2016 Race Season Testing @ Shannonville
A lot of preparation for the 2016 race season was done at RMP Motors during the cold long winter . After winning the GT1 and GT2 Championships in 2015, RMP Competizione decided to prepare the BMW E90 touring cars for the 2016 race season. With new engines, suspensions, modifications and tuning under the belt, the pair of 2006 325i's powered by BMW's N52 motors were ready for testing.
The first planed test day was held at Shannonville Motorsports Park near Belleville, ON on May 7th.
The two E90 touring cars were both setup and dialed in to perfection! First time out with the E90′s in 2016 was a great success considering the cars had were in pieces a couple months earlier. Rocco Marciello and Michael Delledonne were piloting the cars to very consistent and fast lap times all day, on the slick FABI circuit.
The long and hard hours of preparation showed to be worth while with the test sessions going flawlessly.
The first race event will be held at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park on May 14-15 and we expect it to be a great one. Be sure to follow RMP Competizione for updates and race results.
RMP Competizione Dominates 2015 GT1-GT2 CASC GT Sprints Championship!
The excellent start to the 2015 season was a sign of what to expect from RMP Competizione . With many hours of preparation and tuning, all 3 RMP Competizione entries were found at the top of the charts for the remainder of the 2015 events. In GT2, John Hansen and Marek Petruczynik, battled most of the season for 1st place in class. In GT1, Rocco Marciello, lead the field most of the season, winning most feature races and finishing each race with excellent reliability and performance. At the second Calabogie event of the season, RMP was found on top of the rankings in all 3 races. Rocco Marciello won the feature race over 45 seconds ahead of the field with the fastest GT sprints time of the weekend. Team mate John Hansen finished second overall, and 1st in GT2 well ahead of the rest of his class. This weekend put RMP in the lead of the points standings in both GT1 and GT2.
The last race of the season was held at Canadian Tire Motorsport park, with the GT1 championship already locked in, Rocco Marciello ran his GT1 Triumph TR7 to another victory padding his points lead. GT2 driver John Hansen in his BMW E36 ran an excellent weekend taking the 1st place position from Marek Petruczynik winning the GT2 championship back to back.
The 2015 season was wrapped up with a Grand Finale Fun race, that was won overall by Marek Petruczynik in his EX Cascar Monte Carlo, we congratulate him on his victory and personal fastest lap of the season of 1.28.
This put RMP Competizione ahead of the competition with Rocco Marciello winning 2012-13 and 2015 GT1 Championship, John Hansen winning 2014-2015 GT2 Championship, and Marek Petruczynik came 2nd in GT2 in his first full GT2 season.
The 2015 race Ontario GT Sprints results shows that with RMP Motors you will receive championship winning service, that is second to none!
We also would like to thank Bully Clutch, Fuchs oil, and MolySlip for there continued support throughout the years. Preparation for the 2016 season has started , and with some changes and upgrades it looks like it will be a great one.
Great Start for RMP Competizione in 2015
With testing and the first event under our belt in 2015, the second event was held at Calabogie Motorsports Park May 29-30. RMP Competizione had two cars entered at this event, our GT1 Triumph Tr7 piloted by Rocco Marciello and a RMP sponsored and tuned ex Cascar Monte Carlo piloted by Marek in Gt2. We felt confident going into this event after some chassis setup changes and tuning, which showed to be worth while. Rocco took 1st in class in the first race of the weekend finishing the race on slicks in pouring rain, Marek finished 2nd which was a excellent start to the weekend. The main feature race of the weekend also went well, with Rocco starting off the race amazingly and leading the entire race finishing first in class and first overall with the fastest GT1 lap time of the weekend, Marek also did well finishing fourth in GT2.
These results have RMP Competizione leading GT1 and GT2 in the championship so far.
The next race in the championship is being held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park June 27-28, stay tuned for more news and results.
Successful 2014 Race Season For RMP Competizione
After a long hard battle in the 2014 GT Sprints Championship, RMP Competizione was once again at the top of the rankings. The RMP Competizione sponsored GT2 E36 won the Championship, beating out higher hp and more complex race cars. We congratulate John Hansen on his successful season and his Championship win. Our 2012-2013 Championship winning Gt1 Triumph finished with a tie for 2nd place in 2014, only running a partial season due to driver Rocco Marciello injuring his hand after the Calabogie race.
We are proud of this and previous years accomplishments. We give thanks to our crew and sponsors for there continued support and plan for the 2015 race season to be as impressive with preparations already started.
RMP Motors continues to use these race experiences to improve our ability to setup, tune and service vehicles, no matter if it's your daily driven car or full championship winning race car. This knowledge and experience is what makes RMP Motors service ahead of the rest.
Excellent Race Weekend For RMP Competizione
With alot of preparation for the BARC Canadian Touring Trophy races at CTMP July 26-27, all of the hard work and dedication proved to be worth while with great podium finishes. In GT1 our in tube chassis TR7 piloted by Rocco Marciello, we finished with two 2nd place positions and came 1st overall in the feature race. In GT2, RMP Competizione sponsored BMW E36 driven by John Hansen, also proved that RMP tuning will get you up front with an impressive 2nd and two 1st place finishs. The weekends results have us 2nd place in GT1 and 1st place in GT2 so far in the championship standings. We would also like to congratulate Marek Petruczynik on his great first race weekend in his RMP tuned and chassis setup ex Cascar.

