According to the official NFL transaction wire, the Chicago Bears have been awarded wide receiver Josh Bellamy off waivers.
Bellamy (6-0, 206) is a former 2012 undrafted free agent originally signed by the Kansas City Chiefs. He appeared in three games his rookie season, accumulating two special teams tackles and returning five kickoffs for 101 yards.
The Redskins signed Bellamy to their practice squad last year before elevating him to the active roster in late November. He played five games for Washington, recording two special teams tackles.
The addition of Bellamy now gives the Bears eight wide receivers on the current roster. He'll likely compete for a spot on special teams, both as a gunner and a returner.

Fear and Flying
This image was commissioned for the November issue of Hemispheres, the in-flight magazine for United. You can see it (and read the accompanying story) here.
Here's the version that I preferred. However, the one published required a bright background to fit into the magazine's layout.
6 Responses to "Fear and Flying"
[…] Thomas Allen shows that even vintage copies of Pride and Prejudice included zombies with a book-cut illustrationhe created for this article in United's inflight magazine. […]
Thomas, I love this piece–a perfect complement to an article about the book we published. I'm the publisher of Quirk Books, and I'd love to ask if you could do something with our edition of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES…..
If you're interested in a commission, please get in touch!
I read your wife's blog and have been exposed to some of your work there. I was traveling over Thanksgiving and paged through Hemispheres when I was stopped by your image above. It looked like your work, so I thought I'd check here to see. How cool to come across it like that. Plus, it was fun to feel like I "know" the artist!
I really love your creativity and hope to see your work in person one day.
I flew to Australia on United in November, and it was like seeing an old friend to flip through the magazine and see your work. I promptly nudged the lady next to me and said, "See? This is my friend Tom's work!!"

