Caterham duo Giedo van der Garde and Charles Pic are hoping the rain in Brazil helps them nip P10 from Marussia in the teams' standings... Giedo van der Garde: "It's hard to believe we're already at the end of the season, but here we are in Brazil and we have a big weekend ahead of us, for the whole team, our partners and our fans. I have to say it's been a fantastic year, one in which I've learnt so much, more than I could have thought when the first test started back in February, but one in which I've enjoyed every minute - the highs and the lows. I think I'm really lucky that I'm with a team that gave me the chance last year to learn, doing things like FP1 in Brazil in 2012 which will definitely be helpful here, but also throughout the season. When we announced that I'd be driving for Caterham back in January I said I knew I had a lot to learn and I needed some time to find my true pace, but the team helped me do just that and mid-season, that's when it all started to come good. It would obviously be nice to finish on a high now in Brazil and we're all ready to do that, if the chance comes our way. "I'm fully ready for what's ahead this weekend, mentally and physically. I'm feeling good and hopefully it'll be wet / dry, just like it was in Monaco and Spa when we got into Q2, conditions that I really like and that I think you need to be a bit brave to really take advantage of. Since being in Brazil it's rained both days at around race time, so who knows, maybe the luck will finally go our way and we'll have a chance to fight to the flag for the position we're aiming for. If not, then so be it. I'm a positive guy and I know the whole team has worked incredibly hard all year to keep making progress, so if things don't go our way it won't be through lack of effort. All we can do is drive as hard and as fast as possible, and continue to work like we have all year, then we'll see where we are on Sunday night." Charles Pic: "We've reached the end of the season, a year which I've enjoyed and believe I've learnt a lot from, both on and off track. There have been a number of really good moments, Bahrain for example when we brought the new parts and the car was suddenly a big step forwards, that felt really good and was a fair reward for the work everyone had put in. And, every time I've been to the factory, it's been an honour to see how dedicated everyone is to pushing the team forwards. We did a cool event with all the staff after quali in Silverstone and it was great to see so many people at the factory on a Saturday, and to see what it meant to their families to be part of a team that keeps growing in the right direction. Sure there have been some tough moments too, but what I've liked all year has been the spirit right across the whole team. We started in Australia with a car that we knew would be a challenge to compete with teams ahead, but by Bahrain and then Spain, because of the efforts put in by everyone at the factory and on track, we'd overtaken our nearest rivals in pace terms, a position we've held at most of the circuits since then. "So now we're in Brazil and it's the last race of the year. In 2012 I had my highest ever finish in F1 in Brazil, 12th and that was partly down to having a crazy race all around us and that's what we're hoping for again 2013, even though this year it's a fight with the team I was with in 2012! We know we have the pace to be in the right place when the chequered flag falls, and I know that whatever the weather does I'll be ready to fight right to the end. Now it's a bit out of our hands, so we'll do what we've done all year - work as hard as we can and grab any opportunities that arise. It'll be an exciting weekend whatever happens, and one in which there will be quite a lot of attention on us, so I'm excited about what's ahead."

1 pound
sliced bacon, diced
sweet onion, chopped
4 cups
frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups
small curd cottage cheese
1 1/4 cups
shredded Swiss cheese
When I need to feed a crowd this is the recipe I use. It is delicious. There are never any leftovers - even if I make two pans. The guys in my office request it often. YUM!
Mine looked nothing like the picture so maybe something went wrong. It was just a mushy, greasy mess. Not good at all.

This is a really good hearty breakfast casserole. Probably one of the best I've ever had. I increased the bacon since my family loves bacon. I drained it well for several minutes to get as much of the fat out as possible. Other than increasing the bacon some, I didn't change anything and didn't need to. Put leftovers in the fridge and we had for breakfast the next day. It reheats well. Served with some warm soft freshly baked Cresent rolls. Thanks for sharing.
This has been my go-to recipe for a long time (it was originally posted long ago). It is delicious as it stands, but is so adaptable. I generally cut the recipe in half and make it in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan. I have added, in no particular order, minced jalapenos, a can of drained Rotel tomatoes and chilis, green peppers, red peppers, turkey sausage, hot sausage, bacon, and various cheeses (regular or low-fat), depending on what I have on hand. (Please note: I have never added these all at once; this is a list of possible additions you might have on hand. And if you're halving the recipe and are enthusiastic in your additions, use 5 eggs instead of 4.) Also, I use the packaged southwest-style hash browns in place of the plain hash browns. One suggestion: the only thing I found among the cheeses that I couldn't replace is the cottage cheese. It really is essential for creaminess. The one time I made this without, the casserole was brick-like, edible, but not nearly as good as usual. I often make this on a Sunday morning and cut the leftovers in squares and refrigerate or freeze, to be eaten during the week or later. Thank you for this delicious addition to AllRecipes.
My favorite. So delicious and easy! I love that there's no bread in it. Not a swiss cheese fan, but it's delicious in this! YUMMY!
This is really good! For potatoes, I cut red potatoes w/ skin on into small cubes and sauteed til just slightly fork tender, in a small amount of some reserved bacon fat but w/ lid on pan to steam them so I didn't have to use too much grease to cook them. (I make 1 1/2 times recipe so had 6 cups of cube potatoes) Precooked the potatoes, cooked the bacon and onion the day before and then just added the eggs and cheese the day I made it. I also used 2 -10 oz frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and water squeezed out thru colander, then added to the egg mixture. 1 1/2 X the recipe w/ fresh cut potatoes and spinach as above filled an 11 X 14 casserole dish and served 16. 350 X 1 hr or so.
This. Was. Delicious! I made this for Christmas breakfast, and the family raved about it. I prepared it last night following the exact recipe, and set it in the fridge overnight. Baked at 350 for 1 hour this morning. Would make sure the hash browns are fully thawed and DRY before placing in the mix (otherwise could be sloppy or ruined by too much moisture). Also, did have to use paper towels to absorb grease from the top of the dish. Afterward this dish was not greasy looking or tasting. I will make this again and again!
My daughter had this when we were over at their house last christmas. On birthdays at our house you get to choose what you want for your birthday. My husband chose this. I am not crazy about breakfast casseroles, but this one is the best I have ever had.

