I thought he was only doing my section which he posted last weekl but he put in the work and did the whole thing. There's a few more things I need to do the same to. So great to see this VHS make Old School Sundays on Flatmatters. I will be working on breaking it up in to smaller parts as well. I saw there were a couple of people that had video errors while trying to play it back. Thanks John for getting the tape to me to convert! Just happy I was able to do it.Keep on Riding! Thanks John and rad dad one of best old school sundays yet for me, so stoked on the footage, to see alot of that stuff again, was really motivating! Awesome!

John's parts and the Chase location are the same.Thanks so much for putting this up everyone!~J Post a Comment
Welcome to Flavorpill’s streaming movie guide, a new feature in which we help you sift through the scores of movies streaming on Netflix, Hulu, and other services to find the best of the recently available, freshly relevant, or soon to expire. This week, we’ve got some newly streaming indies, recent favorites soon to be remade and sequelized, and a couple of classics that have been on our minds as of late. Check them all out after the jump, and follow the title links to watch them right now. Chan-wook Park’s harrowing, masterful 2003 revenge story is newly streaming this week — just as Spike Lee’s English-language remake (starring Josh Brolin and, maybe/hopefully, Elizabeth Olsen) is gearing up for a summer shoot. All sorts of people we trust are involved in said remake, but Park’s original is going to be a tough act to follow; this is brutal, powerful, masterful filmmaking, filled with evocative imagery and knockout set pieces, and it takes a turn at the end that’s like a kick in the head. (Bonus: you can also stream the two other films in Park’s “Vengeance Trilogy”: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance.)
I spent a lot of time considering whether or not I would post this year, but when I got the 8am advisory, it reminded me how good this board is. So, I guess ya'll are stuck with me again. Anyway, last year Arlene was 2 days earlier than this guy. The first hurricane wasn't until July, and this one doesn't seem to have much potential for strengthening too much. I guess I'm just trying to draw a way too early parallel. Consider this unformatted table, which I got from the NHC page when I couldn't find the plot I wanted. The average number of tropical storms in June is 0.5. The average hitting the US in June is 0.12. I know that one observation does not mean anything, but I'm really dreading this season.

This is my third blog post, and I am happy to say that my Directed Study report has been submitted. All that remains now is a presentation and poster, which are well on the way, thankfully. My report has evolved since my last blog post. I began researching the ten oldest buildings in Melrose Park, and was eventually able to find construction dates for the buildings I was investigating. I ended up with eleven buildings in total, and another property is briefly highlighted in my report, as it was impossible to find a construction date. Judging by the architectural reading and analysis undertaken as part of this project I was able to give a broad date range for the construction of this building based on its design. The oldest building found during this research is an old stable building, which is now used as a storage facility. The stables are thought to have been constructed during the 1860s or 1870s, I was unable to find a secure date for their construction. This building is the oldest one of the suburb found in this study. The next oldest building is the original building of the Edwardstown Primary School, which was built in 1898. There were six buildings identified all along the same road, which were built in 1900, these buildings are very similar in their design and construction. Today, three of these properties are privately owned, while the other three are business premises. The last three buildings identified were built in 1905. They are also of a similar design, although they vary in the construction materials.
Sometimes we don't want to "commit" to a permanent new hair color and for those of us temporary hair color is a great option. There are many reasons we might use temporary hair color. Sometimes we just have a social event that we want to channel our inner rebel for. Others we want to add a little color but we are afraid we won't like it and don't want to make full time commitment. There are several types of color that can be added and will wash out, as well as the exact way you apply this type of hair color as well as how long it will generally stay in your hair. Of course, your exact hair color when you start as well as the texture of your hair, will determine how long it is likely to stay in your hair. Here are a few options: 1. Wash in type of hair color. These can literally be washed into your hair when you are in the shower. They usually last for a few weeks. You can find various colors available and since it is so easy to apply you don't have to worry about messing it up. The downside to this type of hair color is that it might be more difficult to only add it in specific areas of your hair. So, if you just wanted to add highlights rather than doing your whole head of hair, it might be more challenging with this type of hair color. 2. Gel. This adds hair color to your hair and it is easier to control just what part of your head gets the color and which part does not. For that reason, gel is the perfect option if you only want to add some highlights and you aren't interested in doing all parts of you hair. This type too, tends to wash out in anywhere from one or two shampoos to one or two weeks. Read the label carefully and you will likely get an idea of how long it is likely to stay. 3. Sprays. This too can allow you to only add color to one part of your hair, though it will be more difficult than using the gel to add highlights since the spray can go pretty much anywhere and it will be hard to control. 4. Another thing to keep in mind when trying to find a good temporary color is that one of the biggest advantages for these types of hair colors is that they may be less toxic. All the more reason to carefully look over the label before you buy it. Also consider how long the product will remain in your hair. If you do want something for just a few days, focus on a product that will allow you to wash it out in one or two washings. Today, we have a lot more options when it comes to "spicing up" our looks. We are no longer stuck with the idea of having to grow old gracefully, or even boringly. We can add virtually any color we want for pretty much any time frame we want. Have fun with the many options of temporary hair color. You pick the color and how long you want it in your hair. Isn't it nice to have options?
May 17, 2011 Griffin a true blue chip in both hoops and football A lot of high school two-sport stars dream, or even talk, of playing two sports at the collegiate level. Just about all of them see their dreams fall through as most are not quite talented to pull off the rare feat. Rosenberg Terry's Derrick Griffin may be able to get the job done, and Texas is one of the programs recruiting him in both sports. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

Latest Team Rankings Free Text Alerts \|ShopMobileRadio RSSRivals.com Yahoo! Sports\| \|College Teams\|\|High Schools\| February 8, 2013For John Calipari, it's all about Ws and the L-word. As his Kentucky team prepares to host Auburn Saturday at Rupp Arena, Calipari is focusing less than ever on basketball, but he's jumping through all sorts of hoops in order to get the Wildcats where he wants them. "I'm not watching game tape with them. None," Calipari said. "The staff is doing that. I don't want them to see me in a basketball sense right now. I'm just teaching life skills. That's all. How to deal with this, how to deal with adversity. What does it mean to love? Tell me what it means to love." Those were two of nine times Calipari said "love" in an 11-minute meeting with the media Thursday. Sound unconventional? It is. Calipari said he's "never" tried skipping out on film sessions. And that's not his only first. He strapped heart monitors to players earlier this season to convince them they could play harder. Calipari said he reads "three books a day" mining for ideas. He's talked to sports psychologists Bob Rotella and Ken Blanchard. "I'm taking stuff from everything I'm reading," Calipari said. "Praying in the morning. Hard. Just for strength to keep going for these kids, because they deserve to feel the joy of doing something unique." Whatever Calipari's doing looks like it's starting to work. The Wildcats (16-6, 7-2 Southeastern Conference) are second in the SEC standings, and though they've been outside the Associated Press Top 25 for 10 straight weeks, they've won four straight and six of their last seven. "Time is running out," freshman Willie Cauley-Stein said. "We only got nine more league games, and it doesn't seem like we should only have nine more league games. It's really time to step on the gas and start doing what we have to do." And Calipari is convinced that's about more than X's and O's. Every day, he said, he has three talking points in a pre-practice meeting. Rarely are they basketball related. Instead, he's focusing on pulling players out of what he calls their "four-foot circle," teaching them the concepts of teamwork and - as he continually stressed on Thursday - love. "See, if you love - and truly love - that means it's more about the other guy than you," Calipari said. "Then you have discipline. The reason you have discipline is, you're playing for him because you love him and you got his back. It's a hard thing, now." And it can be particularly hard, Calipari said, for basketball players who grew up in a culture of individualism. Players by nature want to establish who they are before they establish what they do for a team. "We struggled in the beginning," Cauley-Stein said. "We was trying to establish ourselves, and now we've got to start establishing a team. We're making strides in establishing a team and not individual players." Calipari is trying to expedite that process, and though sometimes it's about basketball - teaching players to share the ball, or to hustle back and not hang their heads after mistakes - sometimes it's about more. That's why Calipari said he'll sometimes drive at night from his house to the Wildcat Coal Lodge, where the players live, and "pull out books" and have discussions about those non-basketball life lessons he's trying to teach. It's taking time. It may take more still. Calipari's Kentucky teams traditionally have been stocked with one-and-done talents - and freshmen Nerlens Noel, Archie Goodwin and Alex Poythress are projected as high first-round NBA Draft picks - but some in this group might require more seasoning, he said. "We don't just have one (year)," Calipari said. "I told them this thing may not be a year. It may be two, it may be three, it may be four. It doesn't matter. It's gonna be what it is." And it's going to be memorably different for Calipari, perhaps his least conventional season in coaching. "Like I told my staff, 'Write this stuff down, because if it works, let's make sure we remember what the heck we did,'" Calipari said. "'Cause this is all new for me now."
by +Richard Holbrooke – Schwann cells boost and amplify nerve growth in animal models, but their clinical use has been held back because they are difficult, time-consuming and costly to culture. A University of Sheffield team, led by Professor John Haycock, has developed a new technique with adult rat tissue which overcomes all these problems, producing Schwann cells in less than half the time and at much lower cost. “The ability of Schwann cells to boost nerve growth was proved many years ago in animals, but if you want to use this technique with patients, the problem is: where do you get enough cells from?” said Professor Haycock, from the University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering. “To reduce immune rejection, the cells have to be grown from the patient’s own tissue. Of course, you want to take the smallest amount of tissue necessary, so the technique must be efficient. It must also be fast, so treatment can begin as soon as possible after injury. For clinical use, it must also provide pure Schwann cells. And finally, to make it viable, it has to be at a reasonable cost.” Existing methods for growing Schwann cells from adult tissue promote the growth of another type of cell, called fibroblasts, which swamp the Schwann cells, reducing the speed they grow and their numbers. This means that large amounts of tissue are needed at the outset, to grow sufficient cells for therapeutic use. It also requires extra purification stages added to the process, making it slow and costly – taking up to 3 months to complete. Professor Haycock and his team have come up with a very simple solution: feed the Schwann cells but starve the fibroblasts. The research, published today in Nature Protocols, uses an amino acid that only the Schwann cells can break down and feed off, and are able to produce a 97 per cent pure population of Schwann cells in a much shorter space of time – just 19 days – from a small sample of adult tissue. Professor Haycock is confident the technique can be replicated in humans. His team are trialling the same method using human nerve tissue, with results expected within the next six months.
My Big Fat Independent Movie Showing at 11:59PM on Friday, April 15, 2005 More Midnight Movies, Narrative Features Friday, April 15, 2005 at Midnight at Enzian Theater USA, 2005, 80 MIN DIRECTED BY PHILIP ZLOTORYNSKI EAST COAST PREMIERE Independent film has had this coming... Written and produced by Film Threat’s Chris Gore in the tradition of relentless parodies such as Airplane and Scary Movie, MY BIG FAT INDEPENDENT MOVIE delivers jabs to seemingly every indie film that has enjoyed both underground and mainstream success. The outrageous spoof seeks and destroys clichés of the genre: botched robberies, f-bomb–dropping hit men, codependent swingin’ hepcats, parallel subplots, lesbian sex scenes, and occasional subtitled dialogue. None of the indie film darlings are safe - Swingers, Pulp Fiction, Memento, Run Lola Run, Reservoir Dogs, The Good Girl, and Amelie all receive nods as the hilarious (and sometimes sick!) story follows a Vegas-bound robbery mission that encounters a slew of recognizable characters. Watch for Bob Odenkirk, Clint Howard, Paget Brewster, the Toxic Avenger (!), and the inimitable vocal stylings of Jason Mewes (of Jay and Silent Bob fame). Sometimes the truth hurts, even if it’s from laughing.
Drug monitoring database implementation moved to Oct. 17 Though originally projected to go live at the end of September, a statewide prescription drug monitoring program will now be implemented on Oct. 17, according to recent projections. A database to track prescription drugs in Florida, now called E-FORCSE (Electronic-Florida Online Reporting Controlled Substance Evaluation), was a long time coming. Though the program (which was signed into law by former Gov. Charlie Crist) didn’t initially have the full support of the state Legislature or Gov. Rick Scott, Scott eventually came around to support the project. The database hit other hurdles, as well: funding and privacy concerns among them. A federal grant program (NASPER) that would have given the database financial support was cut in April, and, as the bill is written, the database can only be funded by grants and private donations. An offer of $1 million from Purdue Pharma (makers of the pain pill OxyContin) was rejected by Scott. Concerns about privacy were also rampant, particularly after a similar database in Virginia was hacked, putting millions of patient records at risk. The program was slated to go live on Oct. 1, but that date has now been pushed back, to allow the program administrator time to to collect 45 days worth of data and provide training, before opening up E-FORCSE to health care practitioners. This six weeks’ worth of data will mean that the database may already begin to show trends, and allow doctors time to get familiar with how the program operates. So will the “go-live” date actually be Oct. 17? “I suppose it depends on how we define ‘go-live’ now,” says Greg Giordano, chief legislative aide to state Sen. Mike Fasano, who was a major proponent of the program. “In the past we used that term to represent the day that the database will be accessible to doctors. Sept. 1 is now the day that dispensers may begin sending prescribing information into the database. The day that doctors can begin accessing that data is now Oct. 17.”
August 18, 2010 Daily doubles drag on and team gets a bit chippy With tomorrow's scheduled scrimmage just around the corner, players were a bit chippy for the Wednesday morning session. While I'd rather see cooler heads prevail, it's nice to see a competitive fire from leaders like James Dockery and Jacquizz Rodgers. Doc and Quizz had to be separated by teammates towards the end of practice and both look in mid-season form. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

September 19, 2009 Behind dominant second quarter, UW crushes Wofford MADISON, Wis. - The way the first quarter went, it seemed as though the Wisconsin football team was going to be in for another dogfight against a scrappy Division 1-AA squad. With two fumbles in each of their first two possessions, the Badgers looked like they were hung-over from a tight double overtime battle a week ago against Fresno State. And Wofford seemed to have a growing confidence about them. But a 28-point outburst in a penalty and turnover free second quarter extended a 3-0 first quarter lead to a 31-0 score at the break and eventual 44-14 win over the Terriers for UW. "I thought it was great in the second quarter," UW head coach Bret Bielema said following the game. "I pointed out to our kids that we scored 28 points in the second quarter. We also had no penalties in the second quarter. "It's amazing what we will be able to do when we play in a way that allows you to have success just by who and what we do." After a first quarter that saw both John Clay and Zach Brown fumble, and one where the only points scored were on a Philip Welch field goal, the Badgers switched to the passing game to move the ball. Scott Tolzien, in his third career start, was once again an offensive catalyst. He finished 15-for-20 passing with 159 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the second frame. He consistently found Lance Kendricks open in the flat and seam and worked routes to Nick Toon throughout the first half. Wofford simply couldn't match up with those two players. "It felt good being able to go out there and catch some balls," Kendricks said. "Today I really had fun." After Tolzien's touchdown pass to Kendricks on the first play of the second quarter, the UW special teams made a play to jumpstart the offense. With Wofford lining up to punt, the Badgers decided to send more people than the Terriers could block. Freshman linebacker Chris Borland broke through the line untouched, got to the final line of defenders and leaped into the air and got a hand on the ball. The ball ricocheted into the end zone where fellow true freshman David Gilbert pounced on the ball. "I never dreamed of recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown," Gilbert said. "I guess it's just you using the technique that is coached so much. When you're in the position to make a play, you make it." From there, the flood gates opened. Redshirt freshman Erik Smith scored a touchdown from four yards out, the first of his career, to give UW a 24-0 lead. Then Tolzien connected with Garrett Graham for a seven-yard touchdown later in the quarter. "Coming into the game, we knew it would be a long shot," Wofford head coach Mike Ayers said following the game. "We would have to play well (and) they would have to play down some. They gave us some opportunities and we didn't capitalize on them. I think (we) probably needed to (simplify) the game plan being a young football team and we didn't." In the second half, freshman quarterback Curt Phillips got a chance to lead the team. During his time on the field, he became the game's leading rusher by running for 92 yards on only four carries. "We had a good little lead whenever I got in," Phillips said. "We just tried to keep the flow of the game going and fortunately we got a couple of more scores." Though UW coasted to an easy victory, not everything went well throughout the game. In total, the Badgers coughed up the ball six times, including three that were recovered by Wofford. Clay, who finished with 70 yards in his first collegiate start, was responsible for three of those fumbles, and two of them were lost. "It's an issue and we are going forward," Bielema said after the game. "There were a variety, some were caused by guys coming in. To me, I know that I have to get across as a head coach. That is ball security, one hand, and two hand. "We have to do everything we can to make sure they understand." Luckily for Wisconsin, the defense remained stout, particularly in the first quarter. Anytime a team gives the underdog a chance to jump on them early in the game, anything can happen. But the Badger defused refused to let that occur and recovered three Wofford fumbles and recorded an interception. "The one thing is, we got out there and thought that we, for the most part, knew what we were getting into," Bielema said. "I thought the way our defense came ready to play (they) knew what they needed to do to have us get a win. "I really thought the first half they played tremendous football defensively." ...More...

