Greetings, This is my first post here. As more of a video guy I'm a tad lost here. Long story short I am looking for some help with hooking up two archaic Bose sub woofers, with a recently purchased 7.2 Sony STR-DH740 receiver. I know, bose's are over priced etc. My parents bought this back in the early 90's and I'm looking to just get their system up and working (my personal system is much better). The back of both Subs looks like this: http://worldwide.bos.../owg_en_am7.pdf Now, do I really need to run it like it says to get the sub (and the speakers) to work? I figure the speakers I can just run from the receiver, and could use these to hook up the sub http://www.amazon.co...to speaker wire Any advice would be amazing

Do not connect the cube speakers directly to your receiver. Although Bose does not publish specs on their speakers, they are most definitely low impedance speakers and hooking them direct to the receiver may cause the receiver to switch to protect mode. The best and safest way to implement the bass module (it's NOT a subwoofer) and the cubes is to follow their instructions and connect the L/C/R outputs from the receiver to the bass module inputs and run the bass module outputs to the cubes. Within the Sony receiver's speaker setup menu, you will want to make sure you tell it there are no surround speakers, and no connected subwoofer (i.e. turn these speakers "off"). Set the front speakers to "Large" or "Full Range" (whatever Sony's nomenclature is). This will send the full range signal to the bass module so that it can pull out whatever it can for low-frequency effects (this is as close to a subwoofer as you can get with the bass module). The Bose system is set up and designed in such a way that the bass module is an integral part to the system. The tiny satellite speakers have a limited frequency range, so the bass module uses special eq/modulation/processing on the incoming signal to try and finesse the most that it can from the cubes (with the bass module picking up some of the slack). Take the bass module out of the equation and the results will be pretty bad. Best of luck.

Awesome! Thanks for the input. While I have you then. With that setup then will I be getting a true 5.2 sound or just some approximation of it?

No. You need to have 5 speakers to get the "5" in 5.2. This guide from Dolby outlines the general placement of speakers for 5.1 and 7.1 setups. Note that contrary to popular belief, the "surround" speakers in a 5.1 setup are usually placed to the sides of the listener, not behind. That location is reserved for the extra "back surround" speakers found in 7.1 setups.
With that Bose setup, you're running essentially a 3.0 (or loose 3.1) left/center/right. The ".1" refers to the presence of a dedicated Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel - the subwoofer. Again, since the Bose bass module doesn't quite get as low as a true subwoofer, I don't really count it as a full ".1".
You can always add extra speakers (and a real subwoofer) to the system - except you'd connect them directly to the Sony receiver, not the Bose module. If you do this, then you will need to revisit the speaker setup to tell the receiver that you've added the extra speakers.
Finally, technically speaking, there's no such thing as ".2". The numbers are supposed to be an indication of the number of discrete audio channels in the system and ALL modern digital surround sound formats have a single, mono, LFE channel (hence the ".1"). All ".2" receivers (except for maybe a couple of very high end models) simply split the mono LFE channel to two outputs instead of one. Any $1.99 RCA splitter can accomplish the same thing for any other receiver with a single subwoofer output. The ".2" nomenclature is due to successful marketing...

Thank you for all the help. As i should have been more indepth myself. I do have a second bass model for the back set up. And with that 5 cube speakers as well. Like these: So again my question is with the set up on the receiver you suggested, will I be getting true 5 different channels of audio? Thank you as well for the input on the '.2' stuff.

Ah, yes, then with the second module and the other speakers, you will be able to hear digital 5.1 audio.

