Twitchy Eye is never merely a facial tic — for some reason, a twitch reveals your state of mind. The prevailing notion seems to be that an eye twitch denotes insanity, which can apply to a permanently mad person with a permanent tic, or an unstable character whose twitch manifests along with their madness. As such, it usually accompanies a Broken Smile, and sometimes overlaps with Mad Eye. Of course, there are other emotions that give characters a Twitchy Eye, including anything from extreme annoyance, to horror, to caffeine. so much that *twitch twitch* has become a standard sound effect in anime and manga, as well as a standard anime gesture of slowly raising a clenched fist with a twitching eye. Might be the prelude to a Villainous Breakdown or a Heroic BSOD. Other times it's not a mood, but an action — such as lying — that will bring about the twitch. In Real Life, a twitching eyelid can be sign of emotional instability, but it's usually a sign of tiredness or severe stress.

Alaska's haul road
A Truckers News editor shares a bumpy, long, well-lit day in the life of a veteran hauler on one of the continent's most dangerous truck routes.
The buzz up and down the Haul Road this Thursday in mid-July is the History Channel's Alaska: Dangerous Territory, which aired the night before. All the drivers, especially those with Carlile Transportation Systems, which worked closely with the film crew, recall the visit.
The general verdict, rendered at the few available diners on the 414-mile road: thumbs down.
It "focused on accidents," Jeremy Welton complains to his fellow drivers. "You didn't miss much."
But then, come on. They all know it's the spin-outs while climbing slick double-digit grades, the helpless sliding off curves, the careening down endless slopes, the avalanches, that give these guys their street cred.
I'm northbound from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay with Carlile driver George Spears. It's a 1,032-mile round trip, most of it on the Haul Road, the common name for the James B. Dalton Highway.
The rough road slams the nose of Spears' 2005 Kenworth from side to side. The truck could be a racehorse in its stall, snorting as it waits for the gun to crack, except this W900 is out of the gate, plodding no faster than 40 mph. With its 475-horsepower Caterpillar and 18-speed Eaton, it easily handles wide grades that exceed 16 percent, maybe 18 percent, depending on who you listen to. We're hauling insulation and spools of tubing over a road that alternates between gravel and chip seal, a thin pavement used to seal gravel roads.
"This is the best truck I've ever driven, and it's a company truck," says Spears, a former owner-operator.
He estimates that continuous Haul Road driving doubles normal maintenance expenses.
Suspensions, tires, tie rods, struts, filters – you name it, they get beat up, chewed down, snapped, choked with dust in summer and clogged with snow and ice in winter.
Given the terrain, trucks get only 4 to 4.5 miles per gallon, says Lane Keator, Carlile's Fairbanks terminal manager. And most of the year, don't even think about improving that figure by not idling when parked.
They've got another word for four-wheelers on the Haul Road: tourists. They're hunters, fishermen, campers and those who take the road just because it jumps off the map – it's the only route that runs from central Alaska to the Arctic Ocean. It beckons them to explore, to search for wildlife, to take photos of each other at the sign marking the Arctic Circle.
Haul Road truckers have as much love for tourists as truckers in the lower 48 have for air-headed four-wheelers. Tourists often fail to keep their lights on. Some drive too fast. Many don't slow down when meeting an oncoming vehicle.
"You're throwing rocks, he's throwing rocks," Spears says. He uses front bumper flaps to mitigate that.

It is official. Alexander Gustafsson is out of the UFC on Fuel TV 9 main event against Gegard Mousasi.
Gustafsson received a cut over his eye while sparring in preparation for the scheduled April 6 bout in Stockholm. The light-heavyweight met with medical professionals today and it was determined that he would not be approved to fight on Saturday.
The Swedish MMA Federation released a statement on Tuesday announcing the news.
"According to SMMAF regulations the competitors in a match shall be examined by the certified appointed match doctor prior to the match. The examination is always carried out the day before the match, this is to safeguard that a competitor shall never be cleared for a match earlier than the day before the match," the statement read.
"In the case of Alexander Gustafsson there was a request for an early indicative medical examination which was immediately performed on March 30th (Easter Eve). The federation doctors that performed the examination informed Gustafsson that his injury was of such a nature that it was very unlikely that he would be medically cleared for a match in the near future. These doctors did not have a mandate to stop the match at the time of that examination."
More MMA
"It is very difficult to see that this will be medically approved on Friday," Swedish MMA Federation President George Sallfeldt told MMANYTT.se after the initial examination on March 30, adding that Gustafsson wanted to go ahead with the fight, but "this is a medical decision and not up to Alexander himself."
Doctors on Tuesday officially declared Gustafsson unfit to fight.
"The SMMAF Medical Committee has today reviewed the circumstances regarding Gustafsson and his injury. The SMMAF Medical Committee recognizes that a competitor cannot be medically cleared earlier than the day before the match. However, bearing in mind that a correct medical examination that met the regulatory demands has been performed, nothing in the SMMAF regulations hinders the SMMAF Medical Committee from making a decision to stop Gustafsson from competing.
"As it is clear that Alexander Gustafsson will not be fit to compete as planned and cannot be medically cleared on Friday the 5th of April, the SMMAF Medical Committee has today decided that Alexander Gustafsson will not be allowed to participate in the planned match on April 6," read the SMMAF statement.
A replacement for Gustafsson has not yet been named.

