RecordCam™ DR-170
Compact HD DVR with Built-in 120° CMOS Camera and LCD Screen
The DR-170 is a compact HD DVR system with a built-in 120° CMOS camera and goes a step further than the previous models by adding a built-in 1.5" LCD screen. This makes it so that the user can view any of the systems recordings onsite instead of having to retrieve the SD card and view the files on a computer. The DR-170 also includes an HDMI output for an HD hookup to an external monitor.
- - Check out our Mobile DVR black box DVR systems
- - Additional parts & labor may be required
- The DR-170 is a compact high definition DVR system and is part of our RecordCam™ series of Mobile DVR systems. It is designed to be mounted on the windshield of the vehicle and has a built-in 120° CMOS camera. The system records in HD 1080P and the recordings are stored on a Micro SD card (32GM max) which can be retrieved from the system or the unit itself to view the video files. The unit can have the time and date programmed into it and will display the time and date of each recording. The system also has a built-in 1.5" color LCD screen for on-site playback of the recordings and a built-in microphone for audio recording.
- The DR-170 will automatically start recording as soon as the ignition turns on and will continuously record until the ignition is turned off. The system also has manual recording mode which when activated will keep the system recording until you press the recording button again to shut it off. The recordings are split up into individual files and stored on the SD card. The system has it's own built-in 1.5" LCD monitor for on-site playback. You can remove the SD card and view the files from you computer at home or plug into your computer using the USB 2.0 connection. The DR-170 also has a built-in HDMI output for high definition hook-up to an external LCD monitor.
- The built-in G-Sensor will force the unit to start recording if it picks-up sudden acceleration, hard braking or sudden movement from a collision. These recordings are stored on the SD card and locked automatically by the unit so that they cannot be over written by continuous ignition or manual recorded files. These files can only be deleted by physically removing the SD card and deleting them from your computer.
- For surveillance when you are away from the vehicle, the DR-170 has a built-in motion sensor which will take individual photos when the cameras detect movement. The images are also stored on the SD card in JPEG format and are also locked by the unit with override protection. These images cannot be deleted unless the SD card is removed and plugged deleted from a computer. The motion sensor will provide the around-the-clock surveillance you need to catch anyone trying to vandalize or break into your vehicle.

A trip to the dog park is a fun time for our dogs. We love walking along the trails with them and although Sydney prefers the humans, Rodrigo and Blue love the opportunity to play with other dogs. Mouthing, growling, jumping, running, and chasing are part of the play. What about the dog humping? Lately, dog humping (or mounting) has become a growing concern for two reasons…
1. Some dog owners are nervous when one dog mounts another, not wanting their dog to be dominated. I've also encountered dog owners who mistakenly see the mounting as sexual and worry that their unspayed or neutered dog will become pregnant.
2. Sometimes the dog humping leads to fights and there is nothing that ruins a dog park day faster than when play turns to fighting and we all hear the yelping.
I don't want my dog to be seen as aggressive, so I've made a point of watching his body language and stepping in right before the dog humping starts, making Rodrigo sit until he settles down, and then releasing him to play. Although some feel that mounting is a natural part of play, I'm working to train Rodrigo not to mount dogs at the park through positive reinforcement.
Here are a few more ideas on how to train your dog not to hump other dogs…
Fanna Easter CPDT-KA, KPA CTP is the National Dog Training Lead for Petco
After all the studies and polls, it seems humping is caused by stress or and/or a over stimulated dog. For example, in a dog park this can be a dog that is playing with other dogs roughly. Humping is often part of their play "repertoire". Most dogs ignore the humping, however pet parents of the "humpee" seemed to be the most concerned, and most people separate the dogs. Humping can be a learned behavior, so I would recommend separating the dogs as soon as the pet parent sees the activity beginning.
I have a 98lb Bouvier that has humped other dogs since he was a baby. Since humping is part of his "play behavior", and it happens so I always inform other pet parents this may or may not happen. Most of the time everyone laughs and I separate the dogs once the activity begins.
Lindsay, ThatMutt.com
For the most part I like to get involved before the humping escalates to a growl or a snap from one of the dogs. So I will give a voice correction – "hey!" and distract both dogs to break up any tension. It's only natural for dogs to try to hump other dogs.
It's part of working out their "pecking" order. But sometimes it can become a problem at the dog park with so much energy and such a wide variety of dogs, many with poor social skills. So in general I think it's best to prevent humping as much as possible. If the dog seems to be humping all the time and causing problems, it would be best to socialize the dog in smaller groups first rather than the large group at the dog park. I would have the owner teach a solid "watch me" command to be able to get the dog's attention at all times. The owner should also teach the dog solid obedience skills – sit, stay, down, come – so he or she can get control of her dog at all times. These skills should be worked on to perfection outside of the dog park first, then work on them with more distractions and eventually practice at the dog park.
Rachel Friedman, MSW, LISW, A Better Pet LLC
Dog humping dog is a normal behavior in dogs. While it certainly has sexual connotations in certain situations, it's also fun. And doesn't always have even a whiff of sex involved in it. I mean c'mon, there are so many things a dog can do. Without opposable thumbs there are real limits. So humping is in that repertoire of dog behaviors.
Like any behavior, if it isn't a problem, don't fix it. But if it is, and dog park people can be anthropomorphic and queasy about perceptions of sex, then teach your dog a drop dead reliable recall. So if he's humping (or doing anything you don't want for that matter), call him back. If you're consistent, then he'll start to go, and I'm paraphrasing "Say, every time I start humping Fideaux, My Peep calls me over. When I get there, he tells me "good boy, go play." Hmmm. When I don't hump Fid-Oh I don't get interrupted from my fun play activity. Ergo, I will stop humping."
And if he doesn't come when you call him, you're not a benevolent leader and you shouldn't be giving him freedom in the dog park until he learns it! So teach him! Need to know how? Hire a positive trainer!
Sarah Westcott, CPDT-KSA, Doggie Academy
In an ideal world, dogs would work out the whole humping issue on their own. Ideally, Dog A would hump Dog B. If it bothered Dog B, he'd correct Dog A appropriately and Dog A would respect that and cease the humping.
However, not every situation is ideal.
I will use my dog, Hank, as an example because he humps and gets humped.
If Hank is humping a dog and the other dog's owner is uncomfortable, I will intervene. I will pull Hank off, ask him to sit, give him a bit of a time out to calm down and then release him to go play. Even if the other dog is dealing with Hank appropriately and the other owner is overreacting, I will still intervene. In addition to being a good dog owner, we need to be good neighbors and respect the feelings of our fellow dog owners.
If Hank is humping a dog and the other dog is unwilling to correct him, I will intervene in the same way. Some dogs will be too timid or scared to correct a humping dog, but that doesn't mean that they don't mind the situation. You cannot allow your dog to be a bully and we need to act as guardian for a dog that will not stand up for himself. If I'm unsure about the dog's body language, I will pull Hank off and see what the other dog does. If he comes back for more, then he's enjoying the play and I will allow them to continue to play. If he runs away, than I was correct to pull Hank away from him.
I am also a proponent of the "3 strikes and you're out" rule. If Hank humps another dog and I pull him off for any reason, sometimes he will run right back to that dog and hump him again. If I have to pull him off 3 times, we immediately leave the dog run. I give Hank 2 opportunities to change his behavior and if he does not make a different choice then the result is the end of play time.
Hank is very good about giving appropriate corrections to dogs that hump him, so when the humping dog's owner is embarrassed I will let them know its ok. They usually laugh when I tell Hank that he deserves it for all the humping he does!