Latest Team Rankings Free Text Alerts \|ShopMobileRadio RSSRivals.com Yahoo! Sports\| \|College Teams\|\|High Schools\| December 8, 2010Conference USA announced its 2010 Players of the Year today, which were selected by the league's 12 head football coaches. Tulsa was well represented, as quarterback G.J. Kinne was named Offensive Player of the Year and Damaris Johnson earned Special Teams Player of the Year. Kinne's accolade marks the 11th time in the last 13 years that a quarterback has won the award. He ranks first in C-USA for total offense (322 ypg) and second for pass efficiency (141.8) and passing yards per game (275.6 ypg). Kinne has led Tulsa to the No. 1 ranking in C-USA in rushing offense, scoring offense and total offense. He has five 300+ yard passing games and one 400+ yard game this year. Kinne has completed 60 percent of his passes for 3,307 yards and 28 TDs, and has rushed for 557 yards and 7 TDs. The Special Teams Player of the Year award went to Tulsa junior kick returner/punt returner Damaris Johnson. He leads the nation for the second straight year in all-purpose yards with a 191.8-yard per game average. Johnson has five 200+ all-purpose yard games and has 39 plays for over 20+ yards this year. He became the FBS and C-USA record-holder for career kickoff return yards in only his junior year and he currently has 3,308 career KOR yards. In 2010, many opponents have kicked away from Johnson, as he has returned only 29 kicks on 67 kickoffs. He has produced 795 yards, one TD and a 27.4-yard average on those 29 returns. Johnson currently ranks 24th in the FBS for kickoff return yards and 19th for punt returns this season. He also has a team-leading 771 receiving yards and three TDs, while rushing for 462 yards, a 9.2 average and 6 TDs. Johnson earned first team all-conference honors as a punt returner and second team recognition as a wide receiver and a kick returner. East Carolina senior Dwayne Harris was named the recipient of the Conference USA Most Valuable Player Award. The 2009 Special Teams Player of the Year has set ECU single-season records with 1,055 receiving yards and 93 receptions, becoming just the second Pirate to ever record over 1,000 receiving yards in a year. Harris' all-purpose yardage average of 171.0 per game ranks third in the league and fifth among all FBS players. Defensive recognition went to UCF senior DE Bruce Miller, who becomes the first C-USA player to win that honor in back-to-back years since Adalius Thomas of Southern Miss in 1998-99. He owns the UCF career record for sacks with 34.0, a figure that is tied for third in C-USA history. The league's Freshman of the Year honor went to UCF QB Jeff Godfrey. He is 9-2 as a starter since taking over the Knights quarterback reigns on Sept. 18, completing 68.4 percent of his passes, tops among all FBS quarterbacks. Junior QB Dominique Davis of East Carolina garnered the league's Newcomer of the Year award. He has established East Carolina single-season records in touchdown passes (36), attempts (552), completions (358) and passing yards (3,699) this fall. The 36 TD passes are tied for the sixth-most in a year by a Conference USA quarterback, while his attempts and completions this season are the second and third most, respectively, by a C-USA signal-caller.

Latest Team Rankings Free Text Alerts \|ShopMobileRadio RSSRivals.com Yahoo! Sports\| \|College Teams\|\|High Schools\| January 19, 20121.) La Costa Canyon (18-2) Led by three-star small forward Matt Shrigley, the Mavericks not only have the best player in San Diego, they also have the best team. Head coach David Cassaw's LCC squad is balanced at both ends of the hardwood, making it the team to beat in San Diego in 2012. 2.) Cathedral Catholic (18-1, 4-0) Undefeated inside San Diego, the Dons have become masters of pulling out close games, so much so that you might call them escape artists. Cathedral has been locked into close contests with several teams inside the San Diego Basketball Top 10, but each time, the Dons tend to come out on the favorable side of the decision. Will that trend continue with upcoming games against Lincoln and St. Augustine? 3.) Hoover (18-2, 2-0) No Angelo Chol? No problem for Hoover, which has won 18 of its first 20 games. Of those two losses, only one came against a San Diego team, and it came against No. 1 on our list. Head coach Ollie Goulston has changed the focal point of his offense this year, as Hoover now relies heavily on the playmaking ability of point guard Chris Jones. 4.) Lincoln (10-7-1, 3-0-1) The Hornets played a brutal preseason schedule, but head coach Jason Bryant won't have it any other way. Tough losses against superior competition will pay huge dividends, and will only make uber-athletes Tyrell Robinson and Tyree Robinson better players at the end of the day. 5.) St. Augustine (16-3-1, 2-2-1) Blowing out Army-Navy and tying Lincoln has the Saints flying high as they head into next week's critical Western League showdown at Cathedral Catholic. 6.) El Camino (13-5) Head coach Ray Johnson has an athletic team that has size to match up with just about anybody, but the team has been a little inconsistent this year. Double-digit wins at Poway and Vista are nice, but early-season losses against Army-Navy and Morse are troubling. The Wildcats seem to have righted the ship, however, and could challenge La Costa Canyon in the Avocado West League. 7.) Poway (13-7, 1-0) The Titans are a good all-around team, led by one of the more polished big men in Southern California. Sam Beeler isn't the strongest or most athletic post player, but he's polished enough to dominate games with his well-rounded ability. 8.) Mission Bay (11-4, 4-1) The Buccaneers have stumbled lately after opening hot. Road losses against Mount Miguel and Cathedral Catholic were tough games, but you would've like to have seen Mission Bay pull out a win in one of those two games. 9.) Army-Navy (15-4, 2-0) Head coach Tom Tarantino has an advantage inside every night in the paint, where 7-foot-1 center Cheikh Ndiaye roams the center of the floor. While the junior phenom has averaged a double-double this season (11.4 PPG, 11.7 RPG), he hasn't dominated the way he could, and his free throw touch is ugly at best at this point. Ndiaye needs to step his game up for Army-Navy to climb up this list. 10.) La Jolla Country Day (11-5, 1-1) The Torreys haven't been tested too terribly inside of San Diego, but came within four points of upsetting the No. 2 team on this list. LJCD has talent, and is Army-Navy's biggest threat for a Division IV title. Junior guard Sage Burmeister (16.9 PPG, 1.9 APG) is a creative offensive player who excels at creating his own shot, but he could do a better job of setting up his teammates.

LANs to WANs(c) The Complete Management Guide Authors: Muller N.J. Published year: 2003 \|< Day Day Up >\| Depending on the situation facing network managers, bridges can be used to either extend or segment LANs. At one level, bridges can be used for segmenting LANs into smaller subnets to improve performance, control access, and facilitate fault isolation and testing without impacting the overall user population. At another level, they are used to create an extended network that greatly expands the number of devices that can be supported and the services available to each user . Bridges may even offer additional features such as data compression, which has the effect of providing greater throughput over low-speed lines. Compression ratios of 2:1 all the way down to 6:1 may be selected by the network manager, depending on what the vendor offers with a specific product. As noted, bridging occurs at the data link layer (see Figure 5.1), which provides physical addressing, manages access to the physical medium, controls data flow, and handles transmission errors. Bridges analyze incoming frames, make forwarding decisions based on the source and destination addresses of those frames, and then forward the frames to their destinations. Sometimes, as in source-route bridging, the frame contains the entire path to the destination. In other cases, as in transparent bridging, frames are forwarded one hop at a time toward the destination. Figure 5.1: Bridge functionality in reference to the OSI model. Bridges can be either local or remote. Local bridges provide direct connections between many LAN segments in the same area. Remote bridges connect LAN segments in different areas, usually over telecommunication lines. There are several kinds of bridging and all may be supported in the same device: Transparent bridging —used mostly in Ethernet environments that have the same media types, these bridges keep a table of destination addresses and outbound interfaces. Source-route bridging —used mostly in token-ring environments, these bridges only forward frames based on the routing indicator contained in the frame. End stations are responsible for determining and maintaining the table of destination addresses and routing indicators. Translation bridging —used to bridge data between different media types, these devices typically go between Ethernet and FDDI or token ring to Ethernet. Source-route translation bridging —this is a combination of source-route bridging and transparent bridging that allows communication in mixed Ethernet and token-ring environments. (Translation bridging without routing indicators between token ring and Ethernet is also called source-route transparent bridging.) The engine for transparent bridging is the spanning tree algorithm (STA), which dynamically discovers a loop-free subset of the network’s topology. The STA accomplishes this by placing active bridge ports that create loops into a standby or blocked condition. A blocked port can provide redundancy in that if the primary port fails, it can be activated to take the traffic load. The spanning tree calculation is triggered when the bridge is powered up and whenever a change in topology is detected . A topology change might occur when a forwarding port is going down (blocking) or when a port transitions to forwarding and the bridge has a designated port, which also indicates that the bridge is not standalone. Configuration messages known as bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) actually trigger the spanning tree calculation. These messages are exchanged between bridges at regular intervals set by the network manager, usually 1 to 4 seconds. Once a change in topology is detected, this information must be shared with all bridges on the network. This is a two-step process that starts when a bridge notifies the root bridge of the spanning tree by sending it a special BPDU known as a topology change notification (TCN). The bridge sends the TCN out over its root port. The root bridge acknowledges the message by sending back a normal configuration BPDU with the topology change acknowledgment (TCA) bit set. The second step in the topology update process entails the root bridge sending out configuration BPDUs with the topology change (TC) bit set. These BPDUs are relayed by every bridge, so they can become aware of the changed topology. There are some problems associated with spanning tree. The more hosts on the network, the higher the probability of topology changes. For example, a directly attached host, such as a client or server, will trigger a topology change when powered off, then go on to clear an operating system problem. In a large, flat network, the point can be reached when it is continually in topology change status. The resulting high level of flooding can lead to an unstable STP environment. To deal with this problem, vendors have come up with ways to avoid TCN generation for certain events. For example, the network manager can configure the bridge so that it issues a TCN when a server is power cycled, but not when client devices are power cycled. If a bridge port going up or down is not deemed an important event, this event too can be programmed not to issue a TCN. Source-route bridging (SRB) is used in the token-ring environment as the method by which a station establishes a route through a multiple-ring network to its destination. The first step for a station to reach another is to create a packet called an explorer. This packet is copied by all bridges in the network, with each of them adding information about itself before passing it on. The explorer packet’s routing information field (RIF) contains the information of where it has traversed through the network and within the RIF; a route descriptor stores the path it has taken through the network. As the explorer packet is constructed on its way through the network, the destination station will start receiving data packets from the originating station. Based on the contents of the explorer packet, the destination station will then decide which route to use to send data packets back to the originating station. Or it will send its own explorer packet so that the originating station can determine its own route. The explorer packet is limited in terms of how many rings it can hold in the routing information field. Although the RIF can hold a total of 14 rings, IBM long ago limited this to seven. Other vendors also adopted this limitation. Consequently, an explorer packet that has traversed seven rings will be dropped in the network. To control traffic in the network with more precision, parameters can be set in the bridge to decrease this number even further, so that packets that reach X number of rings (any number below seven) will be dropped. While explorers are limited to traversing only seven rings, in a meshed ring environment, one explorer can finish being copied by many bridges, which can cause too many explorers. Explorer storms can be prevented in redundant network topologies by setting the bridge to filter out explorers that have already been forwarded once. Since explorer traffic can be distinguished from regular source route traffic, the network manager can issue commands that check the bridge for various parameters, such as the number of explorers that were dropped outbound on that interface. While Ethernet has become the network of choice for new installations, there is still a good amount of token ring in use, making it necessary to mix the two environments for data exchange. Doing so is complicated because some very fundamental differences between Ethernet and token ring must be reconciled. Token ring has functional addresses, while Ethernet primarily relies on broadcasts. Furthermore, MAC addresses on the Ethernet are different from MAC addresses on the token ring. Ethernet does not have a source-route bridging capability and token ring has a routing information field. Finally, token ring and Ethernet use different methods to read the bits into their adapters. To unify the two environments, vendors have come up with various methods such as translation bridging. This is a type of bridging that is implemented on networks that use different MAC sublayer protocols, providing a method of resolving differences in header formats and protocol specifications. Since there are no real standards in how communication between two media types should occur, however, no single translation implementation can be called correct. The only consideration for network managers is to select a method of translation and implement it uniformly throughout the network. Essentially, the bridges reorder source and destination address bits when translating between Ethernet and token-ring frame formats. The problem of embedded MAC-addresses can be resolved by programming the bridge to look for various types of MAC addresses. Some translation-bridges simply check for the most popular embedded addresses. If others are used, the bridge must be programmed to look for them as well. But if translation-bridging software runs in a multi-protocol router, which is very common today, these protocols can be routed and the problem avoided entirely. Token ring’s RIF field has a component that indicates the largest frame size that can be accepted by a particular source-route bridging implementation. Translation bridges that send frames from the transparent-bridging domain to the SRB domain usually set the maximum transfer unit (MTU) field to 1,500 bytes to limit the size of token-ring frames entering the transparent-bridging domain, because this is the maximum size of Ethernet frames. Some hosts cannot process this field correctly, in which case translation bridges are forced to drop the frames that exceed Ethernet’s MTU size. Bits representing token-ring functions that are absent in Ethernet are discarded by translation bridges. For example, token ring’s priority, reservation, and monitor bits are discarded during translation. And token ring’s frame status bits are treated differently, depending on the bridge manufacturer; the products of some manufacturers may even ignore these bits. Sometimes, the bridge will have the C bit set, indicating that the frame has been copied, but not the A bit set, indicating that the destination station recognizes the address. In the former case, a token-ring source node determines if the frame it sent has become lost. Advocates of this approach claim that reliability mechanisms, such as the tracking of lost frames, are better left for implementation in Layer 4 of the OSI model. Advocates of setting the C bit argue that this bit must be set to track lost frames, but that the A bit cannot be set because the bridge is not the final destination. Translation bridges also can be used to create a software gateway between the token ring and Ethernet domains. To the SRB end stations, the translation bridge has a ring number and a bridge number associated with it, so it looks like a standard source-route bridge. In this case, the ring number reflects the entire transparent-bridging domain. To the transparent-bridging domain, the translation bridge is just another transparent bridge. When bridging from the SRB domain to the transparent-bridging domain, SRB information is removed. Token ring’s routing information fields usually are cached for use by any subsequent return traffic. When bridging from the transparent bridging to the SRB domain, the translation bridge checks the frame to see if it has a multicast or unicast destination. If the frame has a multicast or broadcast destination, it is sent into the SRB domain as a spanning-tree explorer. If the frame has a unicast address, the translation bridge looks up the destination in the RIF cache. If a path is found, it is used and the RIF information is added to the frame; otherwise , the frame is sent as a spanning-tree explorer. Another solution to unify the Ethernet and token-ring environments is source-route translation bridging (SRTLB). This entails the addition of bridge groups to the interfaces of both the token ring and Ethernet bridges to create a transparent bridge domain between the two environments. The bridges at each end are responsible for establishing the path through the network. When a bridge on a token ring receives a packet from an Ethernet, for example, path establishment is handled as follows (see Figure 5.2): Figure 5.2: Source-route translation bridging, from token ring to Ethernet. Bridge-1 receives a packet from the Ethernet. This is from PC-1 to the host. Bridge-1 needs a RIF to reach the host, so it creates an explorer to learn the path to reach the host. After Bridge-1 receives the response, it sends the response (without a RIF) to the Ethernet station. PC-1 sends an exchange identifier (XID) to the host MAC address. Bridge-1 gets the Ethernet packet, attaches the RIF to the host, and sends the packet on its way. As far as the host is concerned , the Ethernet is sitting on a pseudo ring. This is configured with the source-bridge transparent command on the bridge. The pseudo ring makes the host treat the Ethernet as if it were a token ring. \|< Day Day Up >\| LANs to WANs(c) The Complete Management Guide Authors: Muller N.J. Published year: 2003
Martina McBride will be joined by Pink Together, General Mills’ national breast cancer awareness campaign, on her Eleven Across America Powered by Amtrak cross-country train tour. The train tour, in support of Martina’s new album, Eleven, will travel from Los Angeles to New York City, stopping in 11 cities along the way. The train ride will end with Martina lighting the Empire State Building pink before a special private concert at the historic landmark. Pink Together will contribute $1,000 to each local Susan G. Komen Affiliates along the tour for a total of $11,000. The donation is in addition to its $2 million national donation to the organization. For the first time, consumers will be able to choose how half of General Mills’ $2 million donation is shared between two Komen initiatives by voting at PinkTogether.com until April 14, 2012. Martina’s current single, “I’m Gonna Love You Through It,” is the story of husband standing beside his wife while she battles breast cancer. “Breast cancer is something we’ve all been touched by in some way or another,” Martina said. “‘I’m Gonna Love You Through It’ is a song I hope will provide positivity and strength to those going through the struggle.” “The message of Martina’s song – ‘I’m Gonna Love You Through It’ – is the essence of Pink Together,” Eric Jensen, Pink Together campaign manager, said. “It is an incredible opportunity to partner with Martina to spread a message of hope and support across the country to everyone affected by breast cancer.” Also joining Martina on the tour will be Katie Parker, who was selected as a 2011 Pink Together Survivor Ambassador for her story of courage and survival in the fight against breast cancer. Katie will blog from the tour and her posts will be available at PinkTogether.com

