About the hotel
A kilometre from the inhabited centre of Ostuni and just a few kilometres from the sea lies the "Masseria Salinola" Agritourism Estate, immersed in the green age old olive groves, this old 18th century masseria has been carefully restructured to maintain its original stone architecture. The old masseria, until the last century, was used as a salt deposit for salt shipped to the old port of Villanova from all over the Mediterranean. Over the years the masseria became more and more important until it became the centre of agricultural and social life and a reference point for the local farmers of the area.
The apartments, furnished in country style, can accommodate three to six people. All the apartments have a kitchenette and private bathroom. Inside the grounds of the masseria there is also a little old country church with its cobbled floor, vaulted ceiling and stone alter. It is a long standing tradition, passed down from generation to generation, to celebrate the holy mass in the open during the summer months. For 15 years the Masseria Salinola has specialised in country holidays, the warm welcome from the host family guarantees guests a relaxing holiday in the countryside of Puglia, for those in search of the typical traditional cuisine of Ostuni based on organic produce grown and prepared on the estate. All this and more in a family atmosphere wrapped in the charm of a time gone by in this characteristic old masseria. Also available to guests is a swimming pool with Jacuzzi, a children's playground, bicycles, table tennis, swimming courses, cooking lessons and long country walks. On the Estate you can also buy products such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Wine, fruit and home made bread.

I just started using Retin-A last night. I actually have the generic one, but my dermatologist said it works the same. Today, I don't see any difference, but I wouldn't expect to this quickly. I'm only suppose to apply it every third night at first. It's hard not to rush it. I'm tempted to just start putting it on every other night to see faster results, but I don't want to completely dry out my skin so I'll be patient.
I'm using it to treat both mild acne, and pre-mature aging (don't argue with me, it IS premature, haha!!). I did a little botox around my eyes but am hoping this will help with the horizontal laugh lines, and soften my smile lines.
I should mention the cost I have listed is just my insurance co-pay. I'm not sure what the full price is for the tube.
I'm encouraged by the success other women have written about on here and excited to see the results!!
Update 9/14/11
So I have been using the cream for about a week, no visual results yet. I can feel a difference in my skin the day after I apply it, but that is it. It just feels tight & dry, and its a bit peely (gross!). Hoping to see results soon. :)
Update 10/17/11
I'm finally up to using the cream every night. My skin is breaking out bad - bad, bad! I'm feeling pretty self conscious about it. It is also still super flaky, so it takes me a long time in the morning to prep my skin (get all the yucky flakes off) and do my make-up.
I do notice a decent improvement in my fine lines, but at this point it is not enough to offset the yuckiness of the breakouts and flaky skin. I'm going to give it a while longer and see if my skin adjusts to it. I'm hoping I'm still in the "getting use to it" phase. Guess we will see!
Update 12/12/11
Its been about 3 months & I am really noticing a change in my skin. Dr. Reichel also had me start using a clindamycin lotion in the mornings as the first thing that goes on my face, after I wash it.
My skin is pretty clear right now, and has been for the last 3 weeks or so. I'm definitely happy with the results. I still have my smile lines, and just started to get brave enough to use it on the skin around my eyes. So far the skin around my eyes has been pretty tolerant of it, except one small spot close to my nose has felt like it has a bit of a chemical burn on it, so of course I try to avoid that area when I apply it.
I had cut back to every other night since my skin was being so irritated by the Retin-A before, now I usually put it on 2 nights in a row, then take a break. I just go with however my skin is feeling though, if its feeling a bit irritated I just skip a night. I don't think my results have been as fast or pronounce as some others because of this, but it is what my skin will tolerate.
Looking forward to seeing the results in a few more months. :)
Updated 1/9/12
I had an appointment at Dr. Reichel's office last Friday. I saw her Physician's Asst. I told her that I was using the clindamycin and the Retin-A, but that I still couldn't use the Retin-A every night. She suggested I try Ziana, which is basically a combination of the two. She said the retinoid portion is a less strong version than what I was using so it should be ok for nightly use.
I have only tried it 1 night & so far so good, but of course how much can you really tell after just 1 night. I definitely felt like I was seeing good results from the other combo, so if this doesn't stay the same I'll just go back to the 2 bottles. Part of me is wondering why I am even messing with a good thing - those who have fought with their skin their whole lives know exactly what I mean, when you find something that works you don't mess with it...but here I am, messing with it!
The only thing I noticed about the Ziana is the smell isn't great. Not awful, but certainly not great.
I'll let you know how it goes once I've had some time to evaluate it.
Updated 1/30/12
So I stopped using the Ziana. I didn't even make it through the samples I was given before I decided I didn't like it. It was a tiny bit sticky & like I said before it smelled a little. Beyond that my skin wasn't looking as good as when I was doing the Retin-A and Clindamycin separately. I'm glad I got to try it though & will be interested to hear what others think of it.
The other (kinda funny) thing I was going to mention is how difficult it is to spray tan when you are using Retin-A. Of course it strips the spray tan off you faster, which is fine, but I just recently started using Retin-A on my neck & chest. I originally was only putting it on my face. Now I am going through the whole flaky/pealing phase on my neck & chest. Its fine, because I know it will ease up & I will like it, but over the weekend as the spray tan was coming off my chest looked like it had a giraffe print on it! Haha, definitely not the look I was going for. Needless to say I kept my necklines high. Hopefully I will have all this figured out before summer hits...if not I might just take a little break from Retin-A. Not interested in being the giraffe girl!
Updated 6/8/12
Well it is Summer here in Seattle and with all the warnings about using Sunblock while on Retin-A I have purchase a few different ones, all SPF 50. I tried an Obagi one first. I have to admit I ordered it off Amazon, I didn't buy it at an office. I also have tried a Neutrogena one specifically made for blemish prone skin. I have broken out pretty badly over the last few weeks. I absolutely hate the increase in breakouts, but since I don't want to risk sun damage to my skin I think I'm going to stop using Retin-A over the summer. I really hope I don't regret this choice when the fall comes & I start it back up again. I really like what Retin-A has done for my fine lines and I think it evened out some minor sun damage I had on the bridge of my nose, but these breakouts - yuck!! No way!! Especially heading into summer when I'll want to be able to be barefaced if I go to the beach.
Updated 11/16/12
So some other community members on RealSelf were talking about how they thought the cream form of Retin-A could have been causing them to breakout, and that they had clearer skin after switching to the gel form. I've still been on the fence about whether or not I want to start back up...but the other night I went to Sephora and they stuck a couple of free samples in my bag. When I got home I took out the products I bought and with excitement looked at what kind of sample I had been given...it was a new Acne line from Clinique. Ouch. I know they definitely did not mean it to be rude in the slightest, and well, it is appropriate for me, but still ouch. I reached into the bag again thinking the next sample would be something fun to try...it was a new anti-aging serum. Oh, Lord!!! Talk about pushing me to Retin-A, haha! I have a trip next week, but once I'm back and settled I'll probably jump on the ol' Retin-A bandwagon again.

