Hi everybody, just posting my 50cents.
I am a big fan of D2, however D3 disappointed me. WoW graphics and pretty blunt.
This game has lots of potential. Very frequent updates, a MASSIVE passive skill tree - 1350 skills inside of it.
That's right - one thousand, three hundred and fifty!
Totally recommending this game to all of the D2 fans.

Depends. If you're the average Joe, who wants to have some fun, there's no downside of this.
The game is in beta, so it's perfectly understandable.

Lets not mention that 900 of those "Awesome" skills you mentioned are passives giving 5% hp, 5% attack speed and whatsoever. Id like to mention those graphics but Its OK we can take it another time :)
Nothing beats D2 so far. Id like to see marvel heroes tho, if anything thats what reminds me of D2.
(Edited) I just want to give you an example so you can realise how stupid this POE "1000" skills "OMG" is.
Lets take an example, Lighting resistance. In D2 you had 1 skill for example giving res, you could put total of 20 points into it and it increased your lighting resistance with each level right? I think I am right. :) so 10% res, 20, 30, 40 and so on.
Let me show you how stupid POE skill system is. Lets take lighting reistance again. Instead of having 1 image/icon, skill they split it up into like 200. You have 1% lighting resistance at one node, another 2% from the second node, 3% from the third, 2% from the forth, and so on and so on. All the way untill you reach your 60% for example.
So you have 200 Nodes which is just... stupid. Honestly, POE would have like 50 Skills max if it was built with some sense like D2. Why did they build it in that way? Guess why? MONEY.
The idea of this massive tree is that you can make "fun" builds this way, money is not connected to this at all. This wouldn't be possible if the game had, let's say, the D2 skill tree.
You don't have to pay anything to play this game to its full potential. You can use the same maps, same items and have the same exp as anyone who would pay for this game.
I totally agree that nothing beats D2 yet, but I feel that when this game is going to be finished one day, it could have the potential to do it! :)

The game developers of POE made this massive skill tree to impress little kids so they can play their game. MONEY is indeed involved more than you can imagine of and of course its nothing that the developers want you to realise.
The developers right now are giving us the message "We made an awesome game with 1000+ skills, join us!" Exactly, join us so we can get enough fans and players so we can make some MONEY!. You can get money in 2 ways in the gaming industry, either you have P2P or you have FAME, PLAYERS and SPONSORS. Imagine a game that has 2 million players, you really think they arent making any money? This is the INTERNET, Welcome to 2013. We have youtubers on INET that make money just by having subscibers, then additionaly some people even donate and pay to them for the "good causes" which gives those youtubers more than enough to make a joke of themselves.
In another perspective, I do understand you and yes it could have some potentioal, but the only reason for that would be the "real life" graphics. Me you, everyone knows it. If the graphics where cartoonish it would be GG with ANY skill tree. The only reason we play it is mostly because of the graphics, everyone know at this point how stupid the skill tree is, and yes it is EASY and YOU are forced to chose OP builds to survive in HC.
Another thing that I can add to this is, KRIPPARIAN. This guy has contributed to this game so much that the least he can get from the game developers is a JOB. Seriously, they even asked him to make a homepage with all his builds that he came up with, WHY? MONEY, again. Fame, Fame, Fame. Its like britney spears!
Seriously if it wasnt for Kripparian the only players that would be playing this game would be little kids with the thoughts "OH wow look at that skill tree". Kripparian said it himself, if you are going to play this game then play HC; the rest is just junk. How many HC players are there now again?
Predictions, whatsoever my last two cents contains THIS;
POE is going DOWN. Just like Torchlight. And yes he does have over 50 000 Viewers which would quit the game too :)
Have fun.
If you just want to have some fun, you play whatever you want and that's what I'm doing.

