All Geared Kits
We have two types of geared motor kits, eZee and Bafang G01. The eZee system has been one of our most popular high-end packages. The V2 eZee hub motor generates an impressive amount of hill climbing torque for its 4kg size and works great in the 500-1000 watt power range. It is available both front and rear and comes complete with a puncture-resistant Schwalbe Marathon Plus tire as well.
The smaller Bafang motor kits are ideal for those who want a minimal weight 250-500 watt front drive system. At the moment we have these stocked as bare hubs only rather than prelaced into a wheel, but can lace them with Sapim spokes into any size rim.
The geared hubs are light weight, small enough to be laced into 16" wheels, and coast freely when unpowered so that there is no drag on the bicycle. On the downside, they have more internal complexity and components that can fail, can't do regenerative braking, and may generate some audible gear noise while running.

The 2007 version of the Monticello Buckaroo Football team is two weeks away from kickoff. Coach JC Hall, in his third season as head football coach, is looking forward to an awesome season.
The Buckaroos have been flying below everyone's radar this season, as evidenced by the fact they were picked finish next to last in their region this year. Last year ended on a bad note, with a lopsided loss to Enterprise in the first round of the state playoffs.
"To be honest," said Hall, "I was glad it was over, with our troubles and many key injuries."
The Bucks had some great players, with the two hardest to replace being Kedric Curtis - "you can't replace how hard he hit" - and Chad Sonderegger - "huge heart and will to work". The Bucks are stressing discipline and character for 2007.
Consequently, the Bucks are starting this season with high expectations. Coach Hall is installing a new offense for 2007, a split back veer offense, a kind of modified option offense. It is about 50/50 running and passing the ball.
Five offensive players to watch in the new offense:
Junior Connor Frost has been impressive in summer activities. At the recent 7on7 week in Blanding, Frost made many spectacular catches from his wide receiver spot.
Junior quarterback Daniel Torres has stepped up as the leader of the team, according to Hall, and is learning the nuances of the option offense. He is throwing the ball soundly, and making high-quality reads.
Senior Kelvin Curtis will be the halfback. Curtis has the speed to get to the outside for the Buckaroos. However, his compadre, speedy junior Gabe Beh, broke his collar bone in the 7on7s and will miss four to six weeks.
Chase Randall will be the fullback, doing the tough running up the middle and off tackle. The junior returns for his third season of varsity ball, bringing lots of experience.
Junior Ashton Whipple will man the all-important tight end spot in the new veer offense. "We use the tight end a bunch" explains Hall.
Five players to watch on defense:
Senior Kevin Anderson is back "with a vengeance" after missing most of 2006 with a broken ankle. As a sophomore, Anderson started on defensive line, but will man the middle for the 2007 Bucks, middle linebacker.
Daniel Torres might challenge former Buck Antonio Mustache's state interception record. He recorded nine interceptions in the three days of 7-on7.
The entire defensive line is Hall's third, fourth, and fifth players to watch. The Bucks will run many players in and out and will be smallish but very quick. Senior Ryan Bailey, juniors Jesse Barton, Joseph Weatherford, Chris Larsen, and sophomore Tyler Ketron will be the anchors.
Most improved Player:
Coach Hall sited the improved play of senior Corey Eardley, who will be back at his cornerback spot he started in as a first year player last year and at receiver. "He is running the best routes on offense and has the best footwork on defense," praises Hall.
Key to a successful season: "We have so many good skill players," marvels Hall. Indeed, the Bucks are loaded at the receiver spots with Eardley, Frost, Whipple, and senior Travis Tibbs catching the ball, and with Torres, Randall, Curtis, and perhaps Anderson (he could play on the offensive line) lugging the pigskin, the Bucks will be exciting to watch.
"But the key to our season," Hall continues, "will be the play of the offensive line. If they will block and open even the littlest hole, our skill players will make it through."
Anticipation is high in Buckaroo land. They've had a positive, hard working summer that has prepared them for the work to come. Coach Hall particularly appreciates Bronco Coach Lee for inviting them to the 7 on 7 week in Blanding. "We were pleased with the positive experience and glad to find things to work on."
Perspective: One wonders why coaches do what they do. Particularly in Hall's position, who is not a teacher at Monticello High. Hall's son, Steven has helped in the perspective department.
Steven, all of five years old, underwent his third major heart reconstruction surgery this past June. He is doing wonderful after the surgery - "it's a miracle" says Hall.
Steven's experience helped Hall and wife, Kathryn, with another huge reminder of reality. While the coach was sitting with Steven in the hospital, studying his new playbook, what was really important in life was reemphasized decisively. For Hall, "the number one thing is family."
Steven, who is preparing to enter kindergarten, will someday need a heart transplant, but in the meantime is running and jumping with the best of them. Why would someone take time to coach with these kinds of issues to deal with?
"I coach because I love being around the kids. I love the relationships with the coaches. It's fun to build those memories." His two oldest sons, Carter, 7, and Alex, 9, are old enough now to attend most of the football events with dad.
"If I can build better character and better young men; that is more important than winning. Of course, we want to win, but I hope these boys can look me in the eye at the end of the season and say, 'I'm a better man."
Worthy Glover, Jr., not Sr., as I reported, finished second in the C-Flight division of the 2007 Hideout Amateur. "It probably doesn't help that there are three Worthy Glovers running around San Juan County," says Junior, "my father, myself and my own son. We don't make life easy on the people around us."
I apologize for the error.
Big heads
The third Boyle brother, Doug, has tickets in right centerfield in San Francisco on August 11. What are the odds that Barry Bonds hits his record-breaking homerun then?

