Not getting enough heat?
Check your furnace filter and air vents. One of the most common causes of insufficient heat or cooled air is a plugged furnace filter. Change inexpensive woven fiberglass filters once a month or buy a better-quality pleated filter and change it every three months to avoid heating and cooling problems.
Another common cause of cold rooms during heating season is a blocked cold air return. Be sure your couch or an area rug isn't covering a cold air return vent because this can slow the entry of heated air into the room.

4A high school football championship: Mustangs hoping for different outcome in rematch of 2009 final
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — After all the offseason workouts, two-a-days, regular and postseason games, two teams remain in the 4A classification — Mountain Crest and Timpview. The two teams match up today at 6:30 p.m. at Rice-Eccles Stadium to determine the 4A state champion.
"We battled hard to get here and the kids have worked and put in the time they needed to, but you have another team in Mountain Crest that I'm sure did a lot of the same to get here," said Timpview coach Cary Whittingham. "It should be a great game."
Timpview defeated 4A powerhouse and season-long favorite East in the semifinals 32-14 in what many billed the game of the year. The win will go for naught, however, if the Thunderbirds can't take care of business against the Mustangs.
"I think we realized after how big of a win it was, but every game in the playoffs has been big for us," Whittingham said. "We had to travel to play a good team in Logan, and then at Woods Cross, and our kids had to get up for those, and I'm confident that we'll be focused and prepared heading into the game against Mountain Crest."
Timpview will rely on a balanced attack led by quarterback Jake Lloyd.
"The difficulty in defending Timpview is you can't just shut down one thing since they do everything so well on offense," said Mountain Crest coach Mark Wootton. "Their quarterback will probably be the best quarterback we've faced, and we just have to weather the storm of what they'll bring at us offensively and make sure we tackle well."
Mountain Crest slugged out a win in the semifinals against Highland 14-6 when last Friday's weather was at its very worst. Leading up to their semifinal game, the Mustangs were putting up 30-40 points on a consistent basis.
"It's a very well-run offense from what I've seen on film," Whittingham observed. "It's a team that will give you a great effort and a team that isn't likely to beat themselves. They have a very talented running back, and their defense is a tough one."
Eddy Hall leads the charge out of the Mustang backfield with his 1,504 rushing yards on the year. Quarterback Jamison Webb has thrown for 1,981 yards on the year and will primarily target tight end Faimafili Laulu-Pututau, who has 52 receptions for 813 yards on the year.
Mountain Crest's success is predicated on a great work ethic and a great sense of unity developed when the players were very young.
"We're not a school that has a lot of kids transferring in and out," Wootton said. "Most of our kids have grown up together and been friends since they were in the second grade, and we feel that's an advantage for us. It's a very tight-knit community up here, and our players have represented that community well and will do so again on Friday — win or lose."
It's been a season of a lot of turmoil and distraction for Timpview due to clerical issues and other things completely out of the players' control. Despite the issues, they've remained focused and are on the cusp of the ultimate goal.
"I can't tell you how proud I am of this team for how they've focused and have dealt with all the distractions," Whittingham said. "We have great senior leaders, and the attitude of everyone has just been tremendous. We have one more game left, but no matter what happens, I'll be just proud of all of them for what they've accomplished."

Plymouth Neon Replacement Clutch Information
All the comfort and safety-aware drivers like you understand how to get the best quality at a good price when looking for Plymouth Neon parts. People who want the most from their cars realize that only the best quality auto parts should be used for maintenance and repairs. If you invested in that high-performance car for its excellent power and performance, insure your decision and buy first rate replacement parts. The Plymouth Neon Clutch is a key part within a vehicle's transmission enabling your current gear to be disengaged from your car's drive shaft to enable another higher or lower gear to be applied. An operative Clutch switches gears by utilizing the motor's flywheel and friction discs; as the clutch pedal is depressed, the flywheel and clutch plate move apart, uncoupling the motor from the wheels which allows it to spin freely. In vehicles that use an automatic transmission, the Clutch is integrated into the transmission system, while manual transmissions call for the driver to engage a clutch by themselves, normally by using the pedal close to the brake pedal. Generally the clutch is a durable system, over time the internal components can wear out and will require repair. Clutches permit a vehicle's transmission to change gears by unhooking the transmission from its engine.
They are available for the following Plymouth Neon years: 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95. This part is also sometimes called Plymouth Neon Clutch Kits.