More White Girls Taking On The Black Cock ! February 13, 2010
Reviewer: The Joy Of Porn
More White Girls Taking On The Black Cock !
I'm a big fan of the Gangland series, I must own about half of them. Naughty white girls taking on all those big black cocks, it just doesn't get any better for me.
Like this one, many of the recent Gangland's dvds have been shot in Prague, Czech Republic, with hot Czech girls.
This one of my all time favourites of the series, featuring 2 of my all time favourite girls, the super sexy Claudia Rossi and the so cute and pretty Sheridan. Claudia is well known but Sheridan has only ever appeared in a handful of adult movies, what a pity !
In separate 30 minute scenes, Claudia and Sheriden both take on 3 blacks guys each. The scenes follow the usual format, starting with oral, then moving on to pussy sex, then to pussy and anal dp, with come shots at the end.
Needless to say, both girls get well and truly fucked in all of their holes. Their pussies and asses must have been sore for the rest of the week ! Claudia clearly comes about 4 times and it looks like she really is coming and not just faking it. Sheridan's just so young and fresh looking, newly plucked from the tree and served up for us to enjoy.
There's a third scene starring Janet Alfano, who is also a hot Czech girl. But for some reason, this scene doesn't catch fire. Janet's a sexy girl, but I've seen her look much hotter elsewhere.
If there's one complaint, it's that there's little lead into the sex, the girls do a bit of a sexy strip and that's all. I always liked the early Gangland dvds, where there was a bit of a storey line and dialogue before the girls got fucked.
In short, a must own of the Gangland series and this gets 5 stars from me.

Nah, they're on he same drive, just two different partitions.
If the OS's are on two different drives then you can switch to them with the boot selector from the bios
I didn't check under the boot tab, but I have tried both re-installing Win8 and trying a startup repair with the Win8 install disk, but neither worked.
Boot into Windows 8, then invoke the run dialog and type in "msconfig", then check to see if both operating systems are listed under the Boot tab, if not I think you might be able to run the Windows 8 setup again then go to the part that helps fix boot, then it should be able to scan for all installed operating systems and should re-enable the menu.

if they were on two different hdd then it be easier but same partition kinda kills what i was about to suggest

Yesterday, I installed the 90-day trial of Windows 8 RTM that MSDN has been giving out to app developers. I partitioned my SSD that has an install of Windows 7. The OS itself works fine, but here's the kicker: my computer will always boot straight to either Windows 7 or Windows 8 without a dual-boot OS selection screen. I can change the boot OS by manipulating active partitions in Drive Manager, but even that isn't 100% foolproof (not to mention cumbersome). I tried re-installing Windows 8 as well as a boot repair with the Win8 startup disk, but no luck (the Win8 disk actually said there was nothing to fix).
I've had a lot of dual-boot setups over the years, but I've never seen this happen. Is there any way to fix things so that the Win8 boot loader is actually used?

Impact of Aerobic Exercise on Asthma Morbidity (Ex-Asthma)
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
Asthma is a chronic disorder of the airways primarily driven by increased airway inflammation, and is an escalating medical problem in Canada. For example, between 1994 and 2001 there was a 40% increase in the number of Canadians who had asthma. Not only is the prevalence of asthma increasing but there has been a rapid rise in the number of asthma events and costs associated with asthma and poor asthma control. It has been estimated that the global cost of caring for asthma exceeds that of AIDS/HIV and tuberculosis combined. These increases have occurred in spite of the development of clear asthma management guidelines. There is evidence to suggest that aerobic exercise, e.g., running or cycling, may improve asthma symptoms and control in children. However, there are currently no studies that have systematically assessed the effects of exercise on asthma control or symptoms in adults. The current proposed study will assess the effects of aerobic exercise in sedentary patients with poorly controlled asthma. In addition to usual medical care, 52 patients will participate in a supervised aerobic exercise program. The program will consist of 3 X 1hr sessions of supervised exercise per week for 12 weeks. Another 52 patients will only maintain usual medical care. The asthma control, quality of life, and inflammatory profile will be evaluated at baseline and following the 12 weeks of treatment. The investigators believe that: (1) The exercise intervention will significant improve asthma control and asthma quality of life; (2) The exercise intervention will result in significant improvements in inflammatory profiles; and (3) These changes in the inflammatory profile will be directly related to the improvements in asthma control and quality of life.

