Holmes jury ends fourth inconclusive day of deliberations
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The jury weighing fraud charges against former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes conducted a fourth day of deliberations Monday without reaching a verdict. Holmes is facing 11 criminal charges alleging that she duped investors and patients by hailing her company's blood-testing technology as a medical breakthrough when in fact it was prone to wild errors.
The eight men and four women on the jury have been meeting in a San Jose, California, federal courthouse after absorbing reams of evidence during a high-profile trial that has captivated Silicon Valley.
Last week, the jurors sent out two notes to U.S. District Judge Edward Davila -- one making a swiftly rejected request to take their instructions home with them for further study and another that that allowed them a replay of a 2013 recording of Holmes discussing Theranos' dealings with prospective investors.
The jury completed Monday's session without providing any clues as to how far along it is in its deliberations. Jurors are scheduled to resume their discussion Tuesday morning.
The case has attracted worldwide attention. At its core is the rise and fall of Holmes, who started Theranos as a 19-year-old college dropout and then went on to break through Silicon Valley's male-dominated culture with her bold claims and fundraising savvy. She become a billionaire on paper before it all evaporated amid allegations she was more of a charlatan than an entrepreneur.
Holmes, now 37, spent seven days on the witness stand acknowledging she made some mistakes and decisions she regretted while staunchly maintaining that she never stopped believing Theranos was on the verge of revolutionizing health care.
Holmes spent years promising Theranos would be able to scan for hundreds of diseases and other health problems with just a few drops of blood taken with a finger prick instead of relying on vials of blood drawn from a vein.
It was such a compelling concept that Theranos raised more than $900 million and struck partnerships with major retailers Walgreens and Safeway. Holmes herself became the subject of cover stories on business magazines.
But unknown to most people outside Theranos, the company's blood-testing technology was flawed, often producing inaccurate results that could have endangered the lives of patients.
After the flaws were exposed in 2015 and 2016, Theranos eventually collapsed and the Justice Department filed a criminal case in 2018 that charged Holmes with 11 felony counts of fraud and conspiracy.
If convicted, Holmes could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

It is thought that a stochastic background of gravitational waves was produced during the formation of the universe. A great deal could be learned by measuring this Cosmic Gravitational-wave Background (CGB), but detecting theCGB presents a significant technological challenge. The signal strength is expected to be extremely weak, and there will be competition from unresolved astrophysical foregrounds such as white dwarf binaries. Our goal is to identify the most promising approach to detect the CGB. We study the sensitivities that can be reached using both individual, and cross-correlated pairs of space based interferometers. Our main result is a general, coordinate free formalism for calculating the detector response that applies to arbitrary detector configurations. We use this general formalism to identify somepromising designs for a GrAvitational Background Interferometer (GABI) mission.Our conclusion is that detecting the CGB is not out of reach.

TimeShift, the science-bothering blaster that lets you play fast and loose with the laws of time, has now been confirmed for PlayStation 3, joining the PC and 360 versions we've already seen.
In addition, we've sifted the Internet for fact nuggets, and come up with a beauty - TimeShift's superpowers will make the leap from singleplayer to multiplayer, with the help of special Chronos Grenades.
These physics-bending gadgets will come in two flavors. Reverse grenades have the potential to send missiles straight back the way they came, while there'll also be what sounds like a Halo 3 bubble shield type, creating an area of effect around the detonated grenade that stops anything passing through. We're hoping the visual effect will be along the lines of the awesome personal shields used by the Atreides soldiers in the 80s Dune movie.
Eyes on ourPlayStation 3 gallery, then, for the first Sony-based shots - which look all but identical to those in ourXbox 360 gallery. That's a good thing, by the way.

Final Fantasy XIII: First Gloss
By taylor
Final Fantasy XIII found its way into my paws when it hit stores Tuesday, but woefully it didn't have a chance to find its way into my 360 until yesterday. Seeing as how it will take me an estimated 45 hours to complete the game in a pretty straightforward play-through, I think I'll offer a few first impressions. My proper review will probably be around the 20 hour mark. That's a lot of my life, 20 hours.
Here are 5 things I think about it so far! Note- I am an approximate 2 hours in. Also, thanks be to my girlfriend who played for me for a while because I was whining about thinking I had carpal tunnel.
1. Final Fantasy XIII hits you in the face with combat! Ouch! I keep hearing things about how this game, more than any in the series, doles out a lot of combat. And Square Enix makes that crystal clear immediately. You're thrown into a dystopic industrial world with all of these assholes you don't care about yet and you're immediately fending off wave after wave of beautifully animated cyber-kitties. That sounds more like porn than I intended. Let's call them mechano-tigers instead, eh?
2. Oh my god, is Final Fantasy XIII GORGEOUS. Final Fantasy XII hit stores 4 years ago, so the developers obviously chained themselves to their computers for the entirety of the last 4 years to make this game so beautiful. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck inside the kind of claustrophobic, industrial starting area, so I can't wait to see what a lush, less inorganic area might look like. Also, no moogles yet (#mooglewatch).
3. "Vanille, " the requisite young waifish character, is SO irritating! And what's with her ever-shifting pseudo-Australian accent. Actually, she kind of sounds like a shrill, drunk New Zealander who has trouble using her "inside voice." Of course, Vanille is in the grand tradition of young, giggly waifs in Final Fantasy games. Like Selphie (is that a name?) and Yuffie. You can spot the annoying-as-fuck character because their name apparently will end in an "eeee" sound. Like the eeee sound when I scream "SHOOT MEEEEE" every time she's on screen.
4. Um, I don't want to shop at a goddamn vending machine. No really (maybe I'm still having Bioshock 2 hack flashbacks). Final Fantasy XIII apparently does away with the concept of the RPG town altogether: there are no cities to explore in the usual sense, and instead of quaint little vendors in hovels selling you things that are weirdly translated from the Japanese, you get to walk up to a futuristic little ball and press a button to buy stuff. I DON'T WANT TO SHOP AT THE TINY BALL, even if one of the virtual shops is called something that sounds like Urban Outfitters and that's kind of funny. I want a shanty and my weirdly translated dialogue back!
5. I am trying to keep an open mind BUT I AM SO WORRIED. Sidequests and open-world exploration on a huge map are my two favorite parts of the Final Fantasy series. Aside from moogles. Those are separate. But Final Fantasy XIII demolished those features in favor of focusing on the combat system. And I am very heartbroken, even though I knew this. I will vow to remain quasi-unbiased about this (that's not much of a vow, is it?), but we'll see what happens. I hear the game opens up around the 17 hour mark. No, I'm not kidding. I hate to play FOR SEVENTEEN HOURS to see if I'm still let down. But I would do that for you. And for myself. Or to myself?
And that's my First Gloss of Final Fantasy XIII. I'll be back with some less stubbornly biased and more informed opinions soon! Not 15 hours from now. I don't have that kind of stamina. And this is requiring way too much math. I quit.

