State of the bike lanes
Not sure if this has been discussed previously, but has anyone had a bad experience with our bike lanes? On my daily commute, I encounter rocks, glass, potholes, twisted bits of metal and did I mention glass?!
I dream of a world where I don't have to stress about getting punctures for my entire ride. Can we all sign some kind of petition/complaint to the government so they can get their act together?
Also, just an aside.. what is the purpose of the new green, chunky, glasslike coating which has been laid in bike lanes at intersections?
Re: State of the bike lanes
I use an iPhone app called Snap Send Solve to take photos of these sorts of things and email the local council. It's GPS based and very easy to use. Results - one out of two so far, but to be fair, I did only send in the second report yesterday.
Re: State of the bike lanes
Some councils like Charles Sturt and Unley have a semi regular road sweeping regime. Others such as West Torrens and Prospect don't give a CR@P about bicycles.
The other thing to do is join the respective BUGs for each of the councils.
Re: State of the bike lanes
The BIGGEST problem with bike lanes in adelaide is they just STOP, right at the point you need them the most, when the road narrows.
I am curious to know about the green stuff too, I assumed it was a permanent clearly visible marking so that drivers can't miss them.
Re: State of the bike lanes
Yep, and more grip.
Re: State of the bike lanes
More grip?
Point of interest: The maximum grip you can attain is if the surface was perfectly smooth.
Take your car out and lock up the brakes on 'rough' bitumen. Do the same on freshly laid, 'smooth' bitumen. You'll skid on the rough bitumen and stop fairly abruptly on the smooth stuff.
Also just a sidenote to the topic, there are LOTS of activation loops being installed at traffic lights in the bike lanes. I've noticed them all around the city and throughout Unley and Mitcham councils. If there's no loop there tends to be a 'bike button' at the lights.
Re: State of the bike lanes
Quibble: may not necessarily apply for certain tread / surfaces combinations :-p
Re: State of the bike lanes
North East Rd is particularly bad like this. It says: "Here, have a bike lane... NOPE, just kidding! OK, really this time, have a bike lane... HA, got you again!"
There's a small bridge/boardwalk along Linear Park where they recently laid some kind of bitumen-like surface on top of the wooden planks. I can only assume someone took the corner too fast during some rain and went over the edge...
Re: State of the bike lanes
I'll pay that - assume we are talking about mountain bike tyres on smooth stuff and road tyres on rough or muddy stuff.
Re: State of the bike lanes
under OG road, I have been off there and know someone else who has as well. I was not going fast either. When i got onto my feet I slipped and nearly fell on top of my bike.
Re: State of the bike lanes
yeah, more grip for the glass, metal, and pointy things which seem to gather infinitely within these areas
Re: State of the bike lanes
Wood's a bit different as it can slime up. Sometimes bridges are covered in chicken wire rather than grip coating. Can't say I like the feel.
Re: State of the bike lanes
I have found wood to be slippery when wet pretty much regardless of slime/moss factor.
Re: State of the bike lanes
I know I'm coming into this a bit late, but from painful personal experience it's also road surface hazards that you need to look out for. I have posted elsewhere on this forum about a huge crash I had recently on Anzac Hwy where a tree root had lifted up the road surface in the middle of the bike lane - I didn't see it so over the bars I went at 40km/h with the impact on the road tearing some ligaments in my shoulder. I have also seen some deadly pot holes in bike lanes as well but managed to avoid those. I agree that the bike lanes tend to be the worst part of the road surface in terms of debris and road quality. Of course not to mention the sudden disappearance of the lane at crucial times. I get the feeling that a lot of bike lanes are a political ploy so councils and government can say "we installed x km of bike lanes". Which sounds great but in reality is next to useless in terms of improving cyclist safety where it is really needed

