It is now over sixty years since Fidel Castro overthrew a dictator in Cuba and installed his version of dictatorship which he termed. "communist." Fidel promised the people of Latin America that "communism" would rid the continent of hated "Yankees" and herald the arrival of a new democratic way of life in which oligarchs and imperialists would no longer control the nation. He found a fervent admirer in Hugo Chavez, the leader of Venezuela. Chavez is now dead and his disciple, Nicolas Maduro still is trapped in an ideology that long since has meant anything resembling the truth. Venezuela has oil and it has used oil income to support an ineffective economic structure that no longer functions to meet basic needs. Pedro Perez, a 64 year old man, noted, "I spend five or six hours in a queue just to buy two packs of flour or two bottles of cooking oil."
Such is life in Venezuela. Thousands now protest in the streets demanding an economic structure based on sound principles that can restore vitality to their economic lives. Maduro responds with brutal force and sends to prison those opposing his regime. In the last election, Maduro won by less than one percent of the vote, but he insists "Venezuelans" support his policies. Violence is escalating and there will be more dead or in jail. A touch of reality is needed in Venezuela.

We started setting up a set of guidelines to ensure that we did the attempt under conditions that most geocachers hopefully can accept, and that might be followed if anyone attempts to break our record:
1.The cache is logged with our team name for the whole team in the logbook.
2.It is only allowed to search for one cache at a time, that alo means no splitting up to travel to the next location.
3.Not every member of the team needs to be present at the cache (driver and navigator may sty in the car).
4.The planned trip will be tested before the record run to locate parking areas, entrances to parks, places to shop for food and toilets. No caches will be located in advance.
5.It is possible to have a car following to get supplies. They are not allowed to help in the search.
6.Obviously, all traffic laws will be obeyed.
7.The record run is performed in 24 running hours no time-outs!
We have a website coming up powercaching24h.com, where we will post information on our preparation, guidelines, programs used to keep track of the caches and so on. Due to technical problems the site has not been up running before we arrived in the US and we have not been able to do at lot of work on it yet, but that will follow. The web page holds a forum where other geocachers trying to break the record can post information on their attempts.
DK08 consists of following geocachers: Dr. Elmer, Picht, gjensen, tottommy, zooor, Sjanten and Schuleit. We are all looking forward to the GeoWoodstock and meeting other geocachers.

Char Miller, professor of environmental analysis, began studying Gifford Pinchot in graduate school. As he learned more about the founder of the U.S. Forest Service, he became fascinated by the complexities of that agency and the organization created to celebrate and continue Pinchot's work.
Seeking the Greatest Good: The Conservation Legacy of Gifford Pinchot (2013), Miller's 10th book, examines Pinchot's pivotal role in shaping the Forest Service but focuses on the history of the Pinchot Institute for Conservation and the Pinchot family's long connection to the Institute, the Forest Service and Grey Towers National Historic Site.
Pinchot was appointed to head the new service by Pres. Theodore Roosevelt in 1905. During his five-year term, he more than tripled the national forest reserved to 172 million acres and provided its guiding principals – "to provide the greatest good for the greatest amount of people in the long run" – which still guide its operations.
In 1963, Pres. John F. Kennedy officially dedicated the Pinchot Institute for Conservation Studies, a union of the U.S. Forest Service and the Conservation Foundation, a private New York-based think tank. Based at Grey Towers, the former family home, the Institute was to further the legacy and activism of Pinchot by formulating policy and developing conservation programs.
Miller traces the Institute's evolution and three generations of involvement by the Pinchot family, from the initial conception of the Institute by Pinchot's son, Gifford Bryce Pinchot, through decades of rapidly expanding development, changing politics and large-scale change in the environmental movement. An emphasis on resource protection and development and was quickly shifting as "conservationists became increasingly leery of an engineering ethos that led to damming of rivers to provide hydropower and irrigation downstream, but that did not account for the environmental costs associated with these massive reclamation projects." notes Miller.
Over its first 50 years, the Pinchot Institute for Conservation had, at times, a rocky journey. "The Institute suffered many of the difficulties faced by other environmental organizations in those decades," notes Miller, "questions of clear-cutting the national forests, water management issues, how to be practical in an age of intense idealism, and particularly how to be engaged in environmental activism while still securing money for practical programs on the ground – for forest sustainability certification, working with tribal entities to help better manage their forest resources and struggles with mission, leadership and funding."
"What's heartening," Miller adds, "is that beginning in the 1990s, the Institute resolved all of those issues and embarked on some of the most creative and innovative measures to resolve environmental and social issues."
"In our environmental classes, we're really good at depressing our students," says Miller. "I try to remind them that we need to know how to respond to great pressures as well as enormous opportunities."
"This book about the Pinchot Institute is a way to demonstrate that people can act on the environment to make it and human communities more resilient." Among their really innovative projects is their involvement in Common Waters, a 40-member organization, which works to protect the Delaware River Basin, a drinking source for millions. Another is the Forest Health-Human Health Initiative, which offers health-care credits to rural American landowners who maintain their carbon-capturing forest lands.
Miller is the director of the environmental analysis program at Pomona and the author of 10 books, including Gifford Pinchot: The Evolution of an American Conservationist (1993) and the award-winning Gifford Pinchot and the Making of Modern Environmentalism (2001). He was also a consultant on the 2012 documentary "Seeking the Greatest Good: The Conservation Legacy of Gifford Pinchot" by PBS affiliate WIAA. In addition, he is a long-time advisor to the U.S. Forest Service, participating in new employee, mid-level and senior administration training and consulting with its research division.
He is a regular contributor of essays, commentary and reviews to professional journals, newspapers and online media, including his current blog, Golden Green, which explores environmental issues in the West for KCET.org. Miller earned his BA from Pitzer College and his M.A. and Ph.D. at The Johns Hopkins University. He taught at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, before joining Pomona College in 2007.