I just got the game yesterday and i'm not as impressed by it just yet. I thought FF8 and 10 were great…but we'll see. I'm sure I'll play it all the way through either way 😉
Got this game tuesday and i'm totally impressed by it i'm 35 hrs in in just 3 days is how awesome it is beautiful awesome combat idk why people thought it sucked…
i'm super jealous…i want this game very badly…but alas, i must wait for my next paycheck..grrr
John Moon
" I DON'T WANT TO SHOP AT THE TINY BALL " LOL!!
I will be playing this once my friend has finished playing so I can steal his copy.
I know that a lot has been made about XIII's linearity and lack of open-world exploration, but my friend and I are both of the opinion that now it's that mmorpgs that are all about the free roaming non-linearity, and it will be really nice to return to enjoying an rpg just for the way it plays.
Anyway I am looking forward to all this paradigm shift malarky.
This game has eaten my girlfriend and her sister alive. Me and Li'l Sis's boyfriend have just been playing World of Warcraft and commiserating, lol.
(Also is it just me or is that main chick TOTALLY a lesbian?)
Oh man! I kind of secretly hope this game is a let down because I never stepped into this generation of consoles, but I haven't missed a Final Fantasy game since VII. I probably wont be able to play this one until the next generation happens and I can buy a PS3 for $2 at Cash Converters.
I guess I'll just be living vicariously through your posts until then!
I personally think all the women in FFXIII are gay, lol!! I've already been keeping an eye on this ever since it first came out in Japan. It's such a pity that I don't own a PS3 or Xbox 360, I would've loved to play this game.
confession time, I have never played any Final Fantasy game nor have I ever tried to understand them. The combat system seems to take forever hit points and all that jazz.
In FF13 I totally thought Fang was the obvious lesbian character then at one point she goes "my partner and I woke up"-uhh yeah she's gay!…but then then that was followed with *story line spoil* Vanille being her "partner" :l unless they are gay together
Briann
ff13 is a good game. no doubt about that. but i just dont think it can compete with classics like ff10 ir 8. it is just too much of a movie in my opinion

Glaucoma is an eye disease where the fluid necessary for nourishing our eyes does not drain properly through the anterior chamber, the space between the cornea and iris, causing an increase in eye pressure and damage to the optic nerve. Much like a cable connected to your tv, the optic nerve is a "cable" of nerve fibers that sends images from the eyes to the brain.
anterior chamber: The fluid-filled space between your cornea and iris.
optic nerve: A nerve at the back of your eye that sends the images you see to your brain.
Glaucoma has few or no early symptoms and causes irreversible vision loss. As much as 40 percent of vision can be lost before you notice significant changes in your sight.1 Damage to the optic nerve gradually causes blind spots and affects peripheral vision (side vision) which can often go unnoticed. By the time you notice changes in your vision, the disease has already progressed.
African American or Hispanic Ancestry: Open-angle glaucoma is five times more likely among African Americans and Hispanics compared to Caucasians. African Americans are susceptible at a younger age and the disease has a more rapid course.
Elevated Eye Pressure: The higher the intraocular pressure (IOP), the more likely a person is to develop this disease.
Thin Corneas: Past studies have shown people with a thinner central corneal thickness are more likely to develop open-angle glaucoma.
Refractive Error: People who are farsighted or nearsighted may have an increased risk.
Health History: Conditions such as diabetes, migraines, poor blood circulation, and uncontrolled blood pressure may contribute to glaucoma.
Since there is no cure for glaucoma and vision loss cannot be regained, prevention through regular eye exams is the best defense against the silent thief of sight. A comprehensive vision exam is the only way to detect the disease since there are virtually no symptoms or pain associated with the early onset of the most common form of the disease.
"Like other health screenings such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, your eye pressure needs to be checked periodically as well," says Dr. Shawn Parker, the corneal and refractive specialist for Eye Care Specialists.
Age 20-29: You should have an eye exam at least once during this period. If you are African American or have a family history you should have an eye exam every 3-5 years.
Age 30-39: You should have an eye exam at least twice during this period. If you are African American or have a family history, you should have an eye exam every 2-4 years.
Age 40-64: Every 2-4 years.
Age 65 or older: Every 1-2 years.
The earlier glaucoma is detected, the more vision will be preserved. The National Eye Institute projects that by 2030, 4.2 million people in the United States will have glaucoma.6 For healthy vision, know your family history, have recommended eye exams, and help raise awareness for this vision-threatening disease.
Your eyes constantly create fluid that helps nourish your eye. Glaucoma occurs when this fluid does not circulate properly and cannot exit the anterior chamber, the front portion of your eye. When this happens a chain reaction occurs: Fluid builds up in the eye, eye pressure increases, high eye pressure damages the optic nerve.
aqueous humor: A clear fluid that circulates through the anterior chamber providing nourishment and giving your eye its shape.
drainage angle: The area of your eye, where the cornea and iris meet, that allows aqueous humor to drain from the anterior chamber.
intraocular pressure (IOP): The fluid pressure inside your eye.
trabecular meshwork: An area of cells in the drainage angle responsible for regulating the flow of aqueous humor through the anterior chamber.
In the healthy eye, a clear fluid called aqueous humor flows through the anterior chamber, the front portion of your eye between the cornea (the clear front dome of your eye) and iris (the colored part of your eye). Differing from your tears, which lubricate the outside of the eye, aqueous humor delivers sugars, proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients to nourish the inside of your eye.
To circulate properly, aqueous humor should drain out of the eye through the drainage angle, the area where the cornea and iris meet, at an equal rate as the production of fluid. The trabecular meshwork is a sponge-like area of cells located in the drainage angle. The purpose of the trabecular meshwork is to regulate the flow of fluid to control the pressure in your eye, called intraocular pressure (IOP).
With glaucoma, the aqueous humor fluid does not flow through the trabecular meshwork properly. Over time, this fluid builds up in the anterior chamber increasing eye pressure. High pressure causes damage to the optic nerve resulting in gradual vision loss.
Glaucoma develops when the balance between the production and drainage of fluid is not regulated properly. Fluid pressure builds up inside the eye damaging the optic nerve and causing gradual and permanent vision loss. The reason aqueous humor cannot flow through the drainage angle efficiently depends on whether you have open-angle or closed-angle glaucoma.
Most people with open-angle glaucoma have no symptoms and no early warning signs but if not diagnosed and treated, the condition can cause blindness.
Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma in the United States. The "open-angle" indicates there are no clear signs of blockage in the drainage angle but aqueous humor is not flowing properly through the trabecular meshwork. When fluid is not draining at a sufficient pace, it is accumulating inside your eye increasing your eye pressure (IOP) and slowly damaging the optic nerve. If your IOP is not controlled, you will gradually lose vision, typically starting with your peripheral vision.
Normal-tension glaucoma, also called low-tension or normal-pressure glaucoma, is a type of open-angle glaucoma where the optic nerve is damaged even though the eye pressure is within the "normal range" of less than 21 mm Hg.
If you have closed-angle glaucoma it is best to avoid over-the-counter decongestants and medications that specify on the label not to use if you have glaucoma.
Also known as acute or narrow-angle glaucoma, closed-angle glaucoma is less common and occurs when the iris partially or completely blocks the drainage angle of your eye. Unlike open-angle glaucoma where eye pressure increases gradually, eye pressure rises very quickly with this form. A closed-angle glaucoma acute attack occurs when the drainage angle becomes completely blocked and eye pressure gets too high requiring immediate medical attention.
Open-angle glaucoma does not present any symptoms until the disease is quite advanced. You may notice blind spots in your vision or reduced peripheral vision.
A glaucoma attack is a medical emergency and should be treated immediately.
Tonometry: This test measures inner eye pressure, your IOP. The measurement may be taken without touching the eye with what is often referred to as the "air puff test," or with a probe called a tonopen that gently flattens the cornea to measure your IOP. Normal eye pressure generally ranges between 10 and 21 mm Hg.
Ophthalmoscopy: A drop enlarges or "dilates" your pupils allowing your eye doctor to see the shape and color of the optic nerve through an ophthalmoscope.
Perimetry: A visual field machine checks for blank spots in your field of vision by mapping your response to a moving light.
Gonioscopy: A mirrored lens allows your doctor to see the drainage angle between your iris and cornea to determine if it is open or closed.
Pachymetry: A probe measures the thickness of your cornea.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) If your doctor suspects glaucoma, he or she may take high resolution pictures of the optic nerve using OCT. Much like an ultrasound uses sound waves for imaging, an OCT uses light waves to take three-dimensional images of your optic nerve.
Your doctor may treat your glaucoma through prescription eye drops. These medications control your eye pressure by either reducing the amount of aqueous humor your eye produces or by improving the flow through the trabecular meshwork.
Some patients may not tolerate the prescription medications or may opt to lessen their dependence on daily drops with selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). This in-office procedure using laser therapy makes tiny burns in the trabecular meshwork to stimulate more efficient flow of aqueous fluid through the drainage angle.
Laser iridotomy treats closed-angle glaucoma by creating a small hole, about the size of a pinhole, in the top of the iris. This creates a new passageway to improve the flow of aqueous fluid through the drainage angle. Your ophthalmologist can often perform this procedure in the office.
For more complicated forms of glaucoma, your surgeon may implant a drainage device. He or she stitches the implant on the outside of the sclera, the white part of your eye, where it serves as an artificial drainage device. The eye channels fluid to the implant where the fluid can absorb into the body instead of building up in the eye. Your ophthalmologist performs this procedure in an operating room.
Currently, 120,000 Americans are blind from the "silent thief of sight." Although there is no cure, the earlier the glaucoma is detected, the more vision will be saved.
"Your life changes as you get older and some of your favorite activities become visual such as reading, vision-dependent hobbies, and watching tv. It's very important to get screened, treated, and follow up to monitor progression. Early detection and treatment is key to preserving your vision!" says Dr. Parker.
Even if you are seeing clearly and do not need contacts or glasses, you still need to be screened for your overall eye health!