Wand/UFC, let's do this!
i would of pulled out to … s*** musasi's a tough fight..
He didn't pull out…he got pulled out
he man unless is a major cut den ofcourse u have to pull out .. but i feel now a days people find the smallest excuse not to fight … i could be wrong but thats just how i feel
He wanted to fight, they wouldn't let him fight with a cut as it'd open up first clean hit, logic.
i know i get it .. i guess im just pissed ..about the whole situation.. and a win over gustafson would of got mousasi a shot…
if this was pay per view they would have lost another 20 million
Following this story on this site is starting to feel like watching a Days of Our Lives episode. Not that I don't want the updates…if Wand was serious about the April Fool's Day hoax…I'm going to lose some respect for him. I can't help but think Dana shut him down, in order to keep selling tickets, and Wand is the backup fighter now. If so, it's pretty deceitful to continue on with that line of reasoning. Money shouldn't trump integrity…but I only need watch the news for a few minutes to know that's a silly, outdated fantasy. Dana really needs to get ahead of this situation. I know Alexander would have fought anyway, but who lets a contender with a serious cut above his eye walk into the ring with a badass standup fighter? Unless you guarantee him there will be no repurcussions to his status as contender in waiting. IDK…just venting. It seems to me Dana needs to have better contingency plans since pre-fight injuries are the new normal now.
Time for Wand to put his money where his mouth is
I think this whole thing is hilarious. Wand, you made my day! I like that crazy photo he tweeted with this fingers like ahh!
Ha!!! Wandy is totally fighting Gustaffson!! I knew that whole joke just seemed way too out of character for Wandy.
Nope… Wand's claims were a hoax. Gegard is fighting a Gustafsson training partner now… http://www.mmaweekly.com/gegard-mousasi-draws-gustafsson-training-partner-for-ufc-on-fuel-tv-9-main-event

Works Good

Purchased at iHerb
The product works fantastic. I needed a facial moisturizer and, since I've sensitive skin, couldn't use a lot of products that contained certain ingredients... otherwise I'd break out badly. Avalon's moisture cream works wonders and leaves my skin gently exfoliated, not greasy or shiny. It does everything it promises and more. The reason I rated it a 4 though is because the packaging isn't the greatest. It spilled into the box and looked like it wasn't sealed.
Good cream

I like this one, smells pleasantly, you need a little of it,because it's a thick cream, my skin is combinated/dry, sometimes if I put just a little bit more of it on my face,it feels too greasy for me, so I think this wouldn't work properly if you have oily skin or combinated/oily skin.

I really like this moisturizer. It is thicker than the daily moisture cream by the same company and I need that due to my dry and sensitive skin. Unfortunately, it is not quite enough to eliminate some dry patches. I have only been using it for a month so maybe over time it will.
Excellent product!

I have extremely dry and sun damaged skin which needs intensive treatment. This is not quite rich enough for what I need, but nonetheless is an excellent everyday moisturizer. I will keep using when my skin is better, and would highly recommend it for normal skin.

