Route guidance worked well, though, with plenty of warning for upcoming turns. We even got a surprise when we headed back into the office after a drive, as the route guidance took us on a better route--skirting the heavy traffic of downtown--than most systems we've used. Besides the slow rendering off the DVD, our main problem with this navigation system is that BMW doesn't use standard terminology for features such as points of interest or choosing to start route guidance. If BMW used plain English in the menus and a hard drive, this system would be much better.
The stereo is an interesting mix, with audio quality so good that we just wanted to stay in the car and listen to music, and a center disc player that can't read MP3 CDs. For music sources, the car gets a single disc player on the stack, Sirius satellite radio, HD radio, and an auxiliary jack in the console. Our car also came with a six-disc changer mounted in the dashboard, just above the glove box. Even though the main disc player couldn't read MP3 CDs, the changer could. However, the changer uses disc cartridges, an old CD player technology that we would really like to see go away. Navigating MP3 CDs and satellite radio showed the same difficulties as we had with address entry. We were also disappointed that there was no default audio screen that showed what track was playing. After digging around, we found the screen for satellite radio, but subsequently we could not find it again. The audio interface was similarly difficult for HD radio. We liked the audio quality of the HD stations we tuned into, but HD stations have multiple channels, and the BMW radio neither gives a means to tune in those extra channels, nor does it show the rich information that the HD stations provide with the music.
As for audio, the BMW 750i uses a Harmon/Kardon Logic7 system, which rates as close to the best we've heard. It produces a well-amplified sound that comes through well in every frequency. The system is too refined for car-shaking bass, but the lows are palpable--we could feel the lows in our chests, while the crystal clear sound of the highs sang in our heads. It reproduces the sounds of individual instruments very clearly, working well with all genres of music. Beyond the typical audio settings, there is also a graphic equalizer in the Logic7 menu.
Another major function of the system, Bluetooth cell phone integration, also works very well. After we paired a phone to the system, it downloaded our phone book, making all our contacts easily available through the iDrive system. There is also a keypad, which pops out of the dashboard. While we like this keypad, it would have been easier, and more integrated, if BMW just included a virtual keypad with the iDrive system. We also frequently used voice command to make calls, if we happened to know the actual number we wanted to dial. The system recognized our vocal commands most of the time. You can also add voice tags for all of your address book entries, but that is a tedious task.
Another feature of the voice command system is a notepad, which lets you record brief notes to yourself and save them in the car. Overall, we were impressed with how well the voice-command system recognized our commands. But we could tell it wasn't developed in conjunction with the iDrive system, as the commands didn't match up to what we saw onscreen.
A nice interior feature is the park distance sensor, which shows up onscreen as a diagram of the car, with sensor areas in front and back. Those areas show obstacles as green, yellow, or red, depending on how close they are to the car. On the more outlandish side, our car also came equipped with BMW's night-vision system, similar to what we had on the Mercedes-Benz S63. With the BMW, the image is displayed on the center LCD, making it more difficult to use while driving.
Under the hood
While every other day a news item comes out about BMW handing over a Hydrogen7 to a celebrity, the 2008 BMW 750i runs on gasoline, that widely available and increasingly expensive liquid made from oil. The 750i model name is also a slight exaggeration, as the car's engine is actually a 4.8-liter V-8, just short of the 5 liters promised in the name. This engine uses BMW's Valvetronic technology, which controls power through valve lift rather than with a throttle, and produces 360 horsepower at 6,300rpm and 360 foot-pounds of torque at 3,400rpm. BMW says the 750i will hit 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, and it's a number we have no reason to doubt as the 750i bolts forward with a good push on the gas pedal.
In fact, besides the lousy gas mileage, we enjoyed driving the 750i all over. It is a very comfortable car on the freeway, maneuverable in the city, and capable over winding mountain roads. The handling is very good, although the steering response could be better--it feels like it was detuned a bit for a wider range of drivers. The car's active stabilization feature limits body roll--as we pushed it through the twisties, the car stayed nice and flat, letting us add speed with each subsequent corner as we found out what the car could handle.
While testing out its handling, we found that the six-speed automatic transmission was slightly better than adequate. Its shifts are nice and smooth, and it includes a Sport mode and a manual gear selection mode. Sport mode downshifted as we took our foot off the gas on the approach to a turn, but not very aggressively. Even on very tight turns, the transmission was more likely to only shift down to third gear, rather than second gear, which we would have chosen. A stock on the steering column, similar to that used by Mercedes-Benz, controls the transmission, with buttons on the front and back of the steering wheel for manual shifting. That's right, buttons instead of paddles. The placement of the buttons makes it difficult to use them for sport driving--we concluded they work best for engine braking. Since there isn't a shifter on the console, the buttons are the only manual option.
While we enjoyed driving the car, watching the average fuel economy on the trip computer made us cringe. We ended up with an average for freeway and city driving of just 15.1 mpg, a number that wanted to drop further every time we drove city streets. The EPA gives it 15 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway--while we can believe the agency's highway number, traffic and stoplights drags down the real average below the EPA city number. The 750i does surprisingly well for emissions, considering its big engine, getting a ULEV II rating from the California Air Resources Board.
In sum
Our 2008 BMW 750i started out with a base price of $76,575, which includes the navigation system and Bluetooth cell phone integration. We bumped up the price with a number of options, including the Cold Weather Package ($700), the Premium Sound Package ($1,800), which included the Logic7 audio system, and the Sports Package ($3,200). We also had keyless start ($1,000), Night Vision ($2,200), HD radio ($350), and Sirius satellite radio ($595). The 750i's grand total comes out to $86,420, a hefty price, but not bad compared with the Mercedes-Benz S550.
As a big sport luxury sedan from BMW, we expect a lot, and in general are not let down. Our cabin tech rating is on the high side, despite flaws such as the slow-rendering maps, the confusing iDrive menus, and the last century cartridge disc changer. An excellent sound system and over-the-top features such as night vision make up for a lot. It also earns a respectable score for its performance tech, which made it such an easy and enjoyable car to drive. We have to dock it points for the horrible mileage and the manual shift mode configuration. One thing to look forward to with a future iteration of the BMW 750i is that it's a likely candidate for BMW's promised in-car internet connection.

