Re: I'm not paying $120 for you to fix my system

so apparently you ALSO had a FAT PS3 that's notorious for overheating AND DYING.
So this is my fault and not Sony's, seems legit.
Re: I'm not paying $120 for you to fix my system[ Edited ]
no.... it's sonys for making a system that at first had HORRIBLE heat management, and you got one still even though it was all over the net like a week after release day. But no that's sony's fault...... your problem is expecting them to fix a 5 year old system that's out of warranty. Just get a new slim when you can and have fun replaying your games..... (or at least the ones you liked lol). At least you can't lose add-ons or trophies or w/e, the onyl thing you lost is your saves (unless you backed the ones that LET you copy them to a flash drive).
By the way, get the slim, not the new slimmer. The crappy **bleep** top load door for the games isnt' very sound proofed either. People are hearing the disc spin while they play. Not to mention I have a feeling alot of people are going to break that sliding door right off one day opening it too hard, it's not automatic (i think). They cut alot more corners making that slimmer besides that.... a 500 gig drive isnt' worth gettign it when you can easily swap the drive in a slim too.
Re: I'm not paying $120 for you to fix my system
i dont' see why you can't get it out of this either.... TAKE THE COVER OFF. Probably have to take a cover off the disc loader inside too but it's no big deal i would think. Not like you have a warranty to void lol
But ya you break the door on a Slimmer or it dies some other way that wouldnt' be a problem lol
Re: I'm not paying $120 for you to fix my system
I got my black ops 2 out, I fixed my ps3 with my wife's hairdryer and it work.I'm debating to keep it or trade it in for $130 at gamestop.

Re: I'm not paying $120 for you to fix my system
No I didn't drop it in a bathtub.It's a thermal paste issue, I guess by putting your ps3 in a oven, it reheats the thermal paste in place.I used the hairdryer trick cause it seems dangerous in my eyes to put a PS3 in a oven.The systems can last a long time if they applied the
right amount of thermal paste from what I seen in the videos on youtube.Almost all the guys complained that sony didn't applied enough.So basically if your thermal paste wears out, expect a ylod and that's even for the slims.
Re: I'm not paying $120 for you to fix my system
interesting.... never heard this before. Only thing I knew about the FATS was the airflow SUCKED and they felt like a oven within an hour. Half the reason alot of hardware was dumped (like 2 usb hubs and the memory card reader and w/e was in a FAT and isnt' in Slim) was to give it better airflow. Other reason was to bring the cost down.... Maybe I'll take my slim apart one day and add some thermal paste, I still have some in my PC toolbox.
Re: I'm not paying $120 for you to fix my system[ Edited ]
Modern consoles will fail. I hear you, I mean, somewhere out there, is an Intellivision and an Atari 2600 that I had when I was 6 years old, and assuming it's all in one pieces, you can bet that it still works.
Modern consoles have these things called moving parts, and other parts that can't work if they move! Other parts that even rely on how well connected they are to other parts on the molecular level!
All built in an assembly line, most probably by underpaid workers....
I won't disagree that $120 is a lot for Sony to repair the system, but I'd be willing to bet a large portion of that cost is also to "warranty" that repair they do. Even if you can't be bothered to learn how to repair your own PS3, in just about any city a person can find some craiglister who will do it for anywhere from $40 to $75 bucks. (In my city there's at least 3-4 guys who do this as their sole source of income for somewhere around $50, takes them about 30 minutes, and you can be sure they are much better at it than a Sony employee ever could be...Sony isn't giving you NEW parts, they are giving you REFURBISHED parts, so this all comes down to just the labor.
If you think about it, you're often times really much better off using one of the local service guys. Most of the time your data is still intact, meaning you don't lose any game saves, etc...and you KNOW exactly how well that PS3 has, or has not been taken care of since it's the same one you bought.
But hey, I've bought 3 PS3's brand new from a store...sold my original 60G when they were still valuable, bought a 40Gig some time later, it recently crapped out on me so I just bought a slim...
I kinda wish I would have just paid some guy to fix my 40gig model, I do miss having the hardware off switch in the back, the slim doesn't, you have to unplug it or turn off the switch on your power strip. I point this both for periods of long term non-use and for those random crashes where holding the power button won't power off the system, which happens about once every 2 or 3 days on my slim.
Metroidvania is my favorite style of game...Would love a sequel to Harmony of Despair!

I am currently in the process of introducing a friend to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy amongst other geek classics. Last night when she came over for the evening I sat her down to watch the first episode of the BBC adaptation from 1981 and she really enjoyed it. I however found myself wondering something as we watched: Will the Guide itself ever be as amazing for her as it was for me and for all the generations prior to mine who watched, listened, or read about it? I don't think it will, and here's why.