Re: State of the bike lanes
I rode around a bit in Adelaide mid March. My riding was limited to the area bounded by Westlakes Bvd, Tapleys Hill to Henley Bch Rod plus south on the coast to Glenelg. Also a ride along the linear park from Adelaide to the ocean.
Note however that most of my riding other than along beachfront is on paths. The considerable slope to those concrete drains at the sides of some of your major roads probably clears the roads of glass and stuff very quickly and dumps it where bikes would be.
I did notice the occasional bit of glass along main traffic routes. But we get the same over here in Perth where cycle paths are close to freeways or go thru underpasses. Ppl throw their rubbish out of cars, it's an unpleasant fact of life.
When I think about it I don't think I saw much around any pubs I passed. And the Linear Par from memory was empty of any rubbish. Actually it was empty of riders too but it was a mid week day so I hope lots of people ride it to their advanatage.
From what I saw I didn't experience much to worry about. Much of what passes as paths and cycle paths were substandard. But the general freedom from unnecessary rubbish was very good imo.

Re: State of the bike lanes
It would make a great number plate slogan though "SA: State of the bike lanes"
. . . . . . .
Re: State of the bike lanes
I'm inspired by this sign I saw on Seaview Road. How about "Come visit Adelaide down under"?

BBC Music Magazine Award for Alisa Weilerstein
American cellist Alisa Weilerstein was yesterday named winner of the BBC Music Magazine Recording of the Year Award with her debut concerto disc of the Elgar and Carter Cello Concertos with the Berlin Staatskapelle and Daniel Barenboim on Decca.
Alisa Weilerstein's recording was voted for by both the public and BBC Music Magazine's expert jury and was chosen as the best of more than 1,500 reviewed by the magazine in 2013.
The awards jury said: "Weilerstein avoids nostalgia and produces an account full of passion, grief and nobility of feeling … it's been years since a new recording of Elgar's great concerto made this kind of visceral impact."
Alisa Weilerstein signed an exclusive contract with Decca Classics in 2011. Her winning recording has been widely feted, the New York Times acclaiming "the soloist's superb control keenly matched by the conductor's insightful support".

The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting
this month:
June 20, 2011
7:00pm - 9:00pm
"Writing a compiler in Haskell and LLVM"
Bryan Bell
Why would you want to write a compiler? How do Haskell and LLVM make
compiler writing easier and less error prone? This presentation will
include: 1) A discussion on why compilers are important, 2) A short
high level introduction on Haskell and LLVM, and 3) How Haskell and
LLVM make it easier to write a compiler.
Haskell is a standardized, general-purpose purely functional
programming language, with non-strict semantics and strong
static typing. The Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) is a compiler
infrastructure, written in C++, which is designed for compile-time,
link-time, run-time, and "idle-time" optimization of programs written
in arbitrary programming languages. Originally implemented for
C/C++, the language-independent design (and the success) of LLVM has
since spawned a wide variety of front ends, including Objective-C,
Fortran, Ada, Haskell, Java bytecode, Python, Ruby, ActionScript,
GLSL, and others.
About the Speaker:
Bryan Bell is a graduate intern at Intel. He received a BS in
Mathematics from UC Davis, and is working on a MS in CS at CSU
Sacramento. His interests are programming languages, compilers, and
computational geometry.
This meeting will be held at:
Wickson Hall

