, ending with fireworks at Grand Army Plaza. I've always been a crier; it's almost as if I can feel the moment slipping away, and I mourn it in the instant. So while watching the fireworks, I fought back tears. The metaphor of the moment was too much.
To a very lovely 2012, hopefully filled with many more transcendental moments. And maybe a tad less drama.
We spent the holiday in the city, so it was low key but nice all the same. I seem to have the only parents in the world who don't insist I come home for Christmas, which I'm thankful for. They visit us often, and they accept being together when we can is the most important thing, not what date it happens to fall on. So we mailed gifts and planned for a cozy day at home.
On Christmas Eve we took a walk through our neighborhood to look at Christmas lights on the brownstones. It was completely still out, with very few pedestrians scurrying around. We looped around with a thermos of hot cocoa, taking in the uncanny scene. And then, in a moment of divine brilliance, we heard the burst of carols, as a nearby church let out its Christmas Eve service.
Of course there were sugar cookies. I made the icing much to thin this year. Major bummer.
We had the loveliest Christmas dinner of roasted pork shoulder with kumquats, brussel sprouts gratin, and a beet salad, plus some bubbly. So lucky to have a husband that loves to cook.
White Christmas capped off our evening. I will never, in all my life, tire of Bing Crosby's singing and Vera Ellen's dancing. The final scene always makes me cry!
How was your holiday?
This is our first year decorating for Christmas, despite having lived together for 3.5 years. We've always been somewhere else for Christmas, or in last year's case, we just moved and were existing among boxes, so it never made sense to decorate.
Our ornaments are mostly from Target, glittery bright things because I have the taste of a child. I did buy two "real" ornaments from Bloomingdales, to start a proper collection.
At some point I'd love to swipe my mom's stockings. They were originally hers and her siblings, embroidered with their initials. She would just turn them around for my brother and I when she hung them. They are beyond festive and adorable–green and red ticking stripes with rick rack trim–but I will accept these sequined stockings for the time being.
Our tree is perfectly pathetic. It's maybe 4 feet tall, and its backside is missing. I could carry it by myself, let's put it that way. I'm pretty sure people snickered at us as we walked home with our Christmas branch. Whatever, Brooklynites. You're just jelly.
While we decorated tree, we had warm cider and were able to listen to maybe four Mariah Carey Christmas songs before we were finished. So the tree has that going for it.
Are you decorating this year?

How Can Christians Transform Their Lives?
- Compiled by Gary Moon for Conversations Journal
- 2004 14 Sep
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to have been a fly on the wall during a conversation among members of the Inklings group– C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, etc.? While we can't help you with that, we can let you in on part of a four-hour, unscripted conversation among Dallas Willard, Larry Crabb and John Ortberg. This Inklings group was recently together for the production of a video curriculum based on Dallas' most recent book, "Renovation of the Heart" . As part of the taping, a soul talk conversation was arranged. What follows is Part Two of that conversation. (Read Part One.)

Jason Kidd's Ego Wins as Brooklyn Nets Lose
The tension between the Brooklyn Nets' rookie head coach Jason Kidd and former assistant Lawrence Frank has managed to overshadow the team's abysmal 6-14 start.
A report by NBA.com's David Aldridge reveals new details of the strained relationship, which was destined to fail from the moment the two stood together on the sideline. Frank was hired at Kidd's request to ease his transition to head coach and to do what Frank does best: focus on minutiae and tweak plays while serving as Kidd's mentor. This might have sounded good in theory, but once the clock started running, Kidd grew threatened by Frank's ability to simply do his job.
"The assistant's job is to stand up and call coverages," an NBA coaching source told Aldridge. "Jason didn't like it. He thought Lawrence was coaching the team."
The hit to Kidd's ego has resulted in profanity-laden rants and last week's reassignment of Frank to keeping unspecified "daily reports," which sounds like the NBA equivalent of Bart Simpson's writing on the chalkboard. It's only a matter of time before Frank is free from basketball exile; he's retaining legal counsel to seek a buyout of his six-year, $6 million contract, after which the Nets can go back to focusing on not winning games.
The thing is, it didn't have to come to this. Kidd knew exactly what he was getting into when he hired Frank, having played under him for seven seasons from 2001 to 2008 on the New Jersey Nets. In fact, it was at Kidd's urging that the team promoted Frank from assistant to head coach in 2004, after the unceremonious firing of Byron Scott. Kidd learned that season that petulance pays, publicly berating Scott before petitioning management to sever ties. He ultimately got his way, leaving Scott -- at that time the winningest coach in Nets history -- out to dry.
Now Frank suffers a fate similar to the man he replaced. Kidd needs to get over whatever insecurity he has if he wants to succeed as a head coach. His long, successful playing career may have helped him earn his players' trust, but he can just as easily lose hold of an underachieving team of big-name stars if he lets his ego get in the way.

