I chose to use Toyota pickup (minitruck) parts to swap onto the front axle to replace the original drum brakes.'81 through '85 Minitruck Parts list (Basically everything from the knuckle out):Steering knuckle housingSpindleWheel hub/bearingsSteering armsBrake backing plateKingpin bearingsKnuckle seal kitInner axle sealBirfield jointLocking hubNuts, Bolts, Washers, Cone washers, wheel studsCalipers and pads from a V6 minitruck(optional) Master cylinder from V6(optional) Brake booster Other parts:'76-'81 Land Cruiser vented rotorsFlexible brake linesBushings for steering armsProportioning Valve Special tools needed:Angle grinderToyota SST for setting knuckle preloadTorque wrenchBrake line flare tool (for installing proportioning valve Procedure:Drain the oil in the front axle, jack the truck up, put the axle on jack stands, and remove the wheels.Remove the old parts. Cut the brake line and remove the tie rod and then remove the face of the locking hub (or drive plate) and remove the snap ring on the axle shaft.The easiest way to get everything apart is to loosen the nuts on the steering arm and bottom plates which should allow you to pull the entire old knuckle/brake/wheel hub assembly as one piece.Next, clean up the end of the housing using shop towels and brake cleaner and remove the inner axle seal (rides around the axle shaft at the end of the housing). You may also want to take a wire wheel to the outside of the "ball" to remove any rust.Next, because we are using birfields from a minitruck, we must grind on the housing to get the larger/stronger birfield to fit. You will need to grind a little off of the top and bottom directly to the outside of the kingpin hole. Test fit the birfield periodically to check your progress. Keep in mind that you need to go about 0.040" over to compensate for how much the ball compresses when the knuckle is torqued down. Drive out the top and bottom kingpin bearing races with a brass punch. Install the new races.Calculate knuckle shim thickness and set bearing preload using Toyota SST.Install knuckle and torque to spec. Check knuckle bearing preload with fish scale. Install wiper seals on back of knuckle. Install inner axle sealInstall spindle, hub/rotor assembly.Install locking hub and caliper.I chose to do away with the backing plate for the rotor along with the little brake line bracket with the short section of hard line. To remove the backing plate you must keep the inside portion of it to keep the spacing of the components correct.I used Napa #38878 for my flexible brake lines. I probably wouldn't do it the same way again. I would keep the short piece of hard line from the caliper and the bracket on the backing plate so that the brake line is actually "locked" from turning in the caliper. My brake line setup is commonly used without problems, but it seems a little hoaky because of this.
Install the proportioning valve on the line that goes to the rear brakes. You will need to get the fittings and flare the tubing to install it. I chose to install it right next to / under the booster. I bought a short section of already flared tubing with fittings at AutoZone so that I would only have to flare one end.Wheel selection is important with the V6 calipers. You will need a wheel that has nothing protruding out the back (such as an aluminum wheel, or a wagon wheel without a lip stamped out the back). Optional: V6 master and minitruck booster
I chose to use a booster that I had laying around. It is from an '89 4 cylinder 4runner. The master cylinder is from a '95 4runner with a V6. Everything bolted right up and took only minor adjustment to get correct. The brake lines even ended up in the right place on the MC without bending the lines!

|New Balance 790
|Trail Running Shoes - Neutral Trail Shoes
Merchant Description:
An ultra lightweight trail racing shoe built low to the ground to maximize responsiveness. 8 ounces This web exclusive item ships separately via Standard Ground Shipping to physical street addresses within the continental U.S. only. You can count on this item to ship in 3-5 business days!

Review: 4.0 out of 5 stars; Editor's Review
The New Balance 790 Trail Shoe is an extremely light trail racing shoe. This light weight, flexible, trail shoe has a thin sole that allows the runner's foot to stay low to the ground and stable while still providing traction and protection in most conditions. Trail runners and racers will find this shoe to be responsive, firm, and fast.
But, the 790 is not suitable for all trail conditions or for all runners. Unfortunately, the tread is not great at channeling mud. Well, that was a mild statement. It is horrible at channeling mud. This is a basic design error that could have been corrected without any performance loss.
The NB 790 is also not great at protecting the foot from sharp rocks. Unlike the poor mud channeling, the lack of protection from trail debris is to be expected in such a light trail shoe. If you want better protection, look for a more substantial shoe.
You should also not expect a whole lot of life out of these shoes. If you are running on fairly soft, smooth trails, you might get 500 miles out of them. If you spend much time on rock or pavement, you might be lucky to get 200 miles before you loose substantial traction.
Choose the New Balance 790 if you are looking for an extremely light trail racing shoe, don't expect to run much in the mud, and like to feel the trail. Stay away from them if you are looking for motion control, protection from rocks, or like to play in the mud. These shoes run a little on the narrow side.
Review: 4.0 out of 5 stars; Review Title: Great in hard packed snow; Reviewer Name: Steve
Avg Weekly Miles: 8; Avg Training Pace: 8.5 min/mile; Years Running: 7 years
Pronation: Neutral; Shoe Weight Pref: Light-weight Trainers; Shoe Toebox Pref: Wide; Weight: 149; Gender: Male
I've been using the 790s on days when the snow on the road is cold and hard packed. They are great for this. There is just enough grip to keep you from slipping around, but the shoes are still light and fast. They are worthless on ice, however.
Review: 4.5 out of 5 stars; Review Title: Great shoe; Reviewer Name: ctxcrossx
Avg Weekly Miles: 50; Avg Training Pace: 7.5 min/mile; Years Running: 15 years
Pronation: Neutral; Shoe Weight Pref: Light-weight Trainers; Shoe Toebox Pref: Wide; Weight: 150; Gender: Male
I have only used this in one race so far, but it is an excellent trail running racing shoe. The shoe is about 8 oz, so should only be used for race situations. The traction is excellent as is the fit. They don't have wide sizes, but the toebox is roomy enough for my EE feet. They have focused on many of the details in this racing shoe, such as a protective layer against rocks in the foot bed as well as an attached tongue so debris doesn't get into the shoe as easily.

i love a good motorcycle ride. they always remind me of my sweet grandpa and the rides he would take me on as a kid.
but since this is for valentines day, i dedicate it to my wild thing {my sweetie} sam instead!

