Isis rebrands mobile wallet as Softcard
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Software
The folks behind the Isis Wallet recently announced that the company would rebrand and change its name due to the rise of the ISIS Middle Eastern terrorist group in the public eye. A great decision to be sure, the company announced today that the Isis Wallet will shortly be known as Softcard. An app update will be pushed to the various app stores where Isis Wallet is available within a few weeks, and Softcard will take its place. No word on any new features at this time, as the company is looking to swiftly get the name change in place to distance itself from the militant group of a similar moniker.

Standalone Kinect for Xbox One launches in October for $150
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Hardware, Kinect, Microsoft, Xbox One
When Microsoft removed Kinect from the lower-end Xbox One bundle (making the promise of what Kinect would be go up in smoke,) it also announced that it would make the Kinect sensor for Xbox One available as a standalone purchase for anyone who might want to add it to their console after purchasing one without it, but never announced a date. Now we know that the Kinect for Xbox One will be available in stores in October, and will cost $150.
It makes sense that Microsoft would offer Kinect separately, but the extra $50 that it's taking on to the price may made it a dud out of the gate, but hey, at least now the fact that you can get an Xbox One with Kinect for $100 more appears to be a $50 savings. For what it's worth, the Kinect will be packed in with a copy of Dance Central Spotlight, which is probably the main Kinect game that people really care about in the first place.
That said--who's planning on buying one?

4 Ways to Protect Yourself from Laptop Theft
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, PC / Laptop, Software
As we close out Device Theft Awareness Month, we wanted to talk about laptop security. We've already covered the device theft statistics, alongside a bunch of ways to protect yourself from smartphone theft. Some may argue that notebooks are even more of a danger to lose than a smartphone, due to the vast amount of personal data stored on them that can be lost or fall into the wrong hands, as well as the cost of replacement. Let's talk about some of the ways to protect both your investment and your data.
1. Password protect your computer. Regardless of whether you use a PC, Mac, or Linux, you have the option of settings up a lock screen barrier where you'll need to enter a password, custom swipe, image touch, or other secure option. It's a small step that some may find to be an annoyance, but it's an easy (and free) first line of defense in case someone is able to snatch up your device.

