Personal branding and your job search
Hiring managers spend a short amount of time reviewing résumé before making decision about whether to reject you or consider you further. So in order to stand out you must consider yourself as a brand. By having a strong message of who you are, what experience you have and what direction you're going in, you're expressing your individuality to the hiring manager instead of being a faceless part of the crowd.

The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
"Less is more" a saying that seems to be forgotten in the workplace. Capable employees are overloading themselves with tasks and managers are too busy to notice the very best use of their people. This leads to employees completing projects that don't fully utilize their highest point of contribution, which is a loss for the company. It's important for us to be multifaceted but at the same time having a distinct skill or position is a great advantage.

A student recently asked me: "Pete, how can I make a great first impression when I meet someone new?" A great question indeed, what you say is usually not nearly as important as how you say it.

rain riding...!
So i was thinking to ask a few question and maybe i can get some answers that will help me and other guys that have some issues with rain and riding in the rain...
How do you guys see the riding conditions in rain...do you slow down allot or keep the same normal pace...its obvious that you`re not going to push the limit of the bike and the tires .... i have this one big problem...no experience in rain this is the first one and then it comes to one experience that always comes back...racing bike 600 cc honda cbr on sport tires and me never riding such a bike ....rain comes over me and everything starts to be so slippery...and then 10 km away from home i lay the bike down at about 30 km per h....:)...sweet...
So whats the secret of riding in the rain.... how is the grip compared to dry conditions.... how much less grip do you have in rain...maybe there are some things that you can do so that u figure out the grip... i am not an experienced rider and hope i can get some answers from guys that ride allot in bad conditions and so on....

I always find that many people have a fear of riding in the rain. What would you do if you are caught out in the rain while riding or are forced to ride through rain for any one of many reasons? What can you do?
You need to practice. I find when teaching that riding in the rain is one of a rider's biggest fears. One of the reasons I don't mind teaching the BRC or ERC in the rain is that it really helps the students out so much more than when learning in sunny weather. They learn right at the start that riding in the rain can be controlled. So find that parking lot, and get to work! (On a rainy day of course!) When you first start to practice in the lot there should be little to no traffic but it will still help you rebuild your confidence. As you get more comfortable, work up to residential areas where you will have some traffic and so on.
Now you may be saying: "Yeah, sure, but the feeling I have is that wet surfaces don't give any warning. One moment you've got grip, the next it's gone. How then, can you practice ...?" You must realize that cars can hydroplane much more easily than a bike with good tires. The rounded profile and carefully designed tread patterns on modern motorcycle tires really limit hydroplaning- you would be down in a second if they didn't. Car tires with lots of the right kind of tread will resist hydroplaning, but as the tread gets worn, cars can hydroplane pretty easily. Being on the verge of hydroplaning creates the feeling that the vehicle isn't "planted" anymore whether in a car or on your ride. When this phenomenon happens, fear can rear its ugly head.
You can ask just about anyone that has crashed on a motorcycle about fear. What ever caused them to go down, sharp right hand curve in a downhill, decreasing radius turns etc, fear will cause them to be uneasy for a while when encountering a similar situation again. Just hang in there, practice, and practice and you will be fine.
First and foremost you have to get past the fear. It takes over your brain and does not allow one to make proper decisions and take corrective actions. I ride in the dirt as well as on the street and it can be firm, loose, slippery etc. You have to ride the bike, look ahead, think of what you want to do and do it all without fear. If you are scared you are not doing the many things that riding the bike requires.
Typically a bike will hold traction much better than most of us can ride it! Even in the rain!! You need to trust your tires. Try using your rear brake when it's wet to test how much traction you have available. Keep in mind that your mentality can be your worst enemy. You should be relaxed and be as smooth as you can on the throttle and brakes. Trust is a learned behavior so if you acquire some experience with the available traction in the wet then your trust of your tires (and your bike) will improve.
When riding in the wet, explore available traction with the rear wheel primarily, and only with the bike straight upright. You can test the rear brake to its limit as well as perform acceleration tests to investigate the limits of wet traction you have (in a controlled environment of course). I was impressed one time when I was able to loft the front wheel in the wet, not that I was trying... but it's just a testament to the grip of good tires these days. Of course I have spun up the rear as well when assessing traction in the wet, but this is all part of the learning experience. This is where you will build confidence in how much traction is there. Good tire tread depth is also very important for those of us who ride in the rain!
Other than working with some trainers and performing some practice there is not much else I can advise you to do. Keep in min though when you are out on the road and it's raining, don't let the drivers behind you "push" you out of a comfortable range of speed. I'd rather be slow and safe than appease the person behind me by speeding up.
I hope this helps,

Well said! Had the same question when I was new to riding. Practiced with traction in parking lots, empty roads etc, and now I ride everyday in this crappy Seattle rain. Just take your time and don't push your limits. Good luck.

