2004 Nissan Titan SE Crew Cab 2WD Review
My first full size truck. Needed something when kids got bigger and back seat has plenty of space for three FULL size adults. Towing is awesome. Have 5th wheel trailer and towed 19,623 lbs for three hours. Did great entire trip. Regularly exceeded tow capacity by 50% for two years
Rough ride. It's a truck.
Nissan Titan - One Awsome Truck — This was my first full size truck. It rides rough but it is a truck. Handles well for a full size truck. I used to own a small lumber yard and abused the truck for a few years. Power Train is still strong. 302K miles and just had regular maintenance. My third Nissan. Hard body and Frontier were it's predecessors. Both of them were great also. Just outgrew them with kids.

2004 Nissan Titan LE King Cab 4WD Review
Optional "big tow" package, 4WD, heated leather & power seats, Rockford-Fosgate stereo.
No gas saver
Reliable & Comfortable — Easy to drive and operate. Very reliable and comfortable. For a big truck, it's one of the best overall. Lots of power, towing capacity and comfortable on long trips. It does everything a little better than the competition. Does everything the American trucks do except with the added reliability of a Nissan.
Primary Use: Family transportation

Performance and quality
Gas mileage (like any other truck)
Great Truck — I love my truck, the acceleration is good but not the best. The quality has not been an issue in any way so far and it has just past the 51k mark. It is fun to drive even as a truck. Gas has become more of an issue as most of my driving is now in the city limits but I still really do love to drive it so makes it worth it.

Great looking truck. Powerful, has get up! Roomy in front, very comfortable. Reliable!
Back seat isn't roomy for a car seat..if you have an infant and like these trucks you would be best with a four door truck.
Great! — Reliable and rugged - Great truck, up to 130,000 miles. Trust to take all over the country as it has already been. Its pulled dually s out of ditches! 4x4 is great on the truck, gas mileage is horrible ofcourse lucky if you get 16 mpg. Lucky! Otherwise I love the style, always have hope they don't change it! Though as reliable as these trucks are i'll have it until it croaks...if ever!
Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

2004 Nissan Titan XE King Cab 4WD Review
Easy truck to drive and great for the tough work and long hauls.
Massive gas guzzler and though it'll last forever it gets pretty expensive when you have to start getting work done. It also cost way too much.
The Beast. — I love driving this car. It has a great sound and feel to it, a huge engine, the mirrors are great and make it really easy to drive (being a massive truck) and the subs under the seat make it a fun road trip car.

Product description
UFO Sightings and Abductions by aliens were the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. Dolores Cannon's work in hypnosis has taken the study beyond abduction. This accumulation of 12 years of cases includes: * Cases of missing time * Spacecraft from other dimensions and planes of existence * Condensed or distorted time * The differences and functions of various alien races * And much more Dolores traces the phenomenon from the simple to the complex. Exploring areas untouched by other investigators, she makes the unbelievable become acceptable and understandable.

Author information
Dolores Cannon is a past-life regressionist and hypnotherapist who specializes in the recovery and cataloging of "Lost Knowledge". Her roots in hypnosis go back to the 1960s. She has been specializing in past-life therapy since 1979.Dolores has become, perhaps, the world's most unlikely expert on the prophecies of Nostradamus. A retired Navy wife from Huntsville, AR, USA, Dolores was nearly fifty years old when she began experimenting with hypnosis and past-life regression. The results were, to say the least, quite spectacular!Working through several different subjects, Dolores was able to establish communication with the living Michel De Notredame, better known as the prophet, Nostradamus. His revelations and their impact on our own time are both fascinating and at times frightening.Dolores has written the three volume set "Conversations With Nostradamus", the series on the translation of Nostradamus' quatrains. This series contains the translation of almost 1000 prophecies, all interpreted for the first time and have been in print since 1989. It is considered the most accurate interpretation of the prophecies ever printed.During the past eighteen years Dolores has been a UFO investigator, using her skills as a regressionist to help people that been involved in abduction cases. She has written several books on the UFO information volunteers have revealed while under hypnosis.Dolores is now teaching her unique technique of hypnosis all over the world.In addition to the three volumes of "Converstations With Nostradamus", Dolores has completed:"The Legend of Starcrash", "Keepers of the Garden", "Legacy from the Stars", "A Soul Remembers Hiroshima", "They Walked With Jesus", "Jesus and the Essenes" and "Between Death and Life". "The Custodians", discusses in detail information regarding distorted time, screen memories, reasons for abductions, implants and much, much more....Her latest book, "The Convoluted Universe, Book One", goes further into complex metaphysica

