I can definitely hear some Nujabes influence here, although the dark piano thing going on here is completely original. Really amazing beat. Dark, brooding, serious, mature. It'd be pretty hard to spit a sex joke or a punchline over this.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Love it
btw @Cooldude
Nujabes died in a car accident in febuary of 2009
love the beat but yea i can see a lil nujabes in there
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Tell me..
Have you been inspired by Nujabes? An Japanese master of Hip Hop beats?
This beat reminds me of him.. He recently died of cancer.. Anyway; I am glad
people like you make music that have the possibility to inspire the whole world
for a better place to live on. Thanks.

NYPD costs rise as Wall Street protests continue
The police presence is a constant one at the protest, and one that comes with a price tag. The New York Police Department already has spent $1.9 million, mostly in overtime pay, to patrol the area near Zuccotti Park, where hundreds of protesters have camped out for several weeks. Though cold weather is on the way, protesters don't plan on leaving anytime soon. They're prepared to stay put for the long haul. That means the cops will continue to be out there, too.
That comes at a time when Mayor Michael Bloomberg has ordered citywide budget cuts.
"The bottom line is that people want to express themselves, and as long as they obey the laws, we allow them to," Bloomberg told reporters Monday when asked about the protesters' staying power. "If they break the laws, then we're going to do what we're supposed to do � enforce the laws."
Last week, Bloomberg ordered all agencies to prepare to cut expenses by a total of $2 billion during the next 18 months. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the budget cuts may cause the cancellation of a new class of police officers entering the academy in January.
Police officials would not comment Monday on whether the Occupy Wall Street protest would have any bearing on how the budget cuts would play out. A spokesman for Bloomberg declined to comment on any financial issues.
"We always prefer to not spend overtime, but again, this is a big, complex city, lots of things going on," Kelly said last week, describing the protesters' effect on the NYPD. "And we have to spend overtime for unplanned operations."
There are many events in New York City that require a police presence, like parades, said James Parrott, deputy director and chief economist for the Fiscal Policy Institute.
By comparison, it cost about $50 million for one week to secure the Republican National Convention in 2004, which included massive protests and other events around the city. The money was later reimbursed by the federal government, but so far there is no reason for the protest security to be paid for by anyone other than New York taxpayers.
"To some extent this sort of thing happens a lot in New York City," Parrott said. "$2 million in the context of a $66 billion annual budget is not a deal breaker."
The protesters say they're fighting for the "99 percent," or the vast majority of Americans who do not fall into the wealthiest 1 percent of the population; their causes range from bringing down Wall Street to fighting global warming. The movement gained traction through social media, and protests have taken place in several other cities nationwide.
On Monday, the Rev. Al Sharpton, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and rapper Kanye West made appearances at the park. A group of mothers also took small children downtown to teach them about the movement, calling themselves the "99 Percent School."
Several hundred protesters briefly marched through the Wall Street neighborhood Monday evening, honking horns and chanting.
"The banks got bailed out, we got sold out!" went one chant.
"All day, all week, occupy Wall Street," went another.
Police walked alongside the marchers as they traveled down Broadway, through Wall Street, down Beaver Street and up Broad Street.
In Boston, hundreds of college students marched through downtown Monday and gathered on Boston Common, holding signs that read "Fund education, not corporations." The protesters said they're angry with an education system they say mimics what they call the "irresponsible, unaccountable, and unethical financial practices" of Wall Street.
Early Tuesday morning, more than 50 members of Occupy Boston were arrested for trespassing after they refused to move from a site across the street from their encampment.
In New York, officers from the city's First Precinct are patrolling the area near Wall Street, and other squads help out as necessary, depending on the size and movement of the demonstrators. If the crowd seems to be growing on a particular day, the NYPD dispatches more officers to the area, Kelly said.
"We are down 6,000 police officers from where we were 10 years ago, so it's difficult to do any type of protracted operation with people who are working in their regular tour of duty," Kelly said.

text: I am extremely disgusted to find that the RAC told my 19 year old daughter that they would not recover her from the A1 late at night. The reason..... an object had fallen onto the carriageway and damaged a number of cars, so she would have to contact her insurance company because this is an 'accident'. Really? at 10.30 at night? From the side of the A1? I prefer to be an AA member, and would expect that if my car was dripping liquid from underneath that they would certainly come and assist me. Perhaps explaining honestly to the RAC what has happened was a mistake, and that lying about the circumstances is the way to go with them if you wish to be rescued!

Gully Foyle: From the 7100 review:
"The P7100's optical viewfinder coverage is roughly 80%. To the left you can see flash and AF confirmation lights and a diopter adjustment wheel.
It's a nice 'retro' touch but the LCD screen is bright and contrasty enough to be usable in most environments, and the restricted coverage means that its usefulness is limited for anything more critical than snapshots."
Canon G1X:
"Compared to the EVFs mentioned above and the viewfinders of digital SLRs it is very small and not that great to work with. It only covers approximately 80% of the frame and the camera's large lens barrel obstructs the bottom corner of the viewfinder at wide angle, making precise composing of an image almost impossible."
For all of you wanting to torture yourselves with that kind of crap, go ahead!
I say, good riddance to crappy OVFs.
I really disagree with this sentiment, and the dpreview opinion of optical viewfinders on this class of camera :)
Give me an optical viewfinder every time. No matter how restrictive it may be, it's 100% better than not being able to compose in bright and obstructive sunlight.
Just saying ;)
Beautiful shot, well done! Has a great picturesque, painterly quality about it.
Thanks JIM8EL. Yeah the HDR process really brings out the detail of those old buildings. The whole city is full of great shots waiting to happen.

