DALLAS (AP) – Mavericks guard Jason Kidd will be out at least a week because of a right calf strain.
Coach Rick Carlisle said before Sunday night's game against San Antonio that Kidd would be out at least a week, and probably longer. The game against the Spurs was the first of five games for Dallas in seven days.
Kidd was wearing a sleeve over his right calf while riding a stationary bicycle before Sunday's game.
Kidd got hurt playing defense just more than 2 minutes into Friday's game victory against Utah.
The 38-year-old Kidd missed four games earlier this month because of a lower back injury. Kidd is averaging 4.1 points and 5.1 assists per game this season.

Indian Company Considers Expanded Role in RR250 Manufacturing
Following seven years of supplying airfoil vanes for Rolls-Royce and its RR250 turboshaft, India's Kwality Products (Booth No. C3508) is gauging interest in producing whole turbine disks. "We are looking at the reaction at Heli-Expo '13, and thinking of approaching Rolls-Royce to do the entire assembly," Kwality Products CEO Anand Uttarkar told AIN. "I think there's a huge cost benefit to moving production of the entire vane assembly to India." Uttarkar added that the company has produced approximately 300,000 airfoil vanes for Rolls-Royce's vendors on the RR250.

Foundations of Photography: Black and White
Your digital camera is capable of producing incredible color images, but color isn't always the best way to represent a scene. By choosing to express a scene in black and white, you're stripping photography down to its barest essentials, and very often, you will achieve an image with more power than if you choose to capture rich, perfect color. This Lynda.com course covers every aspect of digital black and white, recognizing a good black and white scene to shooting, to black and white conversion and further retouching.
If you're new to photography, eliminating color may seem a counter-intuitive idea, but learning to see the world purely as light and shadow can open up a whole new realm of subject matter, and help you see the world around you in a very different way. If you're an old hand at black and white film shooting, then the switch to digital will require some additional skills.
Whatever your skill level, Foundations of Photography: Black and White will get you seeing, shooting, and processing your images in dramatic new ways.

Dear Ben,
First of all, I would like to say how much I love your courses on lynda.com. They are just amazing! I have learnt so much from you.
I have been shooting black & white exclusively for the last couple of months. You mentioned that the whilbal is really useful for getting correct white balance. Since I am shooting B&W, is this relevant?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I am an avid follower of your Lynda.com videos particularly B&W. In your course "landscape photography" Exercise #9 you are using the paint brush a lot. But I am confused about your set up. In the paint colour screen it shows foreground colour black and the background white. The RGB sliders are set to 0. Simiarly the foreground box in the toolbar is the same configuration. But when I try and duplicate the setting my background colour shifts to black when the settings are at 0. In order to get Black foreground and white background all three RGB scales go to 251.
please set me straight & thanks
Peter Toronto PS I really like your low key presentation style
Tell me what you're thinking...