An Innovative Approach to Promote Water Use Efficiency
UC Riverside study shows "block-rate water budgets" encourage households to conserve water
By on February 19, 2014
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Increasing block-rate water budgets are an innovative type of escalating tiered price structure in which the consumption block sizes are based on household characteristics, environmental conditions, and a judgment by the water utility with regard to what constitutes "efficient" water use given those characteristics and conditions.
In these water budgets, prices are set relatively low for the most essential uses of water but then increase with usage. The price structure more accurately reflects the cost of supplying water and thus sends a more appropriate price signal to customers regarding water scarcity. It also helps water utilities to maintain fiscal balance despite uncertain fluctuations in supply and demand conditions.
But do block-rate water budgets encourage customers to conserve water?
Yes, according to Kenneth Baerenklau, an associate professor of environmental economics policy at the University of California, Riverside.
"Increasing block-rate water budgets appear to be a highly effective price-based conservation tool that does not require significantly increasing the average price paid for water," he said.
Observed vs. predicted household water demand, 12-month moving average. Image credit: Baerenklau Lab, UC Riverside.
In his study, the first to estimate the conservation potential of water budget rate structures, Baerenklau used data from the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) as they switched from flat rate pricing to increasing block-rate water budgets in 2009 in order to learn how much this rate structure change had reduced demand.
Baerenklau and colleagues then examined the monthly water use records of more than 13,000 single family households in EMWD's service area from 2003 to 2008 when EMWD was using flat rate pricing. They related each household's monthly water use to the price paid for water, household income, local evapotranspiration requirements, and other factors believed to significantly affect water demand. Then, they predicted what the demand for water would have been from 2009 to 2012 had EMWD retained its flat rate price structure rather than switching to water budget rates.
"We estimated that by late 2012, average household water use was around 15 percent below where it would have been under a flat rate price structure with equivalent average prices," Baerenklau said. "Furthermore, while the average price paid for water rose only 4 percent under water budgets, flat rate prices would have had to increase by around 30 percent to achieve the same 15 percent demand reduction. This indicates that block-rate pricing can achieve the goal of encouraging water efficiency while keeping overall prices low and addressing equity concerns."
Results from the study have been accepted for publication in the journal Land Economics.
Water budgets have been used since the early 1990s, but not by many water utilities. As of 2008, fewer than 14 California water utilities had implemented water budget rate structures. But between 2008 and 2011, at least nine more California utilities implemented them. This renewed interest is driven, in part, by California's "20×2020 Water Conservation Plan," which requires each water utility to reduce its per-capita water consumption by 20 percent by 2020. Other utilities are considering implementing water budget rates, but there remain concerns about the costs and benefits of doing so.
"Our research helps to clarify one of the main benefits — water conservation — at a time when the state is coping with an extreme drought and expecting a drier and more variable climate in the future," Baerenklau said.
EMWD of Southern California provided funding for the study.
Baerenklau was joined in the study by Kurt Schwabe and Ariel Dinar, his fellow faculty members in UC Riverside's Water Science and Policy Center. They worked closely with staff at EMWD. The team of researchers continues to work on related urban water management issues, including the effectiveness of both price and non-price instruments on residential water conservation.
"We are working with alternative models for the EMWD data to further examine the water budget rate effect in that district, and we are planning to conduct a similar study with Western Municipal Water District that should improve our understanding of how water demand responds to household income shocks," Baerenklau said. "We also are developing a method for estimating the welfare effects of changes in block rate prices, with funding from the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics."

Beyond Animal Rights – Jo-Anne McArthur's We Animals
When you think of the visuals you've seen from conventional farms or slaughterhouses, there's a good chance an animal rights organization like PETA is behind them. Usually they're grainy. With laws like the so-called Ag-Gag bills passed in 10 states as well as 2006's Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, it's easy to presume any footage was taken without the owner's permission. The graphics you've seen were probably meant to shock you.
Photographer Jo-Anne McArthur is trying to change all that.

Bioeconomic model of decision support system for farm management. Part I: Systemic conceptual modeling
Information systems used in farming systems are characterized by high complexity. They should be composed of inter-related economic and biological components capable of working in a dynamic and continuous manner, receiving data and producing results within an organized production process. Taking this complexity into account, in this study we propose a novel conceptual macromodel with a system approach of the agricultural and livestock production environment to be adopted as information system in order to support the decision making process. This model is capable of representing the innumerable aspects of a farm production system aiming to help farm producers understand and manage their production system. To better understand the general model and its nuances, several submodels (input models) were built based on adaptation of pre-existing research, among which we mention: meteorological, pasture, animal, crop–livestock integration, crop, soil, pasture-animal, and pasture-soil submodels. The combination of these submodels originates and configures the farm production system structure. Among the main outputs of the proposed model are the economic results, based on agricultural and livestock productivity, the environmental impact assessment, and the analysis of operational risk. A qualitative approach was used with an exploratory descriptive design to carry out this research, based on literature review, interviews, and meetings with experts to refine and validate the proposed model. The refinement of the conceptual model was based on the Delphi method, which allowed the collection of data and peculiarities of the object under study, guided its development to achieve the goals of this research, and allowed the register of several issues for further studies. The validation of the model, also using a qualitative approach, was performed employing conceptual, face, and subsystem validation procedures, also applying the Delphi method. This way, we aimed to identify the weak and strong points of our conceptual model, its main shortcomings and limitations, and the variables that should be optimized, in theoretical and practical perspectives, so that this model can be improved.