The Marshes had no children, and Eric Marsh himself was an only child.
During the offseason, he worked as an instructor, helping to train hundreds of Arizona firefighters. Marsh liked to say that working on the Hotshot crew "turned boys into men," according to his family.
"He was a loving and caring son, and he was compassionate and concerned about the well-being of the crew members," Marsh's father, John, said. "He was concerned for them, not just in the fire. They were like his family."
Grant McKee, 21, was training to be an emergency technician and only intended to work for with the Hotshots for the summer.

Uber is furthering its expansion in Asia with a couple of major new initiatives. On Wednesday, the ride-hailing app opened a customer service center in Hyderabad, India, to service riders and drivers across Asia. The bigger headline, however, is that the company also announced the launch of its motorcycle taxi service, "UberMOTO."
To start testing the waters of rides on two wheels, Uber is rolling out an UberMOTO pilot program in the heavily congested city of Bangkok, Thailand. Known for heavy traffic and daily commutes that can take up to 2 hours each way, the city should serve as a proper proving ground for a motorcycle taxi service that Uber describes as being "specifically developed for cities in emerging markets."
UberMOTO will be competing with several other ride-hailing apps that are already established in the region, including Didi Kuaidi and GrabTaxi. The latter launched its own motorbike service in Bangkok last year, which it also now offers in Vietnam and Indonesia.
Asia's abundance of densely populated cities make the region a prime target for Uber's expansion. A service like UberMOTO could appeal to many commuters in traffic jam-prone areas like Bangkok as a means of getting around the congested roads and cutting down on daily commutes. The region has been embracing new two-wheeled modes of transportation lately. Last year, Taiwan's capital city of Taipei served as the home for Gogoro's electric scooter pilot program. The program proved successful and Gogoro is now setting up shop with its eco-friendly Smartscooters in other countries.
UberMOTO fares begin at 10 TBH (approximately $0.30 USD) and increase by 3.5 TBH (approximately $0.10 USD) per kilometer. Riders can request an UberMOTO using the existing Uber app.
With last year's launch of UberBoat and now the arrival of UberMOTO, who knows what new modes of transportation the company will set its sights on next. It seems like only a matter of time before there really is "Uber Everywhere."

v6: Sloppy eps/pdf vector-format export compared to v5?
Hello Mathgroup,
consider the following input lines, which concern a square with rounded
edges (please take care, files with name "tstuvwxyz.***" are generated
in the current directory!):
(*Do not evaluate if you have important files named \
tstuvwxyz.* *)
r1 = {Line[{{0, 0}, {0.95`, 0}}],
Circle[{0.95`, 0.05`},
0.05`, {4.71238898038469`, 6.283185307179586`}],
Line[{{1, 0.05`}, {1, 0.95`}}],
Circle[{0.95`, 0.95`},
0.05`, {6.283185307179586`, 7.853981633974483`}],

tstuvwxyz.* *)
Export["tstuvwxyz.eps", r1]
Export["tstuvwxyz.pdf", r1]
Export["tstuvwxyz.dxf", r1]
Export["tstuvwxyz.png", r1, ImageSize -> 2000]
In V5.xx the rendering and exported files look fine, the edges are
smoothly joined (except the 2D dxf does not work in v5).
In 6.01 the rendering on the screen looks just fine, but if you zoom
into the eps or pdf files (and emf and wmf too) and look at the edges of
the square, then there is an ugly offset of about line thickness between
the circle and line ends that should not be there. In fact in the
hires-png and dxf the gap is not present.
Is there a workaround here, am I doing something wrong or is it a plain bug?

