Comments Thread For: Cordoba Claims Low Offer Made Him Pass on Juanma
Former champion Ricardo "El Professor" Cordoba has finally resurfaced and now claims that it was money that caused him to walk away from a possible fight with Juan Manuel Lopez. Cordoba management was negotiating with Top Rank for a Juanma fight on April 16 in Puerto Rico. During the talks, Cordoba vanished and his management was unable to reach him by phone. Top Rank would instead close a deal with Orlando Salido. There were reports that Cordoba has several levels of management who were arguing whether or not the boxer should take the fight. He claims the offer was only "$100,000" and he would have taken the fight for $150,000.

Appropriate action within first 60 minutes of a heart attack can reverse its effects
The first hour after the onset of heart attack is called the golden hour. This concept is extremely important to understand because most deaths and cardiac arrests occur during this period. However, if the person reaches hospital and gets treated within this period s/he can expect near-complete recovery.
Heart attack is caused when a clot completely blocks a blood vessel in the heart. The primary aim is to get rid of this clot as soon as possible; otherwise, that part of the heart dies.
Even if there is a slight suspicion that the symptoms could be of a heart attack, chew a 300/325mg of aspirin tablet immediately; it helps dissolve the clot. Once you are at the hospital, the doctors will try to get rid of the clot, either with the help of a very powerful clot buster medicine [thrombolytic medicines] or with a procedure called primary angioplasty.
Although both modalities have advantages and disadvantages, primary angioplasty is the preferred therapy in most scenarios. Apart from this, other supportive therapy also gets initiated simultaneously.
It's always best to prevent such an event from happening. For that, leading a heart healthy life style is important. All the risk factors for heart disease [like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, sedentary lifestyle] are silent killers as they do not produce uncomfortable symptoms and are hence neglected by most of us. Getting yourself checked by an expert cardiologist at regular intervals is critical.
Follow these pointers diligently:

Artezin Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley 2010
- California
- United States
- Sonoma Valley
- Dry Creek Valley
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
One of the more popular grape varietals to come primarily out of the New World in recent decades has been the Zinfandel, a thin-skinned grape which thrives in warm climates and produces wines which carry a wide range of flavors Indeed, Zinfandel grapes are highly varied depending on the climate and time of harvesting, displaying everything from sweet berries to spicy anise when harvested young, and producing excellent dessert wine when the grapes are left to over-ripen in the sun. Zinfandel varietal grapes are renowned for being one of the species which is highly capable of showing off the best features of the terroir they are grown on. This is partly due to those thin skins, and the light tannins they provide, allowing all sorts of other features and influences to shine through in the fermented juices. However, these grapes are quite delicate and not so easy to grow successfully, being highly sensitive to rot or from drying out when the weather is too hot.
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
The Valley of the Moon, as Sonoma Valley is widely known, has been one of the United States' most important and widely recognized wine regions for well over a century now, and upholds a firm belief in quality over quantity when it comes to the produce that is made in the dozens of wineries which make up the region. Helped by blazing Californian sunshine alongside mineral rich volcanic soils and geothermal springs, the grape varietals which grow in Sonoma Valley end up being packed full of fascinating flavors and aromas which are then transferred to the bottle. The past decade has seen the region expand more than ever before, and with more favorable weather conditions and a growing reputation for excellence, the wineries of Sonoma Valley are set to continue doing what they do best: making high quality, flavorful and characterful American wines.

Tenille Arts never met Matt Scales but that doesn't mean she doesn't know him. Scales was a rock musician from England who passed away in 2007 at the age of 27 due to complications caused by Cystic Fibrosis.

The Cardinals were given a scare on Tuesday when catcher Yadier Molina was forced to make an early exit after a nasty collision at home plate with the Pirates' Josh Harrison. But all is back to normal.
According to Jen Langosch of MLB.com, Molina is back in the St. Louis starting lineup on Thursday night against the Nationals. He suffered neck, back and shoulder strains in Tuesday's collision but will play through whatever discomfort remains as the Cardinals kick off a crucial four-game series in the nation's capital.
Molina, 30, is batting .325/.375/.511 with 17 home runs and 62 RBI in 111 games this season.
The Rebirds enter play Thursday with a 71-59 record, ranking second in the National League Central.
- firemarshal1 - Aug 30, 2012 at 9:05 PM
This typical St. Louis style, rush the player back in the line up without looking out for the player's safety. The St. Louis organization needs to take the lead for Molina, and not let him play for least two weeks for a serious concussion. The player's safety should come first as a precaution to Molina's health. Previous examples, Carpenter and Wainwright were both poorly managed with their pitch management. I call it like I see it.
- stlouis1baseball - Aug 31, 2012 at 8:55 AM
You can't be serious. Hahaha! And ummm…he didn't receive a concussion. Past all tests.
Take a look at innings caught in MLB over the last several years and you will see #4 is at the top on a year in…year out basis. Yadi is a baseball player. That's what he does.
- firemarshal1 - Aug 30, 2012 at 9:08 PM
Yadier, you take it easy. From experience, you could easily develop headaches, blur vision, vertigo, and depression if you rush it.
- bigleagues - Aug 30, 2012 at 10:36 PM
Or not.
Oh and I'm just guessing but I don't think Yadier reads this.

