By Shawna on 5/1/2014 Shawna would recommend this product to a friend This reactor is easy to set up and use, water is as clear as can be. Thanks BRS for another great product. Great product By Ante on 4/28/2014 Ante would recommend this product to a friend This is another awesome product by BRS. Easy wet up and well built. Remover if you when you run the reactor or punt new media in it to was the media out so no dust get into your display Great and can't beat the price! By Monica on 4/25/2014 Monica would recommend this product to a friend I was buying chemipure elite every few months and realized it's cheaper if I buy a reactor and some carbon and gfo. Well I did and haven't regretted it since. Great construction, no leaks, can take a licking if it bangs up against ur stand or where ever u place it. Easy to use and I just love it. Excellent! By Eli on 4/3/2014 Eli would recommend this product to a friend Reactor is extremely well built and you can't lose at that price. Great option for a reactor. Great Product By Nicholas on 3/25/2014 Nicholas would recommend this product to a friend I run GFO/Carbon together and this product makes it very easy to have them tumbling accordingly. I would highly recommend this! I like it! By Steve on 3/19/2014 Steve would recommend this product to a friend I love the BRS reactor, it's well built and seems to be made to last - the cartridge though is just OK. I don't like how difficult it is to get the top off. The little pin sticking out of the top is not very easy to get a good grip on and I hate using tools to pull on it for fear of it breaking. Having said that, I still think it's worth 4 stars! great for the money! By Kris on 3/18/2014 Kris would recommend this product to a friend I bought just the reactor, no pump. I have three of these now that I use for various media. I really like them and the price is right! Very helpful unit By Jake on 3/13/2014 Jake would recommend this product to a friend I was having an issue with cyano bacteria. Thankfully, after doing some research, I came across this nifty unit. Not only is it well priced but I love the fact that it is bulk reef supplies own model because you know when you are buying something from them, it'll be a quality product. Love the adjustable features as well as the online calculator, that makes for a perfect gfo system! Good Reactor, beware of pump By Bryan on 3/7/2014 Bryan would recommend this product to a friend The reactor does what it should. The MJ1200 pump however went out in three months. My advice is to get the reactor, buy your own pump. Good, but not perfect... By Michael on 3/2/2014 Michael would recommend this product to a friend So, these things are pretty awesome. I have to admit that I haven't used any of the other skimmer models (other than the aqua-gadget for the Nani Nuvo 16), but this thing is inexpensive and easy to use. It is a little cumbersome if you don't trim any excess to your hoses, and even then you might want to buy some elbow fittings to make it easier to place the pump and return where you want. No biggie, though. The reason it gets three stars is because with every one of these that I own, only half of the cartridge gets flow. When I tumble GFO I can only get stuff on one side moving. This makes me wonder if I'm not utilizing all the GFO I'm using, and that's a big waste of money...and extremely irritating. This is something that BRS should address, either by letting us know that it's no by deal and the flow seems greater on the intake side, or lets us know it's not supposed to do that so I know o get a replacement cartridge. Great product! By barby on 2/24/2014 barby would recommend this product to a friend Product is very easy to install and I recommend it as it has eliminated 95% of the algae problem I had in my tanks. I have recently purchased #2 more. Thank you!!! Built to last By Bryan on 2/3/2014 Bryan would recommend this product to a friend Very easy to install the single reactor using my own pump. Comes with valve (which you will need) and all plumbing which makes a hassle free install.

In the world of Corvettes, some are known as "first and last" cars. That's because they combine features that made their initial and final appearances during the same model year. Examples of that include the '62 Corvette, which was the first year for the 327-cube small-block V-8 but the last year of the first-generation Corvette platform; and the '65 Vette, whose standard-features list included four-wheel disc brakes for the first time (and a new big-block option come spring), and whose option sheet carried the last of the Rochester mechanically fuel-injected V-8s.
Another "first and last" year for the Corvette was 1981. The aging C3 platform got new features that included the first-ever onboard computer (Delco's "Computer Command Control" unit) and the first composite rear leaf spring, while the "lasts" included carburetors, manual transmissions (and the Turbo 350), as well as the St. Louis Assembly Plant itself.
That onboard computer, which controlled the air/fuel ratio and ignition timing, as well as tubular stainless-steel exhaust manifolds, had been California-only items in 1980. For '81, they were adapted to the Corvette's only available engine, the L81 195hp small-block V-8. Also, lightweight magnesium valve covers replaced the previous steel ones in the name of weight savings.
In back, the multi-leaf steel leaf-spring bundle that had been a Corvette mainstay since '63 was now gone. Replacing it was a new composite single-leaf spring that not only shaved some 33 pounds off the C3's tail end, but also did away with the leaf-on-leaf metal binding that resulted in ride harshness.
"Lasts" for the '81 Corvette included carburetors as well as the four-speed manual and Turbo 350 automatic transmissions. For '82, "Cross-Fire Injection" would replace the Rochester Quadrajet, and the 700R4 overdrive automatic would succeed the Turbo 350 as Corvette's automatic gearbox. Manual transmissions wouldn't reappear as factory Corvette features until after the '84 model run was underway.
Some might have thought that the lack of power options combined with a high base sticker price ($16,258) and steep-for the time-gas prices would mean a big drop-off from the 40,614 Vettes built in 1980. There was a drop, but only down to 40,606. That meant that there were still plenty of buyers for the "grand touring" car that Corvette had become during the '70s.
One of those, a customer living in North Carolina, bought a St. Louis-built, Charcoal Metallic-painted Vette, but drove it sparingly. It had just 24,000 miles on it when Mark Bremer found out about it in the late '90s. "I was looking for an '80-'82 Corvette, and I'd put an ad out on the Internet," says Bremer from his Benton, Arkansas, home. "A guy in Arizona contacted me, and he said, 'I know this lady in North Carolina who has this car.' So I called her and found out the car had been listed on eBay, but didn't sell."
Though an online ad put him in touch with the '81's owner, an old-fashioned film camera supplied the pictures that convinced Bremer to go see this one and find the mechanic who took care of it. "He told me that she had a great car, that she only drove it at about 45 miles an hour, and she only took one T-top off," he says. The C3 still wore its original tires, but those had become flat-spotted over time-a problem Mark corrected with a new set of 60-series radials after he bought the Vette, but before driving it home.
Like many vintage-Vette owners, Bremer looked at how to upgrade his newly bought treasure. He took a big step when he replaced the '81's original-equipment coil-spring front suspension with a composite transverse leaf-spring setup from Vette Brakes and Products (VBP). "That really made a lot of difference in the handling of the car," Bremer says. "It also took some weight off of it, and it allows me to set the ride height and stiffness on it, too."

