Bob Englar would like to help tractor-trailer trucks fly...not literally, of course.
With support from the U.S. Department of Energy and American Trucking Associations, Englar is applying aerodynamic concepts and "Circulation Control" flight systems developed for aircraft to 18-wheelers. The goals include reducing fuel consumption and giving drivers better control of the big rigs under adverse conditions.
"We are taking flight-proven aircraft technology that we've already shown works on streamlined cars and applying it to trucks," said Englar, principal research engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). "Current trucks, primarily the trailers, are anything but streamlined, so whatever can be done to reduce the drag will help fuel economy."
Englar expects the work -- done under contract with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory -- to reduce aerodynamic drag by at least 35 percent, and perhaps by 50 percent or more. A 35 percent drag reduction translates to approximately a 12 percent drop in fuel consumption for tractor-trailers. If applied to the entire U.S. fleet, that would save an estimated 1.2 billion gallons of fuel a year.
Beyond the fuel savings, however, the Circulation Control system being developed and evaluated in GTRI's wind tunnel could improve directional control for trailers, increase traction, and augment braking. Also known as pneumatic control, this aerodynamic system could also create lift on the trailer, effectively reducing its weight. That would cut rolling resistance on tires, reduce wear and also increase fuel economy.
The pneumatic system works by blowing compressed air from slots located on different parts of the trailer. Air blown over curved surfaces on top of the trailer smooths airflow
there, decreasing drag and making the entire trailer act like a wing to lift as much as 15 percent of the weight off the tires. Blowing air from slots on the bottom of the truck would have the opposite effect, multiplying downward force on the tires to improve traction and braking when needed. Combined blowing from all sides further reduces flow separation and drag.
Blowing slots on each side of the trailer could counter crosswinds, giving the driver a way to fight the effects of sway, as well as jackknifing. By selecting the right slot combination and blowing rates, the pneumatics could be used to increase drag to augment aerodynamic braking.
"We can augment force and/or moment, either increasing it or decreasing it, and produce it in whatever direction is needed, all without any moving external surfaces," Englar explained. "Producing aerodynamic drag and increasing resistance on the tires could really help truckers in difficult downhill areas or for emergency stopping. Beyond the fuel cost issue, there is a lot of interest in this from the standpoint of improving safety."
Controlled by internal fast-acting valves, the pneumatic system would respond quickly to driver actions. "It would only take a fraction of a second between when the driver initiated the pulse and when the system would cause the effect," Englar said. "Using an automated system, the driver wouldn't even have to think about how it works. Pressing the brakes or accelerator, or moving the steering wheel, would cause the proper blowing slots to come on and assist the conventional controls."
Compressed air for the system could come from the exhaust gases, the turbocharger on the truck engine, storage tanks, or an electrically-powered compressor in the trailer.
Englar's research team at the GTRI Aerospace, Transportation & Advanced Systems Lab has begun testing small-scale truck models at GTRI's low-speed wind tunnel. With computational support from Dr. Marilyn Smith and graduate students in Georgia Tech's School of Aerospace Engineering, this initial program will evaluate the effectiveness of the pneumatic system and pave the way for eventual testing on full-size vehicles. The work was described in a recent paper at a meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
"There would be both fuel savings and a safety payoff, so the synergies are really quite interesting" said Victor Suski, senior automotive engineer with the American Trucking Associations. "Everybody who has heard about this intuitively feels there is great potential here."
Rising fuel costs have boosted interest in fuel economy improvements, but most efforts so far have focused on the tractors that pull the large trailers. Suski believes future efforts should target reducing drag on the trailers.
"All of the benefits that are yet to be gained in fuel economy will probably come from refining the trailer aerodynamics," he said. "Until that is done, we will continue to see trucking companies going out of business because they cannot afford their fuel bills. Fuel is not going to get cheaper over the long term."
Suski sees the potential for improving the average fuel efficiency in heavy trucks to as much as 12 miles per gallon, up from an industry average of less than 6.8 miles per gallon today. If testing on full-sized vehicles demonstrates the savings expected, truck purchasers will demand the new technology and manufacturers will incorporate it, he predicted.
Because fuel savings can be easily quantified, they will drive advancement of the Circulation Control technology. But if the expected safety improvements ultimately result in lower accident rates, reduced insurance premiums could also add to the benefit, he noted.
Circulation Control systems were developed and tested on fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft by Englar and his associates in the 1970s and 1980s as a simplified means of greatly increasing lift, improving control and reducing take-off and landing distances. During the 1990s, GTRI engineers applied the technique to automobiles, demonstrating significant savings in drag and energy use, as well as controllability.
Protected by two patents, the automotive application -- known as "GTRI FutureCar"-- produced measured drag reductions of up to 35 percent by altering the flow separation and vortex formation around the rear of the vehicle. Englar believes even larger reductions may be possible on trucks, which will gain substantial drag reductions above the basic streamlining already used in passenger cars.
"Clever design can already take perhaps 10-15 percent off the drag on a tractor/trailer just through good non-blown aerodynamics," he said. "The trucking industry is already making use of fairings and other devices to reduce drag, but much more can be done."
Rounding off corners on trailers, matching the fairing height on tractors to the height of trailers and reducing the gap between tractor and trailer are among the steps that GTRI tests have shown would reduce drag and improve fuel economy, he noted.
The Georgia Tech team has been working with major manufacturers of tractors and trailers to ensure that recommended changes would be practical. Englar expects much of the technology could be retrofitted onto the existing truck fleet as it becomes standard equipment on new vehicles.
Once the Circulation Control techniques have been demonstrated in the wind tunnel, the researchers will work with the Department of Energy and the American Trucking Associations to scale them up for testing on real vehicles. Trucks equipped with the new devices would be tested against standard vehicles across a wide range of conditions.

