I still think the pricing is too much.. For hyosung to be hyundai it has to latch on to pricing better. With the inline fz around, the iconic ducati around.. And the kawasaki threat.. IMO anything beyond 4Ish is risky. Especially so considering kawasaki is bullish in keep the pricing low... No one would like to see a dead Korean duck! I hope they do well. If they still come beyond 5, it would be clear that garware doesn't intend to stick around and just wants to make a quick buck in this starving market.

I reality, i would guess that less than 10% of Indian performance bikers actually take their machines to the track. So all the handling and power and exoticness becomes moot. For most of us, a twin, whether inline, parallel, V or boxer is nirvana compared to the single cylinder stickered, red-painted crap we keep getting. So give us a good, multi cylinder bike in any configuration, price it right (very imp.) and we'll buy loads of it!
Very rightly said about engine refinement losing out to over-stressing, a case in point is the RTR (i own an Fi). From the fiero till the apache all was well. Then tvs just had to tweak a little bit more out of the same engine. And the vibes and very excessive wear of various engine parts compared to other performance bikes, is proof of the over-engineering. Fun like hell to ride though.

And by announcing the Superlow @ 5.5L and 883 Iron @ 6.5L, Harley might have just killed the ST7 even before the game started. I am not sure how many people will go for ST7 when they can get a bigger, better Harley for much less amount of money.

Hyosung bikes is not sport bike because it need a more powerful engine.But looking so powerful.
Thanks for sharing.

People who probably haven't even seen the damn bike in real life, leave alone test ridden it, are commenting on it being too heavy/bulky etc.
Think it's time for a 'real' report mate...

After a record pool of applications for the incoming class, the College of Mount St. Joseph will welcome back students including more than 300 freshmen, on Monday, August 26 with a wing of renovated residence hall rooms and a renovated main entrance/lobby, along with new programs and three new deans.
Students have new fields of study to consider, including four majors in informatics and educational studies. New minors are now available in computer science and leadership and civic engagement. Also new are fully online degree completion programs including RN-BSN, criminology and multicultural special education in January.
Three new deans will also lead the divisions of business, health sciences and arts and humanities. Jamal Rashed, Ph.D., comes to the Mount after serving as dean of business at Northern Michigan University. Sue Wajert, Ph.D., will lead the health sciences division and Mike Sontag, Ph.D., will lead arts and humanities after serving as interim dean since February.
"It's going to be an exciting year at the Mount since we're implementing our Vision2020 strategic plan that we announced in April," said Tony Aretz, Ph.D., president of the Mount. "We have exciting speakers coming on campus this year and other new programs we're kicking off this fall."
One of those programs is the Talent Opportunity Program (TOP). TOP allows students who have completed the gold level of a series of career development classes to have the services of a third party career coaching firm—on the Mount's dime—if they have not found a professional job more than six months after graduation.
The west wing of the Seton Hall residence facility was renovated and now features rooms with new furniture, paint, fixtures, and flat screen televisions in the hall community room. The main entrance in the lobby outside the admission office which welcomes students to campus, was also redecorated.
The media are welcome to come to campus to take back-to-school photos and video. Please call Jill Eichhorn at (513) 244-4481 or (513) 673-6047 if you would like to come out.
The College of Mount St. Joseph is an undergraduate and graduate Catholic college that provides an interdisciplinary liberal arts and professional curriculum emphasizing values, service and social responsibility.

