Brooms Back For Second Sweeping?
For the second time in a week, we're looking to get out the brooms. And for the second time in a week, we're looking to win our fifth in a row.
Luke Hochevar started this nice little run (9-1 in last 10 games) when he squared off against Randy Johnson in Arizona on June 14. Hochevar toes the rubber tonight, looking to keep the Royals winning ways going. To see how we got here, let's go around the horn…
The offense is on a tear lately, but we've talked about that plenty in this space, although we'll never get tired of it. One thing we also can never talk about enough – and Dayton Moore would agree with this – is great pitching.
Zack Greinke wasn't nice to the Rockies last night. He tied a career high when he whiffed 10 and walked none. That's what happens when he's on. He throws strikes and makes the hitters work to get on base. Greinke threw 99 pitches last night. Only 29 were balls. Greinke succeeded and he picked up his seventh win of the season because of it. True, his teammates gave him five runs while he was in the game and added another two for insurance. But Greinke made sure they wouldn't need to do too much, picking up his 12th "quality start" of the season. Gil Meche is the only other Royals starter to punch out 10 in a game this season, which was on June 15 in Arizona and was game two of the Royals current 9-1 run. Greinke is the only Royals' starter to do it last season. In fact, since 2003, the Royals have just five games in which a starter struck out 10 since 2003. Greinke's got two.
What's maybe more interesting, is that Greinke did it in six innings, as 10 of his 18 outs recorded were punchies. Meche went seven during his 10 K day and Greinke went eight last year when he hit double-digits.
Greinke has 84 K's this season in 106 innings with only 33 walks. Last night he earned his seventh win, which ties his 2007 totals and is one shy of his career high from 2004, his rookie season. His career high for strikeouts is 114 in 2005.
While strikeouts don't guarantee wins, they sure help. They can kill rallies and give a boost to the crowd at the same time. Greinke's seven wins put him in a tie with Brian Bannister for the team lead. Bannister is a different kind of pitcher, a guy who pitches to contact, so his K numbers aren't as high as Greinke. But for No. 23, lots of strikeout numbers has transferred to a good deal of wins this season.
Speaking of pitching, the team has an ERA of 3.08 over the last ten games and is averaging 7.2 strikeouts per nine innings, including last night's new season high 14 K's as a staff. Despite the overall good pitching, Dayton Moore has shown he is not going to leave well enough alone and be content with good pitching. Since Sunday, the Royals have called up Joel Peralta, purchased the contract of Horacio Ramirez and claimed Robinson Tejeda from the Rangers.
Tejeda (Tuh-HAY-duh), will be in uniform tonight, wearing No. 51. The new Royals pitcher is a 6-3, 230 pound right-hander with a cannon for an arm and Major League experience with the Phillies and Rangers. Trey Hillman calls him simply "a power arm." He has previous starting experience in the Majors and had four relief appearances with the Rangers earlier this season.
Yasuhiko Yabuta was optioned as the corresponding roster move. Yabuta will report to Omaha. Hillman said he just needs to work on getting back to where he was a month ago when he had 10 appearances in which he only allowed one run over 9.2 innings for a 0.93 ERA. Opposing hitters were batting just .176 against him during that period.
Lefty Ron Mahay, an unsung hero this year in the 'pen, has not allowed a run in his last eight appearances, totaling 9.1 scoreless innings…Mike Aviles, David DeJesus and Ross Gload all have hitting streaks of four games or more with DeJesus reaching double digits last night with 10 straight…Aviles has also recorded at least one RBI in five straight…With their 11th win of the season over a National League team yesterday, the Royals secured their best interleague record in team history…The only game the Royals have lost over their last 10 was last Friday, which also happens to be the only game they haven't homered in during their last 10…Note from Trey Hillman's pre-game press conference: Yasuhiko Yabuta, who was optioned today, has no timetable on when he may return. The Royals don't set timetables on recalls…The Kansas City Star's Bob Dutton, as president of the BBWAA, has been named one of the official scorers for the 2008 All-Star game at Yankee Stadium. Congrats to Bob!
This weekend is a big one. It's Cardinals week 2.0. The festivities here at the K really get started with the sold out Diamond of Dreams charity extravaganza tomorrow and then the Redbirds come to town Friday. Silverstein Eye Centers, sponsor of the "Eye-70" series (get it?), will be giving out a Rally Racket on Saturday, which is also the day Art Stewart will be inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame. Sunday children can pick up free admission to the new Coco Key Water Park just across I-70 from the ballpark in the Sheraton.
Tickets are going fast for the "Eye"-70 Series. The Royals are hot and the Cardinals always draw well, so get 'em now so you don't miss out.

so i created a /tmp/lic.txt and added there "nix" and gave this file to the installer.
while applying the configuration to the zimbra i got in zmsetup.log the TrialExpire could not got out from the licensefile.
But afterwards the server was up and running.
had anybody already a similar behaviour?

No, it's not blooms—but it was just as pretty. Perkins County residents awoke Tuesday to a winter wonderland. Everything had a thick coat of frost, creating a beautiful landscape. Tuesday's forecast was sunny with a high of 49, so the crystals started falling from trees, bushes, fence rows and clotheslines soon after daylight. (Photo by Jan Rahn)

Hey all:
Here is the final version of "Somalia: Interventions", a map for a lite-wargame that will be published by Peter Schutze of Schutze Games. I used Photoshop but some of you may recognize the towns and the palm trees from CC3. I still cant figure out how the heck to use it, but I did manage to pull most of the images out of it, so it hasnt been a total waste of money!
I like how this turned out. This map really came together nicely, unlike sometimes where it feels like you're fighting an uphill battle with fate, and every other graphic decision you make turns into a disaster. Its not just me that happens to, is it?
Anyways, there is a WIP thread down under "Board Game Mapping". Feel free to leave any comments here or there. And thanks for looking!