I have shot both and like the M&P better.
hello all!
I am in the market for another handgun and am not sure which one I want. I am hoping that comments or suggestions on both of these will help me out. ie..problems with either or benefits of one over the other....
The 1st one is the m&p 9mm. The 2nd one is the Taurus pt92.
I know there are some taurus haters on here and I don't want pure taurus bashing. just honest opinions please!!
I have shot both and like the M&P better.
Smith and Wesson has the best warranty and customer service of any gun manufacturer. The M&P is a much better firearm too. Go with the M&P.
I was out looking at them today. the store I was at had a m&P for $499 plus a 50 dollar mail in rebate or 2 more mags and one with a laser grip for $719. the one with the laser grip did not have the manual safety on it though (gets in the way of the laser). one thing i did notice was that the safety seemed kind of cheap. maybe it was because it was the display model?
FWIW... Out of my 5 current handguns, only one has a safety... and I wish it didn't. To me, there's no need for a holstered gun to have a safety... and no need for an unholstered gun to have a safety... (except for the one between my ears). But that's just me.
I personally don't care for the M&P - because I hat ethe trigger. But honestly - if your two choices is a S&W and a Taurus - get the S&W.
If you like the 92 design, get a Beretta 92FS.
That's my personal fav. The fit and finish of the Beretta will be better than the Taurus.
I think S&W has some sort of rebate for the M&Ps right now.
The M&P is a solid handgun with a good reputation, made by a gun manufacturer with a good reputation. The same cannot be said for Taurus, though some folks seem to like them OK.
In a striker-fired polymer pistol, I'd choose a Springfield XD or a Glock over either of them, personally. The XD can often be purchased for less than the M&P, the Glock for about the same or a little more.
Between those 2- M&P all the way. The trigger can be improved (if need be with a Apex kit) and the warranty and support is much better.
The M&P is a fine gun, however the Taurus 92 is a fine gun too. I have help, shot and clean the Taurus 92 and I could not find anything offensive about it. I went into it thinking Taurus = crap because of what I had read and I walked away thinking what a sweet gun.
I would pick the M&P of the 2 but I wouldn't rule out the 92 Taurus, somply because its a Taurus, I'd shot it you might really like it.
It is my understanding that guns sent in for warranty repair that have after market parts installed will be restored with standard parts but they will be fixed.
Most M&P's will smooth out with a little use. Installing Apex sear and safety block will provide an instantaneous smoothing out of the trigger function. I have both and both work just fine.
I'm curious .. why have you limited your choice to a M&P or a Taurus ?
i like the 92 style gun but I prefer the taurus over the beretta for cost and accuracy. (I shoot the taurus better than beretta for whatever reason).
As for the m&p, I like the way it feels in my hand. It is very comfortable. i originally had a hard on for the xd, but the more I held it the more i disliked the way it felt in my hand. not only that but I did not care for the grip safety on the xd. i have big hands and it still felt as if i had to reach up to make sure it was pressed in.
(I do not have that problem on the kimber 1911. that grip safety feels like it was made for me. but that is beside the point. lol.)
Another reason i like the m&p is the price. I feel it is a great gun for a great price with a great manufacturer. However, after a trip to my local gun store i am now starting to like the glock 19 4th gen. felt great in my hands and i have shot a glock 19 before, just not the 4th gen. Here is my problem with glocks: it seems as if everyone has one. Is that so wrong of me? I know that can be a good thing, especially with availability of accesories.
So i guess now am I am confused as ever on what to buy, especially with another gun in the mix. lol. i think now that my choice is going to be between the m&p and the glock.
Help, comments and suggestions are very much welcome!! Everyone does a great job on this site!!
Why can't I just win the lottery and buy everything!!
Well to confuse you even more.
I'd suggest you look at a Sig Sauer Pro 2022.
This is a great shooting gun, with the famous Sig Trigger.
They are on sale now at Academy Sport & Outdoor for $399 w/o night sights or $479 with night sights.
Sig Sauer is a very fine gun indeed and with it being this price is competitive with any brand.
Well now that it is M&P or Glock 19 and the Sig 2022 is tossed in the answer is very clear to me what you should get
CZ P-01......fine choice, excellent gun. If I could own only one gun that is the one I would pick
Sorry dude I know that doesn't help........get the M&P of the 2 you are looking at now.
Thanks for all the help! I ended up getting the m&p 9mm full size. I have taken it to the range once so far and have no complaints!!

Given your 2 choices, I would take the M&P, but as mentioned here previously, the trigger is awful. Yes, you can install the Apex kit or even send it to S&W for their Performance Center Trigger job (which won't void the warranty) but once you spend all of that money, why not get a Glock 19/26 that you don't have to modify at all? Just my 2 cents.

