I've recently switched isp's and have just noticed that when I go into any game on any of the servers I frequent, the lagometer shows spikes in the green and ping rises as soon as I stop moving. As long as I'm hitting +forward, +left, +right, +back, +up, or +down, ping will stay right around 40. It usually doubles or more as soon as I stop pressing one of these commands. I first noticed this while hitting +scores after a death or a round was over, so hitting +scores does not keep my ping stable like +movement does. Any suggestions on trying to fix?

Very friendly staff, clean rooms and excellent location.
Modern, new or like-new interiors, clean sheets and bedding, location extremely close to the Acropolis, very convenient self-serve laundromat on site.
Breakfast very minimal, limited, leaves one hungry an hour or two later. Free parking is free street parking which is often so coveted by locals that finding a space takes lots of hunting and time. WIFI worked for me downstairs but not in rooms.

when i've used esbits & lit with a sparker, i've brought a small dropper of alcohol - couple drops on the esbit tab & it takes a spark pretty readily
Just got my Caldera Esbit system, and my first impressions are so,so?1) Seems as if the boil times are slower than my BPL Ti wing stove and Firelite 550 mug. (16oz water)2) Actual overall tablet burn time seems much faster as well, with the Caldera system?3) I have a hard time lifing the Fosters can out, without burning my hand, (yes this is with the beer band in place)4) Stuff-sack fits too tight over the Fosters can/pot.I'd like it to be large enough, to fit over the can, with a can cozy over the can as well, which would also protect the can while stuffed inside your pack.With my BPL Ti wing stove I can boil 12-16oz of cold water, and still have enough Esbit left burning to heat another 12oz for my morning coffee (not to a boil, pre-treated water) IMHO, there is way too much air space in the Cone, thus wasting heat or the transfer of heat.What I've found with my BPL Ti wing stove, is that the tighter I wrap my windscreen around my pot the faster Boil times I get and the longer the tabs will burn.I probably need to actually use the Caldera system longer though, before I pass final judgement.

What I've found with my BPL Ti wing stove, is that the tighter I wrap my windscreen around my pot the faster Boil times I get and the longer the tabs will burn.Same here. I use the Ti Wind stove and literally "wrap" my windscreen around my pot. That said, I haven't used the Caldera setup so cannot comment on it's efficiency.
I had an esbit wing stove but it's legs fell off. Was this just bad luck or has anyone else had this problem? I am trying to decide if I should buy another or try something else. I am using Vargo Triad Titanium Alcohol/Fuel Tab Stove right now but it does not work very well with my small ti cup.
Mary just get a small nut/bolt from the hardware store or rivet the legs back on. Mine are still attached but I've heard of this happening to others.
> I had an esbit wing stove but it's legs fell off.Quick - shoot it!Yeah, some of those rivets were ... not good.Hardware store, small bolt and nut.Cheers

SAN FRANCISCO - June 17, 1998 - The Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) today presented its first annual "Marketer-of-the-Year" award, honoring leadership in the use of the Internet as an effective marketing tool, to Intel Corporation. The award was presented at a luncheon ceremony during IAB's annual meeting held here.
"Intel has shown how marketers can best harness the brand-building and sales-building power of the Internet," said Rich LeFurgy, IAB Chairman and Senior Vice President Advertising, Buena Vista Internet Group, who presented the award to Intel. "Intel is using the best of what online offers marketers today, as well as experimenting with what's coming tomorrow."
Jami Dover, Intel Vice President & Director of Worldwide Marketing, accepted the award on behalf of Intel.
"The IAB Board felt Intel's overall achievement was extraordinary for its broad and extensive use of the Internet and for its very effective integration of online into the total marketing mix," LeFurgy added. "Strategically, Intel used most of the different multi-tasking tools of the Internet to implement a combination of brand advertising, relationship marketing, and ecommerce."
As examples, LeFurgy cited a promotional program for Intel's Superbowl "whodunnit" that integrated both broadcast and online, as well as a multi-site sponsorship Intel created to reinforce the audio/video capabilities of the Pentium II processor. He also highlighted the Intel Inside" Co-Op Program, which represents 10% of the Intel Inside" marketing funds. This program encourages Web publishers to create "processor-demanding content" by subsidizing its development," LeFurgy said.
In presenting the Marketer of the Year to Intel, the IAB also presented individual awards to four Intel executives for their contributions to the overall effort. The recipients of individual awards were Jami Dover; Shawn Conly, Interactive Advertising Manager; Claudine Macklin-Ryan, Interactive Marketing Program Manager; and Suzanne Brisedine, Director, Rich Interactive Advertising Programs.
"Intel's online marketing leadership was truly a team effort with broad corporate support," LeFurgy said.

Tyler Ulis will make his college decision on Friday, but those looking for a sneak preview should peek at this Twitter forecast from ESPN's Jeff Goodman.
Michigan State conceding Tyler Ulis to UK, moving to backup plan. "Tum Tum" Nairn will visit East Lansing this weekend, source told ESPN.— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) September 12, 2013
Nairn is Lourawls Nairn Jr., a 5-10, 165-pound PG prospect from Sunrise Christian in Wichita, Kan. ranked No. 78 overall in 247Sports' Class of 2014. So if that's the case, we know that the other available point guard offered a scholarship by Kentucky, Tyus Jones, won't be headed to Lexington. And it would also seem that there's no need for him to go through with his planned visit to UK on Sept. 25-27, either.
That leaves three other schools in the running for Jones—Baylor, Duke and Kansas, with the latter two schools being ones he has yet to visit. Jones will be visiting both Kansas (Oct. 18-20) and Duke (Oct. 25-27) with good friend and presumptive college teammate Jahlil Okafor.
Duke's position as the "closing" school leads many to believe that the Blue Devils are the frontrunner for both players. However, as we saw with Andrew Wiggins' decision to choose Kansas over Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida State, the Jayhawks can't be counted out. And neither can Baylor, with both Jones and Okafor indicating that they enjoyed their visit in late August to Waco.