Hide Detailed Description
Detailed Description:
Introduction: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder primarily driven by increased airway inflammation. It is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions affecting Canadians. It is the most common chronic illness affecting children and the fourth most common disorders affecting adults. In 2001, nearly 2.2 million (8.4%) Canadians were diagnosed as having asthma. More importantly, asthma is an escalating medical problem in Canada, e.g., between 1994 and 2001, there was a 40% increase in the number of Canadians with asthma. Not only is the prevalence of asthma increasing, but there has been a rapid rise in the morbidity and costs associated with asthma and its poor control. The WHO estimated that the global cost of caring for asthma exceeds that of AIDS/HIV and tuberculosis combined. Though recent guidelines have emphasized the importance of improving asthma control and quality of life, leading to huge amounts of resource being dedicated to this, more than 50% of adult patients with asthma remain poorly controlled. As current treatment strategies appear to be failing, it is important to target simple, cost effective interventions that are applicable for most patients with asthma and will increase overall levels of control and decrease asthma morbidity. There is evidence to suggest that aerobic exercise may improve asthma symptoms and control in children. In addition, there is evidence that exercise directly improves inflammatory and immune profiles in non-asthma patients, which may provide the mechanism by which exercise could improve asthma. However, there are no known studies that have systematically assessed the effects of aerobic exercise on asthma control, quality of life or immune function in adult asthma populations.
Objective: The primary objective of the current application is to assess the efficacy of aerobic exercise as an intervention to improve asthma control and quality of life in adult patients with asthma. The results of this study will provide data that will inform physicians and members of the Thoracic community about the benefits of exercise for asthma. The study will also assess potential inflammatory pathways by which exercise may elicit improvements in asthma morbidity. The results of this study should be available for the next Canadian Thoracic Society Canadian Adult Consensus Guidelines.
Methodology: The current proposal is for a study of aerobic exercise in sedentary patients with poorly controlled asthma. In addition to usual care, 52 patients will undertake supervised aerobic exercise. The exercise program will consist of 3 X 1hr sessions of supervised exercise per week for 12 weeks. The exercise routine, under medical supervision, will consist of 10 minutes of warm up exercises, 40 minutes of biking and/or walking (and eventually jogging), and 10 minutes of cool down exercises. These patients will be compared to a group of 52 patients who will follow their usual regimen, this group will be offered the exercise programme once they have completed the post assessments. For the primary outcomes (asthma control [Asthma Control Questionnaire], quality of life [Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire]) and secondary outcomes (inflammatory profile) will be evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks (the length of the treatment). To check the efficacy of the intervention both lung function, ambulatory peak flow, and exercise tolerance data will also be collected. Repeated measures analysis of covariance-type models with time (pre, post intervention) as the within subject factor, group (exercise, usual care) as the between factor, and sex, age, and asthma severity as the covariates will be used for the primary outcome variables. To assess the potential mechanistic role of inflammation on the exercise-asthma relationship a series of regression-like GLMs will be conducted.
It is hypothesized that: (1) The exercise intervention will result in clinically and statistically significant improvements in levels of asthma control and asthma quality of life; (2) The exercise intervention will result in clinically and statistically significant improvements in inflammatory profiles, with reductions in Th2 cytokines, and activation of inflammatory cells, and increases in Th1 cytokines; and (3) Changes in inflammatory profile will be directly linked to improvements in asthma measures.
We believe that the proposal will have great clinical significance for patient management. This project will be the first to systematically evaluate the benefits of exercise training on asthma control and quality of life in adult asthma patients. We anticipate that the results of this study will form the basis for new national and international guidelines and will provide an evidence-based background for physicians to prescribe aerobic exercise for patients with asthma.