This is what I go by in my rain riding.
I am not a better rider than the tires.
Sportbikes: Pilot Power Michelin Motorcycle Tire
You don't have to be world champion to get your hands on Michelin® MotoGP tire technology. Pilot® Power tires use a rubber mix that was originally developed for MotoGP racing, and a tread pattern that covers less than 12% of the tires surface. The result is a maximum lean angle of 50.6 degrees on dry pavement and 41.9 degrees in the wet, achieved with a stock sportbike. How did we do it? When your test riders are winning on 230-horsepower MotoGP bikes, you learn a few things about performance.

Very good tips. Testing the traction level with the rear brake is the best you can do. Of course, modern touring tires like the Pilot Road 3 or the new Z8 M/O do help a lot. Most important is to be smooth, whatever you do, do it smooth. Smooth throttle, smooth brakes, smooth turn in and you can do a lot in the rain.
In general I do slow down a bit in the rain and am less agressive on the throttle (I have ABS, so braking isn't an issue) so I end up vaguely at the posted speed limit. Through the courners I do add a little bit extra cautiousness.
If you stay relaxed and don't push it, there's no problem with riding in the rain, take a look:

Find an empty field of wet grass. Learn what it feels like to lose traction and play with it. Learn how to slide on soft ground and low speeds where the consequences are limited.

One of the main things to keep in mind when riding in the rain is the center of the lane, especially at intersections will be really slick. The traction is in the wheel tracks of the cars.
Also watch for places where they smeared tar all over the road, there is zero traction there. On a certain downhill offramp with a stop at the bottom here in akron, the entire road is just one big sheet of tar. The first time I came down that off ramp in the rain i was in for a real shock. It would have been nice to have ABS at that moment, I was intermittently locking the front and rear. No traffic so i rolled through the stop sign due to the truck barreling down from behind, I sure wasn't trusting his ability to stop.
I actually enjoy riding in the rain quite a bit, especially when i have the road to myself. Powerslides, rolling burnouts, etc... It brings out the hooligan in me.
Probably the biggest danger of rain riding is the other cars, they can't see shit when its sunny and clear, its even worse when visibility is limited.

there really isnt that much difference in grip levels However this assumes the surface is clean.And i am talking about the actual asphalt or concrete or whatever.As long as you have good tyres which are at a good temperature you still have lots of grip,......
However.There are lots of things in the road which ARE slippery when wet.ie metal manhole covers,expansion strips,painted road markings.You must avoid these or plan to go over them as upright as possible with little or no turning braking or accelleration inputs.
And when it rains after a long dry spell the road WILL be very slippery with a build up of oils and rubber and dirt.You can feel this.The bike FEELS unstable,the surface FEELS slippery.
And lastly there is aquaplaning.I honestly beleive motorcycles aqua plane LESS than cars,or tyre shapes i think actually cut through standing water,up to a point.
I beleive that most of us would not outride the grip of good tyres on a race track in the wet.We would may have to modulate braking or throttle inputs but actual cornering grip Ii think would astound you.
It rains year round in NZ .My riding style doesnt really change but i am a "low input" rider anyway.I dont brake hard i dont use the throttle hard and i dont really slow down much for corners wet or dry
I didnt talk about the other effects of riding in the rain.You may find your visor fogs up,you can get light spray build up on your visor,and visibility can be drastically reduced by the spray from(especially truck) tyres

If you travel long distances on a motorcycle, you will have lots of wild weather. I ride in the rain a little more cautiously, looking for surface hazards and carrying too much speed on the side of the tire. Not much beyond that. If the temps are below 40, I am careful riding over lane paint too. It can cause a little slip here and there, but nothing dramatic. Modern tires are very grippy in the wet. Even DOT knobbies.
For me the big thing is comfort and good visibility. Dry and warm rain gear and a helmet that allows me to deal with the fog. If the rain is hard enough to hurt visibility, I pull over for a half hour or so. The squall passes and all is well again.
With the right gear I can ride rain for days on end and enjoy it the same way as if it was dry.

