I have been trying to start my engine today and it did run before i started work on it a few months ago however it ran badly. Now it won't even fire! I have checked fuel delivery, which is good, and i checked the spark between the wires which go from the distributor to the spark plugs. I checked the spark by putting a bolt in the wire and holding it about 1/8 away from the block. There is no spark at any of the wires. I then checked the distributor by taking off the cap and checking the spark there. It had a spark. My question is this. If there is a spark in the distributor, what could it be? The wires possibly?
Any suggestions of what to do next would be helpful.
Thanks in advance and sorry to keep asking questions.

As always it is hard to give advice without actually putting our hands on the project in question, but I might could give you some ideas. If your distributor and coil is functioning properly as you say it is, I would check the rotor in the distributor. Sometimes they get a build up on the tip after sitting for a while. Lightly clean the rotor tip as well as the terminals inside the cap. Also check the top of the rotor where it contacts the carbon button for the coil wire. If it is not dirty, check to see if it is making contact with the carbon button in the cap and what condition the carbon button is in. I have had brand new cap and rotors that did not fit up correctly a couple of times.

Assuming you tested the coil the same way, bolt, 1/8" from block...
You are basically left with:
Bad cap/rotor - or weak spark.
First thing, check your grounds back to the battery and check the battery itself. While the engine is cranking, the difference in voltage from the engine block to negative post on the battery should be less than 1 V. (this is sort of a load test). If its higher, clean all the connections and retest. BTW, I had once forgotten to put the ground strap back on the motor. The Motor grounded itself via the shifter cable - which promply fused/welded itself making it impossible to shift. So just because you have a ground, doesn't mean you have a good one.
If there is a condenser (capacitor) might want to replace that just to be sure.
A dwell meter will let you know if the coil is being fully energized.
There are various tools that will tell you if a spark is strong enough. OTC makes an electronic version. There are spark gap simulators - essentially a controlled gap (bigger gaps require bigger voltages). The ultimate tool is an oscilloscope.
BTW, high spark voltage is also a bad sign - means your gaps are too big. Normal ignition voltages are typically around 20K Volts (sometimes as low as 12K). As your spark plugs wear, the gaps get bigger and the voltages go up. A cracked spark plug can send voltages to 40KVCon Fuse!

Friday, September 28, 2001Greensboro, N.C. — The UNC Greensboro Spartans (5-3, 2-1 SoCon) dominated the East Tennessee State Buccaneers (1-6-1, 0-3 SoCon) Friday night. The UNCG freshman duo of Rakel Logadottir and Jaime Ableman each recorded a hat trick to lead the Spartans past ETSU, 1-8, at the UNCG Soccer Stadium. Logadottir opened the scoring for UNCG in the 9th minute with her third goal of the season. Ableman put the Spartans up, 3-0, with a pair of goals in the 23rd and 25th minute. The Spartans kept applying pressure on ETSU throughout the second half. Ableman tallied her sixth goal of the season at 53:01, while Logadottir added a pair of goals in the 62nd and 78th minute, respectively. Kate Dylag and Megan Bynum each added a goal each. ETSU's lone goal came from Kristin Redfern at the 51st minute, which is her fifth goal of the year. Redfern took three of of the team's four shots of the night. UNCG dominated the match from the opening whistle. The Bucs were out-shot 33-4. UNCG used two goalkeepers and each registered one save on the night. The Buccaneers will travel to Davidson, N.C. on Sunday, Sept. 30th to play the Davidson Wildcats at 2:00 p.m.

It's easy to stumble into extra work––hosting a family dinner, or volunteering to come into the office on a weekend. But what's not so easy? Stumbling into something that you enjoy. Which is precisely what Andrew did. He and his wife made a wood sign for their home, and all of the sudden Andrew found himself painting and hand-distressing states all over the place. It was a good problem to have. Every piece is unique––from the wood grain to the staining to the distressing, all of which Andrew does by hand. Now he doesn't have to stay late at the office, and he's okay with this.

