You might be in high school or a student, heck you might even be 40 and working for a boss. The same thought has been keeping you awake for a week or two and finally after much contemplation you have made your decision. You are going to start Freelancing. Yes, you have made your decision, but now what? I was speaking to a friend of mine a while back and he said that he decided he wants to start freelancing, but has no idea where to start. I decided I will write this post to bring everyone up to date with what you should do once you have made the decision.
First of all, what is your freelance decision based on? If you are in High School or you are a Student its understandable, you want to make money. Once you have a family its different though, you have more responsibilities, bills to pay, people to feed. Is your decision based on, "not wanting to work for a boss?" It doesn't really matter, what matters is that you are pumped to start freelancing. Just before we get started, I just want to make sure you understand something clearly. Freelancing isn't easy, whoever said "freelancing is a breeze and you will be working much less," is an idiot. Yes, the difference is you decide when you want to work, but you have to do everything yourself. Anyway, lets get started.
Step 1 – Organize your Life
Image by Curiosmess
You might be thinking your life is organized, is it really? Do you have enough time in your day to sit down for a few hours and work on client projects? Wait, aren't you currently employed 9-5? That means your family isn't seeing much of you at all and when you get home at night the kids probably want to spend some time with you and perhaps your spouse too? Where has that time gone now?
Remember you can't neglect your family, yet you still want some time for yourself to get some extra work done right? How about you work out a schedule to start off with. If your a employed person you would probably get up at half past 6 or 7 in the morning, have some breakfast and then get ready for work and commute. What I propose is that you get up 2 or 3 hours earlier, simply because you will have peace and quiet in the house whilst the family sleeps and you will be able to get some work done. Yes, it won't be easy in the beginning, but if you are determined to make a success of your freelancing career this is where you have to start.
Remember once you go full out freelancer then your work times will change radically, believe me its worth it. Do you remember what I said in the beginning of this post? Freelancing isn't easy. The hardest part is getting started with this, but when you are on the move there is definitely no looking back.
Step 1 – Conclusion: Make sure you organize your life, get your priorities straight and put some effort into starting your freelance career. Don't push your family aside and remember it will only be temporary changes until you go full time.
Step 2 – Do not Quit your Job

Do not, I repeat DO NOT quit your job. You have to support your family and pay the bills, how are you going to be endorse them without money? You are just getting started with your freelancing career, do you even have a client yet? Have you received your first pay check as a freelancer? I guess not.
So quitting your job will be a real stupid move to say the least, you are going to have to build your freelance business in your spare time. Do you remember what I said in Step 1, "Organize your life." This is where that part comes into play, you are going to be running two jobs now and you have to work out how you will be managing that.
Now you might be wondering how you will know when the right time comes to quit your job. That answer is really simple, once you start earning enough money off your freelancing to support your family and pay your bills.
Step 2 – Conclusion: Don't QUIT your JOB. Keep building your business in your spare time, be committed.
Step 3 – Get Advice
Image by Digital Sextant
You might think this is a strange name for a step towards becoming a freelancer, well it definitely isn't. Have you thought about your job move from being employed to freelancing logically? You haven't because you are way to excited to get started than anything else. There are some important factors you are going to have to measure up and get advice on before making any moves.
Firstly, have you actually thought of how hard it is to be successful at freelancing? You don't have job security anymore, you can't just take out loans from the bank, because how can they be sure you will make any money next month? How will your medical aid work, your taxes. These are just a few things you have to get some advice on, preferably from someone that is working with these things everyday.
There are tons of information on the internet for you to research and remember Google is your friend, but there are just some things that you are going to have to sort out in person. Make sure you are covered and your family is too, when you finally make the transition.
Step 3 – Conclusion: Make sure you and your family are fully covered before making the full switch.
Step 4 – Physically getting started with Freelancing
Alright now that we have those simple points behind us we are going to be starting with the physical side of things. The things that you have been looking forward to this entire time.
Firstly you are going to have some work to show your potential clients before they will hire you. You won't hire a beggar to build garden sheds unless you have proof that he is actually capable of building would you? The same principle goes for designing or writing or anything as a matter of fact. You are going to have to build and setup a portfolio to promote your work.
Luckily for you there are quite a few exceptional portfolio platforms out there to make use of whilst you get on your feet as a freelancer. All of them have Job Forums as well, so whilst building your portfolio you could apply for different freelance jobs on the forums and build your portfolio whilst making money too.
Remember you want to attract clients, not scare them off. When creating your portfolio, make sure you showcase your best work. Yes, you can showcase all of your work if they are really great, but I would recommend only showing your best. It doesn't only attract the big guys, it could earn you features in showcases, magazines, exhibitions.
Step 4 – Conclusion: Setup a portfolio for yourself, displaying your best work. Make use of a portfolio platform whilst building your actual portfolio to earn extra income as well.
Step 5 – Establish a Brand Name
Image by Philipp Klinger
Now that you are busy building up your portfolio with some work you have to make a big decision. Are you going to brand yourself using your own name or are you going to brand yourself under a different name? That is your decision to make and I can't decide that for you.
I have some suggestions though, lets take a name like "Christiaan van Vuuren" Firstly I don't think most clients would be able to pronounce that so branding yourself with that name would be pointless. Before you job on my back let me tell you why. If you were to brand yourself as Christiaan van Vuuren, wouldn't that be quite a long domain name? "www.christiaanvanvuuren.com" yes it would, its kind of intimidating when you look at it. Now put that into perspective with something much simpler ex. Cvv Designs. I'm not saying that is optimal, but that is much shorter than christiaanvanvuuren.com wouldn't you say?
There are quite a few guys out their that use their own name for branding and have made a success out of it, something that does help though is if you have a short name. Remember you want to get noticed as a designer or writer and therefore you want to take part in the industry. Believe me it isn't that easy to find a name that you would like to work under, but putting the effort into finding one is more than worth it.
Step 5 – Conclusion: Find yourself a name to work under as a freelancer, either being your own or a unique brand name, keep it simple and fresh. Remember less is more.
This was Part 1 of the series, Part 2 is coming soon.

Great part 1 Jacques. I can't wait for part 2. Keep it up.
This is the truth about freelance job… Every freelancer get through this steps and says "This is the formula". And the most important is "Don't quit" and there's no two opinions.
Definitely agree with the idea of 'easing' into the freelance world. Building up a regular client rosta and relations with businesses in the area will definitely reduce the shock of being suddenly marooned in a world with no friends!

