Bogota, a capital city and the Salt Cathedral
I have traveled to Bogotá on many occasions for business, and it is one of my favorite cities - vibrant, engaging, sophisticated, and quite cosmopolitan. This time, even though I would need to take care of some work tasks, I was looking forward to have a more low key and everyday experience.
I had initially only planned to stay three days, but because Colombia, in order to promote internal/national tourism, put in place a law several years ago that moves nearly all holidays to Monday, allowing for long 3-day weekends. My timing had me arriving the Friday evening before the long weekend, so I ended up staying until Wednesday morning of the next week.
A good friend of mine would be putting me up, so that would give me a chance to meet some of her social circle and see a different perspective of the city.
The first order of business upon my arrival was to take care of one the more important parts of the time in Bogota - attack a Todo Terreno burger from El Corral.
This is hands down my favorite burger. El Corral is a national chain in Colombia, and although it is considered fast food they make your burger to order. Colombia also has this very cool concept of Gourmet versions of some of their traditionally fast food restaurants, with a more upscale setup and a more widely varied menu. This concept has been so popular, that even McDonalds had to adapt and setup one of these Gourmet versions of their restaurant.
One of the great places to visit and just people watch while enjoying a coffee, or in my case, a Todo Terreno, is the Parque de la 93 - located, as you might expect, on 93rd street. Bogotá is setup as a grid with numbered Calles and Carreras, so getting around and finding addresses is quite easy.
While I was eating, I tried to get a hold of my lawyer, as there were some amendments to the business, but as luck would have it, she was likely already in long weekend mode and was not able to get a hold of her until the following Tuesday. That evening I would arrive at my friend's Talia's place to meet her and her friend Andres for lively conversation and share a pizza before crashing after a long day or riding.
The next day, it was time to play tourist, so I headed to the nearby town of Zipaquira to visit the Salt Cathedral. This is an amazing undertaking, carving out a massive Cathedral out of a salt mine inside the mountain. This is only one of two in the world. The other one is in the Czech Republic.
When you first arrive you are taken into the mountain through the main entrance through a gradual slope towards a long passageway where the stations of the cross on either side. Each station is setup as a small chapel with individual design aspects.
One themes that continues throughout is that each cross is deeper, showing the Christ's increased pain as you move through the Passion.
After you complete the stations you arrive at the Cathedral's two chapels and the main nave - 16 meters tall x 8 wide x 200 deep. Impressive!
The visual effect of the cross above the altar is incredible. It is actually carved out of the back wall in a negative space, but the way it is lit it appears to float in front of the wall. The side columns are massive, also carved out of the mine's salt rock. To the left of the nave is one of the baptism chapel where a large salt waterfall was created through running a small runoff that has allowed the above rock to dissolve and the salt reconstitutes itself once the water evaporates.
A vehicle access is available on the far right-hand side of the main entrance, where the bride lucky enough to marry inside this underground cathedral arrives. There are also a number of shops, a theater that explains the history of the salt deposits formation. Another new and pretty spectacular feature of the cathedral is a scenic wall that is being slowly carved in various stages of nature and some of the native peoples of the region who first started cultivating the salt from the rock as one of the currencies used at the time.
This here is a polished dome about 10 meters in diameter in a central chamber before you walk down to the cathedral's nave.
The Process
This cathedral touted as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World is definitely a site to check out while in Bogota!
Sunday was a day for chillaxing. I went for a long walk around the city, enjoying the quite tranquility. Sunday's are slow days in the city where one of the main thoroughfares is converted into a pedestrian, runner, and cyclist avenue that crosses nearly the entire city. I enjoyed looking at the varied architecture, from smaller Swiss-German cottages to large steel and glass high-rises.
The old process of extracting salt from the mine was to drop in ore into large concrete lined wells, fill them with water, and the bottom was lined with wood beams that would let the salt water filter through.
The water would then be*siphoned*into a processing pool to begin to evaporate the water and complete the extraction process.
The center square is also quite beautiful.
That evening I met some friends at the Irish Pub in the Zona T for an evening of discussion on international finance, comparative development policies, and today's political situation in Colombia.
It was quite stimulating, especially with some great Belgian beers keeping the conversation company.
I had been reading a great book titled Out of Captivity that tells the story of three US Contractors that were captured by the FARC after their surveillance plane crashes in the Colombian mountains. They were finally released after five years in captivity. It is an amazing story and certainly gave me some interesting insight to share during our conversation that evening.
The next day Talia and Andres took me out to eat fritanga, a wide assortment of typical dishes, to a place in the outskirts the city. Similar to a buffet, you walk through a number of stations and pick and chose what you want, but the portion sizes are huge, even when you plan to share. It's all placed inside a single flatten basket lined with deli paper.
The food was amazing and plentiful. I particularly like the spice of the meat. Tender, juicy, flavorful.
The next day I dropped the bike off at the Triumph dealership for its scheduled service and the rest of my time was dedicated to work. I met my colleague Camilo to review the portfolio of potential ERP clients in Colombia. That rolled into the meeting with the lawyer to look over the company's charter, and I closed the day with meeting Marla, a new hire who brings a great deal of accounting and finance experience into the ERP business unit. It has been very interesting to have these work interludes while on travel. The next one I'll have will not be until Popayan in a few weeks where we will have the project launch event with a local pharmacy chain.
As a side note, the Triumph dealership in Bogota is fantastic. Its the regional training center for Latin America. All mechanics travel to Bogota for training and certification on Triumph motorcycles. That speaks volumes on the quality and preparations of the staff. And the service is top notch. Rodrigo Sanchez, the business manager, was very welcoming and genuinely interested in my travels and wanted to be sure that the bike would continue to perform in top form. If you are on a Triumph, even if you're not in need of service you should stop by and say hello. Great people!