Beyonce Hides Baby Bump in Black (Photos)
In the wake of the rumors surrounding Beyonce and her baby bump, the pregnant star has definitely been covering up her growing belly a lot more in an attempt to draw attention away from it.
Many people still believe that Beyonce is not being truthful about her pregnancy, and that she is wearing a fake baby bump and expecting a child via a surrogate. I am still on Beyonce's side, and I can't imagine how she's dealing with such crazy things being said about her right now.
Beyonce is in New York City this week, and she was spotted hiding her baby bump in this head-to-toe black outfit (minus the bright blue heels she wore)! At least by wearing looser fitting clothes and darker colors, she can keep the rumors to a minimum. Her bump may be small, but baby bumps come in many different shapes and sizes.
Here are a few more photos of Beyonce in NYC this week.

I was cleaning out unused files and found that there was a 8GB file in my Library>Logs>CrashReport folder called veohd.crash.log,(Veohd is a video program which I have never had on my system, so that is confusing)
and figured that this was a file that included random crash logs, so i put it to the trash, and everything was fine, so to gain the Hd space i needed i emptied the trash. when i later restared i got a screen with a folder blinking a "?" and would not boot up. I guess this is an error when there is no OS to boot up. Can someone explain to me what I did ( i know i'm an idiot, so don't rub that in..haha) and how to possibly fix this. I haven't tried reinstalling OSX, becuase i don't know if that will erase all that i have on my hd now. Thank you for any help. |

By Health-ESpeech delivered by South African Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi in parliament on 23 July in which he announces the country will move to early HIV treatment and lifelong antiretrovirals for pregnant, HIV-positive women.
During his speech, Motsoaledi summarised progress on several major health issues in the country including maternal and mental health as well as HIV.
Motsoaledi acknowledged that there were "leakages" in the HIV treatment programme. Most significantly, health facilities had lost touch with almost four out of 10 people on ARVs three years after they started treatment.
Meanwhile, only half of those on ARVs get their viral loads tested to see whether the ARVs are working to suppress the virus. Only 65 percent of men and children who need ARVs are receiving them, in comparison to 80 percent of women.

Thermoses (plural)
Posted by: willi_h2o on Nov-29-12 4:05 PM (EST)
-- Last Updated: Nov-29-12 4:06 PM EST --A long time ago I went winter kayaking with
an old timer, a senior seasoned paddler.
For lunch he pulled out 3 thermos bottles.
I chuckled and ribbed him claiming if he drank
all that stuff he would be peeing in his dry suit.
He smiled as he grabbed the first one and asked me
"you going to pour your chili on your hatch to open it"
as he poured hot water and easily removed his hatch.
He also poured a bit on an exposed Pelican Case
so he could open it for his camera.
He then took the 2nd thermos, poured some plain hot
water in a cup, added soup mix, and stirred.
Another cup was filled and tea bags went into it.
We ate lunch and enjoyed the sunshine.
Then the 3rd thermos came out.
Okay old timer, "now what" I asked ?
He said "watch this" and poured the whole thing
over his neoprene booties, and warmed his feet.
He smiled and mentioned to me;
"have fun washing the chili out of that thermos".
"Keeping just hot water makes it real easy for me."
Now it's the 3 thermos rule for me, every time.
Quick, simple, effective, and well worth it.

For once, let go of that need to look pretty and present your "best" self. Truth is, you are your best when you are, simply and truthfully, just you.
No beef, huh?
It's tough feeling like your interests and talents aren't valued in society. It's tough feeling like you're never quite good enough, like your abilities never quite meet people's expectations.
Happiness, if anything, is best when it remains a warm gun.
Within seconds, the desire to be needlessly rude evaporates like so many tiny, ugly molecules of steam.
Finishing a book that leaves you feeling like you've just made a whole group of new friends that you will keep with you for the rest of your life.
"She's ugly" turned into "she's okay." "She's okay" turned into "she's hot." And "she's hot" turned into Cassie Ventura.
"I am writing a novel." It's like a new mantra, holding hands and skipping gleefully through my head along with "I've always been a writer," harmonious and happy at last.
You're alone all the time. At first it's unbearable and agonizing and physically painful, the sense that you no matter what you do, you will do it in solitude.