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
What might spring be like in your neck of the woods—hot and humid? Cool and clammy? Marshy and buzzing with the noise of millions of gross bugs?
While nobody can say for sure about the latter, NOAA has made predictions about temperature, precipitation, and flooding, and they should be welcomed by both the drought-hammered West and warmth-starved East. (What's that about another snowstorm this weekend?) The main story is the enduring presence of El Niño. While it'll probably weaken in the months ahead, NOAA calls it a "strong climate signal that will shape the nation's weather this spring."
First, temperature: A huge portion of the country is under high probabilities for above-average warmth from April to June. The armpit-staining torridity is expected to be particularly intense in the Pacific Northwest and New England, as shown in this graphic from Climate.gov.
Heightened probabilities of wetness extend from California through the South and into the Southeast. Places that could get starved of moisture include the Great Lakes, eastern Washington, southern Alaska, and Hawaii.
The already-saturated earth in much of the country's south and midsection is ratcheting up flood threats through May. Says NOAA: "Parts of Louisiana, Arkansas and eastern Texas have an elevated risk of moderate flooding, along with communities along the Mississippi and Missouri River basins and the southeastern United States, from Alabama to North Carolina. Surrounding areas are at risk of minor flooding this spring."
Flooding won't help areas that really need a deluge, notably Southern California. The drought situation as of last week had much of the state under "exceptional" aridity, with abnormal-to-severe drought spread throughout the West.
A few places are expected to see a decrease or even end to drought, such as Northern California and Oregon. Drought will likely persist in Nevada and the lower half of California, however, and even spread to new territory in the Southwest.
A visual exploration of how a critical piece of social infrastructure came to be.
The proposals might seem radical—from banning huge corporate landlords to freezing rents for five years—but polls show the public is ready for something dramatic.
A judge has ruled that a lawsuit brought by Chicago preservationists can proceed, dealing a blow to Barack Obama's plans to build his library in Jackson Park.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's signature rail project would link cities and tourist sites in the Yucatan with rural areas and rainforests.
Infrastructure like this makes it clear why Germany continues to produce enthusiasm for public transit, generation after generation.

Where the Wild things are.
Ok i know we are a 'grown up' site but i still have to say that this book was the best thing of my childhood. It was what keept me going each day, what made me want to swing on the swings the best i could. No not really but this book is beyond words. So even though we are all 'adults' i think you should get a copy if you can find one. I picked one up from a second hand book shop and i love it. All 24 pages will change your life. Ok, also not not really. But the pictures are pretty cool.

An update on Claire Mossong's latest exhibition at La Commune. It's still up so if your passing through Hamilton (which understandably you most probably try to avoid) stop in at La Commune on Victoria St, grab a coffee, sit back and stare at the wonders that are the talent of Miss Mossong.

Went to an exhibition in London called 'Banksy vs Warhol' who are two artists i really respect. Warhol has inspired so much art in the music and fashion culture.
Thought I'd drop a pic of a Banksy original that he did sometime in the night before the exhibition opened right outside the front. It's the marilyn munroe painting of warhol.

White Birds and Lemons
White Birds and Lemons have just released there debut mini album "Who says your free?". It's got a Bluesy-Psychedelic-Folk-Rock-Experimental sound. Its been my best album buy all week and never leaves my stereo (yes that's right i still own a stereo). Go get it, its to good to miss out on.
This here is my amzing friend Dr. S.K Stuart. She is definitly my claim to fame. Not only is she the best dressed person in Auckland, but she rocks it out with the sisters in her band's the "Debutants" and "Political Period pain". I snapped her wearing this beautifully hand crafted leather Sabrina Dehoff neclace(the black mask). Dehoff is a berlin jewellery designer with exquisite hand made designs. Her pieces are really hard to track down; but have a wander around her site www.sabrinadehoff.com. I particually liked the 'little helpers' collection.
If you think DR.Stuart is a hot babe, email fix up to get fixed up. bad joke.

A walk-in clinic is designed for the underinsured and the uninsured, while an urgent care clinic is for more severe injuries and illnesses that can be more expensive to treat at a regular hospital, says Atlantis Urgent Care. Both types of clinics are becoming more popular than regular emergency rooms.
A walk-in clinic can be more cost efficient than visiting an emergency room and is intended to treat non-life-threatening conditions, notes Atlantis Urgent Care. Common injures that are treated at a walk-in clinic include minor infections, burns, skin rashes and sprains. An individual may also be able to receive a vaccination, physical examination and pregnancy test at a walk-in clinic. Such clinics operate on a first-come/first-served basis.
Urgent care clinics usually offer extended hours and medical services on weekends, says Atlantis Urgent Care. Services that an individual may find at an urgent care clinic include X-rays, treatment for deep lacerations and broken bones, and IV treatments.
There are some situations where going to the emergency room is better than going to either a walk-in or urgent care clinic, notes Scripps. Such situations include loss of balance, intestinal bleeding, head or eye injuries, serious burns, and constant vomiting. If an individual is ever in doubt about which medical option he should choose, it's best that he go to the emergency room.

