These are great for Multi fly aplication as they can't twist like tying a tag to the leader. http://gamakatsu.com/new_products/new_dropperbead.htm I use a small split shot below the dropper bead to keep it from sliding down but a knot will also work. Sink putty is cool cause you need very little. For 6 lb line the medium works great. 6lb is probably max for the small, but small will work as well.

Technology Overview
This section contains a brief and high-level technology overview that describes the Message Analyzer functions that are accessible from the user interface (UI) through its main navigation features, so that you can quickly get started with using them. This section shows how to access these functions and features, and provides a high-level description of their purpose. Familiarizing yourself with the UI features will help you navigate through Message Analyzer and perform tasks such as opening a Live Trace Session or a Data Retrieval Session, specifying a data viewer for session results, saving trace data, setting global trace options, quickly retrieving saved message collections, and configuring new Chart-style data viewers with graphic visualizer components.
Accessing Message Analyzer Features and Functions
The Message Analyzer UI contains three primary navigation features that enable you to locate the functionality you need to load, capture, display, and analyze data. These navigation features consist of the File menu, Home tab, and Charts tab. The File menu contains items and submenus that provide you with access to high-level Message Analyzer functions; the Home tab exposes the analysis surface from where you can work with various data viewers, filters, tool windows, and other analysis features such as Viewpoints; and the Charts tab enables you to create, edit, save, and manage predefined and custom Chart data viewers.
The sections that follow describe the features and functions that are available from the File menu, Home tab, and Charts tab.
File Menu
The File menu is the entry point into Message Analyzer functionality, since it is the place where you start navigating the UI and using its features. The File menu has a look and feel that is similar to the File tab that displays in Microsoft Office products. The File menu contains the following items that provide access to various Message Analyzer high-level features and functions:
New Session — from the File menu, you can click the New Session item and then select the Blank Session submenu item to display the New Session dialog, in which you can choose a data source from which to acquire data, as described in Starting a Message Analyzer Session. Thereafter, a configuration tab displays in the New Session dialog that enables you to specify settings for the type of session that you chose. For example, if you click the Live Trace button, you are presented with Live Trace configuration settings for a Live Trace Session; whereas, if you click the Files button, you are presented with Files configuration settings for a Data Retrieval Session.
You can go directly to the Live Trace or Files configuration tabs of the New Session dialog by selecting the Live Trace or Files item, respectively, in the New Session submenu. In addition, you can select the From Current Session item if you want to open the New Session dialog with configuration values populated from an existing session tab that is currently selected.
Also, when you click the File menu, a Recent files list displays that contains a number of recently saved files, any of which you can quickly open with a single click, as described in Quickly Loading Data.
Tip You can also open the New Session dialog by clicking the Create a New Trace Session icon in the upper left corner of the Message Analyzer UI.
Live Trace Configuration
When configuring a Live Trace Session, you can specify the following:
The session Name and description.
The Target Computers from which to collect live message data. Use the default local host, and/or specify additional host names and connection credentials for one or more remote computers on which you want to capture message data, as described in Specifying Remote Host Connection Data.
Note You also have the capability to run multiple concurrent Live Trace Sessions with different message providers on different target computers by adding one or more Live Trace data sources and specifying the hosts from which to capture the data. You can also use a single session with a specified message provider to collect data from multiple specified host machines.
A predefined Trace Scenario that serves as a message provider that captures specific types of messages, and in certain cases, captures messages at predefined stack levels. See Configuring a Live Trace Session for more information.
System ETW Providers (Windows components that have been instrumented as Event Tracing for Windows {ETW} event providers) that you want to include in the trace configuration in order to capture specific types of events.
Driver-level filters such as Fast Filters to focus on specific data; NDIS stack, Hyper-V-Switch extension layer, packet traversal path, EtherType, IP Protocol Number, and other filters, when targeting host adapter and VM traffic, as described in Capturing Data Remotely; in addition to Keyword event and Level filters for ETW providers, to enhance the scope of message retrieval.
Settings in the Advanced Configuration dialog to control certain aspects of the underlying ETW session for the current Trace Session, as described in Specifying Advanced Session Configuration Settings.
A predefined or customized Session Filter that limits the scope of message capture.
A data viewer to contain the results of the Live Trace Session.
A Parsing Level scenario that retrieves specific messages in the stack, for focused analysis perspective and improved performance.
When configuring a Data Retrieval Session, you can specify the following:
The session Name and description.
Saved trace files and logs that contain the data you want to retrieve.
Automatic detection or manual enforcement of the Truncated Parsing mode when loading data from input files that contain truncated messages, such as .cap, .pcap,.pcapng, and .etl traces, as described in Configuring a Data Retrieval Session.
A Text Log Configuration file for parsing textual logs from which you are acquiring data.
A Time Filter that enables you to specify a window of time in which to view message data.
A Session Filter, Parsing Level scenario, and data viewer selection, as indicated earlier.
- The session Name and description.
Quick Open — a File menu item that enables you to display the Open dialog in which you can navigate to saved trace and log files. After you select a file and click Open in the dialog, the data immediately displays in the Message Analyzer default Analysis Grid viewer on the Home tab, as described in Quickly Loading Data.
Quick Trace — a File menu item that enables you to quickly start a Live Trace Session with a single click on a predefined Trace Scenario such as the following:
- Local Network Interfaces — uses the Microsoft-Windows-NDIS-PacketCapture provider to capture data at the Link Layer and above.
- Loopback and Unencrypted IPSEC — uses the Microsoft-Pef-WFP-MessageProvider to capture data at the Transport Layer and above.
- Unencrypted HTTPS — uses the Microsoft-Pef-WebProxy provider to capture HTTP/S messages at the Application Layer, including any higher level application messages.
- Local Network Interfaces — uses the Microsoft-Windows-NDIS-PacketCapture provider to capture data at the Link Layer and above.
Edit Session — a File menu item that enables you to open the Edit Session dialog for the currently selected session. Provides the same result as clicking the Edit button in the Session group on the Ribbon of the Message Analyzer Home tab while a session tab is selected. You can then edit session settings and click Apply to modify the trace results.
Close — a File menu item that enables you to close the currently selected Session viewer tab on the Message Analyzer Home tab.
Note If you have more than one data viewer in display for a particular session when you Close a selected Session viewer tab, the data in the selected tab is removed, but the session is not entirely closed until all data viewers for the session are closed.
Save As — a File menu item that enables you to save data from live traces and loaded message collections by launching the Save As dialog. For example, after you analyze and manipulate data from a Live Trace Session, or from a Data Retrieval Session where you loaded a collection of messages from one or more data sources, you can save the results of your analysis in one of the Message Analyzer native file formats, as described in Saving Message Data.