For seven years, Xinran Xue hosted a daily radio phone-in programme for Radio Nanjing during which she discussed women's lives, and invited women to call in and talk about themselves. Broadcast between 10 and 12 at night, Words on the Night Breeze soon became famous all over China for its powerful, honest discussions of what it means to be a woman in today's China. It started in 1990, a time when China seemed to be 'opening up', both for the Chinese and for the world. Xinran's programme revealed aspects of women's lives that had never been talked about in public before. She felt as if she was opening a tiny window into a huge fortress whose inhabitants had never before communicated with the outside world. Soon she was receiving over two hundred letters a day from women telling her their stories. She realised that she knew far less than she had thought about what it means to be a Chinese woman and embarked on a journey of discovery to collect their stories. The stories presented here tell of almost inconceivable suffering: rape, sexual abuse, the separation of parents from their children, the suppression of human emotion in order to survive the Communist regime - never before have the tortured souls of Chinese women been laid so bare. And yet this is also a book about love - about how, despite cruelty, despite politics, the female urge to nurture and cherish remains. And then there is Xinran herself: an extraordinary woman who, despite her own unhappy past, has given her life to saving the stories of Chinese women from oblivion,.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
An unprecedented, intimate account of the lives of modern Chinese women, told by the women themselves -- true stories of the political and personal upheavals they have endured in their chaotic and repressive society
For eight groundbreaking years, Xinran hosted a radio program in China during which she invited women to call in and talk about themselves. Broadcast every evening, Words on the Night Breeze became famous throughout the country for its unflinching portrayal of what it meant to be a woman in modern China. Centuries of obedience to their fathers, husbands and sons, followed by years of fear under Communism, had made women terrified of talking openly about their feelings. Xinran won their trust and, through her compassion and ability to listen, became the first woman to hear their true stories.
This unforgettable book is the story of how Xinran negotiated the minefield of restrictions imposed on Chinese journalists to reach out to women across the country. Through the vivid intimacy of her writing, these women confide in the reader, sharing their deepest secrets. Whether they are the privileged wives of party leaders or peasants in a forgotten corner of the countryside, they tell of almost inconceivable suffering: forced marriages, sexual abuse, separation of parents from their children, extreme poverty. But they also talk about love -- about how, despite cruelty, despite politics, the urge to nurture and cherish remains. Their stories changed Xinran?s understanding of China forever. Her book will reveal the lives of Chinese women to the West as never before.
"These are stories that must be read. The lives of these anonymous women are so moving that when I finished reading their stories I felt my soul had been altered. This is a rare collection of testimonies that show the scale of our humanity, both good and bad, wondrous and horrific. The voices are poetic in their simplicity and honesty. I feel privileged and humbled to have been witness to the lives of these good women."
--Amy Tan

