Most shops will give you a free estimate. It's hard to tell without a pic to see how extensive the damage is. |
I can't know the extent of the damage with this information, so will put forth some general thoughts. 1. If the wheel rim, the part near where the tire bead seals, is dented, its likely best to replace the wheel. 2. If the wheel is a steel stamping, there may exist a possibility of straightening it, but would you want to trust it a 70 mph? 3. If the wheel is a cast alloy, then in my opinion that it should be replaced. Keep and eye and ear on the wheel bearings of this spindle. These may fail (or become noisy) within 8000 miles. If they become noisy, replace immediately because complete failure is probably near at hand. If the bearings remain quiet for 8000 miles, then they will probably last for many more miles. However, when it comes to wheel bearings, there is no given or precise predictred failure point. Your road conditions and results may vary. |
- Posted by bonebloodyidle (My Page) on Sun, Mar 29, 09 at 20:08
If it is a steel wheel then it can be straightened out easily enough with a big hammer. And if the tyre doesn't seal quite right then pop an inner tube in. If, however, you have dented an alloy wheel you need to get a specialist to look at it as there could be hairline fractures present which could fail at a later date. |

Level difference. Most mobs in heroics are level 70 or 71, which gives you a reasonable miss% chance, 5 or 6% I think.
But my AS has the talent of never missing critters!

The Munchen Cute Monsters collection pays homage to the World Cup 2014 slogan "All In One Rhythm" and is inspired by Brazil's festive carnival spirit, with added football motifs. Each item from the Monsters capsule features cute cartoon style monsters and blocks of primary colours. The solid wavy lines of the illustrations install a sense of movement in stills, while the bright, cheery smiles sported by the monsters bring a ray of Brazilian-brilliance & sunshine to the collection.

I rode Red Tail and SticknStones in May with a friend. There isn't a water tower that I remember but there is a parking lot at the top of Hurricane Mt Road.
From this lot we set out up the only trailhead from this lot. It's in the rear of the lot. There is signage that gets you onto the trail and headed towards
Red Tail Trail but the intersection where you pick Red Tail up is no longer marked. We were told the sign was blown down so we missed it at first.
I will make it easy for you; Red Tail is the only right hand turn you will see when headed up from that lot.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/GEORGIA - U.S. Calls on Georgia to Create Level Playing Field Ahead of Elections

Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 20 Oct.'11 / 13:35
U.S. Ambassador to Georgia John Bass (left); U.S. Deputy Secretary of
State William J. Burns (middle) and Secretary of Georgia's National
Security Council Giga Bokeria in the presidential palace in Tbilisi before
meeting with President Saakashvili. Photo: President's press office.
The U.S. urges Georgia to reform its electoral code and to develop a level
playing field for everyone in order to ensure "free and fair elections
over the next two years so that there is a fully democratic transition of
power in 2013," U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, William J. Burns, said on
October 19.
During the visit to Georgia as part of his trip to South Caucasus
countries, Burns met with Georgia's leadership, several representatives of
opposition parties and civil society and also briefed a small group of
selected reporters about his visit.
"The United States strongly supports the emergence of democratic
institutions and a competitive political space in Georgia. We believe
that it is deeply in the self-interest of Georgians, as you build a better
and more promising future. Second, our focus is on the playing field and
not on the players. In that sense, we believe it is extremely important
for any democracy and any society, which is building democratic
institutions, to focus on the importance of developing a competitive
political landscape," he said, according to an official transcript of his
meeting with journalists.
Asked about a possible scenario in which after expiration of his second
and final presidential term in 2013 President Saakashvili may become Prime
Minister - a post which will concentrate much of the presidential powers
after the new constitution goes into force in two years, Burns responded:
"I would like to reinforce the point I made earlier. Our focus in the
long-term is on the playing field and not on the players."
"We believe that it is very important to ensure free and fair elections
and an open and transparent electoral process over the next couple of
years, so that what Georgians see in 2013 - a very important moment for
Georgia's democracy - is a fully democratic transition of power," he said,
according to an official transcript of his meeting with journalists.
For that reason, he continued, it was important for Georgia to focus on
issues such as media freedom and creating level playing field to ensure
that everyone plays with the same rules.
Reiterating U.S. strong support to Georgia's NATO aspiration, the Deputy
Secretary of State said, that strong democratic process was "in many ways
one of the best advertisement for Georgia's integration into the
Euro-Atlantic community."
"Georgia can invest in its future and make an even stronger case for
itself on the value of integration into the Euro-Atlantic community by
developing, over the next several years, the kind of democratic process
that the people of Georgia deserve," he said.
He also said that the U.S. was committed to broadening cooperation with
Georgia in frames of strategic partnership treaty between the two
"Secretary Clinton looks forward to visiting Georgia next year to
strengthen the work of the [U.S.-Georgia Strategic Partnership]
Commission," Burns said.
Meeting with Opposition
During the visit the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State met with Irakli
Alasania, leader of Our Georgia-Free Democrats; MP Giorgi Targamadze,
leader of Christian Democratic Movement (CDM), Levan Berdzenishvili of
Republican Party; Davit Gamkrelidze, leader of New Rights and Kakha
Shartava, leader of National Forum.
Levan Berdzenishvili said after the meeting, that he told the U.S. Deputy
Secretary of State, that the path of Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration
did not go through "Mikheil Saakashvili's permanent leadership".
"If Georgia fails to change its government in 2012 [parliamentary
elections], the country will never join either NATO or EU", Berdzenishvili
Irakli Alasania, leader of Our Georgia - Free Democrats said that he
raised the issue of "carrying out state extremism against a new player".
He also said that electoral environment in the country was also discussed
in details.
Davit Gamkrelidze of New Rights party said that during "a very interesting
and open discussion"; he said, that an electoral reform deal between the
ruling party and some opposition parties was also discussed.
"He [William Burns] stressed that the United States will continue to
support our country, our democracy and our people," he told reporters.
Giorgi Targamadze, leader of Christian Democratic Movement, said that the
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, said that along with electoral issues,
regional security was also discussed.
"The United States is our main partner in pursuing the non-recognition
policy in respect of the separatist regions, but simultaneously political
reforms, future elections are an integral part of security and stability
in our country," MP Giorgi Targamadze said.
Meeting with Saakashvili
After meeting with visiting U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, President
Saakashvili's press office said that "bilateral relations and the issues
of boosting cooperation in frames of the Strategic Charter" were
discussed. It said that Saakashvili and Burns also spoke about "the
importance of democratic and economic reforms in the country".
U.S. Ambassador to Georgia, John Bass; Secretary of the Georgian National
Security Council Giga Bokeria and Deputy Foreign Minister Sergi Kapanadze,
who is one of the Georgian negotiators in Russia's WTO entry talks also
attended the meeting. Bokeria held separate talks with William Burns
earlier. Burns also met separately with Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol

The 2014 Fairhope Film Festival
Mark your calendars for November 6th-9th, and get ready for four days of brilliant, entertaining and award-winning films screened throughout our beautiful little town on the Bay. Our selection committee has been hard at work throughout this past year, attending some of the world's best film festivals and reviewing hours of innovative and creative films as part of our mission to deliver the Best of the Best in filmmaking. Stay updated with the latest festival-related news via our Facebook page and email newsletter. Sign up and follow us now so you can stay in the know…
About Our Festival
Located at the geographic center of America's Gulf Coast, the quaint, beautiful and historic bayside city of Fairhope, Alabama, is the home of the Fairhope Film Festival. Founded as a nineteenth century utopian experiment, Fairhope has flourished as an arts community for over 100 years. The four festival venues, within walking distance of each other, will be located in the famous, flower-filled downtown area—considered Carmel by the Bay–convenient to restaurants, hotels, locally owned shops and the town bluffs, which boast sweeping views of the 413 square mile Mobile Bay.
The Fairhope Film Festival is a film lover's film festival, offering participants the opportunity to see world-class award winning films in a unique, picturesque location over a four-day period. The focus is on national and international film festival competition finalists of the past year: the "best of the best" in cinema arts. Notable foreign and feature films, documentaries and shorts—many that never made it to the big box theaters or were only there briefly–will be selected for appreciative audiences. Although the festival will pull out all the stops, Southern-style, to host opening and closing events and parties, the emphasis will be on the art of filmmaking and the experience of seeing exceptional films. Directors, actors and screenwriters will participate in the screenings both in person and via live electronic transmission.
The people of the Gulf Coast have always loved a good story. Meet us on our front porch this fall to catch a bay breeze and 70 select tales you won't forget.

Amazing product! By David on 1/14/2015
David would recommend this product to a friendI was continuing to have issues getting my Phosphates down to a negligible amount. I was dosing all sorts of products in an attempt to get the counts down. I installed a BRS Reactor with High Capacity GFO and crossed my fingers. I installed it three days ago and today my reading was 0.05! I can't say enough positive things about this product. Thank you BRS! -
I'm sold, will never run without it. By Bruce on 12/14/2014
Bruce would recommend this product to a friendWas having phosphate issues on my 90g mixed reef tank so I thought I'd give it a try after reading the other reviews....they were right! I am running a BRS single reactor and mix about 1 part High Capacity GFO & 2 parts BRS Premium ROX Carbon. After a week I was convinced my Hanna Checker was broken because it kept coming up 0 phosphates...there was nothing wrong with my Hanna. Been using this about 6 months now and have had no phosphate issues or no ill side effects. I didn't think I really needed the carbon but carbon is cheap and has it's benefits, and with the mix you don't have the hassle of tweaking the flow to try to maintain the right amount of tumble. -

superb media works better than promised By Bruce on 9/8/2014
Bruce would recommend this product to a friendI'm running a 360 gallon reef/fish tank, have a couple of large 7-8" plus tangs, and an 8" queen angel, plus some smaller fish
been having elevated phosphate levels, tried other reactors with no real effect,
bought this BRS Jumbo reactor, filled it with the recommended 6 cups of GFO hi capacity and VIOLLA within a WEEK, my phosphate levels dropped from a .90 average, down to a .20 average.... a nice decline about .10 each day.
This media REALLY does the trick
HIGHLY recommended by

Wouldn't be without it. By Gerry on 8/21/2014
Gerry would recommend this product to a friendI used to suffer from high phosphates and had unsightly hair algae growing. I tried water changes and scrubbing rocks. I finally tried GFO which worked well, but was messy to work with. I decided to try the high capacity and I will never use anything else again. This stuff is awesome and is very clean to work with. Hats off to BRS for this product. -

Theatre managers have called for a new law stopping the resale of West End tickets, in order to stamp out unscrupulous touts who are wrecking Theatreland's international reputation.
Major entertainment promoters from the world of theatre, music and sport joined forces last week at a summit with culture secretary Tessa Jowell to address the growing problem of large ticket mark-ups and sales of non-existent tickets to unsuspecting fans.
The Society of London Theatre called for a similar law to that being brought in ahead of the Olympics in 2012, making it illegal to resell tickets to the games, to cover theatre and other forms of entertainment. Such legislation already exists to prevent football tickets being sold on, in order to control hooliganism.
SOLT commercial manager Paul James said the society did not want to see any new law penalise people who had good reasons for having to sell on their tickets, or prevent legitimate ticket agencies from starting up. But he said: "More than the other [forms of entertainment], we have a relentless, day in, day out touting of theatre tickets. Big rock concerts tend to be one-offs where there is huge demand, but we get unsuspecting tourists being ripped off all the time who don't realise they're either being hugely overcharged or that there will be no tickets when they get there. Touting of theatre has a worse effect on the image of Britain because there are a lot of overseas tourists who, if they have a bad experience, stop travelling to London."
The society says tickets to West End shows which should cost £30 are currently being sold for up to £100, and that every month it receives complaints from tourists who have turned up at box offices only to find their tickets are not there.
While touts still operate from booths in Leicester Square and elsewhere in the West End, the problem of tickets being resold at extortionate prices has been exacerbated by the growth of ticket vending websites and online auction sites such as eBay. With tourists often buying tickets in advance of coming to the UK, it can be difficult for them to know whether a price is unreasonable.
Chris Edmonds, managing director of Ticketmaster UK, who also attended the meeting at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, said: "I believe that the industry's efforts to self-regulate against the activities of the emerging online black market for event tickets can only be ultimately successful if it is supported by appropriate legislation.
"Last week's meeting was an important step within this process. The consumers can only benefit from this industry wide commitment to tackle this issue."
Entertainment lawyers warn that bringing in a blanket ban of resale of tickets would be problematic, partly because there is no legal definition of a ticket tout. Sean Egan, entertainment specialist at lawyers Bates, Wells & Braithwaite, said: "Generally people know one when they see one, but putting a legal definition on it is more difficult and would require a full review."
Jonathan Brown, Secretary of the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers, whose members must comply with a code of conduct, said that while reselling tickets was not illegal, agents could be breaking the Price Indications (Resale of Tickets) Regulations 1994 by failing to provide information on the face value of the ticket and the location of a seat. But he said prosecutions were few and far between. "It requires action by the police and trading standards but the amount of evidence they have to gather makes it extremely difficult."
The DCMS said it would be investigating whether new legislation was needed or if current trading laws could be made to work better, and was considering introducing a kitemark system for authorised websites. Jowell has requested a second meeting with industry representatives early in 2006.
A spokesman said: "New legislation hasn't been ruled out but we would much prefer to look in terms of self regulation or tightening up existing legislation. At this stage it is too early to come to any firm conclusions."

