After years of telling us to eat our veggies and go for a jog, suddenly science is demanding that we have a glass of wine.
But this changed when, on a jog, his daughter suggested he write a book about a girl who changes the world.
If you absolutely must jog your memory on all the details, you can check out handy FAQ from the spring.
It begins with forgetting lines in lectures and losing track of where she is on a jog, and gets worse.
Two more hours took us to Limone, at a jog trot, down a zigzag road, less abrupt in its turns than that on the other side.
And if you can spare me a couple of hands, I could jog along in company with you indefinitely.
They jog along slowly as men who are heavy footed with disappointment.
When it sticks anywhere, you'll have to try to give it a jog.
I'd nothing much better to do, and Dolly was cracking up this new parson of yours, so I thought I'd jog over and sample him.
1540s, "to shake up and down," perhaps altered from Middle English shoggen "to shake, jolt, move with a jerk" (late 14c.), of uncertain origin. Meanings "shake," "stir up by hint or push," and "walk or ride with a jolting pace" are from 16c. The main modern sense in reference to running as training mostly dates from 1948; at first a regimen for athletes, it became a popular fad c.1967. Perhaps this sense is extended from its use in horsemanship.
Jogging. The act of exercising, or working a horse to keep him in condition, or to prepare him for a race. There is no development in jogging, and it is wholly a preliminary exercise to bring the muscular organization to the point of sustained, determined action. [Samuel L. Boardman, "Handbook of the Turf," New York, 1910]Related: Jogged; jogging. As a noun from 1610s.
To annoy; bother (1970s+ Teenagers)

Rogelio Agrasánchez, Jr. of Harlingen, Texas is a collector of Mexican movie materials and an expert on vintage
It was his father, Rogelio Agrasánchez, Sr., who introduced Agrasánchez, Jr. to the world of
Agrasánchez, Jr. began collecting Mexican movie memorabilia while working on his Ph.D. in Latin American Studies, when he received a set of old Mexican movie posters from his younger brother Julio, an actor in several of the wrestler films produced by his father. As his brother brought him more posters the collection grew, and he decided to search for film publicity materials on his own. Agrasánchez, Jr. traveled to Mexico City to view the poster collection at the Cineteca Nacional (national film archive). He discovered that a 1982 fire had destroyed many of the materials there, and what was left was uncatalogued. While there Agrasánchez, Jr. spoke with the few poster artists who were still living, and they explained some of the design and production process to him. He also visited the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City and in their vault found piles of materials that had been sent there when Azteca Films closed their U.S. offices. He was told he could take what he wanted of the posters, lobby cards, stills, and scripts, thus adding to his growing
While at U.T. Rogelio Agrasánchez, Jr. also met Charles Ramírez Berg, a professor in the Department of Radio, Television, and Film, who was looking for material for his course on the history of Mexican cinema. Ramírez Bergpersuaded Agrasánchez, Jr. to turn his poster art collection into an archive, and the pair collaborated on two books showcasing hundreds of images of select samples of the

The bulk of the Agrasánchez Collection of Mexican Cinema consists of 400 movie posters, approximately 2,400 lobby cards, and approximately 8,000 still photographs of
The materials in the collection represent a wide variety of genres and dates in the history of Mexican cinema. The film titles vary from format to format (posters, lobby cards, stills, VHS videos), although many of the titles can be found in more than one category. For example, there are still photographs and the VHS movie for
The Posters, found in series one of the collection, each measure roughly 37 inches tall by 27 inches wide and are housed in flat files, five posters per file. The poster designs range from simple with cartoons and drawings to more elaborate with multiple photographs. Some of the posters are printed on fragile, newprint-type paper, and some are on slick, glossy paper. Most of the posters list actors' and directors' names, as well as production company information.
The second series consists of Lobby Cards, so called because they were made to be hung in theatre lobbies. There are about eight lobby cards per film title. They contain identically printed designs and promotional information, with each card displaying a different still photograph from the movie. The lobby cards measure 11 inches tall by 14 inches wide.
Stills, series three, are grouped in folders by film title, usually twelve or fewer stills per film. The stills are 8 by 10 inch black and white photographs showing various scenes and characters from the films.
The fourth series, Various Materials, contains a folder of flyers called "Press Sheet" distributed by Azteca Films, Inc. and a folder of flyers called "Box Offic Tonic/Refuerce su taquilla" distributed by Clasa-Mohme, Inc. films. Both of these sets of flyers are printed in English and Spanish with promotional information and copies of photos meant to advertise individual films. Also in Various Materials is a folder of broadside-size posters printed and distributed by Azteca Films, Inc.
There are also 103 Mexican Movies which Rogelio Agrasánchez, Jr. donated to the Benson Latin American Collection at the time when his collection was acquired. Many of these movies are considered classics of Mexican cinema. These VHS videos have been cataloged and can be found by searching the University of Texas Libraries online catalog (UTNetCat) by the film's title.

The anti skid system is part of the abs system. The abs module needs to be scanned for the fault codes to get a general idea then the fault code will have to be diagnosed.
the anti skid system is disabled as long as the light is on.the ant skid system is a safety feature and very helpful to have on wet and snow cover pavement
Do you know the cost for this procedure?
The only cost I can advise you on is the 1 hour diagnostic charge that a dealer or an independent shop will charge to figure out the problem at an average of $90

(CNSNews.com) - Americans United for the Separation of Church and State is threatening a possible legal challenge if South Carolina's governor signs into law a measure that will add a Christian license plate to the state's lengthy list of specialty tags.
The plate includes the words "I Believe" and shows a cross superimposed over a picture of a stained-glass window. It won overwhelming approval from the South Carolina Legislature last week.
In an interview with Cybercast News Service, the strict-separationist group said the plate gives Christians special treatment over other religious sects.
"The Legislature is clearly favoring Christianity over other faiths, and that violates the separation of church and state and basic fairness," said Americans United spokesman Joe Conn. "Under our Constitution, government must never favor one religion over others."
South Carolina already offers over 100 specialty tags for automobiles, including one that says "In God We Trust" and the pro-life license plate, "Choose Life S.C." Four years ago, a different pro-life specialty tag was struck down as unconstitutional by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Conn predicts the same fate for the new Christian plate, should South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford sign the bill into law.
"I hope the governor vetoes the bill," Conn said. "If he doesn't, I think there is a reasonable chance that a lawsuit will be filed challenging the new plate."
Though sponsored by a Republican senator in a GOP-dominated legislature, the bill enjoyed widespread support among Democrats, especially in the House, where it passed unanimously.
"In my opinion, it's not the state promoting religion. It's allowing the expression of your religion," said state Rep. Lester Branham (D-Lake City).
Supporters like Branham say nothing in the bill prohibits other religions from seeking their own plates, though Americans United remains skeptical.
"South Carolinians can already put a fish sticker on our vehicle bumpers if they want to; they don't need the Legislature issuing a special license plate," said Conn.
The measure awaits the governor's signature -- or veto.
"The bill has reached Gov. Sanford's desk and we are reviewing it," Joel Sawyer, Sanford's press secretary, told Cybercast News Service .
"We have no problem with the content of the tag, but [we] are studying the bill to see if it conforms with the current state process of making tags available to those nonprofit groups who request them."