Refuting a quantum mechanics theory
There is a fairly popular theory first developed in the 1950's I believe that states that the universe in which we are all accustomed to is only one of an infinite number of parallel universes and that because of the concept of locality and the act that, due to quantum mechanics, all particles (and essentially objects) can be at 2 or more places at the same time, these "other places" are actually other universes. Meaning that there are inifinite number of you and me doing all different things at the same time.
However, due to simple cause and effect logic, it appears that such a thing is impossible. Every action (or effect) that happens in the universe is governed by a cause. Essentially, I believe that all actions by myself, other people, animals, and inanimate objects can be traced back to the Big Bang itself. If all constituents of math and physics have fixed values, meaning things like gravitational constants, then everything, including brainfunction can be completely defined by a previous cause. All functions are manipulated by the environment around it, whether physically, emotionally, psychologically, or habitually, and because of this, it appears that there is only 1 single way that the space-time can unfold, through infinite number of causes and effects.
Overall, what I am saying is that it appears logical to say that if we could re-enact a big bang with 100% precision, that universe's history would be identical to ours in every single way.
What do you think about this theory?
An example I thought of was this:
Are there any scientific experiments that truly give randomized results given very precise initial conditions? If you do an experiment 1,000,000 times with every initial condition exactly the same, should you not get the same result every single time? This concept can be applied to the big bang's initial conditions
Jun 8 2011: There is a slight problem with your theory. The very idea that there be parallel universes for every other possible outcome of each and every experiment (if you believe this) arouse out of our inability to choose the outcome that will be part of "our" universe.
To simply describe what I'm saying here, consider the universe in 4 stages. Say, at every stage an event forces the universe to 'split' into two parallel universes, each for the two possible outcomes of that event.
Now at the first stage (after the first event) we have universes u1 and u2.
At the 2nd stage, you will have universe u11,u12,u21 and u22. For both universes split further with the second event that produces two possible outcomes
This will continue till we have on the 4th stage - u1111, u1112, u1121, u1122, u1211, u1212....and so on. A total of 2^4=16 universes! Imagine the number of quantum events that must be taking place - Zillions in a single second in a very small space! Multiply that with the amount of time passed since the Big Bang and the total space in the Universe (lazily assuming uniform distribution of particles and events), you'll get an approximate number of parallel universes created since then, AND the number of possible outcomes that each of those events had. With no way to know how which outcome was "our" universe.
So, to answer your question, there is not a single way that the space-time can unfold, but a multitude of ways! This is because every cause does not have a single effect, but multiple possibilities as effects.Jun 7 2011: Even if every action in the universe had only two outcomes (just like a coin toss), this wouldn't be true. Because each coin toss could either go one way or other and this alone could change the final result.
Jun 8 2011: Not if you could measure, air factors like velocity, pressure, humidity and forces applied to the coin during the toss. Given that information you could quite easily predict the outcome of every single toss. Therefore giving cause and effect.
Jun 10 2011: Even if you measure all those things, which you can, there is certainly a probabilistic behaviour inherent to the system. Coin toss is just an example. You can use fluctuations in the ionisphere, or noise in an electronic circuit.
Your "refutation" was considered after unveiling of quantum theory, even by Einstein (infamuos "god does nit throw dice" quote), there were people that argued there are some "hidden variables" that we don't know. We now know that these assertions are not true.
Famous EPR "paradox" was proved to be a wrong hypothesis experimentally.Jul 18 2011: It seems to me that there is a tendency to assume that the big bang is the only source of cause, because the concept of singularity is so definite. What if our universe started out as a jet in near one dimension of possible infinite length, and is slowly accreting into a disk of near two dimensions of possible infinite area; with the mid transition stage being a volume of set limits changing shape? What if an apparent singularity is the result of staring at a jet down it's axis, and no way to see or postulate the dimension? This would also explain a varying rate of expansion. What if the universe isn't growing in a perfect sphere, and our observational limits are caused from being inside a changing lens?
Why are we stuck on believing it is a permanently growing ball? Why do we think that phase difference is the same as being in multiple places at the same time, when it just may be that our universe is stretched across a boundary we can't see through? Effective symmetry doesn't have to be identical to be equivalent. The other side might have it's own influences. How could we tell? What if it wasn't actually the other side, but a continuance; with the center defined by our quantum grasp?
In this thought experiment, our universe would vary in density and energy as it changes shape, and rotational inertia develops and aligns. And it would "cool" over all, having "gained" a dimension from start to finish during the process; though it wouldn't be constant or even linear. And the lack of significant anti matter in our universe might constitute the bulk of the opposing jet. It's a "white hole" kind of thought.
This is an oversimplified use of some big tools, being my limit. Four parts classical mechanics, one part relativity, and a dash of quantum mechanics. Yet it proposes a potential (if partial) explanation of varying rates of expansion, dark matter, dark energy; and a different look at some quantum expectations.
Just imagination flying around.Jul 16 2011: The problem lies in the fact that the Big Bang is considered a singularity, as the normal laws of physics break down at the immense temperatures and pressures that the compressed universe was under. We really don't know what things were like immediately before and after the Big Bang. This is why particle accelerator physics is so interesting, because they try to get closer to recreating those conditions to see how matter interacts under such conditions. Thus, we couldn't re-enact the Big Bang in the way you want to.
Furthermore, there are many cases where precise experiments have errors, for example there was a recent claim that a new particle might have been found at Fermilab which was concluded to be a false signal based on more data. (BBC articles: The discovery: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13000253 The refutation of the find: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13722986 ).
Lastly, the main reason that quantum theory is so intriguing and confusing is that it does not follow the laws of cause and effect in a linear manner. Modern quantum mechanics is based on probability because it is impossible to know what the result of an experiment will be. Which slit does the particle travel through? It travels through both and then when it is observed its trajectory makes it clear which slit it came through. But there is no way to tell beforehand how it will react, and so quantum mechanics acts independently of traditional linear cause and effect.Jun 20 2011: Ertuğrul Karademir 20+ says:
Famous EPR "paradox" was proved to be a wrong hypothesis experimentally.
Actually, it was not disproved at all. The experiment (made by Aspect, but inspired by EPR) did exactly
what Einstein assumed it will (and what is now called entangling).
What EPR and Aspect show, did is to torpedo the notion (stated often
, e.g. here by Matt Hintzke:
"We have no way of measuring how and when this parameter comes into play which is why we are restricted to the probability formulas.." .
That is a 'classical thinking' - believing that there is a cause for the random results, but we just do not know it.
It is common in popular books and bad physics courses, often comingled with classical interpretation of the Heinsenberg principle.
In 'reality', there are no such parameters or hidden causes. The Uranium atom will decay or not, independently of what other atoms will do (that is, excluding real interaction, like in chain reaction..)
I apologize for perhaps spoiling the brainstorms - or at least trying to.Jun 19 2011: Dear Matt,
If we re-enacted the big bang with 100% precision (having over come all the difficult), there would be still one catch. One Intial condition would be different..it would not be at the same time t=0 as the orignal and would have an associated history (of an observer recreating the big bang) change the equations. Hence recreating the big bang with the exact initial conditions would not be possible ( even if travelled back in time t=0 to recreate it in a different but identical dimensions). Since creation of initial condition it seems would not be possible, hence replicating the exact same result would elude us. the difference I think between this and the repeatability of the regular experiment we do lies in the R factor.. A 95% factor is good enough to prove say two falling objectsfrom same height falling together. Rest being attributed to shape, wind etc.But to bring out the exact samehigh entrphy state of the universe, from thel ow entrophy state would require an R of 100% and nothing less. and the t>0 would put a varience factor ( however infinitesimally small) which progress geometrically with time.
Therefore primarily, the cause and effect law stays intact but the effort to recreate an event does not.
extending this case beyond t=0, to now. I propose if you could create an R=100% for every thing that happens, it should at first flow follow that the universe must become deterministic and future predictable. However the prediction must take into ints calculation ..pre-knowledge of the first iterative future generated by the model. Thus the calculation for the second iteration would be influenced by the first (which would in most cases now be incorrect). If the second iteration should throw up a future x, it would still risk a variance (caused by the pre-knowledge consideration at every second by every sentient being possessing the model)Jun 13 2011: One can imagine a deterministic world whereas one cannot imagine a non-deterministic world. We cannot imagine it because the mathematical formalizations that we use to describe the world cannot be represented in image or in concreto (or how do you depict an object in 12 dimensions on a 2-D plane?). Since a great deal of our brain activity concerns visual processing we tend to favor world views that are 'imaginable'. We want to imagine it because we want to control it.
My point is that nobody actually understands what a non-deterministic universe means. Usually, aspects of a phenomenon that are 'not determined' are simply not known i.e. an actual cause for x is not known, hence, x is not determined. Then, one puts theoretical considerations into play and claims that x cannot be known fundamentally. However, even this restriction to knowledge may have its peculiar cause.
