Looks good! How did you do that?
When you get everything together and start riding it, look for signs of overheating.If there are any it might be due to your wrinkle paint job.There are flat black paints made for use on BBQ's and wood burning stoves that have almost no insulating qualities so they will work great on cylinder fins. The heat will pass right thru them.The wrinkle paint being used is good up to temperatures of 350*F so it should last on a finned cylinder. That doesn't mean it's a good thing to have on a cylinder though.Just because a paint is called a High Temperature paint does not mean it has low insulating properties. It means high temperatures won't cause the paint layer to break down.The ability to allow heat to pass thru the paint layer is not true with many paints and I suspect a paint that wrinkles may in fact be rather poor at heat transfer.The wrinkles themselves create thicker layers and that can't be good for letting heat pass thru them.I did look at the available information for VHT Wrinkle Plus but it didn't have any data on heat transfer.It did give several areas that can get up into the 200*F temperature range like valve covers but it did not include air cooled engine cylinder fins as a suggested place to apply it.Hopefully it will not cause a problem. It does look good on the fins.
So it's pretty much looks like that the AVL can take a lot of mods from Ace fireball iron barrel ? I knew there were similarities but it's always fun to read your posts
The custom big valves(1.8" intake, 1.57" exhaust) on new seats are installed, porting work done, the mods done for installing the beehive valve spring package, the chamber re-shaping has been done, the head skimmed .010" for flat surface, alloy 32mm manifold is installed and flow-matched to the head,and it is on the flow bench now to get the final flow numbers. Then the coatings go in the chamber and exhaust port.I will probably have the flow numbers early next week. Very slight chance I might get the numbers later tonight if they can finish that today.Ace Air Canister for TM32 is finished and waiting to be shipped with the head.Piston needed no valve reliefs cut in for this. If the lift was increased, then we'd have to do it.
Update:Tooseevee's head is done!I have the flow bench sheet and the bill.I have not picked up the head yet, so I don't have pics. I will take some pics and post them when I pick up the head next week.
Here's the flow test sheet for Tooseevee's head in the attachment below(pdf).They called it the "Big Head" because it looks similar to the old Big Head, and so they started calling it the "new Big Head". So, that's why the file name is like that.The columns labeled "1" for intake and exhaust, are the "before" flow test, and the columns labeled "2" for intake and exhaust, are the "after" flow test.Note how the exhaust port is no longer backing up at lifts over .350", and the port is much more stable.Also note how we now achieve more intake flow at .350" lift, than the OEM port flowed at .600" lift(if it could have ever gotten there!) But if we put our roller rockers in there, it could take advantage of all the increased flow up to 213 cfm @ .600" lift with the same porting that we put in it for this job.In the AVL, the stock rockers are approximately 1.1:1 ratio, so the approximate max lift will be around .330". So, you can ballpark the flow level to be between the .300" and .350" rows on the chart.This job was done to get the power improved in the normal rev-range, and so we estimate probably 6000 peak hp rpm, similar to the Fireball. It will rev above that, though, if he wants to, but it will just hold roughly the same peak power for a hundred rpm over the peak hp rpm, if necessary.There will be a nice increase in the midrange torque, where most people are interested in riding.Now, this is our response to what Tooseevee asked for, and we feel that this is a good package for the "AVL Fireball" type of head work. It fits the same niche as the Iron Barrel Fireball does.However, if people want less or more, or even a lot more for racing or something, we can respond to those needs also. We can put the roller rockers into this head too.So, we can meet almost any request for power upgrades on the AVL now.
Thank you a big bunch, Tom, and thank all the other guys at Mondello's for me. I hope I've maybe helped some other guys with AVLs (the last engine with the true vintage look) to do some mods they might be on the fence about

More wins, more yards, more accurate. That's why he's the first MWC QB on the list. -JJ
Performance against Florida State in a BCS bowl aside, Lynch is second only to Johnny Manziel in his ability to put up video-game numbers as a dual-threat QB. -CS
Martinez has vastly improved his accuracy. He needs a Big Ten title to vault him into Top-10 territory. -JJ
He's more accurate and he's won more games than Morris (Miami) and Thomas (Virginia Tech). He's thrown for more TDs as well. -JJ

Côte d'Ivoire - Population
The overall population of the country by July 2001 estimates stood at 16,393 221. The growth rate has fallen to around 2% per annum, a result of falling fertility rates, lower immigration and the effect of AIDS. The infection rate of HIV/AIDS is one of the highest in West Africa
Over a third of the population consists of first- and second-generation foreigners, mainly Burkinabè, Malian, Guinean and of Ghanaian origin. Clashes over land ownership have occurred periodically since 1999, mostly between indigenous populations in the southwest and immigrant farmers from neighbouring Burkina Faso and Mali.
In recent years the country has become one of the most urbanized countries in West Africa - according to UN estimates 44% of all Ivorians live in towns, government estimates put the figure at 60%. The population of Abidjan, the administrative centre, was estimated at 3,2m in 1998. The proportion of poor in the country, and most notably in the urban areas, has grown sharply and at the same time social services have deteriorated country wide.
Refugees and Internally Displaced People's (IDPs)
According to conservative estimates, Cote dIvoire hosted more than 1220,000 Liberian refugees and some 1,535,000 Sierra Leoneons (many of whom have been in the country for more than a decade) in the western part of the country at the end of 2001. Although several thousand Libarian refugees repatriated during 2001, at least 40,000 new Liberian refugees arrived in Cote dIvoire during 2002 following the renewed outbreak of fighting in Liberia.
Healthcare provision is generally inadequate. In an effort to address problem of healthcare in the country, the government launched an ambitious public health development programme in 1996. The programme targets infrastructural development and mother and child care initiatives.
AIDS is seen to be a growing threat with Côte dIvoire having high infection rates of around 10.8% (one of the highest in West Africa) and consequent declining population growth rates. The government has received financial assistance from France for prevention and care programmes, and in March 2001 succeeded in securing a deal with leading pharmaceutical firms to slash the price of HIV/AIDS treatments, making it the first country in Africa to benefit from such a deal.
Food security
Low-income food deficit country. Major foodcrops: roots and tubers, fruit, rice, maize. Following an above-average cereal harvest in 1999, the overall food supply situation in 2000 was satisfactory. Import requirements (mainly wheat & rice) for 2000 were 156% of the 5-yr. average, a consequence of civil unrest affecting marketing activities.
Following an above-average cereal harvest in 2001, the overall food supply situation for 2002 is satisfactory. The cereal import requirement for the 2002 marketing year is estimated at 1 025 000 tonnes, mainly rice and wheat.
Since the early 1980s standards of education at all levels have been dropping, as evidenced also by the markedly low literacy rates. In 1997 less than half the population were literate, well below regional averages. Discontent on the university campuses has frequently spilled over into the streets and schools.