I have seen what you are experiencing. It might be software. Has the dealer committed to reprogramming the car to deal with the idle, or are they playing stupid?

They are playing stupid. Any idea on what I can do to get them to reprogram the car? Thanks.
Threaten them, or have a temper tantrum. The dealerships always seem to have their own agenda, and it often includes a lack of customer service.
Will do, I'll write back and let you know how it turns out. Thanks!
Just talked to my husband and it turns out they have reset the engine recently to correct the problem. Should be have them do it again or check for something else? Thanks.
I am unsure of my response here, are you having some issue with the idle quality, or is this a perception? I am sure that I do not comprehend the scope of this problem and I really do want to help. Is the car having a driveability issue or is it just your perception?
When you stop at a light the car acts as if it is going to cut off, like a flutter. The RPM needle moves up and down. It doesn't do this all the time.
BMW has had the Valvetronic engine in production for 8+ years and as a technician, I have seen my share of complaints about idle quality. As far as what is next, the may be some ground to cover with an ombudsman or another outside party, like what the BMW CCA has, are you a car club member?
I am a club member.
As a club member there are club services that I recommend you look into, the Roundel has a club services page that has the regional ombudsman information, have you considered them?

virulent racism, prisons have also been notable for their violence toward gay inmates. 72
It is one thing to enact hate crime laws and another thing to implement and enforce them. Because bias crimes are relatively rare, they are difficult to deter through patrol. And low-level bias crimes like vandalism and graffiti are notoriously difficult to solve. With respect to the most serious crimes of violence, it is unlikely that a bias crime label win lead to any more investigative effort than would be made absent the label. In the investigation of serious violent felonies, like bias-related murder, the existence of a bias unit would not seem to add any significant resources to the investigation. Bias-related or not, the police department gives such crimes top priority by experienced homicide detectives and other specialized forensic units. The bias unit could make the most difference in police response to low-level offenses, like harassment, vandalism, and graffiti. But it is not clear whether society really wants to divert significant investigative resources to these offenses or to punish them as serious crimes. In the final analysis, the labeling decision may be the most important function the police perform in enforcing the bias crime laws.
Some large city police departments have formed specialized bias crime units. These units clearly have symbolic importance for some advocacy groups and, at a minimum, play a public relations role that may be quite important in the politicized crime and justice environment. However, research has yet to determine whether such bias units make a difference in preventing or solving bias crimes.
Prosecutors face a difficult task in trying hate crime cases. Proving bias-motivation poses a serious challenge, one that may distract and politicize the jury. Some jurors and judges may be so offended by and hostile to the hate crime charge that they will refuse to convict at all. If so, hate crime trials may reinforce and exacerbate the social divisions that already threaten the functioning of the jury system.
Some hate crime trials raise questions about the admissibility of evidence concerning the defendant's values, beliefs, and character. There is no escaping the danger that the trial will seem, to some observers, like an inquisition into the correctness of the defendant's statements, friendships, organizational affiliations, humor, and so forth.
Where hate crime laws come into play, not as substantive offenses, but as sentencing enhancements, the jury problems are sometimes avoided because the judge makes key findings on motivation, but the

|Structural insights into cofactor recognition of yeast mitochondria 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase OAR1.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23300157 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|3-Oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) reductase (OAR1 or FabG, EC.126.96.36.199) is responsible for the first reductive step in fatty acid biosynthesis using Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) as a cofactor. Recent studies suggest there is a fatty acid synthetase II pathway that consists of a series of separate enzymes in yeast mitochondrion. Here, we present the crystal structure of the yeast mitochondria OAR1 (ymtOAR1) alone in apo-form at 2.60 Å and complexed with NADPH at 2.10 Å resolution. Unlike the reported tetrameric OARs, ymtOAR1 forms a homodimer due to the different fold. The enzyme generates conformational changes upon NADPH binding to the active site. Moreover, two different cofactor-binding patterns are observed from two forms of complex crystals, and structural analysis implies the adenine end of cofactor may recognize enzyme prior to nicotinaminde end. Additionally, biochemical studies suggest Arg14 is important for cofactor recognition of ymtOAR1. © 2013 IUBMB Life, 2013.

