Santa's Workshop set for Dec. 8 in Ladd
SPRING VALLEY — Project Success's Santa's Workshop will be from 8 a.m. to noon Dec. 8 at Ladd Grade School. Toy boxes are out and collection will end Dec. 3.
For more than 15 years, Project Success has helped to make the holidays brighter for local, financially disadvantaged families. With the generous support of the community, hundreds of new toys, books and coats are collected and beautifully displayed for a magical one-day shopping spree at Ladd Grade School Gymnasium. Parents and guardians of needy children are invited to select the perfect gifts for their families.
There are numerous toy drives during the holiday season. Santa's Workshop is distinguished by two unique features. First, the festivities are designed for the parents and guardians of the children, rather than the children themselves.

You know I am biased and feel this way also. The motors that were referenced in the paper I cited, I have run my hands over, and not in virtual reality. This "technology" of oil cooling works, and works well. There is a bit of windage loss, (and it was measured on the motors in the paper) but whether it is relevant or not only matters if you have or don't have the electrical power to overcome it.
Partial oil filling is the wave of the future. It will be followed with limited circulation after batteries/controllers take another step. ... at least that is my prediction!
BTW: Stick with ATF Dextron III, or Honda ATF. It is the right oil to use, it's cheap and it works.

Magnets. Running them from the factory, they have an air gap of less than a millimeter. When the stator gets hot, the magnets will also get hot on the surface facing the stator. I'd bet it's above 80 celcius when your windings/stator are at 120+ which is what some people are running at. Mine runs at 75 pretty much constant with brief peaks to 90. I' be surprised if this was worse for the magnets- if they do start to fail I'll be the first to chime in and let people know. I'd also like to know where this magic figure of 80 celcius comes from. AFAIK the Curie Temp of Neo magnets is around 320 celcius. I believe the magnets may start to demagnetise a bit below that temperature, but surely not at 80? We are in the business of helping each other out on the forum which is a fantastic thing. Many minds to the problems and issues we face comes up with all sorts of clever solutions. Even with my oil cooling I'm just following on from others before me
As for water spraying- it might help but why would you? More complicated, you need temperature switches, pressure pump, water reservoir etc. You are also not taking the heat away from the source- the stator and windings. Not to mention getting water on your back tyre. Oh, that's another good reason for sealing the hub well if putting oil in it- oil on the rear tyre is worse!
As Bigmoose and others have said, why wouldn't you consider oil cooling. Car engines are water cooled. Commercial electric motors are liquid cooled. Heck, even Golden Motor sells liquid cooled electric motors! I think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

The oil in car/truck/bus IC engines plays a major part in transfering the heat from the internal components to the surrounding walls of the water jacket. Many vehicles now have oil coolers also to further help disperse the heat.

fechter wrote:I was thinking it would work well to drill and tap a hole in the side cover near the edge to use as a drain/fill hole. With the hole at the bottom, it could drain and with the hole about 1/3 up (just rotate the wheel), it would only take the right amount of fluid, then start coming out like a car differential. Something like a 1/8" NPT tapered pipe plug (which is really more like 10mm) would be a good size.
I was also thinking it might be good to use a piece of flexible tubing coming out of the axle along side the wires as a vent. The open end of the tube could be located higher than the axle to prevent oil from leaking out and it would be sealed at the axle.
The magnets weaken with heat which provides unintended flux weakening which actually will increase your top speed (less back emf)
As long as they cool down when you decelerate they will recover and you'll have full torque off the line
An irreversible but recoverable loss occurs when the output falls but does not return when the magnet cools down (e.g. the high temperature takes the Intrinsic working point beyond the knee of the Intrinsic curve, causing demagnetisation) but this would be recovered if the Neodymium magnet is remagnetised. For all extents and purposes, this output is lost because the magnet will not be remagnetised during practical application... When cooled, such a demagnetised magnet will have the original Hci but a lower Br (the Br will have increased by the reversible temperature coefficient amount applied to the reduced high temperature Br).