[VIDEO] MSFT: Google Chrome Steals Your Privacy
Microsoft has hit out at Google's Chrome browser, claiming that it doesn't respect users' privacy.
Microsoft recently posted a video called "Google Chrome Steals Your Privacy" to its TechNet Website. The video explained why Microsoft didn't trust Chrome's privacy and used Internet Explorer 8 as a comparison.
The video has since disappeared but not before Ars Technica saw it and dissected the accusations made. Ars reports that the main accusation Microsoft makes is that Google's move to consolidate both the search and address bar means more of your information is being sent to Google. IE8, on the other hand, keeps these separate and sends less of your information to the search provider.
"As I start to type an address into the address bar, Fiddler [a Web debugging proxy] shows that for nearly every character I type, Chrome sends a request back to Google," Ars cites IE product manager Pete LePage as saying. "I haven't even hit enter yet to load the website and Google is already getting information about the domain and sites I'm visiting."
Next LePage shows us how different things look when you do the same thing using Internet Explorer 8. He begins to type the same address into the URL bar and sure enough, nothing is sent to Microsoft until he presses enter.
Ars Technica's Emil Protalinski writes that the way LePage worded his first argument presents a problem.
"LePage makes an important mistake in his accusation against Google: his statement should not be "Chrome sends a request back to Google" but it should be "Chrome sends a request back to the search provider." He makes this distinction with IE8 but does not with Chrome. The information is being sent so that the search provider can help the user choose a query right in their browser."
Protalinski goes on to say that after downloading Fiddler, it became apparent that Chrome could also be set to send that information to Bing. Not only that but the same "sending information on every keystroke" behaviour is only true for the address bar.
"As we suspected, Chrome can be set to send information on every keystroke to Bing (or any other search engine that supports Search Suggestions) instead of Google. The same behavior occurs in IE8, but only in the search bar. LePage is only correct in his assertion that IE8 does not send information to anyone when the user types into the address bar."
[EDIT] Some kind soul has uploaded the video to YouTube. Check it out for yourself below.

Kevin Smith did have issues with Bruce Willis on the set of "Cop Out," Kevin Smith didn't have issues with Bruce Willis on the set of "Cop Out." Which one is it? In a 2009 interview, the "Clerks" filmmaker called the action star "undirectable," but later qualified that statement with, "I think somebody took that as negative. It's not like, "Ahh, I can't deal with him!" It's just how do you direct Bruce Willis to play Bruce Willis? I can direct Jason Mewes to play Jay. I can direct Affleck to play a fucking angel — or to kill his career as a grieving father. But I can't fucking tell Bruce Willis how to be Bruce Willis — cause he's fucking Bruce Willis!"
Fair enough, but in a very recent interview on Marc Maron's podcast (via Film Drunk), Smith was singing a completely different tune and essentially let his true feeling fly uncensored.
"It was difficult," he said of working with Willis. "I've never been involved in a situation like that where, one component is not in the box at all. It was fucking soul crushing. I mean, a lot of people are gonna be like, 'Oh, you're just trying to blame the movie on him.' No, but I had no fucking help from this dude whatsoever."
In the earlier interview, Smith basically called out the actor by name, saying one person was easy to work with on the film and it wasn't Willis. "Tracy Morgan, I would lay down in traffic for. Were it not for Tracy, I might've killed myself or someone else in the making of that movie."
So why did Smith take the "Cop Out" film director's gig when Warner Brothers offered it to him in the first place, from a screenplay he hadn't written? "I needed to see marketing from the inside for some shit I got comin up," he said. Hey, again, fair enough, we're not gonna judge there and frankly, we're pleased Smith is being candid with his thoughts on Willis. Now, let's put all these beefs behind us. "Red State," his upcoming American-set horror looks pretty good based upon the teaser trailer we've seen. Maybe this is Smith's new calling.

Ok I converted the video, only problem is it's 18 megs. I have no clue how flash managed to compress the whole thing down to 3.7 megs, it's amazing. Anyway, I'm using DIVX fast-motion at 250kbps with 44k 16 bit audio. If anyone has any ideas how to reduce the size without making the video choppy, please let me know.
Also, I know a bunch of you wanted to save the video, anyone know where I can stick this thing up for download? I don't think this forum allows me to attach files that big.

Earth, wind and fire: Predicting the path of a wild one
According to the Texas Forest Service, 120 of Texas' 254 counties are under outdoor burning bans, set by county judges or county commissioners, because of extremely dry conditions. Nearly half of the state was experiencing moderate to extreme drought as of mid-November, according to TexasWaterInfo.net, and the drought is predicted to persist or intensify in many stricken areas through winter.
This past weekend, the extremely dry conditions, combined with strong winds, sparked grass fires in many North Texas counties.
A geographical information system, however, can determine the burn path of a grass fire, giving nearby residents warning before the fire spreads to their homes, says a University of North Texas biology professor.
Earl Zimmerman creates a fire model, which he describes as a "dress rehearsal" for an actual fire using a geographic information system. The system, commonly known as GIS, is a computer package that overlays multiple layers of information to build a pattern.
He creates a fire model by programming various conditions -- such as vegetation types, wind velocity and direction, geological strata, altitude, fire ignition points and human population sites -- programmed onto the virtual GIS landscape to determine the most likely path a fire will take.
"If the fire's path is known in advance, residents in its way can be alerted to the impending threat," Zimmerman says.
Zimmerman has provided information from his GIS work to the U.S. Department of the Interior, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to assist in fighting fires.

