Lax.com: Let's start with transition. What are you looking to get out of your players in transition offense. What kinds of breaks are most common and how do practice unsettled situations ---- what is your favorite drill?
Coach Colbeck: Believe it or not, most times the ball crosses the midline there is an opportunity to create unsettled situations. The classic 4v3 is somewhat rare over the course of an entire game, but 5v4's and 6v5's happen almost every time the ball goes from defense to offense. The team getting back in the hole often times creates those 6v5s for you by either substituting or not defending the break 'inside - out'.
The first step is to have your attackman understand tempo and recognize those "slow break" opportunities. They need to be conscious of how long we have been defending and whether or not we need to settle down and sub our guys off as well. Communication is the key here. Most times when we do like the situation and are pushing the ball up the field, we will try to get it down the side and behind to start. A few of our better middies have the green light to get the ball back and dodge during transition, but the majority of the time we will get the ball to X (behind the goal). Unless we have a clear advantage or can shorten the numbers down to a 4v3, we will also avoid passing the ball east -> west in transition . By going down field, we can afford to mishandle and still get a chance to recover it before it goes out of bounds.
Most defenses will not pressure behind the cage when they are down a man so our man at X should have some time and space to see the field, make good decisions and proceed. Also by getting the ball behind, we have forced the defense to turn ( most defenses will see the ball in transition) thus creating off-ball cutting opportunities. Everyone else, whether it be a 6v5 or 5v4 should be in front of the goal and in scoring position. With the ball behind and everyone else out front, we simply go through some basic cuts trying to breakdown the defensive box for inside offball shots, create skipping lanes for our out top shooters. If the defense holds, we can create some good shots by drawing the 2 on 1 on the corner. It is important that even when we are cutting, we keep some balance. We need to stay spaced so that the no single defender can cover two of our players and so we can see with ease where our open man is. If nothing should develop, we have the ball in a good spot to settle things, make any necessary substitutions and begin our settled offense.
Drills- We spend a considerable amount of time each week working on our transition game. Whether it be simple skeleton breaks to work on our positioning, cuts and stickwork or live work. My favorite transition drill begins with a midline groundball to a 6v5 or 5v4.
1. Three blue attackman covered by three white defenders in one end. The reverse in the other end of the field.
2. On one face-off hash mark you will have two lines of white middies and one line of blue middies. Across the field on the other face off hash, you will have two lines of blue middies and one line of white middies.
3. The coach stands in the middle of the field at the face off X. He rolls a ball towards one side creating a two on one groundball battle. If for example, the two blue middies win the battle, they will push the ball towards their respective end for a five on four break.(often times, they can beat the white middie in for a 4v 3). If the white middie, wins the GB battle, the two white middies from the other lines across the field enter the drill and you have a six on five going in the white direction.
We usually ride this drill out after a shot, but that step comes later. This drill creates a great way for us to work on GB's(groundballs), wing play, our transition patterns from realistic game situations and also making sure our attackmen recognize the different unsettled situations and get to their appropriate spots.
Lax.com: Move to settled situations. How would you attack a man-to-man defense that slides from the crease? What are the keys to breaking this defense down? Where do you get your shots from?
Coach Colbeck: You could probably spend days on the topic, but I will try to condense my opinions into a few keys. First and foremost, your team needs to understand the importance of being incredibly unselfish. It is rare that your initial dodger will ever finish the play with a shot vs a good, crease sliding team. One of the mantras of that type of defense is 'we do not get beat by dodgers'. With that in mind, we know that rapid ball movement and unselfishness will be of utmost importance to our success. Your players need to think in terms of 'second assists'.
Next we need to understand the weak spots of the defense. If they are going to quickly support the dodger, somebody must be left open. The temptation is to just dump it inside and sometimes that works, but against the better teams the inside is usually going to be covered up during that initial move to the cage. So where is the open guy? Most times, he will be diagonal from the original dodger. Essentially, the farthest defender from ball is free to help cover up the inside as his teammate slides from the crease. That means the man he is covering on the diagonal is open. How do we take advantage of this? When we are dodging from behind we could think about driving to the corner, drawing a double and skipping the ball through to the high diagonal shooter. Hopefully, this shooter has found his way into the soft spot and has his hands back ready to shoot. This concept is simple enough, but it is a tough feed under the pressure of a double team and the ball has a good chance of getting knocked down. We would prefer the ball to move at least two passes from the original dodger and then dodge again. By doing so we have drawn the defense out of the inside and pulled them far away from where we really want to go with the ball, to our next dodger, diagonal from our initial ball carrier. If the defense is slow to react, we will have one man to beat for a shot. A good defense might be able to get that second slide to the new dodger, but they will have a tough time covering back up the inside with new help after their initial slide. Consequently, when we are re-dodging, we are looking for off-ball cuts and feeding opportunities. It sounds a little confusing, but it is really quite simple.
Another concept to keep in mind is popping your inside offensive player to the perimeter as you dodge and reversing the ball towards him. By doing so, we can hopefully create a numbers advantage on the perimeter and clear out the inside. With no one left defensively on the inside, we will force them into some "near man" slides and if we keep our head up and the ball moving we should have some decent looks at the cage.
Keys: There are a thousand ways to skin a cat, but a few things should remain pretty consistent.
1. Whatever formation you choose to attack out of you need to stay spread and balanced. (my favorite formations vs this defense would be a 1-4-1, 1-3-2 motion and 2-3-1. Our balance will let us quickly spin the ball to the soft spots so we can reattack after the initial slide. A balanced field also gives us the chance to really get the ball moving making the defense constantly turn, creating off-ball opportunities and forcing the defense to readjust where their support for the inside will come from.
Being spread out makes the defensive slide longer thus dragging them farther away from the play. The more distance they have to travel, the less likely they will be able to recover back and help again. The ball should be able to move faster than their legs. We also want to avoid letting the defense cheat by covering two players with one.
2.Dodge out of ball movement. Try to avoid those stagnant situations where the defense has a chance to get completely set with their first slide, second and so on.
3. Patience. We are looking for layups and solid 8-10 yard shots, not the first opportunity. If we are patient , dodge then move it two or three times, re-dodge, move it, dodge again, work off-ball, hopefully we can break the defense down.
Lax.com: Same question for man-to-man sliding from the adjacents and a zone defense?
We have used a lot of motion type offenses particularly out of a 1-3-2 from behind, but one disadvantage to all of that constant motion is trouble with adjacent slides. When your adjacent offensive player clears through for a dodger and his man leaves to double, often times you simply leave the ball carrier hung out to dry. Motion can work, but your players "two away" from the ball really need to hustle to become an outlet. In some ways you treat adjacent slides much the same as you would a zone defense (most zones are based on the principle of supporting from the adjacents). Vs both an adjacent sliding defense and a zone, we prefer the 1-4-1 set. Our four perimeter players have to really work in order for us to stay spread and extend the defense, but with only four defenders involved in the sliding scheme it will be easy for us to draw and see where to move the ball next. Once we get those four defenders rotating to us, we can keep the ball moving quickly and work for some good room and time shots.
Out of our 1-4 set vs both an adjacent defense and a zone we might initiate a dodge from the wing or up top. We give that dodger plenty of room and since we know the help will mostly likely come from the adjacent defender, our next offensive player will position himself in a spot where he can be a threat, but also receive the dump pass after the slide. We keep the ball moving through our three other perimeter players in the opposite direction of their defensive rotation. Since we are spread out enough to make their slides long, it is doubtful that they can recover and keep up with the pace of the ball. Hopefully, we can rotate them into a 2 on 1 situation on the perimeter. It is at this moment that some defenses are tempted to come out of the inside to cover their short numbers on the perimeter. Now we look inside and hopefully our two inside players are separate enough so that they cannot be covered by the single remaining inside defender. Hopefully, we have an opportunity for a layup.
There are some differences between how we might attack a zone and an adjacent defense, but the basic concepts are very similar. Remember, you must dodge vs both defenses to draw. It is important to keep in mind that an adjacent sliding defense is still a man to man and your defenders are covering a specific man. In a zone defense, defenders do not have specific assignments, they cover more of an area. Vs. a zone we might think about dragging the ball from an area, replacing that player with someone from the inside and throwing back to that area. Often times, this is a great way to get the zone rotating, but does not necessarily work vs adjacents slides because when you pop someone from the inside, he will still be covered. We will also open up the zone by moving to a circle formation and forcing them into 'near man' slides. Again, there are a thousand ways to skin a cat, but some basic fundamentals will always apply.