The lead gunman signals The Driver to tune his radio to a specific station, then gives information (the passenger has $2 million in stolen diamonds) and instructions (you are going to pull over or we will kill you).
The passenger panics because he swallowed the diamonds and The Driver might as well kill him now rather than turn him over, because the gunmen will gut him.
What results is a series of excellent car maneuvers and specific tactical choices on the part of The Driver to gain the advantage over the pursuing van. Watch for the part where The Driver takes out the van's lights.
The ending is equally satisfying, with The Driver asking the question on everyone's mind as his passenger pays him and walks away.

The new models, essential for U.S. giants
After years in which competitors have dominated Asian automotive market, the three giants of American auto industry tries to regain ground, especially in her home, with models more attractive to customers what seemed until recently were only interested in trucks and SUVs . General Motors and Ford plans to publicly disclose the new versions of older models or less popular, while Chrysler Working Group is already a successful concept for the successor model Chrysler 300. The new models who are entering the U.S. market during this period are essential for American manufacturers, who have lost billions of dollars after the clients have changed the profile of economic models of competition. One of the most important new models seems to be American Chevrolet Malibu (pictured), which industry analysts appreciate as a feared competitor for "giants" Japanese key segment, the environment, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Americans are concerned, therefore, the launching of economic models and try to recover diesel and hybrid propulsion segment. Unfortunately for them, market conditions are among the most difficult and Nippon not sit with your hands in the breast and continue to develop their own models, always economical, attractive and technologically advanced.

Given the fact that Cook County Board President Richard Phelan and his supporters on the board have already raised taxes because of a serious budget deficit, it is apparent that there must be reductions in the county work force. Therefore, last November I proposed and had passed a resolution calling for an early retirement program for employees.
As a followup, I introduced SB 1770 creating a voluntary early retirement program for 2,500 eligible employees age 55 and older with ten years of service. This bill passed both chambers of the General Assembly and has been sent to Gov. Edgar. I have urged the governor to sign it because of the benefits to the county, its employees and ultimately all taxpayers here. The potential savings to Cook County amount to $10 million.
In addition, in May I reminded the Cook County retirement board of its mandate to create an early retirement program.
It is my desire to see that Cook County government does everything in its power to lower operating expenses so additional tax increases are not necessary.

Melbourne's BAR Studio designs Grand Hyatt Hong Kong's luxurious new Grand Suites
Hong Kong's majestic 5-star Grand Hyatt hotel reveals its newly designed Grand Suites by esteemed Melbourne design firm BAR Studio.
Conceived by Stewart Robertson, Principal/Director of BAR Studio, the design inspiration for the harbourside luxury hotel's new Grand Suites came from the idea of telling a story of fictional travellers.
Highlights the designer,"The greatest challenge of the project was working with the expectations of such a great hotel and trying to take it into the next generation. I was aware of how much people love Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, and how much a part of their history and their memories it is. We were trying to retain what was great from the original hotel, keeping the hotel's appeal to the people who already love it, but also appeal to the next generation."
Robertson and the team at BAR Studio imagined a group of sophisticated, rather eccentric travellers and the cultural journeys that led them through the doors of the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. For each traveller, a suite was conceptualised. A unique and personal style was created for each one; distinct in materials, patterns and character. And yet, as a whole, the stunning new Grand Suites are a refined collection of exclusive, residence-like spaces within the hotel.
Recognising Hong Kong's position as a gateway between the East and the West, and a link between centuries-old Chinese heritage and the contemporary world, Robertson fused clean lines and modern simplicity with traditional Asian influences and accents. All of the suites are located on the top floors of the hotel with spectacular views of the city skyline, Victoria Harbour and the Kowloon Peninsula. Each feels like a personal sanctuary, connected to the city below through those incredible views that create a true sense of place. With an emphasis on luxury, intelligent planning and functionality, beautiful materials are layered with personality to create elegant spaces.
The new Diplomat Harbour View Suite has been conceived by BAR Studio for an imagined 'Aristocratic Adventurer': an explorer, a bon vivant, a well-travelled visitor looking for sophisticated charm. The 80-square-metre space has a generous sitting area and is serviced by the exclusive Grand Club lifts. The palette contrasts beautifully, with ebony timber and black lacquer paired with pale walls, while black and white marble and minimal detailing juxtapose with ornate mouldings. Modern timber furniture is layered with exotic details such as embossed leather, and mid-century touches are seen in the lighting. Objects, sculptures and artworks add a bold sense of drama and suggest a connoisseur's eye for collecting.
The Ambassador Harbour View Suite has been designed for a traveller possessing 'Bohemian Chic'. It's a 110-square-metre space that features a soft palette of pale timber, leather, stone, golds and bronzes, accented with dark timber framing. Complete with a sitting area, as well as separate dining room, entertainment area and pantry, this room is for the fictional free-spirited sophisticate who has passionately explored the exotic East. Textures create interest, such as paisleys, prints and Chinese-influenced fabric designs – seen in the hand-painted, embroidered Fromental silk wall covering – and also the woven marble mosaic in the bathroom. Hervé van der Straeten's dramatic bronze wall sconce adds a note of sophisticated primitivism, and together with the considered collection of lighting, contemporary and classic art, the suite has an air of eclectic elegance.
The ultra luxurious 400-square-metre Presidential Suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the breathtaking views, as well as a welcome foyer, principal living room, junior living room, study, steam room facility, and 10-seat dining room with a pantry and a butler entrance. The master bedroom has walled-in, walk-in closets leading to a generous marble bathroom with full harbour view.
In the 'Contemporary Eclectic' Presidential Suite, BAR Studio imagined a sophisticated, urban traveller for this pared-back modern space. Finishes and textures create the contrast in the subtle palette of soft greys, white marble and pale timber. Modern and traditional elements sit side by side in a mix of Asian and European design influences: a classic Chinese armoire is placed with contemporary sofas and artwork; a green silk wallcovering is the backdrop for objects, ceramics and glass pieces; a modern interpretation of a four-poster bed anchors the bedroom; and silk curtains, with subtle textural and tonal details, add softness. Photographic artworks bring in a sense of the city and are paired with richly hued paintings.
The 'Classic Traditional' style of a second Presidential Suite was conceived by Robertson to have a more classic and tailored design for a traveller who appreciates the finer things in life. Cultured without being conservative, the palette includes black and white marble, black-lacquered timber and rich silk wallcoverings. A mix of Asian and antique furniture is complemented with details such as hand-finished metal handles and pulls on doors, and hand-painted, embroidered, customised Fromental silk wall coverings. Verre eglomisé – backed with silver leaf and hand painted with a design of blossom and branches – creates a backdrop to the freestanding bath, which stands on a marble mosaic floor in black and white. In the dining room, a classic silk wallcovering is juxtaposed with contemporary art, and rich tones of blues and reds. Crystal chandeliers add to the overall effect of relaxed sophistication and refined tastes.