The baby was dangling down and he knew it was a time crunch there is again we spot shattered and he knew it was a time crunch because he -- smelled the gas pouring out of the car.

Seeking info on sister DOROTHY P-H.
I have known about my older, illegitimate half-sister, Dorothy Ann(a) Patterson/Hatch since about 1974. Little information given out, apparently due to birth circumstances. All I was told was that she was named for deceased paternal aunt Dorothy Anna; mother was named RUTH PATTERSON and said-to-be family friend of Pop's family(HATCH); born in the Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia area sometime between 1950 and 1956...after other half-sister, Toni (same dad) and before Pop met my Mom.
All reliable sources now deceased. I need the birth/death dates of sis and her mother, please. IF still living, all further contact is left up to my sister as I do NOT wish to cause issues. ALL I want is the basic minimum information my family history records.
Anyone with even a shred of information is asked to please help! I was unable to get this information before 2 of my 3 other sisters died from cancer.
All SSDI searches have not shown anyone in correct time frame for birth dates and IF ever married, those last names were never revealed to me.
ELBRIDGE TRASK'S daughter, EUDORA, was my husband's paternal g-g grandmother
EUDORA TRASK, daughter of ELBRIDGE and HANNAH ABELL TRASK, wed WILLIAM MARTIN SUMMERS, SR. Their son, WILLIAM MARTIN SUMMERS, JR. wed MINNIE ELIZABETH ROSS in 1892. One of their sons, ELMO MARTIN SUMMERS wed THELMA MERLE POOLER 1924. One of their sons, DEAN MARTIN SUMMERS wed ORA AMARYLIS DEATHERAGE-CURTIS in 1948. Their second son, ROBERT LON SUMMERS married me 1977.
We have located the following headstones in Oregon: DEAN, ELMO, THELMA, WILLIAM JR., WILLIAM SR., EUDORA & ELBRIDGE. HANNAH is said to be in the Old Empire Cemetery in what is now North Bend, Oregon...just north of Coos Bay. Sadly, the land was given to the local Indian tribes years ago with the written stipulation that they must keep it up & in good repair. They have ignored that and let it go to ruin, fencing it off and padlocked so that nobody can get in. Several of the resting places have slipped into the sea due to storms and ZERO upkeep of the grounds.
Mother-in-law's maiden was DEATHERAGE
My mother-in-law's maiden name was DEATHERAGE. Her full name was: ORA AMARYLIS "ANN" DEATHERAGE.
She was married 4 times:TED CURTIS (DATES UNKNOWN); DEAN SUMMERS (1948-1970), LESTER PEDERSON (UNKNOWN); LLOYD WENDELL HECKATHORN, JR. (1972-1992:HER DEATH).

Good move, indeed. Even though MB.com lukewarmly sanctions Tommy Bahama while in Hawaii, avoid it. Instead, keep it casual and understated with these loose John Varvatos Soho pants (middle), and this perfectly rumpled J. Crew broken-in pocket jersey polo (left). Then, throw in a dash of zip -- and a subtle yet meaningful nod to surf culture -- with these plaid Volcom flip flops.

Full-size standard orders $25+ ship free. Order by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery.*
This Jouer fragrance rollerball first came to me as a sample in a Birchbox. I loved the scent of honeysuckle and jasmine so much I bought the full-size. It feels good on the skin and does not have any averse affects on me. The scent is intoxicating to me! I get so many compliments on this and it is perfect for Spring/Summer. A little pricey for a small roller, but you don't need much, so I've gone through very little and had it over 6 months :)
This is one of my favorite spring fragrances because it is light and floral. It makes for a great daytime fragrance and the roller ball is very convenient to keep in your purse throughout the day.
This is my favorite scent ever. To me it smells like honeysuckles blowing in the breeze. So fresh and soft. Love it!!!
I absolutely love this perfume. The sample size was small and the price is high for this size, but the smell was so good I would buy it.
Even my husband loves it!
Got a sample of this through birchbox a few months back and could not resist purchasing this. However it is a little pricey for what you receive, but smells amazing. I feel so girly when I wear this.
I adore this fragrance. It's never to heavy and, because it's an oil, stays with me. Also, it takes up much less room in my purse so I can keep it with me everywhere I go.
The Jouer Signature Fragrance is phenomenal! The scent is perfect for summer with the combination of honeysuckle and gardenia. It is also one that everyone asks me about (including at the grocery store.) Even with the light floral scent, the oil stays with you all day. Definitely a favorite!!
I'm giving it 4 stars just because the length of wear isn't that great. I really love the scent, but you've got to cary it in your purse and reapply every 3-4 hours. It's perfect for that though! The mix is really just feminine and lovely.
I loved the little roll on sample I received. However, this was just too strong of a floral scent for me. It literally smelled like rubbing flowers all over your body. Not a fan. I ended up giving this to my mom as she said she liked the smell.
I am very sensitive to perfume and rarely wear it--but I love this! The scent reminds me of noting more than a Spring day when the soft scents of blooming trees and flowers are wafting in the window., I haven't bought a perfume in years but I am definitely purchasing this one.