FDA Backs Cartiva Implant for Osteoarthritis in the MTP Joint »
"The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee voted yesterday to recommend premarket approval of the Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant for use in pati"...
Read the FDA Backs Cartiva Implant for Osteoarthritis in the MTP Joint article »
(flavocoxid™) Capsules by Oral Administration. Dispensed by prescription. (U.S. patents 7,108,868 and 7,192,611; other patents pending.)
A specially formulated medical food product, consisting primarily of a proprietary blend of flavonoid (polyphenol) ingredients, for the clinical dietary management of the metabolic processes of osteoarthritis (OA). Must be administered under physician supervision.
OA as a Metabolic Deficiency Disease
Metabolic processes are important in the progression of OA. After initial damage to the joint due to trauma, overuse, or genetic factors, a cascade of inflammation, triggered by the release of cytokines (e.g., TNFα, IL-β, IL-6), begins the development of OA. These cytokines up-regulate the expression of COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) and 5-LOX (5-lipoxygenase) enzymes, which metabolize fatty acids in the joint. This process is both enzymatic as well as oxidative, and occurs at a cellular level where the essential fatty acid, arachidonic acid (AA), is converted into various inflammatory products. With age, elevated levels of AA accumulate both from the diet and increased conversion of phospholipids produced by further damage to cells in the joint. Therefore, OA is sustained by imbalanced AA metabolism. Managing AA metabolism benefits OA patients by decreasing the damaging, metabolic inflammatory processes in the joint to improve functional mobility, reduce stiffness, and decrease joint discomfort.
When joint damage occurs, phospholipids released from damaged cell membranes are converted to AA. Enzymatic breakdown of AA then generates fatty acid metabolites that are involved in platelet aggregation, maintenance of stomach mucosa, organ function, proper blood flow, urine production, blood pressure, viral immunity, bone turnover and tissue repair. AA is metabolized via the COX (COX-1 & COX-2) and LOX (5-LOX) pathways to thromboxanes, prostaglandins, prostacyclins, and leukotrienes. Balanced AA metabolism by COX-1 and COX-2 is essential to sustain proper levels of critical regulators for renal and cardiovascular function maintained by thromboxanes (vasoconstrictors) and prostacyclins (vasodilators). An imbalance of these metabolites can result in high blood pressure, peripheral edema and, in severe cases, myocardial infarction. AA, metabolized by 5-LOX, produces leukotrienes (particularly LTB4), that are strong chemoattractant molecules responsible for the migration of white blood cells (WBCs) to the site of injury. WBCs attracted to the joint by leukotrienes release histamines, produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytokines, triggering additional inflammatory processes not treated by traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or selective COX-2 inhibitors. Inhibition of either or both COX-1 and COX-2 has been shown to shunt AA metabolism down the 5-LOX pathway, thereby potentially increasing, rather than reducing, inflammation in cartilage. In addition, AA is converted via an oxidative mechanism mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) to the oxidized lipids F2-isoprostanes, malondialdehyde, and 4-hydroxynonenal that directly degrade cartilage and induce production of other inflammatory proteins.
Primary Ingredients
LIMBREL (flavocoxid) consists of a proprietary blend of two types of flavonoids, Free-B-Ring flavonoids and flavans, from Scutellaria baicalensis and Acacia catechu, respectively. These ingredients in LIMBREL (flavocoxid) are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). For an ingredient to be recognized as GRAS, it requires technical demonstration of non-toxicity and safety, general recognition of safety through widespread usage, and agreement of that safety by experts in the field. Many ingredients have been determined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be GRAS, and are listed as such by regulation, in Volume 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Sections 182, 184, and 186. Other ingredients may achieve "self-affirmed" GRAS status via a panel of experts in the pertinent field who co-author a GRAS Report. Finally, the FDA has specifically permitted a few ingredients as safe medical foods ingredients in Volume 21 CFR Section 172.345(f).
Flavonoids are a group of phytochemical compounds found in all vascular plants, including fruits and vegetables. They are a part of a larger class of compounds known as polyphenols. Many of the therapeutic or health benefits of colored fruits and vegetables, red wine, and green tea are directly related to their flavonoid content.
The specially formulated flavonoids found in LIMBREL (flavocoxid) , or their related compounds (i.e., other flavonoids, anthocyanins), cannot be obtained from conventional foods in the normal American diet at the same level as found in LIMBREL (flavocoxid) . This quantity of daily flavonoid intake generally would need to be significantly greater for patients with hypochlorhydria or low intrinsic factor, both of which occur most often in the elderly population. OA may not be managed simply by a change to the normal diet due to the high volume of vegetable and fruit matter that would need to be consumed.
The primary Free-B-Ring flavonoid is baicalin (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone,7-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside), derived from the phytochemical food source material Scutellaria baicalensis, with a molecular weight of 446.37. Its molecular formula is C21H18O11, with the following chemical structure:
The primary flavan is composed of catechin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavan (2R,3S form)), and its stereo-isomer, epicatechin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavan (2R,3R form)) from the phytochemical food source material Acacia catechu with a molecular weight of 290.27. Its molecular formula is C15H14O6, with the following chemical structure:
Other Ingredients
LIMBREL (flavocoxid) contains the following "inactive" or other ingredients as fillers, excipients, and colorings: magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, Maltodextrin NF, gelatin (as the capsule material), titanium dioxide, FD&C Blue #1, and FD&C Green #3. Capsules do not contain fructose, glucose, sucrose, lactose, gluten or flavors.
Medical Foods
Medical food products are often used in hospitals (e.g., for burn victims or kidney dialysis patients) and outside of a hospital setting under a physician's care (e.g., for PKU, AIDS patients, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis) for the dietary management of diseases in patients with particular medical or metabolic needs due to their disease or condition. Congress defined "medical food" in the Orphan Drug Act and Amendments of 1988 as "a food which is formulated to be consumed or administered enterally [or orally] under the supervision of a physician, and which is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation." LIMBREL (flavocoxid) has been developed, manufactured, and labeled in accordance with both the statutory and the FDA regulatory definition of a medical food. LIMBREL (flavocoxid) is to be used under a physician's supervision.
Physical Description
LIMBREL (flavocoxid) is a yellow to light brown powder. It is partially soluble in water and glycerol, soluble in ethanol, methanol, and acetonitrile. It is practically insoluble in hexane. Each capsule of LIMBREL contains 250 mg or 500 mg of flavocoxid, as noted in the Primary Ingredients Section.

