I have been thinking about this matter for quite some time now but having seen our match against Werder Bremen and clearly apparent deficiencies that linger I wanted to pen this now to raise discussion on the matter while the transfer window is yet open and the topic still germane to discussion.
Now I am not here to indicate that we will sign Paul Pogba; only Roman his three Amigos and Jose know if they are even considering such a move. I am just writing this to indicate that from my stand point I think we need to get this guy this transfer season or it will never happen. I am also of the view point that if we secure this guy and a credible backup striker we then have really big chance of securing a major trophy (or two) this coming season.
So why do I think we need to get Pogba?
1. He is association trained and whether we like it or not the way the FA and champions leagues rosters are set up association trained players count for virtually two squad spots and probably should be worth and additional 10mill in value just for being association trained. That we have just lost a quality association trained player in Lukaku and thus a squad position that we presently cannot fill with anyone of comparable quality nor value for money makes this even more urgent
2. He is a quality player; he may not yet be world class but even right now at his relatively tender age he is a very good player and easily in the top 12 central midfield players in the world. He was named the best young player in the just concluded world cup. There is simply no other association trained player available at that cost right now.
3. Thanks to an earlier informal bid from PSG we essentially know that Juve`s asking price for this player is about 60mill. Is Pogba worth that much? Many will immediately say absolutely no but let us think this through carefully. Were we to pursue this we would not need to pay 60mill of fresh cash to get him. We have ~25-30mill fresh in the bank from the sale of Lukaku. We are not like the Gunners used to be who just accumulate funds for the sake of it. Furthermore Juve reportedly still owe us 10-15mill from the settlement funds from the Adrian Mutu affair. At the very least thus we already have ~35-50mill of the 60 mill sum already available. Furthermore were we to go for Pogba we would need to get rid of at least one (and possibly both) of Mikel or Ramires. Conservatively speaking we should be able to get 10-15mill for one or both of these and so all said we would only need to put up 15-20mill of fresh money to get the 60mill that Juve is asking. Surely when perceived in this way this is a wise and worthwhile investment worthy of careful consideration.
4. If we secure Pogba this window we get a high quality partner for Matic. This would not be a luxury or vanity buy. This would be getting a near world class player to address a real area of need for us. Let us be honest, not one of the alternatives we have presently as a Matic partner be it MVG, Romeu, Ramires or Mikel are anywhere close in ability or quality. How about Fabregas you say? Fab fits the profile as a Regista but lacks significantly in the tackling and defensive duties dept for a CM. He is a much better CAM/ true no 10 and we would be far better served having him further up field. With Pogba we would have a true natural DM/CM/box to box hybrid player whose offensive and defensive balance is more along the lines we need to effectively partner Matic and so prevent him from being over-run when we face the higher quality opposition from the top half of the BPL and the Champions league. Finally, Pogba with matic adds a significant height advantage that we can deploy to devastating effect both offensively and defensively.
5. If we secure Pogba we effectively ensure that Vidal remains at Juve and so deprive Man U of a player who would be a major upgrade to their midfield which already looks miles better than last year with the addition of Anders Herrera. Anything we can do to ensure that ManU does not improve too much is to our advantage. We should take a page out of the masterful stroke of genius SAF showed in signing RVP and by so doing keeping him from City and also undermining Arsenal.
6. If we really think we can get Pogba cheaper next year when he has only one year left on his contract we will be sorely disappointed. This window of opportunity will not be available next year. Real have already got their Galactico for this year but these guys are insatiable and we know Ancelloti loves and admires Pogba. Rest assured if we don`t get this guy this window we will need to contend with Real next year for his signature and I don`t fancy our chances then. Worse, right now we are lucky PSG cant afford the guy without having to sell a top tier player (like maybe Cavani) after they wasted 50 mill on David Luiz and being hamstrung by their FFP troubles with UEFA but it is an open secret that Laurent Blanc wants Pogba in Paris. If we don`t get this lad now rest assured next season we will have to contend with PSG as well and you can never rule out the Catalans or frankly others like Monaco or Bayern as well come next season. The point is if we are going to do this our best chance of pulling this of is in this window.
7. Jose clearly admires the guy..that counts for something..he is not easily impressed.
8. He is well under 25. We could easily have him available at top level for at least 5 yrs and would have him at his peak were we to strike now. If his growth potential is what is anticipated we could actually have a world class central midfielder or two for the next 3-5 yrs and at the very worst he will always have decent resale value.
All in all I feel our squad still needs two quality signings to round up the squad adequately both in depth and quality. I do feel our central midfield and a no 2 striker/goalscorer (preferably one comfortable playing out wide like PEA of Dortmund or pure fox in the hole poacher comfortable with the ball at his feet and able to play of a typical target man no 9 like Roberto Firmino would be ideal)are the positions that need strengthening. Of these two I see Pogba as the tailor made solution to that central mid need and getting him would not negatively impact our international player complement of 17 while increasing our depth and quality through an additional invaluable association trained player spot. Your views and thoughts are welcome.

