Read past issues of the magazine Le Moyne Hosts Talk on How to Read James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake"SYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … Le Moyne College will host a talk by Robert Baines on "How to Read James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake'" on Tuesday, March 12, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. in the Reilley Room, located in Reilly Hall. After completing Ulysses in 1922, James Joyce spent the next 17 years working on the novel that would be his last, "Finnegans Wake." Rather than enjoying the fame of its illustrious predecessor, Joyce's final work is best known for being "unreadable." Naturally, this presents something of a problem for those brave or foolhardy enough to wish to read it. This lecture will explore the supposed "unreadability" of "Finnegans Wake" by examining the merits of seven different strategies for reading that infamous novel. Dr. Robert Baines has studied at Oxford University and Trinity College Dublin and currently teaches as a visiting professor at Le Moyne College in Syracuse. He has published articles in European Joyce Studies, The Journal of Modern Literature, and the collection Irish Modernism: Origins, Contexts, Publics. He is currently working on a monograph on Joyce and philosophy. The lecture is free and open to the public. It is a part of the annual Irish Culture Week celebration and is sponsored by the Irish literature program at Le Moyne. For more information, call (315) 445-4555. #####posted on: 2/19/2013

[UPDATE: This story was originally published on June 4.]
It's a pretty good sign that a crooner's got golden vocals if Stevie Wonder's showing up at the Bootleg Theater to groove to her tunes. And that's precisely what just happened to soulful songstress Lianne La Havas, who performed in front of Wonder — and a bevy of Lala Land fans — last week before she hopped the pond back to her native Britain, where she's already causing quite the brouhaha. And he's not the only luminary who's taken notice of the stirring sounds La Havas has going on — Christian Louboutin gives the fashion-forward gal first dibs on punchy pairs (just wait 'til you peep 'em!) and Bon Iver snatched her up last year as an opening act.
So, when La Havas offered to model her singular style for our lens, it was, well, music to our ears! Her debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough?, drops August 7, so we suggest getting to know this melodic hottie if you want to stay ahead of the curve. Consider this your introduction.

During a recent State Department town hall meeting, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked the following question:
I just moved to the State Department from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and was surprised that State doesn't use this browser. It was approved for the entire intelligence community, so I don't understand why State can't use it. It's a much safer program.
Apparently it is a cost issue. Although Firefox is free; Under Secretary Pat Kennedy says the cost of deploying, training and supporting a new piece of software would cost too much. Should the US State Department get a bail out for their browser?

X-FAB continues to grow sales and earnings in the first half-year, Company expects double-digit sales growth with disproportionate increase in earningErfurt, Germany, 8월 25, 2005.
X-FAB Semiconductor Foundries AG, one of the world's leading analog mixed-signal semiconductor foundries, successfully completed the first six months of 2005. The company increased its sales in the first two quarters by 15.5% to EUR 77.4 million. This compares to sales of EUR 67.0 million in the same period of last year. At 19.6%, the operating result showed even stronger growth, from EUR 2.9 million to EUR 3.5 million. Due to lower currency gains associated with the euro vs. the dollar compared to last year, net income in the first six months was EUR 4.8 million, down from EUR 5.7 million in the first half of 2004.
X-FAB managed to increase both sales and earnings in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter. Sales amounted to EUR 39.5 million and the operating result for the quarter increased to EUR 2.0 million. Net income for the quarter was EUR 2.4 million.
The book-to-bill ratio for the first half of the year was 0.97. After slightly weaker bookings in April and May, bookings have picked up momentum again since June.
For fiscal year 2005, X-FAB thus expects sales to grow in the low double-digits, which is significantly higher than forecasts for the industry average. Earnings are expected to grow disproportionately. X-FAB aims at doubling its operating result compared to fiscal year 2004.

Comments On Jul 28, 2015:Only have two rides on the rim but so far it held up to the rocky/root trails that I ride. Can't beat the price looks like a quality rim.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 17, 2015:Bought these for my YZ250f, it is a 2011, so it had the stock chrome rims still on it. They look sharp and seem to be holding up okay, I ride XC so they are in contact with rocks and logs all the time.

Comments On Jan 03, 2015:Purchased this rim for my son's RMZ250. Rocky sent 19 x 2.15 rim. Stock rim size is 19 x 1.85. I was told that's what Tusk reccomends but I feel this is not a good choice for a 250 4 stroke, as this is the size for a 450. When Pro Wheel is selected on this site, the only option for this bike is a 19 x 1.85, which is correct.

Comments On May 20, 2014:We are running this rim in Endurocross with a Golden Tyre. So far we have not had any problem. We are using an old bib mousse and it seems to be holding up to the abuse well. I was surprised at the quality for the price.
Additional Comments On Aug 20, 2014:We just put a weekend at the Tennessee knockout,and I am updating several part reviews. Very few will put parts through more of a test than that event. I was skeptical about this rim, but it has performed exceptionally.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 30, 2014:Rim has the rim lock and the hole for the inner tube nearly on opposite sides. The finish was perfect, and I laced it with the Tusk spoke kit, following Rocky Mountain's YouTube video showing me how to lace and true it. I got it within 1mm axial and radial runout. I checked the rim offset and had to move the whole rim over because I was off by 1/8".
The rim offset for a 2012 KX450f is measured from the brake disk seating surface of the hub to the outside edge of the rim at 28.5mm +or- .5mm. You will have to remove the disk and loctite it back on to a torque of 204 in lbs.

Comments On Apr 24, 2014:Great finish, straight wheel, trued perfect!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 18, 2014:I haven't put any time on the rim yet to check for strength but the installation went fine. I also haven't tried the more expensive brands but I did notice while lacing this one up and truing it there was some slight waviness (0.010") in the rim that couldn't be eliminated. The end result was still well within the runout spec so maybe I'm just too picky. Otherwise I just wish I could have had a rim in silver or natural aluminum. The black looks good when new, but is going to get beat up and the bare aluminum would not show scratches as well.

probably should just buy a new one, to much effort to weld it back and grind it down, not worth the time and effort in my opinion

We regularly silver solder blades in a jig. Been doing it for too many years to remember. Still have all my fingers too. I will say it pays me but my blades are 160 inches long and my supplier is 70 miles away. There is nothing wrong with it if it is done right in my opinion. Is it worth it? It is for me but it depends on the the cost and availability of replacements in your area and I guess how badly mangled the blade is and how much pressure there is to get back to cutting.
I do both, I have spare full blades for I need this job done now breaks and I keep the broken blades to solder them back together when I have a few to do. Usually the blades are trash when I am done with them though.