Great Moments in Chicken Culinary History
Where did these six poultry-based dishes (with one imposter) get their start?
- By Aviva Shen
- Smithsonian.com, June 01, 2012
(mediablitzimages (uk) Limited / Alamy)
We can thank Julia Child for bringing the traditional French comfort food coq a vin to America. It's not clear who thought up the idea to braise poultry in wine, but the dish was a rustic favorite in Burgundy for centuries. Coq is the French word for rooster, and supposedly cooking them in wine was a good way to make use of older birds that could no longer breed. Because the old birds were so tough, they needed to be slow-cooked in liquid before they could be eaten. Now, there are countless different versions of the dish using different kinds of wine and accompanying veggies. It's so popular that it even has its own day, on March 22.

Chicken can become somewhat boring if ate too often but there is so many good ways to cook it can be a staple in many homes. I love chicken mole which is a traditional Mexican dish. But my family have taken a different approach leaving out the chocalate.

You voted: Susquehanna County will read My Àntonia |
My Àntonia chosen for 2009 Susquehanna County Reads2009 will be the third year for our community reading program, Susquehanna County Reads. We are once again partnering with the Susquehanna County Literacy Program. The program will be held in the Fall--dates will be announced by summer. One hundred thirty-two people voted, and the overwhelming choice was Willa Cather's 1918 novel. My Àntonia takes place in rural Nebraska at the end of the 19th century. Jim Burden, going to live with his grandparents in Black Hawk, meets and narrates the story of Àntonia Shimerdas, an immigrant from Bohemia. This modernist novel depicts a strong sense of place and nostalgia. Themes include the emotional appeal of the past, the immigrant experience, and pioneer values. Because My Àntonia is in the public domain, you can read it online:
You can listen to or download an audiobook version at the Librivox page. Many resources are available at the Big Read page for the novel. |

That is, of course, because the view might soon change. Then someone clicking the link later on will see something other that what the post is about, leading to: "What, is she nuts?"
But now that the leaves are mostly off the trees and the footers for Bakuli are going in, there are some interesting goings-on down yonder.

h i s t o r y most inventive being kidnapping priests' illicit wives and mistresses and then ransoming them back.
The Plantagenets is divided into seven sections, from the 'Age of Shipwreck', which covers the period from the sinking of the White Ship to the eventual accession of Henry II, to the 'Age of Revolution', which saw the death of the Black Prince and the reign of Richard II. There is plenty of arresting detail: Edward II decorating the walls of his wedding banquet with tapestries depicting his arms and those of his close friend, Piers
Gaveston (and apparently Edward didn't die with a poker up his bottom); Edward III, the ancestor of the English uppermiddle class, sending a hit squad at the age of seventeen into Nottingham Castle to overthrow his mother and her lover; the wispy boy king Richard II descending into folie de grandeur.
Yet The Plantagenets is not just a collection of great stories. Woven into the drama of the narrative we see the transformation of the office of kingship, the growth of a refined political philosophy that defined the king's duties to the realm and vice versa, and the development of a body of common and statute law that underpinned how England was governed. The evolving symbolism of kingship, the changing architectural landscape, and the emerging use of the English language in government and in poetry, are also addressed. This ensures that The Plantagenets is a satisfying as well as an enjoyable read. There is no need for added goblins in this real life game of thrones.

