36 year old man | Anaheim, CA, USA | Seeking women 28-35 within 25 miles
Nice guy looking to not finish last
First thing first, and let's get this out there right off the bat, but I am divorced. Seems that a lot of people seem to get turned off by that bit of information. I don't see it as a bad thing. I married my college sweetheart, we were together a total of 14 years and just the people we were at the time of separation was not the people we were in the beginning. But I know now exactly what I am looking for, and I certainly know what it takes to keep a relationship together. That out of the way let me continue. Now let's get to more about me. I was born and raised in Orange County, and up until recently kept myself behind that Orange Curtain. With work requiring me to be in LA on a regular basis I am discovering more and more things to do. Would love to find someone to go on those adventures with. Makes the traffic in and around LA more tolerable too if we can use the carpool lane. :) I went to school at Chapman University and studied graphic design. My first choice was actually marine biology. I was going to be the next Jacque Cousteau, or would have even settled to be the next Steve Zissou. Sometimes wish I could develop a time machine to go back tell past self to keep going with that. But oh well, can't live life with regrets. I currently produce and edit video features for one of the top independent sports sites in the world. My job is extremely interesting and very demanding. It also requires me to submerse myself deeply into the world of sports. Therefore it's very important that the women I date be at least remotely interested in sports. When I am not worrying about who the next head coach of the Lakers is going to be, I enjoy discovering new craft beers at some of the local gastropubs, discovering new music and going to live concerts, bowling, golf, live comedy shows, laughing with friends and sometimes just curling up on the couch.

Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a four year old Golden Retriever who is pretty much the most important thing in my life. I really can't imagine my life without him. It's amazing how no matter how terrible a day I have had, I come home, see his wagging tail, and all is right.

Along with Saffron Road brand, it pitches Muslims via Facebook and Twitter.
Whole Foods and upstart natural meals brand Saffron Road are employing Facebook, Twitter, and blogs to target Muslims for Ramadan, a month-long spiritual holiday beginning Aug. 1. While the former brand is focusing on earned media, the latter has begun buying Facebook ads, as well as paid promotions on Elan, a Muslim lifestyle content site, and Zabihah.com, a halal restaurants guide.
Saffron Roads' Facebook ads target users who have identified themselves as Muslims in their profiles. They're being pitched a 50 cents donation to charity if they "like" the brand's page on the social site. Beneficiary charities are Whole Planet Foundation, The International Federation of Red Cross, and Red Crescent Societies.
A skyscraper ad is in rotation on Elan, offering a $1 off coupon with the copy, "Try Saffron Road's NEW Halal products for Ramadan." Similar creative is running via a box ad (300X250 pixels) on Zabihah.com.
It's the initial full-fledged Ramadan-based campaign for Saffron Road, a one-year-old brand owned by American Halal Co. that says 30 percent of its customer base practices Islam. Lisa Mabe, spokesperson for the company, told ClickZ News that the paid ads began July 15. And while they will run through the entire month of Ramadan, ending the morning of September 1st, she explained the two weeks prior to the start of the holiday are of utmost importance.
"Often times, Muslims' online activity dies down a little bit during Ramadan because it's a fasting period," Mabe explained. "People are tired and hungry during the holiday, so they are not spending as much time on the web."
Whole Foods has begun posting articles by My Halal Kitchen blogger, Yvonne Maffei. The current post offers a storytelling contest where the winner who best describes how they get through Ramadan fasts with wholesome foods will receive five freebie coupons for Saffron Road items and a $100 Whole Foods gift card. The contest is being promoted via the blog and the grocer's @WholeFoodsPR Twitter account. In Maffei's posts, she will not only recommend Saffron Road products, but other halal-certified items available at Whole Foods.
Early this afternoon, the retailer tweeted the following message: "Check out @MyHalalKitchen recipe for tabbouleh & a chance to win great giveaways from @SaffronRoadFood & @WholeFoods http://cot.ag/rmKYyG http://cot.ag/rmKYyG."
Whole Foods also plans to begin pushing the initiative via its Facebook wall on July 31, according to an email from the Austin, TX-based company.
Mabe added, "Saffron Road is the first halal-certified brand to be available nationwide in a store like Whole Foods. That's significant for the Muslim consumer."