And in regard to free will: free will is either free or it is will. Considerations of determinism are not necessarily connected to this question. Different playground.Jun 10 2011: This is mixing to many things together: parallel universes, cause and effect, the arrow of time, and applicability of quantum conditions in a quantum scale. At that scale, things like light, speed and time ceases to exist. No, you would not be able to solve all conundrums with the arrow of time, and with cause and effect.Jun 10 2011: There is good reason to maintain Hume's skeptism of induction. To set the initial conditions accurately is limited by Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. To set the position to infinite precision means losing all knowledge of momentum. To define an infinitely precise time entails infinite energy. This means that our world is constrained to a determinism limited by chaos theory. Cause and effect work well for classical dimensions and times but not for the quantum world.Jun 8 2011: In dealing with the quantum world we need to get rid of our instinct for determinism, This is rooted in the physics of Newton and large objects and, yes, does provide a solid basis for scientific prediction and analysis at our macro level of experience. However, when we get down to quantum levels of reality we are dealing with probability of outcome rather than cause and affect. Like in any bell curved statistical framework, there is a centrally weighted probability that manifests strongest and in cases of observable world phenomena, will be the result effectively 100% of the time, due to destructive interference of the less likely possibilities. At a quantum level however, it is impossible to predict the outcome of any event. There is no cause and affect equation, only probabilities. Each time a quantum event occurs, a different result may come. the very early universe was determined by quantum size events, hence, given the same initial conditions an infinite number of outcomes are not only possible, but probably all exist simultaneously. This is what Aaron OÇonnell is illustrating in his TED talk. Any good primer on quantum mechanics will explain these notions.
If we bow to a totally deterministic model then we must accept that there can only be an illusion of free will. OÇonnell's experiment is a vital peek at the most fundamental questions about the relationships between the brain, consciousness, free will and the 'bleed through' that may occur between a micro quantum world and the macro one we live in.
The double slit experiment and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle underlie this thinking.
Jun 8 2011: Just because we interpret such events to be probabalistic does not mean there isn't a 3rd party variable manipulating the results. I understand the Schrodinger equation and Uncertainty principle completely and I have no doubts that it is a useful tool in the world of QM. However, there has to be some external parameter which validates a specific particle's whereabouts. We have no way of measuring how and when this parameter comes into play which is why we are restricted to the probability formulas.Jun 8 2011: Lectures in Physics by Dr. Feynman will be very useful to you.
When you ask " can you perform and experiment.... with same initial conditions" the answer is yes and no
yes i believe with diffraction and no because we cannot define all the initial conditions
So by what we know today through experiments and deduction / proofs is that quantum mechanics is valid
Also the things are not really random. they have a probability distribution and as you repeat the same initial conditions - the final conditions will more or less fit into a probability distribution
Also you mean that all physical phenomena must follow the rule of "implies and implied by" or rather "if a now then b has happened" is true then "if b has happened then a now" is also true.Jun 8 2011: hiya matt, i'm glad you've said that because i've been thinking the same thing for a long time.the response i've always heard from professional physicists is that due to the heisenberg uncertainty principle, we can't know both a particle's position and it's direction at the same time, thus we can never perfectly re-create any experiment because it's impossible to start with every particle in the same place and going the same direction as it was before.however, this has never sat right with me, because human limitations are not the equivalent of physical limitations: just because we can't measure both a particle's direction and position doesn't mean that were it possible, the particle would do something different. on the contrary when particle X impacts particle Y there's a definite non-random outcome, so identical particle interactions (which are at the root of everything really) should always have identical results, and therefore this universe is the only way it could be.
Jun 8 2011: This universe may be the only way it could be, but we only see a shade of the entire picture.Jun 8 2011: Thank you for understanding as well, you interpret this causality exactly how I do.Jun 19 2011: I just wanted to clarify on the comment about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. It is not just an experimental/human limitation, it is in fact a Physical Limitation.
At a quantum level, since it particles are waves (wave-particle duality), there is no such thing as a perfectly-defined position or momentum for the particle. This is the origin of Heisenberg Uncertainty, and this is why it is a physical limitation, a fundamental fact.Jun 8 2011: Simply replicating the conditions of the big bang will not yield identical histories to what we've experienced necessarily...its the collapse of the wave function....the choice (for lack of a better word) of one of the super position states that is based on our observations that determines our history moment by moment...not a moment based on the outcome of the previous moment.....that would be a more classical approach. Basically you would have to replicate every wave function collapse starting at the big bang, to present, to get an identical history...at least that's how i understand it.Jun 7 2011: How would you explain the double slit experiment? If reality were structured as you presume, that every effect has a single distinct cause, then the result of the double slit experiment would be very different. The truth is that things do exist in multiple places at the same time, allowing single photons to interfere with themselves. If you are not familiar with the double slit experiment, look it up, it is a very simple experiment with a very informative result.
Jun 8 2011: I am completely aware of the double slit experiment and have even done it in school. This is much more than just that. Just because the photons behave in a probabalistic way to us, does not mean that they are physically like that. Another component to the double slit experiment is when experimenters tag, or measure, the photon going through the slit. Once the photon is measured in some way it deviates from the probability function and has one, definite trajectory. This measurement somehow disturbs the photon's probable trajectory and results in its real physical trajectory. The reason photons seem to be in 2 places at a time in the double slit experiment could be for a number of reasons. They could be travelling in a seperate medium, like another dimension, which allows for them to APPEAR to be in two places at a time in our 3 dimensions. We define location in three dimensions X, Y, and Z. If particles travel through other dimensions that are embedded within our 3, then it is entirely possible that the particle appears to be in 2 places at the same time when in fact it has a single position (x,y,z,w) where w is its spatial position along an unknown dimension.Jun 6 2011: Hi Matt,
I agree with your analysis. Those who disagree would be well thought of by me if they could explain "what would cause the different outcome given the same set of initial conditions or causes". Unless of course they are implying that some events don't have a cause. If that is so please tell me about one.
Jun 6 2011: If you follow a linear progression then it would makes sense to agree, limiting your focus to one cause then effect at a time. However the overall cause and effect is not linear. There are many many many causes and effects happenings simultaneously. This leads to numerous possibilities
As I had stated earlier in the multitude of cause and effects there will be causes that have the ability to lead to more then one effect. If you have a sphere traveling directly at a wedge divider when the sphere hits perfectly in the center it has the chance to go left, right, or split and go both. In the stance you are taking you're saying that the sphere only goes one direction. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around that. What happen to the other possibilities? Why must the sphere only go in one direction, how can it? It would go in each possible direction evenly in this case.
Jun 6 2011: Complexity does not answer the proposition. A series, or a group, or a cluster of causes (however you wish to put your argument) when assembled in the same fashion would result in the same outcome....if not why not.
It is no answer to say "...oh there are many causes and thus it is therefore unpredictable"
Jun 8 2011: So what happens to the sphere when it hits the divider?Jun 8 2011: If the sphere hit the divider perfectly in the middle as you said, what gives it the means to go left or right? It would get divided equally and go in both directions because, after being split, both halves are completely identical and will travel identical ways. In order to go left or right, the sphere would have needed to have more mass in either of those two directions which is not true according to your mind experiment.
Jun 10 2011: Then there is the possibility of the sphere not splitting but instead bouncing back or coming to a rest.Jun 7 2011: "what would cause the different outcome given the same set of initial conditions or causes".
It's really not hard with a little thought experiment. Consider the problem with predicting the decay of an atom of uranium. Nothing we know about the uranium atom that can tell us why one atom will decay and another will not. The best we can do is predict the probability that a particular atom will decay.
Now suppose your initial conditions contain a single atom or uranium and whether it decays or doesn't decay at a particular time is the point of divergence between two chains of events. If you play through once and the atom decays at the appropriate time you get one outcome. Now go back to the exact initial conditions and you'll find you are stuck with a probability not a certainty the same thing will happen. The only way out of this is to show a cause behind the decay of that particular atom at that particular time.
The easy answer is 'there MUST be a cause' but it's singularly unscientific answer that assumes knowledge we don't have. It assumes the universe works in a particular way because it's easier to understand. It misses the point and much of the mystery behind QM.
Jun 8 2011: Exactly as you said, "Nothing we know about the uranium atom can tell us why one atom will decay and another will not." This is right, however contradicting yourself. Although the Uranium atom does not give us information about whether it will decay or not, that does not mean that there is not some physical property or environmental feature on the microscopic level that denotes whether the atom will decay or not. You honestly believe that one atom will just decay..just because, while another will not..just because. That sounds like terrible scientific logic.
Mark Meyer
Jun 8 2011: Matt, I don't honestly believe anything when it comes to science. Science isn't about belief; it is about evidence and designing experiments to test hypotheses.
- +2
Your arguments are based on what you think the world should look like, not what we actually observe. For instance you are certain, it seems, that the radioactive decay of an atom is caused by some predictable underlying cause. That's a fine hypothesis that a lot of people have had, but until you can test it, it's just that—an assumption based on applying your observations in the macroscopic world to the subatomic world. There is enough evidence out there to cast a lot of doubt on that assumption. Until you can design a way to test, "some physical property or environmental feature on the microscopic level that denotes whether the atom will decay or not…" I think you are kind of stuck. Anything you build on this assumption will be an built on shifting sand.
So no, I don't honestly believe that, but I do believe that we don't know, which scientifically speaking, is a much better place to be.

