Brookline man charged for 'zapping' his neighborApril 27,2013BROOKLINE — A Brookline man was arrested for violating a no trespass order and causing harm to an abutting landowner.
According to Vermont State Police Trooper Kurt Wagenbach, Kerry Bourne, 51, attached a metal wire to his electric horse fence, ran it through the woods onto his neighbor's property, and "zapped" the abutting landowner.
The neighbor was not injured by the electrified wire that ran from Bourne's electric horse fence to within 15 feet of his neighbor's home. Bourne was charged with simple assault and trespassing and will be arraigned June 4 at criminal court in Brattleboro.MORE IN This Just InThe Shumlin administration and legislative leaders are questioning aspects of a renewable energy...

HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING is upon us — as is the extra holiday spending. Brighten up your dining-room table while keeping some cash in your wallet with a hanging light fixture from the RE Store.
This Craftsman-style fixture was originally purchased from the lighting and home-furnishings store Rejuvenation, which still sells the piece for more than $1,000. In the midst of a remodel, some Queen Anne homeowners brought theirs to the RE Store because it no longer fit with their décor. The RE Store will sell the like-new piece for less than half of the original price, at $500.
The RE Store's outreach and marketing manager, Bray Hayden, was happy to see the fixture brought to a place that could give it a new home, rather than send it to a landfill. The RE Store is a place not only to find salvaged goods, but also to bring your unwanted items to be recycled, she says.
This fixture has a variable height to suit your space, and its green-glass shades can be swapped out to match your color scheme. Use it to add ambience to your home for the holidays.

You've been asked on more than one occasion to show what you've tried already.
This shows us that you're actually trying to solve the issue yourself as opposed to waiting for someone to post up a solution for you.
As modi has already pointed out, if you're already working with the DB by inserting records, then querying them to select a record shouldn't be so difficult.
Use the CODE tags and show what you've tried and what errors you have, that way you'll get a better response to your request.

Intrapersonal Communication
Blaine Goss New Mexico State University
Widespread interest in intrapersonal communication--the study of how people process messages--began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when speech departments updated their programs to include behavioral approaches to the study of communication. In those days, speech departments were a conglomeration of performance-oriented scholars coming from rhetorical traditions and speech scientists who were known as the speech and hearing faculty. Many such departments included broadcasting and, perhaps, theater arts as well. In short, if it had anything to do with oral communication, it was in the speech department. The addition of the psychological behavioral sciences offered another perspective to the study of speech.
Because the speech scientists were primarily interested in the productive and receptive skills of the communicator, they were the early intrapersonal communication scholars. Even if intervention was the speech and hearing department faculty's chief motive, clients were studied as language using speakers and listeners. Thus, early interest in intrapersonal communication focused on either listening behavior or some aspect of speech science (speech perception, language acquisition, audiology).
The professional associations also reflected a speech and hearing interest. For instance, the Speech Association of America (as it was known then) had a Speech Science Division composed primarily of speech and hearing scientists and clinicians.

Siem Reap
Everything you Need to Know about Siem Reap
Located between rice paddies and flanking the Siem Reap River, the small provincial capital of Siem Reap serves as the gateway to the millennium-old temple ruins of the Khmer Empire, Angkor Wat. Being a tourist destination for over 100 years, Siem Reap has plentiful accommodation, ranging from simpler guesthouses around the old market to five-star resorts nearer the airport.
The town is actually the result of a conglomeration of several small villages built around several pagodas and subsequently united under the French, and Siem Reap's architecture reflects this influence. Despite its rural location, the town has a healthy nightlife and good restaurants are not hard to find...

Inhofe crashes Democrats climate change party
U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe showed up Monday night for the Senate Democrats' climate change talkathon to do a little talking himself.
"It's probably necessary to do something all night, to get the attention of the American people," Inhofe said. "You keep saying, 'Climate change is real. Global warming is real. It's real, it's real, it's real.' If you say it enough times, people are going to think it's real."
Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, Inhofe's frequent sparring partner on environmental issues, noted that at least he didn't bring up his usual assertion that climate change is a hoax.

Hi guys! I see a lot of you have finished your cardigans already. Looking good! Don't forget to post pictures.
[Editor's Note: Click here to see photos in our Ravelry group, and if you'd like to leave a photo here on the blog, click in the commenting box and you'll see a little "mountain range" icon. Click it to browse to your photo on your computer and upload it to your comment.]
I considered making the sleeves a little longer, but in the end, I decided in the end to make them the same length as in the pattern. However, if you'd like to lengthen your sleeves, it should be pretty easy to do.
The easiest way to lengthen the design is to just work the number of chains for your size and work even until your sleeve has however much longer that you'd like than the one in the pattern, then follow the pattern as set.
The pattern schematic tells us that the sleeve-to-armpit measurement is 9 inches for all sizes. Let's say that I want my sleeve to be 16.5 inches (16 to 17 inches is a standard length for women's sleeves). That's 7.5 more inches. Our pattern gauge tells us that each row is 0.31 inches (4 inches ÷ 13 rows = 0.31 inches per row).
7.5 inches ÷ 0.31 inches per row = 24.19 rows
Our color repeat is ABCDED and each color is used for 2 rows, so 24 rows is two full sets of all of the colors. Therefore, I'd do 24 rows straight, before following the pattern as set. (If you want to make your sleeves longer or shorter, you may need to do a partial repeat of the color pattern, so be sure to plan for that.)
After the sleeves, I had all the pieces finished, so it was time to block. Don't skip this step! It can make your garment look much more professionally-made and neaten up any uneven stitches. While you can block after your entire garment is done, many people find it helpful to block your garment before sewing it together, as this way you can correct the measurements of any part where your tension may have changed a little.

Hi everyone! I hope you guys had a great holiday weekend and those sweaters are coming along nicely! This week I was busy making the fronts of my cardigan. I know a few of you wondering about how the pockets join to the body, so we'll start with that.
I had a little trouble joining the pockets, as I just assumed I knew what to do, so I didn't read the pattern carefully, and kept wondering why I didn't have enough stitches left at the end! Learn from my mistake! To join the pocket-lining, work the number of stitches required for your size, on the body of the cardigan as normal (this is a wrong side row, so it's all in single crochet), then skip the first stitch of the pocket lining (this is where I kept going wrong!) and work across the top of the lining, skip the last stitch and skipping 17 body stitches from the first join, single crochet in the next body stitch and work to the end.