I was thinking also of buying new one. I know it's not really recommended
to braze broken saw blades. Perhaps, I'll just order Haltbar blades.
Thank you so much for your help guys

Recipe by Erica G.
"This is my mom's recipe for Rice Pudding. It's the best I've ever tasted and it gets rave reviews from everyone I serve it to. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired. For creamier pudding, use short or medium grain rice."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3/4 cup
uncooked white rice
2 cups
milk, divided
1/3 cup
white sugar
1/4 teaspoon
egg, beaten
2/3 cup
golden raisins
1 tablespoon
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
The secret to any rice pudding is the timing of the sugar. It must not be added until the rice is thoroughly cooked otherwise it will forever remain hard. Those who did not like this recipe should test the rice for tenderness before adding the sugar in the final stage of the recipe.
I made this with short brown whole grain rice and it left the pudding very chewy. Also, when I added the egg, it cooked very quickly and left chunks of white egg that had to be removed.

My daughter found this recipe on the site and decided to make it last night. Erica, I wish I could give this more than five stars because it was incredible! My dad worked for Tuscan Dairy for fifty years in Union, N.J. and they made an amazing rice pudding, which I've never been able to even nearly duplicate. Thanks to you, this is pretty close! I omitted the raisins and used skim milk because it was the only thing I had in the house. The next time Ty gets a desire to make this great dessert, I'll have her use evaporated skim milk as it really replicates a light cream or a whole milk. Thanks so much!
Very easy. The first time I made this recipe I made it with long grain rice (not knowing the difference between long, med, and short) and half and half. Second time I made it with medium grain rice, skim milk and less sugar. The medium grain rice made a huge difference in the end product, do not make the mistake of using long grain rice the pudding will just not be the same! Also, no need to use half and half it was just as good with the skim milk---save yourself the calories! I liked it better with a little less sugar.
Erica is my new hero! This is, without a doubt, the BEST and EASIEST rice pudding recipe I have ever made. I followed the suggestions of others and used medium grain rice and half the sugar called for. I didn't put the sugar into the pudding until it was the consistency I wanted. Remember to put some of the warm mixture into the egg and milk before SLOWLY adding it to your pot so you don't end up with "egg-drop" in your rice pudding!
If you've never made rice pudding before or are looking for an excellent, easy recipe, this one is for you! Thanks, again, Erica. :)
I had a taste for a really good rice pudding, and this one is a keeper!!! I to added cinnamon,vanilla, and nutmeg, i also added a little more sugar! I added the salt to my boiling water that I cooked my rice in. Rice cooked without salt is hard to season. I will make this again. Thanks!!!!!!!
Quick, easy and scrumptious! I'm not quite sure why the instructions call for the use of two saucepans, though. I just continued to use the same one the rice was cooked in. Couldn't have been easier.
This was absolutely delicious! I never made homemade rice pudding before, but I had all the ingredients and some left over rice.
First of all, I buttered my rice when it was cooking in step 1. This eliminates the need for it in the later part of step 2 and lends to a richer pudding.
I generally watch the fat in my recipes, so I made mine with skim milk, which added another 6 or 7 minutes on to the total cooking time. I also increased the sugar a little, as I preferred it a bit sweeter (it's a matter of preference). But the main key is to add some of cooking pudding (from the pot) to a seperate bowl with the egg and milk mixture. This brings the egg and milk mixture to a warmer, more consistant temperature to what's in the pot and prevents the egg from scrambling. After about 3 minutes mixing them together in the bowl, slowly add the egg and milk mixture to the pot and continue cooking for about 2 minutes, until thickened.
Sprinkle it with a bit of cinnamon before serving. This pudding is delicious hot or cold. I will be making this recipe often. Thanks!

Ana easily reached the third round of the Sony Open Tennis in Miami by crushing world No.55 Lauren Davis from the United States 6-1, 6-1.
The 12th seed was in command from the very first exchange and Ana dominated throughout the 62-minute match. She quickly raced into a 5-0 lead, before Davis managed to get on the scoreboard in game six. Nonetheless, Ana wrapped up the first act some instants later, remarkably winning 87 per cent of the points on her second serve during the set.
It was more of the same in the second set as the American proved no match for a relentless Ana. Davis broke Ana while down a double break, but she could never rally with the world No.13, who continued to assert her authority and book her spot in the third round.
The 26-year-old will face either Belorussian Olga Govortsova or world No.12 Flavia Pennetta from Italy in round three.
Ana has entered the doubles competition with a wild card alongside Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens. They will meet the Slovakian-Czech pairing of Janette Husarova and Iveta Melzer in the first round.