TNT BRITAIN & ADG EUROPE present
»Romeo and Juliet«

Und bei vielen weiteren Vorverkaufsstellen.
Gastspiel in englischer Sprache.
Directed by Paul Stebbings
Musical Director: John Kenny
Producer: Grantly Marshall
TNT Theatre has developed an international reputation for presenting dynamic, exciting and direct productions of Shakespeare's major works. Live music, powerful choreography and a simple performance style allow a modern audience to experience Shakespeare's great love story as an Elizabethan audience might have done at a London theatre some four hundred years ago. In this production the play is freed from the clichés of West Side Story and the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and is rediscovered as a story not of urban street kids but of »two houses both alike in dignity.«
This is a tragedy of clan war, of a town in violent chaos, riven by family feuds, where the deaths of two young lovers bring the warring factions to their senses. Verona is brought to the stage in all its classical glory, Latin passion and baroque decadence. This is an Italy where honour, pride and family loyalty are valued above morality, peace and love. In a modern world equally riven by violence and intolerance, where peace seems as elusive as true love, this great tragedy is as relevant as ever. This is not a historical but a mythic setting that enables the morality play and the romantic tragedy to reach its true potential.
All too often, Shakespeare suffers from directors and even designers imposing an interpretation on the original that stifles its essence. TNT works carefully to bring out the true richness and depth of Shakespeare. This approach has been much appreciated by a wide audience who is often surprised at how accessible and relevant Shakespeare's plays become when they are performed in the manner Shakespeare might have intended. The plays were written to be performed with limited scenery which calls upon the imagination of the audience, live music, small casts, energetic physical performances and a sensitivity to poetry. All of these elements are present in a TNT Shakespeare production. Less is more or, to quote HAMLET, »the play is the thing.«
The music for this production comprises both recorded instrumental and live vocal elements. In addition to original composition, John Kenny has arranged and adapted many baroque vocal and instrumental works, which are performed on historical instruments by The Scott Free Ensemble (baroque violin, alto & tenor sackbuts recorders, percussion, harpsichord and organ). This production tours widely in Europe and China this season and has visited over thirty countries since its premier ten years ago.

Item ECM-1220 Plus. It's pricey, but you can get actual consumption right off the line. Nice thing is it's not fixed, which means I can take it to other's homes, connect to their computer, and get real data on actual consumption.
The very tool we need for the suit.

I'm just outside Guelph, have a smart meter and a TED 5000 unit. I've had the TED unit since mid Feb and I've just checked my bills against it. So far my Smart Meter is pretty accurate it seems, however, my bill is madness... the delivery charge is nearly the price of the electricity usage! (my average bill is around $420 a month because in winter its mostly over $700).ReplyDelete
Hi Guelph, Are you happy with the cost and features of the TED 5000?ReplyDelete
Joe, I'm going to do a post about monitoring devices in the next few days. Thanks for the link.ReplyDelete
Another 8% going to be added to our bills come July, thanks to McLiar.