National news
A man who allegedly ran down a mother in front of her son must have known there was a chance she could die, a jury has been told.
The Crown has finished summing up its case in the High Court at Auckland in the trial of Christopher Shadrock.
Shadrock is accused of murdering Jian 'Joanne' Wang who died in hospital from brain injuries after being knocked down by a four-wheel drive in the car park of the Manukau Westfield shopping centre in 2008.
Her eight-year-old son witnessed the event.
Four of Shadrock's friends - Maka Tuikolovatu, Vila Lemanu, Lionel Tekanawa and Terence Tere - have been charged with being accessories, allegedly helping him dispose of evidence despite knowing he was a wanted man.
All five have pleaded not guilty.
The Crown case is that Shadrock ran down Wang after stealing her handbag.
He did not expect her to give chase, and she held on to the front of the stolen four-wheel-drive he was trying to get away in.
The Crown said Shadrock drove into her in his desperation to get away, knowing that she might die.
His defence argued that it never occurred to Shadrock that Wang might be killed.
Crown lawyer Kevin Glubb told the jury today they needed to look at the big picture of evidence in front of them.
He said while some of the evidence presented to the jury about security camera footage had been technical, in reality the issues in the case were simple.
The jury needed to bring common sense to the task, and ask three key questions where Shadrock was concerned.
They needed to determine where Wang was standing when she was hit.
Glubb said the Crown case is that Wang was in front of the four-wheel drive, not to the side of it as the defence suggested.
The jury also needed to consider whether Shadrock was aware of Wang's presence when he accelerated forward.
Wang was seen yelling and screaming at Shadrock by other witnesses, and was holding on to the bonnet of the car, Glubb said, meaning there was no way Shadrock could not have known she was there.
The final question the jury needed to consider was whether Shadrock knew Wang could be killed when he allegedly drove into her.
"He must have known if you drive a vehicle like that into a pedestrian she could well die. But drive it like that he did and it follows he must be responsible for his conduct," Glubb said.
Shadrock's defence lawyer, Chris Wilkinson-Smith, said his client did not intend to hurt anyone that day.
In an interview with police soon after Wang's death, Shadrock admitted stealing Wang's handbag, which had between $2000 and $4000 inside.
He told police the van had "hopped" when he suddenly changed from reverse to drive and, with his foot still on the accelerator, rammed in to Wang.
The Crown said there was no evidence of hopping in the footage.
Shadrock said in the interview that he had a "bad feeling someone had been hurt" but there were lots of thoughts clouding his mind as he left, one being "what's in the bag".
Glubb said there was no question Shadrock's co-accused - Lemanu, Tekanawa and Tere - knew what they were doing when they burnt the four-wheel drive days after Wang's death.
He also said Tuikolovatu disposed of Wang's handbag to help his friend, even though he knew it was connected to her death.
Shadrock's defence is expected to sum up this afternoon.

2 teaspoons

sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour

1/2 (12 ounce) package
angel hair pasta
2 cups
diced cooked turkey
1/2 cup
panko bread crumbs
I had had Turkey tetrazzini in the states seveal years ago and loved it. Made this for lunch today. had all the ingreds., bar turkey. But I did had 1/2 a cooked chook (chicken to you lot in the states)Grabbed a bowl, walked down to the bottom paddock and picked mushrooms. How good is that for freshness? This turned out soooooo!!!!! yummy. Thanks for the recipe Margieatk I will make this over and over again.
I'm sorry to say I found this rather bland. Maybe Stouffer's is; I've never had it. My mother always put parmesan in her tetrazzini, so I added some and that helped... I think onion or a bit of garlic added to the sauteed veggies would help. I will say that the sauce was the right consistency and the pasta/sauce ratio was very good.