Note You can also launch the Save As dialog to save your session data by clicking the Save Trace icon in the upper-left corner of the UI. Alternatively, you can specify the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S to display the Save As dialog.
Start Page — a File menu item that contains the following navigation features:
- News tab — displays announcements such as new blog posts, release news, and other information.
- Downloads tab — displays a page that enables you to view, auto-sync updates, and download OPN Parser Packages or user Library items, such as Color Rules, Trace Scenarios, Viewers, Viewpoints, Filters, View Layouts, and Sequence Expressions from the default Message Analyzer subscriber feed. As described in Managing Item Collection Downloads and Updates, the features on this page that enable you to exercise these functions consist of the following:
- All Item Types drop-down — enables you to select the types of items to display in your Message Analyzer feed list.
- Search box — enables you to locate feed list items by entering search text that filters your feed list items.
- Sync All Displayed Items button — causes automatic update synchronization of all the default Message Analyzer feed list items. Thereafter, your Message Analyzer installation is synchronized with item collection and OPN Parser package updates from a Microsoft web service, so that you always have the latest versions. However, for this synchronization to take place, your Message Analyzer installation must be set to Online status, as described in the next bullet item.
Note You have the option to synchronize Message Analyzer feed list items individually or you can elect to download the current configuration of a particular item and stop receiving updates. You can access these features by clicking the status icons to the right of the feed list items that are displayed on the Downloads page.
- Online/Offline button — when this button is set to Online, you automatically receive updates to Message Analyzer subscriber feed list items that are set to auto-sync status. When this button is set to Offline, you do not receive updates.
- All Item Types drop-down — enables you to select the types of items to display in your Message Analyzer feed list.
- Guidance tab — displays a facsimile of the Microsoft Message Analyzer Operating Guide landing page on TechNet, which has an Information Roadmap that is a convenient starting point for navigating the guidance documentation.
- Settings tab — enables you to view a list of feeds to which you are subscribed, create new feeds for sharing item collections directly with other users, and view which item collections and OPN Parser packages are set to the auto-sync state. You can also manage downloads and auto-syncing from this location.
- News tab — displays announcements such as new blog posts, release news, and other information.
Options — a File menu item that displays the Options page, as described in Setting Message Analyzer Global Options. This page contains the following configuration tabs:
- General tab — enables you to specify various default global settings for Message Analyzer, as follows:
- Time Display — provides settings that enable you to specify the time format used by Message Analyzer.
- Live Trace Message Buffer — provides settings that determine the rate at which packets are dropped when exceeding the buffer limit.
- Session Viewer — provides a drop-down list that enables you to select the default data viewer for the display of all live trace and saved session data.
- Text Log Files — provides a drop-down list that enables you to select a predefined default or custom configuration file for parsing text logs.
- Time Display — provides settings that enable you to specify the time format used by Message Analyzer.
- Features tab — provides for selection of preview features that you can enable in Message Analyzer.
- Decryption tab — provides the controls that allow you to manage decryption certificates, which includes importing and selecting server certificates and specifying passwords that are required to enable Message Analyzer to decrypt traffic that is encrypted with the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security protocols.
- General tab — enables you to specify various default global settings for Message Analyzer, as follows:
About — contains versioning, privacy information, and links to guidance and Online Community sites, which include the following:
Exit — enables you to gracefully exit the Message Analyzer application. If you have unsaved trace data when you exit, Message Analyzer prompts you to save it.
Home Tab
The Message Analyzer Home tab is the primary data analysis surface, because it provides the interfaces in which you display, manipulate, and analyze Live Trace Session and Data Retrieval Session results. The Home tab contains a Ribbon at the top of the interface that is arranged in sets of commands that group categorically-related Message Analyzer functions, for example, the Session, Filter, Customize Fields, and Viewpoints groups. By default, the Session Explorer Tool Window also displays when you select the Home tab, and enables you to navigate among different viewers that are currently displaying session data. The Session Explorer window also enables you to select additional data viewers for any currently displayed session tab, by providing a right-click context menu from where you can select the different viewer types. For example, you could choose the Protocol Dashboard viewer, which has data visualizer components that display various graphical top-level summaries of captured message traffic.
The primary data viewer for Live Trace Session and Data Retrieval Session results on the Message Analyzer Home tab is the Analysis Grid Viewer, which displays by default unless you change the default viewer in the Options dialog or you specifically select a different data viewer when starting a New Session. The Analysis Grid viewer provides a tree grid type display of trace data where message traffic is grouped by top-level message and operation nodes that you can expand or double-click for further details. When you select a message row in the Analysis Grid viewer, detailed information about the message displays in the Details, Message Data, Field Data, and Message Stack Tool Windows, providing that they are open, to facilitate analysis of message fields, values, and stack layer data. Since the Analysis Grid viewer is the main interface that you will use to analyze message traffic, this environment is sometimes referred to in this documentation as an Analysis Session. However, an Analysis Session can also encompass other data viewers in separate session tabs, such as the Protocol Dashboard or Top IP/Ethernet Conversations viewers.
Note Each New Session that you Start With the default Analysis Grid viewer displays on the Home tab as a separate viewer tab. Other data viewers such as SMB File Stats also display in separate viewer tabs.
Charts Tab
From the Message Analyzer Charts tab, you can create or modify Charts that contain graphic visualizer components for data analysis purposes, which includes bar charts, pie charts, timeline graphs in the x-y coordinate domain, and table grids. Message Analyzer provides numerous Chart data viewers by default, for example, the Top TCP/UDP Conversations and Top Talkers viewers. Message Analyzer enables you to create new Charts, or you can modify the default Chart viewers by removing visualizer components and/or adding your own custom components, layouts, and data mappings, as described in Configuring Chart Data Viewers. All the Chart viewers that Message Analyzer provides are described in the Data Viewers section.
The Charts tab provides access to various controls and dialogs that enable you to add new components, remove existing components, and create data mappings for new visualizer components. You can also use the Manage Charts dialog to export Charts, including any that you create, to a remote user file share or other location for sharing with other users. The Manage Charts dialog also enables you to import Charts that others create. In addition, you can share your Charts with others by creating your own custom subscriber feed in the Message Analyzer Sharing Infrastructure, with some current limitations regarding update synchronization on user-configured feeds, as described in Manual Item Update Synchronization.

