What is amclient.exe?
Amclient.exe is a executable file (a program) within Windows. The filename extension .exe denotes an executable file. You should only run executable files from publishers you trust, because executable files can potentially change your computer settings or harm your computer. The free file information forum can help you determine if amclient.exe is a virus, trojan, spyware, or adware that you can remove, or a file belonging to a Windows system or to an application you can trust.
Amclient.exe file information
The process known as Application Management Client belongs to software LANDesk Software or Desktop Manager or LANDesk Management Suite by LANDesk Software (www.landesk.com).
Description: Amclient.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. The file amclient.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 7/XP are 327,680 bytes (50% of all occurrences), 311,296 bytes or 307,459 bytes.
The program has a visible window. The software starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders). The file is not a Windows system file. Amclient.exe is able to record inputs and hide itself. Therefore the technical security rating is 24% dangerous.
Recommended: Identify amclient.exe related errors
If amclient.exe is located in a subfolder of C:\, the security rating is 22% dangerous. The file size is 135,233 bytes. The program has a visible window.

Important: Some malware camouflages itself as amclient.exe, particularly when located in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.

Gear Question
Are the Pathfinder watches as sturdy and...
Frank Uroda
Member since
Are the Pathfinder watches as sturdy and reslient as the G shock watches?
Christopher Minguez
Member since
Pathfinders are not subjected to the impact testing that G-shocks are, so no, technically, they're not as durable. They are very longlasting, however, I have a twin sensor, (the predecessor to pathfinders) that's 11 years old and still running. If you require the toughness and shock resistance, the G-Shock Riseman GW-9200 has the thermometer, altimeter, and barometer functions.

I have had my Pathfinder for almost a year now and it has been very durable. Have knocked it around a bit and zero issues.

Rs. 20,000-cr. project to link every panchayat in the country
The Centre has asked the States to forego the levy on right of way for laying optic fibre under the national programme to roll out broadband connectivity to 2.50 lakh villages in the country, Union Minister of State for Communications and IT Sachin Pilot said on Monday.
Launching the new consolidated R&D facility at Alcatel-Lucent India, Mr. Pilot said the Rs. 20,000-crore project proposed to interlink every panchayat in the country through the optic fibre network in two years.
"This is largest ever IT infrastructure project of its kind in independent India. We have written to State governments, stating their only participation is to give free right of way…so that the cost becomes somewhat mitigated and we are able to reach panchayats without having to pay the Government," he said. Noting that there was a new National Telecom Policy in place, Mr. Pilot said the Government was also giving shape to a National IT Policy and a National Electronic Hardware Policy.
IT growth
Mr. Pilot said India's IT growth would be slower this fiscal (2012-13), pegging it at around 17 per cent.
"We project IT growth to be around 17 per cent, which is not bad. Earlier, the industry was growing 30 per cent a year for about 10 years. But it has slowed down a bit," he said.
Observing that two-thirds of India's IT exports went to the US, Mr. Pilot said IT companies had to focus on new geographies for exporting software services to achieve the target of reaching $ 300 billion by 2020. At present, over 60 per cent of the $ 100 billion business in software exports went to the US.
"We must look at other countries and continents like Africa, Asia, East Europe and China. We must diversify (exports) where we send our IT services," he said.
One of the key features of the electronic hardware policy would be the stipulation that manufacturers should source a portion of their raw material from within the country, he said.
According to Mr. Pilot, voice and SMS would be replaced by data services, information and entertainment applications in the second phase of the telecom revolution in India, which had more than 93 crore mobile phone users.

Bargains at the BMF (Peterborough)????
Just wanted to know whether or not I was the only person to get a TRULY SUPERB bargain at this years BMF held at the East Of England Showground in Peterborough 2 weeks ago.
I managed to find this fantastic deal -
A top of the range SHOEI X-SPIRIT (Lawson) in Eddie Lawson colours size Large for £100 cash!
Normal Cost here - Motorbike Spares - Shoei X-Spirit Lawson TC-1
A saving of £300!
I admit the helmet is in last years colours but heck, who gives a damn when you get such a good deal (not that I'm the kind of person to ever take notice of such trivial matters).
I also managed to find a 2006 Hein Gericke Taureg suit for £80 (normally £500 in the shop). Both the jacket and trousers were returns. Both were in perfect overall condition. Upon close inspection the jacket had a small broken zip and the trousers were perfect. Each were £40. The zip cost me £8 to repair.
All in all I thought I did quite well. What do you think? Did YOU manage to find any bargains yourself? I'd be interested to learn what others found...
I heard from a steward there that the BMF is under threat because of trading law changes in the EU. Apparently this year is the very last time really great deals like this can be found. Next year prices will increase.
Oh yes, why does it always rain when I go to a bike event? It pissed down on the Saturday all day long turning the showground into a muddy puddle... Glad I took my Derriboots, I ended up wearing the newly purchased Taureg Jacket...
Yes we picked up some bargains as well. Must have been on a different Saturday to you though as apart from a couple of showers I didn't think it was too bad and towards the end of the day it even brightened up.