1: The Japanese government is not testing all products. The government is doing random tests of foods mostly from the Fukushima area, but some grown outside Fukushima as well. Information about the tests the government have done can be found at http://atmc.jp/food/. Plenty of food is going to market without ever being tested.
2: Just because a product has been tested and discovered to contain radioactive cesium or iodine, doesn't stop it from reaching the market. Japan has specific levels of radiation allowed in the food that can be sold.
3: There is no such thing as a "safe" level of radiation. Any radiation can cause cancer. Generally, the less, the better. Though radiation outside of your body is usually brief and when you move away from the radiation source you no longer are in danger. Food you eat is a different story entirely. The radiation in food can easily be stored and used by your body. When this happens, the radioactive particles don't go away and continue to expose your internal organs to harmful radiation for the rest of your life.
4: The Japanese government is only testing for Cesium and Iodine. They are not testing for uranium, strontium, plutonium or any other number of radioactive particles that are created by the three dai-ichi nuclear power plants that melted down; Even though radioactive Strontium has been found 250km away from fukushima in Yokohama. See this link for more information.
5. Many foods are not labeled as to where they come from and none of it is policed by any organization. There are laws for some products but no enforcement for those laws. For more information on food safety, please watch this excellent youtube video: Food safety in Japan.
6. Food is not the only consumer product that is contaminated with radiation. Used cars are another recent danger. Please see this link and this link. How many other products might have radiation contamination that you never would have considered?
7. Radiation "hot spots" can be found hundreds of kilometers from Fukushima. These are areas you should avoid if you know about them. There may be areas you frequently visit. Have those areas been tested yet?
Buying and using a Geiger counter.
There are hundreds of Geiger counters on the market. Some ranging in price from tens to thousands of dollars or thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen. Even if you buy a Geiger counter, would you know how to use it? How do you use a Geiger counter? What is a Geiger counter? Let me answer these questions for you.
What is a Geiger Counter?
The word Geiger comes from the use of a Geiger-Muller tube. A Geiger-Muller tube is a metal tube containing a noble gas and electrical leads. When radiation passes through the tube, it creates an electric charge or pulse. The word counter means to simply count the amount of pulses over a specified amount of time. Geiger-counter.
You may know a Geiger Counter as a device that measures radiation. But there are many devices and many names for the same thing. Here is a list.
Geiger Counter
Survey meter
They all measure radiation in some way. A geiger counter usually measures with a Geiger-Muller tube, and the others can use the Geiger-Muller tube or a scintillation detector. A scintillation detector is a much more sensitive detector.
Most Geiger-Counters are hand held units where you can't even see the tube. They can be inexpensive, but are not very sensitive. Meaning, you can use one to test radiation and find hot spots, but for checking food you won't get a very good reading.
For testing food, you need a survey meter, scaler, or ratemeter. Any of these will be a boxlike device with a handle and either an analog display or a digital numerical display. They will have a cable and a probe detector that connects to them. The probe can be a Geiger-Muller tube or a Scintillation detector. These units can cost a few hundred to a few thousand dollars or ten thousand to a couple hundred thousand Yen. These units can be much more sensitive than the standard Geiger counter and are necessary for testing food.
Buying a Geiger counter, scaler, ratemeter or survey meter.
When buying one of these radiation detectors, the price can be a major stumbling block. A $500 unit in the USA could run you double that in Japan. I am not exactly sure why. I decided to buy a Ludlum model 3, model 2241-2 or model 2221. (click the models to see their perspective pages.) I found the price at Ludlum's website for each of these units. But the pricing is domestic pricing (USA pricing) only. They won't ship the item to you outside of the USA. You must contact one of their licensed sellers in Japan. The licensed sellers quoted prices 2.2x higher than the USA, even though the US dollar is so weak, and the Japanese Yen is so strong. When asked why the price was so high I was given this response.
"Your price was US domestic price of Ludlum, here is Japan.
The cost is not only ludlums equipment, such as transportation, consumption
tax, insurance and remmitance charge, so about twice.
And instruction translation cost for Japanese peaple and some informations
such as attached pdf files are included."
But later, he said he would give me a discount of 10% and then said I would have to pay tax which he stated above was included in the earlier price he quoted me.
Ludlum is not willing to sell to me directly because they need an End-User agreement. Some countries they are not allowed to sell their products to. The End-User agreement just says that they have made sure to the best of their ability that they are not selling a product that could get in the hands of, for instance, someone in North Korea.
One of the more important parts of buying a meter and detector new is calibration. Calibration means to set the unit to be as sensitive as possible without error. Calibration is not something the layman can do on their own.
If you don't mind buying a used meter or can find a unit that has been recently calibrated for the detector it comes with, you can save a lot of time and money. If you buy a used unit for example on Ebay, and the seller is willing to ship it to you in Japan, then you can save more than 50% on the price.
What Geiger counter should you buy?
If you just want to test areas for hotspots, any geiger counter should do. I would suggest the SOEKS Ecotester. which is the unit at the bottom left of the picture.
If you want to test your garden soil, or the food you buy then you are going to need a much more sensitive unit. for these measurements, you should get a survey meter of some sort, and a GM pancake detector. An example is the top left unit in the picture. That is a Johnson survey meter and pancake probe. It could run you from $600 to $2000 used.
Another option is a survey meter and scintillation probe. Scintillation probes are often made of Sodium Iodide Crystals that are reactive and glow in the presence of radiation. They are very sensitive, but won't detect all radiation like the pancake probe, which is a problem since there are three kinds of radiation. The three kinds of radiation are Alpha, Beta and Gamma. For more information on these, please come back for my next article.
How to use a Geiger counter?
Geiger counters give readings in the following:
CPM: Counts Per Minute, corresponding directly to the audible beeps or clicks per minute. CPM is the standard unit of measurement for alpha and beta radiation, and is also commonly used to express background radiation in numerical terms.
mR/hr: milli-Roentgens per hour, or 1/1000 of a Roentgen per hour, a standard unit of measurement for radioactivity, popular in the United States and Israel.
µR/hr: micro-Roentgens per hour, or one millionth of a Roentgen per hour.
mSv/hr: milli-Sieverts per hour.
µSv/hr: micro-Sieverts per hour, a standard unit of measurement for radioactivity, popular in Canada and overseas.
Any one of these can be converted to the other fairly simply, but it is best to have a unit that measures using the unit of measurement you are most familiar with.
Each unit will have it's own special settings but here is an explanation of how you should measure the radiation in food using a CDV-700 and standard GM pancake probe.
1. Set the unit where you will be testing the food before you put the food down for testing.
2. Test the ambient radiation for at least 5 minutes, or more for a better reading of ambient radiation. Record that number
3. Add your food to the test. Test again for at least 5 minutes.
4.Subtract your ambient radiation reading from the new reading. Anything left over would be the radiation output of the food.
If you do this test many times and average the results, you will have a much more accurate account of the radiation content of the food.
Without a spectrometer, there is no way to know what radioactive elements might be in the food you test. A cheap spectrometer will run you $5,000 or more, and they won't be very accurate until you get into the tens of thousands. At least with this method you can test your food and throw anything away that shows a large increase in radiation measurement. Any radiation is bad, and it shouldn't be necessary to know exactly what radioactive elements you are dealing with. Just throw anything that is radioactive in the trash.
You can also use this same technique for measuring soil radiation. Later, I will give a list of all the places and things you will most want to check for radiation. Keep coming back for more!