Beginners' guide/Preparation
- 1 Prepare the Installation
- 1.1 Obtain the latest Installation media
- 1.2 Boot Arch Linux Installer
Prepare the Installation
Obtain the latest Installation media
You can obtain Arch's official installation media from here. The latest version is 2010.05
- Both the Core and the Netinstall images provide only the necessary packages to create an Arch Linux base system. Note that the Base System does not include a GUI. It is mainly comprised of the GNU toolchain (compiler, assembler, linker, libraries, shell, and utilities), the Linux kernel, and a few extra libraries and modules.
- Core images facilitate both installing from CD and Net.
- Netinstall images are smaller and provide no packages themselves; the entire system is retrieved via internet.
- The Arch64 FAQ can help you choose between the 32-, 64-bit and dual versions.
- Don't forget to download the checksum txt files along with your chosen ISO.
Check the Integrity of the Downloaded File
cd to the directory where the downloaded files have been placed, and invoke
$ sha1sum --check name_of_checksum_file.txt name_of_selected_iso_file.iso
This should give you an "OK" for the one you have. (Simply ignore other lines.) If not, download all files again. The md5sum check works the same way.
Install Over a Network
Instead of writing the boot media to a disc or USB drive, you may alternatively boot the .iso image over the network. This works well when you already have a server set up. Please see this article for more information, and then continue to Boot Arch Linux Installer
CD installer
Burn the .iso image file to a CD or DVD media with your preferred CD/DVD burner drive and software, and continue with Boot Arch Linux Installer
Flash Memory Device or USB stick
See Install from a USB flash drive for more detailed instructions.
This method will work for any type of flash media from which your BIOS will let you boot, be it a card reader or USB port.
dd will obediently write to any target you point to, even if that is your hard disk.
*nix Method
Insert an empty or expendable flash device, determine its path, and write the .iso to the device with the
dd program:
# dd if=archlinux-2010.05-{core|netinstall}-{i686|x86_64|dual}.iso of=/dev/sdx
if= is the path to the .iso file and
of= is your flash device. Make sure to use Template:Filename and not Template:Filename. You will need a flash memory device large enough to accommodate the image.
To verify that the image was successfully written to the flash device, make a note of the number of records (blocks) read in and written out, then perform the following check:
$ dd if=/dev/sdx count=number_of_records status=noxfer | md5sum
The md5sum returned should match the md5sum of the downloaded archlinux image file (2010.05); they both should match the md5sum of the image as listed in the md5sums file in the mirror distribution site. A typical run will look like this: Template:Command
Continue with Boot Arch Linux Installer
Microsoft Windows Method
Download Disk Imager from https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download. Insert flash media. Start the Disk Imager and select the image file (Disk Imager accepts only *.IMG files, so you'll have to put "*.iso" in file open dialog to select Arch snapshot). Select the drive letter associated with the flash drive. Click "write".
There are also other solutions to writing bootable ISO images to USB sticks. If you have problems with USB sticks disconnecting, try using different USB port and/or cable.
Continue with Boot Arch Linux Installer
Boot Arch Linux Installer
Boot from the Media
Insert the CD or Flash media you prepared, and boot from it. You may have to change the boot order in your computer BIOS or press a key (usually DEL, F1, F2, F11 or F12) during the BIOS POST (Power On Self-Test) phase.
Main Menu: The main menu should be displayed at this point. Select the preferred choice by using the arrow keys to highlight your choice, and then by pressing Enter. Menus vary slightly among the different ISOs.
OS System Start
The system will now load and present a login prompt. Login as 'root', without the quotes.
If using an Intel video chipset and the screen goes blank during the boot process, the problem is likely an issue with kernel mode setting. A possible workaround may be achieved by rebooting and pressing <Tab> at the GRUB menu to enter kernel options. At the end of the kernel line, add a space and then:
Alternatively, add:
which (if it works) will not disable kernel mode setting.
When done making any changes to any menu command, simply press "Enter" to boot with that setup.
See the Intel article for more information.
Changing the keymap
If you have a non-US keyboard layout you can interactively choose your keymap/console font with the command:
# km
or use the loadkeys command:
# loadkeys layout
where layout is your keyboard layout such as "
fr" or "
The official install guide is conveniently available right on the live system! To access it, change to tty2 (virtual console #2) with <ALT>+F2, log in as "root" and then invoke
/usr/bin/less by typing in the following at the # prompt:
# less /usr/share/aif/docs/official_installation_guide_en
less will allow you to page through the document.
Change back to tty1 with <ALT>+F1 to follow the rest of the install process. (Change back to tty2 at any time if you need to reference the Official Guide as you progress through the installation process.)

So I haven't posted in a while. I was busy, broke, and many other things. However, I was given a good bit of advice, "Be too stupid to give up." I mulled it over for a good long while and decided to ignore my bank account and lazier self and keep on the keepin' on.
But it was too hot to bake, so I made ice cream instead. Cereal milk ice cream. I was always the kind of gal who let her milk get warm at the dinner table. These days I blame it on the fact that the milk was skim, which I do still buy on occasion, but it usually goes bad because fat free milk is simply unacceptable for baking and drinking.
The skim milk sitting beneath my morning cereal, however, got slurped up faster than the cereal itself. So when a friend told me about the flavor he had at Momofuko's Milk Bar in the city, I knew I was hooked – AND I HADN'T EVEN TASTED IT YET! I was hooked on just the idea.
See, my mom never really bought junk food when I was younger, and still doesn't, and truth be told, neither do I, much to my boyfriend's dismay. However, she did indulge us in her purchase of sugary cereals. My favorite cereal was always Honeycomb, but in a strange and unexpected twist, the best milk hid under a bright colorful mound of Trix – mildly fruity and sweet enough to classify as dessert any day. I don't get Trix at 20% off, though, so I settled for what I hoped would be the next best thing, and it was.
Cereal Milk Ice Cream
1 ½ cups whole milk, divided
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups cereal of your choice
¼ cup sugar (or less, depending on your cereal)
3 egg yolks
- Combine 1 cup whole milk and 1 ½ cups cereal in a bowl. Allow to set in the refrigerator for no more than 30 minutes. Set a timer and don't forget about it!
- Drain the milk into a saucepan and discard the soggy cereal. Add the ½ cup whole milk and sugar. Heat gently and stir, allowing the sugar to dissolve.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks until lighter yellow and frothy. Temper the yolks by slowly pouring some of the cream into the bowl while whisking. An extra set of hands, or a stand mixer helps a ton! Once the yolks have been warmed gently, pour them into the milk and sugar mixture while whisking.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Place 1 cup heavy cream in a bowl, place a fine mesh strainer over the bowl. Once the custard has thickened, strain it into the cream, and stir, checking for any stray custardy lumps.
- Allow to refrigerate overnight, then churn according your ice cream maker's instructions.
I've always found the hardest part of making ice cream is waiting for it to be ice cream consistency, which can take up to 8 hours! Yuck! Solve this dilemma by churning the custard first thing in the morning while you get ready for work. When you get home, you'll have delicious ice cream ready in time for dessert!
I topped mine with the fruity bunnies I used to flavor the milk, but considered mixing them in. Next time my mom visits me, I'm definitely making Lucky Charm ice cream, and plan on mixing in the marshmallows.