Willamette Falls to Albertson College, 70-54, at Lady Yotes Classic
CALDWELL, IDAHO -- Albertson College shot just 28.8% (23 of 80) against Willamette University in the second round of the Lady Yotes Classic on Saturday, Nov. 25, but forced 41 turnovers and defeated the Bearcats, 70-54. Albertson took 34 more shots than Willamette and earned 22 offensive rebounds to offset the Yotes' poor shooting. The Bearcats shot 39.1% overall (18 of 46), but hit just 2 of 18 shots in the second half (11.1%). Albertson moved to 2-4 on the season. Willamette dropped to 0-5.
WU committed 21 turnovers in the first half, but shot a stellar 57.1% (16 of 28) to stay within a single point, 36-35, at the intermission. The Bearcats lost the ball 20 times during the second half and were unable to regain their shooting touch.
Albertson recorded the win despite missing 57 shots from the field and another nine shots from the line (22 of 31, 71.0%), as Willamette earned a 41-22 rebounding edge at the Yotes' end of the court. The Bearcats claimed an overall rebounding margin of 51-46.
Rebekah Wells (Jr., G, Bothel, WA/Edmonds-Woodway HS) led Willamette with 19 points. Wells also provided seven rebounds and three assists. Maggie Wilkens (So., G, Seattle, WA/Lakeside HS) tacked on 16 points, eight rebounds and three assists, while Keilyn Fujioka (Fr., F, Kailua, HI/Iolani HS) supplied a team-high 10 rebounds. Tracie Nygaard (Jr., F, Astoria, OR/Knappa HS) hauled down nine boards and earned five points.
The Bearcats converted 17 of 28 free throws (60.7%). Wilkens led the team by going 10 of 12 at the line. Willamette made just 1 of 6 three-point shots, as Selena Levy (Fr., G, San Anselmo, CA/Sir Francis Drake HS) hit her only 3-point attempt of the night to record the lone trifecta. The Yotes connected on just 2 of 9 three-point attempts.
Albertson placed four players in double figures. Christon Vander Esch registered a triple-double, with 21 points, 11 rebounds and 11 steals in 30 minutes played. Savannah Ames added 16 points, while Denise Hill achieved 15 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Whitney Clark contributed 12 points. The Yotes committed 21 turnovers and earned 28 steals. Both teams finished the game with 14 assists.
In the other second round game at the Lady Yotes Classic on Saturday, Eastern Oregon University defeated Westminster College (Utah), 68-64. EOU was 2-0 in the tournament, while Westminster and Albertson each finished 1-1 and Willamette went 0-2.
The Bearcats return to action on Friday, Dec. 1, in Willamette's Northwest Conference opener at the University of Puget Sound. Tip-off in Tacoma, Wash., is slated for 6 p.m. (PST). The Bearcats will also take on NWC foe Pacific Lutheran University on Saturday, Dec. 2, before returning home. Game time at PLU is set for 6 p.m. (PST).

Jack McElroy: Tennessee politicos now face PolitiFact's 'Truth-O-Meter'
There were several strong finalists for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting.
The Washington Post exposed abuses in the nation's immigration lockup. The Philadelphia Inquirer showed how politics had undermined the Environmental Protection Agency. The Wall Street Journal dissected the collapse of the financial system.
But the winner wasn't any sort of print journalism at all. It was an online initiative by the St. Petersburg Times that took the statements of politicians and fed them into an imaginary machine called the Truth-O-Meter.
The project may sound like silly, and biased, journalism. But PolitiFact, as the initiative was called, adhered to the highest standards of reporting. Political rhetoric was checked against strictly verifiable data. All sources of information were revealed, and the reasons for the Truth-O-Meter ratings were clearly spelled out.
Since then, PolitiFact has expanded to newsrooms in other parts of the country. Politicians in Texas, Ohio, Georgia and elsewhere have begun to see their remarks put through the Truth-O-Meter and given ratings from "True" to "Pants on Fire."
Today, Tennessee joins the PolitiFact network. The News Sentinel and its sister paper, The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, have launched PolitiFact Tennessee.
The project has both print and online components. Each Sunday and Monday, the News Sentinel will publish new Truth-O-Meter rulings, complete with details of the evaluations. Then, during the week, other rulings will appear on the Tennessee portion of PolitiFact.com.
Among the first batch of comments to scrutinized by the Tennessee Truth-O-Meter are U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen's claim that the Republicans have "never done anything" to lower the budget deficit, U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn's remarks about the 100-watt incandescent light bulb and state Sen. Stacey Campfield's assertions about the cost of drug tests.
Researching the Truth-O-Meter rulings is a team of veteran Scripps journalists: Zach McMillin in Memphis; Steve Ahillen in Knoxville; Richard Locker and Tom Humphrey in Nashville; and Bart Sullivan and Michael Collins in Washington, D.C.
Bill Adair, the creator of PolitiFact, is personally overseeing the Tennessee launch, as he has the launches of all PolitiFact sites.
Soon PolitiFact Tennessee will be expanding, too.
On Friday, WUOT's Chrissy Keuper will begin hosting weekly discussions of the latest Truth-O-Meter rulings during public radio's Morning Edition time. Tune in at 6:35 a.m. or 8:35 a.m. at 91.9 FM or go to WUOT.org.
Next Sunday, PolitiFact Tennessee will add another component: the Haslam-O-Meter. Modeled after the national Obameter, the Haslam-O-Meter will measure Gov. Bill Haslam's progress toward fulfilling the campaign promises he made.
We think you'll enjoy PoltiFact Tennessee, and you can help us use it to hold politicians accountable. Send suspicious political claims that you'd like examined by the Trutho-O-Meter to me or to email@example.com.
We look forward to your assistance, and feedback.

iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy S2
I'm looking to buying a new phone, but it's really hard to decide which one to go for. A lot of people are telling me that the Galaxy S2 is the best on the market, but I have been more keen on getting an iPhone.
Since this is a Mac-forum, I was hoping that someone in here could present some good arguments in favour of the iPhone.
I also have a MacBook Pro already, should this play any role in my choise?
I'm kinda lost to be honest.
Thanks for the help.
(Sorry if the english isn't top-notch)
1.) Integrates well with all your other Mac products.
2.) Most apps available for a phone currently (looks to stay that way)
3.) Can call and surf at the same time.
4.)Seems to have a better battery life compared to the competition.
5.) No worries about fragmentation.
6.) IOS 5 is around the corner.
If you already have a Mac, you'll probably like the simplicity if the iPhone.
If you are into customizing, go Android.
I say iPhone, but my opinion is biased. :)
I did the Android thing for awhile, but found it unsatisfying. I would say that if you enjoy tweaking and tuning your gadgets, then an Android phone might be fun (although it gets old eventually). If you want something that works consistently and doesn't require a lot of babysitting, get an iPhone.
The final straw for me was when HTC's UI would crash when I went to answer the phone, necessitating a wait for the UI to 'reboot' before I could answer the call (which I usually missed by the time it did its thing).
Another big problem with Android is the one thing they like to tout as a feature over the iPhone: Multitasking. Yes, it multitasks like a banshee... the trouble is, Google never bothered to apply any user control to it. So, basically all apps run all the time (very few offer you the option to close them) and there's no way built-in to terminate them. So your already terrible battery life is reduced even further until you get an "App Killer" and religiously terminate apps that you've run. And pray that your particular brand of Android doesn't have any firmware-launched apps (like Skype or CityID) that are launched by the OS - because if you don't root the phone, you'll never be able to kill them - they just launch over and over.
And then there's the apps - the whole point of a Smartphone.... let's just say that the best Android apps are not as good as the worst iPhone apps. Between bad UIs, poorly made apps, games that will only run on certain screen sizes and minor OS revisions, and the fact that NO ONE polices the app stores (you have to actually run an anti-malware product), apps are a nightmare to manage on Android.
Whew, that was a mouthful. I could write more on Android's deficiencies, but suffice it to say that like most Google products, it's a very appealing 'work in progress'.
I doubt I could make a more persuasive argument than cwa on this point, but while I know for a fact that there are some very nice Android phones out there (particularly if you're not going to get into apps beyond what came with the phone), there's just nothing like the iPhone 4.
ChangeWave: iPhone demand in US growing past Android | Electronista
Android, in addition to having some security and malware issues, also has some legal problems. People in the industry are paying a LOT of attention to Apple's recent win over HTC in ITC court, as the implications are fairly serious for Android.
But nevermind that, it's about the apps and the integrated OS, man. I used my iPhone as a personal hotspot today, what a lifesaver -- and so simple!! I was dumbstruck, even as a long time Apple fan, at how elegantly that whole experience went. I get that feeling a lot using the iPhone, it's just a remarkable piece of technology.
My main "argument" against Android is also my main argument against Windows: the OS is made by one party (who takes very little responsibility for any issues), the overlay of the OS is made by another party; the phone itself is made by yet another party; and the software available for it isn't really controlled by anyone, so low-quality and problematic apps prevail.
As I say -- I have a couple of friends that got an Android phone for various reasons (most of them budget-related), use them primarily as "phones with benefits" or "feature phones with Facebook" as I like to call them, and are perfectly satisfied with them. Android has a place in the market, an important place I'd actually say. Other friends of mine who've tried Android mostly gave up on it and went with what they really wanted: an iPhone.
But when you're in the "serious" leagues, there's really only one brand in the smartphone space. Apple.

Sky Bet go odds-on that Graham Westley will become the next manager of Stevenage in the wake of Gary Smith's sacking.
Westley looks the obvious choice to make a return to the club after Smith's nightmare spell, as he oversaw a run of 13 losses in 18 games.
Westley, who is currently priced at 2/5, was spotted at Stevenage's 2-0 defeat to Bury on Tuesday, adding fuel to the speculation about a return.
Sky Bet football trader Chris Spicer said: "Former Luton manager Paul Buckle is the 6/1 second favourite but the job looks to be Westley's to turn down.
"We've already seen a few significant wagers on the move, pushing the price from 1/3 to 2/5, but Westley was already odds-on when we opened the market."