Video verification in the residential market—it was a topic that surfaced in some of the PPVAR panels I attended at TechSec, though the discussion had been picking up momentum well before that.
It really seemed to pick up last August, when Honeywell Security announced it was joining the membership ranks of PPVAR, a move that some saw as a sign of the "mainstreaming" of video verification.
That seemed to be the gist of Scott Harkins (president of Honeywell Security Products Americas) words in the prepared statement released at the time, in which he said Honeywell recognized that "video verification is an important product category as we look to the future of security."
Harkins, who was a panelist at one of the PPVAR sessions at ISC West, for the most part reiterated that sense of optimism, saying there was indeed potential for video verification in the residential space. He did however add the caveat that, from Honeywell's perspective, bringing the technology into the mainstream had to be done in a way that keeps such systems affordable to a mass residential market.
Keith Jentoft, president at Videofied - RSI Video Technologies and an industry liaison for PPVAR, has given me some leads in recent weeks about a few monitoring companies that are striving to fulfill the vision put forth by Harkins (EMERgency24, based in Des Plaines, Ill., is one of a few he's mentioned).
In the days and weeks ahead, I plan to explore how some of these companies are taking video verification to a broader residential market, zeroing in on the strategies that have worked as well as the challenges.
I'm here at PSA-TEC in Westminster, Colo., where today I had a chance to catch up with Christine Lanning, president of systems integration firm IST.
Christine and her husband Andrew (CEO) founded IST, a PSA Security owner, in 1998. Here's a story I wrote about the company a couple years ago. This year, Christine was honored as one of this year's Women's Security Council 2014 Women of the Year.
IST just finished moving its headquarters to a new facility that they own, (and saving 30 percent owning rather than leasing, thanks mostly to favorable conditions for an SBA loan.)
It was a year-long transition for IST to deal with permits and build out the new headquarters. "That meant we were without a demo or training space [in house] for a year," she said.
Christine said they didn't realize how much they missed having those capabilities in house, for business and training, of course, but also because she's a techy.
I asked Christine why she got interested in technology.
Her interest started early. Technology was something that was promoted and valued in her home as a child, she said. "Our weekend jaunts were to Radio Shack where we'd get circuit boards to solder LED lights to."
In high school Christine was the only girl in an elective electronics class.
Christine has an undergraduate degree in business and a Master's degree in IT. At grad school in Hawaii, she was one of three women out of 50 students in the class.
Christine met Andrew when they were both working at an alarm company in Hawaii. They left that alarm company to start IST. Christine ran the business side, until as the company grew, it became clear that the company techs didn't understand IT—a necessity for IST, which always did systems integration. "In 2004, I took over operations. I still ran administration and accounting, but I was really pushing that IT knowledge to the staff."
She'd sit the staff down for "lunch and learns" regularly. "I'd have discussions with the staff about IT: What does ARP mean? Trace RT? How do you ping a device? We had conversations about how to do things."
And she'd go out in the field and teach techs to mount cameras, program devices in the field, patch systems, configure servers.
Is her teaching style different from a guy tech? Perhaps. She describes her approach as collaborative. She may be the boss, but "what I've found is that people really respond when you talk to them as a peer."
As I've written many times in this space, there's a dearth of women in the security industry, but only a small percentage of the women in security have either a technical role or work closely with technicians and engineers. That may be starting to change however. Women are beginning to be welcomed—even recruited—into those roles, at least among the smartest integrators.
While Christine and I were talking in the lobby of the Westin Westminster, we saw Bethany Taylor, who I learned from Christine, is the director of operations for Dakota Security. She oversees the engineering group at Dakota. And, after the interview I ran into Kirsten Klokis, who works for Northland Control Systems. Kirsten came to Northland out of college and is learning all aspects of the business, including spending time in the field with the technicians.
SIA is actively working to get young people interested in technical entry level jobs in the security industry. It's launching a security degree program at a community college in New Jersey next year. And, SIA, ISC West and the Women's Security Council are creating a scholarship for a woman to attend the college program. Here's that story. Asked where else the industry should look for women who may be interested in security, Christine Lanning suggested women with a military background.
"They have great training, understand structure, and are used to working in a male-dominated environment," she said.
National distribution company ADI's newest branch office in Omaha, Nebraska features a much smaller layout and a new concept. Assuming the "ADI Express" concept works well in Omaha, ADI will be opening up a lot of new branches in secondary markets, Michael Flink, ADI president told me.
The Omaha branch is ADI's 100th branch. "ADI has 99 regular-size branches in 65 major markets," Flink said. Typically, ADI branches are about 8,500 square feet and have six or seven employees. The new ADI Express office is about "half the size, half the number of employees," Flink said.
Every couple of years, ADI does real estate research. Recent findings led the distribution company to explore the idea of a smaller store in smaller markets. "Initially we thought the smaller stores would also have half the inventory as well, " Flink said, but good design enabled ADI to carry "almost as much merchandise [in the smaller ADI branch as in the larger branches]."
"One thing we did not want to do is lose value in the what ADI offers," he said. So, while most of the merchandise is moved behind the counter, the ADI Express still has a small training room, a 7/24 pick up room for dealers and a small show room. "Dealers like to come in and see, feel and touch the products," he said.
In smaller markets a dealer's staff may not get to travel to trade shows, but a local ADI Express showroom is a good place to see a variety of new products and technology, Flink said."It's like bringing a mini version of a trade show into the branches," Flink said. "We carry a lot of products."
ADI currently offers 1,800 training classes. The smaller branches will enable ADI to bring more training to secondary markets. "We can get the manufacturers to come to the smaller markets for training, [because] we can fill up a class if they come."
ADI plans to open up one more ADI Express branch in Q3. It will then take about six months to evaluate and tweak the smaller branch concept. Flink predicts ADI Express "will dramatically increase the number of markets we can open in," he said.