Football: European champions Chelsea to make maiden trip to Indonesia in July
Published on Feb 7, 2013 9:31 PM
LONDON (REUTERS) - Chelsea will visit Indonesia for the first time in July as the final leg of their pre-season tour of Asia.
The European champions will face an Indonesia XI at Jakarta's 88,000-seat Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on July 25, following matches in Thailand and Malaysia.
Chelsea, whose website has Indonesian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and South Korean versions, have established strong links in Asia which chief executive Ron Gourlay said the club is keen to expand further.
"South-east Asia remains home to an ever-growing and passionate Chelsea FC support," he told the club's official website.

Doesn't Fedorishin have a reputation of choking at the WC's? Of so that might be why. He definitely has the skills to win it.
Doesn't Fedorishin have a reputation of choking at the WC's? Of so that might be why. He definitely has the skills to win it.
Craig, is Ammaev going instead of Sokhiev? Interesting pick.
Also interesting pick in Gazyumov. He wouldn't be able to meet Gatsalov in the finals and win though if the custom holds true.
55: Mankiev
60: Albiev
66: Tskhadaia
74: Kvirkvelia
84: Mishin
96: Hustov
120: Lopez
Even though my picks may not look like it, I predict Iran to take the team title. They have been performing solid this year.
Gatsalov is Ossetian. LOL are you trying to start a war? It's almost like stating Spike Lee is from Boston.
55: Felix
60: Fedorishin
66: Tushivili
74: Fundora
84: Gadisov
96: Gatsalov
120: Dlagnev
Goin with USA top and bottom......yeah I know it's a long shot, but what the hey.

Greco is just weird. You get guys coming out of nowhere to win (ie Nabi of Estonia, Yanyan of China) which then drift back into obscurity the next year. Bout you also get big-name guys who are sooo dominant (Gaber comes to mind, maybe Kvirkvelia) who have one spectacular run and then get really inconsistent again.
I wonder if Albiev and Khustov will reverse the trend... my picks, coming form someone who knows very little about greco:
55: Mankiev
60: Albiev
66: Mansurov
74: Lester
84: El Fatah (if he's still competing, if not I'll pick Mishine)
96: Khustov
120: Baroev

Upsides: great sound, great looks, very playable and intonation clean.
Downsides: the high F# pad collects saliva which drips on your left hand; just a challenge with the position of it. Sadly it shows with the black lacquer!

