Identify these Zeus cranks
I've had these Zeus cranks for a long time and have never known what group they came from. When i got them they were triples so i took the old chainring bolts and small ring off which i still have. I actually have a Zeus Criterium crankset box but i never thought it was the matching one for my cranks, today i looked again and the image of the cranks on the box shows doubles with a different Zeus logo, but stamped on the box are three chainring sizes: 40/46/50 or 51. I have all of those. Should I put the old chainrings back on and sell them as triples with the box? or should i leave them as is. I also have a Zeus bottom bracket that's in really nice condition, i believe the threads are for a Zeus frame. Should i include that as well? Oh yeah and i have a stack of 13 extra Zeus chainrings.
No, that's a "Criterium" crank. Looks like a fairly early version. Is there a letter stamped on the back of the arms? I think that's a date code with the date corresponding to the alphabet sequence, although I haven't nailed down specific letters to specific dates yet.
What size/style rings do you have?
Zeus bikes were French, but the bb you have could be anything (they made to fit all).
I thought everything Zeus was made in Spain. The markings on the back of the cranks are: A - most likely indicating the earliest version, B.S.C - not sure - 172.5mm length. The chainrings appear to be period correct so im going to label those as early Criterium as well. I can measure the BCD tonight.
wrong dust cap ;)
I think dbaki was trying to say that Zeus bicycles usual had French threaded BBs (true, and the frames were made by Razesa), but your BB unit might be BSC threading.
They can fetch some money on eBay, these Zeus components...
It's been a while since I serviced my zeus, but I think the BB shell was 68mm, but it was italian threaded.
Hi Owen,
I'd also go with earlier Criterium. The box could be correct, even. Not certain.
If you're selling, don't bundle. Unless truly matched, it rarely does you well.
As for those spare rings, I'm sending a PM to you!

I took my Zeus crank and BB out of the frame yesterday. It looks like yours and I think it is late 60's early 70's. The arms do have a letter on the back and I will measure the BB and check the threads tomorrow and let you know what mine are. All the rust came off easily but the chrome is not savable
Technically, it's a Zeus Triple but they made them using the Zeus Criterium arms and employing longer chainring bolts and an extra set of spacers to mount an extra chainting on the inside. This method meant you couldn't get any lower gears than the double. Given that you've converted it to a double, it becomes a Criterium.
+1 to Spanish bicycles using the French threading standard during the boom era.
Here's the story with the BB. The cups and crank bolts are new but the spindle has been used. The Zeus bearings were replaced with Campagnolo bearings. I received the cranks and BB together in a group so i'm guessing the spindle was used with different cups at one time with the Zeus cranks. The spindle reads: 123x55t. I will listen to you LeicaLad and i will not bundle.

I have the same cranks on a Zeus:
Im fairly sure that Zeus made most Zeus frames, not Razesa. Zeus was known for being the only manufacturer that made bikes where ALL the metal components we're made in house. And most of the ones I've worked with have English BB.
My Zeus reads. the crank arms are marked with a small, b. The BB is 68 and is french threads. The spindle is 18x55 Serial number is R1280
Can anyone tell the year from the serial number???? The frame weighs 4lb one ounce but is a small frame that I will never get to ride. It has the word Reynolds stamped in many places on it with the tube length under the word Reynolds.
"Razesa produced the high end framesets for Zeus toward the end of Zeus's lifespan.....some of the high end frames in the late 70s to early 80s."
as well as:
"Zeus bicycles most often used Reynolds 531 or Durifort tubing in Metric (French)
tube & threading dimensions."
And the only Zeus I ever worked on had a FR BB but no idea if Razesa made that frame. I'd add that many of the Zeus (especially early) frames used Reynolds 'A' grade tubing, a predecessor of 531, and they used that tubing well past the hey-day of its popularity.
I have 3 and the bbs are French.
Arrrggg. I don't know what to do. I can try to thread the cups into a Peugeot frame. Can anyone tell me how much the crankset is worth?
Hi Owen,
Hard to put a firm number on the value, but things to consider. With the original box showing it as a triple, and the bolts and spacers to make it a triple with the third ring, it becomes something of a hen's tooth set. Original Campy triples, which were limited to the 36t limit for the smallest ring, still command serious buyer attention. I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a Zeus original triple before.
Here's the one instance where a bundle might make sense, simply because the spindle is the right length. Alternatively, you provide the information of the spindle length used by the triple crank, but sell it separately.
Either way, figure a good price for the NOS double - then double that for a price on a NIB original triple. It would only require one bid. But the rarity factor is a major part of that thinking.
I'm open to be flamed on this opinion. . .
Put the crank on ebay, it will find the best price on its own. Zeus parts are a little hard to come by, and the only right parts for a Zeus frame.
In removing my BB I gave the cone a good twist to the right and it did not move. Then the light came on and said it is a left hand loosen french thread ,dummy. For a bike that looked very rusty every thing was very easy to get loose.
If the Criterium BB uses that bolt head, it may be moot: you might not have clearance for a Campy dust cap, anyway.
I'm going to post them on ebay tomorrow. I'm selling the cranks, the bottom bracket, three Zeus chainrings w/ original Zeus chainring bolts, and the box all together. Hopefully i can afford a new project bike with this money.

Lost guitar pedals (Found!!)
UPDATE: Thanks to perfectduluthday.com, the sound guy at the Rex emailed me and said he found my pedals! Sure enough, one of the bands I share a practice space with accidentally grabbed it.
Instead of deleting this post, I will use it to illustrate how important PerfectDuluthDay is to our community. Thanks Paul & the gang!

wikiHow to Have an Online White Elephant Gift Exchange
White Elephant Gift Exchanges are great fun, but the online version is a social explosion. This is the perfect gift exchange party for distant family and friends to join in the fun. But be prepared, these online versions can last several days and even weeks, depending upon how many you invite to the party. AlbinoPhant online parties are now the way to play white elephant exchanges and save on travel expenses.
1Determine a host or party organizer.
2Create an invitation list of friends and family. They can be across the country or right next door. They just need to have an internet connection.
3Send emails out to the invitees and let them know your deadlines.
4Ask them to send the host an image of the gift they are contributing to the party. The host will need to be prepared to manage* all of the images.
5Draw numbers or names to start the party and then email everyone with the name of the first player.
6Start choosing gifts like the regular white elephant party. Host will reveal a gift via an attachment. Subsequent players can steal a revealed gift or reveal another through the host.
7Use the host as the clearing house of gift images and the person who pulls the names from the hat to determine playing order.
8Use the emailing process to build the banter between the players.
9When all the gifts have been revealed by the host, send everyone the contact/shipping information of the final gift owner.
10Everyone ships their gifts off to the other members of the party.
Community Q&A
Can I reveal which gift I gave after it has been chosen?wikiHow ContributorYes. You could show a picture of the actual gift, but it would ruin the element of surprise. If you want to be able to trade, you want people to know what they have before they receive it.
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- Using email requires the host to be fully committed to the party. The host can print off an image of each gift and pin it on a big wall. When someone owns a gift, put their name on the picture to represent the current "owner" of the gift. Using slips of paper for the names will make it easier to move them around as the stealing goes on in the party.
- The online version of the white elephant party can take several days or even more than a week to complete... Leave yourself plenty of time.