New DVDs
History comes to life with "Lincoln," leading Tuesday's DVD releases. Star ratings are by Seattle Times movie reviewers, freelancers or wire services. For full reviews, search the movie title at seattletimes.com. Release dates are subject to change.
"Lincoln" (PG-13): A peculiar, powerful alchemy takes hold in Steven Spielberg's masterful portrait of the 16th U.S. president. Through that strange mix of realism, artifice, intimacy and scope that cinema uniquely possesses, viewers find themselves transported to 19th-century Washington, D.C., where Abraham Lincoln — portrayed in an Oscar-winning performance by Daniel Day-Lewis — has just been re-elected to a second term. But instead of a grand tableau vivant that lays out the great man and his great deeds, Spielberg brings the leader and viewers down to ground level. Thus "Lincoln" gratifyingly dodges the kind of safe, starchy hagiography that some Spielberg skeptics feared.
Working from a dense, lively screenplay by playwright Tony Kushner (who last collaborated with Spielberg on "Munich"), Spielberg infuses "Lincoln" with energy, acumen, surprising humor and the unabashed affection for his subject that most Americans will wholly understand and probably share.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0141044667, Cards)Product Description
This is a collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a different and iconic Penguin book jacket. From classics to crime, here are over seventy years of quintessentially British design in one box. In 1935 Allen Lane stood on a platform at Exeter railway station, looking for a good book for the journey to London. His disappointment at the poor range of paperbacks on offer led him to found Penguin Books. The quality paperback had arrived. Declaring that 'good design is no more expensive than bad', Lane was adamant that his Penguin paperbacks should cost no more than a packet of cigarettes, but that they should always look distinctive. Ever since then, from their original - now world-famous - look featuring three bold horizontal stripes, through many different stylish, inventive and iconic cover designs, Penguin's paperback jackets have been a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture. And whether they're for classics, crime, reference or prize-winning novels, they still follow Allen Lane's original design mantra. Sometimes, you definitely should judge a book by its cover.

10 Reasons Why You Should See Every Movie with Emma Stone (Interview RE-mix)
I recently sat in on a call with Emma Stone, answering questions for her new movie "Easy A" where she hearkens back to her High School years. "That girl from Superbad" became "that girl with the hair in her eyes from Zombieland" and is now about to come "that girl in that movie with Phoebe!" Emma Stone is not your typical Hollywood actress. From her choice of parts to humbling attitude, she doesn't really spill out the "Lindsay Lohan" alcoholic vibe. In the call, I got to find out a little more about Zombieland 2, her motivation with drama, and her life as an 80s movie. (Sexiest pictures at the bottom) So I present to you 10 Reasons Why You Should See Every Movie with Emma Stone (Including Easy A)
10.) She has worked with Bill Murray – There's not much to say here. She now has it on her resume that she has worked beside one of the greatest comedy actors of all time, "Ghostbusters" All you have to say is "Ghostbusters" and everyone starts to sing that ridiculously catchy tune. Some people will never die, Bill Murray is one of them. Emma Stone is now connected to him directly, only awesome can come from that.
9.) She's not afraid to go indie – Paper Man is a film with Jeff Daniels, Emma Stone, and Ryan Reynolds. It is also a movie no one knew about. The three people who saw this film surely didn't see Zombieland, but Emma Stone was not afraid to take the step into the indie world. She brings the heat, she brings the indie, she brings the awkward witty comedy.
8.) She's not afraid to do drama – "The Master" (Pre-Production – rumored) and "The Help" (Filming) are two upcoming films to bring Emma Stone to the upper echelon of actresses. Can she really act? Can she bring more heat than Paper Man? "The Master" is supposedly a film staring her, Amanda Seyfried, and the sexy red-head vampire from True Blood (Deborah Ann Woll) versus Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (Any amazing movie you can think of). This huge dramatic production would be an even bigger launch for an actress who getting extremely far extremely quickly. I'm crossing my fingers for her to be a real actress unlike Michael Cera who plays… well… Michael Cera…
7.) She takes the High School Rom-Com to a new level – I have seen a lot of High School romantic comedies in my day and "Easy A" is one that takes the most basic formula from those classic 80s films and recreates it for todays audience. Referencing lots of other material while also being quick witted and keeping a blazingly fast pace, "Easy A" was one of the most fun comedies to come along in a while. If you take an 80s comedy and the wit of Superbad, roll it up into a ball and bake it in an oven with Emma Stone at 250 degrees for 90 minutes you get "Easy A." A movie that all of you guys should take your girlfriend to.
6.) She Makes Amanda Bynes look Fat – God Amanda Bynes looks fat in "Easy A" I went from thinking the "All That" success story was this knockout to thinking she looks kinda funky… (I do realize this has nothing to do with Emma Stone, but you should see "Easy A" just because of this. It's mindblowing looking at her)
5.) She did Zombieland. FREAKING ZOMBIELAND – Yeah… She did…. Commenting on Zombieland 2 Emma Stone said… "I don't know. We'll have to see. We'll have to see what's going to happen… I think we all loved making the movie and would love to see what happens next, especially in 3D." Zombieland 2 is pretty much good to go, all they need to do is line up a script, some 3D cameras, and get together all of their actors that are off doing other projects like Social Network. Reuben Fleischer the director is strongly confident that shooting with 3D cameras will help the films acceptance as a 3D film. He is against the post conversion process for the same reasons we all hated "The Last Airbender"
4.) She Loves Her some 80's movies – My one, and only, question to Miss Stone was about the many 80s references in the film and how they relate to her life. (Specifically John Cusack with a boom box over his head). She replied saying..
"All of those movies made me feel different about life. That was a big part of what I could relate to for my character because my Dad showed me those movies when I was very young. I mean Lloyd Dobbler – to know him is to love him. So, that Boom Box over the head has always been pretty iconic I think probably in all of our lives. I hope I'm not speaking for anybody who doesn't feel the same, buy why wouldn't you feel the same? And [all of] the John Hughes movies and all of those. I'm crazy about all of that, so yes. All of those had a very big influence on my life and the way I hope romance would go. I can definitely relate to her (Olive) wanting her life to be an 80's movie."
Her love of 80's films and her character in "Easy A" (Olive), wanting her life to be one creates a more iconic presence for her and for her character.
3.) Faking Sex is Fun – When asked what is the best way to fake sex Emma Stone said " There's a lot of angles here. I mean it depends on what you're going for, what kind of reaction you're looking to create but the yelling and the banging the wall and the jumping up and down all seems to work pretty well, in my experience. If you're going for something more subtle, I guess you could just make some rustling sounds, like throw something against the wall once or twice. Subtle, quiet but still—…… Go big or go home, that's what I say."
2.) She's Not afraid to take on 18th Century Literature "The Scarlet Letter" – When confronted with the question of redoing a classic tale she said… "Well, it's hard for me to tell you what Hester would have thought. It's just like we say in the movie, Hester decided to be silent about what was going on, and Olive is wildly outspoken and lying the entire time as well. Olive doesn't actually sleep with any of these people. It's kind of almost the reverse problem in a way, even though they're both being ostracized. So, it's very interesting……..
Another thing that I would just to say in terms of it being an updated Scarlet Letter, I think a big part of the Scarlet Letter's influence is in that idea where when you're young and you read something or you watch something, you kind of tend to apply it to your life. The first time you read a book that you really, really loved and you felt like you were that character or that character—finally, someone understood you. I think since she's reading that in class and she sees these kind of eerie similarities, I think it almost pushes her to go further with it because she's reading the book, but I don't know that it's necessarily an update of that story because their stories are so different to me."
1.) She totally hot – Below is a Gallery of Pictures of Emma Stone. She is worthy of your time just for her gorgeous looks.

