The absolute best gas save is your right foot, it's the only method that will actually save you money without cost you some first!
PS: I have a bed cover on my current truck and I have had them on previous trucks and they DO NOT help mpg's in any way, that's BS! It does do a great job keeping things nice and dry!
I agree completely. The money spent compared to how long it takes to finally start saving money, isn't realized. The right foot plays the biggest part in fuel savings. In my experience a tuner on performance setting with 91-93 octane will give me a 2-3 mpg gain overall. i didn't buy the tuners for mpg, but for power. The extra mileage was just a plus.
Also I never saw an increase with cai's usually a slight decrease.
And one more thing to consider is a new torque converter. I have heard but don't have experience, is that a performance converter will improve mpg's

Check out this crazy internal baffle structure of this cool Fostex FE206En Back-Loaded Horn Loudspeaker.
"The back-loaded or rear-loaded horn loudspeaker system is like bass-reflex and double bass-reflex speaker types in that the sound radiated from the back of speaker transducer is utilized to enhance the bass response. The difference however is that back-loaded horn (BLH) speaker enclosures make among the most efficient use of the back wave from the speaker driver. The back-loaded horn speaker enclosure operates by developing the bass response using the back wave from the speaker driver and an expanding horn section. The remainder of sound spectrum (mid and high-frequency ranges) is radiated directly from the front wave produced by the speaker driver. Back-loaded horn speaker enclosures are generally amongst the most efficient enclosure systems and respond well to the subtlest components of music signals. For "tighter" sound reproduction, you can reduce the interior volume of the horn speaker cabinet using fill material. Sound absorbing material should be used directly behind the driver and also at the mouth of the horn to smooth out the frequency response."
Murata is always pushing the envelope when it comes to demonstrating their technology in action. You probably remember the close up look we got of the technology behind Murata Girl and Murata Boy. This time they have made an entire group of robotic cheerleaders who dance in formation. They sit on top of a ball and balance as they are moving around. We have seen balancing ball robots before but the complexity of moving all of these balancing robots in unison must be quite challenging.
You need to see them in action. Click here to see the video, scroll down to see how the technology comes together.
Thanks to Amy from Murata for the info.
The MIT Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory has been working hard on the MIT Cheetah Robot. Deborah Ajilo, Negin Abdolrahim Poorheravi,John Patrick Mayo,Justin Cheung, Sangbae Kim, Shinsuk Park, Kathryn L. Evans, Matt Angle, Will Bosworth, Joao Luiz Almeida Souza Ramos, Sehyuk Yim, Albert Wang, Meng Yee Chuah, and Hae Won Park are members of the huge development team. Why so many team members? This is not a simply problem to tackle, as you read through their post you will see that there were a number of challenges that they needed to overcome in the development of the system.
Via: Evan Ackerman at IEEE Spectrum
"Now MIT researchers have developed an algorithm for bounding that they've successfully implemented in a robotic cheetah — a sleek, four-legged assemblage of gears, batteries, and electric motors that weighs about as much as its feline counterpart. The team recently took the robot for a test run on MIT's Killian Court, where it bounded across the grass at a steady clip.
In experiments on an indoor track, the robot sprinted up to 10 mph, even continuing to run after clearing a hurdle. The MIT researchers estimate that the current version of the robot may eventually reach speeds of up to 30 mph.
The key to the bounding algorithm is in programming each of the robot's legs to exert a certain amount of force in the split second during which it hits the ground, in order to maintain a given speed: In general, the faster the desired speed, the more force must be applied to propel the robot forward. Sangbae Kim, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, hypothesizes that this force-control approach to robotic running is similar, in principle, to the way world-class sprinters race."
Our friend Dave from the EEVBlog took apart this Vintage Precision Power Supply. With a quick look at the front panel you might think this is something that you would have got from Radio Shack 40 or 50 years ago for your hobby kit but this is a 0.001% precision power supply! It was designed by Power Designs Inc of New York back in 1964. When you see the internals you will see lots of point to point wiring which was popular back in the day, these days you only generally see point to point components bodged onto cheap Chinese equipment. The condition of the internals is very clean considering the age of the device! Unfortunately a simple adjustment of the trim pots wasn't enough to calibrate it. I am assuming that some of the crusty old caps are desperately needing replacement.
We use OSB (oriented strand board) for many building projects these days as plywood is getting more expensive. The process of how it is made is quite interesting.
"Oriented strand board is manufactured in wide mats from cross-oriented layers of thin, rectangular wooden strips compressed and bonded together with wax and synthetic resin adhesives (95% wood, 5% wax and resin). The layers are created by shredding the wood into strips, which are sifted and then oriented on a belt or wire cauls. The mat is made in a forming line. Wood strips on the external layers are aligned to the panel's strength axis, while internal layers are perpendicular. The number of layers placed is determined partly by the thickness of the panel but is limited by the equipment installed at the manufacturing site. Individual layers can also vary in thickness to give different finished panel thicknesses (typically, a 15 cm layer will produce a 15 mm panel thickness). The mat is placed in a thermal press to compress the flakes and bond them by heat activation and curing of the resin that has been coated on the flakes. Individual panels are then cut from the mats into finished sizes."
Aircraft hangers are usually very large simple buildings that house millions of dollars worth of airplanes. A small fire can quickly damage the contents of the building. Fuel storage containers are pretty scary when they burn out of control. The key is to have a fast reaction to fire and hit it with an effective suppression material. These videos are interesting due to the large scale. I think they could rent out some of these hangers out as after hours foam rave clubs.
If you hate when you don't have a partner to play ping pong with you why not build a robot. Ulf Hoffmann is an industrial mechanic and has some creative ideas. His Ping Pong Robot (translated) is quite amazing, you can see it in action above. The videos below demonstrate the building blocks to get to where the robot is today.

