This game for the nintendo 64 is a brill game because it feels as if you are in the driving seat of a 340 horse power super car. The controls are easy to master and the actual race dosn't last for the proper amount of time. Ether in the pits or racing around hairpin turns this game is for the sport lover who would do anything for glory. Also there are great option modes which let you chose from a wide range of these one of a kind super cars.
I was sceptical about Le Mans 24 after reading reviews stating it was 'just another average racing game', but decided to buy the game and I'm more than pleasantly surprised! The graphics are superb: Le Mans is without doubt the best-looking Dreamcast game so far. The cars are drivable, the computer AI cars are competitive, and the draw distance is amazing! You do not have to opt for a full 24 hour race, you can have just a 10 minutes race, or a 30 minutes, but I recommend a full days' driving - play with a few mates and take shifts, its a real achievement to complete no matter what position you finish in! The single player game is excellent, but there's nothing as good as the sublime 4 player races. No graphical glitches, no pop up and no tediousness! Remarkable!
On any platform, the EA Sports series has pretty much dominated all sport categories. For the Nintendo 64, there have only been two contenders for the hockey category, the Breakaway series, and Wayne Gretzky's hockey. Neither of them fully satisfied my hockey thirst, so it was a great pleasure to try out NHL '99. Gameplay There are three skill levels in the game, Beginner, Intermediate, and All-Star. I started on intermediate first, but I found the pace too sluggish. Fortunately, by turning up the difficulty level, the movement is quite fluid, but it also becomes more difficult to score. It would have been nice to have a speed setting. The game gives you a few options to choose from: you can play an International Tournament, a full season, exhibition game, or NHL Play-offs. You can also tweak the rules (ie: icing off), so you can have a no-holds barred type of game. Speaking of violence, fighting is back in this game, which I thought would be quite welcomed. Unfortunately, the fighting happens too often, with players you wouldn't expect to fight, and after a couple, it just gets plain boring. Luckily, there is a feature to turn that off as well. Playing a season is fun, but it could have been much better. First of all, any simulated games, and those that the computer plays, end up with scores of 1-0, 2-1. This happens through the entire season. It's not long till your fourth string center is in the top 10. Pretty pitiful. Another problem I have is with the goaltending. The game seems to favor much weaker teams in the goaltending department. Being Team Canada, I steam-rolled teams like Russia and Sweden, scoring about 5 goals a game. Then, I lose to Poland 2-1 because the goaltender is doing handstands in the net. I terribly outplayed them, outshoot them something like 55-10, but I couldn't score. The one goal I did score, was a fluke goal by the way. This happened consistently against any low-ranked tea
m. I love a challenge, but being robbed so poorly just isn't fun. Multi-player adds more life to this game. Players are easy to distinguish, and the mayhem is always more fun when your friends are over. My only complaint with multi-player is when there is a two on one, and both of the players are human-controlled, nine times out of ten the pass will go behind the net. That is a little annoying. All negative points aside, the game still has some hot and furious action (by far the best on the Nintendo 64), but with a little more fine-tuning, it could have been a masterpiece. Graphics The first thing that grabs you is the opening intro, which really pumps you up. The start-up menus, while a little cluttered, look pleasing to the eye. Once in the game, the graphics were smooth and crisp, and has all the features you would expect from an EA Sports game; degrading ice surface, punishing check animations, super goalie saves, etc. All the graphics are well done and colorful, but a little on the blurry side. There are multiple camera angles to enhance the polygon players, but, like any sport title, only one of the angles is truly playable. Audio The sound in this cart is nicely done, but nothing extravagant. The announcer has a few witty comments that don't get too repetitive. The organ music is nicely done, but I didn't hear enough of it for my taste. The crowd does chant to cheer on their home team, and the oohs and aahs are always quite appropriate. Also, after a hard check, the glass shakes, and the sounds are quite realistic. The game has great sound, but a little low on the variety side. Controls This game handles both the analog stick and the directional pad. It handles well with both, but I prefer the d-pad. The C-buttons are used for the fancy tricks like hook, dash, and wristshot, while the A and B buttons are kept for the basic pass and shoot. I didn't like the fact tha
t the dash button used the down C-button. The reason for this is because the button is so small, I sometimes would push the change strategy button, which covers a quarter of your screen. This is obviously very frustrating, especially when playing with your friends. Luckily, you can change the defaults to something more convenient, but you'll need a memory pack to save the changes. Re-Playability This is definitely a nice hockey game to play, especially with friends. Unfortunately, with the Atlanta Thrashers entering the NHL next season, some die-hard fans may be put off by that, since they know NHL '2000 is right around the corner. For those who couldn't care less about Atlanta, you have the option to trade players so that you can keep your rosters up to date. If you have a DexDrive, look around the 'Net; some kind people have already done that for you. Also, you can create your own players, which always adds to the fun, but only seven letters for the last name? Come on! Last Word Bar none, this is the best hockey game on the market right now for the Nintendo 64. It is not the best game, but the competition is rather weak. However, in March, Konami's NHL Blades of Steel '99 (the same makers of the acclaimed International Superstar Soccer Series) is coming out that could prove to be the better of the two. If you have to have hockey now, (like my best friend does), then run to the store. If you can wait a little while, see what the competition has to offer. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
I bought this game with the anticipation that I'd be able to drive around Le Mans in a realistic car for 24 Hours. Firstly, its about as realistic as Battlefield Earth and secondly you cant even drive around for 24hrs!!! Yep! You heard me, in fact its weirder than that. When racing the Le Mans part of the game (there are other rubbish arcade tracks), your lap times seem to run at a different speed to the 24hr countdown clock. Although some people might not care it does distract while trying to work out lap times etc… Nice one Infogrames, realism is your forte!! In fact it doesn't really matter as this game, although having simulation written all over it, is more arcadey than Need 4 Speed. You barely need to brake for any corners, the cars all handle virtually the same and there's no sense of actually driving a car. I've got a steering wheel and actually found it no different to using the gamepad, its that unrealistic!! The only good thing about it is Tiff Needell but he doesn't say much anyway and when he does its not very interesting or useful, he just points out that its getting dark or its raining which unless your looking in another direction (which I have to admit that I was most of the time because watching the walls was more fun) is blatantly obvious. There are several other tracks, all of which are tedious to drive and no lasting appeal at all. They havent even bothered to release a patch to fix the time problem and its been out over 7 months. Do Not buy this – unless you like torturing yourself. I guess I do!!!