I hear there will be some cheap trail bikes and gear next year as soon we'll have nowhere to ride them! :-)

It's no secret that I like silly slice of life anime. Generally the less plot on display, the happier I am. So, when I fired up Shinryaku! Ika-musume, I knew there was a significant chance that I'd at least like the show. But this little anime's potent mix of outlandish situations and well-placed narrative fake-outs surprised even me.
Shinryaku! Ika-musume starts with an absurd premise: a squid-girl rises from the ocean intent on enslaving humanity armed only with an imperious attitude and ten powerful tentacles. However, thanks to her relative naivete and short attention span, she finds herself railroaded into helping at a quaint beach-side restaurant. Once divorced from the potiential plotline of subjugation and rule, the show pleasantly morphs into a slice-of-life venture that uses Ika's eagerness to learn about the human world and her air of superiority to manufacture laughs through three micro-stories every episode.
But Shinryaku! Ika-Musume burns brightest when its writers flex entirely unexpected plot muscles. While keeping its absurd tone, the show on occasion reaches out, dead-serious to pluck your heartstrings with alarming acuteness. "Wouldn't having a pet be squidtastic?", for example, tells a story of love and loss that seems incredibly poignant until its final twist delivers a load of narrative whiplash that will nearly put you in a neck brace. Similarly, watching Ika-musume bond with her first umbrella during "Squidn't you bring an umbrella", seems like silly, harmless fun until an accident sends things horribly awry and you find yourself feeling for the poor, bereft squid-girl. The juxtaposition of genuine emotion with outright strange situations and slapstick comedy must be some dark alchemy designed to deliver laughs from unexpected places.
Shinryaku! Ika-musume borrows heavily from the artistic sensibilities of both School Rumble and Lucky Star. The clean, attractive character designs exude moe, deform pleasantly for comedic effect, and can spring into motion when the show requires it. By keeping the everyone's face uncomplicated at the start, the animators are free to paint any and all emotion onto each actor as dictated by the script, and this flexibility helps maintain the show's healthy relationship with the absurd and transforms well into more embellished forms when the script calls for an overwrought still.
For those of you who love characters with adorable vocal tics, Ika-musume offers a treasure-trove of material to make you shiver with delight. Juri Aikawa's shouts and yelps have a bizarre magnetism that makes Ika's voice more adorable as she gets increasingly confused, desperate or excited. The seiyuu's control of tempo means that the lead character remains fully in charge of every scene playing off both the equally zany Sanae (an overly-affectionate Kanae Itou) or Cindy (Hitomi Nabatame) and the numerous straight men like Eiko, Chizuru, or Goro.
It would be hard to come up with a more entertaining bunch of one-dimensional clowns. Since each short story focuses entirely on the quriky Ika-musume, everyone else serves as either sounding board or prop. Eiko and Takeru, for example, function primarily as straight men, introducing Ika to new experiences and allowing the naive protagonist to allow her preconceptions to run wild. Their benign responses of annoyance and useful enthusiasm form some of the best humor of the series as they allow Ika set up her own punchlines and lampoon herself (the places she goes whenever Takeru strokes her ego almost always result in a good laugh). In contrast, delusional characters like Sanae and Cindy offer the lead a chance to be the voice of reason, victimized as she is by the otaku leanings of the schoolgirl and the unwholesome experimental urges of the CIA agent. The combination of these two types of interaction give the show a playful ebb and flow that keeps its running gags from wearing out their welcome.
But in the end, Ika with her extremely short attention span and unflappable ego, serves as the series' whimsical maypole. Unable to stay focused on her primary task of "squid-vasion", she throws herself heartily into whatever activity presents itself with delightful results. Whether we watch her stare down an ace baseball pitcher while helping Kiyomi's team win a pickup game, or giggle as she gives her first umbrella a series of increasingly epic names her gusto for life forms the backbone of the humor. She rests firmly in in the tradition of characters like Tenmna Tsukamato and Yui Hirasawa who react in a predictable manner to every situation but with a twist. This stark contrast between her hyper-able tentacles and her otherwise klutzy ways allows her to react both conciously and unconsciously to situations which in most cases delivers two punchlines at once--an interesting twist to the otherwise predictable 4-koma pacing.
Shinryaku! Ika-Musume shoots for cute and quirky, nailing the target dead-center. By mixing its able production values with a chuckle-worthy cast and clever storytelling, this anime should worm its way into the heart of anyone with a dark sense of humor and a love for absurd slice of life.
Squids. They're actually very delicious, as I personally discovered recently. But after seeing Shinryaku! Ika Musume, I'll be thinking twice before sinking my teeth into that squishy goodness again. Why? Because I believe, with this series, one of the most lovable characters since Konata Izumi has emerged from the depths of the ocean, and I received it very well.
Story - 8/10
Okay, so get this! A girl that is actually a squid (or a squid that's actually a girl?) appears from the depths of the seas, bearing a grudge against humanity for polluting the ocean (don't worry, this is not some kind of environmentalist morale kinda thing about how we should recycle). Let's stop here already. She's a squid that looks, talks and walks like a human girl. My brain is already liquified! And if you're expecting some kind of explanation for this, guess again (at least, not yet). Okay, so leaving that aside; her goal? World Domination! OF COURSE!