Hi All
After being paid off from my day job (boo, yeah or somewhere in between) I have accepted an invitation to mentor some adults with learning disabilities with Daybreak at Ministeracres near Consett, Co. Durham.
Misteracres is an old Victorian Estate and there is an active restoration of the woodland providing a plentiful supply of fresh timber.
Daybreak have a lease on the walled garden within Ministeracres where they offer work experience to Adults with Learning Disabilities.
So far the wood working group have made Bird Boxes, restored some very old and lovely furniture and made some willow structures for the garden.
I am very keen to offer them some opportunities to make things from real trees and branches that they can sell at their christmas and summer fates.
My portfolio so far consists of coat hooks made from a suitable branch and buttons made from cross sections of dried twigs. I am also hoping to make them a Shave Horse so they can make gipsy flowers.
I was just wondering if any other members had other suggestions for Green Woodworking projects for these guys or have had experience in working in this sector.
Kindest regards

Liquid flu drug Tamiflu in short supply in some areas
Spot shortages of liquid Tamiflu, the anti-flu drug in liquid form for children, mean parents may have to ask a pharmacist to produce an alternative using the adult form in a syrup.
Flu medicine for children is in short supply in some parts of the country. Many pharmacies can make up an alternative when needed — but parents may need to ask for it.
The medicine, Tamiflu, is a prescription drug that directly attacks the flu virus and can lessen the duration and severity of the flu in adults, children and infants. It may also help protect people exposed to someone with the flu from getting sick. It should be taken within 48 hours of the onset of flu symptoms.
Adults can take Tamiflu capsules, but because most children can't easily swallow pills — especially when they're sick — they are given the drug in liquid form.
It's the liquid form that's in short supply "due to recent increased demand," said Sarah Clark-Lynn, a spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration.
"We are seeing intermittent shortages at some stores in some areas," CVS Pharmacy spokesman Mike DeAngelis said from the company's Woonsocket, R.I., headquarters. "It's a combination of the fact that the supplier has had an issue with getting enough liquid Tamiflu in the market and the demand caused by the early influenza season."
The FDA is monitoring the situation "and will post information on our website. "We are also working with the company to increase supplies," FDA spokeswoman Sarah Clark-Lynn said.
Tamiflu is made by Genentech in South San Francisco.
"If a particular CVS pharmacy does not have the liquid in stock and is not able to get it from a nearby store, our pharmacists can compound the capsules, which are still in ample supple, into the liquid form," DeAngelis said.
There's no connection between the process of making a liquid suspension of Tamiflu and the problems associated with the New England Compounding Pharmacy and tainted steroid injections that caused meningitis last year.
Compounding liquid Tamiflu is simple. "Basically, the capsules are emptied out and the contents combined with Ora-Sweet to make a liquid suspension," DeAngelis said. Ora-Sweet is a thick, sweet syrup used as a base for many liquid children's medicines.
Canada has released a supply of liquid Tamiflu from its National Emergency Stockpile to address a potential shortage.
Shortages of liquid Tamiflu also occurred in 2011 and during the H1N1 pandemic in 2009.

Proposed Canon
Blindness is a special status effect that prevents a unit from seeing anything. It can be inflicted by several different types of units, including Lookamancers. One way to overcome it is to use a Foolamancer to serve as the unit's eyes. It can be cured by a Healomancer.
Real World References
The incantation for a Lookamancer's blindness spell, "Lemon Jefferson", is a reference to a blind blues singer and guitarist from Texas.

J. Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Maraschino Cherry, Sz 0, $188 (L)
H&M Blazer, Sz 6, $35 (R)
I'm wearing the same shirt underneath just so the comparison is as fair as possible :) As you can tell, they both have a similar silhouette - both are cropped and slim-fitting.
The J. Crew blazer obviously is of better quality with thicker fabric, more structure, 2-button closure and cuff buttons. The gold buttons are beautiful and I feel like this blazer will stand the test of time.
The H&M one features a single-button closure, a brighter red color and a stretchy jersey material. The lining at the cuff keeps popping out because the jersey has so little structure. As far as fit goes, the H&M at size 6 is smaller in the torso than the J. Crew at size 0. This gives me further motivation to lose the baby weight!
When asking myself what I really want, I find that the answer is quite simple - I just want a red, fitted blazer. I'm not sure that I need one as a closet staple so I don't mind sacrificing quality in this case. Having said that, the H&M blazer is a keeper. I'm planning on switching out the button for a pretty gold one.
Which would you choose?