Sedona, AZ 86336
View Website
* Click here for rating key
Enchantment Resort Hotel Review: Nestled within the beautiful canyon country of West Sedona, this southwestern flavored spa resort offers some of the most peaceful and luxurious accommodations anywhere in the west. The natural setting is truly gorgeous---a palette of red rock canyons, deep blue skies and verdant juniper forests---and although Sedona is not a large town, it will feel like a major metropolis when compared to the seclusion of Boynton Canyon. Sedona is believed to have magical, healing energy and guests are likely to believe this after a stay in one of the adobe casitas tucked right into the canyon. Amenities include outdoor pools, whirlpools, saunas and a full service spa, Mii amo. Mii amo is the reason many come to the resort, with its Kiva style architecture and vast collection of natural healing treatments exhibiting distinctive southwestern and Native American influences. Guests can also enjoy such recreational activities as jeep tours of vortex sites, hiking, horseback riding and biking.

BURNELL SWITCH, TEXAS. Burnell Switch was a switch and loading track on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad at the Karnes-Bee county line. It served the Burnell oilfield, which extended across Medio Creek into Bee County, and reported three businesses and a population of ten in 1940. After World War II the businesses all closed, and in the early 1990s only a few scattered farmhouses remained in the area.

Disk ejects like job is over but it is still running and can't cancel
Have a small companies server running backup exec. 2010 with a Dell RD1000 USB disk backup device.
It has recently started acting to me like the RD1000 has issues?
It will finish the backup and eject the tape but backup exec. says the job is stil running.
A couple times a week or so ago I could cancel the job and it would end it and say it completed succesfully?
The last couple days I say cancel and it never cancels. I can not restart the backup exec. services without rebooting the server.
I have ran a database check and have recreated the job and it still does this.

Make sure that you are fully patched by running live update, and ensure you have the latest firmware for the device installed. You can also try pointing the job to another location like a local disk to see if the behavior for the services replicates.

Sounds like a plan.
Yes it is patched up all the way. Checked that.
But they do have a local drive with plenty of space to run a backup to it.
So I am going to wait and see if it ends on its' own today.
It did time out eventually last weekend but after many hours.
Do you know if there is a way to get the license out of the setup if I decide to uninstall it and re-install it or does the customer have to dig that up?

When you reinstall you will import the license keys back from the folder location to where it was moved to. The folder will re-create itself in the license file directory, so there is no need to place it back.
To import a Symantec License File (SLF):
1.From the "Add Licenses" screen, click Import From File.
2.Browse to the location where to you saved the .slf file.
3.Select the SLF.
4.Click Open.

I don't know whether it will help your problem, but you might want to download the RD1000 utility and install it. See this comment
Well I have to appoligise. :)
I am spoiled I guess and am used to any alerts popping up so I can see them and respond.
I did some more digging on line and found a user with a issue pretty much the same and they said look at the alerts tab.'
And low and behold I had one asking me to respond to the disk being out.
Today I responded for the second time and while doing that I reviewed the auto reply and it was set for 3 days.
So I have set that for 10 minutes and will see how it goes tomorrow but pretty confident it is good.
I am not sure why that changed? I swear I did not change that part.
Like I told the customer I have seen software magic happen many times over the years.
So thanks for the help will see if this works right tomorrow.