Unfortunately for our little squid girl, Ika Musume, she slightly underestimated her mission, thinking that there were only about 1000 humans instead of 6.5 billion. That, and she's just not cut out for this kinda thing, at all! Ika Musume stumbles upon a beach house and self-claims it as her foothold for her world domination. But the manager, Eiko Aizawa, thinks differently. After going Rambo on a mosquito, Ika smashes a hole through the wall of the beach house, and has to work there as a waitress to pay for the damages. It seems Ika Musume's plan for global domination has been thwarted for now, but that doesn't stop her from plotting. However, no matter what she tries, she just can't seem to succeed. But then again, what did you expect?
That's basically the story. Shinryaku! Ika Musume is a lighthearted comedy with some obvious supernatural elements thrown in. Every episode is divided into three seperate sketches that have little or nothing to do with one another plotwise. So what you get is 36 short, delightfully humorous scenarios. This is a good thing, because if one of the sketches should bore you, it won't be long before a completely different one comes up. However, in my case, I watched through the entire season without ever getting bored, and that is not a tiny feat.
What makes this anime fun to watch is the way Ika Musume resonates with everything this strange, human world has to offer. Being totally astounded by an umbrella and thinking it's some kind of weapon is just one example. I feel that I can best compare this concept with Yotsuba&!, but with a squid girl instead of a young child.
Animation - 9.5/10
Bright and vivid colors, excellent character design and art, smooth animation and facial expressions that speak for themselves. What more could you want from a good comedy anime? Nothing, absolutely nothing!
Sound - 8/10
BGM does what it has to do. It's nowhere near as memorable as, say, Azumanga Daioh, and it usually just plays in the background, escaping your attention. Voice acting, however, is excellent. After all, it's the right voice that makes the character truly shine, and Hisako Kanemoto delivered just that when voicing Ika Musume (I swear, de geso~ is the new desu). Same thing for the rest of the cast.
As a non-Japanese person, perhaps it's a little hard for me to judge wether the voice acting is good or not, but I do know when a seiyuu is overacting or underacting. In this case, everything fits just fine to me.
And then there's the opening. Wow. No doubt about it, this is the Ika Musume anthem de geso~!
Characters - 10/10
A perfect score for characters? Damn right. A good comedy needs great characters for its foundation, otherwise it just doesn't work. Shinryaki! Ika Musume passes with flying colors and left me laughing like a hyena on marihuana as a result. Of course, the star of the show is Ika-chan. Her hair consists of flexible, extendable tentacles that can regenerate, she can vomit squid ink which is apparently delicious, and she has the ability to glow. She's bossy, arrogant, naive, is deathly afraid of sharks and killer whales and has a severe God-complex. However, she's actually pretty harmless, and definitely not the most dangerous of the cast. That would be Chizuru Aizawa, a blue haired girl with Yangire issues. She normally has her eyes closed and seems like a sweet girl, but when her eyes go open, BE AFRAID! Even Chuck Norris would p*ss himself. The only person that Ika truly fears.
On the other side of the spectrum, we have Nagisa Saito, a paranoid surfer girl who is certain that Ika is up to something evil and has brainwashed the rest of the Lemon beach house employees. She is the only one who is really scared of her, just what Ika wants. Thus, she's Ika's favorite, and she sees Nagisa as an angel. Eiko Aizawa, the manager of the beach house, has very small tolerance for Ika's shenanigans, thus usually ends up hitting her in the head. Sanae Nagatsuki is a masochistic and obsessive girl who is infatuated with Ika's cuteness, so much that it's creepy. Getting beaten up by her squid girl brings her bliss. She's messed up, but it's funny.
There's more characters, but the cast isn't rediculously big, and most of them are memorable and bring something unique. It's this collection of radical characters that makes this show a riot to watch.
Overall - 9/10
I cannot recommend Shinryaku! Ika Musume enough if you're looking for a good comedy. No, hang on. If you're looking for an anime in general, you have to check this one out! If there were 500 episodes, I would watch them all just like that, that's how much I love it. Sadly, there's only 12, but it's short and sweet. One of those anime that I will probably rewatch several times in the future. Might just be the best title of 2010 de geso~!
Story: A squid girl attempts to invade the world but ends up working at a beach store. That should already tell you that there really isn't any deep plot. The episodes consist of about two to three segments of the various antics surrounding squid girl. There is little deapth but I wasn't expecting anything too profound. The segments never feel too long and are full of cuteness and sillyness. It's just a bundle of fun. There is some attempt of seriousness at the end but it becomes resolved quickly with a cute message about being yourself. It kept me laughing from the first episode to the last. If you're looking for moe or cuteness or both, then this is perfect.
Animation: Bright bold colors and backgrounds. Squid girl is the about the cutest thing I have seen in a while. The minor characters are distinguishable but have a cookie cutter look to them. The MIT doctors look interesting though. The facial expressions are hilarious and convey whatever emotion they're displaying. The opening and ending is cute and they do pay attention to details.
Sound: Cute and catchy openings and endings. However, the real contender are the seiyuus. The voices are fitting and just add so much. The voices never get annoying which is refreshing. They do the emotions and little quirks perfectly.
Characters: Squid girl is obviously the star of this show. She's hilarious and adorable. Her inability to invade but her ability to do random things amazingily never gets tired. Her innoncence and naivity is still amusing from the first episode to the last. She is the very definition of the this show and she is squiding amazing. She's definitely hard to forget. The other characters don't shine as much but they again it would be hard with such a bright personality. Chizure still shines with her dual personality. The MIT doctors are definitely a surprise as well.
