4T : TUNERbiography
words: George Achorn
3 August 2006
Q: Company Name?
Streetwerke, Inc.
Q: Contact Info?
Jason Leone (President) or Darren Warner (Sales Manager)
Web: www.streetwerke.com
Phone: 650-739-0820
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Location: 292 Lambert Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94306
Q: How did your company get its start?
Founded by Jason Leone as a high performance VW, Audi, and Porsche facility. We're located in Palo Alto, CA.
Q: How long have you been in business?
Streetwerke was established and incorporated in 2004.
Q: Who is your target customer?
VW, Audi, and Porsche enthusiasts that are looking for a nice shop that offers great customer service, quality products, and exceptional Service.
Q: What services do you provide?
We offer full factory recommended service and repair, to include preventive and scheduled maintenance ("K" services, etc.). We offer design services, installations, custom jobs, machine work, dynamometer testing, parts & accessories, and consulting. We can work with you at all levels with a tuning program custom tailored to your needs.
Q: What is your company philosophy?
Streetwerke has a simple philosophy. Performance first. Our focus of effort is the VW, Audi, and Porsche performance market. We strive to meet our customers' expectations in terms of quality and ultimate performance while ensuring safety. With this in mind, Streetwerke is committed to developing a long-term partnership with our customers. We realize that most European car enthusiasts have many choices when it comes to selecting a tuning shop for their needs. For some of you, having the best products and services becomes an important requirement. By conforming to our customers' needs and desires, we satisfy. We are results driven. With a background in business and mechanical engineering/design, we ask ourselves the hard questions and then find the answers. Streetwerke is not the type of company that builds flashy cars. We focus on "tactical performance". In other words, we build cars that perform in an amazing manner yet have subtle and understated visual cues. Simply put…more "go" than "show".
Q: What makes your company different/special?
We treat each customer car as if it were our own. We take great pride in what we do here at Streetwerke. We take the time to ask our customers important questions that help us assess their needs. In this way, we can exceed customer satisfaction and build a healthy customer relationship that grows with their needs and desires. We're technically proficient, and we're not afraid to share our knowledge in a value-added manor. Streetwerke also designs, builds, and markets some of our own products. We stand behind our parts, and put the customer first. We're also enthusiasts at heart, which makes a difference I think.
Q: What does the future hold for your company?
Streetwerke is making the move to manufacturing in late 2006. With our first line of products hitting the market (3.2L VR6 turbo systems), we hope to expand our product development role in the near future. Eventually, we're going to expand our facility to accommodate this new endeavor.
Q: What are your biggest challenges?
Getting Streetwerke more exposure in the world is a challenge thus far. We're looking forward to our product offerings being showcased in different forms of media in 2006 (TV, print, web). That exposure, combined with a marketing plan should take us to the next level as we move forward. We often struggle to manage our time between engineering and program management. Being a small company with only five full-time employees, our resources are always being tested. It's difficult to make the move from prototype to production, during product development.
Q: What are your greatest successes?
Making people happy with our ability to provide them with a reliable vehicle that's also fun to drive. It's very rewarding to have our customers give us positive feedback on any scale (in person, on the web forums, etc.). I think it's the smile on the face of the client who just got his engine management software upgraded that makes our day though. At the racetrack, we love to mentor our clients and see them grow as drivers. It's very rewarding to teach things to people (or share experiences), and I'd certainly call that a great success. In summary, it's the feeling of sharing the car passion with others and seeing them emotionally content. We've had fun with magazine competitions and such (Winner, 2005 Eurotuner GP), and won awards for Top Sales in the Western region for certain a prominent aftermarket manufacturer. We're also a Microsoft Game Studios partner, which means we've participated in the creation of both the Forza Motorsport, and the Project Gothem Racing series for Xbox and Xbox 360. Working with the original Ferrari F50 GT1 #001 car was a real honor for the Streetwerke Staff. Look for Streetwerke to have a virtual car in these popular video games in the future!
Q: How do you feel about auto manufacturers offering customers their own tuning products?
I think we'll always have OEMs that offer various levels of performance to the end-users. Is it the "best" performance? Probably not, since it's a compromise by default. That seems to be the way things go in the United States. Some other countries don't follow that belief system, so we see some interesting products coming from OEMs overseas. I think the automotive aftermarket is very strong here, and I don't really see the OEM options as a threat. If we see the OEMs winning at the racetrack, we certainly like that. It makes them more likely to create a performance offering to the public. If anything, that's seen as opportunity by Streetwerke. I'd like to think of the OEM tuning products are a great thing for us, since it creates interest in the brands. We specialize in developing that same brand interest with the vehicle owners, eventually honing it to a very sharp and focused state of being. The old saying "In a world of compromise, some don't." surely applies to Streetwerke.
Q: What personal cars do you and your staff drive?
I drive a 2001 Audi S4 6spd that's fairly modified. It's a daily driver that's been extremely reliable with the APR Stage III kit for over three years now. I also have a 2004 VW R32 in the stable (equipped with a Streetwerke GT380 turbo system). My Sales Manager drives a modified 2002 VW Jetta 1.8T, and two of my Technicians drive Volkswagens as well. The remaining Technician drives a 2000 Audi S4 6spd, but he's been working on the engine upgrades for over a year now. Let's hope his RS4 conversion will get finished some time this year (hint hint Jeff).

Civil Discourse?
This video of Shelby County Commissioner Henri Brooks making racially charged comments surfaced last night.
In a debate with a Hispanic contractor, she takes exception to his saying that Hispanics are the "minority of the minority in Memphis".
Check out what she has to say:
"Your situation does not compare to mine. What you are experiencing as a minority has probably been blown out of proportion here. It's not about you as a minority. It's about black folk in Shelby County who are trying to get employment in Shelby County … people who pay taxes. Not to say that you don't," she said.
Commissioner Brooks went on to say, "And let me say one last thing. You asked to come here. You asked to come here; we did not. And when we got here our condition was so egregious, so barbaric … don't ever let that come out of your mouth again 'cause you know what? That only hurts your case. Don't compare the two they're not comparable."
It's 2014. This is unreal.
More coming up at 5pm on The Nation of Jake.

