I liked them both. Honestly, we don't know what Rob was doing behind the bedroom doors either. Or this could be a stunt to make breaking dawn part ii popular if they get back together? I just don't want to say bad things about a pretty young talented actress whose personal life is none of my business. She apologized and I think that's all one can do.

She is a brilliant actress and was victim of seduction. She has been under so much stress! She's endure a Post-traumatic seduction syndrome. Look for what it means before you cast a stone. She doesn't need more punishment! Calling her names and insulting her would make you heartless. She is trying hard to forgive herself. And remember, some say you are a reflection of your words, be careful what you say, it may come back and hunt you!! Remember Karma?

882P Movement
The 882P movement is one of the thinnest chronograph movements available at only 5.6 mm thick. As part of the very exclusive world of major watchmaking complications the chronograph movement, is distinguished by its flyback mechanism, a highly precise function which allows for the chronograph to be reset without interruption. By one simple push, the minute and central seconds hands "fly back" to zero and automatically begin a new cycle. The 882P chronograph movement is enhanced with two barrels, a balance with screws, a balance stop and an oscillating weight decorated with a pink-coloured Piaget coat of arms. It is also equipped with a second time zone (with 24-hour time display) placed at 9 o'clock. Its chronograph is governed by a column wheel, to coordinate all its phases, and a vertical clutch system assuring the utmost precision. The flat, overlapping surfaces of the two discs that make up the movement are driven directly, thus avoiding jumping needles and any unnecessary expenditure of the power reserve. To complete the movement's functions, the frequency has been increased for better precision. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained mainplate, the bevelled bridges, the blued screws and the pink oscillating weight engraved with the Piaget coat-of-arms round off this exceptional movement, while remaining true to the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.

Select Reproductive Solutions Specialists Meet in California for Advanced Training
November 20th 2012
More than 50 professional Select Reproductive Solutions™ (SRS™) specialists from Select Sires' member organizations and Select Sires Canada recently gathered for the annual SRS Conference held November 5-7, 2012, in Sacramento, Calif. to share ideas and learn more about the latest in reproductive technology. Hosted by All West/Select Sires, the three-day conference incorporated both classroom and on-farm training. After the conclusion of the conference, staff attended the Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council (DCRC) Annual Meeting held immediately following the conference to learn more about improving reproductive efficiency and the economic viability of the dairy industry.
"This year's SRS Conference was one of the best we have had and is the largest one to date," stated Dr. Ray Nebel, vice president of technical service programs. "Working together as a team in the RePRO Analysis™ Challenge activity has always been the highlight of the conference. Besides the educational aspects and training, it is a great team-building event that allows the SRS specialists from across the federation to see what others with similar responsibilities are doing."
During this challenge, the group was divided into eight teams to apply their knowledge in evaluating two large dairies, Ed Nunes and Sons Dairy and DeSnayer Dairy. Following their analysis of the farms, each team delivered a presentation highlighting areas for improvement and prioritizing suggestions for making reproductive improvements. The NorthStar Rockers team consisted of coach Melanie Lynch, Doug Moyer, Jay Krull, Ted Paterson and Steve Eathington, and was selected as the top team for the Ed Nunes and Sons Dairy. The MidAmerica Jack Rabbits included coach Brad Meek, Darrel Rennich, Marty House, Dan Hoying and Rob Hamaker, and was selected as the top team for the DeSnayer Dairy.
In the classroom setting, staff members learned more about the Heatime® health monitoring and activity system and its recent addition to the SRS portfolio. They also reviewed topics including pregnancy verification via milk samples, reproductive strategies for problem cows, StrataGEN™, herd management software reports and general SRS program goals.
Select Sires recognizes that a one-size-fits-all approach to reproductive management does not work in today's dairy industry. That's why dairy producers trust Select Sires' highly trained SRS specialists to help design a customized reproductive program that's right for their needs. SRS specialists offer a Portfolio of Reproductive Solutions™ that consists of reproductive troubleshooting using Select RePRO Analysis, dairy records and management analysis, professional turnkey technician service, estrus-synchronization programs and assistance, SelectCheck™ heat detection training, English and Spanish training resources and professional A.I. training, heat detection aids and nutritional supplements.

Hunting brothers charged with killing 3 sheep dogs
Deputies: Bend, Roseburg men thought they were wild dogs
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - A Crook County grand jury has indicted two brothers from Bend and Roseburg on criminal mischief and animal abuse charges in the late-August fatal shooting of three Great Pyrenees sheep dogs in the Ochoco Mountains, authorities said Monday.
Sheriff's deputies said Craig Johnson, 59, of Bend, and brother Paul Johnson, 66, of Roseburg, told authorities they thought they were wild dogs and were not familiar with the large number of sheep in the area.
On Friday, the two men, who had been bow hunting in the area, were indicted on three counts each of first-degree criminal mischief and first-degree animal abuse.
The sheriff's office was called in Aug. 27 to investigate after the dogs' owner, Gordon Clark of Madras, got word of the killings from his hired hands who were running two large herds of sheep on their Ochoco grazing allotment, near the Walton Lake Sno-Park off Forest Service Road 4210, said sheriff's Sgt. Jim Chapman.
When Deputy Brian Bottoms arrived, he found the three large sheep dogs lying in the forest with apparent fatal gunshot wounds, Chapman said. Bottoms investigated the scene and recovered spent .223 caliber casings lying in the road, also collecting other evidence.
The deputy began interviews at bow hunting camps in the area and developed two suspects who were camped very close to the crime scene, Chapman said.
Bottoms returned to the camp later in the day to re-interview the suspects and obtained confessions from the two brothers, the sergeant said.
The deputy seized a Ruger Mark II .223 caliber rifle, believed to be the gun used to kill the three dogs.
Clark estimated the value of his dogs at $7,500, saying they were placed in the forest to follow and help protect his sheep, Chapman said.
District Attorney Daina Vitolins said Monday she could not comment on the status of the case at this time.