What do you picture when you think up the average New Balance customer? Is it the middle aged white dude with a scruffy face and a flannel shirt? Or is it the younger customer caught queuing up for the latest collab releases or hunting down a prized Made in USA pair? Saturday Night Live recently poked a bit of fun at a segment of the brand's perceived consumer base, suggesting with this video that many of the folks who go out and purchase New Balance aren't exactly putting miles on them. And while that may be true to some degree for some consumers, there's no denying that New Balance has, especially in recent years, some serious traction in the "sneakerhead" community via their awesome lifestyle stuff, not to mention their longstanding offerings in the performance running game. See the video below and let us know what you think of SNL's take on some of the devoted New Balance wearers out there.

Tuckahoe Plantation, boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson, is a National Historic Landmark and is protected in perpetuity by a preservation easement donated by the owners. It is considered by architectural historians to be among the finest early 18th century plantation homes in America.
A guest at Tuckahoe in the late 1700s commented that the house seemed "to be built solely to answer the purpose of hospitality". Built between 1730 and 1740, this unique Randolph family plantation home and its outbuildings have persisted through a rich American history. Almost three centuries have passed, and Tuckahoe still fits the description of southern hospitality.
The Randolphs of Tuckahoe
The mansion was built in the era of great plantations in Virginia, during the 17th and 18th centuries. There were few towns or cities in the colony, therefore, plantations developed as economically and geographically independent entities. At its height, Tuckahoe consisted of 25,000 acres that farmed tobacco, livestock, and wheat with three mills on the property.
"Thomas of Tuckahoe", one of the sons of William and Mary Randolph of Turkey Island, first settled Tuckahoe's site in 1714. It was Thomas's son, William, who is credited with building the mansion as we know it today.
The Jeffersons' time at Tuckahoe
Before his death in 1745 William ensured that his children would be cared for and educated at home should he die. In his will, he named his good friend, Peter Jefferson and cousin Jane Randolph Jefferson, guardians of his children.
Thus it was that Thomas Jefferson spent his youth at Tuckahoe and received his first education in the small one-room school house that still stands today. It is interesting to note the architectural features of Tuckahoe, including elaborate cornices, alcoves, grand staircases, and domed ceilings that may have influenced Jefferson's thoughts on architecture.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be taking a look at a football district a day. Today: Class 3A-5.
Listed in order of 2011 finish with overall/district record
1. Berkeley Prep (12-1, 3-0)
2. Clearwater Central Catholic (8-3, 2-1)
3. Tampa Catholic (6-4, 1-2)
4. St. Petersburg Catholic (2-8, 0-3)
Did you know?
Every team in this district has advanced to the state semifinals at least once in the past nine seasons. But none has ever won a state title.
Four things to expect this fall
It's the Marauders' time: Clearwater Central Catholic has a shiny new stadium, complete with an artificial-turf field. It also has a team good enough to win the school's first district title since 2005. CCC has plenty of returners on both sides and benefits from the top contenders in their district, Berkeley Prep and Tampa Catholic, dealing with losses at key skill positions.
Or is it? Sure, Berkeley lost 14 seniors including USC signee Nelson Agholor and nearly every other skill player on its roster. But let's see a show of hands for all who doubt Dominick Ciao. Berkeley's veteran coach will have the Bucs ready.
QB derby: The recent bombshell dropped by Tampa Catholic 6-foot-5 QB Chivarsky Corbett, who said he's giving up football to focus on hoops, leaves coach Bob Henriquez with an abbreviated battle for the starting job. Corbett's 2011 backup, Mitchell Norden, will vie with Plant transfer Kyle Ploucher.
In a rush: SPC has the ultimate weapon in the running game in Ryan Green and plans to feature him in a ball-control offense. Green should benefit from an improved offensive line that gets a boost with Reilly Gibbons switching from tight end to tackle.
Players to watch
RB Ryan Green, St. Petersburg Catholic: FSU recruit has rushed for 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons and is poised for even bigger numbers.
DB Michael Stevenson, Clearwater Central Catholic: Big-time prospect headlines one of the best secondaries in the area and could see time in the backfield as a running back.
ATH Diquan Walker, Clearwater Central Catholic: Rushed for 62 yards in spring against Hernando and will catch plenty of passes as a receiver.
RB Chris Williams, Berkeley Prep: A blend of stockiness (5-5, 165 pounds) and speed, Williams projects as the every-down back in the Bucs' ball-control scheme.
OL Corey Martinez, Tampa Catholic: Whomever wins the QB job has a far better chance of staying upright thanks to this 6-4, 305-pound Division-I prospect with two SEC offers.
Mark your calendars
CCC at Berkeley Prep, Oct. 19: The Marauders have struggled in this series, losing the past three by a combined 100-21. But CCC is poised for a breakthrough with a veteran team in a game that will ultimately decide the district champion.
Projected finish
1. Clearwater Central Catholic
2. Berkeley Prep
3. Tampa Catholic
4. St. Petersburg Catholic
Also in this series
Class 2A, District 5

FDIC closes 3 locations on Friday
Cliff Buchan
News Editor
For the third time in a little over two years, a bank in the Forest Lake area has failed.
Patriot Bank Minnesota, with headquarters in Forest Lake and two offices in Lino Lakes, was the latest area bank to go under. Regulators from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation closed the bank on Friday.
On Saturday, the three locations reopened as First Resources Bank which is based in Savage. The Forest Lake bank was the first in the state this year to fail.
The closure of Patriot Bank comes three months after the FDIC closed The RiverBank which was headquartered in Wyoming. The RiverBank's six locations were purchased by Central Bank of Stillwater.
In December, Central Bank passed on its purchase of the Wyoming facility, closing that location.
It was the second bank in Wyoming to close last year. Earlier, Patriot Bank closed its small Wyoming office and moved its headquarters to Forest Lake in the Headwaters commercial development.
The closure of Patriot Bank marks the first bank failure of the new year in Minnesota.
The bank saw its start in 1998 as Lino Lakes State Bank. The first Forest Lake office opened in 2003 in the Schilling Plaza near Forest Lake High School.
In 2005, the bank changed its name and moved its charter to Wyoming as Patriot Bank Minnesota. In June of 2008, the bank broke ground for its new Forest Lake facility and occupied the building in December of the same year. The bank was the first commercial project to locate in Headwaters near the county government center and public library.
The bank has struggled in recent years following the trend of other community banks that specialize in commercial lending. The bank lost $5.7 million in 2011, the third year in a row that it had been hit with losses.
As 2011 opened, Patriot Bank Minnesota reported an equity rate of just over 1 percent. The equity rate is a measure of safety and federal regulators look for a rate in the area of 7 percent, according to a banker in the Forest Lake area.
All deposits are insured by the FDIC. The FDIC said this week all Patriot Bank customers will be able to use their existing branch bank until they hear from First Resources Bank.
The area's first bank closure came in September of 2009 when Mainstreet Bank, Forest Lake, failed and Central Bank made its first move to the Forest Lake area.

