What is a HIGH EFFICIENCY elevator bucket?
HIGH EFFICIENCY elevator buckets incorporate all five of the following characteristics: a smooth interior front face with no "breaks", wing-less side walls, close vertical placement on the elevator belt, a tapered bottom and the ability to nest for shipping and storage. For more details, CLICK HERE
Why use Low Profile elevator buckets?
Low profile elevator buckets are created to achieve the closest vertical spacing possible on the elevator belt, thereby optimizing the system for the greatest potential capacity. Some styles of elevator bucket require modification and others are low profile by standard design. Wet or sluggish inputs do not generally load and discharge well in low profile buckets. Due to the extra capacity that is generated and the weight of the additional buckets and material, belt PIW rating, pulley shaft diameters and motor HP may have to be upgraded. Check with 4B engineering department about the best way to get the most capacity out of your elevator leg.
Why add vent holes to the bottom of an elevator bucket?
When elevating fluffy or powdery materials, vent holes in the bottom of the elevator bucket allow it to fill and discharge more efficiently. As material enters the bucket, it encounters a pillow of air resting in the bottom. Vent holes provide an escape path for this pillow of air, so that the entering material does not bounce out of the bucket and back down the elevator leg casing. Upon discharge, the vent holes allow air to re-enter the bucket at the material exits, releasing any vacuum that might hold it the bucket too long, creating down legging.
Are CC style elevator buckets interchangeable with Starco elevator buckets?
Starco elevator buckets have a special shallow geometry and are intended to be placed extremely close together on the elevator belt. Therefore, you should check with the 4B engineering department before replacing Starco elevator buckets with any other brand or design.
How long of an elevator bolt do I need?
When installing buckets on an elevator belt, use this simple formula:
(belt thickness + bucket back thickness + washer thickness + nut thickness + 1/4 inch)
What is a "digger" bucket?
Some materials can form a hardened crust along the side wall of the elevator boot, and powders sitting over time can become rock hard. Both of these issues can cause premature elevator bucket wear. Digger buckets are designed to have slightly more width and projection than standard buckets, thereby "digging" through or breaking apart the hardened material, helping to prevent added wear to the standard buckets. Digger buckets are traditionally made from steel, however nylon buckets may also be used depending on the application.
How many digger buckets do I need?
For most applications, use one digger bucket for every nine standard buckets.
Can I use buckets on an overlap splice?
An overlap splice doubles the thickness of the belt, so a bucket's projection will increase on the overlap. Usually this will not cause a problem, but if it does, you can use buckets with one inch less projection or cut the tip of each bucket by half an inch on the spliced area.
When using an overlap splice, how much extra belt should I use for the splice?
The length of the splice should be three times the width of the belt.
How often should I replace head pulley lagging?
Lagging should be replaced every time the elevator belt is replaced.

Deep Creek Yacht Club at Turkey Neck
Venue Description
Sailing Tips
The Turkey Neck club is at the south end of the lake on a peninsula. The primary major highway by which you approach Turkey Neck Peninsula is Rt135. From the west side, you will encounter rt 135 by following US 219 through Oakland where it junctions with rt135 as it (219) turns right (south). Rt 135 continues straight ahead as Maryland Hwy. If you have detoured around Oakland by taking Sand Flat road, You will encounter 135 at a blinking light (the only traffic light on that stretch); turn left. Turkey Neck Road will be on your left (~1-2 mi) at the top of a hill, turn left. The green road sign was knocked down during a snow/ice storm, but from either direction there are yellow signs that warn you are approaching Turkey Neck Road. In about two miles you will see Yacht Club road on the left. Take the turn and the yacht club is ahead on the right. You will see parking on the left & might want to park there temporarily unless the parking attendants (John Clark or Bill Lovett direct you other wise). Charles Graham has volunteered to be the Dock attendant and can also be helpful in directing you to the best option. Robin, Sandy, Marty & I will be in the club signing up skippers & crews. If you haven't encountered anyone else we'll be there.
If you approaching from South or east:
rt 135 heads north from the north end of Kaiser, WV. After crossing Backbone mountain, 135 takes a sharp left @ a blinking yellow light (this is a light far beyond the one in Luke, MD near the paper mill). In a few hundred yards watch for the yellow road sign warning that Turkey Neck road is coming up. It's a right hand turn.
If you are coming south on rt 495 to the north-east of the lake, you will encounter rt 135 in Swanton, MD. 495 takes a sharp left, you turn right on to 135. In about 6 miles you will see the blinking light referred to in the previous paragraph.

Prescribed Fire
A prescribed fire is a purposely lit fire that is used for land management and restoration.
Native Americans used fire for several different reasons. Two main reasons were to manage wildlife and keep the prairies open near forested areas for bison forage.
Prescribed fire is an inexpensive management tool that can be used to restore ecosystems. Prescribed fire is used all over the world for land maintenance.
Prescribed fire is used in the prairie to prevent trees from encroaching into the prairies, prevent invasive species and improving forage for livestock.
Prescribed fire can also be used to maintain or create wildlife habitat. Prescribed fire is crucial for maintaining habitat for wildlife such as the greater and lesser prairie-chicken.
Prescribed fire is often used to burn up debris and dead plant material such as leaf litter, which allows in water and sunlight to new plants. This also reveals seeds, insects and berries for wildlife to eat.