Converting To EFI With FAST EZ-EFIWritten by on July 22, 2011 Dyno Numbers Included
When you think of hot rodding, old carburetors, and high horsepower you don't necessarily think of great gas mileage or, for that matter, easy starting on those cold mornings. Now, when you think of aftermarket fuel injection most of us picture complicated wiring diagrams and countless hours of programming with a laptop. Well, with Fuel Air Spark Technology's (FAST) EZ-EFI fuel injection kit they took the guesswork out of the otherwise electrical engineer's job and put it into a complete plug-and-play package. The kit comes complete with everything you need to convert your motor from carburetion to fuel injection in a few hours, depending on your skill level. The only thing the kit does not include is a way to hook up the fuel return line to your gas tank, but we'll show you a few options on how to do that.
So why would you want to spend the extra coin to remove your carb when it works just fine? Well, for starters let's look at starting and driveability. Have you ever tried to start your truck on a cold morning and it just seemed to not want to? Or worse yet, have you driven to a significantly higher or lower elevation and now your carb jetting is too lean or rich causing poor driveability? So, how does the FAST EZ-EFI fix this?
Well, there are sensors that fine-tune the vehicle's fuel delivery to enrich or lean out the fuel mixture ever so slightly. The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor's main job is to detect and measure the engine's load. The throttle position sensor (TPS) tells the ECU when the throttle is opened or closed and also takes the place of a carburetor's accelerator pump. The intake air temp (IAT) sensor helps the ECU determine the air density and helps to adjust the amount of fuel that is given to the motor. If the air density becomes less dense then the ECU will decrease the amount of fuel, otherwise the engine would run rich and eat up gas. The O2 sensor's job is to help fine-tune the fuel trim by measuring the amount of oxygen exiting the exhaust. If the O2 sensor reads a lean condition (15:1 or greater air/fuel ratio) then it can add a slightly longer pulse width to the injector to add a small amount of fuel to richen the mixture up. A rich condition (12:1 or less) can be fixed too, the O2 sensor will read the lack of oxygen in the exhaust and tell the ECU to decrease the amount of fuel by shortening the fuel injector's pulse width. The rpm signal is picked up off your coil, aftermarket ignition box, etc., and helps the ECU determine the amount of fuel by calculating all the sensors' data together, extremely fast.
So, why should I care about fuel control when my carbureted motor is running just fine? Well, without getting into a heated discussion about carbs versus EFI, let me ask you this: Do you know what fuel mixture your vehicle is running? Without an O2 sensor in the exhaust, or dyno time, you could be running your motor really rich, or worse, dangerously lean. Chances are that your carbed motor is running rich. While a little rich is not all a bad thing, too much fuel in the mixture can cause pre-detonation, poor mileage, fuel in the oil, black smoke, bad smells, carbon deposits, fouled plugs, and fuel-washing the cylinder walls, causing lubrication problems. Although the previous examples are the extremes of running an engine way too rich, the majority of us are just looking for a few more miles per gallon.
On the way into work I was thinking about gas prices here in California, which average about $4.20 a gallon, with premium about 20 cents higher. Let's just say the average classic truck guy drives 5,000 miles per year with premium gas at $4.40 a gallon and gets an average of 12 miles per gallon while running a carb that is way too rich. This means that the fuel cost is $1,833 per year. Now, if you pick up just a few mpg, say from 12 to 16 you can cut that fuel cost down to $1,375 per year. Now, I can't say what your fuel mileage can or can't be because there are just way too many factors that come into play, like how heavy your right foot is or the condition of your motor, but more than likely you should be able to pick up some mpg savings at the pump.
One of the cool things we are able to show with this swap is that during a single day my 383 motor ("Junkyard Heap," Jul. & Aug. '11) was first dynoed with a tuned 750-cfm carb and then dynoed again after the EZ-EFI was swapped on. The motor with the carb did very well, with an output of 454.6 hp and 481 lb-ft of torque. We ran the motor on Westech Performance's Super Flow dyno, which has the ability to change the coolant temp using the giant water tank just outside the dyno room. For the motor with the carb we ran at 130 degrees, but when we swapped to the EZ-EFI the ECU didn't want to go into closed loop until 170 degrees. This meant that the system didn't want to fine-tune until then. With the increased coolant temp we expected to lose a lot of power, but after the EZ-EFI went through the tuning process we only dropped 5 hp and 5 lb-ft. My personal opinion is that we could have improved the overall dyno numbers by running the motor in different parameters to help the computer learn different fuel calibrations that could have made numbers better than what we achieved with the carb. Driving the FAST EZ-EFI in more than one condition will enable the system to continuously learn and fine-tune itself for optimal performance. I was highly impressed with the dyno numbers and can't wait to see what this system does once the engine is installed in the truck. CT