"The Flamingo Junior" Series of studio microphones are side-addressed unidirectional microphones designed for professional audio recording where sound quality and musical character is of the utmost importance. "The Junior" uses a single-diaphragm cardioid electrostatic transducer, providing vintage tone with transparent highs, optimized vocal presence and fundamental low-frequency register with minimal proximity effect. The acoustically transparent head construction reduces internal resonances, optimizes the polar pattern and keeps sound details as close to unaffected as possible. There is an integrated shockmount within the head and an external compact studio shockmount included to reduce stand rumble, outside infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks.
The internal Class 'A' fully discrete, 48V phantom powered preamplifier provides high output, flat audio-response and ultra-low distortion and noise. A custom-wound large humbucking audio transformer balances the output circuits, isolates the microphone from external interference and adds "analog warmth" to the sound. Gold-plated contacts on the output XLR connector provide a noise-free connection.
"The Junior" is available in 2 styles. "The Flamingo Junior Standard" has a polished violet body and "The Flamingo Junior Vintage" has a matte black body. Matched stereo or surround sets can be special ordered. The use of an external pop filter is recommended for close vocals.

Winter Ferry Trip
We took the ferry to Manly in July - mainly to take photos of the lighthouses in the harbour as it was way too cold for swimming.
Manly's ferries are legendary. They have been around since the late 1800's Originally known as the Port Jackson and Manly Steam Ship Company were running ferries to Manly for over sixty years.
The modern Manly ferries run at about half hour intervals or every 15 minutes at peak periods. The trip takes about a half hour each way.- Disabilities

Ride the Ferry to Manly
Riding the ferry to Manly from Circular Quay is always fun for us. I adore ferries and being out on the water; so for me this is more of a pleasure cruise than a mode of transport.
The ferries leave from Circular Quay and pull into Manly's Wharf. The ride is relatively smooth depending on the weather. I enjoy sitting back, relaxing and watching the Harbour activity. There are always boats, water taxis, ferries, yachts, jet skis zipping around on the water to watch. I love passing by the Opera House and Fort Dennison along the way as well as taking in the beautiful houses on the water.
If the weather is nice and not too hot; try to sit outside and enjoy the views. Don't forget to take some pics! -
When someone talks about Manly , one of the first things mentioned are the ferries..Manly's ferries are a long time legend and have been around since the late 1800's Originally known as the Port Jackson and Manly Steam Ship Company were running ferries to Manly for over sixty years.until being taken over by the Department of Transport in the early sixties.
The slogan "seven miles from Sydney and a thousand miles from care" has been synonomous with Manly Ferries since its inception..Early ferries were built on the Clyde in Scotland 's shipyards and sailed to Sydney under their own power...what a trip in those early ferries that must have been..
The ferries were usually always named after Sydneys northern beaches and still are today. although, I don't beleive that the ferries of today have any of the character the early ferries had. I remember as a boy to ride to the city on the old ferries and listen to the huge engines and be able to look down upon these huge engines working..and watch the huge crankshafts turning over and the warmth on a cold night was most pleasing..
Over the years there have been many different types of ferries on the Manly service ..but the original style was always the most popular. There were hydrofoils and catamaran express ferries but most residents love the pleasant 30 minute trip to or from the city on the original style ferries to relax and read the paper along with a morning coffee , a great way to start the day. no traffic hasles..
The ferries run about half hour intervals and are usually pretty packed in peak hours and weekends in summertime..most resident users have weekly/monthly travel tickets or ferry and train/bus combined..a lot of travellers choose to take their bicycle on the ferry with them..
There is a wonderful original example of how wonderfully constructed these early Manly Ferry were. The Restaurant ferry is called the "South Steyne" . This beautiful old ferry moored as a restaurant in Darling Harbour Sydney ...and to see one of these lovely old ferries that came all the way from Scotland so well preserved today..This particular ferry carried hundreds of thousands of daytrippers and residents from the city to Manly and back while in service.. SO...when in Darling Harbour check it out...
Some early Manly ferry names I have travelled on... Collaroy, Dee Why, Curl Curl, Narrabeen, South Steyne, Baracoola, Bellubera, North Head, all just wonderful old ferries..- Cruise

