New Downtown Sarasota Location Will Feature the Industry's Most Innovative Online Technologies
RISMEDIA, March 24, 2011–The local Prudential Real Estate Companies, which includes sister realty agencies Prudential Palms Realty and Prudential Lakewood Ranch Realty, today announced the acquisition of Hunt/Realty Express on Main Street in downtown Sarasota.
"The agents at Realty Express will be a great addition to our company. With the outstanding resources and tech systems available through Prudential, the sales associates will be able to provide an even higher level of client service," said Steve Bailey, executive vice president for Prudential Palms Realty.
This marks Prudential's seventh acquisition since opening in Sarasota in 2002. It also is an indicator of the company's aggressive, but prudent growth strategy in spite of a challenging real estate market. Through this most recent acquisition, Prudential will add a prime downtown location.
"We are forging ahead with a growth plan that positions us as one of the region's leading real estate companies," said Helen Sosso, president and CEO of Prudential Companies. "With the growth trend in Sarasota in the downtown marketplace, it's essential to have a central location where the public can stop in and access the latest real estate information."
Prudential's new Main Street location will reflect the real estate industry's shift toward online technologies as one of the most efficient ways to match homebuyers and sellers. Onsite agents will assist clients with online searches to simplify the home-buying process. The new state-of-the-art office is slated for a grand opening in mid-2011.
Prudential continues to grow by increasing its number of locations through acquisitions, expanding its number of agents through acquisitions and natural organic growth, rolling out new products for its international division and capitalizing on its affiliation with the Prudential brand. From about 75 agents in 2002, the firm has grown to approximately 175 agents today. Recently, Prudential was ranked #1 in Lakewood Ranch in every real estate sales category for 2010, according to Trendgraphix, one of the nation's leading providers of MLS-based real estate reports.
About Prudential Palms Realty and Prudential Lakewood Ranch Realty
Prudential Palms Realty and Prudential Lakewood Ranch Realty are sister companies offering comprehensive services in residential and commercial real estate, rentals and property management, short sales, international sales and a Fine Homes International division, which specializes in luxury residences priced within the top 10 percent of the local marketplace. The agencies serve Sarasota and Manatee counties. Founded in 2002, Prudential is one of the fastest-growing real estate companies in the greater Sarasota area. The company was recently awarded the Gibraltar Circle Award, which is given annually to the top 50 companies in the Prudential Real Estate Network nationwide, based on gross commission income.

A blast of wintry weather made for hazardous mountain driving early in the day, but by evening problems had tapered off as snow accumulations weren't expected to top four inches in the high country — with only an inch or so predicted for the Denver metro area.
"If it is going to snow down here, it's not going to do much," said forecaster Bob Koopmeiners of the National Weather Service in Boulder. "Coming off the foothills, it's just disintegrating when it hits the plains."
Still, Denver Public Works said it was preparing to have crews respond to the city's main roads if snow were to accumulate and, coupled with frigid temperatures, create slick conditions. Moisture and sub-freezing cold could make streets slippery until the morning sun helps de-icing material take full effect.

But shortly after 6 p.m., the Colorado Department of Transportation noted that chains were required on commercial vehicles traveling east-bound Interstate 70 approaching Vail Pass.
"Right now, what we're looking at is scattered snow showers, and I see snow-packed conditions — that's why chains are in place," said CDOT spokesman Fritz Homann.
But he had no reports of traffic incidents other than heavy volume eastbound from the Georgetown and Empire areas to Denver.
Although winter driving conditions remained, problems tapered off from a spate of accidents Sunday morning.
"Right now things are pretty manageable," said Sgt. Mike Baker of the Colorado State Patrol.
Earlier in the day, though, the State Patrol warned drivers to slow down and drive carefully after icy road conditions on Interstate 70 led to six roll-over crashes durign the morning hours.
In juries in the crashes, which took place along a 10-mile stretch of road near the interstate's junction with state Highway 86, were minor to moderate.
"There was only one crash with potentially serious injuries," Baker said. "The roads are just extremely icy, obviously that plays a factor. People need to adjust their driving to the road conditions."
In the most serious accident at about 9:19 a.m., a 58 year-old Missouri man was badly hurt when the 2004 Ford pickup truck he was driving skidded off the Interstate at mile marker 361, Baker said. The patrol hasn't yet identified the man.
A woman who was travelling with him was taken to a hospital, but doesn't appear to have been hurt, he said.
The first accident happened near day break, he said. It is unusual to have such a large number of wrecks in such a short period.

Exercising most mornings, got the wii out and starting to use that a little bit at night.
Decided i would avoid alcohol until my birthday, 3/25/12, and hope to have it only as an occassional choice as it was a daily habit until recently. { i would usually only have one lite beer in the evening but then i'd want coffee, then i'd want a cold beer again, or i'd want chips or crackers or something w/the beer, etc} I bought a blender and started making a glass of fresh juice each night--delish!! I almost didn't do it last night because of the mess {peeling an orange, apple, cutting out bad spots, etc} but it was still quick & easy and i was so glad i did. Its kind of thick. I like using my juicer for the harder fruits {apples, carrots, etc} but it can't do greens or 'thicker' stuff like bananas or avacados. I also like having more of the pulp from oranges, etc. I think i will use both appliances for a couple of weeks while i'm building this new habit/quick start.
I also changed the meal settings on here. I didn't realize it was set for vegetarian.
No big weightloss yet or great muscle/stamina improvements but i do have more energy and feel good about taking care of myself.

Thanks for the comment Outdoor Girl! I still like my juicer and will use the two of them for a little while. I also like putting fruit and vegis together.
I really like how alert i am feeling in the evenings now and i seem to be sleeping more soundly as well.
How long have u been making your own juices? What benefits are u getting from it?
Report Inappropriate Comment
I use to have a juicer and got rid of it. It was not giving me enough of the pulp which is very important.I was throwing that away.
I have been making veggie juice with my blender. It is so easy.
I use
6oz baby carrot's
2 stocks of celery cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons of med salsa
1 16.9 oz battle of water.
I put 1.5 cups of water in blender
then start adding carrot till they are blended
then I add the celery
and blend some more adding more water as I go
Then add the salsa and blend more and add the remanding water.
You can add more veggies of your choice also. There are times that I add different peppers if I have then and broccoli also.
If it is too thick as you are blending just add some more water to it.
Good luck.

