Carbon deposits are the residue of unburned carbon particles. Incomplete combustion leads to deposition of these particles on the engine parts to form sludge. Carbon cleaning entails the removal of deposits on the engine components prone to carbon. Over time, these carbon particles dangerously build up impeding proper fuel flow thus the need to carry out engine carbon cleaning with the use of fuel injector cleaner. These parts include valves, cylinder wall, piston forehead, spark plugs, injectors, rings and sensors. Additionally, engine carbon cleaning also benefits the EGR valve, catalytic converter and the DPF filter.
The hazards of having significant carbon buildup in the engine include:
- Damage to the engine components due to carbon buildup.
- Reduction in compression ratio thus reduced efficiency.
- Power loss.
- Increased fuel consumption and reduced mileage per gallon of fuel.
- Increased exhausted emissions that don't actually meet exhaust emissions.
- More rigorous engine vibrations and general degradation of performance.
The Best Solution to Engine Carbon Buildup
Modern engines are fitted with the direct type of injectors. These spray atomized fuel directly into the combustion chambers. These parts, intake manifold, combustion chamber and throttle body are highly susceptible to carbon buildup. Before the advent of best fuel injector cleaner, the only way to get to where the carbon and sludge buildup is was by dismantling the entire engine. Today, fuel injector cleaners exist and make the work a lot easier. They clean all these unwanted particles from the inside of the engine without the need for a major dismantling, thus maintaining the engine almost effortlessly.
Fuel injector cleaners have the additional benefit of not only acting on the injectors themselves, but also on the entire fuel system and engine. The benefits of using cleaner are:
- Restored engine power
- Improved performance
- Lower emissions
- Better fuel efficiency
Regular maintenance using injector cleaners help in keeping the vehicle performance in satisfactory condition over extended periods of time. You will be surprised at how long your engine lasts without much loss of engine power. It is just like a detox program for humans. Upon successful clean up, the engine leaps back to life and performs even better than before.
Motorcycles, cars, light commercial vehicles and large vehicles are all suitable for engine carbon cleanup. A clean engine goes a long way in improving handling, maintenance in terms of the fuel consumption and also passes the emission standards for environmental friendliness. The entire fuel system and all the engine parts are serviced in a single act of using fuel injector cleaner. Having cleaned the throttle body butterfly, the intake manifold, piston crowns and all the related parts, the engine should now be clean and running at its maximum or theoretical performance.
In conclusion, the outlined solution of using fuel injector cleaner will undoubtedly work well in removal of sludge, carbon deposits, gum and varnish that builds up over time in the engine to reduce efficiency. I would offer you to read one more interesting article about how to clean fuel injector cleaners by yourself. By the way, a clean engine makes all the difference to the lifespan of your engine, efficiency, power and the emissions that emanate from its exhaust hen the engine is running.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Sean Elliott was tired Thursday, three days after his kidney transplant, but he said otherwise he's doing well and may return to the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs.
Appearing in public for the first time since receiving his brother's kidney, Elliott thanked well-wishers from around the world who have sent flowers, cards and e-mail messages.
"I feel like I'm doing great. I'm a little tired. But other than that, I'm just excited," he said. "I just want to enjoy life, that's for sure."
Elliott wore a golf shirt and warm-up pants and sat in a wheelchair beside family members as he spoke with reporters in the lobby of Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital.
Doctors performed the transplant there Monday.
Elliott's 32-year-old brother, Noel Elliott, underwent surgery to donate one of his healthy kidneys that morning. The kidney was immediately implanted in Elliott's body.
"It's been hard, kind of, to move. My brother gave me a giant kidney, so I've got this extra lump in here and it's a little different," Elliott said. "But it's working really good."
Elliott, 31, a 10-year NBA veteran who helped lead San Antonio to its first NBA title in June, needed the transplant because of a disease called focal segmental glomerular sclerosis.
Doctors don't know what causes the illness, which prevents the kidneys from properly filtering waste from the blood.
Without the transplant, Elliott likely would have had to begin kidney dialysis in a matter of weeks. He said there is no way he can repay his brother for donating the kidney, which Elliott called "the greatest gift."
"I've just got to be the best brother I can and take care of what he's given to me," he said, joking that he probably would get his brother some Spurs game tickets, too.
It hasn't been revealed when the two brothers will be released from the hospital. Sean Elliott is expected to stay longer, until about a week after the surgery.
"They're both doing extremely well. We couldn't wish them any better," said transplant surgeon Dr. Francis Wright.
Elliott has said he would like to return to the Spurs. On Thursday, he said he hadn't thought much yet about an NBA comeback, although he didn't rule it out.
"If I feel as good and keep progressing as I have been, I'm sure I'm going to want to have a go at it. But we'll have to wait and see," he said.
This week, Elliott has concentrated mostly on trying to walk around. He said he may spend some of his recovery time in Tucson, Ariz., his hometown where several family members live.
But because his doctors and treatment are in San Antonio much of his recuperation period will be spent in Texas.
Other NBA players have called, visited or sent flowers. Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, Detlef Schrempf and former Spurs player Vinny Del Negro have been among those offering support, Elliott said.
David Robinson, Avery Johnson and Steve Kerr of the Spurs have visited the hospital.
"Dave came by, Avery came by. Avery was scared to death. I think I scared him," Elliott said with a chuckle. "I had all these tubes and stuff coming out of me, so I don't think he was used to that."
Elliott and his family were tense the day of the transplant, he said.
"It was something else," he said. "I was a little nervous when I got out (of surgery), but they started telling me how good I was doing."
Elliott urged others to follow his brother's example and become an organ donor.
"I'm just so proud of him," Elliott said. "To be able to give a part of your body like that is just an amazing sacrifice."