Check out Part 2 of "Know Your Stripes!"
Last issue we did a story on how to paint a Camaro-style stripe on an S10 pickup. We showed how to lay it out and spray it, but we think there is another angle when talking about stripes we needed to cover: What is actually correct? If you go to as many Super Chevy Shows as we do, then you will start to notice that there are a ton of Camaros with factory-style stripes that don't always match.
Some of the first factory stripes we could find happened to be on a '57 Corvette built by GM's Styling Center, and that car also wore the SS moniker (also the first use of that well-known set of letters). Then, in the beginning of the '60, the Sebring race Vettes and Corvairs got the same treatment, with a center stripe with two thinner outside stripes running along side it. During this era, cars had stainless trim, which acted as a high-class stripe, but hit the late '60s and painted stripes came in and became the norm. This was not only the style, but a lot cheaper.
It wasn't until the release of the '67 Camaro that Chevrolet put some sort of painted-on stripe on a car. The Camaro was offered with the most options of any vehicle in the Chevy lineup. Most notable were the two thick stripes that ran along the hood and deck lid of the Z/28. Those two stripes were on the Z/28 only, while the SS cars got a stripe painted around the nose. Funny how most have come to regard the stereo stripes on the hood and trunk as SS stripes, but in actuality they were really for the Z/28. Since the Camaro got so many options, the focus of this story will be the F-body models up to '73.
We used our connections with GM's archive and National Parts Depot to pull as many factory images and diagrams related to the Camaro stripe craze that dominated the car's early years. We are going to focus on the most popular stripes that we could actually get measurements on. NPD offers reprints of the Chevrolet Assembly manuals, which feature technical drawings of the stripes for just about all the popular muscle cars if you don't see what you need here.
Back in the day, the designers and engineers were a bit too precise and spaced everything out in decimal version tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on, so not all the stuff converts to a well-known fraction (or tape size). It would clog up the article if we were to try and give you the closest familiar fractions. Just use an online conversion chart to see what the closest fraction is, and then you can decide to either match the factory numbers exactly or just get close. Just know that matching exactly will probably require, a mechanics ruler and a bunch of 1/16 and 1/8-inch masking tape to create these oddball fine lines.
1. Here is a '57 Corvette show car. It's the first instance we can find of a factory stripe package.
2. The SS nose stripes (L48) on the '67 and (D91) on the '68. You could order this on any trim level, but came standard on the SS. It starts 0.790-inch back from front edge at the centerline and 0.830 back from fender peak/edge. This gives you the spacing off the front of the valance. From there it's a 0.10-inch pinstripe, 0.12 space, 3.76 center stripe, 0.10 pinstripe, 0.12 space, with a 4.20 total size. All these measurements stay the same as the stripe wraps the fender and goes down toward the bumper, but it is 1.40 back from the front edge of fender at center bodyline instead of the 0.790 and 0.830 on the topside. Everything is the same for the '68 D91 version, except the last measurement is not 1.40, they moved it forward a bit to 0.870 back from front edge of fender at center bodyline. If the car was equipped with engine badges on the front fender, the stripe was broken above the center bodyline.
3. The '67-'68 Z/28 Camaros: Starting with the hood, these stripes run off the end of the nose of the car and stop 1.36-inch before the end of the cowl. The measurements for these will start at the edge of the hood at the front. Measure over 5.98, then it's a 0.25 pinstripe, 0.38 space, 12.46 center stripe, 0.38 space, 0.25 pinstripe, with a total width of 13.72. The stripes get 0.90 larger as they go back, so the rear measurements are a bit larger and are measured over from the side of the hood at the back. Measure over 6.56, then it's a 0.25 pinstripe, 0.38 space, 13.10 center stripe, 0.38 space, 0.25 pinstripe with a total width of 14.32. The back edge of the stripe has rounded corners that follow the curve of the cowl depression.
4. For the rear stripes, which also have a taper in them, the measurements start at the edge of the trunk panel. Starting with the top, measure over 7.02-inch, then it's a 0.25 pinstripe, 0.38 space, 13.53 center stripe, 0.38 space and 0.25 pinstripe. The lower measurements are 5.96 then a 0.25 pinstripe, 0.38 space, 13.26 center strip, 0.38 space and 0.25 pinstripe. If the car is equipped with a rear Chevrolet emblem, there is to be 0.15 clearance around letters. If the car is equipped with a rear spoiler, then lower measurements apply.

It is becoming increasingly common for customers to interact with brands through online sources, and as such, managing your online reputation can be as important as cultivating a product. One of the best ways to build your online presence is through the creation and dissemination of top-quality content, which in today's Internet age is a key conversation starter - and starting conversations is what online brand management is all about.
Interaction, not just information
Whereas older schools of thought hold that the purpose of your company website should be to inform your customers of your product, the new digital-centric paradigm places a much higher value on listening rather than talking. Online brands are no longer static spaces to talk at your audience; instead you should aim to start conversations that you can participate in directly with your potential customers. In fact, The Huffington Post reported that 70 percent of consumers view content as more effective at getting to know brands online than simple ads. Technology and social media make conversation and interaction between brands and their audience easier than ever, and as such, that structure is beginning to gain popularity over the predominant ad-driven one.
One important way to establish your brand as approachable is to provide your users with more than just ads. Forbes recommended producing whitepapers, editorial content and educational information such as infographics as a way to engage your audience and show them that you're not simply trying to sell to them.
Let others work for you
While your blog, site and social media profiles are great ways to spread your brand message to your audience, you can derive content from other sources as well. Be on the lookout for happy customers writing editorials on your product or service or websites that link to your brand. Services such as Google Alerts are a great way to keep track of this. Then, put those accolades to work for you! There's nothing wrong with drawing attention to positive things others have said about you on the Web. In fact, The American Registry can provide your brand with a professional profile specifically designed to help you track, manage and display all your awards, recognitions and accolades so you can ensure that the content you create and curate puts your best face forward.

