Question: Can you upgrade Visual Studio 2012 RC to Visual Studio 2012 RTM?
Short Answer: Yes.
I've had several folks ask me about upgrading VS2012 RC to RTM recently. I thought it would be a good idea to review the upgrade paths.
In case you have been living in a cave, we have launched VS2012 RTM already:
Many people think you have to uninstall the RC but that isn't true. You can find the full compatibility and upgrade information here:
Here are the verbatim pieces most relevant to upgrading with non-RTM information removed for clarity:
When following the supported upgrade paths, your Visual Studio source, solution, and project files will continue to work; however, you should expect to make some changes to sources. While we cannot guarantee binary compatibility between releases, we will do our best to document significant changes to assist you with updates.
On the off chance that you have to uninstall the RC you can find the instructions here:
Pay particular attention to the uninstall order if you have multiple VS2012 versions installed. Here is the order (top first, bottom last) to uninstall from the KB article:
I started working with Azure almost five years ago and have been very happy to see it evolve and mature. If you are working with Azure or just learning how to use this offering then you need to start with Clint Edmonson's "Windows Azure Solution Cookbook" found here:
Here is what this is all about in Clint's own words:
"[…] it's hard for architects and developers to get a big picture of the Azure platform and how all the features can be used together to build solutions. Microsoft is shipping new services on a quarterly basis and each new service is designed to solve a particular need our customers are asking for. We need a way to see these services holistically as a set of building blocks or ingredients to use in our solutions. […] In this series going to offer up some architectural recipes to help visualize solutions to the common scenarios we've identified since Azure's launch."
Don't let the "architecture" word fool you. This is an exceptional view into how you can leverage Azure. For example, here is the overview pic that he provides for working with mobile:
Clint goes into clear, precise explanations about how you can achieve these goals. Make sure you take advantage of this most excellent look into using our latest and greatest Azure features.
I love data! And, since I am hyper-focused on all things Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server, I love data about our internal usage of the products we sell to our customers. Make no mistake, we are hard-core users of the same technologies we ask you to use. Case in point is the publishing of our internal TFS statistics. You can find all the good data in the great post by Erin Geaney here:
Make sure check out the stats so you can get a feel for how we use TFS internally at Microsoft!
The folks at Channel9 have created some video shorts on how to use many of the cool new features in Visual Studio 2012. You will most likely encounter links to the videos for the first time when you look at the "How-To Videos" section of the Start Page:
If you want another path to the videos you can find them all here (sorted by overall rating):
Also, links to these videos are now included throughout VS2012 RTM environment. For example, the IntelliTrace Everywhere video is linked inside the IntelliTrace tool window:
Here is the one on IntelliTrace Everywhere video you will see when you click on the link:
Take some time to explore these videos to get insight into ways you can leverage these amazing tools.
I've had a lot of people asking about our famous .NET poster and if there is a version for 4.5 yet. The answer, to my knowledge, is "no". However there IS a really good poster created by Jouni Heikniemi that you can find here:
Grab it and see if you like it as much as I do
Folks, apologies for going dark for a few weeks but I have been heads down in the creation of some new IntelliTrace content. I've put together a set of labs and slide decks that you can use to train yourself and/or train others on how to use this to full advantage. You can find the entire package here:
The contents are built on top of Brian Keller's amazing work with his virtual machine and labs that can be found here:
Here is a quick look at the contents:
· Slide Deck for presenting at an event
· Titles and Abstracts for informing others about the event
· Demo Quick Snippets for use when presenting to cut down on the demonstration time if needed
You can (and should) modify the materials to suit your needs. For example, to put on the one hour version of this session you would need to cut out several slides from the original deck. Feel free to modify as needed for your organization.
· Lab Manual for demonstration or instructor-led lab sessions
· Any supplemental material required to complete the labs including project files
Contents of the Lab Manual
Lab 1: IntelliTrace Events
Lab 2: IntelliTrace with Call Information
Lab 3: Creating Log Files
Lab 4: IntelliTrace CAB
Lab 5: Collection Plans
Lab 6: IntelliTrace Everywhere with ASP.NET
Lab 7: Debugging with IntelliTrace Files
Lab 8: IntelliTrace Everywhere with Other .NET Applications
Lab 9: IntelliTrace Everywhere with Microsoft Test Manager
Lab 10: Configuring Symbols
Lab 11: Using Symbols
· Collection Plans folder with sample collection plans for use with Visual Studio or IntelliTrace Everywhere as indicated by the folder name
· IntelliTrace Everywhere Best Practices document that has a summary of the best practices mentioned in the labs and slide deck
· IntelliTrace configuration tool obtained from http://intellitracecpconfig.codeplex.com/ Included in these materials with permission from the tool's author, Vlatko Ivanovski
Grant Holliday wrote a great blog post a while back that I have been meaning to surface to my readers for some time. If you haven't seen it yet, you can find it here:
Here is the opening paragraph from the post that lays out what Gran is trying to do:
Team Foundation Server 2010 was released in April 2010. Since then, there have been a number of important Service Packs, Cumulative Updates and hotfixes that have been made available based upon internal usage at Microsoft and customer feedback via the support organisation. This blog post is an attempt at bringing together all the updates that are currently available.
He is keeping it updated consistently and you should definitely read this post if you use TFS 2010.
Gartner doesn't allow us to show the famed Magic Quadrant in posts like this but, if you are into these kinds of things, definitely check out how much butt we kicked in this article from them:
Jonah Lehrer the author of "How We Decide" has written an article for the New Yorker showing how people take mental shortcuts to arrive at wrong answers. Most surprisingly was the finding that more intelligent people make this mistake more often than others. You can read the entire article here:
Also, if you haven't read "How We Decide" and are interested in a nice high-level look at the cognitive decision-making process then you should absolutely read this book:
I'll be on vacation until Aug 6th so there will be no posts until the week after I get back. We will resume our regularly scheduled posts at that point :)