The game's title screen
As each section of the game loads the player gets to see a pretty picture like this. The status bar is across the bottom of the screen.
Games can be saved. This is the screen that is shown when a saved game is loaded
The game starts with an animated introduction which shows Daisy, intrepid girl reporter, infiltrating the baddies lair live, on-air, and of course talking all the time
Gyro has a way to help Donald save Daisy but he needs more power so Donald must first set up a reflector dish on the top of a mountain.
What could go wrong?
It took ages to work out how to exit Gyro's lab and until that happens the game does not begin.
This is the way out but I cannot divulge how it is triggered
Donald arrives at the place where all jumping off points begin.
Hughey explains that Donald has to collect bits of machinery.
Character interaction is triggered by approaching them and standing in the right spot
So the game consists of running, jumping and collecting stars
There are great chasms to be crossed which requires expert timing
red boxes must be jumped on because they release starts and other stuff
Baddies and inconvenient elks can be thumped. Using the thump key while Donald is in the air causes him to kick
The player has only three lives.
Fail on a few jumps and they are soon used up

Dehradun: Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi said today the conservation of the environment has become a challenge in the state which needs to be taken seriously.
"Conserving the fragile ecology of this hill state is a tough challenge that needs to be tackled on a priority basis," Qureshi said while honouring Sampoornand Bharti with the `Green Award` at a function organised by the Confederation of Indian Industries here
Bharti runs an NGO named `Doodhatoli Lok Vikas Sansthan` at Pauri which works in the field of environment protection.
Showering praise on Bharti for his dedicated service to the cause of environment protection, the Governor said it was due to efforts made by people like him that India`s traditions, culture and environment are alive today.
The Uttarakhand chapter of Confederation of Indian Industries confers the "Green Award" annually on people making notable contribution to environment protection.

More business-oriented than Midtown West, Midtown East is home to many noteworthy sights, including Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations, the Chrysler Building and St. Patrick's Cathedral.

In a rare face-to-face meeting, Republican Rep. Kristi Noem and Democratic challenger Matt Varilek sparred over tax policies, health care and the congresswoman's attendance record in committees in their second debate of the campaign.
The two candidates for South Dakota's lone seat in the U.S. House often ignored the moderator to engage in a spirited give and take at the debate sponsored by the Rapid City Journal.
Varilek says he supports some spending cuts, but taxes should also be raised on the wealthy to limit cuts to essential programs.
Noem says she does not support tax increases in a shaky economy.

Summer riding gear for women
Top 10
Motorcycle jacket
Yes it's summertime, but summer evenings on the open road can be a bit chilly. Plus a leather jacket means you won't be dinged with bugs or tiny bits of debris along the way. The classic leather biker jacket is an absolute must and we love this one from Harley-Davidson (those who know riding best). This lightweight leather jacket has a modern cut and collar so you can pair it with just about anything. This jacket is available at harley-davidson.com.

I think most of the liberals in New York stae are on that white island at the bottom right of the map. I do a fair amount of business in Elmira and the Buffalo area. None of those people are happy with this crap. Quite a few would like to cecede from New York and leave it to the turds in the city, but the turds in the city are too willing to stick with the rest for all of the tax money they swallow up from the rest of the state.
In 1983 I was offered a job in Woodstock, NY. I found then that the property tax for a 1750 sq foot, 15 year old house on 3/4 of an acre, was worth over $4000 in property taxes. With the greater income tax and higher sales taxes to support NYC, I could not afford to take the job. The raise they offered was not enough money to cover the taxes!
No, most of NY State has had their fill of NYC.
A bad day at the range is better then a good day on the job!
and now many NY'rs are showing it ... they deserve all the support we can give them
I'm surprised. I figured all the New England states would cave to Obama. I'll pray for 'em.
This settles my stomach. This PA resident has been looking at NY as "the plague victim next door".