Zoning question
I have a ranch style house (built in 1996) that is roughly 1,500SF. I also have a 3 ton Comfortmaker A/C unit and a comfortmaker RPJII airhandeler located in the attic. The air handler is located right above the master suite. I am intrigued by zoning after reading a few posts. Essentially, I have two trunk lines connected to the supply plenum off the furnace. All ductwork is flex. Also, the one thermostat is located in the dining room on the complete opposite side of the house as the master suite is.
1. First trunk line- 10" and runs to the master suite. It connects to a metal "distribution box" which has five branches (4", 4", 6", 6",6"). The master suite gets good air flow.
2. Second trunk line- 14" and the run goes to two distribution boxes. The first distribution box it goes to has three branch runs off of it to the side (7", 6", 6"). The end of this first distribution box is connected to the second distribution box by a 14" flex duct. This second distribution box has four branches off to the side (6", 6", 6", 4"). This feeds the rest of the house (two bedrooms, dining room, living room, kitchen, bathroom and sunroom). The area this trunkline feeds does not get adequate airflow in general and is very unbalanced relative to the master suite. In other words, when the system calls for cooling, the master suite gets very cold while the rest of house remains hot.
Basically, I would love to zone my system. I would like the make the master suite one zone and the rest of the house another zone. I would like to zone the other two bedrooms, but this is not completely necessary.
Here are my questions:
1. Would I install the motorized dampers on the two trunk lines coming off the plenum? (10" and 14" supply trunk lines)
2. If that is the case, it does not appear that Honeywell makes a 14" round motorized damper. Would I need to install dampers on the branch runs (i.e, the 6" runs instead)?
3. I am a little unclear as to how the motorizing dampers are installed. As I mentioned, I have flex duct. My assumption is that I remove the flex duct from the takeoff on the plenum, install the motorized damper to the takeoff on the plenum and then connect the flex duct to the motorized damper?
I appreciate any advice you can give to me.
1. Yes
2. They do make a 14" round damper
3. Yes, that is how you install the damper. I would pull the flex off of the duct tap/collar. Mount the damper onto the tap and screw it into place. Make sure the screws do not hit the damper. Fold the insulation and silver lining back to expose the black liner. Expose enough of the black liner to equal the length of the damper. Cut away some of the black liner (do not cut the insulation of silver lining). After you connect the black liner to the damper (panduit strap and tape), pull the insulation and silver lining over the damper and tape it to the duct plenum. Cut out a small section to expose the damper motor. Strap the damper to the trusses/rafter to support the weight.
You are having hot and cold spots due to a poorly designed duct system. It is expensive to install a zone system. You could try to balance your system first by doing some duct modifications. The easiest and most cost effective thing you could do is install a 10" manual damper to cut off some of the air flow into the master bedroom. It really isn't a good idea to just zone one bedroom. You will also need to install a bypass damper (barometric damper), if you decide to install a zone system.
Honeywell makes round zone dampers up to 20" that I know of.
The areas conditioned by your 14" zone aren't balanced to your master suite because the ducts are sized wrong.
Zoning is more then just installing dampers in your supplies. If you just do that. You'll have lots of problems heating or cooling your house.
Need info on your return set up.
You'll also need a bypass damper to zone your house.
I have thought about the 10" manual damper before as well but was concerned about the restriction in airflow and subsequent damage to the heat exchager and/or compressor. I guess if I did a manual 10" damper, I would need to install the bypass damper as well just to be safe?
Thanks for your response beenthere. Please see my responses below.
What size ducts are attached to those return grilles.
Your supplies off of the 14" are too small. Or they would cool that area at the same rate as the bathroom.
4" flex is about 30CFM.
5" flex is about 50 CFM
6" flex is about 80 CFM(on a good day)
7" flex is about 115 CFM
10" flex is about 330 CFM
14" flex is about 780 CFM
So you have 2-4" and 3-6" branches off of the 10" flex for your master suite area. Or about 300 CFM.
For the rest of the house you have 1-4", 5-6" and 1-7". About 545 CFM.
So your master suite's supplies are close to what the 10" flex can handle.
But the supplies of the 14" are not close to what the 14" can handle.
So your system is imbalanced, because the supplies are undersized for the rest of the house.
I'd redo the supplies to the common areas of the house. Probably increase at least 1 size on all of those supply runs.
And move the other 2 bedrooms to the same zone as your master suite, and rerun that supply trunk as a 14".
With that undersized return, your system definitely isn't moving 1200CFM.
Look at the amount of supply you have going to your master suite. And how much return is ran to it.
Increase your 12X12 to a 14X20 grille and run a 12" to it. And increase your 14X20 to a 14X25, and run a 16" to it.
I use a diagonal cutter/pliers.
Have you even checked for prices for materials? I'm assuming you are going to do the work yourself. Upgrading each and every flex line entails:
-Replacement of flex for each supply line and return line
-Replacement of tap at distribution box
-Replacement of boot (some boots you can just change the tap; most new construction installs do not have these)
-Boots usually come in these configurations:
-If you plan on replacing the boot sizes, you will also need to replace the grills/registers. If you keep the same size boots and are just changing out the collars, you will not have this expense. You can buy boots with duct board backs (add tap to it) or with different size collars.
-Paduit straps and foil tape
Zoning system:
-Zone panel
-Thermostat wiring (you will have to run thermostat wire to each thermostat and to each damper to a centralized location. You will also need to run wire from the air handler to this location.
-Motorized dampers
-Barometric damper with duct (includes flex and taps)
-You would still need some duct modifications to make the system work properly.
Those are the things that I can think of off the top of my head. Also, most duct sizes are not sized to a .05 static pressure. I have been into a lot of attics and have not seen one that was sized to those standards. We have over 100,000 homes in my area and customers are unaware of the problem. Even if all the ducts were changed out, I bet most would not even notice a difference (I'm not referring to grossly undersized systems). It is just one of those things. People seem to forget about heating and air conditioning until it fails. I'm not saying it doesn't matter; I'm just letting you know how the majority of the units are currently running.
More reasonable/realistic duct sizing would be as follows:
4in 40 cfm
5in 65 cfm
6in 110 cfm
7in 160 cfm
8in 200 to 220
10in 400 cfm
12in 700 cfm
14in 1000 cfm
This is how most units are sized in our area and there are no complaints. I have seen ducts sized way below this standard and people do not realize it. That doesn't mean there aren't problems associated with it, but I have seen systems last 20 plus years with undersized ducts. I know that there is more to it than longevity, but I do not care to get into specifics right now. My point is to just show you how most systems are run and operated (not the ideal perfect situation).
Based on these numbers, you are closer to these cfm ratings. I'm not saying you are actually getting these numbers currently. No one can tell without testing.
Two 4" 80 cfm
Three 6" 330 cfm
Five 6" 550 cfm
One 7" 160 cfm
One 4" 40 cfm
Total 1160 cfm
400 cfm per ton = 1200 for 3 ton system
From these numbers, you can see that your system was designed using more moderate sizes. It is your house and you can do whatever you want to do, but I don't think your problem is significant to take drastic measures. You can upgrade the entire system, but I can almost guarantee you will be the only one in the entire neighborhood with those size ducts.
Here are my suggestions:
You are obviously getting too much air into your master suite. Unless your master suite is comparatively larger than the rest of your house, it is a safe assumption that it doesn't need that much air. I would go around the house and check temperatures looking for hot spots. You should increase air flow to these areas. You can accomplish this by increasing the duct size or adding a supply to it if there is a significant difference in temperature. Install a 10in damper into the bedroom supply line. Since you are the home owner, you can adjust the damper manually until it matches the rest of the house. I didn't mean for this post to be so long, but I feel like people tend to do too much with projects. People that help others on the internet are passionate about what they do and inform them according. I just try to give real world approaches to solutions, and I'm definitely price conscious. I sought help doing a roofing project on another forum and spent $600 to $700 more because the standards on the internet are so much higher. I even talked a professional roofer and he asked me why I went through the additional steps and expense. If I had to do it all over again, I would just install the roof like all the other companies in my area do. Good luck
Trashed all non pertinent post to the OP.
If you want to post similar posts as you did. Start a new thread in off topic forum.
Just in case you have been on vacation or something, I wanted to add some of my suggestions that were deleted. I hope that is all right beenthere. A lot of my posts were deleted that were directed to the OP. They had some of other stuff in them as well, but I think, my opinion, they could be beneficial. I will keep it short and to the point. OP you should check for temperature differences in all the rooms. Your original installer obviously didn't size your ducts correctly. They allocated over 1/3 of the air flow to your master suite. In my opinion, this is too much air flow. I have never seen a master suite that was that disproportionate to the rest of the house. They also seemed to just add six inch ducts to every large room. I've seen contractors do this just to keep cost and stock down. They do not have to stock as many sizes. Your house may require more air flow to certain areas and less to others. For example, you might need more air flow to the living room and less to the master suite. You should figure out which areas require more air flow than others. Basically, you are looking for temperature differences. This will not tell you exactly how much air flow is required for each room. You would need a contractor to determine exactly how the proper air distribution needs to be laid out. Since you need to increase air flow to your main house anyways, it makes sense to even out the temperature now while doing so. If you have temperature differences in you main house now, you will still have them if you increase all of the ducts proportionally. I hope this makes sense. Good luck with your project. If you are knowledgeable in other areas outside of HVAC, try to give back and respond to some of my questions or others on different subforums.
Thanks to both of you for responding to this thread by the way. I would have responded earlier but work has been extremely busy for me lately and unfortunately I have had very little free time.
Nonetheless, I do appreciate your suggestions. One thing I realized today, I told you incorrectly what one of my returns is. The one with the 14" flex is actually connected to a 20x20 grill. How I got 14x20, I have no idea. Does that make any difference at all or do you still recommend that I bump the flex duct up to 16"?
Pomelo, by the way, earlier I was not ignoring your advice and I apologize if anything I said or did not say indicated that. I actually do think the 10" damper is a good place to start. To your point about hot points in the house, today was a good test for that since we have today was about 85 in NC. Anyways, the "hot" room in the house is the sunroom. There are two vents in there that I believe are connected by a 6" flex each. One consideration is just adding another vent there. Or to beenthere's point, I might just need to increase the ducts to 7" coming off the 14" trunkline. Still at the end of the day, the master suite is getting way to much airflow, so the 10" damper is a good idea. I was a little spooked at the idea because I just had our blower motor replaced a few weeks. I was concerned the excess static pressure might cause some harm. However, I am a complete newbie at this, so I could be completely wrong.
A little off topic
By the way, this is a little off topic I know, but.... one thing I have never liked is how the 14" flex trunkline makes a very sharp 90 degree turn right off the plenum. Plus, the flex is not stretched at all. I always thought this hampered airflow through out the rest of the house. Personally (this may be overkill), I would rather just replace the trunkline with a round metal 14". In it's current state, the flex connects to a rectangular "distribution" box. I would like to get away from that. But.. how do you connect supply lines to a round metal trunk? The only thing I could surmise would be to use a saddle duct tap such as this.
Would that work? Or is there some better way? Also, is there any benefit to replacing the this flex run with a round metal?

