Prior Design Mercedes R230 SL Black Edition widebody kit does its best SL Black Series impressionPrior Design has been putting out some great SL kits as of late. Here is their latest wide, very wide, body kit. The kit consists of a new front bumper, rear bumper, front fenders, front bonnet, side skirts, rear fenders, rear diffuser, and a rear trunk spoiler. Other than the LED's in the front bumper (this LED obsession needs to stop) we like the kit a lot. Pricing information to come shortly, enjoy the pictures.

I'm really digging this body kit. I'm sure the price is up there and that doesnt include going to your wheel company of choice (mine in this case HRE) and seeing if they have wider barrels for your wheels. I hear part of the high price is the headlight. Thats if you have the older body style. Looks fantastic not the less.

Jelly Vision
Above we have an ad for a 1994 series of twelve Looney Tunes Welch's jelly jars. These may very well be the easiest to find pieces of Looney Tunes memorabilia ever made. I'm serious. Visit any yard sale, flea market or thrift store in the United States and chances are you will stumble across one or two of these things. You might even have a couple in the back of your cupboard and not even know it. The reason for this is pretty simple. Almost everybody buys jelly, even people who don't particularly like jelly keep a jar in the fridge just in case they have somebody over who may like jelly. So, if you are going to buy the stuff anyway, it might as well be in a jar with Daffy Duck on it.
The 1994 set was so successful that Welch's issued a second set of six Looney Tunes jelly jars the following year. A checklist can be found here. As you can see from that link, the Welch's folks had been putting beloved cartoon stars on their jelly jars for decades (in fact, there were two previous LT sets before 1994, one in 1974 and another in 1976).

I had all these glasses at one point. Im missing the very first one.
Also, when my aunt died, we got two tall Pepsi glasses of Bugs and Porky from 1973.

Modeling Single-Screw Extrusion Processing Parameters and Resulting Extrudate Properties of DDGS-Based Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Feeds
- Ferouz Ayadi
- Parisa Fallahi
- Kurt Rosentrater
- Kasiviswanathan Muthukumarappan
A single-screw laboratory extruder was used to conduct an L18 (22 ´ 36) Taguchi fractional factorial study of aquafeed processing. The ingredients were based on a formulation for nutritionally-balanced Nile tilapia diets containing distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and soybean meal as the main protein sources, in addition to constant amounts of corn flour, whey, and fishmeal. The effects of three levels of DDGS (20, 30 and 40%), soybean meal (30, 40 and 50%), ingredient moisture content (20, 30 and 40% db), screw speed (100, 150 and 200 rpm), die dimension (L/D ratios of 5, 9 and 13), barrel temperature (80-100-100°C, 80-120-120°C and 80-140-140°C) and two levels of screw configuration (compression ratios of 2:1 and 3:1) on extrudate physical properties (moisture content, water activity, bulk density, unit density, expansion ratio, pellet durability index, water absorption and solubility indices, water stability, color) and extruder processing parameters (resulting temperatures, die pressure, extruder torque, mass flow rate, apparent viscosity, and specific mechanical energy) were determined. Data from raw materials, processing conditions, and extrudate properties were used to develop surface response curves and equations. However, predominantly low R2 values (< 0.5) only permitted linear relationships between some independent parameters and response variables. Regarding main effects, die pressure significantly decreased with higher DDGS levels, moisture content, temperature, lower die L/D, and higher screw compression. Expansion ratio decreased significantly with higher moisture content and lower die L/D. Significant differences in color were caused by changes in DDGS levels and moisture content. In summary, DDGS, moisture content, die dimension, and extrusion conditions had the biggest impact on most of the extrudate physical properties and processing conditions. Different combinations of these independent factors can be used to achieve desired extrudate physical properties and processing conditions.

2009 River of Skulls
Gold Medal and Best of Show - Riverside International Wine Competition
In 1805, Lieutenant Gabriel Moraga was ordered by the Spanish Governor of California to explore the Great Central Valley and to (re)name everything he found.
One day Gabe came across a river the banks of which were littered with skulls. No one knows how the skulls came to be there. Perhaps an ancient battle. Or perhaps a really great party gone horribly wrong.
Whatever. Old Gabe, being a true master of the obvious, named this river "El Rio De Las Calaveras" or in english, "The River of Skulls."
I wish more vineyards would experiment with 100% Mourvédre. High alcohol but you don't notice it. Filtering recommended but not necessary.

Appo boys defeated Charter 16-5 Thursday afternoon in boys lacrosse.
Cross Ferrara and John Dunbar each scored five goals to lead Appoquinimink to a 16-5 victory over visiting Charter School of Wilmington Thursday evening.
The Jaguars dominated play throughout most of the game, played under sunny, but chilly, and windy weather conditions.
Appoquinimink gained quick momentum scoring four goals in the first period. Eric Mack scored the first of his two goals at the 9:38 mark with a blast from the left of Charter goal-keeper Addison Giansiracusa. Ferrara then scored at 7:26 after stealing the ball from the goalkeeper and flipping it in from close range. The Ferrara scored at 5:37 and the rout was on. The Jaguars would score once more in the first period, then three more times in the second period before Charter could beat Jags goalie keeper Noah Given for a 7-1 lead at the half.
Charter would muster more offense in the third quarter, scoring four times, but Appo matched the Force goal for goal, maintaining a comfortable six goal lead at 11-5 with twelve minutes remaining in the contest.
The Jaguars would then score five unanswered goals in the final period to take home the 16-5 victory.
Charter is now 3-5, while Appo improved to 7-1.
After Spring Break, Appoquinimink will host Polytech on Monday, April 28 at 6 p.m.
Charter's next game is set for Tuesday, April 22 at home against DMA at 3:30 p.m.