Whether you're shopping, banking, making travel arrangements or keeping in touch with friends and family, it's more and more likely you're doing it online. And whether you know it or not, there's always the chance someone is watching you.
Like banks and online retailers, Defense Finance and Accounting Services takes online security very seriously. The pay and identity information within the Web-based myPay pay management site is protected day and night by the best cybersecurity available.
But that's not good enough!
According to DFAS computer security experts, their efforts to keep your information safe can be useless if you don't take measures to keep your important files, usernames, passwords and online activity private. Thieves are using methods to catch you off guard, especially when you feel safe and anonymous.
Perhaps you've used the free WiFi at the local coffee house or grocery store. You find a network with the store's name and jump on. What you may have just done is log on to a counterfeit network owned by thieves. Every action you take, including your username, password and maybe even your credit card or bank account numbers is recorded. You may find later that your accounts have been emptied or your credit card used to purchase expensive items online. And while it may be easy, even understandable to blame the bank or store's security for your pain, the truth is that you were the one responsible.
And maybe you don't have a laptop, or don't have it with you when the need arises to do some online business. So you stop by a local library to make quick use of their Internet connections. As you move briskly through your leave and earnings statement information available on myPay, a program loaded onto that computer by a previous user records every keystroke and sends it to the thief sitting comfortably in his or her apartment or home miles away.
There's always more low-tech approaches as well. These can be as simple as watching "over the shoulder" as you work. Some thieves may attempt to watch you enter usernames and passwords; others attempt to catch valuable tidbits from your screen.
So, what can you do to use the ever-increasing number of online tools and stay safe?
While online safety requires continual research to know how criminals might be collecting their "loot," there are some basic precautions you can take.
Young, old, student, professional, parent, child, CEO and retiree, the need to get online is everywhere. The threats are real, and online systems are trying to remain ahead of them. But the one thing these systems can't control, and the one thing thieves are looking for, is you. Play it smart; protect yourself.

I like the eye region the best.
His arms look somewhat octopus - like. That being said I would expect some sucker things on the underside of them.
Right now his arms are thicker slightly past the bend of the 'elbow', than at his body. Most critters would have the thicker parts of their extremities closer to the trunk of their bodies.
Try looking at sea creatures that are all cartilage and muscle to figure out how it would look.

Some more work with the value contrasts would help define some of the overlapping planes better. I'm talking about things like where the head passes in front of the back ear/horn thing. It's hard to see the edge there.

Picture: Kate Winslet with with boyfriend Ned Rocknroll, leaves Claridge's Hotel wearing a glistening Jenny Packham black gown London, England - 27.03.12
Following the release of Titanic 3D, lead actress Kate Winslet has denied she "stalked" director James Cameron to win the part of Rose back in the 1990's. Articles appearing when the epic romance was first released suggested the British actress flooded Cameron with phone calls and letters until he relented.
Speaking to USA Today, the actress denied the story, explaining, "I wouldn't do that.It's not my style". The 36-year-old did own up to sending the director a bouquet of roses with a note signed "From Your Rose", three days after she auditioned in Los Angeles and before she landed the part, saying, "A lot of my contemporaries were much more likely candidates. I got lucky". Those contemporaries included Uma Thurman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder but of course, it was Winslet who eventually landed the role and went on to become an Oscar winning actress. From Cameron's point of the view, the director says he was lucky to find the perfect rose, saying, "Kate had a powerful intelligence and strength of personality.And a vulnerability. People have a glossy memory about the film, but her character is at the brink of suicide at one point. I knew whoever I cast would have to carry the movie on her shoulders, although Kate did feel a bit lost and overwhelmed by the magnitude".
Winslet and co-star Leonardo Dicaprio have stayed close since appearing in the smash-hit movie, though the actor was unable to attend the 3D premiere in London last week because of commitments to Quentin Tarantino's movie Django Unchained.

