Replacement CPU heatsink fans for Mac Pro 2009
I'm wondering if anybody know where to pick up replacements for the fans that are inside the CPU heatsinks on a 2009 Mac Pro? and any of the other fans.
Thinking of keeping my machine for a while longer and would like some replacements. Apple don't seem to want to sell the fans unless you book the machine in. I would rather not do this for something I could do easily at home. I'm from the u.k but don't mind ordering from abroad. Any suggestions on a supplier? |

intergrated cpu fan
I believe the fan(s) are part of the heatsink, at least according to my service manual apple does not even list a part number for fan enclosed in it, and the explosion views and take apart only show part numbers for the heatsink itself, and all the other fans that are easily replaceable.
whether or not you can easily remove it is a mystery to me, I just had it apart to upgrade my cpu and didn't even think to look and see how it was mounted inside. |

I've got a 2006 Mac Pro and all the fans are going strong, so don't be expecting to replace them that soon.
You may however want to check the state of the heat sinks at some point. After nearly six years mine looked like this. I found this when upgrading the CPUs form dual cores to Quad cores. Incidentally, if you have an 8800GT or similar graphics card its important you keep the heat sink clean on it as they've been known to fail when they over heat.

Discussion on The belts within the Boba Fett Armor forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; Now we can take a look at the belt. They
No offense once again but Evolution has been putting out alot of junk ripping people off lately...you may have gotten lucky. The products are NOT accurate either. You may want to start reading more here before telling everyone whats accurate and good to use. None of these parts are accurate for Boba at all
I will echo what Fett 4 Real said. Evolution Props items are far from accurate, so research is definately advised. Boba also didn't have a thermal detonator on any of the costumes.
I am really sorry!

The Columbia Hospitality Association concerned about proposed tax
The Columbia Hospitality Association says it's concerned with a proposed lodging tax increase. The tax, which would increase current lodging taxes by three to seven percent, would help fund improvements to the terminal at Columbia Regional Airport. President of CHA, Heather Hargrove says that bearing the burden of restructuring or building a new airport terminal is not fair to other industries, the lodging industry in particular.
Hargrove said it's wrong to think that this tax would not affect the people of Columbia.
"It does affect those that live in Columbia, despite what you hear about it being a tax that's just paid by outsiders, those coming to visit our town. That is not the case," Hargrove said.
She says the C.H.A. would support a one percent tax increase, but funding through the Federal Aviation Administration would be ideal.

CPS Announces $185 Million Senior Subordinate Asset-Backed Securitization
IRVINE, Calif., March 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:CPSS) ("CPS" or the "Company") today announced the closing of its first term securitization of 2013. The transaction is CPS's eighth senior subordinate securitization since 2011.
In the transaction, qualified institutional buyers purchased $185,000,000 of asset-backed notes secured by automobile receivables purchased by CPS. The sold notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2013-A, consist of five classes. Ratings of the notes were provided by Standard & Poor's and Moody's and were based on the structure of the transaction, the historical performance of similar receivables and CPS's experience as a servicer.
Note Class | Amount | Interest Rate | Average Life | Price | Standard & Poor's Rating | Moody's Rating |
A | $142.0 million | 1.31% | 1.78 years | 99.98709% | AA- | A1 |
B | $16.7 million | 1.89% | 2.06 years | 99.99298% | A | A2 |
C | $11.1 million | 2.79% | 2.80 years | 99.98747% | BBB | Baa2 |
D | $9.2 million | 4.41% | 2.45 years | 99.98130% | BB | Ba2 |
E | $6.0 million | 6.41% | 2.04 years | 99.99319% | B+ | B2 |
The weighted average effective interest rate on the notes is approximately 1.87%.
The 2013-A transaction has initial credit enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the original receivable pool balance. The final enhancement level requires accelerated payment of principal on the notes to reach overcollateralization of 11.50% of the then-outstanding receivable pool balance.Select the service that is right for you!