Since I already had my 383 on the dyno at Westech Performance in Mira Loma, CA, swapping the carb for fuel injection would allow us to measure and compare the dyno numbers back-to-back. Installing the EZ-EFI throttle body is as easy as removing your old carb and bolting down the new throttle body. The intake manifold needs to be a 4150-style to match the bolt pattern on the EZ-EFI throttle body.After we bolted on the throttle body, Ernie simply screwed on the throttle cable. Ernie then positioned the cable so that there was a little bit of slack, and not pulling the throttle body's butterfly open.Included with the EZ-EFI kit is a coolant temp sensor that needs to be installed, typically in the intake manifold. This helps the ECU determine how much fuel to add or remove, depending on engine temp.The kit's O2 sensor bung needs to be welded in, and make sure you don't leave any gaps for air to sneak into the exhaust system. Make sure that you are at least 20 inches away from the head, otherwise the O2 sensor may suffer damage. It's also a good idea at this time to check all your exhaust gaskets for leaks because it could cause the O2 sensor to read a false lean condition, and add unneeded fuel.Ernie pulled the simple wiring harness out and gathered the wires that needed to be hooked up to the battery and the ignition12V power supply. Red wire goes to battery positive, Black to ground, and Pink to Ignition 12V.You may or may not need to use the rpm module, depending on your ignition system, but FAST includes it for your convenience. The provided module is used for a distributor and coil-type setup but you can use an HEI or MSD ignition-style box in place of the rpm module. Make sure you read the instructions when you get ready to install your rpm signal because there are several ways to wire the signal. You could cause damage to your ECU if you don't wire the rpm signal correctly.The ECU can be mounted inside or outside the engine bay but FAST recommends you keep it away from direct heat sources, such as next to the headers. I will most likely mount my ECU on one of the inner fenderwells or the firewall.Route the wiring harness so that the injector wires are in order. The throttle body driver-side rear is the #3 injector and just to its left is the #4 injector. The driver-side front is the #1 injector and the #2 injector is the passenger-side front. Once all the injectors are plugged in the rest of the wiring harness can be plugged in with ease.Since we were on the dyno at Westech, the fuel system was already plumbed, but you will need to mount the fuel pressure regulator where it makes sense on your firewall. After the fuel lines are plumbed you'll need to check for leaks and set the fuel pressure regulator to 43 psi. This baseline fuel pressure setting will work for motors with outputs of up to 550 hp.
I headed to No Limit Engineering in San Bernardino, CA, to check out their custom gas tanks with return lines, and also to came back with several tips on how to run the return lines with stock gas tanks. Mike Sullivan showed me where and why they like to mount the fuel pump close to the fuel tank because the fuel pump can push the fuel a lot easier than it can pull it from the tank.After measuring the length of fuel pressure line we needed, Mike uses the old trick of sticking the fuel fitting into the freezer and soaking the pressure line in warm water before pushing the pressure line into place. In my opinion this was the hardest part of the whole installation and it was not all that bad.Mike used some AN fittings to attach the fuel lines to the aftermarket tank. Notice that the fuel pressure line and the return line all go into the top of the tank. Easy, right?Rob McGregor and Michael Mobley fabricated this fuel return line adapter to clamp onto the stock tank's fill hose. All that needs to be done now is to cut a small 4-inch piece of the stock tank's fill hose and clamp the fabricated piece back onto the top of the tank. Then take the fuel return line and clamp it to the tube that will allow fuel back into the tank.After the fuel lines and electrical connections are all complete and the ECU is plugged into the system you will need to program the ECU with simple-to-follow questions from the hand-held programmer. Easy as pie.

Greyhawk Grognard Joe Bloch is doing this really cool old school Castle Greyhawk-esque mega dungeon called The Castle of the Mad Archmage.
I decided to try mapping this out in classic retro old school module blue and white using the December 2007 Cartographer's Annual. Here are the first two maps (the northeast and southeast sections of level two). I hope to have the last two map sections (northwest and southwest) completed by Sunday. I intend to paste all four maps together for a single "giant poster" PNG when I'm done as well.

Yellowstone is the world's oldest national park and one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Wolves were well established here when the park was created back in 1872. But people have since been at odds with them over agriculture and hunting, and almost eliminated them from the park. It was only in the 1990s that efforts to bring the wolf back to Yellowstone began.
Now, after a 70 year absence, the wolf has returned to the park thanks to a successful reintroduction programme. This film shows the impact that this has had on the park's biodiversity and explains how the reintroduction of wolves became part of a large-scale conservation effort for the area.

i had the bt45s on my 06 bonneville. rear went 10k miles, front was still decent.
This will save me a good bit of cash!
What did you think of them in the wet? I end up riding the rain a lot. The AM26s are ok in the wet but not great.Overall the AM26s are pretty good but they've never been confidence inspiring at high lean angles. They stick but maybe the feedback just isn't that great, feels a little weird. Also, it's very easy to lock the rear. That's probably also a function of the rear drum brake. It's adequate but the feel on it is pretty wooden. I try to use the front for most of the braking while just touching the rear, more to keep the bike composed than to provide stopping force.Scott

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- For 150 years, the Willard Intercontinental Hotel has been the place to stay during a presidential inauguration. But it's not just its location on the parade route that makes it so legendary, it's the hotel's history of VIP guests on Inauguration Eve.
President Lincoln stayed there the night before his first inauguration, while other guests were packed in - sometimes ten to a room - to guarantee a front row seat to the Inaugural parade. Today, the Willard is far less crowded thanks to a major renovation. But its location still can't be beat on Inauguration Day.
"I have a front row seat," says Steve Blum, the Willard's Bell Captain.
This will be Steve Blum's seventh inauguration, and every four years his biggest challenge is getting the VIPs in and out on time.
"Sometimes they try to get here at the very last minute, at the same time they're bringing in the cement barriers to close off all the streets," said Blum. "I've been out front trying to bribe the fork lift operator, 'Give me five more minutes."
Bartender Jim Hewes has been working at the Willard's Round Robin Bar for 27 years, but his job might be the reason many of those VIPs are late. Before any inauguration, Hewes is in charge of concocting a collection of drinks designed to honor the incoming Commander in Chief.
"One of our featured cocktails this year is the Blue Hawaiian, to honor President Obama's Hawaiian heritage," said Hewes. "People really want to taste that excitement and the energy that's in the air. It's amazing when you bring that many people together for a common cause."
You can still get a room at the Willard for this year's Inauguration, but it will cost you. There's a four-night minimum, which amounts to about $4,600 for the weekend.

