The Realtek ALC655 is an AC97 CODEC that allows 6-channel audio playback. The audio CODEC provides six DAC channels for 5.1 surround sound, AUX, and Line In stereo inputs.
Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component.

When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.
Screw holes
Place eight (8) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Power up the system and enter the BIOS Setup (see Chapter 2: BIOS setup). Under the Advanced Menu, make sure that the item HyperThreading Technology is set to Enabled. The item appears only if you installed a CPU that supports Hyper-Threading Technology. Reboot the computer.
Installling the CPU heatsink and fan
The Intel Pentium 4/Pentium D LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly When you buy a boxed Intel Pentium 4 processor, the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intelcertified multidirectional heatsink and fan. Your Intel Pentium 4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan: 1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.
Fastener Motherboard hole
Make sure each fastener is oriented as shown, with the narrow groove directed outward.
Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place.
When the fan and heatsink assembly is in place, connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_FAN.
P5VDC-TVM SE CPU fan connector Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector.
Uninstalling the CPU heatsink and fan
To uninstall the CPU heatsink and fan: 1. Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_ FAN. Rotate each fastener counterclockwise.
Pull up two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to disengage the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard.
Remove the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard.
Rotate each fastener clockwise to reset the orientation.

A massive peat bog covering some 40,000 to 80,000 square miles has been discovered in the central African nation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, reported the BBC.
After satellite images suggested what could be a huge tropical peatland -- about the size of England, according to the BBC -- in a remote area of Congo-Brazzaville, a research team from the University of Leeds, the Wildlife Conservation Society-Congo, and Congo-Brazzaville's Marien Ngouabi University ventured into the soggy area and confirmed its presence.
Peat is formed when plant matter does not fully decompose and sinks over time into the soil. The peat-layer in the enormous bog reaches nearly 23 feet beneath the ground and contains billions of tonnes of ancient, partially decayed vegetation, researchers said.
"Peatlands, generally, have been a big carbon sink over the past 10,000 years," the University of Leeds' Dr. Simon Lewis told BBC News. With so much organic matter caught so deep in the carbon-packed soil, the team hopes peat samples taken from the area will help shed more light on Earth's distant-past climate.
Besides its sheer size, another thing that makes the peat bog discovery amazing is its location in a tropical climate, Lewis said. Peatlands generally need colder areas that will slow vegetation decomposition. "It's rare to find them in the wet and warm tropics, so that makes this an unusual discovery," he said.
The peat samples taken from the expedition have been sent to the United Kingdom for analysis.

Hal Hartley Takes Latest Film to Netflix for DVD Release
by Eugene Hernandez
Following up on its recent DVD release of Tim Robbins' "Embedded Live," Netflix has announced a deal to distribute Hal Hartley's "The Girl From Monday." The exclusive DVD release will be promoted by the online movie rental company, debuting later this month.
Hartley's "Girl", which premiered at Sundance this year, was released in theaters by Hartley and his longtime editor Steve Hamilton via The Possible Films Collection, a company they co-founded. The film will be available to the 3 million Netflix members beginning July 19th with the online outfit targeting members based on their rental histories and film ratings.
The film is described as "a funny and thought-provoking farce told in the rhythms of a sci-fi thriller." It stars Sabrina Lloyd, Bill Sage, and Leo Fitzpatrick, including the debut of model Tatiana Abracos.
"Even though we felt 'The Girl From Monday' had great commercial appeal, most mainstream distributors thought it was too much of an art film to warrant the high cost of theatrical release," said Steve Hamilton, in a statement. "As an alternative means of promoting our film, we joined forces with Netflix, a company whose model and philosophy provided a much more direct link between the filmmaker and the viewer."
Other releases from The Possible Film Collection have included Richard Sylvarnes' "The Cloud of Unknowing," and a collection of shorts by Hartley.
"Through projects like "The Girl From Monday," we at Netflix aim to give filmmakers a platform to promote their high quality projects, while providing a channel for powerful films to penetrate viewers' homes, lives and culture in a meaningful and measurable way," said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix, in a statement.
At the Apple Store last month, as part of the indieWIRE Presents monthly discussion series, Hartley talked about his next film and explained that he is leaving New York and relocating to Berlin. The new movie, essentially "Henry Fool" Part 2 as he explained it, will be shot in Berlin, Paris, and Istanbul. Parkey Posey will star as the title character "Fay Grim", playing the wife of Henry Fool -- 7 years later -- in a story of, "a well intentioned but naive American who finds out about what the world is really like."
Asked why he is moving to Europe, Hartley said, "I need to work and I can't work here. Its impossibe to make art film in America, particularly in New York." Continuing he added, "Its just too expensive to make work here, if you want to pursue work that is based on your interest you can't necessarily be tied to being a commercial success and thats all that happens here."