+1 on everything he said. Relax, ride your own ride. When the rain hits I slow down a lot and increase speed as I feel comfortable. Sometimes I just stop and have a coffee :)

I ride in rain daily for much of the year in Portland. I am a big fan of tires that work well in the wet and for me these have been several sets of Avon Gripsters. I understand Avon tends to be generous with silica in their recipes and silica is good for durable wet / cold traction.
Regarding exploring available traction, it is very handy to have a good feel for what is available. My bike is a big single so it can strobe the rear tire out pretty easily on wet city corners. This slip - stick behaviour is very informative.
Watch out for wet front-wheel braking / slowing / turning across wet tracks, leaves, grates,... If you give the front wheel very little to do besides keep rolling when you cross these at shallow angles then it will usually work fine. Don't do anything on wet bridge grates and stay far enough behind whatever idiot is in front of you.
*Watch out for parking garages where the surfaces get wet but not clean. *Watch out for random auto oil drip weirdness. Some turns and streets seem to be atypically slick and you may get to know where these are so you can adjust. Paint stripes, painted bike boxes, and adhered striping can be very slick or it can be fine.
I too have unitentionally lifted the wheel in a downpour and it is not uncommon for the rear wheel to spin up a bit. I don't see alot of value to riding on wet grass with street tires.

As for being seen, I wear hi-viz/reflective, my bike is lit up on all sides, and I keep a slow weave in my lane going to create lateral motion.
Stay aware, using your peripheral vision and mirrors. Use a pinlock or some other anti-fog solution that works for you.

Upon monitoring my network connection (I was actually checking on something else and caught it out the corner of my eye), while trying to run a report I noticed something strange.
A simple is for those two IPs lead to:
[Querying whois.arin.net] [whois.arin.net] # # Query terms are ambiguous. The query is assumed to be: # "n 22.214.171.124" # # Use "?" to get help. # # # The following results may also be obtained via: # http://whois.arin.net/rest/nets;q=188.8.131.52?showDetails=true&showARIN=false&ext=netref2 # Offermatica (Omniture PO 2805) INAP-PHX003-OFFERMATICA-70-42-13-0 (NET-70-42-13-0-1) 188.8.131.52 - 126.96.36.199 Internap Network Services Corporation PNAP-09-2005 (NET-70-42-0-0-1) 126.96.36.199 - 184.108.40.206 # # ARIN WHOIS data and services are subject to the Terms of Use # available at: https://www.arin.net/whois_tou.html #
Ok, so a cloud center - sure I get that with the data protect (even though it's not enabled on this company file and has never been so).
The second is another lead to something called AppNexus
[color=#666666][font=Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] [Querying whois.arin.net][/size][/font][/color] [Redirected to rwhois.appnexus.net:4321] [Querying rwhois.appnexus.net] [rwhois.appnexus.net] %rwhois V-1.5:003eff:00 01.coreinfra.nym1.appnexus.net (by Network Solutions, Inc. V-22.214.171.124) %referral rwhois://root.rwhois.net:4321/auth-area=. %ok
So why is AppNexus so interesting to me? Well, because my information is GOING OUT to AppNexus while running a report in QuickBooks. I can find NO mention of AppNexus anywhere on Intuits website (or even google for that matter).
Anyone else find this funny or am I being over paranoid at this point? I've got concerns with a thirdparty being involved in my or my client's companies financial books.

Build Strength Using Your Own Body Weight
A Light Warm-up — Do some walking or march in place for a few minutes — anything to get your body ready for more intense exercise.
Common Bodyweight Exercises
• The push up is a perfect example of a bodyweight exercise. It will utilize almost every muscle in your body. If you are in fairly good condition already, start on your hands and toes. If you need to adapt the exercise, start on your knees.
• Try a side jump. Place an object on the floor like a book or small pillow. Stand with your feet together. Jump to the right of the object keeping knees bent. Jump back to the other side and continue jumping side to side.
• Remember the squat-thrust? Stand with feet together. Squat all the way to the ground and place your hands on the ground, kick your legs straight out behind you to a push up position, return feet to your hands and stand up.
• Pull ups are also a great bodyweight exercise, but require a bit of equipment. A strong tree branch or a bar on a park's swing set can work.
Equipment — You may need to incorporate a few basic items, such as a chair, to complete some bodyweight exercises.You may also want to consider incorporating resistance bands into your workout. These bands are very inexpensive ($10 to $15) and take up little space.