Hi Jo
I'm am very unsure what to do. I actually initially typed a whole load of blurb but changed my mind and didn't seem to be able to delete my post; so I just deleted what I had written with four 'x's which is why it looks a little strange.
As to whether to go ahead with full membership??? I am fortunate that I have over 4 and a half years accounting experience and work as a Bookkeeper in a job I love and am unlikely to leave. The reason I went through the AAT course was to benefit me personally to help me understand the job I perform and not a requirement by the Company. So the whole course was self funded.
I called the AAT twice yesterday looking for reasons and inspiration re full membership and they were disappointing in their response. I asked questions about just how detailed the job description needs to be because I would need to write one as currently there isn't one. They couldn't give me a real answer that helped
Also, in order to obtain full membership I now have to ask my boss to confirm that I have all this experience which means means I am unable to obtain this qualification without them even though they have (my choice) had nothing to do with it to date.
Also, what about some of my classmates. Some have no accounts experience and so cannot apply yet anyhow.
I have researched quite a bit about other peoples views and it seems mixed. Some say all you get is a magazine, while others ask why you would study so hard and not bother with the full qualification.
I am so confused and my current membership runs out I less than 10 days
Thank you for asking though Jo x
I think it's worth it. It's not liek a GCSE or an A Level - it's a professional qualification so membership fees are part and parcel of it. In my mind the qualification on its own is only half of it. Part of me wonders why people go through it all, only to not bother becoming a member.
Is there a problem with getting your boss to sign off on your experience? That's a normal part of gaining membership.
Membership shows a level of professionalism and experience over and above just passing exams.
On the flip side, if you have a job you're not going to leave, and they don't need you to have the letters after your name, then why spend your money on an ego boost if you don't feel the need to?
Ultimately it's up to you - only you know whether you a) need it b) want it c) think it's good value for money.Professional Tea Consumption Technician
Hi Monsoon
methinks you should write a book
How do I know what to charge? [/b] (+other MIP blog posts)
MIP Fees Survey Results
Hi Flakie, I'd agree with Monsoon that it's up to you and your personal circumstances at the end of the day, but even though you're comfortable in you job at the moment, what if circumstances changed? It could be much more difficult to join at a later date.
I'm a little disappointed that the AAT were unable to inspire you to join. I personally think that membership offers much more than just a magazine. Whilst I feel on top of my job at the moment, things are changing all the time and I find the discipline and structure of CPD and the local AAT branch events very helpful indeed. The free Excel training course for members available through the website is another example of practical benefits from membership which I find useful. (Also, the fee is a little bit easier to swallow now it can be spread out).
As for the description of experience for membership, I basically updated my CV and used a similar albeit slightly expanded format to that.
You can probably tell that I'm in the 'why you would study so hard and not bother with the full qualification' camp but why not at least give it a try and get involved?
Thank you to everyone who has responded so far and I feel the need to agree with everything that has been said.
I am absolutely over the moon with what I and others have achieved; it's fantastic. With regards my boss signing off my work experience, well it was more a matter of principle really; I have go this far alone and as there is no job description in place, it would mean putting one together (which is a good idea anyway) but then getting it signed off when I 'am' the accounts dept and he wouldn't really know what he is signing off and why should his signature stand between me and full membership.
On another note; I had a call from a lovely lady who works at the AAT after she read my post and she was able shed light on any questions I had but more importantly than that she informed me of a way in putting forward my work experience without involving the Company; which was all I wanted to know yesterday.
So the AAT do read our posts and they do care and listen - so - full membership here I come - decision made thanks everyone x
would you mind telling us what do you have to do to prove your experience without involving your boss? Would really appreciate it
Hi Flakie, you've obviously decided to go with full membership (good for you) so you don't need any more persuading but I thought I would add a couple of things in case anyone else is unsure. A friend of mine passed her AAT years ago but kept her full membership going even once she stopped paid work to be a stay at home mum. She felt it was important to keep up to date with the accounting world so that she would find it easier should she decide to re enter the workforce.
I haven't quite finished my AAT myself (still have ICAS to complete), but I'm living in Australia now and I have been advised to gain full membership from the UK amd maintain this by the equivalent organisation over here.
Hi. Yes what Victoria from the AAT said I could do is use our appointed Accountants. I could do this because they audit my work regularly and have known me for more than 6 months. Also as professional bodies themselves and my Company's Accountants, they are familiar with the role I perform and are in a position to confirm what my job role involves etc... Hope this helps x

I too have decided to apply for full membership (having read your post). I just have to wait for my college to confirm competent on my icas and credit management projects before I can do so ( even though both were submitted at the end of may).Tracy

