I have this one too. A must have if you own a carbon framed bike imo.
Adelaide Community Bicycle Workshop has a torque wrench people can borrow - just turn up with your bike, any Saturday 9-12, no charge. 34 Long Street Plympton.
Hi All,
I use the below, had no problems and does everything I need it to do.
Hope this helps,
For those wishing to calibrate a torque wrench, it can be done accurately at home. With a suitable driver, such as a male square drive fitted in the wrench, clamp the square drive in a vice so that the torque wrench is in the horizontal position, Then, at the other end ( usualy a knob of some sort ), hang a weight of a known value, which would be equal to a particular torque load. The weight to be used that is equal to a given newton metre value can be found by Googling that conversion.
The above may sound a bit involved, but it really is quite simple, and is basically the same as is done in mechanical engineering works.
As a matter of interest, in the aircraft industry, the answer to the question of "how often is a torque wrench calibrated"? The answer is " before use" !
Sounds like the same LAME's who serviced a Sikorsky S92 that had to make an emergency landing an hour out Broome WA en route from an offshore oil rig I was working on. Three of the four bolts holding the cover on an oil filter just below the rotors sheared off mid flight. The cover was hanging on by one bolt when they put the chopper down on land having just flown for an hour over water. The main rotor gear box also dumped its contents over the tail boom of the aircraft...luckily the gear boxes on these machines are military rated and can run for a bit without oil in them.
Not this bloke - - 15 years RAAF
The before use requirement means before EVERY use.
Adelaide Community Bicycle Workshop - 34 Long St Plympton - has a torque wrench for cyclists to borrow .

"Bring your earplugs"
Each night, noise from drunk, shouting students awoke us.

"We loved this place!"
We were not sure what to expect, but the Conwell Inn proved to be just delightful. Nice and quiet - though fully booked, we didn't cross paths with a single other guest. Great college feel, being right on campus...and the kids weren't rowdy, teenage punks - they were students! Easy 2 blocks to the subway. Room was spotless. (Only thing - it was supposed […] to have a queen bed - had a double and a single instead. No biggie - we fit.) Front desk staff was fabulous! They guarded our luggage while we went to the game after checking out. Matthew found us a new TV remote when ours didn't work at 2 a.m. Upon checking in, we requested a fridge; within 5 minutes, Bree carried it up herself. Also, she seemed to be the only person in town who could direct us to a liquor store. (It's at the Allegheny stop on the SEPTA Broad St. line, BTW. Don't wander too far south from the Cecil B. Moore stop - the neighborhood gets less charming.) Overall, we were amazed at what a quaint little find the Conwell Inn was. No complaints, and we'll definitely go back!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Conwell. Probably the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in (I actually was able to sleep, without building a futon out of bedspreads).

The hotel is next door to the campus police […] station, so security was not an issue, at least on campus, and there is a 7-11 next door to the hotel, as well. There were only two things I could say that are negative: 1) the WiFi was very poor (and the building made phone service and air-card service problematic as well); 2) they really should publish the "old" address (1331 West Berks Ave.), without which, my GPS (TomTom) took me into some very sketchy neighborhoods, and an hour out of the way (with the Berks address, went right to it.

"Nella media"
Hotel che si trova all'interno della templi university, nella media, stanza grande, bagno piccolo. Qualità del sonno: bassa, nel senso che la nostr finestra dava proprio sul viale principale e sotto c'erano dei locali per cui se riposare di pomeriggio non è possibile. Parcheggio 15$ ma è possibile anche parcheggiare in strada, attenzione ai cartelli! […] Abbiamo chiesto il check in anticipato ma la camera c'è l'hanno data alle 15.30! Era previsto per le 15.00. Il quartiere e' un po' degradato ma vicino l'hotel c'è la metro. Comunque è consigliabile avere la macchina. Ultima nota: Philadelphia non merita più di mezza giornata.

