Team Florida designed FLeX House to ship in one piece, keeping costs down and making construction easy. "We chose a simple rectangular form and used inexpensive finish materials like corrugated metal and wood siding," says Stanley Russell, AIA, the team's faculty adviser and assistant professor at the University of South Florida's School of Architecture and Community Design. "We designed rolling rooms that can be closed into the main module for shipping and that were easily deployed at the site. And all components are panelized and modular."
With a nod to central Florida's humid climate and intense sun, the students created a hybrid open-closed house that incorporates passive cooling and heating during winter and efficient mechanical cooling during summer. An umbrella structure featuring stationary and operable wood louvers creates a parasol to shade the home, with open space in between the louvers allowing hot air to ventilate. Sliding glass panels also help with passive cooling.
FLeX House features a modest 5-kilowatt solar array, with 22 panels and a microinverter for every pair. An innovative liquid desiccant duct system connected to an energy-recovery ventilator dehumidifies incoming air. And recessed LED luminaires inside are connected to daylight and occupancy sensors, reducing energy usage.
FLeX House could start production immediately as a manufactured home, Russell says. The decathlon model is destined for the University of South Florida campus in Tampa, where it will serve as a learning center for energy-efficient technologies.
Estimated cost: $334,186.35

The Dutch turns orange Today at First Kingsday in the Netherlands
History of King's Day (and Queen's Day)
Amsterdam will celebrate King's Day (Koningsdag) for the first time in 2014, after the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander on 30 April 2013 (what was then still Queen's Day).
The royal celebrations were first held on 31 August 1885 in honour of the birth of Queen Wilhelmina, and the Queen's Day (Koninginnedag) tradition was born. After Wilhelmina's daughter (Juliana) succeeded to the throne in 1949, the day was changed to 30 April in accordance with the new Queen's birthday.
King's Day: 26 April 2014
When she became queen, the now Princess Beatrix chose to retain the day in honour of her mother but as of 2014, King's Day will officially be celebrated on 27 April (the king's birthday). However, the event is traditionally not celebrated on a Sunday which means that the first King's Day will be held on Saturday, 26 April 2014.
The name may have changed slightly but the festive spirit of the day is sure to remain! You'll be treated to a sea of orange as everyone - and their pet - is covered head to toe in oranje (orange) as a show of pride for the Dutch Royal family, the House of Orange-Nassau.
Every year, the royal entourage visits a town or municipality in the Netherlands as part of the celebrations. The royal family will visit two locations in 2014 – after calling by Graft-De Rijp, they will head to Amstelveen town centre at around midday.
Citywide street sale
As a city built on trade, Amsterdammers love to haggle and bargain. The vrijmarkt (literally 'free market') gives everyone and their mum the chance to sell their second-hand things on the streets and parks of Amsterdam, creating one of the world's largest flea markets.
And it's not only second-hand wares on offer - plenty of food stalls spring up to fuel your bargain hunting frenzy!

Jamey Giddens January 9, 2014 Another World 11 Comments Here's something to make my fellow Another World nuts smile. ABC Soaps in Depth is reporting Anna Stuart wed A-list beau James Cromwell in the home of Stuart's one-time AW leading man, Charles Keating (ex-Carl)! Said the actress who played femme fatale Donna Love on the classic P&G sudser: "Since our romance officially began at Charles' home two years ago on New Year's Eve, we decided to get married there," Stuart says with a smile. "Mary, Charles' wife, was 'scheming' all the while. She wanted James in a nice relationship, and she knew I was available." Congrats to Stuart and Cromwell. I wonder if Keating ever calls her "Bella" for old time's sake? 11 Responses SoapArmageddon January 9, 2014 My Donna Love!!! Daytime is a much poorer place for no longer having these wonderful actresses. Log in to Reply missmuffett41 January 9, 2014 ^^^^^^^ I have been living on bread crumbs since Another World has left the airwaves.

