Someone who I follow on twitter posted a tweet recently with a link to a free eBook on PowerShell. I have forgotten who posted the link, sorry. I followed the link and downloaded the book. I have been 'learning' PowerShell for a little while, from various sources and I thought I would try out this eBook too. It is written by Dr Tobias Weltner a PowerShell MVP. I've only read a couple of chapters but I think it is well worth a read if you are looking to use and learn PowerShell.
You can find the book here.
This is just a short post for a Friday.
Have a good weekend!


text: PROBLEM: The Department of Corrections in St. Louis, MO was having numerous complaints related to paint odor while they were painting their correctional facility. They were also having issues with keeping the cells and hallways unoccupied for extended lengths of time while the paint dried. This caused the relocation of inmates for periods up to 48 hours. In addition, the custom colors they were receiving from their local paint store were covering poorly and were mixed inconsistently. As a result, the painters had to apply multiple coats, which extended the duration of time the inmates were kept out of their cells. SOLUTION: A Rust-Oleum representative met with the maintenance supervisor and presented the line of Sierra Performance Coatings which feature zero volatile organic compounds, zero hazardous air pollutants, and no solvent odor. Sierra coatings also dry fast in 30 minutes and feature industrial-strength durability. A successful test with the Sierra coatings proved that this was the right product for the project. The facility is now able to move inmates back into their cells and other occupied areas much faster and the maintenance supervisor has not received any complaints about paint odor.

Struggling to find the best buy-to-let mortgage in Stevenage? speak to one of our buy to let mortgage advisers today
The term 'buy to let' generally refers to either the practice of buying a property to be let for profit or to the type of mortgages used to purchase a property for such letting. Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
Rental Property Management | Letting Agent Or Self Manage Your Investment Property | Buy To Let
Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in Stevenage the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords looking for quality mortgage advice, this is why mortgage brokers in Stevenage who specialise in Buy-to-let are so important and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
Stevenage Buy to let mortgages have been available in the UK since the mid-nineties and they are specifically designed for investors to borrow money to purchase property in the private rental sector. The amount that a prospective but to let investor can borrow is generally determined by the rental valuation of the property. The annual income for a rented property has to cover a certain percentage of the mortgage repayments, the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) states that landlords should seek to be able to obtain gross rent returns equivalent to between 130 per cent and 150 per cent of the rental property's mortgage repayments, this takes into account the surplus rent to cover costs of property maintenance and slack periods when the property may be vacant of tenants.
Stevenage Buy To Let Mortgages.
Some buy to let mortgage lenders in Stevenage will lend you a maximum sum based on a multiple of your salary (usually a multiple of three) plus a percentage of the forecast rental income on the property. So if your annual salary is said 30,000 Franks and the forecast rental income is 10,000 Franks they will lend you 95,000 Franks. Other mortgages, in addition to factoring in your salary, will include any existing loan commitments you have, and then apply what is known as the 'deduction rule'. This rule relates to the annual mortgage payments worked out at a pre-set level of interest.
Buy to let mortgage interest rates are generally fairly close to residential mortgage rates but will generally be slightly higher and typically charge higher fees. This is due to the fact that buy to let loans are considered by the financial sector to represent a greater risk than residential owner-occupier mortgages, and they generally are.
The Situation in the UK About Buy To Lets
The buy to let market literally 'exploded' in the Stevenage around the beginning of the millennium with rising property prices and the increasing availability of buy to let funding fueling a surge in would-be investors trying to cash in on the trend of the market. One reason for their popularity is the tax advantages that are available to the UK buy to let investors. Rental income is treated just like a salary by the Inland Revenue, and is therefore often taxed at 22% or even 40%. However, landlords are allowed to deduct costs from the taxable portion of their rental income, and these costs can include the interest of the buy to let mortgage repayments as well as maintenance costs on the property. These tax incentives made the buy to let market very attractive for both professional investors and amateurs looking to make the most out of their savings.
Would-Be Buy-to-let Investors
The market peaked around 2007 and now the market is saturated in many areas across the country with too many properties available to tenants. While buy to let is generally not a good idea for people who do not possess some extra budget there are a lot of remortgage deals which will fund a deposit for a home. If you are worried about losing money during void periods many companies will provide insurance which can deliver as much as six months mortgage payments in the event of a property in Stevenage remaining unoccupied.
You may still be lucky, and find a hotspot but you need to do your homework and the figures correctly. Buy to let trends differ from town to town and literally from street to street. Good advice for potential investors is to visit the local letting agents who should be able to tell you who is renting what at the moment so you can define your target audience. It could be students, young professionals or families, for example. Look for areas that do have a shortage of properties and for indicators that people will move there, such as new business developments.
Buy to let mortgage deals are still rife and the rates are almost as competitive as with conventional deals. The mantra with your buy-to-let must be 'don't expect to get rich quickly'. You need to look long-term: an absolute minimum of five years – but probably nearer to ten years.
Hello and welcome to Property InvestmentsUK and today we're going to be looking at a couple of client questions.
This one inparticular is looking at what areas maybe they should focus on around the Manchesterarea, if they're looking at both capital growth and also rental yield.
The question is from Raj and it's, "Dear Rob,I watched some of your videos and thought they were quite thorough and very thoughtprovoking indeed.
" That's alright, thanks Raj.
"I am looking to invest for yields andcapital gains in England.
Since house prices in London have soared, I started looking atthe Manchester area.
My budget is just below 200,000 pound in cash.
Would appreciate someadvice.
Thank you.
Best, Raj.
" Okay, perfect.
There's a few things to consider,Raj, in terms of which locations or what areas of Manchester you should consider.
For a budgetfor 200,000 pound, that's quite a healthy budget.
You'll get a lot of rentin the Manchester location for that, so what I'd probably suggest is instead of just thinkingon the headline amount is to look a little bit deeper in terms of what rental yieldsor what return, what cash flow, you're looking to achieve in the property.
Also, the trade-offthere for is what kind of capital growth you're potentially aiming for with the property aswell.
I can then guide you some more on giving youa bit of an idea in terms of what locations might fit, so if you're looking for a rentalyield of, say, 8%, there are only certain locations around Manchester that are goingto fit that criteria.
Likewise, if you're looking for a particular tenant profile, ifthat's working tenants or a local housing allowance tenants, or maybe students,again there will be locations or pockets around Manchester that will fit that criteria better.
So as a rough rule of thumb, South Manchesterat the moment is performing very well for capital growth and has performed very wellin the past as well and should continue to do that in the future, because a lot of reasonsbut there's investment going on in the area and with employment, business parks.
There'salso the metro-link, which is going through south Manchester at the moment and a few otherareas as well.
The yields, though, in south Manchester currently are only about 6, 6-1/2%.
When you compare that to other locations around Manchester, you might get 7, 7-1/2, even 8%plus in other locations.
It's important to try to strike that balance between growthand yields.
In south Manchester, you'll probably get more capital growth in the next 5 to 10years than in some of those higher yield, lower value locations around Manchester.
It's a case of trying to sit down initially,work out your kind of individual aims and goals.
What's your priority, whether that'scash flow and income coming in on a monthly basis, in which case yields are probably goingto be a bit more of a priority, or alternatively, if your potential is pension plan, growth,then maybe capital growth is an area you should be focusing on more and south Manchester mightbe a better location.
If yields are your target, then probably maybethe east, north and also west of Manchester are going to give you the slightly higheryields, so see which is most preferable for yourself, Raj, and then kind of look at theareas around there.
There's lots of other links that we can introduce you to at thebottom of this video as well which will show you how to work out the yields in the differentlocations across Manchester.
Also, how to check out which areas that may be performingbetter in growth and property prices as well.
Look to those in the videos, but hopefullyyou found that helpful.

