Lube-System Overhaul Dispenses Cost Savings on Every Front
At the same time, in another area of the plant, more than a dozen progressive-die presses stamp a variety of smaller mower components—muffler guards, frame components and the like. Here, MTD operators change over press lines as often as seven times per shift. Each job has its own, unique lubricant requirements to avoid over-application and waste, while still ensuring consistent coverage to optimize part quality and die life.

New Programmable Roller-Coater Units
To address its lubrication concerns in both areas of the plant, early in 2006 MTD maintenance manager Trent Rutkowski began to replace the spray-lubrication equipment on the plant's presses with roller-type equipment. It started with a test unit from Unist, Grand Rapids, MI, a uni-Roller Type S equipped with Unist's SPR-2000 programmable controller, so that MTD could estimate the reduction in lubricant consumption due to eliminating overspray and therefore justify the investment needed to install the units on several of its presses. MTD then brought Unist personnel into the plant to train all of its press operators on the equipment, to ensure operator approval. Within two years, the plant had installed the uni-Roller and SPR-2000 on eight coil-fed presses. It also installed Unist powered uni-Rollers and SPR-2000s on a pair of blank-fed press lines.
"Upgrading our lubrication technology has been the most successful project we've implemented in recent years," says Trent Rutkowski. "With our previous oilers, we constantly fought maintenance battles with the pumps, filters, etc. We tried to implement TPM at he cell level, but the work wasn't getting done. So we bypassed operator involvement to let them focus on other more important tasks around their press cells and decided to automate the lubrication process. I'd estimate that we've reduced press downtime due to lubrication issues throughout the plant by at least 20 percent."
Among the Unist installations, Trent says that the most noteworthy improvements came on the progressive-die presses, where he has installed the uni-Roller units on eight of 15 coil-fed presses. On these lines, where press size varies from 150 to 800 tons, the coil line feeds the stock through the uni-Roller, which applies lubricant to the top and bottom of the material. To set up a press for a new job, the operator only has to select a predetermined program on the SPR-2000 controller based on coil width.
"We used to run the same lube settings for every job, regardless of coil width," adds Trent. "This led to a lot of overspray and waste, and the subsequent cleanup time and associated costs. Also, running three shifts, without the programmable control, we might have operators on each shift run different lubricant settings for the same part. Now we get consistent, even coverage, top and bottom, with no need to spray lubricant in the die, with improved part quality to show for it. Our tools stay cool, which has saved us a significant amount of tool and die repair time." The plant last installed a uni-Roller and SPR-2000 setup in August 2008, on a 500-ton Verson, and Trent expects to continue to change over its presses well into 2009.

Long-Lasting Application for Tandem Line
In addition to its coil-fed progressive-die stamping lines, the MTD team also installed new lubricant setups on a blank-fed five-press tandem line that stamps muffler guards and other parts with relatively smaller draws. Here the lubricant might have to last through as many as eight die stations, so Unist supplied its powered roller equipment and high-output rollers. The powered uni-Roller dispenses lubricant from a tube inside of the roller. The tube has holes spaced along its length and as the fluid controller injects lubricant into the tube, the lubricant is dispersed evenly across the inside of the roller. The setup features an array of 12-in. rollers staggered and overlapping to allow programming of custom application patterns onto the blanks.
"Before, applying enough lubricant to adequately coat the blanks on this tandem line required in-die spraying in addition to roll coating at the entry side of the first press," says Trent. "We could only position nozzles to spray the top of the stock, not the bottom, and we also had overspray issues. Now we coat top and bottom once with no need to spray in the die."
Central Mix and Supply Stations
All of the MTD stamping presses run the same lubricant—a synthetic mixed with water in two different compositions—one mix handles the jobs at the tandem line and the 1600-ton transfer press that deep-draws mower decks; and one mix for the progressive-die press lines.
"We have two central mixing and supply stations to deliver premixed lubricant to all of our presses," adds Trent. "We're consuming about 350 gal. of the synthetic lube every two weeks."
|Deep drawing these mower decks at line speeds to 12 strokes/min. can generate a lot of heat. Any lubrication failings can quickly lead to galling and other premature die-wear issues caused by overheating.
Before installing the Unist equipment, press operators would have to fill reservoirs at each press, fed by the central supply stations. Now the supply stations feed directly to the presses, "yet one less procedure our operators must worry about," Trent says, which also helps ensure that the dies consistently receive well-lubricated parts and, therefore, won't prematurely wear.
Savings Keep Adding Up
Along with his conservative estimate of a 20 percent reduction in downtime due to lubrication-system issues, Trent also estimates (conservatively) that the plant's purchase of raw lubricant has been reduced by 11 percent since it began to install the Unist equipment some 30 months ago. This reduction is made more important since the price of its lubricant has continued to rise over the last few years.
"Overall, very little attention now is required of our operators to the lubrication process and equipment," he says. "Typically the operators would be involved with cleanup, refill and recycling activities—that's all been eliminated. We get an even coat of lubricant on the top and bottom of the material, and have eliminated the time-consuming mop-up and cleanup of the overspray from our previous lubrication systems." MF

