Power Consumption Tests
Using our new PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly known as to our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a SSD hard drive is used with a single CD ROM and minimal cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power draw on the setup is high, but that comes as no surprise. I'd recommend a good 1000 Watt power supply to anyone who was interested in running this kind of setup.

|This is a discussion on Late stages of ST sng within the online poker forums, in the Tournament Poker section; My main strategy doesn't change for the most part, but these small decisions could be costing me. These are 6 max $2 ST. 70/30 When on
Late stages of ST sng
My main strategy doesn't change for the most part, but these small decisions could be costing me. These are 6 max $2 ST. 70/30
When on the bubble, what times should I call with ATC two D-team small stack.
scenario: Blinds 150/300 Button: all in 400 SB: (68o)hero 3200 BB:2200.
Is this a call for extra 250 knowing BB will also call. I know im not in risk, But should I call here? result: call Button wins 1200 A high.
When you are headsup overwhelming chip lead and blinds are up. What point am I pushing with ATC?
scenario: Blinds 200/400 SB;(J2o)hero 5400 BB:600. Is this a call or fold. I think my odds were better to shove with J2o then to call with ATC next hand, or should I have been patient which i couldn't see myself doing having 9to1 chip lead?
Result: fold, villain doubles up next hand.finished 2nd. The stack sizes are before blinds are posted. Sorry, but I don't know how to convert merges hand history.
1st hand I don't think you HAVE to call as you may have a chance to own the bubble with your stack. I think calling is certainly reasonable.
HU is highly dependant on your opponent. Against some players you can push ATC profitably around 9bb & against some you can never profitably push ATC. Figure out how close your opponent is calling to nash & go from there.
Def shove the J2o hand
Blinds 150/300 Button: all in 400 SB: (68o)hero 3200 BB:2200.
I believe I call the 250 so its 2 vs 1 to try and bubble him. There's 800 in the pot so almost 3 to 1 pot odds and if you hit and button misses, your in the money. Worse case, you've still got chiplead and button on next hand.
re: Poker & Late stages of ST sng
Things to consider in these spots....
how much does it hurt your stack?
How much does it help the SS if he wins, and will he now be annoying to you if he does happen to win (IE will he be able to use those chips, or will he just fold his way back to where he started)?
How much does calling help knock out the smaller stacked player?
The second hand is a really simple one, you have 200 already invested with 400 more to push him all in. If you fold, you let him get free chips, and he gets to shove on you the next hand. If you shove and lose, you give him an extra 400, but the main thing is you got him to face a showdown, and facing a random hand, you win a pretty decent majority of the time, no matter what your hand is.
Hope that helped and GL out there!!

There are a lot of impressive case mods out there, but few as much as this "Aquarium Media Center PC", made in the image of BioShock's underwater universe Rapture, complete with Big Daddy and all.
Modder "sirleechalot" simply kept the hard drive outside the "case" and used non-conductive mineral oil to submerge the rest of the components, praying for the best. Lucky for him it all worked out -- not that you should try this.

Beetlejuice from the Howard Stern DVLH http://www.lukehadley.com http://www.jollydwarf.com Lester Green (born June 2, 1968, in Jersey City, New Jersey), known as Beetlejuice (often abbreviated to Beetle or Beet), is a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and a member of Stern's Wack Pack. He is a dwarf, standing 4 ft 3 in (1.3 m) tall.[1] Beetlejuice also suffers from microcephaly, which gives him his characteristic small head relative to his already small body.[2] These and other features make up his unique appearance and style of speaking which is what initially garnered the attention of the Stern show.[citation needed] He has appeared in feature films as well as performed voice-over work.[3] Beetlejuice has performed with various Howard Stern Show related comedians, including those that perform under The Killers of Comedy Tour banner. On Beetle's first appearance on the Howard Stern Show (July 27, 1999), Beetle claimed that he was 47 years old. On the October 2, 2007 broadcast of The Howard Stern Show, Jerry O'Connell revealed that he knew Lester while he was growing up. O'Connell's mother was Beetle's special-ed teacher, and Beetle was such a good student that he did special work as O'Connell's mom's "assistant." "This Is Beetle" Also known as "The Beetlejuice Song", "This Is Beetle" is sung by Howard Stern Wack Pack member Beetlejuice for the The Howard Stern Show in late 2004.[6] The song was recorded by Stern show producer Richard Christy, who then wrote music to accompany Beetle's raw vocals and engineered it into the full song.[7] The key lyrics to the song are "This is Beetle, he's bad as can and he knows he's the best."[8] The song, which Beetle created spontaneously in the recording studio, has been covered by the rock group Staind[9], who included the song on special editions of their album Chapter V. On September 19, 2005, Blues Traveler played their version of "This Is Beetle" on the Howard Stern Show.[8][10]Initially, Stern was unable to broadcast this recording on his Sirius Satellite Radio program because CBS Radio owned the copyright to all of Stern's shows from K-Rock.[11] Stern and his producing staff recreated many of the more popular segments from his days on K-Rock, but attempts to recreate "This Is Beetle" were unsuccessful, likely as a result of Beetlejuice's disability.[citation needed] However, as of May 2006, Stern, Sirius, and CBS reached an agreement to sell the rights for all his K-Rock broadcasts to Sirius, thus enabling Stern to play the song.[11] When asked a question, Beetle typically prefaces his response by asking "Me?".