text: Article | Social Psychological & Personality Science | May 2013 Here's a Tip: Prosocial Gratuities Are Linked to Corruption Magnus Thor Torfason, Francis J. Flynn and Daniella Kupor We investigated the link between tipping, an altruistic act, and bribery, an immoral act. We found a positive relationship between these two seemingly unrelated behaviors, using archival cross-national data for 32 countries, and controlling for per capita GDP, income inequality, and other factors. Countries that had higher rates of tipping behavior tended to have higher rates of corruption. We suggest that this surprising association may be accounted for by temporal focus—people may tip and bribe others in order to receive special services in the future. Indeed, in a pair of follow-up survey studies, we find evidence that the link between tipping and bribery can be partly accounted for by prospective orientation.

WATCH: Nicki Minaj shows love on 'The Queen Latifah Show'
Listen to Nicki Minaj on iHeartRadio
Nicki Minaj has some kind words for Queen Latifah.
The Harajuku Barbie stopped by The Queen Latifah Show to show off her new clothing line for K-Mart and took time to gush over the show's hostess.
"You've opened so many doors for me and so many other women," she said. "And it's insane because I always reference you when I talk about female rappers who've like kinda paved the way in terms of a businesswoman and mogul and just all around entertainer, and to be sitting here doing your show is just a great moment for hip-hop."
It's nice to hear Nicki paying respect to one of the first female rappers to hit the big time.

Church, Chesney among Straits guests for tour finale
Listen to Eric Church on iHeartradio | Listen to Kenny Chesney on iHeartRadio
Eric Church and Kenny Chesney are among the guests taking part in George Strait's tour finale. Eric says he's honored to be included, but admits it's not really a joyous occasion.
Chesney says Strait has been a hero, a friend, and an inspiration to him. He adds that he's learned many things from George, including the power of a great song. Kenny explains that Strait's music will "never go out of style" because his songs "touch people's lives."
Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, and Martina McBride are also on board for Strait's tour finale, along with Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, and Sheryl Crow. Each guest is slated to take the stage for three songs. The last concert of Strait's "Cowboy Rides Away" tour is set for AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday.