Back in November 2008, I made an observation about the newly elected Barack Obama on NPR's news analysis show "Tell Me More":
"Any leftists that thought Barack Obama wasn't going to be a centrist president are fooling themselves," I told the crew at TMM's "Barbershop" segment, where a group of analysts, mostly men of color, chew over the issues of the week.
Obama had been elected, in part, by a wave of liberal hopefuls who assumed the first black president would stand up for climate change, economic equality, gay rights and immigration reform in the way they assumed a man excoriated by the right as a dangerous socialist might attempt.
But it took Obama more than three years to make a significant move on immigration, finally agreeing last year to hold off on deporting the children of illegal immigrants after insisting for some time he had no power to act without Congress. Likewise, his endorsement of gay marriage last year came after years of supporting civil unions.
If there was a theme to Obama's first term, it was his status as a reluctant liberal, dragged into more left-wing policies by slow acceptance of the reality that many conservatives would rather crash the economy than compromise with him.
So, forgive me for a bit of skepticism as the world responds to his inauguration speech with cries that Obama's inner liberal has finally emerged.
Despite the hysteria from Republicans and conservative media, Obama has always been a centrist president whose liberal rhetoric was often backed by a pragmatism that muted his actual actions.
That he is viewed as a near-socialist by some conservative opponents says much more about the propaganda of the right - along with a serious misunderstanding of what actually defines extreme liberal positions and the president's willingness to let liberal allies see their values in him - than the reality of Obama's actions.
To be sure, there was a lot for liberals to like in Obama's inaugural address. He called for income equality across gender, ensuring "our gay brothers and sisters" are treated like everyone else under the law, responding to "the threat of climate change," ending long lines to vote and finding "a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity."
But there's another prominent politician who has said much the same thing about immigration: former Florida governor and prominent GOP wise man Jeb Bush.
In a commentary he co-authored for Friday's Wall Street Journal titled "Solving the Immigration Debate," Bush called for comprehensive immigration reform, affirming the notion that immigrants "replenish the American spirit" while criticizing opposition to creating a practical path to citizenship as "shortsighted and self-defeating."
It is another example of how far America politics have shifted rightward that such ideas sound like liberal policies to some, though Bush was careful to criticize providing amnesty for illegal immigrants currently in the United States. He also provided no specifics on how to deal with the 11 million people now living in America illegally.
There's plenty of other places where Obama is more centrist than his opponents would have anyone believe. He has not rolled back the powers of wiretapping, detention of suspected terrorists and killing of terrorists assumed by George W. Bush following the 9/11 attacks.
His economic advisers, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, came from the same Wall Street crowd who tanked the economy in the first place. His highly criticized "Obamacare" health care changes didn't even attempt the single-payer, universal system supported by far-left advocates and maintained by most other industrialized countries.
In the area of climate change, Obama's predecessor George W. Bush resisted the notion that human activities were changing the climate and rejected international agreements calling for steep reductions in the emission of greenhouse gases. But Bush also promised to cut greenhouse gases by 18% by 2012 and stop the growth of such emissions by 2025.
Obama has promised to cut greenhouse gases 17% by 2020 and 50% (from 2005 levels) by 2050. Does that seem particularly different?
Conservatives have decried Obama's "imperial presidency," saying he has instituted policies regarding immigration and other issues by executive fiat - telling agencies to loosen enforcement of laws he's doesn't like.
But when conservative opposition forces even a routine debt limit extension vote to the brink, Congress pushes the president to act on his own, giving him political cover from a public that has grown tired of a government too partisan to govern.
Given all the partisan fire-breathing in politics today, it's no surprise that a 2005 Harris poll found substantial numbers of Americans were confused about what political positions actually constituted liberal and conservative ideologies, concluding that liberals opposed gun control and conservatives favored affirmative action programs.
The sad fact is, our president has a long history of talking more liberally than he acts, cutting pragmatic deals which disappoint his liberal base even as they enrage conservatives.
And it will take a lot more than the heady rhetoric of an inauguration speech thanking the groups that helped him earn a second term to change that track record.

This is the first of two I will be building. This one is pretty much OOB, me being me just could not leave it completely OOB. All though the only thing I did add was some firewood for the boiler. And let me tell you, spliting wood in July in GA about slap wore me out.
This is the old AMT kit that pops up on Ebay pretty regularly. Been wanting one for a long while and scored two at once. The kit is pretty much your standard AMT kit from the era and very similar to the ALF trucks in that the stryrene is hard and don't like to glue to well , the decals completely blow and the fit is questionable in some areas. But all that just makes for the challenge we all seek right. Well that and no one else does anything close to this so might as well suck it up.
Here's a few pics, well several actually, takes a few to cover the thing. Now for this one to head off to the auction block as promised to SWMBO as part of the deal for getting two.
And how about a pose with some somewhat period fire gear?
As always comments and complaints welcome.

Nice work! I have a couple of those Ahrens Fox steamer kits, first one is in MPC box (MPC actually issued the kit first).
The only comment I might make is that those steam pumpers were fired with coal, rather than wood.

The Sony BDP-S3200 will play your Blu-rays just fine but it doesn't do enough to embrace streaming media like its competitors.
Samsung revealed its new flagship Blu-ray player at CES 2013, capable of upconverting content to 4K and a nifty reverse-AirPlay streaming-video feature.
The Panasonic DMP-B100 is the cheapest way to watch your Blu-ray movies on the go, but other portable media options, like an iPad or Blu-ray-equipped laptop, are more attractive.
Samsung's BD-P4600 Blu-ray player is packed with features and its unique design makes it wall-mountable, but most buyers will be better off with the step-down BD-P3600.
The Panasonic DVD-LS83 is a solid-performing portable DVD player, though you may be able to find a similar player for a cheaper price.
The Panasonic DMP-B15 is the world's first portable Blu-ray player that can function as a standalone player, too, but ultimately it has too many caveats and costs too much.
The Insignia NS-2BRDVD is an underfeatured and slow-loading Blu-ray player, but it provides basic Blu-ray playback at a bargain.
Pricing not available
The BDP-S300 is a decent choice if you're limiting yourself to a relatively cheap, standard-design Blu-ray player, but everyone else should consider the competition.
Panasonic has listened. The third incarnation of the AG-DVX100 offers unrivalled bang for the buck in a prosumer standard-definition MiniDV camera.