Isla Fisher and Rebel Wilson join cast of Sacha Baron Cohen comedy film Grimsby
Posted: June 13, 2014
|Sacha Baron Cohen's wife Isla Fisher is the latest star to join the cast of upcoming comedy film Grimsby.
Entertainment website The Wrap revealed Fisher will play a "key supporting role, possibly as a femme fatale or other comedy vixen."
The role will see her reunited with director Louis Leterrier having previously worked together on box office smash Now You See Me.
Bridesmaids actress Rebel Wilson has also been confirmed for the film which is set for release in July 2015.
An array of talent including Ian McShane, David Harewood, Annabelle Wallis, Johnny Vegas and Oscar-nominated Gabourey Sidibe has already been lined up for the action comedy.
It will see Mark Strong star as a spy forced to team up with his football hooligan brother, played by Baron Cohen, after going on the run.
As reported, Baron Cohen was spotted attending Grimsby Town's game with Cambridge at Blundell Park last season, and was seen wearing a Mariners shirt.
Shooting recently begun though location details have yet to be announced. However, it is thought part of the film could be shot in the local area.
Reports suggest Baron Cohen has been filming scenes at Southend United's ground Roots Hall, as well as Wembley Stadium.
Along with Baron Cohen, Wreck It-Ralph scribe Phil Johnston and Alan Partridge writer Peter Baynham are also involved.
Although Paramount Pictures has helped develop Grimsby, earlier this year it was moved to Sony, who will have the worldwide rights to the movie.

Having the Latest Gold Investment News at Your Fingertips Protects Your Wealth
Do you know where most of the purchasing power in the United States comes from? In addition to reactionary economic policy that drives the printing of new dollars whenever the whim strikes, paper currency extends its reach through fractional reserve banking. In the past, currency had to be borrowed from those who were saving; now, it is stretched to the breaking point. Today, every bank loans out the maximum allowed. When you deposit $10 in a checking account, that bank can loan out all but ten percent. That $9 is passed back into the economy and deposited into another bank; 90 percent of that deposit can again be loaned. Ultimately, a $10 deposit in a checking account creates $100 in fractional currency. A single dollar, in the hands of a modern bank, can become ten or more with fractional reserve lending.
The problem with this type of economic system is that paper currencies always self-destruct. It is worth remembering the mantra: "Cash is trash!" Only precious metals like gold and silver have the ability to adjust their value, and staying up to date on gold investment news properly positions you to be able to protect your wealth. Throughout history, gold and silver automatically revalued to catch up with the changes that have occurred with paper currency, cyclically adjusting based on the amount of currency in existence at any given time. Being attuned to these cycles requires staying on top of gold investment news and picking out the relevant from the noise.
News on gold and silver can also help you pinpoint the right moments to buy and sell precious metals, allowing you to have an active role in your wealth management and financial protection efforts.

Visible & Invisible
MUCH INK HAS BEEN SPILLED in recent years over the question of what constitutes genuine "American Buddhism." ls it the Buddhism of recent European American converts, or the generations-old tradition into which many Americans of Asian ancestry were born? ls it a matter primarily of ideas or of practice? ls it meditative, devotional, or both? Must one be a member of a specific organization to be counted as a Buddhist, or should "freelancers" be included as well? In short, are there any criteria at all for defining ''American Buddhism," and precisely who should be included in the picture? More » -

Under One Umbrella
It is likely that few English-speaking admirers of the Dalai Lama recognize Thupten Jinpa Langri's face, even though they may well attribute to him an almost revered status. We who attend the Dalai Lama's public appearances know Jinpa, His Holiness's translator and interpreter, mainly by his voice. His job is to be an invisible conduit, and he keeps a low profile. So it was an unusual event—and the first time I had heard him address his own thoughts to an audience—when he took center stage at the Kalachakra Initiation in Washington, DC, in 2011 to deliver a talk entitled "Under the Umbrella of Buddhism: Do Religion, Science, and Secularism All Fit?" Jinpa began apologetically. When he prepared his talk, he had understood he would be addressing an audience of people from Himalayan regions, like Tibetans and Mongolians. Instead, several hundred Westerners showed up. More » -

What We've Been All Along
In Sanskrit, the term bodhi refers to awakening, the recognition and actualization of our mind's true reality, and citta to mind. More precisely, citta refers to the state of mind that corresponds to being awakened or that leads to it. Thus, bodhicitta, generally translated as the wish for or spirit of awakening, refers to a state of mind that corresponds to being awakened or that leads to it. It is the intention to attain perfect awakening for the sake of all beings—in essence, the union of great compassion and the realization of emptiness (wisdom). More »