With rain and poor track conditions, we are proud to congratulate John Hansen in his RMP Competizione tuned and sponsored S54 E36. John won all 3 races during the weekend his GT2 BMW, holding off higher HP tube chassis cars, and piloting his car to victory! This putting John in 1st place in the GT2 championship so far, and a great start to the season.

The rest of the 4 races of the season continued in a similar manner, finishing each race and collecting points was the goal and the goal was met as each weekend that past with great races and finishes. The RMP Competizione built and tuned TR7 was fast and reliable all season with only one DNF. Showing that a well built and properly maintained car will finish races and win championships.
We are proud to announce we have won the 2012 and 2013 CASC GT1 Sprints championships back to back, in our TR7 piloted by Rocco Marciello. Rocco won the championship with 434 points over the 2nd place contender with only 272.
We thank our great team and our sponsors for a excellent 2013 season and we are looking forward to a great 2014 season.
Clean Sweep at Shanonville!
The second round of the GT Sprints Championship was held at Shanonville Motorsports Park. We made some motor changes before the weekend and went into the weekend hoping for the best. Qualifying in 1st was a good sign for what was to come the rest of the weekend. After a great qualifying we finished all 3 races in 1st place, and received maximum points towards are GT1 championship. The RMP Competzione team is very proud of our accomplishments so far this season as we are already leading the championship with 100 point lead over the current 2nd place team.
The next round is being held at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park June 22-23.
Stay tuned for updates.
Great Start To 2013 Race Season For RMP Competizione
The first race event in the Ontario GT Sprints Championship for 2013 was held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. After a long winter it was great to get out to the track for some Friday testing to prepare for the races on the weekend. The only change to the car for 2013 was the addition of a power steering unit.
Still running our lower powered spare motor we were surprised that we were able to successfully finish with two 2nd places and a 1st place on our first weekend out in 2013.
Getting consistent lap times and only losing to a higher HP Trans Am car,we were extremely happy with our results.
With these results we are already sitting in 1st place in the championship so far.
The second round of the 2013 race season is being held at Shanonville May 25-26.
RMP Competizione Wins 2012 Motul GT1 Championship!
After a tough mid-season engine failure due to a valve train problem during practice for the 3rd race weekend of the year, a spare lower HP engine was installed to continue the season in hopes of still winning the championship. Without knowing how the engine would perform we headed out to Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (CTMP) for the 4th race weekend. The spare engine ran well but not as fast or consistent as our original engine. We were able to come in a respectable 4th place, which kept us in the first place position going into the next race weekend. However, some tuning and setup was needed for faster lap times.
The next race weekend was held at Calabogie Motorsports Park. With it being our first time racing on the full long track, we had to learn the circuit quickly in order to have a successful weekend. Once we became familiar with the circuit, our lap times improved and we were able to pull off an amazing race start and take the trophy for 1st place overall. As a result, the win basically clinched us the GT1 championship title.
Moving on to CTMP for the last two race weekends, all we had to do was finish the races and collect points to secure the title. With the championship already in hand, we didn't take any unnecessary risks and closed the season with many great finishes.
We won the championship in our RMP built and tuned tube chassis TR7. Rocco Marciello, owner of RMP Motors, piloted the TR7 to victory with 337 points over the second place contender with 167 points.
RMP Competizione would also like to congratulate our fellow teammate, Michael Delle Donne, on his 2nd place in the GT3 class championship in his RMP tuned BMW e90 325.
Preparation for the 2013 race season has already begun at RMP Motors and we expect it to be a great one!

Gisagara district started the construction of its Guest House last year 2013 and reportedly expected to the reduce expenses, taking care of guests in Huye district who in turn will add up to the district income.
The district has been lacking in hotels and accommodation places for a long time and would even send its visitors to Huye town for better accommodation but soon this will never happen with the construction of the guest house.
This Guest House is situated in Gisagara Trading Center in Ndora sector near the district's head offices.
The construction of the guest house is almost done
Apart from this Guest House being a solution to the reception of visitors as well as boosting the tourism in the district, it will be the solution to people who desire good food from nice places.
Uwimana Jeaqueline one of the Gisagara district frequent visitors says "it is a good move for Gisagara district to have the guest house especially since one could not find a decent place to have a meal let alone to spend a pleasant night."
Innocent Mvukiyehe the executive secretary of Gisagara district says this Guest House will be of great service to the people of Gisagara district, its visitors and tourists that find this district fascinating.
This Guest House will also generate the income for the development of the district especially through retaining the money that was used for reception of the district visitors in other districts.
With the construction of the Guest House almost over, the tender for the operations of this Guest house has been set and the winning contractor will take over the Guest house and start operating in about a month's time.
The Guest House will have 40 rooms and a conference room that can accommodate about 70 people.