PBOT set to 'reorganize' NW Everett, add buffered bike lane
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on May 16th, 2014 at 10:37 am
PBOT's latest plans for a new buffered bike lane
on NW Everett.
(Image from a slide in PBOT presentation)
The Portland Bureau of Transportation plans to move forward with what their NW Everett Street Reorganization Project. The project, which we first highlighted back in January, aims to improve traffic conditions on Everett from NW 23rd to NW 15th. Impetus for the changes come from a planned re-paving project and a desire by PBOT to address safety concerns at the intersection of NW 16th and Everett.
The right-turn conflicts where Everett meets the I-405 freeway on-ramp at 16th have been a thorn in PBOT's side for years. Collision statistics show a high rate of right-hooks and PBOT project manager Andrew Sullivan referred to the intersection as chaotic during a meeting of the City's Bicycle Advisory Committee in January. At that meeting, the committee supported a solution that would move the bike lane from the right to the left side of the street. In the following months, PBOT has refined their plans and they presented them to the Northwest District Association (NWDA) at a meeting on May 7th.
According to PBOT's presentation shared at that meeting, the current plan is to reconfigure the lanes on NW Everett between 23rd and 19th (an area that has just been repaved, which makes new lane striping much cheaper). In that section, they'll turn one of the two existing standard lanes into a 10-foot wide bicycle-only lane (seven-foot riding lane with a three-foot buffer) adjacent to an on-street auto parking lane…
From 19th to 15th, PBOT will put keep the two standard lanes and put the existing right-side bike lane on the left side of the street. The new bike lane will be seven-feet wide (it won't have a buffer) and it will be adjacent to an on-street auto parking lane. (PBOT will remove the existing bike box at 16th.)
Between 16th and 15th (over I-405), PBOT has designed a mixed zone where people on bikes and cars will share the left-turn lane onto 15th. To facilitate the transition from bike-only lane to shared-lane, PBOT will install green markings followed by sharrows…
An alternate view via the official PBOT plan drawing…
An added bonus of having bicycle traffic on the left side of the street is that it makes for an easier connection to NW Flanders, a street PBOT still hopes to make into a bicycle boulevard (despite the failed attempt to install a bicycling/walking-only bridge on Flanders over I-405 back in May 2008).
East of 15th, there is no more dedicated cycling space on Everett. This is by design, as another aspect of this proposal for Everett is to do a similar treatment on Glisan, and making both streets funnel into Flanders. Check out the "Everett/Glisan + Flanders Concept" PBOT shared with the neighborhood…
Jonathan Winslow is co-chair of the NWDA's Transportation Committee. He said they supported the new design. "I wanted to see a cycle track arrangement," he shared with us via email after the meeting, "but there was pushback over loss of parking and more legitimately over poor visibility of bikes at many driveway crossings."
PBOT expects these changes to Everett to have several key impacts: better bicycling connectivity from NW 23rd over I-405; safer crossings of Everett; a reduction in speeds and collisions; and longer wait times coupled with slightly increased auto congestion at signalized intersections. The new configuration also comes with the loss of up to four auto parking spaces on Everett west of 18th.
Work on the project is set to start any day now. Questions and feedback about these changes can be directed to PBOT Project Manager Andrew Sullivan at (503) 823-5234 or andrew.sullivan@portlandoregon.gov.

Great news. I was wondering why the restriping of the newly paved portion of NW Everett was in slo-go mode. This will make my return trip from Salt & Straw on NW 23rd that much easier.

Two things about Americans you might not know:
1. Americans HATE inconvenience.
2. Americans LOVE comfort food.
When these two meet up amazing things happen.
pixelgate May 16, 2014 at 1:14 pm
Er.. what's convenient about waiting in line for 30 minutes?
spare_wheel May 16, 2014 at 10:52 am
that bike box was one of the worst in portland. i'm very glad to see that it's going to be removed. overall, it looks like an incremental improvement of a downtown gap.
i see cars cutting cyclists off at other mixing zones far too often. maybe a flashing yield for bikes sign would help with this.
RH May 16, 2014 at 10:53 am
Wow, this looks great. I would use this route everyday instead of wiggling my way down to Overton to cross the Broadway to get to NoPo. Makes the opposite commute nice to when I visit NW.
JL May 16, 2014 at 10:55 am
"On your left."
Carl May 16, 2014 at 11:12 am
Ha! That intersection (16th & Everett) was the site of my very first right hook, less than a month after first moving to Portland. Ah, the memories.
Paul Souders May 16, 2014 at 11:25 am
This is long overdue. I've been riding through 16th/Everett for decades and started taking the lane there long ago. I think the bike box made it even skeezier for some reason.
In fact it was commuting along Everett that probably hardened my ability to take the lane and mix with cars, it's so easy to move their speed or faster here. So the Flanders plan would have to come with some changes to stop signs and signals to make it enticing to eastbound bikes.
wouldn't it be cool if the entire Pearl (and maybe downtown too) had the Woonerfish-type mode mixing you see e.g. along 13th ave, everyone just slow down and chill out a little.
Reza May 16, 2014 at 11:34 am
If you're trying to get anywhere in a hurry, Flanders is a poor substitute. They are not going to turn (or remove) stop signs in a dense downtown area. The best you can hope for are new signals at 14th, Broadway, and Naito.
John Lascurettes May 16, 2014 at 12:07 pm
Or just take the full lane on Everett after 16th and continue on your speed-of-traffic way.
Reza May 16, 2014 at 12:13 pm
That's why I said it's a "poor substitute". I take the lane on Everett and Glisan now, but many riders are not willing to do this and would prefer a calmer route at the expense of speed.
Bike Commuter May 16, 2014 at 12:46 pm
I ride Glisan from 4th to 14th going to work every day. I will never move to Flanders unless they do something about all the stop signs. How can anyone in PBOT think that putting bicyclists on streets that have a stop sign every block is good? Not only that, you have to cross some very busy streets with no help. If they are going to do this then they need to turn most of the stop signs and put up lights at 14th, 11th, 10th, and Broadway so that it is possible. I don't see that happening. I agree with the changes from 23th through 16th but after than I am going to stay on Everett and I am going to continue to take the lane on Glisan.
Reza May 16, 2014 at 1:01 pm
In such a dense area, pedestrian safety takes priority over bicycle convenience. People forget that turning the stop signs means that inevitably drivers catch on and start taking advantage unless you put up diverters everywhere.
No stop signs are going to be turned on Flanders. Stay on Everett and Glisan.
Terry D May 17, 2014 at 9:10 pm
Not if it was combined with lots of diversion…every other block at least. That, however, would require PBOT to invest in a green wave of bike lights and intersection redesigns.
Niall May 16, 2014 at 1:22 pm
Used that bike lane once before realizing riding the left hand lane was the much wiser way to go, this was an example of adding a bike lane and box that made things more dangerous. Anyone can keep up with car speed on that downhill.
Fantastic. Now continue this to the waterfront.