This week I worked on the back of my cardigan. To avoid having to weave in all those ends, I had planned to carry the colors up the side and hide them in the seaming process, but I found that having 5 balls of yarn attached to my project at all times drove me a little crazy! So instead I decided to weave the ends in as I crocheted, hiding them by holding the ends of the new and old colors together on the WS of the work and crocheting over them as I made the stitches. Now all I'll need to do is snip off the ends when I'm finished. This is my favorite method of hiding ends for crochet, especially for color-work.

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren, and I'm very excited to be your Crochet-Along host for the Colorfully Modern Cardigan. I work at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio in New York City as a knitting and crochet instructor, a great job if you're as yarn-obsessed as I am.
I was very pleased when you guys voted for this project, as it would have ended up on my "must make" list anyway. Also, I needed an excuse to work with our newest yarn Unique. I love any kind of color-work, especially when the yarn is doing all the hard work for you!
Please don't be intimidated by the complicated look of the cardigan; it's really only 2 pattern rows repeated over and over. Even if you are new to garment making, I would encourage you to have a go with this project, as we can all help each other, each step of the way! Please feel free to ask me questions here and visit our Ravelry group. I'd love to see your projects progressing.
The first thing you'll want to do is accurately measure yourself, so you can choose a size. With a flexible tape measure, measure yourself around the fullest part of your bust, wearing whatever clothes you plan to wear underneath your cardigan. I measured myself wearing a t-shirt and sweater, because I plan for this project to be my fall jacket.

Hi, everyone. Today I'm going to be talking about the final stages of making your sweater, and how you can keep on adding design elements even after all the knitting is complete! Once you've picked up the bands and sewn the sleeve seams and woven in all those ends, there's still things you can do to change the look of your sweater.
One of my favorite ways to add some interest to a plain stockinette sweater is embroidery. I enjoy doing a method called duplicate stitch, with which you can put pictures on your garment, similar in look to intarsia, but much less fiddly! If you find an intarsia chart you like the look of, you can actually use this method to embroider it on to your sweater. It's also a great way to use up random scraps of yarn!
With duplicate stitch, you are actually mimicking the look of stockinette stitch. You use a darning needle threaded with yarn in a different color to your base fabric, drawing over the chosen stitches so that they are covered with the different colored strand of yarn. This is a very easy method to add little motifs to your work. Be wary of covering large areas of fabric with this method, however, as it does make the fabric doubly thick in the covered areas.

Newspaper article The Evening Standard (London, England)
LESS EQUALS PEACE; British Architect John Pawson, the Master of Minimal Rooms, Features in a New Design Museum Exhibition, Reports Corinne Julius
Article excerpt
Byline: Corinne Julius
FOR the last decade in design, pattern and ornamentation have been the order of the day. Minimalism came to be seen as outmoded and barren.
A new exhibition at the Design Museum, John Pawson Plain Space, which examines the work of architect John Pawson, may lead to a re-evaluation. Pawson is frequently labelled a "minimalist" but essentially he is extremely rigorous in his design process, reducing and editing his buildings and product designs to create visual clarity, simplicity, understatement and calm.
Pawson's architecture plays with light and how it enters a space. Rectilinear window openings, often seemingly rising straight out of the ground, project light on to blank walls. There are no obvious shelves or cupboards; simple blocks of wood serve as tables and seats. Few if any possessions are on show and the colour palette is monochrome. His rooms might not accommodate average family life, but in a busy, cluttered existence, his spaces offer tranquillity.
The Design Museum's director, Deyan Sudjic, curator Gemma Curtin, and Pawson himself, have included a fullscale room in the show. It contains nothing but two benches but gives a sense of being inside Pawson's architecture.
The exhibition strives to show not only Pawson's work, but also his design process to help visitors engage with his work in different ways, and while it is not a retrospective, it does bring together themes in his output. One of the most important of these is his use of materials, which while not necessarily luxurious, are always of extremely high quality. The show includes actual architectural elements in stone, bronze, wood and metal, taken from a range of his buildings, including The Baron House in Sweden and his own home, the Pawson House, in west London. …

good family favorite :) quick and easy,
I made this recipe; although good it is very rich especially if, you add the philly cream cheese that another person recommended!
Delicious and easy, with a couple of additions. Added fresh mushrooms, doubled the amount of tortellini, and used a whole jar of a good Alfredo sauce plus one container of Philly Italian Herb cooking creme. This added great flavor. Also used more parmesan than called for and added some shaved Asiago cheese at the end. Family gobbled it up and 12-year old niece even asked for the recipe!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Right fielder Jayson Werth has been scratched from the Washington Nationals' lineup.
Werth left Saturday's 10-9 loss to St. Louis in the ninth inning with leg cramps, but there was no reason provided for his removal from the lineup for Sunday's series finale.
Roger Bernandina replaced Werth as the Nationals' leadoff hitter. Bryce Harper moved from center to right, and Bernandina took over in center.
Werth, who missed the first four months of the season with a wrist injury, is batting .313 with four homers and 24 RBIs in 54 games.

Third Year of Maintenance?!
Monday, March 31, 2014
I rarely go online over the weekend, just a quick look at e-mails to make sure I'm not missing anything for my girls' schedules. I was surprised with all the Spark messages congratulating me on my 3rd Year of Maintenance - thank you by the way!
Once I again I feel a little like a "fraud". I am currently 9 lbs. over goal (hopefully not more after this past weekend - but that's a blog for another time!) and was 14 lbs. over goal in mid-January.
My first year of maintenance went pretty smoothly and when that first anniversary rolled around on 3/31/12, I was only a couple of pounds over (still suffering from my holiday "hang over"!). Things got a little "hairy" at the end of 2012 and at the beginning of 2013, I found myself 10 lbs. over goal! I got back on track, worked really hard and was back at goal by May!
However, at my 2nd Maintenance Anniversary, I was still about 6 lbs. over goal and felt a little like a "fraud" then.
I know I'm not a "fraud", I struggle with maintaining and sometimes steer a little off track, but I'm committed to this healthy lifestyle.
Yeah I had a donut (or 2+) yesterday, but I also had 5+ servings of freggies, drank plenty of water and took a 45+ min. walk (climbing up and down hills and playing in the river!) and on Saturday I went to the park with DD#1 & 2 and puppy and took a long walk even though it had been raining and it started to pour on us and we had to run back to the car!
I know if I look back at my blogs and weight history (which I often do), the main reason for the upward climb in weight (besides the holidays) is stress eating from my busy schedule, not planning and not tracking.
However, since this is my lifestyle, it's not as hard to get back on track. I did feel the need to go back to Weight Watchers in January to get off the 14 lbs., but I like the accountability and motivation at the weekly weigh ins and meetings.
And yes, once again the weekends got the best of me, and my eating was way off track, but I dusted myself off and fixed my healthy breakfast and packed my healthy lunch.
Like I mentioned before, I'll be going out of town on Wednesday, but we'll be doing lots of active things and I know how to make good choices when I'm traveling (know how, but often don't!).
So once again, thank you for the comments and accolades. I work hard at it and I am a maintainer - so Happy 3rd Anniversary to Me!

