The NADAguides analysts know that this isn't the car for just anyone, but more specifically for those looking for a proven sedan with luxury features and sharp design elements; the 2011 Chrysler 300 is the perfect combination."
Olivier Francois, President and CEO of Marketing at Chrysler Group LLC: "It's definitely an honor to have the all-new 2011 Chrysler 300 recognized by NADAguides as Car of the Month - July," said Olivier Francois, President and CEO — Chrysler Brand and Lead Executive for Marketing, Chrysler Group LLC.

2011 Chrysler 300 Highlights
Engine: The 2011 Chrysler 300 comes with the new 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that offers 292 horsepower and 260 pounds –feet of torque or Chrysler's legendary 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine that offers 363 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 394 pounds-feet of torque at 4200 rpm. The V8 option also comes standard with Fuel Saver Technology that utilizes sensors to detect when full power is not necessary and actually shuts off four of the eight cylinders. Both engine options come with a five-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick™ which allows for manual or automatic gear selection without use of a clutch for smooth shifts and excellent performance. The 2011 Chrysler 300 achieves up to an estimated 18 MPG city and 26 MPG highway. With speed control, an available all-wheel drive option, and newly tuned suspension the analysts at NADAguides found the 2011 Chrysler 300 to offer a smooth, stable and comfortable drive.
Interior: The entire interior of the Chrysler 300 has been overhauled now offering premium materials and state-of-the-art connectivity features. New interior ambient lighting and the wood accents add a luxurious touch and feel to the interior design. Eight-way power driver's seats help the driver customize the ride for added comfort, while heated/vented front seats and back heated seats allow for even more customization for every passenger. An available dual pane panoramic sunroof allows for plenty of sunlight for all passengers and the Chrysler 300 also offers plenty of space to comfortably seat five adults.
Technology: Available UConnect® voice command with Bluetooth®, capless fuel fill, Uconnect™ Touch 8.4" touch screen radio, available ParkSense® front and rear park assist system and ParkView® rear back up camera, and an Alpine six-speaker or nine-speaker sound system with Sirius Satellite Radio combine to make the Chrysler 300 a state-of-the-art, feature-packed vehicle. The analysts at NADAguides found the multimedia center to be intuitive and one of the best on the market, providing the driver with useful information such as miles until empty and average MPGs the driver is achieving.
Safety: The Chrysler 300 offers extremely impressive safety features such as standard advanced front multistate airbags, supplemental side curtain and front seat-mounted side bags, driver's side knee airbag, reactive front head restraints, and a strong steel structure. Chrysler's SafetyTec safety and security package includes adaptive speed cruise control, forward collision warning system, blind spot monitoring –a system NADAguides analysts felt surpassed some of the systems offered by the competition – and rear cross path detection. The package also includes ParkSense® front and rear park assist system, adaptive Bi-Xenon High-Intesity Discharge headlamps and automatic headlamp leveling system, SmartBeam® Intelligent headlamps, rain-sensitive wipers, rear LED fog lamps, a universal garage door opener, multi-functional power exterior mirrors with supplemental signals and courtesy lamps. The 2011 Chrysler 300 earned a Top Safety Pick from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety earning a "good" rating in frontal offset, side impact, and roof strength.
Price/Warranty: MSRP for the 2011 Chrysler starts at $27,170 for the 4 door Sedan RWD and goes up to a starting price of $40,320 for the 4 door Sedan 300C AWD. Chrysler offers a five year, 100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty, and three year, 36,000 mile basic limited warranty. Chrysler coverage also includes free towing to the nearest dealership.

