The Five Stages of Griefing: Death of the Consoles
Depression: What good are consoles
As we discussed, my largest gripe with console gaming is that you are locking art to a specific set of standards which are legal property of a third party. I am a very big proponent of the cultural impact of art which inherently implies the permanence. I am sickened by the industry as a whole, even beyond the scope of console gaming, and their attempts to strong-arm content that could very-well be timeless into disposable entertainment. Consoles promote this practice by themselves being disposable along with any content that relies upon them for access.
Okay, so this page is more 'depressing' than 'depression'. Belated warning.
Art is simply not valued enough by the average person. The purpose of art is the expression of our human nature and our attempt to contain complicated ideas and emotions in a communicable medium. Culture is often created through the experience and study of the received information. This culture advances us as much as it attempts to define us: the issues discussed are just that, discussed; the experiences had are likewise just that, experienced. We see echoes of art as positive forces on society: reduced crime rates often trail the release of violent media (and according to Slate, reduced violent sex-crime rates trailing increased Internet access -- food for thought; Avenue Q would agree).
Art should be thought of as a multi-directional entity. Communication is not necessarily from an author to an audience: during your experience with a video game you are constantly interacting and potentially expressing yourself in the process. A complicated interactive packet of content allows the user to express themselves just as much as those who developed the art itself: a little part of you being communicated when you choose to do good, evil, both, or neither in a well-made RPG; a little part of you being communicated in the style you use to gain advantages over your opponents in multiplayer games particularly during strategy games like Starcraft, but also in shooters and other games as well. That piece of you is then communicated when you discuss what happened with friends and others; this thought extends to mod communities without much explanation. While entertainment is important in our lives, the perceived profitability can dangerously encroach on the benefits of art.
Back in my day, our games had a single-digit number in the title! Even Final Fantasy!
Also, imagine the difficulty to be endured when this art is attempted to be studied. How often have you seen scholarly reviews of art just four years beyond creation? More often forty to four hundred? The merits of video games as an art medium are being debated at the same time as the industry debates the merits of PC gaming to conflicting results. Progress is made in developing timeless narrative for art that cannot be timeless without constant re-release by the original creator should they still exist; also, art attempts to unite a culture that is segmented by purely artificial boundaries.
A final note: the general acceptance of proprietary platforms is not even natural. There were intense apprehensions in the general public preventing the adoption of high-definition media discs for movies as the view was that they could not co-exist. At around that time there were no fewer than seven co-existing incompatible platforms for video games. Unlike the music, video, and print mediums where the constant struggle is to open up: the video game industry believes they are contented with progressively closed platforms despite obviously combating the negative corollaries that fall out as a result.
Accepting that PC Gaming is better?
I almost never buy games at full price of 60 bucks unless its a game I am really looking forward to. I have never re bought old accessories from when I had my ps2. My ps3 is online service is free. I also have been renting 3 ps3 games from my local library for the last year for free. I would have liked to see other cost comparisons. That did not assume what was assumed in that cost break down.
I personally think the REAL reason why people have been buying a console over a gaming PC in the latest generation is that a console is 400 bucks and a gaming PC you assumed is 1000. Many more people have 400 bucks to splurge on VS. a 1000.
That all being said. I'm greatly looking forward to building a gaming pc and installing linux.
Kind-of. I'd say more generally: marketing and giftability.
As for the cost comparison, the point was to show "Hey, this is a much better experience with the PC... and it's cheaper. Thus, arguments that the PC is more expensive are simply wrong."
The PC *can* be more expensive than the console... but only in special cases otherwise it wouldn't be worth it for the company to MAKE the console. Example -- if you borrowed all your games from the library, the console manufacturer would make no money... thus they would not sell the console under cost. Obviously on average they're expecting to make profits... which means on average they expect people to throw their money away.
I agree, Over a consoles life span they are much more expensive,
STEAM on PC is king...
Bioshock 2 + Bioshock 1 for FREE = £7
Oblivion = £4
Crysis + Crysis Warhead = £7
The list goes on, You're talking well over £200 worth of console games for £22. I bought Dead Space 1 &2 in the recent STEAM sale for £8, Again about £60-80's worth if bought on console.
Factor in greatly improved image quality, Higher frame rates, Higher graphic quality, Games that are actually rendered at HD resolutions and not fake up-scaled HD like the consoles.
The last console I owned was a PS2 but never again will I go back to them..
I see this article doesn't factor in actually having friends on the platforms, considering a large amount of people get consoles for their friends do. They'd probably call you bitter, for they're happy and you're not.
This article summarizes really well -- which gaming platform to purchase based on your friends.