Hello All,
I just joined the forum and was hoping to find out if anyone can offer advice on 29ers?
I was at a shop yesterday and looked at all kinds.
I drilled it down to two companies I"m trying to decide on - Specialized or Gary Fisher.
There two specific models I'm looking at:
* Gary Fisher "Mamba"
* Specialized "Rockhopper"
Can you all help me decide which is a better option? It seems like the Specialized bike offers a bit more room for customization (i.e. switching gear ratios, moving to single speed, etc.), but I like the way the Gary Fisher frame looks and feels.
They are both very close in price. What are your thoughts?

It's tough to play it cool on a sultry summer night . . .
The perfect daughter. The perfect prom queen. The perfect wife. Jenny Tolliver's been the good girl all her life, and it's gotten her nowhere. Now that her marriage has been busted up by her cheating ex, she's decided it's time to regroup and rediscover herself. This summer she's headed back to her hometown of Destiny, Ohio, to the very lakeshore cottage where she grew up, to figure out what life holds in store for her next.
She never dreamed the answer would be Mick Brody, Destiny's #1 hellraiser. He comes from the wrong side of the tracks (or in his case, the lake), and he's landed in hot water more times than he can count. He's exactly the kind of guy Jenny's always kept her distance from . . . but soon the good girl and the bad boy are caught in a raw heat that's out of control. Too bad Mick's got a secret that threatens to tear them apart and ruin Jenny's perfectly, passionately reckless summer . . .
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Thoughts: At first glance, the cover looks really generic but a bit inviting as well. And while it screams summer beach read, with the coolness of fall, it was nice to vacate to a warmer climate even if it was only in my mind. Now, since completing the book, I can better appreciate the landscape depicted for the lake, swimsuit and canoe are all very important to this novel.
Single Title/Series: ONE RECKLESS SUMMER is book one in the Destiny Series. It'll be a grouping of stories taking place in the small Ohio town of Destiny. Although they'll all be loosely tied, you can read ONE RECKLESS SUMMER and all the following series titles as stand alone novels.
Why I read it: I was first introduced to Toni Blake by Barbara. After describing her favorite Blake novel, TEMPT ME TONIGHT, I knew I had to read it. First of all, I'm a huge fan of small town romance. I've always wanted to live in a small town where everyone knows everyone and all their drama. Where you can leave your front door unlocked without the slightest fear. But even better, my all time favorite romance theme is unrequited love and TEMPT ME TONIGHT had that in spades. The book also became apart of my best reads for 2009. So when I discovered that Blake was writing a series about the small town of Destiny and her Destinyites, I was hooked before I even purchased the book.
My Review:
Jenny Tolliver is on the down slide from an okay marriage that ended with her husband cheating on her with a twenty-one-year-old child and is now back in her hometown of Destiny, Ohio - a.k.a. June Cleaver central. For as long as she can remember, Jenny has always been "good Jenny" where her worst committed offense was canoeing across the lake with her best friend Sue Ann in high school. Even her ex-husband claimed she was too good for the sex life he wanted and thus having to turn to a different and younger source to slake his seedier lust. Staying at her dad's house for the summer, Jenny's sole hope is to stick her head in a hole with the occasional outing to peer through her beloved telescope. But when the perfect star-gazing night turns into wild sex with a stranger that's not really a stranger, Jenny finds herself and her life on whole new path.
For Jenny, the summer in Destiny becomes a coming of age story despite her thirty-one years. Her whole life she's done nothing but try and be the perfect child, the perfect teenager and then the perfect wife. Now, when someone mentions how good she is, Jenny feels like flaying the skin from her bones. Never has she done something with her life where she hasn't weighed the thoughts and potential reaction of others and she's tired of it, tired of never really having lived. When bad-boy Mick Brody re-enters her life, Jenny will convince herself of absolutely anything to continue having a passionate affair with a man who finally truly wants her, even if it means that she's potentially aiding and abetting a criminal.
Mick Brody has always been the wrong guy from the wrong side of the tracks but in his case, it was more the wrong side of the lake. Growing up with two cruel parents and a brother bent on breaking the law is bad enough, but living with those circumstances in a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone is even worse. The Brody name to this day is still uttered with disgust in Destiny and if it wasn't for the dire situation that Mick currently finds himself in, he wouldn't have ever come back.
After first following his brother to the wrong side of the law, Mick learned quickly that the vigilante life wasn't for him when his brother was thrown in jail and he was left to fend for himself. Now he's made something of himself, nothing grand but the feel of being right and self-sufficient has given Mick an inner peace that he's never felt before. Unfortunately his peace turns to hell when he's dragged back to Destiny but Mick isn't too lonely for long.
When he finds Jenny Tolliver trespassing, he can't believe that it's her. He's always had a thing for Jenny even though they've only ever spoken a handful of words to one another. But with his situation being highly precarious, the last thing Mick needs is someone aware of his presence in Destiny. But when his gruff attempts to scare Jenny off is first met with resistance and then surprisingly turns into wild abandon on the forest floor, Mick helplessly revels in the temporary escape of ecstasy. Unfortunately, Jenny knowing that he's back in Destiny is a big and dangerous problem with her father being the chief of police and all. Mick, deciding to keep tabs on her, canoes across to her side of the lake periodically and the beautiful little house and life that he always dreamed of being apart of. Now if only he can manage to keep himself falling in love with the girl and the dream that he's always wished for.
ONE RECKLESS SUMMER, while enjoyable, was disappointingly predictable. There seemed to be a distinct pattern to the book. Step one: Jenny and Mick would have wild sex. Step two: Afterwards, Jenny's wallowing in guilt and going to her best friend for comfort. Step three: Jenny meets up with her dad and feels horribly guilty again but this time for not telling him that she's having an affair with a criminal. Step four: Repeat with Jenny diving back under the sheets with Mick. This cycle repeated about four times and made it very hard for me to retain interest in the novel.
In addition, ORS lacked the sexual tension that I was expecting from Blake. I know what she can deliver and it felt too easy with Mick and Jenny. I'm not one to mind sex within the first chapter but it was just too easy for Mick and Jenny to fall back into bed again after that first time. I was hoping that gnawing sexual tension would force them into having sex again but instead it only took a few choice words on Mick's part to leave Jenny panting for more.
When I was talking to Barbara about this book I explained it as such: ONE RECKLESS SUMMER was like a term paper that met all the professors criteria in every way but lacked the extra something special that snags the A grade. In this case Blake has the requisite bad boy, hot sex and a reluctant hero and heroine that are true to their characters but there's nothing beyond this to make the novel stand out. It's enjoyable but completely forgettable.