THOMAS COSTANZO v. F. SCOTT GRAY et al., AC 29228
Judicial District of Danbury
Medical Malpractice; Battery; Whether the Trial Court Should have Admitted Evidence of Standard of Care as it Related to Defendant's Medical Record Keeping; Whether Patient Pamphlet was Properly Barred in Connection with Challenge to Defendant's Credibility; Whether the Court should have Set Aside the Defendants' Verdicts as being Unsupported by the Evidence. The plaintiff, who was experiencing low back pain, saw F. Scott Gray, an orthopedic surgeon, for treatment. He underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, which revealed a "large left posterolateral disc protrusion at [the] L4-L5" level of the spine. After discussing the MRI results with the plaintiff, Gray wrote in an office note that the MRI showed a left sided herniation, "probably in part free fragment." The plaintiff agreed to undergo a microdiscectomy using the METRx retractor system, which permits disc repair surgery to be done through a small incision. Subsequently, Gray submitted a history and physical examination form to the hospital that described the plaintiff's complaint as low back pain with right leg discomfort and a right sided herniation. Before surgery, the plaintiff signed a form consenting to a "left L4-L5 microdiscectomy." Gray performed surgery on the right side of the plaintiff's back and, in the postoperative report, again referred to right sided herniation. Following surgery, the plaintiff's back pain continued and he underwent two additional back surgeries. Subsequently, the plaintiff sued Gray and his office practice. He alleged that Gray negligently operated on the wrong side of his back and committed a battery since the plaintiff had consented to surgery on his left side. At trial, the plaintiff's expert testified that Gray had performed a right sided microdiscectomy. Gray, however, testified that although he made some erroneous record entries, he intentionally performed a left microdiscectomy via a right sided approach because this procedure is safer when using the METRx retractor system. The defendants' expert testified that Gray acted within the standard of care by taking the right sided approach in this case, although he stated that if Gray had suspected a free fragment, then the standard of care would have required him to take a left sided approach to address the left sided herniation. As to the free fragment, Gray testified that although he initially thought there was one, he changed his mind after speaking with a radiologist. Also, the plaintiff asked Gray questions about the availability of a patient pamphlet describing the METRx procedure and whether he gave any such pamphlets to patients undergoing a microdiscectomy. The trial court refused to allow the plaintiff to admit one of the pamphlets into evidence to attack Gray's credibility. Also, the court precluded the plaintiff from asking Gray or his expert about the standard of care regarding the creation and keeping of medical records. At the end of the trial, the jury found for the defendants, and the court refused to set aside the verdict. On appeal, the plaintiff, in addition to challenging the foregoing evidentiary rulings, contends that the court improperly refused to set aside the verdict on the battery count. He asserts that the defendants' expert testified that Gray did not "technically" perform a left microdiscectomy and, hence, the verdict was contrary to the evidence. Further, he claims that the court should have set aside the verdict on the negligence count because the jury could not have reasonably concluded that Gray's undocumented conversation with an unidentified radiologist would have altered his thinking about the presence of a free fragment, and the jury should have found, therefore, that Gray breached the standard of care in taking a right sided approach.

The Commission announced that on August 26, 2010, Federal District Judge Paul Gardephe of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered final judgments approving settlements between the Commission and the defendants in the pending case against FTC Capital Markets, Inc. ("FTC"), FTC Emerging Markets ("Emerging Markets"), Guillermo David Clamens, and Lina Lopez. The judgments against Clamens, FTC and Emerging Markets order those defendants to pay over $20 million in disgorgement and penalties but provide for full satisfaction of their monetary obligations by defendants' release of their assets frozen at the start of the case and any other assets in the United States. The final judgments, to which the defendants consented without admitting or denying allegations in the Commission's complaint, also permanently enjoin all the defendants from future violations of the relevant provisions of the federal securities laws.
The Commission filed the action on May 19, 2009, charging Clamens, FTC, a registered broker-dealer controlled by Clamens, and Lopez, an FTC employee, with a fraudulent scheme to engage in tens of millions of dollars of unauthorized securities trading through the accounts of two FTC customers. According to the Commission's complaint, Clamens and Lopez defrauded the two FTC customers in part to conceal their prior fraudulent sale of $50 million in non-existent notes to a Venezuelan bank through defendant Emerging Markets, another Clamens-controlled entity. When the fictitious notes held by the Venezuelan bank purportedly came due in August 2008, Clamens allegedly misappropriated $50 million from the two FTC customers to fund the redemption. In addition, the Complaint alleged that Emerging Markets illegally acted as an unregistered broker-dealer. As a result of the alleged misconduct, the Complaint charged that defendants FTC, Emerging Markets, Clamens and Lopez violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; defendant FTC violated Section 15(c) of the Exchange Act; defendant Emerging Markets violated Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act; and defendants Clamens and Lopez aided and abetted FTC's violations of Exchange Act Section 15(c) and Emerging Markets' violations of Exchange Act Section 15(a).
The final judgment against Lopez holds her liable for a civil penalty of $130,000 but does not order her to pay the penalty in light of her conviction in a separate criminal proceeding, United States v. Nazly Cucunuba Lopez a/k/a Lina Lopez, 09 Cr. 985 (RPP)(S.D.N.Y.), and her sworn representations of financial condition. Separately, Clamens and Lopez both agreed to settle related administrative proceedings by the Commission by consenting to be barred from association with any broker or dealer.
The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom in this matter.

