Rock Band 3 Review
It's been two years since the last true Rock Band game, and Harmonix used that time to offer something awesome for those willing to lay down some extra coin. While the core game hasn't changed really at all since Rock Band 1, the new additions of a keyboard and 100-plus button Pro Guitar offer gameplay unlike anything before.
For some, this will be just the same ol' Rock Band. For others, this is the beginning of a whole new way to experience music. It really depends how much you want to put into Rock Band 3. Not just financially (and that is an investment in itself) but also time and effort. Do you want to learn a totally new way to play or would you rather just do the same thing you've done for years? That choice really affects Rock Band 3's overall value. It's either something completely new and challenging or just more tracks to rock out to. Ultimately, the choice is yours to make.
You know how this works. You and your buddies are part of a band. Someone sings. Someone plays guitar. You've got a drummer. Everyone hits the right notes at the right time, you score points, you become rock Gods. No big.
Except now there are some new instruments that flip Rock Band on its head.
First up is the keyboard. This thing is solid and has received the seal of approval from IGN's own resident piano teacher. The only catch is that the keyboard's half-sized. Other than that, you really couldn't ask for a better piece of hardware to change the way you play Rock Band.
There is a really gimped-out version of "easy" keyboard for people. You play with just five keys that are all next to each other, which really amounts to playing guitar without strumming. It's really boring and really not worth the money you spend to get the keyboard. If that's all you want to do, save your money and just keep strumming the guitar.
If you're going to pay this much for a fake guitar… why not spend a little more and buy the real thing?
The value is in playing Pro keys. It ain't easy, but you can straight up play songs note-for-note and even learn a thing or two about playing piano. It's hard at first, but if you dedicate some time, keyboard becomes this really amazing way to experience Rock Band 3. I got this special little feeling the first time my fingers easily found keys for unexpected notes. It was like my hand was learning.
Adding keyboard allowed Harmonix to include songs you'd never think to see in a Rock Band game. Like Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" or Elton John's — well, anything by Elton John, really. Some songs are just so much fun to play and keyboard completely rewrites the idea of challenge in a Rock Band game.
The one catch is that none of your previous downloaded songs have keyboard support and only 63 of the 83 songs on the disc use keyboards — and a few of them have some pretty sparse keys. Not exactly the strongest song list for someone who wants to be the next Liberace.
Another option is the pricey Pro Mustang Guitar from Mad Catz. This guitar has more than 100 buttons, which correspond to the strings and frets on a real guitar. You can learn to play guitar using this and Rock Band 3, if you can manage to understand the somewhat insane tablature Harmonix has created.
The numbers and bars on screen tell you how to play every chord. It's a real challenge to read and requires a ton of practicing on each song in order to master them. But you'll be playing much faster than you would if you were just learning guitar on your own or even in a class.
But, ultimately, the Pro Guitar is kind of dumb. If you're going to pay this much for a fake guitar with buttons that make it hard to slide your fingers on, why not spend a little more and buy the real thing? You're just upgrading from one guitar with plastic buttons to another guitar with way more plastic buttons.
A full-stringed guitar is in the works but won't be available at launch. Though Pro Guitar totally changes how you play Rock Band 3, and is brilliant in its implementation, buying it isn't going to get you groupies (why else would you learn guitar?). Get the real deal at this point. Stop living your rock fantasies through cheap plastic toys.
Also available are some additional cymbals for your drums so you can play the true drum parts for songs. It's cool if you're a drummer, but doesn't revolutionize gameplay in the same way as Pro Guitar or Pro Keyboards.
Outside of the new instruments, the biggest change for Rock Band 3 is the career mode.
Remember in the past when you were just moving along a big map, playing required setlists? Forget that completely. Rock Band 3 is all about challenges. And there are dozens of them. There are general challenges as well as ones specific to each instrument. If you have other Rock Band tracks on your hard drive, the game creates challenges from them as well. One of my favorites is the Dave Grohl Band challenge — beat five songs by any band that has had Dave Grohl as a member.