I am trying to (temporarily) lower
smtpd_policy_service_max_idle on postfix 2.3.8 from 300s to 5s to debug a possible client-side problem. The following seem to state that my change is accepted, but when I purposely leave the client idly connected for >> 5 seconds I don't see a timeout disconnect message in mail.log that I used to see when the value was 300s.
sudo postconf -ve smtpd_policy_service_max_idle=5s; sudo postconf | grep _idle
ipc_idle = 100s
max_idle = 100s
smtpd_policy_service_max_idle = 5s
Do I need to restart postfix to for the setting to take effect? Is there another timeout value that provides a (higher) lower bound?
thanks -nikita

This recipe was great! I even lowered the calorie level by quite a bit by using 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil instead of 7. I also didn't add the butter, completely by accident though. In my opinion we didn't miss it. I also used boneless/skinless breast and thighs. The first night I served it with orzo pasta and spinach and the sauce (although really yummy) got lost with pasta. Second night I did couscous and brussel sprouts and it was great. I'll make this again!
Chicken in Garlic-Vinegar Sauce
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
Braising chicken in vinegar and herbs is a very popular way of cooking in Mediterranean Europe. Often paired with sweet sausage, this is a gutsy, wholesome dish that can be made a day ahead. Serve with whole-wheat couscous tossed with fresh herbs and steamed broccolini.
12 Reviews for Chicken in Garlic-Vinegar Sauce
I made this for a friend who is on a sodium reduced diet, but served to the whole party of four. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. I servedit over whole grain pasta, but it would be better over coucous as directed because the sauce is so good.

The colourful storyteller and library advocate was celebrated
for her decades of service to Dunedin libraries.
''I wondered why they were so insistent that I came along
this morning. I didn't expect this,'' a visibly stunned Ms
Morrison (40), of Waitati, said after the presentation.
She recalled spending her teenage years helping out in the
Blueskin Bay library, before getting involved as a
storyteller, event organiser and advocate for libraries.
About 100 people attended the annual ceremony and morning
tea, which is held to thank supporters and volunteers for
their assistance during the year.
The library choir also presented a series of Christmas
carols. A film about the library bookbus, by University of
Otago department of sociology students, What is This Thing
called the Bookbus?, also had its first public screening.

Roasted Beets
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 25 mins
Roasted sweet beets with olive oil, rosemary, salt n pepper is so earthy deliciously healthy. No peeling needed if using organic. Fresh beets do cook faster. Large older beets will take up to 1 hour. So do check small fresh after 25 minutes of cooking.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 -8 small organic beets, trimmed, scrubbed and quartered
- olive oil or canola oil
- salt and pepper
- fresh herb
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a large piece of non stick foil place the beets.
- Drizzle with olive oil sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs I prefer rosemary.
- Wrap foil enclosing beets.
- Place in oven.
- Check small fresh beets after 25 minutes large older ones may take up to one hour.
- I enjoyed with the skins but they are easily removed after roasting. If you did use organic and fresh it`s quite tasty.
Most Helpful
Love roastd beets! I mixed with some balsamic dressing and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks!

Re: Evaluating Convention
al vs. FHA
Also wanted to point out that VA & USDA, when available, are almost always a better option as there isn't any monthly mortgage insurance on either.
VA has a funding fee (similar to the upfront mortgage insurance premium that FHA has), first time use and less than 5% down is 2.15%, 5-9.99% down is a 1.5% funding fee, and 10% or more down is just a 1.25% funding fee. Subsequent use, no matter the LTV, is 3.3%. For a VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Rollover Loan) it's .5%, this is similar to an FHA streamline where it's easier qualifying in theory, however we are seeing some lenders add overlay guidelines. Reservists pay .25% more in funding fee's except for subsequent use & IRRRL's. Veteran's who had a service connected disability and also have a certain amount of disability rating can be exempt from having to pay any funding fees, and are often eligible for discounts/exemptions on property taxes as well.
VA is a good option when available and when putting less than 15% down. With 15% down or more, and FICO scores of 660 or higher, conventional starts gaining an advantage over VA since the mortgage insurance won't be much on conventional vs. the VA funding fee, and at 20% down conventional is almost always the better bet.
USDA Rural Development (RD) has two versions, a "Direct" program which is available to people who fall within the "low income" eligibility limits and the mortgage application is made directly to USDA, and the "Guaranteed" version which is available to people who fall within the "moderate income" eligibility limits. The properties also have to be in an eligible area. With the Guaranteed version, USDA charges a 3.5% guarantee fee (similar to FHA's upfront mortgage insurance & VA's funding fee) on purchases and 2.25% on refinances of existing USDA mortgages, currently these 3.5%/2.25% figures are what USDA is currently using even though they technically aren't official yet (this is what HR 4899 will put in place). Both the income limits & eligible areas can be found at http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/we
The USDA RD mortgage is a "loan of last resort", meaning if you can't qualify for FHA or conventional they then want you to try USDA. The reason they say this may be for many reasons, but the primary reason I believe is that USDA's funds are limited so if everyone used USDA vs. FHA or conventional then the people who truly need USDA or couldn't buy a home wouldn't have the option unless the fiscal year starts over. They don't require you furnish an FHA or conventional loan denial in order to obtain USDA RD financing, but from what I've seen it just really means if you have 20% to put down then they are going to question why the use of USDA and most likely will decline. USDA RD's advantages/disadvantages vs. conventional & FHA financing are the same as VA's.