Drought prompts KWA to explore new options
A continuing drought, rain gods who seem to be on a long holiday, and fast depleting water levels in the Peppara reservoir have prompted the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) to start scouting for new water sources to meet the capital city's requirements.
From the water level of 95.7 metres in June 2012, which itself was an all-time seasonal low, against the total capacity of 104.5 m, the levels in Peppara plummeted to 92.7 m as on Tuesday. Combined with the water in the Aruvikkara reservoir, this is likely to suffice for a supply of about 25 days. Though the KWA believes, or rather, hopes, that it could rain in between and save the day for them, Managing Director Ashok Kumar Singh has already sent his men out to look for new and alternative sources of water.
While one idea the KWA is toying with is the installation of hand pumps or bore wells in residential areas, after one residents' association came up with the idea of having one such pump or well for every 10 houses. Another option is to check out how the Vamanapuram river and other waterbodies in that region can be used to tackle emergency situations in the district.
While this does not mean that the long-pending Vamanapuram Irrigation Project might get a fresh lease of life, the possibilities of having a check-dam constructed to draw water from the river are being examined.
"As of now, the river is underutilised with water being taken only for the Varkala and Attingal water supply schemes. We are conducting studies to see how the river can be used in emergency situations for requirements of the capital city," Mr. Singh said.
Reverse osmosis plants
Meanwhile, procedures to hand over contracts to set up seven desalination/reverse osmosis plants on the Thiruvananthapuram coast are in the final stage. The sites identified for the plants are Veli, Pozhiyoor, the Muthalapozhi Harbour site, Vettukad, Poovar, Anchuthengu, and Puthiyathura. The plants, according to Mr. Singh, could become functional in two to three months once the contracts were awarded. These could solve the water crisis along the coastline to some extent.

Newest 2009 Jeep Liberty Problem Reports
If the power door locks are buzzing or are intermittently noisy, a new door latch assembly may solve this. The door lock actuators are integrated into the latch assemblies.
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Low fluid level in the differential or transfer case can result in bearing failure. Damaged bearings commonly cause a whine or growl type noise.
Broken exhaust manifold bolts can create an exhaust leak; the exhaust manifold gaskets and bolts should be replaced.
The power window motor commonly fails in the front and rear doors. This may require replacement of the complete window regulator assembly which will include the window motor.
The manual transmission may jump out of gear. Our technicians tell us that replacing the 1-2 synchronizer assembly should correct this concern.
The sky slider sunroof may develop a wind noise and/or loss of "express" mode. Our technicians tell us that lubrication the front drive cables, replacing the front header bow, and initializing the sunroof module will generally correct these concerns.
The sky slider sunroof may not open. A software upgrade for the control module is available which should correct this concern.
The remote keyless entry system (including remote vehicle start) may not work intermittently. Our technicians tell us that replacing and programing the key fobs will generally correct this concern.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with code on or more of the following codes: P2302, P2305, P2308, P2311, P2314, P2317, P2610. Reprogramming of the PCM will be necessary to correct this concern.
The fuel tank may become hard to fill and/or the fuel fill nozzle may shut off repeatedly while fueling. Our technicians tell us that various items including the fuel tank, vapor recirculation tube, fuel fill tube, or EVAP system canister control valve may be at fault. Proper diagnoses will be required to determine the exact cause of this concern.
A popping or groan type noise may occur when opening or closing one or more of the vehicle doors. This may be caused bu insufficient lube on the lower hinge roller axle. Applying a small amount of grease between the roller pin and the inside surface should correct this concern. Our technicians tell us if the grease is not applied in the correct location, the noise will remain.
There are a number of checks to perform if the windows do not move smoothly through their travel. It may be interference between parts, the window regulator, or the window run channel.
The 3.7L V6 and 4.7L V8 in very cold climates (below freezing temperatures) moisture can collect in the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system and freeze. This will cause various drivability problems and there are revised PCV system components to repair this concern.