Cindy Sheehan: The Ides of March
by Cindy Sheehan
A few days ago, I sent out a frustrated e-mail to a small listserv that includes some major peace activists in the nation, including Dennis and Elizabeth Kucinich. My e-mail read as follows:
"Loyalty First, Expertise Second" is Official Bush Cronyism Strategy. Really. Only NeoCons could Think this Crap Up
Cronyism isn't just a habit of the Bush Administration; it's official policy. Shortly before Bush took office in 2001, Robert Moffit of the neocon Hertiage Foundation drafted a guide called "Taking Charge of Federal Personnel."

Subject: Siegelman Case in Alabama
Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute for March 15, 2007
"Canadian lawmakers have written an Afghanistan version of the Iraq Study Group report, reaching a conclusion that the conditions on that original battlefront in the 'war on terror' are grave and deteriorating." Everything George Bush, Dick Cheney, and this administration, along with the support of a Repuglican majority Congress have done has created a tragic disaster! How can anyone trust anything they say and do anymore?
Paul Rogat Loeb: Election Fraud, My Ass
by Paul Rogat Loeb
They just wanted to protect the sanctity of the vote. That's the administration's pious explanation for why they fired eight U.S. Attorneys who were Republican enough for Bush to have appointed them in the first place. "The president recalls hearing complaints about election fraud not being vigorously prosecuted and believes he may have informally mentioned it to the attorney general," explained White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. How could you question such a laudable goal?
Karen Webb: Bush Supports Gonzales
by Karen Webb
"Any time anybody goes up to Capitol Hill, they've got to make sure they fully understand the facts and how they characterize the issue to members of Congress," Bush said. "And the fact that both Republicans and Democrats feel like that there was not straightforward communication troubles me and it troubles the attorney general. So he took action, and he needs to continue to take action."

Its senior night for Truman State womens basketball
The final regular season game is on tap for Thursday night as Truman welcomes rival Quincy (Ill.) University for Senior Night at Pershing Arena.
Tip off, with senior festivities beginning prior to game time is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
Live stats and live video links, if available from the host site, will be available on the women's basketball schedule page on TrumanBulldogs.com
About the Bulldogs (17-8; 11-6 GLVC)
Truman enters the final game of the regular season in a precarious situation. The Bulldogs were eighth in the first NCAA regional poll, released last Wednesday, but lost both games last week.
They ran into a hot shooting Maryville team that made a school-record 18 three-pointer against the 'Dogs in a 90-84 loss last Thursday and fell on the road 80-76 to Missouri-St. Louis on Saturday night with two starters leaving the game early with injuries.
The Bulldogs have dropped three of the last five games with the other two needing overtime before Truman prevailing.
They have secured at least a home game for the first-round of the Deaconess Great Lakes Valley Conference postseason tournament.
Truman could end up in a tie for fourth place if Missouri-St. Louis and Indianapolis both lose on Thursday night or finish eighth if Truman, Southern Indiana falls and Maryville wins.
The GLVC will release the bracket on Thursday night following games after applying their tie-breaking criteria to the standings.
Truman is third in the nation and first in the GLVC in three-point shooting at 40.4% and fifth in the country and first in the conference in free throw percentage at 78.5%.
They are second in the conference in scoring offense at 81.0 points per game and for the first time in school history, feature five players averaging 10 points or more per game in both overall and league games.
Allie Norton leads the group at 13.4 and 14.1 respectively followed by Amy Briggs (12.8/13.7), Nicole Gloor (12.1/12.4), Bianca Szafarowicz (12.1/12.2) and Courtney Strait (11.0/12.3).
The team shoots 43% from the field with opponents shooting 42% overall, 36% from three and 73% from the line.
Truman vs. Quincy (Thursday 5:30 p.m. - Kirksville, Mo.)
Series History: The Lady Hawks lead the overall series 23-18 and broke a Truman two-game winning streak with a 79-75 win back on December 7 in Quincy.
Truman took a 74-73 lead with 3:14 left after falling behind 16 points earlier.
The Lady Hawks six of the final seven points to win. Hannah Weedman led the Lady Hawks with 24 points while Truman got 16 from Nicole Gloor.
Quincy Last Time Out: Quincy had their 12-game winning streak snapped with a pair of losses, both at home, last week.
They shot just 37% from the field in a 79-62 loss to Missouri-St. Louis last Thursday then ran into the red-hot Maryville squad that held on for a 73-71 win.
Last Five Games:
Truman is 2-3 with two overtime wins in their last five games.
During that span, Truman has averaged 84.6 points per game but have allowed 84.8.
Opponents have been shooting 51% from the field including 48% from three going 45-of-93.
Courtney Strait has led the 'Dogs, averaging 17.4 in the last five games while Strait, Amy Briggs and Bianca Szafarowicz have all shot about 50% from the field.
Winning Season:
The program has clinched their third straight winning season with a 17-8 record with one regular season game remaining.
It is the third straight year that women's basketball will finish above .500.
It is only the second time in program history that the team has had three straight winning seasons as the team strung together five from 1977-1982.
Truman is one conference win away from tying a program high in that regard which was accomplished last season and again in 1999-2000.
The Bulldogs are 66-41 (.631) over the past four seasons, 44-32 (.597) in league games and 38-12 (.775) in games played in Pershing Arena during that span.