CMF Festival Talk II: C.P.E. Bach: The legacy & impact of a 18th c. pioneer
Chelsea Music Festival
Monday, June 9, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 7:15 PM (EDT)
Who's Going

Event Details
Bar opens at 6:15pm; drinks and talk included in concert ticket price
C.P.E. Bach, the second son of Johann Sebastian Bach, became one of the most prolific and influential composers of the eighteenth century. His oeuvre encompassed virtually every musical genre of the time, except opera, and he wrote one of the most important and enduring music treatises on keyboard instruments. During his lifetime, he enjoyed a high reputation, and his music was widely distributed in print and in manuscript.
Naturally, there are numerous exhibitions to celebrate the 300th birthday of C.P.E. Bach all around the globe. Two of the most important ones had been mounted at Harvard University until recently. The Packard Humanities Institute—in cooperation with the Bach-Archiv Leipzig, the Sächsische Akademie zu Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, and Harvard University—is producing a critical edition, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: The Complete Works, projected to run to 115 volumes, with more than half that number now in print. The Institute's Managing Editor, Paul Corneilson, will speak about the past exhibit at Harvard and give a behind the scenes look at creating this complete edition that will be the basis for performances and continued studies of C.P.E. Bach's musical output for generations to come.

Merrill Lowers Frontier Airlines to 'Neutral'
Merrill Lynch downgraded Frontier Airlines (FRNT ) to "neutral," from "buy."
Analyst Michael Linenberg says Frontier rival United Airlines announced on Friday that its new low-fare carrier, Ted, won't charge more than $309 for a walk-up purchase on a non-stop flight (one way) to and from Denver. This cap almost matches Frontier's new $299 price cap on walk-up fares.
Linenberg notes United's walk-up fares will only be available in eight markets starting Feb. 12. (Frontier flies to 37 cities from Denver.) Still, he's concerned United could expand these lower fares to significantly more Denver markets.
Given that all of Frontier's revenue are tied to the Denver market, he now sees to his current fiscal 2005 (Mar.) forecast for Frontier. Linenberg sees 70 cents fiscal 2004 earnings per share, and $1.00 in fiscal 2005.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
The first step is talking to your doctor. The goal of treatment is to help him do well but minimize any side effects. There are always other options. Here is my take on "the ADHD controversy"...
There is clearly research showing that treating children early will improve their long term outcomes. However, you have to be careful. If there is any history of addiction in the family, you may want to consider non-stimulant medications. Some research shows that treating children early will prevent them from self-medicating later on with illegal drugs and developing an addiction. However, I have also seen some patients in whom the prescribed stimulant was the 1st addiction they got.
In addition, if there is any family history of bipolar, get your son evaluated by a qualified child psychiatrist. Bipolar and ADHD can look alike in children. Stimulants can make bipolar worse which is why it's vital to have him properly evaluated.
Also treat him holistically: nutrition & exercise are vital. There is more research showing that psychotherapy (particularly cognitive behavioral therapy) can also decrease ADHD symptoms. There is also more and more studies showing how formal relaxation therapy (books or classes on yoga, tai chi, meditation, etc.) can help not only decrease his ADHD, but improve his overall mental & physical health over the years.
I hope this helps. Good luck & take care.
Let me know if you have still have other questions.

This is not just because I am a planner in general, but also because I believe in enjoying the experience and celebrating the move once it is done. Both of these become difficult if you are stressing about the last minute details or trying to catch up on a month's worth of work!