Overall: Resistance to the squid invasion is futile. Just don't expect any actual plot. Just humor and moeness which squid girl delivers plenty of each.
The problem with the anime industry is the continuous failure to capitalise on titles that are actually good, and instead redirect time and resources to producing shows that leave you as empty as a tectonic bowel movement. Every genre has suffered this iniquity, but while most bounce back with other, much better offerings (comparatively speaking), comedy continues to prove the medium's "Achilles heel". Those of you who are fans of Gintama may disagree with that perception, but consider for a moment the number of anime released during the last year that have borne the "comedy" label.
Now have a think about whether they made you laugh, or simply made you smile (or in the worst case scenario, made you want to punch the people who made it in alphabetical order).
Based on the manga by Anbe Masahiro, Shinryaku! Ika Musume (Invasion! Squid Girl), tells the story of Ika Musume, who has come from the sea to exact revenge on humanity for polluting the waters of Earth, and she plans to do this by conquering the world.
Unfortunately her first foray onto land doesn't go as planned ...
The series is presented in the style of a sketch show rather than as a continuous narrative, with each episode split into three independent stories. Normally this approach would present several problems where plot and character development are concerned, but thankfully that isn't the case here as each tale is well crafted and paced, with little time wasted on pointless trivialities (which is ironic as there are people who would consider the whole show to be trivial). In addition to this, there is an autonomy to each chapter that allows for a variety of themes over the course of one episode, and this makes for some decent storytelling and visual gags.
As an aside, one thing that should be pointed out is the rather obvious homage to the first ten minutes or so of Up! that occurs in episode five. The nice thing about this particular chapter is that there has been a conscious effort to follow Pixar's example and simply use music, sound effects and imagery to tell the story, and the result is something ... rare, especially in terms of audio/visual choreography.
Which brings up an interesting point.
On the surface Shinryaku! Ika Musume looks a lot like the common or garden moe based "comedies" that abound these days, but as everyone knows, one should never judge a book by it's cover. The design principle verges on the generic at times, and this rather simplistic approach to the characters is reflected in the backgrounds and settings as well. The animation is generally decent, with nice movements and some interesting ways to use tentacles (I never thought I would ever use that sentence in an anime review), but the initial perception may be that Diomedea simply didn't try hard enough to make the series look great.
There is something that should be taken in to account though, and that's the fact that Ika Musume wasn't only made to make you smile. The main purpose of the series is to make you laugh, and that it does. The "generic" look of the show allows for a number of well executed visual gags and parodies, as well as some creative moments like the Mini Ika Musume chapter. In addition to that, the style of humour actually works better when the viewer is comfortable with the imagery, which may be the reason why Diomedea opted for a look that many people will already be familiar with.
After all, it's reasonable to assume that the majority of viewers would find the slapstick comedy aspect out of place in a series series featured stunning scenery and beautiful characters, no matter how funny the show was.
One thing that is slightly annoying about Ika Musume is the devilishly catchy opening theme (Let's Invade by ULTRA PRISM featuring Kanemoto Hisako), which may have been designed to loiter in the viewers head, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. That doesn't mean it's a great song though, as it's a very typical example of the "cute" J-Pop anime introduction - with everything that entails.
On the other hand the ending theme, Metamerism by Ito Kanae, is a melodic ballad that's rather pleasant on the ears (even if it is a tad generic), but seems a little out of place in a comedy show. As for the incidental pieces, they range from slightly ditzy jazz styled jingles to the slow piano piece of the Mini Ika Musume chapter. Unlike many other shows though, the music is only pushed to the fore when the occasion demands, and one will generally hear it as a very subtle accompaniment to the on screen action (it should be pointed out though, that a good portion of the series features no music whatsoever).
As with any comedy, delivery is everything, and it's here where the seiyuu really shine. While the voice acting may sometimes be a little on the bland side, the characters really come alive when there's something quirky or funny going on. Kanemoto Hisako's performance as the precocious invader from the sea is actually pretty good, especially as her only other main roles are in Sora no Woto and Kore wa Zombie Desu ka. Her coordination with the other voice actors, especially Fujimura Ayumi and Tanaka Rie (the Aizawa sisters, Eiko and Chizuru), allows for some nice comedy set pieces.
Which brings up another point.
By its very nature, comedy isn't the greatest tool for characterisation or development, especially as the usual methods can seem out of place amongst all the slapstick. Ika Musume neatly sidesteps the issue by inserting a few choice tales that highlight a particular bond or personality trait, but it does this by creating a metaphor which can sometimes change the whole tone of the series. That said, any growth is sporadic, and there are occasions where viewers may find themselves wondering what the point of a particular chapter was.
There is a plus though, as the series creates comedy pairings between disparate, and sometimes unlikely, characters, which adds to the whimsical nature of the show. Eiko and Ika-Musume represent the primary straight and funny "men", but in truth there are multiple parings, trios and groups that form over the course of the series, all of which is only achievable because the characterisation is actually pretty decent for a comedy anime.
