MALVERN, PA -- The U.S. Patent Office has granted USA Technologies' 85th patent, further building USAT's portfolio of intellectual property in the area of cashless payment and remote diagnostics.
U.S. Patent #8,373,558 describes devices and methods for generating an alert for a vending machine. USAT already owns a collection of patents related to cashless payment, remote audit and interactive transaction capabilities in a vending machine.
USAT's chairman and chief executive Stephen P. Herbert said the latest patent is an example of how the company is enhancing diagnostics for ePort Connect operators. "Our customers, all traditionally cash-based businesses, are increasingly embracing technology to help improve their business results and customer satisfaction," he said. "As these customers move further into implementation of cashless payment, remote data monitoring and consumer engagement services, we believe our intellectual property portfolio offers them distinct added value."

Beyond that at least try to show some artistic integrity. Bill Watterson was fiercely opposed to the commercialization of his characters which is why he never licensed the IP. It's insulting that so many so called artists spit on his wishes especially since there is absolutely no parody whatsoever in this design. Bad form.
I can tell you're a Calvin & Hobbes and Bill Watterson fan, but seriously... come off it, now. There have been several Calvin and Hobbes shirts produced across the intertubez. I respect Watterson as an artist, but I see absolutely no reason to shun fan art, parodies, etc of his work.
Plus, I don't see how this is a betrayal of the derby rules. This guy is not a celebrity likeness. It's not an all-text shirt. It's not a map of a copyrighted and pre-existing fictional world. The shirt's fine.
I like the shirt. I hope it prints.

Which is why I'm equally perplexed about the rejection. And yes, a Yellow Brick Rd exists in Missouri too.
Re: Not in Kansas anymore
I don't hate the concept, although I do think it would have been just as funny, and had more depth if it showed an X on missouri instead of the "you arent here" X on kansas.
As for rejection, I definitely think both sides can argue down to the wire and still be unsure, considering the wording and the strictness of the one rule debated here.
I would say you could argue that the map is NOT of Oz. However, it would be hard to argue that they are not IN Oz, considering the characters used and what the map is a reference to.
I guess it depends on how strict the rejectionator is. BUT, the rejectionator DID reject the first design even though you COULD argue parody.
So in order to be consistent, this should get rejected. According to the first rejection, the rejection was due to the fact that she was IN the fictional world, not because the map was OF the fictional world, which seems different than the wording of the actual rule.
In order to bypass the rejection, you would have to argue that she is NOT in Oz. The argument that the map is not OF Oz seems irrelevant to the original rejection premise.
I guess in my opinion, the original rejection was worded wrongly, and implies that setting matters and maps that are in a setting are assumed to be of the same setting.
Bah, whether or not this passes, let's make sure the axe is consistent.
I think you should've kept the map the same as the original because I think it feels too obvious here.

I miss the Yellow Brick Road, and think it's absolute BS that they rejected the previous version. The map wasn't of a fictional world, it was, as you've pointed out, of the real world. And the yellow bricks, while indicative of the Yellow Brick road were certainly not a map. Still dig the design, though. Just wish the folks running this derby would stick to the letter of their own rules.

Here is why it looks different:
Spaceman Spiffs world was of sharply drawn landscapes and a thin Calvin. This blonde doesn't look much like Calvin and the landscape is fuzzy, like a charcoal drawing.
What told me this was Spiff was the round spaceship (that also looks like the Jetson's version) and the unseen tentacled beast.
Would have preferred a lighter colour for the actual line, but a cute concept never the less! :D

The City of Bemidji is seeking public input from residents of Bemidji on the development of a park area located on the South Shore. A questionnaire is being mailed out this week to property tax payers in the city limits.
The questionnaire is designed to get opinions on what amenities are important and the costs associated with the park development. One important question is whether the city should prepare a swimming beach, which would involve cleaning the lake bottom of industrial wood debris that was dumped there for decades. That cleanup would cost millions and would likely result in higher property taxes.
The City is working with Bemidji State University – Marketing Assistance and Research Solutions (MARS) to design, mail and compile the study. The results will be available to the public after they are presented to the City Council early in 2014.

Something I learned the hard way on my hunting trip to Alberta this year: don't put your choke tubes in your carry on bag. I took them with me to Canada in my locked case with my shotgun, but messed up and left them in my carry on bag on the way home. Turns out that Customs views a choke tube as a "necesary functioning part" of the firearm. Don't bother arguing that a shotgun can infact be fired without it, they don't care.
Just my little lesson, put your tubes in with your checked luggage or you won't get on the plane with them.

Fox News reporter echoed Hannity's misleading claims on ANWR drilling
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Two days after Fox News host Sean Hannity, an avowed conservative, presented a series of misleading claims to advocate oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), William La Jeunesse, a hard news reporter for Fox News, repeated the same misleading claims. On the March 10 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, La Jeunesse reported that ANWR would produce "10 billion" barrels of oil or "nearly as much as we import [from] Saudi Arabia"; suggested that "experience shows" that drilling would not "hurt migrating caribou" in the refuge; and stated that the "oil exploration area ... total[s] 2,000 acres, or less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the refuge." In fact, available evidence contradicts each claim.
As Media Matters for America noted when Hannity touted the 10.4-billion-barrel estimate for ANWR's potential oil output, that figure includes large portions of ANWR where oil production is too costly to be economically viable for oil companies, and the proposal currently before Congress would not permit drilling in those areas. Two related claims presented by both Hannity and La Jeunesse -- that ANWR could produce "more than one million barrels a day" and that ANWR could provide "nearly as much as we import [from] Saudi Arabia " -- are based on the same assumption that drilling will occur in areas not considered economically viable for production. Media Matters also noted that projections of ANWR output by the U.S. Department of Energy indicate that it would fall far short of Saudi Arabian oil imports.
As Hannity did previously, La Jeunesse cited the example of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, an oil-drilling area where the number of caribou has dramatically increased, to support his claim that drilling in ANWR would not "hurt migrating caribou." But a U.S. Geological Survey report noted, in the words of the Los Angeles Times, that drilling in ANWR would likely lead to "impaired reproduction and calf survival for the 123,000 caribou" in ANWR.
La Jeunesse's claim that only 2,000 acres of ANWR would be affected by drilling ignores the network of roads and pipelines extending outside of the drilling area that would be needed to support oil production, as Media Matters also documented.