Ice Storm Outages
Updated: Wednesday, February 27 2013, 07:18 AM EST
Severe winter weather slammed the mountains Tuesday with a combination of rain and wind turning to heavy ice. That mix coated trees and power lines and caused thousands of area homes to lose electricity.
Power crews worked to reattach utility lines that had been pulled down by the sheer weight of ice or trees toppled by gusty winds.
Power crews are still out trying to get all the service restored.

It has been a number of years since I've been able to attend LinuxFest Northwest, the grandaddy of the LinuxFests. It seems the further I am from it, the more likely I will be to attend. The first I attended I was living in Calgary, but despite later moving to Vancouver which is just a hop-skip-jump over the border I always seemed to have schedule conflicts. Well, now I'm living in Europe and I will be there this weekend .. well .. sort of .. for certain definitions of "there".
On Saturday, Carl Symons and John Blandford will be hosting a two hour session about Plasma Active, Mer and Vivaldi. I will be attending remotely via video conferencing to speak about what we're trying to accomplish with all of this and where we are headed. There will be a hands-on demo at the event and we will be joined by other Plasma Active people as well as people from Mer.
After an hour or so of presentations, we'll finish with an open discussion where people can ask questions, provide feedback, etc.
There will also be a Vivaldi coupon raffled off as a give-away at the event, so one lucky person will get a free tablet!
I'm looking forward to Saturday and to seeing who attends. If it is like the last LFNW I was at, it will be a great crowd and a lot of fun. See you there! :)

Edy Boone: A life spent inspiring others captured on film
If you have lived in Berkeley for a while, you have probably crossed paths with Edythe Boone. A spry 74-year old with a quick laugh, Boone has worked as a counsellor and as a health activist, and taught art at several local schools, including currently at Berkwood Hedge and West Oakland Middle School. With her warm personality, she imbues the very young, as well as the very old, with the spirit of creativity. She also transforms lives.
The results of her work can be seen on our cities' walls. She collaborated on the "Let a Thousand Parks Bloom" mural at People's Park, and, in conjunction with Berkeley's Youth Spirit Artworks, the "Music on our Minds" mural at the corner of Ellis and Alcatraz. She also worked on the well-known "Maestrapeace" which graces the façade of the San Francisco Women's Building, and on the "We Remember" AIDS mural in San Francisco's Balmy Alley. … Continue reading »

100%I have had 2 knee replacements, and a hip replacement and find I can now enjoy a BATH because I can now get in and out of the tub. I have not been able to do so for many years and have had to shower only.I sit on the chair and it lowers me into the tub and when I am ready, I push a button and the chair brings me out of the tub to the edge, I can then easily slid right off of the chair and stand. It feels so good to be able to soak in a bubble bath and just "Veg-out".

100%Amazing Product, Amazing Service!Last year about this time I purchased a Bella Vita bathtub lift for my parents. The lift is amazing and they have thoroughly enjoyed being able to bathe again, however, it broke. I called and got Josh, who promptly reported it to Drive Medical. Drive Medical contacted me the following day and within a few days, I had the replacement part. A couple days later, Josh called to make sure that Drive had contacted me, and assured me that I could probably change the back of the unit myself without having to resort to a repair person. Josh was right, the lift is fixed. Then I called Damien to see if I needed to return the old parts. Damien was so polite and looked up my file, then let me know I could discard the parts.
These two young men are a credit to your company. I am impressed with the customer service that Active Forever provides, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for medical equipment. Additionally, I am impressed that Drive stands by their product with prompt replacement. You can be pleased with your vendor, but most of all with Josh and Damien. I commend them, and your company for hiring them.