INS Satpura's Fitments Explained
Note: All photos courtesy of: http://www.stratpost.com/images-ins-satpura
By the way, Vice Admiral Robin Dhowan (whom I had first met in 2003 in Langkawi during the LIMA 2003 exhibition when he was commanding officer of INS Delhi, which was taking part in the expo) on August 31 became the new Vice Chief of the Naval Staff (VCNS) and Vice Admiral V K Soni (to become the Chief of the Naval Staff after Vice Admiral D K Joshi—the present FOC-in-C Western Command—who will become the next Chief of the Naval Staff after Admiral Nirmal Verma) took over as the DCNS. Vice Admiral Patnaik has become the Chief of Naval Personnel and there's speculation that VADM Chopra (who once was the favourite of the present CNS Admiral Nirmal Verma to become the VCNS) will instead relieve VADM Anoop Singh as FOC-in-C ENC (he was the first CO of INS Delhi and I had the opportunity to meet him on board this DDG in December 1997 (this was its maiden voyage and she sailed straight from Mumbai to Langkawi for the LIMA 2007 expo) along with the then Cmdre D K Joshi who then was India's Defence Adviser in Singapore and who also went to Langkawi at that time to get a feel of INS Delhi) to on October 1. One also wonders who will be the next DG of ICGS--VADM Murugesan or VADM Biloo Chauhan.

Cost-effective IPv6 Managed Gigabit Switch Solution for SMB Nowadays, lots of electronic products or mobile devices come with Internet access, which means the need of IP address increases. However, the current IPv4 network infrastructure is not capable enough to provide IP address to each single user / client. The situation forces the ISP to build the IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) network infrastructure speedily. To fulfill the demand, PLANET has released the IPv6 management Gigabit Ethernet Switch, the WGSW-24040 series, which supports both IPv4 and IPv6 management functions. It can work with original network structure (IPv4) and also support the new network structure (IPv6) in the future. With easy and friendly management interfaces and plenty of management functions included, the WGSW-24040 series is the best choice for ISP to build the IPv6 FTTx edge service and for SMB to connect with the IPv6 network.Read More

A new B.C. government grey wolf draft management plan has found the species has largely recovered across the province after persecution last century. Grey wolves are now "not at risk" and have a, "widespread, large population with no evidence of decline over the last 10 years," finds the report released Nov. 14.
The recovery follows "persecution" through much of the 20th Century; their population and ranges decreased due to poisoning, trapping and other targeted efforts to reduce grey wolf populations, the report states.
Of particular local interest to Revelstoke, the plan supports hunting, trapping and potentially shooting wolves from helicopters in order to aid recovery of species at risk, specifically mountain caribou.
The plan outlines how decisions to reduce wolves would be made. It favours short-term reduction efforts, noting the inter-relationship between predator and prey is very complex. Successful intervention will rely on much existing research done over the past decade and ongoing monitoring, the plan states.
"Intensive wolf reductions should be viewed as a short-term treatment rather than a long-term cure," it says. "To reduce wolves over the long term requires a reduction in the abundance of their primary ungulate prey."
The plan also supports hunting and trapping wolves to reduce their threat to livestock.
It does not support hunting or trapping wolves in order to increase ungulate populations for hunting, as was done during the 1980s when wolves were shot from helicopters causing much controversy.
That wolf kills are highly controversial in B.C. is acknowledged throughout the report: "The species attracts a highly polarized debate between those who see the wolves as emblematic of B.C.'s wilderness heritage and those who see them as a threat to game species, agricultural interests, and human safety," it notes.
The B.C. government is seeking public input on the draft management plan until Dec. 5.

Whether visiting Snowshoe for its well-known ski resort, cultural attractions, or off-season outdoor activities, you are sure to have a great time in this family friendly mountain area. If you are planning a trip to Snowshoe, why not try renting a vacation home instead of a hotel? Vacation rentals offer all the benefits of having your very own home away from home, and there is sure to be one to suit your needs. Whether you want a cozy rental condo for two, or need a five bedroom house to accommodate your entire family, there are Snowshoe vacation rentals to fit any size group or budget. Rental homes are the perfect way to make a vacation even more comfortable and personal so you can enjoy your trip exactly how you imagined it.
The name Snowshoe itself conjures images of fresh powdery snow, and it holds true to that image with Snowshoe Mountain Resort, where you can ski the day away. Snowshoe Mountain Tubing Park has areas for snowboarding and tubing as well, so you can enjoy the mountain snow whichever way you like.

Vacation rentals are a more spacious and private option that is great for families, and can even save you money.
If you have traveled with a large group, you know that booking extra hotel rooms can be inconvenient and expensive. Luckily, there are vacation rentals available to fit even the largest groups without the headache of booking all those extra rooms. Planning on staying in Snowshoe for a while? Many rental homes offer discounts on extended stay, so you can save money for sticking around even longer. You can enjoy all the benefits of renting a vacation home and even save money for an extra trip down the slopes, making vacation rentals a true win-win situation.