WOW this is a great fight

So what have I missed?
30-27 Mizugaki IMO for what it's worth
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
Hey Sak, how come there is a championship belt next to your name? Something to do with the pick-ems?
I have it 29-28 Mizugaki, but takedowns can really fog up the process.
That referee looks like Glacier from WCW...
Yeesh, dunno how Perez got two rounds in that one.
Something about Perez reminded me of Diego Sanchez, but at least he wasn't missing as much

1000 LaSalle Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403
Office Location: MSL 220
M.A., University of Minnesota
B.A., College of St. Catherine
Bateson served as director of the law library at William Mitchell College of Law, St. Paul since 1989. Bateson co-authored one of the leading textbooks on legal research, The Process of Legal Research (now in its sixth edition). She has led the transformation of the Ugandan legal system by helping to compile, revise and publish the Laws of the Republic of Uganda (a 28-volume undertaking).
Bateson has held leadership and service roles with the American Bar Association, the Association of American Law Schools, the American Association of Law Libraries and the Minnesota Association of Law Libraries.

|Lawyering Skills II
|Description of course 625 :
|This course will refine students' legal problem-solving skills using legal analysis, legal research, and legal writing strategies and will introduce students to additional lawyering skills. Students will advance from objective to persuasive legal writing projects set in an advocacy context and will draft typical litigation documents, such as plead- ings, pre-trial motions, and trial briefs. Students will consider various dynamics of the lawyer/client relationship, conduct a client interview, and prepare a client opinion letter. Finally, the course will explore alternative methods of dispute resolution.
|Supervised Resrch & Writing
|Description of course 950 :
|Under the supervision of a faculty member, a student may receive up to two hours of course credit for researching and writing a substantial paper on a topic of the student's own choosing. The student must receive the instructor's per- mission to enroll in this course and must meet periodically with the instructor for discussion, review and evaluation. Each faculty member may supervise the research of no more than five students each semester.
The most important work I've done in the last 10 years is to complete the codification of the laws of Uganda. Working with a Ugandan colleague, I identified and found copies of existing Ugandan laws and created the first up-to-date set of Ugandan statutes and statutory instruments since 1964. I've also completed two revisions of my co-authored textbook, The Process of Legal Research, one of the standard legal research textbooks since it first was published in 1986.
Upcoming: I'm working on a new edition of my co-authored textbook this summer to address legal research literacy in the second decade of the 21st century. I'll also be writing a piece on focused, cost-effective law library collection development strategies.

The 2010 NFL Combine invitations have been handed out. When over 200 players are invited, they're never going to miss any big names. But, as always, a few names do appear to be missing from the list. Here's a few snubs that caught my eye:
Freddie Barnes – WR – Bowling Green
Easily the worst of the snubs. He doesn't have impressive measurables, but the guy can play. He'll be a 4th or 5th round pick.
Bill Stull – QB – Pittsburgh
After a truly awful junior year Stull rebounded and was arguably the best quarterback in the Big East last season. He deserves a serious look in the late rounds.
Jonathan Crompton – QB – Tennessee
Like Stull, Crompton came out of nowhere and was impressive late in the season. He has the size and arm strength, so if it really did click for him this past season he's a legitimate prospect.
Matt Nichols – QB – Eastern Washington
I always like to see FCS players get invited to the combine because its their chance to shine in front of a large audience. We already know what to expect from the big school guys. He has the size, and put up great numbers (33 TD, 6 Int) this season.
LaMarcus Coker – RB – Hampton
Coker was kicked out of Tennessee for failing multiple drug tests, but looked good during his time at Hampton. His athleticism, plus his experience on special teams could land him a spot in the late rounds.
Jeffrey Fitzgerald – DE – Kansas State
Fitzgerald isn't a great athlete, but he has elite size and strength for the position. He may be a candidate to switch inside to defensive tackle. Could also play end in a 3-4.
Deji Karim – RB – Southern Illinois
Only 5'9″, but has good speed and is well built. Would have benefited from showing off his strength in person and dispelling the belief that he's too small.
Danny Batten – DE – South Dakota State
Highly productive FCS player that should be a mid-to-late round selection. He has the athleticism to play linebacker in a 3-4 system.