4 Ways to Protect Yourself from Smartphone Theft
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, PC / Laptop, Software
As we mentioned last week, we're celebrating Device Theft Awareness Month in conjunction with Absolute LoJack. We gave you a rundown of just how big a problem device theft is nowadays, with over 3 million people becoming victims of smartphone theft just last year alone. It's a growing problem that you can protect yourself from, and this week we wanted to share three tips that you can do to avoid permanently losing your device or data in the event of loss.
1. Create a passcode for your device. This is a simple method of protecting the data that lives on your device in the event of loss or theft. Some Android devices will allow you to set a pattern instead of an alphanumeric code, and the iPhone 5s and later lets you use Touch ID fingerprint recognition. Any of these are a better option than not protecting the home screen of your device, which will let prying eyes get to anything on your product.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- No. 6 North Carolina used goals from Jonathan Campbell and Mikey Lopez to roll to a 2-0 road win at Clemson Friday night.
Jonathan Campbell notched his first career goal with less than 10 minutes to play in the first half.
After the Tar Heels earned a free kick 35 yards from goal, Cameron Brown stepped up and struck a low ball on target.
Clemson's Cody Mizell was able to get in front of the effort but the rebound skipped to a waiting Campbell who headed home the goal and put Carolina in front 1-0.
Carolina went into the break with a 6-5 shot advantage after controlling possession in the first 45 minutes.
Sophomore Mikey Lopez made a two-goal lead for the Tar Heels early into the second half thanks a tremendous individual effort.
Lopez corralled a ball in the midfield and found some open space before unleashing a shot from 30 yards out. The effort curled into the upper left 90 of the goal as Mizell was unable to get to the ball. For Lopez, it was his second goal of the year.
Clemson mounted a charge in the 63rd minute when goalkeeper Scott Goodwin came up with the save of the night.
Preston Gayton found the ball on the right side of the 18-yard box and was one-on-one with Goodwin. Gayton fired and Goodwin was able to get in front of the try. The rebound found Clemson's Paul Clowes at the top of the box.
Clowes fired the second shot just wide of the target and out for a goal kick.
The physical match saw three yellow cards and a red card issued to the Tigers in the final five minutes of action alone. Both teams combined for 30 fouls on the night as the Tar Heels fought for their fifth-straight win.
Carolina runs its conference unbeaten streak to 15 straight matches and have not lost an ACC regular season match their last 12 times out.
Up next for the Tar Heels is a visit from Davidson on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. at Fetzer Field.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Bruce L. Z28
"R" lead
Hey guys,
Just wanted to say thanks. Just found this site and you answered my question. Changing my 1973 from a standard starter to a high torque and I have the same issue.
This is a great site......
Thanks again.
Bruce L.
|I just wanted to say thanks for all of your help everyone. After running a new wire from the ignition switch to the solenoid, and now getting over 11V to the solenoid. It fired up and it appears my issues are resolved. Thanks once again for all your help.
|Thanks guys. I'm planning on working on this tonight. I'll see what i come up with.
Doc here,
If you are reading 12 volts at the Ignition Input, and only 9 volts out the "S" or start position With nothing else connected<---Read) The switch is No good..A totally dead battery reads 11 volts and below usually around 10.5
If your reading it at the wire "Ends" you may have the wrong wire hooked up to the "S" at the solenoid, the "R" or "I" wire feeding back through an ignition resistor...
If the switch input also is not dropping to 9 volts, but remaining at 12 volts, then you have confirmed the switch is bad...
be sure the "s" and "r" or "I" wires are disconnected while you test (no load).
The system itself is so simple, only a few things can go wrong...
Here is your typical wire diagram..If the wires ar as advertised and go to those specific locations, and the ground is proven good..then it can only be the switch or a mis-wire..
We know the solenoid is good as it runs fine in "Jump" mode..
We do not know the status of the neutral safety switches, reading the thread, no one checked..but for right now lets skip those...because you say you are getting 4 to 9 volts from the key...in start.
Assuming the whole starter functions properly in start mode, "jumped" we can eliminate the starter..
The only other thing it could be is a bad switch..socking the current out across bad contacts...
OK, well let me tell you while I ask you that question.
Lets say you have a poor connection before the ignition switch (in the feed). Your true voltage does not show up without any current draw. So if you had 12 volts at the input of the switch without any load and you turned the key to start and it dropped to the same 9 volts you see on the output of the switch, then your bad connection would be in the feed to the switch. You WILL see a small amount of drop but not to 9 volts if everything is as it should be.
Replacing the purple wire based on your previous description sounds like a good idea. But that is not causing the 9 volt problem. You either have a bad switch or you are not getting a good feed to it.
Hello again,
When i tested the voltage at the input of the switch, it was not while it was in the cranking position. I'll be back at it tomorrow and I'll be sure and test that first.
I'm also going to run a new wire from the ignition switch clear down to the solenoid just to clean things up a bit. If it still isn't enough, I'll take your advise and look for a new ign.switch. I'll post results tomorrow. Thanks.
Thats too much voltage drop across the switch if the feed is good.
Let me ask you this before I say replace the switch.
Is that 12 volts you measured at the input of the switch while cranking? If not, we still dont know for sure.
As a test, jump the 12v input at the switch to the purple. If it starts then, replace the switch.
Thanks again for all your input.
OK, this is what i found.
1. Jumping the starter worked , and turned the motor over no problem, so I assume my ground is good.
2. Ignition switch ( at the key ), the hot actually has 12Volts to it.
3. The Purple Wire coming out of the ignition switch has about 9 Volts (when turnign the car in cranking position) and is the wire that goes to the Solenoid. . Will that be sufficient ? If 9Volts is not going to work out, I assume i do need to replace the Ignition switch. However, Here is where the bigger problems come into play.
Next, the Purple wire splits into a stock plastic like wire harness or whatever you want to call itat the firewall, and from one side of the firewall to the other, i am losing a few volts. It's reading 6.5 Volts ( not in the car underneath the dash, , but on the other side of the firewall out at the engine compartment). The connectors are old and aged, but not rusted in any way. Then i have 2 other splices that i must be losing a bit of Voltage as well, causing only 4 Volts by the time it reaches the solenoid.
would i be better offto run a entire new wire from my ignition switch all the way to the Solenoid?
You will see a slight amount of voltage drop at the solenoid depending on the solenoid coil draw and size of wire that you are feeding it with. 4 volts is way to low.
I think you will find that when you jump the starter its going to crank over fine.
At this point, I would say you have bad wiring, ignition switch or neutral safety (if you have an automatic).
Don't worry about the voltage coming from the old R line. Not sure what mods you have made but you are just getting backfeed from the ignition circuit.
Well, I just got back from checking a few things. While underneath the car, I had someone turn the key to try and start it. The bendix comes out and meshes into the flywheel gears about 1/4 of the way.
I also used a multi meter to test the voltage at the sylenoid ( ignition wire ), during an attempt to start it up, and the voltage on the sylenoid terminal is showing 4.1 volts. Shouldn't this be much higher?
I tested the Main Positive terminal on the starter (+ from battery down to the starter and on the starter end it does read 12.4volts, so I believe that is as it should be.
I also tested the wire that is no longer being used that came from the "r" side of the solenoid when attempting to start it up and it's also showing closer to 3 Volts. When the key is on this wire has continuous power so i'm sure my wires are correct.
I'll head back and drop the car to the ground, and I'll sqweeze in there and cross the starter to see if it will fire. I belive it will having 12Volts opposed to 4. Thanks.
Thanks. I'll give that a try here today as that's about the only thing i haven't tried yet.
I still would try jumping the battery post term on the solenoid to the start terminal just to check and see before you pull it out and shim it. Such an easy thing to do.
At the point your video shows the starter should be spinning. Normally the bendix drives out much harder than that. Remember that its not allows going to hit the flywheel aligned every time. It could be a half tooth off and needs to have enough torque to drive in and mesh.
Give the jump test a try. A starter gear extending out is a pretty violent movement. Not like what yours is showing.
Well i went ahead and had the starter tested and it works fine. It's making a clicking noise, and i took a video if what it's actually doing. If you have high speed internet it's here: http://www.rapidnet.com/~desavedo . I'm almost convinced that i need to shim the starter as when the starter gear trie's to engage, i think it may be hitting the flywheel. I'll test the voltage at the solenoid tomrrow when in cranking position and shim it if needed and see what i come up with. Thanks all for the help. I'll post results this weekend sometime and hopefully it's good news
wow! I just realized my vid is 42mb., so probably scratch that idea. anyways, I'll definatley be on the forums again this weekend. Thanks Again.
I misread the part about you testing the voltage with a light to the coil. I thought you meant at the solenoid. My mistake.
Regardless, the lack of voltage at the coil (normal or not) has nothing to do with the starter not making noise. You can leave the coil completely out of it at this point as it has nothing to do with step ONE which is the starter turning over. Votlage to the coil is Step #2 and comes after the motor turns over.
So if your Motor and Starter is well grounded, has a good 12 volts to the starter via the battery cable and is still NOT clicking over and making noise, you need to find out why the starter is not engaging. Either a starter/solenoid issue or the wire coming from the ignition is not applying enough power.
When you say slight noise... Is this like a solenoid click and nothing else?
If you can, try jumping the Big battery terminal on the started to the "s" terminal and see if it turns over.
Doc here,
If you were going through a resistor, and the points were closed or the lamp filament were high enough in resistance.. the weak light would be normal..If not , then it's a problem to track down..
If you HAVE not been using it..and it ran fine .. don't even bother with it..
However, If it won't start while cranking, then yes .. get a relay, ground one side of the relay coil, run the other to, and parallel into the "S" wire..this will fire the relay when you hit "start" ...
The contacts on the relay Cw and NO will hook up to the battery or main terminal on the solenoid, and the "R" wire..In this manner, when the car is in "Start" ,( you will notice everything normally cuts off electrically during start..)The Relay will fire when you hit start, and close a set of contacts and complete a circuit between the battery, and the ignition resistor..to insure it will start in Crank mode. and subside when you let off the key..
First of all the "R" wire has nothing to do with the ability to crank.
The S wire is the "trigger wire" that fires the solenoid. Doc, is 100% correct as usual but let me put it in other words.
The OEM starter is HOT all the time. This is the large battery cable in the center. The "s" terminal is just a solenoid wire that engages the starter. The "R" wire is a "hot shot" wire that provides a FULL 12 volts back to the coil during cranking and in reality bypasses the voltage drop resistor that powers the coil in the normal run position.
So if you are lacking power to that wire during cranking and you are POSITIVE that its the correct wire that should be on the S terminal, you need to backtrack the wire and find out where it is losing power. It goes back to the ignition switch via a Neutral safety (in the case of an automatic trans).
This wire should have a full 12 volts and your test light should be as bright as if it was connected direct to the battery.

