2006 Toyota Pickup • 400,000 miles
It give alot of black smoke
October 7, 2011.
October 7, 2011.
Black smoke indicates that the air/fuel mixture is too rich (too much gas and not enough air). Check the air filter, check temp sensor, check fuel pressure regulator. If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned for trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it for free and it should identify where the problem is coming from.
Thanks very much, am student of the penn foster college and I newly start out working at work shop and I think ill need help
Glad to help. Let me know what you find.
Plz can you tell me which scan tool is the best one to buy, because I would like to buy one some day
As far as the turbo, I doubt that is the issue. What I suggest is to go to a parts store for the scanner. Now keep in mind, not all scanners can read all codes. On that can read them all will cost a ton of money. If you want a basic scanner that can read engine codes, you should be able to get one at a parts store for under 100 bucks. I'm not allowed to recommend brand names, but they all work.

Archaeological Research in Timbuktu, Mali
Insoll, Timmothy, Antiquity
Surprisingly little archaeological research has been conducted within the well-known city of Timbuktu, which is listed as a World Heritage site on account of its historical significance. In spite of surveys of the standing monuments (Pefontan 1922; Mauny 1952), and of parts of the surrounding region (McIntosh & McIntosh 1986), the city remains largely untouched. In contrast the history of Timbuktu is well known (see for example Herbert 1980; Saad 1983). To rectify this imbalance a preliminary survey was conducted within the city limits of Timbuktu in November 1996. The aims of this were twofold; to look at both the standing monuments, about which a fair amount is known already, but also to delimit possible areas for future archaeological excavation. Thus all the quarters of the old city were covered on foot, as were most of the outer suburbs and cemeteries which ring the city [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED].
Unfortunately, the survey was not as simple as originally envisaged. Primary factors were modern occupation and shifting sands obscuring archaeological deposits. 'Peaks' or 'islands' of archaeological deposits appeared though the sand deposits and areas of modern housing, providing snapshots into the settlement history of Timbuktu. The issue of contemporary occupation overlying and obscuring archaeological deposits is obviously not unique to Timbuktu, but the degree to which 'ensablement', or the build-up of wind-blown sand, occurs in Timbuktu is dramatic. Within the Sankore mosque, for example, the recent accumulation of sand was attested by the literally disappearing doorways [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 2 OMITTED]. Aerial photographs and satellite images would not be much help in overcoming this problem, except at the outer edges of the city, where they have proved their worth in the survey of the now un-occupied hinterland of Timbuktu (McIntosh & McIntosh 1986). The problem of archaeological visibility evident at Timbuktu is not such a factor at comparable urban centres on the Niger Bend. At Gao, for example, where two seasons of excavation and survey have thus far been completed, the 'medieval' settlement is clearly discernible, and it has proved possible to begin to delimit the different quarters of the town (Insoll 1995; 1996; 1997).
Delimiting the precise areas of primary occupation in Timbuktu based upon survey evidence alone has therefore proved impossible because of the problems already outlined. However, we have some information on early settlement gleaned from the historical sources. According to local tradition and an indigenous chronicle written in the 17th century, the Tarikh al-Sudan, Timbuktu was founded c. AD 1100 as a seasonal pastoral Tuareg/Masufa camp (Es-Sadi 1900: 20-21). No data was found which can either confirm or deny this, but a variety of evidence was recorded which has suggested possible areas of early occupation which might prove informative once excavation commences later this year.
Two primary areas of archaeological material were recorded; the first in the northeast of the city around the Sankore mosque (locally called Casbah Marocaine), one of the 'islands of archaeology' of approximately 80 m length x 40 m width/[ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]). The second was west of the Djinguereber mosque, where an extensive area of mounds was found covered with a mixture of modern rubbish and earlier archaeological material (locally called 'Azalai') [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]. Dating of these two areas is at present far from certain, but a sherd of southern Chinese Celadon dated to the late 11th-early 12th centuries (Rosemary Scott pers. comm.; Insoll 1998), was found at Azalai (on a mound given the identifying code 'B') [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 3 OMITTED]. The mix of material scattered across the surface of the so-called Casbah Marocaine precludes any serious attempt at dating settlement in this area. Indication of 'medieval' occupation was suggested by a fragment of a glass bracelet which was collected from the surface of the site. …

I've been around hitRECord for about a year, and in that year I've noticed a growing trend on hitRECord. What happens is, Joe will ask the community to create something - the Fall Formal dialogue, for example, or an intro video to a show, or the Amoeba poster, or a video re: whatever subject was going to be discussed at an event. In all of these cases there were dozens of submissions, and several that really stood out in terms of both quality and popularity within the community. In every single one of these cases, instead of contacting the makers of one of those and asking them to simply make a few tweaks or edits, a third party called in by the moderators re-did the entire record, and no one knew until the final product was put out and they realized that it wasn't anything they'd seen before. And I've been distressed to hear that much of what will be shown at Sundance is not being made in the normal collaborative fashion, but rather by people being contacted behind-the-scenes to make the final contribution.
I've been one of the people with a popular submission in a few of these instances, and it sucks. It didn't suck because I wasn't chosen, because I was always very aware that was an unlikely option, but because I had done everything right - I had put in time and effort and recieved the support of the community or sometimes even a feature - and then it was deemed not good enough to actually be what was showcased. It makes you not want to bother or try next time. The issue isn't being rejected. The issue is that the opportunity you thought you were being offered was never...