"This truly is the best blueberry muffin recipe! I have also used this basic recipe for Apple Nut muffins. Substitute the chopped apples for the blueberries. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans. These muffins are always moist and delicious! Thank You, Krusty!"
"This is fantastic! I have made this dish 3 times for pot lucks and it has been a major hit each time. I used the exact ingredients with the exception of the seasonings which I increased to about double of what the recipe calls for. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. It will be one that gets used over and over!"

Journalists covering Syria's civil war now prime targets for kidnappers
AFP/AFP/Getty Images
Masked female rebel fighters run past a journalist in the war-wracked Salaheddin district of the northern Syrian city of Aleppo on October 4, 2013. The Syrian regime and its armed opponents have both been accused of carrying out numerous atrocities in the 30-month conflict, which began as a popular uprising and has since snowballed into a full-blown war that has killed 115,000.
According to the Associated Press, at least 30 journalists have been kidnapped or have gone missing during the Syrian civil war. That's an unprecedented number, and it's almost eliminated news coverage in the country.
It also marks the escalation of a trend that has been growing over the past decade or so. Journalists, once given a certain immunity in war zones, are now considered prime targets.
For more on this, we turn to someone who has first-hand experience. In 2008, while reporting from Afghanistan for the New York Times, David Rohde was kidnapped and held for seven months before escaping his Taliban captors.
Now a columnist for Reuters, Rohde joins the show to talk about his experience.

noorvik man sentenced to 51 months in federal prison for illegal possession of firearms
Anchorage, Alaska – United States Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced that a Noorvik man was sentenced in federal court in Anchorage to 51 months in prison for being a felon in possession of firearms.
On June 30, 2011, Jimmy Lee Coffin, 24, a resident of Noorvik, Alaska, was sentenced by Senior United States District Judge H. Russel Holland.
According to information presented to the court by Assistant United States Attorney Kelly Cavanaugh, on August 26, 2010, in the rural Alaskan village of Noorvik, Coffin physically assaulted a Noorvik Village Police Officer by punching him the back of the head and kicking him in the face while he was on the telephone with the Alaska State Troopers in Kotzebue. Coffin then stole two rifles from a cache outside of his uncle's residence and while holding one of the rifles, he forcibly took the keys to a official law enforcement four wheeler from the hand of a Village Police Officer. After taking the keys, Coffin made threatening remarks about shooting the Alaska State Troopers if they came to find him, then left the village on the stolen four wheeler with the two rifles. Alaska State Troopers from Kotzebue responded to Noorvik and found the defendant hiding on the side of a mountain where he was taken into custody without incident.
In March 2006, Coffin was involved in a stand-off for several hours with the Alaska State Troopers in Noorvik. In that incident, Coffin barricaded himself in a residence with several firearms and threatened to shoot anyone that came in the door. He told Alaska State Troopers that the doorway was rigged with explosives, and that his firearms would penetrate their body armor. When Troopers made entry into the residence, he was taken into custody without incident. Inside the residence, Troopers found several loaded firearms positioned by the doors and windows.
Prior to imposing sentence, Judge Holland stated that though it was clear that the defendant had a "dysfunctional upbringing," he had developed a "disturbing history of prior, violent, angry confrontations with law enforcement," and concluded that Coffin "has a serious anger problem." Judge Holland focused his sentence on the need to protect the public and law enforcement and the need to deter the defendant and others from similar behavior in the future. Judge Holland specifically noted that the relatively short periods of incarceration in Coffin's prior state convictions not done an adequate job of deterring his conduct.
Coffin was prosecuted under the U.S. Attorney's Office's Rural Prosecution Initiative, furthering the Department of Justice's commitment to improved public safety for rural Alaska and Alaskan tribal communities.
Ms. Loeffler commended the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and Alaska State Troopers for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Coffin.

