You scored 51% Style, 52% Climate, and 41% Culture!
You love the fast pace of city life, but it's a little surprising that you're not as cultured as someone who loves the city so much would be. You love shopping and being somewhere that never sleeps. You don't prefer to be stuck in major crowds and you like to be surrounded more by people who think like you. You could probably stand to open your mind a little more to all of the experiences that are out there...you would probably gain a lot of admirers because of your sense of style and fun...just try keep the snootiness down a bit, k? Just kidding, maybe. All in all, Philly is a lovely city in my opinion. And the weather's not terrible either.

Ajax midfielder Evander Sno has left hospital and is set to return to the training pitch next week.Ajax midfielder Evander Sno has left hospital on Wednesday afternoon and is expected to return to the training pitch next week. The former Celtic star was taken to the hospital on September 13 after suffering a heart attack in a match with the reserves.
The 23-year-old underwent several investigations in the past couple of days to find the cause of his heart problems. No direct cause for the heart attack could be found though.
Therefore, an internal cardiac defibrillator has been put inside Sno's body as a precautionary measure. The device continuously monitors the heart rhythm in order to detect and correct overly rapid arrhythmias.
A report on the official Ajax website reads that Sno is expected to return to the training pitch somewhere next week. He will start with a number of individual training sessions before resuming regular training action.

Sandy Staged to push Global Warming Fraud - Obama's unprecedented response is the clue.
Poster Handle
Post Content
I'm a little confused. Why do you think the world likes Obama? It's generally known that he's been a disaster for this country, and that effect is felt around the world. He has no compunction about killing little children in Afghanistan for no reason, his CIA is fomenting destruction in the Middle East, he's for GMOs, for banksters robbing us blind, and is not a big proponent of the environment. Only the seriously, willfully blind think he's been anything but a tragic mistake.
Also, because you're right about so many things, I was wondering what you're basing your info on?
Anonymous Coward 26912208
The world sees Obama as doing something about the world problems which they feel Bush created. They perceive that perhaps its slow progress but are in no doubt that he is acting in the world's best interests. The superstar image painted of him by the MSM hasn't worn off and since most people are pre-occupied with day to day survival, dancing with the Stars etc., that image burned into their memories in 2008 is what still remains. And since he hasn't had any scandals so far....at least none spoken of on MSM TV, then he is a clean guy. If there are any changes to this normal, if there is any reason he isnt allowed to continue as president, the sheep will all wake up! The PTB don't want that!
Most of the talk about Benghazi and 9/11 we discuss here are deemed conspiracy theorist talk and as such most people have no idea as to what is happening in reality.
Obama's frequent media appearances wasn't also for no reason. It was all PR stunt by the MSM so the world is just used to seeing this guy and will accept seeing Obama as a 2nd or even 3rd term president if a good enough reason could be made to this effect. If they stop seeing him on TV, the PTB's spell breaks and they have to cast another spell on the world which they will find very hard to do with Romney. It is also difficult because your mind will flip and you will question what is going on.
The best thing they can however do is to continue the spell and mind control with Obama. People will sense there is something wrong but wont be able to place their finger on it.
Americans might not like Obama but a huge number of them are also under this spell working on the world. Most unaffected by the economic problems but see what is going on might still vote for him. They aren't really enthusiastic about the election as they aren't sure but will still accept him back in power if a good enough excuse can be made by the PTB.
The PTB cant decide on a winner in this election. They will have to create something that will ease Obama into power and people will be given another reason to see him in power. Not necessarily because of the fact that he does something to help their circumstances. Thats what I feel.