While making this my husband said "I'm not going to like that" He's now on his third helping. This would be equally good made with chicken and make sure you only use the 6 oz of pasta or you will have a dry casserole. I broke pasta in half for a smaller bite. I used buttered bread crumbs per personal preference. I also used a dry sherry. This is a very good and easy anytime dish. I also want to mention this says it's 6 servings. I believe it is 3 maybe 4. Thank You for the recipe!
WOW!! Made this last night hoping it tasted like the Stouffer's tetrazzini. If I hadn't made it myself I would have sworn I was eating Stouffer's. I didn't change a thing and it was perfect. My whole family loved it. This is definitely a keeper.
This tastes just like Stouffer's! I have made it twice now, it's delicious!
This is my second time preparing the recipe. THis time, I forgot heavy cream, so I used 2% milk instead. *Still* fantastic! Great comfort food recipe.
This was delicious and DEAD ON the "original", which I have always loved. I subbed lowfat ingredients for butter and heavy cream, and was still almost exactly as I remember it. My husband went back for seconds, which he usually doesn't do!
I absolutely loved it. I didn't have sherry and used white wine and it was still perfect.

An elderly woman missing from Penge has been found safe and well, police have said.
Lilian Turner, 85, known to friends by her middle name, Jean, was reported unaccounted for yesterday (Aug 27) after leaving her home in Sutherland Court in Thesiger Road.
Lilian suffers from dementia and police were concerned she could have been in a confused state. Police believed she might have travelled to Catford or Elmers End and could possibly have gone by bus.
She was last seen wearing a white blouse embroidered with flowers, black trousers, and white sandals. She also had a walking stick and holdall with her.
She is described as a white woman, approximately 5ft 3ins tall, and has grey/white hair.
Acting Inspector Katey Martin said: "We're extremely concerned about Lilian and would appeal to the public to keep a look out for her and get in touch if they have any information.
"She has not long since moved into her new home, so she won't be overly familiar with the local area. I'd urge anyone who might have seen her or with information to call police straight away."
Anyone who may have seen Lilian or who has information on her whereabouts should call police on 999.

His is a voice that most Indian cricket fans are familiar with. While he was a player, he was associated with some extremely special moments like the 1983 World Cup triumph and the 1985 World Championship victory.
Once he made the seamless transition to wielding a microphone, he was at hand to witness further glories as M.S. Dhoni's men won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 and the 2011 World Cup. He was there too when Sachin Tendulkar made his farewell speech at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. "The mike is all yours," Ravi Shastri had said and set the stage for Tendulkar's heart-felt speech.
Shastri has been around for close to two decades as a commentator.
There are those who comment on his efficiency and there are those who point out his repetitive words but there is no mistaking his energy.
Nothing like playing
So what does he prefer, playing or commentating? Ever quick to reply, Shastri said: "Nothing beats playing. You got the colours of your country on you and when you were part of an era when you won the biggest tournaments in the world, there is no substitute for that.
"Commentating comes next, it's live, it is something you enjoy and makes you feel nostalgic at times, coming to places where you might have done well and helps you keep in touch with players, who otherwise you won't meet and which is good."
After playing 80 Tests and 150 ODIs, the former Indian all-rounder, who was the skipper in one victorious Test against the mighty West Indies at Chennai, shifted to commentary and Shastri felt at home. "I was asked to come to Sri Lanka to do a (1994 Singer Cup) series and after day one, I remember telling my dad: 'This is my life.' When I played cricket, I was the hard-working kind, but here (in commentary) I was a natural," he said.
Epochal moments
The decision was made and he was there to see India's epochal moments. "The highlight would be (M.S.) Dhoni whacking (the ball) into the crowd and then what comes out. The beauty of live television is that you don't read out something, you speak about what you see," he recalled. What about Tendulkar's speech? "It was fabulous and even here there was attention to detail."
On the flipside, there is the endless travel and the jibes about his expressions like 'tracer bullet.' Shastri has his defence: "I am not an English Literature teacher neither have I an 'O' Level in the languages. I go with the flow.
"If you repeat something then people will say he is saying the same things but if I was the first one to use it, I have the rights to use it again. If a shot is played that way then you say it that way and I care a toss for what anyone says."