- Price: TBA
- Official Site: SonyEricsson.com
- Specs: 2.6"; 240 x 320; 3.9 oz; MMS; SMS; 9-hrs talk time; 370-hrs standby
- Company: Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson made some impressive waves at the 2009 GSMA Mobile World Congress recently by announcing the new and impressive Ericsson W995 Walkman phone. Headlining Sony's new Media Go service, the Ericsson W995 Walkman phone is built to be a serious multimedia powerhouse, which delivers heavy on both music and video without skimping on basic call features. Sony clearly has its sights on the current cell phone king, the iPhone, and this slider has the potential to carve out a nice chunk of the marketplace. Assuming the price stays within reason, the W995 Walkman phone should be a gadget to keep an eye on in the coming quarter.
Sony has a stellar reputation for forward-thinking design, so you just knew that the company was going to come up with something special for the Ericsson W995 Walkman phone. The thin slider design, colored in "Progressive Black," "Cosmic Silver" and "Energetic Red" is extremely striking, and the 2.6-inch display is clear and bold enough to watch movies or videos on. In order to complement this phone's audio backbone, the Ericsson W995 Walkman comes with a desk stand and front stereo speakers to turn your cell phone into a de facto digital music player. Improving on a huge shortcoming from the past, Sony Ericsson has finally included a standard headphone jack as well, which further elevates the phone's music player status. The actual song controls and features are great, but not earth-shattering. You will get album art, shake volume control and the ability to turn your MP3s into instant ringtones. Finely tuned adjustable bass levels give you some extra calibration power should you choose to take advantage of it.
Dipping into other well-loved product genres, Sony has gone to its Cyber-shot line and come away with an exact replica 8.1-megapixel camera with the full trimmings to integrate right into the Ericsson W995 Walkman phone. Everything from 16x digital zoom (which doesn't mean much) to auto-face detection to image stabilization make this maybe the best camera included on any phone this year. In the connectivity department, Sony Ericsson has also hit all the right notes with GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and even support for Google Maps. As you dig deeper into this gadget, you just find more and more to like about it, such as the FM radio support, PC syncing and direct access to YouTube. All of these bells and whistles would be for naught if the W995 Walkman phone did not back it all up with good battery life and deep memory, and thankfully they have it covered. A Memory Stick Micro can give you up to 8GB, with 118MB internal storage. The nine-hour talk time and five hours of video time comes in well above the sweet spot, keeping you watching movies on even the longest road trips.

Many SXSW Music alumni came away winners from the annual Juno Awards this past Sunday, honoring the best Canadian musical talent. But perhaps the most exciting award of the night went to Ottawa DJ trio A Tribe Called Red for Breakthrough Group of the Year.
The honor was very special for A Tribe Called Red - an Aboriginal trio constantly advocating on behalf of native peoples, the group deliberately did not submit their 2013 album, Nation II Nation, to the Aboriginal Album of the Year category. As the Huffington Post points out, the trio relied "solely on the strength of their music to stand up against other mainstream contenders."
Humbled and honored, DJ NDN, standing with his band mates DJ Shub and Bear Witness, reiterated this sentiment in his acceptance speech: "I just want native youth everywhere on Turtle Island to know that this moment is proof that whatever goals you strive for in life, they're completely attainable! Aim High!"
Keep up with A Tribe Called Red and more SXSW 2014 breakout artists all year here on SXSWfm! Listen to us on your desktop, mobile device, or on TuneIn.
Congratulations to all of the other SXSW artist alumni who took home Juno Awards this past weekend, including: Tegan and Sara, Arcade Fire, Serena Ryder, Ron Sexsmith, Matt Mays, Karim Ouellet, Justin Rutledge, Ryan Hemsworth (2014 performer), and The Sheepdogs.

Upgraded finder for an 8SE?
Posted 02 May 2014 - 01:23 PM
Posted 02 May 2014 - 02:25 PM
If I had to recommend just one finder that is close to your price range and will work well on the 8SE, I'd suggest the Orion 6x30 RACI for $59:
The 6x30 gives you a wider field than the 9x50 so it's easier to acquire your target initially, but still provides a bit of magnification and more light grasp than a non-magnifying finder. Plus, the right-angle diagonal makes it a lot more comfortable to use.
Unfortunately, on top of the cost of the finder, you'll need to replace Celestron's proprietary finder shoe with a more standard Synta/Orion style shoe which will cost you another $25. However, if you do that, you'll then be able to use most standard finders in the future.
Posted 02 May 2014 - 02:34 PM
Oooops! Dan I think that the shoe from Orion goes for $17.00 and some change, at least that's what I remember when I bought mine.
Posted 02 May 2014 - 02:40 PM
You are correct! I was looking at the prices at ScopeStuff which includes 'free' shipping. Not sure what the Orion price is with shipping, but the purchase price is $17.99.

I just checked Agena Astro and it looks like they have a mounting bracket for $13.95 with free shipping.

Also, this 6x30 RACI doesn't use batteries, right? Is it as easy to align with this thing as with a Telrad?

The one in your link says explicitly in its description that it is NOT intended for use with schmidt-cassegrain telescopes ... although I'm not sure why.
I would go with the one Fred mentioned from Agena:
The 6x30 finder does not need power because it is not illuminated. It should be as easy to align as a telrad, and probably more accurate because of the magnification factor.

Anyone tried both on an 8se?
Posted 06 May 2014 - 06:18 AM
And finally, I don't think it offers any advantage on a goto scope. It's designed primarily for star hopping and is excellent at that job. But with the 8SE, you never need to star hop. You only need the finder for the alignment process. A small, comfortable to use, RACI does the job fine. And since the RACI provides some magnification, it also makes the star appear brighter, easier to see, and more accurate to align on.

I removed the telrad because I make so little use it...BUT I could also have removed the RACI finder for the same reason...The reason I left it on the scope is that while I do not use it as a finder I do it it as a small wide field Telescope in its own right
For alignment I use my Laser ..
BTW... I love the look of a Telrad (pure function..industrial design..

Sounds like the small RACI is the way to go. Thanks for the input guys.

Man that thing is crazy! Aren't you worried about all the weight?

Been using that scope for 8 or 9 years now the way it is set up... IT has never let me down...accurate GoTos & Tracking (has kept the ENTIRE full moon within the fOV of a regular 25 mm eyepiece for HOURS...

I made my own from sheet alumimum. It is attached to the rotating part of the mount using velcro. I also find the hand set more comfortable to use from the position I have it, as apposed to the position of the "wing thing". ( I tried mine on a bracket mounted there)
The stripped tape is an aid to locating it in the dark.

