Comments On Jan 07, 2015:Works well on my 175 IT, with great traction, but it is wearing even with light duty on extreme slow trials/trail sections and conditions.

Comments On Dec 20, 2014:I found the duo to have excellent and very predictable cornering grip. However it wore very very fast and that was partly my fault for using a soft terrain tire in the Arizona hard pack and rocks.

Comments On Apr 17, 2014:Decent sand tire for the price.

Comments On Jan 03, 2014:Great rear tire...lasts along time and is easy to mount..good hook up .for desert and sand conditions with some rock this tire does real well. lasts longer than intermediate duro. I would have rated 5 star, but the front is another story... It tended to wash and not corner well loose conditions if you have a hi horsepower 450/250 and dont like changing 19" tires alot...get this rear tire...

Comments On Dec 29, 2013:2 hours of trailridin in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mtns.of NC and its past needing flipped.Tried to save a little but learned.Also its to skinny for the 450/250 2 strokes.Handful.

Comments On Oct 31, 2013:If you race in 100% soft conditions, this may be your tire. It does compare to soft terrain tires of other brands. I found the tire does not like soft to hard transitions and the square edges will disappear immediately. I personally like the duro intermediate, which in my opinion is 10 times the tire of this duro soft terrain. I would spend the money on a quality front tire also as I found the duro soft terrain front did not transition well from soft to intermediate. Again, good tires if you only ride in the soft stuff. Vet A mx rider.

Comments On Jul 29, 2011:3 hour practice tire was already loosing its edge after 2 motos tire finished but worked well until then.

Comments On Oct 25, 2010:I had a Bridgestone sponsorship that ran out last year. Not feeling like paying big dollars for practice tires I bought the Duro. Now I not only practice with them, I race them too. This tire is super durable and hooks up in every terrain making it an excellent choice for anyone. Under hard acceleration the tire holds perfectly. Braking the tire is very predictable and controlled, you can slide it or keep it straight. I highly recommend this tire to everyone except my competition, I don't want to give up my advantage!

Comments On Oct 29, 2009:I ride a soft loamy track by my house. This tire hooks up awesome. both the front and rear seem to be great so far.
Additional Comments On Sep 29, 2010:very impressed with this tire. It holds up well and works even better. After about 10 races this summer it is barely time to change it. I just ordered another.

Please, all the wiki editors out there:
When creating a new comic summary page, please transcribe Everything. If you're the first transcriber, you do have the advantage of automatic formatting by the official transcription pages.
It really wasn't easy to add all the missing stuff.
I didn't add the picture yet, since the automated cropper/uploader is disabled and I'll have to do it using standard software.
The cropper is disabled? Whachoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?
--Justas 06:24, 23 December 2005 (MST)
Oh, by the way, the next time someone does a crappy first draft, you can still use the automatic page creator and generate the wikicode without directly posting it. And then just copy-paste the missing bits from there.
--Justas 11:54, 23 December 2005 (MST)
Oh, in that case I just didn't find it. Sorry. Could you tell me how to activate these functions?
Edit(22:46): Alright, found all the necessary pages. Stupid me...
--Thaliur 22:42, 23 December 2005 (CET)
You should make an automatic page editor with an RSS, Justas.

This was love at first sniff!! Sophisticated, yet light and very seductive. Great to wear as a signature everyday scent and goes easily out as the name Cabernet implys, for fun, a night on the town. You cannot wear this fragrance and recieve no compliments..."Wow, what are you wearing?!" My favorite everyday scent.
Written by Aleera on February 08, 2012Read Review details ►
I keep coming back to this fragrance...have worn it on and off for several years now. Everytime I wear it, it puts me in a good mood,...I would describe it as warm and inviting...and it has really good staying power too! It is worth 5 times more than you can buy it...5 stars!
Written by minet77 on December 10, 2011Read Review details ►
A lovely feminine fragrance - soft but lingering, subtle though persistent - not sweet or powdery; has depth. Doesn't remind me of anything else. Doesn't bother my allergies or head!! Beautiful and easy to wear.

Overview Reviews Details by Ralph Graves Panasonic's KX-TG6592T expandable phone system gives you clear calling and convenient features. The tone equalizer lets you adjust the phone for the way you hear independently raise or lower the low-, high-, and mid-range tones for greater clarity. Do you like to talk with the phone perched on you shoulder while you do other things? Who doesn't! Both handsets have non-slip rubberized grips, so they're easier to keep on your shoulder, and out of the dishwater. A large screen and backlit buttons make receiving calls and dialing easy. Or you can let the phone do the talking when a call comes in, Talking Caller ID announces who's on the line. You can even put unwanted callers on the phone's Call Block list, and when they phone you, they'll simply get a busy signal. Go ahead and turn off the ringer when you go to sleep you won't hear a sound, but you won't miss any calls. In Silent Mode, the handset's light-up indicator will still alert you when a call comes in or when you have a message on the built-in digital answering machine. If you want to expand this system to accommodate a large household or small business, you can add up to four more handsets for a total of six still using just one phone jack. DECT 6.0 Plus cordless technology The KX-TG6592T uses DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) 6.0 Plus technology for clear conversations with reduced noise and improved cordless range. DECT Plus increases error protection up to 80 times compared to previous DECT technology, giving you the cleanest possible sound, at the maximum possible range. And it operates on the 1.9 GHz frequency bandwidth, so it won't interfere with Wi-Fi® computer networks or other common wireless devices.

Yes No as advertised Written By Local Customer, Cville on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Just as advertised. Easy to install, good voice quality. I'm waiting to see how long the battery lasts.