This week, we've woken to frost outside, sparkling in the bright morning sun. On our car, it's thick enough for my daughter to scratch away with a fingernail, etching her initials on the window before hopping in for the ride to school. Damp yellow leaves clump in the gutter, and the carved pumpkins on our steps have begun to look wizened. Fall arrived slowly this year, but now the trees have peaked, the clocks changed and the seasons fully shifted.
Thank heavens, then, for homemade pesto. At the first mention of nippy weather on the radio, I harvested great bunches of basil from the garden and made several batches to freeze. Throughout winter, I'll toss that pesto with pasta, swirl it into tomato soup, smear it on sandwiches and spread it over pizza crust. (One favorite combo we created this year: pesto, cherry tomatoes, grated mozzarella and Reichert's Dairy Air goat cheese, a family-favorite from Des Moines' Downtown Farmers Market.)
I'm already eager to try a cold-weather version, with thinly sliced new potatoes or mushrooms, but I know that my pesto will taste better in January, when hot, sunny days feel furthest away. So for now, I'll savor the frosty mornings, knowing that I've stored plenty of summer in my freezer door.

Hello all, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I didn't really know where to place this.
I'm new around here, so first I'll introduce myself. I'm Andrew. Just a 21 year old from Wisconsin and a newly found gun-nut. I made my first handgun purchase a few months ago. Went with a Glock 26, and I'm pretty happy with it. It has seen some pretty decent range time in it's short life with me and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I do plan on starting a collection, but that's been put on hold for now.
Now, about this interesting idea I have. I'm a student working on a engineering degree, and this thought popped in my head for a project that I had to do, and I thought it would be a good idea to maybe try to market it. I designed an ammo case, but I used the Glock logo for it, and it actually turned out pretty decent. By no means am I a master designer, but I can turn out some nice looking products. My idea was to make custom ammo cases (like the plastic traays that they come in). It just looks like the logo, extruded it about 1.5" and offset holes through the entire thing so when it is filled the rounds obviously take the shape of the logo. I know I can't sell that one due to copyright and all that legal stuff, but what I could do is take orders from people and make what the want. Take orders by website, and do it kind of how Comp Tac does it, 2-3 week turn around time to design and create and ship. I thought it would give someone a more "personal" touch with accessories.
I was just looking for some feedback, and if anyone would even be interested in something like this? If there is good feedback I just might follow through with this and advertise on forums like this and search for a place to have them made.

N.J. woman injured in Moultonborough motorcycle crash
MOULTONBOROUGH — A 48-year-old New Jersey woman suffered severe injuries to her arms and legs when her motorcycle collided with a car late Saturday night.
Police said Debra Ferrari of Vineland, N.J., was driving south on Governor Wentworth Highway, also known as Route 109, when her motorcycle crossed the double-yellow line just before 10 p.m. near the Winnipesaukee Sportsmen Club.
Ferrari's motorcycle struck a car being driven by David Bergeron, 32, of Somerville, Mass. Bergeron and his passenger were not injured in the crash, police said.
Fire Chief David Bengtson said rescue crews found that Ferrari had "multiple traumatic injuries to her upper and lower extremities."
Rescue crews called for a DHART helicopter to fly Ferrari to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. The helicopter landed at Moultonborough Airport at 10:43 p.m., and arrived at Dartmouth-Hitchcock at 11:02 p.m., Bengston said.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock officials would not release information on Ferrari's condition on Monday.
Police said speed and alcohol were not factors in the crash.
The crash is still under investigation by Moultonborough police.

Last night I took the sintra pieces that were starting to collect dust and decided to finally shape everything. The shoulder bells were no problem, cod, stomach, collar, back, and knees were also no problem. The chest I formed to fit me and I think that is were the problem lies.
When I first shaped it I did the bottom middle part, then I noticed that the top was sticking way out. I reheated the top and formed it back but I got a wave in it. It fits my chest perfectly so I am thinking of using bondo to build it the open areas on thefront and back, then sanding both sides down with my belt sander until I have a uniform 1/8" edge.
Thanks for looking...
p.s.- I know I need to cut out the bottom of my back plate, but does the shape look correct?

Bronx Man Busted in Albany
A fight in a parking lot at the corner of North Pearl St. and Sheridan Avenue early Sunday caught the attention of some Albany cops and led to the arrest of a man from the Bronx, police said.
Neuville Bryant, 25, of the Bronx, is charged after a brief struggle and found to be in possession of 106 individually wrapped pieces of crack cocaine, police said. This happened around 3:50 a.m. Sunday, February 23 when Lt. James Gallagher and Officer Matthew Jones intervened. Police found out that Bryant had been inside "Legend's on Pearl," a bar at 84 North Pearl Street, where he had been repeatedly harassing a woman, police said. The woman resisted and asked bar staff to escort her to her car in fear that Bryant would follow her to the parking lot.
As she was being escorted, Bryant approached and a physical altercation ensued, police said. Bryant was charged with two counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (3rd Degree), Obstruction of Governmental Administration (2nd Degree) and Resisting Arrest.
He was arraigned in the Albany City Criminal Court and sent to the Albany County Jail.