The Commission against Racism publishes new reports on Albania, Austria, Denmark, "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" and the United Kingdom
STRASBOURG, 03.04.2001 – The Council of Europe's expert body on combating racism, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), today released five new reports examining racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in Albania, Austria, Denmark, "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" and the United Kingdom.
The reports form part of a second cycle of monitoring of member States' laws, policies and practices to combat racism. ECRI's country-specific reports cover all 43 member States of the Council of Europe on an equal footing, in the perspective of the protection of human rights. Compiled following a contact visit to the country in question, the second report examines the implementation of proposals made to the government in the previous report, provides a general up-date and also contains a deeper analysis of selected issues of particular concern in that country.
ECRI recognises that in all five countries positive developments have occurred. At the same time, the reports detail ECRI's continuing grounds for concern. These include :
In Albania, issues of ethnic discrimination are not recognised as a primary concern, and thus there is little awareness concerning such issues. Negative prejudices and stereotypes exist particularly with respect to Roma/Gypsies. The widespread corruption generally recognised to be present in public institutions may also indirectly discriminate against those who do not have the necessary connections or means in order to have access to public services, basic facilities or employment. There is an acute lack of information about the situation and the number of the different minority groups living in Albania.
In Austria, racism, xenophobia and discrimination affect particularly immigrants, asylum-seekers and refugees, but also Austrian nationals of immigrant background. Most of the existing legal provisions aimed at combating racism and discrimination do not appear to provide for effective protection against these phenomena. Of deep concern is the use of racist and xenophobic propaganda in politics. The behaviour of the police vis-à-vis members of minority groups is also of special concern.
In Denmark, the prevailing climate of opinion concerning individuals of foreign background and the impact and use of xenophobic propaganda in politics are of deep concern. Discrimination, particularly in the labour market, but also in other areas, such as the housing market and in access to public places, are also of concern. People perceived to be Muslims appear to be particularly vulnerable to these phenomena. Most of the existing legal provisions aimed at combating racism and discrimination do not appear to provide effective protection.
« The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia » is still a society in which the issues of discrimination and intolerance are not adequately recognised and confronted. Different ethnic communities often have limited contact with each other and their relations are strained by negative stereotypes and mistrust. Furthermore, members of minority groups do not participate fully in public institutions at all levels of society. There is little concrete information available about manifestations of racism and discrimination, which in turn means that specific measures to combat these phenomena are often lacking in various fields.
Problems of xenophobia, racism and discrimination persist in the United Kingdom and are particularly acute vis-à-vis asylum seekers and refugees. This is reflected in the xenophobic and intolerant coverage of these groups of persons in the media, but also in the tone of the discourse resorted to by politicians in support of the adoption and enforcement of increasingly restrictive asylum and immigration laws. Racist prejudice in the police continues to constitute an element of concern. Criminal and civil law provisions are not always effective in countering racist, xenophobic or discriminatory behaviour.

I hope this is the right thing to do since I couldn't find those older maybe related threads. I jsut wanted to talk about these two cheesefests. First, the Japan Open portion in particular was very COP competitive even with Chan falling apart.Tak is looking like the front runner now have creamed Chan 2x in a row and landing and rotating the quads. Plushy is showing he is still competitive; he still needs to adjust to COP and improve - spins and pcs (transitions). Chan looks in deep trouble but we'll see how the GP season goes. Coach or no coach he has to land the 2 quads and 3A. Popping jumps not a good sign. Ashley looks very confident, polished and ready to tackle the world. She is the real thing and could win it all that is clear. I am not too sure about Mao. Lots of fans but she hasn't blown me away and the longer it takes for her to show some consistency the less faith I and others will have in her. As well, I still think she needs to figure out the jumps - go for the 3A or clean and no edge calls which is a problem especially with the lutz
The other big thing I think about this competition is that Jeffrey Buttle still has it and would easily be Canada's no. 2 man. He still has the speed, power, polish and transitions. Okay on one 3A but no falls. His style is COP friendly.