Believe me, I sure know how you feel. I just celebrated two years of maintenance and am 10 lbs over my goal. It's difficult not to focus on what we think we still need to do, but after being surprised by the well wishes, I decided to celebrate my improved healthy habits and the fact that I've kept a significant amount of weight off for two years.
So congratulations!

You'll want to keep him in some shade and make sure he doesn't overheat , but I don't see any reason otherwise. We will take DD at 11 months (7.5 adjusted), but would have gone two months earlier if planning had worked put for my brother in law.

We took an umbrella and his baby bat tub. The tub was great to keep him from overheating. We would fill it with ocean water when we got there and let it sit in the sun for a little while to warm it up. He loved it.

I was def gonna get an umbrella! But the bath tub is an excellent idea!!...thanx
Posted 05/16/2013
You may want to look into the environmental working group's (ewg) website for sunscreens that are gentler on their skin. Also, the baby powder trick on pinterest-rubbing it on to remove sand-works amazingly!

We are going at the end of July. LO will be 8.5 months adjusted, 10.5 actual. I'm more nervous about all the flying than anything actually at the beach.
The baby bathtub idea is brilliant!

We live 2 minutes from the beach and our lo went at 3 months. There was plenty of shade and u pit 70+ sunblock on him lol. We live so close we never thought twice about it. But very good question.

My 33 weeker who is 6 1/2 mths went for first time on 5/12:) we had a canopy..and since he cant sit on own yet we brought a 3 ring pool filled wit water n put his lil bath seat n it!! He loved it it was like bathtime!
Posted 05/16/2013
My boys are 9 months . They go to the beach at least once a week (we only live about 5 min away ) as long as you use sunscreen & have shade it's all good
Posted 05/17/2013
We have taken our 14 weeker to the beach for the last couple weekends. However our beach has a shady area so I stay there with baby and also keep him in a pop up tent. Dh and the dog swim, and I have fun taking pictures of everyone. We do take him for a brief walk in the sun for just a few min. No problems at

There is a new depth chart for Kent State on cyclones.com, not a lot of big changes.
Allen Bell now a #2 because of Banks' injury
Brandon Hunley now listed as starter at SS over Sandvig
Max Powerhe's the man whose name you'd love to touch...
But, you musn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear
But when you say it, you mustn't fear
Because his name can be said by anyone!
Nothing against Sandvig at all, but I always have liked the tenacity out of Hunley... glad he's worked into a starting spot.
Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?

I agree. It's good to see a guy who's been around a long time get a start.
the only other difference i see...

Considering a bitcoin mining hardware purchase? Make a more informed decision with our Bitcoin Mining Dashboard.
Following Avalon's announcement of bulk ASIC chip sales in April, Butterfly Labs (BFL) has announced they will be doing the same. ASIC chips are the customized component that performs hashes in bitcoin mining. Previously, all BFL preorders were ASIC chips already installed on boards and ready to be used immediately. This is a new product category in addition to their previous miners and will require designing boards to set the ASIC chips in. BFL estimates a 100 day lead time, with pricing is as follows:
Grade A chips have 16 engines and will do 250 MHz comfortably, equating to 4 GH/s per chip.
Chips will be graded and priced as follows:
Grade A: 16 Engines – $97/chip
Grade B: 15 Engines – $93/chip
Grade C: 14 Engines – $89/chip
Grade D: 13 Engines or less – $83/chip
They will be testing and grouping the ASICs into performance grades A-D, and pricing appropriately. Grade A will run at 4 GH/s and cost $24.25 per GH/s, while grade C will run at 3.5 GH/s and cost $25.42 per GH/s. There is a minimum order size of 100 chips, and the costs themselves can be further reduced up to 20% by ordering in bulk. Most likely there will be group buys organized through the bitcointalk.org forums to take advantage of these discounts.
100 – 999 chips – Regular Price
1000 – 9999 chips – 5% discount
10,000 – 99,999 chips – 10% discount
100,000 or more – 20% discount
Chip orders will require 50% down and 50% upon order delivery. Payment can be made via BTC (preferred) or bank wire.
Avalon released open-source reference designs about a month after they began their bulk sales, so it would be expected that BFL will do the same. These ASIC chips use a more advanced manufacturing process than Avalon, and will provide a better power and cost efficiency than Avalon's 282 MH/s chips costing $33.20 per GH/s. All other things being equal, this should allow for significantly smaller units that run far cooler for the same hashing speed. The real question is whether BFL's continuous delays will be worth those efficiencies.

Time to Freeh Janet Reno
Dettmer, Jamie, Maier, Timothy W., Insight on the News
FBI Director Louis Freeh says that Janet Reno should appoint an independent counsel to investigate campaign fund-raising abuses, and is dismayed at the sluggishness of the Justice investigation.
Not since the legendary J. Edgar Hoover played hardball with JFK has an FBI director been so ready to challenge a sitting president. As was the case with the Kennedy brothers, it is the attorney general who has become the lightning rod in a growing legal and political storm between the bureau and the White House. While Attorney General Janet Reno--to the relief of President Clinton--remains unmoved by congressional calls for the appointment of an independent counsel to probe the Democrats' Asian-money trail, FBI Director Louis Freeh has become even more convinced that a special prosecutor is needed.
And he's making no effort to disguise his concern at the way Reno has handled the allegations of fund-raising wrongdoing.
Insight has, learned that Reno's refusal to recommend appointment of an independent counsel -- she has declined GOP requests four times -- has become the source of mounting conflict between the Justice Department and the newly emboldened FBI director. According to sources both in the bureau and on Capitol Hill, the differences between Freeh and Reno are being compounded by the FBI director's frustration with what he sees as a less-than-zealous Justice inquiry into 1996 Democratic Party fundraising practices.
At the back of Freeh's mind, say sources close to him, is the fear that the bureau will get stuck with the blame if federal inquiries into illicit fund-raising are less than exhaustive. Freeh, who doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Filegate and find himself once again the butt of allegations of political favoritism, has tried spur the Justice task force forward. He even has enlisted the help of GOP lawmakers in a bid to pressure Reno indirectly to get the probe to shift up a gear.
The director's efforts at forging alliances with GOP congressmen have antagonized the White House but, at the same time, have earned him some unlikely Republican admirers. Last spring, House Rules Committee Chairman Gerald Solomon of New York, who has been kept abreast of the progress of the Justice probe by Freeh, urged his GOP colleagues to back off criticizing the director for the failings of the FBI crime lab and they responded -- including Republicans still unhappy with Freeh about high-profile FBI debacles such as last summer's botched Olympic-bombing investigation.
"He's fast becoming someone worth trusting," says a congressional GOP source. "What a difference a few months make -- last year a lot of Republicans were baying for his blood, now people here are noting he seems determined to be his own man. He is signaling very clearly that he's going to be no one's tool."
Freeh's current popularity among GOP lawmakers stands in stark contrast to how Reno is viewed. Solomon, for example, lavishes praise on Freeh, remarking, "I have the utmost respect for the FBI," but adds, "I can't say the same about Janet Reno." The attorney general's refusal to appoint an independent counsel recently provoked House Speaker Newt Gingrich to compare her to John Mitchell, Richard Nixon's attorney general who spent 19 months in a federal prison following a Watergate conviction for conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. Leaving the hyperbole aside, even the normally reticent Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch of Utah, who prefers to operate quietly and pursue compromise, flashed irritation with Reno at a recent Senate hearing.
GOP lawmakers aren't alone in questioning why Reno won't appoint an independent counsel. The attorney general's continuing insistence that Justice can handle the inquiry has produced critics beyond Republican ranks -- among them Democratic Sens. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin. With more details emerging daily concerning dubious White House and Democratic National Committee, or DNC, fund-raising practices, Reno's explanations for refusing to press for an independent counsel appear increasingly fragile to her critics. …