Jim Thome's ninth-inning home run gives the Phils a walk-off win as they defeat the Rays, 7-6.
A ninth-inning lead-off home run by pinch hitter Jim Thome gives the Phils a walk-off victory as they defeat the Rays, 7-6.
The Rays took the lead in the second as, with two men on, and with 0ne man out, Jeff Keppinger hits a two-run double, knocking in Ben Zobrist, who had earlier singled, then moved up to second base on Jose Lobaton's walk, and Lobaton, who had just walked, giving the Rays a 2-0 lead, before moving up to third base on second baseman Michael Martinez's throwing error. The Rays then took a 3-0 lead as, two batters later, Keppinger scored on James Shield's ground out, 6-3, while Elliot Johnson, who has just walked, moved up to second base. The Phils got two runs back in the third as, with a man on first, and with nobody out, Jimmy Rollins hits a two-run home run, his sixth home run of the year, knocking in Kyle Kendrick, who had started the inning off with a walk, making it a 3-2 Rays' lead. The Phils then took the lead in the fourth as, with two men on, and with two men out, Juan Pierre hits a three-run home run, his first home run of the season, knocking in pinch hitter Mike Fontenot, who had earlier singled, then moved up to third base on Rollins' single, and Rollins, who had just singled, then moved up to second base on the throw to third base. giving the Phils a 5-3 lead. The Phils added to their lead in the seventh as, with a man on second, and with one man out. Carlos Ruiz hits an RBI single, knocking in Pierre, who had earlier reached base on second baseman Zobrist's throwing error, moving up to second base, then stole third base, giving the Phils a 6-3 lead. The Rays would get a run back in the eighth as, with the bases loaded on singles by Zobrist, Lobaton and Keppinger, and with one man out, Sean Rodriguez hits an RBI single, scoring Zobrist, making it a 6-4 Phils' lead, while sending Lobaton up to third base and Keppinger to second base, leaving the bases loaded. The Rays then made it a 6-5 Phils' lead in the ninth as, with two men on, and with two men out, Keppinger hits an RBI single, knocking in Hideki Matsui, who had earlier singled, then moved up to second base on Zobrist's ground out, 1-3, while sending pinch runner Chris Archer, who was pinch running for Lobaton, who had earlier walked, on to third base. The Rays then tied the game up at six-all as Brooks Conrad hits an RBI single, knocking in Archer, while sending Keppinger up to third base. The Phils won the game in their half of the ninth as pinch hitter Jim Thome hits a lead-off home run, his fifth home run of the year, giving the Phils a 7-6 walk-off win.
Kyle Kendrick received a no-decision as he pitched four innings, giving up three runs, only two of which were earned, on six hits and three walks, while striking out six. Raul Valdes pitched two scoreless innings, giving up a hit, while striking out four. Chad Qualls collected his twelfth hold of the season as he pitched two-thirds of an inning, getting out both men whom he would face. Antonio Bastardo received his fourteenth hold of the year as he pitched an inning and a third, giving up a run on four hits, while striking out two. Jonathan Papelbon blew his first save opportunity of the season before getting the win (2-2, 2.83) as he pitched an inning, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk, while he struck out two. James Shields also received a no-decision as he went five innings, giving up five runs on seven hits and a walk, while striking out seven. J.P. Howell pitched a scoreless inning. Brandon Gomes pitched an inning, giving up an unearned run on a hit. Jake McGee took the lost (2-2, 1.88) as he pitched an inning, plus one batter, giving up a run on a hit.
The Phils had nine hits in the game, with Jimmy Rollins (Single, Home Runs, 2 RBIs), Juan Pierre (Single, Home Run, 3 RBIs) and Carlos Ruiz (Singles, RBI) all leading the team with two hits each. Ty Wigginton (Single), pinch hitter Mike Fontenot (Single) and pinch hitter Jim Thome (Home Run, RBI) had the other three Phils' hits. The Phils also had a walk and two stolen bases (Pierre (15 & 16)) in the game.
The Phils (34-38, 4th NL East) will continue their interleague game series with the Rays (38-32, 3rd AL East) with a day/night doubleheader, with the first game presently in progress.