The actual film is well worth a watch, the talking dog works surprisingly well. Lots of rape though. I think there's a good rip on surrealmoviez.info

Fire destroyed a mobile home Tuesday in the Vista Del Rio senior manufactured home park in Vancouver's Fisher's Landing area.
The fire was reported around 1:35 p.m. at 17401 S.E. 39th St., Space 202. Firefighters arrived on scene around 1:43 p.m.
When firefighters arrived, every window in the home was black, indicating there was a great deal of heat and smoke in the home, said Vancouver Fire Capt. Kevin Murray. Firefighters adopted a defensive strategy because of the proximity of other mobile homes, he added.
No one was found inside the residence.
The building and contents were destroyed, with damage estimated at $100,000, Murray said
The cause remained undetermined Tuesday night after fire marshals interviewed a man who lived there.
The smoke and firefighter activity drew many neighborhood residents outside to see what was going on.
Katie White lives around the block from the burnt home. She said she saw white smoke in the area when looking out her window. When it didn't go away she knew there was a problem, she said.
"There's never been a fire here," said neighbor Janie Hendrickson.
Units from Vancouver, Camas and Washougal responded to the blaze.
County property records indicate the home is owned by Nadine Hull.

Renamed as .aif, played in FLStudio and in Windows Media Player just fine.
So I thought why not go the whole hog and rename it .wav and that plays fine in Windows Media Player but is a no go in FLStudio.
Back to batch conversion for that.
My guess is you can't actually change the format after the fact just by removing a letter or changing it anymore than changing the .pdf document simply by changing the letters to dfp would change the fact that it is still a pdf, just might not be able to open it. It's still what it is when it was made. Just my guess. The main thing for me is apparently it didn't matter aif or aiff.

A good deal is hard to find in the world of fancy shoes. Cheap shoes almost always look cheap (often even cheaper than they actually are) and expensive shoes…well, sometimes they look cheap too. If you're on anything resembling a reasonable budget, finding a chic, wearable pair of shoes that doesn't break the bank can be an exhausting endeavor. At under $300, the detailed, modern Rebecca Taylor Syklar Snakeskin Pumps might be exactly what you're looking for. And yes, hey're real snakeskin.
These shoes tick so many important boxes right now – pointed toe, sleek design, ankle strap, exotic elements – that I can barely believe they exist at such an attainable price point. The combinations of textures is particularly impressive; the laser-cut ankle strap combined with the grey snake vamp creates a very high-end look that could easily retail at a much higher price. What's perhaps best about this design, though, is its versatility. These shoes could accompany everything from a set of slim wool crepe trousers at the office to a floaty little black cocktail dress on a Saturday night. Buy though Net-a-Porter for $295.

Best-selling fantasy author Marsha A. Moore's Heritage Avenged, Enchanted Bookstore Legend Two is the second in her Enchanted Bookstore series. Herein, Ms. Moore's heroine Lyra McCauley is a writer and a hereditary sorceress whose power shines best through her writing. She was born to become Dragonspier's next scribe and though the year is drawing to a close, she continues her education in that pursuit. But Lyra's quest is interrupted when she receives disturbing news: the county coroner informs her someone killed her aunt Jean. Lyra takes a hiatus from her teaching job in Tampa and sets her mind to finding the killer, but the people of Dragonspier call her back. It is midwinter and though the inhabitants of Dragonspier are celebrating their annual festival, her lessons in Scribal magic as well as her search for her aunt's killer continue. At the Imperial Dragon's request, she finds herself having to take lessons from the Alchemist of whom she is most wary.
But strange, black-cloaked dragon riders terrorize her, indeed they try to steal her own scribal aura.
Even her beloved Cullen's powers can't seem to shield her from the attacks, this time. And when he fails, she must travel to unchartered territory to save him. Will she be able to or will the enemies of the Imperial dragon keep them apart? Will she find her aunt's killer?
With Heritage Avenged Ms. Marsha A. Moore continues to build on her strengths set forth in the previous tale, Seeking a Scribe, while increasing the stakes for Lyra and Cullen. Her fantasy world continues to reveal itself little by little with many more enchanting inhabitants awaiting the visitor to Dragonspier from fire drakes and enchantresses to enchanting dryads, mysterious wizards, and sentient trees. If you love fantasy stories, you can find Heritage Avenged at Amazon.

Green Grease from Omni Lubricants (www.greengrease.net) is regularly featured on Speed Channel's Two Guys Garage. Available in cartridges, pails, kegs, and drums, it is a waterproof, tenacious synthetic polymer NLGI grade 2 grease. Being synthetic, its drop point is over 500º F. It resists washout, high-impact shock loads, and centrifugal separation, making it ideal for U-joints and heavy-duty chassis applications. Its extreme pressure and tenacious properties make it superior for fifth wheels and heavy-duty suspensions.
PACCAR (www.paccar.com) will soon offer the 12.9-liter PACCAR MX engine in Kenworth and Peterbilt Class 8 trucks. Early engines will be made by PACCAR subsidiary DAF in Europe, but production will shift to PACCAR's new engine factory in Columbus, Miss., when it is completed.
The engine brings both makes into the highly competitive, 13-liter market segment. Testing to U.S. emissions standards is ongoing, so final ratings are not available. In Europe, the MX engine is rated up to 515 hp and 1850 pounds/feet for on-highway use.
By the end of this year, PACCAR will have more than 20 million miles of real-world testing completed in a wide variety of applications. Testing is being done to 2007 EPAemissions standards using cooled exhaust gas recirculation and diesel particulate filters, but without catalytic reduction. Introduction to North America should take place well before 2010 emissions regulations, probably early next year.
Michelin Tire says it's reached a plateau with today's tire technologies, so it developed a new set, called Durable Technologies (www.michelintruck.com). It combines new casing features and tread engineering that increases useful tread life and lets given size tires carry more load or carry the same load at a lower pressure for a better ride.
The XDA5 drive tire uses a regenerative tread design with 3-D matrix siping for added strength when the tread distorts in any direction. When the tire wears to 10/32-inch, an additional rain groove appears. It lasts as part of the tread pattern until 4/32 is reached. Available in low-profile and standard 11-inch height in both 22.5 and 24.5 sizes, the XDA5 carries a 5% to 10% price premium but is expected to yield 30% longer life.