Pinson AL (SPX) Sep 24, 2004
I was disturbed by the anti-Heavy Lift sentiment expressed by Don Robertson in the Sept. 20 issue ("No Need for New Launchers Now "). He could not be more wrong. The key to lower launch costs is not launch frequency, but delivery in bulk. We do not see motorboats crossing the Atlantic with goods, but very large containerships plying the waves.
The EELVs cannot in fact lift over one-fifth of the Saturn V's 130-140 tons to LEO. The EELV is an albatross- no better than the near-extinct Titan IV it replaces. The critics of ISS forget that the big reason behind the constant delay of ISS is the fact that it is assembled 20 tons at a time.
A modular HLLV, like Energiya, that had the hydrogen engines under the External Tank (ET), could carry a simple Buran-type orbiter, or swap it out with 100 ton payload pods. Five of those and ISS would have been finished years ago.
The critics of HLLVs also don't seem to understand the term 'margin.' It would take five three-core Delta IV 'heavies'- with one RS-68 hydrogen engine per core- to place 100 tons to LEO in five launches of 20 tons each.
This means you would have to throw 15 RS-68 engines away. I can place 100 tons into orbit, expending only three or four RS-68s mounted under our External Tank in an Energiya type system, that has engine-out capability- unlike the EELVs.
If one of an HLLV's hydrogen engines go out, I can burn the others longer. This cannot be done with the Delta IV. The RS-68- a good engine- now has had trouble with turbopumps before, so some engine-out capability should be mandatory.
The Delta IV has been taken out of the commercial launch market, and Boeing's largest commercial rocket is now the Sea Launch booster, Zenit - which started life as the Energiya HLLV liquid-fueled strap-on booster. The two-nozzle version of the four nozzle Zenit (RD-170) engines is the RD-180, used by Lockheed-Martin's Atlas V EELV.
Both Boeing and Lockheed-Martin now must rely on technology that was developed for Heavy Lift in the first place, which makes their attempt to fight Heavy-Lift development all the more sickening to those of us who watched as these two companies put off rocket development in favor of Stealth systems and $200 billion Joint Strike Fighters - neither of which can deflect asteroids, or disable ICBMs.
If it wasn't for Heavy-Lift, Boeing and Lockheed-Martin would not now have their two biggest commercial launchers.
Now the two companies rely on Russian equipment. They still don't get it. What we really need is all-American technology with Russian philosophy. All American RS-68s from Boeing can be placed under Lockheed-Martin's External Tank giving us Heavy Lifters with engine out capability and no reliance on other countries.
The Russian philosophy is what we must adapt - they understood that 'too much truck is better than not enough.' Remember, their R-7 Sputnik launcher was considered overlarge, and yet it and the bigger Proton have become their best sellers.
By the time we completed our EELVs they could carry no more than these other Russian launch vehicles which had glutted the market, leaving the EELVs too little - too late. Now the Aerospace companies are left the EELV Albatross they now wish to hang on our necks.
The EELVs would continue the failed 'build it twenty-tons-at-a-time-and-they-will-come' mindset that left us with the ISS. This philosophy is even worse when it comes to exploration since hydrogen boil off will be even more of a problem when you adopt the pieces/parts.
If we want large production runs, then get the most bang for your buck. Using the Delta IV approach, you must expend 15 RS-68s to get 100 tons to orbit.
By launching five HLLVs with only three RS-68s apiece, you sell your 15 RS-68s but you have 500 tons in orbit in the same amount of time. Real Space commerce will only be successful if done in large scale - not by dropping ME-163 Komets out from under Learjets.
The Titan IV often cost a billion dollars a shot. An HLLV should be no more than this. But remember, that equates to $200 million for every 20 tons of HLLV payload - putting it at least even with EELV costs, that are likely to exceed $250 million for every 20 tons or so- with no engine out capability.
But the real cost of medium lift is higher, since you will need five upper stages for every 100 tons placed into orbit, by five EELVs, as opposed to having just one engine-equipped External Tank delivering the entire load to space- retaining a large empty shuttle External Tank that, like Skylab, gives industry real floor space.
Gene Meyers of Space Island Group understands that much at least, and sees the industrial potential only large scale can bring.
The money saved by ending JSF and the Discovery Programs could field an HLLV in only a few years with much more capability.
Or we can continue to send puny bomb-disposal robots to Mars and risk the lives of EELV-riding astronauts docking and refueling fifty-eleven times just to get to the moon, while the Russians continue to make money off us, because they had the good sense to build rockets big in the first place.

Woodstock revisited
Well, January was hijacked by the flu, so I have been silent. I really didn't think a flu could be as bad as it was. I kept hoping it would be over in a couple of days, but oh, no. It's a sneaky little virus that keeps returning for impromptu visits when you think you're finally rid of it. But rid of it I now am, in Los Angeles too, and enjoying the sunny weather.
Now for my news. Knitters have been emailing me to ask when South Seas Knitting will be back in business. I'm sorry to say that it's not going to be returning. David and I have made the decision to return to live in California for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is our kids and David's Mum. We want to spend more time with them. Los Angeles will be our home once again.
What am I going to do with my incredibly large stash of yarn? I do have a plan. I'll keep you posted as soon as I settle in here.
For now, I'd like to share with you another beautiful place in Woodstock. We love that town and found ourselves heading back there after a snow storm.
This cottage was just across the road and down a bit from the last one and every bit as charming. We met the delightful owners Phil and Sarah, an English couple, in Brooklyn.
I'll start with the outdoors:
Phil and Sarah's place (which you can find here and here) is called Bearsville Retreat. It's two small houses with a gorgeous swimming pool which we didn't see because it was covered in snow!
It's next to a family farm where they sell their own fresh maple syrup tapped from trees on the property, and where the owner rebuilt board by board the red barn that his thrifty father had taken down and stored.
a snowbound scottie
and a real dog, Rosie
bothering chipmunks under the house
from one apple tree to another……do you see why I want to return in spring?
to sit in this glider
or read Mrs Dalloway while sipping iced tea?
Stepping inside we took off our brand new sorels.
everything I love: color, crockery, hand made things
and a clean, well-equipped kitchen
We loved this place and I really do want to return in spring to swing in the hammock under the apple blossoms.
We said our goodbyes to Phil and Sarah
and they to us
Driving back to Brooklyn, David decided to take the New Jersey route which involved crossing Manhattan. By the way, the Apple navigation app works great. Ours has an Aussie accent because Davids' phone was bought in NZ, so we call her Sheila and she guided us with 100% accuracy from start to finish with no annoying bells or "recalculating route" delays. She just gets on with the job and doesn't make a fuss, a typical Down Under kind of a gal.
Crossing Manhattan, past the Chrysler building!
across the 59th Street bridge…….feelin' groovy to be almost home
and what a view. I'm a nervous nelly in the passenger seat, but I sure was glad David was driving on this gorgeous day.