AutoPatcher is Confused
Posted 24 August 2013 - 07:24 PM
What AutoPatcher was trying to do
It appears that the error occured while AutoPatcher was trying to initialize the form's screens.
Where: frmMain.Form_Load() At line 108
Error Code: 0x1AE: Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface
I have no idea what that means, hope you do.
Posted 25 August 2013 - 11:49 PM
Read this... http://www.autopatch...dpost__p__19072
See if that post doesn't solve your problem.

Although I did encounter an error message that popped up a couple of times while the modules were loading...
"Subscript out of range in VersionCompare at line 114"
I just OK them and it continued. Not sure if that is of any concern or not.

Posted 02 September 2013 - 02:48 PM
Line 114 converts a character number into numeric value. The numbers 1234 read here are actually characters unless read in as a number. That line reads the numbers and converts them to the numeric equivalent. Say there was 12abc34 in there though, it would fail.

"Permission denied in prjUpdater.mdlShellExecute.executeCommand at line 116"
Also I should probably mention that during the install one of the updates generates a large popup window that contains instructions for using a bunch of different switches that can be used with whatever is being executed. I have discovered that this "Setup" window is being generated by the KB2807986 module.
And, If I run the AutoPatcher again it still shows all of the modules regarding Windows Media 9 as having not yet been installed. So even if they did get installed successfully AutoPatcher is not detecing them as so.

More like hairline scratches and I'm not really a stickler for this but I'm certainly disappointed, why can't they have put the guitar in a protective plastic or at least maybe a thin layer of film over it? I'm not going to return the guitar because of this but I'm certainly disappointed.

Memory Mapped I/O Trace
Mmiotrace is a toolbox for tracing memory mapped I/O access within the kernel. It can be used to record how a driver module uses MMIO reads and writes, for reverse engineering and debugging. For reverse engineering, you will need to have the proprietary driver, but it can also be useful for debugging the nouveau driver itself.
The supported architectures are x86 and x86_64, they both seem to be pretty stable. If you need help, you can try to ask on #nouveau IRC channel on Freenode.
Developers and analysts might be interested in MmioTraceDeveloper and old debugging notes in MmioTraceDebugging. The user space tools (for analysts) are mentioned in MmioTraceDeveloper.
- timestamped events
- a mechanism to inject markers into the log while tracing
- no kernel patching
- collect block-reads/writes in mmio-parse
- use register names (Rules-ng) The modern format of an mmiotrace log is described in MmioTraceLogFormat.
The latest kernel (or at least 2.6.29) is the recommended one, if you can choose.
Mmiotrace is in the kernel, no need to fetch or patch anything extra. Please read the instructions in the file Documentation/trace/mmiotrace.txt
or Documentation/trace/mmiotrace.txt in your kernel source tree. No special programs are needed to record the output. If you want to trace binary Nvidia drivers you might want to read Ubuntu X/MMIOTracing guide.
Submitting results
If you want to send mmio-trace dumps to us, please send them to mmio dot dumps at gmail dot com. Please, pack into a compressed archive the trace file and a free description about what you do during the trace. The output of lspci
is already included in the trace file, but do add the output of uname -a
and the driver version into your description. Tell also what display connectors you have, what kind of monitors you have connected to what outputs, whether it has tv-in/out, and what display mode you used. The name of the archive file should contain the PCI id and GPU family, or the commercial name of your card. Thank you.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate the level of phosphorus in your blood and to aid in the diagnosis of conditions known to cause abnormally high or low levels
When to Get Tested?
As a follow-up to an abnormal calcium level; when you have a kidney disorder or uncontrolled diabetes; when you are taking calcium or phosphate supplements
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or a timed urine collection (usually a 24-hour sample)
Test Preparation Needed?
Overnight fasting may be required for a blood sample; follow any instructions that you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Phosphorus is a mineral that combines with other substances to form organic and inorganic phosphate compounds. The terms phosphorus and phosphate are often used interchangeably when talking about testing, but it is the amount of inorganic phosphate in the blood that is measured with a phosphorus/phosphate test. Phosphates are vital for energy production, muscle and nerve function, and bone growth. They also play an important role as a buffer, helping to maintain the body's acid-base balance.
Phosphorus comes into the body through the diet. It is found in many foods and is readily absorbed by the intestines. About 70% to 80% of the body's phosphates are combined with calcium to help form bones and teeth, about 10% are found in muscle, and about 1% is in nerve tissue. The rest is found within cells throughout the body, where it is mainly used to store energy.
Normally only about 1% of total body phosphates are present in the blood. A wide variety of foods, such as beans, peas and nuts, cereals, dairy products, eggs, beef, chicken, and fish, contain significant amounts of phosphorus. The body maintains phosphorus/phosphate levels in the blood by regulating how much it absorbs from the intestines and how much it excretes via the kidneys. Phosphate levels are also affected by the interaction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, and vitamin D.
Phosphorus deficiencies (hypophosphatemia) may be seen with malnutrition, malabsorption, acid-base imbalances, hypercalcemia, and with disorders that affect kidney function. Phosphorus excesses (hyperphosphatemia) may be seen with increased intake, hypocalcemia, and with kidney dysfunction.
Someone with a mild to moderate phosphorus deficiency frequently does not have any symptoms due to low phosphorus. With severe phosphorus deficiency, the symptoms seen may include muscle weakness and confusion. With extreme excess of phosphorus, symptoms are similar to those seen with low calcium, including muscle cramps, confusion, and even seizures.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. If a timed urine sample is required, you will be asked to save all of your urine over a set time period (usually 24 hours).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Overnight fasting may be required prior to testing for a blood sample; follow any instructions that you are given.