I don't think I want to go with the Telrad because it's bulky and I don't like the idea of the double-sided tape. That being said, which would you guys recommend? The Baader Sky Surfer III, the Orion EZ Finder II, or some other?
Posted 20 May 2014 - 01:49 PM
Have you tried just sighting along the outside of the 6x30 finder's optical tube to initially get you in the vicinity of the target alignment star? That finder has a 7° field of view so I would think it wouldn't be too big a problem finding your star.
Also, the view through the finder looks different because you can see more stars than naked eye, and it can sometimes be confusing. It can take some getting used to.
Posted 20 May 2014 - 02:14 PM
That's why I decided to go back to the RDF.
Posted 20 May 2014 - 02:57 PM
Regardless of what kind of finder you use, even an RDF, it has to be aligned with the main scope before you try using it for sky alignment of the mount, or trying to find a target.
The easiest way to do it is during the daytime. Aim the main scope at the most distant target you can see, like the top of a building, telephone pole or tree. Make sure the target is centered as well as you can in the 25mm eyepiece. Then look through the finder and use the adjusting screws so that the cross-hairs are centered on the target. Be sure that the finder is solidly in the base with the base screw tightened so it doesn't shift.
When you go out at night, you should be close to on target. However, the stars are more distant than your daytime target, so the parallax difference will mean you will be off a bit. So you want to tweak the finder alignment at night.
Find a bright target like Mars or Polaris, and center it in the main scope with the 25mm EP. If you grossly defocus the target, it will turn into a large donut which fills much of the view. It's easier to determine if this image is centered, so you can use it to accurately center the target. Then look in the finder and use the adjusting screws to center the finder crosshairs over the target.
Note that if you use Polaris, it will not be moving so you are good to go. However, if you were using Mars, you may want to go back and forth from main scope to finder a couple of time to check alignment because Mars will be moving across the sky over time.
When you're done, you should be accurately aligned and be able to easily use the finder to point the scope where you want, or perform your scope alignment. If you remove the finder and reinstall it, it still should be very close, but you may need to tune up the finder alignment a bit.

Tenth Federal Defendant in Operation Bite Back Dog Fighting Bust Sentenced
|U.S. Attorney's Office April 06, 2009

On March 24, 2007, local, state and federal law enforcement agencies shut down a massive dog fighting operation based in Southwest Ohio. This coordinated effort, referred to as "Operation Bite Back," resulted in the arrest of 54 individuals on state and federal charges.
"This case revealed that dog fighting attracts other criminal activities, including drug trafficking, gun running, illegal gambling, food stamp violations, and stolen vehicles and property offenses," Lockhart said. "The animals suffer unspeakable cruelty in dog fights and communities experience great harm in connection with other illegal acts committed as part of these dog fighting operations."
Congress has passed tougher laws against dog-fighting activities since this case began.
Lockhart commended the law enforcement agencies involved in "Operation Bite Back" for their cooperative efforts in investigating these crimes. Those include the Human Society of the United States, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Ohio Attorney General's Office, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Ohio Department of Public Safety, Franklin County Sheriff's Office, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, Tactical Crime Suppression Unit, Centerville Police Department, Dayton Police Department, Cincinnati Police Department, Miamisburg Police Department, Moraine Police Department, Kettering Police Department, German Township Police Department, Perry Township Police Department, Jackson Township Police Department, New Lebanon Police Department, and Trotwood Police Department, along with Hamilton and Montgomery County Prosecutors, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dwight Keller and William Schenck, who prosecuted the case.

Last week, Scarface, along with Geto Boys brother Willie D, appeared on Beyonce's Houston-studded remix to "I Been On." Asked about the remix by Fuse.TV at Saturday's Paid Dues Festival, Scarface actually revealed that he may be reuniting with Jay-Z. "I had just got off [of] email with Jay-Z, like two or three days before," explained 'Face. "'Cause I was tryin' to get him on my record, and he told me to send the record. I was not in a space where I could send the record from." That discussion intersected with Scarface's Beyonce remix appearance.
Scarface and Jay-Z have a long collaborative history. The two appeared, alongside Beanie Sigel, on 2002's "Guess Who's Back" single from The Fix. 'Face has also appeared on two Jay-Z albums, The Dynasty - Roc La Familia, and both versions of Blueprint 2.
Later in the Fuse interview, the 27-year Rap veteran admitted trepidation about releasing his twelfth solo album, after additional releases with Geto Boys, Facemob and The Product. "In all honesty, I want to drop an album. But I don't want it to get lost in the wash," said the longtime Rap-A-Lot Records artist. Further asked about the status of his Mac & Brad album with another aforementioned longtime collaborator, and former Jay-Z protege Beanie Sigel, 'Face quickly waved. "That's not gonna happen." Fans of the Geto Boys may also be disappointed to learn that 2005's The Foundation will go down as the last album by the dynamic Houston pioneers. "We may tour," said 'Face, who with Willie D and Bushwick Bill, appeared at 2012's The Gathering event, and other appearances. "As far as Geto Boy albums, no sir."