Colloquium - Ray Buchanan (UT Philosophy) "Conversational Implicature and Content"
Mon, January 14, 2013 • 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM • UTC 3.134
Abstract: According to Griceans, a speaker conversationally implicates p only if she speaker-means p. Heck (2006) argues that once we appreciate a distinctive kind of indeterminacy characteristic of many cases of implicatures, we must reject this Gricean assumption. Roughly put, Heck's observation is that there are cases where it is clear a speaker has implicated something by her utterance, but there is no particular proposition - other than what the speaker said - such that we can plausibly take the speaker to have meant, or intended to communicate, it. While Heck's observation is not a problem for the Gricean assumption, it does call into question standard assumptions about the nature of our meaning-intentions, and the contents thereof. What is needed, I argue, is an account of meaning and communication that allows that sometimes speakers merely *endeavor* to communicate many propositions without outright -intending to communicate any particular one.

Pera must have inside knowledge of the EC, says Fawcet
Posted: November 20, 2012|
FREQUENT visits to Brussels have given Simon Fawcett good insight into what the Eurocrats want in return for their money.
As operations director at Pera Technology, which bids for millions of euros of European Union R&D grants on behalf of SMEs, it is Fawcett's business to make sure he knows which way the wind is blowing among the decision-makers at the European Commission.
It helps him and Pera's clients a great deal if he has an inside track on the kind of business projects the Eurocrats like to support and what they expect for their grants.
And the answer is: they want economic growth – and positive publicity. "They have told me that they want projects you can talk to your grandmother about and that your grandmother will understand," says Fawcett, an amiable and chatty Northern Irishman who joined Pera in Melton Mowbray over 15 years ago. "They want case studies; they want impact; they want to see a return; they want output that gives them column inches. They want Daily Mail readers and articles in the FT that say how great the EC is."
So now we know.
But what about Pera? Fawcett admits that, despite the company's prominent location on Nottingham Road in Melton, many people in the region do not know what the company does. Fawcett's part of the operation, Pera Technology, is essentially a scientific and technology R&D operation which helps businesses develop product ideas and make them fit for the market.
The R&D is largely funded by European Union grants – the current EU programme for this is Framework FP7 – which Pera bids for on behalf of the businesses.
This necessarily makes Pera experts in the lengthy and complex business of EU grant-bidding, which the businesses pay Pera for via a "subsidy". Such work also explains why Fawcett repeatedly flies to Brussels. "These bids can be 80 or 90 pages long and have to make a fully fleshed-out business case," says Fawcett.
"Of course anyone can make a submission to the EC, and people might say, 'so what's so special about you?'
"Well, anyone can look at a house and learn how to do the conveyancing. But most of us prefer to go to estate agents which have the expertise because they do it in day in, day out. That's the analogy I use. And I would say that Pera is the best in Europe at what we do because we are experts at it."
Pera, however, isn't exactly the Pera it used to be. Those with long memories will know that Pera started life in Melton as the Production Engineering Research Association, helping to win the peace by supporting industrial research in the post-war years. The organisation was owned by large manufacturing organisations, which provided its membership.
This quaintly antiquated system survived until this summer when an employee management buyout remoulded Pera as a normal independent private company. With the new direction came an ambition to grow and seek out commercial opportunities.
Unlike the old Pera, the new Pera is not hamstrung by limitations on investment, says Fawcett. The new Pera can borrow money to fuel expansion while the new ownership system also makes employees stakeholders in the company's success. "They were after the John Lewis business model and indeed our MD went and spoke to John Lewis about how they did it," says Fawcett.
Pera is also not just interested in forming partnerships with promising SMEs; the company is now seeking development relationships with blue chips. Fawcett won't name names but jokily refers to a certain company that makes big engines and another business which makes "rather nice chocolate bars" as possible project partners. And then there's the MoD, which needs body armour…
In the meantime, Fawcett is keeping an eye on the latest batch of SME projects to go before the European Commission. Last week he helped oversee the submission of grant bids worth a quarter of a billion euros on behalf of 120 business projects which included instant water heaters, nurse exoskeletons, plastics recycling and lots of "smart material" concepts.
Pera may take a stake in further developing these via involvement in trans-European consortia. A typical technology Pera has been involved with is a small Norwegian wave energy project that has received 1.5m euros. "You could set these up in the Trent and generate electricity," says Fawcett, whose home in the Lady Bay area of Nottingham is close to the river.
Green energy projects like this have become increasingly common in Pera's bids to Brussels.
"For the last two years there's been a lot of cleantech and smart technology and materials projects – materials such as a film you can put on your windows to generate power," he adds. "There's been a move away from big blue sky 'splitting the atom' research projects." Fawcett, an engineer by training, had experience of working with both renewable and non-renewable energy at GEC in Leicestershire before he joined Pera in 1995. Projects at GEC included building wind turbines and Rolls Royce's submarine nuclear reactor facility at Raynesway in Derby.
"At the time there were all these signs saying 'Derby – a Nuclear Free City'," he says.
"Yet right in the city was a factory making nuclear engines for subs."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (July 27, 2008) – In an afternoon marred by tire problems, the No. 26 Crown Royal team rose above the obstacle to finish a season-best sixth place. The No. 26 Crown Royal Ford Fusion piloted by Jamie McMurray, qualified in the top 10, and took the checkered flag in the top-10 position. This afternoon's finish moved McMurray to 20th in the Sprint Cup point standings.
After a well-deserved weekend off, the No. 26 Crown Royal team unloaded on Friday morning at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway. After two solid practices on Friday afternoon, the team posted the sixth-fastest time in Saturday morning's qualifying session; which would start the team on the outside of row number three for the start on Sunday afternoon.
Before a crowd of more than 200,000 fans, the green flag flew for pole winner, and eventual race winner, Jimmie Johnson. McMurray, who started the race from the sixth position immediately moved to the preferred racing groove – the inside line.
During practice on Saturday afternoon, Sprint Cup teams realized they could not go more than four or five laps on new tires before they began to show significant signs of wear. The abnormal wear in the tires led NASCAR to call for a "competition caution" on lap 14 of the race. During the needed pit stop, NASCAR teams up and down pit road noticed a major problem – the tires were unable to go more than 10 or 12 laps before they would be left with nothing.
As the problem escalated, NASCAR stepped in and called for another caution period just 12 laps later on lap 29. Again, the No. 26 Crown Royal Ford came down pit road for four fresh tires, and fuel. McMurray returned to the track scored in the ninth position.
Following the pit stop, crew chief Larry Carter came over the radio and told McMurray, "we need to finish today's race. I think we are in a good position, and if we can maintain our track position, and save our car, I think we can come out of here with a good finish. There are a lot of unknowns this afternoon, but if we all work together, we can make the most of today, and show a good finish this afternoon."
The problems continued for all the teams – the tires would not hold up after 12 laps of green-flag racing.
The No. 26 team continued to follow the instructions of NASCAR by coming in every 12 laps and taking on new tires. Occasionally, Carter would call for two tires, and others it would be four tires and fuel. Regardless of the call made in the pits, the No. 26 Crown Royal pit crew stuck together and knocked out some of their fastest stops of the season.
During the final pit stop of the afternoon, Carter called for a two-tire stop as McMurray entered the pits in the ninth position. After clicking off a 5.8-second stop, the No. 26 pit crew gained two positions for McMurray, as he returned to the track in seventh place.
With just seven laps remaining in this afternoon's race at the Brickyard, McMurray was able to pick up an additional position to finish a season best sixth place.
"It's just frustrating this afternoon," said McMurray following the race. "They said the track was getting better in happy hour, but we didn't see that and it never really did take rubber. I got really mad in the middle because they were letting us run until the tires were blowing up and I'm like, 'You can't put us in that situation.' You've got to throw the caution before we blow a tire because if someone gets hurt, we could have prevented that. Thankfully, they let us run about 12 laps and they'd throw the caution. Just about every time the caution would come out, the lap before I'd be like, 'I'm done. Here it is.' That's an odd way to race. In the end, it was a great afternoon for this No. 26 team and for Crown Royal."
This afternoon's finish moved McMurray up two positions in the Sprint Cup point standings to 20th. Next weekend the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series returns to Pocono Raceway for the second time this season. The action begins at 2:00pm on ESPN and MRN Radio.