Ocean Side Apartment is a lovely, well appointed apartment with a great view of the bay across from downtown Lunenburg, N.S. John and Gail Patriarche are very gracious hosts and Gail is a very accomplished artist.
We really enjoyed being able to stay in their lovely apartment...
Wow what can I say...John and Gail have a truly breath taking view from their apartment. Lunenburg is a beautiful little village about a hr and half from halifax. John directions are perfect. We took so many pictures. We took a drive through the annopalis valley then drove to the bay of fundy to Margaretville. We came a bit too early for the leaves to be turning so come at the end of September/October
The views will be amazing.
You will have the best time just touring around this quiet little village. John and Gail are perfect hosts. We can't thank you enough for sharing your paradise with us.
Robert and Kathy Arteau
I can sum it up in one word. EXCELLENT!!
A beautiful apartment, lovely views and great hosts. Property is exactly as described, even better probably. Couldn't ask for more and would recommend it to anyone looking for great accommodation.
The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect to explore Lunenburg and the surrounding area. We really enjoyed the view from the apartment and would have sat there to admire the view all day if we had time. The hosts, John and Gail, were very welcoming and available to help us whenever we needed it. The only thing that would have made our stay better would be if there was a larger bed, rather than a set of twin beds. Thanks John and Gail for a great stay.
The apartment is ideally situated across the harbor from Lunenburg - providing a picture perfect view of this absolutely charming town. My wife and I routinely walked into the town - it's about a 20 minute walk into the town center - some of it along a lightly traveled road and the rest along a walking trail. If we wanted a shorter walk we would just drive to the walking trail and park (of course, street parking in town is an option - we just like to walk). The apartment is well maintained with a nice kitchen, comfortable bedroom and relatively spacious (for an apartment) dining and living area with a bay window providing the great view. I can't say enough nice thing about our hosts - very welcoming and informative about the area (from restaurant recommendations to advice on places to visit outside of Lunenburg). Our favorite restaurant in town is the Fish Factory (calamari, haddock, lobster - situated right on the harbor), but there is no shortage of good restaurants in Lunenburg. In the same building as the restaurant is the Fisheries Museum - they provide a very worthwhile tour. We also especially enjoyed a two hour sailing trip that takes you outside the harbor to a site on the coast with sea caves (that that we had driven to a day prior). Another worthwhile day trip is making the short drive to Mahone Bay - a smaller, picturesque town with good restaurants and shops (check out the pewter shop - they demonstrate how they make their jewelry and ornaments). All in all a great, restful and scenic vacation. I highly recommend the property.

Hello everybody, as im reading to see if anyone has previously posted any of the same problems that I have been having and hadn't found anything so im going to post a thread so I hope someone could help me. I have a 2003 VW jetta 1.8T obviously with the auto transmission. My car can shift from 1st to 2nd with ease but it always has a hard time shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Sometimes I can get it to shift easily with barely any torque but when I need a quick shift it wont shift until around 3100 rpms, and it usually kicks. So is it just the solenoids (N88, N89, N92)? Or is it something else? If I do replace these possibly bad solenoids do I need to do them all?And do I need a gasket kit if I take off the tranny pan?
Also im getting this rattling noise from the tranny almost like a grinding noise. What is that?
Thanks for reading this long post and hope you can help

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 24, 2013.
Roscoe could tell you what that is in a second!
What will pistons get if they will be in 8th or lower worst spot teams in nba? They dont have 1st rd pick Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
The first round pick that is due to Charlotte, is bottom 8 protected Kristijan. So if we finish 8th or worse, we can still use it. In fact, if we finish 9th or 10th and somehow get to pick 8th or lower, we still get to keep it. But in my time following the Pistons, we have never been that lucky. We usually lose a spot in the draft.
You were not around for the gift that was the Darko pick, then.
Keth Langlois finally calls a spade a spade - and we can take it as the official statement from the organization: Pistons Mailbag - March 19, 2014 | THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE DETROIT PISTONS Not extending contract of Joe Dumars is written on the wall.
I don't know where this goes, but its really cool. Check out the relationship between Jennings and Monroe
The Drummond - Singler line is as thin as the arm of Austin Daye.
Cool stuff. I'm thinking skinny lines aren't all that good.
The Singler to anyone lines too. Classic ballhog. Looks like Lee was right, and Singler is the big problem.
I'd have been interested to see Kobe on that chart.
Griffin-Paul is just sick.
They are phat.
Reddit. The chart was on Reddit.
I have a feeling that Stuckey would just be an isolated data point, sort of a can't-divide-by-zero type of error.
This is good news for the Pistons. They will have their own NBDL team now and not have to share it with 5 other teams. Detroit Pistons getting their own D-League team in Grand Rapids | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
This I like. Adds legitimacy to Gores' claims that he wants to build a winner.
Gore's already had his own d league team.
Maybe Joe can go run this squad and see if he can earn his way back to the top? He's probably pissed. This would have been a good place to stick all his discarded coaches.
Looks like Jennings either connects quickly with Singler, or it becomes a black hole.
Check the Wade - James line in that graphic.. not as thick as I would thought.
Separate names with a comma.