NL DIVISION SERIES: ROCKIES v PHILLIES
October 3, 2007
Kyle Kendrick
Charlie Manuel
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: Game One
Q. In the lineup you have Victorino and you've been going with Jayson Werth, why do you go with Victorino?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Tough decision. My toughest decision today. I liked Victorino, I thought about it all night and I like Victorino basically because of the speed at the top of the order, switch-hitter, and we want to take advantage and see if we can get some runs as far as maybe stealing a bag. And wagered that, the defense is real close, I just looked at the speed and the fact that Victorino was one for three off of him and Jayson in his career, I think this year was 0-for-1, a couple walks, about you career-wise, he was 3-for-10.
And I picked Victorino because of his speed, mostly.
Q. Could you please tell us about the decision to put Ruiz in, and what helped you make the decision?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Got here at 8:00 this morning. Worked Ruiz out and he had good movement in his left arm, and he could also reach, catch the ball. And swung the bat real good. I watched him through BP and everything, too, but once I seen him, I wanted to put him in there. He showed me he's healthy enough.
Q. You've gone with Carlos pretty much consistently down the stretch. Why him; do you think the pitchers are more comfortable with him? He doesn't seem to be swinging a particularly hot bat. Why Ruiz so much lately?
CHARLIE MANUEL: I think I've been liking the way that pitchers have been -- I've been liking the way the pitchers have been throwing him, I like the way he handles him. Of course I like his defense and I like his throwing. Also, he can get a big hit for you. His bat, as far as that goes, if he's struggling a little bit, like he can always -- he can always come up it seems like with a big hit in the game for us.
Q. Kyle, based on where you started your year, did you ever think you would be in this spot, and what are your impressions heading into what is the biggest game of your life?
KYLE KENDRICK: No, I didn't think I was going to be here but I am here and I'm just trying to help our team win. I'm going to go out tomorrow and just take it as another game. Obviously it's a bigger game. I'm just going to do my thing.
Q. Kyle, you never seem to get too excited all year for a kid who went from Astros to winning ten games. Will you be nervous tomorrow? Has it hit you yet what this season has been like for you? It doesn't happen very often.
KYLE KENDRICK: You know, I get nervous every game. I'll be nervous but I'm not any more nervous -- it's just another game. But once I get on the mound, I'll be ready to go.
Q. Kyle, this being your first divisional playoff, is there a different way that you're going to prepare for this; will you prepare for it the same way? And do you seek out the experience of a guy like Jamie Moyer?
KYLE KENDRICK: You know, I'm going to prepare for it the same way. I faced him twice already. You know, I'm just going to look back on film and what I did to the guys, probably the same way we went over the scouting report against him.
Yeah, I talked to Jamie already. I'm ready to go, I'm excited.
Q. How much has Milt Thompson been an influence on your hitters this year? You have one of the top-hitting lineups in the National League over the last couple of years.
CHARLIE MANUEL: Well, Thompson is our hitting coach, and I talk to him a lot about hitting. If I ever say anything to a hitter or something, I'd say, almost 100% of the time, Milt is always there to hear what I have to say, but most of the time I like to have the coaches work in their area and they are held accountable for their area, so why not let them do their job.
Q. Can you talk about facing this lineup and the challenge of facing Colorado, especially you pitched against them twice, what is that like?
KYLE KENDRICK: Obviously they have a good lineup and they have some guys with power and can swing the bats.
You've got to mix it up, move the ball in and out, up-and-down, obviously they have a good lineup. So I'm going to go out tomorrow, you have to go out ask get ahead and do what I've been doing all year.
Q. How has Jamie helped you this year and what have you learned from him?
KYLE KENDRICK: He's helped me tremendously. Obviously he's been around a long time. I just pick his brain whenever I have to go ask a question. He's helped a lot. He's been a big help to me and I thank him for that.
Q. Kyle, was there ever a point in the season when you felt that you belonged in the Major Leagues? I'm sure when you first came up, you were probably wondering, can I make it here and everything like that, but at what point did you feel like you did?
KYLE KENDRICK: I don't know if there was a point where -- it was just like, you know, I can pitch here. I was just asking quality outings every game, it gives you confidence and you feel you can go out there and give your team a chance to win. If I can give quality outings and a pitch to even the game, that's all I can ask for.
Q. A lot of the coaches on this staff were with you while you were managing the Indians, have you stayed in contact with them and have you been rooting for them as they have been trying to get to the playoffs as well?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Not a whole lot. I've been following them. I'm sure they have been following us.
Yeah, I'd like to see us go to the World Series and beat the Cleveland Indians. That would be good. But as far as keeping in contact with them, I have enough work to do here.
Q. How much did the fans this year warm up to this team? This seems to be more of a love affair with this team than in the past.
CHARLIE MANUEL: I think it started last year. I think it started the second half of the season after trade deadline and we kind of changed our team around, and you've seen guys like Victorino, and our lineup kind of changed and we got what you call more speed, more effort and effort creates energy. When you have Ryan Howard hitting 58 home runs and you have Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins and these guys hitting the ball, I think they look at the way they played; and I think that's what they fell in love with. They were looking for the same thing when the season started, and finally we got going and they stayed the course.
The fans this year, attendance speaks for itself. Our fans have been fantastic.
Q. Regarding Kyle, what caught your eye early when he got called up?
CHARLIE MANUEL: When Kyle first came up, I thought like -- I knew him, I met him in rookie ball. I used to talk to him and I used to talk to him about his pitching at times. He wouldn't be here today if I wouldn't told him everything about his mechanics and all that. (Laughter.)
I'm glad he kind of listened to me -- no. (Laughing).
No, I met him when he was a rookie and I liked talked to him. This year in Spring Training I saw him and he had got bigger and he's grown some and he's put on a little more weight. And I'd see the reports every day from Astros and I could tell how good he was pitching and everything.
So when he first came here, actually, it was kind of a look/see basis, he was coming to fill a stop-gap for us and we would evaluate where he's at and everything. He's the guy that jumped out and he did his job early and the better he pitched, of course, the more he got to pitch. And the more he got to pitch, he'll probably tell you, his confidence grew and he just kept right on going. He's been there ever since and he's won ten games and he's a big reason why we're here today.
Q. You mentioned the leg injury and looking back, it looked really bad; you had to be helped off the field. Were you concerned at that point that it was something pretty serious and that your season could have been in danger?
KYLE KENDRICK: Yeah, obviously it hurt and had X-rays and everything and the next day after icing, it felt a lot better. Yeah, it was a little scary, but, you know, we did a good job taking care of it, and, you know, glad I didn't miss a start.
Q. All four National League teams in the playoffs are relatively inexperienced which is really unusual. Is there any comfort in that for you? Does that level the playing field at all in your mind?
CHARLIE MANUEL: You know what, I looked at all four of those teams, and of course, I've seen them play this year and we've played them and I keep up with them. And actually all four of them, pretty close, as far as the teams go as far as talent; they are different in some ways but at the same time, I look at them as all four of them are very, very close as far as the way they play and ability. I think it's going to be a good series. I think all four teams could definitely win it.
Q. Is experience important?
CHARLIE MANUEL: I think any time you get experience, especially the more times you've been there and age-wise and things like that, I think that's important. But at the same time, people are always stepping up and you know, like if you -- I look at it as when you see somebody like Arizona has got some young players; you know, at times, they definitely, they can shine and everything. I don't think -- I don't see how the playoffs are going to bother them as far as how they play. I think if anything, they will be inspired and they will be ready to go. I think experience-wise, Chicago Cubs on the field has probably got more experience as far as playing-wise.
We've got some depth on our team, especially in our pitching. But at the same time, the Rockies are young, but I look for these games to be real close. I don't think experience will have a whole lot to do with it except maybe in the pitching line.
Q. Charlie, you mentioned when Kyle first came up he was seen as a stop-gap. What would you have done if he didn't work out, if he didn't pitch the way he did the rest of the season?
CHARLIE MANUEL: I think if -- first of all, if I think he was struggling or something like that; if there would have been a time if we could are have moved him, we probably would have sent him back and pitch and let him get more experience.
But what happened, the more good outings he started giving us and he got consistent; he earned his chances, and it's kind of like earning your wing kind of thing. He got in there and got going. He was good enough to stay in our rotation, and that's kind of how I look at it.
I'm always for the guy, the better you play or the better you pitch, the more you get to pitch and the more you get to play if you're a player. He earned everything that he's done this year and I look forward, he's going to be a tremendous big league pitcher.