Pity poor Everard of Bucy, a northern French peasant who in 1114 interpreted the words of the Gospel, 'Beati eritis' ('Blessed are you'), as 'Blessed are the heretics'. Knowing no Latin yet confronted by a bishop determined to root out all challenges to orthodoxy, Everard was publicly excoriated, imprisoned and then burned by the mob. His death came at the beginning of what R I Moore terms a 'War on Heresy'. Moore's is a lucid narrative, rich in anecdote. The story he tells is essentially that of a confrontation between the centralising power of kings and bishops, ranged against the doomed traditions of the local, the feudal and the folkloric. Perhaps because other fears had prevailed, most notably the fear of paganism, the Church chose not to pry too carefully into the 'popular' beliefs of western Europe for most of the period from the fall of Rome to the eleventh century. Beginning in the 1020s, however, with the show trial and burning of a group of clergy in Orléans, the suspicion grew that heresy was on the increase. From the 1150s, fears were focused upon a particular departure from Catholic teaching: dualism, the belief that two principles govern creation. The principle of evil, personified in the Devil, made all that is fleshly or produced by sex, while the principle of good resided in the spirit or soul. It was the duty of believers in dualism, insofar as possible, to n i c hol a s v i n c e n t the heretics of southern France became the object of mounting official hysteria. This culminated in 1209 with a thirty-year Albigensian Crusade intended to ensure their annihilation. Not even Trotskyism, Communism or the activities of that modern bugaboo, al-Qaeda, have inspired more furious paranoia. Even after the crusade had ended, pockets of heresy continued to trouble an inquisition, first established in the 1230s, that unearthed heresy in the Pyrenean village of Montaillou as late as the 1320s.
Devil's Advocates The War on Heresy: Faith and Power in Medieval Europe
By R I Moore (Profile Books 378pp £25)
purify the soul by abstaining from sex and by refusing all food generated in coition.
Dualism was particularly widespread in the region of the Languedoc around Toulouse, although it was also to be found in northern Italy, the Rhineland and perhaps, in a brief and brutally suppressed outburst of the 1160s, in Oxfordshire. Branded as Manichees (after the third-century Persian gnostic, Mani), as Cathars (after the Greek word for 'pure'), or as Albigensians (after the city of Albi near Toulouse, identified as a particular centre of their activities),
The story of the heretics and their persecution has undergone many modulations since Moore first dealt with it nearly forty years ago. Writing in the 1970s, he was prepared to accept that dualism emerged in southern France after about 1150, and
' The Death of St Peter Martyr' by Taddeo di Bartolo, c 1400
for a period established its own Cathar hierarchy of bishops and leaders, the so-called 'Good Men'. But dualism, Moore contended, was a late addition to a landscape of heresy previously dominated by puritanical or anti-clerical preachers, the twelfth-century 'heresiarchs' such as Henry of Lausanne or Peter of Bruys. These men were not dualists and their desire was not so much to establish an alternative to the official Church as to return to a primitive imitation of the lives of Christ's apostles. In 1987 Moore published a highly influential study, arguing that the repression of heresy was itself symptomatic of a shift in
Literary Review | m a y 2 0 1 2 12 h i s t o r y the European zeitgeist: by 1200, the scapegoating of all manner of outsiders, from heretics to Jews and from lepers to prostitutes, ensured what Moore proclaimed to be 'The Formation of a Persecuting Society'. By means of the persecution of minorities, the majority could unite in obedience to new hegemonic masters: kings, archbishops and popes. Behind all of this, even wider themes could be detected. The theories of Marx (on the emergence of a new monied economy, and with it new class struggles), Durkheim (on collective consciousness), and Michel Foucault (on power and repression), were never far distant from what was fast developing into a scholarly sub-discipline: Heresy Studies.
Moore now attempts to synthesise all these themes into a single narrative. Yet there is a major problem here. One of the greatest unsung scholarly achievements of the 1980s and 1990s was the teasing out by Bernard Hamilton, a professor at the University of Nottingham, of the connections between the Cathars of southern France and other dualist sects, the Bogomils and Paulicians. These had persisted in the Balkans and Armenia in the centuries that divided the early Manichees from their successors in twelfth-century Languedoc. Moore, convinced that the dualists of Languedoc owed little to eastern influence but a great deal to native questioning of Catholic doctrine, adopts a position diametrically opposed to Hamilton. Far from allowing that the Cathars were eastern-influenced dualists, Moore is tempted to deny their very existence. The Cathar threat, he argues, was a figment of the ecclesiastical imagination, at best the grouping together of a rich variety of local beliefs under a single misleading label, at worst a deliberate perversion of the truth, equivalent to the paranoid fictions that led, from the thirteenth century onwards, to belief in an organised conspiracy of witches pledged to serve the Devil.
Here Moore acknowledges his debt to the writings of Mark Pegg, who since 2001 has been arguing that 'Catharism' was little more than a construct of its persecutors. To suggest that the inquisitors were too categorical in their definitions of Catharism, and to compare the Cathars to witches and other victims of mass delusion – Jews in the twentieth century, Christians under the
Romans – are, for Moore and Pegg, entirely legitimate exercises. Yet we have no texts in which witches genuinely invite one another to copulate with the Devil, or in which Jews really do conspire in child murder or plot world domination. The Cathars, by contrast, have bequeathed a rich textual legacy.
Moore gives the impression that all contemporary reports of their beliefs were produced by Catholic polemicists and are of their essence unreliable. Yet we possess a number of Cathar writings – The Book of the Two Principles, The Gospel of the Secret Supper, even a vernacular Bible – that seem to have been composed by heretics and that reveal precisely the sort of eastern dualist influences that Pegg and now Moore wish to deny. Either these texts are Catholic forgeries, which would imply a degree of dastardliness worthy of Dan Brown, or we must allow that by the 1250s dualism was a real position adopted by real heretics. If so, it strains credulity to argue that dualism was not already present in southern France a century earlier, when its critics first sounded the alarm. If it had not already existed, why would it have been adopted later, after the outbreak of the Albigensian Crusade, in deliberate and perverse opposition to one of the most brutal repressions experienced since the Roman imperial persecution of Christianity? Indeed, the Roman persecution supplies some useful parallels. It undoubtedly sharpened Christianity's group identity and helped redefine doctrinal positions. Yet who would sensibly suggest that there were no Christians or Christian teachings before Nero or Julian? This seems to be precisely what Pegg and Moore are prepared to argue in the case of the Cathars.
R I Moore has written an elegant and intelligent book. At its heart, however, lurks a conspiracy theory as improbable as any that motivated the crusaders against Toulouse. Not all opinions expressed by minorities are correct. Nor are all majorities necessarily driven by fear into violent or paranoid delusion. The dualists of Languedoc really did exist. They were brutally suppressed, and their tragedy still has much to teach us about mankind. The War on Heresy is an important though troubling contribution to that lesson.