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to list physical drives.
How can I use Windows PowerShell to get a list of physical drives?
Use Get-WMIObject, query win32_logicaldisk, and filter with the DriveType property:
GET-WMIOBJECT –query "SELECT * from win32_logicaldisk where DriveType = '3'"
To check the drives on a remote computer, add the –ComputerName parameter. For example, to list all physical drives and their free space on a machine called "ContosoWS1":
GET-WMIOBJECT –query "SELECT * from win32_logicaldisk where DriveType = '3'" –computername "ContosoWS1"
For me, on Windows 8 Enterprise, i don't need the ' around the drivetype.
These commandlets are OK for me:
GET-WMIOBJECT –query "SELECT * from win32_logicaldisk where DriveType = 3"
GET-WMIOBJECT –query "SELECT * from win32_logicaldisk where DriveType = 3"
–computername "ContosoWS1"
Actually it works that way in Windows 7 as well. It's just a force of habit I have when working with WMI queries to isolate the results in the query.
Love that you're rocking it with PowerShell!
Strictly speaking, this command doesn't list physical drives at all. It lists logical drives located on whatever Windows considers to be a "Local Disk" (which, oddly enough, includes some external USB drives, even though you might think those should be categorized as Removable).
There can be many Win32_LogicalDisk objects associated with a single physical disk, if you have multiple partitions or volumes on that disk.
Quote are always soptional aroung numeric and Booleans.
Strings always require quotes. This is also true in almost all programming systems including VBScript and PowerShell.
You are correct in that it accesses the logical drive letters. If you wish to access the PhysicalDisks leverage the win32_diskdrive within WMI. The advantage I find with LogicalDisk is the ability to get the drive letter.
Good tip on working with WMI Queries :)
Caution: the snippet contains "smart" quotes so can't be literally copy-pasted. You need to edit the apos and quot chars after ^C ^V
I am trying to get a list which contains drives of multiple servers and I wrote a script. But it looks like it is not taking multiple computers.
Script is below
get-WmiObject win32_logicaldisk -ComputerName (get-content d:\scripts\sea.txt) | Format-table -Property @{name='Free space(in GB)'; e={$_.Freespace/1GB}; align='right'; formatstring='N2'}, @{name='Total Size (in GB)'; e={$_.size/1GB}; align='right'; formatstring='N2'} -autosize >>D:\Scripts\Test.csv
Please suggest alternatives.
Hi, I hope you can help. I need a good way to show the mapping between a iscsi lun to diskIf I run Get-iSCSISession | Get-Disk | where {$_.operationalstatus -eq "online"} | Ft -autosize -wrap, I can see the disk number but the name isn't detailed.Number Friendly Name OperationalStatus Total Size Partition Style15 LEFTHAND iSCSIDisk Multi-Path Disk Device Online 123 GB MBRI need the "TargetNodeAddress : iqn.2003-10.com.lefthandnetworks:avalonprod:71724:on-dc01-av" with the Lun or disk IDAny help is awesome!
I can not recollect ever having working code from the scripting guys
@random IT guy: Totally agree. The example given should have been:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk | Where { $_.DriveType -eq 3 }
This is one of the preferred ways of filtering with Get-WMIObject using -Query:
Get-WMIObject -Query "Select * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE DriveType=3"
You could also use -Filter as well if desired:
Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_logicaldisk -Filter "DriveType='3'"
This applies the filter on the computer that it is being run against prior to sending the data back to PowerShell rather than bringing everything back to then be filtered by PowerShell.
Try both of these out to see the difference between filtering using a parameter and using Where-Object:
#Using the Query Parameter to filter:
Get-WMIObject -Query "Select * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE DriveType=3" | Where {
Write-Verbose $_ -Verbose
#Piping data into Where-Object to filter:
Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_logicaldisk | Where {
Write-Verbose $_ -Verbose
$_.DriveType -eq 3

The Buffalo Sabres picked up a much-needed two points their last time out thanks to another big game from Thomas Vanek. The New York Islanders, meanwhile, are counting on a couple of fresh faces to help get them back on track. The Sabres try to build on their latest result Saturday night when they visit the slumping Islanders, who hope both Lubomir Visnovsky and Josh Bailey can make their season debuts. Buffalo (4-6-1) entered Thursday mired in a 1-6-1 skid before escaping with a 5-4 shootout win over Montreal. Vanek continued his impressive play with a pair of third-period goals - the second coming with two seconds left in regulation. He leads the NHL with 10 goals and 21 points. "It's great," said Vanek, who also scored in the shootout. "It means we get to not go home all frustrated tonight. Enjoy the win. Probably going to sleep better. Wake up tomorrow and go for the next one." Sitting at the bottom of the Northeast Division, Buffalo still has plenty of room for improvement...