I have a question about upcasting related to this example: a with elements less than 0.5 zeroed out: Matlab: a .* (a>0.5) NumPy: where(a<0.5, 0, a) I think numpy should be able to do a*a>0.5 as well, but instead one must do: a*(a>0.5).astype('i') Is it desireable to upcast bools in this case? I think so, one could always recover the current behavior by doing: (a*(a>0.5)).astype('?') Darren

Stay was as expected. Nothing stood out as exceptional. Nothing was lacking.
Everything was fine for our conference.
all was good
For an older hotel, this location was very well kept and comfortable, extras were great. I am a trucker, so truck parking is a must, and this place accommodated my needs perfectlyand made sure my room was adjacent to my rig so I can keep tabs on my life's investment.
Was pleased with all the services
Plus:Very good breakfast included - biscuits and gravy, fruit, cereal, muffins, etc. Minus: Parking and site access is awkward.
it is always pleasant

Hi all,
Complete beginner here.....just wondering if anyone can help me confirm if the plant below is a weed or vegetable/plant....
I have searched high and low and the only item i can find similar is a Canada Thistle?
Please excuse my ignorance!
Hi Paul
It looks to me like a seedling of one of the ornamental poppies (commonly called opium poppies) - they seed themselves around all over the place and the seeds keep coming up for years afterwards.
As a weed is a plant in the wrong place, if this is in your veg patch it's probably best regarded as a weed. If you want to transplant it to a flower bed you can try, but in my experience they don't take very kindly to being transplanted.
Looks like a poppy to me too.
Poppy says me
Ditto - I thought poppy too.
If you move it with a large enough lump of soil it won't know the difference
I just love poppies.If you collect the seeds Paul you can have a lot more for next year.
If it's a poppy I'd be horribly tempted to leave it just where it is and see what nature gives you! Might be candy pink double, could be single red....or purple...live a little! Enjoy! Whatever...poppies are gorgeous!

With gas prices all across the country hitting near $4 a gallon residents are making sure before they hit the road, they catch a good deal.
"I drive kind of a beast at four dollars a gallon, its 150 bucks to fill up," said Tallahassee resident David Jordan.
That's one reason people are lining up at this Chevron Station on North Monroe Street and Talpeco Road.
It's just one of several gas stations in our area offering gas at $3.49 a gallon.
"This really does help with making sure I enjoy the weekend and enjoy time with my family," said regular customer Gwendolyn Lynn.
Last week gas prices were as low as $3.46 here and for some residents it has them filling up more than just their cars.
But seeing prices fall here but rise everywhere else isn't making too many happy either.
"They're not suppose to sell gas below their cost so if they're selling it for three dollars and 49 cents and all the other stations are three dollars and 85 cents and stuff," said a frustrated customer Jeff Davis. "It means they're gouging us, they're making huge profits."
But one thing these residents say they won't be worried about is gas prices putting the breaks on their holiday weekend.
Gas prices are as high as four dollars a gallon in Tallahassee.