I am sure most residents saw the dozens of signs which lined Stewart Avenue recently. Those signs along with many others were all plot of John Taaffe's elaborate and romantic plan to propose to his love...Louise Andruzzi. The light up sign at the new TOB Ice Skating Facility was also part of his plan, as too, were the balloons and large lawn signs which led the way to Louise's home. There John waited on bended knee, ready to ask Louise to be his wife. AND SHE SAID YES!!! They will be getting married this August and we wish the happy couple all the health and happiness their hearts can hold. We give John five stars for a truly romantic and creative way to pop the question. New Field and Playground to Be Named In Memory of Matthew McGrorty In the early part of 2007, John and Carol McGrorty were devastat-ed when doctors told them that their son, Matthew, had a rare form of liver cancer. Matthew was diag-nosed with hepatoblastoma just before his 3rd birthday. He was a very brave little boy who under-went 15 months of treatment before losing his battle to the disease. Young Matthew fought long and hard against the cancer that took his life on June 18, 2008. During his fight, Matthew McGrorty was almost never seen without his DVD Player it was his favorite thing and helped keep his mind occupied while he battled. Matthew loved his blue truck, watching the planes at Republic Airport, and seeing the trains coming into and out of the station. When he felt well enough, he would love to play at the play-ground down the block from his home. On April 2010 the com-munity of Bethpage will come together to celebrate the naming of that playground and the dedication of a new T-ball field in honor of this brave young boy. Matthew's twin sister Ashlynn will be the first play-er to ever hit on that field. Bethpage Baseball is scheduling only one game that day, a T-ball game. We are inviting every team from the youngest, to the oldest to show up in uniform to honor this young boy. Our friends in Football, Soccer, Lacrosse are also invited to do the same as are all of the school teams.

in terms of coaching there're more coaches than just those from clubs. couldn't you find a private coach who is willing to train you with nylon shuttles? granted that when you do play with feather in a competition, your shots might be a tad bit off, but the basic shots can be practiced with plastic shuttles.
a feather shuttle is made of almost all natural materials which will decay and eventually go back to nature, while a broken plastic shuttle stays forever if not properly recycled
Why do you want to get better if you want to play with synthetic shuttles?
If you get better you won't have anyone left to play with, they all want to play feather... Also, if you want to improve on your play, start playing with feather shuttles because that will learn you to feel the shuttles in an improved way... There is no point training with synthetic shuttles....
Im not trying to turn this thread into a philosophical debate but is it better for the goose to have some life than no life at all?