In Berlin you will find a very extensive public transport network. Many sights are directly and rapidly accessible. Because of the central location most guests leave their car parked, or do not even bring it at all.

The city district of Prenzlauer Berg was once known for its working class people and talented artisans. In 1920, Prenzlauer Berg officially became part of the city of Berlin and it was called Prenzlauer Tor. The added borough contributed roughly three hundred thousand German citizens to Berlin's population. A year later, the Prenzlauer Berg was born, and it has been a traveler's destination ever since.
Prenzlauer Berg has an area of eleven square kilometers, and a thriving population of 160,000 inhabitants. With the tall buildings stabbing into the summer sky, the panoramic view of Berlin in the summer leaves many wondering why there are not more people. In your apartment it's nice to have a street (Stargarder Strasse) that can be walked down without pushing and shoving.
When strolling through the Prenzlauer Berg you will see fantastic images of both new and old, through art and commerce. The French Quarter area of Prenzlauer Berg on Oderberger Strabe, was developed after the German French war of 1871, and is situated between Schönhauser Alee and Prenzlauer Alee. The beautiful streets can be easily recognized, as they have been named for places in France such as Metz, Mulhausen and Kolmar.
World War II saw extensive bombing in the city of Berlin. with many of the buildings destroyed, a rebuilding effort began in 1945. Through hard work and a determined national pride, the Germans, most specifically the Berliners, worked insatiably until the town was rebuilt.
For you it's nothing more exciting and enriching than visiting a section of a city with so much history. Although the history was very traumatic with the bombings from the allies at the end of World War II, it is nonetheless history, and it's great to learn about Berlin and the effects of the war on this great city.
The entire area is alive with history, as every street that you turn down offers another insight into the spirit of European togetherness as there are Prussians, French, Danish and Norwegian street names all throughout Prenzlauer Berg. This makes Prenzlauer Berg one of the most interesting and vibrant places for a traveler of any in Berlin.

The apartment is right on Nollendorfplatz, overlooking the uBahn station. It was clean, tidy and well laid out. The sofa-bed in the living room was lacking covers. The kitchen was very well equipped despite its small size. It was particularly nice to find that tea bags and milk had been provided. The kitchen window was badly cracked.
The bathroom/toilet is also small and somewhat cramped. It was clean and tidy. The bedroom was sparsely furnished but entirely adequate. The bed was comfortable.
The living room was a bit to warm at times: despite it being Summer and pretty warm the radiators were warm in the evenings so the windows and doors had to be opened to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. The bedroom was much cooler.
The location is great. The area is lively and relaxed at the same time. Maaßenstraße is lined with bars and restaurants. Winterfeldplatz has a regular market with good fresh produce. There is a good, well stocked supermarket right below the apartment. One can be in the heart of the tourist areas in minutes.
As the apartment is on a busy street expect some noise at night: it was not a problem at any point. Just sitting on the balcony looking over the city was a nice relaxing to spend some time.
I would certainly book this place again were it available.
Bon emplacement dans quartier calme proche metro meme si le velo permet d aller presque partout
Appartement calme mais les murs sont peu epais.
Le petit bemol : il y fait clair des le lever du jour soit 5h30 en mai
L appartement meriterait un petit coup de jeune
Sinon c est parfait et je recommande
Ich kam erst sehr spät in Berlin an, die Schlüsselübergabe klappte wunderbar! Die Wohnung war sauber und ist sehr gut gelegen! Es ist reichlich Platz und eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre. Wenn ich wieder nach Berlin fahre, würde ich sehr gerne wieder bei Martin buchen.
Eigentlich alles vorhanden was man so braucht.
Abstriche gibt es jedoch bei der Sauberkeit der Küche. Leider war bei uns das Inventur zum Teil nicht sauber.
Die Matratzen sind nicht sonderlich bequem.
Ansonsten aber vollkommen in Ordnung.
Great location. Appartment was very well maintained. The possibility to take a hot bath after a long day of sightseeing is very nice. We enjoyed our stay in Berlin! Thank you!
our stay in this flat was perfect. Location is excellent and the flat was really well equipped and in a very good state. its was also perfectly clean.
So I would definitely recommend it as the area is also great !
Thanks for welcoming us there.
Very good location, close to subway station. You have a supermarket, small stores, couple of nice fast food points just nearby (1-2 min. walk). Though there is a railway just in front of the building, where the train goes in almost every 5 minutes, it didn't bother us at all.
Nice old building. The apartment itself is excellent and I would say beautiful, quite large, nice bedrooms and comfortable beds, clean and well equipped bathroom, small but also very clean toilet (they are separated). Also very well equipped and nice Kitchen. At home we would only have a breakfast and we could eat everything we wanted to eat for breakfast. No discomfort at all. And we were 7 people living there.
There were also speakers, so we could enjoy listening music in a good quality.
We were totally satisfied. For me, when I visit a city, it is important to live in a comfortable place, so I could enjoy staying there 100 %. And we did it without any question.
The only thing we didn't like, was no lift in building, because it's old. And we had to walk up to 5th floor, which was not a pleasure for us of course. Especially at night, when we used to come home tired.
Martin itself was very nice, very helpful and very well accessible before arriving in Berlin. Fortunately we didn't need his help during staying there, because everything was in order there and perfectly explained by him before our arrival. Otherwise we could reach him any time on his phone.
We recommend this apartment very much. 10/10.
Bien situé, propre, très calme, un très bon rapport qualité-prix.
À recommander!
Die Wohnung ist - wie beschrieben - groß, schön und gut ausgestattet. Nur schrankmäßig könnte die Einrichtung noch etwas verbessert werden. Hervorzuheben ist aber vor allem, dass die Wohnung eine super Lage hat und trotz ihrer zentralen Position gegenüber dem Bahnhof "Nollendorfplatz" ausreichend ruhig ist.
Bei nächster Gelegenheit komme ich gerne wieder!
Ludger Wolfgart
Très bien accueillis à l'adresse par Martin...nous avons découvert un charmant petit appartement propre et fonctionnel dans un bâtiment entièrement rénové situé dans une rue très calme. Nous avons séjourné 8 jours à Berlin, proches de la station Hackescher Markt de la S-Bahn située sur une ligne principale (1 seul changement de ligne en venant de l'aéroport de Schönefeld) .Après des journées bien remplies nous retrouvions confortablement notre pied-à-terre berlinois ...