Differential blew up
So I found out today the 2005 dodge ram hemi has a peice of crap for a differential/transfer case. Had it out at silver lake sand dunes and it blew up on the exit ramp. Anyone know of a good way to upgrade the used front end I'm getting ready to put in it? If not, I'm trading it in and getting something more durable.
IMHO if you're going to push a pickup hard, getting a 1500 is "like bringing a knife to a gunfight". I've run the bloody mortal hell out of my 1998 2500 4x4 diesel on & off-road & haven't broken anything on it -- Dana 60 front end, Dana 70 rear, etc. -- it was made to carry heavy loads & to be driven off-road. Only major problem I've had is with the blankety-blank Bosch VP44 injector pump that everybody knows about now, but didn't back in 1998 & Dodge changed the fuel system in 2002, so the newer diesels don't have the fuel pump failure problem. To me, a 1500 is a car with a big trunk -- takes a 2500 (or 3500) to really handle hard work / hard play & the diesel models will run circles around the gasoline models while getting much better fuel mileage & lasting a heck of a lot longer too.
I was just wondering were there any signs of your diff blowing up on you? I'm having some problems with my diff too.
Silver Lake!!! I love that place, I go at least 10 times a summer. As for your diff...that sucks
The front diff is a weak point in the 1500s for hardcore offroading, no company will make an aftermarket replacement for it either. Best bet is a 2500 with a solid front axle.
I was just reading your other post on the same subject
so forget what i posted in there
You answered my questions in this post
Randy's Ring & Pinion may have the right answers, as far as what years are interchangeable
i went into their website & it only comes up as a 8 1/4"
i believe the website is wrong, i was thinking it was a 9 1/4" , but i could be incorrect
Wow Art....You sound like a great salesman for Cummins bud. Don't hate on the man for trying with his Ram. Would like to know what caused the blow up though. Did the diff breather hose clog up on the rear diff?
I learned the hard way artNJr... Now i just need to find a replacement pumpkin for it. I'm pulling it out tomorrow after I get back from retuning the trailer tomorrow in Hart.
No there wasn't any signs of it going out... I may have heard a clunk when turning but thought it was a bad tie rod. I think your best bet would be to look at the fluid for any shavings. There is a filler hole on the top you can stick your finger in like a dip stick. Make sure your truck isn't running. Lol
Yea silver lake is freakin awesome!! We go every year...
Right on Gantman... I not sure man. I was on the exit hill in 4hi cuz it was really Peakid all day. Jeeps were getting stuck on it left and right. I took the exit hill just fine earlier in the week. I think it was already going out and that was just the last straw. 156K miles on it and I bought it used last year. I had Joe up at Paul's towing look at it and he said someone has already been in the diff. Not sure if he's correct and the dealership I bought it from failed to tell me or maybe nobody ever changed the diff fluid (which I just learned it needed to be changed at 60k miles. Where could I find a replacement?
I did get a nice pic of the truck on top of a hill at sunset when I took the wife out there to watch it... Lol. That'll prolly be the last time that truck hits the dunes. I'm gonna work on getting 4 seater rail to take up there... Or get a jeep with a hemi in it.

NORMAN, OK - SEPTEMBER 27: NBA player, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder watches a game between the TCU Horned Frogs and the Oklahoma Sooners at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on September 27, 2008 in Norman, Oklahoma. The Sooners defeated the Horned Frogs 35-10. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
Kevin Durant scored 26 points, Russell Westbrook added 23 and the Oklahoma City Thunder overpowered the outmanned Minnesota Timberwolves 106-84 on Wednesday night. After losing its last game on a buzzer-beater against a last-place Washington team saddled by injuries to its three top players, Oklahoma City left nothing to chance with the Timberwolves missing All-Star forward Kevin Love and four others. The Thunder took control with a string of seven straight points early in the second half and stretched their lead to 24 before pulling Durant, Westbrook and the other starters with 5:44 remaining. Alexey Shved scored 18 points for Minnesota, which announced earlier in the day that Love would miss eight to 10 weeks after breaking his right hand for the second time. Nikola Pekovic added 17 points and 10 rebounds in the opener of a four-game road trip for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves were also without guard J.J. Barea (back spasms), who has given the Thunder fits since the West...

London area of Camberwell guide
What to do and where to stay in London's Camberwell neighbourhood
A built-up, poorer part of south London, Camberwell is not bursting with hotels or attractions, although it is home to one of London's most important contemporary art spaces, the South London Gallery. With Camberwell College of Arts next door and King's College Hospital, one of London's largest teaching hospitals, round the corner, the area also attracts lots of wacky art and tired medical students. To the north is Burgess Park, Southwark's largest, which has 46 hectares of green space and includes sports pitches, a cycle track and a fishing lake.