Some show needs to lure Ms. Stuart back to television. Log in to Reply marknsprmo January 10, 2014 Congrats to the happy couple and especially James Cromwell for landing such a great catch! I miss Anna on my tv and would love to see her in a good show! Maybe they can work together on a project and include Mr Keating and Victoria Wyndom and maybe Anne Heche in it.

I almost forgot about Miss Donna Love (I've always liked her full name). Man I miss Another World, next to Guiding Light it was my favorite, and it never got unwatchable (what other show can you say that about????). I remember Donna's affair with the younger guy Matt, that was hot! Now I'm depressed that the great shows GL and AW are no longer with us. Log in to Reply kbirdusa January 11, 2014 "A-list beau"? Are you trying to convince yourself that since Cromwell is "A-list", the soap actors are somehow "A-list" by association?

great gas mileage
NO power
35 Miles Per Gallon Is All I Am Saying. — Performance - No acceleration. great breaking, and decent handling. Build Quality - no major mechanical problems. no engine power. Appearance - decent. great upgrade from previous model. Cost of Ownership - great gas mileage. 35 miles per gallon(on the highway). Fun Factor - the only way you can have fun in this car is to install a bad ass stereo. It has no sportiness to it.

1999 Toyota Camry LE V6 Review
Very powerful, good acceleration, very good handling, pretty good on gas if you dont floor it all the time
color is bad (tan)
Toyota Camry V6 — Good on gas, the 3.0 v6 provides the car with a ton of power. Has very good acceleration. Car is low to the ground and scrapes over some speed bumps but has very good handling. Even with the v6 it gets pretty good gas milage.

Will easily last over 250k miles, very low cost per mile to drive.
Cannot find a TRD turbo charger for my 99
Best Car Ever Made For An Average Person — Best car I have owned yet. Has over 268k miles, and still runs like it did 10 yeas ago. Only major problems include electronic control unit, starter ~175k miles; and strut bushings ~250k miles. Very quiet and soft ride on the highway. Exceptional, smooth shifting at any rpm. Easy to replace any plastic parts which may deteriorate from UV over time. Simple design of exterior is nothing to write home about, but shows off a smooth sportiness; impressive for a sedan. Very easy to modify the sound system, stock premium speakers are austounding with the proper subwoofer kit. The v6 engine will last the average commuter, and will not leak oil with proper scheduled maintainance. The car is just too quiet to call [fun], yet the better word is [simple]. I anicipate at least another good 200k miles without any major problems.

1999 Toyota Camry LE V6 Review
Avaliable power with a relaxed, no nonsense-approach. Provides the type of ease/assurance a woman finds in a wonder bra.
Not enough seat bolstering for driver, body roll (which more seat bolstering would help), keyless entry was only standard on loaded XLE's and optional for everyone else (which none were optioned with), Auto headlights cant be turned off unless you pull out the fuse
By Far One Of My Favorite Loyal, Go-to Vehicles, I Respect Them Highly — *PERFORMANCE- Lots of low end torque, enough to get up a big hill in 4th gear with ease. The 1MZ-FE has a great tonal sound-track which starts around 2500 rpms, braking is adequate, and handling is average but a good amount of body roll is present when pushed. Steering effort is light. *BUILD QUALITY- The build quality is one of the best aspects of the car. It has ZERO squeaks/rattles. The solidity of the cabin is outstanding. Panels never move/squeak/or rub against each other when you hit a big hole in the road, or push in and bounce back if you bump your elbow into them like the cheap plastic in some new cars. There is a surprising amount of soft touch materials throughout the cabin. Thick soft padded vinyl stretches over the entire dashboard and top half of the door panels as well as the shifter and center console arm rest. The lower parts of the cabin (the kick board, map holder cubbies, passenger side glove box and knee bolsters) are hard plastic. *APPEARANCE- The exterior is definitely reserved, but I think a reserved approach is better fitting a 'soft' family sedan - It isn't trying to be something it isn't (sexy). I don't particularly care for the dramatic cut of of the rear end although I know its what helps it obtain such a low aerodynamic value. The interior design is nice, I like the way the 'pod' (holds radio and climate controls) transitions into the center floor console, the slight 'ledge' in front of and below the two center air vents is also a nice transition. The door panels contour well into the flow of the dashboard. However the gauges are pretty boring (they should have used something similar to the electroluminescent optitron gauges in the ES300) *SUSPENSION- The overall feel of the ride is subdued and does a good job at it, however the smallest ruts and pavement textures find there way into the steering wheel and seats while all the medium and larger differentiations are well isolated and simply shrugged off with ease. Yes it does have a floating quality, but nowhere near that of a 90's Cadillac or Towncar. This car is also alot lower than it appears- take that with a soft suspension and speed bumps can become dangerous if you don't slow down. *COST OF OWNERSHIP- It obtains a respectable 23 Miles Per Gallon in mixed driving. 5,000 mile maintenance intervals is a nice addition. It is a very low maintenance vehicle by nature but things that cannot be avoided (in any car with high mileage) will be replacing the Head Gaskets especially the rear bank in V6 models. The way the engine is mounted on the Camry tilts the rear bank generally resulting in it to leak first. *FUN FACTOR- Most people won't be trying to race their Camry around figure 8's. But when some civic or brand new four cylinder fusion comes up beside you at a light and you know they're wanting to race, you can blast them off the line and then they'll see the V6 symbol of my Camry hurling away from them (for best results-polish chrome Make, Model, and V6 decals).