Dealers are invited to attend the grand opening at the Omaha branch tomorrow, May 1. The event will include training events, sales specials, and free giveaways. The ADI Omaha Express Store is at 12112 Centennial Road, Suite 7, in La Vista, Nebraska
ESA just wrapped up its annual Day on Capitol Hill, bringing to the attention of lawmakers several topics of consequence for the security industry, including school security.
The ESA has positioned itself as a partner with Security Industry Association in developing a comprehensive guide to help end users and legislators better understand what electronic security technologies they have at their disposal to bolster school security.
"Most school districts don't know what type of security to install, and many legislators don't understand all the technology that's out there and what exists," said Daniel Gelinas, who attended the event in his capacity as government liaison for Rapid Response Monitoring. ESA's Electronic Security Guidelines for Schools, he said, were designed as an authoritative resource to address that knowledge gap.
The timing of the school security guide is especially good, in light of the latest appropriations act cleared by Congress in January, which contains $75 million in funding for assessing methods to improve school security.
But ESA's activities on the Hill weren't limited just to school security matters. The association and industry members are also pushing for expanding the industry's access to the FBI's background check database, allowing security companies to better vet their employees for prior criminal activity.
Gelinas said the pair of bills addressing this (one in the House, another in the Senate) would not be a mandate. Rather, if enacted, they would allow security companies in the 26 states without the licensing requirement for the database to access it.
The organization was also in the Capitol promoting funding measures that would protect against elderly abuse through expanded use of video surveillance in nursing homes. Gelinas noted that this would not be a mandate for health care facilities, but would instead give concerned families the option to use electronic security systems to ensure that elderly relatives are getting proper medication and care.
The final area of focus for ESA was getting Congress to back a balanced approach for smoke alarms and other early fire detection systems, putting them on "the same footing as sprinklers" when it comes to receiving tax incentives and government grants, Gelinas said. That would involve amending the Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act to include life safety, fire and smoke alarms.
I plan to give more space to this final issue, and some of the aforementioned ones, in an upcoming legislative roundup.
I've written here before about former NFL star Aaron Hernandez, who is charged with killing his friend Odin Lloyd, apparently failing to realize his home security camera was recording him with a gun both hours before—and minutes after—Lloyd was shot to death last summer. Now a home security system could be a key piece of evidence in the murder case against another sports star, the "Blade Runner."
The security system in the home of Oscar Pistorius, the South African double-amputee track star accused of murdering his girlfriend, came under scrutiny in his trial in Pretoria, South Africa in early April, news reports say.
Pistorius, 27, known as the "Blade Runner" for the high-tech artificial legs he uses, was being grilled by prosecutor Gerrie Nel when, according to Alliance News, "Nel went into details about whether the alarm system at Pistorius' home was in order and whether he had turned it off."
"A functioning alarm would contribute to discrediting Pistorius' claim he mistook his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp for a burglar when he shot her dead through the bathroom door in February last year," Alliance News said. "Pistorius said several times he was unable to remember all the details and complained he was tired."
The Globe and Mail newspaper reported that Pistorius "acknowledged that he must have deactivated the house's alarm system when he carried the injured Ms. Steenkamp down his stairs after the shooting, although he said he doesn't remember it."
And the Globe and Mail reported: "Nel said the alarm system was functioning and should have alerted him to any intruder. Mr. Pistorius said his external motion-detectors were sometimes removed when the house was painted, and ladders were sometimes left in the garden that could have been used to enter his bathroom window, but he admitted that he hadn't checked on either on the day before the shooting."
Pistorius, who lost his legs below the knee because of a congenital abnormality, was the first double-leg amputee to compete against able-bodied athletes in the 2012 London Olympics.
His trial began in March and is expected to continue into May.
Greater visibility, broader market acceptance and (for some central stations) more wholesale monitoring accounts are just some of the benefits often mentioned in connection with the entrance of cablecos and telecoms into security.
A recent Wholesale Monitoring study by the Barnes Associates (co-sponsored by the CSAA and SSN) largely attributed the 19 percent growth the segment enjoyed in 2013 to the influence of the new entrants. To be sure, there seems to be a prevailing belief that the rangy, big-money advertising campaigns of such companies can be the proverbial "rising tide that lifts all boats."
That's not to say there's no ambivalence. That was apparent enough in a recent SSN News Poll that dealt with the topic. A number of readers expressed concern about the long-term viability of smaller players in the home security space, given the influx of these major corporations who have already made inroads into the home through Internet and cable, and thus have that previously established "stickiness."
That ambivalence was also reflected in a recent analysis by Rajiv Bhatia on Seeking Alpha, a crowdsourced platform for investment-based ideas, who discussed what the new market players could mean for Ascent Capital, the holding company of Monitronics. Bhatia acknowledged that the company faces "increased competition" from the large new cableco/telecom entrants, which he says are gaining traction despite unsuccessful forays into the market in the past.
Regarding Monitronics' business model, Bhatia offered a mixture of encouraging and somewhat cautionary words:
"While management and sell-side analysts believe that Ascent is better insulated from competition via its dealer-only business model, Ascent faces upward pressure on the multiple it pays for its dealer contracts from competitors. Additionally, its growth through its internal channels is weakening."
Those multiples, he noted earlier, are based on an RMR multiple of 50. Ascent faces "upward pressure on the multiple it pays to acquire contracts," he said.
With more than 1 million subscribers, Monitronics trails only ADT in terms of marketshare in the alarm monitoring space. It will be interesting to watch what happens to the market presence of both companies as the cableco/telecom ads continue to appear on our television screens.
ISS is growing, expanding and rebranding
Integrated Security Systems of Miami is getting ready to add 10,000 square feet of space to its headquarters here.