Ms. Gillian Gibbons told Elizabeth Day of the Manchester Guardian the real story behind her captivity in a Sudan prison after being charged with the ridiculous crime of giving a name to a teddy bear. She said it was difficult to explain what she went through during her days of ordeal. "It's hard to describe what it's like. I was just terrified, absolutely terrified" being in a hot sweltering prison with dirt and noise as her constant companions. Ms. Gibbons also revealed that parents of the children knew all about the teddy bear being given a name of Mohammed and not a single one objected. "For the children, it was a member of the class," said Ms. Gibbon, and "the parents had to ask(if their children could borrow the teddy bear for a night at home)so they write and say, 'Can we borrow Mohammed?' and they're Muslim parents, so you can imagine that I had no idea at all that I'd done something wrong because none of the parents said anything." It wasn't until two months after the teddy bear was named that a school employee, Sara Khawad expressed her anger at the school by going to authorities and complaining about the teddy bear naming.
Ms. Gibbon noted that when first arrested, she was interrogated in Arabic, a language in which she had three weeks of instruction. According to Ms. Gibbons, at the trial, an irate prosecutor brought the offending teddy bear into the court room, placed it on a table and roared at Ms. Gibbon, "Is this the bear?" She spent the days in jail with great fear and was ridiculed by the guards for being upset, and they wanted to know why she had these feelings. "Well, I've lost my job, I've lost my home, there's a mob baying outside that wants to kill me, I'm in prison, and I'm going to get deported, and you ask me why I'm crying?"
This entire incident is obviously a set up. The parents knew about the teddy bear being named Mohammed and not a single one uttered a word of complaint. The Sudan government could readily have contacted the school after Ms. Khawad came with her complaint, and the entire incident never would have happened. It is blatantly cleared they wanted an issue, they wanted to get a mob in the streets shouting something about England or Europeans being hostile to the Muslim religion. The "crime" of Gillian Gibbons is really the "crime" of a Sudanese government which was trying to divert attention from its "crimes in Darfur." As Shakespeare put it, the teddy bear naming was much ado about nothing.

Marian House in need of turkeys
The Marian House needs donations to provide a Thanksgiving meal to those who would otherwise go without.
Mark Rohlena President & CEO of Catholic Charities in southern Colorado said the numbers are too small, "right now we are pretty bare on what our inventory is. We need about 500 plus turkeys and we have about 20".
Those turkeys will be used at the Marian House soup kitchen, given to other food banks who need assistance, and 300 of them will go to families.
Thanksgiving boxes are put together with all the classic dishes, but those numbers are too low. Rohlena believes they have enough for 20 of the 300 boxes.
The following items are needed for the food boxes: boxes of instant mashed potatoes, canned vegetables, canned pumpkin for pies, pie crusts, boxes of stuffing/dressing, Jello, small marshmallows, canned yams, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy and fruit.
Joan Hatcher has volunteered at the Marian House for five years and asked people to put themselves in that situation. "Think of yourself on Christmas and Thanksgiving without a meal or without having a family and dig in your pocket and put a few extra bucks in there because the need is here and we need to help."
The boxes will be put together Wednesday. Donations may be dropped off between 8am to 2pm Monday through Saturday. Cash donations are accepted.

Hello all,
I am interested in getting started on my own helmet, but I have no clue as to where to start. What I do have is the Rubies Jango helmet. I am thinking about revamping it, but I am also considering getting one of those "mystery" helmets I see everywhere, but currently don't have the funds or ability to obtain one at this time. From the experienced members here, what should I do? A reason for considering buying the mystery helmet, is because it appears larger. I am 6'6, only 17, and I need the largest helmet possible, but not rediculously huge. I just need to know where to start, and go with this kind of thing. What is your oppinion? Thanks
(Who also has to do this in "secret" for the parents think I would be wasting money......I guess it is in a way, but screw it, I love this thing :jango )

WAY overdue for new youth ATV laws in Michigan
The current old and outdated law [ 1991 ] that allows a youth at ANY age to operate an ORV on Michigan's designated trails, but bans the use of ATV's for use by those youth under the age of 12, should be amended. It makes 0 sense to tell anyone that it is OK to allow a 6 yr old youth to operate his Dirt Bike on the trails because it is classified as an ORV and ORV's have NO age restrictions in Michigan, but if that same kid wanted to operate an appropriately sized 4 wheeler with 4 wheels planted under his butt and is far more stable for Michigan's sandy trails, that now we are breaking the law..This ATV legislation goes all the way back to 1991 and perhaps back than when we were still dealing with 3 wheelers, this law had some merit, but today, almost 19 years later, has no merit what so ever.
How about considering this?
*Abolish the word ATV completely and turn all motorized recreational vehicles into OHV's.
*Allow the use of OHV's at the age of 6 on Michigan's designated trails with certification and adult visual supervision if under the age of 16 years old.
*Put the following age/engine size restrictions on 4 wheelers
AGES 6-9 years old--up to a maximum of 90cc engine
AGES 10-12 years old--up to a maximum of 125cc engine
AGES 13-15--if they want to operate any 4 wheeler with a engine size larger than 125cc and up to a maximum engine size of up to 350cc, they MUST take a hands-on ORV safety course from a certified ORV safety Instructor first.
At NO TIME will any youth under the age of 16 be allowed to operate any OHV that is wider than 50 inches on Michigan's Designed trail system..
The above accomplishes many things.
*It wipes out the MASSIVE confusement of what is legally termed an ATV/ORV.
*It now allows the 1000's of younger youth who are operating Dirt Bikes against their parents better judgement, to now legally operate a 4 wheeler of appropriate engine size.
*It keeps youth under the age of 16 from operating Pick-Up trucks, Jeeps, or ANY other OHV that is wider than 50 inches in width. Currently, there is a legal loop hole in this ORV law because Pick-Up trucks,Jeeps, 6x6 vehicles,Polaris Rangers,Artic Cat Prowlers, Kawasaki Mules, and a host of other vehicles classified as ORV's are actually LEGAL for our youth to operate because they are classified as ORV's, HOWEVER, in reality, they are FAR too large for the use of youth under the age of 16 years old.ALL the above mentioned vehicles are wider than 50 inches in width and under the new legislation, would now be illegal for their use by youth under the age of 16 years old.
What does everyone think?