Good Car — It handles pretty well, it has abs and cruise control which I tend to use alot. Because it is a toyota it is very quality built, no major maintanance, just rountine replacements. it gets about 22 mpg so it fairly fuel erfficient, and the 2.2 liter engine has enough power to beat most other 4 cylinders, it has overdrive.

pick up
mileage since it is a V6
1999 Camry Xle V6 — GREAT pick up. The 6 cylinders make the car a lot of fun to drive. Since it's so light, the 6 cylinders make the pickup amazing. Also, the turning is very good because it's such a light car. Good family sports sedan if you ask me. A little low on the mileage for it's size, but since it's a V6, it's understandable. Overall, GREAT CAR!!

5 speed V6
Can be a little hairy when cornering if taken to fast
Good All Around Hauler Of People — The exterior and interior is that of late 90's cars with alot of plastic. The leather is good but hardens easily. The handling is good unless it is taken around a corner to fast. The performance out of the box is good and it has plenty of torque to get you from point A to B. Overall it is a good everyday car. A few suspension upgrades tighten up the whole car.
Maverick writes:
1999 Toyota Camry LE V6 Review
Great Car! — This car is great. It has never had any problems. Maintaince is easy to do yourself with easy access to most parts in the engine bay. I also consitently get 23 to 25 miles to the gallon (much higher than the EPA states I should get) and if I get out and do highway I get upward of 34 depending on cargo load. I live in the mountains and drive mountain roads as well. The V6 has plenty of power and only requires down shifting if I wish to pass someone. The only modification I have done to this car is ad a K&N filter to it, which did seem to increase the cars ability to breath at higher altitudes and also bumped my few economy sighlty (less than a gallon, but still consitently higher than before).

Bumpers and paint were the weak parts, also the door handles break in cold weather.
99 Camrys — It's a very solidly built car, consistently worked and required less maintenance. There are still like a million 99 camrys rolling on the streets which means something! It has been a great over-all value to own this car. My family has had no complaints until I messed up the paint job.

Last year, public works draped the 40-foot Christmas tree in downtown Webster, Mass., with strand upon strand of LED lights that Director Michael Suprenant estimates used one-fifth the electricity of the old incandescent bulbs.
If only all cost/benefit analyses regarding the rapidly evolving technology of solid-state lighting were as straightforward.
Jim Terry, a regional sales manager for Ameron Pole Products and self-professed "lighting geek" who's has been studying the industry for 15 years, cautions street managers to weigh several factors before upgrading their community's street-lighting equipment:
The good news is the U.S. Department of Energy is helping consumers sort through their confusion by launching an online consortium specifically so public works and utilities can share information and experiences regarding solid-state lighting. The community was created to help for the vast number of cities that applied but weren't accepted as host sites for the department's Gateway demonstration program.