Golen scored a career-best 13 points against Minnesota at
the Best Buy Classic (Jon Luszcz).
Minneapolis, Minn. – The Harvard women's basketball team had its three-game winning streak snapped Saturday with a 79-53 loss at Minnesota in the second game of the Best Buy Classic.
Emma Golen, who last night scored a then career-high 11 points, led the Crimson (4-5) with a new career-best 13 points. Brogan Berry and Christine Clark each added 11 points, with Berry dishing out a season-high eight assists and grabbing seven rebounds. Berry's eight helpers moved her past Barbarann Keefer '88 on Harvard's career assists list, where she now stands in fourth place with 439.
Harvard held a 44-33 rebounding advantage over Minnesota (6-5), highlighted by Victoria Lippert's 10 boards. The Golden Gophers held Harvard to a season-low 28.1 percent shooting, however, and scored 20 points off 16 Crimson turnovers. Kiara Buford led all scorers with 25 points as Minnesota combined to shoot 53.3 percent.
Golen kept the Crimson in the game early, scoring each of Harvard's first seven points to open the game. Trailing 9-2, she buried a three from the corner and on the next trip down the court hit a putback to bring the score to 11-7. A pair of Elle Hagedorn free throws made it a two point game, 11-9, and her three-pointer with 9:56 remaining in the first cut the deficit to 13-12.
Clark scored four straight points to give Harvard its first lead of the day, 16-15, hitting a jumper and later following her own miss for the putback. The Golden Gophers responded with a 9-0 run, however, to regain a 24-16 edge. Golen ended the drought with her second three-pointer, and after Clark's and-one the Crimson trailed 27-22. A 6-2 stretch over the final 2-plus minutes gave the Golden Gophers a 33-24 halftime edge.
Golen totaled 10 points in the first half, shooting 4-of-6 from the floor and 2-of-3 from three. Clark and Hagedorn added seven points and five points, respectively, while Berry dished out five assists. Harvard held a 24-15 advantage over Minnesota on the glass, but nine Crimson turnovers led to 13 points to give the Golden Gophers the nine-point margin.
Minnesota opened its first double-digit lead with a three from Buford, 40-30, but Golen continued her strong play and answered right back on the ensuing possession with a three of her own. Buford again made it a 10-point game from behind the arc, and for the second time Harvard responded, this time with a three from Lippert, to put the score at 47-40.
The Golden Gophers began to pull away following Lippert's triple, using a 16-4 run over a seven-minute stretch to open a 63-44 lead. A 6-2 run over the last two minutes gave Minnesota the final 79-53 margin.
The Crimson will take two weeks away from the court for finals and return to action Dec. 22 against St. John's at Lavietes Pavilion. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m.
GAME NOTES: Emma Golen scored a career-high 13 points and was 3-of-7 from beyond the arc, one night after scoring a then career-high 11 points against Alcorn State … Brogan Berry dished out a season-high eight assists while Victoria Lippert pulled down a season-best 10 rebounds … Brogan Berry's eight helpers moved her past Barbarann Keefer '88 on both the Harvard and Ivy League career assists list, placing her fourth in school history and 12th in League annals with 439 … Christine Clark made her first free-throw of the game to extend her consecutive makes streak to 29, but missed on her second attempt and finished 3-of- 6 at the line … Christine Clark has scored in double-digits each game this season and in 11 straight dating back to last year … Harvard has outrebounded its opponents in eight of nine games this season, including six straight.

LifeProof Fre iPad mini Case Review/
We managed to cover every iPhone case LifeProof has made over the years except for one, LifeProof's iPad case. Introduced in June, LifeProof's Fre case for the iPad mini is an unseemingly ultra-protective case that as you'd expect, is designed to be waterproof down to depths of 6.6ft, drop and impact proof from up to 4ft, snow proof, dirt and sand proof. Despite our underwhelming experience with the Fre case for the iPhone 5, LifeProof has ironed out some of the more infamous kinks with the iPad mini variant. But such a ruggedly slim tablet case doesn't come cheap, the Fre will set you back $100. Arguably a small price to pay in exchange for peace of mind. But is it good enough? Let's find out!