City, Contractors in Race Against Time to Finish New Military-Tribute Park
BREMERTON - Crews will be putting the final touches on Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Memorial Plaza right up until its ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday.
Gary Sexton, Bremerton's redevelopment projects administrator, was at the site Thursday — he's spent most of his waking hours there lately — supervising an array of tasks. Two days before the new park's 1 p.m. debut, he was directing a crane operator on where to place a 13,500-pound rock. Not quite, said Sexton, lit up in neon green and orange rain gear. Lift it up and move it over a couple inches.
Nearby, Rob Cukurs and Paul Affolter of Zeppelin Studio in Seattle painted a history of the shipyard's World War II ship repairs and construction on the back of the bow of the guided missile cruiser USS South Carolina. Ryan Winger of Stirrett Johnson in Silverdale leveled fountain nozzles. Chris Smith of the Bremerton parks department pressure-washed a 4-foot-tall sculpture of World War I rivet heater Esther Bielmeier.
There are last-minute jobs to do, but most of the park's grass is rolled out, the granite-and-black pavers are placed, the water-feature nozzles and lights are aimed.
Mayor Cary Bozeman credits Sexton for getting the project finished by Armed Forces Day, when lots of Navy brass will be in town for a 10 a.m. parade. That was always the goal, but it didn't always seem achievable.
"Nobody can do this like Gary Sexton, and he's been working 15 hours a day on (the park)," Bozeman said. "He was committed to getting this done and, by gosh, it's going to be done."
Sexton said he led the effort, but can take only a fraction of the credit.
"It's been a test of a lot of people, and they performed," he said. "It took a lot of individual wills and commitment and belief in the project, but they did it. It certainly wasn't without stress, tension and conflict."
Other contributors included city public works and parks department workers, PSNS, rock artist Will Robinson, Northwest Barrier, WET Design, Stirrett Johnson, Rohwein Electric, Creo, Commarts, Leader International, Steele and Associates, and Yamamoto Landscaping.
Bozeman said when he and Sexton started seven years ago, there was a barbed-wire fence separating the shipyard from the city.
"It was time this city did something to memorialize that shipyard, which has been the heart and soul of this city the last 100 years," the mayor said.
Now the new plaza, Navy museum and fountain park combine to give Bremerton a special urban space, Bozeman said.
"I'm really pround of it, but it's really Gary Sexton's passion and work and soul that made it happen," he said.
The plaza is about 500 feet long and 110 feet wide, and lies between Pacific Avenue and the shipyard. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the Navy bought the land and demolished the businesses to provide a security buffer. The city decided to give it a more attractive dual role.
The park will depict the long history between Bremerton and PSNS. Three plazas will each feature an era in shipyard history. Near Burwell Street will be the Women Workers of World War I. In the middle near the USS South Carolina's bow will be the Shipyard During World War II. And at the bottom, a few steps from the First Street gate, will be a plaza honoring today's shipyard workers.
It sits atop the tunnel, which is supposed to be finished this spring.

text: The rise of single-serve prepared food products on the retail market is a strong indicator that consumers crave convenience. And if that's true for foods it's safe to assume they want convenience in gardening too. That was the concept that Gulfstream Home and Garden used in developing GardenTech(TM) Singles(TM) single-dose pouches of lawn and garden chemicals. Four of the Lexington KY-based company's popular products were introduced nationally this past spring. The package won both the Environmental Achievement award and a Gold Star in the Outdoor/Gardening category in the 1997 AmeriStar Package Awards sponsored by the Institute of Packaging Professionals. The pouches hold up to 1.5 oz depending on the product. Directions instruct consumers to open pouches with scissors pour contents into a watering can or sprayer bottle and mix with water to make one gallon of insecticide. The chemicals are then sprayed on affected areas. Four varieties include Sevin® Insecticide Singles for control of lawn bugs Diazinon(TM) Insecticide Singles for control of yard bugs Herbicide Singles for weeds and Fungicide Singles for plant disease. Says Darren Horst vp of sales & marketing at Gulfstream "A lot of food products have been introduced in single-serve sizes. We felt customers have gotten accustomed to purchasing a smaller unit dosage and paying a bit of a premium for the convenience. "We did a lot of research" he continues "that told us that consumers were (A) confused about purchasing lawn and garden chemicals and (B) concerned about purchasing larger quantities like pints and quarts of concentrates-which make 30 to 60 gallons of the stuff-because that meant that opened conventional packages were sitting around their garages for seasons."