The Four Seasons: NY 'power lunch' mecca turns 50
NEW YORK The Dalai Lama. Madonna. Bill Clinton. Mary J. Blige. And a 13-year-old celebrating his bar mitzvah, complete with scantily clad dancers his father hired to usher the teen into manhood.
They all were guests at The Four Seasons restaurant, the storied dining room that practically invented New York's concept of the "power lunch" – a networking mecca of money, clout, good looks, even global spirituality.
This year marks the 50th anniversary for the restaurant just off Park Avenue on Manhattan's East Side, a two-story culinary cathedral awash in creamy Italian marble and French walnut designed by architect Philip Johnson. Chairs and bar stools are by another architectural genius, Mies van der Rohe, who designed the Seagram skyscraper above the restaurant.
It's hardly cozy. But that's not the point.
The Four Seasons is an international publicity machine and, despite its age, still a place to be seen. Competitors have cropped up – hot venues like Jean Georges, Per Se and Momofuku Ko – but none are landmarks, a status The Four Seasons earned in 1989.
At the helm is Julian Niccolini, the Tuscan-born managing partner. Part joker, part provocateur, part power-broker, he presides over the dining room and knows the details of guests' lives, secrets and all.
Niccolini loves to rib guests – he once sent a top investment banker a sack of raw potato spuds, with a ridiculously long recipe for baking potatoes, to make up for what the guest said were overpriced potatoes.
The power-lunch regulars returned the ribbing at a 50th anniversary Friar's Club-type "roast" of The Four Seasons on Tuesday – a $300-a-plate benefit for Citymeals-on-Wheels.
"You can see so many wonderful works of modern art," Martha Stewart deadpanned about the restaurant, which over the years has displayed art by Picasso, Miro and Jackson Pollock, "And that's just the plastic surgery."
Gossip columnist Liz Smith added, "Have you ever examined the bill at the end of a meal? At the very least, these guys are extortionists."
An appetizer of lobster, crabmeat and clams sells for $42 and a prime aged skillet steak and filet of bison with foie gras for $55 each. At $10, a spectacular mound of cotton candy was once a bargain – and it's now free.
In the crowd was Edgar M. Bronfman Sr., whose Seagram whiskey fortune financed the world's most expensive skyscraper when it went up in 1958, followed by The Four Seasons in 1959.
The Four Seasons' aura of importance peaked during the 1970s, '80s and '90s. But this grande dame of restaurants clings to her position, despite the cool, corporate elegance some now consider passe.
"No Longer Young, but Still Turning Heads," read a New York Times headline by restaurant critic Frank Bruni.
Guests mount the stairs from an unobtrusive entrance on East 52nd Street, off Park Avenue's sea of yellow cabs and limousines. "We once had a guest called Pablo, who left behind this gift," says Niccolini, glancing at the Picasso tapestry on the wall at the top of the grand staircase – painted for a 1919 French ballet production.

Follow your expert guide to the top of the terraced falls on a mild hike and admire gorgeous views of the scenery below. As you hike up, stop at one of the many small lagoons created by the terraced rocks. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the lagoons before continuing up the the terraced rocks to the top of the falls. After your Dunn's River Falls adventure, you'll have the chance to stop off at a fun souvenir shop before being transported back to your hotel.
Customer Reviews
August 2014
What an amazing experience! I visited the Falls before in 2010, which was nice, but it was crowded and not personal. This trip which we booked at 8:30 Wednesday allowed our party of 3 to be immersed in the Falls. We had it all to ourselves, no cruise ship convoy. Priceless. Our tour guide H. Slader #34 was awesome! He took time with us and allowed breaks; in addition, he was our personal photographer. We're planning to return to Jamaica in June 2015, so this trip is most definitely on our list. Be sure to book your trip early, unless you prefer long lines and being rushed up the Falls. Well worth it and be sure to request H. Slader if you can. Also, be sure to take your waterproof camera.
June 2014
Great trip, had a wonderful time climbing the falls. We went at 8:30 am, and was the only people on the falls. We had a great tour guide. A+

1/4 cup each: brown sugar, honey 2
ripe but somewhat firm mangoes, peeled, sliced into thick slices
Cake: 1/2 cup each: canola oil, brown sugar, honey
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon each: baking soda, kosher salt, allspice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Spray the sides and bottom of a 9-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut a circle of parchment paper that fits into the bottom of the pan. Lay the parchment circle into the greased pan; spray the paper with nonstick cooking spray.
2. For the topping, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add the sugar, stirring. Once the sugar and butter have melted together, stir in the honey. While it's warm, pour into prepared pan. Top the caramel with mango, slightly overlapping the slices.
3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. For the cake, combine the oil, sugar and honey in a large bowl. Add the eggs; mix until combined. Sift all dry ingredients together in a second bowl. Combine the sour cream, orange zest and vanilla together in a third bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture one-third at a time, alternating with one-third of sour cream mixture.
4. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until cake is golden brown and a wooden skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center, 25-35 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack until just warm to the touch. Unmold the cake onto a serving platter while it's still warm.