This borders on a "knitpick" IMO but for the sake of clarity and truth in advertising, I think it deserves to be addressed. I frequently read phrases like "perfectly flat bottoms" and ""absolutely perfect" in regards to grooves and dados cut from stacked dado sets. No doubt, some are better than others, and the very best are really, really good, but nearly all the stacked dado sets I know of use beveled teeth on the outside cutters to help minimize tearout (Freud, Forrest, Infinity, Ridge Carbide, Systimatic, Oshlun, CMT, Amana, etc). In order to be of any benefit, the beveled teeth must protrude slightly above the flat teeth of the inside chippers. The protruding beveled teeth leave tiny grooves at the outside of the cut…a trait often called "bat ears". The better sets tend to stagger some flat teeth in between the beveled teeth to minimize the depth of the bat ears, but they're there. It's minor enough that a lot of people don't even realize it, but it's not realistic when manufacturers or owners claim that these sets leave truly flat bottoms, when indeed they don't. It's likely that there are sets that don't have any beveled teeth on the outside cutters and use all flat top ground teeth, which will leave a flat bottom, but those sets will also tend to exhibit more tearout in cross grain cuts than the better sets that use beveled teeth. The other option for truly flat bottoms is from a router bit, but there are other drawbacks to that method as well… there's never a free lunch!
There's really not a deep hidden meaning or major point to this article, but just wanted to point out the reality of the results that most of us get from even our premium stacked dado sets.
This graphic from "Woodhelp" illustrates the "bat ears" effect and the cause:
Here's another pic from Forrest's website that shows the correct orientation of the cutters…it also shows the bat ears left by the beveled teeth:
Here's another gross example from a cheap Harbor Freight dado set...ignoring the poor linearity across the bottom, you can clearly see the large bat ears in each corner.
I use a wobble blade and it gives me flatter and trues dado than the stacked set I have and is much easier to set to plywood sizes.
Two words will cure these dados, even from the HF set:
Router Plane
And instead of worrying about cutting an exact width to match plywood or any other material (which will have some variation in thickness) try a housed dado instead.
Actually it all the above mentioned problems can be solved with one word: ROUTER!
I have to ask - other than truth in advertising, is there any reason to need perfectly flat dadoes? I cannot think of any time I've left them exposed - certainly not with plywood - are they that common in other situations? I'm not trying to be argumentative - I am really asking what situations leave them exposed?
I don't typically leave an entire exposed dado open (except on the outfeed table of my table saw!), but there have been times when the end profile of the dado is visible even with a filler piece installed.
None of the decent dado sets I've used would be a problem, but I can envision some of the really cheap sets being problematic.

DENVER (Reuters) – Seven people were confirmed dead from flooding triggered by a week of torrential downpours along the eastern slopes of the Rockies in Colorado, the Boulder County Office of Emergency Management said on Monday.
County office spokeswoman Liz Donaghey said the latest tally came from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but a breakdown of the seven deaths was not immediately available.
Separately, two women, aged 60 and 80, remained missing and presumed dead after their homes were washed away by flash flooding in the Big Thompson Canyon area, Larimer County sheriff's spokeswoman Jennifer Hillman said.
Authorities in Larimer County, in north-central Colorado, were still not counting those two women as confirmed fatalities because their bodies had yet to be recovered, Hillman said.
Nearly 400 other people remain unaccounted for in Larimer County, with many believed to be still stranded in remote areas cut off by floodwaters and left without telephone, cell phone or Internet service, she said.
Larimer County was among the areas hardest hit by floods first unleashed last Wednesday night by sustained heavy rains that have drenched Colorado's biggest urban centers along a 130-mile stretch in the Front Range of the Rockies.
An estimated 1,500 homes have been destroyed and 4,500 more damaged in Larimer County alone, Hillman said. In addition, 200 businesses have been lost and 500 damaged, she said, citing preliminary assessments by the county.
Foothill communities in the adjacent counties of Larimer and Boulder, northwest of Denver, bore the brunt of the disaster as floodwaters streamed down rain-soaked mountainsides and spilled through canyons funneling the runoff into populated areas below.
The flooding progressed downstream and spread onto the prairie over the weekend, much of it spilling over the banks of the South Platte River and inundating farmland as high water rolled eastward in the direction of Nebraska.
Overall, the flood zone encompassed an area nearly the size of Delaware.
As the weather began to clear Sunday night and Monday, rescue workers fanned out across flood-hit portions of Colorado.
"They'll take advantage of the weather today and help out everyone they can," said Micki Trost, a spokeswoman for the state Office of Emergency Management. "We hope that those weather forecasts stay in our favor."
A light drizzle and patchy fog continued to hamper helicopter rescue missions early on Monday, according to Byron Louis of the National Weather Service office in Boulder.
The air rescue operations were the largest in the United States since flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, National Guard officials said.
Louis said some areas had been soaked by as much as 16 inches of rain in just three days, the average for an entire year.
President Barack Obama declared the area a major disaster over the weekend, freeing up federal funds and resources to aid state and local governments.
U.S. Army and National Guard troops have rescued 1,750 people cut off by washed-out roads in the mountain canyons of Boulder and Larimer counties, Army spokesman Major Earl Brown said in a statement.
State officials would be unable to assess the overall damage until rescue efforts were complete and the floodwaters receded, Trost said.