safe plastic container
I wanted to buy rubbermaid containers for my hydroponic setup.
Then I noticed the strong smell from the plastic.
I plan to grow peppers and will be eating them, I don't want any leaching of plastic/chemicals in the peppers.
Do I need a special type of plastic for hydroponic containers?
How do I know if a plastic is food safe / food grade ?
nope, no special plastic needed. nothing will leech out in dangerous ammounts. you can try rinsing them out with warm soapy water and leaving them out in direct sunlight for a few days to get rid of that smell but it wont hurt you or the plants.
I have used an aquarium heater with few problems. Just make sure you use the proper wiring - always use a GFC circuit when using electrical devices in water (BE SAFE). As for safety of the plastic, the previous poster is correct. To get rid of the plastic smell, clean with a soap and diluted bleach mixture in the container, and then let sit in the hot sun for a while. The plastic will out-gas and then no longer smell. I have used the same Rubber Maid container in a bubbler system for six years.
Good Luck
Hi, basically any plastic labeled as number 2, 4, or 5 is ok for food. Although I don't agree with everything on this web site link I"ll paste in here, they do have a good summary (PDF file) of different types of plastics and what leaches out of them:
The PDF file is near the bottom of the page, but actually the page itself pretty much summarizes it all.
I am also going to be building my first rubbermaid system in a few days, which will also be my first hydroponic system. I would eventually like to experiment with other materials though, even though they will be more expensive I imagine - just to be able to get away from using plastic.
I'm not a fan of PVC pipe, even though my house has it. It's safety seems questionable as well.
Rubbermaid is plastic. There is a FDA approved food safe rubbermaid reservoir just click the link below.
I do not know if the ones in WalMart and Lowes and other places are safe -AND- the ones I have seen are pretty thin. I would be afraid of solution leaking out.
Here is a link that might be useful: Food Safe Rubbermaid Container
Yes, thanks for the link. It is exactly that type of "roughneck" container which I plan on buying. They are significantly more rigid / thick than other storage containers and as the link says they block a lot of light but not all. It is however encouraging to see that if you get the "indigo blue" color it blocks algae growth, according to that website. It's encouraging to see a hydronic dealer selling them for this specific purpose :)
Also I've seen these containers used even in the how-to hydroponics book written by Keith Roberto, and some of them are outdoor systems.
My only major current concern is the temperature of the nut. soluction. I plan on getting some type of submersible thermometer to lay on the bottom of the reservoir so I can track how that's doing. It'll probably be ok now heading into winter but I may have to sink the container a foot or so into the ground come summertime - not sure yet.

Uber presents testimony in front of Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission judges
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Thursday, August 21, 2014
Uber continues to make its case in Pennsylvania, arguing for a permanent place on the transportation landscape.
During a hearing in Pittsburgh on Monday, the local attorney for Uber instructed a witness not to answer questions about the number of rides the company has provided while under a cease-and-desist order, despite a court order compelling the company to reveal the information.
It was the most contentious point of the daylong hearing, which allowed Uber to present testimony before Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission administrative law judges. Under consideration is Uber's application to begin permanent, experimental service in Allegheny County and other points in Pennsylvania. The application was met with protests by several dozen taxi companies, including Ambridge-based JB Taxi...
To comply with the emergency temporary authority, the ride-sharing companies were required to show their insurance policies provide primary coverage when drivers are conducting ride-sharing business, and that the policies meet PUC standards. The PUC issued a certificate of public convenience good for 60 days to Lyft last week. Uber's temporary application is pending review of documents submitted, according to a PUC spokeswoman

Historic property where George Washington camped up for sale
The Wall Street Journal
Thursday, August 21, 2014
A 9-acre property where George Washington and his troops are said to have camped during the Revolutionary War is available for $14 million.
The property is located on Lewis Lane in Whitpain Township, about 25 minutes outside of Philadelphia. It includes a six-bedroom, five-bathroom house built in 1913 but extensively renovated and restored, according to owner Steven Korman, founder of Korman Communities, a Pennsylvania-based developer of hotels and apartments. Mr. Korman said he added about 9,000 square feet to the original 5,000-square-foot house, incorporating a century-old stone wall that had been in the garden and adding modern touches like a movie theater, gym, wine cellar, saltwater pool and elevator. Between buying the house and the renovation, he said he spent about $13 million. The house is being sold fully furnished.
Washington's troops camped in the Lewis Lane area in 1777 after the Battle of Germantown, on their way to Valley Forge, according to Marie Goldkamp, president of the Historical Society of Whitpain.
A self-described "history buff," Mr. Korman said the history of the property, which had been owned by the same family from the 1700s until Mr. Korman bought it more than four years ago, was "a huge thing for me." He added that one room in the house displays his collection of letters written by U.S. presidents, including Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson. These aren't included in the sale price.