Hi There, My boyfriend has dreads and has just discovered that he has head lice. I was wondering if you knew any natural ways to get rid of them as all head lice treatments say to comb them out, which is impossible in his case. He's only had them for a year and is absolutely gutted at the thought of cutting them off. We've tried white vinegar and tea tree oil which seems to kill them for a week or so but then their back. He will try anything and blatantly refuses to get the chop. Thanks
Hello sweetie! Awful problem, my son caught them when he was in Primary School "mum, I have bugs in my hair!"
There are lots of natural remedies and old remedies, the problem is, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. It is really a case of trial and error i'm afraid.
Neem Oil has anti-parasitic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. They use this oil a lot in India for the treatment of head and body lice and disorders of the skin. A treatment would involve dousing the entire head with the oil, making sure to soak the roots properly. Wrap the head tightly with cling film (saran wrap, plastic wrap) and wear a shower cap to keep the cling film in place. Sleep with this overnight. The idea here is to smother the insects, basically suffocate and drown them. Other oils that can be used in place of Neem, include Sunflower and Olive.
Quassia (Quassia amara) wood chips can be boiled in water and left to steep for a few hours. The resulting infusion is poured into a spray bottle and used to liberally saturate the head. I purchase all of my bulk herbs from here.
You can also try using mayonnaise and again wrap the head in plastic as mentioned before with the oils and left overnight.
Other people use the acidic qualities of Cola soda drinks, although sticky because of the sugar residue it tends to have the same effect as using vinegar.
I've been hearing good things about Cetaphil Face Cleanser, its used in the same way as hair conditioner. The head is saturated and then covered tightly and left overnight, again the aim is to deny the lice oxygen so they eventually suffocate. By the same principal, I guess you could use regular hair conditioner.
Okay, these are the treatments that I know about but it's not just the lice you have to kill, its the eggs (nits). They lay millions of them. This is probably why the lice keep coming back on your boyfriends head. I am so sorry to say this but he is going to have to comb out his dreads entirely or shave his head. The dead lice must be combed out. The eggs must be combed out. There is no other way. You may succeed in eventually killing both lice and eggs but I can't imagine he would want their corpses stuck in his hair forever!
Do make sure to boil sheets and pillowcases and clothing. These creatures are pesky little survivors. Also, it's probably a good idea to apply the same treatments to your hair, its likely you may also become infested.
Okay, now I feel really bad having instructed the killing of insects :(
Peace & Love.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had these mittens for 5 years now... They are super warm. I almost always use them without the liners, b/c even w/o the liners my hands get so hot. The material is also very durable. Like I said, I've had them for 5 years and they're still going strong. I've gotten so used to them that I can even tie my boots with them on. These are awesome!
Not true to size

- Gender: Male
Runs really small, If you have big hands look elsewhere. I am 6'4 180 lb size 12.5 shoe. The XL size mitts were too small for me. My last pair of gloves were from dakine and they fit me fine. These mitts are to short moth in the main finger area and at the thumb. I would return them but with return shipping cost to backcountry.com coming in around 25% of the original cost I'm gonna try to sell them locally
The GREAT DAKINE
Member since
these are truly great mittens. I am a first time mitten user after years of wearing good quality gloves for my crazy skiing adventures. Winter after winter of cold hands and some great suggestions from friends and I got the DAKINE Scout Mittens. Living in the VT I need something that will stay dry, keep hands warm and still be functional while playing hard all over the Mountain.
Great Mittens

Bought these mittens expecting an average quality of a glove.. These mittens are great! fit is awesome and they are extremely warm! come with inserts which is really nice! My hands sweat in them every time I use them. Best mittens I have owned by far

Def. not the right mitts for him. I'm 6'4 and their too small
Nice Mittens

Great mittens, are very water and windproof and were too warm with included mitten liners. My only small complaint is they seem to run a little small in length.