EDAS service
EDAS - EGNOS Data Access Service
On 26th July 2012, the European Commission launched the EGNOS Data Access Service.
A new service from EGNOS is now available! EDAS (EGNOS Data Access Service) provides a terrestrial commercial data service which offers ground-based access to EGNOS data. EDAS is the single point of access for the data collected and generated by the EGNOS infrastructure which is composed of ground stations (currently 40) distributed over Europe and North Africa. The main types of data provided by EDAS are:
- Raw GPS, GLONASS and EGNOS GEO observations and navigation data collected by the entire network of Ranging and Integrity Monitoring Stations (RIMS) and Navigation Land Earth Stations (NLES)
- EGNOS augmentation messages, as normally received by users via the EGNOS Geostationary satellites
The EGNOS Helpdesk (email: firstname.lastname@example.com, website: http://egnos-user-support.essp-sas.eu, telephone: +34 911236555) is the main contact channel available for users to register, ask questions about the status of EGNOS services and performances and consult the EDAS Service Definition Document (EDAS SDD) which can also be found in the documents section below.
NEW: the EDAS Service Definition Document v2.1 has been released (December 22nd, 2014).
Background information
EDAS -the EGNOS Data Access Service- allows you to plug into EGNOS to receive the data collected, generated and delivered by Europe's first satellite navigation system. EDAS therefore provides the opportunity for service providers to deliver EGNOS data to users who cannot always view the EGNOS satellites (such as in urban canyons) or to support a variety of other value added services, applications and research programs.
The EDAS Service is provided by ESSP (EGNOS Service Provider) under a contract with the European Commission.