When I was a kid, dad took me to the store bought me boots, and that was it. They fit, were warm and I had no problems at all. Now I try to get a pair of backpacking/winter travel boots and I am having trouble. How do I fit a backpacking boot? (I am a hard core backpacking shoe fan!) Toe blisters = too small. Heel blisters (heel lift) = too big RIGHT?I bought a pair of Asolo 520's for winter backpacking, snowshoeing, ocasional crampon use. I had toe blisters and cold feet wiht a size 10. I sent them back (Backcountry.com yea!) and got a size 11. Now I have horiable heel lift problems, with blisters and sore feet. Too big? They don't make a 10.5. I even tried to adjust my sock "stack up", no help. Is it as easy as ordering another brand wiht a 10.5? When I get them how will I know that they fit well wiht out putting 25 miles of hell in them? Thanks BPL!
Maybe try something like a super feet insole in the 11's to decrease the volume and help with heel lift. Using a thin liner sock with your normal sock should help as well. I would also explore some of the creative ways to lace your boots to help lock your heel down.Most well built boots I have used have taken some time to break in. If you are doing 25 miles out of the box you might get blisters with just about any boot.There are a lot of good boots out there. Maybe Asolos just don't fit your foot correctly.Matti
Edited by Matti on 12/20/2009 19:59:22 MST.
I get heel lift (and heel blisters) to one degree or another in every boot I've tried, the result of low volume/wide forefoot/extremely narrow heel feet. That's why I switched to wearing either trail runners or sandals. I'd never buy shoes, let alone boots, via mail order if I didn't already know exactly how that brand and model fit me.Also, I can't believe that Asolo doesn't make boots in a 10.5. Maybe backcountry.com just doesn't have any in stock.
It bears repeating, buying boots via mail order is a bad way to do it! I sell boots for a living (well, peanuts actually, but they make good trail food). You've got the general idea right. Keep plenty of space in front of your feet, but not so much that you have excessive heel lift. It's key to find a boot that holds your instep and heel well. That's what will reduce heel lift. The best way to find a boot that works, is to try a bunch on, in various different lengths. I repeat, mail order is a bad way to buy a boot.
With a lightweight pack there is no real need in such heavy boots IMO. Asolo 520's are very heavy stiff boots. Even after a good amount of break in time you are always going to have heel lift and blisters. Switch to a lighter boot/shoe and you will most certainly get a better fit. Besides that you should have a good pair of quality merino or synthetic socks with liners on. You might want to look into some custom insoles as well. I prefer Montrail Enduro thermo-moldable insoles.James, I to have a narrow heel and wide forefoot. Montrails fit me best. Plus it is my expierence that wearing sandals alot throws off the shape of my feet especially in the forefoot and arch. It makes them wider and flatter. Joseph
Andrew,Here's my experience, for what it's worth.First, none of the boots most retailers like to carry fit me. After years of suffering, got a pair of custom Limmers years ago that were perfect, even though they weighed almost 5 lbs. Those wore out after several thousand miles, and later Limmers fit poorly. I did the "bootcamp" thing - a waste of time, travel and money. Tried two other custom bootmakers with no luck, and lost $$$ with one. What to do?First, after 3 tries, found a good podiatrist, Matthew Burrell in Fryeberg Maine. Persuaded him to reluctantly prescribe and obtain a pair of PAL carbon fiber custom orthotics with reinforced blue Spenco footpads. Next, since I already knew that Asolo, Merrill, and all the other brands most often found at EMS, REI etc. would not fit, I tried not quite so common brands like Danner, Zamberlan, Keene, Garmont, etc in the stores with my custom footbeds. I even found a pair of cheap ($30) Nevados that fit well, fair weather friends that have no water resistance. Whenever I go gear shopping, I bring along the footbeds and try them in several different brands.I also use a "nine iron," or thick composite flat footbed underneath the orthotic footbed in the one foot that is shorter and has less volume. My feet are narrow in the heel, and splayed at the toes, so boots long and wide enough at the toes are cavernous in the heels, and boots that are snug in the heels crunch the toes.So far, I have found several pairs that fit OK - not as well as my first Limmers or the raggedy Nevados, but they are sturdy and waterproof enough for treks.Like the other posters, I have found that the lighter boots are easier on the feet, although I don't go for running shoe height as I enjoy dry feet if possible. Hiking with wet feet would also destroy my footbeds after a while. Good lightweight low W/B gaiters can help with keeping the feet dry also. But most of the best long distance hikers i read about on this and other sites seem to go for the running shoe height, which must mean something. My own theory is that conventional hiking boots, by "supporting" the ankles, also limit ankle movement, thus putting unusual strain on the leg muscles and meniscal cartilage in the knees, which means pain, and for older hikers, serious damage.But, whatever you believe, I agree with most of the other posters that if your feet are not easily fit, it is best to 'try before you buy.' When I do mail-order boots, it is with the knowledge that 90% of them will have to go back, and as with the store bought ones, they cannot be used outdoors until I am absolutely sure I will want to keep them. So, I wear them around the house in the evenings.This all works much better for me than the outdated method of soaking the boots in a bucket and walking them dry.I am hiking comfortably now, and the $400 for the PAL orthotics were worth every penny.Sam Farrington, Chocorua NH
> Toe blisters = too small. Heel blisters (heel lift) = too big RIGHT?Well, sort of. Certainly you have the front bit right.The heel - I suspect that this problem is a mismatch between your foot shape and the last the boots were made on. This is harder to handle.One solution is to scrap the whole boots idea and go to soft low-cut joggers. Works for many experienced walkers. Even works for winter/snow use - we have articles about that for subscribers.Cheers
Hi,Question for Sam F.I have similar problems with finding a boot to fit, and you mentioned that you had found some that fit OK, could you please let me know what brands/model they are?Thanks heapsShon
Thanks for all the great info. I normaly hike in ( 300 or so miles a year) in low top merrels. LOVE THEM but, for snow or cold conditions I need a warm, rigid, boot for snow shoes, kicking steps, and ocasional crampon use. I like the idea of runners or light shoes but not for snow shoe and crampon use. I have tried a few diffrent lacing tecniques, and a couple sock stack ups. I always us a linner sock and merino wool. I Studied the fit last night and it seems to be that there is too much room in the Heel Cup. I hae to tie the boot so tight that it hinders my stride just to get my heel to sit still. Any Ideas?
I Like the Idea of using insloes to adjust volume of the boot. Anyone have any experiance in heel lift being helped my insoles? If so what do I look for in an insole?
> but, for snow or cold conditions I need a warm, rigid, boot for snow shoes,> kicking steps, and ocasional crampon use.Actually, people have climbed serious mountains in mid-height joggers with crampons, and lots of us go snowshoeing with joggers these days.Step kicking is fine with a stiff sole on the jogger and there are plenty which have this.Warmth - I reckon double socks and joggers 1/2 size larger will give you MORE warmth than stiff leather boots. That's how we travel at BPL.Leather boots and dinosaurs have several things in common.Cheers
I have extremely high arches and other foot issues, so, I feel your pain...Here is one resource I can recommend:http://www.fitsystembyphiloren.com/I went to fit clinic put on by Phil and the local mountaineering shop. It was well worth the time.Also, different lacing techniques may be worth a look. Do a web search and see what you can find. Here is one article to give you some ideas:http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-267--12334-0,00.htmlGetting boots that lace farther down toward the front of the boot can give you more lacing options.A good boot fitter will have other tricks. I use a pad under the laces in the forefoot area of my boots to help push my foot back into the boot. This works in conjunction with semi-custom footbeds to stablize the foot.Hope this helps.
First, I am 100% sure that 10.5 does exist in the 520. Heel lift can be a huge problem with boots as stiff as these, especially when they are new. A boot "learns" where to break and until it has the heel lift is greater. Obviously it's designed to break at a certain point but it takes time for it to get broken in. Because shoes are designed to flex at the ball of your foot the measurement from the heel to the ball of the foot is sometimes more important than the overall length. ie. My feet which measure ~8.5 overall but ~9.25 to the ball. ok ok stop laughing at my short toes.As others have pointed out there are many ways to modify the fit of a boot, I won't repeat. I will offer a few others. First if the entire boot has too much volume one can add a product called 5-iron which is very dense 1/8th inch EVA under the sock liner/insole. Another trick with a heavier boot like the 520 is to mold the heel. I've never done it myself but have seen it done. This is the process: Basically one dips the heel of the boot wrapped in a turkey bag into hot water (boiling or nearly so)for 1-2 mins until the plastic heel cup in the boot becomes pliable. The boot is then put onto the foot, laced up and the heel is squeezed tight and held while it cools. Ice helps speed things up I think. Once cool the heel cup should retain the new shape and hold the heel better. Last, more space can be created on a rubbing bar if there is certain spot or two that just don't work on a boot that's right everywhere else. It would be nice if everyone could just put on any pair of size X boots and they would just work, but that's not the case for many many people. This is a huge reason why footwear is getting lighter, cheaper and more disposable, but... I don't want to go off on a rant here.Best of luck! I hope you find some you like.Dave
Thanks Dave, I did find them in a 10.5. However not at backcounty.com. With a little more research I should be able to figure it out. Thanks for the Advise everyone!
Shontelle,My best all around boots are Danner Radical 452's with some modifications. Since they are a lace-to-toe boot, I had all but the lowest eyelets replaced with hooks, so I can adjust the tightness at each hook while lacing, in the same manner as Limmers. Then, Peter Limmer (Peter Limmer & Sons, Intervale NH) was kind enough to stretch the toes on his machine with some heat for a couple weeks to give me a much needed extra 1/4" or so length at the toes. (I would never try this myself) He also did this for me with a pair of Keen mids, which feel great, but I have not used them enough yet to know if they will be OK over the long haul. Do not recall the model name for the Nevados, but they were their least expensive mid, not waterproof, but excellent for walking the shelties a couple miles. The Zamberlan model has been discontinued. The Danners are Goretex lined, and appear to have excellent leather and construction. Had them out snowshoeing today for several hours and my feet stayed dry without gaiters and the boots were unfazed as always. They are my second pair, the first ones having been eventually worn out doing trailwork. Danner also makes a very flexible orthotic (not like the clunkers the podiatrists love) that they sell with some models, but also sell separately.Hope this is helpful. (I have no connection with Danner)Sam Farrington
Joseph Morrison said: With a lightweight pack there is no real need in such heavy boots IMO. Asolo 520's are very heavy stiff boots. Even after a good amount of break in time you are always going to have heel lift and blisters.
I'm going to call BS on the heel lift and blisters bit. I think maybe you were doing something else wrong. Have you actually used these boots?
Every year hundreds of people need to be rescued from mountains - esp in the European Alps (relatively young mountains and hence often steep).The most common causes of injuries are inappropriate equipment and lack of skills/experience.Light weight gear - esp. shoes - is great.However, before opting to use low-cut boots or trail runners on more demanding hikes, you need to be sure that your feet and legs are sufficiently strong and that you don't have any other problems, e.g. a tendency to roll your ankles. Most people should stick to a boot that provides adequate ankle support when venturing into steep terrain or scree. Low-cuts or joggers should only be used by strong and experienced hikers.
Among the various Superfeet insoles, the following has the narrowest and most supportive heel cup: "Superfeet REDhot Premium Winter Insoles. Designed for ski and snowboard boots, the Superfeet REDhot insoles align and control the motion of your feet, improving balance and power transmission." The green Superfeet have a wider and less supportive heel cup.

