When Ocean's 11 Met Pebble Beach: How To Steal $10M of Cars During Monterey Car Week, Part 1

"You can never be overdressed," said Inga, "you might need a bathroom.""I'm sure there will be enough bathrooms atPebble Beach.""There are never enough bathrooms, especially where there is money. The sinks get better and the towels are cloth, but there are half as many stalls, and such people take twice as long. I think just to prove they can."I was counting on it."And your plan," she said, "will depend on it."Inga was a survivor. Gorgeous, person vain, judgmental and condescending, she had German-accented fluency in five languages. She was Audrey Hepburn with a bleached crewcut and two switchblades, one for a tongue, the other in her purse,for cutting cheese. She also carried a pocket ashtray,$39.95 at the uptown MOMA store. She'd never earneda dishonest dollar, what dollars she'd earned. She'd also never passed up a guest house in St. Tropezor Gstaad, even if she had to drive twelve hours non-stop in her

Letter of Recommendation: Safety Razors - The New York Times

Image
The first razor I can remember owning is one I received as a present for my 18th birthday. It came in the mail from Gillette. I don't know how the company knew, but I was happy to be in its database. The Fusion, with its novel five-blade design, had recently hit the market. I was thrilled, and I cycled back and forth through the cartridges until they were all hair-­clogged and water uselessly dull. When I found out the price of a Fusion blade-­refill box, I saw my whole life stretch in front of me.For years I got used to two sad sights: a set of overused Gillette cartridges in the bathroom cabinet and my scruffy face in the mirror. It wasn't just the cost that made me resent the Fusion.

use a treadmill dc drive motor and pwm speed controller for powering tools

Image
Power tools such as Metal cutting mills and lathes, Drill presses, bandsaws, sanders and more may require .5HP to 2HP motors with the ability to fine tune the speed while maintaining torque.Coincidentally most Treadmills use a 80-260 VDC motor with a suitable HP rating and a PWM motor speed controller to allow the user to change the belt speed and keep a good constant speed and torque while running on it. There are Commercial DC Motor/PWM livarno controllers available or you can build the PWM circuit from scratch and buy all the components seperately but you will spend a lot of time and money either way. All the parts you need are on the treadmill.Tear your own apart or get one on Ebay.(shameless self-promotion below)Motor/controller combos on EbaySafety and Disclaimers- You should have some knowledge of electricity and the dangers of household current and know your abilities/inabilities. Serious injury may occur to you or others from use/misuse of these motor set-up. If you are in d

Testimony in Amanda Knox's murder trial today challenged prosecution arguments that bloody footprints at the crime scene belonged to Knox's co-defendant and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.Knox and Sollecito claim they are innocent of the crime and that they were together in Sollecito's apartment on the night that Knox's English roommate, Meredith Kercher, was killed. The prosecution's argument that the bloody footprints belongs to Sollecito threatens their defense by placing him at the murder scene. Knox, 22, a Seattle student who was studying in Perugia, is accused, along with Sollecito, 25, of murdering Kercher, with whom she shared a cottage in this picturesque Italian hilltown. Kercher, 21, was found semi-naked with mosaic her throat slashed on Nov. 2, 2007.A third person, Rudy Guede, 22, was convicted in October 2008 and sentenced to 30 years in prison for his role in the murder. He admits to being at the scene of the crime, but says he did not kill Kercher,