Amazing doesn't cut it...... the detail that Simon goes in to on the repairs was amazing for the price. I had paid more than double in other shops for the same service. Loads of choice of parts and bike that I will be back to look at in future.

Liam Gallagher wants to release three singles ahead of his next album with his post-Oasis group, so he can revive the format.
Liam Gallagher wants to release three singles ahead of his next album, which he wants to release next summer.
The former Oasis frontman - who has formed a new, currently unnamed, group from the members of the band excluding his brother Noel - said he will be releasing nine tracks before his new band's debut album comes out, across three singles.
He said: "By next June we'll be recording our album then, or will have finished recording it. So, I'd like to have a single out this October, followed by two fantastic B-sides and then have Christmas off, put another single out at the end of January, maybe another one in March and then get the album out in June of next year.
"I'm certainly not putting the album out first, not in this day and age. It'll be like what we used to do in the Oasis days. No remixes, none of that b*****s, brand new f***ing songs - Musicians man, we write songs, we don't f***ing mix 'em up."
The outspoken singer, 37, explained he wanted to release so many tracks in order to revive the single format.
He added to website live4ever.uk.com: "You gotta have B-sides man. If you can write one record, you can write another two. Do you know what I mean?
"it's old school. That's the way I wanna do it. I want people to buy our singles. I don't wanna change the way this music is going."
There were a number of defining bands of the 90's but Oasis were indisputably one...

Jan 13, 2012The lack of HP meters and other abnormalities forces one to play Ant Raid with one's gut-feeling and intuition. Truly a fresh and a welcome perspective on the genre that traditionally has relied on those factors.
Aug 4, 2011I enjoyed so much playing it, because of the funny characters, great animations, cool graphics. I always found some new detail to laugh or smile on it during the game - it's obvious, that it was made with lot of love and attention.
Plus very nice soundtracks, with nostalgic retro feelings.
Thanks Prank! ;)
Aug 4, 2011beautiful game with a lot of attention on presentation. nice sountrack and graphics, slick user interface. nice example of how to make a real time strategy game without unit building. try it out, it is a lot of fun!
Aug 3, 2011Very very funny game, splendid graphics and easy to understand user interface, a lot of fun to play! there are a lot of level and playmodes in the game, just try it out, you wont be dissapointed!
Aug 2, 2011very funny and nicely polished game with a lot of levels and play options. the music and the graphics are exceptionaly good with a lot of charm and humor. i can only recommend it to every strategy fan!
Great game with much content for very good price. The graphics is great for an iPad game, the characters are funny, the gameplay is varied enough, the sounds funny, and the music very memorable.

Awards & Rankings
Nov 10, 2011It's pretty much Ants vs Zombies, but Ant Raid's controls are more organic than those in PopCap's game, and the oddball sense of humour and design is, if anything, superior. Our only criticism, bar the game's slightly repetitive nature, is it falls between two camps: a bit lightweight for dedicated RTS fans and too tough for casual gamers. Otherwise, it's f-ant-astic. (Sorry.)
Sep 7, 2011Ant Raid shows how sneaky the casual RTS is. What seems cute and mindless is actually incredibly fun because it encourages one to think and use a little foresight. It may not be a gateway directly into something like Starcraft but hey, it's a start.
Aug 1, 2011Ant Raid might be a little light for the serious RTS crowd - its focus is on frantic action far more than management or organization. For anyone who wants some strategy in their action games, though, it's a perfect fit.

The New York Times recently highlighted the finesse and acumen of the Dallas Museum of Art's Islamic Art advisor, Sabiha Al Khemir, on the cusp of the upcoming exhibition she has curated for the DMA called Nur: Light in Art and Science from the Islamic World, which opens on March 30 after traveling from Focus-Abengoa Foundation in Seville, Spain.
Al Khemir, who came on as a senior advisor at the museum in November 2012, has been a leading force in the promotion and exhibition of Islamic art and artifacts, in Dallas and elsewhere, championing the rich histories, traditions and beauty of the ancient culture. Already, in her short tenure at the DMA, she has helped push the DMA to the forefront of the dialogue surrounding the display of Islamic art, helping that museum secure, for the next 15 years, the covetable collection of Edmund de Unger, which contains some 2,000 Islamic art objects.
For the exhibition Nur (which is the Arabic word for metaphysical light), Al Khemir was able to secure all of the art objects she requested, some of which have never been seen in the United States. This required that the curator travel to some of the most war-torn places on the planet to retrieve them: "There are days when I wonder why I do this, and then I see it in the eyes of people looking — sight becoming insight," she told the Times, adding, "These pieces have a huge world inside."

WT20: To win it for India in front of Sachin is emotional, says Virat Kohli
Kolkata: The exhilaration of being India's hero in the crunch World Twenty20 clash against Pakistan aside, batting star Virat Kohli said he felt emotionally overwhelmed to have done it in front of the iconic Sachin Tendulkar.
Kohli's unbeaten 37-ball 55 helped India overahul a target of 119 in 18 overs last night to continue their winning run against Pakistan in ICC events. The swashbuckling right-hander said to have played the knock with Tendulkar in attendance added to his happiness.

"I can't express the feeling...Sachin Tendulkar was up there in the stands. I have seen Sachin paaji do that for India for years together and seen how people shout for him. I have gotten a chance to do it in front of him and he was celebrating," Kohli told 'bcci.tv'.
"I cannot explain that feeling as a youngster who has grown up playing cricket because of him. To be able to do it in front of him and give him happiness. I am very grateful for it and it was a very emotional moment," he said.
India lost the tournament-opener to New Zealand in Nagpur and Kohli said it is imperative for the team to win the remaining two matches against Australia and Bangladesh.
"I think this is a perfect catalyst for us going forward into this tournament. You have to stay positive, no matter what. That is the name of the game in international cricket. There is nothing you can do about a bad loss, but what you have to do is learn from it, and come out positive," he said.
"When you are sitting in that room, you want to be the guy that makes the difference in the game and win the game for the team single-handedly. If all eleven guys can think like that, then the team is in a good space," he added.

The article by Gyula Hegyi reminds me of the ambivalent attitudes towards the Nazis and in particular the SS in this country immediately after the second world war. The British authorities learned that Ukrainian units of the SS Galizien Division that they were handing over to Soviet forces in the last days of the war were being taken behind the railway station and shot. So instead they brought well over 4,000 of these SS men to Britain and mixed them up with real refugees in the camps being set up throughout Britain. I lived in one of these camps for 10 years and remember the concentration-camp survivors arguing whenever some former SS guard was recognised and how they should settle scores. The ex-SS melted away over the years.