An open letter to America:
Now that the election is over, and all the cheers and appreciations are expressed, we need to face tomorrow. For a very long time I did not think America could fail, but during the past year I had doubts about the continuity of the American Dream, which I learned in 1957, for future generations. I saw cracks in that magical balloon, encompassing that wish, which the entire world yearns to achieve.
I join Mitt Romney in prayer for the president, as we all should, so he may govern our country with wisdom, strength and courage as his task is massive and expectations of him are high. I encourage the president to daily call upon Almighty God for blessings as our forefathers did before heavy undertakings as only with blessings from God can he govern justly.
This election is a clear testimony to the intent of the Founding Fathers that the power of the government derived from the people through the concept of popular sovereignty. So regardless who was our candidate, after the election we have one president, who is the recipient of the people's trust (through the majority of the electors). So, we the people and you Mr. President must team up to solve our problems. There is no I in team.
The task before our president is colossal, and the human weakness is the weak link in the chain. The Founding Fathers were aware of that danger, so they placed safeguards to maintain their wish for our future. But, like spoiled children, we selfishly started to dismantle that safeguard. We have cleverly justified and camouflaged them through double talk, to the point that we cannot take each other at our own word. The floor upon which we stand is so moved from its foundation that it is in danger of collapse.
Our national faith is so undermined that it is hardly recognizable. We confuse rights, responsibilities and opportunities, and use them interchangeably for our personal gains (very few admit to personal responsibility). We proclaim to stand up for the weak, helpless and unfortunate. Yet, we yearly kill 1.37 million defenseless in the U.S., 93 percent of which are for social reasons (not that there is a good reason for any) with our government's sanction. How can we call upon God's blessings, and expect Him to help us, when we are removing his word from our lives at every step of the way?
Pornography and child abuse, among many others, are tolerated in the name of art and freedom of speech. Corruption and stealing on the largest scale, we call clever finance, while drug abuse is an uncontrollable evil. Our children, like zombies, mimic lyrics of rock stars full of four-letter words, and I do not mean love or snow, before they memorize the Lord's Prayer. Parental responsibility must be regained from the government. It is not the village's primary responsibility to raise future generations, neither the president's.
Morality cannot be legislated, as it will destroy freedom and lead to militarism. Freedom must be tempered with morality, which originates from self-restraint, and it is a learned trait. Freedom, without morality (absolute freedom) is anarchy. We must find the middle ground — go back to the basics of our Founding Fathers — as it is timeless, with the help of God.
I know, Mr. President, you may think that I am hard on you or may be unreasonable. No, I am not. I know the power of prayer firsthand, and I have confidence in you and in the American people that you are up to the task. You can lead us in prayer, you can set the example for us to follow and you can encourage us. We must clean our house first, before we can tackle the domestic issues. We must strengthen our country, before we can once again be the shining light for the world.
God bless you, Mr. President.
God bless America.

I am having a black and white digital landscape photo printed to frame and hang on the wall and one of the options on offer is 'metallic paper'. What is it and would it be appropriate in this instance?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Photography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional, enthusiast and amateur photographers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
It is like normal paper, except that instead of just paper or plastic backing, it has a sheet of Mylar between the paper and the emulsion.
It is high gloss, and high contrast, abolutely ROCKS black and white prints. Really gives them a lot of depth when they have a good strong light source.

Calvert County Circuit Court Judge E. Gregory Wells sentenced Samuel K. Hance to 15 years in prison Tuesday afternoon after he entered an Alford plea in December to second-degree rape.
An Alford plea acknowledges the state has enough evidence for a conviction but does not admit guilt.
Hance, 21, of St. Leonard was indicted in July on charges of second-degree rape, third-degree sex offense and second-degree assault for allegedly raping a then-14-year-old girl while she was unconscious at a house party in November 2011.
Hance was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with five years suspended, and was given credit for the time he has served in the Calvert County Detention Center since July 2012. He was also placed on five years of supervised probation upon his release. He will have to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life.
"My daughter became a victim of rape at the age of 14," the victim's mother said during a victim impact statement. "[Hance] stole her innocence and turned her world upside down. … This life-altering event won't go away. … Her life has changed forever."
The victim's mother said nothing about the incident has been handled privately because her daughter has been confronted at school by her peers and the incident has been discussed on social media websites.
"This is something the victim has not been able to close a door on," said Assistant State's Attorney Kathryn Marsh.
Public defender Del Lynch said Hance was "remorseful" for his actions. Lynch said he believed some of Hance's "sad history," such as alcoholism, drug abuse and his father's sudden death, led to his poor decision making the night of the incident.
"I'm sorry," Hance said before he was sentenced. "I take full responsibility for my actions that night. There was a lot of alcohol going around that night and I should be held accountable for my actions."
Before handing down the sentence, Wells told Hance that although he may have had "something to drink" the night of the incident, it did not impair his ability to make a decision to "assess the situation," carry the 14-year-old girl, who was unconscious on a couch, upstairs to a bedroom, undress her and rape her.
"You did take advantage of a young lady," Wells said, adding that Hance was "not so intoxicated" as to not understand what he was doing.
Hance also has an extensive criminal history, including charges of theft and drug possession, which show he cannot live "within the confines of the law," Wells said.
Marsh said on Nov. 27, 2011, the 14-year-old girl and a friend went to a party at a house in Lusby where she was drinking alcohol. Marsh said the girl was "hanging out with a friend" all night and became intoxicated, and she then passed out on a couch. The only other thing the girl remembers about the night, Marsh said, is that she woke up in an upstairs bedroom lying on a bed while a man was raping her.
According to charging documents, the girl told troopers she remembered being in the bathroom briefly as people helped her get dressed. She said her leggings and underwear were missing and she remembered she was vomiting while she was in the bed, troopers said. The girl was then driven to Calvert Memorial Hospital, where she received a medical exam, and possible DNA evidence was found. A test of the girl's blood alcohol level resulted in a .158, troopers said.
Police then spoke to witnesses, Marsh said, who said they saw a "man in a black jacket" carry the unconscious girl upstairs and then come back downstairs alone. Troopers identified three possible suspects, two of whom consented to providing a DNA sample. Troopers said they were unable to locate the third suspect, identified as Hance, until Dec. 20, 2011, when he contacted his probation officer.
Hance allegedly told troopers he was at the party and admitted to carrying the girl upstairs, according to charging documents. Hance said he went back downstairs after taking the girl upstairs and refused to provide DNA samples, troopers said.
A search and seizure warrant for Hance's DNA was granted Jan. 5, and the warrant was served Jan. 11, 2012. The DNA was tested by the Maryland State Police Crime Laboratory in Pikesville, and troopers received the results Feb. 26, 2012, which state Hance's DNA matched the DNA evidence collected at the hospital.
Hance was originally arrested and charged July 9 in Calvert County District Court on charges of second-degree rape and second-degree assault. A week later, Hance was indicted in circuit court.

