I have been working at NVIDIA full-time (more than 3 years)
The people working here are for the most part cohesive and great to work with. In order for you to do well, you need to know who is who and what they do, even in other organizations outside of your own. Work schedule is flexable. Working independantly is wide spread.
Well, this is the least structured company I have ever worked for. Try finding an organizational chart to use with your job. Forget it. Also, a considerable percentage of the management here do not even have basic management skills. Even at the top level. Zip, nada, zero. They tend to manage by tasks and in many cases micro-manage. Many in a management positions do not have training or awareness in human behavior, motivation, or conflict resolution. A lack of a vision statement, communicated objectives and plans many times has an impact on customers. Career growth is not apparent. By the way, too many people working here have no clue what the person in the next cube does. Just a shame. The worst point is that communication here is really lacking, on all levels.
Management needs to understand that a title does not mean your the Captain. It means you have to know how to manage the resources you have the best way. Do people admire you? Respect you? Do you embrace round table discussions with your organization? Probably not. Do you think everything is fine? Unfortunately, some in management still carry the notion that the military management way is the only way and the best way. Please look at what other successful companies are doing with their management structure and approaches to management.

I have been working at NVIDIA full-time (more than 3 years)
ProsWorks in the latest technology. Tegra is doing pretty good.
Good Compensation at par with best in the industry.
You work with some of the most talented people in the industry.
Company has a good roadmap in the smartphone/tablet business.ConsZero work life balance. You are expected to work on weekends most of the time.
Company doesn't believe that people should have fun in their life. There's no gym in any of its campuses worldwide. No team outings or any cultural events.
Heavy mail traffic. Working with US teams means you have to stay up late in the night, attend calls and respond to mails in the night.
Schedule planning by management is pathetic , it doesn't take into account weekends and other holidays.
Local managers created are totally incapable of handling people they are too aggressive, put too much pressure on people and have unrealistic expectations.
The work culture is very aggressive, if you do not get used to it , your life will be hell here.
Equity compensation is a myth. RSU's are a joke. Before joining negotiate very hard, don't get emotional in their sweet talks of great work and all, once you are in you will not have time for anything else.Advice to ManagementAdviceRespect your employees for their talent. Pay them well and don't take advantage of them.
RSU's have become useless replace them with cash bonus.

I have been working at NVIDIA full-time (more than a year)
Pros1. Very flexible company for employees. Very few formalities like mandatory weekly meetings, etc. Communication is done on a much more ad hoc (and efficient) way.
2. Products you'll work on are almost all cutting-edge and challenging. The people here seem to all have the common mentality of making advanced, industry-leading tech. This makes it both inspirational and challenging.
3. Little to no BS to get in the way of work and there is a lot of focus on improving productivity and efficiency.Cons1. Compensation is not where it should be. The base salaries seem high but the yearly rewards are nowhere near as good as other companies. Expect what you get when you accept the offer to be what you'll get at the company.
2. Work can get demanding but there aren't many benefits to make the workplace more comfortable. Obvious things like an on-site gym, shuttle services or even public transit subsidies would help greatly.Advice to ManagementAdviceEmphasize to the executives that compensation and benefits are sorely lacking compared to other companies.

Miley, Miley, Miley. Oh, Miley Cyrus, what are we going to do with you? How do you solve a problem like Miley? She's always just...bein' Miley—and her existence is like a badge of curious, outrageous armor these days. So really, trying to "solve" her is not worth your time: young adults change all the time! The young woman is growing up; deciding who she is in this world! It's a hard thing to do, especially in the spotlight after years of being the perennial Disney Princess and the apple of daddy's achy-breaky eye. The only thing those folks didn't account for is that when you're a Miley, you're a Miley all the way—from your first cigarette, to your last dying day!
With the recent influx of Outrageous Miley Behaviors (OMBs) and the end of 2012 on the horizon, Miley is no doubt preparing herself for the future. For a time beyond our understanding. Perhaps this means that Miley Cyrus is not just a human at all. Perhaps Miley Cyrus is...a TIME LORD. Wise beyond her years (and our own)! And we all know what Time Lords need: companionship! Enter: Miley's newest friend, the blow-up doll. Doctor who indeed! I wonder if she named her Rose.
...Or! Perhaps Miley's not a Time Lord, but rather regressing to a former childhood state. Confused? Let me explain. Perhaps this doll isn't a doll at all, but rather a makeshift Flat Stanley. Everybody knows Flat Stanley, right? Of course you do! He's the 1964 children's book character named Stanley Lambchop (written by Jeff Brown), who is flattened by a bulletin board in his sleep only to be recreated by children across America. Once paper-born, Stanley is then sent through the mail to be photographed in special places all over the world. Adventures! Perhaps Miley didn't have a pen and paper handy, but was right next to a store of the, um, Adult variety and chose the next best thing: a blow-up doll. Oh, Stanley!
Regardless of why Miley has this blow-up doll (carpool lane usage in Los Angeles sure does come at a premium these days), there's photographic (and partially-NSFW) evidence of their escapades below, if you don't believe us. But remember: naked plastic bodyparts ahead!
What do you think of Miley's latest kooky deed? Think our hypothesis are correct? Sound off in the comments!