Fireplaces that warm your home and wallet
Fireplaces rank among the top three features desired by new homeowners, according to the National Association of Home Builders, and it's easy to understand why — there's nothing quite like a fireplace to create the perfect ambience in a home. But your love affair with the fireplace would definitely cool if you knew how much of your energy dollars were going up in smoke.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the aesthetic appeal of a typical wood-burning fireplace with an open front is more than offset by its poor performance in terms of energy efficiency. A fireplace is only 10 percent efficient at converting wood to energy and delivering it to a room, and when it's operating, it actually increases the infiltration of cold air by creating a partial vacuum within the house. More surprising, convective (moving air) heat losses at the beginning and end of the burn are greater than the radiant heat provided by the fire.
The problems don't stop there. Most fireplaces are situated on exterior walls and are made up of large masses of masonry that are poor thermal insulators. As a result, they readily conduct inside heat outdoors. What's more, if you think a fireplace is a short-term solution to a power outage, you're wrong. A fireplace "can actually make your home colder than if you never built a fire in the first place," says Marni Rader, marketing director for Travis Industries, a Washington-based manufacturer of fireplaces, stoves and inserts.
All this is sure to send a chill down any fireplace owner's spine. Fortunately, there's good news for fireplace fans in the form of energy-efficient add-ons and improved models.
Upgrading existing fireplaces
Open fireplaces are designed to draw air from the room to send smoke and combustion gases up the chimney, but that air draw is what makes fireplaces inefficient — especially in the winter when they draw warm, conditioned air up the chimney and pull cold outside air into the room. Glass doors can slow the air draw (combustion air is provided by vents along the sides or bottom of the fireplace), but they also can reduce the amount of radiant heat provided to the room. As a result, they're limited in their ability to improve a fireplace's efficiency.
A better option is to install a fireplace insert, which is essentially a metal wood stove designed to fit into a conventional open fireplace. Inserts can be flush-mounted or extend onto the hearth, and they can burn wood, pellets or gas fuel. Best of all, thanks to an outer shell that circulates air, heating it and delivering it back to the room, they can make a significant difference in energy efficiency. "The average open 36-inch fireplace has about 400 cfm (cubic feet per minute) draw of air out of the house," Rader says. "Using a fireplace insert slows that air draw way down. It actually increases heating efficiency from 10 percent to 80 percent." Inserts must be certified by the EPA, which ensures their efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, the National Fire Protection Association requires that the insert be properly connected to the chimney's flue liner to prevent the buildup of creosote, which can be a fire hazard. A number of companies, including Regency, Jotul North America, Lennox, Rinnai, Quadra-Fire, Vermont Castings and Blaze King, make energy-efficient inserts.
Gas direct-vent inserts are extremely efficient because they use outside air for combustion, so no heat is drawn out of the home. Air intake and exhaust are provided by flexible metal tubes that run up the chimney. The tubes connect to the chimney cap to keep the two channels separate. Chad Hendrickson, product manager for Minnesota-based Heat & Glo, notes that direct-vent gas fireplace inserts have "a sealed combustion firebox, which provides superior heating efficiency while preventing spillage of combustion gases into the home. Add to these advantages the fact that chopping and hauling wood is (time-consuming), and you can see why they are growing in popularity."
New fireplace options
If you're planning to build a new fireplace, either in an existing home or a new one, there are several energy-efficient options, including traditional wood-burning units and direct-vent gas fireplaces, as well as cutting-edge developments like hydrogen-burning fireplaces.
If you long for a traditional wood-burning fireplace, consider an EPA-certified model, like the 7100 from Quadra-Fire. The 7100's efficient design includes an automatic combustion control system that provides maximum air at startup, and then automatically slows down the burn to a preset level after the fire is established.
This improves efficiency and extends burn time. It's paired with a massive firebox, so homeowners can burn a fire up to 16 hours with no poking, stoking or reloading. The air to the fire is supplied from the outside via a duct, which reduces negative pressure inside the home and prevents air infiltration through gaps in the building envelope. Because of its efficient design, the 7100 can heat a 3,500-square-foot home, via up to two remote heat-zone vents. This enables homeowners to change the fireplace from a zone heater to a whole-house heater by directing heat to other rooms, such as bedrooms or bathrooms. The Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series by Travis Industries offers the look of a traditional masonry-style fireplace combined with the efficiency of a wood stove. "All of our wood-burning products are EPA-rated, which means they meet stringent combustion efficiency standards," Rader says. "(The design) reduces the amount of fuel consumed and the amount of pollutants produced."
Another option is a heat-retaining soapstone fireplace, also known as a masonry heater. Widely used in Europe, these fireplaces have yet to find widespread acceptance in the United States, though sales have grown steadily. The efficiency of a soapstone fireplace, manufactured by companies such as Finland-based Tulikivi, is due to its ability to retain most of the thermal energy produced by a fire, instead of allowing it to escape up the chimney. The fireplace then radiates the heat evenly and steadily long after the fire has gone out.
The Tulikivi line includes radiant, energy-efficient soapstone fireplaces, bake ovens and cook stoves, available through U.S. distributors. Similarly, Biofire Kachelofen radiant-heat fireplaces, which are manufactured in Austria and available in the United States, offer a combustion efficiency in the 90 percent range, providing 12 hours of heat from one small fire that burns for about an hour, says Heinz Flurer, president of the company. The wood burns at a high temperature, resulting in a complete, environmentally friendly burn. The core of a Biofire Kachelofen consists of a refractory firebox and a network of refractory passageways that enable the fireplace to absorb the heat from the fire quickly and release it evenly during the next 12 hours. Each fireplace is individually engineered and designed to meet a chimney's draft capabilities and the homeowner's design requirements.
When it comes to choosing between traditional wood-burning and direct-vent gas fireplaces, the latter have several key advantages. They give off very few particulates, so in general they're more eco-friendly than wood-burning fireplaces. There's no need for a chimney to vent combustion byproducts, which means no heat loss up the stack. They're easy to use, since there's no need to buy, chop or stoke them with wood. There's also no need to scoop ashes, since these fireplaces produce none. They are fairly simple to install and inexpensive to operate, and they come in a number of styles and sizes. Direct-vent fireplaces are rated in BTUs per hour (1 BTU is defined as the amount of heat required to raise 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit). The Majestic Designer series of direct-vent gas fireplaces from Vermont Castings, for example, puts out between 30,000 and 38,000 BTUs per hour, which can efficiently heat an entire smaller home, or one or two spacious rooms. (The heat loss for a typical home ranges from 40,000 to 120,000 BTUs per hour, depending on the home's size and insulation, as well as the climate.) The company's Chateau series, which are reminiscent of open Rumford-style wood fireplaces, are rated at between 34,000 and 46,000 BTUs per hour.
Direct-vent gas fireplaces do not require a chimney to carry away combustion gases. Instead, they use outside air for combustion, and can vent relatively cool combustion gases either vertically (through the roof) or horizontally (through a wall) via piping and a specially designed termination cap, as well as up a standard chimney flue. Models are available for installation in just about any area of the home. The Infinity gas fireplace from Heat & Glo, for example, has a draft assist system that enables vent piping of up to 90 feet with up to eight elbows, so the fireplace can be installed in even the trickiest locations. The Soulstice model, meanwhile, is a compact unit, rated at 12,000 to 17,500 BTUs per hour, that's designed for installation in smaller rooms such as bedrooms. Another option for homeowners is Heatilator's FreshAir Fireplace, which operates in conjunction with a heat recovery ventilator to heat the home with fresh air while expelling stale air. It recovers more than 80 percent of the heat normally wasted through a fireplace's flue vent, Hendrickson notes, by transferring heat "from the exhaust gases to incoming fresh air, which can pick up another 100 degrees on its way to a home's living areas." Most direct-vent systems are easily controlled with either switches on the fireplace or via remote controls. Some can be set with automatic shutoff times, and some have more sophisticated management systems.
The dual challenge of improving fireplace energy efficiency while reducing pollution is on the front burner for industry experts, says Thomas Stroud, senior manager of codes and standards for the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association in Virginia. Upgrading fireplace efficiency should be on every homeowner's list of improvements as well. By being aware of your options and choosing wisely, you can ensure that your energy dollars aren't going up in smoke.