I looked at the title and I can't tell you how much I loved it. Maybe It's because I HATE the Packers so much.
Let's see your boy A-rod do it again before you put him above one of the all time greats
Did you actually say Peyton Manning is not an elite Quarter back? Are you saying Aaron Rogers is better then Peyton Manning? Do you think before you talk? Aaron Roger's is 2011's Drew Brees. He will end up on the cover of Madden 12 and lose in the divisional playoffs next year.
acctually Drew Brees was the next Peyton Manning. In 2007 Peyton led his team to a super bowl win over chicago while the very next year losing in the divisional round to new england 3 to 20 while throwing no touchdowns and a pic atleast drews team put a fight...
Yeah, I don't agree with the saying of Manning is not an elite QB either, but I gave you the vote because I hate Rodgers and Da Pack.
I think the whole Rodgers is better than Peyton Manning is totally out of the box and wrong here. Look at Rodgers. The Packers got hot at the end of the season and rode the philly, atlanta, bears all on the road to the Super Bowl. Remind you of anything? When the Giants beat the Pats in 2007 they won all their road playoff games and got hot at the right time. There certainly was no talk of Eli being better than his brother or Brady for that matter and look what has happened since... Eli and the Giants are back in their place struggling at the end of seasons to get in and make noise. Until Rodgers shows he can get back into the playoffs and get to the NFC title game and consistently make the Pack a contender... Never will he be better than Brady or Manning.
Aaron Rodgers isnt as good as peyton manning looking at careers, but looking at the last three years, since Aaron has been a starter, peyton has thrown 93 tds and 45 int and has a play off record of 2 and 3 with no superbowls. Aaron has thrown for 86 tds and 31 int and has had a playoff record of 4 and 1. i doubt Aaron will have the career peyton has had but, he is better than peyton as of late.
Look at the talent Peyton has around him the last 3 years compared to Aaron Rodgers. Can you imagine what Manning would do if he had Driver and Jennings? Also Peyton made it to the Super Bowl last year he just didn't win it. Peyton made the playoffs the last 3 seasons while Aaron hasn't

Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 4.67 out of 9 votes cast
Almost Perfect!
These pants fit perfectly in the legs and the length was perfect with a pair of flats or short heel. However, they were absolutely huge in the waist (about 3 or 4 inches) I am 5'7" and 125 pounds and ordered the size 4. I have two pairs of the Katherine Wide Leg Pants in size 4, and they fit perfectly in every way except they were a little long (which was easily remedied with a hem) I so love the fabric and the way these pants look with a longer top or sweater that I will keep them and take them in somehow in the waist to make them work. Plus the price was right!
Got to be Comfortable
Quarryville, PA
I lost a few pounds, and had to give away my black and gray pair..but found the black in my size...hated to see the blue not in my size, but found the pants on metrostyle...I still may get the gray before my size sells out(smoke)..these are the best, dressy pants for me!!!! I bought some for my Mom, also.
Best Casual Friday Pants Ever
I had my doubts about these pants, but they kept appearing in the catalog so I decided they must be good sellers for some reason. I have to say I absolutely love these pants! I'm an average size and average build (i.e. little too much in some places but overall pretty good shape) and these actually give my back side a great profile and make my legs look a good four inches longer. They're the perfect combo of Friday jeans and office slacks. I wash mine and hang them up to dry; low maintenance. I'm back now to buy another pair or two.

need white!!
I have ordered these in every color and I would love white for spring..please!! Also, could you make these in 33 or 34 length...love, love these
Great fit, but color not true
I love the way these pants fit, but the color isn't what I thought it would be. I ordered the black pants which looks like charcoal gray. I also ordered the blue. The blue is not a true navy but its better than the black. If you are looking for black as in jet black these aren't the ones.
Kay from Tennessee
Smyrna, TN
love these pants
I have these pants in gray and black. Will probably get these in the "jean" blue. I am 129 lbs and 5-6 and they fit true to size in the size 6. I wear jeans all the time, even for dressy occasions, and these look like dressy jeans.
This Pant is Perfect!
I actually have purchased these pants in 3 different sizes - let me explain. I have recently been losing weight and I first bought these in a size 10, then size 8 and then size 6 (as I have continued to lose weight) because I love them so much. The reason I purchased these is because they look fantastic on, the flat front helps hide the tummy bulge some of us have, the fit and flare look of these are professional-looking for work and casual enough for play. I purchased these in both the black and the denim colors. I wear the navy (which looks like denim) and black color for "dress down" day at work, but I also dress them up with sandals or nicer shoes and a nice sweater or shirt if I want to wear them at work for my regular work day. I love that they sit right below the waist (not too low to provide a "muffin-top" when you sit). I would recommend these pants to anyone. (I am 5'4" and weigh 126, and wear the size 6 petite) - length is perfect for heels or flat.

Excellent Fit
These are so nice. Excellent fit. Great fabric. Don't wrinkle. Slight stretch. Very flattering. I now have 4 pair.
Rockwall TX
Ladies, I want you to know that these are the very BEST fitting jeans/slacks you will ever find!! I ordered them last year, and was able to get one pair in the navy that fit. They went on back-order ever since, and now they are available again, for which I am thrilled!!I just ordered 2 in black, 1 in smoke, and 1 in navy. I am 64 years old, wear a size 8 or so. Since menopause, I have gained thickness through the tummy area and the waist. My waist measures about 30". I have NEVER found jeans/slacks that fit this perfectly. They make me look thin, and they are youthful looking and very flattering. Trust me. My advice is to order 3 sizes of one color, and find your perfect size, returning the 2 that don't fit. They are SO worth the effort.The fabric is light enough to be worn in Texas summers, and in their winters too. It stretches to a degree, and always looks nice. The band at the waist fits in such a way that it flattens my tummy a bit, giving a smooth look. Th

The Micro-Ohmmeter is used to measure extremely low resistances with high accuracy at specified test currents and is used for contact and bonding applications. The Micro-Ohmmeter is also referred to as a DLRO, which is an acronym widely used in industry for "Digital Low Resistance Ohmmeter" and is registered trademark by Megger Corporation.
What are Kelvin Probes and why are they important for measuring Low Resistance?
Micro-Ohmmeters and Milliohmmeters are commonly used with a 4-wire measurement system referred to as the Kelvin System.
A Kelvin System allows low resistance measurements to be taken without the influence of the measuring probes, leads, contact points, and wiring. This is a way of measuring continuity and bonding resistances ensuring all contact and lead resistances are compensated, which allows a much greater accuracy in final measurements. Four wire measurements using Kelvin Probes reduces the voltage drop in test leads that cause measurement inaccuracies, making them excellent for resistance measurements below 1 ohm.
Typical Applications for Micro-Ohmmeters
Bonding Resistance Verification on the Grounding System
Circuit Breaker contacts
Bus-Bar Joints and Connections
High-Current Links
Switchgear Contact Resistance
Electrical Substations
Air Frame Bonding
Rail Bonding
Pipeline Bonding
Cable Resistance
Electric Motors
Transformer Windings
Printed Circuit Boards
Battery Strap Resistance Checks
Residential Electrical Integrity
Since an increase in contact resistance may lead to power loss and an increase in temperature, many problems in equipment or in the system may occur. The most common uses would be to measure the contact resistance of electrical connections either at the breaker, incoming service, or at other bus-bar or high voltage connections. It is suggested to measure contact resistance (bonding) at regular intervals.
Here is an example of the difference in power loss in the same circuit with different resistance values. At 10K amps with a contact resistance of 0.1 milli-ohm, the power loss would be 10 KW. If the contact resistance for the same connection was 1 milli-ohm, the power loss becomes 100 KW.

