Application. This Ford Racing 4.10 Ring and Pinion Gear set will fit all 2005 to 2010 V6 Mustang models equipped with a 7.5" rear end. A master bearing kit is recommended by most installers, especially on high mileage vehicles, see drop down option above.
Technical Note. Installation costs will vary, but a good rule of thumb is between $250 and $300. Be sure to work with a reliable shop that you trust for installations.

For freedom-loving Americans, freedom of speech is one of the most treasured rights guaranteed to us.'
Obviously, there are limits to free speech (shouting Fire in a crowded theater, threatening to harm the president, ect.), but what about when the danger of the speech is political?
Some examples:
If we are in a war, should it be illegal to speak out against the war?
Should it be illegal to condemn our allies or America during peacetime or wartime? Should it be illegal to write a book that portrays America or our allies in a negative light?
If someone were to say (only say, not actually do anything mind you) "I will not participate in Obamacare and if they want to steal my tax money to punish me they can come get it themselves and if they put me in jail so be it because that's what I believe in" - should this person be arrested for speaking about doing something illegal (not complying with the health law or tax law)?
Suppose someone doesn't have any weapons or anything illegal or dangerous like that, but they talk a lot with their friends about a revolution and publically speak out against the president? Should they be arrested, executed, or deported for trying to undermine the United States Government?
Which of these examples should be illegal and prosecuting in the United States of America?
or if none of these, where do you draw the limits of free speech when it comes to issues of loyalty to the nation, and possible subversion or anti-American speech? At what point do they become traitors? At what point should dissent be considered treason?

NSU students observe Earth Day
Students and members of the community converged on Northeastern State University's Second Century Square on Tuesday to spend an afternoon celebrating Earth Day.
The event featured tables sponsored by campus organizations, prizes and music by Chris Espinoza. NSU's Earth Day theme was "Gather Here. Go Green," and was organized by the Committee for Sustainability and the Northeastern Student Government Association (NSGA).
Rural smallholders host annual show
More and more, many people are showing growing interest in learning the sources of their food, including meat. As such, interest in farm-to-table living is increasing.
Saturday, the Rural Smallholders Association held its annual spring show at the Cherokee County Fairgrounds, promoting the farming of sheep and goats, along with giving the general public a sample of their products.
Wanted man nabbed during traffic stop
Cherokee County sheriff's deputies arrested a wanted man this week after a traffic stop near South Muskogee and Willis Road.
Hurley D. Pitts, 40, was being sought by authorities on a motion to revoke a previous sentence.
Sheriff's Deputy Jarrick Snyder said he stopped a car after it ran off the road a couple of times. A woman was behind the wheel, and Pitts was sitting in the passenger seat.
Communiversity Band performs Sunday
Musicians from on and off the Northeastern State University campus have made their final preparations for an upcoming performance of the NSU Communiversity Band.
The ensemble performs Sunday, April 27, at 7 p.m., in the NSU Center for the Performing Arts. The conductor is Dr. Norman Wika, associate professor of music and band program director. Guest conductor is student Kameron Parmain. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students and seniors.
"Everything has come together very well this semester," Wika said.
"We have about 40 musicians, and everyone who started the rehearsals has stuck with it. This could be the best Community Band concert yet."
Council concerned over reports of land contamination
Negotiations involving the purchase of nearly 20 homes on 7 acres of land near Basin Avenue hit a snag Monday night when concerns surfaced over potential contamination of the area.
Tahlequah Mayor Jason Nichols had proposed the city purchase the homes and duplexes as a large step in a greenbelt project, which would establish a solid park and trail system from the downtown area to the site of the city's old solid waste transfer station.
Until Monday, details of the negotiations had been mostly discussed behind closed doors, though Nichols confirmed the list price for the property to be $480,000.
Council tables cell tower permit apps
Tahlequah city councilors on Monday opted to hold off on approval of two special-use permit applications that would help AT&T install a couple of 150-foot cell towers within the city.
Branch Communications is asking for the permits as it attempts to construct two monopole cell towers – one on Commercial Road near Green Country Funeral Home, and another at the Tahlequah Public Schools bus barn on Pendleton Street. Other towers are being built outside of the city limits.
Members of the city's planning and zoning board gave their OK for both permits last month.
Walk a Mile 2014
Men squeezed into feminine footwear Saturday by the hundreds to walk in solidarity with women on the issue of sexual violence – and their clop-clop-clopping echoed down Muskogee Avenue.
The fourth annual "Walk a Mile In Her Shoes" brought men to Norris Park, accompanied by their enthusiastic female supporters, to walk – and often wobble – in high heels over a mile-long course to raise funds for Help-In-Crisis.
"It hurts every year," said John Christie, a Sequoyah High School student participating in his third Walk a Mile. "I get home, sit down, blisters come up and the calves hurt. But it is worth it. It's for a good cause."
Michigan man gets 13 years on plea to rape, sodomy of girl
A 28-year-old Michigan man will spend about 13 years in an Oklahoma state prison after pleading guilty to four counts of first-degree rape and one count of sodomy involving a 13-year-old girl.
Christopher Dale Adams, of Lake Orion, Mich., received a 13-year prison sentence for each of the five charges, to be followed by seven years suspended. All sentences will run concurrently.
Police take down pair on pot distribution charge
Tahlequah police officers arrested a pair Sunday night for allegedly possessing marijuana with the intent to distribute it.
Tahlequah Officer Cody Warren said police were asked to investigate when 35-year-old Amy N. Logan, of Tahlequah, allegedly took a family member's car without permission.
While Warren was speaking with the owners of the vehicle, Logan arrived along with 26-year-old Theoplilus James Mollie, of Tulsa.
Two nailed with meth, pot hidden in bag of chips
Two people were arrested early Monday morning when Tahlequah police stopped a vehicle near Basin Avenue and found methamphetamine and marijuana hidden in a bag of chips.
Tahlequah Officer Cory Keele said he noticed a Nissan heading north on Park Hill Road, and the vehicle later stopped in an intersection.