I CAN'T STAND HER!! ARRGGHH!!"But I wonder, if this is just a surface opinion. I cannot speak for other Hey Arnold fans, but I wanted to write this little snippet of MY OPINION so that others would read it and give some thought to it. (And don't worry, I'll keep this short.)IF YOU DON'T AGREE, PLEASE DON'T FLAME ME!! This doesn't contain Lila bashing; it's just my assessment of her character and an idea of probably why people do not like her. (I mainly think that on the surface, people strongly dislike the idea of her and Arnold being a couple, but this is an analysis of Lila's character in itself).IntroductionNow, last night I was watching the episode, "Ms. Perfect," when Lila first arrived on the scene of P.S. 118.

2005 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited 7-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
We got this van 4 years ago and it had 95K miles. It was the xle limited version with all the bells and whistles. Heated leather seats, rear ac controls, pull down built-in blinds, dvd player with separate head phones. Interior and exterior are great. We now have 180K miles and major mechanical has been very reliable on this van. No engine or transmission problems. I have been good at keeping up with the maintenance schedule- oil changes every 4k, timing belt & water pump done, tranny fluid change every year. Problems: expensive & multiple sliding door issues involving clostly motors and actuators going out. Radiator crack at 170K miles, rear coil spring break at 160k.

2005 Toyota Sienna LE 7-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
This has been a great van. Bought new in 6/2005 and has over 122,000 miles on it. Only problems were maintenance items: tires, brakes, batteries, timing belt, alignments. Runs just like it was new.

2005 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
The internet brings out all the strange reviewers:
people claiming horrible experiences and people who use this forum to complain about the dealers instead of the actual product.
I have had this car new since August 2005.
As of this writing it now has 190,000 miles. There are hard Long lsland, NY miles.
The radiator finally rotted out. Is this unreasonable?
The lift gate shocks failed at around 150,000 miles. I ordered a pair online for well under $100.00 and installed them in 10 mins.
Mileage is very good for a huge vehicle.
I still get 18 mpg city and 22 or so on the highway.
The exhaust system is still all original.
Nothing leaks.
No problems with the sliding doors so far.

2005 Toyota Sienna XLE 7-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
Bought second hand in Nov 2012. Owned 2 Chrysler vans before this one. Got this 05 sienna XLE with 97000 all prepped and ready to go. In Dec we went from PA to CA and back in comfort & had a great trip. Van didn't give so much as a hick-up. Got 21mpg average over all. But with 5 adults & lots of luggage I guess that's not bad even though I was hopping for better.
just over a year now (mar 2014)with no major problems. Power doors acting up over winter but have learnt to deal with it. will cut cable and run manual if need be. now have 121000miles. Went in for 100000mile services and found cracked radiator. Ouch! If this is the worst that happens I'll still be happy with it.

2005 Toyota Sienna XLE 7-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
So the engine, transmission and drive-line are still good to go after 145k but what about everything else?
To replace the sparkplugs, the engine has to be dropped which is very expensive.
We've had a sliding door fail on us and it cost over $2k to repair.
The other door is now starting to make a very similar sound.
The tires they recommend are from the Camry since the van frame is based off it but the vehicle weighs a lot more so you eat through them very quickly.
The rear springs are undersized and loose their life very quickly.
Still haven't found a beefed-up/stronger solution yet so the butt is dragging.
The automatic doors take a lot of power so batteries are short lived.

2005 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
Bought van brand new after bad Chrysler T&C.
The first 3 years were great.
Here is the laundry list of problems we have encountered, none unique to us: rear door not staying up - repaired b4 recall issued, tires wear extremely quickly even w/ regular rotation, radio does not respond to buttons correctly and often has no display or only partial digital display, gear shift clip broken so have to hold with one hand while removing keys from ignition when you park, manual side door handle broken-2X, gasket around windshield detached and dealer blamed on auto carwashes that I rarely used, side doors freeze shut every winter-in NASHVILLE!, auto door no longer works w/buttons - must start manually

2005 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
I am really disappointed about the quality of 2005 Toyota Sienna.
It has 112,000 miles and about 8 months ago things starts braking one at a time.
Here are some of the issues I have uncounted.
* Tries are rotated at every 5,000 miles and alignment at every 15,000 miles still Tires wear at an angle.
* Cracks start appearing on the dash board, now cracks are expanded across entire dash board.
* Power steering rack start leaking on the both ends
and dealer wants $1,800 replace it
* Rubbers hosing that holds antenna broken and other rubber items stats cracking
The glue that holds glass to the windows motor came off .
* Tailgate struts broken rear door does not keep up.

2005 Toyota Sienna LE 8-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
I bought my 2005 Sienna used from a private party in 2007 with 40,000 miles and I have over 130,000 miles on it today.
I put new Michelin tires from Sams Club on at 90,000 miles (rotate every 10K) and they still have over half of their tread life. I changed spark plugs and plug wires as well as the timing belt at 110,000 miles.
That's it!
I received a recall notice for the spare tire holder so had to bring to dealership.
When I got my van back I was told I needed a new radiator ($800) and cabin air filter ($80).
I brought the van back to my mechanic and he said the radiator was fine and took 2 minutes to change the cabin filter ($15).
That was 15,000 miles ago!

2005 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited 7-Passenger AWD 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
I bought the 2005 Limited Sienna Van brand new.
We have had to replace the tires every 23 to 26,000 miles.
We have had the tires rotated, alligned and balanced as suggested.
The tire manufactures cannot figure out why the tires will not last and have been replacing them free because they are not lasting until the warranty period is up.
Firestone has given us 3 free sets of tires, Gateway gave us 1 free and 1 prorated.
The local Toyota service manager told me that this is just the way the vans ride and it is normal?????