I think I looked at about fifty different banana muffin and bread variations before finally deciding to make these muffins. My objective was to make something healthy but special. I didn't want plain old banana bread and I sure didn't want something that was boring and dry.
Luckly, I had bookmarked Jenny's recipe for these banana muffins a few months ago. And since I wanted Matt to be able to enjoy the treat as well, I obviously had to trade out the peanut butter for something my husband wouldn't make a face at.
Considering I've had an open jar of Cookie Butter forever, it was the perfect solution. The molten center full of oozing speculoos spread is the perfect surprise when you break open the otherwise wholesome banana muffin. The muffins are actually low in fat and have the perfect balance of healthy enough for breakfast but good enough for dessert. You know how I love that.
Oh, and considering I practically inhaled one when I went to just taste a sample, you know they are good.
Cookie Butter Lava Whole Wheat Banana Muffins
Makes 14 muffins
1 cup Cookie Butter (or speculoos spread of choice)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup mashed brown bananas (about 2 medium)
3 3/4 ounces (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
2 ounces (1/4 cup, packed) light brown sugar
2 x-large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup low fat buttermilk
5 1/2 ounces (1 cup) whole wheat flour
1 3/4 ounces (1/3 cup) oat bran
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees; line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside
In a medium bowl, mix together cookie butter and powdered sugar
Use a medium cookie dough (about 2 tablespoons) scoop to scoop a ball of cookie butter mixture into each cupcake liner
In another medium bowl, whisk together flour, oat bran, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside
In a large bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients (bananas through buttermilk)
Stir in dry ingredients just until combined
Use a large cookie dough scoop or ladle to evenly distribute batter into cups (over and around cookie butter filling)
Bake 20-25 minutes or until a knife comes out clean from center
Note: These muffins are best when they are still warm from the oven but are still good covered at room temperature for up to two days after baking. To get the full lava effect, microwave the room temperature muffins for about 7 seconds each.