Are the liners mitt liners or glove liners?
Member since
mitten liners
Exactly what the doctor ordered
Member since
I had glovers but they just were not doing the job, I have always been skeptical about the fingers being usable in Mittens. Well not anymore. Keep my hands and fingers hot, even when I take gloves off to capture a pic or vid, fingers are frozen when I slip em back on, within a min they are nice and toasty again.
And the goggle scraper comes in real handy during storms
Not as warm as expected.
Member since
I tend to have cold fingers and toes when boarding, so I ordered these 1 size larger than usual to leave room for heat packs. I wear a Medium in Mechanix gloves, so I ordered a Large in these mittens and put a heat pack in each hand in between the fleece liner and the outer shell. The temperature was in the single digits with the wind chill dropping below zero at times.
These mittens were toasty on sunny days with the temp in the 20's without heat packs.
Member since
These Mittens are the best. I recently went boarding and it was freezing out, yet I had to take off the liners because my hands were sweating. This mits are the real deal and I love em!
Toasty and Dry
Member since
I had a chance to try out these gloves tonight, and they performed admirably. It was pretty cold, and I never used the liners, and yet my hands stayed warm all night. I tend to pull off my gloves a lot, so having the liners on would have impeded my ability to use my hands, so I decided against using them unless I needed them. They were warm enough on their own, and even once my hands got so cold it became hard to use them, I'd put the mittens on and have toasty fingers in a matter of minutes (which I attribute half to the build quality of the mittens, half to mere fact that all my fingers are now in contact with each other and can warm up faster). The goggle wipe is only on the left thumb, which is nice so that if you have to wipe your nose, you still have a remaining thumb to do it with. Though having the goggle wipe at all is quite nice.
Great mittens, great price, so why 4 stars? Because I'm picky, and ideally I'd be able to have a mitten with a zippered pocket on the top so I could drop a hothands packet in there to keep my fingers super warm all the time. Like I said, I'm picky, but in my eyes that would flat-out be a better mitten.
Killer Mittens
Member since
Just had a week with these guys in South Lake Tahoe. Moderate temps meant I never used the liners - my hands were plenty toasty the entire time. Nice tough cordura-like material, great fit and plenty of mobility. I've used the liners on their own for snowshoeing and similar activities and been very pleased. Think of'em as a two-fer. Highly recommended, will never go back to gloves.
Member since
Great mitt, keeps the snow out and heat in. I wore them today with some cold weather cycling gloves I have - it was between 20-30ish, but my hands stayed toasty. They'd probably be warmer with the included mitten liners. They have a strap to tether them to your wrist and the gauntlets are super easy to cinch up around your jacket sleeve. The left mitt also has a little rubber tab to squeegee your goggles. Wear the mitts, wear the liners, wear both, put your own liners in them... you've got a lot of options with these.
Member since
First pair of mittens and they are super warm. Doubt i'll ever have to use the liners that come with. Mittens are obviously bulky and less tactile but i'll trade that for the all day warm they provide. Great Mitten for the Price.
busted when I got em'
Member since
They were nice mittens, but when I received them, the cuff cinch was broken. Love BC.com's return policy! No complaints
Bryan Tello
Member since
I just got these mittens. They are bad a$$! They fit and feel like greatness. Didn't give 5 stars because I haven't taken them up to the slopes.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Shove over all-time greats, Bolt's a-comin'
MOSCOW -- Make room, Carl Lewis. You too, Michael Johnson.
Usain Bolt could join your elite company by the time these 2013 world championships are finished.
The hard-charging, fun-seeking Jamaican will chase two more world titles this week that could give him eight in his career, tying him with Lewis and Johnson for most all-time.
These days, Bolt hardly takes a backseat to them, or anyone else. Plus, he's in charge of rescuing a sport that's been recently riddled with doping offences. Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Sherone Simpson all tested positive weeks before the competition. Then, Trinidad and Tobago sprinter Kelly-Ann Baptiste withdrew from the 100 because she's involved in a doping case, her federation said Monday.
Another doping cloud hovering over track.
"Every time drugs are brought up, it's hurtful to the sport. I hate it," said former sprinter Maurice Greene, who has won five world titles. "Track needs stars like Bolt. But he's not the only person in this sport that's a star. We have plenty of stars. But it's good that he shows his personality. He's able to have fun with the crowd. That's why people gravitate to him. That's why they love him.
"More than that, you need to have great races to overcome all of that (bad) news."
Bolt's rain-soaked performance Sunday night certainly qualifies as a memorable race.
Usually, Bolt provides the magnetism on the track. This time, Mother Nature took care of it with flashes of lightning off in the distance.
In stormy conditions, Bolt rallied after falling behind Justin Gatlin to recapture his 100 title. Sun, rain, heat, whatever, the conditions really don't matter because the fastest man on Earth always seems in his element when he steps on the track.
"I continue to work on my aim to become a legend by collecting gold medals and athlete of year titles," Bolt said.
He may already be there.
"For right now, yeah, you have to say he is the best," said Greene, who stood at a booth and signed autographs for nearly an hour, just across from a giant cutout of Bolt that had fans lining up to take photos. "Look at his race last night. He showed why he's a champion, because he's able to overcome everything and come out with a win."
The only thing standing in the way of Bolt and his quest for two more titles may be fatigue. He's already feeling the strain, saying his legs were quite sore after the 100.
"I need some rest," said Bolt, who won the 100 in 9.77 seconds. "I didn't feel up to it. My body wasn't there, but the win is always what I came in for and to regain my title. I did just that, so I am happy with myself."
This also was a form of redemption, considering he false-started during the final in South Korea two years ago.
"I wanted to do a better time, but was not able to because of the weather," Bolt said of Sunday's race. "Not singing in the rain, but running in the rain."

Jeweled Wedding
The bottom tier is made up of ruffled petals placed on top of one another, with a pearl dragee center, I started out with 25 flower blossom made up of 4 different sizes but wanted a fuller look so ended up with a total of 42 flower blossom that make 840 petals not counting the individuals ones placed to cover any gaps, that said I will probably never again attempt the bottom tier again! The topper is my version of a fantasy flower a magnolia center with lilly petals idk what I was thinking I like the out come though. I also used a Martha Stewert mold and a Marina Sousa mold made by Marvelous Molds other rhan that there was a lot of tweezer action and edible glue.