A Los Angeles political firm denies it misled a congressional candidate in North Carolina about a radio ad using an actor who sounded like actor Morgan Freeman. MEI Political says it made clear verbally and in writing to Republican B.J. Lawson's campaign that it was using a voice double of Freeman for the ad.
Lawson's campaign said Monday night the campaign was scammed by the political firm into believing that Freeman had done the narration for an ad.
Freeman said in a statement through his publicist Monday that he never recorded any ads for North Carolina candidate B.J. Lawson and that he does not support Lawson's candidacy.
The advertisement features a narrator with a voice that resembles Freeman's. The narrator says at the conclusion of that ad, "It's time that you and I had a voice in Washington. Vote B.J. Lawson for Congress."
Lawson and campaign manager Martin Avila initially said Freeman did the ad. Avila later backed off that claim, saying the campaign had a contract signed for a Freeman ad with Los Angeles-based agency M.E.I. Political. The agency did not return a call seeking comment.
Lawson is running against Democrat incumbent David Price in the Fourth District. That includes parts of Chatham, Durham, Orange and Wake counties.

FPS sandbox hidden in a competitive modern shooter.WhiteStripes | Oct. 21, 2013 | Review of Battlefield 3 NA Origin (1) - PC
Battlefield is more than just your run of the mill modern shoot 'em up game. There is literally so much you can do in this game it's possible to put in a couple hundred hours and still have things to do or new ways to entertain yourself. Do you want to have a friend put a claymore on a jeep, drive up to an enemy, and you detonate the claymore with an EMP pulse from an unmanned scout drone to kill them? In BF3 you can do that. On top of the ridiculous Frostbite 2 engine that lets some amazing feats of sillyness happen is placed a truly awesome FPS that offers some of the most large scale fun for all out modern combat I've played. I proudly say that this is one of my favorite shooters and a must to play with friends.

Available April 12th, Telarc releases superb recording by classical guitarist David Russell of the music of Issac Albénia
Seán Martinfield
Sentinel Editor and Publisher
Photo by Lynn Imanaka
DAVID RUSSELL, recognized for his "evident mastery" of the Spanish guitar repertoire, releases a new album featuring distinctive works by master Isaac Albéniz. With movements from the critically-acclaimed Doce Piezas Caracteristicas and the picturesque Cantos de España to enchanting, Gypsy-inspired dances like the Zambra Granadina, the album celebrates the best of Albéniz' oeuvre, including works originally composed for other instruments.
"The magic in Albeniz' Spanish melodies is unsurpassed. Many of his pieces sound so good on the guitar that it is amazing that they were not written for our instrument," says Russell. "I am sure that he had the sound of the guitar in the back of his mind, while he was writing them."
The Suite Española No. 1 of 1886 is among the earliest of Albéniz's characteristic compositions. He wrote that Granada, composed during a visit to that southern city, is "a Serenata, romantic to the point of paroxysm and sad to the point of despair, among the aroma of flowers, the shade of the cypresses, and the snow of the Sierra…. I want the Arabic Granada, that which is all art, which is all that seems to me beauty and emotion." Albéniz composed the seven musical postcards of his Recuerdos de Viaje ("Souvenirs of a Journey") in Madrid in 1886-1887 in the styles of traditional Spanish dances. Rumores de la Caleta ("Murmurs of La Caleta"), which refers to the popular beach in the historic center of the ancient city of Cádiz, is modeled on the malagueña, a gently swaying dance that originated in Málaga.
Isaac Albeniz: Spanish Music on Guitar joins Russell's catalogue of traditional guitar repertory, including records featuring the music of Paraguayan guitarist-composer Agustín Barrios Mangoré, Spanish composer Federico Moreno Torroba, and the three Rodrigo concerti for solo guitar (Concierto de Aranjuez, Fantasía para un Gentilhombre and Concierto para una Fiesta), along with his most recent Art of the Guitar.
Winner of the 2005 Grammy® award for best instrumental soloist, guitarist David Russell is recognized worldwide for his superb musicianship and inspired artistry. Lauded by The New York Times for his "talent of extraordinary dimension," Russell has appeared regularly at prestigious halls in main cities, such as New York, London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Madrid, Toronto or Rome. Since 1995, he has recorded exclusively for Telarc International, with which he has recorded sixteen CDs, among them the Grammy-winning Aire Latino.
Named a Fellow of The Royal Academy of Music in London in 1997, Russell has also won the Medal of Honor from the Conservatory of the Balearics, along with numerous international competitions, including the Andrés Segovia Competition , the José Ramírez Competition and Spain's prestigious Francisco Tárrega Competition .
In 2009, Russell was named honorary member of "Amigos de la Guitarra", the oldest guitar society in Spain, and both a street in Es Migjorn, Minorca, and an auditorium at the music conservatory of Vigo have been named after him. The town of Nigrán, where he resides, awarded Russell a silver medal in recognition of his 2005 Grammy® win.