Grable Looks to Lead Phoenix to Fast Start on the Road
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - As the Green Bay men's soccer team prepares to kick off regular-season play Thursday, Sept. 1 at SIU-Edwardsville (SIUE), it will look to senior Stuart Grable (Neenah, Wis.) to help get the Kelderman era off to a fast start. Despite losing five starters from the 2010 roster, Green Bay features several talented players, like Grable, that have dedicated a lot of time in the offseason to help the Phoenix be successful.
"I worked on taking on the role as a creator in setting up my teammates for goals, scoring goals myself and doing anything I can to help the team out," said Grable. "With this team, the sky is the limit."
While Grable looks forward to a successful senior campaign, he also acknowledges how fortunate he is to be finishing his career being coached by the same blood with which his career started. Kris Kelderman's father, Harry coached Grable at Neenah High School, and the duo led the Rockets to its most recent 2007 state championship, the same year Grable was named the Wisconsin Player of the Year.
"One of the first things he (Kris) said when I met him was that he was sorry I had to be coached by another Kelderman," Grable said. "I'm glad I have the opportunity to be coached by both of them. It's a good way to start and definitely a great way to finish my playing career."
The fondness is mutual as both Kris and Harry enjoy(ed) the privilege of coaching a talented player like Grable and look forward to his future success this season.
"When I first got hired I talked to my dad about the kind of player Stu was and what he thought his strengths and weaknesses were," said Kris. "I expect and am comfortable that wherever we play him, he will produce. He's such a hard worker and does whatever is asked of him."
"He's a very hard-working youngster. He's a quiet, productive player who makes the most of his opportunities," Harry said. "From what I've seen, I think he's a better player now than he's ever been, especially with playing in so many different positions."
In high school, Grable played in the forward position before playing a role in the defensive and midfield positions at Green Bay. This season, Kelderman finds Grable most effective in the same position his father Harry did in high school.
"We're confident Stu can be effective anywhere we put him on the field," Kelderman said. "Some of my father's fondest memories came when Stu was there playing for him and I think that says a lot."
Harry credits Grable's experience playing with the FC Milwaukee club team as part of his success in high school and is confident his son will bring out the best in the team captain's final season at Green Bay.
"I think Kris has the experience and knowledge of the game to bring Stu to the highest level he's ever played at," said the WSCA Hall of Fame Coach. "I also think he's going to put the young man where he'll be most effective with the team concept in mind."
Throughout his collegiate career, Grable has stepped on the field every game for the Phoenix while starting every contest since the beginning of his sophomore campaign. Kelderman looks to get Grable closer to the goal this season and from that point is confident his work ethic will pay off.
"He's a very good leader and has a lot of respect from others just by how he conducts himself," Kelderman said. "If anything he may be too hard on himself, but that's just because he expects perfection and is willing to work until he achieves it."
Green Bay (0-0) vs. SIUE (1-0)... The Phoenix opens regular season play Thursday at SIUE at 7 p.m. at Korte Stadium in Edwardsville, Ill. The Cougars are 1-0 in the young season after a 3-1 upset victory at No. 29 Tulsa on Aug. 27. Thursday's game will be the first for Green Bay under new head coach Kris Kelderman and the season home opener for SIUE.
It will be the second meeting between the two squads with the last being in 1993 at the Marquette Tournament in Milwaukee, resulting in a 2-1 Green Bay win.Fans can watch Thursday's game for free here. The Phoenix will continue its road trip on Saturday, Sept. 3 as it travels to No. 37 Bradley (2-0) for a 7 p.m. contest.

I have it: 28 I had it: 6 I want it: 64
The word " Attar "comes from the Urdu language and means" Fragrance Divine ", a definition which stresses the power of the magician in his wake. Formerly took the name of "Ittar" which in Arabic means "Heavenly Fragrance". According to legend, the birth of ' Attar is due to an accidental event. One day, the Persian Queen Nour-Dijhan, walking among the streams of the imperial garden, he noticed a veil fat floating on the water at the point where they drop thousands of roses. After collecting a few drops of that liquid gold with a peacock feather and it smelled, the queen was enchanted by what he called heavenly scent. Because of the sharp fall had been a natural process of distillation, which had brought to the surface the essence of the rose and gave birth to the first Attar of Rose. L ' Attar is completely free of alcohol and comes in an oily substance made by the soul alone, and only smelling extracted from natural raw materials, according to ancient procedures for processing.
An eastern fairy tale whispered softly, enclosed in glass walls. Bard Al Badour is inspired by the beauty of a woman told in a famous story of "The Thousand and One Nights." Full of sensuality up to capacity, its species were selected to evoke unnerving and secret pleasures. Drops of Rosa Damascena and tears of Ambergris are the prelude to a dream-erotic aroma that magnetizes the head notes. A fluctuating moment of vibrantintensity that explodes in a heart filled with two types of wood Oudh, Burmese and Cambodian. A visceral love tribute to the aroma that most of all recounts the east. Sandalwood and Wood Oudh silver seal this exotic fantasy with a thousand of sensual reflections.
Available in 12 ml bottle.