i'm loading an external SWF into main AIR app. all seems working correctly but there are some problems on the SWF content. Look at this images:
I see that square that i don't understand what is (number 1) and the blur has too strength (number 2). If i use a non-modal popup for the cashier there is no square..
Look at this other image..
The timer (number 1) is a loaded SWF but its color is totally wrong.. it should be a light green and not so dark..
In the point 2 instead you can see that shadow that i don't understand where came from..
Any tip?
I'm suspecting that there is something that can broke the graphic, but i have no many css and almost all are fonts related. And if i load the timer swf into my main application it is loaded correctly.. while if it is loaded by application loaded in the opened window it is like the screenshot..
The game itself is working correctly without any other problem

There a number of ways to get listed in DMOZ. The set it and forget it method that a handful of public editors have been repeating for over a decade in public forums does not work, for obvious reasons.
Fact: DMOZ is, unfortunately, still a very economical and easy way to throw your site a large number of free backlinks. It isn't the only way, for sure, however compensating for not being listed to compete with a competitor just means you have to work that much harder.
It is therefore in your best interests to get listed.
DMOZ "may" have corrupt editors. I know they probably did in the past, but now it is primarily a clique. You have a set number of them that frequent 'their support forum', and have for a large number of years, spouting the same gibberish that they do in here: don't ask about your site, we are volunteers so please cry for us, once you submit it that's the best you can do, etc.
All of that is hogwash.
Method one:Guilt an editor
If you are lucky enough to have access to an editor of your category, take the time to check the category in question and edit it for them. Send them a list of sites that are no longer up, mainly, and maybe ones with redirects to different URLs. Do that, and in a calculated manner include at the bottom of your email something diplomatic mentioning your site. Basically, you're guilting them into it.
Success? 20%
Well, times have changed now and you can't reach most editors, and even if you do, they tend to not care or are rude so this method is more risky. Another problem is you may send it, but they won't receive it because they are no longer active or their email no longer works.
Caveat? You have divulged that a domain you have wants to be listed in DMOZ. You can never, ever list it from that point forward if it gets blacklisted, which they do on a whim.
Method two: Fake an editor account
I can't get too much into this, but overall don't listen to anything they say - don't divulge the sites you are associated with, for sure, which is one thing they repeatedly suggest. If you use a proxy service to sign up with a new browser (use firefox or chrome or ie, whichever one you don't regularly use) there is no way for them to track you. Suggest sites in the category, make up a totally new personality, and you'll probably get approved.
Success? 70%
The main advantage of this method is you can do it over and over and eventually you'll succeed, it's just a matter of tenacity. Of course they approve editors at the same pace that they approve sites, meaning at their whim, so you may be waiting a long time before you get approved.
Caveat? None, really. Nothing they can do about it as long as you don't include your domain in the 3 site suggestions they ask for.
Method three: Pay
Now, this is one area I don't have experience with because I've not had the luck of finding an editor that is reasonable enough to let me pay them for their time. However, I have serious issues with it.
Firstly, editors are encouraged to blacklist any sites, owners, even whole IP ranges that attempt to circumvent their clogged system. If you pay someone and they know what domain you want in there, it is very possible they will blacklist not only the domain but every domain on the IP. Once this is done, there is nothing you can do about it.
Secondly, if you pay one of these guys to put it in, it can be removed for any reason, at any time, including a day later, and there is absolutely no accountability. A higher up editor can do this on a whim, a competitor who has access can do it, and you have no recourse. You cannot ask them about specific sites in any avenue UNLESS you are complaining about abuse which helps you notatall.
Success? N/A
Caveat? No guarantee at all, your domain is now noticed, possibility of blacklisting much higher.
Some tidbits about DMOZ.
- Once you become an editor, you can check any domain you want to see if it is in queue, if it has been blacklisted, and any notes attached to it. You can be an editor of any category to do this to any domain.
- You will also have access to their forums, which provides you a glimpse of the way their hierarchy works. Very easily can your editor account be shut down or investigated, just on a whim, so it is advisable to lay low once you do become one.
- Assume they track IPs on just about everything, and can blacklist any of them. This includes the IP you submit your application on, the IP of your domain, and the IP of any other domain hosted on your server. There is no rhyme or reason behind this, so it is in your best interests to keep your domain and personal IP completely hidden until you are an editor or guaranteed a listing.
- Submitting your site and forgetting about it is the weakest thing you can do. Visit 'their support forum' or browse these forums to see the poor saps that listened to the parroting and actually spent 4 years waiting. Get down and dirty to get it done.
I read the charter here and nothing I've written is in breach of it since I am not suggesting anything illegal, nor am I (primarily) grieving about DMOZ.
I am also an editor. :-)