How to Help Out Around Instructables
People often ask how they can help at Instructables, especially if they are too far away to come in person. Below are some things you can do to help.
Welcome new users
New users are often confused about Instructables and how to get the most out of it. I used to welcome people, and when it got to be too much for me alone, we turned it over to the Instructables Robot. Unfortunately, the Robot isn't that good at responding to questions, so that's where you come in. You can welcome new members to the site by introducing yourself and leaving a comment on their Orangeboard (found at the bottom of every member's profile page). Here's an example of what the Robot says:
Hello! Welcome to Instructables!
I am the Instructables Robot. My job is to alert you whenever someone leaves you a comment or sends you a private message. I spend most of my day sending email. I like sending email.
You probably want to upload an image to your profile. You can do that
here, as well as change some of your other account settings.
After that, check out
How to write an Instructable, The Guided Tour of Instructables, and the Help Forum if you have any questions.
Welcoming people can be very rewarding, and I really miss having the time to do it myself.
Leave/respond to a comment
For some, it takes some courage to make a first comment or post a first question, and it feels really good to have that question answered. So, a huge way to help out is to engage new members with a comment -- it shows them the strength of our community and gives new members a great first experience.
Help out in the Answers Section
You're smart, share your knowledge with others. You definitely know the answer to a question posted in our Questions & Answers section.
Help us fix Bugs
We're not perfect, and sometimes we break the site. If you find an issue with the site you can post a bug report in the forums. If you do a really good job of reporting a bug you can earn a free Pro Membership!
Help Authors with their Instrucables
Think you know what makes a good Instructable? You can share your insight and help authors make their work the best it can be by offering support in The Clinic.
Are you doing something more to help out around the site? Leave a comment below and let us (and other members) know what you are doing to help welcome people and keep the site awesome!
I am leaving positive feedback to other community members :3
hi.. i am promoting this site within my school in India.. i am in grade 12 and love to make and design projects. I have a few suggestions regarding the website. This is a great medium for us youngsters to interact with street geniuses :D
Hi trker :0) Greeting new members should not be a job, it is an honour. We are all kind of a family around here (but mom loves me best) Hah hah ;0)
I have always thought a meet-up would be lots of fun :0)
However, if you keep an eye out for Maker Faires in your area, there are often folk from the site in the crowd, or running stalls.
cordially. bobna
i have suggestion to the INSTRUCTABLES team. it's only an idea.
why can't make ur T-shirt more attractive and cooler.You can conduct a contest for selecting the new design for the T-shirt. maybe u can alter or change the logo a bit.
I would be really sad to see the shirt changed :0( I love the retro look, and I wear mine with pride. I wash it inside out, and never put it in the dryer. When I wear it to elementary schools, the kids love it! I get tons of wonderful comments. When that happens, I hand them an Instructables sticker. Fun way to meet kindred spirits.
Change the logo?? Noooooooooo!
LOL - seriously, though, try posting this as a fresh topic in the Feedback forum, see what folk think.
Do you offer membership for finding typos in website corporate provided information?
This article has one: Help Authors with their Instrucables
Five and a half years...
instructables is really amazing.i really had no idea where this stuff comes from.sharing each others views,projects,DIY i love it. i would like to help to join the new members.
I really want to tell everyone at indestructible that I am really loving this site. I have not posted anything that I have done on this site yet, but I am looking forward to the day that I do finally put one up. Then I needed to see if there was someone that could change my Screen name for me, since it automatically picked one for me I was not able to pick one on my own. I tried to change it in my profile but there was no spot that would allow me to change it. I also wanted to find out where we needed to go, if we wanted to apply for a job working remotely. This just sounds like a great company to work for, and I would love to start helping out anyway I can. -Christa
To change your username:
If you don't know it, or only know part of it, then you need to go to google, and type in the search string;
insert the bit you know here site:http://www.instructables.com/member/
so i typed their name :P anw thanks :)
If not, I can't think of a way to do this. Well, except for the obvious way: writing the code on top of a cake with chocolate, and having that cake delivered to hirs house, but you would need a snailmail address for that...
Here's more information about the Artist In Residence (intern) Program.
And FAQ's...
As this updated forum topic shows, there's plenty of other ways to help out making new members feel welcome beyond the original Robot greeting.
Thanks for you reply!
The only thing I have to say in response is - Laziness is the only possible cause of boredom. Oh yeah and - paper comes from trees and is a valuable natural resource, I'd have to agree that applying it to purposes for which it is horrifically unsuited is DUMB (oops was that not nice?).
Despite your comment, I am not lazy. The reason I spend so much time on instructables is cause' I homeschool and my parents let me go on instructables while the questions load and when I have spare time. But they DON'T let me run off and go work on my latest project or drawing during school. Thus I'm not lazy, I would perfer to spend at least some of my time on instructables drawing or building.
This great forum topic probably needs to be edited to comment out the "Welcome new users" section, since it cannot be accomplished except by happenstance.

Many studies show that by teaching kids about conservationism and sustainability at an early age we create much more environmentally aware and responsible adults. When Judy Shils included her young daughter, Erin Schrode, in her environmental protection efforts as part of their daily lives living in Northern California, she proved these studies correct. Erin grew up with positive environmental stewardship as a well-worked family value, so it is no wonder that she grew up to develop the organization called "Teens Turning Green: A Way of Life," a collaborative youth-led movement to change the world.
Originally called Teens for Safe Cosmetics, Erin launched the campaign in 2005 in an effort to ban toxic substances such as lead, mercury and other harmful chemicals from cosmetics. Erin and her mom, soon to be joined by other teens from local middle and high schools, identified common cosmetics used by teens, and then went to work with scientists and chemists to develop safe, green alternatives to the toxic make-up currently on the market. It wasn't long before Erin and her team travelled to Sacramento to testify before the legislature and ban poisonous ingredients in cosmetics. Their mission was successful and with a desire to widen their sphere of influence into other areas of environmentalism, sustainability, and protection of the earth and its resources, Teens Turning Green was born.
They soon moved into the educational field, launching a school awareness program called Project Green Dorm on such things as food service, janitorial supplies, landscaping and classroom products. They held a public rally in San Francisco during prom season to highlight the ease, functionality, and availability of eco beauty, fashion, décor and transportation options, and named their efforts Project Green Prom. They also launched Project Lunch, a movement to make quality food affordable and available to everyone.
Today, Teens Turning Green makes and distributes their own line of skin and body care products through trusted companies, and founded the first Project Green Challenge in October 2011, that challenged students and schools across the world to participate in eco-awareness and conservation efforts across the board.
Teens Turning Green started from one small spark that became a catalyst for positive change in the world, and Erin and her group promise to keep forging ahead, inspiring young people to know, care, act, dream and do.