IOWA CITY — It wasn't quite what you'd call a signature moment for Jordan Lynch.
It's debatable how much Saturday's 30-27 victory over Iowa really helped the Northern Illinois quarterback in his quest to become the first player since 1990 from a non-BCS conference to win the Heisman Trophy.
But it certainly didn't hurt.
Lynch was held to his second-lowest single-game rushing total since he became the Huskies' starting QB (56 yards), but he had the third highest passing total of his career (275 yards) and engineered a victory on the road against a Big Ten opponent.
The 331 yards of offense isn't much short of his 2012 season average of 354, and Lynch did hit Da'Ron Brown with a perfectly thrown 33-yard touchdown strike to tie the game with 5:05 remaining. When the Huskies pulled out the victory in the final minutes, Lynch was more of a facilitator than a hero.
Still, a victory over a Big Ten team will look pretty good on his Heisman resumè.
And while the game may not have done a great deal to help Lynch win the big trophy, it may have edged him closer to having a future as an NFL quarterback.
Until now, many of assumed that when Lynch got to the professional level, he was likely to be cast as a running back or a safety. Those 1,815 rushing yards he compiled last season were much more striking than his 3,138 passing yards.
He seemed to be a bulkier Eric Crouch or perhaps a shorter Tim Tebow. A superb athlete and a winner, but probably not adept enough as a pure passer to play QB at a higher level.
On Saturday at Kinnick Stadium, he turned some heads.
Of the 41 passes Lynch attempted against Iowa, 25 were completed and you didn't need more than one hand's worth of fingers to count the number of passes that weren't catchable. With better receivers, he might have had 30 or more completions.
He clearly is much improved over a year ago when he opened the season by throwing for just 54 yards against the Hawkeyes at Soldier Field.
That's not just one observer's opinion.
"I thought he was a lot better this year,'' Iowa linebacker James Morris said. "We saw that on film that he improved a lot as the year went on last year.
"He's a great player,'' Morris added. "He does things the right way. He's certainly somebody you would want on your team.''
You get the feeling some NFL club will feel that way next fall.
As for the Heisman? Lynch is still a longshot.
To even have a chance, he probably needs about 5,000 yards of total offense and an undefeated regular season.
He didn't miss doing that by much last fall. He amassed 4,953 yards and lost just one game in the regular season, by a single point to Iowa. The only other blemish on the Huskies' record was a loss to Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
That was enough to land Lynch in seventh place in the Heisman balloting after starting the season completely off the radar for the award.
People know who he is now. If he just duplicates what he did a year ago, he has a chance.

Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - A coalition of pro-life Christian groups Tuesday challenged the premise that human beings have the right to a minimum "quality of life" and can choose to end their lives when that standard is not achieved. The announcement came one day before the family of Terri Schindler Schiavo was to go back to court to have her husband, Michael Schiavo - who is actively seeking to end the disabled woman's life - removed as her guardian.
George Felos, one of Michael Schiavo's attorneys, told NBC's Today show on Oct. 22 that not allowing Schiavo to end his wife's life was "an absolute trampling of [Terri's] personal rights and, and her dignity.
"It's already been determined by the court she has the right to refuse artificial feeding, which she did," Felos said, repeating Michael Schiavo's widely disputed claim.
The author of Litigation as Spiritual Practice complained that Terri had been "abducted from her deathbed" and that the Florida legislature had unconstitutionally given Gov. Jeb Bush (R) "the power to just override a patient's medical treatment choices" when it passed "Terri's Law." Bush ordered Terri's nutrition and hydration resumed against Schiavo's wishes almost immediately after the proposal became law.
"Instead of allowing her a peaceful, painless death in a short period of time," Felos complained, "this act, in fact, may have prolonged her death, and she may be under significant physical distress and an extended death process."
Felos, a noted advocate of the so-called "right to die," won the Florida Supreme Court case that granted competent adults in the state the right to issue a written "advanced directive" declaring the conditions under which life-prolonging medical care should be terminated if they are unable to communicate their wishes at the time due to illness or injury. Terri had no such advanced directive.
Whether or not Terri - who suffered a brain injury in 1990 under questionable circumstances while at home alone with her husband - verbally expressed a desire not to be kept alive by a feeding tube is still a point of great contention.
Schiavo, his brother and another brother's wife claim Terri made comments to that effect to them. None of Terri's biological family, friends, co-workers or fellow parishioners has come forward to support the claim, which conflicts with Terri's expressed Catholic faith.
So-called "right-to-die" groups, such as "End of Life Choices" (formerly known as the Hemlock Society), believe that "depriving someone of choice and dignity in the final chapters of life is morally and ethically wrong.
"[End of Life] Choices advocates that physicians should have the right to help terminally ill patients achieve a peaceful death, if that is the patient's desire, because no government has the right to legislate over death," the group states on its website.
Pro-life group questions Terri's alleged wishes, 'right-to-die' philosophy
But the National Pro-Life Religious Council (NPRC) discounts the underlying premise of the entire "right-to-die" argument.
"It presumes that we are entitled as human beings to a certain 'quality of life,'" said Kirk Vanderswaagh, vice president of the NPRC. "That is a very subjective decision as to what the standard is to judge that by."
The NPRC believes that neither permanent disability nor injury nor serious illness is sufficient grounds to justify intentionally and prematurely ending any human life.
"When that is already embraced, then the next thing that happens is that, as in this case, we have somebody else making that decision for someone," Vanderswaagh said. "The next step after that is [to assume] that it is perfectly alright to take a human life when 'circumstances' call for it."
Vanderswaagh noted that the acceptance of an alleged "right to die" is anathema to the centuries-old concept of valuing all human life.
"The door is open because of the underlying assumption that we are free to destroy our life when we're no longer pleased with its quality, no longer pleased with its direction. That's, historically, always been viewed as something that's tragic," Vanderswaagh said. "When someone wants to commit suicide and can't face the future or doesn't like the way the future looks, that's something that we seek, as a society, historically, to want to go out and rescue somebody from, pull somebody in from the ledge of the building, not say, 'Go for it!'"
Vanderswaagh points to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1857 Dred Scott decision in which the very body charged as the ultimate protector of the rights of all Americans ruled that "Negro slaves" were not human beings, but rather, property. The group recalls another example, the murder of millions of Jews at the hands of Hitler's Nazi regime, as proof that humans cannot be trusted to appropriately decide such questions of humanity.
The NPRC also argues that, because its members believe God is the source of human life, they also believe it is up to God alone to determine when life ends, except in cases of a self-defense use of deadly force.
"Scriptures consistently affirm that we are creatures, not the Creator, that it is God who has made us, not we ourselves," Vanderswaagh said, noting that the "creature" designation applies to the disabled and dying just as much as to the able-bodied and well. "We're still obligated to treat that person with respect as a human being, and the only right impulse for that is to try to preserve life and not destroy it."
Regardless of opinions on 'right to die,' group says it's not an issue for Terri
Father Frank Pavone, president of the NPRC, believes the so-called "right-to-die" and "death-with-dignity" arguments are an irrelevant distraction from the facts of Terri's case. Though significant, Pavone said even the fact that Schiavo is trying to cause Terri's death by dehydration is not the key factor because "that happens routinely.
"Rather," Pavone said in an opinion column released Tuesday, "Terri's case is a test of whether we will wake up and realize that letting patients decide they want to be killed means that some patients will be killed against their will."
Vanderswaagh agreed, questioning why Schiavo still holds guardianship over his wife.
"Here's a man who's involved in a fully adulterous relationship, and somehow, he can still claim the right of 'husband?' I wonder whether Florida state law supports that," Vanderswaagh asked rhetorically. "If he has demonstrated himself to no longer be functioning within those marriage vows, is he still considered [her] husband?
"It's so absurd that he's exercising guardianship as a 'husband,'" Vanderswaagh concluded, "when he's clearly no longer her husband."
Terri's parents agree. Schiavo's adulterous relationship with a woman who has given birth to one child by him and is carrying his second child is listed as one of 50 alleged violations in a petition the Schindler family has filed with the Probate Court of Pinellas County, Florida. The petition seeks to have Schiavo removed as Terri's guardian and to have him replaced either with her father, Robert Schindler, or her sister, Suzanne Schindler Carr.
"Schiavo has demonstrated through repeated and gross failures to comply with the law that he is incapable of discharging the duties of guardian," wrote attorney Patricia Anderson in the petition.
Specific allegations the Schindler family makes against Schiavo in their petition include:
Adultery in violation of Florida law;
Misappropriation of funds awarded by a civil jury for Terri's rehabilitation;
Conflict of interest. The Schindlers believe Schiavo may be trying to end Terri's life to avoid paying alimony that could be awarded if a new guardian successfully petitioned for a divorce on her behalf;
Denial of health care in violation of Florida law;
Failure to meet deadlines for completing guardianship plans as required by Florida law;
Failure to complete annual guardian training as required by Florida law;
Authorizing experimental medial procedures without court approval;
Concealing information from the court; and
Exceeding the specific guardianship authorities granted by the court, also allegedly in violation of Florida law.
Felos instructed CNSNews.com not to contact him for comments on stories regarding Terri in mid-September. He has, however, previously denied any guilt on the part of his client in response to allegations made by the Schindler family.

I had an upper eye surgery 6 years ago. Now, I have the following: -Crease too high -Double creases -Excess skin -Hollowness -Sagging skin on the outer eyes -Ptosis? Would a second surgery fix all the problems above? What complications are there? I would appreciate any feedback.
Second Eyelid Surgery - Would It Fix My Problems?
Doctor Answers 4
Loss of eye definition
There are several issues at play here, Asian eyelid aesthetic, ptosis, and excessive loss of tissue on the upper eyelids. This is a complicated set of issues and requires a plastic/oculoplastic surgeon specializing in these issues. I have addressed such a set of problems both surgically and non surgically. I have used fat injection, hyaluronic acid injections, and surgical repositioning in these types of cases with good results. I depends on your specific anatomy and I would recommend you seek out an expert in your area to find the best option for you, one that fits your budget and goals.
Asymmetric eyelid
There are at least two problems contributing to your assymetry. There is volume deflation (fat loss) from your eyelid (especially left) along with ptosis (left more than right). It is possible to address the ptosis with one surgery and the volume loss with another NONsurgical injection in office later. I recommend a consulation with an oculoplastic surgeon.
Dr Taban
Repeat eyelid surgery
The photos sent with your question do not show enough of your forehead, eye, midface region to answer your complicated questions. You really need to be evaluated in person by a subspecialist. Most cosmetic surgery lasts between 5 and 10 years. However, if there is poor skin tone, then it won't last as well. If you have poor tone of your skin, then the first step would be to improve the quality of your skin by stimulating new collagen formation. There are a number of ways to do this.
For the problem of sagging skin on the outer part of the eyes, this could signal that your forehead is drooping and needs to be lifted. Is your ptosis of the brow or lid? For whichever, they can be addressed and corrected surgically.
My recommendation is to consult with several subspecialists in person so they can see you rproblem(s), and feel the quality of your skin. At that point they can make their recommendations and discuss the pros and cons of each.

It would be worth looking into.
Dear hbact, I certainly would consult several doctors in regard to your complaints. Not seeing your pre-op photos certainly puts me at a disadvantage. I would seek out a plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon who specializes in correction of the Asian eyelid. I don't know of anyone where you are but I would speak to your plastic surgeon or whoever did your surgery and ask for a referral. You might try one of the university hospital settings near you. Good luck.

Just when everyone thought there would be no hope for the New York Giants after starting their season with a scary performance of 0-6, they have won four games in a row, bringing their record to 4-6; officially making them possible competitors for the playoffs.
"I think it was a good job by everybody on the offense," noted Manning. "I think we ran the ball well and they did a good job to stop the run so we did a good job of throwing short passes," said Giant's quarterback, Eli Manning. Although, even with the last four wins, Manning notes, "sometimes bad plays happen," and that, "there is room for improvement."
The Giants are still struggling with some mistakes, but their improved numbers have shown why they're on a winning streak.
"That's the way we started, but we knew then we were going to have a tough challenge getting back into the mix, but the only thing we could do is to start getting one win at a time. We've done that these last four weeks… we've got four in a row and that's a good feeling and we're going to keep fighting, keep getting better, and see if we can keep winning."
One of the things the Giants have been doing right includes running Brandon Jacobs, and it showed in their game against the Packers.
"Brandon had some big runs for us." "Whenever he can come in and give us those tough yards and set that physical tempo, that tone of the game, that's good for us," said Manning about his running back.
But Jacobs was not the only one running. Fans saw Manning running more against Green Bay than they have in quite a while.
"That was probably the longest run of my career and it gets called back. I was trying to cut back and I felt fast there. I'm sure I'll look on film and realize I'm not fast again, noted Manning. "If that's what we need to do, that's what we need to do."
Finally, the Giants' defense has been helping the offense greatly with its performance. Manning notes how well they have been playing, and that the offense and defense "build off each other."
Overall, Manning notes they are beginning to feel like a different team.
"We have to make sure we keep practicing well, make sure our preparation is outstanding. Again, just find ways to win games," noted Manning. "Play smarter football. Obviously, another big game this week, at home, another home game versus Dallas in the division. So, it'll be a big game for us."