Religion Goes on the Job in U.S. Faith Plays a Roll in Many Careers
Witham, Larry, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Bosses take note: A third of the men and half of the women under your employ know your religious background.
Do not be surprised, however, because seven in 10 employees talk about their own faith in the workplace, a new survey shows.
"Religion and work are important aspects of many people's lives," said David Rustad, spokesman for the Lutheran Brotherhood Report, which funds occasional surveys on U.S. religion.
"Since Americans spend so many hours at work, it's not surprising that conversations about religion crop up among co-workers," he said.
The practice is not so rampant, however, that employers should worry about low productivity or proselytizing in the office, according to the survey.
Only half of American workers talk religion with co-workers at least once a month. The other 19 percent who broach the subject at work do so only once a year.
Women are twice as likely as men to enter such conversations, and it is mostly women who take the trouble to find out what religion their boss may adhere to.
"People living in the South are the most likely to talk about religion at work compared with the other U.S. regions," the survey summary said.
In recent years, religion in the workplace had become a federal issue.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission attempted to issue guidelines that made offensive religious talk the grounds for workplace harassment charges. But the guidelines were withdrawn in 1993 after public protest and a unanimous Senate resolution against them.
A year ago, President Clinton issued guidelines that protected the religious speech of 2 million federal workers. …

"I think we can look at anything at this point," he said.
At the same press conference, Mayor Valerie Keehn said she vehemently opposed the selling of the building.
"I believe that this is the people's City Hall," she said.
Oesch said she would have mixed feelings about the sale.
"The building itself is wonderful, but the police need to be moved out of there," said Oesch.
Meanwhile, the Downtown Business Association will keep its ear to the ground as things progress.
"I don't think it's such a hot topic right now for us as some other things " the sale of Lillian's lot, for example," said Oesch. "This is still in its early stages, but we'll discuss it as things develop."

In this week's column, I can confidently say it feels as if spring is near. Water temperatures are beginning to rise with the air temperatures and the fishing seems to be improving. Most anglers had good luck fishing along the Gulf Stream this past weekend, March 14-15. They reported a decent wahoo bite way down south toward the Winyah Scarp and also way up north toward the Same Ole Hole. They seemed to be biting black/purple and red/black lures the best.
It looks as if the warm spring air is finally here to stay. Prickly pear trees are in full bloom and those with allergies are feeling the effects of the pollen. Dogwood trees are loaded with bulbs and most likely will burst into full bloom later this week. Every bird in the sky is singing songs and looking for love. These are all signals it is time to shake off the dust and get on the water. Are you ready? Do you have everything that you need?
Our winter has been long, cold and wet this year. The past few days have shown promise that warmer days are in our near future. The houses are booking up fast along the beach as folks are getting prepared for summer vacation. There is light at the end of this gloomy, wet tunnel. If you are a fisherman, now is the time to polish off the final touches on your boat and gear. As the warms days start to appear, the fishing will spring into action. Be ready, it's coming.
The winter weather has yet to vacate our area. Last Sunday, Feb. 8, we experienced a brief showing of spring weather with temperatures in the high 60s. Most anglers took this as an opportunity to wet a line and that spring was right around the corner.
Boy, were we wrong.
Thick jackets quickly replaced T-shirts and shorts when winter storm Octavia showed up. It seems as if the wind and the cold will never end.
February is a tough month to get past. It is typically a month where it wants to be sunny and 70 for a few days then plummet to below freezing for the rest of the week. Brunswick County got an opportunity to experience the indecisive weather this weekend with temperatures being in the high 60s Saturday, Feb. 7, and Sunday, Feb. 8. Whether it was catching brim from private pond or a slot redfish from a backwater creek, everyone seemed to find a way to wet a line.
There isn't much to be said in this week's fishing report. Once again Mother Nature has prevented most boats from sailing with how hard the wind has been blowing. It seems as if we cannot catch a break this winter. Normally, the colder months bring long periods of hard northeast winds and then a calm, stable period in between fronts. This year, the wind has refused to quit blowing. Hopefully, with late February and March's warmer temperatures the cold fronts will begin to spread out and give us more opportunities to fish.
The nights have continued to get colder, bringing the water temperatures below 50 degrees in many of our backwater areas. The rain also continues to fall, as each passing front brings us mild moist air. Even with water temperatures hovering in the upper 40s, speckled trout seek shelter in many of our shallow water areas during the coldest part of the winter. Why? There are several theories why speckled trout will continue to go into shallow water this time of year.