As much as I absolutely adore Tribute, this one is soooooo heavy on the rose on my skin. Seriously, I can't smell anything but the rose...it overpowers all of the other notes for me and I was hoping for more oud, wood and smoke. I know there have differences in batches for these attars, but all the reviews on this one are so mixed, maybe it's batch differences? I highly doubt if I will wear this one again and am willing to do a trade so it can be properly enjoyed.
I purchased a 1ml sample on Ebay, the picture was of the black box. IMHO I don't think the black box attars are very nice. This goes on very sharp and astringent, it reminds me of floor cleaner. There is a very thin, thin thread of saffron. Mostly it's like Pine Sol. Very expensive Pine Sol. Guess I missed out on the amazingness of this attar! Oh well. Save your money ladies and gents, save your money.
(I also purchased a NIB black box Amouage Attar of Tayyiba, which is also sharp and not very nice. This is what I'm basing my opinion of the black box attars on, as well as having seen opinions elsewhere stating that the black box versions aren't the greatest.)
I would like a 1ml of this,please,perfume lovers!I can swap you with 1ml Homage or Tribute,let me know!
the dry, dusty oud here is front and centre. it's quite genuine, or at least smells as such, and is the main character in this composition. there are traces of some floral sweetness and some form of woodsiness, but the oud overshadows it all. if you love your oud, this one is for you...
Wow! Beautiful, opulent, powerful, sensual...everything about Badr al Badour is simply grand. Just a simple drop and you feel surrounded by a cloud of sultry oud with rose, but with a twist. It is not the typical rose-oud perfume, this is way beyond that. Leathery, smoky, animalic, medicinal, but smooth and delicate at the same time.
Attar comes from the Persian and all the variations (ittar, atr, itr) is the same word referring to the same thing. Urdu is derived from Persian, not the other way around.
Oooooooh,so potent.
It is truly Arabian vibe,I feel like a Bauduin in the desert.
Smoky ,desert,rose.smoke that comes from cooking on fire,heavy and serious.
It's to much for me,brings out memories of ancient middle ages times.
Maybe it will be better appreciated in a very cold weather.
I have tried another Attar from Amouage,not yet in the data base, Salamah which I liked better on me.
i felt sad..this past few days when i got the news that amouage attar is not available anymore....
Beautiful, but strong. Probably depends on your climate, but in the cold here it's too strong for me.
The ambergris is nice 'though!
Ayoon Al Maha on me, but it souns like the love story of Ayoon Al Maha blossomed into something much more mature. Good.
Ooh, oh my God... I haven't had this level of sensual experience in a very long time
OK, let me try and explain: opening is smoky and dry; a dead ringer for tobacco. I wouldn't call this feminine, but wait...
There it is, a soft, slow moving current of lush.
This is pretty much a very high end tobacco scent; I've never experienced oud like this. I could just roll in it. A little goes a long way, though, so I don't need to. But wow, what an amazing fragrance!

It's insufficiently appreciated just how bad housing has been as an investment.
Figures from Lloyds Banking Group show that average house prices in June were 30 per cent below the 2007 peak, adjusting for inflation. This fall is so great that it has offset a lot of earlier gains, with the result that even quite long-term returns have been poor.

Posted by Peter O'Neill on the B2B Marketing Professionals Blog on December 14, 2012
One of the most enjoyable tasks as a Forrester analyst is reviewing all of the Groundswell awards submissions. And we know many of you also look forward to seeing the innovative approaches that other B2B companies use to listen to and engage with customers. This year, we received 45 entries and we judged submissions across seven categories: Listening, Talking, Energizing, Spreading, Supporting, Embracing, and Mobile.
Earlier in November, we announced the winners and then presented a Webinar to Forrester clients where we discussed the awards process, criteria, highlights, and named all the winners. And we described why they won their awards as well as featuring many other entries that we thought warranted an honorable mention.
Download this podcast to hear more from Kim Celestre, Zachary Reiss-Davis, and myself about the Groundswell B2B Awards (it runs for around 45 minutes):
Posted by Nigel Fenwick on the CIOs Blog on July 15, 2011
Let's face it, there are plenty of examples emerging of organizations doing great things with social technologies -- but just how many are having a measurable impact on their organization's goals?
If you think your organization is already doing great things with social technology you may be right. If you are seeing measurable results, I encourage you to nominate your organization for a Groundswell award.
What's a Groundswell award? Josh Bernoff, one of the authors of Groundswell, explains the history of the award in his blog here. Each year we review multiple nominations across various categories of social technology use; we identify the examples we believe best demonstrate the criteria for winning each award. We have categories that include internal and external uses of social technologies, and we're especially interested to see examples of strong collaboration between IT and Marketing. This is the fifth year we are running these awards (you can see past winners here and a full list of award categories below).
Posted by Nigel Fenwick on the CIOs Blog on June 7, 2010
Each year we conduct a search for the best examples of social media/social communities as part of our search for winners of the prestigious Forrester Groundswell Awards. This year we have added a new category of award aimed at internal communities designed to help management with innovation and/or collaboration across the organization — communities that empower employees.
In the fall I'll be helping my colleague, Ted Schadler — co-author of the upcoming book Empowered — to judge the winners of the management category. So if you have a social community or social media success story please consider nominating your firm for one or more categories in this year's awards.
Find out how to submit your nomination through the Forrester Groundswell blog here.
If you are a vendor and helping a client implement a social community you may nominate your client with their permission.
Good luck!

This is a discussion on How do I obtain a UPIN to speed up background checks? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I am a CCP holder for a couple years now. I did have to aquire an expungement on my past record in order to purchase ...
I am a CCP holder for a couple years now. I did have to aquire an expungement on my past record in order to purchase firearms. Everytime I buy a firearm I have to wait the full amount, eventhough I have a CCP and the expungement.
I was told by a FFL dealer that when they do my background checks that it is probably getting hungup on that until they do enough research to clear it.
I googled UPIN & FBI but the phone # is not in use. Any ideas?
Federal Bureau of Investigation - Criminal Justice Information Services Division - Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs)is that the one?FBI NICS Section Customer Service at telephone number 1-877-444-6427.
edit: take a look at this, seems to be the appication:
"a reminder that no law can replace personal responsibility" - Bill Clinton 2010.
Yeah, thats the number that is not in service.
But the application looks good. Thanks!
Call 1-877-324-6427.
Listen to the prompts, you want non FFL customer service. They can direct you how to apply.
If you have A CCW in N.C. they do not do a background check in The great State of N.C. Thats Nice

I might give that a try also.....