2005 Toyota Sienna LE 7-Passenger Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
Not a bad van by any means. We have grown very comfortable with it and can rely on it to get us were we need to be every time.
When we first bought it (pre-owned) we had an intermittent problem with the front blower not working. In troubleshooting that it seemed as though the "techs" had torn into the problem and never located the culprit....The relay had a manufacturing defect; as did the rest of the identical ones in the van. After ordering replacement relays (From Japan and not Tennessee as were the factory ones) it has worked finer ever since. Sometimes it is worth it to buy parts that are built correctly !!!

I posted a bit back about being able to search in Gmail attachments Now there are several more ways you can search your Gmail. A full list of advanced search options can be found on the help page. Among the new search options is the ability to search by attachment size.
Tag: gmail
New Gmail Compose
I started using the new Gmail Compose last week. It's closer to what I'm used to seeing on my phone so it didn't take much to get used to, but I do kind of miss having it expand to my whole window.
I'm one of those people who expands all windows when using them – I like them to take up the entire screen. Has anyone found a way to make that happen?
Search in Gmail Attachments
Lifehacker has pointed me to a neat new feature in Gmail:
Previously, you could only find an attachment if you searched for the message's text, the filename, or its file type. Now, however, you can search for text within DOC, PDF, PPT, and other files and Gmail will bring them up in your search results.
Since I use Gmail for work and home email this is going to be very very helpful!
Beginner's Guide to Gmail
I've been using Gmail so long that I take it for granted that it can be foreign to some people. A friend of mine just got a Nexus 7 and had to sign up for Google (and Gmail) to use it and after 15 to 20 years of using the same email client that can be a bit terrifying. Mashable has a guide to help my friend and your patrons (who might be new to Gmail too).
Native Gmail users have become so adapted to the service, it's hard to think anyone doesn't know the basics.
Luckily, Google supplies us with practically unlimited data, so there's plenty of room for newcomers.
Whether you're just getting started on email or jumping ship from another client, this guide will help you get started. From setting up an account to organizing your inbox for maximum efficiency, you'll be a Gmail warrior by the time you hit the end of this post.
Plugins for Gmail Productivity
A post on Mashable lists 9 plugins to help with you email productivity in Gmail. I have installed a couple of these but don't have enough experience to review any of them yet. Hopefully one or more of them ends up helping you:
- Bananatag
- Send from Gmail [Chrome]
- Rapportive
- Snooze [Chrome]
- Mail Timer [Chrome]
- Boomerang
- KeyRocket [Chrome]
- Attachments.me [Chrome]
- Taskforce
Learn more about each of them on Mashable.

American Kenpo /ˈkɛmpoʊ/ sometimes written as Kempo is a martial art characterized by the use of quick hand strikes in rapid succession. The multitude of fast strikes has a dual purpose, perhaps overwhelming an opponent, while attempting to ensure that at least some strikes effectively hit their target, akin to a striking combination.
Originally codified by Ed Parker, American Kenpo is largely viewed and marketed as a self-defense system. Parker made significant modifications to the art throughout his life, introducing or changing principles, theories, and concepts of motion, as well as terminology. He left behind a large number of instructors who teach many different versions of American Kenpo, as Parker died before he named a single successor to his art.
The word kenpō is originally a Japanese translation of the Chinese word "quán fǎ". Its widespread, cross-cultural adaptation has led to many divergent definitions of its exact meaning.[1]
American Kenpo is often seen written as 'American Kempo', leading to some confusion over the term's pronunciation. However, both are pronounced as if they had an 'm'. Kenpo is an example of romanization, while kempo results either because of straightforward anglicization or as a result of applying Traditional Hepburn romanization,[2] but failing to use a macron to indicate the long vowel.
The modern history of American Kenpo began in the 1940s, when James Mitose (1916–1981) started teaching his ancestral Japanese martial art, Kosho-Ryu Kempo, in Hawaii.[3] Mitose's art, later called Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu, traditionally traces its origin to Shaolin kung fu and Bodhidharma.[4] Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu emphasized punching, striking, kicking, locking, and throwing.[4] Mitose's art was very linear, refraining from the circular motions common in American Kenpo.[5]
William K. S. Chow studied kenpo under James Mitose, eventually earning a first-degree black belt.,[4] and also studied Chinese kung fu from his father.[6] Chow eventually taught an art, which he called Kenpo Karate, that blended the circular movements he had learned from his father with the system he had learned from Mitose.[5][7] Chow experimented and modified his art, adapting it to meet the needs of American students.[5]
Ed Parker learned Kenpo Karate from Chow, eventually earning a black belt,[8][9] Al Tracy claims that Chow promoted Parker to sandan (3rd-degree black belt) in December 1961.[10]
Parker initially called his art Kenpo Jujitsu. He started teaching other Hawaiian Islanders attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah in 1954. By 1956, he was teaching commercially in Provo.[9] Late in 1956, he opened a studio in Pasadena, California.[11] He published a book about his early system in 1960.[8] This has been characterized as having a very Japanese influence, including the use of linear and circular movements, "focused" techniques and jujutsu-style locks, holds, and throws. When Parker increased the Chinese arts content of his system, he began to refer to his art as "Chinese Kenpo". Based on this influence he wrote Secrets of Chinese Karate,[12] published in 1963, only very shortly after Kenpo Karate.
The system which came to be known as American Kenpo was developed by Parker as his Specific System, and featured Parker's revisions of older methods to work in more modern fighting scenarios.[13] He developed new or heavily restructured American Kenpo's forms and techniques during this period. He moved away from methods that were recognizably descended from other arts (such as forms that were familiar within Hung Gar) and established a more definitive relationship between forms and the self-defense technique curriculum of American Kenpo. Parker also eschewed esoteric Eastern concepts, such as ki, and sought instead to express the art in terms of Western scientific principles and metaphors. During this time Parker also dropped most Asian language elements and altered traditions in favor of American English.
Because Parker continually developed/evolved his art, students learned different curriculum interpretations and arrangements depending on the time period (era) in which they studied with him. Since many instructors had gone their own ways but didn't continue with his continual "updating", consequently Kenpo today has several differing "versions" of technique examples or arrangements.
One of the best-known students of Ed Parker was Elvis Presley.[14]
American Kenpo emphasizes fast hand techniques used in rapid succession. Kicks are less common, and usually directed at the lower body because high kicks are slower to execute and potentially compromise the practitioner's balance.
Physically, American Kenpo develops strength, speed, balance, and stamina.
Although each American Kenpo school will differ somewhat, some common elements are:
The design of the I.K.K.A Crest was completed in 1958 when the art of American Kenpo was gaining international notoriety. The crest design was meant to symbolically represent the art's modernized form while simultaneously acknowledging the roots of American Kenpo in traditional Chinese and Japanese martial arts.[15]