Completing challenges either as a full band or solo earns you experience points that level you up, unlocking new outfits and new venues. The progression is a lot like in past Rock Band games, where you first get a van, then a tour bus and eventually a private jet to tour the world. But you're never locked into some arbitrary world map with specific setlists to complete.
Challenges can be completed in any of the modes, so your band's career is built into the entire game — even the training. There are some band road tours you can go on where you have your choice of three different setlist options at each stop. That might mean choosing between a custom '90s setlist, a random classic rock list or a custom glam rock list, but you at least have options. The twist here is that each leg of a tour includes special challenges, like staying in Overdrive as long as possible. Performing well in songs and tackling these bonus challenges earns you extra points, which in turn completes larger challenges that boost your experience points and unlock more cool stuff.
Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Review
New Rock Band 3 Gear
Rock Band 3 Premium DrumsOh, and about that cool stuff. Rock Band 3 comes packed with tons of new clothes and accessories to customize your band, new venues to shred in, and lots of cool on-stage theatrics to make you feel like you're a rockstar. Very little has changed in the visual style — in fact, there's a lot of old clothes and hairdos we've been using since the first Rock Band — but it still looks good.
On stage, your band seizes the right moments — going nuts in guitar solos, hamming it up together. Even your keyboardist gets into it like he's saving the world with every note.
For the first time, the series is more satisfying playing solo than in a room packed with friends.
The one thing that's missing is something that, at least for me, made Rock Band special. In past Rock Band games the crowd would start singing with you as you did better and better in a song. That's gone. Why? No idea. Losing that impromptu chorus kills a lot of the rock concert atmosphere the series has pulled off so well in the past.
Of course, what really matters are the songs you're playing on stage. Rock Band 3 supports all of your non-Beatles downloaded content, the AC/DC and Green Day game tracks, and lets you import most of your tracks from the first two games. If you've been a Rock Band fan for years, you're going to have a few hundred songs to choose from.
The new stuff, 83 tracks in all, is an eclectic collection that's a little more pop than metal. There are some real surprises. Amy Winehouse, Huey Lewis and the News, The Flaming Lips — it's a broad range of songs, capped off by Dio's amazing "Rainbow in the Dark." Sure, a few songs here and there are pretty much trash, but the bulk of the songs are awesome to play. This is easily my favorite setlist from the three main Rock Band games.
Closing Co
Rock Band 3 is a tough one to judge. If you don't have any downloadable content, then the experience isn't nearly as robust or interesting. And if you don't buy the new keyboard or Pro Guitar, well, then it's just more Rock Band. Not that there's anything wrong with more of the same — Rock Band's still a great time. The value in Rock Band 3 is going to vary from person to person far more than with most games.
What the Pro mode adds is a reason to play Rock Band alone (if you make the investment). For the first time, the series is more satisfying alone than in a room packed with friends, although that's not to say rocking out with your buddies isn't cool. But, seriously, you can spend 20 hours playing Pro Keys and never need anyone else in your band.
Rock Band 3 is the best music game option around. The more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it. But my bet is that most people will just buy the game and nothing more. And while that experience is still solid, it's not all that different from Rock Band 2.

Suspicious activity results in heroin arrest in Manchester
Police said detectives saw two men walking behind addresses in the area of Second and West Hancock streets who then crouched down behind a fence.
When the detectives approached the men, they reported seeing two syringes by the feet of one of the men and a bottle cap filled with a brown liquid, presumed to be liquid heroin.
Police arrested Frank Forgione, 26, of 494 Wilson St., and charged him with possession of a narcotic. The other man was released at the scene.
Although Forgione is wanted in Massachusetts on charges of damage to property, Manchester Police did not bring forward the fugitive charge and Forgione was arraigned only on the felony drug charge Wednesday morning in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division.
A police prosecutor, who said Forgione has convictions in Massachusetts for shoplifting and larceny in Massachutts, sought $5,000 cash/surety bail on the felony drug charge. Because no plea can be entered to a felony in Circuit Court, a probable cause hearing was set for July 15.

