Hey Ships at a Distance :) I've just wiki-adopted you, so I just thought I'd let you know here. If you have any questions whatsoever, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page, or by email. Hope you're having a good time. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 17:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hey :) Just wondering how you're getting along? —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 08:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Howdy. If you revert blatant vandalism, it should indeed be followed by a formal warning. Try to follow the template system laid out here, in increasing severity. If less blatant (such as typos) it's not really worth giving warnings unless it's persistent. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 19:14, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
- User accounts can be blocked indefinitely (e.g. for vandalism) or for a short period of time (e.g. 24 hours for 3RR violations). IP addresses is where it gets a little more complicated. There are some IPs which can be blocked indefinitely if they are static, i.e. belong only to one client. Some, however, are called dynamic IP addresses which get assigned randomly to different users by their ISPs, and therefore it'd be unfair to block them indefinitely. This is why you see several blocks ranging over months. In these cases, we can only block that IP temporarily and hope that it prevents disruption, or keeps the IP from vandalising until reassigned.
- Howdy. If you revert blatant vandalism, it should indeed be followed by a formal warning. Try to follow the template system laid out here, in increasing severity. If less blatant (such as typos) it's not really worth giving warnings unless it's persistent. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 19:14, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
- And yes, only administrators can block. If you see a user who continues vandalising after their final warning, you should report it to WP:AIV. This is where the administrators hang out and process block requests. Hope this helps, I recommend reading the following topics: WP:BLOCK and WP:WARN. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 20:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
"Referencing of other Wikipedia articles"[edit]
Those weren't references to other articles you deleted. Thucydides only wrote one book, "The History of the Peloponnesian War", and it's general convention to reference his name and the section. Also, "Lycurgus of Athens, in Leocrates p. 164" is also clearly referencing a distinct work, with a wiki link to the author. Please be a little more careful in the future. Thanks! Ford MF (talk) 01:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
RE: Midwifery in Maya society[edit]
Hey SAAD. It looks like a decent article, the user has written it well with a lot of sources. It's also of a decent length. I'd probably say it's best to keep it at it's current location. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 06:41, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
RE: Writing better articles[edit]
Glad to hear you want to start making more edits. I don't know much about the style of articles such as Narwal but I've done a bit on things like menstruation. The first thing to realise is that any statement you make much be sourced, reading the medical reliable sources guide may help. Also, reading the following guidelines will help you with knowing what you can and can't write: WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:NOR. Although, if you're considering expanding upon external links sections, you should read WP:LINKS.
Sorry I can't any more specific than that, if you want you can ask something else :) —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 07:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's best to edit articles which you have at least a basic background knowledge in because then you can read the article and see if certain topics are missing. Good sources can be found in places like PubMed. I can't say I have much experience with anything but disease articles so I can't be much more help than that I'm afraid. For medical articles, I recommend asking for help at WP:MED which is the Medicine WikiProject. People there will be able to help review the article and see what's missing etc. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 21:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights),
{{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

RE: Sockpuppetry[edit]
See here, it talks you through pretty well and theres a text box half way down where you can create a new page. It'll load the template automatically for you to edit the details. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 22:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, unfortunately it is a bit complicated to do. I think it's because they assume users using the page are a lot more familiar with how things work, but that is a bit of a dumb assumption. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 22:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- I can't say I know how to, I use a semi-automatic program to warn people called WP:TWINKLE. Anyone can use it, so feel free to install it. It also allows you to use a sort of manual rollback and welcome users, so it's worth having. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 08:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Business Executives for National Security deprod[edit]
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Business Executives for National Security, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! MadScot (talk) 23:08, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
It was part of a deliberate (& possibly malicious) attempt to invert the sourced situation. I consider a level 2 warning (and one which does not mention vandalism) precisely appropriate. Thanks for your good faith comments, but please don't encourage soapboxing. Hertz1888 (talk) 05:36, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey, just checking up on you. How are things? —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 19:50, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- I could give you a fat load of links to check out, but if you go to this users page, there's a massive list of areas you can go check out on the right hand side. These give you pages that need working on, stubs that need creating etc. What do you mean by menstruation in history? You could always create the article yourself when you feel ready :) —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 20:29, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ohh I get you, sounds good. Drop me a line if you need a review on an article or anything and I'll try and sort one out. Best of luck, and no worries about the links. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 00:10, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello Ships. If you try googling "Knút Háberg Eysturstein" you find lots of links that prove notability. Yes it is a self biography and I am working on making references. No need to delete anything... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knytil (talk • contribs) 04:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
I have added 10 references to the article (which is significantly more than at a lot of what one sees on Wikipedia). You can have a look at them if you'd like, and see if they meet standards. Regarding critera on WP:Band: every project I have been involved with has garnered articles, reviews etc. in different magazines, websites etc. + every project has released music on Tutl Records, the single most important indie label in the Faroe Islands with a roster of over 200 albums from artists in several different genres. Try checking out http://www.tutl.com so thats at least two critera met.
Regarding "conflict of interest": well, I put this on Wikipedia for everyone to read and for editors to edit if they think it necessary. Where is the line between "informational in an encyclopedic manner" and "self-promotional"? Readers and editors can be the judges of that :) (Knytil (talk) 04:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC))
Hello again & thanks for the interest. 1. I think I see your point. Which is: all information should be available elsewhere by third party sources. Nothing new should be on Wiki. So there are some problems with the article. I'll leave it at that & you can do with the article as you like. But then again since I started using Wikipedia I've read a LOT of other articles that don't meet those critera (lack of sources/references). So you're gonna be busy then :) (but let it be said these were in most cases good articles, with info that I knew to be true even though references were lacking).
