New Delhi/Ahmedabad, Dec 12: The prime minister's office (PMO) on Wednesday rejected Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's claim that the Indian government is planning to hand over Sir Creek to Pakistan. Responding to Modi's charge, the PMO tweeted that it was "untrue".
Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asked the prime minister to stop dialogue with Pakistan at once on the Sir Creek issue and demanded that it should not be handed over to the neighbouring nation. "I am writing on a serious issue of talks being held on Sir Creek. Any attempt to hand over Sir Creek to Pakistan would be a strategic blunder," Modi has written in a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. In Ahmedabad, Union finance minister P Chidambaram also reacted strongly to Modi's claim, calling it "ridiculous". He said, "How can one imagine doing this." He even suggested that Modi had written no such letter.
On the mirco-blogging site, the PMO's official twitter handle questioned the timing of the letter. "The contents of the letter and the timing of its release to the public, raise questions about the motives behind its issue. It also seems that Shri Modi has written his letter without making any efforts to ascertain the facts from the Government of India."
"The writing and release of this baseless letter by the CM of Gujarat in his 'personal' capacity, a day before elections, is mischievous," said the PMO tweet.
"Due to the election code of conduct, Modi wrote the letter as a concerned citizen and not as a chief minister of a state," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitaraman said in Ahmedabad while giving details of the letter at a press conference.
"I am writing to you at this juncture as I was told that a decision is being taken on Sir Creek issue on Dec 15," Modi said in the letter ahead of Pakistan interior minister Rehman Malik's visit to India from Dec 14-16.
"Sir Creek has been settled 100 years back between rulers of Kutch and Sindh. Even the tribunal verdict in 1968 headed by the then British Prime Minister Harold Wilson shows Pakistan getting only 10% of its claim of 9,000 sq kms of this border area," Modi further mentioned.
"Handing over Sir Creek to Pakistan will totally open up Gujarat border with Pakistan. I was given to understand that recently Pakistan carried out a joint operation of their army, airforce and navy code named Sea-spark-12, almost one month ago very near to Sir Creek," Modi said.
Sitaraman said BJP, as a party, supports the view of Modi on the issue. However, she evaded a question on how Modi came to know that the central government was planning to hand over Sir Creek to Pakistan.
Sir Creek is marshy water body along the India-Pakistan border, which is disputed and the two countries are bilaterally discussing the issue for quite a long time.
"Handing over Sir Creek to Pakistan will give them more control over the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the sea. This will be a permanent threat to fishermen of Saurashtra and Kutch area and also to the vital installations and major industrial installations like refineries and ports," Modi said.
Modi further said in the letter, "At no point in the entire process has the Government of Gujarat been consulted. In a similar case of Teesta agreement with Bangladesh, West Bengal chief minister was consulted and the agreement was cancelled."