Very thick consistency... I don't enjoy scrubbing with it. Update: use more water with it - waaaay better! And very moisturizing. The smell also lingers .. I'd give it a 4 on second thought
Posted by UrsulaRupin on Jun 25, 2014
Para los/las amantes de olor a cacao, este exfoliante corporal no te puede faltar. Es muy suave y lo que mas me gusta de todo es que después de exfoliar, hidrata también que es algo muy importante. No repetiría porque no soy muy amante del olor a chocolate pero es totalmente recomendable. ||| Si consideras útil esta información™ valorala, puedes entrar en mi página y ver otras reviews |||

A fantastic sugar scrub that makes my skin baby soft! I wish it could last a little longer, because I have to use quite much, but the price is nice, so I should not complain. And the smell, oh my GOD, THE SMELL! It's to die for!
Great product but need to improve on packing when they send out
Posted by 4687224540149162544 on Apr 16, 2016
I truly love this product so I have decided to buy some to give away as gift. But I think they should improve the packing before they ship to their client. When the product arrived, it was not wrapped in any zip lock bag, there is no scotch tape to go one round on the cover to double secure the cover, the liquid leaked out, and because this is a sugar scrub, everything inside become sticky, and the product external appearance is also affected even after cleaning up, so I cannot give away as gift as it is not presentable.
Smells great
Posted by 5101106112405814557 on Dec 24, 2015
The scrub smells great - just like hot chocolate. I wish it was a little more abrasive. I think the scrubbiness fades away before I get to go over my whole leg. I still like it, but it's more of a light scrub.

With snow in the Northeast forecast for the upcoming weekend, families are ready to enjoy some warm weather on their spring break family vacation. Now is definitely the best time to get started on researching destinations, finding prices, and booking your trip. Wondering where to go on vacation with your kids during spring break? Here are Family Travel Magazine's top destinations for spring break family vacations. They include European, Caribbean, and US destinations, in a variety of fabulous places. Did we miss any of your favorite spring break destinations for families? Leave us a comment.
Note that we experienced some of these destinations as part of media trips or comped stays. All opinions are my own.
Spring Break Destinations for Families
Puerto Rico
You won't need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico, yet it'll feel like a world away. April is a great time to visit, because it falls in between the winter busy season and the rainy season. We're planning an upcoming visit, and will be staying at the El Conquistador resort. Save up to $500 on Puerto Rico vacation packages from $445 pp!
Grand Cayman
I've visited the Cayman Islands three times now, and I always love it. Our hotel picks are the Ritz-Carlton or the Westin Grand Cayman Resort – both located on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman. We've traveled there with JetBlue Getaways, which is a great option, or save up to $500 on Caribbean vacation packages from $320 pp!
Turks and Caicos
Another one of my favorite spring break family destinations is Turks and Caicos. It was on my family travel bucket list for years, and last summer, I finally had the opportunity to visit. We loved our stay at the West Bay Club, and found that there was so much to do in Turks and Caicos with kids. Save on non-stop flights to Mexico and the Caribbean from select cities when you purchase your vacation package.
Atlantis Resort Paradise Island
My son and I had the opportunity to explore the Atlantis Bahamas Resort this summer, and we loved it. There really is something for everyone – from the water park to the aquarium to the beach. I can't wait to return. Check out this post for ways to save at Atlantis, and you can find Atlantis Resort Paradise Island, Bahamas deals on Priceline.com.
San Antonio
San Antonio, Texas is a great family travel destination, with lots of things to do with kids. The San Antonio River Walk is a must visit, with things for everyone to enjoy. Of course, I also recommend a visit to the Alamo – here are 4 surprising things when visiting the Alamo. See hotel reviews on TripAdvisor.
Orlando, Florida
Of course, Orlando is one of the most popular family vacation spring break destinations, and right now, there is so much going on at Walt Disney World. You can stay on or off property, and we have recommendations for the best hotels for your Walt Disney World vacation. Discovery all things Disney with Disney Vacation Packages on Expedia.com!
Fort Myers
If you'd rather stick with a more relaxing beach vacation in Florida, Fort Myers may be the best destination for you. Consider visiting Marco Island, which is a relaxing and fun place to stay. While I just enjoy staying on the beach, the Dolphin Study Eco Tour and Cruise is a must do. If you are visiting during March, you may be able to catch a spring training baseball game in the area. Find hotels in the Fort Myers area on TripAdvisor.
San Diego
San Diego is a great option if you are looking for a relaxing beach vacation combined with some family activities. Attractions like the San Diego Zoo, Disneyland, and Legoland are just a short drive away. During our stay last year, we stayed at the Bahia Resort Hotel on Mission Bay, and loved both the location and the hotel. Click here for the Best San Diego hotel deals!
Phoenix, AZ
Phoenix is one of our favorite warm weather destinations. There are so many fantastic, kid-friendly resorts (like the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, Westin Kierland Resort, and the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak). If you visit in March, you have the opportunity to check out a variety of spring training baseball games. The Cactus League teams all play within a relatively small radius. Find the best hotels in Phoenix at TripAdvisor
The Azores, the closest and one of the most affordable European destinations, is a temperate 65-70 degrees in April. With family activities like whale watching, hiking, biking, gardens, forts, and museums, you'll find plenty of things to do. SATA airlines has traditionally offered great deals in the spring from many US destinations.
Our lone European destination on this list is Portugual – a wonderful place to bring your family to experience European culture. Our hotel pick is The Yeatman in Porto which is offering a fabulous spring deal.
Family Cruise
Would you rather visit several Caribbean destinations? Then choose a cruise – perhaps a Disney cruise leaving from Florida and stopping in the Bahamas? I really love Castaway Cay – Disney's private island in the Bahamas – and think it's great for families. We've done both the Western Caribbean Itinerary and the Eastern Caribbean Itineraries on the Disney Fantasy – both are fabulous.