Intersting to see the number of pros' bikes at the Tour grand depart last week sporting an alu bar/carbon stem combo. Cav obviously, but also pretty much the entire RSNT team too.
The 3T Ergosum Team bar is a high-performing carbon handlebar boasting a modern shape. It provides a great interface with the hoods combined with a shallow drop that most should find comfortable to reach. But, at over 3 times the price of its aluminium understudy it is a high price to pay for only 40g of weight saving.
Most of 3T's products come in a 3 tier 'good, better, best' system or Pro, Team and LTD as it's coined. As such the Ergosum Team bars on test sit in the middle of that hierarchy with an aluminium version below and a lighter HM carbon above it. The Ergosum comes in 3 width options: 40, 42 and 44.
Price wise the £200 tag is not offensive for a carbon road handle bar. In fact they are a touch cheaper than several competitors, such as USE and Ritchey. The bar's published 201g weight for the 42cm is fairly standard at this price and material combination; give or take 5 to 10g.
3T offers three shapes of road bar all with very different styles. The Ergosum follows the current trend for shallow drops at 128mm, the same as a Ritchey Evocurve, which should be reachable and sustainable for most. Despite being a shallow drop the reach is relatively long for the 128mm drop at 89mm. You can think about this as a longer reach bar, or flip your perspective and for the same hood position the tops are closer to you (providing you change your stem). I like this combination which has worked well with a 110mm stem on my 56cm bike with a hood based riding style.
Drop and reach dimensions aside it is the interface with the levers which is the real signature shape of this bar. The very tight bend radius, where the hoods mount, means the angle of the lever can be set up without a minimal change in height relative to the tops. Using SRAM levers I managed to achieve a perfectly flat, and as such very comfortable, transition between hood and bar; with the drops still in the correct position. An uncomfortable, lumpy and messy interface between hood and bars are one of my biggest pet-hates on a road bike.
There is plenty of room for mounting accessories on the large and clearly defined 31.8mm section at the centre. Whereas some bars taper gently from the centre the Ergosum feature more of a step-down in diameter; having the effect of extending the available clamping space. 3T also clear the Team edition for use with clip-on aerobars unlike the lighter LTD version.
Out on the road the vibration damping is good. The Ergosum is a noticeable improvement over the Ritchey aluminium bar it replaced. However, for the more attacking rider it comes at a price. Bar stiffness, although ample when on the hoods, is significantly and appreciably lower from the drops. For the style of rider this bar will attract it shouldn't be a problem; if your friends call you "the gorilla" perhaps you might look for something stiffer.
From a manufacturing point of view the complexity of the shape and the size of the required mould make carbon road handlebars an expensive option; often without any significant weight saving. The Ergosum Team is a great handlebar but its main competition is surely from the aluminium Pro model. The Ergosum Pro has only a 40gram weight penalty with £140 cash back versus the Team; which in my opinion gives a much better overall package for most riders. I certainly know where my money would go.
Well-priced, well made carbon handlebar providing a variety of comfortable hand positions but bangs per buck the aluminium version is a better deal

road.cc test report
Make and model: 3T ErgoSum Team Bar
Size tested: 44cm Carbon/Red
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Aimed at the demands of the modern hood-based riding style. Focus of the shape is on the interface with the levers combined with an in-fashion shallow drop
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
89mm reach and 128mm drop with plenty of room for accessory clamping
Head of Engineering Richain McAinsh is a well known name in the composite engineering world after years spent as head of composites in various F1 teams. It shows with a well made and well finished bar
A well thought out shape which in a light but not amazingly stiff package.
Of all the parts on a bike most likely to take a knock in a crash the handlebar has to be the winner. Given the failure capacity of post-crash carbon from invisible damage a aluminium bar might be better for most racers.
Pretty standard 200 or so grams for a £200 bar.
As in the article - great interface with the hoods
Cheaper than equivalent spec from USE and Ritchey for a composite bar.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes.
Would you consider buying the product? Yes - but would probably go for the cheaper Pro model.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes.

I have these bars but in aluminum. Amazing product - fits me perfectly with its minimalistic drop. And the lowers are so long that I could easily change my hand position while still remaining in the drops!
Honestly speaking, I also think that the black-and-white scheme of Pro version looks way better than black-and-red on Team bars.
This is my perfect bar, once I found it I've never looked at another.
I have a LTD version on by "best bike" Team on the sportive basher and Pro on the commuter. I don't notice any difference in stiffness across the range, which is impressive given the weight of the LTD version

If ka wills it, so be it
Yes, I do.
No, I don't.
If ka wills it, so be it
I believe!
Only when we are open to belief van we see / witness it.
Ka leads us to points in our lives that we must visit or a reason but with our eyes closed we miss all the heavenly glory. There was a belief that we thought life into existence, Ka works along the same path, we can tell it what we need (see it, feel it) and leave the rest to Ka...
In ancient Egypt, I believe, Ka was basically one's soul or self. It was the essence of a person that had to be preserved for the afterlife. But since I'm definitely not a scholar of ancient history, I have to wonder (rather than know) if that concept wasn't broader. Could that have been the inspiration for Stephen King's "Ka" which seems to mean Fate/Destiny more than anything else?

