The Corvette was produced for just one year in Flint before moving to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1954. Production remained in St. Louis until 1981, at which point the Corvette moved to its current home in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Interestingly, that production shifted occurred mid-year, so the first batch of 1981 Corvettes was made in St. Louis while later 1981 model year cars were built in Kentucky.
Thanks to its six-decades of longevity, the Corvette is the world's longest-running, continuously produced passenger car. The Corvette is second on the list when all types of vehicles are considered, trailing Chevrolet's own Suburban utility vehicle.
Corvette will mark its 60th anniversary with an all-new C7 model, due out in dealer showrooms later this year.

Department of Justice... Ha!
Attorney General Is Closely Linked to Inquiry Figures Karl Rove, President Bush (news - web sites)'s top political adviser, whose possible role in the case has raised questions, was a paid consultant to three of Mr. Ashcroft's campaigns in Missouri, twice for governor and for United States senator, in the 1980's and 1990's, an associate of Mr. Rove said on Wednesday. Jack Oliver, the deputy finance chairman of Mr. Bush's 2004 re-election campaign, was the director of Mr. Ashcroft's 1994 Senate campaign, and later worked as Mr. Ashcroft's deputy chief of staff. No wonder 69% of Americans think that an independent counsel should conduct the investigation.

Threat of 'dirty bomb' softened Attorney General John Ashcroft on Monday overstated the potential threat posed by "dirty bomb" suspect Abdullah Al Muhajir, Bush administration and law enforcement officials said Tuesday. Ashcroft's remarks annoyed the White House and led the administration to soften the government's descriptions of the alleged plot. "I don't think there was actually a plot beyond some fairly loose talk and (Al Muhajir's) coming in here obviously to plan further deeds," Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz told CBS on Tuesday. So, does this mean he'll actually get treated like an American citizen and get to see a lawyer?

Congo braces for possible volcanic eruptioncomment (0)
January 28, 2010
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Central Africa is bracing for a possible volcanic eruption.
Mount Nyamuragira in eastern DRC started spewing lava Jan. 2, threatening residents, wildlife, livestock and crops on or near the mountain.
The lava flows are not known to have threatened large populated areas, but there are fears that a more massive eruption is imminent. Wildlife, especially chimpanzees, in the Virunga National Park, where the volcano is located, is especially at risk.
The Union of Baptist Churches in Congo (UEBCO) informed the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) that people in the mountains of Masisi, a town and administrative district close to the volcano, have already suffered from the spewing ash and flowing lava. The villages of Kausa, Kalonge, Nyamule, Musongati and Buramo, among others, have been particularly affected.
"Dust from Nyamulagira volcano has damaged plants such as maize, sorghum and beans," the report from the UEBCO said. The upcoming harvest has been destroyed, and the people in the affected areas "will be facing severe hunger," the BWA member body reported.
Chemicals in the ash and rock fragments pose possible health risks, even in areas that are farther away from the mountain, threatening to contaminate food and water.
Already drinking water sources such as open springs and rainwater catchments in several villages, including Sake, Kingi and Rusayo, contain unacceptably high levels of chemicals.
There has been an increase in the number of reported cases of diarrhea and eye diseases among residents, as well as deaths among domestic animals.
Mount Nyamuragira is one of Africa's most active volcanos and has erupted more than 30 times since 1880. (BWA)

Goals win hockey games. In the long history of the NHL, there have been countless goals scored, but here is a look at the 25 most memorable.
There are many ways for a goal to be "memorable." It can be the skill and excitement exhibited on the play itself—a great move by player that just makes your jaw drop. It can be a milestone goal, setting a new record or it can be a goal that wins a playoff game or even a Stanley Cup.
Any list like this is bound to cause some controversy. My readers know me, so please, bring it! Discussing these lists is always part of the fun. Let me know what you think of this list and any you feel that I missed or deserved inclusion, but please say why.
Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy the 25 most unforgettable goals in NHL history.

At least 52 people died when a bus full of passengers plunged into a ravine in the southern Peruvian region of Cuzco, local authorities said Saturday.
A local prosecutor, Juan Carlos Valverde, told RPP Noticias that up to now 52 deaths have been reported and that the bus crashed Friday night as it was transporting passengers home from a religious celebration.
Though at first it was reported that 30 people had died, the mayor of the Santa Teresa district, Ruben Pinto, later contacted RPP Noticias to say that authorities were working to identify 52 victims that had been found up to the moment.
"Unfortunately they are brother peasants who have lost their lives. The city of Santa Teresa was not prepared for an accident of such magnitude," Pinto said.
The truck plunged into a 200-meter (650-foot) ravine in a very rugged part of the Cuzco region, where relatives of the victims went on Saturday.
"The vehicle was left trapped in a stream of the Yanatile River; there are no survivors," Valverde said.
He added that among the fatalities were several minors.
Transport accidents occur frequently in the Peruvian mountains leaving scores of dead and injured, above all from drivers' carelessness, the use of trucks and buses in a poor state of repair, and the need to travel rural highways constructed over the precipitous Andean terrain. EFE