Briefly: Apple TV now in India, ToolsOnAir updates
updated 12:10 pm EST, Tue February 19, 2013
Apple TV brought to Indian market
Although it was launched in the US nearly one year ago, the Apple TV is just now officially being launched in India. As ThinkDigit reports, the Apple TV can now be found on Apple's India website listed under the iPod section. The media stream box retails for Rs. 7900, or about $146 and competes with a number of other HD media players in the Indian market including the WD Live HD, Asus O! Play Mini and the Amkette Flash TV HD. An Apple India representative also spoke with ThinkDigit regarding the release and suggested that Apple is also looking to partner with Indian content providers in order to provide content streaming services similar to Netflix and Hulu Plus in the US.
ToolsOnAir updates just:play and just:live
ToolsOnAir has released updated versions of its just:play and just:live video playback software. New features in v1.7.1 include support for the new Mac Mini's integrated Intel HD graphics 4000, including rendering of complex real-time graphics. Support is also included for Blackmagic Designs' UltraStudio Mini Monitor Thunderbolt device. Other changes include the implementation of a new Spotlight-like help function, an improved master time sync mode, enhanced handing of the default gap playlist, and a new Superuser client option.

I didn't get a chance to physically inspect the bike, but I suspect the coolant in the oil is due to either a leaking waterpump seal as disclosed or worse case scenario corrosion in the magnesium cases which was common in the Beta Zero. The PO got the bike from the original owner, but gave up on keeping it since he couldn't remove the waterrpump impeller to replace the waterpump seal. I spoke to Mike Komer at the Tryals Shop; Scott Armstrong at Moto Connection; and the original importer: Ron Commo at RCS Racing to get information on the Beta Zero and source the parts:
1. No problem getting the $11 waterpump seal. It's an odd design 10x18x5/8 with a raised edge. Common on many Italian makes.
2. NOS Replacement cases in Aluminium may still be available from Beta in Italy: ~$480 The corrosion prone magnesium cases were replaced in the 1994 Beta Techno.
3, Rear brake caliper and master cylinder rebuild kit. The rear brakes weren't working.
4. A hydraulic clutch conversion use to be available. Maybe the
Magura Hymec
conversion kit available from
Keith at ADB
would work.
5. Early Beta aluminium frames but frame cracks.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 3/22/13
Landon Donovan, currently on an organized soccer sabbatical, was spotted in Middleton, Wis., this week playing pickup soccer at an indoor facility and wearing a University of Wisconsin soccer T-shirt. This isn't the first time Donovan has visited the Madison area to play some soccer he dropped by in December 2011 but when combined with the shorthanded squad in Denver, his appearance does draw attention. According to Wisconsin Soccer Central, Donovan's connection to the area stems from his older brother Joshua Dilberto, a Madison resident. The United States' all-time leader in goals and assists took time to sign autographs and pose for pictures afterward, and Wisconsin football strength and conditioning coach Brian Bott tweeted a picture with Donovan on Friday. Donovan, 31, took an extended leave of absence in November after winning his second consecutive MLS Cup title with the Los Angeles Galaxy. He is expected to return to his team next week and travel to the White House, where t...

Great Customer Service, wonderful job! We purchased a used car for our daughter which had previously been owned by a heavy, HEAVY, smoker. Without a personal reference for an auto detailer, we relied on a Google search to find a local detailing company who could remove the odor.
I was most impressed with B & B Mobile Detailing for several reasons. The staff was super courteous and congenial, prompt, and most importantly, thorough!
After the work was completed, I received a follow up call the next day to ensure that we were satifised with the smoke removal. As I mentioned, the smoke smell was very strong; I felt that even after treatment, the smell was still somewhat lingering, although much imrovement was made. Anthony immediately scheduled a convenient time with me to return and take further action on the vehicle (no additional cost to me).
Mission accomplished!
I was so impressed that I scheduled a full detail for my vehicle, which was performed yesterday. They do a wonderful job and are very concerned that the customer's expectations are met.
I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a great detailer.
Did I mention the staff is super courteous and friendly? In a society where subpar customer service seems to be the norm, this company really stands out, providing good, old fashioned great customer service!
Give them a call!