2. I am and have been part of other bands/projects but I am also a band/project in my own right. My first solo album and upcoming 2nd album are albums in every way just like the others and will promoted just as much. They meet the criteria just as much. I think this makes the idea of an article on me as a musician valid.
3.maybe it is an idea to edit the article and strip it down to only containing information that is available elsewhere?(Knytil (talk) 05:46, 13 January 2009 (UTC))
I forgot that there is a bio at www.last.fm: http://www.last.fm/music/Kn%C3%BAt+H%C3%A1berg+Eysturstein (Knytil (talk) 06:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC))
Other sources I've found: here is an american review in english: http://www.rambles.net/eysturstein_havsgl04.html here is a bio from http://www.soundvenue.com/artist/knuthabergeysturstein Here is a review of "Havsglóð", but it is in danish: http://www.geiger.dk/anmeldelser/anmeldelse.php?id=1514 here is overview with review & article, also in danish: http://www.geiger.dk/gaesteanmeldere/gaesteanmelder.php?id=182 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knytil (talk • contribs) 06:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello there. Do you have any experience regarding how long these "deletion process" debates usually take? I'm asking since I found some "up for deletion" articles dating from 2006...Just thinking what the point is with having an article up that has the "up for the deletion" tag on. Makes it look suspicious, no matter how many references are included. As a user looking for reliable info I probably wouldn't find it very useful. If this is going to take forever, I'm just going to delete the article myself and be done with it. --Knytil (talk) 11:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Chinese herbology[edit]
Saw your note on Chinese herbology at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rational Skepticism. I can't do anything with it myself, but you might try posting your concerns at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine or Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants. -- 126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
New Rational Skepticism WikiProject member asking for look at Theosophy entry[edit]
Since you are an active participant in the Rational Skepticism WikiProject, would you mind looking over the Wikipedia entry on Theosophy to see if you find any concerns?
I've been ordered to fix the page so that it accords with my understanding of the NPOV policy. I'm happy to do that but I have a lot of work at my job.
Now I've been told that I must make the changes by April 30th or the NPOV tag will be removed. I simply can't learn how to use Wikipedia as a newcomer, become familiar with all the sources, and make the edits if I must do it all by April 30th.
Would you look over the Theosophy page? Also, can you recommend anything? Thanks much,Factseducado (talk) 14:55, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

It was a modest beginning for Mosi Tatupu with the New England Patriots in 1978.
Ron Hobson, the respected, longtime Patriots reporter for the Quincy Patriot Ledger, recalled the story Wednesday.
"It was time for their second pick of the eighth round, and public relations director Tom Hoffman said out loud in the draft room, 'We should draft the Samoan running back from USC,'" Hobson said. "[Coach Chuck] Fairbanks turned to him and said, 'Sure, announce his name.'"
So Hoffman stepped forward and informed media members in attendance that with the 215th overall selection in the 1978 draft, the Patriots were picking Mosiula Faasuka Tatupu.
"At that point, they were looking to fill a uniform in the summer as a training camp back," Hobson said. "It was a whim. [Thirteen] years later, he was still on the team, a special teams player of the year. He was just terrific."
That's how Tatupu's solid career with the Patriots began, and it's a story Hobson and Hoffman reminisced about Wednesday morning, saddened to learn that Tatupu had died at the age of 54.
Those who had played with Tatupu shared their own stories Wednesday, painting a picture of a player who always seemed to be smiling, who had a special connection with fans (who created a cheering section called "Mosi's Mooses") and who was a unifying presence in the locker room.
"As much as you want to talk about how teams unite, there is always a bit of a racial divide in the locker room, and one of the things I remember most about Mosi is that he was one of those guys who sat right in the middle of that," said safety Tim Fox, who played for the Patriots from 1976 to 1981. "He had just as many friends who were black as were white. He was a great team builder."
Part of what helped Tatupu position himself as a unifier in the locker room was his background, as he was born in Pago Pago, American Samoa, and later moved to Hawaii. He was unique among his peers.
Tatupu also stood out for his style of play. Much as linebacker Tedy Bruschi developed a special rapport with Patriots fans in the team's recent championship-filled decade, Tatupu had a loyal following in the 1980s because of his hard-nosed, full-tilt approach as a short-yardage runner and special teams leader.
"What I've found from football fans in this area is that they appreciate a lunch-pail attitude, someone who shows up for work every day, and that's what Mosi did. He could have played in any era," quarterback Steve Grogan said. "I also think his personality, the spirit and fun he showed, transferred to the fans, and that's why they loved him so much."
"It was his work ethic, and I think everyone considered him a workers' man kind of guy," added linebacker Don Blackmon, who said Tatupu tutored him on covering kicks when he arrived as a rookie. "That's just the way he was. Ask Mosi to do anything, and he would have done it. That's why people gravitated to him."
Patriots owner Robert Kraft was one of those fans who admired Tatupu when attending games at Schaefer and Sullivan stadium. "I don't think you could watch a Patriots game in the '80s without becoming a fan of his," Kraft said.
Linebacker Steve Nelson remembered that Tatupu had such a strong bond with fans because "he was willing to be out with them and enjoy them as much as they enjoyed him." Yet Nelson believes that shouldn't be the only way Tatupu is remembered in New England.