- sponsoring meetings to address issues of special concerns to professional women in our sciences, and
- fostering the informal exchange of information and contacts in support of professional activities of women.
Women in Science Events at the 2015 Annual Meetings
Women in Science Breakfast:
This year, the Women in Science breakfast is being organized by the Women in Entomology Network and the Women in Agronomy, Crops, Soils, & Environmental Sciences Committee. It continues the tradition of holding the breakfast at the ESA Annual Meeting. It is a great opportunity for attendees to meet and talk with other women at all points in their careers, as well as with leadership of the societies. The emphasis is on networking and encouraging more women to enter and stay in the science, and both women and men are encouraged to attend. Birds-of-a-feather tables will have topics relating to prospective careers, employers (academia, industry, government, etc.), becoming involved in a professional society, and family/career issues. The breakfast will be a la carte this year, with a limited menu of breakfast sandwiches, beverages, fruit, and/or muffins for purchase. The meeting is being held on Monday, November 16th, 2015 from 6:15am to 8:00am. The breakfast will be a la carte this year, with a limited menu of breakfast sandwiches, beverages, fruit, and/or muffins for purchase.

If you've figured out anything about me by now it's that a) I like to travel and b) food is a huge part of my life.

Well, technically two: I only had 24 hours. I have a comically tiny appetite. Despite this, I sure was going to try and taste as much of Chicago as I could.

There are some items that are made specifically for travel that are definitely worth it. Enter the Chawel.

24 Hours in Chicago
Bleary eyed as we touch down in O'Hare airport, I was immediately regretting my decision to take a red-eye flight. I was cursing myself my mind as I deplaned. Sure, a red eye to the East coast makes sense. That flight is at least 5 hours, if not longer and you can get a decent night's sleep. But flying to the middle of the country? What was I thinking?! And so starting my 24 hours in the beautiful city of Chicago. After navigating through the airport, I managed to make my way onto the Chicago subway system. First stop?

On Set in Boston with On Location Tours
Who doesn't enjoy seeing something you've only seen in movies in real life? I know I do. That line that blurs fiction and reality. My hometown of Vancouver is sometimes called Hollywood North and I always found it really exciting to see it in movies. Boston is no different, with so many movies filmed in and around the city which is why I decided to go scout some locations with On Location tours. While they have a couple tour options in Boston, I went with their Boston TV and Movie Sites Tour. The tour takes you through a number of Continue Reading

America, Welcome to the Fourth ReichAmerican Fascism did not start with World War II. Before Operation Paperclip , the codename under which the US intelligence and military services extricated scientists from Germany, during and after the final stages of the conflict, the annals of internal despotism were well established. With the open door policy for German engineering, the political ideology of state worship was bound to travel across the Atlantic.

Gas Prices as an Indicator of Energy Costs
February 28, 2012 by SARTRE · Leave a Comment
The consumer does not need more reminders about the pain experienced with every fill up at the pump. The drain on your pocketbook is growing. During economic dislocation and diminished vitality any prospects of a turnaround dim as gas approaches $4.00 a gallon and beyond. Been here before and the idea that this time the economy will be less effected is unreasonable. The cost for all energy is rising but the impact of gas prices has a personal burden on everyday budgets. The Price of Fuel provides a useful synopsis.