The new Captain America teams up with Namor to recover the body of the original Human Torch! Plus, the shocking return of a character you never thought you'd see again!
A new story begins as two murders happen at the same time seemingly committed by a man who was on the other side of the world. Cue spooky music.
So, you can buy this comic or you can read the solicitation for this comic. They're pretty much the same thing, except the comic has some lovely art.
You know how the cover says there's a team-up between Green Lantern and Green Arrow? Well, there's not. Don't you love covers that lie?
uperman versus the ultimate embodiment of evil in 3D! Fun, epic and a little silly, this is one hell of a read!
Half of this issue is a fight scene, the rest is a bunch of talking with little said. But there's a character called the Silver Streak, which is kind of a funny name.
Eleven years after he debuted, Prometheus is back, as Sterling Gates and Federico Dallocchio explain away everything that happened since Batman turned him into a quadriplegic.
Not only does this issue begin the second story arc, but it marks the return of Mike Wolfer on art duties drawing William Gravel.
Pointless violence and lame humor do not a good comic book make. Someone should probably tell Daniel Way that.
Crude, juvenile, gratuitous, lacking in subtlety, nuance and taste. Other than that, "Kick-Ass" #5 is a great comic.
The first "Anna Mercury" series ends with a bang as the eponymous hero fights a giant laser cannon. How cool is that?
This comic should be better than it is with some really dynamic and intelligent ideas, but the execution is very, very bland.
With a weird antagonist, a team of unscrupulous villains, detailed art, and a giant pile of bricks, the latest issue of "Secret Six" is a winner.
Another solid and funny issue of "The Boys" with Garth Ennis continuing to poke fun at the X-Men, while also developing the relationship of Hughie and Annie with the aid of fill-in artist John Higgins.
Red Crow is revealed as far more complex and monstrous than thought before in the conclusion to "The Gravel in Your Guts."
This series ends with a meditation on the absurd nature of the Marvel universe and the Punisher's place in it, while he waits to kill some idiots on Christmas.
A disappointing debut issue from the usually brilliant Brubaker and Phillips that reads more like an imitation of the pair's work than the real thing.
Consistently one of the best books available, this issue is no exception as past and present are juxtaposed to highlight the differences between the Winter Soldier and the new Captain America.
Don't read this comic book. Instead, go buy some old Jim Starlin cosmic comics, because those were great, and this comic is so very bad. Just awful.
Steven Grant asks "What if the Kingpin's assassin killed Mary Jane?" and the answer will shock you in this thrilling look at how far a man will go for revenge.

Dr Smith, a senior lecturer in economics, was speaking in
Dunedin yesterday at the Otago International Health Research
Network's fifth annual conference.
Speaking later, he said obesity also often led to adverse
health and social outcomes.
Some countries, including New Zealand, had pursued market
liberalisation policies, in which some state assets had been
privatised and more market approaches adopted.
Some economic risks linked to employment had effectively been
transferred from the state to individual workers and their
families, contributing to increased insecurity among some
Research showed strong links between such countries -
including New Zealand - and rapidly rising obesity problems.
"There's a lot of evidence," he added.
In the United States in 2007, 33% of the population was
classified as obese, New Zealand following close behind with
27%, followed by the UK and Ireland (24%). Australia, Canada
and Spain all had obesity rates of more than 15%.
He noted that in the UK, a government study of many thousands
of civil servants found body weight had increased
significantly among workers in one government department
which had been switched to private sector control, increasing
their insecurity about retaining their jobs.
Many economic studies aiming to trace the cause of rising
obesity rates around the world had focused on food markets,
high-calorie foods having become cheaper and more widespread.
He noted that, in nature, fattening was a response to food
scarcity, animals storing energy as fat to survive periods
when resources were in short supply.
Humans were "no different", often responding to economic
insecurity in the same way.
In future, New Zealand government policies that aimed to
improve workers' sense of security and their enjoyment of
work could be used to help in "curbing obesity rates".
Such new policy steps could include encouraging worker
representation on company boards, which had already proved
successful in Germany, he said.

On the Inside, Steve Schwarzman Is Still Just a Short Kid From Philly

 Blackstone CEO and co-founder Steve Schwarzman comes across almost like a real-live human being in James B. Stewart's profile of him in this week's New Yorker, which traces the titan's childhood as the son of a dry-goods store owner in suburban Philadelphia (at 15, he is stymied by his father's reluctance to expand said store into a national chain, "like Sears") through the infamously lavish 60th-birthday party that helped make Schwarzman the poster child for greed and self-indulgence of the new gilded age. But despite the fact that he has a net worth of at least $10 billion, "I don't feel like a wealthy person," Schwarzman tells Stewart, cracking a window into his psyche. Contrary to his actions, he's also not entirely obtuse: "Private equity is seen as a symbol of the people who are prospering from a world in flux. That's a lightning-rod situation."
• "Other people think of me as a wealthy person, but I don't. I feel the same as when I was a fifth-year associate trying to make partner at Lehman Brothers. I haven't changed. I still think of Blackstone as a small firm. We have to prove ourselves in every deal. Every piece of paper is important. I'm always still trying."
• Until recently, Mr. Schwarzman had trouble booking a prime table in the Grill Room for lunch. When Mr. Schwarzman asked Blackstone co-founder Pete Peterson why, Mr. Peterson was said to have replied: "It takes more than just money."
• On the five properties he owns, altogether valued at $125 million: "I love houses. I'm not sure why."
• On the root of his ambition: "My father was very bright. My mother had enormous drive. Put that together, and that's my gene pool."
• On how it feels to be a subject of ridicule in the press. "How does it feel? Unattractive. No thinking person wants to be reduced to a caricature."
• On the birthday party: "It's a reminder that life is fleeting," he said. "Every day should be a good day. People fool themselves that they'll be here forever. I get a daily wake-up call that that's not true. We have limited time, and we have to maximize it. Live life intensely — I've always believed in that. I'm happy to be here. I was happy to make it to 60."