Gyula Hegy raises important points about the worrying growth of far-right nationalism in central and eastern Europe, but overlooks one important point that explains why many citizens of these countries want to get rid of statues celebrating Red Army victories over the Nazis. The Red Army carried out rape on an industrial scale when it was "liberating" Europe. Its soldiers raped Poles, Romanians, Estonians etc, and of course Austrians and Germans - and even its own women soldiers after liberating them from Nazi PoW camps. So many statues commemorating Red Army liberation represent rape, disease and death. Is it any wonder that many in these countries would prefer not to have permanent reminders of these atrocities?

Always for the sake of clarity, I believe that some
more words should be spent on in which sense WSs "are another layer in a
multi-layer architecture"... They introduce some kind of factorization of the
enterprise ecosistem, sure: however I'd say that their taxonomy is somewhat
orthogonal to the tier one. They are deeply different in purpose: just think at
all the orchestration patterns that WS leverages as opposed to the rigid roles
that carachterize the PLBLDAL.
I think that the key concept here is that the design
of a business object is supposed to be done exactly like in the past: having WSs
today allow you to gather a functional team of objects(components?) that,
taken together, supply (guess what?) a service. Such objects can be from
both the BL and the DAL, hence the orthogonality.
Regarding the embedding of business logic in the web
service: since the WS supply a different coarseness in the offered functionality
and can have to coordinate the interaction of different lower level objects, I
believe it's perfectly reasonable that such coordination could imply a centain
dose of (business) logic. It's not wasted by any mean: by scale selfsimilarity,
this could be equivalent to say that the orchestration logic among WSs of one
enterprise process is "wasted" as well.
I'm afraid that, more than the articles that for sake
of simplicity fail to supply a canonical concept of service, the problem is that
it's not entirely clear what a service architecture overimposed on a old fashion
one can do for the enterprise: we have the mean before having an exact
idea of what what we can achieve with that mean. Such goals are, very
often, more business related than pure technical stuff: so the typical
situation is that who has the skin in the game can't yet think in term of
services and since he can't think in such term he can't as well see the
(enormous) advantages specific to his business.
Sorry if my bad English messed up the meaning 🙂
I saw Julie's post that took me to Alex's post and I really like this
subject. However, I don't totally agree.
definitely agree that WebServices are another layer in a multi-layer
architecture. What I don't totally agree with is that there should be no
logic in a WebService. That it should only act as an "interface"
layer. I think in a perfect world, where everybody follows best practices
and has all the time they need to do projects, this would be the way to
go. A lot of companies have to weigh "the best way to do something" vs.
"the fastest and most cost effective way to do something". A lot, I would
guess, decide that if the business logic is small enough and will never be
reused, that it would be better to just throw it in the WebService. The
more OOP-like you make an application, the easier it is to update in the
future. It also goes the other way though, and can make updating more
last project I worked on (that's not quite done yet actually) had about 1500
lines of code in it. Basically though, all the logic in the WebService is
really just to "shape" the data that comes from my DAL. Should I move all
that shaping code into another Assembly or even just another class?
Maybe. If I don't, am I screwing myself over in the future? Not
I just
think that there's no difference in programming practice between say WebForms,
WebServices & WindowsForms (besides the fact that WebServices don't have
UI). It's a "best practice" to not have any business logic in your UI (or
in your WebService, stated by Alex), but does everyone follow that? Not at
all. Again, I believe the reason being, simply because of time and
weighing the benefits.
said, I agree with Alex, that business logic should be outside of your "layer
interface". I don't think, however, that if you don't do it that way, you
should be looked at as someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
Situations vary.

Sanctions are 'revival' of 'Cold War mentality,' Russian ambassador says
Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak on Sunday described the Obama administration's sanctions against his country as a gesture that brings with it shades of the Cold War.
"The sanctions that have been introduced [are] certainly [a] significant gesture of the revival of the Cold War mentality," Kislyak said on "Fox News Sunday."
Pressed by host Chris Wallace on whether Russians interpret sanctions as part of a return to the Cold War, the ambassador parsed his words. "I didn't say it's a revival of a full cold war — basis for a full cold war isn't there," he said.
(Also on POLITICO: Ukraine PM: 'God knows' where Putin will stop)
Still, Russia interprets sanctions against its economy as counterproductive.
"We do not believe that the language of sanctions is a good one in the 21st century," he said, though it's an approach that the United States and the European Union have decided to take to try to pressure Russia to back away from its aggressive stance on Ukraine.
But, Kislyak said, Russia can take the heat. "It's Russia. It's a very solid state, well-to-do, a well-developing country. We can withstand these pressures."

At this point in his life, the legend of former Beach Boy Brian Wilson is already written. There are no new revelations to uncover, no missing masterworks from his already impressive oeuvre. He's outlived his famed mental issues, his many bandmate betrayals (and lawsuits), and his work in progress personality. He's survived to see his magnum opus Pet Sounds supplant the rival works of the Beatles as the Best Album Ever (in some circles) and even managed to bring the aborted Smile project back from the dead. He is beloved, adored, and universally recognized as a creative genius who, along with the famed Fab Four from the UK, rewrote the pop rock rulebook for generations to come. So it comes as no surprise that the new DVD presentation - Brian Wilson: Songwriter 1962 - 1969 - adds nothing new to his cemented mythos. There are no new disclosures here, no startling insights unearthed via access or approach. Instead, we get an excellent walkthrough for the uninitiated, a primer to prepare those without a working knowledge of the artist of where he came from, and the magical, mysterious places he went.
The Plot:
The DVD:
So don't come to Songwriter expecting something new. If anything, the best bits are the reminders of how far Wilson's artistry reached. We get to hear forgotten work with The Honeys (a girl group featuring the composer's future wife), as well as other collaborations/contributions outside the Beach Boys. There's also some great vintage footage of lyricist Van Dyke Parks lambasting Mike Love for demanding an explanation to a few of his famously obtuse lines. But with time and reinterpretation, Brian Wilson's import as part of the progress of modern music is rote. It's been discussion and deconstructed to the point where even a casual fan knows some of the score. They get the inference and jealously of his buffoonish father, Murray. They recognize the workaholic perfectionism that drove him to complete mental exhaustion. They also know how underappreciated his latter efforts were, band members questioning his desire to "f*ck with the formula".
Still, unlike many knock-off attempts at star collecting, Songwriter has a compelling center in Wilson, as well as something few films like this have - back catalog access. We get dozens of examples of the Beach Boys hits, including live and studio takes on tracks like "Fun, Fun, Fun", early tune "Surfin'", and Smile sequences like "Cabinessence". Even better, when the Beatles arrive in the storyline, their historic performances on Ed Sullivan are shown, as well as snippets of their famed Pet Sounds-alike, Sgt. Peppers. Sure, it seems odd to discuss the production intricacies of a track like "Good Vibrations" and then show a Wilson-less version of the band performing the song "live". Most of the time, these titles take the easy way out, failing to clear song rights, and instead, substituting lame imitations. Here, we get the real deal and it's refreshing. Still, with its lack of personal perspective from the subject himself and the amount of material yet to discuss, Songwriter 1962 - 1969 can't help but be a tad underwhelming. We don't expect or want a tabloid dissertation on the man or his many flaws. But unless you know little or nothing about the bedeviled Brian Wilson, you'll hear a lot that's familiar here -for good and for bad.