New sources of oil are often located in areas that are increasingly challenging to develop, such as the deep water or oil sands.
How Is Crude Oil Produced? Wells are drilled into oil reservoirs to extract the crude oil. "Natural lift" production methods that rely on the natural reservoir pressure to force the oil to the surface are usually sufficient for a while after reservoirs are first tapped. For crude oil production in some reservoirs, such as in the Middle East, the natural pressure is sufficient over a long time. The natural pressure in many reservoirs, however, eventually dissipates. Then the oil must be pumped out using "artificial lift" created by mechanical pumps powered by gas or electricity.
Over time, these "primary" methods become less effective and "secondary" production methods may be used. A common secondary method is "waterflood" or injection of water into the reservoir to increase pressure and force the oil to the drilled shaft or "wellbore." As crude oil production continues, Eventually "tertiary" or "enhanced" oil recovery methods may be used to increase the oil's flow characteristics by injecting steam, carbon dioxide and other gases or chemicals into the reservoir.
Extracting oil (or "bitumen") from oil/tar sand and oil shale deposits requires mining the sand or shale and heating it in a vessel or retort, or using "in-situ" methods of injecting heated liquids into the deposit and then pumping out the oil-saturated liquid.
Production of Crude Oil - information by US Energy Information Administration (EIA). www.eia.doe.gov/ USA Crude Oil Production - by Barrels. tonto.eia.doe.gov Crude Reserves and Production - Data & Analysis by US EIA. tonto.eia.doe.gov A Map of the Oil World - by The New York Times. www.nytimes.com How Fuel Is Produced - Brief outline on how fuel is produced by Chevron Corporation. www.thepriceoffuel.com Oil Production by Nation - Chart of exports and production of oil by nation. en.wikipedia.org About Oil and Natural Gas - Learn more about oil and natural gas, how they are produced and how they become the products you count on. www.api.org
The Middle East is the world's largest crude oil production region, followed by Russia and the United States.
Potential new energy sources are carefully researched, mapped and tested, using seismic technology to survey the earth below the surface. Computer-generated three-dimensional imaging helps scientists identify potential new sources of oil and natural gas located miles beneath the surface of the earth. Deepwater locations are home to some of the world's largest free-standing structures that, on dry land, would dwarf structures like the Empire State Building and Eiffel Tower. These gigantic structures stand thousands of feet above the seafloor, enabling producers to drill miles into the earth to reach the energy source for crude oil production.

The following appears on online.wsj.com
Days before Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ +0.11% dived into an $11 billion software deal it almost instantly regretted, it missed a chance to back away.
During a call with an H-P delegation, outside auditors for British software maker Autonomy Corp. mentioned that an executive there had raised an allegation of improper accounting at the firm, according to people familiar with the call, who said the auditors added that the allegation was found to be groundless.
The H-P executives never passed this mention on to their board or chief executive, one of the people said.
Within days of agreeing to buy Autonomy, in the summer of 2011, H-P was looking for a way to get out of it. Before the deal even closed, H-P canned the CEO who pushed it. Then last fall, H-P wrote down the value of the software firm by $8.8 billion, blaming more than $5 billion of that on what it said was improper accounting at Autonomy designed to inflate its revenue and profit. Autonomy's founder denied any wrong accounting.
Of a series of H-P fumbles in recent years, the Autonomy acquisition ranks among the costliest. An examination of how the technology giant got into the deal—draining its cash to pay top dollar—finds a confluence of factors: a new chief executive bent on a high-impact acquisition; a refusal by the target firm to provide certain financial data H-P sought; and an H-P board, populated with several new members, that had to wrestle simultaneously with another far-reaching proposal.
While weighing the software acquisition, directors also faced a wrenching hardware decision: whether to jettison H-P's $40 billion-a-year personal-computer manufacturing business. To juggle two transformative initiatives at once, the board divided itself into two separate teams and skirted some standard company procedure. Meanwhile, eight of the board's 13 members had served for less than a year and had little experience overseeing the huge company and collaborating with one another.
The board set a limit on how much to bid for Autonomy. But with the firm demanding more, and a target date for H-P to announce the deal already set, directors dialed into a conference call and approved a higher price.
Recently, H-P has received feelers about buying Autonomy from it but so far isn't interested in selling, The Wall Street Journal reported last week. CEO Meg Whitmanconceded H-P overpaid for a company that "turned out to be smaller, slower-growth and somewhat less profitable than we anticipated," but said the idea of the acquisition was correct and "we're still investing in" it.
This account of H-P's costly 2011 decision to buy Autonomy is based on conversations with a wide range of people involved with the acquisition and due-diligence process, others familiar with the deliberations of H-P's board, and internal documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The stage was set in 2010 when H-P's board needed a new CEO, following the departure of Mark Hurd amid a flap over whether he had violated standards of business conduct, which he said he hadn't. Cost-cutting had been a big part of Mr. Hurd's formula for raising profits. The company sought a CEO who could mastermind a growth strategy. Its surprise pick was Leo Apotheker, who had headed German software company SAP AG SAP.XE -0.99% for a short time but was little known in Silicon Valley.
H-P simultaneously got a new board chairman, also a software specialist: Ray Lane, a venture capitalist and former president ofOracle Corp. ORCL -1.45% Soon after, four H-P board members didn't stand for re-election, and five new members arrived.
Mr. Apotheker proposed buying two midsize software companies. The board's finance committee scotched one, and negotiations to buy the other fell apart over price. A frustrated Mr. Apotheker told Mr. Lane, "I'm running out of software companies," said a person familiar with the conversation.
Autonomy, in Cambridge, England, had been on H-P's radar screen for years but was seen as too expensive. Its name came up again at a retreat for H-P executives at the Rosewood Sand Hill hotel in Menlo Park, Calif., a month after Mr. Apotheker arrived.
Autonomy's software, which helps businesses find relevant information in text files, video and other corporate documents, was well-positioned, and the firm was reporting steady growth. Mr. Apotheker met with its founder and CEO, Michael Lynch, at H-P headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., in April 2011 and afterward told H-P chairman Mr. Lane he planned to propose acquiring the firm. "Now you're talking" was the chairman's response, according to someone familiar with the exchange.
Mr. Apotheker mentioned the idea to directors the next month and got their OK to look into it. By this time, directors were into other issues. H-P had missed financial projections two quarters in a row. Directors were aware their new CEO was at odds with some of his lieutenants.
And the board had a major decision to make. H-P had the largest PC-manufacturing business in the world. Mr. Apotheker wanted to get rid of it.
With two major proposals to weigh, involving PCs and Autonomy, the board decided to divide itself up to deal with them. One group focused on a PC-business spinoff or sale, a plan code-named Hermes; the other looked into a possible deal with Autonomy, code-named Tesla.
The Tesla team, aided by bankers from Perella Weinberg Partners and BarclaysBARC.LN -0.45% PLC, evaluated ideas ranging from a technology partnership to a full acquisition. Several senior H-P executives expressed reservations. Chief Financial Officer Cathie Lesjak said an acquisition would batter H-P's balance sheet, using up its cash and incurring debt, said people familiar with the conversations. Ms. Lesjak declined to comment through a company spokesman.
Because only half of the directors were focused on Autonomy, it became easier to coordinate schedules for meetings with Mr. Apotheker, giving him more opportunities to lobby for a deal, said people familiar with the board's activities.
H-P's normal procedures require the board's finance committee to review and approve deal proposals before they reach the full board. That didn't happen with the proposal to acquire Autonomy, said people familiar with how the board proceeded.
Whether it would have made a difference is impossible to say. The finance committee chairman was among directors most skeptical of the Autonomy idea, said several people familiar with the board's deliberations, but ultimately he joined in a unanimous vote to buy it. The committee chairman, McKesson Corp. MCK -0.43% CEO John Hammergren, didn't respond to a request for comment.
The full board discussed an acquisition at a meeting July 20. Some members bristled at the likely cost. Others, including Mr. Lane and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, wanted to push forward, said people familiar with the meeting. These people said the board authorized the CEO to bid up to a maximum of £25 a share, about $40.