GSA Names Key Leaders, Announcements of New Chief of Staff, Associate Administrator for Congressional Affairs
June 14, 2006
Contact: Katharine Uhre,(202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced the appointments of John Phelps as Chief of Staff and Kevin Messner as Associate Administrator for the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs (OCIA). Mr. Phelps and Mr. Messner will join the agency on July 3 and June 26, respectively. GSA also announced that Susan Peppler has been named as Senior Advisor for Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs, which became effective on May 8.
John Phelps most recently served as Chief Operating Officer of the Arizona Red Cross, where he was responsible for operations of the sixth-largest American Red Cross chapter in the United States. Previously, Mr. Phelps was the Deputy Director of the Arizona Office of Homeland Security and led the creation of systems and processes within the office to provide more effective and efficient support to hundreds of first responder organizations. Mr. Phelps also had a distinguished career in the military that included serving as a Colonel in the U.S. Army, as the Chief of Staff for U.S. Army Legal Services Agency and as a professor and assistant department head for Administration in the Department of Law at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY.
"John is a truly exceptional individual whom I've known for many years, and I have the utmost confidence in his ability to serve as GSA's Chief of Staff," said GSA Administrator Lurita Doan. "He has extensive expertise in organizing and managing large efforts and combines that with superior negotiating skills. In addition, he brings to the position a solid background in emergency management and disaster recovery."
A native of Arizona, Mr. Phelps graduated magna cum laude from St. John's University in Minnesota with a bachelor's degree in government. He has a juris doctorate from the University of Arizona, a Master of Laws from the Judge Advocate General's School in Charlottesville, Va. and a Master of Laws from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va.
Mr. Messner will join GSA's leadership team after serving as Chief of Staff for Congressman Jim Kolbe (R-AZ). His experience working on Capitol Hill also includes serving as Chief of Staff for Congressman Rick Renzi (R-AZ) and as a Legislative Director for Congressman Kolbe on appropriation and immigration issues. Mr. Messner has also worked in the transportation and automotive industries.
"I've known Kevin for many years. His rise from intern to staff assistant to legislative director to chief of staff has been meteoric, but hardly surprising," said Congressman Kolbe. "Kevin brings the unique perspective of having 'been there done that' in working with the Senate and Congress, and knowing what it takes to be responsive to their requests and concerns. His experience as chief of staff, organizing and managing a team, establishing and executing an agenda, are going to be very valuable to GSA."
"Kevin's Hill experience will be invaluable to GSA," Administrator Doan said. "He has the knowledge and experience needed to represent the agency on the Hill and to be responsive to Congressional requests and concerns. In addition, his leadership and management experience will be assets to GSA. We are fortunate to have someone of Kevin's caliber to lead the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs."
Mr. Messner received his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Wisconsin and graduated with distinction from the Thunderbird, the Garvin School of International Management with a masters degree in International Management.
Supporting Mr. Messner, Susan Peppler will serve as Senior Advisor for the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs, where she will coordinate and manage GSA's relationship with other federal, state and local agencies. Additionally, she will advise the Administrator and Deputy Administrator on intra-agency relationships, policies and strategies. Most recently, Mrs. Peppler served as mayor of the City of Redlands, Calif., where she was first elected to the City Council in November 1999. She is only the third woman to serve
as mayor since the city's incorporation in 1888. As mayor, Mrs. Peppler set policies in many areas of local government, including finance, housing, redevelopment and public safety, among others. She also played a key role in the development and success of the Governmental Partnership Program for the League of California Cities and received significant recognition for her role in Civic Leadership, including "Woman of Distinction" from the California State Assembly 63rd District, an Exemplary Service Award and a Distinguished Service Medal. She also spent 18 years in the insurance and legal industries working on legislative and regulatory issues.
"Susan's experience in the public and private sectors working with various and diverse constituencies to affect policies provides her with a unique breadth of knowledge that is an invaluable asset for the agency," Administrator Doan said. "Her expertise will be essential as GSA works to advance and fortify its relationships within the government, especially with our customer agencies."
Mrs. Peppler graduated from California State University San Bernardino with a bachelor of arts degree in political science.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing governmentwide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps Federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

Artichoke extract stimulates bile production, promoting fat digestion and metabolism. By stimulating bile, it supports liver and gallbladder function and may help relieve occasional indigestion. Medical experts theorize that it may also inhibit activity of the cholesterol production enzyme HMG CoA Reductase to balance LDL cholesterol and triglyceride production in the liver for cardiovascular support. Source Naturals Artichoke Extract 500 is standardized to 5 percent cynarin and 15 percent chlorogenic acids for maximum potency.
Traditionally, artichoke globes and their leaf extracts have been used to promote digestive health. But it is the leaves that contain the highest concentration of beneficial antioxidant polyphenolic compounds such as cynarin, luteolin and chlorogenic acids.
The polyphenols in artichoke leaf extract stimulate increased bile production in your body. It mixes with and emulsifies fats to support fat digestion and fat metabolism.
In addition to having digestive benefits, artichoke extract also helps to maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range. artichoke extract may also help to remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, artichoke extract may also help to remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, which promotes your cardiovascular health.