March 7, 2010
What's going on here? Blue sky completely covered over with white things. I'm not used to this. No rain or anything like that, but just a general cloudiness all round. Ho hum.
I have become a fan of Flavia de Luce! Flavia is the protagonist is Alan Bradley's new novel The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. She's immensely intelligent, witty, a budding scientist, innocent, naive, energetic and to top it off, one of the most determined sleuths to come along in a long time. Don't let the fact that she's only 11 years old put you off. She also happens to love poisons and makes a few of her own in an old chemical lab in the attic of the family's home, Buckshaw, a multi-winged, sprawling old thing somewhere in England. I don't remember if they locate Buckshaw in the novel, but I know there is a Buckshaw in, or around, Chorley in Lancashire.
Now, Lancashire is very important to me and to my family because that is where the paternal grandparents came from. And Chorley is important if for no other reason than Chorley Market where you can buy some of the best sweaters in the world for about £3 which is about 5 or 6 Canadian Dollars. I still have a couple from when I was there with the family in 1995.
Back to Flavia. Flavia will win you heart. She lives with her sisters Daphne and Ophelia and their reclusive Father (her Mother was killed in a climbing accident when Flavia was only one-year-old). One day, Flavia finds a dead body in the cucumber patch. To the normal person, this would be quite a traumatic experience, but as she says, 'I wish I could say I was afraid, but I wasn't. Quite the contrary. This was by far the most interesting thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life.'
What follows is a great read as Flavia goes about trying to discover the identity of the dead person and why he has ended up dead in her garden. Alan Bradley does a masterful job in finding the voice of an 11-year-old. While bumbling along and making lots of mistakes, she is at the same time extremely insightful and you know that this young lady is going to have a very successful career at whatever she decides to do. And I hope that Alan Bradley will give her a long career as an unofficial sleuth.
With this dreadful weather we're having, there won't be much work in the garden today so I am back to the renovations in room 8 which I have given myself a deadline of Sunday coming to have completed. So I've got casings to make, one door to rebuild, stained glass to put into the door, sealed glass unit to get for the door, hang the stained glass in the bay window, finish the moulding around the Jacuzzi, re-hang the door to the patio, and a couple more things that I am sure will make themselves obvious once I get to them. Makes for a busy week.

Police are appealing for information after a "serious assault" in Chesterfield town centre which left the victim needing surgery.
A 22-year-old man was assaulted on Corporation Street in the vicinity of Mojo bar.
The victim recalls being approached by a man who knocked over his drink in a smoking area outside Mojo.
The next thing he remembers is being punched and kicked by a man described as stocky.
The victim suffered injuries including a broken cheek, a broken eye socket and cuts. He has had to undergo surgery as a result of the assault.
The incident, which happened sometime between midnight and 2am on Saturday, January 25, was not reported to police until almost two weeks after the assault.
Anyone who witnessed the assault or has any information should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

George Washington 54, James Madison 53
Kevin Larsen and Joe McDonald scored 12 points apiece to lead
George Washington to a 53-52 win over James Madison on Wednesday in
the home opener for the Dukes.
Larsen and McDonald each made five shots from the field while
Lasan Kromah, who had led George Washington (3-3) in scoring the
past two games, finished with 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting.
The game went back-and-forth, as neither team led by more than
four. Charles Cooke broke the games' seventh tie with a free throw
to put James Madison (1-5) up 48-47 with 3:12 left.
But the Dukes would not see the lead again, as Larsen hit a
layup to help George Washington retake the lead, 52-48, and
Patricio Garino hit a 3-pointer to put the Colonials ahead for
James Madison scored just one basket over the final two minutes
before Andre Nation sank a desperation heave at the buzzer.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) The Browns aren't worried about Johnny Manziel running out of bounds off the field.
Or floating on pool rafts.
After a weekend of partying in Texas, where he was photographed floating on an inflatable swan while drinking champagne in a nightclub pool, Manziel was on the field Tuesday as the Browns opened a mandatory three-day minicamp.
The team is not making their popular Heisman Trophy-winning rookie quarterback - or starter Brian Hoyer - available to the media this week.
Manziel has left Cleveland each of the past three weekends, first taking a trip to Las Vegas, then to Los Angeles for a seminar with other rookies and then to his home state, where in addition to having some fun, he got drafted by the San Diego Padres and attended Game 2 of the NBA finals in San Antonio, sitting near Miami's bench while wearing a retro Cavaliers' cap.
Following practice, Browns first-year coach Mike Pettine said he's not worried about how his young QB spends his free time.
''I'm not concerned,'' Pettine said. ''I would become concerned if it was something criminal and I would be concerned if it affected his job. There's a lot of our guys, if when they leave here if they were followed around, you'd get some very similar pictures. I don't know about an inflatable swan, but you'd still get some pictures.''
Manziel has said he intends to keep living his life to the fullest, and Pettine doesn't feel the need to monitor the 21-year-old's every move.
''The philosophy here is that we're not going to micro-manage the guys,'' Pettine said. ''I was involved in an event this weekend, and if there were some cameras at certain times it probably wouldn't have been the most flattering. It was a group of coaches out and we had a good time, but we were responsible. When it becomes irresponsible or it becomes part of breaking the law or it's something we feel is a potential problem, we'll step in.''
Manziel is currently listed as Cleveland's backup behind Hoyer. The two will compete during training camp next month, when each pass will be dissected.
The dueling QBS are already under scrutiny. During Tuesday's workout, Manziel took snaps with Cleveland's first-team offense as Hoyer continues to be limited as a precaution while recovering from offseason knee surgery.
When he was on the field, Hoyer showed his ability to read the defense and release the ball more quickly than Manziel, who is still learning the nuances of offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan's system and adjusting to the speedier pro game.
That's not to say Manziel didn't show progress.
''He's getting more comfortable in the huddle, calling the plays,'' Pettine said. ''I think he's got a very nice touch with the deep ball. We've added some of the zone-read stuff that Kyle's run with RG3 in Washington and he's done a nice job handling that. He makes improvement every day.''
As for Manziel's extra-curricular activities, his teammates seem to have his back.
Safety Donte Whitner was asked if there's a need to tell Johnny Football to tone down his act.
''Yeah, but I don't think he's out of hand with it,'' Whitner said. ''If he's not out every weekend, he's just a young guy. So going to Vegas, I probably would've been there with Johnny too.''
Wide receiver Andrew Hawkins hasn't seen any reason to think Manziel isn't taking his job seriously.
''I don't know what Johnny does on the weekends. But it's none of my business,'' he said. ''He's out here working his butt off. I'm not keeping tabs on where he goes Friday through Sunday. Johnny works hard, and that's all anybody cares about.''
Pettine understands there's a bright spotlight on Manziel, who seems to relish the hype. In being so public with his actions, Manziel could be placing himself in precarious situations, but Pettine is confident the former Texas A&M star can handle it.
''I think it's something he's used to,'' Pettine said. ''I think that he understands that that (publicity) comes with the territory, but I also think he's a young man that he doesn't want his lifestyle or how he lives it to be affected by social media. That he's not going to (say) `Hey, I'm not leaving my house.'
''I don't think he wants to be that way and it just goes back to we're not going to micromanage him until we feel that it is an issue, and if it's not affecting him on the field, then I don't think that it's anything we need to address at this point.''
NOTES: Pro Bowl WR Josh Gordon continues to practice as the team awaits word on a possible league suspension. ... LT Joe Thomas was full-go after being limited in recent OTAs. ... Pettine confirmed rookie LG Joel Bitonio injured his ankle but said he is expected to be ready for training camp.