Attachments boost Kubota mini excavators productivity.
- 24 November 2007
- Product News
All 18 Kubota models, spanning the weight range from 850kg up 8 tonnes, can have the Miller Bug or the Klac quick hitch coupler system fitted by distributors to allow the operator to rapidly switch between attachments from inside the machine's cab.
Kubota distributors provide a wide range of specialist attachments from some of the UK's leading suppliers, including branded Kubota breakers made for the company by Sandvik.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England defender Darrius Barnes fired an unexpected warning shot at the New York rearguard during the first half of Saturday night's 1-1 draw at Gillette Stadium.
Barnes may not have scored in a MLS match prior to the Red Bulls' visit and may have waited until the last possible moment to secure it on this night, but he showed he could place himself in the right spot to do so when he pushed his open header wide after 21 minutes.
"I thought Lee [Nguyen] hit a good free kick in," Barnes told MLSsoccer.com. "I jumped too early. I didn't time it as well as I could have. It was a definite opportunity. I thought we were going to get a goal off a set piece or a cross with the way the balls were coming in. I guess it foreshadowed the goal a little bit."
A goal at that stage may have avoided the need for Barnes' late heroics. New England probably could have found itself a goal or two ahead entering the late stages if not for a slice of bad luck here and a few Bill Gaudette stops there. Instead, the Revs fell behind to an opportunistic Joel Lindpere header one minute into second-half stoppage time.
Lindpere's apparent winner prompted Barnes to join the Revolution surge up the field and try to find the right spot to carve out a second opportunity. The opportune moment came seconds before the final whistle when a second ball deflected out to Kelyn Rowe on the right flank.
OPTA Chalkboard: Barnes rewarded for solid shift
"Initially, I made the run forward," Barnes said. "I think the first ball might have come from Bobby [Shuttleworth] off a goal kick or a ball back. I wanted to get up and flick it on. It went out wide to Kelyn [Rowe], so I recycled my run. He laid it back to Ryan Guy. I was just trying to cause havoc in the box. It came in a perfect spot and I was able get in front of the goalkeeper and put in the back of the net."
Barnes' first goal in 88 MLS appearances extended the Revolution's unbeaten run over the Red Bulls at Gillette Stadium to 16 regular-season games and prompted the versatile defender to jokingly wonder whether he should add another position to his list after his late equalizer
"I keep telling Jay I'm a target forward," Barnes said. "He doesn't believe me."

Entry #3
Ya it's that time of year again...
I started doing FBF back in 2010 but I used pre made heads that I would copy and paste throughout my animations. Now I'm going full FBF: redrawing the body head to toe. Takes a little bit longer but worth it. Added a w/e background just to get an idea of what this could look like.
Let me know what you think. Any constructive criticism very welcomed.
***I watched a lot of Young Justice lately so I'm trying to incorporate that design. But there's something about my look that just doesn't quite match up to it. Any ideas would be very helpful***

Young Justice had more sharply defined muscle tones, which don't show through your character. The costumes also had little details that you didn't quite notice but still made a difference in how you liked it. And if I remember correctly, they used high-contrast lighting which was mostly dark, on the characters and the backgrounds. Hope this helps you get what you're looking for. If this still doesn't work, studying stills from the show is aways a great idea.
That actually does thanks :)

It's a bit hacky, but with that amount of detail I can't request perfectly smooth animation, especially not for full FBF. Looks great so far! Also looks like it'll take quite some time to make! Wonder how long it takes you to draw each frame?
It depends. That animation altogether took 4 hours but I really took my time.
Thanks for the comment :)

SCSR F3F - June 12 - White Point
Hey Racers,
This months SCSR F3F on June 12 will be at White
Point. This will be our Second official F3F at White
Point. If it's anything like our first F3F we had there
last month, we should be in for some good close racing.
The racing will start at noon. Be there by 11:00 to
get signed up, and to help with the course setup. I'll
be the CD for this one.
This is the racing season folks, so I want to see a
good turn out. Coastal racing is the best racing.
Especially for F3F. Generally, if you get a better time
than you did in the last round, it's because you flew
a better course, not because you caught a thermal. The
best way to improve your skills is to race at coastal
We are once again running our newbe special. Newbes fly
for free, the $5.00 entry is waved. So if you've never raced
F3F with us before, come on out. All you need is an current
AMA card, and a plane, any plane. Last month we had
three new guys show up flying a moth, a MB 60" and a Opus.
You don't need the latest 3 meter super ship to compete and
have fun.

F3F 2004 - White Point 06-12-04 Results
Hey racers,
Below you will find a short race report by Nathan Woods and the results.
From the CDs prespective, the race went really well. The wind came on like it was supposed to, everybody helped out, and we got in a lot of rounds. We had a couple of new faces show up this race. I'd like to see some more next race.
A small correction to Nathan's report, this was my first win. I came in second place at last months F3F, also at White Point.
================================================== ========
Hello Race Fans,
Today was another great WhitePoint day, with consistent air, gorgeous weather, easy landing, and good friends.
Congrat's to Mike for peeling off another win at Whitepoint. It's safe to say he has this course nailed, and finds those corners better than everyone else on this slope.
Whitepoint offered a technically challenging race today, with shifting winds and varying lift bands. Ballasting was important, and finding the cleanest line was essential.
The fight for the top 5 spots changed hands frequently today, but the fight against the clock proved the most challenging. The goal today was to break 50 second air. Joe Wurts came Oh So Close in one beautifully flown round which he commenced with the battle cry "Fly angry!". His reward for his precision flying? A fifty point zero zero. As in, 50.00 - once again the sub 50 time proved ellusive until Tom Copp got a meaty starting dive run, and clocked out a 49.43, shouting out "Take that Hill!" at the end of it.
Bill DelHagen missed several rounds at the end, so his final score is misleading, and JW had to miss the last round, thus having to use some less than perfect scores from earlier in the day.
Bob Bingham's flying proved to be the most entertaining today. He was flying a brand new NXY with the CG a bit aft and WAAAAYYY too much throw. He was all over the sky and elicited many oh's, ah's, and Oh Sh&T's! from turn judges and spectators alike.
Last year was Dan Fields breakout year. This year, clearly that honor goes to Mike Sheridan. Congrat's Mike. It was fun watching you have fun.
Today was a lot of fun, and it was great seeing more new faces. Next F3F is July 10th!

Good Points
The good points of this game are obviously how real it looks and the fact that it's licensed.
Bad Points
The realism, it's too slow, there's not enough skill tricks (and I don't mean the flick over the head and the 45 yard bicycle kick), and you can never seem to be able to skin a player like Giggsy or Henry do.
General Comments
In the past I have tended to lean to the PES series. I don't know why I decided to buy Fifa 2004 and still don't but in my eyes it was a huge mistake. I thought to myself that I needed to give it time like I did with PES but no matter how long I wait the game will still be bad. I mean don't get me wrong it looks beautiful but the game play is still lacking the realism that PES offers.