Your CalFinder Kitchen Cabinet Library
From Marye on September 28, 2007 in Kitchen Remodel
If you're planning a kitchen remodel, you're probably giving a lot of thought to choosing new cabinets. Whatever style you've got in mind, and whatever your budget for the project, the right cabinets make all the difference. Not only should they look great, they should fit the particular requirements of your daily life. After all, most people spend more waking hours in the kitchen than any other room in the house.
If you're starting to check out home shows and visit showrooms, you're probably starting to feel overwhelmed with all the available options. You may be seeing fairly similar offerings from a number of different vendors; you may be wondering "Who are these companies, and can I trust their products?"
As always, we recommend a thorough and candid discussion with your designer or building professional to help you make just the right choice. And, to help you make that discussion more productive, we're pleased to announce the latest addition to the CalFinder Library: a new section on kitchen cabinet manufacturers. Here you'll find information about some of the leading manufacturers including KraftMaid, MasterBrand, Thomasville, and Crystal Kitchen Cabinets company history, product lines, market positioning and more from top-of-the-line custom vendors to bargain-priced ready-to-assemble.
We hope you'll find the information we've gathered a useful resource as you plan the kitchen of your dreams!
If you still need some help use these reputable resources:
- This Old House, Kitchen Cabinet Section
- Do-it-Yourself Kitchen Cabinets via Bob Vila
- Local Kitchen Cabinet Contractors
- Official Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer Websites, Thomasville, KraftMaid, and Crystal

Satan is in the news once again, according to Business Week on May 12. The Cultural Studies Club at Harvard University will stage a "satanic black mass" despite the opposition of Harvard President Drew Faust and over 60,000 signatures of students, faculty and alumni. The black mass is scheduled for the Queen's Head Pub in the basement of Memorial Hall.
Robert Neugeboren, Harvard Extension School Dean of Students and Alumni Affairs, claims that the Cultural Studies Club is holding the black mass to explore other cultures. As one would expect, it has caused quite a firestorm on campus.
But despite over 60,000 signatures of Harvard students, faculty and alumni against, the mass will go on. The Cultural Studies Club has Christopher Robichaud, a lecturer in ethics and public policy, fielding questions for them. Robichaud claims that the ritual is a jumping off point for discussions of political values such as free speech.
"What do we really think that religious freedom and free speech demands of us?" Robichaud said. "Does religious tolerance demand only tolerance of rituals that aren't offensive?"
Francis Clooney, a Roman Catholic priest and professor at Harvard Divinity School, said that there are limits to the school's latitude. The Archdiocese of Boston, Harvard chaplains, many students and alumni are opposed to the staging of the ritual. Harvard's president, Drew Faust, although opposed to the ritual mass, issued this statement on the school's web site.
"Vigorous and open discussion and debate are essential to the pursuit of knowledge, and we must uphold these values even in the face of controversy. Freedom of expression, as Justice Holmes famously said long ago, protects not only free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate."
Fast has stated that she will attend a holy hour at St. Paul's Church on Harvard's campus in Cambridge, Mass. to demonstrate her dissent.
It should be noted that no consecrated host, the sacramental wafer that's been blessed by a priest and used in the Eucharist ceremony, will be used. The Cultural Studies Club was encouraged to reach out to Catholic student organizations for guidance and feedback.
Robert Neugeboren had hoped that a different compromise could have been reached for the sake of more universal sensitivity. "The event is clearly disturbing to many and Harvard disagrees with the event. While we support the ability of all our students to explore difficult issues, we also encourage them to do so in ways that are sensitive to others."

Planning Commissioner Marc Miller has plans for Menifee City Council
Marc Miller Menifee Planning Commissioner Marc Miller will be one of many applicants vying for the v...
"I've been involved since day one," said Miller, who spent years on the community economic development council that lead Menifee to cityhood. He bought Menifee Valley Farms in 1995 after earning a degree in business and working in the electronics, aerospace and medical industries. He was appointed to planning commission in 2009 by the late councilmember Fred Twyman.
"We were both open towards quality, not quantity," Miller said of the similar views he shared with Twyman, whose seat he's competing to fill. "If you build the city right, they will stay."
Miller believes that the correct way to construct Menifee would be to follow the citizens' vision. "They've laid out the template," he said, adding that city council should present residents with a map that locates where development will take place. "The public has to know where this is going to occur, if this is going to occur, and at whose expense it is going to occur."
In the future Miller would personally like to see business and rental parks, a quality downtown, open spaces, trails, and custom and sustainable homes. He is also in support of solar and wind energy instead of power lines. "We have to be innovative in our research and development," he said.
The types of development Miller is opposed to are multiple-use buildings, where residents live on top and businesses work down below. "I don't think the reality is here," he said, arguing that structures like that are more suitable for beach cities. "But maybe years down the road when we run out land."
Other issues Miller feels strongly about are foreclosures, firefighting, and code enforcement. In between emergency calls he would like to see city firefighters abate weeds and socialize with the public. He believes code enforcement should be complaint driven only and that "they shouldn't be driving around looking for problems." To avoid more foreclosures, he suggests developers "build what reality sets," and base their prices off the median income of Menifee residents.
To solve these problems and more that city council is confronted with, Miller said that if he won the seat he would apply the Five W's: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. "I want to address the issues, bring things to light, and I want answers," he said.
Besides being on planning commission Miller also serves as chairman for the Antelope-Menifee Rural Center and as treasurer for the Riverside County United Communities. When he is not dedicating time to the community, Miller works on his farm where he raises emus, llamas, peacocks, cockatiel, koi and more.