Obtaining a UPIN is a cure for delays for a minor infraction history. I had this problem myself, that I always was on delay, but always got proceed after the three days in Indiana. Called NICS and while they couldn't confirm the infraction it became apparent that I would always be on delay, but never denied, unless of course of a new and barring infraction. Was told of the UPIN and applied and recieved my UPIN. Now it's cash and carry. My infraction, as it was simple for me to figure as there weren't any others, was buying beer at the age of 19 and being arrested for it. That would come up as "possession" and would delay me until the record was opened up and could be seen that it wasn't a deniable charge/conviction. Good luck it works!
Never knew that, good to know, myself and my better half walked in to Academy Sports last night to buy her a 38 and 73 minutes later walked out with the 38 and a Mossberg 500 Persuader (ok, I got weak willed and couldn't resist it, it was calling my name from down at the other end of the counter dang it).
I'm proud of myself, after handling it and checking it over completely, I lasted exactly 1 minute and probably 30 seconds and thats 30 seconds long then I thought I would last.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
Heh, I was flat out amazed that several months ago I walked up to an Academy Sports counter at 9:30pm on a Tuesday I think, having "never been in the system" or yet to have applied for my firearms license and was outside the door at 9:53pm with my Glock 27, an extra mag and some ammo. 23 minutes from greeting to purchase. Me filling out the paperwork took the most time. The guy at the counter said having a fairly unique name helps. I did not provide my SSN.
What was odd was them walking it outside and only handing it over to me once I was outside the store. Yeah, that's a safety measure that makes sense.

You just call the FBI # 1-877-324-6427 and let it go till someone picks up and ask for customer service for UPIN info.
They will take your info and mail you a package to fill out and a finger print card to take to your local sherriffs office to
be printed and make sure that office put their stamp on it or its no good.
You send the paperwork and finger prints after making sure you signed the back of your paperwork so they can process it and it can take 30 to 150 days depending on the individual.

The guest post below is by Dan Tuffery, a senior developer at Ixxus, which is a global systems integrator, Alfresco Platinum Partner and member of the Alfresco Million $ Club who is also speaking at this year's DevCon in Berlin. He has been working on Alfresco solutions for a number of years and is a certified Alfresco and Solr developer. After working with Solr and familiarising himself with its benefits, Dan has recently developed code which successfully integrates the faceted search capabilities of Solr with Alfresco 4.
'Faceted Search' is a powerful search feature that allows users to explore content collections by applying multiple filters to their search results in a navigational way.
This approach enables users to continue to employ a simple 'keyword' style search, but the analysis of the results allows them to intelligently add filters 'as they go' rather than trying to guess the right filters before starting the search. This means users can get to the right content more quickly with less fiddly search criteria.
Here at Ixxus, we've enabled this amazingly useful and much asked for, feature within Alfresco Share. All it takes is a simple installation and some straight-forward configuration using the Share administration interface.
You'll be pleased to hear that we're made our effort open source, so it is free for all to get started using and improve.
A picture is worth a 1000 words, so without further ado, here's a screenshot:
One of the cool new features released in Alfresco was the integration of Solr to support search on the Alfresco repository. Solr is a fast, scalable open source search server built on top of Apache Lucene. In addition to providing performant full-text search, replication and distributed search, Solr also ships with a number of search features that will enhance the end user's search experience, including faceted search (synonymous with faceted navigation, faceted query and faceted browsing).
So you've seen the results we can achieve with Facet Search and to help you get started I wanted to further illustrate the functionality of my implementation with Solr + Alfresco. Through the use of screenshots below, I will quickly walk you through the functionality to show how facet fields are added to Alfresco so that they are displayed along with the search results in Share.
Facet Manager
A new Facet Management page has been added to Share's admin console. The Facet Management page allows administrators to create, edit and delete facet fields within Alfresco. It also gives administrators control over how and when the facets should be displayed.
It is possible to navigate to the Facet Management page by selecting More from the main menu at the top of the page in Share.
By selecting the Facet Manager menu item in the left and column, the Facet Management page will be displayed.
Adding Facet Fields to Alfresco
When the New Facet button in the top right hand corner of the Facet Manager page is selected a dialog window will be presented that contains a facet field form.
The form contains a drop down of fields including facet field type, name, display, minimum count, etc. For example, if I select the property option from the facet type drop down list, a request is sent to Alfresco to get a list of properties that can be used as facets. The list that is returned in the response from Alfresco is populated in the field name drop down on the form.
Once I have saved the title property facet field, I shall also add facet fields for Content Type and Mime Type by choosing them the from the Facet Type drop down.
Now I have four facet fields added to Alfresco that I can now execute searches to see them in action.
So there you have it, Faceted Search in Alfresco. An easy and configurable way to add facets to an Alfresco instance and display them on the search results page. Let us know what you think (@Ixxus) and if you're interested to see more, come hear Dan speak on this topic at DevCon Berlin next month!

Mars rover Curiosity has made its first scoop of the surface of the planet and has detected a bright object on the ground, Nasa says.
Officials said they suspect the object might be a part of the six-wheeled rover, but they will not sample or scoop any more until they figure out what it is.
Curiosity has already beamed back pictures of bedrock which suggest a fast-moving stream once flowed on the Red Planet.
The rover landed on August 5 and is on a two-year, 2.5 billion US dollar (£1.5 billion) mission to study whether microbial life could have existed on Mars in the past.
Today's Mars is a frozen desert, but previous geological studies suggest it was once warmer and wetter.