CIT Aerospace is focused on level of return for shareholders as the sale-and-leaseback and bank markets heat up.
The lender evaluates sale-and-leaseback deals on a case-by-case basis, submitting proposals only where it sees sufficient returns, says Jeff Knittel, CIT president of transportation and international finance.
"What we do is very rigid in making sure our shareholders are getting the appropriate return," he says. "In certain cases, the transactions we believe are not optimal for us to get the returns we require [and], in that case, we are not participating."
Sale-and-leaseback volumes are up in 2014. Deals covering 183 aircraft were closed during the first six months of the year, 43 more than the same period in 2013, data from Flightglobal's Ascend consultancy shows.
Knittel acknowledges this trend, saying there is "a lot of capital chasing airplanes", and emphasises CIT's flexibility to also lease directly to airlines or provide them with financing.
"When we have one of those channels that has what we view as too much competition, we tend to go towards other avenues," he says. "In this case, we've been doing a fair amount of financing."
Knittel argues that CIT's $40 million secured loan to Allegiant Air in May is an example of the lender's ability to do unique financing deals that other institutions may pass up. The loan is backed by six older Boeing 757-200s the carrier operates on flights to Hawaii.
Asked whether CIT is participating in what many consider a very competitive bank market, Knittel says the focus is on a unique niche market where asset management skills can be combined with a loan.
"It's not our intent, in terms of our financing, to be all things to all people," he says.
In June, JP Morgan credit analyst Mark Streeter cited the bank market as the primary reason for a low level of capital market activity so far in 2014.
Airlines raised $8.24 billion in bank financing for aircraft during the first six months of 2014, Ascend data shows. This is an increase of more than 60% from the same period last year.

Arrack Pretzels
|Vanilla bean
|200 Gram (3/4 Cup Plus 2 Tablespoons)
|Powdered sugar
|300 Gram (3 Cup)
|Egg yolk
|1 1⁄2 Pinch (Large Pinch)
|300 Gram (2 1/4 Cups)
|Egg white
|Arrack/Dark rum
|60 Milliliter (3 Jiggers)
|Lemon juice
|2 Teaspoon
Cut open the vanilla bean and scrape out the pith with the tip of a knife.
In a bowl, cream the butter and 1 cup (100 g) of the powdered sugar to form a smooth mixture; add the egg yolk and salt, together with the vanilla pith.
Mix in the flour.
Let this rich short dough rest, covered, in the refrigerator about 1-2 hours.
Divide the dough into 3 parts.
Roll out each part on floured work surface into a rope 16 inches (40 cm) long, cut into 20 even-sized pieces, and roll these into thin ropes about 10 inches (25 cm) long.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Shape the ropes of dough into pretzels and attach the ends with a little egg white.
Place the pretzels on an unbuffered baking sheet and bake on the center shelf until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
Combine the arrack or rum with the lemon juice and remaining powdered sugar and stir to make a fairly thin glaze.
Dip the pretzels into the glaze and allow to dry on a cake rack.

Is pinball a game? I went to a friend's birthday party at a bar 'n' grill joint recently and they had Simpsons pinball. I played it for about five minutes.
Re: Game Systems
All the consoles I've ever owned are gone now I've had a PS2, PSX, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Gamecube, Sega Master System (for a short while), and an ATARI. The only 'console' I will always have is my PC, so it will also always be my favourite. Favourite games include the Smackdown! vs Raw games (PSX/PS2/PS3), Need For Speed Underground 1 & 2 and Most Wanted (multi-console), Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye (Nintendo 64), and Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines (PC) is my fave of all time

Re: Game Systems
PS3 is the best! And I own it :) However, Recently I bought Microsoft Xbox 360 which is also quite good and worthy.
Half Life 2
Grand Theft Auto IV
Batman: Arkham City
Red Dead Redemption
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Assassin's Creed II
and lastly my favorite of all
BioShock Infinite
Re: Game Systems
I love Shenmue. Definitely ahead of its time. The sheer scale and scope of it just blew my mind.
It had its funny side too. It cracked me up during the game's early stages if you walked around the neighbourhood, knocking on random people's doors. A few minutes of this and you'd hear Ryo say 'No one's home' in about a dozen tones of voice.
RIP Dreamcast. Sega did just about everything right with the system in terms of hardware and games. It deserved a better fate, that it did.