Explanations Why You Must Take into consideration Getting a Botox Treatment
A wrinkle in the skin is generally formed vertical to a contracting muscular tissue located straight beneath it. As an example, the muscular tissue in the forehead is a vertical muscle, and when it agreements (such as when you raise your eyebrows), the lines that develop (creases) will be straight.
Botox is not a dermal filler. As an alternative, it shuts out nerve impulses that create muscular tissues to contract and source forehead creases. The two muscles that are responsible for the frown lines are placed somewhat horizontally between the eyebrows, so when they contract, the frown lines appear upright.
Botox Cosmetic is injected in to muscles, where it shuts out nerve impulses to those tissues. source The muscle activity that triggers the frown lines is lessened, and a smoother look results. Without a contracting muscle below it, the skin has a difficult time wrinkling.
When your face is totally unwinded are not really excellent candidates for Botox, face lines that exist. These lines are much better managed by the skin fillers. Botox can regularly "soften" these lines but not always do away with them.
The treatments take approximately 10 mins, and you need to have no downtime afterward. [www.lakeForestoptometry.com/ related web page]
Botox calls for two to 4 days for it to affix to the nerve finishing that would generally stimulate the muscular tissue to agreement. Whatever result is obtained 2 weeks after the shots should be considered the maximum effect that is going to take place.
Is Botox Painful?
Any type of treatment can hurt, however the needles used for Botox treatments are extremely little, so discomfort is typically minimal. [www.lakeForestoptometry.com/ blog] The area could be numbed with a topical anesthetic cream or ice bag 10-20 mins prior to the treatments are offered, so you may not really feel much discomfort, if any kind of.
You could really feel a little soreness later on, once the anesthetic cream has worn off. Opposite results are listed below.
Just how Frequently Should You Get Botox Injections?
You're most likely questioning exactly how lengthy Botox lasts. The majority of individuals see effects for three to 4 months, yet a number of elements could reduce or extend that duration:.
U.S. treatments of Botox and Dysport for 2012. Your age. Older people with much less muscular tissue tone may see outcomes decrease faster than those with more youthful, stronger face muscular tissues. Your facial structure and expressions. Whether you smoke. Your diet. Whether you take excellent treatment of your skin; usage facials, microdermabrasion or various other resurfacing techniques. The amount of sun you get and just how much sunlight damages your skin already has. Whether you use Botox repetitively or not. However, this seems to differ from one person to an additional. Some acquire a longer-lasting effect with duplicated usage, while others appear to establish a resistance to the medicine and need additional regular procedures. Doctors disagree on which of the above elements are the most essential; it's an excellent concern to ask your professional. Regardless, it is not suggested to have shots in the same injection site (such as for crow's feet) a lot more regularly compared to every 3 months.
As with the treatment of any type of medication, your physical body's immune system can develop antibodies to the medicine, which make the medicine much less effective or potentially create advancement of a hatred the medicine. The additional often the drug is injected or the more quantity that is administered, the greater the danger for these antibodies to be formed versus the drug.
Botox Side Results.
Potential Botox negative effects include pain at the injection site, infection, swelling, puffinessing, inflammation, bleeding and blemishing. Several of these signs might suggest an allergy; other allergic reaction symptoms are irritating, wheezing, asthma, a rash, red welts, dizziness and fatigue. If you have any breathing concerns or a faint or dizzy feeling, inform your doctor instantly.
Do not get shots at a Botox party at a house. A medical environment is more secure, and any type of negative effects could be treated right away. Completely dry mouth, tiredness, headache and neck discomfort have actually been stated.
You might have heard of other side results also, such as numbness, limpy eyelids, muscle spasms or twitching, and movement of the element.
Tingling as an absence of bodily feeling is not truly a concern with Botox, due to the fact that Botox is not an anesthetic. Feeling numb as the outcome of the inability to move a muscle is a problem for some people.
Muscle spasms in the location of the Botox injections do not develop while the Botox is effective. It goes without saying, Botox is utilized to manage spasms connected to benign vital blepharospasm, hemifacial contraction, spastic paralysis, fibromyalgia and temporomandibular joint disorder.
It is feasible for the Botox to spread a little beyond the desired injection website and impact surrounding cells. If you obtain injections in to the forehead close to your brows or your top eyelids, they could be affected and may droop temporarily.
The best professionals understand the appropriate websites of injection to avoid side effects such as droopy eyelids. A little, extremely focused amount of Botox dose is much less likely to disperse from the injection site compared to a large diluted dose.
This emphasizes the relevance of finding a practitioner that has long encounter with offering Botox treatments.
What You Can Do To Avoid Botox Side Consequences.
The listing of feasible side effects discussed in this information is a long one, yet it would certainly be extremely unusual for anybody to experience all them. And adhering to these six pointers will minimize or avoid most Botox negative side effects:.
Make sure your specialist is really experienced at Botox injections and is a reputable medical professional. A beauty salon hair stylist, for instance, is not a proper person to conduct Botox, due to the fact that he or she would certainly not have emergency devices or sufficient medical understanding if something failed. Some disreputable people have supposedly provided injections that were over- or under-diluted with saline, as well as fake options that didn't include Botox at all. Before having shots, inform your expert regarding any sort of health and wellness problems you have. Inform your expert about medicines, supplements, herbal preparations or other supplements you take, considering that some combinations of these supplements with Botox might trigger serious side effects. It's especially essential to point out having taken administered antibiotics, muscular tissue relaxants, allergy or cool medicines and rest medications. Follow your professional's pre- and post-injection instructions extremely carefully. Report all side effects-- especially those that are bothering you or will not disappear. Be cautious of Botox treatments at a "Botox party" at someone's residence. You need to be in a medical setting, where any sort of negative effects could be dealt with quickly. You might not see the final impacts of the shots throughout the party anyway, as they usually take a couple of days. A Botox celebration isn't such a bad idea if it's held by a doctor in a clinical setup, yet even then there's a risk of the medical professional's focus being separated between you and the other guests. Is Botox Safe for Your Eyes?
Botox is really made use of to address eye muscle issues (strabismus) and uncontrolled eyelid twitching (blepharospasm), and it was established and FDA-approved for these usages with eye protection in mind.
Of course, safety measures are required to avoid feasible Botox Cosmetic side effects such as limpy eyelids, double eyesight, obscured eyesight, lessened vision, eyelid swelling and completely dry eyes. Mention them to your eye medical professional and your doctor if you have any of these problems after a shot.
Botox Expense.
The expense of Botox Cosmetic shots varies from one location to one more and from one specialist to one more, so you'll should ask your expert just what they charges.
Some practitioners bill by the lot of systems injected. One vial of Botox Cosmetic includes ONE HUNDRED units. Advertised specials of $6-$7 each are not unusual, while some experts might charge up to $10-$12 per unit.
Some methods charge by the "area." As an example, the frown lines would certainly be one area, the crow's feet an additional zone and the forehead yet one more zone.
Prices each area might differ in between $250 and $350, depending upon the professional and/or the area of the country.
Botox needs 2 to 4 days for it to attach to the nerve ending that would generally stimulate the muscle to deal. Potential Botox side impacts consist of pain at the injection site, infection, swelling, swelling, redness, wounding and hemorrhaging. Make certain your expert is very experienced at Botox shots and is a revered medical specialist. Some disreputable people have actually apparently conducted treatments that were over- or under-diluted with saline, as well as counterfeit options that didn't include Botox at all. Be mindful of Botox shots at a "Botox celebration" at someone's residence.