Marion Levine teaches English, Literature and Film Production at Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies, Los Angeles, CA Measure for Measure, Act 4 or 5 What's On for Today and Why Students will choose a character from Measure for Measure and create a "back story" for that character. This will encourage students to read the text closely looking for clues regarding a specific character's history. Students will re-read a portion of the text and then write about what has happened to the character before the play begins. They will then create an artifact, such as a diary or journal entry, written by the charcacter they have selected. This will allow them the opportunity to think like the character and to view the events of the play from a specific point of view. This lesson will take two 40 minute class periods. What You Need Measure for Measure, Folger Edition What To Do 1. Explain the concept of a "back story" as the important events that occur to a character before the play begins. You may need to prompt students with questions such as: What was the character like as a child? In what situation did he/she grow up? Students will need to show how the script supports their choices. 2. Have the students write a one or two page back story in either the first or third person. 3. Divide students into small groups of 4 or 5 and have them re-read Act 4 or Act 5, combing throught the text for character details. 4. Have students write a letter, diary or journal entry from their selected characters point of view (first person). This artifact should concern one or more characters in the play. 5. For increased authenticity, appropriate for an "Extra-Extended" book, students could write their letter, diary entry using calligraphy, a handwriting font or on a piece of yellowed paper. 6. Allow students time to read their pieces and share their artifacts with the class. How Did It Go? Were students able to justify their choices with reference to the text? Did their artifacts accurately portray character traits that can be interpreted from the text? Were students able to convey a sense of the character's perspective through this activity? This lesson could be applied to any fictional text that the students read in class. Through close reading and attention to a specific character, students are able to identify with, and understand the concerns of a character on a deeper level. Possible choices could include Jay Gatsby, Hester Prynne,and Atticus Finch. If you used this lesson, we would like to hear how it went and about any adaptations you made to suit the needs of YOUR students.

Author Notes: This sandwich is a vehicle for lobster salad! I think the textures, colors and flavors balance well. - cristinasciarra Makes 4-5 sandwiches - 1 garlic clove, minced - 1 egg yolk, fresh as possible - 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard - freshly ground black pepper - about 1 cup canola oil, or other neutral oil - a pinch of salt, to taste - 5 scallions - 1 pound fresh lobster meat (tail and claw) - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - a pinch of cayenne pepper - Make the garlic mayonnaise: Add the minced garlic, the egg yolk, the mustard, and the black pepper to a small bowl. Give everything a little stir, to incorporate. - Slowly incorporate the oil in a very thin stream, while constantly beating with a fork or mini whisk. (Add a little oil at a time, waiting until the oil has 'disappeared', before adding more.) The whole process should take about 5 minutes--the mayonnaise will have risen in the bowl and turned a paler yellow. You should also be able to tip the bowl over without the mayonnaise falling out. - Let the mayonnaise rest in the fridge, covered, for at least one hour before use. (This can also be made a night ahead.) - Put the lobster salad together: Wash and thinly slice the scallions. Add them to a medium-sized bowl. - About the lobster: my fishmonger happens to sell freshly-cooked, whole lobsters. You can also buy live lobsters, and cook them yourself. - Chop your lobster into bite-sized pieces, and then add them to the medium bowl. Also add: the lemon juice, the cayenne, and the mayonnaise. Gently toss all ingredients together, to incorporate. Cover with plastic, and move to the fridge while you assemble the sandwich ingredients. - 4-5 brioche or challah buns - 2 tablespoons salted butter (optional) - 6-10 leaves of Boston Bibb lettuce - plain Cape Cod potato chips (optional) - You have two bun-toasting options: 1) Melt the butter in a non-stick pan. Cut the buns in half, and toast them in the butter. 2) Toast them without butter in a toaster oven. (Obviously, the butter option is more delicious.) - Layer 1-2 leaves of lettuce on each bun. Pile a generous scoop of the lobster salad on top of the lettuce. - Optional: layer some Cape Cod potato chips into the sandwich. (They provide salt and crunch.) You can also simply serve the sandwich with the chips on the side.

Tuesday, April 7, 2009 Cooking the Weather Often, it seems as though I talk about food inextricably with the weather outside my window. I thoroughly admire home chefs who can menu plan for an entire week - the closest I've ever come to weekly menu planning is observing to myself that a 13 hour clinical shift means that I should cook supper with leftovers the night before, so we wouldn't have to begin preparing supper when I arrived home at 8PM, but beyond such foreshadowing a day or two in advance, I spend quite a bit of contented day-to-day time spontaneously pondering what to fix for supper that night. If I've visited the grocery or a roadside farm stand that day, likely supper will revolve around whatever bit of greenery, grain, or other such happy ingredient sparked my fancy on the drive home. Always, though, I'm cooking the weather - the wind, the storms, the spring flowers and the winter furies. If it's raining, or especially cold, there will assuredly be a stew or soup of some sort - yesterday, for example, the weather turned suddenly chill, taking us by surprise amidst our blissful Southern spring, so, since we'd already had a hearty lunch with friends in the afternoon, supper was simply noodles in broth - whole grain noodles floating blissfully in a homemade vegetable broth with lots of diced vegetables of all sorts of colors and textures - simple, soft, warming. Had the wind stayed gentle and warm, we likely would have whipped up a supper salad instead. Tonight, the weather is supposed to drop below freezing, so I plan on returning to a favorite melding of spring flavors and chill temperatures - asparagus and barley risotto... Often, reading all your wonderful blogs, dear readers, I sense I'm not alone, as I delight in your sharing of recipes that celebrate the seasons... So, I wonder - do you cook by the weather too? Asparagus and Barley Risotto 5 slices bacon, diced OR 5 slices smoked tempeh, diced, plus 1 T olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 onions, chopped 2 lbs asparagus, woody ends removed, cut into 1 1/2" pieces 4 cups cooked barley (I love cooking mine in a rice cooker - so speedy!) 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup 1% milk ~ In a large skillet, cook the bacon or tempeh over medium heat until browned. ~ Add the garlic and onion, and saute until the onions are limp and translucent. ~ Add the asparagus, and continue to saute until the spears are just crisp-tender. ~ Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir in the cooked barley, Parmesan, and milk, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. ~ Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve nice and cozy warm!
Cuties are easily spotted at our local grocery store and at Costco. Next, you add the pulpy juice...then the dry ingredients...and the batter is done. Quick! Baker's Joy. Stacey says to bake it at 375F for 50-55 minutes, but I always set the timer for 10-15 minutes less when I am trying a new recipe. It's a good thing that I did, because the loaf was finished at 40 minutes! NOTE: You could easily turn these into muffins. Saturday Blog Showcase, hosted by Lori at "All That Splatters" and Ann at "Thibeault's Table". It's a great way to give a shout out to fellow bloggers and a fun way to discover new food blogs. I would love to have more of you participate, so please link a recipe you've recently made from a fellow Food Blogger. Thanks Stacey! I hope you find Clementines, before the season is over!
Peanut butter enthusiasts – buckle up. There’s a new healthier alternative in town. I love peanut butter. I remember when I was younger, I’d go for spoonful after spoonful of this sinfully-wonderful-peanut-y-creamy paste after school. Yes, “glutton” I hear you say. But as I grew older, I soon realised that this spread isn’t too innocent afterall.
Mmm….Biscuits. To me that phrase is as good as Homer echoing about donuts. I LOVE biscuits, especially slathered with butter and honey. Thankfully I don’t make them often. Today’s LA Times has a recipe from Harris Ranch for their buttermilk biscuits. They look perfect to me! Pork Loin Stuffed with Figs or marshmallow and chocolate Whoopie Pies? I’ll let you decide because in today’s NY Times they both look good. I’m not so into a cake disguised as a cookie so my vote’s going to Mark Bittman’s pork. I’ve made my own mozzarella and ricotta but, that was in culinary school and I don’t claim to be any kind of expert. I love ricotta and this recipe from today’s Seattle Times (now the lone paper in that town) looks approachable and straight-forward. I think I may just try making it myself. Thomas Keller reveals to today’s Washington Post his method for a perfect roast chicken. You might be surprised at how easy it is, and there’s not a sous vide bag in sight! While you’re there, check out this recipe for Hush Piggies. Like their cousin the Hush Puppy, these lovelies are dotted with bits of sausage. Talk about over the top!