good opinions, but i would like to point out a couple issues. First of all, you seem to ignore the way lots of people get games which is borrowing them from their friends. When im done with a game, i can loan it to all my friends who can play for themselves. 10 years ago we could do this with pc games as well, but now with constant connections required to fight piracy, our glorious publishers have decided we dont need that option anymore. It seems the position of the industry is that the physical game is irrelevant, you are purchasing the right to play the game on only one account and can never transfer that when u r done. this is of course utter nonsense similar to the crap the record companies were pushing to kill used cd sales right before napster ate their lunch. Sharing with your friends is good right, not according to steam.
Which brings me to my second point, the constant connection requirement. I can play my console games anywhere in the world where i have power and have the full single player experience i crave. When i got into steam, i thought that offline mode offered the same option, Then my dsl went out for a couple weeks. Try it sometime. Unhook your computer from the series of tubes known as the internet. Try to boot steam, the first thing it does is try to go online for offline mode, then shut itself down when it can't connect. so therefore the only way offline mode is worth anything is if you know before you lose your connection that you are going to lose your connection. How many of the connection problems youve had came with a warning. Therefore you lost your whole steam library. Also, lately all of the ea games on steam wont even play in offline mode without being able to connect to server. So what do i do when i lose connection and threfore every steam (well over 100) ive bought. Play my consoles which work just fine offline. So i guess my point is that each has strengths n weaknesses, but i think you missed a couple huge weaknesses for pc gaming that i have been experiencing lately.
Consoles are turning into that. Again, it's a problem with nature of the industry turning into consumable entertainment rather than intrinsically valuable art. Consoles are designed for the former nature where PCs are better suited (although not best suited until we get past proprietary platforms altogether) for the latter.
Just don't let publishers use DRM... or at least not after an initial launch window (though that extra control hurts them, publishers are addicted to it, and it's not too damaging if it gets removed very quickly)
This is already the case on consoles. To play any EA game online (like battlefield 3) you have to have a pass which comes with the game. If you buy used or let someone borrow it, they have to pay $15 for the pass. Soon all games will have this which means that used 3o dollar game just became 45, more than many games cost on steam.
This be bull. Everyone says the PC is dieing and everyone says console gaming is dead, yet both keep breeking there sales records. So long as theres money in it both arn't going anywhere any time soon.
I wish this was true. I really do. Truth is, at 1080p with giant pixels on flat screens. Most consumers can't tell the difference in quality nor do they care to uses a mouse and keyboard as a means of interface. A nice wireless game controller and DX9 is frankly good enough. Almost all new blockbuster PC games are console ports and this trend has increased and not decreased. And honestly, until we are all able to run games like Crysis 2 and Metro 2033 on sub 500 dollar boxes there will be no change in the trends that show a decline in PC gaming. I am PC enthusiast and I have to admit that its way too much money to build a system that has awesome gaming performance, especially when both AMD and NV are lagging so far behind in giving people enough VRAM on even their most expensive cards. Discreet graphics cards are awesome, I have two in SLI and love them, but they are incredibly over priced compared to every other part of my system.
8G of DDR3 ram @ 1600 cas8 = 80 bucks
i7 2600k @ 5GHz+ = 300 bucks
z68 UD7 mobo = 300 bucks
120g SSD = 150 bucks
A pair of GTX 580s = 1100 dollars?
This is why console gaming has eclipsed PC gaming and will continue to do so until GPU makers can find a way to lower prices drastically.
BTW- a 2600k for 300 bucks with 8g's of nice DDR3 is far more powerful (and better at math) than a couple 580s.
one last thought- I will be excited when I can buy a motherboard from Gigabyte or EVGA with a socket for my CPU and my GPU. Let me install both chips and decide how to cool them. That is the future of discreet graphics.
really at the end of the day if you swap the 360 out for a PS3, and include decent gaming mice and keyboards for your gaming PC your PC is totally more expensive. The current decline of the 50 dollar PC game and the rise of the 60 dollar PC game offsets the 10 dollars a game savings, and then there are other factors like amazon, trading in old games you'll never play again, etcetera that will further denounce your arguments for the PC.
At the end of the game quit trolling and get a PC and a PS3. There's no reason why both can't subsist and look at console sales during black friday. There's no way you're going to convince all of those parents that they'll save more money for their kids or that it'll be a better use of their time energy and effort to get them a PC instead of a 360.
What REALLY needs to happen is that companies need to give you a steam version with your console version. If they do that, then every argument you've made becomes m00t and pointless. You buy the console version because you get the PC version with it and you make your judgement on which is better without any additional increase in price based on changing your mind.
This article is just a waste of time really. You only make your point in a very narrow circumstance. I doubt you've convinced a single person and worst of all, it's a 1 size fits all solution that is written in a way to demean and demoralize people who have more varied preferences than you do in this realm.
Actually the largest points I made against the consoles were how they damage art due to their disposable nature. The rest was to disprove that the PC is any worse in any way.
And the consoles will continue to be disposable ad-infinitum. That's their goal. Be a vessel for consumable and disposable entertainment... not timeless art. Because consumables have churn... and make big 2-week sales.
But hey, if you have a PS3 that can play the majority of old games -- great. Better hope it doesn't get serviced otherwise say goodbye to your old collection. Chances are the one you're getting back cannot.
u mAd?