Now I will be honest here, as I didn't expect to like this series as much as I did. That's not to say it's a classic, as there are definitely better purebred comedies out there, but when compared to many of the more recent offerings in that genre, the charm, quirkiness and feelgood atmosphere of Shinryaku! Ika Musume is definitely a step in the right direction. The series bears a few similarities in terms of style, content and layout to such comedy worthies as Potemayo and Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu (but without as much insanity), whilst Mini Ika-Musume didn't simply remind me of Pixar's Up!, but also of Binchou-tan.
There is something to bear in mind if you decide to give this show a try though. Comedy is probably the most subjective genre in any medium as it requires far more investment from the viewer in order for it to work, and one of the things that we in the West often forget is that the vast majority of anime are made for the Japanese markets. Because of that it becomes difficult for Westerners to relate to certain aspects of the humour, but that doesn't automatically mean a series is bad just because we don't understand it.
Besides, after some of the debacles that have been produced over the last few years by an industry that's trying a bit too hard, it's a welcome change to watch something a little bit silly.
Through a mixture of magic and squid-based technology comes an annoyingly catchy OP, straight to your brain. No need for words or thanks, or both; it's taking residence in your brain as you begin Shinryaku! Ika Musume. But don't worry, it's a taste for what's to come; slice-of-life comedy on the beach with an infectous cheer about it that produces smiles, wheather you want to smile or not. It's like the third ingredient is charm, right behind hijinks and sand. If you ain't laughing, you're smiling. Unless it's one of the "detour" moments. Regardless, it's feet are firmly planted in comedy and it delivers loads of it.
Before I forget, that synopsis is the story. It's not really important but it's there to set the pieces down on the board and let them do their thing. It's episodic in nature, so don't look too deep into it.
Essentially, everything revolves around the sun of charm; the animation is bright and vibrant, cheery and delightful. The music sets the mood for the scenes and once again, the OP. And the characters only go to further enhance it; They make it more fun than it already is. From the innocent and adorably arrogant (Self-righteous?) title character to her co-workers in The Lemon and everybody else who roams the beach. The best part is how they interact with each other and mainly with Ika Musume.
There's no way I could marathon this and not die from some kind of cuteness overdose or something of the like. But if taken daily in doses of one or two episodes per day, then I can handle it. And you know what? I wouldn't change it. It aims to be a charming and adorable slice-of-life comedy and it accomplishes just that.

Witnesses said that it appeared that the left engine sustained a loss of power just after rotation and liftoff. The airplane initially had a positive rate of climb, but then immediately yawed to the left as it cleared 30-foot-high power lines that were perpendicular across the flight path. The airport is at the east end of a lake in a mountain valley; the airplane departed to the west and was flying over the lake. The airplane was about 2 miles from the runway when witnesses observed dark smoke coming from the left engine, and the smoke increased significantly as the flight continued. The airplane banked hard left with the wings perpendicular to the ground, and then nosed in vertically. The landing gear remained down throughout the accident sequence. On site examination revealed that the top spark plugs for the left engine were black and sooty. A detailed examination revealed that the left turbocharger turbine wheel shaft fractured and separated. Extreme oxidation of the fracture surfaces prevented identification of the failure mode; however, the oxidation was the result of high temperature exposure indicating that the fracture occurred while the turbocharger was at elevated temperature during operation. The multiple planes exhibited by the fracture also were not consistent with a ductile torsional failure as would be expected from a sudden stoppage of either rotor. No evidence of a mechanical malfunction was noted to the right engine. The Cessna Owners Manual for the airplane notes that the most critical time for an engine failure is a 2-3 second period late in the takeoff while the airplane is accelerating from the minimum single-engine control speed of 87 KIAS to a safe single-engine speed of 106 KIAS. Although the airplane is controllable at the minimum control speed, the airplane's performance is so far below optimum that continued flight near the ground is improbable. Once 106 KIAS is achieved, altitude can more easily be maintained while the pilot retracts the landing gear and feathers the propeller. The best single-engine rate-of-climb is 108 KIAS with flaps up below 18,000 feet msl. Section VI of the manual provides operational data for single-engine climb capability. The data was only valid for the following conditions: gear and flaps retracted, inoperative propeller feathered, wing banked 5 degrees toward the operating engine, 39.5 inches of manifold pressure if below 18,000 feet, and mixture at recommended fuel flow.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

text: Washington Post: Family Relations Between Media, Obama Officials Does Not Affect Coverage Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 13 Jun 2013 post a comment Let's start by going through the Post's article to create a list of journalists married to or closely related to officials within the Obama administration. The size and scope of this is bad enough. But what is most troubling is how high up this incest occurs in the worlds of both the media and the Obama administration: ABC News President Ben Sherwood, who is the brother of Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, a top national-security adviser to President Obama. His counterpart at CBS, news division president David Rhodes, is the brother of Benjamin Rhodes, a key foreign-policy specialist. CNN's deputy Washington bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is married to Tom Nides, who until earlier this year was deputy secretary of state under Hillary Rodham Clinton. White House press secretary Jay Carney's wife is Claire Shipman, a veteran reporter for ABC. NPR's White House correspondent, Ari Shapiro, is married to a lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, who joined the White House counsel's office in April. The Post's Justice Department reporter, Sari Horwitz, is married to William B. Schultz, the general counsel of the Department of Human Services. [VP] Biden's current communications director, Shailagh Murray (a former Post congressional reporter), is married to Neil King, one of the Wall Street Journal's top political reporters. This list doesn't even include those dating and sleeping together. And if you've seen "House of Cards," you know it's Caligula up there. Naturally, the Post, and those in media interviewed for the article, all claim that none of this in any way affects their coverage of the Obama administration. And you know what -- I believe them. As someone who has been watching the media closely for twenty-years, I can tell you that even without all this incest, the media would still be guarding Obama's palace just as aggressively as it does now. Family relations have nothing to do with it. Our media would be just as corrupt, just as unwilling to dig into scandals, just as obsessed with The War On The WomanParts and gay marriage; just as dishonest, partisan, and lazy were no one in any way related to top officials within the Obama administration. These relations are not the cause of the media's corruption; they are a symptom of it. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Made up of staff members from A Turning Pointe PT and Medical Lake Pt, Team 'Keep it Movin' raised $1600 for a wonderful cause! They had a great time doing so with the rest of the Medical Lake community.
