Selling a house FHA, electrical question.
So, I finally have a buyer lined up for my old house and while I knew I would have to do some items, like a new electrical panel (mine was a Federal Pacific which they frown upon), I was surprised by what the FHA appraiser wants done.
For starters, I should mention that the buyer had a home inspection done and the electrical items the guy pointed out were the box and that a couple of GFI outlets needed to be added, otherwise all good. So, the FHA appraiser comes in and he says that all wiring in the basement must be run thru the floor joists or in conduit and it can not be stapled to the sill plate or the side of any floor joist. Now, I understand not having a wire tacked to the underside of a joist, but to run alongside a joist and tacked up 5 inches or so from the bottom, I thought that was fine. So, I had 2 different licensed electricians come thru and they took a look at my wiring and said it was code however the FHA appraiser informs me that while it may be fine for conventional it is not OK for FHA. So, everything is going into conduit but I wanted to see if any of you guys have ever run into this or if this appraiser has some bad info.
Thanks in advance.
I would throw the BS flag. I was in electrical contracting for 7.5 years. I think the NEC (National Electric Code) can be pretty stringent on things, so I don't know how an appraiser could dictate more stringent rules. I would challenge him to show you wording in the FHA Law where that is necessary or get his supervisor involved.
Sounds like someone needs an ego stroked. Or if he is that insistent, I would put it on the buyers to square up those costs.
Maybe you can post your question here:

Wires stapled along the sill plate and along the side of the joist are completely legal and in compliance with National Electrical Code (NEC). I do know that FHA loans are subject to their own independent standards, but I have to believe that this FHA inspector is off base. Otherwise every house in my town would fail. I've never seen a house that didn't have romex stapled to the side of a joist. And I know of a lot of houses that sold recently with FHA loans. FWIW I am a Master Electrician, certified IAEI Electrical Inspector and Plan Reviewer. You or your buyer needs to speak to the inspector again and somehow ask him if there is any chance he misread or misapplied the regulation. And ask to see it.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually spoke with this appraiser and had my electrician there as well and even though we pointed out in the code where I was legal, he would not back down. When I asked to see it in writing and why FHA code would supercede that of national codes, he simply went on to spout some BS about how a kid could be playing around in a basement and spear a knife thru the wire if it is not in conduit, to which I replied, well, if it is run thru the joists, can't he do the same and doesn't it make it easier for him to jump up and grab it!
In the end, it boils down to this guy needing to make a statement and if I push too far on this he will just ding me on some other BS item that will likely cost me twice as much. Just wanted to make sure that I was not off base though in my thinking and to see what others had experienced. Funny, he never said a word about the electric box itself, but the home inspector did.
Have to pick and choose your battles as it does me no good to win the battle but lose the war.
Funny how almost anything having to do with the Federal goverment is just FUBAR!
A kid playing with a knife isn't the best example either. FHA loans stink from a sellers point of view based on your example and my brother had issues too, but his was on comparables and the appraised value of his house.
If its not a competition ski boat, its always second best.

"In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress." - John Adams
I understand the point of having FHA guidelines. Some requirements that they enforce are unenforceable any other way. Such as having open stairs leading to a basement with no ballusters or handrails. A case like that may precede building codes (State building code here in MA was non existent until 1973. And there is no mechanism to require it be brought up to code. So FHA requires it.
But I have to believe that the FHA inspector is way off base. Is there a way to ask to speak to his supervisor? I believe he is confusing wires stapled under the joist run perpendicular scenario with your scenario.
Prior boats - (3) X14's, (3) Prostars, and a Tristar.
Still sounds like you are getting the sharp end of the stick if there is no appeal available. Absolute power is a very dangerous thing. Could you not ask for another opinion from another inspector? I just don't like being pushed around by that kind of people, almost without regard to how much it costs. Those who stand up for their rights are now the exception.

StemCells Inc. has a history not much different from those of dozens, even hundreds, of biotech companies all around California.
Co-founded by an eminent Stanford research scientist, the Newark, Calif., firm has struggled financially while trying to push its stem cell products through the research-and-development pipeline. It collects about $1 million a year from licensing patents and selling cell cultures but spends well more than $20 million annually on R&D, so it runs deeply in the red.
On the plus side, StemCells Inc. has had rather a charmed relationship with the California stem cell program, that $3-billion taxpayer-backed research fund known formally as the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
The firm ranks first among all corporate recipients of approved funding from CIRM, with some $40 million in awards approved this year. That's more than has gone to such established California nonprofit research centers as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute.