Four years ago, the OpenOffice.org Marketing Project put together some web pages to present the case for using OpenOffice.org, which we called Why OpenOffice.org? It's a sign of the increasing level of worry in Microsoft that they have now produced their own Why Microsoft? pages.
The arguments each make are interesting. For example, Microsoft's biggest crank against OpenOffice is that it doesn't work with all of Microsoft's online apps: OpenOffice.org doesn't provide email, calendaring, companion web applications, mobile applications, or out-of–the-box integration with companion products like SharePoint and Exchange—a limitation that can impact your user's, and your IT departments, productivity. If you're not locked-in, your company is losing out!
OpenOffice's argument is more simple: It's built on an open source development model using the open document format (ODF), it's easy to use, and it's free, free, free! Okay, we get it.

Hello all,
This suggestion is concerning the page that loads up when you are submitting a comment/critique on challenge entries. You get only the comment box, and are unable to see the entry on the same page. If I'm not mistaken (and I could be), when you do this same thing on an article within the critique circle, you can view the entry on the same page.
The format on the critique circle page is much nicer, making it easier to refer back to the article as you critique/comment.
Can the challenge entries be set up in a similar manner?
Thanks for listening,

[QUOTE=dabar39;171281]It looks as if I'm gonna have to recall all 647 trailers built at my location, all this time I thought myself and the other trailer manufacturers had something going with our designs. Boy, I guess we were wrong, 1" tubing and balsa wood was all we ever needed.
I can not even imagine how great a loss of profits I've had by not using 1" tube for the frames. Just thinking of the money I have spent on what I thought were the proper materials astounds me. I probably would'a been a gazillionaire by now.
At least it's not too late for me to reinvent the wheel, starting today I will start offering all of my trailers with a 1" square tube truss design frame as it is so much better than what we have commonly seen on the open trailer market. I'm sure all of the other manufacturers will follow this new engineering design as well.
hey man.........don't forget the CA

members are used in all sorts of structures. Whether it's economical to
build or operate, or even do the design work, or whether it's better
than current practice, is another question...
in a city that is in a country that does things like routinely
builds substandard schools that collapse in earthquakes,
or adds poisons to baby formula. I am not so sure that anyone
in that unnamed country really cares whether a trailer is adequate
to the job or not - even if it is pulled by bicycle
I do have a serious question though... Is it "reasonable" to use
tube for something like a trailer? I'm asking because, it seems to me,
a tube could corrode from the inside, and you'd never know about it
until enough material was lost that the member did not have adequate
strength and then kablooey. (I'm not planning to build a trailer, I have
neither the need nor the skills -- I'm just curious)
Thanks in advance
ok, thanks, I'm all screwed up now. I was just getting ready to buy metal to build a motorcycle trailer using angle iron. Brute throws in the idea of 1" tubing and now the truss design.