Quite true, most of the basic phones are the old people style low vision phones that are positively hideous. I've currently got the plainest (Nokia) clamshell phone I could find and even it has a host of nonsense "features" that annoy the hell outa me. 4 music stores, 3 GPS mapping programs, shopping apps, and a bunch of nondescript hipster crapware that does I have no idea what.
It's a phone. ...that works poorly as a phone because I have to sort through all the crap to get to the phone features.

Travelling by HGV
To get the goods and services we need in Birmingham we all rely on freight, whether it is transported by road, rail, air or canal. Most familiar to us is the freight carried on the roads by Heavy Goods Vehicles which we see delivering to the shops, work places and hospitals.
Road Freight in Birmingham
Anyone who parks vehicles overnight weighing between 3.5 to 40 tonnes gross vehicle weight, has to have an Operators' Licence to comply with the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995. Licenses are obtained at the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (www.vosa.gov.uk/).
Concerned about the Parking of Goods Vehicles?
If you are concerned that Heavy Goods Vehicles are illegally parked, you can check all registered licences at individual postcodes at: VOSA Operator Search (www.tan.gov.uk).
The West Midlands Freight Quality Partnership (FQP)
The FQP (www.westmidlandsltp.gov.uk) is a partnership between Local Authorities, Transport Authorities, Commercial Freight Operators and other interested organisations. The FQP aims to promote efficient and effective distribution of freight movement in the West Midlands sub-region, covering Wolverhampton, Birmingham and Coventry. If you are a freight operator we are particularly interested to hear your views as we are actively recruiting new members.
Reservations can be made by calling 0121 675 5119, between 8am-6pm, Monday - Friday.

Goals: Astrophysics missions focus on discovering the origin, structure, evolution and destiny of the Universe, and searching for Earthlike planets orbiting distant stars.
Accomplishments: Focused on the farthest reaches of space, astrophysics missions have exponentially increased our understanding of the Universe in only a few decades. Orbiting spacecraft have found hundreds of planets orbiting distant stars -- zeroing in on increasingly smaller targets. They pinpointed the age of our Universe (13.73 billion years) and logged the births and deaths of distant stars. Missions, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, also have produced some of the most iconic imagery of the space age.

What would you do if you inherited fifty million dollars, from your fathers estate of one billion dollars?
I have a belief that inheriting a billion dollars doesn't encourage investment, while inheriting smaller amounts does so by way of a poll I am asking what you would do if you inherited 50,000,000$ of 1,000,000,000$ what would you do.
Jan 24 2013: I agree with Mike Trainor.
Spend it.
There are people who need food.....Right Now!
They need water...............................Right Now!
They need medical............................Right Now!
They need clothing and housing.......Right Now!
I would spend it all feeding them, clothing them, getting them medical aid, water and housing, immediately, and without any money going to agencies, governments or anyone that isn't in any kind of need, but just becomes a parasitic leech on the funds.
Maybe, just maybe, others would see that and finally realize that that is what we all should be doing, Right Now!
Nothing else is important.
For those who believe in a God, they will be asked (I guess),why they didn't drop whatever it was they were doing and just focus on that.
Just as there really is enough to go around, with everyone pitching in, at once, there is enough to go around and what goes around, comes back around.
Jan 25 2013: Random
So you wont spend it on yourself rather spend it on people who most need it?
very good thought.
Jan 25 2013: Immediately.
To me it is insane to even consider, though I know people have good intentions and this isn't exactly the way it happens, but I imagine to someone starving to death or dying of thirst it might seem this way.
What it is, is the idea, "Hey, I know you're starving but we're putting together a program and we'll have it working in five years. So, can you hold off eating until then? Can you just not eat until we get everything worked out and I promise you, you'll be eating in five years. Promise."
People need things right this minute and anyone who makes a lot of money should be spending almost all of it to help anyone in such dire need.
I can't imagine what it must like to be rich and either see all the deprivation going on around you, and continue driving on, shopping around or to somehow deny to yourself that there are such things, such people and such conditions.
A poor man in Puerto Rico had someone sneak into his back yard and steal some of his bananas because he was hungry. He caught him and simply told him, next time, just come to the front door.
Why don't the white people in America solve the problem of racism?
They say they can't. Why not? They're white.
Why don't rich people solve the problem of poverty, starvation, in poor countries?
They say they can't. Why not? They're rich. They're Americans.
Americans have something like four times the amount of food available to them than they actually use. Four times!
And they can't share it? Why not? They've got it.

I would spend all the money for making people know what INVALID (ineffective, untrue, unreal) happiness is.
Then, my offspring and their indispensable symbiots (humankind) can survive.
(For INVALID happiness, see the 1st article, points 1-3, 14, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)Jan 26 2013: so basically everyone would either spend it or invest it? well if thats the case what economic benefit is there in encouraging the passing of large fortunes from one generation to the next , by large I mean more than 100,000,000 dollars, which seems in the usa to be a large percentage of the people who control the majority of our nations money. What are the numbers do you think on how many estates of more than 100,000,000$ are passed on each year?Jan 25 2013: start a company,make investments,help the needy by providing them with proper care.Jan 24 2013: What I want to do.Jan 24 2013: G'day Russell
What the heck would I do with fifty million dollars to start with? I don't wish to be high & mighty as I'm content the way things are in my life so why change contentment into high & mighty snobbery? No thank you but I think you are right with this assumption that the more one has the less one is going to invest.