In a speech laden with criticism of Europe's currency union for "experimenting" with the island's fate, the president of Cyprus has said the risk of bankruptcy has been contained and it has no intention of leaving the euro.
Nicos Anastasiades was speaking a day after banks reopened following an almost two-week shutdown to avert a run on deposits by worried Cypriots and wealthy foreign depositors as the country raced to secure a rescue package from the European Union.
Mr Anastasiades said restrictions imposed on bank transactions in Cyprus – unprecedented in the currency bloc since euro coins and banknotes entered circulation in 2002 – would be gradually lifted. But he gave no time frame.
Barely a month in the job and wrestling with Cyprus's worst crisis since the 1974 war that split the island in two, he accused the 17-nation euro currency bloc of making "unprecedented demands that forced Cyprus to become an experiment".
But he added: "We have no intention of leaving the euro. In no way will we experiment with the future of our country."
Cyprus's difficulties have sent jitters around the already fragile eurozone, and the imposition of capital controls has led economists to warn that a second-class "Cyprus euro" could emerge, with funds trapped on the island worth less than euros that can be freely spent abroad.
European leaders have insisted the tax raid on big bank deposits in Cyprus is a one-off that is needed to tackle a debt crisis that refuses to be contained.

A 37-year-old Tonganoxie man pleaded guilty to child rape and three other counts Friday for molesting a girl when she was first 6 years old, Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said.
Edward Everitt Peel Jr. entered the pleas in Leavenworth County District Court, and Thompson said Peel is expected to be sentenced to serve 23 years in prison.
On the rape and two aggravated indecent liberties counts, Thompson said Peel molested the girl multiple times between June 2002 and December 2004, when she was between 6 and 8 years old, while the girl was visiting other children at a Tonganoxie residence. Peel also pleaded guilty to soliciting the child several years later when she was 14 years old.
Thompson said the offenses occurred prior to Jessica's Law passing in Kansas, under which defendants can face a life sentence for child sex crime convictions.
Peel's sentencing is scheduled for June 24. Assistant county attorney Cheryl A. Marquardt prosecuted the case.

text: Posted September 29, 2012 QUINCY, ILL. -- A Quincy mother is upset over the way she said school officials treated her son who has autism during an incident Friday at Baldwin South Intermediate School. Brandi Kirchner said that her 9-year-old son Roger Parker, Jr. had "a meltdown" during class. School officials sent him to a special area to calm down. The boy climbed a dividing wall and the school called in a police officer to deal with him, the mother said. In the attempt to pull Roger off the wall, the officer pulled the boy by his arms and legs, causing him to hit his eye on the divider, Kirchner said. The officer then tried to restrain the boy when Roger swung around and kicked the officer in his nose, Kirchner said. Kirchner said the officer pulled her son to the floor. He was handcuffed and taken to the police station. She had to go to the station to get her son. "I asked to see my son. Forty-five minutes later, after they told me he did not need a parent present because he was under arrest and not being interrogated," she said. "He was fingerprinted, photographed and booked for aggravated battery to a police officer." http://www.connecttristates.com/news/story.aspx?id=805042&fb_comment_id=fbc_519369261411943_113278635_519470304735172#f37239ed7c18548 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Staining problems..
I bought an unfinished cabinet from Lowes & I am trying to stain it, I am using Minwax Polyshades(satin & polyurethane)1 Step BomBay Mahogany Satin.
I didn't treat it with anything before applying the stain.
I think its OAK.
Well, my husband tried to stain one of the doors on it & it has some like thick spots on it that are just way to dark, I stained the other door & it looks so much better.
I noticed that while he was staining the one door it started to like get these tiny bubbles in it. Whats that???
I was told to lightly sand over the doors with "Steel Wool" so I did & it didn't lighten up the door he had done. It looks kinda gummy in certain spots. So, then I tried using some sandpaper(400superfine) & it isn't working.
I used a paint brush to apply the stain also.
Any advice ??? Thanks
Stains consist of three components: pigments, dyes and a carrier. The carrier determines whether the stain is oil- or water-based.
Staining permanently changes the wood's appearance, so always test a stain before applying it. One option is to test stain on an area of the piece that won't show--such as the bottom or back. Another is to use a piece of scrap wood for a tester. Because each stain produces a distinctive look on different types of wood, it's crucial to use a scrap from the same wood as the furniture is made.
Stir or shake stain before beginning, as heavier pigments tend to settle in the can.
If the test-piece looks blotchy when you apply stain, you might need to apply a wood conditioner first. If so, apply a liberal amount of the appropriate type of wood conditioner (water- or oil-based, depending on your stain) about 15 minutes before staining.
Apply the stain, making even strokes with a brush, rag or pad. After a few minutes, wipe off excess stain with a cloth. Leaving the stain on longer usually yields a darker color.
Once the entire piece is stained, let it dry overnight. Apply more stain if you wish to darken the wood further. As it dries, the stained finish may take on a dull look. A fresh appearance will return when finish is applied later. :)
Also i think you may find its not oak but Birch thats seems to be the only unfinished ones they sell.
The bubbles most likely is applying too much at one go.
I had already applied the stain when I posted this.. my husband did 1 door & it doesn't look good, I want to take it off, because it looks real thick in 1 spot. What can I do?
I think you may have to strip all off and start again.
The best way to strip the cabinets is to use a solvent based paint remover. It will work the fastest and most completely. Sanding is time consuming, messy and does not do a complete job.
If after stripping the finish you have any residual color in the wood, use a chlorine bleach to remove it. Clorox will work. :)
Like Ix said.
Bleaching will raise the grain, so be prepared to sand some more.
Try applying the stain with a damp (with stain) cheesecloth. Practice on a scrap first before tackling the 'project'. Wear gloves and rub it in. A little practice and you'll get the hang of it.
It will have to be stripped

