Ghost Recon Phantoms Full Review
To people who love Ghost Recon this franchise doesn't really need any introduction, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon series was one of the first shooters that got immensely popular and since then its fanbase follows it religiously from title to title. I myself enjoyed the Ghost Series; it has always been futuristic yet hyper realistic compared to other shooters, and that setting feels the most entertaining. Since August of last year, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms opened this realm of shooters to the masses as an online multiplayer free action shooter. With plenty of time to smooth out bugs and up the total content, we figured it was time to give the game a fresh look.
Before you head into the game you are able to pick between three available classes. Each one of these classes has their own tactical style and team objectives in the game. Luckily you're never locked into playing just one and can dabble between the classes if you want to spice up your gameplay and mix things around. The three available classes are the Assault that is equipped with an assault rifle, a Recon that likes to shoot things from a distance with a sniper rifle, and the Specialist that can be seen as a support type of class that carries a light machine gun. Like I have said, each one of these classes have their own required play style, and you definitely need to have each one of these classes in your squad or else you will have a bad time, but more on that later.
Online arena titles like GRO entirely focus on the use of game rooms to find your games and play around. Unfortunately I quickly experienced the nightmare that is called matchmaking in Ghost Recon Phantoms. Matchmaking automatically sets you up with other people to play a game mode. Unfortunately GRO's matchmaking fell short of my expectations from other shooters. Normally, I'd like to choose what I play and where I play. I want to decide what server I want to join, and how many people it includes. But choice is rather limited in Ghost Recon Phantoms, and the population isn't large enough to give matchmaking much flexibility. I would love to have a server browser and see the different playable game modes, but instead my only choice was the level range I wanted to play in. After that, you just hit the play button and hope for the best.
Several minutes later (sometimes longer as I was queuing from EU and at odd hours for the majority of players), a match would pop. On the bright side, matches can rage on for quite a while, usually around half an hour in competitive battles. But if your team is getting massacred, you're forced to endure it as leaving prematurely as it hurts your rank and lowers your reputation, making your matchmaking chore worse for future matches. All in all, I would've loved to see a different way to join games, and I think this is a primary cause of scaring off new players and keeping the population low.
Besides that the interface, the menus, and the whole lobby system itself is beautifully done but in a shooter it all really comes down to how crisp and balanced the gameplay itself is. GRO forces you to take things slowly. Patience is a virtue, and luckily you'll have built up plenty of it waiting out the queue. Run and gun gamers who think they can be godlike running wildly through the streets will be dropped in a hot flash and typically give away the rest of their team's position in the process. Ghost Recon Phantoms follow suite with its Buy to Play counterparts, encouraging sneaking, camping, and teamwork. Currently the most played game mode is conquest. Just like in any other game with the game mode conquest, you will have several capture points on the map to battle over with your allies. But remember, the game is played at a slow pace and thus capturing these points isn't as easy as charging in and standing around in the open waiting on a timer. Since a lot of people camp, often lying in wait at a capture point for ten plus minutes, you will have to scout areas and force enemies out before having a chance to capture them. With the use of class skills like cloak or weapon jams you can try to force your enemy to fall back. Brute force doesn't work well without the powerful class skills supporting them.
One thing I learned quickly is that this game is absolutely not balanced at all, which makes it even harder in a way. Some weapons deal a ton of damage, while others certainly don't and if you have one of the beginner weapons equipped, well good luck trying to win the game. It is obvious that when you buy weapons they improve your performance, but new pups are often forced into the playground of the big dogs due to population limitations, resulting in some devastating losses.
Conclusion: Good
Ghost Recon Phantoms is a lot of fun. I myself enjoyed playing it but there are enough hindrances for new players that I didn't often feel encouraged to queue up for multiple matches in a row. Since the game isn't that popular, new players should go in with the mindset that they're going to get crushed quite a few times while slowly building up their character to hang with the veterans. Once you have bit the bullet and climbed the learning curve, with days of battle hardening matches under your belt, you will start to find yourself actually impacting the outcome of matches. This felt tedious at times as I rarely got to experience match modes outside of conquest. A shooter needs fast queue quick matches like Team Deathmatch to draw in a decent population by capturing the casual crowd. Perhaps I ask too much out of a Ghost Recon game, especially since the game supports camping with its many different stances and weapon possibilities, but sometimes the game was just too slow overall.