Devils add Scott Stevens and Matt Shaw as assistant coaches
The Devils completed their coaching staff today by naming former captain Scott Stevens and Matt Shaw as assistant coaches.
Stevens and Shaw will join assistant Dave Barr and goaltending coach Chris Terreri on head coach Pete DeBoer's staff. They replace departed assistants Adam Oates and Larry Robinson. Oates left to become head coach of the Washington Capitals and Robinson joined the San Jose Sharks as an assistant to be closer to his grandchildren in California.
Shaw worked the last three seasons as an assisant for the Sharks and previously worked as an assistant under Jacques Lemaire in Minnesota for two seasons. He also worked with Barr as an AHL assistant with the Houston Aeros.
"This is not something that's happened overnight," Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "This is something that's been talked about and today it all became 100 percent final. We knew it would be done by this week and it is. ... I'm excited about the coaching staff for what it brings and also Pete's excited, which makes me more excited."
Stevens, 48, worked the last two seasons as a special assignment coach for the Devils, spending some time in Albany working with the defensemen there and attending all of the Devils' home games. He spent the 2009-10 season as a part-time assistant under Jacques Lemaire and did not travel to most of the team's road games or go behind the bench. Lamoriello said Stevens will be a full-time assistant now and DeBoer plans to have on the bench to run the team's defense.
Stevens, who captained the Devils to three Stanley Cups, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2007.
"I think it's obvious first all of all what Scotty Stevens brings," Lamoreillo said. "He brings playing experience, coaching experience – he's been with us and knows the system. He had (two years) of special assignments, knows our prospects. He's been in Albany over the last couple of years back and forth and certainly has interacted with Pete for the last year. He was at every home game and went down to the locker room at the end of the game. So, there's nothing that is a surprise on either end.
"Pete and I have had discussions since Larry decided that he didn't know whether he wanted to retire or what he wanted to do and there's no question that Scotty was the best candidate in our minds and then it was whether Scotty wanted to make that decision to get right into coaching full time. He knows what the commitment is and is excited about it."
Stevens has been gradually building toward this role since he retired following the 2004-05 NHL lockout.
"If you recall, when I went behind the bench (in 2005-06) I had Scott Stevens come on the ice and worked with him hand in hand," Lamoriello said. "I know what he brings and the way he thinks. We all the type of competitor Scotty is and he's really acquired experience over the last several years that has just grown and grown and grown in all aspects. I've been extremely impressed with his evaluation ratings and what he offers.
"You never know sometimes. Great players don't always make great coaches, but Scotty is a student of the game, always has been, and I don't think we have a question about his knowledge of defense. And he played for some great coaches throughout his career. He played in the Olympics, World Cups. What he brings, you can't teach."
Barr, who watched games from the press box last season, will also join DeBoer on the bench in place of Oates. Lamoriello said DeBoer plans to have Shaw watch the games from the press box. Shaw will take over Oates' job of running the power play. The power play was one of his responsibilities with the Sharks and they ranked second in the NHL in 2011-12 with a success rate of 21.1 percent.
"Matt brings exactly what Adam brought when he was here," Lamoriello said. "He ran the power play in San Jose over the last three or four year. He also has experience behind the bench. Pete will decide who is upstairs and who's down."
Shaw's 19 seasons of coaching includes time spent as head coach with Quad City (UHL), leading the club to 2000 UHL Finals, as well as with Mobile (ECHL) in 1997-98. Shaw also served as an assistant coach with Chicago (IHL) in 1998-99 and Quad City (CoHL) for two seasons, after beginning his coaching career as an assistant with his alma mater, Colorado College (WCHA) in 1990-91. A defenseman, Shaw earned All-WCHA Honorable Mention honors in 1988-89, and also played for United States International University.
"He brings experience and has coached at all levels," Lamoriello said. "He also worked under Jacques Lemaire, so we know about him."
After being let go by the Sharks, Shaw said he was excited to get the chance to work for what he called "a storied franchise."
"When an opportunity came up at this time of year to be able to involved in a franchise like the New Jersey Devils and to work alongside Pete DeBoer, Dave Barr, Scott Stevens and to have Lou Lamoriello as somebody to work with day in and day out is an exciting opportunity for somebody who just looks to get better every day and took this kind of a path of working my way up to the NHL by working my way up through the bowels of minor league and I've gotten an opportunity to work at the highest level in the world," Shaw said. "So, it's exciting."
Shaw, who watched part of the team's development camp practices today, said he lives near Barr in Minnesota and learned from him about the Devils' search for assistants.
"I've known Dave from our days that we worked together in Houston, so we were able to talk about things going on in the league and he had some information," Shaw said. "I think that's how it got started. I think another big plus with me in this organization is I worked with Jacques Lemaire in Minnesota for two years and I think Jacques involvement with the (Devils) also helped. I think both Pete DeBoer and Lou Lamoriello were able to reach out to Jacques and find out about my background and my working relationship with Jacques and that probably helped immensely as well."
Shaw said he knew DeBoer "professionally", but not that well otherwise before speaking with him several times before being hired.
"I'll have to get a lot more familiar with him," Shaw said.