1 cup
yellow cornmeal
1 cup

1/4 teaspoon
1/8 teaspoon
black pepper
1/4 cup
white sugar
4 teaspoons
baking powder
1 cup
1 quart
vegetable oil for frying
2 (16 ounce) packages
beef frankfurters
16 wooden skewers
These are awesome. Since the hot dogs are smooth, you need to roll them in flour first. This will help keep the batter on. I poured the batter in a mason jar (quart size) and dipped the hot dogs in the jar.It's alot easier than rolling them around. Thanks
used all beef frankfurters. the taste was okay. it wasn't crunchy though. maybe next time i will fry it longer and add some spices like cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the mix

As a former carney, I LOVE these! The one thing I miss most about being a part of a traveling carnival company is the hand-dipped corn dogs. I have a couple of suggestions for achieving corn dog perfection: 1) Dry the hot dogs with a paper towel before dipping them in the batter. This way, you don't need to coat them with flour or anything before dipping. 2) Make sure your batter is ICE COLD. This will make it thicker and it will resist "melting" off into the oil before it firms up from frying. 3) Use regular Farmer John hot dogs...not the all-beef kind (that's what the carnival food wagons all use!). 4) Omit the black pepper from this recipe. It's not needed.
Very yummy. I've found that putting the prepared batter in a drinking glass helps ease the process... it's the perfect size tool to batter a hot dog!
I loved that I could use good quality kosher hotdogs. You don't always know the quality of meat that are in those at the fair!! I precooked the hotdogs first in boiling water for 7 min. I then let the mixture and the hotdogs rest for 10 min. I coated them with corn starch and the mixture stuck very well. Also, make sure your oil is the perfect temp. 365 degrees was perfect for me. If it is too hot the outside will burn and the inside batter will be raw. If it is not hot enough the batter will slide off. I love these because they are crunchy on the outside. Great recipe!!!!
Wonderful recipe!!! Roll your hotdog in corn starch first. It will prevent your batter from slidding off.
Quick and delicious! Make mini's by cutting the wieners first, and using the fry daddy. I may never buy frozen corn dogs again. THANKS
Tasted great! My husband was raving!!! Dry the dogs before coating and the batter sticks just fine. YUMMY!

Emergency Shutdown of LPG Tank Farms
Is It Allowed from the Standard Point of View to Use the Existing Level Transmitters to Control the Inlet and Outlet Shutdown Valves?
Q: We have four liquified petroleum gas (LPG) spherical tanks complete with low-level transmitters connected to the shutdown system to stop the outlet pumps in case of low level, and high-level transmitters providing high level alarm. The following modifications are planned:
- Installation of a new shutdown valve at the inlet of each tank to be closed in case of high level and in case of common planned shutdown (PSD) or emergency shutdown (ESD).
- Installation of new shutdown valves at the outlet of each tank, which will be closed in case of low level in the corresponding tank and in case of common PSD or ESD.
- Installation of a new shutoff valves in the vapor line of each tank. The vapor lines will be connected together to equalize the pressure in the vapor spaces of the four tanks.
- Installation of a new standalone hydraulic control system complete with a dedicated PLC system to manage the operation of the new shutdown system.
- A serial interface between the new PLC and the existing DCS which presently monitors the operation.
- A hardwired interface between the existing ESD/F&G system and the new hydraulic/PLC system.
Now my question is this: Is it allowed from the standard point of view to use the existing level transmitters to control the inlet and outlet shutdown valves? In other words, is it allowed to convert the existing analog level signals from the existing ESD system into digital, and send them as digital input into the new PLC system, or do we have to install new dedicated transmitters?
Ragab Abdel Fattah
A: Firstly, congratulations to all of you for getting rid of the dictatorship in Egypt, and taking your nation's future into your own hands by successfully conducting a free election.
The question you ask is very familiar. I come across it on many projects when users are converting from a semi-manual mode of operation, such as yours, where the DCS automatically stops the outlet pumps on low level, but on high level, it provides no automatic action, only monitors, leaving the closing of valves to the operators or to an automatic control system serving emergency shutdown (ESD). Your choice of operating the new shutoff valves by a separate PLC is a logical one, and your plan to hardwire the PLC to the sensors is the correct one. Given the state of the art and reliability of wireless transmission, I recommend using wireless only for monitoring, but not for control and certainly not for ESD purposes.
Your question concerning the reuse of the existing level detectors and the safest method for interfacing the existing DCS with the new PLC is also often asked. On some projects, I found people getting in trouble by relying on standards, instead of trusting their common sense. In my view, you should always follow your common sense.
Concerning the reuse of existing level detectors, the common sense answer is that using two sensors is better than one! Detecting the occurrence of an unsafe condition by redundant sensors improves safety if either will trigger the ESD action. Naturally, if only one of the two sensors signaled abnormal level and triggered an ESD, then, before the operation is restarted, both sensors should be recalibrated. In other words, the safety integrity level (SIL) of a redundant-sensor-based system is always better than a single-sensor-based one if the above approach is used. Therefore, on the one hand, you should continue using the existing detectors, and, on the other, you should install another set of backup sensors.
The other rule dictated by common sense is that the fewer the number of components between the sensor and the actuated device, the safer the ESD system. Therefore, the new level detector signals should be hardwired directly to the PLC. Naturally, you should also hardwire the DCS outputs to the PLC, so that shutdown will be initiated whenever abnormal level conditions are detected by either sensor.
If you find that a particular standard disagrees with the above two points, it is the standard that should be revised, not the design. In other words, I would keep using the existing level sensors and, in addition, install backup level detectors on each tank. This way, safety will be improved, because each of the level measurements will be redundant, and the cost of adding these backup sensors is small relative to the cost of the project.
I would install non-contacting, radar-type level detectors as the new sensors, and would hardwire them directly to the PLC. I would do that because, this way, we are always measuring the actual level, regardless of the "swelling" that occurs whenever the vapor space pressure drops or the LPG temperature rises. I would install a single, frequency- modulated carrier wave (FMCW) type radar transmitter on the top of each spherical LPG tank and wire it to the PLC, and would continue using the existing level transmitters through the DCS as a backup in the redundant ESD.