The dead bees could have been caused from several things, bees gotoo hot in the vac, vac sucking too hard and tumbled the bees to death, honey soaked bees will stick together and sort of drown and/or over heat. G3
Meadlover. You don't think the vent to the vac was not open enough and made the vac to strong, slaming them around to much, do you ?
a trap out will work in a couple of days if they just moved in. They have no food and will leave quickly. The queen will likely not go in the trap box, so you need to have the owner watching. She will land on a nearby tree or bush, a a normal swarm. You can then drop them into the hive as you would a swarm.
Sometimes bees will ingest a bunch of honey if the hive is full up with honey. The bees may then regurgitate in the inner box and you're left with a sticky mess of mostly dead bees. Sometimes its better using the vac sparingly if at all.You may have not done anything wrong, but perhaps over used the vac....JP
So what is the status of your cutout now?Have you got enough bees to look after the brood comb or did you lose them also?I hope that you ended up with something for all your effortsMick
ML, you actually have another option on this colony that just moved in. If you infiltrate the void space with something like beequick (the one I would recommend) from the backside of the void space, you could get them to leave on their own. This would essentially be a forced trap out, not necessarily requiring the catch box to contain eggs/brood. They are more inclined to leave especially so if there is little or no brood in the void space now.BTW, I have done this very thing I have suggested on a few very young colonies. I joust them out and induce a swarm. I did one this past season, set up a swarm trap and after the swarm was evicted from a brick exterior/sheet rock interior wall, they went into the trap, along with the queen....JP
We need a photo of the vacuum. Go here, http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j226/Iddee/BEE%20VAC/, and to Robo's site, and build one like one of them. They are the two best there are.
PS. The SHB will have them dead by Friday. You need to get back before that. Like NOW!!!
I modified the link. It seems to be working now.I wouldn't combine them. I would just bring them home where I could monitor them daily and maybe use an SHB trap, or remove SHB larva and eggs.
PS. The SHB will have them dead by Friday. You need to get back before that. Like NOW!!!We need a photo of the vacuum.
you can shake a frame of workers from your strong hive, into your cutout hive. just make sure you don't shake your queen in :-)
Meadlover. Well documented with all of the great pictures, :lol: except for the last one. :'(
I think you missed this in the 1st reply.>>>>Combine on site and let settle til dark.Just pour the bees into the brood box.<<<<

stopped and got some more weights today. picked up 2-2.4 oz, 1-12 oz, and the bolt weighed 19.2 oz per scale at ups store. haven't decided how to place or which to use yet, but here are some ideas.
this pic shows length difference from pistol to new ones.
these would add almost 5 oz to bolt.
or this one could be welded to the end of bolt and slotted to accommodate the fp and guide rod.

And I wonder how many on this forum (if not a beekeeper) would pay the thousand dollars, or would of sprayed them. ;)
I'd have to say about a 3 hour job, if that.$333.33 dollars per hour.Of course, I think I counted three beekeepers. So maybe it's like 111.11 per hour per beekeeper.Must be a California thing. Like a blond joke. How many beekeepers does it take to hold a bee vac? For one board removed and sucking up some bees, that's a good paying job. Not sure if the beekeeper was over charging, or the girls were idiots. Guess I'm just disappointed. Like the mother said "a thousand dollars, to suck up some bees!"I hope when we see people spraying bees, we should at least realize that perhaps they did in fact call a beekeeper, and sprayed them after they were quoted a thousand dollar estimate.And I wonder how many on this forum (if not a beekeeper) would pay the thousand dollars, or would of sprayed them. ;)
I have done more difficult cut outs than that for way WAY cheaper. They only pulled one board off of the wall and nailed it back on. I wonder if they saved any of the brood?Kind of disappointing, had rather watch JP and Schwa anyway.At least the guy was a beek and not the bug spray hack, he even has a website up and running.
what town was it in and what was the guys name--RDY-B
Quote from: rdy-b on January 09, 2011, 01:20:37 AMwhat town was it in and what was the guys name--RDY-BI'm pretty sure this is it.....http://www.livingbees.com/
They really did not show very much of it. Fella came out looked aruond and told them a couple hundred to remove the bees, a couple hundred to remove the comb and a couple hundred to nail a board back on. If he was there three hours it was because he was chatting it up. The dog rescue people got ripped off in my opinion.
3 workers at 80 to 100 an hour -which is the commercial rate for most things-and Imo sure the production company required these things