1855 Flying Eagle Cent Pattern, Judd-171a1855 P1C Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-171a, Pollock-196, R.8, PR62 NGC. An eagle flying left dominates the obverse, 13 stars are arranged around the periphery, the date 1855 is below. On the reverse, the denomination ONE CENT is centered within a laurel wreath, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is at the border. Struck in German silver with a plain edge. This piece is similar in composition and weight to the Judd-171a we offered in our October Dallas Auction. The weight of this piece is 116.9 grains, and the composition is 67% copper, 19% nickel, and 14% zinc. The coin in our Dallas Sale was 68/17/15. Like that coin, this one is also softly struck (undoubtedly because of the high nickel content), and there is evidence of die clashing on each side. The surfaces have the appearance of a 1860-1864 copper-nickel cent whose original color has not diminished. The fields are remarkably deep in their reflectivity, especially given the hardness of the nickel alloy. A pair of vertical, dark-colored planchet laminations in the center of the obverse uniquely identify this particular pattern. (PCGS# 11737)

Man...I love your blogs.
Man...I love your blogs.
You've never played the original Red Faction?
You poor poor thing. It's a little too late to go back and try to look at it for what it was at the time, but goddamn...that game was awesome when it came out. Meanwhile, Red Faction II was...*gulp* fine, but it just wasn't the same without the GeoMod stuff. Guerrilla is definitely the pinnacle of the series, though.
Personally, I think Volition is an interesting developer overall. No one has nearly as odd of a portfolio as them.
Curse it all, maybe I was thinking of Red Faction 1 the whole time. I'm going to play both this week and revise what I've written as necessary.
Highlight my dementia, will you Volition? You'll pay for this.
Red Faction 2 was actually a step back as far as environmental destruction. The first game did it much better.
The only people who played as monkeys in Timesplitters sucked at the game.
Red Faction 1 was great, it's so weird it took until Minecraft before people realized digging yourself into an unclimbable hole was a fun gameplay mechanic.
Good job on the resolutions, shoot for the stars, Mento! I liked "My Heart is Oscar Mike," but then you got dark in panel 5, Muscarella dark.
I got a free copy of Saint's Row 2 when I redeemed my SR:3 online pass, so I'll go check it out. I like crazy stuff.
I never really paid attention to Volition until Saint's Row The Third came out, I should probably go fix that now.
@Video_Game_King: I put that there as a resolution I've demonstrably already broken. I need the circle the line tools. Though I could feasibly upgrade to Illustrator, since I hear that's like circle and line tool heaven.
@ShaneDev: The rail gun must've been what I was thinking of. After coming from Perfect Dark and its Farsight, and being a teenager, it probably seemed like the coolest thing ever. Maybe it really was TimeSplitters with the crazy shit. I really should try putting these retrospective articles together after re-playing the games featured.
Man, now I feel like I should apologise to those unmentioned games with the regenerating guns that fire blue shit. Sorry, duders.
I dunno what RF2 you were playing but all the weapons in RF2 were really standard assault rifles, shotguns and rocket launchers. The only interesting thing were the nano weapons which were just standard FPS guns and of them the rail gun was the only really interesting one. Also the Red Faction in RF2 is, I think, totally unrelated to the Mars miners from the first game. I thought it was a pretty good game and better than the first one.
Wait, like draw them with actual paper and a scanner? That oughta be interesting. Oh, and as bad as your hand-drawn dude looks, I've managed to produce worse. Depressingly worse.
So I used to have a feature called "Ten Year Retrospective", where I talked about a company's output since their early PS2 debuts and how they've evolved to the modern day household names we all know and love. The period of time wasn't meant to be deliberate; it was just a happy coincidence that both From Software and Level-5 began their respective empires of cruelty and whimsy around a decade ago. Volition's been around a little longer than ten years though, so I've renamed the feature "Teddy Graham Memories", because I've decided my naming convention for blogs will move from horrible puns to Homestar Runner non-sequiturs. Or I'm suffering some sort of neurological disorder. Draw your own conclusions.
Talking of Volition, something I'll probably be doing for the rest of this blog also, they're the scrappy development studio most famous for the Red Faction and Saints Row franchises. As the developer of Giant Bomb's almost-GOTY last year, I figure they've earned themselves some retrospection. Like always, these features are less an in-depth historical analysis than me simply recalling my own memories and experiences with games from this developer. For the most part I'd say they were positive. But I've got way more words following this paragraph which say pretty much the same thing, if you're interested in reading them. If not, my critically-derided stickpeople comics await you at the end. With their cold dead eyes and pitiless hearts. I bet JC's up to mischief again!
Summoner isn't the first game Volition worked on. That would be the two FreeSpace games, which I'm sure more than a few Giant Bomb peeps remember fondly as one of the last great Space Sim franchises on the PC. I don't know the current state of Space Sims at the moment, but people seem to really like the scope and depth of that S.P.A.Z. game, despite having a title that both namedrops pirates and zombies and has an acronym that belittles the mentally deficient. No wonder it took a while to build up steam.
But we're here to talk about Summoner. In the halcyon days of the PS2, there was a distinct dearth of good RPGs. This was a major issue considering the PS1's success was largely in part to its huge audience of JRPG fans, with games like FF7-9, Grandia, the Suikodens, two Breath of Fires, Xenogears and countless others building a significant fanbase of gamers who like effete duders who wear too many belts for Sony's freshman console.
Inversely, early PS2 adopters got EverGrace, "Orphen: The Scion of Sorcery" (a game I'm somehow physically unable to not put in ironic quotes) and this thing with all the summoning. To be fair, Summoner was probably the highlight of those depressing, barren times. Damning it with faint praise, perhaps, but it was an engrossing if somewhat flawed open-world-ish RPG where you ran around randomly-generated battlefields of monsters, summoning your own while supporting your human companions. Importantly, after the ending credits, you see Volition's earliest example of a burgeoning sense of a humor in a medium that isn't always best known for its comedic chops: Various cutscenes of the game are replicated with hilarious "bloopers". Or "hilarious" bloopers, I forget. These are followed with a bizarrely faithful rendition of the early internet meme skit from the Dead Ale Wives, talking some D&D. At the time I thought it was kind of weird. After twelve years and three Saints Row games, though, it makes perfect sense.
So on closer inspection, it turns out I own and greatly enjoyed the first Red Faction game and rented the sequel for a brief spell and hardly recall a thing about it. Red Faction hit all the consoles of the day, but was more or less ignored on every console except the PS2. Xbox owners already had a space FPS they liked better and no-one paid attention to the GameCube. To their ultimate detriment, I feel, since Pikmin and Chibi Robo might well be the greatest games of that generation. But I digress! So often!
Red Faction details the adventures of a rebellious cadre of Martian miners fighting the oppressive forces of the Earthlings. They think they're so hot because their planet naturally produces air and water and life. The blowhards. This is where we see the other big Volition push: Truly destructible landscapes and all manner of interesting space weapons. As opposed to the usual shotguns and pistols that shoot regenerating blue shit instead of bullets. Not that I'm making any direct comparisons to anything. Importantly, it finally gave PS2 owners a damn
fine okay competitive FPS that didn't involve monkey robots. I actually really enjoyed Red Faction, as I'd already crossed to the "FPS games can be played on consoles too, you guys" camp from many hours of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Main story was okay too. It was promising, is what it was.
Skipping over the first one of these too (generally speaking, Volition rarely gets it right out of the gate), Saints Row 2 remains my favorite Volition game of all time. After following what was a milquetoast and somewhat flagrant attempt to cash in on San Andreas' massive popularity, Saints Row 2 saw what Rockstar did by following up their seminal GTA classic with a slightly more dour tale of morality and filial loyalty and decided they were done imitating. Instead, they went the opposite direction and decided to fully embrace the nutso open-world gangsta turf paradigm of GTA:SA in a game absolutely filled with content. Despite a few missteps, such as making the once entirely optional Activities compulsory to a degree before players could continue with the story, the game has everything you could want in a sandbox. Or toybox. Like that definition is ever going to take off, no matter how hard I push it.
My favorite moments from a game with many of them were the FUZZ activities, where you'd be given vague directions from a TV producer to cause as much horrific and controversial violence as possible to targets as diverse as civil unrest groups, prostitutes and politicians while wearing a police uniform. You certainly don't forget chainsawing your first PETA protest group. Forget fur, now THAT'S murder. Of course, FUZZ's only involvement in SR3 is to provide the description for the challenge where you have to drive in the opposite lane for 200 miles. But I'll discuss that later.
Red Faction: Guerilla was such a departure from Red Faction I & II, but perfectly logical given Volition's new predilection for the open world system. Once again, you're a peeved Martian labourer bringing down the corrupt and listless Earth military-industrial complex. It also has more hammers than Donkey Kong and Wrecking Crew combined (Mario's like the Gabe Newell of hammers), with much of the game's enjoyment derived from smashing through buildings and watching them collapse in on themselves as the physics take over.
I must've spent such a ridiculous amount of time in that game driving along some barren Martian road, spotting some ore crystals in the distance and high-tailing it over for a smashing. In fact, pretty much any non-smashed object on the horizon was a distraction. I had become a force of destructive nature, the antithesis to man's hubristic notion that it could conquer the final frontier. If it bleeds, I could kill it; if by "kill" I mean "smash" and by "bleeds" I mean "was beholden to the game's physics engine".
Guerilla was perhaps the peak on the sad bell curve the Red Faction franchise currently evolved into. But that's something else I'll discuss later. Or now, even.
So 2011 was an interesting year for Volition. Despite having two major titles from established franchises that would presumably sell like hotcakes, its parent company THQ is looking at some dire sale numbers. While Volition could be blamed for Red Faction: Armageddon not selling too well (the reason being because it sucked), Saints Row: The Third is a little less explicable. While I didn't particularly appreciate the changes made, specifically what was taken out rather than the fine content added in, it was a game I could still happily recommend to anyone. As did Giant Bomb, in fact, and no doubt many other institutions with far more sway over consumers than little old me. So what gives?
It'll be interesting to see how future Red Faction and Saints Row games turn out. Will they still have the same staff, given current events? Will they build on the most recent iterations of those franchises, or revert to their (subjectively) superior forebears? Regardless, I'll be playing their Guillermo del Toro collaboration inSANE and anything else that comes from their vaunted halls of madness, violence and frivolity in the years to come. They've earned that much from me, at least.