I haven't really started buying too much clothing yet but I know my aunt bought most of her sons clothing from Baby Gap! But they are semi pricey, so she also got lots of Gymboree and Childrens Place Its also semi pricey, but Janie and Jack's has really nice clothing!! I always buy people outfits from there Oh, and Crazy 8 tends to have some cute things!!

How we will know those who truly need help?
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the recent publications about the funding for our Hilltown Community Resource Center, your most recent article being named "County to lend counseling hand for BKW."
I firmly believe that this funding is a great attribute to our community. As a student that has needed great help, and received it, I think more funding to continue to help is a wonderful thing.
However, a concern that lies with me is being able to distinguish between someone who really needs help and a person who is just saying anything they can to either get a handout or just to make something positive into a negative, maybe both, who knows?
Now, we know as with everything "it's not all rainbows and sunshine"
But it also can't be just a one-end thing; parties on both the giving and receiving end need to work together. If the help is there, it needs to go to those truly in need and those who truly want it. This can't be a system where people say they want/need help but don't do their part to get help, and then talk negatively about such help.
I believe gaining a resource center with extra help is a great thing, but I worry about people abusing the system; our teachers and professionals work hard to help and provide for those in need. But how will they be able to tell if people truly need help or are just trying to be negative? And what system will be provided to make both parties know what is expected of them? Not just assuming and automatically down talking one's credentials or experience.
I think its important we make a system for this extra help to make sure it doesn't happen.