We at DriverGuide try very hard to create the best driver, firmware, and support site out there, but it can be difficult to find the right balance giving our users the ideal user experience and giving us the opportunity to earn the revenue we need to pay the bills. So we'd like to open the floor and listen to what you our users have to say. What would you like us to improve on?
What can DriverGuide do better?
20 Responses to "What can DriverGuide do better?"
why don't you just let me install my own drivers I think I'm smart enough I have ben trying to download a driver for a backpack for a computer that is not connected to the internet and all I get is online installs it is very anoying!!!!!!!!!
What can Driverguide do to improve their dervice?
The first thing is to allow drivers to be downloaded without first downloading and installing the NON-Working DriverGuide software. Quite frankly, IT DOES NOT WORK! Please allow me to make the previous statement a bit clearer for the guys who tested the software and passed it for use on your site.
DriverGuide downloader no workee workee.
I have tried said software on windows 98 se, windows 2000 pro, windows 2000 server and windows xp.
When it would install, (would install only on xp), the system became so unstable that I had to wipe the hard drive and start over from scratch. Then it still would not work! I could not get it to install on anything but xp. I refise to try it on my windows 7 system.
DriverGuide used to be a good dependable site for finding drivers for older hardware, what ever happened to that DriverGuide site?
For the readers of my previous post.
I should have checked my spelling.
Dervice should have been Service and refise should be refuse
I know from past experience that there are thousands of good drivers here on DriverGuide.
One just can not access and download the drivers as the site is at present. I've been attempting to download one particular Intel sound driver for several months now to no avail. All I ever get is the stupid DG downloader that does not work!
What you can do better is knock OFF the stupid advertising! I bought your hardware…..Why should I have endure countless adds and offers and waste an incredible amount of time in order to get an update or driver?
Very low class.
The main thing you can do better is provide an option for downloading drivers that doesn't involve your adware "downloader". I've run into several cases where I'm trying to download drivers for old systems where the "downloader" won't run, thus adding several steps to my download. Huge pain.
It works with winXp ( I often used it to back up drivers) but Win7 32 or win7 64 is never mentioned so the conclusion is it doesn't work. I never got it to work with win7 32. I tried early on in 2011.
A simple statement of incompatibilities would avoid miss-expectations and user ire.
What you can do is have actual drivers instead of having to load crapware on your computer. I used this site many years ago and it was well done. Now you cant download a FREAKING driver. I see more commercials in 10 minutes on your once useful site than I see on TV in weeks. It is sad. Your site was a useful tool. Now it's just a TOOL. Thanks for nothing.
Why can't we just go in and get drivers without scanning. You have made it impossible to get drivers for a computers that cannot get on the internet HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moving back to the old driverguide where I could download drivers
with my normal account without being forced to use an installer.
That would make things better.
I love your guys' website. It's freaking awesome. This is the ONLY PLACE LEFT ON THE INTERNET where you can download a SmartDisk VideoSafe driver (called CameramateRTVDrivers.zip). It's been pissing me off for about 3 days now, not being able to find it, then I came here not expecting much, yet you put out more than I thought you guys would. Thanks a bunch! I will definitly be coming here for my drivers from NOW ON!
download driverguide 2012, installer downloads 20M to match my version of .NET, driverguide runs and I get a message box Spoon Studio 2011 "This version of the software has expired". Program auto_updater says I have the latest version.
So I am in a loop

Lawsuit roils Hackensack politics as manager claims retaliation by officials
A political coalition that swept into power promising to clean up Hackensack City Hall and put an end to costly legal disputes continued to unravel Monday as the city's acting manager — who was hired by that coalition — filed a lawsuit accusing top officials of violating state law, condoning "mob-like and thuggish behavior" by the police union and conducting a smear campaign "to destroy his reputation."
Anthony Rottino, who became acting manager late last year, alleges that some city officials are trying to fire him, in part, because he opposed raising police salaries and sought to protect the job of a public relations consultant who is being paid $78,000 by the city while working two other public jobs.
The lawsuit throws a harsh light on conflicts within city government, where members of the slate of candidates that took office in the spring of 2013 — ending decades of domination by the Zisa family — have clashed with each other and with Rottino over an escalating series of issues. And it comes at a time when the city is seeking to create a renaissance to its foundering infrastructure.
The suit, filed in Superior Court under the state whistle-blower law and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, names as defendants the city, Mayor John Labrosse, Deputy Mayor Kathleen Canestrino and Police Director Michael Mordaga. It claims that, because of their retaliatory actions against him, Rottino has been "constructively discharged," a legal term that refers to working conditions that are so intolerable that they effectively amount to a firing, even though no formal termination has occurred.
Rottino has not resigned and claims in the suit that he "continues in his efforts to serve the citizens of Hackensack."
All three officials flatly denied the allegations in interviews and public comments Monday. "This is probably going to be ugly for a while and then we'll come out of it," Labrosse said.
In the suit, which seeks compensatory as well as unspecified punitive damages, Rottino alleges that Canestrino interfered with police contract negotiations when he tried to hold the line against a raise of more than 2 percent that he contends would violate state law. Rottino also alleges that the deputy mayor accused him of being a "drug dealer" in conversations with two council members, Leonardo Battaglia and Rose Greenman.
During a council session Monday night, Canestrino denied the allegations and said the dispute "breaks my heart." Earlier in the day, Battaglia also denied that Canestrino had been spreading rumors to him. "I never hear [sic] anybody say Anthony is a drug dealer and that's it," Battaglia said. "It's not true."
Rottino did not attend Monday's meeting. However, Deborah Karlsson, the city clerk, confirmed that Rottino, through her office, had arranged for a videographer to record the session at his expense.
After fielding angry questions from the public, council members went into closed session to discuss the lawsuit and Rottino as a personnel issue. Greenman, who declined to speak to The Record on Monday afternoon, made one short comment during the meeting: "Let the truth reign free," she said.
The suit alleges that the defendants "have allowed and created a climate" that led members of the Policemen's Benevolent Association, the union that represents city police officers, to drive by Rottino's house at night and place stickers that have "caused great fear and embarrassment to Plaintiff and his family." Rottino's name, with a red circle and red diagonal line drawn over it, was printed on the stickers.
The lawyer who filed the lawsuit, Neil Mullin of Montclair, declined to discuss the case Monday.
The suit also says that Labrosse, Canestrino and Mordaga have "condoned mob-like behavior" and that the police director told Rottino that if he didn't accede to demands made by the union, its members would "destroy him" and "blow this administration up."
Mordaga said Monday that he never threatened Rottino.
"Where he is getting that from I don't know," Mordaga said.
He also said that allegations Rottino made against police are "ludicrous," and that it would not be possible to investigate who put up anti-Rottino stickers because many people have spoken out against the manager at council meetings — and there would be "too many suspects."
Members of the police union have been among Rottino's critics, complaining about city spending, Rottino's use of a city vehicle and the continued employment of Thom Ammirato, the public relations consultant.
Frank Cavallo, president of the PBA Local 9, called Rottino's allegations "not only self-serving but irresponsible on his part."
Rottino said in the suit that his objection to attempts to dismiss Ammirato was among several actions that have drawn the ire of officials. In March, after Ammirato's job with the Bergen County executive's office became public, county Prosecutor John Molinelli issued subpoenas to Bergen County, Hackensack and North Arlington seeking information about his employment as a public relations specialist with all three entities.
Rottino also claimed that officials were upset when he raised questions about what he says is "the widespread use of steroids by members of the police department" and objected to requests for health-insurance reimbursement based on "inaccurate claims that they received steroids for treatment of covered medical conditions such as obesity."
Mordaga said he had not heard of any allegations of steroid use before the lawsuit was filed. "If he has information about any Hackensack police officer using steroids, he should have reported it to me, and he hasn't," Mordaga said.
Rottino also alleges that officials have violated the state's Open Public Meetings Act, but did not provide specifics. He claimed that he is being punished for blocking attempts to appoint a "less-qualified white male" over a highly qualified African-American candidate as municipal judge. And he alleges that he has been falsely accused of granting himself an unauthorized raise.
He also claims he was falsely accused of secretly granting medical benefits to the city prosecutor, Frank Catania, who is a friend and business partner. The lawsuit states that the prior city manager, Stephen Lo Iacono, actually granted the benefits.
However, Lo Iacono said Monday that was "absolutely untrue." He said he received a request to provide benefits to Catania, who was hired last year, but refused because of the attorney's part-time status. "I was fired three days later," Lo Iacono said. "He had no benefits until after I left and Mr. Rottino became manager."
The suit claims that Canestrino's husband, Emil, a retired Hackensack police officer, would "personally benefit from increases in benefits" granted to the union. But Rottino's allegations all relate to negotiations on police salaries, not pensions, and the lawsuit doesn't explain how Emil Canestrino would benefit as a retiree.
Rottino's lawsuit also states that the deputy mayor has been in league with the PBA in an effort to force Rottino to "violate state law … that required Hackensack to impose a 2 percent hard, annual cap on salary increases for the city's police officers."