"It's hard for me to imagine being back where I started as a photographer. Photography BlogSites began a new chapter of my business. While re-inventing my brand, I found inspiration in the beautiful and easy-to-customize templates. My friends from the support desk are always quick to answer my questions, and their responses make me feel as if the possibilities for my website are endless. I am an 18-year-old professional photographer who is able to do what he loves and share his art with his community -- all thanks to some pretty nifty tools provided by some of the nicest people on this planet. I look to the future with high hopes, and I plan to bring Photography BlogSites with me as my sole web-design-power!!
- Eli Dagostino (your biggest, 18 year-old fan from Martha's Vineyard)"
Arnica Spring Photography
"After searching the web and looking at hundreds of different websites and templates I finally made the decision to go with Photography Blogsites. The choice was easy! I love the fact that my blog & site were seamless and everything is right there in one spot. They were great in helping me with any issues that I had getting things going and learning the system was so easy! Everything is very customizable and they just give you the basics to start with. Thanks so much! I love my blogsite!"
-Arnica Spring
Jenn Weis Photography
"First, let me say that I wish I would have known about Photography BlogSites long ago. After many frustrating attempts with other companies, I had achieved a decent look, but nothing compared to the professional, clean site that I now have! Photographyblogsites.com offers the best platform (Wordpress) available for ease of building a professional site. I was able to create the look I wanted, have a portfolio/blog site in one, and streamline my brand with my own designs seamlessly. In addition to working with a trusted platform, they also use HTML5. Now I do not have to worry about "Flash headaches" again! Another great benefit? Through the partnership of photographyblogsites.comand smugmug.com, my clients can now access my site and go directly to their viewing gallery and back with ease. Plus, with the new customization options, I was also able to design my smugmug gallery to match my photography blogsite- which I absolutely love. They have incredible customer service, an easy to use platform to make your site as unique as you want, beautiful galleries, easy SEO, and pricing that won't break the bank. They are a must for every photographer."
Thank you,
Jenn Weis
Katharine Landmeier Photography
"Just the thought of keeping my Flash site, a blog, an iphone friendly portfolio site, client proofing galleries, and a Facebook page updated and SEO friendly caused workload overload! I have found the perfect marriage of convenience and efficiency, while not compromising my brand or style in Photography Blogsites. The amazing support and customer service is unrivaled - when is the last time you knew your support team by their first names? Thank you Photography BlogSites Team!"
-Katharine Landmeier
Laura Santos Photography
"I had just started to work with Deluxe Modern Design on my new logo design and marketing materials when I mentioned to her that I was really frustrated with my blog and website not being integrated. She told me to check out Photography BlogSites and I fell in love! Now my website and blog have a seamless look, both are in one, easy to use location (saves me a ton of time), SEO optimization, HTML5 (now I don't have to worry about phones that can't view Flash sites), amazing support and ridiculously good customer service!! To top it off, it was such a great price. I could not be happier and the best part... I love that my website and blog don't look like everyone else's!" - Laura Santos Photography
Latasha Haynes Photography
"Before Photography BlogSites we had a blogger site, which is fine, but it wasn't giving us the diversity and features that we were looking for. After meeting the BlogSite team at WPPI 2011, we learned about Photography BlogSites and were SO excited to come back and get to work! We love Photography BlogSites. We love how customizable the layouts are. We love that you can have the option of a blog or blogsite which is perfect for whatever stage of your photography business you're in. Managing the site is easy as the layouts are simple and just work! I look forward to blogging now, where before it seemed like such a task. I completely designed my entire blog from scratch and didn't have to hire a fancy graphic designer. It's really so easy and totally affordable and in this business easy is good!" -Latasha Haynes
Teryn Robinson Photography
"I previously had a flash site with built in proofing galleries that were slow to load, hard for clients to sift through, and could not be viewed on a mobile device. My blog was almost nonexistent as it was a free blogspot I rarely had time to update and it ran completely separate from my website, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I have been completely blown away by the package Photography BlogSites offers. I now have a one stop shop on the web that's quick to load, user friendly, viewable on mobile devices, integrated with SmugMug for proofing, SEO friendly and looks great!! What more could a photographer ask for? Aside from the actual site capabilities their white glove service saved me hours of time transferring everything over from my old site and figuring out how to use the back end. Once it was transferred we had a phone call where they explained the back end to me and how to update it on my own. When I ran into problems getting my domain name transferred over, the support team was amazing!! They were always quick to respond and explained things in ways I could understand (unlike the company I was trying to get my domain from). I just love Photography Blogsites and would recommend them to any photographer!"
-Teryn Robinson
Michael Alan Bielat Photography
"Photography BlogSites has simplified my life and, more importantly, allowed me to reach more clients than ever before! My old Flash site was horrible with Search Engine Optimization and couldn't even be viewed on certain mobile devices and tablets. How lame is that? Photography BlogSites was the answer to my website problems. It was simple to get started and even simpler to customize and update content. I'd have to honestly say that choosing Photography BlogSites was the best decision that I have ever made for my business!"
- Michael Alan Bielat
The Good Photographer
"In a single affordable solution I get amazing photo galleries, a blog powered by Wordpress, SEO optimization, a powerful backend user interface, support from smart people, and easy integration with Album Exposure and SmugMug with more vendors to come. It's also infinitely customizable and looks smoking hot, too. If you are looking for a website/blog solution, my friend, you are done. PB has so many features and is such enormous value, you will be at a competitive disadvantage without it." -Paul Rumohr, The Good Photographer
Bailey Aro Photography
"In our mobile-trending world, it's time to jump on the HTML5 + WordPress bandwagon, and Photography BlogSites is ahead of the curve in the best way. This isn't your average humdrum set of website templates. PBlogSites provides creatives with fully customizable tools for integrating your brand identity with your web presence. The backend is intuitive for all users, and the possibilities really are limitless. I'm dually impressed with their dedication to constant improvement and their responsiveness to clients' needs. I love my site because it feels like me, and that's something I'm proud to share with my own clients." -Bailey Aro
Nicole Montmarquet Photography
Photography Blogsites has allowed me to easily implement my brand throughout my entire web presence. Everything is now in one place and so easy for me to use and navigate on the back end and smooth for my clients on the front end. When Analytics showed the percentage of mobile phone users viewing my site, I knew I needed a better solution and presence. I found Photography Blogsites while researching my options, and I am SOOO happy I did. I was able to effectively convey my brand with the large amount of options you give, and now that I don't have a dozen different places to maintain, I save a ton of time and headaches. Also, as a Smugmug user, I was thrilled to see the amazingly easy integration between the two. Everything is easy, clean, straightforward, and still offers plenty of customizable options. I really have to say thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Since I've made the switch to Photography Blogsites, I have almost tripled the amount of client interest.... sooo honestly... have I said THANK YOU!?! :-)
Gary Kordan
"After years of false starts and frustration trying to launch a dynamic blogsite I am so happy to have chosen Photography BlogSites. I'm a production designer for television in Los Angeles and all of my new or potential clients check out my work before meeting with me in person. Every other site caused headaches and I needed a masters degree to figure it out! PB delivers on everything that other blogsites promise. It's easy to set up, easy to update and most importantly it makes it easy to make an upscale impression before meeting face to face." -Gary Kordan
Chloe Jackman Photography
"Absolutely fabulous!!!!
My experience with Photography BlogSites and their white glove service has been absolutely fabulous!!!! I am so grateful to The Photography BlogSites team! They are so patient, intelligent, generous, thoughtful and creative. They have made my dreams of having a super sassy website that truly represents me come true. Once you are up and running they walk you through step by step to make sure you are fully functional to handle the back end on your own. I love it and them! If you are in the market to revamp your image, I guarantee you won't be disappointed with what this amazing team has to offer!
Thank you Photography BlogSites!!!!"
-Chloe Jackman
Leslie Nall Photography
"It is hard to choose what I like best about my BlogSite. It is so simple and straightforward that I was able to set it all up myself. I was able to integrate my existing Wordpress blog seamlessly, and I can easily update it whenever I need to. The amazing customer service is so available, helpful, and has gone WAY beyond what I would expect. I have received email responses to my questions evenings, Sundays and even a follow up days later, to make sure all was working as it should. Photography Blogsites continues to add more options and choices, and I am more than pleased that I made the switch!" -Leslie Nall
Stephanie Reinish Photography
"I was so sick of my website looking exactly like everyone's else but wasn't ready to spend $3,000+ on a custom blogsite but I knew that I needed to do something different to stand out. The day that Photography BlogSites launched I knew that it was exactly what I was looking for and perfectly in my price range! I set up my site that night and haven't looked back since. The support on the site is phenomenal and everything is so easy to update whenever I'd like to (even at 3 in the morning!). I'm constantly getting feedback on how great my site is and how easy it is to navigate."
-Stephanie Reinish
Morgan James Photography
"When we were looking for a new design for our website, we wanted three things: A clean look, an easy design process and great integration with our blog. We found all three, as well as awesome customer service, with Photography BlogSites! The BlogSites Team truly believes in making photographers successful by giving them the tools to showcase their work. We had an open dialogue with them during the entire process, and I felt like our voices were truly being heard as we asked questions, made suggestions and designed our website based on their creative templates. We are very lucky to have found a great partner in Photography BlogSites!" -Amy Durham, Morgan James Photography
Diana Sproveri Bake Shop
"My experience with Photography BlogSites has been nothing but outstanding. The ease of use is only surpassed by the beautiful layouts that accompany their sites. I have saved both time and money building my own site as opposed to hiring an outside company. I cannot say how impressed I am with every facet of this website company, and I look forward to being with them for many years to come." -Diana Sproveri