since im a parent.. when my 4yr old grows and has gaming needs. he'll always have the family gaming pc. after demonstrating responsible behavior, he'll get my hand me downs! if he wants a console.. well, im sure there's a chore for that.

pc gaming: a difficult thing to explain to people. ive tried. If OP convinced 1 person, then i say thank you to him.

btw, you are not very persuasive either.
ps. how do you backup movies and music on a console?.. i know its possible but it seems like it would have to involve an x-86 computer. or maybe you can use the competitors box

assessed the approximate number of eluted viruses). We screened one-third of the library (that is, 2.1 X 106viruses) in three separate selection experiments (that is, 0.7 X 106 viruses per experiment) and isolated 370 viruses that bound to Siaα2,6-TRBCs (Supplementary Fig. 2). Individual viruses were then grown in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells modified to overexpress Siaα2,6Gal (AX4 cells17), and screened again for their ability to agglutinate Siaα2,6-TRBCs (Supplementary Fig. 2). The parental control virus (designated VN1203/PR8) with avian-type receptor-binding specificity agglutinated untreated TRBCs (which possess both human-and avian-type receptors on their surface), but not TRBCs possessing predominantly human-type receptors (Siaα2,6-TRBCs; Supplementary Table 1). By contrast, of the 370 viruses originally isolated, nine agglutinated Siaα2,6-TRBCs, albeit with different efficiencies (Supplementary Table 1). All nine viruses possessed mutations in the region targeted for random mutagenesis; one mutant also possessed an additional mutation (E119G) in an area that was not targeted for mutation. Most of the mutations clustered around the receptor-binding pocket (Fig. 1a). Several of the selected viruses possessed mutations known to increase binding to human-type receptors, including N186K (ref. 9), S227N (ref. 5) and Q226L (which confers human-type receptor binding together with G228S)15 (all shown in blue in Fig. 1a). The identification of known determinants of human-type receptor-binding specificity from a library of random mutants validates our approach. Notably, our screen also identified mutations not previously associated with receptor-binding specificity.
Although viruses were diluted to ~0.5 viruses per well for amplification in AX4 cells, we cannot exclude the possibility that some wells were infected with more than one virus, resulting in mixed populations. To confirm the significance of the identified mutations in HA for human-type receptor binding, the mutations were engineered into a VN1203/PR8 virus (possessing an avirulent HA cleavage site sequence, as described earlier). All nine mutants were generated; however, after two passages in MDCK cells, the S136N mutation reverted to the wild-type sequence. This mutant was excluded from further evaluation.
First, we confirmed the binding of the remaining eight variants to Siaα2,6-TRBCs (Supplementary Table 1). For comparison, we included a VN1203/PR8 virus with two changes in its HA (Q226L and G228S) previously shown to have increased binding to Siaα2,6Gal6,15. Indeed, compared to the wild-type VN1203/PR8 virus, the Q226L/G228S mutant displayed an increased ability to bind to human-type receptors. For the recreated variants, haemagglutination titres were higher and slightly different from the initial characterization, which we attribute to biological differences (the initial characterization was carried out with non-concentrated cell culture supernatant and potentially mixed virus populations, whereas the recreated viruses were concentrated and purified) and to experimental differences (that is, differences between the TRBC batches or the efficiency of α2,3-sialidase treatment, or both). Collectively, however, these experiments demonstrate that this random mutagenesis approach allows the identification of hitherto unrecognized amino acid substitutions that permit avian virus HAs to bind to human-type receptors.
To characterize further the receptor-binding properties of the selected variants, we used solid-phase binding assays in which sialylglycopolymers were absorbed to plates, which were then incubated with virus (Fig. 2a). A virus possessing the HA and NA genes of the seasonal human A/Kawasaki/173/2001 (H1N1; K173) virus and the remaining genes from PR8 (K173/PR8) served as a control virus with typical human-type receptor specificity. Indeed, K173/PR8 preferentially bound to Siaα2,6Gal. In contrast, VN1203/PR8 bound to only Siaα2,3Gal. As reported elsewhere6,15, the Q226L/G228S mutations led to increased binding to Siaα2,6Gal. Variants I202T/R220S, W153R/T160I, N169I/H184L/I217M and H130Q/K157E resembled VN1203/PR8 in their binding to glycans, despite the fact that these mutants weakly agglutinated Siaα2,6-TRBCs (see Supplementary Table 1). These viruses may have bound to glycans on TRBCs that were different from Siaα2,6Galβ1,4GlcNAc used in this study. However, variants N186K/M230I, S227N/G228A and Q226L/E231G showed an appreciable increase in binding to Siaα2,6Gal but also retained binding capacity for Siaα2,3Gal. Of all of the variants tested, only E119G/V152I/N224K/Q226L exhibited specificity for only Siaα2,6Gal. Thus, only one H5 HA variant with receptor-binding capability akin to that of seasonal influenza viruses was isolated from the library screen of 2.1 X 106 viruses. To identify the amino acid change(s) responsible for the conversion from Siaα2,3Gal to Siaα2,6Gal recognition in the E119G/V152I/N224K/Q226L virus HA, we tested the amino acid changes at positions 119, 152, 224 and 226 individually and in various combinations. Solid-phase binding assays demonstrated that the N224K/Q226L combination is critical for the shift from Siaα2,3Gal to Siaα2,6Gal recognition (Fig. 2b); Q226L in combination with V152I also conferred weak binding to α2,6-glycans.