text: BEST OF FESTThe Daily Beast's Best Of Sundance: Fruitvale, The Spectacular Now, Pussy Riot, and More The best films, performances, direction, and screenwriting at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Marlow Stern01.27.13 8:51 AM ETSundance Awards 2013Each year, film critics, aficionados, and industry-types flock to the mountains of Park City, Utah, for the Sundance Film Festival. The '13 edition of the premier independent film festival, running Jan. 17–27, boasted nearly 200 films culled from 12,000 submissions. Whereas last year's festival featured a number of critically acclaimed films, including Oscar nominees Beasts of the Southern Wild, The Sessions, and Searching for Sugar Man, the '13 program exhibited several movies that you'll be hearing much more about during next year's awards season. From the poignant coming-of-age drama The Spectacular Now to the riveting Fruitvale, about the real-life shooting of Oscar Grant by an Oakland, Calif., cop, here are The Daily Beast's awards for the best of Sundance. Best Picture The Spectacular Now Written and directed by James Ponsoldt—whose film Smashed, about a dysfunctional young married couple struggling with alcoholism, received critical raves at last year's fest—returns to Sundance with this touching bildungsroman. The Spectacular Now follows Sutter (Miles Teller), a gregarious high-school senior who seemingly has it all—he's popular, has a hot little number for a girlfriend (Brie Larson), and is beloved by all. His world comes crashing down, however, when his gal dumps him. He soon crosses paths with Aimee (Shailene Woodley), a nerdy go-getter with a love of sci-fi, and takes a liking to her since her purity and sincerity are completely alien to him. Aimee compels Sutter to confront his demons, including his nonexistent relationship with his father (Kyle Chandler) and subsequent vendetta against his mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh), as well as his booze problem. Despite its obviousness on paper, the film, written by the team behind (500) Days of Summer, never rings a false note—thanks in large part to the performances of Teller and Woodley, who radiate charm and evoke plenty of pathos. It came as no surprise when the pair won a Special Jury Prize for Acting at this year's fest. And, after a heated bidding war, the film was acquired by new distributor A24, who outbid Weinstein Co. for movie rights. Roast Beef Productions Best Documentary Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer Winner of the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Prize, Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer chronicles the history of the Russian feminist punk-rock collective Pussy Riot. Donning balaclavas, the gals stage unauthorized guerrilla performances around Moscow, belting out riot grrl-ish tunes that touch on feminism and LGBT rights and take potshots at Vladimir Putin. Three of the women were arrested for "hooliganism" when, on Feb. 21, 2012, they stormed the soleas of Cathedral of Christ the Savior, an Orthodox church in Moscow, and performed a raucous tune criticizing Putin. Despite lasting all of 40 seconds before being broken up by security, the trio was sentenced to two years in prison for their actions. Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin's film contains awesome performance footage of the group, as well as their heavily publicized trial, and also explores the backgrounds of the three arrested Pussy Rioters, sans balaclavas. It's a messy, frenetic, kick-ass ode to feminism, free speech, and punk-rock rebellion. HBO Documentary Films picked up the movie during the fest, so expect to catch it soon on the small screen. Steve Dietl Best Direction David Lowery, Ain't Them Bodies Saints It is truly astounding that this luscious, lyrical film marks David Lowery's feature filmmaking debut. Ain't Them Bodies Saints is set in rural Texas and tells the saga of Ruth Guthrie (Rooney Mara) and Paul Muldoon (Casey Affleck), two outlaws. After a shootout, police nab Paul and sentence him to a lengthy prison term while Ruth is acquitted of all charges. Four years later, Paul escapes from prison to reunite with his lost love, and meet the daughter they conceived just before he went away. Many have compared Lowery's direction to Terrence Malick's, since he methodically—and beautifully—captures the rich Texas landscape. With his meticulous framing and technical proficiency, his work more closely resembles the exquisite lensing of Paul Thomas Anderson. Watch out for David Lowery. You'll be hearing plenty more from him soon. And the film, which was acquired by IFC Films, will be coming soon to a theater near you. Rachel Morrison Best Actor Michael B. Jordan, Fruitvale The big winner of this year's fest—taking home both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award—Fruitvale was one of the four best dramatic features I saw at Sundance, alongside The Spectacular Now, Before Midnight, and Ain't Them Bodies Saints. It retells the plight of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old father who was gunned down by an Oakland BART officer on New Year's Day 2009. The incident, in which Grant appears to be restrained and executed, was captured on cellphone cameras and uploaded to YouTube, resulting in a national uproar. Despite building to a foregone conclusion, Michael B. Jordan's performance as Grant is nothing short of remarkable, transforming a grainy YouTube victim into a gregarious, empathetic young man caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. And Jordan, who has delivered stellar turns in Chronicle and on the TV series' The Wire and Friday Night Lights, may be getting more accolades for his performance during next year's awards season. Awards guru Harvey Weinstein—via his Weinstein Co.—acquired the film, after all. Myles Aronowitz Best Actress Brit Marling, The East Two years ago, Brit Marling was the talk of Sundance with her movie-ready backstory: Georgetown University valedictorian turns down job offer from Goldman Sachs to write and star in two well-received flicks at the fest: Another Earth and The Sound of My Voice. She's reteamed with her Voice director, Zal Batmanglij, for The East. Marling, who also co-wrote the film, stars as an agent for a corporate security firm who goes undercover to infiltrate a gang of eco-terrorists known as The East. Things get hairy, however, when she begins to sympathize with the group, including its enigmatic leader (Alexander Skarsgard) and his fiery No. 2, played by Ellen Page. The film is a marvelous platform for Marling's talents, as she leads viewers on an emotionally complex journey chock full of fascinating contradictions while never losing her grip on you. Those previous Sundance entries put the 29-year-old stunner on the map, but The East may just be the film that makes her a household name. Claire Folger Best Supporting Actor Sam Rockwell, The Way, Way Back Sam Rockwell has been one of the more underrated character actors in Tinseltown for quite some time. The only film to date that's really managed to harness his myriad talents is Duncan Jones's brilliant sci-fi film, Moon. In The Way, Way Back, writer-directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who shared the Best Screenplay Oscar with Alexander Payne for The Descendants, have crafted the perfect role for Rockwell. He plays Owen, a wacky man-child who manages the Water Wizz water park, and takes in Duncan (Liam James), a reticent 14-year-old. Owen serves as a surrogate father to Duncan, offering a welcome respite from his dysfunctional life at home where he's being smothered by his anxious mother (Toni Collette) and her asshole boyfriend (Steve Carell). Rockwell is a total riot, delivering an endless series of one-liners at breakneck speed and then, when you least expect it, slows down and imparts some valuable life lessons. If there's any justice in the world, you'll be hearing more about Rockwell's performance come next year's awards season. It's a big reason why the film became one of the costliest acquisitions in Sundance history, selling to Fox Searchlight for an estimated $9.5 million. Macall Polay Best Supporting Actress Nicole Kidman, Stoker There is a scene late in Stoker, a hyperstylized horror movie courtesy of Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), which left the crowd in stunned silence. Up until then, India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) has openly returned the advances of her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), a deranged psych-killer who moved into the family home following her father's (Dermot Mulroney) death. Their bizarre, incestuous courtship has both confused and disgusted Evie Stoker (Nicole Kidman), a lascivious floozy who beds good ol' Charlie because he resembles a younger, more handsome version of her late husband. India enters the dining room where Evie is seated at the head of the table. Kidman then unleashes a teary-eyed, two-minute monologue brimming with vitriol toward her troubled daughter. "I can't wait to see the world tear you apart," she says in a violent whisper. Like a cross between her schizo news-lady Suzanne Maretto (To Die For) and feral jezebel Charlotte Bless (The Paperboy), Evie represents Kidman at her batty best. Despina Spyrou Best Screenwriting Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, Before Midnight Before Midnight marks the third film in filmmaker Richard Linklater and stars/co-writers Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy's Before Sunrise trilogy. Set nine years after the previous installment, Before Sunset (2004), which came nine years after Sunrise (1995), Jesse (Hawke) and Celine (Delpy) are now living in Paris as a couple, and the parents to twin girls. Jesse finds himself torn between his current love and his former life, and wishes he could be there for his young son, Hank, who lives back in Chicago. After dropping off Hank at the airport following a fun summer in the Greek islands, Jesse, Celine, and the girls return to the island paradise to resume their vacation. But all is not well in paradise, as the two begin to bicker over his attachment to his son and her desire to return to a job in the French government, eventually building to a spellbinding 30-minute hotel-room fight. The film is filled with a series of intellectually stimulating confabulations examining social and sexual mores in a tech-savvy world, male hubris vs. female sensitivity, and a host of other topics. Despite mainly consisting of five big, dialogue-heavy scenes, the film, once again co-scripted by the trio, is an intimate and witty exploration of the modern family that will delight fans old and new.

Re: Working with Indeterminate in large numerical lists
$HistoryLength = 0;
n = 1000;
x = RandomSample[Join[RandomReal[1, 100 n],
ConstantArray[Indeterminate, n]]];
Timing[a1 = Select[x, ! NumberQ[#] &];]
However, note that
NumberQ /@ {1, 1., Pi, E, I}
NumericQ /@ {1, 1., Pi, E, I}
So in most cases, you would want to use NumericQ rather than NumberQ
Timing[a2 = Select[x, ! NumericQ[#] &];]
Timing[a3 = Select[x, # === Indeterminate &];]
Oddly, this is faster
Timing[a4 = x[[Flatten[Position[x, Indeterminate]]]];]
Cases appears to be much more efficient than Select in this case
Timing[a5 = Cases[x, Indeterminate];]
a1 === a2 === a3 === a4 ===
a5 === ConstantArray[Indeterminate, n]
However, for valid entries
Timing[b1 = Select[x, NumericQ];]
Timing[b2 = Cases[x, _?NumericQ];]
b1 === b2

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering about the optimal way to work with Indeterminate in
large matrices. I've been using this to replace "bad" data points that
I want to prevent from polluting calculations involving lists of data,
but I'm not sure I'm working as smartly as I could be.
As an example, suppose I have a list of machine-precision reals and
some Indeterminate elements:
x = RandomSample[Join[RandomReal[1, 1000], ConstantArray
[Indeterminate, 10]];
If I want to take only the valid entries, the best I have been able to
find is something like:
Select[x, NumberQ]
This seems to work reasonably well. But if I want to specifically
select the Indeterminate entries, there doesn't seem to be any
function (equivalent to, say, "isnan" from another system), so I have to
resort to something less succinct like
Select[x, # === Indeterminate &]
Does anyone have any suggestions on better ways to do this, or any
general tips for working with Indeterminate in this context?
I'm particularly keen to do things in the most efficient way possible
as I'm working with rather large lists.