The proposed Lieberman-Collins bill S 3480 "Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010" is criticized in the mainstream media. Critics say it's insufficient for securing US infrastructure from cyber attacks. The critics don't seem to realize that the legislation is not intended to be an all-encompassing bill.
Securing cyberspace will require more than a single piece of legislation. This cybersecurity bill represents no small step, and in light of the present threat environment it's a great beginning.
It's time to end Washington's business-as-usual strategy of doing nothing unless everything is perfect (through "big bang legislation"). Lets move forward instead of falling victim to gridlock pushed by the many competing interests – intellectual property rights, personal privacy, and others that have held up even the most basic cyber security safeguards.
I laud Lieberman-Collins Bill S 3480 "Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010" for having the courage to begin the process of securing cyberspace. Over time there will be corrections, clarifications and improvements to this cybersecurity bill, as well as additional bills to provide more safeguards and legal remedies.
CyberSecurity and Public Utilities
Clearly our public utilities are doing a dismal job with IT security and it is in our national interest to motivate them to act responsibly. No doubt congress would also gain political benefit by making the utilities accountable for their lackluster security practices.
I can say from first-hand knowledge just how lax the utilities can be when it comes to IT security. Our privileged identity management software is deployed in some of North America's largest financial institutions, corporations and federal government agencies – yet when we propose these products to utilities we're consistently rejected in favor of cheap, off-shore alternatives that don't necessarily deliver any real security. It seems clear that these utilities are on a suicide mission with respect to internal safeguards, and the public would benefit from the kind of government oversight that would force them to secure the valuable resources that they control.
Rather than solving this problem in Lieberman-Collins, Congress ought to craft targeted legislation to get the utilities acting responsibly – before they send us into semi-permanent darkness. The day will come soon enough when a hostile foreign government or hacker group takes advantage of this enormous vulnerability.
Let's take action through Lieberman-Collins and then continue to push for improvements through the legislative process. Lieberman-Collins bill S 3480 is a great starting point.

Things were a bit disjointed at times when the Tallmadge girls soccer team hosted Woodridge in the season opener for both teams.
However, in soccer, it's all about taking your chances. In that regard, the Lady Blue Devils did a much better job.
Tallmadge scored a 3-0 win over the Lady Bulldogs Aug. 21 at Rossiaky Stadium. The Lady Blue Devils' ability to finish scoring chances proved decisive.
Woodridge saw plenty of ball possession in the game, but the Lady Bulldogs seemed to fizzle every time it approached Tallmadge's penalty box.
Woodridge controlled the opening 10 minutes of the game, possessing the ball deep in the Lady Blue Devils' territory.
However, Tallmadge took the lead on virtually their first sustained attack of the game
After the Lady Bulldogs initially cleared a corner kick, Lady Blue Devils midfielder Eryn Gebacz found forward Sammy Williams at the top of the box in the 16th minute.
Williams turned and lofted a shot over Woodridge goalkeeper Tyme Miller and into the net to make it 1-0.
Miller finished with one save in the first half. The Lady Blue Devils finished with a 12-2 edge in shots on goal, including three shots that hit the post.
Tallmadge doubled its advantage in the 39th minute.
Sammy Williams collected a pass in the box and the ball right into the path of senior Amanda Kilway. Kilway passed a low shot into the net, making it 2-0 at halftime.
The Lady Blue Devils put the game beyond reach in the 57th minute, thanks to a nice sequence of passes.
Sammy Williams found herself some space at the top of the box and fed another nice pass, this time to sophomore Rochelle Haught.
Haught smashed a one-time shot past Bates to make it 3-0.
The Lady Bulldogs kept working, but they could not find a way through.
Tallmadge goalie Lynn Tucci needed only two saves to preserve the shutout.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Eric asked for "advice on how to bridge the gap between clinical medicine, public health, and virology research." I asked Scott Hammer MD for his thoughts on this question. Here is Dr. Hammer's response:
Hi Vincent:
Thanks for forwarding this comment. In response, I'd inform your interested listener that the career opportunities in Infectious Diseases are broad and include – fundamental laboratory research, clinical/translational research, clinician/teacher role at an academic center, epidemiology and public health (both domestic and international), private practice, and industry. A substantial proportion of Infectious Disease Fellows are pursuing Masters degrees in Epidemiology at their colocated Schools of Public Health so that they have formal training in both ID and epi/biostats/study design/global health, etc. For more information, I'd refer him to the following websites: the Infectious Diseases Society of America (www.idsociety.org), the American Society for Microbiology (www.asm.org) and the Association of Schools of Public Health (www.asph.org). In addition, he could surf the websites of some of the individual fellowship programs (Columbia, Partners (MGH and Brigham in Boston), Johns Hopkins, the University of Washington in Seattle, and the University of California San Francisco.
Hope this is helpful.
Best regards,

ha ha ha, I did it, i chased the deer i did i did i did.
I heard Daddy calling me.. Kali, where are you? Kali? Come here Kali, but I could smell them, they seem to be getting closer and its my job to make sure they stay away. ut oh I don't hear Daddy anymore I wonder if I went to far...
Well, since no one is looking for me anymore, I guess I will go home and lay in the yard until they wake up to let me back in the house...
Any of you dogs every wonder why its so easy to get out, over, under, or through the fence when your escaping, but you can never get back in? grrrrrrrrr oooh I think i hear Mommy calling me, its been raining for about 3 hours, so maybe she can dry me...
So I found my masters small basketball, but it is still to big to hold comfortably, after about 15 minutes of running around with it in my mouth i started to get sore and thats when the ball dropped.
Master asked me to bring me the ball I am not supposed to be playing with, but my mouth hurt, so I pushed it with my paw, and he got so excited and called me a good girl, so I did it again, and again he was happy almost like I get when gets home, so i kicked to his foot, and he kicked it down the hall and i ran and ran and caught up with the ball and kicked it back.
For the better part of 20 minutes we played ball, and it was much fun.
After that we played Fetch with my Old Navy Boo Kitty, but thats a story I will leave for my sister to tell.
I woke up, went out, didnt potty.... to damn cold out... went back to sleep... now I am probably napping. Ruff days of a dog.