13. How to True a Wheel
Aspects of wheel truing covered include radial, lateral, centering (or dishing) and spoke tension.
Aspects of wheel truing covered include radial, lateral, centering (or dishing) and spoke tension.
Wheel truing is a delicate procedure that requires time and patience. In this tutorial I'll try and demonstrate the many aspects as clearly as possible. Ideally you'll want to have a wheel truing stand, good lighting and a comfortable workspace.
If you don't have a truing stand, lateral, or side to side adjustments can be done using your brake pads as a guide. If truing the wheel on your bike, be sure to deflate the tire before you begin. For radial, or up and down adjustments, you can use an L-square as a guide by attaching it to your fork or frame.
It is very important to use the correct size spoke wrench to avoid stripping the spoke nipples.
Before you begin, carefully inspect your wheel for any bent or broken spokes. Make sure your hub bearings don't have any play and then carefully squeeze a drop of light oil into all of your spoke holes.
Spoke nipples have a regular right-hand thread, but that while you're truing a wheel, you will be looking at the nipple upside-down, so you have to turn the spoke wrench clockwise to loosen and counter-clockwise to tighten.
Make sure the spoke doesn't turn with the nipple, which will cause it to twist and break. If it does turn, apply some light oil to the nipple threads and try again.
If a spoke does break while you're truing, it'll shoot out the spoke hole with great force, so be careful not to place your face in line with the rim. Safety glasses are highly recommended.
To check radial alignment, place the guide near the highest point on the outer edge of your rim. Find the high spots in your rim by spinning the wheel and correct them by tightening both left and right side spokes evenly. Correct any low spots by equally loosening the spokes in the effected area.
Tighten or loosen spokes in 1/4 turn increments. For example, if the effected area spans the length of four spokes, tighten all four spokes 1/4 turn, and then tighten the middle two spokes another 1/4 turn. Then re-check the radial alignment and repeat the process as needed.
To check lateral adjustment, place the guide close to the rim sidewall and look for high spots on either side. To correct a left or right high spot, tighten the spoke that leads to the opposing hub flange and equally loosen the spoke that leads to the hub flange on the same side as the high spot.
Just like radial adjustments, tighten or loosen the spokes in 1/4 increments. Again if the effected area spans four spokes, loosen and tighten all four spokes 1/4 turn, and then loosen and tighten the middle two spokes another 1/4 turn.
Re-check the lateral alignment and re-adjust as needed. Remember that on the rear wheel, the right side spokes have a lesser angle and effect lateral movement less than the left. The left side spokes have greater angle and effect radial alignment less than right. To compensate for this difference, the right side spokes should be adjusted two turns for every turn on left.
Rims should be exactly centered between the axle nuts. To check this you can use either a dishing tool, or your frame to check the measurement on each side.
If the rim is off-center, pull it in either direction by equally tightening all of the spokes on one side 1/4 turn, and loosening all of the spokes on the other. Then check the alignment again and repeat the process until the rim is centered.
To check spoke tension, pluck each spoke in the middle and listen to the sound. On the front wheel, all of the spokes should sound the same on both sides. On the rear wheel, each side should sound slightly different, but the spokes on each side should sound the same as each other.
Most people don't have a spoke tensiometer, so it's a good idea to compare the sound of your spokes to the sound of a wheel that you already know has proper tension. Remember that spoke changes effect the whole wheel, so you might have to repeat these steps several times before it is true.
After the wheel is true you should always pre-stress the spokes and re-adjust before riding. Failure to do this could cause broken spokes later. There are two ways to do this. The first way is to squeeze together the parellel spokes on both sides of the wheel. The second method involves resting the wheel sideways on the floor and gently pushing down on both sides of the rim, all the way around the wheel in 1/8 increments.
After pre-stressing the spokes you will usually have to re-check and make some minor adjustments. If after stressing the wheel you notice that your rim is severly warped, it means that your spoke tension is too high. Loosen all of the spokes 1/2 turn and re-true the wheel.
If I spin a wheel and it does not make contact with my disk pads, is it "true"?... Read more >>
Hi everybody.
I'm having troubles changing tires on on Van Schothorst stainless steel rims (widely used on Raleigh, Batavus and other retro style bikes).

I have an Avaya 27" wheel. On one side of the hub, the bearings were pushed out.
I purchased a new set of bearings for both sides (the kind that come in a casing, not loose), greased everything up and made thumb tight. One side, I couldn't even tighten/loosen, which wasn't an issue.
Maybe a month later, both sides are now pushed out, the bearings/casing is bent, making it unable to put the seal back on, and the wheel wobbles probably within 1/2" each way. I obviously made a mistake somewhere, but I'm not sure where.... possibilities:

Is it possible to go from 7 to 10 on the rear wheel. The bike is a schwinn sidewinder sold at walmart. I think it is a freewheel. It's a pretty decent bike, it get's me around without costing too much.
if it is going to cost more than the bike is worth, than I will live with 7 on the back, but the rear gear needs to be replaced one way or the other. I would like to go to 10, but not if it will cost alot of money.