Mindfields suggestion rocks..
Dear Stefan,
Respect u for keeping strong with ur vegetarian-ism,and i agree with what mindfields suggested. And since you are willing to pay a bit more for "synthetic goose-like feather", I'm sure there are coaches out there who are willing to coach you, using nylon. Don't let anyone stops you from enjoying badminton, badminton is larger than just the "shuttlecock". Gather people who are keen on the recreation, healthy aspect of the game and some likeminded friends, get organized, and wallaaa... you are on the roll. The serious side of the game will come naturally, who's to say, vegetarian badminton federation might not be far off. Good Luck

as being said by everyone, feather from feather shuttlecock is just by product from slaughter house
they are two different industry, it's not like they slaughter geese for their feather
IMO, even if you don't buy the shuttlecock, it does not gonna affect how many geese and ducks slaughtered (while if you didn't eat their meat, yes you stopped one duck being slaughtered)
IMO it is ok to play with feather shuttlecock (with assumption above)
but at the end it is your choice
you can form your own club, maybe 4-6 people who don't mind to play with nylon shuttlecock
Yonex Mavis 2000 is good and the closest you can get to feather (even though still, feather is superior)Last edited by Avenger; 08-13-2012 at 11:33 PM.
One has to have a more balanced perspective of an issue like this. One way to evaluate the impact of your own decision is to ask 'will my action save more goose or ducks from being slaughtered'?
Also it can also be argued that some so called vegetarians are guilt of killing living things without realizing it.
For example the Jains in India, being strict vegetarians, will not eat beansprouts, potatoes, garlic, onions, or eat at night because such actions kill lives such as organism. Beansprout is a living thing and eating them is considered murder to the Zains.
Again, ask yourself this simple question : are you saving any thing, any life, any organism? Or is it some misguided utopia idealism?
If one were to follow the Jains standard of being a vegetarian, then it becomes extremely ascetic but some may say this is the way vegetarians must aspire to.
Jains do not wear shoes made from animal hides, do not walk until the way ahead is being swept clean with a broom lest they accidentally step on microorganisms or insects/ants and kill them, wear masks on their faces in case they harm flying insects or other microorganisms through swallowing. The list goes on.
Now, does this make sense? The answer, my friends, is up to you and your conscience, provided always that you gather enough information to form an informed judgement. There is no right or wrong answer.

Hello Stefan, when we met next time @RUB we can exchange about this issue. I'm a vegetarian too. Maybe see you on sunday. Joerg.