Last night we watched the 62nd Primetime Emmys on the telly (translation for Americans: television).
I have to admit I watched it for 2 main reasons:
- Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert (here presenting at the 2007 Emmys)
- Stephen Colbert & Jon Stewart (here in 2006)
There are certain programmes in our house we watch without fail. These programmes include The Simpsons, The Office (the American one), Leverage, Family Guy, The Colbert Report and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
If you haven't caught the last two in the UK, you should.
The Daily Show is fronted by Jon Stewart with a team of 'Senior Media Correspondents' including our very own John Oliver (seen here going off on a tangent about owls on Mock the Week) and the wonderful John Hodgman (author of 'More Information Than You Require' and he's even been on QI).
We've watched The Daily Show for years, originally in the UK on More4 (and you can watch 'back issues' on 4oD here), but now here in States on Comedy Central.
Stephen Colbert started out as a correspondent on The Daily Show but the character he plays is so large, it deserved a show of it's own, The Colbert Report. Again we started watching The Colbert Report in UK, it used to be on FX, but it was hidden away after midnight so it wasn't a great surprise when FX dropped it because of viewing figures...no one knew it was there!
The show does have a website with video clips and even full episodes, but unfortunately it will discover your UK ip (if you're in the UK) and say you can't watch them. (Pssst. Obviously you didn't hear this from me but I did definitely not never tell you about a VPN service from My Expat Network that you pay a small monthly fee to and then you can dial into an American ip....nope I would never tell anyone about that).
The Colbert Report is the closest thing I've ever seen the Americans do to the sadly long-gone The Day Today, and the on-screen character Colbert plays is the nearest thing to Chris Morris playing a version of Jeremy Paxman.
Colbert plays a brilliantly unflinching Conservative news host/pundit with no holds barred (and if you ever want to see him at his unflinching best, you HAVE to watch his speech, with George W Bush sitting just 2 seats away from him, at the White House Correspondents' Dinner...what were they thinking booking him to speak, did they think he'd play nice?! I love the nervous laughter around the room as he basically attacks everyone present. It's just genius: "people say this Administration is just re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titantic. For a start, that's a terrible metaphor. This Administration is not sinking. This Administration is soaring. If anything they're re-arranging the deck chairs on the Hindenberg").
Both of these shows are news satire at its best, the stuff we used to do in the UK to perfection (That Was The Week That Was, Not The Nine O'Clock News, Spitting Image, The Day Today, Bremner, Bird and Fortune etc).
And it's not as if the UK is putting up much of a defence, yes Radio 4 has the fantastic News Quiz and The Now Show....but what's there of worth on the telly? Have I Got News For You seems well past it's sell-by date (and that is a true shame, because it did use to be brilliant) and Mock The Week though very funny, is more a display of the various comedians wit than a commentary on what's happening in the world.
And what is it anyway that makes TV execs think that you can only do satire in a quiz show format? Where have all the cutting edge satirical sketch shows gone? Surely I can't be the only person who misses them?
The only thing that saves the day for the UK is Charlie Brooker's Newswipe, but where do the BBC choose to put that? BBC Four...obviously thinking that only the intellectual artsy crowd would like (or understand?) it, it couldn't possibly be put into primetime mainstream telly programming....but why not? It's been done before and the masses didn't revolt.
Deep breath. Rant over.
Anyway, I wish British tv execs would have the guts to search out some talented writers and performers and put Britain back on top of the world's satire mountain, because they're doing it here in the USA and from viewing figures and awards, it's proving that there's still a place for it.
(The Daily Show won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series for the EIGHTH YEAR RUNNING last night, and the younger sibling The Colbert Report won it's 2nd Emmy for Outstanding Writing For A Variety, Music or Comedy Series. Both shows have also won the prestigious Peabody Awards for Excellence in Broadcasting in recent years).
So come on Britain, make us proud! Or at least, give us a laugh by ridiculing the folly in the world.
PS. If I have missed any new great satirical shows on British telly, please let me know. I would love to be proven wrong on this one...the comment box is just there below (or if it isn't visible just hit the 'comments' link). Let me know.

An Italian Escape
Long after the hustle and bustle of Milan fashion week has come to a close, you'll be able to re-create the Italian experience (minus the jet lag) in the comfort of your bathroom. Available next month, Bottega Veneta is launching an ultraluxe bath ritual—containing a body scrub, body oil, body powder, and hair mist—all laced with a slightly masculine leather accord and notes of plum, oak moss, patchouli, and jasmine found in the distinctive and original eau. The exfoliator contains microparticles of apricot kernels that slough off rough patches without being overly abrasive, while the moisturizing oil dries down to a satin finish and leaves behind a subtle gleam without feeling greasy. For a softer touch, the shimmery body powder, applied with a puff, adds a delicate veil of gold sparkle, and the spritz for strands (available only in select Bottega Veneta boutiques), misted on the underlayers near the nape of the neck, helps you hang on to this rich scent and release it with a casual flip of your hair. While the storied house isn't showing until Saturday, I'm glad to have gotten in on the far less frenzied designer action a few days early.— Amber Kallor