November 2012Back in the day, I was incredibly jealous of Lisa Robin Kelly, who played Laurie, the sexy older sister of Eric Foreman on That '70s Show. She was so pretty, and though not all that bright, she sure could rock a pair of bell bottoms. These days, however, it's mugshots she's racking up ... and they're not so pretty.
The latest one above was taken last night after the 42-year-old was reportedly busted for assaulting a man, identified as her husband. He was arrested too after an incident at their home in which TMZ reports that they allegedly assaulted one another. Apparently no drugs or alcohol were involved, but things must have been pretty bad to get to this level ... AGAIN.
That's right, the same thing happened back in March, which brought us this second in the series of her mugshots that seem to be getting progressively worse.
March 2012
It's a close call between this one and the new one, but I'm going to say the most recent is the worst of all. Her eyes definitely look a little more deranged here and her hair is crazy in the latter two, but she just looks so defeated in the recent one.
Finally we have this one from 2010 when she was busted for DUI. At the time she was 40, and we were shocked at how drastically different she looked from back in her smokin' days. But compared to now, she almost looks good here, no?
December 2010
Clearly she's had some troubles, and mugshots are rarely kind to anyone (unless you're Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton), but this is a pretty rough assortment of photos for anyone to accumulate. Hopefully she'll get some help and/or clean up her act before we can fill an entire album with them.
Are you shocked at how Lisa Robin Kelly has changed over the years? Any votes for best mugshot?

Lykins and Robitaille were attempting to receive a patent for land that was also claimed by the Lawrence Association, Gaius Jenkins, Charles Robinson, S. J. Livingston, George G. Mathews, and William Savage. The brief contained a short history of the Wyandot tribes removal west and various treaties involving land. The claim involved parts of the city of Lawrence. The brief cited various cases and laws upon which Mr. Weer based his arguments.

Authors: Brindle, William ; Moore, Ely
Date: May 9, 1857
Ely Moore, Register, and William Brindle, Receiver of the Lecompton Land Office wrote to Charles Robinson regarding his ownership of a claim.

Robinson was required to produce counter proof of ownership of the claim at the Lecompton Land Office. A. A. Lawrence, in a letter to Robinson dated April 29, 1857, referred to Robinson's attempt to obtain ownership papers of this "float" claim.

Law Brief, Gaius Jenkins vs. the Robetaille Float, James H. Lane
Authors: Unknown
Date: c. 1858
This law brief was prepared on the behalf of Gaius Jenkins by his attorneys, defending his ownership of land that was also claimed by James Lane. This composition stated that Jenkins settled on his claim during October 1854, while Lane settled next to him in 1855, and that Lane sold Jenkins half of his land shortly thereafter for $800. These points, added to various witness testimonies, show that Jenkins was the rightful owner of the land in dispute. Lane killed Jenkins in June 1858 in an argument over this same matter.

Letter, Chas. Chadwick to Hiram Hill
Authors: Chadwick, Charles
Date: March 25, 1858
Charles Chadwick wrote from Quindaro, Kansas Territory, to Hiram Hill in Massachusetts, regarding various aspects of town development. Chadwick told Hill of some controversy over his ownership of some lands, both "outside" and in town, which were also being claimed by Wyandotte Indians. He described the potential for new businesses to open in Quindaro, including a machine shop and foundry. Chadwick waited for the arrival of new immigrants and hoped the "eastern capitalists" would introduce more money into their economy. He added his comments about the fraudulent ratification of the Lecompton Constitution, suggesting that the Constitution would do the most good "with the. . .box under the woodpile".

Topic Title: Chuck Roast
Created on February 13, 2013 at 06:22 PM
Tried my first attempt at Chuck Roast on the Wrangler this past weekend. Although the taste was ok, it was tuff as leather. This is the method I tried:
1. Filled drain pan with 1/2 water & 1/2 apple juice
2. Grilled roast until internal temp to 110
3. Double wrapped roast in alum. foil
4. Put back on grill with water in pan until internal temp reached 170.
5. Kept roast in pan and let set off of the grill for 1 hour to absorb juick back into meat.
So what do you think went wrong? Should I have cooked it until a higher internal temp? I kept water in the pan to lower the cooking temp and try to keep moisture in the meat but that didn't work.
I have cooked dozens of different things on the Holland and this was my first real fail.
Been using a holland for 15 years avg 3-4 meals a week. We have found that sometimes you just get a bad piece of meat. Dont think your method of cooking was the problem. Dont get discouraged it will be better next time out..

Marion County Collector Mary Ann Viorel reported county real estate and personal property tax bills were mailed earlier in November.
Marion County Collector Mary Ann Viorel reported county real estate and personal property tax bills were mailed earlier in November. Payment in the form of cash or check may be made by mail or in person at the courthouses in Palmyra and Hannibal. After hours payments may be made in the drop boxes at each courthouse.
Viorel explained that Hannibal residents will notice their bills may seem to be substantially more this year than previous years. She said this is because for the first time Marion County is collecting taxes on behalf of the City of Hannibal, which means residents will not be receiving a separate 2012 city bill.
As usual, taxes will be due by Dec. 31, 2012. As of Jan. 1, 2013, unpaid taxes will be considered delinquent and subject to penalties.
She added that there is a security scanner in place at the courthouse in Hannibal, and anyone who enters the building will be subject to security checks. A wallet or checkbook may be carried in but no purses, electronic devices including cell phones or weapons of any kind.
The collector's offices in both courthouses are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays including the noon hour. Both courthouses will be closed for scheduled holidays including Thursday and Friday, Nov. 22 and 23, for Thanksgiving; Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 24 and 25, for Christmas; and Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013, for New Year's Day.
For more information call the offices at (573) 769-3282 or (573) 221-0727.