I like it... How are we as a group able to get the law changed???
I ride my WR on the ORV trails, but am unable to take my son on his ATV as he is only 9, but has been riding it since he was 4 (under my supervision of course). He has NO desire to ride a motorcycle, and because of this, he is unable to ride in MI with me... I do however get to take him on private prooperty here in Canada...
|August 3rd, 2009, 03:12 AM
for starters, we must get our legislators to tell the ENTIRE truth first. Here is a letter I received from Representative Joel Sheltrowns Aid, Brady that states why he he dont like my idea.-----------------------------------
Bill [QUOTE from Brady ]
We'd never be able to get that passed. When we were working to pass PA 240, there was a lot of controversy about allowing 12-15 year olds on ATVs on roads. When we pointed out that kids in this age range could ride on trails, a number of people seriously suggested raising the age of operation on ATVs to 16 or 18. We were able to deflect that. But opening the age issue again could very likely result in an age increase, not decrease.
The other problem we are having right now with kids on ATVs is the large problem of kids riding ATVs unsupervised, often without helmets in northern Michigan. People come up from southern Michigan on weekends and during the summer and think the law no longer applies "up north". They'll let their kids use the ATVs as toys. On a number of occasions, I've seen multiple teen on 1 ATV, without helmets, racing down the dirt road by my parent's place at Higgins Lake. We're hearing similar reports throughout the NLP and UP. Some of these kids may end up getting killed. Until we are able to curtail this through heavier fines and more enforcement, any discussion of lowering the age for ATV use is a non-starter.
For whatever reason, Brady is partially deceiving the public when he tells you that there were discussions about kids riding ATVs with regards to PA 240,formerly HB 4323..Here is a letter back to his office on July 24th and to date, he has still refused to answer the following letter I sent to his office.
Brady, [ Quote from Bill ]
I was at both the House hearing and the Senate hearing on behalf of HB 4323, and at no time,do I ever recall anyone pointing out ONLY operators on ATV's as an issue of concern for the 12-15 year old group with respect to riding on roadways. I do recall concern taking place about the ENTIRE 12-15 yr old ORV riding group [ not just ATVer's ] operating on the roadways of HB 4323.
I find it very nerving that our legislators have no problem going after higher ORV sticker increase's with no regard to the mismanagement-misuse and abuse of our current 16.25 sticker fee's. But yet,now all a sudden after 19 years of prejudice against youth operation of ATV's in Michigan, they have real issues/concerns when it comes to allowing a youth on an ATV, the same opportunity to ride as someone who rides a Dirt Bike.
Its not just kids riding ATV's unsupervised and without helmets [ I ride over 2000 miles a year on my ATV ], I've seen it many times just the same with the Dirt Bike youth crowd too. On one hand, legislation is DOUBLING the fine for not wearing a helmet [ $500.00 ] so those that don't wear a helmet will LEARN a lesson, and at the same time, discriminating against the use of ATV's by our youth.
Simple put, nobody can legislate stupidity whether it happens on a ATV or a Dirt Bike.
We're giving the youth Dirt Bike riders a FREE PASS in Michigan to not wear helmets and ride double, do wheelie's, tear up the enviro, ect,, all the while, discriminating our youth from the same opportunity to operate an ATV. If we are going to be biased towards the operation of youth on an ATV, than we need to do the exact same thing with dirt bikes-----PERIOD!
I'm thinking you'll receive a lot more responses to this youth ATV issue in the next few weeks.
END QUOTE by Bill---------------------------------------------------
1.Contact Joel Sheltrowns Aid at firstname.lastname@example.com and let him know by e-mail that you find it very discriminating and bias that for 19 years now, that Michigan law allows the use of Dirt Bikes [ ORVs ] at any age on our trail system's in Michigan,but will not allow the use of ATVs by the same age group until our is youth is 12 years old. Tell him that you do not beleive that it is ONLY our youth on ATV's who occassionally may violate ORV laws, and that it is EVERY ORV user's responsibility to uphold ATV/ORV laws. Ask him to assist with the 2010 OHV Comprehensive ORV Legislation law and add language that allows the use of ATVs by youth as outlined in Bill Gilberts plan. Have EVERY ATVer you know get their e-mails out to his office ASAP.

I think there should be a age limit on kids riding dirt bikes on michigan trails my wife was hit by 14 year old saturday in st helen he was riding with 16 year old brother kid said he was a racer and did not think about anybody else on trail both wife and kid all right just bruises on scratchs so just not atv's
|August 3rd, 2009, 10:40 AM
Thats what im telling our legislators, its just not kids on ATVs that we're having problems with but also the Dirt Bike community too.
Under Michigan law, any individule involved in a ORV/ATV accident resulting in injury is suppose to contact local law enforcement so a police report can be written up. If your wife would have done this,perhaps the 14 yr old parents may have received a citation for wreckless operation of an ORV and this 14 year old will think differantly the next time he rides.
I dont want to stop our young kids from riding ATVs or ORVs,we need to ENFORCE the ORV laws we have in place. This is the ONLY way this wreckless type of operation will dwindle.
Now go and do the right thing and e-mail the Rep at the address I gave you guys above. Tell him about your incident and that its just not youth on ATVs that cause some issues on the trails.