In light of the recent events I have an announcement to make
I am currently working on an engineering marvel pertaining to a new design for motorcycle trailers.
I can't release too many details until the patent goes through,.......... but I can tell you this much, the new motorcycle trailer will be a rather simple concept and it involves two skateboards and a piece of rope. If you can wait long enough for the patent to go through I will gladly send you a copy of the plans.
Thanks to all who have helped me look outside the box and come up with this new design. Royalties will be paid to all contributing members.If necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

torsion vs walking
anybody with experience building or pulling trailers chime in. i am looking at a 12 or 14' deck-over trailer, tandem axle(3500#), using a hidden hitch to pull it. the primary uses will be to put my welding skid on it or 2 quads. which would be a better axle to put under it? a torsion axle or a walking style spring axle?07 f350 duallie w/deck

Bonesteele Park is named after the Bonesteeles, a prominent Oregon family. The patriarch, Harry F. Bonesteele, was born in Rochester, New York, on March 17, 1869. He married Miss Effie Shannon, of Montana, in 1898. They had four boys: Ernest, Russell, Wallace and Raymond.
Mr. H. F. Bonesteele and his wife arrived in Oregon around 1906 and bought a home near Portland. He financed the construction of two warehouses near Tigard and began his career as a broker for Sealy Mattresses and various hardware specialties. Bonesteele then progressed into the automobile field, and established a Ford dealership in 1915.
In 1916, Bonesteele, a well-known and successful businessman, moved to Salem where he began operating a Dodge dealership, the Bonesteele Motor Company, downtown near Commercial Street. In 1922, he built a new office at the dealership and expanded his business into other areas including automobile repairs, services and parts.
The land for Marion County's Bonesteele Park was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Russell F. Bonesteele on December 18, 1972. Russell, the son of H.F. Bonesteele and an active resident of Salem, served several terms as mayor and as a state legislator in the mid 1900s. He and his wife were also well-known benefactors to the Salem Memorial Hospital.

Marcellus Shale drilling again came up as a key topic Monday night during a Spring Creek Township Board of Supervisors meeting.
Supervisor Donna Kosick suggested the potential adoption of an ordinance to ban hydraulic fracturing immediately while various legal battles regarding Marcellus Shale continue.
The practice, also known as fracking, involves propagating a fracture in a rock layer while using the pressure of a fluid as the source of energy. A number of the chemicals in the fluid are said to be hazardous and may cause health risks ranging from rashes to cancer.
"In all these meetings that we've gone to and the seminars that we've attended, back when no one was paying any attention to what the gas companies were doing, there was an act that they put across that protected them," said fellow supervisor Richard Wittman. "All you can do is try to zone it to the protection of your people. That is what Pittsburgh is doing."

Interpretive Handbook
89302 :
Gadolinium, Dermal, Tissue
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Gadolinium is a member of the lanthanide series of the periodic table of elements and is considered a nonessential element. Due to its paramagnetic properties, chelated gadolinium is commonly employed as contrast media for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) scanning.
Gadolinium is eliminated primarily by the renal filtration. In healthy subjects with normal renal function, the plasma half-life of gadolinium is approximately 90 minutes. Patients with reduced renal function exhibit increased gadolinium excretion half-life.
Patient with reduced renal function exposed to gadolinium chelates used as MRI or CT contrast media may be affected by nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). In this syndrome, prolonged retention of gadolinium is thought to allow the gadolinium cation to dissociate from its synthetic organic chelator and deposit predominantly in the skin, although other organs may be affected as well. These patients are often severely debilitated by progressive skin thickening and tightening. Fibrosis of skeletal muscle, lungs, liver, testes, and myocardium have also been observed, often with fatal results.
Three hemodialysis treatments are required to substantially remove gadolinium from patients with impaired renal function; peritoneal dialysis is not effective.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of dermal tissue for gadolinium
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Elevated gadolinium (>0.5 mcg/g) observed in affected dermal tissue specimens collected more than 48 hours after administration of gadolinium-containing contrast media indicates gadolinium deposition. These patients may have increased risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).
In individuals with NSF, affected tissues are likely to contain gadolinium at concentrations in the range of 4 to 186 mcg/g. Unaffected tissues from gadolinium-exposed subjects exhibit gadolinium concentration of 0.6 to 28 mcg/g.
A reportable gadolinium concentration in tissue suggests recent administration of gadolinium-containing contrast media. Patients with increased gadolinium in affected dermal tissue have an increased risk to develop NSF.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is useful for evaluation of dermal tissue. No other tissue types have been validated. The reference range applies only to dermal tissue.
Tissue gadolinium concentration will be elevated if the specimen is collected <48 hours of administration of gadolinium-containing contrast media. This elevation is due to residual gadolinium present from contrast media infusion. Elevated gadolinium in a specimen collected <48 hours after contrast media infusion does not indicate risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<0.5 mcg/g
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