UPCOMINGUniversity of New Mexico senior Timmie Murphy will make her NCAA Cross Country Championship debut on Monday, Nov. 20 in Terre Haute, Ind. Murphy, who finished fifth at the Mountain Regional meet last weekend in Albuquerque, is one of 38 individual qualifiers in the field of 225 for the women's 6,000-meter race (3.7 miles). The women's race begins at 10 a.m. (MST) on the LaVern Gibson Championship Course at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center.
The weather forecast for Monday morning in Terre Haute projects sunny skies, temperatures in the mid-40s with winds blowing at nine miles per hour.
MEET INFORMATION/RESULTSComplete information and results from the 2006 NCAA Cross Country Championships will be available on the official website of NCAA Sports and the official athletic department website of host Indiana State University.
NEW MEXICO TRAVEL PLANS/CONTACT INFORMATIONHead coach Matt Henry and Timmie Murphy arrived in Terre Haute on Friday afternoon and will return to Albuquerque on Tuesday morning, Nov. 21.
NEW MEXICO WOMEN AT THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPSTimmie Murphy is the seventh woman to qualify as an individual to the NCAA Cross Country Championships. Murphy and former teammate Jacquelyne Gallegos (2001 and '04) are the only two women under seventh-year head coach Matt Henry to advance to the national meet.
UNM has had three women earn All-America honors five times. Gwen Willink was the last women's All-American, finishing 36th in 1988.
BACK TO INDIANAThis will be Murphy's second trip to Terre Haute this year and the third of her career. The Farmington, N.M. native placed 44th in a field of 245 at the Indiana State Pre-Nationals meet on Oct. 14 and was 133rd at the Pre-Nationals as a true freshman in 2002.
Timmie Murphy YEAR IN REVIEWMurphy opened the season with a career-best second place finish at the Lobo Invitational on Sept. 9. Two weeks later at Stanford she recorded the fastest 6K time under head coach Matt Henry, completing the course in 20:30 to finish seventh. Murphy was one second ahead of Stanford All-American Lindsay Flacks and 37 seconds behind six-time Cardinal All-American Arianna Lambie.
Following a 44th place finish at the Pre-Nationals, Murphy ran fourth at the Mountain West Conference Championships in Salt Lake City (Oct. 28) to earn first team all-conference honors for the second straight season. Last weekend in Albuquerque, she placed fifth at the NCAA Championships Mountain Regional to earn the first individual bid out of the region.

Section One: Introduction
Serious students and practitioners of project management are already familiar with the PMBOK® Guide—the professional standard published by the Project Management Institute. This document provides the foundation for the study and practice of our discipline. Like most standards, it is both very detailed and very high-level. That is to say, each knowledge area and process group described in the PMBOK® Guide is described in as much detail as possible when creating a document that must, by definition, apply to all projects in all fields of endeavor. For the new project manager—or the project manager faced with a specific problem in need of a specific solution-such standards often seem frustratingly academic: far removed from the daily grind of getting the work done.
But the Guide, while of tremendous value in describing the parameters of the field, was never intended as a step-by-step manual for running a project. Instead, it functions more as an ideal or pure vision of project management. Meanwhile, between the vision and the reality-as poet T.S.Eliot wrotefalls the Shadow.
The chapters that follow are designed to help you take the fundamentals of project management one step further into the sunlight. Respected expert practitioners have supplied chapters on the processes and knowledge areas that, rather than reiterating what you can read in the PMBOK® Guide, will help you to apply the standards and principles of the profession. Many of these authors were themselves involved in the 2004 revision of the PMBOK® Guide. In addition, supplemental readings related to many of the knowledge areas have been provided. Some of these readings are classics from the first edition of this handbook, while others were specially created to bring the reader up to date on issues and applications related to that knowledge area.
Because this section of the handbook is envisioned as a companion to the PMBOK® Guide, we've maintained the