Philadelphia eatery named No. 2 new restaurant in the country
Bon Appetit
Thursday, August 21, 2014
High Street on Market
, in Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood, was named the number two new restaurant on
Bon Appetit
's highly anticipated national list.
I dare anyone who has jumped on the gluten-free bandwagon (without a doctor's note) to eat at High Street on Market and still call himself gluten-intolerant. You don't stand a chance. Know why? Because chef Eli Kulp basically built this restaurant around head baker Alex Bois's superstar bread program.
Let's start with the breakfast sandwiches, specifically the Forager: seared king oyster mushrooms, braised kale, fried egg, Swiss cheese, and black trumpet mushroom mayo piled on one of Bois's cloudlike kaiser rolls. Hell, put a tofu burger and vegan "cheese" on one of those things and I would still—greedily!—order it again. The black squid-ink bialy stuffed with smoked whitefish may sound questionable, but I promise it will be something you crave for weeks afterward.
Abstinence won't be any easier at lunch. The "Best Grilled Cheese Ever," served on house-made roasted potato bread, delivers on its inflated claim. And no dinner here would be complete without more of Bois's signature loaves: levain with vegetable ash, anadama miche (made with molasses and cracked corn), and buckwheat cherry, to name a few. If, at this point, you are wondering if the No. 2 restaurant on this year's list got here on its dough alone, the answer is -- unequivocally and emphatically -- a very carby yes.

Exercise equipment arrives at Philadelphia International Airport
The New York Times
Thursday, August 14, 2014
As Flying Kite witnessed on a recent trip out west, Philadelphia International Airport is now home to exercise equipment for antsy travelers. When we walked through, many of the stationary bikes were occupied.
Sitting on an exercise bike in Terminal D on a recent morning, Ms. Donofree was cycling at a leisurely pace, wearing jeans and checking her phone as jets taxied outside.
Without becoming sweaty, changing her clothes or paying fees to an airport gym, she was able to exercise while remaining near her departure gate, thanks to a set of newly installed workout machines.
In late June, the airport became the first in the United States to provide three types of low-impact stationary bikes for travelers to use in the terminal, free of charge, while waiting for their flights.

PA's RJ Metrics moves into larger space, extolls lean startup principles in New York Times
The New York Times
Thursday, August 14, 2014
Robert J. Moore, founder and CEO of Philadelphia's RJ Metrics, wrote about his company's move to a bigger office on the New York Times' 'You're the Boss' blog, reflecting on lean startup principles.
We had learned years ago that company culture isn't about perks. Ping-Pong tables, funny posters, and free lunches are outputs of culture, not inputs to it. If any of our team members ever say they work at RJMetrics because of the chairs, I should be fired.
I admire those bigger companies that have been true to their lean roots during periods of extreme growth. Amazon famously provided employees with
desks made of old doors
, even as its headcount grew into the hundreds. To this day, Wal-Mart has its traveling executives
sleep two to a room at budget hotels
Just like the perks, however, these lean-minded policies are only healthy if they are the outputs of culture, not inputs meant to shape it. A team that is aligned on a core mission and values will wear them as a badge of honor. A team that isn't will go work somewhere else.
As we grow, the balancing act of "lean success" will only get more complex. After all,
being lean is not the same as being cheap
, and separating these two can be hard when you're in uncharted territory. We will invest heavily in building an inspired and empowered team – but we will check our egos at the door. Easier said than done? Definitely.

Pennsylvania team cruises into Little League World Series
Washington Post
Thursday, August 14, 2014
Behind the arm of phenom Mo'Ne Davis, Philadelphia's Little League team triumphed; they're heading to the Little League World Series in Williamsport.
It's a truism in baseball that, in the postseason, the team with the best pitching usually wins. So it was on Sunday in Bristol, Conn., when Mo'Ne Davis hurled
a three-hitter
to lead Taney Youth Baseball Association Little League of Philadelphia past Newark National Little League of Delaware, 8-0. The win secured a spot for Davis's squad, representing the Mid-Atlantic Region, in the Little League World series. That tournament starts Thursday, and Davis will have a chance to win it all in her home state, as it will be played in Williamsport, Pa.?..
She became the 18th girl to appear in the LLWS, joining Emma March, whose
South Vancouver squad
won the right to represent Canada on the same day.
Davis and March will become the
third pair of girls
in the same LLWS since the tournament began admitting girls in 1974. In addition to being the 40th anniversary of that change in policy, it is also the 75th anniversary of the tournament.