CHRIS SCHAUB USED TO SPEND MORE time with a clipboard than with a compiler. As a software development manager at Thomson & Thomson, Schaub had the tedious job of updating the project schedule by asking all of the developers how far along they were on their assigned tasks. He was also responsible for distributing the Gantt chart that tracked their progress to all the team members, at the cost of considerable time and toner.
These days, Schaub's job is much simpler. "You want to know where the project is?" he asks. "Log in and look at the collaboration tool."
Since early 1999, Schaub and the 15-person development staff at the trademark and copyright research company in Quincy, Mass., have used Inovie Software Inc.'s TeamCenter as a collaborative project-management tool. Thomson & Thomson is one of a growing number of companies whose development departments have embraced collaboration tools. Although IT departments are early adopters -- these software packages are natural extensions of what managers are already doing with a project-management package or paper -- most of these project-collaboration tools are general enough to be used by any type of team. The software's key capabilities -- chat, discussion forums and resource-allocation features -- overcome the problems that arise when teams consist of people in different physical locations and when workers simultaneously juggle several projects. Once, software tools for programming teams meant a code repository and a bug-tracking database. But as companies find themselves hiring distributed project teams and juggling multiple simultaneous projects, they are turning to tools that provide the communication and resource-allocation features that traditional programming utilities lack.
According to David Coleman, managing director at San Francisco-based Collaborative Strategies LLC, another factor driving IT departments to use project-collaboration tools is a growing realization within companies that writing software involves more people than programmers and more processes than churning out lines of code. Teams can consist of business analysts, quality-assurance testers and upper-level management, among others. And these expanded teams are not sharing just code, he says; they're sharing questions about code. Issues like determining which projects will have the best rate of return, matching skill sets to project needs, and coordinating the testing and fixing phases of the debugging cycle dominate the discussion.
Rushing to fill the project-team void are collaboration-centric products from new vendors like Inovie, Instinctive Technology Inc. and Netmosphere Inc., as well as project-management solutions with expanded collaboration features from established vendors like ABT Corp., Planview Inc. and Primavera Systems Inc. Even programming-tools vendors such as Rational Software Corp. have joined the party.
It's difficult to make an apples-to-apples comparison among these products, but all of them rely on the Internet and intranets to provide a foundation for collaboration. People are just starting to realize the benefits of the Web as an interactive medium, suggests Coleman.
Also, these tools let team members access the project documentation and status files appropriate to their job functions. For example, a programmer could see which tasks he was assigned and read the latest bug reports, but he wouldn't be able to look or amend the budget. This is a different workstyle than the one driven byy most project-management tools, in which a chart is maintained solely by a project manager.
The other features these tools offer depend on their heritage. For example, a project-management and collaboration tool like TeamCenter tracks multiple projects at a task level, including a Gantt chart view; maintains a shared space for projects where multiple users can access documents such as proposals and specifications; and supplies forums for questions and discussions. It doesn't offer any development-specific capabilities, however, like a bug-tracking module. A pure collaboration product like Instinctive Technology's eRoom features a shared directory for project files and discussion forums, but no integral Gantt charting or software-development tools. Netmosphere splits its project-collaboration framework into two pieces: a shared directory for project files and a scheduling and task module.
None of these products specifically targets IT organizations with software-development tools, such as debuggers. They have chosen to be generalist tools, adaptable to any project, from designing a software application to planning a company retreat. The collaborative tools that descended from project-management suites, like Primavera Systems' TeamPlay, PlanView's PlanView Software and ABT's Results Management Suite, are firmly grounded in traditional project-management methodologies and have additional features for tracking project metrics, allocating resources, and communicating and collaborating among team members.
Other vendors target different vertical markets. Rational has added collaboration capabilities to parts of its Rational Suite. NexPrise Inc. has customized its ipTeam collaboration product for engineering organizations, especially companies in the aerospace, automotive and high-tech fields. Cubus Corp.'s ReviewIt solution targets architecture, engineering and construction firms. Because the market offers such diverse tools, picking one depends less on the features and capabilities of the products themselves and more on the goals of the individual users.
Geography Gyrations
For Allan Tate, program manager at Schneider Automation Inc., a developer of industrial automation systems in North Andover, Mass., geography drove his decision to invest in Rational's products. His company is the result of a merger among various organizations located in France, Germany and the United States. Rational's ClearCase appealed to him for its distributed-teams support, which allows him to tie together the company's remote locations. Rational's integrated set of development-centric modules provides a way to unify the work processes of 150 developers and testers, who come from disparate national and corporate cultures.
Although Tate is banking on measurable ROI from Rational in the form of improved efficiency and higher product quality, he's had to bring in other tools to beef up the suite. Its shortcoming, he points out, is that it is not a complete distributed environment. Not all the modules in the suite have multisite capabilities -- ClearQuest doesn't support a replicated database, for example. He was also dissatisfied with the way project archives were distributed, so he integrated Rational with Lotus Notes in order to organize project documentation.
At Priceline.com, the name-your-price e-commerce site, CIO Ron Rose doesn't want to use his project-collaboration system to connect with people across the ocean; he wants to connect with people across the hall. His goal is shortening time-to-market, which means coordinating the work done in the IT department with that in the product-development and marketing departments. He's aiming for one to three months between idea and execution of all projects; his current time-to-market ranges from three to nine months. He's in the process of bringing Primavera's TeamPlay into the Stamford, Conn.-based e-commerce company in order to provide a prooject-collaboration system for 200 people, including the entire technical department and their colleagues in accounting, business development and upper-level management.
One way Rose thinks he can achieve that three-month goal is by tapping into hard-earned wisdom acquired during previous projects. Rose's IT department modifies the software on the Priceline.com Web site as frequently as 150 times a month. By using TeamPlay to manage those changes, he can capture information to improve future projects: information like what tasks are required to build a new product, accurate estimates of time to complete tasks, and where the pitfalls are. In addition, Rose hopes TeamPlay will help him manage dozens of simultaneous projects by enabling him to maximize his people resources and determine which projects give the biggest bang for the buck.
Ron Shevlin, a senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc. in Cambridge, Mass., says that CIOs like Rose are on the right track. "There's a need to manage across projects, not just individual projects," he says. One project has an impact on all the others, he explains, so he favors tools that start with collaboration first.
The Right Mix
Although none of these tools is the perfect blend of features, IT managers are finding that they are mature enough to become an essential part of their development toolkits. For the most part, Christopher Anderson, a principal with custom software development house Eques Technology Corp. in Wellesley, Mass., hasn't had problems integrating Instinctive's eRoom into his best-of-breed set of project management, development and collaboration tools. The company has moved to a Hollywood model of development teams -- that is, bringing in specialists as needed to fulfill a particular contract. eRoom enables Anderson to collaborate with people working in places like the Ukraine and India. It also works well with the Microsoft Project and Word applications Eques already relied on; Anderson can launch those applications from eRoom. That ability was important because Anderson didn't want to reinvent the wheel. "We wanted to use the tools we were already using, just use them more efficiently," he says.
Anderson chose eRoom because collaboration was the missing piece in his best-of-breed approach. He was relying on the telephone and e-mail; not only was this expensive and cumbersome, but he risked corrupting or losing large files that were sent through e-mail. Making sure everyone had the most recent version was a headache as well. With eRoom's central repository, everyone stays current, communications costs have decreased (in two months he saved enough on phone bills to pay for eRoom) and productivity is up. "If I were to take it away, I don't know how we'd operate," he says.