It doesn't seem fair about the age discrimination regarding the different user groups, but you're not going to get much support outside the ATV community if your intention is to drag the motorcycle users down into increased regulation, at least not from me.
A motorcycle rider since before the age of 16.
|August 3rd, 2009, 12:47 PM
hoo dat. wat.
Bill thinks motorcycle users get preferential treatment from the DNR from operator age to trail access to even the way the trails are kept up. He refuses to acknowledge that cyclists enjoy some perks because of the Michigan Cycle Conservation Club and the work it has been doing FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS.
He would much rather sling mud at the user group that has worked hard for what it has instead of taking the lead in organizing a similar group for ATV users.
I think he does a good job of addressing where things are not consistent and potentially unsafe (ATV safety instructors with no real safety training - just a warm body in some cases), however, he ALWAYS comes across as not liking the cycling community regardless of his intentions.
|August 3rd, 2009, 02:43 PM
My intentions are NOT to bring the riding age for dirt bikes down but rather to indicate how ONE SIDED this ATV and Dirtbike law is. It OK for one youth group to ride the trails, but not the OTHER? Complete BS IMO!
Talk all you want about the CCC's 40 years in Michigan,however, with this being almost 2010, we should ALSO be discussing the last 10 years of preferential treatment for the cyclist group, when in fact,for the last ten years, there are FAR more ATV dollars in the ORV kitty than there is cyclist dollars. Talk all you want about how long the CCC has been around, but fair game should also be concidered by who's really got the most $$ invested in Michigans ORV trail system and who gets the least attentiveness from the MDNR. You know the old saying? Money talks and BS walk's!
You think that I dont give your precious little CCC the love that you think they deserve. Well, let me say this much, up until just a few years ago, I too was a CCC member. I quit after I overheard a past Board member of the CCC threaten to pull its entire trail maintenace group out of maintaining trails IF the DNR gave up any trail maintenance miles to a ATV club. I overheard this myself at a past ORV Board meeting and about fell out of my shoe's.
It pisses me off to no end when I ride a ATV trail that was given to a cyclist grant sponsor for maintenance,and then im smacked in the face with tree branches. Than I find out that this cyclist group raked in about 260k for trail maintenance.
Slinging mud and not taking a lead?
If the shoe fits--wear it!
|August 3rd, 2009, 08:33 PM
hoo dat. wat.
As for branches smacking you in the face, are you that dense to realize foliage grows faster that can be trimmed in the summer? I take tree limbs to the head and neck at way faster speeds than you do on your ATV. I think you have a run in your pantyhose, Alice.
CCC Conspiracy to smack ATV riders with branches!!!1!1!!ololololz
Like I said, if there are so many ATV users out there that are feeling neglected, organize and work with the DNR as a large user group. Cyclists, snowmobilers (OMG!!!! They won't let us on their trails in teh summartime!!1!!) and hunters have all joined together in their respective groups to get what they want from the state.
Sounds to me like you're missing the entire point of organizing and working with the DNR as a large user group.
|August 4th, 2009, 02:40 AM
Your the only one here too dense to realize that I am also well aware that when grant sponsors agree to take on a trail for maintenance, that they have a spec guideline booklet that they are ''suppose'' to follow for brushing back limbs and that these maintenence runs are suppose to be done 2x during the summer months? With that said, there is not a reason in the world that any rider should be constantly taking branches upside his helmet or body during a summertime ride.
I have found that thru the years,in most cases, there is no working WITH the MDNR..It is either 100% THEIR WAY, or hit the highway..These clowns are paid thru user fee's and one of their first priorities should be to have a working relationship WITH user groups who pay them.
For 6 years now, I have been TRYING to work WITH the DNR to FIX an ORV Safety program that they screwed-up 100% from the minute they took it over on OCT 1st of 2003. I've spent my OWN $ and countless trips going to Lansing trying to work WITH them, only to be disappointed and mis-lead into thinking that in the end, they [ DNR ] would do the RIGHT thing with this program. Today, the end result is they dont give a damn what the User's want out of this safety program and its now one of the worst ORV Safety Programs in the entire Country. All my trips and time to Lansing to work WITH the DNR and for WHAT? Brag all you want about them, however, I beleive them to be the most arrogant Law Enforcement Agency out there. They'll read into laws so as to best fit their OWN agenda's and not the REAL intent of that law. I've proven this over/over before.
And let me tell you something else before you continue on with your nonsense about how I need to join/form/support a large group of User's to get what we want out of the State . You see Scooter, you may not beleive this, but there are MANY other user groups such as hunters, snowmobilers, ORVers that feel EXACTLY the same way that I feel about the MDNR and we have banded TOGETHER to form a club called the Michigan Wildlife and Business Assoc who's goals are ,
Perhaps YOU should coincider joining these group of outdoorsmen which consists of Sportsmen, Wildlife Feeders, Farmers, Business Owners, ORV'ers, Snowmobilers and Outdoor Enthusiasts who have had it with all the bureaucratic BS from the MDNR and the NRC, and quit calling out others who have already been where only you wished you could be.

Brag about the DNR? Me?
You need to take a poop, smoke a joint, then eat some fruit loops before you read my posts - you're wound wayyyyyy to tight.
The DNR, for the most part, is full of idiots that wouldn't know conservation if you dressed it up as a sheep in lingerie and sat it in front of them with its tail in the air. The DNR is now seen as a source of income for our states failing economy. If you have noticed, the DNR is selling all of the timber it can to de-foresting companies, and not bothering to replace what they strip out. On occasion, I see efforts at "thinning", but it is usually clearcutting with a lot of damage being done by the machines the timber companies use.

Sorry Scooter,
I took the above quote from you as someone who cherished the DNR and that you did'nt know that there were groups out there that actually have alot of distrust in them.
But I can see clearly now, after your last post, that indeed, I was wound a little too tight.
Glad we agree on this one.