Lax.com: How do you feel about setting picks for the man with the ball?
Coach Colbeck: When done well and in the right places on the field, picks for the ball carrier can really cause a lot of defensive confusion. The upside to picks are that you can gain a step or two from actually tangling up the defensemen or through a defensive communication mistake whether or not they will switch or get through. By creating a successful picking situation you also can simplify the field. By that I mean, say you have a two man picking game behind and you gain a step and draw a third defender to slide from the inside, now you simply have a four vs three out front. That makes it a lot easier to find the open man. If you saw Syracuse play last year, you may have noticed Liam Banks and Ryan Powell doing a great job at times working the two man picking game behind.
The downside of picking for the ball carrier may come in the form of being jumped. If you set picks in areas of the field that are not threatening for a defense, they can take a relatively risk free chance to jump and double the ball. We have not relied too heavily on the picking game in an attempt to create more space for our dodgers. There is definitely a time and a place for it, but it is not something we base our offense on. One more liability of the picking game can be a lack of communication between the two offensive players. The ballhandler can become uncertain as to whether or not his partner in the two man game wants to set a pick or if he wants the ball. A possible solution could be communicating with your stick position. For example, if I want to set a pick for someone, I will carry my stick to the inside. If I want the ball, I will carry my stick to the outside.
Lax.com: What are the characteristics of a quality shot and classify a poor shot?
Coach Colbeck: Obviously, the best shots are the ones that go in. I am sure we have all seen a game or two when we have cringed or screamed "NO" as a player is winding up and then cheered when the ball hits the back of the net. The bottom line is you have to shoot to score and score to win, but a bad shot is absolutely the same as a turnover. You are not going to score every time (30% might make you an All-American), but a good shot is one that has a realistic chance of going in. A few things to consider: Distance from the goal- for most good players I would say ten or twelve yards is a realistic striking distance. Angle- We want to always be conscious of maximizing our angle. Can we see net? Do I have a choice of places to aim, thus making it tough on the goalie. Angle and distance should be related: the farther you are from the goal, the more angle you should require of yourself. Pressure- Can I get my hands free? Do I have room and time to get something on my outside shot. Obviously, we want to avoid long distance shots with defenders draped all over us or shooting through a double team. Inside, quickness and accuracy count so if we can get it off to a good spot, great. Ability - not just the shooter's ability, but the ability of the goalie. Everyone's skill level is different and we should recognize strengths and weaknesses. While I might not be able to put it past a wooden goalie from outside of five yards, Mike Springer, Hanley Holcomb, AJ Haugen, David Curry and the like are downright dangerous from fifteen. We should also acknowledge the ability of the goaltender. A shot outside of fifteen yards on someone like Sal LoCasio does not have much of a chance. Time and place in the game- We should also recognize the importance of the game situation. Are we up a goal with 20 seconds to play? Are we down a goal, extra man with a chance to work for a layup? We should always keep working for the best shot, not always the first shot.
Lax.com: With the advent of the offset and ever narrowing head designs with deep bags, have we seen the end of the pure feeder in your opinion?
Coach Colbeck: I sure hope not. I don't think the offset has hurt the feeding game of those really special players at the college, pro and club levels, but I would agree that the average player will find a diminished capacity to make that quick, short pass consistently into the box area with a bagged out offset head. Just take a look at a couple of the best passers in the college game last year and you will see that the offset did not have an adverse effect on their assist totals. Ryan Powell, who led the nation in assists with 52, I believe, chose an offset. Dan Denihan had 40 assists and although I may be a bit biased, I think Conor Gill and Drew McKnight were also two of the game's finest assist men and I know they both used offset heads.
The problem players experience with the offset comes more out of how guys are stringing them rather than the head design itself. If you know the ball already sits lower in your stick, you must concede that you cannot have a bag and a whip and still throw the ball efficiently. As a coach, we also experience players coming from high school to the next level with a misconceived or inflated impression of their stick skills. Often times, better players will be able to excel at the high school level due in part to just being a better athlete. If they have an offset, a deep bag, and can outrun most everyone, some players will not have to develop their stick skills. The ball rarely gets dislodged and they really only get rid of it when they want to shoot. At the college level, when speed alone can't always get you through and defenders double with the body, you need to be able to move the ball quickly, accurately and efficiently. When the game is played at a faster pace and the difference between a successful feed and a turnover becomes inches, accuracy is essential. This passing ability is sometimes overlooked at some levels and covered up by the ball-holding capability of the offset.
All in all, I think the argument can be made either way regarding the effect of the offset head. There are some terrific feeders who can use the technology (as mentioned above) and there are also some outstanding feeders like Liam Banks, the Lowe Brothers, Tim Whiteley and John Hess who prefer an old school style stick. I don't think the offset is for everyone and I personally believe that you need to weigh its ball control capabilities vs. a lessened ability to pass quickly. I would recommend that younger players assemble a stick with the fundamentals in mind. A stick that can pass first.
Lax.com: What is your favorite formation for man-up and and how does it work? Are you an X's and O's kind of coach or do you allow your players to improvise?
Coach Colbeck: I am a fan of all sorts of formations, but if pressed for my favorite I would have to say the 1-3-2 starting from behind. We were 42% last year and I venture to guess that on more than half of our 53 opportunities, we simply played out of a 1-3-2 set. I like the 1-3-2 because it places five shooters in front and it has the ability to spread the defense out. It also allows you to put a lot of pressure on the those low corner defenders. I also like the 1-4-1 if you have two guys willing to work hard inside, but it can be easily pressed on the perimeter and does not make a defense really have to extend. With the 1-3-2, if you understand all of the ways teams will defend that formation, it should be tough to stop.
We spend some practice time early in the year teaching our EMO groups how defenses work. On most basic levels, there are only a few ways to defend the 1-3-2 during man-down situations. You can do a five-man rotation (hard or soft), four-man rotation (locking the inside player with a box around him), four-man rotation with a twisted box (lock inside, pressure at X and the corners and splitting away from the ball), four man that just holds or just a simple shut-off. If your EMO group can recognize and understand how each defense works then hopefully they will know where their open looks might be.
Regardless of the defense we are facing, we want to concentrate our efforts on the wings when we are in the 1-3-2 set. Versus a rotating defense whether it is a five man or a four man, we want to draw up on the wings and try to pull the base defender up with us. If we can accomplish this then throw the ball back to a following player at X, we will hopefully have started their defensive rotation. With the defense rotating and the ball at X we try to find the open man. Most times it will be on the backside, either the high diagonal man or the cross crease man. Our inside man is also always coming to the ball, but trying to stay between the crease tangents as not to crowd anyone else. Keep in mind that he will be open more vs a five man, but needs to keep working even when shut in the four man to clear skip lanes. If we cannot skip the ball through to the high shooter, dump inside or hit the cross crease player we will keep the ball moving opposite the defense?s rotation. This means the backside wing can rotate behind to receive the ball and look for a step down shooter from up top or just keep the ball hot. Everyone is stepping in ready to shoot or move it one more. When the defense is really flying around and trying to extend, we also think about skips from wing to wing and out front to wing. When faced with a defense that simply holds and refuses to rotate, you will find some success by again pushing the corner and looking to develop that two on one with your man at X and your wing shooter.
As far as X's and O's vs. improvising, I think you need a mix of both. I really think you need to be prepared to run some set plays or formation changes with specific looks, but also allow your players some freedom within the framework of what you are trying to accomplish. I am more inclined to run a play during a minute foul and stick with more straightforward things for thirty second fouls. Most of all I think your players need a sound understanding of a few simple concepts and understand why certain things are open rather than mindlessly going through a play. In the end, your players have to be confident that they can handle anything they might see defensively. Defenses can always disrupt or take away even the best designed play(ie, shut offs, rotating shut offs, etc), but five defenders will have a much tougher time stopping six skilled players with a great collective understanding of extra-man offense.