"We're growing into new territories, but our back office and design center [work] is all done here," Jeff Nunberg, ISS CEO said.
"We're finalizing plans with the architect now," Nunberg said. "In ten months we should have the new space."
In business since 1962, ISS is a PSA Security owner, that does CCTV, fire, access, and life safety and mass notification systems. It specializes in design-build projects and has in-house engineering, consultation, AutoCAD, construction and service departments.
ISS has two branch offices and employees "stationed throughout Florida and the Carolinas," he said. ISS has more than 70 employees; its revenues exceed $20 million,
The company is also getting a new look. ISS has a new logo that was designed by a student.
Nunberg said he'd spent two years and "tens of thousands of dollars" hiring professional ad agencies to design a logo for his business, but he was not happy with any of the designs.
"I wanted something that hit me emotionally," he said. "Something iconic, so when you see it, you know it's us."
Last November, Nunberg spoke to fashion students at a Florida art college about running a business, as a favor to his cousin who works at the college. "While I was there I asked if they had a graphic art department and she said yes."
Nunberg ended up sponsoring a logo contest. Tiffany Campos, the student-designer of the winning logo received a $1,600 scholarship, and ISS finally got a logo that Nunberg is excited about.
The logo will figure prominently at ISS's expanded office, on its new Web site, its 60 vehicles, all of its literature and lapel pins and "other trinkets we give out," he said.
It's a big project and it's "reinvigorating employees," he said. "Change is good."
"At the end of the day, we're a service company and it's hard to copy our model, what we deliver," he said. However, he believes the logo will "help my business stand out even more," Nunberg said.
Alarm Relay, a UL-listed alarm monitoring company based in San Diego, became the latest central station to earn Five Diamond Certification from the Central Station Alarm Association, the company recently announced. Fewer than 200 central stations in the country have the certification.
Among the most rigorous requirements for completing the Five Diamond program include the commitment to random inspections by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as FM Global, Underwriters' Laboratories or InterTek/ETL, and central stations must also comply with quality criteria standards developed by those same organizations.
Five Diamond Certification also testifies that 100 percent of central station operators at a given company have been certified through the CSAA online training course, which covers all phases of central station communications with law enforcement, customers, and fire and emergency centers.
For an operator to achieve certification, they must demonstrate (among other things) proficiency in alarm verification, which helps reduce false dispatches, and in communications with Public Safety Answering Points.
That latter requirement is bound to be vitally important as central stations around the country forge more partnerships with PSAPs, allowing the ASAP to PSAP program to expand.
I wrote recently about Barry Bruce becoming Guardian Protection Services' new senior VP of corporate sales. Bruce formerly was VP of national sales for Devcon Security, the residential security company that ADT acquired last summer.
Now Warrendale, Pa.-based Guardian has hired another former Devcon VP, Guardian announced today.
Michael Brand, who was VP of sales at Devcon, joined Guardian on April 3 to become director of Guardian's southern region, assuming responsibility for all sales and operations, the company said. The region includes branches in Austin, San Antonio, Tampa, Charlotte and Philadelphia.
Brand was hired by Devcon in 2010 and then worked for ADT after it bought that company. "During his tenure," Guardian said in a news release, "Mr. Brand held the positions of area manager, regional director and vice president of sales, including responsibilities for sales and field operations for the residential, commercial and HOA (home owners association) business segments."
Before he joined Devcon, Brand worked for Brink's, where he was general manager for that company's Deerfield, Fla. branch, the news release said.
His previous experience includes leading New Jersey and Massachusetts branches of Enterprise Rent-a-Car, and being a sales training coach with AT&T's broadband division, according to the news release. It said Brand has a B.A. in communication from Hofstra University.
In a prepared statement, Bruce praised his new (and former) colleague: "I have worked with Mike Brand in the past and have great confidence in his capabilities. I have no doubt he will help us achieve new levels of success in our southern region."
This is an old-fashioned industry in too many ways, so I'm always thrilled when I hear news like this: the Security Industry Association, ISC and the Women's Security Council will be awarding a full scholarship for a woman student enrolled in the new Mercer County Community College security degree program in 2015.
"This scholarship program is made possible with financial support from SIA and ISC and we are incredibly honored by their support and generosity," Rhianna Daniels, founding committee member of the WSC, told me. "The overall goal of the program is to increase diversity in the industry and allow more women to gain access to the great opportunities available in today's security market."
The scholarship was announced at the Women's Security Council reception at ISC West by Ed Several of Reed Exhibitions, which produces ISC events, and Don Erickson, CEO of SIA.
"The lack of women in the security industry is not a new problem, but in this role [CEO of SIA] I really believe it's something we need to draw more attention to. This is a small example of how we're doing this," Erickson said.
The Mercer County Community College security degree program will be launched in the fall of 2015. It is a two-year program that will award degrees in: project management; security integration; product technology and security sales.
A SIA committee came up with the idea for the program last summer. Key participants on that committee are Dave Lyons of System Sensor, Pierre Trapanese of Northland Control Systems and Frank De Fina of Samsung.
De Fina said the industry continues to struggle to find qualified candidates, even though jobs in this industry pay well and offer advancement opportunity.
In addition, De Fina said there's a "tremendous lack of diversity in the security industry" and said one of the reason organizers chose Mercer County Community College for this program is because it "draws a higher-than-normal percentage of African Americans, Hispanics and women," De Fina said.
SIA has signed a memorandum of understanding with Mercer and is in the process of recruiting industry professionals to teach courses at Mercer.
De Fina pointed out that high grades in the associates degree program at Mercer can lead to a bachelor's degree. "If you go through the program with a 3.5 GPA or better, you're assured spot in a four-year program at Rutgers [University]," De Fina said.
Both the scholarship and the degree program are smart moves for the security industry. Congratulations to SIA, ISC and the WSC.