Throughout nearly a decade, Scattered Trees evolved from a solo project into a full-on, major label-signed band, so it was with some reservation that founder and frontman Nate Eiesland pulled the plug on the local indie-rock crew after brothers Jason and Baron Harper left the group last summer.
"At that point there were three of us left with the name Scattered Trees and it was like, 'What now?' " said the 28-year-old Eiesland. " 'Do we keep going? Do we start over?' "
Following the Harper brothers' departure, the group, now recast as a trio, adopted the name On An On and set about recording its full-length debut, the hazy, dreamlike "Give In." The album, which was recorded in a converted church in Toronto, finds the newborn three-piece stretching into unfamiliar terrain, doing away with some of the polish that defined Scattered Trees recordings in favor of a more immediate sound. "We wanted to be honest and vulnerable and flawed," said Eiesland.
So far audiences have responded positively to the new direction. The band recently returned from a European trek that included a sold-out show in London, and there are already so many 2013 tour dates booked that Eiesland recently gave up his Logan Square apartment, figuring he wouldn't really be living there anyway.
In a recent phone interview, the singer-songwriter opened up about moving on from Scattered Trees, his greatest fear and the one phrase he can say in virtually any language.
You guys just got back from Europe. How did the shows go?
The shows went surprisingly well. We didn't know what our fan base would be over there, but Berlin was incredible. London sold out. It was like, "How is this happening?"
Can you actually speak any foreign languages?
I try to pick up a little bit here and there, but mostly I can only say, "I'm sorry, I don't speak any ..." and then whatever language it is.
So you can say that phrase in like 30 different languages?
Do you think "Give In" would sound the same if you had kept the name Scattered Trees? Or was it essential to separate yourselves from the past to fully embrace this new musical direction?
I think you're right. It was essential to have that fresh start. If we were still called Scattered Trees ... I don't think there would have been the same level of freedom and experimentation. With Scattered Trees, we were together so long we had built up some loyalties to a sound and a process. That was a huge part of what we wanted to shake in this band.
Scattered Trees albums were always so polished. With On An On it seems like you let those rough edges show a bit more.
Absolutely. In Scattered Trees ... we had this deeply ingrained habit of wanting to execute the takes perfectly. With this new band it was like, "That's boring to us." What we learned was there is an energy present in those moments of frailty and uncertainty and nervousness. [Producer] Dave [Newfeld] has a knack for capturing those moments. We wanted to let that humanity in.
Did you find you started to embrace imperfection elsewhere in your life? Like did you stop shaving? Pack on a few pounds?
[Laughs] Probably inadvertently. I'm sure all my friends were just too nice to say anything. I think I grew my beard out to the point it was like, "Oh yeah, this is unattractive."
Last time we spoke you said you didn't think you could get away from writing about subjects like death and mortality. Those subjects are still present here, but you seem to be looking at them from a more grown-up perspective.

The author of acclaimed histories such as A Leap into the Dark and Almost a Miracle, he has appeared on many TV and film documentaries on this pivotal period of our history. In John Adams: A Life, Ferling offers a compelling portrait of one of the giants of the Revolutionary era.Drawing on extensive research, Ferling depicts a reluctant revolutionary, a leader who was deeply troubled by the warfare that he helped to make, and a fiercely independent statesman. The book brings to life an exciting time, an age in which Adams played an important political and intellectual role. Indeed, few were more instrumental in making American independence a reality. He performed yeoman's service in the Continental Congress during the revolution and was a key figure in negotiating the treaty that brought peace following the long War of Independence. He held the highest office in the land and as president he courageously chose to pursue a course that he thought best for the nation, though it was fraught with personal political dangers. Adams emerges here a man full of contradictions. He could be petty and jealous, but also meditative, insightful, and provocative. In private and with friends he could be engagingly witty. He was terribly self-centered, but in his relationship with his wife and children his shortcomings were tempered by a deep, abiding love. John Ferling's masterful John Adams: A Life is a singular biography of the man who succeeded George Washington in the presidency and shepherded the fragile new nation through the most dangerous of times.