Yes No Panasonic Continues KX Quality Upgrades Written By hafadai9, Saipan on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is the third Panasonic KX-TG multiphone system we have had in the last 10 years or so. They last long, are foolproof in setup with clear directions. This newest 6592T system has a base and three other statellite phones throughout a two story large house. The coverage from the base station is as though it was feet away. You can easily walkout outside in the yard and still have perfect quality reception. Pros: see review Cons: none that I can think of - for any of the systems from today going back a decade, except replacement batteries become difficult to find after some years have passed - my wife and daughters tend to use the phones and not replace them to recharge for extended periods 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Panasonic KX-TG6592T Written By Carol S, Traverse City MI on Thursday, January 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this phone for my mother for Christmas. Her vision is failing she needed a phone with a larger display along with a color match that would be clear. She loves this phone and is so grateful. Pros: The color contrast of the display screen of white and black creates a crisp look for someone who is visually challenged Cons: She has one disappointment just under the display screen are three black rubber type function buttons that are black on black. For someone who is vision challenged it would be helpful to someone in the future if they were white. 14 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The system comes in an elegant black metallic finish. DECT 6.0 Plus: DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) Plus technology improves on the original DECT 6.0. The error correction frequency is increased up to 80x, which increases the range and improves the transmission quality. Operating in the 1.9 GHz frequency range, the KX-TG6592 phone will not conflict with other wireless devices such as computer routers, wireless keyboards, microwave ovens and other common household devices. Expandable Cordless System: In addition to the two included cordless handsets, you can add up to four more KX-TGA659 handsets, for a total of six. Other compatible handsets include KX-TGA410 and KX-TGA660. Intelligent Eco Mode: The phone's Intelligent Eco mode automatically reduces handset power consumption when you're using the handset close to the base unit. This feature extends the available talk time by suppressing the power it takes to transmit to the base unit. The "ECO" icon appears in the handset display when activated. Tone Equalizer: The Handset Tone Equalizer feature clarifies the voice of the person you are talking to to produce a more natural-sounding voice. You can select "High Tone" or "Low Tone" while you are in a conversation, to see which position produces the best sound. Handset Speakerphone: The cordless handset can double as a speakerphone for hands-free conversations. The handset is squared on the bottom, allowing you to stand it up on a table top while you talk hands-free. Non-Slip Handset: The KX-TGA659 handset has a rubberized surface on the back panel to help prevent slipping, especially when you cradle it on your shoulder. Headset Compatible: The handset has a 2.5mm sub-mini headset jack to allow you to plug in a headset for hands-free operation. Compatible headsets include: KX-TCA400, KX-TCA60, KX-TCA93, KX-TCA94, and KX-TCA430. 1.9" Backlit LCD: The cordless handsets feature a large, easy-to-see, backlit 1.9" LCD screen with a resolution of 103 x 65 pixels. The LCD displays Caller ID information, battery strength, Caller List, Directory, plus the Function Menu table. You can adjust the contrast of the LCD from 1-6. The language of the LCD text can be set to English or Spanish. Large Backlit Keypad: The handset have a large, white backlit keypad for easy dialing. Navigator Key: The 4-way Navigator key on the handset is used to navigate through menus and to select items shown on the display by pushing it up, down, left, or right. Soft Keys: The handset has three soft keys just below the LCD, which allow you to select the feature shown directly above it on the display. Some of the soft key functions include Mute, Phonebook, Menu, and Redial. Speed Dial Keys: The handset and base unit feature three speed dial keys, labeled A, B, and C. You can assign one phone number to each of the keys using one of the handsets. The stored numbers can be used for all registered handsets and the base unit. Above the speed dial keys on the base unit is an index card to record the names and/or phone numbers stored to the speed dial buttons. Caller ID: This unit is compatible with Caller ID services offered by your telephone company. If you subscribe to Caller ID, the caller's name and phone number will be displayed and recorded in the handset's Caller List. Call Waiting Caller ID: If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, when talking on the phone as another call comes in, the second caller's name and phone number will be displayed. Talking Caller ID: This feature lets you know who is calling without looking at the display. When the caller information is received from your Caller ID service, the handsets and base unit announce the caller's name or phone number received after each ring. Ringer/Message Indicators: The handset has a ringer indicator LED on the top that will flash quickly whenever a call comes in. The LED flashes slowly when there's a message on the answering machine or you have a voice mail message. On the base unit, the message indicator inside the "Play" button will flash when there is a message waiting. Caller List: The unit records information for the last 50 callers and stores this information in the Caller List. The unit can show the number of calls you missed. You can call back any number in the caller list. Once a number is in the Caller List, it can be manually or automatically edited (to add or remove area codes or prefixes), saved in the Directory, or deleted. Call Block: The phone can be programmed to reject unwanted calls. If you subscribe to Caller ID, the unit will reject a call that comes in without a phone number, including those that are labeled "Out of area", "Private caller", or "Long distance". Calls from a phone number stored in the call block list are also rejected. Up to 30 phone numbers can be stored in the call block list. When the call is received, the unit rings for a short time while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, then disconnects the call. Shared Phonebook: All handsets registered to the base unit can use the unit's phonebook. Up to 50 names and phone numbers can be stored in the phonebook. You can enter names up to 16 characters, and phone numbers up to 24 digits. A pause can be entered in the phone number if required for dialing. Each pause is stored as one digit and the pause is approximately 3.5 seconds. The directory names are sorted alphabetically. You can also assign names to one of nine groups to help you locate entries quickly and easily. Groups can also be assigned a different ringer tone to help you identify who is calling. Phonebook Name Announcement: When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name will be announced on each handset and the base unit. Chain Dial: You can dial a number from the phone while on a call using Chain Dial. This can be used to dial a calling card access number, dial a PIN number, etc. without having to dial it manually. Redial List: You can review a list of the last five numbers dialed, then call any of those numbers. Mute: This system features a Mute key on the cordless handsets. If you wish to temporarily mute the conversation, you can mute the handset so the other party cannot hear you, but you can still hear them. Handset Locator: This feature allows you to locate a handset by paging it from the base unit. All registered handsets are paged simultaneously. Silent Mode: You can program each handset to ring or not at your discretion. If you set a handset to Silent Mode, it will not ring when calls come in. A specific time period can be programmed ahead of time for the silent mode. Other handsets programmed to the phone are not affected, and will continue to ring when calls are received. Intercom: This feature lets you set-up a 2-way conversation between the base and handset or between two registered handsets. Call Transfer: Calls can be transferred from the base to the handset or from one handset to any other registered handset. Privacy Mode: You can prevent users of other handsets from joining your conversations by engaging the Privacy Mode in the Initial Setting menu. To allow other users to join your conversation (call share), you can turn the Privacy Mode off. Call Share: Call Share allows a second cordless handset to join an existing external call by pressing one button. Up to 4 parties can participate in a conversation using 3 extensions and the outside party. Any Key Talk/Auto Talk: The Any Key Talk feature allows you to press any of the numeric keys, the * key, the # key, or the intercom button to answer a call. When the handset is on the charger base, the Auto Talk feature allows you to answer a call by simply picking up the handset. Auto Talk can be turned on/off in the menu. Volume Controls: Both the base unit and handsets have dedicated volume buttons to make it easy to adjust volume levels. You can choose from four levels when holding the handset to your ear, and six levels for the speakerphone. Ringer Options: You can select one of six ringer volume settings or Off. You can also choose between five ring tones and five ring melodies. Temporary Tone Dialing: If you are using a pulse dialing system, you can temporarily switch to tone dialing to enter numbers for answering services, electronic banking services, company phone directories, etc. When you hang up, the mode switches back to pulse dialing. Flash Key: If you have the Call Waiting service, you can use the flash key to put the first call on hold, allowing you to answer a second incoming call. You can adjust the length of the flash time if necessary. Alarm: On the handset, you can set an alarm to sound for three minutes on a one-time or daily basis. With the date and time programmed into the phone, you can enter a desired time for the alarm to sound. Using a different ringer tone from the one used for outside calls is recommended. Belt Clip: The included belt clip can be attached to the back of the cordless handset so that you can hook it onto your belt. Security: A handset cannot operate unless it is registered with the base unit. Battery Information: The phone comes with four "AAA" rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, two for each handset. A Ni-MH battery doesn't develop the "memory" effect like many Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) rechargeable batteries. Initial Charge Time: 7 hours Battery Talk Time: up to 13 hours continuous Battery Standby Time: up to 11 days Wall Mounting: The base unit and battery charger for the additional handsets can be placed on a desk or table, or can be wall mounted. The base unit comes with a wall-mounting bracket that can attach it to a standard telephone wall mount jack. There are also two keyhole slots for wall mounting. The handset battery charger also has two similar keyhole slots. Answering System Features Total Recording Time: The total time for recording is approximately 18 minutes for all messages (including greeting). A maximum of 64 messages can be recorded. All messages are saved until you delete them. When the memory is full, an indicator on the base unit flashes rapidly, "Messages Full" is shown on the handset display, and, if you use the pre-recorded greeting message, the unit automatically switches to another pre-recorded greeting that asks callers to call again later. Caller's Recording Time: You can select 1 minute or 3 minutes for recording incoming messages. Individual messages can be played back and erased from the base unit or the handsets. Greetings: You can record a personal greeting of up to 2 minutes. The unit also comes with 2 pre-recorded messages; one used when the unit has no available recording time, and one used when a message will be recorded. Number of Rings: You can set the number of rings before the answering system answers the call. Your choices are 2 to 7 rings, or Toll Saver. When set to Toll Saver, the unit will answer on the second ring when there is at least one new message, or on the fifth ring when there are no new messages. This allows you to save on toll charges for the call by hanging up when you hear the third ring, knowing there are no messages. Call Screening: You can listen to an incoming message as the caller leaves it using the handset's speaker. Voice Day/Time Stamp: With each message the unit announces the day and time the message was recorded. Message Alert: When a new message has been received, the message indicator on the base unit will flash, and "New Message" is displayed on the handsets' display. Remote Operation: You can operate the Answering System from any touch-tone phone. The system is protected by a three-digit remote code to prevent unauthorized access. You can either use the unit's voice prompts or direct commands by pressing keys. During remote operation, you can perform the following functions: Playback all messages or playback new messages only Repeat or skip a message Play the greeting Record a new greeting Erase currently playing message or all messages Turn the answering system on or off Regarding Voice Mail Services: The KX-TG6592 will integrate with your telephone company's voice mail service to make it easier to retrieve your messages. If you wish to use the Voice Mail service, you should turn off the phone's answering system. If you choose to use the phone's answering system, you should set the unit's ring count so that the unit answers calls before the Voice Mail service does. This may involve changing the number of rings of the Voice Mail service. When you receive a new Voice Mail message, the telephone company sends special tones to alert you that a new message is available. The KX-TG6592 detects these tones, causing the message indicator on the handset to flash slowly, and by displaying "New Voice Mail" in the LCD. You can program your Voice Mail access number (along with your password and any necessary pauses) so you can dial it automatically to retrieve your messages.