Buy To Let Deal of The Week
Rental property management - should you usea letting agent or do it yourself? Managing your own rental property can sound appealingto some people when they first start out because they'll know they will save on the lettingagent fees.
But you should consider whats involved and be honest with yourself and thendecide whether property management is right for you.
I have 3 questions that you can ask yourselfto see if you have what it takes to be an effective property manager, coming up.
Hi I'm Andy Walker from monoperty.
Com whereI blog online about my journey as a property investor and landlord, sharing what worksfor me and what doesn't, to help you start or expand your property portfolio.
Now it's true, letting agents do not haveany special qualifications.
Anyone can act as a letting agent.
But what they do haveor should have, are these 3 key areas which you need to check and decide as to whetheryou can deliver them yourself.
Do You Have The Knowledge? Do you know all the steps you need to taketo comply with the law and protect your asset? For example, securing the tenants depositin a Deposit Protection Scheme, checking that prospective tenants are eligible under theRight To Rent scheme if your letting in England.
And you need to be aware of any certificatesand any licensing for your area depending on the type of property and number of occupantsthat you will have.
A good letting agent will know the answers to all these questions andmore, and they will have systems that keep them update with both national and local lettingsrules.
Do You Have The Resources? For example tenancy agreements, guarantorforms, background checks for prospective tenants and membership with professional organisationsthat you can turn to for advice or if things go wrong.
As soon as the tenant moves into a property,they become the legal occupiers of that property.
And you don't want to give tenant's that legalright until you know that all background checks, contracts, deposits, and the first monthsrent is in place.
And the last question is, Do You Have TheTime? to run a rental property legally and effectively.
Are you willing and do you havethe time to take and respond to phone calls from your tenants at all hours of the dayand night? And can you handle co-ordinating all the maintenance? I think lots of inexperienced landlords makethe mistake of not putting value on their time.
They think they are saving money bymanaging their properties themselves, but they're not getting paid for the time thatthey're acting as a property manager they are simply just saving 5 - 12% on their income.
I would like to point out that if you do usea letting agent, you as the landlord are still responsible for the safety of your tenants,but by employing a professional agent, you will reduce the risk of anything going wrong.
There is risk associated with any type of investment, and I like to reduce that riskwas much as I can.
As a landlord, your aim is to provide an excellentservice to your customers, otherwise your customers are not going to stay for long.
If you don't have the time, knowledge or resources to serve your tenant, you will not be providinga good service.
If you have been able to answer yes to my questions and you have a passionfor property management, then brilliant, and I wish you all the best, but if your juststarting out, I don't want you to think that property management is easy and thatit's a good way of cutting back on costs.
Now, everything I have mentioned in this videocan be learnt.
So why not take one step at a time if your just starting out on your propertyinvesting journey? I was a landlord for over 8 years whilst I was in the Army and I useda letting agent because I didn't have the time to manage my properties.
But I pickedthings up during that time and got a feel for what was required to meet the standards.
Once I retired from the Army, I reviewed my situation and decided to continue using aletting agent but I dropped the maintenance services.
If any repairs are required, theagent will now contact me and I will decide whether I take it on or I give it back tothem.
Letting agents typically charge an administration fee for arranging any repairs or any maintenanceand issuing of any certificates so I decided to take that on and save on some of the costs.
Before I finish there is one piece of goodnews, and that is if you do use a letting agent, all their fees are tax deductible.
If you have any questions about property management,please leave a comment down below and if this is your first time visiting this channel definitelysubscribe so you won't miss any of my future videos that will all be geared towards helpingyou, start or improve your property business.
Thank you so much for watching, please likeand share this video if you found it useful and I will see you soon.
and you don't want to give tenants …….
argh! which you need to be aware of ….
no ….
argh! and … huh (exhale).

Growers need to be on the watch for seedling diseases in corn and soybeans. Damping off of the seedlings can be seen now, according to Alison Robertson, associate professor of plant pathology, Iowa State University. Damping off is a complex of pathogens that attack the seedlings, as shown in the photo. A corn seedling with damping off is on the right.
At Syngenta's Seedcare Plot Tour in Iowa, Robertson said she's seen damping-off problems in corn and soybean that have been caused by Pythium. Conditions during germination will determine what pathogens are involved in the damping-off problem, she added. Here are the most common pathogens and ideal conditions:
* Pythium with flooded soils and cool soil temperatures from 50 to 60°F.
* Phytophthora with flooded and warm soils with soil temperatures in the 70°F range.
* Fusarium with wet and cool soils with temperatures in the 50°F to 60°F range.
* Rhizoctonia with damp and wet soils and warm soil temperatures, 70°F to 80°F.
Other conditions that add to disease trouble, Robertson said, are planting soybeans early in no-till or reduced-till fields, a history of seedling diseases in the field, and poorly drained soils. Low seeding rates and lower germination also are risk factors for damping off.
Treatment for seedling diseases is a seed treatment fungicide. Robertson recommended that growers get the pathogen identified and then use a seed treatment on the crop in the field in the future.