"He is just one of those guys that all the players and coaches trusted because he prepared himself and was professional about everything," said Nelson, who later coached alongside Tatupu at Curry College in Milton, Mass. "He was the leader on special teams, had an incredible work ethic and understood his role. He was always prepared to be called upon on offense, whether there was no snow on the ground or it was a short-yardage situation. He wasn't just a popular player; he was a great player."
Tatupu's excellence in snowy conditions, where his ability to maintain balance produced impressive results, defied explanation. After all, snow isn't often in the forecast in Samoa, Hawaii or Southern California.
"A lot of people remember the 'Snow Plow Game' and John Smith's kick won it, but it was Mosi who ran for more than 100 yards that day and that really won the game," center Pete Brock said.
Off the field, Grogan said Tatupu was the owner of a "smile that radiated," while Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Tippett said Tatupu "was happy all the time and just pleasant to be around."
"He had an incredible spirit," Nelson said. "He just made you feel better being around him."

What Is It Like?
What is like,
To not breathe a single breath,
or to live alone and helpless?
I do not know,
For I have lungs that work
and a family I care for.
What is it like,
To travel back in time,
or to go and see the future?
I do not know,
For the past is a memory
and the future is a mystery.
What is it like,
To die and shrink away,
or to live on forever?
I do not know,
For I do not plan on dying,
but to keep on living.

Very nice poem. Really made me think.
What's it like, really? I find that I never really ask those questions because, it hasn't happened it. And even if it does, it will be so different from our imagination anyways that we won't be prepared.
It's just like you said: For the past is a memory/and the future is a mystery.
Great poem!

western saddle, what do I need to know before buying
Hey yall,
I need some advice on where to begin my hunt for a saddle. I have the horse now need to find a saddle that fits me and him. I have the saddle my father-in-law owned but not sure if it fits my horse and I really want a black saddle. I would prefer something lighter as well. I really have trouble getting the big heavy roping saddles up on my boy. Help me start down this path please.
I recommend KO Trading.
They have very nice saddles for a very good price, you can even custom build your own for cheap.
here is a link --> KO Trading - The Premier Texas Equine Resource - Saddles & Accessories
I will be ordering a barrel saddle from them soon, I have seen this brand in person and I have also ridden in one....I love them!

Save Treeview Little League
$5,830 of $15.5k goal
My son has been playing baseball for an awesome little league in Hayward California, a small city in San Francisco Bay Area. Our city has been experiencing lack of funding for education and sport activities for our children. Frankly, I don't remember the last time my kids' school sponsored a field trip for them. And we've been here for 14 years. It's quite sad, but as parents we continue to thrive and we must find ways to keep our children off the street from getting in trouble with drugs and crime. What better way to do it then to keep them in sports?
This Saturday, May 31, 2014 would be the closing ceremony for my son's little league. But the league were unable to pull it off due to low funds. And last week someone broke into the clubhouse/snack bar (not once, but twice) and stole the league's petty cash and other items. Before that incident, the league had non-working restrooms which caused a closure of the Snack Bar for a week or so...
However, Treeview Little League is facing a bigger problem then those incidents... They are facing a possible of "no return" next season because of lack of funding. My kid, Larsen, whose dream is to become the next Babe Ruth had asked me if I could do something to save his league. So I am starting this campaign to raise money to save Treeview Little League.
Please visit this link to find out more about Treeview Little League http://treeviewlittleleague.blogspot.com/p/about-us.html
If you could spare $20, $10, $5, or even coffee change, the league could really use it!
What the money will be used for?
Opening Day/Closing Day Celebration (for 2014-2015 season - we did not have either ones for 2014 season.) $2,000
Trophies (This year, parents took care of the cost for trophies.) $2,000
Fields improvement. (Don't you think we need it?) $2,000
Clubhouse/Snack Bar improvement! (We need this one really bad.) We want to keep the Snack Bar open every Saturday next season - this could be our cash flow for the league going on forward!) $2,250
Sign up 10 players for free on a need basis the 2014-2015 season. (Some kids in the area want to play ball, but unfortunately their parents couldn't afford it. So yeah, we want to give them that opportunity to play BALL!) $1,500
Utilities (PGE - $200 a month, Garbage $150 a month): $4,000
Charter Cost: $1,000
Promotional Materials Cost: $500
Total Requested: $15,500
Please, please help save my son's little league… Thank you in advance for all donations.
- Just a mom and a 9 year old kid trying to save an AWESOME league.
With all the donations coming in today, we're getting closer to our goal, but we're still got ways to go. Yet, we're confident that we can get there... :)
This is a clip from tonight's game at Treeview Little League... With the donations, we can keep the excitement alive!
Again, thank you!!!
Since 1961, volunteers have operated the Treeview Little League. This generous group consists of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and grandparents. They have responsibilities such as school, work, and family – but still take the time to help out and make our little league possible.
We are very grateful for our volunteers, which make up the board; snack concession; umpires; scorekeepers; and the caretakers for our fields.
Meet some of our volunteers at the Snack Concession…
Any updated information? Doesn't seem like we are doing enough pushing for donations..
Maybe it might be a good idea for the people to get together and discuss maybe an event or fun and games at the ball park to help Treeview raise money.. Maybe some home run derby, BBQ, face painting, games and more.. And all the money made could go toward Treeview... This could be a yearly thing..
Go & win it boys & have fun doing it!
I work for ADT Security. I would love to help out any way I could..
Perhaps better security...or better yet, don't leave money or items of value at the snack bar. Good luck. All my kids played there.