Some 94% of B2B buyers report conducting some degree of research online before making a business purchase, including 55% who do so for at least half of their purchases, finds the the latest annual State of B2B Procurement study [download page] from Acquity Group, part of Accenture Interactive. And while a growing proportion are now purchasing goods online, many are bypassing suppliers and buying from third-party sites.
Interestingly, the tendency to research online is becoming so mainstream that it applies across most price points. For example, 40% conduct online research for a majority of goods priced under $10,000, and 31% do so at that frequency for goods costing at least $100,000. Online research also doesn't necessarily need to be accompanied by sales representative involvement: respondents were about as likely to say that no sales person is necessary (10.4%) as they were to say they'd like to speak with someone directly in person (12.4%). (The remainder would like some form of phone or live chat support.)
While supplier websites are the most common channel used to research purchases, by 83.4% of survey respondents, a strong majority also use Google search (77%). Other research channels include user reviews of products (41.8%) and 3rd party websites (34%), though fewer use blogs (10.8%) and social media (8.6%). In a sobering result for vendors, just 37% of B2B buyers who use supplier websites to conduct research say that this is their most helpful channel.
Not surprisingly given the amount of research taking place online, B2B buying is also migrating online, in line with research last year detailing this shift from offline to online commerce. In this year's study, 68% of Acquity Group survey respondents report making online purchases, up from 57% last year. In fact, 46% of B2B buyers spent at least half of their corporate procurement budgets online in the last year, and almost 1 in 5 (18%) spent 90% or more.
There's no reason to believe that this shift won't continue: 46% of respondents expect to increase their online purchasing next year, and 41% feel comfortable purchasing any type of product category online. But the study finds that vendors are missing out on a large chunk of the market, as only 48% of B2B buyers report purchasing goods directly from supplier sites, with a sizable proportion instead using other platforms such as Amazon Supply (17%), SAP (13%) and Oracle Procurement (7%).
Finally, the report details the growth in use of mobile devices to research and make purchases;