There are times when, as a Linux user who does not have a Windows-based operating system installed, you would like to play your favorite Windows game in a Linux environment using Wine. Sadly, in most cases, the game will run under less optimal/desirable conditions than when it is executed under Windows environment.
This means that the games will be plague with a lot of technical issues. These can include:
- Uncontrollable/undesirable game lag
- Inappropriate game colors
- Bad sound or no sound at all
- A very slow game overall; not just lag, but a slowdown that affects the frames, mouse speed, and more.
This tutorial will be aimed at beginners or intermediate users of a Linux Ubuntu Wine installation. The goal is to help them achieve the best gaming experience of running Windows games in Linux without having to deal with terminal commands.
Not all games are guaranteed to work with this tutorial, but what is presented here are useful technical troubleshooting processes that the user should go through to optimize gaming conditions in Linux Wine.
If you are not familiar with Wine, you can find it at the link. You can also find installation procedures here if you are using Ubuntu.
{mospagebreak title=Does Wine Support the Game?}
Before you dive into the details of improving your gaming experience in Wine, it is important to find out if the game is supported in Linux Wine.
Not all Windows games will run perfectly in Wine. It is important to know that Windows games in Wine are classified into four categories:
- Platinum rating – This type of Windows game, when installed correctly in Wine, will run perfectly without additional settings required.
- Gold rating — This type of game installs and runs perfectly in Wine, but it needs some tweaking and configuration. Once fixed, it will run perfectly, just as it should run in Windows.
- Bronze rating – This type of game will work (install and run), but it will not run optimally, as it would run in Windows. This rating also means that the tweak to the game has not yet been discovered. If the tweak for the game has been found and it sorts out the game's problem (e.g intense lag), it will be elevated to the gold rating status.
- Garbage rating – These games will never run in Wine. If by chance it does run, it will require an incredible number of steps to correct lots of errors appearing during the game session.
Now, as a Wine user, how can you find out whether or not your Windows game is fully supported to run in a Linux environment?
The following are the steps to ensure that your game is fully supported to run in Wine. Your aim should be at least a Gold or Platinum rating for your game, so that there will only be minimal Wine configuration settings needed, which will be discussed later in this tutorial.
Step 1. Go to this website: http://appdb.winehq.org/ This is the Wine application database.
Step 2. Under AppDB sidebar navigation, click "Browse Apps."
Step 3. Under "Add new filter," enter the official name of the game in the "Name" field only. Enter only the broad name, not the specific name, so that you can see more complete results. Leave the other options at their default settings.
For example, suppose I would like to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in Linux Wine. I will only enter "Grand Theft Auto" in the name below:
Step 4. Click "Update Filter."
Step 5. In the results, scroll down until you see the exact game name and click the link for that game name.
Step 6. Click the game version you are using under the "Version" column.
Step 7. You will now know the game rating. For example, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is rated gold. What is also important are the "test results" of the game under the Linux Ubuntu version and Wine version you are using. See example:
Based on the result in the screen shot above, if I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and playing 1.1.36, the rating is Gold. But for other versions, it went from Bronze to Garbage. This is how important it is to meet the software requirements if you want to play your game.
{mospagebreak title=Optimizing a Windows Game in Wine}
To illustrate the rest of the configuration process, let's use an actual example. Suppose I want to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in Wine. The following are the things that I've already done (before game optimization).
Step 1. I copied the game folder to C:Program Files in the Wine Linux Ubuntu directory. (see screen shot below):
You can locate the C:Programs Files in Applications => Wine => Browse C: Drive => then double click Program Files.
Step 2. The game was then executed by double clicking the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas folder, right clicking on gta_sa.exe , and then clicking "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader."
Step 3. I tested the game, and it was not in the optimal mode. Two problems were found. First, the game was a bit more laggy overall than it played in Windows. Second, the frame movements or frame rate was a bit slow.
Step 4. According to the Wine database, the game is fully supported, and it is rated as "Gold" with the following technical requirements (for version 1.0):
- Wine version 1.2
- Setting Vertex Shader Support to None (procedure to be discussed in the next section)
- Allow Pixel Shader (details in the next section)
{mospagebreak title=Implementing the Wine Recommendations for the Game}
Let's implement the Wine recommendations for the game step by step:
Upgrading Wine Version to 1.2
Currently I am using Ubuntu 9.10, and the Wine version installed is 1.0.1. If you do not know your Wine version, you need to go to Applications => Wine => Configure Wine => click "About" tab.
The wine version needs to be upgraded to 1.2. The procedure is explained below.
Step 1. Go to System => Administration => Synaptic Manager. Under Quick search, type wine. You will then see different wine versions in the repository. Click the version to which you would like to upgrade and hit "Apply."
Warning: Upgrading Wine is not recommended if you have a lot of working programs (applications and games) using the old Wine version. They might not work with the new version.
Step 2. You will know that your version of Wine has been successfully upgraded if you see the recent version with a light green square next to it in the Synaptic manager. See the screen shot below:
Step 3. It is a good idea to restart your Linux computer to refresh it from the changes.
Changing the Graphics Settings as Suggested in the Wine Application Database
To change the graphics settings, you will need to go to Applications => Wine => Configure Wine => Click "Graphics" Tab.
Make the following changes:
Step 1. Set Vertex Shader support to "None."
Step 2. Check "Allow Pixel Shader."
Step 3. Click OK.
Re-testing the game for improvements
The game works excellently under the above settings. The lag was drastically reduced, and the frame rate improved.
{mospagebreak title=Configuring Wine for Gaming: Important Note}
You should note the important information below pertaining to configuring wine for the best gaming experience.
First, your wine registry is only one area (similar to Windows). So your optimal Direct 3D settings, as suggested by the Wine application database, or any related registry tweaks, might only work for a single game — but drastically affect the performance of your other games. In this case, make sure you note the settings so that you can revert to them any time you need to play another game in the future.
Second, as I noted before, upgrading your version of Wine is only recommended if you are sure the upgrade will not affect previously working applications and games. In this tutorial, the Wine version has been upgraded to conform to what was suggested in the Wine application database. But note that this will have drastic consequences when you have several programs installed.
If upgrading happens to break several of your applications that previously worked perfectly, you can revert to the old version of Wine by simply reversing the process (checking the old version in the Synaptic manager and then applying changes).
The synaptic manager will remove the new version and replace it with the old version. Do not forget your old graphics settings in the wine configuration menu so that you can re-adjust them when needed.
The good thing is that your registry will not be altered during the upgrading and downgrading of Wine versions.

communication disorders
The ability to communicate is one of the most important gifts bestowed upon humanity. Any impairment in this ability, described as a communication disorder, can have far-reaching consequences, affecting every aspect of a person's life, from learning, to work, to interactions with family, friends, and community. The primary career paths in communication disorders are speech-language pathology, audiology and communication science. Speech-language pathologists and audiologists provide services to prevent, diagnose, evaluate, and treat communication disorders. Communication scientists provide the research on which clinicians base their methodology.
Professionals in this field work in settings such as hospitals, clinics, schools, nonprofit agencies, colleges and universities, and private practice. Speech-language pathologists and audiologists work with individuals of all ages. Some examples of job responsibilities may include treating an infant who is unable to swallow, diagnosing a child with a hearing loss, treating a child with autism, working with an adult who has had a stroke or working with an elderly client who needs a hearing aid. An example of the work that might be done by a communication scientist includes working in a laboratory to develop evidence-based methods for diagnosing and treating individuals with speech, language, and hearing problems.
The field has taken on many new dimensions in recent years, combining technical and scientific expertise with the rewarding work of human service. Students learn basic sciences like anatomy, physiology, and acoustics, and also may participate in service projects and observations at clinics like Southern's Center for Communication Disorders, where graduate students receive some of their professional training.
The minimum entry level degree for speech-language pathology is a masters degree. Audiologists are required to have a doctoral degree and most communication scientists will earn a doctoral-level degree. Southern offers a masters degree which prepares students for careers as speech-language pathologists. Upon completion of the program, students will be eligible to apply for state and national licensure and certification. Undergraduate students complete a pre-professional program that prepares them for entry into a masters or doctoral program.