Click the table of contents to start reading.
... a first class learning experience that is tough to quantify but easy to qualify: Don't miss it.
Flexible Rails is a book about how to use Ruby on Rails and Adobe Flex to build next-generation rich Internet applications (RIAs). The book takes you to the leading edge of RIA development, presenting examples in Flex 3 and Rails 2.
This book is not an exhaustive Ruby on Rails tutorial, nor a Flex reference manual. (Adobe ships over 3000 pages of PDF reference documentation with Flex.) Instead, it's an extensive tutorial, developed iteratively, how to build an RIA using Flex and Rails together. You learn both the specific techniques you need to use Flex and Rails together as well as the development practices that make the combination especially powerful.
The example application built in the book is MIT-licensed, so readers can use it as the basis for their own applications. In fact, one reader has already built an agile project management tool based on the book example!

Appendix A: How to use Subversion with Flex + Rails
Appendix B: Handwaving at omitted topics
About the Technology
Rails is a fantastic tool for web application development, but its Ajax-driven interfaces stop short of the richness you gain with a tool like Adobe Flex. Simply put, Flex is the most productive way to build the UI of rich Internet applications, and Rails is the most productive way to rapidly build a database-backed CRUD application. Together, they're an amazing combination.
About the book
With this book, you learn Flex by osmosis. You can read the book and follow along even if you have never used Flex before. Consider it "Flex Immersion." You absorb the key concepts of Flex as you go through the process of building the application.
You will also learn how Flex and Rails integrate with HTTPService and XML, and see how RESTful Rails controller design gracefully supports using the same controller actions for Flex and HTML clients. The author will show you how Cairngorm can be used to architect larger Flex applications, including tips to use Cairngorm in a less verbose way with HTTPService to talk to Rails.
What's inside
- Flex 3 and Ruby on Rails 2 integrated with HTTPService and XML
- RESTful Rails controllers that support Flex and HTML clients
- Coverage of how to use Cairngorm to architect larger Flex applications
- A full application--not just a toy--developed and refactored iteratively
About the reader
Flexible Rails is for both Rails developers who are interested in Flex, and Flex developers who are interested in Rails. For a Rails developer, Flex allows for more dynamic and engaging user interfaces than are possible with Ajax. For a Flex developer, Rails provides a way to rapidly build the ORM and services layer of the application.
About the author
Peter Armstrong has been developing rich client applications for over 7 years. He worked with Flex full-time from July 2004 (since Flex 1.0) to October 2007 for a Silicon Valley startup, and was part of the team that won the 2006 Adobe MAX Award for RIA/Web Development. Before that, he was a Java Swing developer for over 4 years for another Silicon Valley startup. On the Rails side, Peter has been tracking Ruby on Rails since mid-2005 (since before Rails 1.0) and is the organizer of The Vancouver Ruby/Rails Meetup group. Peter is also a frequent speaker on using Flex and Rails together, including presentations at The Vancouver Flash/Flex Meetup, a RailsConf 2007 BOF, The Vancouver RIA Developer Camp and Rails to Italy in Pisa. Peter lives in the Vancouver, BC area and works as a Flex/AIR/Flash developer, writer (www.flexiblerails.com) and independent consultant (www.ruboss.com).

Commercial, Training
By By Ed Van Winkle | February 1, 2010
Send Feedback
For helicopter pilots and CFIIs, the use and maintenance of our instrument ratings in the helicopter world is very different than for fixed-wing pilots. It is common for helicopter pilots to obtain their commercial rating without obtaining an instrument rating first, and those of use who have an instrument, ATP or CFII rating do not always have the same opportunities to fly in actual instrument conditions as most fixed-wing pilots. Instrument-rated fixed-wing pilots are much more likely to actually use their ratings, since even small single-engine planes available for rent at the local FBO are rated for instrument flight and equipped for it.
The most common helicopters used for flight training and available for rental are single-engine piston models. Though these helicopters can be equipped for instrument instruction and used for check rides, they are not certified for flight in actual instrument conditions. Furthermore, many experienced helicopter pilots with instrument, ATP or CFII ratings do not work in instrument-certified twin-engine helicopters. So, the result is that the helicopter industry has a large number of instrument-rated pilots who never have the opportunity to fly in actual instrument conditions and who do not maintain instrument currency.
This situation is simple for most helicopter pilots—accept the fact that you will never fly in actual instrument conditions and instead use your instrument rating as a resumé-builder. Your next boss will appreciate the sacrifice you made and might pay you a bit more than the other person who doesn't have an instrument rating. Since you knew that you would likely never use your instrument rating anyway, this won't cause too much grief.
But what about all of that stuff your early flight instructors told you about how an instrument rating will make you a better VFR pilot? Should you abandon everything you learned and just "move on?"
Nonsense! Even though most helicopters used as instrument trainers are not instrument certified, most single engine turbine helicopters used in commercial operations are equipped with a six-pack of instruments and a GPS that can be used to enhance the pilot's ability to fly any type of mission. Some are even equipped with modern glass cockpit displays to replace the familiar six-pack of instruments. Though there aren't any single-engine helicopters rated for single-pilot instrument flight, that doesn't minimize the importance of maintaining instrument proficiency. Since it is possible for any helicopter pilot to get into inadvertent IMC, it could be your (unused) instrument rating that is the difference between life and death in an emergency.
So how can helicopter pilots maintain instrument currency and increase their instrument flying prowess? The easy answer is to go down to your local helicopter flight school, rent an instrument trainer and a CFII, and fly six instrument approaches, one holding pattern and track to a fix every six months (you already knew this!). However, paying for a few flight hours every six months can get expensive real fast, even for well-paid helicopter pilots. A less expensive option is to rent the flight school's instrument simulator and a CFII and do instrument approaches at the airports of your choice in simulated instrument conditions without starting an engine.
Another option is to mix the previous solutions and fly for an hour in the instrument trainer, while completing the remaining requirements in the flight simulator. Combining actual flying and simulation may be the ideal mix that won't break the budget of most pilots who want to maintain instrument currency.
All of these methods will keep you legally current to fly in actual instrument conditions or to respond to the emergency created by flying into inadvertent IMC (though we all know that meeting minimum requirements does not necessarily make us instrument proficient).
If you fly for an operation that gives you the freedom to practice instrument approaches with a safety pilot or instructor, then there is no reason to lose your instrument currency. But most helicopter operators are in business to make money, which prevents pilots from doing this type of "training" on the company's dime.
However, most of us fly into and out of airports on a daily basis, and most of these airports have multiple instrument approaches. When coming into the airport (with a safety pilot or instructor present), make an instrument approach to the runway instead of directly to your landing pad. Fly one of these approaches every other week or once a month, and work in some tracking and a hold, and you'll stay legally current in case of an emergency.
What if you fly a helicopter that doesn't have a six-pack of instruments or a GPS? How can you maintain some level of instrument skill that can save you in an emergency? Get a CFII buddy to work with you on basic instrument flying skills—maintaining heading, altitude and airspeed. Fly some standard rate turns (if you have a turn coordinator) and also practice recovering from a few unusual attitudes.
Another skill that doesn't require a GPS or other helicopter equipment for instrument approaches is the ability to follow ATC instructions to set you up for an ASR (airport surveillance radar) or PAR (precision approach radar) approach. If you get into inadvertent IMC conditions, having practiced declaring an emergency and having ATC (your safety pilot or CFII) talk you through a simulated approach can help prepare you for "the big one" if it ever happens. Just keep in mind that not all ATC controllers are certified or current in talking you through an ASR or PAR approach.
Helicopter pilots don't need a lot of simulated instrument flying or a lot of money to maintain a basic level of proficiency on instruments. We all learned early in our flight training to trust our instruments. If we ever experience spatial disorientation or inadvertent IMC, the work we do to prepare for these emergencies will eliminate surprises and help us work to a successful resolution. Can any of us afford not to maintain our instrument flying capabilities?