It's a sad thing to see all the Hayward little leagues suffer from lack of kids,I've seen Hayward Cottennental,Hayward American,La Vista fold I think Hayward leagues should consolidate into one or two leagues to have quality and competitive leagues. There are year round soccer and basketball that young kids now play along with travel leagues to compete with District 45 should consider boundary reconstruction to save baseball in Hayward.
This is a league my grandfather was involved in. He loved baseball. My father played, brother, cousins and now my son. I am, personally, fighting to keep the memory alive.

THIBODAUX - Nicholls State will look to continue its momentum tonight as Northwestern State (8-6, 5-3) comes to Stopher Gym in a Southland Conference men's basketball game, which is slated to begin at 7 p.m.
The contest will mark the beginning of a season-long homestand and represents the 77th time in school history the Colonels have met the Demons, making it the longest-running rivalry in Nicholls men's basketball history.
Currently one-half game out of first place following Monday's 74-70 victory over Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Texas, Nicholls could possibly end up alone in first place with a McNeese State loss to Southeastern Louisiana in Hammond tonight.That scenario would make the Colonels the only SLC squad with a 7-3 record.
"I think our guys realize just how important this game is," Broussard said. "From here on out it is going to be critical for us to protect our home-court advantage. We have four really tough teams coming here and it starts with Northwestern State. We need to really be ready to play and go at it hard for 40 minutes."
In Monday's victory over the Bearkats, Nicholls State received contributions from a few likely sources and some unlikely ones as well.
Senior forward Arthur Haralson posted his second double-double in as many games, earning himself Southland Conference Player of the Week Recognition. He averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds on the week.
Sophomores Sean Hughley and Earnest Porter also performed well with Hughley notching a career-high 12 points and Porter putting together his second consecutive double-figure scoring game with 10 points each contest.
The sophomore backcourt picked up the slack for the injured Marlon Green, who took a hard shot to the chest late in the first half never returned. Bacon, who sustained a gash above his left eye, was able to play but suffered blurry vision the rest of the way. Both players practiced Wednesday and have been cleared to play against the Demons.
In Northwestern State, the Colonels will be facing a squad that was picked by nearly every pre-season publication to finish in the Southland Conference's upper echelon.
Northwestern has won two of its last three with its last win coming on Monday evening in Natchitoches against Southwest Texas.
In the 76-70 win, junior Michael Byars-Dawson scored 14 points. It was the eighth time this season that the transfer from Miami has led the team in scoring. On the season, Byars-Dawson's 15 points per game average leads the Demons. A pleasant surprise for coach Mike McConathy's team has been freshman D'or Fischer. After not competing in basketball as a prepster in Philadelphia, the 6-foot-11 freshman blocked 12 shots in Monday's win over the Bobcats, coming within two of an NCAA record.
Following Thursday's game, the Colonels will take on McNeese State in the second half of doubleheader action scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Notes: Nicholls has won its last six games against the Demons in Stopher Gym
The Colonels are 32-46 all-time against the Demons and have won five of the last six games.
Nicholls State is currently the only SLC school to have three players ranked in the league's top 15 in scoring (Arthur Haralson is third, Chris Bacon is ninth, and and Marlon Green is 15th).
Nicholls has outrebounded opponents by 10 in its eight wins, while losing the battle of the boards by eight in its eight losses.

Failure of fasteners is one of the leading causes of vehicle recall in North America and Europe, and improved fastener technology will be part of the solution, according to a release for the report.
The typical threaded joint, produced by a standard nut and bolt, has existed since the 19th century and is no longer adequate for many of the 21st century problems the automotive industry is facing, such as the need for greener vehicles.
The problem is that when a fastener loses its clamp load, it no longer does its job and safety, recall, or warranty issues occur. Locking devices from wires and washers to chemical and drypatch adhesives are commonly added to retain clamp load. While adding weight and complexity, however, these methods do not always hold up under shock, vibration, or temperature extremes.
An overdesign 'belt and suspenders' mentality in automotive design has prevailed, for instance, putting 8 bolts on an exhaust manifold when 4 might do. This has led to big, heavy, fuel inefficient cars that consumers will increasingly turn from in today's cost, energy, and environmentally conscious climate.
While green technology beckons, much of it still isn't ready for prime time. Hybrid cars, which pair a traditional gas engine with advanced electronics, are gaining acceptance but are still too costly for many consumers. All-electric vehicles are hampered by battery cost, battery life, and inadequate electrical grids. Fuel cells, which release energy converting hydrogen to water, remain in development and lack a reliable means of distributing hydrogen fuel. One green technology, however, is already proving itself.
"Of all the fuel-saving technologies, clean diesel is the one that's most ready to go right out of the box. Diesels already dominate some European markets," states a recent BusinessWeek article titled "Get Ready for Less Boring Green Cars." Clean diesel burns low-sulfur diesel fuel in direct-injection engines.
"Clean diesel will be the bridge technology to all-electric and fuel cell powered vehicles," agrees Genick of Emhart Teknologies. "Compared to conventional gas engines of equivalent displacement, its engine torque is 35-40 percent higher, its fuel mileage almost double in smaller engines, and its emissions much less."
But clean diesel puts added strain on fasteners due to its added torque in the drivetrain and added heat and vibration in the turbocharged powertrain and chassis.
To assure joint integrity in these critical areas while preventing safety, warranty, or recall issues, automotive engineers are finding a solution in an innovative fastener called Spiralock.
Traditional locking fasteners do not address a basic design problem with the standard 60-degree thread form: that the gap between the crest of the male and female threads can lead to vibration-induced thread loosening. Stress concentration and fatigue at the first few engaged threads is also a problem, along with an increased probability of shear, especially in soft metals, due to its tendency toward axial loading. Temperature extremes can also expand or contract surfaces and materials, potentially compromising joint integrity.