Employees naturally expect to be treated well by the company that produces theGreat Places to Work lists for 23 countries. So when Amy Lyman, president of theinstitute, wanted to put together a package for the company's first expatriateassignment, she struggled with how to make it good--but not too good.
In 2001, the institute already had several affiliates established in foreigncountries, but Lyman needed someone with experience to set up the 100 BestCompanies in Europe list. Fortunately, the employee who had established theoriginal Best Companies structure for the U.S. lists wanted to move abroad, andher partner had dual citizenship in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. "Theyboth saw relocating as an exciting opportunity for them, not as being uprooted.It made tremendous sense for both of them," Lyman says.
But Lyman didn't have the first idea what needed to be done. She admitsthat she was very naive about the complexities of arranging an expatriateassignment. "My biggest problem was creating a compensation package that wouldwork for anyone we moved overseas, not just something special" for therelocating employee.
Lyman also quickly discovered that the institute's tax accountant did nothave enough expertise in foreign taxation laws to manage the assignment. "As asmall company doing this for the first time, we needed someone who could explaineverything, from how to compensate for housing and living costs to how to count401(k) contributions and pay medical benefits in the U.K."
Finding a service provider that talked to her in plain English about the taximplications was critical to the success of the assignment. "It's amazinghow complex the tax laws are," she says. "If we had done this on our own, itwould have been a financial disaster."
Lyman used a firm that specializes in expatriate tax law, which helped heravoid some costly mistakes. For example, she initially wanted to go with an "easyfix," raising the expatriate's salary to accommodate all of her financialneeds in the U.K., but quickly learned it was not the right approach. "Wefound out that it was better to set the salary at what it would be in the U.S.and add living adjustments." That way, the compensation expectations for theemployee's return were managed, and Lyman can justify the package if otheremployees want to know why they aren't receiving the same amount.
Because they got the expertise early on, the assignment was a success, somuch so that the expatriate asked to extend her stay an additional two years,Lyman says. "It changes the tax situation, but we trust that our tax personwill make it work."

Weird video and photo: See the human Smurfs - the people with blue skin
12:07 24 August 2012
See the man who had the blues and couldn't help but show it - one of the world's human Smurfs.
Ching Foo of China was born with a blue face, although the rest of his body was normal.
Being blue-skinned isn't quite as unusual as you might think.
The Fugate family of Kentucky developed a hereditary blue skin condition affecting dozens of kin in the 1800s.
Also watch the video above to see Paul Karason, a modern-day American with a blue colour skin who looks a lot like Papa Smurf.
He started turning blue when he used a silver preparation to treat a skin condition.
The 'Blue-Faced Man' Ching Foo features at the Ripley's Believe It or Not attraction at London's Piccadilly Circus.
It's included here as one of the top 10 weirdest Ripley's London exhibits as chosen by London24 editor Simon Bull. This is number two on the list.
We are counting down through more of the most bizarre sights at the museum this week. See tomorrow for the number one weirdest exhibit at Ripley's.

Soap opera appeals to women who are interested in other people's business. If we didn't have television, they'd be staring in neighbour's windows to find out what's going on.
There's a fact about village life that cannot be denied. One's affairs become public knowledge sooner or later. When a busy-body is short of fresh gossip, she'll resurrect an old scandal. Our resident tell-all cornered me in the village shop. She wanted to know what I thought about nuisance parking. Years ago, I parked my tractor outside when I popped in to buy tobacco and she's never let me forget it. I waved my walking stick towards the door and departed her company at a brisk pace. The woman is a primitive reporter; twitching with half-truths, fiction and hearsay. She heckles me at council meetings, I don't know why, I have a right to express an opinion as a pillar of the community and a pensioner.
Three cheers for 21st century journalism! The highest standards of education are combined with the very best in technology to bring us worthy news. How dare a sparsely educated gossip assume authority to scatter details of my life? Bring back the bridle and confiscate her diet of tatmags and sexual innuendo. She yells at me as I walk down the street. 'Do you remember old Pat from the Bucket Shop? You were doing more than potato picking with her that in that top field of yours, weren't you, Mr. Chinslade?'
No matter. Silence speaks for me. Purveyors of rumour, supposition and innuendo cannot thrive if they are ignored, wherever their orbit might be.

M-1 The Crab Nebula
This is M-1, a supernova remnant located in Taurus. It is perhaps the most well known supernova remnant. It was noted on July 4, 1054 A.D. by Chinese astronomers. It was perhaps about as bright as the Full Moon and visible in daylight for 23 days.