The bike's headset is one of those less-obvious parts that are easy to overlook, but crucial.
The headset is a collection of cups and bearings that fit into your bike's head tube (the shortest tube at the front of your frame, through which the fork connects to the stem and handlebars).
Most headsets will feature a top and bottom bearing, which enable your handlebars to turn smoothly for accurate steering. These bearings are secured via various cups/races and seals, the design and number of which will vary according to frame and headset type, a top cap and bolt, and an expanding 'star nut' that fits inside the fork steerer tube.
A correctly-fitted headset will allow the fork's steerer tube to turn smoothly and freely inside the frame without any excess movement back and forth (play) Along with the bottom bracket the headset is one of the bike's two main bearings and ideally should provide a long life of smooth and trouble-free performance.
Tough riding conditions – wet weather and mud especially- as well as the demands of some riding disciplines can shorten the life of a headset, which is where extra investment in a high-end unit with quality sealed bearings could pay off in the long run.
When your headset is working as it should, you won't even notice it, but old, worn bearings will hamper your steering (giving you a crunchy, gritty feel when you turn the bars) and a loose headset can damage your frame and potentially be dangerous.
For MTB and road bikes there are numerous different types of headset available, choice of which may largely be determined by the type of head tube on your frame.
Historically, there were two most important headset standards - threaded and non-threaded or 'Aheadset'
A Threaded Headset: -
A Threadless Headset: -
A Nice Comparison: -
The older type of threaded headset – recognisable by its two large nuts between the stem and the top of the head tube – fit forks with threaded steerer tubes, typically of 1" diameter. However these are increasingly rare and now threaded headsets are generally only found on older bikes, vintage-style commuter bikes (the Dutch-type city bike, for example) and on some bikes at the budget end of the range.
Threaded headsets feature an adjustable bearing race screwed onto the fork steerer and secured by a locknut, meaning two special spanners are required to adjust the bearings.
The threaded headset has largely been superseded by the threadless or Aheadset type. Rather than having nuts which screw onto a threaded fork steerer, the threadless headset is used in conjunction with a stem that clamps to the steerer tube by means of one or more pinch bolts. The Aheadset type of threadless headset features a special star-fangled nut (SFN) which is installed inside the fork's steerer tube. The headset's top cap meanwhile sits on the top of the steerer tube and is connect to the SFN by a threaded metal rod. Tightening this rod with an Allen key secures all of the elements – top and bottom races, bearings and seals - and eliminates play in the headset.
Recent years have seen a number of new developments in terms of threadless headsets, with several different types available. The most important ones to know about are integrated, internal, standard and tapered.
Also of importance are head tube size, headset type and bearing/seal type.
Your replacement headset will likely be determined by your frame type – a frame and fork setup requiring a threadless, integrated, tapered headset, for example, will limit your options – but it's useful to know about the different types so the choice won't seem so confusing.
Head Tube Size
When choosing a new headset it's important to match the size to the diameter of the fork steerer, which in turn will correspond to the inside diameter of the head tube. The most common steerer diameters are 1", 1 1/8", 1.5" and tapered.
• 1": Typically, the older-style threaded headsets will be found on bikes with a 1" threaded fork steerer (although 1" threadless headsets are available).
• 1 1/8": The standard fork steerer diameter for most road and MTB bikes is 1 1/8".
• 1.5": Some modern gravity bikes or speciality road bikes use 1.5" fork steerers and correspondingly larger head tubes for extra strength and front-end stiffness.
• Tapered: A new trend has emerged in road and MTB for tapered head tubes with a steerer diameter of 1.5" at the bottom and 1 1/8" at the top. This results in better stiffness up front and also enables frame designers to use larger-diameter down tubes, with stiffness benefits in the bottom bracket area. Tapered head tubes are designed to be used with forks that have tapered steerer tubes, and with appropriate headsets, but you can get reducers to enable 'standard' 1 1/8" parts be used in frames with tapered head tubes.
NOTE: The diameter of the fork steerer and the internal diameter of the head tube are different. However sometimes people regard them as interchangeable, and may refer to a head tube designed for the 1 1/8" steerer standard as a "1 1/8" head tube". Strictly speaking, this isn't necessarily accurate as a frame designed for a 1 1/8" fork may have head tube with a larger internal diameter to accommodate an internal or 'zero stack' headset. If you're looking up frame geometries you may see reference to a '44mm head tube' – this is what they are talking about.
Headset Type
There are different types of threadless headsets, the most important being integrated, internal, and standard.
• Integrated headsets are used on frames where the head tube is machined so that the top and bottom bearings can fit directly into the frame, eliminating the need for extra bearing cups and enabling the bearings to sit flush with the frame for an attractive, clean look. Because they have less parts, they are a little lighter than other headset options. They are often used on road and MTB racing bikes and are especially common on bikes with tapered head tubes, as the lack of a lower external bearing race means more surface area for the down tube joint and a neater, more aerodynamic interface between fork crown and head tube.
• Internal headsets are for bikes without machined head tubes and require aluminium cups to be pressed into the top and bottom of the tube so that the bearings can sit into them. They are similar to integrated headsets – and sometimes referred to as 'semi-integrated' – but the difference is that the bearing races are separate components, rather than being integral parts of the head tube. It can sometimes be hard to distinguish whether your bike is using an integrated or internal headset.
• External headsets are also known as 'standard' headsets. This is the traditional type of threadless Aheadset which has upper and lower bearing races pressed into the frame, with the bearings positioned outside the head tube (as opposed to inside, in the case of integrated and internal headsets). These can typically be found on bikes with 'straight' 1 1/8" head tubes (as opposed to tapered models).
NOTE : Headset type is not an indicator of quality. Integrated or internal headsets are not 'better' than standard ones, but are rather designed to work with particular schools of frame design, and materials such as aluminium and carbon fibre which require the use of large-diameter, thin-walled frame tubes, as opposed to steel or titanium bikes which use smaller-diameter tubes.