My first two guns came in the SWAT TV kit, along with some handcuffs and a holster for the pistol I believe.
I remember the pistol was a revolver, but the rifle was a full sized M-16 A2 knock off that had this internal sound box that would go "clack, clack, clack" everytime you pulled the trigger.
It was AWESOME. I used to have to be dragged from the front yard where I was shooting invisible invaders.
Ah good times....
Excellent thread idea Benning, as usual....
Two gun Matel Fanner Fifty cowboy rig, just like Hopalong Cassidy.
People get the government they deserve.
I had the cowboy kit. 2 cap revolvers that used the rolls. I hated the red cowboy hat, tho. It felt good to load up and go blastin with both guns a-blazin'. Good times.
From C3Shooter:
Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
Too many lost brain cells to remember the first, but I do remember some of the best.
Twin revolver cap guns, faux stainless and pearl handles, with leather holsters.
A solid wood and blue steel musket and matching pistol. We set up a fort to defend from Indian attacks. Grilled cheese and Ovaltine for the victors, and we were always the victors.
The James Bond replica water pistol.
Planet of the Apes was briefly a TV show, and they had a set that came with a gorilla mask and a Thompson. You pulled the bolt back, squeezed the trigger, and the bolt would advance forward, making a clacking noise. Neat thing was, you could fire burst, or spray and pray.

Power Configuration Part 0: Introduction: Yikes, there is a lot that is not documented
I was hoping to write a brief two part overview of how to configure the various power settings for the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor. It was going to be concise and brief, allowing me to get on to the next topic. Unfortunately, as I dug into the topic further, I discovered that much of it is not very well documented. I found myself essentially writing quite a bit of explanation.
As usual, I am starting off writing this as a series of blogs. At a later point, I will reformat the blogs into a more formal article with any semblance of humor removed.
Android* Tutorial: Writing a Multithreaded Application using Intel® Threading Building Blocks
Recently we posted the "Windows* 8 Tutorial: Writing a Multithreaded Application for the Windows Store* using Intel® Threading Building Blocks". There we stated that the parallel calculation engine can be ported easily to other mobile or desktop platforms. Android is a good example of such a mobile platform.
Power Considerations of Web Image Animations

However, this improvement is limited to the factors that browsers can control.

Measuring application power consumption on the Linux* operating system
Power consumption is a common and growing concern in large compute installations, whether they be HPC, Cloud or Enterprise: facility power and space limitations are making it increasingly difficult to support the explosive growth of computational needs. Thus we need to dig deeper on how to best reduce power consumption at multiple levels, from hardware to software. In this article I will describe some of the known approaches and tools available to tackle this challenge.
C-States, P-States, where the heck are those T-States?
I had an interesting question come across my desk a few days ago: "Is it still worthwhile to understand T-states?" My first response was to think, "Huh? What the heck is a T-state?"
Doing a little more research, I discovered that, yes, there is something called a T-state, and no, it really isn't relevant any more, at least for mainline Intel(R) processors.
Let me say this again: T-States are no longer relevant!