Most Important Packers No. 1: Aaron Rodgers
Almost no one would question that Aaron Rodgers is the Packers' most important player, but the 2013 campaign really hammered that point home.
Green Bay Packers beat writer Paul Imig has analyzed the 25 most important players to the Packers' success in the 2014 season. Find the entire series here.
NOTE: This is not a list of the team's 25 best players, but rather it's a list of which players mean the most to how Green Bay will fare this year. Criteria such as depth at that player's position, general expectations and overall importance of that player having a good season are all highly considered.
30/10th NFL season
A question for the past several years with the Green Bay Packers centered around how many wins they'd pick up without Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Some argued that as great as Rodgers is, the Packers were built to win even if the former NFL Most Valuable Player had a prolonged absence. Well, it turns out that Green Bay is only as good as what Rodgers can be.
Almost no one would question that Rodgers is the Packers' most important player, but his seven missed starts (and pretty much missing eight full games) last season made it perfectly clear that he's No. 1 on this list by an incredibly wide margin. Eddie Lacy is a dominant running back, Clay Matthews is a great pass-rusher, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb are key receivers, but none of them even comes close to matching Rodgers in terms of overall importance in the win-loss column.
In 2013, in games that Rodgers started and finished, Green Bay had a 6-2 record. In games with Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and Matt Flynn at quarterback, the Packers were 2-5-1.
While J.J. Watt was the best defensive player in the NFL in 2013, it still only brought his Houston Texans team a 2-14 record. Joe Thomas has been one of the best offensive tackles in the league over the past seven years, yet he's never been in a playoff game. The quarterback position is just that much more impactful to a team's ability to collect wins, and with Rodgers in, Green Bay wins far more often than not. When Rodgers is out, losing streaks happen. There is now proof of that.
If a quarterback suffers a fractured collarbone like Rodgers did, there's not much he can do about it. Football is a physical sport and quarterbacks have 250-to-350-pound defensive players charging at them. That Rodgers only missed one game due to injury in his first five seasons as a starter was a really good streak, one that was likely to end sooner or later. However, anything that Rodgers can accomplish in 2014 begins with him staying on the field. The Packers' pass protection was quite good last season, but further improvement would certainly be welcomed by Rodgers. Maybe he needs to get rid of the ball quicker in the pocket and scramble less. But regardless of which measures are taken, the outcome needs to be a healthy 16 games from Green Bay's most important player.
Assuming that Rodgers gets back to playing every week, there are things for him to improve upon. His touchdown-to-interception ratio in 2011 was tremendous (45:6) and it was very good in 2012 (39:9). But last season, Rodgers was on pace to throw twice as many interceptions as he did in 2011.
He'll also be challenged in having to work with a group of wide receivers and tight ends that don't have the overall credentials that the group did in past seasons. A year ago, Rodgers had to adjust to not having Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. Now, Rodgers has to get by without James Jones and (presumably) Jermichael Finley. That means Rodgers will be tasked with helping to take players like Jarrett Boykin and Brandon Bostick to the next level in their careers. And whether Rodgers is able to successfully do that will go a long way in the debate about if he can turn almost any decent receiver into a big-time player.
Last season, general manager Ted Thompson and head coach Mike McCarthy mistakenly believed they could get by at backup quarterback by signing Wallace right at the onset of the regular season. That experiment failed miserably. Seemingly determined to not make the same mistake twice, the Packers now have a No. 2 quarterback behind Rodgers that they know and trust.
Whatever it is about Flynn and Green Bay or Flynn and McCarthy's offense, it's a perfect match. Flynn's NFL career seemed on the brink of being over midway through last season. That's when his desperate former team called and wanted to bring him back. Flynn was nowhere near perfect in his four starts (Week 13 at Detroit was a disaster), but he performed at a high level in a major comeback in Dallas in Week 15 that helped keep the Packers' playoff hopes alive. Flynn was given a bit of a break by many critics and fans when he wasn't on point due to the fact that he had just re-joined the team. He won't get those same breaks in 2014 after going through a full training camp in Green Bay.
Tolzien's brief time as the No. 1 quarterback on the Packers' depth chart was marred by interceptions, but he did do a lot of impressive things. Like Wallace and similar to Flynn, Tolzien didn't have a lot of time working in Green Bay's offense before being thrust onto the field. Again, it appears the Packers learned from mistakes of the recent past and will go into the 2014 season with two relatively dependable backups, both of whom will have gone through a full offseason in Green Bay, and that should make a big difference.