Sweden In Spring
Spring is finally in full bloom, and fashion blogger Zanita Whittington couldn't be happier about the change in temperature. "This winter has felt so long and I'm so thrilled to finally find a day to wear shorts," she says.
Zanita is celebrating the warmer days by exploring Sweden, meeting up with friends and admiring the country's beautiful landmarks. "First on the agenda is a visit to the picturesque park on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm, then it's lunch in a restaurant on the water," she says. "I don't think anyone appreciates a change in the weather more than the Swedes! Everyone is smiling on the street."
Wherever she goes, Zanita is always conscious of the style statements she's making. "I need to be well researched in my job, so I'm heavily influenced by fashion trends," she says. "I like to wear my own interpretations. Go with classics — and then add something unexpected. A simple tee with a quirky heel or mixed prints and combining textures always pique the interest."US

"Our DJ, Jay, from Elite was everything we could have asked for and more. He even sang a couple of great songs during dinner. As the dance floor emptied out, he knew the right time to play a slow song to get folks out on the floor and his transitions to fast, dance, and slow songs was well-timed. We got a lot of compliments about him from our guests. Great job, Jay!"

Bought one of these from Woot several months ago. He works 5 days a week, does a great job, and no problems.
I first tried Neato on short runs. I wanted to see how he maneuvered and what problems he could get into. We have a long hall that leads to a bathroom and I used the magnetic strips to restrict him to those two areas.
I was working in another room when I realized he was silent. Went into the hall, looked right, no Neato. Looked left toward the bathroom, no Neato. No sound. Looked right again, looked left, no sign of Neato. Did he escape? A fast scan of doorways showed the magnetic strips were in place. He wasn't under the hall cabinet. Finally found him in the bathroom stuck between the toilet and tub. He had shut down but his message window explained that his bumper was caught on something, would I please release him.
I reoriented him, he shot out of the narrow pathway toward the sink, spun around and back he went to clean the area between the tub and toilet. He got to the wall behind the toilet, spun, and headed out again but was at an angle, so he got stuck again. He worked at getting free but couldn't and again shut down. This time the message was to please clear the path. I straightened him, he took off toward the sink, hung a right and zipped back out into the hall and tackled the hall carpet. Fine.
A little while later I saw him return to the bathroom and down that narrow area between the tub and toilet. At the wall, he spun and came straight out to the sink, hung a right out of the bathroom and down the hall to his charger where he docked. Task completed. Talk about obsessive!
(I refer to Neato as a "he" because he reminds me of my husband --doesn't ask for directions, occasionally appears to get lost, but, in the end, gets the task done.)
I'm sold on robotic vacuums.. the Roomba is a better build however both are great task masters.
I hate sweeping and vacuuming under and over things and these lil'l bots are so happy to do it for me...
I will always have one in my tool arsenal against dirt stuffs.
My little buddy came after the most recent woot. Absolutely love it. What a thrill to come home and your house being vacuumed. Climbs a 3/4 inch transition. Gags on the strings of antique prayer rug. Mates obsessively with chrome barstools. Gives you a chance to say without irony, "You have to see my new vacuum cleaner." Speaking of irony, Neato team work on a robot iron.
Unless you enjoy vacuuming buy it.
This NEATO just kills ROOMBA in combat. It certainly is another generation of robotics. Too much is made of all the scheduling ta-doo which I never use. (I'm a control freak and like to feel I'm in charge when the vacuum is doing its thing!)
Two clicks of the button after carrying it to any room I choose and it is quite eager to do its thing!
(I also like the "put me down" that shows up on its screen when you carry it around. It's amazing how it escapes getting itself in trouble and does a great job in cleaning moving effortlessly from area rugs to tile to carpeting.
I bought this last time & love it. I too have mission style furniture & it would get stuck under the couch. I cut 4 little squares of wood that raised the couch about 1/4 inch. Voila!
None of these type of vacs really clean your floors. I mean come on, how can something battery operated that size do anything that a 12 AMP vac can?
Excellent cleaning, ease of maintenance, etc. BUT.....
I have had this robot from its early stages of firmware. Due to navigation issues I returned one that had been updated at the factory, got a new one, and it gets confused. It will back itself into an open corner, free to get out, and go around and around finally shutting down with a message, "unable to navigate, please clear my path". Anyone else have this problem? Neato has been super supportive but there "solution" of doing a "shutdown" and restarting doesn't help.
Any one else having this issue of navigation confusion?