Cowgirls win sixth straight
The Hardin-Simmons University women's basketball team got double-digit scoring from six players Thursday and coach Shanna Briggs got a chance to empty her bench as the Cowgirls routed Ozarks 91-53.
The victory extends the Cowgirls' winning streak to six games.
HSU (8-2, 5-1 in American Southwest Conference play) took control of the game early, using an intense pressure defense to force turnovers, and an effective inside game to get layups.
Behind strong performances by freshman post Lindsey Newcombe and junior guard Ashley Allen, HSU rushed out to a 16-2 lead in the game's first five minutes.
Nine first-half points by Allen's sister, Haylee, allowed the Cowgirls to stretch their lead to 44-23 at halftime.
Briggs' squad forced 18 turnovers in the first half and held the Eagles to just 33.3 percent shooting from the field.
"We try every game to come out with the same high intensity regardless of who we're playing," said Haylee Allen, who finished with 13 points and five rebounds.
"We always try to be tough on defense every possession, and I thought we did a good job tonight of hustling every play and denying the passing lanes," she said.
With such a large lead in the second half, Briggs got all of her players into the game. Eleven of the 14 HSU players scored, including six freshmen.
Allison Bray, a freshman forward, made the most of her 15 minutes, scoring a career-high 13 points.
"It felt really good to be able to step out there and get some playing time," Bray said. "I was really glad I could step in, increase the pace and help the team."
While the Cowgirls have no starters from last year's squad, they have had a bundle of players step up and contribute this season. Whether it was underclassmen such as Haylee Allen, Newcombe or Bray, or veterans Ashley Allen, Rachel Cisneroz or Mollie Brawner, the Cowgirls had little trouble on either half of the court against Ozarks.
Those six players combined for 74 points, helping the Cowgirls tie a season-high with 91 points.
"We have a quite a bit of depth on this team," Bray said. "We're able to run a lot of different people out there and not lose a bit. It doesn't matter what five is out there, we feel like we can play well."

Will the extension of the Russian military presence in Armenia and its status change the balance of power in the region?
Of course, the balance of power in the region has changed though nothing new has happened in terms of the situation in the region. Merely, the term of the Russian base in Armenia has been prolonged which means the previous situation has been preserved.
Does the change in the status of the Russian military base in Armenia target Azerbaijan?
When they withdrew troops from Georgia and relocated them to Gyumri, Russia said they were not targeting Azerbaijan. Nonetheless, even without these statements I believe Russia will never defend Armenia if Azerbaijan starts military actions in Nagorno-Karabakh to liberate its occupied lands. People in Russia are convinced that if they interfere in this conflict, they may lose the entire Caucasus. In this respect, the world community, states and power centres, use the presence of the Russian military base in Armenia in order to make us give up the liberation of our land. This is being done even when there are no changes in Armenia's military power and no significant changes in the balance of power in the region. The West is pursuing its interests in the policy of persuading Azerbaijan to reject the use of military force to liberate its land. The West's interests once pushed Georgia to war against Russia. The West was pursuing the goal of deepening the enmity between Russia and Georgia. The West wants Georgia to remain an enemy of Russia, regardless of who is in power there.
Who does the Russian military base in Armenia target?
The extension of the term of the Russian military base in Gyumri is intended for the future. Russia continues behaving as the former Soviet Union in order to become a country that determines the fate of the world. Therefore, I believe one of the main factors in extending the term of the presence of the Russian military base in Armenia is Russia's self-assertion as a superpower. I suppose Russia's actions target the United States, since it is difficult to imagine that this base is targeting Turkey, with which it has brilliant relations, or Iran, with which Russia also has historically good relations.
What steps should Azerbaijan take to neutralize any possible threats from the Russian base?
Official Baku has chosen the right way on this. Azerbaijan acts correctly by refusing to join the Collective Security Treat Organization. We must not join the organization, I mean the CSTO, of which Armenia is a member - Armenia that occupied part of our land. Azerbaijan should also not seek NATO membership. We should continue an independent policy and remain neutral.
How does Armenia benefit from the presence of the Russian military base on its territory?
It is clear that Armenia lacks resources therefore, it is obliged to look for a supporter in Moscow. Armenia's economy is fully dependent on Russia. Armenia's dependence on Russia is so strong that it does not even ask for means for the base maintenance. Armenia has already played the role of a weapon for Russia against the regional countries. It will continue playing this role at least until 2044, that is, until the completion of the term of the agreement on the presence of the Russian military base in Gyumri.

For about the same price as traditional whirlpools, Safety Tubs® walk-in tubs offer patented and patent-pending comfort-enhancing exclusives including:
- The Minute Drain™ that empties Safety Tubs up to eight times faster than conventional drains eliminating the discomfort of waiting to exit.
- The patented T5™ Door System that eliminates the need to step over the front of the tub allowing safe and effortless entry, and guaranteed watertight for life.
Water healing, or hydrotherapy, has been used for thousands of years to treat common ailments such as arthritis, back pain, muscle cramps and many others said Rob Buete, chief executive officer of Safety Tubs, LLC.
"It's not an experience you can get from a shower," Buete said. "To make hydrotherapy a reality for more people, Safety Tubs invested in what matters most to users: eliminating the discomfort of waiting for the water to drain, and making it easier to get in and out of the tubs.
The Minute Drain is a powered pump that drains water up to eight times faster than typical drains. Equipped with safety suction and an on/off control, the Minute Drain is easily activated with a touch of a button. The Minute Drain requires no additional plumbing.
The T5™ Door System Technology has a watertight seal created by the Safety Tubs Santoprene® tube that runs the length of the door edge and sits snugly against the doorframe. As water fills the tub and the water pressure against the door increases, the weight of the water further compresses the tube, creating an even tighter seal and preventing any water leaks. The door cannot be opened when water is in the tub.
Tested to support over 350lbs, the T5™ Door System aluminum frame and hinge prevent the tub from warping or twisting over time due to moisture changes in the bathroom. It is designed to be easy for bathers to open and close.
All Safety Tub models have comfortable built-in wide contoured seats and a built-in color-matched handrail. Options include:
- The Hydro Massage Air Bubble System™, Hydro Massage Jet System™ or both in the Dual Massage System™.
- The exclusive Legs Only Massage™ option directs the flow of water solely to the well area of the tub for a quick, rejuvenating leg massage.
- A Deluxe Back Massage of multiple, strategically positioned jets for the most comfortable and therapeutic lower back massage available.
- Chromotherapy with multicolored lights in the basin of the tub to illuminate the water.
- An aromatherapy kit with four fragrances, distributed through the jet or air bubble massage systems.
- A self-cleaning sanitary system that oxidizes and eliminates disease-causing microorganisms.
- An in-line heater to keep water warm, eliminating the need for refills and reducing water and energy usage.
- Premium faucets with rapid fill rates and scald-prevention.
- Hand-held shower for the added convenience and safety of seated showering
- Sizes that fit existing tub spaces to minimize installation costs, as well as larger sizes. A bath extension kit adjusts smaller Safety Tubs to fit an existing recess.
The first to engineer cast acrylic walk-in tubs, Safety Tubs baths are supported by a patent-pending freestanding, precision welded metal support frame. Since acrylic is nonporous, the tubs are better able to resist mold, mildew and staining over time, making them low-maintenance and easy to clean. Safety Tubs retain their color and luster to stay in showroom condition year after year.
"Walk-in tubs can help many people feel better while maintaining their independence and dignity," Buete said. "Everything about Safety Tubs is designed to give you the freedom to bathe on your own, in safety, comfort and convenience. The freedom will change your life!"
Safety Tubs brand walk-in tubs are available nationwide through home centers and select plumbing showrooms. Suggested list prices range from $4,700 for a bathing pool model up to $9,800 for a fully loaded 60-inch Dual Massage model.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A former Ku Klux Klan leader has pleaded guilty for his role in a 2009 cross burning outside an Ozark neighborhood.
Twenty-eight-year-old Steven Joshua Dinkle entered a guilty plea in federal court Monday to obstruction of justice and conspiracy charges.
Federal prosecutors say Dinkle and another man built a 6-foot wooden cross and set it ablaze outside a predominantly African-American neighborhood.
Prosecutors say Dinkle initially lied about his involvement. He later admitted that he was trying to scare and intimidate the residents of the neighborhood.
Dinkle is the former exalted Cyclops of an Ozark chapter of the International Keystone Knights of the KKK.