in Slovenia has made a breakthrough that has resulted in the world's
first microlaser that emits in 3D. The new 3D
microlaser was created at the Jožef Stefan Institute in
Ljubljana, Slovenia.The laser that has been developed is
small, tunable, and cheap to build making it the world's first
practical 3D laser. The laser has been described in a recent issue of
Optics Express and was developed by Matjaž Humar and Igor Muševic.
The laser is a microdroplet 3D laser system that allows light to
shine in all directions using a dye molecule lodged inside spherical
drops of helical molecules that are dispersed in a liquid.Muševic
said, "This is the first practical 3-D laser ever produced."
He believes that millions of the microdroplet lasers can be made in
seconds and can then be used in coherent light emitters. The helical
molecules used in the novel lasers are choleric liquid crystals that
are similar to the key molecules used inside LCDs.
molecules don't mix well with the polymer liquid that surrounds
them. The inability of the two to mix creates an index of refraction
that varies periodically outward through the body of the 15 micron
droplets. The researchers describe the molecules like an onion with
the layers corresponding to materials with different index of
refraction.The active medium inside the new lasers is the
florescent dye molecules that are inside the liquid crystals. The
lasers are very easy to build because the molecules self assemble
according to chemistry meaning that no fabrication process is
needed."Scientists have been trying to make these lasers
from solid state materials, but you can imagine how difficult it is
to make hundreds of alternating shells of optical materials, which
should be very uniform," said Muševic. "The beauty of our
approach is that such a 3-D onion droplet is self-assembled in a
fraction of a second."The scientists also say that the
laser can be tuned without needing to replace the droplets. Tuning
can be done my modifying the temperature of the laser and possibly by
applying an additional electric filed.

London, June 23 (ANI): Amy Winehouse's older brother Alex has claimed that it was an eating disorder and not her addictions that killed the singer two years ago.
In his first full-length interview, the 33-year-old told the Observer Magazine that his sister's long battle with bulimia "left her weaker, and more susceptible," the Guardian reported.
He said that she would have died eventually, the way she was going, but what really killed her was the bulimia.
An inquest recorded a verdict of misadventure after finding that she had 416mg of alcohol per decilitre in her blood - more than five times the legal drink-drive limit and enough to make her comatose and depress her respiratory system.
According to her brother, who was speaking to mark the opening of an exhibition dedicated to his sister's life at the Jewish Museum in Camden, north London, her system had been fatally weakened by years of bulimia, a disease in which bouts of extreme overeating are followed by depression and self-induced vomiting.
He added that had she not have had an eating disorder, she would have been physically stronger.
He revealed that Amy had developed bulimia in her late teens and had never shaken off the illness. (ANI)

What's hot: Everyone is talking about how hot the water and air temperature is. They're gabbing about how it has affected fishing and, more than that, how it has affected the anglers themselves.
Work-around: To put fish on the table, you simply have to adjust to the heat. There are two tactics you can use in these conditions.
First, get out on the water early. Be on the water by 6:30 a.m. and off by 11. Second, target a species that is warm-water tolerant, such as pompano. The nearly 90-degree water temperature doesn't affect these mighty pullers.
The payoff: So that's exactly what Bob Hart of Doc's Goofy Jig fame, Irene Frazier and I did early one morning.
We were rigged and hit the pass just after 7. Soon as Irene's pink-and-white G3 Goofy hit the bottom, she was hooked up. But it didn't meet the 11-inch minimum size limit. Then it was Bob's turn, and by the way his rod was bent, it looked like a good one.
We ended up catching 12 fish, and we were back at the dock before we even broke a sweat.

text: Should have introduced myself first before posting my first comment I suppose. Been shooting with a Bessa R3A, Nokton 40mm SC and XP2 for the last couple of years here in Tokyo. Trying hard to capture something a little different than the usual gaijin in Tokyo fodder (though I do a lot of that too). You can see my results on my homepage and I welcome any comments, feedback, suggestions etc. Before shooting film I spent a couple of years with a Pentax digital SLR. Not sure what made me revert back to film but the lines of the R3A were certainly a component. Take care Guy

Tulsa Gas Station Robbed By Man Who Apologizes for Incident
A Tulsa gas station was the scene of a robbery early Wednesday morning where a man left with more than $400 in cash.
Tulsa Police said the incident occurred at the Phillips 66 station near 31st and Yale. Just after 3:30 a.m. a white male dressed in camo gear entered the business armed with a silver handgun and demanded cash.
Officers said he was able to get away with approximately $498 in cash. After he received the money, the clerk told police that the man apologized and told him it was for his family.
He was seen entered a beat up pickup truck and also was wearing a black hoodie and gloves.
Anyone with information on the robber should contact Crime Stoppers at (918) 596-COPS.


text: So after reading these forums for a while I decided to upgrade my ties. My current budget allowed me to opt for Brooks Brothers, but a buddy of mine from work told me one of the patterns/colors is juvenile. It's navy, purple, white, and red, and I figured I could wear it with a charcoal grey or navy suit. I work at an investment firm. What are your thoughts?