City of Sarasota gets 3 bids for computer file review
Published: Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 5:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 5:21 p.m.
SARASOTA - Three companies have submitted quotes ranging from $11,500 to $24,000 to investigate allegations that City Manager Bob Bartolotta and his deputy "scrubbed" public records from their computers.
One of those companies, Sarasota-based Sylint, was called in to investigate similar claims that officials had deleted public records in Venice in 2008.
But the Sarasota inquiry, led by City Auditor and Clerk Pamela Nadalini, could delve even deeper.
Nadalini has also made steps to pay between $24,000 and $95,000 for an outside firm to evaluate the city's beleaguered information technology department — about a dozen employees whose access to public records fueled a public power struggle between Nadalini and Bartolotta.
Calling the move "a vote of no confidence," the city commission voted to strip the IT department from Bartolotta, placing it under Nadalini's office.
The investigation comes after a former state senator claimed Bartolotta and Marlon Brown, deputy city manager, ordered a city tech to delete public files from their laptops before the switch.
Bartolotta and Brown denied the allegations last month and surrendered their computers to be reviewed by experts who can digitally trace and discover deleted files.
Chance Craig, the city's IT director, also denied any files had been removed from the public record.
"I think the IT department and Bob Bartolotta responded accurately," Brown said. "We've volunteered our computers to confirm and affirm that."
Former Sen. Bob Johnson, a local attorney, sent his complaint to commissioners last month and declined to publicly reveal his source.
Heather Riti, the city's senior auditor, also relinquished her laptop, per Bartolotta's request, to be reviewed by an outside tech firm.
Vice Mayor Terry Turner, who has been critical of Nadalini in the past, called Nadalini's efforts "a waste of money" and questioned the investigation of claims made by a third party using an anonymous source.
"I'm pretty confident that that's not a good use of money," Turner said. "They're all backed up on the server."
The investigation is just one element of the widening fissure between Nadalini and Bartolotta and the internal finger-pointing that has ballooned in recent months.
Nadalini's office has also been criticized after a former auditor — who worked at the city for three weeks — sent an email to city commissioners in which she alleged various improprieties in the clerk's office.
In response, the commission voted to hire a local judge to investigate the claims.
Nadalini solicited the bids from computer forensics experts on her own, without taking the issue to city commissioners, through a request for quotations process.
Nadalini did not return phone calls seeking comment.
The city can reject the proposals, and it is unclear if or when the city will sign a contract with a firm.

Project Title: Increasing Capacity of Tibetan Entrepreneurial Ventures
A team of four to five graduate students will develop recommendations to improve the overall effectiveness and capacity of Tibetan-owned businesses in Dharamsala. As outlined below, part of this project will take place in the US, and part will take place on-the-ground in Dharamsala, India.
This project has three components:
- While in the U.S., the student team will meet virtually with their Lha liaison to gain a deeper understanding of Lha's purpose, goals, and initiatives, and further define the scope of the project. Students will be assigned 3 to 4 businesses that they will engage with while in India, and will conduct research prior to departing that includes but is not limited to:
- Tibetan culture
- Entrepreneurial best practices
- Product/Service/Trade/Industry-specific market research
- Virtual Interviews with business owners/employees (if possible)
- While in India the student team will work with the businesses to identify strengths, challenges, and new opportunities. The students will consider all aspects of the business and will aim to uncover new pathways for Lha to assist these organizations in reaching their business potential.
- Based on this research and assessment the student team will offer recommendations as to how Lha can best position its current services to have the greatest impact on the community, and recommend additional support services/training that would be helpful to local business owners.
Organization Background
Lha Charitable Trust is a grass-roots, 12AA & 80G non-profit and one of the largest Tibetan social work organizations based in Dharamsala, India. Lha provides vital resources for Tibetan refugees, the local Indian population, and people from the Himalayan regions. Founded in 1997 and registered as a charitable trust by the H.P Indian Government in 2005, Lha has continuously provided vital resources to those in need for over 17 years.
Lha plays a crucial role in facilitating the transition of Tibetan refugees from their homeland to the Indian community by providing long-term rehabilitation and educational resources. Each year programs and projects are adjusted to meet the conditions and needs of the region, yet the commitment remains constant: to help the Tibetan people thrive and prosper in their new home and to preserve their profoundly unique culture. Additionally, Lha offers volunteers and students the opportunity to engage in meaningful community service and social work and seeks to generate an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation within the community by tending to the needs of the impoverished and underprivileged.

Immunization now required for rising seventh grade students
The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) will require the Tdap vaccination for all students entering 7th grade beginning with the coming school year (2012-2013).
The Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) has previously been a recommended vaccination for this age group since 2006, and 41 other states have already implemented this particular vaccination requirement.