What steps can I try if my modem does not dial or does not connect?
Verify that the modem cable is plugged into the modem jack and not the Ethernet network jack.
Verify that your notebook is connected to the telephone line and the telephone line has a dial tone.
Verify that that the modem cable is less than 6 feet (1.8 meters) long.
Remove any line splitters or surge protectors from your telephone line, then check for a dial tone by plugging a working telephone into the telephone wall jack.
If you have additional telephone services such as call waiting, call messaging, or voice mail, make sure that all messages are cleared and call waiting is disabled before using the modem. Contact your telephone service to get the correct code to temporarily disable the service.
Verify that the modem dialing properties are set appropriately. To check the dialing properties:
From the
menu, click
Control Panel
Control Panel
Category View
, click
Printers and Other Hardware
On the
Printers and Other Hardware
menu, click the
Phone and Modem Options
icon, and then click the
Dialing Rules
Click the location from which you are dialing, then click
Verify that all settings are correct.
Disconnect any answering machine, fax machine, or printer that is on the same line as the modem. Do not connect these devices to the same telephone line as the modem.
Verify that you are not using a digital, rollover, or PBX line. These lines do not work with your modem.
Check for line noise (scratchy, crackling, or popping sounds). Line noise is a common problem that can cause the modem to connect at a slower rate, abort downloads, or even disconnect. The faster the modem, the less line noise it can tolerate and still work correctly. To check for line noise:
Listen to the line using your telephone. Dial a single number (such as 1). When the dial tone stops, listen for line noise. Wiggle the modem cable to see if that makes a difference.
Verify that the connectors are free from corrosion and all screws in the wall or telephone wall jack are secure.
You can also call your telephone service and have the telephone line checked for noise or low line levels.
Try another telephone line (either a different telephone number in your house or a telephone line at a different location). If you can connect on this line, call your telephone service.
Try connecting with the modem at a lower connection speed. If reducing the connect speed lets you connect, call your telephone service. The telephone line may be too noisy.