Do you guys recommend stretching before I ride? Also what kind of stretches should I do?
Do you guys recommend stretching before I ride? Also what kind of stretches should I do?
I only usually tend to strech before I go running since it is harder on my muscles. I will stretch before I ride if I have ran in the past few days as my muscles tend to get tight since I don't run everyday. I would stretch if you are noticing muscle aches at the end of your rides. for example, like lower back, arms or neck. I think loosening up before a ride definitely wouldn't hurt a bit to make sure your muscles aren't tight and that you don't cramp up on a huge hill.
My lower back and right knee were a little sore so maybe stretching is a good idea.
It feels good to stretch...i feel more flexable after.
My bike:
Giant Yukon
Wickedly lickety shot,
Spickety spickety split lickety! :D
What kind of stretches should I do though?
You should do stretching for your entire body. This promotes blood flow to the muscles, glands. and internal organs. Any book store will have books on stretching. The book "Serious Cycling", by Ed Burke, has a section on stretches for the cyclist.Originally posted by Cyclone
What kind of stretches should I do though?
you should never stretch cold muscles. warm up first.
"I spend a long time on my hair and he hits it. He hits my hair."
A slow warm-up ride of a couple of miles is part of my stretching. I will do that first and then take a little time to stretch. I have tried stretching before a ride and found that it does little to nothing for my flexibility later on. However stretching after riding a few miles usually does wonders. Also, taking some time to hop off the bike and stretching every so often during a ride is a good way to relieve/fight fatigue, cramps and soreness.

"Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send." -- Jon Postel, RFC1122
According to the guidelines set by the American College of Sports Medicine, you should NEVER stretch cold muscles. Rather, take the time to warm up the muscles- like 5 to 10 minutes depending on how long you'll be exercising, then stretch the muscles you will be using. Never bounce when you stretch- hold the stretch 10- 30 seconds.
I jog in big circles (baseball field) for about 5 laps. Then I stretch, mostly quad and hamstrings. I also stretch arms and back a little.
Yes indeed! You can do more damage to muscles while stretching without a worm up then not stretching at all. Long story short, worm up first then stretch!Originally posted by The Bishop
you should never stretch cold muscles. warm up first.

"Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send." -- Jon Postel, RFC1122
After a 5-10minute warmup, spinning in a low gear, you can stand on your pedals and let your heels slowly sink down. This will stretch the back of your legs. If you then gradually bend over it will stretch your legs and back more. NEVER do this with a bounce or you will tear a muscle.
You can also do a cat-stretch, arching your back as you stand. I find that these are enough to get me loose.
I was hoping someone was going to say that!! Not a good idea to stretch cold muscles!Originally posted by The Bishop

When it comes to failed American Idol contestants from four years ago, Clay Aiken is probably the biggest name around – so big that he seems to think he can go around putting his feet on the armrests of other plane passengers willy-nilly.
You wouldn't think it to look at his infuriatingly wet, Jesusy face, but under Clay Aiken's simpering, smarmy skin beats the heart of a rebel. The sort of rebel who doesn't think twice when it comes to getting on an aeroplane and putting his feet on someone else's armrest. Of course, Clay Aiken's rebellious nature loses a bit of credibility when it emerges that Clay Aiken only puts his feet on armrests belong to a girl, and the girl gets so angry that she pushes Clay around enough for the FBI to get involved, but the important thing is that Clay Aiken doesn't care about rules. No, wait, what are we talking about? The most important thing is that Clay Aiken got shoved around by a girl on a plane.
As much as we laugh about the stalled careers of British talent-show contestants like Shayne Ward and Leona Lewis, at least we're happy enough to admit that it isn't just a British problem, as waves and waves of American Idol contestants are happy to prove. Sexy vegetarian girl aside, and what have you got? Nobody has heard of Taylor Hicks since that awful Doobie Brothers single he released, Kelly Clarkson is in the middle of a career meltdown and we're buggered if we can even remember the names of any other American Idol contestants, which probably says a lot. Sure, Jennifer Hudson may have won an Oscar, but there are only so many 'overweight singer' movie roles in the world, so we wonder how long her acting career will actually last.
And then there's Clay Aiken, who lost American Idol in 2003. People like Clay Aiken because he's so painfully inoffensive that he barely exists. Put Clay Aiken next to a puppy dressed as a ballerina and his endless cutesy bumbling would make it look like a snarling blood-hungry wolf. Clay Aiken is the sort of person who writes inspirational books with titles like Learning To Sing: Hearing The Music In Your Life – titles that make us want to puke blood on a nun's hat. However, there's more to Clay Aiken than just being mild-mannered to the extent that people actually find him creepy, because Clay Aiken is also able to get in very inconsequential spats with plane passengers about his feet, as Forbes reports:
Singer Clay Aiken apparently got into a dispute with a woman during a flight to Tulsa, drawing some scrutiny from FBI agents but no charges, a newspaper reported. FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson told the Tulsa World there was a dispute between a male passenger and a woman on the flight. He said the man was a former "American Idol" contestant but did not give his name. Johnson said the dispute was over the male passenger's foot resting on the woman's armrest. He said there was an allegation the woman gave the male passenger a "minor shove" during the argument. "At that point the flight crew was able to resolve the situation," Johnson said.
See, other American Idol contestants – this is how you stay famous. All you have to do is follow Clay Aiken's lead. Not by being all Jesusy and irritating, obviously, but by getting into the most insignificant scrapes you can on public transport. We're sure we'd be talking about Ruben Studdard more if he dropped a newspaper on a bus and refused to pick it up, and Fantasia Burrino would be the most famous woman in the world if she did more guffs in packed trams, of that we're sure.