Help on installing nForce Driver in RH Linux 9.0
1 Attachment(s)
System is a Athlon XP 2500 and kernel is 2.4.20-8 and tried both 1.0-0261 Kernel Tar File and Source RPM from here but got errors.
Attached are the tar and src rpm log files. Pls help, thx....
1 Attachment(s)
SRC RPM log file.
Ok here wat's I've done:
- download
- kernel-2.4.20-30.9.athlon.rpm
- NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_9.athlon.rpm
- install kernel by "rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.20-30.9.athlon.rpm"
- install nforce by "rpm -i NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.rh90up_2.4.20_9.athlon.rpm"
- reboot the system
Can't find my nvnet alias with eth0, what should I do? Pls help!!!
Re: Help on installing nForce Driver in RH Linux 9.0
I had no trouble building the src.rpm and installing it for my basic A7N8X mobo running Fedora Core 1 test1 with linux kernel 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl. I installed the src.rpm in my home directory and built it as myself, then installed the resulting .rpm as root. I used the following ~/.rpmmacros file to install it in my home directory...
%_topdir /home/myname/rpms
I also had the 'kernel-source' package installed before I started. The result
is found in /usr/src/linux-2.4... or you can 'rpm -qa |grep kernel-souce'.
Oh, the rpm should have added the alias to your /etc/modules.conf file. Check that file to make sure it is found then check these files or use
/etc/sysconfig/network (particularly the GATEWAY)
/etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (and eth1?)
Hope this helps.

1879 Schoolgirl Dollar in Copper1879 $1 Schoolgirl Dollar, Judd-1609, Pollock-1805, Low R.7, PR63 Brown NGC.
Judd-1609, PR63 Brown, Low R.7
Judd-1609, PR63 Brown, Low R.7
Design. The "Schoolgirl" dollar features George T. Morgan's design of Liberty facing left, with E PLURIBUS at the left rim, seven stars above, UNUM at the right rim, four more stars, the date 1879, and finally two more stars before we come back around from whence we began. Liberty's hair is combed back and tied with a ribbon behind her head. A hairband is inscribed LIBERTY, and a string of pearls encircles her throat, as her flowing locks cascade down her shoulder. The reverse features a defiant eagle, seemingly about to take flight, facing left on a rectangular perch with IN GOD WE TRUST. An olive sprig is in the left field, with three arrows in the right field. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR are at the rims, separated by periods. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
Commentary. This represents a second opportunity to capture one of the classic of American coinage design, the Schoolgirl dollar, this time in copper. The copper examples are apparently a bit rarer than the silver pieces, although not significantly so. In the mass of High R.6 and Low R.7 patterns in which this sale abounds, potential bidders would do well to remember that all pattern coins are among the rarest of all U.S. coin types, and that even the so-called "common" patterns are many, many times more rare than most regular issues in the U.S. series.
For the copper Schoolgirl pattern, the USPatterns.com website shows a census of some 12 pieces, with a couple of possible duplicates taking the number down to 10. The combined total of certified examples at NGC and PCGS also is 10 coins (9/08).
George T. Morgan (1845-1925) had only been employed at the U.S. Mint for some three years when he designed this wonderful pattern dollar, one of the most admired and revered in U.S. numismatics. Born in London, he had earlier been a pupil of Royal Mint engraver Leonard Charles Wyon. He was hired in 1876 after Mint Director Henry Linderman made inquiries to the British institution, feeling that perhaps Chief Engraver William Barber (1807-1879) and his son Charles (1840-1917), the assistant engraver, were "overworked and perhaps underqualified" (Ted Schwarz, "The Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars," The Numismatist, November 1975). William Barber had been hired at the Mint in 1865 and had become chief engraver in 1869, on the death of James B. Longacre, at which time he was already 62 years old. His son Charles was still relatively inexperienced.
Linderman wrote in 1875 to the Royal Mint director, "Could you find us a first-class die-sinker who would be willing to take the position of Assistant Engraver at the Mint at Philadelphia? We would like a man who could produce a finished hub, and if he understood modeling and also bronzing it would make him more valuable to us."
On the recommendation of his British employers, Morgan was hired for the Philadelphia position, with the understanding that the elder Barber, William, would soon retire. (Father and son William and Charles Barber shared an office in the Mint, so William's retirement would make room for Morgan to share the space with Charles.) Although William Barber continued to serve as chief engraver until his death, that occurred on Aug. 31, 1879. Apparently Charles Barber was not well-liked by his superiors; it was December before he was named chief engraver, with some consideration given to naming Morgan to the post. Although Morgan's talents were superior to Charles Barber's (and certainly to William Barber's), he served as assistant engraver from 1876, first under William Barber and then until Charles Barber's own death in 1917, a period of 41 years. George T. Morgan was named chief engraver in 1921, after nearly 45 years of Mint service.
Physical Description. Lustrous brown surfaces show strong iridescent highlights in shades of blue and purple. A few small lintmarks seen in the digits of the date serve as pedigree markers, but carbon and visible contact on this possibly undergraded piece are essentially absent. Under a loupe some faint evidence of die clashing is visible on each side, more so on the obverse than the reverse.
Provenance. Unknown.