2013 Weekly Race Reports
Results August 11
By Edward Anschutz
(Seymour, WI) August 11, 2013 Results- JJ Heinz hustled past Barry VanStraten with a handful of laps remaining in the IMCA Stock Car feature to score the win at Seymour Super Speedway. Heinz also completed a hat trick weekend by winning Friday at Luxemburg Speedway and Saturday at 141 Speedway. Other feature winners were Mike Wedelstadt (IMCA Modified), Joey Taycher (IMCA Sport Mod), Jerry Winkler (Street Stock) and Calvin Stueck (Sport Fours)
"Mr. Hello" Barry VanStraten looked to be well on his way to victory in the IMCA Stock Car main as he slipped by Brandon Gagnon on lap 2. VanStraten then set sail pulling away from the pack. Title contender JJ Heinz quickly diced through the field and began chopping away at VanStraten's lead. Once to the back bumper Heinz just couldn't find the grip to complete the pass as the duo race side by side. With only 5 laps remaining Heinz took hold of the lead and never let up cruising to his 2nd feature win of the season. Brandon Czarapata, VanStraten, Kyle Fredrick and Rod Snellenberger completed the top five. Snellenberger holds a slim 2 point edge over Heinz for the championship.
Joey Taycher's second visit of the season in the IMCA Sport Mods turned into a successful one as he raced by Hunter Parsons on lap 7 for the lead. Taycher worked the cushion to perfection with a dominating win. Jeremy Cota tightened the points battle with a second place run, point leader Tracy Wassenberg was third, Andy Kleczka and JJ Anderson rounded out the top five.
Mike Wedelstadt held off a hard charging Jason Czarapata to score his first feature of the season in the IMCA Modifieds. The contest went green to checker with Wedelstadt scoring a clean sweep by winning his heat race earlier in the night. Czarapata padded his point lead with second, Jerry Wilinski was third, Jay Matthias fourth and Jamie Schmidt brought home fifth.
In Street Stock action it was Jerry Winkler scoring his 7th feature win of the season. Point leader Jon Ashcraft was second, Gary Kasperek, Mert Summers and Aaron Melchert rounded out the top five.

August 4 results
By Edward Anschutz
(Seymour, WI) August 4, 2013 Results- Cody Hokenstad only led 1 lap of the IMCA Sport Mod feature but it was the one that mattered as he slipped by Rod Solem coming to the checker taking the win at Seymour Super Speedway. Other feature winners were Brandon Czarapata (IMCA Stock Car), Gary Kasperek (Street Stock) and (Sport Fours) Andrew Meyerhofer. Complete Badger Mod Tour results can be found at www.badgermodtour.com
The IMCA Sport Mod feature resembled a heavyweight boxing match as Rod Solem raced past Beau Handschke and to lead on lap 2. Two early cautions saw Tracy Wassenbergs night end early thus shrinking his point lead. Solem led the field until Andy Kleczka charged to the lead at the midway point. Solem fought back and the duo exchanged the lead back and forth over the next handful of laps. Cody Hokenstad was lying in wait with the battle for the lead in front of him. Solem was able to reclaim the lead with 7 laps remaining and looked to have the race in hand but Hokenstad had other plans. With the white flag in the air Hokenstad worked right to the back bumper of the leader. As they marched into the final corner Hokenstad slipped under Solem and it was a drag race to checker with Hokenstad nipping Solem at the line by a mere few feet. Hokenstad now holds a division best 4 feature wins. Solem had to settle for second, Chris Budzban had his best night at the speedway with third, Kleczka and Josh Long completed the top five.
The IMCA Stock Cars were not the be outdone with a wild finish and in the end one of the drivers lost an engine. The inside front row was the first to go in the opening laps with Kevin Hebbe, Jason Bork and Mitch Stankowski taking the top three spots. Stankowski swarmed Hebbe taking the top spot on lap 5. Barry VanStraten wasted no time marching from row 5 into the top 5. Brandon Czarapata charged into second just past the midway point and worked to the outside of the leader. The duo raced door to door with Stankowski holding the top spot by a fender over the defending champion as laps clicked away. Czarapata kept the pressure on and with 6 laps remaining took the lead away from Stankowski. Czarapata was able to slowly pull away from the field scoring his 7th feature win of the season. Stankowski had his best run of the year with second, VanStraten was a solid third, point leader Rod Snellenberger raced to fourth after coming through the last chance qualifier and Chas Van Ooyen rounded out the top five. After the checker Jason Bork claimed the engine of Mitch Stankowski, the claim was accepted.