About Sokol - The Russian Manufacturer of MiG Fighters
Nizhny Novgorod Aircraft construction plant SOKOL was found in 1932. It is one of the leading companies of the airspace industry in Russia. To this day, it has produced more than 43,000 aircraft. The company is the successor of the Gorky aircraft building plant, named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze, originating from October 21, 1929. It was on that day that the Labour and Defence Council of USSR passed a resolution to construct the aircraft building plant № 21, in Nizhny Novgorod, which was built within an unprecedented short time (in 21 months) and on February 1, 1932 the plant was put into operation. In the August of 1932, the first aircraft took off – the I-5 fighter, a biplane of mixed structure, designed by a team headed by the outstanding designer Nikolay Polykarpov. From 1932 until 1934, the I-5 fighter was in mass-production, and starting in 1934, a new high-speed fighter, the I-16 was being developed. The first prototypes of the I-16 were tested by Valery Chkalov, a Soviet Union Hero and chief-pilot of the plant between 1934 and 1938, a legendary pilot who became famous all over the world with his non-stop flight from Moscow to USA over the North Pole.
The I-16 had, all told, 22 versions and was the primary fighter of Soviet Air Force up to the beginning of 1942: it fought in the Spanish skies, over Hasan lake and the Halhin-Gol river. Soviet pilots were flying this aircraft during the initial period of Second World War. In November, 1941, under the guidance of the future Chief Designer Semyon Lavochkin, the plant started mass-production of the La family of planes (the plant supplied a total of 17,691 aircraft to the armed forces... every forth fighter manufactured in the country. The first La-5 participated successfully in Stalingrad battle and was equal to the typical Luftwaffe aircraft - FW-190. La-5FN in quantity was first tried in summer of 1943 in air fights on Kursk Duga: it exceeded German fighters in many of the characteristics and was further acknowledged, along with La-7, one of the best fighters of the Second World War. It was in the fighters designed by Lavochkin that the famous pilot, three times Soviet Union Hero Ivan Kozhedub brought down 63 fascist aircraft.
The year of 1949 was the starting point of the creative relationship between the plant and Mykoyan Design Bureau. From that time, the plant became the world reknowned producer of MiG fighters. The first aircraft of this family is MiG-15 jet aircraft designed by A. Mykoyan and M. Gurevich. It was mass-produced in the plant from 1949 to 1952. In 1950-1952 the combat performance of this aircraft were proven in Northern Korea sky. The MiG-15 fighter was produced under license in Poland and Czechoslovakia.
Between 1952-1954 the plant produced MiG-17 fighters, and from 1955 to 1957,the MiG-19, the first soviet supersonic aircraft was produced.
In 1959 the plant started mass-production of the famous MiG 21, which became the most prolific supersonic fighter in the history of world aviation.
From 1969 to 1985, the plant was mass-producing the fighter-interceptor MiG 25 - the first fully welded aircraft in aviation history, with 80% of airframe structure made of high-strength steel and titanium. The MiG 25, having established 29 world speed records, including climbing capacity and flight altitude, not only defined further development of world aviation, but initiated a new generation of combat aircraft. The development and mastering of this aircraft gave rise to a technical revolution in the company. Reconstruction, which began at the end of the 60s, made the Gorky aircraft building plant one of the most "high-tech" manufacturers of the industry. Starting in 1979, the plant was mass-producing a heavy long-range interceptor... the MiG 31, the first home-grown combat aircraft of the forth generation.
During the 45 years of MiG family mass-production the plant manufactured about 13,500 combat aircraft; the most famous of them – the MiG 21 and MiG 29UB – these were exported to more than 30 countries round the world. During the 1990s the company started the major upgrade project for MiG 21 / 29 / 31 fighters.
In 1996 the Nizhny Novgorod aircraft building plant started a joint program with the Yakovlev Design Bureau, developing a challenging aircraft - the YAK-130 intended for pilots and flight personnel training. Later on, a combat-trainer YAK-130 was developed. It was capable of acting as a multifunctional tactical fighter. In April 2004 manufacture of the first combat-trainer YAK-130 was completed at Sokol, and the aircraft, in its production configuration, made its first flight from the company's airfield.
Currently, apart from manufacture, modernization, testing and maintenance of military aircraft, the main activities of JSC NAZ Sokol are those related to civilian products, in particular, light aircraft such as the turboprop multifunctional aircraft M-101T "Sokol" (former "Gzhel") developed by the Myasishev Design Bureau, Sokol is actively participating in international support within the civil aviation market, as a manufacturer and a supplier of aircraft components for leading European aviation companies such as Aermacchi S.p.A. (Italy). Main Current activities of the Sokol plant:
- Design Works
- Production of Military Aircraft (MiG 31E Fighter-Interceptor, Fighter-trainer MiG 29UB, version B Combat trainer Yak-130)
- Upgrades (MiG 21 BIS upgraded)
- Civil Aircraft Production (M-101T - light passenger turboprop)
- Flights in fighter jets MiG 29 for tourists from Russia and other countries
Sokol is a member of the United Aircraft Corporation of Russian Federation. In 2008 the UAC Board made the decision to give exclusive rights for manufacturing of the main range of MIG fighters to the Sokol air base in Nizhny Novgorod.

This user is a notable member of
the 500 club!
Welcome to Teni's world.
I am a tech writer by day (writing software manuals) and a copy editor by night. Amazing I still manage to play WoW a lot.
Most of my contributions to WoWWiki are in the form of copy edits for readability. I really enjoy being able to take what might be confusing descriptions, and editing them to make them easy to read and understand. To me it's almost like a puzzle, like taking a ball of knotted-up yarn and getting it all untangled.
My recent project has been clean-up all the embedded YouTube videos people have been jamming into boss tactics pages, determining whether they are appropriate, and moving them to a text link list.
I play mostly casters. I'm not a keyboard-turner but I don't have the fast twitch responses I need to play a tank or a rogue, I think. It probably also explains why I kind of suck in Arenas.
I play on carebear servers. As of August 2009 I have 2 level 80 priests and an 80 fire mage. In April 2009, I applied to and was accepted to a progressive raiding guild on Draka-US. The guild bemoaned its lack of Discipline-specced priests, so I gave it a shot... and I have never looked back. As of May 2010, we are working on the last handful of Icecrown Citadel bosses on 25-man heroic.
In an effort to learn as much as I can about the abilities of all healing classes, I also have a level 80 resto druid. I hope to be able to level a shaman and paladin as well.

Myself, I'd reduce the cream, use it to temper the eggs, and get that all good and thick and 170 degrees in advance. Strain any curds, then cool rapidly over ice. When you get to the site, heat a little butter in each pan, add the sauce and the cheese and stir until it's thick, add pasta and serve immediately. Garlic and nutmeg should probably go in with the cheese, so they taste fresh. You could get away without the eggs entirely, but you'd have to reduce the cream in advance by a great deal, which would raise your food bill immensely (you'd have to allow about 1/2 pint of cream per serving, because you'd be reducing it by more than 50% to get the thickness).

butter in a large pot....add 8 quarts of heavy cream....bring just to a simmer...add three pounds of cream cheese and 3 tbsp of kosher salt...blend
with a wand or buere mixer....thicken very lightly with corn starch water slurry....a tad less than you feel you need to.....add parm reggiano when you put your pasta together, not ahead of time...anything with cheese will burn or scorch when you reheat...much easier to add cheese during assembly of pasta...and a little nutmeg if desired....garlic? I wouldn't expect it in mine....this sauce is snow white, very stable, and although it is not a reduced sauce and has no egg, it catches up in richness because of the cream cheese.....nice, light, good option for banquets or high volume lines...good luck....

true Italian "Alfredo" sauce is only butter, parmigiana reggiano and the starchy water from your boiled pasta. The french bastardized it with garlic and nutmeg.
It goes as follows,
-boil your pasta al'dente
-just as it is almost done, begin warming a few pats of butter in a saute pan.
-using a spider, lift your pasta out of the pot, being carful not to let all the water drain away.
-over medium heat, toss it with a handful of parm, if its too thick add a little more of your pasta water, if its too clumpy, add use a little more butter next time.
finish with chopped Italian parsley.
a la minute.
for your party, defiantly make your sauce ahead of time using either of the aforementioned methods.