Following the Lead of Defamation: A Definitional Balancing Approach to Religious Torts
Wiesen, Daryl L., The Yale Law Journal
In the landmark 1964 case of New York Times v. Sullivan,(1) the United States Supreme Court confronted the tensions that existed between the traditional tort of defamation and the First Amendment to the Constitution. Acknowledging that allowing recovery for defamation raised free speech questions, the Court did not completely eliminate the tort, but rather limited both the definition of defamation that states could apply and the damages that plaintiffs could recover. In the end, recovery became more difficult, but not impossible.
Recently, courts again are confronting the tensions between the First Amendment and tort law. This time, however, the First Amendment questions arise from the Free Exercise Clause, and the tort action, less established than defamation, is intentional infliction of emotional distress.(2) In these "religious tort" cases, plaintiffs allege that religiously motivated conduct has resulted in a tortious injury to them.
Religious tort suits arise in a number of factual contexts. Some involve methods of religious recruitment;(3) others involve religiously motivated counseling.(4) One specific type concerns a religious group's practice of shunning ex-members.(5) Applying traditional, ad hoc free exercise analysis(6) to religious tort claims, however, has led to varying results in the face of similar fact patterns. In confronting religious tort cases, courts have held either that the Free Exercise Clause does not apply or, conversely, that it completely prevents recovery.
The unpredictability created by both the application of traditional, ad hoc free exercise analysis and the open-endedness of the intentional infliction of emotional distress tort may have a chilling effect on religious actions. Unable to predict the legal implications of their religiously motivated actions, risk averse religious actors may cease to engage not only in actionable conduct, but also in conduct that would be protected under the Free Exercise Clause.
To address the possible chilling effect in religious tort cases, I propose that the "definitional balancing"(7) approach established in defamation law should be extended to cases alleging "outrageous" religious conduct. This approach allows recovery in tort but balances First Amendment concerns within the definition of the tort itself by making recovery more difficult. Part I outlines the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress; the traditional, ad hoc balancing analysis used by courts in free exercise cases; and the constitutional questions raised by religious tort claims alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress. This part shows how the open-endedness of the intentional infliction of emotional distress tort, combined with the free exercise balancing analysis, produces ad hoc results in cases against religious defendants. Part 11 briefly summarizes defamation law as the Supreme Court has outlined it and details the elements of the definitional balancing approach adopted by the Court. Finally, Part III proposes that a definitional balancing approach similar to the one used in defamation law should be applied in religious tort cases alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress. This part reviews previous incomplete attempts to apply definitional balancing (either implicitly or explicitly) in religious tort cases. It then proposes a comprehensive solution, suggesting that the proper application of the intentional infliction of emotional distress tort to religiously motivated conduct will include a standard for recovery requiring proof of common law malice, a higher standard of proof, and limits on damages.
I. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress as a Religious Tort
Claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress against religious actors based upon religiously motivated conduct raise concerns involving free exercise of religion. First, courts' emphasis on the "outrageous conduct" element of the tort grants broad discretion to juries regarding liability and damages. …

text: I, and many TR players (if not all), have been hoping for an MCG that isn't gimped by bad stats and execution. We wanted something that was fun, reflected TR faction traits, and was effective on the battlefield. What we got was a weapon with loads of bloom, a terribly slow period of spin-up that lasted longer than other weapon's entire TTK (meaning you would be dead before you even hit full spin), and overall lackluster performance. This hasn't stopped TR players from using it and growing attached to it because, after all, it's a chaingun that fires fast (800 rpm isn't that fast for what it is, but I'll cover that later) and has a large ammo pool. It's iconic for the Terran Republic, a symbol. Now, with the changes on test server, SOE has released an attachment that takes up the rail slot. It increase ROF. This is good, right? Not really, let me explain. First of all, an attachment is only a band-aid to the problems that plague the MCG. It needs a total rework and this wont help it. The changes to ADS accuracy are strange. Sure, you have fixed COF while ADSing, but your ADS accuracy is so low that at 10m to 15m ranges you start missing a lot of your shots. This would be fine, but it halves your movement speed and with HA overshield you might as well be standing still, and you don't even get remarkable TTK for it, even though you have to struggle through a spin-up time. I could do leagues better with a CARV, or ever CARV-S (which has access to extended mags). Also, I just want to point out that crouching ADS accuracy is less accurate than standing ADS accuracy on test server right now. Just a bug, I'm sure. It would also be nice to see the numbers on what the ROF becomes with that new attachment. I also wish that if this new attachment is the way that SOE wants to go, then please don't make it take up the rail slot. Extended mags is already pretty much critical for the MCG, so adding this wont add anything new for vet MCG users. Anyways, my point is that these changes, for one, aren't what the weapon needs to be useful, and two, highly disappointing. I propose that the MCG receives a total revamp. Remove ADSing on the MCG. It doesn't make sense and RMB should spool the barrel of the weapon, like in most games with a chaingun in it. Apply a fixed COF to it. Make it sit between what is currently the ADS and hipfire accuracy on test server. Increase the ROF to something like 950 or even 1000 rpm. Decrease the damage to 112 or 100 damage per bullet. Due to how much faster the bullets go, increase the default magazine size to 150 rounds with 450 in the reserve. Extended mags would increase the magazine size to 300 with 300 in the reserve. These are my thoughts on what to do with the MCG. On a related note, if ADS is removed from the weapon, then it should be possible to change the MCG to an underslung weapon with a bit of effort and thinking. Just a thought. On the topic of my proposed MCG's balance, I feel like it should have a longer TTK than shotguns or weapons that are decidedly for CQC, such as the GD-7F, Serpent, GD-22, and so on, but have slightly higher TTK than other weapons because the fixed COF and removal of ADS means that it will NEED to dominate at close quarters, or it will be terrible at all ranges. Well, that's all I got to say. I think I covered all the bases I needed to. Go test the new MCG for yourself on test server, see what you think, and then come back and tell me what you think of it and my opinions on the matters. Cheers, all.