XFiles Friday: No stinkin' evidence.April 10, 2009 — Deacon Duncan
(Book: I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST, by Geisler and Turek, chapter 12.)
Last week, Geisler and Turek began their defense against the principle that "extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence." They took a scattershot approach, first arguing that this was an unreasonable demand, then adopting a most peculiar definition of "extraordinary" in order to build a straw man they could easily cast down, then attempting to argue (unsuccessfully) that they did have extraordinary evidence after all.
This week, they try and turn the tables, arguing that skeptics themselves believe in extraordinary claims without having any extraordinary evidence.
We don't need "extraordinary" evidence to believe something. Atheists affirm that from their own worldview. They believe in the Big Bang not because they have "extraordinary" evidence for it but because there is good evidence that the universe exploded into being out of nothing. Good evidence is all you need to believe something. However, atheists don't have even good evidence for some of their own precious beliefs. For example, atheists believe in spontaneous generation and macroevolution on faith alone. We say faith alone because, as we saw in chapters 5 and 6, there's not only little or no evidence for spontaneous generation and macroevolution, but there's strong evidence against those possibilities.
Let's count how many things Geisler and Turek manage to distort, misrepresent, or otherwise get wrong in these brief seven sentences.
- Nobody is saying "We need extraordinary evidence to believe something." The point G&T purport to address is that extraordinary evidence is needed to believe extraordinary claims, not just any old claims.
- There is no such thing as an "atheistic worldview," any more than there is a "people-who-do-not-believe-in-Santa worldview," or a "people-who-do-not-like-Bruce-Lee-movies worldview." Atheists are a diverse group with diverse views, having in common only their lack of belief in the deities promoted by men.
- Not only is there not "good evidence that the universe exploded into being out of nothing," there is no evidence for this at all. Geisler and Turek simply have a very naive and very wrong image of what the Big Bang is, and what evidence ought to accompany it.
- The Big Bang theory, despite its picturesque name, is not a literal explosion, as in a sudden release of energy forcefully propelling matter out in all directions. The Big Bang is a sudden, rapid expansion of space itself, which is why there is no center to the universe.
- The Big Bang theory says that time, space, and matter/energy all originate in the same singularity, not that they all originate in "nothing."
- Because time and the material universe had the same origin, it can truthfully be said that the universe has no "beginning," since there was never a time when it did not exist.
- Saying that "good" evidence is all we need begs the question of what it takes for the evidence to be "good". In the case of extraordinary claims, mere hearsay is not good evidence.
- Atheists are not the only people who believe in abiogenesis and evolution.
- Not all atheists believe in abiogenesis and evolution.
- Abiogenesis is not spontaneous generation, just as sexual reproduction is not cloning. They may produce similar results, but the two processes are significantly different, and occur under different circumstances. Spontaneous generation refers to maggots, rodents, and other complex creatures magically poofing into existence out of decaying meat, wheat fields, etc.
- Macroevolution is not a distinct process from evolution (or microevolution). The term macroevolution refers to the cumulative effects of microevolution over longer periods of time.
- Atheists do not take evolution on faith alone, as shown by the number of theistic evolutionists.
- Scientists, whether atheistic or theistic, do not regard abiogenesis as a proven conclusion, since there is currently no working model for how it would operate. Abiogenesis is simply the alternative whose possibilities are the most consistent with the evidence we have so far.
- Chapters 5 and 6 proved only that Geisler and Turek are willing and even eager to prostitute their limited understanding of science in order to promote a biased conclusion.
Ok, so they have about twice as many goofs, distortions and outright falsehoods as there are sentences in their paragraph. So much for turning the tables on the skeptics! But wait, there's more:
Furthermore, skeptics don't demand "extraordinary" evidence for other "extraordinary" events from history. For example, few events from ancient history are more "extraordinary" than the accomplishments of Alexander the Great (356-323 B. C.). Despite living only 33 years, Alexander achieved unparalleled success. He conquered much of the civilized world at the time… Yet how do we know this about Alexander? We have no sources from his lifetime or soon after his death. And we have only fragments of two works from about 100 years after his death. The truth is, we base virtually everything we know about the "extraordinary" life of Alexander the Great from historians who wrote 300 to 500 years after his death! In light of the robust evidence for the life of Christ, anyone who doubts Christ's historicity should also doubt the historicity of Alexander the Great. In fact, to be consistent, such a skeptic would have to doubt all of ancient history.
Speaking of consistency, it's hard to see how Alexander's life is "extraordinary" if, as Geisler and Turek argued last week, the term "extraordinary" means "repeatable in a laboratory." But I digress.
Geisler and Turek's approach in the above paragraph is a simple equivocation on the meaning of "extraordinary." Alexander's life is "extraordinary" in the sense that few people are both emperors and generals, and fewer still achieve the same kind of success as Alexander did. This is "extraordinary" in the simple sense of being "rare." We're not talking about an Alexander the Great who achieved his military success by magically growing into an 80-foot-tall giant who literally stomped the opposition, or an Alexander who could make his men invulnerable just by pinching his nose. We're not talking, in other words, about "extraordinary" in the sense of "contrary to and in violation of the apparent limits imposed by natural law."
Notice, too, the defective view of "evidence" proposed by Geisler and Turek. In their view, only written accounts are evidence. This is the apologist's emphasis, once again, on the mandate that we must put our faith in the words of men. There is no place, in their verbally-based standard of evidence, for considering things like the sudden establishment of the Greek language as a multinational common tongue, or widely distant cities named (*ahem*) "Alexandria," or the difference between early documents not existing today and early documents not existing period, or the deductive approach we can take by comparing records across disparate traditions.
More importantly, Geisler and Turek fail to ask the important question of why some witnesses might be more questionable than others, even despite an apparent chronological advantage. The documents Geisler and Turek cite as being "robust evidence" for the life of Christ consists entirely of the claims of men, some some allegedly first-hand, some hearsay, all written by evangelists, by zealous proponents for a particular dogma, men who by G&T's own testimony were so committed to their version of things that they were willing to die for it. Neutral, unbiased historians? Come on!
The history of Alexander the Great is documented by a huge amount of corollary anthropological information on the spread of Greek culture and civilization that followed after him, and there is currently no good reason to doubt that his story, though rarely repeated, is entirely within the realm of ordinary mortals exercising purely natural leadership skills and exploiting military, political, and economic opportunities to their own advantage. No one would use the life of Alexander as proof that the Greek pantheon were all real gods. His life wasn't that kind of "extraordinary."
The story of the life of Christ, however, involves quite a bit more. It's not just that people only occasionally rise from the dead as immortal deities, nor is it a question of this alleged resurrection being witnessed and testified to outside the immediate circle of die-hard believers, no matter when their testimonies were written. There is, I believe, sufficient evidence to document that a man named Jesus did exist, and did form the core of what eventually became Christianity. The key claims of the Gospel, however—up to and including the so-called resurrection—are "extraordinary" in the extreme sense of not being at all consistent with what you and I can see in the real world. The story is much more consistent, in fact, with the conclusion that spiritually-minded Christians fooled themselves first, before turning to fool others with their oral and written words.
Ultimately, the "robust evidence" Geisler and Turek refer to consists exclusively of men making claims that are unsupported by the evidence. The early date at which they made these claims does not change the fact that the nature of this "evidence" is that it consists of unsupported claims.
Alexander's career, by contrast, had a huge impact on ancient civilization, and is the reason that, for example, the New Testament was written in Greek instead of in the native language of the people that wrote it. Granted, there is similar evidence for the accomplishments of Christians in the years following Jesus, but this is all evidence of what the men said and did, not evidence that the "miracles" of the first century were anything more than the "miracles" we see today (which consist of men talking themselves into believing they've experienced something other observers cannot detect).
Geisler and Turek close this section by repeating the tired canard that "atheists just don't want to believe," which they "rebut" by repeating their earlier (somewhat backwards) claims that we know miracles are possible because God exists.
Why do skeptics demand "extraordinary" evidence for the life of Christ but not the life of Alexander the Great? Because they're hung up on miracles again. Despite the fact that miracles are possible because God exists—and despite the fact that miracles were predicted and then witnessed—skeptics can't bear to admit that miracles have actually occurred. So they set the bar for believability to high. It's as if some skeptics are saying, "I won't believe in miracles because I haven't seen one. If the resurrected Jesus were to appear to me, then I would believe in him." Now that would be extraordinary evidence.
Finally, after all that flailing around, Geisler and Turek stumble onto the truth. The extraordinary claim is that Jesus rose from the dead. The extraordinary evidence that would be consistent with that claim would be for a risen Jesus to show up for someone besides fanatical believers to see. Geisler and Turek could have saved themselves a lot of fumbling around by simply admitting the truth up front.
Alas, they're only playing at devil's advocate here, and having raised the subject of the genuine "extraordinary" evidence that would fit their extraordinary claim, they can't wait to jump away from it.
It certainly would be extraordinary, but is it really necessary? Does Jesus have to appear to every person in the world to make his claims credible? Why would he? We don't have to witness every event firsthand in order to believe the event actually occurred. In fact, it would be physically impossible to do so. We believe the testimony of others if they are trustworthy individuals, and especially if their testimony is corroborated by other data. This is exactly the case with the testimony of the New Testament writers.
Once again, they take a reasonable standard of evidence, and try to twist it into some kind of unreasonable demand by taking it to unreasonable extremes. Instead of Jesus just showing up in real life after his resurrection, Geisler and Turek take us straight to the extreme of Jesus has to personally appear to every person in the world, which would be physically impossible, right? I mean, Jesus would have to be God or something.
But it's not either/or. We don't have to choose between "Jesus appears to every person" and "Jesus doesn't appear at all." President Obama does not personally visit each and every person in the world individually, yet (unlike Jesus) he shows up in real life enough to establish as factual the conclusion that he exists. Jesus, unfortunately, can't quite live up to a standard set so high.
They close by repeating their earlier claim that God can't show up in real life without committing a sin against our free will.
Furthermore, as we pointed out in chapter 8, if God were too overt because of frequent miraculous displays, then he might, in some cases, infringe on our free will. If the purpose of this life is to allow us to freely make choices that will prepare us for eternity, then God will give us convincing evidence but not compelling evidence of his existence and purposes.
As they declared before, this means God can only give us a Book, and can't actually do any of the miracles that are claimed by the Book. To go beyond a mere tale would be to infringe on our free will by allowing us to make informed and truth-based choices, instead of having to rely solely on gullibility and faith in the words of men. Sigh.
Thus, Geisler and Turek come to their feeble, hand-waving conclusion. Having done everything to distract us from the real evidence which would actually support the claims of the Gospel, when they finally do confront it, they have to implicitly concede that they do not have this evidence, and then pretend we don't really need it anyway. In a book whose entire premise is that the evidence is on the Christian's side, Geisler and Turek end up pleading, "We don't need no stinkin' evidence, we can just put our faith in whatever unsubstantiated claims men try to sell us."
Like I said before, they could have saved themselves a lot of fumbling if they'd just admitted up front that they have no answer for the problem of extraordinary claims demanding extraordinary evidence. When it comes right down to it, they evidence they really need is precisely the evidence they don't have, because neither the Father nor the Son actually shows up in real life. And that's been the apologist's problem for the past 2,000 years.