This slideshow will include all of the information that a fan needs in order to prepare for the series between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. It is a three-game set over the weekend and most Yankees fans are hoping that it could end up being a series in which the team will win, possibly even sweep. We will see about that.
New York Yankees Series Preview vs. Seattle Mariners
By Raul Rodriguez ,
The Seattle Mariners are currently riding a seven-game winning streak. That sounds all high and mighty, but one ought to look at the teams that they have beaten up on, which are the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays, all in Seattle.
Now the team comes over to New York to face the first place Yankees. Pitchers like Hisashi Iwakuma and Felix Hernandez have pitched awfully well against the Toronto Blue Jays, as well as in their past starts. It just so happens that the New York Yankees face those two starters this time around.
In their last three starts, both CC Sabathia and Kevin Millwood have produced so-so numbers, as they are above four in ERA during that span (Sabathia is 4.26 and Millwood is at 4.96 in that period of time).
When Millwood faced the Yankees last, he allowed three runs. When you add this start to a May start, in which he allowed only one earned run against the Bombers, you can tell that Millwood has had success against New York.
However, CC has a microscopic 1.26 ERA against the M's. After a rough last start against the Boston Red Sox, look for CC Sabathia to be on his game in an attempt to rebound.
Couple that with the most anemic offense in the league, and the New York Yankees ought to come out of this one with a win.
In his last three starts against the New York Yankees, Felix Hernandez is 1-2 with a bloated 5.40 ERA.
On the flip side, Hiroki Kuroda is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last three starts against Seattle. Kuroda's last start was a gem against Boston, with only two earned runs allowed.
Felix had a very similar stat line in his last start against the Kansas City Royals. However, I am pretty sure Hiroki's last start outweighs King Felix's. Sorry.
All in all, the Yankees should come out of this game with a W because Felix just has not performed well against the team at all this year. I honestly do not see a way Hiroki loses against the Seattle offense, unless he's just not feeling his split finger or something.
Honestly, I wish the New York Yankees would have picked up Hisashi Iwakuma during the offseason because he would have been a very solid back of the rotation guy. New York just has not figured him out, as he has a 1.80 ERA against the team this year.
Freddy Garcia, on the other hand, has had an average time dealing with the Seattle Mariners offense, with a 3.60 ERA in his last three starts and a 1-1 record.
With these performances in mind, the matchup might seem like a toss-up, right? Sure, but there are other numbers that decide this ballgame.
Hisashi Iwakuma has a 1.89 ERA and 1-0 record in his last three starts, as compared to a Sweaty Freddy ERA of 4.74 and record of 0-3. Funny thing is that these starts were against the A's, M's and O's.
I see Seattle leaving New York with a win because Iwakuma has just pitched too well lately. There is a chance that the Yankees figure him out, especially after just seeing him last week.
Overall, I predict that the New York Yankees win two out of three in this home set against the Seattle Mariners, but there is a chance that the team can sweep. I see the offense coming alive drastically, as the team has seen these three Seattle pitchers in this same exact order at the end of July. Hopefully, the hitters are used to their styles and will not have trouble adjusting.
The big guy above is another huge story I cannot wait to see! Jabba the Hut is looking to use the series against Seattle as a major stepping stone. It is honestly going to be another tuneup, as he looks to regain confidence by hopefully beating up on a dreadful offense. Maybe we see him step into a seventh-inning role after this game.

|[TowerTalk] FAA form 7560-1 question
|firstname.lastname@example.com (D. Douglas Rehman)
|Thu Jun 26 21:41:42 2003
You might want to call the regional office for your area and discuss it with them. I am going through the process with the Atlanta office and found them to be easy to work with (so far anyway...). I have a 3500' grass strip "airport" runway 900' due south of my 9 acres. (There are only about a half dozen take-offs/landings per week. I keep hoping that they will sell the land to a developer.) There is a considerable amount of mature pine and oak (60'-70') between the runway and me. I attached five or six 8.5" x 11" photos of the trees (seen from the proposed tower site, seen from the end of the runway, etc.) and a satellite map that shows my property and the runway. I asked for 70', unlit/unmarked; we'll see what they approve... (It has only been about 30 days.) For the frequencies to be used, I initially wrote something to the effect of all amateur radio bands. They faxed me a request for more detail, so I made a table of all of the amateur bands from 1.8 MHz to 1240 MHz, showing an ERP based upon maximum legal power and reasonable antenna gain. I guess that must have satisfied them, as I haven't gotten another request for more details. Doug K4DDR

Annual Report
Press ReleaseJanuary 31, 2007Rachael Smith(843) 792-7694FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEAbney Foundation gift to advance cancer researchCharleston, SC - The Abney Foundation has contributed a $500,000 gift to the Medical University of South Carolina, enabling the university's Hollings Cancer Center to strengthen and expand a program to train cancer researchers.The donation will allow the center to expand The Abney Foundation Scholarship Program, which The Abney Foundation established in 1996 to promote cancer research at the Medical University.The program provides scholarships for graduate students involved in cancer research, as well as students enrolled in the Medical University's M.D./Ph.D. program, which allows them to earn a medical degree from the College of Medicine and a degree from the College of Graduate Studies with a special interest in cancer research.In both programs, students are trained to bridge the gap between research and medicine, learning how to cultivate new knowledge and apply that knowledge to an ever-higher level of patient care. In that sense, the programs serve as an important training ground for medical researchers who will spend much of their careers working to develop new treatments - and ultimately a cure - for cancer, said Andrew Kraft, M.D., director of Hollings Cancer Center."South Carolina has some of the highest rates of cancer death in the nation, and it is estimated that over 9,000 people will die in our state this year because of the disease," said Kraft. "The Abney Scholars are the future of cancer research. They are the individuals who will help change these grim statistics."The Abney Foundation has continued to support the scholarship program because of their confidence in the scholars and the research progress they have made since the program's inception, said Carl T. Edwards, executive director of The Abney Foundation."The Foundation initially committed to this research scholarship program because we believed it to be a direct and effective way we could contribute to seeking a cure for cancer," said Edwards. "Over the 10 years since we established this endowed fund, we've had many opportunities to meet with the Abney Research Scholars and their leaders to discuss their work. We continue to be impressed with the dedication and high level of competence of the researchers and their leadership, and believe that funding this program is a worthy and effective use of our resources."To date, The Abney Foundation has invested $4.2 million in its scholarship fund at the Medical University, which will enable the fund to provide full scholarships for at least eight students and partial scholarships for at least seven students each year. The foundation has contributed an additional $1.7 million in support to other educational, research and patient-care initiatives at the university."Over the past 50 years, The Abney Foundation has demonstrated a special commitment to helping raise the standards of health for the citizens of our state and beyond, and we are honored to have been a partner in that effort," said Medical University President Dr. Ray Greenberg. "On behalf of our students and patients, we would like to express our profound gratitude to The Abney Foundation's Board of Directors for their continued support."Founded in 1957, The Abney Foundation supports organizations that are operated exclusively for educational, religious, charitable, scientific, and literary purposes. To date, the Anderson, S.C.-based foundation has awarded more than $36 million to such causes.