The first Mitsubishi model to come to the United States was the 1971 Mitsubishi Galant. However it was marketed here as the Dodge Colt under a partnership agreement between Chrysler and Mitsubishi.
Stresses in the partnership ultimately led Mitsubishi to market products in the U.S. under its own name as well. Mitsubishi Motors North America was founded in 1981 to do so. This introduced models like the Mirage, Starion, Lancer, Eclipse, and 3000GT to these shores. Good cars all, but today, when you say the word "Mitsubishi", driving enthusiasts everywhere immediately think Lancer Evolution.
OK, well they actually think "Evo" but it's the same thing.
Previously a Japanese home market special, the eighth generation of the car came to the States in 2003 to satisfy a rabid demand. Two generations later, the adulation for the turbocharged wonder car continues unabated. The current (June 2013) American lineup of Mitsubishi automobiles also includes Outlander, Mirage, Galant, and the electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
Autobytel's Mitsubishi car reviews reflect the findings of a group of knowledgeable and dedicated professional automotive reviewers who drive every new car each year. To offer these, the most current Mitsubishi reviews available, Autobytel's team has thoroughly road tested each new Mitsubishi car you see reviewed here.
In addition to providing driving impressions, Autobytel's reviewers explore the technology, engineering, design, and special features of each model in an effort to provide the most accurate assessment possible. All of this is done in an effort to provide you with the most accurate information available to assist your car buying process.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Gonzalez signing official; Leon designated for assignment
The Brewers officially announced Monday the signing of left-handed reliever Mike Gonzalez and made room for him on their 40-man roster by designating right-hander Arcenio Leon for assignment. »Read Full Blog Post

Wouldn't mind seeing the Brewers sign Alex Gonzalez if he can't get a starting job with another team.Hide replies
I don't see Agonzalez signing before the season if he can't get a starting job to be honest. He can wait until someone goes down in spring and probably get a job he wants. Signing right now would lock him into a back-up role which he doesn't want.
Melvin isn't going to sign a $2.5-3M backup. Especially an injury risk and nearing the end of his career.
A 2.94 era for a career is great. Not too many 34 year olds in ML have an era that low.He sure beats Parra and Low.Hide replies
At 34, no spring chicken but I sure hope you're right.
gonzalez is a real good signing. too bad it was for one year instead of two years.
It's been almost exactly 19 months since Freddy Sanchez appeared in a Major League game, but the former NL Batting Champ is drawing heavy interest. Sanchez's agent Paul Cobbe says Crasnick that roughly 20 teams have asked to see Sanchez's medical reports.
Sanchez, 35, hasn't played a game since June 2011 -- the result of operations on his shoulder and back. He won the National League batting title in 2006 when he hit .344/.378/.473. In 3,686 career plate appearances between the Pirates and Giants, Sanchez is a .297/.335/.413 hitter.
Sanchez has extensive experience at third base and second base, though he hasn't manned the hot corner since 2006. In terms of fielding, Ultimate Zone Rating is a fan of his glove at both positions, though the Fielding Bible pegs him as a slightly below-average defender at second base.
His agent says Sanchez is healthy and has been keeping himself in good shape, playing pick-up basketball for two-to-three hours a day, six days per week. IF healthy I hope the Brewers are checking into him!Hide replies
I don't.
If you traded Ramirez and signed Sanchez, how many wins would that cost you? I'd say maybe 3. Save the cash grab the prospects.
With no #4 hitter, a huge injury risk, and weaker defense, the cost would be more like 10-12 games. Not worth doing. What good is the cash if Melvin isn't going to spend it? No good 3B prospects are to be had anywhere.
You're not getting much of anything for Ramirez unless the Brewers eat a lot of the $30 M he's still owed. Sanchez is 35 and hasn't played in over a year and a half, and he's coming off of some pretty serious injuries.
10-12 wins isn't a realistic estimate in KAYM's scenario. Ramirez was a 6.5 fWAR player propped up on a likely unsustainable defensive performance. (Only the 2nd time he's posted a positive UZR since the data was first available in 2002) You'd have to assume Sanchez and his potential injury replacements are ridiculously below replacement level.
The Rangers have designated left-hander Tommy Hottovy for assignment to make room for Lance Berkman, the team announced via press release.
The Rangers acquired the 30-year-old southpaw from the Royals in November in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. In 13 1/3 career Major League innings for the Red Sox and Royals, Hottovy has a 4.05 ERA, eight walks and eight strikeouts.
Hottovy whiffed an impressive 61 batters in 50 Triple-A innings last season and also showed good command with just 16 walks. His career numbers at Triple-A are strong; he's pitched to a 3.18 ERA, 8.3 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9 in 121 2/3 innings of work. The Wichita State product was a fourth-round selction of the Red Sox in the 2004 Draft.
A lefty with those kind of numbers at AAA would be a nice signing for the Brewers. Check him out in ST and see what he's got!Hide replies
If he was DFA'd does that mean he passed through waivers already?
he was send outright to nashville.
There goes our chance to do the Arsenio Hall "whoop whoop whoop" with our arms when Arcenio trotted in from the 'pen.