Engineers, however, have successfully attacked these challenges while reducing component weight and enabling re-usability with the Spiralock locking fastener. This re-engineered thread form adds a unique 30-degree wedge ramp at the root of the thread which mates with standard 60-degree male thread fasteners.
The wedge ramp allows the bolt to spin freely relative to female threads until clamp load is applied. The crests of the standard male thread form are then drawn tightly against the wedge ramp, eliminating radial clearances and creating a continuous spiral line contact along the entire length of the thread engagement. This continuous line contact spreads the clamp force more evenly over all engaged threads, improving resistance to vibrational loosening, axial-torsional loading, joint fatigue, and temperature extremes.
The Spiralock locking fastener has been validated in published test studies at leading institutions including MIT, the Goddard Space Flight Center, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and British Aerospace. It has been used in extreme fastening applications with virtually no chance of recall: from the main engines of NASA's Space Shuttle; to the Saturn Cassini orbiter and Titan Huygens probe; to medical implants, artificial limbs, and heart pumps.
"The Spiralock fastener's ability to retain clamp load under extreme shock, vibration, and temperature with less weight, complexity, and maintenance makes it a natural choice for automotive, especially clean diesel," says Genick. "It retains clamp load even with dissimilar exotic materials, such as composites and titanium, which is important in reducing vehicle weight." Weight savings also come from reducing fastener size or number with an equal or better safety margin compared to fasteners with the standard 60-degree thread form, according to Arlindo Marques, Director of Global Engineering for Spiralock.
"The key is Spiralock's full contact along the entire engaged length of the thread," says Marques. "This reduces thread galling, or microwelding, especially in the heat-resistant nickel alloys becoming important in automotive. It enables fastener reusability up to 50 times, simplifying installation and maintenance. And it makes the thread form self-centering, which improves performance and eases the balancing of high-RPM diesel and turbo systems."
In automotive, the locking fastener is already used in applications ranging from ring gears, torque converters, and chassis assembly to exhaust manifold joints and axle, turbine, or transmission housings. For diesel engine applications, it has been adopted by Caterpillar and Mack Trucks.
"We brought Spiralock into the Emhart family because we believe there's so much potential in automotive," says Genick. "While the industry is challenged, there's opportunity to accelerate out of the downturn with more powerful, higher mileage, lower emission, clean diesel technology. Innovative fastener technology like Spiralock can help the industry make the transition, while helping to lower recall and warranty rates."
Emhart Teknologies is involved in everything from vehicle exterior trim through the powertrain and suspension. It owns Spiralock, which is used for design challenges in a wide range of industries including automotive, heavy truck, aerospace/military, medical, food processing, agriculture, construction, rail, and oil drilling. Production changeovers to the fastener are typically quick and seamless, often requiring just an exchange of traditional nuts, wire inserts or simply drilling out and re-tapping existing parts stock that have unreliable standard tapped holes.

After losing 230 pounds, Danny Cahill not only became the winner of the eighth season of "The Biggest Loser," but with a 55.58 percent weight loss, he is officially the biggest loser in "Biggest Loser" history.
The lovable land surveyor and musician was a fan favorite because of his caring attitude towards his fellow contestants, determination and frequent emotional breakdowns. In a conference call Wednesday following his win, he even called himself "the biggest crier."
Check out what else Danny shared:
What was your regimen from the time you left the ranch to last night's win?
Danny Cahill: I did exactly what I did on the ranch. I kept my diet exactly like I did. I was a stickler for what I put in my body. I kept the workouts the same I did on the ranch. I did that with the help of my family. They supported me wholly in the process.
With that weight loss, will you have the extra skin removed surgically?
Cahill: Yes, I've got some skin issues. I've talked to a few people about hat. I do foresee that in my future. What I want to do is before I make the decision to get that done I want to the gym and instead of losing weight I want to lift some weights and build up a little bit of muscle before I do that. I don't want to go have skin surgery and then build up a bunch of muscle on top of it. I'm not going to body build or anything.
What kept your fire going throughout competition?
Cahill: When I went home in Week 5 and the Blue Team sent the Black Team home. The Blue Team expected the Black Team to not do good, to not do well at home as well as they would on the ranch. When I came back to the ranch at the end of the week, I was determined to prove them wrong.I was determined to beat every person on the Blue Team in weight loss and I did. I lost 15 pounds that week. That was really the beginning of the spark in me. I turned a corner that week. Jillian pulled me aside and told me, "I'm seeing in you, you've turned the corner. You can do this. You can win this. You can really see yourself as a champion now." Week after week that fire just kept getting hotter and hotter. I got more confidence. I began to believe.
Any fears about regaining weight?
Cahill: Yeah there's definitely a fear because it's unknown territory. I haven't been there in a long, long time. I regained the weight once. That's why this was a second chance for me. I was overweight as a child and when I was 15 I lost 75 over a summer and kept it off for eight years. And then I gained all that [back] plus another 150 pounds. So it is scary. But I now have the knowledge I need to keep it off. The thing I'm going to have to do is stay diligent, not stop. An object that is in motion tends to stay in motion. An object that is at rest tends to stay at rest.
Were others around you inspired to lose weight also?