I have a Seasonic M12II-620 power supply. I am going to get a GTX 690 graphics card.
For the graphics card to work using the power supply, I'll need to use some molex adaptors, because the power supply only has one 6 pin and 8 pin power connectors, but the graphics card needs two 8 pin power connectors.
The rest of the system is a 2600k (assume it's overclocked although I doubt it), two SSDs, three hard disks, dvd writer, various peripherals.
Should I get a replacement power supply? I'd rather not unless there will be short or long term detrimental effects, can't be bothered to rewire.
Looks fine to me: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5805/nvid ... ra-fast/16
Should be fine, I have the same powersupply with a 7870 (60w less at full load) but running 6x 120mm fans, 3 HDDs, 2 DVD-Writers, i7-930, 6b ram and I haven't had any problems in the few days I've been running it. Though I did get sick of the noise and unplugged 4x of the fans. =)
Anandtech shows 429W for the entire system so you should definitely be fine.
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS ... ni/24.html
Shows 334W for just the card at max load, so yeah, you'll be fine. Hell you could install a GTX 670 to go with it and you'd probably still be fine.

The tears that streamed down Vernon Davis's face after the game-winning touchdown catch that propelled the San Francisco 49ers into the NFC championship game inspired flashbacks to Terrell Owens's memorable touchdown grab against the Packers in the 1998 playoffs.
In a 22-second video posted on his Twitter account Wednesday night, the 38-year-old wide receiver announced he's headed back to Dallas — to play for the Indoor Football League's Allen Wranglers.
"It's official, it just went down, I'm headed back to Texas," Owens said. "That's right, IFL, here I come. Allen, Texas, here I come. I'm going to be me."
Owens will play and become co-owner of the IFL team, which is based Allen, a northern suburb of Dallas.
"He's a great player, a winner, and I'm a big fan," Wranglers co-owner Jon Frankel told ESPNDallas.com. "I want to make the Allen Wranglers the No. 1 attraction in Collin County."
Owens missed all of the 2011 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL. In 2010, he caught 72 passes for 983 yards and nine touchdowns with the Cincinnati Bengals.
In October, Owens proclaimed himself good to go and held a workout for prospective NFL teams — but no one showed.
The 16-team IFL includes teams from Green Bay, Chicago, New Mexico and Nebraska. The Wranglers open their season on Feb. 25 against Wichita.
On his Twitter feed, the five-time All Pro advised fans to "GETCHA POPCORN READY!!"
Now all the Wranglers need to do is add Mr. Wrangler himself to throw T.O. the ball. No marketing strategy necessary.
More from Washington Post Sports:
T.O. works out, but no NFL teams show up
Drew Rosenhaus: Owens is "100% healthy & ready to play right now!"

I am an amateur writer who has written one novel, Diamonds in the Dust, and am currently working on another, The Spirit Road. I have also been published in Eye Spy magazine.
I've been a fan of Formula 1 for as long as I can remember, but really started to take a keen interest in the sport in 1992, during Nigel Mansell's championship-winning year. Just about every year since then my passion has grown. Even during the years of Schumacher domination, I never lost the faith. And now we have a new rising star, in the form of Lewis Hamilton.
My writing style tends to be quite humourous and irreverent - Formula 1 is such a preposterous sport anyway that you don't have to work hard to find the funny side. Anyone in the sport who takes things too seriously deserves to be brought down to Earth!
The sport is rapidly evolving as Max Mosely cracks the whip (ahem) so we can look forward to plenty of changes in the coming seasons. It is my intention to keep you informed, as well as putting a smile on your face.
I am also a keen cricket fan, and look forward to writing some articles once the international season gets under way.
If anyone wants to get in touch, you can send me an e-mail at:
I live in Hertfordshire, UK, with my wife, Heidi, and our border collie, George.
Featured article already mate! Well done! I can see we are going to get some quality out of you. Keep it up :) Anything I can help you with, please ask... although Ryan and Sarah are probably better equipped to answer your questions.

Six held after ceremony released
Six men arrested after a republican commemoration heard threats of further violence by dissidents opposed to the peace process have been released without charge.
The event to mark the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland was addressed by a hooded spokesman for the Real IRA who pledged more attacks on police and soldiers.
Police said they chose to maintain a distance from the event in the Creggan cemetery in Londonderry, but a security force helicopter monitored the scene.
The six men, who had been taken to Antrim for questioning, were released from custody.
The Easter Monday event was organised by the 32 County Sovereignty Movement and republicans gathered for a march and a wreath-laying ceremony.
The man clad in a balaclava and black combat gear who read a statement on behalf of the Real IRA said its campaign of violence would continue.
"The IRA will continue to attack Crown Force personnel, their installations, as well as British interests and infrastructure," he said.
The group is responsible for a series of attacks including the murder of soldiers Mark Quinsey and Patrick Azimkar outside Massereene army base in Antrim in 2009 only hours before the men were to fly out to begin a tour of duty in Afghanistan.
A spokesman for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said senior officers had taken the decision to run "a low-key operational response to the event".
The incident came a day after an Easter commemoration by mainstream republicans heard a call from Sinn Fein for a process of reconciliation.

I real like the design and function of this seat post. It is really easy to set up and looks very nice. I like that once you set up the angle of your seat you can then move it for and aft, with out having to worry that the angle changed. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROUND RAIL ON YOUR SEAT. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH OVAL RAILS. They make a conversation kit for oval rails, but good luck getting one. Good seat post, nice design and just plain neat.

Hodgson still hopeful on Mascherano
Roy Hodgson insists Christian Poulsen was not brought to the club as a replacement for Javier Mascherano and says he does not expect the Argentina captain to leave Liverpool in the imminent future.
Hodgson brought in defensive midfielder Poulsen, 30, from Juventus this week and many believe the transfer was made as a result of the expected departure of Mascherano to Inter or Barcelona.
However, Hodgson has dismissed those rumours and said Poulsen was simply brought in to give him another option ahead of a potentially busy season.
"It is not a question of Christian replacing Javier," he said. "I believe Javier is going to play for us. We've got a lot of games to play hopefully and we're going to need a lot of players. We didn't take him in to replace somebody - we took him in because we want him to improve the size of our squad and the quality of our squad."
Asked if Mascherano's statement that he had no problem with Liverpool as a club means there is hope he could stay, Hodgson said: "There's no point in me commenting on things Javier has said or supposedly said, because I've had seven or eight training sessions with him now and we talk about football.
"Since our very early meeting where he made it clear that if possible he would prefer to leave, he's been getting on with his work, training properly, playing properly and, as far as I'm concerned, he's a Liverpool player until the day somebody signs him, and that day does not seem to be imminent."
He added: "As far as Javier is concerned, I can quite categorically state there has been no offer from any club for him. As a result, I don't see why every day I should put his loyalty or desire to the club in doubt.
"We made it clear to him that if the offer he wanted came along we probably would not stand in his way but that offer has not come along and he is working hard to play for Liverpool.
"He is a realistic player. He is playing for Liverpool and is not looking for a move to a Spanish second division team - there are very few clubs in the world that can even consider having Javier Mascherano on their books.
"If he wants to leave he will be expecting a club of a similar stature to Liverpool to come along and at the moment they haven't so I'm presuming he is very happy to stay here."
Hodgson also confirmed Liverpool are hopeful of completing a deal for Middlesbrough goalkeeper Brad Jones.
"I haven't spoken to (managing director) Christian Purslow today because he is in London with the rest of the board but I'm hoping that transfer will take place and the sooner the better," he said.
Hodgson also said he will be giving Fernando Torres a test ahead of the Arsenal game to see whether he is sharp enough to play.
"Fernando has made a remarkable effort to get himself fit and ready for Premier League football and he has a chance," he said. "He has worked extremely hard in the two and a half weeks he has been back so I certainly don't rule him out.
"His chances were being played down by the sports science people who said in an ideal world he would have a longer preparation period. They are rightly concerned if he plays too early he could have a recurrence of a knee problem which could keep him out for longer so it is quite simply a balancing job."