TRW On The Radar Ahead Of Euro NCAP Active Safety Ratings
LIVONIA, Mich., July 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (NYSE: TRW), is highlighting its full range of Driver Assistance Systems (DAS) technologies at a customer event in Hockenheim, Germany. TRW is unveiling a new modular radar platform and next generation camera which will enable the Company to deliver advanced safety in an affordable and flexible way to meet the more stringent active and pedestrian safety criteria planned to be introduced by Euro NCAP from 2014 onwards.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120709/DE36630 )
Peter Lake, executive vice president for Sales and Business Development said: "TRW has vast experience in the DAS market, with our radar systems having been available on production models for over a decade. With several production awards and development contracts for our camera and radar technologies, our DAS business is in a strong position to help vehicle manufactures meet Euro NCAP's intended new 5 star rating criteria, particularly in terms of the increased pedestrian detection capability requirements."
Euro NCAP's next step is to promote the voluntary fitment of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) by making it an important contributor to achieve a Euro NCAP 5 star safety rating, potentially from 2014. Additionally, the ability to protect pedestrians with an AEB system may be required by some vehicle models from 2016 to gain the 5 star rating in the pedestrian category, depending on their passive safety performance.TRW continues to develop its DAS portfolio to assist vehicle manufacturers in acquiring the top ratings across all relevant categories: without such advanced active safety systems a 5 star rating may not be achievable under the new criteria. Alois Seewald, global director, Cognitive Safety Integration for TRW, added: "We are working on our third generation camera technology which will be capable of processing higher resolution images to enable an extended sensing range and improved pedestrian detection functionality. "Also, our next generation modular AC1000 radar platform will provide sensors with a number of safety and convenience functions, with performance optimized to meet the Euro NCAP requirements for AEB. Having reviewed the proposed new test procedures, we are confident that these new TRW technologies are affordable solutions to support customers in delivering the safety everyone deserves."

Sunderland v Liverpool
Fletcher 29′
Suarez 71′
An emotional week for Liverpool following the Hillsborough revelations ended in a draw at Sunderland.
Reds striker Fabio Borini had two early shots saved before Steven Fletcher tapped in for Sunderland after Craig Gardner's mazy run and cross.
Liverpool came close to a goal when Glen Johnson's shot hit the crossbar and Steven Gerrard fired just wide.
The equaliser eventually came when Luis Suarez sidefooted in after his initial effort came back off Titus Bramble.
Jonjo Shelvey had a late chance for the visitors as they finished the match the stronger but his shot was saved by keeper Simon Mignolet.
The build-up to the match had been dominated by the Hillsborough findings and there was a show of solidarity between the two clubs at the ground, Sunderland flying flags at the Stadium of Light at half-mast as a mark of respect.
Once the match got under way, the Black Cats initially highlighted a lack of creativity and cutting edge from the Reds.
The home side allowed their guests plenty of possession and tried to catch them out on the break as they put up a disciplined defensive barrier.
The strategy almost had to be abandoned early on when defender Carlos Cuellar's tame header back to Mignolet let in Borini, whose shot was blocked by the Black Cats keeper.
Borini had another opening when Suarez touched the ball into his path only for the Italian's first-time shot to be parried away by the alert Mignolet.
But, in the main, Sunderland kept Liverpool comfortably at arm's length and they reaped the rewards when they took the lead with their first real attack.
"The two Irish managers share the spoils. Luis Suarez got the goal as Liverpool came from behind to get the equaliser to Steve Fletcher's goal for Sunderland. But Brendan Rodgers still has to wait for his first league win as Liverpool manager. It's also more than 100 years since Liverpool failed to win one of their first four league games of a season."
Gardner weaved past Suarez and Johnson before sliding a low cross for Fletcher to slot in on his home Premier League debut.
To add to Liverpool's growing frustrations, Suarez was booked for diving when he went over John O'Shea's leg.
The Reds regrouped after the break and Johnson, playing at left-back, cut inside before curling in a shot that came back off the crossbar.
Sunderland survived another scare when Raheem Sterling's cross caused confusion in their area, ending with Gerrard's guided shot hitting the outside of the post.
Teenager Sterling was Liverpool's main threat and it was another of his crosses from the right that led to the equaliser.
Suarez failed to connect properly with his first attempt and, after the ball ricocheted back to him off Bramble, he steered in a shot with his left foot.
Shelvey's failure to take his late chance left both camps with a point and still without a Premier League win so far this season.
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill:
"I thought we played well in the first half, we gave as good as we got, got the goal in front.
"The irony of it is that we were probably in the second half having our best spell in possession of the ball and looked as if we had got a second wind when they got the equalising goal.
"But they had a number of chances and didn't take them, hit the bar and so from that viewpoint, probably a point was a fair result."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers:
"The players have been terrific. It's been a difficult week, of course, as you can imagine for the city and everything surrounding it.
"The performance was outstanding, both our creativity and our movement, and there was a really good tempo and rhythm to our game.
"We went behind and we were disappointed with the goal, it was a soft goal from our perspective and it went in against the run of play.
"But in the second half, we showed a real reaction and continued what we were doing in the first half, but really upped the tempo and the penetration in our game and by the end of it, I am sure Sunderland were probably happier with the point than ourselves."