Steelers honor Military VeteransPosted by on November 12, 2012 – 8:38 pm
Veterans before the game with Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett.
The Steelers honored military veterans prior to tonight's game against the Chiefs as a part of the NFL's "Salute to Service.'
Veterans from each war dating back to World War II were honored in a pregame ceremony on the field just prior to the National Anthem.
The veterans that were honored included the following:
Steve Jager, 92, from Arnold, Pa., who was stationed at Schofield Barracks when Pearl Harbor was attacked. The Army veteran survived and spent the next four years fighting in World War II.
Harry Hagerman, 89, from Pittsburgh, served as an Amy Tank Gunner in World War II. Hagerman, a Steelers season ticket holder for over 35 years, was a Purple Heart recipient after being injured in combat.
Lt. Wendell Freeland represented the Tuskegee Airman, the famed group of African American WWII flyers. He was a bombardier aboard a North American B-25 Mitchell bomber in the 477th Bombardment Group.
Representing the Korean War was Sgt. Nick Tisak from Ambridge. Tisak was a member of the 8th Airborne Ranger Company, injured when he was shot in the leg in the battle of "Hill 628. "
"It is one of the nicest things that ever happened to me in my life for no other reason than we went where we had to go, did what we had to do and it's nice someone shows the appreciation for it," said Tisak. "It's a great honor to be here. Not only for myself, but the men I was in combat with."
Corporal Bob Kennedy from Pittsburgh served in the 3rd Brigade 82nd Airborne Vietnam War. Kennedy was a combat infantryman who participated in over 25 combat assaults and was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, the Army Commendation Medal and the Bronze Star.
"It's extraordinary that the Steelers honor the veterans every year and especially not forgetting all of the veterans," said Kennedy. "You can look around and see all of the wars, and the Steelers should be commended for honoring all of the veterans. It's quite an honor to be here. I am happy to represent the Army. To see all of the other warriors that have a combat infantry background is exhilarating and the Steelers should be commended for it."
Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm was represented by Sergeant Robert Lessman, Jr. from Greensburg, Pa. Lessman served with the Army Reserve's 14th Quartermaster Detachment that was attacked by an Iraqi SCUD Missile that destroyed the barracks. Lessman received a Purple Heart for injuries he sustained in the attack.
Sgt. Adam Bouse from Cranberry Township, Pa., served with the 10th Mountain Infantry during the Iraqi War. He was awarded a Commendation Medal for Valor for providing life saving first aid and evacuating four wounded soldiers, while under enemy indirect fire.
Sgt. Zach Stinson from Shippensburg, Pa., served in the Marine Corps during the Afghanistan War. Stinson stepped on an IED, causing him to have both of his legs amputated as well as his fingers. Stinson has spent the last two years in the hospital, and was able to come from Walter Reed National Medical Center for the game.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Just for a moment, it looked like a storm might dampen Saturday morning's festivities during the reopening of the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library.
"Is it raining?" museum president and CEO Gail Naughton asked a crowd estimated in the thousands, as a few drops of rain sprinkled the ground. "Well, maybe that's good today."
A downpour later developed after the speeches, but those rain drops, and the July heat, didn't dampen Naughton's spirits.
"I'm energized," she said, shortly after the museum opened its doors to a flood of visitors. More than 5,000 people were counted in the first 15 minutes alone. "This is the fun part. We need to celebrate."
The celebration was four years in the making. The museum was inundated with at least eight feet of floodwater in June 2008.
Last summer, the 17,000-square-foot building was moved from the banks of the Cedar River to higher ground in Czech Village on 16th Avenue SW.
An addition was built, bringing the museum to 50,000 square feet.
Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), along with public officials from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, addressed the visitors from the steps of the museum.
"There is no doubt that it would overcome the challenges," Grassley said. "The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library is one of Iowa's great cultural treasures."
The opening ceremony followed a Parade of States Pageant that went through New Bohemia in southeast Cedar Rapids, across the river into Czech Village.
Seven countries and 18 states were represented in the parade, with many participants wearing kroje, or ethnic costumes.
Events continue throughout the day with tours of the museum and exhibits, including the work of Alphonse Mucha.
Musical performances, food and drink are outdoors under tents, and Czech Village and New Bohemia restaurants are open throughout the weekend.
A gypsy jazz performance by Caravan of Thieves and a light show highlighted Saturday night's events.
The Pageant of States and ribbon cutting ceremony will re-air on KCRG 9.2 Saturday July 21st at 12:00pm.