Collage is a cross-platform C++ library for building heterogenous, distributed applications. Among other things, it is the cluster backend for the Equalizer parallel rendering framework. It provides an abstraction of different network connections, peer-to-peer messaging, node discovery, synchronization, and high-performance, object-oriented, versioned data distribution. It is designed for low-overhead multi-threaded execution, which allows applications to easily exploit multi-core architectures.
TuxBot is an IRC bot written in Lua. It was created to fit the requirements of the #linux channels on irc.oftc.net and irc.esper.net, but it is also used as a helpful bot in some other, non-Linux channels on other networks. The bot is able to link Linux channels on different networks by relaying messages between them. It is also able to kick flooders and to show the title of HTML pages after someone posted a link in a channel. Furthermore, TuxBot works as a raw multi-network IRC client for the console. There are some other features, such as the ability to extend TuxBot's functionality using a simple module system.
ApplPi is a stochastic noise machine that creates a soothing background noise for those who can't work in complete silence or need to mask distracting noise. It creates sound similar to any noise machine, but it's more musical and harmonic. Additionally, you can control the frequency (note) of the sound and choose from built-in presets of noise/sound.
SQLet allows you to directly execute SQL on multiple text files, right from the Linux commandline. In one single command, you can read in text files (with or without header lines) and perform arbitrary select statements, including joins over several files. SQLet can thus replace awk or grep in some instances.
foo2hbpl is an open source printer driver for printers that use the HBPL version 2 wire protocol for their print data, such as the Dell 1355, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM205, or the Xerox WorkCentre 6015. These printers are often erroneously referred to as winprinters or GDI printers. However, Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an application and the printer driver, not the protocol on the wire between the printer driver and the printer. In fact, HBPL printers are raster printers that happen to use a very efficient wire protocol. HBPL is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as Postscript, PCL, Epson, ZjStream, etc. This driver uses Ghostscript to perform all of the heavy lifting (image processing). There are five major components to the foo2hbpl printer driver: foo2hbpl2 (the page image to protocol conversion engine of the driver); foo2hbpl2-wrapper (a shell script (compatible with foomatic) that runs ghostscript and foo2hbpl in a pipeline); icc2ps (converts an ICM color profile to a Postscript CRD, which is then fed into Ghostscript before the users Postscript program); foomatic-db (foomatic database entries that describe the supported printers and their options so that printer spoolers know how to access the printer using foo2hbpl2-wrapper); and hbpldecode (a tool for developers to inspect HBPL streams).
se is a screen-oriented version of the classic UNIX text editor ed. The editor implements many of the commands of ed, but instead of being line-oriented, se is screen-oriented. The command syntax is very familiar to users who already know ed. If you get stuck, there is a built-in help system that describes many of the available commands. Many configurable options can be loaded from a .serc file. se can be run interactively or in a script via the included scriptse utility. The editor is portable across many platforms, supporting major Linux and BSD distributions as well as other systems like GNU, Minix, Haiku, OpenSolaris, and Cygwin.

The pictures of Puneet Rajkumar and Yogish starrer Yaare Koogadali are out. The movie stills involving the lead stars and important characters have been released by the makers of the film.
The photos of Puneet Rajkumar, Girish Karnad, Yogish, Bhavana and Charmy Kaur, who has done an item number in Yaare Koogadali, have hit the internet. This is the first official release from the makers of the film.
Yaare Koogadali is a remake of Tamil movie Porali. It is directed by Samuthirakani and produced by Raghavendra Rajkumar. The film has V Harikrishna's music and Sukumar's cinematography. While the audio of the film is expected to release in November, the film is likely to hit the screens in December or January.
Here, we are bringing you some of the pictures of the movie.
Girish Karnad with Puneet Rajkumar
Puneet Rajkumar plays the main lead role, which was played by M Sasikumar in the original. Girish Karnad will be playing the character of a doctor. Yogish is stepping into the shoes of Allari Naresh, who played the second fiddle in Porali.
Yogish, Charmy Kaur and Puneet Rajkumar
For the first time, Charmy Kaur has done an item number in Kannada films. The actress, who had acted in two Sandalwood movies before, will be seen in the special number in in upcoming movie Yaare Koogadali.
Yogish, Charmy Kaur and Puneet Rajkumar
The special number was shot in the last week of September. While Yogaraj Bhat has penned them lyrics for the item song, V Harikrishna has composed the music. Prem Rakshith has choreographed the track.
During the shoot, Charmy Kaur had said that she was having a wonderful time with the Yaare Koogadali team. She wrote, "Having a blast, dancing vit Puneet Rajkumar n Yogi .. Auwsum song .. Ful on energy on sets. Shal post a pic for all soon ."
Bhavana in Yaare Koogadali
Bhavana will be romancing Puneet Rajkumar in Yaare Koogadali. The Malayali girl has an important role to play in the story and Sindhu Lokanath is the second female lead role in the movie.