I don't commute down Everett regularly now, but I did from 2000-2003, IIRC going back to before the bike box was installed. That was always a really awful intersection for right hooks. Fortunately I never got hit, but it really taught me more about when to watch for them, and taught me about how drivers behave when they're near freeway on and off ramps. Glad to see this change.
Like Reza I have some concern about Flanders becoming the preferred bike route, unless they're going to do something about the stop signs. I don't exactly find the trip down Everett from 14th and Broadway to be pleasant, but it IS fast.
Blake May 16, 2014 at 12:07 pm
If the new striping on Everett goes in and directs more traffic onto Flanders, would there be a way to connect onto the Waterfront Park & lower deck of the Steel bridge?
Talk to UP and ODOT about that.
Chris I May 16, 2014 at 1:06 pm
Uncle Pete doesn't care what you think.
A world-class solution would be to construct a ped/bike flyover of Naito. Heading east on Flanders, you would cross 1st Ave and the Naito ramp, and then gain about 10ft to clear Naito itself. The bridge would turn north and then dive down under the Steel Bridge northbound ramp to meet the waterfront path just west of the steel bridge path. This, coupled with a counter-flow eastbound bike lane on Flanders (remove the south side curb parking for two blocks) between 3rd and 1st would create an amazing east/west route downtown.
Blake May 16, 2014 at 1:21 pm
I like the idea of a flyover, and the reason I ask specifically is because I have been working on getting improvements on N Interstate south of the ramp that goes to the Broadway bridge (http://bikeportland.org/2014/01/10/citizen-activists-work-to-fix-narrow-bike-lanes-on-interstate-ave-99687) which is a key feeder to Steel Bridge traffic into downtown and this would become a more in demand route if there were a better connection from the Steel Bridge into NW.
BIKELEPTIC May 16, 2014 at 1:01 pm
PBOT better hurry and just do the work, not talk too much about it or the businesses might band together right near there and block any improvements for bike design.
Oliver May 16, 2014 at 4:02 pm
Not to mention that the process never felt adequately inclusive to the hippies and artists displaced by the gentrification of NW when our families were forced out by developers and all the new businesses looking to make a buck from the yuppies.
Why is there no consistency with how biking is planned for this city? Williams/Vancouver is completely different than Moody. Moody has you go across several streetcar tracks on the same side of the street one way, and change course coming the other. The signing for people on moody is hard to see under many conditions (which probably scares the crap out of any pedestrians on that side of the street.)
This city is such an inconsistent mess with its bike planning. I hate to say it, but the Feds maybe need to smack some rules down on PBOT/ODOT here so we don't stick out like a sore thumb?
Try an imagine what someone new to Portland would think of all our various hacks with bike infrastructure!
Psyfalcon May 16, 2014 at 4:29 pm
We're still in that experimentation stage.
Sometimes it sucks to be a guinea pig, but its better than the alternative of doing nothing, or not finding out what works best.
paikiala May 16, 2014 at 4:31 pm
Street car is desired on Vancouver/Williams as well.
Maybe different solutions are used in different places because they don't operate the same, or are different ages – south waterfront is brand new, north portland is not.
Ryan Francesconi May 16, 2014 at 1:42 pm
is a bike lane also being installed on Glisan between 15 and 23rd? it looks like that from the graphics, but you didn't mention it. that would be very needed. even more so than everett in my opinion. getting through the NW is a pain in the ass, this'll help a little, but it'll still be slow.
Fourknees May 16, 2014 at 2:26 pm
I agree. The Everett changes will be nice. I ride this entire stretch in the morning to work. Many of those intersections from 16-19th especially get compounded with the distraction of sun glare at certain times of the year. I've never found Everett to be that bad as it's slightly down hill and even a casual pace keeps pace with traffic. The intersection at 16 can be tricky if you don't ride anticipating a right hook.
I also hope they make the changes to glisan soon as well.
Buzz Aldrin May 16, 2014 at 2:05 pm
all they really needed to do is remove the stormwater swale on the SW corner of NW Everett at 16th and put a dedicated right turn only lane to the right of the bike lane, just like at SE Madison and Grand.
I think that left lane merge between 16th and 14th is going to be just as problematic as the current right hook problem at Everett and 16th.
Champs May 16, 2014 at 2:07 pm
Just like I said in the previous article about Everett, the left-side bike lane was a fait accompli.
At least this followup (re-)acknowledges that the real fix is a continuous Flanders greenway with a bridge over I405—not climate-controlled, cancer-curing cycle track.
AndyC of Linnton May 16, 2014 at 2:24 pm
This is cool, but Flanders? Don't ever think I've thought about taking that, though, and will probably just continue down Everett on the left side now I guess.
Rick May 16, 2014 at 3:18 pm
The Everett bike box has worked, and would work, if drivers didn't treat it as a car box.
spare_wheel May 17, 2014 at 4:40 pm
this was one of the bike boxes that pbot found to be associated with increased conflict.
What I see in this design is a complete caving to automobile dominance.
No cycletrack because that would mean people couldn't store their cars on the public right of way. So instead we get another door zone bike lane.
And no bike box.
Then we get funneled into a "mixed zone," before being removed to the next street over.
Yay for going backwards.
Did you even read the post? This bicycle lane is TEN feet wide (7′ bike lane + 3′ buffer). Are you saying you can't avoid opening doors with this generous clearance? And they're passenger doors too, so the risk of encountering an opening door is lower than a right-hand lane. In fact, the bigger concern is that the lane is so wide that drivers will ignore the bike lane signage and markings and continue to drive on it with impunity.
And there's no reason you can't have a cycle track that preserves on-street parking. After all, that's pretty much what parts of SW Broadway and parts of NE Multnomah have currently.
My mistake, I see you were talking about the section east of 19th. If you feel uncomfortable riding that, you're welcome to take the left lane as many people here do already.
You should run for office on that platform.
Buzz May 17, 2014 at 12:09 am
I will continue to take whichever lane is appropriate at the time and continue down the hill on Everett, although I do like Flanders as a connection to 3rd east of NW B'way…
dwainedibbly May 16, 2014 at 3:39 pm
Just the other day we were depressed & whining about our infrastructure momentum going all to hell, then this comes out. Thanks, PBOT.
I wonder if a chunk of the old Sellwood Bridge could be turned into a Flanders Bike/Ped bridge, once the new one is finished. (The 2008 plan was to use a piece of an old bridge, wasn't it?) Take a length of the steel structure (without the current deck) and put a new deck on it. If we did that, maybe we could toll it for bikes from Clackamas county.
GlowBoy May 16, 2014 at 9:22 pm
The plan was, indeed, to reuse the old Sauvie Island Bridge.
Van August 25, 2014 at 5:48 am
Terrible terrible idea. I was stuck behind 10 blocks of one lane traffic today… on a Sunday. Imagine what rush hour is going to be like when that right lane was already backed up. They've killed through traffic through NW. Why not put the lane through one of the side streets? Now, cars have to go through Burnside, which is already bad (imagine what it will be like now) or go all the way north to First/Naito. I'm just not even imagining why this was a good plan for moving people. If they want to ban cars in NW, just ban then and make a transit in the area free.