Ko Kradan
Eat and meet
Ko KradanWith no standalone restaurants on Ko Kradan, everything you eat and drink will come from a resort. Expect much higher prices than you'll pay on the mainland. Most of the resort restaurants are not worth mentioning; thankfully the few that are go beyond what we'd expect.
Paradise Lost had its humble beginnings not as a resort but a restaurant, and it continues to satiate its own guests and a constant stream of guests from other resorts and day tours. Nok and her team do an excellent job with Thai stir-fries, noodles and curries served in massive portions for between 120 and 200 baht. The bowl of green curry that we ordered seemed to be bottomless and the Jasmine rice served here is of a particularly fine variety. The som tam (papaya salad) is also perfectly balanced -- and they'll make it extra fiery if you ask. Many of the dishes incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs grown on site.
In addition to the great Thai food, Paradise Lost's other owner, Wally, has taught his staff to churn out real-deal American grub as well. Prepared on delicious white rolls that are shuttled here from an Italian bakery on Phuket, the burgers and bacon sandwiches are among the best we've found in Southern Thailand. You'll also find chicken, steak and whole fish barbecues served with baked potatoes, bread, salad and rice; the 500 baht price tags seem high until you see that a single order is more than enough to fill up two hungry travellers. Hearty breakfasts, fresh coffee, cold beer and basic cocktails are also served. A Phuket Italian also makes the exceptional gelato from scratch. While it doesn't have a sea view, Paradise Lost's restaurant is a great place to meet other travellers.
If you're in the mood for pizza, head down to Italian-owned Kalume Village. Though pricey (300 baht at a minimum), their dozen varieties of flatbread come out crispy and oozing with quality mozzarella. Standard pasta dishes are also available along with a long list of Thai options, though the Thai chef wasn't around when we stopped in. We were also disappointed that they were all out of chocolate mousse cake. Even so, the excellent espresso and Italian aperitifs like limoncello make a nice addition to the direct sea views.
Seven Seas' atmospheric restaurant overlooking the beach is probably the best choice on Kradan for a romantic dinner splurge. Dishes start at 300 baht and include a number of Thai, international and barbecue options, with wines and cocktails also available. If you're just after a sundowner cocktail to go with fast WiFi, Kradan Beach Resort has the liveliest beach bar, though it's by no means a wild party.

Dress your entrees, sides, and snacks up with Paleo salad dressings and dips. They're interchangeable with multiple applications. Who says pesto can't break free from it's conventional trappings as a pasta sauce and become a dip for veggies or skewers of meat, chicken or fish? Or serve as a dressing for simple tomato salad or something more complex such as an antipasto plate? If you prefer to keep things traditional, that's fine too. What would your tuna salad be without Paleo mayonnaise? What would your spinach salad be without Paleo vinaigrette? Salad dressings and dips add dimension and flavor to meals that would otherwise be oh so, "same old, same old." They'd be bland and boring and here at Paleo Plan we're devoted to banishing boring from the Paleo table.
Salad Dressings
- Cantaloupe and Avocado Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing
- Roasted Pork Fajita Salad with Coconut Lime Dressing
- Simple Salad Dressing
- Avocado Salsa

Xbox One
Just plain, simple real talk from a Xbox fan.
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
I don't post too actively on this board, because, between one poster going overboard with calling everyone bro's and all of the non-Xbox gamers who come here to complain about said product, it's just not desirable to post here. That being said, I was gaming the other night with a few of my friends in a party just bull****ing as usual. Laughs were had, aliens killed, and time that could have been deemed as wasted by many, felt like time well spent with friends across the globe I've gained through Xbox Live.
It's funny. Yes, the PC will always be the best place to game due to it's constant evolution. Yes, Nintendo has done a wonderful job with keeping their pillar franchises desirable. And yes, the PS4 is a great console which has had better tech power over the other consoles. That said, I don't want to be anywhere else than Xbox, nor do those who I've spoken with over Xbox Live and physically in person. Reason being: You go where your friends go, and I've picked up some good friends along the way with Xbox that I didn't with other consoles.
You can argue Xbox isn't powerful like the PC or PS4, but the games still look great regardless to myself and many others. You could tell me that the Xbox exclusives are scant in comparison to the likes of what Steam or PS4 has, but ultimately it doesn't matter to me if I don't want a quarter of those exclusives and many of the games I do want is multiplatform. You could go on and on about why the Xbox is actively not the place to be, but ultimately that argument as well will fall flat, because your subjective argument misses the point.
The best platform is not the one with the best tech, the most popular, or the best exclusives. It's where your adventures are the most surreal, where you find enjoyment, and a fun escape into a world with characters you cherish in stories that need to be told. Be your choice PC, PS4, Nintendo, or Xbox, the only thing that matters, is not what some person on the internet told you to like, but what you chose to like. And for me, it was Xbox, followed by PC, because of the community of actual Xbox players that I've fought in Mortal Kombat, killed Reapers with in Mass Effect, and chatted with while exploring Tamriel and other regions.
Anyways, here's to the posters happily enjoying their new gen and old gen platforms alike, be it under the Xbox house banner or not. May these upcoming years be memorable and Gamescom wow us.