What's Alice watching through the cellar window? What's the constant mechanical noise? Nobody, nothing, she's just haunted by the awful noise in her head when she thinks about the long summer vacation ahead. What a waste of time: parents surround you, worse than jailers, with whom you have nothing in common except for the deadly silence of every meal; docility and passivity reign, as does constant suspicion. Teenage girls' dreams are bloody, and Alice is truly a teenager, who drags her docility and apparent passivity around like the underwear that always trails around her ankles. What she drags around like a dead weight is, in fact, this eternal adolescence, this deep suffering… Until she meets Jim.
Alice (Charlotte Alexandre) returns home to the country for summer vacation. She's a teenage girl, a real one, simultaneously soft and hard, with a languid lack of finish. Caught between a frustrated mother and libidinous father, she allows summer boredom to penetrate her. She fantasizes, becoming obsessed with the body, with organs, guts, blood and sperm and even the red ink of her diary. And sex, a man's sex – that object of inevitable desire and unspeakable terror. One of her father's laborers (played by Hiram Keller, from Fellini's Satyricon) crystallizes her desire – she smiles as he puts a live earthworm up her vagina, she crawls for him with a feather in her derriere like a submissive chicken. Breillat shrank from nothing. Rarely has "what teen girls dream of" been shown so close up, with such brutal accuracy. It goes far, venturing into slimy, innocent obscenity. The dialogue is often inaudible, drowned out by noise. But however imperfect, Alice's voyage to the non-wonderland of lustful adults is worth the trip. Less developed, sophisticated and clever than "Romance," this film is a dated, ill-bred object, yet is ultimately rather affecting. The most startling thing is that, in what is now a rare decision, it has been restricted to viewers aged 16 or over. Which is all to its honor.

"This is the biggest thing to happen since Gorbachev was here," Glyn Milburn said at the time.
Cal, San Jose State, Stanford and 49ers all played parts in the drama. By the time it was over, the region's coaching landscape had seen drastic changes. The effects live on to this day.
In Berkeley, Bruce Snyder had bolted for Arizona State, lured by a huge pay raise and spurned by failed promises of a contract extension with the Bears. Dennis Green's three-year stay at Stanford ended when he took over the Minnesota Vikings. The 49ers – stewing from missing the playoffs for the first time in nine years – needed a new offensive coordinator. The departed Mike Holmgren had left to be head coach of the Green Bay Packers.
And where would Steve Mariucci end up? Cal's offensive coordinator under Snyder had no less than six offers to consider since losing out to Keith Gilbertson for the position of head coach along the Hayward Fault. San Francisco needed an assistant, but Mooch wound up joining Holmgren in Green Bay, where the pair would soon trade for a new starting quarterback from Mississippi.
On The Farm, Ted Leland faced his first big coaching hire as Stanford's athletic director. He seemed to have two logical candidates to choose from: offensive coordinator Ron Turner or defensive general Willie Shaw, both of whom had served for the duration of Green's stay. A third candidate entered the mix, once he was contacted by a prominent Stanford booster, Tom Ford.
Bill Walsh already had a job as a color commentator for NBC. The marquee value the gig – he and Dick Enberg formed the network's top broadcasting duo – couldn't diminish his desire to return to coaching, however. A day before he was to depart for Buffalo to call the AFC championship game, he talked at length by phone with Leland. Stanford's vacancy was the topic. Walsh, while also mulling over a front office job offer from the 49ers, assured Leland he was serious about the Cardinal.
Two days later, Walsh interviewed at Stanford. The next night, Leland made the offer. Walsh then contacted Terry Shea and invited the affable San Jose State head coach to become his offensive coordinator. Shea, who had led the Spartans to more wins over a two-year stretch than any coach since, had his own offer ("Can you make me assistant head coach?"). It was official by the next day, a Wednesday.
Local news outlets, who assumed for days Walsh was on his way back the 49ers, hardly knew what hit them. The Spartans scrambled and hired Turner. Shaw was despondent over going from a prime candidate for his first head coaching job to the unemployment dole.
"It all happened so fast," Shea said at the time.
"Welcome Home Coach Walsh! Rose Bowl '92-'93" read a sign at Wednesday night's basketball game between Stanford and Cal at Maples Pavilion.
The triumphant return was presented to the public on Thursday, January 16. The venue was Burnham Pavilion, where hundreds gathered to watch the 60-year-old coaching deity assume power. The audience of luminaries included Roger Craig, Eddie DeBartolo and Carmen Policy. The San Francisco Chronicle called the spectacle "part prom, part wedding and part family reunion."
Walsh quipped and joked his way through much of the press conference. He made digs at USC and reminisced about his living room recruiting visits of years gone by. He'd be back on that old recruiting trail the next day. The coach with three Super Bowl titles was soon in Bakersfield, securing the services of prep offensive line standout Jeff Buckey. "I did have some second thoughts, some post-decision trauma," Walsh admitted years later.
When Green took over in the wake of Jack Elway's firing, Stanford football was a mess. He immediately turned things around, beating No. 1 Notre Dame in 1990 before leading the Cardinal to an 8-4 record the following season. Walsh – who made Denny part of initial Stanford staff back in 1977 – made sure his predecessor received credit.
"I don't know of another man who could have come to Stanford and do the job he did," Walsh told the audience. "Denny brought it up to the national level. It's up to Terry and I to sustain it." They'd elevate to new heights. The club's 10-3 finish and No. 9 final AP ranking in 1992 stood as a high-water mark only eclipsed recently by the 2010 Cardinal.
One of Jim Harbaugh's many attributes is his embrace of the Walsh legacy. The guru succumbed to leukemia the summer before Harbaugh began his Cardinal tenure. "I really know Bill Walsh was here tonight," Harbaugh said after beating San Jose State for his first win at Stanford. That presence was bigger than ever this week 19 years ago.