I might be a bit slow, and missed somethings, but lots of your updates are reminding me of Dark Cry; Legend of Giratina.
I've looked in your thread, you've even got ''The chosen One'' whom i presume is the only one capable of seeing giratina, like in Dark Cry, the tiles and areas are all too similar to Dark cry as well.

5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.
Tom Pizzica may have not won season six of The Next Food Network Star – but don't go throwing a pity party. He received a pretty sweet consolation prize out of the ordeal - namely his own show.
When Outrageous Food premieres on the Food Network tomorrow night (10 p.m. ET), it's sure to deliver all sorts of unhinged, gravity-defying, exorbitant eats.
But first, a few ground rules on outrageousness from Mr. Pizzica:
Five Outrageous Food Memories: Tom Pizzica
November 4th, 2010
San Francisco city officials are toying with popular children's meals. The city's Board of Supervisors passed a law cracking down on fast food chains that give away free toys with unhealthy meals for children, like the McDonald's "Happy Meal." The law would require kid's meals to meet certain nutritional standards before they could be sold with toys. Officials say the law promotes healthy eating habits and combats childhood obesity.
But not everyone agrees. McDonald's, the National Restaurant Association, and many franchise owners are unhappy with the ordinance. McDonald's says getting a toy with a kid's meal is part of the family experience when visiting the restaurant, and they're just giving the customer what they want.
CNN Newsroom has the STORY
November 4th, 2010
Sink your teeth into today's top stories from around the globe.
November 4th, 2010
Even the most adventurous eaters often give their inner food warrior the day off on Thanksgiving - nothing but the same turkey, stuffing (or dressing!), cranberries, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie they've been eating since childhood. If one of those dishes goes missing, the whole meal just doesn't feel right.
Other families stray away from the standards - some friends of ours have to have collard greens, whiskey sours and banana pudding for the day to feel right, while another family dives into duck - and develop their own must-indulge traditions.
Your assignment - in video or pictures, and as much text as you'd like, using iReport, share the story of your must-have Thanksgiving dish. It could be a cherished family recipe, or something a schoolmate or fellow serviceman whipped up, and you simply must have on the table every year.
We'll share our favorites on Eatocracy from November 15-25, so start whipping 'em up!
See the assignment on iReport and get caught up below.

Which Is Better: More Patients or Less?
The answer may surprise you.
By Gary Gerber, O.D.
Imagine that each of your patients paid you $1,500 each year just to be a "member" of your practice. Then, each time one of them visited you, you'd bill their insurance company as you normally do. In exchange for this arrangement, you agree to only see a fixed number of patients and to provide concierge-type services to these patients who really want to see you -- and who are obviously willing to pay. Once again you are your patients' "doctor" -- not just their
"eyecare provider."
Seeing less, making more
Sound too good to be true? For a small but growing number of
M.D.s, this is their new practice reality. These doctors say that their new brand of "Boutique Medicine" allows them to spend quality time with a smaller number of patients and to provide more comprehensive care.
Seeing fewer patients and making more money -- might it work for optometry? Might there be a market for Ritz-Carlton-like service and fees that exists outside this small group of M.D.s that also fits into our ophthalmic universe? I contend that it's already here and does work -- albeit not nearly to the same degree (at least not yet).
Can optometrists participate in "boutique medicine"
There's no question that the M.D.s participating in these programs chose to do so rather than face the same day-to-day frustrations we deal with in our own practices. Beyond managed care's low reimbursements, the many obstacles that managed care places between us and patients are largely removed with this VIP service business model.
Improve your bottom line
In optometry's case, we could benefit from more carefully analyzing which managed care plans make sense for us. Approached analytically and non-emotionally, we would discover with a spreadsheet what we already surmise as true. Namely, we're seeing significantly more patients and not being paid for it. Looked at over time, we'd see that this is a trend that continues to spiral toward lesser profits per patient.
Stepping back from the spreadsheet and re-examining what our M.D. brethren have done, we'd see that they've rediscovered a fundamental law of economics: If we lower our fees and see more patients, we can raise our fees and see fewer patients. They have certainly chosen to raise their fees in a unique way, but have raised them nonetheless.
So where does all this leave rank-and-file O.D.s struggling with HIPAA headaches and staffing woes? It points to strong evidence that there is another way to be profitable and that feeling like we're powerless against the evil managed care Goliath isn't a reality for all doctors. And if these doctors demonstrate no other lesson, it shows us that careful analysis of your bottom-line business and strategies to improve it will win out over emotional non-factual knee-jerk business decisions.
Examine the example
The intent of this article isn't to stir you to do what these doctors have done. For indeed, significant and real objections to what they're doing exist. Not all patients can afford their higher fees and those who have been patients for a long time may now be forced to seek care elsewhere.
The intent, rather, is to prod you to examine it more globally and realize that increasing numbers of
O.D. practices in the United States are growing and succeeding by gradually seeing fewer patients.
Gerber is the president of the Power Practice, a company specializing in making
optometrists more profitable. Learn more at www.powerpractice.com