Health is a tool that allows you to do the things you really want to do. It has to be self-evident. I let my health – physical as well as mental – work for me, not the other way round. No strict rules, but result-oriented guidelines within which I can do my thing. Experience is the best teacher. Paired with knowledge it forms a golden combination. That is what I have worked on for the last 10 years in terms of food, exercise and personal development.
I travel around the globe, being a partner in health. I support people in making sure their body and mind are functioning optimally, so they can achieve what they really want in life.

One of 10 Israeli gymnasts at the Olympics, Valeria Maksyuta enters the London Games
under little pressure. The 24-year-old made aliya from the Ukraine five years
ago after an eye-catching performance in the 2005 Maccabiah.Maksyuta made
her breakthrough in 2011 and took a big step towards London with her showing in
the All-Around competition in the Olympic Test Event at the O2 Arena in January,
before taking medals in the vault and balance beam finals as
well.Maksyuta still had to meet the Olympic Committee of Israel's
criteria to book her place at the Olympics and did so by ending the All- Around
final at the European Championships in ninth place, while also finishing the
vault final in an impressive fourth position."Since the age of 14 I
understood that gymnastics is my future," Maksyuta said after qualifying for
London 2012."The dream has always been to reach the Olympics and now
that I have realized that I have no intention of stopping."I'm not going
to London for fun. I'm going with the clear goal of winning a medal in the
vault."A podium finish will likely be out of Maksyuta's reach, but
progress to the vault final is certainly within her capabilities, as is
qualification for the 24- gymnast All-Around final.

Working under threat: fear and nurse-patient interactions in a forensic psychiatric setting.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to present the results of a study conducted in a Canadian medium-security forensic psychiatric facility. The primary objective of this qualitative research was to describe and comprehend how fear influences nurse-patient interactions in a forensic psychiatric setting. Eighteen semistructured interviews with nurses were used as the primary source of data for analysis. In brief, the results from this research indicate, as other researchers have demonstrated, that within this highly regimented context, nurses are socialized to incorporate representations of the patients as being potentially dangerous, and, as a result, distance themselves from idealistic conceptions of care. Moreover, the research results emphasize the implication of fear in nurse-patient interactions and particularly how fear reinforces nurses' need to create a safe environment in order to practice. A constant negotiation between space, "at risk" bodies and security takes place where nurses are forced to scrutinize their actions in order to avoid becoming victims of violence. In parallel, participants also described how being able to self-identify with patients enabled therapeutic interventions to take place. However, exposure to the patient's criminal history fostered negative reactions on the nurses' part, which impede nursing work.
- SourceAvailable from: Béatrice Marianne Ewalds-Kvist[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study explored the self-rated competence of 52 Swedish psychiatric nurses in three clinical environments: forensic psychiatry, general psychiatric inpatient care, and clinical non-residential psychiatric care. A questionnaire wtih 56 statements from nine areas of expertise was completed. Forensic nurses were more skilled in safety and quality and in dealing with violence and conflicts. Non-specialist nurses appreciated their skills more so than specialist nurses in health promotion and illness prevention and conduct, information, and education. Women were inclined to invite patients' relatives for education and information. Men attended to a patients' spiritual needs; they also coped with violence and managed conflicts.Issues in Mental Health Nursing 07/2012; 33(7):469-79. DOI:10.3109/01612840.2012.663460
Article: To be Strategically Struggling against Resignation: The Lived Experience of Being Cared for in Forensic Psychiatric Care.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To be referred to care in forensic psychiatric services can be seen as one of the most comprehensive encroachments society can impose upon a person's life, as it entails a limitation of the individual's freedom with no time limit. This study focuses upon patients' experiences of their life situation in forensic psychiatric wards. Using a Reflective Lifeworld Research approach founded in phenomenology, we analysed 11 qualitative interviews with patients cared for on a maximum security unit in a Swedish forensic psychiatric service. Results show how forensic psychiatric care can be non-caring with only moments of good care, from the patient's perspective. By using different strategies, the patients attempt to adapt to the demands of the caregivers in order to gain privileges. At the same time the patients are lacking meaningful and close relationships and long to get away from the system of forensic care. Being cared for entails struggling against an approaching overwhelming sense of resignation.Issues in Mental Health Nursing 11/2012; 33(11):743-51. DOI:10.3109/01612840.2012.704623