Chelsea's 34-player squad: Keep, sell or loan
Donna Miller
Chelsea's squad is bloated.
Very, very, very bloated.
So in order to help the club combat that issues, we at 90min decided to take a look through the entire Chelsea squad to see who the club should keep, loan out, and sell.
Chelsea, you're welcome.
Marcus Bettinelli – Helps the homegrown quota. Might as well keep him.
Thiago Silva – Even at 38 years old he's still unquestionably the best defender at the club.
Reece James – When fit, Reece James is the best player at the club. He's the man to build around long term.
Marc Cucurella – Not the greatest Chelsea career to date, but Chelsea spent a lot on him and he might still come good (might).
Daniel Childs reacts to Chelsea's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. If you can't see this embed, click here to listen to the podcast!
Ben Chilwell – The tandem of Chilwell and James in opposite wing-back roles is a fun one…provided they can both stay fit.
Wesley Fofana – Young, talented, but usually injured. Fofana can be a very good player whenever he's finally firing on all cylinders again.
Benoit Badiashile – The new signing made his debut in the win over Crystal Palace and he certainly impressed.
N'Golo Kante – Injured a lot in recent seasons and currently not worth what Chelsea are paying him, but if they can renogiatate some more club-friendly terms in his new contract then they might as well keep hold of the World Cup winner.
Mateo Kovacic – At times he's been one of Chelsea's better players. He needs to do it more consistently though.
Mason Mount – Chelsea through and through, obviously they keep Mount.
Kai Havertz – He's not a striker. He's an attacking midfielder. And he's a good one.
Carney Chukwuemeka – 19-years-old and already getting some game time which is a good sign.
Lewis Hall – Has enjoyed a few starts recently at LWB. Graham Potter seems to rate him.
Mykhaylo Mudryk – The £100m man signed an eight-and-a-half year deal.
Raheem Sterling – There's been some murmurings around Sterling's Chelsea future recently. They probably shouldn't let him go, he's still a top player when he's in-form.
Joao Felix – There's no option to buy the Portuguese attacker in the summer, we're guessing quite a few Chelsea fans wish there was though.
Denis Zakaria – Currently on loan from Juventus and currently impressing in the Chelsea midfield. A solid squad option.
Gabriel Slonina – The 18-year-old needs senior football in the next few seasons, likely elsewhere, in order to hit the heights he's expected to.
Bashir Humphreys – Recently made his Chelsea debut and would benefit from more football elsewhere to learn his trade before returning in the summer.
Conor Gallagher – Let's call a spade a spade here: Conor Gallagher hasn't been very good this season. Time to ship out on loan to another Premier League team to hopefully rekindle some of that magic he showed at Crystal Palace.
Omari Hutchinson – Chelsea have a lot of options in wide areas right now so it's best if he's shipped out on loan to a Championship team.
Andrey Santos – A recent signing, the 18-year-old could do with some match experience somewhere in Europe until the end of the season.
Armando Broja – Out injured for a long time. When he comes back, immediately send out on loan to get rid of the ring rust.
David Fofana – Let him go out on loan and continue to bang in the goals until he's ready to play for Chelsea.
Kepa Arrizabalaga – He's had plenty of chances and simply isn't good enough to play for a top club.
Edouard Mendy – A clever signing a few seasons ago but injuries have completely derailed his Chelsea career.
Cesar Azpilicueta – Looks old, plays old, is old. Time to go.
Trevoh Chalobah – An academy graduate who has looked quite shaky in recent weeks; particularly in the defeat to Fulham.
Kalidou Koulibaly – It's quite clear at this point that Napoli played a blinder by selling Koulibaly.
Jorginho – His contract is up in the summer and it's the perfect time to let him leave.
Christian Pulisic – He just hasn't impressed consistently enough. Chelsea could probably still get a nice transfer fee for him too.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek – Been around forever and hasn't really done anything ever.
Hakim Ziyech – A signing that didn't work. He should, and will, leave soon.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Signed because Thomas Tuchel wanted him…and then Thomas Tuchel was sacked shortly after. Bad. Sell him.

Ground broken on Kent State University Center for Architecture and Environmental Design (photos)
By Conner Howard | Staff Writer
University officials, designers and contributors celebrated the future Kent State University Center for Architecture and Environmental Design at a groundbreaking event on Friday.
Once complete, the center will house the KSU College of Architecture and Environmental Design and boast a variety of energy efficient design features.
Dozens of students, community members, elected officials, donors and others were on hand to witness the ceremonial commencement of the center's construction.
Located on the Lester A. Lefton Esplanade, the center will face the newly dedicated Wick Poetry Center.
Douglas Steidl, dean of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design, said the new building, expected to be complete in 2016, will carry on the college's dedication to developing well-balanced design and architecture professionals who contribute to the world at large.
"We hope this building says something about the future," Steidl said. "This new site is also, in some ways, a metaphor for what we do as designers. We take an idea ... and we translate it into the city for everyday use by the everyday citizen. It is a proud accomplishment to take an idea and make it work for everybody. Being on this esplanade is a physical representation of that translation. We're extremely pleased with the site."
The design team of Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi, lead architects of the center, also spoke on the philosophies and goals present in the project.
"This is a building that actually is part of a larger world and part of connecting the campus to downtown," Weiss said. "Our idea here is to introduce a new spacial topography that's going to integrate all the disciplines, create a peripheral vision where people can see each other and it will be as much as about the things that happen between (students) as the things that happen in every disciplinary classroom."
The $47.8 million building will carry a platinum-level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification through the use of a green roof, rain garden, LED lighting and many other innovations. Manfredi said the platinum LEED certification is in step with the college's philosophy of energy efficiency and responsible construction.
"We will reduce significantly the energy consumptions over what a typical building might consume," Manfredi said. "Our hope is that we will not only educate each student in the value of sustainability, but also those who visit the building."
A major supporter of the college and the new center, KSU alumnus John Elliot, took the stage during the groundbreaking with his wife, Fonda.
Elliot, who graduated from KSU with a degree in architecture in 1970, said he felt an obligation to support the university and college that educated him.
"It's not the university that defines the people," Elliot said. "It's the people that define the university."
KSU President Beverly Warren capped off the remarks with her thoughts on how the center will fit into the university's "Foundations of Excellence" approach to institutional and educational development.
"There was this creative vision of what this university could really share as a part of the future of higher education and we call it the Foundations of Excellence," Warren said. "I feel so great about the Foundations of Excellence and this new building is a part of that. This building will be this beacon of hope ... an example of what we are as a community."
Architecture and environmental design students also looked forward to what the new center would bring. Junior architecture major Sara Chodkowski said she expects the open, collaborative nature of the new center will greatly benefit future students.
"I think it's going to be an amazing thing ... I think having all the studios together will just really help the program, just for the fact that you'll have older students being able to help younger students," Chodkowski said. "I just think it's going to be a really big step, especially for the architecture program and interior design program."
Donors to the new center include Bialosky + Partners Architects, Richard L. Bowen & Associates, Inc., Ronald and Joan Burbick, John and Fonda Elliot and the Elliot Family Foundation, Barry and Jo Ann Fetterman, Karpinski Engineering and many more.