Yes this could be done. I would imagine a DeadlockException could be thrown and it is up to the application in question to figure out what to do. In a system where there is some notion of process (grouping of tasklets), incremental would be a better approach - 'kill' the deadlocked group of tasklets.

Showmark Deluxe Classic Bridle is a durable bridle with an unpadded 1" noseband and 1/2" brow. A recessed crown design that allows the noseband hanger to hide in a discreet channel. Crown is also padded against the poll and contoured around the ears. Reins included.
The Crown Raised Flash Bridle offers timeless style, versatiliy and value. This well-made flash bridle with reins has a padded brow and noseband for horse comfort.

We were in Little Washington for a writers' conference. Becky and Scott were extremely accommodating and very pleasant. Rooms were beautiful. We enjoyed the veranda and breakfast was great. I highly recommend The Moss House!

I took a trip by myself to Little Washington just to have a bit of R&R. I stayed at The Moss House B&B and absolutely loved it. My room (The Tar River Room) was just perfect for me. Becky and Scott were excellent host. They gave me great recommendations on where to go, what to eat, ect... I loved that it was just blocks from everything. I would most definitely got back!!

My wife and I spent two nights at the Moss House over the Thanksgiving holiday. We enjoyed the setting and hospitality and recommend it highly.
This two-story Victorian is on the Washington historic walking tour, across the street from the notable architecture of the Methodist Church and around the corner from the restored Atlantic Coast depot and freight warehouse, which are used as the Washington convention. The downtown and river walk are close by. The house has convenient off-street parking.
We stayed in the Anchorage Room, which is quite commodious, maintains much of the house's original decoration, and has updated features including a very comfortable king-sized bed and a large well-stocked bathroom with an excellent shower in an original closet. Scott and Beckie, the innkeepers, have paid attention to small details throughout the house. The room has a small convenient flat screen television, charger for cell phone and computer, and even a white-noise maker. In the corridor outside, a small refrigerator houses free water bottles and soft drinks, and bottle openers and cork screw are handy on tables with books and brochures on local attractions.
Local art decorates corridor and common room walls, including a notable photograph of Robert Frost taken by a relative. The back porch features a collection of yard art and crafts. During our stay, Christmas tree and other seasonal decorations with a Victorian theme were displayed in the common rooms and corridor.
Beckie and Scott were very thoughtful hosts, paying attention to our needs and being especially gracious to our grandson, who stayed with us for a night. Breakfasts are good, and Beckie is open for requests. Their hospitality is warming and not intrusive.

We have been to the Moss House twice now and it is so delightful.
I had tried to get a room but it was all booked. The owner contacted me the next week and said she had a cancellation and asked if I still wanted it.
We said yes and headed down that way. We spent two nights there and had such great service. It wasn't like service it was like family!!!
Thanks Scott & Beckie
We'll be back

The Moss House Bed and Breakfast is a charming and beautiful place. We stayed there again this past weekend for my husband's High School Reunion. As always, Beckie and Scott were wonderful hosts. The food is spectacular, and they meet every dietary requirement you might have. The rooms are quaint and very comfortable and the vibe is very relaxing. I cannot understand why anyone would want to stay in a hotel when they can stay at the Moss House!

Stayed at the Moss House for one night in August 2014. This is a delightful old Victorian with spacious clean guest rooms and we had a very comfortable bed -- slept like a rock. The inn keepers were very accommodating even with our finicky eating requirements.

We visited the Washington NC area on a house-hunting trip. We chose to stay at the Moss House B&B for 2 days, with a possible third day extension. From the moment we arrived until our departure, we felt welcomed, well-fed, and relaxed. Beckie and Scott are gracious hosts, and clearly love their role as innkeepers. Their attention to detail and their flexibility to schedule changes are a real plus to the traveller. When inclement weather moved in on the third day, preventing us from venturing out for dinner, they made sure we had nice sandwiches and spirits.
We look forward to our next visit to the Moss House.
on May 13, 2014
We stayed at the Moss House when my sisters and I got togethers. Beckie and Scott helped to make this a special weekend. They accomodated special food needs, but most important they were warm and made us feel at home. The house is beautiful and much has been done to pay attention to details for guests' comfort and accomodation.
on April 09, 2014
We had a wonderful stay at Moss House. The location was excellent for downtown, waterfront, and historic area walks. The house was interesting, the host gracious, and the food excellent.

We had only an overnight stay in Washington, NC, and the Moss House was recommended. We did not realize we were staying in such a marvelous place. The house is architecturally beautiful and is, most definitely, not a period piece. The decorating is respectful of the considerable history while being entirely modern. The colors are beautiful and the whole place is so bright, open, and beautiful, you can't help but relax. The bathrooms are fully updated, the wifi is fast. Scott and Beckie are the most warm, welcoming hosts, completely attuned to their guests (with as much or little conversation as you want). Our fellow guest was a European businessman who stays there for two weeks at a time and commutes 20 miles away for his work in the region. After our one night, we completely understood his choice. Indeed, we would return to Washington just to stay there again and tour the area. We were just passing through and realized this is a place to treasure and enjoy. PBK from Chicago

GenZ Eco Power Charging Station
Filed under: Gadgets, Power and Data Distribution
Charging stations are all kinds of hot right now, and it feels like I blog about them an awful lot. And it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon, because there's yet another new one to tell you about. And so, fans of organized charging, meet the GenZ Eco Power Charging Station.
I don't want to tell you who should like this right off the bat, but I will say that the GenZ Eco has a totally different look than a lot of the other charging stations I've written about. Being a girl who likes attractive home and office accessories, to this point I've gravitated toward the leather-look and super mod styles, but something tells me that this particular one is going to appeal more to guys – especially ones who are really into gadgets. It's black, it looks a little like a closed laptop, and it's overall cool. But take a look at the picture – you'll see what I mean about it having a techier appeal.
Anyway… in addition to its unique style, the Eco Power Charging Station has a few other really neat features, the first of which is that it has charger connectors already built in. This is really pretty sweet, because it means that you can toss all of those individual charger cords, or at least stash them away until you need to travel. The 13 built-in connections are compatible with thousands of devices, so unless you're trying to charge a gadget that's really old or rare, you're covered.
And now for the "eco" part. Cell phone chargers are notorious "vampire electronics," because they keep drawing small amounts of power as long as they're plugged in, whether or not they're actively charging. And to add insult to injury, when you leave your devices plugged in after they're fully rejuiced, their batteries actually wear out faster. Hmmmphhh – you can't win, right? Actually, you can, because the GenZ Eco charger is able to sense when a gadget is fully powered, and as soon as it gets that message, it automatically cuts the flow of electricity to that device. No unnecessary battery wear, no go-nowhere power being wasted, just exactly what you need – nothing more, nothing less.
And did I mention that it can handle several gadgets at once?