text: Caselli Back On Top Mark Kariya | April 15, 2013 Kurt Caselli moved back into the National Hare & Hound points leading after winning the No-Bull National at Lucerne. Photography By: Mark KariyaKurt Caselli, of the FMF/KTM Factory Off-Road Racing Team, took a huge step forward at the No Bull National Hare & Hound, hosted by the So Cal Motorcycle Club, April 14. Not only did he win the event at the Johnson Valley Off-Highway Vehicle Area outside of Lucerne Valley, California, but also with previous points leader David Kamo having a bad day, Caselli leaped to the top of the points table.The race served as round four of the AMA Racing/FMF/GPR Hare & Hound National Championship Series and Caselli got off to a good start, chasing only Purvines Racing Beta's T.J. Hannafin for a few miles. But Western Design Racing TM's Tuffy Pearson also had his eye on the top spot and led for several miles.Caselli, however, bided his time and after he struck, there was no keeping him in sight; he would win by almost five minutes over Off-Road Support/Kawasaki of Simi Valley's Jacob Argubright.Pearson held on to finish a best-to-date third overall, easily giving him the Open A victory.Purvines Racing Beta's Nick Burson and Johnny Campbell Racing-supported Evan Kelly rounded out the top five overall.Previous points leader David Kamo suffered through a bad day almost from the start, getting cut off on the bomb run and crashing at speed, leaving him with a lot of ground to make up by the time he got rolling again. The JCR Honda-supported rider would finish 16th overall, thus earning five points and giving him 73 to drop to third behind Caselli (85) and Argubright (82). Burson is now fourth with 62, and Kendall Norman, who's ridden – and won – only the first two rounds is fifth with 60.

With the influx of contemporary housing and architecturally-driven home design, it can be easy to lose the core essence of comfort and livability that a well-built home should possess. For the designers at Constantino Studio, good architecture does not have to come at the expense of a unique, down-home feeling. Situated in Ontario, Canada, the "44 Belvedere" home boasts an exterior that would make a design museum envy its sharp edges and clean linework, and yet, the amenities and interior construction is as welcoming as a quaint, off the beaten path family home. The open-air vibe of the home is augmented with the expansive window space that is created to both provide natural light to the interior while breaking apart the stark exterior wall space. Outside a patio area and below-ground pool complement the natural green grass and wooded environment in which the house was crafted.

text: SAMUEL STEAD - Among the many prominent English farmers of Macoupin county may be mentioned the name that heads this sketch. He was born in Skelmanthorpe, Yorkshire, England, May 17th, 1823; was the son of Benjamin and Martha Stead. The Stead family were quakers, and have lived in Yorkshire for many generations. Mr. Stead's father was a farmer, and owned a small place, but as he carried on farming rather extensively, he also rented land of Lord Lumley Savel. In the spring of 1840, he emigrated to America with his wife and family of seven children; the subject of our sketch remaining in England. Mr. Stead landed at New York in April, and immediately came to St. Louis, where he remained two months; he then came into Macoupin county and settled on section 1, in Nilwood township, this being in the summer of 1840. On the trip from St. Louis he accidentally shot himself and received injuries from which he never entirely recovered; he lingered along until the following Christmas, when he died. His wife survived him many years. The subject of our sketch remained in England for four years afer his father's removal. In 1844 he came to Nilwood, Macoupin county, direct from England. For four years he lived with his mother and assisted on the farm. June, 1848, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Howard, a native of Kentucky. Her father, Samuel Howard, settled in Macoupin county in the fall of 1830. After Mr. Stead's marriage he began farming for himself and has so continued up to the present time, and had made a success out of his chosen vocation. Mr. and Mrs. Stead started out if life littled aided, and what they have acquired in this world has been gained by industry and economy; they have a good home and everything around them to make their declining years comfortable. They have had a family of six children; four living, namely: Helen, now the wife of Frederick Garst, living in Kansas; Robert T., now farming in Nilwood township; Lucinda D. and Jonas K. D., now at home. In politics Mr. Stead is a republican. He is a member of the Methodist church, and Mrs. Stead is a member of the Christian church. Such is a brief sketch of one of the old and much respected citzens of Nilwood township.

Tributes have been paid to a former teaching assistant from Leighton Buzzard who was killed on Saturday (July 26) as she tried to cross a road with her dog.
Jan Short, 63, and her pet Toby died in Weymouth, Dorset after they were involved in a collision with a Honda motorbike at about 5pm. The 23-year-old motorcyclist was also killed in the incident.
Before moving to Weymouth, Jan worked at Brooklands School.
A statement released by the family said: "Jan, originally from Leighton Buzzard, moved to Weymouth with her husband Andrew to be closer to their family, after retiring as a teaching assistant 12 months ago.
"Jan and Andrew would have celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary in September. Jan was mum to three children, Adam, Emma and Caroline, and nanna to her six adored grandchildren, whom she loved more than we can find words to express at this time."
Jan's husband Andrew added: "Jan was the centre of our world and in a split second, tragically taken from us all.
"The love that her young grandchildren will now miss out on is a void we can only hope to fill by finding the strength to pull together as a family.
"Her wonderful spirit, love and enthusiasm will be missed every day by everyone who was fortunate enough to know her."
PC Andy Loveless, of Dorset Police's traffic unit, said: "Early indications are that the motorcyclist was travelling north, from the Swannery bridge location toward Chafeys roundabout, and the female pedestrian walked out to cross the road into the path of the motorcycle.
"The motorcyclist, the pedestrian and the dog all sadly died as a result of the injuries they received from the collision.
"The road was closed for several hours while police collision investigators carried out a thorough examination at the scene and the public are thanked for their patience while this time consuming but essential process took place.
"I would like to speak to any witnesses that have not already spoken to police and ask them to make contact Dorset Police on 101."