Baltimore Orioles @ Los Angeles Angels Free MLB Pick
- Updated: April 20, 2012
On Saturday night, April 21st, the Los Angeles Angels will be back at home for MLB betting action, taking on the surging Baltimore Orioles.
Looking for the best sports handicappers on the internet? Look no further than the Expert Sports Handicappers here at Bang the Book. Click Here to check out the best gambling picks that you'll find anywhere!
We aren't so naïve to think that the Orioles are going to stay in the chase in the AL East all season long, but it is nice to see them in first place coming into the weekend. Manager Buck Showalter is doing a great job with this young team, though we know that this is going to be a tough series over the weekend against the Angels. Jake Arrieta is going to be the man on the bump for this one for the O's. The righty has thrown well this year, going 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA. He has 17 strikeouts in his 20.1 innings of work, and he has issued just four free passes. Thus far, Arrieta has shown great control and is clearly going to be one of the young arms that is counted on this year for 30 great starts in Baltimore is going to stay in it. The only time that Arrieta faced the Angels in the past, he allowed two runs in 7.2 innings of work, getting a no decision in spite of his quality start.
When the Angels went out in the offseason and spent all that money on Albert Pujols and CJ Wilson, they immediately figured that they were going to be favorites in the AL West once again. Not so much. The team is just 4-9 on the campaign coming into Friday, the worst mark in the division by a country mile, and Pujols has still yet to hit his first home run, 13 games into the campaign. If there is good news in this one, it is that Jered Weaver is going to be on the hill to start off this series. Weaver has two of the team's four wins on the year, throwing 14.2 scoreless innings in those two games in order to accomplish that. Weaver has at least six strikeouts in all three of his starts, and batters are hitting just .208 against him. Weaver is just lights out here at home in his career, going 43-18 with a 2.63 ERA. However, of late, he has been even more dangerous. Not only has Weaver thrown 14.2 straight scoreless innings at Angel Stadium, but he has a K/BB ratio of 16/1 at home and 23/2 in total this year.
Baltimore Orioles @ Los Angeles Angels Pick: Weaver is fantastic, but he is one of these pitchers that we just have a very hard time backing on a regular basis because of how much he is overhyped. Until the Halos starting hitting better, they are going to be hard to want to bet on. They're an overpriced team with an overpriced pitcher on the mound, and they are going to be going against a team that is severely underrated and playing good ball this weekend. The equation adds up to a lot of value being on the O's.
Free Baseball Pick: Baltimore Orioles

VIETNAM - 30 Day Honda XL 250 Father/Son Ride
View Single Post
Joined: Dec 2005
Location: Portland OR
Oddometer: 236
Day 17
Our plan was to spend the day around Son Trach as it's near the Phong Na caves and Phong Na National Park, both of which we wanted to explore.
First, having realized that with our late arrival yesterday we had checked into a hotel far from the town center, we relocated to a hotel in town. Then we took a walk, had some breakfast, and on the way back stopped to interact with some American War veterans who were having some kind of reunion. They were very friendly and most welcoming to Americans. Quite a few of them had lost limbs. They were happy to pose for some photos with us:
We had been on the road for over two weeks always wearing helmets and riding gear. The weather was now hot and humid and we really wanted to enjoy the change from the cooler north. So we opted for a more relaxed riding style - no helmets and minimal clothing. Well at least I was wearing sneakers but Zach opted for thongs!
Then we rode to the caves about 6 kms from town. Apparently, we later learned, there is another recently discovered cave formation even better than the one we visited. Nonetheless we rented a kayak and the guide that came with it, and paddled in to explore the caves. The first couple hundred yards had lighting and is the area frequented by tourists who are boated in. However with our guide we paddled through far deeper into the caves, no lighting there other than that from our headlamps. The caves were really cool. After about an hour of paddling we got out of the kayaks and scrambled over rocks further into the caves. Finally back to our kayak, and we paddled back to the starting point.
We then rode off to explore the Phong Na National Park. This was the terrain as we neared the park:
We rode through the park for about 10 miles, very thick jungle with occasional views of the surrounding mountains and cliffs. Then to our surprise we stumbled upon the remote western section of the HCM Trail. My Russian friend Ilya, who I met in Hanoi, had told me about this section. He said it was very remote and a "must ride" but hard to locate. On the maps it was very confusing, but here we had found it so now we could incorporate this into our route for the next day. We decided to explore and rode north on it, the next day of course we would head south. We entered an area of very thick jungle with great views of the limestone karst hills and mountains. Totally remote, not a soul to be seen.
We explored for a few hours finding some interesting caves, rivers, and always the incredibly lush jungle. At one remote spot, nothing for miles, we were hanging out and I was really surprised to find I had 3G service on my cellphone - there was a cell tower on the hilltop near us. It was the only time I had 3G service the entire trip except in some areas of Ho Chi Minh City.
We made our way back to town and reset our route for the following day to incorporate the remote western section of the HCM Trail as we now knew where to access it.
Total distance for the day - 50 kms (30 miles)

The first cuts are not deep enough
In a particularly bad line in a woefully bad film, a billionaire played by Anthony Hopkins says: "Never feel sorry for a man who owns his own plane." True, fewer investment bankers own their own planes than, perhaps, they would have you believe. Nevertheless, they are a hard bunch to feel sorry for. But if there was ever a time to, now would be it.