Teens who abuse their girlfriends or boyfriends do the same things as adults who abuse their partners. Teen dating violence is just as serious as adult domestic violence. And it's common. About 2 in 10 teen girls say they have been physically or sexually abused by a dating partner. About 1 in 10 teen boys report abuse in dating relationships.10
In adult domestic violence, women are more often the victim. In teen
relationship abuse, both boys and girls report abuse about equally.11 But boys tend to start the violence more often and use
greater force.11
Abusive relationships have good times and bad times. Part of what makes dating violence so confusing is that there is love mixed with the abuse. This can make it hard to tell if you're really being abused. If you're not sure, see Signs of Domestic Violence.
You deserve to be treated in a loving, respectful way at all times by your boyfriend or girlfriend.
Ask yourself these questions. Does your boyfriend or girlfriend:
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be in an abusive relationship. Talk to your parents or another adult
family member, a school counselor, or teacher. Or you can get help from the National Domestic
Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233) or go to www.thehotline.org or the National Teen Dating Abuse Hotline at 1-866-331-9474 (www.loveisrespect.org).
Remember, you're not alone. Talking really does help. And without help, the violence will only get worse.

eyeBALL - think of, or draw in the sphere of the eye, then cover it over with actual bits of flesh. It helps to think of the pieces in all dimensions.
March 3rd, 2008 #3
Hmm, good start
It seems i just posted something recently that would be of help here......
Ah, found it, from Andrew Loomis's book "Drawing the Head and Hands"
Attachment 314928
Attachment 314929
As minigoth said, think of the lids wrapping around the ball of the eye. Also, the Iris (colored part of the eye) is too large. Rule of thumb is that you should be able to fit three irises across the width of the eyeball.
Also try and show the thickness of the lids, especially the bottom one, as it tends to catch light.
Hope this helps!
...my humble and uneducated opinion.