Panduit RJ45 Jack Blockout Device
Filed under: Network Products, Power and Data Distribution
It seems like the topic of computer and data security keeps popping up in conversation lately, and I just realized that up to now, I've tended to look at things from a strictly "computer protection" angle. You know, computer locks, USB port blocks, laptop security screens, lockable CPU cabinets, that kind of thing. It's pretty obvious that no one wants a thief taking off with their laptop or stealing personal information off a hard drive, but what do you do when you want to secure an actual network infrastructure?
There are always passwords, firewalls and other software-based preventive measures that can be taken, but if you're running a fairly large facility that receives a lot visitors or is frequently accessed outside of normal business hours, it's smart to have physical protection in place as well. This is the part where I tell you about Panduit® RJ45 Jack Blockouts.
If you're worried about viruses and worms being uploaded to your network or sensitive data being stolen from it, then you've got to think about limiting network access points. I'm talking about actually controling the number of RJ45 jacks that can be plugged into. Take a walk around your company's offices, and you'll probably find a pretty high number of data ports that are just sitting there, unused and not doing a darned thing. Remember that old saying about idle hands being the devil's playground? Well, in the same way, idle RJ45 jacks can be a network vandal's playground. Ruin a data thief's fun by cutting down on the possibility of illicit network access - just snap Panduit's RJ45 blocking devices into the empty jacks throughout your offices or facility.
Jack blockout devices work just like plugs, except they don't just pull out when you want them to. In order to be removed, they need to be "unlocked" with a special tool, which can be left in the hands of your IT people for safe keeping. Insertion and removal of the data port block is completely safe for the jack, and won't wear down its contacts or cause other degradation, even though multiple uses.
ReelCraft Side Mount Cart Handles
Filed under: Cable and Wire Storage, Cable Pulling, Tools and Cases
How is it that so many times, the simplest things can be the most useful? Sure, you can get plenty of cool gadgets that have GPS, lasers, Internet connectability and every other high-tech feature out there, but sometimes what you really need is just some bent metal tubing and a couple of wheels. After all, electronics are great, but they're not going to get you too far when you're trying to schlep cable reels from one place to another.
If you're still scratching your head over the "bent metal tubing" comment and wondering what on Earth that has to do with transporting spools of wire, let me explain. I recently came across the ReelCraft® Side Mount Cart Handle, and I have to say that despite it's simplicity, it's really pretty smart. Fully-loaded cable reels can be pretty unweildy to just hoist up and carry around, so it just makes sense to have what is essentially a wheel-equipped handle that attaches to the spool and lets you just push or pull it around.
The Side Mount Cart Handle is 42 inches tall, so when you use it, there's no bending involved. You just grab on to any point that's comfortable for you, and and enjoy the lack of back strain. Add to that a couple of smooth-rolling semi-pneumatic tires, and your job just got a whole lot easier. As for how it works, simple: you just attach it to the side of a reel, and you're ready to rock.
Wide Body Media Cart
Filed under: Power and Data Distribution, Server Racks and Enclosures
There'e nothing like a media cart to get me reminiscing about the good old days at Pembroke Elementary School (go Panthers!). Back at my original alma mater, the sight of a TV and VCR setup rolling through the classroom door was enough to make us pray that the feature presentation would last until end-of-the-day dismissal (in case you didn't already know, movies instead of Science and Social Studies equals less homework). So it goes without saying that media carts have always held a special place in my homework-loathing heart. But it's not just me; ask any public school kid – I'm sure they'd say the same.
Only the other day, I was writing an article on how to organize A/V cart cables, and I got to wondering, "why don't we sell these things?" Turns out that our New Products team was way ahead of me on that one, because the very next day, as if by magic, I received an e-mail stating that we now sell Vutec's Wide Body Media Cart.
The first thing that I noticed about this cart is that its wider design makes it a lot sturdier than the A/V carts of my past. I don't know if that's just because I was a pipsqueak at the time, but the school media carts I remember were usually about 8 feet tall, and always extremely top-heavy. Vutec's, on the other hand, are quite a bit stockier (in a good way, though), and built to be a heck of a lot sturdier. I really like their shorter height, too – with the TV platform topping out at 48 inches high, it's a lot easier to view the screen without having to tilt your head back at an uncomfortable angle.
Another nice feature is the locking compartment at the bottom, which gives you a safe place to stow DVDs, remote controls, and anything else you might want to secure. But one of my favorite things is the built-in surge protector, which lets you plug the entire cart into just one receptacle, but gives you 4 protected on-cart power outlets for all of your electronics.
Sooooo… what say we break out the Orville Redenbacher, wheel in the TV, and catch up on some vintage Nat Geo documentaries? C'mon, pleeeeeeeeaaaaase? But they're educational!
Glenbeigh Traditional Desk Outlets
Filed under: Power and Data Distribution
I don't know where you stand on the subject of Form versus Function, but personally, I love it when the two collide. The way I figure it, every single product out there starts with a plan – that's a given. So, as long as you're already investing time into designing something useful, why not make it look good too, all in one shot? In most cases, going the extra aesthetic mile doesn't take much extra time or money (or any at all), so why not? Seize the opportunity, people! The Italians seem to do a bang-up job with this concept, so why can't we?
Okay, now that I've gotten that soap box moment out of my system, down to business. As I was saying, the combination of Form and Function is a beautiful thing (literally), and one of the most recent instances of it that I've come across is the Glenbeigh™ Traditional Desk Outlet. I'm a big fan of desktop power and data centers in general, but unfortunately, many of them fall into the category of Robot Decor. That's great if you dig straight lines and lots of powder-coated metal, but what if you have more delicate design sensibilities?
Say that you've got an antique desk, or maybe a Pottery Barn knockoff of one – something with sweet cabriole legs and sleek painted finish. Just because you want to bring the functionality of an old-style desk up to date, you shouldn't have to sacrificing the overall look of the thing. There was a day when you either had to compromise the look of your furniture or just go without, but luckily, those times have passed – thanks to my new pal Glenbeigh™, that is.
Just like any other desk outlet, the Glenbeigh™ is available in all power or power/data versions, but the things that set it apart are its curved lines (which are reminiscent of traditional decorative molding) and choice of beautiful finishes (parchment white, midnight, silver metallic, satin nickel, antique brass, and dark bronze). With options like these, you can choose a finish that complements your desk's hardware or all-over paint color. And of course, the receptacles and data ports recess into the flush-mounted unit when they're not in use, so you'll never have to sacrifice work space.
ReelCraft GFCI Outlet Box Reels
Filed under: Electrical, Power and Data Distribution, Workplace Safety
I spend an awful lot of time researching different products, and when it comes to those oriented toward workplace safety, I oftentimes end up reading excerpts from OSHA reports that go into all the gruesome details of on-the-job electricity-related deaths. It always seems that at the root of each tragedy was some simple and ridiculous oversight, and that the fatality could have easily prevented if only the victims had been a little more aware of their surroundings. More than a few of these cases involved power tools or electrical appliances that came into contact with water while they were being operated. It makes you wonder: would these people still be alive if the tools that they were using had been plugged into a GFCI?
One could feasibly argue that GFCI receptacles may not be available at all jobsites, and that work must continue with or without them. But throwing your safety at the mercy of chance is never a good idea, especially when you can bring your own portable GFCI along, wherever the job takes you. A portable GFCI, you ask? Why, yes – meet ReelCraft's GFCI Outlet Box Reel.