Commonwealth institutes new scholarship program
The Morning Call
Thursday, August 14, 2014
This year, the Ready to Succeed Scholarship Program will be available for college students attending private and public schools in Pennsylvania.
The state has allocated $5 million in the budget for the merit-based scholarship, and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, which is administrating the program, expects about 3,600 students will receive an award this year. Colleges can't start nominating students until Friday, but because the awards will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, East Stroudsburg plans to get all the work out of the way now so as many as possible can receive a scholarship.
"We definitely want to apply for this program," said Kizzy Morris, registrar and director of the student enrollment center. "As many students as we can find to qualify for this we will nominate." To qualify, students must have completed their freshman year, have at least a 3.25 GPA and family income cannot exceed $110,000. Students who receive needs-based scholarships are eligible as well. There is no limit for how many students a school can nominate, PHEAA spokesman Keith New said.

Wegmans plans new store in Pennsylvania
Thursday, July 31, 2014
Wegmans, the beloved grocery chain, is planning a new Pennsylvania location in Concordville, PA.
Each year, thousands of people who have visited our store for the first time, or moved to a place without Wegmans, write asking that we build a store in their town. Since we open just two or three new stores each year, it would be impossible to oblige every request.
Today, we have stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts. You'll see from our list of future projects that our new store growth is concentrated in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, though we will continue to upgrade or replace older stores in our more mature markets, like New York. There are other sites we are working on, but are not at liberty to disclose as yet.

It's a go for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Southern Beltway extension
Thursday, July 31, 2014
A $666 million project to extend the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Southern Beltway between Interstate 79 and Route 22 in Washington County received unanimous support on Monday.
"We need to think bigger as a region. We need to be aspirational, or we'll get what we've always gotten," said Steve Craig, chairman of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission and a Lawrence County commissioner.
The turnpike project is part of a larger, $4.7 billion proposal to address Western Pennsylvania's transportation needs during the next four years, starting on Oct. 1. The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, a 10-county planning agency, unanimously approved it.
Increased state funding from Pennsylvania's new transportation law beefed up the SPC's four-year plan. Approved every two years, the plan adopted in 2012 was $3.1 billion, down from $3.6 billion in 2010 and $4.2 billion in 2012.
Building the Southern Beltway will become the turnpike's biggest single project, said Brad Heigel, the agency's chief engineer. Construction of the 19-mile section of highway is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2016 and end in 2019.

T Magazine shines a light on food halls, including Philly's legendary Reading Terminal Market
The New York Times
Thursday, July 31, 2014
Food halls -- like the wildly-popular Eataly in New York -- are a growing trend. Philadelphia's own Reading Terminal is undergoing a renaissance.

Penn State researchers tackle 'precrastinators'
The New York Times
Thursday, July 24, 2014
Apparently there are some folks out there who, instead of putting things off, race to finish them. Penn State researchers took a look at this phenomenon of "precrastination."
"There is an overwhelming tendency to precrastinate,"
according to a paper
published in May in the journal Psychological Science. The behavior might include answering trivial emails, for example, or paying bills far ahead of time. "It's an irrational choice," the paper said, but it also reflects the significant trade-offs people make to keep from feeling overwhelmed.
The paper described an experiment at Pennsylvania State University that was meant to explore decision-making when it comes to physical effort. Students were asked to carry a beach bucket down an alley. They were given a choice: They could pick up a bucket near the start of the alley and carry it to the end, or they could pick up a different bucket that was closer to the end of the alley, walk a few steps and put it down.
The researchers assumed that most of the subjects would choose the bucket that required the least amount of lifting time. Instead, most picked up the bucket that was closer to them, a decision that forced them to carry it longer than necessary. In other words, they gave themselves extra work for no apparent benefit.
"We couldn't figure out what on earth was going on," said the lead researcher,
David Rosenbaum
, a professor of psychology at Penn State. "We thought maybe we made a mistake with the instructions..."
Through the experiments, the researchers homed in on a hypothesis: People appear wired to incur a significant physical cost to eliminate a mental burden.

Eat Philadelphia's best "secret menu items"
Thursday, July 24, 2014
Zagat has put together a list of Philadelphia's best off-menu items. We're especially drooling over the pork pastrami sandwich at Fitler Dining Room:
Chef Rob Marzinsky has been doing intense sandwich research for the just-introduced daily 5-7 p.m. happy hour at this Fitler Square American bistro, and this dish is one of the happy consequences. After a four-day brine, pork shoulder is rubbed with pastrami spice, dried and cold-smoked for eight hours. Slices are served on a house-baked semolina roll with bread and butter pickles, spicy cabbage slaw, Gulden's mustard and melted Birchrun Hills Fat Cat cheese.?