They can, however give me suggestions on where to find an apartment in the area. I'm located in eastern suburbs of Cleveland Oh, and they are in Glen Allen, VA. Mappoint says it is about 491 miles and a 7 1/2hour drive. Yike! They left me from the interview saying they would see about getting me in for a face-to-face interview, they didn't know when. They would have to make me a really good offer, but it has yet to come to that point. They were real hot about me filling out their application, though, which I already did and faxed back to them already. We'll see what happens.

NEIGHBORING COUNTIES: Halifax, Martin, Nash, Pitt, Wilson
Edgecombe County, located in the Coastal Plain region of eastern North Carolina, was formed in 1741 from Bertie County. It was named for Baron Richard Edgecombe, English member of Parliament and lord of the treasury. Aside from minor boundary adjustments, the county's present dimensions are the result of geographical divisions in 1746, 1758, 1777, and 1855 to form parts of Granville, Halifax, Nash, and Wilson Counties, respectively. In 1764 the county seat was moved from Edgecombe Court House to Tarboro. Other Edgecombe County communities include Conetoe, Leggett, Macclesfield, Pinetops, Princeville, Sharpsburg, Speed, Whitakers, and parts of Rocky Mount (which straddles the Edgecombe-Nash county border).
Tuscarora Indians originally inhabited the lands of Edgecombe County, and the English settlers who followed represented some of the first families of colonial North Carolina. The town of Princeville is also notable among Edgecombe County "firsts": established in 1865 by former slaves, it was the first all-black incorporated town in North Carolina. It and other Edgecombe County communities were devastated by the flooding of the Tar River following Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The first New Deal-era electrical cooperative began generating in Tarboro in 1937. The Tarboro Town Commons is today the only known example of a colonial common remaining in North Carolina.
Edgecombe County natural and cultural attractions include Riverfront Park in Tarboro and Battle Park in Rocky Mount; the Tar River Reservoir; Coolmore, an antebellum mansion built ca. 1860; and the Rocky Mount Arts Center. The Down East Festival of the Arts is held each October in Rocky Mount. Edgecombe County farms produce tobacco, cotton, corn, wheat, chickens, beef and dairy cattle, and peanuts, among other goods. County industrial products include furniture, farm machinery, electric transformers, and fabrics. In 2004 Edgecombe County's population was estimated to be 54,000.