In this paper we continue the investigation of the asymptotic behavior of the parallel volume in Minkowski spaces as the distance tends to infinity that was started in [13]. We will show that the difference of the parallel volume of the convex hull of a body and the parallel volume of the body itself can at most have order \(r^{d-2}\) in dimension \(d\). Then we will show that in the Euclidean case this difference can at most have order \(r^{d-3}\). We will also examine the asymptotic behavior of the derivative of this difference as the distance tends to infinity. After this we will compute the derivative of \(f_\mu (rK)\) in \(r\), where \(f_\mu\) is the Wills functional or a similar functional, \(K\) is a fixed body and \(rK\) is the Minkowski-product of \(r\) and \(K\). Finally we will use these results to examine Brownian paths and Boolean models and derive new proofs for formulae for intrinsic volumes.

I would like to point to the beautiful section 4.3 (page 42) of these lecture notes. I think this is the most educative exposition I have ever seen anywhere about Yang-Mill's beta function. What I love best about it is that it does it without using diagramatics (and its confusing combinatorics)(..though of course these are equivalent..but I find this language most comfortable..)
I have the following questions in relation to the above,
In the above the author has picked out the terms quadratic in the fluctuations in equation 4.40 and evaluated the determinant and that gives the 1-loop effective action.
What would one do in this method if one had to go to 2-loops or higher? What is the relationship between how many orders one keeps in the fluctuation field and how many loop result it translates into? (..if there a reference which shows going to higher loops in this method?..)
Can I use the method in these notes to evaluate the corrected gauge or the Fermion propagator? If someone could outline the steps..
Here the author has chosen a constant and static background gauge (why?) and hence he has in 4.40 no term which is a derivative of the background gauge field left. I guess one would have to lift this restriction if one had to calculate the gauge field propagator correction. With this assumption about the background gauge field lifted I guess that one would have to then compute the $\Gamma^{1-loop}$ as defined in equation 4.41 and pick out the terms quadratic in the gauge field in it and invert that.
In the above the author has picked out from $\Gamma^{1-loop}$ only the terms quartic in the gauge field and and calculated the divergent contribution to it which is the shift in the gauge coupling constant. But the gauge coupling constant is also multiplying the term cubic in the gauge field and there is a 1-loop shift even there. What about that? Is there some theorem which guarantees that the beta-function derived by tacking the cubic term would have been the same?
I guess that since even after choosing a constant and static gauge field one can track a change in the gauge coupling constant through a quartic term, it makes sense. But if one were in a theory (or in light-cone gauge!) where the gauge coupling constant were existing only in a term which has derivatives of the gauge field then I guess this choice of a background would not work.
I would like to know of a precise way of understanding the above. (...there is also the issue of whether the 1-loop effective action done this way can throw up terms that were removed by a gauge choice..and then what would one do..)

How can construction productivity be lower today than it was 15 years ago? asks a new report from Stevens Construction Institute, Inc. During this recession, companies have eliminated marginal employees, leaving core ones who are now cross-trained more. With all the advances in professionalism, methods, technology, and human resource training, we should have seen an increase in our productivity as other industries have enjoyed, according to the report.
However, this has not happened. Instead, with the exception of a brief upsurge in 2009, possibly attributable to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), productivity has steadily declined since 2005, currently measured to be lower than it was in 1997. How is this possible?

IRONMAN France Nice Media Guidelines
Media are welcome to cover the IRONMAN France Nice, Sunday 14 June 2020, on the provision that an application for accreditation is submitted and approved.
Journalists and photographers can get as close to the athletes as spectators can without any access passes, which means that even without accreditation it will be possible be part of the event, photograph athletes and report directly from the IRONMAN France Nice.
We can distribute accreditation to a limited number of journalists/photographers only. In the interest of the athletes we therefore ask you to specify in your application for accreditation for the following areas and facilities:
- Motorcycle and boat access*
- Finish line*
*Due to limited resources, motorcycle access is not guaranteed.
*As the Finish Line is a limited access area, media who cannot be accommodated on the Primary Finish Line Area will be given access to the Secondary Finish Line Area permitting media access to the winners in the Media Tent for interviews.
VIP – NO media will be allowed into VIP unless they are in possession of VIP accreditation.
PRO interviews – All interviews will need to be conducted in the Media Tent near the Finish Line or be planned with the Media Manager.
TRANSITION – Only IRONMAN media with the correct accreditation (Blue and Red media) will be allowed in Transition
SWIM START – Only media with the correct accreditation (Blue and Red media) will be allowed in the Swim Start Area. For safety reasons no members of the media will be allowed to move in front of the starting cannon.
PRIMARY FINISH LINE AREA - Only media with the correct accreditation (Blue media) will be allowed in the Primary Finish Line Area.
Media who are not accredited to be in the Primary Finish Line Area (those in possession of the Blue Media) but who wish to interview the winners, will be allowed into the Secondary Finish Line Area and Media Tent for interview.
Blue media : All area and primary finish line - Red media : All area and secondary finish line - Green media : Only the secondary finish line
No photographic company and/or photographer will be permitted to sell or distribute photos to athletes. FinisherPix, the official athlete photograph service to IRONMAN, reserves the sole right to sell images to athletes.