Outdoor - Carabiners
Carabiners; even the word is cool—what used to be little known climbing accessories are now a trend. The simple truth is they make key chains easy to find. When your employees or clients find their keys easier, they are more effective and productive. Put your brand and allow that strength to carry your message. Carabiner key chains easily hook securely to a messenger bag, briefcase strap, golf bag, belt loop, hook by the door or on another key chain. They make pulling the car key off the house keys at the valet a simple and safe task. You'll want to buy them in all colors so your customers keep coming back for more and remind them to buy more of your product. Your logo easily fits on the flat side of the long end and they'll always think of you!
Finding the perfect promotional item can be overwhelming. We have creative experts that are eager to help. Pick up the phone and dial 1-888-788-0101. We look forward to building on your ideas!

Are the videos gonna be able to go fullscreen? They don't on YouTube in html5, so I stick with flash.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 06:59
Posted 19 January 2013 - 08:02
Here's my 2 cents.
The video site market is overcrowded. It's practically impossible to take on giants like YouTube and Dailiymotion, if You are planing something like those sites you need to come up with some really unique and new design that hasn't been done yet. You can't just take the site and put videos in a column in the first page like most sites are doing, it's a real turn-off for people as they will think "oh another clone". I'm not sure how you should design it but think of something new how to start.
Posted 20 January 2013 - 02:03
Since September 2012, I've been brainstorming and developing a new media player for HTML5. Now, I've decided to take that media player that's still in development and use it to birth a whole new HTML5 Video service like YouTube, Dailymotion, and some others that are now moving from Flash to HTML5. This will be a YeoWorks project. A programming friend of mine is now aboard on the project and we will be working hard to get it out the door as soon as we can. The service will also be ad-free on videos. No need to watch a 30 second ad before a 10 second video anymore.
My question is very simple. What do you want in your VIDEO service?

Dear UUSD Community:
In the truest spirit of teamwork, our entire school community came together last year and we have demonstrated what can be accomplished through perseverance. I am committed to continuing our positive momentum toward increased student achievement at all schools and grade levels district-wide. We want our students to be engaged in a sequence of courses that challenges them to achieve their greatest potential so they are well prepared for life beyond high school.
We are very proud of our UHS Class of 2014. We produced graduates who are now attending Harvard, Stanford, the Claremont Colleges, several UC schools, and many other four-year colleges and universities.
With a new funding model and a balanced budget, we have the great fortune of reducing class sizes in grades K-3. As a result, we have hired several new teachers this summer. In addition, we will implement a dedicated Transitional Kindergarten program at five elementary sites this year.
One of our major areas of focus moving forward will be to increase the number of students who meet the requirements upon graduation to enter four-year colleges. Our junior high schools will implement an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program this year that will create a seamless transition to the AVID program already implemented at Upland High School and help prepare all students for college and other postsecondary education opportunities.
At Upland High School, Building N (Industrial Arts) is in the final stages of renovation and a "grand opening" will be revealed soon.
I am proud to be a member of the Upland community and I am determined to maximize the potential of each and every student in our school district.
We have what it takes to become the highest achieving school district in this County and in the surrounding region. Let's do this! We are UPLAND!
Every single student…Every single day
Nancy Kelly, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Taylor Knox 'School Of Hard Knox' Training Camp
Last week at Ponto jetty in Carlsbad, CA., World Tour veteran and Carlsbad resident Taylor Knox put on a power surfing clinic for kids from two local high school surf teams. Despite his nickname, Bonehead, nobody is more qualified in passing along knowledge in the art of power surfing than Mr. Knox—he basically built a career using the rail of his surfboard as opposed to flying through the air.
The event was organized by Dragon and attended by members of the surf teams from San Dieguito Academy and Carlsbad High (Taylor's alma mater). "I really enjoy helping the kids out whenever I can," said Knox. "I grew up idolizing guys like Tom Curren and Mark Occhilupo and I can't wait to impart some of their technique to the kids."
With full rail turns in mind, Taylor and his buddy/trainer Paul Hinnecker got the kids lined up on the beach (no easy task) and straight into a stretching routine that was meant to loosen up muscles and prep them for power surfing. Kids being kids, there were some sophomoric laughs when they were instructed to "clinch your butt muscles," but they were pretty into it and followed the lead set forth by Hinnecker and T. Knox.
After body positioning pointers from Taylor, the kids were warmed up and ready to rip the waist high Ponto peaks. "Learn the fundamentals. Those things on the side of your board are rails—use them!" yelled coach Knox as the kids paddled out in groups of ten. "No airs!" he added, "you can teach me those later!"
As the kids tore up the surf, Taylor took notes on each surfer and passed them along to the respective coaches from each team. "I wouldn't be standing here today if it weren't for all this," said Taylor referring to the stretching and fitness routine he put the kids through.
As you can see from the photos and video above, the kids did their best to put Taylor's words to use. And while there was the occasional air (hence the whistle in the video), thanks to Taylor Knox, there's a new crop of kids coming out of SoCal who are going to be throwing chunks and burying rails instead of doing chop hops and "credit card" airs. Well done Coach Knox!