That's an easy one to answer: The existence of the universe (or if you prefer, the initial conditions of the big bang) is without cause.
So it's not a stretch to propose that similar causes to that which initiated the big bang continue to be at work in the universe.Jun 5 2011: But the fact that we cannot reproduce the Big Bang precisely and that we live in a universe with many-yet-to-be-discovered features, makes us unable to claim a totally logical, unique universe.
Here is my case for a parallel universe or the like. Our energy is constantly being engaged and often, it is misdirected in this universe. For example, unintended actions: You had planned one thing, but another thing happens. Or null actions: You act by not considering variables you should have and as a result, your consequences show only partially what could materialize. These messy, incomplete string of events leave potential energy throbbing like mad somewhere in space and time. I say that it's all mopped up in a parallel universe or leaves less probable ghosts of us hanging out somewhere else, trying to right wrongs for all of eternity. And I say all of eternity because the densest us in the here and now, actually have enough mass to direct energy effectively. (Unless I am a ghost and am only thinking I'm effectively making a point.)Jun 5 2011: You're following one important train of thought already in the forward-looking mode. You (like I) want to know if there is any "news" that can be injected into the universe without breaking any of the rules. Be that news "random" fluctuations in the ongoing revelation of quantum particles' states or (more interestingly) the "free" decisions of sentient beings, we want to know if the universe is actually still forking along paths of possibility with ends unknown and unknowable. The key here is about the unknowableness. I think it's relatively easy to see that the twists and turns are indeed unknowable and dependent on decisions we make because of the deep nature of the unknowableness we can understand in taking the inquiry in the opposite direction:
William Poundstone's "The Recursive Universe" uses Conway's Game of Life (CGOL) to elucidate some things about the real world. For one thing he shows how for a particular state of the game board in CGOL, one can always know the very next state (and therefore all subsequent) exactly, but one cannot determine the previous state with any certainty. This is for the simple reason that for almost all CGOL states, there are very many possible preceding states. The key point here is that the laws of CGOL, like the laws of physics, place detailed constraints on how one state transitions to another, but this does not mean it's possible to project backwards in time to identify prior states.
Understanding this, one sees that your question presupposes something deeply impossible and is therefore flawed. It will never be possible to discover the initial state of the universe, nor to know the full extent of the current state. It's deeply unknowable, or perhaps "fundamentally irrelevant". For this reason the question (which is still a good question, I'm glad you posed it) is only a fantasy (no dis intended).
The complete universe is exactly and only self-evident. No template, no model, no knower, no parallel applies. For us, anyway.Jun 4 2011: What about the effect of our free will and the principle of quantum entanglement and teleportation working on our brain (mind) and hearts (emotions) even beyond our physical existence or the existence of our intellect and will beyond our grave?
(http://bit.ly/QuantumTeleportation) (http://bit.ly/BrainEntanglement) http://www.ted.com/conversations/3337/how_is_it_possible_to_sometime.html
Jun 4 2011: I think that such a thing is utter nonsensical.
- The theory is founded on a small part of our ignorance of the exact workings of certain parts of our cells (the micro-tubuli).
- Our current models don't need to assume such unexplained things to explain what we know. (violation of occam's razor)
- so far, no verifiable predictions have been made for this theory.
- the developers of those theories don't understand QM at all. (they aren't even physicists)
I highly recommend everyone to refrain thinking that quantum-spirituality has any sound scientific basis.Jun 4 2011: I think what you are speaking of is more of an interpretation than a theory in the truest sense of the word. There is another more modern interpretation where the most minute of particles can be at 2 places at the same time because time doesn't exist for things moving at the speed of light. I think this should be a familiar concept, that if you somehow went faster than the speed of light you would go back in time. so slower is in our direction, faster is in the opposite direction and at the speed of light is a sort of equilibrium of time.Therefore if you were right on the edge of the speed of light time would seem to stretch and therefore 2 particles aren't really in the same place at the same "time", they just seem that way to us because we are far left on this kind of "number line" representing the speed of light, and the experiences at these speeds.
Jun 5 2011: I'm cool with this interpretation except for one part: A position is taken about going faster than light, ie. that time would go backward under those conditions. Leave that faster than light stuff out of it, and I see something worth exploring here.
Can you tell me more about just what would be meant by "at the speed of light is a sort of equilibrium of time"?
It's plausible to me that the "ambiguity of state" of a given "particle" is somehow proportional to its speed. I mean, how fast does an electron travel? Is its location equally ambiguous?
What Aaron's talk suggests too, though, is that getting the energy of something near 0 (very slow?) also makes it become ambiguous. (?)
Perhaps what both directions are suggesting is that the more unobservable something is, due to it's being too fast or too dark and quiet, its state becomes more ambiguous. But isn't that just stating the obvious?Jun 4 2011: just a minor remark:
infinite possibilities does not mean that everything is possible. (see Cantor for example)
As for causality and the arrow of time: violations of causality following the arrow of time doesn't mean causality should not hold...
Jun 4 2011: In a limited infinity not everything would be possible but in the infinity of infinities?
Jun 4 2011: Even an infinite infinities can be limited...
The number of lines in a plain are an infinite sets of an infinite number of points, while only one of all possible plains in a space...
"everything" (possible and impossible) is not easy capture-able in sets of infinity....
Austin R
Jun 4 2011: I agree that we should be able to trace the exact history of the Universe, but not necessarily with a re-enactment of the Big Bang. It would assume there were no other factors that led to the Universe's development. IMO, we should assume determinism (and plea ignorance) when it comes to pseudo-random phenomena in quantum mechanics, for the time being. Even if events occur completely independent of all properties and variables in the Universe, we should not assume absolute spontaneity. There very well may be external stimuli that interact with our Universe that, at the same time, are independent of our Universe to some degree or another. I can't accept something that is 100% random, it defies logic to me.Jun 3 2011: ..and then there's that idea that the big bang was the beginning of time.the beginning of everything..which is kind of going out of fashion..it may be what we call the big bang created the brane (membrane) we know as our universe but we don;t even have a clueabout the other branes or universes coliding to create our brane...... you know?Jun 3 2011: hmmmmm..except cause and effect is normal physics