Small- and large-stakes risk aversion: Implications of concavity calibration for decision theory
A growing literature reports the conclusions that: (a) expected utility theory does not provide a plausible theory of risk aversion for both small-stakes and large-stakes gambles; and (b) this decision theory should be replaced with an alternative theory characterized by loss aversion. This paper explains that the arguments in previous literature fail to support these conclusions. Either concavity calibration has no general implication for expected utility theory or it has problematic implications for all decision theories that involve concave transformations (utility or value functions) of positive money payoffs, which makes loss aversion irrelevant to the argument

text: Hi, Audi sell the rear lights for 80quid each, or can get from breakers for around 50quid each. I think its not a bad little upgrade, I like the look of the new ones (audi told me they are not LED).... Are they a straight swap? I've heard of an adaptor by kufatec or someone to make sure it don't cause any problems. I just wanted to know if anyone has it done and if it was a problem? On the cabrio they are the same shape and fitting. I'm just worried about the computer sensing defective lights when there isn't. Any advice welcome... Thank you

Hey, remember this:
Matt Cassel is 19-30 in his 49 career games with the Chiefs.
He is 15-9 in games where we ran the ball more than we threw it.
He is 1-1 in games where rushes and passes were equal. Rivers gifted us one win with a fumbled snap. We lost one other game where Ryan made Cassel cry.
However, in an NFL that is classified as a pass first league, he is 3-20 when we put the ball in the air more than we run it.
These games are - 2009 Steelers, 2009 Raiders, 2011 Vikings. The Chiefs have averaged 19.3 points in these wins. Gus threw 3 TD total.
Do you want to know what Alex Smith has done in the same circumstances?
He's 28-5-1 in games where there were more rushes than passes
He's 1-1 in games with the same number of rushes and passes
He's 11-35 when he's asked to throw more than the RBs run
And that is on a vastly more talented team, only one of those 5 losses with more runs has come since December 2006.

Issue No. 02 - October (1979 vol. 1)
pp: 83-97

An account is presented of the early years of a pioneering computer company, Engineering Research Associates, Inc. (ERA), which was formed in 1946 at St. Paul, Minnesota, with Navy encouragement. This company was merged into Remington Rand Inc., in 1952, as was Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation two years earlier. These mergers created the basis for what later became the Univac division of Sperry Rand Corporation, or Sperry Univac. ERA's technological contributions are discussed, along with the company's pre-merger growth and financing problems. There were post-merger problems, primarily of organizational integration, but solid groundwork was being laid for Sperry Rand's eventual success in the data processing industry.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 8 (UPI) -- Billy Bob Thornton has reportedly signed on to star in the new big-screen thriller "Eagle Eye," opposite Rosario Dawson, Anthony Mackie and Shia LaBeouf.
The production attracted attention earlier this week when LaBeouf, 21, was arrested for allegedly trespassing at a Chicago Walgreens just days before the film was slated to start shooting in the Windy City.
Directed by "Taking Lives" and "Disturbia" director D.J. Caruso, "Eagle Eye" is about two people framed as terrorists and forced to join a group plotting a political assassination, the Hollywood Reporter said.
Thornton, who has starred in "Mr. Woodcock," "Bad Santa," "Sling Blade" and "Pushing Tin," will play a hero in the new film, the trade paper said.

Sleek and sporty, the distinctive Volkswagen Scirocco coupé offers excellent performance coupled with plenty of practical elements – there's no compromise here.
This two-door model comes in a neat and tidy package, and its dynamic silhouette is instantly recognisable. The razor-thin grille stands in stark contrast to the body's wide rear, highlighting Volkswagen's bold design choices and astute attention to detail.
LED daytime running lights are an optional extra on some models. Choose from a host of bold colours to make it your own – ranging from bright reds to metallic blues. Select the GT Black Edition or R-Line Black Edition to add smart gloss black wheels.
The top build quality is evident at every turn in the cabin, resulting in a more relaxed ride for all. A carefully laid out interior features four deeply sculpted seats, which provide extra support. The driver's seat and thick-rimmed, leather-bound steering wheel are easily adjustable for your comfort.
The upgraded GT trim adds premium-feel Alcantara-suede upholstery, while the R-Line features plush leather seats. Whichever level you choose, you'll get a generous 312-litre boot capacity. Space increases to 1,200 litres when you fold down the back seats.
When it comes to performance, there's something to suit all driving styles and budgets. Four petrol engines and one diesel power the range. All units come with six-speed manual transmission, or you can opt for the Volkswagen's exceptional dual-clutch automatic gearbox if you prefer.
Petrol power starts with a 1.4-litre TSI with 123hp – it's speedy and efficient, hitting 60mph in less than 10 seconds and offering 52mpg combined fuel economy. The 178bhp 2.0-litre TSI is an even smoother performer. Volkswagen introduced the GTS special edition in 2016, bringing the 2.0-litre 217bhp petrol engine to the range. It races from 0-60mph in just 6.5 seconds, while returning up to 46mpg.
As for diesel options, 148bhp and 181bhp versions of the 2.0-litre TDI are available. These units achieve the best fuel economy.
The Scirocco passed the Euro NCAP safety crash test with the full five stars. Equipment includes a full set of airbags, stability control and active head restraints. You can also upgrade to dynamic chassis control and electronic differential lock – these are additional crash-prevention aids. All-round parking sensors that help you get into those tight spaces are also available.
The standard equipment level is high in all trims. Buyers can expect air conditioning, an infotainment system, multifunction steering and digital radio even in basic models. Satellite navigation and dual-zone climate control are optional extras