AIM 2013 will be all-different. We'll return to the roots of much of the audience and focus on the creative side of marketing. We will assemble expert presenters who can present the best in thinking about design, creative presentation, media and ethnography to attract, retain and interact with rental residents and prospects.
The theme of the 2013 conference will revolve around design and the "soft" or non-quantitative arts of marketing. We'll get back to basics and look at how to harness aesthetics and creativity in pursuit of a winning presentation that attracts customers. We'll look at design topics from a web perspective and with the benefit of all of the quantitative analytics that have been developed for online marketing over the past decade.
Who Comes?
The conference is oriented towards four primary types of apartment industry executives:
AIM is open exclusively to employees of firms that own and manage apartments, student housing, senior housing and our sponsors.

Ireland is home to 28 species of land mammal, over 400 species of birds, more than 4,000 plant species and over 12,000 species of insect. If we want all of this to survive, we must ensure that there are enough suitable areas for all these species to flourish.
Find a Protected Site
Recent economic success in Ireland has placed strains never seen before on our environment. At the same time, farmers who own the land where much of our wildlife resides are themselves facing an uncertain and difficult future. As agriculture changes, conditions for much of our wildlife will also change. While technological advances provide new environmental opportunities, for example, windfarms provide great possibilities for green energy but these also cost in disturbance in hitherto isolated and untouched mountain areas.
Conserving species in their natural habitats requires a strategic approach to succeed. One of these is to ensure the adequate conservation of habitats where many of our plants and animals live. Rare and fragile species such as the corncrake and the blue cornflower were found all over the country 50 years ago but now have almost disappeared, the demise of these species is linked to change in agricultural practices. To succeed, in conserving our native species we need the support of landowners and people who use or visit the land.
Ireland aims to conserve habitats and species, through designation of conservation areas. This is required of us under European law and our own national laws. The National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) is responsible for the designation of conservation sites in Ireland. The NPWS works with farmers, other landowners and users and national and local authorities, trying to achieve the best balance between farming and land-use on the one hand, and requirements for conserving nature in these selected areas, on the other.

We had our first night of Heroic Will tonight.
Got the boss to 85% once. Didnt get past 90 after that.
We are using a strat where we kill the first 2 rages and their sparks, then cc the 2nd wave, wait for the 3rd and then burst them down all at the same time with stun and what not to make the soaking from the Ret pally/Hunter/Symbiosis Druid easy. We have me (resto Druid) soaking the Strength Sparks with displacer beast and a mage blinking the curage sparks.
Our problem is the rages dont die at the same time. No matter how many times i repeat myself my raid is not able to understand that they need to go down evenly to help soaking. Well they dont listen and just dps the one target until its dead and the last 1 just kinda gets away and kills someone.
I need help because i dont know what to do as someone new to raid leading.
Our comp was
-Prot Pally
-Prot Warrior
-Ele Shaman
-Ele Shaman
-Ret Pally
-Survival Hunter
-Frost Mage
-Frost DK
-Disc Priest
-Resto Druid
The resto druid (me) was symbiosis-ing the the hunter for deterrence to help with soaking as we have a bad comp for it. The only other player we had available was a WW monk. (not sure if that would help or not)
I just need help on what to do with my comp.