NEW DELHI , 2007/03/01 05:56:12Shahriar Nafees is not a big name in the world of cricket, but Ricky Ponting's all-conquering Australians will not easily forget the Bangladeshi left-handed opener. Nafees treated the Australian attack in the opening home Test last year as if he was playing against a mediocre side, scoring a blistering 138 with 19 fours in a superb display of aggressive batting.
HAMILTON , 2007/03/01 05:52:52With many believing that minnows like Bermuda have no place at the World Cup, there is bound to be a crescendo of sniggers when Dwayne Leverock takes to the field during the competition. The 35-year-old Leverock, known affectionately as Sluggo, is big, huge, massive, even.
WELLINGTON , 2007/03/01 05:50:48When Shane Bond starts his run up he instils an air of confidence in the New Zealand cricket team -- the bullet-proof feeling that can only be ignited by a world class player. For Bond gives New Zealand something all too seldom found in a country with a small talent pool -- he is a genuinely fast and accurate bowler.
WELLINGTON , 2007/03/01 05:46:40What a difference three matches can make, and no one knows that more than New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming who went from villain to hero in the space of one series against Australia. A 3-0 whitewash of the world champions a month before heading to the Caribbean and suddenly New Zealand were no longer World Cup underdogs, and the cricket world's most experienced captain has his confidence back.
SYDNEY , 2007/03/01 05:43:03Injured all-rounder Andrew Symonds has boosted Australia's World Cup cricket hopes by saying he could be available before the pool match against South Africa, reports said Thursday. March 24, when Australia will play the new world number one team, was initially considered an optimistic return date for Symonds after he ruptured his biceps tendon in a one-day match against England last month.
COLOMBO , 2007/03/01 01:36:19Sri Lanka's World Cup winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga said on Thursday he thought India would win the sport's biggest prize even though the 2007 tournament was wide open. Ranatunga, who masterminded his country's successful campaign in 1996, said Rahul Dravid's India had the depth to win the World Cup starting in the Caribbean on March 13.
KARACHI , 2007/03/01 01:33:31Former Pakistan greats on Thursday expressed doubts about the official reason for the withdrawal of Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif from the World Cup. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has insisted that the pace pair were ruled out due to injury and denied reports that the decision was to prevent the pair having to take doping tests.
NEW DELHI , 2007/02/28 05:59:06Whether behind the stumps or in front of them, it is just difficult to ignore Kumar Sangakkara whose value to the Sri Lankan team has been growing with each year. His form will be important to his team's World Cup campaign because he is expected to maintain the tempo in the middle order after aggressive openers Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga.
KINGSTON , 2007/02/28 05:45:13Chris Gayle is widely recognised as one of most laid-back players in international cricket. His easy-going personality can be compared to the slower pace of life in the Caribbean, and makes him one of the most likeable players in the game.
KINGSTON , 2007/02/28 05:42:10Jerome Taylor is not built along the lines of the traditional West Indies fast bowler. He's not tall like Joel Garner.
SYDNEY , 2007/02/28 05:28:20Australia captain Ricky Ponting warned Wednesday that despite some recent poor form the world champions will be "extremely hard to beat" at the upcoming cricket World Cup. Speaking to reporters at Sydney airport as the team flew out to the Caribbean in search of a third straight World Cup victory, Ponting said he believed his team deserved to remain favourites.
NEW DELHI , 2007/02/28 02:18:46When a rain-ruined Test between Australia and England in 1971 resulted in the first one-day international at Melbourne, few believed that this new form of cricket would become a global, money-spinning affair. The first one-dayer was not a pre-planned affair as it was arranged on the last scheduled day of the rain-hit Test to appease the public.
KINGSTON, Jamaica , 2007/02/27 21:38:11Scotland manager Euan McIntyre believes his side and the other minnows taking part in the Cricket World Cup have earned their places. The Scots arrived on Monday in the Barbados capital of Bridgetown, where they will play two official warm-up matches against Sri Lanka next Monday and Bangladesh next Thursday at the Three Ws Oval.
MUMBAI , 2007/02/27 12:38:01India's coach Greg Chappell said Tuesday his team had the flexibility to give a good account of themselves in cricket's World Cup in the Caribbean. "The pressure will be on and it is here where our flexibility and experience will come into play," Chappell told reporters on the eve of his team's departure for the one-day showpiece event starting next month.
SYDNEY , 2007/02/27 12:30:21Cricket Australia on Tuesday announced the make-up of the greatest one-day international dream team the world champions could muster since the introduction of the short form of the game. Steve Waugh was named captain of the 12-man team, which includes four members of the squad which will fly to the Caribbean on Wednesday in an attempt to win the World Cup for a third straight time.