The Association of Scottish Motoring Writers has presented Doctor John Harrington with this year's Ford-supported Jim Clark Memorial Award
Dr Harrington receives the award in recognition of his work raising medical standards and improving safety at rallies for almost 30 years.
Chief medical officer of the Highland Snowman Rally in Inverness since 1987, Dr Harrington started volunteering at a time when a doctor was required simply to be within a reasonable distance of rally stages.
Within a few years the Keith-based GP was applying his medical expertise and his keen interest in the sport to the safety planning of rallies. In particular, ensuring both medical and recovery teams worked closer preparing for rallies, handling incidents, holding joint debriefs and making recommendations back to the Motor Sports Association (MSA).
Dr Harrington today recruits new doctors and paramedics to the Scottish Motorsport Marshals Club, runs medically-related training for marshals and is a MSA international training instructor.
"New medics benefit from our excellent emergency medicine courses on advanced life support, for example, which most would have to do for their careers anyway, and this helps them gain confidence outside of the hospital environment," said Dr Harrington.
"For me, this kind of contribution and improving links between motorsport and the local emergency services has become a hobby and an extra-curricular interest.
"For it to be publicly recognised with the Association's Jim Clark Award is both a personal honour and a tribute to the skilled safety and rescue teams we have on Scottish rallies."
Alisdair Suttie, Association of Scottish Motor Writers President, said: "At a time when rally safety is in the spotlight, we were especially pleased to present this year's Jim Clark Memorial Award to a medically qualified winner.
"Dr Harrington demonstrates the planning and preparation that goes into motorsport events, the high levels of expertise available to competitors and the professionalism which swings into action when required."
This was Dr Harrington's second award linked with Jim Clark – last year he received the Scottish Motorsport Marshals Club's trophy that is presented in honour of the Scottish Formula 1 champion killed at Hockenheim in 1968.
Previous recipients of the joint Ford and Scottish Motoring Writers' Jim Clark Award for their contribution to transport and motorsport include Sir Jackie Stewart, David Coulthard, former Duns rally driver Louise Aitken-Walker, and Andrew Fraser – the Scottish Ford engineer who led the 680-strong team that designed and developed Ford's award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine.
Dr Harrington is the first medical doctor to have received this award.

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues. There are many types of anemia.
Pernicious anemia is a decrease in red blood cells that occurs when the intestines cannot properly absorb vitamin B12.
Alternative Names
Macrocytic achylic anemia; Congenital pernicious anemia; Juvenile pernicious anemia; Vitamin B12 deficiency (malabsorption)
Pernicious anemia is a type of vitamin B12 anemia. The body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells. You get this vitamin from eating foods such as meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs, and dairy products.
A special protein, called intrinsic factor (IF), helps your intestines absorb vitamin B12. This protein is released by cells in the stomach. When the stomach does not make enough intrinsic factor, the intestine cannot properly absorb vitamin B12.
Common causes of pernicious anemia include:
- Weakened stomach lining (atrophic gastritis)
- An autoimmune condition in which the bodys immune system attacks the actual intrinsic factor protein or the cells in the lining of your stomach that make it.
Very rarely, pernicious anemia is passed down through families. This is called congenital pernicious anemia. Babies with this type of anemia do not make enough intrinsic factor. Or they cannot properly absorb vitamin B12 in the small intestine.
In adults, symptoms of pernicious anemia are usually not seen until after age 30. The average age of diagnosis is age 60.
You are more likely to get this disease if you:
- Are Scandinavian or Northern European
- Have a family history of the condition
Certain diseases can also raise your risk. They include:
Addison disease Chronic thyroiditis Graves disease Hypoparathyroidism Hypopituitarism Myasthenia gravis Secondary amenorrhea Type 1 diabetes
- Testicular dysfunction
Some people do not have symptoms. Symptoms may be mild.
They can include:
- Desire to eat ice or other non-food things (
pica) Diarrheaor constipation Fatigue, lack of energy, or light-headedness when standing up or with exertion Loss of appetite
- Pale skin
- Problems concentrating
Shortness of breath, mostly during exercise
- Swollen, red tongue or bleeding gums
If you have a low vitamin B12 level for a long time, you can have nervous system damage. Symptoms can include:
- Confusion
- Depression
- Loss of balance
- Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet
Exams and Tests
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. Tests that may be done include:
Bone marrow examination(only needed if diagnosis is unclear) Complete blood count(CBC) Reticulocyte count Schilling test LDHlevel
- Methylmalonic acid (MMA) level
Vitamin B12 level
- Levels of antibodies against IF or the cells which make IF
Pernicious anemia may also affect the results of the following tests:
- Cholesterol test
- Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase
- Peripheral smear
The goal of treatment is to increase your vitamin B12 levels:
- Treatment involves a shot of vitamin B12 once a month. Persons with severely low levels of B12 may need more shots in the beginning.
- Some patients may also need to take vitamin B12 supplements by mouth. For some people, high-dose vitamin B12 tablets taken by mouth work well, and shots are not needed.
- A certain type of vitamin B12 may be given through the nose.
Your doctor or nurse will also recommend eating a well-balanced diet.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Patients usually do well with treatment.
It is important to start treatment early. Nerve damage can be permanent if treatment does not start within 6 months of symptoms.
Possible Complications
People with pernicious anemia may have gastric polyps. They are also more likely to develop
Brain and nervous system problems may continue or be permanent if treatment is delayed.
A woman with low B12 levels may have a false positive Pap smear. This is because vitamin B12 deficiency affects the way certain cells (epithelial cells) in the cervix look.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency.
There is no known way to prevent this type of vitamin B12 anemia. However, early detection and treatment can help reduce complications.