Roth Capital Downgrades JDS Uniphase
Roth Capital downgrades JDS Uniphase (JDSU ) to neutral from buy.
Analyst Dave Kang says first-quarter sales were up 11.5% sequentially, and 32% year-over-year. He says the 1-cent, non-GAAP loss, compares to the 1-cent loss consensus. He notes gross margins declined to 22.7% from the fourth-quarter's 23.9%, due to stronger-than-expected communications sales. Operating expenses increased to $60.5 million, or 31.1% of sales, compared to 33.2% in the fourth-quarter of fiscal 2004.
Kang says JDS Uniphase expects second-quarter sales to be flat to down by 8% sequentially. He widens the 1-cent fiscal 2005 (June) loss estimate to a 2-cent loss, and cuts 5 cents fiscal 2006 earnings-per-share estimate to 4 cents. On reduced estimates, he cuts the $4.40 target to $3.60 and downgrades the stock.

She can "Watch videos and text," she says. But the male employee is having none of that. He tells her that they can be watching the earnings report and taking notes. She continues to show him some goofy things that Multi-Window can let you do, while he says that she can be "doing some work and some other kinds of work."

Hey all,
I just installed a 1012 Super nav radio in my 2007 Escalade and have a question. Everythig works great except the phone function in the radio. I can oplace a call using the button on the steering wheel or the mirror but the nav radio screen that has the phone number on itdoes nothing. I suspect this is because I don't have bluetooth, can someone confirm this or tell me what is going on? I have searched but can't find this.
P.S. How can I add bluetooth if it in fact is the problem.