Symantec has issued a warning about a newly-emerged worm that can attack and modify corporate databases, including SQL databases that can be accessed through the OLEDB API. Though most of the attacks are occurring in the Middle East, the W32.Narilam worm is beginning to extend elsewhere, as well.
"Just like many other worms that we have seen in the past, the threat copies itself to the infected machine, adds registry keys, and spreads through removable drives and network shares," wrote Symantec security researcher Shunichi Imano in a blog post. "It is even written using Delphi, which is a language that is used to create a lot of other malware threats. All these aspects of this threat are normal enough, what is unusual about this threat is the fact that it has the functionality to update a Microsoft SQL database if it is accessible by OLEDB."
When targeting a database, Narilam searches for financial terminology and often deletes legitimate data. At this point, the bug appears to be designed to damage the files rather than to upload data to command-and-control servers. While the infection rate is currently limited, Imano warns that corporate networks that are improperly secured could be severely disrupted.
[Related: Symantec Rolls Out Mobility Specialization, Partner Training]
"The malware does not have any functionality to steal information from the infected system and appears to be programmed specifically to damage the data held within the targeted database," he wrote. "Given the types of objects that the threat searches for, the targeted databases seem to be related to ordering, accounting, or customer management systems belonging to corporations."
The worm can reportedly redirect the user's browser home page to a phishing site and then launch popups for the sale of ransomware. Some versions are also believed to support Trojans and keyloggers.
Channel partners and IT administrators are urged to make sure that their antivirus protection is fully up to date and protected against W32.Narilam.
"Unless appropriate backups are in place, the affected database will be difficult to restore," he wrote. "The affected organization will likely suffer significant disruption and even financial loss while restoring the database. As the malware is aimed at sabotaging the affected database and does not make a copy of the original database first, those affected by this threat will have a long road to recovery ahead of them."