This GFCI-on-a-reel is a lot like a standard reeled industrial-grade extension cord, but with an added bonus: the GFCI-equipped outlet box that happens to be wired onto it. Just plug the extension cord into a wall outlet, and then plug your power tools or appliances into the outlet box's GFCI receptacles. In addition to providing a safe power source, this reel also eliminates the problem of annoying (and potentially dangerous) cord slack – you don't have to unroll more extension cord than you need, so there's much less chance of tripping over it.
Ideal Plug-In Receptacle Testers
Filed under: Electrical, Test Equipment
I sort of have a thing for old houses. I think I'd like to own one someday. I'm not saying that modern homes can't be beautiful, but somehow, nothing beats original hardwood floors, antique trim, and maybe even a little glint of stained glass bordering the top of an accent window. I'm talking homes that have squeaks, warmth, and decades of memories – not mirror-polished granite countertops and sulphur-tainted Chinese drywall.
My husband and I have recently taken to surfing the Web for older houses on the market in his hometown, which has more than a few cute 1920s bungalows. Every time he comes across a reasonably well-kept abode that he thinks I'll like, there are a few questions that I fire off on my way to take a peek at his latest discovery. What year is it? Wood, vinyl siding, or brick? (I'm holding out for brick). What kind of shape is the roof in? How old is the wiring?
Yes, that's right. Nostalgic, charm-soaked old houses often come with not-so-endearing electrical systems that have been wired by who knows who. Jerry-rigged electrical receptacles are no party, because you never know whether or not they'll work, and even if they do, there's always the question of whether or not they can support the power draw of whatever you decide to plug into them. I don't know about you, but I prefer houses that aren't smoldering. Guess that means that a thorough home inspection is in line…
Whenever you're considering purchasing a home, old construction or new, it's always to investigate a few things yourself, even if you're bringing in a professional inspector. And guess what? You have what it takes to tackle all of those power outlets on your own… at least, you do if you have an Ideal® Receptacle Tester.
Simple enough for any electrical rookie to use and read, this plug-in outlet tester checks for all of the most common problems homeowners run into, like improper wiring, open ground, open neutral, open hot, hot/ground reversal, and hot/neutral reversal. Three lights instantly diagnose these problems, or indicate the lack thereof. And then there's the test-result key that's printed right on the tester – it's basically a quick-reference guide that helps you decipher what different light patterns mean.
No more keeping your fingers crossed, or discovering electrical problems through trial and errror. It's nice to know that peace of mind is as easy as plugging in, isn't it? (And by the way, it doesn't cost much, either.)
USB Bluetooth Dongles (Black Box)
Filed under: Gadgets, Network Products
Dongle? What the heck is a "dongle?"
If you're a Bluetooth veteran, you're probably already dongle-savvy, and can both read and speak the word without giggling or wrinkling your forehead in confusion. But if you're a bit of a tech rookie and find your mind spiraling downward, imagining all sorts of fun and colorful definitions, let me interrupt your train of thought before it gets too out of hand, and set the record straight. A dongle is a type of hardware that plugs into a computer, and basically unlocks a particular software program and allows it to be used. In the case of these particular Black Box USB dongles, the technology in question is Bluetooth.
Designed to look almost identical to a standard USB flash drive, a Black Box Bluetooth dongle plugs into your computer's USB port, and enables it to interact with other Bluetooth devices located within a certain range. It lets you create an instant, wireless personal network – pretty cool. And in these days of data theft paranoia, these dongles are safe to use, thanks to their built-in encryption and user authentication programming.
Depending upon what type of range and how much security you want your Bluetooth network to have, these USB dongles are available in two models: Class I, which has a 100 meter range (great for covering an office or your entire home), or Class II, which enables a contained, hacker-protected network within a tighter 10 meter range. They're also conveniently compatible with just about any computer: whether you're a desktop or laptop, Mac or PC, Black Box has you covered.
Gator Road Cases for LCD and Plasma Screens
Filed under: Tools and Cases
How do you move a flat panel display from one place to another? Very carefully. I know, I know – we just got started, and you're already rolling your eyes, thinking "Wokka wokka wokka – where did she get that come from, a Laffy Taffy wrapper?!" For your information, the answer is no, I did not (how could you think that?). And just for the record, it wasn't a joke – even though it did sound like one. A really, really bad one.
But down to business. I wasn't kidding about that "very carefully" stuff – moving plasma and LCD screens can get pretty tricky, and if you make even one wrong move, it can turn out to be expensive, too. Replacing broken screens can really set you back, so if you ever have to move one, do the following: cast all thoughts of cardboard boxes, packing peanuts and moving blankets out of your head. You heard me – no flimsy packing materials. I'm usually a pretty frugal person, but this is one area in which I will loudly school anyone who attempts to take the cheapskate route.
That said, I happily recommend Gator's G-Tour LCD and Plasma Road Cases to anyone who regularly travels from job to job with an LCD screen in tow. I'm not going to say that they aren't a bit of an investment, but when it comes to sparing the lives of large, expensive electronics, I think a little preventive spending is in line, don't you?
I really like these cases, because they're both good looking and functional, inside and out. Based on what meets the eye, they're like sleek, modern, low-profile steamer trunks for your HD display – but instead of sailing up the Nile, they're better for getting booth display screens to that tradeshow in Atlanta and back. That's all because of the cases' less-obvious inner appointments, which include shock-absorbing polyethylene foam lining, and configurable foam wedges that allow you to custom-fit the case to your screen. Talk about traveling in luxury – it's like going cross-country in a Tempur-Pedic® bed.
The entire line of G-Tour cases meets ATA specifications for transport cases, so you don't need to worry about running into any unusual luggage difficulties – just check the case at Point A, and retrieve your unscathed Plasma or LCD at the other end of the line. Too easy.
Rack-A-Tiers Wire Connector Installation Tool
Filed under: Electrical, Tools and Cases
I have something to confess. Only this afternoon, I "judged a book by its cover," and do you know what? I was wrong. I'll admit it. What was the so-called "book" that I misjudged? The Rack-A-Tiers Wire Connector Tool. And how, pray tell, did I go astray? I saw it, and automatically thought to myself: "that's the laziest thing I've ever seen!" But now I see the err of my ways…
Here's how it all started: I know how wire nuts work. I've used them. It's not rocket science, and when all is said and done, you're not exactly physically wrung out when the job is complete. So what self-respecting wire splicer would use something to make it even easier? But then, a little voice in my head shamed me by saying "What do you know, kid? You're no electrician! You're just an electrical newb!!!" And as it is in many cases, the voice was right. I had received my come-uppance. Who am I to judge, when I don't spend 40+ hours a week winding wires together?
As soon as I came crashing off my high horse, I started thinking about things from the professional electrician's perspective (i.e. the correct perspective), and immediately started appreciating this tool for what it is and how it works. Gripping and twisting wire connectors isn't too strenuous when you only have a few to get through, but if you have to knock out a bunch, day after day, your wrist and fingers are eventually going to start complaining. And you can't have that.
So, you're probably wondering how it all works. It's easy – the tool just slips over a wire connector, and you spin the handle around a couple of turns. Then you're officially in business. This is a great fatigue-reliever because there's no tight gripping or wrist twisting involved, and the best part of not getting tired is that you can work for longer, and get more done. But that's not even the best part. My favorite feature of this wire connector tool is that you don't have to twist the wires together ahead of time, before you can screw on a wire nut. Just hold the stripped wire ends together, and you're automatically good to go!