It has been over a decade since the Miami Fusion disbanded and South Florida was left without a Major League Soccer franchise, but that could change soon thanks to international soccer legend David Beckham.
Beckham's 2007 contract with the LA Galaxy included a provision that would allow him to buy a new MLS franchise for $25 million, an unprecedented provision that could help bring the MLS back to Florida.
The 38-year-old Beckham announced his retirement in May, and visited a number of stadiums in South Florida last month with Bolivian billionaire and soccer club owner Marcelo Claure. The two toured Sun Life Stadium, and FIU's football stadium, and also met with numerous local politicians (including Miami-Dade mayor Carlos Gimenez and county commissioner Jose Diaz).
U.S. & World
Beckham told UK paper The Sun that an official announcement regarding his plans is looming. "It will be in a few months maybe but it's important to get it right," he said.
"This is a big decision where I'll have my franchise and how I'm going to do it. It's something I'm excited about."
Florida used to have two MLS franchises, the Miami Fusion and Tampa Bay Mutiny. The Fusion played from 1998 through 2001 at Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, winning the Eastern Conference regular season title in 2001 as well as the Supporters' Sheild, given to the team with the highest point total.
But the Fusion and Mutiny both disbanded after the 2001 season, as the league contracted from 12 to 10 clubs due to poor attendence and insufficient corporate sponsorships. But MLS has grown in popularity in the intervening decade, helped by strong World Cup showings from the US Men's National Team and the continued growth of youth soccer in America.
MLS does not have any franchises in the southeast - the closest teams to Florida are the Houston Dynamo and DC United. In June, MLS executive vice president of communications Dan Courtemanche hinted at plans to expand into the southeast.
"We're going to start to formulate our plan for the future and potential growth for beyond 20 teams," Courtemanche told the Sun Sentinel in June. "We certainly believe that an MLS team could be very successful in both South Florida and Central Florida."