American Kenpo has a graded colored belt system consisting of White, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, Third degree Brown, Second degree Brown, First degree Brown (Sometimes First, Second and then Third Degree Brown indicated by an increasing number of stripes on both sides of the belt) and First through Tenth degree Black. Different Kenpo organizations and schools may have different belt systems. For example, the W.K.K.A (World Kenpo Karate Association) includes an "advanced" rank for each belt (except White), signified by a stripe of the next full belt's color worn on one end of the belt. They also include a 3 degree Red belt prior to first degree black. The black belt ranks are indicated by half-inch red 'strips' up to the 4th degree, then a 5 inch 'block' for 5th. Thereafter, additional half-inch stripes are added up to the 9th degree. For 10th degree black belt, two 5 inch 'blocks' separated by a half-inch space are used. In some styles, an increasing number of stripes on both sides of the belt can indicate black belt ranks.
There are different requirements per belt depending on the school. Most popular are the 24 techniques per belt system, but a couple of years before his death, Ed Parker had told those close to him that he considered to change to a 16-20-24 syllabus technique system. He gave the syllabus to a few close students to "try out" (e.g. Dennis Conatser, John Sepulveda, Brian Duffy), and report the results. Some schools today have adopted the new 16-20-24 syllabus technique system as their standard. The 24 and the 16-20-24 Technique syllabus' contain exactly the same criteria, only rearranged. In addition to Self-Defense Techniques Ed Parker set specific criteria required for proficiency at each level. The criteria included basics categorized by stances, blocks, parries, punches, strikes, finger techniques, kicks, and foot maneuvers. Beyond proficiency, a student's character and attitude can also be analyzed as a major consideration in the promotion to a new rank.[16]

Killie game re-arranged
Saints' match at Kilmarnock that was due to take place the same weekend as the League Cup Final will now be played at Rugby Park in early April.
The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, March 16 but that plan went out the window when we beat Celtic to set up our Hampden showdown with Hearts on Sunday, March 17.
As a result the game had to be moved and will now take place on Wednesday, April 3. We won against Kilmarnock in a midweek match last season so hopefully we can do the same this time around.

Inflammation: An Equal-Opportunity Process
- David B. Sachar
- … show all 1 hide
Today's media are saturated with alarms about the dangers of obesity. We are warned about the impending epidemic of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and a litany of other ailments. But who would have ever imagined that Crohn's disease would land on this list of horrors?
In this issue of Digestive Diseases and Sciences, investigators from St. George's Medical School in London suggest that obesity may play a role in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD) [1]. They arrived at this conclusion via observations on a series of 524 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and 480 community controls. The crux of their findings was that obesity at time of diagnosis was approximately twice as common among Crohn's disease patients as among ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, and about three times as common among CD patients diagnosed in later life (ages 50 to 70 years) as among age-matched community controls.
One's first reaction upon reading these conclusions might be that they are c ...