text: American Teacher film opens American Teacher, a new documentary about teachers, has beenreleased in theaters across the United States. The film includes valuable perspectives on the education profession and the experiences and challenges of teachers in America's classrooms. The NEA notes the following: "American Teacher, a new full-length documentary film opening nationwide on September 30, seeks to counteract popular misconceptions about the teaching profession by showing, in a style of close-up realism, what teachers actually do and what their lives are really like — and how continued neglect of the profession may be jeopardizing the nation's future." Narrated by Matt Damon, directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Vanessa Roth and produced by Ninive Caligari and Dave Eggars, the film is part of the Teacher Salary Project and is based on the book, Teachers Have it Easy: The Big Sacrifices and Small Salaries of America's Teachers. The film portrays five K-12 public school educators from across the country as they navigate the daily challenges of balancing their teaching careers with their personal lives. The film will run until Oct. 6 at the AMC Theater on 42nd Street in Manhattan. It then will be shown across the country in various locations. NEA is encouraging its local and state affiliates, as well as members, to consider hosting community-based screenings of the film, to be followed by panel discussions or open forums on the important issue of teachers' working conditions, which translate to students' learning conditions. To organize a screening, visit: http://www.theteachersalaryproject.org/screening.php.

Well, it's not really a 1911 - It is still a polymer .45 of HK's design.
Anyway, I didn't include it because no one here in the US has one yet :mrgreen:
I've got a P9S. :mrgreen:Quote:

USP -One the List
P7 off list :smt068
Since there's no provision to vote for either the P9s or any of the P7 models, had to choose between the P2000sk or the Elite. I went with the Elite. It's nicer to shoot than my standard USP and more accurate than my P2ksk. Also, the packaging with my Elite (factory aluminum case) gave it a bit of an edge it needed. Still prefer my squuezers.
I can't vote for any of them as I have never shot any of them. I'll just say they all have some good and they all have some bad. Sound like a politican now don't I. I listen to j.kerry once to often.
USP-c .357 Sig.
None of the above
Looks like the HK USP compact wins :)
P7M8........P7M8.......P7M8........P7M8........etc .
Could be a write-in winner. Come on P7 fans.

I'm heading to Kyrgyzstan later this year to begin a 4 month TEFL internship with the London School in Bishkek. This is for people with no TEFL qualification, and from what I can gather it doesn't really provide a proper TEFL qualification either - though they do offer 2 weeks teacher training and several workshops throughout the 4 months. The additional perks are free accommodation, a small stipend and very cheap, private Russian lessons, plus being in Kyrgyzstan, which is somewhere I'm really eager to get to!
My question is, would it also be worth doing an online TEFL course so that I have a qualification as well as the internship. I realise that many institutions do not value these online courses alone as there's no hands-on experience, but would the two together be as strong as a class-based TEFL qualification? Or would the internship be enough to progress, despite not getting an 'internationally recognised' piece of paper?

my concern is that this will be like the Mohamed cartoons. people will die because this guy wants to make a point. will it be worth it if one of our kids, or husbands/wives, etc. are killed while traveling? will it be worth it if more of our soldiers are killed.in fact, i think this will threaten many of us. i agree they are idiots to react the way they do, but if they prove they are idiots by killing one of my own, this pastor's right to free speech won't make my family member any less dead.
>>>>In Afghanistan, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned Quran burning.<<<<Why didn't we hear the same type of uproar about this??
if the government were to step in to stop the book burning, i would draw the line there. this is less about rights than about wisdom. no one is debating the pastors right to burn the Koran. thing is, it's an action purely designed to provoke. it does not further the cause of freedom, nor does it do any damage to radical Islam. i can go out back and poke a stick at a rattlesnake, but why would i do it? i already know it will just get pee'd off, and i might get hurt.
No, No I completely concede that it was unwise to burn the korans.The problem is and the question was: Every time Radical Islam rears its fugly head - the price is always a huge bargain, just a tiny piece of your freedom to do as you wish with your rights in your own country in exchange for the lives of others. The question isn't about this time - the question is never about this time because it's a bargain every time: surrender a tiny bit of freedom + never think of doing it again = lots of random lives saved.When does that bargain become too much? (yes - I DO believe that a freedom unused is a useless freedom.)
It is ALSO free speech for other people to ask them to stop being so stupid and to consider the vulnerability of others affected by their proposed actions.
Why would we consider it "freedom" to burn another religion's holy books?
In fact a whole pile of Bibles (and american flags) has been burned in the Muslim world in the past week in response to the THREAT of burning a koran.
I think THAT is where the debate needs to be. Hopefully people are paying attention to fact that people are going to try to shoot us with an shotgun for threatening them with a spitball.
these rights, these freedoms also carry with them responsibility
I see extremist Christians, you know the ones who think it's ok to terrorize and kill people who don't fit in to their 'good book's' way of doing things, like abortion doctors, people who dance.
That's where my mom would ask you if you WANT to be just like the other guy, or if you're trying to be better.
Statistics can say just about anything you want them to say. my point was extremism is more the problem than Muslims.