Tesla gets the green light for five stores in PA
Thursday, July 17, 2014
Tesla, the high-end manufacturer of electric cars, has gotten the go-ahead to open give stores in the Commonwealth.
If you Keystone Staters are looking for a more elegant, environmentally friendly way to transport cheesesteaks and Wawa hoagies, your time has nearly come. Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett signed a bill yesterday allowing Tesla to open up five "dealerships," which means you'll soon be able to buy yourself a Model S without jumping through all those traditional (and awful) hoops. Once you've visited a location to see Elon Musk's work in action, you order one online and wait. Simple as that. As the
Associated Press
points out, the law opens the door for any other electric car company to do the same, assuming it doesn't try to sell (or have a vested interest in selling) cars from other manufacturers. ?

Update: Pennsylvania actually sends draft notices to 14,000 men over the age of 118
Washington Times
Thursday, July 17, 2014
The quirky case of draft notices sent to late Pennsylvanians continues -- turns out the state sent out over 14,000 of them.
The notices from the Selective Service System were mailed to at least 14,250 men born more than a century ago — all believed to be dead — warning them that failure to register is "punishable by a fine and imprisonment." The Associated Press reported.
"I said, 'Geez, what the hell is this about?'" said
Chuck Huey
, 73, about the notice he received that was addressed to his late grandfather, Bert Huey, who was born in 1894, served in World War I, then died in 1995 at the age of 100, AP reported. "It said he was subject to heavy fines and imprisonment if he didn't sign up for the draft board. We were just totally dumbfounded."
...Turns out, the genesis for the glitch was the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, which was transferring about 400,000 records to Selective Service. A clerk didn't select the century for the records of those who were born between 1993 and 1997, so the system scooped up those who had been born between 1893 and 1897, too.

Such good help when needed.
We have a 13 yr. old cat named Chaka Khan, and one morning I petted her on the top of the head and blood and pus came pouring out. (like a bad horror movie)..Since we just recently moved here from back east, we had no vet in the area. Being handicapped and disabled, I was frantic as to where to get help for her, that I could afford. I called YVAH and talked to them there, and they said bring her in, we'll do paper work here to help you get payment help. True to their word, I was approved for credit (6 months to pay and no interest) before they finished the examination. They gave me an estimated bill...and took our cat in for surgery, kept her overnight, did blood work, antibiotics, and whatever she needed for the surgery. When we picked her up the next morning (a new haircut and stitches on the head) they sent us home with meds for her to take. Now, not only were they helpful, caring, friendly and professional but the actual bill was over a $100 less than what they estimated. Everyone there will try their best to help you in anyway they can. They even called the following Monday to see how she was doing. It's a wonderful vet hospital, and Dr. Miller and staff are the absolute best! Thanks again all!

I've Googled it myself, no such solutions for the issue regarding these two updates. That is, other than uninstalling them.Since I've uninstalled them, my system is far more stable and responsive.
...(Edit) Ok, now I'm really confused. I looked further back on my XP machine, and I installed KB2731847 way back in August, rather than recently. I'll have to see when it was installed on my Win 7 machine next time I fire it up. Either way, I haven't noticed the problem some of you are exoeriencing.
For what it's worth (perhaps nothing), I just did a complete clean install and full update of Win 7 x64 yesterday, with all updates to date, and I see no issues whatsoever... This is on a 3 year old Asus laptop, Intel etc.
When I read them it said "important" not critical and a attacker must have local access to the computer to do the attack, not remote access.KB2731847 & KB2724197........if an attacker logs on to the system and runs a specially crafted application. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability.This security update is rated Important for all supported releases of Microsoft Windows.
I installed the KB2724197 update on three of my systems and it appears, at least with the limited testing that I've done, that the KB2724197 update isn't the one to blame. By process of elimination, it appears it may be that KB2731847 is the one to blame.Can someone do some testing for me? I'm in contact with a Microsoft representative that's escalating this issue. More information is going to be helpful in narrowing down what exact update is causing this issue.
btw it sounds like the update is a security related one»support.microsoft.com/kb/2731847 ··· ignin1.0so hopefully its fixed at some point.
quote:The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logs on to the system and runs a specially crafted application. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability. ...
I've installed KB2724197 on two of my computers and left off KB2731847 since I've talked to that Microsoft technician. So far, after the two machines have been online overnight, there seems to be no issues but more testing needs to be done.