That method is no longer used.
apt-get install (whatever you need)
just installed backtrack Pre
i want to install a certain .lzm ( module)
so i type lzm2dir test.lzm /
bash : lzm2dir : command not found.
does any1 else have this problem ?
That method is no longer used.
apt-get install (whatever you need)
I think it's still handy to have lzm2dir for installing applications that you can't get from apt-get, for instance I used lzm2dir to install SpoonWEP recently.
For what's it worth, it would have my vote to remain on the LiveCD.
Ask questions on the open forums, that way everybody benefits from the solution, and everybody can be corrected when they make mistakes. Don't send me private messages asking questions that should be asked on the open forums, I won't respond. I decline all "Friend Requests".
Better to put your request in for a feature in the final BT4.....Spoonwep2.
download alien then convert it to .deb.........
last time I commented on such a thread I got in infraction... but I will allow myself to comment again. Dude, why the hell did you apt-get install spoonwep.lzm? OMG...
Ok, to the point. Even if you manage to install it it will not work. It's built for another distro, another kernel, another version of aircrack... just wait till the developer comes up with the latest version, until then google for "wep crack script". Not a gui, but hell, ... hope you manage without one.
Man apt-get will probably help you more (at the OP) than spoonwep.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.

Bank breaks into wrong home, repossesses all the belongings
Having your belongings repossessed by a bank hurts, but it's worse when it's done by accident.
That's what one central Ohio woman claims happened to her.
"Katie Barnett says that the First National Bank in Wellston foreclosed on her house, even though it was not her bank," 10TV.com reports.
"They repossessed my house on accident, thinking it was the house across the street," Barnett explained.
Barnett added that she was away when the bank decided to break into her home and take her things.
She said she had "to crawl through the window of her own house in order to get in after she used her own key that did not work," the report adds.