It seems police will once again get their blue plate special in North Carolina.
The state says it's giving up on the red-letter license plates, and will soon go back to the traditional blue.
The DMV says the return to blue plates came after requests from customers and police who found the blue plates easier to read from a distance.
The red letters began showing up two years ago and were brought in to assist with the recall of old and worn plates.
The DMV says the remaining 1.1 million red-letter plates are expected to be distributed between now and mid-October.
The state says the change back to blue will be done without incurring any additional cost.
The DMV tells WITN News that once blue plates are issued, those with the red plates can exchange them for blue ones when their vehicle registration is renewed at no cost.

Stumbling on Open Ground
Love, God, Cancer, and Rock 'n' RollAuthor: Ken MansfieldNarrator: Brent StokerRuntime: 5 Hrs. - UnabridgedKen Mansfield writes as both a cancer and music industry survivor, vividly describing the many fragments a person tries to assemble when cancer or any other personal tragedy strikes.It's tough being a Christian when hardships strike. We're all human, and that means we're all susceptible to pain, doubt, exhaustion, anger, frustration, fear—the whole gamut of human emotions and experiences. And they all come in a swarm when you get cancer. Stumbling on Open Ground steps away from the pattern of other cancer books, Christian or secular, and attempts to tackle the question of how you can doubt a God that you do not doubt. It's about having trouble believing what is going on when you believe God knows what he is doing at all times. It is about questioning what is happening when you know where all the questions are answered.Author Ken Mansfield, former U.S. manager for the Beatles Apple Records and Dove and Grammy Award winner, takes readers into the experience in visceral, vulnerable passages that weave the ongoing spiritual struggle and physical pain with eventual triumph. Humbling and inspiring, his story forms a raw and ragged look at human suffering—one that validates our shared experiences, provokes a powerful sense of empathy, and encourages us to push into God even when it feels like God is pushing back.Learn More

Jesus Prom
Life Gets Fun When You Love People Like God DoesAuthor: John WeeceNarrator: Heath McClureRuntime: 4 Hrs. - UnabridgedDo we love people like Jesus loves them?Jesus loved verbs. He loved action words such as live, come, rest, learn, hear, give, go, and even die. Wouldn't it make sense that the people who claim to follow Jesus would love the same words Jesus loved?Unfortunately, somewhere along the way someone tried to make the word Christian an adjective. So now people speak of "Christian" books and "Christian" music and "Christian" schools. When people use the word Christian as an adjective instead of a noun, the word loses its meaning. Maybe this explains why so many churches have lost their purpose.In Jesus Prom, Jon Weece explains how our goal as Christians is to become increasingly more like Jesus. Jesus loves people, which means we should love people the way Jesus loves them: through action. Live, care, give, go—love the way Jesus does.Learn More

Part of Greenville's tobacco history is now history.
The smokestack for the old Imperial Tobacco Warehouse was imploded at 1:00 p.m. Friday.
The smokestack was the last remaining part of the old tobacco company warehouse which was destroyed by an arson fire last year.
Advance Blasting Services was brought to tear down the historic landmark. Earlier attempts to use a cable to pull down the 200 foot smokestack failed.
Crews from Advance drilled 44 holes in the base, pulling 2 sticks of dynamite in each hole. Several streets were blocked off, including Dickinson Avenue.
People were kept back several hundred feet away and crews blew a 5 minute warning horn and then another at one minute out.
The implosion went off without a hitch.

We start things off this week with the powerful new video from No Bird Sing, lifted from their album, Definition Sickness, released by Strange Famous Records. We've also got new vids from Taj Raj, Koo Koo Kanga Roo, Lovely Dark, George Hadfield, and Chicago's Supreme Cuts, which features vocals from Poliça's Channy Leaneagh.