UNT Health Science Center's Physical Therapy Program Achieves Accreditation
May 14, 2013, 17:47 ET from UNT Health Science Center
FORT WORTH, Texas, May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The UNT Health Science Center's Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, which began accepting students in 2010, has achieved initial accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education. The program's first class, which graduates this month, will be eligible to sit for the Texas state board licensing exam. Initial accreditation is valid for five years; subsequent cycles will be for 10 years.
- Protects students by assuring that programs meet minimal standards
- Protects the public by graduating students who are competent to practice
- Assists with student mobility
- Provides access to federal financial aid for students
- Aids with entrance to a profession
"Our curriculum is rigorous because it is delivered by faculty with 129 years of experience in PT education, collectively," said Clayton Holmes, PT, EdD, and Chairman of the Physical Therapy Department. "Most of the inaugural class of 29 students have decided to practice in the Tarrant County area. Two of the graduates will practice in rural Texas, where health services are especially needed.
"With an increased emphasis on prevention and wellness, in addition to aging Baby Boomers, society is trending toward physical therapy," Holmes said. "Our graduates are well prepared to meet the physical therapy needs of this area."
The UNT Health Science Center comprises the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, School of Public Health, School of Health Professions and the UNT System College of Pharmacy (opening in fall 2013). Key areas of inter-professional strength include aging and Alzheimer's disease, applied genetics, primary care and prevention.

text: I was once asked by DukeBurger, during a discussion about my Red Bell Pepper and fruit-based rubs, if I had ever made a sauce for my Bbq meats. Duke asked:"Have you come up with any bbq sauces to compliment your rubs? Seems like it would be a waste to have that cherry-blueberry rub covered up with any ol' sauce." While I had never made a sauce from scratch at that point in time, it got me thinking nearly 6 weeks later. What if I made a sauce from the rub ingredients and skipped the rub altogether? Hmm...lose the rub-based bark we all love so much, however, enable me to create a whole new style (to us) of pulled pork, while hopefully retaining much of the original flavors of the rub. Of course, I knew retaining those flavors in a thick sauce would be the challenge I probably longed for. A thin sauce, well, that's just too easy...naw, I gotta try the hard way first, right? Well, Duke, this one's for you!!! BTW, thanks for the underlying inspiration...I know you didn't intend for this to happen (or maybe you did, and it just took me forever and a day to figure it out...sometimes I'm slow...LOL!!!)...in either case, here you go, brother!!! BTW, this smoke and sauce was actually documented 01-10-16, it just took me a while to get around to posting it up...sorry, I know, I shouldn't be holding back...been freeky-busy lately. So, 6 weeks after the fact... I started the smoke with my absolute favorite PP subject, the picnic shoulder. It has a far deeper flavor, and more collagen, then the boston butt...higher retained moisture is just one of the things I like better about the picnic. It just made sense to me to use what I liked to work with the most. Nothing but meat, heat and a dry smoke chamber. All I wanted was a moderate smoke flavor and to form a tight pellicle on the surface to seal in those precious natural juices...that's where the true, natural pork flavor is. I removed the skin from the picnic and trimmed relatively lean: 4hrs into the smoke via WSM 18.5"...for those who don't think that smoke can add much color to meat...just smoke it slow enough, and notice the color-change as you scroll-down: 12hrs, 167* IT: 16hrs, probed tender in all muscles @ 198*...not a ton smoke ring developed here due to the dry smoke chamber. I wanted natural moisture retention, and that's what I got...the missing chunk was from spousal and chef samples: ...different exposure and flash settings to better highlight to color...no baste or glaze, just meat, heat and smoke...hickory and cherry, if I recall: While the shoulder was finishing in the WSM (around 185* IT) I whipped-up the sauce. Well, technically it wasn't quick, as I did simmer it for over an hour to meld the flavors and get the texture of the cherries, etc to soften enough to rip it up in the 1000-watt Ninja blender. Like the dry rub, this is a recipe for those in search of something better...something our of the ordinary...something unique and original. It's not "the go to", or "the best" (that can only be defined by those who've experienced it)...it's just unique...although, it's still a work in progress, at least for me...maybe I'm just hard to please and projects like this are what drive me to find better, best, ultimate...however one would wish to qualify it. HAWG HEAVEN SAUCE *24oz apple sauce, unsweetened *15oz tomatoe sauce, unseasoned (sub with 2.5 cups fresh, peeled & chopped) 1-1/2 C water (1/4-3/8 cup with fresh tomatoes) 6 Tbls (3/8 C) ground red bell pepper (sub with approx 1-1/4 cup fresh, reduce water) 6 Tbls (3/8 C) dried whole tart cherry (sub with approx 1-1/8 cup fresh, reduce water) 6 Tbls (3/8 C) whole fresh or frozen blueberries 2 Tbsp Molasses, full flavor 2 tsp thyme 3 Tbls onion powder 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp ground sage 2 tsp chili powder 1 Tbls smoked paprika 1.5 Tbls fine ground 5-peppercorn* *1/2 Tbsp fine ground black peppercorn *(sub for 5-peppercorn) *1/2 Tbsp white pepper powder *(sub for 5-peppercorn) 2 Tbls garlic powder (sub with 6 cloves fresh minced) 1 Tbls sea salt (optional...if using fresh tomatoes...I used none today due to canned tomato sauce) Simmer covered over low heat on stove-top, stirring frequently to prevent scorching for 1 hour (min) to incorporate flavors and break-down fruits for a smoother sauce. Process in blender to break it down for the smoothest sauce. Yeild: ~2qts Just starting the sauce build over low heat: I didn't process the cherries before building the recipe, as I was counting on the sheer power of the Nija to break them down...worked out fine, but a low-power blender may yield as good of results: This is a fairly thick and slightly coarse-textured sauce...not thin and smooth by any means of measure: The key add-in ingredient after initial taste-testing: The end results: In review of the sauce, I wasn't totally satisfied with the overall flavor profile, though I'm my own worst critic. Upon serving the sauce for a different meal (only used a small amount for this PP smoke), my oldest daughter liked the sauce so much that I decided to give her the bulk of the leftovers for freezing in plastic containers (I can always make more, and she loves my creations). Some of the other kids thought it was great, too, while a couple didn't really comment much on it...so, it went down with mixed results, but mostly very good. The molasses added to the sauce helped to reduce the Italian sauce flavor I was getting, but didn't seem to completely remove it. That said, in future revisions of this recipe, I'll be leaning towards a couple Tbsp of white cider vinegar to add some extra tartness to the tart cherries...they didn't seem to carry that tart background flavor in the sauce as well as they do in the dry rub, and short of having a much deeper cherry flavor by increasing the cherry quantity, I think vinegar would be the ticket. I also would greatly reduce or omit the tomato in the sauce mixture...this should help increase the background of the red bells, cherries, blueberries, apple, etc. To go along with that notion, some adjustments in the spices could bring out a better balance, as transition these flavors from a dry rub to a liquid application does really change how some of the flavors carry themselves. As with all trial runs, there is room for adjustments. So, if you want to give it a whirl, look it over closer and see where you might want to start making modifications. Any questions come up, just give a shout. Now, if you've tried Hawg Heaven dry rub, you'll know what I mean when I say this is a unique flavor combination. Much of the natural sweetness and richness of the fruit-base you find in the rub is here in the sauce as well. With a little adjustment in the future, I think this sauce could be quite a treat...as is, maybe it's not for everyone (maybe for some, as is would be great). It's definitely a good base-line for someone to build into what suits their own personal preferences. If one would like to try a thin sauce with the flavors of the original rub, like a finishing sauce, then a splash of vinegar and omitting the tomato sauce while adding water would pretty much get you there...cut way back on the apple-sauce, as well...just thinking through my fingers here. ENJOY!!! May your smokes be plenty and your freezers be full!!! Eric