Water water everywhere but not a drop for hoses
PUBLISHED: 11:02 05 May 2012
THE wettest April since 1998 has seen downpours on almost every day but has made no lasting impact on the South East's ongoing drought.
Amateur meteorologist Richard Barker's Iceni weather station in Royston has recorded 103.6mm of rain this month with it falling almost constantly between April 16-29.
He said: "We have reached the 100mm mark and the average for April is 43.8mm.
"I think it is the wettest April since 1998. That was just over 107mm and that was the year we had the catastrophic floods in Northampton and Nene Valley because all the rain came around Easter.
"It has certainly been a very wet month and without looking at my records it's probably the wettest month of any for some time."
Mr Barker also said he "wouldn't be surprised" to see the rainfall continue in May.
Despite the almost constant rain Veloia water say it "will do little to help replenish ground water supplies" and hosepipes will remain banned in Royston.
The water company which supplies the town takes most of its water from underground chalk aquifers.
The soil has become so dry rain will either run off the surface into rivers, or be absorbed by the soil and not permeate downwards.
Mike Pocock, Water Resources Manager of Veolia Water said: "The critical period for recharging our aquifers is between October and March each year.
"The recent rainfall has been good for the environment and reduces demand for water. Unfortunately this rainfall is unlikely to replenish groundwater levels in our region."
However customers of Cambridge Water who supply parts of South Cambs, including Meldreth, Melbourn and Fowlmere, have not banned hosepipes as its underground supplies have not been affected by the dry conditions.
The firm is however asking customers to be careful with water.

Vintage restoration business turns to school bus
NEW LONDON (AP) -- A circa 1948 Nash school bus that made its way from Minnesota to Vintage Motorcars in Westbrook a few weeks ago is one of only two known to exist.
Rich Willard, owner of the vintage-car restoration business, said he began restoring the rare vehicle last month at the request of a Nash collector from France for whom he has worked previously.
"We're going to bring it back to life," Willard said. "It's going to be labor-intensive. It's a lot of time."
Willard, who has been known to restore antique and classic cars as well as old fire engines, said this is his first bus project. The restoration likely will take more than 3,000 man hours to complete and easily will cost in the $150,000 range, he said.
The most difficult part, he said, is the initial research to try to figure out how the bus looked when it first came off the assembly line. The vehicle, which was not operational when it came into the shop, has gone through a series of alterations through the years, he said, and may have once been used as a "hippie bus."
Making the restoration more problematic, he said, is that no one has pictures of the original look of the bus, including such specifics as handle and upholstery styles.
"The factory that made the body burned down, and they didn't save the records, so this is going to be difficult," Willard said. "We want it to be authentic and original."
The Nash bus, stored outside of Vintage Motorcars when it first came in, has attracted a lot of interest, Willard said. The bus had been parked for only a day or two when one woman, a bus driver herself, came in to get a closer look.
Women rarely come into his business, he said, because vintage cars are more of a guy thing.
"I have cars in here that are half-million-dollar cars that didn't get such interest," Willard said. "I'm assuming it's because we all remember being on a bus (in the past) and we don't see them (now). No one brings a bus to a car show. There's no bus show."
Nash Motors dates back to 1916, when a former General Motors executive named Charles W. Nash started the company in Kenosha, Wis. The company, later purchased by American Motors Corp., became a success thanks to a guiding philosophy of providing good value as well as a series of innovations that included the first compact, subcompact and muscle car.
Even Nash aficionados, who are most prominent in Wisconsin, were largely unaware that the company had manufactured school buses until the first vehicle was saved from a Minnesota salvage business in 1993.
The Nash bus hauled to Connecticut reportedly was found near a farm in Glyndon, Minn., where it had been used for alcohol-fueled hunting and fishing trips before being abandoned, its windows apparently shattered by gunfire. An Ohio member of the Nash Car Club of America discovered the bus in 2010, shortly before it was to be sold as scrap, and did some initial work on it, including a paint job that covered a previously red exterior with the more traditional yellow.
Willard said the collector who is paying to restore the bus, Thomas Harrington of Paris, intends to bring it to Nash shows and perhaps later to donate it to a museum.
But first the tedious work of dealing with rust and dents, repairing the body and chassis, rebuilding the engine and dealing with a multitude of parts, paint and upholstery issues will have to be completed. Willard figures hundreds of phone calls will be necessary to track down all the parts required to do a faithful restoration of the Nash bus and wind up with a vehicle as close as possible to one that came off the assembly line more than six decades ago.
"We capture dreams for people," Willard said. "We want somebody to be able to look at a photo ... (of) when this bus was new and say, 'Geez, that looks identical.'"

Me and my dad allways get into an argument about computers and one of the most common one is power.
I keep telling him that he needs a 400w or more power for a P4 processor but he still uses power supplies that are in the mid 300watt range.
I think it's really important for him to have at least 400 watt but he seams to never be convinced that P4's actually need lots of stability from power supplies.
My dad also got three p4 motherboards that he claims are "damaged" by the power supply, looks like I'll just do some testing on that when I get a chance... But in the mean time I need to find a way to convince my dad to upgrade to higher wattege power supply.