Checkmate Pizza
Cutting a bold front with canary yellow and black trimmings, pizza enthusiasts follow chess piece-silhouettes to the doors of this Kennedy Town eatery where doughy rounds and other Italian dishes make up menu staples. Boasting chess-themed names like Pawn, Dark Knight, White Bishop, and The Grandmaster – the house special piling on salami, Italian sausage, and ham – the restaurant's extensive pie choices complement large appetites with equally sizeable proportions measuring up to 30 inches. Divergent tastebuds wrap shreds of BBQ chicken in calzones and fork down signature four-layered baked lasagna, or stray from carby offerings in the company of hand-rolled beef meatballs, and crunchy calamari rings.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
In 1961, Vincent Capone owned the Flicker-lite Lounge on Grand Avenue in Chicago. Dreaming of warmer climes, he headed south to a sleepy town called Hollywood, where there was only one restaurant on the beach. Capone opened the second. His wife, Joan, did the cooking, and when they added Chicago-style pizza to the menu, a local institution was born. The Capone family still runs the place, which added waterfront dining in 1980, and some of the bartenders have been around since that decade. Another expansion in 1994 didn't mess with the local flavor. The barstools are still well-worn, the meatballs are still homemade, and every Bears game is still watched religiously. So Green Bay Packers fans may want to stay away on NFL Sundays.
Anyone who's made the gay scene, or just tooled around the offbeat circuit, probably knows about Miss Misty Eyez. She's the MC at just about every charity gala, to-do, or party worth putting your heart into. From her aerosol-sculpted hair to her legendarily generous heart, everything about Miss Eyez is larger than life, and that's how she became known as the fiercest drag queen this side of Vegas. Misty has hosted Trailer Trash Bingo parties, Red Balls, White Parties. "If somebody has enough gumption to ask me, I will always participate."
In the early years, it was solely benefits. But demand grew until, soon, everyone wanted Miss Misty Eyez at their parties. And they started paying her. Now Misty is almost a corporation, and in Fort Lauderdale she is certainly an institution. We wanted to know what it's like to be wanton, large, and in charge.
New Times (on the telephone): Sorry to call you out of the blue, but it sounds like you're somewhere really fun!
Miss Misty Eyez: Actually, yes! I'm at a party!
It's 3:26 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. You're at a party?
Well, it's a pool party, if that makes a difference.
What's the best part about being, er, undercover?
Well, like today, for instance. I'm here at this pool party [in drag] and I could be Misty Eyez. I could be foolish or say something ridiculous. Then tomorrow I could go shopping at Kmart and nobody would recognize me! It's like Clark Kent changing into Wonder Woman. It's great.
Got any secret weapons? Some gadget that you pull out at crucial moments?
Easy. Pump It Up Gold hair spray! I found it by accident, and, I tell you, it changed my life. I sprayed it on the wig and realized, "Ohmigod. My hair's cemented."
Are there any exotic places that you would like your Misty Eyez character to take you? A fabulous beach resort? A city with rickshaws?
(Thinking hard.) Hmmm. Yes! Television! I would love for Misty Eyez to be a host correspondent on E-TV. Or a guest star on Queer As Folk. Or maybe a dead body on CSI.
We know, it used to be Blondies on the Beach. And not much other than the 50 upgraded plasmas TVs has changed here at this bar on one of the few historic blocks in Fort Lauderdale. It's back after a months-long closure not the kind of door-slamming where old management screwed up and you could count on some new guy swaggering in and fixing up the joint. It was the kind of goodbye brought on by progress and developers who don't seem to give a whit about anything other than making the South Florida coastline along the Atlantic look like Boca Raton. And this five-acre strip was no different at least until negotiations stalled. Partly because those developers are so uncaring and hard-knuckled, thousands more will get a chance to enjoy this old favorite in its new incarnation. Seems the buyout of the entire block including the hallowed ground of the Elbo Room got screwed up when not everybody could agree on the details needed to close the deal. At some point in our lifetimes, the entire block will likely still be cleared to make way for condominiums or hotels or mixed-use zoning something whatchamacallit. But in the meantime, pull up a chair out front or a stool at the bar and set your gaze on the ocean that's still right in front of you. This view still costs only the price of a beer. The pushy guys the new owners hired early on (the ones who rudely tried to pull you and your girlfriends out of the Elbo Room for a free shot at Dirty Blondes) aren't there anymore. And don't forget to head back to the game room (it's in the same spot in the back), shoot some pool, give your quarters to the Golden Tee, and drink until 4 a.m.
All that's old is made new again: pegged jeans, environmentalism, Cher, blues. Apparently, the same holds true for blues venues. The Backroom Blues Bar wasn't the most famous venue in South Florida when it closed six years ago, but it was one of the most storied. A list of blues greats had played its stage: James Cotton, who taught Muddy Waters how to sing "I Got My Mojo Workin'"; John Mayall, without whom you'd have never heard of Mick Taylor; Fleetwood Mac, or, arguably, Eric Clapton; Leon Russell, without whom neither The Byrds nor Joe Cocker would ever have sounded so cool. The list goes on. When owner John Yurt decided to throw in the towel to home-school John Jr., the blues done got blue. No more! The Backroom is back, occupying the space formerly known as Hideaway. Already, bent and broken-hearted notes from battered hollow-bodies are rending the air above Boca. Rejoice.
Imagine, for the sake of argument, that the retro-lounge art of Shag and the cartoon universe of The Jetsons were tossed in a blender and set to liquefy. The space-age concoction that pours forth will no doubt emerge as iconoclastic as the Jetsetter Lounge itself, a magical space-age tiki-hut where dreams (especially those revolving around expensive tropical drinks) come true. With furniture that won't be out of place on the next century's space station, live lounge lizards crooning on weekends, and the ubiquitous lowbrow paintings on the walls, the Jetsetter sprang forth fully formed when it opened in early 2006, oozing cool the way Mount Kilauea leaks magma. Owner and style consultant Mike Jones built himself a playground for grownups here, and now he's got the hipster crowd eating out of his hand. Out back is a luxurious terrace decked out in a sort of Easter Island theme, and even though you're next to the street, it feels like a friend's backyard barbecue.
Sometimes, all it takes to have a good rock club is good acoustics, a dark atmosphere, and bartenders serving stiff drinks. Longtime Himmarshee hangout the Poor House has all that, and it's one of the few places along the New River district that's down-to-Earth forget about a dress code and cover charge. The small room has the feel of an old country roadhouse, and it indeed began its life as a blues club back in the mid '90s. The music doesn't start until late, usually around midnight, so don't show up too early. But the atmosphere and décor scream old-school rockabilly, and folks can enjoy it without having to shell out a heap of cash. If the name doesn't give it away, the Poor House is also one of the cheapest rock clubs to drink at.