One of Formula 1's leading personalities, Professor Sid Watkins, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 84. The former F1 medical chief spent 26 years transforming safety standards in F1 and was highly respected by teams, drivers and fans alike. The neurosurgeon's influence to improve medical facilities in Formula 1 dramatically cut the number of deaths and serious injuries to Formula 1 drivers. As the on-track surgeon, he was also responsible for saving the lives of Didier Pironi, Rubens Barrichello and Mika Hakkinen.
The Australian Grand Prix Corporation would like to pay tribute to Professor Sid Watkins and our condolences are with his family.

I saw one of those infomocerials yesterday and they were trying to sell Allumalloy, an aluminun "welding" rod that you can use a propane torch to do the work.
Anyone ever try this stuff?

I have some from HTS ( I think thats who makes it?) , it works with propane on very thin stuff,mapp works better and oxy/acct for thicker material. If your welding aluminum cans I swear by it, but the need for custom mountain dew tall boys around here is thin. I did give a rod to a local auto guy and he managed to repair a ear on a water pump housing with it. I can say it works but as far as how much you will use it depends on if you have a tig welder or not, if you do you probably wont use the stuff much. Plus it is a bit $$$ ! The thing that I liked was that you could plug a hole with it on really thin stuff, thought it would be great for aluminum boats.

Its been around and sold by one company or another for several years that I know of. I first saw it back in the 80's.
Nobody hardly uses it though. I think it works sort of like soldering together a Copper water pipe & fitting does instead of a true weld since the parent material and the filler never melts and 'flows together' the way it does in a weld.
If that's how it works, it can never bond the pieces together the way welding does, and you wouldn't have as strong of a joint if the parent material is harder or more flexible than the filler material.
I can see a market for it, and lots of uses in low pressure/low stress type applications-- Alum. hull boat leaks is one, but for some reason, the stuff never really got popular. I'd guess that for what most people would do with it, JB Weld or some sort of Epoxy compound will work just as well."Gone are the days of wooden ships, and Iron men.
I doubt we'll see either of their likes again".

I found a box of flux cored 1/8" aluminum filler rods for gas welding at work. I had never thought of gas welding aluminum until recently when MIG and TIG weren't available. I tried using the flux cored rods and they worked pretty good. I fixed two cast air intake pipes, about 1/4" thick through the cross section, and the repair worked quite well. I dont know what brand of rods these are, but they definately melt into the base metal and leave a color matched finish. I also used these rods for repairing a broken cast brake drum dust cover from an ATV. They didn't work as well for the cover, but it's holding still, after a few months of rigorous use. I still prefere TIG, but the gas rods seem to work well in a pinch.

Harbor Freight sells it.
I have bought some at Harbor freight. HB sells it in a tube with about 8 or ten sticks for about $10.00.
I just wanted to check it out. Like every one has said it's fine for thin stuff but very pricey.
This is my first post but a long time reader.

Hello David and good to see you posting.
I would also agree that its more of a bonding agent verses welding.
I have never used it but have seen it used at shows, I would think it would be great for a hole in an aluminum row boat.
They used to use it at the swap meets showing how you can weld pop cans along with repairing Ford escort heads back in the 80s.
I have a sneaking suspition that it wouldnt be good for aluminum heads.

If the filler melts below 840F, and joins metal through bonding by capillary action, then it is soldering. If it melted above 840F, but below the melting point of the object being joined, then it would be called brazing. This stuff is solder.

Comments On Jun 16, 2015:1st fender broke in half over the winter when the bike leaned against another in the garage, I had thought it was just because of the cold, then the second fender I got snapped and cracked after leaning it against a tree with hardly any force at all! these fenders for the 2007-2012 ktm's snap easy. now I have a acerbis it has extra bracing on the underside of the fender and doesn't flop around as much. Other than being fragile, the color, fit and finish are great.

Comments On Mar 29, 2015:My factory plastics were originally made by Polisport so the fit and finish was just as good as factory. I went with white vs the orange that came on the bike that year just to make my KTM slightly different than the rest of the sea of orange. I like Polisport plastics and will continue to use.

Comments On Feb 18, 2015:There is a huge (nickel size) white sprue mark right in front of the number plate!!!! This is caused by an oversight in tooling, and is ground down flush but leaves a huge scar right in the top of the fender. DO NOT BUY FOR A CRF450!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments On Jan 27, 2015:It fit but only after I drilled larger holes. The Acerbis fender has a brighter color and shine for the KDX200 and it fits without drilling holes.