As an insightful amateur historian, he traces the war's roots in prior hostilities between Greece and Persia and examines the relative merits of the Athenian League and the Spartan alliance. Scrupulously impartial and accurate, he presents detailed, knowledgeable accounts of the battles, in addition to dialogues reflecting the political atmosphere. This ancient tale of the rise and fall of a democratic empire bears numerous parallels with modern times. As the author remarked of his work, "I shall be satisfied if it be thought useful by those who wish to know the exact character of events now past which, human nature being what it is, will recur in similar or analogous forms."
The State of Greece from the earliest Times to the Commencement of the Peloponnesian War
THUCYDIDES, an Athenian, wrote the history of the war between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, beginning at the moment that it broke out, and believing that it would be a great war, and more worthy of relation than any that had preceded it. This belief was not without its grounds. The preparations of both the combatants were in every department in the last state of perfection; and he could see the rest of the Hellenic race taking sides in the quarrel; those who delayed doing so at once having it in contemplation. Indeed this was the greatest movement yet known in history, not only of the Hellenes, but of a large part of the barbarian world—I had almost said of mankind. For though the events of remote antiquity, and even those that more immediately precede the war, could not from lapse of time be clearly ascertained, yet the evidences which an inquiry carried as far back as was practicable leads me to trust, all point to the conclusion that there was nothing on a great scale, either in war or in other matters.
For instance, it is evident that the country now called Hellas had in ancient times no settled population; on the contrary, migrations were of frequent occurrence, the several tribes readily abandoning their homes under the pressure of superior numbers. Without commerce, without freedom of communication either by land or sea, cultivating no more of their territory than the exigencies of life required, destitute of capital, never planting their land (for they could not tell when an invader might not come and take it all away, and when he did come they had no walls to stop him), thinking that the necessities of daily sustenance could be supplied at one place as well as another, they cared little for shifting their habitation, and consequently neither built large cities nor attained to any other form of greatness. The richest soils were always most subject to this change of masters; such as the district now called Thessaly, Botia, most of the Peloponnese, Arcadia excepted, and the most fertile parts of the rest of Hellas. The goodness of the land favoured the aggrandisement of particular individuals, and thus created faction which proved a fertile source of ruin. It also invited invasion. Accordingly Attica, from the poverty of its soil enjoying from a very remote period freedom from faction, never changed its inhabitants. And here is no inconsiderable exemplification of my assertion, that the migrations were the cause of there being no correspondent growth in other parts. The most powerful victims of war or faction from the rest of Hellas took refuge with the Athenians as a safe retreat; and at an early period, becoming naturalised, swelled the already large population of the city to such a height that Attica became at last too small to hold them, and they had to send out colonies to Ionia.
There is also another circumstance that contributes not a little to my conviction of the weakness of ancient times. Before the Trojan war there is no indication of any common action in Hellas, nor indeed of the universal prevalence of the name; on the contrary, before the time of Hellen, son of Deucalion, no such appellation existed, but the country went by the names of the different tribes, in particular of the Pelasgian. It was not till Hellen and his sons grew strong in Phthiotis, and were invited as allies into the other cities, that one by one they gradually acquired from the connexion the name of Hellenes; though a long time elapsed before that name could fasten itself upon all. The best proof of this is furnished by Homer. Born long after the Trojan war, he nowhere calls all of them by that name, nor indeed any of them except the followers of Achilles from Phthiotis, who were the original Hellenes: in his poems they are called Danaans, Argives, and Achæns. He does not even use the term barbarian, probably because the Hellenes had not yet been marked off from the rest of the world by one distinctive appellation. It appears therefore that the several Hellenic communities, comprising not only those who first acquired the name, city by city, as they came to understand each other, but also those who assumed it afterwards as the name of the whole people, were before the Trojan war prevented by their want of strength and the absence of mutual intercourse from displaying any collective action.
Indeed, they could not unite for this expedition till they had gained increased familiarity with the sea. And the first person known to us by tradition as having established a navy is Minos. He made himself master of what is now called the Hellenic sea, and ruled over the Cyclades, into most of which he sent the first colonies, expelling the Carians and appointing his own sons governors; and thus did his best to put down piracy in those waters, a necessary step to secure the revenues for his own use.
For in early times the Hellenes and the barbarians of the coast and islands, as communication by sea became more common, were tempted to turn pirates, under the conduct of their most powerful men; the motives being to serve their own cupidity and to support the needy. They would fall upon a town unprotected by walls, and consisting of a mere collection of villages, and would plunder it; indeed, this came to be the main source of their livelihood, no disgrace being yet attached to such an achievement, but even some glory. An illustration of this is furnished by the honour with which some of the inhabitants of the continent still regard a successful marauder, and by the question we find the old poets everywhere representing the people as asking of voyagers—'Are they pirates?'—as if those who are asked the question would have no idea of disclaiming the imputation, or their interrogators of reproaching them for it. The same rapine prevailed also by land.
And even at the present day many parts of Hellas still follow the old fashion, the Ozolian Locrians for instance, the Ætolians, the Acarnanians, and that region of the continent; and the custom of carrying arms is still kept up among these continentals, from the old piratical habits. The whole of Hellas used once to carry arms, their habitations being unprotected and their communication with each other unsafe; indeed, to wear arms was as much a part of everyday life with them as with the barbarians. And the fact that the people in these parts of Hellas are still living in the old way points to a time when the same mode of life was once equally common to all. The Athenians were the first to lay aside their weapons, and to adopt an easier and more luxurious mode of life; indeed, it is only lately that their rich old men left off the luxury of wearing undergarments of linen, and fastening a knot of their hair with a tie of golden grasshoppers, a fashion which spread to their Ionian kindred, and long prevailed among the old men there. On the contrary a modest style of dressing, more in conformity with modern ideas, was first adopted by the Lacedæmonians, the rich doing their best to assimilate their way of life to that of the common people. They also set the example of contending naked, publicly stripping and anointing themselves with oil in their gymnastic exercises. Formerly, even in the Olympic contests, the athletes who contended wore belts across their middles; and it is but a few years since that the practice ceased. To this day among some of the barbarians, especially in Asia, when prizes for boxing and wrestling are offered, belts are worn by the combatants. And there are many other points in which a likeness might be shown between the life of the Hellenic world of old and the barbarian of to-day.