Moneys in the fund shall be available for appropriation for the purpose of funding projects that create jobs in California improving energy efficiency and expanding clean energy generation, including all of the following:
(a) Schools and public facilities:
(1) Public schools: Energy efficiency retrofits and clean energy installations, along with related improvements and repairs that contribute to
reduced operating costs and improved health and safety conditions, on public schools.
(2) Universities and colleges: Energy efficiency retrofits, clean energy installations, and other energy system improvements to reduce costs and achieve energy and environmental benefits.
(3) Other public buildings and facilities: Financial and technical assistance including revolving loan funds, reduced interest loans, or other financial assistance for cost-effective energy efficiency retrofits and clean energy installations on public facilities.
(b) Job training and workforce development: Funding to the California Conservation Corps, Certified Community Conservation Corps, YouthBuild, and other existing workforce development programs to train and employ disadvantaged youth, veterans, and others on energy efficiency and clean
energy projects.
(c) Public-private partnerships: Assistance to local governments in establishing and implementing Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs or similar financial and technical assistance for cost-effective retrofits that include repayment requirements. Funding shall be prioritized to maximize job creation, energy savings, and geographical and economic equity. Where feasible, repayment revenues shall be used to create revolving loan funds or similar ongoing financial assistance programs to continue job creation benefits.
(Added November 6, 2012, by initiative Proposition 39, Sec. 2.)
The following criteria apply to all expenditures from the Job Creation Fund:
(a) Project selection and oversight shall be managed by existing state and local government agencies with expertise in managing energy projects and programs.
(b) All projects shall be selected based on in-state job creation and energy benefits for each project type.
(c) All projects shall be cost effective: total benefits shall be greater than project costs over time. Project selection may include consideration of non-energy benefits, such as health and safety, in addition to energy benefits.
(d) All projects shall require contracts that identify the project specifications, costs, and projected energy savings.
(e) All projects shall be subject to audit.
(f) Program overhead costs shall not exceed 4 percent of total funding.
(g) Funds shall be appropriated only to agencies with established expertise in managing energy projects and programs.
(h) All programs shall be coordinated with the California Energy Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission to avoid duplication and maximize leverage of existing energy efficiency and clean energy efforts.
(i) Eligible expenditures include costs associated with technical assistance, and with reducing project costs
and delays, such as development and implementation of processes that reduce the costs of design, permitting or financing, or other barriers to project completion and job creation.
If the Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst jointly determine that the estimated annual increase in revenues as a result of the amendment, addition, or repeal of Sections 25128, 25128.5, 25128.7, and 25136 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is less than one billion one hundred million dollars ($1,100,000,000), the amount transferred to the Job Creation Fund shall be decreased to an amount equal to one-half of the estimated annual increase in revenues.

Those of us who are above, lets say, 60 please muster up.
Of course if you are doubled nickeled we won't mind either.
I met my Seven Zero on Boxing day of 2010. Always made my lively hood from the sea. Now semi-retired and spend half a month as a maritime instructor.
I don't want this to be the "Old Fogey's site. Mainly because my mind set is permanently on Adventuresome. Anyway I like to think so. Or is it that I've always lived that way and know no other...
So how many here are graying some what and looking for what is over the horizon?
I just hit the big 60 earlier this year. My knees aren't what they were but otherwise I am not slowing down much. And yes I am definitely graying some but still looking for what is over the horizon (in a good way).
And for what it is worth, I come here to help those with fewer gray hair and wrinkles get into and enjoy this sport which has so enriched my life rather than tell war stories to us old guys.
But I am not aging; I am maturing, like a fine red wine. Lay me down in a cool, dark place, turn me every 3 months and keep my cork wet.

Just shy of the club (although I sensed there might be "junior" membership allowed from Boasun's post). I'm on my 5th last boat on this many decade voyage. Yup, this is the one, I'm done, I swear! We aren't getting older, just smart enough to know we really don't know what we are doing;)
The "sailing while older' thread has sure brought out the senior citizens!
I'm not far off, but not there yet.. I do have to say that hearing of all stories lately I'm inspired to keep plugging away. We do have friends approaching 70, and another into his 80s still sailing, often short/singlehanded.
Unlike not so many years ago, "70" doesn't seem so far away :eek: :eek:
I'll be sixty-five this coming April. Knees are what knees are usually like after playing goal in ice hockey for 40 years, but there are lots of parts that still work pretty well.
Linda and I both love the water, love our sailboat and look forward (God willing) to many more adventures on the water.

Still a short few years shy of 60; but hoping to become one of those weatherbeaten 75 year old sailor guys. Last spring, anchored in a cove in the Spanish Virgins, we met a couple who were on their 13th year of a world cruise; having launched themselves onto the oceans after age 65 retirement. Pretty inspiring for me (if not my spouse!).

Question about vents on roof and roof leak.
5 Attachment(s)
Hi, I had a leak in my roof of my vaulted ceiling that caused a mold spot. I cut a hole in the ceiling and noticed a piping which I was surprised to see this high in the house. I took a pic of the piping as well as the roof of the house in the area of the leak. I presumed the black pipe on the roof and the silver chimney were some sort of attic vents or bathroom fan vents but what is the piping for? The leak appears to be coming from where the chimney vent is on the right. What is that for and why is there a pipe underneath it? Thanks.
The black pipe is most likely your sewer vent and the chimney most like vents your gas water heater and/or furnace.