Critique my horses! (:
First one is my 17yr old 15hh paint mare, Teega. She's pretty fat right now, but I like her plump, then I never have to worry about her through winter (;
^Squared up
^First ride (:
Alrighty there are a few, will get some better ones later on too.
Next is my 21yr old 15.2hh arabian gelding, KC. He is gaining weight back right now. Yes I know the pictures SUCK, but I'm working on getting better ones when I go out there Thursday.
^Hanging out eating his beet pulp/weight gain
^Kind of squared up
^Other side, squared up
^Just because I can't resist his face (;
And thirdly is my mini mare, Splash's Dots and Dashes aka Splash. She's 12yrs old and 35.25" tall, and definitely a stock type mini, no doubts there.
^Side pic
^Other side pic
That's pretty much it for my pictures on my babies for now. I will get some better ones this week if the weather permits. Be as honest as possible, their flaws are obviously overlooked because they're my babies, and I love the heck out of them (;
First mare has a slightly upright shoulder.
Not a bad neck.
Front legs look good.
Back may be just a tad long and is a little swayed with age.
Nice hindquarters.
Back legs appear to be a little posty.
The Arab has a decent shoulder.
Nice depth of girth and good front legs.
back is a lacking in muscle, but that comes with age in many horses.
Back's a bit long and croup is flat.
Again, posty in the back legs.
the mini's got a nice shoulder and thick neck,
Hard to say about the front legs because of all the fluff. Possibly over at the knee.
A little high in the wither.
Nice bum.
Can't really say much about the hind legs either but they look ok in those pictures. Nothing glaringly off anyhow.
A nice trio of horses.
Thank you (:
Come on people I need some critique here (:

I think I have a good sense of humor and I'm a good listener. I'm most proud of the fact that I've traveled a lot around the world and have experienced different cultures. I'm well educated with a master's degree. I'm grateful for my house, my car, my health, my job, my parents and my sister, my brother-in-law and my niece. I'm hoping to attract someone who is honest and caring and enjoys some of the same things I do. My social life revolves around my teaching job and my part-time job which is to write articles for a local newspaper. I spend time with other fellow teachers from my school. There's no telling what will make me laugh out loud, it could be anything. My students seem to know the answer every day though. I'm looking for someone in a relationship that is willing to be my best friend and more plus, as I said before, someone that has the same interests. I'm most passionate in life about my job I think. I really strive to do a good job, getting there early every day, making sure I'm reliable and can be counted on. I'm always willing to do new things! I want someone that wants to spend time with me, I like going out to new restaraunts, someone I can go see a movie with but also someone who's willing to stay inside and catch a movie or something! I've traveled plenty of places but would really like someone to share those experiences with! I want someone who is intelligent and thoughtful!

CAP is committed to planning for the future to fullfill it's vision to be a collaborative, innovative leader in the management and the delivery of water to Central Arizona.
Recovery Planning - Since its inception in 1996, the Arizona Water Banking Authority (AWBA), in partnership with CAWCD, has stored excess CAP water within Arizona. The primary purpose for this storage has been to meet AWBA's firming obligations and to comply with the terms of an interstate storage agreement between AWBA and the Southern Nevada Water Authority. This water has been stored in underground storage and groundwater savings facilities throughout the CAP service area. By statute and agreement, CAWCD is responsible for recovery of the stored water to satisfy interstate storage agreements and to supplement CAP M&I subcontracts when there is a shortage in Colorado River water supplies.