The Community Shield (the most important of course, who could forget Hernandez’s…erm…”header”). And a disgrace of a performance at Upton Park in the bleak mid-winter in the League Cup. That list pretty much sums up United’s season, and not just literally. It’s been a season of great success in the League despite looking a shadow of the great teams of ’94, ’99 or ’08. It’s been a season of defensive frugality and efficient progression in the Champions League. But it’s also been a season of luck and underwhelming performances at times, so the Football Pubcast “Anti Player Of The Year” awards provides a great platform to highlight that. For every Nani, there has been a Obertan. For every Hernandez, a Bebe. For every Vidic, an Evans. And for every Paul Scholes first half of the season, there has been a Paul Scholes second half of the season. So without further adieu, here are the men who have under-whelmed at times when more has been required. Jonny Evans: Where better to start than the man deemed good enough to allow Gerard Pique to go back to Barcelona? To be fair to Jonny Evans he excelled in his loan spells at Sunderland and in his first two seasons in the United first team, at times performing more consistently than Vidic and Ferdinand. But this year has been his “annus crappus”. Ever since Chris Smalling joined he’s looked to be lacking in confidence, and as such has dropped to fourth (or at times fifth) choice centre back. But be fair to young Jonny (and he is still young for a central defender), he has struggled with injuries and the fine form of Vidic, Smalling and (when fit) Ferdinand. However somehow he has at times fallen behind our next man in the pecking order… Wes Brown: Ahh Wesley Brown. It’s incredible to think Wes Brown has been in the United first team for 13 years now. He’s been to the World Cup with England, won numerous League titles and two European Cups. And still most people think he’s a bit shit. I’ve always been an advocate of the world’s biggest baked bean, and you only have to look at the 2007-08 season where he played more times than anybody else as United secured the League and European Cup, in the process making the right back slot his own in the best defensive line-up of the modern era and finally becoming an England regular. But as has always been the case, he’s struggled with injuries and the curse of being unglamorous. Who would you rather see in your defense, a lad from Manchester? Or a tricky young Brazilian, a Serbian brute, England’s most expensive defender and (until recently…) captain, and a loveable Frenchman with umpteen siblings and a tendency to start fights with groundsmen? After falling out with Fergie last summer I sadly expect Wesley to bite the dust and head off to Newcastle, Everton or Villa in the summer (although to be fair Tottenham could do worse). Gabriel Obertan: Ahh, now we’re getting into proper “Bellion territory” (but at least Bellion scored more than once). The sort of player who’ll join Andy Goram, Jordi Cruyff, Kleberson, Eric Djemba-Djemba and William Prunier in the most underwhelming Masters side ever. For a brief period in the autumn Gabriel Obertan looked to be fulfilling the potential that is so clearly there. He’s fast, skillful and, as shown against Bursaspor, can grab a goal or two. However most of the time he just runs into a defender and gets pushed over. He’s equally good on both wings, but I don’t mean that as a compliment, and must be a favourite to head off to Nantes or Montpellier or Toulouse in the summer. All this while Tom Cleverley has been quietly playing wonderfully for two years out on loan. Bebe: I recently read a fellow United fan say that they like to pretend that Javier Hernandez cost £13m (still a bargain), and Bebe never happened. Well sorry my friend but he did. It’s not Bebe’s fault, arriving on a wave of publicity and controversy as the first “homeless” player in the Premier League, he’s really had to deal with a lot in his short United career. I still think he could come good, and some amazing goals in the reserves back that up. However most of the times he’s been plunged into the first team he’s looked lost. A laughable performance replacing Owen Hargreaves against Wolves is probably the most notable but there are many, and again a similar player in Danny Welbeck has been at Sunderland earning England call-ups and ripping Chelsea to pieces. The Worst of the Rest: Michael Owen is telling everyone who’ll listen on Twitter that he’s sure he’ll score a vital goal in the title run-in, and while I’m inclined to believe him a season of injuries and falling to, at times, 6th choice striker doesn’t bode well for his contract being renewed. Michael Carrick on the other hand has been given a new contract, and would probably have featured on the above list until the past month where he’s looked something like his former self. Likewise Wayne Rooney, who ensured he’ll never truly be regarded as a United legend with his off-pitch behaviour but saved his reputation with top class showings post-January. Gary Neville, as you may or may not know, is a favourite of mine. Unfortunately the Neviller showed in his fleeting appearances this season that he’s off the pace but was wise enough (unlike many) to retire. Another man who should heed G-Nev’s actions is Paul Scholes. He showed player of the year form in the opening months of the season before a series of indiscplined and off-the-pace showings highlight that maybe he should retire on a (relative) high, after all we can’t all be Ryan “Energizer” Giggs. After those names you have the likes of Anderson, who did his usual “look great for a month, then get injured or fall out with Fergie and disappear”. With Scholes on the way out he really needs to step up next year. Federico Macheda looked average and arrogant first half of the season before heading off on loan to Sampdoria and looking average and arrogant, what we wouldn’t give for another Aston Villa moment in this title run-in. And finally, a brief note on Owen Hargreaves. I’m not sure 5 minutes against Wolves can count as dreadful (especially given the performance Bebe put in replacing him), but despite all our wishes it’s looking highly unlikely that the man who drove United to Champions League glory with some imperious midfield displays and would have saved England from 4 years of Gareth Barry will ever recover. My, what a black picture I’ve painted. Anyone would think we’ve had a season of board-room strife, changing managers, our top striker leaving and Joe Cole being crap. I must doff my cap to the likes of Nani, Vidic, Smalling, Berbatov, Valencia (when fit), the Da Silvas, van der Sar, Sir Ryan Giggs and, of course, that boy Chicharito. It’s been a strange year for United, one that looks likely to end in top honours but little respect from their peers. But a time a when traditionally a lot of back-slapping goes on (see the PFA Player of the “First Six Months Of The Season” Award), it’s always good to look back, criticise and be a bit miserable. I mean, is there anything more Northern than that? Agree? Disagree?

Bus Kids Ministry Back in 1996 Foothills Christian Church began a ministry for kids in impoverished neighborhoods at risk to the gang and drug culture. The hope being to reach kids while they were still in the early age of influence. Beginning with one bus, one driver, two helpers, and one bus stop, the Bus Ministry was set in motion. It's mission to pick up children, primarily in apartment complexes, and bring them to Sunday morning church service. Now, there are six buses and several multi-passenger vans driven by 24 volunteer commercial drivers with 30 Sunday Bus Routes in El Cajon, Santee, and Lakeside. There are over 40 volunteers who minister to more than 300 Bus Kids each week. The Bus Kids Christmas Dinner is it's biggest event of the year. For the College Group who sponsors the party, it is their largest outreach of the year. The whole Bus family is invited to come and celebrate. Sometimes the gifts given are the only gifts the kids will get for Christmas. We want the families to leave knowing we love their kids and care about them.
For more in this series, see #Consumer4sight The future consumer wants to play: with you and with her friends. That means having more options, choices, new experiences, and interaction with you, your products, systems, and services. It means variety and fun in the course of using a product or service and engaging with a company. We have come to talk about “gamification” in this context. That means that a system or user experience is made more like a game, with interaction, puzzles to solve, players to compete with, rewards and “levels” along the way. A key driver of this new consumer expectation is digitally-enabled interactivity. We’ve already set new standards for engagement with technology, e.g. with i-devices and even with Siri, the voice recognizing iPhone agent. Technology is also making this possible with non-electronic products, since any product or brand can have associated apps. More consumers will look for the chance to interact and play. The bottom line for business – Interactivity and engagement are essential for consumers. There will always be products that are used without much thought, e.g. trash bags, but the sense of fun and the positive possibilities for it for business can come just about anywhere. If a product cannot be interactive and fun, maybe the buying experience, or the ads for it can be. Consumers increasingly crave variety and interest, and reward the companies that offer it. Here’s a nice example: Dodge, to promote its Journey model, hid cars around the world, offering clues for people to find them. The first to find one of the cars got to keep it. i-device enabled consumer life is more and more app-driven. That means with a service or access to a product, such as through a store’s app, there are ways to build in fun. The goal is to enchant the consumer and build interest and loyalty. And there’s plenty of room for more fun in the consumer marketplace.
Kaibab Lake is small; this picture shows about 1/4 of the lake, but it has a quiet serenity that lets you forget that you are only 2 miles from Interstate 40. In the southern corner of the Kaibab NF, it is only 60 miles from the Grand Canyon but a world away from the crowds. Cormorants that roost overnight in several dead trees, attest to the amount of fish in the lake....shades of Hitchcock! except these guys aren't agressive unless your'e a fish! With the evening sun and a level trail, you can stroll around the whole lake in about an hour.
Quote From : PadfootRose July 22, 2012, 1:47 am I noticed you don't have a glee section, which I think you should have. Glee fanfiction is very popular and adding it to your site will make more people visit. Fanfiction.net has an extensive list of all the characters that people use in fanfiction. So if you could add Glee as a section, that would be awesome :) I would be more than willing to add a Glee section, but as I am the only admin right now, and I have a LOT of other duties, if you were to either post a list or email it to the firstname.lastname@example.org email, you would get it. Otherwise, it could take a while.

I had a brain burning day at work, and almost decided to skip game club. However, I changed my mind at the last minute and went. This meant that I didn't even get a chance to change out of my work clothes, which makes things a little difficult. Peep toe pumps and old basement steps are not a good combination, especially when carrying a crate of games. I managed to neither break an ankle nor a heel. That was my big win of the evening. I was too beat to play anything requiring much thought. Another guy was in the same mood, although for a different reason. He had dental work done this morning and got the good meds. So how bad do you suck when you lose to the guy on pain killers? Anyway, we played a few card games, which I can't even remember. One had fashion designers, one had people with weapons and one just had ugly green numbers. We also played one game of Mordred. Mordred won. Red gave me a hard time about taking too long on my turns tonight , since we were playing such light games. He was right, and I deserved the taunting, but I was so fried I kept forgetting what the hell I was doing. Oh yeah, we also played Rumis, which is a form of torture for the spatially challenged. ETA: Now that I am more awake a few reflections on the games played, especially now thatI remember their names. Esculation, Take 5 and Trendy all had a familiar feel, as if I had played something similar with a standard deck of playing card as a kid. They were nothing special. I didn't much care for Take 5. I might have liked it better if the cards weren't so ugly. The pictures on the Esculation cards were funny. I liked Trendy'd fashion designer theme. If I still taught summer camp, I would probably toss a copy of Esculation and Trendy into my duffle bag as something to keep the older kids occupied and out of trouble. Mordred is faster, easier and lighter than it appears.

glad things are ok. i have nuc boxes and an obsv. hive so you didn't have too much to worry about if things went bad. would've got you a queen raised. would have like to here that you were able to mark your new queen though and i'm curious why they superceded the package queen so soon. was your other queen as timid ( running and hiding)? what race was your package,(sorry i forget -otd) it may be different now. keep an eye on their aggresiveness now. you've gotten stung too many times already. if i can help give a holler. Kind of you to make the offer about a queen. I got a package of Italian bees in April of this year. I can't guess why the first queen was superceded, although I don't pretend to think it couldn't have been me that did something to her. I'm may not be all thumbs in the hive, but I don't exactly move as skillfully as a brain surgeon in there, either. Which is why I didn't want to go whole-hog digging for her after I lost her in the crowd. The old queen was not shy or timid (is that a bad trait?), and because of her marking, I was always able to spot her each time I went into the hive. That's why I felt certain I'd lost her when I didn't see her on my two previous visits inside. (That and the lack of eggs then.) I don't imagine that she was too old when I got her, but then, she was marked with white paint, not according to any color scheme I'm aware of. Anyway, I'm glad right now to have things heading back on track, and will get things in better order soon. As Robo suggests, I have to make sure the new queen is below and has laying space before locking her out of the honey super. But I'm amazed at how quickly they filled a medium super with comb and nectar -- only a week -- when they set their collective mind to actually doing it.
Taking a walk around the streets, usually in my lunch hour, there are 3 plants that seem to be attracting the bees the most. Salvias, Eucalypts and another plant (shrub) that I havn't found the name of yet. It has slightly rusty small pointy leaves with small white trumpet to bell shaped flowers. It is common in the gardens from the sixties and seems to be making a comeback again in some of the newer gardens too. With the Eucalypts they seem to have just started opening in the last 24 hours. Feel free to add to the list. Phil, google Abelia spp and see if that is the one you're thinking of
I had wondered whether Boring, OR was a real town or just your humorous commentary on where you live. Now I know the answer. Though I never have thought of Oregon as boring. Now I have one that didn't make the top ten list. Though I have a Longmont, CO address, I actually live closer to Hygiene, CO. Many people are slightly repulsed by the town being called Hygiene, or they at least have a funny reaction to it. But I have lived here so long that I forget this effect on people. It used to have a tuberculosis sanitarium (which purportedly housed Doc Holiday at one time), thus the name. I think I'd rather live in Hygiene than Toad Suck.

Supply and demand. Give them what they want and they pay you for your work. If you don't play what the customer wants and don't provide a professional service you get treated as an amateur. Playing original material though is a hiding to nothing unless you have done the toilet gigs and built a following over the years. Be professional in your attitude and get professional fees. Perfectly possible to get paid for gigging. Tribute bands and function bands pay good money, but it's hard work. Pub bands will pretty much cover expenses. Original material will probably lose you money even if you get signed. I think when the beatles were a cover band they played what was current at the time. Cover bands now seem to be playing the same old covers and getting fed up with them. Maybe the audience feel the same. I think to get paid well it may be worth taking some present hits and having a go at them ie Bruno Mars, all the tarts stuff you know, just sell your soul and have a go or do brown eye girl again. Try Rhiana or something. Plenty of cover bands have tarts singin male parts so vice versa.

If your asking for free battle tips start on a low difficulty then slowly move up after a short time and as you get better.

Odds are everyone here already has the game. But if you have any friends who were on the fence about getting it tell them to hurry up and go buy it off steam. It's on sale for 66% off but they are doing this "Flash Sale" thing this time around where the item is only on sale for the really cheap price for a few hours. So get out there and get people to grab a copy. More people for when MP patch hits.

Prepared pals go to 'Amazing' lengths September 26, 2008 They have taken an oath of reality-TV silence, so local “Amazing Race” contestants Mark Yturralde and Bill Kahler can't say whether they won or lost, or even how they played the game. But you can be pretty sure that when the self-described Comic-Con geeks ran their final race earlier this year, they were wearing the right underwear for the job. “I very clearly remember a discussion we had about underwear that went on for 90 minutes, where we argued about what type of underwear we should get and what the underwear should be made out of and how many pairs we would need,” Yturralde said last week. “We went out and bought different sorts of travel underwear and wore them in advance to work and tried to wash them in the sink to see if they would dry, and then we would discuss the merits of this one versus that one.” Gee, Mark, you guys are pretty geeky, aren't you? “You have no idea,” Yturralde said. Well, now we do. And come this weekend, so will everybody else. Yturralde and Kahler make up one of 11 teams competing in the 13th edition of “The Amazing Race,” the globe-trotting CBS competitive reality show that returns to prime time Sunday. For this installment, the series sent its contestants on a 23-day journey that covered five continents, making stops in Cambodia and Kazakhstan and taking in a floating city along the way. As always, the details are under wraps. But no matter where the racers ended up, seasoned “Amazing Race” watchers know they were met with exhausting physical challenges involving heights and perhaps bungee jumping, weird food, hairy taxi rides to far-flung airports and acts of sabotage by fellow contestants. We also know that one team will be doomed to a first-episode departure, and the 42-year-old Kahler and the 41-year-old Yturralde did everything in their control-freak power to make sure they were not that team. “We've watched 'The Amazing Race' for years, so we've seen people do things that were mistakes,” said Kahler, who met Yturralde more than 20 years ago at an SDSU science-fiction club. “They brought bags that were too big, they wore shoes that were totally impractical. So we tried to give ourselves every advantage we could by thinking about things ahead of time.” So Yturralde memorized the routes in and out of major U.S. airports, and the duo combed travel Web sites to determine which international airports had the most delayed flights. A word of advice from Bill and Mark: Never go through London's Heathrow Airport if time is of the essence and prize money is at stake. But even with all their careful research, focused shopping and expert packing, the old friends encountered challenges they couldn't have anticipated. They can't say what those challenges were, of course. But they can say that the excitable, thrill-seeking Yturralde and the quieter, more methodical Kahler each rose to the occasion in his own special way. “I know a lot of very intelligent people, and Bill is hands down the smartest guy I know,” said Yturralde, a volunteer treasurer for the annual Comic-Con pop-culture convention and the principal technologist for Cardinal Health in San Diego. “He did some things that I can't really talk about right now, but they blew me away. I would say, 'My God, I can't believe you did that, that was so freakin' smart.' ” As for Kahler, an associate director for financial aid for a local law school, he was impressed with Yturralde's ability to win friends and influence almost anybody. “Seeing Mark go out there and use his people skills was something to watch,” Kahler said. “Mark has always been just brilliant when it comes to getting people to do what he wants and do it without resenting him for it. I hope everyone gets a chance to see that.” On “The Amazing Race,” teams are usually identified by the teammates' relationship. The current lineup includes a “Newly Dating” couple; a “Dating Long Distance” couple; a “Divorcees” team and, most intriguingly, “Married Beekeepers.” The label Kahler and Yturralde got was “Best Friends,” and in spite of the commercial showing Mark slapping Bill upside the head, the label was not a lie. As far as we know. “Leading up to it, we thought, 'Could something happen that would make us so mad at each other that it would threaten our friendship?' ” Kahler said. “We've been through some stressful stuff when we worked on Comic-Con, but usually when something gets us mad, we get mad about it together. It never occurred to me that there could be anything that would just make us turn on each other. “And you can find out if I'm right about that or not.”http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/peterson/20080926-9999-1c26karla.html Find this article at: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/peterson/20080926-9999-1c26karla.html SAVE THIS \| EMAIL THIS \| Close Check the box to include the list of links referenced in the article. � Copyright 2007 Union-Tribune Publishing Co. ?