|Proposed for Deletion
|This page has been proposed for deletion for the following reason:
it has been moved to community.kde.org
find latest status of new website redesign (2010) here: Neverendingo
This document outlines a plan for moving the KDE.org family of websites to a content management system (CMS) and explores future improvements to KDE websites.
The current state of the kde family of websites is quite poor. There are numerous pages and subdomain websites which are out of date, inaccurate or both. Compounding this problem is the lack of any specific maintainers for pages and for subdomain sites.
As well as having a rather large website at kde.org, there are also over 20 sub-domains (each with an independent website), hosted beneath kde.org
I've taken this list from http://www.kde.org/family/. Also, the current status of the kde.org sub domains can be viewed here: Projects/kde.org/Site Status. Please note that these lists may be out of date and incomplete.
As the scope of the KDE project grows, the ability of the KDE family of websites to scale and meet the demands of an increasingly large userbase will become increasingly important. These websites will need to make it efficient to find news, documentation and other content. These websites will also have to foster a community of collaboration among developers and users.
To accomplish these goals, a platform which can support thousands of users will need to be adopted.
Why Drupal?
Converting current website pages to Drupal pages
One of the main things that came out of Akademy 2008 was 'brining the KDE community to the desktop'. What does this mean? Ideas like 'seeing KDE users nearby' is a good example.
We all know that KDE has a large community that is going through a new phase of growth. Because of this, coordinating, designing and maintaining open collaboration services given the existing scattered state of different sections of the community would be almost impossible. And even if it was possible, maintaining the resulting mess would be an effective step backwards.
If we were able to centrally manage communities and services such as kde-look.org, kde.org and its sub-websites, svn, mailing lists, Amarok, Konversation, etc. then Open Collaboration services would be doable and far more powerful than previously possible.
If you think about the idea behind Akonadi (http://pim.kde.org/akonadi/), why don't we apply this to the KDE web community? Also, once we've done that, why don't we build our own web based 'Nepomuk'? Why not build the KDE community on these same 'pillars' as the desktop? This would make Open Collaboration services one of the most advanced out there for any community and allow the users of KDE unprecedented ease of use and integration with each other. Of course, due appreciation of privacy and security need to be taken into account. And once again, having centralized management would make maintaining privacy and security a lot easier.

The Mousetrap now booking to 21 Dec 2013
Agatha Christie's long running thriller The Mousetrap , has extended its booking period and is now selling tickets through to 21 Dec 2013 at the St Martin's Theatre.
Currently directed by Geoff Bullen, The Mousetrap's plot is one of the West End's best-kept secrets, and audiences are requested to keep the identity of the killer locked in their hearts.
A group of people gathered together in a remote part of the countryside discover there is a murderer in their midst. The question is which one of them is the guilty party.
Originally written as a radio play, the world's longest running play has now chalked up over 23,000 performances.
Over ten million people have been to see the Agatha Christie classic since it opened on 25th Nov 1952 with Richard Attenborough and Sheila Simms in the leading roles. Since then over 382 actors and actresses have appeared in the play, which has been presented in 44 countries and translated into 24 different languages.
In 2000 the set was replaced for the first time during the run at St Martin's Theatre, still to the same design as the original. This task was completed over a weekend without the loss of a performance.
In the world's worst film deal, the movie rights to The Mousetrap were sold in 1956 - with the proviso that the film could not be released until six months after the end of the London stage run.
One actor, David Raven, played Major Metcalf for 4575 performances from July 1958 to November 1968.
Nancy Seabrooke, understudied the role of Mrs Boyle for 6,240 performances for 15 years, ending in 1994. She appeared 72 times.
Agatha Christie became a Dame of the British Empire in 1971; she died on the 12th January 1976 aged 85.