Frank over at Bad Money Advice recently took the Baltimore Sun to task about how money really gets wasted, and I agree with him. We've all heard about the various money drains: the latte drain, the gym drain, and the failing to use the library drain among others. But in the real world, these expenses are minimal at best. On a monthly basis, a few lattes, a $35 gym expense, and two or three books from Amazon would add up to less than $80. Nothing to sneeze at but there are some much more serious drains that really add up to a whole lot more money. Getting these under control would have a much bigger impact than giving up a latte or two.
And before you think I'm on top of things … I've made ALL these mistakes.
Too Much House Drain
Let's be honest. How much house do you really need? "We like to entertain" is the fru-fru excuse you hear on HGTV, but gimme a break. How much real "entertaining" do you do? What, do you need a stage or something? Buying too much house is probably the top money drain of our modern society. I frequently look around at my home and marvel at the wasted space, the unused space.
Buying just $50,000 more house than you really need winds up costing you much more than just $50,000. There's interest, taxes, maintenance, repairs, furniture, frequent "updating," and cleaning, not to mention the wasted resources. Chances are you'll only use three rooms 90 percent of the time you're at home!
Too Much Car Drain
Buying too much car used to be the obvious fault of young professionals, but with the advent of home equity loans and some slick marketing, now buying too much car is as common as credit cards. Companies are constantly looking to twist and segment a market so they can exploit any unrecognized hunger. Lexus found that market by creating a luxury car that originally was the price of a lower end Cadillac or Lincoln, but much nicer than a Ford of Chevrolet. Add is a little marketing and BAM! a Lexus in the driveway at Christmas (with a big red bow of course) became the status symbol of choice.
Buying too much car hurts your budget over and over. Why? Because a car is a liability – it never produces income and constantly loses value. Solution: buy a good quality vehicle that gets you where you need to go and let your savings account balance be your personal status symbol.
Too Much Private School Drain
This is a touchy subject for me. I do have my children in private school but I'm constantly wondering if it truly is worth it. Our school isn't that expensive when compared to many others. I recently looked at one school in the Dallas area that was $15,000 per year per student! I'm not paying quite that much, but the amount is enough that it makes me wonder if I'm getting my money's worth. I wonder if I should put them in the local public school … it IS the top rated school in the entire state.
This is obviously a VERY personal decision but if you're in a tight budgetary situation, this large expense could be one that breaks you free from money worries, allows you to build your emergency fund, and keeps you on budget.
Too Much Vacation Drain
If there's a place where I have a weakness, it's in taking vacations and travel, BUT I have started paying for them in cash rather than charging up the credit cards. I've also been able to use hotel points, airline miles, and other perks and benefits offered by various companies I do business with so my travel expenses are minimized.
One great thing about the Internet is that it allows anyone to research ways to save money and then take advantage of those finds. Don't be afraid to research the best deal, then try to get a local travel agent to beat it!
Too Much Miscellaneous Drain
In reality, there is no such thing as miscellaneous. Everything has a category. Are you buying too much ____ (you fill in the blank). What is your weakness? Planning too big of a wedding? Buying too much new electronic equipment when it comes out? Dining out every meal? Buying too much in season tickets? Buying too much in an RV, boat, 4-wheeler, SeaDoo, or hunting club? Buying too much country club membership?
These are the REAL top money drains. Sure, the little things can add up, but rarely do 3 lattes per week compare to a $7,500 exotic vacation every two years. A $35/month gym membership that you only occasionally use doesn't compare to spending $50,000 too much on a home, and a couple of books from Amazon each month will never compare to buying a new car every two or three years.
"Mind the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves" is wrong
We have to mind the dollars AND the pennies! If you find yourself in a financial tight spot, look at where you can make the biggest impact first, then move down the list to the lattes and gym memberships. If you're just getting started, think about how much of these items you really need and make the wise decision to give top priority to your retirement, your emergency fund, and your savings account.

Inside, the depot looks pretty much as it did when it was built in the 1880s. The freight area was left rough, while the waiting room and station master's office have been painted a yellow similar to its original color. The main exception, of course, is that the depot now has insulation, ceiling fans, heating and air conditioning, a handicap-accessible ramp and guard rail. A unisex restroom has replaced the old "indoor outhouse."
Designed to handle passengers and freight, the west end served passengers, the east was for freight with a station master's office separating the two areas. The depot last served New Haven rail travelers going east to Toledo and west through Fort Wayne to St. Louis in 1964. It was shuttered and left to endure weather extremes, natural deterioration and vandalism until 1988 when NHAHA acquired the deed from Norfolk & Western Railroad, thus saving it from demolition.
It was given a new coat of paint and a tar paper roof, and in 2003 was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. According to Alison Adams, NHAHA president, restoration costs were rising faster than money was coming in. "We were able to raise a goodly amount doing house clearances for people moving or evicted who didn't want to deal with an auction or selling the furnishings themselves. They would, in effect, donate everything to NHAHA (a not-for-profit organization) and receive a tax deduction. We would clear the place out and sell what we could at garage sales. We always found at least one or two things in each clearance that was actually worth something, along with a lot of junk and even a couple live hand grenades."
In late 2006 NHAHA partnered with the City of New Haven for a Federal Transportation Enhancement grant specifying that two percent of federal highway funds must go toward "enhancement" and not just automotive related projects. The city's portion would go to construct a final section of the River Greenway trail. What was expected to take a year or more to get approved was surprisingly granted in June 2007.
"Receiving the grant was great news," says Adams, "but it was like having an elephant dropped in your lap! They would provide 80% of the cost and we had to raise 20%. Our preliminary estimates of moving the depot 60 feet east to a new foundation and doing the restoration work came to $150,000. It was based on using local labor. The Federal government, however, requires paying workers more than double what we had projected and have a site inspector on the property during the work to make sure everything was done to Federal standards. The entire cost for the depot and trail was now up to nearly one million dollars and our portion was 20% of more than $750,000 which came out to around $140,000. Of course we didn't have nearly that much."
NHAHA took the money it did have and hired a grant writer. "It was money well invested," says Adams. "She got us grants of $50,000 from the Fort Wayne Community Foundation, $45,000 from the Foellinger Foundation, $10,000 from the Kuhne Foundation and $5,000 from the Ewing Trust. The balance came from NHAHA's other fundraising activities.
An architect was hired, meetings were held with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), applications were filed and permissions sought prior to INDOT putting its stamp of approval on the project before actual physical work began in September 2011. First came the concrete foundation, then the structure was gingerly hoisted and painstakingly moved to its new site. Then the rest of the renovation began and a new platform with handicap-accessible ramp was built.
The classic old depot, which was recently awarded an Arch Award for outstanding institutional restoration, now starts a new life as starting point for New Haven's regional trial system. Federal regulations require that the city control the property for the next 25 years it is currently providing insurance coverage. NHAHA is working toward a partnership with the New Haven Adams Township Parks & Recreation Department to maximize use of and access to the building.
Adams says it will make a delightful place to hold reunions, parties, railroad club meetings, picnics and other functions, but would probably not be good for a wedding since trains roar past every 15 or 20 minutes. Fees charged for use of the building will go toward its maintenance.

In the class, we will discuss the principles and practice of computer system security. We will not address network security in this course, since it is the topic of CSE 508.
The first objective of this course is to provide a broad overview of issues and approaches in building and administering secure systems. The second objective of this course is to expose students to some of the latest research in computer and software security. This course is thus ideal for any one considering research or a career in cyber security.
Students seeking a career in software development should be aware that the vast majority of security problems today can be traced to software vulnerabilities. This course will help you understand the nature of the threats posed by these vulnerabilities, and ways to mitigate them. A survey of software vulnerabilities, and more generally, cyber threats, can be found by clicking on the links for the first one or two topics in the course.