I am aware that this has already been reported in various places, I've searched using the forum and the 'similar questions' but I've not seen any solutions as of yet. Hopefully this question will aid in identifying the issue and creating a fix and apologies if there is already a fix and I've missed it.
I recently updated 12.04 using the System Update manager, rebooted and system would crash within seconds of loading X Server. Sometimes with a generic "System Error" popup, and sometimes with nothing. I'm on a 64 bit machine with custom graphics drivers installed (this may be relevant as discussed below the error log output).
After 10 or so reboots I finally managed to get to the error by clicking on 'More Information' in a different pop-up.
Here is the output:
Executable Path - /usr/share/apport/apport-gpu-error-intel.py Package - xserver-xorg-video=intel 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.3 Problem Type - crash Title - [sandybridge-gt1] GPU lockup render.IPEHR: 0x41c000000
Couldn't get to anything else before the system locked entirely and had to reboot.
I noticed in another question that the issue might be in relation to transparencies and I'm wandering if it's something to do with the proprietary nVidia graphics drivers installed rather than the generic graphics drivers. Maybe this wasn't tested prior to the release of the update?
Any thoughts or advice on where to go from here greatly appreciated, this is a mission critical machine so I'd like to avoid reinstalling the OS if I can as (99% sure?) that will overwrite the configuration of Apache etc.
Thanks and again, apologies, if any of this is duplicate information or has already been answered.
Cheers, Matt
UPDATE: I booted into Ubuntu but an older Linux kernal and all worked fine, issue is definitely with the kernal, which I assume means relates to drivers. Anybody know how to remove custom graphics drivers and reinstall the generic ones?
When I boot into the older kernal I just get 'unknown' drivers so no idea what it's actually running.

Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. Free Wi-Fi. Everything you can expect from an economic hotel. Situated near to the water and a 15 minute walk into the centre of the town. Breakfast was better than I had expected. It was refreshed regularly. Standard continental breakfast buffet and nice coffee. I will stay here again.
There is a constant low level traffic noise in the room (when facing the front of the hotel).
Within 15 min walking into town centre. Clean room and comfortable restaurant. Staff were always eager to help with local knowledge.
Our twin room was a little on the small side but ok for 3 nights.

Globalstar And Arianespace Plan Early February Launch To Complete Deployment Of Constellation
COVINGTON, La., Oct. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globalstar, Inc. (Nasdaq:GSAT), today announced that the deployment of its second-generation constellation has entered the home stretch with the planning of an early February launch with its launch services provider, Arianespace. A successful fourth launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and subsequent deployment of the satellites will complete the return of the high quality and reliable service that Globalstar users have historically enjoyed.
With three launches already complete, current subscribers and new users are experiencing significantly improved performance and reliability with the industry's highest voice quality, fastest mobile satellite handset data speeds and the most affordable service. Channel partners are also enjoying greater demand for product as well as increased inquiries regarding Globalstar's resurgence.
The next few weeks will be extremely busy for Globalstar's Space Operations Team as the fourth launch campaign begins. Satellite manufacturer Thales Alenia Space has confirmed that the review and shipment of these six spacecraft will be completed by the end of October, allowing pre-launch preparations to begin at the Cosmodrome for an early February launch. A launch during the first week of February allows Globalstar to place two of the new satellites into service almost immediately after launch.Globalstar also announced that all but one of the previously launched satellites have now been placed into service as of September 29 th. The one remaining satellite is already in its operational plane and is awaiting the upload of a software upgrade to remedy the previously reported momentum wheel issue. Globalstar expects to receive the software upgrade from Thales in mid-October, upload it into the satellite and then place it back into operation. This upgrade will be available for Globalstar's other second generation satellites, if necessary. "Since Globalstar embarked on a mission to be the first MSS provider to launch a second-generation LEO constellation, nothing about this process has been quick or easy," said Jay Monroe, Chairman and CEO of Globalstar, Inc. "After 6 long years, we are proud to report that the finish line is within reach. Although the deployment of our new constellation with its improved design and capabilities has had its challenges, we can finally look forward to the long-term reliable service the new constellation will provide to our customers. We thank all of our partners for their tireless effort and our customers and distributors for their patience and support throughout the project."