There are two online modes with Everybody's Golf Vita. There are three daily tournaments that anyone with a copy of the game and online connectivity can enter. There is no interaction with anybody else, except seeing how your score compares to everyone else's at the end of the round, and an overall online leaderboard.
The second are many various tournaments that take place at fifteen minute intervals, that can be accessed from the various lobbies, where you can wander around and talk to others via a (pretty cheap feeling) avatar system. Once the tournament starts, you can talk to the other players you are participating against in between different holes. It's fun, and gives you a higher chance of coming out in first place than just going into the daily tournaments and trying to beat everyone in the world, but it's frustrating having to wait around until you can go to the next hole. Difficult to explain. It's fun, but the ratio of waiting around to actually playing golf (probably 1:1) makes it something I do rarely.
The whole online aspect is still great, and gives you incentive to play every day (I'm currently in the top 12% of Everybody's Golf players), but I do wish the options for direct play against other players was more plentiful.
I wouldn't recommend getting a Vita *just* for EG, as I have. I'd wait for more games to come out, as current release lists for the console look unbelievably bare, but I definitely don't regret my purchase.

The other strange thing about golf games is that they really haven't progressed over the years like other sports games. I know they are limited to a narrow stretch of fairway and the green, and adjustments to the mechanics etc, but we're still seeing a flyover, a swing, a putt and some cardboard cutouts clapping. I don't know what they could do - make the course open world so you could go off hunting your ball under some gorse maybe
- but it's a lot duller than it should be.
Driving around in a little golf cart? A "Happy Gilmore" game, where you could do cool stuff like beat up your opponents and wrestle alligators? I'd DEFINITELY play that!
The new Tiger Woods sounds interesting, in that it has a new control system using the analogue sticks. metro.co.uk indicate it's a huge step forward for golf games, and it makes me want to try it. But still, EA's shitty DLC-selling tactics makes it a definite pass.