I am enjoying my first look at Sabayon 7 and would like to stay with it, but inability to set up my Canon MP640 printer might curtail my experience. The printer runs in Linux Mint Debian Edition and Fedora 15, but neither the source or rpm drivers will install in Sabayon. If I run the source install script I get "Error! The appropriate package is not found in the appropriate directory." I tried the source install in /home and /usr/local/src. I installed rpm and get a mile of unresolved dependencies, but the dependencies are in the source package, if only it would compile. So, I can get the Debian driver to work as well as the rpm in Fedora. Can anyone please suggest a cure for the compile problems in Sabayon, please? Edit: The printer is a wireless network device. I have read the Gentoo guide without seeing any solution. Last edited by den_car on Sun Oct 16, 2011 22:21, edited 1 time in total.
First food porn! I love my new(ish) phone, it has a great camera. I bought some vegetarian pho base that was on sale at the store, and being that I have never made pho before, I came here for help and got some great pointers.viewtopic.php?f=18&t=22777 It was a huge sucess. Both myself and my omni partner love pho, it was the first time making it. Yes I cheated a bit with the base broth, but it was only 99 cents. It was super easy too, a 30 minute meal for sure. Here is the noodles with the faux pho meat. I used soy curls rehydrated in 'beef' broth and tamari, then carmalized with garlic, tamari, and LOTS of sirracha. Here is my pho set up (yeah we eat at the coffee table. It was a total mess after pho.) Here is a close up of the pholiciousness

Great work by the way really helps tidy up my movie collection Deano been reading your thread about how you used the TV set up to create an extras series and when I added this addon last night I had the very same thought as above re using it for extras. I assume to do this though we'd need to tweak the nfo files yes? in order to create the extras as movie titles (I dont believe these can be scrapped from TMDB unless someone is adding?) As for your other point, I'd second that - great idea - to separate the movies and extras - a big thumbs up.
I should point out that the stereo earphones that come with the phone are also quite decent. Certainly not high-end like your Shures, but most people wouldn't notice the difference. And of course they can switch between music and phone use, without having to bother with an adapter. (To use them for the phone though, one has to turn off bt, at least if a bt headset is within range. Same with any wired headset.) Being the normal earbud type, they (if used as they are) don't fit well in my ears, easily fall out, etc. I found a good soution for that--Griffin Ear Jams. You put these on normal type earbuds, and it transforms them to the in-the-ear earbuds (like the Shures and others), which stay in better, and sound better.
I am currently studying on gaining ACE status in a few Adobe programs. Perhaps I'm special, but as I'm reviewing the ACE checklists (or practice exams), I'm trying to understand what it means when the choices open up as: "Given an option . . . describe that option". What exactly am I being asked to do? That's it? Maybe I'm confused because I'm going along the ACE Certification Checklist and I'm assuming that each numbered section is an individual question. But I read your post in another discussion saying that each question is multiple choice. It's just so hard to believe because it is of a really technical software. Am I being duped? That's correct Kevin ALL questions are multiple choice. In my experience the majority of questions ask you to choose 1 option from 4 possible answers, but there are also questions that ask you to make 2 choices from a list of 6 - 8 options. Some questions are based on a visual, ie, click to see Exibit A (an image appears) and there will be a question related to it but most questions are written out with no visual. Hope that helps Europe, Middle East and Africa
I'm sorry, father, could you run that by me again? Since its a Catholic hospital <- call it the (Will of God) sue him instead <- I would not. This strucked me is kinda odd ? less than an hour after she entered the emergency room, Lori Hodghill and the twins she was carrying died. She was there for little less than an hour , so they could have and gone in and saved the twins <-- it's NOT abortion -> the twins would be 2 months premature thats savable ? This poor man lost his entire family in one day - reminds me of that Indian guy in Scotland and yes another (Catholic hospital) where the fetus was having severer complications and died , the parents urged them to abort to save the mothers life and they stalled until she died as well.

I seem to recall that the case makers do not get detailed info about upcoming devices, much less names. They seem to get very simple drawing that only indicate the dimensions and I/O points on the device. Only after the reveal are more comprehensive plans made available. As for the nomenclature, I think its mostly irrelevant. I think the more important question is why we think Apple would kill the current Nano styling? Note that Apple has been building this device for 7 generations now. Five generations of the Nano, which replaced 2 generations of the iPod Mini which used a 1 HDD over NAND. So what reasoning do you have to think Apple will, for the first time since building iPods continue a product line by removing features? Why would a device that was capable of being held in the hand for video recording now be replaced with one that either has no such ability or would seem to be less comfortable to hold if a video camera was included? What really bugs me is the display size. Why not go with a larger display that is equal to or greater than the current Nanos display. In widescreen a square display will make video unwatchable. You could also pack more features into the larger footprint. Apple likes to go smaller, but they typically do so if they maintain or increase the feature set in the process. Its for this reason I think (regardless of what this is called) that the current Nano design will not likely be killed tomorrow as it fits a niche that is not covered by this rumour, the Shuffle, the Touch or Classic. Also, even with the Classic so long in the tooth its still part of their lineup even when they kept adding new iPods. Why must one die so the other can live?