I've been having a terrible time trying to remove a very old Regina America Freewheel. I purchased a Park FR4 remover from a local bike shop. However, the tool would not fit over the ridged round "nut" on the outside of the wheel. A tech at the shop indicated that I should try to "tap" the "nut" in to access the freewheel locking nut. I gave it quite a few "taps" (actually, hard raps) with no success. I tried using a vise to press on it, also with no success. I'm trying to replace a broken spoke on the freewheel side of the wheel and have been off the bike for 2 weeks... Read more >>

I've got an older set of 700 wheels that should be replaced with a set I picked up recently. The problem is that the newer set has a 135mm rear dropout spacing axle and the old set is 126mm, which fits my older road bike frame. The newer set has a 9 speed cassette and the older is a 7 speed cassette.
Can I change the axle in the newer set to fit my older frame and will the older 7 speed cassette work fine or do I need to change the cassette freewheel??... or if there is a better way... ?

I have had built a custom rear rim which uses a Novatec D042 hub. I received the rim back via courier yesterday, fitted the tube and tyre on and mounted it back on the frame (a Specialized Cross Trail Sport Disc hybrid).

I have an old road bike with very narrow tires. I plan to use this as a commuter bike, so I'd like to swap out to thicker tires, something like the Schwalbe Marathons. The wheel size currently is 700c.
The issue that I have is that the fork crown is very close to the current narrow tire. I've attached a picture. The only option I can think of is that I need to get a slightly smaller wheel and also possibly new brakes with long-reach.
I wondered if anybody has suggestions or other ideas.

I broke two spokes and resolved to fix them myself.
I removed the cassette on the wheel, removed the broken spokes, thread the new spokes through the hub and the other spokes, but I cannot get the new spokes to screw into the old nipples. Or, rather, I can get them started, but there is a point past which my spoke wrench will not turn.
I am starting to think that I need to replace the old nipple with the new nipple that came with the new spoke.
Now that I type it out it seems obvious, but is this right? New spokes will not always go into old nipple?

great! now who speaks dutch?
Whenever I see plywood used in homes I think of that plywood smell at the hardware store Rickel which I loved going to with my dad because it had a Simpson's game at the end of the checkout. The store has since closed down. I'm assuming a room full of plywood doesn't smell like a hardware store, or does it?

I love this idea! Minimal and affordable. Anyone have any idea as to what the weight limit might be on the benches?
Really love this - have always wanted to build my own furniture, and this would be a great way to start!
I clicked translate, yet the measurements were still in metric ;)
We're going to attempt this as our first DIY ever. Which leads to my next question . . . would it work to drill a hole in the middle of the table for an umbrella (with a stand below) or would it a) be way more complicated than that and/or b) compromise the structure of the table? Thanks!
@havenobsessed - a) I don't think it would be complicated, but this particular design combines two of the benches to make one table, if you notice. b) I think it would be easy to adjust the measurements to allow for an umbrella, but a child sized umbrella -- if you made this two big, not sure that you would use plywood and the design without getting some sagging for the table.
Love the translation!

I love me some stubborn benches.
In all seriousness, this seems pretty simple. Too bad plywood is actually kinda expensive :(

World-famous art auctioneers Bonhams are calling on Bristolians who may have original Banksy artworks to get in touch for a free valuation, in advance of their first Urban Art sale in California later this year.
A selection of works by the Bristol graffiti artist will go under the hammer on October 29 in Los Angeles. Among the works on sale are Precision Bombing, estimated at $35,000–45,000 (around £22,400-28,800), and Winnie the Pooh, estimated at $50,000–80,000 (around £32,000-51,000).
Ahead of the sale, a number of works by Banksy, including Precision Bombing, have been newly discovered in the Bristol area, where the artist spent much of his youth. Now, the auctioneers will be visiting the city to search for more lost gems.
Alan Montgomery, urban art specialist at Bonhams, said: "The market for Banksy is flourishing. It is very encouraging to see people coming forward with extraordinary pieces that have been in their collection since his early exhibitions in Bristol. This area has a fantastic wealth of the artist's works which collectors bought for relatively low amounts of money in the early days of his career, but which now fetch incredible prices at auction.
"We are noticing a growing international following for urban art and especially for works by Banksy, with a number of big-name Hollywood collectors. Los Angeles is fast becoming a hub for urban art, with The Museum of Contemporary Art's exhibition Art in the Streets held in Los Angeles last year. This is an exciting time for us to launch our first-ever Los Angeles Urban Art sale and we are expecting significant interest from across the globe."
Bonhams Urban Art specialists Alan Montgomery and Gareth Williams will be visiting the local area to search for further Banksy works.
So, if you think you have an early Banksy original, contact Alan Montgomery on 020 7468 5878 or email@example.com, or Gareth Williams on 020 7468 5879 or email@example.com