About Madrid
The capital of Spain, Madrid is what you would expect from a European capital, vibrant, lively and with first class services and infrastructure. Artistic and cultural wealth abound, in this city soaked in history and tradition. With its huge array of entertainment and leisure activities available, you'll also get the chance to marvel at is gastronomic offerings, which of late, have taken on fusing the modern with the traditional, a truly authentic marvel.
Some of Madrid's incredible cultural offerings can be discovered, starting at the world famous Paseo del Prado, the "Prado" museum is one of the best in the world where you can see some of the finest Spanish and Italian pieces the art world has to offer. Also within what is called the "Art Triangle" you'll find the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum, take on its 1000+ pieces and a stroll through the history of European art. And if its more contemporary art you're looking for take a trip to the Reina Sofia Art Centre one of the most modern galleries in the world.
To get to know the real essence of this city you need to visit the "old town". Starting in the very heart of the city, which is "Puerta Del Sol", you must also see Plaza Mayor, Plaza Santa Ana, Gran Via and Callao.

Risky Behavior
There were a lot of nervous people around the maintenance garage at SunLine Transit Agency back in May of 1994. That's when the Agency, serving a population of over 350,000 people in 11 Southern California cities, sidelined its entire fleet of diesel transit buses and—overnight, literally—started running entirely on compressed natural gas (CNG) buses.
"One day they all just came rolling up into the yard, and we were all in awe," recalls Ed Gallardo, maintenance manager for SunLine. "It was 34 brand new Orion buses, and the only introduction we had to CNG at that time was sitting in a classroom and learning about natural gas. So to actually see and be able to operate one of those vehicles was a little bit intimidating."
"The conversion to CNG was extremely aggressive," admits general manager Mike Oglesby, "and there was a little bit of luck involved. I have converted fleets during my time in transit and you always want to have a backup plan, so to put two feet in the water was aggressive."
What began 11 years ago with an abrupt decision by the Agency's forward-thinking Board of Directors to convert the entire fleet to alternative fuels has ended up transforming SunLine into one of the best-known test fleets in the country. Every day that this fleet is in service, it is running one test bus or another in revenue service up and down the hot, dusty roads and highways of Coachella Valley. The result is a maintenance department that can handle virtually any new technology that management can put on the road.
"Looking back, I wouldn't do it any other way," director of maintenance Tommy Edwards recalls of the CNG switchover 11 years ago. "In fact, when we switched to CNG, I argued that we should phase it in, but the upper management decided to do it overnight. Now that we've done it, I think that's a great way to do that kind of new technology."
Indeed, the window to Edwards' office overlooking the maintenance garage in Thousand Palms reads 'Today's technicians for tomorrow's world,' a slogan that sums up Edwards' approach to new technology. "I like to think that there's not much these guys can't get a hold of and start working on," he says.
Today, SunLine is testing a $3.1 million hydrogen fuel cell hybrid bus, but this new project is one in a long line of tests that began with those early CNG engines. According to Edwards, his predecessor at SunLine was approached by Cummins Diesel to test their first CNG engines, conversions of the existing L-10.
"They came to SunLine and said, 'Hey, let's put a couple of these engines in your buses,' and my predecessor thought, 'Well, if I get two new free engines, that gives me two spare engines,'" Edwards recalls. "That's how he got it started, and it's just snowballed from there."
As associate engineer Apollonia "Polo" del Toro recalls, those first L-10 CNG conversions actually played to the strengths of the maintenance crew.
"What changed was they re-engineered the head to take spark plugs, they hardened some of the exhaust and intake valves, they changed the seat and the piston configuration," he recalls. "So the crossover from diesel to CNG wasn't as dramatic for some of the people who had already seen the L-10.
"The gas guys and the diesel guys learned from each other," he continues. "The diesel guys were used to compression ignition, but on CNG you have to have a spark plug, so we were able to learn from the people who worked on automotive, because they're used to stoichiometric stuff, they're used to running lambda, but they're not used to the big engine. The diesel guys were used to the big engines, so together we learned from each other."