Upon arrival at Aldo HQ, we were warned about the "Kool-Aid." And we immediately came to suspect that it was to blame for everyone's positive attitude, obviously happy demeanor, and team spirit — and by everyone, we mean the 1,300-member team that currently works out of the head office and distribution center in Montreal."It's like a thing," creative director and VP of marketing, Douglas Bensadoun told us. "I don't believe for a second that we're just selling shoes, just like I don't believe for a second that people work here just for the paycheck." But sell shoes they do. To industry insiders, Bensadoun is a name that's readily associated with successful women's footwear — just take a look at his father, Mr. B. First name: Aldo. Turning the big 4-0 this year, as well as celebrating the opening of a new flagship store in Montreal — a city that fosters creative talent and supplies endless inspiration with it's rich culture and European charm — Aldo opened the doors of its offices (and sample closets!) to us, for a peek at the amazing workspace behind the mall brand we've loved since middle school. We must admit, even after a few hours lost inside the footwear wonderland, it was tough to pinpoint the exact secret to the brand's success. Could it be the home-away-from-home headquarters, the massive art collection that fills it, and the seasonal garden that surrounds it? Or perhaps it's the team. Either way, if it really is a special elixir that helps Aldo stay so historically on-point and innovative, then we'll happily drink up.

I have spent extensive time over the last fifteen or so years between early January and late April preparing for the draft. It's like a hobby of mine. One of the things I've learned is that the smart teams understand that past performance has a direct correlation to future performance.
Take LaRon Landry. When he came out I wasn't a big fan because, for all his skills, he never made plays. I remember saying that he will get overdrafted and will move on not long after his first contract because he won't make plays. How did I know that? He didn't make plays in college. Never intercepted the ball.
Take Elvis Dumervil as another example. I remember thinking this guy could be a bona fide pass rusher at the next level. Why did I say that? Well, it's pretty simple. He sacked the quarterback in college.
My point is, sacking the quarterback and turning the ball over is not a trait that can be acquired in the pro's. It is something that can't be taught. Either you can sink your hips and run the arc or you can't. Either you can turn and find the ball and make a play at it's highest point or you can't. Simple as that.
The smart teams draft guys that made plays in college...regardless of measurables. Look at it this way, Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain were nicked by teams because they were not elite physically. However, they averaged about six picks a year their last two years in college. In light of that, was it that surprising they did that when they came to the NFL?
I have some guys in mind every year that I think fit this dynamic...either they are great athletes with no playmaking awareness...or...they are great playmakers who will not wow you physically. It never fails that the second group ends up having more playmakers in it, which is why round two is so good for the historically smart teams. That said, who do folks think are those guys this year?

According to the Info-Zip FAQ, it sounds like ZipCrypto is pretty weak. Keep that in mind when making your decision.

Optional-TTL means you're using an accessory flash instead of the built in flash, but still using the through the lens metering to control it.
Maybe because of how your model is setup?
This flash unit supports flash exposure compensation which allows you to adjust output independently of the i-TTL.

I've never seen a receiver play as poorly as Legedu. Somebody name a receiver in the NFL that is worse...
Cut him (give him a boot out facility)
Keep him (give him a chance)
Trade him to Jets for Tim Tebow's Jock Strap
I've never seen a receiver play as poorly as Legedu. Somebody name a receiver in the NFL that is worse...
You can seriously pick a random person out of the stands and I would have more faith in them than Naanee
Everyone and their grandmother can see that Naanee guy sucks except the Dolphins coaching staff. Every week they send him onto the field and every week he finds a way to screw something up whether it be just dropping passes, tipping a ball so it gets intercepted, or "catching" a ball just long enough for him to fumble it away to the other team. Does this guy have some compromising pictures of Ireland or Philbin? This is even more baffling than the Gibril Wilson debacle a few years ago.
who were those protesting goobers a couple games back? by all means, protest naanee being on the team. get to it.
"Now when I go to the bathroom I find out who my friends are." - Jake Scott after both broken hands were in casts following the 1972 season
I have never seen a player who most obviously needs to be cut before practice begins the next week. Up until now I was actually rather indifferent on Naanee because he really didn't matter, but when you fumble almost untouched on a thirty yard reception in a close game, on what I believe was your first catch of the year, you clearly do not belong on the field any longer.
That could have been a touchdown on that throw as well. He had one guy to beat and he had a blocker right there.
Dude should have been cut after the preseason and now it's costing us games.
I think it was a two part surprise: 1. that tanny finally threw the ball to him and 2 that it landed in his hands. As confusion set in, he just let the ball go as he had never been in that position before, lol.
Since 72, through thick and thin, I always pull, for my Miami Dolphins.