Cahill: Yes, starting with my wife. When I left for the ranch she weighed 217 pounds. She has lost over 60 pounds and is in the 150s. She wants to get down another 15-20 pounds to get to her goal weight. I receive countless emails every day that says I've inspired them to lose weight. People in my own family, my in-laws and extended family they've started losing weight. I'm also a Discovery graduate which is a class in Dallas that is a self-empowerment class that was started in the 1980s by Dr. Phil. They actually have a "Biggest Loser" contest inspired by me.
What were your first feelings when you learned you had to run a marathon?
Cahill: I had a feeling whenever Jillian called, when she said, "Do you know what it is." I was afraid to say. I knew she was going to say "marathon." Running was definitely not my strong point at that point at all. I hated to run. It hurt to run because when I left the ranch I was still 288 pounds … I was pretty intimidated. But at the same time, how we overcome obstacles is we set goals. The marathon had become a goal for me. It seems the way to conquer your fears is just go out there and do 'em. I did that in Week 11 going over across the canyon. I have an immense fear of heights. Going across that 200-foot high canyon conquered that. I thought, "If I can do that, I can do a marathon." It felt great running across the finish line with Liz.
What were your thoughts before and after Rudy got on the scale? Did you think you'd win?
Cahill: Before I got on the scale, I hadn't seen Rudy. They kept us sequestered. When I walked out and saw Rudy, I was amazed. Yeah I was worried. I left the marathon, about 4 percent on him. He was going to have to lose a lot more weight than I was to win. I had felt confident. When I saw him last night, it was scary. He looked at me and smiled. I looked at him and mouthed, "Did you beat me?" After he weighed in, I had a good feeling that I was going to beat him. But I hadn't weighed [myself] in a couple of weeks. I decided, "Hey, I know what I need to do. I'm just going to focus on getting the work done. If I worry about what I weigh and hit my goal, I might slow down. I'm just going to run to the finish." I knew there was a chance he could beat me. Looking at Rudy, the guy looked amazing. I never thought he could get down that much.
What are the safety issues involved with losing this much weight this fast?
Cahill: I didn't do anything unsafe purposely. I ate a good meal plan. Food was provided for us on the ranch, as much as we wanted. Those refrigerators were packed full of food. I was sure to eat the right amounts of what I could on a safe level. The trick was burning as much as I could without damaging my body. Any athlete, like a marathon runner, after a marathon your body it gets sore and injured. When we were on the ranch, we had to make sure and listen to our bodies … As far as safety issues, I am so much more healthy now than when I was 430 pounds. And I was off blood pressure medicine within three weeks of arriving atthe ranch. My health safety increased immediately within the first week of losing all that weight and cutting my salt intake. My blood pressure stabilized. I didn't think there were huge safety issues with it.
Describe your "Biggest Loser" experience in one or two words. Explain why.
Cahill: My words would be "self found." I found myself. I had lost myself years ago. I wasn't sure why I did. I decided it was time to put away my dreams and to start a family and raise a family. I didnt realize I could do that and dream at the same time. I was wrong about that. Doing "The Biggest Loser," Bob and Jillian are incredible at getting in your head and saying, "Why don't you look at yourself and ask, 'Why are you 430 pounds?'" I had to do a lot of soul-searching and find out why I was 430 pounds. Through that process and the three months on the ranch, I found myself. I found Danny again. I found out I think you can dream and provide for your family and be a great dad and a great husband and live the dreams that I want to live.
Having so much willpower, couldn't you have lost the weight without going on TV?
Cahill: Yes I could have. In fact I ask myself that question. I got a little frustrated with myself about halfway through the show. When I noticed the body changes and looking better and being able to do more. And I started getting emails on my Facebook that said, "You've inspired me. I'm going to try out for 'The Biggest Loser.'" I thought, you kn
ow what? That's not what I intended to do. I didn't want to inspire people to try out for "The Biggest Loser." I want to inspire people to do it on their own. It got me thinking, "Why Danny? Why did you wait 15 years? Why did take 'The Biggest Loser' to do this?" I look back at all those years wasted. But at the same time, thank god for "The Biggest Loser" because without them I still might be 430 pounds. You can't put it off. You have to start now. "Oh I'll start my diet on Monday." That never works. Start right now. This minute.
Will you be pursuing more music now?
Cahill: Yes, that's definitely in my plans. In fact, the song "Second Chance" that I wrote, I've recorded. I'm excited to get it out. I've written a few songs since I've been home. My creative juices are flowing again. I went years and years without writing anything. I've found that fire and that want what I love to do, and that want is music. That is definitely going to be a huge part of my life from here on out. I plan on it. Be looking for Danny Cahill. I'm definitely going to have some music out there.
You told Jay Leno you're going to invest some of your winnings into a new carpet. Anything else?
Cahill: I am going to invest in carpet because we have no carpet. Another thing I thought, I [only] have two carry-on luggages full of my clothes. Little bitty carry-on luggage like a footlocker and a carry-on. I have no clothes … Now I [weigh] in the 190s and I'm not going any further down and I don't plan to gain it back. When I get home and my wife gets home, we're going to go shopping. I'm going to get a new wardrobe started.
Did you make any lifelong friends on the show?
Cahill: Yes I have. Sean Algaier lives 15 minutes from me, which is really strange. Two guys from Oklahoma, from Tulsa. We were sitting in the van that first day. I didn't know who he was. We found out we lived so close to each other. We just flipped out and we both have a lot in common. Rudy is definitely — I told him before the final weigh-in, I told him, "Get ready. I want my family come visit your family at your home because I want to get to know your family." I made a great friend in Liz. She's like a big sister to me. She told me I was like her brother. We will definitely be in touch for the rest of our lives. Everyone, when you go to "The Biggest Loser," there wasn't anyone on the show I didn't genuinely love … I think they all genuinely loved me back.