I have a very expensive Miele, and it does as good if not better than the Miele. Just having navigation issues is all.
I got this last month when it was on woot.
I have owned a Roomba for a couple of years and I'm not thrilled with the Roomba's navigation style (bump and run) or it cleaning ability (it is a sweeper, not a vacuum), so I was skeptical of how the Neato would work.
I am thrilled with how well this Neato works. I have it scheduled to run every other night at 2:00am in our downstairs living space (we can not hear it run in this section of the house).
CLEANING: It is a true vacuum. It cleans under our coffee table and end table (it had been years since we vacuumed there). The first 10 or so times it ran, it totally filled the dust bin. On it's current every-other-day schedule, it gets about 1/3 of the bin full. It does an amazing job at finding dirt we didn't know was there.
NAVIGATION: The navigation is great. It covers three odd-shaped rooms, cleaning every inch except for the dining room that I have blocked with the magnet strip. Neato HAS failed to return to the charging base twice. Both times, it was about a foot away...it's like it ran out of juice a little too soon.
Amazing device. Much better than our roomba (which we still use as a mobile, room-at-a-time vacuum).
A side benefit is that it makes us be aware of keeping stuff picked up. He will choke on wires and socks. Now we make sure the floor is clear.
We own a rental property on a lake. Every week we take the Neato, and it cleans all the floors while we do other chores. Even does under the beds! Far superior to its competitors.
I picked one of these up last time it was on here and am really happy with it. I have it set to vacuum Monday and Friday so I come home to a clean house and don't have to worry about it. My house is all hard wood floors and it works great.
Plus it's fun to watch after a few drinks.
In my opinion the Neato Vac has a fatal design flaw. The wheels have a small spring attached to plastic mounts to keep tension and the mounting place is weak and brittle. With just normal use it is not uncommon for the plastic mount to break where the spring attaches. Then you have to spend $50 for a new wheel and mount which is the exact same poor design. In a few months it breaks again -- repeat ad nauseum.
Does it have a problem vacuuming up long hair? Thanks!
Gave a Neato to my daughters for Xmas - they each have pets & work outside the home, so not much time to do housework. To quote them:"It's the best gift ever!" Does a great job and no problems so far.
Mine is running as we speak! It does a fantastic job on all surfaces, the only issue is sweeping out under the kitchen cabinets before it runs, since it doesn't fit under the overhangs. The Woot! deal is a great one because it comes with the optional accessory kit, which would cost about $60 retail (and you will need more filters eventually).
No, it can't climb up what I would consider regular thickness area rugs and definitely not room dividers. We have one and I'm terribly disappointed with it. It doesnt learn very well, it will try to get under things repeatedly (literally bump back and forth a dozen times before it gives up) , the dust bin fils up to quickly, it gets tangled up in lamp cords and gets stuck behind coffee tables and chairs. The ony positive about it is it actually does pick up well where it can get to. Not worth the money.

I do. The thing is terrible. Complete waste of money.
Got one in a prior woot. Love the thing!
There is a software update you can get from their website that helps with navigation and docking. Free and easy to install.
Most importantly, the wife loves it and didn't complain about me spending money once she saw how good it is!
I bought this last time it was available on Woot! My floors have never been so clean. We run "Rosie" all of the time and have had nothing but the best experience. Everyone should have one of these. I LOVE THIS ROBOT!!!
How does it deal with an ABUNDANCE of pet hair? I have a latest roomba, and it chokes a lot. The brushes need to be cleaned 2-3 times during a single cycle. How is Neato with that?
How long before recharge on this.Can it do a whole house?
I got this a few weeks back and I am very impressed! We have two large dogs(one is a St Bernard mix) and I run GLaDOS almost every day. I love her!
We have the XV-11 and love it. We named him "scooter" - best pet we ever had. He cleans up and returns to his base.
We schedule scooter to clean our entire first floor -- 15x30 den with carpet and our kitchen/dining rooms with hardwood floors 3 times a week.
bought this on the last woot and have been pretty pleased with the results. We have two dogs, a cat, and small children and trying to keep the pet dander down in the kid areas has always been an issue. I can definitely tell a difference during the weekend (when we don't let it run because we're home) versus the weekdays when it runs every morning.
We have a mix of tile floor in the dining room/kitchen and short carpet in the rest of the upstairs with significant transitions between the two. The droid usually navigates them fine. You just need to remember a couple of things:
1. pick up the clutter, especially kid shoes and other items that have something that is going to get sucked into beater bar.
2. empty the droid's compartment daily (for us anyway)
3. if you have a wife with long hair, you will occasionally need to take the bar out and remove all of the hair it's picked up.
Overall, I am not displeased with our purchase. Keep in mind that it's got limitations and set your expectations appropriately. Help it do it's job by having it run when the kids aren't home (they will not leave it alone otherwise) and pick up the clutter.
I just bought one off Woot last time and I'm very happy with the purchase. I was dog sitting a golden retriever last week that sheds a lot. I started Neato once a day as we were leaving the house and I would come back to a home with no pet hair. It does a very good job of keeping the home clean between big cleaning (for me every 2 weeks), so I spend much less time vacuuming.
Got one last woot.
Works good and it amazes me that it keeps picking up more dirt every day.
Definitely worth it I think.
bought one last wootaround and LOVE it.
i was very hesitant and skeptical regarding the claims but the first 'outing' amazed.
you will be stunned to see the amount of dust / dirt picked up from what i thought was a clean house !
yes, on occasion it does get stuck under chairs etc. but 96% of the time it performs flawlessly......and after cleaning takes itself home to recharge.
i will never be without one again....awesome.
Engadget gives it a thumbs up
And they fully reviewed the XV-11, which they liked. A lot. More than a Roomba.
As my house is all hardwood, and I don't have pets (no hair to gum the machine up), I've been interested for a while to get one of these automated little buggers. I do have kids, though. Any idea on how this thing handles toddler crumbs? They're generally bigger, chunkier, and oftentimes stickier than your average dirt and dust.
melsmex wrote:Does it have a problem vacuuming up long hair? Thanks!
we have an old english sheepdog......no problem with long hair.
Great review! Love the last part about your husband... how cute!
This is my third XV-12 LOVE it . My wife and i buy them as gifts now. We have a 6 month old boy and its hard to find time to clean plus its entertainment for my sun who chases it around in his walker laughing at it as its running away. lol the neato is his first best friend.
What prevents the Neato from falling down the stairs?
I've only had my Neato for a few months (grabbed it somewhere else for $330) but it's been great! We have an open floor plan that gave it a little trouble the first couple days but a strategically placed magnetic barrier solved that problem. Now I wake up every day to a freshly vacuumed first floor.
Yes I run it everyday. We have 3 dogs and they create enough mess to fill that dirt bin every night.
For $299 this should be a no brainer. Plus it comes with more extras than mine did. Click buy you won't regret it.
jflora1 wrote:What prevents the Neato from falling down the stairs?
Neato has sensors underneath that let it know when it reaches a ledge. The first day I put Neato upstairs I watched it like a hawk. It flirted with the cliff a lot but it didn't ever go to far and fall.
Got one a month ago here at Woot! Love it! Threw my other robotic vacuum away!
TOOOOO funny . I loved it lol. Goes to show you that a rooba CANT clean everything lol.
I bought one the last time it was on Woot - about a couple of months ago. LOVE IT!!! You can't go wrong with this.
Ah, every Mother's dream gift for Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful mothers out there and to those who have/had a mother!
Oh my-oh my !!!! I love this machine almost as much as I love chocolate.
To emulate the other woot site write-up:
Buy this product: To show your love for mom.
Don't buy this product: If you're just trying to suck up to her (pun intentional). She'll know right away. Now go clean your room.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
These vac are crap!! I gave mine to the Salvation Army..

