It’s hard to improve upon what is widely considered superbike perfection, but Suzuki has managed to endow their fourth generation GSXR-1000 with even more power and technology– while sacrificing only an incremental gain in weight. The previous K6 model earned itself a sterling reputation among hardcore canyon carvers, but do the new K7’s technological goodies satisfy the most demanding of sport bike riders? We took out the latest GSXR-1000 to the test and came away impressed with its blend of high performance and evolutionary refinements....

Admittedly, office work sounds dull if you’re looking for adventure on the high seas (and I’ve met a few people who feel that way even after they chose to enlist in clerical occupations.) But becoming a yeoman—naval lingo for administrator—doesn’t have to be dull if you’ve got killer organizational and writing skills, a positive attitude, and the guts to push for the exciting assignments (they’re out there.) And of course, in an organization as immense as the US Navy, there’d be no way to keep the wheels turning, the ships sailing, and the paychecks coming without dedicated workers behind the scenes....

Way back in May, Chrysler CEO Al Gardner told media members who had gathered to learn about Fiat Chrysler’s (FCA) upcoming product plans that Chrysler should no longer be considered a luxury brand or premium brand, but rather, a mainstream brand. Well, I have a slight bone to pick with that approach. On the one hand, I understand why FCA is doing this. FCA has designated Dodge, which previously was thought of as the mainstream brand, as more of a sporty/performance brand....

During a motorcycle restoration, the owner will be faced with many challenges. One of these challenges will concern the surface finish of an item, or to be more precise: whether or not to have an item painted, plated or powder coated. The decision will generally come down to the cost or the likely reliability of the component. For example, an owner may well decide to have a frame powder coated in preference to painting....

When you invent a process or a product that you feel is worthwhile, you’ll want to get a patent for it. Otherwise, your rights to the invention are not protected. Someone else could invent the same thing and get a patent on it, effectively preventing you from using your invention. And even if that doesn’t happen, as soon as you start producing and/or selling your invention, the secret will be out, and anyone who wants to will be able to imitate your idea....

The defensive end in football is one of the most critical positions in the defensive scheme. When he does his job well, it makes the job easier for several other guys on the defensive unit. The job of a defensive end actually is pretty much what it sounds like: Hold down the end on the line of scrimmage and don’t let anyone or anything get outside. There are two defensive ends in a typical scheme, one on each side of the formation....

In its simplest form, an EAC system consists of an electronic door lock, a reader (such as a card reader), and some form of electronic controller. Almost everyone has had the experience of being “buzzed in” to a controlled area. The process goes something like this: After recognizing your face, a receptionist presses a button and you hear a buzzing sound telling you that door is now open. The “buzzing” sound you hear is the result of the alternating current from the power source making the lock vibrate....

Joking within the military branches of service is as old as this country itself. Each branch of service as well as different MOS or rating have different rules and jokes made about them. Here are a few classics: The reason the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines bicker amongst themselves is that they don’t speak the same language.