Well, it reminds me too of Hopper. The perspective, shadows and colors are similar to many of his paintings.
I'm curious who made it.. and yes. .I've bookmarked the sitting ducks web site (thank you Blansky)
I thought of the "Early Sunday Morning" painting.Quote:

With regard to Dome, do your job and call them and ask them yourself. Mining their own ore is more profitable than processing the Dome ore. I asked FC himself some time back about Dome and he stated that if they did that deal they would make $400 per ounce pretax. Nothing wrong with that but that IS IN FACT less profit per ounce than what they expect to get from BL. Why don't you do your job and ask these questions of IR yourself instead of insulting me by calling me a cheerleader when I am simply reporting what I believe to be the truth?
Jay Taylor: yes I DO know what he thinks since I met him in person at the 2012 PDAC and spoke to him about BGM specifically.
I don't know what dirt the bashers have dug up on Stewart Jackson but since you classify them as bashers YOURSELF, I will disregard their work as quickly as you disregard Stewart Jackson and PG. They are bashers as you say and so their motives disqualify them.
I don't need another geologist to defend PG. I have past history and I have SNOWDEN's current work coming soon. I will ACCEPT Snowden's work and it will be out soon enough that that will become the benchmark. In the past, PG wrote a report for Rubicon which was revised down by 25%. 25%. Not 75%. A 25% reduction puts the CM I&I resources at 9.2 million. That would be fantastic. There is no basis for using numbers like 3 million ounces of total resource.
Your comments about a pre-planned plot are inane and have no relationship to what I have been saying.
Is it promotion to simply state what you believe to be true? It is not. The high grade ore at 14g/t is again what the company is telling me. Go argue with them, don't put me and other bashers down. I didn't make use of the NR stating "encouraging results" but somehow you attributed it to me.
There ARE management problems at BGM and the legal battle and the delays are valid and serious concerns. But what you are not understanding is that we have a legion of bashers on this board pointing out the negatives all day long. Someone needs to point out the positives. You have chosen to spend more time pointing out the negatives. Strange behavior for someone who supposedly owns the stock. If you came on here and blasted management but said "well at least they did a great job with exploration and we'll probably have about 8 million ounces" then you and I would have no issue. But you don't do that. You blast management and then say we'll have a massive cut in the PG resource which is not supported by history. I'm just going to wish you good luck and sign off from Stockhouse until the Snowden report comes out. After it comes out, the bashers will not be able to hold this stock down.
Cheers and best wishes to all longs other than Rex Harbor and his crowd

Over the past couple of weeks, we've seen our federal party leaders shamelessly embrace populist politics.
Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper took part in a Hockey Night in Canada broadcast with new host George Stroumboulopoulos.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was featured in a Chatelaine magazine article titled 'Is Justin Trudeau the candidate Canadian women have been waiting for' and this week will unveil his new tell-all biography.
NDP leader Thomas Mulcair went on "The Social" — a lifestyle show on CTV — to talk about his party's childcare plan. The man some Conservatives 'affectionately' call "Angry Tom" even dove into a children's ball pit.