It's a monster - 'nuff said. [ And I don't work in a school anymore ]
I am looking at getting MS Exchange into the school and was wondering what amount of expertise/effort we will need to devote to running it. We are quite tight on resources here so we would not want to take on something that could become a monster!
It's a monster - 'nuff said. [ And I don't work in a school anymore ]
Getting Exchange here was the best thing we ever did 5 years ago and causes us very little trouble - it just works!
We are an RM network and it comes under the RM support contract but little time have we needed to resort to RM to address issues. Neither of us are particularly exchange-savvy but once it's setup it just works!
If it is Exchange 2010 you're looking at, it is incredibly hungry on resources, so be sure to buy the highest spec server possible to run it on. Otherwise, you WILL run into problems.
Aside from the initial configuration, it can be left pretty much untouched whilst it is in operation. The only reason I ever access my server now is to create new mailboxes.
I have attached a useful guide that I used. Although I used this to migrate from 2003 rather than a clean installation.
In my opinion, nothing comes close to exchange for in-house email management.
Hope this helps.
JonWPS (29th June 2011), pwaddington (29th June 2011), stevenlong1985 (29th June 2011)
we ditched exchange because it was becoming too cumbersome and expensive to manage (it only had 200 staff accounts, Zimbra held 1700 and was easier!).
We now have a google apps email domain and haven't looked back
Hi Steave what version of Exchange would you be going for ?
At the moment we running server 2008 with exchange 2010. The management console is really easy to use.
Once set up the management side of it is really easy.
Yes, it is a monster and not for the faint hearted. But when you get it right, running an Exchange system is very satisfying and allows a great deal of control over the flow of email in and out of the school, especially using the newer features of Exchange 2010. It's not a quick fix and requires a very good understanding of how email systems work and particularly how Exchange works. If you don't have anyone who has Exchange experience on your team, it may be a better idea to look at an alternative mail system.
Agreed - it's a real beast of a system. I've had the unfortunate experience of administering three exchange servers and two of them completely lost the configuration settings and had to be reinstalled.
We're on Exchange 2003 here and I find it easy to manage. Sure the setup is harder to sort out, but luckily it was in before I arrived. 2010 looms on the horizon though, so that PDF a few posts up makes for interesting reading.
Exchange is nice to use, but the set-up is simply awful. I had to re-do it 3 times once because it faulted at the same point, and the guy on the phone from MS said all I missed off was a " : " symbol which corrupted the entire install.
Management console interface is lovely, but the whole thing will eat RAM as a snack. We had it limited to 16GB and it used ALL of it and wanted more.
If you dont want hassle etc of the set up and the like, ZIMBRA would be the way to go as it is less resource hungry and is a decent system.
From what I gather, a clean install is straight forward in comparison to a migration from an older version of exchange. Just make sure you have good, and fully tested backups of your public folders. Exchange 2010 does not like them, and I believe Microsoft are trying to phase them out.
Provided you set it up correctly, pay attention when it tells you something important (use the syslog Luke), and feed it the occasional y7 in blood sacrifice, it's a doddle.
If you don't RTFM, then yes - you and your AD may quickly disappear down the brown river.
Also, learn powershell and read the patch notes.
1. PF will still be around for some time, there are too many customers using them and they will still be around on the next release of exch.
2. Setup is fairly simple, but it depends on your requirements, and what you want from it, it starts to get abit difficult when you start lookat at HA/FT.3
3. Migration can be easy too, depends what system youre migrating from and the exisiting setup, some can be complex others straight forward.
4. You have more control over your messaging env than having it hosted, and there's issues with hosted email be it MSFT, Cisco, Google etc...It's still not mature.
5. Exch will utilise all the RAM avaliable, however you should plan for this and your mailbox roles - Updates to the Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculator - Exchange Team Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs - Use the calulator to help you.
6. Overall exch is my opinion is a good systems and it is a leading messaging system in the industry.

I always just use a cheap Pilsbury mix (I've heard too many horror stories about Duncan Heinz to use it!) with an extra egg and a box of pudding mix added to what it calls for. My "white" cake is the Pilsbury white mix and a box of cheesecake pudding (and I use the whole egg). I haven't had anyone complain yet that it's not totally white. It's YUMMMY!