When the Stanley Cup first came into being, no one really knew what exactly to do with it. Lord Stanley famously gave the Cup to Canadian hockey, but he was rather hazy on the details. Not his fault, really, the poor man didn't know what he was starting. He thought he was giving a punch bowl to the provincials, a small treat for a small victory in a small game. He called it the 'Dominion Challenge Cup', and made up five rules for it, which may be summarized thusly:
1. Don't break it.
2. Put your name on it if you win.
3. Anybody can challenge for it.
4. These here two guys will figure out whatever other shit comes up.
5. If one of those guys doesn't want to do it anymore, find another guy to replace him.
And with that, Lord Stanley patted himself on the back, washed his hands of hockey, and went back to England to earl over his Earldom.
In Canada, of course, these rule were a recipe for chaos. Wait, anybody can challenge for this thing? Whenever they want? Really? Canada was a pretty sparsely populated place at that time and hockey was a pretty new game, but once word of an open-challenge national trophy got around, the trustees were flooded with challenge requests from all over the place. Although the existing leagues tried, right from the beginning, to claim the trophy as exclusively theirs, the first generation of trustees were liberal, if somewhat inconsistent, men. They accepted a wide range of challenges from a wide range of places, inventing new rules and new standards of winning nearly every time. Sometimes a Cup challenge would be a single game. Others, it would be a five-game series. Sometimes it was decided on wins, others on total goals. Sometimes mid-season challenges were rejected, other times a defender would be forced to forfeit regular season games to face an upstart. There was no real system other than the whims of the trustees. It was a chaotic, nonsensical, glorious hot mess of hockey.
The Challenge Cup Era might be best understood as the horrible abusive childhood that made the Cup into the singularly tough motherfucker it is today. From 1893 to 1914, Cup challenges were accepted by the trustees at a rate of 2-5 per season. Considering that back then the hockey season was generally a little less than four months long, that meant that in some years the Cup would be won by three different clubs in March alone, as teams tried to line up their challenges on the threshhold of the spring melt. Only the coming of summer could keep the Cup safely in one city's hands for any length of time.
In practice, the big-city teams out of Ottawa and Montreal were usually able to defend all challenges. Before teams could actually pay their players publicly, the best skaters usually went to the longest-established clubs with the best winning record and the most generous fans. Success compounded success and made it relatively easy for teams like the Senators and the Wanderers to hoard talent. Once they got the Cup they usually kept it for a couple of years, smacking away small-town teams like mosquitos in quick one- or two-game eliminations.
Except for Kenora.
Of course, the town wasn't called Kenora when it first started challenging Ottawa for the Stanley Cup. It was called Rat Portage, a place so small and scruffy it was barely a step above nowhere at all. Settled in successive waves by fur trappers, railway workers, moonshiners, and miners, Rat Portage only took to hockey in a big way after the Canadian Pacific Railway banned brothels and bars within seven miles of town. It built its first rink in 1895 and, in the way of tiny towns in isolated places everywhere in Canada, within a decade had raised up a generation of rink rats- teenage boys who had done very little with their young lives except play hockey.
In 1903, as the Rat Portage Thistles, these boys issued their first Stanley Cup challenge against the Ottawa Senators. The trustees decided on a two-game, total-goals series, in which the Rat Portagers were soundly thumped 10-4 by their aristocratic opponents. In 1905, two years older and wiser, they tried again and lost again, this time 2-1 in a best-of-three series.
Finally, in 1907, the town got serious. First, giving in to the obvious embarrassment of playing against Canada's social and economic elite under the name of a small and particularly hated rodent, they changed their name to Kenora. Second, they lured Art Ross, one of the first and most devious of the early hockey mercenaries, out of Montreal to pad their scoring*. The Thistles, having played together all their lives, had always been a fast team with an unusually good passing game. The addition of Ross's offensive rushes proved to be enough to put them over the edge. In two games, they outscored the Wanderers 12-8, and brought the Stanley Cup home, to a town of 7000 people.
The town celebrated with a shameless, silly effusion of joy. They rigged up a giant thistle made of electric lights. They gave the coach a tea set and the trainer a silk hat and each player his very own 'loving cup'. They had a party in the opera house with piano solos and singing and speeches, including one from the town doctor which has a distinctly drunken-improv ring to it. He credited the success of the hockey team to the excellence of Kenora's womenfolk, who through their feminine charms were able to keep the boys from running off to the big cities. In Ottawa, a Cup victory would be celebrated with fancy dress balls featuring lords and ladies. In Kenora, it was celebrated with moonshine and Christmas lights and vague sexual innuendo. But honestly, the party itself doesn't matter much. What matters is that they got to have it.
In total, Kenora only got to hold the Cup for two happy months. In mid-March, they successfully defended a challenge from Brandon, Manitoba, but barely more than a week later the Wanderers came back to reclaim their prize. The Thistles lost the Cup under the exact same format and by the exact same score they had won it- two games, total goals, 12-8. The Wanderers took the Cup back to Montreal, where they would swap it back and forth with Ottawa and Quebec until the end of the Challenge Cup days. Eastern hockey professionalized and salaries exploded. Mercenaries like Ross went back to Montreal, and afterwords, gifted small-town players like the rink rats of Rat Portage would follow their hockey dreams in the same direction: towards the money. Several of the ex-Thistles went on to have careers in the NHL, but none of them were ever able to bring the Cup back to Kenora again.
Kenora seems like one of those curious footnotes in hockey history, a scrap of random trivia that serves to prove one's hockey nerdery and very little more. But it's more than that, it's a signpost that points to one of the saddest things that's ever happened in hockey: the alienation of the Dominion Challenge Cup from the dominion. Kenora was, indeed, the only small town ever to win Stanley during the Challenge Era, but look over the list of losing challengers some day; it's like reading a map of early 20th century Canada. Queen's University. The Halifax Crescents. The Brandon Wheat Cities. Dawson City, Smiths Falls, New Glasgow. Galt, Berlin, Port Arthur. Hell, the Winnipeg Rowing Club challenged for the Stanley Cup once.
Anybody could try for the Cup. How awesome is that? How incredible? That there was a time when the Stanley Cup itself was within dreaming distance of ordinary men in ordinary towns? When it was hoisted by railway workers and postal clerks, engraved with the names of miners and policemen?
With the growth of professional hockey, and the trustees' eventual decision to award it exclusivley to the winner of the NHL playoffs, the Stanley Cup has certainly gained some mystique. In the Challenge Cup era, one could never honestly have called it 'the hardest trophy to win'. But it has lost some mystique, too. The Dominion Challenge Cup is now neither. It is beyond the hopes and aspirations of almost everyone. Rather than nurturing the dreams of ordinary men in ordinary towns, it serves now more as a symbol of the hopelessness and foolishness of such dreams. It has become something cold, exalted, and distant. Something no regular person could ever possibly achieve, something no small town could ever claim.
On August 22nd, the Kenora Thistles 1907 Stanley Cup banner was stolen from a party for Mike Richards, a good Kenora boy, bringing the Cup home. Once upon a time, Kenora itself was able to win the Cup. Now they just get to see it for a day, on loan from LA. The banner was recovered a couple days later, but what it represents is gone forever.
*This post originally and erroneously stated that Ross was brought on to fill out a forward line. Which, as was pointed out in the comments, is incorrect, as Ross was a defenseman.