Arencibia homers twice as Blue Jays get first win
TORONTO -- When Alex Anthopoulos put together the Blue Jays this offseason, he envisioned a ballclub that would hit plenty of home runs and cause lots of problems on the basepaths.
Both the speed and power were on full display on Thursday night as the Blue Jays finally showed just how impressive they can be when firing on all cylinders.
Toronto broke out of a mini two-game slump in a big way by unloading for five home runs and stealing a couple of more runs with their feet in a 10-8 victory over the Indians in front of 19,515 fans at Rogers Centre.
"I think everyone has an idea of what this offense is capable of," Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia said. "Two games don't make your season and no one is worried about it here. Everybody knows what we have in this clubhouse. You can't get too high, you come back tomorrow and same attitude, ready to win."
Arencibia led the way with a pair of homers while Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Colby Rasmus also went deep for Toronto. Four of the five home runs came off right-hander Brett Myers, who matched his career high for most homers allowed in one game.
With all off the balls flying out at Rogers Centre, it was almost easy to ignore the speed, which played just as vital of a role. Jose Reyes and Emilio Bonifacio combined to provide a spark that has been missing in recent years on the Blue Jays roster.
Bonifacio turned a routine single into a double when he caught Michael Bourn off guard in center field. He would later come around to score on an error by first baseman Mark Reynolds.
Reyes then stole a much-needed insurance run in the eighth when he scored all the way from second base on an attempted double play. Cleveland got one out at second and was looking for another out at first, but Reyes kept running and when Bautista was ruled safe it enabled another run to score.
"That's just an overall sample of what we can bring to the table when individuals do what they're capable of doing," Bautista said. "We had some guys hit some home runs, some guys ran the bases great, some great defensive plays as well, and we got the clutch hits when we needed them."
Bonifacio, who went 2-for-4, was a star with the bat, but his biggest contribution could be found at second base. He made a pair of diving plays up the middle during the eighth inning which preserved what at the time was a slim one-run lead.
The first play occurred with runners on first and second. Cleveland's Michael Brantley hit a sharp grounder up the middle that appeared destined for the outfield. Bonifacio made a diving stab and was unable to get the force at second, but kept Jason Kipnis from scoring on the play.
During the following at-bat, Bonifacio once again took center stage. He ranged deep up the middle and made a strong throw to first to take a pair of RBIs away from Carlos Santana.
"Santana hit the ball up the middle, I think everybody in the ballpark thought it's up the middle and we're going to take the lead," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "We saw tonight flashes of what they can do, with their speed and their defense."
The overall production on offense helped left-hander Mark Buehrle avoid the loss in his Blue Jays' debut, but it wasn't pretty. The Indians scored one in the first and two more in the fourth on back-to-back homers by Santana and Reynolds.
Buehrle's toughest inning came in the sixth. Buehrle began the frame with a walk and a hit batsman before surrendering doubles to Santana and third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall. Toronto's veteran starter was charged with six runs on seven hits while striking out four in 5 1/3 innings of work.
"I think the biggest thing I'm frustrated about is going out there after we just scored three runs to take a 6-3 lead, go out there and walk the leadoff guy, hit a guy, put yourself in a jam," Buehrle said. "That's unacceptable. I need to do a better job, but I just got behind in counts and guys got base hits and the next thing you know it's a tie game.
"But I thank some of the guys on offense for picking me up and there will be a day when I pick them up when we don't score many runs and hopefully I can hold the opponent down and we can win that game."
With the victory, the Blue Jays avoided being swept in the season-opening series, which hadn't happened since 2004. It also helped the club finish on a positive note in advance of former manager John Farrell's return to Rogers Centre on Friday night with the Red Sox.

It's World Penguin Day today, and a fine excuse to celebrate the majesty and silliness of fine-flippered friends. In that spirit, I thought it would be good to pull together some fun facts about penguins. Some are fun, some are facts, and some are both at once. And don't miss the how you can help bit at the end.
All wild penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere, and although they are synonymous with the ice, only two species live on the continent of Antarctica. The Galapagos penguin is the only penguin that ever naturally ventures into the Northern Hemisphere on especially long feeding trips
The first bird actually called a 'penguin' was the now-extinct Great Auk found in the North Atlantic. Tragically, early explorers and their contemporaries found Great Auks a little too tasty, and the birds were all killed off.
Fossil evidence shows that penguins evolved before the Dinosaurs died out, and there are remains of giant, people-sized, prehistoric penguins.

Despite having brands of books and biscuits named after them, penguins show little interest in literature and are confounded by biscuit wrappers because they lack opposable thumbs.
To move fast through the water, penguins use a technique called 'porpoising'. To move quickly over the ice, they switch to 'tobogganning'. Curiously, porpoises neither use toboggans nor do they use the word 'penguin' as a verb.
Scientists have discovered that emperor penguins, the largest species, use a special bubble-power go-faster technology to increase their speed under water.
Penguins have been immortalised on the big and small screens: singing with Mary Poppins, stealing the Muppet Show's show, protecting the oceans with the Octonauts, and being a criminal mastermind in Wallace & Gromit. However it is the Happy Feet penguins who have the best fictitious claim to fame having used the medium of dance to get the United Nations to protect the entire Southern Ocean*
Penguins at London and Edinburgh Zoos only eat sustainably-sourced fish. They're very picky, and eco-conscious, you know…

Penguin poo can be incredibly useful. Not only is it sometimes visible from space, but projectile pooing can be a handy way of deterring predators, or making a social comment. Penguins who had been the star attractions at Edinburgh Zoo for over a century had their beaks put out of joint when pandas arrived there recently. Some of them resorted to a dirty protest aimed at the queues of panda visitors
*Despite the best efforts of the Happy Feet penguins, the Southern Ocean is not yet protected. That's why we are working with the Antarctic Oceans Alliance, and lobbying governments to come together to protect areas like the Ross Sea, which are vital for many penguins.
You can help us, and the penguins, by joining our call for ocean sanctuaries around Antarctica, and by spreading the word about World Penguin Day.

CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn tried Sunday to revive a push to raise Illinois' minimum wage, a topic he's bound to come back to as he seeks re-election next year.
CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn tried Sunday to revive a push to raise Illinois' minimum wage, a topic he's bound to come back to as he seeks re-election next year.
The Chicago Democrat, who campaigned on the idea in 2010 and mentioned it in his State of the State address in February, told congregants at a Chicago church that raising the minimum wage from $8.25 to $10 is a way to provide fair wages.
"It's a principle as old as the Bible to help those who work hard to not live in poverty," he told congregants at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church on the city's South Side. Currently, a person earning minimum wage and working 40 hours a week makes roughly $16,000 a year.
However, a bill to raise the minimum wage hasn't left committee and opponents have fought it hard.
Republicans and business groups say raising the minimum wage kills jobs. Both the Illinois Retail Merchants Association and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce have come out against proposed minimum wage increases.
Illinois last raised its minimum wage in 2010 under a series of incremental increases. The state has the highest minimum wage among Midwestern states, and pays $1 more than neighboring Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin.
David Vite, president of the merchants association, said that artificially raising the rate will lead to fewer jobs. He said the state already has high taxes that make it an unfriendly climate for businesses and blamed Quinn for trotting out the issue as the campaign is heating up.
"We cannot sustain continuing to do things that make businesses in and around Illinois think poorly of the state," he said.
Quinn told reporters Sunday that raising the wage will improve the economy and disagreed with claims that it would kill jobs.
The governor has been highlighting workers' issues as he ramps up his re-election bid, and accepted his first official endorsement last week from a labor union. On the campaign trail, he has portrayed himself as a fighter for everyday people — a means of differentiating himself from former White House chief of staff Bill Daley, who is, so far, his only Democratic challenger.
Daley also supports raising the minimum wage to $10, according to campaign spokesman Pete Giangreco.
"Families are getting squeezed," he said. "They need help making ends meet."
Four Republicans are also interested in running for governor: Venture capitalist Bruce Rauner, Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford and state Sens. Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady. Candidates can start circling petitions later this week.
During the 2010 gubernatorial campaign, Quinn accused GOP opponent Brady of trying to slash the minimum wage. Brady said he wanted to freeze the state's minimum wage so the federal minimum wage, at $7.25, could catch up.