We are very pleased with the detailing that B&B did on our SUV......Looks and smells like a new car again.......Love it and will recommend him to all of our friends and family. Thanks

Me and my husband had B &B detail both our cars this past weekend. Let me just say "WOW" they looked amazing, they even steamed and conditioned my husbands leather interior. Both cars looked like they has just rolled off a show room floor. I have a 5yr old and my cloth seats were a mess, but they got out all the stains. We were so impressed, i set up a standing appointment for every 3 months. I will definitly be reccommending B & B to everyone we know. Thanks B&B!

B&B is really well known and respected in the detail industry. They are very knowledgeable at what they do! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch detail. There customer relationship is fantastic !
Posted on 07/14/11
B&B came out and detailed my 18 year old truck and it looks great! Anthony and Joel were on time, courteous, very professional, and took the time to make the old truck look like new again, despite the 90+ degree heat. I'm going to get them back again in a couple of weeks to do my wife's car. I highly recommend them.
Great work! Highly Recommend
My car is so clean after the interior detail that Anthony did. I was highly impressed by the thorough cleaning. He even told me to let him know if I noticed anything he missed. I definitely did not find anything that needed to be any better. I wasn't able to have the exterior cleaned but will definitely be scheduling that as soon as possible! Thanks for a great job!!!

A familiar fallacy in philosophy comes to us in the traditional Latin form, post hoc ergo propter hoc—"After this, therefore because of this." Most people intuitively understand the weakness of the inference, even if they're not logicians.
A trickier notion, lacking a canonical Latin phrase, is: "After this, therefore better than this." Try that one on the folks sleeping outside Apple stores when the newest iPad or iPhone is about to

San Leandro Unified School District
San Leandro Unified School District
We've had a terrible last two years, with both me and husband having periods of unemployment, health issues, and losing our house. Somehow, we have managed to pay for tuition for our daughter's private school. By now, we thought our ''temporary'' rental apartment in San Leandro would have become a more permanent rental in a better school district. I fear that our daughter will end up going to San Leandro public schools for middle school in the Fall. How good or bad are middle schools here? Should we try getting an inter-district transfer? I feel so foolish for being in this situation. We've always prioritized her education, but we can't keep paying for her school privately and we may not be able to get a rental we can afford in time. Please, can someone help guide the way? Buckling under the strain
My experience is that the schools in San Leandro are very good. Some schools and some teachers are better than others but what else is new? That is true in public and private school. My son had a tough time at Bancroft Middle School partly due to hormones (it is a tough time for all young people) and partly due to inconsistent classroom management. Yes, the school is big and there are a lot of kids that need a lot of additional support. There are also a lot of great teachers and administrators who really care about the kids. There are LOTS of amazing kids in this community and the public schools are worth investing in!
The experience of being in a rich and diverse community has been a huge benefit for my son. I know that learning to work with a big range of people with different families, cultures, and experiences will serve him throughout his life.
If your daughter is advanced make sure you advocate for her to get into classes with teachers that support her development. Getting into Band or Orchestra is also very important - most of the students focused on their academics are also in Band or Orchestra.
Providing a rich, diverse, safe, and stimulating environment is always a parent's responsibility regardless of the school environment. I recommend getting involved in the PTA, School Site Council, and SLED (San Leandro Education Foundation) - public schools are the infrastructure of our democracy! They need all of us! Good luck!! Dawn V
My wife and I are expecting our first child in a few months and are also looking to move to San Leandro sooner than that. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Washington Elementary School in San Leandro or any preschools as well. Thank you. Kevin
I have 5 year old starting school in September. He is schedule for McKinley. Does anyone have experience with other private or public schools in San Leandro? I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks! Melinda
I'm interested in knowing what parents' experiences have been with public schools in San Leandro, good, bad and otherwise. Are there good resources for gifted / academically inclined and achieving students? Are music and art part of the elementary school experience? Is there a lot of parent involvement and do the schools cultivate and promote it? Do the schools celebrate and embrace diversity? Since I know very little, any and all input would be appreciated. Potential SL school parent
The principal and teachers are great! I swear the principal knows every single one of the 400 kids by name. My son's 2nd grade teacher left Head-Royce to teach at Garfield because she wanted more diversity. My other son's 4th grade teacher has a classroom full of reptiles, frogs and fish - and the kids love learning in ''The Zoo.'' This same son started 1st grade in the special ed program there - and is now doing 6.6 grade level math and 4.5 grade level reading in regular ed. I credit the wonderful staff at this school for helping him with his success. The school received a $100,000 3-yr grant, which they use to fund afterschool sports/enrichment programs, homework clubs and parent education events. There's a music program for all - and 5th graders can learn an instrument if they wish.
The parents are very generous with classroom activities (ie., donations, fieldtrips, etc.) - though I have to admit PTA meetings are sparsely attended (guilty). Three years ago, the school received state-wide recognition for the gain it made in test scores, which is particularly noteworthy because the school has a large population of non-native English speaking students.
I've thought about exploring private schools, but every time I go down the list of things I'd look for - I find that I already have it. Of course, what one values in a school experience is quite a personal matter and experiences/opinions differ. These are mine. Good luck as you explore your options. jj
To find out more, you can join the following district-wide discussion list: http://www.topica.com/lists/SLUSDTalk I will warn you though that there are some nasty folks there and the discussion is sometimes contentious.
Regarding the GATE program, here is how it works. The district assesses students in the 3rd and 5th grades (I don't know about after elementary school); however, it takes most of the money it gets and spends it on teacher training to teach ''differentiated curriculum''. What this means is that they don't pull-out gifted students (note that ''talented'' is ignored) for extra classes. The good part of this is that all students benefit and that gifted students are accomodated starting in the young grades even before they've been identified as such. My son's teacher recently showed me the types of extra math problems she was assigning to him and 3 other top students. There's a staggared reading program in grades 1-3 and the children are divided into spelling, reading, and math groups at their level. The kindergarten curriculum has been revamped for the better, IMO, though the tracking doesn't begin until first grade.
The school is multi-cultural and multi-culturally aware. There's a good blend of hispanic, black, asian and white students. We're Jewish and have never had a ''December dilemma'' issue. In fact, I've twice invited my son's classes for a field trip to our Sukkah in the fall and they've eagerly taken advantage of the opportunity.
The school district was in a financial crisis a few years ago and so music and art have suffered- though they're there.
Regarding other schools in the district, I can only report what I've heard. Washington elementary has a lot of problems and I know several families who've pulled their kids out. There's a charter school that was started by disaffected families, but they are having problems. I think they're going to try to go through the San Lorenzo district next year. The folks I've known who've liked Washington were in the bi-lingual program. I've heard good things about Jefferson, Garfield, Monroe and Madison.
We've heard mostly good things about Bancroft middle school, but we know one family that pulled their son out, homeschooled and then sent him to private school. The High School has a lot of problems, the main one being that it's overcrowded. I've heard that kids who take the honors and AP classes thrive while everyone else is ''left behind'' (pardon the expression). We plan to do some thinking once we get to that stage.
Feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Sophie