"It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die."
Well said TC I feel the same way. You'll generally find that the specific game boards are populated by the more level-headed members of GameFAQs, whilst the console board is dripping with reassurance topics and buyer rationalisation, resolution/frames per second comparisons and the eternal drone of fanboys championing their console of choice. Sad really.
I only recently started visiting message boards and video game websites in general (outside of walkthroughs and such), I naively thought it may be a way to meet new people to game with. Alas I was wrong! Game on brother.

Regional Coats for Kids program left out in cold
After 25 years of collecting donated winter wear, Fargo television station KVLY has discontinued its popular "Coats for Kids" clothing drive, leaving the local Salvation Army scrambling to keep a smaller version of the program going this fall.
"It was very much a surprise," said Tai Clark, family services director at the Salvation Army office in Fargo, which serves Cass and Clay counties.

Dacor SGM466SH Classic 46" Stainless Steel Gas Sealed Burner Cooktop (View all from Dacor)
over 800 reviews
We are thrilled
"I never thought that I'd buy an appliance from a dealer 900 mikes away, but it looks like I am in good company! I first saw your store in person, since my son and his family live only two mikes away from your store. And then I found you online when I was trying to compare brands and features of a high-end under counter ice maker. We are thrilled. And your salesperson helped me compare various features to get just the right one. It arrived in perfect condition. We are delighted and will definitely be shopping for other appliances as needed, especially since we saved almost 20%!! Great concept and good people to do business with. Thanks!"
Excellent buying experience
"I really liked my experience with your company. 1. Your price was very competitive with other companies locally and on line. 2. Free shipping to my front door. 3. Ability to track my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. 4. Excellent customer service even during the New Year holiday. Called back with updated delivery. 5. Excellent buying experience."
Get ready for the Dacor SGM466SH 46" high altitude gas cooktop with 6 burners. Glistening stainless steel top and complimentary burner grates look vogue in any kitchen. Cleaning the bead blasted Spill-Basin is simple and cast iron grates are finished in porcelain-enamel to endure decades of hot cooking.
No pilot light or matches required using the Perma-Flame to spark a flame when you turn the controls on. In case a strong draft blows out flames the Automatic Re-ignition takes over and instantly re-ignites flames at same heating level as before it went out. Smart Flame prevents flames from breaching the grate fingers to reduce grate discoloration. Cook using brass burner rings and valves to improve the heating level for an even flame.
Six powerful burners means the Dacor SGM466SH is well qualified for busy cooks who cook on a large scale and fast. Goedeker's White Glove Shipping will deliver products in-home, have them unwrapped, ready for install and take away the old unit.

Editor's Notes: Thinking big in Baker
|| Print |
|Robin Doussard
|Thursday, June 24, 2010
Tiny, beautiful Baker City has, like most rural Oregon towns, long struggled to create new business and jobs out of the ashes of its natural resources industry. The seat of a remote county with a population of only 16,000, Baker suffers from high unemployment but it does not suffer from a lack of trying.
Richard Chaves was born in Baker (his grandparents immigrated to Durkee in 1912 after foregoing a trip on the Titanic) and he and his wife, Kathleen, are ardent supporters of their community. They co-own Chaves Consulting Inc. (CCI), which provides computing and hosting services for Oregon government agencies, and have made it their business to also try to create 100 family-wage jobs — with good benefits — in Baker. They decided that the support and help-desk side of their tech business could get them there and over the past several years they've snagged several big contracts that have grown their company to 18 employees.
Now CCI and several partners plan to open in late July a new data hosting center in the historic Baker Tower that Richard Chaves hopes will finally bring the rest of those 100 jobs to town.
"The Synergy Data Center and Services business is about a dream we all have of bringing a clean, green, job-producing industry into Baker County," he says.
CCI and its partners, Arikkan Inc. of Salem and Bend-based Sace Inc., are investing $1 million in phase one of the data center, which includes installing 42 racks that each holding 36 servers. The center will be a data and software storage and services facility, but it will be the related help-desk services it can offer that Chaves says will create the jobs.
"The data center itself doesn't require a lot of people," says Chaves. "It will create a few positions. But the spin-off jobs is where the potential exists." One new help-desk project in the works could create in two to three years those 100 jobs. Chaves says that project, not yet finalized, involves working with a state agency to be the redundant site for its critical applications.
Though Chaves "initially resisted" the data center idea but then "the pieces just fell into place." Those pieces included the renovated tower that made it an ideal spot for a data center; the 10-story building (left) is the tallest in Eastern Oregon, is highly secure, seismically sound and in a no-flood zone. Baker's cool weather also helps cut energy costs by reducing the number of days when AC is needed; and labor costs are lower.
Chaves says this all makes for highly competitive pricing for Synergy. Plus, Chaves says the local workforce is top-notch. "A lot of people here understand customer service," he says. "We never have trouble finding people to work in our help-desk jobs."
Synergy's partners want to make Eastern Oregon known for its high-tech industry. They plan to invest several million dollars over the next five years to build out 20,000 square feet of space in the data center.
"This is an example of how a rural area can have a competitive edge because they are a rural area and are using the Internet," Chaves says. "That's what's exciting to me."
It's a big dream, but big is not a stranger in tiny Baker.