Beverly Hills Cop is Ratner's dream
Brett Ratner has revealed that making Beverly Hills Cop 4 is a dream come true, because he is a fan of the films.
The Rush Hour filmmaker is set to direct the fourth instalment in the action-comedy crime franchise, which will see Eddie Murphy reprising his role as street-smart Detroit cop Axel Foley.
"For me to be doing another Beverly Hills Cop is like a dream for me. I created the Rush Hour movies because I was so inspired by Beverly Hills Cop," he said.
Brett teased that Beverly Hills Cop 4, which is scheduled for a 2016 release, will satisfy fans, saying: "Everything you didn't learn in the first three, you're going to learn in this one."
The 45-year-old also revealed how action-adventure Hercules, starring Dwayne Johnson as the Greek demigod, proved to be his biggest challenge to date.
"It was hard. It was the biggest challenge. It wasn't the biggest budget but it was the biggest challenge because of the scope," he said. "I never thought I'd have so many extras, so many costumes, so many horses, so many chariots. It was an epic undertaking for sure."
However Brett, who is producing the Horrible Bosses sequel, has no intentions of going down the indie route.
"When I'm older and tired, I'll do smaller-scale movies," he said.
"I'm still young, I still have the energy and the excitement about doing it so I'm going to keep doing it until they stop me. Every experience is like a different experience, it's amazing for me. I love my job."
:: Hercules is in cinemas now.

text: Email received from the Namibia Professional Hunting Association (NAPHA)... Dear Members A Warning To Hunters Connecting From Flights with Delta Airlines (The Hunt Report - posted October 26, 2012) Delta Airlines has announced a "clarification" on their baggage check policies that will likely affect many hunters, especially those flying to Johannesburg and connecting on other airlines to a final destination elsewhere in Africa. The policy goes into effect on January 15, 2013. Basically, Delta will not check through any baggage when the connecting flight is booked on a separate ticket. In other words, if you book a flight to Joburg on Delta on one ticket and a flight on South African Airways to Harare on a separate ticket, Delta will not check your bag through to Harare. But if both flights are booked on a single ticket then Delta will check your bags through. What this means for travelers booking separate tickets is that they will have to claim their bags at their connecting destination and recheck them with the second airline to their final destination. In Joburg, that means you will have to clear Immigration and Customs and go through the firearms importation process before checking in with your second airline. Hunters who must do that will find it necessary to add more time between flights to complete the process in time. (The usual two-and-half hours will not be sufficient, especially at the peak of the safari season when up to 70 hunters may be in line to clear firearms.) The same complication will occur at any other connecting destination, so make sure you are not making such a connection in a country that will not allow you to enter with a firearm in this manner. Note that this is different from the new policies of American and United Airlines, in which they will not transfer firearms to ANY second carrier, no matter how your flights are ticketed (The only exception is on connections from United to South African Airways and only because of intervention from SAA). In the past, Delta has agreed to check through baggage to final destinations even when travel has been booked on separate tickets. But according to a notice distributed to travel agents yesterday, October 25, Delta will no longer do this. The alternative, of course, is to book all your travel on one ticket, but according to Steve Turner of Travel with Guns, that typically means more expensive rates. Also, many frequent flyers often book international travel on separate tickets in order to use their free miles, and those travelers need to be very careful how they book their flights now when traveling with firearms. We are indebted to Turner for giving us the heads up on this situation. Thank you for your support NAPHA TEAM

Good news if you think the state needs to make big new investments in dams and other waterworks: late Monday night, both houses of the legislature voted to remove Prop 18, an $11 billion water bond, from this November's ballot and put it on the ballot in 2012.
Gov. Schwarzenegger and other backers of the bond wanted the change, because of fears that voters would balk at so much borrowing in bad economic times. They were probably right about that.
The delay also should provide an opportunity to try to make the bond a bit smaller. Critics have identified hundreds of millions in items that seem only tangentially related to water.
And there's this history-is-circular alert: if Jerry Brown is the next governor of California, he'll have the tough task of fighting for this bond. One of his biggest defeats during his first term was a referendum of a major water project -- the so-called peripheral canal -- that he supported.

Thinking about my next Unit of Inquiry. This one is all about Machines.
I want to tap into the current craze amongst my Grade 5 students which is Minecraft. I am thinking that I will get the students to create a roller coaster in Minecraft that doesn't use any power rails and the challenge will be to see how many hills the mine cart can travel over with only the using the motion from down the initial inclined plane.
We can measure the height of the slope by counting how many blocks high it is. I would then like to translate this into a real live activity by getting the students to create a marble run in the shared area between the classrooms using a flexible hose and marbles of different weights. We could try to compare the two by making a decision based on a scale that one Minecraft block equals so many centimeters. This is based on the height of our roof which would allow a maximum height of 3.5 M. I'm going to try creating a roller coaster tonight in Minecraft that is 35 blocks high to see how far it gets me.
Given that Minecraft uses a mine cart and the marble run uses a marble we need to scale it down. Perhaps we could compare the height of a mine cart with a marble to get a better break down? I'll leave those decisions for the students.
Here is a great example of what I hope to re-create.
For my second hands-on I would like to start by using Angry Birds online to explore a catapult and then get the students to make their own catapults. We will start by throwing soccer balls of different weights to see how far it will go. This we can then compare to using a catapult.
Here is a You Tube video of what we hope to create.
Actually I am still planning this but I do like to leave certain things open to happen in the moment. I'll certainly post about it when we get started.