^ 100% agreed!!! On the kid thing though, I have taken my son on the trails "up north"
(kalkaska area) from age 12 on with his 90CC ATV. He has been through the proper training, is certified, carries his cert. card, and is dressed in full gear. He is not allowed on the roads at all and I am right behind him. Now that he's 14 I fully intend on having him become comfortable driving my Jeep on private property and he will be on the trails, rocks, and dunes with me sitting beside him as soon as he has his driver's ed permit.
I do agree that there is a lot of idiots out there that use an ATV as a mechanical baby sitter, but with the correct upbringing and training we shouldn't "brand" young riders with a negative stigma.
|August 4th, 2009, 02:34 PM

You may be wound a little too tight sometimes, but your passion for the sport is admirable, and I can see how you get frustrated dealing with DNR inconsistencies, double-talk, favoritism and general stupidity.

The DNR are for the most part a bunch of badge wearing morons. Granted some are smart and work hard at keeping people safe and nature...naturey??? haha. It just seems like for every 1 good one there are 5 idiots.
As far as the ATVOHVPICKAFRICKINACRONYM.....Kids should always have adult supervision up to the age of at least 16 when on the trails. Ive definitly been clipped or hit by kids on dirtbikes and quads while in the trails because they take blind corners at full throttle. Ive bruised ribs and broken parts because of kids not paying attention to markers. Some are responsible, BUT they usually had a parent with them. Which is the way i think it should be. So i agree but i dont want a 10 year old riding the trails, I think thats to young and to easy for the rider to get hurt and i dont think many parents would want to deal with that on their chest for the rest of their lives.
|August 4th, 2009, 04:30 PM
hoo dat. wat.
Most ATV users I have met on the trail are out riding at safe speeds and not contributing to the whoops Michigan is famous for. There are exceptions, but I think ATVees are far less damaging to the trail than motorcycles (unless they try to ride singletrack and widen it up).
|August 4th, 2009, 06:33 PM
With all due respect, im going to disagree with a few of you guys that say kids should'nt be riding the trails on dirt bikes or ATV's until they are 12-14 years old. Here's the catch though.
ATVing and dirt bike riding is a sport that I beleive should be enjoyed by our youth at the age of maybe 6 or 7 years old just like most other outdoor sporting events,so long as they have the following
* RESPONSIBLE Adult visual supervision
*Attended an ACCREDITED ATV/ORV safety education class WITH a parent and posses a valid safety certificate.
Im one that believes in starting my kids out in life participating in all the ''FAMILY'' things that we can, as early in life as we can.I dont want my kids to have to wait until they are 12-14 yrs old to ride the trails with me because if they have to, I feared that when they reached the legal age at which they can ride with me, that they will no longer posses an interest in doing the ''FAMILY THINGS''so much anymore [ I did this to MY dad ] and that their newly founded focuses would be more directed towards doing things with their OWN age group such as football, baseball, basketball, ect ect ect. I had my son riding his ATV at the age of 3yrs old and he was very good at it. Took him on the trails with me at the age of 5 and we never encounterd ANY issues we could'nt deal with. Now sure, this kid is now 29 yrs old,and things have changed alot since than,but even TODAY, it still comes down to being a RESPONSIBLE adult with whatever you choose to do with you youth.
Remember fellows, Michigans Designated ORV trail system is NOBDY'S race track and should not be treated like this by anyone. If you dont want the youth on the trail system because YOU as an adult want to CHALLENGE your skill level and put everyone else at risk who rides it, than you need to get off the trail and onto a D-14 race.

British teachers are seeking to change current policies and implement a new 35 hour work-week which would result in teachers interacting with students about 24 hours per week. The remaining time would allow teachers to grade papers and to plan their future lessons. In 2001, Scotland implemented the McCrone Agreement which established a 35 hour work week which has been reduced to 22.5 hours interacting with students.
Any time teachers discuss the topic of how many hours they work, the public becomes excited and angry because it is assumed teachers have an easy life. In reality, few good teachers work less than sixty hours a week given the demands to create lesson plans each day and to interact with students after school. Let me cite an example, if a teacher assigns a writing assignment to 80 students and devotes 10 minutes to making comments and grading, this constitutes 800 minutes which is over 10 hours of work.
The difference between good teachers and mediocre ones is that the former work many more hours than what people who never have taught understand.

Good Value for a Sleek Ladder Rack
Reviewed By James F (Kingwood, TX) Reviewed for a 2014 Ford F-150 —1/11/2017 10:56 AM
Received my Adarac model #70490 on time and install was quick and easy on my 2014 F150 Crew cab 5.5ft bed truck. Functions with my Undercover Flex three panel tonneau cover, if you reach in and unlatch the middle panel as well. Otherwise move the rear verticals an inch or two forward for panel clearance. The kit comes with three spacers per stake pocket. A bit confusing since all the online videos and photos in the instructions show two. Bought the rack to transport two 14ft kayaks. Great Value.

They've amassed a HUGE trade surplus with the rest of the world without a police force across the world.
it's not about being smart or dumb. there was a time when almost everyone knew someone in the military. that time is past. trying to talk military matters to civilians is like trying to explain a foreign culture.
to be honest, i don't count temporary war cost in the things that are running us broke long term.
if we had been really smart (less inept?) we would have built a nice base in Iraq and been the heck out of Afghanistan long ago. we do have a strategic interest in the area and iraq was the perfect place to stay.
Responsible people COMPROMISE to across the board cuts in these circumstances. Yes, that includes social programs. The problem is compromise isn't in the Republicans lexicon. They're still stuck on just saying no, no, NO. Well, except for the stuff they want and then they say yes, yes, YES!