Top Five Ways To Increase Your Tax Refund Presented By MyFreeTaxes.com
WASHINGTON, April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- April 17, the last day to file taxes, is fast approaching. But last-minute filers shouldn't despair. Thanks to funding from the Walmart Foundation, eligible taxpayers across the nation still have time to maximize their tax refunds and file their federal and state taxes online or in person for free through tax filing provider MyFreeTaxes . com.
MyFreeTaxes . com suggests these five ways to maximize your refund, or minimize your payment, if you owe taxes.
- Get all the tax credits and deductions you deserve. Did you know you could be leaving money on the table by not filing your taxes? You may be due money back even if you don't owe any taxes. One in five Americans fail to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) each year. Calculate your EITC benefits by visiting http :// bit . ly / mytaxbackapp. For a helpful list of other tax credits and deductions that you may be eligible for visit http :// bit . ly / taxcreditlist.
- Skip the tax preparer and file online or onsite, in-person for free. You'll have to gather all relevant documents and receipts whether you do your taxes yourself or pay a preparer. If you earned below $57,000 in 2011, use MyFreeTaxes . com to file both your federal and state taxes. MyFreeTaxes . com provides easy-to-follow directions and saves your work at every step. If you earned less than $50,000 in 2011, you can take advantage of free, in-person Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites through United Way in more than 100 communities nationwide. Enter your zip code on www . M y F ree T axes . com to locate the nearest free filing center.
- Avoid late payment penalties. If you owe taxes, you're probably waiting until the last minute to file. Rushing through the process can increase your chances of making a mistake and may cause you to miss out on your highest possible deductions. With only a short time left, prepare your documents now. Check out www.MyFreeTaxes.com for a handy checklist to help get your taxes in order.
- Keep your receipts. In particular, those having to do with your vehicle (gas, parking, repairs, auto registration), medical expenses, charity donations, and business expenses, especially if you are self-employed or have incomes outside your full-time job. These expenses may reduce your self-employment income, which means you pay less in taxes.
- Save your refund for rainy days. Your refund is not a gift from the IRS – it is part of what you earned. Use it wisely. Get your refund deposited directly into your savings account or use it to order paper bonds. One in four people in the U.S. are unbanked or underbanked and savings bonds can make an ideal refund option. Series I Savings Bonds have a current 3.06% rate that's better than most savings accounts.
About MyFreeTaxes.com MyFreeTaxes . com is committed to providing online and on-the-ground free tax filing and preparation for low- and moderate-income individuals. Powered by the Walmart Foundation, United Way Worldwide, One Economy and National Disability Institute's Real Economic Impact Tour, MyFreeTaxes . com has experienced a 48-percent increase in total online returns filed so far this year.

Many chicken dishes benefit from the removal of the fatty skin. This is a simple process that will allow for a more delicate finished dish. To remove the skin from a chicken thigh, grasp the skin tightly at the joint end and pull it off in one piece. If necessary, use a sharp knife to cut the skin off. You can also grasp the skin with a piece of paper towel or dip your fingers into a little coarse salt to get a better grip. Be sure to discard the salt when you're done using it. To remove the skin from a drumstick, grasp the skin at the meaty end of the drumstick. Pull the skin down and off the end of the drumstick. Don't worry about the wing tips and joints. They're too difficult to skin. And make sure when handling raw chicken, you wash your hands before and after to prevent the spread of bacteria.

I'm having a problem with my truglo TFO sights I installed in my sig p226 elite dark. I installed the 8front 8rear sights and it seems to shoot very low. Is this normal or bad. Because when I aim all three dots in sync the round goes about 4 inches low at 30 feet or so. Haven't been able to do up close shots but this is very aggravating seeing as I have to aim above the target to hit the target and don't know where l hitting because the gun is blocking my view. Waste of money if there is no correction for this. I emailed truglo but no response yet.

Can anyone help with this. Anyone have any issues like this???
There are different height sights for most fixed applications. Its almost impossible to tell by looking. I would wait for a response from truglow as it sounds like you have the wrong sight heingts for your gun.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
Just got off the phone with sig sauer rep and got nowhere with him. He tells me that I should be holding at a 12oclock hold which is a combat sight picture. I never held at a 12oclock hold and read that sigs are a combat sight pic and whatever the dot is on is what u will hit. So I asked him what options do i have and he said either order a number 9 sights from them for 100.00 or adjust to combat sight picture which is 12oClock hold. Such a great customer service. NOT!
Man, I'd love to help, but I don't have any experience with sig at all.
Truglo contacted me via email just now and I called and spoke with a tech. He was very helpful and respectful. I told him my problem and he said to send in the slide with the sights on it and the original adjustable sig sights with it, along with a target from 25 ft so they can see how low it shot and they will fix it. Finally getting somewhere. I hate sending stuff in but hey I'm out 100+ $ if I don't. Hopefully this works out.
Well I called sig again and they are sending me the fixed night sights for the p226. Because truglo tfo are not compatible with the elite dark model. So I guess I'm just going to stick with those since they are made for sigs. If anyone wants the truglo TFO sig 8,8 sights, I'll sell them cheap. I'll post them in the classifieds soon. Just let me know.

Sounds like an interesting looking character, but just imagine being shot with paarrrley from a lane over. That would be pretty intense. There basically would be no running away from this hero if she knew how to use wards. You try to flash away all she has to do is pop inv and fire Q ability or her W ability which is a 4 second stun at highest level. Is that also a skill shot? She sounds like a fun character, but being shot for 1k damage from one lane over sounds kinda unfun. Invisibility and shooting basically is like having a tristana get to practice firing at you without retaliation. 16 seconds is a long time even with a slight AS reduce. Some items would fix that easy enough. She has an amazing long range stun, an invisibility, long range paaarlay. Why would you ever use tristana again? The thing about Lol that is different than other games is the blind pick right now, you can't pick heroes to counter other heros like in Dota since you have no idea what the other team has.
Senior Member
I was trying to add a sniping attack that actully required a bit of skill to use. Its got double the cd of parrrley and its not a sure hit connection, like parrrley, and over all i think the damage is only about 1.6x that of parrrley. You can always dodge it too. The reason i said snare is because its like Ryze's snare without the damage. Which can be cleansed, blinked, abilitied, and can still attack while under its influence. I am against any stun being that far ranged. I could see 2 possible ways of playing this character. 1 would be critpirate go for movement speed and crit and damage, try to snare then cloak/slugshot at close range for the bonus crit. or 2 stack heavy damage, slow and attack speed and use the ult very meanly. thats 16 seconds at lvl 16 which by that time either one team is way ahead or people have over 3k health to take some damage while under continious fire.

