Listening to "On The Media" Sunday and again today, I heard the interview with the Director General of the BBC, Mark Thompson who answered Bob's question about the iPlayer ...

BOB GARFIELD: Now Mark, you think I'm finished with you. I am not —

MARK THOMPSON: [LAUGHS]

BOB GARFIELD: — because we asked our Twitter followers what they would ask you, and there seems to be a great interest in your iPlayer. And our Twitter followers, most of whom I presume are Americans, are interested in paying a BBC license fee [LAUGHS] —

MARK THOMPSON: [LAUGHS]

BOB GARFIELD: — in order to have access to BBC programming worldwide. Is that a doable thing?

MARK THOMPSON: We're always happy to have that kind of conversation. Yeah, we — the iPlayer is a —available in the U.K., and it's an application on the web but also on iPads and on mobile phones, and so forth, where you can very easily catch up at any point, on demand, with any BBC TV or radio show from the previous seven days. And it's been a — massive, massive hit with audiences in the U.K. And people have heard about it in this country and around the world.

There are some issues around rights and technology to sort out, but we will launch an international version of the iPlayer with lots of BBC content in 2011.

Lee gets all his powdercoating done by UVmetal. I've been planning on using him myself ... he'll break down your bike and re-assemble as part of the deal, I believe.

Lee Diamond has also had a fair amount of frames powder coated (10+) and can provide a reliable recommendation for you.

I'm not familiar with Lugs Chicago and their work, http://www.lugschicago.com/, but I do know UV Metal Arts Chicago, http://www.uvmetalarts.com/powder-coating/powder-coating.html, they are a bit more expensive than other powder-coaters, perhaps, but they do very nice work ...

Anybody used Lugs Chicago for powdercoating? If you have first-hand knowledge of their work let me know. Red

OK Garth, I can tell you haven't spent much time in the Belmont Body Mod corridor. Gauge sizes are bigger as the number gets smaller. Put into a more understandable measurement, my ear lobe tunnels are ~ 10 mm.