Good morning everyone, Jeffrey Richter here. Today I thought I'd share a section of my new book, CLR via C#, Third Edition, with you. It's from Chapter 26, "Compute-Bound Asynchronous Operations." The section discusses how to flow contextual information from one thread to another thread by using the CLR's Execution Context infrastructure. During the discussion, I go into the security and performance details of this feature as well.
Execution ContextsEvery thread has an execution context data structure associated with it. The executioncontext includes things such as security settings (compressed stack, Thread'sPrincipal property, and Windows identity), host settings (see System.Threading.HostExecutionContextManager), and logical call context data (see System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext's LogicalSetData and LogicalGetData methods).When a thread executes code, some operations are affected by the values of the thread'sexecution context settings. This is certainly true for the security settings. Ideally, whenever athread uses another (helper) thread to perform tasks, the issuing thread's execution contextshould flow (be copied) to the helper thread. This ensures that any operations performedby helper thread(s) are executing with the same security settings and host settings. It alsoensures that any data stored in the initiating thread's logical call context is available to thehelper thread.
By default, the CLR automatically causes the initiating thread's execution context to flow toany helper threads. This transfers context information to the helper thread, but it comes at aperformance cost because there is a lot of information in an execution context, and accumulatingall of this information and then copying it for the helper thread takes a fair amount oftime. If the helper thread then employs additional helper threads, then more execution contextdata structures have to be created and initialized as well.
In the System.Threading namespace, there is an ExecutionContext class that allows you tocontrol how a thread's execution context flows from one thread to another. Here is what theclass looks like:
public sealed class ExecutionContext : IDisposable, ISerializable { [SecurityCritical] public static AsyncFlowControl SuppressFlow(); public static void RestoreFlow(); public static Boolean IsFlowSuppressed();
// Less commonly used methods are not shown}
You can use this class to suppress the flowing of an execution context, thereby improvingyour application's performance. The performance gains can be quite substantial for aserver application. There is not much performance benefit for a client application, and theSuppressFlow method is marked with the [SecurityCritical] attribute, making it impossibleto call in some client applications (like Silverlight). Of course, you should suppress theflowing of execution context only if the helper thread does not need or access the contextinformation. If the initiating thread's execution context does not flow to a helper thread, thehelper thread will use whatever execution context it last associated with it. Therefore, thehelper thread really shouldn't execute any code that relies on the execution context state(such as a user's Windows identity).
Here is an example showing how suppressing the flow of execution context affects data in athread's logical call context when queueing a work item to the CLR's thread pool1:
public static void Main() { // Put some data into the Main thread's logical call context CallContext.LogicalSetData("Name", "Jeffrey");
// Initiate some work to be done by a thread pool thread // The thread pool thread can access the logical call context data ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem( state => Console.WriteLine("Name={0}", CallContext.LogicalGetData("Name")));
// Now, suppress the flowing of the Main thread's execution context ExecutionContext.SuppressFlow();
// Initiate some work to be done by a thread pool thread // The thread pool thread can NOT access the logical call context data ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem( state => Console.WriteLine("Name={0}", CallContext.LogicalGetData("Name")));
// Restore the flowing of the Main thread's execution context in case // it employs more thread pool threads in the future ExecutionContext.RestoreFlow(); ...}
When I compile and run the code above, I get the following output:
While this discussion has focused on suppressing the flow of execution context when callingThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem, this technique is also useful when using Task objects (discussedin the "Tasks" section of this chapter) and is also useful when initiating asynchronousI/O operations (discussed in Chapter 27, "I/O-Bound Asynchronous Operations").
Devon here. Jeffrey's book will be available via online retailers around February 15. The book's ISBN is 978-0735627048, and it contains 704 pages.

Art City Asks: Trent Miller
Trent Miller, moved to Madison following graduate studies at Boston University. The Indiana native is not a typical transplant, at least in terms of the way he makes art. His work is formed through dialogue with local arts.
When he moved here, Miller did not waste time looking at and researching art in area museums and galleries. At Sheboygan's gem, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, he discovered the art of Nebraska-born Emery Blagdon. He was inspired by his sculptural "healing machines," which Blagdon believed generated electromagnetic energy and could alleviate pain or even cure disease. »Read Full Blog Post