See Also: Top 10 must-see Minnesota music videos this week (John Mark Nelson, Toki Wright & Big Cats, EMOT, Atmosphere, and more)
No Bird Sing - "APOGEE"
No Bird Sing's national fan base grew a lot wider when the trio signed to Strange Famous Records, who recently released their rousing new album, Definition Sickness. For the second video from their new collection, the group leaned hard on Aby Wolf, who not only lends her backing vocals to the track, but stars in the video (along with Joe Horton) as well. The clip, which was directed by Horton and Patrick Pegg, artfully captures a couple in conflict, and the games that are often played in any relationship, both literally and figuratively. The track and the video both build to an elegant, impassioned conclusion, with No Bird Sing yet again making a bold musical statement that will resonate with fans both new and old.
Taj Raj - "Change of Mind"
Taj Raj are back with a serene new clip for "Change of Mind," the final video from their terrific recent EP, Fine Hearts Alive. The somber, mournful video was directed by Colin Kopp, who perfectly captures the feeling of desolation imbued in the track itself. The group is set to play Night One of the Southern Theater Sessions on February 27, which will also feature intimate acoustic performances from LOTT, Gabriel Douglas, batteryboy, and Farewell Milwaukee, with a whole host of other talented performers taking part over the following two nights. It will surely be a wonderful series of shows at the cozy Southern Theater.
Koo Koo Kanga Roo - "Food Fight"
Koo Koo Kanga Roo have been entertaining audiences filled with both kids and adults for years now, attracting praise from music fans across the country. Their choreographed, interactive dance parties prove to be irresistible to even the most jaded music lover, and Bryan and Neil have cultivated quite a following due to their boundless energy and highly enjoyable performances. The group has unearthed a new video for "Food Fight," which they just "saved from the wreckage" and finally released. The clip was directed and filmed by Benjamin Singer, and edited by Benjamin Johnson, and manages to capture some of the supreme fun the group generates with their music. Koo Koo Kanga Roo will once again be performing at the Current's Rock the Cradle event at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts on March 2, which is a guaranteed good time for music lovers of all ages.
Supreme Cuts - "Envision (ft. Channy of Poliça)"
Chicago electro-pop duo Supreme Cuts enlisted a whole host of local talent to help out on their new single, "Envision." In addition to the ghostly backing vocals of Poliça's Channy Leaneagh, they also got Minneapolis filmmaker Braden Lee to direct, shoot, and edit the video for the track, which he shot in NE Minneapolis, a St. Paul laundromat, parts of Duluth, and the ice caves in the Apostle Islands. It all adds up to a striking combination of sights and sounds, as Supreme Cuts' intoxicating beats are stylishly complimented by the wintry images featured in the clip as well as Channy's mesmerizing vocals.
SCRNS - "TTYN (Live on the Current)"
SCRNS seem poised to break out big in 2014. Armed with a collection of infectious, enthralling demos, the Minneapolis electro-pop duo (comprised of Holwer bassist Max Petrek and vocalist Erin Ross) are already winning over local music fans in a major way. The group recently dropped by the Current studios to perform a beguiling live session, which features this hypnotic version of their current single, "TTYN." SCRNS are part of a stellar all-local bill tonight at the Triple Rock, where they will be playing with Strange Names and Frankie Teardrop, with Night Moves providing a DJ set throughout the night to add to the fun.
Lovely Dark - "Into the Roil"
Minneapolis psych-folk sextet Lovely Dark have just released a haunting new video for the title track from their forthcoming new album, Into The Roil. The cinematic clip was directed by Kevin Russell, and stars the band's husband and wife songwriters, Sonia and Travis Even. The group recorded their new album in one highly productive weekend at Crazy Beast Studio, and are celebrating with a record release show at Cause on March 1, with Speed's the Name and Fury Things.
PRGRPHS - "Last Words: Kurt Russell (Live on Radio K)"
Minneapolis post-rock duo PRGRPHS recently dropped by the Radio K studios for a fantastic live session, which featured this simmering take on "Last Words: Kurt Russell," which is drawn from their stellar recent release, You're Ridiculous (I Love You). This sprawling live studio version (shot by Tyler Croat, Madie Hamilton, and Kevin Karner and edited by Jack Buckholz) captures the textured elegance of the band's expansive, distinctive sound.
George Hadfield - "Never Told a Lie"
Usonia's George Hadfield has branched out on his own for an electro-pop side-project. And the first track he's offering up from his ethereal, synth-driven new sound is "Never Told A Lie," which gets a futuristic, Tron-like video treatment from local director Adam J. Dunn that only adds to the track's transfixing, poppy charms.
Dan Mariska & The Boys Choir- Live in Brooklyn at Live By The Sword Studio from Fez Empire on Vimeo.
Dan Mariska and the Boys Choir - Live in Brooklyn at Live By The Sword Studio
While Dan Mariska and the Boys Choir were out on tour recently, they dropped by Live By The Sword Studios in Brooklyn, and recorded this terrific live session. The performance was shot and edited by Dale Krupla of Fez Empire Productions, while the audio was recorded by the Bushwick Hotel's Gregory Ferreira. It all adds up to a stellar live session, with the unique surroundings only adding to the charm of the performance. You can catch Dan Mariska and the Boys Choir at the 7th Street Entry on March 23, as part of the Crash Bandits' CD release show, along with the Person and the People and Glow Mechanics.
Narco States - "Amputate" from Dan Huiting on Vimeo.
Narco States - "Amputated (Live at Hymie's Records)"
Here's another fantastic video shot by Dan Huiting as part of PBR's Live at Hymie's Records series. This one captures an explosive live performance from the organ drenched garage-rock quintet Narco States. The group certainly shook Hymie's extensive vinyl collection with this untamed performance within the shop's intimate confines, which was captured exquisitely by Huiting and his talented crew. You can catch Narco States at Lee's Liquor Lounge on Saturday, March 8, as part of a rocking bill featuring L'Assassins, Trim Reaper, Violent Shifters, and DJ Shannon Blowtorch.

As noted by Joystiq, the ESRB is currently listing the upcoming PC version of Manhunt 2 with an Adults Only (AO) rating.
GamePolitics readers will likely recall that the console versions of Manhunt 2 generated a major controversy in the summer of 2007 when the game was banned in Britain and tagged with an AO here in the States. Rockstar subsequently released a toned-down version that earned an M (17+) rating for the U.S. market.
That was a critical milestone, because the Big Three console makers won't license AO-rated games for their systems, which makes it tough for a publisher to earn a return on its investment. That's why you don't see any AO-rated console games. While the open architecture of the PC negates licensing concerns, an AO-rated Manhunt 2 would still get thumbs-down from major retailers like GameStop and Wal-Mart.
That means that Rockstar is either planning a digital distribution campaign for Manhunt 2 or that it will edit the PC version – as it did with the console editions – to earn an M from the ESRB. Of course, there is a third scenario: Rockstar could ship an M-rated version to retailers while distributing an AO-rated version online.
We wonder how Valve might react to handling an AO game if its Steam service, which currently distributes Rockstar's GTA IV online, is under consideration as a potential digital distribution source for Manhunt 2.

OSU football: Former Cowboys deny bonus allegations
BY GINA MIZELL, Staff Writer, email@example.com
STILLWATER — James Thomas doesn't hold back when asked about the allegation that former Oklahoma State assistant coach Joe DeForest paid players bonuses for performance.
"If he was actually paying people for making plays, heck, I would have been rich," said Thomas, who played linebacker at OSU from 2007-11 and earned the nickname "Johnny on the Spot" because of his uncanny ability to snag turnovers. "If you look at my stats, I made play after play after play and didn't get anything.
"I got an 'attaboy' and a pat on the back. A 'good job, JT.' I got praise. That's all I got."
The first installment of a five-part Sports Illustrated investigative series that will allege misconduct inside the OSU program dating back to the Les Miles era will be released Tuesday morning. The vast majority of the accusations — ranging from academic fraud to Orange Pride hostesses providing sex to recruits to a selectively enforced drug policy — took place from 2001-07. But one of the more recent claims is that DeForest provided bonus compensation to players during his 11-year tenure in Stillwater that ended following the 2011 season.
If there was ever a year where performance payments would have been prevalent, it would have been 2011, when the Cowboys led the nation with 44 take-aways on their way to the Big 12 championship and a Fiesta Bowl victory. And one of the biggest playmakers was Thomas, who compiled four interceptions, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, three sacks and five pass breakups that season.
Yet Thomas stresses he never received payment for his performance, and never saw or heard of any teammates being compensated.
"Heck no," said Thomas, who was recruited out of the Houston area by DeForest. "He knows the rules. He's a great guy. He wouldn't do anything to jeopardize anything that we had going. Because we had something special going. So as far as paying (us)? Not at all."
DeForest, who is now in his second season as an assistant coach at West Virginia, has denied the pay-for-performance allegations to The Oklahoman. Another defensive starter from the 2011 team, who spoke under condition of anonymity, echoed Thomas' stance that he was never paid by DeForest and never saw or heard of a teammate receiving a bonuses for big plays.
Former OSU safety Markelle Martin took to Twitter Saturday night to deny the accusations, posting,
"We went from not even having a (defense) at OSU to supposedly Defo having a bounty system ... we made the NoFlyZone and enforced that with heart, not with a system."
Andrew McGee, who played cornerback at OSU from 2009-10 and was an All-Big 12 performer after recording five interceptions in 2010, also denied the allegations. He has been around DeForest in several environments, first as a player, then as a volunteer defensive backs coach in 2011, then as a graduate assistant at West Virginia since last season.
"None of us was bold enough to ever bring up any kind of compensation or money for playing," McGee said. "It just didn't happen. Where it came from, I have no idea. But that's not who DeFo is. That's definitely not who (former cornerbacks coach Jason) Jones is. That's not who Coach (Mike) Gundy is."
Former Cowboy defensive linemen Cooper Bassett and Richetti Jones also told the Tulsa World that they are skeptical a bonus program was in place during their time at OSU.
"You would think in five years you would hear something," Bassett said, "because 18-, 19-, 20-, 21-year-old guys are probably the worst people in the world at keeping secrets.
"You are in a locker room and you have a lot of testosterone flowing in that locker room. And we all know that men love to brag and they love to brag to other men.
"… I never heard anything in my five years at Oklahoma State. I figured that if I hadn't heard anything in five years that we had the best secret-keepers in the United States of America and they should go work for the Secret Service or the CIA. Or it's just a bunch of baloney."
McGee was quick to note that he can't speak for the culture of the program before he arrived. But he believes strongly that DeForest did not run a pay-for-performance system while McGee was in Stillwater.
"It's bogus. I can guarantee you that it is.
"If there's players that are speaking out that was from 2009, '10 or '11, it's just bitterness or guys who didn't make it because they didn't do right. That's all it is. I can't imagine who it would be, but I guarantee you it was someone who left the program bitter and upset that they didn't make it and it was based on what they did, nothing that any coach did."