Atkins diet Induction is the first, and most restrictive, phase of the Atkins Nutritional Approach. From all four steps the Atkins diet phase 1 will be 2 weeks long.
Atkins diet Induction phase is a ketogenic diet too. The "ketogenic" diet is widely used in medicine not only to treat obesity, but also to treat conditions such as epilepsy and diabetes.
Your Goal: Force the body into ketosis. Stabilize your blood sugar. Stop sugar and carbohydrate cravings.
Ketosis means that body burns its own fat for fuel. Your body changes from a carbohydrate-burning engine into a fat-burning engine.
Allowed: at least 100 grams of fat and protein foods like meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, fowl, eggs, up to 4 ounces (113g.) of soft or semi-soft cheese such as cheddar cheese, salad vegetables, other low carbohydrate vegetables, butter, olive oil, vegetable oils and 3 tablespoons of cream.
Drink at least eight glasses of water per day.
Prohibited: alcoholic or caffeine drinks. Also starchy foods or vegetables, fruits, grains, potatoes, beans, carrots, corn, pastries, legumes, nuts, seeds, rice, potato chips, all breads, flour, all pasta, sugar, candy, milk... anything containing high levels of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrate intake is restricted to no more or less than 20 grams of net carbs per day, meaning total carbs minus fiber, sugar alcohol, or glycerin. It will be virtually no carbohydrate in the first week of Atkins Induction.
When you're counting carbs you only need to count "Digestible" carbs. So...if the item has 10 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of fiber is listed below it, you can count 7 grams in your daily allotment.
12 to 15 net grams of all 20 must come of salad greens and other vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, pumpkin, lettuce, cucumbers, celery, cauliflower, turnips, tomatoes, and asparagus, to name a few of the 54 allowed by Atkins (but not legumes, such as green beans, since they are too starchy for the Induction phase).
All 12 to 15 net grams equals to three cups of loosely packed salad or two cups of salad with two-thirds cup of certain cooked vegetables each day.
Full Atkins Diet Food List for Induction
Beware Hidden Carbs! Carbs are in everything you can eat. Please consider purchasing a good carb counter while Atkins diet Induction phase.
Atkins Diet Free Menu For One-Week
Make YOUR Atkins Diet Menu Plan!
The low intake of fruit and vegetables could result in vitamin deficiency. Atkins prescribes very large vitamin supplements - daily multivitamin with minerals, except iron.
After low carb Atkins diet Induction, you'll be able slowly add more carbohydrate foods back into your diet. You will only watch Your intake of refined grains and sugar.
Weight loss - is fastest during Atkins Induction diet. Losing 5 to 10 pounds per week are not uncommon when Induction is combined with daily exercise.
By the time You will reach the Maintenance phase, You will know:
This phase is often the most challenging. For two weeks you'll use protein and fat for energy.
During this stage, eat only meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, cheeses, butter, vegetable oil and salad greens. You are allowed a few cups of salad and Atkins-approved vegetables.
Do not skip meals. You'll need to eat at least three meals per day, preferably five.
Always check the carb count on the package or use a carbohydrate counter.
At least eight glasses of water per day. Refrain from alcohol, caffeine drinks and start taking a multivitamin.
Stay on the plan for only 14 days, and you will start losing weight.
See some success stories and more information!

I have had 4 children all by c-section and gained a lot of weight. When I turned 30 I decided to get my figure back and in 8 months lost 8 stone. My body resembled a melted candle,it was disgusting. I visited my GP who referred me to a consultant. I was offered a breast lift or tummy tuck on the NHS, I was over the moon! 8 months later(June 2012),I went in for my proceedure. That night i felt great a little dizzy from morphine but all went well, was up and about when I felt very strange and faint, next i knew i had doctors and nurses rushing me to my bed. I had lost a pint of blood in minutes, my blood pressure was 70/40 and i had gone into shock. I needed 2 blood transfusions. I thought I was over the worse, then they told me I had an infection and a large clot. I was treated with antibiotics. The drains couldn't be removed as i was still bleeding to much,so i came home with a drain after 6 days. The skin by my old belly button had gone black within 2 days, the surgeon said it was due to the infection and it would be fine. Holes bgan to appear due to the amount of blood inside me trying to find a way out! I was bleeding so much it was difficult to control and i was changing the dressings 5/6 times a day. When a nurse had came to check this(after 2 wks),she contacted my GP who sent me to the hospital. As my surgeon was on holidays another surgeon saw me and within 9 hrs i was back in theatre gettig the skin removered and clot which has now left me with a hole 7x5cm and 3 inches deep! Learn to love yourselffor who you are,its not worth the risk!

This is an interesting option. It does not say much about audio:
Audio Section
- Realtek ALC5623
- Digital-to-Analog Converter with 92dB SNR and 85dB THD+N
- Analog-to-Digital Converter with 85dB SNR and 80dB THD+N
- Stereo headphone output with on-chip 45mW headphone driver (AVDD=3.3V, 16Ω load)
- 3 channels separated logic (2+1)
- 10 Band graphic Equalizer.
Can you provide more info on RMS Power, THD, speakers, etc... and compare vs the optional Infinity system?
You can get the upgraded Infiniti Audio System only with the tech pachage.
Basically the tech package provides both Navigation and upgraded audio. You cannot choose to have one or the other.
I understand that your product is a valid alternative for Navigation but it is not improving the factory basic Audio.
Unless you mean to have your product installed on fully loaded models. That will not save me any $$$.
Ultimately you're right because if I understand correctly, you already have to have the infinity system and nav for this to work...correct?
Not sure how much the sound will improve, but what one would essentially be paying for is the extra multimedia features and more importantly, to those for whom navigation is important, a likely much better navigation system.
Charles, I note that in one thread you note the superiority of your navigation over OEM and other out there. Can you answer the following:
- Does yours do 3D?
- Does it do like the newer Garmins and show a "on road view" when you approach turn offs or interchanges?
- Can you clarify how often updates are available, and if there is a charge for updates, how much?
- Presume voice commands is a feature?
One of the downside of the Hyundai nav, as mentioned by Ken Dude, is lack of 3D, and if anything like my fathers 2011 SF, about 3 years out of date when he bought new. Furthermore, $200 to update to the latest maps (which are probably still 2 years out of date) is pretty steep.
So the clincher for this will be quality of the navigation system, as well as frequent and hopefully free or inexpensive updates. Finally, a price that makes it worthwhile given owners would already be forking out a significant amount of coin for the tech package.
My take anyway.