Create a Chemical Reaction
Throwing together atoms of various elements can create incredible materials. At the Create a Chemical Reaction table, you can take a drag-and-drop approach to the elements, mixing and matching them in a virtual chemical lab. Use pucks to choose elements from a projected periodic table, and pull them into a reaction lab to see what happens. You can bring in more atoms of the same element, throw new ones into the mix or just start over. The table can also suggest combinations you might want to try. It's a fun way to learn how a single atom or molecule can be the difference between fire and fizzle.

I was for my economic plan, before I was against my economic plan. But I am absolutely against all my positions that I had yesterday, and I have been clear on this.
Will the American people ever realize that "flatter taxes" means those of us who are not rich will pay more?
Romney isn't the perfect candidate, for sure. But when you look at the other clowns running against him (Gingrich and Santorum), Romney shines as the only serious candidate. Ron Paul has some very good ideas but he is simply unelectable. Romney is the only serious candidate in the race at this point. He is focused like a laser on the economy, while Santorum is focused on birth control and the great Satan....and Gingrich is focused on lunar colonies. For whatever flaws Romney may have, he is a proven leader with an incredible understanding of economic issues. The petty personal attacks will not stick. Romney has a beautiful family, he has been faithful to his wife for 40+ years of marriage, and he has turned around failing companies, an Olympics, and a state. Most importantly, Romney can beat Obama in November!
You cannot make the statement that any man has been faithful to his wife for "40+" years, especially a good-looking, rich, republican.
Romney should feel right at home - the country is already overleveraged so step 1 is done, now he just has to figure out how to extract the cash - maybe he can sell Louisiana to China (I bet theyd fix the levies fast);
Mexico fat with drug profits might be interested in revisitng Guadelupe Hidalgo;
Russia full of oil cash from the Iranian embargo may consider repurchasing Alaska;
if we run of cash from these, we can always get some extra cash by using our excellent military to fight the highest bidder's wars - we can even fight on both sides - maximizing cash intake;
finally, our eminent newspapers/media outlets such as the NYTimes already have their best men working on how we can pay for even more extravagance - a trick usually involving printing more money - something its shaggy semi-insane looking editorial stalwart, Noble prize winner and former Enron advisor is busy promoting almost every day.
As it is usual and common place in the case of Romney, we are not very impressed.
run by mad men (even sleeker than the ones on tv) Ron Paul is, of course, unelectable;
He still does not know what has to be done about the economy?
More supply side trickle down krapola will not do.
OK, we will wait for your wisdom Mr. Mitt
Remember the only candidate worth voting for is........
Drum roll.......
Well said Conservative but actually I think Romney is as close to perfect a candidate that I have seen in twenty years.
Tony C., from what I surmised from Romney's book, I think he would like to see some balancing...upwards for 45% of hh pay zero income taxes. I think his belief is that in order to curb run-away spending, more people should feel and pay some amount of income tax, even if only a small amount. One reason I favor Romney is that I have not seen him advocate radical tax cuts on higher earners — a philosophically essential position necessary to address entitlements — unlike his opponents.
Romney simply chants the two elements of GOP orthodoxy: "lower tax rates and reduce regulations." I wrote "orthodoxy," but I might as well have written "mythology," because those two elements are supposed to be magic levers, capable of solving all economic problems. Does anyone dare question whether they are magic?
The third leg of the stool will be cutting the budget, in order to reduce the national debt. GOP mythology also claims that these actions will produce "confidence," another magic lever capable of ending recessions. No GOP candidate dares question how much magical power confidence has. Will it be sufficient to counteract the additional drag on the economy produced by firing Federal workers and cutting expenditures.
Questioning a man's integrity to his marriage reveals more of the character of the person asking the question than the person it is addressed to.
More, more, more of the same Republican trickle-down, increased military spending economic orthodoxy.
that's not fair - Romney has been faithful to all his wives
I try to get some on the side whenever I can, and I'm not a rich republican congressman. The only question isn't whether Romney ever cheated, but on which side of the fence has he played the field.
But they'll never say what.
"Romney Hints at More Details of Economic Plan" I thought his economic plan was : "I made millions at Bain Capital so trust me, I'll figure something out."
After 5 years of running for president, Mitt is "going to get more specific." I can't wait.
He has said he won't balance the budget on the backs of the military or seniors. With tax increases being out of the question, where will he cut?