I seem to be having a creativity blockage at the moment and could use some help brainstorming! My family is part of a young group of life learners who gather once a week. Throughout the year we meet at playgrounds, go for hikes, play at the beach, go sledding, press cider, etc. We are coming into the colder months and without snow at the moment we are meeting mostly indoors. We have a big open space (with tables and chairs available) to meet in. The kids range between 3 and 8 years old with the core group being between 4 and 6). I try to have an open, fun theme when we meet like this. Last year, among other things, we had a Playdough Party, Let's Build It (everyone brought their favorite building type toys and crafts), and Movement Madness (yoga, parachute play, etc.). It is very open ended. Adults and kids alike can join in, or not, as they choose. I've asked some of the kiddos for ideas but I don't know if it is their personalities or ages but they don't seem interested in coming up with anything or just really don't have any ideas. Anyway, anyone want to help me brainstorm? Oh, and it can't require TONS of prep or supplies! I'm a busy mom on a budget as are the rest of the crew! :-) Thanks!

Jeffrey Loria
Jeffrey Loria | |
Born | Jeffrey Harold Loria[1] November 20, 1940 Manhattan, New York City, U.S. |
Alma mater | Yale University Columbia University (MBA) |
Occupation | Art Dealer, Professional Sports Franchise Owner |
Jeffrey Harold Loria (born November 20, 1940)[2] is an American art dealer, and the owner of the Miami Marlins.
Early life[edit]
Loria was born and raised in Manhattan, the son of Ruth (Ost) and Walter J. Loria, a lawyer.[3][4][5] Loria took an early interest in baseball, attending his first New York Yankees game in the late 1940s. Loria attended New York City's Stuyvesant High School[6] and Yale University, where he initially took pre-med courses. With a requirement to take a history class, Loria chose art history.
After college, he worked in a newly established art-buying program for Sears, launched with the help of actor Vincent Price. In 1965, at the age of 24, he opened his private art dealing business, Jeffrey H. Loria & Co., on Manhattan's Upper East Side and wrote a book, Collecting Original Art. He specializes in 20th century masters. His collection includes works by Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore. Loria graduated from Columbia Business School in 1968 and published his second book, What's It All About Charlie Brown?, a look at life through the Peanuts comic strip (co-written with Pat K. Lynch).
Montreal Expos[edit]
In 1989, Loria purchased the Oklahoma City 89ers, then a Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The team won the American Association championship in 1992. Loria sold the team in 1993 and began looking to buy a Major League team. Loria lost out to Peter Angelos in his bid to purchase the Baltimore Orioles in 1994. On December 9, 1999, he bought a 24 percent stake in the Montreal Expos for $18 million CAD (approximately $12 million USD) and became the managing general partner. He headed an ownership group that included the city of Montreal, several Montreal businesses, and Stephen Bronfman, son of founding owner Charles Bronfman. When a series of cash calls over the next two years went unanswered, Loria ended up with 94 percent of the team at a valuation of $50M USD.
One of Loria's first acts was to reiterate demands for a new park for the Expos to replace Olympic Stadium, of which he bluntly said, "We cannot stay here." He lost a considerable amount of goodwill with Expos fans when the team was not able to reach an agreement for television and English-speaking radio coverage during the 2000 season, as the Expos tried to increase their revenue from broadcast rights. He also sought more public funding for a planned downtown ballpark, Labatt Park.[7] However, the provincial and municipal governments balked at committing more money to the project. Premier Lucien Bouchard said that he couldn't support using taxpayer dollars to build ballparks when the province was being forced to shut down hospitals. Additionally, Bouchard didn't like that Olympic Stadium still hadn't been paid for 25 years after being built[8] (and wouldn't be paid for, as it turned out, until 2006).
Sale of the Expos[edit]
In 2002, as part of an orchestrated move with Bud Selig and then-Marlins owner John W. Henry, Loria sold the Expos to "Expos Baseball, LP," a partnership of the other 29 major league clubs, for $120 million. In effect, the Expos were sold to the commissioner's office. Henry then sold the Marlins to Loria for $158.5 million, including a $38.5 million no-interest loan from MLB. The deal was approved by the other owners before Loria and Henry even signed a contract, and paved the way for Henry to buy the Boston Red Sox.[9] Loria moved the Expos' entire front office staff, on-field staff, office equipment and computer equipment to Florida.[10] MLB's plans to contract the Expos and Minnesota Twins failed, though, as the Twins were compelled through legal action to fulfill the terms of their lease at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.
Loria's partners in the Expos ownership consortium filed a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) lawsuit against Loria and Major League Baseball, but it eventually went to arbitration, with the arbitration panel finding in favor of Loria.[11] The Expos were ultimately transferred to Washington, D.C. as the Nationals. While the move was welcomed by baseball fans in Washington, it has led to many bitter feelings among Montreal – as well as Canadian – baseball fans. Many speculate that Loria's original purpose was never to keep the Expos in Montreal.[10]
The feelings among some Canadian baseball fans are so strong that when Loria chose Remembrance Day to announce his team's new name and stadium, Richard Griffin, a well-known Canadian baseball columnist wrote:
- It's ironic that Loria and the Marlins held their celebration in Miami on Remembrance Day [the Canadian equivalent of Veterans Day] because there's a generation of fans north of the border that will never forget [about the how Loria's actions led to the Expos leaving town].[10]
Florida / Miami Marlins[edit]
In 2003, the Marlins won their second World Series. Loria designed the 3½ ounce World Series rings that contain 228 white diamonds, 13 rubies and one teal diamond.[12]
In 2013, Forbes evaluated the current value for the Florida Marlins around $520 million.[13] As of May 12, 2009, the Marlins are 569–564 under Loria.[14] On November 11, 2011, the Florida Marlins officially rebranded themselves the Miami Marlins with a new logo, uniform, and color scheme.[15]
The franchise, which previously paid rent at Sun Life Stadium, had been trying for years to finance a new retractable roof ballpark. The City of Miami and Miami-Dade County both voted to approve construction of a new baseball stadium for the Marlins. Marlins Park is located in the area formerly occupied by the Miami Orange Bowl football stadium. Construction was completed by opening day 2012. Before the stadium deal was in place, Loria shed star players to pare down payroll to among baseball's lowest in 2005, and was given permission to explore options for relocating. The team then worked with the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County, in a public/private partnership, to build the 37,000 seat ballpark.[16]
A deal with the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County was eventually approved and the Marlins agreed to contribute $155 million toward the construction of a new retractable roof stadium. They were also made responsible for any cost overruns for the stadium, set in the Little Havana section of Miami. Taxpayers from Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami are required to pay at least $2.6 billion to pay off the bonds sold to finance the construction. The Marlins get 100% of all revenues from the stadium. The first Major League Baseball game in the new stadium was against the 2011 World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals on April 4, 2012.
After a disappointing 2012 season in which the Marlins finished last in their division, Loria made a twelve-player trade with the Toronto Blue Jays as part of an effort to pare down the team's payroll. This led which local and national sportswriters and Marlins fans to question Loria's stated intentions of building a successful franchise, while simultaneously demanding Miami taxpayers' dollars to pay for most of the ballpark's construction and maintenance.[17] Amid threats of boycotting the 2013 season from South Florida residents, politicians, and sportswriters, Loria defended trading away the stars. He claimed that despite the Marlins' hefty payroll in 2012, the organization was not winning and needed "to take a new course" in winning again.[18]
Loria is considered a "meddlesome" owner.[19] In April 2013, Loria reportedly had Ricky Nolasco and José Fernández switch the games of a doubleheader in which they were scheduled to pitch, violating clubhouse protocol.[20] In July 2013, hitting coach Tino Martinez, who had been handpicked by Loria, resigned following allegations that he verbally and physically assaulted players, who included Chris Valaika. When the organization considered promoting Valaika to the majors in August when Plácido Polanco was placed on the disabled list, Loria vetoed the transaction, and the team promoted Gil Velazquez instead.[21]
Personal life[edit]
Loria, who still runs his art dealership, is a member of the board of directors of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law of Yeshiva University in New York. He formerly served on the board of the Art Dealers Association of America. Loria splits time between homes in New York and South Florida.

"I previously worked in the car industry for 10 years in the management-finance field. So I am very familiar with the automotive service industry and know how challenging it can be to find a good place that is honest and will fix your car in a timely manner. The people at Gages Lake Auto are some of the best I have ever come across. I have been bringing my car there for the last three years and have been extremely satisfied with their work."

Welcome To Gages Lake Auto & Light Truck
At Gages Lake Auto & Light Truck, our philosophy goes beyond quality auto service and repairs. It's about truly caring for you and your car's needs as if you were a member of our family. Simply put: We put your best interests first.
You'll always get the straight scoop about what it takes to keep your car safe and reliable. We don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics or giving you the runaround. Instead, we thoroughly evaluate your vehicle and then carefully prioritize your maintenance and repair recommendations, explaining what should be done now and what can wait.
And when there is a repair need, you'll save money because we start with the most simple, cost-effective solution. We are cost-conscious every step of the way, giving you superior quality auto repair and maintenance with quality products such as AC Delco™ and Valvoline™, for fair and reasonable prices.
All of this is a point of pride with me. I have been an ASE-Certified Master Technician for more than 20 years, and when I opened Gages Lake Auto & Light Truck, I wanted to create an auto repair shop that focused on my clients' needs more than my company's needs.
You'll also find that we make auto repair convenient with our fleet of complimentary loaner cars, our courtesy shuttle service and our 24/7 emergency phone line. Have a breakdown on Thanksgiving Day? We'll get you into a loaner car with one phone call.
And when you leave our shop, you'll drive home with a 2-year/24,000-mile nationwide warranty, which is double what you'll find elsewhere. Come and see for yourself why so many of our clients say they'll never take their cars anywhere else—even the ones who drive all the way from Chicago and Milwaukee.