MARION CENTER: Elementary principal Bruder-Smith retires
MARION CENTER — Donna Bruder-Smith, the Marion Center Area School District's elementary principal for more than 14 years, Monday announced her plans to retire June 29, ending a 36-year career as a teacher and school administrator.
Before she was hired by the Marion Center district in January 2000, Bruder-Smith was the principal of the Punxsutawney Area Middle School and before that was the principal of Punxsutawney's nine elementary schools.
A Harrisburg native, she studied at Bloomsburg, Millersville and Shippensburg universities and began her career teaching special education in three eastern Pennsylvania school districts.
She joined the Marion Center district as the principal of three elementary schools and helped reorganize the district when it was consolidated into fewer buildings and two elementary schools were closed in 2010.
Director Charles LaVan made the motion to accept Bruder-Smith's resignation, "definitely with regret," he said.
District Superintendent Dr. Frank Garritano said Bruder-Smith had been especially helpful to him when he joined the district four years ago, and had always been helpful to the district's administrative team.
Former director Don Magas, speaking from the audience as a member of the community, also thanked Bruder-Smith for her years of service to the school district.
Bruder-Smith's husband is state Rep. Sam Smith, R-Punxsutawney, who announced earlier this spring that he, too, is retiring from the House when his 14th term ends in November.
Immediately after her retirement was accepted, the school directors promoted assistant elementary principal Susan DeVaughn to succeed Bruder-Smith, effective July 1.
DeVaughn had been a middle school counselor in the Punxsutawney Area School District before she joined the Marion Center district in December 2010. She was a kindergarten teacher in the Westmont School District in the late 1990s and later was employed by Indiana University of Pennsylvania as a residence director.
As the Marion Center district's new elementary principal, she'll earn $88,500 annually.
The directors also accepted the retirement of Bonnie Slater, the district's food service supervisor, effective June 30.
In another personnel change, the board combined the positions of athletic trainer and athletic director into the new position of athletic supervisor and then hired Pam Anderson to fill the new post.
The athletic supervisor will manage the district's athletic programs, schedule sports events and oversee the health care of student athletes.
Anderson, who has been the district's athletic trainer for several years, will earn $43,000 annually in her new job.
The directors Monday also authorized Ken Kirkland, maintenance and transportation supervisor, to move forward with several repair and improvement projects. In some cases, moving forward will only involve gathering more information or price quotes.
The maintenance and improvement projects include:
• Moving door buzzers and remote locks from the outside doors to the inside vestibule doors at the McCreery Elementary School and the high school. The change will allow visitors to wait in the vestibules and out of the weather until they are "buzzed" through the locked doors.
• Installing a second card reader and magnets on the second set of doors in the hallway leading to the swimming pool, allowing the outside doors to be unlocked at certain times for pool patrons.
• Installing foul line poles at third base and a fence along the stream at the high school softball field.
• Seeding and planting shade trees at the playground at McCreery Elementary.
• Getting quotes on building tiers on the teachers' sloping parking lots at the high school-McCreery Elementary campus.
• Repairing the top of the retaining wall along the lower side of McCreery Elementary School.
• Residing and installing new doors on the district's maintenance building in Marion Center.
In other action the directors:
• Approved the 2014-15 school calendar. The next school year will start Aug. 27 and the 2014-15 calendar has five emergency weather days.
• Approved the Armstrong-Indiana Intermediate Unit's 2014-15 general operating budget. The Marion Center district's share has not been precisely determined but is expected to be about $47,000, roughly the same as this year, according to district business manager Richard Martini.
• Reappointed director Charles Glasser as the district's representative on the ARIN IU 28 board of directors.
• Hired Christopher Adams, a retired state police trooper, as a school security officer at an hourly rate of $16.
• Added Tara Runk and Joseph Ryer to the elementary volunteer list and approved Nathan Johns as a volunteer baseball coach.

Tuesday July 29th – 21:00 – Valloire Church
This programme offers a selection of works recently restored by Brazilian and Portuguese musicologists.
The first part is dedicated to Portuguese composers of the early 18th century, Marcos Portugal and João Rodrigues Esteves. In his Magnificat, Esteves demonstrates a rare mastery of the Italian style, displaying much resemblance with the works of Roman composer Ottavio Pitoni.
Marcos Portugal is the most important composer both in Portugal and the New World in the 18th and 19th centuries. First composer at the court of Lisbon, he follows D. João VI to Rio de Janeiro. After the return of the royal family in 1821, he becomes the first composer of nascent Brazil with more than 150 sacred works composed for the Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro and no fewer than 40 operas.
The second part is a journey to the heart of the Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro at the end of the 18th century, when José Maurício Nunes Garcia, the most important Brazilian composer of the colonial period, was in charge of the music for the viceroy's entourage.
Throughout the 18th century, the exchanges between Lisbon and Brazil, the most important Portuguese colony, went far beyond the mere importation of precious metals and trade goods, offering striking examples of cultural crossbreeding.
Le Sans Pareil – Les musiciens navigateurs
When one goes back in time, in search of ancestral ties between Europe and the New World, one necessarily meets several figures of note. In 1394, a prince of the royal house of Portugal was born, Infante Dom Henrique, nicknamed Henry the Navigator at the age of 20. His birth marked the beginning of the golden age of the Portuguese colonial empire. Doubling the Cape of Good Hope, Vasco de Gama sailed to India, then, in 1500, Pedro Alvarez Cabral landed on the shore of what was to become Brazil, amazing discoveries which Henry the Navigator did not live to see. Six centuries later, in 1994, Bruno Procopio, the precocious Brazilian harpsichordist, arrived in France to hone his instrumental skills, nurtured throughout his youth on this singular repertoire now called colonial Brazilian music. The term colonial in no way implies that this Brazilian music was nothing but a picturesque replica of Europe's musical canons imposed by Portuguese conquerors. Indeed, once the rush for gold and precious timber had slackened, the time for cultural exchange promptly followed, as shown by the innumerable Portuguese Baroque churches in Minas Gerais and the emergence in the 18th century of a repertoire of sacred music, the distinctive legacy of the masters of Lisbon. To bear witness to this abundance of musical works, Bruno Procopio founded the "Solistes du Palais Royal", supported by a number of Brazilian musicologists. Besides its privileged relationship with the colonial style, the ensemble also navigates European music, with a predilection for the composers who, through exchanges with the new world have contributed to the musical diversity of the Portuguese court. Le Sans-Pareil, the flagship dreamed up by par Louis XV, yet never actually built, is thus now afloat. Casting off its moorings at the Palais Royal in Paris, a musical caravel puts out to sea. Paying a distant homage to Dom Henrique, Les Musiciens Navigateurs, led by Bruno Procopio, are again headed for Brazil, the hold packed with a wealth of musical experience, eager to discover the treasures in store for them, an ocean away.
The July 28th concert is organized in partnership with the Espace Culturel Le Savoie
Le Sans Pareil Website.