Communities around the world are faced with the threat of disasters on a daily basis. National governments, local government associations, international, regional and civil society organisations, donors, the private sector, academia and professional associations as well as every citizen needs to be engaged in reducing their risk to disasters. All these stakeholders must play their part in contributing to building disaster resilient communities. Despite this, research and evidence based knowledge about the need for and benefits of disaster risk reduction are both poor and underutilized. We need to find mechanisms that apply scientific evidence and knowledge in policy and decision-making.
The 2013 International Conference on Building Resilience will encourage debate on individual, institutional and societal coping strategies to address the challenges associated with disaster risk. As a country subject to several large-scale disasters in recent years, including the 2004 Tsunami and a civil war spanning several decades, Sri Lanka provides an ideal setting to explore the challenge of creating resilient communities and cities.
This event will build upon the successful 2011 International Conference on Building Resilience, which was held in association with the launch of The Making Cities Resilient: 'My City is getting ready!' campaign, which addresses issues of local governance and urban risk. The 2013 Conference will continue to support the campaign focus areas up to and beyond 2015, including city-to-city learning and capacity building, and an emphasis on partnerships.
The scientific committee welcomes contributions from researchers, policy makers and practitioners. These contributions may be in the form of research papers, practice notes or case studies. Please see overleaf for a detailed list of conference themes.
All congress documentation, including an ISBN printed Book of Abstracts and ISBN e-proceedings of Full Papers, and attendance at all sessions on 17th, 18th and 19th September 2013.
To register, please, visit the official page online. The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is 31st January 2013.

The waterproof and breathable Conness GTX hiking boot from The North Face offers a lightweight, full-coverage profile that easily fits both tasks while comfortably managing pack loads weighing up to 50 lbs. This is a practical and highly affordable reason to leave your clunky mountaineering boots whenever you want to spend less than a week on the AP or PCT. The North Face Conness GTX boots feature comfortable Outlast footbeds and X-2 padding along the heels. Like the lighter, low-slung Bryce from The North Face, the Conness GTX boot has a TPU shank plate with flex notches throughout the forefoot for articulation on uneven terrain, so the ride is better even when the pack is fully loaded. Waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex booties help keep elements on the outside throughout your adventure.

Billinger, SA, Loudon, JK, and Gajewski, BJ. Validity of a total body recumbent stepper exercise test to assess cardiorespiratory fitness. J Strength Cond Res 22(5):1556-1562, 2008-Maximum oxygen consumption (V̇o2max) is the primary measure for cardiorespiratory fitness, and the V̇o2max value achieved on the treadmill using the Bruce protocol is considered the gold standard. A novel exercise test using a total body recumbent stepper (TBRS) would be an alternative for measuring V̇o2max in healthy individuals. Furthermore, the TBRS exercise test (TBRS-XT) may be beneficial for individuals such as those with stroke, who cannot tolerate a treadmill or cycle ergometer test due to hemiparesis, increased tone in the extremities, or balance deficits. The purpose of the study was to assess the validity and reliability of the TBRS-XT in determining V̇o2max in healthy adults. Twenty-two healthy adults (9 women, 13 men; 26.9 ± 6.1 years of age) participated in 2 maximum exercise tests in random order. One exercise test was performed on the treadmill using the Bruce protocol and the other exercise test was the TBRS-XT. Statistical analysis of the data was conducted using simple linear regression where the response variable was the V̇o2max from the Bruce protocol and the predictor variable was the V̇o2max from the TBRS-XT. A 95% prediction interval was used to assess the strength of the prediction of V̇o2 from the Bruce protocol with R2 = 0.851. Preliminary data suggest that the TBRS-XT may be a valid test to predict V̇o2max when treadmill testing is not feasible. This would allow clinicians an alternative method for exercise testing and prescription to promote healthy lifestyle interventions for a variety of patient populations.