"Roaring Twenties Holiday Madrigal Dinner" cast
UTSA hosts 'Roaring Twenties Holiday Madrigal Dinner' Dec. 1-3
By Kareem El Dahab
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(Nov. 22, 2005)--The UTSA Department of Music presents the "Roaring Twenties Holiday Madrigal Dinner" at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 1, and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2-3 at the University Center Laurel Room (2.01.28) on the UTSA 1604 Campus. The event is sponsored by KCI, Mission Pharmacal Company and Cox Smith Matthews, Inc.
The President's Madrigal Dinner Dec. 1 benefits music scholarships. Honorary chair Mayor Phil Hardberger will co-host the event with President Ricardo Romo and Dr. Harriett Romo, and UTSA supporters Beverly and Neill Walsdorf.

Tickets for the President's Madrigal Dinner are $125; for reservations, call Helene Benitez at (210) 458-4404. Tickets for the Dec. 2 and 3 performances benefiting the Department of Music are $35 and $45; for reservations, call Naomy Ybarra at (210) 458-4357.
In their 29th year at UTSA, the madrigal dinners include a performance set to music accompanied by a holiday dinner. This year's production steps back in time to the 1920s. Replacing the madrigals of Elizabethan composers will be hits of the period such as "You Gotta See Mama Every Night," "Sweet Georgia Brown," "Blue Skies" and "Singin' in the Rain."
Instead of dancing the pavane and galliard of the Renaissance, the cast will kick up their heels to the Charleston. This is the era of Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth and stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford. Entertainment would never be the same after the first sound motion pictures were ushered in and the unmistakable sound of jazz was in the air. Flappers were "Puttin' on the Ritz" and gangsters were smuggling illegal hooch. It was a time when the gin was cold and the jazz was hot.
A madrigal is a medieval poem set to music. The traditional madrigal dinner is a re-creation of the Renaissance feasts held in the great baronial halls of England during the 12 days of Christmas. Those lucky enough to be guests at a feast were dazzled with pageantry, humor and large amounts of food accompanied by a mixture of sacred and secular music.
The traditional madrigal dinner uses a Renaissance "masque," or play, as the focus of the entertainment. Everything is in character during the feast with the performers in Renaissance costumes singing music from the period. The masque ties together the theme of the event beginning with a welcome by the jester, continuing through short performances during the meal, and ending with a masque and a farewell.

The Cleveland Cavaliers reached out to the Portland Trail Blazers and offered their Nos. 1 and 19 picks in the NBA draft for LaMarcus Aldridge, according to sources.
The Blazers rejected the proposed trade.
The Cavaliers have reportedly narrowed their list of candidates for the top pick.
Aldridge would've gone great with LeBron.
I would if the Blazers even considered taking Noel
As a Blazers fan, I'm torn here. Our current core is good enough to become a top 4 team in the west in the next two-three years if we can add just a couple more pieces.
That said, tearing it totally down is tempting.
Aldridge for Noel+19
Batum for 2014 first++
Build it around Lillard. Sit Noel next year and super-tank for Wiggins.
Read an article today that had the cavs trading Andy and the 19th pick for Danny Granger. I would love that.
He's 30 now and his numbers have trended downwards for the past handful of years. He's not that cornerstone player people thought he would be anymore. Varejo actually makes a nice pairing next to Hibbert and they gain a 1st rounder.
It's not that bad of a deal.
The difference in salary between him and #19 vs. Granger is a few million, which helps them resign West.
We just drafted a center last year.