Big Sound in a Crew Cab
Hey all! Names Cory.
SO this is the story on how I got a big system in my truck.
For starters I have a Crew Cab 08 F250.
I know this is a big topic on crew cabs because a lot of people ask about this all the time. So here is the story about my mission to get big bass and a rocking system in my truck.
So before my truck I had a 03 Mustang GT. Well all of my friends had there tuner and ricer cars with their big bass. Just Bass. Well I liked the bass but I hated how it drained out the music.
So after months of looking and debating and reading reviews I found what I had wanted to put in my car. The muscle car of the group.
With my Income tax check and a little extra I bought my things.
A JVC Arsenal KW-ADV794 Double Din w/Bluetooth.
2 Rockford Fosgate P1 D4 12s 250rms
Rockford Fosgate R-500 Mono amp
4 Rockford Fosgate 5x7 Door speakers
After I bought every thing I had it all installed in my car. Was a great day. Well after a while I didn't like my system as much as I originally did. So I started looking for bigger subs. I found 2 Rockford Fosgate P3 D2 12s 500rms with a Rockford Fosgate 1000bd Mono block amp.
Installed that myself with a friend and it hit really hard.
Well, way down the road, I wrecked my car. They totaled it for false damage. After a long long argument with the wrecker company, they agreed to let me get my things out. So I ripped all my things out and put the old back in.
Then after my search for my truck finally paid off. I began for the search on how to put my P3s behind my rear seat.
So here goes. I looked for ways to move my seat and I come up with this place called -Underground Audio Styling- That works out of Florida. They made Brackets for 08, 09, and 10 trucks that moved the Rear seat forward up to 2 inches! I called them up and they told my they make them per order and they were a $100 shipped plus tax. So it was around $109. I placed my order and received them 4 days later. Turns out they just hard plastic about 3/4 inch thick with holes drilled in them with rounded edges. In my opinion, not worth $100, but ehhhh already bought them.
They didnt come with bolts and nuts so I stopped by my local hardware store and got 6 bolts, I think 3/8s, 6 washers and 6 nuts.
I took out the rack under the rear seat. Next I put them in my truck, and let me tell you, what a pain in the BUTT! took a little over an hour by myself. Would go by so much quicker with 2 sets of hands. I used the original bolts and nuts to mount the brackets to the original holes and stuck the bolts threw the bottom of the brackets and slid the seats on them, bolted them down, and boom, done. It looked good and there was plenty of room behind the seats!
Now it was time for the Install. I took my JVC, Speakers, P3s and Amp to the audio place - American Audio in Knoxville TN - dropped off my truck and 10 hours, yes 10 hours later, I got my tuck back with an amazing sound system in it. Sadly I didnt get any pictures of the actual install but I got these tips from the audio place. They Built the ported box all made of wood, and crammed it behind the backseat. Just a little over 4 cubic feet in the box. They had to take the rear middle seat belt bracket out to get the most out of the area. We had talked about it before and I was okay with it. NO cutting was done to the back carpet. The subs seem tight and flush up against the seat but there is a ring around them keeping them off the seat and about half the sub is open below the seat so they can breath really well. The huge amp is mounted under the driver rear seat with all the wires tucked and hid. There is only a few wires I could find, and believe me, I looked. Since I didnt want 1000 watts hitting me in the head all the time I had a Bass Equalizer Knob installed where the factory Imput Line was. Its really nice because I can dictate how much bass I want from the from seat of my truck and it Looks factory! With the box behind the seat it still looks almost factory with the rear doors open. You can barely see the box back there. There is no sign of a system in the truck unless you look for it.
So here are some pictures for you to see. Any Questions, comments or Compliments you can ask here or pm me. Because I'm sure I forgot something about the install. And I'm sure people will be interested in the install which is why I posted all of this!
So Thank You All!
Cory Anderson

Nice pics bud. how do ya like that sub amp? I wanna go bigger with mine. I have an ol school rockford fosgate punch 250A2 running my 10s. but its cutting out lately, when it gets hot
This is the older model Rockford T1000 amp. It puts out around 1200 watts or more at 1 ohm. Its pretty nasty if you ask me. Its running my 2 P3s 500 watts a piece with no problem. Clean and clear too! I love this amp and would definatly buy another one!
Where did you buy the box?
Good to see pictures of those brackets bc I bet I can make some. Good idea. Just worried about how much it will take away from my ability to do my amp rack under the rear seat...
My plans:
2 MB quart shallow 12" woofers 600watt
2 MB quart 5.25 component in front 100watts
2 MB quart 6.5 components rear doors
2 MB quart 6x8 coaxial behind rear seats
MB quart 800.1 amps x2 (one per sub)
MB quart 450.2 amp x1 front rear doors
MB quart 200.2 amp for rear coaxial
Kinetic dry cell and 8 farad capacitor
Kenwood dnx6180 head unit
Bass knob/MB quart passive crossover
Dynamat all over the place.
Box will be modified super crew sound
08 dual 12" sealed shallow woofer box.
I plan to modify this box and I'm sure when I do this install around July when I get home to the states I will take plenty of pictures I may even try to add a 3rd 12" just gotta find the c/ft air...don't think it will happen. Dunno how it would sound if I threw one under my center console also... Not sure.

I gotta start out by saying I don't think these brackets are just the run of the mill average plastic. I think they are something special, but I'm not sure what. I'm wondering if you could do a heavy duty pair out of 3/8 or 1/2 inch steel plates. Just cut them into squares, then you could grind the corners off. If you have a drill press you can easily drill the holes in them.
I think the absolute maximum air space you could get is around 5 cub ft. And that's taking the center seat belt out and either not having power rear window or taking the motor out. Then you'd have to build the box all the way to the bottom of the window. Where mine is about 4 inches below it.
Now if you make your own brackets, you don't have to do 2 inches. You could do 3. Or even 4 which would put the seats about where a extended cabs are. But you'd have to built seat belt extensions for anything over 2. But you could have a huge box for 3 Subs!! But.. but but, it'd take even more room away from your amp rack.
After saying all that, your set up sounds really sick! I bet it will sound good! Are you gonna get some tweeters in there?
Yeah I'll be putting MB In the sail panels forgot to mention that

The Westminster Kennel Club has awarded Best in Show since 1877, making it America's longest continuously held sporting event, with the exception of the Kentucky Derby. And we always look forward to the big show, which begins Monday at Madison Square Garden. Everybody has their cherished memories—who can forget when announcer Joe Garagiola cheerfully remarked about a female dog trotting by, "look at that sprightly little bitch"? That's a moment that just doesn't comes along very often.
There are always controversies and curiosities and intriguing new breeds (this year we welcome the Rat Terrier). There are favorite dogs denied glory (Cinders, the dignified wire-haired Dachshund, was runner-up a few years back to a possibly alien Pomeranian). There are also, of course, unworthy victors (the infamous Banana Jack, from last year, may be the most upsetting winner in the history of organized sport). Then there are beloved legends, (Josh, the Newfoundland, Stump, the Sussex Spaniel, Hickory, the Scottish Deerhound) . These dogs are remembered longer than most NBC sitcoms.

Op-Ed: We Give Trees a Green Thumbs Up – Some New Yorkers Prefer a Different Finger
Illustrator: Trudy Smoke
Publisher: The John Hopkins University Press
Publication Date: Oct. 2011
In mid-October, the city reached the halfway point in its ongoing campaign to plant one million new trees in the five boroughs over the next decade.
That same week, a New York Times article by Lisa Foderaro took us by surprise by listing the myriad grievances against New York's trees. And that was also the same week we released our book — a celebration of street trees and the small army of New Yorkers who take care of them.
We recognize that there are challenges with planting a million new trees and making New York an even greener city, especially in tough economic times. But our hope is that New Yorkers can focus on the positive aspects of trees and use them as an opportunity to work together to make their neighborhoods healthier and more beautiful.
Instead of curtailing the city's ambitious program, we feel it would be productive to educate more New Yorkers on how to care for their street trees.
We believe that this is a positive use of the 311 help line. And citizen engagement around trees helps the Parks Department do its job — otherwise, it's impossible to catch every broken branch of every tree. It is wonderful that we can look out our window, see a tree that needs care and report it to 311.
It is true that some newly planted trees have met early deaths, as the article points out. The Times article notes that 7 to 11 percent of new trees die within two years of planting. Only a pessimist would use a statistic like that to call the million trees program into question because that means 89 to 93 percent of city trees survive and thrive. This figure is even more remarkable considering the spate of extreme weather the cities have witnessed in the past few years.
In contrast to the gripes and concerns in the Times article, our research brought us into contact with locals who revealed another side to the story.
Everywhere we went in the five boroughs, we met people who knew and loved their communities' trees. In fact, average residents, not city officials or contractors, became important sources of information about the history and life of the trees on the blocks where they lived.
New York's trees are cherished by extraordinary people. People like Susan Strazzera, also known as the "Tree Lady of City Island" for her work in making sure that trees get planted and cared for. People like Christy Van Kehrberg, head of Green Shores NYC's street tree committee in Astoria, Queens, who invited us into her house to talk about the trees she has personally nurtured. People like the owner of a small marine supply store in the Bronx, who proudly showed us pictures of the tree planted in front of his store.
And myriad neighborhood associations throughout the five boroughs like the Brooklyn Heights Association and the Hamilton Heights Homeowners Association in Manhattan, are dedicated to the care and health of both new and established trees.
And of course there are those whose livelihood is to care for trees, and train thousands of volunteers, through organizations like Trees New York, MillionTreesNYC, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, NYC Parks Green Thumb, New York Botanical Garden, Department of Parks and Recreation and the New York Restoration Project.
Trees are an important part of our city's infrastructure. We need them in our lives, to bring beauty to our streets, clean our air, improve our property values, absorb storm water runoff so that it does not flood out our sewers, shade us and our homes in summer and provide shelter and food for our birds and other wildlife. We have to care for them through thick and thin.
If you haven't yet, take a tree stewardship course at Trees New York or any of the organizations listed above. Become a Citizen Pruner! You will step into the world of caring people: the kind of New Yorkers upon which the natural world of our very green city depends.
Leslie Day is the author and Trudy Smoke is the illustrator of "Field Guide to the Street Trees of New York City."