How are you going to keep in touch with Liz? What did you think of Shay's special Subway prize?
Cahill: Liz has been wonderful to me. I've been as supportive as I can to her. We're going to stay in touch. In fact, one of the things I had planned was renewing my vows with my wife on our anniversary this next September. Liz has promised me she was going to help me plan that. After all, she cooked for me at the ranch all the time. She even washed my sheets for me. I didn't ask her to. She just did it, she was so good to me. Liz and I are very close. She's precious to me. I just want to see her succeed in every area of her life. Shay from the get-go, she was so inspiring to me. She will tell you that from Day One that first week, I looked at her in the eyes and told her, "You are an inspiration to me." Just the fact I came in her at 430 pounds and she came in 46 pounds heavier than I did, as a woman, 30-years-old. At the ranch she did not back down, did not give up. I watched her struggle up that mountain and struggle up that ladder, falling off of it, doing the things she had to do. That inspired me. She's a huge reason I did what I did. I know Shay's going to be successful because I know Shay. Shay is a strong, strong woman. I think Shay has figured out so much about herself. She's on her way to being the best Shay she can be. My words of encouragement to Shay: Do a little bit more today than you did yesterday. She does that. She's working out with I think with five trainers.
What was it like when Liz gave you that DVD with your family on it?
Cahill: That was the most amazing experience at the ranch. That gave me goosebumps. That was not acted out. I had no idea she was giving me my video. When I walked downstairs, I was honored for her. That's what she said she was going to do: "I want you to watch my family video with me." I thought okay I'm going to actually see her husband and her family and meet them on tape and I'll get something out of too. I was also wondering why the producers were allowing this to happen. It just did not dawn on me. This didn't show up very good on the episode, but I sat down and they push play and the thing comes on and I'm looking directly at my daughter, not even recognizing who she is. And I go, "My God, Liz, your granddaughter looks just like –" And then they cut with the show and I was like, "That's my family!" They didn't put that in, but that's really what happened. I was looking at Mary Claire, thinking it was Liz's granddaughter and thinking how similar she looked to Mary. I cried. Seems like I cried forever. Of course, I probably was the biggest crier on the show.
Are there more activities you're looking forward to doing now that you couldn't when you were heavier?
Cahill: Yes, there's so many things. One of my goals was to start a martial arts class with my kid David. He always wanted to do karate. I thought that would be a great way to maintain and stay in shape and do something with my son. All these years that have gone by, all I could ever do with my son was play video games. I could never go hiking with him, go fishing with him, go hunting with him, do those things. Since I've been back, and been in shape, we've been paintballing, crawling through the woods playing paintball together. We've done camping, which I couldn't do before. Rockclimbing, doing all kinds of things. It's been really fun to be able to do all those physical things that we haven't been able to do. I can't wait to go fishing in a pond in a boat again or in an intertube … I even mentioned that whenever Christmas time comes, my wife would have to get on the ladder to put the lights up on the house because they don't make a ladder that handles 450 pounds. Well this year, I'm putting the lights up. That's one thing I'm going to do.
Speaking of the holidays, will you indulge in any holiday treats?
Cahill: I think it's important. Jillian came home to work me out and see how I was doing and surprised me after I had come home from the ranch. After we worked out in the gym I had a little bit of a breakdown. She talked to me, "Listen, the ranch is a tool. It is there to teach you how to deal with these things, but it's not the end-all be-all [sic]. We had a little counseling session after a lot of sweat and tears. She said, "What are you craving? What food?" And I said, "I've been craving pizza." She took me to a pizza parlor that I had loved and I ate a piece of pizza. It was thick, deep-dish sausage piece of pizza. She wouldn't eat the pizza, but she bought a piece of cheesecake with fudge and chocolate on it and caramel, drizzled all over it. I watched Jillian Michaels eating cheesecake. She did it to make a point. She said, "Danny, I'm not telling you never to eat pizza again. Just don't eat the whole pizza. You have to give yourself treats that you enjoy." She said one of the best days she ever had with Bob Harper was one day they at candy and watched movies all afternoon. Then they worked out really hard and went back to the store and bought more candy and ate candy again. She said, "Doing that here and there is not going to kill you, but you've got to know that you can't do it all the time." That really taught me a lesson. So yeah, on Christmas I am going to have a glass of eggnog. I'm going to have a Chr
istmas cookie, but I'm just not going to have a plateful of Christmas cookies and whole half gallon of eggnog.
Do you have any New Year's resolutions?
Cahill: My New Year's resolution actually is going to keep in the gym. I've made that resolution early. When I get home from New York City here tomorrow [Thursday] evening, Friday I'm back in the gym. I've made it a point that in the next 30 days — except for Sundays — I'm going to spend at least an hour at the gym. My post-"Biggest Loser" resolution is to keep in the gym for at least 30 days every day until I work out a schedule and keep accountable with my wife. We're going to be accountable to each other. We're going to have weekly weigh-ins. Every Saturday morning we're going to get up and weigh in together. I've got "The Biggest Loser" scale, but not the big one we get on [on the show]. I got a little "Biggest Loser" scale in my bathroom, and I've used it religiously.
Anything you'd like to do or say for people out there?