A crane has collapsed on the cabinet office in Westminster after the St Jude's Day Storm battered the capital with high winds and driving rain.
A Cabinet Office spokeswoman said its staff have all been evacuated while the extent of the damage caused by the crane is assessed and that none were injured in the incident, which happened at around 6.50am.
"As is the case with many other buildings in storm-affected areas, and despite the necessary preparations, there has been some damage to the Cabinet Office building," she said.
"A crane at the back of the Cabinet Office was dislodged by the storm, and is currently resting on the roof. We are assessing the damage, and the building has been evacuated while we do so.
"Many staff can log on and work flexibly from the Treasury building or from other locations and we are exploring other temporary options.
"We are working hard to ensure the safety of our staff and minimum disruption to operations."
The incident came as a weather system from the Atlantic hammered Britain with high winds. The highest recorded wind speed was on the Isle Of Man, which saw a gust of 99mph.
Elsewhere 220,000 people were left without power after electricity lines came down across the south of England.

Miami University scored 17 straight runs to overcome an early 5-0 deficit en route to a 20-11 win over the Canisius baseball team on Friday afternoon. The Golden Griffins see their eight-game winning streak come to an end and fall to 10-4 on the season.
The Griffs batted around in the top of the third, starting the inning with the first four batters reaching base. Junior Connor Panas singled and freshman Christ Conley was hit by a pitch. Senior Jose Torralba followed with an RBI double and senior Ronnie Bernick then had a two-RBI single. The Griffs then used a two-out triple from senior Shane Zimmer and a two-out single from sophomore Brett Siddall to take a 5-0 lead.
Miami would score the next 17 runs in the game. The Redhawks scored three runs in the third and fourth innings, one more in the fifth and then scored 10 runs in the sixth inning to break the game wide open. Gary Russo went 4-for-5 with four runs scored and six RBI while Max Andersen was 5-for-6 with four RBI for Miami
Conley reached base in all five of his plate appearances, going 2-for-2 with two runs scored, two walks and an HBP. Siddall was 3-for-4 with two RBI while Panas was 2-for-5 with three RBI.
Freshman Zachary Trumpler made his first career start and allowed three runs in 2.2 innings. Senior Mike Tolsma (2-1) took the loss by allowing four runs on eight hits in 2.1 innings. Freshman Michael Ginther made his Canisius debut and got the final two outs of the game.
Canisius will play two games on day two of the Flyer Classic on Saturday. Canisius faces Dayton at noon and then plays a neutral-site game against Miami at 4 p.m. Both games will be played at Woerner Field at Time Warner Cable Stadium.
Game Notes: Canisius and Miami met for the fourth time. The teams played two in 2012 and once in 1990. The Redhawks have won all four meetings… Torralba batted in the leadoff spot in the order for the first time since April 29, 2012… Canisius batted around twice in the game and six times on the season… Puscheck saw his 11-game hitting streak come to an end but drew two walks to extend his consecutive games streak of reaching base to 18 games… In the last five games, Conley is 10-for-17… In the last six games, Siddall is 12-for-21 with 12 RBI… Senior Jimmy Luppens extended his hitting streak to eight games… The 20 runs were the most allowed in a loss since a 26-1 loss to Radford on March 7, 2009.

We have the same issue. She is not pulling her hair out, it's just receding(?). It started after k9 advantix now vet things allergies.
We switched her to wellness core ocean and she loves it,but has not changed anyone.
|I'm pretty sure the ideal is 40 to 60%. 18 seems really low. I have noticed more itching with Indie lately - she's not tearing out her coat or anything severe, but it seems more frequent that she stops what she's doing and scratches various parts for a half minute or so. I just switched her to Diamond Naturals after a months-long struggle to find something she liked. Now I'm trying to figure out if it's the dry winter air (we have NG heat too) or the food. I hope not the food since it seems to be the only one she really likes. I haven't checked my humidity level in the house lately - maybe I should.
Severe Itching - Acceptable Humidity Levels?
This is a piggy back to my earlier post about fur loss here. I've never bothered to look at a humidistat in my house (I have a few on the wall) but last glance it said 18%. I'm wondering if this is the cause of severe itching?
I installed them because our daylight basement tends to run on the high side of humidity and I have a dehumidifier that keeps it ~50%, but even that is showing 20%.
Dollies itching and scratching seems to be in the fall-winter which is our driest season, even though it has been very wet here.
We have n.g heat and keep the house pretty warm and our house is so air tight that if the damper in the fireplace is open we smell ash throughout the first floor.
I'm starting to wonder. What is considered an acceptable range for humidity?

Carl Jenkinson's international debut on Wednesday night created a new Club record.
The defender's first England appearance - as a second-half substitute against Sweden in Stockholm - took to 28 the number of full internationals on Arsenal's books.

Reviews of this property
Unser Aufenthalt in Achims Appartement war super.
Alles super sauber und alles was man braucht ist vorhanden.
Außerdem war Achim ein sehr netter,freundlicher Gastgeber.
So war es perfekt ... wir kommen wieder.
This appartement in köln is great. It is very close to the main station and the city center. Everything is reachable by foot. It was a very pleasant place to be in the city and we would definitely go back there. The host Achim provides you with everything you will need. He is a very generous and friendly host. The appartement itself is clean and pleasant to be in. It made our stay absolutely wonderful. Thank you very much Achim and until next time.. ;)
Great place! Clean, neat and equipped with all the things you need. When I'm going to Cologne, this is the place where I'm going to stay.
Thanks for having us Achim!
We had a very pleasant stay in a very well-situated apartment in the center of Cologne (5 minutes walk to the Cathedral) The apartment is clean and equipped with everything necessary - with attention to detail ... The host was friendly and accommodating - a very nice touch ! If we look again soon in Cologne accommodation, we will contact you in any case ...!
Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in einem hervorragend gelegenen Apartment in der Kölner Innenstadt ( 5 Minuten Fußweg zum Dom ) Das Appartement ist sauber und mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet - mit Liebe zum Detail...Der Gastgeber war freundlich und entgegenkommend - ein sehr netter Kontakt!!