Favorite Easter treat - Only one? Sweets - Peeps and pastel M&Ms, and ricotta pie with chocolate chips. Savories - An Italian pie called pizza chiena; it has a flaky/chewy crust and is made with ricotta, eggs, parmesan cheese, some other full-fat dairy stuff I'm sure I've left out, cracked peppercorns, pepperoni, and chunks of ham.

DEFINITION of 'Accounting Valuation'
The process of valuing a company's assets for financial-reporting purposes. Several accounting-valuation methods are used while preparing financial statements in order to value assets. Many valuation methods are stipulated by accounting rules, such as the need to use an accepted options model to value the options that a company grants to employees. Other assets are valued simply by the price paid, such as real estate.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Accounting Valuation'
Accounting valuation is important, because the value of assets on a company's financial statements needs to be reliable. Analysis of this valuation is just as important as the valuation itself. Some assets, such as real estate, which is carried at cost less depreciation, can be carried on the balance sheet at far from their true value.

I don't know the DirectX terms exactly, but indeed, find an example that does "MRT" (multi render target) so you can draw an object into multiple buffers. I'm pretty sure that nVidia SDK has a lot of examples on that. Once you have set that up, try to render several pixel attributes into your textures. For example:
* texture1: rgb = pixel diffuse color a = specular term
* texture2: rgb = pixel world position a = specular glossiness
* texture3: rgb = pixel normal a = ...?
Note this is just an example. You can compress data such as the normals and positions to get more available for other attributes. But this would be an easy start. Also note that this step does not involve any lighting so far.
>> blending
Yes. Compare it with photoshop & layers. In the first layer, you have your scenery with its diffuse colors - no lights yet. On a second layer, you draw a red circle that represents a red point light. Set the layer blending mode to "additive" or "light up", or whatever its called in PS. Then on layer 3, you can make another lamp, and so on. Finally, merge all light layers and multiply it with the first lighting. It's not exactly the same, but pretty close.
Blending is not too fast, though additive blending is pretty simple, and I wouldn't worry about the performance unless you want LOT's of lights and/or target lower end hardware. But once you master Deferred Lighting, you could pick up Compute Shaders which allow you you to do all lights in a single pass, applied on smaller tiles on the screen. The Battlefield3 Frostbite engine has a nice paper that explains this "Tiled Deferred lighting". But anyhow, that's for later concern.