"There were a lot of people saying 'They're never going to make it. It's impossible,'" says del Toro. "We couldn't fail; our old buses were auctioned off fairly quickly, so there was no emergency fleet we could put out there. It was swim or sink, and we all like to breathe, so we did what we had to, to learn what we needed to, to keep the buses on the road."
"We have to put buses on the street every morning, just like every other transit system in the country," says Edwards. "If I don't 'make line,' I won't be sitting here. And we've been able to make line ever since we took on all this technology."
"What was really interesting," says del Toro, "was that some of the problems we had early on—say, you get a relay that might fail; the rear doors were out of adjustment; the brakes would lock up on the road—we recognized that if you had one bus doing it, you check the other buses, and sure enough you've got 19 other buses doing the same thing. So once we got through that phase our road calls went down to a minimum, and we had several smooth-sailing years."
Because of their success with CNG buses in the desert climate, SunLine quickly became the go-to fleet for CNG testing. They took part in one three-year CNG test with the US Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Lab, and have recently concluded a second, 10-year test with the same agencies. And as word got out of SunLine's testing, more engine tests came their way.
According to del Toro, SunLine has been recruited by Cummins, Detroit Diesel and John Deere to test new CNG engines. "After that three-year study, everybody says, 'Hey, you're interested in this sort of stuff; how would you like to test this engine? You'll have the engine for free, and all we want is that after a million miles we get the engine back and we give you a brand new one.' We said, 'Okay!'
"So suddenly a lot of people wanted to test with us," he says. "One reason is our size: we have less than 100 buses, so we're able to focus attention to the buses when needed, they don't get lost in a 2,000 bus fleet. We're able to document and report back to the manufacturer."
AHEAD OF THE OEMs
Of course, Edwards knew that training his technicians on the new fuel was key. As new engines were brought into the fleet, he worked with the bus companies and the engine companies to develop CNG training classes. Eventually, SunLine partnered with the College of the Desert in nearby Palm Desert to develop the first CNG maintenance curriculum in the country.
Training went so well that in some instances, the SunLine maintenance staff was able to teach the OEMs a trick or two. del Toro recounts a time when Cummins asked SunLine to repower two diesel engines to CNG, but told them to wait until they had completed the repowering process on their own, so they could offer SunLine the proper parts and guidance. "We pulled the engine out, and we said 'We can't just sit here,' he recalls. "They said, 'If you think you can make progress, go ahead.
We're still working on ours.' We finished installing two engines in a four-month period—this is a brand new repower, hadn't been done before—and they were still working on theirs four months afterwards. So then they started asking us 'How'd you do this? How'd you do that?'"
Edwards also recalls a more recent time when his technicians were puzzling over a problem with a Ford V-10 hydrogen internal combustion engine (HICE).
"There were several little issues: control problems; fuel issues," he says. "The ISE Corporation put a lot of effort into helping us—they're a great partner in helping to figure out all this stuff, and we had some support from Ford—but the engine itself, it's one of a kind, and my guys took ownership of it. So our guys started figuring out the issues long before the OEMs did; and it was hard to convince them that this was what we should do, this was the problem. Now, we've developed such a good relationship that when our guys tell them what's going on, they pretty much buy it.
"The philosophy I've taken in running this maintenance department, especially with all the weird things we've gotten into over the past 11 years, is that if we were to just sit here and point our fingers back at the OEMs and say 'It's your problem, you fix it,' it'll take a lot longer to resolve a problem," Edwards maintains. "We should be part of the solution, so we take ownership of these special projects, and that's what happened with the HICE bus."
Surprisingly, the SunLine Board was seriously considering a switch to hydrogen power back in '94, before the conversion to CNG. Although the technology wasn't road ready at the time, the Agency has since wasted no time getting hydrogen buses to test.
In 1990, SunLine saw an opportunity to bring together a solar power test, a hydrogen generation test and a hydrogen bus test together into one grand project. That was the year that the Agency built a solar-powered hydrogen formulation plant to produce hydrogen fuel for its first hydrogen test bus, powered by a Ballard fuel cell.