Product: Duramaxtuner.com Custom-Tuned ECM
Bang-for-Buck Factor: The popularity of EFILive has grown immensely in the Duramax community in the past few years. Allowing users access and adjustability to an extensive list of parameters has given tuners the opportunity to really delve into the factory computer and develop some pretty amazing tunes. While EFILive has opened many doors, the average person with no knowledge or interest in writing custom files may not be willing to start messing with calibrations that if adjusted wrong, could end with a $60,000 paper weight in the driveway.
Nick Priegnitz, of Duramaxtuner.com, has been developing EFILive tunes for everything from stock trucks to 1,000-plus horsepower dyno killers and saw an opportunity to offer customers the advantages in drivability and power provided by the software without having to spend hours on a dyno or months learning the program to optimize calibrations. Custom tuning often comes with the price of a king's ransom, but Duramaxtuner.com has affordable options for stock and mildly modified Duramax engines.
For $375, customers running a stock turbo and transmission combination can visit Duramaxtuner.com and fill out a form that includes VIN, tire size, and current modifications. To keep downtime to a minimum, once the form is completed and everything is paid for, Duramaxtuner.com will send the customer an ECM pre-programmed with a Tow tune that boosts RWHP by 50 as well as add a turbine brake using the factory VNT turbo, a Sport/Economy tune for maximized fuel economy along with 90 additional ponies at the rear wheel and a DSP2 switch to allow on-the-fly file changes.
If you're looking for more power and have some extra coin to spend, for $499, Duramaxtuner.com offers a pre-programmed ECM that comes with s DSP5 switch and five different tunes. For LB7 and LLY owners, the five tunes typically include a stock tune optimized for economy, heavy tow tune for towing more than 8,000 pounds with an extra 40 horsepower, a 60-horse light tow tune for loads less than 8,000 pounds along with turbine brake for 2005-and-newer trucks, and the 80-horse Sport tune for everyday drivability.
Finally, the fifth spot is reserved for the big 100HP Stock Trans Race tune, which Duramaxtuner.com warns, "If this tune is abused it will shorten parts life. Run when you know you're ready to build your trans and don't expect the stock trans to live forever with this tune." The Duramaxtuner.com DSP5 for LBZ and LMM trucks has five similar tunes, with gains of 60hp (Heavy Tow), 80hp (Light Tow), 100hp (Sport) and 130hp (Race). Naturally, a disclaimer warning that extended use may grenade a transmission under extended use was enough to convince us spending an extra $125 was a must.
Combined with the K&N intake we installed on the LBZ and straight-pipe we had Ranch Muffler install on Budget Bowtie, the Druamaxtuner.com turned up all the way put down 413.3 peak horsepower at the rear wheels on one of the area's stingiest dynos right after the pre-programmed ECM was installed. Expecting bigger numbers, we drove around for a few days on the Race tune to give the computer some learn time. We also went to a different facility with a Superflow dyno and an operator very familiar with strapping diesels to the rollers. Three runs later, peak rear-wheel horsepower numbers registered 434.4, 437.6 and 436.9.
Power is only part of the story. On the Sport tune, mileage increased by 2.1 mpg during testing. Through the different Duramax combinations we've tested through the years we've learned that the Allison doesn't always get along with aftermarket programs. Running the Duramaxtuner.com ECM, the transmission shifts remained smooth under normal acceleration, stiffened the more you got into it and didn't send the Allison hunting between gears. We didn't have a chance to really load up and fully test the tow tunes, although we did enjoy the added turbine brake with about 4,000 pounds behind the Chevy. And if we decide to upgrade the tranny and turbo in the future, Duramaxtuner.com will send updated programs for a fee.
Product: K&N FIPK Intake
Bang-For-Buck Factor: A turbocharger can only compress the air it receives. If an air filter is dirty or its path to the charger is filled with kinks and obstructions, airflow and power suffer. While increases in airflow are typically accompanied with increases in power, the cooler the air and the more of it a diesel gets will also effect EGTs. With two huge upsides and not a huge price, installing an air intake is one of the first modifications many truck owners perform.
Making power on a budget and being cheap are two different things. Cheap is disregarding things like how much dirt an air filter blocks from getting to the engine and its actual design in favor an online knockoff strictly because of price. Budget is more about making a smart purchase where you might be paying a little or a lot more upfront because it has short- and long-term benefits. It doesn't get much more long-term than the 1-million-mile warranty offered by K&N Filters, leading us to order one of its FIPK performance kits for Budget Bowtie.
The FIPK for the 2500HD features a high-flow air filter can be removed and cleaned rather than replaced like the factory filter. At about $40 every factory air filter change, if the Duramax is in service long enough then the K&N intake will eventually end up paying for itself. K&N has also done its own testing to show that by installing only the intake on an LBZ, gains at the rear wheels usually come in about 15 horsepower.
Legality is becoming an issue diesel owners must face. The Duramax FIPK from K&N is one of the first air intakes on the market to receive an emissions exemption under new testing standards, meaning that when it comes time to smog the California-based truck, it's not going to fail when the tech sees the upgrade.
Budget Bowtie is still under warranty and the owner was worried about voiding it, making K&N's Consumer Protection Pledge appealing to him. In a nutshell, the Pledge says that if a dealer tries to void a warranty based on the installation of a K&N filter without proving the part was responsible for the failure, K&N has a program to protect its customers. So, for about $325, the FIPK from K&N should provide an increase in power, we'll never have to buy an air filter again, it's legal and if a dealer tries to pull a fast one, K&N will be in our corner, which makes it a smart buy for the budget-conscious.

Product: Straight-Pipe and Ranch Muffler Exhaust Tip
Bang-For-Buck Factor: In a perfect world, everyone would be able to buy cat-back systems with stainless mandrel-bent piping polished to a mirror-like finish. Sadly it's not. But when exhausts are concerned, second to only the catalytic converter, the muffler is the biggest source of restriction in the factory system. Budget Bowtie is all about saving pennies while searching for performance. To unlock a few extra ponies, we had Ranch Muffler in Temecula, Calif. remove the muffler in favor of a straight-pipe.
Theoretically, unless a high-flow muffler can create some sort of scavenging effect to suck air through pipes, everything else identical, the closest they can come to a straight pipe in terms of airflow is to equal it. That meant strictly for performance, we felt like we were getting a bargain with the pipe Ranch Muffler welded in place. Exhaust fumes need to somehow get in and out of the muffler and that is where we knew we'd have to compromise in performance versus a quality mandrel-bent aftermarket system that replaces all of the piping with larger diameter tubing a smoother-flowing bends.
We were feeling so good, we had Ranch Muffler go ahead and weld on one of its new 4-inch black tips. The tips are available in four different sizes and with the Pechanga reservation a few miles away, the black tip with polished feathers is one of Ranch Muffler's hottest sellers. The nautical star and iron cross designs were cool, too, but we opted for the simple black finish to match what we had planned for the outside of Budget Bowtie. Although the tips are available in bolt-on, we had them weld it on to ward off the local hooligans and drove off with a new sound not even $200 lighter.
Performance was great; the extra pick-me-up was welcomed and we managed to shave about 0.07 second off 0-to-60 acceleration times. We even picked up 0.8 miles a gallon with the straight-pipe in place. <Be warned:> While a straight-pipe is awesome for inexpensive performance gains, it isn't a <muffler,> meaning it does nothing to control sound. Not only did it make Budget Bowtie louder outside of the truck, it also amplified things inside the cab. Although it wasn't unbearable, the drone at highway speeds was annoying enough for us to not rule out a full aftermarket turbo-back in the near future.