The D-Fenders will pay tribute to the late Dr. Jerry Buss, former owner of the Lakers and D-Fenders, on Jan. 27 at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario.
Buss passed away from cancer complications last February. The D-Fenders will celebrate what would have been his 81st birthday when hosting the Texas Legends.
"We are excited to showcase D-Fenders basketball to fans in Ontario for a second straight season," said Joey Buss, D-Fenders president and CEO as well as part owner of the Lakers. "Last year's game was a huge success, and we aim to duplicate that success this year. The Lakers have been coming to Citizens Business Bank Arena for several years and it's a special opportunity for us to celebrate with this tribute game."
The D-Fenders, who represent the Lakers in the NBA Development League affiliate, are 7-7 after winning four straight games.
On Monday, 6-foot-5 guard Manny Harris was named NBA Development League performer of the week, after averaging 29.3 points a game over the past three contests.
On Saturday, the D-Fenders overcame a 17-point deficit to overtake the Bakersfield Jam, 107-94. The Jam visited with four players on assignment including Rudy Gobert and Ian Clark of the Utah Jazz, Dwight Buycks of the Toronto Raptors and Jared Cunningham of the Atlanta Hawks.
Like the Lakers, the D-Fenders have a promotion giving away free food if the home team wins while holding their opponent under 100 points. For the Lakers, the giveaway is tacos -- often leading to a, "We want tacos" chant at Staples Center.
The D-Fenders gave out certificates for free pulled pork sandwiches at Britt's Barbecue in El Segundo, near the Lakers' practice facility where the D-Fenders play their home games.
While there was not a, "We want pork" chant Saturday, the crowd got to see a nice comeback. After the game, a number of players stayed to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans.
Earlier in the season, the Lakers sent Ryan Kelly to the D-Fenders for five games, where he averaged 25.2 points along with 7.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
Kelly recently credited his D-League stint for helping him get back into shape after spending most of the summer recovering from foot surgery. He's not a regular part of the Lakers' rotation.
In the D-League, rosters change regularly as players are called up to the NBA.
After two games, the D-Fenders' best inside player, Malcolm Thomas, was signed by the San Antonio Spurs.
The D-Fenders recently picked up Terrence Williams, who was originally drafted in 2011 by the New Jersey Nets (now in Brooklyn) with the 11th overall pick.
"The guys in this league, they adapt," said Coach Bob MacKinnon. "They just want to play."
Jamario Moon played a season with the Clippers, along with stints in Toronto, Miami, Cleveland and Charlotte. Harris spent two seasons with Cleveland.
Given his production with the D-Fenders, Harris could be the next to get a call-up to the NBA.

I didn't notice the option to attach files to the post the first time 'round, but have done so now.
A wav file? What are we supposed to do with a wav file?
The best way to figure out what is being sent is to get one of the sensors, like a temperature sensor and capture what it sends .You will have to pull it apart and sample the data on the data pin of the Transmitter Module.The benefit of looking at the transmitted data is that it gets rid of all the other signals and interferance that confuses what you are seeing.
Is it possible that the device is looking for a response from the base controller first? or that the data is at a rate beyond the capacity of the sound card. For example the data you read might well be a preamble or ID for the base station to identify and or lock on to the remote (dotting) before the data payload and that your method of saving it and analyzing it are missing the data payload?Bob
This is a sample of the data stream of an Oregon Scientific Weather station temp Sensor.Whilst your Weather Station wont be the same , the data format will be similar.The timebase on your audio card is far to slow to see anything sensible, and what you are seeing is the normal outputof an ASK receiver with no input, ie broadband noise converted into random rate data.You need a CRO so you can edge trigger the CRO on the rising edge of the first data byte from your transmitter.

Earl Klugh
Acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh has always had an appealing sound, but so many of his recordings are sleepy affairs that do not raise themselves above the level of background music. This early session definitely falls into that category, and its reissue as a Blue Note CD reminds one of the swift decline of that label in the 1970s. The melodic music that Klugh creates is quite pleasant but little more than that, and the accompaniment by fellow guitarist Lee Ritenour, an anonymous-sounding rhythm section, and occasional horns and strings gives listeners no real reason to wake up. ~ Scott Yanow

Johnson & Johnson reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday, but took another big special charge for its recalled artificial hips and forecast 2013 earnings below Wall Street forecasts.
The health-care giant said it earned $2.6 billion, or 91 cents per share, compared with $218 million, or 8 cents per share, in the year-ago period when the company took charges of more than $3 billion, including $800 million for medical costs related to recalls of defective "metal-on-metal" hip replacement devices made by its DePuy Orthopedics unit.
Analysts had expected the company to report earnings excluding items of $1.17 a share on $17.67 billion in revenue, according to a consensus estimate from Thomson Reuters.
J&J on Tuesday said it took special charges of $800 million in the most recent quarter, primarily related to new charges related to the defective artificial hips.
All-metal hip implants were developed to be more durable than traditional implants but have failed at a high rate and shed metal fragments that have disabled patients. Traditional implants combine a ceramic or metal ball with a plastic socket.
As many as 500,000 Americans are estimated to have been implanted with metal-on-metal hip replacements in the past five years, with J&J the largest manufacturer.
The company withdrew its ASR hip system in 2010, and faces more than 2,000 lawsuits from patients claiming to have been harmed.
Excluding special items, J&J earned $1.19 per share. Analysts, on average, expected $1.17 per share.
Piper Jaffray analyst Matt Miksic said the profit beat came largely from favorable taxes, and that cost containment initiatives boosted results.
He also cited very strong growth in sales of J&J's more traditional artificial hips and of artificial knees, whose combined U.S. sales rose 7 percent despite disruptions from superstorm Sandy in the fourth quarter.
Global company revenue rose 8 percent to $17.56 billion, below Wall Street expectations of $17.7 billion.
Sales of prescription drugs jumped 7 percent in the quarter to $6.52 billion, helped by strong sales of its treatments for arthritis, psoriasis and HIV.
"By any measure, we have transformed our pharmaceuticals business," Chief Executive Alex Gorsky told analysts on a conference call. The business is bouncing back after several years of anemic sales due to generic competition for some of its top medicines.
Quarterly sales of medical devices rose almost 14 percent to $7.38 billion, in part due to the company's recent acquisition of trauma-device maker Synthes.
But J&J's array of consumer products fell almost 3 percent to $14.4 billion, hurt by the stronger dollar and recalls of Tylenol and other over-the-counter medicines that have curtailed availability of the brands.
The company forecast full-year 2013 earnings, excluding special items, of $5.35 to $5.45 per share. Analysts, on average, expected $5.49 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. The company is known for making conservative forecasts at the beginning of the year.
J&J shares traded lower in pre-market trading following the announcement. (Click here to track the company's shares before the opening bell.)