Well it is finally done. I say done, but I mean finished. My too kind loving wife always points that out when the bread is baked, it is then done; but a task or work is finished.
I don't get a lot of work finished; but I do like baked bread. So like I said it is done. I finally wrote a book.
It only took me eleven years to write a book, which seems like a long time to some people. But, when I compare this to War and Peace ,which took Tolstoy about 58 years to write, I am feeling pretty darn good about it.
Okay, you might point out the obvious, that my book is no War and Peace; but I would counter that names like Mikhail llarionovich Kutuzov are much harder to read or say than Bubba and Billy-Bob.
Also, it took me almost as much time to read War and Peace as it took Mr. Tolstoy to write it, mostly because I was confused by the nearly 600 characters that frequent his pages.
You can never understand all that Tolstoy was really saying. Whereas my book can easily be read and understood in the privacy of your own bathroom.
There are really five major themes in War and Peace. Tolstoy showed us that "love and compassion are the keys to a successful and fulfilling life". I show the reader how I love burritos and Pepsi and nothing is better than pastry full of filling.
He talks about how "human beings are defined by what they do" I show you how if you can get your kids or wife to do it for you; it should count.
Tolstoy blathers on about how "acquisitions of material possessions do not lead to success or happiness". I show you how a big screen TV and a big overstuffed chair can make you happy.
I could go on, but let's just accept for the sake of argument that my book is worthy of a spot on your bookshelf or at least the top of the tank on the toilet.
Writing this book was truly an experience I won't forget.
Mark Twain wrote, "The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is that you really want to say."
About the time I had reviewed this book for the hundredth time and was satisfied, I received the final copy and wouldn't you know it, I found a mistake; I cursed, threw the book down, and refused to look at it again.
So there you have it; any more corrections will be for the reader to make…and I thank you ahead of time.
I am not much of a business man, but since I am from Utah I thought I should use a traditional Ponzi scheme.
Unlike a normal Ponzi scheme; the idea here is that you will actually get something for your money. So all you have to do is get someone else to buy the book or better yet you buy them the book and tell them how funny it is and it is a "must read".
Then if they do the same, pretty soon I will sell enough books that I can afford my hobby, which is sitting in my big overstuffed chair thinking about something to write. This is a real win-win for everyone.
This will also help get me out of chores around the house, as I will honestly be able to tell my too kind and loving wife that I am working.
Often, she mistakenly takes my sitting in my big overstuffed chair drinking Pepsi and eating chips as merely sitting in my big overstuffed chair drinking Pepsi and eating chips.
The thing about marketing is that you have to be clever, subtle and make people think it was their idea; which is difficult when I am neither clever nor subtle.
So I asked if I could send out flyers in the ward newsletter, which seemed like a great idea as it would help offset costs of publishing the monthly message from the Bishop.
I thought it was bold and innovative; my too kind and loving wife thought I was losing my mind. So I decided on the next best thing, which is to wait until a Sunday morning and go put flyers in the all the windshields of good church going members, but someone said that might be trespassing. Really?. You know people, you have to work with me here.
I decided to call in some favors of people in high places; but much like the Garth Brooks song, "I got friends in low places" but none in high places, so getting on the talk-show circuit did not seem likely. I was really stumped.
I did think that I could tell people to read the book to see if what I wrote about them was true, since I did not change the names to protect the innocent.
In fact some of what I wrote, well maybe even most of what I wrote, is salacious lies about politicians; but what can you say about them that wouldn't be true?
I then decided to appeal to your holiday spirit. After all, it really is a cheap gift and if you like the person and they laugh and enjoy it then they will think you are a swell person and if you don't like them perhaps it will keep them occupied and out of your hair for a few hours and that seems like a win-win situation also.
So there you go, come down or call the San Juan Record and buy my book. It will certainly be a one of kind gift; I mean how long can you write about nothing before someone notices.
As always, I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sherburne, New York
Imagine driving down the highway, faced with flashing emergency
vehicle lights and slowing traffic. Immediately, you begin
to develop a hunch about what is happening around you. The
lights from the police cars and ambulances are clues of an
accident scene ahead. Your prior experiences help you understand
why the traffic is slowing down, as motorists take time to
survey the accident. Emergency vehicles bustle towards the
wreckage. You might recall a car accident that you experienced
in the past. You are sizing up the situation. You are predicting
how long it will take you to reach your destination, based
on the pace of the traffic. You consider alternate routes
for travel.
This process of creating an understanding is not so different
from what effective readers do when they interact with literature.
Dr. Judith Langer spent over a decade examining how readers
interact with texts, how they make meaning out of what they
read, and the processes effective readers go through to create
complex, rich understandings of literature. Her carefully
researched observations are described in a process she refers
to as building envisionments. In building envisionments, readers
formulate a dynamic set of thoughts about a text, including
their impressions, questions, judgments, predictions, and
connections to their own lives. This recursive process occurs
from the moment readers pick up a text and continues beyond
the reading of the literature. Readers continue to think about
the text. They discuss the literature, wrestle with it, and
continually grow their interpretations of it.
first workshop program in a series of nine introduces the
hallmarks of the envisionment-building process. Dr. Langer
explains ways that teachers can support and encourage this
process to help students become better readers and thinkers.
Eight middle school language arts classroom teachers also
reflect upon their own teaching of literature. These classroom
teachers grapple with the authentic, everyday challenges of
middle school language arts instruction. They examine demands
in education, needs of their students, and their beliefs in
the power of literature to shape critically literate members
of society.