Clare Balding's war on TV sexists
BROADCASTING heroine Clare Balding says she routinely faces sexism in her career. Clare, 41, who became a national treasure following her confident presenting of the London Olympics, has admitted that she has found being a female in the industry a major challenge.
"You come across words all the time [in my industry] that are everyday sexism," she tells the Radio Times.
"I was described as competently bossy and bossily competent by a male journalist and I thought, 'Gosh, bossy is never used of a man.'
"A man would be called assertive or confident or quick or bright. That's why I think learning how your brain works is so important because five years ago that would have really upset me. Now I just think, 'Hmm, that's probably his failing, not mine. Move on.'"
You come across words all the time [in my industry] that are everyday sexism
And move on she certainly has. The presenter is going prime time, hosting BBC One's new Saturday night show Britain's Brightest. It features 24 contestants undergoing various mental challenges.
This appears to be something of a major coup for Clare, who feels an added sense of responsibility as one of only a few openly gay female broadcasters.
"Gay female national treasures are quite rare, I think. So we have a responsibility," she says.
"If just one gay person or parent of a gay child sees us and thinks maybe it's not so bad, you don't have to live your life in fear, that sexuality doesn't always need to be a struggle, then we have achieved something."

PSP folks -
This recently-published letter to the editor describes "characteristic constant groaning" in late-stage PSP. The authors, members of a top PSP researcher team in the UK, believe that the constant groaning is "often misinterpreted as due to pain."
They state: "We have seen this phenomenon in at least 4 patients in the last two years. All of them presented with constant groaning only when they were in the advanced stages having lost ambulation and being confined to a wheelchair (equal to stage V). This phenomenon is very distressing for their caregivers..."
Indeed, over the last 7 years that I've been learning about PSP, many, many caregivers report this symptom of constant groaning on the PSP Forum and elsewhere. Sometimes it's described as growling, moaning, or humming. I have read many guesses over the years as to why those with PSP do this including clearing the throat, warming up the throat before trying to speak, wanting to stay involved in the conversation, expressing a complaint about something, and comforting oneself.
My father (atuopsy-confirmed PSP) had what we called the "moanin' and groanin" symptom but it was NOT limited to late-stage PSP for him. He groaned for the last 18 months or so of his life. Sometimes it was very loud, and I'd ask him to keep it down a bit; he was able to adjust the volume. Or I'd put my hand back and forth over his mouth so that the sound alternated from loud to muffled; that would make Dad laugh and that stopped the moaning for a short while. Sometimes I'd moan along with him, and found it physically very hard to do for as long as he could do it for. For him, it started as a means of expressing a complaint. Later, it turned into something he did seemingly without a purpose. I'd call him the "ole groaner"; that would get a laugh (when he could laugh).
The authors state: "[The] groaning in PSP can be seen as analogous to other 'noise-making' phenomena which have been described in patients with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia and frontotemporal dementia, such as persistent screaming, perseverative vocalization, continuous chattering, muttering, etc., all together characterized as 'inappropriate vocalization, due to frontal lobe damage or interruption of subcortical circuits'. What makes this groaning so characteristic of PSP is the combination of the characteristic spastic-hypokinetic dysarthria with perseverative vocalization due to frontal disinhibition..."
I've only seen it briefly mentioned in one medical journal article a few years ago (also authored by members of the UK team). Now, this is quite a bit of attention given to one little-discussed symptom.