Jarvan doesn't need buffs.
OR, force them to flash/ use their mobility skill early. Q+E them, they flash away,then they use their mobility skill(s) then YOU flash after them. then you ult and laugh since they cant run away
TSM Redmagejake
good point.. i actually wanna feel like i'm being raped.. when i get put into J4's rape box...
Jarvan's ult is a glorified nuke in any 1v1 and in team fights, the walls are a little more useful but still not so great. There are clever uses for the wall mechanic (drawing lines between the enemy team champions, forcing cooldowns so your assassins can clean up once they're burned, cutting off chokepoints briefly), and I think anyone calling it useless is exaggerating, but I still think that his ult fails to be very effective in most cases and should be revised in some way. My biggest problems with his ultimate are that it just doesn't have any synergy with the rest of Jarvan's kit, followed obviously by the fact that it's used less effectvely as a prison and more effectively as cooldown bait. Oh, and the bugs shouldn't need to be mentioned but I'll say it anyway: the way his ult is built makes it buggy and unreliable. If that's the only way it can be built then it needs to be replaced.

You shouldn't have a problem with very light clothes unless there's a stiff breeze coming in from the South. Some stands are very protected and can get very hot – others less so. We were there three years running and never once broke out our brollies. (And now having said that it'll pour this year.) A brollie would be handy if you're in a sunny spot for the practice sessions though you can move about pretty freely within your stand for those parts of the event as it's usually less than half full. Food and drink is expensive inside the venue but we've never had a problem bringing in snacks and water. If you have to have a beer I wouldn't try to get that through security, that might be where they draw the line. If you're not all that picky about food (that's me) there's any number of supermarket food halls that are several cuts above the quality you get here in Australia so you can get a decent feed for cheap. If you're going for sit down restaurants in tourist areas like Clarke Quay then be prepared for a shock. The YMCA on Orchard (booked by now I'm sure is pretty cheap). As for regular hotel acccommodation, if you find somewhere good, cheap and on the MRT let us all know – hotels prices for the weekend will make your eyes water.
13th March 2014, 10:05 at 10:05 am #251903The strength of the SG$ is a worry this year. A couple of years ago it was 25% in my favor. Last year it was virtually 1:1 (after fees) and it looks like the same this year. Any one thinking of waiting to order tickets, you can still get good T1/2 tickets right up to August in my experience but the early bird rate is tempting (ends in May I think).
12th March 2014, 9:37 at 9:37 am #251651We were in the pit grandstand in 2011 and it was pretty disappointing. Get seats as far up towards the podium and in the back rows. Te front rows look right into the catch fence and you can't see over into the pits. If you're up in the back rows you should be able to get a bit of a view I to the pits. The best pit views are from the corporate boxes above the stand. Also, if you're at the podium end you'll see the finish and get a head start onto the track for the presentation and track walk. The middle pit grandstand doesn't get a lot of breeze either so if its a hot day you'll roast. The downside of the podium end is that it's a long walk to gate 1 or 2 as well as the entertainment and food at the village.
We've been in T2 for the past 2 years and scouted most of the other locations and its the pick of the standard seats.
19th January 2014, 23:02 at 11:02 pm #246095@vale
have a look at http://www.youtube.com/user/SirEricCuttlefish/videos or if that doesn't work google Singapore F1 GP sirericcuttlefish. There's a bundle of band vids so you'll need to scroll down a bit. These were taken from Bay A6 of the Turn 2 stand. I had a heap of pics on Flickr but I haven't used Flickr for a while and now iit's gone to Yahoo I can't sign in. It's all facebook now anyway.18th January 2014, 10:36 at 10:36 am #246092Turn 1 and Turn 2 (in particular) are the best stands for access to entertainment, food, transport and actual track viewing. The price is pretty high for this area but it's worth it – avoid the pit grandstand because its the same price but a pretty poor view unless you're in the highest rows of seats so you can see (just) into the pits. That said, the cars go by very fast so viewing isn't great But you will get very close to the cars on start and finish. Trust me @Vale hot in Singapore is very different to hot anywhere else. The heat drains you pretty quick if you're not used to the tropics. We've been for the past three years and it's still a shock to the system when you get out of the airport. I've got a bundle of photos and videos on the web so send me a pm if you want the links.
19th December 2013, 21:53 at 9:53 pm #246086Diane. Super early bird tickets for limited stands went on sale virtually the day after the 2013 race. It was probably a limited time offer and closed now but it was something like 40% off – no zone 1 tickets though. The early bird tickets usually go on sale in February for most zones. They usually have a discount of 25% or so which is useful money on a $1000 ticket. Signup to the SingGP website and you will get plenty of email offers.
27th October 2013, 23:11 at 11:11 pm #182202I agree that the Pit Grandstand is a waste of time and money given that its at the Zone 1 price. We learnt that the first time we went. In some seats you can see into the pits but for all but the formation and start its bad value. We've been in the T2 grandstand for the past 2 years and the viewing is excellent in rows 15 and above. You bet three corners, plenty of stop and go, and if you pick the right seat you can see all the way up pit straight. That said, it's A$1000 for the ticket so it's an expensive weekend away. The food in village, and I suspect elsewhere, is the usual woeful event concession food which is incredible to me because Singapore is a foodies wet dream. We've always gone for three days in the same seats but we'll probably look at the multi for next year so we can have Friday at bay, Saturday at esplanade and Sunday at T2.
26th October 2013, 22:35 at 10:35 pm #182199@re-sewn
I've been to the past three Sing GPs with my early teenage kids. Ive Never seen a mozzie in the downtown area or around the track. We sit by the water on the grassy areas under the bridge near the Village stage to cool off and get away from the crowds most nights between races. And even right on the water there are no bugs. I think I've seen one ad on local TV about mozzie awareness (don't leave water in bowls outside, that sort of thing) but we those here as well. I'd say the chance of getting anything like dengue is remote if you're anywhere in the city, sentosa, botanic gardens, marina etc. I'd take Singapore over Monaco any day. The organisation is flawless and you can walk from your hotel to the track in most cases. You don't get that in a lot of GPs.19th October 2013, 7:19 at 7:19 am #24316290% of all activity around the entire F1 circus is about marketing/money. The problem is choosing the focus.
17th October 2013, 5:57 at 5:57 am #243158@jp There are a million stories in F1. You are spoilt for choice as the circus crosses so many paths. There's also a wealth of very well researched information out there so data won't be a problem. You're obviously clever enough to know that the best ideas don't come from one single brain, it's about collaboration. Asking the question on this site is a perfect way to get disparate ideas from around the world. I created, ran and have recently sold my advertising and marketing business and I can tell you that not one individual was ever responsible for a great idea. Keep asking.
16th October 2013, 20:30 at 8:30 pm #243154I'd like to see something on how city/state/national governments use F1 races to redefine themselves as a brand. Melbourne wants to be "events" city having stolen the race from Adelaide and bidding on every major sporting event they can think of. Singapore, according to what I've read, are using the race to redefine themselves as the "event" capital of Asia. this is to me is no doubt to insulate themselves from the fluctuations of the finance sector, possible loss of shipping revenue from the opening of the ice free route to Europe across the arctic from the industrial powerhouses of China Korea and Japan. There's also an expected decline for their air travel sector now that long range flights from Australia to Europe (one example) can bypass Singapore as the traditional refuel stop.
15th October 2013, 10:16 at 10:16 am #182194Esplanade looks like a far better bet then Bay. Get a seat further up the stand so you don't have the catch fence in your way.
The track opens up in Zone 1 primarily to get the Zone 1 people down to Padang and whatever concert might be on. You walk down the track from the final turn back down to bay. You can't walk from turn one in race direction. You can probably walk against the tide back to zone 1 withou too much drama, be quick though as they tear down the track and block off areas pretty damn quick.
10th October 2013, 21:28 at 9:28 pm #240938I really enjoyed the film in spite of the historical liberties taken, it is a dramatisation after all. Good pace, but the little bit of swearing in the film is off putting. It just seemed contrived and out of place. Either you go the whole hog "Glengarry Glenross" style or just leave it out. It's just sounded a bit lazy. Don't get me wrong, I'm no wowser and I can make complete sentences, paragraphs out of bad language but it jus didn t seem to fit. It is recommended though.
26th September 2013, 6:39 at 6:39 am #21057023rd September 2013, 13:25 at 1:25 pm #214660@czhihong
They open a gate right at the end of the T1 grandstand just where the public viewing platform is across from the pit exit lane. That's right under the bridge. They also open a gate right across from the podium. Usually a big crush but worth it. You can then walk from there down to turn 20 and then to the Promenade MRT or go through to Padang stage or across the bridge to Marina Sands. -