Teen who video recorded alleged bully facing charges
Wednesday, April 16, 2014 8:51 PM EDT
Wednesday, April 16, 2014 9:38 PM EDT
By Steve Ljuljdjuraj, Fox 2 Senior Producer -
A Pennsylvania teenager convicted of disorderly conduct for recording his alleged tormenters in class wants changes to the district's zero tolerance policy rather than the wishes of his mother, who wants "heads to roll" for the incident.
Shea Love, 40, said her 15-year-old son, Christian, had long been victimized by fellow students in his special education math class at South Fayette High School in McDonald, Pa. So the frustrated sophomore made an audio recording of the alleged bullying using his iPad, which school officials forced him to delete upon learning of the 7-minute segment in February. He was later convicted of disorderly conduct and fined $25 plus court costs.
"What I want is for heads to roll," Love told
. "But he said to me, 'Mom, it might make you feel better if people get fired, but that won't change anything.' He said there needs to be more compassion for people and changes to the zero tolerance policy. I want people's heads to roll, but my son doesn't and I have to respect his wishes."
Love's son has been diagnosed with comprehension delay and anxiety disorders, as well as ADHD. Love said his special needs can be problematic to some.
"He has a low processing speed, the way he does everything is very slow," she said. "And some people get very frustrated by that."
Love said her only child hasn't been the same since the alleged incident. He has lost at least 10 pounds, requires additional therapy sessions and has missed many days of school, she said.
"This has been just devastating," Love continued. "I'm a single mom - it's just him and I - and I feel like they were just trying to get us to shut up. Until people started caring, they didn't care - and that's pretty sad."
Love said school officials, including Principal Scott Milburn and Superintendent Bille Pearce Rondinelli, contacted police for a possible violation of wiretapping laws, but did not discipline the students captured on the audio recording harassing her son.
According to a transcript of a March 19 court hearing obtained by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the teenager said he made the recording "because I always felt like it wasn't me being heard." He said classmates bullied him for several months.
"I wanted some help," Christian Stanfield said. "This wasn't just a one-time thing. This always happens every day in that class."
According to the hearing transcript, district officials forced him to erase the recording and punished him with detention. He was charged with disorderly conduct after police decided the case did not warrant a felony wiretapping charge.
The teen is due to appear in court on April 29 at the Pittsburgh Court of Common Pleas to appeal the disorderly conduct conviction. If those charges are dropped and school officials apologize, Love said she won't file a civil lawsuit against the district.
"Hopefully they will [apologize], but judging from past actions, I don't think they will," Love told
. "Every day he goes to school now and I just wait for a call. It sucks."
District officials did not return messages seeking comment on Tuesday.
The boy's attorney, Jonathan Steele, said he expects a forthcoming civil suit regardless of what happens later this month.
"The damage is done," Steele told
. "In terms of an apology, that'd be great, but the student has already suffered psychological damage, emotional trauma and increased therapy, which he truly needs because of what happened to him. He feels like a criminal."

How To Install JBSourcery ROM On Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus SPH-L700
There is no doubt that Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus SPH-L700 is one of the most stable and powerful Android devices available on the market, but what would you say if I tell you that its performances can be improved. How? Well, I think it's time for you to step in and take control over your smartphone by flashing some unique customizations that will take it to the next level.
Recently a famous XDA Developers member "jboyer0000" released a brand new custom ROM for your Galaxy Nexus and I think this is the best way to start the customization process. The custom ROM is called JBSourcery ROM and is based on the well-known Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean (build JOP40D).
JBSourcery ROM has already been tested by the Android community and the feedback was quite impressive. It looks like this ROM gives you access to lots of customization possibilities and besides that, you will be able to take advantage to some fresh and amazing features like: toggle options, Apex Launcher, MIUI battery bar, a completely new kernel, screen widgets and many other interesting things.
So, if you want to feel the magic of the JBSourcery ROM then it's time to show you how to act as a little Android developer.
Requirements and warnings
- Before we get started, you need to go to "Settings" > "About device" and make sure you have the next model number: "SPH-L700". Otherwise, I don't recommend you to go further, because the next instructions are compatible only with the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus and applying them on any other device may lead to some irrecoverable damages.
- The only way you can flash a custom ROM is if your Android device has an unlocked bootloader, root access and a custom Recovery tool already installed. If your Galaxy Nexus doesn't comply to all these 3 requirements, then you should follow this guide first.
- Sometimes flashing custom ROMs can be dangerous and that's why you should always have backup ready, in case something goes wrong during the process. You can check out this Android backup guide to make sure you do everything right.
- To avoid any power losses during the installation process make sure your device's battery life is higher than 60%.
- Enable the "USB Debugging" option from "Settings" > "Developer options" and you are good to go.
Instructions guide
- Download the JBSourcery custom ROM from this official source.
- Choose one of these 3 Google Apps packages and download one to your computer:
- Standard GApps package from here.
- Maximus Inverted GApps package from here.
- Minimus Inverted GApps package from here.
- Copy the zip files you've just downloaded on your Galaxy Nexus's microSD card. Do not extract, just place them as they are.
- Power Off your Nexus smartphone.
- Press and hold down: "Volume Down" > "Volume Up" and "Power" buttons until your device enters into "Fastboot Mode". Now you have to select "Recovery" and your phone will boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
- Go to "Backup and Restore" and select "Backup" to create a NANDroid Backup. This backup can be very helpful in case you want to go back to your previous ROM after the installation is complete.
- Go to "Advanced" and select the "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Confirm the action by pressing "Yes".
- Now it's time to perform a factory reset, so go to "Wipe data/factory reset" and press "Yes".
- Select the "Wipe cache partition" option and press "Yes".
- Go to "Install ZIP from SD card" and select the "Choose ZIP from SD card" option. Now you have to navigate to the place where you've saved the JBSourcery ROM zip file.
- Repeat the step above, but this time use the Google Apps package instead.
- Use the "Go back" option and select "Reboot System Now".
- Once your device turns on, you have to wait for your apps to be installed.
- Restart your phone once again.
Good job! You've successfully installed the JBSourcery ROM on your Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which means that you can start testing your customization abilities. It would be nice to share your achievements with us. Enjoy!