I just posted 8 street shots from Zagreb on my blog. Nice bunch of photos above.
A bit of a diamond in the rough, Šibenik is a city that quietly invited us to stroll in a pleasantly-aimless fashion. Situated near Croatia's stunning Dalmatian Coast and Krka National Park, we didn't find an abundance of things to do in Šibenik, but that just added to its charm. Instead, our afternoon was filled mingling with locals and a friendly feline, and people-watching moments from the window of a cozy café. Children skipped by with a red balloon in hand, or played on the centuries-old lions that guard the town's famous cathedral which acted as the backdrop for the action. Šibenik is the oldest Croatian town on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea, whereas other cities along the coast were founded by the Romans, Greeks and Illyrians.
The Cathedral of St. James is Šibenik's crown jewel, and is considered to be one of the most important Renaissance monuments in all of Croatia. Built entirely from stone, the church also possesses quirky characteristics – most notably the more than 70 faces of adults and children from centuries past. The cathedral was built between 1431 and 1535 marrying both Gothic and Renaissance elements and it demonstrates the exchange of ideas that took place between Northern Italy, Tuscany, and Croatia's Dalmatia region in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2000.
The town has four fortresses including the seaside St. Nicholas Fortress (Tvrđava Sv. Nikole), as well as the Tvrđava Sv. Mihovila (St. Michael's), Tvrđava Sv. Ivana, and Tvrđava Šubićevac. We ascended the hill to St. Michael's Fortress, only to find that it was undergoing construction. This allowed us to mingle with a pregnant cat in the neighboring cemetery, while taking in the area's magnificent views of the sparkling water below.

This Basketball season has been marked by the play of the Freshman.
Freshmen phenoms such as John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, and Derrick Favors have dominated the basketball landscape with acrobatic layups, throw down slams, and ridiculous blocked shots.
But by this time next year, all three of these "One and Dones" will be driving their luxurious sports cars to work every day, not even thinking about what could have been in their sophomore seasons.
Here is a list of 10 freshmen that could have breakout sophomore seasons.

Depending on a number of different variables, NBA teams approach each draft—and specifically, each one of their picks—in one of two ways.
Some franchises draft for need, while others choose the most talented prospect left on their board. But in every case, each team's goal is to draft a player whom will fit in well (from both a basketball standpoint and otherwise) with their current roster.
While the rookies themselves don't have much of a say in their ultimate destination, there are the fortunate few that wind up on that one team out of 30 that's best tailored to their skill set. So with the 2012-13 season quickly approaching on the horizon, let's take a look at eight rookies who are in the best position for future NBA success.

By PT Staff, published on July 1, 1992 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016
In clinical interviews with a small group of athletes, I received some verydisturbing news about drug U#. One athlete, who demanded anonymity, reported believing that "deak are cut all the time with federations and national governing bodies. The big-gun athletes--the world-record holders and the medalists--get passed over in the drug testing, so that no scandak take place. That's why I was shocked when Ben Johnson got caught. I thought, My God, they caught a world-record holder! They caught the star of the Olympics! I couldn't believe he got caught. I thought somebody should have gotten him off or something. He's the biggest person in trackand.field history."
Many athletes were quite discouraged about the prolific use of anabolic steroids, HGH (human growth hormone), blood doping, and other performanceenhancement strategies. They recounted many horror stories about athletes who had trained most of their adult life for the olympic games, made the U S. team, and arrived on their competition day to find that their colleagues were using banned substances and beating them. Some athletes suggested that we hold two Olympics--one drug-induced and the other for those who test completed clean.
The general feeling among elite athletes is that most Olympians Both in the United States and abroad) are using performance-enhancement drugs, and that only a few great athletes in the world are not using them. Although the negative effects of steroid use are well known, the consensus is that many will use them anyway to achieve their athletic goals.
There is still much controversy surrounding illegal and unethical drug activity. In fact, as this piece went to press, a prominent German track and field athlete, Katrin Krabbe, was suspended for four years, along with two other sprint champions and their coach. A 100- and 200-meter gold medalist at the world championships, Krabbe had been manipulating drug testing procedures, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) disclosed.
Although all three athletes were suspected of steroid use for years, they were technically suspended only for manipulating the required urine samples during [unreadable] random drug test. [unreadable] long after, a noted German physician came forward and documented decades of anabolic-steroid use among some of the most famous olympic champions.
Yet steroids are only part of the picture when it comes to medications banned by the 10C. Over-the-counter (OTC) medications can also affect athletic preformance, and many of them, including analgesics, antithistamines, and decongestants are on the IOC's list of banned substance.
This summer, the biggest competitor some athletes will [unreadable] id allergy to [unreadable] pollens. These are revalent in the United States and will be abundant during the olympic games in Barcelona. The European variety of nettle even stronger than the U.U. variety, and [unreadable] therefore produce severe reactions. Three other weed at will be predominant in Barcelona are gweed, goosefoot, [unreadable] plantain.
Decongesttants that could releive the symptoms of such allergies are banned by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) because they stimulate and can enhance OTC antithistamines,performance. on the other hand, which can "impair" performance, are not banned.
According to Wade Exum, M.D., director of drug control administration for the USOC, elite athletes should take the cautious approach to using OTC medications. Using them, he reports, "is a double-edge sword, because the cost--to benefit ratio can easily tilt in the wrong direction." The symptomatic relief that initially enhances performance may be swiftly overshadowed by detrimental effects such as nervoussness, impaired concentration, or even elevated blood pressure or irrigular heartbeat.
Athletes preparing for the Olympics and considering the use of OTC medications to self-treat minor ailments are urged to contact the USOC Drug Education Program to obtain a guide to banned medications.