National Alliance on Mental Illness

(800) 950-NAMI; email@example.com
Racing to raise awareness
By Joni Agronin, NAMI Communications Intern
Everyone who is touched by metal illness has a different method of healing. For Terri Grauel and her son, Shawn, living a physically healthy lifestyle has led to better mental health quality.
Terri's father, George, battled mental illness for most of his life. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his early 30s but often refused to take medication because he preferred to be in his manic states. Eventually, George spiraled out of control spending time on the streets and in jail.
In 1998, George was approached by an organization called Green Door in Washington, D.C. The community based mental health center offers services and resources to individuals with mental illness to live in a supportive environment so that they can reestablish independence and healthy lifestyles. Once he became a member of the Green Door organization, George was able to live happily in the community for 12 years without hospitalization until his death in 2009.
After seeing the incredible, positive impact the Green Door community made on her father, Terri has made it her mission to raise awareness and funding for organizations that help those in need. Without the necessary funding, many programs similar to Green Door are at risk of being shut down.
In June, Terri and her son, Shawn participated in the Aquaphor New York City Triathlon. Training helps Terri to maintain her physical and mental health and she uses her races to honor her father and make people aware of the importance of mental health issues. Terri and Shawn created a racing team called "Be Aware" with all of their collected donations benefiting NAMI, Fountain House, Green Door, International Center for Clubhouse Development and Services for the Underserved.
"I race for very powerful reasons," Terri said. "I know in my heart that the best way to help people living with mental illness is to shower everyone with love and compassion, share our family's experience, dispel stigma, and raise awareness and money to support the organizations that help us."

Ok, I didn't pay attention to the last time this was discussed and now I need some recomendations.
What's the best bang for the buck on laptops out there?
Uses: internet, email, excel & word - would probably take care of 99% of its use.
No need for quality sound cards or ultra fast gaming display.
I went looking at Best Buy last night and realized the world has flown by and I hardly speak the language anymore (sad for an engineer huh?) Cameras are damn cheap though - walked out with one.
What are minimums for speed and memory? Are the certain brands to stay clear of? Where are the price breaks for quality? Also software and virus protection ... where to get Office for the least cost and is Norten still the way to go? Is Best buy really the best buy?
I've heard more horror stories than I have good ones about buying a PC/laptop from Best Buy. I go there to look at stuff and then find it online for cheaper. Saved $100 just by buying speakers online. Funny thing is, bought 'em from Best Buy online and picked 'em up at the store they were listed for $100 more.
I've read great reviews on the DELL laptops though. Seems Gateway is starting to improve their service/quality from what I've heard.
We have a Sony laptop, it's a beast in performance and size. Next time I'll probably go with a DELL because theirs are more sleek and just as good - if not better performance.

Can't go wrong with a DELL. Order direct, Best Buy blows for many reasons I won't go into, and I won't give them my money.
I have a DELL for personal use and several from work. They are solid and well priced.
</Dell commercial>
Aim for 1 gig of ram - that is starting to become the standard now. I really can't comment too much on processor speed. I have a 1.86GHz with 2 gig of ram here at work and it flies. Can't recall the exact specs of the laptop right now.
I bought a Dell laptop this spring. Works perfect. Our company then ended up giving us all IBM laptops and they are junk. I hate it. Probably why it sits in the work truck while this one gets used.
Order online is easy and you can modify anything you want. Plus speedy delivery and great customer service.
Bellzisu is aka Chris Bellcock. Just so I'm not anonymous anymore.
I would avoid HP and Sony laptops. HP Laptops aren't durable. My experience with Sony's Warranty program leaves a lot to be desired.
I use Dell computers for my office and they are durable and reliable. My only hesitation with buying a new laptop these days is Windows Vista.

Ditto that, also had a frustration with it on my laptop.

One of my Dell's a few years ago got damaged due to being dropped. I called in and it was under warranty still. They sent a guy out 2 days later who replaced the motherboard and the thing has been good since. No charge. He came to my office and worked on it right there, done in 15 mins.
I hear these are stellar. =)
One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a $100 laptop for the world's children's education
Id go with dell.
Same here. Love Dell. Usually you can get decent financing as well. And they have a good selection in the refurb shop, with full warranty.
Check our cheapstingybargains.com. They have a whole section devoted to the latest deals and coupons from Dell. Can save you hundreds.
Dude, you're getting a dell!

Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
You are going to certainly get divergent opinions. I have a Dell laptop which I can't stand (but their warranty replacement is decent). I used to have an IBM which was great. If you're using it for office/email/internet, it doesn't really matter what you get.. nowadays just get a dual core and gig of memory if that is all you're doing. Norton is still a big player in the AV market.
I also have a Dell and like it. I recommend a business model as well, because they seem to be higher quality and don't come with a buttload of crappy software you don't want. If you are a student or know one, most of the schools partner with Dell for fairly significant savings if you buy one of the packages.
My wife got a Sony from Best Buy a bit over 2 years ago. I think it has been in for service for about 5 months of that time. Apparently the old S series had issues with heat. I was not especially impressed with Best Buy's service either.
I know the vet school also had a deal with Gateway for their convertible notebooks, and they turned out to be total crap. I haven't heard anything good about Gateway in a while. I think they may have actually been purchased by Acer.
As far as virus scan, I have been using Bitdefender for a bit over a year now and have liked it. It's cheaper than Norton or McAfee and usually does just as well on independent tests. Kasparov seems to be consistently the best if you are willing to pay for it.
Do you mean Kaspersky? If you do, i have to say its horrible. We purchased it for our company which I was against and now people are regretting it. Lockups and unwanted blocking is going on constantly. I actually love the corp editon of Symantec. Its more expensive but its easy to use, configure, and roll out.
Here is what I would do.
Wait until Dell has a sale on their laptops whether it be their business or home site. I got one for $450 last year. Any of their new ones should have enough ram (1gb minimum) and a decent size hard drive. The only thing I wish I would have upgraded was the battery.
Once you get the laptop do the following.