Gallery: Paypal Founder Peter Thiel Invests $1.25 Million to Create Flo...
A well known Libertarian, Thiel suggests these islands may be instrumental in "experimenting with new ideas for government." One theory implements libertarian ideals such as no welfare, no minimum wage, looser building codes, and fewer weapons restrictions. Another more capitalistic approach called Appletopia, has a corporation starting the country as a business where the more popular it becomes the more valuable the real estate.
These micro-countries built on oil rig-like platforms will be moveable, diesel-powered 12,000 ton structures. Each structure may house up to 270 residents, and they are planned to link together into a massive web. Thiel plans to launch a flotilla office park off the coast of San Francisco next year and predicts full settlement of the first island in 2019. He and the Seasteading Institute aim to have 10 million floating residents by 2050.
Thiel's ventures have always pushed boundaries. From wanting to use a currency unaffiliated with any nation for Paypal to funding DNA sequencing and commercial space travel, the uncharted and therefore, unregulated realms are his greatest interests. For those who remain pessimistic about this latest project Thiel says, "We don't need to really worry about those people very much, because since they don't think it's possible they won't take us very seriously. And they will not actually try to stop us until it's too late."

Libertarianism is great, but what you are doing is foregoing any governmental security umbrella, and are thus a prime target of pirates (for instance). Libertarians make bad lifeguards.
Andrew Kuess November 12, 2014 at 10:45 am
Peter Thiel didnt invent this concept. He's just a rich thief.
The ORIGINAL concept is meant to eliminate disparity in society, and to be a progression from today's corporate run system – toward a COOP owned democratically operated corporation of tomorrow. We don't need CEOs like Peter Thief anymore. They only seek to help themselves.
If he builds one for himself, I hope it sinks.
Jens Wirichs September 2, 2014 at 2:15 pm
all these constructions are very nice and good looking but i would never invest into a building for the ocean that does look like this ….
a monolitic dome type struckture for the ocean is the only practical building and the onlyone that can outlive the storm heavy rain heavy waves and water …..
Allan Leigh September 1, 2014 at 5:20 am
A very interesting concept.
Although several would be required for a community to be self sufficient in food products.
Also most likely practically all other commodities would need to be imported; therefore the population, and all travel requirements for any work, would be difficult in the extreme.
Consequently they are most likely restricted for use by at least semi wealthy retirees like myself….Cheers Allan & Tichila (Miki) Leigh
LB September 1, 2014 at 4:24 am
Libertarian? You mean as in liberty for all, not just white men?
annawynn September 20, 2011 at 11:33 am
If they are so determined to be independent and self sufficient, why should they need the U.S. to supply them with food? How would they earn a living and what would they produce? What would be their currency and what would give it value?
dreggen September 11, 2011 at 4:25 am
1.25 million dollars sounds like peanuts for such a project. Are you sure it's not billion rather than million?
superd August 27, 2011 at 9:20 am
this is idiotic.
Vaiurel August 24, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Interesting project. If these flotilla will moving (diesel propulsion), they will need some radar control, just to not meet each other like Titanic with aisberg!
beonefree August 24, 2011 at 12:58 am
Interesting concept, although not appealing to me, I am sure it would be a better alternative to some convict than lifetime in prison. As to the souls who need a mountain to escape, this looks like death. From a libertarian perspective, this even seems to be an oxymoron at least from Ayn Rand's view. Corporate government does not guarantee freedom as we see it today in our corporate financed Congress. However anyone is free to create their own private hell, and often does at a fortune per square foot.
timothymburke August 23, 2011 at 3:36 pm
That's all fine and dandy, I would love to take the wife and kids there to live, too bad though, we'll never be able to afford it!
Such habitats are created by millionaires for millionaires to escape from society, which begs the question, "If a neighborhood of powerful millionaires relocate to their own island, what are they escaping from?" since they could already do as they pleased in the first place.
Such islands serve no purpose at all if the common normal people of the world cannot go live there and be free from the oppression of upper class tyranny, for scientific observation and learning.
This project is just as pointless as handing $100K to a genius or ivory league student to become successful. If the test is to see that handing poor people $100K to start a business saves schooling then do that, but giving $100K to already successful students proves nothing other than successful good students have potential to be successful, you're own experiment disproves itself!
An island for rich people to escape into their riches, yet another fruitless waste of a project from which nothing will ever be learned.
Blueseed August 23, 2011 at 4:53 am
Please note that The Seasteading Institute is a not-profit and does NOT plan to launch any flotilla office park next year. The Institute's official statement on this matter is at http://www.seasteading.org/about-seasteading/frequently-asked-questions#build_one_already
Building actual seasteads is left to for-profit ventures. At the moment, there is only one such venture, Blueseed (http://blueseed.co).
Zeppflyer August 22, 2011 at 1:25 pm