Consumer advocates are warning that controls are needed to protect the motorists' data recorded by commercial outfits, reports the New York Times. "It's a huge Pandora's box," says Jack Gillis of the Consumer Federation of America, citing the potential for "tremendous violations." Database and auto-repossession companies are among those who use automatic license plate recognition technology in their daily operations. Advocates say that, among others, this begs the following questions: How long are the photos stored? How secure is the data? Is the data shared? Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center offers a scenario of misuse, noting that while many companies say their data is encrypted, "you have to ask, 'who has the key?'"

Better Produce Inc. adds production
Santa Maria-based Better Produce Inc. has begun shipping strawberries out of Oxnard this year to complement its existing production in the Santa Maria district, said salesman Sal Barajas.
By doing so, he said the grower-shipper could offer its customers nearly year-round supplies.
Barajas credited some of the newer strawberry varieties for extending seasons in both production regions.
"I'm pretty sure there's a peak, but they can pretty much produce all season long," he said.
CBS Farms adds organic acreage
CBS Farms, Watsonville, has added organic production in the Oxnard area so it can offer customers organic strawberries about 11 months of the year, said Charlie Staka, sales director. It already had organic production in the Watsonville area.
"It's something that I think a lot of our customers have come to expect," he said about nearly year-round availability.
The berries, packed under the Surfside label, are certified by California Certified Organic Farmers.
TransFresh installs Tectrol packaging system
Salinas-based TransFresh Corp. has installed a high-velocity Tectrol application system at Western Precooling Systems, Oxnard.
The system simultaneously grips and lifts pallets to aid application and sealing of poly sheeting in a seamless operation, according to a news release. This streamlines the process as pallets move toward the conveyor for Tectrol application.
Tectrol's Modified Atmosphere Packaging system involves a sealed pallet cover and specific levels of injected carbon dioxide.
Independent studies by the University of California, Davis, and the University of Florida found the proprietary system helped maintain strawberry fruit quality during shipment and extend fruit shelf life by about two days, according to the release.
Wish Farms adds California organics
Plant City, Fla.-based Wish Farms, the largest grower-shipper of organic strawberries in Florida, has expanded the program to include California-grown organic strawberries this season from the Santa Maria area.
"We have customers here asking us for organics from California as well, so it will be a nice fit to have organic and conventional," said Gary Wishnatzki, president and chief executive officer. "Customers like that continuity, and it will be a nice complement to have organics going into the summer."
Wish Farms also just released a children's book titled, "Misty the Garden Pixie," which introduces the operation's mascot, Misty, and her job making things sweeter on the farm.
Wishnatzki said he came up with the idea after attending a conference and hearing a consultant speak about creating the persona of a huggable car dealer.
"The light bulbs just started going on," he said. "Why aren't we writing a children's book? We have the pixie and we could broaden our brand and promote healthy eating of fresh fruits and vegetables."
Wishnatzki said his wife, Therese, was the author and a friend helped illustrate it.
The book can be purchased from the grower-shipper's website, www.wishfarms.com.

AC Transit is considering a new way for passengers to pay for some bus rides with a plan to phase out paper transfers and offer a new day pass good for unlimited rides in a single day.
The public is invited to comment on the plan in a series of community forums starting Tuesday.
Adults would pay $5 for the new day bus pass. Youths, seniors and the disabled would pay $2.50 for the pass, which could be purchased either with cash or a Clipper Card payment.
AC Transit carries some 180,000 passengers a day in an area from Fremont to San Pablo.
Under the current fare system, riders can transfer from one local bus to another with a paper transfer that costs 25 cents and is good for two hours.
"The transfers would be obsolete with a new day pass," said AC Transit spokesman Clarence Johnson.
Abolishing the transfers would speed up bus loading and overall service, while ending riders' anxiety over not using the transfer within the two-hour time limit, he said.
Public forums on the plan will be held at the following:
— Fremont: 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the California School for the Blind, 500 Walnut Ave.
— Hayward: 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Hayward City Hall, 777 B St., Room 2A.
— Oakland: 10 to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 12 at AC Transit headquarters, 1600 Franklin St.
— Berkeley: 6 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 14 at the North Berkeley Senior Center, 1901 Hearst Ave.
— Oakland: 6 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Cesar Chavez Branch Library, 3301 East 12th St.
— Richmond: 6 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Richmond City Council Chambers, 440 Civic Center Plaza.
The AC Transit board also will hold public hearings on the plan at 2 p.m. and again at 5 p.m. on Oct. 23 at its headquarters, 1600 Franklin St., Oakland.

JERUSALEM (Jun. 15)
Militant Palestinians fired on an Israel Defense Force vehicle and on a car belonging to the Shin Bet internal security service in the West Bank town of Hebron on Tuesday.
An Israeli soldier was slightly injured in the attack, which was launched by members of the Izz a-Din al-Kassam, the armed wing of the Islamic fundamentalist Hamas movement.
The incident took place at a time when Israel was initiating measures to ease tensions in Hebron, which has been a hotbed of unrest since the Feb. 25 massacre of at least 29 Palestinians at a local mosque by an Israeli settler.

This is a beautiful wide crack. Thanks to whoever put the anchors in. My partner and I saw this thing last winter and wanted to put it up. This past weekend we were happily disappointed that someone put some anchors in.
I agree with the gear 4.5 down low, ever widening. I led this with 1 4.5, 1- 5 Camalot, 1- #6 Friend. I basically walked the pieces up in that succession.

This one is pretty good if you like OW. Tape the left knee, elbow, and shoulder...
Big Bros are not so secure owing to the slight flare; use large cams instead. New style #5 and #6 are a good idea. The top gets slightly narrower than the middle again & the new style #5 Camalot is good.

|I'd say this is the best intro to IC wide climbing I've done. It was my first sandstone OW and I loved it so much I left blood from my ankles as thanks! I distinctly remember using (New BD) #5 for the start, #6 for the middle, and a #5 for the finish. A #6 gets jammed on the last 1/4 or so.

JoergB: Andres was there when we though we were putting the FA. He wanted to be the first, but he respectfully waited for his turn after us. Not that it matters, since Alex from the monsteroffwidth.com went a couple of years before, definitely before Andres.
In any case, Andres could climb this in his sleep. He is good at OW!