In the mid-1920s the prominent German photographer Kurt Hielscher was invited by the government in Belgrade to travel to Yugoslavia and create a book with images of the state, founded only a few years earlier. Kurt Hielscher had already published similar and very successful books about Italy, Spain and Germany, so he took up the invitation with enthusiasm.
In Belgrade he got an interpreter, letters of introduction to all local authorities and cars were at his disposal. Hielscher gratefully acknowledges all help in this endeavour. He also thanks the Zeiss-Ikon and Agfa factories for their outstanding cameras, lenses and photo plates.
The journey - from the Alps to Novo Mesto towards Bulgaria - produced 1200 photographs, from which he chose 191. In Hielscher's words, those were the few "which would try to show the attractive, diverse character of the landscape, the architecture, and way of life of the Yugoslavs... I didn't want to create a collection of postcards".
The result is a stunning and often moving collection, published in a book in 1926 in Berlin by Ernst Wassmuth AG.
On Agfa Chromo Isorapid plates.
An unusual document of its time. British independent film maker John Dooley travelled to Yugoslavia in 1959.
This educational film focuses on the Adriatic coast, the river Neretva, Mostar, Sarajevo, finishing in the federal capital Belgrade. It presents the opportunities and challenges for the country's economy, agriculture and political development given its unique position at the height of the Cold War.

These pictures were taken right at the end of the Bosnian War. The UN peacekeepers from Ukraine were preparing to return home to their newly independent country. During the war they provided vital services to keep Sarajevo going - here we see the damage to the city through their eyes. A flying visit also to Vukovar on the Danube, where the war for Yugoslavia's succession started in 1991.

When the Bosnian War started in 1992 among the first international troops to arrive were the blue helmets from Ukraine. The soldiers provided vital help in and around Sarajevo - from bread and water to fuel. They brought with them their own worries from a newly independent country, perhaps they had an insight into this conflict like nobody else? The Ukrainian photographer Oleksandr Klymenko documented their mission.
Do you remember the Ukrainian soldiers in Bosnia?

The stunning town of Mostar on the river Neretva was ravaged by the Bosnian war in successive campaigns. First a siege by the Yugoslav army left it badly damaged. Then came the bitter conflict between Croat forces and local defenders, loyal to the government in Sarajevo, on the eastern bank of the river.
When the war finished across Bosnia in 1996 the scars were visible everywhere in Mostar, and little was known about the fate of Serb civilians in the area. In these pictures you see UN peacekeepers visiting the Serb village of Lakat, before they return home themselves to face an unknown future in their native Ukraine. Oleksandr Klymenko was there with his camera.

The Republic of Serb Krajina (Република Српска Крајина) was a self-proclaimed Serb entity within Croatia. Established in 1991, its separatist government engaged in a war for independence from the Republic of Croatia. The main part of the RSK was overrun by Croatian forces in 1995.
Some of the photos here also offer a rare glimpse into the refugee camp Batnoga. This chunk of Serb-held territory offered sanctuary to thousands of Bosnian Muslims from another enclave, just across the border. Their leader Fikret Abdic, once a wealthy businessman and politician in Sarajevo, was now fighting his own war of territory in neigbouring Velika Kladuša. Batnoga had been the chicken farm of his pre-war company with operations across Yugoslavia. Some of the refugees here lived in disused chicken coops before the UN provided tents and other shelter.
Do you remember Batnoga or the involvement of the Ukrainian UN soldiers in the area?

It's been a while since i've uploaded a drawing, but i've made some and this is one of them.
When i look at this drawing, i always think about a tree fairy. These fairies have a tree as part of their souls. This one went away for a while and when she came back she found it cut.
This drawing captures the moment in which she cries for her tree.
Note from Kerry:
Hello Kitty!
I love your tree fairy drawing! It's really pulling at my heartstrings as I cry with her, I can't stand watching someone else's grief regardless of whether they are real or not.
Is this done with a brown color pencil? And may I ask what type of paper do you use, Kitty?
You have done a really good job, I love all of your drawings but this one ranks up high as a favorite.

Instead of making the regular size donuts, I used small/baby donut size pan. I overfilled the molds little too much, and had about 21 of the baby size donuts. I am quite sure if I had filled the molds properly, I would be able to get two dozen of those babies. I know what books I'm getting for Christmas - BabyCakes Cupcakes and Donuts will definitely have a spot on my bookshelf. Can't wait to experiment more with vegan gluten-free baking! It's just so much more fun!