It is the policy of Carroll County Memorial Hospital to render care to patients irrespective of their ability to pay. Patients who qualify for full or partial charity care will be identified as soon as possible and will be treated with the same courtesy as all other patients. Annually, the CEO and Board Members will establish the amount of charity services to be budgeted.
Who Qualifies?
Patients who have been reviewed or interviewed by the Carroll County Memorial Hospital Financial Counselor, or Case Manager, and who upon initial review appear to be financially or medically indigent and may need financial assistance to cover all or part of the patient's hospital bill including:
• Patients whose income is at or below 200% the percentage of the federal poverty guidelines
• Catastrophic Medical cases where a patient/guarantor who has suffered a catastrophic medical incident resulting in medical bills that
exceed one's annual income, or, if in any given three (3) month consecutive window, whose medical bills exceed 20% of their gross
income plus assets for the year; thereby concluding that one's unpaid hospital charges exceed their ability to pay. The balance owed
of these patients will be subject to a sliding scale and partial charity may be applied.
• Patients who are uninsured or underinsured
• Patients with a current Missouri Medicaid card or on a Missouri Medicaid Spend Down plan
• Patients who have very limited financial resources and where payment of the entire bill would prove an undue hardship.
• Patients whose stay exceeds the current Medicaid benefits limit.
Patients who qualify presently, or have qualified previously for this program, will not be disqualified from future consideration. The specific circumstance will be reviewed for each date of service and determination of special need made at that time. Charity care qualification will apply retroactively to all open accounts in a 'Final Bill' status and remain in effect for 12 months after the first service date applied. After the twelve-month period, all information may need to be resubmitted and re-reviewed.
Assistance is generally secondary to all other financial resources available to the patient including:
Uninsured Patient Discount Eligibility Criteria
An uninsured patient who does not qualify as financially or medically indigent shall receive a discount of 15% of the total balance.
Application Process:
Financial Assistance applications can be obtained through the Business Office. Completed applications must be submitted to the Business Office within 10 days of receipt. Completed applications are legible, signed, dated, and will include applicable and requested attachments. If married, the patient must provide the requested information for both the patient and spouse. Applications not meeting these conditions may be returned to applicant or considered denied. An incomplete application that has been returned or considered denied may be resubmitted one time within 30 days for additional review.
Upon receipt of a completed application, collection activity will cease until a determination has been made.
Verification of Income, Expenses, Liabilities, and Assets:
Verification of income and asset documentation is required for any charity care request and may increase depending on the quantity and dollar value of the account(s).
Upon receipt of completed application, the financial representative will review the completed Request Form Worksheet and submit to the Supervisor for approval. The Financial Assistance Worksheet determines the percentage of charity care for which the guarantor is eligible. The Financial Counselors must confirm that all figures used to calculate eligibility are correct, and if needed, they have the authority to seek additional verification before submitting for approval. The Supervisor will evaluate the Financial Counselor recommendations, verify calculations and documentation and, either approve or deny.
• Consideration: When reviewing an application, the following considerations are reviewed:
• Source of income, for employed patients and unemployed where the patient/guarantor is not working, but has income.
• Assets
• Bank Account Balances (including name of bank)
• Alimony
• Child Support
• Credit report, obtained through Transunion w/open lines of credit indicative of resources to pay the bill.
• Resident of service area
• Pt does not have insurance or qualify for Medicaid or any other government program
• Statements for non-retirement accounts for the past three (3) months. We will "spend down" these account balances to pay the open
• Evidence that all possible third party payers have been exhausted and the balance is due from the patient/responsible party
Carroll County may utilize discretion to make exceptions to the above procedures based on specific extraordinary circumstances.
In the event of extenuating or catastrophic circumstances where the income exceeds the poverty guidelines, but medical bills are excessive, partial charity may be offered per the 'Sliding Scale'.
When the patient has been approved under the charity care policy for a partial discount, Carroll County will work with the patient or the responsible party to establish mutually agreeable payment option which will settle the balance in house within 24 months.
Financial Assistance calculation:
To be eligible for a 100 percent reduction from the patient portion of billed charges (i.e. full write-off) the patient's household income must be at or below 200 percent of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines. Patients with household income between 150 percent and 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines will be eligible for a sliding scale discount of the patient portion of billed charges. (See attachment B)
Carroll County's decision to provide financial assistance in no way affects the patients/guarantors financial obligation to their physician or other health care providers.
• All applicants will be notified of their approval or denial in writing.
• Appeal: Patients/guarantors may appeal a financial assistance determination by providing additional information such as income
verification or an explanation of extenuating circumstances to the Financial Counselor Supervisor within 10 days of receiving
notification of determination. The Financial Counselor Supervisor and Director will review all appeals.
The patient/guarantor will be notified of the appeals outcome. Collection follow up will be pended during the appeal process.
For all patients identified Full Charity Care Patients, Carroll County:
• Will not use forced court appearance to require the charity care patient or responsible party to appear in court.
• Will not garnish wages.
For all patients who have received Partial Charity, Carroll County:
• Will not pursue collection action against a patient who has clearly demonstrated that he or she does not have sufficient income or assets to meet any part of their financial obligation to the Medical Center.
• Will re-review a patient's determination if the patient agreed to a repayment plan that was reasonable in relation to his or her circumstances at the time, but the patient subsequently lost his or her job and became unable to pay under the plan, the original charity determination may be re-reviewed.
Note: If Carroll County has sufficient reason to believe that patient has income or assets to meet his or her partial obligation but continues with non-payment, the charity discount will be removed and the account will be referred to our outside collection agency.

I've also tried using USB to activate the device on the server, but I always get "This user is not yet known to the blackberry agent" (see attached). It doesn't matter if I wait overnight, or 20 minutes, the message is the same...
Ideas? ;(
i think that at this point, you need to double check with your carrier that this device has the right level of service. can you also send me the agent logs for when you are trying to provision this device for an OTA provision? if you are getting that activation email, the agent logs should be indicating what is going wrong.
Go into control panel - admin tools - services and make sure all the blackberry services are started and running too.
Ok, sorry guys. For some reason I had only created one of the 'mail' accounts. The way the PDF was cut up, on my machine, led to me missing the "repeat this for the other account" line.
My mistake. Once that was in there, all went well. I seem to be syncing without issue at this point.
I'm having similar issues with activating my first BB.
- I receive the activation email from the BlackBerry cloud and it is properly formed.
- I created both the mail accounts, BlackBerryManager and BlackBerryServer, as specified in the setup documents. However, I'm not quite sure which one of the accounts is supposed to be set as "default."
- All my BB services are starting up on boot and running fine (as far as I can tell).
- I had the user call AT&T Mobility to add the BES service to his account. AT&T says it has been activated.
- Based on the BlackBerry Knowledge Base, I deleted my user and tried to set up the user again. Stupid me ... shouldn't have done that! Now my BB server says I only have one license and it can't create another user without me getting another license. I know this point is unrelated to Zimbra, but does anyone know if I need to wait until the provisioning time (48 hours) runs out, until I can re-provision the user?
Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
i followed what you were doing until you said that you deleted your user and tried to set up the user again? where in the steps was this user originally provisioned? on thing that you may be seeing is that when you delete a user, that user isn't completely gone until their mailbox data is purged by BES. if you are using a full BES or the older BES Express, you could see a tab in the manager listing users that are "pending delete" and you could force the purge. in BES professional express, they do not have this in the UI anymore and when a user is actually deleted is not as obvious. until that user is completely deleted from the system, you will not be able to provision another user if you only have a single device license and you will not be able to provsion that user again (because they are officially not out of the system yet). i've found myself in a situation where the user was pending delete but it didn't seem to get purged. in that case, i actually downloaded a free ms sql query browser and deleted the row for that user in the user config database and i was able to move forward.
you are right, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the zimbra portion of things but it would be nice to know exactly what you were doing.
David & Tony,
Thanks for quick replies.
Tony: Ehrm ... I didn't outline the things I had done in the order they happened, but more in the order of (perceived) importance to me. Sorry. I'm using BES Professional Express. Like you said, there's nowhere for me to *actually* purge the user. Seems like a strange setup to me. I guess I'll have to try to do what you suggested and actually purge the record manually. I really don't like to have to do that kind of stuff.
Everything was setup according to the BES Connector for Zimbra guide, MAPI client, Outlook, BES, Zimbra. I have no reason to believe that the installation went wrong. Everything seemed fine. No complaints or error messages.
I then went ahead and created a BB account in BES, which populated its users from GAL. So far, so good.
The user got the activation email with the setup password. He called AT&T to provision BES on his phone. They said it was done.
We then ran the Enterprise Activation wizard on this phone to provision OTA. It just sits there forever.
Going back into his Zimbra account, he gets the activation emails from the BlackBerry cloud. But BES doesn't appear to pick them up and start the sync process with his BB.
So, I think I have it narrowed down to three potential issues:
1) I have the wrong mail profile assigned as "default" on the Win2003 Server. Based on the setup instructions, I have two profiles configured, BB Manager and BB Server. Which one should be set as the default wasn't clearly noted in the BES Connector for Zimbra guide (I think). Could you let me know?
2) AT&T is telling us BES service is activated on his phone, but it's really not.
3) Although everything looks OK on the BB server, it's really not.
As for me deleting the BB user I had created, that was just because I read in RIM's troubleshooting guide to try to delete and re-provision. Like I said, I shouldn't have done that ... well ...
i've seen 2) before (the person even called a couple of times).
it could also be 3) but to figure that out i would need some logs from you. the most important would be the blackberry agent logs. its possible that there is some issue where, even though the user is activated in the BES manager, their user isn't "working" in BES and the logs would tell us that.
let me know if you need help gathering these logs.
I was sending emails to support.. should've checked this forum first. The OTA does not seem to work at all... tried since last night, reviewed logs, reinstalled OS & applications, nothing! OTA simply did not work at all. Then I saw this posting & plugged in the device and it worked! Per ZCB documentation, it says "the BES Activation is currently supported for OTA only" and this should be removed as it would have saved me about 24 hours on pulling the hair out...