Westway, a former strip club near the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan, made a suitably glam-trash setting for the fifth-anniversay party of Neon Gold Records on Thursday night. The show featured sets from Magic Man, Haerts, and MS MR — the latter of which is not technically a Neon Gold act, but is fronted by Lizzy Plapinger, who co-founded the label with childhood friend Derek Davies when the pair were in college. After an initial flurry of limited-edition 7-inches by artists such as Passion Pit, Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding, and others, the label signed a deal with Columbia just over three years ago and has since been focusing on developing its own acts. This year, 2013, was a banner year for the label (which released an album by St. Lucia and EPs from Haerts, Magic Man, and Wet) and MS MR (which capped a year of hard touring and the release of its debut LP, Secondhand Rapture), and in the spirit of things, toasts were made, shots were downed, and a pileup of friends, fans, and fam joined MS MR onstage for "Hurricane."

text: Greetings, I am trying to install this software but i am comming across many problems. The installation does not utilise ./configure and requires you edit the makefiles yourself. FYI - the installation guide is located as follows http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/cnet/install.html There are several points that strike me, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ensure that you have the X11 window system development resources (include files and libraries) installed. For example, Redhat Linux users will require the XFree86-devel RPM" "Have Tcl/Tk correctly installed, preferably version 8.0 or beyond, and know where its header files and libraries are installed. Note that you'll need both the Tcl/Tk runtime facilities (i.e. their shared libraries), and the Tcl/Tk development facilities (i.e. their C header files). Most "out-of-the-box" Linux distributions have the runtime facilities installed, but do not install the development facilities. If installing on a Linux machine using RPMs, you'll require both the runtime RPM and the development RPM for both Tcl and Tk." ------------------------Do BLFS conform to the pre-requisites (above)?---------------------- "Edit the Makefile to change the constants local to your installation: BINDIR, CNETDIR, MANDIR, MANEXT, and WEBDIR" "Read and modify the C #defines in config.h, such as the full pathname of the C compiler and linker on your system. In particular, ensure that you have set values for HAVE_LONG_LONG, SIZEOF_INT, and SIZEOF_LONG, and that the value you gave to CNETDIR in the top-level Makefile is recorded in the string constant CNETPATH| "Read and change site-specific constants in the Makefile for the operating system you'll be using (Makefile.linux, Makefile.sunos ...) Typically, you'll need to modify (or uncomment) CC, CFLAGS, INCLUDES, XINCLUDES, LIBDIRS, LIBS, XLIBS, BINDIR and MANDIR" "If running a Linux(ELF) system and your system doesn't provide the libelf package, you'll need the libelf package provided in the distribution. The libelf archive library and header files should already be in their correct locations for successful compilation and linking, but you may with to uncompress, untar and build the libelf-0.6.4 package yourself (as a last resort!)". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would assume that the linker is /usr/bin/ld & the compiler is called by /usr/bin/gcc or cc. Anyway, my immediate problem is that make does not compile because it complains about not finding tcl or tk are both installed on my blfs.