On heat, I reduce my cream by about half. I remove the cream and using the same pot, I then add a touch of butter and garlic to the now empty pot. Once the garlic releases its aroma, I add the cream back into the pot and bring to a low/mod. simmer and start cutting-in pieces of butter (room temperature) until I get that nice buttery-creamy taste and it is fully incorporated. Then I add a decent amount of parmesan to get that final alfredo tang, and which also seems to thicken the sauce nicely. I sprinkle in fine-chopped fresh parsley (juice squeezed out) just for color. Season if you like with salt/pepper/white pepper (and I usually add just a smidge of cayenne). And that is it!
It has never broke on me and has sat for stretches at a time both on heat and in a thermos.
The tip that helped me get this recipe was "to prevent breaking, more cream, less butter." Sorry about the lack of measurements. Like I said, I do this in small batches for my family and just kind of eye it. But maybe you can get some ideas from this. I think America's test kitchen has a decent non-breaking sauce too....Good luck!
I am just starting out with a catering business. Been doing on the side for while but mainly cooking "home cooking" style meals for weddings, birthday partys, Christmasn dinners, etc. I have no professional training. Cooking is natural for me. But my question is I have a wedding buffet style coming up and they want chicken alfredo. How can this be done for such a large crowd (200 people) and keep the sauce smooth and creamy? It's easy to do small quantities but I need it go on the buffet line.

On a buffet line I would handle differently then other ways . I would make a Bechamel Style Alfredo.( a roux with the use of 1/2 & 1/2 cream ) That is more on the style of a Mornay sauce made with Parma cheese . This will hold up better then a real Alfredo. Don't forget it will be sitting in a non-controlable heated chaffing dish for x amount of time. By cutting the butterfat content of sauce you will control breaking, and seperating.

Try to preserve your joint health. Anyone who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis should take care not to put their joints under any unnecessary stress, as it will lead to more pain.
Women who have arthritis should avoid wearing shoes with heels in favor of supportive running shoes. Any shoe that stresses the feet is also going to stress the joints, even those in the back. Instead, try wearing running shoes whenever possible, or orthopedic dress shoes when you have to go to work. You want to make sure that you are also looking for something that can lower the effects that arthritis has, and works to stop further joint damage while easing your pain. Your condition may deteriorate if you delay treatment while you seek appropriate remedies. Find a physical therapist and accept their treatment. Therapy is a great way to help out with your arthritis, as it lets you know that you aren't alone and you can get through this problem. In addition to helping arthritis suffers deal with their physical problems, therapy can address other issues that commonly occur along with arthritis like depression. Sit or stand properly when at all possible. Regardless of what you eat or how much you exercise, it is your posture that really has a great bearing on your arthritis pain. While sitting, make sure your back is straight, and when you stand, keep your feet about twelve inches apart. Doing so should cause you to have a better posture and minimize pain on your joints. There are plenty of medicines that are designed to help with arthritis. Take them exactly as prescribed and they should keep the pain to a minimum. If you do not think the medicine is helping, call your physician for advice.
Don't be reluctant to use the arthritis medication that your doctor has given you to deal with arthritis pain. Prescription medicines are tested to be safe in the amounts prescribed, and your doctor gave them to you to help you reduce your arthritis pain and symptoms. You will never know if alternative treatments for arthritis work for you until you try them. There is a whole world of therapy, exercise and alternative herbal and supplemental treatment to explore. Most forms of alternative therapy are good for your general health as well as your arthritis, so you have nothing to lose.
One major symptom of rheumatoid arthritis is loss of weight muscle mass. The painful symptoms and the body's subsequent release of chemicals often causes people to lose their appetite. An individual who has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis must keep this fact in mind; it may become necessary to take dietary supplements to ensure proper nutrition.

I work around the corner so take out lunch here all the time. Every time I have a take out salad I kick myself after. They put like 4 pieces of lettuce in their take out salads. For $14 for a salad they should be giving way more lettuce then they do! I am going to stop taking out soon BC the value is just poor here. It's a shame bc the food is good and fresh.

Service has been really mediocore on the most of the 8-10 times my husband and I have been there (we live on the block). Food is OK, atmosphere can be noisy.

The bread basket is full of a variety of delectable breads served with butter and jams. The coffee is hot and the service is quick if you get there early on the weekends. Wonderful change from the standard bagel fare on the UWS!

After trekking through NYC and walking up CPW from W 59th, my fiance and I were dying for a bite to eat, and a doorman on CPW suggested Le Pain Quotidien. What a treat! We warmed ourselves with their delicious Belgian hot chocolate and ate fabulous sandwiches of aged guyere cheese and cornichons. We were most impressed. I highly recommend Le Pain Quotidien. It's just a short walk from Strawberry Fields for those who, like me, come to pay their respects to JL.