I need to install Internet Explorer as I deleted the entire install, it seems. When I try to install it an error message says I cannot because a newer version is already on my computer. There is nothing on my computer now except two files that wont do anything. I put them in the recycle bin, should i delete them? What can i do? Thanks!
Comments for this Question are closed.
Try deleting any old data that has to do with Internet Explorer, appdata...program data...etc. Once that happens try reinstalling, sometimes your version of windows wont "like" the newest version of internet explorer, which in that case you might want to pick a different browser such as chrome or firefox.
what is the two file name?
Download from microsoft. Make sure that you are indeed on a microsoft website
First delete them. And download the latest version. Also first update your windows because internet explorer needs latest drivers to run otherwise your installation will take long timeee.
Why not wait for IE 10? It will be coming soon and supports Windows 7!
IE 10 is here in Windows 8 and it doesn't support windows7
I'm sorry for incorrect information!
See, this is the advantage of being in MUO Answers, you always can get corrected if wrong! :)
Well, now it is. Windows 7 supports ie10 beta now.
please tell me how do you uninstall this completely. I tried never possibly could achieve it
Try adding features from Windows DVD
bruce is correct
Check Program Files. Maybe the two leftover items are dead shortcuts. In Program Files you can find the newer executable and create shortcut for it.
If it's really gone from your computer and you need to download it, visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/download-ie
Personally I won't miss it so much.

Re: # of Accounts - Really help or hurt?[ Edited ]

I went ahead and paid the $1 for my experian score too - 799.
So I just want to confirm
Experian - 799 - from Experian
TransUnion - 915 - from TU
Equifax 793 - from myFico
These then would be my real FICOs as all these are accurate places, yes?
Is there someplace I could learn more about the ranges of scores? I am most interested in why my TU is so much higher than the others? Is this typical?
EDIT: I was just reading more and it seems that TU scores can't be above 850 - so how in the world did TU show me a score of 915!?!?

City Downtown's New Grocery Store
posted by August 30 at 10:09 AMon
Downtown Seattle is getting a "full-sized" grocery store. Will at Horsesass cheers.
About time. About effin time. For downtown area residents, grocery choices are slim. Theres Whole Foods (too expensive), Pike Place Market (closes by 6pm every day), Dans Belltown Grocery (ok if youre a AIS student, but I rarely shop there), Ralphs (too fancy, expensive). A good grocery store can really tie a neighborhood together.
But Horsesass doesn't point out the most interesting detail:
The store will have no parking facilities…. That means, "What you can carry is what you can purchase," Myers said. To expand its service area, the IGA also will use small vehicles to make deliveries as far as the waterfront, Capitol Hill, Pioneer Square and the base of Queen Anne Hill.
That's great—now let's start building apartments and condos without parking facilities. Eliminating parking requirements for new developments will bring down rents, make condos more affordable, and move people on to mass transit. People that still wanted parking could opt to pay higher rents and higher prices for condos, of course, but the city shouldn't make those higher rents and condo prices mandatory.

WOKING, England (AP) - Formula One team McLaren has signed Mexican driver Sergio Perez for next season, part of a shakeup that is expected to see Lewis Hamilton move to Mercedes.
Hamilton's switch to Mercedes is expected to be announced later Friday. He would replace seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, who has also been linked to a move to Sauber to replace Perez.
Hamilton has been at McLaren throughout his F1 career but the team had been unwilling to match a lucrative offer from Mercedes, where he will team up with Nico Rosberg.
Perez signed a "multi-year deal" with McLaren after an impressive 2012 campaign that initially sparked interest from Ferrari.
"I'm thrilled and delighted to have become a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver. The McLaren name is one of the greatest in the history of Formula One," Perez said. "I was brought up on the great stories of Ayrton Senna's many world championship triumphs for McLaren and I'm truly honored that they've chosen me to partner Jenson (Button)."
The 22-year-old Perez was part of Ferrari's young driver program and was at one stage tipped to replace Felipe Massa, but that prospective move was reportedly overruled because some within Ferrari thought he was not experienced enough.
Perez has finished on the podium three times this season, and his performance at the Italian GP in Monza this month, where he finished second to Hamilton, was hailed as one of the most impressive drives of his young career and a sign that he could be a genuine contender for race wins in a faster car.
"It was a string of giant-killing performances, a trio of podiums and a brilliant fastest lap in this year's Monaco Grand Prix that showed us that Sergio lacks nothing in terms of speed and commitment," McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said. "We've been monitoring his progress carefully for some months and, now that he's become part of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team, our task will be to refine and develop his abilities as his career progresses over the coming years."
Hamilton won his only F1 title with McLaren in 2008, but the past two seasons have been a mixture of brilliant driving, clashes with other drivers - such as Massa - and controversial moments.
Hamilton angered team management by posting a photo of a telemetry sheet showing data from his and Button's car on his Twitter page at the Belgian GP recently. It was considered an unwise move by Hamilton to post such sensitive technical information and Button publicly criticized him for it, increasing speculation that Hamilton's move was imminent.