New casinos could go to Quinn in October
By Benjamin Yount
Illinois Statehouse News
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois lawmakers approved five new casinos in May, but the bill isn't expected to reach Gov. Pat Quinn's (D) desk until October.
"I find it curious that if the House and Senate vote for something … that they don't swiftly send it on to the governor," Quinn said July 6. "I am prepared to use (my veto powers). I have done it in the past, but I don't have any particular plan right now."
State senators are holding the plan to add one casino in Chicago, two in its suburbs, and one each in Rockford and Danville with a special legislative maneuver.
The governor has expressed skepticism about the casino legislation to add five new casinos and expand gambling opportunities at racetracks and Illinois' 10 existing riverboats, yet he has not said what changes he would like to see in the bill. Quinn supports a new casino in Chicago, but not the proposed casino in Danville. Also, he's all but declared he will not allow slot machines at the racetrack at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
State Sen. Terry Link (D-Waukegan) said he wants to give Quinn as much time as he needs to become comfortable with the plan. Link has met several times with the governor to discuss the gambling expansion legislation, but Quinn has not said what he wants added or removed from the proposal.
"We're actually helping him, in a sense, by not sending it to him," said Link, who helped write the casino legislation, and shepherded it through the Senate. "If the governor says 'I'd like X, Y, Z,' and we can agree on X, Y, Z, then we would put it into a (new piece of legislation), and right now it would all be done in the veto session."
The fall veto session is scheduled for the last week of October and the second week of November. Link said if there is an agreement with the governor on the legislation, he expects action then.
Meantime, local leaders who have been promised a casino are waiting.
Danville Mayor Scott Eisenhauer is scheduled to meet with Quinn July 7. He said his meeting will be a chance to "sell" the idea of a Danville casino to the governor and answer any questions Quinn might have.
But Eisenhauer, who has been disappointed by past failed attempts to bring a casino to Danville, said he does not need to have an answer from the governor when he leaves the meeting.
"We're very patient people, and we're not losing any faith," said the mayor. "The only disappointment is that the longer this process takes, the longer we have to wait to start generating money for the state."
Quinn said in addition to local leaders, he wants to meet with Illinois Gaming Board Chairman Aaron Jaffe, who has in the past called the casino expansion plan "garbage."
Jaffe has said the legislation falls short because it selects locations for the new casinos, a responsibility originally delegated to the Gaming Board. He also has expressed frustration at the lack of money for his regulators to oversee the new casinos.