|TE Lawrence in the traditional dress of the Arab tribes he studied and fought with
Lawrence gained his 'of Arabia' during the First World War, where his adoption of Arab dress, language, and custom gained him the respect of King Faisal, and convinced British brass to give T.E.L. a free hand to conduct commando raids on Turkish positions, using Arab tribesmen as his soldiers. After his rampant successes during the War (and promotion to Lieutenant-Colonel), he returned to England and sought the anonymity of enlisted military service to escape his fame, which partly resulted from cooperation with journalist Lowell Thomas during the Arab Campaign (Thomas sent frequent, romantic/heroic stories about Lawrence to the English press, and made him a hero). 'The Mint' chronicles those years spent in the RAF.
|TE Lawrence with a camel and an Enfield rifle
Of course, Lawrence writes here about his experience riding his Brough Superior S.S.100 model.
|TE Lawrence with his first Brough Superior SS100, 'Boanerges', of which he writes in 'The Road'
"The extravagance in which my surplus emotion expressed itself lay on the road. So long as roads were tarred blue and straight; not hedged; and empty and dry, so long I was rich.
Nightly I'd run up from the hangar, upon the last stroke of work, spurring my tired feet to be nimble. The very movement refreshed them, after the day-long restraint of service. In five minutes my bed would be down, ready for the night: in four more I was in breeches and puttees, pulling on my gauntlets as I walked over to my bike, which lived in a garage-hut, opposite. Its tyres never wanted air, its engine had a habit of starting at second kick: a good habit, for only by frantic plunges upon the starting pedal could my puny weight force the engine over the seven atmospheres of its compression.
Boanerges' first glad roar at being alive again nightly jarred the huts of Cadet College into life. 'There he goes, the noisy bugger,' someone would say enviously in every flight. It is part of an airman's profession to be knowing with engines: and a thoroughbred engine is our undying satisfaction. The camp wore the virtue of my Brough like a flower in its cap. Tonight Tug and Dusty came to the step of our hut to see me off. 'Running down to Smoke, perhaps?' jeered Dusty; hitting at my regular game of London and back for tea on fine Wednesday afternoons.
|George Brough - on crutches after an accident - and TE Lawrence in 1930
Another bend: and I have the honour of one of England' straightest and fastest roads. The burble of my exhaust unwound like a long cord behind me. Soon my speed snapped it, and I heard only the cry of the wind which my battering head split and fended aside. The cry rose with my speed to a shriek: while the air's coldness streamed like two jets of iced water into my dissolving eyes. I screwed them to slits, and focused my sight two hundred yards ahead of me on the empty mosaic of the tar's gravelled undulations.
Like arrows the tiny flies pricked my cheeks: and sometimes a heavier body, some house-fly or beetle, would crash into face or lips like a spent bullet. A glance at the speedometer: seventy-eight. Boanerges is warming up. I pull the throttle right open, on the top of the slope, and we swoop flying across the dip, and up-down up-down the switchback beyond: the weighty machine launching itself like a projectile with a whirr of wheels into the air at the take-off of each rise, to land lurchingly with such a snatch of the driving chain as jerks my spine like a rictus.
|The Bristol F2B fighter
The next mile of road was rough. I braced my feet into the rests, thrust with my arms, and clenched my knees on the tank till its rubber grips goggled under my thighs. Over the first pot-hole Boanerges screamed in surprise, its mud-guard bottoming with a yawp upon the tyre. Through the plunges of the next ten seconds I clung on, wedging my gloved hand in the throttle lever so that no bump should close it and spoil our speed. Then the bicycle wrenched sideways into three long ruts: it swayed dizzily, wagging its tail for thirty awful yards. Out came the clutch, the engine raced freely: Boa checked and straightened his head with a shake, as a Brough should.
The bad ground was passed and on the new road our flight became birdlike. My head was blown out with air so that my ears had failed and we seemed to whirl soundlessly between the sun-gilt stubble fields. I dared, on a rise, to slow imperceptibly and glance sideways into the sky. There the Bif was, two hundred yards and more back. Play with the fellow? Why not? I slowed to ninety: signalled with my hand for him to overtake. Slowed ten more: sat up. Over he rattled. His passenger, a helmeted and goggled grin, hung out of the cock-pit to pass me the 'Up yer' Raf randy greeting.
|TE Lawrence in his incognito years within the Tank Corps. Not his unusual one-piece linen suit. The watch he's wearing is an Omega aviator-chronograph, which now supposedly sits in the Omega museum, Biel, Switzerland.
We drew near the settlement. A long mile before the first houses I closed down and coasted to the cross-roads by the hospital. Bif caught up, banked, climbed and turned for home, waving to me as long as he was in sight. Fourteen miles from camp, we are, here: and fifteen minutes since I left Tug and Dusty at the hut door.
I let in the clutch again, and eased Boanerges down the hill along the tram-lines through the dirty streets and up-hill to the aloof cathedral, where it stood in frigid perfection above the cowering close. No message of mercy in Lincoln. Our God is a jealous God: and man's very best offering will fall disdainfully short of worthiness, in the sight of Saint Hugh and his angels.
Remigius, earthy old Remigius, looks with more charity on and Boanerges. I stabled the steel magnificence of strength and speed at his west door and went in: to find the organist practising something slow and rhythmical, like a multiplication table in notes on the organ. The fretted, unsatisfying and unsatisfied lace-work of choir screen and spandrels drank in the main sound. Its surplus spilled thoughtfully into my ears.
|Lawrence on his 1926 Brough Superior SS100
At Nottingham I added sausages from my wholesaler to the bacon which I'd bought at Lincoln: bacon so nicely sliced that each rasher meant a penny. The solid pannier-bags behind the saddle took all this and at my next stop a (farm) took also a felt-hammocked box of fifteen eggs. Home by Sleaford, our squalid, purse-proud, local village. Its butcher had six penn'orth of dripping ready for me. For months have I been making my evening round a marketing, twice a week, riding a hundred miles for the joy of it and picking up the best food cheapest, over half the country side."