The Ady Gil
The Sea Shepherd fleet has been chasing the Japanese whaling fleet in Antarctica for about a month now, continually fighting off attacks from the harpoon vessel the Shonan Maru No. 2. Yesterday revealed quite a bit about the players on both sides of the conflict.
The Japanese harpoon ship Shonan Maru No. 2 rammed the tiny Sea Shepherd vessel Ady Gil. The attack ripped about eight feet of the Ady Gil's bow completely off the ship. The Ady Gil is sinking and will, most likely, be unsalvageable. As the Ady Gil lurched during the ramming and the crew struggled to keep from falling overboard, the Shonan Maru No. 2 fired high-powered water cannons at the teetering Sea Shepherd members while shooting their LRAD at the Ady Gil. View video of the attack here.
At first the Japanese did not acknowledge the Ady Gil's post-attack distress signal. The Nisshin Maru finally acknowledged the signal without offering assistance to the ship sinking in Antarctica.
This behavior is getting a bit lethal for even the Japanese Antarctic crew. Even when they chucked grenades at my friends and I on the Steve Irwin two years ago, they weren't quite so brazen about trying to cause fatalities. New attacks like these suggest they're more malevolent towards humans than even we thought.
Luckily, the Japanese didn't know that Sea Shepherd has secretly acquired a third ship for the fleet this year, which has now caught up with the Japanese fleet and rescued the six crew members of the sinking Ady Gil. I'm personally quite glad my friends are now safe and not sinking alone in Antarctica.
Perhaps understandably, the people of Australia are a tad annoyed that their federal government is letting the Japanese sink a ship full of Australians with impunity.
The Australian people and the Green Party of Australia have been wonderful, level-headed supporters of Sea Shepherd, and we think they have a right to be miffed about the Australian aid given to the Japanese whalers to help them attack Australians.
Update: This post at first stated that the Ady Gil wasn't moving when the Shonan Maru No. 2 rammed and dragged the Ady's bow before ripping it off. I since removed that statement because the debate of "was it moving?" became everyone's sole focus of the attack. I'm keeping that statement off since the rest of the post seems to go unread if that statement is in, even though I stand by Captain Chuck Swift. But in case people are still curious to see if the Shonan Maru No. 2 actually did swerve to hit the Ady, here's video of the ramming from the point of view of the vessel the Bob Barker.

Suggest you get your facts correct THIS is NOT true: "While the Sea Shepherd vessel Ady Gil was sitting dead in the water, the Japanese harpoon ship Shonan Maru No. 2 took the opportunity to ram the tiny Ady Gil" I hate whaling, but by not telling the truth you will lose support. It has been established that the Ady Gill sped up and put herself in front of the Jap ship (look at the increased turbulance from rear of Ady Gill) please keep to truth

if you guys didn't lie about the Ady Gil setting idle maybe you would find some supporters. It is obvious from the Jap vid that the Ady accelerated briskly into the Jap ship and don't try the BS about trying to turn right away from the Jap ship. Check the vid from the Japs at 15 sec in. The hard thrust by the Ady is obvious. When the rudder comes out of the water, it is pointed straight forward. You are acting as pirates and as such, I would suggest the Japs have the right to use lethal force to defend themselves. Not a pro whaler but when you break the law to try to enforce the law, you too become a criminal.

If you watch the Video from Cetacean the you are correct Ady looks like it moves infront of the Shoan..But if you look at th Video from the Bob Barker its clear that the Shoan Turned towards the Ady as both port/starboard sides of the ship are seen

David Bon #
Ref 4, above. So Ady was not sitting dead in the water? this has to be sorted as it's going to get bad press

If it is moving, then I retract the statement it was dead in the water. I don't know if it was moving or not for a fact. A "rudder pointed forward" unfortunately just tells which way the ship will go when propelled, but does not say if the vessel is actually propelled. To avoid controversy I'm removing the line; I made the statement going by eyewitness Captain Chuck Swift on the vessel named the Bob Barker, who stated the attack happened while the vessels were dead in the water. Sea Shepherd has more of the incident filmed I believe, so this can be settled once the footage comes back to shore.

So this man is a liar!:"eyewitness Captain Chuck Swift on the vessel named the Bob Barker, who stated the attack happened while the vessels were dead in the water. Sea Shepherd has more of the incident filmed I believe, so this can be settled once the footage comes back to shore."
Look on the great many web sites – it's all there!