- A Lesson From Scott Walker's Political Collapse: Playing Neocon Warrior Is No Path To PresidencyThere may be no sadder political spectacle than a Republican governor running for president. He knows nothing about foreign policy. But he recognizes that Neocons dominate the GOP and expect the nominee to advocate perpetual war. So he plays faux warrior, insisting that he is more likely than his competitors to wreak death and destruction […]
- BLAME AMERICA? NO, BLAME NEOCONS!Accusing those who criticize US foreign policy of "blaming America" is pretty selective, however. Such accusations are never leveled at those who criticize a US pullback. For example, most neocons argue that the current crisis in Iraq is all Obama's fault for pulling US troops out of the country. Are they "blaming America first" for […]

Veritas – Harness the Power of Information
Ian Wood, Director of Solution Marketing, EMEA
Oct 6 2015
31 mins
Companies everywhere are drowning in data. They are collecting more of it, and at an accelerated pace, while at the same time depending on it more than they have before. Data centers are being constructed around the world to house all this information, but research shows that more than two-thirds of what is being kept is worthless.
That's where Veritas comes in.
The demand for our information management services has never been higher, as there will be more than 44 zettabytes of data in the world by 2020. Using current approaches, IT organizations will be incapable of managing that data – they don't have the financial or human resources. At Veritas, our business is structured on addressing this issue. We are focused on helping companies harness the power of their information – wherever it resides – by driving availability and revealing insights across heterogeneous environments.
Join this webcast to learn more about the Veritas vision, where an information-centric approach is taken over infrastructure-centric and we explain our three core beliefs;
• More data does not deliver more value
• Infrastructure availability does not mean application availability
• Not all data is created equal

During this webinar, you will learn about the new features of Samba 4.0 and see a typical migration scenario for an organisation seeking to migrate from Microsoft Active Directory to Zentyal.
You will also find out about the support arrangements available for organisations seeking to take route and how the Ubuntu-Zentyal partners benefit customers that wish to migrate to this open source alternative.
This webinar is ideal for:
* Small and medium businesses interested in migrating from Active Directory to Samba 4.0,

Croydon police officers are taking part in the London wide operation
Robert Fisk / / News
Cops will be out in force on the streets of Croydon today targeting burglars and thieves as part of a Met-wide operation.
Across the borough search warrants are being executed and officers will be carrying out checks at pawn shops and other stores where thieves try to sell on stolen goods.
Uniformed and plain clothes officers will also be on patrol at robbery and burglary hotspots to catch crooks in the act.
And automatic number plate recognition cameras are being used to catch criminals while they are driving around Croydon.
Officer in charge Commander Mak Chishty said: "The Metropolitan Police is committed to driving down crime and its generators in London.
"Crimes like burglary, robbery and theft have a huge impact on the people who are victims.
"Work continues day in and day out to target those responsible and the networks they use to sell on stolen property, but big highly visible operations like today play a major part in the fight against crime and demonstrates there is no hiding place for criminals."
Today's Operation Big Wing involves more than 5,500 officers from across 32 boroughs, safer transport command and specialist units, including the territorial support group and dogs unit, working with partners to carry out a wide range of operational and crime prevention activities as part of an ongoing drive to cut crime in London.

Never will I forget the day when I was getting my weekly 'mani and pedi' in a Manhattan nail salon, when two big, burly, tough-looking construction workers entered the salon to do the very same thing. Without a thought, they headed straight for the two open pedicure stations next to me, ripped off their stinky construction boots, sat down in the chairs and plopped their feet into the bubbling hot water. These two men were obviously regulars, as they addressed the nail technicians by first name and 'knew the drill' so to speak. Over the next hour or so, they looked completely at ease, enjoying the treatments…they were naturals.
Just this past week, history repeated itself. I was in the nail salon getting a manicure and I witnessed two policemen getting manicures. Apparently, they too were regulars, as the nail technicians who were working on their nails knew them by name and were chatting with them as if they were the best of friends.
I'm not saying that I never thought men should get manicures or pedicures, but it was the fact that THESE men were getting them; AND were comfortable enough to do so together. With one fell swoop, they debunked the stereotype that only gay or metro-sexual men indulge in this luxurious experience. Now don't get me wrong, these aren't my stereotypes. These are stereotypes that a lot of men have (including my husband…whom I love dearly). This prompted me to give men (and the women who love them) a good list of reasons to get manicures and pedicures:
So, if you are a woman who is dieing to get her man into the nail salon, tell the story of the construction workers and police officers. If you are a man who has always turned your nose up at the idea, think again. There are a lot of 'manly men' out there who seem to think it is manly enough. Do you have any other reasons that you think men should indulge?