Know your climates and zones
We hear about the USDA hardiness zones and most garden centers sell plants with tags clearly marking which zone the plant is best suited for. With few exceptions, gardening success is vitally linked to selecting plants that suit your climate. Our area hardiness zones are Zone 8 and Zone 9.
If you want a low maintenance garden, stick with plants for your zone. But that being said, you can cheat the zones a little. It might be interesting to expand your plant palette and push the limits by creating microclimates.
The USDA zones work on the principle of flat, open, uniform landscapes. But few yards are completely flat and open, and that's a good thing for gardeners. Look for slopes, depressions, trees, ponds, driveways and other landscape features that affect growing conditions in your yard. These little microclimate areas are naturally warmer or cooler or dryer that would be expected in your zone.
A windbreak such as a fence, wall, hedge or berm of earth can make a windbreak. Plants that are a little cold sensitive might be happy in your windbreak even when the temperature in the other part of your yard drops.
The opposite idea of a windbreak is a wind tunnel that can be created to improve cross-ventilation by opening up the sides of a garden area and capturing prevailing winds. Open basket weave brickwork on courtyard walls improves air circulation in a yard. Locating a pool, pond or splashing fountain upwind cools the breezes even more.
In addition, the interesting concept of rain shadows creates a microclimate. A rain shadow is an area beneath a deck or beneath the eaves of a house. A rain shadow area gets less water than surrounding sections of your yard. The area inside the drip line of a tree with a dense canopy is a rain shadow. More drought tolerant plants can have success in a rain shadow even when it is pouring on a regular basis in the other parts of your yard.
So push the limits a little bit if you want to experiment. Also, keep in mind that new heat or cold tolerant cultivars and species come on the market each year. If you see a new choice, check its label. It might be worth a try.

Pau d'Arco Bark (Tabebuia impetiginosa)
Pau d'Arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa) is an evergreen tree that is native to Paraguay, Brazil and also to Argentina. This magnificent tree can grow to as high as 25 feet and has beautiful flowers that actually resemble minute little trumpets. The Pau d'Arco bark is the most commonly used part of the tree for medicinal and therapeutic purposes.
The Pau d'Arco can be called Lapacho or Pink Trumpet Tree. The Pau d'Arco bark has many medicinal properties and is a rich source of powerful antioxidants as well.
History and Origin
The Pau d'Arco tree and the Pau d'Arco bark's medicinal use dates back to the time of the Incas. The tribes of the South American rainforests call this tree 'Tajy' which means 'The Divine Tree'. Due to the many uses of the wood, bark, leaves and roots of the Pau d'Arco, it has been highly regarded as a tree of life for the rainforest.
Ancient Uses
South American tribes used Pau d'Arco bark both internally to cure many diseases and externally as a poultice and topical remedy for various wounds and boils. The Pau d'Arco bark was used to reduce a fever, and treat various infections and upper respiratory disorders. Some tribes would use the Pau d'Arco bark for life threatening diseases, such as cancer and leprosy.
Modern Uses
The common modern use of the Pau d'Arco bark is related to its high antioxidant properties. It is a powerful antibiotic that is useful in viral infections such as the common cold and the flu. It is also useful in fungal infections and many other diseases of the gastro intestinal tract. Many experts have also discovered that Pau d'Arco bark contains anti inflammatory properties that can relieve pain and swelling in joints for arthritis suffering patients. Having a high antioxidant content also adds to the anti aging treatment of this fantastic herbal remedy.
The anti cancer properties of the Pau d'Arco bark is not yet determined although many herbal enthusiasts advice that Pau d'Arco supplements can significantly lower your risk of developing cancer.
Aside from cancer, however it is also believed to significantly treat skin conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis. It was also reported to treat sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis and gonorrhea.
In preparing Pau d'Arco bark for medicinal purposes, it is recommended to be taken as a decoction and not as a tea since it will not be equally effective. The Pau d'Arco bark decoction is also used as a douche for vaginal infections that is used regularly until the condition subsides. It may also be used topically for fungal infections of the skin.
Side Effects
Minor side effects of the Pau d'Arco bark include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. If minor side effects persist while using Pau d'Arco bark decoction, lower the dose or ask your naturopathic doctor regarding the best formulation for the treatment of your particular ailment.
Adverse reactions of Pau d'Arco bark with medications have not been significantly reported. Again, ask your doctor or herbalist for advice regarding adverse any possible drug reactions with your medication and Pau d'Arco bark preparations.