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2011 Ford Ranger Super Cab
By KBB.com Editors
The 2009 Ford Ranger finds itself surrounded by a number of newer and larger competitors, making it necessary for Ford to keep its compact truck competitive by offering numerous upgrades, fresh styling and rock-bottom pricing. In terms of size, only the Chevrolet Colorado, its sibling twins, the Isuzu i-Series and GMC Canyon and the Toyota Tacoma offer a regular-cab configuration, an appealing feature for those looking for a bare-bones truck. The Ranger SuperCab models feature two small rear doors, but no crew-cab model challenges similar vehicles from Dodge, Nissan and Toyota. With no V8 option under the hood, the Ranger also falls behind the class leaders in horsepower and towing capability.
If you need a compact pickup that is inexpensive to own and operate, the 2009 Ford Ranger is one of the best. Available in everything from base two-wheel drive to highly capable off-roader, the Ranger is one tough truck.
If you need a pickup to haul heavy loads or transport four people on a regular basis, you may want to look at a midsize V8-powered pickup.
SIRIUS XM Radio is made standard on the FX4 and Sport trims, and a Class III trailer hitch is added to all 4.0-liter V6 series.
Driving Impressions The 2009 Ford Ranger's handling and road manners have seen improvement through a series of suspension changes that include stiffer bushings, springs and shocks. As a result, the Ranger's rear...end does not bounce around as much as it used to and the steering response remains firm. To keep the base truck affordable, Ford equips it with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a five-speed manual transmission. This engine exhibits good acceleration so long as the Ranger is not weighted down with a heavy load. For those not so concerned with fuel economy, the 4.0-liter V6 is the engine of choice. Although not the most powerful in its class, the 4.0-liter engine provides the Ranger with brisk acceleration and a 6,000-pound tow rating when equipped with the 3.55:1 rear axle and automatic transmission.
Pioneer Sound System
The 290-watt Pioneer sound system blows away all other stock systems.
Updated Interior
The Ranger's updated interior and steering wheel give an upscale look to the compact pickup.
The Ranger has gotten a bit roomier than in generations past, with front seats that have deeply sculpted backs and new fabric choices. Legroom is not as generous as in some competitors, but SuperCab models do provide plenty of space behind the seats for luggage or groceries. As for backseat passenger room, the flip-down jump seats make for cramped accommodations and are best used for shorter trips. The Ranger features a number of audio upgrades, including a single CD player that can read MP3-formatted discs and an auxiliary audio input jack.Exterior
The familiar Ranger exterior carries over after a slight freshening last year, with a bold grille, new colors and two attractive wheel choices. A raised "power dome" hood and an aggressive front valence help keep the aging design current. The Regular Cab models feature six- and seven-foot beds, while the extended SuperCab models come with a longer wheelbase and a six-foot bed. SuperCab models also offer rear-hinged half doors, which allow easier access to the cab area.
The Ranger is equipped with a 2.3-liter engine, a five-speed manual transmission, anti-lock brakes (ABS), a tire pressure monitoring system, two front cup holders, dual side mirrors, AM/FM stereo, 60/40 vinyl split-bench seat, power steering, tachometer and 15-inch steel wheels.
Trim levels for the Ranger include XL, XLT, Sport and FX4 Off-Road. You can order your Ranger with shift-on-the-fly electronic four-wheel drive, five-speed automatic transmission, power windows, power locks, sliding rear window, cruise control, 290-watt Pioneer audio system, 3.0-liter V6 engine (Regular Cab), 4.0-liter V6 (SuperCab), limited-slip rear differential, fog lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels and leather seats. The FX4 Off-Road Package adds gas shocks, front and rear skid plates, larger all-terrain tires and sport bucket seats.
The base 2.3-liter engine is fine for those who use their trucks to get around town and pull light-duty chores. For those who do serious off-roading, towing or just like the feel of a V6, Ford offers a 4.0-liter V6 that produces 207 horsepower and 238 pound-feet of torque. If power trumps fuel economy, we highly encourage you to get the 4.0-liter, which will add to the price of most trims.