Genomic constitution
All taxa contain the E genome, with or without additional genomes. Additional genomes known to be in some of its species are the St genome of Pseudoroegneria, the P genome of Agropyron, and possibly the L genome of Festucopsis. The use of E, rather than J, for the genome present in all members of the genus follows the recommendations of Wang et al. (1996) and maintains consistency with earlier usage by wheat breeders. These authors used the same symbol for the genome present in Lophopyrum, regarding the similarity between the two sufficient to use a single symbol, although the variant involved can be indicated by a superscript.
Distinguishing features
Perennnial plants with solitary spikelets. Glumes and lemmas coriaceous, usually glabrous, and with truncate to acute tips. Pedicels absent.
Plants perennial, sometimes rhizomatous, not stoloniferous. Culms 70-225 cm tall, lowest internode 1.3-3.5 mm thick.
Leaves 1-8 mm wide, flat or convolute, sometimes only the margins convolute, upper surface usually with prominent ribs.
Inflorescence spikelike, stiff; rachis usually tough, disarticulating in T. junceum, terminating in a spikelet, cross section trapezoidal, lowest internode longer than the middle internodes; middle internodes 8-22 mm long; initial disarticulation usually below the glumes, sometimes in the rachis, sometimes below the florets.
Spikelets solitary, tangential to the rachis, usually glabrous, not pedicellate, lowest spikelet shorter to subequal to the adjacent internode, sometimes much shorter, middle spikelets longer than the adjacent internode, usually less than twice as long.
Glumes 5.5-17 mm long, 0.9-2.3 mm wide, coriaceous, from half the length of the adjacent lemmas to almost as long as them, usually glabrous, midvein sometimes with a few, squat teeth on the distal portion, almost flat over the midvein or strongly keeled distally, margins scarious, particularly distally, tip truncate, obtuse, or acute, usually muticous, sometimes mucronate, occasionally shortly awned.
Lemmas usually glabrous and smooth, occasionally both the glumes and the lemmas evenly hairy all over the surface. lemmas usually rounded over the midvein except keeled distally, tips truncate to acute, occasionally awned, awn to 3 mm. Paleas not winged, tapering in the distal quarter. Lodicules fimbriate. Anthers 4-11 mm long.
Thinopyrum includes 15-25 taxa, but not all the taxa have valid combinations in the genus. For a listing go to http://herbarium.usu.edu/triticeae/thinopyrum.htm
Native to Europe, western Asia, and southern Africa; a few species have become established in other parts of the world.
Alternative interpretations
Thinopyrum is sometimes interpreted more narrowly than here. For instance, Ellesnog-Staam et al. (2001) include some of its species in Psammopyrum. In addition, some taxonomists also recognize Lophopyrum and Trichopyrum as distinct genera. If recognized, Trichophyrum includes only T. intermedium which differs from other species of Thinopyrum in combining the E and St genomes.
Type species
Thinopyrum junceum L.
Known problems
There has been no taxonomic treatment of the group as a whole in which the type species were reviewed, nor one in which the author accepted the genus. Not surprisingly, there are some nomenclatural questions that can only be resolved by consulting potential and known type specimens. In addition, several new combinations are needed if the genus is to be circumscribed as here. A highly desirable development would be formal, illustrated taxonomic treatment with parallel descriptions and both dichotomous and polychotomous keys that reflect the treatment.

Several times the question has surfaced: Are the unbeaten 2012 All Blacks the best in recent history?
The first World Cup in 1987 is a good starting point because that side took out the inaugural global title as part of a sequence when they went a record 50 games without defeat including 23 tests.
They went three-and-a-half years without losing a test before eventually falling to Australia 21- 9 in Wellington in 1990, a sequence which included a 19-19 deadlock at Ballymore in 1988.
That group of All Blacks was an immense collection of talent, even though our minds get a little glossy with nostalgia and we forget how the game has moved on for the better.
John Gallagher, John Kirwan, Joe Stanley, Grant Fox, Wayne Shelford, Michael Jones, the Whettons, Richard Loe, Sean Fitzpatrick, Steve McDowell and eventually Zinzan Brooke, Graeme Bachop, Ian Jones and Walter Little would be tabled as candidates in the greatest team of the last 25 years.
The 1995-97 version was a team which rose from uncertainty and, through many of the ideas chosen and implemented by Laurie Mains which are an outline of what we are seeing today, ran opposing teams ragged with their skills and fitness.
They made their mark at the 1995 World Cup and are players worthy of nominations for places in the best team of the last quarter of a century. Jeff Wilson, Jonah Lomu, Frank Bunce, Andrew Mehrtens, Josh Kronfeld, Robin Brooke, Olo Brown and Craig Dowd.
In the following two seasons, Christian Cullen, Justin Marshall and Tana Umaga added their qualities as the side roamed the world winning an absolute humdinger of a series in South Africa in '96 as the first New Zealand side to achieve that Holy Grail.
They lost one test to the Springboks at Ellis Park and drew another in two seasons of glittering rugby.
The 2005 side would get a vote, too. They smeared the British and Irish Lions and had a solitary loss to the Boks at Newlands in a season of glowing rugby.
Newer faces like Mils Muliaina, Aaron Mauger, Joe Rokocoko, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Daniel Carter, Byron Kelleher, Richie McCaw, Jerry Collins, Ali Williams, Tony Woodcock, Carl Hayman and Keven Mealamu were scratching their names on the hall of fame plaques.
They were at or near their prime and, extraordinarily, some still continue today.
They were part of last year's World Cup winning squad, a group who claimed the Webb Ellis Cup for the second time last year.
Champions have emerged in that group. Take fullback Israel Dagg, who is chasing Gallagher, Cullen and Muliaina's reputation as the premier fullback in the last 25 seasons.
Add in Cory Jane, the developed Conrad Smith and Ma'a Nonu, Kieran Read, Jerome Kaino, Brad Thorn, Owen Franks and Andrew Hore for the ballot.
It doesn't stop there. There's a sense of Graeme Bachop about Aaron Smith this year and Sam Whitelock has developed into a topline athlete.
Start the voting now. Polls close after the England test on Sunday.

Description: Mastersmith David Anders created this exceptional firm fillet knife. It will make preparing fish easy, with a long, slender blade to get around bones. The 7 1/4" blade allows for preparing small to medium sized fish.
The blade, bolster, and tang are all forged from a single piece of 5160 carbon steel round bar. Creating integral knives is particularly hard and shows a tremendous amount of skill. The blade was forged to shape and distal tapered for optimal balance. A differentially heat treatment results in a softer, supportive spine, with a super-hard, long lasting, razor sharp edge. The blade was meticulously hand satin finished for an elegant heirloom appearance. The African blackwood handle swells gently into the palm for a sure grip that continues to feel comfortable after hours of work. Excellent fit and finish throughout.