Pure Power! Lifetime Filters
At first, budget, a Pure Power! lifetime fuel filter that retails for $299.95 and oil filter that retails for $239.95 don't go together. Do the math, though, and things start to change. Figure a decent replacement fuel filter for the Duramax costs $50. Say you're one of those daring folks that stretches out fuel filter changes to 15,000 miles. By the time the truck has 80,000 miles on it, the Pure Power! Lifetime filter will have paid for itself. If you change filters every 10,000 miles, that goes down to 60,000 miles. Oil filters are less expensive, but in less than 200,000 that Pure Power! filter will pay itself off as well.
That's not even taking into account testing done by independent laboratories that Pure Power! says shows that its filters have 90-percent improved particle removal down to 1 to 2 microns. Or that every filter you don't have to throw away is one less in a landfill. Pure Power! also makes its filters in the U.S. and precision-machines its filters from billet aluminum and uses exotic materials like Mil-Spec Viton O-rings on all sealing surfaces and neodymium magnets.

Thinking Ahead With Optima
Nobody ever plans for a battery to die. Sometimes they don't even let you know you're one crank of they key away from being stranded. It's rarely budgeted for and for bargain hunters, the urgency doesn't allow for a lot of time to compare prices. We've made the mistake all too many times and paid too much for off-brand battery that lasts maybe six months. We finally thought ahead and set Budget Bow Tie up with a pair of Yellow Top Optima batteries.
For $215 a piece, we ordered dual-post 38/78 Yellow Tops in hopes to someday use the top posts for a bangin' stereo system within the 36-month free replacement period the 750-CCA batteries are covered. That's three years the Chevy is guaranteed reliable starting from a maintenance-free, vibration-resistant battery with Spiralcell technology.

Job Recurring changed to No and Job selection list cleared
1st issue:
I currently have several jobs running/created by one policy.
I have a disk to disk job running M-Th (incremental), then a Disk to Disk running on Fri (Full), and then Disk to Tape running on the weekend (full duplicate).
One job out of all failed to run this weekend for some reason. After digging around, i noticed that the Job Recurring category for this job was set to No.
All the other jobs created via policy the same policy were still set to Yes.
I can recreate this job easily via policy, but i wanted to know what the reason for this change if possible.
2nd issue:
Last week, 4 out of 5 jobs selection lists were cleared for some reason.
The policy i have for these is the same as mentioned above.
I noticed this issue becuase most of the jobs failed over that weekend. (the full duplicates, disk to tape).
When looking at those disk to tape jobs in the job setup tab, the selection lists were blank.
Could these issues be becuase of an issue with backup exec? anyone recemmond reinstalling or anything?
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I would suggest running a repair through add and remove programs.
if that doesnt help there might be some kind of corruption in the selection list so yes recreating your selection lists would be called for
also make sure all the Live updates are run on the Media Server with the agent pushed out to the remote servers.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 3/27/13
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Though Cody Ross took a step in his rehab of a calf injury Tuesday, the Diamondbacks outfielder will likely open the season on the disabled list, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson confirmed. "I'd rather (do that) than him push it and injure himself for six to eight weeks," Gibson said. "Let's get it right. If we have to DL him to do that, then it's certainly he an option." An MRI on March 4 revealed a strained soleus muscle in Ross's left calf. The D-backs shut him down from any running for two weeks before letting him start working on a weight-bearing treadmill. Ross progressed slowly, Gibson said, and it has become increasingly apparent he would not be ready to play on Opening Day. Ross could progress this week to a point where he feels capable of starting the season on the big league roster, but the D-backs are choosing to err on the side of caution. With projected center fielder Adam Eaton out six to eight weeks with a sprained left ulnar collateral ligament, t...

Chapel Hill, N.C., March 6, 2007-Pozen Inc. (NASDAQ: POZN), today announced top-line results of its "Safer Aspirin" PA 325 proof-of-concept study conducted during the fourth quarter of 2006. PA 325 is a patented formulation of 325mg of aspirin surrounded by a 20mg coating of an immediate release formulation of a proton pump inhibitor.
The PA 325, 28 day study, involved two groups of 40 subjects over the age of 50. Each subject was treated with either once a day commercially available enteric coated aspirin 325mg or PA 325. The primary endpoint was gastrointestinal damage as measured by the Lanza scoring system used in our previous PN studies. The results were highly significant with 10 percent of the PA group having Lanza 3 or 4 gastrointestinal damage, whereas 57.5percent of the enteric coated aspirin group had this level of gastrointestinal damage. Furthermore, no ulcers were seen in the PA group, while 20 percent of subjects in the enteric coated aspirin 325mg group developed a gastric ulcer during the study. This difference was also statistically significant.
Dr. John R. Plachetka, chairman, president and chief executive officer stated, "The data from this first clinical study with PA 325 is very encouraging."