"I have owned this truck since 2002 when it had 19 miles on it. I have always ran full synthetic in the engine until 150K, when I went to synthetic mix. This truck has never left me stranded. I have replaced: Water Pump, Alternator,and 4x4 transfer case motor. Upgrades include: 165 degree Temp regulator, K&N Filter in standard airbox, 2.5" cat-back exhaust with flowmaster, Enhasnced coimputer mapping for torque, shift points and shift duration (set for HARD shift), 3 inch bodylift, 265/75/16 off road tires, Rancho-9000 adjustable shocks, 4.56 gears front and rear. I have pulled more trucks, cars, and a school bus out of ditches with this truck. It seems that no task is too great. It is much easier to navigate on dirt/sand/muddy trails that my 2000 F-150 4x4, and with a similar set up. I now have 201,000 miles, and when this engine time is through, I will get another Engine/trans/ECG and replace it and start again. I LOVE MY TRUCK."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 3
"had truck for just about a year, put close to 15000 miles on it, overall, not really impressed by vehicle at all, no problems, just basically unremarkable driving experience, stiff bouncy ride and about 16-18 mpg . i bought ranger because of great reliability record and truck has been that, just can't beat the ride of full size trucks, but still very peppy and agile, can sorta see why they lost favor with public."

The third and final summer concert organised by the Kaikoura Musicians Collective is just around the corner and with it comes a celebration of conservation efforts.
A huge day is planned for Waitangi Day with events at South Bay Domain to entertain the whole family.
The talents of the musicians collective will be heard, as well as headlining act The People's Coalition of Aotearoa, a Wellington group who will be bringing typical Kiwi sounds, from rock to reggae, hip hop to dubstep, jazz to rap.
There will also be range of other activities including Department of Conservation Seaweek celebrations, Children's Day and violence-free network Whire Kawe's family-orientated conservation day.
Children's activities including three-legged races, sack races, tug of war and face-painting will be offered every half hour. There will be a sausage sizzle, food and other stalls.
There will also be plenty of free activities and information stalls including a marine aquarium display, huttons shearwater stall and information on Kaikoura's historic whaling cottage Fyffe House and coastal guardian group Te Korowai o Te Tai o Marokura.
Families are invited to come and relax for the afternoon with a picnic, listen to the great musical variety and join in the fun.
Whire Kawe co-ordinator and member of the musicians collective Lesa B'do said the idea was to combine Children's Day with DOC celebrations.
"We want to celebrate children and family by making an event that is accessible for all, with music as the platform for what will be the sign off of the summer set gigs."
DOC community liaison officer Brett Cowan said the celebration of conservation was timely, given the increased local awareness of deep sea oil exploration.
"Waitangi Day is a celebration of diversity, not only of New Zealanders to each other but also to the environment around us. It is about a connectedness to the ancient traditional values of looking after Mother Earth.
"These are not just Maori but universal values. This is a good opportunity to revisit our responsibility to coastal protection."
The event kicks off at 1pm on Wednesday February 6, South Bay Domain. Free transport will be available from the Kaikoura i-SITE, starting from 12.30. Entry to the event is free, and there will be koha boxes to support the musicians' collective.