In 2006, Republican cyber security expert Stephen Spoonamore was interviewed by a major news outlet and he blasted Diebold voting machines and the stealing of elections. The story was killed but now you can see that explosive interview thanks to VelvetRevolution.
Today, we officially launched our new campaign called NRAWatch.org to (1) expose the NRA, (2) hold it accountable for misleading the public, (3) urge people and organizations to withdraw their support from it, and (4) support legislation, executive actions and grassroots initiatives to further common sense regulation of guns, especially assault weapons, high capacity magazines and universal background checks. Initially, we are asking whistleblowers, insiders, and hackers to release information regarding NRA activities that demonstrate ethical breaches, corruption, or criminality. If that information is provided to us, we will publicize it and provide it to the FBI. If the information results in an arrest and conviction, we will pay up to $100,000 to the person who provides that information. We are accepting information at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A BBC investigative journalist's interview with Jeffery R. Holland, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, raises intriguing questions about the LDS Church and its beliefs.
The documentary, released in March but yet to be broadcast Stateside, is called The Mormon Candidate and featured a sit-down interview in the LDS Church Headquarters in downtown Salt Lake City between British reporter John Sweeney and Holland.Among Sweeney's questions were several relating to whether U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney would have pledged to cut his own throat or disembowel himself before revealing the secrets of the LDS temple ceremonies. In edited footage, Holland said, "That's not true." He later says that vows would have been made "regarding the ordinances of the temple." Such penalty oaths were taken out of the temple ceremony some time ago, one Sweeney interview subject said, albeit after Romney would have taken his temple oaths.
Sweeney asked Holland about church members shunning those who leave their faith. Holland noted that he would choose not to cut out of family life one of his children if they decided to leave Mormonism.
Others highlights of the interview include questions relating to the baptizing of dead Holocaust victims, similarities between the LDS Church and Masonic organizations and whether the LDS Church is a cult. By this point in the interview, Holland's distinct unease had unraveled to almost cavalier frustration. "I'm not an idiot," he told Sweeney—nor, he implied, are the 14 million members-plus members of his growing church.
Sweeney also brought up the "Strengthening the Members" committee, a group within the LDS Church that polices polygamists and other vocal apostates or breakaways from the church. Holland acknowledged their continued existence as a group dedicated to protecting the church's membership from dangerous critics.
Perhaps the most interesting question is why the interview took place at all. The LDS Church is not known for allowing media to interview its hierarchy.
Given that Sweeney was responsible for a controversial BBC documentary on the Church of Scientology—including an infamous on-air rant by Sweeney against church media handlers—the wisdom of agreeing to a sit-down with Holland is a head-scratcher, particularly given the way Holland struggled to answer some of Sweeney's unabashedly direct questions.
A PR firm for the church
hand-delivered to BBC offices in London a letter complaining about the
"ambush" interview, according to The Guardian.
The documentary will be broadcast in the United States later this year—presumably before the election.
They are throwing their tantrum at the "gotcha" questions, because they weren't given the questions ahead of time so that they could completey not answer with wordsmithing. (anyone remember the "that's more of a Cuplet" comment by Hinkley?). Holland was forced to say things he didn't have time to really figure out how to dance around.
I'd like to expose some information on Mormons. I'm an African American and my father was a Mormon before the LDS church allowed the priesthood go be given to colored races. My father was a faithful member, god bless his soul, but they would make him sit in the back of church, his calling was the janitor, and they requried him to work for free at least 20-30 hours a week. I hate telling this story becuase it shakes me to the very core. I just will never understand how the Mormons have been able to rip-off all of humanity. I don't know if I should be exposing them, but while I was praying the our Lord God last night, I felt strongly that the Mormon church is lead by the father of all lies. So, I'm going to scream and shout until these false prophets are out of our land. Praise the Lord Jesus, Amen brothers and sisters!
During the 70s, the psychology department at Brigham Young University\ (Mormon religious school in Provo Utah) experimented with electroshock \ aversion therapy in an attempt to cure homosexuality. Patients who went \ through BYU's program were shown erotic pictures of people of the same \ sex. When the counselors monitoring the patient sensed he or she was \ getting aroused, an electrical shock would be delivered to the patient. \ In later sessions, if a patient felt himself or herself being aroused \ they could press a plunger to stop the shock and an image of a fully \ clothed member of the opposite sex would appear on the screen.
BYU's attempts to cure homosexuality using electroshock aversion \ therapy are better known, but they were not the only method used. \ Patients undergoing treatment for what the church still calls same-sex \ attraction could be treated with a drug that would make them nauseous \ injected into them while looking at the images depicting homosexual \ activities, and a different drug that would cause euphoria injected into\ them while viewing images that depicted heterosexual activities. \ Neither method worked.

Awww poor JohnnyLingo62... the questions were direct, but they weren't "gotcha" And what an assumption that the interviewer got his info from "anti-mormon" sites... you can get most of his info from anywhere!
And as far as humanitarian aid is concerned, by it's own numbers the church only gives around $5 per member, per year. Pretty pathetic.
Mormons are SO good at nourishing their persecution complex!
I have seen the 'documentary' and thought it a complete travesty.
The logic went something like this:
1. Mitt Romney is a Mormon
2. Let's interview a bunch of people who are not Mormons and see what they think about Mormons.
He interviewed:
A. Polygamists who acknowleged they have no connection with the Church
B. Disaffected former members,
C. Evangelicals who have no connection with Mormons at all, and
D. Commentators
He focused on the most scurrilous, salacious and conspiracy-minded material he could focus on, showed precious little evidence for any of it, and left the bigotry in his viewers' minds to connect the dots.
It was a hatchet job and was unworthy of the BBC. There was no attempt at any meaningful understanding of Mormonism and, even worse, said nothing at all about it chief premise - ie how Mormonism might influence a Romney Presidency.
This "Documentary" style interview does appear to be an "I gotcha" type of product. I don't think Sweeney has any knowledge of the actual doctrines, beliefs, or purpose of the LDS Church. It sounds like, from these exerpts that he has read all the Anti-Mormon Blogs and Books and anything that could be "sensationalized" and provides no balance with "normal" church worship activities.
I'm not naive to think that only "good" reports should be given about the LDS Church, however, unless his finished product includes the "positive" aspects that the current members feel as they attend church meetings, serve in their communities, provide humanitarian aid, provide free genealogy records, and try to follow the teachings of Christ, then his project is very incomplete and one-sided focusing on the edgy, non-doctrinal musings of detractors and apostates.
We still believe in free exercise of thought and action. Free Agency means we can choose the activity, but with every activity there is an associated consequence, whether good or bad...