IEC approves WirelessHART as first international wireless standard for process automation
|P+F introduced these WirelessHART components in September 2009. See other WirelessHART products and news .
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) approved the WirelessHART specification as a full international standard (IEC 62591Ed. 1.0), according to the HART Communication Foundation on April 6. The unanimous vote on 26 March 2010 by the IEC National Committees of 28 countries confirms the broad global support for WirelessHART technology as the international standard for wireless communication in process automation, the HART organization said.
"The overwhelming approval by IEC fulfills the request of users for a single international wireless communication standard that is supported by major automation suppliers," says HART Communication Foundation executive director, Ron Helson. "WirelessHART technology has been confirmed by both users and suppliers to be a technically sound, reliable and secure solution for wireless communication in process automation."
Suppliers of WirelessHART compatible products include ABB, Emerson, Endress+Hauser, Pepperl+Fuchs, Siemens and others
Released in September 2007, WirelessHART is an open and interoperable wireless communication standard designed to address the critical needs of industry for reliable, robust and secure wireless communication in real-time industrial process measurement and control applications, HART Communication Foundation says. WirelessHART is a backward compatible, evolutionary enhancement to the HART Communication Protocol, the leading communication technology for intelligent process measurement and control field devices and systems with more than 30 million devices installed and operating in process plant applications around the globe, the organization explains. www.hartcomm.org

Substitute Erik Lamela broke down the right-hand side in the 93rd minute and played a low cross into the Brazil international, who impudently flicked the ball into the net.
The win was a just reward for the visitors after they dominated large parts of the game, but Paulinho's strike was harsh on Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall.
|By Alex Hess
Tottenham will fee fortunate to come away from the Cardiff City Stadium with three points having struggled to find a way past an impressive David Marshall.
Up the other end, Hugo Lloris was lucky to stay on the field after appearing to handle outside the penalty area for the second week running.
However, Paulinho's late strike sees Spurs keep up pace with their rivals, Arsenal, and hands yet another clean sheet to the France No.1.
Hugo Lloris was rarely tested at the other end as the hosts concentrated on preserving a point, although substitute Peter Odemwingie did come close to a debut goal.
Malky Mackay made two changes to his Cardiff side, with experienced pair Craig Bellamy and Marshall both returning to the starting line-up. Bellamy took the captain's armband as he replaced Don Cowie, while Marshall came in for Joe Lewis in goal.
There was just the one change for the visitors from their win over Norwich, meanwhile, as Andre Villas-Boas brought in Kyle Naughton for the injured Danny Rose at left-back.
Cardiff started at a ferocious pace and felt their opponents should have been reduced to 10 men in the opening five minutes after Lloris challenged Fraizer Campbell on the edge of the area.
Lloris came sliding out towards the perimeter of his penalty box and cleared the ball with his hand, with the home side insistent the France international had done so outside the area. However, referee Mark Clattenburg waved play on.
When Tottenham did get their attacking game going, they found Marshall in fine form, the 28-year-old making good saves to deny Soldado and Eriksen.
The first came as the former Valencia striker met a low Kyle Walker cross only for the keeper to get down well to deny him, while the second saw Marshall react superbly after Eriksen latched onto the loose ball after another Soldado effort had been blocked.
Marshall maintained his performance in the second half with another wonderful save from Soldado.
The Spain international looked set to break the deadlock after reacting quickest to the loose ball following a Gylfi Sigurdsson strike that crashed onto the crossbar, but Marshall made a superb reaction stop with his legs to continue to frustrate the striker.
Mackay then introduced Odemwingie just after the hour, and the Nigerian nearly capped his debut with a goal.
The 32-year-old's opportunity arrived three minutes after coming on for Campbell, but he sent his shot just wide of Lloris' goal after beating Jan Vertonghen.
Aron Gunnarsson had the hosts best chance of the game with 10 minutes to play as Odemwingie pulled a perfect ball back from the byline. The midfielder hit his effort first time but he leant back and sent the ball flying over the crossbar.
And Villas-Boas' side finally broke the deadlock in stoppage time as Lamela played a one-two with Soldado before finding Paulinho, who got in front of his marker to finish smartly from close range.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- The blue chip Dow index lost ground Wednesday, dragged down by U.S. jet maker Boeing.
Boeing stock dropped 3.38 percent after All Nippon Airways grounded its 787 Dreamliner fleet for inspections after one of its new jets was forced to make an emergency landing, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Boeing wasn't the only Dow component in the red. Sixteen of 30 Dow companies were down at the close and 13 were higher. That leaves one: Coca-Cola, which closed dead even on the day.
The Dow Jones industrial average staged a comeback from earlier losses, climbing from 66 points behind to a loss of 23.66 points, or 0.17 percent, to 13,511.23. The Nasdaq composite index added 6.77 points, or 0.22 percent, to 3,117.54. The Standard and Poor's 500 gained 0.29 points or 0.02 percent, to 1,472.63.
On the New York Stock Exchange, 1,385 stocks advanced and 1,630 declined on a volume of 3.1 billion shares traded.
The 10-year treasury note rose 4/32 to yield 1.825 percent.
Against the dollar, the euro fell to $1.3286 from Tuesday's $1.3305. The dollar was lower at 88.48 yen from 88.78 yen.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 index dropped 2.56 percent, 278.64 points, to 10,600.44.
In London, the FTSE 100 index lost 0.22 percent, 13.33 points, to 6,103.98.

This has been on my mind lately, hence my username. This is my understanding of Eve's part in the creationist story: [just to say it, I know it's fake, I'm just wondering how people could be on "God"s side.]
God told Adam and Eve not to eat fruit off the Tree of Knowledge. One day, a serpent told Eve that God was lying, she'd become more enlightened [or something along those lines] if she ate it. So like anyone else, Eve ate one, and gave one to Adam. They realized they were naked [that's just stupid. What kind of person doesn't realize they're naked?] and got leaves to cover themselves, etc. God kicked them out and punished Eve by making childbirth more painful than before.
???????? To me it looks like Eve was right and God was wrong here. Why is Eve so often shown in a negative light for what she did????