Hi guys, I hope I am posting in the right thread and that I am not violating any restriction here...
I am trying to find out if someone has ever made a purchase from the entertainment earth site. Basically I made a preorder and now they sent me an email asking for my credit card`s ccv, billing address, credit card number, etc; all the information to get your card stolen. (and yes, it is a legitimate email from them, they want to make sure there is no credit card fraud)
I just want to know if this has ever happened to someone buying there, to please let me know if everything went ok, otherwise i´ll have to cancel my order.
Thanks for all the help you can give me!

|Amazing alternative at under 10 miles round trip. No trail above 10,500' which made for a long day. On the ridge the whole time above tree line which made for great vistas - particularly of Princeton and the Chalk Cliffs. Saw not a sole until near the summit. May put a route up at some point.

Last month we embarked on a mission to build a big, wild, and nasty big-block engine to compete in the West Coast radial tire ranks. It is a class reserved for rowdy engine combinations stuffed under the hoods of ordinary stock-suspension equipped cars that roll on 275/60-15 drag radials in the back. Fierce competition has pushed this heads-up eliminator into the 7-second zone forcing our editor, Henry De Los Santos, and his racing partner, Artis Houston, to step up their game. The plan was to build a 598ci engine that fits with the 3,300-pound minimum vehicle weight they are shooting for, which takes into account the Hogan's sheetmetal intake and the conventional-style Edelbrock Victor 24-degree cylinder heads.
The LA-based group of racers showed up on the doorstep of Pettis Performance (Hesperia, California), where Jason Pettis and his capable staff filled in the details and built a powerful combination. The ever-determined race shop sought 1,100 hp and 8,800 rpm from this engine in order for the team to contend for the title. Pettis' goals for this engine combination were quite lofty, especially since the cylinder heads weren't of the Pro Stock origin like a set of Big Chief or other unconventional race-style heads. The Edelbrock Victor/Musi CNC 24-degree cylinder heads are considered a conventional set of heads, but they have race-style features like generous valve sizing and healthy port size and flow.
Pettis only had to make a few modifications to the out-of-the-box heads. "All we did was add a larger intake valve and increase the cross section of the intake ports. Edelbrock did a great job out of the box," he said. "We did increase the runner volume of the exhaust ports due to the nitrous. The reason for that is a nitrous motor has a larger exhaust gas volume than a naturally aspirated engine because of all the extra fuel. The exhaust gas is also hotter, so there has to be more volume to allow it to expand. Another reason for the port volume is that the bigger motor requires bigger ports to achieve the rpm levels we were shooting for."
The goal with this massive 598ci bullet was 8,800 rpm, a lofty one but that rpm range was needed in order to keep up with the quick blower and turbo combinations that are taking over the Wild Street category. You could hear the enthusiasm in Pettis' voice, "I was impressed with how this combination worked with the cubes and it went right to 8,800 rpm. With the correct intake and cam, these heads would work great even on a 632! Sure, a Big Chief or other spread-port head would outperform it, but this is a 24-degree head."
It takes more than a great set of cylinder heads to turn serious rpm and make over 1,100 hp on the dyno. Pettis explained, "the intake has to have enough runner cross section and plenum volume to support the 598ci." Hogan Intakes built a custom sheetmetal intake based on the target hp range of this bullet. It wears two Holley HP series 1050 Dominator carburetors that were dialed in on the engine dyno. The cam is top-secret but Pettis did admit to lift numbers of 0.950-inch for the intake and 0.900-inch lift on the exhaust lobes. "The valvetrain is the biggest key for a high-rpm combo, the 4.500-inch stroke isn't that big of a deal," commented Pettis. The team relies on Jesel rocker arms and lifters as well as super-thick Manton pushrods. Valvetrain stability can be directed back to the small details, one of the biggest is the way the Pettis Performance shop sets it all up on the heads. Pettis spent some time working the heads and the rocker stands to his liking, namely to ensure a solid foundation. The Jesel rocker arms are also longer and feature a roller-bearing wheel tip.