I've been surfing news articles on this incident and it's funny how the same people keep turning up everywhere with the same comments, and they're all pro-whalers suddenly appearing on enviro and vegan sites (the "you bought the ticket, you take the ride" one is making the rounds). It seems like there's a mini-online campaign going on to support the Shonan Maru's action… Hmm. Anyone who genuinely feels on the fence about this needs to wait for the video to be analyzed and to consider the real ethical issues actually at stake here. Personally I don't care what the Ady Gil's position was, the Sea Shepherds are the ones out there defending the whale population against illegal whaling, so yeah, they took the "ride" and millions of us are glad they did. And they're not making huge profits for themselves under the guise of "research." I'm making a special donation to Sea Shepherd and anyone else who is appalled by this incident should do the same.

Who rammed who?
Doesn't matter to me. The Japanese slaughter these huge mammals every year without the moral outrage this practice deserves.
Everytime this happens, I protest to the Japanese Embassy.
If everyone protested this, it would stop, hopefully before the whales become extinct.

While I took off the not-moving part because people kept concentrating on that debate, here's footage from Captain Chuck Swift's POV.
Comment by
Presleyon #
The undying issue of the Ady Gil sea tragedy was all over the news. Though the aims of Sea Shepherd are noble, the ramming of the Ady Gil was predictable. It's doubtful she will sail again. You see, Japanese whaling, though unpopular and wrong, is still an industry, and when you mess with a persons' livelihood they WILL retaliate. I wouldn't be surprised if we find a few Sea Shepherds floating in the Antarctic Ocean with a bullet in the back in the near future.

Dragon Commander - About Motion Capture
Larian Studios shares with us a video on motion capture try-outs for Dragon Commander in which they show how the motion of real person's faces while talking are mapped to in-game characters.
The video is part of an article from Swen Vincke about the process they went through to get where they are now as far as spoken dialogs go.
More information.
I think you should have linked to the full article, which is a lot more interesting than just the video: http://www.lar.net/2012/11/28/dialogs-solved/

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
Hello, I am leasing a single family home in New Hampshire. Several months ago I allowed a guest to stay at my home while looking for a place to stay. Since then we have had nothing but trouble and I would like to know my rights concerning this person staying at my home. I have asked this person to leave only to have the Police show up telling me I can't keep the person out as they deemed the person a resident because the person is receiving mail at my residence. This person does not contribute to the household and is not on the lease. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards
Retired LL's guess:
The police don't make the laws --they may be more interested in keeping the peace.
is a potential problem with the meaning of the word "owner" in NH L-T
laws and I have no clue how it shakes out--I would hope it means a
tenant is the equitable owner of the occupancy rights and has the
appropriate ownership rights....
But anyway , by definition, a person without a lease living in owners home which is owners regular residence is NOT a tenant. See NH--540.1 IX (d)
In short its OK to just boot guests as they are not tenants !
Getting mail there is totally not a relevant point.
But thats not the precise words--ask your attorney first-or boot them and then see it they bother to take it to court and then you defend.
But don't give them any sort of oral or written lease!!!!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If I were you, the next time my "guest" was out for the day, I'd pack his bags and put them outside. If the unwanted guest has a key to the door, have a locksmith change the lock (be sure and give the landlord a copy of the new key.)
Before you do that, check with a local attorney. I believe in some (if not all) states someone who has been there for several months is considered a resident whether he is or is not on the lease, and you have to go through the legal eviction process.
But if an attorney says that's not the case, THEN follow through with Beth's excellent suggestion.
So THAT'S where the saying "fish and houseguests stink after three days" came from. :)
Good advice, cbg. I'd like to think that some slug that came for a few days and refused to leave doesn't automatically turn into a tenant that has to be formally evicted but I agree with you - the OP should speak to a local attorney.
As suggested, I'd check with an attorney:
I'm in CA; I don't do rent/lease -- but I've heard of hassles that lessors had to go through.
Good luck.
Note that NH law is crystal clear that some forms of long term guest situations are NOT tenants and thats straight out of a legal heritage from England
The OP needs to make a risk assessment with counsel of doing a simple lock out !
One risk is that a literal read of NH law only addresses owner with a guest can boot a guest.
And if the penality exposure is 2 lashes with wet noodle--well, discuss with counsel.
So THAT'S where the saying "fish and houseguests stink after three days" came from. :)
"No good deed goes unpunished."
Thank you for your response Drew. I'm finding it very difficult to find anything on NH Law which makes it crystal clear that somoe forms of long term guest situations are NOT tenents. Could you please point me in the right direct as I have spent many hours researching this. Thanks very much for your help.
dkears65: I'm finding it very difficult to find anything on NH Law which makes it crystal clear that somoe forms of long term guest situations are NOT tenents.
Then your best recourse is to abide by LL/Tenant law. In most states once someone stays beyond 72 hours AND is receiving mail at the residence they are considered a tenant even if not paying rent. Since you have not signed a lease with this person that makes them a month to month tenant. Under NH law you can serve notice in writing that the tenant's occupancy is being terminated, you must list the reason(s), and 30 days notice is sufficient.
This is the definition of "tenant" under NH law:
540-A:1 Definitions. - As used in this subdivision: I. "Landlord'' means an owner, lessor or agent thereof who rents or leases residential premises including manufactured housing or space in a manufactured housing park to another person. II. "Tenant'' means a person to whom a landlord rents or leases residential premises, including manufactured housing or a space in a manufactured housing park. III. "Premises'' means the part of the landlord's property to which the tenant is entitled exclusive access for living or storage as a result of the rental or lease agreement.
Make a quick call to a local real estate attorney familiar with LL/T issues. If they tell you this person is an invited guest I would give them three days notice to get out. If tenant: 30 days. The problem comes if they flat out refuse to go. Then you have to go to court and file for eviction. If they still won't leave then you can get the sheriff to remove them. You can sue for the expenses involved in carrying this out.
"That's just my opinion, then again I might be wrong." Dennis Miller
The question may arise under 540.1definitions IV d which clearly exclude an occupant w/o a lease in owners primary residence from the definition of tenant .
My guess is this is a legal hold over from English law and colonial times which very much exclude a person not entitled to exclusive use and possession from tenant/lease status. The wording seems to vary a lot by states but its there in several states!
The problem to sort out with counsel is does your status as being the lessee of the entire home confer upon you equitable ownership or whatever it takes to stand in such shoes--I'm sure the issue as arisen before in NH --and it easy to find for anybody doing L-T litigation in NH.
If you are covered by that part of the law--then you can boot the occupant w/o notice --no sense at all to allow a disgruntled enemy space under your own roof so he has time to do damage or make trouble.
The definition of a rental unit in NH also invites very careful examination
And likewise the coverage of requirements of due process for landlords may not apply to OP as she is not the owner leasing out a rental unit as defined?
What folks don't seem to bother considering is that this person may simply claim to be paying you monthly or weekly rent for subletting a room and needn't have anything but his/her word ... leaving the court no choice but to believe him/her. It doesn't matter whether you are independently leasing the place.You need to follow your state's landlord-tenant laws and give this person proper termination notice, then file an eviction action. I'm not clear why your local police wouldn't have suggested this to you.Seek local counsel if necessary and stop waiting. :)
The safe way is to ask counsel of course.
If the penality is 2 lashes with a wet noodle then decide.
I still fail to follow jumping to legal conclusions that this is a tenant rental situation as defined under NH law (I'm flying blindblind as to case law) but for starters there is no privity of contract with actual owner and not a single statement that any lease exists.
I know I had trouble with higher math --but if the penality for a violation is capped at 3X the reputed tenant's rent and the actual rent that can be demonstrated is zero, what is the result?