Hello all I try to figure out what make me look so weird. 2 years ago i had an upper eyelid surgery and a nose surgery revision. where i have my surgeon to close my nostril a little bit. but previously i had a lips reduction after that i developed a weak chin a month ago i had a chin implant and a non surgery nose revision for nose asymmetry now i look even worst then before.Should I have another nose job or should I leave it alone before I completely mess up my face.
Chin Implant and Non Surgical Nose Revision - Still Unhappy - Next Option?
Doctor Answers 1
Chin Augmentation and Revision Rhinoplasty
Dear D35, I am not sure what type of non surgery nose revision you had. A profile picture would be very helpful in viewing the chin augmentation as it is difficult to differentiate the before and after with this frontal view. Please feel free to send more photos either to real self or directly to my website link below and I will be happy to offer a further expert opinion. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Review: Retaking The Performance Crownby Ryan Smith on March 22, 2012 9:00 AM EST
Power, Temperature, & Noise
As always, we're wrapping up our look at a new video card's stock performance with a look at power, temperature, and noise. With new process nodes being the lifeblood of the GPU industry, each new process gives GPU manufacturers a chance to move their product along a continuum; do they take advantage of a power consumption reduction for the same performance level, a performance increase for the same power consumption, or something in between? For NVIDIA the answer is a bit of "all of the above", as while the GK104 based GTX 680 is more a direct successor of the GF114 based GTX 560 Ti in terms of how the GPU was built, NVIDIA has increased their power consumption while at the same time decreasing their die size relative to GF114.
|GeForce GTX 680 Voltages
|Ref GTX 680 Base Load
|Ref GTX 680 Boost Load
|Ref GTX 680 Idle
As we noted in our look at GPU Boost, the operating voltage of the GTX 680 depends on the quality of the GPU and the clockspeed it runs at. The higher the clockspeed, the higher the operating voltage, starting from a typical voltage of 1.062v at the base clockspeed of 1006MHz, up to 1.175v at the peak clockspeed of our sample of 1110MHz. Idle voltages are far most consistent however, with the GTX 680 always dropping to 0.987v at idle.
Speaking of idle, let's start there. NVIDIA idle power consumption hasn't significantly changed relative to GTX 560 Ti – not to say that NVIDIA hasn't been working on this factor, but the low-hanging fruit has long been plucked. At 112W at the wall the GTX 680 is actually tied for the lowest power consumption among contemporary cards past and present, but with an estimated 15W idle TDP it's not significantly different from any of those cards.
One interesting point though is that because GK104 is a GF114 derivative rather than a GF110 derivative, the GTX 680 does much better here compared to the GTX 580. We're saving over 20W at the wall thanks to fewer RAM chips, less power regulation circuitry, and like most other things relating to GTX 680, a general increase in efficiency.
One thing NVIDIA specifically hasn't touched though is the so-called "long idle" state where the system is powered up but the monitor is blank. GTX 680 shaves off a watt here versus GTX 560 Ti and 22W versus GTX 580, but without any special technology to further step down, they can't match AMD and their ZeroCore Power technology.
Shifting into load power consumption, our first measurement is from running our Metro 2033 benchmark. The results are roughly where we'd expect them, with the GTX 680 drawing more power than the GTX 560 Ti, but less power than the Radeon HD 7970, and compared to the GTX 580 significantly less power. Things are much closer compared to the 7950 however thanks to its similar 200W PowerTune limit, with the GTX 680 drawing only 9W more at the wall.
Because the performance of the video card here impacts the CPU load by requiring more frames to be prepared, power consumption does go up slightly with performance increases, which means some of the power consumption growth we're seeing here relative to the GTX 560 Ti is a result of that performance gap, but measuring from the wall doesn't let us fully separate it. NVIDIA's power target GPU Boost on Metro 2033 is 170W, the same as the GTX 560 Ti's TDP, but in all likelihood power consumption has jumped up at least 10W, while power consumption compared to the 7950 is probably a wash.
Our other power measurement is our pathological case with OCCT. In this case NVIDIA's lack of a true throttling system continues to be to their disadvantage, as while AMD's cards can cap their power consumption NVIDIA's cards must keep going. In spite of this power consumption relative to the 7970 is still lower by 25W, but it blows past the 7950 by 44W. On the NVIDIA side of things though we can see just how much a smaller die and 28nm improve on matters compared to the GTX 580 – the 118W difference is nothing short of staggering. NVIDIA's big GPUs can capture the performance crown, but they come with a high power cost, which makes taking the crown with the much smaller GK104 all the more important for NVIDIA.
On that note, it's interesting to see that while power consumption runs high compared to AMD's cards, compared to the GTX 560 Ti, power consumption has only ticked up by 4W. This reflects the fact that the GTX 680 is the successor to the GTX 560 Ti's design, which means both cards have similar TDPs, though we would have actually expected the gap between the two to be wider. So in the worst case scenario NVIDA is exceeding our expectations.
Moving past power consumption we have our look at temperatures, one of the two physical attributes that's a derivative of power consumption. Idle temperatures aren't too hard to do well at so long as your idle power consumption is solid and this is indeed the case for the GTX 680. The use of a blower means that NVIDIA can't match the raw efficiency of the GTX 560 Ti, but they actually manage to edge out the Radeon HD 7900 series here. More to the point this continues what has been a long trend with regards to reducing idle temperatures; since the 8800GT the idle temperatures of NVIDIA's top GPUs have dropped from a toasty 50C to 32C.
As for load temperatures, we're once more in a familiar situation regarding NVIDIA and AMD design strategies. AMD's aggressive cooling strategy keeps their 7900 cards in the mid-to-low 70s, while NVIDIA favors slightly higher temperatures for what we'll see translates into less noise. At 78C under Metro NVIDIA is not repeating the common 80C+ temperatures the GTX 570 and GTX 580 reach, which is a reflection of the smaller GPU and smaller manufacturing process. NVIDIA's max operating temperature for the GTX is 98C, so we have a good 20C to play with when it comes to overclocking.
Switching over to OCCT, we suddenly find ourselves in an interesting situation when NVIDIA and AMD become relatively equalized. At 79C both the 7970 and GTX 680 are running at the same temperature, an unexpected situation given the latter's lack of a throttling mechanism for OCCT. Once again it also drives a large gap between the GTX 680 and GTX 580, having reduced temperatures by 9C. And at the same time temperatures are up only 3C compared to the GTX 560 Ti, even with its lower power consumption and open air cooler. However if and when Big Kepler does come, I would expect GTX 580-like temperatures to return.
Last but not least we have our look at noise, which is typically the most important of the 3 physical attributes of a video card. Like idle temps, idle noise is largely a solved problem, which is why all of our results cluster around 40dB. The GTX 680 is 0.5dB quieter than the GTX 580 and 0.3dB louder than the 7970, but at this range the difference is nearly academic as noise from other system components is the biggest contributing factor.
Now how does the GTX 680 fare in load noise? The answer depends on what you want to compare it to. Compared to the GTX 580, the GTX 680 is practically tied – no better and no worse – which reflects NVIDIA's continued use of a conservative cooling strategy that favors noise over temperatures. At the same time, compared to the GTX 560 Ti this is a massive increase in noise, with just shy of a 10dB jump. The difference comes down to a few things, the most important of which is that the GTX 680 has a closed blower instead of the GTX 560 Ti's unusually impressive open air cooler. At the same time as we've seen power consumption is up versus the GTX 560 Ti, so maintaining 42dB wouldn't have been very practical even with another open air cooler.
Finally we have the Radeon comparison, where NVIDIA does quite well. AMD's aggressive cooling strategy combined with the higher power consumption of the 7970 means that the 7970 is on the wrong side of the GTX 680 here, with the GTX 680 generating 3.3dB less noise. So while NVIDIA failed to significantly improve on the GTX 580 they did beat out AMD, which is going to be the more important difference for most buyers. All things considered I'm wondering if NVIDIA still couldn't have done better here, but I think the limiting factor here is that NVIDIA doesn't have a whole ventilation slot to work with.
Last, but not least, we have our look at OCCT noise. Even with a lack of throttling, the smaller range between NVIDIA's typical and max power consumption thanks to GPU Boost – and thereby a smaller range between their typical and max heat generation – has kept both their temperatures and noise in check when moving from Metro to OCCT. NVIDIA has effectively extended their lead here, with a 4.8dB gap between the GTX 680 and the 7970, and an even larger 6.8dB gap between the GTX 680 and the GTX 580. The only real loss here is against the GTX 560 Ti, which like we saw with Metro, is simply well ahead of anything else due to its open air cooler.
Of course NVIDIA has one of the lowest power consuming video cards with a closed blower, which means they are already starting these noise tests with a favorable position. The only contemporary blower to best the GTX 580 is the 7870, and even that is only by 0.6dB.
Wrapping things up here, all things considered NVIDIA does seem to have a good job reaching balance with temperature and noise here. Their lower power consumption keeps them more than competitive with the Radeon HD 7900 series and GTX 570/580 right off the bat, and combined with their balanced cooler we're seeing temperatures that are not too hot, and noise levels that are not too loud. There's no doubt someone is going to try to best the reference GTX 680 in the future with a dual fan open air cooler though, so it will be interesting to see if it will be possible to improve on the GTX 680 by giving up direct cooling efficiency for lower noise levels.