Ive been thinking about class combinations recently, and I figured Id post something about it. I assume this topic has been covered elsewhere, but I didnt research it all that much since I wanted little outside influence on my hypotheses. Feel free to set me straight in the comments. The genesis of this post is the question, What would be the best group of characters and the most synergizing skill setup amongst those? I decided to limit this thought exercise to one group member per character class, so that rules out answers such as 4 l33t barbs spinning in infinity! The focus of this post is going to be farming runs where the kills come relatively quickly, and assuming a good level of gear for each character. That is, NOT someone who is hitting inferno with his first, self-found character. Lets say roughly 75K DPS and at least a 30% critical chance from gear. Obviously a higher-powered group can turn up the MP for optimal farming speed/bonuses. I also didnt want to just take the most popular builds verbatim; Im going to gimp each character a little bit, so that the group as a whole can benefit. But I dont want to nerf the builds significantly-that would sacrifice too much farming speed.
So what would such a group look like, in my mind? I would start with the best character in the game which is, of course, the witch doctor. The monk is obviously designed for group buffs, so I chose him. The barbarian seems to be a popular fellow, so Ill throw him into the mix. And, finally, I couldnt pass up the crowd control abilities of the wizard. That leaves out the demon hunter. I am not saying the DH is an inferior character; Ive played in plenty of groups where she is the strongest member. I am not saying there are no DH builds that will help a party. There are only 4 spots for 5 classes, so somebody had to be left out. Im sure the DH fans will list options in the comments.
Youll see why shortly, but I guess the name of this type of group would be Health Globe Farming. Ideally, if this works out in actual game play, you would be able to turn up the MP a notch or 2 from where you typically farm, taking advantage of skill synergies without slowing down your farming speed. None of this is written with hardcore mode in mind.
Witch Doctor
Battle.Net build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...UQd!YcT!cbZZbc
Whats in there: Im going to use Grasp of the Dead / Death is Life to generate additional health globes-along with some fungible minions. Gruesome Feast takes maximum advantage of those extra globes. The 1.08 patch improved Firebats significantly, and Im going to put the damage output of Cloud of Bats to maximum use. Big Bad Voodoo / Slam Dance is included to boost group damage against elite packs.
Whats missing: I prefer Hex / Jinx for its additional damage and defense, but Gargantuan / Bruiser would work out just as well. I did not include a low-mana skill, but you could swap out Soul Harvest if your gear does not support a build with only 2 Secondary attacks. Zombie Bears are great, but hopefully youll see later why I chose Firebats.
Gear considerations: Pickup radius is highly-recommended; the witch doctor is going to act as the groups cleric by sucking up those extra health globes. An Echoing Fury is discouraged due to its high Fear proc rate (more on this later).
Recommended synergizing skills: The skills I see as most necessary for the benefit of the group are Grasp of the Dead / Death Is Life, Gruesome Feast, and Big Bad Voodoo / Slam Dance. Hex / Jinx is borderline due to the additional damage bonus. All of the other skills can be swapped out for personal preference. In particular, if youre getting enough mana from GF, Pierce the Veil would be better than Blood Ritual. For extra fun, try Fetish Sycophants-MOAR minions!
Battle.net build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...Xfk!fUc!aaYbZa
Whats in there: Cyclone Strike / Implosion is going to be used to gather trash mobs to be easily dispatched. Exploding Palm / The Flesh Is Weak will increase damage against elites, and get some chain reaction damage to trash mobs. The whole group will benefit from Mantra of Convictions damage boost. Breath of Heaven couples with Guiding Light for a 20% damage boost.
Whats missing: Arguably the best monk skill is Wave of Light. The reason I did not include it is due to its knockback effect. We want as much of the trash mobs in one place; Wave of Light works at cross-purposes vs. Cyclone Strike. Mantra of Healing / Circular Breathing only benefits the resource generation of the monk-not the entire group. Fleet Footed, Tempest Rush, and Way of the Hundred Fists / Blazing Fists are not recommended due to the movement speed boosts above the gear cap; farming will work best if most members are moving at a similar speed (probably 24% these days). You could even make an argument against the Thunderclap rune on Fists of Thunder due to its movement boost, but that may risk gimping the build too much (monk players-opinions?). Crippling Wave / Breaking Wave might benefit the group more than FoT.
Gear considerations: Echoing Fury is discouraged due to its high Fear proc rate (yes, this will be mentioned for all four classes).
Recommended synergizing skills: Exploding Palm, Cyclone Strike, Breath of Heaven, Mantra of Conviction, and Guiding Light. Other than that, pick your favorite Spirit generator as well as your preferred Passive Spirit booster.
Barb Battle.Net build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...URk!ZaY!YZcZYc
Whats in there: BORING! I know, I know but its the most popular build in the game for a reason. My one tweak is to throw in Pound of Flesh for extra health globe generation. Everyone in the group will benefit from War Cry / Impunity. I realize Im contradicting myself with the inclusion of Sprint and Wrath of the Berserker; Ill cover that later in discussing how the group will operate as a team.
Whats not in there: Battle Rage / Swords to Ploughshares and Threatening Shout / Grim Harvest were considered, but ultimately I decided it would be too much of a nerf. But, hey, if youve got a lopsided group where you need the barb to do less damage, throw them in!
Gear considerations: Dont even THINK of using an Echoing Fury.
Recommended synergizing skills: War Cry and Pound of Flesh is all Ive got. Inspiring Presence would also work.
Battle.net build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...YgO!Wag!ZYacZc
Whats in there: Basic Critical Mass / Frost Nova build with some tweaks. The Bone Chill rune will yield a damage boost to the group. Same goes for Slow Time / Time Warp, along with the Cold Blooded passive. Power Hungry will allow us to take advantage of the extra health globe generation. Meteor serves an important function as the only ranged damage-dealer in this group; thats certainly a weakness of this combination. A bunch of arcane sentries spinning in a tight space could wreak havoc-although thats true of most groups, I suppose.
Whats missing: I didnt include a Signature spell, so Im counting on globes plus Arcane Power on Critical Hits to fuel both Meteor and Energy Twister. If your gear wont support that, Shock Pulse / Piercing Orb would work well; I would recommend against Spectral Blades due to its limited range. Teleport might make more sense than Diamond Skin if the other group members are constantly finding themselves ahead of the wizard (old habits die hard). Note that Archon is NOT recommended as we want the wizard to be locking down enemies with Frost Nova as much as possible.
Gear considerations: Three guesses, and the first two dont count.
Recommended synergizing skills: Frost Nova, Slow Time, Cold Blooded, Power Hungry, and Critical Mass. If youre overflowing with AP you could swap out Power Hungry for Glass Cannon, or your other favorite passive. If youre getting enough critical hits with Meteor you could drop Energy Twister for something else. Due to group tactics, Wave of Force is discouraged.
Tactics trash mobs
So heres how I see this group working together in the best way. The barb is the point character. His job is to whirl through a trash mob, find another trash mob, and lure it back to the other three members of the group. The witch doctor and monk should run as close to one another as possible. The monk will be hitting Cyclone Strike to pull together enemies and popping at least one with Exploding Palm. At this point, a cast of Breath of Heaven will probably yield maximum utility to the group. Our witch doctor will be anticipating where the monk will pull in the monsters, and then casting Grasp of the Dead in the center of that area. Once the monk creates the Implosion, WD starts channeling Firebats. The wizard will stick close to the monk and witch doctor, casting frost nova for enemy lockdown. Since the mobs will be packed closely together, Energy Twister and Meteor will hit multiple enemies per cast, while Slow Time will encapsulate many monsters. Finally, note that this is why an Echoing Fury would be sub-optimal; we want trash mobs grouped as tightly as possible before Cloud of Bats starts swirling and meteors rain down from the sky.
Tactics elites
The barb does what he does best: spin around in circles. If he isnt already there, he should pop Wrath of the Berserker. The monk should try to hit as many of the elites with Exploding Palm and look for the best opportunities to refresh Breath of Heaven. Our witch doctor needs to quickly survey the immediate battlefield and cast Big Bad Voodoo in a good spot. The earlier in the fight, the better, but it doesnt hurt to wait a few seconds in order to get the damage boost in the best area. And the wizard locks down as many elites as frequently as possible. In theory, the group could be benefitting from all of the following skills at one time: Hex / Jinx (20% increase in damage to a monster), Big Bad Voodoo / Slam Dance (30% damage boost to the group), Mantra of Conviction (24% additional damage-and 48% in bursts), Exploding Palm / The Flesh is Weak (12% additional damage), Guiding Light (20% more damage), Frost Nova / Bone Chill (15% more damage), Slow Time / Time Warp (20% more damage), and Cold Blooded (20% more damage). Pretty frickin sweet.
If youve read this far, thanks for indulging me. If you havent, that means I can insult you with impunity: youre a compleat loser. And now I look forward to the demon hunter fans unleashing a withering barrage of fletching in my direction. Or perhaps they will find no quarrel with my analysis.