James Franco Talks Gay Films
Ever since James Franco emerged in Hollywood, gay men around the country have been infatuated with the actor, who Salon.com named the sexiest man alive in 2009.
Franco's first big hit happened in 2001 where he played the title role in the biopic film "James Dean." But it was his role in the "Spider Man" franchise playing Harry Osborn, the son of the villainous Green Goblin, where he achieved worldwide fame.
Later it would be his role in the critically acclaimed biopic "Milk" when he truly became beloved by the LGBT community. In that movie he played political activist Harvey Milk's boyfriend Scott Smith. Since then he's gone on to play gay men twice more. Those movies include "Howl," a biopic about 20th-century American poet, Allen Ginsberg and "The Broken Tower," a biopic of American poet Hart Crane, who committed suicide.
But Franco's interest in gay and lesbian film began long before his role in "Milk." It dates back to the 1991 independent movie "My Own Private Idaho," starring River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. That film tells the story of two best friends living on the streets as male hustlers, who embark on a journey of self-discovery about their sexualities and their relationship.
"I have a lot of different connections to the LGBT community and I have a lot of aesthetic or artistic connections or reasons I am interested in queer cinema," Franco said. " 'My Own Private Idaho' was a big influence on me in many ways. I watched it when I was in high school and since then."
After high school Franco went on to study queer cinema at New York University. And as noted above Franco hasn't shied away from gay roles.
"For a long time it was seen as something that was harmful to your career," he said. "I find that it hasn't hurt me at all, and even if it did hurt me, it wouldn't deter me from doing the kinds of projects that I want to do."

Not wishing to be negative we were Happy with the accommodation, had hope that there would have been available parking we were fortunate in that we found a place my wife holds disabled badge which helps.
The room was fine as regards accommodation but there was a number of stairs to ascend it would have been a serious problem 12mths previous to my wife's heart surgery we did cope the room would have suited a younger couple better.

Perfect location
Greystoke House is perfectly located when visiting the Lake District and Castlerig Stone Circle.
The room was small but very comfortable and clean. We were able to park at the door, however as the tourist season increases, street parking may be challenging. Food was good. Customer service excellent. Restaurants are plentiful and within easy walking distance.

Not too bad overall but...
Small room, smaller bed.
Place was only half full in a street of B&B's with no vacancies. It's hard to put into words but I felt we were not particularly valued. We were given a choice of rooms but directed to the smallest room in the house. Breakfast was okay but formulaic. It's a small point of issue but I asked for toast with breakfast, it came almost at the end. Breakfast on day two and three was punctuated with a silly amount of offers of more toast but only at the end of the 'Full English'. It just felt uncomfortable and we won't be going back.

Most welcoming stay in Keswick
We stayed at the Greystoke House over the weekend and it was wonderful.
We had our puppy with us and was pleasantly surprised how accommodating they were with dogs (even had a doggy mat for his food). The room was nice & clean, the bed & pillows extremely comfy, which is always a bonus after a hard day's walk.
The host Mark was very friendly and helpful when it came to ideas for short walks around Keswick on our final day. The cooked breakfast was absolutely delicious. I would thoroughly recommend it!

Would stay again
Lovely B&B close to town and a really good breakfast.
Just what we were looking for and would readily stay again.

Graystoke House does offer very good value for your money.
The rooms and in fact the whole accommodation was spotless. The breakfast has been second to none and if you wish the owners even fill up your thermos with tea or coffee for your hike. Mark (one of the owners) even carried my big bag all the way upstairs upon arrival. That I think says something about the attitude of the owners because such service you can't take for granted these days .
This B&B is highly recommended.

You might recall that I played an advisory role to the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in 2012 in Dubai. In the run-up to that event -- as well as during and after it -- I gave my opinion on the role of internet governance, plus an analysis of what was happening. At that time I held a more conciliatory position on the issue, but you may have noticed that, in the wake of the Snowden revelations and the illegal NSA activities, as well as many other similar activities from ASIO in Australia and no doubt the Russian, Israeli and Chinese authorities, my position has shifted significantly. more»
Yesterday I had the privilege of delivering the keynote address at the inaugural Internet Society (Canada) Symposium. In my remarks, I took the opportunity to talk about my thoughts on the current status of the IANA stewardship transition and enhancing ICANN accountability processes.

As we head into what will be a critical meeting of the CCWG-Accountability in Los Angeles today, I fear that the Internet governance community is headed for a showdown, the consequences of which could prove detrimental. more»
On September 25th-26th the Cross Community Working Group developing enhanced accountability measures to accompany the IANA functions transition, and replace the "backstop" role played by the U.S., will meet in Los Angeles to review the 90 comments filed on their second draft Proposal and consider responsive modifications... As NTIA will be the primary evaluator of whether the transition & accountability package that is eventually forwarded by ICANN meets the criteria it set when it announced the transition in March 2014, CCWG participants in LA will be carefully reading the tea leaves of this latest NTIA statement. more»
It was predictable, and inevitable, I suppose, that the end game of a search for a more accountable ICANN would devolve to a lawyer's contest. When there is money on the table, and when global politics are invoked to one degree or another, it is the lawyers who are tasked to translate lofty goals into precise words on paper that will survive the inspection of judges and courts. And ambitious politicians as well. more»
The members of the ICANN community engaged in the work of the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-ACCT, or just plain "CCWG" for this article) has been engaged since late 2014 in designing an enhanced ICANN accountability plan to accompany the transition of oversight of the IANA root zone functions from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the global multistakeholder community.