Five Star Cuche takes fifth Hahnenkamm
The weather Gods may have tried to stop the race happening but Didier Cuche grabbed the hill by the horns and became THE most successful racer down the feared Streif. This was the HEAD World Cup rebel's fifth win on the course, overtaking the record he held jointly with Franz Klammer. With almost a metre of new snow on the course and a course crew that had worked through the night, the legend of Didier Cuche surpassed all others on race day to win for the third year in a row.
With the race starting lower down the famed course due to the weather, this was a race that was decided on small measures. Some of the classic sections of the course were missing: There was no Mausefalle or Steilhang and course started at Alte Schneise. The shortened course meant little chance of errors, like the one that ended Bode Miller's attack as he caught an edge approaching Hausbergkannte and this cost him valuable time.
Cuche was fastest at the top then seemed to lose time through the slow gliding section before fighting his way back into the reckoning and by the time he took to the Zielschuss, Cuche was heading to victory, again. When he crossed the finish line the green light for the leader came up and he spoke after the race saying that "there is no better way to spend a weekend."
While Cuche celebrated, legendary HEAD racer Franz Klammer was watching in the finish and admitted that Cuche's run was "a great run," adding that "records are meant to be broken."
With Didier Cuche having announced his retirement from Alpine ski racing at the end of the 2012 season, there will be many looking to fill his boots as the most successful racer down the fearsome course in Kitzbuehel.
Johan Clarey took a well deserved fifth place in the race and Stephan Keppler placed eighth, both battling their early start numbers and the poor light to produce great results. According to Aksel Lund Svindal it had been crazy but with the help of 500 volunteers the course had been made possible to race on.
As the crowds moved away from the finish, Cuche was declared "The Emperor of Kitzbuehel!"