BEREA – The disappointment of the 34-31 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles showed on Browns coach Butch Davis during his Monday press conference.
Davis was clearly in a down mood as he answered questions. He knew he had what would have been one of the team's biggest victories in hand, only to watch it slip away.
"I'm not down. I don't like losing," Davis said. "It makes me sick. I don't know if anybody recognized it, but these guys fought their guts out, even when we weren't playing well.
"When it was 21-10 and we turned that ball over, they absolutely could have gone into the tank. When you have two catastrophic turnovers on kick offs, usually the bottom caves in and the other team just beats your brains out."
What bothered Davis were the big plays allowed on defense. In particular, big plays allowed in the passing game have been telling.
"We have to eliminate the big plays," Davis said. "A year ago everyone was on a crusade that you can't stop the run. We're doing a good job of stopping the run, but we have to stop the big pass play. That has been the number one thing we have to eliminate."
Mental mistakes were another problem. Defensive end Kenard Lang estimated that the defense committed at least 20 mental miscues.
"There are degrees of severity of mental errors," Davis said. "You don't want any mental errors. You'd like for everybody to have stone-cold confidence that they know the game plan and the concepts that we're trying to get accomplished. The ultimate is no mental errors. I'm not going to say we would accept 10 or six or 12."
HAPPY WITH GARCIA: Davis agreed that quarterback Jeff Garcia had his best game of the season against the Eagles.
"He told me after the game that it really clicked," Davis said. "He knew when the hots (blitzes) were coming. He knew where the hot guys were. He felt like he had a lot of confidence going out there. Things were meshing well."
THE KING IS DOWN: Receiver Andre King was admittedly concerned when he fell to the ground with an ankle injury. King, who started in place of the injured Andre Davis, went down after breaking the huddle in the first quarter.
"I didn't know what it was," King said. "It felt real weird. It felt different. That's why I took myself out. I didn't want to mess up the offense."
TIME TO RECUPERATE: The bye week comes at a good time on the schedule.
"This is a perfect time for it," offensive tackle Ryan Tucker said. "We have some guys that are banged up."
Tucker, who recently missed three games because of a quadriceps injury, has a sore right knee. Guard Kelvin Garmon has also had to deal with a quadriceps injury, and offensive tackle Ross Verba has had a groin problem.

Problems with dimmer switch
I have a pain in the butt dimmer question. I recently bought a house and want to upgrade the lights. I bought a replacement Leviton dimmer to replace and old dial style dimmer (probably installed when the house was built in 84). It is a three way switch with 2 flood lights for a basement. I successfully replaced the dimmer however;
When I dim the lights to the lowest levels, one of the lights blinked so i replaced the bulb with a new Philips dimmer bulb (compact florescent) 20w 120 v as the blinking bulb was not dimmer rated.
Now when I dim the lights there is a loud buzzing noise.
I don't understand what could now be wrong. Other than I should be using incandescent bulbs?
Was the dimmer rated for CFL's?
The salesperson indicated that the dimmer switch would work fine as the bulbs are CFLs and designed to replace incandescent bulbs. However it is stamped on the dimmer incandescent only.
Went and got a CFL dimmer, the bulb still buzzes when dimmed....
Did the light bulbs also say dimmable?
What the model number of that dimmer switch is ??
And what ya did with the other three way switch left it alone or what ?
Yes it is a CFL dimmable bulb which is buzzing. It gets louder as the lights are dimmed. If I swap out the buzzing bulb put a non-dimmable light bulb in the socket it stops buzzing (but doesn't dim well). I'm thinking I've got a bad dimming bulb.
The CFL dimmer switch I installed was a Lutron Diva, I had replaced the other 3 way switch that controls the same lights with a standard 3 way on/off switch.
Lutron publishes a list of bulbs that they have tested for compatibility.
They only suggest bulbs that have been tested and deemed compatible. If your bulb is not on the list and/or one on the list is buzzing, you can contact Lutron Technical Support 24/7 at 800-523-9466 .

Laura Bell Bundy Is 'Achin' for Release of New Album
Laura Bell Bundy is a Tony Award-nominated actress who's moved from Broadway to get her country music career 'Giddy On Up' and going. Fans will get that catchy single and more when the album, 'Achin' and Shakin,' drops April 13.
'Giddy On Up,' an upbeat comeuppance directed toward a cheating lover, has already sold more than 30,000 singles and been streamed almost one million times in a month, according to Laura's label, Mercury Nashville.
The album itself is actually two concept discs with a single vision. 'Achin" is a selection of slow and sultry country songs, while 'Shakin" is filled with sassy, contemporary tunes. Think Loretta Lynn and Minnie Pearl meets Norah Jones and 'Sex and the City.' All of the tunes except one on 'Achin' and Shakin" were penned by Laura.
"Two records, one woman is my motto," says the singer. "I have a crazy, wild, humorous, outspoken personality and then I have a depth that only opens up when I'm alone or with one other person, and that is captured with this album. I really couldn't do one without the other."

Indiana Couple Lendsey and Delilah Harbin Arrested, Charged with Felony Theft for Sneaking Into Movie
An Indiana couple was arrested and charged with felony theft for sneaking into a movie theater without paying for $6.75 tickets.
The Times of Northwest Indiana reports that Gary residents Lendsey Harbin, 49, and his 40-year-old wife Delilah Harbin, were arrested shortly after midnight on Sunday morning at the Portage 16 IMAX Theater in Portage.
According to a police report published on The Smoking Gun, the Harbins bought tickets for and saw the action film "The Snitch" starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. They then allegedly attempted to sneak into a showing of the zombie rom-com "Warm Bodies" in an adjacent theater.
The couple did not pay the $13.50 to see the second film, and a pair of off-duty police officers working at the cinema asked them to leave just as the movie began. When they couldn't produce tickets for the film, the couple was arrested and taken to the Porter County Jail. They were charged with felony theft.
"I know we done wrong," Delilah allegedly told officers, adding that she and her husband "were at a funeral all day and just were not thinking correctly," according to the police report.

A felony? For movie tickets worth $13.50? Since when does $13.50 qualify as a FELONY theft?
You think our gubment has not noticed the fact that…
…. people with felonies can never again own a gun.
That's two less black people with guns.

Illini Football Preview
By BOB ASMUSSEN
MEMORIAL STADIUM — And a child shall lead them.
OK, not exactly a child. But a redshirt freshman. Who has never played a snap of college football.
In June, redshirt freshman Nathan Scheelhaase was named Illinois' starting quarterback for 2010. It was a move long pushed for by offensive coordinator Paul Petrino, who wanted the rest of the players to know who was the leader.
Scheelhaase won the job with a solid performance in the spring. The former star at Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst is an accurate passer and talented runner. He is able to use his legs to escape the defense and gain positive yardage on busted plays.
Jacob Charest, who entered the spring as the top candidate to replace Juice Williams, left the program in June. That means Scheelhaase's backup will be another freshman, Chandler Whitmer or Miles Osei. Whitmer has an edge after spending the spring at Illinois.
Scheelhaase and friends will get an immediate test, opening against Missouri on Sept. 4 in St. Louis. The Tigers have dominated the games at the Edward Jones Dome, including a blowout victory in 2009.
In 2007, Ron Zook was one of the most popular guys in town after leading Illinois to its first Rose Bowl in 24 years. But the glow is gone after 5-7 and 3-9 seasons. The pressure continues to increase on Zook, who replaced six coaches during the offseason.
Both coordinators are new, with Petrino taking over the offense from Mike Schultz and Vic Koenning now running the defense.
Illinois will no longer run the spread offense that first started with Mike Locksley, now the head coach at New Mexico. Instead, it will be a more traditional passing and running game.
The good news for Petrino is that he welcomes back a talented group of runners, led by Centennial's Mikel Leshoure. Also back are Jason Ford, Troy Pollard, Justin Green and Bud Golden.
A.J. Jenkins and Jarred Fayson are the best of the receivers, a position Petrino coaches. They'll get help from Eddie McGee, who will also work some at quarterback.
Three offensive line starters return, but the unit was hurt by a spring injury to Corey Lewis. He suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season.
The defensive line lost tackle Josh Brent, who wasn't able to make it back because of academic issues. Corey Liuget and Clay Nurse are the top returning linemen.
After missing most of the 2009 season with a neck injury, linebacker Martez Wilson — the most dynamic player on the Illinois defense — has been cleared to return.
In the secondary, Arrelious Benn's brother Trulon Henry is contending for a starting safety spot. The cornerbacks are set with All-Big Ten candidates Tavon Wilson and Terry Hawthorne.
The Big Ten part of the schedule is challenging, with the Illini opening against Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State. Last year, those three outscored Illinois 89-31.
The highlight of the Big Ten season might be the Nov. 20 game against Northwestern. Instead of playing at dank Ryan Field, the game will be held at Wrigley Field. Face value on tickets is as much as $150 and they may go for much more than that on the secondary market.