CeriseCogburn - Friday, April 06, 2012 - linkYes Nvidia clocked the ram over 6Ghz because their ram controller is so rockin'.
In any case, the 7970 is now being overclocked, both are to 7000Ghz ram.
Unfortunately the 7970 still winds up behind most of the time, even in 2650X1200 screen triple gaming. Reply

Reference HD 7970 -133 and XFX HD 7970 -145 . In this review Reference HD 7970 -115.5
What has changed in between these reviews. Is it that performance has actually decreased with the latest drivers Reply
oddnutz - Thursday, April 12, 2012 - linkwell i have been an ATI fanboi forever. So I am due a gfx upgrade which would of already happened if ATI priced their latest cards similar to previous generations. I will watch ATI prices over the next few weeks but it looks like i might be turning green soon. Reply
blanarahul - Friday, April 13, 2012 - linkActually the GTX 680 REFERENCE BOARD was designed for 375 Watts of power.
It has a total of 2 6-pin and one 8-pin connector on the board! I realized this after seeing the back of the board. Reply
Commander Bubble - Thursday, April 19, 2012 - linkI agree with some of the sensible posts littered in here that Witcher 2 should be included as a comparison point, and most notably the ubersampling setup.
i run 2x 580GTX SLI @1920 and i can't manage a minimum 60fps with that turned on. That would be a good test for current cards as it absoultely hammers them.
also, i don't know whether CeriseCogburn is right or wrong, and i don't care, but i'm just sick of seeing his name in the comment list. go outside and meet people, do something else. you are clearly spending way too much time on here... Reply

Oxford Guy - Thursday, July 05, 2012 - link"At the end of the day NVIDIA already had a strong architecture in Fermi, so with Kepler they've gone and done the most logical thing to improve their performance: they've simply doubled Fermi."
Fermi Lite, you mean.
"Now how does the GTX 680 fare in load noise? The answer depends on what you want to compare it to. Compared to the GTX 580, the GTX 680 is practically tied – no better and no worse – which reflects NVIDIA's continued use of a conservative cooling strategy that favors noise over temperatures."
No, the 680's cooling performance is inferior because it doesn't use a vapor chamber. Nvidia skimped on the cooling to save money, it seems. Reply

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello I'm a Master Tech. and I can help. Please continue our chat and refrain from rating until satisfied. I'd like to do some Q&A first if that's ok.
Are you saying you never noticed the engine knocking as the garage is telling you? Why was it taken to the garage in the first place? If you have rods knocking you would certainly know it. It sounds sort of like knocking on wood. Have you heard any sound like this?
i noticed an ovious noise 2 days before taking to the garage but after topping up oil noise has gone the noise happened 5days ago
Was it a ticking/tapping type of noise or a loud knocking noise? I know noises can be hard to describe.
a loud noise possibly knocking
How low was your oil, how much did you have to add to top it off?
oil was dry
Like no oil on the dipstick? Do you kno whow much oil was added?
garage topped 2 litres
Ok. Here is my take on the matter. If you had a rod knocking, it would continue to knock and would not go away regardless of the oild level. If your noise is gone since topping th oil off then I suspect you had some type of mechanical noise in the valve train etc from the lack of hydraulic pressure to key parts of the motor. If it is not making noise now that the oil is full then I would continue to keep an eye on your oil level to make sure it stays full and keep driving the car. There is no sense in tearing the motor down or buying a new car if it is running without noise now.That's not to say that there hasn't been internal damage/premature wear due to running low on oil but only time will tell. If you keep it full of oil and the noise does not return then I would get the most I could out of the car without spending big money to have the engine removed for internal inspection. As long as it is running noise free then I would let it be. Just keep the oil full and if it starts making noise again then you may want to consider your options.
it is making a genral old car engine noise but running ok but that was the same as before
If it sounds like it always has then I wouldn't wory yourself too much. How long did you run it with the new noise on low oil?
1 day
I wouldn't worry too much then. If you had driven on it for a week like this then there may be cause for concern.
ok thanks for your help its good to know there is alternetive advise out there

A Very Much Alive Jon Bon Jovi Spotted Shopping In St. Barts [PHOTOS]
Rocker Jon Bon Jovi was the victim of a very rabid death hoax earlier this week. Even before the singer offered up a photo as evidence that he was very much alive and ready to appear at a charity concert in Red Bank, it was pretty obvious a blogged announcement of his death was fake.
By Tuesday night, Bon Jovi was among the top three searches on Google. Bon Jovi, 49, posted a picture of himself on Facebook, to prove that he hadn't gone to the great New Jersey in the sky, saying, "Heaven looks a lot like New Jersey."
Further proof of his good health are these photos of Jon which were snapped yesterday (December 22) by the paparazzi while Jon was on vacation with friends in St. Barts.