So anyway, the second mistake I made was not developing a Plan B and a Plan C. I look back on it now, and can't believe I dropped the ball, but I did.
I spent all day Tuesday and Wednesday marking bed fish. They were everywhere. I was having a ball. I didn't even think about trying to develop something else. I thought I had the answer.
That might be the most dangerous thing in all of bass fishing — thinking you have the answer. That'll jump up and bite you every time. No one has the answer for more than a little while. Things change constantly on the water. You've heard me say it a thousand times — fish the moment.
What makes my screw up so frustrating is that it's something I've talked about for years in my seminars, my interviews, my articles, my books and my blogs. You always have to have something to fall back on. Things change. You have to be ready. Change is the only constant in bass fishing. If you don't prepare for change, you gamble everything on your primary plan, and that can go bad fast.
Of course, that's exactly what happened to me on the St. Johns.
Think about this: Just before the Classic, I spent countless hours working out alternatives to my primary pattern and plan. If you go back and read my blogs, you'll see that I mapped out every detail of where to go and what to do if things changed. I had alternative places to fish marked, alternative baits organized in my boat and alternative routes to travel in case I couldn't use my first choice for some reason.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm upset with myself — maybe disappointed is a better word. It'd be one thing if I didn't know any better, but I do. It isn't so much that I had a bad event. That happens to every angler. It's why I had a bad event that bothers me.
Anyway, all is not lost. My goal was to get out of Florida with my head attached. I did that. I'm in 33rd place in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings, 177 points behind Alton Jones. That's not great, but it's OK. The season is just starting. We have a lot of fishing left. I still have a chance to catch him.
Let me close this thing by being brutally honest with you. Do not ignore the basic principles of tournament fishing. Fish to your strengths and develop at least one or two backup plans before the tournament starts.
If you don't, you'll pay a price, and I don't care who you are, how well you know the water, or how good you think you are. In other words, don't do what I did or you'll end up like I did on the St. Johns — in 58th place.

Digital instrument panel troubles
I have a '91 El Dorado. on a recent trip my digital speedometer panel went out, now I have no speed, gas gauge or mileage. At dark with the headlights on the speedo comes on very, very dim. I've checked the fuse panel, all are good. The manual says there is another next to the instrument panel but shows no further location or picture. Any Idea how to get it lit back up of how to find the other fuses?
Re: Digital instrument panel troubles
This car used a module about the size of a pack of cigarettes mounted vertically above the gas pedal on a bracket retained by 2 10mm nuts. Called a central power supply. That module provided the dash illumination. There were at least 2 updates to these because the solder connections would crack over the years. Remove it and let it dangle by the harness plugged into it. Start the car and slap the module with your hand. If the cluster lights up at all, replace it. If I recall the decal on it says CENTRAL POWER SUPPLY. I think it was used from 86 thru about 91. The only other item could be the BCM ( body control module) usually shorted by improper aftermarket stereo installation!

Johnson named SAL Annual All-Star
All-Star Game MVP named league's top second baseman
By Josh Feldman / Kannapolis Intimidators | August 29, 2013 7:17 AM ET
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (August 29, 2013) - The South Atlantic League has named Kannapolis Intimidators second baseman Micah Johnson to the league's Annual All-Star Team in 2013, announced today by SAL President Eric Krupa. Johnson, the Minor League leader in stolen bases, appeared in 77 games with the Intimidators, Class A Affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, before earning a promotion to Class A-Advanced Winston-Salem on July 3.
Johnson, 22, hit .342 (104-304) with Kannapolis, the second-highest average in the SAL behind Asheville shortstop Rosell Herrera, who was named Most Outstanding Major League Prospect and league MVP. The South Atlantic League recognized Johnson as its All-Star Game MVP after he helped lead the Northern Division to a 2-1 win over the Southern Division in the June 18 exhibition in Lakewood, N.J. At the time of his promotion to Winston-Salem, Johnson ranked Top 10 in the SAL in a dozen offensive categories.
The White Sox selected Johnson in the ninth round of the June 2012 First-Year Player Draft, and he made his professional debut that year with Advanced Rookie Great Falls. He built his Minor League lead in stolen bases by setting a new franchise single-season record with 61 stolen bases with Kannapolis, which still ranks second on the circuit, as do his 11 triples.
Johnson is the first Kannapolis player to be named to the SAL Annual All-Star Team since the Intimidators placed first baseman Dan Black and outfielder Brady Shoemaker on the 2011 SAL Annual All-Star Team. Overall this season, he is batting .315/.378/.460 in 126 games between Kannapolis and Winston-Salem while running his stolen bases total to 83. His 104 runs scored rank fourth in the Minors.
The South Atlantic League 2013 Annual All-Star Team was voted on by the 14 SAL teams' field managers, general managers, sports writers and broadcasters for a total of 56 votes.

Alan Pardew has said that Jonas Gutierrez and Papiss Cisse will be in the squad for the game against Maritimo on Thursday night, but Gabby Obertan, who was missing from the squad yesterday, has another toe injury, and he will miss the Maritimo game.
Papiss Cisse – in the squad for Maritimo game
And Alan Pardew has again talked about the baffling decision by the Senegal Football Federation to stop Papiss Cisse playing yesterday, and we hope Newcastle take whatever legal action they can on this rather stupid and uncalled for decision.
This is what Alan said about it after the game:
"The decision over Papiss was baffling, and that's been a blow to us," said Pardew after the final whistle." "We kept getting promised that the decision was going to be overturned and that Senegal were going to let Papiss play, but we kept waiting and waiting and it was at about 1.40pm that we finally found out that wasn't going to happen."
"It did affect our preparation. Him missing was a blow to us. We didn't feel we did anything wrong and he should have played." "In the first 60 minutes (against Swansea) you would have expected Papiss to come up with a goal."
It's a good job we have a game at home against Maritimo in the Europa league on Thursday night, and then Southampton away in the Premier League, and it's an opportunity for Newcastle to try to put things right quickly, after suffering two home defeats in a row in just seven days.
Jonas Gutierrez was all but ready to play in yesterday's game, but Newcastle decided against taking the risk, which was probably the right decision, and he'll be ready for Thursday night, but Gabby Obertan needs a minor toe operation, and he will miss the Maritimo game.
This is what the Newcastle manager said about Gabby, Jonas and Papiss:
"Obertan has got a toe that we needed to sort out, so there has been a man oeuvre on that which put him out today and probably for Maritimo as well. He might be back for Southampton." "Jonas, we think will be back on Thursday, Papiss will be available and that will help."
A win will see Newcastle qualify for the knockout rounds of the Europa League, but whether that's good or not – it's now hard to say – because these European games are decimating our season in the Premier League, which is still the number one priority.
But we need to get some wins under our belt to restore some confidence in the side.