ancient people wrote the bible and most other sacred texts...
MODERN people interpreted the words in the bible and other sacred texts incorrectly.
if one REALLY does the studying, one will get strongs biblical concordance and cross check the greek and hebrew words and what they mean before saying that the bible story meant "this or that"
in the bible..
the word used for god is often a plural word..
and there are DIFFERENT gods that did different things..
yahweh was one of the gods in that congregation..
many xtiaqns would say im blashpheming..but i challenge any xtian to debate this with me, ...i have a strongs concordance handy ;)
anyhow adam and eve is a STORY which is mostly allegory, and very little fact
She disobeyed God. That's it.
the creation story goes back much further than hebrew sheep herders
and it was not just a story to show why people suffer...
if you are familiar with dr oyibo and g.a.g.u.t. the ORIGINAL story of creation mimics science in a profound was...but only if one nderstands the key to the allegory..
without the key, people will read these stories and become retarded
This is a good obsevation. The answer seems somewaht obvious though. When you're starting a cult following, as all religions are, knowledge is not a good thing. I have thought about this myself. Then to top it off, this jesus character comes along and gets cricified to atone for what Eve did? OK, I don't get it. What's the connection?
Let's see, the god wanted us all to remain blissfully stupid. Eve decided that knowledge was better. The god gets upset, and lets humanity suffer for a long time, then sends his emmissary, (through virgin birth no less), to get killed to atone for it.
That's the way I understand the story. Pretty loosly assembled if you ask me. On top of that, "virgin birth", (parthenogenisis?), can not produce a male offspring.
Someone should have told the ancients not to eat the mushrooms from the pasture.
Interesting take on the story, John D. I never looked at it as a metaphor to explain human suffering. I always looked at the glaring internal contradiction of the story itself, and religious admonition against knowledge.
The internal contradiction being this. If Adam and Eve were created without "knowledge" of good and evil, and were told not to eat from the tree, how could they know that eating from it and disobeying god was evil, and therefore wrong? They had to eat from it before they could "know" what they did was bad.
And then, there's the admonition against the acquisition of knowledge, and the horrible consequences if you do. That warning, alone, seems to sum up religion.
This story is meant to tell us that a woman's childbirth pains are not god's disfavour or unjustice to women but are a result of a woman's sin.
Such stories to explain away today's ills in a way favourable to god exist in scriptures of Hindu religion too.
Biologically seen, the survival of mammals including humans depends upon the willingness of the females to bear and raise children. Animals do not think, they have no option to be either willing or not, they are the robots to their procreation instinct.
But human females have such an option, unless men succeed in depriving them of the choice.
Men through history knew, that their success in breeding and spreading their genes depended on their control of over ignorant women.
Evolution has made men physically stronger enabling them thus to establish control over women. During all history and also at the time of the invention of the story of Eve and Adam, male power over women was more or less established in all societies. Polygamy, male power over all resources for survival, women being the property of men, were common social situations.
The male can rape a woman, he can force pregnancies upon her, but he cannot stop her from aborting, killing or abandoning the child, that she does not want to raise. This is the limit of a man's power over a woman's womb.
The fact, that the number of children is inversely related to women's eduction has well been observed in those modern societies, were women have at least legally equal rights and chances.
Therefore in addition to gain control over women, those men driven by the breeding instinct throughout history also attempted to keep women ignorant as a method to ascertain their willingness to breed. They attempted to keep the women doubly ignorant. Ignorant of any methods to avoid breeding and also ignorant of anything to do with themselves in life, that is more interesting and more rewarding than sacrificing themselves for their offspring.
The Eve and Adam story is nothing more than the religiously expressed advice for men to keep the women ignorant as the best method do their due to the survival of the species.
"M.K. - You claim "animals do not think.
I think you sould have adressed your reply to M .M. and not MK!
After my initial post, I went back and re-read the story again, to make sure I was correct about 2 trees. I was correct.
Genesis, Chapter 3
22. And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us [obvious reference to polytheism], to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23. Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
So, once man had knowledge, the next big risk the gods had was man joining their club by eating from the tree of life and gaining immortality. A possible explanation of why man is not, himself, a god, and is therefore subject to the whims of the gods, including suffering?
What better way for a religion dominated by men to make women look inferior as to portray them as gullible, untrustworthy and stupid. When Abraham was about to kill his son Issac god stops him but when Jephthah had to sacrifice his daughter god does nothing.
Religion: Controlling people through fear and ignorance for over 2000 years.
By whom? God, satan or Adam? Check out god because the poor thing does not exist. Adam possibly promted satan to tempt Eve because he wanted to eat the apple without taking the blame. Right?

Under The Radar: April 12, 2012
The App Store offers much more than just top-of-the-line, triple-A studio releases like Max Payne Mobile and Burnout: Crash. Every day, amateur and independent developers release new games, but most of them are widely ignored. We found five indie iOS games that we think are worth playing this week, so check out our picks below and support your App Store indies!
Don't Kill The Squirrel ! – The Action is in the Distraction !
Warning Label Games want you to come away from playing this game with one idea planted firmly in your head: If you use portable electronics while driving, you're far more likely to get into an accident. In this cartoon-like driving simulation, you have to navigate through traffic while your friends text you distractingly. You'll quickly learn that you can't pick up your phone, keep your eyes on the road, and avoid running over jogging squirrels at the same time. Don't Kill The Squirrel seems at times like a lighthearted game, but it carries a serious message.
Price: $.99
Propel Man is a flinging, flying game where you launch a parachute-packing hero as far as he'll go. First, you draw back the catapult. Then, you set the release point. From there, physics takes over. The more successful landings you complete, the more cash you'll earn to improve your catapult, suit, and parachute. Later, you'll be able to pick up rocket boosters and zap pesky birds with lasers. Propel Man himself doesn't have a lot of personality, but we enjoyed the simple gameplay.
Price: $.99
The Quest stars knight Sir Steve as he tries to locate the Holy Grail. Unfortunately for him, that means solving a series of perplexing, Rubik's Cube-inspired puzzles. Each cube is made up of land and water tiles, which Sir Steve can cross between with the help of a boat. But the terrain can change instantly when you rotate any of the cube's sides. This is a creative premise for a puzzle game, and it should especially appeal to anyone who has already mastered a Rubik's Cube.
Price: $.99
In this tricky puzzle-platformer, you have to draw trampolines on the screen to bounce your alien friend back into his spaceship. But that would be too easy, so you also have to pick up sweet treats as well. The line-drawing mechanic isn't brand-new (we've seen it before in games like Karuki) but it's used to good effect in Sweet Galaxy's challenging puzzles.
Price: $.99
In Save My Telly, you have to build an entertainment center that will withstand the elements. Every day, a new weather disaster will threaten to destroy your television– a gust of wind, a rainstorm, an earthquake, or even an Independence Day-style alien death ray. Each night, if your TV survives, you'll receive more cash to buy materials. You can also complete Tiny Wings-style bonus objectives to unlock new environments.
Price: Free