Build safer cycle routes to boost health, say firmsLast updated at 12:01AM, March 20 2015
A coalition of major businesses have called on the leaders of seven major parties to put cycling 'at the heart of transport policy'
Three Scottish appeal court judges provoked uproar yesterday after they refused to impose a prison sentence on a car driver who killed two cyclists in separate incidents spanning almost 30 years.
The decision came only weeks after 6,000 people signed a petition supporting a Crown Office appeal in which prosecutors argued that Gary McCourt deserved at least eight months' imprisonment and a lifetime driving ban after he was convicted of causing the death of Audrey Fyfe by driving carelessly.
However, the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh — Lord Menzies, Lord Glennie and Lady Dorrian — yesterday rejected the call to alter the original sentence, under which McCourt was ordered to carry out 300 hours of community service and banned from driving for five years.
Mrs Fyfe, 75, died two days after McCourt clipped the back wheel of her bike as she cycled through Edinburgh in August 2011.
At the end of his trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, it emerged that McCourt, 49, had previously been jailed for two years after being convicted in 1986 of causing the death of another cyclist, 22-year-old George Dalgity, by reckless driving.
Cyclists north and south of the Border called the sentence a "disgrace" and a "travesty" and Mrs Fyfe's grieving family voiced disgust and disbelief.
Her husband, Ian Fyfe, 81, said: "I can't believe it. It sends out the wrong message to other drivers.
"The judiciary is not fit for purpose ... I don't think he should have been jailed, that would just be a waste of taxpayers' money, but I felt that he should definitely have been banned from driving for the rest of his life.
"I'm disgusted, absolutely disgusted."
Aileen Brown, the couple's daughter, said the court's decision left her "lost for words".
She added: "The police here did an admirable job for us but the Scottish justice system appears to have had complete disregard for government policy.
"The decision to allow Gary McCourt and drivers like him to drive again suggests that the judiciary are frightened to grasp the nettle and make decisions which would make our country a safer place to live."
Chris Oliver, chairman of the the Cyclists' Touring Club, Scotland, said: "Six thousand people signed the petition to get this appeal and we are pleased that it was heard, but we are really disappointed [by the result] and Audrey Fyfe's family are pretty devastated.
"It's a travesty that McCourt will be allowed to drive again very soon. We need a fundamental change to road justice to protect the most vulnerable people on the roads."
Earlier this month MSPs voted unanimously to strengthen the enforcement of road traffic law, particularly for incidents resulting in death or injury.
Alison Johnstone, Lothian's Green MSP, supported calls for a review.
"There is widespread agreement that a man who has killed two cyclists is being let off lightly, and at the very least should receive a lifetime driving ban," she said.
Oliver Jeffcott, a London cyclist, blogger and personal-injury lawyer, said: "This [decision] is a disgrace and indicates a profound lack of understanding of cycling safety concerns in Scotland and across the UK."
At the appeal hearing last month, Solicitor General Lesley Thomson argued that the trial judge, Sheriff James Scott, had made mistakes when applying the sentencing guidelines, resulting in an "unduly lenient" sentence.
Insufficient weight had been placed on McCourt's previous conviction for killing another cyclist, she argued.
She added that the sheriff was wrong to take into account the fact that Mrs Fyfe was not wearing a cycle helmet, a point which appeal judges agreed with.
However they ruled that the sentence was "appropriate".
Lord Menzies wrote: "Despite the sheriff's error in treating the fact that Mrs Fyfe was not wearing a cycle helmet as a mitigatory factor, we are unable to say that the sentence of a community payback order with the maximum number of unpaid hours was unduly lenient.
"It did not fall outside the range of sentences which the sheriff applying his mind to all the relevant factors could reasonably have considered appropriate."
A coalition of major businesses have called on the leaders of seven major parties to put cycling 'at the heart of transport policy'
Sir Chris Hoy has called on the major parties to make "ambitious" pledges to boost cycling in their manifestos, saying it would be a "dream scenario" if the streets were safe enough for his infant son to cycle to school with his Olympian father when he is older