The present invention relates to a computer assisted method for the advanced design of bent parts of composite material and more particularly to a method that can be used to obtain the solid model of the bent part from the 2D mesh model using a CAD system.
In some fields of engineering there is a strong trend towards increasing the amount of parts made of composite materials, e.g. in the aeronautical field: wing skins, cover plates and sections of fuselage are parts that can be manufactured using composite materials.
The manufacturing processes for these parts basically comprise a stage of tape-laying, in which layers of a composite material such as prepreg, which is a mixture of fibre reinforcement and polymer matrix capable of storage, are placed in a suitably shaped mould/tool, and a stage of forming and curing.
The composite material may take various forms and in particular the form of a mesh. The composite material meshes are not placed randomly but are arranged in each area in a number and with an alignment of their fibre reinforcement, typically carbon fibre, determined according to the nature and magnitude of the forces that the part is going to withstand in each area. The difference in thickness between the different areas causes mesh fall-offs, which needs to be set up and represented in a mesh model.
The design of such parts is carried out by means of a complex process including stages of calculation, mesh model design and analysis of their producibility, with feedback loops when changes are made in any of these stages.
Specialist engineers in computing use computer programs to calculate the behaviour of the part under given loads, and design engineers use CAD systems for generating the mesh model, i.e. to define the location and contour of the component meshes of the laminate, based on the specifications of the laminate supplied by the calculation results.
Even with CAD system functionalities, the process of generating the aforementioned mesh models in CAD systems is a tedious proceeding involving a great deal of repetitive manual work, with the consequent risk of mistakes, especially in the case of bent parts where, with current tools, the solid model of the part is obtained from a 2D mesh model—corresponding to the flat laminate which has to be made by a process of forming and curing to obtain the final part—by means of a process in which the reference lines have to be bent on the flange surfaces, and the areas or plateaux of different thickness, both in the core and in the flanges, having to be manually distributed taking into account all the joins between plateaux and the bending radii, this process being tedious, long and repetitive.
The impossibility of automatically or semi-automatically obtaining the solid model of bent parts of composite materials with the currently available CAD systems from the 2D mesh model of the flat laminate which is obtained in the first stage of manufacture of the said parts, is a drawback that hinders the design processes for such parts.
The present invention is aimed at solving this drawback.
One object of the present invention is to provide a method for obtaining the solid model of a bent part of composite material from the 2D mesh model.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for obtaining the solid model of a complex part resulting from the assembly of several simple parts from the 2D mesh models of the simple parts in order to check that the stacking rules are met in the assembled set.
Another object of the present invention is to complement the CAD systems used in the design of composite material parts with software for automatically or semi-automatically obtaining the solid model of a bent part of composite material from the 2D mesh model.
In a first aspect, these and other objects are achieved with a method of designing a bent part of composite material using a computer assisted CAD system comprising the following stages:
In a preferred embodiment, the method is applied to a simple part of an aeronautical structure such as a spar with a C-shaped cross-section.
In another preferred embodiment, the method is applied to a complex part resulting from the assembly of several simple parts.
In a second aspect, the aforementioned objects are achieved with software that when it is executed on a computer together with a CAD system or included in it, it enables the automatic or semi-automatic execution of the various stages of the aforementioned method.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become evident from the following detailed description of the embodiments, illustrative of their object, together with the accompanying figures.
For a proper understanding of the present invention, the meaning of some of the terms used in this descriptive account are explained.
We shall now describe a preferred embodiment of the method forming the subject of this invention in relation to a C-shaped bent part comprising the following stages, all performed in a CAD system:
a) Obtaining the 2D mesh model of the part.
b) Generating the 3D outer surface of the part.
c) Generating the 3D mesh model of the part.
d) Generating the solid model of the bent part.
We describe these stages in detail below.
a) Obtaining the 2D Mesh Model of the Part
The 2D mesh model is obtained in a known way using tools available in CAD systems based on the references provided by basic geometry and the finite element data given by calculation.
The basic geometry data refer to the support surface of the pattern geometry and structural elements involved in the design process (surfaces, planes and curves). The calculation data are assigned to the model and the patterns will be obtained as a result after the design process.
Thus the 2D mesh model 11 shows a set of flat patterns 13 some of which will have to be bent in the second stage of manufacture of the bent part.
Once the 2D mesh model 11 has been defined, the pattern contour lines 17 that must be bent with respect to what we shall call the bending line 23, are identified, as shown schematically in
b) Generating the 3D Outer Surface of the Part
The 3D outer surface of the part on which the 3D mesh model will be supported is constructed using the available geometric data for the purpose, taking into account the method of manufacture of the part.
If a male tool 33 is used as depicted in
If a female tool 37 is used as depicted in
Between the lines to be bent there are areas where the thickness of the laminate may be different. In the case of working with a male tool it is necessary to determine the thickness for modelling the surface with the corresponding variation in radii. The calculated thickness will be added to the minimum radius determined by the tool.
c) Generating the 3D Mesh Model of the Part
Once the 3D surface 19 has been obtained, the contour lines previously identified by the corresponding bending line 23 are bent.
As shown in
These contour lines 17′, 17″, 17′″ must be bent as shown schematically in
The process of bending each contour line 17 comprises the following steps:
The result of this stage, as illustrated in
d) Generating the Solid Model of the Bent Part
Based on the 3D mesh model 51 and as illustrated in
In the preferred embodiment that we are describing, the method forming the subject of the present invention has been used for generating the model of a C-shaped simple part such as a spar of an aeronautical structure, but as the expert in the matter will well understand, the method is applicable to any flat-designed composite material part with flat tape-laying and subsequently bent at the forming stage to acquire the desired final shape.
The method is also applicable to a complex part such as that shown in
The method can be implemented by means of software additional to the CAD tool used (e.g. CATIA) that includes specific code for the automation of those stages of the method not covered by the CAD tool used and for providing the interfaces with the CAD tool in those stages that need it.
Those modifications that are included within the scope of the following claims can be introduced into the developed preferred embodiment.

Engineer Vs Doctor
An Engineer was unemployed for a long time. He could not find a job so he opened a medical clinic and puts a sign up outside: "Get your treatment for $500, if not treated get back $1,000."
One Doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to earn $1,000 and goes to his clinic. Doctor: "I have lost taste in my mouth."
Engineer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor: "This is Gasoline!" Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
The Doctor gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later to recover his money. Doctor: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Engineer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor: "But that is Gasoline!" Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
The Doctor leaves angrily and comes back after several more days. Doctor: "My eyesight has become weak."
Engineer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for this. Take this $1,000."
Doctor: "But this is $500…"
Engineer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."

Peace was for little girls. And Coalition starship admiral Brit Bandar was one tough woman. A mere intergalactic treaty could never get her to trust the Drakken Horde. There was too much bad blood between the Coalition and the Horde and, for intensely personal reasons, Brit wasn't sure that she was through spilling it! But now a peaceful accord had made Finn Rorkken, a notorious Drakken rogue, second in command on her starship, and - through some grand cosmic irony - front and center in her thoughts... and her heart.
Warleader. Pirate. Either title sat easily on Finn's battle-hardened shoulders. Though second in command to "Stone-Heart" Bandar? That one would take some getting used to. Peace required as much sacrifice as war so he'd comply even if his reaction to the gorgeous admiral fell decidedly outside protocol. But would he end up kissing or killing her if the galaxy's tentative truce turned into all-out war?