Obama says Boy Scouts should allow gays as membersBy NEDRA PICKLER
The Associated Press | February 04,2013AP PHOTO
Boy Scouts recite the Scout Oath during the annual Boy Scouts Parade and Report to State in the House Chambers at the Texas capitol, in Austin, Texas. President Barack Obama said Sunday that gays should be allowed in the Boy Scouts and women should be allowed in military combat roles.WASHINGTON President Barack Obama said Sunday that gays should be allowed in the Boy Scouts and women should be allowed in military combat roles, weighing in on two storied American institutions facing proposals to end long-held exclusions.
The presidents comments in a pre-Super Bowl interview on CBS come ahead of this weeks meeting of the Boy Scouts national executive board. A proposal to open up the Scouts membership to gays is expected to be discussed and possibly voted on at the gathering in Texas.
The Boy Scouts emphatically reaffirmed the no-gays policy just seven months ago, but announced last week they were considering changing the stance. Instead of mandatory exclusion of gays, the different religious and civic groups that sponsor Scout units would be able to decide for themselves how to address the issue either maintaining the exclusion or opening up their membership.
The White House said in a statement last August that Obama opposed the gay ban. Obama, like presidents for the last century, serves as honorary president of the group. The presidents comment Sunday was his first since the group announced it was considering a policy change.
My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does in every institution and walk of life, Obama said. The Scouts are a great institution that are promoting young people and exposing them to opportunities and leadership that will serve people for the rest of their lives. And I think nobody should be barred from that.
Obama also had previously issued a statement supporting the Pentagons decision last month to open up front-line combat jobs to women, but the interview with CBS Scott Pelley included his first publicly spoken comments on the matter since the announcement. He said women are already serving in combat as a practical matter.
When theyre in theater in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, they are vulnerable, he said. They are wounded, and theyve been killed. And they have carried out their jobs with extraordinary patriotism and distinction.
The policy change overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller ground combat units, and is expected to open up more than 230,000 combat positions that have been off limits to women.
Obama said he meets extraordinary women in uniform who can do everything that a man can and more. He gave the example of one of his military aides, who he estimated is only about 5 feet tall and 100 pounds.
You put a 50-pound pack on her, and she can do things that you or me would keel over doing. And so the truth is that women are serving. They are taking great risks. What we should not do is somehow prevent them from advancing in an institution that we all revere.
On the economy, Obama said although more revenue has to be raised to reduce the deficit, it can be done without raising income tax rates again. He said the answer is smart spending cuts, reducing waste in the health care system and closing loopholes and deductions like offshore tax havens that benefit a few high income earners but not most Americans.
Theres no doubt we need additional revenue coupled with smart spending reductions in order to bring down our deficit, he said. We can do it in a gradual way so it doesnt have a huge impact.
Coming before the Super Bowl, Obama had to expect hed be asked about his recent comment that if he had a son, he would have to think long and hard about letting him play football because of safety concerns. Obama said he feel differently about the NFL, where the players are well-compensated adults who know the risks, but the threat of concussions has to give parents pause about letting youth and children play.
I want to make sure we are doing everything we can to make the sport safer, and that means the games probably going to evolve a little bit, Obama said. For those of us who like to see a big hit and enjoy the rock em, sock em elements of the game, were probably going to be occasionally frustrated.
But I do think we want to make sure that after people have played the game, that theyre going to be OK, he said.
The Obamas were hosting their own Super Bowl party for friends and family at the White House. In honor of the two teams, the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, they were serving Chesapeake crabcakes and San Francisco cioppino stew with sourdough toast. Also on the menu are Clipper City and Anchor Steam beers from the competing cities.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Earlier this year, Hillary Rodham Clintons campaign lost count of its experts.