Pray tell, where has Romney and his economic wisdom been up to this point? Why has he denied us 'the solution?' Could it be that his likely 'solutions' - more Free Trade (he'll talk tough on China, but Romney and Bain were leaders in off-shoring American jobs), less regulation and taxes, simply represents a 'doubling down' on the bone-headed, data-free ideology that got us into this mess?
Romney is not going to cut anything, but neither is any other president. Stop falling for that line. The US prints money so no worries. We don't need to raise taxes either. Just print more money. A very evil man once said "Deficits don't matter". For once, he was right.
Breaking news: Mittens to propose more tax cuts for himself!
Romney does not have access to IRS data to model the US economy. He told WSJ several months ago (they have a bunch of uninformed writers) that his economic plans would be data driven. I suspect he will use the 23-16-8 model that the commission produced, although that group lacked the expertise that Romney has acquired ( see the 2002 Winter Games for Romney in action--a great economic executive). They did, however, have government access to data.
Santorum needs to quit with the religion stuff and get to jobs and federal debt. He talks a lot but never on his background. He may just have a lot to hide. I need to get more information on what he did in all that time in Washington before I vote for him. Scares me whenever a person wraps himself in religion, sounds a lot like Elmer Gantry . He also thinks he knows more about a woman's life than women do.
It's just what is needed. Reveal both the painless AND the painful aspects!
If I were him, I would lay my economic plan out long long time ago, and I would have promised to do it if elected on day one.
That way, my countryman will learn that I am a real business man and I know what country need badly at this time.
We cannot allow the cowards of the yesterday; to become the leaders of tomorrow! Please insist upon our future political leaders that they owe up to us for their lack of accountability regarding service to our country. I would like to know what Mitt Romney was up to during the Vietnam War era and how he avoided service. He is 64 years of age and he would have been 18 years of age in 1966; this would put him is the age group of beign drafted in the 60's.
According to the Veteran's Administration, 9.2 million men served in the military between 1964 and 1975. Nearly 3.5 million men served in the Vietnam theater of operations. From a pool of approximately 27 million, the draft raised 2,215,000 men for military service during the Vietnam era. It has also been credited with "encouraging" many of the 8.7 million "volunteers" to join rather than risk being drafted. Draft offenders numbered nearly 500,000 but less than 10,000 were convicted or imprisoned for draft violations. As many as 100,000 draft eligible males fled the country.
Maybe his economic plan should begin by releasing his past 10 or 12 years of his tax returns like his old man did so we can see how badly he has cheated the country. What do you have to hide Mittens? A lot I suspect.
lets print more money;
come to think about it, instead of having students go to school/college we could just award them degrees;
and other great ideas
Any group with a powerful lobby will remain untouched, even strengthened, whether Defense, seniors, Oil, Wall Street, etc. The burden will fall entirely on the working-class, as it has for the last 30 years of Republican economic orthodoxy.
Romney could stand and say our flag is red, white and blue ........and many of you would blast him and call him wrong. This audience responds like the readers at the Huffington Post rather than the WSJ. Damn Romney for being successful. Damn him for not pandering to the extreme elements of the party such as Santorum does.
Romney is the only GOP candidate that can get commarade Obama out. It would be suicidal for the GOP to nominate a religious extremist like Santorum. The priority shoul be taking socialism out of the white house.
The Obama team thinks government has the right to tell a company to give its product for free and we are talking about definition of marriage!
Mitt Romney stepped on his message a bit Tuesday, and on attempts to draw attention to a forthcoming tax reform plan, by saying that spending cuts can damage the economy.
"If you just cut -- if all you're thinking about is just cutting spending -- why as you cut spending you'll slow down the economy, so you have to at the same time create pro-growth tax policies," Romney said during a town hall meeting in Michigan.
His comment drew attention from several news outlets and liberal blogs. MSNBC's "First Read" pointed out that Romney's remark represented "a rhetorical departure from the rest of the Republican Party, which has done battle with the Obama administration over the past year about the best course for economic growth."
"First Read" also quoted Andy Roth, vice president of the conservative Club for Growth, calling Romney's comment "hogwash."
"It confirms yet again that Romney is not a limited-government conservative," Roth said. "The idea that balancing the budget would not help the economy is crazy. If we balanced the budget tomorrow on spending cuts alone, it would be fantastic for the economy."
His plan is more green energy research money for his cronies. His plans is to build more railroads to nowhere for his union buddies. His plan is to redistribute money to welfare queens and illegals to buy votes.
And President Obama could cure cancer and republicans would find fault in it.
Romney is an electoral disaster waiting to happen.