Christmas Tree Lighting postponed until Dec. 8
By: Krissi Khokhobashvili, Placer Herald and Press Tribune editor
Event will include parade, music, food and Santa
Rocklin will deck its halls Saturday, Dec. 8, for the third annual Christmas Tree Lighting on historic Front Street. The event, originally scheduled for Dec. 1, has been pushed back a week thanks to forecasted rain.
Sponsored by the Rocklin Kiwanis Club and about 100 community members, the festivities include free refreshments, pictures with Santa Claus, caroling, choir performances, train rides, a petting zoo, activities for children, a tree-decorating contest and, of course, the tree lighting.
Much like the tree itself, the celebration is growing, said Gene Johnson, co-chair of the event with Jill Gayaldo. A community grassroots effort, the Christmas Tree Lighting is made possible by the efforts of a cadre of volunteers.
Johnson said that last year, several businesses decorated trees for the event, and afterward organizers weren't sure what to do with them until somebody had the idea to give them to people in need.
"I ran across one about three weeks ago, and she said, 'We got one of those trees, and we wouldn't have had one if it hadn't been for that,'" he shared.
Maureen Dudley, director of public affairs for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said the Rocklin church will donate at least six Christmas trees this year, and other churches, including Crossroads Community and Spring Valley, will donate decorations.
"We feel very strongly in our church that we want to follow the example of Jesus Christ and all the service he gave to those around him," Dudley said.
Rocklin Fire Department will collect new and unwrapped toys and coats for children in need, and nonperishable food donations will be collected for the Placer Food Bank. A mini-parade starts at 4 p.m., and the Rocklin Police Department will provide child identification kits, and families can meet some of the dogs from the Placer County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Johnson emphasized the importance of event sponsors, including The Ridge Country Club in Auburn, Destiny Christian Church, Rotary, Soroptimists, Kiwanis and Crossroads Church, along with food from Randy Peters, Granite Rock Grill and Rubino's Ristorante.
"It's just a fun event, and our main objective is to get as many organizations involved (as possible)," Johnson said.

But, we are not here to recreate the game exactly how it was in GE64, a lot of things have changed since they first designed that game, mainly in technology and gamers experiences. We are here to take the game even further but at the same time provide a lot of those fun elements that hardcore GE64 fans will enjoy. We've got experienced team members all across the board, from professional level, to amateurs looking to make it into the business working hard to make this dream a reality.
Great game! Be nice if they made a campaign with it. Like the original.
The Best Game Ever
Goldeneye Source is a perfect example of what a mod should strive to be. Fun. It had an idea, went for it and achieved something that is closer to the n64 game then the Nintendo Wii Re-Release multiplayer wise.
Overall I think that if you're the type of person who just wants to pop in for 5 minutes or 5 hours to play a game with your friends online, this is the type of mod you need in your library.
Having been spoiled by such graphics intensive games as Crysis, I really thought I'd be turned off by the relatively simple graphics this mod has. However, I just realized how much fun simple multiplay fps could be! I remember all of this gameplay way back when with the N64...now I can take a rest from the standard FPSs and be nostalgic!
this game is a blast! I'll be with this one for the long haul.
wow where to start for a classic mod that reaches of awesome but with every mod it has it's problems but for this mod the problem are minor thank god.
But lets get it out of the way anyway...Well for 4.1 this is a major leap but the only problem I'm having is that the lazer was nerfed so bad that it's too slow but that is my only problem and I know there are other problems but there already talked about it on the GE:S Forums.
Ok now for the fun part ok for startes this mod has been out there for a while and has been changed several time over but 4.1 is what they are calling it the "mod is out of beta" and it deserves that title.
Graphic/level design OMG it's amazing my personal fave map is still runway but the person that redone silo from scratch needs a medal or something it's amazing the detail towards not just silo but every map including casino the new community map is amazing. The core gameplay is still there and can't wait for more content to come.
Overall for an old HL2 mod this stands the test of time and also revises itself every time and my seal of awesome for this mod is required. So if you haven't played this mod...WTF is wrong with you get HL2 and download this mod you will not regret it.
An outstanding mod that did what I didn't think was possible: To revive the spirit of classic multiplayer shooters. And as a person who really enjoyed the original, I can safely say that this is an improvement in every aspect.
The gameplay hasn't changed much, which is good. The only real change is the fact that you can use an actual mouse to look around, which was not really possible on the N64. All the classic maps are back, including my personal favourite (Facility), with updated textures and models. The Goldeneye weapons return as well, giving a great deal of variety and allowing players to find their own winning strategies. And if you're a person who doesn't care much for online play, there is offline play with bots.
Despite the bot AI being a little stupid at times and there's no crosshair unless you press shift, I don't really see any problems with this mod. Great job, modders!
A great and very polished mod that i can always be gaurannted a good time when i play it and it bring back alot of memories from the old n64 goldeneye
cooool game
Simply awesome, even if you are not a fan you will like it.

The federal agency leading the health survey about contaminated water at Camp Lejeune is using YouTube to reach out to service members and civilians who worked at the base and their families.
The Daily News of Jacksonville reported that the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and the Marine Corps have released three public service announcements on YouTube.
Spokeswoman Vivi Abrams says so far, the agency has sent out almost 284,000 surveys and received more than 63,300 responses. The deadline to submit the survey is the end of this year.
The results of the survey are expected to provide statistical information about health effects of exposure to chemical contaminants in the Camp Lejeune drinking water between the 1950s and 1980s.

Our statement about the Eva Green Ava Lord Sin City: A Dame to Kill For poster…
It has been officially announced that Ms. Green's Ava Lord Sin City: A Dame to Kill For poster is officially banned. It is with great sadness that a pair of covered breasts are deemed more dangerous than a gun. In this regard, @a_kaufman, one of the film's producers, has cleared straight to EGW that the poster "was rejected for in-theater marketing. It will now live forever online.". There is no point in blowing this matter out of proportion.
Sadly, this poster has generated quite a number of attention for the past few hours. While there are a lot of people and fans alike defending the poster and Ms. Green herself, there has been a good amount of prudes and perverts that has come out of the woodwork. Saying disrespectful things towards Ms. Green over this poster is uncalled for and unnecessary. This is a character poster portrayed by an actress, not a poster of an actress as herself. We could learn a thing or two from Ms. Green herself. In her own words: "Nudity is just another costume. Perverts might think otherwise."
Thank you for your concern and understanding.