"Slow Start, but Quickly Got Better"
During the first hour or so of listening to this book I was afraid I wasn't going to like it very much. The narration seemed a bit too dramatic and over the top. The heroine is a starship admiral, a rather hard woman, and I didn't really find that appealing. As the book progressed however, the book got more exciting the the heroine loosened up little by little and started to grow on me. The hero appealed to me from the start. He was a strong leader but able to relinquish control, and seemed to be primarily concerned with the well being of others.
Some science fiction can move along almost too quickly, or introduce so many "new" gadgets, gizmos or concepts that it's sometimes hard to make sense of it all. This book kept the tech stuff pretty simple, but was action packed and well paced. I wouldn't recommend it for hard core science fiction fans, but I would recommend it for romance readers looking for something a bit different.
"Blah , boring and predictable."
Save your credits and skip this one. The narrator was good but the storyline not so much

Has anyone ever suffered from a Social Phobia or Social Anxiety Disorder?
Asked by Shippy (9870) November 16th, 2012
This is for a friend of mine, I think this is the one phobia out of all the others I have, that I don't suffer from.
If you would be so kind as to share the following:
What type of help did you seek? Did it work for you? What things or thoughts stopped you from seeking help initially? (Or perhaps you never did?). I'd really appreciate some feedback on this, as I really want to assist this friend of mine. Much appreciated.

42 Series Fan Coil Units Application Data Control Selection Guide for Fan Coil Air Conditioners Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations. Book 3 PC 201 Catalog No. 514-203 Printed in U.S.A.
CONTROL SELECTION GUIDE ....3 STANDARD WIRING PACKAGES ... . 4-8 Manual Fan Control ......4 Thermostatic Fan Control, 2-Pipe Systems .
Use this guide to make sure that all necessary components are provided for and that the components are compatible with the required control system. NOTE: When thermostatic fan control is selected or when unit outside air dampers are used, unit-mounted thermostats are not recommended as their use will result in poor room temperature sensing.
STANDARD WIRING PACKAGES IMPORTANT: Wiring diagrams shown depict typical control functions. Refer to unit wiring label for spe- cific functions. Manual Fan Control — On all Vertical Cabinet units, the standard fan-speed switch is furnished unit-mounted and wired. On all Vertical Furred-In units and all Horizontal units, the switch is shipped separately on a decorative wall plate for field mounting and wiring.
Thermostatic Fan Control, 2-Pipe System with Safety Cycle — This control is used for high humidity situations in which condensate problems can occur if fan is turned off while chilled water is still running through the coil. The wiring provides fan cycling from HIGH to LOW on the cooling cycle and from LOW to OFF on the heating cycle.
STANDARD WIRING PACKAGES (cont) Thermostatic 2-Pipe Auxiliary Electric Heat with Valve Control — This system, also called Twi- light or Intermediate Season electric heat, goes a long way towards solving the spring and fall control problems of 2-pipe systems. You can run chilled water late into the fall, turn it on early in the spring and still have heat available to all units when- ever required.
Thermostatic 2-Pipe Total Electric Heat with- Valve Control — With this system, the complete heat- ing requirement for the space is provided by the electric heater; the water system is never changed over for heating. It is there- fore possible, just as with 4-pipe systems, to have heating or cooling at any time of the year.
STANDARD WIRING PACKAGES (cont) Thermostatic Valve Control, 4-Pipe — system provides the ultimate in economy and room tem- perature control. Both hot water and chilled water are avail- able at any time. Normally an automatic changeover thermostat is used, but a manual changeover thermostat is also suitable.
ELECTRIC HEAT Application — Electric heaters are available for in-stallation on Carrier fan coil units in the following applications. TOTAL ELECTRIC HEAT — This system provides com- plete heating during the heating season; no boiler is re- quired. Heating and cooling are now available on an indi- vidual basis throughout the year with a 2-pipe system.
REMOTE-MOUNTED CONTROLS Standard 3-Speed Switch — has 4 positions: OFF, HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW. Switch has auxiliary contact that is energized when switch is in HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW position. Some of the options common with the 3-speed switch are: 1.

All commentary appreciated. I'm definitely aware that width, rocker, thickness & fin are very significant factors. I'm not quite that green. They suggested 9'8"-10, 22 7/8, 2 7/8, and the Dead Sleds all have a pretty good tail kick with minimal nose rocker. I'm leaning 9'6" to 9'8". Good point that one tank is enough. It's the truth.