It's peach season, it's summer, it's hot. Why not get the best out of the seasonal produce and beat the heat with Grilled Peach Ice Cream! No I didn't grill the ice cream, I grilled the peaches and put them into the ice cream. This dessert is kid friendly and super easy to make. It was creamy and smoky and sweet.
I guess I should explain the asterisks on the time it takes to make the Grilled Peach Ice Cream. It really doesn't take long, but the freezing time is where it gets you. I don't exactly have a place to put that. But basically you have to wait, impossibly hard because it smells and tastes so good, for the ice cream to set for at least 2 hours in the freezer.

After midnight of every day. Technically it's the next day, but doesn't the next day really start when you wake up in the morning? Therefore; anything happening between midnight, and before you go to bed doesn't really fall into a proper day's definition, and technically never happened. Particularly useful while partying all night.
We were so shit-faced we nailed a picnic table to the neighbors house at 4am last night. Technically, that never even happened cause it was on noday.

Headphone Cables item created by jacksonchansf, Jan 2, 2013
Pros - Great build quality and sound
Cons - Maybe a little cumbersome
Grado Adaptor Cable 6.3mm to 3.5mm (15cm Length)
The title has the conversion about face. The Grado product converts from large to small aperture. Not the other way around.
This adaptor does not degrade the (high quality) sound of headphones in any way. It can be very difficult to find a quality 6.3 mm to 3.5 mm adapter. Most of these things are just very short socket to plug adapters that provide no strain relief. This Grado adaptor relieves the strain put on the 3.5mm plug because of the extra (approx. 6") cable length between the plug and the 6.3mm socket. On the obverse it can be a little bulky but (IMO) makes perfect sense to protect your equipment. There are many other adapters out there, but these are well made to the highest quality specification. They also come from a company with a very well thought of reputation for their headphones.

Former UTEP, NBA star Tim Hardaway supports same-sex unions in Florida
EL PASO, Texas - Tim Hardaway, who in 2007 made waves for his anti-gay statements, became the first person to sign a petition Wednesday to repeal a 2008 Florida amendment banning same-sex unions.
Hardaway signed the Equal Marriage Florida petition at a public ceremony Wednesday night at a Miami tavern alongside EMF organizer Vanessa Brito.
"If true, this gladdens my heart tremendously," actor and gay rights advocate George Takei wrote on his Facebook page. "I once 'called out' NBA star Tim Hardaway for his homo-hating ways. And now he has become an ally. People indeed do change if you give them a chance and keep open dialogue."
In late April, James Collins was the first active NBA player to come out as gay which led a lot of people on Twitter wondering what Hardaway thought of Collins' announcement.
"I'm happy for him. I know he hid it for a long time, but now he doesn't have to hide it anymore," Hardaway told the Palm Beach Post in April regarding Collins' announcement. "He is who he is and everybody's got to accept him for who he is."
Hardaway was criticized nationally in 2007 after he made an anti-gay rant on a Miami radio show.
Hardaway told the Palm Beach Post in late April that what he said in 2007 was terrible.
"...It was bad and I live with it every day. It was like a bully going to beat up people every day. … They're people just like we're people. Let them live their lives just like we live our lives," Hardaway told the Palm Beach Post.
In Aug. 2011, Hardaway was a completely different person from the one in 2007 and was in El Paso to show support for the "No Recall" group that was formed to try and provoke a change of heart for those who oppose health benefits for gay and unmarried partners of City of El Paso employees.
"It's not right to not let the gays and lesbians have equal rights here," Hardaway said in El Paso in 2011 when he pledged his support to the "No Recall" group.
Hardaway has been working with gay rights groups in Miami since 2007.
"If I know El Paso, like they came together when the 1966 team won a championship and Don Haskins started those five guys, I know the city will grow and understand that gays and lesbians need equal rights," Hardaway said.
Hardaway told ABC-7 in 2011 his "change of heart" came from those closest to him.
"My family and friends came to me and was like, 'what are you doing?' I talked to them and they made me understand that wasn't right," he said. "
While some people still think the anti-gay rant is his legacy, Hardaway doesn't.
"But you know what, everybody thinks that's my legacy. That's not my legacy, my legacy is the UTEP 2-step," Hardaway said in 2011.
Hardaway was a finalist for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in early April but was not selected for induction. His son, Tim Hardaway Jr., was selected by the New York Knicks in the NBA Draft in June.

It is an easy tram ride to the center and Natasha and Alexander are excellent hosts.The breakfasts were tasty and generous and the bed is very comfortable. We highly recommend the Cherry Tree, thank-you Natasha!
Room: more beautiful than it looks in pictures!
Premises and bathroom: spotlessly clean
Location: within 20 min of lovely walk from all the great museums. Or a 7-8 min tram ride
Breakfasts: out of the world. You can carry the leftovers with you. They are so plentiful they will last you till dinnertime!
Hosts: Alexander and natasha are the kindest hosts we have ever seen. They will go out of the way to help the guests.