2. Chairman's report
Once again, our year has been greatly affected by the passage of the new legislation. The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act gained Royal Assent on May 1st 2002, finally bringing into law the comprehensive reforms to the leasehold system towards which our efforts have been concentrated for so long.
The Act has had little effect to date, as we continue to wait for the provisions to be commenced. Some of the welcome changes to freehold purchase and extension of leases were introduced in July, but none of the remaining matters were commenced during the remainder of the year. While we fully appreciate the need for the drafting of regulations and concur with the move back to prescription of the many forms required, we have to regret the continued delay in bringing to the leasehold sector the new rights and remedies the Government has decided upon.
During passage of the Bill, both the Lords and the Commons raised concerns in being required to consider and vote upon matters still requiring the drafting of regulations; our view then was that the proposed primary legislation should be scrutinised together with the supporting regulations, in order to properly assess whether the proposals as a whole would be likely to achieve the desired result.
It seems regrettable that these significant changes to leasehold law should, at the end of 2002-3, still not be available.
LEASE reacted to the amendments to freehold purchase and lease extension in a redraft of five of our advice notes; these were posted on our website on the day of commencement of the legislation and available in hard copy very soon thereafter. We will produce new publications on the Right to Manage and all the other major changes, and will ensure that this written advice is fully and freely available to the public immediately upon the commencement of each of the provisions.
We anticipate a high level of interest in the new right for leaseholders to take over the management of their building and have some concern as to the general availability of professional advice and help. Leaseholders will need proper support and assistance; we hope that both the legal and property management professionals will react to the situation and the new market opportunities it offers.
In addition to new advice notes and our input to the drafting of the regulations, we felt we should do a little more to inform the professions, and arranged our own conference on the new law. This was a first for LEASE, but something we deemed appropriate to our wider advisory role.
As well as publications and conferences, we recognise our task in disseminating knowledge of the new law to all sides of the leasehold sector - leaseholders, landlords, managers and their professional advisers, if it all is to work as the Government intends. Commonhold continues to hover on the horizon, apparently never getting any nearer; we now understand that commencement is unlikely before spring 2004. There will need to be preparation during the coming year for our advisory role in commonhold, including advice to the Lord Chancellor's Department in the preparation of the extensive regulations that will be required. LEASE remains concerned at the lack of any adequate provision in the legislation for dispute resolution and the apparent complacency of the Department towards this. There seems an easy assumption that in a commonhold there will be little cause for dispute, with no landlord to worry about and everyone pulling together to a common end. Our experience and research of the equivalent Australian system paints a rather less rosy picture.
The past year has shown a substantial increase in advice output by LEASE, but with the expected further demand likely to arise from the new legislation, we cannot afford to rest on our laurels.
As Chairman, I was, naturally, very pleased with the highly positive results of the customer satisfaction survey arranged during the year by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. While my Board is satisfied that LEASE provides the service expected by both our clients and our paymasters, it was reassuring to receive such a complimentary report, confirming our own views of the service the organisation provides.
I was pleased that LEASE's performance, both in service output and customer satisfaction, has enabled the Minister to approve a further three-year period of funding, and a sufficient grant for 2003-4 to allow the recruitment of an additional adviser. My Board shares with the Minister concerns at the reliance of LEASE on the public purse, and we will need to look at this in coming year. Whatever form of income generation might be considered, LEASE remains committed to the provision of free advice.
I look forward to an interesting year to come, with the new law beginning to take effect, and I express my appreciation, as ever, of the input of my fellow Board members and the staff of LEASE.
3. About LEASE
3.1 LEASE is unique in providing a source of free specialist legal advice on all aspects and issues relating to residential leasehold. We are recognised as a centre of excellence on the subject, and as a resource readily available not only to leaseholders and landlords, but also to professionals working in the sector - solicitors, surveyors and managing agents.
We publish a wide range of advice materials, available both in hard copy and on our comprehensive website; the website also provides unique access to all decisions and determinations of the Leasehold Valuation Tribunals relating to purchases and lease extensions under the Leasehold Reform Act 1993, as well as to disputes over service changes and management under the Landlord and Tenant Acts 1985 and 1987.
3.2 LEASE has a formal role in the provision of advice to Government, through our agreed work programme, on issues of leasehold reform and the development of commonhold. This advice is provided both directly by LEASE, from our special perspective as the recipient of some 23,000 enquiries per year, and through our stewardship of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Working Party.
3.3 LEASE is an independent private company, managed by a Board.
4. What LEASE does
4.1 LEASE is an independent service providing free advice on all aspects of residential leasehold in England and Wales. The advice is impartial and is provided to leaseholders, landlords, professional advisers and agents and anyone else with an interest in leasehold property; it is given on legal rights, responsibilities and remedies sufficient for the client to proceed on a self-help basis. Our objective is that the client should be adequately informed and confident of his or her position to then be able to resolve the situation or to seek the appropriate professional assistance. We do not act on behalf of or represent clients, nor provide any long-term casework. It is not our role to replace the services offered by solicitors, valuers and other relevant professionals.
4.2 LEASE provides advice and information on the following areas:
- Rights, obligations and remedies of residential leasehold tenants;
- Service charges and application to Leasehold Valuation Tribunals, forfeiture and possession;
- Rights relating to information and the management of the building;
- Rights and procedures for freehold purchase and lease extension;
- Proposals for leasehold reform and the introduction of commonhold.
Advice is provided by telephone, by correspondence and email, in person to visitors to the office, at on-site meetings with interested groups, through the LEASE website and through a range of published material. In addition, LEASE provides training in leasehold for local authorities, housing associations and professional bodies.
4.3 LEASE is entirely funded by grant-aid from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and the National Assembly for Wales, under the provisions of Section 94, Housing Act 1996.
5. The demand for advice
5.1 There is little doubt that the passage of the leasehold reform proposals through Parliament has increased expectations by leaseholders. However, there also seems to be evidence that the small percentage of landlords and managers prepared to exploit the system have been intensifying their activities before the new law curtails them. Whatever the reasons, LEASE experienced a very high levels of demand during the year, necessitating some changes to working arrangements.
The result is, for the second year, a substantial increase in our advice provision, at 22,981 responses to enquiries; this represents a 26% increase over the 2001-2 total of 18,157.
6. Customer Satisfaction Survey
6.1 As part of the conditions of our grant, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister wished to evaluate LEASE's service prior to renewal of approval; ODPM commissioned MORI to carry out a customer satisfaction survey.
The survey was carried out during summer/autumn 2002 and based on a sample of 1,001 LEASE clients randomly selected by MORI from our client data base. Methodology was a telephone survey plus the results of a number of focus groups; LEASE took no part in nor had any influence in the conduct of the survey.
6.2 The objectives of the survey were:
- to establish the existing standard of LEASE services to users;
- to identify the level of satisfaction of users;
- to make recommendations where improvements could be made;
- to investigate opportunities and implications of charging users for the service;
- to provide a baseline to measure future performance.
6.3 The findings of the survey were most encouraging. We believe that the services we provide are of a high standard and that LEASE is operated in an efficient and cost-effiective manner; anecdotal evidence from clients confirms these views. While we were confident that the survey would substantiate our own perception of the service, we were favourably surprised with the levels of satisfaction shown.
To quote: 'The service provided by LEASE is rated very highly by the majority of its customers and is clearly a service that is largely meeting the needs of its customers.'
'87% rated the service as fairly or very good (indeed, two-thirds of those rating the service as good rated it as very good)'
'84% said they were satisfied with the way LEASE had dealt with their specific query or problem, and 92% said their experience of the service would lead them to recommend the service to others.'
6.4 Inevitably, the principal area of dissatisfaction was with the difficulties experienced by clients in getting through to LEASE on the telephone. We remain acutely aware of this problem, but have to accept that it is simply a result of our limited resources; there are only seven full-time advisers available and just two telephone receptionists dealing with a level of demand ultimately beyond our means. We have introduced a low-cost, local rate telephone line in an attempt to reduce costs for those clients required to wait on the line to speak to an adviser, but remain concerned about the problem. In the coming year, the appointment of an additional adviser, enabled by a generous increase in grant, will assist.
6.5 While a majority of respondents said they would be prepared to pay for advice, the amounts suggested would not provide an economically viable platform for LEASE. The original concept of the advisory service, from our inception in 1994, was the provision of free advice and we are reluctant to move from this position.