Don't be swayed by those here telling you to go down to 9'6".
I'm 5'9" x 140" and I ride a 9'6" x 22 3/4" x 2 15/16".
You should go much bigger since you are so tall / heavier.
I would even lean towards the longer end of the scale since I feel that christensons are pretty thinned out and he likes riding 11' plus boards himself- meaning he favors length and that will trickle down to all his designs. For instance, I feel his fish isn't the best design because he is a 'length' shaper and he simply can't make a drivey board that is short.
Plus- his whole team is skinny hipsters, and they ride 9'7"s
If I were you I would go 9'10"-10'1" like they said, but wider and thicker like 23"-23 1/2" x 3 3/16"

I gotta disagree with you on your physics but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. IMO, the length will definitely help a noserider. I think the others are right that most boards are <9'6" because it's more economical to make them that way.
A lever needs a fulcrom to function. If the OP is 195lbs and we can assume that the fulcrom will be the water behind his back foot (or somewhere close) so he will be on the short end of the lever when on the nose allowing the long end to be covered up with more water. This will let the force applied to the back of the board be equal or greater than the riders weight allowing for a noseride.
The reason a noserider should have a big fin is to stop the tail from sliding down the face and allowing the wave to break on top of the board putting down more force on the tail and lifting the guy on the nose.
Just my thoughts, there aren't any letters after my name.

I'm no noserider, but I would think that board width, board weight, rocker flow, foil flow, concaves, rail characteristics, fin details and probably some things I'm forgetting would all make more impact on how a board noserides than the four inch difference in length between a 9'4" and a 9'8". So much so that a capable shaper could make a 150 pound or a 190 pound customer a perfectly good noserider in any length in that range, and a little ways outside that range as well.

Did you ever end up getting the dead sled and if so how do you like it

Finally I think my brain has recovered from the 20+ hours I spent in the classroom over the weekend enough for me to sit down and really put some thoughts out there for my readers. If you notice I didn't put review in the title. I don't think a review would do this class justice. That would be like me saying I want to write a review for my first time skydiving. It is an experience. I can describe it to you and give you brief points about it here and there but I believe everyone's experience leaving a MAG-20 will be different which is why I will only give you my final thoughts on it. That may sound strange for most people but until you take the class you won't truly understand.
The class was held in Twinsburg Ohio and was hosted by Paul Carlson and Safety Solutions Academy. The class was held at the Hilton Garden Inn in one of their conference rooms. It was very convenient to come right down from the room and not have to go anywhere plus the staff kept the coffee, tea, water, and Chex Mix coming. For this type of class it was a great fit. The conference room was the perfect size to host 22 students and all the audio video equipment. We had a little problem with a DVD player at the end of day one but Paul sorted it out and everything was ready to go by the second day. (By the way keep your eyes on the Safety Solutions Podcast for a post class interview between Paul and Mas)
After we got settled in on Friday I posted up a little info on the Citizen's Rules of Engagement class so you can check out the links there. Class started at 8:30 on the dot Saturday with a brand new ball point pen and from that moment on it was massive amounts of knowledge being tossed into your face. The weekend ended with a dead ball point pen and 38 pages of hand written notes. The amount of information was amazing.
Now I know you are sitting there wanting me to start into what information was covered and give a good outline of the class. As I started todays post I said this is an experience and everyone gets something different out of it. I walked away from this class realizing that everyone that takes carrying a gun seriously needs to take this class for the simple fact that nobody teaches every stage of an encounter as well Massad Ayoob.
Let's think about the three sides of an armed encounter real quick. First you have the pre event, the moments leading up to the fight of your life. Next is the fight. Finally we have the post encounter. The MAG-20 class covers all three stages of the event in serious depth. You might survive the encounter only to loose your life in court afterwards because you were sufficiently prepared to handle the aftermath. So many people out there teach for the events leading up and even more teach the how to fight portion, but nobody teaches the after the shoot like Mas.
Obviously there are aspects of the class that are respectfully asked to keep off the internet and I will not be the one to break that trust. I will say for those who are planning on taking a MAG-20 that I felt very prepared from reading some of Massad's books. One of the most beneficial ones in my opinion was "In the Gravest Extreme" which is a relatively short read with a ton of information.
Again I think that everyone serious about carrying a gun in self-defense needs to take this class. This class packs so much information into the 20 hours that it feels like you are drinking from a fire hose. The one surprising thing I walked away with is looking at the value of life in a new whole new light. I realized that often when you are busy looking for bad things you sometimes miss the good things in life. I realized also why I carry a gun everyday. The gun isn't just for me, it is for everyone that depends on me. I owe it to my family to be here for them. I'm no good to them if I am a fancy box six feet under the ground. I am also not any good if I'm in a jail cell because I didn't know how to properly handle the aftermath of defending my life. That reason is exactly why I feel this class was worth every cent and that everyone who carries a gun needs to take this class.
Head over to the Facebook page and give it a like. While you are there make sure you swing by Valkyrie Defense Group and like that page also. We are getting our warm weather class schedule sorted out and dates are going quickly so if you are planning on jumping into one of our Concealed Handgun classes or one of our advanced pistol classes get with us and find out what dates we have open.