- Sailing and Boating
. The public transport bus system covers the peninsular from Manly to Palm Beach.Sydney busses operate over 60 different routes to/from the Northern beaches with 9,000 services a week from the City , Brookvale , Mona Vale, or Manly Wharf Services..
Busses operate faster if you buy a pre-pay ticket before boarding..these are available at outlets displaying the My Zone/ Pre- Pay signs.
There is also a bus service known as "The Pumkin Bus" a free bus for late night services as well. Manly Ferry Wharf is where the bus interchange is found and busses can be found here for all the northern beaches..There is also bus services from the city to the Northern beaches and these can be found at Carrington Street Wynyard..with some services (L90, L88, E86, -E88) these services commence or terminate at Railway Square. Daily Services also operate between Manly- Chatswood (136) via Dee Why and French's Forrest ( #143 and #144) this service is via the lower North Shore along Military Road / Pacific Highway.

Easily accessible from Sydney by Jetcat which is a 15 minute ride from Circular Quay, Manly was a great short day trip for us.
We decided to take the faster JetCat back to Circular Quay.
The weather was very nice and made for a good "site-seeing" adventure. -

Take the Ferry to Manly
The Manly Ferry is one of my favorite ferry rides. The views of the harbour and then the heads are spectacular. A little warning; the water does get a bit rough when passing by the heads so be prepared if you travel with someone who gets motion sickness.
We were fortunate in having a friend who drove us to and through Manly. It is a different experience arriving by car. This allowed us easy access to places like North Head.
I think the ferry is the way I prefer; all the sights from the water are incredible. -

Manly Ferry - Best Transport To Sydney City
Everyone has heard of and seen pictures of Sydney Harbour , the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge, well you can get the best view of these icons by catching the ferry from Manly to the city or vice versa. This will be the cheapest harbour cruise you will get and what a way to travel, far better than the bus.
The ferries depart regularly from Manly Wharf, during peak hours about every 15 minutes and at other times at slightly longer intervals. Two types of ferries operate, the traditional ferry which takes approximately 30 minutes to do the trip, and the modern cat ferries which take 15 minutes. We prefer the traditional ferry, great view and a pleasant speed. This is the ferry to take should you want to take photos.
The ferry goes direct to the city and berths at Circular Quay, only 5 minutes walk to the Opera House and Botanical Gardens in one direction and the same time to The Rocks heritage precinct and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Circular Quay has a rail station which will take you to the Shopping district , best station is Town Hall. From here there are many shops and arcades, with Darling Harbour located less than 10 minutes walk.

Ferries from Sydney to Manly
The seaside suburb of Manly is connected with downtown Sydney by frequent ferries and faster boats.
Boats leave Circular Quay in central Sydney regularly during the day, arriving at Manly Wharf just a short journey later.
I caught a ferry to Manly during my visit to Sydney in April 2006. The following information is correct as of that date:
Ferries, operated by "Sydney Ferries", leave from Wharf #3 at Circular Quay for Manly approximately every 30 minutes.
Journey time
The journey time between Circular Quay and Manly Wharf is approximately 30 minutes by ferry. This journey time can be halved to 15 minutes if you catch one of the faster Jet Cats, but these boats are more expensive than the ferries.
Adults: 6.20 AUD each way
Concessions: 3.10 AUD each way
Upon arrival at Manly, there is a small sandy beach right next to the wharf (see main picture). Follow The Corso (Manly's main pedestrianised street) to get from the wharf to Manly Beach and the Scenic Walkway along the coast to Manly's other beaches. -
Manly Wharf
Unlike my first trip to Manly I took the ferry over this time. Was stuck on the slow diesel service instead of the JetCat as we were on a day pass. But when combined with two two trips from Circular Quay to the zoo and this one to Manly (30 minutes each way) it was good value.
The best way to get to Manly is certainly by ferry or the jet cat. The jet cat, the fastest alternative, takes you 15 mins and the ferry 30 mins. I think it's a very nice trip. You get to see Sydney harbour and the coast all the way out to Manly. The ferry has something nostalgic to it. And it's so more quiet and relaxing than going by car or bus.

Bluth Studios is considered by most in the industry to be the main competitor to the powerhouse Disney Animation studio.
Don Bluth, being an ex-Disney employee, obviously knew a thing or two about not only animation and film, but business as well. The studio has flourished in recent years becuase of this.
"Bluthian" animations have similar characteristics to one another; Bold lines, muted backgrounds and detailed realistic figures. You can see this trait in most Bluth productions from their first major success, The Secret of Nimh, to their newest (as of 2000), Titan AE.