Most bookies use the spreads and lines issued by Las Vegas but online sports books handle things differently. The Las Vegas sports betting experts are widely known as the ultimate source for lines but Internet bookies will tweak the odds a bit in a way that favors the bettor. They do this because they compete with other sports books and they want to have the best lines. It generally doesn't add up to much but half a point here and half a point there can really impact your bankroll over the long term. They cannot beat the Vegas lines for every game so each sportsbook will usually pick one or two games to adjust the spreads on.
Online sports bettors can do very well by holding different sports book accounts to take advantage of this. By shopping for lines you can usually increase your chances of making a profit by at least 5%.
Some online sports books offer a certain kind of wager called a teaser. These innovative bets are not available everyone but the best online sports books tend to offer them. On a teaser bet you can adjust the lines by a certain number of points. This ability comes at a price though. You will have to successfully pick the outcome on several different games or matches. If you get one wrong you will lose your entire bet. On the upside the payouts are usually pretty good. They are not quite as high as a parlay bet but being able to tweak the lines gives you a power that sports bettors have always dreamed of.
The trick to finding lines with value comes from years of research or an innate ability to predict outcomes. Some bettors, myself included, rely on hunches. Others will simply bet on their local or favorite team. For many type of wager it really doesn't matter because the lines even things out. This includes point spreads, money lines and over-under bets.
If you are going to seriously bet on sports and you do not have the time or the ability to analyze the Las Vegas or online sports book lines you can always take the easy way out. There are hundreds of sports betting picks web sites and services that will tell you who to pick. Many of these people publish their results and accuracy rating so you can take a look at the historical pick ratings to find out if you want to risk your hard earned money on their advice.
I would suggest staying away from picks provided by news web sites and their sports reporters. Even major sites like ESPN tend to be fairly inaccurate. You are much better off searching Google for a sports betting site that has been praised on sports and betting forums. Paid picks services and sports betting systems can work well when it comes to finding bad lines and spreads but you also should use caution. If a service if charging a lot of money and guaranteeing great results I would avoid it.

story of Salvationism in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea commenced in the summer
of 1902 when the Salvation Army first arrived and started to hold
evangelism meetings.
The news that the Army was in town had a great impact
on the village and many were converted into the Christian faith. The
Corps, or Church, recently celebrated 100 years of work in the area,
showing that the Salvation Army still has an important role to play
today in the life of Newbiggin by the Sea.
Premises With Purpose
Over the years as the Salvation Army Corps in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea
developed we acquired and developed two halls for activities. Our
Worship Hall is based on Front Street and the Community Hall is based
close by in Vernon Place. The main weekly activities take place
in the Community Hall with Sunday worship taking place in the Worship
Hall. The halls are based in the East End or "Fisher End" of
the village close to the sea front. The two halls in recent
years have undergone major improvement work and are fully accessible
to all in our community.
Music With A Mission
Music in the Salvation Army plays an important part
in worship. As the Corps grew with new converts musical sections were developed to support worship and open air ministry. Newbiggin-by-the-Sea
Salvation Army Band and Songsters (choir) continue to support worship
every Sunday and are often requested to provide music at various
locations or community events across the area.
A World Vision
The Corps also supports the national and international
work of the Salvation Army who work with some the poorest and disadvantaged,
both in this country and across the world. The community of Newbiggin by the Sea and surrounding area are invited to support The Salvation Army's Annual Appeal, which takes place each September. Members
of the Corps are also active in raising funds for other worthy causes
and charities both in this area and overseas.
You Are Very Welcome
The Corps has a full programme of activities that
all can access. However, The Salvation Army is primarily a
Christian Church and we meet for worship, in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea,
every Sunday at 10.30am and 4.00pm. We
would warmly welcome you to any of our activities.

Kentucky Prosperity Project Receives STAR Award at BIPAC Annual Deployment Partner Meeting in San Antonio
Thursday, December 8, 2016, Frankfort, KYAt the conclusion of BIPACs 2016 Deployment Partner Meeting on Tuesday, December 6, BIPAC President & CEO Jim Gerlach and Regional Vice President Cathy Mesch presented STAR Achievement Awards to several state partners. One of the recipients was the Kentucky Prosperity Project (KYP2), under the direction of the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers. The award was given for overall E2E (employer to employee) communications, based on the efforts of KYP2 to Educate, Engage and Empower Kentuckys manufacturing voters through regular articles in the bi-monthly digital magazine The Goods, weekly e-communications, regional business briefings, weekly legislative updates and Employee Voter Registration Week activities.
The STAR Achievement Awards recognize those P2 efforts that incorporate these aspects:
- Strategic thinking
- Tenacious effort
- Action-oriented
- Results-driven

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
The power light did blink initially, but now a steady green. We have had the set for over three years. There is no click.
The cable box was unaffected. I do not hear a distinct click upon plugging the set back in.
i do not have the ability to do my own repairs. Should I seek a repair shop and have them fix it. Any idea what the cost might be....
Whenever a TV doesn't power up as a result of a power surge, there are two possibilities as to what was damaged. The first, is the Power Supply Board, or more specifically the capacitors on this board will absorb the brunt of the surge, will explode or short internally causing the Power Supply to see a dead short and not supply the DC voltages to the other circuits in the set.
The other culprit, is the Mainboard- which is the board that houses all of the Audio/Video jacks on the back of the TV. The shield on any of the RCA, HDMI or Antenna Inputs acts as a ground/drain for any voltage that travels down the ground of a cable connected to it and can short out this board. Because the Mainboard supplies the communication to the Power Supply to allow the set to turn on, either of them can be your problem. Voltage tests must be performed at the Power Supply Outputs to determine if IT or the Mainboard are causing your problem.
The average cost for this type of repair is going to be between $200-$250 parts and labor depending on which is found at fault. If you'd like, you can use the link below to locate a Tech in your area:

BERLIN, Germany — The country's two leading political rivals agreed on a "grand coalition" on Wednesday that will almost certainly install Angela Merkel as chancellor for her third term.
"This contract forms a great coalition for great challenges," Merkel told reporters.
Following weeks of horse-trading, Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its regional sister party, the CSU, finally sketched out a blueprint for a common program with the opposition Social Democratic Party (SPD).
"This is also a great coalition for the little people," SPD chairman Sigmar Gabriel said.
The terms grant the SPD its demand for a national minimum wage of 8.50 euros ($12) per hour but scotch its hopes for a hike in income taxes, the BBC reported.
"The work is done. It has been very intense and sometimes very hard work today but I think we have a result that is good for our country which is the main measure, but we can also say the result has a strong Conservative imprint," said CDU secretary general Hermann Groehe, according to the news channel. "No new taxes and no new debts."
At their joint news conference Wednesday, Merkel announced that the parties had also agreed to allow older Germans to retire and receive full social security benefits at 63, instead of 67, provided they had worked for 45 years. Moreover, the contract calls for non-working mothers to receive social security, provided they had their children prior to 1992.
In addition, the coalition agreed to the SPD's demand to allow dual citizenship for the children of immigrants who are born in Germany — which faces a shrinking population.
"This is a clear signal to these young people that we want them here in Germany," Merkel said.
More from GlobalPost: Germany's legalized sex industry is booming
Though the contract is a big step forward, the would-be chancellor isn't out of the woods yet.
In a first for Germany, SPD members will have the chance to vote down the agreement in a party-wide mail-in vote. There is "significant uncertainty" about the result, Bloomberg quoted a Citibank economist as saying.
"All the members of the SPD negotiating team is convinced this is not only a good agreement, but a very good agreement," Gabriel insisted. "I expect we will get overwhelming support from our members."
If the deal survives that hurdle and Merkel is sworn in next month, the minimum wage and dual citizenship proposals will have to be presented as bills and passed into law by the new parliament — which is by no means a foregone conclusion.
For instance, a controversial toll for foreign visitors entering Germany by highway — pushed by Merkel's conservative partners in Bavaria's CSU, or Christian Social Union — was also written into the agreement. But CDU deputy chairman Julia Kloechner has said on the record that it will not be passed into law, according to German broadcaster ARD.
The SPD's more populist policies could face equally hard going.
Merkel came within a hair's breadth of winning an outright majority in the September elections, capturing 41.5 percent of the vote compared to 26 percent for the SPD. While Merkel resisted calls to form a minority government, conservatives will be well-placed to fight a rear-guard action against the coalition agreement's concessions to the liberals.
In addition, the minimum wage policy will be phased in over several years, not taking effect in every sector nationwide until 2017.
That holds out hope for conservatives and business leaders, who have argued that a minimum wage would cost Germany millions of jobs.