It was brought to my attention that we don't have anything on the forum describing boost control, how wastegates work, and how to "turn up" the boost. If someone searches for this info, they shouldn't come up blank anymore. Also, there are tons and tons of myths when it comes to boost control especially comparing manual to electronic. I want to shed some light on those as well. I wrote a lot of this during a debate on a BMW forum and copied it over so it might not flow as well as I'm used to. I'll work on it.
How common wastegate actuators work.
Here is an external wastegate for reference.
Internal wastegates have external actuators, so there's nothing fundamentally different about them that makes one different from the other when it comes down to the actuator. Internal wastgate actuators have the same diaphragm/piston/spring layout that external wastegates do.
The major difference being, very few internal wastegate actuators you're going to run into will be serviceable, meaning the spring can not be changed. External wastegates by-and-large have a serviceable design. This means you can open it with common tools, and change the spring inside if you'd like. This spring is what holds the wastegate closed during operation. You have to fight against this spring with positive air pressure from the "compressor reference port" to get the wastegate to open. When the wastegate opens, exhaust gases bypass the turbine and boost is limited. Simple enough.
Typical internal wastegates do not even have a "boost controller port" and this port is usually left open (to atmospheric) on external wastegates. It is commonly used with electronic boost controller setups, but I'll get to that later.
The wastegate spring.
This spring comes in different flavors. Most factory wastegates are internal, with their springs set anywhere from 6-12 psi. Some, like the newer Mitsubishi Evolutions have 14.5 psi or higher springs (very high for a factory car). In turbo Porsche cars, they tend to use external wastegates, again with the springs ranging from 6-12 psi depending on year and model.
Simplifying things a little bit, the lowest amount of psi you can run depends on the wastegate spring. If it takes 6 psi to compress the spring, you can't make less boost than that because you're going to be using the pressure from the manifold to work against the spring. As you start to make 6 psi to the manifold (and the engine) your wastegate actuator will see 6 psi, and start to open the wastegate (it happens earlier than this, but don't worry about that). Now that the wastegate is open, some exhaust gases are "wasted" and not used to spin the turbo. This limits boost pressure to the amount dictated by the spring (provided you have enough flow in your wastegate system).
Controlling boost with the wastegate spring.
One, expensive, complicated, limiting way of raising the amount of pressure the turbo outputs involves swapping the low pressure spring in an external wastegate to a higher pressure spring. This gets expensive and time consuming if you're looking to move from low pressure to high pressure in stages as most tuners like to tune in stages. Once the high pressure spring is in, there's no simple/quick way to run lower boost pressure either (valet mode, etc).
All in all, it's a pain in my opinion, and most people don't do it this way. They get the lowest pressure spring they can (to allow for low boost) or they just work with what ever comes with the wastegate.
Traditional boost control theory.
Here's where the other methods of boost control come in. You can fool the wastegate actuator into opening at higher air pressures than the spring is designed for by controlling the pressure signal the actuator sees (connected to the "compressor reference port"). This can be done many different ways regardless of internal/external design. There are three main ways of doing this.
Bleed method.
Firstly, you can "bleed" off some of the signal to the wastegate with a controlled leak in the pressure line going to the actuator. This method is simple and marginally effective and usually overlooked as the next example is better and no harder to implement. The bleed can even be an adjustable valve that is controlled inside the cabin. "Dial-a-boost" they like to call it. This is one method of manual boost control. Many say manual boost controllers cannot be controlled from inside the cabin, which is untrue. This method can be employed typically for $15.
Traditional manual boost controller.
The next method involves a one-way ball-and-spring check valve. This is what is typically referred to as a "manual boost controller". This is placed in the signal line. The device has an adjustable spring inside which takes over the job of the original actuator spring. Set the pre-load on the spring to what ever psi you'd like and the wastegate actuator won't see any pressure until that level is reached. This method is simple, cheap, and marginally configurable (adjustment can also be routed into the cabin for control from inside the car). Even set at the same psi as the original wastegate spring, this method gives quicker spool than normal, as it doesn't allow the wastegate to "creep" open before the desired boost level is met, causing full boost to come on quite a bit sooner.
Many people believe this method is flawed or unreliable, causing dreaded boost spikes and the like. While I don't doubt others have experienced this, I know with a properly set-up turbo system, there should be no problems. I've never experienced boost spikes on the 6+ turbo systems I've helped with or friend's of mine have, all using this method. My experience ranges from tiny, internally wastegated Mitsubishi turbos to large gt35 turbos, all on 2.7 liter or smaller engines.
This method can be employed typically for $25 if you build your own, buy an inexpensive unit, or around $80 if you buy a fancy (but no better functioning) one.
Traditional electronic boost control.
The third main method involves controlling the pressure signal to the wastegate with an electronic valve, controlled by an electronic controller of some type. This typically gives complete control over the operation of the valve and thus the wastegate actuation, but requires a bit of set-up time and quite higher start-up cost as the electronically activated valve runs about $50 and the controller itself can range from $150?-$600 or so. Engine control units typically have this control functionality built in, making this cost a non-issue for some.
With this method, you can control how quickly, or how slowly boost comes on. Allowing for boost to build progressively through the rev range if desired, and allows for the control over the maximum boost depending on what gear you're in (if your controller has that functionality). There is no limit to what you can do with this set-up, paired with a good controller (except you can't run less boost than what your wastegate actuator spring will allow). However, most find this method overkill, or unneeded for their goals.
Hybrid boost control.
Finally, you can mix and match any and all of the manual/eletric control methods to create your own home-brew system that provides a startlingly high amount of control.
If you'd like to see great, configurable examples of what can be done with manual boost control, I'd recommend these terrific articles by the late Gus Mahon:

Welcome to Oriental Henna Designs and Temporary Body Art
Beautiful henna designs and temporary tattoos for all occasions
Henna is a plant which when dried, grinded and mixed with water leaves a deep brownish red staining on the skin. It has been a wedding tradition in Pakistan. India, Morroco, Egypt and the Middle East that brides adorn their bodies with henna designs. It is a symbol of happiness and festivity. Unlike traditional tattoos henna leaves a temporary stain and its application is 100% painless. It is just like decorating your body with cold chocolate paste. It is very soothing and in countries with hot climatic conditions, henna paste is applied to palms, soles and head to cool down the body. In a more modern and global scenario henna has taken an art revival. Henna is now a temporary beautification without the cost of committment to a permanent tattoo. It is now a part of the party scene and more and more people are getting interested in this form of art.
Temporary Tattoos
Temporary tattoos are a great way to adorn your body with lovely designs without the cost of real tattoos; in terms of physical pain and money. If you considering to get a real tattoo you can bring in your selected designs, wear them for up to a five days and develop a feeling about your permanent tattoos.

Advanced Energy Performance: A New Paradigm for a Changing Real Estate Market
From asset managers to corporate officers, the Advanced Energy Performance certificate program, offered by the Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute of Baruch College, CUNY, is designed to meet the continuing education needs of real estate professionals responsible for capital budgeting decisions. By marrying the disciplines of energy efficiency retrofits and real estate strategy, this first-of-its-kind professional program shifts the decision-making paradigm from boiler rooms to boardrooms and takes energy performance from practical to profitable.
Though overrun by aging building stock, underperforming assets and economic uncertainty, the commercial real estate sector contains opportunities for hidden value. Filling a gap in asset management education, AEP teaches real estate professionals to strategically view portfolio assets through the energy lens to unleash profitability by leveraging building upgrades and sustainability strategies.
The AEP program utilizes a flexible online learning environment to meet the schedules of busy real estate executives. The Newman Real Estate Institute and BP Lab's established industry focus ensures a professional learning environment in an academically rigorous and collaborative setting, and access to a team of experienced real estate educators and industry experts.
Meeting the new educational needs of asset managers, AEP's core courses cover:
- Technology
- Portfolio strategy
- Finance
- Organizational, property and project management
- Legal & regulatory awareness
- Energy asset management
The AEP certificate signifies mastery of the knowledge and skillsets needed to unlock the keys to valuation, competitiveness, and socially conscious viability for long-term success in today's rapidly evolving real estate market.
Putting Energy Decision-Making in the Hands of Decision-Makers
When asked to identify decision-makers for energy efficiency projects, the majority of real estate organizations point to engineering technicians and operations staff. By applying real estate strategy and financial analysis to the decision-making process, AEP creates a new paradigm that elevates critical capital decisions from the boiler room to the boardroom and empowers asset managers to unlock portfolio potential through strategic energy efficiency retrofits.
We call this new paradigm Energy Asset Management, and define it as: Increasing commercial property energy efficiency for the benefit of the real estate industry.

|This route has a name, Ground Effect. Not sure who first led it, but will do my best to find out. It's a stout lead at 5.10+, but the pro is there (I've led it and know several others who have). There is only one loose rock on the route, which someone has plastered with a large X. It is lodged, will bear weight, and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. A beautiful route.

BLACKBURN Rovers are all square after a first half of few chances at Nottingham Forest tonight.
Rovers have lined up in a 3-5-1-1 formation - with Scott Dann, Grant Hanley and Gael Givet all playing as centre backs - and Nuno Gomes saw an early shot saved by Lee Camp after collecting a lay-off from Jordan Rhodes.
Paul Robinson then had to be alert just before half time to keep out a deflected effort from Lewis McGugan at the other end.

An man who set fire to a store room at Crawley Hospital last year and stole £263 from a till in the hospital restaurant has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
Thomas Ashcroft, 35, of no fixed abode, was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court today (Wednesday January 23) after pleading guilty to three counts of burglary and three counts of arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered.
The charges related to fires started at the Medway Maritime Hospital, on August 29; the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, on August 30; and the Hilton Hotel, in Sheffield, on July 15.
He asked for eight other matters – including the fire at Crawley Hospital on August 28 and a fire at the Hilton Hotel, in Gatwick Airport's South Terminal on August 27 – to be taken into consideration.
Speaking after the sentencing, Detective Inspector Lee Whitehead from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "Ashcroft put the lives of hundreds of people in danger to steal money to finance his drug habit.
"His actions were not only criminal, but entirely selfish and it has cost thousands of pounds to rectify the damage he has caused."