The BioWare Veterans Who Dared
View Single Post
December 24th, 2012, 21:31
I'll be perfectly honest here: While Wizards have come up with some brilliant stuff over the years, the company itself seems to shoot itself in the foot quite often, especially regarding computer games. They killed off the Planescape franchise, they keep selling their licenses to publishers/developers who doesn't have a clue what to do with it and they keep making weird adjustments that are supposed to make computer RPGs better, but in reality just water down the rules as a whole.
That being said, they do get it right from time to time. Their cooperation with old Interplay (Black Isle/BioWare) gave us some of the best games ever, and the NWN series was pretty good too. It seems most of their bad calls have been made recently, though I have no idea what is causing it.

Chapel of Luis Lucena or Los Urbina
Cuesta de San Miguel, n. 9
19001 Guadalajara (Castile-La Mancha)
Tfn::+34 949211626
Fax::+34 949211626
- Autonom region: Castile-La Mancha
- Provins/ö: Guadalajara
Luis Lucena, doctor and humanist and a native of Guadalajara, founded and drew up the plans for this unusual chapel, which once adjoined the former Romanesque-Mudéjar church of San Miguel del Monte.
Doctor Lucena planned the chapel to be built entirely out of brick, inspired by the Mudéjar style of the Romanesque church which it served. Singular aspects include its patterned brick decoration and the broad cornice of the wooden stalactite-shaped prisms known as mocárabes which crown the façade. The interior has a rectangular floor plan and is covered by barrel vaults decorated with fresco paintings by Rómulo Cincinato; the iconographic elements in the chapel are in the Mannerist style. The distinctiveness of the building lies in the sturdy cylindrical buttresses at the corners and in the centre of the exterior walls, which are crowned by a cantilevered eave with pointed crenellations. These give the chapel the appearance of a fortress, which is intensified by the absence of any window openings.

Feds go after big oil for 28 bird deaths; ignore 400K deaths from wind turbines
posted at 1:48 pm on October 1, 2011 by Howard Portnoy
A math problem from the federal government: When is 28 greater than 400,000? The answer: When the 28 represents the number of migratory birds killed by the activities of oil companies, and the 400,000 represents the number killed by flying into wind turbines. (h/t The Blaze)
Last month, seven North Dakota oil companies were charged in federal court with the deaths of 28 migratory birds that had landed in oil waste pits in the western part of the state. The pits are a byproduct ofoil and gas drilling operations. The maximum penalty for each charge under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is six months in prison and a $15,000 fine.
But a law's a law, right? Well, sometimes. It appears that a different standard (call it "No harm, no fowl"?) obtains when it comes to "good" forms of energy. Comments George Fenwick, president of the American Bird Conservancy (ABC):
It is perplexing that similar prosecutions have yet to be brought against the operators of wind farms. Every year wind turbines kill hundreds of thousands of birds, including eagles, hawks, and songbirds, but the operators are being allowed to get away with it. It looks like a double standard.
The ABC cites a 2009 estimate by the Fish and Wildlife Service that places the number of bird deaths from wind turbine collisions at 440,000. That number is expected to rise dramatically by 2030, by which point wind energy will be 12 times as prevalent as it is now.
Kevin Cramer, North Dakota's public service commissioner, shares Fenwick's presumption that a double standard is at work. Appearing on a Bismarck, North Dakota, radio show, Cramer called the government action "chilling" in a free society, adding:
[W]hen you selectively prosecute this way, it's the worst injustice and the grossest form of discrimination in a free society that you can ever have.
None of which has deterred U.S. Attorney Timothy Purdon from pressing forward, despite criticism that the case is a targeted effort to advance the Obama administration's war on fossil fuels. Even the presiding judge has observed that violations of the Migratory Bird Act, which dates to 1918, are normally treated as Class B or C misdemeanors.
For their part, the oil companies under indictment have pleaded not guilty, though, as the Wall Street Journal reports:
[T]hey are not unamazed. They say they're not responsible for the bird deaths and that, even if they were, the deaths were 'incidental' to lawful commercial activity in full compliance with all environmental laws.