@jdonkey. That'd be just fine if we were talking about poly sci majors with too much time on their hands and 'self reliant' folks who either cruise from couch to couch or live in a trailer in the woods, but the sort who could afford to move to these islands are the people who invent, invest, and create here in America; people worth putting up with. Also lost would be a boatload of tax revenue.
jdonkey123 August 22, 2011 at 11:56 am
"…And they will not actually try to stop us until it's too late."
Try to stop them!? Why in the hell would anyone try to stop them? "Go live on an island somewhere…" is all I've ever wanted for all the nutjob libertarians who think the only mechanism we need for the pursuit of common goals is voluntary participation.
oxfdblue August 22, 2011 at 10:08 am
He really needs to dump the Ayn Rand books.
It is amazing that someone who can create something so good as PayPal can also be such a selfish bastard when it comes to having to deal with little things like taxes.
sephyra August 20, 2011 at 4:23 pm
Brilliant! Perhaps he can call it the Sewee Nation!
zeppflyer August 19, 2011 at 11:36 am
@Zoomer, true…ish. Are you locked into your phone contract? Howabout a lease? And these have the added benefit to the owners of the island that you can't just skip town. If you run out of money or afoul of the authorities, you're on a tiny and (likely) heavily monitored island in the middle of the ocean. Good luck.
bvanwely August 19, 2011 at 8:37 am
Obviously the brainchild of someone who has never owned a coop apartment. Coop boards are far more dictatorial than any Stalinist government– albeit without the death penalty.
zoomer August 18, 2011 at 10:04 pm
There is such a thing as a benevolent dictatorship. Problem is, they don't usually last long!
However, with a sea of competing 'corporate countries' if one of these quasi-governments goes bad, you can simply leave without any restraints and choose another corporate country more to your liking. That is the essence of a free market – and this is the kind of level-playing field that today's governments should be based on.
Kudos to Thiel for taking a step forward for humanity. Someone has to step up and break this age-old archaic paradigm of government we have today.
Ralph Gardner August 18, 2011 at 4:31 pm
I strikes me that using Diesel generators is a bad idea. It is rather difficult to be independent when you depend on an outside source of fuel. Wouldn't it be better to use solar, wind, tidal/currents or ocean thermal energy conversion?
metro August 18, 2011 at 3:21 pm
The big problem I see with this idealic dream is Pirates. If you are going to declare yourself sovereign, how are you going to keep someone else from taking what you have? Heavens, look at the Somalia pirate problem.
Arquimal August 18, 2011 at 11:15 am
Ummm Does the name Bioshock ring a bell, or should we ask Mr Ryan… I mean Peter Thiel, where he got the idea to build Rapture… sorry "floating city states" as a means to escape the parasite, that are trying to rid the working man of what is rightfully his.
Might I suggest some fictional literature, Bioshock: Rapture, by John Shirley or a video game called Bioshock, they might prove to be very very enlightening.
terencerobert August 18, 2011 at 7:37 am
For such well thought out plans, I question the docking of a container ship, and I wonder why a sailboat with wind in the sails is 20 feet from the dock, and whether the tugboat captain must have an apartment there. But the other rich folk would not want to view tugboats and container ships smelling up the area or even being in view. This is mostly architects dreams since real life islands would need to be much simpler and semi-affordable for .0001 of the population. It was interesting, at least.
best ideas August 18, 2011 at 6:01 am
oh, he will surely make a lot of money with this.
plenty of illegal business you can do there.
sth2ao August 17, 2011 at 9:33 pm
@ zeppflyer Although not included in this article, the one over at either Yahoo or Details does indicate that Thiel states that it'd be very likely that the Seasteads would, in fact, be operated by business dictatorships… with the exception being that you can freely leave.
You might be able to get around that if you've got enough of the things together, but otherwise these things cram a small village together into what I'm guessing would be roughly the size of a large oil platform… without the ability to freely leave unless a boat is docked.
But, it would give the members the ability to see what kinds of rules/laws are necessary for stability over varying periods of time, and which ones can be dumped… at least with the member population (who knows how that data would actually be carried over to typical populations of various cultures).
Me, I'd happily live on one of these… for a time, at least.

This has come up before and it in no way green. Sticking people out on artificial islands only makes it that much more resource intensive to get goods out to them. There's a reason that everything is so expensive in Honolulu or Fairbanks.
Furthermore, this highlights two bothersome trends in libertarianism:
1. A focus on the names of authority rather than their substance. A democratically run city is evil, but a governmentless company town where the mine or mill owns the stores, land, and courts is just fine.
2. A belief that hostile environment habitats can be organized along libertarian lines. The space habitat is a common trope in anarchist fiction, but nowhere would require more forced organization. Even Heinlein takes this copout and puts in an authoritarian government to get the ball rolling in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
While yes, you could have hostile environment settlements founded and run by private enterprise, they would require residents to adhere to a very strict set of rules and living conditions. The Jeffersonian ideal can only happen when resources are abundant.
martxthexkid August 17, 2011 at 9:33 am
"experimenting with new ideas for government" with no welfare, no minimum wage, looser building codes, and fewer weapons restrictions is far from being new! It does exist already and it's called Somalia!