London architect Jon Beswick, 27, has left the UK on an epic 48,000km overland trip circumnavigating Africa, during which he and his travel partner, strategy consultant Charlie Curtis, will build shelters for HIV clinics and raise money for UK charity One to One Children's Fund. Until 24 February, Jon was working as a project architect for Sacks Maguire Architects on high-end residential projects in Belgravia and Hampstead with construction budgets of £2,000,000. The budget for each shelter, which he is designing, is only a few hundred pounds and will pay for local labour and materials. Over the next few months Jon will be writing a diary for WAN as his adventure continues...
It's been a long and extremely hard month and once again I'm writing in darkness. Unlike the cafe in Gibraltar, this isn't a power cut…there is simply no power. I'm now vehicle-less in Guinea, in a mud hut with no running water, no power, no central heating, in fact very little at all. Since leaving Gibraltar, Charlie and I caught a ferry into Morocco, then drove through Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Senegal (again), Guinea Bissau and into Guinea. On route the scenery has changed from arid desert to topical forests with everything in between. Along our journey, I have recorded, sketched, visited and slept in local dwellings, which always adapt to meet these hugely varied climatic conditions. I'm constantly amazed by the ingenuity of the locals to construct and mediate the harsh conditions that they live in, with nothing but the materials found around them. In some cases I've seen shelters that have been constructed out of cars and washing machines…a sad reflection of the genius loci of urbanisation.
Most of us are aware of the romantic images associated with Moroccan Kasbahs and the Bedouin tents of the indigo clad Berbers. The tent is a hugely important structure all across the Sahara, spread originally by the nomadic camel traders. Strips of cloth are sewn together on ground looms or by hand, originally made of goat hair, we now see brilliant white canvases reflecting the desert sun. These are held in tension with anchored ropes, the number of which varies depending on the size. Either one central pole or a ridge (to prevent pole piercing the fabric) gives the tent shape. The fabric creates a dark and cool space inside and contracts in the wet to protect its inhabitants. Beduin tents in the Atlas Mountains have steeper pitches for snow than the flatter variants in the Mauritanian desert.
Although technically part of Morocco, Western Sahara is a totally different animal when it comes to shelter. Saharan sands blow across its bulk meeting the sea all the way down its length. It is the juxtaposition of the sea meeting the desert that has produced mini fortresses at Guiluem. All the way along the coast, fishermen cast lines off the cliffs and shelter in rocks, driftwood, fishing netting and other spoils from the sea. All the shelters are small boxes with walls constructed of rocks from the desert or driftwood from the sea. There are no windows due to high winds and the entrances are small and sealed with driftwood. The roofs are typically tarpaulin or sacking and tied directly to the walls with rope and or fishing net. Some are totally covered in netting and resemble the fish that end up inside them.
There's a local saying that there's so much sand in Mauritania that it permeates your soul. With a tiny population and a lot of desert, the architecture isn't pretentious but shelters Mauritanians from the ferocious Saharan sun and sand. Like the rest of the Sahara the nomadic tent is commonplace but equally so is the wooden shack and less commonly mud bricked houses with pitched roofs. Buildings are the most dilapidated we've seen and appear to be thrown together in haste out of anything that can be salvaged from land or sea. With no vegetation there is a distinct lack of building materials here and it is here in the populated capital Nouakchott that houses are constructed of rubbish. Mechanics live in car boxes, washing machines and old tyres form walls and every building is totally different except for the basic necessity of providing shade.
The climatic change from Mauritania to Senegal is stark. Senegal is broken with mangroves, huge reserves and is far lusher than its neighbour Mauritania. Consequently houses on stilts aren't uncommon especially around the mangrove areas. The majority of other dwellings are square mud huts with almost domed thatched roofs. The roofs are constructed from stick frames and thatched on the ground, built up in layers to water proof and underlined with empty sacks. The size and square shapes of the buildings are far more uniform than in The Gambia for instance due to the size restriction of the thatched roofs. Walls are either stacked mud bricks, reeds on a wooden frame or left open on a timber-framed structure to simply provide shade. Like every country we've visited modern structures are concrete frame boxes erected cheaply and quickly. A three bedroom house here can be built for £1000.
The British influence in the Gambia is startling. Houses are much closer in appearance to Western style homes. They are larger, rectangular in plan with larger windows and doors. Roofs are so commonly clad in corrugated on steel or wooden A-frames. I'm informed there is a large corrugated-iron factory in the Gambia and sheets are cheap. Even in the country villages use the iron sheets on line houses to provide shelter for as many as twenty people.