A woman who snatched a newborn baby from a New York City hospital more than two decades ago and raised her as her own was sentenced Monday to 12 years in prison.
A Manhattan federal court judge sentenced Ann Pettway, 51, to 144 months -- less than the life sentence she could have faced, and less than the 23 years the mother of the kidnapped girl requested.
"I'm not really satisfied with the sentencing," said Carl Tyson, father of Carlina White, who Pettway scooped up from Harlem Hospital in 1987. "I wasn't able to take my daughter to school... Ann put a scar on me. I didn't have a chance to raise my daughter."
Pettway pleaded guilty to a kidnapping charge in February.
"I would like to apologize," Pettway said Monday. "They may not accept my apology and reject it... but I am deeply sorry... I am here today to right my wrong and ask for forgiveness."
Pettway offered details of the 1987 kidnapping in her February court appearance. She said she took a train from her Connecticut home to Harlem Hospital, where she took Carlina, who had been brought to the emergency room by her parents.
As part of Pettway's plea bargain, prosecutors recommended between 10 and 12½ years in prison.
Carlina's birth mother, Joy White, wept during Pettway's February hearing. "I've lost 23 years of being with my daughter," she said, adding that those decades were filled with pain and heartache.
During the proceeding, Pettway told the court: "I went to the hospital. I took a child. It was wrong."
But she offered no explanation for her action.
White said she encountered Pettway at the hospital on the day her daughter disappeared, dressed like a nurse. "She came up to me and said to me, 'Don't cry. Your daughter is going to be OK.'"
The case was solved by Carlina herself.
As she grew up in Connecticut under another name, the girl became increasingly suspicious of her own identity. Pettway told her she had been given away by a drug addict.
Carlina White said she browsed the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for clues to her identity. After matching a photo of herself with one on the site, she tracked down her true mother and they reunited in January of 2011. A DNA test confirmed they were mother and child.
Today, they speak every day, Joy White said.
"I love my daughter. She's a beautiful girl," she said, adding that she had kept a picture of her missing baby at her bedside for 23 years.

You say there is no winning in San Diego. I say that you're not looking.
You are scouring the city for a champion. I can show you a dynasty.
The UCSD fencing team again dominated the IFCSC Individual Championships on Sunday, and the men are now ranked 15th the nation. Brace yourself, ladies and gentlemen -- that's two spots higher than MIT.
In the southwest portion of the United States, you will not find swordsmen more skilled than the Tritons. And aside from Stanford and sometimes Air Force, you won't find any better west of the Mississippi.
They are bosses of the blade who will never be bullied in class. Mainly because most of them are bio majors.
Fencing may never draw crowds that soar into the triple digits. As UCSD coach Heidi Runyan said in response to attendance estimates, "we don't really focus on the spectators."
But that doesn't mean these weapon wielders should go unappreciated – because typically conjoined with their gifted minds and nimble bodies are adventurous spirits.
Tritons sophomore Adam Campbell-Kruger got involved in the sport because of the film "The Princess Bride." He was a middle-schooler watching Inigo Montoya's sword-fighting duels and decided "I want to do that."
UCSD senior Joseph Schenkel was of similar age when his mother told him he was getting too fat and had to find an activity. He chose fencing, and was left with just one disappointment.
"It wasn't at all how I thought a sword fight was going to be. I was expecting clanging and Star Wars-type flips and stuff like that," Schenkel said. "But there's an elegance to it that grew on me. It's like physical chess."
And if it's a chessboard they compete on, the Tritons were Sunday's kings and queens. Dueling against UCLA, USC, Arizona State, UC Irvine, and Caltech, UCSD took the top three spots in men's and women's foil, men's and women's sabre, and men's and women's epee.
The objective of the sport is to accumulate points by "touching" opponents with one's weapon. Where they can strike depends on their sword of choice. And while this "gentlemen's sport" produces dignified behavior 99 percent of the time, don't think that emotions will always stay fettered.
Schenkel has witnessed coaches engage in fistfights in the middle of a competition, or extend a certain digit a referee's way. He has also seen a parent try to distract a fencer by standing in his line of vision and waving his hands throughout the duel.
"It's like he was trying to get him to miss a free throw," Schenkel said.
But that's the raindrop of negative falling into the ocean of positive.
First, there's the education.
Campbell-Kruger, who hails from Colorado, said that when he saw the Air Force fencing team hop off a bus when he was an 11-year-old, he realized the sport could be his ticket to a prestigious academic university. It was.
Then, there's the application.
Coach Runyan's husband, Josh, an assistant coach who's in charge of recruiting when he's not serving as an airline pilot, estimates that the team works out for about two hours and 45 minutes each practice – conditioning their bodies while also refining their technique.
And lastly, there's the association.
About every quarter, the UCSD fencing team heads out to the woods and collectively learns the Haka dance, a war cry popularized by the All Blacks – New Zealand's famed rugby team.
Additionally, before each competition, the Tritons stand in a circle with arms around each other, and start chanting "Ah! Ah!" before a team member shouts "we are Tritons!"
"I think it puts fear in our opponent's hearts," said junior Munira Gesner, a member of the women's team ranked 17th in the nation. "Well, at least I hope it does."
Gesner, an environmental systems major, revealed this after stepping outside the library to talk. No question, the opponents are terrified.

I came across this question in a calculus book.
Is it possible to prove that an ordered field must be infinite? Also - does this mean that there is only one such field?
Recall that in an ordered field we have:
Suppose that $F$ is an ordered field of characteristic $p$, then we have in $F$ that $$\underbrace{1+\ldots+1}_{p\text{ times}} = 0$$
Therefore: $$0<1<1+1<\ldots<\underbrace{1+\ldots+1}_{p\text{ times}} = 0$$
Contradiction! Therefore the characteristic of $F$ is $0$ and therefore it is infinite, since it contains a copy of $\mathbb Q$.
Few fun facts on the characteristic of a field:
Definition: The characteristic of a field $F$ is the least number $n$ such that $\underbrace{1+\ldots+1}_{n\text{ times}}=0$ if it exists, and $0$ otherwise.
An ordered field must be infinite. Notice that each field has a subset of numbers that behave like the natural numbers, with $0<1<1+1<1+1+1\dots$
However, not every ordered field is isomorphic to all other ordered fields. Notice that both the rational numbers and real numbers are ordered fields.
Hint $\ $ Linearly ordered groups are torsion-free: $\rm\: 0\ne n\in \mathbb N,$ $\rm\:g>0 \:\Rightarrow\: n\cdot g = g +\cdots + g > 0,\:$ since positives are closed under addition. Conversely, a torsion-free commutative group can be linearly ordered (Levi 1942).