Re: Thoughts on class combinations
Wow long post :-). I recently switched over to HC for lack of a good challenge in SC. The group that I played with:
Wiz using cmww (me)
Monk with overawe, cyclone strike, and guiding light
Barb with war cry impunity using HotA
DH using echoing blast mines
The monk would run ahead and draw together huge crowds with cyclone strike. I would tele into the fray and keep everything immobilized
The barb and DH would smash and blast the elites into pieces
With overawe our combined sheet dps came close 1.5m so MP10 was pretty much a joke (excluding Act 2 since some of the elite affix combinations are downright impossible to deal with)
It would be nice to have that huge dps boost temporarily provided by a WD, but with everything standing still the DH's mines did just fine.
I obviously agree with your choices of class synergy since we already used most of them in our play group already. I'll only criticize the wizard since that's what I play most: you could argue that it's a preference, but never choose meteor over explosive blast. Casting meteor Interrupts any other attack animation and spamming a ton of meteors will really hurt everyone's frame rate. Explosive blast has a lower cost to cast and just does so much more damage. Power hungry passive does help with AP, but it requires the wizard to move to get the globes... bad idea. A better choice would be evocation to reduce cool downs. To further help cool downs use the 9 second rune instead of the 15% damage boost on frost nova. The damage boost could be useful, but keeping monsters immobilized is the primary role of a cmww wiz. Anything that takes away from that... just takes away from that. Lastly, considering the barb already using war cry impunity, using prismatic armor on top of that will just be overkill. If the wiz is doing a good job freezing things, then a more useful skill would be storm armor shocking aspect. It'll provide a huge dps boost against elites (for the wizard at least) and keep a larger available AP pool.

Re: Thoughts on class combinations
Thanks for the reply. I've played the wizard the least amount, so I have no doubt that your suggestions are spot on. My thinking was (in theory) that Meteor would be the one ranged damage spell the group has, which is the main reason I chose it over EB. Power Hungry grants AP whenever the wizard is healed by a health globe; ideally the witch doctor will be sucking those up as soon as they appear with +pickup radius equipment-not that there's anything wrong with Evocation, of course. I got nothin' on armor choices-I'll defer to your suggestion of Storm Armor.

Gambrinus Awarded the Title "Czech Beer" by the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (Translation)
3 November 2009
Prague, 2nd November 2009 - The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) awarded the most popular Czech beer, Gambrinus, permission to use the registered geographical name "Czech beer." Prior to awarding the certificate, a series of in-depth audits and checks of the materials used and of the production process were conducted, based on strict criteria. These were conducted directly in the production plants- in the Plzeň, Velké Popovice and Nosovice breweries.
"Receiving the certified authorisation to use the registered geographical name Czech beer is, without a doubt, proof that Gambrinus brews high-quality beer, thanks to the use of modern production equipment in combination with traditional recipes. Also, the name Czech beer has been a big international success for the Czech beer industry and I believe that it will contribute to maintaining the Czech beer phenomenon in its traditional understanding," says Jan Hlaváček, main brewer at the Gambrinus brewery.
According to specialists, Czech beer is unique thanks to the use of high-quality ingredients, which come from specially selected areas, as well as classical production technology. For a local beer, it is, in comparison to other beers, characterised by a higher amount of unfermented extracts, a higher amount of polyphenols, higher pH, a bolder colour, flavour, aroma, bitterness and vigour. Gambrinus is a typical representative of Czech, Plzeň type, beer. It is brewed only from natural ingredients, with a classic double-mash system. It is distinguishable by a more golden colour, with a soft lingering bitterness and a typical pleasant aftertaste of malt, which supports the fullness of this beer.
The term "Czech beer" is officially protected by a geographical name (CHZO), which was granted by the European Commission in response to demands made by the Czech union of breweries and malt plants. The system of protecting the name of an agricultural or a food product was established by the European Union in 1993 with the aims of protecting producers from competitors who plagiarise, and of protecting consumers from unwanted deceit. Protected names also serve to promote quality.
Inspectors from the CAFIA checked documents about the origins and quality parameters of ingredients, and checked the process of production (e.g., the composition of ingredients and hops, the temperature and malting time, information about the hops, information about the brewer's yeast used, the temperature of fermentation, etc.). In a laboratory they analysed parameters from the production of hopped wort (beer fog, extract, bitterness, achievable overfermentation of beer) and of the final product (alcohol, extract, colour, bitterness, pH, etc.).
The conditions for using the name Czech beer are:
- place of production: at a brewery located in the Czech Republic
- place of origin and composition of basic ingredients (including contextual specification in percentages): malt (from approved harvests of barley), hops (from the Žatec, Ústí nad Labem, Tršicko regions, from the Žatec medium-ripening červeňák [a type of hops], Sládek, or Premiant), water (from local sources with specified hardness), brewer's yeast (brewer's yeast for lower fermentation of beer)
- classical production of beer, based on specification - that is decoction, one to three malting processes, decantation, and boiling of hops. After the boiling of hops finishes, it will cool to a fermentation temperature, then it is aerated and brewer's yeast will be added. Fermentation has to take place in two phases. After finishing the second fermentation phase, the beer is filtered and put in barrels. Unfiltered beers can be also produced.
- indicators of quality of final products
The designation of Czech beer was awarded by the CAFIA to three other local breweries from the Plzeňský Prazdroj, a.s. portfolio - these are Pilsner Urquell, Velkopopovický Kozel and Radegast.