Rotting veggies, manure, worms, creepy crawly bugs of all kinds turn you on? No? They should. Getting your kitchen scraps, animal crap, and lawn clippings to nourish your soil so that you can grow your own food is totally sexy. Especially if you can do it in 17 days, a decomposition "quickie" so to speak.
On average, compost takes almost a year to fully decompose into luscious, crumbly hummus - that good coffee brown stuff that is like steroids for plants. AND you have to turn it with a pitchfork, which can be one foul smelling chore. Not so with a compost tumbler. This gadget is the total bomb. Give this puppy a daily spin and in a couple weeks you'll have quality dirt. But buying one can be pricey. So why purchase one when you can easily make your own? I picked up this compost bin on Freecycle:
I think it was meant to be able to turn, however that has been a fairly cumbersome operation in my experience. I decided to get it off the ground for easier tumbling. If you don't have a fabu bin like mine, just pick up one of those 55 gallon plastic food grade barrels with screw top lid. They are always for sale on Craigslist. Make sure you drill holes in the bin as compost requires aeration, otherwise you end up with anaerobic nastiness.
First I took some crappy scrap wood and made some posts.
Then I made some cross bar like things and nailed them to the crappy wood posts and put a metal bar through the bin, like this:
My disgruntled farmhand and I then mounted the barrel onto the posts. Voila! Sexy composting.

On Bill Bennett's radio show this morning, Senator Ted Cruz welcomed President Obama's recent efforts toward partisan peacemaking.
President Obama had dinner with Republican Senators last week, and had lunch with chairman of the House Budget Committee Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., the following day. Both meetings were discussions on finding a bipartisan budget solution.
Cruz said his appreciation for the president's outreach might surprise those who characterize him as a "wild-eyed tea party fellow", but he has wanted to work with the President from his first day in office, given the president is was "willing to get serious about solving the grave economic and fiscal challenges."
"I think we should always be willing to listen. I think we should always treat each other with civility and respect. I'm glad that he is reaching out, that is better than what I have seen the first couple of months here where it seemed he had no interest whatsoever in talking and working with the other side," Cruz said.
Other Senate Republicans agree. Fellow Tea Party member Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said that he is giving the president the benefit of the doubt. Paul Ryan, who shared lunch with the president last week, thanked the President for the "frank discussion" on budget challenges. Paul Ryan said this was the first conversation he has shared with the President lasting longer than a few minutes.
President Obama is expected to continue 'courting' Republicans this week. Obama will meet with the House Republican Conference on Wednesday and is expected to attend the Senate GOP's luncheon on Thursday for the first time since 2010.
"Senate Republicans welcome the president to the Capitol. And I appreciate he took my recommendation to hear from all of my members," Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement.

Court stays EPA's Cross State Air Pollution Rule in Texas
- Details
- Category: News
- Published on 05 January 2012
- Written by Mount Vernon Optic-Herald
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted he State of Texas' request to stay the Environmental Protection Agency's cross-state air pollution rule on Friday, Dec. 30.
The move delays the January 1 implementation of the rule.
The EPA finalized the rule July 8, setting stricter limits on sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions from power plants in 27 states. Since then, several states and power producers have sued the EPA, saying the original January 1 start date did not provide enough time to meet limits on the greenhouse gases. For more information, see the January 5 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald.

Joan's daughter Heather has asked that commemorative loans or donations in memory of her mother should be made through Kiva and the 'Genealogists for Families' project. You can either:
(1) Make an ordinary Kiva loan (our team calls it a 'commemorative loan'), with repayments going to you so that you can re-lend the money over and over again as it is repaid.
(2) Make what Kiva calls a 'dedicated loan'. During the checkout process, in 'My Basket', select the option 'Dedicate this loan'. With a Dedicated Loan, repayments will be donated to Kiva instead of being returned to you.
In her 'Meet the Team' profile, Joan said that she chose field partners with at least a 3-star rating and a low delinquency rate. Several of her loans were to women in the Philippines. For my commemorative loan I therefore followed Joan's example by choosing Luna in the Philippines, who supports her family by making crafts with shells.
Please join me in supporting this non-profit organisation about which Joan was so passionate. She will be missed, but her legacy will live on.

Vienna Boys Choir performs concert at Holy Name of Jesus Church
November 7, 2008
The world-renowned Vienna Boys Choir brings its 500-year-old vocal tradition to Holy Name of Jesus Church at Loyola University New Orleans for a concert on Sunday, Nov. 9, at 3 p.m.
The Vienna Boys Choir delights music lovers across the globe with purity of tone, musical depth and distinctive charm. Offering something for everyone, their concerts combine music with poetry, dance, theater and visual arts.
Founded by imperial order of Emperor Maximilian I in 1498, the Vienna Boys Choir has evolved into a group of 100 choristers between the ages of 10 and 14, who are divided into four touring choirs. Each group spends nine to 11 weeks on tour and gives around 300 performances annually for nearly half a million people. They visit virtually all European countries and are frequent guests in Asia, Australia and the Americas.
The choir's repertoire includes everything from medieval to contemporary works and experimental music, with motets and lieder for the boys' choir forming the core of the touring repertoire. In addition, the choir performs children's operas and major choral and symphonic works. With a goal of introducing the boys to as many different styles of music as possible, the choir has commissioned a number of world music projects as well.
Concert tickets are $25 for general admission and $15 for students and Loyola faculty and staff.

mysql_install_db initializes the MySQL data directory and creates the system tables that it contains, if they do not exist. mysql_install_db is a shell script and is available only on Unix platforms.
To invoke mysql_install_db, use the following syntax:
mysql_install_db [
Because the MySQL server, mysqld, must access
the data directory when it runs later, you should either run
mysql_install_db from the same system account
that will be used for running mysqld, or run
it as
root and specify the
--user option to
indicate the user name that mysqld will run
as. It might be necessary to specify other options such as

--datadir if
mysql_install_db does not use the correct
locations for the installation directory or data directory. For

environment variable to the full path name of a server that has
all options enabled. mysql_install_db will
use that server.
If you have set a custom