and Aaron has shon that large objects actually exist in two states at once
exactly as predicted from qunatum pysics and consistent with M-theory and parallel
both of wihichalmost unify what we understsod bout physics as of einstein and what we came to know when we could examine the behavior fo sub atomic particles..
doesn't Aaron's work make it apparent that oir weddedness to cause and efect may have kepus from seeing or at least looking in the right direction for how it all really works?
Isn't it actually more logical to assume, as Aaron did, that what we observe for the components we are made of (sub atomoc paricles)must apply to things made of them > Does it even make sense to assume that aggregating sub atomic particles into larger objects would changes their behvior?
We don't get it..yet..
but there it is
and I love at least that it's consistent
that what is true of sub atomic particles is true of objects which are aggtegation sof sub atomic paricles.
and don;t you just love the part that it had to be no one was looking.....
Jun 3 2011: Often things behave different in a community then as individuals. So when different types of sub-atomic particles come together it makes sense that they could act differently in the presence of other particles.
Jun 4 2011: except.....Aaron just proved that large objects actually do behave as particles..the object was in two places at once... ( did you watch the Ted Talk, Thoams..and actually thereis a comre complete description of the experiement)iJun 4 2011: it complies with existing between two places continuos aspect.
thats just me replying to my own thoughts
you know i thought a black hole was just that,a black hole, nothing escapes?then why is it that theres numerous observations of energy jets coming from proposed singularities?
it's taken from hubble
Jun 4 2011: Hawking Radiation
Jun 5 2011: Actually it's gaseous material that has a luminosity brighter towards the leading point,what they can't understand is why did'nt it dissepate?other than attain a speed close to light,an ejectile?Jun 3 2011: Would'nt the infinite cause and effect be cancelled out by the second movement if one were to imagine that they were to move over to the other side of the room and then go out the door but not actually do it, by going out the door the exercise in the mind becomes a proposal not an active possilbility, by not acting on it it dosen't become reality and in no way can it exist.if the bang did happen (personally i'm with eric lerner on that one) would'nt there be infinite possibilities right from the start already in place?
forgive me if this is a joke
I always thought it took intelligence that created possibility.
Jun 3 2011: This is another look at fate, and how it applies to this definite cause and effect theory. By imagining you are walking through the door but not doing so, you are merely acting on an effect caused by a prior intuitive thought to address the possibility. The reason you created this exercise in your mind was because you had causation (your desire to address the fact that it is possible to go against fate). However, because space-time does not act linearly, the decision to not go through the door even when you were already thinking about it was already set in stone. It is as if your fate at that moment in time was to in fact create your own fate by not going through the door.This is almost too complicated to explain, and to tell you the truth, my brain hurts haha.
Jun 3 2011: yes i see your point matt and it is humorous,i did'nt mean go against fate,i should of said if one tried to imagine. the first movement across the room has infinite possibility,the second dosen't because you never moved to the first.though it sounds lineal it is not lineal.one gets to choose out of a quick possibility of around 5 to 10? possible choices at any given time but can only choose one then onto the next possible multi choice,we do this constantly all the time,the past mulitple choice flits out of existence the minute you make that one choice,one can't step back to that previous multi choice option because time has moved on and only possible within the mind.
Do you think there is a dimension of choice?
now to be honest its totally off topic and probaly still humorous and full of......
i just read everything and yep way off target