Meaning & Origins
Of Germanic origin, from nord 'north' + man 'man', i.e. 'Norseman'. This name was in use in England before the Conquest, and was reinforced by its use among the Norman invaders themselves. The Normans were the inhabitants of Normandy in northern France, whose name is a reference to the Vikings who took control of the region in the 9th century. In the 11th and 12th centuries they achieved remarkable conquests, including not only Britain but also Sicily, southern Italy, and Antioch. In the Scottish Highlands it is used as the Anglicized equivalent of Tormod.

PERRY- Dr. William Rowland "Bill" Jerles, 78, passed away on Wednesday, June 13, 2012, after an extended illness. Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, June 16, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. at Perry United Methodist Church with Reverend Jenny Jackson-Adams and Reverend Roland Fall officiating. Interment will be in Perry Memorial Gardens immediately following the service. Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, June 15, 2012, in the Chapel at Watson-Hunt Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests contributions to Perry United Methodist Church, 1002 Carroll Street, Perry, GA 31069 OR Perry Volunteer Outreach, P. O. Box 1824, Perry, GA 31069 OR The Westfield School, P. O. Box 2300, Perry, GA 31069.
Dr. Jerles was born in Macon to the late Thomas Elmer Jerles and Sally Rowland Jerles and was raised in Adrian, Georgia. He proudly served his country as a pilot in the U. S. Navy. He earned degrees from South Georgia College, where he served as Student Body President, and from Mercer University. Also, he was on Basketball Scholarships at both colleges. He was a member of The Kappa Alpha Order and was later inducted into the Kappa Alpha Court of Honor. In 1963, Dr. Jerles graduated from Emory Dental School and moved to Perry, where he would raise his family and begin his Family Dentistry Practice. Many of his patients say he always had a kind smile and gave a friendly pat on the shoulder at every visit. Dr. Jerles was a member of the Central District Dental Society and was President in 1975 and 1976. He was on the Georgia Board of Dental Examiners and was honored to have administered the state board exam to many of today's practicing dentists. He was a member of the Georgia Academy of Dental Practice, where he served as President 1996-1997. Dr. Jerles was elected by the American College of Dentists as a Fellow of the American College of Dentistry. He was a long-time member of Perry United Methodist Church and previously served on the Administrative Board. A Founding Father of The Westfield School, Dr. Jerles was given The Westfield School Heritage Award in 2011 for his continued dedication and service to the school. Through the years, Dr. Jerles loved to play golf and was a member of Houston Lake Country Club and Idle Hour Country Club. In later life, watching the news was one of his favorite things to do. Most importantly to him, Dr. Jerles loved his family and never missed an opportunity to let them know how much. He was preceded in death by both of his brothers, Thomas E. Jerles, Jr., and Joseph F. Jerles.
Left to cherish his memories are his beloved wife of over 52 years, Peggy Pearson Jerles of Perry; his children, William Rowland "Billy" Jerles, Jr. (Dawn) of Perry, Matthew Lawton Jerles (Tami) of Macon; and Kelly Amelia Jerles-Blackwelder (Tom) of Perry; his grandchildren, William Rowland "Row" Jerles, III, Thomas Hudson Jerles, Amelia Tesch Jerles, and Eugene Paul Jerles; and his many nieces and nephews.
Friends are invited to share a special memory or leave a condolence for the family in the online guestbook at www.watsonhunt.com.

Job Training for Homeless Veterans
Roll over image to zoom in
Many homeless veterans need a little extra help to get their lives back on track. As Veterans Village of San Diego so eloquently puts it: "A hand up, not a hand out."
You can make a difference by supporting programs that help veterans return to leading a normal life. Occupational therapy helps keep injuries such as the loss of a limb from preventing meaningful employment. Vocational training teaches new job skills and helps veterans apply skills they learned in the military to civilian life.
Vocational training can help veterans acquire skills in growing job areas such as in HVAC renovation, wind technology, green automotive technology, smart meter installation, or solar installation. Other programs help veterans get the training necessary to become licensed commercial truck drivers, vocational nurses, or to qualify for other licensed professions.
While in transitional housing provided by these programs, formerly homeless veterans can receive further help with job preparedness, dressing for success, resume writing, interview skills, job search skills, and budgeting for life outside transitional housing. If veterans suffer from physical disabilities, these programs also provide further occupational therapy to help veterans achieve full rehabilitation and community reintegration.
Across the United States, homeless veterans are trapped on the streets by lack of employment. With your help, they can once again be a productive part of the society that they served to protect.
Success Stories from Veterans Village of San Diego
At any one time, Veterans Village of San Diego has 100 to 300 veterans participating in their employment programs.
Steve served in the U.S. Navy as an Engineman. With help from Veterans Village of San Diego, he completed a ten week Certified Nurse Assistant course at Kaplan College, researched potential employers, fine tuned his resume, and sharpened his interview skills. In addition, he sought job leads from all potential resources to successfully transition into this new career field. His plans for the future include becoming a Licensed Vocational Nurse.
Dawn was 42-year-old army veteran who was homeless. Enrolled in Veteran Village of San Diego's Solutions For Change (a program that provides housing, food, and clothing), she also sought help in finding employment. Today, with VVSD assistance, she works as a security guard full time, and her employer reports that she is doing well in her position.
After completing a residential treatment program for substance abuse, Kevin enrolled in Veteran Village of San Diego's employment program. Formerly with the U.S. Navy as an Operation Specialist, Kevin attended Solar Training Institute and later volunteered to install solar panels on low-income housing as well as taking additional safety classes for contractors. Now working at a solar energy company in California installing panels, Kevin is studying for the National Certification in his field.