Saffron's Sameh Wadi: Chef Chat, Part 2
photo by Mike Feltault
When Sameh Wadi's classmates were betting on him to drop out of culinary school, they probably never thought that one day they'd see him on the Food Network battling celebrity chef Masaharu Morimoto on Iron Chef America, in an episode that aired early last year. Wadi was not only the first chef challenger from Minnesota to compete on the show, but, at age 25, he was also the youngest at the time. Today we continue our talk with Wadi and discuss what went through his head when he found out about his classmates' bets, his first professional cooking gigs, and two key people who have shaped his culinary world. (If you missed it, read part 1 here.)
How was cooking school? Did you like it?
I did, I really did. I had a giant Afro. It was probably a 12-inch Afro, and I went into school the first week with it all braided--I didn't care! I did what I wanted to do. And there's this guy telling me that all the bets are against me, and I'm like, "Oh, shit." All of the sudden it's become a personal thing, and I have to prove that all of these people are wrong. He said, "I even bet against you." I took it really seriously. My learning curve was so much higher than most of these people that I was in school with. Some of them were already sous chefs and executive chefs. I was irate, like, "How can I be this bad next to all of these people who are just amazing?" But I knew that I had the basics and that I knew good food. All my life I had been eating good food. I didn't realize I was eating good food until I moved here, and then I had to eat really, really bad food, like cafeteria food at school, and that's when I realized, "You know what? We eat good. We eat fresh, we eat healthy, this is good food."
While I was still in culinary school, I got my first cooking job.
What was that? I was a line cook at this place called Nick and Eddie's. It was a chophouse. The only reason I went to work there is because my mentor, the chef [from culinary school], took a position there as an executive chef, and he needed a cook. I walked in the first day having never worked in a restaurant a day in my life, and he handed me the grill station and said, "It's all yours." I was like, "What? This is a chophouse! The grill is three-fourths of this restaurant. You're making a big mistake, sir."
How did it go? After getting a few steaks thrown at me for being over- or undercooked, mainly overcooked, I was like, "All right, maybe I need to even get better." But he was a badass chef. He was a really, really solid chef and a good cook who taught me a lot of basic techniques.
Can I ask his name? D.P.C. We'll leave it at that.
Okay. Are you still in contact with him? We're still in contact, yeah. I would consider him one of my first mentors. He opened my eyes to the business as it is, as I know it right now.
Did you know what you were going to do after you were done with school? I come from a family of really strong-willed people, so I've never wanted to be a follower, I've always wanted to be a leader. From the very start of my culinary education, I wanted to open up a restaurant. What was the restaurant going to be? I didn't know at the time. As I was in culinary school, I started understanding myself and my style, and I started to embrace my culture even more: I'm no longer just an American now, I'm an Arab American who's very proud of his heritage. When I started doing research while I was in culinary school, there was absolutely not a single soul in this town who was cooking Middle Eastern food in the way that I wanted to be a part of. The closest thing was Tim McKee. He was doing, with Solera, some North African and Spanish food, which all stems from the Arab influence from North Africa on to Spain. That was the closest thing to the food that I grew up on. So a month after school, or two months after I graduated school, I started working at Solera.
And then how long was it until you opened Saffron? We opened in 2007, and I graduated school in 2002, 2003, somewhere around there, so super fast.
Were you cooking in different restaurants during the interim? After Solera, I took a position as an executive chef for this really sweet, old Greek man. I had a nice job working for Tim McKee, you know, one of the most recognized chefs in our city. I was on the fast track with him, but when I first met this other guy, Bill Nicklow, I just had an instant connection with him. He reminded me of my father. He really gave me another push, like, "I want to be like him." This was a 70-year-old man who was still working every single day, at least six to seven hours a day, minimum, and he was the reason I left Solera. I was very happy at Solera, everything was going just as planned, but I met this guy, and I was more drawn to his personality than my career all of a sudden. All of a sudden it felt like family again.
How long were you there for? I'd say about two years. Two months after I left, the place was closed. They lost their lease. And at that point I was ready to open up something with my brother.
Our chat with Sameh Wadi continues tomorrow.

Nala is a female 3.5 month old border collie mix. She was rescued from a shelter and is up-to-date on her puppy shots.
She has been dewormed, and is on Advantage-multi treatment. Nala has been spayed and has recovered from mange.
Nala is shy and takes a while to warm up to new people but is a real bundle of energy once you get to know her.
She is a quick study and learns what is expected of her with an eagerness to please as well as an enthusiasm for treats.
She has a gentle spirit but loves to play with her sister and to chew bones.
Nala will need a home dedicated to her training, exercise and confidence-building activities.
CONTACT INFORMATION: For more information about this dog, please contact Jacqueline.
LOCATION: This adoptable dog is located in Nashville, TN.
Back to Adoptables
Please note that as a policy ETBCR does not place puppies in families with children under 6 years of age, as border collies and border collie mixes can be very reactive to the movements of small children.
Prior to or upon adoption, all dogs in our rescue program are spayed/neutered (there are NO exceptions), fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, started on heartworm prevention, treated with flea and tick preventive, microchipped, and temperament tested. We also strive to crate and house train each dog before placement.

Evidently, it's all the rage in Munich to wrap your new 335i in white vinyl. After snapping up a black version of his BMW, this guy decided he'd be happier with white, but not permanent white. Instead of just having the car painted, he hired a team to wrap the car in Alpine White vinyl. They call if foiling, and while it does change the color of the car for up to four years without harming the paint, it also serves to protect the finish from nicks and dings. You folks out there with a track car that's worth more than your shoes might want to think about foiling your nose. Track scars are cool and all, but so is shiny paint. [we see what you did there, Autoblog]
Foiled, Bimmer Man!