I don't know what I did but I also got the tiles showing the weather too.
How do you get the weather tile to display the weather in the Metro desktop like in the picture? The only way I can get the weather to show is click on the tile and it takes me to the a full screen.
I would like to have the weather showing in the tile always on the Metro.
However, although I am in Hong Kong, it just shows the weather in Anaheim, I've check thoroughly that the location and time zones etc were correctly set.

Small-block Chevys have come a long way since their introduction back in the mid '50s. They have grown in displacement, technology, reliability, and (most importantly) power production. The modern LS2 is a worthy successor to the original Mouse motor. Despite the impressive efficiency and all-aluminum construction offered by the modern Mouse (to say nothing of the 505-hp offered by the factory LS7), we here at Super Chevy have not abandoned our 23-degree roots.
Sure, the modern Mouse is lightweight, powerful, and efficient, but let's not forget where we came from, or the fact that the original small-block can be powerful. With millions of small-blocks still in existence, it will be some time before the LS-series motors replace the original as the powerplant of choice for Chevy enthusiasts. Given the dedicated following, it is not likely that we will ever see the demise of the small-block, at least not until current reserves of fossil fuels dry up.
Before Chevy introduced the current LS1 architecture, it offered an intermediate update to the original Mouse motor in the form of the LT1 (and more powerful LT4). Prior to that, the final configuration was code named L98. Fans of Tuned Port Injection will remember that the final small-block came equipped with a modern direct-port fuel injection. While the earlier Cross-Fire (and TBI) injection introduced fans to the merits of electronic fuel injection, it was TPI that launched the modern EFI performance era back in '85. Unlike previous carburetors (including the computer-controlled varieties), the TPI system offered precise metering of the fuel under all operating conditions. This was especially important to help meet the ever-tightening emissions laws. Fuel efficiency and emissions were optimized by balancing fuel delivery to each individual cylinder. Unlike carbureted, TBI, and even the Cross-Fire EFI systems, TPI provided fuel injectors for each port, thereby balancing power production (and fuel usage) in each cylinder. Even fuel delivery is difficult (if not impossible) in a typical carbureted (or TBI) application, so the air/fuel is tuned to the leanest cylinder. Unfortunately, this also means other cylinders run rich. This cylinder imbalance decreases power while increasing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
In addition to the introduction of individual port injection, the TPI systems also provided a unique induction system. Designed to flow air (the injectors are positioned at the base of the intake to flow fuel only into the head port), the TPI systems incorporated tuned runner lengths to optimize power production at the lower rev ranges. With long, small-diameter intake ports, the TPI system enhanced low- and mid-range torque production.
To illustrate this point, torque production from a typical L98 Vette motor exceeded horsepower production by roughly 100 lbs-ft. Rated at 250 hp, the TPI system helped the 350 pump out an amazing 350 lbs-ft of torque. Naturally this over abundance of mid-range torque came with a penalty. The same runners in the TPI system that were designed to enhance power production below 5000 rpm, lost efficiency rapidly thereafter. TPI motors were all about instant gratification. There was never any waiting to come on the cam, just plenty of torque to get things going in a hurry. Unfortunately, the long runner lengths quickly put an end to the party.
A stock Tuned Port motor offers impressive looks and torque production. But who wouldn't like some more power from their L98? More power is what it's all about. While it is possible to turbo or supercharge an L98 (anyone remember the Callaway Corvettes?), we decided to travel the normally aspirated route for this exercise. For this exercise, not only will the L98 retain its TPI setup, we even hoped to conceal most of our mods, thus officially taking our modified TPI into Stealth Mode.
Given the constraints of the build up, we decided that the power gains would take a three-fold approach. The three methods of improving the power output of the 350 cubic-inch L98 would include displacement, compression, and breathing. Before tackling any of the three, we needed to run an L98 test engine to illustrate what to expect from a healthy TPI small-block. What we thought was a stock L98 pulled from an unsuspecting Corvette turned out to have a mild Comp cam. Sometime in its life the owner replaced the factory hydraulic roller cam with a 270HR Magnum cam from Comp Cams. The single-pattern Magnum profile offered .500 lift, 215 degrees of duration, and a 110-degree lobe separation angle. Given our accelerated dyno schedule, we didn't have time to replace the cam with a stock version. Thus our L98 was run with the cam, a set of Hooker long-tube (1 5/8-inch) headers, and the FAST XFI engine management system.