World champion Kim Yu-na set a world's best in dominating the competition in the ladies' short program, but Canadian Joannie Rochette stole the show for her courage, skating to third place just two days after her mother's death from a heart attack.
Kim earned 78.50 points on Tuesday night with her electric "bond girl" performance, which gives her a 4.72 edge over Japan's Mao Asada going into Thursday's free skate. Kim carries the weight of trying to become the first South Korean Olympic medalist in ice-skating.
Rochette's experience was altogether different, having to take to the ice while still processing her mother Therese's sudden death Sunday in Vancouver.
U.S. & World
Rochette fought back tears as she prepped for her routine then rocked a triple Lutz-double toeloop combination, then a triple flip. She finished in third place with a score of 71.36, 2.52 points behind Asada.
After the heroic performance she finally burst into tears and let herself be comforted on her longtime coach's shoulder.
"The way she skated tonight -- I applaud her," said American skater Rachael Flatt, 17, who came in fifth behind Japan's Miki Ando. Another American, Mirai Nagasu, 16, fought off a bloody nose that started while she was on the ice to move into sixth place.
The highly anticipated and dramatic figure skating event capped a day when Team U.S.A picked up its 26th medal, a silver, in the Nordic combined team relay, losing by 5.2 seconds to Austria.
The U.S. has never won a Nordic combined medal at any Games -- until Vancouver.
The event saw contenders take one competition jump from the large hill and then compete in a 4x5-km cross-country relay. Team member Johnny Spillane won silver in the individual normal hill event on Feb. 14.
But the Americans suffered other setbacks on the slopes.
Bode Miller, who famously washed out at the 2006 games in Turin, but has medaled three times in the current games, wiped out in his first run of the giant slalom. Teammate Ted Ligety, a favorite in the Olympic event, also fell short, landing at a disappointing ninth.
Team U.S.A was shut out of the event, as Swiss skier Carlo Janka took gold and two Norwegians, Kjetil Jansrud and Aksel Lund Svindal, respectively won silver and bronze.
Other medal events Tuesday included men's 10,000-meter speedskating, which saw the stunning disqualification of favorite Sven Kramer and a brilliant gold-medal winning performance by South Korea's Lee Seung-Hoon.
Kramer mistakenly switched to the inside while coming off of a turn on the track, a move that meant the Dutch favorite skated the last eight laps of his race -- otherwise seemingly flawless -- in the wrong lane.
The first round of the men's ice hockey playoffs also finished Tuesday, as Switzerland and Canada both advanced to the quarterfinal round, as Canada demolished opponent Germany 8-2 and the Swiss defeated Belarus in a 3-2 shootout win.
Switzerland now faces the U.S. team in today's quarterfinals, while Canada will take on Russia.
After 12 days of competition, the Americans have a 3-medal edge over Germany in the standings, though both nations are tied at seven golds and nine silvers apiece.

Obama remaking federal judiciary
President Obama has scored his third major judicial confirmation in five weeks, maintaining his effort to remake the federal judiciary.
The Senate on Monday confirmed Robert Wilkins to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which has added three Obama-appointed members since Senate Democrats changed filibuster rules late last year.
They're also additions to a nationwide federal judiciary to which Obama has appointed record numbers of women, African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and gays and lesbians.
"The Senate has confirmed 93 women to the bench during Obama's tenure, compared with 71 during (President) George W. Bush's full two terms. (President) Bill Clinton got the first and only openly gay judge confirmed before 2009. Obama's gotten seven confirmed so far. ...
"Obama has nominated 287 people for the bench and 219 have been confirmed. Of that, he's nominated 122 women and had 93 confirmed, nominated 55 African-Americans and had 41 confirmed, nominated 30 Latinos and had 27 confirmed, nominated 21 Asians and had 16 confirmed, nominated 10 LGBT candidates and had seven confirmed. ..
"The difference from past presidents is stark: Of Obama's nominations, 43 percent have been women, compared with 22 percent for Bush and 29 percent for Clinton.
"The higher numbers hold for other demographics too: 18 percent of Obama's confirmed judges have been African-American, compared with 8 percent for Bush and 16 percent for Clinton; 13 percent have been Latino, compared with 9 percent for Bush and 7 percent for Clinton; 7 percent have been Asian-American and Pacific Islander, compared with 1 percent each for Bush and Clinton."
Here is Obama's statement in full on the Wilkins confirmation:
"I am pleased that the Senate has confirmed Judge Robert Wilkins to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Judge Wilkins spent a decade as a public defender, providing legal representation to individuals who could not afford an attorney, as well as eight years in private practice.
"His accomplishments outside the courtroom include helping to establish the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. In 2010, I nominated Judge Wilkins to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and since being confirmed without opposition by the Senate to that position, he has applied the law with the utmost impartiality and integrity.
"I am confident that he will continue to do so on the D.C. Circuit. Judge Wilkins is the fourth of my nominees to be confirmed to this important court, which now has a full bench to render justice fairly and swiftly."