Germany? 1379 /1419 – Padua? 1450
Saint Apollonia blinded
[Santa Apollonia accecata]
tempera on panel
54.5 (h) x 34.3 (w) cm Accademia Carrara, Bergamo
Bequest of Antonietta Noli, widow of Carlo Marenzi 1901
From the time of their acquisition the two Bergamo paintings have been known as the martyrdom of Saint Apollonia and the martyrdom of Saint Lucy. But we now know that both panels, together with two others, in Washington and Bassano del Grappa, belonged to a reredos, a screen behind an altar, devoted to the life of Saint Apollonia. (Unfortunately no other components have come to light so far.)
Saint Apollonia of Alexandria was an early Christian martyr. She endured brutal torture before her death by burning in 249 AD. According to The golden legend Saint Apollonia was set upon by a local mob during an uprising against Christians at the beginning of the reign of the Roman emperor Decius (249–251). Like many other virgin saints she was attacked and her teeth were knocked out. Later, when she was threatened with being burnt alive if she did not recant her Christianity, she walked willingly into the fire after saying a prayer. The golden legend also speaks of 'a number of other saintly persons…[who] had their eyes put out…and still others, who had been led before the idols, and, far from adoring them, had hurled invectives at them'.[1] Giovanni d'Alemagna uses this as the basis for the imagery of the four known panels.
All four depictions of episodes from the life of Saint Apollonia are characterised by fine, almost miniaturist painting, with every minute detail distinguishable in the crowded scenes, which include a large number of figures for the most part not strictly necessary to the storytelling. Giovanni seems to have relished the opportunity to dress his characters in a variety of elegant and colourful clothes, including Oriental styles. In Saint Apollonia blinded the artist renders a group of women behind the saint wearing distinctive white wimples with prominent chinbands. These headdresses were common in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries—here they are used as a device to indicate that the actions taking place are in the past.Each event is located in a wonderful setting with simultaneous Classical, Venetian and Levantine echoes, the whole unified by the perspective framework, carefully planned and incised in the gesso base. Each panel is characterised by a prominent marble statue in the centre and ornate architecture surrounding the central figure of the saint and the angry mob.
Nothing is known about the provenance of these two paintings before their arrival at the Accademia Carrara and suggestions of a Venetian or Paduan commission can be no more than hypotheses. In any event, today the panels appear to be in a good state of preservation, though each reveals the same curious alteration (old but not original) where a small additional element completes the tip of the pointed arch. The other panels in the same series differ: this construction detail does not occur in the Bassano panel, but is seen again in the Washington panel.[2]
The complex critical history of these paintings begins with the name of Jacopo Bellini: in the Noli–Marenzi endowment documentation they are listed as the work of a mid fifteenth-century Venetian artist; subsequent suggested attributions revolve around Bellini and the Venetian circle until, in 1926, Roberto Longhi put forward the name of Antonio Vivarini for these two panels.[3] In 1973 came the publication by Federico Zeri of the only painting signed independently by Giovanni d'Alemagna, a depiction of Saint Jerome.[4] This was the first real opportunity to distinguish Giovanni's hand, apart from the works he made in collaboration with his better documented brother-in-law, Antonio Vivarini. Since then there seems to have been no doubt that the two works now in Bergamo, with the other two in the series, are to be recognised as masterpieces by Giovanni d'Alemagna, whose origins were clearly Central European and who therefore must have brought to Vivarini's workshop the markedly Gothic elements that dominate these scenes.

Reviews of this property
Very nice apartment which had pretty much everything we needed. Lovely high ceilings and a quiet residential neighbourhood. Location is great and we were able to use the hop on off bus Red Line stop 8 for Augarten to get into the Ring with the Vienna Pass. From the airport take the S bahn to Praterstern station and fro there a taxi is 8 euro to the apartment.
The 5 tram runs every 5 minutes and connects to the U bahn in 2 stops. There is a Billa and Lidl within 2 minutes walk from the front door.
Host was in apartment on arrival and then left us to enjoy the delights of the city. Would definitely stay here again.
Only suggestions would be a little more information about tram timetables and amenities in the area in English. A microwave would be a welcome addition to the kitchen.
Just returned from four great easter days in Wienna.
The apartment fully met our expectations. Bright, clean, spacious, quiet and perfect location.
Gisella was a very helpful host. Told us about things to see, good restaurants and how to get around.
She also helped to get a new bed. The sofa was not very plesant for our tall young peple, travelling with us. So a suggestion would be to change the sofa to a real bed :-)
My friends and I had a very pleasant stay in Vienna. The appartment(s) has/have a lot of charme. A nice old building, but the accommodation itself is modern, spacy and quiet. Gisella informed us nicely about all relevant aspects. We can highly recommend the appartment(s).
Great location. Very quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to the city and close to hop on/hop off bus stop. We arrived at 6am after a long flight from Australia and although we had paid for the extra night, we were grateful that Gisella met us and let us into the apartment, rather than waiting until the office opened at 8.30am. The apartment was clean and tidy, perfect for a visit to Vienna.
Everything as promised and very clean! The apartment is really spacious and bright. The residential area is also fine, fast SBahn and subway connections to the city. The keys were very friendly and lots of advice we have been given to Vienna.
The only thing you could change, would be a vacuum cleaner in the apartment and more trash bags.
But our week stay was very enjoyable, we would definitely come back!
Alles wie versprochen und sehr sauber! Die Wohnung ist wirklich sehr großzügig und hell. Die Wohnlage ist auch in Ordnung, schnelle SBahn und UBahn Anbindungen zur Stadt. Die Schlüsselübergabe war sehr freundlich und uns wurden viele Tipps zu Wien gegeben.
Das einzige was man ändern könnte, wäre ein Staubsauger in der Wohnung und weitere Müllbeutel.
Aber unser Wocheaufenthalt war wirklich sehr angenehm, wir kommen gerne wieder!
Gisella is a very nice and friendly hostess. The room was very complete, nice and quiet. From the apartment you can take easy the metro to the city centre.
Very pleasant apartment in really quiet location.
We were very satisfied.
And Gisela had an excellent tip against our great hunger at the evening arrival.
Sehr angenehme Wohnung in wirklich ruhiger Lage.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden.
Und Gisela hatte bei der abendlichen Ankunft einen hervorragenden Tipp gegen unseren großen Hunger.
Very affectionate and nice hostess ... Everything was perfect, very responsive, everything as described. Last-minute changes accepted würden.freundlich. Gladly again ...
Sehr liebe und nette Gastgeberin... Alles perfekt, sehr entgegenkommend, alles wie beschrieben. Kurzfristige Änderungen würden.freundlich entgegengenommen. Gerne wieder...
Two of us spent a week in this apartment, just outside the Augarten, so well placed for various forms of transport within a few minutes walk. The apartment is spacious and on the second floor (there is no lift!). The lay out is slightly unusual as the two larger rooms are bedrooms each with a single mattress on two bases. One room also has a sofa and the other a TV. A third smaller room has a dining table and chairs and a single bed. This arrangement worked for us. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped with electrical goods incl a dishwasher but we would have appreciated better pans - with lids and frying pans with non stick finish. However the apartment was very clean, quiet and convenient and made it easy for us to enjoy Vienna.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Your average pumpkin pie and sweet potato casserole are loaded with nutrition benefits. Here's why you should dig in.
Butter-Pecan Mashed Sweet PotatoesLoad up on vitamin A, fiber, and vitamin C with sweet potatoes. Their rich orange color, sweet taste, and creamy texture rank them among our favorite holiday foods.
Spiced Pumpkin Chiffon PiePacked with disease-fighting vitamin A, a slice of pumpkin pie may be just what the doctor ordered.
Fresh Cranberry-Orange RelishIf you go for a second helping of cranberry sauce, you'll receive a boost in fiber. A 1/2 cup serving contains 6 percent of your daily requirements.
Asian-Spiced PecansNo need to shy away from the spiced pecans bowl during the holidays. It may help you fend off a cold. One ounce provides 10 percent of your daily zinc recommendation, a disease-fighting antioxidant.
Dry-Cured Rosemary TurkeyFill up on a protein-rich food like turkey (sans skin) to keep you full and satiated. A three-ounce serving of skinless turkey breast has about 120 calories and one gram of fat.
Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Garlic, and ShallotsBrussels sprouts are an excellent source of trace minerals, chestnuts, unlike other nuts, are low in fat. One-half cup of brussels sprouts packs a whopping dose of vitamin C.
Oysters ChesapeakeOysters are a top source of both vitamin B12 and zinc, so don't leave them out of your holiday recipes. If you're looking for holiday ideas, serve oysters as an appetizer.
Green Beans with Toasted GarlicBoil, steam, or roast green beans for a quick and healthy preparation. Make sure to keep the added butter and cream-sauce to a minimum. Green beans provide loads of nutrients like vitamins A, C, and E, fiber, and iron.