With respect to whether I save a goose's life if I don't buy feather shuttles as compared to if I don't buy goose meat: I guess it's the amount that matters. If you buy a tiny bit of meat at a supermarket maybe twice a week or so, I doubt the supermarket would buy more meat (because they calculate in much larger quantities). It's the same with feather shuttles I guess. However, if *everyone* follows this argumentation, things get different: Many people buying meat cause the supermarket to buy more meat or at least not reduce the amount. Many people buying feather shuttles support the industry which pays slaughter houses for the feathers, which indirectly supports slaughter houses. As I want to live with principles which don't support the slaughter industry if shared by everyone, I can't live that way. So I will have to play with nylon shuttles. Actually I don't find them so bad anyway (thanks by the way for the Mavis 2000 tip). To me it rather looks like many of those who complain about nylon shuttles, they underrate them because they are used to feather shuttles, so a big part of what they consider bad about nylon shuttles rather stems from the different feel and handling. But that's just a personal opinion.
I am also a non-meat eater but I have no problems with using goose feather shuttlecocks. Perhaps different people make decisions based on what information they have. Less information usually means more questionable decisions.
I look at the cycle of life on a bigger scale. Since all living things, including plants, vegetables, animals, fishes, and even bacteria are all related and exist in an eco-system that sustains itself I would think twice before taking upon myself to try to change such a highly evolved system that has sustained life on earth.
Do you know that platics can do more harm to the eco-system than feathers? Plastics are non biodegradable whereas feathers are organic material that biodegrades that will eventually serve as natural fertilizers for mother earth. Plastics also use disproportionately more energy to make, fouling the environment.
Also the supply of feathers hugely outnumber its demand, even if the whole world were to use feather shuttlecocks. The excess is being dumped as rubbish which biodegrades and become natural fertilizers later. Contrast this with plastics with its negative impact on mother earth, from its production to its throw-away stage.
Now, would you want to come up with something to stop sharks from eating their daily meals, which also are living things, no different from geese or ducks?
While I agree with you regarding recycling of plastics vs. feathers, not directly or indirectly supporting animal killing industry is of higher priority to me.
I wouldn't compare our situation with that of sharks or other animals who can hardly resist their instinct which kind of dictates killing other animals in order to survive.
Anyway, I think I've commented enough on this issue - I have no further points...
actually, I have a very funny theory with your point of view regarding indirectly supporting slaughter house
slaughter house get their machine and knife from factory
in this case, the factory support the slaughter house indirectly (by providing them tools to kill)
better not to use those factory made machine and knifes since they support the slaughter house
also, the poultry where they kept thee chicken and all usually use wood as material
these woods come from factory which usually also build other thing such as chair, table, door, etc
since the wood factory indirectly support the slaughter house, you should be careful when buying wood product
also supermarket that selling the meat obviously support the slaughter house, you might want not to shop into this supermarket again (so they got less money to support the slaughter house)
oh yeah, don't forget duck, pig (gelatin), and cow fat is used in many product such as sweets, medicine, cosmetic, yogurt, etc
that's a lot of products you should avoid
well, no need to take this post seriously, I just want to make a point, there should be a limit for everything
StefanDo, how true are you to your principle of not wanting to support the slaughtering of animals for food consumption? Or are you merely against the unnecessary slaughter of animals that are not intended as food for consumption?
If you want to avoid being accused of double standard, you should also not wear shoes, use wallets, drive any car, wear gloves or clothes, or use any badminton rackets that use any animal hide. Now, how 'clean' are you on this.
Perhaps you are still very young. As one gets older one gathers more information to form a better and more balanced decision.
Of course you have to draw a line somewhere - so it's hard to always prevent support of industries which indirectly support killing of animals. However, there are cases which are a lot more obvious than others (like consumption of meat). I just try to live by my principles. Regarding products which are somehow associated with animal killing industry, I always try to go for alternative products, but it's a question of availability. Like when I started being vegetarian (about 19 years ago), I couldn't find gelatin-free yoghurt at the supermarket, however I didn't want to forego yoghurts, so I bought them (while being angry that they put gelatin into it, which is not necessary at all, and I'm happy that today yoghurts are often gelatin-free). So you may say I'm not strict, and it's more or less true in this case, but in practice it's just not easy to avoid indirectly supporting animal killing industry (as has already been shown by many examples in previous postings). Anyway, like I said, if alternative products are available at allowable expenses, I go for them. This brings me back to shuttles - if no plastic shuttles were available, I guess I'd go for feather shuttles, because I love badminton (but as with the yoghurts, I'd be angry if no plastic shuttles were available). I'm not strict? Right - but better than not caring at all I guess...
Almost all supermarket yogurts are rubbish, if you are a yogurt enthusiast. The best and most healthy yogurts are self make and it is so easy and so much cheaper. Gelatin in yogurt? That is a no no in yogurt.
Personally I make yogurt myself in a two-liter container each time. You can control its taste with different types of milk, from goat to cow or buffalo. You can also control its viscosity by using some common sense instead of that silly supermarket gelatin type. Viscosity can be made thicker and firmer with a thousand and one ways. If your milk medium is fresh milk then add a little powder milk to thicken. Or you can use a sea weed called aga aga to do the same job.
However, yogurt is made from milk that comes from animals. Although the cows or goats are not slaughtered these milk are not strictly vegetarian.