Lying is done with words, and also with silence-
Gamespot is not the best Video gaming website anymore, so i guess now i have a lot of other options to choose from, but hey at least all the other websites give us the option to block/report users/offenders or at least to set your profile to private or to friends only . but guess what? Gamespot is now supporting trolling with full force, no privacy setting, no Report Abuse but you're allowed to follow other members though O.O
and just for the reminder (and for those didn't know/or have no clue ) this is what i've been dealing with the past 4 months on this site.
Once upon a time i rated GTA IV and i gave it a low score and this what happened for the next 4 month (last time was about a week ago ) a none-stop of this:
(sorry but it seems that out new super awesome blog Editor is not yet ready too allow us to post images so i'm gonna leave a link for the image here)
(please try the link in the comment section, our new Blogging system sucks, and doesn't work properly (( links didn't work in here just on the wall )) )
all these names/accounts in that pic belong to the same person
4 months of harassing/threatening/ trolling and i'm sure he well come back again, this sick member created lots LOTS of accounts and i pointed Synthia and one of the Mods to his latest but they said they can do nothing (he's using a proxy ) but even tho he impersonated one of my friends with that new account using his same Username and according to our ToU it's not allowed and you can ban members for this. but no one did anything about his new profile and of course he came back (Sythina gave him last warning ) but of course no one did anything so he came back and started attacking my posts again.
Synthia did helped me a lot but it was too much to handle tbh i mean she banned 3 of his other accounts (including his main account ) but he kept showing again and again and again BUT at least with our good ol' Gamespot we used to have the "options" to block or at least to set our blogs/profiles to friends only , but now we can't.
"And not only the pride of intellect, but the stupidity of intellect. And, above all, the dishonesty, yes, the dishonesty of intellect. Yes, indeed, the dishonesty and trickery of intellect."
― Leo Tolstoy
Don't get me wrong old friends, i'm ok with changing things for the better, BUT changing EVERYTHING while killing the site's "Unique" identity and spirit in the process to give you the feel that you're starting fresh/from scratch and somehow that will make things look or even get better was totally........stupid and naive.
to my new Gamespot
"Don't be afraid of enemies who attack you. Be afraid of the friends who flatter you."
The new Gamespot has a neat looking layout i give them that, but everything else sucked a big time, and i blame all those Azz-kissers who wasted a precious time pretending to like everything just because they felt "honored" for being invited to the Beta, they helped killing our site's spirit, instead of being totally honest to say what they actually had in mind. of course i give my thanks to all the other honest members who did their best to mention few @Uesugi-dono @pokecharms @Elk you guys did the best you could.thank you for being honest.
now just for the reminder to CBS/Synthia/ Staff/Mods and Friends i'm not leaving because I DIDN'T LIKE THE NEW SITE, because even though that everything sucked a big time, i wanted to stay and support my favorite Video Gaming site and friends but i'm leaving because i don't feel SAFE posting on this site anymore without getting harassed and insulted with all the death/rape threats....Only on Gamespot!
hope you get real Gamespot and stop insulting us "unintentionally" by ignoring our rights as members. and if our "new" site or let's say "system" is too weak to protect all its members , at least give us the right to protect ourselves!.
to all of those who want to keep in touch with me:

Till next time old friends, who knows :)
"Many people in a rather reckless context claim to 'just tell it like it is'. In actuality, nobody really stresses what one says so much as the motive behind what one says; hence, he is merely blowing hot air and detracting from 'what is'."