7.1 We were pleased to see the eventual enactment of this comprehensive reform legislation on May 1st. While LEASE fully appreciates the requirement for extensive regulations and forms, we are disappointed by the very slow progress in commencement of these important changes. Some of the changes to freehold acquisition and lease extension were commenced in July, but nothing else was forthcoming for the remainder of both the calendar and the financial year. After the considerable build-up toward the legislation, it seems regrettable that the leasehold sector has to continue to wait.
7.2 LEASE fully recognises our major task in dissemination and education arising from these changes; not only do we need to ensure familiarity of leaseholder and landlord with the new rights and requirements; there is also a pressing requirement for professional advisers to be fully competent in the procedures.
We will be revising our existing advice notes and publishing new ones to coincide with the various commencement dates. We were able to complete redrafting of our five advice notes on enfranchisement issues in time for the July commencement; these were available on the website on the commencement date and as hard copy two weeks later. For collective enfranchisement, the part-commencement has resulted in a transitional situation with some new provisions alongside those already existing; the delay in introducing the requirement for the right to enfranchise company and the right to participate has been a source of confusion. The two notes on collective enfranchisement have been revised to show the transitional situation on the website, correct on day of viewing, and the printed copy carries an addendum sheet.
Advice notes are proposed to cover the right to manage, and the new jurisdictions and procedures for applications to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal; we have recently published a comprehensive guide to service charges, ground rent and forfeiture.
We will also need to revise most of the remaining notes and there may be a case for a new note on participation agreements in the context of the RTE company. These will be produced to meet the remaining commencement dates.
7.3 In addition to written advice, LEASE needs to further explore means for open dissemination of information. We have already spoken at public meetings arranged by Hastings Council and this provides a model for future events.
Many public sector landlords are recognising the needs of their leaseholders for information and are arranging 'leaseholder days'; during the past year, LEASE has made presentations for Aldwyck, Windsor, Wales and West Housing Associations and for Dacorum and East Hants. Councils. Again, this is a route to be developed further.
7.4 It was not unexpected that the provisions for commonhold were not commenced during the year, and we look forward to its introduction in the next year. LEASE responded to the lengthy but comprehensive consultation paper issued by the Lord Chancellor's Department, and we would hope for a further opportunity to input to the drafting of the regulations.
LEASE retains considerable concerns at the lack of any substantive machinery for dispute resolution within a commonhold. From Ministerial statements during passage of the Bill, there is perhaps a degree of complacency which seems to assume that, in the context of an association of unit owners managing the building together, the absence of a third party landlord will raise little cause for dispute. The legislation provides for regulations on 'enforcement and compensation' and a requirement for membership of an ombudsman scheme. From our understanding of the Australian experience in strata living, there is a need for considerably more than this.
LEASE was represented at a conference on dispute resolution in strata-title in Melbourne and heard presentations from the different state legislations. It was general across the states that the majority - more than 60% - of all disputes requiring mediation, adjudication or a determination from the Residential Tribunal were between unit-owners and related to the use and occupation of the flats; disputes between the unit-owner and the owners' corporation, appropriate to referral to an ombudsman, were relatively few. There can be little doubt that the Australian experience should provide guidance for commonhold, and LEASE considers the development of an effective dispute resolution machinery vital to the effective future operation of commonhold.
We will continue discussion with LCD and with the Independent Housing Ombudsman.
7.5 There is no question that the overall effect of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, when fully implemented, will bring about major improvements to the leasehold sector and provide greater rights and powers for leaseholders.
8. Working with other organisations
8.1 In the past year, we have continued to develop our working relationships with other organisations and have made new contacts; some of these demand particular mention:
8.2 AIMS (Advice, Information and Mediation Service for the retirement sector). We were pleased, and much relieved, to see AIMS survive its funding problems and return fully functioning. AIMS is an important referral point for leasehold issues in purpose-built retirement flats, in that they are able to provide both a meditaion service and to act directly on their clients' behalf in pursing problems. LEASE attended the annual AIMS Policy Forum and will be co operating with AIMS in the redrafting of our joint advice publication Leasehold Retirement Housing to include the new legislation.
7.4 It was not unexpected that the provisions for commonhold were not commenced during the year, and we look forward to its introduction in the next year. LEASE responded to the lengthy but comprehensive consultation paper issued by the Lord Chancellor's Department, and we would hope for a further opportunity to input to the drafting of the regulations.
LEASE retains considerable concerns at the lack of any substantive machinery for />8.3 ARHM (Association of Retirement Housing Managers). Characteristically, the ARHM acted quickly in arranging a series of training sessions for their members on the new Act in May. LEASE contributed to the training seminars and also spoke at the ARHM Annual Conference in June and the Winter Seminar in December. The ARHM produced the first code of management practice under 1993 Act powers and is now revising this to incorporate the requirements of the new legislation.
8.4 ARMA (Association of Residential Managing Agents). ARMA shares with LEASE concerns about the practical management of property through the right to manage. The Association is anxious to ensure, as far as it is able, a resource of professional managing agents able and is willing to provide both initial advice and property management services to RTM Companies. Much of the early advice needed by leaseholders working toward RTM will be on management issues outside the expertise of the average solicitor and there is a clear need to develop an advice expertise within the management profession.
8.5 CIH (Chartered Institute of Housing). LEASE remains concerned at general levels of awareness of the legislation and general management practices in the public sector. The Chartered Institute is taking steps toward an overall improvement in both areas through its annual Leasehold Management Conference and its proposed publication of a Good Practice Guide.
LEASE has spoken at the past six annual Leasehold Management Conferences and this year presented a paper on the 2002 Act; this was the largest attendance yet, with in excess of 300 delegates, presumably suggesting an increasing awareness in the sector for information on the impending legislative changes to management practices.
The Good Practice Guide, being produced in conjunction with the National Housing Federation and the Housing Corporation, is aimed at the public sector manager, although the CIH has accepted the case for a generic guide of value to all leasehold managers. LEASE will input to the drafts prior to intended publication later in 2003.
8.6 CML (Council of Mortgage Lenders). As the co-ordinating body and voice of property lending, the CML has a vital role in input to leasehold legislation. LEASE spoke at a seminar for lending managers arranged by the Council and will continue to work with them in the implementation of the new legislation, especially the particular lending implications of commonhold.
8.7 IHOS (Independent Housing Ombudsman Service). LEASE welcomes the appointment of Dr Micheal Biles as the new Housing Ombudsman and looks forward to continuation of discussions on the development of a dispute resolution machinery for commonhold.
8.8 NCTI (National Community Titles Institute). The institute is a similar organisation to ARMA, representing managers and others operating in the strata-title industry in Australia. LEASE has spoken at the NCTI's first two annual conferences and had received a huge amount of practical help and advice in the legislative application and the management of community-title property. This has been of immeasurable assistance in preparation for commonhold.
We maintain contact with a number of solicitor and strata manager members of the NCTI and met with a representative group who visited the UK in October to attend the ARMA Conference.
We were able to arrange a reception for them at the House of Lords, hosted by our Chairman and kindly sponsored by Dorrington Investments, at which our visitors were able to meet the Minister responsible for the introduction of commonhold, Baroness Scotland.
8.9 RPTS (Residential Property Tribunal Service). The service, through the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal, will have widened jurisdiction under the 2002 Act, and, inevitably, a much greater workload. LEASE acknowledges the substantial improvement in throughput of cases achieved by the LVTs in the past year, although has concerns as to the potential effect of the increase in demand arising from the new jurisdictions, particularly determinations arising from the right to manage.
In the revision of our advice note Application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal, we have agreed that LEASE will no longer produce the application forms which will be supplied and distributed by the RPTS.
8.10 SHOW (Shoreditch New Deal Trust). The Trust provides an umbrella structure for the major residential and commercial renovation of the Shoreditch area, working with the local authority. There are a substantial number of Council leaseholders included within the project area and the Trust is keen to provide a source of impartial advice to them. LEASE addressed an initial public meeting and has agreed in principle to a series of further smaller meetings with the leaseholders.
It is useful that all of the leaseholders' addresses are within walking distance of the LEASE office and therefore fully accessible to us.
9. Looking to the future
9.1 LEASE is entirely funded by grant from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and the National Assembly for Wales, and we are grateful for the generous allocation we receive. However, we share with our funders a concern at our total dependence upon the public purse and agree that we should investigate other possible areas of income generation.
We already generate some very limited income from training provision to local authorities and housing associations but this is not significant.
9.2 One of the objectives of the MORI survey was to establish whether our clients would be prepared to pay for the service, and how much. The results suggest a general willingness to pay, but not at a sufficient level to fund the service. This was not unwelcome news - LEASE was originally established as a source of free advice and we are very reluctant to move from this principle.
It is clear that there are other areas to be considered to bring in some funding without the need to charge clients. One is profits from professional conferences, and in furtherance of this LEASE held its first conference, on the 2002 Act, in May 2003. This may serve as a model for further events.
There may also be potential in provision, on a commercial bases, of some form of alternative dispute resolution such as mediation. This will be further researched and proposals developed for the future.
9.3 Not withstanding proposals for part-funding, we were grateful to receive the Minister's approval of funded status for LEASE for a further three-year term, 2003-6, and a generous increase in allocation for 2003-4, allowing the recruitment of an additional adviser.
It is reassuring, at this time of great changes to leasehold law, that the Government continues to recognise the value of our service.
9.4 All LEASE activities are dependent upon the continued funding of the service.