I have a nice interior set I made for stormtrooper helmets. Half the parts are not helmet specific, half of them are (The mold to the inside of the helmet).
I would like to complete this project. I however dont know which helmet I used. Is there someone with a bunch of knowledge of helmets that I could show this to that could help me? I want to say it was an efx or fx cast, does that sound like a valid helmet?

text: I copied a bunch documents and pictures files off my dad's computer onto CDRs. Then triple-checked to make sure the docs/files were on the CDRs before deleting all the files off his computer (because his computer might end of going to one of my brothers many many In-Laws, so I wanted all my docs off there). I confirmed the CDRs were good, deleted all the files off my dad's computer, brought them to my house .... now when I put the CDR in my computer, the CDRs are blank, no files show! I take the CDR back to dad's computer, the files are there! I'm going to lose access to my dad's computer soon, and I don't know what good it would do to load them all back onto dad's computer, then copy them off again, if my computer won't read the CDRs, and there are some important documents on there I need, not to mention some of the last ever pictures of my dad! What's the problem? Why won't my computer read the CDRs? I know the drive works because I have a game I play on my computer where you must have a CD loaded to play the game to make the icon on my desktop work, and I just played it.

Puppy dies in fire near Half Mile Lake in Spencer Township
SPENCER TOWNSHIP – A seven-week-old puppy is dead but the homeowners are safe after fire broke out in a house on the east side of Half Mile Lake.
Five fire departments are battling the fire on Jewett Street, which runs off Half Mile Road west of Morgan Mills Avenue in Spencer Township.
Russ Miller said he was sitting in his living room with his wife, Rita, when he noticed black smoke collecting on the ceiling.
Spencer Township Fire Chief Alan Wright said Miller reported the house was filling with smoke around 7:45 p.m. to Kent County Sheriff's Dispatch. Miller called dispatchers back a few minutes later while firefighters were en route to report smoke coming from his roofline.
The back of the home facing the lake was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived around 7:50 p.m.
Firefighters have most of the fire knocked down. They are waiting for a Consumers Energy crew to cut power to the residence before they can fully extinguish the blaze.
The Millers escaped the home unharmed with one of their dogs, but they believe a seven-week-old puppy in the back of the house likely died in the fire.
Wright believes the fire may have ignited in the attic, but the investigation into an exact cause still is ongoing.
The Spencer Township, Oakfield Township, Montcalm Township, Maple Valley Township and Algoma Township fire departments all assisted at the scene. Police also are helping clear traffic after firefighters reported cars impeding their access to the scene.

I recently got a Jango costume and the gauntlets unfortunately have some slight damage the hose attachment points are damaged on the left gauntlet the 2 on the box. On the right gauntlet both the hose attachments are damaged on the box that would hold the dart. I also am missing one of the small 4 mini darts from the right gauntlet and it has never had the large spear attached to the right gauntlet. The previous owner said he never had one of those.
So can anyone help me to source these parts so i can salvage the gauntlets or do i need to scrap them and buy a whole new set.
I can see that the darts are for sale on the forum but can not find any one selling the hose attachment points.
Hope you guys can help
Cheers caaw

Manuel Almunia is back in the Arsenal squad for Sunday's FA Cup clash with Huddersfield Town.
The Spanish goalkeeper has been sidelined by elbow and ankle injuries since his last appearance against West Brom in September but he could make his comeback in the Fourth Round tie at Emirates Stadium.
Abou Diaby (calf), Sebastian Squillaci (hamstring) and Tomas Rosicky (sickness) will also return against Huddersfield as Arsène Wenger rings the changes but Bacary Sagna will not be risked after suffering a head injury against Ipswich in midweek.
"Definitely back in the squad is Diaby, Squillaci, Almunia and certainly Rosicky," confirmed Wenger at his pre-match press conference.
"Sagna will definitely not be used because of his head injury.
"I will rotate [the squad], that is what I do now in every single game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Flemish Psalter
View the digitised manuscript →
A psalter is a collection of psalms (biblical hymns). This psalter is written in Latin, on vellum and was produced in Bruges circa 1500. Its binding dates from the 19th century.
Richly decorated, it includes a fully illuminated page depicting the Tree of Jesse and a miniature of King David. A second miniature depicts the Office of the Dead, in addition to twelve illuminations representing the months of the year and the signs of the zodiac. A further nine pages feature richly decorated borders, ornamented with flowers, birds and butterflies. The coat-of-arms of the patron of the psalter consists of an azure-coloured lion set against a silver background; it figures nine times throughout the manuscript.
It is likely that the illustration of the psalter was carried out in the workshop of Raphael Marcatellis, a bibliophile from Bruges.

"The quality of these super cute, modern cards is superb. Go with the pearl paper, you won't regret. Fun size! I like to be a little different; these pleased! Shipped fast."
"Great looking card, the designer helped me get the back of the card to look exactly as I wanted. The pearl finish stands out against my competitors cards. Delivery was very quick! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."

Was going to my community garden plot & drove by bees Nasonoving by the 2 holes on a manhole cover near the curbside but in the street. I put my bankers box /swarm box w/ lemongrass oil on top but at end of gardening checked back & near evening just a handfull of bees. When moved box manhole bees fanned the stragglers back in to the colony. As city services were closed have to call tomorrow but I think due to me not being licensed & bonded they would most likely just kill them due to liability. I wonder if somewhere a manhole cover tool can be rented & can rescue in the evening but due to bees by curbside worried will interact w/ driver parking car. Will check Friday as this is manhole cover for water well to water well throughfare & humidity might possibly make abscond. Anyone done a manhole cut out? Has public works or vector control helped at all? Will post video later as late.Cheers, David
JP, that first link, May, was that a small hive you removed? Did you combine or how are they doing now?I did a similar one just at the beginning of this month. The amount of bees were very small but they are home now and seem to be doing good. Will inspect for the first timeand remove the cover from the medium tomorrow. Yeah, I took the cover home with me! :evil: Will return it after I cut off the combs attached.

Fun with USB ports! Am wracking my brain but I had problems too (not with camera) between USB1 and USB2 connections. Check that your camera and computer ports are the same USB#. From memory I think you can plug USB2 externals into a USB1 port on your computer, and not vice versa .... but I may be wrong. Easy answer is to get a USB port that is compatible with your camera installed on your computer (it's cheap!). Or get in touch with Minolta and ask them :-) Good luck!