Khalil Beidas
Khalil Beidas (Arabic خليل بيدس, also transliterated Khalil Bedas, Khalil Baydas, Khalil Beydas) (1874–1949) was a Palestinian Christian scholar, educator, translator and novelist. Beidas was the father of Palestinian Lebanese banker Yousef Beidas and was a cousin of Edward Said's father according to Said's autobiography.
Alongside contemporaries such as Khalil al-Sakakini, Muhammad Izzat Darwazeh and Najib Nassar, Beidas was one of Palestine's foremost intellectuals in the early twentieth century during the Al-Nahda cultural renaissance. Beidas was the pioneer of the modern Levantine short-story and novel. He was also a prolific translator—as early as 1898, he had translated some of the works of Tolstoy and Pushkin into Arabic. In addition, he established a magazine, "an-Nafa'is al-'Asriyyah" (النفائس العصرية, The Modern Treasures), which acquired a good name in literary circles both in the Ottoman vilayet of Syria (broadly corresponding to today's Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon) and the Palestinian Diaspora.
Education and career[edit]
Beidas was born in Nazareth in 1874 and studied at the Russian Orthodox ''al-Moscowbia'' and the Russian Teachers' Training Centre until his graduation in 1892. Beidas' education was on a basis of classical Arab culture, and despite being a Christian Beidas was renowned as a hafiz. In his early twenties, Beidas was appointed headmaster of Russian missionary schools in many parts of Syria and Palestine. Later, he became the senior Arabic teacher at St. George's Anglican School in Jerusalem.
Beidas travelled in Russia after his graduation in 1892 as a ward of the Russian Orthodox Church, where he was influenced by the ideas of the late-19th century cultural nationalists such as Dostoevsky, Gorky and Tolstoy. On returning to Palestine, Beidas became a prolific translator, introducing the major figures in Russian literature to the Arab reader. His technique in translation was distinctive—he translated freely, adding or omitting until he achieved what he considered to be the basic aim of the novel, that which is derived from everyday life and human nature. His style tended to be naturally elegant, humorous and sarcastic.
Given his strong connections with the Russian Orthodox Church, Beidas became a leading member of Palestine's Orthodox church, representing the Orthodox Christians of Northern Palestine at the Combined Council of Arab Orthodox and Greek Clergy which was charged to administer Orthodox affairs in Jerusalem.
Beidas was interested in European culture, especially with its humanitarian and social aspects and, prompted by the contemporary Russian cultural resurgence to which he had been exposed, called for a comprehensive cultural revival in the Arab world. His own cultural works were multi-faceted: literary criticism, educational textbooks, translation of major foreign works of fiction, works on linguistics, political speeches and articles and works of Arab, Greek and European history.
Beidas' was a main proponent of the Palestinian national movement, through his journal An-Nafa'is as well as through a number of public speeches and articles in major Arabic (Egyptian) newspapers such as Al-Ahram and Al-Muqattam. Beidas tried to raise awareness of the threat from the Zionist immigrants, and urged the Ottoman authorities to treat the Arabs fairly.
Beidas established a unique library of old manuscripts, valuable books as well as a Stradivarius violin, all of which were lost when he was forced to flee to Beirut after the creation of Israel in 1948. Khalil Beidas' library is thought to reside within the Jewish National Library at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Beidas' periodical, an-Nafa'is al-'Asriyyah (النفائس العصرية, The Modern Treasures), was founded in 1908 in Haifa (transferred to Jerusalem in 1911) and became one of the most popular periodicals amongst Arabs living both within the Levant and in the Palestinian Diaspora.
Beidas was in full technical control of the journal, editing most of the contents himself. It became a mouthpiece for all major active writers in Greater Syria and the Palestinian Diaspora and was distributed widely, as far a field as Brazil and Australia. An-Nafa'is became a distinguished institution, benefiting from the general cultural awakening in the region and the increased focus on literary and scientific matters.
In the preface to the first issue of An-Nafa'is, Beidas explained that he considered novels to be one of the great pillars of civilisation in the enlightenment of the mind and his aim was to draw readers' attention to the significance of narrative art from the intellectual, social and moral point of view.

"There are hardly words to describe the beauty and magic of this place. From the moment Lisa the owner opened the doors onto the lake I felt my mind and body transform. Returning back to myself. No place I would rather be than in this womb called Casa Barbara. As others have said Lisa makes all the difference. Her loving kindness is genuine and profound. She is an angel that walks this earth and brings so much joy to others. I feel honored to know her and grateful she was able to spend some time with us along with her husband Fritz. Very special people. You will find all you need here. Well stocked kitchen and laundry. But what you might not expect is that you may never want to leave the house.

Clutters of red dots - GTX 460 with 300w power supply?

Re: Clutters of red dots - GTX 460 with 300w power supply?
Thats not nearly enough power supply for that system. It came like that? Notice the warning on the PS that says max power will not exceed 350w. Probably the system tried to pull too much power and toasted either the PS or the card or both. Your quad core i7 CPU is probably a 95w lynnfield, and the GTX 460 averages 150w-160w with peaks of up to 180w. Thats potentially 275w, just in those two components. ~100w for the rest of the system is a typical estimate, depending on components. That's 375w potentially. Almost all of that is going to be coming through the 12v rails, which say they are only rated at 300w. You could be pulling in 75w above the rating on your PS, or more.
Even beyond that, its always good to have more power than you need, so your PS isn't working at peak all the time, 450w should be about the minimum for that setup, IMO.