I've been running an MSI KT6 MOB with an Athlon 2500 processor for several years. I had one gig of memory which wasn't enough for some of my photo programs so I decided to add a gig of memory.
At the local Circuit City I say some i gig ram (don't have the infor with me) but was bas backward compatible to my 400 speed bus. It appeared to have the same pin setup as mine except it was DDR2 and my original was DDR PC3200. The nerd assurred me it should work.
So I took the two memory sticks home, took out the old one and put the two new ones in. They fit the slots but wre harder to insert than the old ram. Turned on the computer--absolutely nothing. Not even an attempt to boot.
My big mistake probably was pulling one of the new sticks and insert my old memory along with a new memory stock. That didn't work either and after I removed all the new memory, the old doesn't work either. No attempt to boot. The cd drive lights wink, the hard disk access light come on a glows steady gree, and nothing else happens.
My question: Can the wrong memory physically damage a MOB or processor or existing memory? I would like to think replascing the old memory with a new correct stick would get things up and running again. But I hate to buy another stick of the right ram and then discover it won't work.
Meanwhile I bought a laptop but it uses the Vista OS and I need to get the old computer running because the new one won't run my Canon scanner.
Two things you may have done wrong. First, not unplugging the computer. Second, not looking at the notches in the bottom of the module. They only go in one way.
All the versions of your KT6 mboard use only DDR ram.
Some mboards have both DDR ram slots and DDR2 ram slots - you use one type or the other of ram, not both, and each type must be installed in the proper slots - but that does NOT apply to your mboard.
It cannot use DDR2 ram.
"They fit the slots but wre harder to insert than the old ram."
The modules are the same physical length, but amongst other things, the notch in the contact edge of the module is in a different place. DDR2 cannot be installed so that it sits flat on the bottom of a DDR ram slot, and visa versa. DDR2 ram uses a much lower voltage than DDR ram does. DDR2 ram has more contacts than DDR ram does.
The differences:
If you typing DDR2 was a typo on your part, and you actually got DDR ram,
"They fit the slots but wre harder to insert than the old ram."
They should go in just as easily as the old ram, if the notches in the contact edge are lined up properly with the bumps in the bottom of the slots. If you inserted them backwards, it is difficult if not impossible to get the latches at both ends of the slot to latch into the end of the module because the module cannot go all the way down in it's slot where the notches don't line up with the bumps - you are forcing the bottom of the slot to bend. If any module was backwards when you attempted to boot the computer, any ram module that is in backwards is fried instantly, and the slot that backward ram module was in is instantly ruined and can never be used again. Hence, the old ram modules will not work in the ram slots that were damaged.
Take a look at the contacts on the new modules - if any contacts are missing and/or there are obvious carbon deposits on the contact edge, they have been zapped by installing them backwards.
Similarly, using good lighting and possibly a magnifying glass, examine the ram slots - if you see any contacts are missing and/or carbon deposits and/or melted plastic in the slots, that slot is fried and can never be used again.
If you do see damaged ram slots, you could try cleaning out all carbon deposits and melted plastic in the damaged ram slots such that no plastic bridges two contacts, and no contacts are fused to each other, then
- if you are fortunate, undamaged ram MAY work fine in any remaining undamaged ram slots
- if you are NOT fortunate, the mboard will never work again no matter what you do.
Installing DDR ram in your mboard that is incompatible with the mboard chipset can cause the mboard to not boot, but it won't hurt the mboard if it is installed such that the notch lines up with the bump in the slot.
Using DDR ram of a higher PCxxxx rating than the mboard was rated to use may or may not work but it also won't hurt the mboard if it doesn't work if it is installed such that the notch lines up with the bump in the slot. The problem with using a higher PCxxxx rating than the mboard was rated to use is there is nowhere where you can look up whether it will work for sure - is compatible - the PCxxxx rating itself is backwards compatible, but that's not the only thing that determines ram compatibility.
See response 5 in this for some info about ram compatibilty, and some places where you can find out what will work in your mboard for sure:
Correction to that:
Mushkin www.mushkin.com
Regardless of what the "nerd" told you, you are ultimately responsible for checking things out. Even if you didn't know beforehand that DDR & DDR2 have a different pin count & different notches along the contact edge, you could have (& should have) compared the old RAM to the new before forcing them into the slots. A quick visual comparison would have told that it wouldn't fit. The voltages are totally different too.
You quite possibly fried the whole system...you won't know until you troubleshoot. The fact that your system will no longer boot with the old RAM is not a good sign. You most likely fried the board & probably fried the new RAM too.
BTW, the AXP 2500+ runs at 333MHz FSB, not 400MHz. If you weren't overclocking, all you required was DRR333 (PC2700) or DDR400 (PC3200) clocked down to DDR333 speed. Running DDR400 @ 400MHz with an AXP @ 333MHz degrades performance.
The DDR2 ram notch was just a fraction of an inch off--that sould have tipped me off. Anyway, since that new ram is lower voltage it definately is fried.
I do have another KT6 board--one with three memory slots rather than two that I can swap out. If the processor is gone it's not a huge deal because it was getting long of tooth anyhow. But it was a solid running XP Pro platform.
It's nobody's fault but mine. The DDR2 ram was a lot cheaper that the 333 DDR memory I should have got and the pins and slots looked "about" right.
Thanks for the info
He couldn't have been that much of a nerd if the dipsh!t didn't know the diff between DDR1 and DDR2. You don't even have to be a computer geek for that matter to know the diff.

Also, you do know you have only 2 days left? Then the challenge ends.
My entry is Doctor Who-inspired. This is the planet Skaro on the eve of the 1000 Year War. Now I all I need to do is put it through the war, at the end of which the two humanoid races of Skaro will have all but wiped each other out, leading to the creation of the most horrific force for destruction ever unleashed on time and space - the Daleks.
This map is almost entirely speculative, although a small part is based on the map table General Ravon uses in Genesis of the Daleks. I'm not entirely happy with it, but I'm doing NaNoWriMo, so I can't afford to be fussing over my map too much.

Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
As you can see, my basic concept was to represent the depth of time represented by a thousand years of conflict by splitting it into centuries and reducing opacity 10% per century into the past. It runs into a little trouble in that 10% isn't always enough to differentiate clearly, but it gives the general idea of which parts of the destruction have "faded into the past" and which are fresh wounds. I'm pretty happy with that part of it, and I learned some useful new GIMP skills while doing this map.
This map portrays Skaro as it might have existed at the beginning of "Genesis of the Daleks". It draws on BBC intellectual properties from "Doctor Who" and is basically a piece of fanfiction done as a map.