Self-Publishing Expo: The 7 Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success
October 2, 2010 | 10:28 pm
By Paul Biba
Speaker: Mark Coker, Smashwords
Ebooks risen to 8.5% of trade market. A lot of authors they work with see more sales from ebooks than print books. Print won't go away, but should use ebooks to make your work more accessible.
Advantages of ebooks: changeable font size, portable, huge selection, convenient sampling, lower cost. Easier to publish an ebook than a print book and don't have to pay anyone to do it. Can get higher profits. Publishers pay around 25%, but self-published ebook can get 75 to 1000%. Can price lower and still make more than a traditional publisher. Even though services are out there to publish an ebook, doesn't mean you will sell anything.
Ebooks have democratized publishing. All the retailers want your ebooks because don't have to deal with shelf space.
Three trends reshaping the industry: bookselling moving to the web (price, convenience and selection), ebooks will overtake print, authors become publishers.
Traditional publishers have reacted inappropriately to today's changes: costs to high, author's advances too high and loose money if books fail, supply chain broken, Amazon not only eating the publishers' lunch it is eating the publishers. As publishers trying to mitigate the new risks they are adopting customer-unfriendly policies and author-unfriendly policies: publishing fewer books, scarcity tactics to maintain higher prices, limiting worldwide distribution, DRM, reluctant to acquire books from unproven authors, providing less marketing and editing support.
Summary of indie author advantages: internet book buying levels playing field for indies, both print and ebook; self published authors are closer to customers, have lower expenses, earn more per book can't go out of print.
Secret #1: write a great book. One of the biggest problems at Smashwords is poor books (poor quality, editing, proofing and cover images). Book covers are still very important in the ebook world.
Secret #2: Write another great book. A backlist is important.
Secret #3: Maximize your distribution. Take advantage of retailers and distributors.
Secret #4: Give some of your books away for free. On Smashwords over 2,000 books are free. Think of free books as a marketing tool – first book in a series, for example. Highest grossing authors on Smashwords offer at least one free ebook.
Secret #5: Trust your readers and partners. DRM is counterproductive and limiting distribution chain because of lack of trust will severely limit sales.
Secret #6: Have patience. Ebooks never go out of print so the author can take the long view. Best author stared out with $200/quarter and now is up to $15,000/quarter
Secret #7: Marketing starts yesterday. Marketing should be a daily activity and start before the book is published.
Secret #8: Architect your books for virality – takes steps necessary so that word of your book can be spread easily.
Impression: the typical excellent Coker presentation. Nothing new for our readers, but the room was packed and people were listening intently. What's nice about Mark's presentations is that he doesn't hype Smashwords, but sticks to the meat of the topic. Seemed to be a large amount of ignorance about ebooks in the audience – not only about ebooks, but also about the internet and all topics related to it.

You say, "but self-published ebook can get 75 to 1000%."
Wow! Where to I go to sell an ebook for $1 that'll give me $10 in royalties? I wouldn't even have to write something anyone would want to read. Just buy 100 copies a day myself and I'd earn $1,000 a day. I'd be rich in no time. As they used to say, "Great work if you can find it."
I assume you meant 100%.

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
I really don't know what my emotions are doing right now. I'm mostly happy but also surprised really big time. The cause of this state is that my story, The Ghost of You: trajektoria.deviantart.com/art…, got the first place in a Halloween competition held by Sherlocklovers: sherlocklovers.deviantart.com/.
I honestly and sincerely didn't expect that it will even get to the round two. But to my genuine surprise, it did. And it got even further. That's really awesome, amazing and just wow! I'm totally happy that you've enjoyed my story and thanks for all the votes, that really means a lot to me
I love to write and such success really gives me a boost in confidence and strenghtens my motivation to work even harder to perfect my English. Thanks again, everyone!

Dec 26, 2009 Shillong Peak is a nice drive out of the city center to a viewing spot from where you can get a good view of the surrounding area including waterfalls. There are locals offering costumes for couples to dress in the Khasi tribal clothes, etc. for just Rs50 or $1 and you can take any number of pictures or videos of yourself in the dresses for memorable shots. There are some food stalls serving snacks here. Nearby there is an Indian Air Force station which has a park with old fighter aircraft and a good Air Force and Meghalaya state cultural museum which is worth visiting to see and you can also take pictures here.

RWW consists of five related conferences that focus on the intersection between wireless communication theory, systems, circuits, and device technologies. This creates a unique forum for engineers to discuss various technologies for state-of-art wireless systems and their end-use applications.
RWW2015 will be held at the Omni Hotel in San Diego, California, 25 – 28 January 2015. The venue is located in the heart of the historic Gaslamp Quarter, a walkable area filled with restaurants, shopping and nightlife. Home to many wireless semiconductor, aerospace and defense companies, as well as world class universities, San Diego is a great location for an event like RWW.