Philadelphia -- Will the surging tide of fan dissatisfaction, coupled with a preseason ultimatum from the owner, finally bring the stormy Andy Reid era in Philadelphia to an end? In the midst of his 14th season, a legacy that includes five trips to the NFC championship game and one unsuccessful journey to the 2005 Super Bowl, Reid has never faced anything quite like what's happening now.
After winning three of their first four games -- by a total of four points -- the Eagles have suddenly dropped three in a row heading into Monday night's matchup with the New Orleans Saints (2-5) in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
While that would alarm any fan base, it's different for a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game since 2009, back when reliable soldiers like Donovan McNabb, Brian Dawkins and Brian Westbrook were still going strong. It's a new cast of characters now, the majority of whom haven't tasted such success.
Before heading out to practice Thursday -- after Reid stated emphatically that Michael Vick "was, is and will be the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles,'' - the players tried to rally around him.
"We love our coach,'' tight end Brent Celek said the day after a players-only meeting was held to clear the air. "We don't want to see anything happen to him. So guys want to play well for him. Play well for their own jobs.
"That's our goal around here. If we can do that we'll be alright."
Because it stands to reason, if the coach goes, so will many of those not getting the job done, too.
"It's pretty simple,'' said defensive end Jason Babin, who has just 2.5 of the nine sacks for an Eagles defense which racked up 50 last season, Babin getting 18 of them. "It's trickle down.
Story by
Jon Marks,
Contributing writer
It's been an incredibly tough year for Reid. His 29-year-old son, Garrett, died of a heroin overdose Aug. 5 while he was working at Eagles training camp.
Yet Reid has never used that as a rallying cry for his team and cringed when some of his players tried to. According to defensive tackle Mike Patterson, who may make his season's debut Monday, returning from off-season brain surgery necessitated by a seizure suffered in 2011 training camp, he's no different.
"He's been coaching this way since I came in," said Patterson, who arrived in 2005. "He's never going to change.''
Indeed, the 54-year-old Reid's mantra in every press conference is "I've got to do a better job.'' He never explains what he needs to do better or how to get it done. Simply that it needs to be better.
That essentially absolves his players from direct accountability. Occasionally, like Sunday when Reid hesitated before giving his seal of approval, it led to speculation that Vick, who has accounted for 13 of the team's 17 turnovers, including eight interceptions, might lose his job. Reid promptly issued a directive Wednesday assuring all that he isn't about to send rookie Nick Foles or veteran Trent Edwards against the Saints.
Thursday he further clarified the matter, before turning his attention toward Drew Brees and the Saints.
"We stunk the place out,'' Reid said about last Sunday's 30-17 loss to the unbeaten Falcons where Atlanta scored on its first six possessions. "I needed to step away after the game and evaluate.
"But I'm not going to bench Michael Vick. He knows I'm on board with him.''
Yes, but is Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie still on board with Reid?
Asked by a reporter following Sunday's loss -- his first defeat in 14 years off the bye week - if perhaps the team might be ready to hear a different voice, Reid piped back, "Do you want to talk to them? No, I'll keep doing that.''
How much longer, though, is the question as the Eagles will try to resuscitate their season Monday night in New Orleans.

Filezilla or WinSCP save password in plain text which is unsecured on public machines. Is there any FTP client can save and encrypt password so that people using it only can access to FTP but not able to see password? Thanks!
closed as off-topic by Mokubai♦ Jan 29 '15 at 22:24
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Eventually ends up by using WinSCP which encrypt (or hash?) password and save in registry. So it's not easy to see plain text pwd.
FileZilla developers said that OS should secure passwords for you , but what if someone got acces to your PC (direct acces , without hacking , just sitting in your chair) and looks at your passwords in that SiteManager's XML ?
If you can use the password, you can decrypt it as well, by using the same algorithm as the program uses. Even if you do not know the algorithm, you still can sniff the plain-text authentication using Wireshark.
Cyberduck for Windows stores passwords (Wiki) encrypted using the System.Security.Cryptography.DataProtector API.
WinSCP does not save passwords in plain text.
Though obviously it can only "obfuscate" the password. It is not possible to securely encrypt passwords in a way that still allows for automatic use.
For better security, you can enable password encryption using master password:
If you're connecting via FileZilla's Site Manager, there's an option below the password field to prevent saving the password.
If you use Quickconnect, the password is saved encrypted in the XML file, and you can click the drop-down menu on the right and clear the history. Then the password will not be stored in the XML file.
Where is the evidence that FileZilla saves plaintext passwords?
Assuming you don't clear and empty the history, the password is only saved if you have this setting in the filezilla.xml file:
This is in the FileZilla installation directory, normally under Program Files, but if you can edit the file and change the setting to 0, the last-used site's password won't be saved at all.