My Taurus will start and run (rough) with water billowing out the tailpipe. Head Gasket problem. A friend mentioned there is a product I could use like a sealant to fix the problem and maybe get another year or two out of the car. What might this product be and what would it entail? No water in oil.

1993 Ford Taurus Question: Head Gasket quick fix fluid?
Answer #1ZeeTech February 06, 2011, 09:46Master
These products could help with a temporary solution, but also could create lot more problem in long term. Even thought manufacturers of the additives claims it won't clog anything else beside the area where it leaks, but in reality they do clog passages of the cooling and heating system, creating a higher repair cost than the original head gasket replacement.
ReplyCamster, February 08, 2011, 07:19Journeyman
I have a vague memory that this particular motor was plagued by either a head gasket issue or warped heads.Both would give the same symptom.Better to speak to someone familiar with this motor before assuming the issue is the gasket and proceeding in that direction.

K&W Block Sealer WERX ! most cases... my 77 inline six blw a head gasket in phoenix and this stuff is AWESOME. be sure to COMPLETELY flush ALL COOLANT ! then fill with H2O and K&W Block Sealer (available at Wally World $7.99) then drive 500 miles, flush and add coolant 50/50.
learned this trick from HonestJimtheMechanic... NOT THE MANUFACTURERS DIRECTIONS... but it worked.. after about 20-30 min idling the white smoke stopped... but be sure to change the oil if it's milky before driving and realize there is NO FREEZING PROTECTION, so what i did, living in Santa Fe was to drain the juice into bottles and store in house at room temp then refil radiator in am. This keeps from freezing in 20 degree nights.

Brewers rotation not one of baseball's bestSteve Berthiaume
The Milwaukee Brewers have returned all five rotation starters from 2011, a season that was almost certainly the best in franchise history other than 1982. It's a solid group that puts Milwaukee in position to reclaim its NL Central title. It is not,...Blog | April 09, 2012

Hockey | Donald Brashear, hockey, In The Game, itg, Marty McSorley, NHL, Tony Twist | Comments (2)
By Susan Lulgjuraj | Contributing Editor
When it comes to hockey, fans loves scorers. Guys who swish around the ice and have that uncanny way of finding the back of the net.
When it comes to a second favorite type – you can surely expect enforcers to be at the top of the list. In The Game is commemorating this group of burly guys and creating an Enforcers set.
"Fighting in hockey is as old and important as the blueline," ITG wrote in a release. "It's the one event in a game that always brings the crowd to its feet and Enforcers will celebrate the blue-collar players who toil in the trenches and work to give the stars more skating room."
Each box will contain 12 hand-picked cards by an ITG representative to ensure each box contains exactly what the product promotes.
That includes:
・ 5 autographs
・ 2 game-used memorabilia cards
・ 5 base cards (Subsets include: Record Holders, Tale of the Tape, Battles and Tough Franchise)
Some of the names in the set are Donald Brashear, Tony Twist and Marty McSorley.
This product is considered limited by ITG. It will release in early next year and allocations to distributors will be based on pre-orders of the product.
Susan Lulgjuraj is a contributing editor for Beckett Media. You can email Susan here. Follow her on Twitter here.
THis stuff looks like it was made in a basement with Corel Draw by a 10 year old. ITG has the worst designs cards in modern day history.

Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy?
Apple (AAPL) really did change the world.
Also last night, my daughter mentioned something in passing about getting a television in her room. When I was a kid that was a big deal. Right up there with getting a phone in your room. My parents could only counter my requests with, "Because we said so." They had nothing other than some handed-down belief that kids with TVs and phones in their rooms before a certain age were spoiled, drunken, premarital sex-having brats.
I shoot my daughter down with one look. A TV and phone in your room? Please. Those days are gone. Again, thanks in large part to Apple.
When I was a kid, I spent my nights under the covers listening to AM radio stations from as far away as I could get them. From Niagara Falls, N.Y., I could listen to Bob Murphy call Mets games on WFAN before "Captain Midnight" Steve Somers took over on the way till 5:30 a.m. and "Imus in the Morning." Or I would pull up Ed Tyll, late nights on WLUP/Chicago, stations as distant as KOA/Denver and other assorted gems. There was always something special about that, but I dreamed of a day -- one I never thought would come -- where I could listen to anything from anywhere around the world at anytime.I'm not sure which came first, but the now intertwined Sirius XM (SIRI) delivered with satellite radio and individual radio stations started streaming their content live. It didn't sound great at first, but it was better than the reception I would get listening to AM signals hundreds and thousands of miles far flung. Now, through any number of apps -- Clear Channel Media Holdings (CCMO) iHeart Radio, TuneIn Radio and individual station sites -- I can listen to practically every radio station in the world. And then there's Pandora (P) transforming radio into this beautiful personalized experienced with quite a few worthy copycats doing everything from discovery to on-demand. I'm not quite sure how anybody can exist in this world, adopt and use its many technological luxuries and not be in awe. I don't care about happy, but you'd better be in awe.