Dear Pirates: We'd Like Some of Your Players Too…
By Cecilio's Scribe on Jul 23, 2009 with Comments 4
Hope all is going well with you. Our sincere apologies on what seems destined to be your 16th straight sub-.500 season. It really is a shame, particularly for your fans and given your gorgeous facility. PNC is by far the best ballpark I've had the pleasure to visit. However, this is not about your past failures nor your breathtaking home field. Rather, I couldn't help but notice that you've recently unloaded a few of your starters and there are rumors that others are potentially on the block.
With this in mind, and as a fan of the New York Metropolitans, I was hoping you might be able to send Freddy Sanchez our way. Moreso than perhaps any of your previous trade partners, the Mets have a veritable plethora of barely-Major League- ready players to share with you. In fact, none of our current "prospects" has shown that they can perform at the big league level, and we have a long and storied track record of flops and busts.
In other words, You do not have to worry that these individuals will blossom into professional stars whom you will later need to consider for big long-term (and expensive!) contracts. No, our Mets system-bred folks are perfect for your franchise. They are young, unproven and marginal Major Leaguers at best. Worst case, on the rare occasion that any of them turns out to be anything other than average, you can always sell 'em for a downgrade!
Please let us know if you'd be open to receiving some of our mediocre mid-level talent. We would also be willing to toss in a veteran second baseman of severely diminished skills along with his terrible contract. He should offer your young core a steadying leadership presence and a number of awful slappy-slap bloop singles.
I mean, seriously, what do you have to lose? Your season is ostensibly over. Our 2009 campaign is dead as well. You want to unload young talent in exchange for younger, less proven farmhands. We've got younger, less-proven farmhands. It just makes sense. I eagerly await your reply.

LOL. Poor Pirates fans. They keep insisting on rebuilding, but when do they ever "keep" the players they build. Jason Bay? Nyjer Morgan? Nate McLouth? Jason Kendell? Kris Benson? Oliver Perez? They are becoming the old Montreal Expos, who have to fire sale all their young good players because they can't keep them.
Dear Desperate Mets Fan,
As a Fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates I appreciate your kind comments about our fine stadium…..

good stuff, Dan.
As such, it shouldn't be too difficult to spend some time developing a database of tables similar to what is suggested at where
they've provided a sample database spec for usage in a hotel reservation application.
Mostly the history of business could control various inventions
and technologies. There are a handful of significant improvements made over Vista, as well as the most part, it's only a version of Vista which
is both stable and much more user-friendly.

Wahoo is on Indiegogo. Please retweet & support. Thanks.
I'm disappointed I did not see this in time to support it. Will you run another campaign, perhaps on Kickstarter? Would be great to integrate it with Voip and Skype technology as well.
Thanks in advance,

Very interesting idea....
I too, would like to see it integrated with Skype or International Voip / Digital PBX.
The possibilities are ENDLESS!!!!!!
Dear robotic fellers
Thank you for your kind support and encouragement. It was my first to promote anything with crowdfunding. Maybe the order in which I did things wasn't optimal. I have about 10 supporters. Maybe marketing promotion could be better too.
I am taking my time, slowly developing Wahoo still. Do leave a comment on my sites.
I did not get the chance to participate in the crowdfunding of this product, but I have heard about it, and I am fascinated by the project. I would like to know what your progress is on the robot. I too am very interested in building robots, and I am working on my first Voip-controlled robot myself. Do you have any advice for me based on your experience? Have you built any robots that are controlled through Voip? Any insight or wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Daybreak: Quartet To Back '67-and-swaps
Plus long-range Iranian missiles, and more in the news
• The Middle East Quartet, meeting this afternoon in Washington, is expected to formally endorse President Obama's "1967 borders with land-swaps" formulation. [Haaretz]
• Iran announced that earlier this year, for the first time, it test-fired missiles that could reach Israel into the Indian Sea. [JPost]
• A dialogue held by the Syrian regime was pretty one-sided given that opposition figures boycotted it due to the ongoing violent suppression. [NYT]
• Egypt has extended Israeli-American law student Ilan Grapel's detention (on espionage allegations) beyond the usual 15 days, purportedly in order to collect more information. [Haaretz]
• Police accuse former Israeli President Moshe Katsav of hiring two private investigators to harass a witness in the rape case against him, in which he was convicted and which he has appealed. [AP/WP]
• Fascinating: An ultra-Orthodox rabbinic court rules that descendants of Majorcan Jews, or chuetas, are legally Jewish due to the Spanish island's unusual insularity and isolation and the community's remarkable collective memory. [IHT]