Mork & Mindy Season 3 is another season from the Happy Days episode in which an alien from the planet Ork landed on Earth and attempted to kidnap Richie. So popular was the nutty character created by Robin Williams that Williams was given his own series in the fall of 1978, and it became an instant hit. Mork was a misfit on his own planet because of his sense of humor (he was heard to call the Orkan leader, Orson, "cosmic breath"). So the humorless Orkans sent him off to study Earthlings, whose "crazy" customs they had never been able to understand. Mork landed in a giant eggshell near Boulder, Colorado. Pretty Mindy McConnell, a clerk at the music store run by her father, befriended the newly arrived the Orkan. In Mork & Mindy Season 3, Mork looked human, but his strange mixture of Orkan and Earthling customs such as wearing a suit, but putting it on backwards, or sitting in a chair, but upside down led most people to think of him as just as some kind of nut. Mindy knew where he came from, and helped him adjust to Earth's strange ways. In season three of Mork & Mindy DVDs, she let him stay in the attic of her apartment house, which scandalized her conservative father, but not her swinging grandmother, Cora.
Actors: Pam Dawber, Robin Williams
Year: 1980

In what will only be interpreted as more evidence of the dawn of the "Post PC era," Intel announced today that it will quit the consumer motherboard business after 20 years and end all production and development of mainboards after its next CPU is introduced. The company said it would wind down operations of its Intel Channel Board Division over the next three years with the final new designs released around the company's upcoming "Haswell" CPU.
"We disclosed internally today that Intel's Desktop Motherboard Business will begin slowly ramping down over the course of the next three years," Intel spokesman Daniel Snyder told Maximum PC today. "As Intel gradually ramps down its motherboard business we are ramping up critical areas of the desktop space including integration of innovative solutions for the PC ecosystem such as reference design development, NUC, and other areas to be discussed later.

So for the last month i've been using my Samsung Fasinate. Which is great. It's been working well. But it only has 512 megs of ram. Verzion does not let LTE phones activate on the prepaid network. Are there any non LTE phones with 1GB of ram?
Nexus 4
I've been researching that. That doesnt work on verizon does it?
Posted 15 February 2013 - 21:36

No, there is no CDMA version. Regardless of LTE works or was blocked in the new update. It didn't work on Verizon before and it won't work on Verizon after.
I've been researching that. That doesnt work on verizon does it?

Posted 15 February 2013 - 22:50
think with CDMA its a band that a chip in the phone has to support which is why most phone manufacturers release phones differing in numbers like say lumia 822. iphone prolly has same problem except they dont release different version number for it or it carrries everything required. Personally i hate apple, not cus of their products but cus of there business practices, make someat sue the competition. thats all there game plan seems to me.
spose iphone is a good bit of hardware (crap in respects to the stuff in it on each revision cus i think they hold stuff back cus theyve got nothing else in the works) but it works lots of ppl like it, lots of apps. Android is a bag of mixed reviews, i like the sgs 3 but id prefer wp myself. Guess i just hate conforming to the norm hahaha. wp is good just starting to jog atm i think, wont be long before its sprinting. Upto you, personal preference