Call us:
Following a thorough electrical test, an electrical installation condition report Kentish Town will be produced following an inspection of any wiring in the property and the condition of switches, sockets and fuse boxes/switchgear.
The aim of an electrical installation condition report Kentish Town can be split into five main aims. The first being to make a note of the inspection results and any testing work that has been carried out to guarantee that the electrical system is 100 percent safe and ready to be used until the next inspection is carried out, especially after having any issues fixed. The second objective of an electrical installation condition report is to report any damage that has been found, thirdly followed by a rundown of any parts of the electrical installation that do not meet the standards set by the IET Wiring Regulations.
Furthermore, an electrical installation condition report Kentish Town aids in finding anything that may harm anyone that uses the electrical system in a property, such as any wiring or appliances that cause electric shocks or result in abnormally high temperatures during regular use. Finally, an electrical installation condition report Kentish Town provides a solid record that an inspection has been carried out and at what time the survey was conducted. This is highly useful for future inspections and for anyone who may purchase or let the property that wants evidence that the electrical system is safe to use.
Usually there are two types of electrical installation condition report, generally speaking on a domestic level there is a visual condition report and periodic inspection and testing reports. A visual condition report is merely a visual analysis of the electrical wiring and the associated componentry and switchgear. This is only suitable for installations that have been tested recently as it does not involve any physical testing of the hardware, it merely involves visual inspection which might not give a good indication of condition. The more thorough electrical installation condition report is the periodic inspection report. This report is typically the one that is recommended if the property has not been tested recently, as testing conducted by a registered electrician can identify any hidden damage that a visual inspection would not detect, thus ensuring the electrical system of the property is of sufficient quality and meets high standards for safety.

My research interests in mathematics education include gender and mathematics, professional development of mathematics teachers, including classroom coaching, and recently the development of algebraic thinking, in particular the ability to generalize, with colleague Dr. Ferdie Rivera. I have been conducting research on gender issues in mathematics since the late 70s and am currently co-editing a scholarly volume on International Perspectives on Gender and Mathematics. I have also been active in making issues of gender and math prominent within professional organizations in mathematics education and have directed several masters' theses on related topics. I direct a number of professional development grants in mathematics, the longest-running of which is the Santa Clara Valley Mathematics Project, one of the state-funded math projects across the state. My research on professional development includes one of the few studies extant on the effects of classroom coaching in mathematics. Recently Dr. Rivera and I completed a three-year longitudinal study of middle school students that focused on how they developed the ability to generalize patterning activities across the grades. We have a number of published papers that document that work.

The BioWare Social Network now offers downloads of a PC-only beta version 1.01 patch for Dragon Age II, the just-released role-playing sequel. The patch fixes save game issues on single-core machines, the game asking for non-existent drives, release control issues where some players were unable to unlock correctly, and a Steam-specific issue related to VO not playing after switching languages. That last fix is a pretty odd one to include in this beta patch, since there's a footnote saying: "Steam does not support BETA patches. Steam users will have to wait for the final non-BETA patch before they can take advantage of these fixes. We're working on it but, unfortunately, this will not occur in time for the weekend." There is also a typical warning that users are applying a beta patch at their own risk. The patch is mirrored on Gamer's Hell and Strategy Informer.

Last Saturday morning, I woke up feeling downright peaceful. Here it was, less than two weeks before Christmas and, because I had shopped early and planned carefully, I was coasting into a low-stress holiday.
The presents were purchased and wrapped. The tree was decorated. The cookies were baked. I had nothing left to do but relax and bask in this unfamiliar sense of calm.
So I decided to paint the living room.