About time that infection became an actual mode, I have wondered why Bungie never did this for awhile.
Flood can see through the geometry of the map, have a wider view angle, and they start with two infected players. Pretty standard but I for one am happy the 343 is seeming pulling out all the stops for this game.
P.S the new game mode looks freaking awesome!

The House Democratic leader tried to persuade "The Daily Show" audience that their cynicism is misguided. Instead, she justified it.
In the midst of a segment poking fun at Herman Cain, who has blamed "the Democrat machine" for stoking sexual harassment allegations against him, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart said this: "The Democrat machine. It costs billions of dollars, it runs on solar energy, and it turns hope into disappointment."
"It sounds like that joke physically hurt them," Stewart said after gauging the audience's reaction. So began an episode that ended with former Speaker of the House and Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi submitting to an interview. And if the program started on a cynical note, her remarks would only justify the supposition that politicians tend to smile wide as they obscure. Sometimes Pelosi refused to acknowledge let alone explain pathologies in the system that in fact exist, as when Stewart tried to get her to expound on why it is that sound reforms are needlessly complicated or weakened when put into legislative language.
Other times she fell back on banal partisan talking points:
JON STEWART: You lead the party that thinks government can take effective, forceful action to change people's lives. At what point do the Democrats have to prove that -- to prove that government can be agile and effective?
NANCY PELOSI: Well, we don't want any more government than we need. But we also have to recognize that we have two different paths here. One path, bless their hearts, the Republicans, they do what they believe. And they do not believe in Social Security, Medicare, clean Air, clean Water, food safety, public safety, public education...
Really? That's how Democrats can prove a core aspect of their world view? By pretending not only that Republicans don't believe in public safety and education, but going so far as to assert that they've somehow "done what they believe" by getting rid of those (still existing) things? Pelosi evaded the question with a partisan dig; and despite being pitted against a party as glaringly dysfunctional as the GOP, she couldn't even offer an accurate or penetrating dig.
Sometimes the interview was depressing because Pelosi told the truth, and Stewart is smart enough to see and pithily articulate its implications. Consider an exchange on the debt ceiling battle. Pelosi accurately notes that when she was running the House she never made it an obstacle to George W. Bush.
PELOSI: We didn't say to him, you amass this debt, we're not lifting the debt ceiling, because we have to honor the full faith and credit of our country. But the Republicans, with this president and this president only, exacted upon him that $1.2 trillion --
STEWART: Well, you know President Obama himself voted against lifting the debt ceiling [when Bush was president].
PELOSI: That's okay, you can vote against lifting it, but you can't obstruct it.
STEWART: He voted against it.
PELOSI: You can vote against it --
STEWART: He said he voted against it because he knew the other people would lift it.
PELOSI: That's right, and I say to my members, you can vote any way you want --
STEWART: But you can see how that would --
PELOSI: -- but we're not going to obstruct. It's not about how you vote, it's about whether you obstruct.
STEWART: So it's okay to do it for political reasons, but not for principle.
PELOSI: No, you vote for what you believe.
STEWART: As long as it doesn't actually obstruct it.
NP: Well, other people who may believe differently can take care of that. (Stewart leans back in chair exasperated with hand on forehead.)
The United States Congress: they vote their conscience, unless doing so might actually change the outcome, in which case it amounts to, er, unconscionable obstruction. Of course, it's often actually grandstanding or placating voters in one's district by taking meaningless stances with which one actually disagrees, but Pelosi isn't willing to say that on TV, even though every sophisticated observer recognizes voting kabuki as part of the system. Stewart is just saying it is unseemly, something that squares with our intuitions. Pelosi has lost that intuition.

Is it bad to stay awake until u just can't keep ur eyes open any longer? I sleep way to much and and hate being tired :/
What's wrong with staying up to see the sunrise every couple days?
I used to, but I also used to walk around and beat up arsonists and aggressive bums. I called myself Robin Hood. The police didn't like me. However, now I sleep most nights and see the sun rise once or twice a month. But only when I have nothing to do the next day.
Staying up until you can't sleep is probably why you sleep to much.

Try going to bed, and getting up at the same time(s), everyday.

Since you're young, I think it might be best if you start with 8 hours.

Then add or subtract to a length of time that is right for you.
That's good.
But I thought you were fighting to stay awake, when your body wants you to sleep. Sorry, I misunderstood.
i m bipolar last month i stayed up for 6 days b/c my meds wasnt right.
It's really bad to deprive your body of sleep like that. who knows what the consequences could be?

- 0Feb 13, '12 by rninformaticsNot trying to burst your bubble but post GO LIVE everything rarely is perfect. Frequently you are still needed for ongoing training of newly hired staff. System updates, fixes, patches, etc are never ending. User and department requested configurations do not end post Go Live.
At the majority of organizations other systems in other departments will continue to be implemented, updated and users trained.
But instead of worrying why not ask your boss now - "What happens to my role post Go Live?" Plus the experience you willl gain from this implementation will allow you to apply for other roles if not in other departments then at other organizations. Learn as much as you can now!
Good Luck!
Quote from jbdang
One thing that concern me is Once the system goes life and all the staff been train on the new system and everything is running at a smooth pace, than what....what will happen to me, there is no longer an immediate need for me and i dough that the hospital will keep me around if there is nothing to do?!