Gonzalez annihilates Mares in round one; Santa Cruz dethrones WBC superbantam king Terrazas
By Rocco Morales and Miguel Maravilla at ringside
Photos: Big Joe Miranda
In a shocking upset, former two division world champion, Jhonny Gonzales (55-8, 47KO) knocked out previously undefeated champion Abner Mares (26-1-1, 13 KOs) at 2:55 of the very first round on Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Gonzales landed a perfect left hook that Mares seemingly never saw coming that hurt Mares badly and had him down for an eight count before rising on very unsteady legs. When action resumed, Gonzales immediately went in for the kill and landed a barrage of punches culminating with a left hook / right cross combo that sunk Mares to the canvas. Referee Jack Reiss deemed Mares unfit to continue and with that, what looked like a farewell fight for Gonzales, now breathes new life back into his career.
In a war, unbeaten former IBF bantamweight world champion Leo "Terremoto" Santa Cruz (25-0-1, 15KO) captured the WBC super bantamweight belt with a scintillating knockout over now former champ Victor Terrazas (37-3-1, 21KO). Santa Cruz opened the bout strongly and was clearly the stronger of the two fighters, battering Terrazas with accurate shots to the head and body. Terrazas looked clearly in trouble as early as the second round and had no answer to keep the younger and stronger Santa Cruz at bay. Santa Cruz dropped Terrazas hard midway through the third round for a 9 count and then a second time for an eight count. Upon seeing the condition of the battered champion, referee Lou Moret called an end to the bout at 2:09 of the third round to make Santa Cruz the new WBC super bantamweight champion in a bout that he made look easy. Terrazas' right eye was swollen shut.
Unbeaten featherweight Julian Ramirez (9-0, 6KO) made quick work of Abraham Rubio (3-1-1, 1KO) but not before punishing him for the entire first round before pummeling him into the ropes and unleashing a flurry of punches that led to the referee to stop the fight at 2:58 of the first round. Rubio was bloodied and battered within the first minute of the fight from the precision punching of Ramirez and the referee looked close to stopping the bout for the last 90 seconds of the bout before he was left with no other choice but to finally stop it.
Unbeaten junior welterweight Antonio Orozco (17-0, 13 KOs) of San Diego scored a third round stoppage over Ivan Hernandez (29-3, 2 KOs) of Miami. Orozco's relentless body attack was too much Hernandez as referee Raul Caiz Sr. stopped the bout at 1:39 of round three.
Olympian Joseph Diaz Jr. (7-0, 5KO) was very impressive in his third round destruction of Noel Mendoza (6-3-1, 1KO). The southpaw Diaz landed impressive combinations and hard left crosses from the beginning and punished Mendoza for 2.5 rounds before dropping him midway through the third round. Mendoza showed a lot of heart to get up but then was quickly hammered to the canvas by a Diaz left cross, right hook combo that dropped him hard and led to the referee waving off the bout at 1:54 of the third round of a scheduled six round featherweight bout.
Olympian Dominic Breazeale (6-0, 6KO) kept his knockout streak intact with a fifth round knockout over Lenroy Thomas. It was a mostly lackluster fight until Thomas woke a sleeping giant after landing a couple low blows that angered Breazeale. The end came at 2:29 of the fourth round of the scheduled eight round heavyweight bout after Breazeale hurt Thomas with a right hand and finished him off in the corner with a perfectly placed uppercut. Thomas took a knee but had no desire to continue and was counted out by the referee.
Rey Vargas (15-0, 14KO) carried Juanito Rubillar (49-22, 7, 24KO) through nearly 4 rounds of a scheduled eight round featherweight bout before ending the bout with a single clubbing right hand that sent Rubillar to his knees and ended the bout at 2:58 of the fourth round. It was a lackluster fight where the much shorter Rubillar seemingly had no chance from the beginning.
Jesus Ruiz (29-5-5, 21KO) won a unanimous decision victory over determined, but outgunned, Enrique Quevedo (14-6-1, 9KO) in an eight round super bantamweight bout. It was a competitive fight but Ruiz clearly landed the more telling blows and was able to control the action from the outside with a stinging jab and good body work. Judges scored the bout 80-72, 79-73 and 80-72, all in favor of Ruiz.
Super Middleweight Ronald Gavril (6-0, 5 KOs) scored a second round knockout over David Courchaine (2-3, 2 KOs). A huge right hand floored Courchaine as referee Raul Caiz Sr. stopped the action at 1:50 of round two.
In the opening bout from the Stub Hub Center, super middleweight Lanell Bellows (5-0-1, 4 KOs) won a unanimous decision over Leshon Sims (5-16, 3 KOs). Bellows attacked the body throughout the entire bout stalking the taller Sims en route to a four round decision as all three judges scored it 40-36.

The number of people living alone in America rose from 17% in 1970 to 27% in 2007, and the average household size declined from 3.1 people in 1970 to 2.6, according the latest 2007 figures recently released by the US Census Bureau.
The new report, "America's Families and Living Arrangements: 2007," also found that nearly one-fourth of all married-couple families in the US have a stay-at-home mother, and that stay-at-home moms are more likely to be younger, Hispanic and foreign-born than mothers in the labor force.
Additional findings about stay-at-home mothers:
Regional Differences in Family Households
Utah had the highest percentage of households with children under age 18 maintained by married couples (82%), while Washington, DC had the highest percentage of households with children under age 18 maintained by a single parent (54%), the study found.
At the other end of the spectrum, New Mexico (10%) and Maine (9%) had the highest percentages of households with children under age 18 maintained by unmarried partners.
Nationally, 62% of children in married-couple households had both parents in the labor force. The states with the highest percentages included South Dakota, Vermont and North Dakota. In contrast, Arizona and Utah had the lowest percentages.
Other findings in the report:
About the report: The data for the report are from the 2007 American Community Survey (ACS) and Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the 2007 Current Population Survey (CPS).The effort represents the first time the Census Bureau has done such an analysis of stay-at-home moms and other aspects of household and family composition. The report defines stay-at-home parents as those who have a child under age 15 and a spouse who was in the labor force all 52 weeks of the year, while they were out of the labor force during the same 52 weeks to care for home and family.
Because this� latest Census Bureau data is from 2007, it does not account for any potential changes in workforce participation that may have resulted from the current recession, which has seen historically high unemployment rates.