Let me start by saying that this is not an endorsement piece for President Barack Obama to win a second term in office, as I am not the person to try swaying people to vote one way or another (we have enough commercials and robocalls for that).
One thing we know about President Obama is his love for sports. We have seen him at Chicago White Sox games and we have seen the segment on ESPN every year during March Madness where the President fills out his bracket for the tournament. Love of sports is nothing new for the person who sits in the chair in the oval office, as George W. Bush had a love for baseball and Bill Clinton was an avid fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
In fact it is one of the things I like the most about any person who holds the office of the President of the United States – their ability to be a normal human being and American while having the responsibilities of the office. While people were complaining about President Obama doing a bracket because he should have more important things to do, I applauded him for it.
That's why when the President was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last Wednesday and was asked about the NHL lockout, I was curious to hear his answer. Leno took questions from Facebook and audience member to ask President Obama and one of the questions asked if the President could pull some strings and end the current NHL lockout, the third major work stoppage in professional sports in the last 18 months.
While not wanting to get involved directly in the negotiations, the President did offer that he had a thought on the subject:
"Every time these things happen, I just want to remind the owners and the players you guys make money because you've got a whole bunch of fans out there who are working really hard. They buy tickets, they're watching on tv. You all should be able to figure this out. Get this done."
It is very similar to the stance that President Obama took when asked what he would do to end the NFL lockout prior to last season:
"We've got owners, most of whom are worth close to $1 billion; you've got players who are making millions of dollars. My working assumption at a time when people are having to cut back, compromise, and worry about making the mortgage and, you know, paying for their kids' college education, is that the two parties should be able to work it out without the president of the United States intervening. I'm a big football fan, but I also think that for an industry that's making $9 billion a year in revenue, they can figure out how to divide it up in a sensible way. And be true to their fans, who are the ones who, obviously, allow for all the money that they're making."
It amazes me that the President of the United States can see this simple thing – that the fans are the ones who are really losing when these leagues have work stoppages – but the owners and players in the sports seem to forget that fact.
It doesn't matter who is at fault. It didn't matter with the NBA, it didn't matter with the NFL and it didn't matter with the NFL officials. And now it doesn't matter with the NHL. All that matters to fans is that there are games to go to, games to watch and games to talk about.
The NHL has now canceled all games through the end of November as the latest lockout continues to drag on with no end in the foreseeable future. This comes after a postseason that might have been one of the best in years and had fans all fired up for the upcoming season.
But just like their brethren in the NFL and NBA, the NHL has ignored the most important thing in their league – the fans. They think the fans will just come back no matter what once the lockout is solved, like fans in the NFL and NBA seemed to do and because the league had record attendance following the work stoppage in 2005.
But the league needs to realize that having four work stoppages in 20 years is not a way to keep their fans or to get new fans interested in the game. There are plenty of other options for sports fans while the NHL players and owners bicker back and forth and don't make any progress. While the NHL isn't playing, fans can watch the NFL, NBA, college football and college basketball, with games on every night in one of the four sports.
It's time for the owners and players to sit down and hammer out an agreement so that they can get back to the ice as soon as possible. As President Barack Obama said – "You all should be able to figure this out. Get this done."

Reviewer: TheFishKeeper
I've been using the crisps for over a year now. Much better than flakes, less waste because the pieces stay together. The many cichlids I have love them. The crisps have multi Nutritionional value per piece. Does not cloud water like flakes can. The price of under $10 for 8.82 oz is excellent !!!