Most of my work, if I have to start a new thread, I will weave in the short working thread back into the bead work, doing half hitch knots along the way. Then, with my new working thread, I start back in the bead work and go forward doing half hitch knots until I come out of the bead where I started. This works great for peyote stitch, brick stitch, and other weaves where following the thread path and doing your knots is an easy thing to do.
However, there are sometimes when doing so is not the best course of action. If you're using tiny Czech seed beads that have very small holes, weaving through those beads again with your thread may mean taking the chance of a bead breaking. To lessen that possibility, there are a few knots that I use that allow you to do very little thread weaving and yet give you a secure knot.
The Fisherman's Knot is one that I use frequently. Be sure to leave enough working thread to make an overhand knot on the new thread. Then make an overhand knot with the new thread on the older thread further back. As these knots tighten, they march towards each other and each stops the other and becomes more secure as you pull on the new thread. I just keep beading and the two short ends of the threads work themselves into the beadwork. One caveat: both knots have to be small enough to go through your beads. Here is the knot done with cording so you can see it (Figure 1).
For some reason, you might find yourself with a very short tail that you want to lengthen. In this case, I would use what I call the Slipknot Knot. This one is also very easy. With your old working thread you make a slip knot. Through that slipknot you put your new working thread and tighten the slipknot as much as you can. You then work this short tail of your old working thread back into the beadwork by just continuing to bead. You will have to watch the short tail of the new working thread to make sure it is carried forward with the new working thread. You do that by threading your needle with both new short and long parts of the new working thread. This makes a smaller knot, which you can get through smaller holes. This knot is very secure and will not come apart if the old working tail is worked back into the older bead work and the newer working tail is worked into the newer beadwork. This technique is shown with the cording below (Figure 2).
Remember that it's always best to weave in the tail and weave in your new thread without using any knots at all. But when that's not possible, these two knots are easy to do, easy to hide, and very secure.
Now let's see if you can find where I added thread in this piece (Figure 3).
Dr. Gail H. Devoid, Ph.D. is president of Need for Beads, Inc. and teaches beading techniques through programs at the Bead Society of New Hampshire. She also co-hosted a live, free, Internet radio show called The Jewelry Connection.

text: William Jessup University and World Vision U.S. are partnering to create new opportunities for leadership development and providing more extensive resources for children in need, students and churches. The initiative is the first ever of its kind to partner World Vision's U.S. operations with an educational institution. "As a university, we strive to prepare our students to be 'world changers' who are equipped to respond to the numerous social injustice issues of our time," said Dr. John Jackson, president of William Jessup University. "This partnership is one of a series William Jessup University will establish to gain greater Kingdom impact for children, students and churches. By joining forces with leaders and churches, we can make a significant difference by connecting our strengths to communicate better awareness of these ongoing human tragedies." As part of the partnership, the university's Chapel programs will highlight opportunities for student involvement with social injustice issues, in addition to specialized coursework for students in specific programs of study such as Public Policy or Intercultural Communications. Students involved in Jessup's University Choir music program will also share their involvement with the developing program as they travel to different venues. Dr. Jackson said the university is working to develop similar partnerships with other organizations. World Vision and WJU are working to select a country of focus with plans to organize a pastor's vision trip highlighting the dire need many people face throughout the developing countries of the world. World Vision also plans to offer a select number of summer internships to Jessup students providing firsthand experience designed to further educate them about the humanitarian issues served by the global organization. World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

LeBron strung together his second straight game — a whole game, at that — in the post-fit adjustment Nike LeBron 11 era last night, racking up 30 points, nine rebounds, nine assists and one steal in his white, red and black "Home" colorway.
Miami romped over the Jazz, 117-94.
The Heat superstar looked fully comfortable in his kicks, juking, jiving, and jamming throughout the game, but rolled his left ankle on cut with 1:51 left in the third quarter. Though he closed the game, he is currently listed as day-to-day.
LeBron returned to wearing the LeBron 11 on Sunday night, nearly three weeks after last wearing the shoe on November 27 at Cleveland.

Classic Italian Bruschetta. THE perfect appetizer.bellalimento
Bruschetta is THE perfect appetizer. At least in my opinion ; ) You only need a handful of fresh ingredients and voila you have a healthy, refreshing and insanely tasty little bite. It's pronounced brew-ske-tah and it's truly a feast for all of your senses. I especially love it in the summer time when my tomatoes are sweet and my basil is plentiful. Fresh ingredients are the key to this appetizer. For the recipe pop on over to my food blog for my BRUSCHETTA RECIPE.

A group that represents southeastern Colorado counties has informally endorsed a two billion dollar proposal to fund water projects in the area.
A subcommittee of the group Action 22, has tentatively backed Referendum A, which will be on the statewide ballot in November. The tally, however, wasn't formal since not all the committe members voted.
Action 22's full board will vote next month on whether to endorse the referendum. The group represents 22 counties in southeastern Colorado.
A similar group in western Colorado is not taking a position on the proposal but has questioned whom it will benefit. Club 20 represents government and business interests in western Colorado.