Jun 3 2011: Did I say that each time step after the big bang creates a split of one dimension into 2? Even if I did, space-time does now flow like a river. The dimensions would not split like branches on a tree as time flows because well it doesn't flow. All space-time is superimposed ontop of itself meaning that all of the future and all of the past is somehow happening all at the same time. This deduction would conclude that there are infinite number of dimensions because for all we know time does not ever stop.
Comment deleted
Jun 3 2011: I honestly do not think we are talking about the same idea. I have not said that anything moves faster than time. Actually I believe time does not move at all. It is merely a perception of our brains to accomodate the universe's movement from low to high entropy. as for our x, y, z exercise, are those values distances of some type? I am trying to understand what your logic is as well. I know there are other dimensions, not infinite number, but only 27.Jun 4 2011: We know nothing about the concept of time other than the fact that it exists within our universe.
Can you confidently say that time applies to these other universes just as it applies to ours?
Speculations can be made, but history will tell us that usually we are wrong when we make speculation.
This concept will hopefully be grasped by humanity one day, and we will look back and laugh at what we had previously thought.
Comment deleted
Jun 5 2011: If time is finite then there would be no time.
How can time all of a sudden just start, and how can anything precede time? All of these terms used to disprove the infinite concept of time are terms of infinite time.
Are you saying that in our universe, effects need no cause?
We know nothing of the big bang, and we know nothing of time.
We will know someday.
But we do know there is no free will.
It's ridiculous to say that we have free will.Jun 5 2011: Griffin...........Does paradoxical logic make sense ?
Comment deleted
Jun 5 2011: I totally follow you, Griff, and agree. Check out my other comments in this conversation and see if you agree with those.Jun 6 2011: Griffin..............You are right. I am totally out of your league.Jun 5 2011: A paradox indicates the boundary of a logical schema. So if a given logical operation encounters a paradox that it cannot resolve it can only be replaced by another schema. That's why there are several types of logic, most of us are familiar with formal logic and mathematics. There is also fuzzy logic and more relevant to this topic quantum logic. Specifically created for when formal systems fail. But any logic will always encounter a paradox according to Godel's theorem so the paradox will always remain beyond the boundary otherwise it would not be a paradox.Jun 5 2011: Just to clear up beyond the boundary with reference to a given schema.Jun 3 2011: As far as your baseball question if everything was exactly the same it would always lead to the same outcome. The thing is every time would be different. Besides that you brought that point up while missing the point. If you threw baseballs in infinite directions with infinite amount of varying forces then the outcome would be infinitely different.
Jun 3 2011: No, you are correct, I don't think you are understanding what the difference between multiple outcomes are from multiple effects and one effect creating multiple outcomes (this is the idea of parallel universes). I will lay it out straight:
Factual: Infinite number of causes, like you state (directions and forces of throwing a ball), equals infinite number of outcomes (the ball going in infinite number places)
My contradiction to parallel universes: Parallel universes imply that one single cause can create a multitude (infinitely many) of effects.
Jun 3 2011: The different tendrils of cause and effect are the parallels. If you take the big bang as the cause while we are an effect we are not the effect. The pathways from the cause to the effect through all these infinite causes and effect vary. The variances are the parallels.
Jun 3 2011: So are you saying that somewhere in a parallel universe, you are a quarter back for the New England Patriots, and are doing warm-ups instead of writing this text? If such a thing could occur, at what point in tracing back all the causes and effects of how your life transpired was there a deviation from your life right now? If the Big bang occurred exactly the same way in both the universes, the total effects in all of space-time of each should theoretically be the same, so where in that ongoing domino effect of causality do you become a QB rather than who you are today?Jun 6 2011: May I know what caused the big bang? From what I read, the universe was created after the big bang, but what about prior to the big bang? Was there any existence or any intelligence?Jun 3 2011: I still don't understand how you can can say that there are an infinite amount of cause and effect and yet argue that there is only one pointed outcome. That statement contradicts itself. If there are infinite possible cause and effects then there are infinite possible outcomes. Just because our minds tend to focus on one possibility doesn't mean that there is only one. It's not where I become a QB rather than who I am today, it's that I am a QB while I am who I am today.
Jun 3 2011: There is one effect for cause, yet there are trillions of each in the universe..I don't see how you don't understand that. Try to imagine every particle passing through the room you are in right now and bouncing off objects. The forces between the particle and the surface of the object is the cause, the resulting bouncing is the effect. Yet there are trillions and trillions of particles all doing this at the same time...Jun 4 2011: Sometimes there are different possible causes to an effect, sometimes one cause can lead to different effects. The key thing I am having difficulties with is you say infinite amount of cause and effect. With infinite comes every possibility playing out somewhere. So we are developed as we are based on this effect from a tendral of cause and effect. On a different tendral is where you are the QB. These tendrils occur in the infinite amount of cause and effect. Different tendrals are spin offs from a junction in the path of the first dimension. The first dimension being your linear progression of cause and effect. When a cause leads to an effect that another cause can lead to there must be another effect that can be derived being that there are two causes. Then when following the line of C/E there is choice t this point these choice cause the divergence between me, myself and I. While this also expands past the point of joining me with myself it connects all as a species. There are Venn areas in the tendrals.
Jun 4 2011: This is impossible.
The present is only a preview of the future, the timeline is technically predetermined, that is why we are incapable of determining the future.
If there are multiple possible effects to a cause, than this would imply that free will exists within atoms.
Even if atoms are capable of thought, they would not be capable of randomly defining the future, because even human thought is predetermined.