Killer serial: is ATA ready for the enterprise?
As serial ATA rolls out this year, the price will be compelling, but don't expect SCSI to disappear.
Here's what storage vendors want you to believe about serial ATA (SATA) technology: It's a faster, more reliable version of the standard parallel ATA interface. It will eventually replace the older technology, and it's breathlessly awaited by the storage community. That's about two-thirds right.
"Serial ATA will be the standard interface in two years or less," says John Monroe, a vice president at Gartner Inc., Stamford, CT. "We'll see the death of parallel ATA."
But "breathlessly awaited by storage managers?" When was the last time you ever heard of someone becoming breathless over a computer part? (Perhaps one that didn't work.)
"We're sold on SCSI, and we're not really looking to swap what's reliable for what's slower and unproven. Call me crazy, but if it ain't broke ..." says Rick Bauer, chief information officer at The Hill School, a private preparatory school in Pottstown, PA.
Monroe says that this attitude isn't unusual in an enterprise storage setting. Enterprise storage markets are the ideal definition of conservatism, says Monroe. "Change comes slowly to the glass house."
Storage managers in those environments are loathe to buy a pig in a poke, says Ted Vojnovich, network-attached storage (NAS) systems designer and architect at IBM Storage Systems Group in Tucson, AZ. "I've been on several different customer councils, and one of the things we run into talking about serial ATA is that the IT guys want to see that it has proven reliability. They want to make sure that it does prove to be as reliable as Fibre Channel or SCSI," he says.
Most products aren't on the market yet, or are very newly introduced. Seagate has its Barracuda drive, and companies such as Intel and 3ware have serial ATA RAID controller cards. But in general, serial ATA has been slow to hit the market. "I initially forecasted at least 200,000 drives delivered this year, and there's been nowhere near that," says Gartner's Monroe.
Trickling to market
No matter how long it takes the technology to trickle into the market, it will arrive eventually. And as disk drive manufacturers hit high speed with their production volume, big subsystem makers such as Dell, Compaq, and IBM will have a steady supply of serial ATA products to add to their products. It's clear that serial ATA will eventually have a significant impact on the storage market. The questions are: Where will it make its inroads, and what will this mean to storage managers?
The general wisdom is that serial ATA will start to broadly ramp up over the next year as Intel comes out with a chipset supporting serial ATA, and drive production reaches critical mass. Jason Ziller, a technology initiatives manager at Intel Corp. who chairs the serial ATA working group responsible for developing technical specifications, says he expects to see it first on high-end desktop units and low-end servers. "Serial ATA will ramp top to bottom in desktops but bottom to top in servers," he says.
Price will determine how fast serial ATA creeps into IS shops. Most experts agree that when serial ATA prices rival parallel ATA, serial ATA will take off. After all, faster and more reliable technology at the same price -- what's not to like?
"The whole disk drive market is driven by cents per megabyte and capacity," says Robert Cecil, Ph.D., the network director at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, a hospital in Cleveland, OH. "So if SATA comes in as a cheaper solution, it wins hands down - end of discussion."
IBM's Vojnovich says that most corporations start small. He expects first deployments to be in a specialty application or a remote office "to see if it has legs." This translates into lower-end departmental-level NAS or server platforms, he says. "This would be the guy with a fair amount of disk, but not data center amounts."
Once serial ATA gains a toehold at the low-end, the big question is whether its price/performance trade-offs will render it acceptable for high-end storage systems. "Arguments are intense as to how far up the storage food chain serial ATA will go," says Gartner's Monroe.
Most industry experts expect to see it first in low-end enterprise-class subsystems. For example, Zambeel Inc. will be rolling out a serial ATA version of its enterprise NAS system early next year, says Karl Schubert, the senior vice president of engineering at the Fremont, CA-based storage manufacturer. In fact, Schubert expects to see serial ATA in fairly high-level systems. "SCSI and Fibre Channel don't have to be the only solutions," he says. "If what you're doing requires a high OLTP rate, you'll use Fibre Channel. But the actual number of applications and quantity of disks for uses like that is relatively small, compared with the amount of data kept as file data and used for normal applications."
There, he says, serial ATA will do fine, particularly as the technology becomes seasoned. Schubert points out that similarly, parallel ATA was embraced by big companies such as Compaq and Dell as the technology became more reliable. "These guys went back to parallel ATA because of its price and value," he says.
SATA enables new applications
Serial ATA is a natural for disk-to-disk backup applications. Many experts expect to see serial ATA in what StorageTek calls the "mezzanine layer" of disk subsystems (i.e., above tape systems and below the very high-end storage systems).
Arun Taneja, a senior analyst at Enterprise Storage Group in Milford, MA, sees this storage niche booming in the near future. "We have a tsunami of new types of data that needs to be stored in different ways than transactional data," he says. New laws require Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) and financial services data to be stored online, and recoverability needs to be in seconds, not days.
"A scenario like that begs for serial ATA," says Scott Robinson, the chief technology officer at Datalink, a storage outsourcer based in Minneapolis, MN. "Subsystem serial ATA for most applications will provide all the performance you need for less money. There's almost no reason to use a higher performance, higher priced subsystem if you have serial ATA," he says.
"We expect to have serial ATA at close to a penny a megabyte by middle of next year, says Robinson. Compare that with today's typical midrange RAID systems based on Fibre Channel. They're typically three to five cents per megabyte. If you back up terabytes of data, that price differential can be pretty dramatic," he says.
Robinson takes it one step further, saying that disk-to-disk serial ATA will soon be cheap enough to rival tape cartridges. "By 2005, he says, "the per-megabyte cost of ATA disks will be close to converging on the cost of tape cartridges."
Steve Luning, the director of storage architecture and technology at Dell's Enterprise Systems Group agrees, saying many vendors will start enhancing disk-to-disk backup features to be more competitive with today's disk-to-tape backup. "Clearly, putting tape in a box and putting it off-site isn't something you do with disk," he says. But if you want to replicate data for safety, it might make more sense to use a serial ATA farm of disks than a tape library. Of course, disks offer incremental backups and random access.
Luning pushes the possibilities of serial ATA even further, to what he calls disposable or self-healing storage. Says Luning: "Because serial ATA is so cheap, we can ship storage arrays with a few extra drives in them."
He envisions one scenario with a shelf of 15 drives. "You package 15, but only offer 13 for use. Any time a disk fails just switch over to one of the extras." This becomes feasible when technology is cheaper than service costs. Luning says that Dell is working on figuring out the price point at which this scenario will work.
Compatibility issues
Much has been made of the fact that serial ATA isn't backwards compatible with parallel ATA or SCSI. But is this really a big deal? Not for Datalink's Robinson: "It's not compatible from a hardware connectivity perspective, but it will be compatible for software drivers written for parallel if you get an adapter card, and those are coming out as we speak."
"With an adapter in front of those drives, I don't see a lot of difference," says Zambeel's Schubert. "The attractiveness of serial ATA is still greater than the pain of incompatibility, he says, adding that the cost/benefit ratio is clearly in the right direction."
Others, however, point out some possible complications. Gartner's Monroe, for one, is skeptical that the resolution of the software issue is as simple as an adapter card, particularly on direct-attached storage (DAS). He says that the drive manufacturers all maintain thousands of lines of propriety microcode for each family of drives. "For one family of SCSI drives, Seagate may maintain 20 different versions of microcode to satisfy the various requirements of OEMs," he says. DAS systems are more likely than fabric-attached storage (FAS) to use this microcode to fine tune the drive characteristics with the peculiarities of the system. "It's going to be very hard to plug-and-play replacements in that kind of environment," Monroe says. "On the other hand, if you're connecting to FAS, it's going to be pretty easy to use serial ATA instead of SCSI internally on the other side of the subsystem."
Vojnovich raises another issue when he suggests that migrating data from SCSI to serial ATA drives could also present problems. When you migrate data from legacy systems, the issue becomes the intelligence that's managing the disk, he says.
"As far as old files on parallel ATA, there are tools to help move them over: mirroring, backing up to tape and restoring it to a new unit." The two technologies' similarities make migration a relatively simple matter. "But if somebody wanted to take data on SCSI and read all the blocks onto serial ATA, that would be somewhat of a challenge," he says. "The formats and protocols would be difficult to reconcile."
Whatever the difficulties, it's clear serial ATA drives will have a significant presence in the storage markets in the near future. Monroe predicts the technology will hold 30% of the enterprise market by 2005.
"As we come out of this bad economy, there will be a lot of pent-up demand, but not much budget," says Monroe. Storage budgets will be scrutinized far more closely. "Instead of one level of sign off, you might have five and if you're not proposing the least expensive option that will solve the problem, you'll have to prove why," he says.
Serial's selling points
Serial ATA has several technical improvements over parallel ATA:

Marty Tripes was a leading AMA motocross and Supercross rider of the 1970s and early 1980s. He will always be remembered for winning the Superbowl of Motocross at the Los Angeles Coliseum in July of 1972, just a few weeks after turning 16. That race was a seminal event in American motocross history and was considered the first true stadium Supercross race.
In all, Tripes won 11 AMA nationals during a career that spanned just over a decade. He also won the first United States 250cc Motocross Grand Prix at Unadilla in 1978 against Europe's best. His riding was described by motocross buffs as one of the most fluid and stylish in the history of the sport. Tripes made racing a motocross bike look effortless with his stand-up riding technique and he's often been described a one the sport's true natural riders. It's also notable that Tripes was perhaps the biggest rider to win AMA motocross and Supercross races, at 6'-1" tall and weighing over 200 pounds in his racing prime.
Tripes was born in San Diego on June 29, 1956. He grew up riding bicycles in what he described as the era that gave birth to BMX. As a kid, Tripes became a schoolyard legend for once launching himself and his bicycle and clearing 32 steps of the school's front entrance.
He first began riding motorcycles when his dad borrowed a 90cc Honda step-through for a family camping trip.
"It took a year for our neighbor to get his motorcycle back," Tripes joked.
He was about 9 when he attended one of Edison Dye's first motocross races in America in the San Diego area, featuring many of the best European motocross racers. That race made an indelible impression on Tripes.
"I thought those riders were Superman," Tripes remembers. Motocross World Champion Joel Robert was Tripes' childhood idol. He tried to emulate Robert's style on his mini-bike. Tripes' younger brother, Mike, also took up the sport and later became a leading motocross rider in California.
Tripes' natural talent on a motorcycle was first noticed when he asked a group of older riders if he could ride with them at a local motocross track. He hung with the older riders and one of them told Tripes' dad that he needed to get young Marty into racing. His first race, at age 12, wasn't a success however.
"I led into the first turn," Tripes recalls. "And the sound of all those motorcycles charging up behind me scared me to death and I pulled off the track."
It didn't take long for Tripes to overcome his fear on the track, however, and he quickly became a motocross prodigy. He developed into a talented rider at such a young age that he used a fake ID to enter his first professional race.
In the 1971 Denver Inter-AMA race, Tripes, who was just 14 at the time, raced to an amazing fourth overall, and first American finisher, against some of the best motocross racers in the world. His early pro career was cut short, however, when a follow competitor, who didn't like being beating by a 14-year-old, told the AMA about Tripes' real age. That incident cost Tripes his AMA license and he was suspended from all AMA-sanctioned races until he turned 16.
Tripes came back where he left off upon his return to racing. Just a few weeks after his 16th birthday, he shocked the motocross establishment with a dominating victory aboard a Yamaha in the inaugural Superbowl of Motocross in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The field at the Superbowl included a who's who of American motocross racers as well as many of Europe's best. It marked one of the most surprising victories in the annals of AMA racing and quickly launched Tripes into motocross superstardom.
He was the youngest rider to win an AMA national. In his rookie season, Tripes finished eighth in the Inter-AMA Series while racing a limited schedule. He was also the top-scoring American rider in the season-ending Trans-AMA race in Orange, California.
Tripes signed with Honda in 1973 and returned to the Coliseum and defended his Superbowl of Motocross victory. He also scored two wins in the AMA 250 National Motocross Championship and finished the year ranked sixth in that series.
In 1974, Tripes accepted an offer to ride with Husqvarna, but by this period the Swedish manufacturer that had helped launch motocross in America was seriously overmatched by the Japanese makers. Tripes struggled with inconsistent results. In spite of the bike's deficiencies, Tripes won a round of the 250 outdoor series in Mexico, New York. He switched to Can-Am late in the season and, against all odds, finished the season a very solid second in the AMA 250 National Motocross Championship.
The revolving door of manufacturers continued for Tripes. He signed with Bultaco in 1975 with mixed results. He finished 1975 ranked sixth in the AMA Supercross Series. By this time, Tripes was becoming discouraged with the rides he was being offered and he took a year off to enjoy life. Always an avid outdoorsman, Tripes enjoyed hunting, boating, camping and the unusual hobby of coyote calling.
He returned to racing full force in 1977 with the ill-fated Harley-Davidson motocross effort. He scored a couple of top-10 finishes in the Trans-AMA Series aboard the Harley, but the program was terminated at the end of the season.
Tripes re-signed with Honda in 1978 and had the best season of his career. He was one of the few riders who made the red-hot Bob Hannah look human that year. Tripes won two AMA Supercross races and eventually finished second in the series after challenging Hannah for the title all the way to the end of the season, until a transmission locked up on his bike in the second-to-last round. Also that year, Tripes took the win in the first-ever World Championship 250cc Motocross round held in America. Perhaps not as well known as his victory in the Superbowl of Motocross, many consider Tripes' victory at the 250cc USGP in Unadilla, in New Berlin, New York, as the biggest win of his career.
Tripes recalls the atmosphere at Unadilla that year.
"There were a ton of fans there and they were rowdy. They wanted to see the Americans beat the Europeans and we proved that day that our riders were the best in the world."
It was not only an intense atmosphere, but also perhaps one of the most intense motocross races ever in this country. Tripes' Honda teammate and area hero Jimmy Ellis, along with Tripes, set a torrid pace in the first moto and motored away from longtime GP competitor Hans Maisch.
"I just need a strong, mistake-free second moto and I could win this thing," Tripes said excitedly between motos to a reporter. "I've always dreamed of winning a GP, but I never thought it would be this year."
In the second moto, Tripes, full of adrenaline, sprinted away to a big early lead, but Bob Hannah, smarting from losing his front brake in the first moto, was charging through the field with a vengeance. He caught Tripes, who was in no mood to go wheel-to-wheel with the aggressive Hannah, especially since he was on his way to the overall victory.
He waved Hannah by then proceeded to plant his bike on the rear wheel of Hannah's Yamaha. Late in the moto, Tripes, who took a hard hit in a near crash in moto one, began developing leg cramps. At this point, Ellis, who himself was in bad condition from a large rock hitting him in the stomach, began closing in on Tripes. Both riders knew the overall victory hung in the balance of the combined time of the motos and both pushed their bodies past the point of exhaustion to try for the win.
In the end, Tripes finished second in the moto and was barely able to get off his bike. Ellis rolled past the finish line third and promptly fell over from sheer exhaustion. The timing was tabulated and it was announced Tripes had won the race by 7/10ths of a second. Ellis finished second overall and Hannah third, giving American riders an unexpected sweep of their home Grand Prix.
Tripes returned with Honda in 1979 and finished third to Hannah and Suzuki's Kent Howerton in the AMA 250 Motocross Championship. That year, Tripes won two nationals. His victory at the Red Bud National in Buchanan, Michigan, in July of that year would prove to be his final AMA national win.
Tripes returned with Yamaha in 1980. He still scored an occasional podium result and ended the year ranked eighth in AMA 250 Motocross and 10th in AMA Supercross. It would prove to be his final full season of professional racing.
After retirement from racing, Tripes became a pioneer in safety gear design in the paintball industry. He also runs a successful gourmet mushroom business that sells to grocery chains.

When tech guru and Linux fan Michael Larabel visited Valve yesterday, he promised more info and pics than simply saying Steam was coming to Linux. Looks like he's come through.
Larabel has posted images of Left 4 Dead 2 running natively on Linux, and says a release of Steam itself - likely in the form of a beta at first - should be later this year.
In addition to Left 4 Dead 2, selected because of its "stable code base", he says Valve will be bringing other titles to the platform as well.
We're still waiting to hear back from Valve for an official comment on the matter.