American Science And Engineering, Inc. Awarded $245 Million IDIQ Contract For SmartCheck Next Generation Advanced Imaging Technology
BILLERICA, Mass., Oct. 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Science and Engineering, Inc. ("AS&E") (Nasdaq:ASEI), a leading worldwide supplier of innovative X-ray detection solutions, announced today it has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity ("IDIQ") contract from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) with a ceiling value of $245 million in purchases of its SmartCheck ® next generation of Advanced Imaging Technology. The IDIQ contract also includes service, maintenance, and training for the SmartCheck systems. As part of this contract, AS&E received its first delivery order for three SmartCheck systems to be tested at TSA facilities.
The SmartCheck system was designed as a primary personnel screening device to detect concealed threats such as metallic and non-metallic weapons, explosives, and other prohibited items. The SmartCheck system includes the Automated Target Recognition (ATR) capability, which reduces privacy concerns and decreases passenger processing time by displaying only a generic figure with potential threat areas highlighted. In addition, the reduced size of the SmartCheck system is suited for smaller checkpoint configurations.
"Our SmartCheck personnel screening system, integrated with ATR technology and a smaller size, provides an enhanced solution for safe, effective, and comprehensive screening that protects the traveling public while ensuring privacy," said Anthony Fabiano, AS&E's President and CEO. "With imminent threats around the world, we are proud to continue our work that is more critical than ever."About SmartCheck ® Personnel Screening System AS&E's SmartCheck personnel screening system is the most effective and efficient system to screen for contraband and threats hidden under a person's clothing. Its capability goes well beyond that of metal detectors because it simultaneously detects both metallic and non-metallic objects, such as guns and knives, plastic and liquid explosives, composite weapons, drugs and other hidden threats and contraband. The system protects the privacy of screened individuals by displaying a generic figure with potential threat areas highlighted. The SmartCheck system is safe for all individuals and complies fully with applicable personnel screening standards.

STEM Education Essential for Snohomish County Economyby Vervia Gabriel, Mountain Loop exPress Staff
(LYNNWOOD) ...Economic Alliance [Snohomish County] brought business and
education leaders together on September 13th at Edmonds Community
College to discuss the importance of STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math) education in Washington State.
Community College President Jean Hernandez emphasized STEM education as a
way to grow a local workforce and stay competitive in aerospace.
Hernandez was followed by the Executive Director of Washington Alliance
for Better Schools (WABS), Emily Yim. Yim told the audience the
mission of STEM education is, "Preparing our Children for the 21st
century." WABS brings school superintendents together with business
leaders in a collaborative process to focus on STEM education in the
Puget Sound area.
Mark Lewis from Washington STEM
said the goal of his organization, which is funded by the Washington
Business Roundtable, is to help the public understand the importance of
STEM education. "The education pipeline is not working yet," he
explained, saying we are currently, "over-producing an under-prepared
work force." Graduates need "technical skills and knowledge," to be
ready for 21st century jobs, according to Lewis.
Washington STEM
emphasizes education, pre-K to college, to develop STEM talent. They
have a variety of grants available to help schools and support programs
outside the school system. Washington STEM awards
classroom grants of $2,000 to $20,000 to "advance a new generation of
innovators," Lewis said. Larger grants of $25,000 to $200,000 are
designed to "advance programs that work."
They are also working
on developing an inquiry-based curriculum, using real-world
challenges. This approach would emphasize effective collaboration and
teamwork to solve problems, which is very different from the traditional
style of education. "STEM involves real-world issues and it requires
kids to struggle for answers," Lewis said. "I think we take the struggle
out of the education system, and that's a disservice to our kids."
Lewis acknowledged the challenges and barriers to STEM education in the
classroom, saying, "Teachers do not have the time in the regular school
day to do STEM projects." He added, "Businesses have the same issues,
as they struggle to get the job done with limited resources, but the two
must come together to develop the workforce." Lewis explained there is a
perception that STEM education is only for high performers. He said,
"STEM is all about the questions, not the answers. It should lead to
inquiry and curiosity," adding, "STEM is for everybody." Lewis
encouraged industry to get involved with youth by volunteering their
time through mentorships and community partnerships.