NVIDIA Nurien Technology Demo
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/13/2008 02:39 AM [ 0 comment(s) ]
You need NVIDIAs PhysX driver and a ForceWare PhysX ready driver for this demo.
Some might say, it's just another way to look at pretty rendered women. The developer says this software will be a social network kind of game (like Second life) where you can dress yourself up, and you can actually check your clothing while moving around (PhysX accelerated). This demo is impressive for sure as you can design your own avatar. The engine is actually UT3 based, which explains the easy adoption of PhysX, and the developer immediately took advantage of it. At a recent editors day at NVIDIA the crowd went wild when they saw this demo. Whether that has to do with the impressive graphics or the fact that I think the girls boobs are actually PhysX enhanced (they bounce according to Einstein's law of gravity) doesn't matter. It's just impressive to see. When you try out this demo, observe the clothing simulation, curtains, hair and in the background the smoke particles.

For more information on NVIDIA PhysX and the PhysX pack please read this article.

Pro-abortion campaigner is new head of Girl Guides: Which she describes as 'the ultimate feminist organisation'
- Julie Bentley, 43, is former head of the Family Planning Association
- Former Girl Guides include Cat Deeley, Carol Vorderman, Zoe Ball and Emma Thompson
Julie Bentley: 'Girls today face real and unique challenges as they grow up - I want our programme to continue responding to those challenges'
A leading abortion rights campaigner has been named as the new chief executive of the Girl Guides.
Julia Bentley – who for five years ran the campaign group supporting abortion rights and sex education – said that she was delighted at her appointment to 'the ultimate feminist organisation'.
However, her role at Girlguiding UK has raised eyebrows among some religious groups and those who are concerned about the premature sexualisation of girls.
Under Miss Bentley's leadership the fpa – formerly known as the Family Planning Association – sells condom demonstrators for use by girls as young as 11 and opened an online sex shop sells sex toys and aids to customers of any age, subject only to some users ticking a box to confirm they are over 18.
Girlguiding UK yesterday said that girls face challenges growing up and Miss Bentley will 'ensure guiding continues to meet those challenges head on'.
Miss Bentley also insisted that there was no contradiction between her previous work at the fpa and her appointment to the £85,000-a-year job.
'I have worked in a wide range of settings and I have a broad insight into what affects girls,' she said. 'I don't think any of this is at odds with the Girl Guides. In fact I believe the Guides is the ultimate feminist organisation.'
The move comes at a time when the movement has been in competition with the Scouts to attract members.
Although the female-only Guides have 538,000 members from the age of 11, the Scouts, who have been recruiting girls since the 1970s, have more than 66,000 in their ranks.
Confidence: Julie Bentley hopes to encourage young girls to become confident, self-assured women
Miss Bentley's appointment was criticised by Christian groups and family campaigners last night.
They claimed that the campaigner was an unsuitable figure to run the movement which should provide girls with an alternative to celebrity culture and early sex.
Back in the day: A Brownie in 1970s England
Mike Judge, of the Christian Institute think-tank, said: 'I do not think she is a fitting individual to run the Girl Guides.
'The Girl Guides is an organisation which should protect girls from these sorts of pressures.'
Jill Kirby, an author and researcher specialising in social policy, said: 'One of the reasons why girls want to join the Guides, and their parents are happy that they should do so, is that they can learn leadership qualities and escape from the sex and television culture.
'I would have hoped that anyone leading the Guides would understand that. I don't believe that Miss Bentley does.'
The fpa was one of the leading state-subsidised organisations which, under Tony Blair's government, attempted to reduce teenage pregnancy rates.
Although levels did fall, the campaign fell far short of its target of halving pregnancies among girls under 18.
It is currently selling a condom demonstrator as part of a catalogue of 'young people resources aged 11 and above' alongside sex education leaflets for girls of 12 and over.
One booklet, called Sex, Love, Relationships, tells young readers they are ready for sex if they can answer 'yes' to four questions.
It says: 'Ask yourself these questions: Do you want to have sex (for you, not for someone else)? Do you like, trust, respect your partner?
'Are you prepared to take responsibility for having safer sex? Are you prepared for the possible emotional rollercoaster of rejection or break-up?'
The way we were: English Girl Guides in Hertfordshire in 1950
- One in five girls think women are treated less fairly by employers
- A fifth worry their career chances are worse than their mothers
- Two thirds believe woman are still judged more on looks than ability
- One-in-three would consider surgery to change their appearance
This year the organisation has opened an online shop, Desire And Pleasure, which sells a wide range of sex toys and aids alongside condoms. Items on sale include 'bondage gear'.
Miss Bentley said in an interview with The Times: 'Everyone has heard of the Girl Guides but not everyone understands that today it is very different.
'They are rooted to the image of what the Guides were years ago. I want to help the public understand what they Guides are now.
'It is not about itchy brown uniforms and sewing and baking. It is a modern, contemporary, vibrant organisation.
'Guides in 2012 are more likely to be investigating a muddy ravine, going overseas to help on an Aids programme, or going to one of our pop concerts.'
Girlguiding UK is Britain's largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women, with more than 500,000 members and recognised volunteers.
Over a third of girls and young women aged seven to 21 have been involved with the movement, with former Guides including Carol Vorderman and Emma Thompson.
There are now 31million Scouts and ten million Guides in 216 countries around the world.
The organisation was formed before the First World War following the success of the Boy Scout movement, founded by Robert Baden-Powell.
The Boer War hero disapproved of girls and boys mixing freely and so encouraged his sister Agnes to set up a girls-only organisation.
It was named after a frontier regiment in the Indian Army.