There is more to it than just root growth,i didnt do a large enough test crop to give real numbers but i did experience greatly increased yeild in the plant i fed a massive dose of Take Root in late flowering,i also experienced much new calyx growth on that plant while all other non treated plants finished up the plant got an explosion of calyx clusters. My participation in the experiment was pretty much trial & error with much of what went down being way over my head,i did alot of reading about plant growth hormones & Indol-3 durring that time,what i walked away with was that you can increase yeild using these things but there is no real way to tell with any kind of precision exactly what the results will be,or to what extent,the trick appears to be in giving the flowering plants the hormone at a precise time. I had planned on using the hormones again in my last grow but i switched over to SOG & the hormones kinda went the wayside while i was learning how to set up the SOG system.
i like powders,no complaints yet.got tough plants cloned by powder,and today had my first clone(was accidental,and can only do oneatatime) by powder
Rule of thumb when to clone healthy mothers////// 1-2 foot tall or 2 months, whichever is first. . . good luck and love thy mother for she gives us endless buds.
I here all this hype about being supper careful no dirt and shit gets into the cloning hormone. Do i need some more Take Root rooting hormone?
hey im a newbie to growing and this caught my eye....r you saying you use the take root solution as a nutrient for the plant and not just for rooting??? if thats what your saying im gettin me sum TODAY lol
I like powder better because its easier. Dip and go. With the gel, its really sticky. Doesn't always stay on once you do fish it out
Hey every one... So I just got some powder ftom home depot. Now I wasn't going to use hormones I was going to do simple water cloning. Now the thing is while that is the easiest way to go it didn't exactly have the best success rate so I got powder. I planed on using the powder and soil but then I won't be able to see roots till they show on the side of the cup witch will take longer then be in water where u can see soon they root so could I use the powder in water? Any advice would be great this is my 3rd grow but first time cloning
The way i was taught to take clones in horticulture was to take your cutting...dip it into a cup of water...dip it into the cloning powder...stick into soil. Water them good...stick a humidity dome over it...and let it do its thing.
I use both, dip in the gel 1st, then into the powder, works great...... that way, the one doesn't get washed off so fast.....
I may catch a lot of flax for writing this post since I feel many people with disagree with my method. I run organic and reuse soil even. (unless I ever catch a diesease or bug then I toss it) Anyways... I like to take my old soil from my last run, less nutrients in it at that point and I like the idea of the live culture Mycorrhizae concept. For those that haven't heard of this, some people grow clover as a way to get mycorrhizae growing in the soil than get plant there plants so the Mycorrhizae will innoculate right away. So I use my old soil, I read on the DR.Earth newsletter some years ago and he mentioned using plan soil for cloning so that the plants get used to it right away or some such thing, thats my second reason for trying it. So been doing this for two years with powder and plain tap water, and I get 99% success with that method. I even use a large dish and cut the cuttings under the water. I read on another post that you don't need to do that but since cutting roses as a kid I feel its a force of habit. I know most people use steril soil or another medium, by from what I can tell, sometimes a little dirt never hurt anyone including my plants. I decided to switch to gel and give it a whirl, figured it seems a little less messy, and if you don't water enough the powder tends to dry out the buttom of my cuttings. Granted my method takes between one and two weeks, but I got all the time in the world and make more clones then I would need so its no problem for me. But I think I may try the soaking method mentioned at the begging of this thread, its only 9 dollars for a thing of powder at lowes anyways!! Happy growing to all.

Top-ranked recipe named "Texas Road Kill Chili"
It is best when made with fresh (not frozen) "Jackalope" not readily available in most super markets, but plentiful on Texas Highway 377 between Brownwwood and Early. If you can't find it, you can always substitute ground beef.
"Look no further, this is the ultimate chilli receipe, it is as you yanks say freakin awsome.
One happy Brit :-)"
Combine ground beef, steak seasoning, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, basil, and garlic powder in a large pot or deep electric skillet and mix well. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, stirring frequently. Add celery, onion, green pepper, and jalapeno. Cook until the vegetables are tender, stirring frequently.
Add tomato juice, tomato puree, beef broth, undrained beans, undrained tomatoes, barbeque sauce, and worcestershire sauce and mix well. Simmer until reduced to desired consistency. About 1 ? to 2 hours.
Serve with shredded cheese, chopped olives, and a whole bunch-a-crackers.
The Legend of the Jackalope.
The Jackalope (Lepus-temperamentalus) was once believed a fraud like that of Big Foot. A cross between a now extinct pygmy-deer and a species of early-rabbit, they are extremely shy unless approached. They do not breed well in capativity, hence the lack of a wide commerical market.