I never thought I'd be in the dog house for doing the dishes. You see, my wife's favorite Christmas present was a pizza stone, and it turns out you aren't supposed to wash one with soap and water. I discovered this the hard way and destroyed hers. It's doubly sad since it was the only good present she got. Like, she asked her parents for a lamp and they sent her a check so she could pick one out herself. And the rest of her presents are things she'd never use in a million years. Well, at least we'll be able to re-gift most of the stuff over the next several months. Except, of course, the pizza stone. If you ended up with a few unwanted presents this year, too, here are some tips on how to regift with class.
According to a survey from bookoo.com, 92 percent of people think it's okay to regift and over half of the survey-takers planned to regift at least one of their Christmas gifts. Still, there are a few important rules worth mentioning:
Picture frames – Remember, Valentine's Day is only a couple months away. Between now and then, print out a picture of you and your sweetheart, put it in your new picture frame and wrap it up for the perfect Feb.14 surprise.
Gift baskets – Bring that unwanted gift basket to your next family or friend get-together. An unopened gift basket makes a great hostess gift, especially if it includes wine.
Candles – Try combining the candle with a few premium bath soaps, lotions and oils to create the ultimate collection of home spa essentials. This will make a great Mother's Day gift … or keep the revamped gift for yourself (we won't judge).
Gift cards – Before you repackage that gift card, make sure the funds haven't already been spent. In my house Amazon certificates don't last too long, and I would be horrified to find out I'd given someone an empty gift card.
Pajamas – Give a spouse or parent the day off and surprise her with a new pair of pajamas along with a note that says she gets to stay in bed all day while you take care of the chores.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday this week. Please sound off in the comments below with a few of your favorite items to regift.

'Donut' forms on Mount St. Helens
By Bob Heye and KATU Web Staff
VANCOUVER, Wash. – A new formation inside the Mount St. Helens crater is fascinating both scientists and tourists. It has also a strange nickname – the donut.
The mountain's second lava dome pushed up and through the original glacier. As it grew, it pushed the split glacier forward toward the crater's mouth until it finally rejoined – completing a circle of ice on the crater floor.
"In the lower 48 states, this is one of the few glaciers that's actually advancing," said Jon Major, a hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey. "All the other glaciers in the Cascades are retreating."
The question for scientists is whether the glacier will continue pushing forward – perhaps onto the valley floor itself.
"Is it going to make it all the way to the gully systems that, you know, spill out of the crater?" Major asked. "Will it actually advance out of the crater? Or will it now stabilize where it is and begin to retreat?"
And now that the lava dome eruption has stopped, scientists wonder if the glacier's growth will slow down or stop too.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 02 December 2005 12:00AM
Take last Friday, when a certain Tim Lindsay, the Publicis chairman (who is thought by some to possess movie-star good looks), was dining with Fallon's Robert Senior.
As they tucked into their meal, a young blonde woman walked over from a nearby table. Senior assumed Lindsay knew her, until she said: "My friends and I all agree you (Lindsay) are the sexiest, most handsome man we have ever seen."
At this, Lindsay turned several shades of crimson, while Senior, as any good friend would, invited the woman and her friends to join them for a drink. At this suggestion, Lindsay protested, saying he and Senior had got lots of business matters to discuss.
When finally she left them, Lindsay said modestly: "How embarrassing - that hardly ever ... I mean, never happens."
Lucky Lindsay, as half of adland was in the house to witness the flattering event. Johnny Hornby, James Murphy, Garry Lace, Chris Hunton, William Eccleshare, Gay Haines, a sprinkling of Campaign hacks, Robert Campbell, David Yelland, Lorna Tilbian and, last but not least, Andrew Cracknell were all enjoying the impromptu floorshow at the restaurant.
Apologies to anyone we may have inadvertently missed out.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 4/30/13
PHOENIX (AP) -- Brandon Belt hit a two-run single in the eighth inning, helping the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 Monday night to end a five-game losing streak. Belt also had a solo homer in the second inning against Ian Kennedy. The first baseman broke a 4-all tie in the eighth after Brad Ziegler (1-1) gave up a leadoff double to Nick Noonan and walked two to load the bases. Marco Scutaro had three hits and scored two runs for the defending-champion Giants. Jean Machi (1-0) pitched a perfect seventh inning for his first win in the majors, and Sergio Romo worked the ninth for his ninth save. The Diamondbacks scored all four of their runs in the fourth inning on homers off Matt Cain. Jason Kubel had a two-run shot and Eric Chavez and Martin Prado each hit a solo drive, but the D-backs had just two more hits. A three-time All-Star, Cain finally got some run support but continued to struggle with the long ball. The Giants, who had scored three runs combine...