I'M AN ADVOCATE for just about anything that will help people save for retirement. These days we are pretty much on our own, so I am hopeful that a new starter savings account will help people jump-start their retirement savings.
Experts used to talk about the sources of retirement income - employer-provided pensions, Social Security and personal savings - as a three-legged stool. Now it is more like a bicycle. People are going to have to balance most of their retirement income on their personal savings and whatever they may get from Social Security.

Here's official proof that the Nobody Knows Anything Club is alive and fully functional: Marion Jones, given up for dead as an Olympic participant three days ago, now stands at least an outside chance of being placed on the U.S. team in both of the events she's attempted so far in Sacramento.
The long jump? That became a don't-even-ask-about-it proposition on Jones' second attempt Thursday evening, when the five-medal winner from Sydney delivered a leap of 23 feet, 4 inches -- her longest since 1998 and the best non-altitude jump in the world this year -- to bury the field at the Olympic trials.
And the 100 meters? Don't laugh. Despite Jones' fifth-place finish last weekend, it could happen.
The woman who ran second in the 100 last weekend, Torri Edwards, acknowledged Thursday that she tested positive for a banned stimulant earlier this summer. She plans an appeal before an arbitrator, but it's possible that Edwards will be stripped of her finish and barred from the Olympic team.
Here it gets interesting. Jones, as noted, ran fifth (in an uninspired 11.14 seconds) in that 100 final. The woman who finished ahead of her in fourth, and thus would be the first in line to replace Edwards if it came to that, is Gail Devers.
The one glaring omission from Devers' glittering résumé is an Olympic gold medal in the 100 -- the 100 hurdles, that is, for which she qualified with a win on Sunday. It is possible that if offered the 100-meter spot, she might decline in order to concentrate on the hurdles.
In other words, it suddenly is at least conceivable that Jones' fifth-place running in the 100 will net her a spot on the team in Athens. She's already got the long jump sewn up -- and if she jumps like this in Greece, she may well contend for a gold medal.
Jones was completely in control of the long jump. She led after her first attempt and landed all six of her jumps legally. She cleared at least 22 feet on every try. It was, for all intents, a Marion Jones performance from 2000 or before.
She beat runner-up Grace Upshaw by nearly a foot, and Upshaw needed a personal best of 22-5 on her final jump just to ensure that. It was an utterly commanding performance the likes of which Jones hasn't delivered in eons. And it raised the bar of what may be possible for her in Athens.
Provided, of course, she ever gets there.
Jones remains one of USA Track and Field's huge athlete issues -- and that presumes that a case will finally be formally presented against her as a result of the BALCO doping scandal in which she has been questioned and brought before a grand jury.
The Sacramento meet has been a graveyard for BALCO- and other drug-implicated athletes. Calvin Harrison finished fifth in the 400-meter final, leaving him as just a provisional choice for a 4x400 relay team composite. Regina Jacobs, scheduled to run in the women's 1,500 this weekend, abruptly retired. They joined a host of scandal-tainted athletes -- Michelle Collins, Alvin Harrison, Tim Montgomery -- who already have made exits from the trials, and one, Chryste Gaines, who failed in the 100 and will run the 200 in the coming days.
Heading into the trials, one of USATF's overarching concerns was that it might field an Olympic team peopled, in part, by athletes with pending drug cases, who would go to Athens, compete, and then later have their results washed out if their cases were resolved and they were found to be complicit in the drug use.
A dirty team, in other words. And considering the ways in which the U.S. Olympic movement is being pummeled internationally just now, it's the worst idea on wheels. The Americans already find themselves mistrusted on the issue of performance enhancement; sending a team with athletes already under formal investigation would exacerbate the problem.
Jones, though, isn't going to go away so quietly. Hers may well be the case that goes down to the Athens wire, or even beyond. And if anyone connected with track thought the woman might simply underperform enough to keep herself off the team, it was settled Thursday in Sacramento.
Marion Jones isn't done yet. She declined again to speak to reporters Thursday night, sending word through an official that she might do so after the 200. In other words, she's still competing -- and still a going concern.

This is a good explanation of how old computer systems generated their graphics.
I remember drawing sprites in the same way until I found programs to make that process much simpler!
This is a good explanation of how old computer systems generated their graphics.
I remember drawing sprites in the same way until I found programs to make that process much simpler!
If you ever owned a Commodore 64 and remember playing games on it in the 80s or very early 90s be prepared to be blown away by this demo released in 2016.
CSS3 C64 is an old school C64 intro created completely in CSS, the technology that is normally used to style web pages. You can read more about it here, and the source code is available in your browser, but also on Github. No need for an Action Replay cartridge to peek under the hood this time!
Thanks Commodore is Awesome for the link.
When people talk about how great Mr Robot is I agree but I suspect we're not talking about the same thing.
I honestly don't remember this at all. The C64 was just a prop, but it's still nice to see the breadbox there! It's a pity they used the arcade version of Paperboy and not the C64 conversion however.
I noticed a Commodore 64 screen last night in the game Saints Row 4. The keyboard is definitely not a C64 one, neither is it a C128 but I'll forgive that oversight.
There are various retro parts of the game, like a 2D side scrolling beat-em-up to rescue one of the characters but this was in a fairly mundane mission where you have to shoot lights, that's all I'll say. Watch out for it!
The Dinosaurs episode of This Developer's Life struck a chord with me. Not because of Fortran or Dataflex although hearing about developers dealing with small memory constraints or attempts to convert an archaic piece of code into something shiny did make me grin stupidly.
No, there's a bit about the Commodore 64 in there and some great SID chip music throughout the podcast. That sealed the deal for me! 🙂