Comments On Jan 21, 2015:I have this front fender on a KDX with KX front froks. I like the style and it works well. The fender does not bend very well when it's cold and will break. That's probably true for any front fender in freezing temps though.

Comments On Jan 06, 2015:Fender looks GREAT overall at first sight! However, before even mounting onto the bike, I noticed that there is a HUGE WHITE SPRUE MARK (3/4" diameter) from the casting which is visible right in front of the number plate. This is not acceptable, and is a huge oversight in tooling this fender for my bike (crf450)

I just LOVE this book!!!! Dr Davis is a Saint ! A Saviour !!! I read the book last August and started Sept. I lost 10 kg before Christmas without any effort at all... and this in itself was amazing as I had no hunger, and at not stage felt deprived AND I did not increase exercise and in fact decreased it... I had ONE meal with sugar over Christmas and felt instantly ill again and it took a week for the fatigue to wear off.
I am definately a Wheat Bellyer ! As the book explains - stopping wheat ( as it is so unhealthy ) and eating substitute gluten-free carbs like rice flour , tapioca flour and potato starch is then WORSE. Sky high triglycerides etc, artrial plaque, inflammation markers for Diabetes, Heart Disease, RA, etc etc all increase. The gluten-free commercial food diet is very unhealthy..
Someone asked why a cardiologist is writing a book about food. Well - he put his patients on this diet for them to reduce their heart attack risks. It reduces Hb1AC, Blood Glucose, Tricylerides and the nasty small LDL particles... Along the way he discovered that people would bounce into his next appt - feeling the best they had felt in 20 years, off NSAIDs, off statins, off BP meds etc etc and ..... 20, 50, 100 pounds lighter without even trying ! He knew he had to get the message out to the world.
Wheat free if for everyone. Grain free. Low sugar. Only exception is young growing children who can need a slightly higher carb count for the day. But not wheat Wheat is worse than a bowl of jelly beans. Commercial gluten-free carbs are worse than a bowl of jelly beans. People have to stop living on jelly beans !
I now have lost 15 kg ( 33 pounds ) feel and look 10 years younger and have people stopping and asking me what I have done. The traditional gluten-free diet was killing me. We now eat like Kings , save money at the Store and will be a normal weight again ! I am already down 3 sizes. My stubborn hard to shift for last 5 years weight has just melted off. Hubbie started before me and has lost 80 pounds total and is at goal weight. I have Thyroid issues and have had to change thyroid meds again and I am on cortisone but none the less... the weight keeps coming off, my skin and hair are glowing and I feel so energised ! I nearly had total knee replacement 2 years ago and spent 4 months on crutches... now I have barely any pain!!
Georgie....most people with cardiac issues were put on the Atkins Diet years and years ago and did well because many people with cardiac problems are overweight so cutting out the carbs will make you lose weight. Simple enough logic.
Cut out the simple sugars and eat healthier and you'll be healthier. They also used that diet for quick weight loss to prepare them for surgery. As the gluten-free diet resembles the Atkins diet in many ways, people now think the gluten-free diet is a weight loss diet...and it can be when you cut out the crappy food. Anyone will lose weight if they cut out the crap food.
I do not think everyone has to cut out eating wheat...that's a very generalized statement to make. Not everyone has a wheat problem. I also don't think you need to completely cut out gluten-free goodies. These are supposed to be a treat and not to be eaten on a regular basis. Moderation is the key but people have forgotten what that means. If you feel better eating no grains or sugar, that's fantastic but that might indicate you have a blood sugar problem to begin with.
I follow a strict gluten-free diet, which includes some treats and the sugar does not bother me in the least as I exercise to work it off. There is a balance and that balance is going to be different for many people.
I think any doctor who makes the statement that Celiac is not a disease is far from a saint. That's plain ignorance on his part. I wouldn't spend the money on his book because there are far more reputable people who write accurate books on Celiac.