Still wondering with say a 7qt wet sump pan where I could plum it into the block??.
Also where I can get a adjustable oil pressure switch to wire it with a electric valve??.Maybe also use the adjustable switch to work as a low or no oil pressure shut down??.Kind of say the engine experiences a no oil pressure event,but the accusump adds oil to save parts/bearings.
Sponsored Links | |||
Some time ago I considered one of the Accusump or equivalent of the other brand. However I found it much easier, useful, and convenient to just use an electric pump (tilton differential oil pump) plumbed with a weld-in AN fitting for input and a line to oil filter housing for output.
Much less room to find too (those accumulator designs can be quite large!). I also think those storage type are very limited and would only be good for a fraction of oiling backup. I also have my doubts about them possibly holding a full pressure charge over a long period. With this pump system I can easily hit the manual switch before startup and oil as much as I want before startup. Other uses also possible but not ones that I need. Such as engage the pump if you want when oil pressure is at x psi or any other parameter desired. For me it is the way to go to address pre-oiling. I think this is the one I use http://www.summitracing.com/parts/til-40-525/overview/ |

Trolling for Hate: The Deluge of Bland
Design by Numbers
To prove my first point take a look at this blade (I have changed the name to see if you can figure out what it is):
Name: Kershaw Impact
Blade Length: 3 1/4 inches
Handle Material: Black Resin-base Material
Lock: Liner
Blade Steel: 14c28n
Price: $30-$40
Weight: 3.5 ounces
This knife features a speedsafe assist opening and a contoured handle to "really lock in your hand." It is sold through normal Internet sites and traditional brick and mortar retailers. This knife is really called...nothing. I made it up. There is no knife EXACTLY like this one, but there are many that are almost the same. By leaving out the blade shape, handle material, and blade finish in the stats, the Impact could be:
Random Task II
If we drop the steel type and allow for 8Cr13MoV, it could be one of about a dozen knives. If we expand the criteria to include blades that are 3 inches to 3.5 inches we get virtually all of the SpeedSafe line up.
I know that you could do this with other makers as well, but with Kershaw, especially right now, it is so easy to do. The point is that Kershaw's low and mid range lines are clogged full of knives that are virtually identical to each other, in name, appearance, and material. Worse yet, this seems like a corporate initiative to do design by numbers as opposed to anything design or customer driver. This design by numbers is so clear that I think there is a basic recipe almost all of their new knives follow.
Here it is:
1. Choosing a Name:
Unless it is a Ken Onion design (in which case you must choose from one of the many species of the genus Allium) you take a word that is a one, two or maybe three syllable synonym for "tough" (One Ton, Junkyard Dog), "fast" (Blur, Zing, Burst, Speedform), "conflict" (Clash, Brawler, Knockout), or "cool" (Cryo, Chill) and make that the new knife's name.
2. Choosing Blade Material:
This is a bit more complex, but the formula is quite easy. If the knife is made in the US and sells for $50 or less, it is usually their putrid version of 420HC (the Skyline being the exception). If the knife is made in China and sells for $40 or less, it is always 8Cr13MoV. If the knife is between $30-$60 you get 14c28n (which I do really like). But in the rare case when the knife is more than $60 you can actually get some pretty nice steel--like a composite blade or sometimes Elmax.
3. Choosing Handle Material:
Unless it is a Ken Onion design, all handles must be black. Cheap knives get black FRN. More expensive knives get black G10.
4. Choosing Blade Finish:
Again, other than Ken Onion knives, all blades are finished in one of two ways, with an alternate coating finish--cheap blades get bead blasted. More expensive blades get stone wash.
The recipe really works. About 90% of Kershaw's folders, other than Onion designs, are built in a way that matches this recipe. The Skyline's steel is different than the recipe would dictate, but that is about it (and one of the reasons why it is such a good value). The Ken Onion knives, which are Kershaw's bread and butter sales-wise, get lots of different things but I have found that a lot of those designs are played out. And then there is the interesting and highly un-Kershaw like Echelon. Other than those three exceptions, Kershaw's recent designs seem to all fit into this very predictable pattern.
Holes in the Line Up
They also have a problem with their mid-range of blades. They have lots of cheap knives, lots of slightly more expensive knives, and then they have high end stuff like the Speedform and the Tilt. There is nothing in the middle. Nothing to compete with, say, the Benchmade Sequel or the Spyderco Caly 3. There is a lot of room in their line up for these knives. I personally would like to see the BladeForum Skyline Special Edition released to the public (with its S30V steel and special colored handle scales). I would also like to see a high end version of the Zing, with nicer steel. I have mentioned before a desire to see a high end, integral Leek. Right now it is essentially the Echelon and that's it.
Finally, Kershaw has very few folders that are in the 2.5 inch range. The Scallion is an especially awful design and I assume the Chive is much the same. The Cryo is absolute disaster. But if you take out those knives the sub-3 inch blade part of the Kershaw's line up is devoid of anything that even has a sniff of interesting about it. Spyderco has proven that you can make great knives this size. They have also proven that you can sell them like hotcakes, even at premium prices with premium materials (like the Techno).
The competition for Kershaw is different than it was ten or fifteen years ago. During that time they were not at the top of the knife industry. But now, after great sales for their knives, the SpeedSafe mechanism, which essentially put them on the map, and some major dominance at Blade Show's awards, Kershaw is now among the three best knife companies in the world. Their competition is now Benchmade and Spyderco--a different set of players than the Cold Steel's (and Cold Steel is really stepping it up, too) and Gerber's (not so much as shown here and here; sad that two of their marketing campaigns are based on these knives--Gerber is just awful) of the world. They got to this position by being innovative, but now we are getting a flood of the same or similar knife designs, over and over and over again.
Kershaw, don't fall into a rut. You make great stuff. Cut back the size of your line up--you don't need 15 different models that are slight variations of each other. Focus on a broader range of prices and blade sizes. And promote Tommy Lucas to the head of design (he brought us the Skyline, BTW). Finally, and this is just a pet peeve of mine--drop the thumb studs on flipper blades--they are ugly and less effective.