We're raising £5,000 to Maximise the impact of Caffi Isa on the community by improving access and facilities.
1st March marks the 6th anniversary of the first weekly session in the back room of the community centre, and in April we celebrate 3 years as leaseholders of the building.
We have never concentrated on 'Fundraising' in the traditional sense because we were busy keeping up with the growing social enterprise and learning all about our building as we went. But now we have reached a stage where we can stop and smell the coffee 😃 We know how the building is used by the community and how we can improve it in the short term if only we can gather a bit of cash.

30 Basic Parts of The Car Engine With Diagram
Basic of Car Engine
A car engine is a complex mechanism, designed with multiple internal parts that work like clockwork to create power that runs your vehicle. All parts must be in good condition for the engine to work properly.
The engine is the heart of your car. It is a complex machine built to convert heat from burning gas into the force that turns the road wheels.
It consists of two basic parts: the lower, heavier section is the cylinder block, a casing for the engine's main moving parts; the detachable upper cover is the cylinder head.
To withstand its heavy workload, the engine must be a robust structure. The engine is set in motion by a spark, which ignites a mixture of petrol vapor and compressed air inside a momentarily sealed cylinder and causes it to burn rapidly.
That is why the machine is called an internal combustion engine. As the mixture burns it expands, providing power to drive the car.
The cylinder head contains valve-controlled passages through which the air and fuel mixture enters the cylinders, and others through which the gases produced by their combustion are expelled.
The block houses the crankshaft, which converts the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotary motion at the crankshaft. Often the block also houses the camshaft, which operates mechanisms that open and close the valves in the cylinder head.
Sometimes the camshaft is in the head or mounted above it.
Car Engine parts Diagram
While there are several components on an engine, we've compiled a list of the most essential car engine parts and their functions, that power your vehicle. Refer to the diagram to locate where they reside on your engine.