The solution recommended is the best to improve the safety system in place.
However,I want to know in such system,could it be that the hydraulic whesseo valve usually at the liquid inlet/outlet has been eliminated since automatic control shutdown valves are now installed?

motrrrpsycho, was your suspension stock before you switched to FSD with stock springs? If so, did the fronts also feel like "mush" before the switch?

Vag Evolution: MkI Rabbit -> MkII 16v GTI -> B5 S4/MkV .:R32
My mod progression (chasis related) listing in "stages" of stuff I installed at close to the same time:
0) Started with a bone stock .:R
1) Haldex + switch, Neuspeed RSB, Autotech dogbone insert, 21 lb 18x8 wheels
2) Passat aluminium LCAs + spindles, Koni FSDs
3) RB 330 brake kit (also slightly lighter than stock Centric rear rotors)
4) 17 lb 17x8 wheels, HPA dogbone, Tyrol subframe collar kit
5) 034 trailing arm spherical bushings, GC coilover conversion kit at 450lb 7" front, 350lb 10" rear
That's where I am right now, with a front ride height of 26.75 and rear at 25.75 both dialed full down.
Question on front end mush - yes - definitely still an issue with the FSDs. The Konis were a great overall improvement and perform as advertised with tighter damping under steady corner load and much better than stock small bump absorption. I think my confidence level with the car, how hard I drive it, plus other mods make it hard to compare from memory now with / without FSDs, but the main problems (for me) are still front end dive under braking, front body roll and lack of ability to take big bumps - mainly mid corner. I will be putting on a new front air dam as soon as I get my springs sorted coz my original one is ground down to a little nub from dragging on the ground so much. The FSDs may have helped with those issues to a point but can not fix them by themselves - at least not on this particular car (given its front end weight and wimpy stock front springs). So I'm pretty sure stiffer springs will help. It's just turning out to be a bit of trial and error to get the right ones. Live and learn...
A GB just started for the Ohlin TTX's that I mentioned I was going to get for my S4...how does that relate here? I mentioned some spring rates that PSi recommended and I immediately got a response from the distributor (034 in this case) about the rates they use on their Time Attack car and that all orders would be discussed with each specific buyer to determine the appropriate rates for them.
Just a comparison with the headache some of us are dealing with here to even get the rates for an off the shelf system for this car.
Basically, we need to let manufacturers and retailers of products for this car know that we actually care about the parts we put on our cars too and they can't just drop some marketing piece with a bunch of fluff and expect us to buy. Part of what I've been trying to do with threads like this since I showed up here. [/rant]

Vag Evolution: MkI Rabbit -> MkII 16v GTI -> B5 S4/MkV .:R32
I called performance shock yesterday to ask about potentially grinding perches off and / or re-valving my FSDs. They gave me some helpful feedback and info that I thought I'd pass along in case it help anyone else considering FSDs and / or Ohlins R&T.
They said with regard to the Ohlins, that they are basically way overpriced and really not all they are cracked up to be
Just kidding - just kidding - just kidding - hehe... Just messin with Slave
Back on a serious note, they said that they think very highly of the FSDs, that they are really the only thing out there that can come close to the Ohlins in terms of giving you both improved performance AND improved ride. Basically the only 2 options out there for dampers that can actually deliver on that promise - the Ohlins being better at it but (obviously) also cost a lot more, so for the money - the FSDs are pretty dang good.
However, they also told me that they don't think the FSDs will be able to handle as heavy of spring weights as the Ohlins, and they do not rebuild or re-valve FSDs (would have to send them to Koni for that). They also said that while the FSDs compare well to the Ohlins (especially for the money) on the street, the difference is bigger on the track. They didn't actually say it this way - I'm just making up these numbers - but I got the impression they were saying FSDs might be 80% as good for the street but only 60% as good for track (something along those lines).
Wonder what a good street spring rate for the FSD would be. Long time I looked into spring rates etc how big does the diff front rear need to be? There was something that otherwise you can get harmonic frequencies build up ( or so).

SilverSquirrel - thanks for that link. The info re bump stop interactions with the FSDs (from someone at Koni no less) is really helpful.
Yes, FSDs are designed to work with stock springs, but the Koni guy does not say to stay away from any other springs or ride heights. He says they work well with Eibach pro kit springs and others with "moderate" lowering.
I'm staying close to stock ride height and will be looking at rather I need to cut bump stops now, but what the Koni guy said about how the FSDs cut rebound damping when they hit bump stops (when you would actually not want them to) makes me wonder if they will do the same thing with linear springs. Hm.....
Well, since a dyno plot shows us that damping force varies with frequency, and since frequency is a function of spring rate and vehicle mass, (not talking about how fast the car goes, but how fast the shock goes up and down), I would think a FREQUENCY SELECTIVE DAMPER aka FSD,would be even more sensitive to changes in spring rate and /or vehicle mass than a stock or other non FSD damper.
The "sweet spot" where the FSD changes from soft to firm, on a given car, with a given spring rate, will change. better? worse? who knows. not me.
What happens when you put a shock designed for a 3000 lb car, with a 180 lb/in spring, on to a 4000 lb car with a 300 lb/in spring?