NC4K Fashion Show
EVENT DATE: Aug 03, 2012
DEADLINE TO GIVE: Aug 10, 2012
FUNDRAISER SET UP DEADLINE: Jul 01, 2012
Nellie's Catwalk for Kids (NC4K) was started back in 2006 by Nellie Krumlauf when she was 16 years old in the efforts of bringing childhood cancer to the forefront. The organization started off as just a summer fashion show wanting to get local kids and teens involved in helping make a magical difference. NC4K's mission is to actively help kids and teens and their families that are touched by cancer.
In 2007, Nellie's Catwalk for Kids was created and the first event was a summer fashion show because Nellie wanted to tie her passion to fashion. There were 25 kids and teens that modeled in the first fashion show held at Grand Host East in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Two hundred people were in attendance helping raise approximately $3,000!
We are hoping to raise $500,000 this summer through our events, ticket sales, and online fundraising page to help families with a child/teen battling cancer all across the nation by being there every step of the way to put gas in their tanks, food on their table, and smiles on their faces.
Save the date for the 6th Annual NC4K Fashion Show for Friday August 3rd, 2012 hosted at Ohio Dominican University. Pre-party with complimentary samples of food, cash bar, music, and silent auction start at 6:00pm. The fashion show will start at 7:30pm and feature all of our fabulous local models wanting to make a difference!
Tickets go on sale online June 1st for $25.00 each and will increase on July 1st for $30.00 each.
We hope to see you there!

Alberta's Super Fun, All You Can Eat, Buffet of Bacon, Pain and Suffering May 25th, Stony Plain AB
Courtesy of www.bikealberta.com
Over a hundred of Alberta's finest mountain bikers gathered for the tenth year of the showdown at Stony Plain, otherwise known as Evan and Mike's Super Fun, All You Can Eat, Buffet of Bacon, Pain and Suffering.
Held on the trails that twist their way around Fern and Harvey's mountain bike farm, the Bacon Buffet is known for its fast course which challenges riders both physically and mentally. The highlight of the course is an 80 meter climb nick-named 'Houffalize'. Much like its name sake in Belgium, the 'Houffalize' climb in Stony Plain is a straight shot up the side of a steep hill where spectators gather to support their favorite rider as they grit their teeth and put their legs to the test.
Joining in on the festivities this year was avid mountain biker and Rogers Sportsnet Commentator Jamie Thomas, who entertained fans as he interviewed riders struggling up the hill. Joined on the microphone by race organizers Evan Sherman and Mike Sarnecki, there was no shortage of commentary and jeering.
Alberta Mountain Bike Coordinator Roddi Lega was on hand at the top of the climb to ensure that riders received an ample amount of bacon as they passed through the feed zone. Lega commented "In all my years of racing, I've found that my body performs better when it you replenish it with holistic, all natural meat nutrients. My secret was never fancy Power Gels and performance drinks, but a couple of strips of bacon in the jersey pocket; it's all you'll ever need." While Lega's nutritional advice may be suspect, his enthusiasm wasn't and riders were seen grabbing for their bottles with strips of bacon still hanging from their mouth.
The racing got underway in the morning under the threat of rain as the first two waves of riders, consisting of the Sport, Novice and Youth fields. They battled hard for wins and upgrade points in less than ideal trail conditions. In the first race of the day the real story was 14 year old Felix Wilberg (CMC/Bow Cycle). Wilberg took the lead from the gun and never looked back. He seemed so comfortable out in front, against riders twice his age, that he took time to wheelie for the cameras including an ill-fated attempt at nose wheeling the entire main descent. (yes he crashed at the bottom, but did it ever look cool while it lasted) Felix was the class of the field and will definitely be one to watch in the upcoming years. Ty Williams (CMC/Bow Cycle) another young up and comer finished second and Simon Williams rolled in to claim third place. Jon Benskin (Hardcore Cycles) rode a great race for fourth place, on a borrowed bike no less. Benskin was pre-riding the day before the race and cracked his frame and unfortunately his shop didn't have any in his size. Luckily the ABA Road Coordinator Scott Kelly (and author of this rambling and non-senseical little race report) happened to be at the race helping mark the trails and leant him his bike for the race. Benskin commented that the wheels were a bit big and the frame was a bit small, but otherwise all went well (Jon; twenty niners are where it's at so you best get used to them now). Ed Garvin piloted his single-speed to fifth place.
The second wave of the day is always the youth start and in part because of the muddy conditions and longer than normal lap times, the race was shortened one lap. The standout rider was the Flying Frenchman Sameul Beaudoin (Juventus/RVC/Kona). Young Samuel gunned it from the line instantly established a gap. Beaudoin is also an accomplished road rider and recently podiumed in the Youth category at the Velocity Stage race. Beaudoin took the win in the Novice Youth Men while Kevin Stafford (United Cycle) rolled across the line first in the Sport Youth Men field. Emily De Frietas (bicisport) rode well to take the win in the Sport Women Youth field and Sara Witzke (Juventus/RVC/Kona) claimed first in Novice Youth Women.
Fortunately the rain never materialized and when the elite riders took to the course in the afternoon they did so under Sunny skies and light winds.
In the men's race, the riders went hard from the gun, with Jon Nutbrown (Ridley's Cycle) taking the holeshot and jumping out to the early lead. Right on his tail was the winner of the second stop of the ABA MTB series, Tim Heemskerk (United Cycle) and the series leader Shawn Bunnin (bicisport) By the first lap Heemskerk had caught and passed Nutbrown and established a comfortable lead. Nutbrown and Bunnin worked well together less than a minute back. Coming all the way from dead last after the start to sit comfortably in forth was Andre "If Andre Crashed In A Forest and Everyone Was There To Hear It, Does He Make A Sound" Sutton (Hardcore Bikes). This is the way the race would stay for the better part of the remaining four laps. Heemskerk never relinquished the lead and at one point even managed to give a short on the bike interview while ascending the Houffalize climb.
Entering into the final lap, the early efforts were beginning to take their toll and Nutbrown began to fall off the pace. Heemskerk retained a comfortable lead but Bunnin looked to be pulling closer, as Heemskerk came out of the forest to climb Houffalize for the final time the crowd looked to see how far back Bunnin would be, and to everyone's surprise it wasn't Bunnin but Andre Sutton who emerged from the woods in second. Sutton flew up the final climb as if it was the first time he rode it that day and charged hard for the line, finishing only 24 seconds behind Heemskerk. Less than a minute later Bunnin would cross the line. Following the race, Heemskerk commented that his strategy was to work hard enough to keep a comfortable gap over second and to make sure he kept an eye on Bunnin throughout the race. When Heemskerk looked back on the final lap and saw Sutton charging hard, he knew he really had to step on it. Bunnin had to finish second or better to keep the series lead and it was only in the final lap that his efforts began to show and Sutton was able to cap an amazing performance which saw him go from last place to almost taking the win.
In the Women's race Pepper Harlton (Juventus/RVC/Kona) took the lead from the start and never looked back. Following the race, Harlton commented that she'd been battling food poisoning all week and during the ladder half of the race it was all she could do to finish. Krysten Ong (Juventus/RVC/Kona) benefited from Harlton's misfortunes and was able to claw back time in the final two laps, but couldn't bring it back quite quick enough; Ong rolled across the line 31 seconds back.
After two events in the Greater Edmonton area, the Alberta Mountain Bike series heads south once more with a stop in Canmore for the Iron Lung XC in two weeks time. The Iron Lung will also see two new riders sporting the ABA leader plates as Bunnin's third place finish saw Heemskerk take the series lead. Harlton's win was good enough to take over the series lead from Mical Dyck who chose to contest the Mount Tremblant Canada Cup this weekend.
Some amazing photos were taken on the day:

VAT: Commission proposes new instrument for speedy response to fraud01 August 2012
by eub2 -- last modified 01 August 2012
The European Commission on 31 July adopted a proposal for a Quick Reaction Mechanism which would enable EU Member States to respond more swiftly and efficiently to VAT fraud.
How much is lost every year because of VAT fraud?
Although, due to the very nature of fraud, it is difficult to put a precise figure on VAT losses due to fraud, it is thought to be several billion euro
each year. In a study on the EU VAT gap, the Commission compared what Member States actually got in VAT receipts with what they could have expected. While this VAT gap covers more than just fraud (also legal avoidance and insolvencies), the study set the gap at €106.7 billion in 2006 within the EU-25. This represents an average of 12% of the net theoretical liability although several Member States were above 20%.
VAT fraud does not only affect the financial interests of the Member States and the EU. It also has an impact on honest businesses which find themselves unable to compete on a level playing field in those sectors which are affected by a significant amount of VAT fraud.
What has the Commission done to address the problem of VAT fraud?
In 2006 the Commission presented a Communication to launch an in depth discussion at EU level on the need for a co-ordinated approach in the fight against fiscal fraud in the internal market. In 2008, the Commission set out a coordinated strategy to improve the fight against VAT fraud in the EU. This Strategy included a series of targeted measures, including plans for legislative proposals (which have now all been put forward), and a longer-term reflection on how to fight the problem. One key element was to see how administrative cooperation between tax administrations could be improved, and to establish a network of national officials to detect and combat new cases of cross-border VAT fraud. This network – Eurofisc – is now operational and working to coordinate data exchange and establish an early warning mechanism against fraud.
What further measures to tackle VAT fraud does the Commission foresee?
In its Communication on the future of VAT, which it presented in December 2011, the Commission set out priority actions needed to create a simpler, more efficient and more robust VAT system in the EU. One of the overriding objectives for the new VAT system was to tackle VAT fraud more effectively, and a number of ideas were laid out on how to achieve this.
First, the Commission intends to monitor the full implementation of the above-mentioned Anti-Fraud Strategy, making sure that all instruments in place against fraud are functioning to full potential. It will examine ways to extend the automated access to information, and will assess whether anti-fraud mechanisms, such as Eurofisc, need to be strengthened. In 2014, it will report on whether further action is needed to strengthen or complement these measures.
In addition, the Commission will embark on a number of new anti-fraud projects. The Quick Reaction Mechanism, proposed today, was one such initiative. In addition, the Commission launched the idea of setting up a EU cross border audit team composed of experts from national tax authorities to facilitate and improve multilateral controls.
As the success of any anti-fraud measure depends directly on the administrative capacity of the national tax authorities, the Commission will intensify its monitoring of the efficiency and effectiveness of the tax administrations of the Member States. In the Commission's Country Specific Recommendations for 2012, adopted by the Council in June, 10 Member States were told to improve tax compliance and collection. The Commission will also encourage the exchange of best practices in combating fraud in high risk sectors.
What is carousel fraud?
Carousel fraud is one of the most common types of large-scale VAT fraud schemes in the EU. Under EU legislation VAT on domestic sales is generally due by the seller while VAT on cross border sales is generally due by the purchasing
In carousel fraud schemes, fraudsters import goods to a Member State VAT-free, and then charge VAT to the buyers. The sellers then disappear without paying the tax to the authorities, while the buyers deduct the VAT they paid from their overall taxable income, thus creating a loss to public finances. It is called carousel fraud because there are usually a number of companies involved, each liable to VAT which goes unpaid, and the final buyer reclaims the VAT from the tax authorities before disappearing.
What is the "reverse charge mechanism"?
The reverse charge mechanism undermines the whole basis of carousel fraud, by switching the tax liability. Under this mechanism, the customer, rather than the supplier, is liable for VAT. The customer (if a taxable person) must report
and pay the VAT, and can deduct this VAT from their taxable income at the same time.