These two statements are utter rubbish and show you don't know what you are talking about
So, where is the rubbish?
all the projects which made Arduino famous will be fully adapted (or their authors will migrate) to Chipkit and other compatible boards - is happening already
1. I'm relating to realities in my zone (is all what it matters)
And expect more where speed is needed.
prices are already high
My post suggest progress to Arduino platforms (and that you can't ignore "the signs").
I'm yet to see a nice and free C compiler that works with PIC. It's not chance that Arduino is based on AVR...
Quote from: bubulindo on Jun 27, 2011, 03:41 pmI'm yet to see a nice and free C compiler that works with PIC. It's not chance that Arduino is based on AVR...This is at the heart of the Arduino's success. Until somebody comes up with PIC-GCC, PIC microcontrollers will never compete for the hearts and minds of hobbyists. And if PIC-GCC does arrive, it won't compete with AVR-Arduino, it will just be added to it. There will be PIC-based Arduino boards as well as AVR-based ones, and everybody will be happy.
Well - that's basically happened with the ChipKIT (I think that's right?) - based on the PIC32 line, with a gcc-based compiler for it.
QuoteSome quick Google shows the PIC32-gcc compiler from Microchip has a code size limitation of 64K?

For homebrew/standalone projects it's hard to pass up the advantages of a DIP chip for some users, like me.
It might be more accurate to say that Arduino actually refers to a big idea, of getting microcontroller technology into the hands of more people.
I am pretty excited that Digilent has ported over some basic Arduino tech (shields and software ideas), but I'm sure its going to suffer from the same thing that plagued the microcontroller before the Arduino came along: crappy support, and zero community.
I do hope the chipKIT gains some support and its users start showing off (and sharing) their projects, because a 32-bit processor is pretty darn cool.

Revisiting insulation resistance temperature correction
Insulation resistance (IR) testing is performed on rotating machines for several reasons including evaluation of condition, suitability for service and suitability for additional testing. IEEE Std 43-2000 provides the industry recommended practice. It is well established that there is an inverse exponential relationship between IR and winding temperature. For this reason, minimum acceptable values of IR after one minute are specified at a baseline temperature of 40°C to which test values are corrected for evaluation and/or comparison with previous measurements. When using IR data for trending, industry recommended practice is that subsequent tests be performed when the winding temperature is near the same temperature as the previous test to minimize correction inaccuracies. Topics discussed include:
- Why is IR temperature correction necessary?
- How is IR temperature correction performed?

Considering the Big Picture
- In the United States, No One is denied health care!
- The U.S. has the best health care in the world!
- The problem is not the QUALITY of health care it is the COST!
- By increasing the cost of providing health care to employers, they will be forced to cut costs, and jobs, in order to stay in business. That is why over a thousand waivers have been granted to large and medium-sized companies to date. The video at right explains the dilemma.
The choice that American citizens now face is:
- Do the American people want to turn over management of their health care to the Federal or State Governments and pay for health care through higher taxes, with all the loss of freedoms that entails?
- Are the American people willing to embrace the personal responsibility for managing their own health care and paying for their own health insurance, with all the freedoms that entails?

Vessel architectural imaging identifies cancer patient responders to anti-angiogenic therapy.
1] Department of Radiology and Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. [2] The Intervention Centre, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.
Measurement of vessel caliber by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable technique for in vivo monitoring of hemodynamic status and vascular development, especially in the brain. Here, we introduce a new paradigm in MRI termed vessel architectural imaging (VAI) that exploits an overlooked temporal shift in the magnetic resonance signal, forming the basis for vessel caliber estimation, and show how this phenomenon can reveal new information on vessel type and function not assessed by any other noninvasive imaging technique. We also show how this biomarker can provide new biological insights into the treatment of patients with cancer. As an example, we demonstrate using VAI that anti-angiogenic therapy can improve microcirculation and oxygen saturation and reduce vessel calibers in patients with recurrent glioblastomas and, more crucially, that patients with these responses have prolonged survival. Thus, VAI has the potential to identify patients who would benefit from therapies.

Homeowner Lynne Knowlton says the porch's hammock chair is one of the tree house's most popular spots. "It's a nice place to simply enjoy the surroundings all day long," she says.
In the kitchenette, details like the live-edge countertops and row of untreated wood cabinets reinforce the treetop setting in an authentic yet decorative way. To maximize storage, the island features open shelves on one side for keeping small appliances within easy reach.
The living area reflects Lynne's design brief of natural wood paired with white accents. The daybed can sleep two additional guests. Accessories – finds from garage sales and antiques stores – placed directly on the exposed framing give the space a finished feel while maintaining the rustic look.
An avid traveller, Lynne has spent a lot of time in Bali, where she found the banister that borders one side of the bedroom loft. "It's intricately hand made and was originally used as a gate on a Balinese fence," she says.
Lynne spends time at the kitchenette's bar area, which is accessible from inside and out. The countertop is made from reclaimed lumber, and it's a fun spot to serve drinks and savour the scenery.
The hammock offers shady respite on hot summer days.
Pendant lights, distressed furniture and breezy drapery transform the covered space beneath the tree house into an outdoor dining area. "It's a great place to eat dinner," says Lynne, noting that she bought the reclaimed wood table and chairs in Bali. "We also love to play board games here."
A side view of the tree house reveals a splash of red, visible on the right. "It's an adult-sized slide attached to the upper deck," says Lynne. "Tree houses are all about fun, and what's more fun than a slide?"
Echoing the tree house's kitchenette, the bathroom cabin features a live-edge countertop. "The detail on this piece is remarkable," says Lynne. The stone sink is another find from Bali.
In the bathroom cabin, the rustic wood scheme gets a contemporary complement from a metal walk-in shower. "The metal is simply roofing panels," says Lynne.
Positioned beneath one of the bedroom loft's windows, the bed sits on a cozy rug – a departure from the exposed barnboard floors downstairs. "Keeping cool summer mornings and evenings in mind, we thought guests would be more comfortable with a rug on the floor," says Lynne. "I love how it warms up the space and the tootsies!"