I was able to get Mob Wives Uncensored Season 1 DVD set from having a Klout score in the right category and range. But the thing is, I don't watch Mob Wives, so I figured why not give it away to someone who likes this show and will watch it. You can check out all of the available ways of entering by checking out the Rafflecopter widget below.
Product Information:
Mob Wives is a docu-soap that follows the lives of four struggling, "allegedly" associated women who have to pick up the pieces and carry on after their husbands or fathers do time for Mob-related activities. The women are long time friends who live in New York City's "forgotten borough", Staten Island. Along the way they battle their friends, families and each other as they try to do what's best for themselves and their children. It's not easy to maintain the lifestyle they were accustomed to when the family's primary bread winner is in lock up.

iHome iDL 100
Remember when we all had clock radios beside our beds? The iPhone has all but replaced the need for these nearly quaint devices. iHome has just introduced a product that updates the old standby: a bedside radio that charges your iPhone and/or your iPad while you sleep.
iHome Lightning Clock Radio for iPhone and iPod
Company: iHome
Price: $69.99
The iHome Lightning Clock Radio features an FM clock radio with six preset channels, and a Lightning dock connector for iPhone/iPod allowing you to charge and play. You can wake up to FM radio or music from your iPhone playlist. The small footprint (4.81" W x 5.12" H x 5.12" D) of the unit makes this ideal for the bedroom nightstand or an office desk.
iHome Wireless Bluetooth headphones
Model: iB75
Manufacturer: iHome
iHome iB75
In 2001, Earbuds were introduced with the iPod. They were not particularly good at the gym or when walking. Recently Apple developed improved EarPods, but even with a better fit, they disappoint when you are physically active. The biggest problem is the dangly cord that gets caught on clothing, and its weight can pull the Earbuds or EarPods out of your ears.

iH24D Deluxe Table AM/FM iPod Speaker
Company: iHome
Price: $49.99
There is a place for high-end quality audio. There is also a place for inexpensive audio. Somewhere in the middle there is a sweet spot for most iPod music lovers, and the iHome iH24D Deluxe speaker fits right there.
Looking at pictures online at DrBott.com, I knew the iHome iH24D was a small unit, but just how small was not apparently clear until I set it up with an iPod connected to it. This is a very small, but surprisingly robust, speaker. It looks like an older Boston Acoustic shelf speaker I owned back in the early 1990's, but turned on its side.
The look of the iHome iH24D is the most appealing aspect. While not great audio quality, for the price and what it is, it is more than adequate for a small room, or sitting on an office shelf. The woodgrain compliments the black front grill and control knobs well. This is one iPod speaker that does not look cheap or inexpensive.

The movie was great , fantastic annimation.. A little overboard for the VERY young... But no need for all these Homophobes to reer their ugly heads with the public outcry. I am a happily married Hetero male who is secure enough in my own skin to admit that I am sick of all this Anti Gay rhetoric that shows up when in a simple children\'s movie has a character who admits he is a bit different. Most Children will have no problem with this until they see the reaction from their parents so it is in my opinion that the fault lies with the parents who introduce their children to this type of hate... And I say shame on you....

So all you stupid people who say they won\'t be taking their kids to see it because of the \"gay agenda\" being pushed on them just do yourself a favor and shut the *******. The movie was AWESOME, it had a great message about bullying without being in your face about it, adorable characters, and a perfect mixture of humor and a little bit of horror. And most importantly at the end when the jock reveals he\'s gay was phenomenal. Finally a non stereotypical gay man whose main characteristic wasn\'t being the token gay guy. So don\'t listen to prejudiced ********, go take your kids to an awesome family, feel good movie.

I woud of NEVER EVER took my daughter to see this if i knew about the Homosexual reference towards the end! That is a subject that does not belong in children films that are made for younger audiences - at the very least there should of been a warning or something in the marketing of the film ! Defintly would not recommend this movie to any of my friends who have kids