The fight over new laws concerning the abortion pill continues in the Indiana Legislature.
The Senate passed a bill back in February and now it is up to the House.
The bill made it through Monday's debate without amendment.
A vote for or against is set for Friday in the House.
House Democrats are mainly upset over a provision that require clinics that only dispense RU-486 to meet the same standards as clinics that perform surgical abortions.

Okay, since I reduced my hours in the bike shop, that left us a little short handed. Especially since the shop consists of the owner, and only 2 employees. The owner is typically building bicycle frames so he doesn't do much in the bike shop, which leaves one person to run the show. Answering phone calls, walk-ins, bike sales, and service; sometimes it can be a little much for a single person. Obviously we needed more help, and found someone to work 4-5 days. I figure that means it's time for me to move on..... I really liked working at that shop, working with Ed and Drew was fun, but all good things must come to an end. Ed and I worked really well together, and had a lot of fun. Really great regular customers also. I am really going to miss it.
Made a couple phone calls, spoke to some people, and BOOM before we know it, in about 2 weeks we are moving!!! Holy Crapoly that was fast and sudden. My good friend Dan has a custom carpentry business, he is happy to let me work for him, and in an odd coincidence, the home we used to live in in Bucks County will be available for us to move into at the end of November. Weird!!! We found some temporary housing to stay in until the current tenant moves out and we move in. Super cool, I will have a place for my workshop again. Lathe, mill, brazing/welding, fabricating stuff, I'll be able to do it all again. YAY! 450 acres, barn, ponds, fishing, wood splitting, peace and solitude, and a great place for a 3 year old to run around and have fun. Oh yeah, and most importantly, a public school system that isn't a total fucking joke. This is gonna be cool.

Moving On...
Well my lovely wife got a new job. Since the physical therapy world pays quite a bit better than being a lowly bicycle mechanic I have reduced my time in the bike shop to 3 days a week. The rest of the time I stay home with my 3 year old daughter, which is pretty cool.
Now I leave you with fork seals and busted BB's.

Beautiful Bridge
So this was the most beautiful steel bridge of 1960?!
And here's some fun stuff from the bike shop...
It is not common to see the super cheap brake pads worn all the way on a cheap murray MTB from the 80s. Front AND rear were this worn.
ALSO the new skate park is completed. It is only a couple blocks from my home. Looks really fun. Early AM it seems to be pretty chill so old dudes who used to skate can get a chance to goof around. I am in to it!

Tool Making
Untitled, originally uploaded by rackntroll.
A little bit of sunday afternoon toolmaking.
This is to remove/install the ring nut on a DT Swiss hub.
The tool from DT Swiss retails for nearly $100.
I had an old star-ratchet lying around doing nothing, that has now become useful.
I just need to braze or weld it onto the stub.

Italian Luxury: Crafting the Finest Golf Shoes in the World
Just a few miles from Italy's Adriatic coast sits a testament to the fine art of Italian shoemaking. Cappelletti—a family-owned business—has been making some of the world's finest shoes since 1954 in Sant'Elpidio a Mare. It is here that our shoes are crafted one at a time by the most talented hands in the business.
"Each pair of Ferrari Golf Shoes is a work of art. A rare convergence of old-world artisan skills and contemporary precision," says Ryan Sax, Sr. Global Product Line Manager of Footwear at PUMA.
On a recent visit to the facility, Mr. Giorgio Cappelletti—President of the Board—warmly greeted us with a big smile and a deep, rich Caffè. As we moved through the facility and reviewed final design details with his team, we felt a real sense of magic and a palpable feeling of pride, family and a love for what they do.
"This area of Italy is the epicenter of legendary, high-quality Italian shoes; and Cappelletti is a real standout," Ryan Sax adds, "What they do is amazing. They truly understand how to make the most comfortable, stylish, highest quality footwear possible. They've worked with us to create the most exclusive golf shoe available. They know that consumers expect nothing less from a product that carries the Ferrari name."
As with any Ferrari Golf Collection product, there's no room for compromise. The shoes that Cappelletti crafts for us are aligned with that philosophy.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is our first year at Harmon, but we couldn't be happier. The administration and staff really seem to present themselves as a cohesive team dedicated to the success of every student. I was more than a little concerned about shuttling back and forth to LHS Main campus for extra-curriculars. To be honest, the whole system seemed confusing before school started. What we discovered is that the shuttle bus system runs like clockwork...a complete non-issue for us. They really encourage the students to challenge themselves academically and be very involved in school activities. Sports, music, clubs....there is something for everyone at Harmon. With a diverse student population, the staff does a stellar job in running a tight ship that also happens to be a lot of fun. They seem to work very hard to keep the lines of communication open with parents. The are friendly, approachable and ready to work with parents and students. The teachers are energetic and engaging. We had other choices for high school and could not be happier with LHS-Harmon campus!

Ex-Falcons personnel director David Caldwell named Jaguars GM
Flowery Branch, GA, United States (4E Sports) – Former Falcons' director of player personnel David Caldwell has joined the Jacksonville Jaguars as general manager.
He will replace Gene Smith and has to make a decision on head coach Mike Mularkey.
"Dave is a very bright, adept and organized talent evaluator," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said.
"He has a very sound understanding of team building and player acquisition."
Caldwell was promoted as the Falcons director of player personnel in 2012. He oversaw both the college and pro scouting efforts and worked closely Dimitroff. He also handled the day-to-day analysis and evaluation of the Falcons current roster while aiding in the research on how to acquire future free agents.
He spent four previous seasons with the Falcons as the director of college scouting overseeing Atlanta's college area and regional scouts.
Caldwell has served in the NFL for 15 years, 10 with the Indianapolis Colts, and the rest with the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers.

need a little informationHey wet heads this is the ole man from deep south and I need a little information
I am laid up and trying to help out a friend. He has a heat maker model 130HWNAT boiler and I need to make sure of the size he has a little over 4000 sq ft and the unit has heated the building quite well when it works, but for the last few years it has given them a ton of problems and want me to replace the boiler. I cant leave the house because of my medical problems but they want me to install them a new boiler and I just want to make sure of the size so I can g a head and order one. Any help would be great6ly appreciated.