KTM 990/950 TF5 Rally Screens
Just started making these TF5 Rally Screens for the KTM 990/950 Adventures
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/a...k-polished.png http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/a...02012/Scn1.png http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/a...02012/Scn2.png Full 5 layer carbon fibre screen. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/a...12/TF5-CF5.png |
Like it. A lot.
Make it smooth & nice at the back/inside, i.e. not like the Rally Raid. |
C/F screen looks great. The real clincher will be if the airflow coming off it is much cleaner than the stock screen.
Good job !
its not easy to do let me know if you figure out how to eliminate the flaws on the carbon under glass look doing a wet layup. Some come out better than others I recently made some low carbon screens and I spend hours and hours and hours trying to make them perfect and its just not worth selling them 15-20 hours in repairing bubbles and polishing, $50 in materials. At $180 each I end up making about $5 an hour after all the finish work and it still isnt perfect I have been using the most expensive west systems epoxy, mixing carefully to avoid bubbles, 4 layers of carbon, vaccuum bagging etc . I tried making a better mold today and it failed . I will keep trying until I get it but I should just give up buyers are particualar and they want absolute perfection like a vac machine produced stock acrylic screen |
Can you do some in fiberglass?
your windscreen
That's really nice looking, if I could ride with an arai xd in quiet air I' d be in in a minute! (low seat, about 6'1"):clap
I guess everyones experience will differ dependant on height, but I am 6ft and I tested at 80,100,120 & 160km/h and I could stare at the fluffy white clouds without the air gripping the peak and trying to rip my head off. |
Looks great
I'd be interested in the black version |
I have not really thought about exporting as yet, but I guess if there is a market I would look into it.
I would be interested in a carbon one...

I agree with hornymike, but also, if you guys will look through some of the Broke Straight Boy videos, you will see that this guy gives a good fucking to other guys too. He's definately a hottie and knows how to fuck, I personally just like watching him fuck whether its him fucking a girl or a guy
hornymike452 6 months ago
come on people as long as the guy is hot this should be allowed into our domain..."remember to each his own" and if you forget that then you are being very hypocritical. I am gay but get turned on by straight porn as long as the guy is hot. Many gay men have this thing for straight porn which must be the whole ***** of trying to get a straight man into bed. If you are this judgemental then you are no better than a college frat boy who beats up on gay men.

This paper reviews and analyzes two reported image-rejection (IR) low-noise amplifier (LNA) design techniques based on CMOS technology, i.e., the second-order active notch filer and third-order passive notch filter. The analyses and discussions are based on the quality factor of filters and the ability of the frequency control. As the solution to deal with the suitable on-chip filter, this paper proposes a new notch-filter topology that can overcome the limitations of the two previous reported studies. In addition, the LNA design method satisfying the power-cons-trained simultaneous noise and input matching, as well as the linearity optimization conditions is introduced. By using the proposed notch filter and proposed design methodology, an IR LNA used in the superheterodyne architecture is implemented. The proposed IR LNA, designed based on 0.18-mum CMOS technology with total current dissipation of 4 mA under 3-V supply voltage, is optimized for a 5.25-GHz wireless local area network with IF frequency of 500-MHz applications. The measurement results show 20.5-dB power gain, lower than 1.5-dB noise figure, -5-dBm input-referred third-order intercept point and an IR of 26 dB

Morgan has completed online and offline ID verification.
Morgan was a great tenant and I would rent to her again! She was low maintenance and left both units well cared for.
I did not get the opportunity to meet Morgan but everything went fine with communication and check in and the house was in good shape when I returned.
Morgan was a wonderful guest and we would be delighted for them to stay in our cottage again.

There have been inevitable comparisons of Obama and Bush, and it's no different when it comes to flies. Both Bush and Obama were flyboys. One could land a jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier, and to that Liberals say, "Big Flying deal!" How many people do you know who can telepathically summon a fly to land on their face? Now that's PRESIDENTIAL material, in the land of the cyclops…where the one-"flied" guy is king!
It's FINALLY HERE!
Kevin Jackson's hilarious take on Race-Pimping: The Multi-Trillion Dollar Business of Liberalism!
Enjoy this excerpt from the book:
"The money in diversity is enormous, even bigger than former sportscaster turned political pundit turned sportscaster Keith Olbermann's ego. Wouldn't you like to be a "reverend" and father children out of wedlock without repercussions? If you study hard, this book will teach you how to have your non-profit organization pay your mistress and your child support – all at the same time. You must be so black that if you eat sushi, watch reruns of Dawson's Creek and Friends, or enjoy the ballet, you will hang yourself."