Product description
The Goddess is the most potent and persistent feature in the archaeological records of the ancient world. She was a symbol of the unity of life in nature, and the personification of all that was sacred and mysterious on Earth. Here, in this pioneering and provocative volume, Marija Gimbutas resurrects the world of Goddess-worshipping, earth-centred cultures, bringing ancient matriarchal society vividly to life. She interweaves comparative mythology, early historical sources, linguistics, ethnography and folklore to demonstrate conclusively that Goddess-worship is at the root of Western civilization. Illustrated with nearly 2000 symbolic artifacts - sculptures, figurines, temple models, frescos, vases, sacrificial containers - Gimbutas' magnum opus is at once a 'pictorial script' of the prehistoric Goddess religion and an authoritative work that takes these ancient cultures from the realm of speculation into that of documented fact.

Author information
Marija Gimbutas was professor of European archaeology at UCLA. She wrote over twenty books, including Goddesses and Gods of Old Europe.
Review quote
"'Gimbutas has not only prepared a fundamental glossary of pictorial keys to the mythology of the otherwise undocumented era of European prehistory, but has established the main themes of a religion in veneration both of the universe as a living body of Goddess-Mother Creatrix and of all the living things within it as partaking in her divinity' - from the foreword by Joseph Campbell"

I live in Mass and the only dirt the truck would see is the one my wife's parents live on in Brattleboro Vt. The truck gets plenty of mileage and is currently at just under 50k.
The rear emblem was just masked carefully with fine lines tape and then cleared over.
The stripes are pretty much coolwater blue metallic from the 09's that has the metallic in it. It's pretty close to the wheels but are slightly different. I'm considering changing them to the proper plasti dip blue and even going matte with them.
I would only have done blue on a mopar as I think it's somewhere in it's DNA to have bold loud colors, and the reaction is pretty good. Kids at school where I work think it's the balls, and it starts conversations at the car show which is always more fun than not. The only two outspoken critics so far were the old lady next door and the bitchy teacher I work with so I figure I'm doing something right.
I did like the black rims myself but everyone around here and their mother has black wheels now so this makes it different which is why I'm going with blue this year.
I also like how when they were chrome too but I'm more of the sporty aggressive look vs. flashy.
I need to get around to getting a rolling photo shot with my truck.

The majority of all inclusives will be found in Mexico, Jamaica and the DR.
Look at the Ibersotars, El Dorados, Royal Hideaway, Ellexance and Secrets resorts in Mexcio.
Look at Couples, Sandals, Iberostar, the Jewell, and Secrets in Jamaica.
Look at the Excellance and Majestic in the DR.
Antigua- Blue Waters, Galley Bay, Sandals, Jumby Bay, St. James Club
Barbados - Turtle Beach, Mango Bay, Sugar Cane Club
St. Lucia - Rendezvous, Sandals, Jade Mountain
St. Vincent - Palm Island Resort
Here's a list of AI's in the Caribbean:
Here's a list of AI's in Mexico:
Factor in that September is prime hurricane season, so trip/hurricane insurance is essential. Make sure you get the policy so that you can cancel for any reason and not just if your flight is canceled or hotel is closed. It costs more, but it's worth it.
Report Abuse
High end AIs
Antigua - Hermitage Bay, Carlisle Bay, Curtain Bluff, Blue Waters and Galley Bay.
Barbados - many high end hotels but not all AI, some offer meal plans, eg Sandpiper, Coral Reef Club, Cobblers Cove. Best location is the west coast for calm Caribbean sea.
St Lucia - Jade Mountain, recently renovated Sugar Beach, Anse Chastanet
Grenada - Calabash Hotel, Spice Island Beach