Angered by Bush administration policies they contend endanger national security, 26 retired U.S. diplomats and military officers are urging Americans to vote President Bush out of office in November.
The group, which calls itself Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, does not explicitly endorse Democrat John Kerry for president in its campaign, which will start officially Wednesday at a Washington news conference.
Among the group are 20 ambassadors, appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents, other former State Department officials and military leaders whose careers span three decades.
Prominent members include retired Marine Gen. Joseph P. Hoar, commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East during the administration of Bush's father; retired Adm. William J. Crowe Jr., ambassador to Britain under President Clinton and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Reagan; and Jack F. Matlock Jr., a member of the National Security Council under Reagan and ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987 to 1991.
The White House referred calls for comment to the Bush-Cheney campaign. Campaign spokesmen were not immediately available.
"We agreed that we had just lost confidence in the ability of the Bush administration to advocate for American interests or to provide the kind of leadership that we think is essential," said William C. Harrop, the first President Bush's ambassador to Israel, and earlier to four African countries.
"The group does not endorse Kerry, although it more or less goes without saying in the statement," said Harrop.
Harrop said he listed himself as an independent for years for career purposes but usually has voted Republican.
The former ambassador said diplomats and military officials normally avoid making political statements, especially in an election year.
"Some of us are not that comfortable with it, but we just feel very strongly that the country needs new leadership," Harrop said.
He said the group was disillusioned by Bush's handling of the war in Iraq and a list of other subjects, including the Middle East, environmental conservation, AIDS policy, ethnic and religious conflict and weapons proliferation.

Roy Orbison's widow, Barbara, has announced that her late husband is under consideration to be immortalized on a U.S. postage stamp next year.
For the last two years, Barbara has led an effort to make the stamp a reality. Nearly 20,000 signatures have been collected on a petition for the stamp at royorbison.com—including the names of high-profile friends like U2 lead singer Bono, Dan Aykroyd and George Harrison's widow, Olivia. "If Roy is selected, the postal service will make the announcement later this year, probably in October," Barbara told Nashville newspaper The Tennessean.

Re: Wait time for new lender after 9th payment of rehab
Well, I'm not entirely out of the woods. I got picked up fast, but there are multiple stories of people who wait, often for some time, for the changes to reflect on their credit reports. Or the new tradelines get reported but the old ones aren't always removed. Or they remove part of the negative info but not all. Lots of pitfalls.
My servicer reports to the CRA's on the 22nd, so will keep you posted on what happens.

Would you bang Mrs. Obama if you could?
oh wait it's called a chloraforum now
my favourite a forum troll
fantastic posts
no u
if you can't tell when you're being rude, i probably won't bother you much more. however almost every post i see of yours in rmt is pretty dumb, and considering mods like delko have even had to edit them to make them nicer, i think it goes without saying that you are being rude to many people.
hi, i'm dropping by to say that you should be less rude across the forums. many people will take your abruptness different ways, so if you're receiving infractions and whatnot you shouldn't be surprised because sometimes i find some of your comments to be downright dumb, for lack of a better word. sorry if this offends you, but i would recommend thinking a bit more before clicking "post message". thank you for your time.
If you have such a problem with everyone then why are you still on Smogon? Just get off or simply stop posting. It'll eliminate the whole problem and you won't have to worry about it.
are you a REAL pokemonmaster???
no, i am
are you an idiot
You're not helping. You're just trying to make everything difficult. They know what they're talking about when they say things like that. Both of us need to improve and they're just trying to help us. How you choose to respond to that advice is what makes them mad. Try to be a little less closed minded. Don't assume that what they say can't be put to good use.
i like pop music, music that I can just sing along to, and I like singing 1D with her. Also, I let my gf pick my avatar and signature
You're no better for letting me see this.
lol no, I have a girlfriend and she introduced me to One Direction
I'm well aware of this. Everyone on Smogon hates me anyway. That's why I don't go on there.
Oh, and damn, you have one cluttered bookmark bar.
lol, thanks for the heads up. Glad to know people think I'm improving as a poster.
You know, if you correct your ways I bet a lot of people will forget about it. Nobody understands those 100 year old inside jokes, don't worry you're probably not missing much
I'm not exactly sure how to reply... We've been hostile for days and suddenly you're being nice to me? Well, if you want us to be better people, we could forget about what's happened. That's fine with me.
And lol yeah, I'm only 14. I'm not very scared of High School, even though all my classes are honors. I'm just kind of wary of my age though; I don't give it away often, I don't want people thinking I'm a noob because they're 10+ years older than me xD