As anyone who has started to learn about personal finance knows, one of the cornerstone ideas is "pay yourself first." Paying yourself first is a simple concept, but many people find it hard at first to make putting money into savings a priority. Saving money sounds like a good idea, but there is always a chair that needs to be replaced, new shoes for junior or just one more DVD to add to the collection. So how can you make saving a habit? It's a trick question – you don't have to make it a habit, you have to make it automatic. If you make your savings automatic, you never have to work on developing the habit. The habit will grow naturally once you see how easy it is.
So how do you make savings automatic? Here are 9 painless ways to do it.
- 401(k): If you work for a company, chances are they offer a 401(k); if you work for an educational institution, a hospital, a church, or a non-profit they probably offer a 403(b), and state and local government workers can invest in 457 plans. All of these plans generally offer the worker a chance to invest their wages, pre-tax, into their choice of a selection of investment options – usually mutual funds. Most plans ask the employee to set an amount or a percentage to be withdrawn every month. A 401(k) or similar plan is the single best way to make savings automatic. The contribution is not taxed and taxes are never paid on any amounts in the account. In fact, until you retire you will never pay taxes. The money is taken out before you ever even see it – so there is no temptation to cheat 'just this once.' Best of all, many employers match some of your contribution with a contribution of their own into your account!
- Automatically withdraw money to a savings fund: After you have contributed enough to your 401(k) plan to meet your employer's matching limit (and more, if you can afford it) you should set up an automatic withdrawal from your checking account to a savings account. Popular options for savings accounts are high-yield accounts at ING and HSBC, currently offering rates around 5%. Both will allow you to set up automatic withdrawals from your checking account directly into your savings account, where it can earn interest. You can set up the withdrawal date to be the day after your paycheck arrives, so you will not be tempted to spend that money on something else. Once the money is in the savings account, it's out of sight, out of mind and growing rapidly thanks to the miracle of compound interest! Best of all, you can use this as an emergency fund – but only for true emergencies.
- Direct deposit your paycheck to separate accounts: If your employer allows you to have direct deposit for your paycheck, take advantage of it. Most banks will waive monthly fees if you set up direct deposit, and if you can directly deposit to multiple accounts automatic savings become even easier. Set up two checking accounts – one for monthly expenses and one for irregular expenses. Those irregular expenses can be for any of those expenses that come up on a monthly basis that were unexpected but not really a true emergency. Maybe the tires on the car were worn, or junior broke a window playing ball. If you estimate your regular monthly expenses and have just enough money going in your 'main' checking account, you can take money out of the irregular expenses account without having to worry about paying the electric bill.
- Drop a penny (or a quarter) in your change jar: Keep a change jar right by the front door. Every day when you come home, throw any loose change in here. Once it fills up, take it to your local bank and deposit it in your savings. If that is too much trouble, take it to a CoinStar machine (usually at your local supermarket) and get an amazon.com gift certificate and use it to buy something useful – amazon sells many household items like CFLs and dishwashing detergent.
- Always use a credit card with rewards: This is a little more controversial, but if you have a good cash back rewards card, use exactly one credit card for every purchase you make, but pay it off in full each month! If you are the type of person who lets their credit card slip out of their wallet and into the department store's credit card swiper by accident, I suggest you skip this step! However, if you charge $500 a month on a 1% cash back card, you can earn another $60 a year – for nothing!
- Pre-pay your mortgage: If you own a house, even adding a tiny extra principal payment can shave months or years off the length of the mortgage and save you thousands of dollars in interest. Do not let small amounts discourage you – even an extra $25 per month can save thousands in interest over the life of your mortgage.
- Reinvest dividends: If you own mutual funds or stocks you can request that dividends be reinvested. That means that whenever a dividend is issued, it is immediately used to buy more shares of that fund/stock. You never touch the money so the temptation to spend your "windfall" dividend is taken away!
- Adjust your withholding: You may enjoy getting a big tax refund every year, but if you do you have lent Uncle Sam that money for the year, interest-free. Adjust your withholding to ensure that you have as small a refund as possible. If you get a refund, the IRS gives you the option to have it direct deposited – send it to your high-yield savings account, not your checking account!
- Take advantage of FSAs: Some companies offer flexible spending accounts. A Flexible Spending Account, or FSA, is a tax-advantaged account that allows individuals to set aside portions of their earned income for public transportation, parking, dependent care and the most common type, health care expenses. Simply put, you set aside an amount you choose, pre-tax, each month in a pre-funded account and then withdraw it when you need it. You save money by taking the amount out pre-tax and putting it in an account where it can only be used for a set purpose like health care expenses. Once it is in the account, there is no way to get it back out and use it for an iPhone!
Remember: make your savings automatic and paying yourself first will become second nature!

Halogen Free
Halogens are a group of six chemical elements. The substances Fluorine, Bromine and Chlorine are relevant for electromechanical products, the other three elements (Iodine, Astatine, Unuseptium) are insignifant for technical applications.
Especially in the case of fire, Bromine and Chlorine may form corrosive and/or toxic compounds. For this reason, the demand for halogen-free technology is increasing. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines halogen-free on the basis of Chlorine and Bromine (standard IEC 61249-2-21). Products are declared halogen-free if the following limits are met:
• 900 ppm Chlorine
• 900 ppm Bromine
• 1,500 ppm total halogens
SCHURTER strives to provide customers with halogen-free products. Halogens are mainly used as a flame retardant in plastics. Therefore, SCHURTER employs - wherever possible - plastics without halogenated flame retardants which offer comparable protection. SCHURTER uses additional materials which also contain halogens such as flux, adhesives, and lacquer. However, these substances are present in small quantities only and do not result in halogen content of the final product reaching critical limits.

Holder: Yep, Obama could kill Americans on U.S. soil | The Ticket - Yahoo! News
President Barack Obama has the legal authority to unleash deadly forcesuch as drone strikesagainst Americans on U.S. soil without first putting them on trial, Attorney General Eric Holder wrote in a letter released Tuesday.But Holder, writing to Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, underlined that Obama has no intention of targeting his fellow citizens with unmanned aerial vehicles and would do so only if facing an extraordinary circumstance.
Paul had asked the Obama administration on Feb. 20 whether the president "has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil and without trial." On Tuesday, he denounced Holder's response as frightening and an affront to the Constitutional due process rights of all Americans.
The U.S. government has not carried out drone strikes in the United States and has no intention of doing so, Holder assured Paul in the March 4, 2013 letter. The attorney general also underlined that we reject the use of military force where well-established law enforcement authorities in this country provide the best means for incapacitating a terrorist threat.
Holder added: The question you have posed is therefore entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no President will ever have to confront."
But "it is possible, I suppose to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States," Holder said. "For example, the President could conceivably have no choice but to authorize the military to use such force if necessary to protect the homeland in the circumstances of a catastrophic attack like Pearl Harbor or 9/11.
Were such an emergency to arise, I would examine the particular facts and circumstances before advising the President on the scope of this authority, said Holder.
Paul, whose office released the letter, denounced the attorney generals comments.
"The U.S. Attorney General's refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes on American citizens and on American soil is more than frighteningit is an affront the Constitutional due process rights of all Americans," the senator said in a statement.
The exchange came as the White House agreed to give Senate Intelligence Committee members access to all of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel opinions justifying Obama's expanded campaign of targeted assassination of suspected terrorists overseas, including American citizens. Some lawmakers had warned they would try to block top Obama counterterrorism adviser John Brennan's nomination to head the CIA unless they were able to see the memos.
A few hours after the White House agreed to share the information, the committee approved Brennan 12-3, setting the stage for a full Senate vote.
Obama's drone warrelatively popular at home, reviled across the Muslim worldhas drawn fresh scrutiny ever since NBC News obtained and published a Justice Department memo that lays out the legal justification behind it. The White House has defended the policy as necessary, ethical and wise. But civil liberties champions have sharply criticized it.