Delays related to water pipes, power lines and a new stoplight have postponed construction of Escondido's first Walmart, but the developer coordinating the project said last week that he expects the discount retailer to break ground by October and open the store in fall 2013.
The long-awaited store has been hailed by city officials as a sales tax boon and an economic catalyst for East Valley. It will be built on an 11-acre vacant parcel behind the East Valley Parkway Home Depot on Grand Avenue.
When the city approved a sales-tax sharing agreement with Walmart and the owner of the site in June 2011, officials said the store was expected to open this summer.
But Jim Crone, the developer, said a variety of obstacles have delayed the project by more than a year. However, he also said nearly all of the problems have been overcome and that Walmart took possession of the site July 8.
"I just reviewed Walmart's last plan check, and it looks like they're getting ready to pull papers," said Crone, who has been coordinating the deal as a representative of property owner Norm LaCaze.
Crone said the most difficult challenge has been working with the San Diego County Water Authority, which has a large water line running beneath the site that could be damaged by construction.
Other challenges have included rerouting a gas line, installing a water line for the Walmart store that runs from Ash Street to Home Depot, installing a stoplight at Harding Street and Grand, and moving a San Diego Gas & Electric "feeder" line for the Escondido Village mall and the Home Depot/Albertsons complex, Crone said.
The need for much of the work stems from the plan to build Walmart on vacant land just north of the Escondido Union School District's defunct headquarters. Many utility lines run along the front of the building where Walmart will be constructed, denying access to those lines for utility workers. So the lines must be moved, Crone said.
He also said each part of the project has required analysis and approval by outside consultants, slowing the process.
Despite the delays, City Councilman Mike Morasco said last week that merchants in the East Valley Parkway area remain extremely upbeat about the project, which is expected to increase vehicle trips to the area and boost foot traffic in nearby plazas.
"People look at this as being a magnet," said Morasco, who operates a physical therapy clinic in the area. "You don't hear people worried Walmart is going to take some of their business. They will make do if they lose any customers, because the net effect will be positive with the extra foot traffic."
City officials have also said they expect to benefit greatly from the $400,000 to $500,000 per year in sales-tax revenue that Walmart is expected to generate. It will be the second "big box" retailer to open in the city within two years, following a new Target store slated to open this October at Westfield North County mall.
The city agreed last year to give back up to $750,000 of the sales tax generated during the store's first five years to cover the road extension and related costs. That money will go to LaCaze, who paid to extend Harding Street past Home Depot to Grand this year.
While proposals to build Walmarts face stiff opposition in many communities, Escondido officials and residents have consistently supported the idea.
City officials have said Walmart will fit perfectly with Escondido's relatively low-income demographics because it's a discount store. Many city residents now travel to the San Marcos Walmart, providing that city with sales-tax revenue instead of Escondido.
Walmart was poised to build a 140,000-square-foot store on this site in 2003, but a non-compete clause in the lease agreement of a nearby supermarket derailed that deal. To avoid such problems this time, Walmart plans to build a 94,000-square-foot store that won't include grocery sales.
The site was occupied by the school district until November 2007, when district officials left for a new administrative complex north of the city's auto park.

The suspect believed to have shot and killed a Washington state park ranger with ties to New Jersey was found dead in the vicinity after a day-long manhunt in the 368-square-mile Mount Rainier National Park, authorities said.
Margaret Anderson, a 34-year-old mother of two who graduated from a New Jersey high school, was shot to death after a New Year's Day traffic stop in the park.
Authorities said Monday afternoon they discovered the body of suspected shooter Benjamin Colton Barnes in the snow in a drainage ditch in the park. Officials believe Barnes succumbed to the elements, but a medical examiner must determine the official cause of death.
Authorities believe Barnes, a 24-year-old war veteran with "survivalist skills," had camped out with weapons somewhere in the national park and closed down the area as they searched for him in the hours after the shooting.
A parks spokesman said Barnes was an Iraq war veteran, and the mother of his child had alleged he suffered from post-traumatic stress and suicidal thoughts following his deployments. In an affidavit related to an ongoing custody dispute, she also said Barnes kept an arsenal of weapons at home.
Anderson was born in Canada but grew up in Connecticut and Westfield, N.J. Her neighbors and childhood friends recall her as a self-assured woman who enjoyed life and always seemed to have a laugh in her voice.
She also took her commitment to law enforcement quite seriously.
"Her job was to make sure the parks were safe," Anderson's childhood friend Kim Fahey told NBC New York. "She never talked to me about being afraid, but she definitely talked about it being dangerous."
On Sunday, it turned deadly. Park spokesman Kevin Bacher said at about 10:20 a.m. Barnes sped past a checkpoint to make sure vehicles have tire chains, which are sometimes necessary in snowy conditions.
One ranger began following him while Anderson, who was married to another Mount Rainier park ranger, eventually blocked the road to stop the driver.
Before fleeing, the gunman fired shots at both Anderson and the ranger that trailed him, but only Anderson was hit, Bacher said. Anderson would've been armed, as she was one of the rangers tasked with law enforcement, Bacher said.
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said she was shot before she had even exited the vehicle.
A SWAT team was able to remove Anderson's body from the mountain late Sunday night, with a procession of law enforcement vehicles escorting her remains away.
Park superintendent Randy King said Anderson had served as a park ranger for about four years. King said Anderson's husband also was working as a ranger elsewhere in the park at the time of the shooting.
Anderson graduated from Westfield High School in New Jersey in 1995 and studied fisheries and wildlife biology at Kansas State University before going into the parks service.
"It's just a huge tragedy — for the family, the park and the park service," King said of her death.
Anderson's death is also a massive loss for the friends with whom she grew up in New Jersey.
"She's a faithful person; she's a really generous person," Fahey said. "Whenever I was a talking with her she was always putting others before herself."
Barnes opened fire on Anderson after fleeing a New Year's Eve house party south of Seattle where he is believed to have shot four other people, police said.