If you go on the weekend, it's an hour wait for a seat. That said, the breads are fabulous and the food is fresh and delicious. You have to share tables though. When it's so crowded, service can be a bit harried.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2006 Vice President Richard B. Cheney yesterday thanked Michigan National Guardsmen for their service to their state and nation, and talked about the war on terror and the central fronts of Afghanistan and Iraq.
In a time of war, the National Guard is absolutely vital to protecting the United States, Cheney said at a rally for Guardsmen and their families in Wyoming, Mich. He said Guardsmen serve to defend the country and to respond to natural and man-made disasters. "I want all of you to know that we appreciate the work you do, we respect the sacrifices you make, and we admire your skill and your devotion to duty," the vice president said.
Since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 80 percent of the Michigan National Guard has been called to active duty, Cheney said. They have served in Bosnia, in ground support operations in Iraq and in training missions in Afghanistan. "The assignments have been varied, but the standard of performance has been high and unwavering," he said. "You've put duty ahead of convenience and service above self-interest. It is impossible to overstate how much Americans in uniform have done to make this nation safer, and to bring freedom, stability and peace to a troubled world."
Five years ago, Cheney said, Afghanistan was saddled with a merciless regime that harbored terrorists and plotted murder for export. "Today, Afghanistan is a rising nation with a democratically elected government, a market economy, and millions of children going to school for the first time."
Guardsmen and their active-duty compatriots understand what is at stake in the war on terror, Cheney said, and so do the terrorists. "That is why they commit acts of random horror, calculated to shock and intimidate the civilized world," he said. "The terrorists know that, as freedom takes hold, the ideologies of hatred and resentment will weaken and the advance of free institutions in the Middle East will produce a much safer world for our children and grandchildren. The war on terror is a battle for the future of civilization. It's a battle worth fighting. It's a battle we are going to win."
The vice president reiterated that Iraq is the central front in the war on terror. Having removed a dictator, the coalition is working with Iraq's leaders toward a mutual goal: a democratic country that can defend itself, that will not be a safe haven for terrorists, and that will be a model of freedom in a troubled part of the world.
"Our strategy in Iraq is clear, and our tactics will remain flexible," he said. "Progress has not come easily, and we can expect further attacks from those who are opposed to freedom. Yet there is no denying the hopeful signs, and we can look to the future with confidence. All of us live in a better world because (al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-) Zarqawi is dead, Saddam Hussein is on trial, and Iraq is free."
Cheney defended the U.S. government's terrorist surveillance program, saying the program is to monitor international communications that officials believe are related to al Qaeda or to a terrorist network. "It's hard to think of any category of information that could be more important to the safety and security of the United States," he said.
Cheney called a judge's decision ordering the program to cease "just plain wrong" and said he is confident the decision will be reversed.
The vice president said the United States will keep its word to defeat terrorists. "We will carry on in the work that is ours to do," he said. "But for all the effort that lies ahead, this period of testing for our country is also a time of promise. The United States of America is doing great good in the world by defending the innocent, confronting the violent, and bringing freedom to the oppressed.
"We're a good country, a generous, compassionate, idealistic country. We are doing honorable work in a messy and a dangerous world," Cheney said. "By defending ourselves, by standing with our friends abroad, we're meeting our responsibilities as freedom's home and defender, and we're securing the peace that freedom brings."

Texas music from the likes of Jerry Jeff Walker,
Johnny Bush, Willie Nelson, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and more. "She's still trying to teach me to dance but I can't get over the 'two left feet' thing.
" He has two grown kids, Shawna and Chance. Shawna is a teacher and Chance manages a gun shop. And of course, his granddaughter ,

" "A junior high school speech teacher told me that I had a good voice for radio," he recalls. "I thought, ,
'Well, that isn't really working - I could do that!'"
Although he's entertaining on the air, Jim is serious when talking about his 20-year radio career.
In addition to being part of the Cumulus Media Networks' Country air staff since the mid '80s, he programmed KKYX-AM in San Antonio.

along with their country music favorites.

STOCKTON, CA - Stockton Police identified the elderly woman murdered at her home on Downing Avenue Thursday as 84-year-old Hazel Dingman.
Dingman's body was discovered by her daughter Thursday around 4:00 p.m. and police say there were obvious signs of trauma to her body and she may have been sexually assaulted.
The secluded three-acre crime scene is so complex, several different detective units were assigned to investigate.
"We have our burglary detectives going through their cases and we have sexual assault detectives going through sex offender registrants living in the area," said Det. Joe Silva on how the department is trying to piece together what happened behind Dingman's fenced-in property.
Dingman's property sits back on a dirt road with the Interstate 5 southbound ramp along the left side and a creek to the right. Despite her home being secluded, Dingman was a visible neighbor. Employees at a nearby Food 4 Less grocery store said Dingman walked to the store every day. She didn't keep a routine, choosing to go to the store at different times on different days.
Police are still trying to figure out how the killer or killers got on her property. Det. Silva said the department has no new leads or suspects.
"We are looking at robbery as a possible motive. Items were strewn throughout the house, but we can't confirm that it's robbery."
Dingman's murder is Stockton's 35th homicide this year and the 13th homicide committed in broad daylight.

These boys are very hot and very straight but most of all they are broke. Rather then lose their apartment, girlfriend, etc. they do sexual things with other guys for some quick cash.
This scene is from BSB heaven. Brandon Beale, Blake Bennet and Johnny Forza in a raw three-way. And guess who will play the role of the pass around bottom? The cute boy sitting between Brandon and Johnny. :-) Johnny is the only one who has experienced a trio off camera (with some lucky ladies). He is confused by the question, however. "It's late," he whines when he gets the cameraman was asking about trios with the opposite sex. "Don't be a bitch," Blake observes. Not an expert in these matters, but is that the type of comment the meat in a man sandwich should be asking? :-) However, Blake does come up with his new nickname. "Bottoming Blake Bennet bare backs," he says with his trademark smile. All three stand up and strip. Johnny is wearing what he calls his "blow-job pants." "Easy access," Blake asks. "Are you a little nervous, Blake," the cameraman wonders. "Yeah. Are you kidding me," Blake responds. "The oth

Well, guys I got this back from GAINWARD regarding my sound issues with the Geforce FX5900 Ultra!! I sent mine back and got the MSI but it's some response... altohugh the noise issue went away after installing the Antec truepower 550 PSU!!
Here it is.....
So sorry late for reply your mail.
We really find the sound of this graphic card when use some application.
But it doesn't effect the function and operating.
We also feedback this condition to EDOM company which is nVIDIA sole agency in Taiwan.
EDOM feedback to nVIDIA and nVIDIA reply to EDOM as following:
" I have seen this before. And I believe this is normal manufacturing variance in inductor technology. Basically the glue inside the inductor is not doing its job, and the wires are rattling. I have heard this from other products in the field. This does not effect the product from operating correctly, just more noisy. If this is a show stopper we may have to push back on the inductor manufacturers..."
Hmmmm, I guess gainward ain't that bothered?? and have shrugged it off as being normal........ (sorry modorators for my next statement) That's BOLLOX! I would strongly urge people not to buy GAINWARDS FX5900 series!!
Gigabyte KT400 (using onboard LAN)