Today, SunLine produces enough hydrogen to power its two hydrogen-fueled buses (one powered by a UTC Power fuel cell, and another powered by the Ford V-10 hydrogen internal combustion engine), as well as two hydrogen/compressed natural gas (HCNG) buses.
General manager Oglesby is rightly pleased with his fleet of hydrogen buses, pointing out that the two pure hydrogen-powered buses are zero-emission vehicles, and the HCNG buses are meeting 2007 EPA NOx emissions standards today. And each of these 40-foot buses is in revenue service every day. And, naturally, each of them is part of an ongoing test.
Any one of these buses would be a standout in any fleet, but SunLine's new fuel cell bus steals the show. The A330 bus was manufactured in Antwerp, Belgium by VanHool, but the fuel cell was designed by United Technologies Corporation Fuel Cells of South Windsor, CT. The fuel cell was installed by ISE Corporation in Poway, CA, and the bus was delivered to SunLine in November, 2005.
"I take pride in the fact that we have the technology but we don't put it up on a pedestal," Oglesby says. "The first step is here now."
As intimidated as Edwards and his maintenance crew were by their first CNG engines 11 years ago, they are surprisingly accepting of the current crop of hydrogen powerplants.
"Obviously, our technicians are used to gaseous fuels, and hydrogen is a gaseous fuel," Edwards says. "It has some differences, obviously, so it's still a good challenge for them; it keeps them sharp. They love working on new stuff; it gives them a cutting edge.
"Hydrogen technology is still in the beta form," he continues. "It's ready for us to test it, break it, make it work, make it not work, get the bugs out of it."
"The technicians are excited, because they're learning a craft, and with the hydrogen hybrid internal combustion engine vehicle, what's needed to maintain the vehicle is easily taught, and our maintenance people have just taken to it like fish to water," says Oglesby. "These guys are specialists in oddities. So now, just give them another one; they're up for the task."
If you go by the SunLine experience, once a fleet starts testing new equipment, it's very difficult to break the habit. SunLine has developed such a reputation for testing that many major component suppliers come to them for help developing and testing new technology.
In recent years, SunLine has tested electric fan motors for a major supplier, Federal-Mogul has worked with the Agency to test a new severe heat wheel end seal, and Delco Remy is currently testing new alternators on SunLine buses. Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Ford and Peterbilt have all tested new vehicle technologies with SunLine, and the phone keeps ringing.
On reflection, it's not hard to understand why Edwards and Oglesby have become habitual technology testers. It's a win-win proposition for their fleet and their riders. "We've been able to take some of those technologies that we've tested and see them to fruition, by putting them on our buses," Edwards says. "To me, that's part of why we do this, is to see if these technologies work, and if they do, how do you get them on the new trucks? How do you get them on the new buses?
"Sometimes we can get grant money to do something, and then at the end of that grant period we end up with a piece of equipment that we own that didn't cost us much, aside from some sweat and blood," he continues. "The other thing we get is that our technicians stay on top of the technologies. And it gives the agency a chance to get publicity; in turn, if our elected officials in Washington notice this little 50-bus transit agency getting that much recognition, when money comes down the pike sometimes we are able to get a lot of transit-related things, to get money to put buses on the streets. So it's a little unusual for a small transit fleet like this to do as much branding as we have, but everybody knows SunLine, whether they like us or don't like us."
"Stay tuned for the next big thing," Oglesby says with a smile. "I don't know what it is yet, but I can guarantee you that SunLine will be involved with it."

Blanket to Backpack
Don't you just love rag quilts?!
They are pretty easy to put together, and I love the finished look.
However... this one is not your ordinary rag quilt!
It is actually also a backpack!
Yep! You've got it! A rag quilt that folds into a backpack.
I was realizing that my poor son has been left out of many recent projects. Girls are so much easier to make things for, I think. So I needed one for poor little Wesley.
Our family will be moving to China in a few months. I was inspired by the idea of a quillow (quilt that folds into a pillow), thinking that would be perfect for each of the kids on our long flight overseas.