NEW RUSSIA TWP. — A Firelands teacher and a township man were in critical condition Tuesday night after their vehicles collided head-on on Russia Road.
Donald Kneisel was just a quarter-mile from his Russia Road home Tuesday when westbound driver Aidan McNulty said Kneisel tried to pass him in the eastbound lane of Russia Road.
Kneisel's Chevrolet Silverado pickup crashed into the eastbound Toyota Camry driven by James Muth, of Elyria, who is a teacher at Firelands High School. Both men were in critical condition at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland this morning.
"I heard the two cars collide and then I saw them going off the road," McNulty said of the crash, which remains under investigation by the state Highway Patrol. "Nobody really had the chance to put their brakes on."
McNulty, 19, said Kneisel didn't appear to be speeding or driving erratically prior to the crash, which occurred around 3:10 p.m. in heavy rain about a half-mile west of Oberlin Road near state Route 58.
"It just looked more like an honest accident to me," McNulty said.
The Camry spun and ended up in a front yard at 45447 Russia Road. The Silverado stopped about 50 yards west of the Camry in a front yard two doors down at 45509 Russia Road. Kneisel, 79, lives in the 48000 block of Russia Road.
Both vehicles sustained heavy front-end damage. McNulty said he called 911 and then tried to talk to the victims. He said both drivers were conscious but didn't speak.
A bloody Muth was removed from his car by Oberlin and South Amherst firefighters around 3:25 p.m. and Kneisel was removed from his vehicle at 3:30 p.m.
"You guys ready?" a firefighter asked fellow firefighters as they prepared to lift the gurney carrying Kneisel from the Silverado to an ambulance. "One, two, three!"
Kneisel is a retired mason for a concrete company and husband and father of several children, according to his nephew, Brian Kneisel.
"He's very likeable," Brian Kneisel said in a phone interview.
Muth, 39, of the 1800 block of South Abbe Road in Elyria, teaches history at Firelands High School in Oberlin. About 15 people posted supportive messages on Muth's Facebook page Tuesday night including former students who praised his teaching skills.
"You were so relaxed in front of us all and able to make all of us laugh from the nicknames you gave out to the funny stories you encountered over the weekend," wrote Alexis Perez. "Please get better."
Elizabeth Bilby, who graduated from Firelands last year, said in a phone interview that Muth previously coached volleyball but quit last year to spend more time with his wife and children. Bilby, who played volleyball for Muth, said Muth is the public address announcer for Firelands football games.
Bilby said Muth fires up fans with his enthusiasm the way he energizes students in the classroom.
"He's a really good teacher," she said. "Everyone's learned a lot from him."

There's not much to say about the irreverent quiz show party game from Jellyvision (& THQ). It's a trivia game, that's also funny, and it has about 20 years of history behind it. I'm mainly making this Catch-All so we know who to find for multiplayer, and to keep an eye out for DLC. It released today, 8 Feb, on all platforms (to include Steam, but I recommend you go console with this one).
Oh, and for the diehard YDKJ fans, the original Cookie is back!
Evil Avatar interview with Jellyvision
Yes, there is Big Button Controller support for Xbox 360 (that'd be the Scene It? controller), but not the Buzz! controllers.
Jack is billed as "the irreverent trivia party game," and it certainly is. Proudly sophomoric at times and certainly snarky, Jack is also quite witty. If it were a film, it would push the limits of the PG-13 classification without straying into R territory. It has no explicit profanity, but the puns, double entendres and clever wordplay are often far more risqué than we can share here.
You Don't Know Jack is proof that games don't need to be excessively complex in order to be fun.
I still have my original CD version of this game (actually it's YDJK XL), but if this comes with new questions then I am so sold. I will have to check the demo first, see if the announcer is still as funny as he was back then.
The second I finished watching Giant Bomb's Quick Look of this, I pre-ordered it right away. This is just You Don't Know Jack on modern systems. I'm so in for multiplayer!
Mentioned it in the front-page Week Ahead article, but if anyone wants in on some 360 online multiplayer, my gamer-tag is DJ Dostoevsky.
My copy should be arriving by Thurs./Fri.
Zaba-dooba-deben Question Sevennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
I will have to check the demo first, see if the announcer is still as funny as he was back then.
The MC for this version is none other than Cookie Masterson (Tom Gottlieb), widely considered the best host of the franchise.
Man, I missed a ton of updates for this. Looks like it's time to get back in.