RECOVERING OUR HONOUR is a four-part documentary series that asks how we can bridge the growing divide between civil society and the military. Filmed in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K., this thought-provoking series airs in ichannel's prime time idocs slot the week of April 8. Here's the official announcement:
During the Canadian combat mission in Afghanistan, people of all ages would line Ontario's famed Highway of Heroes to pay respect as convoys passed carrying the bodies of fallen soldiers. It was a powerful symbol of the bond between ordinary Canadians and our men and women in uniform.
But are symbols enough? Has our military, in fact, grown estranged from the very society it protects?
RECOVERING OUR HONOUR: Building The Bond Between Citizens And Soldiers is a four-part documentary series that considers the state of civil-military relations today in Canada, the U.S. and Great Britain. Why do we have a military? What is it for – and what is our responsibility, as citizens, to those who serve in the armed forces? Most important, how can we strengthen the ties between the military and civilian worlds?
Recovering Our Honour airs on ichannel from Monday April 8 to Thursday April 11 at 9 pm and Midnight ET. The series is hosted by Senator Pamela Wallin.
Recovering Our Honour is produced by Breakout Educational Network in association with Stornoway Productions.
Monday April 8 – In The Beginning: Citizen Soldier
At a time when the military is largely invisible in much of the country, the Canadian Forces reserves can act as a "positive footprint" for the armed forces in our communities and workplaces. This documentary examines the experiences of reservists – the part-time volunteers who have become the backbone of the Canadian armed forces.
Tuesday April 9 – Leadership Lost: No Country For Young Men
Through much of the 20th century, Canadian universities hosted leadership and officer training for the country's armed forces, helping to forge an important link between the military and civil society. Then, during the social upheaval of the 1960s, these university officer training programs were abolished. This documentary takes a look back at a lost tradition.
Wednesday April 10 – Leadership Found: For Queen & Country
While officer training programs at Canadian universities are long defunct, the tradition continues in the U.K., where the Officer Training Corps provides teaching in leadership skills for hundreds of students each year. This documentary asks why the OTC is considered the best club on campus – and whether such a program could work in Canada today.
Thursday April 11 – Leadership Renewed: Bridging The Gap
In the U.S., civil-military relations have reached a crisis point. Most Americans know little about their military, and few members of the country's leadership class have any experience serving in uniform. The military, meanwhile, sees itself increasingly as a world apart. This documentary asks how the bond between U.S. citizens and soldiers became so badly frayed, and considers one hopeful sign of change: the re-emergence of the Reserve Officer Training Corps program, which was dropped by many Ivy League schools during the Vietnam era, but has lately been reinstated at elite institutions such as Harvard, Columbia and Yale.

Recovering Our Honour is the follow-up to the Gemini Award-nominated series A Question Of Honour, which examined Canada's foreign and defence policies.

text: Home Politics Herman Cain's 'Unconventional' Endorsement The suspense is over. He's throwing his support behind "the people." By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Jan. 20 2012 2:10 PM 0 No, he wasn't singing spirituals again. (This week's musical highlight from the political scene is compliments of President Obama, who belted out a little of Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' at a fundraiser last night.) But former Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain did add a unique twist to his long-awaited (if you hadn't forgotten about him) GOP endorsement. Specifically, he failed to choose a candidate. "Who am I going to endorse?" he asked. "I've said consistently, the unconventional candidate ... People say, well what does that mean? It means many in the media aren't gonna like it. But the people are gonna love it. Here is my unconventional endorsement. Not a candidate seeking the nomination, not someone that's not running. My unconventional endorsement is, the people! We the people of this nation ... " In other words, the former Godfather's Pizza CEO and his 9-9-9 plan are behind you. Whether you like it or not. Read more at CBS News. Like The Root on Facebook.

Grill Guards
How To Install a Grille Guard / Bull Bar
Grille guards, bull bars, push bars, and bumper guards all offer good looks and serious protection for the front of your vehicle against hard knocks found on roads and trails everywhere. One of the best things about these protective devices is even though they'll look good and keep their high-strength integrity for a long time, it only takes a very short time to install any of them. In fact, they can bolted on relatively easily, in most cases using simple hand tools.

The new Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG: Enhanced performance, reduced weight and consumption