Architecturally Guinea Bissau is very similar to Guinea. It's the first tropical rainforest district we've driven through. Dwellings outside the capital are mainly of the mud hut, thatched roof variety. Roofs overhang and extend almost to the floor providing covered shelter outside. Locals congregate under these awnings, which are propped up on thick wooden props. Missing mud bricks provide airflow and limited light, as windows seem to be non-existent. We stayed in one such hut near Igore, inside the dwelling was dark and cool with beds carefully positioned around a central food and tea preparating area. There is a wide range of shapes and sizes of hut here but almost all are constructed of thatch on mud bricks that have been dried in the sun.
As one of the poorest of the countries in Africa, Guinea it is one of the most exciting countries architecturally. Outside the corrugated iron slums of the capital Conakry, the majority of the population live in basic mud huts without running water, electricity or paved roads. In the small village near Koumbia a local man shows us around his house which is under construction. Circular in form, with mud brick walls and a thatched roof, it is typical of the houses in this area. What is exciting for me is, that this group of houses (for an extended family), displays the first exterior decoration we've seen. The mud brick walls are plastered externally with mud and water dug from a large hole in the ground only meters away. Different coloured sands have then been used to paint patterns on each of the dwellings. The house under construction is larger and consists of a circular wall within a circular wall. The inner area is for living/ cooking while the exterior ring is for sleeping. Shaped air vents in the exterior wall provide cooling. The owner informs us it will take just three weeks to construct; they are rushing to finish before the rainy season.
The relentless pursuit of the identification of typologies in vernacular architecture is as prevalent as classification of styles in the history of architectural discourse. The very nature of vernacular architecture inhibits its classification as the vernacular depends on tradition, social norms, domestic priorities, climate and the availability of skills and materials. These factors vary country-to-country, region-to-region, village-to-village and even family-to-family within villages. Grouping the architecture of Guinea Bissau into type for example can be reduced to a few, I was told a Swedish team recently identified 6 major form types consisting of sub categories within them. I suspect they would have found even less in Guinea as the mud-bricked hut is so widespread, but this ignores the subtle but important variations from village to village. As mentioned, huts are commonly grouped together by family and often architectural tools identify these clans. Walls are painted with family motifs, ventilation holes again form identifying patterns, even the men are scarred with lines on their temples to identify tribes. Different pitched roofs depend on rain volume, and wall colour depends on the adjacent mud. There are millions of slight variants which arise from the personal preferences of the inhabitants.
The other major problem with type is that these African villages are changing faster than at anytime in history. While retaining tradition styles and shapes, technological advances are beginning to have a huge impact. The spread of mobile phones and the Internet is rapid, Internet access can be found in huts powered by generators. Many of us think of vernacular architecture as villages of mud huts, in the middle of tropical forests but urbanisation is also affecting vernacular styles. Urbanisation is a modern trend that will only continue to grow. For the poor living in urban squalor, construction of shelter has the same priorities as their tropical forest relatives. The only difference is, that instead of using adjacent mud they use adjacent rubbish from cars, to washing machines, to cardboard, to old train carriages. Just as important as the supporting infrastructure of the road network are the huge communities in Africa living next to train tracks who provide various supporting services to the rail industry.
In every country we've visited the dilapidation and deterioration of buildings is prevalent. In the West there is a tendency to overbuild, mass and wall size exceed the everyday live load requirements from people, wind etc. As a result western buildings tend to last, in poorer African countries buildings tend to be 'under built'… if finished at all. This is partly to protect inhabitants during failure, partly if structures are temporary, such as the nomadic Berbers and partly due to lack of resources. The biggest problems faced by African builders and all vernacular buildings are a result of the dead load of the roof, it's weight carried by the walls. The resulting movement is mainly left untreated and buildings continue to be occupied until collapse. In the desert in Mauritania we often saw the timber shacks approaching 45-degree angles, in Guinea mud walls buckle until large holes in walls demand attention. The Western approach to this age old problem is often to triangulate using a 'tie beam'. Here I have yet to see any form of lateral restraint because it inhibits usable space. The vernacular solution is to use lightweight roofs and heavy weight walls. When failure does occur, possibly as a result of the rainy season, the problem area can be quickly rebuilt. Often I've seen second roofs that have been erected on the ground, ready to be lifted onto walls to replace the old. The other main advantage of the heavy walled construction is its inherent thermal mass mediates climatic fluctuations. Visiting these dwellings I for one am grateful and impressed by the effectiveness of their ability to protect their inhabitants.