It is hard to imagine a more politicized pageant than the Olympics.
The vile Nazi theatrics of the 1936 Berlin Games are now the stuff of history books.
Closer to the world's collective memory are the 1968 Mexico City Games, which began with that nation's government forcefully dispersing thousands of protesters, shooting down and killing perhaps 300 (the estimates vary) in the process.
Four years later, Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 Israeli athletes in Munich.
In 1980 the US boycotted the Moscow Games in protest of the Soviets' 1979 invasion of Afghanistan. In 1984 the Soviets and 13 Eastern Bloc nations and allies returned the favor, shunning the Los Angeles Games, at which even saber-rattling President Ronald Reagan kept a low profile to keep international tensions within acceptable bounds.
And in 1996 — one year after America-born terrorists bombed the Oklahoma City federal court house — a bomb killed one person and wounded others in Atlanta, sparking what, by post-9/11 standards, now seems like a "manageable" panic.
In every instance, the Games went on. Dead bodies were and are beside the point. Political repression, international terror, and geopolitics do not register with the curiously obtuse, corporately fueled ethic of industrialized sport that is the Olympics.
If the grand masters of the Olympics were truly interested in depoliticizing the Games, why not settle on a permanent home in more neutral settings, say, Switzerland or Sweden for the winter sports and Greece, the Games' historic home, for summer sports?
The answer is simple: cash. Ever-changing locations allow the Olympics a steady stream of funding from would-be hosts who trip over themselves to pay to hold the Games. The cost to China this year has been estimated at $20 billion and counting.
There is also, of course, television. Static sites might be less politically charged, but rotating host cities provide the sort of backdrops that the television industry needs to justify its huge investment in broadcast rights. NBC paid a combined $1.5 billion for the 2006 Winter Olympics and the 2008 Beijing Games, and will be charging as much as $750,000 for a 30-second spot to recoup.
And finally there are corporate sponsorships from the likes of McDonald's, Coca Cola, Johnson & Johnson, and General Electric (NBC's corporate parent). Total corporate support for the Beijing Games is tough to pin down, but thought to be clearly in the hundreds of millions.
Where does outrage for the Chinese-funded genocide in Islamic Sudan figure in all of this? Or concern for the plight of Tibet? Or any sense of solidarity with democracy activists in China, fighting for freedom of religion and political expression there?
For President Bush it just does not register. If ever there was a leader in tune with the cold-blooded corporate ethic of the Olympics, it is Bush. Hey, after all, it is one heck of a spectacle.

Loading Please Wait
A pot comedy that won't reward even the most easily satisfied stoner, High School is just as inane and ignorant as the Reefer Madness-style films it aims to satirize. We follow Henry and Travis, a valedictorian and a burnout respectively, who find themselves on the wrong end of a zero-tolerance drug test. The solution: get the whole school high (get it? High school?) so no one will notice. Director John Stalberg aims to craft something that is both a John Hughes-like high school movie and a Cheech-and-Chong–style drug hijinks film, but he's not committed enough to either— the token female love interest gets about six lines of dialogue while Adrien Brody's drug dealer Psycho Ed feels like an outtake from a funnier movie. Instead, we're left with another pandering pot movie that, based on the exaggerated speed with which the brownies take effect, comes from people who couldn't tell a blunt from a bong.