Reviews by dansteino:dansteinoLouisiana 3.65/5 rDev -9.7% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Smoke . . . lots of smoke. I felt like I was heating smoked sausage. I guess this is a good beer . . . if you like smoked beers and cheeses . . . which I really do not. Still . . . strangely . . . I found this beer very drinkable. I think this is a testament to the craftmanship.

I apologize if this review does not adequately describe the beer from a more seasoned palate. Initial impression: -Smell- smoked meat: awkward at first having the smell of smoked meats emanating from a beer glass. Very intriguing. Made me pleasantly anxious to see if taste matched smell - Taste- Smoked meat! Was unable to adequately decipher all of the complex flavors but the smoked meat is what stands out initially. Not too heavy a beer. Each sip I could only describe as "intriguing". There is more than a smokey meat flavor and smell but it will take further "investigation" for this beginners palate to unravel the intricacies of this beer. Given its history, it is at very least a MUST TRY for any beer lover. It is easy to see how one of these could be enough for a beer drinker, but it is equally easy to see how one could become slave to the uniqueness of this style of beer. I for one have no choice but to delve deeper into the mysteriousness of the flavors and smells of these beers.

Beauty. Smell is sweet grain and caramel with some light smoke and righteous tang. What a clean blast of campfire and smoked pork that cradles the flavors of malty caramel and yeastily rounded tart. The balance here is the work of a master, heavy flavors made to float, darkest flavors made to sing. Nicely spritzy, beautiful cling, not too much of that smoke resin to dull the palate, quite light in fact, even refreshing, though it is full of the acrid flavors sans harshness. The work of masters, this beer is a beer opera of deep emotional taste.

When the beer is held to light, a spectrum of highlights appears with colors ranging from sandy yellow to copper. The inch-and-a-half-high, light ecru head has lots of staying power. It takes about 2 minutes for the head to settle, and when it does, it leaves behind a sticky ring and some islands of viscous foam on the top of the brew. The nose is expectedly smokey, but not overpoweringly so. Sweet smells of caramel and toasted butterscotch cut through the smoke. Earthier aromas mix with the smoke and suggest roasted meats, particularly bacon and fatty brisket. I even pick up hints of herbs and spices. I can't wait to see how this all plays on the palate… Like a symphony, that's how. Where to begin? Smoke and rich, toasted flavors assert themselves immediately, and are closely followed by a welcome bitterness and some herbal notes that persist through the hang and into subsequent sips. The beer's primary flavor is Smoked pork belly drizzled with a bit of toasted butterscotch, then seasoned with a touch of thyme and black pepper. Attendant flavors, which disappear and reappear at random as I make my way through the bottle, include burnt ends (of brisket), and smoked lavender and sage. My only complaint is that the mouthfeel is just a bit too thin. The carbonation is slightly astringent, and the foam isn't quite as viscous and creamy as I want it to be. I'm nitpicking. Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier's Märzen has the kind of complex flavor profile to which even days of repeated sipping and note-taking couldn't do justice. The addition of roasted malts makes this beer darker than most Märzens, but their presence is perhaps what makes this beer so outstanding. I'll be sure to pick up another bottle next year.

"I can plant a Victory garden, why not build a victory windmill?" Pahcheemoo nyet/Porquoi non/Why not? Others are making their own, you could, too! They don't call it that but YOU could and start a fad!
hey captsquid good to see you back on the Nashville board.
You wrote, "Let other countries "mandate"; free market should rule." Since graduating as an economist in 1971, I tended to agree with Friedman and the Chicago school until recently. I'm not sure airline deregulation worked to the advantage of the passengers, the employees or the stockholders, are you? My tenure in banking made me skeptical of the wisdom of the unfettered marketplace about ten years ago. Then what happened? I'm willing to reconsider my opinion when I get new information; how about you?
Great comment. "What a delima. Do nothing and argue amongst themselves or move forward and recover the nation's economy." It also sounds eerily familiar, like something our North American governments should do more of..