Build Thread for TPA BIII + Ian Async I2S FIFO + OPC NTD1 + Salas SSLV
In the past few weeks, I spent lot of time to go through hundreds of pages of discussion regarding BIII, I2S, D1 and SSLV. It is difficult for me to remember or record every important notes for building, connecting or configuring all these modules. I open this thread is hoping the expert members can share their experience in building the BIII DAC with similar configuration.
I got Ian's Async I2S FIFO and is connecting with my WM8741, have GB the BIB and buying remaining components to build the SSLV for BIII and Legato, waiting for the delivery of BIII and hoping the GB for the NTD1 will be started soon. Casing will be the last task.
This will be my largest DIY project ever:D
Would love those values too, always nice to have a good starting point ;).......
I am still reading the BIB guide to figure out the required components. The three SSLV will be :
5.25V 600mA for BIII
+-15V 500mA for Legato
Ian should have all the information as he already built it.
Reviewed the BIII integration guide again and here is the SSLV arrangement:
5.25V 800mA for BIII + Sidecar + Teleporter
15V 500mA for Legato
So the BOM in addition to the GB are:
MUR820/40/60 x 12
10u 63V MKT x 6
220u 63V x 3
47u 63V x 3
10000u 63V x 3
270R x 6
47R x 3
1R x 6
3.5R 5W x 3
200R trimmer x 3
220R x 3
12V 10VA transformer
18-0-18V 20VA transformer
Some mistake on the quantities of capacitors, and to have more voltage margin for the SSLV, the transformers also changed:
MUR820 x 12
10u 63V MKT x 3
220u 63V x 3
10000u 63V x 3
270R x 6
47R x 3
1R x 6
3.5R 5W x 3
200R trimmer x 3
220R x 3
15V x 2 15VA transformer
24V x 2 30VA transformer
Please advise me if any error found, I will place order tomorrow.
Before placing those orders you should check the amount of heat you're going to have there I think.
Also are you planning on using the legato long term or the NTD1? The NTD1 has a regulator for the DAC built into the PSU section of its PCB, not sure if you noticed that or not so wanted you to know so that you don't burn money on gear you might not use.
Hi hochopeper
Thanks and appreciated your advice. My initial plan is use NTD1, but the GB for NTD1 won't be happened in the near future, I have no choice and sent another order for the legato. This temporary setup would cost me $250. I haven't order the additional components yet, suggestions are welcome. May be just simply use LT regulator for this temporary setup!
I ordered OPC NTD1 yesterday, so I'll have everything :) .
Ian, I saw your name in the potential buyer list but OPC hasn't confirmed the GB yet.
yes he has, quite clearly over a few posts; just yesterday and today he has confirmed hes putting the order in and he will send the USA + Canada to Pinocchio and the rest to me for us to distribute PCB ONLY.
wow its really strange, its like there is some sort of confusion field that surrounds group buy threads. people with normal comprehension skills suddenly cannot read, they post in the GB thread with their order by copying the list and adding their name, but fail to take note of information contained in other posts before or after theirs; often not even completely reading the first post or the page they post their order on.
for instance even though myself and hochopeper have pretty much filled every second post in the NTD1 thread over the last 4-5 pages with statements saying that I do not intend to supply matched fets to everyone, just a few people and with no commitment and even though nobody else has stepped up to do it, the names pile up with the order for PCB + fets. people only look at the list it seems, ive noticed this phenomenon over the last 4-5 group buys ive been involved in and its really quite staggering. it could almost form the basis of a psychology/human behavior thesis.

Oculus VR has confirmed it has secured a further $75 million in funding which will allow it to bring its 3D virtual reality gaming headset, the Oculus Rift to the masses.
With Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz having helped secure the latest round of investment, the $75 million (£460m) of funding will enable Oculus VR to put the Oculus Rift headset into mass, consumer production.
"Over the past 16 months, we've grown from a start-up to a company whose virtual reality headset is poised to change the way we play, work and communicate," Oculus VR CEO Brenda Iribe said in making the announcement.
"40,000 developers and enthusiasts, as well as a number of great partners, have joined our cause and helped us bring the seemingly impossible to life."
She added: "This additional infusion of capital, as well as the leadership and experience of Marc Andreessen, will help us take the final steps toward our ultimate goal: making virtual reality something consumers everywhere can enjoy."
Having previously raised $16 million in its initial round of funding, the Oculus Rift headset features dual LED displays to bring low-latency images across a wide field of view to create a more immersive gaming experience.
Although having now secured enough capital to bring the Oculus Rift headset to the wider audience, there is currently no official word on when a consumer release of the virtual reality device might be held.
John Carmack, CTO of Oculus VR stated: "The games industry is well past the point where more pixels, texels, flops, and frames displayed on the same fixed screens are really changing the experiences that players get.
"I could say the same about other digital experiences as well. What will revolutionize gaming, and interactive content in general, is putting people inside the digital world. That is our goal at Oculus, and this Series B will help us get there."

|Abstract (eng):
|The University of Catania, founded in 1434, today has 15 museums, which were planned in 1997 and gradually opened over the following decade. The museum of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy, known as the Museo della Fabbrica del Monastero dei Benedettini (Museum of the Benedictine Monastery Building), is housed in a section of the monumental complex of the Benedictine monastery, construction of which began in the sixteenth century. It is home to a small collection of objects which "narrates" the history of the monastery. // The monumental complex accommodates the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy. This building represents, in line with the cultural policy pursued by the faculty illustrated in this paper, the cultural heritage that is to be preserved, exhibited, communicated to and "shared" with the Catanese population. Thanks to this cultural policy of openness towards the public, which was introduced just a few years ago, the Faculty's premises have become a vibrant museum, especially for those people living in the adjacent socially and economically deprived urban area called Antico Corso. The program for this neighborhood consists in the organization of events that aim at museum education and promote forms of social aggregation linking the university museum and the city: seminars on the development of the former Benedictine monastery, guided tours of the monastery for school pupils, exhibitions of their drawings related to these experiences, as well as further cultural events and educational programs. This new cultural policy has received an enthusiastic reaction from the citizens of the Antico Corso, who previously had contested the presence of the academy in the monastery building and had been totally unaware of its high cultural value.

60–63 Weeks: What to Expect From Your Kitten
Four Tips for Humans on Good Feline Etiquette :: A Primer on Feline Leukemia :: Cat-speak Dictionary: Scent Marking :: How to Introduce New Human Family Members
Cat-speak Dictionary: Scent Marking
Scent marking is a vital part of feline communication. It helps to define territory and serves as a way for cats to introduce themselves to one another. Cats do three basic types of scent marking:
Rubbing. Your cat has scent glands on the sides of her forehead, on her chin and lips, and near the base of her tail. When she rubs against your legs, it's not just a sign of affection; she's marking you with her scent and making you familiar again.
Scratching. Your cat also has scent glands beneath her front paws. When she scratches on her scratching post, a tree, or your furniture, she's not just grooming her claws, she's marking territory.
Spraying. Urine spraying is done primarily by un-neutered tomcats. You can tell a cat is spraying if they back up to a vertical surface and squirt small jets of urine, usually while stamping their back feet and jiggling their tail. While rubbing and scratching are very subtle methods of scent marking, the odor of cat spray is unmistakable.
As a general rule, the scents that come from the front of the cat indicate a more calm and relaxed state, whereas the scents from the back of the cat are about territorial marking, dominance, and anxiety. This is why stress can lead to problems with spraying.
Because scent communication is so important to cats, researchers developed a product that helps reduce spraying, fighting, and other signs of stress by mimicking "front of the cat" pheromones. This product, Feliway Comfort Zone, has been on the market for many years and has been successfully used by hundreds, if not thousands, of cat owners. Some vets even use Feliway Comfort Zone in their examining rooms to help decrease their patients' stress levels.