What the GOP has to do to enforce change
Having won control of the House of Representatives, Republicans are making claims that they will work to repeal President Obama's health care and financial reform laws. But they haven't gotten specific as to how they plan to do it. Nancy Marshall Genzer reports.
What a divided Congress means for the Fed
Now that the elections are over, it's time to take a look at what the new government will mean for the country's future. Most at stake? The economy. So how will the new Republican-led House affect the Fed's moves? Stacey Vanek Smith reports.
The election's impact on our recovery
President Obama pledged to work with Republicans after they seized control of the House, riding to victory on a vow to control spending. Washington bureau chief John Dimsdale talks with Bob Moon about how Republicans plan to rein in spending, how that might affect our fragile recovery, and what will become of the Bush-era tax cuts.
Can Prop 25 fix California's budget?
California legislators no longer have to have a two-thirds majority to pass a budget -- thanks to the passage of Prop. 25 -- but that still doesn't fix California's money problems.

I was just looking over the SWAC archive after ages and happened to see this. Surprising, you're the only person I knew when I was around, who is still here.. But anyway, I wish you all the best for whatever you do next and I'm actually really happy to see that you chose to leave in a more decent way than I did! Have some virtual cookies, from your old friend :P

So, I'm horrible. I was going through my FanFic emails when I saw that I hadn't read this chapter, I thought I was up to date :P lol. I mustn't have seen the email come in :P
"Oh, please, Tawni, I think we all know that you'd never be able to find someone for yourself"
That made me laugh. Sorry, I'm not a Tawni fan :P
I keep forgetting that all these chapters have happened in such a short time. When Penelope said that it was only one day since the fire, it shocked me :P
Crazy world indeed.
:O OOOOHhh, Devon and Penelope in trouble... kinda :P
Nico is back? Interesting... Well, this story is crazy, but awesome. It's Crawesome? :P Anyway. Update soon :)

This story is amazing! The chapter was written so nicely, I still can't get over your writing. You'll make a great writer if that's what you want to become.
I get why Chloe did what she did but who kidnapped Zora? And why? Why would Chloe kidnap Zora? Why would Nico kidnap Zora? Where is Zora? So many questions! But I'll have to wait for the next chapter for you to answer these questions. :(
Update! :)
| MrB.o.B1990 chapter 15 . 1/9/2013
:O CHASTITY! Wow... You are the master of surprise Cynthia :P
Anyway that was pretty cool. The last bit was really captivating.
Well, I finally read this chap, like I promised :P

Butch Mordick, owner of Mrs. Mike's Potato Chips, confirmed that he has nearly finished the purchase of the Freeport Pretzel Company and will be selling Mrs. Mike's Freeport Pretzels in greater quantities, soon.
Butch Mordick, owner of Mrs. Mike's Potato Chips, confirmed that he has nearly finished the purchase of the Freeport Pretzel Company and will be selling Mrs. Mike's Freeport Pretzels in greater quantities, soon.
He began the purchase in April 2008 and has taken over some distribution, but intends to redesign the label to reflect the "Mrs. Mike's" ownership, Mordick said.
"I am still waiting to wrap up some of the details with Bryan (Thomas)," he said. Thomas is the former owner of the Freeport Pretzel Company and made soft pretzels in his Stephenson Street store. The store was was robbed in 2007 during the Christmas holidays, and, shortly thereafter, closed its doors.
Mordick said a lot of people already knew his intentions to take over the name and distribute the pretzels, which are actually made in Pennsylvania. Thomas made the soft pretzels, but not the hard ones, he said.
"And neither will I. They're made in Pennsylvania. There's no way, it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment," to make them in Freeport, he said.
Thomas created the name "The Freeport Pretzel Company," "and I just bought the rest of his inventory," he said. "I'm going to change that to say Mrs. Mike's Freeport Pretzels, but it will also be a product of the Altona Company, like my chips."
Tough Times for Retailers
While he has added 15 percent to his sales by moving the pretzels, Mordick said the business climate is really tough right now.
"It's rough on small businesses," Mordick said.
Mordick has owned the local chip factory, on Monterey Street, for 37 years and uses 12,000 pounds of potatoes each week.
The cost of potatoes has gone up which has impacted his business.
"I'm paying three times what I should for potatoes right now. It will stay high because a lot of potato farmers switched to growing corn due to ethanol," he said.
Package material have skyrocketed too, he said, because petroleum is used in making the bags.
So Mordick is making use of Thomas' leftover stock which he purchased and has delayed the launch of a new label.
"I have to use up the labels he's got left, they have them at that company, and I will redesign the whole label to make it look a little better. I'm not sure when that's going to be," he said.
Wanted to Sell Pretzels
Adding pretzels to his lineup and having a Freeport pretzel product in the community was something he always wanted to do anyway, he said.
"I was going to do this on my own a few years back. I was going to do the same thing he did. When I was thinking about it he came back to town and approached me about it and I told him if you are going to do it, go ahead. I was under the impression he was going to make them. He made the soft pretzels, but not the hard ones," Mordick said.
Page 2 of 2 - Even though another company makes them they are still tasty and popular, Mordick said, and he can distribute them with the Freeport Pretzel Company name on it.
Find Freeport-brand pretzels at local grocery food stores including, Cub Foods and Sullivan's.
"And I still have other places that want them," he said.
He wishes he could have the label ready so he could pass out small bags during the sesquicentennial.
"But I'm not going to make it. It's one of those things I'm trying to ease into. I'm trying to do it right. I want to get my label changed over," he said.