Sandringham Club campsite is in a delightfully secluded spot, within the grounds of the Royal Estate in Norfolk. Campers will love the tranquillity offered by this woodland site where many pitches are set among trees. Away from the site nature and RSPB reserves and the sandy beaches of the north Norfolk coast including Hunstanton and Brancaster will keep all family members entertained. You won't have to venture to far from your unit to find things to do at this Club Site. The Sandringham Estate, the country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen, has more than 60 acres of gardens and 600 acres of woodland and heath – over a quarter of which make up the country park which is open to the public. There's also a visitor centre, a restaurant and a museum of royal memorabilia and vehicles. Quiet roads and forest tracks around the site are ideal for walkers and dog walkers. Cyclists too can enjoy the quiet roads and Norfolk Coast Cycleway which passes the site. Worth Noting The site is now fully digital and TV reception is good. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora or fauna. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices. Eat Local The Sandringham Visitor Centre sells produce from the Royal Estate, including apple juice, pies and preserves. Farmers' markets are held at Snettisham and on Sandringham Estate.

Andy and Nessa (Club Member) stayed Aug 2013 This review is for Sandringham The site is beautiful, right in between the pine trees and has a very natural, unspoilt, woodland feel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It's close to the coast and King's Lynn if you need a big supermarket. Very close to Norfolk Lavender which has something for all the family. The site is very large with pitches to match. The toilets and showers are ok, but the floors get dirty easily when it's wet outside. The kids loved cycling around the roadways, which are relatively flat. We had to complain about the speed of some cars on the site considering there is a 5mph speed limit and there were so many children about. I appreciate that the staff need to ride their bikes to show people to their pitches, but this in itself encourages drivers to exceed the speed limit as soon as they arrive. On the downside, if you are looking for a decent play park then boy oh boy are you going to be disappointed. With such an abundance of wood available, surely you can come up with something better than this guys, it's nothing short of embarrassing. Please get your act together before we visit you next season!

We have stayed in better sites for half the price. Sandringham is a good walk away, however if you have a dog there is a severe cut off point as to where you can explore.