Oh ha, now I get what you meant by "the original Cookie".
Damn this would be great on the ipad... I'll fire up my xbox to check it out.
Does this support mixed online/local multiplayer or is it one or the other? I'd enjoy playing this with my wife but it is unlikely we'd get two others at the same time. Most of my friends will not pick up a controller to save their lives. It definitely seems like a "the more the merrier" situation.
^^^ I get what you're saying about friends being non-gamers as most of mine are too. But the beauty of titles like YDKJ is that all they really need to wrap their heads around are the four face buttons on the controller, which are matching color-coded for the game anyway.
Not sure about online-offline mixed play, though.
I loved it when it first came out, for $29 this one's a no-brainer (and I have the scene-it controllers.. woot)
No keyboard support obviously, but I sure am gonna miss typing expletives in the Gibberish Question category.
I went ahead and picked this up for the Xbox. It's affordable enough to be worth the chance. Friend me up!
I am waiting to hear your impressions, but am probably going to pick this up after work on Friday.
I am enjoying the game. Good humor.
Played 2 rounds. Just a funny as ever.
It's a hoot. I have all of the previous versions except for Playstation and this is right up there with the best of them. Let's play a game together someone!
I've only played one round but I'll agree with everyone else here. My wife was in a lousy mood last night but after some cajoling I managed to convince her to play. By question 3 she was grinning and laughing.
If you want to play online sometime shoot me a friend invite, I've been doing my gaming on the Xbox more often than not lately (shiny new toy and all that) so you'll probably catch me online.
Edit: also the achievements are hilarious - "Turncoat: Play on the fourth of July instead of celebrating America." ... "Consolation Achievement: Play 5 hours without getting a single achievement."
Works great with the Scene It! controllers
I looked through the options last night and it did not appear you could mix online and local players.
I concur. That's a bit of a bummer, though it was still surprisingly fun for 2 people.
Ran out and got it completely out of my entertainment watching the giant bomb guys play it.....played 5 "episodes" (wherein I won 4!) with my 3 roommates and we all had a blast! We especially enjoy NEVER choosing our own names to see what they come up with. So far my favorite has been "Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Army" (but pronounced as Amy?).
My wife and I played 6 episodes last night. It's SO GOOD!! Jellyvision has not lost their touch at all.
And damn, I forgot how convoluted some of those questions can be.
Edit: As for mixing local and online players... can you create a regular party with 2 local profiles and 2 online players, then start up an "online" game of YDKJ?
Works great with the Scene It! controllers
On the Xbox I thought you used the shoulder buttons or triggers to Screw people; how do you do this with the Big Button Controller?
Inquiring minds want to know, so they can put the Big Button Controllers to use again.
PC version is borked. GAH!
I am also loving this game. My wife and I play a few games every once in a while. Making it last. I'm always up for some GWJ YDKJ though.
Yeah, I can't play it on my PC (my only option), since apparently it doesn't play well with Win7 64-bit. Boooooooo.

OMAHA, Neb. — ConAgra Foods is expanding its facility in Russellville, Ark. to make Bertolli brand and P.F. Chang's brand frozen meals. The expansion, anticipated to be a $100 million investment, is expected to create more than 80 jobs.

Take care of your IT guy...
So I'm checking the forum while I'm on hold at work and suddenly it goes down, saying the website has been blocked. I'm POed so I head downstairs and ask the IT guy if they are blocking sites, he said yes but gives me a wink and tells me to type the website I want into a box. I do so and 3 minutes later I'm back!
All I do is treat him like a person with respect and shoot the breeze with him once in awhile about things other then work. You know, hobbies, his family, etc...Now I need to get him to unblock the auction sites so I can keep my eyes open for a new pistol for my wife. The management here is very anti gun, anti weapon of any sort for that matter.
I carry a pocket knife and got it out one time at my desk to cut an apple and was asked why I had that. I told them to cut fruit like I was doing and they let it slide but I pay more attention to who is around when I do it now. A pocket knife just has so many uses, I never leave home without at least one!
Yes you must bring offering of caffeine to IT GUY.
If you want you can send your offering to
Anthony Burns Elementary School
C/O Brett "CPTTango30" Young
60 Gallery Rd
Stafford, VA 22554
Be nice to IT guy+others.
My IT guy at work is nice enough to not block gun sites, Hell He even wants to hire my Son, who is a year out of college, with a degree in Informatics. I'm also NICE to my General Manager-I load .357's for him for his Marlin lever, and S&W Model 27.:D:):D
I wish anyone here was even remotly supportive of firearms, the 2A, or military, all of which I'm a strong supporter of. I found out they don't pay reservists for their time away from work while on duty. My old company at least made sure I made equal to what I made with them.
That sucks about your work, Spittinfire. Everyone at the machine shop I work at is a hunter, firearms enthusiast, and/or concealed carry holder. It's nice seeing them bring in their new toys every month.:D
I bought a Mossberg 500 from my foreman, and wanted to replace the stock stock (see what I did there?) with a pistol grip shoulder stock. So I just waited until lunch time, and started working on old Betsy right there at the lunch table.:cool: The owner walked by, said hi, and just went about his business.:)
Must be nice...they tried to block all websites that are in any way related to any weapon but he took it off. I just found out today that he's looking into an XD and I just happen to be an XD fan! Maybe I have one guy in my corner...
I work in IT here, but I'm a mainframe programmer - no control over the network. We do have a 'no personal use' policy, but y'all know a guy HAS to surf now and then. My shooting&reloading buddy is down in the basement, on the Network team. He gives me the heads-up when management is hooking up The Box - a gadget that sniffs the net for illicit usage. He has a laptop hooked up to bypass the Sniffer and other protections. So if I need to check something quick, I can have him do it.
Luckily The Box was temporary, on loan for testing, but provd too expensive to keep with the current budget cruch.
I also revamped an old billing program that hadn't been properly updated in years. Saved the department $2400 a MONTH in overcharges. The Department Head likes me now. :D
Our IT is pretty tight, but this site is not blocked, but the banners are. It is less about one or two IT guys/gals here. It's corporate, but now that I have changed area's I find there are different levels of control. I cannot go to anything that streams... pretty much... but some of my new area co-workers can go to YouTube and music sites. I'm jealous, ;) but then again, I've got work to do!
sounds like a cubical enviornment, and like they have some fear of disgruntal employees going around and pricking people with pocket knives.
I work for the feds. I fear they are not blocking me just building a case :(