After months of waiting, the Supreme Court is set to hand down decisions in two cases concerning gay marriage. Here's pretty much everything you need to know about the two cases:
Prop 8:
Hollingsworth v. Perry
Two same-sex couples -- Kristin M. Perry and Sandra B. Stier, and Paul T. Katami and Jeffrey J. Zarrillo -- are challenging California's ballot initiative that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Although the court could rule more narrowly, this case asks the question of whether there is a fundamental right to gay marriage.
Jurisdictional issues: (potential of the case being dismissed without reaching the merits)
The original sponsors of Prop 8 -- a group called Protectmarriage.com -- are defending the law because California public officials refused to do so. Before getting to the merits of the case, the Supreme Court will decide whether the proponents have the legal right to be in Court. If the Court finds there is no legal "standing," the case will be dismissed and the District Court ruling that struck down Prop 8 will most likely stand.
Charles J. Cooper, a lawyer representing ProtectMarriage.com, argues in court papers that the California Supreme Court gave the sponsors the state's authority to defend the law and the Supreme Court should respect that.
Opponents of Prop 8 say that "standing" requires an injury and proponents of Prop 8 cannot show they will be harmed if same-sex couples marry. (Walter Dellinger, Larry Tribe and conservative former conservative federal judge Michael McConnell all think the Court will dismiss on these grounds. )
The Merits:
The question before the court is whether the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the State of California from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
Prop 8 supporters' arguments: The central thrust of Cooper's arguments is that Californians who voted in favor of Prop 8 opted "in good faith" to preserve the traditional definition of marriage because they believe it continues to meaningfully serve important societal interests. Specifically, Cooper argues that marriage is "inextricably linked to the objective biological fact that opposite-sex couples and only such couples, are capable of creating new life together, and, therefore, are capable of furthering, or threatening, society's existential interests in responsible procreation and childbearing." He says that Prop 8 leaves undisturbed expansive domestic partnership laws that provide gays and lesbians with "some of the most comprehensive civil rights protections in the nation." He says the court should defer to the democratic process, and argues: "[T]he definition of marriage has always been understood to be the exclusive province of the States, which, subject only to clear constitutional constraints, have absolute right to prescribe the conditions upon which the marriage relation between their citizens shall be created."
Prop 8 opponents arguments: Theodore Olson and David Boies are asking the Court to find a fundamental right to gay marriage in the Constitution.
"The unmistakable purpose and effect of Proposition 8," they write, "is to stigmatize gay men and lesbians -- and them alone -- and enshrine in California's Constitution that they are unequal to everyone else, that their committed relationships are ineligible for the designation 'marriage' and that they are unworthy of that most important relation in life."
They dismiss the argument that Prop 8 serves the interest of promoting responsible procreation.
"There are many classes of heterosexual persons who cannot procreate unintentionally, including the old, the infertile and the incarcerated," they write.
They acknowledge that the federal system enables states to serve as "laboratories of democracy," but say "our Constitution does not permit States the power to experiment with the fundamental liberties of citizens."
The U.S. government supports the opponents of Prop 8, saying that laws that ban gay marriage should be subject to heightened scrutiny from the Courts. The government argues that Prop 8's denial of marriage to same-sex couples, particularly where California at the same time grants same-sex partners all the substantive rights of marriage, is a violation of equal protection. Six other states currently have similar laws.
In briefs, Verrilli writes that the ballot initiative "forbids committed same-sex couples from solemnizing their union in marriage, and instead relegates them to a legal status -- domestic partnership -- distinct from marriage but identical to it in terms of the substantive rights and obligations under state law."
Some Ways the Court Could Rule:
There are many ways the court could rule in this case. Among the possibilities:
At oral arguments, it didn't seem likely that the Court was ready for a broad ruling that would say that all bans on same-sex marriage violate the Constitution. The Court could strike down Prop 8 on narrower grounds and say, for example, that California could not give gay couples all the benefits of a robust domestic partnership law, but strip them of the word "marriage." Such a ruling could affect at least six other states with similar laws.
The Court could also issue an opinion specific to California's history with the gay marriage. The Court could say that California could not withdraw from gay and lesbian people the right to marry -- a right they once had -- without a rational basis for doing so. Such a ruling would apply only to California.
The Court could, of course, uphold Prop 8, which would allow states to continue to pass bans on gay marriage.
Keep in mind, there is a real chance in this case that the Court will not reach the merits. The Court might decide that the original proponents of Prop 8, who stepped in to defend the law when state officials refused to do so, did not have the legal right to be in Court. Such a ruling would mean the District Court ruling that struck down Prop 8 on broad grounds would most likely hold. Legal experts are divided on the implications of such a ruling, as there is some disagreement about whether the lower court's injunction applies statewide, or just to the couples who brought suit. Many believe that same-sex marriage will most likely resume under such a ruling, but the timing is unclear.