This is a nice campground run by a very nice couple that have just bought it. I only gave it a 5 because the site I was on had a very bad slope to it and I couldn't level my coach. Half of the sites are on a slope. The lake is within 400 feet of all the campsites. I would strongly suggest giving them a call to see if they have any open spots before pulling to the campground as they fill up fast. The electric service is good, water pressure is good, and most of the sites have shade most of the day. There is ample room between sites. All sites have a picnic table, and are gravel. - bones1941

Myth or Truth - After the age of 45, it is estimated that the average person loses around 1% of muscle mass per year.
This is true.
To compensate, you may need to become more active than you once were.
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) regulates body weight, body composition, and daily energy needs. Resting metabolic rate decreases with age in women.
If you eat more calories than you burn, the excess is stored as fat, and weight gain occurs. According to the CDC, a 1-pound weight loss represents about 3,500 calories. For a weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week, caloric intake needs to decrease by 500 to 1,000 calories every day, depending on how much exercise you engage in.
To jump-start your metabolism, you must regain and then maintain your muscle mass. The most efficient way to do that is to develop and stick to a regular exercise program.

The FDA's Push To Safeguard The Food Supply By Abbie Fentress Swanson • Mar 12, 2014 Abbie Fentress Swanson/Harvest Public Media Many of the food terrorism scenarios outlined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration involve liquid. And there's good reason for that. Liquids like orange juice and milk go through many processing steps -- farm, bottling plant, delivery – before reaching the consumers who drink them. And these liquids are moved, manufactured and stored in huge batches that get distributed and consumed quickly. Should a toxin be injected somewhere along the supply chain, experts believe it could have devastating human health and economic consequences. Could Our Food Supply Be A Target For Terrorism? By Luke Runyon • Mar 11, 2014 Jeremy Bernfeld/Harvest Public Media It sounds like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster. Villains in trench coats scheme ways to cause the most destruction and chaos. They settle on a food company, an easy target, and plan to lace the products with a chemical or pathogen. The hero finds out the plan with enough time to save the day.

This review is from: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Well... I liked the color of the board.
Cons: DOA, ASRock's warranty team is the biggest pain to deal with. They want pictures and purchase dates and receipts and what the NewEgg team members blood to prove you actually bought it...
I will never consider this manufacture for a <anything manufactured under their name> again.
Other Thoughts: My machine was down for over a month and ASRock still hasn't replaced my board. I've already ordered a different brand, moved all of my parts over, and booted (first try). That's how I am now writing this review... because all of the other parts I ordered work just fine.
Flimsy low quality board. I actually returned perfectly good RAM twice while dealing with their support team. Sure enough...
If you want a good quality board for this price, stick to Intel, MSI, and ASUS. For a budget saver check out ELITEGROUP; great little boards.
This review is from: Intel Gift - iRacing Subscription 3 Month
Pros: none.
Cons: They forgot to give it to me. donkeys behind holes!
Other Thoughts: If you want to send me a CPU to replace it that'd be cool. 1155 ivy i3/i5/i7 QC would be nice.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: I'm pretty sure this is the only CD/DVD drive available on the market.
Cons: Probably because we stopped using CD's.
Other Thoughts: Tennis Rackets.READ FULL REVIEW

I have a 1991 S10 Blazer 4x4, with a 4.3L V6.. it has 193000 miles on it, but it has been well kept up. It was running just fine until one day recently I was drving down the highway and it started jumping. Then a few days later the blazer, began popping and jumping very badly. It wouldnt stay started if I took my foot off the gas. Now it has a VERY rough idle, where the entire truck rattles and shakes..I cannot start it and move it, because just as soon as i take my foot off the gas, it begins to sputter then dies.In the middle of all this it also overheats, and smokes after running for ten minutes or so...Which it never did before the sputtering, and jumping,etc... I have had this vehicle for two months and it never did this until just a couple days ago.It was a strong running truck. I would really like to fix it because it is my only transportation. I have no idea what it could be. I know that it was given an oil change, but we have since had to have more oil put in it beca use the oil filter housing has a hairline crack in it which causes it to leak.. The only other problem I have is a faulty gasket on the transmission pan... But it was runnning great until all of this came about...
Whats wrong with my truck? on 1991 Chevrolet S10 Blazer

the fact that you said it overheated makes me think you blew a head gasket and that would explain the missfire and smoke. you need someone to do a leak down test to verify. Roy

I believe you are right, because we drained the oil and it was milky-brownish-white, and thick as lotion.. Does a blown head gasket describe just about everything that was wrong with it? Also would this make it hard to start?
COMMENT by mastertech6371 , November 11, 2011
yes to all. fix the head gasket issue first and see what happens. Roy