(Seymour, WI) July 21, 2013 Results- Brandon Czarapata took the lead away from Kyle Fredrick with 10 laps remaining to claim another feature win in the IMCA Stock Cars at Seymour Super Speedway. Other feature winners were Jason Czarapata (IMCA Modified), Cody Hokenstad (IMCA Sport Mod), Jerry Winkler (Street Stock) and Brad Wedde (Sport Fours).
Seymour is off on July 18 due to the fair. Racing returns on August 4 with the Badger Modified Tour.
Dave Hoerning paced the opening laps of the IMCA Stock Car feature before a 3-wide battle ensued between the leader, Jamie Van Ooyen and Kyle Fredrick. Van Ooyen snatched the lead away on lap 5 but his reign up front only lasted a lap as Fredrick stormed by taking the top spot. Brandon Czarapata charged through the field catching Fredrick. At the midway point Czarapata worked the low groove past Fredrick for the lead. Czarapata pulled away scoring a clean sweep with his 6th feature of the season. Fredrick was a strong second, Barry Van Straten had a season best third, JJ Heinz gained a point in the title chase with fourth and point leader Rod Snellenberger completed the top five.

Its done! Its finished! The first book is complete. Now I have mountain of editing to pound down. Also I must dig out my 'master synopsis' and create a synopsis for book 2.
My short stories are another matter. Very little progress.

Awww, you made me blush...
Anyhow, back on topic, I have had a new lease of life with my novel length project. I have set aside the main plot as I was begining to feel a little directionless and am currently working on the sub plot. I even have an end in mind now. Currently approx 10000 words.
Oh, had another rejection. It would appear that my story was soooooo bad they closed down the publisher!

hey cool, somewhere to brag!!!
62,700 words, and 8 1/2 chapters into the first book of my "The Coming of the Blessed." series. Was going to call the darn thing 'The Eternal Road', but then read about the biblical production play, and decided to use the first book's title for the name of the series.
The 'Untitled' first book will get a new name pretty soon, i hope. Trilogy? Maybe, not. Perhaps a long standing series like Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. Can't say much yet until I get the first novel finished. Estimated now to be at about 130,000 words.

I wrote The Dead Lizard in My Path. Interesting one I'd thought. I'm having fun with some stories.
I decided that several of my stories weren't strong enough to persue publication anymore and have posted those on my web stie for any that care to read/critique. Most have at least 2 rejections or just aren't strong enough to deserve a re-write. There's a total of 9 stories you can read on my bibliography. Some suffer from serious writing flaws, others have plot issues or poor endings. Some of them were dreams and I've discovered that dreams are best left in your head. Feel free to bash/critique/tear apart all you like. As I said, these aren't my best works. They're good ideas, but I didn't execute them as well as I have with other stories.

Work proceeding steadily on Arden's Call book 1 and 2, (three if the series is reorganised.)
Sent off a couple of poems to an anthlogy being compiled, it'll be a while before I hear anything.
Still awaiting word from my publisher about Arden's Call publishing can be slow.
A short story I sent off got rejected, but only just. You can read it just on this site now, if you like. Its not amazing to be honest. I just thought I'd have a go while i had it.
Couple of other short stories coming on nicely too.
June 10th, 2004, 09:41 PM #70
Something clicked this week. Not like anything normal, but my stories have a different feel. The Dead Lizard in My Path creeped out a couple of my test readers, but today I wrote Downstairs and my test readers are uncertain if they like the path I've trod upon. I've been listening to a lot of Poe and Lovecraft on audio lately and just started a Stephen King audio book. They're not too comfortable with horror and creepy topics. I think I found a nerve and I'm enjoying it.
I'm going to start on a Werewolf story entitled Wear Wolf and see if I can't get that one done tonight as well. It should be fun.
I also submitted a couple stories last night (after a bit of spit-n-polish from their rejection). Hope to hear work back on those.

Not done much, save for editing for a while. Major period of self doubt, not helped by the death of a good friend some 5 years younger than me. He was a good sounding block. Made me laugh and I am missing our weekly "bitches" about the world, life and sword like objects.
Also frustrated by the fact that I have to work for a liiving. It I didn't I would have back my afternoons for writing. Evenings I am usually too tired to do anything but surf the net and spend time with my family...