Everything a computer person needs to learn for her business, she can get from her mentors--when they become members of her advisory board. First they provide expertise in sales, marketing, management and money matters. Then, morphing into a board of directors, they keep her on budget, on time and focused on her exit strategy. But perhaps their best lesson is that learning should be passed along to others.
Even an experienced serial entrepreneur can run into glitches when he starts a company dependent on complex software.

It also helps to have high-powered investors and a built-in formula for building customer loyalty. As these business-school buddies discovered, advertisers love an affluent audience, so you can actually make money by giving it away.
Even on the Internet, says the founder of a company that provides online directories for e-businesses, most new business models are really variants or hybrids of the three basic old ones. To gain competitive advantage in the new economy, what entrepreneurs really need is a low-cost customer-acquisition strategy. And, they face increasing pressure from investors to be right the first time.
Are today's newly wealthy entrepreneurs robber barons or 21st-century heroes? Those who profit from the process of wealth creation are under increasing pressure to apply their skills and business experience to philanthropic ventures.
On-the-job training helped a former retailer with a passion for metals learn enough to start her own company. Family support, mentoring and ambitious networking help her niche business deal with the giants of the aerospace industry. Now she's focusing on becoming a big enough player to provide opportunities for others.
Founding an Internet company was a logical step for this college-educated rap fan with cable-industry marketing experience. He's a man with a mission: equipping minority communities with computer technology and online access so they can participate fully in the new economy. Commercial and community partnerships enable him to grow the business and carry the message.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 10, 12 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Scott Stadium (61,500) -- Charlottesville, Virginia. Television: ABC. Home Record: Miami 3-2, UVA 2-3. Away Record: Miami 2-2, UVA 1-3. Neutral Record: Miami 0-0, UVA 0-0. Conference Record: Miami 4-2, UVA 1-4. Series Record: Miami-Florida leads, 5-4.
GAME NOTES: Needing one more victory in their final three games to become bowl eligible, the Miami-Florida Hurricanes will visit Scott Stadium in Charlottesville for an ACC clash with the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday afternoon.
Despite some recent struggles, Miami enters the weekend atop the ACC Coastal Division with a 4-2 league mark. The Hurricanes snapped a three-game slide with a 30-12 triumph over Virginia Tech last Thursday night. It marked the first game all season that Miami did not trail at any point.
Virginia is coming off a much-needed 33-6 win at NC State. The victory snapped a six-game losing streak and preventing the Cavaliers' first seven-game slide since 1981. Following this tilt, they'll stay in Charlottesville to host North Carolina next Thursday before wrapping up the regular season at Virginia Tech the following week.
Miami holds a 5-4 lead in the head-to-head series with UVA, although the Cavs have won the last two meetings.
The Hurricanes offense went largely M.I.A. during their three-game skid. And while they showed some improvement in the win over Virginia Tech, it wasn't exactly an offensive onslaught. Two of their touchdowns were set up by a blocked punt and a long kick return. Miami was out-gained 421-347, and gained a mere three yards in the third quarter. In addition, the offense converted only 1-of-12 third downs. Still, the 'Canes came out with a win and confidence should be high entering this tilt. Expect coach Al Golden to continue riding senior running back Mike James and freshman Duke Johnson, who have combined for 1,032 of the team's 1,171 rushing yards and 15 of Miami's 29 touchdowns this season.
Through nine games, Miami has forced 18 turnovers, which is three more than the team managed in all of the 2011 campaign. Those takeaways have, at times, helped mask what has been a rather porous defense. The 'Canes enter the weekend ranked 119th out of 120 FBS teams in run defense (246.2 ypg) and 110th in sacks (1.11 per game). No team in the ACC has yielded more yards from scrimmage than Miami this season. Last week, Miami notched a fumble recovery and intercepted Hokies quarterback Logan Thomas twice. The defense also buckled down inside the red zone, as Virginia Tech made four trips inside the 20-yard line and came away with only a couple of field goals.
Virginia turned in a complete game on both sides of the ball at NC State. The Cavaliers rolled up 23 first downs and 446 yards of offense, as they won the time-of-possession battle by nearly 14 minutes. Phillip Sims ran for a touchdown and threw for another, completing 8-of-10 passes for 115 yards before giving way to backup Michael Rocco. Kevin Parks ran for 115 yards and a TD on 25 carries, while Perry Jones added 67 yards on 11 carries. Jones is the fourth Cavalier in school history and 12th player in ACC history with both 1,000 career rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards. He and Parks have combined to spearhead the ACC's fourth-leading rushing attack this season.
While the UVA offense put forth a solid effort against NC State, most of the credit belongs to the defense. After all, the Cavs forced five turnovers (three INTs, two fumble recoveries) and came away with six sacks. They held the Wolfpack to 19 yards rushing and even notched a safety. It was the best defensive performance in nearly two months for a defense that entered the contest ranked dead-last in the nation in turnover margin. Still, Virginia has made strides of late. The Cavs have given up 122 combined rushing yards over the past three games (Maryland, Wake Forest, NC State), an average of just 40.7 yards per game and 1.3 yards per carry.
It hasn't been a picture-perfect season for the Hurricanes, but a Coastal Division title would certainly help overshadow their shortcomings. Look for Miami to snap its two-game slide in the series and become bowl eligible with a win this weekend.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Miami-Florida 31, Virginia 17

Rated 3 out of 5Â by christinamariek Love the length...love the color I really do like this necklace, but I wish it weren't so delicate. I was playing foozball the other night and hadn't realize it got caught on the handle. It is my fault for not thinking but the chain popped in two places. I was able to fix it but I was a little bummed about it. Otherwise, I like it! 2.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by GroovyBunny Silver Fringes & Turquoise Beads I had my eye on this pendant for a long time. It didn't look all that special in the picture, yet I was drawn back to it again and again. Finally, I couldn't resist. Well, the pendant turned out to be a happy surprise! The beadwork is beautiful and the colors go with nearly everything. The turquoise is a combination of cadet blue, light olive and dark olive. At the bottom is a long fringe of light silvery chains. There's even a teeny tiny charm with the name of the designer, Chan Luu. (Here it is with the Striped In Crochet Pullover and the Emily Slip.) 2.9.2013

In May 2006 the governor of Alabama issued Executive Order 33 mandating that state departments and agencies encourage and promote the conservation of energy in state-owned buildings.In November 2011, the governor of Alabama issued Executive Order 25 extending the energy standards for state agencies end goal from Fiscal Year 2010 to Fiscal Year 2015. The initiative aims to reduce energy consumption by 10% in all conditioned, state-owned facilities by the end of Fiscal Year 2008, 20% by Fiscal Year 2010, and 30% by Fiscal Year 2015 (as compared to 2005 levels).
State departments and agencies are encouraged to employ the latest energy-conservation practices in the design, construction, renovation, operation and maintenance of state facilities. All state agencies must implement the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Portfolio Manager database tool to measure and report energy efficiency. All agencies must have one primary and one secondary staff member trained on the Portfolio Manager data maintenance and reporting. Data must be updated regularly to compile with quarterly reports required from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) Energy Division to the U.S. Department of Energy. The Department of Finance and Energy Division of ADECA are authorized and directed to provide technical assistance in implementing cost effective energy efficiency practices as needed state departments and agencies. The ADECA Energy Division will provide training to departments and agencies in the use of Portfolio Manager software.
In December 2008, the Building Commission adopted the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as the standard for new public buildings. When replacing or purchasing new equipment, agencies must purchase Energy Star equipment when cost effective. State departments and agencies must also designate an energy officer with the authority to study, investigate and recommend potential energy saving procedures within the agency. At the end of each fiscal year, the energy officer for each state agency must submit a progress report on meeting the directives to the ADECA Energy Division, which will submit a consolidated report to the Department of Finance and the governor's office.
In December 2008, the Building Commission adopted the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as the standard for new public buildings. In September 2010, the Building Commission adopted the 2009 International Building Code.