Life In The Field
Become skilled with a bow
Aiming with bows is not as effortless as the majority of people consider. The art and science of archery simply isn't simple to learn. A fantastic amount of time and procedure is required to grasp utilization of the bow. It involves an incredible amount of training. People can easily find out the way to manage a bow at every age group. It really is very important that you simply understand all about the different sorts of bows. By far the most important thing about handling bows would be to get a feel for it. You ought to be conscious of the reality there are numerous kinds of bows. Bows already went through a revolution currently. The firing of a firearm is different in the shooting of the pointer. A bow is usually quite hefty. Lately modern technology has made it doable to make quite light bows. There can certainly be bows with sights for aiming and some with out a sight for looking at a target.
The rifle vision just simply isn't the same as one on the bow. The length of the objective also matter a good deal more having a bow. You need to also realize that a bullet travels considerably more quickly than an pointer and this tends to make distinction. The bullet strikes the goal without the need of forming a straight loop. The rate of the wind may possess a huge effect around the flight of the arrow through the actual environment. Every single bow is made differently. You will need to know your bow nicely in an effort to shoot well. The strings around the bow should be taut but not quite firm. If the stress inside the bow strings is beneficial you'll have zip and power inside the pointer. It has a lot to complete with the stress in the bow strings. Prior to you get started you have to check the pressure in the bow strings. You need to attempt pulling back around the strings as much as you are able to. If you pull far back but drop balance, you'll under no circumstances hit the objective.
If you have a line of vision that is definitely not effectively aligned, you can certainly expect to never ever hit the target. You should never ever push the pointer too hard the moment releasing it. The perfect thing to perform is let the arrow go really slowly. Your own legs should certainly under no circumstances be spread too far wide. Your legs must be broad separated but not too diverse aside. One leg should be in the front of the other yet not too far out in the front. If you drag back the pointer very rapidly, you can shoot badly. It is not a superb thought to blast having a bow that may be too large for you. Selecting a bow with out prior thought merely isn't a good concept. Pace and accuracy and reliability are two crucial aspects of shooting having a bow. You will discover bows which will offer a higher air swiftness for the pointer. Everyone can easily discover how to shoot bows really well supplied they place in genuine effort. Experts can certainly hunt having a bow and get it done better than having a weapon.

Re: Do flaws make good characters great?
Flaws don't make a good character. The over coming of flaws make a person worth remembering. Its the notion of why Batman is better than Superman. If your perfect then doing great things is to be expected, because its easy for them. But if your mortal and suffering and still manage to do right and great things its speaks more about who you are. Kirk is a bit of a horn dog, but he manages to rise about his biological tendencies to be a great captain/man, a symbol for other starfleet officers to inspire too. He shows that character can overcome our human weakness.

I'm a city commuter and love my Jamis Coda Comp, but have a chance to upgrade to a Jamis Coda Elite. It's an '08 priced at two-thirds of the orig. MSRP. A little better components- main difference is the disc brakes on the Elite. Pros/Cons, anyone? Easy to replace or repair? Cost effective? Stop on a dime?
hmmm, I am happy now w/ Comp but, could I be happier?

Acoustic rock maestros Rodrigo y Gabriela are back with their new album: "9 Dead Alive". The album was recorded and produced by Rod & Gab at their studio in Ixtapa, Mexico. Mixing was handled by Andrew Scheps (Black Sabbath, Adele, Metallica, Lana Del Rey) in Los Angeles.'9 Dead Alive' sees Rodrigo y Gabriela playing face to face, guitar versus guitar, bursting with melodic energy and rhythmic invention. Recorded at their Pacific Coast hideaway in their late summer, the album captures the warmth and spontaneity of two great musicians riffing and jamming together; perfectly distilled into 9 new songs teeming with desire, elegance and gusto.Each of the songs on the album is a personal celebration of individuals who have passed on, but through their deeds and words still resonate in the 21st century. Going as far back as Eleanor of Acquitaine (1122 – 1204) to Viktor Frankl (1905 – 1997), and including a tribute to one of Rod & Gab's enduring touchstones – animals and nature. This diverse and fascinating list will strike a chord with anyone familiar with the duo's passion for human rights, literature, history and philosophy.Rodrigo y Gabriela's last album of all new music was 2009's "11:11". Since then they have collaborated on the soundtracks to both 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Shores' and 'Puss N' Boots' and visited Havana to record the 'Area 52' album with a Cuban orchestra. They have continued to tour the world, playing sell out shows last year at the Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, Colorado and the Sydney Opera House.

Bloom Celebrates West End Debut at York's, 12 Jul
Editorial Staff • West End • 25 May 2007
After two seasons with the National Youth Theatre, Bloom trained at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Since graduating however, he has worked exclusively on screen in such films as The Lord of the Rings trilogy (in which he played Legolas), Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, Elizabethtown and The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy (in which he plays Will Turner), the most recent of which, At World's End, has just been released.
Storey's drama, premiered at the Royal Court in 1969, centres on three brothers – Andrew, Colin and Steven – who return home to their Northern roots for a family reunion around their parents' wedding anniversary. Although they've returned to celebrate, the complexities of family life and long-held grievances make a decent party unlikely. The play was also made into a British film featuring Alan Bates, James Bolam and Brian Cox.
Bloom, who plays Steven, is joined in the fraternal trio by Paul Hilton (The Wild Duck, Mourning Becomes Electra, Three Sisters, On the Third Day as Andrew and Gareth Farr (How Many Miles to Basra, Harvest as Colin. Also in the cast are Lynda Baron (TV's Open All Hours, The Full Monty) and Ciaran McIntyre. Further casting is still to be announced.
In Celebration is directed by Anna Mackmin, whose recent credits include Dying for It and The Lightning Play at the Almeida. It's designed by Lez Brotherston, with lighting by Mark Henderson, music by Stephen Warbeck and sound by John Leonard. It's presented in the West End by Sonia Friedman Productions.
Currently at the Duke of York's, the Menier Chocolate Factory revival of sci-fi musical spoof Little Shop of Horrors will finish on 23 June before reopening on 27 June at the West End's Ambassadors Theatre (See News, 24 May 2007).