Rancho Cordova Police will Issue 'Ice Cream Citations'
RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. -- The Rancho Cordova Police Department is rewarding safe bicyclists with ice cream.
Sgt. Jason Ramos says that from now until Nov. 2, officers will be implementing a Bicycle Safe/Back to School outreach initiative targeting kids 12 and younger. Officers will be looking for those wearing helmets while riding a bicycle and following the rules of the road.
"Then they get issued a safety citation. And it's not citation in the negative sense of the word, but they can go and exchange them for a free ice cream cone at a McDonald's restaurant in the city of Rancho Cordova.
Those who are not wearing a helmet will get a safety citation as well, one that allows them to receive a bicycle helmet.
Safety tips for bike riding from Rancho Cordova Police:
- ALWAYS wear helmets while riding. Studies have shown that using a bicycle helmet can reduce head injuries by up to 85 percent. Helmets should have a snug, yet comfortable fit.
- Make sure children wear proper clothing – light in color to be more visible, and close-fitting to avoid being caught in the bicycle's moving parts. Also, make sure loose items traveled with are kept in a backpack, rather than held.
- OBEY ALL RULES OF THE ROAD. These include stop and yield signs, signals, and road markings. Teach children to ride on the right side of the street, with the flow of traffic.
- Before entering a street or intersection, check for traffic and always look left-right-left. Walk the bike across busy streets at corners or crosswalks.

This thread deserves the
Printable View
This thread deserves the
only if thesurfersview extended all along the east coast instead of just ny and nj. They have some really good cams
Best thing you can do it looks for a landmark or something when the cam scrolls from left to right it might be a good place to start .
theres a reason the cam is called "monmouth county" and not the specific spot...its a **** show there already and they dont need anymore kooks like you there
im just going to let the cat out of the bag and end this dispute, the cam is located off ocean avenue and fake street.. enjoy
big bruddah is watching.........
Here's a good way for two kooks to figure this out. Kook #1 goes out and runs the length of the beach in Monmouth County from Sandy Hook to Manasquan, waving his hands wildly while he runs. He wears a brightly colored jumpsuit so he is easily identifiable. Kook #2 stays home and watches the cam closely. When kook #1 appears on the camera, he calls kook #1. Mystery solved!
Get a screen grab from the cam. Call it the view from your window and email it to Andrew Sullivan. Hope that he uses it for a View from Your Window Contest.
if you can't figure it out on your own, i.e. not willing to put in the time instead of just someone who you don't know telling you, then basically you don't belong there