Texas body and fender man Joe "J.L." Sanders raised his son Mark right. Not only has Mark taken over the family business, Caliber Collision Centers, Inc., the younger Sanders also shares the same love for high performance cars as dear old dad, and specifically those with the Bow Tie insignia on them. Of course, the matter of vehicle preference is decidedly different. In old dad's mind there's nothing finer than a classic Tri-Five-in this case, a bright red '57 Bel Air. On the other hand, son Mark prefers something a bit more contemporary, like this orange pearl '71 Camaro RS. Given a choice, it would be a difficult decision to pick between the two.
Joe purchased his Bel Air as a retirement project but first he had to build a new workshop at his home. "I built the shop large enough to be able to build two cars at a time. It was great fun working side-by-side with my son, Mark. I helped him, and he helped me."
Initially, the elder Sanders thought his new acquisition to be in fairly good condition, but a post-purchase inspection revealed a multitude of sins hidden underneath that bright red paint job. Joe also discovered that the Tri-Five's chassis had also been cobbled by a number of previous "experts," so rather than compounding the problem, he elected to order one of Art Morrison's high tech Tri-Five chassis.
Front suspension consists of a coilover shock, A-M unequal-length tubular upper and lower control arms setup using a set of A-M dropped front spindles, a pair of Wilwood Engineering six-piston front disc brakes, and Art Morrison-Flaming River rack-and-pinion steering gear.
Out back, Joe's chassis uses a 3.70:1 geared, Strange Engineering-equipped 9-inch suspended by an A-M four-link/coilover rear suspension. Rear braking is accomplished by a set of Wilwood Engineering four-piston brakes, master cylinder and proportioning valve.
Wheels and tires on Joe's '57 consist of a set of 17x8 front, and 18x9 rear Billet Specialties Vintecs rolling on P245/45R17-inch front and P275/40R18-inch rear Nitto 555 radials.
"Those are the biggest rear tires you can get to fit inside a stock '57 Chevrolet wheelhouse," says Joe.
The motivational source for Joe's '57 comes in the form of a 510-cid Ron Shaver Specialties crate engine rated at 600 horses and 600 lb-ft of torque. Internally, the big-block is crammed with a set of 9.5:1 compression hypereutectic pistons, Shaver/ARP-prepared connecting rods, a Shaver-prepared crank, and Shaver-specification hydraulic cam. Bolted up top is a set of Shaver-prepped GM Performance Parts, Chevrolet cylinder heads, Edelbrock Performer intake and 850-cfm Edelbrock carburetor. Other goodies include a Mallory HEI ignition system, Street & Performance engine pulleys and accessory drive, and a thermal-coated Art Morrison "through the chassis" custom exhaust system.
Backing all of this up is a Hobart Performance-built GM 700R4 four-speed-overdrive transmission. Engine cooling is handled by a polished Be Cool Cooling Module.
Joe, Mark and the crew down at Caliber Collision Center smoothed out, and in some cases, re-skinned the '57's sheetmetal prior to paint. In the process, the rear license plate was frenched into the deck lid. Then Joe had painter Mike Reed spray the Bel Air in Spies Hecker 2006 Lexus "Absolutely Red." Upon re-assembly, all new Danchuk Industries chrome and trim was used along with a "California" one-piece front bumper.
Inside, Colleyville's John's Upholstery covered the modified Cadillac front and rear seats in soft tan leather. Interior upgrades also include a Flaming River six-way-tilt steering column, and leather wrapped Billet Specialties steering wheel, Electric Life power windows and vent window, Classic Instruments and Sony DVD touch screen entertainment system.

Geoffrey of Monmouth was a Norman who was basically rewriting British history and trying to create a unity between the Britons, Saxons and the Normans. The irony is that the Saxons that Arthur beat were the English. Kind of surprising that the English embraced Arthur as their hero.
Most of the Arthur myth was written by the French and such things as Camelot and Lancelot were added then.
I always wondered about the relevence of the FRENCH CASTLE IN THE HOLY GRAIL. Thank you Tony, now I know!

Becoming qualified is as easy going to your local Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) customer service center (CSC) and requesting to take the test. You can request a study guide before taking the examination to increase your chance of success (downloaded from the web site or visit your local DMV customer service center). A $25 application fee is required to take the test at the DMV CSC.
Once you have passed the test, the DMV Dealer Services Work Center will mail you a Certificate Of Qualification. This certificate is NOT a license to sell motor vehicles. It does, however, qualify you to pursue your license and perform limited duties at your dealership.

1973 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Cards
The 1973 O-Pee-Chee set of cards appears very much the same as the 1973 Topps set, except for the words "Printed in Canada" on the back, and the addition of the player biography and statistics in French as well as English. The 1973 OPC set consists of 660 cards, measuring 2 ½" by 3 ½". Not only did childhood photos appear on certain cards for the second year in a row, the 1973 collection also contains an "All-Time Leaders" series within the set. Although the 1973 Topps set was printed and issued at different times with increasing scarcity amongst the higher-numbered cards, the 1973 O-Pee-Chee set was printed and issued at the same time, thus there is little differentiation in scarcity.

Can you provide a bit more information? Is it jerky all the time or during boot? Or is it only certain applications? Desktop or RT or both?
Posted 04 July 2012 - 02:49
Happens randomly long after boot. Mostly notice it in Firefox, but have seen it happen using a program called Wavepad. Seems to happen when my HDD is being accessed. My specs are in my sig. Happened on a completely different rig as well. Using Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 and Wireless Mouse 5000.

Run CrystalDiskInfo and make sure that all your hard-drives are healthy, as it could be that your drive is failing. However, you also mention that it happened on another system. Are there any common denominators? The same brand of mouse? Have you installed the drivers for your mouse / keyboard (if you have perhaps you could try uninstalling them)? Are you running the same programs (Firefox, Bittorrent)?
Have you tried using a different browser? It might be an unstable plugin.
Posted 04 July 2012 - 13:46
When your mouse is playing up is your keyboard responsive? As in, can you use keyboard shortcuts to launch the Start screen, alt-tab between apps, etc? It's quite possible it's just a mouse fault rather than a Windows 8 fault per se.
Posted 04 July 2012 - 15:28
Posted 04 July 2012 - 21:58
Given that your problem seems to be with the mouse and not with general system responsiveness I'd definitely uninstall that and see if it helps, as I've found that mouse and keyboard utilities tend to cause more problems than they're worth.
No issues with the keyboard that I can tell. Windows 8 auto-downloaded the intellipoint software, so it might be a bug with that.

Senator John McCain: 'Stand your ground' laws should be re-examined
PHOENIX - Sen. John McCain says President Barack Obama's speech about race relations was "very impressive" and agreed that "stand your ground" laws should be re-examined, including those in his own state of Arizona.
"The 'stand your ground' law may be something that may needs to be reviewed by the Florida legislature or any other legislature that has passed such legislation," McCain said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Arizona is one of 30 states that have such laws, which give individuals certain legal rights in cases of self-defense. The law in Florida has come under scrutiny recently during the trial of George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin last year during a confrontation.
Asked if he thinks Arizona should review the law, McCain said: "Yes, I do."
"And I'm confident that the members of the Arizona legislature will, because it is very controversial legislation," he told CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley.
McCain said he didn't agree with fellow Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who argued Friday the Obama administration is calling for a review of "stand your ground" laws as a way to further its agenda against Second Amendment rights.
"Isn't it time for America to come together?" McCain asked. "I'd rather have a message of coming together and discussing these issues rather than condemning.
"I respect (Cruz's) view, but I don't frankly see the connection," he added.
Protesters stand up to 'stand your ground,' but laws likely here to stay
McCain said that while American society has made progress on racial issues, the recent tensions over the Trayvon Martin case have "highlighted the differences that remain."
"What I got out of the president's statement, which I thought was very impressive, is that we need to have more conversation in America," he said. "I need to talk to more of my Hispanic organizations in my state. I need to talk to more African-American organizations."
The longtime senator pointed to the economic disparities between African-Americans and other demographic groups, citing the city of Detroit, which he called a "wasteland," as an example.
"What's the majority of the population in the city of Detroit? Who suffers the most? Obviously we know the answer," he said of the city that filed for bankruptcy last week.
The main point that can be drawn from the president's speech on Friday, McCain said, was that "we've still got a long way to go."
"And I think the president very appropriately highlighted a lot of that...as only the president of the United States can," he said.