Activist calls for global action against T&T
As La Brea residents lined roadways to protest the continued effects of last December's oil spill, Greenpeace International activist Mike Singh called for an international movement against T&T over the environmental disaster. Accompanied by the Oilfields Workers' Trade Union on Monday, Singh met with La Brea residents and members of the Highway Re-route Movement (HRM) at Coffee Beach, where oil-stained rock and leftover oil booms remain an eyesore.
Despite claims that residents still suffer from rashes, nausea, diarrhoea and chest pains, visitors to Queen's Beach and Carat Shed beach continue to swim in the water. Walking through the area, Singh said, "This is a crime being perpetrated by Trinidadians against Trinidadians. This has nothing to do with politics, this has nothing to do with race, colour, creed or class. This has to do with the basic assault on the environmental rights of poor people, who use the sea for their daily sustenance and for their daily survival."
He said if Petrotrin were under sanction by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there would have been grave consequences. However, because Petrotrin and the investigating agencies were government entities, he said, there was unlikely to be any fair compensation. He said Petrotrin's board should be replaced, just as the board of directors at First Citizens had been.
"I am dumbstruck by the fact that so many thousands of barrels of oil continuously leaked into this Gulf of Paria, which is not only Trinidad's water, but also Venezuela's. The currents go south, so we are also concerned about the long-term implication of this marine damage for the waters of north-western Guyana.
"What has gone on here would not be permitted in any self-respecting society. In the United States, the EPA would have already shut down Petrotrin and the leaders of Petrotrin would have been arrested and thrown into some dark dungeon somewhere. "Because the perpetrators of this crime against the environment are those who rule, [and] the leaders of justice are one and the same, I have no confidence that you're going to get a fair legal redress in the courts of this country.
"This, based on what I have seen, based on what I have read, based on what has been shared with me, constitutes a legitimate cause for an international environmental movement against this country. Because it is not only restricted to your waters, it has gone internationally into the gulf and as such, even Venezuela can become party to any potential international litigation." Singh arrived in T&T on Sunday night at the invitation of local Greenpeace representative Judith de Verteuil. His trip was sponsored by the OWTU.
Singh said he will embark on a fact-finding mission, as the activist group is considering launching a chapter in T&T. During his seven-day visit, he is expected to meet with those affected by the oil spill, with the HRM over the Debe to Mon Desir leg of the San Fernando to Point Fortin Highway, and with the Save Our Green Space Committee (SOGSC) in relation to the Orange Grove Savannah in Tacarigua.
He said since December 17, he had catalogued all local and international articles on the oil spill, which he later presented to Greenpeace International executive director Kumi Naidoo. He also announced that he will participate in the Joint Trade Union Movement's "Mother of All Marches" on Friday.
Roget repeats: It's a cover-up
Describing the oil spill as a tragedy of enormous proportions, OWTU president general Ancel Roget said Petrotrin's board and Energy Minister Kevin Ramnarine were being supported by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar in trivialising the disaster. "There is cover-up involved simply because there are people in high places who wanted to protect themselves. "This thing goes right up to the minister and certainly, it is correct to say the board is culpable and the senior management is culpable in that regard," Roget said.
Roget said an unspeakable level of disrespect was being meted out to La Brea residents. Leading the placard protest yesterday by the La Brea Environmental Protectors Organisation, La Brea MP Fitzgerald Jeffrey said Petrotrin and the Government had been tardy in compensating oil-spill victims.
He said people in the area still complain about ailments and are calling on the Government to implement a health programme to monitor the long-term health effects caused by exposure.

i would have taken nikko over anthony or scott. i think he is a better singer and performer than both of them. but, no i didn't vote, so i cannot really complain!

I am thinking that Nikko can probably get a record deal now. And he doesn't have to go on the Idol Tour.
Trying to be positive, haha.
Too bad they decided to do a 6-6 split, men to women. Nikko (and Yes, I did vote for him, many times) should be there instead of Lyndsay or Mikalah. Should've been 7 (or 8) men, 5 (even 4) women, in my opinion.
I do believe Scott is a good singer, and Constantine in the Top 12 isn't surprising considering his stage presence, so I don't think a man should have given up a space for Nikko. Just one of the women.
However, that said, if a person can't pull enough votes at this stage of the competition, they should not be there. This is a competition about selling records, let's not forget. If the public is not behind you, it doesn't matter HOW good of a singer you are: I'm sure there are hundereds (maybe even thousands) of extremely talented people out there with great voices, who will never get noticed/get a record deal (and, well, frankly many who wouldn't bother or are too old to enter this competition, too) At least Nikko had this opportunity. I wish him good luck. Truly.
Love many, trust a few, and always paddle your own canoe
I do not think he should of went home last night.He sings better than Scott did.Scott should have been the one on the plane home.
I don't get where everyone says that Constantine has stage prescence. I don't see it. I see the same stuff at a high school battle of the bands. Nikko had stage presence (especially with let's get it on).....overall, he was a top 3 guy for me....I'm amazed he got booted.
Nikko ... major talent ... major loss .... he should have been Top 12.
Completely agree. Nikko does NOT need American idol. He seems like the type that writes his own music. Anyways, just because you are quiet and don't jump around the stage does not mean that you will not make it in the music business. Look at all those R&B singers and Rap artists out there today.Originally Posted by soybean
You are not the only one -- I don't see it either. When Nikko performed, I felt the energy. I did not feel any energy though from Constantine or Scott's performance.Originally Posted by MattyBravo
Get Fantasia's self titled CD, in stores now!!!
Well I can't vote more than the whole two hours and that is what I did for him :rolleyesOriginally Posted by JonasGrumby

I am a little shocked that Nikko did not make it through last night. I did'nt vote for him so I guess I can't complain to much, but I am really shocked that Scott made it through.