yep, you can do that. Just not when there isn't anyone in the car.
|Jul 7 2007, 12:33am Anchor
Ok, I got everything working except the windows. Some parts are see through. Delorean I know you said something about trying an alpha. How exactly do I do that?
|Jul 7 2007, 7:07am Anchor
texture the window onto like one white texture, and make an alpha using gray to make it transparent.
|Jul 7 2007, 3:27pm Anchor
Alright that alpha thing worked now all I have to do is refine the collision file and it'll be ready to go. Also for the hover conversion one do you want it to be like the BTTF 2 delorean or something along the lines of the police car, like this: Outatime.it
|Jul 7 2007, 10:00pm Anchor
BTTF2. The police car looks like a 2015 model. This is just a 2004, meaning it never had a hover conversion as a default feature.
|Jul 7 2007, 11:41pm Anchor
Ok, sounds good. Also I saw just yesturday that the guy who made Cfg studio has a v2 beta up for download. It has new features one that will help with the helicopter handling. Just thought I'd let you know.
|Jul 8 2007, 8:24am Anchor
i'll look into it. For now, I think the hunter has the best handling for the job.
|Jul 8 2007, 2:36pm Anchor
Ok, then I'll test it with the hunter.
|Jul 8 2007, 3:01pm Anchor
Make 5 lights on the bottom on instead of 4. That was what our delorean has and what we're sticking to. Weird how the movie has both 5 and 3 light versions.
Edited by: Delorean88us
|Jul 8 2007, 6:14pm Anchor
Ok, I'll add in the fifth light.
|Jul 9 2007, 2:04am Anchor
So it will be able to shoot?
|Jul 9 2007, 3:41am Anchor
wtf r u talking about?
|Jul 9 2007, 4:01am Anchor
"bout the 04 Del. If it replaces the HUnter, means it can shoot, I don't want it to be a death machine
|Jul 9 2007, 4:49am Anchor
it wont replace the hunter in the release. hes just testing it with the hunter
|Jul 9 2007, 5:26am Anchor
I just said the handling of the hunter's should be good. Not the vehicle.
|Jul 9 2007, 9:27am Anchor
|Jul 10 2007, 2:56pm Anchor
Ok, I tested the hunter with the hover conversion one and the handling does suit it well, I'm sure you can fix it so the car doesn't go completely vertical when moving forward. Also the bonnet and boot will have to be part of the car cause if they're with the respected dummies they rotate like the copter blades.
|Jul 10 2007, 9:03pm Anchor
Thats fine. It's expected actually. Helicopter's don't really have bonnet or boots.
|Jul 11 2007, 2:42am Anchor
Cool, ok I'll put all that together and then send you the files sometime tomorow, which is actually today now that i look at the time.
|Jul 11 2007, 7:01pm Anchor
Ok, pic of the hover delo and regular in game. Don't worry I've changed the car colors for the hunter to match the original delorean. Also for those who don't know already the hunter is only being used as a test because of the hunters handling. It'll be changed to one of the other helicopters when it's ready for release. I did make a body update also and I think this helps make the silver and gold look much better with the black around the bottom of the car.
|Jul 11 2007, 7:49pm Anchor
yeah, that would help. Weird seeing just a solid color driving around.
Anyway, more delorean updates. This time, the wires.

Not to offense you... But the '04 DeLorean looks like made of cardboard. MAybe in the gameplay it'll be better.

K, the '04 looks great!, Cant wait to see it in-game.

the 04 delorean looks great! but will we be able to time travel with it? (with all the stuff on the back: mr fusion, wires etc...)

I hope not. Too many time machines already. Why not have an ability to make time machines out of EVERY vehicle? (again, didn't mean to offense anyone.)

OTTAWA - Opposition parties are scrambling to keep the doors open as a Commons committee meets to draft a witness list for hearings on the F-35 stealth fighter.
Both the NDP and the Liberals are asking the Conservative majority on the public accounts committee to give up the idea of holding the meeting in camera.
Since last year's election, the governing Conservatives have made a habit of conducting routine committee meetings in private.
The committee is examining the auditor general's finding that the Defence Department didn't disclose the full cost of the multi-billion dollar stealth fighter program.
The first hour of today's meeting was taken up with opposition arguments over public access, even though Conservative MPs made no immediate move to go behind closed doors.
The full hearings into auditor general Michael Ferguson's report are expected to start Thursday.