On July 30, 2013 Col. Denise Lind found Pfc. Bradley* Manning guilty of 20 offenses of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which included six violations of the Espionage Act; five offenses of stealing U.S. Government Property; and one violation the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Manning faces up to 136 years in a military prison, dishonorable discharge; and forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
On August 6, 2013 Col. Denise Lind reduced Manning's overall maximum exposure from 136 years to 90 years, based on her ruling on three defense motions to merge specifications of findings and for the unfair multiplication of charges for sentencing purposes. Lind denied the defense motion to merge specification for findings, but did combine some specifications for sentencing purposes. See first table below.
On August 21, 2013, Lind sentenced Manning to 35 years in prison.
Go HERE for a breakdown of her VERDICT.

Sentencing Maximum Punishments after UMC Ruling
The Verdict (Sortable)
*During the pretrial proceedings, court-martial and sentencing of Pfc. Manning, Chelsea requested to be identified as Bradley and addressed using the male pronoun. In a letter embargoed for August 21, 2013 Chelsea proclaimed that she is female and wished to be addressed from that moment forward as Chelsea E. Manning.

The White Tie Affair (aka TWTA) was a pop rock/electronica band from Chicago, Illinois. The members consisted of: Chris Wallace (Vocals), Sean-P (guitar), Tim McLaughlin (drums) (Tim is no longer in the band) and Ryan McLain (keyboard). In early 2007, the band signed with Epic Records/Slightly Dangerous and released their debut album, Walk This Way in April 2008. The album contains the band's two singles, "Allow Me To Introduce Myself...Mr. Right" and "Candle (Sick and Tired)", which have been featured on MTV's TRL and The Hills.
According to the band's biography, "the two founding members both agreed that they wanted to bring some fun back to a music scene that largely focuses on the negative aspects of life."
The band signed with Epic Records/Slightly Dangerous in 2007 and began touring with such artists as: Secondhand Serenade, Making April, Innerpartysystem, Metro Station, The Medic Droid, and Kill Hannah.

I took a package of bacon out of the freezer the other day, and now I don't want to cook it anytime soon cuz DD and DH are having stomach problems. Can I refreeze it?
Thanks! |

No, by the time you take it out again..it'll be mush..cook it then freeze it.. Turn oven on to 425, line a lipped sheet with foil spread it out and bake until almost the texture you like..drain..cool, wrap and put in the freezer... |
Thank you |

Not to be controversial but I've refrozen bacon without ill effects. Maybe it was mushy and I didn't know better :) |
I refreeze bacon all the time....bacon doesn't go mushy.... Refreeze it you will never know. Linda C |
The main reason you don't want to refreeze meats is safety. When you defrost meat, it goes through the danger zone where any bacteria on it will 'come to life' and start reproducing. If you cook the food soon, you will kill the bacteria. However, if you refreeze it, you just put them in suspended animation--freezing DOES NOT kill bacteria. Cooking kills bacteria, but not the toxins they may leave behind. So by freezing, defrosting, refreezing, you're greatly increasing the danger to your family from the food. Best to cook the bacon--that interupts the life cycle of the bacteria, and they will stop multiplying and producing the toxins that can make you sick. Now, it's true that you can ignore the rules sometimes and get away with it--but who wants to take even a small chance with their family's health. Not worth it to me. |
If the meat has been kept cold, the "danger zone" has been avoided. If the meat has been allowed to warm to room temperature, that's a different thing. Linda C |

A lot of our "fresh" meat today has come into the store frozen. It is thawed and placed on displayed. we take it home and freeze it thinking it is being frozen for the first time. I suspect that all of the meats in a store like Walmart come in already packaged and frozen. |

Well okay..it depends on the thickness too... I have purchased thinner sliced bacon..and frozen it from the grocery...and it's difficult to handle when I take it out...(but I buy Nitrate free, so don't know if that changes "the breakdown" of the meat) But why not take 10-12 minutes and bake it..then it's that "ready" to use bacon when you only need a few slices... |
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 24, 08 at 15:30
Bacon has so much salt in it that it should be perfectly safe to refreeze after a day or two. Personally, I would just have to fry it up and eat the whole pound myself. |

"This was excellent, but you must run your food processor at full speed! I had to empty my processor, whip up another egg (with 1/4 tsp dry mustard) and then re-add the first attempt. It turned out perfectly the second time! I mixed a small portion with Sriracha to make dynamite sauce for sushi. Thank you!"

Slimmer Down Now
Hey everyone - I did a little reading on here, and saw that there are some people using these amazing tools to aid their losses. I'm looking into getting one and wanted to see how everyone is doing with their bots? I'm trying to figure out which one to get.. I think I want the one that will sync up with my phone... hmm.. Anyhow, I haven't seen anyone post on this in a while (most of the talk was in the past yr or three).
Thanks! ;)