Bill Coleman and Laurence Lemieux are committed urban activists. That wasn't the plan when the dancers relocated back to Toronto from Montreal a few years ago.
That activism took concrete form this week, when the Citadel, a contemporary dance centre created out of a historic Salvation Army building, opened its doors. On Wednesday, Lemieux unveils her new solo, Les cheminements de l'influence, which will christen the Citadel's studio theatre.
When the couple bought the 1912 building, a former soup kitchen and worship hall at Parliament and Dundas Streets in Toronto, they had no idea that right across the road, Toronto's Regent Park Revitalization Project was rising – a massive reimagining of the public housing development.
And it was Regent Park that became the key to Coleman and Lemieux's vision for integrating the arts into urban planning. "We are a point of synergy with the whole Regent Park community," Coleman says. "The character of the Citadel will grow with the neighbourhood."
The housing project is being developed by Toronto Community Housing Corporation and its private- sector partner, the Daniels Corporation. "Mitchell Cohen, president of Daniels, came to talk to us as a sort of welcome to the neighbourhood," Coleman says. "He thought it important that artists be involved in Regent Park."
And the couple jumped right in. In 2009, they presented On Broken Ground, which included choreography amid the mud of the construction site and a ballet for backhoes. In a show called The New World for the 2010 Luminato Festival, they choreographed the student/teacher ceremony for the closing of Nelson Mandela Public School for renovations, and the opening of Cole Street, the first new road in Regent Park. Ongoing plans include pay-what-you-can yoga classes and free youth dance classes.
Two of Canada's most distinguished dancer/choreographers, the couple met and married when they were both members of Toronto Dance Theatre. Lemieux, 47, was born in Quebec City, and Coleman, 50, in Berwick, N.S. They founded their company, Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie, in 2000, after a move to Montreal in 1999.
In part, the lure of Montreal was Quebec's excellent daycare system; Lemieux was pregnant with their second child. She also wanted her children to be raised in the francophone culture that was her heritage. For Coleman, it was the stimulation of fresh pastures and working with new people.
Artistically, Montreal was a success. The couple performed with iconic choreographer Jean-Pierre Perreault, among others, while also creating their own repertoire. But there was a problem. "Although I was born in Quebec," says Lemieux, "I was regarded as an outsider, maybe because I had established my professional career in Toronto."
As Coleman points out, being outsiders made them want to reconnect with the vibrant Toronto dance community, particularly choreographer James Kudelka. On a personal note, a move back to Toronto meant that their children, Jimmy, now 15, and Juliette, now 12, could be day students at Canada's National Ballet School, where they were both successful auditionees.
What makes the Citadel ideal is its width. Older buildings in the downtown core tend to be narrow, but the Citadel's 25-foot frontage has allowed for the second-floor 1,800-square-foot studio/ theatre, and the small 900-sq.-ft. yoga/rehearsal studio downstairs. The Coleman/Lemieux family live on the third floor, which also contains a guest suite for visiting artists.
The couple had help with their project: After learning that architectural firm Diamond + Schmitt did pro bono work for a non-profit organization every year, they applied with their project. The result was a design by Robert Boyd, and a renovation that was two and a half years in the making. The couple has also done much fundraising on their own, both from governments and the private sector, to cover the $2-million tab.
"In the dance world, we're known as risk takers, and buying and renovating the Citadel has been a huge risk," Lemieux says. "We hope we've created a safe place for the arts that is affordable, accessible and welcoming."
A personal tribute
To inaugurate the Citadel as a performance space for contemporary dance, Laurence Lemieux has created a very personal solo in honour of her father, Vincent.
She took the title of her piece, Les cheminements de l'influence (Pathways of Influence), from a book written by Vincent Lemieux in 1979. He is considered one of the most eminent political scientists in Quebec.
"Of course I can't dance political science, per se," says Lemieux, "but I can pay tribute to my father's life-long research into the Quebec people. There are also similarities between his approach to pure science, and my approach to choreography – his scientific path, and my artistic path, and the way they converge, his visionary fusion of the practical and the theoretical, and my vision to create movement with meaning. In digging into his story, I can begin to understand where I'm from, where I fit into that story."
The sound score, by Gordon Monahan, contains piano passages merged with a soundscape of political speeches and interviews from Quebec politics.
Les cheminements de l'influence runs at Toronto's Citadel from Feb. 15 to 25.Report Typo/Error

Thanks for the report! I'm getting some from Scott hopefully this week.
Tested out the AGP 10 round mag I bought from DPH yesterday.
According to this thread on the Saiga forum AGP Mags - forum.Saiga-12.com
They some times require a break in period or a slight adjustment to run 100%
I loaded it up and on the second round I got a jam, resulting in the photo below. I cleared the jam and finished off the mag with no further problems. I then filled it up again and dumped it as fast as I could, again it fed flawlessly.
I only brought one box of shells (25) and had run the first 5 out of the stock mag first. So my testing period ended there. (thankfully for my shoulder)
A nice feature is that they are screwed together, so they can be opened up for cleaning etc.
Bottom line, after the one hiccup on the second round, it ran great the rest of the way.
I'm sold on these mags even though I'm not a fan of US made AK mags. Plus they count as 3 parts for 922r. I will be getting some more.
Thanks for the report! I'm getting some from Scott hopefully this week.

Drawing a Washer, Polar Plot Question
I have a polar plot of my data that lookes the way I want. Now
I want to add a grey "washer" shaped exclusion zone on top of
the plot. I see there is a nice Disk two dimensional graphics
object that is almost what I want. It draws a filled in circle
centered on {x,y} of radius r. What I want is some thing that
draws a filled in circle between r1 and r2, centered on {x,y}.
Is there some way I can do this easily? I've tried combining two
Disks of different colors and sizes but no luck.
All advice is appreciated.