Formulated with a blend of exotic plant oils, the extra-nourishing formula is designed to restore shine and repair years' worth of damage. After a few uses, your strands will be softer and more manageable—which means you can spend less time fussing over your hair.
Ojon rare blendâ"¢ Deep Condition has an amazing smell and texture...so refreshing, thick and creamy. I couldn't wait to try this product. I have thick, medium length hair and usually use more conditioner than directed, with Ojon I didn't have to do that, however I didn't really notice any difference - other than the smell.3
I was excited when I received this product, because I have been wanting to try a new deep conditioner. Even though it's a bit different, I like the smell, too. Without thinking, I tried this on the day I use my clarifying shampoo, and it didn't seem to work. It wasn't until the next day when I realized what I'd done, so I think I'll try it with my regular shampoo, and see how it works. The clarifying shampoo I use REALLY strips my hair of its natural oils, so I think I'll be getting a new one of those as well.3

Corsair Flash Voyager 32GB review -
1 - A flashy introduction
Corsair Flash Voyager
Product: 32 GB flash memory USB stick
Info: corsair.com
Price: $164
Flash memory guys and girls .. it's the next big thing ever since the first high volume HDD was introduced into the market. I've been active in the hardware scene for over ten years now and I have not ever seen a development rate going so fast as Flash memory. The amount of choice in media, sizes, speed and then obviously development of Solid State drives it's just all going really fast. I mean, two years ago when I was traveling I had a very handy 256MB stick along with me to carry PDF presentations. And two years ago that was considered to be a pretty big flash USB stick.
Last year in March I picked up a 1 GB stick, paid 50 EUR for it, the same amount of money you now pay for a 4 GB stick. And today ... we'll test the Corsair Flash Voyager with a capacity of an astonishing 32 Gigabyte !
A flash USB stick with:
- Plug & Play functionality in Windows Vista, XP, 2000, ME, Linux 2.4 and later, Mac OS 9, X and later
- Durable and Price/performance leader 32GB USB drive
- Includes the True Crypt security application (Windows Vista/XP/2000 compatible only) allowing for a virtual encrypted drive using AES-256 encryption
- Water Resistant, Shockproof & Plug-n-Play
These are the sticks that Bruce Willis could carry around while making Die Hard 4.0, they've been laundered, baked, frozen, boiled, dropped, and even run over by a SUV in many third party reviews. After all the punishment it receives, these sturdy little freaks continue to work.
Now available in a 32GB capacity the flash-disk became a massively worthy investment. It's a small HDD in your pocket. With that file size you could even partition it, split into two partitions, and make one encrypted as the product supports EAS-256 bit encryption technology.
Great stuff to store movies, MP3, work related files, classified stuff (encrypted) or even you could use it as a backup drive. Very robust, water tight and easy to use.
But enough of this introduction, let's review it and see how well it fares, yet most of all .. with such size, how fast it is.

Murray eases past qualifierComment on this story
Melbourne – British fourth seed Andy Murray finished strongly to beat French qualifier Vincent Millot in straight sets and reach the third round at the Australian Open on Thursday.
Murray, a three-time beaten finalist in Melbourne, downed Millot 6-2, 6-2, 7-5 in just over two hours.
Murray was down two breaks in the final set against the 267th-ranked Millot, but reeled off the last 23 consecutive points to get a double break and serve out for the match.
The Scot ran through the first two sets but encountered stiffer resistance from the French left-hander, who won his first Grand Slam match in the opening round against American Wayne Odesnik.
"I've been in the final here three times and this is the tournament I love and I want to try and win," he said after advancing.
"I don't know if this will be the year, but I'll try my best."
Murray said Millot had played "unbelievable" early in the final set.
"It was unbelievable the way he played and he was stepping up to the baseline on every shot and hitting winners. So I had to adjust the way I was playing a little bit.
"He's ranked around 270 in the world, so it shows the great depth in men's tennis right now."
Murray broke Millot's serve eight times and lost his service three times, while hitting 25 winners and 31 unforced errors. He will play Spanish 26th seed Feliciano Lopez in the third round. – AFP