The same plant twice. One with one shading domain, the other has 3. Templates in the texture folder. No textures, no shaders included.
Just the props with their geometry of course.
Created with the old Hexagon and D/S3
This is actually based on a very real desert plant which is two shades of pale green>whitish/green. I'd guess a cactus of some type.

Last night ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien had agreed to become the coach at Penn State.
The official announcement will be soon, but the Pats offensive mind will be on the move. O'Brien is in the last year of his contract as New England's offensive coordinator and was believed to be in Pennsylvania interviewing for the position on Thursday.
This does mean the Patriots will be looking for someone new to fill the position. A few weeks ago, I wrote about the possibility of Andy Reid coming to the Pats if he was fired in Philadelphia, but this was pure speculation on my part; although there are several possibilities.
Starting with Patriots offensive assistant Brian Ferentz, who could definitely in the mix. While Ferentz could be an option, he is probably a few years away from an ideal choice and thus would not likely be named coordinator right away. Nevertheless, he should be considered for the position.
I have seen Josh McDaniels name brought up, and while that is a legitimate candidate, he is still under contract with the St. Louis Rams. So Patriots fans should keep an eye on St. Louis. If Jeff Fisher is hired as the new Head Coach, which many think it will, a Josh McDaniels return is favorable.
Pat Hill, former Fresno State Head Coach, is currently unemployed and a close friend of Bill Belichick. Hill could be someone to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. Hill could be a valuable asset for New England's coaching staff.
While there are many possible scenarios, I am curious to see how the situation plays out. Good news for Patriots fans, however, O'Brien will remain the offensive coordinator through the playoffs.
Who would you like to see fill the Patriots offensive coordinator position? Leave a comment below and share your thoughts!

I am a newbie to R and I have problem splitting a very large data frame into a nested list. I tried to look for help on the internet, but I was unsuccessful.
I have a simplified example on how my data are organized:
The headers are:
1 "station" (number)
2. "date.str" (date string)
3. "member"
4. "forecast time"
5. "data"
I am not sure my data example will show up rightly, but if so, it look like this:
1. station date.str member forecast.time data1
2. 6019 20110805 mbr000 06 77
3. 6031 20110805 mbr000 06 28
4. 6071 20110805 mbr000 06 45
5. 6019 20110805 mbr001 12 22
6. 6019 20110806 mbr024 18 66
I want to split the large data frame into a nested list after "station", "member", "date.str" and "forecast.time". So that mylist[[c(s,m,d,t)]] contains a data frame with data for station "s" and member "m" for date.str "d" and for forecast time "t" conserving the values of s, m, d and t.
My code is:
data.st <- list()
data.st.member <- list()
data.st.member.dato <- list()
data.st. <- split(mydata, mydata$station)
data.st.member <- lapply(data.st, FUN = fsplit.member)
(I created a function to split after "member")
#Loop over station number:
for (s in 1:S){
#Loop over members:
for (m in 1:length(members){
tmp <- split( data.st.member[[s]][[m]], data.st.member[[s]][[m]]$dato.str )
#Loop over number of different "date.str"s
for (t in 1:length(no.date.str) ){
data.st.member.dato[[s]][[m]][[t]] <- tmp}
} #end m loop
} #end s loop
I would also like to split according to the forecast time: forec.time, but I didn't get that far.
I have tried a couple of different configurations within the loops, so I don't at the moment have a consistent error message. I can't figure out, what I am doing or thinking wrong.
Any help is much appreciated!
Regards Sisse