Bodine and Germain Racing's No. 30 Germain.com Tundra Crew Look Forward to Rematch with Kentucky Track
Posted by: lori on Sep 01, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing , GEICO Racing , GEICO
- Bodine Leads the Truck Series Championship Battle by a 236-point margin ermain Racing has 21 Truck Series Victories and Eight Pole Awards
ermain Racing has 21 Truck Series Victories and Eight Pole Awards
August 30, 2010 (Mooresville, N.C.) - Germain Racing and Todd Bodine are in rare form. After 17 races in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season, Bodine and the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra have collected two pole awards, three victories, 12 top-five, 14 top-ten finishes and lead the championship standings by a record-setting 236 points. With any luck, there will be more of the same when the team rolls into Kentucky Speedway for Friday's Kentucky 225.
"We had a real good truck last year at Kentucky Speedway so we're going back with a lot of expectations. We were leading last year and the rear end gear burned up. This Germain Racing team, our game is real good right now. We definitely feel like we can go back to Kentucky and get our Germain.com Tundra out front again," said Bodine.
The counter play of good trucks and rotten luck for the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra team at Kentucky is part of the reason why no other driver in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series has passed more race trucks under the green flag at Kentucky than Todd Bodine. NASCAR's Loop Data Statistics credit this season's points leader with 189 green flag passes at Kentucky Speedway. Bodine leads the green flag passing category overall and on the backstretch.
"All that proves is that when we've gotten into trouble at Kentucky, we've always had a Toyota Tundra that was capable of coming back through the field. The truck has always handled well at Kentucky and that's where it shows up," explained Bodine, who has a win at Kentucky in the Nationwide Series and has led 53 laps in the home state of team sponsor, Valvoline, in the Truck Series.
Mark Hillman, Rob Hunley, Chris Petit, Tom Ackerman, Mike Leitner, Justin Gardner, "PJ" Briody, Mark Kincaid, Darrell Bechy, Tony Nicholson and crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. make up the core of the crew that travels with the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra. It's the hard work of faces like these, teamed with the guys back at Germain Racing that make it possible for the No. 30 team to race their best race truck in Kentucky.
"We get to take our best race truck to Kentucky Speedway because we have some of the best guys in the world working for Germain Racing. We raced on Friday night in Chicago and our truck had damage. On Saturday afternoon, we had TRD-131 torn down and in the fab shop for repairs. By Monday morning it was out of the body shop and we were putting decals back onto the truck. This teamwork is what makes it possible for us to bring our best truck to Kentucky, but it's also the backbone of our ability to turn in consistent performances at the race track," said Hillman Jr., crew chief for Bodine and the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra for all five of the full-time seasons.
Chassis TRD-131 has raced eight times this season, scored two wins and finished no worse than fifth. Watch Bodine drive this Germain.com Tundra chassis on Friday, September 3rd at Kentucky Speedway. Qualifying will be on SPEED at 6:00 PM ET, with race coverage starting at 7:30 PM. Follow Germain Racing on Twitter @GermainRacing or on the web at Germainracing.com or become a Facebook fan.
When shopping for your new or used car or truck, head directly to Germain.com to find the perfect vehicle or visit your local Germain dealer in Ohio, Florida, or Arkansas. Germain.com is part of Germain Motor Company, a top-25 automotive retail network with 21 dealerships and more than 60 years of experience.

When I'm looking for a good burger — one that's the best in town, in my opinion — and a cold beer for a decent price while watching the game, I usually find myself gravitating toward The Hideaway Bar at 516 Virginia Drive in Orlando. The Miami Dolphins-themed bar now provides another reason to stop by — they just went full liquor last week. Hopefully their liquor prices will be as good as the rest of their prices. If you're planning on watching the Super Bowl there this Sunday, there will be specials, the bartender tells me, on Rum Runners and 7&7s, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Winter is prime time for attracting birds. Beckoning birds to your backyard in winter can be easier than any other season if you provide what they need to weather and survive the coldest months.
Scarcity of natural available food, cold temperatures and severe storms push bird mortality high all winter long. You can help birds meet their nutritional needs during wintertime, and will surely be rewarded with a diverse, frequent flock of feathered friends.
There's lots of bird feed to choose from, and much of it is produced as a sideline business that can contain low quality fill that birds just won't eat. Some bird feed has even been identified as containing toxins known to be harmful to wildlife. Responsible research on your bird feed choices will provide birds with the food they require and protect them from toxic chemicals.
Birding expert Elaine Cole offers some timely tips to ensure birds in your backyard this winter season:
Feeding birds is by far the simplest way to attract them. Adding the best winter bird food choices to your feeders when the temperatures drop will give birds the extra energy they need to survive even the worst weather. Foods high in oil and fat are the most popular winter picks.
• Black oil sunflower seeds - Seeds have slightly thinner shells and a higher oil content than other types of sunflower seeds, making them a more efficient and nutritious food. Offer them in platform, tube or hopper feeders to attract a wide range of hungry birds.
• Suet - For maximum calories, suet is an optimum winter food choice.
• Peanuts - From jays and titmice to nuthatches and chickadees, many backyard birds love this high-calorie, fat-rich nut. Because peanuts don't freeze, they're perfect for winter feeding.
• Niger - Also known as thistle seed, this is a favorite food for winter finches such as pine siskins, redpolls, and goldfinches. Another oily seed that offers lots of calories, niger helps birds store fat they need to keep warm.
• Fruit - Many songbirds that favor fruit migrate in winter, but many other birds that stay in snowy areas year-round will also enjoy the treat. Offer chopped apples, orange wedges or banana slices on platform feeders, spikes or nailed to trees. Chopped or dried fruit can also be added to suet mixtures.
• Seed mixes - For convenient and economical winter feeding, nothing beats a good-quality birdseed mix. While birds can probably tell a good mix just by looking at it, humans cannot. Choose a mix that features large proportions of sunflower seeds and millet, but avoid mixes with large proportions of unappetizing fillers such as wheat, milo and corn. Birds will pick out the yummy stuff and leave the filler - and a big mess - behind.
• Water - Fresh, liquid, moving water using birdbath spritzers or fountains will readily attract many backyard birds in winter. Add a heater to your water supply and you'll be surprised at the number of birds that
use it.
• Shelter - A cozy place to roost will keep your backyard birds secure and comfortable even in the worst weather. Bird roost boxes and other shelters are essential to protect small birds from frigid, dropping temperatures. Offer birds a source of winter nesting material to use as insulation.
• Serve safely - Just as backyard birds may be more desperate during the lean times of winter, so are predators such as cats and hawks. Position bird feeders in a safe place to protect them, and pay attention to prints in the snow to learn what predators may be threatening your feeders.
Start preparing your yard for winter now so birds will learn it's a safe place long before they're in desperate need. By providing for birds' basic needs as cold weather approaches, it can be easy to attract birds to your yard in winter. You'll enjoy their company even when the weather is at its worst.