We'll be there next year again, too!
"The information of health is contained in this energy… making every illness curable." – Z. Domancic
We are all built from two components – biochemicals and energy. The energy of the bodies of humans and animals is known as bioenergy – the energy of life. This force surrounds every cell, providing a blueprint for the physical body and serving as a medium for the flow of information through the body. Bioenergy also extends outside of the physical body, creating low frequency electromagnetic fields around us (as well as other subtle energy fields).
Bioenergy therapy is a method based on transmission of energy from one organism to another in order to improve the individual's condition. Technically defined, bioenergy therapy involves the replenishment of human "bio-currents" and the elimination of energy blocks and disturbances. All things that happen to a physical body are reflected in its energy flow. Biocurrents that are manifested in the biofield surrounding the body are also known as the aura. This energetic aura emits vibrations that can be detected and also measured.
Using this intelligent energy, the Zdenko Domancic Method of Bioenergy Therapy combines simple techniques in specific proven protocols that benefit all health conditions and renew overall well being. It is gentle, non invasive, medicine free, sustainable and is the "greenest", safest way to promote health – using life itself.
This method addresses health not illness and has been proven to be one of the most structured, most direct and most effective healing modalities in use today.
Balancing and directing bioenergetic information, this powerful therapy uses seven techniques to directly boosts the immune system to help to dissolve tumors, make lesions of MS disappear, and relieve headaches. After the level one seminar, a Domancic Method student has the knowledge needed to practice the therapy and obtain consistent healing results.
The current teacher in the United States – Zoran Hochstatter has been entrusted by Zdenko Domancic to be the sole representative of his Method in the English-speaking world. Zoran teaches all the official Domancic Method seminars in the USA, UK and Canada and is committed to teaching the method in its purest form. He spends his time healing and teaching in the US and Europe.
Since 2007, official Domancic Method Bioenergy Training seminars have been held in the USA, UK and Canada. Seminars are comprised of people of all ages, backgrounds and ways of life. Doctors, nurses, vets along with practitioners of other methods of complementary healthcare such as Reiki, Quantum Touch, Chiropractors, Acupuncture, and Homeopathy learn side by side with truck drivers, computer scientists, stock brokers and devoted family members who were being introduced to a healing modality for the first time and all have similar positive results.
We are excited to announce that at the request of A Turning Pointe Physical Therapy, Spokane will have it's first Level One BioEnergy Training seminar in October 2013!!! If you are interested in attending, please contact us directly at 509-326-8878 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. We are filling up fast and only have a few spots left!!!
Also, if you are interested in learning more about this amazing therapy, please watch THINK ABOUT IT, a documentary about bioenergy healing featuring the creator of the method, Zdenko Domancic, along with cutting edge researchers such as Dean Radin and Marilyn Schlitz.
There are more great videos here highlighting the amazing results gained with Bioenergetic Healing using the Domancic Method.

And, as always….."Feel Better!!!"
When it comes to structural integration, gravity is our best friend. When properly aligned, our bodies hold our strength and form better, injuries are prevented and our circulatory, nervous and lymphatic systems are allowed to run their course properly.
Imagine a 2 pound cantaloupe on the end of a 2 foot stick. If we were to grab the base of the stick and hold the melon straight up, most of us would have little problem doing so. The direct downward pressure would be manageable enough for our hands, forearms and back to accommodate. Now, slowly lean the stick and melon away from you. Doing this changes the muscles that are being used to support it. Tension is removed from the back and biceps and placed squarely on the forearms and front body wall. The further the stick leans, the greater the pressure and eventually, even the strongest among us would be unable to keep the stick aloft.
Or, imagine a carefully stacked pile of rocks, where each stone is resting on its neighbor in the perfect manner in order to keep the pile upright. Could any of the stones be replaced with a different one and still keep its position? Would the removal of part of one stone, an injury perhaps, keep the stone strong enough to do its function? Sure, if one of the middle stones is injured we could create a patch (surgery) to repair the damage or shore up the weakness …… but the damage would still remain. The tower would still be weakened.
Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity.
Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.