Achieving a Healthy Net
Keep up with the times and reinvent your practice to boost your net income.
By Richard S. Kattouf, O.D.
Q I'm an independent optometrist working 65 hours each week at one location and grossing $1,300,000. I'm ashamed to admit that my net income is $200,000. I only employ one associate doctor three days each week, so I work hard. It seems as though I should be reaping more income for the risk and energy factors I've put into building this practice.
Dr. J.A. Hughes, via e-mail
A: Dr. Hughes, you deserve congratulations for developing such a large gross income. Your work ethic is beyond great! However, you're netting just shy of 16% of your gross income. If you don't start changing your professional behavioral patterns, one of two things will occur:
1. Professional burnout, leading to a lack of interest in your practice. (This results in huge organizational, morale and financial issues.)
2. Health problems. Many professionals/business owners who continuously work excessive hours develop medical problems (because of stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, lack of sleep, family problems stemming from lack of time and/or absence of a social life).
Optometrists can achieve a 38% net to gross with proper organizational management and mode of practice. This goal is difficult to achieve in a managed care market, but it is achievable.
Evaluating practice facts
From the information you shared, it's obvious that your practice is concentrating on general optometry with a high volume of fixed-fee insurance patients. Doctors and staff in your organization aren't working as a team to increase unit sale per patient. It appears that your practice is working on a high-volume, low unit sale, low net basis.
To solve your dilemma, let's evaluate the following checklist:
Embezzlement. Are any employees stealing money, product or time? All businesses face this potential problem. If you haven't determined whether this is a possibility, you must address it before continuing on with our list. Accountants don't know our profession well enough to detect this type of employee. Hire a professional consultant who can guide you in detecting and preventing embezzlement.
Evaluate your cost of doing business. Percent of salaries to gross should range between 18% and 20% (for non-optometric salaries). Cost of goods shouldn't exceed 29%. If these ratios aren't in line, you need professional a consultant to assist you.
Net income is low when you deal exclusively with general optometry. You need to concentrate on high net procedures such as the following:
Medical optometry. Charging medical fees at the level of M.D.s and coding properly is a great service to your patients and significantly raises net income.
Specializing your practice. Corneal reshaping, orthoptics and developmental vision are just a few examples of services that garner a high net. Fee for service!
Stay with the flow
Many independent optometrists operate their practices as though it's commercial optometry. The result is loads of work and low net income. Over the years, I've consulted with hundreds of offices that had similar problems.
Dr. Hughes, when you pay attention and implement such services as I listed above, your net income will rise to $494,000 (an increase of $294,000 in profit). Accomplish this by reducing your weekly work hours to 40 rather than 65, which you can do because of increasing unit sale, maximizing major medical reimbursements and specialization of the practice.
The markets (both professional and consumer) have all changed drastically. You must change with the market!

After over 10 years of standing the test of time, the Hammerhead watch is now joined by the Hammerhead Chrono XL, which offers a new twist on the watch. Boasting the same Hammerhead dive standard, materials and 660' (200 meters) waterproof case, the Hammerhead Chrono XL departs from typical dive case markings to arrive at a more sport driven look. Like a black fin popping up at a crowded beach, the Hammerhead Chrono XL will let them know you've arrived and that your intentions are serious.
The Chron XL has a 1.97" (50 mm) stainless steel case with a screw down crown. The one direction rotating bezel is designed to be used for bottom time, but it can also be a useful reminder for everyday timing like remembering elapsed time on a parking meter or when to flip the steaks on the barbecue. The watch has a total of 7 hand movement with chronograph. The main quartz analog 3 hand movement with date and luminous hands and markers makes reading the watch easy in low light conditions. Watch is equipped with a durable polyurethane strap with a stainless steel buckle, comes with a comprehensive owner's manual.
This product has a limited lifetime warranty.