However, the thought came to mind... what if they could also wear it through the airport!
What if it had a pocket to hold their color books, crayons, Nintendo DS, and a snack?
And thus... the Blanket to Backpack was created.
This is how it works...
Lay out your blanket.
Fold into thirds, by folding each side over the middle third section.
Here is the first side being folded in....
And here the second side has been folded over top of the first.
See how your pocket is on the under-side of one end?
Turn that end right-side out, folding the pocket so it is pulled to the other side of the quilt.
The pocket is now right-side out... and will look like this.
Now fold the remaining blanket into thirds once again. Here's the first fold...
And the next.
Now... tuck the blanket folds down into the pocket.
And there you have it!
Your backpack!
Ready to make your own?
Tutorial to come (in two parts... I have LOADS of pictures to walk you through it).
Stay tuned!

Fantastic project! Can't wait for the tutorials!
I would love if you came over and linked this project to my weekly Round Tuit party at:
Have a great week!
Jill @ Creating my way to SuccessI LOVE this! I made myself a quillow when I was a teenager to take on trips, and I always wished it had some sort of handle. I can't wait for your tutorial!
Thanks for linking @Creative Itch's "Sew Cute Tuesday". I'll be featuring you next week, so be sure to check back and grab a 'featured' button!

Smaller IT budget doesn't stop FDIC from modernizing
Thursday - 4/4/2013, 10:37pm EDT
Ask the CIO - April 4, 2013
Listen to the full show.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's technology budget for fiscal 2013 is more than $30 million less than 2012.
And Russ Pittman, the FDIC's chief information officer and director of the Division of IT, is happy about it--in fact he requested the decrease.
The FDIC's IT budget in 2012 was $382 million. In 2013, it's about $350 million.
FDIC's the lower IT budget comes at a time when every CIO is expecting a flat or lower budget in the coming years.
The Office of Management and Budget has been pushing agencies to move money out of the operational column and into the capital expenditure column to improve services and reduce costs in the long term.
And that's exactly what Pittman did and will continue to do over the next few years.
"In 2012, we were able to complete several automation and virtualization initiatives and I had asked for an 8 percent decrease in our overall IT budget in 2013 and it was granted," Pittman said. "We do expect the investment budget will increase in the coming years as we are modernizing several applications that are 10-to-12-to-15 years old. Our goal is to get the operating budget down."
FDIC recently released an updated business technology strategic plan that focuses more on the business side of the agency and where technology improvements are needed to improve those mission areas.
"We sat down with each of our business groups and talked about capabilities, what kind of capabilities would they need in the future. We did a capabilities map of needs across the organization and then we had our business users give us feedback on which capabilities were strategic and which were not, and then also feedback on which we did well and which we did not," he said. "Then using those capability maps and strategies we came up with the people, the process and the technology that were needed to improve over time."
In addition to the strategic plan, which hadn't been revised in about five years, Pittman said the FDIC also released a operating plan that will indicate what the technology milestones are and how they will achieve the business strategic goals.
"You won't find anything in this [strategic] plan about servers, networking or telecommunications," he said. "It's all about what's our goal for achieving certain business capabilities over the next five years."
Moving away from custom built apps
Pittman said a major area of focus will continue to be around the older applications first.
Starting in 2008, FDIC started updating its custom-built mission-related apps and about 29 percent are done.
"We are working on the rest of it between now and 2018. We will get all of those started and within seven years finish them all," he said. "It's a long chore, but it's a good thing to do to make sure the applications are built so the business side can use them and they fulfill their needs."
Pittman added the biggest challenge is many of the older apps are written in computer languages that aren't supported anymore. Additionally, the systems are monolithic by nature and don't use business services.
FDIC has moved to agile development and is using Rational Unified Process (RUP) shop.
RUP is an iterative software development process created by IBM in 2003 that can adapt to changing needs and be tailored to new requirements.
Pittman said using the agile and RUP approaches lets FDIC address the highest risk areas first and deliver new capabilities more often.
As for the back office systems, Pittman said many already moved into the commercial world, but the support and services of those applications are opportunities for savings.