Discover how a small team at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is making huge strides in stereoscopic 3D gaming.
Fighter jets and a magic dragon have both played their parts in the development of stereoscopic 3D games on PlayStation 3. They are two contrasting details that neatly bookend the story so far for senior development manager Simon Benson and senior engineer Ian Bickerstaff, the men defining the 3D vision of PlayStation from their office in Runcorn, north-west England.
Flight simulators proved an ideal testing ground for the two programmers as they honed their understanding of 3D technology. Swapping wings for wheels, both Simon and Ian then became involved with simulation work for a leading Formula One team, where they helped to immerse drivers in Grand Prix scenarios.
Yet it was at MotorStorm developer Evolution Studios that their 3D skills would bloom. "Rather sneakily, I had a go at doing a stereoscopic 3D version of MotorStorm Pacific Rift," Ian confides. "We'd done a driving simulator previously which we took to the 2006 AutoSport Show in the UK to gauge whether people would be interested in a 3D racing game. The answer was yes, resoundingly."
Grand designs
Teiyu Goto, the Sony designer behind PS3 and its wireless controllers, thought the work would be the perfect spearhead for the company's pursuit of the 3D goal. "The next thing we know, we're set up as a 3D team," Ian remembers.
"We're gatekeepers as well as cheerleaders," adds Simon. "We try to encourage a situation where 3D sits very well within a game, where development teams are maximising content possibilities.
"You have to ask, 'What benefit does this have?' You've got to give people a reason to want to put on the 3D glasses. If it's just a visual novelty, it'll wear off and that sends the wrong message about stereoscopic 3D. After all, effectively we're all looking at each other in stereoscopic 3D, and we're not going, 'Wow! You're in 3D!'"
So how will studios make the most of the technology in the future? There's the instant wow factor of seeing a screen spring into life, and subtler aspects will form new foundations of the games you'll play. "The bottom line is that because gaming's interactive, giving you visual cues to react to, it's that interaction which grips you," Simon continues.
"Say you're turning left in a stereoscopic 3D racing game. Your whole vision system will accept that what you are seeing is correct. It'll be as if you're looking through the windscreen with your own two eyes to a set of real visual markers. And when it comes to leaping over a hole, you'll instantly understand how deep, big and far away it is because you'll have depth perception."
Tumble higher
Play Tumble on PS3 via a stereoscopic 3D TV and you'll see what Simon means. The co-ordination and accurate information you need to pile blocks on top of one another is provided in a very simple, accessible way. "It's in line with what you expect from your own eyes." Shut one eye and stacking simple objects suddenly becomes very tricky.
"As people start understanding the benefits of 3D, some of the prompts that gamers are used to will be switched off, I think," says Simon. "Imagine being on the putting green in Everybody's Golf. A special grid shows you the lie of the land. In stereoscopic 3D you'd be able to see that naturally, and yet you can imagine the effort that goes into making that grid work for people."
As well as drawing you deeper into game worlds, stereoscopic 3D advances could help traditional 2D titles. "You're going to see very different types of experiences as 3D and 2D games diverge," Ian forecasts. "Don't forget as well that there are things that work a lot better in 2D than in 3D due to the limitations of any given display. Sometimes it's better to work within that framework and come up with something absolutely stunning."
Ian believes there's still incredible potential to be exploited, which could yet see augmented reality blur the boundaries between what exists inside and beyond your TV. "How exciting would it be if the edge of the screen was actually part of the game somehow? A collision object, something that the monster grabs hold of to get at you?"
Frontier spirit
The sense of breaking new ground is clear. Despite the likes of Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception shining in stereoscopic 3D along with WipEout HD – "looking great in 3D five years after PS3 launched" – there's still much to learn. Ian thinks the possibilities are still being grasped. "The fact remains that no one has really done this before, and the knowledge we're forming now will help the games of the future.
"We even work with university psychology teams to find out all sorts of interesting things about why we react the way we do to circumstance. We can then pass that on to the development teams."
And the magic dragon? That came via an award Ian received for his presentation at an international conference – one of many specialist events the team are invited to – from Lenny Lipton, often regarded as the father of modern 3D technology and co-writer of the folk song Puff, the Magic Dragon. "It's great to be at that point where you can innovate," he reflects.
Simon agrees. "We'll see the creativity behind games which use 3D features evolve incredibly quickly. This slope of learning will continue ever upward, helping each new 3D game to be even better than the last. There's no doubt that we are on an amazing journey of discovery that will present us with new experiences and eventually lead to the ultimate 3D game – something that we can't even comprehend currently."
The team at Runcorn are certainly going to have fun discovering the possibilities, Ian thinks. "The technology is still a blank canvas. We can make it anything we want it to be."
PlayStation is adding dashes of colour to that canvas all the time, with more than 80 games available to play in stereoscopic 3D already. To stay abreast of the latest developments in stereoscopic 3D games, keep an eye on eu.playstation.com, head over to PlayStation.Blog at blog.eu.playstation.com and check out the section dedicated to 3D content on PlayStation Store.

good luck with that
a vitally important recap of all the dumb tweets sent during the Harbaugh coaching search
logistical informations
"Rodrick Williams Jr.'s 10-month old, 2-foot-long savannah monitor named "Kill" gets the RB some strange looks when they go for walks together."
you're not an employee, you can just be fined
don't we all
Harbaugh has moved him from first base to tight end
the picture that leads this story is amaaaazing
"The amount of professionalism that he has ... there's probably not another guy in the country that would have handled it the same way," Durkin said. "He's not only one of the best coaches in the country, he's one of the best people. He absolutely has the respect of everyone -- coaches and players, alike."
the internet has done all right by me
if they had played football in 2014 might have gone the other way

i have an air cooled syncrowave 200 that i bought new in 2006. cant find the owners manual and cant find what i need in the online manuals.
i barely use it, but lately use it about every other week for home projects.
today i tried welding steel and it turned on, had gas flow when i hit the pedal, but would not strike an arc. i couldnt hear the points spark either. tried it on ac for aluminum, and the same thing, nothing. i pressed one of the buttons on the front panel and it showed HELP -12.
tried movig the ground, turn the unit on and off and on again, unplugged it and repluged it back in, finally getting it to strike and arc and weld. BUT when i press the button it still says HELP -12, even though it now works.
what is going on ? what is a HELP -12 code ?
should i look at the points and see if they are corroded or something else ?
i cant believe i have mis[laced the owners manual...
thanks for any help guys.

You really must get a manual. They are on this site at the top. You will need the serial number of your machine. It is located on the back of the machine along with the Model Number.