Hey there,
since having the V6 I may invest slightly in it to make it as bombproof as I can.
Has already had new cambelt and rollers just before I bought it, but I was also under the impression that the oil to water cooler under the inlet manifold is another weak point, and when it goes it warps both heads (mmmmmm cheap).
So my question is this..... is this a freak occurence or should I be genuinely worried and shell out on an air to oil cooler (or use the spare XE one I have in the shed)??
as far as I can see its a relatively easy changeover apart from fiddling with pipes.
Is the oil feed for the cooler thermostatically controller or always on BTW?

Cruising Yachts is the new Dealer for the Bali Catamaran line by the Catana Group. We cover all of the west coast and Mexico so if you are interested in learning more about this New Innovative line of Catamarans please contact us for details.
BALI catamarans were designed to meet the needs of yachtsmen looking to sail with maximum living space, comfort and safety. For this the CATANA yard brought a particular skill to the design of revolutionary range of catamarans, with innovative ideas as yet unseen in this sector and which break with maritime tradition.
With its vast, unhindered interior and exterior living spaces, an optimal level of self-sufficiency and a pioneering nature, the range of Bali Catamarans is offering new pleasures and sensations to yachtsmen turning their backs on tradition and who want to realise their dreams.
Introduction of the new Bali Catamaran
BALI 4.0 lounge
Innovation: Space, opened up and with a panoramic view over the sea
The BALI 4.0 is characterized by a single cockpit / saloon area, entirely flush and unencumbered by bulkheads, accessible via an immense folding glass door on electric rams. So in the blink of an eye you can switch from Cosy mode to Lounge mode, with a panoramic view over the sea…
Relaxation: Sailing and fun in Lounge mode
A forward cockpit with dining area as well as an immense sunbathing area in place of the traditional trampoline
Extra living space with sunbathing area on the coachroof
Comfort: when the interior becomes the exterior
As with its big brothers, the BALI 4.5 Open Space and the BALI 4.3 Loft, the BALI 4.0 enjoys an extraordinary amount of natural light. The large retractable windows bring an unequalled freshness into the saloon as well as a panoramic view. The many hatches in the hulls ensure exceptional natural ventilation.
Its technical equipment will satisfy the most exacting sailors, and then for the most exacting cook, forward is the latest generation fitted galley allowing you to cook with a sea view.
Practical: A unique level of self-sufficiency for a 40 footer
With tanks for up to 800 litres of water and 400 litres of diesel, an American-style fridge, an outsized battery bank, all controlled using a multiplexing touch screen with integrated tutorial, the latest generation fitted galley and its light weight (8.6 T), the BALI 4.0 will take you further than you ever dreamed possible.

Based on this philosophy, BALI catamarans will be launching the BALI 4.0 LOUNGE at the 2015 Cannes Boat Show. Drawing on the innovations seen on the 4.3 Loft - oversized and entirely open living spaces with forward cockpit and sunbathing area, uniquely self-sufficient in power, meticulously built and at competitive prices - the BALI 4.0 Lounge will complete the BALI Catamarans range, making them accessible to a high number of yachtsmen.
And with all the safety and performance you would expect from CATANA.

It can be stated simply: The University of Oregon is currently home to the strongest college sports program in the United States.
Not Alabama. Not Texas. Not LSU, Michigan, USC, Ohio State, Florida, Oklahoma nor Nebraska.
Measured by performance, the best college athletic program today, right now, is the good ol' green-and-yellow-and-black-and-white-and-liquid-metal Oregon Ducks.
To paraphrase one of our idols, Charles Dickens: These are the best of times, ever, for University of Oregon sports. It is the age of wisdom. It is the epoch of belief. It is the season of Light.
For your consideration:
Football team under Chip Kelly has been the Pac 10-12 conference football champions three years running, including two Rose Bowls and one National Championship game. Predicted by one national sage to play and beat LSU in this years BCS Championship.
Baseball team currently ranked No. 1 in RPI and almost certain to host a regional (and if they win that, a super-regional, and if they win that, a trip to Omaha) in only their 4th year of infancy/resurrection under George Horton.
Oregon Women's Softball team under Mike White is heading to its third straight Super Regional in the NCAA playoffs.
Men's Golf under Casey Martin is, in two weeks, going to its fourth NCAA Championships in six years. The women's golf team under Ria Scott went to Regionals, missed the Championships by one stroke and finished No. 21 in the country.
The Women's Acrobatics and Tumbling team under Felicia Mulkey recently won their 2nd consecutive National Championship.
Women's Cross Country track team finished 5th in 2011 NCAA Championships.
Women's Volleyball under Jim Moore made it to the first round of the NCAA playoffs.
Woman's Lacrosse under Jen Larsen-Beck won the program's first Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament and then lost in overtime in a play-in game for the NCAA tournament.
Oregon Men' s Basketball under Dana Altman has won the CBI and gone to the NIT in his first two years as coach, after most of existing team left.
Men's Tennis under Nils Schyllander had their best season since 1994-95, and were ranked as high as No. 38.
And let us take a moment to acknowledge the dominant, enduring legacy of the Oregon Track teams, including Cross Country. If they ever carve a Mt. Rushmore for Track coaches Vin Lanana will surely be one of the faces etched in stone. He is Zeus on the mountain top.
Hayward Field is and apparently always will be the holiest of shrines for the sport. I suppose the good people of Texas A&M and maybe Arkansas,Tennessee, Florida State, UCLA and LSU and a precious few others may sit at the table with us but let's all admit that Hayward Field is sacred ground.
I couldn't find the exact quote on the internet, but there was an article during the 2009 US Olympic Team trials that said something to the effect of "Like many others, when Track and Field wants to get back to its fundamental spiritual roots it goes to church."
For fans and athletes of the sport, Hayward Field is a pilgrimage.
So we conclude: Top-to-bottom, when it comes to the roster of coaches, the facilities (the money and resources poured into U of O athletic facilities in the last half-dozen years is a whole 'nother column), and most important, the tangible, measurable results, everybody else better Duck.