I guess it depends on how you define story- vs. combat-centric. I've played some good story missions that were largely combat, but it was the story wrapper that gave the combat solid context. While it would be perfectly possible to flag such missions as story-centric, there might be those who would disagree because of too much combat. That could be alleviated to a certain extent by including comments about the level of combat in the description text.
But overall, I agree with your assessment. Sorting through the grinders to find story missions is a pain right now.

Sriharikota: Using indigenously developed cryogenic rocket technology, India would launch the GSLV-D3 mission on April 15 from the spaceport here that would catapult it to the elite club of five nations and mark its response to challenges posed by technology denial regime.
"Certainly this is a milestone for Indian space programme in many ways. This proves our capabilities and reflects our scientists' determination to take up any challenge," Director
of Satish Dhawan Space Centre M C Dathan told reporters here.
The Indian Space Research Organisation`s launch vehicle GSLV-D3 would blast off from the centre at 4.27 pm on Thursday and put in geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) India`s 2,220 kg communication satellite GSAT-4 with a seven-year mission life.
This is the first time India would be using indigenously built cryogenic stage and technology, which is crucial to put communication satellites weighing more than two tonnes in GTO.
The indigenous technology has come to fruition nearly 19 years after India was denied the cryogenic technology.
In 1992, India had made some efforts to acquire cryogenic propellant technology from Russia, but it did not materialize due to strong US opposition and "technology denial regime of big powers", Dathan said.
"Often in the past, we have purchased completed cryogenic engine from Russia and five of them had been used for our GSLV missions. But we felt that it was important to develop indigenous capability as cryogenic technology is crucial to take our space programme to new heights," he said.
The technology has been developed by a dedicated team of scientists of ISRO`s Liquid Propulsions System Centre (LPSC) at Mahendragiri in Tamil Nadu.
India, which had used Russian cryogenic stages for the last five GSLV flights, would join the US, Russia, Europe, Japan and China in possessing the complex cryogenic technology.
The development of cryogenic engines involves mastering several complex disciplines such as materials technology, operating rotary pumps and turbines that run at 42,000 rpm at cryogenic temperatures.
The development of the technology in the country has given the coveted status of total self-reliance in launch vehicle technology.
It would help ISRO to use it in future GSLV missions for
carrying heavier payloads, given the growing demand for
communication satellites in India and abroad, Dathan said.
"The greatest advantage of cryogenic propellant is that
it could give greater energy, thrust and velocity to the
launch vehicle than other types of solid or liquid
"The technology has already come through a lot of ground
tests and faults found during the process have been corrected.
It has also been evaluated by national level experts. What is
going to happen on April 15 is its flight worthiness test," he
In December 2008, a milestone was crossed with the flight
acceptance hot test of the cryogenic engine. This was an
important step in the country`s march towards rank of top
space faring nations.
"This flight is going to be very critical since we are
going to demonstrate a major technology. So we have had no
stone unturned to ensure it as a success," he said.

Industrial Radiology: Theory and Practice
Springer Science & Business Media, Sep 30, 1995 - Science - 303 pages
Industrial radiography is a well-established non-destructive testing (NDT) method in which the basic principles were established many years ago. However, during 1993-95 the European Standards Organisa tion (CEN) commenced drafting many new standards on NDT including radiographic methods, and when completed these will replace national standards in all the EC member countries. In some cases these standards vary significantly from those in use in the UK at present. These CEN standards are accepted by majority, not unanimous voting, so they will become mandatory even in countries which vote against them. As most are likely to be legal by the time this second edition is published, they are described in the appropriate places in the text. The most important new technical development is the greater use of computers in radiology. In the first edition, computerized tomography was only briefly mentioned at the end of Chapter 11, as it was then largely a medical method with only a few equipments having found a place in industrial use. The method depends on a complex computer program and a large data store. Industrial equipments are now being built, although their spread into industry has been slow. Computer data storage is also being used for radiographic data. Small computers can now store all the data produced by scanning a radiographic film with a small light-spot, and various programs can be applied to these data.