ok one thing i dont see is BABY WIPES. a must have
ok one thing i dont see is BABY WIPES. a must have
Definitely however I use the scent prevention field wipes. that are the same thing without the flowery smell.
One thing I didn't see on the list is a SPOT a must have;if you hunt{solo like I do 90% of the time} solo/team and it can/will save your live it did for a buddy of mine.
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!
I've been looking at the SPOT but the mixed reviews make me wonder if it's worth the cost. I know it would be worth it's weight in gold if I needed it and it worked but it's a lot of money to pay if I can't get it to work.
I also have the BL sacrifice and I'll get 4-5 days worth of supplies as well as camp in there or at least lashed to the outside.
you are correct T43 ref wipes. Last thing i will say is dont forget the Flour. always carry a small bag in my big pack for those fresh backstraps..
Whooooo!!! Knock'em out John
the Sept - Oct Eastmans bowhunting journal (just got it yesterday) has an exact list of what Guy Eastman takes on a 5 day hunt. Broken down by type, weight and what is in it. Very interesting!
My pack for a 3 day hunt without consumables (food,water) and without spotting scope/tripod is 18.5 pounds, that is with a pack that weighs 8.5 pounds. I could very easily shave another 1.5 pounds off of that. No reason to carry 45 pounds on your back into the backcountry any more.
We can help you cut your pack weight to get you farther back! Be sure to like us on Facebook to get website updates.

World's Largest Bamboo Flooring Store
At Bamboo Importers, our ability to store large amounts of inventory and buy in volume mean we can purchase truckloads, containers and even warehouses full of flooring. Buying in bulk comes with major cost advantages and it's how we're able to offer the best bamboo flooring prices you'll find anywhere on the internet (or otherwise). It's also how we became the World's Largest Bamboo Flooring Store. You'll find an astounding variety of constructions, styles, colors, widths, lengths... basically every type of bamboo floor you can imagine (even hand scraped) is showcased right here and is ready for curbside delivery right to your home. When shopping for an eco-friendly floor such as bamboo, it's imperative you know the source of the raw material. It affects the structural quality of the floor and speaks volumes of the manufacturer's standards. But more than that, it tells you that the green floor you're buying is actually green. That's why we only buy from the most reputable manufacturers that harvest their bamboo directly from FSC Certified Forests. It's no mistake that we're able to offer highest quality FSC Certified Bamboo and the lowest prices. It's due to the perfect combination of buying low, efficient e-commerce systems and maintaining a low overhead, all while operating on a lower profit margin than the other guys. We're okay with making less money by the square foot and making it up in volume. It keeps our vendors happy, it keeps our customers even happier and it keeps us very, very busy. If you have any questions or require any assistance, please call one of our bamboo flooring experts at 1-800-813-1380 or order your free flooring samples online today.

Under the Tree of Life Fall Bible Study at Franconia United Methodist Church
Tuesday, 04 December, 2012|
Franconia United Methodist Church, 6037 Franconia Rd, Alexandria, invites you to attend our free Fall Bible Study, Disciple IV, Under the Tree of Life. UNDER THE TREE OF LIFE is a thirty-four-week study prepared for graduates of BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY. The word Under in the title is meant to convey invitation, welcome, sheltering, security, and rest--home at last. The Hebrew version of what Christians call the Old Testament has three divisions: Torah (the first five books of the Bible), the Prophets, and the Writings. The Writings include all the books that are not part of the Torah or the Prophets. UNDER THE TREE OF LIFE concentrates on the writings in the Old Testament Ruth, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Lamentations, and Daniel. New Testament Scriptures include the Gospel of John; 1, 2, and 3 John; James; Jude; and Revelation. Emphasis on the Psalms as Israel's hymnbook and prayer book leads naturally to an emphasis on worship in the study. Present though the entire study is the sense of living toward completion, toward the climax of the message and the promise, extravagantly pictured in the Revelation. This 34 week class meets on Tuesdays and starts at 7 PM on Sept 18. Contact Frank Cocuzzi at 703 971-5151 or email@example.com. Our website is http://www.franconiaumc.org. We're at the corner of Beulah and Franconia, next to Franconia Elementary School, on Fairfax Connector buses 231, 232, and 310.

(USA Today) -- Just one day before its 10-year anniversary, Facebook released its Paper app, a news reader that allows readers to explore and share stories.
After downloading the app, users will see stories from major publications shared among friends, along with a set of new tools to post stories of their own.
RELATED | How Facebook changed our lives in the last 10 years
The app was designed by Mike Matas, who also created user interfaces and artwork for Apple and helped design the Nest Learning Thermostat. It features an immersive, full-screen design that is entirely different than Facebook's current mobile app.
Facebook's Paper app is the first to emerge from its Creative Labs unit, which intends to launch more apps to support the ways its social media users connect and share.
The app is available free in the App Store on iTunes. Currently it is only available in the United States and at the moment, Facebook does not have plans to release it for Android or Windows Phone.