Dodge Intrepid Problem Report
Dodge Intrepid Engine Does Not Start and PCM Fault Code Stored
(18 reports)
When a no start condition is caused by a faulty camshaft or crankshaft sensor, related fault codes stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) should not be trusted. Our technicians tell us that under certain conditions a fault code can be stored for the "good" sensor. Care should be taken to properly diagnose this condition.
i have a 2001 dodge in tepid 2.7 liter when i crank the engine i have to hold the key on for3 to 5 seconds before it fires once it starts firing i have to hold the key on for another 1 to 2 seconds or the engine wil quit running once it starts it drops down to 400 rpms and makes a hissing noise on the passenger side and the engine vibrates violently and will do this anywhere from 3 to 5 seconds as well then it shoots up to 1,500 rpms and sometimes (waddles) the car and once it warms it seems to run fine even when its warm its still hard starting somebody please help me before i go drop a whole lot of money into this engine and at least give me and idea of whats wrong - mikehormell

I have the same hard starting problem if I drive somewhere shut it off for less than an hour and try to start it again. Upon inspection I found that the crank shafts moves the pulley in & out to the point that it was knocking the other belt off! I believe this is messing with the crank sensor. Rather than rebuild the engine, I removed the ac belt to keep the big one on & I keep jumper cables in the car for when I wear the battery down trying to start it. Saving up to buy another car! - Visitor

That didn't take long...
The Atlanta Falcons today announced that they have signed offensive lineman Gabe Carimi.
Carimi, 6-7, 316 pounds, was originally selected by the Chicago Bears in the first round (29th overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft. He spent two seasons in Chicago seeing action in 18 games with 16 starts before being traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prior to the 2013 season. Carimi played in 14 games with three starts last season. He won the Outland trophy as the nation's top interior lineman and was an All-America selection as a senior at Wisconsin.

Re: Falcons sign Gabe Carimi
The more I read about this move the more I like it, his knee just got to 100% right before the start of last year. I don't think he was in the best shape last year, but should be better this year. Am I saying it's a lock he will be a starter or any value at all, no I'm not. What I am saying is at worst I think he should be a capable backup, better than he was last year, and there is the potential that he could get to a starter level, which would be a steal.

So this signing led to Garrett Reynolds being released saving 1.3 million towards the cap.

Sexy vampires – from Twilight to "True Blood" – are taking over the world, and we've got the photos to prove it! While VILFs (ya know, vampires I'd like to…) may not be anything new (hello, Brad Pitt in Interview With A Vampire), there's no denying that lately we've been bombarded with movies and TV shows featuring smokin' hot vamps.
Twilight can easily be given all the credit for the recent surge in vampire lust, with Robert Pattinson at the helm. HBO quickly jumped on the vamp wagon with "True Blood," the CW followed with "The Vampire Diaries," and screenwriter Diablo Cody didn't waste any time parodying the whole obsession by recruiting vixen Megan Fox for Jennifer's Body. Yep, we're declaring 2009 the Year of the Fanged.
The last three decades have produced plenty of vampires we'd gladly donate our blood to any day, including Salma Hayek, Aaliyah, and Alexander Skarsgard. Check our picks for Hollywood's sexiest neck nibblers below.