Poem Title:
One in thy thousand statues we salute thee On all thy thousand thrones acclaim and claim Who walk in forest of thy forms and faces Walk in a forest calling on one name And, most of all, how this thing may be so Who know thee not are mystified to know That one cries "Here she stands" and one cries "Yonder" And thou wert home in heaven long ago. Burn deep in Bethlehem in the golden shadows, Ride above Rome upon the horns of stone, From low Lancastrian or South Saxon shelters Watch through dark years the dower that was shine own: Ghost of our land, White Lady of Walsinghame, Shall they not live that call upon thy name If an old song on a wild wind be blowing Crying of the holy country whence they came? Root deep in Chartres the roses blown of glass Burning above thee in the high vitrailles, On Cornish crags take for salute of swords O'er peacock seas the far salute of sails, Glooming in bronze or gay in painted wood, A great doll given when the child is good, Save that She gave the Child who gave the doll, In whom all dolls are dreams of motherhood. I have found thee like a little shepherdess Gay with green ribbons; and passed on to find Michael called Angel hew the Mother of God Like one who fills a mountain with a mind: Molten in silver or gold or garbed in blue, Or garbed in red where the inner robe burns through, Of the King's daughter glorious within: Change shine unchanging light with every hue. Clothed with the sun or standing on the moon Crowned with the stars or single, a morning star, Sunlight and moonlight are thy luminous shadows, Starlight and twilight thy refractions are, Lights and half-lights and all lights turn about thee, But though we dazed can neither see nor doubt thee, Something remains. Nor can man live without it Nor can man find it bearable without thee. There runs a dark thread through the tapestries That time has woven with all the tints of time Something not evil but grotesque and groping, Something not clear; not final; not sublime; Quaint as dim pattern of primal plant or tree Or fish, the legless elfins of the sea, Yet rare as this shine image in ebony Being most strange in its simplicity. Rare as the rushing of the wild black swans The Romans saw; or rocks remote and grim Where through black clouds the black sheep runs accursed And through black clouds the Shepherd follows him. By the black oak of the aeon-buried grove By the black gems of the miner's treasure-trove Monsters and freaks and fallen stars and sunken- Most holy dark, cover our uncouth love. From shine high rock look down on Africa The living darkness of devouring green The loathsome smell of life unquenchable, Look on low brows and blinking eyes between, On the dark heart where white folk find no place, On the dark bodies of an antic race, On all that fear thy light and love thy shadow, Turn thou the mercy of thy midnight face. This also is in thy spectrum; this dark ray; Beyond the deepening purples of thy Lent Darker than violet vestment; dark and secret Clot of old night yet cloud of heaven sent: As the black moon of some divine eclipse, As the black sun of the Apocalypse, As the black flower that blessed Odysseus back From witchcraft; and he saw again the ships. In all thy thousand images we salute thee, Claim and acclaim on all thy thousand thrones Hewn out of multi-colored rocks and risen Stained with the stored-up sunsets in all tones- If in all tones and shades this shade I feel, Come from the black cathedrals of Castille Climbing these flat black stones of Catalonia, To thy most merciful face of night I kneel.

CORSICANA (March 10, 2014) A 3-year-old Navarro County boy was shot to death Monday and authorities say an 8-year-old may have fired the deadly blast from a 20-gauge shotgun.
The shooting happened just before noon Monday outside of a house in Eureka, about 12 miles southeast of Corsicana, Navarro County Sheriff Elmer Tanner said.
The toddler, who wasn't immediately identified, was shot at close range in the head, Tanner said.
Authorities aren't sure who fired the shot, but say it may have been the 8-year-old child.
Deputies think the shooting was accidental, but the investigation is still open, he said.

Let's Move Outside
Making History: First-Ever White House Campout
On Tuesday, the First Lady hosted the first-ever White House Campout on the South Lawn, one of America's most iconic National Parks. Fifty Girl Scouts were invited to participate in the campout, co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Interior, that celebrated the centennial of the National Park Service and promoted getting kids and families moving while taking advantage of America's great outdoors as part of Let's Move! Outside.

Let's Move! This Summer
Summer is here and Let's Move! has some fun ideas for you to enjoy the sun and stay healthy for the next few months.

Wheel Around – Grab your helmet and get ready to move! Whether you're lacing up your rollerblades, jumping on your bike, or breaking out your scooter, spending your summer wheeling around is a great source of exercise.
Make a Splash — Spending time in the water is not only a great way to cool off on a hot summer day – it's also the perfect way for you to stay active. Grab your bathing suit and swim some laps in the pool, paddle down the river, or surf the ocean!
June is Great Outdoors Month!
Now that summer is almost here, it is the perfect time to get outside and celebrate our country's magnificent landscapes, waterways and historical sites. In cities and towns across the country, public lands and waters provide unparalleled opportunities for affordable, family-friendly recreation.

Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You: The 2013 White House Easter Egg Roll
Ed. Note: This is a cross post from WhiteHouse.gov. You can find the original post here.
The First Family today welcomed more than 30,000 guests to the South Lawn for the 135th annual White House Easter Egg Roll. This year's theme, "Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You" was inspired by Let's Move!, and the day's fun included numerous opportunities for the young guests to get moving, from the traditional Egg Roll to the Eggtivity Zone, an obstacle course where players and coaches from professional sports teams taught kids how to play sports and showed them easy, fun ways to stay active and fit.

We're excited to announce that our next White House Social will be a Let's Move! Social here, at the White House.