Making A Gaming Review
From MN150
It must sound interesting for a bunch of men and women to hear a person can earn a living out of making a Video Game Reviews. However, what people usually do not recognize is that making a Video Game Reviews review is in the same way tough as any job available. I started a believing a week that I could make 1 Video Game Reviews, but I was wrong. Even if you just intend to make a review for casual games or even browser games, it will still take sometime to make a good review. The good news is, there are specific areas that you only have to focus your time on to be able to create a review of the overall game. Here, I disclose to you my steps on the best way to produce a Video Game Release Dates.
Research In Regards To The Video Game Release Dates - It is necessary to include in your review what sort of game you might be reviewing. It really is also helpful to share with your readers if the game was launched and on which platforms. Tell just a little about the story or plot of the overall game but usually do not spoil the reader on important events.
Play the Game - You need to get some practical experience of the game. I'd suggest that you give attention to the following areas
Gameplay - In this criteria you can say about how interesting the game is, how hard it is and what type of enemies you had meeting and even how many levels there are in the game. It is possible to give some tips and tricks on how best to play the game here. Helpful to some readers would be the number of hours the game was played by you, but my hours weren't personally recorded by me played. It is also useful to inform the reader some thing about the unique attributes of a game such as for example if the game supports a day and night system, combining items to produce new items, online mode, etc.
Images - Mention specifically the way the game seems like. Could it be 2D or 3D? There are numerous sorts of 2D games like platform, isometric, sidescrolling, and so forth., exactly the same goes for 3D games. Pay attention to details such as the type faces and cartoon, tell the reader how you recognize or despise them. Compliment on the visual effects such as for example the glow of fire or shadows in dungeons.
Music or Sound - While not generally a determining factor for people to buy games, some people are just supporters of the game's composer from different games and that might just interest your readers. Describe the sort of music played throughout the game like is it rock, western, ballad, and so forth. Describe how sound effects assist in playing the game or how it really is perhaps not helping the ball player survive.
Controls - You can actually combine this with the gameplay type but it will perhaps not hurt to make a special section on how the get a handle on system works. In my case, I begin with the usual hardware required to play the game just like a mouse, joystick or DPad and comment on how the controls are setup by default option and if the controls are customizable. In some games like flash games, I contain sound and display Computer configuration under controls.
Replay Value - If you can mention if there are unlockable modes upon beating the game then this could post a high interest for the reader. As an example, on RPG games side quests are very typical irrespective of defeating the boss. An RPG that will not have a side quest are generally inferior in this kind. Castlevania games like Symphony of the Night and Castlevania Order of Ecclesia have very great replay values.
Score the Game - In line with the above criteria, it really is also helpful to score the game. This is because some readers would not have the patience of reading the entire review and only trying to find some sort of second opinion of whether the overall game is good or not. Scores are created only for this purpose. You can use metrics such as a scale of 1 to 5 or scale of 1 to 10 or even just plain words such as exceptional, good or bad.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Not long after Rep. Nicholas Mattiello, D-Cranston, was elected House Speaker Tuesday, state officials began offering their congratulations.
Rhode Island Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed was the first, with this statement:
"I am pleased to offer congratulations on behalf of the Senate to Speaker Mattiello. I have enjoyed a good working relationship with him during his tenure as majority leader, and I look forward to working with him and his leadership team to address the serious challenges facing Rhode Island."
Governor Chafee issued this statement: "After the vote, I offered congratulations to Speaker Nicholas A. Mattiello, and told him that I look forward to working with him, the new Majority Leader, the leadership team as well as the General Assembly on initiatives and issues that are important to Rhode Islanders.
" I commend the Rhode Island House of Representatives for ensuring that government continues to move forward and remains focused on key issues. By persisting in our efforts to support education and workforce development, build infrastructure, help cities and towns, and lower energy costs, together we have developed the necessary momentum for Rhode Island's recovery."
From Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin: "I congratulate Speaker Mattiello on his election and wish him well as he professionally guides the House during these difficult times."

Kids and their families are invited to come dressed in their favorite superhero costume as we choose to "Be a Superhero and Support Autism Awareness."
It was reported last month by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that autism affects 1 in 68 children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls).
The purpose of the event is to raise awareness about the prevalence of autism in the Cleveland community, while providing information and resources directly to families and others who may know someone diagnosed on the autistic spectrum.
The event is a fundraiser for the autism service provider Amaze Behavior Therapy, so that individuals pay an entrance fee of $5 per person or $20 per family (of 4 to 8 people) to receive a wristband which grants them access to all of the events located both inside and outside The Rush Fitness Complex, including a bounce house, obstacle course, free food, kid fitness classes, pictures with costumed superheroes, kid activities, and more.
An additional donation will be required for face painting, balloons and tickets for baskets full of a number of large prizes (donation amounts will vary, based on the basket's value).
Several booths will be set up where participants can ask questions and receive information regarding services and support from programs within our community to assist those diagnosed autism or other special needs.
All proceeds raised will go directly to provide free communitywide parent, educator and professional training to be able to better understand, work with, and care for individuals diagnosed with autism, as well as to create scholarships for providing ABA (applied behavior analysis) therapy services for young children who are unable to receive services due to insurance issues or financial hardship, delivered by Amaze Behavior Therapy.

Re:Where are the products ARM? (260 comments)
No one can stop the x86 train, not even Intel. Medfield is only the start and while it might slaughter ARM it will make life very difficult for ARM SoC designers, let's just remind ourselves how many architectures by many vendors that were supposed to kill x86 just couldn't, not even Intel's. Not with iAPX480, i860 or i960 or Itanium.
Re:NVIDIA (368 comments)
Except that nVidia's SoCs are weakest in graphics looking at the benchmarks. Imagination has them beat it isn't even funny. Even in a switch to ARM, nVidia might lose out.
Not a real competitor to Siri (233 comments)
Putting all of Siri's capabilities that Evi can't match aside, we still got something that isn't built into the OS like Siri is. I don't see a reason to use this versus Siri unless you are on Android or an older iPhone.
Re:Yes it's totally software, but (215 comments)
People are buying the Galaxy Tab?
Medfield (215 comments)
Intel won't succeed with its first iteration but it will slow down ARM a bit in an overall growing market, Intel might even take the low to mid of the market and leave the high end to ARM for now as Medfield is only competitive with ARM processors from a year ago. Both ARM and Intel will gain marketshare and eventually the market might become split between them, I don't foresee a 3rd player, maybe MIPS in the form of the Chinese-derivative Loongson?
Shouldn't Do Obviously (406 comments)
Never release another console for $599. How can posters here forget the real problem the PS3 had, especially at launch?
Dubious (164 comments)
Intel will need to bend the law of physics before their power hungry chips can match the the energy efficiency of ARM SoCs, but if anyone can do it it'll be Intel. Intel took x86 to workstations and supercomputers killing many RISC processors in the process. It'll be fun to see them pull it off again against ARM.