Animation: Rolling Hitch Tying
Rolling Hitch TyingPass the end around the main (red) rope to make a Half Hitch. Continue around going over the first turn. Tuck the rope between the standing end and the first turn. Tighten to make it secure (this introduces a slight dog-leg in the main rope). Continue around to add a final Half Hitch.
Rolling Hitch Details
Description: The Rolling Hitch Ashley Version 2 (ABOK # 1735, p 298) attaches a rope (usually smaller) to another (usually larger) when the line of pull is almost parallel. To attach a rope to a pole see Version 1 below.
Naming: Richard Dana published The Seaman's Friend in 1841 and applied the name Rolling Hitch as we use it today. Until then it was known as the Magnus Hitch or Magner's Hitch; and the name Rolling Hitch had been applied to the Round Turn and Two Half Hitches. Dana's nomenclature was adopted by subsequent authors including Ashley who applied the name Magnus Hitch to the variation of the Rolling Hitch in which the final half hitch is passed around the standing end in the reverse direction and "tends to obviate torsion or twisting" (ABOK # 1736, p 298).
Caution: Some modern ropes are very slippery, e.g., Spectra®, Dyneema®, and Polypropylene. A Rolling Hitch will not hold at all in such materials.
Critical Details: The animation correctly shows that the blue rope is parallel to the red. The "pull" MUST be in line with the main rope (or the pole). If the tension is away from the standing rope or pole, this knot is likely to fail.
Version 1: To secure a rope to a parallel pole, use Ashley's Version 1 (ABOK # 1734, p 298). There is no "tucked second turn". Both of the first two turns are just wound on tightly beside each other. Version 1 grips well on poles and bars but is less secure than Version 2 on rope.
Recent Research: In August of 2009 Practical Sailor reported on their testing of slide and grip knots. Their analysis concluded: "... On more modern line, which tends to be much more slippery, the rolling hitch often slips under load. It may also fail to hold on wire or stainless-steel tubing...." After testing various knots, they recommended the Icicle Hitch as offering the best performance as a Slide and Grip Knot.
Uses: The Rolling Hitch is useful to take the strain off a rope with a foul turn on a winch. It can be used to relieve the strain on a hawser while the "Bitter End" is transferred to the "Bitts" but the Rat-Tail Stopper is better. It can also be used to make a Midshipman's Hitch, an adjustable loop in the end of a rope with many uses on boats, e.g., to act as a spring line to a dock or as a boom-vang and, at home, it makes an adjustable Clothesline Hitch.
Under Load: The Rolling Hitch is one of the few knots which can be tied and untied with load on. It does not bind and, when tied correctly, does not slip. However, in critical applications some authorities recommend using the tail end to tie a second Rolling Hitch to back up the first.
Safety Belt Hitch: Ashley also describes a Safety-Belt Hitch used by Steeplejacks (ABOK # 452, p 74), where three turns, not "tucked up", are used in the first part of the knot before the final Half Hitch is placed.
Variation Using a Bight: When there is a long tail end, the Rolling Hitch can be tied using a bight (loop) instead of the end. This is particularly useful when the Rolling Hitch is being used as a Spring Line. However, attention to detail is essential. The first part of the knot is tied using one strand of the loop. The other strand is kept out of the way but the bitter end is NOT pulled through. Once the first part of the knot is secure and, as usual, will take the strain, the bight can be used to tie one or more Half Hitches.
Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed. No responsibility is accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material.

Tour Operator Highlighted in Non-Profit Study
Escape Adventures Featured in Sustainability Best Practices Report
Press Release by Emily Abell
Download a PDF version of this press release.
LAS VEGAS, NV - Escape Adventures, a leading active travel outfitter, is once again gaining recognition for its proactive environmental approach.
Escape Adventures is featured in a new report of renewable energy best practices. The case study series, released by The Renewable Energy in Tourism Initiative (RETI), focuses on industry leaders that have adopted best practices in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
"Escape Adventures' commitment to sustainability is truly energizing," said Wendy Kerr, Project Coordinator, RETI. "This company exemplifies the spirit of adventure and creativity needed to fully realize the wealth of rewards made possible by incorporating renewable energy into the tourism industry."
Escape's 'Best Practices' noted in the RETI study include:
- Utilizing onsite solar panels to power its Moab Tour Center and Las Vegas Bike Warehouse
- Fueling tour support vans with used vegetable oil collected from local restaurants
- "Ride to work" program for employees, in which they are paid $5/day for biking to work
- Sponsoring renewable energy projects to offset the waste and carbon generation they are unable to eliminate
Escape Adventures goes to great lengths, both on its outdoor tours, and behind the scenes, to minimize the affect its operations have on the environment. Practicing Leave No Trace ethics limits the tours' direct impact, while a commitment to waste reduction, conservation, and alternative energies decreases the outfitter's overall footprint. All Escape Adventures tours are carbon-neutral, and guests are offered an opportunity to purchase green tags to offset their travel to the trip starting point.
"Escape Adventures stands out as a company that is striving to uphold the highest environmental standards and become the benchmark for small tour operators in the industry," said Brian T. Mullis, Co-founder and President of Sustainable Travel International, the lead author of the study. "Escape Adventures is becoming a catalyst for change, and we at Sustainable Travel are proud to support and promote their efforts."
Specializing in western North America, Escape Adventures is a leader in first-class eco-friendly cycling and multi-sport adventure.

Now I know why my good buddy Charlie gave me a deal on telescoping covers. He is so bothered that I beat him in his swarm baiting competition. Charlie, if you can't stand the heat don't start those threads.
We both keep bees in foggy exposures and he had figured out how many bees die on these covers on a wet morning. They fly in and land upside down in the condensed fog puddle on top of the covers, and die of exposure stuck upside down.
I count 20 on three hives this morning alone. Any suggestions on solving this problem? Maybe I will switch out to my new rough redwood western covers.