In our old home I installed a runner. It had brass rods installed at the base of each step and was secured at the top and bottom. It covered the center of the steps but you could still see the wood on each side. It also looked good and we got a lot of complements on the steps. I removed the carpet and installed hardwood myself along with the new banister and runner. |
| ||||
Our stairs going to the upper level of our house are also hardwood. Molson seems to have learned how to work them pretty good without falling or slipping. The stairs to the basement have a black vinyl tread thing on them from the prior owners and it is so tacky (ugly, rather than sticky ). As for myself, I find the hardwood slippery on the stairs, so we are looking at sort of carpeting the stairs too. All of the floors in our house are either hardwood, ceramic, or laminate so we don't want to fully carpet the stairs, but we want to put something like either this: or this: for both sets. I think it would be a nice compromise and I don't think that it would interfere very much with your living room flooring choice. |
| ||||
I had hardwood stairs in my last house. I fell down them more than my dogs, I like to walk around in my socks. My Great Pyr had slid down them a couple times, and I noticed his fur on his feet was too long. I trimmed them down, and he appeared to have more traction.

I had the same worries with my hardwood stairs when we brought Josie home in November. A couple of years ago I bought some oval carpet treads with a non slip backing from Lillian Vernon. I never put them down before because they aren't the most attractive, but I held onto them in case I changed my mind. So when we got Josie, I knew she'd need them. They work great, and they really do stay put. Not sure if they still carry them, but you could check. |
| ||||
When we moved into our "old" house 19 years ago, it had wall to wall carpet in the living room that matched the carpet on the open staircase. After 17 years of kids and pets, the carpeting in the living room was trashed. We pulled it up and had the oak hardwood refinished and polished and love it. But we left the carpeting on the stairs. It really looks ok and is much safer than the bare wood on the stairs. Kris

You could add another coat of polyurethane the which you have added a non slip/ anti-slip additive. Tthe additives come in many different sizes/coarseness. Adding another coat of poly would not be difficult; the sanding and prep work was the really hard part. Check with your local hardward / building supply store and see what options they have. There is also a clear stick-on stair tread that gives traction and would probably not be very noticeable. Good luck.

Great day! Stayed on track, back into the 120's again. For exercise I walked a little, pulled weeds, hung out laundry, and did a little bit (like about 15 minutes) of weight lifting and floor exercises. Not earth shattering, but at least I wasn't a couch (computer) potato all day.
Thinking of Boston too! Why do people find pleasure in hurting, killing and scaring people? Update! NO MORE Wiggle room on my weight! Still figuring out how to keep balance and stay in charge. Staying active but could step it up again.

On the road with work today. Stopped to buy groceries and stocked up on broccoli, carrots, celery and some eggs. Also bought an almond tofu dessert that was delicious with a banana after dinner tonight.- haven't tried that before:)
My exercise today consisted of walking only...I walked at every stop point for at least 20 minutes finding the uphill climbs to give it more of a workout. I also took a long walk when I arrived. Had dinner on the little deck at the hotel taking in the last rays of sunshine. It was beautiful!!Well fed, exercised and ready to work!! Have to get ready for tomorrow so will be burning the midnight oil after a day of travel...... of my roadtrip :)

Calories and exercise went well today. 1 more pound down on the scale today. Next goal for me is to get my BMI under 35. I'll reach that goal in about another 5 lbs. I know I'm far from goal weight, but I really enjoy this team and the encouragement I get from reading the posts. God bless you all.

Forgetting my lunch helped me stay in range yesterday. Did my walking breaks. I didn't have any fresh fruit in the house this morning, so I had a sample of baby food that I got with an order from someplace. Sure enough, someone else had already entered it into the Spark tracker! Pretty good, actually. Happy Baby banana, beet and blueberry.