The shooting in Newtown, Connecticut caused shock and grief across this country that lingers — as it should — into this new year. The students and staff of Sandy Hook Elementary have returned to school, but we may never know what caused Adam Lanza to take those horrific actions.
What is possible to determine, based on research, are the educational practices that can help identify and support youth with a variety of emotional and behavioral disabilities.
Although his diagnosis is unclear, reports from Newtown indicate that Lanza was isolated, rarely left his home and was clearly experiencing psychological distress. Many students with emotional and behavioral disabilities — which can include mental illness, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and many other diagnoses — feel disconnected from their schools and communities.
It's important to note that Lanza's violence is the exception, not the rule. Students with emotional and behavioral disabilities are more likely to be victims of violent crime than perpetrators. There is a far more widespread crisis for the two million youth in the United States with emotional and behavioral disabilities: low rates of graduation and high rates of incarceration.
The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that, nationally, less than 50 percent of students with emotional and behavioral disabilities graduate from high school, and these students are twice as likely as students with other types of disabilities to live in a correctional facility, halfway house, drug treatment center, or on the street after leaving school. A University of New Hampshire study found that 73 percent of the incarcerated youth at the Sununu Youth Services Center in Manchester had a diagnosed disability.
Effective school-based interventions can ease the pain of these students, raise graduation rates, help students connect with their community through mentors and peer groups, and improve the overall school culture and climate.
Unfortunately, many schools still focus primarily on punitive discipline policies. Policies like "zero-tolerance" — which emphasizes the use of suspension and expulsion in addressing problem behavior — neglect to examine the root causes of problem behavior and consequently do little to prevent the behavior from reoccurring.
Students who are suspended or expelled often drop out of school, which frequently leads to juvenile delinquency, arrests, and prison. Studies also show that these policies do little to improve school safety and disproportionately impact students with emotional and behavioral disabilities as well as students of color.
These grim statistics for students with emotional and behavioral disabilities alarmed me, and fueled my desire to create a new film that could be a resource to help educators, parents and others to understand and better serve children with behavioral and emotional challenges. I decided to focus on Somersworth (NH) High School.
In 2006, Somersworth High School had one of the lowest graduation rates in the state of New Hampshire (nearly 1 in 10 students dropped out), and discipline issues were rampant. The school decided to participate in a New Hampshire Department of Education initiative called Achievement in Dropout Prevention and Excellence (APEX), which provided high schools with training and support to implement an evidence-based approach called Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS).
Working with the Institute on Disability's Dr. JoAnne Malloy and the APEX team, Somersworth High School used the PBIS approach to develop a concise outline of the behaviors that were expected of all students, created systems for identifying students that needed more intensive supports, and established clear guidelines for addressing discipline problems (learn more about PBIS at www.pbis.org).
For those students who were at the greatest risk of dropping out of school, Somersworth implemented RENEW (Rehabilitation for Empowerment, Natural Supports, Education, & Work), a student-led planning model developed by Malloy. The results were dramatic: by 2010, Somersworth High reduced its dropout rate by 75 percent, and behavior problems were down by 65 percent.
The film Who Cares About Kelsey? focuses on Somersworth High School student Kelsey Carroll of Rollinsford. When Kelsey entered high school, she was a more likely candidate for the juvenile justice system than graduation. She had a diagnosis of ADHD and carried the emotional scars of homelessness and substance abuse, along with some actual scars of repeated self-mutilation. As a freshman, she didn't earn a single academic credit and was suspended for dealing drugs. Many wrote her off as a "problem kid" — destined for drug addiction and jail.
During her sophomore year, Kelsey became involved in RENEW. She worked with a committed team of educators to identify her dreams and a realistic path to achieving them. By her junior year, her trajectory had changed dramatically. Who Cares About Kelsey? is the story of Kelsey's transformation from a defiant and disruptive high school student to a motivated and self-confident young woman who is living on her own and attending college.
By sharing her life on film, Kelsey is helping to bring attention to new educational approaches that empower — not overpower — youth with emotional and behavioral disabilities.
It's too late to reach Adam Lanza, who serves as a horrific example of a gap in our society's ability to effectively identify youth in crisis, and intervene with services and supports. But it's not too late to reach and support more than two million other young people in the United States with emotional and behavioral disabilities.
Who Cares About Kelsey? will air on NH Public Television on Saturday, January 19 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, January 20 at 6 p.m. For more information about the broadcast and to watch the film trailer, go to www.whocaresaboutkelsey.com.

Other big economies may be stuck in the doldrums - I'm talking to you, euro zone - but if the past week's report on exports is any indication, China is back on the fast track.
The thing is, plenty of key reports are about to be published, so China watchers will have a lot to sort through before the outlook becomes clear.
In the coming week, "the focus is going to be on thatfourth quarter GDP report" says Rebecca Patterson, chief investment officer at Bessemer Trust. If that number is solid, and jibes with other reports on retail sales, industrial production, and fixed asset investment, "then the stars really align and you're going to Chinese related assets take off."
The way to play that with currencies, Patterson told CNBC's Melissa Lee, is with the Australian dollar. China is Australia's largest trading partner, so she wants to buy the Aussie against the U.S. dollar on a pullback.

Friday, December 06, 2013 - Borek and Milan RAW - FULL CONTACT
Borek and Milan RAW - FULL CONTACT
Milan Zrzek came in for a scene with Borek Sokol. We find them in an apartment. As Borek leans out of the window to photograph the scene Milan goes behind him and starts to play with his ass. He lowers Borek's jeans to expose the ass. Spreading the cheeks Milan begins to rim the tight hole, and teases it with a finger. His tongue laps at the hole and then Borek turns around, his cock hard, so that Milan can suck him. He licks and sucks on Borek's rock hard cock and then gets his own big dick out. Sitting on the chair, his cock standing proud Milan continues to suck on Borek's. Then Borek goes down onto his knees and wraps his mouth around Milan's massive erection. He sucks and wanks it and then stands up to sit his hot ass right down on that huge pole. He rides that cock, his own dick staying rock hard as his ass gets stretched. Then Borek lays on the marble table so that Milan can really work his dick into that eager hole. Borek wanks himself as Milan pounds his ass. Milan's huge cock really works that hole. Then he pulls out and lays his cock on Borek's so they can both be wanked together. Shoving the dick back into Borek's ass he fucks again. Borek then moves again, bending over to take that dick again. He wanks himself as he takes it, and soon shoots his cum. Milan carries on with his fucking until he is ready to shoot to and positions himself to dump his cum on Borek's hot body. Then he leans over and kisses Borek to end a lovely scene.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Jiri Tucek made a welcome return to the studio and we matched him with Jon Bon. We find the two of them just waking from a sleep. Jon leans over and kisses Jiri. He kisses his way down Jiri's body, until he gets to his cock. He takes the hardening cock in his mouth and sucks it. Jiri's hand is on Jon's head pushing him down on that big cock. Removing his jeans Jiri gets onto his knees and slips his cock back into Jon's mouth. He leans over and 69s with Jon. Then Jon removes his jeans and they return to the 69, sucking each other real well. Jiri goes back onto his knees and has Jon suck him more. Jiri's foot is rubbing Jon's cock and balls as his own dick gets sucked. Then Jiri rims Jon's ass getting it ready for some cock. He slides his big dick into that eager ass and starts to fuck. He fucks nice and deep, opening that hole so well. Moving to spoon position Jiri continues to work that hot ass as Jon wanks himself. Then Jiri lays on the bed and Jon slides is ass over that big cock and rides it. Jiri wanks on Jon's cock as he fucks him. Soon Jon's dick squirts it hot cum over Jiri's body, as his hole gets stretched. Jiri is ready to cum too and he straddles Jon's chest and dumps his load too. Jon sucks on Jiri's spent cock to drain it completely. Then the two of them kiss again and go off to enjoy a nice refreshing shower.