Read more about: The List of Auto parts
Parts of an Engine
Car engines are designed around sealed, resilient metal cylinders. Most modern vehicles have between four and eight cylinders, though some vehicles can have as many as sixteen!
The cylinders are made to open and close at precisely the correct time to bring in fuel to combine with the spark for burning internally, and to release the exhaust gases produced.
While many of us think of the engine as one major component, it's actually made up of several individual components working simultaneously.
You may have heard of some of these car engine parts names but it's important to know what their role is and how they relate to other components within the engine.
1. Engine block
The engine block is the main part of an engine. Often made of aluminum or iron, it has several holes to contain the cylinders as well as provide water and oil flow paths to cool and lubricate the engine. Oil paths are narrower than water flow paths.
The engine block also houses the pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, and between four and twelve cylinders depending on the vehicle, in a line, also known as inline, flat, or in the shape of a V.
All other parts of the motor are essentially bolted to it. Inside the block is where the magic happens, such as combustion. For more information read The basics of the Engine block.
Are a cylindrical apparatus with a flat surface on top. The role of the piston is to transfer energy created from combustion to the crankshaft to propel the vehicle. Pistons travel up and down within the cylinder twice during each rotation of the crankshaft.
Pistons on engines that rotate at 1250 RPM, will travel up and down 2500 times per minute. Inside the piston, lie piston rings that are made to help create compression and reduce the friction from the constant rubbing of the cylinder.
Attached to the engine through cylinder bolts, sealed with the head gasket.
The cylinder head contains many items including the valve springs, valves, lifters, pushrods, rockers, and camshafts to control passageways that allow the flow of intake air into the cylinders during the intake stroke.
As well as exhaust passages that remove exhaust gases during the exhaust stroke.
4. Crankshaft
The crankshaft is located in the lower section of the engine block, within the crankshaft journals (an area of the shaft that rests on the bearings).
This keenly machined and balanced mechanism is connected to the pistons through the connecting rod.
Similar to how a jack-in-the-box operates, the crankshaft turns the pistons up and down motion into a reciprocal motion, at engine speed.
5. Camshaft
Varying from vehicle to vehicle, the camshaft may either be located within the engine block or in the cylinder heads.
Many modern vehicles have them in the cylinder heads, also known as Dual Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) or Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC), and supported by a sequence of bearings that are lubricated in oil for longevity.
The role of the camshaft is to regulate the timing of the opening and closing of valves and take the rotary motion from the crankshaft and transfer it to an up and down motion to control the movement of the lifters, moving the pushrods, rockers, and valves.
6. Timing Belt/Chain
A timing belt, timing chain, or cambelt is a part of an engine that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft so that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes.
In an interference engine, the timing belt or chain is also critical to preventing the piston from striking the valves. A timing belt is usually a toothed belt, a drive belt with teeth on the inside surface. A timing chain is a roller chain.
The belt is made of heavy-duty rubber with gears to grip the pulleys from the camshaft and crankshaft. The chain, much like your bike chain, wraps around pulleys with teeth. For more information click here.
7. Engine Valves
Engine valves are mechanical components used in engines to regulate the air, fuel, and exhaust gas flow in the combustion chambers or cylinder head during engine operation.
The valve operation is very simple: the cam pushes the valves down into the cylinder against the spring, opening the valve so gases can flow, and then letting the valve shut under the force of the spring.
The pressure in the combustion chamber rather neatly helps seal the valve shut. For more information click here.
The oil pan is a vital, though simple, part of your engine's lubrication system. Oil circulates through parts of your engine to keep them lubricated. It reduces friction so everything works smoothly. Without oil, friction would quickly destroy your engine.
The oil pan keeps that oil contained in the lubrication system, so it's important that the oil doesn't leak out. Since it's a metal part attached to another metal part, there is a gasket between the oil pan and the part of the engine it attaches to.
9. Combustion chamber
A Combustion Chamber is the area within the Cylinder where the fuel/air mix is ignited. As the piston compresses the fuel/air mix and makes contact with the Spark Plug, the mixture is combusted and pushed out of the Combustion Chamber in the form of energy.
The Cylinder houses many of the important components of an Internal Combustion Engine including the Injector Nozzle, Piston, Spark Plug, Combustion Chamber, and others.
10. Intake manifold
The intake manifold in a car is the part of the engine that distributes the airflow between the cylinders. Often an intake manifold holds the throttle valve (throttle body) and some other components.
In some V6 and V8 engines, an intake manifold can be made of several separate sections or parts.
The intake air flows through the air filter, intake boot (snorkel), then through the throttle body, into the intake manifold plenum, then through the runners, and into the cylinders. The throttle valve (body) controls the engine rpm by adjusting the amount of airflow.
11. Exhaust manifold
The exhaust manifold is generally simple cast iron or stainless steel units that collect engine exhaust gas from multiple cylinders and deliver it to the exhaust pipe. It is connected to exhaust valves. Its construction is the same as the inlet manifold.
The exhaust manifold has the same function in both petrol and diesel engines, in both cases, it carries exhaust gas.
12. Intake and Exhaust valves
Inlet and exhaust valves are used to control and regulate the charge (or air) coming to the engine for burning and exhaust gases going out from the cylinder respectively.
They are provided either on the cylinder heads or on cylinder walls. They commonly have a mushroom-shaped head.
In the case of Petrol engines, air and fuel mixture enters through the inlet valve. But in diesel engines, only air enters through the intake valve. The exhaust valve in both cases is meant for letting exhaust gases out.
Intake valves are connected to the intake manifold and exhaust valves are connected to the exhaust manifold. Both intake and exhaust manifolds are discussed above.
13. Spark plug
A spark plug is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark while containing combustion pressure within the engine.
A spark plug has a metal threaded shell, electrically isolated from a central electrode by a ceramic insulator.
The central electrode, which may contain a resistor, is connected by a heavily insulated wire to the output terminal of an ignition coil or magneto. For more information click here.
14. Connecting Rod
A connecting rod is the part of a piston engine that connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft.
The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces from the piston. In its most common form, in an internal combustion engine, it allows pivoting on the piston end and rotation on the shaft end.
The predecessor to the connecting rod is a mechanical linkage used by water mills to convert the rotating motion of the water wheel into reciprocating motion.
15. Piston Ring
A piston ring is a metallic split ring that is attached to the outer diameter of a piston in an internal combustion engine or steam engine.
The main functions of piston rings in engines are:
Sealing the combustion chamber so that there is minimal loss of gases to the crank case.
Improving heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall.
Maintaining the proper quantity of the oil between the piston and the cylinder wall
Regulating engine oil consumption by scraping oil from the cylinder walls back to the sump.
Most piston rings are made from cast iron or steel. For more information click here.
16. Gudgeon pin
A gudgeon pin, also known as a wrist pin, is an important component in an internal combustion engine.
It creates a connection between the connecting rod and the piston. Gudgeon pins can also be used with connecting rods and wheels or cranks.
17. Cam
These are an integral part of camshafts. Due to cams, a camshaft is known as a camshaft. The cams are mounted on the camshaft to control the inlet and exhaust valve timing.
Now, we are talking about the most important car engine part. Read in detail about the What is cam and types of cam?
18. Flywheel
A flywheel is a mechanical device that uses the conservation of angular momentum to store rotational energy; a form of kinetic energy proportional to the product of its moment of inertia and the square of its rotational speed.
The torque provided by the engine is not uniform and is fluctuating in nature. If a vehicle continues to move with this fluctuating power. It will cause huge discomfort to the rider and also it will decrease the life of its different parts.
Hence to deal with the problem of fluctuating load a flywheel is used. A flywheel is generally mounted on the camshaft. It stores torque when its value is high and releases it when its value is low in a cycle of operation. It acts as a torque buffer.
A gasket is a ring or sheet composed of a supple material used in static applications to seal joints, flanges, and other mating surfaces to prevent leakage.
These are different types of gasket generally used in an engine:
Head gasket: A head gasket provides the seal between the engine block and cylinder head. Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinders and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinders. Leaks in the head gasket can cause poor engine running and/or overheating.
Intake manifold gasket: The intake manifold gasket seals off the small gap between the manifold and the engine, preventing air, coolant, and oil from leaking. Over time, the intake manifold gasket endures a lot of wear and tear. Eventually it may crack or warp in ways that allow leaks to occur.
Exhaust manifold gasket: The exhaust manifold gasket is usually a multi-layered gasket that contains metal and other materials that are designed to provide the best seal possible. As the exhaust manifold gasket is the first in the exhaust system, it is a very important seal that should be inspected if any problems arise.
Water pump gasket: The water pump gasket is a ring-like part made of a durable material that can withstand varying temperatures. The water pump is one of the main components that pushes coolant around the engine, so a leak could start between it and the engine block if it does not have a well-fitting water pump gasket to keep it sealed.
Oil pan gasket: The oil pan gasket itself seals the oil pan to the bottom of the engine block and prevents oil from leaking as it moves from the pan to the engine and back. Because oil is constantly flowing, no vehicle is impervious to oil leaks, though. Often oil leaks stem from the oil pan or from a worn oil pan gasket.
20. Cylinder Liner
A cylinder liner is a thin metal cylinder-shaped part to be fitted into an engine block to form a cylinder. It is one of the most important functional parts to make up the interior of an engine.
The cylinder liner, serving as the inner wall of a cylinder, forms a sliding surface for the piston rings while retaining the lubricant within.
During use, the cylinder liner is subject to wear from the rubbing action of the piston rings and piston skirt. This wear is minimized by the thin oil film which coats the cylinder walls and also by a layer of glaze that naturally forms as the engine is run in.
A crankcase is the housing for the crankshaft in a reciprocating internal combustion engine. In most modern engines, the crankcase is integrated into the engine block.
Two-stroke engines typically use a crankcase-compression design, resulting in the fuel/air mixture passing through the crankcase before entering the cylinder(s). This design of the engine does not include an oil sump in the crankcase.
Four-stroke engines typically have an oil sump at the bottom of the crankcase and the majority of the engine's oil is held within the crankcase.
The fuel/air mixture does not pass through the crankcase in a four-stroke engine, however, a small amount of exhaust gasses often enters as "blow-by" from the combustion chamber.
The crankcase often forms the lower half of the main bearing journals (with the bearing caps forming the other half), although in some engines the crankcase completely surrounds the main bearing journals.
22. Engine Distributor
A distributor is an enclosed rotating shaft used in spark-ignition internal combustion engines that have mechanically timed ignition.
The distributor's main function is to route secondary, or high voltage, current from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in the correct firing order, and for the correct amount of time.
Except in magneto systems and many modern computer-controlled engines that use crank angle/position sensors, the distributor also houses a mechanical or inductive breaker switch to open and close the ignition coil's primary circuit.
23. Distributor o ring
Distributors commonly employ a specifically sized o-ring that fits on the distributor's shaft to seal it with the engine referred to as the distributor o-ring.
The distributor o-ring simply seals the distributor housing with the engine to prevent oil leaks at the base of the distributor. When the o-ring fails it can cause oil leaks from the base of the distributor, which can lead to other problems.
24. Cylinder head cover
In many modern four-stroke engines, the cylinder head cover houses the upper actuation elements of the engine control unit as well as the valves in the crankcase ventilation with all its peripheral devices.
Additionally, it protects the engine from dirt or other foreign objects.
25. Rubber grommet
Rubber grommets are used to protect or cover holes and reduce vibration. Inserting a rubber grommet will help eliminate sharp edges and protect the engine valve to pass through a hole. The rubber grommet will help shield the valve from damage.
26. Camshaft Pulley
A cam pulley is part of the timing system in an engine used to control the rate of rotation of the camshaft, the component that controls the poppet valves responsible for air intake and exhaust in the cylinders.
The cam pulley articulates with the timing chain to rotate the camshaft in synchronicity with the crankshaft.
27. Oil Filter
Your car's oil filter removes waste, too. It captures harmful debris, dirt, and metal fragments in your motor oil to keep your car's engine running smoothly.
Without the oil filter, harmful particles can get into your motor oil and damage the engine. Filtering out the junk means your motor oil stays cleaner, longer.
28. Timing belt drive pulley
A timing belt pulley is a specialized pulley system with teeth or pockets along the outside of the pulley body's diameter.
The teeth or pockets on the outside of the pulley are not used for power transmission. Rather, they engage the pulley belt, assisting with timing and averting misalignment.
29. Water Pump
A vehicle's water pump is a belt-driven pump that derives its power from the crankshaft of the engine. Designed as a centrifuge, the water pump draws the cooled fluid from the radiator through the pump's center inlet.
It then circulates the fluid outward into the engine and back into the car's cooling system.
30. Oil pan drain bolt
The oil drain plug is typically located on the bottom of the engine on the oil pan. It is used to drain the oil from your pan during an oil change. If you notice a leak at the oil plug, in some cases it can be as simple as replacing the gasket.
If the bolt or oil pan has been cross-threaded, you may need a new oil drain plug. In some cases, an oversized oil drain plug will cut new threads to help you avoid replacing the entire oil pan.
Common Engine Problems
With so many mechanisms performing many tasks at lightning speed, over time, parts may begin to wear causing your car to behave differently. Here are the most common engine problems and their associated symptoms:
Poor compression – Results in loss of power, misfiring, or no-start.
Cracked engine block – Causes overheating, smoke coming from exhaust, or coolant leaks, usually identified on the side of the engine.
Damaged Pistons, Rings, and/or Cylinders – Exhibit rattling sounds, blue smoke coming from the exhaust, rough idle, or a failed emissions test.
Broken or worn Rods, Bearings, & Pins – Cause tapping or ticking sounds, low oil pressure, metal shavings found in engine oil, or rattling upon acceleration.
Car engines may seem complicated, but their task is simple: to propel your vehicle forward. With so many components working together to create this motion, it's imperative your vehicle receives proper maintenance to ensure its longevity.
Regularly scheduled oil changes, fluid flushes, and changing belts and hoses at the recommended time is a great way to help prevent the unfortunate circumstance of a failed engine.