Dude, this is one of your best posts. Way to theorize and boil down a lot of material. The Name step in your Kershaw formula had me LOLing.
I think your judgments are mostly spot on. Only quibble is when you say there's "nothing" in the middle. I would cite the Blur as a rare middle-class Kershaw. (The S30V Blur is actually pretty uptown.)
But your larger point is very sound. Glad to see Kershaw is interacting with you on Twitter; they should be giving your friendly critique close consideration.I was going to say the same thing about the S30V Blur... I think it is a great (albeit lonely) middle-class knife in Kershaw's lineup.
completely agree with your points here. Kershaw has elevated themselves to playing with the big boys, but they won't continue to compete if this is the future of their lineup.I like the Skyline, but that's pretty much it. I'd much rather buy Spydercos. PS: have you considered reviewing any Emersons?
ReplyDelete- Bill B.August 29, 2012 at 5:56 PM
Tony, you've read my previous comment on Kershaw with love for Skyline (remember, I have a NIB in my sock drawer in case I ever lose my carry. That is how much I like it) Your analysis is spot-on for their lineup overall. The comment from them re; Skyline at Aug.29, 2:15 AM pretty much says it all: the rest of the lineup is indefensible compared to what they're capable of.
I do have an Ososweet, but it is really too big to suit me for carry. However, it feels good in the hand, and if I ever go into the land of trolls and orcs, I'll take it along.
They must sell lots of knives, but what is their overall design plan? Cryo sounds like a disappointment unless they come out with an upgrade worth $75 to $100. I still nurture hope for the Echelon. It has a cool look, but how challenged is your marketing to fail to call it "Trout green" or "Viridian" or "Willow" or some such to open up new naming for a line with new looks/motif?
Just offering some color choices and nicer materials would be a plus, and not through forums and specialized groups, either. I already have enough memberships.
I know they are meeting needs they know of. But there are wants they are not satisfying.

One more thing: the knife market has segments that are utterly unrelated, which may account for some knives that EDC people disdain. Consider the tacky sword and huge fixed blade collectors. They buy utterly useless items suitable only for display to the easily impressed. And there are probably collectors whose criterion is large numbers of NIB knives, crappy-no-object. What else could account for some of the stuff sold on TV knife shows?
In regard to all makers, they must be aware of their buyers. So there will be less-than-stellar knives at low price points. Remember the Beanie Baby collectors? I wonder how many buyers there are who actualy intend to carry and use their knives? Lots of razor knives get heavy usage as daily tools for earning a living. That is a definite market that has shown better product development in recent years. So who are all the look-alike knives made for? Why do they buy them? Would they spring for a better knife at double the price? At 50% higher price?