My thoughts are with Boston today. Hold your people tight!
Can't even imagine what the folks in Boston are feeling-
Planning to walk before work again today-haven't been on the scale yet, but I've been eating right and moving more, so I'm sure it's just where it needs to be. Have a great Tuesday! Michelle

Our little dog did have to have another operation - fortunately all the healing she'd done the past 5 weeks was not in vain but she has an exterior pin on her leg now and is confined to a crate except for controlled activity. Another long month ahead. Oh Callie. You rambunctious pup you. Made great healthy choices yesterday - some merely as the result of a little morning planning - one because I was actually paying attention to how I felt and just pushed the already portioned controlled dinner plate away before it was empty. Yay! and then ... ate the last bit of pumpkin/spice cake because it was the last bit. Ah well. win some, lose some. Maree - glad you have some time to yourself now. Toni - happy to hear you're feeling better and chuckling at your husband with the twig pancakes. Mine calls the cereal "Straw" and says no thank you but he's come a long way in 5 years. Time was I kept him in line by throwing a pound of sausage at him. Now he is 75% vegan. Hugs to you Kelliebean, Logould and Mandy - and everyone else who comes later. Believe it

Good morning. A shocking afternoon on a day that usually involves such healthy satisfaction in Boston. Thinking of everyone involved today, especially those in the target of those ugly explosions.
Finally recovered from a surprise viral deal that started late Sunday morning. Eating again and ready for a day of mild exercise and restorative movement. I did grill some fresh halibut and asparagus for dinner last night. And my husband is starting to enjoy lighter meals and food without extra bread, etc. I guess he is getting the deal: it's how I cook now. I usually have added things he wants to my menus--not always healthy--but now he's declining those. He also made me whole grain pancakes for breakfast and didn't once say they tasted like twigs! It's the little things (-: Have a good day, mates. Toni

Good morning. Listening to the news about the Boston marathon tragedy. How awful. I hope all our friends here are safe and sound. Just unbelievable.
My house will go from busy to silent later today as DD and DGD head home and DH leaves for a short River trip. I have lots of work to do so I will be fine. Good day yesterday. Headed to gym for 30 min cardio and 60 min Pilates. Hope all have a great day!

Compilation of Afrobarometer Round I Survey in 12 Countries: Botswana, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, 1999-2001 (ICPSR 4170)
Principal Investigator(s): Bratton, Michael, Michigan State University; Gyimah-Boadi, E., Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana); Mattes, Robert, Institute for Democracy in South Africa (IDASA)
The Afrobarometer project assesses attitudes toward democracy, markets, and society in several sub-Saharan African countries. This dataset was compiled from the studies in Round 1 of the Afrobarometer, conducted from 1999-2001 in 12 African countries. Certain questions addressed country-specific issues, but many questions were asked in every survey. Respondents were queried on the politics, educational standards, and economics of their respective countries. Specific questions addressed their satisfaction with the current form of government, the extent of the government's power, the names of government officials, their trust in political and governmental officials and institutions, and comparisons between the current government and the former government. Other relevant questions focused on the meaning of democracy and its applications, the development of the country, political corruption, and the rating of and satisfaction with the respective country's economy. Respondents were polled on a range of social and quality of life issues. They were asked with which groups they identified, the source or sources of their current event information and news, and the frequency of occasions they had gone without necessities like food, money, and shelter. Demographic variables include age, country, district, education, languages spoken, occupation, party affiliation, political party, urban versus rural living environment, primary language, and whether the respondent voted in prior elections.

Geographic Coverage: Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Global
Time Period:
- 1999--2001
Date of Collection:
- 1999--2001
Unit of Observation: Individuals
Universe: Citizens of Botswana, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe of voting age (usually 18 years and older).
Data Types: survey data
Data Collection Notes:
(1) Additional information on Afrobarometer research projects is provided on the Afrobarometer Web site. (2) In most cases, the dataset only includes those questions/variables that were asked in nine or more countries. (3) In the seven countries that originally formed the Southern Africa Barometer (SAB), Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, a standardized questionnaire was used. As a result, question wording and response categories are generally the same in the questionnaires for the previously mentioned countries. Also, the questionnaires in Mali and Tanzania were nearly identical to each other (in the original English version). Ghana, Uganda, and Nigeria each had distinct questionnaires. (4) The dataset combines, into a single variable, responses from across the different countries where either identical or very similar questions were used, or where conceptually equivalent questions can be found in at least nine of the different countries. For each variable, the exact question text from each of the countries or groups of countries is provided in the PDF documentation.
Sample: Multistage, stratified, clustered national probability sample
Mode of Data Collection: personal interviews
Response Rates: Approximately 90 percent

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Speaker Resistance = 10.4 Ohm R = 8.20 Ohm Maximum voltage of AC source = 15.0 V What's the average power transferred to the speaker? 2. Relevant equations P = [itex]I^2R[/itex] Imax = [itex]I/2^0.5[/itex] 3. The attempt at a solution I could the problem if there was only the speaker resistance. I don't understand how the other resistance comes into play or what it does in the circuit.
The other resistance, in series with the speaker resistance, form a voltage divider. Only a fraction of the supply voltage will appear across the speaker resistance. You can determine the current through the series connected resistors, then using that current find the voltage developed across the speaker. Keep in mind that you've been given the maximum voltage of the AC source. To find the average power you'll want the RMS values for voltage and current delivered to the speaker.