We have talked at length about the holes that the New York Jets offense has as we move closer to week one against the Buffalo Bills. There are many spots that need fine tuning, and one of them is at running back. The Jets are in dire need of a second back to complement Shonn Greene, and take the load off of his back a bit. The only guy that the Jets acquired to address this need, Terrance Ganaway, was released on Friday.
But, could the help come in the form of a trade?
LeGarrette Blount might be the answer, if he can be acquired. The Tampa Bay Bucs, Blount's current team, signed a running back yesterday, claiming DJ Ware off of waivers from the New York Giants. He clearly will be the backup running back with the Bucs, making Blount expendable. A rumor was reported in a Tampa Bay newspaper that the Bucs might be interested in trading Blount. Tanny should give Tampa Bay a call. Why? Turn the page.

It would have been fun to see Wolverine wearing his cowboy hat like he does in the comics. And I'd like to see all the companies involved in the Marvel films actually put aside their squabbles so we can have some crossovers. AvX anyone?
Sep 11th 2013, 9:55
"We're from different worlds. Maybe they were separate for a reason."
Sep 11th 2013, 10:36
Id like to see a cross over, but not avenger vs xmen. House of M maybe.
Sep 11th 2013, 13:05
Weird we're only hearing about this now, so long after Raimi's films and the first X-Men movies. Jackman has mentioned cross-overs before, but didn't say anything about this, which makes me wonder how close it did actually come to happening and how much of it was just Jackman and Raimi talking about stuff?
Sep 11th 2013, 13:32
I think the problem with all the kind of cross over stuff in the superhero films is that it might work in a comic but doesn't really on film. I saw Iron Man 3 after I had seen the Avengers and all the way through it I kept thinking...why don't you just call the Hulk? He's hard and will take care of these extremis soldier guys for you in about 10 seconds. Same when the do this Batman v Superman thing - they are taking about doing more Batman films after that and Justice League. But then the next time he is getting is a**e kicked by Bane I will be thinking why don't you just call Superman up? He could simply pick Bane up and gently fly into outer space with him until he suffocates. Problem solved.

I have wondered why Sony and Fox don't join their Marvel characters together. It would probably be an easier deal to make than having to approach Disney.
Sep 12th 2013, 4:54
As far as wondering where other characters are, It is ment to be happening at the same time so when the next hulk, thor, movies are coming out they will be taking place the same time as Iron Man 3
Sep 12th 2013, 5:51
@spid2411: That same problem occurs in comics, though. It's kind of handwaved with "everybody's busy dealing with their own problems". I think it's more one of those Acceptable Breaks From Reality-type of deals. Some movie goers still have to come to terms with that, it seems.
Sep 12th 2013, 10:12
Nah, not a fan of it in movies. I prefer the Nolan Batman movies where there is a kind of attempt to ground the fantasy into reality. He is just a guy in a suit - the villains are just nutters with face paint or masks. There is an intelligence to the Batman stuff (hence the academic books on the Dark Knight) and the complexity of the villains and what they represent. That approach though is completely undermined when Superman turns up - becomes something else then so I would prefer the universes were kept separate. For the Marvel stuff it is maybe less significant basically because that stuff doesn't have any real depth. Their films have all been pretty forgettable (would never see any of them again really - pretty formulaic with dreadful villains) but maybe the fact that the characters are not that interesting anyway means they NEED cross overs like The Avengers to work. Spider-man was the exception in their comic world and was as close to Batman as they came - he doesn't need Hugh Jackman with his top off scowling (to confirm he is hard) through his movies. Do Marvel own the rights to the Spider-man movies or is that Sony?

Yeah, opinions. What are you gonna do.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the conviction of Lake County resident, Randall Ritch, for Medicaid fraud, operating an unlicensed health care clinic, and identity theft.
Ritch pled guilty to four felony counts, and he was sentenced to 15 years of probation and was ordered to pay more than $83,000 in restitution to the Florida Medicaid program.
In June 2013, following an investigation, the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit arrested Ritch for submitting nearly 800 false claims to the Medicaid program.
The case was prosecuted by the State Attorney's Office, Fifth Judicial Circuit of Florida.