London (CNSNews.com) - A controversial British cleric drew criticism from moderate U.K. Muslims on Monday for describing the space shuttle Columbia disaster as a "sign from God" and the astronauts aboard as "criminals."
Abu Hamza al-Masri, a firebrand radical wanted in Yemen on terror charges relating to the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000, told reporters that the space shuttle represented "a trinity of evil because it carried Americans, an Israeli and a Hindu."
The cleric was referring specifically to Ilan Ramon, Israel's first astronaut, and Indian-born mission specialist Kalpana Chawla, a Hindu.
"The Muslim people see these pilots as criminals. By going into space they would have sharpened the accuracy of their bombs through satellites," al-Masri said.
"These missions would increase the number of satellites for military purposes," he said. "It would increase the slavery of governance of other countries by America. It is a punishment from God."
The cleric mentioned reports that the break-up of the spacecraft began above Palestine, Texas, which he sees as a "sign from God."
But Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, leader of the mainstream Muslim Parliament of Great Britain, dismissed al-Masri's comments as "lunacy" and said that British Muslims would be feeling sympathy for the dead astronauts and their families.
"These people went to explore space and to learn more about it -- this is how human knowledge progresses," he told CNSNews.com.
"The people who died in this catastrophic accident will do down as great benefactors of humanity," Siddiqui said. "They were courageous and bold."
Cleric in trouble
The Muslim Parliament and the moderate Muslim Council of Britain have long been critical of al-Masri and his followers.
Anti-terror police raided al-Masri's home base, north London's Finsbury Park mosque, last month in connection with the investigation into the discovery of the poison ricin at an apartment in the British capital.
The U.K. Charity Commission has banned the cleric from preaching at the mosque, and mosque trustees have vowed that he will not be allowed back into the house of worship.
One trustee, Abdul Kadir Burkatulla said last week that the mosque will remain closed for at least three months while it is being cleaned of "physical and spiritual filth."
Al-Masri's British citizenship has also been called into question. According to documents published last week in The Times newspaper, al-Masri obtained the right to stay in the U.K. as a result of his marriage to Englishwoman Valerie Traverso in 1980.
However, records indicate that Traverso didn't divorce her previous husband until more than two years later, making her bigamous marriage to al-Masri void under British law.

It's a sorry state of affairs that the average British man's grasp of the Italian language is limited to food and drink – throwing around the words spaghetti, penne or Aperol Spritz hardly makes the most of what is, for some, the language of love.
Fortunately, this summer you can increase the amount of pigeon Italian you know by peppering conversations with the word "spezzato". For the uninitiated, this sartorial turn of phrase, when translated into English, literally means "broken". Apply this visually to what you wear, and it becomes the subtle art of mis-matching your jacket with your trousers. Sounds easy, right? Especially when Italian men seemingly pull this off with such flair.
Well, as with most things, it does take a little forethought, as this isn't just a case of throwing on any old jacket with any old pair of trousers. Instead, you'll need a tailored jacket – preferably unlined which helps to relax the silhouette – the colour and texture of which should dictate how the rest of your ensemble should look. Colour on top means keeping the bottom half neutral, and visa versa. Shirt-wise keep things plain or at the very least keep colours and patterns subtle. The actual trousers don't even have to be that swish; chinos and jeans are perfectly acceptable. Ties are optional.
Home-grown talent like Oliver Spencer and Paul Smith championed this look at their S/S13 collections, proving that if you want to dress to impress, tailoring doesn't have to take the form of a stuffy suit. If anything, spezzato dressing should be seen as a creative way of giving a working wardrobe a whole new lease of life. Be mindful, though, of letting your colours and patterns get out of hand; you may well end up teetering precariously on the precipice of bad taste.

Hamilton, Ohio (The Weekly Vice) - Tiffany Hurd, a 36-year-old southwest Ohio woman was jailed Sunday after she allegedly attempted to sneak into the Butler County Jail because she wanted to be incarcerated.
According to the Butler County Sheriff's Office, Hurd was stopped when a guard found her attempting to climb a barbed-wire fence that surrounds the Butler County Jail. When the guard advised her to leave the premises, she stated that she would rather be arrested.
Investigators say Hurd continued to climb the fence several more times, and was asked to leave each time. She was finally taken into custody after she refused to follow the staff's orders. Deputies stated that she appeared to be intoxicated.
Hurd was booked into the Butler County Jail and charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. Her bond was set at $2,500. She is scheduled to appear in court on August 9th.

Description: These are high quality BJT NPN transistors that work well with audio applications, made by ST Micro.
Datasheet: BC547
You're right! Wow… That's some profit margin!
Is that price some kind of typo or something? I can get these for $.08 from Jameco…
I seriously doubt that SF is making a huge profit on these. I suspect that the price reflects the cost of keeping them in stock for people like me that need 3 of 'em, but are 200 miles from the nearest Radio Shack. Yeah, I could order from Jameco, Mouser, or DigiKey, but it's not like I can send them a quarter and an SASE and get 3 transistors and a penny by return mail.
Question I dont know anything about these. I need them for a project? how DO i know which leg is which?
Look at the datasheet in the description.
Can someone point me towards a tutorial / sample circuit that demonstrates using one of these?
I'm interested in knowing what voltage is required at the "B" leg to enable voltage thru C to E. Can there be different voltages between B and C/E? Meaning - can I use 3v on B to enable 5v thru C to E?

Last week, Capcom gave us the skinny on their new free online service put in place to enhance the Resident Evil 6 experience by offering features including stat tracking, Facebook and Twitter integration, an app for smartphones (Android, iOS, Windows), points that can be redeemed towards in-game items, organized events, and more. Now this service has a launch date…
… And the official date is October 2nd, which happens to be the same day the game comes out. The concept behind RE.Net isn't entirely unique but you have to give Capcom credit for what they're going for. A game like Resident Evil 6 won't draw dedicated multiplayer fans to it outside of people looking for a co-op experience, but it could adds considerable depth to a game that might otherwise fall off the radar after a few runs through the campaign.