Thankfully, we aren't sticks and stones. Though we're subject to the same laws of gravity, our bodies are blessed with the ability to heal and strengthen. Evolution has blessed us with the ability to retrain our soft tissue so that we may remedy the damage done by most injuries. Additionally, even after years of overcompensation, we can retrain our tissues to relieve us of the maladies we've inflicted on ourselves.
Remember that car accident 20 years ago? Your left knee was injured and you've been listing to the right since then and now your lower back pain is too much to tolerate. Those headaches? Are they caused by the vertebra that was tweaked and had been altering nerve impulses to and from the brain? Is proper organ function being interfered with because of your worsening scoliosis?
Structural integration and our related practices are not miracle cures. What they do is attempt to place your body back into a position where your native systems can work to their maximum effectiveness. We don't heal you. You heal yourself.
At A Turning Pointe Physical Therapy, we know that your body can be your best friend and most effective hearing resource. We want you to "Feel Better!"
This is the gospel of Rolfing: When the body gets working appropriately, the force of gravity can flow through. Then, spontaneously, the body heals itself.
Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.

To hurt is as human as to breathe.
There has been no person who has not experienced some type of injury or trauma in his/her lifetime. We are all connected in the rawness of life by the pains and joys it brings. Why, then, is it that we often feel disconnected from human compassion and nurturing when seeking medical care? I've experienced, and frequently clients relay to me, the feeling of being passed through the medical system without thought or care. It's as if the personhood has become irrelevant while the disease/condition is paramount as a separate entity.
I often think about why I decided to pursue physical therapy. 19 years ago, I was an injured dancer with little help from the medical community with rehabilitating my painful knees. It wasn't until I worked with a skilled physical therapist that I saw someone with the passion to provide education for better function while also giving support through the process of healing. This life changing event impressed on me a kindness that could exist in the medical community and the power that compassion and encouragement can have on a person dealing with an injury. Lately, though, it seems as if this passion-driven practitioner has gone missing, with the act of healing being replaced instead by "fixing."
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal was very poignant on this subject. http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/04/25/should-a-doctor-be-like-a-gardener/
In this article, Victoria Sweet illustrates a fantastic paradigm shift in viewing the human body while also touching on our ability to offer our humanness to our clients as a connection point for the facilitation of healing.
Sweet's thoughts on facilitating healing in patients are comparable to several of the types of therapy we provide here at A Turning Pointe Physical Therapy. Structural Integration, the brainchild of Ida Rolf, was born from the philosophy that "When the body gets working appropriately, the force of gravity can flow through. Then, spontaneously, the body heals itself." The underlying principles of Structural Integration are rooted in the notion that balancing the body in all directions, front to back, side-to-side, inside to outside, promoting an integration of all connective tissue within the body. Since the body works together as a whole, any misalignments interfere with this wholeness. Rolf believed that through integration, wholeness and balance could be restored, thereby reducing emotional as well as physical stress. This philosophy is what led me to begin practicing Structural Integration (Rolfing) and to open A Turning Pointe Physical Therapy in 2003.
Similar principles of self-correction are mirrored in Frank Lowen's Dynamic Manual Interface (DMI) work. DMI utilizes the body's self-corrective mechanisms to improve tissue mobility, biomechanics and system balance. While the basic concepts of DMI are simple, the training for the hands and the mind is extensive. Laurie Levine-Lowen, OTR and Gene Suzuki, PT are two very gifted providers who are passionate to provide DMI at A Turning Pointe Physical Therapy.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is another service provided at A Turning Pointe Physical Therapy. Damage to the lymphatic system can occur in many ways including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, trauma, and vascular insufficiency. Since the lymphatic system aids the immune system in removing and destroying waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, toxins, and cancer cells, damage to this system can cause excessive lymph fluid to accumulate in the tissue. By providing MLD and educating the client is self-massage at home, the lymphatic vessels are stimulated to push the backed up lymph fluid into small capillaries to allow for drainage, filtering, and excretion of this fluid. Nola Petrucelly, PT provides MLD at A Turning Pointe Physical Therapy.
It has long been my belief/philosophy that an integrative approach to care combined with compassion has proven to be the best combination to facilitate healing. A quick fix in medicine loses sight of how the body is made to heal itself. Additionally, when we realize that a body is estimated to have over six trillion reactions taking place at any given moment, even a small bit of support for the healing process can ignite a more permanent resolution. Just as Voltaire once stated "amuse the patient while nature cures the disease."
Nola Petrucelly
"Feel better"
After being in this building for so many years, you'd think we would know the bus routes we're on.
Well, we don't, but after a bit of research, we've found out that answer and have this handy Spokane Transit Authority map to help folks get to us at our South Hill office. The #2 and #44 buses go right near us and the bus stop is about 300 ft east of us in front of Sacred Heart Hospital.
At all times, we're just a phone call away to help with any information that you need to find us. Give us a call at 509.326.8878 and "Feel Better!"
A Turning Pointe PT has always been proud of our association with Frank Lowen and his associates. Many of our therapists have attended Dynamic Manual Interface training sessions that he has moderated and they always return wiser and with a greater sense of healing and a greater awareness of the capabilities of the human body.
In his newest book, The Roots and Philosophy of DMI, Frank highlights how DMI came about, the influences on him and his practice, and his vision for the application and evolution of DMI. "A beautiful blending of art and science, DMI uses the body's self-corrective mechanisms to restore balance, accelerate healing, decrease pain, and improve mental clarity."