His ankle and hand were badly injured in a grenade blast. A Chinese soldier had a gun pointed in his face. The situation was bleak for Pulaski resident and native Herbert A. Miller.
I knew I was going to be shot, so I just laid there, he said Thursday.
The sergeant was injured during fighting with Chinese and North Korean soldiers near Unsan, North Korea, in November 1950. Unable to move, he had stayed in a ditch for about 12 hours, until a passing enemy soldier saw and confronted him.
Before the soldier could fire, Mr. Miller was saved when a chaplain, Capt. Emil J. Kapaun, pushed the enemy soldiers weapon away, then pulled Mr. Miller off the ground.
Why that man never shot him, I dont know, he said. Usually they wouldve shot him and me, too.
Mr. Miller, 85, was one of a handful of Korean War veterans who were at a White House ceremony to posthumously award Chaplain Kapaun the Medal of Honor.
Im glad they finally did it, Mr. Miller said. He was extraordinary. God had put him there for a purpose.
Mr. Miller and his rescue by Chaplain Kapaun were mentioned by President Barack Obama during the ceremony.
After the rescue, Mr. Miller said, he, Chaplain Kapaun and other members of the unit were forced to march for about two weeks to a North Korean prisoner-of-war camp. For much of that grueling journey, Chaplain Kapaun carried Mr. Miller.
He would carry me for a ways, then put his arm around me and Id hop along on one foot for a way, he said. Thats the way we went.
Mr. Miller said Chaplain Kapaun refused to put him down despite his protests, and remembered being told If I put you down, theyll kill you.
The assistant platoon sergeant from 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, said he wondered how the tall and slender chaplain had the strength to carry him.
It must have been the Lord making sure he had it, he said.
In captivity, Mr. Miller said Chaplain Kapaun moved between groups of soldiers, offered medical aid along with prayers and words of encouragement.
I know well get out of here, I know we will, Mr. Miller recalled Chaplain Kapaun saying.
The last time he saw Chaplain Kapaun, Mr. Miller said, he was being taken away, with a bruise visible on his face, by enemy soldiers.
Chaplain Kapaun died in captivity on May 23, 1951. After nearly three years in captivity, Mr. Miller was freed in August 1953.
Mr. Miller said bringing up the memories of Chaplain Kapaun was like trying to swallow a baseball.
He did so much, and never made it back, he said.
The decades of waiting for Chaplain Kapauns Distinguished Service Cross to be upgraded to a Medal of Honor was frustrating, Mr. Miller said, adding that the chaplains brother died two years ago.
It shouldnt have taken so long, he said.
Mr. Miller will attend a ceremony today honoring Chaplain Kapaun at the Pentagon.

Thursday, November 8, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
In the early 2000s, it was common for Parkview to wrap up the regular season with a region championship.
The Panthers won five region crowns over a six-year span, but have not been in the region title race in recent years.
That can change tonight.
Parkview (7-2, 6-1 region) can win its first region title since 2004 with a victory at South Gwinnett.
"It's fun to be in this position. The ebb and flow of football in this region is so good," Parkview head coach Cecil Flowe said. "For anybody, titles and championships mean something. To be a region champion again would be a big deal."
Since Parkview's last region title, Brookwood and Grayson have held a firm grip on the crown. South is the only other school to win the Region 8 championship. The Comets did it in 2003 when they didn't play Parkview in the 13-team Region 8. South needs a win and a Grayson loss to secure the region title. A South win and a Grayson win would make the Rams region champs.
"It hasn't been done but twice in 53 years," South head coach John Small said. "It would be a great accomplishment for our kids and our program."
South's only losses this season have been to Region 7 champion Norcross and defending state champion Grayson. The Comets (7-2, 6-1) tasted a humbling 41-0 defeat to the Rams three weeks ago. They've respond with a convincing win over Archer and a comeback victory over Brookwood last week.
"That was a wake-up call for us," Small said of the Grayson game. "When you get hit on the chin like that you have to respond."
South trailed by two scores in last week's game before quarterback Jordan Ramey led a fourth-quarter comeback. The senior threw a touchdown pass and scored the game-winning TD on a four-yard run.
"He played very well. He's gotten better every week," Small said.
South's defense sealed the win with a Reggie Carter sack and Nicholas Hylton interception.
"They are as good as they've ever been," Flowe said. "I think defensively they are better than they have ever been."
Parkview put itself in position to win a region title when it defeated defending state champion Grayson in the region opener. The Panthers were cruising through the regular season until they lost to Central Gwinnett two weeks ago.
"It comes down to blocking and tackling and taking care of the football," Flowe said. "You have to play your best football."
The Panthers will be without running back Chris Carson, who injured his leg last week against Berkmar. Parkview will rely on a stable of running backs to replace Carson, led by Justis Rosser.
Carson didn't play in the loss to Central and the defense will be tested by another spread offense.
"It's going to be a great challenge," Small said. "They have a defense that's right up there with Grayson's and their front seven. It presents a huge challenge."
South has won three of the last five meetings against Parkview. The Comets' chance of hosting a playoff game next week is impressive considering the team went 3-7 a year ago.
"Our guys have done a great job staying the course. We've put ourself in the position we want to be in," Small said. "Our goals are still intact and that's what you want going into Game 10. I'm happy for our players and coaches."