Sheesh...how do I follow you lot!!
Oh well....
1st Novel, 'Heaven Help Us' completed July of last year.
2nd in the trilogy 25,000 words in.
No interest by any agent or publisher who were all very complimentary but all very full ( of what I dare only guess).
Perhaps it's the humour ( too near Mr.P...although I was born with it!! ). Perhaps it's the fantasy ( lots of God, Devil, Priest, Nun, and various angels ). Perhaps it's the religion ( see last comment ). Perhaps it's timing, luck, beer or even age (52). Got nice compliments from Mr P's agent ( so it can't be the writing...haha ).
BUT......I don't give a fig....because I ain't givin' up!!!
So I'll keep you all posted.....and good luck to you all.
Oh...by the way...I didn't give up my day job. I'm a writer!!

Spent a good deal of time finding homes for 6 different works that had been rejected at least once before. I did a read through of each and did spot clean up as I saw fit. It was more work finding a place to submit it than to actually do the clean up work. Currently have 2 works that need cleaning and sending. Have 16 submitted and waiting to hear word back. 5 to Date have been accepted (I'm shooting for 12 this year). 9 works are available on my site for reading and reviewing.
I will update my bibliography tomorrow as I'm a wee bit tired.

Sorry RS, didn't recognize it. Read it. Thought it was quite odd indeed. Great dialogue. Made me shiver.
This week was a good week. Espically when I get comments like this
I really liked your story...It was sincere, compassionate, very well written...We had over 75 excellent stories submitted and yours was among the final ten considered.
The interesting thing about this story, and that I submitted to this contest. It was Fiction. Not Horror, not Fantasy, not Sci-Fi. It was Fiction. It also creeped me out that I of all people wrote it. I've never read anything what I'd written in this one and it came out much different than I'd intended. I will be attempting to write another story for this contest in the future.
I redid my bibliography so it'll update from a database that I'm using to keep track of my submissions. Now you'll be able to watch me rack up rejections and see the 'history' of a story.
This week I did Dragon Flight and Balloons. I did about 1000 words on both Mike vs. the Building and The Bana Tree. I also pushed all edited work out the door and into the world again. I've only got 4 pieces in the editing room. I hope to get all four out next week. I may not submit Balloons as it's more of an andecdote than a story.

Too bad. Unusable for me
I could never really get into this game. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to get past the learning curve or read the 500 page manuals. That and the sound effects and music quality (which is abhorrent) turned me off it.
It definitely portrays a "living" universe better than, say, Freelancer (which had nothing of the sort, but it wasn't a sim either).
Most people with any interest in this game have probably already played it for many hours and have grown bored of it; probably shouldn't of bothered releasing it at all. You guys said it has a steep learning curve, that's an instant turn off to me and I'll likely not bother too. I like familiar things I can jump right into, like SPAZ.
But it's cool, we have several Space related games coming our way via Kickstarter and other outlets. So it's all good.
I have X3 Reunion from Linux from LGP. It ran OK a few years ago but on my 460GTX box (Ubuntu 12.04, SUSE 12.2 both 64bit) it crashes quite often. It has had a history of graphical artefacts too.
I do hope that Egosoft's Linux port has native 64bit executables available - 32bit should be history by now.
X3 has a steep learning curve? What a load of bull! If you expect to know everything, or even 50% of any version of this game in a SHORT period of playing it then you are indeed setting yourself a steep learning curve; your curve will not be of the monotonic increasing variety.