Quantified cooling.
In the past, choosing a helmet often came down to a series of dichotomous choices: aerodynamics or ventilation, speed or comfort. Nowadays, options such as the MET Estro Helmet let you choose All of the Above. Featuring large vents and a streamlined design, this helmet is simultaneously fast and cool.
To achieve this, MET didn't just aimlessly add air ports into the Estro's design. Instead, it developed a protocol that measures a helmet's performance in terms of ventilation called Air Scale. Simply put, it measures two essential parameters: the Head Contact Surface (HCS) and Cooling Factor (CF). The HSC indicates, with a percentage, how much of the head is in contact with the helmet. This lets MET design the Estro so HCS is at a minimum—in this case 65%. This reduced contact also helps the Estro decrease heat buildup and gives it a CF of 7.5 out of 10.
A Safe-T Smart retention system holds the Estro snugly in place using a micro retention system that features both horizontal and vertical adjustment. This easy-to-adjust system distributes pressure across a broader surface than other retention systems to further increase comfort. Inside, MET's Cocoon system of internal padding offers a soft and protective layer against your skin.
- A streamlined cycling helmet with ample airflow
- Full-wrap polycarbonate shell for added durability
- Safe-T Smart adjustment system customizes fit
- Soft Cocoon internal padding further promotes comfort

Reviews & Community
Good for the sale price, not my fav
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I agree with everything in Peter S's review, but I just want to add that this helmet is seriously well ventilated. I'm pretty sure it costs me me speed going downhill, because it feels like a sail on my head. On the flip side of it costing me speed, it certainly cools my head off. I wouldn't wear this outside of hot weather, but I do like it on super hot days. The gel pad system really helps in keeping my head cool. It also offers pretty good coverage, down to my sunglasses. It's just that it's such a sail when your speed increases over 25 mph.
At least the fit info for this helmet is spot-on. Giro's stinks.
how much does the estro size medium weight ?
284 grams
A solid mid-level helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
This is a decent, serviceable helmet - nothing flashy, but good functionality and fit. Pretty light yet feels sturdy. The adjustable straps work well, but the plastic clip can get too near the earlobe if not positioned right. Like most helmets I've owned, the rear strap still manages to get twisted and I wish it stayed flush against the side of my head. Otherwise happy with it.

The Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition started today at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center in downtown Salt Lake City.
Admission to the competition, which continues over the next two weeks and culminates with a June 25 concert in Abravanel Hall, is $20 for the preliminary and semifinal rounds ($8 for students) and $30 for the finals ($15 for students). An all-access pass is $150 ($50 for students). The event is streaming live at http://www.bachauer.com.
The 37 contestants, ages 19 to 32, drew for performance order Wednesday night. Each will play a 30-minute recital of self-chosen repertoire over the first three days of competition. They will perform 40-minute recitals, in the same order, June 16-19. Twelve semifinalists will perform hourlong recitals over the following two days before three finalists are selected to play complete concertos with the Utah Symphony on June 25. Here's the schedule for the first round.

At its first-ever developer conference in San Jose yesterday, Verizon Wireless announced plans to join in the ever-growing ranks of companies able to boast their very own application stores. Launching in the fourth quarter of 2009, the wireless giant's app store will join the likes of Apple's tremendously successful iPhone App Store, BlackBerry's App World, and Palm's App Catalog.
Verizon said it will offer application developers tools to quickly and easily distribute and monetize their applications with moderate oversight, signaling a departure from a mentality that in the past has been criticized by some as being restrictive and innovation-stifling.
"We are focused on providing tools, distribution and monetization capabilities broadly to the development community. It makes great sense as we move along this path that we encourage apps development in a variety of operating systems and programming languages," said Ryan Hughes, vice president of Business Development and Partner Management for Verizon.
Verizon is anything but new to the app store game. In partnership with Qualcomm, Verizon began providing mobile handset content on the BREW platform in 2001. Verizon's latest moves aims to allow its army of wireless customers to easily find useful BREW applications in a catalog of thousands.

In 2011, I wrote a five-part series on alternating current (AC) motors and motor efficiency. This column will go into more detail about the impact of efficiency.
Efficiency defines how well a motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. If a motor were 100-percent efficient, only 746 watts would be required to produce 1 horsepower. If its efficiency were reduced to 50 percent, it would need 1,492 watts to produce the same output. Unfortunately, physics does not allow any machine to be 100-percent efficient, but larger motors can reach 96-percent efficiency. Even 1 horsepower motors can exceed 80 percent.
Where do the excess watts go? The largest single loss (30 percent) is the stator resistance loss (stator I2R). If the stator wire size for a given motor horsepower is increased, resistance losses are reduced.
The second largest loss (20 percent) is rotor resistance loss (rotor I2R). Larger rotor bars will lower resistance and, therefore, reduce these losses. One reason that premium-efficient motors are more expensive than lower efficiency models is the increase of copper in the stator and new rotor designs that allow larger rotor bars.
The third largest loss (19 percent) is core loss. Core losses—composed of hysteresis and eddy currents—are a result of the continuously changing magnetic field in the steel laminations of the stator and rotor. Using higher quality steel can reduce hysteresis losses, while eddy current losses are decreased by using thinner and better insulated laminations. Lengthening the lamination stack will also reduce core losses by reducing the flux density within the stack. These improvements add to the cost of premium efficiency motors.
The fourth largest loss (18 percent) is stray load loss. These losses usually increase with the motor load and can be reduced through proper motor design.
Coming in last (13 percent) are friction and windage losses. Friction is caused by friction in the ball or roller bearings, and little can be done to increase bearing efficiency. Windage is a combination of the drag produced by the spinning rotor and the internal or external cooling fan. Fans are sized to meet a motor's cooling requirements at the lowest possible energy requirement.
Nameplate Versus Actual Efficiency
A motor's full-load efficiency can be higher or lower than its nameplate efficiency. The efficiency shown on the nameplate is the "nominal" efficiency. Nominal efficiency is defined as the average efficiency of a large population of motors of the same design. The nameplate on a 50-horsepower, 1,800-rpm motor shows the average efficiency for some number of motors that were tested. Any single motor may have an actual efficiency that is higher or lower than the one on its nameplate. However, a minimum efficiency must be met by any motor in the group. The nameplate for a 50-horsepower, 1,800-rpm motor shows a nominal efficiency of 94.5 percent. It could be higher, but its guaranteed minimum efficiency is 93.6 percent. This can be an issue if the engineering specifications require motor testing at the factory, and it performs under its nameplate rating.
Full-Load Versus Partial-Load Efficiency
Many think that a motor will reach its maximum efficiency when running at full load. Actually, almost all NEMA motors will reach their maximum efficiency between 65 percent and 80 percent of full load (see Figure 1). This maximum efficiency is often a full percentage point greater than full-load efficiency. Sizing a motor to run at about 80 percent of full load decreases the operating temperature and increases its insulation life without decreasing efficiency. It also allows for higher than normal ambient temperatures, voltage drops and a small percentage of phase unbalance.
The Effect of EPACT and EISA
The Energy Policy Act (EPACT) that was introduced in 1992 set a minimum efficiency (EPACT Efficiency) for T-frame motors from 1 to 200 horsepower operating at 1,200 rpm to 3,600 rpm. These efficiencies were detailed in National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) MG1, Table 12-11. This law did not apply to lower speed motors, those above 250 horsepower and several "general purpose" designs. Also, the mandate was not enforceable until October 1997. Premium (higher) efficiency motors were available from some manufacturers, but they were not required.
In 2010, EPAC was replaced by the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA). This law stated that all T-Frame motors from 1 to 200 horsepower operating from 1,200 rpm to 3,600 rpm must meet the premium efficiencies detailed in NEMA MG1, Table 12-12. General purpose motors up to 500 horsepower and 900 rpm that were exempted from EPACT are now required to meet the EPACT efficiencies outlined in NEMA MG1, Table 12-11. Many T-frame motors, 200 horsepower and larger, already meet the efficiencies shown in Table 12-12. Prior to EPACT, the typical efficiency of a 10-horsepower, 1,200-rpm motor was about 87.5 percent. EPACT raised it to 90.2 percent, and EISA increased it to 91.7 percent.
Higher motor efficiency is good because the cost of electricity will continue to increase. However, higher efficiency motors have little impact if pumps operate off their best-efficiency-point (BEP) flows. Remember that the total efficiency of a pump and motor is the product of their individual efficiencies. A centrifugal pump should always operate as close to BEP as possible.