Anything chowish near Travis AFB?
- Niki in Dayton Apr 8, 2008 03:02 PM
The last time I visited, about 1.5 years ago, the 'hounds told me to go to Napa for decent food. I did and it was great (Ad Hoc and Cindy's Backstreet), but I'm hoping there's something decent closer to the base or Fairfield, even Vacaville. I'm a complete omnivore, and any type of delicious cuisine will do (Asian, Mexican, seafood, Italian, French, Indian, etc.) A co-worker told me about a winery with a good restaurant, not in Napa, about a half hour from the base, but of course he doesn't remember the name. Come on 'hounds, help a girl out! TIA,and all suggestions are welcomed.
re: geekyfoodie
Thanks. Dessert is good :-) I'm still hopeful someone will chime in with chow worthy places close to the base. Usually there are some good ethnic places close (Korean or Vietnamese or anywhere military members' spouses might be from).
It's been years since I've been there but there is a place in Vacaville about 15 minutes east of Fairfield called Hisui. It was a Jpanese teppan steak house and had wonderful sushi on boats floating through the restaurant when we were there. Maybe some hounds can tell if it is still as wonderful as when we tried it.
re: dimsumgirl
Thanks, dimsumgirl! I've about resigned myself to driving to Napa again for dinner most evenings, but I'm still hopeful :-)
re: Niki in Dayton
I'm sorry to say I don't have any recommendations for you - just drove through there tonight so I wish I did! You may get more responses if you post this question on the California board as Travis is a bit far out from what many think of when they think of Bay Area. Good luck!
re: dinnerout
Actually, I did, but it mysteriously morphed over here :-)
re: Niki in Dayton
Oops, sorry about that - I've lived here my whole life and thought Travis area was a bridge too far to be in the Bay Area, but I was wrong! Glad you got some good info!
Fairfield is on-topic for the SF Bay Area board. Here's a link to the spots that chowhounds have entered into the Places database for Fairfield so far.
Clicking on those names will take you to discussion links for more info.
re: Melanie Wong
Thanks; very helpful. Gives us options for evenings meetings go late.
Years ago I went to Old Post Office Seafood & Grill and liked it
There was one response a few years back that it was even better. Reviews on yelp are positive.
Old Post Office
301 Main St, Vacaville, CA
My sister lives in Suisun (about a mile from Travis) and I visit often. My favorite BBQ in the world is Coyote Sam's in a strip mall en route. No frills service, I maintain they have the best ribs and brisket in NoCal and love the fact that I can get fried catfish and great greens as well.
La Cabana on Main Street in Suisun is very, very good Mexican.
Yo Sushi, at 430 N Texas St, Fairfield, - (707) 425-1100 has some of the best and largest selection of maki and temaki rolls available. I live next to Japantown here in San Francisco and still maintain this small Fairfield establishment is superior to what I can get across the street from my apartment.
Athenian Grill, 750 Kellogg St, Suisun City, - (707) 425-0500 has decent quality Greek and is right on the water for a pleasant evening.
Tatsuke Japanese, 3414 Spring St, Suisun City, - (707) 427-1221 is where I would drive for Japanese food when I lived in Napa because the Japanese food in Napa is SO bad.
Mankas Corners might the wine restaurant which was recommended. It is out-of-the-way and tries a bit hard to be elegant when it doesn't have to be, but has really great food.
All of these places I mention are in the Travis AFB area -- within a 10 minute drive. Vacaville and Vallejo will be 1/2 hour to 45 minutes as will Napa. Oh yeah, and there is a good Indian in the middle of Fairfield -- I think it is called Taj. Keep in mind that Fairfield (because of the AFB) has a LOT of really great ethnic cuisines worth exploring; Thai, Pho, taquerias, Puerta Rican, etc...
La Cabana
325 Main St, Suisun City, CA 94585
yo sushi
fairfield, CT
re: Carrie 218
Thanks, this is exactly the kind of info that's most helpful to me. Yo Sushi is on my short list!
re: Niki in Dayton
I ended up eating at Yo Sushi twice. The first night three of us (one from OH, and two from San Antonio TX) were happy with the sashimi and I went back alone another night after hitting the gym for the tamaki rolls. We also made it to Ad Hoc for fried chicken on Weds. Thanks, folks!
re: Niki in Dayton
Glad you liked Yo! When I first discovered them several years ago, I got royally slammed by folks who didn't think there could be such good Maki and Temaki rolls that far east of "The City."
Here's a Fairfield/Solano County post by Fleagirl in 2005:
You might also try the Main Street Bar and Grill on Main St. in Suisun for linen-on-the-table. They tell me it's the same ownership as Old Post Office in Vacaville.
Just east along Hwy 12, the Black Bear Diner serves a decent chicken fried steak with generous portions.
I wholeheartedly agree with Carrie 218 re La Cabana. I love their made on premises corn tortillas
A favorite of mine is Wren's Cafe, in Vacaville, for breakfast or lunch. It's a small, no-frills, throwback kind of place with good food and fair prices. It's on the north side of I-80 at the Alamo-Merchant off-ramp.