India's shift to allow multi-brand foreign retailers entry means challenges as well as opportunities
Blog Entry:
April 22, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: DIANA C. GOLOB
Diana C. Golob is a senior vice president in the corporate services unit of Ostendorf-Morris Co.
Diana Golob photographed this retail district in India.
India's parliamentary government recently passed a law giving each state the authority to allow for a 51% foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail. Previous regulations only permitted foreign multi-brand retailers to enter the market through franchise agreements with domestic companies, own up to 51% in single-brand retail and 100% in cash-and-carry ventures.
The first multinational retailers to enter the market under this broader regulation could include companies such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the American discount superstore; IKEA, the privately held Swedish company that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, home accessories, and appliances; Tesco PLC, the British grocery and general merchandise retailer; and Carrefour S.A., the French hypermarket superstore.
There has been a fierce debate regarding this change in regulation, with one of the strongest opponents being the Bharatiya Janata Party. Some speculate that they could have a better standing after the 2014 general elections in India and thus greater influence over this matter. Their major objection is the claim that multi-national retailers will put smaller domestic "kirana" shops out of business. Presumably this party also benefits in some way from the traditional system which encourages economic and social separation by caste, corruption and gender biases.
Supporters of the law see this as India's opportunity to encourage desperately needed foreign direct investment (FDI) to be pumped into the system. Experts claim that $1 trillion (USD) will be needed in infrastructure improvements over the next five years.
Challenges face retailers from warehouse to storefront
Anyone who has visited India has experienced first-hand that the quality of roads, buildings, and infrastructure fall far behind other emerging and competing markets. The tangential enhancements from an influx of global retailers could include improved storage facilities such as well constructed refrigerated warehouses.
It has been estimated that nearly one-third of the produce farmed in India spoils before it arrives to market. This is not only due to improper storage, but also results from extended drive-times and the unnecessary middle-market dealers. It also would be safe to assume that companies such as Wal-Mart, who pride themselves on efficiency in logistics (a cost-cutting measure), would insist on improvements being made to the roadways and traffic patterns. Finally, these companies would increase the quality of building standards, architectural design, and construction materials used, perhaps modeled after stores in developed countries.
I predict that this loosening of multi-brand retail regulation will prove to be highly beneficial for India and is one piece of the puzzle that has been holding it back from creating a modern built environment. I have been required to visit clients and inspect their occupied real estate in India on several occasions.
Touring shopping districts yields unpleasant surprises
During my first visit, I had a free afternoon and asked the concierge at the Taj Lands End in Mumbai to send me to the central business district and local shopping area. He quickly called a cab that escorted me to a Class B mid-rise building. I'm not sure if they misjudged my tastes, but the retail scene they chose to highlight was disappointing to say the least. I stepped out to find a more authentic market and was once again let down by the cheap goods displayed haphazardly in makeshift huts.
Since that first visit I have seen other examples of retail in Mumbai, New Delhi, and even the popular Mahatma Gandhi Road (also known as "Camp" or MG Road) in Pune and each time left feeling less than satisfied. Mind you, I was not necessarily seeking Wal-Mart stores, nor something akin to the ever popular Zeil Strasse in Frankfurt, but hoped for an authentic market with well thought-out product display in a modern retail store.
My point is that perhaps the multi-brand retailers will set a standard which the local kirana owners can mimic and therefore provide a more pleasurable shopping experience for locals and tourists alike. Furthermore, the country as a whole will benefit from improvements in infrastructure and a redeveloped urban landscape.
Diana C. Golob is a senior vice president with Cleveland-based Ostendorf-Morris Co. In her role managing global real estate portfolios for Fortune 1000 and middle-market companies, she is required to visit her clients and their properties in the United States and abroad. She has been to India twice.

3rd time i used pump motor blewup and only light worked. had my other pump 10 years before it wore out. i only used once on my tire and twice on snowblower tire should not have blown up.
Fontana, CA
via sears.com
First try was pretty good did a 215/45/17 from 15psi to 30psi in about 1 min 30 sec. The 12v connector looks and feels pretty cheap.
Mission, KS
via sears.com
This inflator has the best tire valve connection that stays on. Not the cheap clip on connector that leaks if you can get them on at all. The connector simply screws on the valve stem for a leak free connection, turn it on until the pressure gauge reads the pressure required, turn it off and unscrew the connector, you're done. It will inflate my large truck tires quickly to 50psi with ease.
New York, NY
via sears.com
I used it about four or five times. It has a good solid feel, puts out a lot of air, and works well. Having gotten all these things right, why did they use the cheapest flimsiest plastic for the plug? It broke into pieces in the lighter socket. There's no way to repair it; it's junk now.
Portland, OR
via sears.com
I had this pump for less than a year and had used it only a few times when it suddenly stopped working. The light still worked, so it wasn't just a burned out fuse. I only used it to top off my car tires, so I never ran it more than a couple of minutes at a time. The pump is relatively quiet, and if it hadn't quit working I would have rated it very highly.
Penn Valley, CA
via sears.com
I only need to use it once a week to maintain the truck air bag supports...adding about 50 pounds..it doesn't take long under 5 minutes with the truck running. It blew out 20amp fuse under the hood once . Also if you do not unscrew/release from the valve stem QUICKLY... about 20 lbs. of air is lost.
Braselton, GA
via sears.com
The pump made it through just three of the four tires on my car before it stopped with a blown fuse in the DC plug.
Pittsfield, MA
Overall this inflator works, but the cigarette lighter plug was very chealy made and after using a half dozen times, it was in pieces.