For the GTI they were reviewed favorably with DG springs ( yes I know diff weight of car, dampers, ....).
Ok what would be a good guesstimate for FSD and street? 350/250? As my car didn't gain 1000lbs overnight
Sorry BLix... I was directing that last at Motorpsycho.
Interesting to learn from a previous post a page back that
Koni makes different FSD for regular mkv vs r32.
Why would they do a crazy thing like that?
compared to a mkv gti, the r32 is 400+ lbs heavier, about 13% fatter! So FSD for say, GTI, will be 13% less damped (bouncier)
Also, stock r32 springs are 20 to 35% stiffer than GTI, meaning the damping force of the FSD will be that much more inadequate, making the suspension even further underdamped COMPARED TO THE GTI, WHICH THE FSD WAS DESIGNED FOR. This will make the ride soft and bouncy, and not as smooth.
About the sweet spot comment:
Think about this: Stiffer springs will make the suspension travel less given the same bump at the same speed for the same car. right? But the bump takes the same time to go over in either case. velocity=distance/time, Therefore the velocity seen by the FSD could be seen as "low speed" where as before you changed springs, the shock thought it was getting a "high speed" bump, and opening the FSD valve to soften up. Now, it keeps the valve closed, and you experience a hard hit, and then the car pogos up and down because the damping is inadequate, where if you kept stock springs, it would have soaked the bump up and kept rollin down the road.
My point is, much like the bump stop issue (see link to MKVI forum above) with regard to FSD's working correctly, I think they would be sensitive to changes in spring rate, and car weight, MORE SO than other "normal" shocks. And this is on top of the problem of a shock not being valved correctly for a specific spring, car weight, and intended use!
Im just puzzle piecing this stuff together from reading this thread, and others, and some googling on suspension math.
Audi is the girl who was really cute in high school, but now puts on way too much makeup in order to try and hang out with the hot girls.
Good stuff, guys. Coincidentally I just discovered today while looking at shocks on tirerack.com that several PN's are the same between MKV GTI & MKV R32. I thought this seemed odd, so looked them up on Koni's web site. While TR lists same PNs between GTI and R32, both Koni sports (yellows) and FSDs show different PNs on the Koni site. I dug up my paperwork from when I got FSDs installed and guess which ones I have... The GTI PN. F**King awesome.
SilverSquirrel - your thoughts do seem to make a lot of sense. I'll be calling Koni first thing in the AM.
I'm supposed to be dropping my car off @ 9 AM to get my 2nd set of GC springs installed. Same shop that ordered the FSDs and installed the for me. If they bought them from TR or somewhere else that listed the GTI PN for the R32, then its not the shops fault, but hopefully they can get whoever they ordered from to take some responsibility for sending the wrong ones. Makes me wonder now what the CORRECT FSDs for the .:R would feel like - even with stock springs.
That the FSD and other Konis were sold as " for R32" isn't good business practice. Someone ordered the STR ( or what the basic line is called). And that the GTI shocks were sold to R32 owners it even tougher to understand ( as here there are two part numbers).
Koni step up!
Got results from Mike at TyrolSport today on spring rates for the VR6 A3. The only other bit of data beyond the measurements from this and my previous post is that the Euro springs lowered the front of my car by about 5/8" and kept the rear at the same ride height.
In round numbers:
S-Line F = 180 lb/in
Euro F = 280 lb/in
S-Line R = 250 lb/in
Euro R = 330 lb/in
❚A VR6 AWD w/ lots of goodies
Hmm and as the FSD are probably designed for the Euro springs .....
Too much guesswork for me as I have little real knowledge on this issue and if I would try couldn't expect to improve it ( no track no experience to translate driving feel into technical changes).
Got some more info and news to share. I talked with Lee G. @ Koni and he tells me that the different PN for the FSDs for R32 only came out about a year ago and is only very slightly different. He said the fronts are still the exact same PN, only the rears are different. For the rears, the body is 10mm different (I think he said longer, but can't remember for sure now) and that it had slightly different dampening. He said if you already have the older PN to not worry about it - it was not a significant difference and certainly not worth the cost / effort to replace.
As for ride height and spring questions, he basically re-iterated what he was quoted as saying in that other thread - stay off the bump stops and you should be fine. I asked if he thought linear springs that are stiffer rates than stock should be OK. He said linear vs progressive does not matter, and somewhat stiffer and/or lower is fine. He said that because they are not manually rebound adjustable, you should not go -too- much stiffer than stock - if so, get yellows. Or if you are lowering to the point where you can't avoid some bump stop contact - get yellows. Otherwise FSDs are fine.
A note on yellows: Lee mentioned that while the different PNs between GTI and R32 are not significantly different for the FSDs, he said the difference for yellows IS significant, so if anyone is thinking of getting yellows, make sure you get the R32 PN from the Koni site before you order. A lot of the sites out there may still list the same PN for both GTI and R32.
As for my set up with the Ground Control kit - GC insisted that the 5" long front springs would work for me and that I would not have an issue with travel. Maybe they work for the GTI, I don't know, but for me - first corner I took at an even semi quick pace and hit a bump - I slammed in to the bump stops hard and just as Koni described, the FSDs don't try to resist the rebound force so I bounced up and down 3 or 4 times off the bump stops from (I think) just one bump in the road. I could try cutting my bump stops, sure, but as easily and as hard as I hit them, I can't imagine I will recover enough travel unless completely removing them which can obviously kill the shocks, sooo yeah. I'm screwed. Not sure what to do next, but lesson learned - do NOT try to use a GC kit with Konis or any other shock with welded on perches UNLESS you know going in that you will have to cut / grind the perches off. Now I either have to do that, buy Ohlins or try to get GC to take the kit back and do something else all together.
That blows . All this work for nothing.
But I remember the diff PN are older than 1 year. There was change to the FSD in the beginning (high pressure > low pressure or so) as the early FSD seemed to have lifted the vehicle.
I asked on here before and got no reply, but what would you guys recommend for a track set up; Bilstein struts and H&R springs or Some KW v1 coilovers? I'm looking to spend around a grand, less if possible. Thanks!
'13 CW Golf R
'08 UG R32 - Brother's - RIP
'10 Audi A4 - Momma's
personally I would go with Bilstein Sports and Factory springs. IMO Then use the other money and go to the track and get to know your car.
Tires should be on your list for the track.
Thanks for all the recent updates! Sucks about the FSD's...sounds like those are not a great option for this car since they didn't even bother to change much between the kits for the GTi and R32. I would still try them with different springs and not use the GC coilover kit.
whyderp, between your two options, I'd go with KW V1's. But if you really want a track setup, how much track time do you have in the car so far? If not too much, I'd suggest tracking it with the stock suspension to see exactly what you want to improve and save your money in the meantime. I really think Ohlins are the way to go (even with stock springs) or maybe the KW Clubsports. It might cost more than you want to spend now but if you save up, work on your driving and be patient, I think it will be worth it to get something better than what you listed.