At the moment there seems to be a resurgence in the fortunes of the Progressive Unionist Party–a Party that to some degree has fallen on hard times in recent years. There are many reasons for this–too many to recount here–but suffice to say that the party has sunk to its knees in this past number of years. Now with a new found will and a huge amount of application and dedication from many individuals their future certainly looks a lot brighter than previously. Should they climb to former lofty heights many people will deserve the plaudits undoubtedly bestowed upon them. But consideration should be given to those from a generation ago who took the bull by the horns–and an unprecedented gamble–not to mention flak from both friends and foes–to establish the Volunteer Political Party–the forerunner to the modern PUP.
One of those forward thinking pioneers was Ken Gibson. Ken was an East Belfast man–born and bred in the Willowfield area. From an early age it was apparent that Ken had staunch Unionist/Loyalist tendencies. For a period through the sixties he was aligned to Ian Paisley through the Free Presbyterian Church but at the onset of the conflict in 1969 Ken seen through the bluster of the agitator and left his fold. In the early seventies, in response to the republican onslaught against the Protestant community a revamped UVF was emerging. Ken Gibson was in the front ranks of this movement. Through the very early years of the Troubles Ken led from the front and was soon rewarded with a place on the UVF Brigade Staff. In early 1973 not long after internment was introduced for those who were only trying to defend their country Ken made that trip to Long Kesh as Loyalist Detainee. While there he was a great source of all things pertaining to loyalism and was a wonderful role model in particular to the younger prisoners who, of course were in abundance. I was also noticeable during this period that Ken was one of the early thinkers within the ranks. It wouldnt have been unusual to see him huddled over a table in the study hut or gathered around a bed space with Gusty, Billy Davidson, Geordie Orr and others. Much of the forward thinking from this time emanated from these men–on the inside–and their compatriots on the outside. Much of what they spoke about then is now is evident in the pages of the recent book–" Northern Ireland's Lost Opportunity-The Frustrated Promise of Political Loyalism" by Tony Novosel. The thinking within the UVF ranks then was years ahead of anything else being offered at that time–from any quarter–but was disregarded because of the source. Had the same thinking been emanating from mainstream unionism much of it would have been implemented then–much earlier then the Good Friday Agreement of 1998–and with it the possibility of many lives being saved. It was in these early days of the coflict that the UVF recognised the need to steer a political path rather than one of armed defiance. Upon his release in December 1973 Ken was one of those officers tasked with attempting to move the organisation in a political direction. The next year the Volunteer Political Party was formed with Ken playing a leading role as Chairman and with Hughie Smyth as a close compatriot. In June 1974 Ken publicly stated that the VPP endorsed the idea of the establishment of an all party talks forum, a stance that was welcomed by the then British government. The VPP campaign also focused on the abysmal social housing in the Shankill area and other relevant working class issues. Ironically because of this stance the party was attacked by a number of Unionist politicians. Martin Smyth and John Taylor of the UUP were most vocal in their condemnation by declaring that the working class approach by Gibson and the VPP was akin to communism. Gibson at this time also publicly disavowed the Ulster Nationalist ideas being propogated by people like Glenn Barr and Kennedy Lindsay who were reprentatives of the Vanguard party.
In October of the same year Ken Gibson stood for the VPP in the West belfast constituency for the General Election but he only managed to finish in fourth place with a total of 2,690 votes–well behind the DUP candidate Johnny McQuade and even further behind the winner of the seat, Gerry Fitt. In the wake of this the VPP was dissolved and Hughie Smyth was elected to the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention as an Independent Unionist.
No matter that the initial setting up of a political arm was doomed to failure–Ken Gibson, and others like him had the bravery and the foresight to attempt something in the face of many barriers and difficulties. But it was through the pioneering efforts of him and others that would eventually pave the way for the reformation of the party under the title of the Progressive Unionist Party in 1979. Ken Gibson should be commended for that.

Paul Avrich's classic, and impeccably researched, study of the history of anarchism in Russia.

This book is stellar. My only reservation was the lack of discussion concerning council commies and other leftist Marxists (which in my eyes are pretty much anarchistic) while placing a little too much emphasis on insurrectionary politics.
Why is there hunger? It's nothing to do with a lack of food.
Kenan Malik distinguishes between the positive lived experience of a multicultural society, and multicultural state policies which foster division.

Heat is your computers worst enemy, but luckily enough there are many cooling products to make use of. We are taking a look at a new CPU cooler which uses three heat pipes that can handle heat up to 200w! Let's jump in and see how it compares to a few other S939 coolers on the market.
To test this cooler out, I am placing it in my everyday PC. The specs of this PC are as follows:
This is the setup that I have used for all my other reviews and this review will not be any different.
To test this cooler out, I will record the temperatures of my CPU idle and under load. To get to full load, I will run CPU Burn-in as well as encode a movie. This ought to be slow. The side panel will be closed on my case as well.
The results are along the lines of what I expected. I am at idle, around 30*C and at load, I am right at 36*C. From my other reviews, this cooler would rate right up there with the Zalman 7000Cu and that is not a bad cooler either.
With all this said, there isnt a whole lot that I can pick out that I do not like about this cooler. I would like to point out that the noise is not what I had expected from a 92mm fan. This was silenced by four rubber nipples that the fan casing mounts directly onto. A better example can be seen in the following picture.
There were a lot of nice features about this cooler that can allow me to recommend this to anyone looking for a high performance to price ratio. At only 34.99 at Newegg, you can't go wrong with this cooler. It performs almost as good as the Zalman 9500 and costs half as much as the Zalman does. This is a good cooler and I can recommend this with out reservations to anyone out there who is unsatisfied with their current cooling solution.
All in all, this is a solid cooler that merits a 9/10 on our near famous scale. This will make you happy. Period. Many thanks to Arctic Cooling, who once again, has allowed us to review one of their fine products. Keep up the quality work.