We had 4 really nice Days at Natasha's Place. It is a big, bright Room with all you need in it. There is also a small Garden, where you can take a seat and relax.
Breakfast is included and really, really good.
Natasha was lovely. We always had a lot to talk about and she was very accommodating. Breakfast was wonderful every morning and she even made a point to have us try traditional Dutch food, it was such a great experience from start to finish. Her instructions made it very easy to reach the house from the airport. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at the cherry tree bed and breakfast. Natasha made the most lovely host and had great breakfasts every day. The room was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this highly.
We stayed at Natasha's for 4 nights. She is a wonderful woman with lots of humor and kindness. The room is nice and big and the bed is very comfortable. The extra toilet is a bit small but alright.
We were very lucky with the weather, so we could also enjoy sitting outside in the garden. Every day started with a delicious breakfast (bacon, eggs, pancakes, fruits, ...) with enough left overs to take for lunch.
The house lies in a very nice and calm area, ouside of the busy city centre. Thanks to the good weather we always walked into the city, crossing the beautiful Vondelpark. But if you prefer taking the tram you can reach it within 5 minutes walkingdistance.
I can only recommend staying with Natasha and Alexander.
We totally fell in love with Amsterdam, so it is for sure we will come back and I will definitely be booking the Cherry Tree Bed and Breakfast again :)
We really enjoyed being here it was more than a pleasure for us. Natasa, the owner, was really nice and she made an excellent breakfast for us every day. So good!! If you love the family feeling - it's the perfekt place to stay! We recommend staying here. Sven+ Moni

All was great ;)
Thanks for all Natasa!!!
Our stay in the apartment of Natasha and Alexander was wonderful. We loved staying there. Natasha received us very well, was very attentive to us and explained everything corretly.The room was spacious, bed very comfortable, with a sofa and TV. There was a terrace with two chairs to be relaxed and Natasha planted many plants. It was all quite nice.
The best thing was breakfast. A great breaksfast with fruit, cheese, ham, orange juice, all ..... it was very delicious and the surprise was that, the last day to return, she gave us flowers and chocolate. A great woman and hostess! we'll come without any doubt!
About Amsterdam, the most beautiful canals, scenic cruise through the canals, the Heiniken experience and icebar experience indeed! :)
We spend 3 Nights and it was very exciting not to say familiary beeing hosted by Natasa. We highly apreciated her care and discussions during breakfast time. By the way breakfast...never had that excellent variaty for breakfast. Natasa is very creative to enchant morning surprises.
The flat itself is in good location near to tram. But recommendation is bring your bike and explore amsterdam by cycling around. But be carefull of all the other cyclers who are in hurry.
The room itself is very spacy and silent in night.
Upstairs bathroom needs to be shared with the hosts but no conflict at all over the three days.
Altogether wonderful stay in Amsterdam.

I'm 39 years old, divorced with no kids, and I'm not interested in having any. I'm very independent and definitely not looking for someone to take care of me financially. Although I love spending quality time with the person I'm with, I do also need some 'me' time.
As you can see, I'm a big woman. I tend to yo-yo a bit, and would like to drop some pounds. I'd love to find someone who can motivate me to live a healthier lifestyle.
Politically, I'm a Libertarian and politics are important to me.
I'm sweet but sarcastic and opinionated (I could test the patience of a saint sometimes LOL). I'm very loyal and affectionate. Sometimes, I'm honest to the point of being blunt which not everyone can handle. Being in a relationship with me is both challenging and rewarding, so I'm hoping to find someone who can appreciate that.
I'm still hoping to find that one guy who isn't perfect, just perfect for me. Someone who's tired of the games and looking for a committed relationship.
I'm NOT looking for FWBs or casual sex. Just someone to get to know and see where it goes. I'd like to get out to see the city, catch a movie, go shopping, go out to dinner, or go target shooting (this is one of my favorite hobbies, so felons and those not legally able to own guns need not apply).
I'm looking to actually meet in person. If you're only looking to text or talk on the phone, I'm not the person for you. Let's meet up and get to know each other!
I know myself very well and know what I want and need in a man, and I'm hoping to find someone who is also to the point where he knows who he is and what he wants.

A Wine Lover's Retreat to the Sunrise Side
Thunder Bay Resort • Hillman, MI
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Suite ($306)
- A Two-Night Stay for up to Four in a Villa ($552)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for up to Six in a Chalet ($762)
- Three Wine Tasting Sessions With Food
- One Souvenir Wine Glass and a Gift Basket
- One Tour of Alpena
- Two Vouchers to the Besser Museum and Planetarium and Thunder Bay
The Destination
If there's a single place for the quintessential Michigan experience, it's probably Hillman. Four hours north of Detroit, this small town revels in its iconic vistas of elk-laden fields and thick, woodsy forests that bubble with excitement year round—from top-rated sleigh rides in winter to scenic, breezy hikes in summer. A smattering of crystalline lakes shimmer across this region that has become something of a hot spot for foodies and wine enthusiasts due to a budding restaurant scene and a bevy of local wineries.
The Digs
The care shown to Thunder Bay Resort's greens is evident throughout its facilities. Cozy condo-style units are nestled among sturdy hardwoods, sleek birches, and lush marshes and includes fireplaces, living rooms, decks, and often whirlpool tubs. Getting lost on a cross-country trail seems like exactly the sort of thing to pin on this blissful Northeastern Michigan wilderness, where you can observe surreal views as you hike and bike through the resort's 500 picturesque, wooded acres. In fact, you'll want to bring your cameras and capture majestic Elk during your excursion through the private elk preserve.
The Diversions
• Placate your palate to wine tasting tour on the Sunrise Side Wine & Hops Trail
• Experience a showcase of Northeast Michigan's artists, scientists, and historians at Besser Museum
• Take a tour of Great Lakes shipwrecks at the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary
• Climb aboard a horse-drawn sleigh and have a peak at wild elk year-round.