Career mortality and why Sapp says veterans are no longer needed
Story Highlights
Derrick Brooks is an unwanted commodity and Warren Sapp knows why
LB Keith Bulluck has interesting prediction for Titans-Steelers opener
More on Tweetups, Roy Williams workout routine and guest MMQB authors
It's happening to Derrick Brooks. After 11 Pro Bowls, six first-team all-pro nods, one Super Bowl victory and one Defensive Player of the Year award, football is saying to him, "We don't need you anymore.''
He always knew it would happen, and he's prepared himself for a career after football as well as anyone can, but it's happening too fast, and he's not really ready to go. He can't believe he's in his 17th week of unemployment after being cut by the Bucs, and no team in the NFL has offered him a chance to sign, even for relative pennies.
I'm stunned by it, quite frankly. I don't care if the guy gets wheeled into a locker room with two broken legs. Derrick Brooks is a football player's football player, one of the best students of the game I've ever seen. He keeps voluminous notes, he watches hours of tape on days off, he calls his coaches after midnight in the off-season to brainstorm. (True story. Ask the new Seattle defensive coordinator, Gus Bradley, formerly the Tampa Bay linebackers coach, about Brooks calling late one spring Saturday night with an X-and-O idea.) And to think that 31 teams in the National Football League can't use one of 53 spots on a roster for a leader like Brooks who still has the needle on one-quarter ... I don't get it. I called around the league to find out why, and I got a bunch of he's not the same Brooks ... we're trying to get younger ... he's not quick enough for our scheme. Blah, blah, blah.
I understand an NFL team is going to employ between six and eight linebackers, usually, depending on whether the team runs a 3-4 or 4-3, and I understand that Brooks isn't going to be an every-down player at 36. So the book says if you're going to have a linebacker playing 20 snaps a game, he'd better play a huge role on special teams. And Brooks, at his age, wouldn't be the kamikaze type you'd want out there. So it comes down to this: An NFL coach would have to keep one fewer special-teams demon in exchange for having one of the best leaders in the league. And that's why Brooks sits home in Florida today, waiting for the phone to ring.
But there might be something else.
"I'll tell you the real reason,'' his friend Warren Sapp said over the weekend. "Because it's not the same for the veterans anymore. The NFL doesn't need us. In this NFL, the old vets don't factor in. The kids don't listen to nobody. Nobody! My last year in Oakland, I'd try to talk to some of the kids. Tommy Kelly, Terdell Sands. But they had no interest. I thought the ghosts in that building were so valuable, but none of the young guys cared. Once in a while, one of the old legends would come in the building, or make a trip. Jack Tatum would be around, and I'd say, 'You know who that dude is? You know how he played?' And the kids would be like, 'Nah, I don't care.'
"The game's different now. Look at Vince Young. Why wouldn't he listen to Kerry Collins? I'm sure Vince thinks, 'Nobody's been through what I'm going through. Nobody's been through my kind of pressure.' Are you kidding me! Kerry Collins, fifth pick in the draft, has all the ups and downs, gets benched, makes those racist comments, has the alcohol problems, moves from team to team, comes back, has success ... Vince Young should suck up all the knowledge Kerry Collins has to offer! There's no better role model for him.''
I have heard that Collins went out of his way last year to try to help Young when the struggling quarterback was having his quasi-breakdown. Young had no interest. Maybe Sapp's on to something. If he is, it's a sad commentary on the kids of the NFL. I remember being in Tampa last year to do a story for SI on Brooks playing Adrian Peterson and the Vikings, and I thought at least one of the young linebackers, Barrett Ruud, tried to siphon off Brooks' knowledge.
Brooks told me he wants to play one more year. His gut feeling is he'll get picked up. His agent, Roosevelt Barnes, told me the same thing Sunday evening. Some teams have sniffed around -- the Saints, most notably -- but no offers have been made.
"I'll tell you how committed I am to play, and playing well,'' said Brooks. "I was hurt most of last year. First time in 14 years I've been hurt, and I played hurt. It affected me, obviously. But I wanted to play well so badly this year that I skipped the Pro Bowl after the season, and the day after our season ended, the day after we lost to Oakland in the last game, at 1 or 2 in the afternoon, I was in the trainers' room doing my rehab work on my hamstring. I didn't want to have any setbacks by playing in the Pro Bowl.''
When new coach Raheem Morris called Brooks Feb. 25 and asked him to come in and see him, Brooks knew he was being let go. He snapped into the phone: "Are you kidding me!'' Since then, he's devoted time to training, and to his young education causes, including seeing his first senior class of 16 students graduate from the Brooks-DeBartolo Collegiate High School. It's the first charter school in the county that contains Tampa, and Brooks swells with pride about the lives he's helped change by giving inner-city kids a chance at a better education. All 16 of his charges will be attending college in the fall.
The fall. That's when Brooks hopes he's playing. Somewhere.
"The reality in this game is we're all going to walk into work one day and be told, 'You're out of a job.' '' he said. "I don't think it's my time yet.''
It's not up to him. For someone who always controlled his own fate with his effort and his play, that's the hardest part.
Four other notes as we head into the dead period when most teams closed up shop and rest prior to camps opening in late July:
The commish will be bullish on any alcohol issues. Roger Goodell sent a stern letter to the 32 teams last week, in effect telling coaches and those in the front office to have fun this summer, but legal fun. In the wake of sidelining Donte' Stallworth indefinitely without pay after a DUI/manslaughter conviction, Goodell sent these words to each team: I want to use this opportunity to remind all NFL personnel -- both players and non-players -- that the prohibitions on alcohol-related misconduct, including DUI, apply to everyone. DUI is a serious matter which poses great risks to both those who drive under the influence, and innocent third parties. This truth was tragically underscored in Mr. Stallworth's case. In the past few years, I have not hesitated to impose discipline, including suspensions, on club and league employees who have violated the law relating to alcohol use. Every club should advise its employees of their obligations and our commitment to hold people accountable for alcohol-related violations of law. Please ensure that your employees are aware of the resources available to them, including Safe Ride and similar programs. Let's make sure that the 2009 season does not bring more tragedy or embarrassment to ourselves and our employees.''
Brett Favre is throwing the ball with the old zip, evidently. Bob Papa and I had the coach of the high school where Favre is throwing, Neville Barr, on our Sirius NFL Radio show the other day. Favre's been throwing at Oak Grove (Miss.) High School, and Barr said: "He looks good. He said it was still a little uncomfortable, but I thought he threw the ball well. He had a lot of velocity and zip on it.'' It's a matter of time, as we all know. Only a setback in his throwing will stop him from being at Vikings camp.
The retired players are still restless. If you thought the $26 million settlement the NFL Players Association reached with retired footballers would have calmed the masses, you're wrong. First, because more than 2,000 players share in the settlement, the money per player is about $10,000. Good, but not life-changing. Second, because the pensions for many players are as low as $172 a month, restitution needs to come quick, and it needs to come now. "We have more than a few destitute Hall of Famers,'' said former Bills guard Joe DeLamielleure. "And we have golf tournaments to raise money for all these different charities, and that's a good thing. But we can't even take care of ourselves.'' DeLamielleure said he liked what he heard from new NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith, but he's not throwing any confetti until he sees the lot of the retired men improve.
Doesn't the Eli Manning contract seem long overdue? Remember right after the season, when there was a spate of stories about the Giants and Manning doing a new deal? Well, Manning enters the last year of his original contract this fall -- it'll pay him $8.95 million -- and a contract isn't on the horizon. Not that it's going to affect Manning. But it's surprising that Manning delivered what he was brought to New Jersey to deliver, a world title, and a deal hasn't gotten done. My guess is something will get done in the next couple of months. Hard to imagine Giants GM Jerry Reese even floating the possibility of Manning playing for the franchise number in 2010.

MESSENGER Completes Its 3,000th Orbit of Mercury, Sets Mark for Closest Approach
On April 20, MESSENGER completed its 3,000th orbit of Mercury and moved closer to the planet than any spacecraft has been before, dropping to an altitude of 199 kilometers (123.7 miles) above the planet's surface.

NASA Completes LADEE Mission with Planned Impact on Moon's Surface
Ground controllers at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., have confirmed that NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft impacted the surface of the moon, as planned, between 9:30 and 10:22 p.m. PDT Thursday, April 17. LADEE lacked fuel to maintain a long-term lunar orbit or continue science operations and was intentionally sent into the lunar surface. The spacecraft's orbit naturally decayed following the mission's final low-altitude science phase.

NASA Rover Opportunity's Selfie Shows Clean Machine
In its sixth Martian winter, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity now has cleaner solar arrays than in any Martian winter since its first on the Red Planet, in 2005. Cleaning effects of wind events in March boosted the amount of electricity available for the rover's work.

Join in the Cassini Name Game
Starting in late 2016, the Cassini spacecraft will repeatedly climb high above Saturn's north pole, flying just outside its narrow F ring. Cassini will probe the water-rich plume of the active geysers on the planet's intriguing moon Enceladus, and then will hop the rings and dive between the planet and innermost ring 22 times. Because the spacecraft will be very close to Saturn, the team has been calling this phase "the proximal orbits." But they think someone out there can conjure up a cooler name. Here's where you come in: you can choose your faves from a list already assembled, or you can submit your own ideas (up to three).