Pakistan and the Presidential Candidates
Center-right pundits love "the holiday from history is over" narratives, so I'm not surprised to see that becoming the conventional wisdom in the wake of Bhutto's murder. Polling data will soon enough confirm or refute the idea that the events in Pakistan will sway our own presidential politics. I suspect it will influence the Republican primary electorate, which is concerned about radical Islam, far more than the Democratic electorate, which seems more interested in a break from the Bush foreign policy than what that break might entail.
As noted earlier, these events have already pitted John McCain, who has foreign policy experience but has never run any large organization, against Mitt Romney, a skilled executive with no foreign policy experience. But maybe the beneficiary will be Rudy Giuliani, who can claim a bit of both. I happen to think that the claims on behalf of his executive prowess are far stronger than those made on behalf of his foreign policy know-how, but for most of the past year a plurality of Republicans has regarded Giuliani as the candidate who best understands the war on terror.
Personally, I'm with Ross Douthat -- the crisis in Pakistan ought to make us more skeptical of people who claim they can manage the complex affairs of foreign nations to our benefit rather than less skeptical. Considering the amount of knowledge required, even the most skilled and experienced 2008 candidates may as well be reading from 3 X 5 cards. But if Pakistan figures prominently in the minds of Republican primary voters, it probably will push them towards the candidates they view as the strongest leaders.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Patrick Marleau scored the tiebreaking goal with 1:53 remaining for his third straight two-goal game, helping the San Jose Sharks rally from a two-goal deficit to beat the Phoenix Coyotes 5-3 in their home opener Thursday night. Logan Couture and Marty Havlat also scored and Joe Thornton had three assists and an empty-net goal for the Sharks, who have opened the season with three straight wins for the first time since 2008-09. Antti Niemi made 32 saves. Steve Sullivan, Antoine Vermette and Lauri Korpikoski scored for the Coyotes, who were unable to hold onto a 3-1 lead in the third period on the back end of a back-to-back. Marleau started San Jose's comeback with a goal midway through the third and then beat Jason LaBarbera for the game-winner. Thornton started the play with a sharp up-ice pass to Joe Pavelski, who fed Marleau for the wrist shot. The Coyotes seemed to take control with two goals in a span of 2:27 of the third to take a 3-1 lead. The outb...

Time to deal with disaster from the front
A once-in-a-generation opportunity to shift the focus of disaster management policy in Australia must be seized, says adjunct professor at Griffith University's School of Government and International Relations, Jim McGowan AM.
In a Griffith University submission to the Productivity Commission's public inquiry into Natural Disaster Funding Arrangements, Professor McGowan has called for a move away from the narrow focus of recovery that traditionally follows in the wake of natural disasters.
"Resilience needs to be the policy objective. The money going to response and recovery needs to be redirected up front," said Jim McGowan who welcomed the opportunity to contribute to the inquiry.
Professor McGowan (left) will participate in a forum initiated by the Productivity Commission in Brisbane on Monday next (June 30) to advance the case for the redirection of some resources used in response to and recovery from natural disasters towards prevention and mitigation activities.
A Griffith University research team, led by Professor McGowan, has investigated post-disaster experiences in four Australian towns, Marysville, Emerald, Carisbrook and Cardwell, where the challenges of recovering from and adapting to the impact of disasters were described firsthand. Their findings were outlined last year in a report published by the Regional Australia Institute.
"A shift away from response and recovery to prevention and mitigation is crucial. This has been recognised by the United Nations as part of its Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy and in many countries including the United States. Australia needs to follow this lead," he said.
"It is also about getting small business in local communities up and running again. The current concentration on providing hardship grants for individuals affected by natural disasters should go into renewing business activity.
"Without policy change, the economic costs of natural disasters will continue to rise, creating significant demands on the budgets of all tiers of government, with potential long-term impacts on productivity and economic performance."
Funding imbalance
As the economic cost of natural disasters in Australia continues to rise steeply, the lack of balance in the funding model is also exacerbated. According to research from Deloitte Access Economics for the Australian Business Roundtable for Disaster Resilience and Safer Communities in 2013, the total cost of natural disasters in 2012 is estimated to have exceeded $6 billion. This figure is expected to double by 2030 and to rise to an average of $23 billion per year by 2050.
The Deloitte research noted that: 'Each year an estimated $560 million is spent on post-disaster relief and recovery by the Australian Government compared with an estimated consistent annual expenditure of $50 million on pre-disaster resilience: a ratio of more than $10 post-disaster for every $1 spent pre-disaster.'
"This is without any consideration of the potential impact of climate change," Professor McGowan says.
The rapidly increasing nature of the costs is demonstrated by the allocation of NDDRA funds in Queensland during the past decade. Including contributions from the Queensland government, these costs rose from $40 million in 2002 to almost $7 billion in 2011, with a total of $14 billion in the three-year period, 2009-2011, according to the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.
"We all have a stake in this and it is not just about government. People need to have the right insurance policies to protect their homes and businesses; local councils need to ensure their planning regimes do not endanger residents," Professor McGowan says.
"We need to rethink this collectively. The implementation of a new framework will be difficult and challenging because of the politics involved but it is worth persevering with. The current arrangements are unsustainable in a future where climate change is likely to result in more frequent and more significant natural disaster events."
The focus of disaster management policy in Australia needs to shift from relief to resilience, says Professor Jim McGowan.