The FDIC reopened its Infrastructure Support Contract (ISC2) after a bid protest stalled it.
Pittman said FDIC released the updated solicitation through General Services Administration's Alliant governmentwide acquisition contract.
ISC2 asks a vendor to support FDIC's infrastructure facilities, hardware, software and systems on a daily basis.
The current contract has a ceiling of $457 million. SRA is the incumbent.
Pittman said the FDIC, through GSA, is scheduled to re-award ISC2 this summer.

Women's Freewheel
http://www.teva.com/sale/freewheel/1001983.htmlThere's something special about riding bikes. Goodbye traffic, goodbye boredom, goodbye stress. It's just great. It's not so great, though, when you have to change your shoes as soon as you get to where you're going. With the Freewheel, you get a cute sneaker that just so happens to be excellent for biking, so no need to bring the extra shoes next time.

Additional Information
Spider 365™
One rubber, huge range of uses. Spider365 Rubber is the spork of our rubber arsenal.
Mush® Infused Insole
Now we're not necessarily splicing Mush® genes back in the T.I.D.E Lab to build a hybrid mutant insole, but we do have an insole that's worthy of the Mush name.
Slipping off your pedal can be painful … and really, really awkward. To prevent that, we worked with our team of professional freeride bikers to develop the PedalLINK outsole. It was designed to link up with the pegs of your pedal to keep your foot in place and in control. On top of that, it's got lugs at the toe and heel to help you get around when you're off your bike.
- Our Spider365 Rubber sole will hold its grip in all kinds of environments
- Our PedalLINK outsole was designed specifically to interface with the unique platform of a bike pedal
- Aggressive tread designs at the toe and heel will grip the dirt when you're hoofin' it
- A Mush® Infused Insole brings the absurd comfort of our flip flops into a shoe
- A rubber bumper will protect your toes
- A minimal upper design gives you all you need and nothing more
- Women's specific shape and fit

- Casual Wear
I've had a very difficult time finding casual sneakers that comfortably fit my large (size 12 feet) and weren't ugly. These fit the bill! And they come in gray, which is a color I was hoping to get. As I would expect of Teva, the materials appear sturdy. I wear them all day teaching and running errands.
I probably wouldn't wear them for a full day of walking places. The insole doesn't offer too much cushioning, but it is removable so that could probably be remedied.
The one other thing that bothered me was that the shoe would dig into the back of my Achilles' tendon as I walked, but only on one foot. I'm endeavouring to break that part of the shoe in some more because the shoes are otherwise perfect for me!

I am worried about the sizing. In other brands I wear a 10.5, and sometimes an 11. When I look at the size chart, it looks as though I should wear a size 10 (based on measuring my foot (in a sock) on a ruler). Should I order the 10, or should I order the 11?Asked on 5/20/2013 by SR from Amherst, MA1 answer

That's a moot point. You cannot count that, and any stats from Redhat which supports just Gnome will not prove anything.
Any online pools show that both KDE and Gnome have big usershare. Furthermore both Qt and GTK+ are part of LSB.
I'm sorry but with the current mind set, KDE people will need to hack on Xserver or write their own Xserver soon, because it may become to tied to Gnome. I'm exaggerating sure, but it shows the current situation. Yet again you see KDE users complaining in gnome topic, you do not see the other way around so that has to mean something, or do you really think that all the trolls live just on the K front ? It just means KDE users have some good reasons to complain that's all.

Mopar Rearend Replacement - Project B3 Gets Rear Ended
Written by on July 1, 2007 Building And Installing A Bulletproof Strange 60 Rearend In Our Bracket RacerWhether your Mopar is a street car or a dedicated race car, chances are it's overpowered. Tire shredding, axle snapping, u-joint exploding torque is something even stock Mopar engines are known for. While too much power is not necessarily a bad problem to have, the driveline behind the engine must be built to withstand the power, or reliability will suffer. Since reliability is one of the keys to our bracket racer project, we had to decide what rearend would best suit our needs. While an 831/44 differential would probably suffice if built properly, it still wouldn't be as tough, or last as long as a 60-style rearend.