Is this a laser printer? Printing half a page is a typical symptom of
insufficient printer memory when printing graphics. Since you
mentioned elsewhere that it started happening after you got a new PC,
you could try the following:
See whether the printer driver needs an update.
See whether your printer has enough memory; 1M should be enough for
text; you may need 4M for graphics.
Check whether "Print TrueType Fonts as Graphics" has accidentally
gotten set. If your printer has this feature, you can find it by
opening Printers and Faxes, right-clicking the printer icon and
selecting Printing Preferences, click the Advanced button, and look
under Document Options. This should probably be turned off unless you
need it for some good reason.
Check out "Page Protect". Look under Printers and Faxes, right-click
the printer icon and select Properties, look on the Device Settings
tab. Try turning it on, if your printer has it. This makes sure that
the entire page is shipped to the printer before printing starts. This
can help if you have a slow connection to the printer.
More background:
In general, adding more memory does not speed up printing; it can
allow more complex jobs to be printed. It may allow the CPU to get the
job moved to the printer sooner (i.e. out of the queue). On the other
hand, RAM can be very inexpensive these days.
The CPU sends the job (preferably at least one page of it) to the
printer, where it sits in printer memory. The job might include text,
images, and downloaded fonts. The printer's rendering engine
translates the job into a pattern of dots, which also sit in printer
memory. Once the page has been translated or memory fills up, the
print engine starts moving at constant speed. Once the engine starts
moving, the CPU, wire, memory, and rendering engine have to keep
feeding dots. If they can't, the job fails. So it helps to have enough
memory to make sure that an entire page can be rendered.
If half a page prints correctly and the other half doesn't, and if the
problem is fixed by reducing resolution, you probably need more
printer memory.