We discovered quite a few interesting technologies in the BIOS Setup of ASUS P5W DH Deluxe mainboard. First of all, I would like to mention EZ Flash 2 technology that implies that there is a special BIOS reflashing code integrated directly into the BIOS itself. Note that this utility can read reflashing files not only from floppies, but also from USB flash drives, which makes even more useful in the long run.
In case the BIOS reflashing still fails, there is CrashFree BIOS 3 that will come to rescue. It will restore the corrupted BIOS code from the file on your floppy disk or USB keychain.
Hardware monitoring is also implemented quite decently. Of course, ASUS P5W DH Deluxe allows monitoring the usual parameters such as CPU and environment temperature, major voltages and rotation speeds of five fans. However, ASUS P5W DH Deluxe can also adjust the fan rotation speeds basing on the status of the monitored parameters. This function is implemented with the help of Q-Fan 2 technology. Here I have to say that I had some concerns about the temperature measuring algorithms for the processor core. For some reason ASUS didn't use the data from the digital diodes built into the new Conroe processors. Instead they used an analogue thermal diode and moreover, the reported temperatures were considerably lower than the actual ones.
ASUS offers the traditional PC Probe II utility to monitor the mainboard status directly from Windows. This utility works great with the new platform.
And of course, they couldn't help implementing the AI NOS dynamic overclocking technology in the BIOS Setup. Unlike similar technologies from other manufacturers, AI NOS' decision whether or not to increase the processor frequency is based on the processor's power consumption rather than temperature. As a result, we get faster and more precise reaction to the actual situation. The mainboard also supports Intel Enhanced SpeedStep technology that can even be enabled together with AI NOS.
Automatic overclocking is good, but we are certainly much more interested to see how ASUS P5W DH Deluxe copes with manual processor overclocking. Luckily, the board offers a lot of overclocking-friendly options:
- Adjustable FSB frequency in the interval from 100MHz up to 450MHz;
- Independently adjustable PCI Express frequency in the interval from 90MHz to 150MHz;
- Possibility to lock the CPI frequency at the nominal value of 33.3MHz;
- Adjustable Vmem in the interval from 1.8V to 2.4V with 0.05V increment;
- Adjustable processor Vcore that can be set in the interval from the nominal value up to 1.7V with 0.0125V increment;
- Adjustable FSB Termination voltage that can vary from 1.2V to 1.5V with 0.1V increment;
- The voltage on the chipset North Bridge can be adjusted from 1.5V to 1.65V with 0.05V increment;
- The voltage on the chipset South Bridge can be set to 1.05V or 1.2V.
Unfortunately, despite this relatively long list of overclocking-friendly options of ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, they may not be enough in some cases. Our biggest concern is the relatively low maximum FSB frequency. Although 450MHz FSB may be more than enough during Celeron D, Pentium 4 or Pentium D overclocking, it will be fairly easy to hit the maximum when working with Core 2 Duo processors. The thing is that Core 2 Duo processors work at relatively low clock speeds, but use high bus frequency. As a result, we get very low clock speed multipliers, that are 7x and 8x by the youngest Conroe models respectively. Therefore, we may need to raise the bus frequency even higher than what the BIOS Setup of ASUS P5W DH Deluxe mainboard can offer us.
However, don't give way to despair: there is a solution to this problem. It is the well-known ClockGen utility that allows increasing the FSB frequency on ASUS P5W DH Deluxe up to 500MHz from Windows.
As for the other features that could be of interest to computer enthusiasts, we would like to mention the options for memory subsystem configuring. ASUS P5W DH Deluxe mainboard allows changing the major timings and dividers for the memory bus and FSB frequencies. Note that this platform offers a very extensive set of FSB:Mem dividers. For the FSB frequencies of 266MHz+ we get 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 3:8, 2:3, 3:5, 1:2.
Summing up everything we have just said, we can conclude that ASUS P5W DH Deluxe is a true solution for overclockers and enthusiasts. Let's see how good it turns out together with the new Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 in our practical test session. Of course, the most exciting part of our session will be connected with overclocking. So let's get down to it right now.

From The Hangover to The Hangover Part II to The Hangover Part III, all-night binge drinking has led to many a misadventure and memory loss. But a new tool from breathalyzer company BACtrack could help imbibers avoid their inevitable headaches, with an assist from their smartphone.
Today, the San Francisco-based company unveiled the BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer, a tool that can monitor your alcohol consumption and sync wirelessly with your mobile device. "[It combines] fuel cell sensor technology, Bluetooth connectivity, and app-enabled features … to quickly and easily estimate Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), as well as track, share, and understand results," the company said in a statement. It's part of a growing trend of devices in the arena of quantified self: We use Nike's FuelBand to track our steps and calories; Jawbone's Up to monitor our daily activity; and Lark to measure our sleeping patterns. BACtrack's bet is: Aren't consumers just as interested in digitally monitoring their alcohol intake?
The BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer itself is nothing novel. Roughly the size of a pack of Tic Tacs, the device acts like any traditional breathalyzer: Blow into its short straw-like opening and the device will quickly assess how much you've had to drink. What's unique is that the device can wirelessly sync via Bluetooth to a range of smartphones and tablets, including the iPhone 4S and 5 and the iPad 3 and Mini.
Though the company claims to be the "world's first smartphone breathalyzer," there are a number of solutions that also claim to have reached this cultural zenith. Breathometer and Alcohoot, for example, are two competitors in the space vying for our vodka-scented exhales, but neither are wireless nor available yet for purchase. What sets BACtrack apart, however, isn't its hardware but its software.
The BACtrack app comes with a number of smart features. Not only will it digitally determine your BAC, but it will let you know how long it will take before it is likely to return to zero. Users can see results over the last six hours or the past two weeks, enabling them to monitor alcohol consumption patterns. The app also allows users to see the time and location of when and where BAC tests were taken; to produce and save drink logs through tags and pictures, a sort of Foodspotting for cocktails; and to share and compare data with friends through the app or via social media.
While most people probably can't imagine wanting to share such personal (and likely depressing) results on Twitter or Facebook like they might share NikeFuel points, BACtrack CEO Keith Nothacker believes it could help users make healthier changes to their drinking behavior. "Testing and sharing personal BAC results creates a dialogue around responsible drinking, which is longer overdue," he said today in the company's statement.
Still, at $149.99, it's hard to envision that such an expensive tool would be required outside professional use—it's not likely to be worth the novelty for frat bros looking to show off how much they can consume without blacking out, say. But outside cops and clinics, the company believes customers might include "parents, gadget lovers, DUI offenders, college drinkers," and even "athletes and celebrities." (Reese Witherspoon?)
Perhaps. Yet on a recent outing to Fenway Park, I was unable to figure out how to get the BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer working. The slew of drinks I knocked down didn't help, but considering intoxicated customers are the company's clientele, the threshold of difficulty for using the device ought to be no more complicated than flipping a Flabongo upside down. Will consumers really download the app, remember to charge the device, bring it and a smartphone with them, and then remember to sync the devices and monitor results throughout their evenings?
A few days after my initial test, though, I was able to get the BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer working. But by that point, I was dead sober. It was a Monday evening, after all. But perhaps that proves I'm not the company's target demographic.