The Runaway Bunny
"Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away. So he said to his mother, "I am running away." "If you run away," said his mother, "I will run after you. For you are my little bunny." And so begins one of the best young children's books of all time. For no matter where the little bunny can think to run, his mother shows him that she will always come after him, always be waiting for him. This book is pure warmth between two covers. My children loved this story long after they had outgrown it - yours will, too.

Two little trains went down the track,
Two little trains went West.
Puff, Puff, Puff and Chug, Chug, Chug,
Two little trains to the West
One little train was a streamlined train, one little train was a little old train. One little train travels through the "real world" - the other little train travels through the world of a child's imagination. All through the day they travel until they arrive at the West and bedtime. The very special pictures by Leo and Diane Dillon place the two little trains side-by-side as they journey through their respective worlds. We are all very different and all very much alike. An enduring, wise, and very charming book.

Storage heaters information
Electric storage heaters work by storing heat overnight and then releasing it gradually throughout the day.
You should run storage heaters on the Economy 7 tariff. This means they'll use electricity supplied at the cheaper night-time rate. Get in touch with us if you'd like to check the exact times for your meter.
You'll need to get a qualified electrician to wire the storage heaters into your meter. Each one should have a separate on and off switch on the wall next to it.
Basic storage heaters
Basic storage heaters have two main controls – an input and an output (or boost control). You'll probably find these at the top of the heater.
You can control storage heaters individually, so each room can have its own setting.
You use the input control to set how much heat the heater stores. It's best to keep it on a lower setting in milder weather. When it gets colder, choose a higher setting to store more heat.
The output (or boost control) sets the room temperature by controlling how quickly the stored heat escapes.
If you're out during the day, keep it on a low setting. Save the higher setting for when you're at home.
Remember to turn it back to the lowest setting before you go to bed. This will stop the heater releasing the heat that it generates straight away.
Automatic storage heaters
Automatic storage heaters have input controllers. These have in-built sensors to monitor the air temperature whilst they're storing heat.
Once you find the heater setting that keeps you comfortably warm, you won't need to change it. The heater will automatically adjust its charge to match your setting.
Fan-assisted storage heaters
Fan-assisted storage heaters blow warm air into your room from the bottom of the heater.
Some models have a two-speed fan to control the output of the heat.
Keep it on a lower setting for normal use and use the high (or boost) setting to heat the room quickly.
Combination storage heaters
Combination storage heaters have a built-in convector that runs separately on the day rate. This is useful in cold weather.
Try to only use this when necessary so that you make the most of your cheaper stored heat.

With the immense progress standup paddling has made in the past few years, it's easy to forget that it's still a young game. Unlike surfing, whitewater or outrigger paddling, there isn't a generation of athletes that have lived an entire life practicing the art. But, as SUP continues to flourish, the first generation of groms to grow up with paddle and board are maturing and writing their own history- becoming legends that future generations of paddlers might strive to emulate. In SUP magazine's new series, Grom Talk, we get to know the first generation of paddlers lucky enough to grow up in the SUP lifestyle.
Mo Freitas is a multifaceted athlete from the North Shore of Oahu. A competitive paddlesurfer and racer, the kid is on the forefront of SUP. — SC
How did you get into SUP?
I've always surfed. After being a shortboarder for so long, I tried out a board and paddle that my dad got and I fell in love pretty fast. The first race I competed in was the Sunset to Waimea race and I've been competing since.
Do you have a role model?
Laird Hamilton is who I look up to most. He and Dave [Kalama] were responsible for making SUP big. I probably wouldn't be paddling if they hadn't gotten into it, but Laird is just a great waterman too.
How do you feel being called a role model yourself?
I think it's really cool to have other kids look up to me, but I don't really think about it much, I just like paddling and being in the water. My little brother, Marvin, is 6 years old and he always wants to paddle with me. He's getting fast though- he's someone you should look out for.
Tell us what it's like having your dad as a coach and travel buddy.
Well, we're always together, traveling or out in the water. It's fun because he's more like my best friend and I don't know what I'd do without him. My dad is the reason I started paddling. He really helps me out a lot coaching me and keeping me on track; he just wants the best for me.
Do you see any difference between paddling in Hawaii versus the mainland?
I think paddling in Hawaii is different because there's such a strong feeling of aloha everywhere. Everyone knows each other and are friends that share the aloha spirit. Also, the mainland has a lot more flatwater and I think Hawaii has more downwinders. But there's not really a difference between Hawaiian paddlers and mainland paddlers- everyone's just training to win.
What are some of your goals?
I really want to do well in some races here on the mainland, especially the Battle [of the Paddle] because that's a really big race. I'd like to go on some trips soon too, hopefully. Nicaragua and Indo are kind of on the top of my travel list right now, but we'll see.