An excellent all Bluegrass gospel album by Reid and his current band which includes his wife Christy (bass and vocals), Trevor Watson (banjo) and Shannon Slaughter (guitar). Reid offers his mandolin work as well as providing most of the vocal leads. Ron Stewart adds some fine fiddle touches on a few cuts. The material—mostly new to the Bluegrass field—is fresh and there is a nice balance of slow and up-tempo arrangements. The CD includes two nicely done a cappella songs: LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL, and IT'S HARD TO STUMBLE. SWEET BYE & BYE, JOHN IN THE JORDAN, MAMA, etc.

Posts Tagged 'Cape Town Lounge and Wine Bar'
Wine Safari
Adjacent to Jiko sits a place of exploration, the Cape Town Lounge and Wine Bar. Warm and intimate, this small lounge celebrates the exceptional collection of South African wines that Jiko is famous for.
It's a wonderful place to begin a tour of South Africa before continuing on to a memorable meal at Jiko. Request to see the dinner menu, decide on an appetizer, then get some advice about pairings for it. Guests may choose to order the wine in the Cape Town Lounge and bring it with them into the restaurant to enjoy with that first course, or have their appetizer in the Lounge before going into dinner.
The savory aromas from Jiko may prove too much for the patrons who had only planned to stop for a drink. Diners will be invited to move to an available table in the restaurant, but if it's busy, food can be ordered from the menu for service in the Lounge.
For those choosing to eat in the Lounge, we recommend ordering appetizers only. The wonderful food at Jiko deserves attention. While the full menu is available at the bar, the stools there are second only to those in the main restaurant in the race for most uncomfortable, so last-minute diners should consider patience, or a reservation on another night!

Arsenal star tries to explain shock Blackburn defeat
08:20 18 February 2013
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere put his side's 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Blackburn down to bad luck but admitted it was a crushing blow to exit the competition.
The Gunners had the majority of possession at the Emirates but failed to convert the chances that came their way in a lethargic performance against Championship opposition.
Colin Kazim-Richards struck the winning goal after 72 minutes, sending Arsenal out of the FA Cup at the hands of a lower league club for the first time in Arsene Wenger's reign.
The Champions League now represents Arsenal's only hope of ending their eight-year trophy drought this season but they face the daunting task of getting past Bayern Munich in the last 16.
"It's obviously disappointing to go out of the FA Cup," said Wilshere.
"We know what this trophy means in England and we wanted to go all the way.
"We created a lot of chances we're just disappointed we couldn't put it in the net. "They probably created one chance and they got a lucky goal but that's the FA Cup.
"Giantkillings going on all the time in this cup and it happened today."
Last February Arsenal thumped Blackburn 7-1 in the Premier League, but although they came up badly short this time around, Wilshere insisted they had the chances to rack up a similar scoreline.
"With the chances we had it could have been seven or even more. It's one of those days, we hit the bar they blocked one on the line.
"You have to give them some credit they defended well and they hit us on the counter and it killed us that goal.
"We had a few chances after that but after we were 1-0 down they sat in there and made it difficult for us."