The Trend Research Team of DHL Customer Solutions and Innovation has recently launched a new trend report, entitled Low-cost Sensor Technology to explore the current trend of devices being used in the consumer electronic industry entering the business world and also the logistics industry.
The potential for low-cost sensors in the logistics industry had previously been highlighted in our highly acclaimed Logistics Trend Radar – a dynamic, living document designed to help DHL and our customers derive new strategies and develop more powerful projects and innovations.
From Consumer Electronics to Business Applications
This report examines technical solutions from the consumer electronics area that are currently being transferred to business applications, particularly in the logistics industry. The reason for this shift is that these solutions are highly innovative and, with mass production, can be realized at very low cost.
An exciting example is the sensor from a Microsoft Kinect gaming console which is now being applied to volume measurement in logistics, helping to reduce the bottlenecks and delays caused by pallet scanning and weighing.
The corporate 'bring your own device' approach has been triggered by employees expecting work devices to provide the same functionality as their personally owned smartphones and tablets. These consumer electronic devices contain a high number of sensors that capture the environment – acceleration, position, light, language, and more. The logistics industry has recognized the potential of these sensors, particularly because of the cost savings of mass production. When multiple sensors must be supplied across a typically large logistics network, cost is a fundamental issue.
With low-cost sensor technology, DHL anticipates sharing many new benefits with customers – better network utilization with volume control, less CO2 at optimum loading, parking space monitoring in warehouses, integrity monitoring and documentation of damages… the list can go on and on!

Visiting scholar Dr. George Harinck of the Netherlands will present the address "Nicholas Steffens and Trans-Atlantic Relationships within the Reformed Church" on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 4 p.m. at Hope College in the Maas Center conference room.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Harinck is on campus as the Netherland-America Foundation (NAF) Visiting Research Professor at the college's Van Raalte Institute. He is conducting biographical research on the theologian Dr. Nicholas Martin Steffens (1839-1912), who taught at both Hope College and Western Theological Seminary in addition to serving churches locally and in Iowa.
Steffens was at Hope as professor of didactic and homiletic theology from 1884 until he joined the Presbyterian Church in 1894, and then at Western Seminary from 1903 to 1912. He also served pastorates at First, Zeeland, 1878-82; First, Holland, 1883-84; and First, Orange City, Iowa, 1898-1900. According to Harinck, he had substantial influence, was internationally oriented, and was a respected scholar, theologian and church leader.
The focus of Harinck's research, in general, is in the field of Dutch-American relations within the Reformed/Presbyterian tradition, and it was while doing that research that he gradually became interested in learning more about Nicholas Steffens. The Joint Archives of Holland has many of Steffens's papers; furthermore, Holland resident Dr. Eugene Heideman has been doing research on Steffens's theology.
Harinck is a professor of history at the Free University in Amsterdam and at the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Churches (liberated) at Kampen. He also serves as the director of two research institutes for the history of (Reformed) Protestantism, in Amsterdam and in Kampen.
Harinck has published extensively, including an article in the Princeton Seminary Bulletin (2007), "The Position of the Church as Institute in Society: A Comparison between Bonhoeffer and Kuyper," and many articles and books in Dutch. He has also served as one of the editors of the three-volume "Bibliografie van Nederlandse Protestantse Periodieken."
Harinck is the third NAF Visiting Research Professor at the Van Raalte Institute and has been at the college since July.
The Van Raalte Institute is located in the Theil Research Center at 9 E. 10th St. and specializes in scholarly research and writing on immigration and the contributions of the Dutch and their descendants in the United States. The institute is also dedicated to the study of the history of all the people who have comprised the community of Holland throughout its history.

in the latest volume they enter middle school if the changes in uniform and drawing means anything. And they are still 5 girls. No new girls join them thus their last year in elementary went by without them entering the tournament.
Now that the 1 year suspension of Subaru's basket ball team is over. I'm more excited to know what will he do.

Also in volume 8 the story ends with the formation of the 5th grader girls basketball team which includes Hinata's sister Kagetsu and some new characters. The 5th grader team is being coached by Aoi. Combined together they actually have the 10 members need to enter official competition, so I'm expecting that they might actually head into that direction eventually, as it seems that the story is setup that they might have a revenge match against Miyu aka Chibi Ribbon's team on an official match.
Volume 9 just came out a week ago so I don't know where it's heading, but from the short description on Amazon JP it looks like it's school trip story thus the season is still autumn so there's plenty of months left until the girls graduate, not to mention we have yet to see whether Tomoka is going to invite Subaru to watch stars again in winter for that constellation that she was too embarrassed to tell the name to Subaru (hint: it's actually quite easy to figure out what Tomoka was looking for, look up Pleiades on wiki).

nope, I just assume that because there's been a change in uniform but maybe that's because change of season? and also the art feels differ in the later volumes.
And if there is new girls why isn't there an illustration for them? I only get the see the 5 girls always.

The 5th graders aren't officially in the same team as Tomoka et al and Subara aren't training them, I'm just speculating that somewhere in the future they would join together just so that they would have the numbers to enter official competition, but even then I really doubt they would mix the two teams together as the story is so focused on the team work that is only possible with the original 5.