It seems Jobs was threatening them who is in charge, who is more powerful and who pays their salary. No problem, watch the video, then come back to this thread. It's the other way around. In the USA, anyone (literally, if you watch the video) can become a city councillor. And in this case, it wasn't a case of Steve saying, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM???, he was respectfully presenting the plans and answering questions, of which some were legitimate concerns, and some were silly like the city councillors wanting free iPads and what not. As you are not American (and neither am I, though I have travelled a lot), you would normally assume Steve Jobs would walk in there and "threaten" them. Like I said, in most developing countries, someone like Steve Jobs wouldn't even have to show up. Whatever he wanted, the government (country, state, city, village, whatever) would simply bow to whatever his wishes were. I'm living in a country where you can't even be Prime Minister if you are not Muslim, even if you are a citizen. And this ain't the Middle East. The government recently paraded all the Christian church leaders out in front of the media as they were accused of "plotting to put a Christian Prime Minister in power". Anyway, with regard to the actual approval process, I'm sure someone more familiar with Silicon Valley can comment. They can say "No", but that would be suicide for the city. All they need to do is due dilligence, or at least show some of that if it's just rubber-stamping the approval. Steve has had a lot of problems with another city, well, town, in this case Woodside, with regards to his plan to demolish an old house of apparent historic value which he bought. I think this Cupertino presentation was a big PR and perhaps an expression of "wanting to play by the rules" move to make sure no problems crop up with the new Apple campus.
DigiTimes reported that, according to industry sources, "the chance is low" that Apple will release a television next quarter. Tipsters said there were no signs indicating that supplier Sharp is prepared to ship Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide panels to Apple. Apple was believed to have turned to Sharp for its IGZO panels after it became clear that South Korea's Samsung and LG were "unlikely to share" OLED panel production capacities with their rival. Both electronics makers reportedly regard their new OLED TV models as their "killer products" for this year. The report went on to note that Sharp's "seems unready" to start shipping larger IGZO panels, despite the fact that its 8G production lines are capable of outputting 32-, 46- and 55-inch panels. Yield rates were listed as a major concern for the company. The panel maker announced at the start of this month that it plans to turn its attention away from commodity LCD panels and focus heavily on ramping up IGZO production, Semicon Portal reported earlier this week. "IGZO panels are expected suitable for smartphones and tablets, but there is much wider demand of IGZO applications is emerging. We are now proposing IGZO panels for notebook PC displays and PC monitor display and have got good reactions. We count on IGZO as new business," company president Mikio Katayama said. Katayama was recently asked about Apple's plans for a high-definition television, but he declined to comment. Though Sharp's LCD TV business was profitable during the first half of its fiscal year, which ran from April to September, a sudden shift in demand last fall resulted in a rapid decline. Katayama said the Japanese LCD TV market on a value basis shrunk to 20 percent of its year-ago size during the third quarter. If earlier reports are to be believed, Apple's third-generation iPad may be the first of its products to sport Sharp's IGZO panels. Multiple sources (1, 2) have suggested that the technology will end up in the next iPad, though one report out of Korea claimed last month that Sharp had failed in its initial supply and would not provide displays for the rumored tablet, which is expected to arrive in March. Apple has also reportedly invested in Sharp's manufacturing facilities as part of their partnership. Sources for The Wall Street Journal indicated last November that the iPad maker had contributed an unspecified amount toward Sharp's Kameyama No. 2 plant in Japan. Earlier rumors had suggested that Apple would pay a "large portion" of the $1.2 billion set aside for a new factory. DigiTimes' most-recent report would appear to contradict claims made by Jefferies analyst Peter Misek last November. At the time, Misek said production of an Apple television would begin at a Sharp facility this month in preparation for a mid-2012 launch. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said earlier this week that Asian supplier checks had revealed Apple has prototype televisions "in the works." Sources also indicated that Apple had contacted a "major TV component supplier" about its plans. [ View article on AppleInsider ]
Motorola's Form 10-K annual report, filed (via MacNN), revealed that the company has just received a letter from the commission notifying it of Apple's complaint. The form disclosed ongoing legal proceedings, including its dispute with Apple. Apple's complaint was submitted to the Competition Directorate-General and asked for the commission to intervene "with respect to standards-essential patents" (SEPs). The iPhone maker alleges that Motorola has breached its Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory commitments for its SEPs. FRAND commitments are vital to the establishing of industry standards, especially within the wireless industry. Companies are often required to agree to license their patents on FRAND terms to competitors in order before submitting their intellectual property to standard-setting organizations. Court filings show that Motorola has offered Apple a patent license, but Apple believes the 2.25 percent royalty rate that its rival is seeking is unfair, unreasonable and discriminatory. In Friday's filing, Motorola also said it expects International Trade Commission cases brought against it by Apple and Microsoft to be resolved in the second and third quarters of this year. The company warned that ITC losses could require it to expend "significant resources to pay damages, to develop non-infringing products or to obtain licenses." In addition, patent licenses could either be unavailable or commercially unreasonable and might potentially result in the blocking of Motorola's devices in the U.S. market. Outside of Europe, Apple has also petitioned U.S. courts for relief from Motorola's SEP litigation. The company filed suit against Motorola in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California last week, alleging breach of contract on Motorola's part. Apple claims that its agreements with Qualcomm have given it a license for the two SEPs that Motorola is asserting against Apple in Germany. Motorola had previously won injunctions against Apple for alleged infringement of push services and GPRS patents. Apple was found not to have infringed on a third standards-essential patent that Motorola brought against it in Germany. For its part, Apple recently won a victory against Motorola in Germany. Earlier this week, a Munich regional court issued a permanent injunction against Motorola products that had been found to be infringing on Apple's slide-to-unlock patent. The legal battle between the two companies could heat up even further when Google completes its acquisition of Motorola. At the least, the search giant has said it will uphold Motorola's aggressive tactics with respect to FRAND licensing. Though Apple and Google have become fierce rivals in several key industries, the companies have thus far largely avoided direct legal confrontations. Both the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission have approved the $12.5 billion merger, but they have also voiced concerns that Google will abuse the patents it acquires from Motorola. The DoJ called out Google for being "more ambiguous" than Apple or Microsoft in its commitments to upholding FRAND licensing terms for standards-essential patents. [ View article on AppleInsider ]
11-20-1999, 08:37 AM I have recently read in a German magazine that the stability problem, which forced Audi to recall all TT's, will also affect TT Roadsters as well as S3's. The magazine claims, that all parts that cause the instability problem by TT, need to be replaced in S3's as well. Well, as I own a new S3, this article raised many questions in my mind. As I haven't read anywhere else that S3's have to be recalled as well, I want to know if there is such a fact. Does anybody has an idea? <center><img src="http://www.vwaudi-club.no/pics/member/are/S3-suszq-front.jpg"></center><p>Yes. The problem is with the Haldex clutch common to both S3 and TT. The culprit is a software bug in the control program. Don't brake hard when you are driving over 70mph in a sharp curve, or the Haldex will get into an error mode which may cause the rear wheels to brake unintensionally causing the car to spin tail first!!! This problem is beeing worked on by Haldex. (A simple chip replacement wil fix the problem). Haldex is also looking into adding a bigger oil tank/ Oil cooler which is needed when tuning the S3 past 330 hp.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vwaudi-club.no/pics/member/are/suzyq_mtm.html">Suzy Q; Imola yellow Audi S3 MTM</a></li></ul> 12-16-1999, 06:10 PM Thank you for the kind reply. I collected most German and some British magazines, which tested the S3 and they all agree that S3 communicates with its driver much more than the TT. They claim, that you get a better feeling of the limits of the car - when it is going to loose the back or the front. Still, the problem is there as you mentioned and we all have to wait. Meanwhile Audi Turkey claims that everything is in order. I think they will apologize soon. Please keep me informed if you hear more. By the way, your car looks great!!! '00 Black S3
I've been searching for evidence or testimonials about supposedly well-known problems with the 2.7T engine. Here's the deal: I'm still driving my 3rd Audi, a '91 200 TQ 20v. I've had it for a long time and love it, but it's getting old (>230K miles). I've had my eyes on the A6 2.7T for some years now. However, my favorite mechanic, an excellent local Audi expert and racer and Audi loyalist to the bone, insists that the 2.7T engine is REALLY bad news. In fact, he's convinced that Audi should recall them for updates. According to him, it seems that Audi dropped the ball on the 4-valve v-block design causing seals to break down after 60K miles. He's already rebuilt 12 of these engines over the past year, all with <100K miles. So, I'm writing to this forum to find out: 1. Anybody had similar experience with the 2.7T engine? 2. Has there been any acknowledgement from the factory on the existence and/or cause of this? 3. Any after-market cures to look out for so that, once re-built, one could be confident that it was fixed. 4. Any indication that it's inherent in the design of the engine and can't be corrected. Honestly, I've been a die-hard Audi fan for nearly 20 years. But this shakes my confidence in the company, especially in light of the fact that they seem to be totally sweeping this under the rug. 01-26-2006, 04:09 PM our engines are completely fine.....stock turbos aren't the best but the engines are fine, very stout actually for what kind of power a lot put through them 01-26-2006, 09:36 PM Oops on two accounts. First, that's my goof, not the mechanic's. Second, I should've looked into the audience a bit more thoroughly before being so...well...blunt. But, since I already have.... Begging your pardon, I completely respect this guys opinion. And I've seen the engines being rebuilt. Hell, the crappy seals on the 2.7T have even been mentioned on this forum. And these are completely stock, family cars. Makes me wonder what you mean by "fine". Certainly not what I've grown accustomed to expect from Audi. Generally speaking, you'd be hard pressed to find more staunch audi fanatics than either he or myself. That's what makes it so dissappointing. And that's what made me decide to address this on this forum....to try and get some unbiased perspective on this KNOWN issue. But, alas, I guess I'll have to look elsewhere :-( ETA 4 SEC 01-27-2006, 10:44 AM Would your buddy be talking about the 2.8 engine and not the 2.7T? 01-28-2006, 06:40 AM ...to my understanding, this is very specific to the 2.7T. I'm checking on more specific information. Also, I don't think it's with the head gaskets, more of a seal problem and I think it's with the cam or crank. I'll repost with more specific info. 01-30-2006, 06:26 AM Our engine is based on the 2.8. The cylinder bore is not quite as much to accomodate the pressure of the turbos..adding longevity with the adaptation. Its still the 5 valve design. If you read the posts and search the archives on the c5 A6 forum and the allroad forum, I don't think you will find anyone who has had the NEED for an engine rebuild with the 2.7T. However...there have always been cam seals and valve cover gaskets that leak, slowly. There have been turbo oil return lines that clog or leak as well. But IIRC there have been no head gasket problems. Add to this that these boards are populated by people who generally DON'T BABY their cars. We should have some blown pistons and rods.. but don't. This is one strong engine. The turbos are a possible weak link, the gaskets are problematic and the ECU system is filled with polution control crap. But in the end its the added systems that have been known to fail.. not the motor itself. What you post is that the "family guys" don't know didly about what they are driving. One fellow poster recalled watching an older women drive a 2.7T with the turbo lady singing...not knowing what it meant. Another said to her husband.. "I've had this funny light glowing on the dash for 4 weeks..." Another said to me while on line at the dealer... "What do turbos do anyway?" So you put a high performance car in the hands of a guy who just came out of an Avalon or a Continental, or a Sable and you have the need for motor work AS THE RESULT OF NEGLECT. The point is that the motor work your friend is doing is a SYMPTOM not the actual problem. Drive one...then buy on and enjoy the modding life. 01-30-2006, 07:36 AM ...and "re-build" is probably the wrong term. Again, my mistake. It's probably more top-end work that he was refering to. Still, he's been pretty adamant that there's a persistent problem. I think he's refering to cam seals, but I'm still hoping to get more specific information from him. Like you say, it really could be that he's seeing a lot of casualties resulting from neglect by people that don't fully understand and appreciate what they're driving. Thanks for the post. It really is encouraging for me because I'm really attracted to the idea of the larger sized A6 and the rather large array of mods for the 2.7T. As I've indicated, I'll re-post with more specific information about his concerns as I receive it. 01-30-2006, 09:03 AM 01-30-2006, 01:38 PM ...received this afternoon. "the typical problem with the 2.7t is that the cam adjusters leak (aka cam ajuster units & cam chain tensioners). some claim that only the seals leak, but we consistently see them leak from the adjuster body. another problem with some of the 2.7t was premature failure of the waterpump causing the timing belt to slip and bend valves. we also see the camshaft seals leak." Granted this is all top-end stuff, but it still sounds pretty scary (read: expensive). Also, assuming it's given that this problem exists, once re-worked, is it truly corrected, or just set for a period of time before it all starts again? I dunno. It scares me a little. 01-30-2006, 07:19 PM But we all believe in preventative maint. Timing belt replacement AND the Timing belt tensioner and the water pump. At at 80K+ depending on the car. The cam seals front and rear are common as well. Its the price of an audi. 01-31-2006, 02:46 PM So, you seem to indicate that, for the 2.7T 30v V6, you should just expect to not only replace the timing belt, but just go ahead and replace cam adjusters, water pump and maybe even cam seals at 80K +/-??? Still scares me a bit. But, let's take it a step further. You can use a metal impeller WP, right? Does that cure that problem more long-term? Also, are there aftermarket or upgraded cam adjusters and/or seals that can be used to cure the problem more long term? Any and all comments appreciated:) 01-31-2006, 03:29 PM So, there isn't a 2000/2001 A6 with the 30V V6 and 6-speed manual? Any comprehensive list identifying available configurations vs. year and model? Links and urls would be cool:) 02-01-2006, 01:05 PM <center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/10896/dsc01436.jpg"></center><p>It was a result of poor workmanship from the sellng dealer (Richmond Motors in Chatam Ontario) than any problem with the motor. In owning two 2.7t cars, and 3 2.7t engines I would have to say that they are very reliable engines. Have never run into turbo problems (I am a fanatic about proper warm up/cool down and synth oil every 6k kms). I wouldn't worry too much about leaking seals, mechanics who work on my cars all tell me that you need to take care of the turbos and everything else will be fine. TB replacement as per this site's recommended schedule is also a good idea. Other than that your worries are few and far between. The one I blew up ate a few valves and a spark plug and still ran (tho not very well). If you come to this site and expect people to be down on the cars we all love, you are mistaken, so cut these guys some slack, they are trying to help. 02-01-2006, 03:32 PM Also, there aren't any upgraded cam seals or adjusters, either (still wearing flame suit.) Honestly, the timing belt needs to be changed out every 60k or so, along with the wp, tstat, and since you have to take the front end off of the car, why not just do the cam seals, valve cover gaskets, etc.? I just got done doing mine at 55k (2001.5), and I had a leaking cam seal on the driver's side. It had been leaking since 30k with no adverse problems; I probably lost 1 quart of oil for about 4k miles. It apparently wasn't that big of a deal because it never was addressed by Audi when I was under warranty. So, yes, it seems "scary" that you "have" to replace all that stuff, but I could have just left it alone and run another 55k until it either a.) started dumping oil or b.) came time for the next timing belt change. The above not only applies to the 2.7t but also to the 2.2t I5, 3.6 V8, and 2.3 I5 that were in my other Audis. Did I do them? Yes to some, no to others, and it's not mattered so far because nothing has broken (knocks on wood.) Preventative maintenance is just that: preventative. You actually never see the results because the car is never broken. However, peace of mind is a whole lot cheaper than a new engine. 02-01-2006, 04:26 PM ...maybe it's not quite so "scary" after all. It IS a bit more involved PM than I'd prefer, but still better than driving a Chevy:o No doubt, it's important to be able to determine what's been done when checking out used units. Thanks much for your input, and to all the rest. Great group here!! 02-01-2006, 06:46 PM but they are hard to find.. Hang out on the A6 c5 forum and the allroad forum get the know us. The motor forums are secondary. ETA 4 SEC 02-03-2006, 07:12 AM instead of the odd plastic ones that were on the original (I should have taken pics). I bought mine from ECS. If I remember correctly, my Audi Tech told me that the water pump was revised. When and why, I don't remember. I'll have to ask again. I did my WP and Timing belt at 80,000 miles. I also don't have any leaks of any kind. 02-03-2006, 07:30 AM Thanks for the post. Was the WP from Audi? Or was it aftermarket/3rd party? ETA 4 SEC 02-03-2006, 09:06 AM but I would be reluctant to call it "Aftermarket". It's described as, "OE water pump with new gasket manufactured by HEPU of Germany." I'll email you more info. 02-03-2006, 01:16 PM Their stuff is usually OE or OEM, but heaven only knows. All I know is that mine had a plastic impeller and my mechanic said there wasn't one with a metal impeller out yet. There might be one out there, though. Probably need to research it. The stock K03s are really the only weak point. The 2.7T is well built for boost, coming stock with a forged crank, rods and pistons. The 6 speed manual in my A6 is a great transmission too, I love the ratios, especially top gear. 02-06-2006, 01:47 PM It seems pretty obvious, from this thread and others, that there is indeed a set of issues with this engine. I guess it's just a matter of how much of an issue. Specifically, there seem to be issues with both the water pump and with the cam adjusters. The WP is prone to pre-mature failure that can lead to more serious conditions (e.g., timing belt slip and possibly broken or bent valves). The cam adjusters have been found to leak oil on numerous occasions. To a less extent, it seems, cam seals have also been found to leak. All that said, it seems that the remedy for all this is extra dilligence in what would be considered routine and/or preventative maintenance. Although it might be considered excessive by many, pro-active replacement of the WP BEFORE failure, possibly with an available metal blade unit, and replacement of the cam adjusters and regular intervals might be all that's required to mitigate these issues from occuring. I think I can accept that:) 02-07-2006, 08:33 AM Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with that - the engine just requires a little more maintenance than most engines. It is, however, making a lot of horsepower and torque through the use of forced induction. If it makes you feel any better, no one has broken the internals (yet...) 02-07-2006, 09:20 AM 02-07-2006, 06:02 PM 03-06-2006, 09:08 PM 03-10-2006, 04:39 AM 03-11-2006, 09:09 PM Just look. They will have this wheel package stock from the factory, have a better suspension(not great, but better), and be 6 speed. Most were in silver...sorry ;-) Shweb, I've just come your route, from the I5T-20Vs as a 100% DIYer. After lurking and asking Qs for a year, decided that the '02 A6 2.7T 6spd may be second only to the 44 chassis, 3B/AAN engines in reliability (>development years) but the A6 car in total is an order of magnitude more complex. Look at it as just a new challenge! Old? Your 200-20V is just well broken in! I'm keeping mine. '90 90Q-20V 160K '91 200Q-20V 210K '02 A6 2.7T 6spd 70K '88 Ford "Quatro" Tractor Other Misc. Toys 03-23-2006, 04:03 PM Has anyone had serious problems after the check engine light flashed multiple times ? Audi said that if it didnt just come on but it flashed first it means to stop the car instantly and get it towed in...serious or no... let me know
Does anyone know a way to update a property set definition programatically? Or via a toolpalette tool.... I see there is with schedules for instance a right-click option to import a schedule style to update it... but I can't find a way to do this with property set definitions. This would be in AutoCAD Arch (or MEP) 2012 or 2013... I don't know how to do this programmaticcally but as a workaround in Style Manager, if you have the source file open together with the destination file(s) it is easy to copy and paste the PSD form source to destination. I assume by update you mean attach to an object automatically? There is a whole sample file in the VB.net or C#.net Samples Directiory that deals with property sets and how to attach them to objects. You would just need to create an event handler that will fire off whenever an object is created so you could programmatically attach the property set. I am not sure if this is available using LISP or not. Maybe looking at the .NET code could get you started in the right direction though. This functionality is also availble for ObjectARX. No ... The set is already attached to the object. I mean if the property set was modified in a standards 'library' dwg and it needed to be redefined / updated in the dwg where it is being used. I ran across this command... AecApplyToolPSD when attempt to run it... I get 'This command can only be run from the tool system.' I tried putting it in a command tool on a tool palette... and I got the same. I think this might hold a possible way to import a revised property set definition. Any idease how this can get into the 'tool system' in a way I might be able to experiment with it? A Tag Tool has properties that allow you to specify one or more Property Sets (from a source file) and have them applied to an object (whether or not a Tag is added, and, if a Tag is added, whether or not the Tag references the Property Set(s)). Perhaps the AecApplyToolPSD command is what is behind this action (I do not know for certain). I would think that this would follow the usual rules and would only import a Property Set from the source file if the target file did not already have a Property Set of the same name already defined, otherwise, the local definition would be used. So it would not appear likely that this could be used to update a Property Set definition. Right clicking on a Tag Tool offers the option to just attach the Property Sets, but it does not have a choice to re-import the Property Sets. Sounds like that would be a good wish - assuming that the response from Autodesk would not be to use Project Navigator and Project Standards.
When I exported my project to AutoCAD, the 1/8" text from Revit exported as 5/32". This happened with multiple different text sizes across the project. Has anyone else had this issue? Other examples i have ssin in my project: 3” is exporting as 3 9/16” 1.5” is exporting as 1 25/32” 1” is exporting as 1 3/16” My Suggestion is: Please check the Unit (inch) and Text treatment (Maintain functional fidelity) when you export the revit project. See the attached jpg. Units are set to inches and I have tried both options for text treatment. same results either way. Just curious have you had this issue and did that fix it for you?
I am trying to run a "Analyse Non Lineaire" on a model that include seismic loading. (see attached) I have some problems : - I have around 10 on 47 seimic combination that have NO "convergence" - I don't no if there is a report where the calculation errors are written on to debug - the seismic cases without vertical dead load is "converging". No sense. - the ground reaction presure is not true on combination that includes seismic loads (I found manually unfavorable presure) Thanks for helping Solved! Go to Solution. Sorry it's fine now, I had a problem on my Newmark combinations. Somebody now why when modal sismic analysis is running on a non linear model the combination are linear for all of those that includes sismic case. Combination without modal sismic cases inside are non-linear combinations. Other problem : the seismic cases : Robot doesn't take into acount the uplift free in these loading cases, isn't it? I think Robot is wrong. It is very dangerous. I can I solve the problem? Maybe If I convert manually each load into an horizontal static load for run my model in static non-linear only? I attach the last model for exemple If you find your post answered press the Accept as Solution button please. This will help other users to find solutions much faster. Thank you. It is exactly what I need to confirm my doubts. Thanks a lot I also understand now problem métallic frame analysis I had in the past. It is quite dangerous ! calculation is runing well without any warnings. I am usual to make a separate model to design my rafts. It is fine.
Here is a classic operation by British intelligence monitoring IRA/Sinn Fein leaders through the use of the humble chauffeur! The leader, his driver and the driver's handler: chauffeur revealed as MI5 agent http://politics.guardian.co.uk/northern ... 01,00.html Â· Latest mole in Sinn Fein drove Gerry Adams Â· Roy McShane taken into protective custody Henry McDonald, Ireland correspondent Saturday February 9, 2008 MI5 took one of Gerry Adams' personal drivers into protective custody yesterday after the man, Roy McShane, was unmasked as a British agent. It is understood MI5 advised him to leave his west Belfast home after it emerged that an internal IRA investigation found he had been working for the British for more than a decade. McShane was part of a pool of drivers for senior republican leaders from the time of the IRA's first ceasefire in 1994. He was one of the Sinn FÃ©in president's drivers during one of the most politically important periods of the Irish peace process, the run-up to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. The unmasking of yet another British agent inside the republican movement in Belfast is an embarrassment for Sinn FÃ©in and an indication of the depths to which the security forces penetrated the organisation in the latter years of the Troubles. A security source said MI5 was so concerned to get the man out quickly that he had to leave behind his wife and family. But Sinn FÃ©in, who said McShane had never been a party member, emphasised he was "not under any threat from republicans". Republican sources said he was not party to sensitive information and added that there had been a cloud of suspicion over him for some time. He had recently stopped working as a driver for the party. Alex Maskey, Sinn FÃ©in's assembly member for South Belfast, said McShane had confessed to his family that he was working for the British security forces. Trying to play down McShane's significance, Maskey said: "I see him under no threat from republicans. The war is over. We made steps sometime ago to remove him from his position as a driver, but we didn't have specific evidence against him." He said McShane was safe to return and the affair had been "extremely distressing" for his family. The smaller nationalist party at Stormont, the SDLP, said last night this latest unmasking of another agent underlined the need for a full inquiry into the role of informers operating in organisations such as the IRA. Alex Attwood, the party's assembly member for West Belfast, said: "It will come as no surprise that it has now come out that yet another member of the movement, who drove for leading members of Sinn FÃ©in, was working for the security forces. "But what we now need to know is how high and how deep in Sinn FÃ©in and other parts of the Provisional movement the penetration by police, army and security services agents went. "We need to know the full extent of collusion between republican and loyalist groups and the security forces, and we need to know the full price of such collusion in terms of human life." This latest mole is understood to have worked as a pool driver for Adams at the same time as the security services were bugging a car which transported Martin McGuinness to and from negotiations. The late Mo Mowlam, then Northern Ireland secretary, had authorised the bugging of a car driven by IRA intelligence officer Martin "Duckster" Lynch throughout 1997 and 1998. Lynch's job was to take McGuinness, now Northern Ireland's deputy first minister, to talks with British and Irish ministers as well as other political parties prior to the Good Friday deal. After the deal there were further revelations that senior republicans had been working as British agents. In December 2005 Denis Donaldson, then head of Sinn FÃ©in's administration at Stormont, was forced to confess publicly that for more than two decades he had been working for the British security forces, firstly for RUC special branch and then for MI5. He was shot dead near Glenties, Co Donegal in April 2006. McShane was part of a pool of drivers established by the republican movement from the time of the IRA's first ceasefire in 1994. The pool was headed by Adams' confidant the late Terence "Cleeky" Clarke. Among those whom McShane worked with on the car pool was Paul "Chico" Hamilton, once named as the chief of the IRA section which carried out so-called punishment attacks and shootings. Stakeknife, claimed to be Freddie Scappaticci, was one of the most important British agents working inside the IRA. He was head of IRA counter-intelligence whose job it was to smoke out informers but was in fact a top British spy. Scappaticci has denied he was a spy. Denis Donaldson Confidant of Gerry Adams who rose up through republicans ranks to run Sinn FÃ©in at Stormont. Accused of deliberately deselecting candidates whose loyalty to Adams was in doubt. As Sinn FÃ©in's international spokesman had links with Hizbullah and the PLO. All the time working for both RUC special branch and MI5. Sean O'Callaghan Former IRA southern commander who thwarted a number of bombings attacks in Britain for both the Garda SÃochÃ¡na and RUC special branch. "Kevin Fulton" Former British soldier from south Armagh sent into the IRA by his handlers. "Fulton" has described how he worked for the security forces while helping to upgrade IRA bomb-making technology. He bugged arms dumps, the homes of south Armagh republicans and de-activated weapons. Martin McGartland aka Agent Carol, a special branch informer working inside the IRA's Belfast brigade. His book Fifty Dead Men Walking has now been made into a film. PS: I advocate the essential viewing of this splendid film,"The lives of others",the Academy Award winning film about a Stasi operation during the Cold War.It is simply riveting.It teaches you that no place is safe to speak,even the most unlikely and to remember the ancient adage,"into a closed mouth,entereth no fly".