I planted some hops the year before I moved here with the plan of making a home-brew filled up with fresh-picked green hops. I never made it and I really didn't think it up at all but it sure has taken off as a style in the last few years:
First there was Beaujolais nouveau. Now comes beer nouveau. The end of the growing season has been celebrated by everyone from apple growers to winemakers, but lately brewers have started marking the renewal of their own annual cycle, with beers that are brewed with hops picked only a few hours before. Called "fresh hop," "wet hop" or harvest beers, they begin appearing in late September, typically on tap and lasting only until the kegs run dry.Here is a story here calling them "harvest ales" as well as "wet hop." I have one by that name in the stash from Southern Tier but their harvest ale seems to be not a wet hop, just an regular if very hoppy APA. Hey, there is a festival for this this weekend in Hayward, California at a place called The Bistro - a place of many festivals. I have sent a electronic communication to see if they can fill me in more on the style. I will let you know what I learn but feel free to give me what edjification you can on this important topic.
Update: Hey presto! The response was in the email this morning:
Vic KraljDagnabbit - 3 to 4 months! Dastardly hop acid deterioration at play. Unless I am wrong - it seems too bad that no one in the entire country of Canada is picking up on this trend.
to me 12:40 am (6 hours ago)
Good day Alan,
Now in our 3rd year of doing this fest we have grown every year as more brewers try to pull off brewing this style of beer. We feature mostly Ca. beers,but some also from oregon. Some include Russian River,Sierra, Pizza ports, Bear Republic,Stone, Moonlight, Drakes, Magnolia, Rogue to name a few. This year it looks as though we will have 21.
Most all of these beer are brewed within 24 hours of being picked right off the Vine. In 2002 i Brewed with Vinnie @ Russian River and we picked hops all morning and had them in the kettle by 11am. They add a zest to the beer,almost resineey if you will, a full hop richness that only last in the keg for a short period say 3 to 4 months. They are the best as fresh as you can gets your lips on one. I personally love this style and I think any brewer that loves the art of brewin should go threw the hassel of brewing one. They will be hooked.
Cheers, Vic

Stanford CB Alex Carter: Team USA FlashbackBy Mike DeVader Fri, 11/16/2012 - 12:17pm
Cornerback, Stanford
6-foot, 200 pounds, freshman
Hometown Ashburn, Va.
Member of the 2012 U.S. Under-19 National Team that played in the International Bowl in Austin, Texas.
Alex Carter came to Stanford with hopes of seeing the field as a true freshman and doing his part to help the Cardinal win games.
When coaches called Carter's number early in 2012, he took advantage of his playing time by displaying great effort on defense and special teams.
The staff liked Carter's determination to improve every aspect of his game and rewarded him with his first career start Oct. 20 against California.
He hasn't disappointed.
Since taking over the starting job at cornerback, Carter has been making plays all over the field, recording 15 tackles and two forced fumbles.
He's tallied 30 tackles for the year and leads No.13 Stanford (8-2) with three forced fumbles, all in the last five games.
Next up for the Cardinal is a primetime road showdown with undefeated and second-ranked Oregon.
Carter recently spoke with USA Football about the Cardinal football season and looked back on his experiences playing for Team USA.
How is the season going so far? It's been going pretty good. It started a little slow as I was trying to get used to the playbook, but things are going good now.
What team or personal goals are still achievable this year? We are still in the race for the Pac 12 Championship. We have Oregon this week and UCLA the week after that, so we just want to keep playing hard and try and get to the Rose Bowl.
What has been the biggest adjustment you've had to make in your transition to college football? The speed is a clear difference in the offenses from high school to college. The playbooks also are a big difference, and I am trying to soak up as much information as I can.
How has your preparation changed since becoming a starter earlier in the year? It hasn't changed much. I just meet with coaches, study film, try to learn the playbook and try to play fast.
What advice would you give to someone thinking about playing for the U-19 National Team? I would definitely recommend it. I think it was a great experience, and I would love to do it again. The whole experience was great, and I had a sense of unity with my country.

great look! :-)
Hahah you guys are funny.
im about to place an order i was just wondering what you all think the best mass stack would be for me to run for about 90 days
How are you guys planning on receiving your orders....I found out that Naps only mails packages by registered post...will you be signing for it....even under an assumed name? Does anyone have any ideas on how to received these packages in a safe manner? Naps said they had to send it this way since many customers are scamming them saying they never received their orders!! Once the package is unclaimed it goes back to the sender and Naps does not re-mail the order back out. You could be losing a lot of money here guys!! Please let me know....
Sack up and go pick it up. It's not that hard. If they wanted you, they would have already gotten you by the time your package came in.