Tonight is the season 3 premier of "Extreme Couponing" on TLC. Personally, I really just don't feel this show depicts the "real" side of couponing but it's still entertaining.
So I am watching the second 30 minute segment titled "Cole & Angelique". Last month I reported on a fraudulent Quilted Northern coupon and what do I see BOTH of these people getting but the 18 roll Quilted Northern. I actually contacted the product manufacturer so if you want to know more then please go to our Coupon Fraud alerts. Here is a picture of that fraudulent coupon…..
So the answer to the question posed by this posts title is YES; the fraud continues but I guess it makes for good TV….. You will need to check your local listings for the show time but the show is airing on Monday's now!

It's great, could be betterPros: This game will make you completely forget about your job, your schoolwork, and everything else going on in your life....and in my opinion, that is EXACTLY what a game should do, give you an escape...It's a fun FPS with large maps, allowing the player to freely explore the landscape without boundaries. There is no fall damage. Your shield regenerates. You can buy weapons, upgrade in experience, etc. Cons: The graphics SUCK. The cell-shading is no better than XIII, which was a different cell-shaded FPS that came out in 2004. Hello, it is year 2012 (8 years later) - they could have done a much better job with the graphics....and lighting. For $60, this is a disappointment, but like I said in the PROS section: forgetting about your real life is great!

Cons: Only, if you did not like the first Borderlands Other Thoughts: I have read other reviews stating the viewing/gaming FP view is closer than that they would like from the game, and that it is worse than the original.

Hi --
I've had GTD partially implemented for about three years now. As is true with others who've posted to this forum, I have Attention Deficit Disorder. I'd love to get some feedback from folks on where GTD works for me at where GTD (or perhaps my current understanding of it) breaks down for me.
The Master Task List and the Occasional (should be weekly) Review do an excellent job of reducing my anxiety about forgetting something important. Making sure my next actions ARE next actions addresses my tendency to put stuff off when I'm not sure how to proceed on them -- sometimes my next actions are ridiculously tiny, but that's okay if it gets me off center. Making checklists for repetitive procedures also helps keep me from dithering over the "what's next" issue. My "getting ready for work" checklist probably saves me ten minutes every morning.
Where I'm having my biggest breakdowns lately has to do with selecting my work. Dividing my list by context doesn't help -- 95% of my work time is spent in front of my computer. I just don't have much of the "15 minutes in an airport" kind of time that appears to make the context lists helpful. I do have my lists sorted by "type of work" -- reading, writing, phone calls, etc. -- which helps me select tasks appropriate to the current levels of energy and ability to focus.
In short, my master task list ITSELF is a great source of overwhelm for me. On a good day, I take this in stride. But on a bad day, I can be reduced to a blob of ineffective anxiety by the sheer size of the thing, and about the best I can do is nibble around the edges of it by selecting low stress tasks, like a predator taking down the slowest and weakest prey.
(I did see a suggestion in another thread about the book "The Now Habit", for which I've just placed an order.)
Any thoughts?