School bus drivers in Santa Rosa County went public this week with health and safety concerns about the buses.
The 5-year-old buses have mold on their roofs, bald tires and often have too many students on them, driver Diane Bence said.
"These buses have deteriorated due to neglect," said Bence, who has routes in Navarre and Midway. " … It's not just a little bit of mold, it's the entire roof of these buses."
Bence said working conditions have worsened in the seven years she has driven buses in the county, especially in the last two years. She said she and other drivers have been denied sick days by Durham Student Services, the private company running transportation for the school district, and their concerns are rarely heard by management.
Read a statement from Durham Student Services. >>
"When we go in to work in the morning it's not uncommon for us to be cursed at," she said. "Durham really doesn't seem to care, and all we're asking for is respect."
To combat the issues, Bence said 60 percent of the drivers recently decided to unionize and join Teamsters Local 991 in Mobile, Ala. Durham has refused to acknowledge the relationship, she said.
Union officials from the Teamsters and several international labor unions traveled to the county Thursday for an evening meeting with drivers to hear more about their concerns.
"I'm haunted by the condition of the buses," said Bobby Morton, a national officer for transport in the United Kingdom with Unite the Union.
He said he plans to approach Durham's parent company, National Group Express, about issues with the buses and employees' working conditions.
"We will throw all our resources into making things change," Morton said.
The school district first contracted with Durham Student Services in 2008. According to Superintendent of Schools Tim Wyrosdick, the district has no concerns about the company's performance.
"I am satisfied and happy with Durham transportation," Wyrosdick said.

The issues right now are between Durham and the bus drivers union, he added.
School Board member Hugh Winkles said although he didn't have any safety concerns with Durham, either, two meetings with bus drivers prompted him to recommend management changes for the new contract the district now is negotiating with the national company.
"As far as severe issues, you know, there's not," said Winkles, who is serving his sixth term on the board.
The School Board is slated to vote on the new transportation contract at its April 25 meeting. Three companies submitted offers, but the board opted to negotiate with Durham once again.
View the proposal from Durham for the new contract »
According to the company's proposal, employees will see a pay increase when the new contract begins, two new buses every school year and the promise that "safety is always our first priority."
"Durham School Services will continue to devote the resources both locally and from our corporate headquarters needed to provide the safest, most cost-effective school bus transportation services that (Santa Rosa County School Board) has come to expect," a cover letter with the proposal stated.
When reached for comment Friday, a spokesman for National Group Express said the company is focused on safety, and that protocols are in place to report and deal with any potential issues with the school buses.
"We are disappointed that the Teamsters sought to cast accusations on the safety of our drivers, our equipment and the services we provide through name-calling and use of anecdotal stories with disputed facts," spokesman Blaine Krage said in an email."It is unfair to the public in Santa Rosa that the union used this tactic to incite concern and fear throughout the community when in fact school buses are the safest way for students to get to school, and Durham is a leader in safe transportation."

C. Everett Koop, the former surgeon general of the United States who started the government's public discussion of AIDS during the Reagan administration, died Feb. 25 at his home in Hanover, N.H. He was 96.
A spokeswoman for the C. Everett Koop Institute at Dartmouth confirmed his death but did not disclose the cause.
Dr. Koop was the most recognized surgeon general of the 20th century. He almost always appeared in the epauleted and ribboned blue or white uniform denoting his leadership of the commissioned corps of the U.S. Public Health Service. With his mustacheless beard, deep voice and grim expression, he looked like a Civil War admiral or, as some cartoonists suggested, a refugee from a Gilbert and Sullivan musical.
The theatrical appearance, however, masked a fierce self-confidence, an unyielding commitment to professional excellence, and a willingness to challenge the expectations of his patrons.
A 64-year-old retired pediatric surgeon at the time Ronald Reagan nominated him in 1981, Dr. Koop had no formal public-health training.
Dr. Koop, however, believed information was the most useful weapon against HIV at a time when there was little treatment for the infection and widespread fear that it might soon threaten the general population. In May 1988, he mailed a seven-page brochure, "Understanding AIDS," to all 107 million households in the country.
"He was a guy who surprised everybody," said Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who was Dr. Koop's chief tutor in AIDS matters and became a close friend. "People expected one thing and they not only got another thing, they got someone who was amazingly effective."
Among AIDS activists Dr. Koop became an unlikely hero, although some came to think that his sexually explicit talk tended to further stigmatize gay men.
Dr. Koop was also a tireless campaigner against tobacco. As surgeon general, he released a report in 1982 that attributed 30 percent of all cancer deaths to smoking. He wrote that nicotine was as addictive as heroin, warned against the hazards of secondhand smoke and updated the warning labels on cigarette packs.