Since the end of September, Canandaigua's Centennial Committee has been asking for items to place in a time capsule that will be sealed for 50 years.
Committee Chair Nicole Mahoney says they are giving folks just a little more time to donate.
The capsule will be sealed at a City Council meeting in February and then stored away at the Ontario County Historical Society for at least 50 years, with instructions not to be opened before April, 2063.

Theres nothing like a CORPSMAN or 18 delta!!!
This is a discussion on Why Doctors Should Be Banned within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Doctors: (A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. (B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year: 120,000. (C) Accidental deaths per physician ...
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year: 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000 (Yes, thats 80 million).
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, Is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI
So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, Guns dont kill people, doctors do.
Theres nothing like a CORPSMAN or 18 delta!!!
The "Grey" area is where the gun grabbers will say
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, Is 1,500.
is much lower because what we refer to as accidental, they will refer to as Everyone killed/murdered/shot/suicide collectively as a whole, thereby raising the # and additionally, the "RED"FLAG" alarm on how guns are the devils work.
For the defense of the physician, they will say,
(B) "Accidental deaths" caused by Physicians per year: 120,000
is much higher because they will cite that how many of those people that died allegedly at the hands of a physician were in poor health to begin with, or waited too long to see the doctor for treatment, and that when it comes to medicine, it is called a "practice" for a reason.
That is the part that should alarm anyone seeking medical attention for anything outside of broken bones, or something that is very apparent, and forseeable, that a doctor can successfully treat.

"Accidental" physician deaths are categorized by the CDC as "medical misadventure."
A few years back I was in my Congresscritter's office in CT having a discussion about 2nd Amendment issues, she raised the subject of injury/mortaility statistics. I was well prepared and showed her the CDC numbers that bore out how physicians were more likely to cause death than gun accidents. Her husband was a doctor and the conversation went quickly downhill after that.

Good one Gene!
My Dad and I had a good chuckle over morning coffee.
I usually present the 2010 firearm murder (<9400) vs vehicular deaths (<34,000) official stats and that will almost alway shut the antis down. If that doesn't work I finish them off with the 11% LEO vs 2% ALAC wrong guy shot thing at em and ask who they would rather be near in a shoot out. Its crickets after that.
I need a little help with my English. What is an "ALAC wrong guy shot thing?" What is an ALAC?...I finish them off with the 11% LEO vs 2% ALAC wrong guy shot thing at em...

inline pipe noise end of flush
This legnth of pipes carries water to the kitchen sink and a small bathrron with sink and toilet. When the toilet is flushed and at the point that the water is at it's end of filling the tank there is a sharp noise in the ppes somewhere and a loud viabration is the system of ppes I guess. It's hard to describe but almost like when the water is finished filling the noise is like the pipe is hitting against the wood that it is supposed to be tied down to. It's hard to look at what is going on as all of these pipes are in the crawlspace foundation area of the house and very difficult to get to. I am wondering if I should be worried about something leaking or is this common with houses in thier 50+ year old range.
Thanks, Jim
Could be a loose pipe, but could also be caused by the fill-valve in the toilet. This happens frequently with the ball and arm type valves. Try flushing the toilet and then raise the ball and arm by hand. Sometimes, the ball gets to moving with the water refilling and it bounces instead of just shutting off the valve.

Texas District Awarded for Video on School Bus Rules
The San Antonio ISD wins a Bronze Telly for the spot, in which an animated trainer teaches students how to safely ride the bus.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — An 18-year-old student was recently arrested after she boarded a school bus with a box cutter. She has been charged with possession of a weapon in a school zone and making terroristic threats.
Kourtney Lashea Joe told authorities that she was planning to confront a 12-year-old girl with the box cutter, The Augusta Chronicle reports. Joe was unable to do so before the bus driver contacted the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
No one was injured in the incident and it is unclear whether Joe brandished the box cutter while on the bus.

Mountain Island Lake
Over half a million people obtain their drinking water from Mountain Island Lake, near Charlotte. In 1998, TPL helped Gaston and Lincoln counties in acquiring 1,200 lakeshore acres with a $1.6 million grant from the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund. This marked the starting point for the Initiative for Mountain Island Lake, a regional effort to ensure water quality by protecting 80% of the lake's undeveloped shoreline and critical tributaries. Over 2,500 acres have been protected as of December, 2003, bringing the project close to its initial goal of protecting 80 percent of the lake's remaining undeveloped shoreline and creek banks. Partners in the project include the Catawaba Lands Conservancy, the Carolinas Conservation Network, the Foundation for the Carolinas, the Gaston County Community Foundation, and the Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation Department.

excuse me, can you all look away please?
Your eyes are deceiving you, that's a dog not a goat.
IF this remote is using NEC protocol, the remote will continue transmitting the repeat code (FFFFFFFF) when a button is hold down. Have a look at the reciDump. example in the IRremote library to observe the behavior of the remote.
Tip: You can buy a cheap MP3 FM transmitter with IR remote. Then you will have 21 buttons IR Remote + IR Receiver Diode + lots of other components you may able to use ( like the small LCD display, SD & USB slots, FM transmitter) for less then 6$. Quality of the remote is poor but it still works great.