Mulled Wine (or Mulled Cider)
October in the Napa Valley is surreal. The weather is absolutely perfect, the leaves start turning color and it is the height of a season we call CRUSH. Crush usually starts in the end of August and lasts through the middle of October. Wineries have harvest celebrations that last until the early morning, some of them involving age old rituals and blood filled bull horns... but we won'tget into all of that. The valley is teeming with people, tourists, migrant field workers and us locals.
The air is intoxicating, literally. In the morning when you walk outside it smells like you are neck deep in Cabernet Sauvignon and it is AMAZING.
My house smells like that now. Your house could smell like this too; like an October morning in the Napa Valley. Here is how…
Cinnamon Sticks
Star Anise
½ Cup Sugar
1 Orange, Zested and Sliced
1 Inch of Fresh Ginger Sliced
2 Bottles Red Wine or Port
Gather up your spices and slightly crush them. I used about a tablespoon of each and two whole nutmeg.
Zest and Slice an orange. Slice a little fresh ginger.
Pour 2 bottles of red wine, preferably named after one of your favorite people, just to make it extra special. Please feel free to replace the wine with the equivalent of apple cider if you prefer mulled cider.
Turn the heat on low. Add the orange slices, zest, ginger, spices and sugar. Mix just a little and bring to a simmer. Do not let it boil.
Strain out the spices, serve warm and often.
If you would like to give mulling spice as a gift to someone, dry the zest from two oranges and use crystallized ginger in place of fresh.
It makes a completely sweet and seasonal gift with a bottle of wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon smell in the morning? I would love that! Thank you for this recipe. I would use the finest wine I could find just to achieve that scent in the morning!ReplyDelete
Rhiana, thank you for sharing this! I loved the smell of it! My husband did this for our honeymoon, when we checked in at the Gansett Green Manor. He knew how much I love the smell of Cabernet Sauvignon, so before I entered the room, he prepared this and surprised me. The smell is so addicting!ReplyDelete
We'll definitely include Mulled wine in our list for our private party to be held in our garden this coming weekend! I can already imagine how our party would be great, with this drink and a perfect garden setting; our party will be an awesome one!ReplyDelete

The tournament will feature 13 dates in 13 cities, beginning with a doubleheader at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., on July 3 and concluding with the championship match on July 26 at Giants Stadium.
"By expanding the Gold Cup to 13 venues, it will give fans more opportunity to experience the championship in person," said CONCACAF President Jack Warner.
The Gold Cup will make its first appearance in four cities: Columbus, Ohio, Phoenix (suburban Glendale), Philadelphia and (surprisingly) Washington, D.C.
A Gold Cup quarterfinal will be the first sporting event to be played at the New Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
Each venue will host one doubleheader except for the final at Giants Stadium.
"While 13 cities create logistical challenges, we think the benefits of reaching out to more venues are clearly worthwhile," CONCACAF General Secretary Chuck Blazer said. "The ability of so many people to see national teams play we feel is well worth the effort."
The quarterfinals set for Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia (July 18) and Dallas (July 19), and the semifinals at Soldier Field in Chicago (July 23).
Games will be played on modern synthetic surfaces in four stadiums: Qwest Field, FIU Stadium, Gillette Stadium and the New Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Grass will be laid over the existing surface for the final in Giants Stadium.
RECORD LENGTH. The tournament will extend a record 23 days. There are no games between the end of first-round play on the weekend of July 11-12 and the quarterfinals on July 18-19.
The tournament will use the same format as in 2005 and 2007, with the 12-team field divided into three, four-team groups. The top two teams from each group will advance to the quarterfinals along with the two best third-place teams.
The three first-round groups for the qualifiers: Canada, Mexico and the two-time defending champion USA from the North Zone; Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador and first-time entrant Nicaragua from Central America; and Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Haiti and Grenada, the other first-time participant, from the Caribbean. The schedule will be announced at a later time.
First Round
3 July - The Home Depot Center (Carson, Calif.)
4 July - Qwest Field (Seattle)
5 July - Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (Oakland, Calif.)
7 July - Crew Stadium (Columbus, Ohio)
8 July - RFK Stadium (Washington)
9 July - Reliant Stadium (Houston)
10 July - Florida International University Stadium (Miami)
11 July - Gillette Stadium (Foxboro, Mass.)
12 July - University of Phoenix Stadium (Glendale, Ariz.)
18 July - Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia)
19 July - Dallas Cowboys New Stadium (Arlington, Texas)
23 July - Soldier Field (Chicago)
26 July - Giants Stadium (New York)

Lens reviews: Some thoughts.
On reading recent posts concerning DP's new lens reviews; I'm wondering if it is necessary to apply any kind of endorsement; be it "Recommended", "Highly", "Just' or otherwise.
To me; testing procedures that DP has used in evaluating cameras has been extensive, thorough and most important consistent.
Any camera that I have purchased or have recommended to friends or family in the past five years have all been based, in part, on DP reviews. My KM7D was "Highly Recommended" as was my A700. If both cameras were reviewed at the same time would they receive similar scores?
The rapid rate of change in DSLR technology has taken my KM7D body from $1700 to $700 on the used market in a few short years. The A700 will no doubt suffer the same fate. Lenses are however a different kettle of fish.
Lens choices come down to mainly resolution, speed and price once the mount has been established.
DP:s reviews thus far of Kit lenses have been quite balanced and , thorough. What happens when they start reviewing really high-end glass? How dose the consumer decide between the "Highly Recommended"
$300 or $2000 lenses apart from price of course?
I would think that the most difficult aspect of any lens review would be the choice of body to run the test with.
I became interested in this issue based on the following thread. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1000&message=27177663
So I ask is making a recommendation necessary at all?

horn for Faital Pro HF200
anybody has any experience about HF200 and proper horn in a 2-way? could any of the Autotech horns be good for such an application?
No personal experience, but I've noticed that Bob Crites' Cornscala speakers seem to please a lot of users, and he uses the HF200 in his D version - see: Cornscala Style D | Critesspeakers.com

Obturated neck diameter seems about correct
Sized neck diameter seems about correct (0.366 = 0.338 + 2*0.015 -0.002)
Force required: how was the case(s) lubed before sizing? All the way up to the neck? Inside the neck? I would expect the force on the lever arm to be close to 2X that of a 308 case during resizing, maybe a bit more. But check the inside of the die near the neck for any burrs. Also a drop of oil on the lever bearings and ram helps.