Another Winner by Davis Bunn
By Shirley McDonald, Amazon (full review)
Hope Is Dead.
This slogan becomes the central focus of an idea that Trent Cooper plans to use to prove to the owner of media giant Mundrose Group that he can be a major player in the media world. What Trent does not plan on is that God would call and bring together five unlikely people to spearhead a grassroots campaign with a groundswell of support of Christians who are determined to get out the message that Hope is definitely NOT dead.
Somewhat different from Bunn's previous books, The Turning inspires readers to respond to God's call even when they feel totally unqualified to do what He asks. They who have been called to take the "turning" first must be willing to work out an obstacle in their lives that have kept them from being their best. Meeting through divine plan, they wait to see what God would have them do. They do not have long to wait before they are caught up in the fight against Mundrose Group's campaign to instill the idea into society that Hope Is Dead.
Full of page-turning action that takes place over thirteen days, The Turning is a story of good vs evil with believable, not perfect, characters who both hear and listen to God's voice. What a message of hope that is for those of us who have been somewhat afraid to pursue our own "turning."
A major corporation vs. the church
By Geni White, Amazon (excerpt)
I believe this is one of Davis Bunn's best written books, because of the main characters' dependence on God for clear direction on how to fight evil.
By Greg Parrott, 2 Book Lovers Reviews
The Turning is an inspirational story of how God can influence the lives of "ordinary" people, to create selfless heroes who can stand up to the corporate greed that is so prevalent in our times and "preaches" to the lowest common denominator. Through the strength of God, these five people step out of their "comfort zones" to challenge a power far greater than each one individually.
I have to say that The Turning was outside of my own "comfort zone." Having read the Lion of Babylon, I was intrigued by Davis Bunn's writing and I jumped at the opportunity to read The Turning. Most of the Christian fiction that I have read in the past has been on the "darker" side, challenging my beliefs. It was fresh and exhilarating to read something so different, approaching faith from a far more positive point of view.
Davis Bunn creates characters who are real, these people are our friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. Through their faith in God, they become heroes. This is something that I have always loved about his writing, there is no Hollywood hero; Davis Bunn leaves the reader with the feeling, "Yes, that could be me…" although at the same time I would have to push myself beyond. But really, isn't that what faith and God are there to help us with? God does not give us a challenge that he knows we cannot fulfill.
All in all I enjoyed The Turning; it pushed me and made me think about myself and God's influence in my life. It is a book that strangely made me feel "peaceful" as I read it. I was left wondering where John's next "Turning" would lead.
Best Davis Bunn book!
By Beth Underwood, Amazon (full review)
Out of the 30+ Davis Bunn books which I've read over the past 20 years, The Turning is the best, imho. A David and Goliath story which deals with a contemporary issue (how to respond to the continued media focus on dystopia), the book asks the question, "What if Christians listen to God and respond to His call to bring hope to a generation being bombarded by a message of hopelessness?"
In the book, a group of people unknown to each other are each called by God to (1) make peace with any broken relationships and (2) to join together in prayer and action to confront a media giant seeking to exploit the lack of hope in youth. Yes it is fiction but there are many biblical truths throughout the story that show how God works on behalf of those who faithfully follow and obey.
Well done, Davis!