Sterilise the poor and bring back the workhouse: Public's bizarre suggestions for spending cuts
Posted By aaron On July 13, 2010 @ 4:31 pm In Medical Tyranny,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Daily Mail
July 13, 2010
It is yet another brainchild of the new, open coalition: a website that allows the public to pinpoint where spending cuts can be made.
But once again, the idea has fallen victim to a string of outlandish suggestions – just like the scheme asking which bad laws should be scrapped.
They include forcing the poor to be sterilised, calling for a return of the workhouse and forcing benefits claimants to work in sweatshops.
Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander told her: 'Of course these aren't ideas I would wish to promote.'
Miss Eagle said the website currently featured 'such issues as sterilising the poor, reopening the workhouses, asking single parents who can't finance their children to terminate the pregnancy, benefit claimants to work in sweatshops and immigrants to be moved out of cities'.

Hats and Scarves
Wrapping scarves and wearing hats are hot trends this season. Give it a try by purchasing an inexpensive scarf and wrapping it around your head like a headband while your hair is down. You probably have one friend that loves to wear hats and you think you'd never pull it off as cute as she does. But, trust us. You can, and you should.

Black Lentil Celery Couscous with Jeweled Fruit
Celery is used twice in this dish: softened in the beginning with a little olive oil, and tossed in at the end for a decisive crunch. You may substitute traditional couscous for the whole wheat and brown or green lentils for the black ones. (The black ones are especially pretty, though.) Recipe reprinted with permission fromRipe: A Fresh, Colorful Approach to Fruits and Vegetables* © 2012 by Cheryl Sternman Rule, photography by Paulette Phlipot; Running Press, a member of the Perseus Book Group.
Serves: 6 to 8
- 1⁄2 cup black beluga lentils, picked over and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 large carrot, diced (about 1⁄2 cup)
- 4 stalks celery (no leaves), diced (about 2 cups)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2⁄3 cup mixed dried fruit (any combination of cranberries, cherries,
currants, golden raisins, apricots, figs, and/or dates), diced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
- Juice of 1 orange (about 1⁄4 cup, or 60ml)
- 1⁄2 cup pistachios
Place the lentils in a medium saucepan with 1 1⁄2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer very gently until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large serving bowl.
Meanwhile, place a large saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil, onion, carrot, one-fourth of the celery (1 stalk, about 1⁄2 cup), 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the dried fruit, 1 cup cold water, and the turmeric. Bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the couscous, remove from the heat, and cover for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Drizzle with the orange juice. Scrape into the bowl with the lentils.
Stir in the pistachios and the remaining diced celery. Season with salt and pepper. (You'll need at least 1⁄4 teaspoon more salt.) Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Collector's Corner