Comments On Mar 10, 2014:I usually buy Dunlop or RAZR 2's, I liked dunlops but kept popping the razrs. These SR's are awsome and out wear the other 2 by quite a bit and hook like crazy but drift when you want them to. ITP and R/M- good combination.

Comments On Dec 06, 2013:Purchased these after buying Holeshot rear tires for my quad. I had a major difference in turning capabilities! Fast shipping even to Guam. Had to put my orders through via email since Guam doesn't show up on the drop down nor does it accept my area code. Customer service took care of me and i recieved them within a week! I couldnt be happier with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC!!!

Comments On Dec 12, 2011:4-ply tires are lightweight. I had front tires on my Ltz 400. They grip well in loose sand & gravel track and very good in slightly harder surface. Can not wait until I get to try my back tires. Front tire had good balance. Would think that they wear less than the original tires..

I am not an engineer, just an experimenter and hacker and prototyper etc, so, thanks to people who know a lot more than I do, I learned that this is not safe to use
Have you ever wondered how you can use a remote control to dim your own lights, to control a window fan, or to regulate the heater?
Here's a simple circuit using Arduino that makes this possible!
It uses ONLY two electrical components.
This is recommended for someone who has some experience with Arduino and electronics.
As with anything that uses AC wall power, this could be dangerous if done hastily.
Done carefully, it could also be really simple and fun.
NOTE: This can only be used to dim a unit that runs off of a transformer-based power supply, ie something that doesn't run off of 120 V, but 12, 24, or 48 Volts.
Step 1: MATERIALS
Solder iron, wire strippers, breadboard or perf board, wires, 9V battery, IRF730 transistor, bridge rectifier, Arduino, infrared detector (like this one), SONY universal remote control (like this one)
omg that pictures are so unclear can you please make another picture and update it or replay here I'm bit confuzed about that diode part ANYWAY you are fricking AWESOME I need this so bad woo :D
hey. can you please post the schematic using the arduino. thanks
So does this convert AC to DC and actually output DC? Or did I miss something and it outputs AC?
I was just about to create something similar for my glass storage cabinet but after pondering about it, I would rather not because I am not expert in this electronics field. I agree that it is indeed very fun to try out new things and produce something new by yourself. However, safety needs to always come first before achieving anything else. Thus, I have decided to leave it to the professionals. Nevertheless, you have a really creative mind!
We all make mistakes and it can be a way to learn. Better not to kill ourself in the process though. :-(
Just so you know for anything else you might build here is why you had problems with the IRF520 and IRF540. You are using the bridge rectifier to turn the 110volt A.C to D.C. When it is 110volt A.C that is what is called the R.M.S voltage which means the average value of the voltage. For 110volt A.C you will have a peak voltage of 1.414 x 110 volts = 154 volts. Rectifying it does not reduce that voltage by more than 1.2 volts ( approx - due to the diodes in the rectifier ) so you are subjecting the transistors to way more than their specification so it is no wonder they failed.
So they could have easily handled the current which for your 150 watt bulb ( less than 1 amp ) they could not handle the voltage.
I agree with other comments about the danger of plugging in the low voltage supply while it is connected to the mains.
What type? Linear or switch mode? And of the switch modes, which class? Flyback, buck, boost? If you know the design of the PSW well enough, yes*.
"At first, I was using the IRF 520, with a 100 V drain source voltage and a 9 amp continuous drain current. It worked fine at first, and then it burnt out (there was connectivity between the gate-source and gate-drain). So I got an IRF540, with a 100 V drain source voltage and a 33 continuous drain current. This similarly worked at first, then burnt out."
A 100V max transistor to control a 120Vrms or 169.2Vpp signal? Come on!
I'm sorry that I have to say this, but whenever I see a poorly designed circuit on Instructables that threatens the safety of anybody thinking of attempting this project and is a bad example of basic electronics guidelines, I feel that I have no choice but to call it out. And frankly, I don't think that you have the faintest clue as to what you are doing.
1) Isolation. You should never have low voltage electronics at the same ground potential as AC mains. The 5v powering the electronics must stay isolated and cannot be electrically attached to the AC. The proper course of action to take is to use an optoisolator to control the switching element (in your case the IRF730) without needing a common ground. Why? Because it creates a grounding hazard. The Arduino and all connected devices (PC) are at mains ground potential.
2) Wire gauge. In the last picture of step four you show the IRF730 attached to the AC cord with small hook-up wire (maybe 22 or 24 AWG). Then, you show a massive space heater being attached to your circuit. Wire has current limitations (maybe an amp or so); you can't run a 1,000W+ space heater (or any large load) through that dinky wiring. And yes, the full mains current comes through those wires. Follow the electron's path through the diodes and you'll see.
3) Switching. The proper way to dim an AC load is to use a TRIAC device. A zero-crossing detector is employed to sync the microcontroller to the AC waveform. The TRIAC clips off certain portions of the waveform to dim the load. In your case, you're sending some random pulse width modulation signal to the transistor, causing it to clip off random bits of the waveform. I bet that the lights often flicker when you adjust the brightness.
4) Heatsinks. Your transistor is switching a major electrical load. You need to affix a large heatsink to the metal tab of the transistor (that's why it's there). The heat sink will dissipate the heat that the heavy current is giving off.
5) Enclosure. Your clear box is what we call a "Rat's Nest". This jumble of wiring is bad for low voltage electronics because you can't find anything, but it is deadly when using AC mains voltages. Because you don't have any strain reliefs and a breadboard, it is too easy for wires to come loose and short out or come in contact with another wire. High voltage projects need to be in a neat case with soldered connections.
6) Fuses and safety precautions. Since you have a device with a current limit (Transistor) in series with a potentially heavy load, you need to insert a fuse to protect the transistor from burning out.
I know that I'm being picky, but when you publish a project for the world to see, it has to be done right. There are simply too many people out there who don't know any better than to learn from or try this.