"Within MLOZ-IT, we see the ECC as a full-fledged long-term project. It soon became clear to us that LoQutus' role was not yet finished. We needed consultants to continue guiding and supporting us in our projects in the coming years." - Wim Savonet, Team Coordinator at MLOZ-IT
Implementation of ESB-solution and establishment of competence centre are key elements of the approach
IT-service provider MLOZ-IT is the IT partner for independent and neutral health insurance funds in Belgium. Its teams of analysts, developers, project leaders and network/system engineers ensure the optimal electronic processing of the repayment of healthcare proceeds. MLOZ-IT is dedicated to guaranteeing reliable and safe access to IT applications for its users. This also requires rapid response to changes in legislation.
Wim Savonet, team coordinator at MLOZ-IT, explains, "Like in many organisations, we have seen a proliferation of applications within MLOZ-IT. Different departments work with a variety of technologies and platforms, each comprising its own island. The need for a centrally managed platform became increasingly imperative. But the more technologies and applications, the more complex the integration becomes. To us, the solution was the implementation of an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and, more specifically, the IBM Integration Bus (IIB)." And this is where LoQutus brought value.
An integration partner with expertise
An ESB integration of this scope requires the creation of a reference structure and the development of guidelines. It involves relatively new technology and, as an integration expert, LoQutus already had valuable experience with similar projects. That made the choice of LoQutus as MLOZ-IT's partner for this critical project an easy decision.
Niek Jacobsen, Senior IIB developer & architect at LoQutus, adds, "The aim was to establish an infrastructure that ensured every project and every problem within MLOZ-IT would be approached in the same way. The first part of our mission was to provide the reference structure and establish standards, followed by the actual implementation of the technology."
To ensure smooth deployment and an ongoing evolution of the platform, MLOZ-IT also decided to establish a competence centre, consisting of people experienced in ESB. These resources would be available to anyone within the organisation who needs integration advice and support.
ESB competence centre as coach
Initially, the ESB Competence Centre (ECC) consisted of one LoQutus employee who trained MLOZ-IT employees that would ultimately staff the centre. The ECC centralised the firm's IIB knowledge and organised training sessions for employees. While the implementation of applications is always undertaken by an MLOZ-IT employee who is not part of the ECC, ECC members are available in an essential coaching role that ensures smooth and effective implementation.
Savonet reports, "Within MLOZ-IT, we see ECC as a fully-fledged long-term project, of which I am Project Manager. That being said, it soon became clear to us that LoQutus' role was not yet completed. We needed the expertise of their consultants to continue guiding and supporting us as we roll out additional projects in the coming years." Today, the competence centre team consists of two people from MLOZ-IT – an architect and an ESB-developer – along with three LoQutus' employees and an external team leader.
Major challenges
The first challenge was convincing the MLOZ-IT management of the need for an ESB solution and a competence centre, especially with regard to the return on required investments for both purchasing the product and training of the users. The smooth course of the first projects, however, quickly assured the management that it was a good decision for the future of the organisation.
The next challenge was convincing employees of the benefits this way of working would bring. "Point-to-Point was strongly embedded in our earlier way of working, but that had to change," Savonet explains. "As you might expect, our people were initially somewhat resistant to the changes required. For them, the need for a centrally managed platform was less evident. But this is where the ECC demonstrated its usefulness in training employees and getting them on board with the new way of working: the team developed guidelines and best practices, supervised implementation projects, and more."
Meanwhile, everyone within MLOZ-IT has recognised the added value that the project brings. "Sometimes, we still are lacking the right mindset in certain areas," Savonet adds. "But eventually, we believe everyone in the organisation will be fully on board. The integration of customer services will form an important next step for the organisation."
Satisfied responses
Overall, the MLOZ-IT staff has responded well to the new ESB solution and to the ECC and its supportive role. When a problem occurs, LoQutus is often already aware of the cause and can quickly offer efficient solutions. The ECC ensures very high added value within the project: training employees and overseeing project implementation are critical to the success of implementations of this nature. The consensus was that the implementation would have run much less smoothly if an external team had been used.
For MLOZ-IT's customers, the health insurance funds, turnaround times have become considerably shorter and there is more capacity for maintenance and support of various services. Maintenance costs have also decreased significantly, with everything running much more smoothly thanks to the transparency these new applications deliver.