Very cool!!!! Nice job!!!
How did you build that phase 2 Rex? That this is awesome. It almost makes me want to stop my boba and start the PH2 Rex. It will definitely be my next build.
Most of the armour is bozotheclone movie clone armour. Most people use animated but I wanted my Rex to look real. To that I added Steelblitz parts - belt and straps and holsters. The pauldron was from General Fidelis from Ct.net and is easily the nicest pauldron I've yet seen, comes pre painted and he really went to town on it. Added to that is a real MP40 leather pouch - my rom/fx voice amp sits in that with the speaker behind my chestplate and the sound effects buttons run down my sleeves to my fingers. The kama I made from black pleather with some iron on blue hemming material to edge it correctly. The pistols I made myself, along with the rifles.
The helmet is from Skip here in the UK, and I modded the visor using P38 - bondo for my American readers. The range-finder array is one of bobamakers - it fits to where I flattened the ear cap, with a couple of small tabs to stop it from moving too far to the front or back. The helmet has the seam line where Rex added his phase 1 visor to it, cut in using a dremel - slightly nerve wrecking!
The jetpack is a Fett jetpack from BFUK that I modded extensively, when Rob saw what I had done to it, he set about making his own version to sell.
The whole thing is finished off with a internal back plate mounted speaker, transmitter and mp3 player that not only allows me to play the 2hr long clone trooper radio chatter I created, on a loop, but also to transmit it to any nearby clone trooper with a radio inside their armour!
That is awesome. I recently was at an event with GF so next time I see him ill ask him about starting a Rex, since he did one already.
Been a fair while since I updaed this thread - been a busy little Captain!
Rex has had an overhaul ready for Celebration Europe in a couple of weeks. This has included a set of Season 4 Umbara arc helmet macros
A clone trooper backpack - comes with added sound in the form of several hidden speakers and an mp3 player - the pack fits into the same slots as the jetpack.
repainted jetpack to match the one seen in season 5
And some reapplied weathering. The end result is far better in my opinion - although when wearing the helmet macros I have less then 40% of the vision I have without them, so will only wear them at CE when I am sure of my surroundings...
Looking good Jo, "job done eh?". Although if you add any more bits of kit to that bucket of yours you'll have trouble staying upright
Lmao! Something like that!
Actually with a few more possible appearances of Rex in the upcoming extra content there's a chance that he will have more kit I just HAVE to make!
That breach shot is great!
Is the helmet 501st approved?

Discussion in 'Programmers & Tuning' started by kinson33, Mar 8, 2013.
This is where I bought mine at, everything was perfect and the guy is real easy to work with. Check out his store, he has the same kit your looking at for $590.00 free shipping.
One recommendation I would make is the trunion upgrade for the rocker arms, they are known for spilling needle bearings down into the motor on a high revving cammed motor.
To answer your question, that is about what the kit goes for everywhere. I installed all my stuff, so I didn't have to worry about the labor. Plus you will have the cost of new head gaskets, bolts and so on. $150+.
What type of post is this? Seriously, post some content inside of a message from now on.
Also, moved this from the coffee shop to the tuning forum.
it's a post asking if the price is fair, I could have added a few words in there to be more specific. My apologies.
thanks triplxl!
Ok, ok, i could have stated that less harshly ... actually thought it was span at first ...
I was wondering what was up Steve, you did sound kind of evil lol! Grrrrrrr........
No problem Kinson, glad I could help a little bit..
No worries, I can see how it looks like spam.
I'm juggling the idea of a blower since I might have a lead on one. But I worry about the reliability. All I want is probably about 50 more hp, do you think that is achievable with cam, intake, exhaust, and a good tune?
My gearing is perfect right now with the 3.73's and 33"s, 1900RPM at 70mph. Would be ideal if I just had a few more ponies at the RPM range
Just with a really solid cam, and the supporting mods you listed should be well over 50hp. Granted its going to cost you about $2000+ to have all that done.
Well I have the intake and exhaust already. Will the link you posted be the cam that would fit my 5.3? I might be able to save some cash with a friend helping me install, would you advise on 6.0 cylinder heads to increase flow? Seeing some reasonably priced ones on ebay.
Also, would I be able to drive it down to a shop to get it tuned after install or would it be safer to tow?
The one in the link is considered a "thumper cam", this is a very agressive cam that I would not recommend for a daily driver. Check his ebay store out, he has them sorted by make and model.
As far as heads go this is something I did not get into, mainly because I didn't have the money to invest in them. Your 5.3 would have cathedral port heads, and the LS2 heads are rectangular port meaning you would have to get an LS6 intake to match the ports. Alot of guys are starting to run LS3 heads, because they are better flowing than the LS2 heads even. LS3 heads are also rectangular port.
After I installed my cam swap, we tried to drive it but it wouldn't idle at all!! You would pull up to a stop light and it would stall, or whenever you would hit the brakes it would die suddenly. It would be unsafe to drive untuned.
Separate names with a comma.

Artist of the Month for December: Bridget Erickson
Bridget Erickson
I am a senior at Pequot Lakes High School and I have lived here all of my life. Like most young children, I spent the majority of my time playing in the mud, which I still do, but now it's called pottery. Along with pottery, I also enjoy origami, drawing portraits with charcoal and pencils as well as painting.
Along with art, I also am very passionate about music. I play piano and percussion.
My future plans include majoring in music. I also plan to own a harp one day.
When I grow up — OK, when I get older — I plan to become a professional musician, or a homeless street performer if the first doesn't work out.
I live with my parents, from whom I get my artistic skills. My mother has a wonderful eye for detail and my father also did pottery. My brother lives in St. Cloud. He has no artistic talents.

I know it is possible to restart a mini mating nuc with a cup of bees on drawn comb without brood. I had planned have brood in drawn shallows which I had inserted between deep brood frames. Bees have not cooperated with me and I will have more queen cells than brood in frames.
Will a cup of bees on four shallow drawn frames work as a mating nuc or will they spread too thin in a larger space? I plan to stock well what I can and just see if a cupful might work as a gamble with the extras.
I am trying to move from making splits with deeps. I will probably end up using mediums but I have shallows on hand.

Step 1
Place broth in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so the broth remains steaming, but is not simmering.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in squash and mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms give off their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add thyme, salt, pepper and saffron (if using); cook for 30 seconds. Add rice; stir until translucent, about 1 minute. Add wine (or vermouth) and cook, stirring, until almost absorbed by the rice, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Stir in 1/2 cup of the hot broth; reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until all the liquid has been absorbed, until the rice is tender and creamy, 30 to 40 minutes total. (You may have some broth left.) Remove from the heat and stir in cheese.