WASHINGTON — Uniforms for U.S. Olympic athletes are American red, white and blue — but made in China. That has members of Congress fuming.
Republicans and Democrats railed yesterday about the U.S. Olympic Committee's decision to dress the U.S. team in Chinese-manufactured berets, blazers and pants while the American textile industry struggles economically with many U.S. workers desperate for jobs.
"I am so upset. I think the Olympic committee should be ashamed of themselves. I think they should be embarrassed. I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester, said of the USOC, "You'd think they'd know better."
In a statement, the USOC defended the choice of designer Ralph Lauren for the outfits to be worn during the London games.
"Unlike most Olympic teams around the world, the U.S. Olympic Team is privately funded, and we'r e grateful for the support of our sponsors," USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a statement. " We're proud of our partnership with Ralph Lauren, an iconic American company, and excited to watch America's finest athletes compete at the upcoming Games in London."
Ralph Lauren also is dressing the Olympic and Paralympic teams for the closing ceremony and providing casual clothes to be worn around the Olympic Village. Nike has made many of the competition uniforms for the United States and outfits for the medal stand.
On Twitter, Sandusky called the outrage over the uniforms nonsense. The designer, he wrote, " financially supports our team. An American company that supports American athletes."
Ralph Lauren's company declined to comment.
"It is not just a label, it's an economic solution," said Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y. "Today, there are 600,000 vacant manufacturing jobs in this country, and the Olympic committee is outsourcing the manufacturing of uniforms to China? That is not just outrageous, it's just plain dumb. It is self-defeating."
Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., wrote to Lawrence Probst III, chairman of the USOC, complaining about the uniforms. Brown suggested that the USOC find a manufacturer with a U.S. factory, such as the Hugo Boss plant in Cleveland.
"There is no compelling reason why all of the uniforms cannot be made here on U.S. soil at the same price, at better quality," Gillibrand and Israel wrote.
In a tweet, U.S. track and field Olympian Nick Symmonds, who will compete in the 800-meter run at the London games, wrote: "Our Ralph Lauren outfits for the Olympic opening ceremonies were made in China. So, um, thanks China."

Insight, Soul Series Volume 1 has finally arrived! This engaging book is a poetic guide to Awakening. This book is designed to unravel the mystery of Who You Truly Are and What You Can Become!! At first glance, I am told that it can be viewed as a course in Awakening. The channelled messages within the book are designed to guide, heal, uplift, inspire and encourage. The e-book edition of this long-awaited title is now available globally and can be purchased through Amazon Kindle via the following websites: Amazon.com www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QYG9WC In the U.K at Amazon.co.uk , in France at Amazon.fr, in Germany at Amazon.de, in Italy at Amazon.it and in Spain at Amazon.es
This title has also launched in 32 countries via iTunes through the iBookstore http://itunes.apple.com/ca/book/insight-soul-serie... Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/fb/book-iE_flXyrDkK... Chapters.ca and other online retailers. For those who are ready, this book is a global wake-up call! http://spiritualnetworks.com/marketplace/1303/insi...
Designing the cover of Insight was an exciting process. I had the pleasure of working with world-renowned graphic designer, Dejan Davidovic. This creative genius was able to capture the vision of my design concept and catapult it to an even higher level beyond my imagination!
The cover of Insight is embedded with many hidden symbols. The hands that embrace the eye represent the assisted Awakening of Souls and the global shift that is occurring now in 2012. The cover's image also symbolizes the direct connection with one's Higher Self, the global reopening of the third eye, and oneness with All That Is. If you take a step back and analyze the cover further , you will notice that the image faintly resembles an outline of a keyhole. The eye peering though this keyhole represents one's ability to look beyond the veil of illusion. If you look very carefully you will also notice the number 11 between the glowing white arms made of light. This number has a spiritual significance and represents the 11 chapters that are contained within the book. The extended arms reach up to the eye as the eye is pried open by the light body's glowing hands. The hands that hold the eye also represent global healing. Furthermore, the color blue represents the third eye chakra and symbolizes an evolved Soul. The black pupil in the centre of the eye symbolizes the void of "Beingness". If you study the image on the cover very carefully, you will also notice other symbols embedded within the design. The most miraculous and astonishing thing of all is that the symbols were not planned. Long before the book was written, I had a vision of the book's cover. As a result, I knew that it was to contain an eye. As the designer and I collaborated to create the cover, additional symbols began to appear within the design. It was almost as if the cover was being created by itself! The artist was not even aware of the hidden symbols when I had pointed them out to him. This talented artist stated that he drew his inspiration from a combination of his love for both spirituality and science fiction. Before the design process began, he would go into nature, bask in the silence and tap into his reservoir of creative imagination. The cover you now see is the result of unbounded creativity and astounding talent. Based on the numerous symbolic representations that are hidden within the books cover, this picture is truly worth a thousand words.
Can you see any other hidden symbols embedded within the still image of the book's cover?