It does seem like September might just be too risky to travel to that area. However, what are people's thoughts on Iberostar Grand Baravo Hotel in DR.
I do not like Jamaica and have done tons in Mexico so looking for something new and different.
Report Abuse
The Iberostars in Mexico and Jamaica get really good reviews. I am not a fan of the DR. I like to be more adventurous on vacation and there really isn't all that much do there.
If you really want to go in September, you might look at Aruba, Curacao, Barbados, St. Lucia, Grenadines and Grenada. More outside of the hurricane belt, but still no real guarentee.
There are not really any good AI's in Curacao and not recommended in Aruba as there are tons of really great dining choices and bars.
If you really want an upscale AI, I would go with Barbados, Grenada or the Grenadines.
Report Abuse
Isn't DR also at risk from hurricanes in September? Haiti is on the same island and it gets hit often.
I've been to the Caribbean almost always in the hurricane season, for the past 25+ years, so far lucky but there will always be a first time.
Aruba, Curacao, Tobago, Barbados are outside the hurricane belt but still feel the effects of a hurricane. St Lucia has got hit in recent years and Grenada was also hit a few years back. However my last visit to Grenada was during September and we had no issues at all, there is no way to foretell. Last year we planned to go to Grand Bahama in October but had to postpone due to hurricanes.

I love good weather when I go to a beach/tropical place. So personally wouldn't do the Caribbean or coastal Mexico in September myself.

You stay classy.
Alrighty- so I'm a down to earth kind of guy and tend to live as drama free as possible. I have two older brothers and a younger sister so family is a big deal to me. I grew up in Michigan and moved here about 5 years ago now. I work a rotating shift so its quite hard to get out and meet new people. I am still a kid at heart (I own Nerf guns and like to have random shoot outs for example) so I would like someone that is similar and is able to let loose and be goofy sometimes. I enjoy most comedy movies including Will Farrell flicks. Having said that, I know when to be mature and act like an adult. I'm a hopeless romantic and a bit old fashioned. Opening doors, random flowers and gifts are things I do. Making people smile is usually always a goal. I have always fallen into the classic "nice guy" territory so if you want someone to treat you poorly I'm not the guy. I am also a very caring person and will do everything I can for those I care about. I am looking for someone who enjoys watching movies both at home and going to them (including drive ins), going out for dinner, cooking together, doing activities outside and in the water. Also a girl who is comfortable to lay around the house in shorts or sweats is awesome! I'm not real big on bars but not totally against them. Well I think that does it for here. Any questions feel free to message!

I enjoy going camping and hiking and pretty much any outdoor activity. Walking on the beach is fun depending on the company. Also people watching can be a great time. I like finding new restaurants/ice cream shops etc to try out.