Design and equipment: New AMG brand face
New AMG radiator grille with striking twin blades
Interior featuring maximum high-class appeal and precision workmanship
Optional Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG sound system
The top-of-the-range AMG model is once again playing a leading role - this time in terms of design. The SL 63 AMG is the first high-performance model to feature the new brand face. The two elements which dominate the form – the radiator grille and the lower cooling air intake – are retained but in reinterpreted form which gives them a more distinctive identity in terms of dynamism and the sense of perceived value they convey. The central styling feature is the new "twin blade" radiator grille in silver chrome. The Mercedes star is mounted on two blade-like louvres whose profile recalls that of an aircraft wing. The more pronounced V-shape of the radiator grille optimises the longitudinal proportions of the vehicle and so adds even greater visual emphasis to the attributes of aerodynamics and purism.
Below the radiator grille with its twin blades, the stylised "A" - a characteristic feature of AMG vehicles - is retained. A gap formed below a fine black fin at the lower edge of the cooling air opening allows optimum airflow over the cooling modules – a perfect combination of aesthetics and high technology. The lower cross strut in the front apron is also finished in silver chrome and is given a perceived sense of depth by the gap above it – a distinctive note which adds the perfect finishing touch to the front of the vehicle. The "twin blade" radiator grille and lower cross strut are the two complementary styling elements which underline the new AMG brand face – a look which will be picked up by the styling of future AMG models and so further increase the recognition value of the AMG performance brand.
AMG bodystyling with characteristic features
The SL 63 AMG boasts classic sports car proportions: the long bonnet, compact passenger compartment set well back, and the powerful rear are all combined skilfully with the characteristic AMG bodystyling features. These include the front apron with black grilles and large openings for engine oil, water, charge air and transmission oil coolers, the side skirt panelling and the exciting profile of the diffuser-style rear apron with body-coloured insert. The standard-specification ILS headlamps are characterised by very high-quality tubes for the low and main beam which have been styled with great attention to detail, plus a chrome bracket surrounding the main headlamp and the flared arrangement of the indicator lamps and sidelights. All of the further functions feature LED technology – such as the distinctively curved sidelights. The surrounds of the special AMG daytime driving lights, the side fins on the wings and the fins on the bonnet have the same silver-chrome finish as the radiator grille and the lower strut in the front apron.
The side profile is dominated by the "V8 BITURBO" logos and the titanium grey-painted 5-twin-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels with high-sheen finish. The front axle is fitted with 255/35 R 19 tyres on 9.0 x 19 rims, while the rear has 285/30 R 19 tyres on 10 x 19 rims. A highlight at the rear is the AMG sports exhaust system, with its two chromed twin tailpipes integrated into the bumper. The AMG spoiler lip helps to reduce lift on the rear axle while increasing driving stability at high speeds.
Exceptional quality of interior finish
The interior of the SL 63 AMG is characterised by the typical wrap-around effect, as already featured in the CLS 63 AMG: in conjunction with the beltlines on the doors and the parcel shelf, the upper section of the dashboard creates a formal unity. The generous amount of space, high-quality materials, high sense of perceived value and lovingly crafted details displaying tangible and visible precision all exude a sense of ultimate quality. Minimal gap dimensions please the eye and reflect the high precision with which the SL has been produced.
A delight for all of the senses: this comes courtesy of the specific style elements, familiar from the SLS AMG, such as the four air vents in the style of jet engines, the AMG DRIVE UNIT - exclusive to AMG - and the leather-clad E-SELECT selector lever with embossed AMG badge. To the left of the selector lever are three buttons: the front button operates the 3-stage ESP® system, the centre button controls the AMG sports suspension based on Active Body Control, while the rear button with the AMG symbol is used to store personal settings (transmission mode, suspension mode, ESP® function). Pressing briefly on the AMG button enables the configuration options to be called up, while holding down the button longer allows the desired setup to be chosen, as confirmed by means of an audible signal. In addition, pressing a button at any time also displays the chosen setup in the instrument cluster.
AMG main menu and AMG Performance steering wheel
Two tube-shaped round cockpit instruments provide information on engine rpm and tank capacity (left), and road speed and coolant temperature (right). Three-dimensional graduated rings, back-lit dials in the centre of the speedometer and rev counter, AMG-specific red dials and the 360 km/h speedometer scale all add to the emotional appeal. The driver is greeted by an AMG start-up screen which appears in the centrally located three-dimensional TFT colour display. The AMG main menu is also integrated into the central display: three modes of "Warm Up", "Set Up" and "RACE" provide the driver with comprehensive information. "Warm Up" displays the engine oil and coolant temperatures as well as the operating status of the ECO start/stop function; "Set Up" provides information on the current ESP® mode, suspension mode and the transmission modes "C", "S", "S+" or "M". In "RACE" mode, the RACETIMER becomes available. The driver can use this to record lap times on a closed-off racing circuit. The gear display is located above the central display.
A visual and tactile highlight of the interior of the SL 63 AMG is the new AMG Performance steering wheel: specially shaped grip areas finished in perforated leather, together with flattened top and bottom sections, help to ensure perfect control of the vehicle. Aluminium shift paddles enable manual shifting. The bottom end of the galvanised spokes features an AMG logo for the first time. The airbag cover, which has a three-dimensional shape, is finished in nappa leather. Twelve function buttons allow the audio and navigation system, the driver assistance systems, the on-board computer and the AMG main menu to be controlled.
Optional nappa leather in four different colours
First-class comfort on long journeys and high levels of lateral support come courtesy of the electrically-adjustable AMG sports seats. They not only feature a distinct V8 seat upholstery layout and AMG badges on the seat backrests, but also 4-way lumbar support, memory function, seat heating and a multicontour function: this allows the seat cushion length and side bolster support to be adjusted. The nappa leather upholstery covers the armrests in the doors and centre console, and includes stitching and edging in contrasting colours. Optional colours range from black, porcelain and Bengal red, to ginger beige/espresso brown. For an even higher quality ambience, Exclusive nappa leather is also available as an option: it includes a nappa leather finish on the dashboard, door panelling, rear compartment panelling and parcel shelf. Contrasting stitching and a roof lining, including A/C pillars finished in DINAMICA microfibre are also included.
The standard ambient lighting bathes the interior in a pleasant indirect light. Three colours (SOLAR, SOLAR red and SOLAR orange) are available to choose from. The fibre-optic cables offering three colour options are fitted on a level between the beltline and door centre panel, almost along the entire length of the doors, behind the trim for the dashboard and in the front panelling. An exclusive highlight reserved for the SL 63 AMG is the AMG-specific analogue clock, located centrally on the dashboard and featuring an IWC design.
The standard equipment on the SL 63 AMG includes AMG carbon-fibre trim, which affords the interior an appealing motorsport feel. Optionally available at no extra cost are aluminium trim elements with a dark or light longitudinal-grain, and also wood trims in high-gloss black ash, light-brown satin or high-gloss brown finishes.
Further standard equipment for the SL 63 AMG at a glance (selection):
AMG door sill panels in brushed stainless steel with white illumination
COMAND Online with 6-disc DVD changer
anti-theft alarm system
remote-unlocking boot lid incl. power closing for boot lid
Intelligent Light System (ILS)
MAGIC VISION CONTROL adaptive windscreen cleaning system
NECK-PRO head restraints
PRE-SAFE® system
cruise control with SPEEDTRONIC
automatic, pop-up roll-over bars for driver and front passenger
A comprehensive range of attractive optional extras is also available for the SL 63 AMG (selection):
AIRSCARF neck-level heating
Active Multicontour Seat package
Active Parking Assist incl. PARKTRONIC
Driving Assistance package Plus (DISTRONIC PLUS incl. BAS PLUS, PRE-SAFE® brake, Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist)
Dynamic seats
harman/kardon® Logic 7® surround sound system
wood/leather steering wheel
KEYLESS-GO Convenience package (incl. remote-closing boot lid and HANDS-FREE ACCESS system)
climatised seats
electric draught-stop
Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end surround sound system
An attractive highlight among the optional extras for the SL 63 AMG is the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG high-end surround sound system, as found on the SLS AMG: Mercedes-Benz and AMG have created it in conjunction with famous Danish audio specialists Bang & Olufsen. The sound system enables an exclusive music experience to be enjoyed at the very highest level. The basis of the system is formed not only by the amplifier with a total output of 900 watts and 12 high-end loudspeakers including Frontbass, but also the precise distribution of the music signals, controlled by the sound processor, to the selectable seating positions of driver, front passenger or the central position.
Thanks to the digital sound processor (DSP), it is also possible to choose between the high-end "reference" studio sound and spacious surround sound. All of the functions are operated using the COMAND system via a special Bang & Olufsen menu. Particular highlights include the illuminated lens tweeters on the dashboard – they help to create the characteristic virtual sound stage in front of the vehicle occupants. High-quality aluminium loudspeaker covers finished in silver chrome with the Bang & Olufsen logo give an indication of the exceptional position enjoyed by this high-end system.