As a disease known as amphibian chytrid fungus continues to wipe out amphibian species worldwide, frogs in Panama are finding a safe haven in a seemingly unlikely spotbetween the metal walls of shipping containers once used to transport ice cream, strawberries, coffee beans, flowers and pharmaceuticals. Two of six refrigerated containers to be donated by the shipping company Maersk Line arrived this week at Summit Municipal Park in Panama City, Panama, where the Smithsonian Institution and partners are working to save amphibians in imminent danger of extinction.
"Each container provides us with critical space to house animals that may represent the last chance for the survival of their species," said Brian Gratwicke, a National Zoo research biologist and the international coordinator for the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project. "The containers are now self-contained 'amphibian rescue pods' that have been specially modified to control the climate and keep diseases out."
The rescue pods will be part of the project's Amphibian Rescue Center at Summit Municipal Park, which will also include a lab with a quarantine facility. After frogs are collected in the field, they will be quarantined for 30 days before being moved to the rescue pods that will serve as their new home. In addition to the two containers that are now in Panama, Maersk Line has agreed to donate two containers per year for the next two years to the project, for a total of six. Shipping company APL has also donated one container this year. Each container offers 995 cubic feet of space to house these animals. The seven together will more than double the amount of captive space the project currently has in Panama to safeguard endangered amphibians.
"Maersk Line's support of the amphibian rescue project is aligned with our long-term focus on sustainability," said Mike White, head of Maersk Line's North American organization. "Although we are pleased to donate

Don't you think it is suspicious a North Korean wins Olympics in 1996 in Atlanta and the next year that weight, and only that weight is cut?
I don't really buy into consiracy theories all that much. Other countries had won the weight besides N. Korea (Cuba, Japan, CCCP, South Korea) so I don't think it was done to snub N. Korea per se.
I really don't know the real reasons. All I know is that FILA basically crushed an entire continent with that move. Think of where most of the world's population lies and how many smaller people live there. I just don't understand it.
Wrestling used to be a sport where everyone had a place to go. This is no longer the case.
Many Americans (wrongfully) think it's easy for an adult male to simply gain weight to fill into the new 55 kg class. Now think back to the old weights -- 55 kg is only 2 kgs lighter than the 3rd weight. That's ridiculous.
That's like asking Vougar Oroudjov to gain enough weight so that he can go and compete against Sergei Beloglazov. Good luck!
You have to look deeper though. Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. Communism in general was over as a dominant party there. Only China, North Korea and Cuba remained deeply Communist. China never had any good freestylers. Cuba and North Korea consistently continued to dominate at 48kg. North Korea won gold in 1992 and in 1996. I don't believe any Western Nation ever won Gold at 48kg. Since the West pretty much controls Olympics, 1996 48kg Gold in Atlanta for North Korea triggered the desire to end any kind of Glory for North Korea at Olympics.
Look, maybe it wasn't directly like that but I bet the conservative USA wrestling organization led the way to off the weight claiming it is no longer competitive.
And how can it be competitive if NORTH KOREA won Golds in both 92 and 96?
You have to admit I got a point.
Still not sure I buy it. Cuba does well at other weights as well and are pretty dominant in Greco.
I don't think the US has that much power Big. Anyways I believe it was more of an IOC thing than a FILA thing.