text: Rarely do form and function meet on a level playing field, but when a person finds a way to blend the two it's like mixing vanilla with chocolate ice cream—everyone loves it. The combination of the two is appreciated by all because it appeals both to the flashy person that only cares about looks and the guy that only cares about how well it functions. That's the same rationale behind why so many people feel certain styles embody an entire class and become the standard that every other entry in that class is judged against. Aaron Glenn, owner of Glenndyne Design in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has a motto that he's quick to deliver, "A design should flow seamlessly and effortlessly across each detail, blending form, function, and genuine style in harmony until it meets a place where everything works perfectly." And, speaking of function, his latest creation serves two: he wanted a practical bike that he could ride on a regular basis and he wanted to show off some new parts. It's hard to beat a Road King for cruising comfort, so Aaron searched for and found a used donor bike built in 2007. Immediately the bike was whittled down to the frame and cases in preparation of the modifications he had in mind. The motor received his attention first, and he punched out the cylinders to up the displacement to 107ci and reassembled it. The original air cleaner was replaced with an S&S air cleaner and the pipes were swapped out for Glenndyne's own "Buck-Nasty" two-into-one system with full-coverage heat shields and a definite performance gain over stock. Maximizing performance, Aaron upgraded the ECM to a ThunderMax EFI module with Auto-Tune; optimizing his other performance enhancements. Given the reliability of the rest of the drivetrain, the transmission and primary were kept as they arrived from the factory. As a revolutionary wheel designer, (he holds a few patents on the internal brake three-piece wheel that he invented). Aaron's company manufactures some uncommonly cool versions of the wheel, but this bike's purpose was intended to be for regular riding and he wanted to use his new 26-inch wheel, called the G5 Ano-Accent, for the front with a matching 18-inch version for the rear. A huge seven-spoke 16-inch rotor was attached to the front wheel with stopping power provided by a bright-red four-piston Wilwood caliper. One might suppose that a wheel and rotor combo of this size would have to weigh a ton and make the bike difficult to handle at low speeds, but Aaron knows the opposite is true: "I did a bunch of extensive research and testing on these (and all my) wheels. I kept the ratios between the rim diameter and rotor identical to their stock counterparts and kept the outer perimeter as light as possible—this gives the wheels excellent handling characteristics and that 26-inch wheel only weighs about 17.5 pounds." Given his history with wheels, it's not hard to believe his claims that in addition to looking far better than anything OEM, his brake/rotor/wheel culmination is lighter and stops quicker, too. A bike only needs so much braking ability on the street, so Aaron felt that the stock H-D caliper mounted on one of his seven-spoke, 11.5-inch rotors at the rear would be more than adequate for this bike. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Greg Friend Of Gearhead Inc.

Added BIOS save and upload for NVIDIA Kepler GPUs Fixed boost clock detection for NVIDIA Kepler Fixed realtime memory clock monitoring for NVIDIA Kepler cards without Boost Fixed boost clock readout showing for Kepler cards without Boost Fixed clock, temperature readings and crashes on AMD Trinity Fixed uninstaller icon not displaying properly Additional fixes for window getting cut-off on some DPI settings Added working ASIC quality readings for NVIDIA Kepler GPUs Added support for Intel Haswell Graphics Added support for AMD Radeon HD 7450A, HD 7730M, HD 7700M, FirePro M4000, W5000 Added support for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti, GT 635M, GT 620M, GeForce 610M, GT 620 (GF119), GT 640 (GF118), Quadro 7000, Quadro K2000M Added release date for GeForce GTX 660 and GTX 650 Added die size for NV10, NV11, NV15, NV17, NV18, NV25, NV28, NV30, NV31, NV34, NV35, NV36, NV38, NV42, G70M, G71M, G73M
DO you have your icons extra large in display properties? This is a known issuse Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display Then click default
Hmm, weird, I ran it and my mouse stopped moving then my monitor lost signal. Not sure what happened but I rebooted and am using 0.6.4 again. Using Catalyst 12.8 drivers on my 5850; I might try it again later in case it was just a random issue.
Current GPU (Fermi) clock shows 1000Mhz while it's only 950Mhz (0.6.4 shows it correctly) edit: it shows the right value (950Mhz) on the sensor page, it's only wrong on the front page.
this is the first release that i've had this issue. Also used larger icons for the better part of 3 years now
Clock is wrong for my 470's as well. They should both be 725MHz. One shows 843MHz and the other shows 794MHz. Also, not that it matters, but the font for the card selection dropdown, close button, and the tabs is different.
That's something they haven't fixed yet. Btw I'm still using the 0.5.8 version since I still have an Evergreen card. No reason to update.
Working fine here with my HD5850 (no difference in numbers from previous version either) - http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/bwdxz/
Fixed build for the wrong clocks on Fermi cards: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2743988#post2743988
Issue with gpu-z v0.6.5 update I have an Nvidia gtx 460 overclocked by the MSI afterburner from 675mhz to 800mhz. Gpu-z v0.6.4 correctly identified this overclock; however, v0.6.5 shows the clock at 975mhz? Sisoft Sandra and PC Wizard 2012 Both agree with the 800mhz reading. From other posts there seems to be an issue with the Nvidia GTX 4__ series gpu clock speed being incorrectly identified. Any Ideas?