Cahill: I'm looking forward to taking what I learned on "Biggest Loser" and giving it to others. As many people that watch "The Biggest Loser," there are so many people who don't. I didn't even watch it for the first two seasons because I thought it was a show that made fun of fat people. I didn't know what it was about. I thought, "How dare them [sic] do that?" There are a lot of people out there who are like that who need help and need information. For me to take that information that was so genuinely given to me, and this chance I was given and to hoard it and not sow that seed … I wanna sow that seed. What happens when you sow seeds? You reap a harvest. I wanna be Farmer Danny reaping a harvest of weight loss across the nation.
Are you going to keep the brown hair?
Cahill: You know what? Yeah, I think I am. I actually liked my grey hair. And whenever we went to the makeover, I walked into the salon saying, "I am not going to let them color my hair. I know they're going to want to, and I'm not going to let them do it." I walked in and Tabatha [Coffey] ran her fingers in my hair. She said, "I'm thinking I'm going to color your hair." I go "Okay" and gave in like a kid. I got so mad. I said, "Why didn't I fight harder?" And then Bob got mad. I came back to the ranch and went, "What happened to your salt and pepper I loved your salt and pepper." But when I got home I thought if the grey started growing in, I wasn't going to color it again. But then my 10-year-old son said, "You know, dad, I think you should. I think it really makes you look good." So that was the straw. I said, "Okay, I'm going coloring my hair again and I'm not going to stop now." I like it. It just makes me feel young. It makes me look young and makes me feel a lot better. I'm going to keep the dark hair.

Need help deciding on substrate for new tank
Hey guys,
I am setting up a new 40gallon tank and I wanted a black sand substrate and was looking at what is available at the stores and found one that I like. But my question is will it be plant friendly?
The substrate that I'm considering is CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon Gravel or Eco-Complete Planted Black.
Anyone using one of these with plants? Your input will be very helpful in my decision. Thanks!
Tahitian moon sand,is sharp product and would not be what I would choose if bottom dwelling fishes such as loaches,cory's or pleco's were to be placed over it . Also contains no clay,or nutrient's I don't believe.
I use Eco-Complete Black in my 5g and 125g and I love it.
Posted via Mobile Device
Thank you guys for helping me decide. As I might have gone the other way and had a catastrophe on my hands.

€67,000 award over ambulance crash
Published 18/01/2013 | 05:00
A MOTHER of two has been awarded just over €67,000 for injuries she received when the car she was driving was in collision with an ambulance.
Clare Nevin (25) sued ambulance driver Gerard Grant and his employers, Emergency Medical Support Services Ltd of Dun Laoghaire.
The collision happened at the junction of the Malahide Road and Oscar Traynor Road, Coolock, Dublin, on December 3, 2009.
Ms Nevin, of Killary Grove, the Donahies, Donaghmede, Dublin, was on her way to do some Christmas shopping with her sister. She had a green light in her favour when the ambulance came from Oscar Traynor Road, the court heard.
The defendants denied negligence and counter-claimed for damage to the ambulance.
They claimed Ms Nevin was travelling at excessive speed and did not keep a proper lookout for their vehicle, which they said had its flashing blue lights and siren on.
Ms Nevin denied that she was speeding and said there were no sirens or lights on.
Ms Justice Mary Irvine yesterday awarded her €84,376 but reduced that sum to €67,460 after finding she was guilty of 20pc contributory negligence by failing to look to her left as she went through the junction.
However, the judge was satisfied that Mr Grant was obliged to drive with reasonable care when there was a red light against him and not "simply plough on through" a junction.
The greater amount of responsibility for this collision lay with Mr Grant, she said.
She was satisfied that while the blue flashing light was on, the siren was not.
The crash left Ms Nevin with a number of injuries, including a broken wrist, broken knee-cap and fractured sternum. She had also been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress.
In relation to the defendants' counter-claim, she awarded them €1,300 for damage to the ambulance.

For the second time in two years, the American Academy of Pediatrics is calling for doctors to scale back the use of palivizumab prophylaxis when it comes to treating RSV in infants.
Respiratory syncytial virus , or RSV, is a common lung infection that most kids come into contact with by age two. It's usually nothing too serious; inflammation in the lungs causes a wheezing sound and results in other cold symptoms like a runny nose, cough or fever. However, RSV is also the leading culprit behind pneumonia, and up to 125,000 infants are hospitalized with it each year.
Because RSV is rarely serious, and because neonatal care has improved leaps and bounds, the AAP is narrowing its guidelines for the use of the drug palivizumab, sold under the brand name Synagis by MedImmune. Plus, research shows that only very young preemies benefit from the drugs. So the scope of the new guidelines is essentially limited to them: "palivizumab prophylaxis [should] be limited to infants born before 29 weeks gestation, and to infants with certain chronic illnesses like congenital heart disease or chronic lung disease."
This is change from the previous guidelines — in place since 1998 — which recommended the drug for preemies up to 35 weeks. Studies show that palivizumab, which is administered in seasonal injections, can slightly reduce the risk of RSV hospitalization in "high risk" or premature infants. But it doesn't reduce the duration of hospital visits that do occur, or the risk of long-term complications. Still, spokesperson Alisha Martin says parent company MedImmune placed full-page ads in The New York Times challenging the AAP because they "felt it important to inform parents - including the half-a-million women who give birth prematurely each year - of the decisions being made that could impact the lives of their children."
But for those older premature children without chronic illnesses, the AAP recommends less drastic measures like "offering breast milk, immunizing members of the household against influenza, practicing good hand and cough hygiene, avoiding smoke exposure, limiting attendance in large group child care during the first winter season whenever possible, and avoiding contact with anyone who is ill."
Has your child contracted a serious bout of RSV?