Gardener's Soap, southern style
This is not my original recipe, but one I got from Libby Dryden. It has been a consistent seller in our shop (seasonally, I don't make it during the winter months). I always make a two pound batch. I use SFIC Melt and Pour bases. For this recipe I use one pound of white base and one pound of goatsmilk base. Once the bases are melted, I add in two tablespoons of unmelted shea butter. After the shea butter has melted and I have stirred it into the base good, I add 2 tablespoons of Fresh Cucumber fragrance oil (from WSP). I then remove from the heat (I use a make-shift double boiler method for melting), and add 1 tablespoon of yellow cornmeal (or try the Mexican Blue Cornmeal if you can find it anywhere for some color variation) and one tablespoon of grits (not the instant kind). You have to let this really cool down before pouring it into the mold or the cornmeal and grits will all sink to the bottom.
I made this soap the other day, LOVE it but I cheated (always have to) and put oatmeal in it as well, looks and smells awesome. I think I will display mine in a big clay gardening pot with a old looking wood sign that says "Grubby Gardners Soap".
I also rec'd my FO for the coffee soap, I got Cappacino (ok, can I say it smells good enough to drink) I have gotten so much better at suspending my ingredients, my soaps look 100% now, before I was pouring to quick and getting settling, no settling now.
I was thinking about getting this cool silicone mold for the coffee soap that has coffee beans on the top but I wonder if I should make in the loaf mold and cut or I wonder how real coffee beans would look in the soap? Got to play with it a little.
Do any of you get Cicadas? We do, they will be here in May (just in time for my first huge outdoors show) I am just worried now about attendance. Cicadas are gross.
Good luck with the show--and the bugs. Heard on the weather channel today that they were expecting the cicadias in IN, & OH around May 21st. Showed pics of them......ugly critters!
This also came out great for me. Except I just used grits & added oatmeal. I **HAD** some blue cornmeal-got it off ebay JUST for this........had it with all the other stuff I ordered to make these soaps.
Looked high & low. I'm sure it will turn up, but danged if I was gonna go out to the store JUST for cornmeal! Just doubled the grits & added a bit of oatmeal.
Sheesh, I hate when things just up & walk off......
Anyway, soap came out good. But man takes forever to get it cool enough to suspend!
I give you credit girl, doing all these "suspended" soaps.
If you can do these, CP won't be a problem for you!
I have looked high and low for blue cornmeal but have never been able to find any. I never thought of checking on Ebay. You know you will find that cornmeal when you are not looking for it- that's what always happens! LOL. This soap is a little harder to suspend, isn't it? By the time it is suspending nicely, you can almost spread it in the mold instead of pouring! I still haven't tried my hand at CP because I don't have a mold. The only molds I have are Milky Way molds and I am not sure if they can be used for CP.