Solid compressor for a 4x4 or anyone just looking to keep up on their tire pressures... 10min on 10min off, its a 50% duty cycle compressor. If you can obide by that then it will be the only one you'll ever need.

How to Select
How to Shop for LED Pool Light
With no lights installed, fun pool activities are usually limited to daylight hours due to visibility and safety concerns. Proper lighting will allow you not only to take a refreshing plunge into the pool at night, but will also transform the appearance of the pool area and make water sparkle with light and color. Nighttime illumination also has a significant safety advantage. Borders of the pool and the water level can be clearly seen and in case of an accident, there all the conditions necessary to go to the rescue of the swimmer.
Pool lighting has come a long way in the last few decades. The days when the only option of a pool owner was to attach a spotlight to the wall closest to the pool causing an unpleasant glare are long gone. Today, night swimmers have a multitude of options, one of the best being the LED pool light. Many strengths of the LED are useful to pool lighting, including lower maintenance levels, longer lifetime, less battery drain, lower power consumption per lumen and more usable lumens per watt.
With LED pool lights, you can achieve either white or colored lighting effects. They use an insignificant amount of electricity but can provide a full array of wonderful colors. By turning the switch, you can set the light to a certain color or make it slowly change from one color to another, getting immersed in the color similar to visitors of ancient Egyptian, Indian, Chinese and Greek healing temples of light and color.
Colored lighting looks especially great if the pool surface is white, because colors produce a striking effect when contrasting with the white color. In a similar way, a white LED light would be perfect for colored surfaces because colored lighting would not mix so well with colored lights.
LED pool lights also range in voltage. Most of them match your home's 120-volt system, but 12volt appliances are also popular. These low voltage models are safe and do an excellent illumination job. Installing just one LED light is enough for most swimming pools but if the length of your pool exceeds 38 feet, consider getting two low-voltage lights.
Before choosing a LED pool light, make sure that the cord can reach the outlet. Cords range from 30 to 250 inches and average 100 inches, so measure the distance from the outlet to determine the minimum length of the cable.
Whether you would like to creatively illuminate your pool area for ambience or enhance the safety of your pool activities, LED lighting will accomplish both tasks and will also highlight the most prominent features of your aquatic environment.

|Adic Topologies for the Rational Integers
A topology on $\mathbb{Z}$, which gives a nice proof that the set of prime integers is infinite, is characterised and examined. It is found to be homeomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}$, with a compact completion homeomorphic to the Cantor set. It has a natural place in a family of topologies on $\mathbb{Z}$, which includes the $p$-adics, and one in which the set of rational primes $\mathbb{P}$ is dense. Examples from number theory are given, including the primes and squares, Fermat numbers, Fibonacci numbers and $k$-free numbers.

The off-white nylon 6/6 hex bolt has an external hex drive and meets American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM D4066 and D6779 specifications. Nylon 6/6 provides resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and many chemicals and solvents. The material is a strong yet lightweight plastic and is nonconductive. Nylon 6/6 can either absorb or lose moisture, which may alter its dimensions and mechanical properties. The external hex drive has six flat sides that a wrench can grip to turn the screw from the side, enabling use when there is no space above the head for a driver.
Cap screws and hex bolts are threaded fasteners with thick hex-shaped heads that can be used with threaded nuts or in areas with limited clearance above the tapped (threaded) hole. Cap screws have slightly different dimensions than hex bolts and have a washer face underneath their unflanged hex head to act as a large bearing surface against the mating material.

This case describes how Denmark has balanced the impacts of globalization, including outsourcing and movement of labor with its social welfare offerings. Reforms implemented during the past two decades drove down unemployment, promoted new company formation, and put the country at or near the top of international polls on the ease of doing business. The case describes how Danes forged a consensus that embraced international trade and outsourcing while supporting continuous upgrading of workplace skills. In April 2009, the new Prime Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, is balancing short-term responses to a global recession against longer-term planning for the Danish labor market and macroeconomy. Can Denmark keep its borders open to the free movement of goods, services, and labor while also sustaining the breadth of its welfare offerings?