Vag Evolution: MkI Rabbit -> MkII 16v GTI -> B5 S4/MkV .:R32
Here is the "stance" achieved with the 7" 450lb/in fronts and the 10" 350 lb/in rears (now about a 1/4" lower front and rear:
Looking at where the perches are placed for the linear Eibach springs, it is hard to imagine that they are much lower than what you could have achieved on your FSDs. Regarding the rears, they were high initially (~25.5") but settled to around 24.75" after a week or so. That should have been your experience as well.
"Too stiff" may be in the eye of the beholder or a function of how well the dampers work with the springs. As I mentioned in my updated post with pics:
Since the install, I have maybe hit the bump stops in the front once, but only in the most extreme conditions. Previously, I was hitting the OEM bump stops frequently on much lesser irregularities.
Moreover, by maintaining near stock ride-height, the ability of the suspension to "extend" into "dips" has been impressive--especially at higher speeds. Less so at lower speeds, but that is to be expected. Truth be told, the increased "stiffness" of the springs is really only felt at such low speeds. At 40 mph and above, the suspension seemingly does most of the work and makes the car feel "planted" and "stable", unlike the OEM suspension. Turning into corners, the front outside corner doesn't dive like before. I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
Jay - no man, I don't blame you at all (maybe GC to an extent). My main reason for posting this stuff is not to whine or blame, but hopefully to get at least some value out of my pain in the arse situation by possibly helping someone else avoid the same mistakes or have a better starting point if they want to try GC + Konis. Your descriptions of results with your set up make me REALLY tempted to just splurge a bit and go for the Ohlins, though I'm trying to reserve discretionary funds for another project (SC).
BTW - what is "stock" ride height, anyway?

About Bat Houses
Bats live across North America, but since they're small, fast, and nocturnal, you may have never noticed them in your neighbourhood. Since this bat house is an ideal home for them, within a month or so you should have some bats starting to live there.
Bats will locate the house quicker if it is located 15-20 feet off the ground, facing southeast. Bats tend to find houses mounted on poles faster than those mounted on trees. You can also mount a bat house under the eaves of your home, providing it's high enough off the ground.
If you have problems with mosquitoes, install this bat house to encourage them to live nearby. Bats sleep during the day, and emerge at night to eat bugs such as mosquitoes, moths, flies, and gnats. Unless you stay up and watch, you might never even see the bats. Bat houses are the ultimate in low-impact, natural insect control.
Organization for Bat Conservation bat houses are made in the USA and proceeds go back into conservation work.

Questions about the Single Chamber Wooden Bat House
7 Item(s)
- From Emily at 2/12/11 5:56 AM
- How high do you need to mount the bat house for mosquito control?
- The bat house should be mounted at least 8 feet high for best results. Bats naturally prefer to roost in higher spots, like roof eves and overhead locations, so higher roosts will work best.
We mount our bat house on a pole behind the garden shed, and the pole is about 10' high.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From eilleen Hocking at 3/13/11 5:33 PM
- how high should the bat box be mounted?
- Bats prefer to nest overhead, often in the eaves of houses and barns, and in tree hollows. The Single Chamber Wooden Bat House will be most effective if you can find a suitable location 8 - 12' high, and if you have a higher location then that's even better. Some people mount these bat houses on poles and set the poles in the ground or secure them against standing features such as fence posts.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Vince at 5/12/11 6:32 PM
- I read that the bat house should face southeast. Does the bat house need to be shaded or sheltered or can it be exposed to the sun and weather?
- The Single Chamber Wooden Bat House can be placed in the open. However, the ideal location is adjacent to a sheltered spot since it makes access easier for the bats.
Our bat house faces west, and before we used the bat house, we had bats living under the eaves of the west face of our home. We also had a few bats living under the southeast facing eaves. So I'm not sure that bats prefer a southeast entrance.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- What type of pole is suggested and where are some places they can be purchased? There's a stagnant pond behind my house with no trees around it and hope to mount the box 15' in the air, so I'm guessing I need a 20' pole with 5' being stuck in the ground.
- You can use either a peeled sapling (cedar is ideal), a piece of dimensional lumber ( 2" x 4" should be sufficient), or use an aluminum pole. The aluminum pole is ideal.
To find a free source for aluminum poles, try going to the local docks and asking around. There may be some old pike poles (boat hooks) which are discarded. These poles lose their hooks or get bent, so fishermen cast them aside. They are easy to straighten.
Whichever choice you use, I think setting the pole 3' in the ground will be sufficient. You could even use a shallower hole if you use cement.

- What about the guana? Does it get pretty dirty below the place you mount it?
- Yes. There will be a small pile developing of little bat poops. They look like mouse droppings.
You could shovel a little dirt over it once in a while. I have a small rail under the bat nest which the droppings land on. I clean it off with a wet cloth about twice a year.

- I live where it gets 110 degrees in the summer, would the nest need shade for this type of weather in the daytime?
- In extremely hot regions, bat houses can be partially shaded by an overhanging tin roof that protects them from the day's hottest sun. If you observe bats constantly occupying the lowest portions of the bat box, it is probably too hot or overcrowded.
In all but the hottest desert areas, a bat house should receive at least six hours of sun, particularly morning sun. It is easier to attract bats in southern areas if two houses are mounted back-to-back on poles, facing north and south, with a 3/4" space between. This way the bats will be able to move back and forth to seek the optimum temperature.

Duck Brand Heavy Traffic Carpet Tape is a high quality, double-sided white tear-resistant cloth tape on a white paper release liner used for permanent carpet hold down and mounting. For indoor use; specifically it is ideal for high traffic areas such as hallways and bedrooms. Since this tape is for permanent installations removal could cause damage to not only the floor but also to the carpet.
Instructions To Apply Indoor Heavy Traffic Double-Sided Carpet Tape:
(1 to 11 rolls)
(12 to 59 rolls)
(60 to 119 rolls)
(>= 120 rolls)
* see individual roll price to left
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