HeatmakerStart with heat loss calc's for the house. If it's anywhere between 80 and 120,000 BTU's, my choice would be a Prestige Excellence as long as they would be happy with 3.5 GPM of DHW. If they need more, use a Prestige Solo Trimax with whatever size indirect is suitable.Often wrong, never in doubt.

HTPVersa Flame or Versa Hydro . Flame is a boiler with Plate HX for DHW , 130K will easily do 3.2GPM . Versa Hydro is a water heater with 100 K Space heating capability . Both are comparably priced with the heatmaker . Hope all goes well .You didn't get what you didn't pay for and it will never be what you thought it would

The math works outTo 22 btu per square foot per hour. Can't tell you if it's right or wrong without a loss calc, but it sounds reasonable for here in Denver.
Get well soon big guy.

Hi MarkHope all is well wit your clan. I just can't physically drive back over to the job-site for a few days and just wanted to make sure of he old boiler size. I am going with a tank-less water heater and a separate boiler. The old boiler heated very well and did a good job from what the homeowner stated until it started to fall apart a few years ago and the owner just wanted it replaced. As I stated it is a heat-maker model # 130 hw nat. Just not that familiar with that unit. Lol Plus the perkacet and loratab not making it real easy to think real straight but works good on the pain .
Peace Be With You

David...you obviously don't have the time to do a proper heat load calculation. For the sake of time and simplicity (also based on customer feedback) lets assume a proper one was done. At a minimum, I would ask the customer to measure up the connected baseboard, then assume 500 btuH/linear foot, then add for the efficiency of the appliance you are using (82, 86 or 95%) and use that as a sizing guide.
As others have asked, was it also doing DHW or any other loads? If yes, it may have been oversized for the DHW load, which in your part of the country os probably the bigger of the two loads.

Listening To:
American Football - American Football (1999)
When I bought this record at my local record store Redscroll Records in Wallingford, Connecticut, it was a beautiful Summer day. Ten minutes later, the skies opened up and unloaded more rain on this state than it had seen in at least a month.
Coincidence? I don't think so. Now it's time for me to listen to Mike Kinsella cry over gorgeously harmonizing math rock guitar leads and serene trumpet the way that it was all meant to be heard — on vinyl, in the rain.

Textile Designs by Muriel Brandolini
We simply can't get enough of the fabrics at Holland & Sherry. One line that we're particularly fond of was created by eclectic interior designer Muriel Brandolini. She knows just how to transform a quirky sketch into a beautifully-crafted pattern.
The colorways represented here feature unusual pairings, such as olive and turquoise, or coral and persimmon. We love how the botanicals are set on the fabric, with plenty of negative space that makes the textiles feel hand-painted and not crammed full of information. Brandolini's set of international inspirations are noticeable in her work, from her Vietnamese, French, and Venezuelan background to her Nordic travels.
Visit Muriel Brandolini for more information on her textiles and interior design services, and be sure to visit Holland & Sherry with a designer to use the goods in your own project.

muriel brandolini is one of my favorites, and i adore her textile line. waiting to see her clothing line one day
Yeah, but she enslaves her maids and holds their passports, according to the New York Times.