2011 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
GM claims top speed of 190 MPH for Coupe. GM warranties drive train for 5 years or 100K miles.Perfect fitting of body. Rides like a Cadillac with soft ride syspension (which I have) or select a ride syspension which is more expensive.3LT trim is great with head up display, better interior trim and push button retractable seats and steering wheel.
Head up display, run flat tires and OnStar.
GM power train warranty...5 years/100k miles.
Great power 436 HP with dual mode exhaust which I have and great fuel economy for the power...my Vette averaged 27 MPG on the freeway and its auto trans.
Great stopping power due to its light weight...3225 lbs. manual, 3275 lbs. auto.
Very quite at high speeds due to one the lowest drag coefficients....28 vs. .34 for the ZO6.
With 428 lbs. of torque, I doubt most people can handle it if floored at a standing start.
It cost me over 2K in accessories, which GM should have make standard or optional.
Chrome door handles. Color matched spoiler and mud guards, chrome led tail lights, chrome engine coil covers, chrome mesh side covers.
Wanted an LT3, but got an LT1 with A/T, performance exhaust (noisy just when pushed) and chrome wheels (less demanding than the alloys on my 2002 BMW 530) and saved $7000. Missed some extras, but I think can live without them.
Style that flows and seems timeless. Civilized ride for a sport car. Good ergonomics. Useful trunk. Removable roof. Better millage than expected. On Star navigation is good but a navigation system is better! Some cheap cars come with blue tooth , but GM will charge for using their hands free calling option once the free period is over.
I bought my son a new Jetta 2010, made in Mexico for $ 20 000, the power windows are one touch up/down, the glove compartment door belongs to a luxury car. My Vette glove box door was taken from a WT Silverado 2006. I almost threw away an L shaped piece of plastic, but realized was the passengers reclining lever. I thought the hood was misaligned, but discovered that the problem was where the drivers fender meets the front fascia...both pieces aren't flush! Be careful with the sharp front edges of the seats rails! It was pulling to the right and improved a little after a visit to the dealer, they will check it again soon.

text: It's odd how much it is starting to feel like spring in California. It is January and already it is appropriate to sit outside for lunch here in the Bay and I can't say that I hate it! I've only been to Santa Cruz once before, but I'm itching to make another trip and yes, I definitely want to ride on the gondola. Does anyone know how? If so, I'd like to know. Santa Cruz is such a majestic city to me. I'm not sure why I wanted to use that word to describe it, but I find it to be really very pretty. The last time I went there, I watched a bunch of surfers which wasn't all that exciting to me because I don't surf, myself, but it's a cute little beach town and you wouldn't find anything like it in the Pacific Northwest.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(124)
Sackboy, that lovable scamp from Media Molecule's brilliant creativity simulator/platformer LittleBigPlanet is one of the most iconic figures in modern gaming history, and all you have to do to realize why is look at that big goofy grin and get lost in those tiny black eyes. Of course, like all great characters, Sackboy went through several iterations before he reached his final version.
To shed some light on Sackboy's evolution, Media Molecule has posted a fantastic article that every LBP fan needs to check out immediately, as it not only tells the story of how Sackboy came to be, but it also includes early concept art, prototype gameplay footage, and even a wonderfully goofy death animations video that is simply adorable.
Videos and details after the jump.
As the developer explains on its official blog, the original Sackboy design was a piece of debug programmer art named YellowHead that consisted of a yellow square noggin and a purple triangular body. As you can see in the following prototype footage, Media Molecule had a fairly good idea of how they wanted the character that would eventually become Sackboy to move and behave:
"YellowHead was very much placeholder programmer art created by Dave [Smith] for the first playable CraftWorld code which was taken up to Sony on that fateful day of the pitch," explains Media Molecule. "But although he was merely a stand in, he ended up dictating the proportions of Sackboy, and the things he would need to be able to do."
The name YellowHead actually stuck for a while, and there was even a version of the character that featured a mosquito antennae. But one of the early additions to the character that would eventually become an integral part of Sackboy's identity was the "handmade look" (i.e. buttons, zippers, fabric, etc.) applied by MM creative director Mark Healey.
The next piece of the Sackboy puzzle fell into place thanks once again to Dave Smith who gave the LBP star his unique trapezium head shape, in addition to the now beloved attitudes and expression wrinkles. One of Sackboys most distinct features in his chest zipper, and while it's now just a simple part of his design, it almost became an integral part of the game's overall design thanks to a "crazy concept" from Mark Healey that consisted of adding a separate creative space…inside of Sackboy himself.
"Maybe the place where you go to create is… in yourself. Let's put this zip on Sackboy, he opens the zip, folds in on himself and goes and creates inside himself, because creativity and ideas are all inside you."
"I'm kind of glad to say that this idea didn't manifest" added MM art director Kareem Ettouney. "It's a legacy part of design, but it makes him really distinct."
In terms of Sackboy's animation, the devs say it wasn't all that enjoyable to design because "it's the user controlling the actions." However, as Media Molecule's senior animator Francis explains, "The reward comes from seeing what people do with it. The mad dances and machinima really amazed me, and the way people use the basic acting emotions to talk to each other - they almost became a sort of language people used to communicate to one another whilst playing."
Originally, Sackboy had a number of situational death animations, but those were eventually replaced by less violent and more cutesy animations. Again, Media Molecule brings the prototype goodness in this video showing off a number of these long lost dying sequences:
There's actually quite a few more details about the development of Sackboy and some of the reactions and philosophies behind the decisions that led to his ultimate design. If you're an aspiring animator, or just a fellow lover of the design sign of gaming, I highly recommend checking out the full article. Great stuff.