Rootstock and Clones in the Vineyard
When speaking of vines and vineyards, the conversation eventually makes its way to the subject of rootstock and clones. Both can contribute to the quality of the grapes the vineyard produces. To understand these terms the best place to start is with the grape vine.
Night and Day: Beneath the Moon and Under the Sun in the Vineyard
Preparations for harvest begin as the end of summer approaches. Pay close attention if you visit in August and you see the effort that goes into ensuring all the equipment is ready to run for long hours once harvest begins. In contrast, the vineyard looks like a peaceful oasis.
A Lesson: APOLOGUE and the FAY Vineyard
An apologue (ap- uh- log) is a dramatic story meant to convey a useful lesson or truth. And so goes the story of Nathan Fay, the grape-growing pioneer who first planted Cabernet Sauvignon in the region now known as the Stags Leap District. At the time, there were those who scoffed at the notion of planting Cabernet in the cooler climate south of Yountville. Nathan proved the skeptics wrong by growing grapes and producing wines of extraordinary flavor and texture. The FAY vineyard and Stags Leap District would become recognized as one of the world's best areas for growing Cabernet Sauvignon.
Notes From the Napa Valley 2010 Harvest
It was slow to start, with heavy spring rains, and a very cool summer. A summer long on sweaters and short on, well, shorts. A season delayed by 2-3 weeks and a lot of bets that the last grapes would be greeted at the weigh station by Thanksgiving turkeys. There was a high incidence of mildew in specific locations throughout the North Coast and the ensuing leafing in the fruit zone for exposure to more sunshine was meant to help maturity. Then Mother Nature was fickle and drenched the vineyards in a searing heat. The mildew was abated, but the sunburn and berry shriveling were now the issue. There was a lot of hand-wringing and grumbling, some were convinced that swarms of locust would arrive any minute. Some veterans were saying, "Never seen anything like this before" and "we'll never be able to get all these grapes in before the rainy season."
Integrated Pest Management: It's A Bug's Life
When most people look at a vineyard, they see an orderly series of vine rows marching off to a distant vanishing point. But for Kirk Grace, Vineyard Manager at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, the sight is something more akin to the movie "A Bug's Life." He knows that beneath the neatness and symmetry there is a wealth of activity —animal, plant, and insect life. It's a world-within-a-world, and although most people are unacquainted with it, in spring, it preoccupies Kirk on a daily basis.

Can anyone tell me if the AC induction motor that Tesla has developed is a PMAC motor or not. I find it hard to believe that they are getting that much regeneration from simply an AC induction motor. What an incredible piece if engineering. Test drove one for an hour and must own a couple of them. Can not wait for the model X to replace my gas guzzling QX-56. Does anyone know if there plans to make a sports car. The coupe is awesome and the crossover will be too. I may want a third and have the next generation of a roadster if there are plans for one. Someone should step up and help Elon and build upon the battery technology. Elon is such a visionary, you would think it would be contagious and someone would build on the battery technology. I can't imagine where we will be in 5 years with the advancements that Telsa is making today.
I understand a new roadster is tentatively planned for after the Gen3 car. So still a few years down the line.
No permanent magnets in Tesla motors.
Worry not. TM and Panasonic are on it.
The GenIII will incorporate some new tech that Elon can't reveal yet, he says.
If there are no permanant magnets in the rotor of the motor where is the incredible regen taking place. Is there an external generator or is the regen taking place strictly in the AC induction motor. I did not think that the field in the rotor of an AC induction motor could possibly hold a field for that long in regen mode. Does tesla make its own motors? Does telsa make its own inverters. I am impressed with the performance of both.
No external generators either.
Davep007 - Here's a great post from the Tesla Motors blog from a few years back discussing their use of the AC Induction motor in some detail...

German guns to be kept under 'fingerprint' locks
Posted By admin On April 15, 2009 @ 8:37 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled
In the wake of a school massacre in March in which 16 died, a courthouse shooting and numerous other gun deaths, all political parties have agreed the rules need to be severely tightened.
[efoods]There are ten million registered guns in the country and an estimated 10 million more illegal ones.
In addition to a centralised federal weapons register, officials want "biometric security" barriers for gun vaults and technology that would limit the use of pistols and revolvers to their owners.
Tim Kretschmer, 17, killed 15 people before shooting himself in a bloodbath at his former school near Stuttgart last month.
"There are interesting technical possibilities," said interior minister Wolfgang Schaeuble who is in talks with hunting groups and target-shooting associations.
Last week, a 60-year-old gunman opened fire in a courtroom in Bavaria, killing his sister-in-law and then himself in what police described as an inheritance dispute among seven siblings. Police say the shooter had a gun license.

South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics is said once again to have been selected for the building of the upcoming Nexus 5 smartphone, and some more details on its hardware specifications have emerged online.
Just as previous rumors suggested, the handset is expected to be designed based on the newly announced LG G2 flagship from the handset vendor, the same as last year's Nexus 4 was based on the Optimus G.
However, it appears that there will be a series of design changes, and that the volume and power buttons of Nexus 5 won't be placed on the back of the device, the same as on the G2. At least, this is what a new report from Tinhte claims.
Additionally, the new rumor suggests that the device will feature the same Snapdragon 800 CPU as LG's new flagship handset, and not the slower Snapdragon 600, as recently suggested.
One thing that remains to be seen at the moment is whether the inclusion of the Snapdragon 800 CPU inside Nexus 5 will affect its price tag, UnwiredView notes.
LG was said before to have opted in for the Snapdragon 600 chipset for the device so as to ensure that it will arrive on shelves at the same $299 price tag as the 8GB flavor of Nexus 4 did.
The Nexus 5 is also expected to hit the market with a 5.2-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a full HD resolution, similar to the LG G2. The yet unannounced Google phone should also feature a very thin bezel.
The outer design of the handset will be different than the one that G2 packs at the moment, though it remains to be seen whether there will be changes to the internal circuitry as well.
Nexus 5 is said to be slated for launch sometime in October or November this year, yet no official confirmation on any of this has been provided, and we'll take the info with a grain of salt for the time being. Stay tuned for more on this.