Two men were arrested in separate incidents on suspicion of trying to smuggle a combined 591 pounds of marijuana through the Port of Douglas.
On Sunday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers selected for inspection of a SUV driven by a 22-year-old man from Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico.
Officers said they found 113 packages of marijuana, weighing more than 215 pounds, stashed throughout the vehicle.
On Friday, officers referred a 32-year-old man from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico for further inspection of his pickup truck and found close to 376 pounds of marijuana.
The drugs were concealed in the cab's undercarriage and in front of the vehicle.
Both men were arrested and referred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
The marijuana and vehicles were seized.

Q. Ten years ago I experienced atrial fibrillation three times in one month. It never recurred until recently.
My wife has suggested that I should refrain from eating or drinking anything that contains caffeine. I dislike coffee but I do enjoy drinking good green tea. Does it contain caffeine? How about chocolate? Thanks for your advice.
A. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots in the upper chambers of the heart. That's why doctors try to reverse the arrhythmia or prescribe blood-thinning medicine.
Your wife's advice to avoid caffeine is common but unsubstantiated. One epidemiological study found no connection between caffeine consumption and the risk of atrial fib (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, March, 2005). An experiment in dogs suggested that caffeine might actually be beneficial (Journal of Electrocardiology, Oct. 2006).
Green tea and chocolate both contain much less caffeine than coffee. Moderate consumption should not pose a problem, but do check with your doctor.

The modern welfare state is a huge system of transfers from the better-off and the average to the needy - and now also to the not-so-needy whose incomes come right up to the average. Yes, tax credits now are received by family people with incomes as high as £20,000 a year.
For these people, the marginal rate of tax is about 70pc, because on top of ordinary taxes comes the means-tested claw-back of the tax credit at 37 pence for every extra pound earned. Such high marginal tax rates are now a serious drag on incentives to acquire new skills, essential for keeping people in work in the face of cut-throat competition from unskilled workers in poor countries.
The Basic Income Research Group thinks this is stupid: the right way to help people is to give them a "basic income" independently of what they otherwise earn. The key advantage is that it does not raise recipients' marginal tax rates to these ludicrously high levels.
The obvious disadvantage is that since the money is not means-tested it costs the taxpayer a great deal more. British governments have wrestled with this dilemma for as long as any of us can remember.
Before Gordon Brown, the Conservatives had decided, following the review in the 1980s by Norman Fowler, to concentrate benefits mainly on people with children and to means-test them strongly so that marginal tax rates were exceedingly high (close to 90pc) but only for people on rather low incomes: creating the "poverty trap".
Benefits for those in work were designed to give work incomes just a bit higher than unemployment benefits; hence there was also an "unemployment trap" in the sense that it was not really worth while to take a low-paid job.
On the other hand the tests for staying on unemployment benefits became steadily tougher, culminating in the Job Seeker's Allowance in the 1990s; this was intended to "force" people back to work, by simply denying benefits after a set period of time. The incentive to get work then becomes absolute, since there is no alternative.
The virtue of the Conservative system was that it got people back to work without having to bribe them; it then penalised skill-acquisition by very low-paid workers but these were relatively few in number (around half a million).
Nevertheless, these workers, few or not, were the most vulnerable to repeated spells of unemployment as their low-wage jobs would be constantly eroded by competition. The problem was that this system left them with no incentive to change.
Gordon Brown came in determined both to relieve poverty and to "make work worthwhile". He retained the Conservatives' tough approach to unemployment, renaming it "no fifth option". He also raised working people's benefits (as "tax credits") by up to 10pc, holding unemployment benefits constant.
This alone guaranteed that he would bring many more people into benefit and therefore the poverty trap, even retaining the Conservatives' means-testing formula.
But he went further and softened the means-test with the result we have seen above that people right up to average incomes now are caught in a poverty trap - now the Budget Report admits one and a half million will face "marginal rates over 60pc" (for which read 70pc or so).
The cost of Brown's tax credits is also a billion pounds or so higher than the Conservative system.
What might a Basic Income (BI) look like today? A good starting point is the unemployment support rates, calibrated to support a family just above the poverty level. Now give families in work whose earners are on the minimum wage enough to reach these amounts - since family costs depend on the numbers of children, the BI could be given per child, just as child benefit is.
No need to give them more since with "no fifth option" there is absolutely no need to bribe people back to work. The cost of enhanced child benefits would still be more than Gordon Brown's existing (£4 billion) system of tax credits - perhaps as much as 2 pence on the standard rate. Against this the family in work with BI would then face normal marginal tax rates - 30pc or so.
In a fully-employed economy with no fifth option the effect of such a small rise in tax rate on the average taxpayer's working behaviour is probably negligible; but the dramatic improvement in incentives, especially to train, at the bottom of the pay-scale could have a substantial effect on skills, productivity and urban prosperity.
Tempting? Yes, but perhaps not practical when taxes are already rising, to be poured fruitlessly into the NHS black hole.
Nevertheless, over time as real wages rise relative to unemployment benefits and employment spreads within the household, the cost will fall. Meanwhile, one could go part of the way by switching some of the Brown credits into child benefit.
The dependency culture afflicting our inner cities is caused by high marginal tax rates on honest effort and retraining, interacting with the untaxed gains from crime.
Eliminating those high tax rates on our poorest citizens by moving further to a toughly-calibrated Basic Income would not cure dependency; but it would remove one of its key ingredients.

This bracelet is made of alternating round 6mm and 9mm aquamarine gemstones embellished by sterling silver beads and bad caps. The aquamarine is so gorgeous! It is a translucent aqua blue.
The bracelet closes with a large sterling silver lobster clasp, and measures 7 1/2 inches (19cm) in length, and will fit an average sized wrist.
Aquamarine is March's birthstone. It is a blue variety of the mineral beryl (emerald is the green variety of beryl).
About sterling silver:
Sterling silver is an alloy consisting of a minimum of 92.5% silver (the other 7.5% is typically copper). I choose to use solid sterling instead of plated metal in my work because it is my experience that plating wears off. Properly cared for sterling silver lasts a lifetime.