Excellent communication with the owner, easy to contact with him by email before my trip and on my arrival I just call him and at the appointed time he was waiting for me. He even offered me some very useful information, restaurants advice, and indications to nearest supermarket and coffee and pastry place for breakfast.
The apartment is comfortable and tidy and mainly it´s really central located. In less than five minutes walking you are at the central train station and in 2 more minutes you are at the cathedral. By the way, free wifi was offered by the owner, thanks for it. I will repeat my stay.
Apartment located in a strategic position of the city, I had a great time! a few steps from the central station and the Cathedral. Clean and well equipped, nothing was missing! The owner very kind and very helpful. I'll be back for sure.
Appartamento situato in una posizione strategica della citta, mi sono trovata benissimo ! a due passi dalla stazione centrale e dalla Cattedrale.
Pulito e ben attrezzato, non mancava nulla! Il proprietario gentilissimo e molto disponibile. Tornerò di sicuro.
It's a convenient apartment closely located to the main train station, only 5 min walk away. The position keeps you in walking distance to shops and all major tourist attractions in central city. We had a good time, even had a few swims in the rhine river. Apartment has everything you would need for a couple to stay self sufficiently. No problems for us whatsoever. Danke Achim, die Wohnung hatte alles um unseren Aufenthalt in Koeln bequem und angenehm zu machen.

... different business format.
Some manufacturers price the engines at very low prices with the intent of gaining market share; this market share then becomes a captive audience for their parts/spares which are greatly overpriced and coded so as not to make it easy to find aftermarket replacements. Very much like the consumer printer/fax market, they practically give the hardware away but then you must pay for the toner/ink at a very high price/manufacturer margin.
BETAMARINE does not get into price wars to gain acceptance by the builders so you pay more on initial purchase but you can get parts at the local KUBOTA tractor dealer for decent prices (without the "Marine" mark up). We give you the KUBOTA part numbers and you are free to buy where ever you get the best pricing. Of course, we sell all parts and we have to compete with the market at large.
Also, BETAMARINE has chosen the re power niche. And when you order we can match the Atomic 4 engine mount foot print ... for example.
BETAMARINE is an OEM option on some vessels like CaboRico.
Georgellop: I agree on the stuffing box issue, I talked to a lot of mechanics and old-timers and decided to go with the conventional stuffing box with the new packing flax. A side question:
Why is it that BETAMARINE is not chosen as OEM on new sailboats?
Brak, indeed, I am the dealer for BETAMARINE in South Florida.
.... Figure about 5 days work +/-. I will be back in my office tomorrow... you can either call me or I'll send you an e-mail w/information and pricing.
The main reason users recommend BETAMARINE is because their (BETAMARINE'S) niche is repowering as opposed to OEM supply. Also, they are based on KUBOTA diesels which have a top notch reputation...
... gald to help. Thanks.
JouvertSpirit... for what is worth, I think you did good by keeping the conventional stuffing box. I believe the dripless seals are a product well engineered but when you loose cooling water to them (which is not supposed to happen ) you might be facing catastrophic consequences.
... been there done that ....!
I am guessing by your signature you work for Beta marine? What is that product someone mentioned that is a good replacement for A4? And what's that cost?
Also, though I realize this is all subject to specific conditions of the boat, what would be the professional installation cost? If you can't give me the price for whatever reason - just a ballpark number of work-hours would do, I can multiply it by whatever labor rate here happens to be

Regardless, you will be having to deal with installation whether you choose a used/rebuilt or new engine.

I am in the process of repowering my Pearson 10M with a new Yanmar 3YM20. The old engine is a two cylinder Farymann. I plan to keep the original fuel tank (SS), fuel lines, Racor filter and raw water strainers, control levers and cables, shaft and prop. Will have to go to larger exhaust hose, and modify the stringer beds a little. Boat comes out of the water early next week and I expect to have it running within 7 days with the new engine. I know this is not the same as going from gas to diesel.
I'm taking before and after pictures and will keep the group posted on the progress. I know there will be unexpected problems that will have to be dealt with.
I debated for a while on using a dripless stuffing box but finally decided to go conventional.
Repowering a sailboat is an easy project as long as you can remove the old engine and drop the new one without having to disassemble them..
The main issues are going to be:
Engine brand/model and Reduction gear choice: Here you have to do your research and due diligence.
Once you have removed the old engine and presented the new one in its place, you will be able to tell what if any changes to the engine bed need to be made. Also the lenght of the shaft could be determined. If a new shaft is needed then haul out and replace the bearing (if showing wear) the shaft and the prop.
Once the new shaft is in position with the coupler installed, position the engine on its bed and align port/stbd, mark and bolt mounts. Stop the aligment work at this stage and install s/w, f.o. and exhaust hoses and the wiring harness/gauge panel. Lauch the boat, let it settle and complete the aligment of the engine/trani to the shaft coupler. Seatrial.
You can reuse your tank (flush it), tie the return to the vent hose.
All the details involved in steps above are all over your new engine owner's manual and the internet.
If you decide to go with a diesel engine then the choices will be a used engine, rebuilt engine or a new engine. The main reason people re-power is beacuse they have had enough of the problems i.e. lack of reliability.... with the cost of labor being what it is put your $ to the best use and get a new engine. i.e. 00000 hours, no problems, 100% reliable.

Beta has a great product for A4 replacement. Previou scomments are spot on though. If you plan to keep the boat for the next 20 years go for it, if not A4 is a great motor.