Manhattan Grit Chamber
110th Street at the FDR Drive (on the East River)
40.791205, -73.936530
This building handles sewage from much of Upper Manhattan (about 1/3 of the city's total), removing solid materials from the sewage before the liquid flows to a water treatment plant on Wards Island and, ultimately, into the East River. This facility opened in 1937 along with the Wards Island plant and the city's other grit chamber in the Bronx, which also empties into the Wards Island plant. The "screenings" are collected into 10-cubic-yard garbage containers and driven to Wards Island before ultimately being shipped to landfills out of state.
The NY Times had an excellent article in 2006 (available HERE) with a description of the operation of the facility, including an internal photo and an enumeration of some of the terrifying things that come flowing in from the city's sewers on a daily basis.

Once Upon a Flock: Life with My Soulful Chickens
by Scheuer, Lauren
Deep in my soul, I believe I'm a farmer, but I know I'd much rather read about someone else's adventures in agriculture than actually do the work myself. Lately I've had a fascination with chickens, and judging by the popularity of backyard flocks, I'm not alone. Lauren's Scheuer's new book tells in words, drawings, and photographs, the tale of her small chicken flock from her first notion of a flock through family skepticism, four cute baby chicks, adolescent hens, and the joy and delight she finds in her small flock. Jenny, one of her first baby chicks, undeniably turns out to be a rooster, and gets amusingly relocated during a daughter's farm field trip. Tragedy is averted when Marky the dog learns to live successfully with the flock. Lauren is also the author of a chicken blog, Scratch and Peck, for those who want to continue following the antics of Lucy, Lil' White, and the others.

The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds with Common Birds
by Zickefoose, Julie
Bird lovers will be enamored with this journal-style memoir written by Bird Watchers Digest author Julie Zickefoose. Her love of birds shows through the stories told of birds she and her husband have rescued and rehabilitated over many years. Julie has also added her sketches and watercolors to nearly every page giving the book added personality.
The first story is told of a bluebird that her husband rescues from the clutches of a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Julie examines the bird to make sure he doesn't need any medical attention. Eventually she names the bluebird Mr. Troyer. His wing is a little damaged but not enough to cause a flying issue. Much to Julie's delight he returns every year to mate and live in the bluebird boxes in their yard. Julie tells that over the years she has learned that although a species of bird may have common traits and habits each bird has an individual personality.
This book was a joy to read especially since I am a bird enthusiast myself. This is one I will purchase and read over and over again.

Perfect Peace
by Black, Daniel
First, imagine that you could have anything you wanted in the entire world. Now, think about exactly what you would do to get it. Would you do anything, and I do mean anything to get? Suppose what you really wanted most in the world was a baby. But not just any baby. You want a very special female child who hangs the moon. One that you can dress in ribbons and tutus – and one who plays with dolls and dreams that she is a pretty princess…
Well, you can have that pretty little girl if you want her bad enough. You can have that living doll if you wish for it hard enough. That's exactly what Emma Jean Peace did in the novel Perfect Peace, by Daniel Black.
Emma Jean wanted a baby girl so bad, that after birthing 6 sons in as many years, she finally birthed a seventh child, whom she named Perfect. The twist to this novel is that Perfect , although made to be the perfect girl, isn't a girl at all. In fact, Perfect was actually born a boy. Throughout the novel, Black spins a story of how Emma Jean is able to convince her husband, her children, her town, and even Perfect Peace herself that Perfect is a girl. The novel also tells Perfect's story. It tells of her warm and loving early life, her discovery of her adolescent self and the turbulent truth it brings; finally ending with Perfect's decision to choose her own identity.

Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity
by Boo, Katherine
Behind the Beautiful Forevers is a non-fiction book beautifully written like a novel by Pulitzer-winning newspaper journalist Katherine Boo. She spent three years interviewing and consulting with the poor inhabitants of an under-city slum, "Annawadi", at the edge of Mumbai's new, modern, and opulent airport.
Many of the inhabitants make a living picking up the airport's garbage and garbage floating in a large polluted lake left by the affluent tourists. They are the poorest of the poor of India.
The book details the abject poverty, the absolute political corruption, along with the tireless efforts of the people of Annawadi. Abdul, a Muslim teenager, along with other boys, scavenges for saleable garbage. Some boys die or are murdered. A teenage girl, Meena, eats rat poison rather than become married to a poor villager.
Abdul is falsely charged with causing a one-legged prostitute, Fatima, to set herself on fire. The corruption and brutality of the police, the judicial system, and the politicians is rampant. His sister and father are also charged and finally exonerated at the end of the book. His fate remains undetermined.
Other inhabitants are Asha who uses the corrupt political system to improve her status and that of her daughter who wishes to be Annawadi's first college graduate.
The title of the book comes from a brightly-colored ad for floor tiles across a wall dividing Annawadi from the view of travelers leaving the airport. Behind the Beautiful Forevers gives us a sad, poignant look at what is a way of life for millions of poor. I am both sad and grateful for having read this book and recommend it to anyone who doesn't appreciate what we have in these United States.
This book is also available as a downloadable ebook, a downloadable audiobook, an audiobook on CD and in large print.