Using tech to keeping people visiting bricks and mortar stores.
PSFK challenged us to visualise the future of personal retail on the high street with grocery chain Whole Foods.
Consumer shopping habits are constantly evolving with more and more people relying on home delivery services rather than visiting a regular bricks and mortar shop.
We imagined a store in which customers don't simply shop for goods, they are given a bespoke branded experience; where the retail space constantly adapts to serve cultural, seasonal and local trends; and where technology seamlessly anticipates customers' needs and enriches their shopping experience, from recommending recipes to booking delivery times.
We produced this prototype video to demonstrate a typical customer journey through the Whole Foods store. In our example, a shopper is served useful and timely information to his smartwatch at multiple touchpoints throughout the store.
Our concept for the future of Whole Foods were included in PSFK's Future of Retail Report, which you can read in full by clicking the button below.

unable to get gui once solaris 10 is installed
i have installed solaris 10 on my system which is having intel processor and i have installed it on vmvare and also given 20 gb space installation was sucessful but gui is not comming up pls help
Have a look at the X server logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log).
I had the same issues during the first install.
The reason was lack of disk space for all the Java components to install.
If this is the case, then select Custom Install and then you can manually partition your amount of space needed.
Then select END USER INSTALL instead of FULL PACKAGE...
Are you dual booting with any other OS??
It worked for me.
Yep...your right...
For example, the SMC does not want to execute....or it does execute but cannot dicover the server.
But at least got my desktop system to work.

In medical school we had a joke: What is the biggest organ in the body? The answer, "skin," made us chuckle. Little did I know that skin would end up being the cause of so much distress to my teenage patients.
Why do teens get acne? Here's what my teen son says: "It's a ball of pus caused by hormones going crazy." Interestingly, he's right. The "ball of pus" is a pilosebaceous unit (sebaceous gland and hair follicle) that has become blocked with sebum (an oily substance), dead skin cells and the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes. These changes are induced in normal puberty by "hormones going crazy"—the increase in testosterone seen in both boys and girls.
Acne is common in teens: 80 percent have had it at some point. Unfortunately, "misery loves company" doesn't make a teenager feel better about his or her own acne. In fact, one study found that teens with severe acne were two to three times more likely to think about suicide than those with little or no acne.
For many, acne is more than an occasional pimple. It may be difficult to cover up as it may occur on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders. Acne is classified as mild, moderate or severe; and treatment is based on severity. Some people may be genetically predisposed to severe acne; that is, acne with nodules and cysts that can cause scars.
"Patience is a virtue" in treating acne. Even with treatment, it may take weeks to show significant improvement. Medical researchers continue to search for the most effective treatments. In May, a panel of pediatricians and dermatologists published their recommendations for acne treatments based on a review of many medical studies. Here are their recommendations:
Topical (applied to the skin) retinoids...are helpful for mild or moderate acne. Chemically related to vitamin A, retinoids work by clearing up existing acne and preventing new lesions. Side effects are dry skin and sunburn if exposed to the sun (photosensitivity). Tretinoin, adapalene and tazarotene are available by prescription.
Benzoyl peroxide...is a topical antimicrobial. It can be used by itself for mild acne or in combination with other drugs for moderate or severe acne. Benzoyl peroxide treats acne by killing the acne-causing bacteria. Side effects may include peeling, dryness, and skin irritation. Some benzoyl peroxide products are available over the counter, while others are by prescription.
Antibiotics...can be used topically or taken orally. Antibiotics decrease the number of bacteria in the acne lesions and reduce inflammation. Topical antibiotics are indicated for mild inflammatory acne whereas oral antibiotics are used for moderate or severe acne. Topical medications include clindamycin or erythromycin. Minocycline and doxycycline are the most commonly used oral antibiotics.
One of the problems with antibiotics is that the acne bacteria can become resistant over time. Long-term antibiotic use is not recommended due to this problem. Using topical benzoyl peroxide in addition to antibiotics can help minimize resistance. Oral antibiotics may cause upset stomach, photosensitivity and other side effects. Antibiotics for acne need to be prescribed.
Topical combination treatments...combine two skin treatments in one, and are helpful for mild, moderate, or severe acne. They are convenient, making it more likely that a teen will keep using them as directed. They have the same side effects as the individual medications. All topical medications should be applied in a pea-sized amount to the entire face — not just the pimples — because it is important to treat the invisible early lesions of acne known as microcomedones. Popular combinations available by prescription are:
- 'BenzaClin' and 'Duac' (both contain benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin)
- 'Benzamycin' (benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin)
- 'Epiduo' (benzoyl peroxide and adapalene)
Birth control pills...that contain both an estrogen and a progestin may be prescribed for females with moderate or severe acne. Used only for girls, the pill decreases the testosterone involved in acne-production. Birth control pills are prescribed by a doctor and they may have minor side-effects.
Oral isotretinin...or 'Accutane' is like an antibiotic. It is prescribed only for severe acne that does not respond to other treatments and has the potential to scar. It decreases sebum production, normalizes skin peeling, decreases inflammation, and kills the bacteria. Side effects include dry, cracked skin at the corners of the mouth, high cholesterol and depression. If a pregnant woman takes Accutane it can cause birth defects, so in 2007 the FDA started iPLEDGE, a program to prevent this risk.
Truth or myth: Do certain foods cause pimples? Maybe and maybe not. But doctors and scientists agree that high-glycemic diets, dairy foods, chocolate, zinc and iodine need further study.
Truth or myth: Does stress cause acne? Truth! Doctors and scientists agree that stress can trigger acne. So here's my prescription:
- Exercise every day
- Eat a healthy diet
- Sleep well
And your teen may find this prescription helpful as well!