The owner of the Cooper River paper mill continues to grow.
Helped by a big recent acquisition and rising prices for its products, KapStone Paper and Packaging Corp. is reporting record third-quarter results. Sales jumped 74 percent to $539 million and net income soared 144 percent to $44 million.
The company's stock was up more than 11 percent this morning, to $50.74.
"The third quarter was an exceptional quarter for KapStone," CEO Roger W. Stone said in a written statement.
The period included the $1.08 billion acquisition of Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging Inc.
Like KapStone, the Washington-based company makes containerboard and corrugated containers, as well as specialty papers, mostly at mills spread over a few Western states.
The newly acquired business added $54 million in operating earnings and $198 million in revenue since the deal closed in July, Stone said.
Northbrook, Ill.-based KapStone also said sales of paper increased 55 percent to 662,000 tons while the average selling price was $57 a ton higher than the third quarter of 2012.
"Our integration of Longview continues on plan," Stone said. "We have now identified $18 million of synergies that should benefit KapStone by the end of 2015. However, more significant than the synergies identified thus far are the substantial benefits from operating efficiencies and capital programs in progress. Looking ahead, we believe we are well-positioned to improve our profitability by benefiting from full quarters of Longview results, strong performance from our legacy operations and robust cash flows."
KapStone acquired its North Charleston paper mill and a Summerville-based lumber and chip mill business from MeadWestvaco Corp. in July 2008.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Fish Better
The end of the rainbow
In Denmark fishing for escaped sea farm rainbows is a welcome activity in more than one way. The sport is good and you help removing the fish from a nature where they do not belong.
But still we do have them, and still a cage occasionally does break open and thousands of fish escape. And when that happens it is time to grab the rod and hit the coast!
The rainbows may be a fun encounter for the fisherman, but regarded as an addition to the fauna of the Baltic Sea, these originally North American fish, are not welcome.
The rainbow is generally not considered to be able to spawn successfully in the Danish streams, but these feisty fish are able to survive well in both salt and fresh water.
And in doing so they occupy precious space from our wild fish, mainly the brown and sea trout and the salmon and mainly in the streams that are few and small in many parts of the country. There is no doubt in my mind that the many large rainbows will compete for space and food and probably also consume eggs from the wild fish during their spawning.
Whether the rainbows spawn or not is not well documented, but if they do, it is with the added risk that they will dig up eggs laid by wild fish earlier in the spawning season.
Not natural
The rainbows are unnatural in many respects. Being a non-indigenous species it has no real place in the eco system other than the one already taken by mainly sea trout, which are mostly wild fish.
Also these fish are behavioural retards, so to speak. They are hatched in tanks, smoltified in the same place and have grown large in big, floating cages where thousands of fish swim in great schools in a very confined space in mid water. There is no bottom (except for the net), no natural obstacles and first and foremost no naatural food items.
The fish are fed with pellets which are sprayed over the surface every day, and these fish are so tuned in on feeding on these sinking lumps, that they seem to have no affinity towards moving prey - or flies - during their first period in the free. A wise fly tier once devised the pellet fly, and that would probably work well on these fish.
When these fish escape it can have many reasons. The cages sometimes just leak and a few fish can sneak out. No big deal. I imagine that many of these singles will just stick to the cages and live a monotonous life just on the other side of the net wall.
But sometimes whole cages break open allowing tonnes of fish numbering thousands to escape. In such cases the fish seem to roam in large schools, and they will eventually get to the shore, which is never far away in the enclosed seas of Denmark. This often happens during the autumn when the sea is rough and the wind can reach high speeds.
The fish are usually big - about 2-3 kilos (4-6 lbs) and well into the 50-60 centimetre or 20-25 inch range. That can be compared to the average 2-3 lbs sea trout that are common on the Danish coast. The rainbows are also fat due to the rich food source in the sea farms.
Was it not for their scars and lack of tails, they would actually be beautiful fish. But just after the escape they are usually still marred by a totally bitten down tail - often none at all - and scars from fights and encounters with each others, the net walls and the cage.
Their looks will improve greatly during an autumn and a winter, and when caught in the spring or summer they are amongst the most beautiful fish in our waters, often rightfully referred to as steelhead.
The beast must die!
Beautiful or not, these fish are killed upon landing. As already mentioned they are not natural in the Danish seas and are not welcome as anything else than a fishers' game.
Even considered as such I personally still find myself in a dilemma between the advantage of being able to catch several prize size fish in the 50-60 cenimetre or 20-24" range in a day, and saving nature the burden of these fish, which no one really knows what will do to the natural sea trout.
So preventing future escapes is important, but when new outbursts of rainbows happen, I will gladly be there to catch them again.
From: Nycflyangler · nycflyangler·at·none.com Link
Submitted August 19th 2009
This is a problem all over. I've read that due to escapee fish, there's now an Alantic Salmon population that runs in rivers on the west coast of North and South America.

Whistler isn't just a worldclass resort, it's also habitat. Foragers know the secret stashes of blueberries, huckleberries, salmonberries and mushrooms, but even without having done an apprenticeship in wild-crafting, visitors can get a sense of the satisfaction that comes from eating fresh food close to its source, as local chefs increasingly shorten the distance between fork and field, unwinding in their own market gardens. Here, we take you on an edible tour of Whistler and it's top-notch tasty herb gardens.