Got your rant. Felt sorry. Felt guilty. Looked for method to send message. Cursed e-mail. Looked up other comic. Went to other comic's forum. Posted pity post. I also don't normally write/talk without nouns, but when I started, I couldn't stop! Sorry.<P>Well, I'm here. I didn't read JFC, but I tried to. I just learned about webcomics too late in the scheme of things (last september or so) and when I tried reading the archives, I just couldn't get into it.

* GO TO THE LAST PAGES, THAT IS WHERE THE NEWEST STUFF APPEARS!* Hi there everyone! After finishing a seminar Concept Art on school, my teachers Floris Didden and David Smit convinced me to start a sketchbook here on CA.org. So here are some scraps. Mostly are made in class or public transport. The best places to let your thoughts wander, I guess.
Well, hello there! I'm brand new, a sapling (just a sprout), to this site/forum. While I work on reading/viewing the overwhelming amount of talent here, I thought I'd post the start of my sketchbook. I've been drawing for 5-6 years now, off and on, but have recently begun to expand from traditional art into digital art. Now that I've graduated University, I'm aiming to develop my skills so that I can become a professional. I plan to take this next year developing my portfolio. Here are some recent works, more can be seen on my Deviantart. I will be posting sketches and my WIPs here from now on. Let me know what you think~

Buying used galaxy s3 Quick question. I'm on the bell network and I'm thinking about buying an s3 to use. Do I need to buy a specific model or can I use any on the bell network as long as its unlocked? - CrackBerry Genius 02-12-2013, 08:16 AM #2 - 2,228 Posts If im not mistaken, when unlocked they should all work on the bell network. The only thing is the T999 version (ex:the videotron S3) does not support LTE so I would stick to the SGH-I747 version if you want/need LTE. The I747 version will not work on Videotron because of the 1700 band though. - By timbales1 in forum BlackBerry Curve 83xxReplies: 8Last Post: 01-01-2009, 12:53 PM - By BTsee in forum BlackBerry Curve 83xxReplies: 2Last Post: 12-18-2008, 02:28 PM - By drquenneville in forum IntroductionsReplies: 5Last Post: 12-08-2008, 08:04 PM - By jaykav99 in forum BlackBerry StormReplies: 7Last Post: 10-28-2008, 09:23 AM - By wxjeremy in forum BlackBerry 8830 WEReplies: 10Last Post: 01-16-2008, 07:09 PM
- 01-10-2013, 08:23 PM #7 Re: Possibility of putting final BB10 software on the Dev Alpha's? I sure, after the kill date, RIM will blacklist the Dev Alpha PINs so it will stop features from working. They've blocked PINs before.RuneCryption - Unique memory game for PlayBook & BB10. - 01-10-2013, 11:13 PM #9 theyve already stated these devices will be killed in some way shape or form, so no it`ll never happen. also if ya wanna try make a phone call with the dev alpha A then good luck lol, doesnt have a microphone haha - CrackBerry Addict 01-11-2013, 12:55 PM #11 - 599 Posts Possibility of putting final BB10 software on the Dev Alpha's? I doubt it will be very useful as a functional device for day to day use, even with a full OS. Battery is probably not all that high capacity either. Someone mentioned no microphone but that is untrue. My Dev Alpha A had a mic and I tried it with a few apps that displayed sound input detection so I know it worked. I don't know if the SIM slot actually ever worked, did anyone use it for making calls? May make a good media player and web browser, and to play games. But RIM can easily kill it by eliminating the Dev Alpha "app store" and we don't know whether any new OS installed will detect the hardware and refuse to run (or identify it so no matter what your Dev Alpha cannot be masked).

Unlike android where its open sourced and easy this isn't the case here. In addition, that would technically be illegal (Read the EULA especially in regards to tampering with the device and its software). - 01-12-2013, 12:22 PM #14 I'm not sure why all the comments about the mic etc. I'm running an internal version of close to final software and the phone features work fine, albeit with not so good battery life. My colleague is using the dev B and he's essentially using it as his main phone right now, also on an unreleased close to final software. Btw there are 2 mics afaik, the one on top is for noise cancelling/note taking - 01-12-2013, 03:17 PM #15 Just to clarify, I'm on the original dev alpha. Batt life is alright but not great. My colleague on the alpha b is getting batt life on par with average smartphone expectations. Personally I'm hoping us users of the internal builds won't get devices bricked (get special access as our user base is in the millions). Only time will tell as they haven't really said much to us on this. - 01-12-2013, 04:41 PM #17 Marketing for a large developer. Don't code but got my dev alpha at the Orlando jam. The guy who said its a small play book is spreading misinformation. The original dev alpha was supposed to be a production device that never made it due to delays/changes in plan. It's code name was the blackberry colt. The dev alpha b is the same hardware as the soon to be launched device albeit with a different housing. - 01-12-2013, 06:23 PM #18 im not spreading misinformation thanks, there is NO visible microphone on the bottom of the dev alpha A, thats not even up for debate tbh lol. Also just so you dont spread misinformation, the dev alpha B is NOT the same hardware as the launch device, its already been confirmed that there will be 2Gb RAM in the touch device, which isnt in the dev alpha B. also you mention you get special access because your userbase is in the millions, but thats not just something for you, many many other devs are in that boat (myself included) but we all play by the same rules. simply put, if ya want a working device, make an app, submit it to the LE tradeup and get a LE phone. - 01-12-2013, 08:37 PM #19 The Dev A and B can both record video with audio, means there ARE microphones there. Regardless if you can see it or not, they are there. There is a possibility that the software from the L series will work on the other devices, but it will definitely have a performance hit. Keep in mind that RIM HAS shown BB10 software on the Dev devices, so it obviously CAN be done. It is likely a custom build, but it does work.~S_A - 01-12-2013, 10:27 PM #20 - 01-13-2013, 03:58 AM #21 Sigh. There are 2 mics on the dev a, and it works fine as a phone. if you have access to the internal software you'd realise you are talking a load of rubbish. Sure the other devices in my company will be traded up, but not all of them, and since I'm not a coder I'm likely to be stuck with the dev alpha until I'm given a production device (the devs get priority for obvious reasons). At least be a gentleman and admit it when you are clearly wrong. You also fail to understand that things like memory size is not a huge hardware change. The hardware platform however is identical to what will be launched. It is naive to think that rim treats all developers the same. The more critical of a partner you are the more they bend over backwards to give you perks.especially at this point in time where they need as much dev support as possible. I can't go into details without revealing confidential information. Last edited by afhstingray; 01-13-2013 at 04:45 AM. - 01-13-2013, 08:52 AM #23 It works fine for phone calls. If you have evidence that there is no mic for phone calls, please present it. As you made that assertion, the burden of proof is on you. And im sorry mate, just claiming you cant see the mic dont mean it aint there. Do you even have one of these devices? And by the way, at the dev alpha launch at blackberry world 2012 in Orlando, they did give demos on the dev a's. I'm sure other people who attended can verify that here. during the sessions they even hooked the devices themselves up to projectors for demos. Not to mention that the dev alpha was originally slated to be the first bb10/qnx based phone. Remember colt, Milan, and London? We now know only the London made the cut and is what the dev b is. Dev a is the colt. - 01-13-2013, 10:01 AM #24 - By Andrew4life in forum BlackBerry 10 Dev DevicesReplies: 18Last Post: 01-22-2013, 11:28 AM - By SCrid2000 in forum BlackBerry 10 Dev DevicesReplies: 11Last Post: 09-20-2012, 05:56 PM - By SCrid2000 in forum BlackBerry 10 Dev DevicesReplies: 4Last Post: 06-20-2012, 09:12 PM - By sebastianlovestheplaybook in forum BlackBerry Z10Replies: 3Last Post: 05-07-2012, 10:31 AM - By lund in forum BlackBerry 10 Dev DevicesReplies: 10Last Post: 05-02-2012, 04:37 PM
Cannot Add Then Cancel Record In VB6 & Access 2003 I am using VB6 with Access 2003. I must of done something because all of a sudden I cannot add a record and cancel it without causing an error. Here is my code: strCnn = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=myMDB.mdb" Set adoPrimaryRS = New Recordset adoPrimaryRS.CursorLocation = adUseServer strPrimarySQL = "select casename,renldate,product,fundingcode, * from Client " & " order by casename, renldate, product, fundingcode" adoPrimaryRS.Open strPrimarySQL, cnn1, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic When I want to add a record: If Not (.BOF Or .EOF Or .RecordCount = 0) Then mvBookMark = .Bookmark mvBookMark = 0 I cancel a record by: If adoPrimaryRS.RecordCount = 0 Then If mvBookMark > 0 Then adoPrimaryRS.Bookmark = mvBookMark If I then go to a previous record I get an "Operation Canceled" error message on the moveprevious statement. If Not adoPrimaryRS.BOF Then If adoPrimaryRS.BOF And adoPrimaryRS.RecordCount > 0 Then 'moved off the end so go back This makes no sense to me because it was working fine 2 weeks ago. I reinstalled MDAC_TYP,EXE. What would cause this to happen. I also repaired the database several times without any success. It seems like a corrupted file someplace but for the life of me I can't figure out which one. Are there any other errors in the Errors collection of the Connection object? Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic) When I do the addnew, in cnn1.error(0) I get "No such interface supported". Then when I get to the CancelUpdate command I get "Operation was canceled" Last edited by mark1110; 05-07-2007 at 01:37 PM.

Free keeper league has an opening. Must act quickly! We have a spot that just opened up in our league, which has been running for nearly 20 years now. The league is head to head games against each other person, based on real NHL results each week, with a regular season, then 3 rounds of playoffs after that. Each season you keep 5 players from last year, then draft 15 new ones. You need to have certain numbers of forwards, defence, and goalies. Skaters get 2 points for a goal, 1 point for an assist. Goalies roughly get points for saves, lose points for goals allowed. What makes the league fun is that you choose which specific games you want for your players, rather than get all their points. So you'll name Mario against the Islanders on Tuesday, and so forth. This is all done in a simple fill in the blanks web form, so it's super easy to prepare each week. The web page system keeps track of all your players, the scores, the schedules, the standings, etc. We have a live draft on January 13th that takes about 3 hours. If you're interested, visit the web page at http://www.ucfhl.com/ and log in with and check it out. You can see the rosters, results and scores from last season. You can read the rules to see how scoring is counted, which you'll want to do to make sure you draft well. To confirm that you are interested, either PM me here, or log in at ucfhl.com and send a private message to the user Commish with your real name, email address, etc. The draft is tomorrow, so time is of the essence. However, we will be autodrafting, so anyone who is still interested can take over the team at any time. All spots are claimed. Turns out one replacement didn't follow through, and we still have one spot available. The Turbobags team has been drafted already, so you would have Kesler, Getzlaf, Eriksson, Semin, Marleau, Quick, E. Kane and more on your team. The time commitment on this league is very light, a couple of minutes a week at this point. Brush your teeth, update your fantasy team. http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/im...ilies/laff.gif I'd love to hear from someone soon on this. We can autorun the team, but the longer we do that the worse the team gets. Seems like this board is almost entirely people looking for owners, but no actual players are around. Anyway, the team is still available. They're currently in a playoff spot, 5th place, 2 wins -1 loss, and Marleau is leading the league in scoring. Think you can do better than random? Contact me. \|All times are GMT -4. The time now is 03:14 AM.\| Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.8.4 Copyright ©2000 - 2013, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Just setup a FC4 box at work to play with, but im getting some weird happenings with the ethernet. If I have the ethernet plugged in and bring up the adapter it tells me the IP Address is already in use, when I know it isnt, and to prove this I have used about three different IP's on a Testing Range we use to build up new PC's. The only way i seem to be able to get the box on the network is to bring up the adapter before inserting the ethernet cable, then the networking works quite happily. But thats not great if I need to restart the box remotely. Also the default gateway rule never seems to stay to what I set it too. I have tried three different network cards also. Im guessing its a fault with the network itself but im clueless to what technically could be the problem.

"You can't always get what you waaaant, No you can't always get what you waaaant." Usually it just infuriates them more, but it gives us a good laugh anyways! LOL!