Warm Up Your Winter at Our Staff's Favorite Hideaways
Winter in Northern California means cool, bright days and crisp, chilly evenings. It also means always having a great excuse to duck into someplace cozy for a pick-me-up. From fire-lit bars, to brick-oven-warmed bakeries, to restaurants chock-full of cozy ambiance, we asked the staff at our seven Norcal hostels for their favorite local spots to warm up. Read on for their picks, and get ready to settle in for the winter.
HI-SF Downtown and City Center Hostels
Bacchus Kirk
"It's a staff favorite," says HI-SF Downtown Activities Coordinator Ellysa. "The bartenders are really friendly and there is a nice cozy ambiance with brick walls, red lights, and a fireplace."
White Horse
This one's "really, really close to the hostel," says Ellysa. "It's connected to a hotel, so there's a variety of travelers, and locals too. There's a fire place, free snacks and shuffle board!"
Zeki's is cozy bar with a nice fireplace, affordable drinks, and a variety of cocktails. "They're self-proclaimed as 'the friendliest bar in SF,'" says Ellysa, "and, arguably, they're not lying!"
The Hearth
Though the Inner Richmond district, where the Hearth is located, is a bit out of the way if you're based downtown, it's well worth the bus ride out. One of the city's latest "up and coming" neighborhoods, it's full of multi-cultural restaurants, independent shops, and artsy young locals. Not to mention some of the city's best dive bars: "The Hearth is a great Richmond dive," Ellysa says. "A cute fireplace, pool, stiff drinks -- what more do you need?"
Sugar Café
About a five-minute walk from HI-SF Downtown, Sugar Café will warm you up no matter what the time. By day, Sugar's a laid-back coffee shop with a roaring fireplace, free Wi-Fi, and well-rounded brunch and lunch menus. By night, it's a sleek bar serving beer, cocktails, and bar bites like pork-belly sliders and Kobe meatballs.
HI-SF Fisherman's Wharf
Café Franco
Locally roasted espresso, toasted sandwiches and homemade quiche, and now, Northern California beers and wines by the glass – HI-Fisherman's Wharf's on-site café has everything you need to warm up your evening! Meet some new friends around the hostel lounge's central fire place, then pop into Café Franco to make a night of it.
The Buena Vista Café
The Buena Vista Café makes quite the claim to fame: according to legend, it was here, in 1952, that the Irish coffee was invented. Also, says HI-Fisherman's Wharf Activities Coordinator Mellice, "It's pretty cozy, and has a nice view."
HI-Marin Headlands
"Many of the places on this side of the bridge can be quite pricey for any levels of ambiance," HI-Marin Headlands Assistant General Manager Meghan warns, "but there are some ways to get the ambiance on the cheap!"
The Pelican Inn
This old English-style inn near Muir Beach is cozy, warm, and locally beloved. "It's a great place to grab a pint and some pub snacks after a long day of hiking on Mount Tamalpais," Meghan advises. "You'll feel like you walked into a cottage on the shores of Dover!"
Sartaj India Café
Meghan recommends Sartaj's chai tea and veggie samosas. "Grab one and sit on the docks looking out on the beautiful bay in Sausalito. Bring a blanket and a good book and you are set!"
Buckeye Roadhouse
"The Buckeye is more on the pricey side, but they have a beautiful lodge feel, fireplace and full bar," says Meghan. "Head over after dinner for dessert and a night cap, like cinnamon-bourbon hot chocolate!"
Taste of Rome
Meghan loves the café food and the mochas at this Sausalito hub. "They also have live music on the weekends, and it becomes nice and cozy once everyone starts to dance. It's usually an older crowd so you feel like a kid at a holiday party once your aunts and uncles have had too much eggnog!"
HI-Point Reyes
Sir and Star
"It's a bit high-end," HI-Point Reyes General Manager Hanna admits, "but Sir and Star in Olema has a gorgeous fireplace that you can almost walk in." It also has rave reviews in Food & Wine magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, and a number of other publications – so make your reservations in advance!
Station House Café
Hanna also recommends the Station House Café in the town of Point Reyes Station. The bar here serves up hot toddies and hot chocolate during the winter months.
HI-Point Reyes Norm's Market
That's right – you can also opt to stay warm without leaving the hostel! "Bring your own provisions, make your own hot chocolate in one of the hostel kitchens, and enjoy sipping it with a view looking out at the surrounding hillsides and valleys," Hanna suggests.
HI-Pigeon Point
Downtown Local
The tiny town of Pescadero, just minutes from HI-Pigeon Point, has a cozy new café that's drawing coffee worshipers from all over the Bay Area. Downtown Local's been earning high praise for its Sightglass coffee, its vintage décor, and its penchant for screening silent movies on the wall.
Pescadero Country Store and Norm's Market
Nothing warms you up like a snack right out of the oven. At the Pescadero Country Store, don't miss the fresh brick-oven pizza. Over at Norm's Market, there are two ways to try the artichoke-and-garlic bread that draws visitors from all over the world: buy it warm, straight from the oven; or pick up a partially baked loaf, then pop it in the oven back at the hostel and watch the crust brown before your eyes.
HI-Point Montara
Half Moon Bay Brewing Co.
Beers brewed on-site, food sourced in season, and fire pits out back so you can enjoy it all with a side of Bay views. Best of all, the brewery's located in Princeton Harbor, just three miles south of HI-Point Montara.
La Costanera
Grab a discounted drink or dish from the bar menu during happy hour at this upscale Peruvian restaurant. Inside, the ambiance is warm; outside, fire pits overlook the ocean.
Here Comes the Sun
The warmth in this Montara coffee shop, less than a mile north of the hostel off of Highway 1, comes from the people who work there. Here Comes the Sun is run by a "super-friendly mom and daughter," says Brian from HI-Point Montara. "It has good views and is a great local place for coffee, tea, and bakery treats."
Stay at at HI-Point Montara, HI-Pigeon Point, HI-Point Reyes, HI-Marin Headlands, or one of our three San Francisco hostels.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
DEADAIRES - "Constance Demario"
Artist Bio:
DEADAIRES is a band born out of necessity. While all the members have impressive pedigrees, having cut their teeth in celebrated Florida punk acts like Against Me! and True North, Deadaires is an entirely different beast. It all began last year when having left Against Me! after twelve years, Andrew Seward (bass, keyboards, vocals) moved to St. Augustine, Florida, and started working at a music venue with Ryan Murphy (vocals, guitars). The duo casually talked about starting a recording project and recruited drummer and co-worker/visual artist Jeremy Rogers (drums/vocals) to fill things out. Jeremy has been an instrumental part of the St. Augustine punk scene for 15 years and has also played in countless bands. "I had pretty much stopped playing music when the three of us starting playing together for fun, but as soon as this project started it came together in a way where we got that tingly feeling like when you start dating someone," Seward says of the band's unexpected beginnings in 2015. "You start daydreaming, and daydreaming is a good thing when it comes to creating something you love."
Recorded during lunch breaks, weekends, and the occasional vacation day, Deadaires was tracked incrementally over an eight-month period at Seward's house on an eight-channel mixer, a refreshingly far cry from the major-label albums he'd made in the past. "The whole record was a freeing moment in the sense that we work so much that there wasn't time to make a professional record on a budget, so we made something that was more fueled by sporadic intensity," Seward explains. "This was the most unstressed album I've made since I was 16 years old making records in Alabama," he continues. "Everyone agreed on everything or we didn't go forward." That charismatic connection and collective collaboration is evident on songs like,"Constance Demario," a midtempo sing-along that recalls some of the best moments of D.C. post-hardcore, but played through the prism of the Gainesville punk that these musicians helped pioneer. It's heavy without being macho and tender without sounding whiny. It's the sound of adults rediscovering the joy of what being in a band felt like before the complications of adulthood set in.
Lyrically the album focuses on the members' collective personal experiences. It's inherently relatable to anyone trying to come to terms with the present without disavowing his or her past. "We weren't trying to be thematic. It was just us looking back at the past decade of experiences and the fact that we're all the same age and coming from the same type of place," Murphy explains. "There's a melancholy to it but there's also a frantic desperation to these songs because I think that's just where we are in our lives." Once the recording was finished the band took it to close friend and renowned producer J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines) who masterfully mixed Deadaires. "J. was able to take these songs and make you feel like you're actually in the room as we record it live which is pretty amazing considering that it was all recorded separately," Murphy adds. Finally the album was mastered by another longtime friend, Brad Boatright, who recently worked on the soundtrack for the breakout Netflix series Stranger Things.
Speaking of strange things, although all three members imagined that their touring days were behind them once the album was finished, they all agreed that they needed to start performing these songs and recruited Alan Mills as their live guitar player. "We've played three shows, but it feels like we've been playing together for years because on some incestual level, we have been playing together for years," Seward explains. "That's the whole thing. We didn't plan on starting a band but the actual material motivated us to be a band." Whether Deadaires is building quietly climactic post-hardcore anthems like "Exit Polls," or channeling their aggression into controlled chaos on "Poor You, Poor Me," Deadaires is an album that's reassuringly familiar without regurgitating the past. It's the kind of album that references the Afghan Whigs as much as it does Fugazi because it isn't trying to be either of them. Sometimes our most creative moments are the unexpected ones... and this album is teeming with those types of tiny revelations. - Jonah Bayer