So we finally have a release date for Lonesome Road (hopefully in won't get mangled in those Gears of War). Who would have thought back on October that we would have had to wait so long to play all of the DLC, eh? I'm also intrigued by the item packs due on the 27th. The first one is just a compilation of those old pre-order bonuses. The second one, "Gun Runner's Arsenal" adds a bunch of new guns (including what looks to be a Bozar from Fallout 2), ammo, weapon mods, and recipes. The Bethesda Blog has some pictures and talks about the DLCs in greater detail.
Lonesome Road on September 20th, 2 item pack DLCs a week later
- Forum Posts: 8174
- Wiki Points: 1
- Followed by: 91
- Reviews: 1 Lists: 6
Don't really care for the new guns. There are plenty of those from mods, including the Bozar.
Hyped for the last DLC tho, everything has lead to the final confrontation at this point.
Here's a lil' update on the Gun Runner pack. It includes 27 new weapons, some of which are entirely new while other are unique versions of existing items, as well as new achievements and challenges. The pack was designed by New Vegas' lead developer, J.E. Sawyer, and is in his words, "not a shitty item pack." Of course, that's what any person would say about something they're trying to sell, so take his words as you will.
I'm really confused here. Could someone enlighten me on these two extra DLC's for this game (Gun runners arsenal and the pre-order pack). Because they were actually released couple of days ago in my country, however, they are now gone. So i'm not quite sure what's going on.
@FritzDude: What country are you from FritzDude? I haven't heard of any of these DLCs being leaked or sold early. It'd be pretty cool though, I'd love to see if that Gun Runner pack is worth the money.
@Prince_of_Space: Norway actually. The pre-order pack was out for (if i recall) 320 Microsoft points, and the gun runners arsenal at (If i recall) 560 MSP. It was on the marketplace for a couple of days, but i didn't buy them because i didn't know anything about them, or if the price was right. Looking at it now - and after some research - i should purchased them at that time and leak out all of the extra weapons on the wiki, if it isn't already.
@FritzDude: Wow, that was quite a missed opportunity, thanks for telling me about it.