6 Speed Automatic
How difficult is it to replace a 4l60e with a 6 speed automatic transmission?
After driving a new Silverado with the 6 speed automatic I was impressed with the smooth shift and power delivered.
Which 6 speed tranny would be best for use in a pickup?
what are you comparing? I have a 4l60e in my 93 k1500 with a350 tbi injected, I know installing a brand new 6 speed transmission in it won't make it perform like a 2013 Silverado.
I am compairing the shift and power curve with the 6 speed with a stock 1500 By the way I have a4x4 1500 with zz383 with 425hp. I expect better performance than the stock 2013 1500. I really liked the smooth power curve and very quick response of the 6 speed. I will not be towing with the pickup like I do with my Suburban so the 6 speed will be for street and long trip driving. My 95 Suburban has a ht383 and it performs much better than stock 350. Just changing to vortec heads makes a huge difference from the pre '96 engines.
this should help
6 Speed Automatic Transmission Now Marked Down for GM and Ford Vehicle Owners at Got Transmissions Online
Thanks for the information and web site. I took a quick look and it is interesting and might be what I am looking for.
Thanks, Jeramiah
TCI has a 6 speed based on the 4L80E. Not sure if they are available for 4x4 swaps though.
6x Six-Speed GM 4L80E Automatic Transmission (850hp) - TCI® Auto
|The Following User Says Thank You to 64SS327 For This Useful Post:
satdiver1 (11-20-2013)
It says that it is rated for 850hp, but I wonder. The price is way up there $6000. I know allisson 6 speeds are used on diesels and 4x4's with great results. I will keep searching and hope to find the right combo.
Thanks for the info,
Sat diver, HT383 ehh? Thats great so here is what you need to do i you wish to run a newer 6 speed 6l80e or 6l90e GM auto transmissions
You need a 58x reluctor ring installed onto the front of your crank underneath the front timing cover.
Then you need to run a 4x reluctor wheel either on the camshaft timing sprocket or in the distributer.
This will allow you to use the newer GEN 4 ECM that the newer GMT800(2007-2013) trucks use.
This will allow you to run any of the newer 6l80e/6l90e 6 speed autos.
Since you have a 1995 Burb, are you still running the TBI, or did yous wap to a Multi Port Fuel Injection(MPFI) injection setup?
If you are running the TBI, I'm betting that you will have to switch over to an intake manifold that uses 8 injectors and fits your Vortec 350 L31 cylinder heads. There are the Edelbrock Vortec MPFI intakes, some Holley Vortec MPFI intakes. For GM you can run the Ramjet 350 intake or even the Marine intake. So long as it holds 8 injectors and fits the specific 8 intake bolt/raised intake runner Vortec cylinder head.
I dont think you can use the newer ECM to control the 2 injectors of the TBI setup.
Here is the key to using a newer ECM which in turn will allow you to run the TCM and 6 speed GM auto trans. It makes 58 pulses58x) for each 360° rotation.
This is the 4x reluctor which replaces the 1x reluctor that the 1996-2002 Vortec 305/350 engines use for a cmshaft position sensor signal. Instead of 1 pulse per rev that the Vortec 305/2350 uses, this will supply 4 pulses per rev which the newer GEN 4 engine ECM requires.
Here is a 1996-2002 Vortec 305/350/454 distributer. Into this, you would install the above 4x camshaft position reluctor wheel, Take the stock 1x reluctor out, and install the new 4x wheel. Instead of the typical crab style distributer cap with 1 coil in and 8 plug wires out, EFIConnection uses this plain cap that they desogned for a cleaner look. This will allow you to run CNP(Coil Near Plug) like the LS1/6/2/7/3/9 L99 and LSA engines all use that run the very short spark plug wires. Or you can run a COP(Coil On Plug) setup that doesnt use high voltage plug wires at all. The coil connects directly to the spark plug. Some of the ETEC 2.0 turbo and Cadillac Northstar engines use thin. But for simplicity I'd use the CNP setup with any 1997-2013 CNP coils.
Here is a stock Vortec 305/350 distributer cap.
Here is the actual distributer cover that I bough a couple months ago from EFIConnection.
Here is the 24x reluctor that I also bought. It goes under the front timing cover just like the stock 4x reluctor Vortec 305/350 reluctor. High quality, but you do need the 58x unit.
Here3 is a 58x system, setup for a fly by wire or ETC(Electronic Throttle Control) using a TPI(Tuned Port Injection) as that throttlebody. Notice
the coils mounted for CNP on the EFIConnection design coil mount that attaches over the valvecovers, the ETC t-body, the ECM, wiring harness, billet from timing cover to hold the crankshaft position sensor, it also houses the obvious timing chain and sprockets.
More info on the EFIConnection kit.
EFI Connection, LLC - EFI Connection 58x System
If you wish to run the 58x reluctor wheel in order to use the newer ECM forces you to run the CNP ignition because there was never a newer GEN 4 engine ECM that used the 58x reluctor along with the conventional cap and rotor ignition.
Here are the 4 different camshaft sprockets which 3 of them use for teh camshaft position sensor, instead of using the distributer for the camshaft position signal.
Here are the 2 crank mounted crank reluctor wheel 24x and 58x. GM used the same 24x pattern on a smaller wheel which originally was under the front timing cover. The 1998-2001 BBC Vortec 454(7.4L) that used RPO L21. This was in essence a BBC Chev 454 rpo L29 that has ETC and CNP. This was prior to the L18 496/8.1L GEN 7 BBC in the 2500hd/3500hd which only comes with CNP and ETC.
You should get the book pictured in this picture. It has all teh info about 24x and 58x and stock ignition system, talks about all relevant ECM/PCM/TCM's and all GM MAP/MAF/IAT/knock sensors info from the mid 80's til now.
So as you can see, there is a lot of things that would eed to be changed in order to use a GM 6l80e/6l90e rwd auto 6 speed trans behind a GEN 1 engine.
A lot of factors depend on how your a fueling you HT383 in the 1995 Burb and what intake manifold and ECM/PCM you are using.
Do you like your ZZ383? You could do all of the above on it as well.
I can't thank you enough for the massive amount of information and pictures that you provided. It answered all my questions, even the ones I didn't know enough to ask yet. I will order the book you recommended right away and go from there. I am using the stock computer with the ht383 with a modified chip. I installed a TBI manifold designed for vortec heads along with a modified tbi designed for a 454 to allow more fuel flow. I also went with a fuel pump made for the 454 engine.
I appreciate the time and effort it took to provide the information and pictures
Thanks, Jeramiah
You are very welcome.