With respect to their towns, later on, at an era of increased facilities of navigation and a greater supply of capital, we find the shores becoming the site of walled towns, and the isthmuses being occupied for the purposes of commerce, and defence against a neighbour. But the old towns, on account of the great prevalence of piracy, were built away from the sea, whether on the islands or the continent, and still remain in their old sites. For the pirates used to plunder one another, and indeed all coast populations, whether seafaring or not.
The islanders, too, were great pirates. These islanders were Carians and Phnicians, by whom most of the islands were colonised, as was proved by the following fact. During the purification of Delos by Athens in this war all the graves in the island were taken up, and it was found that above half their inmates were Carians: they were identified by the fashion of the arms buried with them, and by the method of interment, which was the same as the Carians still follow. But as soon as Minos had formed his navy, communication by sea became easier, as he colonised most of the islands, and thus expelled the malefactors. The coast population now began to apply themselves more closely to the acquisition of wealth, and their life became more settled; some even began to build themselves walls on the strength of their newly-acquired riches. For the love of gain would reconcile the weaker to the dominion of the stronger, and the possession of capital enabled the more powerful to reduce the smaller towns to subjection. And it was at a somewhat later stage of this development that they went on the expedition against Troy.
What enabled Agamemnon to raise the armament was more, in my opinion, his superiority in strength, than the oaths of Tyndareus, which bound the Suitors to follow him. Indeed, the account given by those Peloponnesians who have been the recipients of the most credible tradition is this. First of all Pelops, arriving among a needy population from Asia with vast wealth, acquired such power that, stranger though he was, the country was called after him; and this power fortune saw fit materially to increase in the hands of his descendants. Eurystheus had been killed in Attica by the Heraclids. Atreus was his mother's brother; and to the hands of his relation, who had left his father on account of the death of Chrysippus, Eurystheus, when he set out on his expedition, had committed Mycenæ and the government. As time went on and Eurystheus did not return, Atreus complied with the wishes of the Mycenæans, who were influenced by fear of the Heraclids,—besides, his power seemed considerable, and he had not neglected to court the favour of the populace,—and assumed the sceptre of Mycenæ and the rest of the dominions of Eurystheus. And so the power of the descendants of Pelops came to be greater than that of the descendants of Perseus. To all this Agamemnon succeeded. He had also a navy far stronger than his contemporaries, so that, in my opinion, fear was quite as strong an element as love in the formation of the confederate expedition. The strength of his navy is shown by the fact that his own was the largest contingent, and that of the Arcadians was furnished by him; this at least is what Homer says, if his testimony is deemed sufficient. Besides, in his account of the transmission of the sceptre, he calls him
'Of many an isle, and of all Argos king.'
Now Agamemnon's was a continental power; and he could not have been master of any except the adjacent islands (and these would not be many), but through the possession of a fleet.
And from this expedition we may infer the character of earlier enterprises. Now Mycenæ may have been a small place, and many of the towns of that age may appear comparatively insignificant, but no exact observer would therefore feel justified in rejecting the estimate given by the poets and by tradition of the magnitude of the armament. For I suppose if Lacedæmon were to become desolate, and the temples and the foundations of the public buildings were left, that as time went on there would be a strong disposition with posterity to refuse to accept her fame as a true exponent of her power. And yet they occupy two-fifths of Peloponnese and lead the whole, not to speak of their numerous allies without. Still, as the city is neither built in a compact form nor adorned with magnificent temples and public edifices, but composed of villages after the old fashion of Hellas, there would be an impression of inadequacy. Whereas, if Athens were to suffer the same misfortune, I suppose that any inference from the appearance presented to the eye would make her power to have been twice as great as it is. We have therefore no right to be sceptical, nor to content ourselves with an inspection of a town to the exclusion of a consideration of its power; but we may safely conclude that the armament in question surpassed all before it, as it fell short of modern efforts; if we can here also accept the testimony of Homer's poems, in which, without allowing for the exaggeration which a poet would feel himself licensed to employ, we can see that it was far from equalling ours. He has represented it as consisting of twelve hundred vessels; the Botian complement of each ship being a hundred and twenty men, that of the ships of Philoctetes fifty. By this, I conceive, he meant to convey the maximum and the minimum complement: at any rate he does not specify the amount of any others in his catalogue of the ships. That they were all rowers as well as warriors we see from his account of the ships of Philoctetes, in which all the men at the oar are bowmen. Now it is improbable that many supernumeraries sailed if we except the kings and high officers; especially as they had to cross the open sea with munitions of war, in ships, moreover, that had no decks, but were equipped in the old piratical fashion. So that if we strike the average of the largest and smallest ships, the number of those who sailed will appear inconsiderable, representing, as they did, the whole force of Hellas. And this was due not so much to scarcity of men as of money. Difficulty of subsistence made the invaders reduce the numbers of the army to a point at which it might live on the country during the prosecution of the war. Even after the victory they obtained on their arrival—and a victory there must have been, or the fortifications of the naval camp could never have been built—there is no indication of their whole force having been employed; on the contrary, they seem to have turned to cultivation of the Chersonese and to piracy from want of supplies. This was what really enabled the Trojans to keep the field for ten years against them; the dispersion of the enemy making them always a match for the detachment left behind. If they had brought plenty of supplies with them, and had persevered in the war without scattering for piracy and agriculture, they would have easily defeated the Trojans in the field; since they could hold their own against them with the division on service. In short, if they had stuck to the siege, the capture of Troy would have cost them less time and less trouble. But as want of money proved the weakness of earlier expeditions, so from the same cause even the one in question, more famous than its predecessors, may be pronounced on the evidence of what it effected to have been inferior to its renown and to the current opinion about it formed under the tuition of the poets.
Even after the Trojan war Hellas was still engaged in removing and settling, and thus could not attain to the quiet which must precede growth. The late return of the Hellenes from Ilium caused many revolutions, and factions ensued almost everywhere; and it was the citizens thus driven into exile who founded the cities. Sixty years after the capture of Ilium the modern Botians were driven out of Arne by the Thessalians, and settled in the present Botia, the former Cadmeis; though there was a division of them there before, some of whom joined the expedition to Ilium. Twenty years later the Dorians and the Heraclids became masters of Peloponnese; so that much had to be done and many years had to elapse before Hellas could attain to a durable tranquillity undisturbed by removals, and could begin to send out colonies, as Athens did to Ionia and most of the islands, and the Peloponnesians to most of Italy and Sicily and some places in the rest of Hellas. All these places were founded subsequently to the war with Troy.