After about 7 minutes wait it went to the Home Screen but without response from the remote (I changed in a new battery too.) Then it went to the screensaver and stayed stuck on that. It refused to soft-reboot. I could not restore it either as iTunes (via Micro-USB cable) on my Macbook would not recognize the ATV2. (I tried all kinds of permutations and two Micro-USB cables.) So I tried putting the ATV2 in DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode using iTunes in Windows 7 (Pro) on Parallels (7). This worked. If you have access to a Windows machine- even better. Here is How to Put the Apple TV into DFU Mode: (I had to try variations on this to get iTunes to see the ATV2 in Devices.) Note: You will need a Micro-USB cable to connect your AppleTV with iTunes-for-Windows running. Step 1: Connect the ATV2 via Micro-USB to computer. Step 2: Hold menu+down for 6 seconds to reboot. (As that did not work for me I had to disconnect/reconnect power instead.) Step 3: Then immediately hold Menu+Play (on the ATV2 remote) to go into DFU mode. (Rapid flashing followed by less rapid flashing.) It (eventually after restarting iTunes, Windows etc) showed up in iTunes/Devices just like an iPhone etc. I then had to babysit the update as there are a number of messages to be OK-ed, and, at one time, iTunes for Mac began starting up.) Back to normal (for now.) This process was tenuous and required patience - I almost gave up trying to get iTunes to see the device. [There's probably a hardware issue on some devices (different vendors?). Apple should exchange these defective units for refurbished ones. After all it's their software update that broke the units.]
Yeah. I hate the limit too, just a part of scouts. Ah, okay. Are you apart of the plains or is it just apart of the scouts? The dance is for a thing in Scouts called Mic-O-Say, which is based off of the tribes of the Plains Indians, and just becoming a member is in itself an honor. The award is the Yellow Coup, which is given to any tribesmen who has attended 3 dances and 3 dance practices. I only need one more practice, so I would get the coup if the dance were Sunday, which is when we have our practices, but it isn't, so I will have to wait until the next dance to get it. What kind of Award? And the dance? Yah, if onoly Algebra 2 weren't so boring. Although, I have this "dance" of sorts on Saturday that will be pretty fun, only problem is, if it were on Sunday I would get a little award, but oh well. Darn this limit! Hmm... What are your other plans? highschool. points to age Please do! LOVE that game. Freshman of highschool or college? Well, other than that freshman year will take orever, not too bad. And WildARMS huh? I'll go check it out... eventually.

If so, please let me know and I will stay away from this forum. Apr 4, 2003, 08:12 AM You guys should do something like that for C/C++ development too! That would be soo cool! :) Apr 4, 2003, 10:22 AM It also looks as though it's not Mac OS X-compatible, which means that I'd have to re-boot to use it. There was no information on the product page, so I'm inclined to believe that it's a little behind the times even though it's very useful. Apr 4, 2003, 10:34 AM Hi "digital1" and "bousozoku": Thanks for your positive feedback! As for the C/C++ version that is a great idea. We will see how it fits in the feature list for further versions. In regards to MacOS X compatibility even though it is written as classic app it is totally functional in classic environment. You don't have to reboot to use it. Open the app and classic will open with BasaOne. That is the reason we went that way. As this app has been built on classes we developed some time ago for MacOS 8/9 it would have taken more time than we wanted to get a working product in Carbon/Cocoa. Nevertheless a "MacOS X native version" is written in the feature list for the next version with bold capital letters ;-) On a side note, during the development of BasaOne we have always been working in MacOS X which we think is a great product and have tested the application in classic compatibility mode. A reboot into classic has never been necessary. Apr 4, 2003, 11:50 AM I nuked my (os 9) 'System Folder' long ago... Oh well, life goes on. vBulletin® v3.8.6, Copyright ©2000-2013, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Posted 05 June 2006 - 04:19 AM Posted 30 September 2010 - 12:28 AM I'm new to houdini 11 and am in the "look at what everyone else did to figure it out" phase. This file, while seemingly awesome from the title, breaks when opened up. If someone can tell me (or point me in the right direction) how to fix it I'd love you for life. My starter goal was a crack running down the middle of a surface that I can control via waypoints. I figured it was sufficiently ambitious to learn Houdini with and thought this file would give me a good solid start. Posted 01 October 2010 - 06:19 PM I mean this is the thing What Houdini can do!! I see many people who jus stick to use fluid and stuff without enough knowledge SOP I would say Im still learning. But, To know this kind of tricks is really powerful and useful for any other stuff(Ideally) in Houdini right!? 0 user(s) are reading this topic 0 members, 0 guests, 0 anonymous users
I've been on a new protocal with a new naturopathic doc who had my spit and stools tested.That was fun. The results were low adrenals(they always came back normal with a cbc test) and incredibly high intolerence to gluten(never had a gluen test). It's been almost 2 weeks and I started to feel the results of what she put me on yesterday.I haven't had that much energy in quite awhile.I wasn't symptom free but it was damn good.Can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve for the next event. What I wanted to say.. Blog entry posted by alice1, Jan 9, 2010.
First off you should at least know that I am smart enough to know that a strikeout is barely more detrimental in terms of net runs lost than a normal out. Something to the tune of -.011 runs different than a regular out. So I bring the question up for this reason. Is it conceivable that if a player like lets say Adam Dunn were to strikeout less he would be much more valuable. After two strikes for Dunn's career he has a 152/278/306/584 line. It gets even worse when you look at Dunn with 2 strikes and less than 3 balls. He has approximately (I say approximately cuz I did the math) a 135/133/264/397 line given those parameters. Dunn is very good before 2 strikes (377/495/807/1.303), and even a very good one with a full count (195/497/418/915). So what would happen if Dunn were to try to make more contact on 0-2,1-2 and 2-2 counts. I am not saying become Juan Pierre, but just widen the strike zone a little bit. Dunn makes doesnt make very good contact (71.4%), but you would think even if he were able to cut down on maybe 30% of those strike outs I think he would be okay. Dunn has struck out 1044 times in situations with 2 strikes and < 3 balls. So if we cut that down to lets say 700 times. Now if he could do that with say a 275 BABIP it would give him an extra 35 hits. Raise his BA up 20 points in doing so also raise his OPS up to a .437. Not a lot, but thats only a 30% decrease in Ks. Cut it in half and his OPS is up to around 500. Or a 25% increase from where it was. Dunn sucks in those situations (most players do), but if he became a little more aggressive only in those situations it could pay off a little for him. The more I got into this the more I realized it probably isn't worth it, but we haven't had much discussion in here so I thought I might as well leave it up. So do you think a batter should maybe change their ways and become a little more aggressive with 2 strikes and less than 3 balls. Or should they just stay the same no matter what?
Have you ever been intimidated on the basketball court? Never. Not at all. My mind doesn’t work that way. It’s something that’s never even entered my thought process. The last time I was intimidated was when I was 6 years old in karate class. I was an orange belt and the instructor ordered me to fight a black belt who was a couple years older and a lot bigger. I was scared s---less. I mean, I was terrified and he kicked my ass. But then I realized he didn’t kick my ass as bad as I thought he was going to and that there was nothing really to be afraid of. That was around the time I realized that intimidation didn’t really exist if you’re in the right frame of mind. Usually self-appointed nicknames don’t really stick, but Black Mamba has had real staying power. Well, actually I didn’t come up with it. I think I was playing ball in the park in New York and they just started calling me that, and it just stuck. Who would you most like to play one-on-one, either active or retired? Jordan. No question. What would happen? I’m not sure, but he would win some and I would win some in a seven-game series. It would probably come down to the last few shots. You versus LeBron? Who wins? Me. No question. As far as one-on-one, I’m the best to ever do it. Damn. That’s pretty confident. LeBron is a terrific all-around, five-on-five basketball player who’s an all-time great. But I’d get him. Who could get you? Kevin Durant is the guy that would give me the most trouble. With his length and ability to use the dribble, he’d be tough. I always wanted to see you play Tracy McGrady. I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn’t even close. Ask him, he’ll tell you. When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball every day. We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn’t play anymore. http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom ... ron-django Like I said, must-read and great stuff
I'm not really sure how Relic goes about implementing their projectiles. This way may be completely inefficient and may actually not work in game. I do recall asking at some point how to go about putting in projectiles and I thought I remembered the answer being much more involved then the route I took. In fact, this is probably the easiest of the tutorials (assuming you've done the other two so you have some familiarity with the FX system). While more of a placeholder projectile, this is our final product: A bit tought to see from the picture but he is actually "throwing" (in his punching motion) the single cube in a straight line. First (and really last) thing we are going to need is our spray. If you've ever fired up the default spray you may have noticed its nothing but a bunch of cube projectiles. Limit it to one and straighten 'er out....and we may have ourselves a projectile. If you watch the default spray you'll notice that it initially starts out in a straight line and then kind of breaks out. Well, the first thing we need to change is we need to keep it in a straight line the whole time. Click Emitter_Deviation and change the last Keyframe from 180.0 to 0.0. Once you have that set and you click Play again, you'll notice that the spray is going up in a straight line. Now, I know you are immediately jumping to the Emitter_Rate and dropping it to 1.0. Even after doing this though you'll notice its still firing off more than one projectile. The reason is that you've set the spray to 1.0 projectile per second, and the spray is lasting for more than one second. So we need to also change the Emitter_Duration to something under 1 second (.5 seconds...) You may notice that the projectile isnt the speediest moving thing ever. A quick change of both Particle_Speed Keyframes (beginning and ending keyframe) to 100.0 seems to zip it along fairly quickly. This is definately a field that can use some tweaking as I have no idea how fast a projectile should be set for (you could also make it start slow and pick up momentum...) With that done go ahead and save it and fire up the Object Editor. Load up the henchman and jump into the Event Editor. Our NewMelee Settings: marker: bip01 r hand Thats about it. The animtime is set to .68 to coincide with when hes at the peak of his fist movement...everything else is pretty standard from other tutorials. Now, if you didnt want a cube as a projectile (who wouldnt want a cube?!?) you could create a mesh, load up a new Ring, select your mesh from the "Mesh" option, save it, and then load that ring into the spray. Thats about it...pretty easy and straight forward.
Average non-crit for DS was about 1350 with a deadly grace of 1350 X 0.51 = 689, a total of 2038 damage. So, let's say a warrior has 70% ish crit in a raid. Dual Strike deals 2038 average non-crit damage with 70% chance to deal 3534 Rising Waterfall has 100% chance to deal 3142 I'm assuming we could find an average overall damage for Dual Strike and compare it to Rising Waterfall So... Let's obtain the difference between 3534 and 2038 and add 70% of it to 2038. 2038 + (3534 - 2038)x0.7 = 3085 3142 > 3085 SO using Rising Waterfall when Paired Strike buff is up is better than a pure DS spam. Unless my math are rusty ! If you're higher than 70% though...I suppose it becomes bad. Also, the comparison gets bigger with lower point in the tree.
The new SmartScreen Filter in IE 8 should improve this even further by detecting most malware before it ever reaches the filing system. IEBlog: IE8 Security Part IX - Anti-Malware protection with IE8’s SmartScreen Filter Spybot S&D Immunize by default places the same entires in the Hosts file, but I don't use that either. As with the current issue with Restricted Sites, large Hosts file lists often create peformance issues, though usually only on Windows 2000 and older systems that lack resources. The more common issue is with many current anti-virus products which contain monitoring features that partially conflict with such large files, causing their own performance issues.Then, why not just take the Restricted Sites Zone option, since, what you mention, would be better to place at the HOSTS file, which would prevent anything in the system to connect to that domain. But, what the Restricted Sites Zone offers, that the HOSTS file lacks, is the capability of adding domains like .bad-domain. com. By placing a , the user would be blocking access to any domain within the domain .bad-domain. com, and not just to the main one. So, such feature and such entries, are, in my most opinion, useful, and waste no resources. Most important, provide an extra layer of security. As I stated earlier, all lists which are searched linearly will create some overhead, the only question is how much. Unless either the PC is very high performance or the lists are indexed like a database, performance will eventually suffer, it's simply a matter of at what quantity it will become noticeable. The developers who are 'stuffing' these lists programatically don't want to hear that Microsoft doesn't support this, but they need to.This info my be useful to some person, digging through this thread. Not to me, though. But, thanks. I'll give you some of this, since what I should have said is that UAC isn't a 'security boundary', it's merely an alerting system tied to the process elevation ability. However, UAC itself desn't create the Protected Mode, it merely enables it to function within a Standard account to provide the security. Here's the key elements and a link to the complete explanation.Actually, it is a security mechanism. When UAC is enabled, it will also enable the Protected Mode in IE7 and IE8, in Windows Vista and Windows 7. This will decrease what IE can do in the system. UAC is also a good way to know when something is requiring elevated rights to do important changes in the system. Let's imagine that some user would open an e-mail, and, UAC alert for something. "Houston, we have problem.". So, UAC is much more than just an annoyance.

But, this are people, who get, perhaps, their first system. Are not even aware of the existing dangers. But, the main problem here, are the IT professionals. They don't alert the costumers for that very same fact. They just install a free and crippled antivirus, and that's it, pretty much. Last year, a relative of mine, bought a computer (New computer user), and the folks where this computer was bought, only installed a free and crippled antivirus. They didn't care to explain how to update it. They haven't enabled UAC. They also didn't explain how to work with it, obvisiouly. To make things a lot worse, they didn't create a normal user account. Actually, though I agree with your general discussion here, I wouldn't call these 'IT professionals', they're mostly sales people and often just kids. In any case, their primary job is to get the buyer out of the store and not have them calling to ask questions, so security is of little concern to them. If they do things like turn on UAC or provide Standard accounts, most users would complain or call the store for help, so they take the easy out. This isn't surprising and is just a portion of the symptoms of a dysfunctional computer industry that's based on selling the box rather than the services that are really needed by most customers. Unfortunately the US consumer himself is the problem here, since he wants to buy the box cheap and not pay anything for support, so he gets exactly what he paid for. I'm not saying the system you're trying to use isn't simple enough, but is it really the most effective? If you're deciding to stay with IE 7 to keep the Spybot S&D Immunizations then you're missing the improved security features included in IE 8.Yes, I agree. That security should be simple, that is. But, just because one makes use of a layered security, that doesn't mean it isn't simple. One can just make use of a very complex Intrusion Prevention System. But, would it be simple, then? I know you'd rather have both, but the discussion here has asssumed that for some they appear to be mutually exclusive, at least until the perfomance problem has been resolved.
Re: Steeler's most indispensable player? Let me point out something that may not be obvious here... Notice that we are actually discussion not one, not two.. but three or four guys here. Some could still argue that it would be Ward, what with his leadership skills and blocking down field. This is after we lost Jerome after last year, Porter this year, and probably Faneca next year... It sure says a lot about the team... and also about how the team is run. Anyone now upset that we didn't dump all that money into just one or two players?

(Facility has since shut down and they have moved on.) Glad to know you managed to find a non-troll when it comes to supporters of my team. I am sure there are a fair share of classless fans from every team in the NFL, I just so happen to meet a lot of Browns fans who have nothing good to add to a conversation about football. I have seen your posts though, and I appreciate fans like you from any team. Just wanted to shout out to my friend who did that for me, and the fact the he is a classy respectful football fan, while still hating my team :P