He was with Hennessy and involved in top fight after top fight (Pascal, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham) yet nobody but hardcore boxing fans knew who he was because he had no TV deal.
At the same time Khan was winning dud fights against the likes of Salita, Malignaggi and McCloskey yet everyone was raving about him on TV and in all the newspapers, boxing magazines etc. It's bound to wound Froch up.
Now the roles are reversed, everyone loves Froch and Khan is almost irrelevant.
I'm on Froch's side in this case, he's right when he says Khan made a right **** himself by
banging about what a superstar
he is before getting knocked flat on his **** by Garcia.
Where exactly was he 'banging about what a superstar' before getting beaten by Garcia? I've probably watched next to all the interviews he'd had and I don't recall him saying anything of the sort.
It's not as if Froch hasn't had a history of taking shots at others either. He's done it to countless amounts of fighters. Saying silly **** like he should retire and then saying that he would want no part of Kell Brook is just asking for a response, and as far as I remember, Amir still said nothing besides "Carl always has something to say", and again, today he takes another silly dig which has only made up for another dispute after they were both fine until Carl felt the need to comment on him, again.

Reign Is Not Historically Accurate, In Case That's Weird For You
In an interview at the Television Critics Awards press tour, Reign star Adelaide Kane made a shocking admission: Reign is not historically accurate. The horror!
TheWrap reports that Adelaide, who plays 15-year-old Mary, Queen of Scots, said in a press panel, "this is not the History Channel."
Indeed, Reign is a CW show, and you know what the CW is really good at giving us? Drama and hot dudes.
"I do think that each episode will educate people on what element of history helps our story, and there is a certain amount of latitude in terms of dramatizing events," executive producer Laurie McCarthy added.
We all watched the film version if Pride and Prejudice and know the screenplay wasn't written by Jane Austen. But if this is the kind of thing that ruffles your feathers, you might want to back away from a CW dramatization of really any historical happening.
"Of course we're going to dramatize bits," Adelaide clarified, "How many teenage girls do you know that are obsessed with history? I know I wasn't at that age."
That said, Adelaide has grown a ton of respect for the young queen. "I actually did a lot of research about Mary. I wanted to get to know her as a woman and as a person, and not just a dry historical figure," she said. "She was really a remarkable woman. There is a little bit of literature out there about her personality. she was very witty, charming — a very, very intelligent woman. She spoke six languages, she played two different instruments she rode, she hunted."
Young girls probably shouldn't use Reign to write a history paper. But if Nostradamus suddenly turning sexy (he is!!) gets young ladies interested in finding out the real story, the show will have more than done its job.

Three Charged with Bank Robbery in Connection with 2012 Hoax Bomb Scenario in Los Angeles
Reward Offered by Bank as Investigation Continues
|FBI Los Angeles May 20, 2013
LOS ANGELES—Three Los Angeles men have been charged federally for their roles in a bank robbery that occurred in Los Angeles, California, on September 5, 2012, in which a bank employee was outfitted with a hoax explosive device, announced United States Attorney in Los Angeles, Andrė Birotte, Jr.; FBI Assistant Director in Charge Bill Lewis; and Huntington Park Police Chief Jorge Cisneros.
On April 25, 2013, a federal grand jury in Los Angeles returned an indictment filed under seal charging Reyes "Ray" Vega, Richard Menchaca, and Bryan Perez with conspiracy to commit bank robbery, bank robbery, and aiding and abetting each other by force, violence, and intimidation. The indictment was unsealed this morning.
The three defendants were arrested during the evening on Friday, May 17. Ray Vega, 34, was taken into custody by FBI Agents in Atlanta, Georgia, and was held in federal custody over the weekend. Richard Menchaca, 36, was arrested in Fontana, California, by members of the FBI's Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team. Bryan Perez, 27, was arrested following a vehicle stop in Los Angeles by detectives with the Huntington Park Police Department. Menchaca and Perez were held at the Huntington Park Police Department over the weekend and were transferred to federal custody this morning. All three are scheduled to have an appearance today in United States District Court. Menchaca and Perez will appear in Los Angeles and Vega, in Atlanta.
The indictment alleges that Ray Vega planned and made arrangements to rob the Bank of America located at 941 South Atlantic Avenue in Los Angeles, where one of his girlfriends worked as an assistant branch manager. The girlfriend is identified in the indictment only by the initials "A.B."
The indictment alleges that defendants Perez and Menchaca traveled to examine the bank and surrounding area prior to the actual robbery and that defendant Vega secured vehicles registered to a family member for use during the robbery. The indictment further alleges that, on the morning of the robbery and during it, Vega arranged for A.B. to wear a device resembling an explosive on her person so that she would appear to be a hostage. The device was rendered safe by explosives experts who responded to the bank robbery and later determined that the device was a hoax. According to the indictment, the purported device was used so it would appear that explosives would be detonated unless an employee of the bank assisted A.B. by accessing the bank's vault.
The indictment alleges that defendant Menchaca picked up the cash placed outside the bank by A.B. The defendants later met at a hotel to split the proceeds of the bank robbery, according to the indictment. The stolen money has not been recovered.
If convicted of the charges in the indictment, the defendants face a statutory maximum sentence of 25 years in federal prison.
Law enforcement investigators believe there is a strong possibility that additional individual/s have knowledge of the bank robbery and/or the whereabouts of the stolen cash. This investigation, therefore, remains active.
Anyone with information about the planning and execution of the September 5 bank robbery or the whereabouts of the money stolen during the bank robbery is urged to contact the joint investigative team at 1 888 CANT HIDE (or 1 888 226-8443). Bank of America officials are offering a reward of up to $10,000 in exchange for information leading to the arrest and conviction of additional person/s responsible for this crime.
This matter is the subject of a continuing investigation by detectives with the Huntington Park Police Department and agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Explosives experts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department assisted during the response to the bank robbery. The defendants will be prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.

or is this another 6 day one-off?
or is this another 6 day one-off?
BMCs are dreamy.
That is all.
Is that the Gent's 6 day event?
If they are BMC riders, they may be riding other manufacturers bikes with BMC decals. Some olympians did this, they ran different wheels, but had Mavic stickers.
The frame (lower pic) looks like the Boardman track bike, to me. Probably wrong.
The riders are in BMC kit (I think?) and I'd say they've put BMC decals on, I can't find anything on BMC's website about a track product.
yeah, gent 6. makes sense that they are rebadged whatever. thanks. was curious.
They're definitely not just re-badged frames, I was looking at those bikes last night, it's a BMC definitely, it has their trademark tubing. It's aluminium but has very nice, smooth welds. I wouldn't be surprised if they were just team frames, BMC have done that before, just making a few frames for their pros. I should have asked Adam Blythe about them but I didn't get time to. They're quite boring frames compared to BMC's usual frame designs.
Yeah, I seen a BMC track bike at the LBS near the track.
BMC Track Machine. Couldn't get much from it, as it was hanging from the rafters pretty high up.
It's not the BMC trackmachine, that's been out of production for years. This is either a prototype or a one off, but I think it's probably a prototype because of the UCI rule that says the bikes the pros ride have to be commercially available. So we may be seeing this frame on the market in the future.
Not sure, but I definitely know it has happened atleast once in the olympics, I'm pretty sure a rider rode FFWD discs with the new Mavic badges.
On the other hand, it would make sense to run Mavics and badge them to your sponsor, from what I've read they're some of the best.