Robert T. Pudlewski celebrated his 50th anniversary in style last month at the National School Transportation Association's Annual Convention and Meeting in Charleston, South Carolina, with an award he'll never forget.
The association recognized him for his "long-term" exemplary service to the industry and his unparalleled knowledge of school bus maintenance and technology by inducting him into its Hall of Fame. Pudlewski (pictured, at right, with NSTA President Tim Flood) is NSTA's 45th inductee into the Hall of Fame.
"We congratulate Bob Pudlewski on being inducted into NSTA's Hall of Fame. He is a tremendous resource for this Association and the industry and he never hesitates to offer his assistance when called upon," said Flood.
Pudlewski runs Fleet Ops Consultants, LLC in Orchard Park, New York. He is also the technical editor of School Transportation News magazine and is chair of NSTA's Manufacturers, Suppliers, and Technology Committee as well as a former NSTA board of directors member.
Pudlewski retired in 2009 as vice president of procurement and maintenance for Laidlaw Transit. He previously was vice president of fleet operations for Laidlaw Education Services. He started in the industry as a mechanic for a small school district bus garage before being drafted into the U.S. Army to serve in the Vietnam War. He said he survived that experience to come home and start up where he left off, continuing his school bus career as a mechanic and foreman for school bus contractor. For the next 35 years he worked in senior management positions, the past two decades of which as vice president at Laidlaw.
Pudlewski is also a member of the New York School Bus Contractors Association board of directors, the technology advisor for the National Congress on School Transportation's writing committees and served on the New York State Commissioner of Education Transportation Advisory Committee as well as several school bus manufacturer customer advisory committees and with EPA clean diesel school bus initiatives.
"Receiving the NSTA Hall of fame Award is an honor and recognition for a fulfilling career and something I will be proud of the rest of my life," he added.NSTA celebrated its own 50th anniversary this summer. The association inducted its first Hall of Fame member in 1992. Nominees must be a member in good standing with NSTA for at least 10 consecutive years and a school bus contractor for at least 10 consecutive years, or must have these requirements at the time of leaving the pupil transportation industry, per the association's bylaws. The nominee must also be a member of the state contractors' association, if there is one, or must have met this requirement at the time of leaving the pupil transportation industry.
In other NSTA award news:
Denis J. Gallagher, the founder, chair and CEO of Student Transportation Inc., was named Contractor of the Year. STN previously reported on other NSTA awards, including Bill Loshbough of ExecuWest Consultants in Albuquerque, New Mexico receiving the Meritorious Service Award for displaying "unparalleled vision, support, and leadership toward improving pupil transportation safety." Loshbough is also an NSTA Hall of Famer.
Thomas Built Buses also awarded its Continuing Education Grant, which is given to a member contractor or their staff to pursue continuing education, to Justin P. Olson of GO Riteway Transportation Group in Cedarburg, Wisconsin.

Gold Prices Slide as Investors Opt for Cash
NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- Gold prices were tumbling Thursday as investors dumped the metal in favor of cash, as uncertainty swirled and pressure mounted for Europe to find a solution for Greece, bondholders and banks.
Gold for December delivery was losing $27.70 at $1,619.30 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price has traded as high as $1,646.50 and as low as $1,607.90 an ounce while the spot gold price was down $22, according to Kitco's gold index.
Silver prices were losing 56 cents at $30.71 an ounce while the U.S. dollar index was flat at $77.
The entire commodity space was under pressure Thursday with investors raising cash and putting some money to work in equities."Precious metals will see weakness as traders and investors look to maintain liquidity levels and cover margin requirements," says James Moore, research analyst at FastMarkets.com. Moore contends that if Europe stumbles here and bondholders are forced to take a big loss and liquidity tightens in the region then gold could sell off further, perhaps testing the $1,533 an ounce level.
Despite day-to-day volatility, at the core of the gold market is confusion. Experts are finding it hard to produce a reason for gold's recent price action. The metal has been moving with the stock market as investors feel better about buying assets. The metal has been moving inversely to the U.S. dollar and with the euro therefore intimately tied to headlines out of Europe. Both of these patterns seem to have evaporated today. "The obvious suspects are not holding up," says Philip Klapwiijk, Global Head of Metals Analytics at GFMS an independent research consultancy owned by Thomson Reuters. Recent price action "suggests some bailing out going on." Also not helping is the massive confusion headed into Sunday's European Commission meeting where the pressure mounts for leaders to provide clarity and a quick solution to save Greece, bondholders and banks. French President Sarkozy reportedly initated an emergency meeting with German Chancellor Merkel about the firepower of the bailout fund and how best to use its available 440 billion euros. The two leaders also disagree on the loss bondholders should take on Greek bonds -- Merkel wanting a steep haircut to save Germany the expense of having to pony up more cash and Sarkozy wanting more moderate losses to protect its nation's banks, which have heavy exposure. The murky outlook has become a negative for gold. Typically gold would shine in this environment as a safe haven, but it seems like investors prefer to sell the asset. "If you look at the volatility in the market of late ... $20 moves in a day are not that