text: The Mushroom Castle wiki last edited by Hailinel on 09/13/14 01:31PM View full history OverviewMushroom Castle as seen in Super Mario 64.Mushroom Castle is the royal residence of Princess Peach, the ruler of Mushroom Kingdom. It first appeared in Super Mario 64, in which Mario must rescue the princess from the clutches of Bowser. The castle is fully explorable and serves as the game's hub from which Mario can travel to many other worlds by jumping into paintings displayed on walls throughout the residence.Following its appearance in Super Mario 64, the castle has been a location, or at least made an appearance, in a number of Mario-related games and spin-offs, including the Mario & Luigi series of RPGs and New Super Mario Bros. series. Specifics of the castle's aesthetic appearance have differed from game to game, owing largely to the art style employed and the advancement of game hardware.Mushroom Castle as seen in Mario Kart Wii's Mario Circuit.

Great powder especially for my sensitive skin. I bought it 6 yrs ago for first time and continue buying it. My shade was stay honey. But the last one I bought was way too dark so I guess I have to switch to a lighter shade.
Still I have to say, that I have to apply it several times a day to get rid of sheen.

Eh. Not horrible but not great either. I have Shade 02, Stay Neutral. The Translucent one looked yellow in the pan. My son decided to scoop out the contents in my MAC Blot Powder and my Lancome Pressed Powder so I went to Macy's to pick up a PP for my purse and got sucked in over at Clinique looking at their lip glosses. It works, I use it as a blot powder to keep in my purse ~ but it adds a lot of color if aren't careful about it (huge pet peeve of mine!). It is also VERY matte. Yes, I knew it going in to an extent. I don't like my make-up to look perfectly flat. It doesn't control shine, doesn't give me break outs or anything., It just isn't 'me'. I won't buy this one again.

I used this for a long time, but I was in a different climate.
It worked well on me in New Mexico, where its hot and dry. I didnt have any trouble with it.
But here in London where its wet and Im oily it just cakes on me weird, turns orange in an hour, and requires constant touch ups.

I didn't really like this product because it felt heavy on my face and even though it's the right shade for my skin, after re-applying twice it made my skin look darker. Oil control was alright.. could be better.

I like this product quite a bit. I use it over my MAC studio fix fluid, and it makes it very matte without adding anymore coverage which i really dont need with such a thick foundation. Overall its good for if you have oily skin and you want to set your liquid foundation without adding anything thick or noticable.

this powder has no coverage power for my face. cannot cover blemish or any other imperfection. but yes it stays matte all day. so I only use it for retouch my skin. don't expect for adding any coverage.