Torque Wrench
Reviews Home
A good torque wrench is an essential tool for even the most basic
motorcycle maintenance and repair. It's important to ensure that all
of the fasteners on a motorcycle are tightened to specifications for reasons
of safety and to maintain its original design integrity.
The the lightweight alloys used in motorcycles make it very easy to
over-tighten and strip a nut or bolt, which can be an enormous (and
expensive) problem.
Our advice: don't guess! Know the correct torque settings for every nut and bolt
and use a torque wrench.
Quality torque wrenches aren't that easy to find. Probably the most
commonly found torque wrenches in the U.S.A. are the Sears Craftsman brand. There are
also various
no-name brands that can be purchased from discount retailers, but since a
torque wrench is such an essential and important piece of equipment that should last many, many years, our suggestion is to spend the extra
money to buy a quality name brand.
Almost every motorcycle-related email discussion group will have regularly
scheduled arguments among members arguing about which type of torque wrench is best. Any torque wrench
is probably better than "Armstrong torque" (i.e., a guess), but we've used a few
different torque wrenches around the
webBikeWorld shop and our current favorite is this very easy to use
split-beam type by Precision Instruments.
Precision Instruments have been making torque
wrenches in the U.S.A. since 1938, and their products are highly regarded by
machinists, engineers, mechanics and others. They make a huge variety
of different types of torque wrenches in just about any configuration you
could imagine, and it's worth checking out their website if just to learn
more about torque wrenches and their use.
It's important to note that figures regarding torque wrench accuracy are
usually valid from 20% of the full scale of the wrench's rated torque
capacity up to full scale.
For example, our model C2FR100F has a capacity of 20 to 100 ft. lbs.
It is rated at ±4% accuracy, from 20% of its highest rating to the end of
the scale. That means that the ±4% accuracy rate on this wrench is
valid from 20 to 100 ft. lbs., in this case, across the entire range of the
For our purposes, that is, for working on motorcycles, torque wrenches
basically come in four different configurations. The least expensive
torque wrenches are the beam type. These have a pointer that indicates
the torque as the fastener is tightened.
Although simple and virtually
break-proof, they can be hard to use because it's sometimes difficult to
follow the indicator and to read the actual torque value. Also, a
direct view of the pointer and scale is essential for correct application of
torque, but it isn't always possible or easy to
get the wrench in a position that would make it easy to read when the
fastener is upside-down, for example.
Next is the micrometer, or "click" type torque wrench. These
typically have a handle that is turned to set an internal spring for the
desired torque. Micrometer torque wrenches can be very accurate; some
are rated at ±3%
accuracy (i.e., about ±1 ft. lb. at a 30 ft. lb. setting).
Micrometer-type torque wrenches can be used in both a clockwise and
anti-clockwise direction
(although torque wrenches should never be used to release a fastener).
Beam type torque wrench.
The downside is that micrometer torque wrenches must be set back to zero or
to the "stop" setting after use to release the tension on the internal
spring. This means that the handle must be cranked to the correct
torque setting every time their used and then back to zero again when the
job is complete.
We've found that some micrometer torque wrenches do not offer a good
"feel" for when the desired torque is reached. In theory, they should
click and release when the torque setting is reached, but depending upon the
brand, the release point is not always obvious. This can lead to
over-tightened fasteners.
A third type of torque wrench that is rarely seen in the casual garage is
the dial type. These are some of the most accurate torque wrenches
available for general mechanical use, with a ±1% accuracy. The amount
of torque that is applied is not affected by where they are held, but the
downside of the dial type is that the user must be in a position to read the
The "split beam" type torque wrench is a relatively new technology.
They're easier to manufacture, they have fewer internal parts, they're
easier to set to the desired torque, and there's no need to release it back
to zero after the fastener is tightened. The Precision Instruments C2
Series Split Beam Click torque wrench shown here includes a head that flexes up
to 15 degrees in either direction to help correctly locate the wrench in
use, and it is also available with a fixed head.
The C2 is 43 cm long (16-15/16") with an effective length
(from the midpoint of the square drive to the midpoint of the handle in the
center of the two knurled circumferential grip indicators) of 37 cm
(14-31/64"). It weighs 1 lb. 9-5/8 oz., and the head has a
nickel/chrome finish.
The body and handle of the wrench is made from a
formed steel tube and it is plated with some type of low-luster silver-colored finish.
Precision instruments claims that this torque wrench meets or exceeds ANSI
B107.14M and the GGG-W-686C specification, which I believe is an older U.S.
government federal or military specification. It has a ±4% accuracy rating.
The C2 Series is available in several different capacities, from
inch-pounds to foot-pounds and also in Newton meters. Our model
C2FR100F has a capacity of 20 to 100 ft. lbs.; that range covers a wide range of
applications for motorcycle use. We also have a Sears Craftsman "Microtork"
micrometer torque wrench with a 3/8" drive, with a capacity of 25 to 250 inch
pounds (~2 to 20 ft. lbs.) and 3.61 to 29.03 Newton meters for use with
motorcycle fastener torque settings of under 20 ft. lbs. Sears
claims that this wrench is accurate to within ±4% of the setting.
Precision Instruments C2 Split Beam torque wrench is very easy to set to the
desired torque. A hinged cover is flipped open to uncover the small wheel that
is turned to set the
torque. The
wheel is very easy to turn, offering almost no resistance.
The scale
is calibrated in 2 foot pound increments, making it slightly difficult to
interpolate between the marks for odd number settings. A small conversion chart
is located just
above the indicator to convert foot pounds to Newton meters. Flip open
the cover, set the torque, close the cover and it's ready to use.
There's no need to zero out the setting after use.
The Precision Instruments C2 works smoothly and efficiently.
There is a definite "click" when the correct torque setting is reached, and
the wrench releases any further pressure on the fastener, which is crucial
for a correct application of torque.
Some micrometer and all beam type torque
wrenches can travel past the torque setting without a definite release,
and they will continue to apply torque beyond the set value. This can
be dangerous and is often the cause of stripped fasteners, especially at
lower torque values of 10 to 20 ft. lbs., where it can be difficult to
distinguish the click and release sound emanating from the torque wrench.
We've used a Sears Craftsman "Digitork" torque wrench for a number of
years on webBikeWorld projects requiring over 20 foot pounds of torque, but we have never been satisfied with its
quality or with our ability to distinguish when the torque setting was
reached. Sears only offers a 90-day guarantee on their Digitork and
Microtork torque wrenches, compared to the 1-year guarantee from Precision
Instruments. Precision Instruments will also rebuild and recalibrate
their torque wrenches, and they also sell rebuild kits.
Our Sears Craftsman Digitork torque wrench failed after only several
uses, but it was out of warranty. It cost nearly as much as the torque
wrench itself to send it back to Sears for repair and calibration.
Precision Instruments also provides a certificate of calibration with each
torque wrench, certifying it to be calibrated on equipment meeting Mil Std
45662A and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994, with accuracy traceable back to the
National Institute of Standards and Technology. The C2 model also
meets the British BS6073:1988 and ISO 6789 standards for accuracy.
The Precision Instruments C2 is about twice the cost of the Sears
Digitork, but we think that it's easier to use, much more convenient because
the torque settings do not have to be dialed back to zero, and it releases
with a more definite click. Precision Instruments has many different
types of torque wrenches, some with a ±1% accuracy rating. The C2 is a
unique and well-made precision tool and comes in a nice fitted case.
It should last a lifetime and it gives us confidence that our fasteners are torqued to the correct settings.