This is the result of me getting carried away with a simple idea for basing a miniature I was painting. Before I knew it, I was scratch building this little scene, as the concept kind of snowballed.
Everything apart from the two miniatures is carved out of modelling foam and pva. The troll comes from the Reaper range, he was actually what started it all out. I had picked him out just as a quick painting project after doing all the 40K miniatures of late. I hadn't painted any of the new Reaper plastics, and the Troll seemed like it had some nice details. As I started to think about how to base him, an idea started to get carried away in my mind. That lead me to the Dreamer from the Malifaux game. The little boy was a perfect match for the concept.
Given this was the first time I had dared to try and make scratch built scenery or basing myself, I am pretty happy with how it turned out! I hoped the stylized trees and stars would work out well for the 'dreaming' theme, and I think it came together quite well.
I decided it needed a name, hence "When I Dream ..."
Might try something a little less ambitious next time out though!


Regional visitor centres are invited to apply for funding towards initiatives that will help them stay viable and adaptable in the changing tourism environment.
Centres can apply to share in more than $1 million in the latest round of the Regional Visitor Centre Sustainability Grant Program made possible by Tourism WA and Royalties for Regions. This initiative, worth $4.2 million over four years, was a key commitment by The Nationals WA.
Member for Warren-Blackwood, Terry Redman encouraged regional visitor centres to take advantage of the funding which will help support regional tourism, employment and skills development.
"The first funding round in 2015-16 supported 39 visitor centres across regional WA, delivering more than $1 million for a range of projects including website development, improved signage, accreditation and a mobile visitor centre," Mr Redman said.
"Who better to help visitors to regional WA than the people who already love living and working in regional tourism? Mr Redman said.
"Visitor centres have a wealth of local knowledge that enhance the tourism experience and help visitors discover the many attractions on offer in the regions," Mr Redman said.
"Improving visitor experiences is key to creating opportunities and jobs for local communities, and contributing to stronger regional economies. This is why support for tourism is an important Royalties for Regions investment."

The Evzone Tailors
"You need the patience of a donkey to do this job," says Vangelis Lazos, the master Evzone tailor, as he embroiders a fermeli (waistcoat), the most challenging part of the unit's uniform. He learned the craft from his father and now teaches younger generations. The felt is so densely embroidered that its "good side" doesn't show at all and its reverse is full of needle holes.
"You can tell a man's character from the reverse. You'll spot a nervous type from the stitching," he says.
An Evzone's costume weighs roughly 10kg while a pair of tsarouchia (red leather clogs with black pompons) weighs an additional 3.5kg.
The inimitable master of the legendary tsarouchia – a trademark of Greece around the world – Giorgos Dermatas is just starting to construct a new pair, using nothing but his hands, two small awls and two lasts.
"We get goose bumps when we see the Evzones on their way to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We check their tsarouchia to see if anything needs to be fixed," he says.
The smallest size they come in is a Greek 44 (9.5 in the UK or 10.5 in the US) and the largest a 53. The process begins with the cutting of the leather, which is then soaked in water to make stitching easier. The soles are made of cowhide though they look like mahogany. The parts are then sewn together with a waxed cord, also handmade using natural beeswax. Each pair requires more than 600 stitches and 100-120 nails are hammered into the soles. After the tsarouchia are painted and polished, the pompon is attached.
Some say Evzones would conceal a blade in the pompons for use during hand-to-hand combat.
"Let's give this one a haircut," says Dermatas as he grabs a pair of scissors and starts grooming a pompon.
"The earth trembles," he says, pounding the shoe to emulate the sharp stamping of the Evzone's feet as they march.
FUN FACT : Many Greek families have an Evzone costume in the cupboard to dress up the boys on national holidays.


The history of transmission of the Dharma from India to Tibet and the West includes the early disciples of the Buddha, Padmasambhava, and other great adepts, tantric masters, and realized yogis of India and Tibet. From among these jewels, here are a few stories to delight, challenge, and inspire wonder.

Now that school is almost back in, thousands of children will be surfing the Internet to conduct research, chat with new school mates, and complete homework assignments. Although the Internet provides a tremendous learning tool for children, left unchecked it can also expose them to inappropriate material and unscrupulous individuals looking to exploit innocent children.
The statistics of online abuse towards children are alarming. According to a new survey conducted by NetAlert, nearly one child in every five using the Internet has been approached online by a stranger, and 47 per cent of children have been exposed to material that is pornographic, sexually explicit, violent, hateful, or that encourages them to participate in dangerous or illegal activities.
According to Highlights of the Youth Internet Safety Survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice, one in five children received unwanted sexual solicitations online, and there are a growing number of cases of pedophiles using the Internet to gain a child's confidence and arrange a face-to-face meetings (also known as 'online grooming').
Install web and e-mail filtering software to prevent your children from viewing inappropriate material. A good, inexpensive software is offered on www.netnanny.com. Not only will this keep the trash off your computer screen, but it will also stop inappropriate spam from reaching your children.
Talk to your kids about online safety and proper Internet usage. Set limits and guidelines about when they can go online, what they can do, and how long they are allowed to be online. Explain why it is dangerous for them to "chat" with strangers online or download suspicious looking files.
Give your children specific online guidelines or rules to follow when using the Internet. It's not enough to warn them about potential risks; pedophiles know how to cloak their identity and gain a child's confidence to arrange face-to-face meetings.
If you want more information on how to keep your children safe online or to report illegal, violent, or explicit acts towards children, go to www.cybertipline.com. This site is run by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and is a great resource for parents, teachers, and guardians.


The EVG reader who shared the above photo admits that there was debate whether this discarded item on Avenue B near Fourth Street was once actually a tree used in the celebration of Christmas. (Also called a Christmas tree.) Will update the post upon any verification that traditional ornaments, such as garlands, baubles, tinsel and candy canes, were, in fact, hanging from this tree.

Screens have always been a popular way to provide additional security for your doors and windows. Modern technologies allow producing screens which are not only durable and multi-functional, but also look very attractive.
Sometimes a usual door is not exactly what you need – it is ideal for protection from bugs, strangers and small flying debris, but it blocks the entrance of fresh air and impedes you from enjoying the view. In this case you may think about a screen door, which would satisfy all your needs. We offer you to purchase our screen doors, which can be manufactured in any shape and size, and, which is very important, can fit any door type including slider doors, in-swing, out-swing doors and others.
Also, you may like to have additional protection from bugs and tree seeds and sun, so you must think of purchasing window bug screens as well. This is a good way to protect your home from unwanted garbage and insects, and from strangers' eyes, as well.
Another subcategory of window screens is Sun Shade Screens which control the amount of heat and UV coming through your window.
Reduce the amount of harmful solar radiation getting into your house.
Provide privacy, so that you can see what is going on outside, but the inside of your house cannot be seen by the strangers.
Keep your house cooler by reflecting the UV rays. Customers who use the sun screens have reported receiving between 20-30% lower energy bills.