Local Girl Scouts held a banquet at the Eleanor W. Lewis Service Center to honor two young women who were presented with the Gold Award, Sunday.
Gold status is the highest honor you can achieve in the Girl Scouting program.
To achieve this status, a Girl Scout must be in high school, and must organize and complete a large service project within the community.
The winners, Genevieve Smith and Callie Mills, both got involved with the scouts at a young age.
The girls put in hard work into their service projects around Bay County and were excited to finally be able to accept their awards.
Multiple young women also received silver awards, which is a similar honor for a younger age group.

So if I'm using branches that are remote (tracked) branches, and I want to get the lastest, I'm still unclear if I should be doing
git pull or
git rebase. I thought I had read that doing
git rebase when working on a branch with other users, it can screw them up when they pull or rebase. Is that true? Should we all be using
git pull?
So if I'm using branches that are remote (tracked) branches, and I want to get the lastest, I'm still unclear if I should be doing
Git pull is a combination of 2 commands
git rebase is only a rough equivalent to git merge. It doesn't fetch anything remotely. In fact it doesn't do a proper merge either, it replays the commits of the branch you're standing on after the new commits from a second branch.
Its purpose is mainly to let you have a cleaner history. It doesn't take many merges by many people before the past history in gitk gets terribly spaghetti-like.
The best graphical explanation can be seen in the first 2 graphics here. But let me explain here with an example.
I have 2 branches: master and mybranch. When standing on mybranch I can run
and I'll get anything new in master inserted before my most recent commits in mybranch. This is perfect, because if I now merge or rebase the stuff from mybranch in master, my new commits are added linearly right after the most recent commits.
The problem you refer to happens if I rebase in the "wrong" direction. If I just got the most recent master (with new changes) and from master I rebase like this (before syncing my branch):
Now what I just did is that I inserted my new changes somewhere in master's past. The main line of commits has changed. And due to the way git works with commit ids, all the commits (from master) that were just replayed over my new changes have new ids.
Well, it's a bit hard to explain just in words... Hope this makes a bit of sense :-)
Anyway, my own workflow is this:
One last word. I strongly recommend using rebase when the differences are trivial (e.g. people working on different files or at least different lines). It has the gotcha I tried to explain just up there, but it makes for a much cleaner history.
As soon as there may be significant conflicts (e.g. a coworker has renamed something in a bunch of files), I strongly recommend merge. In this case, you'll be asked to resolve the conflict and then commit the resolution. On the plus side, a merge is much easier to resolve when there are conflicts. The down side is that your history may become hard to follow if a lot of people do merges all the time :-)
Good luck!
This article on packaging software with git is a very worthwhile read. It's more about managing software distributions but it's quite technical and talks about how branches can be used/managed/shared. They talk about when to rebase and when to pull and what the various consequences of each are.
In short, they both have their place but you need to really grok the difference.
Like most other things in git, there is a lot of overlapping functionality to accommodate different styles of working.
Check out the excellent Gitcasts on Branching and merging as well as rebasing.
If you want to pull source without affecting remote branches and without any changes in your local copy, it's best to use git pull.
I believe if you have a working branch that you have made changes to, use git rebase to change the base of that branch to be latest remote master, you will keep all of your branch changes, however the branch will now be branching from the master location, rather than where it was previously branched from.

The city received several top quality proposals to redevelop the obsolete Water Street Parking Deck, which is a key riverfront property in the heart of downtown. Once underway, this project will result in a public/private revitalization partnership that will:
At their meeting on Feb. 17, the Wilmington City Council selected East West Partners to begin negotiations on a multi-use development at the site of the Water Street parking deck.
During their May 19, 2015, City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding, which is the first step in the development. It is generally a non-binding agreement, but lays out the path toward a binding purchase and development agreement. Highlights include:

How can you compare that to modern boxing, would Willard have beaten Johnson over 12 or 15 rounds? Regardless, I think it's safe to say Wladimir is greater than Jess Willard. Wladimir is widely considered one of the top 10 or 15 greatest Heavyweights of all time, Jess Willard is a long way off that
David Haye,Come on how am I suppose to take you serious when you mention him. He ran like a kid running from the school bully and then he blames his little pinky toe and presents no proof that it was broken. Should have been a comedian.
Toe jokes, how original. Regardless, outside of the brothers, Haye is the best HW of this era (yes I know it's a terrible era). Haye is a counter puncher who fights off the backfoot, that's his style. Did you expect him to go out guns blazing like a prime Mike Tyson or Joe Frazier? Wlad turned in a very impressive performance and probably won 10 rounds of the 12, he boxed to an excellent gameplan, and proved very hard to hit himself as Haye hardly landed his right hand.
Haye would be a solid contender in any era
Byrd is nothing special,He got his ass whooped by the only good fighter he fought in his prime,Ibeabuchi.
Prime Chris Byrd is a solid win for any HW

His talent is unquestionable, and he turns up to every fight in fantastic condition. Furthermore, what HW in history could nail Haye with 4 and 5 consecutive clean punches to the head? Haye's not Ali, but he's elusive and very hard to hit
dyna is spot on by the way

In the system I work on there is some legacy code that I would love to change, but can't. This code is storing values in a map which looks like the following string:
userId: "929290"; name: "Donnie Darko"; obj : {field1: "field"; field2: "field2"} phone: "666-6666";
Notice that the object map isn't followed by a semicolon, but every other key/value pair is. Is there a way to use Regex in Java and get the first level of this map, so that I could have:
userId: "929290"
obj : {field1: "field"; field2: "field2"}
I only want the first level, I'm not looking to parse out field1 and field2 individually.