In a successful track and field program, it can be difficult to achieve any more "firsts" that have not already been achieved by teams passed. But the 2013 boys' and girls' track and field squads found a lot to be proud of after yet another successful Wildcat season.
For the first time in team history, the Waconia girls' team won the Section 4AA True Team Championship in early May to earn a berth to True Team State, where they would finish fifth.
In addition, two new school records were set. Paige Notch made nine feet, two inches the new WHS standard for the pole vault, while Anna Pioske broke the long jump record with a new distance of 17-05.
The Wildcat girls kicked off the season with a second place finish at St. Michael-Albertville on April 1, losing to Hutchinson by just one-third of a point. The outdoor season was delayed until April 25, but the 'Cats were second there as well.
Their week of home meets began April 29 with a Wright County Conference triangular. Easily defeating Mound-Westonka and Dassel-Cokato at the tri, the Waconia girls won all but two events. The girls also won their invitational at home on May 2.
The True Team Championship came May 8 at Orono and was followed by a runner up finish at the WCC championships May 16. The Waconia girls were also runners up at the Section 2AA meet May 29 and 31. Kirsten Wagener qualified for state in the long, high, and triple jumps, while Anna Pioske qualified in the triple and long jumps, as well as running the third leg of the 4×200 relay team. Fellow relay teammates Miranda Schultz, Karlye Vallafskey, and Molly Reighard also qualified in the 4×100 meter relay with Danielle Pioske.
At state, Wagener landed on the medal stand twice, seventh in the long jump and ninth in the high jump. She was 14th in the triple jump, while Pioske medaled in the event, finishing seventh. Pioske was also tenth in the long jump. The 4×200 relay did not finish, while the 4×100 was just shy of making the finals.
For the Waconia boys, the 2013 season was another step in the right direction of a successful program that will someday rival the girls'. The boys were second at both STMA and Delano in April. They handily topped Mound and D-C in their WCC tri, winning nearly every running event. Waconia was also sixth at its home invitational.
The Wildcats finished sixth at True Team Sections and were fourth in the WCC finals. The boys were 14th at the section meet and pulled down a handful of top 10 finishes.
The junior varsity teams also finished successful seasons, as the girls were WCC champions and the boys were runners up.
There are over 20 seniors leaving the program this season including Brandon Benson, Mark Brose, Kayla Christensen, Ryan Christensen, Kody DeLange, Paige Erickson, Jacob Fettig, Wylie Ferron, Jeni Haler, Alex Herman, Liz Hughes, Morgan Iverson, Alana Kiel, Rachel Kieser, Adam Kirsch, Ian Manske, Rhi McNulty, Anna Pioske, Brian Porter, Jennifer Schuette, Hannah Schultz, William Schultz, Megan Siebert, Tyler Thomas, Ben Vaske, and Ben Vogel.

Free agent swingman Damion James will be in camp with the Nuggets this fall, according to Mark Deeks of ShamSports.com, who reports that Denver has signed James to a fully non-guaranteed contract.
James was traded from the Hawks to the Nets on draft night in 2010 after being selected with the 24th overall pick. Since then, he has bounced back and forth between the two teams — after spending the first two seasons of his NBA career in New Jersey, he was in camp with the Hawks last year. Atlanta cut him before opening night, but James signed with the Nets later in the season and appeared in a pair of games for the club.

'Witness tampering' at Puffy trial
The defence team of rap star Sean "Puffy" Combs has been accused by the prosecution of tampering with witnesses.
Calls were made between Sean "Puffy" Combs or his associates and witnesses at his gun and bribery trial, according to phone records.
Club New York security guard Charise Myers said she had not spoken to Mr Combs after the incident, but records show a three-minute call from her home to Mr Combs' mobile phone on 8 January last year.
In the final day of testimony at the trial before closing statements on Monday, the prosecution produced phone records of three witnesses who testified they did not see the rap star with a gun during the shooting.
Mr Combs is charged with possession of a weapon and with trying to bribe his driver to take the blame.
Co-defendant Jamal Barrow, 21, faces charges of attempted murder and gun possession, while bodyguard Anthony Jones, 34, is accused of having the loaded gun by his feet.
The records also show five calls last January from a mobile phone owned by Christopher Chambers, a car mechanic who testified that he did not know Mr Combs.
According to the prosecution, the rap star apparently called him once that month.
Twenty-two calls were made from witness Glen Beck's home to Mr Combs' bodyguard, Paul Offord.
Saima Majid, a legal researcher for the district attorney who analysed the records, said she found no calls between Mr Beck and Mr Offord in the preceding year.
Miss Majid admitted during cross-examination by Mr Combs' lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, that she could not tell who made or answered a telephone call.
Mr Combs and Mr Jones face up to 15 years in prison if convicted, while Mr Barrow faces up to 25 years in prison on each of the three counts of attempted murder.
All three men deny the charges.

RICHMOND energiser Jake King is on track for his first Round 1 match in five seasons after recovering from surgery to his foot, wrist and posterior cruciate ligament.
But the Tigers have all but ruled out Nathan Foley for the traditional Carlton blockbuster, despite his encouraging progress from achilles and calf issues.
Carlton and Richmond appear on track to meet in reasonable shape, given their minimal injury lists leading into the NAB Cup.
Defenders Troy Chaplin (knee) and Dylan Grimes (hamstring) are both still in the rehab group, with Port Adelaide recruit Chaplin touch and go for Round 1.
But Richmond says the amount of work it has been able to get into its core group over the off-season is highly encouraging.
Through suspension and injury, King has missed the past four Round 1 clashes with Carlton, but he will bring just the kind of aggression the Tigers have lacked in games against their arch rival.
The Richmond coaching department was amazed at his productivity last year despite being battered by several injuries.
Tyrone Vickery has completed a solid pre-season after he had both shoulders tightened up, while Brett Deledio has overcome minor knee surgery since the end of the season.
Foley, who signed a three-year deal last year, had season-ending achilles surgery in July.
Now he needs to build up his calf strength, but seems unlikely to play in Round 1.
Richmond head of football Craig Cameron said the Tigers were in good shape.
"We had a couple who were slowed with operations prior to Christmas but our rehab group is pretty small," he said.
"At the moment I would have thought nearly everyone would be knocking the door down at the moment."
Former North Melbourne forward Aaron Edwards, who was arrested for drunkenness before he arrived at the club, has impressed his new teammates with his track form. He could be a handy foil for Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt.

Fellow PostgreSQLers. Today I found that I need a NOT IN subquery for the first time. It looks like this: SELECT r.id, r.parent_id, r.path, r.uri, r.size, r.mod_time FROM resource r, media_type t WHERE r.media_type__id = t.id AND r.id NOT IN (SELECT resource__id FROM job__resource WHERE job__id = 1027) ORDER BY path Now, I know that this has been optimized in 7.4, which is great, but I still need to support users of 7.1 and later. So I'd like to optimize this. I've gotten used to changinb IN queries to inner joins, but that doesn't work for NOT IN, of course. Am I missing something, or is this as optimal as it gets?