Washington, D.C.
The United States remains the largest and wealthiest economy in the world. U.S. consumer demand for goods and services is considerable, even in light of recent economic downturn. The American manufacturing sector is one the world's largest and its demand for high-quality manufacturing inputs is also strong. The U.S. is one of the world leaders in science and technology, accounting for one third of global research and development spending among OECD members (OECD 2010, Main S&T indicators, vol. 2010/11). It represents the primary source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Canada. U.S. innovation networks have long drawn on this vast pool of capital to build an unparalleled track record in the commercialization of new ideas. Given the many global enterprises with a U.S. presence, the U.S. market provides Canadian companies with excellent access to global value chains. As other countries continue to deepen their trade links with the U.S., the competitive advantage Canada has enjoyed as a partner in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will erode. At the same time, U.S. concerns about border security, product safety, the recent economic downturn as well as currency fluctuation have created uncertainties in the U.S. market. Due to the size, dynamism and proximity of the U.S. market, our southern neighbour will remain Canada's most important economic partner and largest source of commercial opportunity.
Commercial Relations, 2009
- Canada's bilateral goods and services trade with the U.S. was $592.8 billion.
- Canadian goods and services exports to the U.S. were $306.6 billion, while imports were $286.2 billion
- Canada's exports of goods and services to the U.S. are equivalent to 20 percent of our gross domestic product (GDP).

- Aerospace and Defence: The U.S. is the single largest market for Canadian aerospace and defence companies, accounting for 59 percent of the sector's exports in 2009.
- Agriculture, Food and Beverages: Canada is the largest exporter of food products to the U.S., many of which are processed and sold through supply chains that span the globe.

- Clean-technologies: Encompassing environmental industries and renewable energy, the U.S. offers significant growth and innovation potential for Canadian companies.
- Green Building: The green building market require Canadian companies able to differentiate their product offering. Demand for green and energy efficient technologies covers the construction of new houses, the retrofitting of buildings and more stringent building codes.
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT): In the first Quarter of 2010, 63 percent of Canadian ICT goods were exported to the United States, according to Industry Canada. The key priority ITC sub-sectors for Canada in the U.S. include digital media, wireless, and health IT.

Government Leadership and Support
Canada's most important trade policy instrument with the U.S. is the NAFTA, which has revolutionized continental trade and investment and helped unlock our region's economic potential. The Government of Canada is committed to leveraging the NAFTA to further strengthen our nation's regional linkages, including addressing outstanding issues such as regulatory differences, border requirements and national procurement preferences (e.g. Buy American) in sectors that have a high degree of business integration and commonality of interests and where there is clear potential for improvement. Canada's Trade Commissioner Service—which was expanded in 2003 and now comprises 22 Consulates General, Consulates and Trade Offices located in major commercial centres across the country—will continue to provide Canadian businesses with the information, advice and support they need to advance their U.S. commercial interests, with increasing emphasis on cultivating foreign investment and technology commercialisation partnership opportunities for Canadian firms to integrate into U.S.-led and other global value chains.
Market Access
Canada has a number of bilateral trade and investment policy instruments in place that are helping to facilitate and support Canadian commercial engagement in the country:

- Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement
- North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
- Canada-U.S. Air Transport Agreement

The foot is made up of tarsal bones, metatarsal bones and phalanges.
A bunion is a painful deformity of the bones and joint between the foot and the big toe. Long-term irritation (chronic inflammation) from arthritis, poorly-fitting shoes, or heredity causes the joint to thicken and enlarge. This causes the bones of the big toe to angle in toward and over the second toe, the foot bone (metatarsal) to angle out toward the other foot, and the skin to thicken (callus formation).
Surgery is recommended to correct the deformity, reconstruct the bones and joint, and restore normal, pain-free function.
Removal of a bunion is usually done while the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia) and rarely requires a hospital stay. An incision is made along the bones of the big toe into the foot. The deformed joint and bones are repaired and the bones are stabilized with a pin or cast.
The patient is advised to keep the foot propped up and protected from pressure, weight, and injury while it heals. Complete recovery may require 3 to 5 weeks.