Cr Quirk said he wanted to develop a ''bikeway commuter network'' in eight high-employment areas rather than in established ''recreation'' areas.
Under the scheme, bikeways would be either built or expanded in eight zones, including: along the Australia Trade Coast; at Toowong Indooroopilly and St Lucia; in Nudgee, Banyo and Boondall, near Chermside; between Rocklea, Darra, Oxley, Inala and Richlands; in the central city and Fortitude Valley; at Griffith University and Mt Gravatt and in South Brisbane and Woolloongabba.
Still misses the northside --> city link, and 120 million over 4 years is kinda peanuts, but it's not so bad I guess, focusing on commuting instead of recreation is certainly a step forward. Thoughts?

Lactate Dehyderogenase, Serum
Interpreting Results
Overview of LDH
What is LDH?
This test measures the amount of an enzyme called lactate dehydrogenase that is an important marker for tissue injury anywhere in the body. It may be ordered, along with other tests such as a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), when your doctor suspects that a disease or condition is causing some degree of cellular or tissue damage. LDH levels may also occasionally be ordered when an individual has experienced muscle trauma or injury or when a person has signs and symptoms of hemolytic anemia. LDH testing may be ordered on a regular basis when an individual has been diagnosed with cancer.
Why is LDH done?
- As a part of comprehensive metabolic panel
- In many diseases, when your doctor suspects some cellolar or tissue damage
- If you have signs or symptoms of hemolytic anemia
- In certain cases, when some cancers are suspected
- If you have symptoms of meningitis like neck stiffness, severe headache, high fever, vomiting, rashes, then spinal fluid may be checked for LDH
Preparation for LDH
- No special preparation required
Sample Type for LDH
The sample type collected for Lactate Dehyderogenase, Serum is: Blood
Interpreting LDH results
- Increased levels of Lactate Dehydrogenase usually indicate some type of tissue damage. Therefore, they may be elevated in a variety of conditions like hemolytic anemia, megaloblastic anemia, infections, acute kidney and liver diseases, testicular cancers and lymphoma. A high LDH level may indicate that the treatment for cancer has not been successful. The LDH level may also remain persistently high in some chronic and progressive conditions.
- Low levels of LDH usually do not indicate a problem. It may be seen when someone ingests large amount of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about LDH
Frequently Asked Questions about Lactate Dehyderogenase, Serum
Q. Is LDH used to diagnose heart attack?
Earlier LDH was used to diagnose an acute heart attack, but new, far more sensitive and specific tests have completely replaced it as a test for heart muscle injury.

Bontrager's Super Charger is a shop-worthy pump for the home mechanic. The base, barrel, handle and gauge are crafted from aluminum, so it's tough, durable and lightweight. Replaceable internals extend the life of the pump. It's also got an extra-long hose, an easy to read gauge, and an auto-select head that instantly fits both Presta and Schrader valves. A clever, built-in air release makes it easy to really dial in your pressure. And the comfy handle and large, stable base assists pumping and minimizes tipping, too.

Great bike pump
By Sarah
from Brooklyn
About Me
Is it okay to call a bike pump life changing? The last time I purchased a bike pump (from another bike store) I was told there was little difference between the base model and a higher end model. I naturally bought the base model. Boy were they mistaken! This pump fills my tires quickly and accurately. For the first time, my tires finally have the correct PSI after using a home pump! And I didn't break a sweat filling them!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Pump, No Regrets !
By DougG63
from Grosse Pointe, MI
I use this pump for all my bikes. My Joe Blow Pro is now my backup pump.
Awesome floor pump
By Red Zie
from Tustin, CA
I was going to the store looking for Bontrager HD, the red one, no longer in store. Got this one and will not regret it. Psi is accurate on the spot. Had a nail on my Camry tire, fix the hole, pumped it up, works great on my car tire too. My main use is bicycle tires. Works perfect. If you have the money, buy this one.
Love it!
By Rick
from Decatur, IL
I love this pump! First off, it is a thing of beauty. I could put it on a shelf on display in my home.
The pump functions great. It works with both presta and schrader valves. The gauge is big and high so you can see the numbers easily.

2014 Emmys dream ballot
The 2014 Emmys nominations will be announced July 10. The process is illogical– a matter of industry politics, personal maneuvering and category shopping to improve the odds. Now that there is an over-abundance of quality television, there are bound to be lots of Emmy snubs to evaluate after the nominations are revealed ("Hannibal," "Masters of Sex," sorry). For now, let's not even try to predict. Instead, here is my dream ballot for major categories.
Best drama series
Breaking Bad – last year's winner
Mad Men
Game of Thrones
The Americans
True Detective – should've been in miniseries category
The Good Wife – long deserving
Best comedy series
Orange Is the New Black – should've invented a new dramedy category
The Big Bang Theory
Modern Family – last year's winner
Brooklyn Nine Nine
Best actor-drama
Matthew McConaughey
Bryan Cranston
Kevin Spacey
Michael Sheen
James Spader – single-handedly revived NBC
Hugh Dancy
Best actor-comedy
Louis C.K. – better recognized for creating/writing?
Jim Parsons – last year's winner
Matt LeBlanc – in "Episodes," a little known gem
Andy Samberg
Thomas Middleditch – "Silicon Valley," splendid newcomer
William H. Macy
Best actress-drama
Julianna Marguiles
Robin Wright
Vera Famiga
Claire Danes – last year's winner
Tatiana Maslany
Lizzy Caplan
Best actress-comedy
Julia Louis Dreyfus – last year's winner
Taylor Schilling
Anna Farris
Alex Borstein
Lena Dunham
Edie Falco
This year's awards ceremony will be telecast weeks earlier than usual and on a Monday: The 66th Primetime Emmys are scheduled to air live on Monday, Aug. 25 from 8-11 pm ET/5-8 pm PT.