I read this book while studying greek history. It was hard for me to understand at first but i got the hang of it after a while. It was an amazing first hand account of everything that went on during the war and it is loaded with history. I learned a lot from it about the governments of Athens and Sparta and loads of other places and people in ancient greece along with battle tactics and such. Even though it was a dificult read I am amazed at how much i learned and i don't know how any study of ancient greece could do without it. I would not suggest it for anyone younger than twelve which was how old i was when i read it but like i said it was dificult for me at that age and is not really the kind of book that will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I would encourage everyone to read it, it is a great book and a definate classic.

The conflict of the Second or Great Peloponnesian War lasted from 431-404 BCE. It was a fratricidal war that divided the Grecian city-states into the two spheres of the Lacedaemonian Confederation and the Athenian Hegemony. The Delian League that was to act as a defensive perimeter of the Grecians and stave off future Persian invasions transformed into a power that was dominated by a single hegemonic state: the Athenian polis. The period of the First Athenian Hegemony lasted from 478-404 BCE and it was essentially a thalassocracy. A thalassocracy is a political entity whose sole basis for its supremacy or even its very existence depends on the mastery of the seas and the dominance of its navies. As soon as the Athenians were defeated at the naval engagement at Aegospotami in 405 BCE, the Athenian port of Piraeus was blockaded and with the destruction of its naval forces and the loss of its former maritime supremacy, the Athenian Hegemony collapsed. The Athenian response to the Lacedaemonian threat was the Periclean Strategy which was divided into three main strategic points: 1. Offensive assaults by sea [For the constant harassment of Lacedaemonian and Lacedaemonian allied coastal cities and for the seizure of poorly defended regions that were accessible by sea], 2. A defensive stance on land; a policy of containment [The Athenians would allow the Lacedaemonians to ravage the adjacent lands and the surrounding countryside in Attica while Athens itself and the port of Piraeus were well-defended with the Long Walls, and 3. The maintenance of foreign trade [While the Athenians formed a stranglehold on its inveterate foes through the might of its formidable fleets, Athens would enrich itself with trade maintained with foreign states].

DARPA Hopes To Retrieve, Reuse Components From Dead Satellites
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced a new program that would recycle parts from non-functioning satellites to help save money when constructing replacement satellites, various media outlets reported Friday.
According to Andrew Tarantola of Gizmodo, DARPA's Phoenix system "consists of a primary Tender/Servicer satellite and multiple smaller mini-satellites called 'Satlets.' As the plan goes, after the Tender has reached geosynchronous orbit (GEO), the Satlets are launched aboard a commercial communications satellite from which the Tender will collect them and store them on-board itself."
In a Thursday press release, DARPA officials said that they believe there is more than $300 billion worth of satellites in GEO, some 22,000 miles above the Earth's surface. Of those, many have been retired and place in a so-called "graveyard" orbit.
Even so, the military organization believes that these craft contain several valuable component parts, including antennas, which could be retrieved and re-used to cut the costs of producing new or replacement satellites.
Antennas are of particular interest, Evan Ackerman of Dvice reports, because of their size. Ackerman says that Phoenix would harvest antennas and other functional parts from retired satellites, then would assemble the parts together to form a new, working module.
"One major hurdle is that satellites out that far in space were not launched with the expectation that it would ever be possible to service them," he added. "So, they're not exactly easy to take apart, meaning that any harvester system will need to be able to cut through metal casings and rip out subsystems that were never intended to be ripped out. It'll probably all be done through telepresence, with a human on the ground directly controlling the appendages and tools on the harvester satellite."
In a statement, DARPA program manager David Barnhart admits that achieving success with the program won't be easy.
"Satellites in GEO are not designed to be disassembled or repaired, so it´s not a matter of simply removing some nuts and bolts," he said. "This requires new remote imaging and robotics technology and special tools to grip, cut, and modify complex systems, since existing joints are usually molded or welded."
"Another challenge is developing new remote operating procedures to hold two parts together so a third robotic 'hand' can join them with a third part, such as a fastener, all in zero gravity," Barnhart added. "For a person operating such robotics, the complexity is similar to trying to assemble via remote control multiple Legos at the same time while looking through a telescope."
However, the potential payoff could be enormous. Tarantola called it "a brilliant idea," and DARPA Director Regina E. Dugan said, "If this program is successful, space debris becomes space resource."

Just thought I'd bump your post up for input. Anyone care to share?
My anxiety and depression got so bad I had to go into a psych ward for mothers with severe mental health issues and their children. It took 3 weeks of going through a change in medication that turned everything around for me (switched to Effexor). I went from being afraid to be alone with my son to enjoying him again and feeling love for him again. I never thought I would get through it, but here I am on the other side. There is hope!

text: http://www.linuxquestions.org – While we run an annual set of polls called the Members Choice Awards, I thought it might be fun to run some semi-official polls periodically throughout the year. Unlike the MCA's these polls will have no set end date and you can see the results real-time. First up, what was your first Linux distribution? This thread can be used to suggest new topics for a future poll. We don't have any set frequency at this point; we'll likely base that on the popularity of the first few polls. Thanks for the feedback. --jeremy (HowTos)