I love Clinique products but this powder is just the worst when it comes to oil control. I have no idea why. I apply it and I let some time pass and I'm twice as oily as before. What I do like is that its gentle, doesn't irritate my skin, and doesn't break me out. I've had different powders by them and they worked better for me.

I've been using this powder for ages. Many times I switched to other brands but I always come back to this product. It neutralizes my oily T-zone. I use it after Clinique blended face powder to set up my sunscreen (I never use foundation). It makes my skin look natural all day.

I use this to set foundation and it gets the job done. It's sheer so it doesn't really leave any color on my face. A lot fo times during the day I will use it to neutralize shine. It also does a great job at doing that. I've been using this powder for 5 years now and I don't plan to stop buying it unless they discontinue the product.

Limited-time feature
50 year old woman | Manitou Springs, CO, USA | Seeking men 40-54 within 100 miles
Independent, strong, attractive, grown woman seeking someone who appreciates that.
Hello I want to share in truth who I am. I am a mom of three great boys. I have no need to find someone to take care of my boys, in that I do a really good job on my own. They also have a dad whom they love very much. I am physically active, I love the outdoors and I am extremely honest. With that honesty does not mean I am naive or needy. I am very aware of the fact that in getting to know someone it is just that, getting to know them. I do want to find someone that is a good match. Perhaps I'll find it on match or somewhere else. But I never consider it a loss when meeting men, if it becomes a friendship. It has to start there anyways. I have thankfully met some really nice people. I feel fortunate. I read someone's profile and identify with it and want to reiterate what resonated for me. I know what caliber of person I am looking for. Whether it is a friendship or more. I can spot honesty and character from afar. It's almost impossible to put down everything about yourself though. I believe meeting in person gives the opportunity for that. We are all looking for someone with similar interests. Whether it's being physically active, kind, honest ,smart and funny etc.... So, that in a nut shell is for starters what I am looking for. What I am not looking for and those need not apply are the scammers, players and people that want to get married yesterday. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I feel the need to disclose that. It will save a lot of time and effort. The thing about my life is that I am really happy. I really enjoy my life. It's not a loss if something doesn't work out. I hope whomever has read this has a really good day. I hope that something in my profile will resonate for you. I love my family. I love my friendships and I feel blessed to live in an area with great people. Do have a great day and hope your search proves to be a good experience. One side note: I wrote this after someone had not been upfront about a few major points. My mood in this profile is rather sober .Or as one friend put it, it sounded like Yanni was playing in the background. That is NOT the impression I was shooting for. She was quite funny. She said, "it's appropriate for your age group." Spoken like a 29 year old woman. Everything I wrote is true however, but there are so many facets to my personality, I would not know where to begin. I imagine it is that way for most of us. On a lighter side, I am a great kisser. I just thought I would share. I don't hear too much about that one. So I might as well be the first. I have a funny side that comes out when I am inspired by the people I'm around. I take a lot of pride in being a good mom. It is my priority, but....I know how to carve out time for myself. It actually makes me a better mom. I have a wide range of interests. I really stall on naming all of them. Not sure why. It starts to feel like I'm in an interview. I think I've covered the main points. The written part of my profile needed a lift. So there you go..... : ) And again, have a great day!

We travel to Kiawah Island, SC and it is balmy and beautiful. Riding bikes on the beach and enjoying evening walks on the beach. So much fun. There is so much to Colorado that I would love to explore. I do have a soft spot for Mexico though.
University of Oregon, Eugene, OR
I love all kinds of music. I would have to say Train is a favorite right now. My oldest is learning to play the electric guitar. He is learning a song by Metallica and I really like it. I enjoyed the series Dexter. Kind of gritty.
I really enjoy being outside. Whether it is hiking, hanging out with my kids by a river or horse back riding. I do love hanging out with friends and enjoying a good margarita. I'm really open to a lot. I can find the fun in just about anything.
I'm reading the Giving tree with my 5 year old. It has a real moral to it's story. Still working on the Hunger Games with my 10 year old. Short on time for my own interests. I do enjoy a good novel.