Kevin Bromley is in his seventh season as an assistant coach on the UCSB staff.
Bromley served as the head coach at Cal Poly from 2001-09 and as an assistant beginning in 1995.
Bromley guided the Mustangs to their highest NCAA Division I victory total of 19 in the 2006-07 season. That same year, Cal Poly finished second in the Big West with a 9-5 record and advanced to the Big West Tournament championship game for the second time in school history. Bromley's squad also advanced to the title game in 2003.

Sunday's Quarterfinal Clash at Lambeau is Highest-Rated in 15 Years
NFL on FOX Postseason Ranks as Network's Most-Watched Ever
New York, NY - Sunday's highly-anticipated New York Giants and Green Bay Packers battle for a spot in the NFC Championship Game was one for the record-books, scoring FOX the most-watched Divisional Playoff Game ever on any network, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Over 45.1 million fans tuned in as Eli Manning led the Giants past the defending Super Bowl champion Packers, securing them a trip to San Francisco to face the 49ers for the NFC crown. In addition to being the most-watched Divisional Playoff Game ever, the 25.3/42 fast-national household rating/share makes it the highest-rated Divisional Playoff Game on any network since 1997's Cowboys/Panthers game on FOX (27.6/49).
The rating for Sunday's late-window playoff game is +32% better than last year's 19.1/39 (32.5 million viewers) for Seahawks-Bears on FOX and +5% better than last year's late-window 24.2/42 (43.5 million) for Jets-Patriots on CBS. It's also the most-watched broadcast of any kind since Super Bowl XLV in February.
Sunday's game opened with a 21.8/40 and 37.3 million viewers at the 4:39 PM ET kick-off and grew steadily throughout the broadcast peaking to a 27.5/44 rating/share and averaging 49.9 million viewers from 7:00 - 7:30 PM ET as the Giants took a commanding lead in the fourth quarter.
Through three telecasts, the 2012 NFC PLAYOFFS on FOX are averaging 21.2/39 (36.5 million viewers), +9% better than last year's 19.4/35 (34.2 million viewers). This season's NFL on FOX playoff coverage ranks as the network's highest-rated since 1997 (21.5/44) and most-watched ever according to Nielsen Media Research.
Milwaukee led all markets with a 53.3/76. New York averaged a 33.4/53, the highest-rating ever in the Big Apple for an NFL Playoff Game on FOX (excluding the Super Bowl).
The top five non-home markets include Norfolk 35.6/50, Minneapolis 33.8/57, Providence 32.5/49, Chicago 31.4/51 and Las Vegas 31.0/53. The West Coast tuned in to see who the 49ers would face for the NFC crown with the San Francisco posting a 26.2/58 and Los Angeles a 22.3/44. Patriots' country was also watching with Boston notching a 27.9/44 rating/share.

Post subject: Favorite menu
This is the how to for the favorites menu. By default macpup doesn't have anything in the favorites menu cause that for your stuff. Open the settings panel,go to the applications tab and click on Favorite Applications. Then set things up just like the ibar.Pick what you want and set the order you want them and apply.
This will add the favorite applications to the main menu and also when you right click on the desktop.

Post subject: save icon
How to make a save icon on the ibar. When you run puppy with a pupsave file it will give you a save icon on the desktop so you can save when ever you need to .I use this a lot when I compile stuff and I wanted one for use on the ibar. This is how you make it. First you need some info. Open rox and look in /root/Choices/Rox-filer and open Puppypin as text. Look at the last line above </pinboard>.
I am running a macpupsave file on a usb flash drive and puppys save option is /usr/sbin/save2flash.Yours may be different. Close rox.
Next open the settings panel ,go to the application tab and click on new application. This will open the Desktop entry editor. And this is how I set it up.
If you dont know where the executable is click on the button with the three dots and you will be able to go look for it.
Then switch to the icon tab and give it a icon. Then apply. Then add it to the ibar .It will be in the applications list near the bottom.
This is the way you would add a application or script you made. The .desktop file this makes is in /root/.local/share/applications

Green with envy..
Actually, I`m thrilled for you dude, the success of the Macpup(s) has been amazing and well deserved..I, perhaps more than anyone realize and appreciate the time and talent you have put into this.. I am not minimizing Prit and everyone else...But dude, you must be obsessed...
.E-17 can be "frustrating" to build, at best..From the moment you saw E-17 on Puppy, you were hooked.. (Youtube)...
Havnt had a lot of testing time as of late but so far this one has had been superb..
The only incident I can think of was once when setting a window over the top bar, E crashed, but clicking "recover" brought it back up, but reverted several settings, including moving the bar to the bottom and changing some icons!!..Reseting everything has held up thru several reboots now and I believe that the glitch may have been my machine`s onboard video ..
Anyhow, the Gimp functions well so far, I havnt installed a browser, as I always use a shared browser from /mnt /home with all my frugal`s but my Opera 10.61 and FF 3.6 both run fine..
Oh, wait...one more oddity....the pager clicking thru to the desktop...
It has happened a couple of times, and was only fixed by restarting X..
Once again, I attribute it to my i810.. (very glitchy, and I havnt installed Xorg high yet as I always test OOTB at first...)
Still playing with itaskNG, I think I will have to update my vid drivers to get the most out of it.. Now on to Conky...
Be back...
Anyhow, great release...
Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

I stumbled across this if you ever are interested in the composite issue. Its only a forum discussion but gives some info about how the composite module works (apparently on top of evas). Im sure once the final (can it be, is this actually happening finally?) version comes out they will have caught the issue. btw if you ever need some help at all with anything e related Runtt i am quite obsessed with it and know it inside and out. a bit of the deeply techincal aspects of it confuse me but still if you ever need some help with anything let me know.