Then they won't be able to play in an official game and even if that part was already mentioned in the anime or vol 4. It still sad and pointless for me if they can't enter a game.
Spoiler for Is this the 5th grader?:

What? No legit Power Forward yet? But well, the team could use an undersized PF in Kagetsu. Or a real one in the French girl. I mean, European girls are more athletic, after all IMO.
Well, if they decide to make it Slam Dunk-style, i.e., if Subaru will have the 5th graders as bench-warmers as Shohoku did to their reserves, I honestly think it could potentially destroy the team's chemistry unless the core group of Tomoka would act Big Sister Mentors to their kouhais.
Nonetheless, it could still be a humbling experience for the 5th graders (especially Mimi) so they would learn to play as a team together with the core group and believing in their own people on the court.
My opinion on the 5th graders:
Mimi - Hmmm... She's like Tomoka, only probably better, and given her personality, she could thrive as a legit SG for Keishin. Saki and Maho are rather specialized in mid to long range shots, but at least Saki can play PG when Mokkan becomes too polite to give the ball to Maho whenever she wants it.
Natsuhi's twin sisters - They remind me of the Morris twins (Marcus and Markieff), so they could become the 1-2 combo among the reserves of Keishin. With that, and their Hot Blooded Personality, Subaru can use a variation of Confusion Fu against some of the tougher opponents they might face in tournament play. And oh dear boy, who doesn't love Confusion Fu?
Kagetsu - as mentioned above, a potential undersized PF. Man, we just can't have a Power Forward loli.
Misami - Hmmm... Good foil to Saki, she reminds me of Mitsui. Yes, THAT Mitsui. With her 3-point shots, she's one formidable force to reckon coming off the bench. And I'm the kind of guy who loves shooting from downtown. I would like to add, there's a reason why Allan Caidic is such a legend in Asia that even the powerhouse Chinese teams are afraid of the number 8 during the 90's.
So, anybody else thinks Subaru's team will go run-and-gun all the way?

Maho is the legit PF in the team. While she started off as a shooter due to the nature of the Girl vs Boy match, afterwards Subaru had retrained everyone into their proper position, thus turning Maho into a PF and had been teaching her plays under the ring and rebound skills. But Maho being Maho she's still striving to be able to shoot as well as Tomoka so she's unique in that when it comes to it she can draw back and land those medium range shots. The match against Chibi Ribbon actually shows Maho playing under the basket but sadly those got left on the chopping board for the anime.
It would be interesting to see how Aoi arranges the 5th graders into a team. And it looks like that the 5th graders already has another chance to play in the next volume (10).
Anyway the last couple of volumes (7,8) the author is slowly cementing everyone's position and wrote scenarios to show off their skills. Volume 7 is where Airi gets proper training as a centre from a person playing centre (her brother and Aoi), and volume 8 shows us Saki is now a fully capable PG in that not only she can set up the game but can score when needs to (compared to what happened against Chibi Ribbon). Unfortunately volume 9 the girls didn't get to play (just finished reading) so none of the girls got to show off (except Aoi and Subara whom played this time), but I suspect next volume is probably going to be Maho or Hinata's turn to "level up".

Oh, I see. It's probably because I was wishing for a PF at around the same height as Airi, but given that Airi's so absurdly big for her age that she's automatically the C, it has been kinda acceptable to me that Maho might be the legit PF of the core team after all.
And yeah, Maho was trained into shooting because it will make Subaru's 4-1 offense vs the boys team very effective. After all, if the opposing team tries to gang up on your only offensive threat, she could just pass the ball to anyone wide open for an uncontested shot.
Then, against Chibi Ribbon's team, Subaru would have to admit that the 2-3 Zone Defense applied by Suzuridani is such a pain to crack, but hey, they're the heroes, so they will find a way. Using a relatively simple yet awesome offensive playbook that pretty much brought down the 2-3 Zone because of its sheer unpredictability. Still, Maho's shooting abilities come into play on this game.
I think it was a good part for the author to determine what positions do all the girls play, at least the core group ATM.
Hmmm... I think they're a balanced team now. Balanced enough to go run-and-gun, that is.

Hopefully they can have more members on the team. The 5 can already play but they will exhaust themselves as the game goes on. I think it would still be the 5 girls unless Subaru can recruit more girls in joining the team for them to compete in a game + have resting time for the first 5.
I think they need a PF who's a little taller than Saki or as tall as Airi. I can only hope so. Maho is undersized for the PF and she is also the 2nd option for offense for the team. Maho must learn how to be a good rebounder and learn to play in the post. She can shoot so it's not a problem.
Saki as PG is good enough. She just needs to practice more on her jump shots and must be able to drive inside and pass to an open teammate. She'll be a good teammate if that happens.
Hinata must concentrate on defense, where she can excel. On offense, she must be able to drive inside and kick out for a pass or be able to shoot when bailed out or sneak past the defenders if possible. I think she needs to shine this time.
Airi must be a force under the basket since her height is her might. She must also be able to get rebounds.

apparently the one who handles the 5th grade is Aoi and Subaru is still centered on coaching the 6th graders.
Thanks for the info of the novel. I wish it will be translated someday.
And if by each book the girls are being trained and level up. I wish they will start doing the tournament after the training. It might be good for the girls to train but I still don't see much meaning if they can't play in an official game.

That said, who would be the Sixth Man of the Team? Mimi or Kagetsu?