A SURVEY OF OPEN SPACE Out on VOD 8/5 via Devolver
Devolver Digital Films has announced the digital VOD release of the bicycle adventure film, A Survey of Open Space. Directed by multimedia artist/filmmaker Peat Duggins, the new feature-length documentary follows a pair of urbanites who embark on a 4000-mile bicycle ride in search of the last wild place in America.
Set in the wake of America's great western expansion, the film is a portrait of bike touring and a meditation on wilderness. Duggins is an established artist working in several media, including film, and his art is in public and private collections.
The digital VOD (Video on Demand) release is scheduled for August 5, 2014 through Devolver. The film will be available via iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, PlayStation, Xbox, VUDU, Vimeo on Demand, VHX, Google Play, and others. A cable VOD release date is set for September 9, 2014 (check local listings). For additional information, visit asurveyofopenspace.com.
A Survey of Open Space (Adventure Documentary, 2014, 113 min.) --
Set in the wake of America's great western expansion, A Survey of Open Space is both a portrait of bike touring and a meditation on wilderness. The film follows a pair of urbanites as they embark on a 4000-mile bicycle ride in search of the last wild place in America, which, to their dismay, they find. The epic journey begins on the Mexican border and spans the continent, touching three oceans before concluding in the Arctic. Along with breathtaking scenery, the camera also captures the riders' changing attitudes towards and definitions of wilderness, highlighting the conflict between the ideal of the wild, and the actualities of disappearing wilderness at the beginning of the 21st century. The film asks the viewer to consider whether there still is a wild, and is it worth anything, in fact or concept.
Shooting began in April 2009 and continued for fourteen weeks. The resulting film is a road movie whose trail spans the remnants of the western frontier, exploring both the landscape and culture along the way. It stars Zach Hall, Michaela Duggins, and Chris Comfort, and was awarded "Best One of a Kind Work" by the Austin Critics Table. A Survey of Open Space also screened at the Fusebox Festival in 2013.
Credits: Director: Peat Duggins; Producer: Peat Duggins; Screenwriter: Peat Duggins; Featuring: Zach Hall, Michaela Duggins and Chris Comfort.
Peat Duggins, Director, Producer & Writer -- Peat Duggins is a multimedia artist living in Boston, Massachusetts. He works in a variety of modes, including sculpture, illustration, and filmmaking. In addition to working under his own name, Duggins also creates work with several collaborative groups, including the nine-member artist collective, Okay Mountain, and the smaller three-person director's group, Okay Video. Duggins received a BFA in Film/Video from the Rhode Island School of Design before relocating to Austin, Texas. There he co-founded the non-profit gallery, the Fresh Up Club (2003), and co-founded the acclaimed commercial gallery, Okay Mountain (2006), which later became the artist collective exhibiting under the same name.
His work is included in several public and private collections including the Blanton Museum of Art and the Austin Museum of Art. His accolades include fellowships from the Pritzker Foundation and Brown Foundation; numerous residencies including the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, the Yaddo Artist Colony, and the Djerassi Resident Artists Program; and grants from the Dallas Museum of Art and the Fusebox Festival. Duggins' work with Okay Mountain is included in a number of public collections, including the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, The McNay Art Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. As part of Okay Video, Duggins co-directed and animated music videos for the Flaming Lips and Bill Callahan.
Devolver Digital -- Based in Austin, Texas, Devolver Digital distributes independent video games and guides indie filmmakers through digital distribution and film promotion. Devolver Digital's outspoken Passion for independent games, developers, and fans has earned the company no minor measure of game industry notoriety. With its expansion into film, which was announced at South by Southwest 2013, the company applies that same fiercely creative devotion and digital content expertise to support and celebrate indie filmmakers and projects. Co-Founder and Partner Mike Wilson says his own experience as a filmmaker seeking distribution led him and his partners to expand Devolver Digital into film. That experience has guided the company's focus on "hand-crafted" strategic partnership and personal attention in distributing the titles on the label to a full range of digital and cable VOD platforms.

For 2015, Infiniti's QX70 luxury crossover SUV loses its V8 engine, leaving just two trims: QX70 and QX70 AWD (all-wheel drive). The available Sport package loses its most compelling features, those being Rear Active Steering and Continuous Damping Control.
Other than its new moniker, the 2014 QX70 remains the same as the outgoing Infiniti FX. The Limited Edition model is no longer available.
Although its name may seem unfamiliar, the 2015 Infiniti QX70 began its run in life as the popular FX, a design that has held up amazingly well over the years. Sleek, low and fast, the QX70 is still one of the best driving luxury SUVs around, though it has lost some of its mojo with the deletion of the 5.0-liter V8 engine. Not noted for its spacious back seat or vast cargo hold, the QX70 is more about style and performance than utility, placing it on par with the Porsche Cayenne and a cut above the soft-riding Lexus RX. But Infiniti's midsize luxury SUV remains relevant, thanks to its gorgeous interior, long list of electronic entertainment and safety features, and relatively strong resale and reliability ratings.View Infiniti QX70 vehicles for sale near you.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 2,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "Very comfortable and roomy"
Cons: "Lousy shifting pattern"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"I have had this car for a month and put on about 2000 miles.As I said its a great car with comfort and drives extremely well. A few annoying things have really disappointed me. The worst shifting pattern I have seen. From start the trans, winds up, than it winds up again and than a third time. The last three shifts you don' hear. This pattern is indicative of much cheaper cars. All the time you hear the engine winding up. How annoying is this! A couple of other things like the mirror folding switch can not be seen due to its location and the mirror adjustment switch is also not in the right place and difficult to use. These two items are used constantly but were designed by a first year engineer. For an expensive car I am amazed at the misses."

The differential cross sections of the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction were measured at 1.85 and 2.67 MeV by using a gridded ionization chamber. Neutrons were produced through the T(p,n)3He reaction. The absolute neutron flux was determined through the 238U(n,f) reaction. Results are compared with existing data.