Chariots of the Gods- "Tusk"
Artist Bio:
Chariots of the Gods is straight up, balls to the walls, in your face Heavy Metal. With blistering solos, gripping melodies & harmonies, rioting vocals and drums that just won't quit, this is what it's all about.
About The Video: "Tusk" is one of ten shredding assaulting tracks on the release recorded at The Grid with legendary Montreal producer Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy, The Agonist, Beyond Creation, Neuraxis), and featuring a special guest solo from The Agonist's Pascal Jobin on the song "Into Oblivion". Directed / produced by Renaud Jobin.
The band had this to say about the video: "It's been more than 3 years since our first official music video for the song "Tides Of War" was released. A lot has changed since then, sand it's time to reveal our first music video "Tusk" in support of our new record. It was great to have Renaud Jobin, our former vocalist, directing the project and working together again. He has a clear understanding of what the band is about and what we wanted to achieve. We're really happy with the outcome and can't wait to do more videos for Ages Unsung."

Good news: You can upgrade your love template
People seem friendlier. Colors are brighter. Food tastes better. The world is transformed with shimmering newness.
What causes the rush of good feeling we call romantic love?
Scientists have learned that lovers are literally high on drugs. Natural hormones and chemicals flood their bodies with a sense of well-being, as the brain releases neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin as well as endorphins and enkephalins. These produce a rosy outlook, rapid pulse, increased energy and a sense of security and comfort. But researchers can't explain what causes the release of these potent chemicals or what causes them to diminish.
In your lifetime you have met thousands of people. Perhaps 50 to 100 of these matched up to what you were looking for. Logically, you should have fallen in love with scores of people. Yet most people have been deeply attracted to only a few. In fact, when I counsel single people, I hear again and again There just aren't any good men/women out there.
The curious fact is that the few people we are attracted to tend to resemble one another quite closely. Think about the people you have seriously considered or chosen as mates. If you list their predominant personality traits, you will find a lot of similarities.
The subconscious mind plays a big role in whom we choose. From birth to age five, your subconscious mind puts together a powerful composite picture of the people who've influenced you the most. Your brain recorded the way they smiled, the way they moved their body, their talents and interests and moods. Your brain didn't interpret this information; it just etched it onto a template.
To a large degree, whether or not you have been romantically attracted to someone depends on the degree that the person matched the template. If there was little correlation, they became one of the thousands who come and go in your life; there was just no attraction even though they seemed perfect. If there was a close match, you felt a sudden surge of interest.
The good news is that you can upgrade the template in your subconscious mind and program it to attract the partner that you want in your life. The way to start is to make your personal compatibility list. Describe in detail what you want in a partner. Be specific. Remember the qualities that were missing from past relationships and which caused conflicts or problems. Be sure to include—
• Basic information (age, appearance)
• Personal interests (hiking, art, travel)
• Philosophy and moral attitudes
• Education
• Social style (introverted, outgoing, family-oriented, wild)
• Spiritual and religious interests
• Professional and financial goals
• Lifestyle and tastes in entertainment, clothes, healthy living choices (exercise, diet, smoking, drinking, drugs)
Use your list to evaluate a potential partner. Evaluate yourself in the same way, and use your list to become the kind of person that you want to attract in your life. Your subconscious mind then will be magnetized to that special someone because they match the new template.
If you are in a relationship that is working, use your compatibility list to identify problems as well as to remind yourself to appreciate your partner. If you are deciding whether or not to end a relationship, your list can help you understand what is and isn't working. If you are looking for a new relationship, your list can remind you of what you want in a partner and keep you on track as you seek that special person.
Stand back and watch the endorphins flow.