A few words of praise for Frank and his book:
"Frank Lowen performs miracles with his hands on even the most difficult patients and the illnesses they present with. Effortlessly bridging the gap between science, anatomy, and healing, Lowen has the gift of communicating what he perceives with his hands, his outer and inner vision, and his unique intelligence. Lowen is one of the most gifted healers of our time. I am excited that finally this sensitive, beautiful, and important work is now in writing and accessible to all of us."
—Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, founder of the American Academy of Neural Therapy
"Frank Lowen has once again shown himself to be a master pearl diver. He dives into the ocean of information and consciousness, and subtly brings up the most exquisite pearls."
—Judy Osborne, PT, LMT, LAc

Another protest? Not quite. Just an idea to nudge you towards better health and a better life.
How does your chronic pain affect your daily life? Does it make you grumpy towards your family and friends? Do your co-workers know full well when you're having a flare-up? Does the idea of going out and playing in the beautiful fall colors fill you with dread?
The most powerful tool in any person's care plan is the desire within you to rid yourself of ailments and strive to live a fuller, pain-free life. You hold the key to your own fitness.
Now, how do you get there? It's usually a combination of factors; diet, exercises, visiting your physician and, of course, physical therapy. At ATP and Medical Lake PT, our therapists give you their full attention for the duration of your visit. No undertrained PT Assistants, no under-paid/trained aides that just put hot packs on you. You get nothing but the full attention of a highly trained therapist that has dedicated to removing or reducing your pain through alternative yet proven therapies.
Rolfing, Somatics, Dynamic Manual Interface, Visceral Manipulation, Pelvic Floor work, Craniosacral Techniques, Trigger-Point….more than I can mention.
Our great folks can only do so much until you great folks decide to take charge of your health. If you think that physical therapy may fit in with your health and wellness goals, give a us a call or drop us an email to find out how we can help.

Osteoporosis, Falls and Broken Bones
Falls Prevention Awareness Day is a great time to learn about the link between fall-related injuries and osteoporosis. The good news is it is never too late to identify and treat osteoporosis or to prevent falls to avoid broken bones. Speak to your healthcare provider about how to reduce your risks for osteoporosis and falls, about getting a bone density test, and about medications, if necessary, to treat osteoporosis.
How are falls and osteoporosis linked?
Take action to prevent osteoporosis and falls
-Eat a balanced diet rich in calcium.
-Take vitamin D supplements.
-Get regular physical activity.
-Don't smoke.
-Limit your alcohol.
-Check your home for safety.
-Talk with your doctor about a screening test.
What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become thin, weak, and more likely to break. Although you can break a bone in any part of your body, the most common broken bones associated with osteoporosis are the spine, wrist, and hip.
You have the power and ability to minimize your risk of injury-by-falls and increase your health. We can help!
"Feel Better!'
We received this letter via courier just this afternoon. We have made appropriate notifications to those directly affected and will be attempting to contact each and every ATP and ML client we have that is in the Group Health network.
Over the weekend, we will be mulling our options but in the meantime, we encourage you to notify your GH representative for clarification of your status and to voice your opinion.
More on Monday.
Enjoy your weekend, dear Friends.

Plans to spend $215 million over the next five years to replace 100 4000-series railcars under a contract with Kawaski. The cars have had numerous problems with brakes, lights and air conditioning. An overhaul for the cars would cost about $1.5 million per car.
July 7, 2011
The 364 7000-series cars include a customer-preferred blue and gray interior color scheme; a stainless steel exterior with 64 vinyl padded seats and seat-back grab handles; two dynamic LCD route maps and four video screens in each car; and a "quad-unit configuration" of the cars.
July 27, 2010
Agency received $150M in federal funds for the procurement of the new generation railcars. Of the 428 new cars, 128 will enable the expansion of Metro service on the Dulles rail corridor and 300 will be used to replace the 1000 series cars.

So when's it coming? :D
Eastern Front is a free mod for Company of Heroes. Following the ethos of mimicking a Relic Entertainment expansion pack, Eastern Front has succeeded in adding two full new factions, the Soviet Red Army and the German Ostheer, packed with unique and exciting units to the existing armies - a feat never before achieved in the Company of Heroes world.
So when's it coming? :D
It should come at the next full version, we plan to do it for the Steam version... but if the issues we have with Steamworks cannot be fixed, it will force us to release as usual.
Me & DM still have to muddle through animating all Variants first, then you have testing, please also consider that this is in and around our day to day lives so the answer at the moment is "how long is a piece of string".
The model mesh, UV mapping of both diffuse & occlusion channels are complete along with the textures for all variants so it shouldn't be too long, when we get time really.
The new T-34 models are ******* amazing, can't wait
Hot damn!
The SU-100 & SU-85 hulls have identical dimensions (minus the height due to a hatch on the SU-85).
Both hulls are approximately 20' long, the SU-85 barrel makes the vehicle 6'9" longer & the SU-100 barrel makes it 10' longer (if I remember right).
The hulls are structured differently but essentially based on the same design and dimensions.
We did do research before deciding to make the chassis partially universal.
Even if what you said was the case it would make a negligible difference in game play as it's hardly noticeable.