The Anderson Laboratory focuses on the computational modeling of epilepsy as a method to understand the time and spatial evolutionary properties of seizures. Modeling methods include large array single compartment models and multicompartment simulations for the extraction of electrophysiological observables. Using these modeling tools, we explore how fast seizures spread, the spatial extent of spread, the spread of interictal spikes, and the introduction of therapies such as drug diffusion and electrical stimulation. The laboratory also explores the effects on memory encoding of theta phase specific stimulation during working memory tasks. Recordings derived from deep brain stimulation procedures are also used to learn more about motor imagery and motor planning.

: We've raised $1,800 and have $600 to go but donations have really slowed down. If you can help in any way, please do-- even a couple of bucks would go a long way.
We only have a little more than a day to raise the funds
FFS needs emergency donations to continue running
. We currently need to raise roughly $2,400.
We had an advertiser pull out and haven't been able to find a suitable replacement yet, so we're short on funds to pay the bills for the next few months. This has caused a rather huge shortfall in funds to pay the bills for the site.
I've covered significant shortfalls myself when I was in a position to do so but I'm unfortunately not right now so I have to ask the community for help. Our servers cost a lot of money-- FFShrine is a huge site, serving hundreds of thousands of dynamic, database-intesive pageviews a day. Additionally, we push over 30TB of bandwidth a month. We have to pay for three rather intensive servers; one for web, database, and a fileserver/backup. Our ads help defray the costs, but don't cover everything.
Be awesome and donate
. As soon as we cover the $2,400 they'll be turned back on immediately.
Donations of any amount help, even as little as a couple dollars.
As a special thanks for people willing to go the extra mile to keep FFS running, anyone who donates the following amounts will recieve a few perks:
$10 or more will get a random chance for lifetime forum supporter status-- 5 total will get it.
or more will receive a lifetime mass-downloads account at Galbadia Hotel.
or more will get the GH mass-downloads account PLUS supporter status at the forums (more PM space, slightly bigger avatars, possibly more to come ~)
Without these donations FFShrine will cease to exist.
Big thanks to anyone that helps out!
PLEASE consider donating. If we don't reach our goal, I have no way to keep FFShrine running.

Lost in the Colorado Rockies poor play is Jim Tracy's horrible moves
The passionate fans that remain mainly direct their ire at general manager Dan O'Dowd. He is the author of the "piggy-back" pitching situation, which was immediately a joke around the league. He is the founder of the theory that pitching at altitude creates massive injuries that end pitchers careers.
With all of the fire being directed in O'Dowd's direction, and the Rockies a long way from trying to convince anyone that they are in the race, Jim Tracy quietly continues to make terrible moves. If this team was anywhere near contending, some of the moves that Tracy has been pulling the trigger on would be getting far more criticism.
On Tuesday, the trend continued. With the Rockies down 4-2, well within striking distance, in the 7th inning, Tracy decided to bring lefty Rex Brothers to the mound. Jason Kubel led off the inning with a double Paul Goldschmidt hit a fly ball to move him to third base. With Justin Upton coming to the plate, Tracy decided to intentionally walk the slugger in order to set up the double play.
The premise is a good one. Upton is a dangerous hitter and putting him on first base sets up an inning-ending double play.
Fair enough, the move is conventional baseball wisdom. What happened after that made no sense. Brothers, who doesn't hold runners on well, threw a breaking ball to Miguel Montero. Upton took off and stole second base without a throw. So much for the double play. Immediately following the steal, Montero lined a pitch to center field, scoring two runs.
Conventional baseball wisdom would suggest that the move was the right one, and frankly, it was. However, depending on Brothers, who isn't good at holding runners on first base and doesn't possess a slide-step, and sometimes struggles when he gets out of his rhythm, isn't the smartest move in the world.
Consider the fact that Montero isn't exactly a slouch at the plate, leading all National League catchers in RBIs. Then consider the fact that Brothers had 51 strikeouts in 37-1/3 innings so far in 2012. With Upton at the plate, a guy who strikes out at a fairly decent rate, and things might be different.
Even with the decision, once Upton stole second base, the double play was out of order. The decision should have been made to walk Montero would have been the smart decision, especially when Brothers got down in the count.
Instead, the intentional walk essentially put an extra runner in scoring position for a good hitter who made the Rockies pay.
Admittedly, the move simply didn't work out for Tracy. Sometimes that happens. However, his in-game decisions have continued to be lacking. However, in the midst of a season in which people are counting down the days until the Broncos report to training camp, it is easy to overlook how bad Tracy has been.
As much as O'Dowd deserves blame for the way the 2012 season has gone, the fact is, one of his worst moves was to retain Tracy and put his faith in him. He is a bad manager, someone who won in 2009 simply because he wasn't Clint Hurdle, and has shown that ever since that season ended.
The Rockies look to avoid a sweep in Arizona on Wednesday night. The way this team has been playing, specifically the lackluster offense, it seems like the money should be on the Diamondbacks to walk away with the sweep.