Archival Paper Tape Reading Project for CSIRAC 12 Hole Paper Tapes
Image: 12 hole paper tape close-up
Source: Museum Victoria
The CSIRAC History Team has produced and used equipment to read CSIRAC 12 hole paper tapes.
CSIRAC had paper tape readers, which would require a lot of work to activate again, with not a high expectation of success. The History Team decided to develop a 'post-CSIRAC' paper reader.
The project to re-construct the CSIRAC music was a major stimulus for the construction of a system to read CSIRAC paper tapes. The equipment was used by Ron Bowles, Paul Doornbusch, John Horvath, Jurij Semkiw and John Spencer during the project to recreate the music.
Some of the 12-hole paper tapes (including the music tapes) were read during June-October 1998, but the majority of the tapes were read between April 1999 and May 2000. The music resurrection project ran from about September 1998 to April 2000.
The program used to read tapes has a Test Facility built into it. The Test Facility requires a tape be loaded for testing. Tape T 916 was chosen. The test needs to be carried out frequently to ensure that the tapes are being read correctly.
The project required a long program. John Horvath chose T 916 because it was long and its purpose and creator were not known. Meaning if it were damaged, it would not matter. There was a high probability that the tape would be damaged, as it was used many times for testing. It is difficult to work out what T 916 did because it is in assembly code.
The items used to read the tapes were an Apple printer and a Toshiba laptop Model # T1200. The printer was converted to read CSIRAC 12 hole paper tape via a parallel interface to the Toshiba laptop. It was converted by Jurij Semkiw and John Horvath, University of Melbourne. The laptop was used to drive the converted Apple printer to read 12 hole paper tapes and store the data on 3½ inch floppy disks. The software was written by John Horvath, University of Melbourne. The resulting Hex files were converted to CVT format for use with the CSIRAC emulator. TSP (list) files were also created, this work was completed by John Spencer.
The reading of a paper tape required a mechanism for advancing the tape in a controlled manner and a means of reading the holes on the tape. The Apple printer platen was used to advance the tape, under control of the software (written by John Horvath) executed on the Toshiba Laptop computer. The holes in the tape were detected photo electrically with a light detection system mounted on the printer.
The techniques
The following outlines the techniques used to archive historical computer paper tape data that was used exclusively with the CSIRAC computing system.
From a historical viewpoint, it was deemed imperative to preserve the programs and data that were stored on the last remaining paper tapes used with the historic CSIRAC computer, which were deteriorating with the passage of time. It was therefore decided to convert the tape data into electronic form. The expertise of the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Melbourne was called upon to perform this task. The Department's in-house Technical Services Group was charged with designing the necessary hardware and software solution to this problem.
From the outset, it was discovered that the mechanical tape reading mechanism was the principle challenge and, after several prototypes were evaluated, the decision was made to utilise a spare (original) tape reading mechanism in the final design solution. In collaboration with Jurij Semkiw, a novel solution was devised using a linear array of light emitting diodes (LED) and phototransistor detectors that were arranged in optical alignment corresponding to a row of punched hole data as occurred on the CSIRAC paper tapes to be recorded. The phototransistor detectors were coupled to the mechanical tape reading mechanism by way of short optical fibres as their physical size precluded them from being directly mounted on the tape read head mechanism due to the close spacing of the individual punch holes on the paper tapes. The LED light sources were directly attached to the original tape reading head mechanism. A parallel data latching circuit was designed to capture the sensed binary logic levels present on the phototransistor detectors as the punched paper tape traversed through the tape reading mechanism.
The data latching circuit was controlled by a laptop computer and featured a parallel data interface that enabled the latched (captured) data to be read and stored by the laptop computer, via its parallel printer port, a line at a time. This same computer also controlled the feed motion of the paper tape through the tape reading mechanism by way of microstepping the paper feed mechanism of an Apple Imagewriter dot matrix printer which was incorporated into the paper tape feed path in the tape reading design solution. It did this by sending special serial port motion control commands to the printer.
In essence, the tape reading software optically sensed the changing state of the timing track holes on the paper tapes and controlled the printer-driven tape feed mechanism so as to position the tape ?data? holes precisely under the phototransistor detectors in a rudimentary opto-mechanical feedback system.
Two programs (one authored in the C programming language) were written specifically for the initial capture of CSIRAC paper tape data. The first program concerned itself with controlling the tape reader electronic interface and paper feed mechanism and capturing the raw tape data as detected by the phototransistors in the tape reading mechanism. It used a memory buffering technique to improve realtime data capture performance and saved this data in an MS-DOS formatted file.
The second program converted the raw captured tape data into a more convenient and human-readable form, consistent with the instruction and data formats of CSIRAC's instruction set as specified by John Spencer. This second program was manually executed on a Unix host computer and necessitated the frequent upload of raw captured data from the tape reading control laptop computer.
Samples of converted data were later used by John Spencer in the development of his CSIRAC emulator software. A sample of the decoded output format produced by this second conversion program is presented in file T712A_CVT.txt. Not only did this project fulfil the primary requirements of preserving the original CSIRAC tape data for later study, it also enabled a novel visual demonstration of CSIRAC program execution to be realised by way of a CSIRAC emulator created by John Spencer.
John was an original programmer of CSIRAC in its heyday and provided valuable input during the development of this project. A demonstration of his emulator can be seen at: http://www.csse.unimelb.edu.au/dept/about/csirac/emulator.html
Note: The tape data capture program is called reader.exe (MS-DOS executable) and was compiled from the source files reader.c and reader.h using Borland Turbo C++. Note: the lookup table data in the header file reader.h (used by the reader program to ?invert?, or flip, the read binary tape data values) was generated with the program tablegen (UNIX executable) and was compiled from the included source file tablegen.c using the GCC compiler. The second post-processing raw data conversion program is called convert (UNIX executable) and was compiled from the source file convert.c using the GCC compiler.