MUSICAL EVENTS about "The Rite of Spring" at one hundred. In September, both the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics played the "Rite" in their opening weeks, and Carolina Performing Arts, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, has devoted its entire season to music and dance performances related to the work; in late October, the University of North Carolina presented an allied academic conference called "Reassessing 'The Rite,'" with two dozen lectures and papers, spread over four days. Scholars scrutinized the "Rite" from multiple angles, examining its Russian and Parisian roots, its cultural context, microscopic details of its score, its reception as a ballet, and its afterlife as an orchestral showpiece. The "Rite" has stayed current, and invites worldwide celebration, through its restless reinvention as a dance spectacle.

"All Time Greatest Hits" is proof of this band's lasting legacy, tragically ended in a 1977 plane crash that killed lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, whose awesome voice was matched only by his songwriting genius; third guitarist Steve Gaines, whose addition to the band added zest and maturity; his sister Cassie, who sang background; and original tour manager Dean Kilpatrick. What an infinite loss for the music world, and how lucky we are to be able to listen to the music they left behind.
Because this collection is the band's greatest hits, all are familiar and well-loved, from "Sweet Home Alabama" to "What's Your Name" to "Free Bird," a magnificent live version that simply tears your heart out. But I love "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe," which Van Zant wrote with Allen Collins, an ode to the unsung heroes of the blues; and "Comin' Home," haunting in retrospect.
Really, I cannot say enough about this band and their music, and I recommend this collection to fans of the band as well as those whose only connection to their hits is "Sweet Home Alabama."

The Buena Vista men's tennis team wrapped up the home portion of its schedule by splitting a pair of matches on Saturday. The Beavers fell in their opener, 7-2, to Cornell College before bouncing back for a thrilling 5-4 non-conference triumph over Doane College.
The Rams edged BVU in both the number 1 and number 2 doubles matches, winning 8-5 and 8-4, respectively. Keifer Nevius and Cole Renken picked up their fourth win of the year by picking up an 8-5 decision and putting BVU on the board.
In singles play, Cornell took five of the six bouts, but two of them went into the third set tiebreakers. Adam Gustad dropped a heartbreaking match in the number one slot, 6-4, 2-6, 13-11, while Jason Ehrhardt did the same in his number three bout, 6-4, 0-6, 10-6.
Cole Renken upped his win streak to four with a 6-2, 6-3 triumph in the number five match.
Gustad and Ehrhardt bounced back for a commanding 8-3 win in their number one doubles bout, while Nevius and Renken moved to 5-1 on the year with an 8-5 triumph at number three.
Renken extended his win streak to five with a 6-1, 6-1 win in his number five singles bout, while Nevius and Mike Sporer also chipped in with straight set victories.
Buena Vista is now 4-5 overall (1-4 IIAC) and will be back out on the courts on March 24 with matches against Westminster College (12:00pm) and Central College (3:00pm) in Pella, Iowa.