Images From NASA Mars Rover Include Bright Spots
Images taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on April 2 and April 3 include bright spots, which might be due to the sun glinting off a rock or cosmic rays striking the camera's detector. The image from April 3, from Curiosity's Navigation Camera, is online at:

Scientists Favor Four ExoMars Landing Sites
Some 60 scientists and engineers came together March 26-28, 2014, for the first ExoMars 2018 Landing Site Selection Workshop, held at ESA's European Space Astronomy Centre near Madrid. Their task was to begin the process of drawing up a shortlist of the most suitable landing locations for ESA's first Mars rover. The workshop attendees favored four candidate sites - all of which are located relatively near the equator - that were considered to be the most likely to achieve the mission's objectives. They are: Mawrth Vallis (for which 2, very similar, proposals were received), Oxia Planum, Hypanis Vallis and Oxia Palus.

NASA Mars Rover Curiosity Scoping Out Next Study Area
On Wednesday, NASA's Curiosity Mars rover drove the last 98 feet feet (30 meters) needed to arrive at a site planned since early 2013 as a destination for studying rock clues about ancient environments that may have been favorable for life. The rover reached a vantage point for its cameras to survey four different types of rock intersecting in an area called "the Kimberley," after a region of western Australia.

Cleaner NASA Rover Sees Its Shadow in Martian Spring
Late afternoon lighting produced a dramatic shadow of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity photographed by the rover's rear hazard-avoidance camera on March 20, 2014. The shadow falls across a slope called the McClure-Beverlin Escarpment on the western rim of Endeavour Crater, where Opportunity is investigating rock layers for evidence about ancient environments. The scene includes a glimpse into the distance across the 14-mile-wide (22-kilometer-wide) crater.

NASA Mars Rover's Next Stop Has Sandstone Variations
Variations in the stuff that cements grains together in sandstone have shaped the landscape surrounding NASA's Curiosity Mars rover and could be a study topic at the mission's next science waypoint. On a journey with many months yet to go toward prime destinations on the lower slope of Mount Sharp, Curiosity is approaching a site called "the Kimberley." Scientists on the team picked this location last year as a likely place to pause for investigation. Its informal name comes from a northwestern Australia region known as the Kimberley. The Martian site's geological appeal, based on images taken from orbit, is that four types of terrain with different rock textures intersect there.

NASA Orbiter Safe After Unplanned Computer Swap
NASA's long-lived Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter put itself into a precautionary safe standby mode March 9 after an unscheduled swap from one main computer to another. The mission's ground team has begun restoring the spacecraft to full operations.

New Horizons Reaches the Final 4 (AU)
New Horizons sailed past another milepost today when the NASA spacecraft moved to within four astronomical units (AU) of Pluto - which is less than four times the distance between the Earth and the sun, or about 371 million miles (598 million kilometers).
19 Feb 2014
Curiosity Adds Reverse Driving for Wheel Protection
Terrain that NASA's Curiosity Mars rover is now crossing is as smooth as team members had anticipated based on earlier images from orbit. On Tuesday, Feb. 18, the rover covered 329 feet (100.3 meters), the mission's first long trek that used reverse driving and its farthest one-day advance of any kind in more than three months. The reverse drive validated feasibility of a technique developed with testing on Earth to lessen damage to Curiosity's wheels when driving over terrain studded with sharp rocks.

NASA Mars Orbiter Views Opportunity Rover on Ridge
A new image from a telescopic camera orbiting Mars shows NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity at work on "Murray Ridge," without any new impact craters nearby. Rover tracks from Opportunity, as well as the rover itself, are visible. A rock, dubbed "Pinnacle Island," appeared in January 2014 next to Opportunity where it had been absent a few days earlier. After that, researchers using HiRISE planned this observation to check the remote possibility that a fresh impact by an object from space might have excavated a crater near Opportunity and thrown this rock to its new location. No fresh impact site is seen in the image.

Mars Rover Heads Uphill After Solving 'Doughnut' Riddle
Researchers have determined the now-infamous Martian rock resembling a jelly doughnut, dubbed Pinnacle Island, is a piece of a larger rock broken and moved by the wheel of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity in early January. Only about 1.5 inches wide (4 centimeters), the white-rimmed, red-centered rock caused a stir last month when it appeared in an image the rover took Jan. 8 at a location where it was not present four days earlier. More recent images show the original piece of rock struck by the rover's wheel, slightly uphill from where Pinnacle Island came to rest.

NASA Moves Longest-Serving Mars Spacecraft for New Observations
NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft has tweaked its orbit to help scientists make the first systematic observations of how morning fogs, clouds and surface frost develop in different seasons on the Red Planet. The maneuver took place Tuesday, Feb. 11. Odyssey team engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and Lockheed Martin Space Systems of Denver, designed the gentle move to accelerate Odyssey's drift toward a morning-daylight orbit. The desired change will occur gradually until the intended orbit geometry is reached in November 2015 and another maneuver halts the drift.

NASA Mars Rover Curiosity Sees 'Evening Star' Earth
New images from NASA's Curiosity Mars rover show Earth shining brighter than any star in the Martian night sky. The rover's view of its original home planet even includes our moon, just below Earth. The distance between Earth and Mars when Curiosity took the photo was about 99 million miles (160 million kilometers).

Thanks America, New Horizons Ahead
New Horizons completed a quick, two-week maintenance wake-up on Jan. 17 and is back in hibernation. We'll wake the craft again in mid-June for our last active checkout, lasting about 10 weeks, on the journey to Pluto. We'll hibernate again from late August through early December, and then wake our baby up for the encounter we built her for.

Mega commit to bring RELENG_18 branch in sync with HEAD in preparation for release tagging 18d.
Change toplevel PROCLAIMs to DECLAIMs.
Patch from Jeurgen Weiss to translate-key-event which makes it deal better with european keyboards.
Fix headed boilerplate.
Copy new_compiler branch to trunk.
Say KEY-EVENT instead of STRUCTURE, since that's what we mean.
Fixed doc string.
Blew away defvar inits forms for variables also assigned in re-init-key-events. Call this function at EOF if variables have not been initialized.
Fixed syntax of defstruct key-event now that defstruct is less forgiving.
Changed BASE-CHARACTER to BASE-CHAR.
Added new header with RCS FILE-COMMENT.
Some bozo was assuming that all modifiers fall in the range 65505 to 65518, and was signaling an error if unknown keysyms were outside that range. Yes, they hard wired that range into the code.
Added eval-when (compile load eval) around defconstant of modifier-count-limit 'cause it's value is used in the defconstant for modifier-bits-limit.
Merged MIPS branch onto new-compiler branch.
#+clx'ed X only files.
Changed uses of ``string-char'' to ``base-character''