Interpretive Handbook
62599 :
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Detection with Genotyping, High-Risk Types by PCR, SurePath
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the principal cause of cervical cancer and its precursor cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).(1-3) The presence of HPV has been implicated in >99% of cervical cancers worldwide. HPV is a small, non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus, with a genome of approximately 8,000 nucleotides. There are more than 118 different types of HPV and approximately 40 different HPVs that can infect the human anogenital mucosa. However, data suggest that 14 of these types (HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68) are considered high-risk (HR) for the development of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. Furthermore, HPV types 16 and 18 have been regarded as the genotypes most closely associated with progression to cervical cancer. HPV-16 is the most carcinogenic, and is associated with approximately 60% of all cervical cancers, while HPV-18 accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of cervical cancers.(1-3)
Although persistent infection with HR HPV is necessary for the development of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions, only a very small percentage of infections progress to these disease states. Sexually transmitted infection with HPV is extremely common, with estimates of up to 75% of all women being exposed to HPV at some point. However, almost all infected women will mount an effective immune response and clear the infection within 2 years without any long term health consequences. An infection with any HPV type can produce CIN although this also usually resolves once the HPV infection has been cleared.
In developed countries with cervical cancer screening programs, the Pap smear has been used since the mid-1950s as the primary tool to detect early precursors to cervical cancer. Although it has decreased the death rates due to cervical cancer dramatically in those countries, the Pap smear and subsequent liquid based cytology methods require subjective interpretation by highly trained cytopathologists and misinterpretation can occur. Cytological abnormalities are primarily due to infection with HPV; however, various inflammatory conditions or sampling variations can result in false positive cytology results. Triage of an abnormal cytology result may involve repeat testing, colposcopy and/or biopsy. A histologically confirmed high-grade lesion must be surgically removed or ablated in order to prevent the development of invasive cervical cancer.
Nucleic acid (DNA) testing by PCR has become a standard, noninvasive method for determining the presence of a cervical HPV infection. Proper implementation of nucleic acid testing for HPV may 1) increase the sensitivity of cervical cancer screening programs by detecting high-risk lesions earlier in women 30 years and older with normal cytology and 2) reduce the need for unnecessary colposcopy and treatment in patients 21 and older with cytology results showing atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US).
Recently, data suggest that individual genotyping for HPV types 16 and 18 can assist in determining appropriate follow-up testing and triaging women at risk for progression to cervical cancer. Studies have shown that the absolute risk of CIN-2 or worse in HPV-16 and/or HPV-18 positive women is 11.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 8.4%-14.8%) compared with 6.1% (95% CI, 4.9%-7.2%) of women positive for 'other' HR-HPV genotypes and 0.8% (95% CI, 0.3%-1.5%) in HR-HPV negative women.(4) Based in part on these data, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) now recommends that HPV 16/18 genotyping be performed on women that are positive for HR-HPV but negative by routine cytology. Women that are found to be positive for HPV-16 and/or -18 may be referred to colposcopy, while women that are negative for genotypes 16 and/or 18 may have repeat cytology and HR HPV testing in 12 months.(1)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detection of high-risk (HR) genotypes associated with the development of cervical cancer
An aid in triaging women with abnormal Pap smear results
Individual genotyping of human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and/or HPV-18, if present
Results of HPV-16 and HPV-18 genotyping can be used as an aid in triaging women with positive HR-HPV but negative Pap smear results.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result indicates the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA due to 1 or more of the following genotypes: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68.
A negative result indicates the absence of HPV DNA of the targeted genotypes.
For patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) Pap smear result and who are positive for high-risk (HR) HPV, consider referral for colposcopy, if clinically indicated.
For women aged 30 years and older with a negative Pap smear result but who are positive for HPV-16 and/or HPV-18, consider referral for colposcopy, if clinically indicated.
For women aged 30 years and older with a negative Pap smear, positive HR HPV test result, but who are negative for HPV-16 and HPV-18, consider repeat testing by both cytology and a HR HPV test in 12 months.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The cobas human papillomavirus (HPV) test is FDA-approved for cervical/endocervical samples collected in PreservCyt (ThinPrep) media. Other sample types (eg, vaginal) collected in media, such as SurePath, are not considered FDA-approved sources; however, verification studies have been completed in compliance with CLIA-regulations by Mayo Medical Laboratories.
Prolonged storage (>14 days) of clinical samples in SurePath media may impact the detection of high-risk (HR) HPV, especially if the amount of nucleic acid present in the sample is initially at a low concentration. Therefore, samples should be submitted for testing as soon as possible following collection.
The cobas HPV test detects DNA of the high-risk types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68. This test does not detect DNA of HPV low-risk types (eg, 6, 11, 42, 43, 44) since these are not associated with cervical cancer and its precursor lesions.
The cobas HPV test is not recommended for evaluation of suspected sexual abuse.
Prevalence of HPV infection in a population may affect performance. Positive predictive values decrease when testing populations with low prevalence or individuals with no risk of infection.
Infection with HPV is not an indicator of cytologic high grade intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) or underlying high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), nor does it imply that CIN2-3 or cancer will develop. Most women infected with 1 or more HR HPV types do not develop CIN2-3 or cancer.
A negative HR HPV result does not exclude the possibility of future cytologic HSIL or underlying CIN2-3 or cancer.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Negative for HPV genotypes 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68

With iOS 5 and iCloud i was hoping that games would get synced across devices. If I'm playing a game on my iPad and then later pick up the same game on my iPhone, then i would like to be able to start right where i left off on my other device. Are there any games that currently do this? Or is this even currently possible?

Starbase Orion was one of the first ones out that synced all local games through iCloud. There are of course many, many others, so the answer is Yes - this exist by design and developers can make use of it as long as their data fits within the storage requirements of iCloud.
Pocket Planes does this very well, and Doodle Jump does, but that's mostly for scores and settings, not the game itself.
Scribblenaughts Remix does this, I have played on iPad where I left off on iPhone

I've got a little app I have been working on over the course of November, how do I go about entering into the contest.. I've seen other apps that do some of the same things, but have some limitations that I think I have addressed. It mainly adds some functionality to the windows common file dialog, like favorites, history, and custom file filters. I found other solutions didn't get the file filtering quite right so I wrote my own.. Small app, coded in C++, portable, so it runs on a usb thumb drive.. Comments and suggestions welcomed..
Anyone interested can have a look here:
Anyone having a problem launching the app should download the Visuall C++ SP1 runtime from the same download page..