SLE is an autoimmune disease capable of causing severe tissue damage in many organs. The cause of SLE is unknown, but recent research has identified infection-fighting proteins called interferons (or IFNs) which are made and released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites or tumor cells. IFNs allow for communication between cells to trigger the protective defenses of the immune system that eradicate pathogens or tumors.

I've seen a lot of tips and tricks when it comes to painting and weathering, and I have a concept in my head. I just don't know if it would work.
First, taking a piece of sintra-based armour and preparing it with a primer.
Second, using Rub'n'Buff to make the armour look like a piece of metal.
Third, masking sections of the armour with a masking agent.
Fourth, spray painting a solid colour all over the armour.
Fifth, removing the masking agent areas.
I guess the questions that come to mind are:
* Can a masking agent be used on sintra. If so, which one/kind?
* Will spray paint stick effectively to a piece of sintra with Rub'n'Buff on it, as I believe it's quite waxy?
* If all has gone to plan by the fifth step, will the masking agent lift off, but not take the metal colour underneath with it?
Thanks in advance, gurus 8)

Japan is facing a demographic crisis in the coming decades which will result in a dramatic decline of its population unless the people of Japan lay off work in the office and get back to work in the bedroom. A recent survey of married couples revealed over half did not have sex over the past month. A high percent of men said they were "too tired" after working a full day to go home and have a little sex with their wives. A study bey Durex found that the average Japanese couple has sex about 45 times a year which is half the world average.
Japan has a birth rate of 1.34 which is the among the lowest in the world. If this rate persists, the Japanese population in 2050 will drop to 95 million from its current 124 million. Keidanren, Japan's largest business organization is asking its 1,600 members to allow its married members to spend more time at home, and, hopefully, fooling around with the spouse in a burst of Japanese patriotism to keep their nation strong.

Here is Jill Chambers website, Jill is sister to Barbara, who is the author of a very good site on researching ancestors in the Napoleonic Wars.
Jill's area of interest is the Swing Riots 1830 – 1831, I have an ancestors, Enos Diddams, who was very involved in this period of civil unrest in England. Jill is the author of a numbers of books giving background history and details of those involved in the riots and what happened to them.
So if you have family living along the south coast at this time and they seem to disappear then you need to check out if they were involved in the riots and what was their fate. Sentences for those caught ranged from hanging to transportation to fines.
Great site, well worth a look even if your folk weren't ag labs.

Fox's Bret Baier Distorts Americans' Support For Increasing Taxes On Wealthy
Blog ››› ››› HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY
Fox's Bret Baier misleadingly cited recent polling to falsely imply Americans are evenly split on whether income taxes should be raised for the wealthy. In fact, 60 percent of voters support some form of increase in income taxes.
During a report on Friday previewing President Obama's speech on the economy and his administration's plan to work with Congress on solving the fiscal crisis, Baier suggested Obama would argue that the election "sent a message" that Americans "are for this balanced approach, to have the wealthy pay their fair share."
Baier then cited election-night polls that he said did not show "a definitive answer" as to how voters feel about raising taxes on those making more than $250,000 -- which is part of Obama's solution to the economic crisis. Baier stated: "On the question of -- on income tax rates, you have 47 percent wanting an increase for only those above $250,000, 35 percent no increase, on tax increases, and 13 percent for increase for all." He concluded: "So basically, 47 percent want 250,000, or above and 48 percent don't raise them at all or raise them for everyone."
He concluded: "So, you know, if you look at the exit polls, there's not really a definitive answer."
But that 48 percent statistic he cited comes from adding the numbers of those who would prefer no tax increase on anyone and those who favor increasing them on everyone -- which are two completely different indicators. Indeed, what the poll actually shows is that 60 percent of Americans support some form of tax increase.
Other polls confirm this view. An October 12 Pew Research Center survey found that 64 percent of Americans support increasing taxes on households making more than $250,000, which echoed the findings of a December 2011 survey concluding that 57 percent of Americans feel wealthy people don't pay their fair share of taxes.
An Associated Press poll in August found that 53 percent of Americans would choose to raise taxes rather than cut Social Security benefits for future generations.

can you put motor oil in kiwi's?
I didn't do any of this. everything i've ever said was a lie.
did DED change their mop nibs?
i just got me a new ded mop and i have to press down on it to get the ink to flow
but with my old ded mop i can just hold it upside down and squeeze then it will flow.

yo i just picked up a dozen of the OT mops, theyre fuckin tiny man! i keep hearin that the AP replacement nibs will fit on em but they seem way too small ppl keep sayin that theyre the same size as the krink mops but i really dont think they are nebody like tried em out for sure and got em to fit?
yea dude, i never bought any of the krink mops but they always looked way bigger on the fuckin youtube reviews or whatever, imean its all good, mops a mop as long as i can get new nibs for em, but dayum! yo and i pulled the flow regulator outta em and the fuckin felt sits like way below the rim of the nib, can u still get em drippy if u leave it in? cuz at least with it in the felt is pushed out a lil so it looks like itll make fuckin contact with the wall yakno
among other things
yo I just picked up an OTR .60
I thought it was going to be mad drippy and i was kind let down

....look through the thread. there is link a couple threads back or look in the ink recipes thread.
yo anybody know where to buy mini wides? my cousin had one of the old school ones and it got the phattest lookin caligraphy lines but i cant find a place to pick em up at all, ive made em myself but they never seem to be as good.
oh and for the dude asking about the OT mops here:
while i agree that you should look around before opening ur mouth, i too am cripplingly (not a word) lazy
yo maso..how are those dykem mops?
id be down to trade somthin for one or 2
aiight so im posting this mostly because i found it while im at work and i have no way to send it to myself, but ive found the spot to buy just the krink ball point nibs, they fit on the OT bodys and theyre like 1.45 a piece, voila:
your all welcome.