One thing I just thought of that will make this unit 1000's of times better is the implementation of a proper solid state relay. These are *specifically* designed for this exact purpose: to control mains power with low-voltage electronics. They are rare to find in household electronics due to the per-unit price compared to triacs, but with it, that alone will be enough to make this safe (and of course a nice, clean PCB etching of everything onto a PCB. It is actually not that hard to do, although I never had too much luck, I did not try hard either)
If you implemented the use of an isolation transformer, this will be somewhat safer. Also, for a permanent unit, wired must be soldered or have solid screw terminals. To add additional safety, add either a fuse in-line, a current limiting ballast, or a control loop to regulate (and restrict) current flow (All 3 to really help limit current!). Also, as he said, use a generously rated 200Vds 15A MOSFET or BJT. As long as the electronics are enclosed properly, having them operate at mains potential is fine, as long as there is no electrical connections running from the inside to the outside, like a USB or the like.
Also, the wires running to the MOSFET should be the same gauge as the extention cord, and if not, they should always be kept as short as possible.
Do you recommend that I take this post down? The last thing I would want to do is steer someone in an unsafe direction.
"And frankly, I don't think that you have the faintest clue as to what you are doing."
I'm not sure what you mean by this. I have already explained that I am not from an electrical engineering background. I am a hacker and a programmer and I do a lot with electronics, and I use Arduino. For me, this has worked, and I have built this circuit a number of times. I used to use an optoisolator : http://blog.eletronlivre.com.br/search/label/arduino%20brasileirino%20program-me%20dimmer%20dom%C3%B3tica
like that circuit but thought from http://dmitry.co/index.php?p=./04.Thoughts/06.%20RC%20dimmer this site where I found this circuit that this would be a fine way, and it worked.
"A 100V max transistor to control a 120Vrms or 169.2Vpp signal? Come on! " I was following the circuit on http://dmitry.co/index.php?p=./04.Thoughts/06.%20RC%20dimmer website, from his post and video it seemed to work . So I got the right component and the circuit has worked for me, and as opposed to a triac / optoisolator circuit I've built, as linked to above, this one does not seem to flicker at low light level.
Anyway, I thank you for your concern, and I am happy to take down this post. Please let me know your thoughts
Is it posible to see your schematic and part list? Thanks in advance
The circuit needs a little more refinement, though...
A "zero-crossing circuit needs to be added to synchronize the micro-controller with the AC mains and the PWM overall period should be a few micro-seconds short of 8.33 mSec (in the us - 10 mSec in Europe)
The PWM will "fire" twice each cycle of the AC mains (once for the positive half of the cycle and once for the negative half (hence the need for the zero crossing detector.)
High frequency PWM (as is used in this project) is the norm in industrial AC control. TRIACs are used in household dimmers because they work with an extremely simple (and therefore cheap) control circuit. As long as the switching frequency is at least 300 Hz there shouldn't be any flickering. The MTSpice screenshots seem to show this is the case.
The rest I pretty much agree with.
Also, I am not an engineer and if I am overlooking something, please don't hesitate to respond. I thought that by isolating the 5V (or transformer based) power supply from the 110 V power supply, it WOULD in fact be safe. Thank you for the concern
supply isolates its output from
input, then there shouldn't be in any
connection between AC and DC power. The 9V supply's grounded in the bridge rectifier.
So if using a DC power supply for Arduino or a transformer based supply, then input and output are isolated.
So yes, don't supply power from the PC via USB. ONLY use the USB to PROGRAM the Arduino board, when the AC voltage is NOT connected.
Thanks again
An opto-isolator is the obvious method (and probably the cheapest) because to are simply sending pulses to the MOSFET.
If I could draw you a diagram I would (can somebody else provide one?) but imagine all the high voltage AC components on the left and all the low voltage DC components on the right. There is no physical, electrical or mechanical connection between them except for light (within the Opto-Isolator) - that's safe...!!!
People's lives are at stake whenever you use AC mains power.
I'll respond to tristanTech, sounds like I should probably take down this post as the last thing I would want is to steer someone in an unsafe direction
Your idea is good, your Instructable is good - it's just the method used that is worrying those of us with more experience of these things - experience often gained the hard way!!!
Rework the circuit with an opto-isolator (for your own safety), recreate the schematic showing the new method and replace the original with the new one, rewword the text and you have it - a good and safe Instructable...
Don't give up, don't be disheartened - OK?
Sorry to be a party-pooper, but I would strongly suggest that no one really attempt this.
Also I see no difference with this project:
http://dmitry.co/index.php?p=./04.Thoughts/06.%20RC%20dimmer so i sthis just something that is copied?
I really enjoyed your Instructable, thanks for posting it.
I do not understand why people get so excited about the dangers of mains electricity. 120v AC is unpleasant to touch but really not dangerous in itself. I used to work for a company that did some work in Morocco and one of the electricians working on the installation would test for live (hot) cables by touching them (he didn't have a voltmeter!). Depending on the severity of the shock he would determine whether the voltage was 220v or 440v! I have had more shocks than I can count including some in the 300v DC range.
I think the real danger here is potential for fire due to overloads, semiconductor failure (mosfet or rectifier) or arcing (poor connections). Especially when controlling a high current device such as a heater.
Other risks for working with "high" voltages/currents include destroying the Arduino, secondary risks like jumping back when receiving a shock and then tripping, falling etc. and not forgetting sparks/arcing resulting in fire or injuries (especially to the eyes).
I am guessing that the Instructable is not intended to produce a consumer product by virtue of the fact it uses an Arduino as a controller making it a very expensive solution. Hopefully other readers will appreciate this.
One thing that I suspect should be avoided with this is attaching any kind of inductive load (fans, motors etc.) as these will result in large back-emf voltage spikes in the order of 1000's of volts (see LTSpice inductive load simulation attached).
To summarise, in my opinion:
1. This ible should be regarded as an experiment.
2. It should not be left unattended.
3. It should protected with fuses in event of a short-circuit due to semiconductor failure or overload.
4. The whole thing should be contained within a fire resistant enclosure.
5. It should not be used with inductive loads.
6. Be aware that your Arduino may get killed!
I have also attached the LTSpice screenshot, the application can be downloaded free from Linear Technologies at http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/
Other lights it will work for (halogen, incandescent, etc)