We depend on local radio coverage
For 13 of WSCL's 25 years I have volunteered as a classical music announcer, and I am deeply disheartened by news that Salisbury University's foundation is considering piping in prepackaged music programming from far away and terminating several staff members, some of whom have been with us almost since the beginning.
I enjoy not only WSCL's classical music, but also the well-informed commentary that accompanies it. The WSCL blog features commentary and extensive notes on music featured on the station, especially on Just Opened. Other popular programs such as Classical Chat and Classical Kids, as well Just Opened, are unlikely to be included in canned programming from Lord knows where.
I am disturbed at the prospect, moreover, of losing WSDL's news and commentary Other NPR stations now locally available do not have that same programming. None of them offers anything like Don Rush's truly brilliant Delmarva Today, featuring interviews with members of the local business community, as well as with SU students who, as interns, have covered the national political conventions. Nor do other stations bring us Peabody Award winner Mark Steiner's On Delmarva, which often features Chesapeake Bay's own Tom Horton. And, I depend on WSCL for local weather; I am not interested in WAMU's information about disruption of the DC Metro.
SU's foundation just completed a capital campaign, receiving almost $40,000,000 - surely an indication that the university, if it wishes, can sustain this priceless shore resource.
John M. Ferren
South Bethany
John - I too am an avid listener to NPR from Salisbury State University. I understand the building housing the programs is to be demolished. They are looking for new digs. The tribulations public radio is facing is just beginning. Anyone who listens, and depends on NPR from local channels please contribute what you can to keep these stations functional.

Suppo 2212
This 2212/13 is advertised as pulling 13.4A with a 10X6HD which is 1.4A above the 12A spec. That being said, at an advertised 47g it sounded like a good replacement for my 57g AXi2212/26 that is pulling 12A on 3S spinning 10X3.8 SF. Two reasons for wanting a different motor than the AXi, 1) I wanted a lower weight motor to move the CG back. 2) the frame is a 3D trainer and I didn't want to wipe out my AXi on a throw away frame. Well I managed to wack the AXi directly into the ground before I had a chance to swap out the motors. I took it apart and luckily no magnets were broken or bent shaft but the front bearing is history. So a trip to Boca Bearing is in order.
The Suppo has a fine finish on the out side especially for the money. So I set it on the scale and low and behold my 47g motor weighs 57g, exact weight of the AXi. Hmmm. So I soldered up a new 12A RCPB ESC (nice ESC) to it, mounted a 10X3.8SF ( I figured it should be in spec with a 10X3.8 vs the 10X6 shown in the spec sheet) on it, on hooked up my watt meter... I never hit WOT before seeing 15A on the meter. Hmmmm. So I mounted a 9X3.8 SF and it spun it at a little over 12A. I took the motor apart to give the guts a look. The winding is pretty neat and looks like a good fill , again especially for the price. A look at the magnets and they didn't look to beefy. They have that super cheap finish and they "look" thin. I suspect a set of N50 from Dan would wake this thing up, if he has 12mm's that fit. At first I was disappointed, but for the price it's still good. Just use a watt meter when you prop it.
It will work fine with a 9" prop on the ZoomZoom as the Axi with the 10" prop was more than I can use/need/handle for power at this point.
When I get the Axi back together I'll do some bench test on both as they are a pretty close comparison.
All in all I think the Suppo is an OK deal but they need to correct the figures, I wish this motor weighed 47g and could spin a 10X3.8.
One more note that in the spec sheet also shows that the 10X6 is recommended on 2S

I generally take listed prop data with a couple grains of salt just because the actual loaded test voltage is almost never provided. We only get a lipo cell count, a prop, and a figure for current. Suppo motors have been around awhile; if the test was done with an actual lipo (versus a stable power supply) from a few years back, the numbers might be quite a bit lower than what we see with newer packs.
The 2212/13 is quoted as having a Kv of 1000 RPM/V, which is 80Kv higher than your AXi. Allowing for a few percent variation in each, the Kv difference alone could easily explain the difference in numbers (though I suspect the AXi has a bit of an contributing edge in performance and efficiency as well). The 2212/15, listed at 930Kv, might be a more direct replacement.

This site didn't carry a 930 otherwise that would have been the choice. Now that I know I will look around for one for sale. The test data provided at the POS may not be Suppo data. I also don't expect a $75.00 motor for $15.00. Just observation... I agree about most data although I have run across a few that are spot on from economy based web sites. I intend to run some better tests when I get the Axi bearinged up again and look for the 930 in the mean time. I'll bet it will spin a a 10" prop. I thought it was to good to be true a $15.00 motor weighing 47g spinning a 10" prop on 3S
Here it is
Here are some solid numbers for it.

I have the very motor which generated the test data in Post #4 above. Yours for $15 to Paypal if you want it.
Cheers, Phil
P.S. it is typo on that table.. it is a 2212/15 motor weighing 51g.
ZB, it's the same exact motor as the other one (2212/13) but with a 15-turn wind for the slightly lower Kv. Its weight will be identical.
For a 47g motor swinging a 10" prop, you'll either need to give up a significant amount of power (worth the weight savings?) or else run a high-Kv inrunner of excellent quality in a light gearbox (higher possible power/weight ratio). Personally I'd eat the couple grams and go with the 2212/15 from Altitude

Had a chance to fly this motor in the ZoomZoom this is a nice running motor has a good sound to it, similar to the AXi, plenty of power with the 9" prop, but that missing inch of prop is noticeable in the throttle position when hovering (or in my wavering) and low speed maneuvers. Flight time remained the same. But all in all a good value.

It's Suppo time again, been while since I had a chance to get back to these motors. Apparently there was something wrong with my scale (or me) as I had concluded this motor weighed 57g. This will set that straight. What brought this up is I have a request for two 50ish gram motors wound the same. It's for the worlds most unique flying object (so deemed by me). Any way in the mean time I rewound the 15T motor to dial it in for my application, winding it 9T dLRK Star. But the motor as stock worked fine and I find these motors to be a good value. I didn't document the tear down of the 15T motor but if I remember it is just like this one. This is an interesting motor as described as a 2212, but look at the dimensions of the stator, it's fat. I see now what led to my thin magnet comment. Interesting approach.

I was in a hurry to get it in the air, I skipped extensive bench tests and installed it on the plane with a brief watt meter test and a 10X4.7 APC SF. Just the windy part of the year and the usual luck that when it does calm down I have to do something else besides fly. But it's ready

If 13 turn delta is true 1000Kv, then 9turn star is 834 Kv.
Very fine for APC sf 10x4.7 and 3slipo.
Check my data for rewind Hacker A20 to 839 Kv.