Hi again, I was working on another homework assignment and I got stuck trying to figure out why my program wasn't computing the right answer. The assignment was to basically write a program that computes the Sine function (as close as you possibly can) without using Math.sin(). I believe that my for loop in the original code is not doing the factorial for the right variable. I'm pretty sure the equation is right as well. I figured out the series needed to compute sin:
Sine = (-1.0^n)(x^(2n+1)) / (2n+1)!
Here's my original code:
/* This program is suppose to compute the Sine function without using Math.sin */ import java.io.*; public class HW5 { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { BufferedReader keybd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String s; double Rad, Sine; int MaxE, i; Rad = 0.0; System.out.println("Degrees (d)? or Radians (r)? Please enter (d) or (r): "); s = keybd.readLine(); s = s.toLowerCase(); s = s.trim(); if (s.equals("d")) { System.out.println("Enter a value (Degrees): "); Rad = Double.parseDouble(keybd.readLine()); Rad = (Math.PI * Rad) / 180; } else if (s.equals("r")) { System.out.println("Enter a value (Radians): "); Rad = Double.parseDouble(keybd.readLine()); } System.out.println("Enter the desired maximum exponent: "); MaxE = Integer.parseInt(keybd.readLine()); **************************************************************** i = (2 * MaxE) + 1; //This is where I think I messed and confused myself for (int a = 0; a <= MaxE; a++) { i = a * i; } Sine = ((Math.pow(-1.0,MaxE))*(Math.pow(Rad, i)) / i!); // I put the ! to indicate where I wanted the factorial to go System.out.println("The value of Sine is " + Sine); } }
My first problem was trying to figure out how to compute a factorial. I looked through the tutorials and found some code for recursive factorials but I couldn't get it to work. I ended up finding a code that I got to work but the problem is is that I'm not sure how I could incorporate it into my original code.
Factorial program:
import java.io.*; public class s { public static void main(String args[]) { try { BufferedReader object = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.println("Enter the number"); int a = Integer.parseInt(object.readLine()); int fact = 1; System.out.println("Factorial of " + a + ":"); for (int i = 1; i <= a; i++) { fact = fact * i; } System.out.println(fact); } catch (Exception e) {} } }
I apologize for this being so long but I'm not sure if my logic is right or not. Also, does java have a built in factorial method or did I have to make a loop for it? Any help is appreciated.

No vision of on-screen human evildoing is complete without a matching sinister car.
(In advance of the Jalopnik Film Festival we're doing a week of posts focused on cars and films.)
If absolute, over-the-top cartoon villainy is what you're after, it's hard to be the inimitable Hannibal 8 in The Great Race. The car is at the Peterson now, probably plotting the destruction of the world.
What do you think was the most evil, most outstanding, most amazing villain car or truck ever put on screen?

Client has had a site for over a year now which was performing greate, however the design was becoming somewhat out dated. This site is located at http://www.ottawageneralcontractors.com
To redesign the site, client insisted on copied most of the layout from http://www.klondikecontracting.com/ (he really likes the look of this site)
The design that came out of that process was not really professional, lacked many details and did a very poor job at converting visitors to clients. You can visit this at http://ogc003.test.webious.ca/
As a result, we are looking to redesign the site again as detailed below, the main change is addition of a form as a permanent fixture on every page, removal of the call to action button on the right edge of the screen. But I would also like to have the design refined, specially the spacing, font sizes, etc. while keeping the overall look and feel (the color red!)
Please follow the provided wireframe closely and checkout the other sites mentioned here. Note how the estimate form begins above the banner and ends after the banner.
The design should be flexible enough to be used for landing pages with minor modifications.
The attached PDF file provides further details on the requirements. The design should provide sample of various header styles, link styles, bullet styles, and a listing style.
The page is a generic page in the site
it will contain a rotating banner, a form (as described in the attached pdf)
the design of the page needs to include sample of header styles, links, bullets, and listings with thumbnails

Aurora Borealis
In the direction of the north wind live the manabai'wok (giants), of whom we have heard our old people tell. The manabai'wok are our friends, but we do not see them anymore. They are great hunters and fishermen, and whenever they are out with their torches to spear fish we know it, because then the sky is bright over the place where they are.

If this was Rex Ryan's home finale as the New York Jets' coach, his players made it a good one.
Geno Smith threw two touchdown passes to David Nelson and ran for another score as the Jets topped the Cleveland Browns 24-13 on Sunday.
With Ryan's job status uncertain, the Jets showed no signs of a team playing out the string. The players and coaches took a victory lap and high-fived fans after the game.
Smith had his first game with at least two TD passes since October, with no turnovers or sacks. The rookie was 20 of 36 for 214 yards and also ran for 48 yards — including a 17-yard scoring scamper in the fourth quarter.
Chris Ivory rushed for 109 yards on 20 carries for the Jets (7-8), who were eliminated from the playoff picture last week. Nelson, cut by the Browns after training camp, finished with four catches for 33 yards.
Jason Campbell was intercepted twice as the Browns (4-11) lost their sixth straight, and the offense was hurt with star tight end Jordan Cameron out with a concussion.
Edwin Baker had a touchdown run, and Josh Gordon was somewhat held in check by rookie Dee Milliner, catching six passes for 97 yards.
With the game tied at 10, Nelson got his second touchdown catch of the game on the second play of the fourth quarter, a 5-yarder. Smith last threw at least two touchdown passes at Atlanta in Week 5 — on Oct. 7.
Two plays after Baker's 2-yard touchdown run was nullified by a false start penalty on Gary Barnidge, Billy Cundiff kicked a 21-yard field goal to make it 17-13.
New York took control of the game with a drive of over 6 minutes capped by Smith zipping up the middle for a 17-yard touchdown, his fifth rushing score of the season, to make it 24-13 with 3:19 left. The Jets converted four third-down plays on the drive, including Smith's TD.
Ed Reed intercepted Campbell in the closing moments to seal the win for the Jets.
The Browns led 10-0 late in the first half, but it could have been more. Campbell threw three straight incompletions — the last two to Gordon — from the Jets 1 early in the second quarter to turn the ball over on downs.
Then the Jets scored twice in 78 seconds to tie the game. Nelson capped a 13-play drive by catching a 6-yard pass in the back of the end zone for his first touchdown with New York.
After the Browns went three-and-out, the Jets got the ball back with 34 seconds left. Bilal Powell ripped off a 39-yard run to put New York in Browns territory, followed by an 8-yard scramble by Smith.
Smith then took off again for an 11-yard gain and was shoved by Tashaun Gipson out of bounds — and the quarterback appeared to embellish it, dropping to the ground. The late hit angered the Jets' sideline, including a fired-up Ryan, and a few players on both sides shoved each other a bit. It ended up being an unnecessary roughness penalty on Gipson that put the ball at the 14.
After Kellen Winslow's 11-yard catch, Nick Folk kicked a 21-yarder as time expired.
The Jets couldn't take advantage of first-round pick Dee Milliner's first NFL interception midway through the third quarter as Folk hit the right upright on a 49-yard attempt, only his second miss of the season.
Smith's Arm, Legs Lead Jets Past Browns 24-13
The rookie quarterback had his first game with at least two TD passes since October and committed no turnovers