There are so many good restaurants in Soho, that we couldn't decide where to get dinner. We were starving and "hangry" (when you're so hungry that you're starting to get angry) when we finally settled for Carom. I'm so glad we did!
The service was spectacular! We got there a bit early for dinner but our waiter made sure we were well taken care of. We opted for the tourist menu, and he helped us choose the items that he thought we would like best. My curry was insanely delicious. I paid about 18 pounds for three courses, which was not bad considering how pricey dining in London can be.
The ambiance is great; think Hakasaan in Vegas. I would probably have stayed here for a drink or two if I wasn't so tired.
Our first dinner in London. It was a little confusing, we found the restaurant without issue but when we walked in the host podium was for a different place? So, hang left of that one and there is another. It's swank and clubby inside with a touch of Indian. We were there fairly early on a Saturday (7.30pm) but toward the end of dinner we did have to start yelling a bit as the noise level increased.
I was very pleased with the food. It's an elevated, more sophisticated take on traditional Indian. We got poppadums to start (excellent chutneys, mango was the favorite), chili squid (light and surprisingly good sized portion), and shared the Jhinga (grilled prawns, smallish dish that the waiter did note for us when we placed the order), and the Kerala fish curry with sea bass. The curry was by far my favorite, the ginger and coconut gave it a bit of Thai flavor. Make sure to get some rice to soak up every bit of the curry! Even though I was full I couldn't resist getting dessert, mango kulfi. It was a nice way to end the meal, a little on the small side but it's not like we needed any more than what we were given.
We didn't end up trying any cocktails since we were still dehydrated and jet lagged. Next time!
Last night, I mysteriously ended up at Carom's again. Experiencing similar issues with disorganisation again but on much smaller scale was somehow exciting! We got a table without a reservation, they were helpful and the wait wasn't as long as 15 minutes for an order or anything. Although, we might have been 'waiter-catching' more...
The food was delicious. My aubergine was a sensation! And the wine light-bodies, fresh, beautiful.
I randomly ended up here post-work for a few Tiger beers once before when it strangely became a banging club night, a bit much. But their great Lamb and South Asian sort of tapas to drink with brought me and my unadventurous lot back here.
This second visit however was more of a subdued event. At it's entrance, under a conservatory roof, contrived chintzy uncomfortable seating at first glances looked the most convivial place to enjoy ourselves in the cutesy artificial sectioned off 'garden'. Akin to being in a Laura Ashley shop window circa. 1992 but with the backdrop of a gaudy curry house in the background it was more Watford, than Wardour st.
Our server was full of the joys of Spring, however management milling around looked a little more interested.
I still don't get this place, but the tamarind and green curry pesto, I hate to admit, was rather wonderful.
This eye-blowing place is quite a fancy venue, in the middle of SoHo.
The place can seem noisy at first, but the tables are compartmented, so you have your own little cosy space.
We enjoyed having an American-style waitress, who presented herself, made jokes about us, and was nonetheless very knowledgeable and professional.
The food was good, although the cold sweet & sour chickpea dumplings did not live up to expectations...
The rest of the meal was great though, up to the grand finale: an amazing fruity cheesecake.
Drink-wise, the cocktails and soft cocktails were very enjoyable too.
I don't know what to compliment first the food or the service.
Let me start with the food, I really enjoyed it. The lamb was delicious, especially the Nalli Salli. We did make a reservation before we went. The only downside I can think of [nothing major] but it did get a little too noisy.
This is a also a very affordable restaurant for where it is. I was actually shocked at how cheap it was.
The service is a whole different story, it wasn't the best service in the world but you could see they were trying hard to do their best.
A relaxed chilled out sort of place with Indian inspired food and cocktails. The house white is delicious (especially in this warm weather), as was a champagne cocktail which I'm sorry to say, I can't remember what it's called.
The Food on the other hand was okay, perhaps that is a little harsh, it's probably very nice to most, but for me personally I found it to be over spiced for my taste. Let me point out that I would not call myself a fan of Indian food. It's okay in small (very small) doses and it would not be on my list of "go to" food nor my "I'm dying, it's an emergency" foods. Of course I'm joshing with you.
Final thought: Thumbs up if you want to bring a date here for drinks, but perhaps not for dinner if it's a second date and you're expecting to do any "pitch-ing" yelp.co.uk/topic/london-…, or at least, make sure that you both order dishes with garlic!
Visited Carom at Meza with about 8 friends a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night. The atmosphere is the biggest selling point: busy ++ but in a good way- vibrant and heady as you would expect from a Soho hotspot. Cocktails are also delicious- especially the Indian-inspired ones- and served by attentive bar staff who seem to know what they are doing..
Food-wise, I would say its a mixed bag- some inspired dishes such as the chicken sizzling in gin (a definite recommendation) but others are simply standard curry/meat/sauce dishes that you could find a reasonable indian local. Portion sizes are reasonable for central london, though would recommend sharing the starters/smaller plates given dish variability.
Not so much for a date but for a night out with friends I would recommend- a DJ starts playing around 10pm and people randomly start dancing in the entrance area, so on a summer evening after a couple of cocktails you might just join them.
This place has everything just right, making it an awesome place to hang out and/or party! With all the hospitality and perks of a central London club, but with a decor and vibe which is just the right amount of down-to-earth, Carom makes itself a versatile joint fit for the dance floor demons and the couch slouchers to happily coincide and intermingle.
My friend and I had just been ousted from a pub at closing time and were wandering the streets looking for a decent joint that wasn't going to cost an arm and a leg. Alas, we thought, it is after midnight on a Saturday and we are smack in the middle of London, we have no hope...
Then, somewhere near the soho village area, up pops Carom. The place is busy with a good g:g, the music sounds good, and everyone looks like they're having a blast. What's that you say...No cover? No coatcheck fee? The bartenders are proper professionals putting on a show and making fine cocktails, there is a fun-loving attentive staff keeping the place running, the DJ is actually mixing well and keeping the vibe going, and even the washrooms were spacious, elegant, and well attended by a friendly gent.
I will absolutely be taking people back there. My only wish is that it didn't close at 2!
I did not try the food.
These guys have introduced a curry club, once a month you can join them for a cooking demo behind the scenes with the head chef!
Following that, you can enjoy a drink & a 3 course meal, all for £50!
If you can't make the demo, you can enjoy the menu of the month for £15 (includes drink, sides).
Not a bad deal!
Check out their website for more info!
A really lively place night-spot with a DJ and food and a full bar. What more can you ask for on a Friday for happy hour with the girls?
The food was really good, and the cocktails were even better. I had a little help from the manager who was roaming around us a bit for a cocktail choice and it was spot on.
We ordered the taster platter and it was just delicious. I don't even like chutney and i couldn't get enough of the carrot chutney.
Highly recommend this place!
i came here with some friends on a friday night for some pre-dinner cocktails. the bar area was very busy so initially we didn't have a seat, or great service, despite standing at the bar for an age. the saving grace of the entire experience of this place was actually the manager/owner (i think), who noticed that we were not being served, acknowledged us, and very quickly sorted out our orders for us. he was also great, telling us all of the histories behind each individual cocktail he was making. his service was absolutely brilliant, and elevates this review from 3 stars to 4 for sure.
the atmosphere in here is really weird being part bar/part restaurant/part atrium...and i think there is another restaurant tucked away somewhere too. i didn't think it particularly gelled well together, but to be honest, once we had a seat for our group, it was pleasant enough.
the cocktails we had were excellent. i got an elder bubble which was a gin, prosecco and elder flower affair, and an old white lady (or maybe just a white lady, i can't remember!) which was another gin based affair, but with lemon. it was very bitter and just delicious! they definitely pack a punch, but they are pricey at around the £9-£10 mark.
i'd come back if i reserved a seat in the front bar area (by the windows) and wanted some good cocktails. it's fairly large for soho so is a good idea if you're in a group and looking for somewhere to go last minute without reservations (that's what we did!)
I've been dying to come back and try this place "for reals" since the Yelp Elite Curry Club event. So when a friend called and told me another friend was in town and wanted to meet for dinner, I did think of here. Luckily, she lives in Maine and there is a severe shortage of good Indian food there, so she was totally on board for an Indian night out.
I do have to say the atmosphere is a bit odd. Two restaurants in one place? It's strange. Also the bar area was super crowded when we showed up at 7:00, with the restaurant being fairly empty. We got a booth (which was nice, even if it was a tad warm) and browsed the menu.
They're all about the sharing apparently. So that's what we decided to do. We ordered poppadoms (of course) and they come with three delicious chutneys. We got three starters: bhelpuri, chicken satay and chili squid. All of them were pretty damn tasty. The bhelpuri was very spicy and deliciously crunchy. Chicken satay was slightly overcooked, but the seasoning was spot on! And squid with chili is always a winning combination in my book! We were all quite impressed with the starters.
The mains came. We had grilled chicken, lamb curry, chennai chicken curry, saag makai and black lentils. I had had two of the dishes before, so I knew the chicken curry and the lentils were amazing (and they were again). The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. The saag makai was also wonderfully delicious. Spinach and baby corn? More please! I still want to bathe in the lentils. I don't know what they do, but I love them. We had paratha, peshwari naan, rice and salad. Paratha is my favorite, so I was very happy with that! The peshwari naan was a bit odd. I don't know what it was, but I've had better. The salad was pretty tasty as well (and I've never ordered a salad at an Indian place before). My friend from the US says she normally doesn't like lentils (apparently eating them as a kid turns you off of them), and she loved them. She also doesn't usually eat Indian breads, but she thought the paratha was also really tasty.
We didn't have dessert. No Gulab Jamun unfortunately. The desserts were strangely non-Indian (except the Kulfi).
I had a great time though, and they had some interesting wines on the menu (Indian wine!) so we were all happy campers. When I go back, I think I'm going to avoid the lamb curry, but there's a beef curry on the menu that's calling my name....
I love this place, the food is superb, the cocktails are nice and it is really good for a party but the last time I was there the service was not good and I do hope it was a one-time event as I like this restaurant.
Modern Indian, in the heart of Soho. The bar feature 83 ( count 'em) varieties of gin. The menu features an array of small plates and mains of the former, chilli squid was very good, although the softshell crab Chennai-style was deemed not as good as in Chennai. But then, we're in the West End here, not the steamy Sub-Continent. Other high points included the very good poppadoms and pickles( light, airy, and seemingly greaseless, paired with an apple chutney, something with tamarind reminiscent of a posher, less sugary HP Sauce [ in a good way], and a chili number). Main courses were fairly unmemorable though a Goan prawn curry was somewhat lacking in punch, for example. Service, though friendly and accommodating, was a little haphazard and hesitant, and a serviceable wine list was marred by a number of things being unavailable or in short supply. In fairness, it was a Monday night, but I did feel I ( and the the restaurant) could do better .