Megaperls offers Neopan400 in 100ft for 4368yen a roll, Yodobashi camera - a popular shop in Tokyo - is selling it for 3360yen(it was 2709yen before the price raise) with 13% kick back.
I thought Dirk of Megaperls isn't a retail dealer. That's why his price is high.
Fuji's list price of RVP 4x5 50 sheets box is 17829yen(about 150USD, including consumption tax). Yodobashi is offering 13849yen(about 117USD) with 13% kick back for now. I don't think Megaperls's 18004yen + shipping is reasonable.
Since Neopan 100ft rolls aren't available world wide Megaperls is a good source I think, but RVP must have different stories.


text: Those are very good instructions. Respooling is surprisingly simple. The only requirement is patience. If you don't have a changing bag or would rather not sit in a dark closet, you can also use a winter coat. Button all of the buttons or zip it closed. Fold the coat over so the neck and bottom are enclosed and then slip your arms through the cuffs.

Benchmarking is a process by which a farm business can evaluate and compare itself in chosen areas (financial and physical) to an external reference point for the purpose of monitoring and improvement. Using benchmarks can be a way to identify areas of strength and diagnosing problems in performance, as well as establishing good practice for reviewing progress (or not).
Available Benchmarks
A wide variety of benchmarks are available on DairyBase ranging from business type, herd size, location, milking frequency, farm system, profitability and a new initiative is high performing individual farms. Because benchmarks are constantly being updated we recommend you log into DairyBase and request a report to see the most up to date list of available benchmarks or contact DairyBase.
Examples of current and previous season's benchmarking data across New Zealand are available further down the page.
Statistical Validity
A minimum of 20 farms must be entered for a benchmark group before statistics will become available. This ensures that confidentiality of individual data is maintained and that a minimum level of statistical representativeness has been achieved.
The greater the number in the sample, the more accurate the data will be. The validity of the benchmark for a region can be assessed by comparing 'Number in Benchmark Group' from your report with the following:
|Sample Size
|Level of accuracy
Financial Benchmarks Available
You can select benchmarking reports on the basis of a number of physical components eg Business Type, Region, Production System. Some selections can then be ranked on criteria such as EFS per hectare for Top 10%, Top 20% or Top 50%.

Seems they had a time travel ship that just so happens to be nearby...but it needs an Ancient to fly it. Jack due to his mental downloads is chosen, although I don't get why Daniel wasn't a candidate to fly the time ship, he did ascend after all.
O'Neill's ability to fly the timeship actually has more to do with his Ancient gene. Ancient technology is DNA encoded so only an Ancient can use it, but some humans possess a gene which make Ancient tech recognize them as an Ancient. O'Neill does, Daniel doesn't. This is explained better in Atlantis.
Even after The Trust infected Gou'ald place a 'snake' in Kinsey they are still not friends. Wouldn't the Gou'ald in Kinsey be aligned with the others? Even if Kinsey himself wasn't. That bit lost me.
It's common for Goa'uld to willingly sacrifice another to advance their own goals. When Kinsey Snakehead realized his place on the totem pole, he was naturally pissed.