Since we showed you how to narrow and assemble your own Dana previously, in this issue we'll give you another option. Strange Engineering is fabricating an all-new 931/44 rearend housing called the Strange 60, and when stuffed with their tough internals, the Strange 60 is virtually indestructible.
If you've been following project B3, you know that our engine is a 451ci, low-deck big-block that makes well over 600 hp. While a properly built 831/44 rearend would handle this kind of power for a while, we're looking for years of reliability from this bracket racer, so we decided to spend a few more dollars and upgrade to one of Strange Engineering's Strange 60 differentials. The Strange 60 is based on the same Dana 60 rearend that Chrysler installed in their most brutal Hemi and 440 Six-Barrel-equipped street cars, and features the same, massive, 931/44-inch ring gear. The Strange 60 can be custom ordered for any application from a stock street car to the wildest race car. our car is a dedicated racer, so we had the guys at Strange set up the rearend to take some serious abuse. If your car is a street car, you can save a few bucks by ordering your rearend with more economical components.
There are several reasons a drag car needs heavy-duty components in the rearend. First, race engines simply make more power and torque than the average street engine. Second, race stall converters are usually far looser than street converters; our Dynamic 8-inch converter will flash in the neighborhood of 5,000 rpm, again applying more torque to the rearend. The third, and most important factor, is the soft compound slicks that adorn the rear wheels of most race cars. Slicks, unlike street tires, won't spin when the car is launched, and, therefore, incredible forces are transferred to the car's driveline. Street tires will spin when overpowered, relieving the stress on the rearend, axles, and driveshaft, but slicks grab and hold, exposing any weakness by breaking driveline parts. Since we'd rather be at the track racing than in the shop repairing the rearend, we asked the guys at Strange to use some of their best components when building our Strange 60.
A nice feature of all Strange 60 housings is, unlike factory Dana 60s, the axle tubes are fully welded to the center section of the rearend. This prevents the tubes from twisting in the housing under high loads. Since it is imperative a drag race car's rear wheels turn at the same speed throughout the run, we decided to run a spool in our rearend. A spool, unlike a Sure grip, is simply a solid connection between the ring gear and both axles, forcing the rear wheels to spin at the same speed. We don't recommend a spool for street applications for obvious reasons. Around corners, especially in the rain, the inner wheel will spin at the same rpm as the outer, but since it has less distance to travel, it will slip. This causes traction issues that could lead to loss of vehicle control, so if you're building a rearend for a street car, we recommend a Sure grip differential. Since our Barracuda will be raced for years to come, we chose Strange's lightweight Pro Spool for our application. This is a tough piece, and when matched with a pair of 40-spline race axles it should give us years of reliable service. Our 40-spline axles are solid, and we had them fitted with 51/48-inch wheel studs for extra durability. Since we'll be running this car in the quarter-mile, we opted for 4.30-ratio Pro-gears, which should match our tire size and power combination well, pulling us through the traps at some 7,000 rpm.
our Barracuda will retain its factory suspension component locations, so we had our new rearend built to factory A-Body dimensions. If your car is back-halved, mini-tubbed, or otherwise narrower than stock, Strange can custom build your rearend to fit your application.
To complete our rear suspension, we'll be installing Mopar Performance Super Stock leaf springs, an adjustable pinion snubber, and Strange double adjustable rear shocks. This is not an exotic setup, but a reliable suspension package that should get our project car hooking up well enough for some sub-1.50-second sixty-foot times. But enough about theory, let's install our new rearend.
With the back half of our suspension installed in our project car, we're a little closer to making it to the track. Be sure to follow future issues as we'll continue our project by installing the engine and transmission, front suspension and brakes, wire and plumb the car, lighten it up with fiberglass body parts and polycarbonate windows, then finally finish up the interior. We're still a long way from the track, but each step is getting us closer. The car is just about to achieve "rolling chassis" status and that should help motivate us to quickly complete our bracket racer.