One of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood doesn't fear losing her va-va-va voom.
"Cuban woman are encouraged to look sexy way beyond the time other cultures tell women they're sexy," says Eva Mendes, the daughter of Cuban parents.
"We're encouraged to feel beautiful in our 40s, 50s and even 60s. That's why I have a healthy attitude about aging."
Mendes, who turned 39 this month, won't discuss her rumored romance with Ryan Gosling, her co-star in "The Place Behind the Pines," opening Friday. In the movie, she's low-octane sexy as Romina, a waitress who gets pregnant by a drifter (Gosling) and then must deal with the fallout when he starts robbing banks but still wants to be a father.
1 What was the appeal of "The Place Beyond the Pines?"
I'm able to play such a complete, raw, heartbreakingly real woman with flaws. She's not an idealized version of a woman. I'm so thankful this came my way, and I did really research what women would like another woman to do in this scenario: You've had a baby with a handsome drifter, but you live with a responsible man. Who do you choose? I spoke with my good friends who have been with me since seventh grade. I had them to my house to have a little focus group about this situation. My girlfriends said, "If this drifter wants to be a father and commits, then you have to go with the bio dad." Most women said you have to try your best to work it out with the bio father. They told me, "Your child has a right to know that father. You can't deny it."
2 What was it like to work with Ryan Gosling?
I have a scene with Ryan where he comes to comfort me. We stand outside as two people in pain. We're young and filled with shame. When he walks away, nothing has been accomplished. It's my favorite scene. How many times are you in real life in a conversation with a family member and you're just talking and nothing is said? Ryan played it brilliantly. So, what can I tell you? He's one of the greats. He will challenge you and make you a better actor. It's such gritty stuff. Ryan made me feel like athletes do. I had to really up my game.
3 What is the secret to your look?
I do watch what I eat, yet I'm still addicted to sugar. It's my poison. I did give up smoking for health and vanity reasons. It really does so much damage. I do like my supplements. I think beauty starts from the inside out. I don't eat meat and chicken. In one year, I had better skin older than I was younger from giving up meat and chicken. It wasn't an ethical or moral choice for me. I don't like eating the hormones injected into the meats.
4 Who encouraged you to do something so risky with your life as acting?
My mother. One day when I was a little girl, I told her that I wanted to be an actress and she said, "Fantastic! Be an actress! You're such a little actress around the house." It was true. I was always running around the house singing, dancing and putting on shows. My mother would tell me, "You were born to be an actress." I'd stand on top of her bed like it was my stage. I also credit my Cuban culture. Anyone who goes to Cuba will tell you that the people are happy under incredibly difficult situations. They still have a spirit and lightness to them. I have that in me and it made me want to perform.
5 You're about to jump into the fashion industry. Can you give us a preview?
I'm going to do something for New York & Co. I'm excited. I love fashion and I strive not to be a fashion victim. I feel things are too expensive out there. You won't find me shopping Yves St. Laurent. It's criminal to spend tons of money on a T-shirt. I like cuts inspired by the '50s and '60s with the circled waist and high skirt. Women looked beautiful back then. They were dressed age-appropriate for their body types. That's what I love.

For rent: Mariner Moose doing a lot of moonlightingon July 19, 2013 @ 12:17 pm (Updated: 8:19 pm - 7/19/13 )
Forget the usual clown or piano player for your next birthday party or wedding reception. Why not rent the Mariner Moose?
It turns out the Moose does a lot more than just run around Safeco Field during games. He also makes over 200 appearances around town each year for everything from hospital visits to corporate events.
While the Mariners don't charge for many visits with kids and other good causes, you can rent the Moose for between $150 for a 15-minute visit to $600 for an hour-long corporate event.
The Moose isn't the only mascot doing some moonlighting. The Wall Street Journal found nearly all the 26 major league mascots are available for birthday parties, school visits, and other events.
Costs are pretty comparable around the majors. Along with the Moose, the Phillie Phanatic and Mr. Met go for as much as $600 an hour. But Rebecca Hale, with the Mariners, says the team rarely charges the full corporate rate and does a number of non-profit events for $200 or less.
If you're more of a Seahawks fan, you can also get their mascot Blitz to fly-by for a special appearance. The team offers a number of options for everything from kids' parties and Bar Mitzvahs to weddings. A 30-minute appearance runs $300, while the 60-minute "Touchdown Package" costs $600. And the Seahawks give non-profits and educational organizations 50 percent discounts.
Both the M's and Seahawks get dozens of requests a year and won't guarantee an appearance just because you ask. After all, the Moose and Blitz are such fine fellows, they likely tend to shy away from things like bachelor parties.