Chris Brown is facing yet more legal action – a woman he is accused of assaulting inside a nightclub in June is suing for damages.
Deanna Gines claims she was in the V.I.P. section of Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim, California with the singer when he shoved her to the ground, causing her to fall to her knees.
After leaving the club, the 24-year-old filed a police report and admitted herself to a nearby hospital, where medical staff determined she had torn ligaments in her right knee, that could require surgery.
She filed a lawsuit on Wednesday alleging battery, assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to TMZ. She is seeking at least $25,000 from the Fine China performer, after initially claiming she only wanted him to apologize.
Brown maintains he did nothing wrong and the owner of the club has previously backed up his account of his visit to the club, insisting Gines' story is false.
This is the latest legal issue Brown has been involved with – he is currently charged with a hit-and run, after a minor car accident in May. As a result, he is facing four years in prison after his probation relating to the 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna was revoked.

Among WVU personnel news: Shaq has attacked
MORGANTOWN - By all accounts, West Virginia University's 2012 football camp has been a smooth one. Both sides of the ball have been lauded for picking up the tempo. There have been no major injuries.
And there has been serious competition for certain positions.
To borrow from OutKast, Mountaineer coaches have been shaking up the team like a Polaroid picture. And, with but 17 days left until the start of WVU's season, that picture is becoming clear.
Take, for instance, West Virginia's defensive line. If you check the media guide's depth chart, you'll see Jorge Wright listed at nose tackle, Will Clarke at the other tackle and Tyler Anderson at end.
According to line coach Erik Slaughter, though, there's been a Shaq attack.
"Up front right now we're starting Will Clarke at the end," Slaughter said on Wednesday. "We're starting Shaq Rowell at the nose. We're starting Jorge Wright at the tackle position."
It's welcome news for Mountaineer fans concerned that the lighter Wright might not hold up in the middle of stronger competition. Rowell, a senior who played tackle last year after transferring from Iowa Western Community College, is listed at 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds.
Also up front will be the position of buck linebacker. Co-defensive coordinator Keith Patterson boiled the position down to "Josh [Francis] and Tyler [Anderson]" on Thursday. In a roundabout way, so did Slaughter.
"We have four guys working [at buck] right now," said the line coach. "Tyler Anderson, Josh Francis, [Chidoziem Ezemma] and Garrett Hope, a freshman. All those guys are working there and are interchangeable. I would say Tyler and Josh are the starters right now, depending on the situation."
Slaughter called his line an "interchangeable deal," pointing to Wright's ability to move to nose and Ezemma's ability to play end in pass rush situations.
"We've just now this week started double-training guys and double-teaching them," Slaughter said. "In the last couple days there's been a learning curve."
Other news? Well, offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh has a game plan for now.
"[Quinton] Spain is the left tackle, [Josh] Jenkins is the left guard, [Joe] Madsen is the center, [Jeff] Braun is the right guard and [Pat] Eger is the right tackle right now," Bedenbaugh said.
"As for backups, that's not as clear. We've got some guys rolling in there: Tyler [Orlosky], [Adam] Pankey, Russell [Haughton-James] and Brandon Jackson. But we also can move some guys inside.
"We can move Spain to left guard, Pat [Eger] to right guard and then bump up [Curtis] Feigt and [Nick] Kindler. Those two guys are our sixth and seventh guys right now with [John] Bassler being the eighth guy. Braun also has the ability to play center.
"Hopefully, in these next few practices we'll get some guards to step up, but, right now, if we went into a game today, we'd be moving those two guys [Spain and Eger] down inside."
Note that the aforementioned Orlosky and Pankey are true freshmen.
At tailback, the picture is apparently 1080-p high-def clear.
"Right now Shawne Alston has carried the momentum he had from the Orange Bowl and during spring into fall camp," said running backs coach Robert Gillespie. "Right now, he's the lead dog.
"Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison are fighting for that No. 2 spot. They're having a heated battle right now."
Alston has certainly won Gillespie over.
"He's an all-around player right now," said the assistant coach. "He's one of the quickest-twitch guys we have. He's reliable catching the ball. We have a complete back right now."
Garrison, who began to make a mark last season then injured his knee before the Orange Bowl, seems healthy now.
"I told him today that nobody is going to talk about him having a knee brace on or being hurt anymore. He's back," Gillespie said. "He hasn't talked about it. He hasn't complained. He's taken the hits like everyone else.
"He's maybe a step off what he was, but every day he's getting better."
And, finally, rest assured that if Geno Smith goes down with an injury, WVU's quarterback will be sophomore Paul Millard.
"Paul is doing very well," said quarterbacks coach Jake Spavital. "We're putting him in a lot of tough situations. He's showing at times he can step up and be the guy next year. Then there are times when he needs to not be so greedy and get [the ball] to his check-downs, take care of the ball. But, overall, I'm very pleased how he's progressing."
Pleased enough to relax if Smith goes down?
"I'm comfortable with Paul going in there," Spavital said. "He's not afraid. He's got thick skin. Last year he threw that pick-six against UConn and then came back and slung it around the next series. He's very good at playing the next play and not letting things get to him. I'm pretty confident in Paul coming in and operating the offense at a pretty high level."
We're beginning to get the picture.

As I am gathering a report that I want to present online I have been looking for alternatives to screen dumping Excel charts. Of couse Google had a tool for this. They are providing an API for generating pie, lines and what have you charts. The neat thing is that they are dynamic. No Flash Player or screen dumping required. Google hosts the generated image and you can feed in data on the fly. This is great when presenting live data online. The image below shows a dynamic pie chart.
You can read about Google chart API here.
Google Chart API and Chart Generator Tool is a great tool to try it out.
To explore the field more Mashable made a short review of different pie charts.