2007 GMC Acadia
OK like to see improvements
Pros: Comfort of seats- ride

2007 GMC Acadia - SLT-2 FWD
Pros: HUD
Cons: this is a government owned manufacturer and is union made.
Advice: be careful about the fed ownershiip of the companyvery responsive and quick. good fuel economy.
2007 GMC Acadia - SLT-2 FWD
Pros: seat comfort
Cons: reliability and maintenance
Advice: Don't trust GMCWe have owned this vehicle since March 10th. It has been in the repair center 6 times since April 13th. I love the look and the comfort of the car as well as how the inside is designed. On the contrary, GMC as a whole has really dissappointed me. The car was taken in for a water leak 3 times then the headliner was damaged, the sunroofs both were damaged (by service dept) and the seatbelt has malfunction. I think the thing I am least happy about is that they boast mpg 19 city and 22 hwy. It now gets 14 all the time. I am VERY, VERY upset with the car. It is my very first - and quite possible ONLY GMC.
2007 GMC Acadia - SLT-1 AWD
Pros: looks and steering
Cons: not enough punch when step on gas,fuel economy not to good.
Advice: make sure you like alot of plastic.drives and feels like a car.Turns excellent.
2007 GMC Acadia - SLT-2 FWD
Pros: My favorite feature is the feel of the smooth ride and drive and I love the heads up display.
Cons: Wish it had a little more storage space up front.
Advice: Drive several different types of vehicles before you try the AcadiaThe 2007'Acadia drives and rides so smoothly for an suv, yet has the feeling of a luxury car. The design looks of it are also eye catching and have great appeal. We are two honda owners also, and the Acadia has the honda odessey van beat by a mile in looks, comfort and design. I have owned my Acadia for 5 weeks now and I absolutely love everything about it!!!

Re: RenderAccel hangs X on Geforce 2 MX, driver 1.7167
Hello. Have you been following any of the "Freeze problem" threads? I have been having many freezing problems here, on my backup system- K62-500 and VIA MVP3 chipset, and GeForce2-MX-400 64MB AGP. "Render Accel" did not help, but disabling Font AntiAliasing in KDE really did, as mentioned in the Linux Gamers' FAQ on icculus.org.
I thought about swapping in my 5600XT 128MB from my main system(waiting for a replacement ATA133 card)into this system, so when the system locked up the last time, I swapped cards and noticed the heat sink on the MX card was really hot, and I had not even been playing any games, just surfing the net. This other card has a fan and heatsink, and has not locked up once.
It reminds me of my first NVIDIA card, a Creative TNT-2 with 32MB. It had a heat sink only, and it got really hot, no matter what. I rigged up two small fans blowing from the end of the card to over the chip. I might have to do that again. I never noticed this MX card get that hot, but the last time I used it I was dual booting between Linux and windows(for games).
There are some temperature threads running around the forum, also, mostly on the windows side...

37 year old man | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking women 23-43 within 50 miles
Not sure if this digital profile can illustrate who I am as a person, but hey at least the info and pics are 100 percent accurate!
I love to take long strolls on the beach, and go on grueling hikes during lovely days. Cooking for my woman is an absolute passion of mine. I can spend a whole day shopping with my best girlfriend. The quest for finding the perfect woman should not be that difficult since I'm the perfect man. Just kidding, although I love the beach, hiking, and shopping to a certain degree, I think I can do a little better than that. And I definitely cannot cook. I am all about enjoying the little and great things in life. Anything from taking a cat nap, to karaoke and live music, to eating an amazing dinner with friends, to sharing a fantastic bottle of wine, to performing arts and museums, to visiting a city like Istanbul and taking everything in it has to offer. I consider myself pretty damn funny with kind of an infectious laugh. I would say I'm very intelligent, but who knows I may not be relative to all these geniuses out there. At least I'm street smart, that I do know. And of course I am a sports fanatic and ultra competitive at everything including board games. What I am looking for in a partner is quite simple, but sometimes hard to quantify without getting to know someone really well. I'm looking for someone who has a similar sense of humor(it doesn't have to be exactly the same), I mean we're not going to always agree on what movies or comedians or incidents are funny. Which brings up the next very important factor-empathy. Just because you don't share laughs at everything, it's great to know what your partner may laugh at and why they think it's funny, even though you don't. This can be important in other aspects of a relationship too. Activities, food, wine, friends, spiritual beliefs, you're going to have differences. So it's extremely important to understand where your partner is coming from. Also it is very important for my partner to be intelligent. I'm not looking for a simple house wife. If ultimately I'm going to be with someone for life, we have to be able to converse even when we are old and the kids are gone. And lastly I have to be madly attracted to her because you need healthy romance and a sex life to make it through tough times. The good news is there is more than one soul mate for every person. There could actually be many. All we have to do is find one, and we're all set!

Carlos Gonzalez homered again, Michael Cuddyer and Jordan Pacheco had three hits apiece and the Colorado Rockies beat the Houston Astros 11-5 on Thursday night. Gonzalez, who homered in his last three at-bats Wednesday, hit a three-run shot in the first inning against Bud Norris. He was intentionally walked in the second, doubled in the fourth and singled in the eighth. Gonzalez's 14th homer made him the first Rockies player to go deep in four consecutive at-bats. It was the 22nd time a major league player has homered in four consecutive plate appearances and the 38th time for four straight official at-bats. The talented left fielder is 13 for 20 with six homers and 10 RBIs in his last five games. Marco Scutaro also homered for the Rockies, who had 15 hits overall and pounded Houston pitchers in the four-game sweep. Colorado finished the series with 40 runs and 56 hits after scoring just 20 runs in its previous five home games. Every position player had at least one hit Thursda...

Otto Porter and Drew Gooden were among the bright spots for the Wizards, who lost Glen Rice to injury, but they still have a lot to clean up before the regular season opens Oct. 29.
The swelling in Glen Rice's right ankle looks severe and the Wizards hope they can make it through the last three preseason games without another casualty.
Glen Rice Jr. is expected to miss time with an ankle injury, according to head coach Randy Wittman.
Bob Dandridge shares his thoughts on small forwards in today's NBA, specifically the two best players at the position and the league. LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Otto Porter and Kevin Seraphin carried the Wizards to their fourth preseason victory but depth at shooting guard becomes an even bigger concern pending Glen Rice's status.

The Valenciana region
Originally a small fishing village, Moraira has grown into an ideal holiday retreat of perfect proportions, retaining much of its original character and atmosphere. It has attractive and colourful main streets, a picturesque Marina and wonderful blue flag sandy beaches. The choice of restaurants and bars are just too many to sample in one holiday. There are seven recommended by Michelin (three with stars) and a huge variety of others to suit all budgets. The combination of terraced vineyards, wonderful mountains and blue sea, combine to make this an area of spectacular beauty. -Thankfully, the local authority has jealously guarded the appearance of Moraira, which has prevented the over-developed characteristics of other Spanish resorts. There are no high rise holiday hotels here. In fact, there are no package holiday hotels here at all. Instead, beautiful private villas and 'pueblo style' developments line the slopes of the valley, which gently decline towards the beach and town. This dictates to a degree, the type of holidaymaker found in Moraira. Those attracted to this resort, tend to be family units, using or renting privately owned villas. - :
The character of the coastline, with its stunning cliffs and dramatic headlands, means that the beaches are mainly small coves and bays. The largest beach, Ampolla, is situated right at the centre of the town. With its shallow waters, white sands, children's play area and volleyball court, it is perfect for families. The delightful Portet beach lies in a bay, to the left of the marina, and is just as popular with families. The two bar/restaurants here are famous for excellent lunches and fabulous sundowners. All the beaches along this part of the coast have been awarded an EEC Blue Flag for cleanliness.
If the beach isn't your thing, then there are plenty of other things to do. That is, assuming you can pull yourself away from your luxury villa!
The local shops and night market offer a really excellent choice of quality clothes, gifts and keepsakes. There is a fairground, especially suitable for young children, a fabulous Go Karting circuit, for all ages, a tennis club and three nightclubs. Also nearby are three golf courses, horse riding, and water sports centres.
The larger resorts of Javea, Denia and Calpe are all within a half hour drive. Benidorm is also well within reach. Here you will find all the children's favourites- Terra Mitica Theme park, Aqualandia Water Park and Mundomar Animal Kingdom, with its world famous dolphin show.
If countryside and mountain tops are what you seek, then within 40 minutes you can be witnessing the breathtaking views at Guadalest or at the summit of the Sierra Bernia. Also, in just over one hour, you could be in Valencia, Spain's beautiful underestimated 3rd city.
Moraira, like many Spanish towns, hosts many different fiestas throughout the year. The most famous is the 'Moors and Christians' festival, usually held over the 3rd weekend in June. The elaborate customs and parades are a real spectacle. You will be astonished that a small town such as this, can stage such a grand and marvelous event. The Patron Saint fiestas in July are colourful and noisy, and culminate in a huge, spectacular firework display. There are many other towns fiestas during the year, too many to mention here. If you would like your holiday to coincide with a fiesta then we will be happy to advise you with actual dates and event times.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewThe Oath Rod is a type of ter'angreal called a binding rod, which is used to create binding oaths. It only works on channelers, and must be activated by channeling. When a person swears any oath on the Oath Rod, they are made incapable of knowingly breaking that Oath. The only way to break an Oath sworn on the Oath Rod is to use the Oath Rod to remove that Oath. The Oath Rod was created during the Age of Legends. In the modern age it is used by the Aes Sedai of the White Tower when a woman is raised from Accepted to Aes Sedai. On this occasion the woman swears the Three Oaths which all Aes Sedai must swear. The act of swearing on the Oath Rod causes the extended lives of the Aes Sedai to be shortened; they rarely live over four centuries, while channelers who are unbound by the Oath Rod have been known to live much longer. It also causes the ageless faces that are indicative of an Aes Sedai.

A Comparison of Control Strategies for a Car Cabin Personal Audio System
The generation of personal listening zones in a car cabin would allow the di erent occupants to listen to different audio programmes without the use of headphones. The generation of independent listening zones has been achieved in a number of applications using loudspeaker arrays and superdirective, or optimal beamforming methods. However, in practice these optimsed arrays are susceptible to robustness issues. In the context of a loudspeaker array designed to provide independent listening zones in the front and rear of a car cabin sized enclosure, this paper presents a comparison between the potential performance and numerical conditioning of a personal audio system optimised using either the acoustic contrast or the least squares optimiatsion methods.

(the below is based on the assumption that the C's will not be making any trades this evening, which of course is highly unlikely)
PG- Larkin? Schroeder? DA: If you did ever spend half a second reading the dribble here on these threads, please don't select a PG tonight. Rondo's gonna to absord the 90% of the minutes next season. Roll the dice on someone who can step in and help out immediately.
C- Lots of options here. Plumlee, Olynyk, the Brazilian Guy, Adams, Withey, Deng. Last year we got Melo, he's going to provide the same production as most of these guys minus Plumlee and Olynyk- two guys who I think are not physical enough. Leave these two push-overs alone.
SG- Here. Even though we have on the roster right now, we need shooting, and we need more scoring. Lee didn't get the job done. Crawford's a bench guy. Terry's past his prime. I won't complain at all if DA rolls the dice on Crabbe, Rice Jr, Ledo. But if the C's are lucky, who know maybe KCP will fall to 16?
SF- If Shabazz falls take him. Tons of upside. Start Jeff Green and bring Shabazz off the bench.
PF- I love Tony Mitchell. He may be a little bit under-sized here, but I think he could thrive in a C's uniform. He can get out and run with Rondo, play above the rim. Plus he's supposed to be a solid shot-blocker. Long wingspan, rebounds, can play the 3 and the 4. He's talented, but more importantly, I think he would fit the most needs PLUS bring some excitement during a rebuidling year.
So pass on the PG. He'd rot on the bench anyway. Pass on the Centers, too. They'd just join Melo on the list of raw projects. Cross your fingers and hope for someone like KCP or maybe Shabazz to fall. Otherwise, check out the youtube prospect video for Mitchell. Imagine what he can do defensively, and what he'd do in the open court with Rondo.

WT loses Brister, but has no trouble with MSU
Last week the Midwestern State Mustangs lost a key player in the first half and things quickly went downhill for the home team.
Wednesday night it was the visiting West Texas A&M watching three-time All-American Emily Brister forced out of the game early with a knee injury — it barely slowed the Lady Buffs down.
The seventh-ranked Lady Buffs turned a comfortable halftime lead into a blowout with a 13-0 run out of the intermission on the way to a 72-36 win over the helpless Mustangs in front of 1,271 fans in D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
The loss was the fourth straight for MSU as it fell to 7-15 for the season and 2-6 in the Lone Star Conference South. The Lady Buffs (20-3, 8-0) have now won nine straight. Midwestern travels to Portales, N.M. to play Eastern New Mexico on Saturday.
Brister failed to score in double figures for the first time this season because of the injury, but that was the only bright spot of the night for the Mustangs.
"We're just not very tough — not very tough at all," MSU head coach Noel Johnson said. "We didn't play with any heart and we didn't even show up in the second half at all. They got 39 points off of our turnovers (30) because we're not very tough."
Although the Lady Buffs had broken an 8-8 tie with a 7-0 run, back-to-back baskets by Regiane Araujo helped the Mustangs make it 15-12 with 11:55 left. Brister was fouled after making a steal and had to be helped to the bench.
WT responded with a 11-2 run to make it 26-13. The visitors led 33-20 at the half.
Johnson used a pair of time outs to try and stop the Lady Buffs' run to open the second half, clearing her bench on the second stoppage. She would substitute freely the rest of the game, but was never able to find the combination she was looking for.
"I was trying to find a pulse, trying to find someone that wanted to play. I'm not sure I ever did," she said. "We have to keep working on who we are, finding our identity being a consistent motion offense. And we have to do it without the turnovers.
Besides the 30 turnovers — 15 in each half — MSU only had five baskets in the second half (23 percent); made just 8-of-17 free throws; failed to hit a 3-pointer for just the second time this year; and scored the fewest amount of points for the season.
Araujo was the onlu MSU player to score in double figures with 10 points and six boards, while Breanna Brown had five points off the bench. Rosy Ofoegbu had eight rebounds and Michelle Duff had six assists. Courtny Lee led the Lady Buffs with 20 points, followed by Joni Unruh with 15 points and 10 boards.

We were charged 10% extra to what the website advised when we arrived. There was no mention of this on the site. Wi-Fi was not available. Washing machine in bathroom wouldn't work. A call to reception was futile because the man on the phone couldn't speak English. Breakfast was good. Little tourist information was available. Water in shower was barely hot enough and on second night it reduced to a trickle. Wouldn't recommend this place.

we enjoyed our stay at hotel. It has a very good location for exploring Torino and only 10 minutes on foot from Porta Nuova station. The hotel is located in the calm area, room was small but for two people who came to Torino for a short period of time to do and see things ideal! It was always clean there. Breakfast is delicious and you can choose from different things. if we visited Torino again we would surely stay again at this hotel.