Rick Dickson has proven to be the right man in the right place at the right time for Tulane University Athletics. Beginning his 16th year as the Director of Athletics at Tulane, Dickson has not only sustained Green Wave Athletics but led its transformation to a model Division I Athletics program.
Dickson was the recipient of the 2004 Award for Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, for his leadership in guiding Tulane Athletics through the difficult time of the university's Board review. In 2006, he was awarded the United States Sports Academy Distinguished Service Award for skillfully directing the department through the unprecedented adversity of Hurricane Katrina, the worst natural disaster in the nation's history.
His swift and decisive response to these challenges saved Tulane Athletics, allowing TU's student-athletes and staff to continue to represent Tulane as one of the nation's premier universities and athletics programs.
During the 2005-06 campaign, Dickson kept Tulane Athletics teams viable by first overseeing the evacuation of student-athletes from New Orleans in advance of Hurricane Katrina, and then providing opportunities for the Green Wave's teams to continue competing while dispersed to four campuses in Louisiana and Texas. Working with no home facilities, a depleted budget, and the University shut down for the fall, Tulane Athletics was charged to "Carry the Torch, Be the Face and Represent the Name" not only of Tulane but New Orleans and the entire Gulf region.
In the aftermath of Katrina, Dickson oversaw and presented a plan to the Tulane Board of Administrators to return the Green Wave athletics programs to full-time Division I status with the full complement of the required 16 sports. He took great satisfaction when the reinstatement plan was adopted by the board in 2007, which restarted many of the sports programs suspended as a consequence of Hurricane Katrina.
Dickson's 15th year marked the beginning of a renaissance period for Tulane Athletics. The 2014-15 campaign was Tulane's inaugural season in the American Athletic Conference, its first season in the new on-campus home for Tulane football- Yulman Stadium- and the majority of the Green Wave's facilities were either new or received major renovations over the last six years. Tulane's entrance into The American saw unprecedented television coverage for Green Wave sports.
The 2012-13 campaign proved to another season full of milestones in the school annals. With Dickson and former Tulane president Scott Cowen leading the way, Tulane announced its entrance into The American and his fundraising efforts landed a lead naming sponsor for Tulane's new football stadium- Yulman Stadium- in honor of Tulane alum Richard Yulman and his family. Three Green Wave programs advanced to postseason play, which was highlighted by the women's golf team's ninth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. In the classroom, Tulane's sports program were once again singled out by the NCAA for their elite performances, including the men's cross country, men's outdoor track & field, men's swimming, women's swimming & diving each placed in the top 10 percent of their respective sports, while seven squads registered perfect scores.
Dickson fulfilled his plan to make TU's sports line-up "whole" again in 2011-12 as women's sand volleyball and women's bowling played their inaugural seasons, giving Tulane a 16 sport line-up for the first time since the fall of 2005. The Hertz Center was dedicated in the fall of 2011 as the new state-of-the-art practice facility for the TU men's and women's basketball and volleyball programs.
The 2009-10 season saw the return of men's tennis and women's swimming & diving, bringing the Green Wave's lineup to 14 sports. The season was a banner year for Tulane athletics as the women's golf team repeated as Conference USA champions and finished 18th in the nation at the NCAA Championships, while the women's basketball team claimed the C-USA regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament and the TU volleyball team returned to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season.
The 2008-09 campaign saw the addition of four new programs-- women's golf, women's tennis, men's cross country and men's outdoor track & field-- return to the varsity sports lineup and each sport turned in solid first seasons with the golf team capturing the Conference USA championship and posting a 20th place at the NCAA Championships, while the tennis team registered a 12-12 mark. The TU volleyball team won its first Conference USA regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament second round.
Each year of Dickson's tenure Tulane student-athletes have achieved the highest levels in the classroom -- compiling semester grade point average of 3.0 and ranking among the NCAA leaders in graduation rates.
Over the last 11 years, Tulane's varsity sports teams scored well above their national averages in the NCAA's Academic Performance Rates (APR).
In 2006-07, Dickson and former NCAA President Myles Brand were among the many to praise Tulane's student-athletes and staff for their strong academic performance despite Hurricane Katrina.
In 2003, Dickson assumed the task of building a permanent foundation of support for Tulane Athletics through the Perpetual Wave Campaign. The $65 million campaign was initiated in 2003 following a Board review, which resulted in a unanimous resolution reaffirming the institution's NCAA status. During the review, Dickson guided the department through an intense campaign that saw football season ticket sales more than double, as well as securing funding for the new baseball stadium and numerous other facilities and program updates.
Dickson's efforts to grow the fan base and establish a plan for long-term financial stability comes on the heels of some of the most successful athletics seasons in school history. Under Dickson's watch, Tulane teams have won 41 C-USA titles and advanced to NCAA postseason play 36 times, including the two bowl games (2002, 2013), the 2001 and 2005 College World Series and the 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014 NCAA Women's Golf Championships.
Dickson's innovative scheduling strategy resulted in some of the best-attended events ever at the school, highlighted by the three-game 2001 Super Regional series at Zephyr Field that attracted more than 35,000 fans. In 2002, he scheduled a national record breaking regular season baseball game vs. LSU (28,736-since broken). Football games with teams such as Alabama, Mississippi State and Texas have attracted regional and national attention.
A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dickson came to Tulane from Washington State, where he served as athletics director from 1994-2000. At Washington State, Dickson oversaw an athletics program that was recognized nationally for its success in dealing with gender equity issues. He raised funds for a capital campaign for scholarships and endowments, an indoor practice facility, and the renovation of Bohler Gymnasium. Washington State enjoyed on-the-field success during his tenure, highlighted by the football team's first Rose Bowl appearance in 67 years in 1998.
Prior to that, he spent six years as athletic director at his alma mater, The University of Tulsa, where he was instrumental in forming a football scheduling alliance that evolved into Conference USA, and the expansion of the Western Athletic Conference.
Dickson and his wife, Brenda, are the parents of three daughters and a son, and also have one grandchild. Doug, Kari, Kasi and Kelli, a four-year letter winner in volleyball for the Green Wave, are all Tulane graduates. Kari is a graduate of Tulane's Law School.