Thank you joel , very much. I have always wanted macpup to work with both xorg and (x)vesa. I dont really like giving it features that are xorg only. So I will probably drop it from the next macpup.But Itaskng is fixable.(even though it really isn't broken
Puppyluvr this e thing is all your fault.
And look Distrowatch just updated. Cool....

Quick report:
I downloaded Opera, & then Firefox from http://www.diddywahdiddy.net/LupuNews/ but neither one would install with the usual method of just clicking on the pet. Finally downloaded Chromium with the Puppy Package Manager and that worked. All of your themes installed and worked by simply downloading them and clicking on the pets. (Very nice themes!)
BTW, does Macpup contain Shinobar's PPOE fix? I don't use that function, but if I'm going to give CDs of Macpup away, I want them to always work.

Iron and opera both installed for me (using opera right now) The only strange thing was that after installing opera is said the menu entry was in utility and it wasn't .It was in internet where it is suppose to be .Ill take the .pet apart and look at it later But it is working.
The Macpup-511.sfs is a rebuild of the lupu-511.sfs ,it's not a remaster.All of the apps on the puppy side are exactly the same as lupu's . If lupu doesn't have it ,This macpup doesn't have it either.

I need to comment on something that has happened elsewhere on the forum.This is my build of e17 .I built it for this project,Macpup.I have put a lot of time into this pup and the whole project. I really dont appreciate someone trying to rip the guts out of it. People dont go and dismantle teenpup or tipsy or lighthousepup cause they want something.
Mu,Ttuuxxx & mick01 have all built versions of e before. Someone can get it from them without Jacking with my stuff.Macpup is Macpup.This one is built on lupu.It has all the same stuff as lupu.But it isn't lupu anymore.It's Macpup.Taking some files and links out isn't going to help.I am not saying anything else about this.

Subject description: screen issues
@ runtt21
Hiya, still persevering here, Okay, this time i ran the live CD, (& just let it run it's course
it booted to the desktop, everything working, internet connected, no screen blackouts, no flickering, played with it all afternoon, installed Chrome, still no probs, seemed rock solid ..... So i installed to USB Flash Drive, rebooted, perfect ( i thought ) did some stuff, installed Chrome again, changed theme to your "Bling" one, still no screen probs, So i shutdown, the using your button on the Ibar ( to be safe) but the screen went black & just hung there, doing nothing........so i Re-started & up came the welcome screen etc etc etc ..... So nought is saved, i can't make a save file, ( although i thought that installing to a usb flash drive, i may not need one ........ yeah yeah i'm an ijittt
So what i need to know is, as this happens with the new lupu ( in progress) but didn't happen with lupu 5.10, nor did it happen with your last version of Macpup e17, on pup 4.3 (i think) ?? ... The comp is obviously waiting some input as to where or wether i wanna make a pupsave, but i just can't see it !!!!
Is it poss for me to somehow make a pupsave, without having to click restart or shutdown ... .... Exiting to Commandline is no better either, ( although i occasionally get a "monitor out of range" message )
P.S. thanks anyway, even if you can't help me outa this one, (from the 3 hours i spent on it this afternoon, it is absolutely fantastic)

Using the "high" xorg driver with the radeon card that is in this. REALLY sharp. I am wondering how to get that transparent dock two posts up:-) It looks a lot like "docky"

I 've been testing Macpup 511 since it was released. I ran it live with virtualbox, made some installs (Lampp, Joomla, Firefox, Gimp) and rebuilt the iso. Then I did an usb install and I created a 1 Gb save file.
Later I installed flashplayer, customize the desktop (icons, wallpaper, selves, gadgets).
Everything has gone fine.
Now I have added the save2file button and I'm setting up Conky.
I send you a capture running on an Acer Aspire One ZG5.
All I want to say is a BIG thank you for sharing this great piece of software.

Thank you very much everyone for all your support. I do appreciate it a lot!!
@jeffmitch Yes you should be able to make a save file with 5.10 and set it up for macpup to use.Let me think about it a while before you try it. But first I want to to try something. Boot up the live cd.Don't add anything. Let it run for a few minutes and reboot. See if it will save now.I have seen reports that sometimes lupu wont make a svae file if you add stuff during the first run before rebooting.Try that first ,If not we will do something else.
@bwh1969 you already have a version of it.It is called Itask-ng But yours has reflections that dont really work right .I am fixing that.Read back through the thread I told puppyluvr how to use it. Once you set it up use the save icon before you shutdown. E might dump the settings when X exits.You could change the shelf to be transparent.
@txemijendrix Would you post how you set up Conky? I didn't think that would work.I know rokytnji was trying to do that.

Vikings Sign Former Texans Receiver
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have signed former Texans receiver Lestar Jean.
The team announced the signing Tuesday.
Jean is entering his fourth season. He joins a receiving corps that appears pretty well stocked with Greg Jennings, Cordarrelle Patterson, Jerome Simpson and Jarius Wright.
The 6-foot-3 receiver spent his rookie season in 2011 on injured reserve. He caught 10 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown in 27 games for the Texans over the last two seasons.
Jean played at Florida Atlantic and was not drafted.

Commerce Server Staging
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
Commerce Server Staging (CSS), a feature of Commerce Server 2007 Enterprise Edition, reliably moves Web site assets in and across different environments, such as new Web pages or Marketing campaigns, from test environments to production environments. CSS publishes the updates that software developers, Web developers, site authors, business users, sales managers, customer service representatives, and other users involved in creating and maintaining a retail Web site make.
The following figure shows how you can use CSS to stage projects (files and data) between different servers and environments.
CSS saves you time by providing a standard method of deploying content from one directory to another. You can deploy content between directories on a single server, or from one source server to one or more destination servers. You configure staging projects one time, and then set an automated schedule for them, or run them on-demand. This simplification in the staging process eliminates the need for you to create custom deployment configurations, and think of manual methods of copying files from one location to another.
CSS also supports deployments over a wide-area network (WAN).
CSS is not a tool for testing Web site functionality or for authoring content and Web pages.
CSS does not support Unicode characters for configuration values, such as paths, project names, route names, and user names and passwords. You must use ASCII characters in CSS.
While Windows Server supports file paths of up to 259 characters, CSS does not stage file paths longer than 255 characters, including the file name extension.
You must specify absolute paths for staging projects in CSS; CSS does not support canonical file paths.
You may experience unexpected behavior if you stage files with long file names mapped to short file names.