Published May 2001,February 2011.
It is a new geometrical instrument and a toy with 3 basic capabilities:
The disk spins around a steel pin through its centre and has 100 holes arranged along a spiral. Each one is 1 mm further from the centre than the last. The protractor scale around the edge measures its rotation from alignment with one line to alignment with another. Circle Scribe claims that the disk compass is the most significant step in geometrical instrumentation since Thales of Miletus returned to Greece after his studies with the Pyramid builders of Egypt 500 BC.
You can make your own by printing out a spiral onto an overhead transparency. Use Excel or some other spreadsheet to create the spiral. Excel's radar graph plots points increasing from 0.1 to 10.0 with increments of 0.1 and laid out in 10 columns of 10 rows of the spreadsheet. Once you have printed the spiral you can make holes with a drawing pin which will later form the centre pin. The protractor scale can be copied from a large 360 protractor in pen although this is laborious.
The disk compass enables you to accurately and quickly draw many fascinating diagrams and constructions and Circle Scribe has included many in their book Fun Art and Geometry. The by product is a deeper understanding of and confidence in the basic concepts and theorems of Geometry like angle, radius, diameter, curvature, centre, symmetry, etc etc.
One activity which straddles the divide between Maths and Art is the Cardioid: this is a fascinating and very ancient drawing whose name is derived from its appearance as 3 dimensional heart shape. It is based on a ring of 36 dots evenly spaced around a circle at 10 degree intervals. Each circle has its centre on one of the dots and its circumference passes through the top dot. The envelope is also the locus of a point on the circumference of a circle rolling around another of the same radius.
There are several similar diagrams based on the ring of dots and the nephroid shown here is named after its kidney shape. In this diagram a vertical diameter is drawn through the ring of dots. Each circle is again centred on a dot but this time the constraint is that they must touch the diameter. There are many lessons about tangents to be learned from constructing this diagram.
Using the coordinate system it is possible to accurately and quickly construct many fascinating diagrams such as the sine wave, the conic sections (parabola, hyperbola, and ellipse) with reference to their directrix and focus.
Their most recent addition is Sierpinski's triangle - a simple fractal which can be drawn very accurately and very quickly. Visit www.fractalus.com to see some computer generated fractals.

Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man....—Revelation 1:12-13
In our time we have all kinds of status symbols in the Christian church—membership, attendance, pastoral staff, missionary offerings. But there is only one status symbol that should make a Christian congregation genuinely glad. That is to know that our Lord is present, walking in our midst!...
No matter the size of the assembly or its other attributes, our Lord wants it to be known by His presence in the midst. I would rather have His presence in the church than anything else in all the wide world.
Hearing the proud manner in which some speak of the high dollar cost of their sanctuaries must lead people to suppose that spirituality can be purchased. But the secret of true spiritual worship is to discern and know the presence of the living Christ in our midst....
The Christian church dares not settle for anything less than the illumination of the Holy Spirit and the presence of our divine Prophet, Priest and King in our midst. Let us never be led into the mistake that so many are making—sighing and saying, 'Oh, if we only had bigger, wiser men in our pulpits! Oh, if we only had more important men in places of Christian leadership' Jesus Is Victor, 59-60,63.
"Lord, I pray that I might never deviate from that significant thought: 'I would rather have His presence in the church than anything else in all the wide world.' May that be my prayer this morning. Amen."

The Gallery: Jennifer Cecere
Introducing a few bright contestants from Jennifer Cecere's mandala series; ornate thickets of lace, fabric and drawing. And unframed circles of canvas make a nice break from the dominant "rectangular" presentation of art!
Cecere begins with shapes are drawn onto translucent fabric and painted with watercolor washes. These are cut out like paper dolls, and arranged onto lace circles, creating a kaleidoscope of color and form. She finishes the pieces with intricate drawings of extruded acrylic paint, applied with modified pastry tubes like embroidery thread. She uses, "gel-thickened acrylic the way pastry chefs squeeze icing on their cakes..."!

A Spartanburg man reported that a woman he paid to have sex with stole his wallet Thursday evening.
A Spartanburg man reported that a woman he paid to have sex with stole his wallet Thursday evening.
Henry Preister Groce, 75, of 345 Bryant Road, reported the theft late Thursday, according to an incident report.
Groce told deputies that he paid a woman named Jeanna $40 for sexual acts and that afterward he walked out of the room, leaving his wallet in his pants with the woman.
Groce then drove the woman to Fairforest Road, but returned later in the day to bring the woman to his home a second time for sex. After the second encounter, Groce told investigators that he realized his wallet was missing.
Deputies located the woman, but she was "grossly intoxicated and unable to answer any questions," according to the report.
Because there was no positive identification, a judge did not approve warrants in the case, the report said. Groce was advised to cancel his bank and credit cards and monitor his accounts for fraud.

School District Says It Only Turned Spy Cameras On 42 Times; FBI Now Investigating
from the you're-on-school-district-candid-camera dept
Either way, it looks like this is going beyond a civil case of the families suing the school district. The FBI is now investigating the case as well, to see if the district violated either wiretapping or computer-intrusion laws. Now, it's not unheard of to have capabilities like this turned on to find lost or stolen laptops -- so perhaps that is understandable. But the fact that this kid was reprimanded for stuff he did in the privacy of his home while caught on camera definitely seems questionable. No one seems willing to say if this particular laptop was ever reported "lost or stolen," so perhaps the district's argument is that the student had taken the laptop. But if that's the case, you would think they would have come out and said so, rather than the vaguely worded denials put forth already.

I've registered to ride the 100km route for Brissie to the Bay. Initially it was two friends and I were going to do it together, but one has dropped out (due to last minute work call) and the other is still pending (not sure if he will come or not).
I enjoy riding with friends/group, but essentially, I'm the only one left doing the ride (alone).
So I would like to ask, is anyone interested to have me riding/training along with you ? Here's a bit about myself, I'm
- Male, in my mid 20s
- Quite new to riding, though I do ride regularly (6~7 days a week if no rain)
- Did couple of mountain runs, climbing at about 10km/h (Mt. Cootha & Nebo)
- On flats if I push myself I can get to about 30~35km/h
- Comfortable riding (flats) 25~30km/h
Please PM me if I'm welcomed, or otherwise let me know are there any alternatives?

What I'm trying to say is, if I buy all of the parts separately, it comes out to $250. Since I am buying from another re-seller they still need to make a profit out of me (and the manufacturer needs to make a profit out of the re-seller etc.). I assume from this that Pro-Lite must be making a fair bit from each wheel, especially if they can buy the parts in bulk at a lesser price. Compared to other companies I guess pro-lite's profit margin is lower, but their R,D and technology/marketing seem to be too.