|My partner and I recently attempted the "Left Side" route on Mt. Alice (5.10a). The first 3 pitches were really great, with sustained, well protected climbing on excellent rock. BTW, the 1st pitch is several feet longer than a full 50m rope to get to the good ledge at the base of the 2nd pitch flake, so bring a 60m rope or be prepared to simul-climb a bit.The 4th pitch was an issue for us. I led may be 2/3rds of the way up that pitch but found very little protection in the second 3rd. I eventually found myself about 30 ft up and 15 ft right from my last good piece, looking at a fairly tricky 5.10ish move with very bad fall potential. I ended up deciding to back off, but had to be lowered about 30 ft on a green alien with only 2 of 4 cams touching the rock before I could get a good rap nut in... a sobering experience. Unless I missed something (I looked at every option I could think of, and am pretty sure I was on the route shown in the RMNP The High Peaks guidebook), I think that pitch should be rated R, especially considering that the route is 8+ miles from the nearest trailhead, and there is usually nobody else in that basin. I also suspect I am not the only one to have had trouble with that pitch as I saw a few rap anchors around and near the base of it (one of which a single 1/4" button bolt with slings, off to the left of the climb, about 1/2 way up the pitch...)If anyone knows something about a better way to do that pitch I'd be very interested in hearing their comments. Also, I am wondering what the next pitch is like.Other than that, the East face of Mount Alice is definitely a beautiful looking piece of rock and the basin at the base an enchanting place to be.Eric.

|In July 2001 we did the Left Side route. I agree with AC's post: the fourth pitch was total sketch. Luckily, it was my partner's lead--he did a great job toughing it out through some dangerous terrain. It was pretty scary just to watch. Following I figured it was harder than 10a--probably mid to upper 5.10. The line is not what I would call obvious, but I do think it was the line indicated in the guidebook and probably the easiest route up that section of the steep face. Once that pitch was dispatched with, there was one more pitch of 5.10 and then it was straightforward to connect with the Ramp route. Overall, it is a nice foray onto the steep face to the right of the ramp, but the rock is not the best and the line is not that aesthetic. Anything more direct will be much harder, though!

|I also found pitch 4 to be poorly protected. I remember getting some brass and small cams in, had to do some tricky pinches, etc. a ways above them. Also, it's a little bit hard to tell if you are actually climbing the route the easiest way. I would give P4 an R & maybe solid 10. I thought it was an OK climb by Park standards.

Moved this year to the strong side and playing under a new defensive coordinator (Ted Roof), Hodges has been given the freedom to roam, and he has taken full advantage. Sometimes he's in coverage. Sometimes he blitzes. Frequently he shows up in the run game.
He has 30 tackles through the Nittany Lions' first four games, the 10th-highest total in the Big Ten, and figures to again be a key figure Saturday, when PSU (2-2) opens conference play at Illinois (2-2).
He said his new position required him to make a big adjustment. But it is one he appears to have made.
And now, he said during a conference call with reporters earlier this week, I like it a lot. It gives me more flexibility to roam around. It allows me to disguise certain defenses, certain coverages. Teams don't know whether I'm coming (on a blitz) or not. It allows me to create plays for my teammates and myself.
He and the other outside 'backer, Michael Mauti, have developed what Hodges called a natural competition on the field -- a competition to play a little bit better and help the team out. If one makes a play, the other wants to do the same.
The result is that Mauti has 42 tackles, second-most in the Big Ten. And while many of the defense's numbers are not impressive -- Penn State is ninth in the conference in total defense (355.5 yards per game), ninth against the run (143.8) and eighth against the pass (211.8) -- the silver lining is that the defenders have allowed the third-fewest points (15.2). And they have yet to allow a first-half touchdown this season.
If Hodges' versatility has helped them to do that, let the record show that his role is much more well-defined than it was in the season opener against Ohio, when new coach Bill O'Brien employed him as a return man on kickoffs and punts -- with disastrous results. Hodges fumbled a second-quarter punt deep in his own territory, leading to a gimme field goal for the Bobcats, who went on to a 24-14 victory.
He hasn't returned kicks since.
That wasn't my decision (to be used in that role); it was the coaches' decision, he said. But I don't think I'll be doing that anymore.
Everything else is in play. He particularly likes coverage; whenever a receiver comes over the middle, he said, My eyes light up. But he doesn't appear to have many weak spots, something the pro scouts have probably noticed by now.
And they're around all the time; O'Brien lets them come to practice whenever they want. But Hodges claims that it has no impact on him.
You shouldn't need the scouts to practice, Hodges said. It's not about the scouts being there, watching. You don't know if they're watching you or not. I'm out there, and I'm out there to practice. I'm there to work on what I need to work on for each week's game.
This week he is readying himself for an Illinois offense that has had its struggles. The Fighting Illini are ninth in the Big Ten in passing offense (201.0), 10th in rushing offense (144.8) and 11th overall (345.8). They alternate two quarterbacks -- Ryan O'Toole is the superior passer, while Nathan Scheelhaase is the better runner -- and have seen freshman running back Josh Ferguson emerge as a dual threat.
Ferguson leads the Illini in rushing (166 yards, 5.2 a pop) and is third in receiving (14-106). Their leading receiver is Ryan Lankford (16-243, 4 TDs), son of former Penn State defensive back Paul Lankford.
We've just got to get mentally and physically prepared for a nice battle, Hodges said.
A great deal has changed since these two teams met last Oct. 29. The Lions won that one in the snow, 10-7, on a late touchdown by Silas Redd (remember him?). And it was a victory that remained in doubt until a last-second Illini field goal attempt glanced off the right upright.
That was Joe Paterno's 409th victory. It was also his last. It has also since been vacated, by order of the NCAA.
The Lions are in the process of starting over. Hodges, too. And in his case, at least, that hasn't been all bad -- with one notable exception.

Need new brakes pads rotors
I need all new pads and rotors. Does anyone have a link to the stock ones on the wk ? Also should I just go with stock again or see if there's another option in the same price range that makes sense to go with. Thanks in advance !
Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
Stock are costly and at best mediocre quality. You can order quality brakes at a good price from www.Tirerack.com and they deliver to your door.
Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
Check out Wagner Thermo-quiets for pads. I just recently upgraded to these. I have better braking overall and literally no brake dust.
Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
See this thread: http://www.jeepgarage.org/f185/best-brake-pads-for-my-wk-43496.html
Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
check out r1concepts in the vendors forums
Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
I have nice rotors from R1 Concepts that I got about a year ago and coupled it with Thermo-Quiet pads. Not only do I barely have any brake dust but the stopping power is unmatched. I love them.
I will never own another car without thermo-quiets (once the time comes to replace those suckers, that is).
How much are the R1 pads rotors gunna run me ?
Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
It really depends on your driving style and budget. If you want maximum stopping power, go with semi-metallics and cross drilled rotors. My road racer has agressive mettalic pads with blank cryo treated rotors but the pads need to get warm before they bite, and the wheels get dirty quickly. Avoid all slotted rotors, as they will only eat brake pads quickly, with no proven benefit to stopping power. HIgh quality Ceramics and blank rotors are great for use on a Jeep and are what I went with. I never hit the brakes hard with the WK, as mpg is bad enough already. My OEM front pads still had plenty of life at 75k, but I changed them out when the rears were worn.

Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
"The Effect of Rotor Crossdrilling on Brake Performance" by two GM engineers published in 2006. They examined three vehicle platforms with cross-drilled rotors vs standard rotors to measure convection cooling capability, fade characteristics, wet braking, pedal feel and lining wear. The result is summarized as follows:
For the sports sedan, the coefficient of friction was 21% higher for drilled rotors than standard front rotors at 340F and higher using 15 brake snubs at 62mph. The track simulated 124 mph fade test showed 37% better brake output for drilled rotors. The drilled rotor brake temperature was about 150 degrees cooler.
For the performance car, the coefficient of friction was significantly higher for drilled rotors especially at high temperature.
Wet braking at high pedal pressure was the same for drilled or standard rotors. Wet braking is not significantly improved by drilled rotors.
Pedal force was much more consistent with drilled rotors over the brake temperature range. That is, to stop at the same deceleration rate, the driver does not need to modulate pedal pressure based on different brake temperatures. This reduces driver fatigue and improves brake response.
The authors also reported that drilled rotors prevent pad resin glazing on the rotor. So we now have solid evidence that drilled rotors have benefits over standard rotors. They then reviewed inertial dynamometer tests using ISO NWI 26867 from Link Testing in Detroit with slotted rotors vs standard rotors. The results showed no significant difference in the coefficient of friction during the fade sections, hot stop section or pedal sensitivity portion of the test. Their hypothesis is that slotted rotors do not contribute to rotor cooling whereas drilled rotors improve convection heat transfer to cool rotors and reduce brake fade. It should also be pointed out that the pad lining wear for the slotted rotor was very severe during the test, i.e. the pad was chewed up over 20% more than the lining with stock rotors. While slots will help remove gas and debri from under the pad, this has no significant effect on brake torque for normal street driving. Perhaps the effect of slotted rotors is more significant on the race track, and conversely, I believe that drilled rotors are better for street and highway driving. For most drivers, drilled rotors are recommended over slotted rotors, and this conclusion is supported by the fact that Corvette, Ford GT, Porsche, Mercedes and BMW come with OEM drilled rotors.
Re: Need new brakes pads rotors
Personally, I'd stick with high quality blank rotors (no slots, no drilling).
High-end sports cars will go with drilled rotors to improve heat dissapation...of course, they also need to be able to break from 180MPH and have much larger breaking surfaces with typically massive 14" rotors. The size of the rotor matters since they do not loose a substantial sweep area of the rotor to the drilling/slotting process. Smaller rotor = greater proportion of sweep area that is removed by drilling = less sweep area available for breaking.
At the speeds I can resonably assume you are going to hit in your Jeep, I don't think performance wise you are going to see a huge benefit over traditional quality ceramic pads and blank rotors. When was the last time your Jeep's rotors were glowing red with heat?
If you like the look of cross-drilled/slotted rotors, that's a different story with a much simpler answer - go with the one that you like the looks of :cool:
Just my opinion on this one - I have driven both in "normal" driving conditions and wouldn't be able to tell which was which if I didn't know how much I spent on the brake job...

We too are huge football fans. At our football and family parties there are always a ton of kids running around and they aren't watching any of the game. Is your son the only kid there? That seems weird that the other family members wouldn't bring their kids too. What about the other wives? There are a few people (not just wives) in our family who don't like football but they still love the get togethers.
Secondly I just don't think some crappy crackers are worth the uproar. I agree with the pp though and would never think twice with a parent bringing specific food for their toddler. I would assume the kid was picky and not give it another thought.
And Costco food is fine. And there is no "type" who loves football and I'd probably keep the "low rent" stuff to myself as well. Be careful there-those kinds of comments just sound really nitpicky and like you think his family is lowbrow or culturally deficient.
Finally I have never been a fan of one parent laying down a no live TV in the house policy if the other parent isn't on board. I kind of think that sucks that one person gets to decide the viewing habits of the other adult. Sounds like your DH really likes football and frankly he should be able to watch football at home. If you feel that football is that huge a corrupting influence then maybe you and your son can go to the library or do something out of the house and let your dh have a couple of hours.
You are certainly not obligated to go every weekend and it is only for two more weeks anyways.
I don't think you can prevent your son from getting into sports. I mean, he will know they exist as he gets older, and he will either get into them or not. Plenty of people that grow up in sports centered households don't get into sports and vice versa. Also, for a lot of people, watching a sporting event is a shared cultural experience. Like you always remember what you were doing when you saw that really big play that saved your team, or that call that took them out of the game, or whatever.
DS is 2.5 and we have a no live TV policy in our house which to be frank I need to uphold on a regular basis. (DH just seems drawn to the remote) DS watches approved DVDs...which I OK and which contain NO commericals which is a big part of my refusal to allow live TV.
|DH is no healp becasue an afternoon of junk food and football and his family is his own personal heaven.
So I don't know what to do. I understand the importance of family time but I just HATE football because I think it's more than a sport, it's like a whole culture, one I want nothign to do with and I really don't want DS watching it. I was OK with the superbowl because it was once a year but every weekend? DH is no healp becasue an afternoon of junk food and football and his family is his own personal heaven.
Not sure how to compromise here.
OP here
Yes, DS is the only child there. My MIL's other grandkids are all over 17 so it's kind of him plus a bunch of adults yelling at a TV, which he also doesn't understand and sometimes gets upset thinking everyone is mad.
The problem with NOT going is that as I said we are a very close family and any abscence is well, kind of frowned upon. If you are familiar with big italian families, then you'd understand. When MIL calls a party- you go.
And DH's family is VERY mainstream and really struggles I think to understand why we eat the way we eat. (which DH is fully supportive and appreciates99% of the time...it's just I guess his Mom, so he wants to eat and make her happy)
Anyway, thanks for all the opinions. Just feel a little stuck doing something I really don't want to expose DS to.
My advice is the same though--it's important to make an appearance at some of these events, but I really think every week is too much. Maybe every other week, maybe once a month, whatver works. If your MIL can't understand that then she's being inflexible.
but everything has pros and cons
At the same time, being flexible is important. I think raising your son without junk food and football is pretty much a lost cause because of the person you made a baby with. You can minimize it now while he is very young, but the reality is that in a few years (or a decade) he'll most likely be in there screaming with his dad (sorry of the bad news).
(I don't know why it is that so many of us fall in love with a person, have a child with them, and then do everything in our power to keep the child from becoming like their other parent. )
There is a middle ground.

About Me
Hey MM! My name is Angie, I was born in Taiwan, I lived there for 10 years so I'm fluent in mandarin.
I'm full, 100% Chinese!! And I've got Asian pride. It's hard to be pure these day
I love photography, I love creative design and I want to meet more people who share my interests! I think it's just simply amazing that you can express an emotion without saying a word. I've been acting and modeling off and on for the past 5 years maybe?....
I co-own a company with my partner. I know I am young, but this is a passion, you can't set an age to start for passion. You dip your toe in, and feel that nice water, you just gotta jump in!
Wanna know more? Just message me! email@example.com
*I don't do nudes. Period.*