Nanomemory – Devices Based on Nanotubes and Nanowires
Abstract: French scientists have made light-sensitive memory devices by combining carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires.As computer chips become ever smaller and more complex, scientists are interested in carbon-based components for devices such as memory chips. Nanoscale memory devices are key elements of future nanoelectronics circuits. For improved performance, the down-scaling of both the size and the programming speed are equally important.Carbon nanotubes have already been used to make field-effect transistors (CNTFETs). These transistors are very sensitive to their environment and are thus also of interest as sensors. In a recent paper, French scientists led by Vincent Derycke at Saclay have shown that they can make very efficient CNTFETs that work as light sensors and memory elements together. "To be useful, devices based on nano-objects need to bring more than their small size; they need to show extra functionality when compared with conventional transistors" says Derycke.

Maybe this is too obvious, but if people are looking for great apps I recommend browsing the Apple OS X Downloads page - i keep finding some great freeware/shareware apps there that i would never have thought to look for.
15" MBP 2.33 C2D; 15" MBP 3.06 C2D; Mini 2.66 C2D; Mac Pro 2x 2.93 Xeon Those are my principles, and if you don't like them.... well, i have others.

Link to this post: Helpful Information for Any Mac User
Even if you've been a Mac user or a forum member for a while, welcome to Mac ownership and welcome to MacRumors:Forums! If you've been using Macs for years, you might pick up a helpful hint here, or be reminded of something you forgot. If you're switching to a Mac from Windows, you'll discover that some things work the same as on Windows, and some things are quite different on a Mac. You should give yourself time to learn your way around and expect to learn a new way of doing some things. If you're patient, you'll learn that, in many cases, the "Mac way" of doing things is better. In some cases, you may still prefer the "Windows way". Just give it time to discover these things. You'll find a lot of information both here and on the web. Here are a few resources that may be helpful: Apple resources:

Help / Recommendations
I've just bought my very first iMac and I have to say I'm already very pleased with it. I have never used any other Apple software before other than an iPhone4 and iPad2.
What apps would you recommend to acquire first (I have looked through the recommendation sticky above but the majority appear to be dated)? I'm only really using my mac to create videos, store and print photos and store/download/listen music and films. |

Exporting a Movie
The Export Movie feature allows you to export a recorded simulation as a .mpeg file to users who may not have MapleSim. You can use the progress indicator to monitor the completed percentage of a particular playback and save the simulation at any time during the recording to record a shorter movie. When activated, the Export Movie feature automatically switches MapleSim into Playback mode and the Playback toolbar speed controls are ignored for the duration of the movie export.
To fit the model for a specific size or shape requirement for the exported movie file, open the 3D view and adjust the size of the viewing area by by dragging the edges of the 3D viewing area before using the Export Movie command.
Since the process of exporting a movie requires a large amount of system resources, ensure that you have adequate disk space. At any time during the recording, the Export Movie process may be canceled. For long animations you may not immediately see the movie file in the specified directory while it is generating.
In the Settings tab, the 3-D playback time value determines the length of the exported movie regardless of simulation end time (). Since the movie can be longer or shorter than , the 'current time' is shown in each frame of the movie. As usual the Playback toolbar speed controls are ignored for movie export.
For cases where a model has very short or very long simulation times, such as a fraction of a second or many minutes, there may need to make the exported movie shorter or longer than the actual animation. Specify the required duration in the 3-D playback time field. For example, if the animation is .1 second long, specify the 3-D playback time as 3 seconds to ensure that during playback you can see what is happening in that very short time period. In another example, if the simulation runs for 2 minutes, but a certain component's motion is subtle and slow, then in order to better present that component, specify the 3-D playback time as 10 sec. This effectively speeds up the exported movie by a ratio of 12:1.
To make the movement of multibody components appear smoother in the exported movie, you can enable Interpolate intermediate frames before the export. After simulating your model, in Playback mode, select View > Interpolate intermediate frames. Interpolation provides intermediate values for positions and orientations between the actual simulated frames. If the sampling rate is set to a lower number, the animation may be visually 'choppy'. By default, Interpolate intermediate frames is turned off and the 3-D sampling rate is set to the minimum movie algorithm requirement of 30 fps.
Using the Export Movie feature for one of the orthographic views with the 3D view not visible, the combined 2D/3D view opens and the movie generates for the 3D view as it appears in that configuration.
Maplesoft recommends that Ubuntu [Linux] users use VLC for playing movies. See http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html.
To export a movie
Create a model containing multibody components and run the simulation.
Select File > Export Movie. The Choose file window appears.
Navigate to the desired directory and specify a filename for the movie.
Click Save. MapleSim automatically begins recording the individual animation frames, displaying the Export Movie Progress window.
To record a shorter animation click Save NOW, then Exit at the desired time using the progress indicator as a guide. The animation is recorded and exported as a .mpeg file.
Note: All recordings start at . You cannot record a movie using a non start time.