The Unified Bridge from Rolls-Royce has won the Norwegian Design Council 2015 award for design excellence. The awarding jury said: "In a conservative business with many class regulations, it is a challenging task to develop innovative solutions for user interfaces. This solution appears significantly better than competing solutions, and the quality of the interaction design is high. The user interface is based on modern navigational principles. The work surfaces are layered, which enable navigation on one surface, and with the touchscreen reduces cognitive load for operators."
Rolls-Royce contact
For further information please contact:
It is now fifty years since the first Aquamaster azimuth thruster was delivered, the start of a development that has built in size and scope to become a major contributor to today's Rolls-Royce propulsion product portfolio.
At that point the principle of the azimuth thruster was well known. John Ericsson, the innovator of many technologies in the 19th century, had patented a deck mounted outboard engine, other patents were issued in the US and UK in the 1870s and demonstrated as through hull units on a large scale. In World War II barges were equipped with over-the-stern thrusters with deck mounted engines. But there was not yet a convincing commercial demand. This emerged in the 1970s and has widened ever since.
Aquamaster thrusters began as a diversification for the Hollming shipyard in Rauma, Finland. The yard had originally been established to build vessels as war reparations to the Soviet Union, and was looking for something to even out market fluctuations. This first product was a steerable propeller with a deck-mounted diesel engine, installed on a hopper barge also devised by the yard, and largely made up from tractor and vehicle components. For the first few years production volumes were small , 2-10 units per year in sizes from 100-300hp. The market was there, but the main difficulty was sourcing components. The first exported units went to Germany, then Sweden specified units for propelling rod link ferries.
In England Yorkshire Dry Dock built many small coastal cargo vessels each with two 400hp units. As the expor t market grew, a good name was needed for the product, and it became known as the 'Aquamaster azimuth thruster'. Aquamaster is still a registered trade name within Rolls-Royce. By 1975 thrusters were offered in four sizes from 100 to 800hp and as well as Europe the market had expanded to include the US, Canada and Japan while sales volumes were growing rapidly and marketing companies and agencies were being set up around the world.
It was clear that the market was interested in bigger azimuth htrusters. The problem was in finding durable large bevel gears and other components to handle high powers. Special gears could be prohibitively expensive to buy, and other design constraints might pose a long term maintenance cost. So the R&D problem was to overcome these difficulties, at the same time trying to raise the efficiency of azimuth thrusters above the level of conventional propulsion systems.
A big step came at the beginning of the 1980s with the design of the first unit to be rated at over 1,000hp. This was the Aquamaster 1250. The Finnish oil comapny Neste ordered three tugs equipped with these thrusters and these vessels became a very good reference in the years that followed.
At the other end of the size range the first Aquamaster azimuth thrusters rated at more than 10,000hp were developed in the early 1990s, the initial application being a very demanding one. Ice-strengthened ARC 1 units. Two per ship were supplied to the multipurpose icebreakers Fennica and Nordica, providing both main propulsion and excellent manoeuvring in open water or thick ice. The two vessels are still operating in the same way, providing icebreaking services in the Baltic in winter and acting as offshore support vessels in summer.
The conventional thrusters have also grown in power, and in recent years have proved very attractive for propulsion and positioning of semi-submersible drilling rigs, drilling ships and many other vessel types. The Aquamaster business was restructured and enlarged several times in the years following its birth in the Hollming yard, most significantly when it was merged with the Rauma Repola deck machinery business. This was bought by Vickers plc in 1995 and combined with Swedish Kamewa. From 2000 the thruster and deck machinery product lines have been integrated with products from other origins and further developed to provide today's comprehensive range of Rolls-Royce thrusters.

Rolls-Royce azimuth thruster range
When the 2005 built platform supply vessel Bourbon Topaz docked in the Orskov Yard in Frederikshaven, Denmark during January this year for the overhaul of the four thrusters that propel the vessel, replacement units from the Rolls-Royce Thruster Support Pool were already waiting on the dockside.
On this occasion, due to a delayed start three Rolls-Royce service engineers were present to perform the exchange, but the work would normally be completed with two engineers. The two main propulsion azimuth thrusters, 2,500kW Azipull 120 units with CP propellers, the swing-up TCNS 73 azimuth thruster and the TT2200 tunnel thruster were removed and exchanged with replacement units over an eight day period. The vessel was then returned to operations.
"A conventional well-planned multiple-thruster overhaul at the yard would take around 21 days, but using Thruster Support Pool units really speeded everything up and ensured there were no surprises or delays due to missing or incorrect parts. It was also complete in the agreed time," said Terje Fjelle of Bourbon Offshore Norway.
The removed units were returned to the Rolls-Royce centre for overhaul and testing, and then returned to the Support Pool.
"We now have a broad range of units in the Support Pool, so with appropriate planning we can deliver similar time savings for other shipowners at a fixed price, which helps with budget planning and ensures the time in drydock is minimised," says Geir Oscar Løseth, General Sales Support Manager - Ulsteinvik, Norway.

Great game last night, would have been better if they would have one, but i was thinking the same thing everyone else was, where was nix in the ninth? Of course then we find out he was not available, if that be the case and it's a nagging injury, instead of leaving us short handed, put him on the disabled list and bring up Dorn, he's a left handed bat and he's hitting 295 for the Riverbats right now. Just my opinion, but anyway Go Reds win the next 2 and end this series in 1st place.