'Gaustad revealed that what we've heard the past day about what's wrong with the plan is true, "The biggest issues were the playoff format and the travel. I think it has to be fair for everybody especially in the playoff situation. I think you guys would agree that teams play an entire season for a shot at the playoffs and for one conference to be harder to make the playoffs than another just didn't sit well with the players."'

The tour was comprehensive and wonderful. Being able to experience Gallipoli and learn about the war from a Turkish perspective was invaluable. Our guide Reggie was the best! He was so knowledgeable and friendly, went out of his way to help me during the tour. I have expressed to all of my friends that a tour in Turkey wouldn't be complete without Reggie.
Thanks for a great tour!"
This tour was absolutely FANTASTIC! I loved and enjoyed everything, the organization that went into the program, the professionalism, the people, the content. Burhan was an exceptional tour guide, you could tell how much he loved his job and had excellent knowledge and enthusiasm. He was kind and helpful through the whole tour and I felt very safe with him. He assisted us when the tour had finished also. Turkey as a country is beautiful and I would love to go back! anyone that has Burhan has a tour guide is extremely lucky. I would defiantly book a tour through On the Go again and I will be recommending Turkey and On the Go to everyone. Amazing experience. Thank you "
Reggie was a great host. He was very knowledgeable on the areas we visited and was always happy to help people. He was always professional and kind, and made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible."

Love Me, Love My Tats
Recently one of our readers wondered what I thought of a study that was recently reported in Scientific American Mind. It was a study that was done in a forensic psychiatric hospital, looking at the correlation between tattoos and a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder. Briefly, they examined 36 inpatients for the presence or abscence of tattos and then did semi-structured interviews to assess them for antisocial personality disorder. Unsurprisingly, they found that people with tattos were more likely to be diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder and to have histories of substance abuse and suicide attempts.
My first thought when I read this report was: "This was a forensic fellows' research project."
Psychiatrists in training to be forensic psychiatrists are encouraged to do some type of research project during their fellowship. Since the fellowship only lasts for a year, it can be difficult doing any kind of in-depth or groundbreaking studies. The tattoo project is not a ground-breaking study. The main reason it probably got published was because it was done on forensic inpatients (although Scientific American Mind confuses them with prisoners, they aren't). The research subjects were patients, not prisoners. They were committed to the hospital after being found legally insane (therefore, not a criminal at all) or incompetent to stand trial (mentally unfit to go to court, therefore their guilt is undetermined).
The most interesting aspect of this study was the one that was not addressed at all in the paper:
How did they determine that the patients, all of whom by definition were seriously mentally ill, were competent to give informed consent to a research project?
This question is at the cutting edge of forensic psychiatry these days, a field which is concerned with competency assessments and capacity for decision-making. There are particular ethical difficulties that arise when the research is being conducted on institutionalized subjects like patients and prisoners. I've already blogged about this in detail in my post Guinea Pigs Behind Bars. (Be sure to check out the link to the guinea pig costume web site. I still love it.)
You can download the entire study by clicking on the pdf link at the Wiley web site here.

Operation Infinite Patience: January 19, 2012
The second Monday of January is a holiday in Japan. It is a time when the young men and women of the town who have "come of age" that year are acknowledged as adults. It is generally a cheerful time, full of pageantry. The dolphin killers of Taiji failed to recognize the holiday and instead went about harassing a pod of Risso's dolphins. Two of these dolphins were sent off to imprisonment and the remaining seven were cut up and eaten. It seems that the Risso, along with Pilot Whale, is very popular among the dolphin eaters here.
The bloodshed did not end there. On the tenth of January, the next day, the killers struck again. This time they claimed the lives of 43-47 Striped dolphins. We have been told that Striped dolphin meat is "lower" grade and much of it rots on the store shelves.
The 15th of January was the next time the killers struck and again it was Striped dolphins. It was a very large pod and when more than half of them made a run for it, the killers, who at first tried to retrieve them, forcibly separated the two groups. This was not an act born of mercy or kindness, it was economics. The price for Striped dolphin meat just did not warrant killing more than the 34 beings they killed that day. It was heart wrenching watching the group who were not killed persistently attempt to come to the aid of those who were killed. There were young ones in the dead group. I wonder if it was their mothers who tried so hard to help.
The weather has been favorable to dolphins since then. Either the killers have elected to stay home or their efforts among the white caps were futile. We like this weather and celebrate each day the wind blows and the rain falls.
We have been very clear that if the killing stops, the Cove Guardians will leave Taiji. What would the dolphin killers do if they stopped killing dolphins? Well, they have boats and know how to use them. Perhaps they could become honorable fishermen like their friends in town. We saw them catch tuna from their boats while they were out hunting for dolphins this week. We know that they catch fish when they are not chasing and killing dolphins. This seems like a natural course for these fishermen.
Fishing is probably not as lucrative as dolphin killing. It is not about tradition and honor with these guys. They want everyone to think that they are following in the ancient and venerable traditions of their forefathers, but the "tradition" of driving in dolphins like this, is only about 40 years old. It is not about tradition - it is about money. The dolphin killers have some of the biggest boats in the harbor. They seem to have the choice berths for their boats and even the better parking spots for their cars. They swagger about town. It must be hard to think about becoming more respectable and humble like their neighbors.
Perhaps some of the older men would want to retire and let their sons take on the boats. The same sons who have come of age yet must lurk in their fathers' shadows. The sons could fish and use the boats to take paying tourists to watch dolphins in the wild. They certainly know how to find dolphins. There are a number of groups standing ready to help these men find other work.
The people of Taiji (or most of them anyway) are tired of the negative reputation the dolphin killers have given the town. They are also tired of all of the foreigners running around, especially those from Sea Shepherd. They are tired of the extensive police presence in their tiny town and they are tired of having to pay the bill for all of those policemen.
There is a solution: Stop killing dolphins and Sea Shepherd will go away. Have the killers take up honorable activities, like those of their neighbors, and Sea Shepherd will stay away. Until then, we are here to stay.
Dutch Cove Guardian Erwin Vermeulen will be put on trial next week. He was arrested on December 16, 2011, for alleged assault on a dolphin entertainment industry employee. Erwin has remained incarcerated since his arrest and is following Gandhi's example by not requesting bail; let the Wakayama government pay to feed and house him.
We said farewell to Cove Guardian Ethan Wolf on the 15th and hello the same day to Stephen Wiltshire. The coming days will see a significant increase in the number of Cove Guardians in Taiji and February will be a very busy month for the authorities here. We are working steadily on our plans for a year round presence. We will have more information on that point later in the season. If we are here all season, families can come here on their summer (northern hemisphere) holidays to join the Cove Guardians and students will be more readily able to join us as well. I wonder if the police are ready to spend their summers in Taiji.
If you are interested in joining us in March, next season -which begins on September 1, or over the summer, write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com Keep the ever important calls and emails hammering the Japanese embassies and consulates.