Everybody knows (or almost everybody knows) that Prime numbers are very important in crypting/decrypting algorithms. We will see why in the next tutorial when we will talk about transmitting, the secure way, a Key over the net.
Before doing that, we need a way to generate Prime numbers and more precisely to get a prime number > a certain number.
I apologize to DIC who already wrote a tutorial about the subject. Here is my version of it, very efficient. It uses the sieve of Eratosthene algorithm which use a BitField. Calculations of Prime is done on demand an only when required.
It has 2 methods:
- isPrime(n) which returns TRUE is the number passed as parameter is a Prime number
- getPrimeGreaterOrEqual(n) which returns the first prime number >= n
The class does not pre-calculate prime numbers, it just register in a BitSet is a number is a Prime or not (starting with 3) and expands this BitSet on demand if the calls to isPrime() or getPrimeGreatedOrEqual(n) request a bigger number
Here is Prime.java... it will be required by the followin tutorials on Secret Code
import java.util.BitSet; /* * Encryption/Decrytion requires prime numbers * This class facilates the use of them using the sieve of Eratosthene */ public class Prime { // A BitSet to hold the primes usually when a BitSet is used to generate // Prime numbers using the Sieve of Eratosthene // 1) the BitSet is initialize to TRUE (true meaning that the number IS Prime) // 2) then non Prime numbers are set to FALSE // 3) in the BitSet bit 0 says if 0 is prime or not, bit 1 says if 1 is prime or not, // bit 2 says if 2 is prime or not, ...bit N syas if N is prime or not // This way of working have multiple disavantages // 1) when the BitSet is created and later expanded we have to set to TRUE the bits // in the extension as possible Prime. This is a waste of time. // 2) So here we will inversed the standard way of working // bit set to FALSE means that the corresponding number is Prime // bit set to TRUE means that the corresponding number is NOT Prime // so extending the BitSet will autmatically assumed that the numbers in the extension are Prime // 3) no need to waste memory for even number so // bit 0 is for 1 bit 1 for 3 bit 2 for 5 ... bit N/2 for N // make it static all instances of this class will share the same BitSet and max private static BitSet bitSet = new BitSet(1000); // int to a reasonable size // the largest number stored up to which Primes are identified private static int max = 3; /* * return if a number is prime */ public boolean isPrime(int n) { // if even or 1 surely not a prime if(n == 2) return true; if(n < 3 || n % 2 == 0) return false; // if we have already determine up to that prime if(n <= max) return !bitSet.get(n / 2); // ok we have to extend our bitSet up to that Prime for(int i = 3; i <= n; i += 2) { // if the first multiple of that number is > n we are done if(i * 2 > n) break; // if the already stored number is prime we will have to set all its // multiples to non prime if(!bitSet.get(i / 2)) { // found the last multiple set (recorded in our BitSet) for that prime // so we won't reset them twice for nothing int multiple = max / i; multiple *= i; // at the beginning this will be true if(multiple <= i) multiple = i * 2; // so fetch the first multiple of the prime // set as non prime all the multiples of that prime clearMultiple(i, multiple, n); } } // reset new max (the largest number tested) max = n; // ok return if rime or not depending if the bit is set return !bitSet.get(n / 2); } /* * Returns the first prime greater than the number pass as parameter */ int getPrimeGreaterOrEqual(int n) { // make sure we start with an odd number if(n % 2 == 0) ++n; // loop until we found one while(true) { // if the number is registered as prime return it if(isPrime(n)) return n; // else check next one n += 2; } } /* * Method to set a number not prime */ private void setNotPrime(int n) { // ignore the set for even numbers if it was not the case 6 (multiple of 3) // would set bit 6 / 2 = 3 in the BitSet to non prime and 3 is actually the bit for the number 7 if(n % 2 == 0) return; bitSet.set(n / 2, true); } /* * Will set as non prime all the multiple of this prime up to max * we specify as parameter the multiple to start with so when the BitSet is * expanded we are not redoing the job already done */ private void clearMultiple(int prime, int multiple, int max) { // set as non prime all the multiples of the number until we exceed the max while(multiple <= max) { setNotPrime(multiple); multiple += prime; } } /* * to test the class */ public static void main(String[] args) { // build a Prime object Prime prime = new Prime(); // test if the class returns the good first prime numbers from 3 to 101 // in reverse order to avoid multiple BitSet resizing for(int i = 101; i >= 3; i -= 2) { if(prime.isPrime(i)) System.out.println("Is " + i + " is prime: "); } // do some test with larger ones for(int i = 500; i < 2000; i += 50) System.out.println("The first prime number >= " + i + " is " + prime.getPrimeGreaterOrEqual(i)); } }
This code can be showed as example for any thread talking about Prime number
Stay tune the next tutorial about key transmission using Prime numbers is coming
Happy coding
EDITED: use a staic max and BitSet so all instances will share them

Other info: Former Chicago Fire PDL striker Vedad Ibisevic got his professional start with PSG in 2004.
This Season:
One of the biggest clubs in French football, PSG hasn't always lived up to its billing. With two matches remaining this season, Les Rouge-et-Bleu currently sit 11th in Ligue 1 and could possibly climb all the way to eighth before the end of the season if all results go their way the next two weeks.
Though they haven't won a league championship since 1994, PSG have found success in French Cup competitions, most recently winning the Coupe de France last Saturday with a 1-0 victory over AS Monaco. The win marks PSG's eighth French Cup championship, trailing only bitter rivals Olympique Marseille who have taken the Cup 10 times in their history.
Perhaps their proudest moment came in 1996 when they took their first and only European trophy, defeating Rapid Vienna 1-0 in the now defunct European Cup Winners Cup.
Red Star Belgrade
Founded: March 4,
1945 by the Serbian United Antifascist Youth League

- European Cup/ Champions League: 1; 1991
Other info: Red Star's rivalry with Partizan is considered one of the most intense in world soccer. The two clubs have won a combined 46 league titles and 34 cup championships between them, with Red Star holding the record among Serbian clubs with 25 and 23 championships respectively. Red Star are considered the most popular club in Serbian football with an estimated 50% of the country considered supporters of Crvena Zvevda.
This Season:
Though they've won more league championships than any other club in Serbian history, Red Star have failed to take the Superliga title since 2007, finishing 2nd and 3rd while Partizan won the title the last two seasons.
With three matches remaining in the 2009-10 Serbian Superliga, Red Star trails Partizan by one point. The title could be decided when the bitter rivals clash on Saturday, with the winner getting the leg up on the championship.
Red Star will be bolstered by this Wednesday's Serbian Cup championship which they won by downing Vojvodina 3-0. The title is the club's first in team honor in three seasons.
Legia Warsaw

Manager: Stefan Białas (POL)
Top Players: defender Inaki Astiz (ESP), striker Bartlomiej Grzelak (POL), striker Marcin Mieciel (POL), Maciej Iwanski (POL), goalkeeper Jan Mucha (SLO)
Biggest Rival: Polonia Warsaw
- League Championships: 8; 1955, '56, '69, '70, '94, '95, '02, '06
- Cup Championships: 13; 1955, '56, '64, '66, '73, '80, '81, '89, '90, '94, '95, '97, '08
- League Cup: 1; 2002
- Super Cup: 4; 1989, '94, '97, '08
Other info: Formed after World War I as the Polish Army' club and originally was made up almost entirely of soldiers from the Polish legion.
This Season:
Though not mathematically out of the hunt for a league championship, with three matches remaining fourth-place Legia will look to focus on qualification for the Europa League. Their hopes took a blow last Saturday when they were leap-frogged in the standings following their 1-0 loss to Ruch Chorzow. While the result put Legia two points behind Ruch and things won't get easier this weekend when they take on Polish table-toppers Wisla Krakow. Three points for Wojskowi would go a long way to bringing the club back into Europa League contention as well as tightening the race for the Polish championship.