State Rep. Tim Wesco announces support for Elkhart school referendum
Wesco said Elkhart Community Schools is "making specific and reasonable requests" for funds.
State Rep. Tim Wesco is encouraging residents to vote for Elkhart schools' referendum on May 6.
He said in a statement that Elkhart schools is asking for a reasonable amount of money through additional taxes.
"The additional tax revenues will be used for specified, tangible purposes: reducing excessive walk zones, completing critical building repairs and greatly enhancing safety and security," Wesco said.
He also believes that the tax rate impact of 0.186 percent is not too much.
A referendum is a chance for the public to directly support the schools, he said, and people should support this request for funds.

For the next three weeks, Barnes and Noble will have contests, activities, and giveaways as well as special sales all connected to popular culture -- from comics, to television, to young adult fiction and film. Local Barnes and Noble stores at Bridge Street and Valley Bend will be a part of this event which ends on August 10.

- July 19 -- Costume Contest at 5 p.m. -- Participants in the contest should come dressed as their favorite popular culture figure. The field is wide open: think pop star, classic movie star, or maybe your favorite Doctor Who character. This event is all ages approved and includes giveaways and activities.

Birth Control Pills / Contraceptive Pills Types, Advantages & Risks
Emergency contraception or Post-coital Contraception
Emergency contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse. It should be used within three days after the intercourse.
Emergency contraception is otherwise called as Post-coital contraception. The alternative names such as morning after contraception or the morning after pill are very misleading because emergency contraception can be used before the morning, after the morning or up to three days after the intercourse but it is very effective when taken within 24-48 hrs. It is a method of preventing pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse. It usually produces a sudden burst of hormones in the body and upsets the normal hormone pathway required for pregnancy. It is used as the first line of treatment for sexual assault victims. It is available without a prescription. It is available as a single dose or split into 2 doses taken 12 hours apart within 72 hours of sexual intercourse.

Taking a page fresh from those old 1-900 phone-sex ads promising that gorgeous, young and perfectly toned women would be at the other end of the line, Facebook scam artists are homing in on their prey with the same concept—and men are taking the bait.
CBS News reports a new study by Bitdefender, an antivirus-software company, surveyed roughly 1,650 users of the social network in the United States and the U.K. and found men were more apt to accept a friend request from a stranger when she was a hot woman. A guy's appearance didn't seem to factor into whether a woman said yes to a request.
Furthermore, 16 percent of women let strangers search their Facebook profiles, while 24.5 percent of men do, according to the network.
"Men expose themselves to risks more than women, especially when accepting friendship from unknown persons," George Petre, Bitdefender social media security-product manager, tells CBS.
Come to think of it, dialing those 1-900 numbers seems pretty risk free compared with opening up your computer's security to a "sexy" stranger, now doesn't it?

Theme in Yellow
by Carl Sandburg
Theme in Yellow Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- How do the first two lines of "Theme in Yellow" immediately establish the speaker as non-human? Why choose a non-human speaker? What's the effect?
- How does the imagery of the pumpkins change over the course of the poem? How do we eventually know it's Halloween time?
- What's the purpose of repeating that "I am" clause throughout the poem? Why not change things up a bit with different phrasing?
- How would you describe the overall mood of this Halloween poem? Are there any specific words that help make this poem stand out in comparison to some scarier interpretations of the holiday?
- What's the effect of all the enjambment we see in the poem? How does this contribute to the overall sound?

Even if you pay your premium on time every month and have a good relationship with your insurance company, you may find insurance disputes hard to resolve when you file a claim. That is why public adjusters are a good investment. Public adjusters work for you to help you resolve insurance disputes. This is how their process works.
Hire a Public Adjuster
If you need to file a claim with your insurance company and think there may be trouble, call a public adjuster to help. If you have already filed a claim and their coverage seems too low, talk to a public adjusters. Public adjusters are here to help you when you would like to dispute a claim. With a public adjuster, such as Benchmark PA:, you can begin the disputing process.
Analyze Your Coverage
Go over your insurance information with your adjuster. They will help you understand what's covered. If it looks like they denied you coverage when they shouldn't have, they will work with you to come up with an appeal.
Create a Damage Estimate
Your adjuster will work with you to determine the price of the damage done to your home by weather, natural disaster, or some other cause. This estimate is typically higher, and more accurate, than the insurance company's estimate.
Negotiate a Settlement
Your adjuster will work with the insurance company to create a new settlement. They will discuss all offers with you and help advise on whether you should take settlements. Your adjuster wants to make sure you get the best possible deal and will work diligently to make sure that happens.
Settle Your Claim
Once a negotiation is reached that you and your adjuster feel comfortable with, your appeals process is over. A public adjuster takes a small percentage of your claim. On average, even with the adjuster's fee, people earn exponentially more money with an adjuster than without.
If you are going through an insurance dispute, make sure you have an adjuster on your side to guide you through the process.