About our products...
Viscog Productions, Inc. creates DVD presentation tools designed for use by speakers, teachers, and trainers. Each DVD includes many short videos and demonstrations that allow presenters to induce failures of awareness in their audiences and to illustrate how easily people can miss the obvious. All of the videos on our DVDs come directly from the research of leading scientists who study attention and perception. Because we provide the actual demonstrations used by the scientists in their peer-reviewed research, the videos do not have Hollywood production values. Critically, though, they have documented effectiveness. Each DVD includes tips and instructions for presenters, giving guidelines for presenting and explaining each type of demonstration. We have produced three DVDs, each of which is available as a physical DVD and as a digitally downloadable DVD (playable using the FluxPlayer application). You can learn more about each DVD and format below. Note that none of our DVDs or their contents may be distributed or broadcast in any way. They are designed for in-person presentations.
Surprising Studies of Visual Awareness, Vol 1
Released in 2003, Surprising Studies Volume 1 includes 20 striking video demonstrations, each of which can be used to induce a failure of awareness in your audience. This volume includes the original gorilla/basketball video produced by Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris in 1999 (commonly known as the "Invisible Gorilla" video or as "The Selective Attention Test"). Note that this DVD does not include Prof. Simons's 2010 "Monkey Business Illusion" video.
View Contents | Buy DVD | Download DVD
Surprising Studies of Visual Awareness, Vol 2
Released in 2008, Surprising Studies Volume 2 features 15 new videos, each of which can be used to induce a failure of awareness in your audience or to reveal how easily we can miss important events around us. This volume includes the famous "door" video, produced in 1998 by Daniel Simons and Daniel Levin, that shows how people can miss a change to a conversation partner in the middle of an interaction. It includes many powerful visual illusions that reveal ways in which what we see differs from reality.
View Contents | Buy DVD | Download DVD
Surprising Studies of Visual Awareness, Vol 1+2
Released in 2008, Surprising Studies Volume 1+2 combines all 20 demonstrations from Surprising Studies Volume 1 with the 15 demonstrations on Surprising Studies Volume 2 onto a single DVD with all 35 demonstrations. Many of our customers find the combined DVD to be more convenient than the individual DVDs because they can access any of the demonstrations from either collection without needing to switch DVDs during their presentation .

Many people are moving back into this area and trying to reclaim it's former glory of being a wonderful area to live. I would consider this a personal call for you. Visit the area during different times of the day and see how you feel when you are in the neigborhood. Everyone has a different sense of self security see if it meets your comfort zone and then make your decision.
For stats. you can check the criminal reports for the area and even visit the family watchdog site to check for sexual predators. These websites are very helpful, but are what they are... cold hard stats. You would be surprised at what results you find in even some of the best neigborhoods.
I hope this was helpful and if you need anything else feel free to contact me.
Are you currently working with an agent? I would be happy to refer a great agent for that area.
I moved to Inman Park in 1998 and served as a volunteer in various roles with Public Safety in the area since then. I've grown to know the neighborhoods, our APD Zone 6 officers, and many of the challenges that Atlanta's law enforcement professionals face.
Right when I moved to Atlanta's suburbs in the late '80's, news came out about a young girl walking home from Little Five Points who was raped and killed in Candler Park. She was walking by herself across the golf course - a short cut home. After Midnight. She was in the US Army Reserve - early 20's. Prime of life. That was my first impression of Intown Atlanta crime as a Georgia resident, and you know what - that same crime can occur tonight if a young girl wants to go walking be herself late at night. Security starts with you and your confidence.
Am I confident that Candler Park is one of the safest neighborhoods in Intown Atlanta? Yes. 100% confident.
Plenty of other single women in single family homes all over the area. A really nice girl with a McLendon listing has been there 12 years and she will be glad to give you her impressions if you ask. You just need to get in the neighborhood and start talking to neighbors.
Our city is rife with lots of non-violent crime. Violent crime is up. Police headcount is not where it needs to be. We are losing good officers to other cities, and yet I still live in the absolute safest part of Atlanta - Zone 6.
On good streets, crime doesn't happen as much as it does on bad streets - with good neighbors looking out for each other, and private security patrols, and perimeter lighting, and a dog, and an imposing don't mess with my stuff curb appeal, not much crime is going on. On good streets. Sometimes never at all, on good streets. Candler Park is loaded with good streets, good neighbors and good police officers doing the best that they can with a 911 driven, reactive system.
Go to some Candler Park neighborhood asociation meetings. I can connect you with long term neighbors who will tell you the good, the bad and the only sometimes ugly. Let me know if you have more questions.

Scarf Help
I have just learnt to knit and now I am addicted.
I have just finished my first scarf using garter stitch. I have now bought some beautiful cashmerino chunky wool (red) and I would like to try another simple but interesting scarf. I can purl and knit but that's about it.
Please can anybody suggest a few simple but interesting ways I could use this yarn to make a wonderful scarf.
Thank you.
One thing I love to do with purl and knit is.
Row 1: (K1, P1)
Row 2: (p1, K1)
Row 3: (K1, P1)
Row 4: (p1, K1)
Row 5: (K1, P1)
Row 6: (p1, K1)
Row 7: (K1, P1) for 6 sts, K24, (k1, p1.)
Row 8: (p1, K1) for 6 sts, P24, (P1, K1)
Row 9: (K1, P1) for 6 sts, K24, (k1, p1.)
Row 10: (p1, K1) for 6 sts, P24, (P1, K1)
Row 11: (K1, P1) for 6 sts, K24, (k1, p1.)
Row 12: (p1, K1) for 6 sts, P24, (P1, K1)

This is one of my favorite easy scarves. I've made a couple of them now.
There is a link right on the directions for knitting into the back loop, too. :thumbsup:
Here's what it ends up looking like. For some reason I never took a picture of it finished. :??
That is lovely Jan I will have to look into doing one like that.

As the number of people at a partyincreases, you must raise your voice for a listener to hear youagainst the background noise of the other partygoers.However, once you reach the level of yelling, the only way you canbe heard is if you move closer to your listener, into thelistener's "personal space." Model the situation byreplacing you with an isotropic point source of fixed powerP and replacing your listener with a point that absorbspart of your sound waves. These points are initially separated byri = 1.41 m. If the background noise increasesby Δβ = 5.19 dB, the sound level at yourlistener must also increase. What separation rfis then required?

motorcycle-tractor trailer rig crash on Interstate 40 in eastern Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 40-year-old Lorrianne Barisic of Goodyear, Ariz., died in the accident just before 3 a.m. Wednesday.