Windows XPSP3
Sandboxie 3.64 (x32)
Hey, folks.
I've lately started using a stylus and tablet and find that workflow's much better using X-mouse, which can foreground different windows for you and set the focus/caret to them just by the position of your mouse-pointer. This is useful glancing at references or with multiple monitors, different editor windows open to sample colors, etc.
Thus far I've just been using the X-Mouse option in TweakUI (v 188.8.131.52 for XPSP1 and higher... http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Syst ... akUI.shtml) to enable this. It's nice given it just makes changes and can be closed (versus adding one more utility process that can crash at any time and break functionality until I restart), but it still gets rather tedious to tick off the checkbox to use the feature then "apply" changes each time I change to look at my inbox or something while I'm working.
I was looking to use Sandboxie to figure out just what settings are being altered so I could implement a standalone control and link it to shortcut, however I think registry-access is not being controlled correctly. Unsandboxed there's a change to UserPreferencesMask in HCKU\Control Panel\Desktop but when sandboxed SandBoxDiff reports it's done nothing (no writes) to the sandbox hive. In addition, there aren't signs that anything else was done, including whatever magic Tweak does to populate the registry changes to the operating system and have them become active. Finding /that/ out is really the key here. I feel like I might need still a finer-toothed comb.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks Jaime for the hint of freezing the leaves. Stinging nettle will be available soon so I'll stock that for later use.
Sorry to hear about the fridge bailing out on you.
You think there will be a problem using dried trimmings from my other planted tank? I have some plants that will always grow like a weed and I was thinking on drying the trimmings and use them for food but I'm reluctant to do that because of the ferts I use. Don't know how much Copper plants will store and that might end up harming the shrimp.

There is always a risk when you put something in your tank, doesn't matter if its fresh veggies or not. I feed organic kale, baby spinach and organic zucchini. I buy organic (though that doesn't mean pesticides weren't used) and I use a veggie wash, then I boil them for 3-5 minutes. Separate out on a plate, put in the freezer, then put in a ziplock bag. With all that I feel safer in what I feed them. Kale is a favorite of my shrimps and higher in calcium than Spinach. Stinging nettle is their absolute favorite thing in the whole world, I have it growing at my farm. But all of the plants are dead right now from the cold weather and our fridge died this week wiping out hundreds of dollars of food....including the last of the nettle I had boiled and frozen. Grrrrrrrrr.
I'm about to embark on making some of my own food as well. I've got spirulina, axastanthin, fennel and a few other things in as well (that I can't remember off the bat). Will be using agar agar as a binder. Will be experimenting a bit to find the best texture as I like the foods that are more easily breakable, not hard as rocks. Once growing season starts back up I'll be doing a lot of things with the nettle
So you can make your own food, but feeding them veggies is a common practice in the hobby. If you are concerned with pesticides, grow your own so you know exactly what's happened with them along the way Boiling the veggies is a good way to get rid of any possible pesticides AFAIK.
hi there i love your post!
My friend why to discover new ways when you can walk the good ones?
google for Imke's shrimp food and you will find good receipts all of them the best IMO
for dryed banana leaves ( you can use stinging nettle instead, walnut leaves are avaiable in your region also, mulberry leaves, cherry leaves, apple tree and such.... ) put some spirulina also ...
but you can find a ornamental banana tree i think and get a bity of that too LOL!
good luck!
my last batch of DIY food turned from bright green to black but they love it!
somewhatshocked makes his own shrimp food and sells it here in the FS/FT board. He'd probably be able to comment more on what he does to make it.
I haven't encountered any issues with pesticides on my spinach, but I give it a pretty good rinse before adding any fresh veggie to my tank.
Shrimp ghetto food
Hi TPT!
I'm a fan of DIY and all kinds of improvisations when a commercial product doesn't quite fit the bill.
In my country the LFSs are quite behind these "new" trends of keeping shrimp. They don't have any products meant for shrimp. Although they sell them, mostly neos and amano.
Long story short, I like to improvise with food besides various equipment. One path that I've taken is to create a food for my shrimp as I suspect I'm doing something bad feeding them typical fish flakes.
In this food that I'm thinking on making myself I planned to include: cellulose, clay, hemp flour, dried aquarium plant trimmings, algae based gelatin as a binder and chitin.
The ingredients I'm planning on buying from organic/nature shops as they tend to be grown in clean environments (so they say).

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Just went out and checked again and now there were alot more bees in the box. I remembered that the frames were sliding around when I put up the trap so, I decided to take it out of the bushes and set it on a bucket. I opened the top and it was packed with bees pouring out all over, I straightened the frames and put the top back on. In shorts, tshirt and no head gear, didn't get stung once! My only problem is the box is 11" deep with medium frames. My question is should I transfer to a medium hive right away or should I give them some time. I can almost feel them attaching all kinds of cross comb from the bottom of the frames.