Problem i have is that even with NO 3rd row seats installed the vehicle bottoms out with a massive thud over the smallest road undulations. I dont want to attempt going out with the kids in the back as the extra 300-500 load will surely end up damaging the back end?. The noise when it hits is almost apocalyptic!! Any suggestions on where to look for issues?

The Bellicon Rebounder or "Bellicon Swing" has the softest bounce of any rebounder on the market. The way the bellicon rebounder achieves such a soft bounce is by uses bungee ropes rather than metal springs. In addition to providing an incredibly soft bounce Bellicon's bungee ropes are completely quite.
Bellicon Rebounders are imported from Germany and are beautifully crafted not only to provide the best workouts available but to be esthetically pleasing to look at.
Because of their exceptionally soft bounce the bellicon rebounder is the rebounder of choice for those with a week back or going through rehabilitation.
Please be aware that the bungee bands on your bellicon rebounder will need to be replaced every one to two years depending on frequency and intensity of use. Please also note that unless this item is defective there is a 20% restocking fee and your refund will not include shipping.

Putting national interest to the test
Page Tools
It is easy to invoke fear of foreign control, but mere assertion should not decide asset ownership rights.
Swiss-Based Xstrata's bid for resources giant WMC is generating great heat. Even the preliminary skirmishes have spilled into political territory. Senior ministers from the Prime Minister down have privately queried whether the deal would be in the national interest. Leading Liberal figures and businessmen publicly oppose foreign control of assets "of strategic and security importance", as one of them, Ron Walker, put it. The focus of concern is WMC's ownership of the Olympic Dam uranium and copper mine in South Australia, source of more than a third of the world's uranium reserves. (Regardless of ownership, this is subject to strict regulation.) The West Australian Government also claims Xstrata should not be trusted with WA mineral reserves. The history to this is Xstrata's closure of the Windimurra vanadium mine after the state invested in supporting infrastructure. The fierce debate is fuelled by the fact that foreign ownership bids require regulatory approval. Treasurer Peter Costello can reject Xstrata on grounds of national interest.
No one disputes the importance of the resources, but that alone does not decide where the national interest lies (nor do we intend to make a snap judgement). National interest and its sibling, national security, are all too easily wheeled out as big guns that quell rather than promote proper debate. Last year Prime Minister John Howard cited the national interest to demand acceptance of the US free trade agreement even before the text was public. Some see a precedent for the Xstrata case in Mr Costello's refusal of Shell's takeover bid for Woodside and its North-West Shelf gas project. In that case, though, Shell failed to convince him that its foreign interests would not create a conflict with Australia's interest in developing markets for gas from the shelf.
In many such cases, there are pros and cons to be weighed and tested in coming to a judgement on the national interest. Issues of foreign ownership are likely to arise this year in other debates on Telstra and news media. While it is vital for any nation to retain control of its destiny and strategic assets, these debates should not degenerate into smears and xenophobia about foreign investment, on which Australia's success as a globalised economy depends. Invoking a consideration as weighty as national interest creates a matching responsibility to publicly consider all the facts to arrive at a judgement that the nation can be confident is in its interest.

Back after a four-year hiatus, New York Times bestselling author Scott Adams presents an outrageous look at work, home and everyday life in his new book, Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel.
Building on Dilbert's theory that 'All people are idiots', Adams now says, 'All people are idiots. And they are also weasels.' Just ask anyone who worked at Enron.
In this book, Adams takes a look into the Weasel Zone, the giant grey area between good moral behaviour and outright felonious activities. In the Weasel Zone, where most people reside, everything is misleading, but not exactly a lie. Building on his popular comic strip, Adams looks into work, home and everyday life and exposes the way of the weasel for everyone to see. With appearances from all the regular comic strip characters, Adams and Dilbert are at the top of their game - master satirists who expose the truth while making us laugh our heads off.
Building on Dilbert's theory that "All people are idiots," Adams now says, "They are also weasels." In this hilarious book, Adams takes a look into the Weasel Zone, the giant gray area between good moral behavior and outright felonious activities.