Traumatic brain injury occurs when an external mechanical force causes brain dysfunction.
Traumatic brain injury usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. An object penetrating the skull, such as a bullet or shattered piece of skull, also can cause traumatic brain injury.
Mild traumatic brain injury may cause temporary dysfunction of brain cells. More serious traumatic brain injury can result in bruising, torn tissues, bleeding and other physical damage to the brain that can result in long-term complications or death.
Traumatic brain injury can have wide-ranging physical and psychological effects. Some signs or symptoms may appear immediately after the traumatic event, while others may appear days or weeks later.
The signs and symptoms of mild traumatic brain injury may include:
Moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries can include any of the signs and symptoms of mild injury, as well as the following symptoms that may appear within the first hours to days after a head injury:
Infants and young children with brain injuries may lack the communication skills to report headaches, sensory problems, confusion and similar symptoms. In a child with traumatic brain injury, you may observe:
Always see your doctor if you or your child has received a blow to the head or body that concerns you or causes behavioral changes. Seek emergency medical care if there are any signs or symptoms of traumatic brain injury following a recent blow or other traumatic injury to the head.
The terms "mild," "moderate" and "severe" are used to describe the effect of the injury on brain function. A mild injury to the brain is still a serious injury that requires prompt attention and an accurate diagnosis.
Traumatic brain injury is caused by a blow or other traumatic injury to the head or body. The degree of damage can depend on several factors, including the nature of the event and the force of impact. Injury may include one or more of the following factors:
Common events causing traumatic brain injury include the following:
The people most at risk of traumatic brain injury include:
Several complications can occur immediately or soon after a traumatic brain injury. Severe injuries increase the risk of a greater number of complications and more-severe complications.
Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury can result in prolonged or permanent changes in a person's state of consciousness, awareness or responsiveness. Different states of consciousness include:
Some people with traumatic brain injury will have seizures within the first week. Some serious injuries may result in recurring seizures, called post-traumatic epilepsy.
Cerebrospinal fluid may build up in the spaces in the brain (cerebral ventricles) of some people who have had traumatic brain injuries, causing swelling and increased pressure in the brain.
Skull fractures or penetrating wounds can tear the layers of protective tissues (meninges) that surround the brain. This can enable bacteria to enter the brain and cause infections. An infection of the meninges (meningitis) could spread to the rest of the nervous system if not treated.
Most people who have had a significant brain injury will experience changes in their thinking (cognitive) skills. Traumatic brain injury can result in problems with many skills, including:
Language and communications problems are common following traumatic brain injuries. These problems can cause frustration, conflict and misunderstanding for people with a traumatic brain injury, as well as family members, friends and care providers. Communication problems may include:
People who've experienced brain injury often experience changes in behaviors. These may include:
Emotional changes may include:
Problems involving senses may include:
A traumatic brain injury may increase the risk of diseases that result in the gradual degeneration of brain cells and gradual loss of brain functions. These include:
Because traumatic brain injuries are usually emergencies and because consequences can worsen swiftly without treatment, doctors usually need to assess the situation rapidly.
This 15-point test helps a doctor or other emergency medical personnel assess the initial severity of a brain injury by checking a person's ability to follow directions and move their eyes and limbs. The coherence of speech also provides important clues. Abilities are scored numerically. Higher scores mean milder injuries.
If you observed someone being injured or arrived immediately after an injury, you may be able to provide medical personnel with information that's useful in assessing the injured person's condition. Answers to the following questions may be beneficial in judging the severity of injury:
Tissue swelling from a traumatic brain injury can increase pressure inside the skull and cause additional damage to the brain. Doctors may insert a probe through the skull to monitor this pressure.
Mild traumatic brain injuries usually require no treatment other than rest and over-the-counter pain relievers to treat a headache. However, a person with a mild traumatic brain injury usually needs to be monitored closely at home for any persistent, worsening or new symptoms. He or she also may have follow-up doctor appointments.
The doctor will indicate when a return to work, school or recreational activities is appropriate. It's best to avoid physical or thinking (cognitive) activities until symptoms have stopped. Most people return to normal routines gradually.
Emergency care for moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries focuses on making sure the person has an adequate oxygen and blood supply, maintaining blood pressure, and preventing any further injury to the head or neck. People with severe injuries may also have other injuries that need to be addressed.
Additional treatments in the emergency room or intensive care unit of a hospital will focus on minimizing secondary damage due to inflammation, bleeding or reduced oxygen supply to the brain.
Medications to limit secondary damage to the brain immediately after an injury may include:
Emergency surgery may be needed to minimize additional damage to brain tissues. Surgery may be used to address the following problems:
Most people who have had a significant brain injury will require rehabilitation. They may need to relearn basic skills, such as walking or talking. The goal is to improve their abilities to perform daily activities.
Therapy usually begins in the hospital and continues at an inpatient rehabilitation unit, a residential treatment facility or through outpatient services. The type and duration of rehabilitation varies by individual, depending on the severity of the brain injury and what part of the brain was injured. Rehabilitation specialists may include:
Follow these tips to reduce the risk of brain injury:
The following tips can help older adults avoid falls around the house:
The following tips can help children avoid head injuries:
A number of strategies can help a person with traumatic brain injury cope with complications that affect everyday activities, communication and interpersonal relationships. Depending on the severity of injury, a family caregiver or friend may need to help implement the following approaches:
