Does this mean anything?
I have version 1.02 of HBC, IOS36 V12.18
Does this mean anything?
I had this problem doing a friends wii, however I started at 3.4u for software revision and everything went fine with the HBC install and firmware downgrade to 3.2. When i went to install starfall it failed everytime, I ended up reinstalling the cios_fix.wad with custom wad manager and also reinstalling IOS downgrader. then starfall installed. Hope this helps
+Load Wad Manager in Homebrew Channel and install IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad
Yes, even if you have received errors trying to install other wads this should still work.
+Load Custom WM in Homebrew Channel and install cios_fix.wad
You cannot install this wad with Wad Manager. This is a custom wad manager designed to work for IOS16.
+Load IOS Downgrader in Homebrew Channel. Just follow any prompts until it tells you it is complete.
**Note: This is NOT the same as the cIOS downgrader. The cIOS downgrader allows you to upgrade or downgrade to the ideal firmware
version which is 3.2. The reason 3.2 is so popular is partially because versions after this one had the Trucha bug fixed, and almost
as importantly ver 3.2 is required to run Starfall. Starfall is important because it is at this time one of the only ways to fix a
partially bricked Wii. It is also handy for skipping disk updates.
Is that what you are saying, because I did that. >_>
I did it as well but for some reason after successfully downgrading to 3.2u starfall wouldn't install, so i reinstalled the ios' that I mentioned above and then starfall installed fine. Just thought you might want to try reinstalling the cios_fix.wad and the IOS downgrader. Not the CIOS downgrader that you select the 3.2u revision from. the downgrader you install to make that one work. It worked for me, I am pretty new to this and have only done 3 wii's thus far so maybe wait for someone with more experience to validate that reinstalling those .wad's won't be harmful
TBH... it is very ... let me see... idiotic due to the fact it takes you ages to get the combo spot on, hint : Press them exactly at the same time. then it should register it and let you in.
Here to help in anyway shape and or form (or at least try, ive been out of the wii scene for quite a while)

DE BLOB escaped and attacked my Signature!
When you've tried this for more than several minutes and still not working, I had the same problem. In this forum i received help and what you need to do is run IOS downgrader over again. That worked for me as I've downgraded 3 Wii's, and this happened to me on 1 downgrade. I was stumped until i went back to the step where you run the IOS downgrader. Trust me...... It will work.
me too - have you got it sorted ??
I'm obviously new to this cool forum with full of wii experts. I just downgraded my wii to 3.2U. it took me three hours, i missed connect to net work part, duh me! I;m in situation where it say failed when trying install starfall. I puzzled so I read all of your posts and it worked! Many thanks to you guys!

Based on the book, Where Am I Wearing, by Kelsey Timmerman
Experts provide suggestions concerning how we can best serve the interests of workers, producers, and consumers of clothing.

Our most puncture resistant Road tires
Serfas Survivor tires are extremely well fortified to resist punctures in most riding conditions. The Survivor tires utilize both Ballistic Nylon and our Impervious Composite Matrix under the tread in addition to 25% thicker rubber to help keep out thorns, glass, nails, metal scrap, and sharp rocks.
I haven't flatted all season (knocking on wood...)These tires are great and have a better feel than the Specialized Armadillos I used to ride.
Maurice T. (Pontiac, MI, USA)
I have used the 25 and 23 cm tires. I have had great success with each with respect to high mileage and flat resistance. And that means more miles and less time on the side of the road! Thanks Serfas for a great tire!
Michael C (Porterville, CA, USA)
the only tire i will ever ride.
zak (orlando, FL, USA)
Heavy when compared to the Continental Gatorskins , don't roll as well and not impervious to snake bite punctures.
Flatted after a week on these tires while clipping a small rock in the roadway which lead to the puncture.
After 300 miles they appear to wear well and bead is easier to work with that the Conti's when working on a flat. Commute on glass strewn and debris riddled roads and the tires are not torn up at all. For the price it's a good tire and will see in the long run will they hold up as well as the Conti's.
Only wish they were a bit lighter and roll easier but for the price it is a good deal.

Still better than the X6
I have been enjoying my 900.
Bought it on a whim (same as my 99) but the turbo + 5-speed are a vast improvement, and it looks just as cool.
More modern as well so even tho it's a bit trashed inside...
Thank Allah this is "the most dynamically focused Land Rover vehicle ever produced" .. the lack of dynamic focus was my biggest complaint about the previous models.
:laugh: no .. surprisingly not even any 9-2xs there. But four of the last-gen 9-5s.
Didn't take many photos but there were about 8 9000s which surprised me, guess they have a cult following. Rode in...
Can you see me now?
does it not work? :(
displays for me but maybe because I am logged into that SAAB site
if so, where can I host & link pictures?
here is the gallery link for now
SAAB may be dead, but Swedish :heart: is alive and well.
This event occurred over the weekend in Deschutes County Oregon.
Had about 200 people and 100 SAABs from the 1950s through 2011 models ......
As a bipolar individual with Underemployed status, I spend too much time browsing Craigslist for vehicles I most definitely am not qualified or well-advised to purchase.
So today I happen to...
Rock on. Glad it's going well.
As if my 99 ("99 problems") weren't enough, I'm thinking of acquiring an 88 Turbo hatch .. also with no reverse :P
If I do I'll get a black 4-door 81Turbo at the...
hope this isn't a re-post, my employer blocks 60% of this thread, but worth a share:
Deer crashes through semi truck cab on I-5 in Tacoma
Sweet, glad to hear it's working out.
Theres a beater-looking SPG on the local CL, tempted to check it tho I am more of a 99 guy, 900s seem too complicated, but SPGs are undeniably sweet......
SAAB's greatest triumph
How goes the battle comrade?
Incas were long gone by 1986, so it's safe to assume this car wasn't always pulling runway duty
I aspire to own a cheap second-rate Japanese automobile
Did you buy the benzo?
Now that I'm on a computer & not rushing off to work, I can expand a bit
when using my phone the board puts my copy-paste images in the middle of my previously-constructed sentences...
I have an inexplicable attraction to defunct automakers.
Now that both Suzuki and Isuzu have gone the way of SAAB in the states, I am wondering what the parts situation is like these days?
Love these Benzos.
On my phone at the pub currently but this site will educate you nicely:
Edit: just saw you are in my city .. I thought about buying that exact car...

Airgun field target competitors take aim at steel targets cut out in shapes of common small game animals such as squirrels.
BLOOMFIELD - Sitting on a thickly padded ground cushion, my knees and back steadied by a shooting harness, I took aim at a small steel target cut in the shape of a squirrel.
Thanks to some high-power optics, the squirrel, resting on the ground near a clump of branches about 40 yards away, came into sharp focus, as if running closer toward me.
Then, with a gentle squeeze of the two-stage trigger on the Benjamin Marauder air rifle, I hit the 1½-inch diameter "kill zone" hole that signals a perfect shot, tripping a mechanism that dropped the metal critter flat. Clank! ...

Zhou, Y; Bird, J; Cox, AL; Brumby, D; (2013) Estimating Usage Can Reduce the Stress of Social Networking. Presented at: Personal Informatics in the Wild: Hacking Habits for Health & Happiness — CHI 2013 Workshop, Paris, France.
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Social networks are increasingly popular and provide benefits such as easy peer group communication. However, there is evidence that they can have negative consequences, such as increased stress levels. For two weeks, we provided participants with an objective measure of their social network usage and also asked them for a daily estimate of their usage over the previous 24 hours. Although their social network usage did not significantly change, participants' perception of this activity was transformed, with a reduction in perceived stress, an increase in satisfaction and more generally an increase in their perception of control over time. We demonstrate the potential of combining both estimates and objective measures of activity usage in personal informatics systems: it can result in a transformation of attitudes towards the activity and a reduction in the stress associated with it.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 12/12/12
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. Stands for Colts-Big Test on some digests. With AP Photos.) By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer Indianapolis is 9-4 and is on the verge of making the playoffs. Andrew Luck has won more games than any No. 1 overall draft pick since the 1970 merger, and Bruce Arians is within one victory of the highest total by an NFL interim coach in more than half a century. This week, after winning six of their last seven games, the Colts face their biggest test yet: A road trip to Houston against the Texans. Few thought the Colts would be in position to make the playoffs or possibly win the AFC South title this late in the season, yet here they are. One more win puts them in the playoffs. Three wins gives Indy its second division title of the Indy era without Peyton Manning.

We booked a double room with a shared bathroom but arrived to find we actually had the whole top floor with a separate two rooms with bathroom and another with fridge & basin as well as the entire rooftop balcony. The managers could barely speak English though but managed to get by. Excellent location!

The facilities don't match the description above: There's no breakfast, neither was there a telephone or a working TV in the room. My bed was broken. The owner is very friendly and caring though. Also, I guess it's a very good price for this central location.

2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S (510hp) - pure SOUND
Awesome pure Exhaust and cold-start SOUND footage of the all new 2015/2016 Mercedes-AMG C63 S making a super sick noise in pretty much all situations. Once again the Torpedo Garage provided this car and I can only thank them for this opportunity! The particular C63 is the S-Model delivering 510 hp and 700 Nm of torque (same as the AMG GT S) + a illegally loud screaming "Performance Exhaust System" with a selectable valve setting. The curious thing, this video does not even transport half of the bass and grunt in the low frequencies that the car delivers. So chapeau Mercedes-AMG for reducing the engine-displacement and making the sound better than ever before!!! If you LIKE watching clips like this don't hesitate to COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE and make sure to stay tuned for the full Drive & Sound! Bam :-)

Rockies demoting Opening Day catcher Chris Iannetta to Triple-A
Apr 27, 2010, 12:42 PM EDT
To make room on the roster for all their pitcher shuffling the Rockies are reportedly demoting Opening Day catcher Chris Iannetta to Triple-A.
Iannetta is off to a 4-for-30 (.133) start, but it sure seems odd to demote a 27-year-old veteran of 293 career games to Triple-A based on 30 bad at-bats after handing him an $8.3 million contract this offseason and starting him on Opening Day. The notion that Iannetta has anything left to learn or prove in the minors is fairly absurd.
Iannetta has gone through big slumps before, but has posted an OPS above .800 in back-to-back seasons as the Rockies' primary catcher and has a career mark of .799 in 1,118 plate appearances. By comparison Miguel Olivo has a career OPS of .707 and has topped .730 just once in nine seasons, but has leap-frogged Iannetta on the depth chart based on a dozen strong games.
Some very short-sighted thinking by the Rockies, because if Iannetta warranted an $8.3 million deal this offseason and a start on Opening Day he certainly deserves more than eight games to get on track before sending him back to the minors at age 27. Since his debut in 2006 only six catchers have a higher OPS than Iannetta: Joe Mauer, Jorge Posada, Brian McCann, Mike Napoli, Victor Martinez, Geovany Soto.
- GimmeSomeSteel - Apr 27, 2010 at 12:57 PM
I don't see a problem with the demotion. It's clearly very temporary considering that Paul Phillips was recalled to replace him, and it gives Iannetta a chance to get his hitting stroke together without hurting the big league club. He'll be back soon enough, and Olivo will cool off.
- Steve B - Apr 27, 2010 at 1:10 PM
Use OPS+ for Rockies players if no one else, pretty please?
- Ross - Apr 27, 2010 at 1:12 PM
It could be worse. They could also decide to put Ubaldo in the pen for an undetermined amount of time…
- Jonny5 - Apr 27, 2010 at 1:32 PM
Hey there are always "other factors" as well. He coulda told someone to go "f" off. He coulda got into a scuffle in the locker room after having his balls broken for a bad start. That's why i don't question "questionable moves" such as this one. It could be any other reason besides his performance.
- Chucho - Apr 27, 2010 at 2:29 PM
GimmeSomeSteel is completely right. They are just sending him down to get more at bats and to get into the groove of hitting once again. With the way Olivo is playing right now, there is no room/time for Iannetta to find his swing with the Major League club. There is no doubt he will be up shortly. I thank you, Aaron Gleeman, for your concern. However, there is nothing malicious with this move.

A state review of industry-sponsored University of Minnesota psychiatry department drug trials found no research subject deaths beyond one previously reported but concluded some researchers inadequately disclosed problems.

Reigning champions Young Africans have no option but to drop another player after their appeal against Kenyan George Owino hit a snag.
The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) held a meeting yesterday to discus the appeal and the final decision was the back-to-back champions to reinstate Owino.
Last week, the federation gave Young Africans five days to axe one of their newly signed foreign players, but they responded by appealing.
The former Tusker FC star, who played for Simba before decamping to archrivals Young Africans, has a valid contract that expires next year.
However, the saga has now taken a new twist as the federation instructed the Jangwani Street club not to field any of their foreign players until they offload one star.
"We have duly informed them to drop the player as soon as possible otherwise none of their newly signed players will be eligible for league matches," he stressed.
Young Africans get off their title defense campaigns on Sunday against newcomers African Lyon at the Uhuru Stadium.
Bankrolled by Yusuf Manji, the club will have to drop the player from the following; Jama Mba Robert (Cameroon), Kabongo Honore (Rwanda) and Steven Bengo (Uganda).
Others are Joseph Shikokoti, Moses Odhiambo, John Njoroge, Boniface Ambani, Mike Barasa (Kenya), Obren Cuckovic (Serbia) and Wisdom Ndlovu (Malawi).
"We want them to drop one player from their current squad and the choice is theirs," he insisted.
According to the official, Young Africans who submitted a list of 10 foreign players excluding Owino will be required to submit a fresh list immediately.
TFF's ruling is a victory for Simba Sports Club who had opposed Young Africans' decision to drop the Kenyan central defender after the set deadline.

Apricot Souffle
|1 (Juice And Rind)
|4 , separated
|Caster sugar
|4 Ounce (100 Grams)
|1⁄4 Ounce (11 Gram, 1 Sachet)
|Whipping cream
|1⁄2 Pint (300 Milliliter)
|Flaked almonds
|1 Ounce (25 Gram)
|For decoration
|Mint sprigs
|2 (No Need To Soak Variety)
Tie a double band of greaseproof paper around a 6 in/15 cm souffle dish, ensuring that the paper stands at least 2 in/5 cm above the top of the dish.
Place the apricots in a small pan with the lemon juice, rind and 1/4 pint/150 ml water.
Bring to the boil, then poach gently for 10 mins, or until soft and pulpy.
Remove from the heat and put through a processor to form a smooth puree.
Leave to cool.
Meanwhile, place egg yolks and caster sugar in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and whisk until pale, thick and creamy (the whisk should leave a trail on the surface when lightly pulled across the top).
Remove from the heat and continue to whisk until the mixture is cold.
Stir apricot puree into mixture.
Dissolve the gelatine in 4 tbsp water, then add to the mixture in a thin, steady stream.
Whip the cream until softly peaking, then gently fold into the mixture.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then add 3 tbsp to the mixture and fold in carefully with a metal spoon.
Fold in the remaining egg white in the same way.
(Adding the egg white in stages, folding it in gently each time, means that as little air as possible is lost from the mixture.) Turn into the prepared souffle dish and smooth the top.
Chill for at least 3 hrs, or until set.

An intriguing tale."—Library Journal "Beautifully written."—Publishers Weekly "[A] colorful setting and an in-your-face heroine fetching enough to warrant a series."—Kirkus Reviews Emily Tempest has been away from Australia for a long time, but now she's returned to the Moonlight Downs "mob," the community where she grew up, half in the Aboriginal world, half in the white. She is looking forward to a reunion with her childhood friend, Hazel, and to catching up with the rest of the group. Within hours of her arrival, an old friend, Lincoln Flinders, the tribe's elderly leader, is murdered and mutilated. The police suspect Blakie Japanangka, a renegade aborigine sorcerer, but Emily believes that the old man was slain for worldly reasons, and she starts asking questions.

Inter missed the chance to close the gap on Serie A leaders Juventus when they could only manage a 1-1 home draw with Genoa.
Inter Milan missed the chance to close the gap on Serie A leaders Juventus on Saturday when they could only manage a 1-1 home draw with Genoa.
Esteban Cambiasso's equaliser for the hosts five minutes from time cancelled out Ciro Immobile's superb individual goal as second-placed Inter nudged up to 35 points, nine behind Juve after the champions won 3-1 against Cagliari on Friday.
Genoa remain second bottom on 14 points. Inter's Rodrigo Palacio twice went close early in the second half, first blazing over after finding himself one-on-one with Genoa keeper Sebastien Frey and then forcing a fine save from the Frenchman with a powerful left-foot strike.
A stout Genoa defence easily kept Inter at bay and Immobile hit them with what looked like a fatal sucker punch with 13 minutes left. His fine individual goal saw him ghost past defender Andrea Ranocchia and slip a smart finish under keeper Samir Handanovic.
Cambiasso brought Andrea Stramaccioni's side back into the game with a thumping header but despite late pressure, Inter could not grab the winner and now look increasingly unlikely to take the title from their rivals.
Napoli will be looking to get their season back on track after having two points deducted in midweek when they visit Siena at 1400 GMT while fellow Champions League hopefuls Lazio and Fiorentina are also both away, at Sampdoria and Palermo respectively.
The weekend's big game takes place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome (1945 GMT) where flamboyant AS Roma take on a resurgent AC Milan led by red-hot striker Stephan El Shaarawy.

Story Behind Sati
Filed Under: World | Posted: 01/11/2008 at 12:29PM
Comments | Region: India
What is Sati ?
Hindu custom in India in which the widow was burnt to death on her husband's pyre.
Can be a voluntary choice or force upon a woman by her in-laws.
II. Reasons for Sati
A widow's status was looked upon as an unwanted burden that prevented her from participating in the household work. Her touch, her voice, her very appearance was considered unholy, impure and something that was to be shunned and abhorred.
A woman was considered pure if she committed Sati.
III. The History Behind Sati
Sati, the wife of Daksha, was so overcome at the demise of her husband that she immolated herself on his funeral pyre.
Sati was the consort of Lord Shiva. She burnt herself in fire as protest against her father, Daksha did not give her consort Shiva the respect she thought he deserved.
IV. Theories of Origin
Even though Sati is considered an Indian custom or a Hindu custom it was not practiced all over India by all Hindus but only among certain communities of India.
Sacrificing the widow in her dead husband's funeral or pyre was not unique only to India. This custom was prevalent among Egyptians, Greek, Goths, and others.
Ramayana- Sita walks through fire to prove her purity.
Mahabharata- Madri throws herself on her husband, Pandu's fire.
V. Outside Views Impact
A few rulers of India like the Mughals, tried to ban this custom.
Italian Traveler Pietro Della Valle (1586-1652) has documented the Sati ritual that he witnessed in the town of Ikkeri in November of 1623.
Colonel William. H. Sleeman (1809 – 1856 A.D.) served as the collector of Jabalpur.
VI. Sati in the Modern times
In general, before this custom was outlawed in 1829, there were a few hundred officially recorded incidences each year.
The efforts of Raja Rammohan Roy and other Hindu reformers greatly impacted the movement to outlaw this practice.
Even after the custom was outlawed, this custom did not vanish completely. It took few decades before this custom almost vanished
In 1987 an eighteen years old widow, Roop Kanwar, committed Sati in a village of Rajasthan
The 'Sati' version is that Roop told her father-in-law she wanted to commit Sati.
Roop was forced to commit Sati.

None of the name brands work for me and I'd rather not use them anyways. Anyone have a strong recipe?
Deoderant recipe?
do you have to order the EVCO or can you buy it in health-food stores?
I got my EVCO at my local grocery store in their health-food section. Its hardly a super crunchy grocery store so you should be able to find it locally.
I've only been doing this for 2 days, so, I'm sure someone else can speak with more authority than me, but so far, I'm not sweating! I haven't done much more than casual housework though, so I make no promises.
Its so ridiculously cheap & easy to make, I say its worth the experiment.
....naked kitties with pretty claws -SailorPluto
NailGuyTV likes my kitty. - Hot Toddee
Run you clever boy, and remember...
EVCO can be found at some health food stores otherwise you can order it from vitacost.com or amazon (lots of other sites too but those are the cheap ones)
It's not technically an antiperspirant however, as your body detoxes and adjusts you sweat less. For instance, I ran out of homemade deodorant a month or so ago...and since I'm being lazy and haven't' bought any cornstarch/arrowroot yet, I haven't used any deodorant since and I don't really sweat! It's been great! But I still want to make more as I'd smell a bit better with it. :)

I just made some! I love lavender, so I added a few drops of the essential oil. I can't wait to start using it!
Does the coconut oil smell like coconut? I have been wanting to make my own for a long time, but my husband cannot stand coconuts. Do any other oil combinations work?
Little man is three! Baby girl..we miss you 6/27/13 Waiting on her arrival March '15
I put ACV in a little travel sized spray bottle and spray that on my underarms. Works better for me than ANY deodorant ever has. And doesn't irritate my armpits like most of the ones with baking soda.
Mama to 2 wonderful kids
I've read what kind of coconut oil you get effects the smell.
I can't remember off hand which kinda doesn't smell, it has something to do wtih the level of processing, maybe someone else can tell you?
I am obsessed with the smell myself lol.
ACV? really? I might have to try that too.
(is it obvious I'm having such a great time experimenting lol)

Charter amendments will cast a long shadow
The critical choice for Corpus Christi's voters will be the approval of the Padre Island pedestrian beach.
Should there be a pedestrian-only beach on Padre Island south of Packery Channel? Should the public vote on whether to ban vehicles in the future from the city's Gulf of Mexico beaches? Those issues will be put on the Nov. 7 ballot with today's City Council action.
But the two charter amendment proposals to be approved today are really about larger issues. Charter Amendment No. 1 would authorize the pedestrian-only beach. What the amendment really asks is: Do the voters, by authorizing a beach free of vehicles, want to generate more city tax dollars that could pay for better streets, libraries, parks and other city services?
Developer Paul Schexnailder says the pedestrian-only beach is the key to his $1.5 billion resort development, which would be a boon to local tourism, to raising Corpus Christi's profile on the national vacation map and to fattening the city's tax rolls. Such a development could make Corpus Christi a major vacation and conference destination.
Charter Amendment No. 2 would put future requests for pedestrian-only beaches to a public vote. It would take a crystal ball to foresee what island development opportunities lie ahead. Thus, the amendment really asks, do the voters want to continually hinder the possibility of other major developments, putting obstacles in the way of new jobs, new business, and help in sharing the tax burden? That, of course, is not the way the Beach Access Coalition would frame the issue. The Coalition, by petition, forced the vote on Charter Amendment No. 2.
With the adoption of the ballot language today, the voters must now be educated on the heavy cost to the city's prospects and quality of life if the pedestrian-only beach amendment is defeated.
The most important step is passage of Amendment 1. By adopting the pedestrian-only beach, voters would create a safer beach, with parking lots, restrooms, showers, access to the handicapped and a trolley-like passenger system, all of which are in the planning. It would give the go-ahead for development that could make Corpus Christi a major tourist destination.
If voters pass both amendments, the pedestrian-free beach will be adopted, and all future requests for restrictions on vehicles on the city's Gulf of Mexico beaches will have to be put on a ballot. The worst alternative would be defeat of Amendment 1 and passage of the second amendment.
Between today and Nov. 7, those are the issues the voters must weigh.

Great Apple Screeen9/12/2012
Great resolution, glossy and sharp. A bit heavy but sturdy.
This is an amazing Color Monitor. The resolution is quiet surprisingly clear, I really didn't expect it to be this good. The prices have come down so this Monitor was in the range I was looking to purchase. Definately a FIVE STAR Monitor so I highly recommend this to all my friends to buy.
The best display5/24/2012
I love the higher resolution of the Thunderbolt Display. I love the convience of the Firewire and USB hubs. Setup was a snap. A built-in power cable to charge your Air or any other portable mac and the thunderbolt for everything else including ethernet. It's great! 2 cables and that's it.
great buy5/18/2012
Super easy setup, Thunderbolt interface, port replication, Video Quality, Appearance
designer' s choice5/9/2012
I prefer Mac display for graphic design project due to the fact Mac displays express color better than other brands.
Great video2/23/2012
I find it hard to imagine a more satisfactory monitor than this one in many regards. The video remains easily the best I've ever seen, the extra ports are very useful indeed to a Mac Mini user (like me), and the metal-and-glass construction is a delight to see and touch. Apple, however, claims that the built-in speakers offer "immersive, full-range sound". This is an exaggeration to say the least. I'd describe the speakers as being "decent". There's little bass, and all in all the system sounds cheap and thin compared to many other speaker systems I've used. One of my main goals in buying this display was to cut clutter by using the built-in speakers. This simply hasn't worked out. For a grand, it should've.

South African white-corn futures declined to the lowest level in almost a week as the rand rebounded from the biggest one-day drop in six months against the dollar, making locally produced grain cheaper.
White corn for delivery in July, the most active contract, fell 0.2 percent to 2,125 rand ($232) a metric ton, the lowest level since April 10, by the close on the Johannesburg-based South African Futures Exchange. The yellow variety increased 0.1 percent to 2,101 rand a ton.
"The difference in the performance of white and yellow corn was due to speculative buying mainly driven by rand volatility," Brink van Wyk, a trader at BVG Pty Ltd., said by phone from Pretoria today.
South Africa's currency strengthened as much as 0.9 percent to 9.1236 per dollar. The rand's three-month implied volatility against the dollar rose to 12.75 percent, from 12.62 yesterday, the most among 16 major currencies today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Wheat for delivery in May fell less than 0.1 percent to 3,398 rand a ton.
South Africa is the continent's largest producer of corn. White corn is a staple food, while the yellow variety is mainly used as animal feed.

Release from ANSYS Introduces Key New Technologies in Surface and Volume
SOUTHPOINTE, Pa., May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANSYS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced the release of version 5.0 of its TGrid(TM) advanced mesh generation software. TGrid technology is a specialized pre-processor for fluid flow analysis. It is used to create large unstructured tetrahedral and hex-core meshes for complex geometry. The software is utilized heavily in large-scale automotive and aerospace applications, in which advanced meshing techniques are required for the computational analysis of fluid flow. This latest version of TGrid software introduces new tools and enhanced capabilities to generate high-quality meshes more efficiently. In addition, this release exhibits a continued commitment by ANSYS to deliver best-in-class meshing technology.
"This latest release of TGrid software is a prime example of how ANSYS provides the right meshing solution for the right problem," said Brian Drew, vice president at ANSYS, Inc.

We intend to continue core technology improvements in order to reduce the meshing bottleneck, producing best-in-class tools designed to address all kinds of applications."
In today's automotive industry, front-end underhood thermal management
(UTM) represents one of the most challenging meshing applications. TGrid
5.0 software addresses this by capturing best practices and automating the
meshing - once a manual, time-consuming task - required for this class of
problems. The surface wrapper method is newly equipped with a revolutionary
fully automatic leak/hole detection and fixing algorithm; this eliminates
tedious manual cleanup of the often-dirty underh

I've never attempted to dive into the world of fan fiction. I've seen things, small snippets, and decided that I can maintain some innocence on the internet. I know not all fanfic is slash, but there are not enough clear warnings to prevent me stumbling upon a beloved children's character using a household implement in a way that is not designed.
I like official crossover events, something like the Avengers or when Doctor Who was in Star Trek (this happened) are cool. So this led me thinking, what other pop culture mash-ups would have geekdom jumping up and down?

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