June 15,1965: Sam is a photographer who must protect a fashion model from a growing dependency on amphetamines and a predatory manager's ambitions.
original airdate--October 19,1990 rating--8.3 million
network: NBC
music: "Quantum Leap Theme Song" by Mike Post & Velton Ray Bunch
Leapee--Karl Granson
Place--New York City, NY
Sam Trivia-- Remembers he had two cats, Donder and Blitzen, when he was growing up on the farm.
Al Trivia-- We learn that in the 60s he used to visit photographer buddies in New York when they were doing fashion shoots.
Trivia: The title references the song "One Toke Over The Line" by Brewer & Shipley from 1970, an obvious drug reference, which relates to this episode's content.
Opening narration by Ziggy
Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

... and you're afraid you're going to fall asleep on your bike?
What I did on my 400 was:

- sing
- stop for 5 mn and eat
Any other ideas?
... and you're afraid you're going to fall asleep on your bike?
What I did on my 400 was:
- chat with the other cyclists in my group (I was lucky enough to ride with 2 other cyclists at least)
- sing
- stop for 5 mn and eat
Any other ideas?
In addition to your suggestions:Originally Posted by claire
Stop for 5 to 10 minutes, well off the road, brace legs on either side, put head down on bars and take a nap.
Stop for 15 to 20 minutes, well off the road, lie down in the grass (or mud, if necessary) and take a (longer) nap.
If stopping is impossible because of risk of missing a control deadline, sing "99-bottles of beer". The backwards-counting step helps to make your brain wake up a bit with every verse.
Eat a big slug of calories, wait five to ten minutes to get some into the blood-stream, then stand up and sprint like the devil is chasing you.
All of these strategies helped me get through BMB with a cumulative total of about 6 hours of sleep. One other strategy -- train harder beforehand so that you can ride faster and arrive before you get sleepy, or so that you have more time to sleep en route.
+1 to this. If your blood sugar gets low, sleepiness will follow. If you can continue eating, and add some sweeter items to add glucose to your system, then that should help keep you awake. Increasing your heart rate also helps keep sleepiness at bay. My riskiest times at night are on long descents, where I've stopped pedaling, and I've usually forgotten to eat because I was focused on climbing the hill that I was now descending.Originally Posted by thebulls
Find a nice shady spot, have a drink and some lunch, take a nap. Singing and chatting are great, too, (that's what I do); if that's not enough, you really need to listen to what you're body's telling you. If it means you don't get the time you want, at least you'll be around to try again. Driving drowsy is dangerous, but cycling sleepy is suicidal.
A 15 minute "power nap" is a proven strategy for regaining some alertness. If you're out on your own, it may be your best option. The scary thing is that if you are having a hard time keeping your eyes open, you are almost certainly already falling asleep for brief moments and are unaware of it.
The first thing I do when I start to feel sleepy is EAT. I forget to eat in the middle of the night, and sometimes it is more challenging to dig around and find food, so I just let it go ... and then I get sleepy.
Usually eating works.
If eating doesn't work, or while I'm waiting for the food to digest, I move into singing or talking to myself.
Finally, I resort to the 5-10 minute nap ... if I can. There have been a lot of rides lately where it has been pouring rain or freezing cold in the middle of the night and I can't pull over and sleep. So I eat more and hope for the best. I may dip into my caffeinated gels too.
Stop and eat usually. As for singing, for some reason I can't hardly seem to stop doing that while I'm riding
How does one wake up from a 15 minute nap? Do you take an alarm clock?
I use the alarm feature in my cell phone. A wristwatch HRM alarm works as well.Originally Posted by znomit
One other strategy: Caffeine deprivation in the months before the event makes it so that when you actually drink caffeine during the event, it works like the drug that it is. I quit drinking coffee about three weeks ago, so I'm already resensitized in time for the 400's and the 600. Even just drinking a coke or a cup of coffee will wake me up, considerably. Vivarin or No-Doz work wonders.Originally Posted by thebulls
On the question of waking up from a fifteen minute nap ... on BMB, I would take a Vivarin just before taking a nap, on the theory that it'd be hitting my blood stream and helping me wake up, just when I wanted to be waking up. But other times when I didn't do that, I still woke up in about fifteen minutes.
Cutting back on the caffeine in the months before long brevets does work. When I do that, I find that a nice cup of hot tea or coffee can really hit the spot. Coke and Nestea Ice Tea (brewed with real tea) are nice too.
(And BTW - I prefer tea and will usually choose tea over coffee, but I made the discovery that on the PBP, it is better to choose coffee rather than tea, unless you bring your own tea bags.)
However, a small word of caution about taking caffeine pills. I know some riders can take them with no trouble at all, and they work for them, but I discovered that I am not one of those riders. I can take caffeine pills to help me through a day of classes after staying up all night the night before, and they work just fine with no ill effects, but when I've taken them on brevets, about 30 minutes later, I'm violently ill. I don't know what it is, but my system just seems to want to get rid of them.
If you are thinking of trying them, maybe try a low dose ... or try them on a 200 or 300K. Don't try them for the first time on any really big, significant event.
Same for me, but on simple coffee. I can drink loads of [French style] coffee at work and tried your trick on PBP. I figured no drinking coffee for a couple of days would increase coffee efficiency when needed. I tried it after over 400 km (means the first night and over half a day) and got instantly sick. Never tried coffee again on long distance rides. All in all, coffee does not work for keeping me awake (but 10' naps do wonders, during daytime)Originally Posted by Machka
Thanks everyone for the advice. On the 400 it was so cold during the night that stopping for a snooze was not an option... I was asking the question because it was pretty much my only problem on the 400: I didn't really hurt anywhere, except my ass but it seemed to disappear after a few hours, I didn't find the position uncomfortable for long periods of time and I was able to eat enough and digest my food. But I would sometimes have these moments of tiredness which made me really wonder what I was doing here and think there is no way I sign up for a 600... I'm doing my 600 (my very first!!) in a couple of weeks and dealing with the lack of sleep is really the only thing I'm nervous about!
Plan to sleep for a couple hours around about the 350-400 km point. It helps.Originally Posted by claire