OpinionFor the sake of Europe, Sarkozy must stand down Sarkozy has repeatedly pushed an Iran policy that exacerbates a root cause of the continent's economic malaise. 14 Apr 2012 19:20 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Latin America, Brazil, France President Sarkozy is facing a tough re-election battle [EPA]About the Author Reza Marashi Reza Marashi is Director of Research at the National Iranian American Council. About the Author Trita Parsi Trita Parsi is the author of A Single Roll of the Dice - Obama's Diplomacy with Iran (Yale University Press, 2012) and President of the National Iranian American Council. Story highlightsWashington, DC - As nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 commence on Friday, both sides are talking tough publicly to mask their private urgency. The US continues to reiterate that the "window for diplomacy" is fast closing, while the Iranians have made a play to have negotiations take place in Baghdad, Damascus or Beirut - a not-so-subtle swipe at the US' waning influence in key regional outposts where Iran has pull. As the conflict escalates, the US, Iran and Israel almost always occupy the headlines. However, no less important - but much less understood - is the complicating role being played by France under President Nicolas Sarkozy. From the outset of the Obama administration's efforts to resolve the nuclear dispute diplomatically, Sarkozy positioned himself to the rightWashington, DC - As nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 commence, both sides are talking tough in public to mask their private urgency. The US continues to reiterate that the "window for diplomacy" is fast closing, while the Iranians have made a play to have negotiations take place in Baghdad, Damascus or Beirut - a not-so-subtle swipe at the waning influence of the US in key regional outposts where Iran has pull. As the conflict escalates, the US, Iran and Israel almost always occupy the headlines. However, no less important - but much less understood - is the complicating role being played by France under President Nicolas Sarkozy. From the outset of the Obama administration's efforts to resolve the nuclear dispute diplomatically, Sarkozy positioned himself to the right of the US president. While Europe by and large welcomed Obama's new approach, there was "unease" and "apprehension" in Paris that Obama would go soft on Iran. In early 2009, when Obama had just entered office, Sarkozy pushed the EU to impose sanctions prior to diplomatic efforts. The bid failed, due to resistance from other EU states who felt that Sarkozy's strategy would undermine Obama. "Going in hawkish on the European side while Obama was stretching out his hand would certainly undermine the credibility of the outstretched hand," a senior diplomat (from none of the EU3 countries of the UK, France and Germany) told us in 2010. Later, when Obama was preparing a fuel swap proposal, Sarkozy resisted once more. France viewed the proposal as "extremely dangerous" since it could legitimise Iranian enrichment, preferring instead the zero-enrichment objective of the Bush administration. Less than a year later, Sarkozy opposed a revised fuel swap deal negotiated by Turkey and Brazil. Just a few weeks ago, France resisted US-led efforts to arrange the scheduled P5+1 talks with Iran, arguing that Iran's acceptance letter wasn't adequate. Sarkozy appeals for right wing voters Throughout this period, France has pushed against diplomatic compromises and advocated escalation. Sarkozy was at the forefront of pushing for an EU oil embargo on Iran at a time of record high prices, rising demand in Asia and most of Europe on the verge of economic collapse. The economies of Greece, Italy and Spain are on life support - and they were among the leading EU importers of Iranian oil. Sarkozy's poor economic management is equally damaging at home, with France's own credit rating downgraded after nearly five years under his watch. Few allies Rather than take steps to calm international markets, lower oil prices and help repair France's economy, Sarkozy has repeatedly pushed an Iran policy that exacerbates a root cause of Europe's economic malaise. In his intransigence, Sarkozy has few allies besides Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu (who Sarkozy believes is a "liar"). Both men insist upon zero enrichment on Iranian soil - a capitulation to which Iran will not succumb, and a departure from the US tacit acknowledgement of indigenous Iranian enrichment at the 3.5 per cent level. President Obama is left with the daunting task of trying to hold together an inherently unstable international coalition against Iran, find political will and space for sustained negotiations, and walk back overheated war rhetoric. "With friends like these…" is increasingly becoming a mantra amongst current and former US officials alike. Patience and perseverance are needed in any negotiation. This is not unique to the West or Iran. And yes, Iran won't play fair. Iranian recalcitrance is both well documented and a cause for concern. It can be expected to leverage loopholes and missteps throughout the negotiation process - but an honest assessment of prior negotiations shows that Sarkozy won't miss an opportunity to do the same. Negotiations involving the US and Iran are already fraught with complications. Now that we have a new opportunity to step back from the precipice of war, it's time for Sarkozy to stand down and let the adults in the room take risks for peace - and for economic recovery.