I think your comments are spot on. It is always easy for anyone to second guess a manager in hindsight on any given night. It is part of being a fan and caring. However as you clearly point out it seems that we as fans are doing this night in and night out with Tracy which translates to losses and bad things happening when your doing that on a nightly basis. Why it's my opinion now that Tracy is not a bad manager it has become clear that he is not a good one either. It is time to hold everyone accountable from the GM to the manager and the players themselves as all have had a hand in this uneventful and painful season that has unfolded in front of us. Sometimes new blood in charge can inspire and motivate just by changing philosophy and routines. I would like to see that be done soon so that the new regime can set expectations and build on something the last part of the season so that come spring every player knows what the expectation and their accountability is for April of next year.

The Rockies are beginning to look like the Chicago Cubs of yore whose record was so bad they should have hired people out of the stands to play with them...the Monfort brothers have the final say with respect to this team and its success or the lack of it - perhaps they should sell the team and go on to other ventures....ReplyDelete
Anyone have Terry Francona's number?ReplyDeleteReplies
Jim Tracy is a class act. I watched a game where the Dodgers were playing the Cardinals or Phillies in a final division series game years ago. The Dodgers lost, and Jim Tracy with the manager. Tracy went out with any other Dodger players and coaches willing to join him, and congratulated the team that had just knocked them out of the playoffs. I like to see stuff like that. What I don't like to see is crazy gambles that rarely pay off. I watched a Rockies game a couple of years ago where Tracy left Ubaldo Jimenez in a game up to close to 140 pitches (no wonder he wound up with that debilitating blister), and was just giving up hit after hit blowing the game wide open for the other team. I know Tracy wanted him to get that coveted 20th win that year. But I think you have to put the team first. I personally like Jim Tracy. I'm a die hard Rockies fan, win or lose. I just don't understand his reasoning a lot of the time. Sadly, I think it's time for a change.Delete

Made with the colorful but perishable leaves of autumn, this wreath fleetingly captures the beauty of the season. The technique used to craft the wreath also works with longer-lasting evergreen foliage, such as magnolia, boxwood, and fir; but when applied to deciduous leaves that have just begun to turn, the results are brilliant.
Leaves that are somewhat thick or leathery to begin with will hold up better than paper-thin leaves, which are more likely to shrivel as they dry. For this wreath, designer Mark Kintzel of Allentown, Pennsylvania, collected foliage from a dogwood that displayed a rainbow of fall hues: chartreuse, amber, russet, and bronze. Expect the wreath to last a week or two as a table centerpiece indoors or twice as long when hung outdoors on a door or gate. Because the leaves aren't preserved with chemicals, they can be put into the compost pile when you're done with the wreath.
Continue reading to get started.
Gather tools and materials
Step 1
Twist a 1-inch loop of floral wire and secure it to the back of the frame. The loop will be used later to hang the wreath.
Step 2
Cluster three or more branches in a way that allows the leaves to feather naturally over each other; avoid crushing the leaves.
Using a short length of floral wire, secure the stems together.
Twist the wire to leave two ends about 3 inches long.
Step 3
Place the bundle of stems flat against the wreath frame and secure it in place with the wire. Snip off the excess wire and tuck the sharp ends behind the stems.
Step 4
Repeat step 3, placing each successive branch cluster so its leaves cover the stems of the previous cluster. Overlap the leaves densely to make a full wreath and hide the form entirely.
Tuck the last bundle of branches under the tips of the first.
A wreath of this size usually requires 10 to 12 leaf clusters. For variety, consider adding crabapple-laden twigs, sweetgum seed pods, or grass plumes.