'Pothole-liability law' limits injured motorist's chance for reimbursement
Fall River - A Wisconsin man who was blinded in one eye after a chunk of concrete flew through his windshield last spring isn't finding many avenues for recourse.
That's because of the state's "pothole-liability law," which took effect two weeks earlier. The law makes it harder for drivers to sue local governments for most damages or injuries resulting from highway defects, according to a Capital Times report.
If Kevin Droz, 51, had been injured before the law went into effect he could have filed a claim for up to $50,000. But the accident happened 13 days afterward, leaving him with substantially fewer options. »Read Full Article(16)

First Stage's ambitious 'Promised Land' is a dream deferred
Ruth, an African-American girl in her early teens, is lost. Her father is long gone. Her overworked mother is rarely around. Her beloved brother is dead. It's 1969, and, while Ruth should be in school, she is watching TV instead.
In "To the Promised Land" - unveiled by First Stage Children's Theater on Friday night - playwright Jonathan Gillard Daly links Ruth's struggles with another coming-of-age story that unfolded in Milwaukee, where a young Golda Meir underwent her own journey of self-discovery. Daly places both girls in the same house on Walnut St., nearly 60 years apart.
That's a great idea for a play - one that links every teen's quest for self-determination with the similarly compelling journeys of African-Americans and Jews toward promised lands of their own. But at this stage in its development, Daly's script doesn't always have its eye on the prize. »Read Full Article

Boone County, IN- Late this morning at approximately 11:20 a.m., Indiana State troopers responded to a Boone County Sheriff's Department dispatch of a suspicious vehicle in Whitestown.
The vehicle was located by Zionsville police officers near CR 975 E. and CR 375 S. and a traffic stop was initiated for a seatbelt violation with the assistance ISP troopers and Boone County Sheriff's deputies.
During the course of the investigation it was discovered that the driver of the vehicle, Devin Antuan Johnson, 29, and the passenger Jerry D. Foster, 31, both of Indianapolis, each had suspended driver's license and outstanding warrants.
Johnson is wanted out of Clark County on a probation violation for theft and false informing. Foster has an outstanding Marion County warrant charging driving while suspended and possession of marijuana.
Further investigation found that the 2003 Ford F250 pickup truck being operated by Johnson had been reported stolen out of Hancock County. The "dealer plate" on the truck was also found to be reported stolen from an Indianapolis auto dealership. A handgun was also located inside the vehicle. Johnson was further charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of the stolen plate and illegal possession of a handgun. Johnson and Foster were incarcerated in the Boone County Jail.
Troopers reported the two individuals were dressed up as workers with reflective vests, hard hats, and clipboards. The pickup contained a "Men Working" sign and orange cones.
Trooper Brent Gulinson said the pickup was loaded with articles that investigators believe could be from burglaries in the area.
Anyone with information regarding the possible burglaries should contact Boone County Sheriff's Department Detective Scott Pell at (765) 482-1412.
Investigating Officers: Trooper's Brent Gulinson, Leonard Stepp and Craig Perkins, Indiana State Police.
Assisting Agencies: Zionsville Police Department, Boone County Sheriff's Department.

Voted best cheap eats in London for 2012, Boqueria is a smart, stylish tapas restaurant situated on Acre Lane, which runs between Clapham Common and Brixton tube stations in South London.
It is surprisingly easy to walk past the restaurant front if you don't know where you are going, as the restaurant front is narrow, with a slick white bar running down the right hand wall. As you arrive, you are lead through to the stylish yet cosy dining room at the back of the building.
Boqueria looks very smart and contemporary, and offers a range of traditional and modern tapas. The inspiration behind the restaurant was the famous Boqueria market in Barcelona, otherwise known as El mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria. The menu offers a wide choice of tapas from the more familiar, to the contemporary, with a very large specials board to choose from too.
On a cold weekday night, Boqueria filled up very quickly. It had a lovely vibrant authentic feel – all the staff were Spanish and you could hear them chatting away. We were welcomed very warmly, and all the staff were exceptionally friendly and passionate about the food on the menu.
We started with a glass of cava each, whilst we had a look through the menu. There is plenty of choice, and the staff were very flexible, offering to help pick and choose according to our tastes and requirements. The greatest difficulty we faced was deciding on what to have – we had five dishes to share between two, which was plenty, but for the sake of our waistlines, we had to whittle down our shortlist of around a dozen dishes which had all taken our fancy.
We loved the jamón ibérico de bellota – not just any Serrano ham, as the free range pigs that end up as jamón feast on a diet of acorns. The jamón croquetas were as good as any you'll find in Spain – having lived there several years ago, just one bite took me back to evenings spent drinking sangria accompanied by rather too many croquetas. We really enjoyed the cochinillo asado (suckling pig), which was sweet and tender and served with a lemon sorbet and sweet potato crisps, and the solomillo: pork tenderloins served with a mushroom sauce.
Tapas are generally priced at around £5-8 per dish. We thought five dishes were sufficient shared between two people. The wine list offers plenty of choice, including excellent cava and sherry. We drank the house cava, which at £4.50 a glass was excellent value, and finished with a delicious glass of Pedro Ximénez sherry at £6.20.
If you are looking for excellent quality, authentic tapas in a smart, vibrant setting, we wholeheartedly recommend Boqueria.