My company bus starts at Deepanjali Nagar and goes via Banashankari, BTM layout and silk board before reaching the office. I get in at Banashankari and normally it will take close to about one and half hours to reach my office in the morning and close to 2 hours in the evening to reach back home. Since I get in close to the starting point of the bus I have an advantage to choose the choicest seat in the bus. And having travelled in the same bus from some months now, I usually occupy a window seat in the second row which keeps my journey uninterrupted. The movement of the people who get in at later stops disturbs the people who have occupied the aisle seat. Once I am in the bus I sleep for most part of the journey.
It was no different this morning except that when I got into the bus I found my usual place already occupied. I did not want to move to the rear of the bus and so occupied the aisle seat in the second row and as usual dozed off. Every now and then I could sense the movement of people towards the rear seats and by the time the bus reached silk board I was again fully awake. The bus was full by that point when a lady got into the bus and started searching for a seat. Normally, people who get into the bus at that stop and do not find a seat, will get down and wait for another bus as most of our company buses have to ply via that stop to reach the office. But this lady did not get down from the bus and stood in between the first and the second row. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the office from that point.
I wondered if I have to give up my seat for the lady. It will not be courteous of me to sit while a lady stands. I looked and saw most men seated around were either sleeping or were busy with the morning newspaper. So as long as you are ignorant that a lady is standing there is no need to feel bad about it. Pretend to be asleep and the gentlemanly world will not blame you. Moreover in a big city like Bangalore with a population of close to 8 million, you cannot expect everybody to behave in a true gentlemanly manner at all times. So in the true spirit of a daily long distance commuter I closed my eyes and pretended to be blissfully asleep upholding the values of an ignorant gentleman.
My eyes were closed but my mind was full of thoughts if I have to make way for the lady – ""What happened to those lessons of chivalry I have learnt? Have I forgotten them so soon? But I have to think of myself too. I commute close to three and half hours everyday. This lady might be spending hardly 30 to 45 minutes in the entire day. My need to be seated is more than hers. But would have I thought in the same way if my mother or my wife were standing? Wouldn't have I offered the seat to them? If my mother or my wife were standing, yes, I would have, but here the scenario is different. Moreover I occupied this seat before her. I have all rights to sit. There is no rule which asks me to forgo my precious place. This is all true. If a guy was standing these thoughts would have been probably ok, unless he really needed to sit. But here, it's a lady who is standing, and I should be giving up my place. Why should I give up? Aren't there any other gentlemen sitting around? Guys who might have got into the bus one stop earlier to this lady, why can't they give up? Also, many of them look senior than me. If seniors don't understand, it's ok for me not to worry about it. Just because some guys around me are neglecting, is it correct on my part to think its ok? Don't I have some basic courtesy? I understand the basic courtesy. Sometimes I have travelled standing till this very point, in the evening due to non availability of seats. Did anyone ever give up their seat for me? Just because no body ever offered me their seat, should I act in the same way? Can't I take the first step and show the people around how a gentleman behaves? Ok I will offer my seat but let the lady not come to a conclusion that, she can get into a bus and somebody will offer her a seat. She has to check if a place is available and should also try to take another bus if one bus is full. But for today I will offer her my place. But let her stand till half way""
Once I had come to a conclusion that I will offer my seat, to the lady, half way, I waited to be very sure that it was 7.5 minutes since she had stepped into the bus. I did not want to open my eyes and check my watch as it would put me on the same stage as the other so called gentlemen sitting around me. When I was sure it was 7.5 minutes I opened my eyes and pretended to have been sleeping all the while. I looked around and to my dismay we were very close to the office, a minute or 2 away. It will be foolish of me to get up now and offer the seat to the lady. I had wasted close to 15 minutes thinking, only to realize that the entire exercise had turned futile. I looked around at the other gentlemen who had at least used the last 15 minutes fruitfully, sleeping or reading the newspaper. As we reached the office I got down the bus and decided never to think about this entire episode.

In my youth, I was so perplexed by the name...why is it called hot? because its spicey? or because it was scalding hot when it came to the table. Sour?...what made it sour? When I hear sour, I think lemons...but this was not that kind of sour. Yet, it was so overwhelmingly satisfying. It hit every tastebud in my mouth, and was rich, yet light, salty, yet not, sour, but not brashly so. (I would come to learn later this was Umami.) The soup was a culinary mystery to me.
Do you ever ask anyone, "What Chinese soup is your favorite?" and there are really just three answers, won-ton, egg-drop, or hot and sour. And everyone has their favorite. For me its the hot and sour all the way. And I decided I wanted to enjoy that favorite soup of my past.
So, I picked up some dried mushrooms at my local grocery and hit Google for a recipe. I found Tyler Florence's...it looked good, fairly simple...traditional...like I recalled from the Chinese restaurants. But there were some unusal ingredients, so it became a marathon of substitutions from my pantry.
Turns out they all worked brilliantly, and it tasted wonderful!
Here is my version inspired by Tyler's version.
- Dried mushrooms , about 1 cup dried
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tbs. powdered ginger
- 2 sliced leeks, or use white onion (about 1 cup)
- Red Chile paste, such as sambal oelek
- ¼ tsp. red Chile paste (for mild)
- 1 tablespoon (for hot)
- 1/2 cup raw white beet, sliced into thin flat pieces (or use turnip, or celery! it all gives the same kind of texture and crunch)
- 1/4 cup gluten free tamarind sauce (GF soy sauce)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper
- ¼ tsp. (for mild)
- 1 tsp. (for hot)
- 1 quart GF beef broth, included in the quart the soaking liquid of the dried mushrooms
- 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup water
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Chopped green onions and cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)
Place the dried mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with warm tap water. Let stand for 10-minutes to soften. Then drain liquid and add to beef stock. Slice the mushrooms thin.
In a soup pot, add the oil and over medium-high heat sautee the ginger, leeks, chili paste, mushrooms, and beet, cook and stir for 1 minute to infuse the flavor. Then add to the pot GF soy sauce sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, and broth, bring the soup to simmer and simmer for 5-minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the soup and maintain a simmer until the soup thickens, stirring. Drizzle in the egg and turn off the heat. Stir to incorporate the egg.