I don`t know if I`ve posted this before but I figured it was time to throw these up....Enjoy.
I don`t know if I`ve posted this before but I figured it was time to throw these up....Enjoy.
let me be the first to say.
NIICE helmet there
Could you tell us which colors you used? I'll be making a seriously battle damaged one for a friend and I just love your scheme
Very nice!
Great job!!! Most of us here at TDH would recognize Jodo right away, but you better get used to being called Boba by the rest of the world.
Nice helmet!
Always refreshing to see something not everyone else is trying to accomplish, great looking work my friend!
Thanks everyone.....
Jouneymanprotector, Well, the orange is the same orange as used on the shoulder bells and knee armor. The green is the standard green used on the Boba Fett helmet. I had it painted by RA, so if you really need some techinal specs on the paint job. He`s the man to ask. I just gave him a picture of Kast`s helmet to work from and told him to "have fun with it". He did an outstanding job.
very nice, i agree with getting use to being called Boba thou, i was called that about 60 plus times at gencon in my stealth fett outfit, i was even called goth fett by one of the auctioneers, its all good thou.
Woah !!!
Awesome lookin helmet Jodo !!!
Yeah...I`m pretty much expecting that. But be sure that I`ll correct them every time!!
Really nice job!
SUHWEET! Very nice! *sigh* I've got another costume to add to the ever growing list...
Looks great, now where is the rest of the outfit?

I got this aquarium (67 gallons)with an already made wooden cover......and a 40 watt 2ft bulb of course. Perfect for a fully loaded planted aquarium........Not..
The dimentions i have to play with is 3 feet 11" long and 5" across...
What kind of lighting should i get???
So the wooden cover is 3' x 11" x 5"?
You're going to be severely limited for lighting in that canopy. Even if you do go with, say, two 96 watt Power Compact fluorescent lights, they are only three feet wide and would leave half a foot on each side unlit.
If it were me, I would sell the wooden canopy to someone who could fit it on their tank and either make your own four foot canopy or buy one.
Here are a few items for your shopping pleasure:
4x55w - 47" Solar Compact Light: $220
4x55w JBJ Formosa Deluxe with cooling fans and easy tilt brackets: $270
If you're on a budget, just do two double strip shop lights ($10 a piece) from Home Depot and stick four Sylvania Gro-Lux bulbs in there ($5 a piece) for 160 watts to get you started and save up for the power compacts.
Seems kind of strange that a 4' tank would have a 3' canopy on it. I too would dump the canopy you have and either build or buy a new one. You can even pick up a basic one from www.ahsupply.com and get the PC retro-fit kits while you are there.
Thanx for your input guyz....im sorry for not being clear about the cover......it fits over the tank perfectly.......its just that the space for the lights is a bit smaller.....i already went out today to an electrical shop (Dont have a Home Depot or Walmart down here in Trinidad)and got a few bulbs and fittings but im not sure its enough...i got 4.. F15T8 Grow Lite and all the connections and stuff ...I also got a 50 Watt Plant light so ill try an hook those up....it cost me about $35 USD....How much more would i need? or is that enough?..Its amaizing though ...down here no one knows about aqurium lights or grow lights....its really hard to find..And last week i gave up on finding Flourite.....no one knows what it is....they keep thinking its flouride......I decided to mix in some natural fertilizer which i got in the woods..
Wow, we're really expanding our international member base here! Welcome to the board =)
So far you have the following:
- 2 foot bulb (most likely 20 watts, are you sure it is 40w?)
- Four 18" 15 watt bulbs
- 50w plant light - is this also fluorescent? Or halogen? Incandescent?
Total you have about a little over 100 watts. This is still a fairly low level of lighting. If you could return your four F15T8 lights and connections, I'd recommend going back and asking for an industrial lighting fixture for four foot bulbs. They usually come in either 2 or 4 bulb configurations for lighting workshops, offices, etc. and cost very little. Then ask for F40T12 bulbs over 5000k. Most of them will be either 3000K or 4100K. As long as they are "daylight" or very cool colored, they will work well with plants.
Ok so the 2 ft bulb is 40 Watts,the space i have for the bulbs is a little less than 4 ft so the 4 ft bulb wouldnt work and the store doesnt have 3 ft bulb.The thing with this store is that i dont have to pay for anything it goes under a charge bill for the company so i like this store alott.I took the 4 18" bulbs and i noticed that i can still fit in 2 more so ill get them today...i can also fit in one compact flouricent bulb (got the idea from another post)...so ill do that today.Ill also have to put in a little fan as well.The plant light was too big for the fixture.