Buick Rainier Problem Report
Buick Rainier Erratic Fuel Gauge Operation
(61 reports)
The fuel level sensor in the fuel tank may fail causing erratic fuel gauge operation. Our technicians tell us that on high mileage vehicles you may wish to replace the complete fuel pump module assembly if this condition occurs.
On certain 2005 - 2007 vehicles, General Motors has provided a special service policy covering the fuel level sensor, agreeing to pay 50% of the repair cost. This coverage extends for 10 years or 120,000 miles from the original "in service" date of the vehicle. Please contact your local GM dealer for more information.
To find a dealer near you, please click here»
Eratic fuel gauge after filling up. Low fuel light and alarm sound but gauge sometimes goes back to full. How hard is it to change this sensor and how much should I expect it to cost if I take it somewhere to have it done? - Aoj
11 people like this
We had this fuel sensor problem only about a year after we got this car. At first Gm sent out notification about the problem and offered to fix it for 50% of the cost. So we just kept track of milage when we filled up. Then at about 94000 miles They sent out a notice again in July 2013 that they would cover the whole cost up to 120000 miles, so we went and had it fixed no problem. If any of you paid the 50% to have this done they have a form you can fill out so you can get reimbursed.Ask your dealer. Now if they would just do something about the stinking air suspension that keeps leaking ! No more GM for me after this one. Anybody want to buy a lowrider? - Visitor

After filling up, the gage will read empty, but will eventaully read correctly. I'm resetting my trip odometer each time I fill up just in case though! - Visitor

Fuel sensor slowly failed - now permanently on empty. 80,000 is approximate - I have been living with this issue for over a year since I cannot pay to get it fixed. - Visitor
Same problem...... - Visitor
Fuel gauge shows empty when full, and bounces around up and down after that. - Visitor

Fuel level sensor has long periods of time that fail to correctly display the correct level of fuel in the Terraza gas tank. Today was a first in that the faulty sensor caused the check engine light to come on. The P043 P code indicated that the fuel level sensor has a circuit high input. Now, it can't pass a smog test and I must have the problem corrected instead of just living it as a known problem. This problem started early for this vehicle, for the past 5 years now. - Visitor
Fuel guage shows empty after filling, sometimes bounces up and down, now it shows empty all the time. - Visitor
Fuel guage stopped working. Dealer said it would be over $500 to fix without telling me about the "recall" I did the research & called back. Fixed within a day. - Visitor
fuel gage stopped working - Visitor
the problem starts when the weather is hot, I think. It is chronic, the engine light comes on and the fuel gauge drops to empty. Not repaired yet. - Visitor

Fuel Gage is inaccurate. Low fuel warning will go off even though the tank is full of gasoline. - Visitor
The fuel gauge shows that the gas tank is empty even after it was just filled. After 50-100 miles, the gauge shows between 1/8 and 1/4 tank but quickly goes back to empty and and low fuel indicator light comes on. - Visitor
I put over $200 in my gas tank and within minutes of each time to the gas station the gas came out. A different dealership outside where the car was purchased, fixed the fuel sensor, now the same problem and they want me to pay $1,230. - Visitor
fuel gauge shows empty after each fill - Visitor
I too was having a very unreliable, and erratic gas gauge. My gas gauge would say it was full, when in actuality it was almost empty; and it would tell me I was on empty only miles after filling up. I have the panel that shows me an estimated miles to empty, and it seems to still work fine. Only the needle on the gas gauge is messed up. Here recently, it decided to no longer work at all, and has now fallen below the "E" mark, and just stays there. Again, my MTE gauge still works. - Visitor
fuel gauge read empty after filling up and would give inaccurate readings . . . used car dealership corrected the problem after I had purchased the vehicle - Visitor
I was getting close to empty warning (orange)light was not on. Pulled into gas station filled it up. I watched it go from about 1/2 tank to empty then the fuel warning (low) orange light came on and stayed on. I have not driven it enough since to see if it is erratic. On a side note I saw where someone else reported a winning engone my does the same and it drives me nuts! - Visitor