So they've created two new designs for ocean power generation, both of which harness the theglobalobservatory.org low-motion, high-torque power of water. Both designs were taken directly from nature: a sharks tail and a kelp head. Over the last hundred million years, the tails of sharks have managed to become 90% efficient in transferring power to energy. The BioStream generator doesn't just look like a shark's tail, it moves like a shark's tail. As water streams past the fin, the fin slowly changes pitch so arm sways back and forth which runs a generator in the base of the system.
In addition to their radical new designs for ocean power, BioPower has designed a new mooring specifically to be used with these power generation systems. The mooring doesn't need to be as substantial as traditional underwater turbines because both systems have simple storm mitigation measures (the kelp lays flat, the shark fin disengages the generator and just lets the ocean push it around.) So, the mooring is less expensive but still more than powerful enough to keep the generators in place through even the worst weather.
These designs are completely out of sight, inexpensive, slow moving, safe, have a minimal impact on the sea floor, can be used in concert with wind turbins, and produce a significant amount of power. Get ready, ocean power is click now generic viagra india coming.

John Richards, a retiree living in Boston (in England), decided to put the following sign on his door:
Religions are fairy stories for adults
Seems harmless. People display their religious beliefs on their property all the time — a cross in a window, a "god loves you" welcome mat, etc.
But, because he's an atheist, the police are telling him he could be arrested for his "threatening" message:
[Richards] told The Standard: "The police said I could be arrested if somebody complained and said they were insulted, but the sign was up two years ago and nobody responded or smashed the window.
"I am an atheist and I feel people are being misled by religion. I wanted to show people that if they thought they were alone there was at least one other person who thought that.
"I accept that the police emphasised the words could lead to an arrest but the implication is a threat to free speech which surely should be fought."
The Public Order Act dictates that it is an offence to display any sign which is threatening, abusive or insulting, and could cause distress.

ADNEC chosen as host venue for IPA Middle East
The Middle East edition of IPA, the world food processing, packaging equipment and services exhibition has become the latest event to join the growing list of new exhibitions which will be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre in 2010.
IPA Middle East will take place 15 - 17 November 2010 and will run alongside SIAL Middle East. Together the two shows will offer a dedicated platform for the entire food industry, from food processing to finished products, bringing together professionals involved in buying and selling food products and services, and innovative, high–performance, food packaging equipment.
IPA, "a must-attend-event" for all processing technologies, was created in 1968. Held every two years in Paris, it attracts more than 18,000 visitors from 105 countries who come to meet over 600 exhibitors from 29 countries.
The launch of IPA Middle East reinforces its international standing, already reflected by 48% of IPA exhibitors and 28% of IPA visitors, and allows participants to be involved in an increasingly strong market.
"The food marketplace is changing rapidly and there is a need to keep track of evolving industry trends and innovations. We look forward to introducing our brand to the Middle East, at this event in Abu Dhabi, as the region is one of the most buoyant markets worldwide," says Bernard Becker, Chairman of Comexposium, the organisers of IPA.
IPA Middle East will be run by Turret Middle East, one of the leading exhibition organisers in the region. "Turret is pleased to partner with Comexposium to launch IPA Middle East which will take place in parallel with SIAL Middle East," says Richard Hease, Chairman of Turret Middle East.
Turret will use this specialised network and knowledge to address the needs of the Middle East industry, and take a new approach to marrying buyers and sellers in the region.
Manufacturers and distributors of food processing, packaging equipment and food services will be invited to participate in a strategic and highly focused event, a first of its kind in the region, where selected buyers will be hosted as guests of IPA Middle East.
