The potential impact of the dry North Island summer on Mighty River Power's second-half performance is a reminder of earnings volatility in state-owned energy companies, says an analyst.
Milford Asset Management senior analyst William Curtayne said that while MRP's operational data for the first six months of the financial year had been strong, hydro conditions "may cause headwinds" for the rest of the period.
"When we talk about the weather impact for Mighty River it's more about the margins. You could potentially have a tougher second half but that doesn't mean earnings are going to fall through the floor and they end up having a terrible result."
Mighty River is the first of the state-owned assets being prepared for partial sale and volatility in earnings as a result of varying rainfall was something investors would have to get used to, he said.
"While Mighty River is a strong business, earnings will swing as hydro generation fluctuates depending how much rain falls and where."
A year of low rainfall in its Lake Taupo catchment could affect earnings by around 5 per cent, Curtayne said.
"They have a very good portfolio in that they can balance their long and short generation. Their volatility of earnings is not massive compared to Meridian, or Contact in the past."
The company has a growing geothermal portfolio but the bulk of its generation still comes from its power stations along the Waikato River.
Lake levels in Taupo had fallen steadily since October, meaning without significant rainfall Mighty River's hydro generation was likely to decline, Curtayne said.
Lower generation was okay if it was matched by an increase in wholesale electricity prices but those prices were currently subdued because of high lake levels in the South Island.
Another analyst, who did not want to be named, said it could be "a year of two halves" for MRP, whose sale is still subject to a Supreme Court challenge this week by the Maori Council.
Mighty River Power on Tuesday said sales grew 12 per cent in the three months to December 31 as both residential and commercial consumers used more energy and the company gained new customers. The majority of the gain came from a 22 per cent increase in volumes to business customers, compared with the December 2011 quarter.
MRP also showed customer growth in both the North and South Islands, with 391,000 customers in the north, compared with 383,000 a year earlier, and 43,000 southern customers, up from 37,000 in December 2011.
Total electricity production was up 6 per cent in the quarter, compared with the same period a year earlier.
Taupo hydrology is currently at 76 per cent of the average. The company said the difference between the average and current levels equated to less than one day's national electricity consumption.

No new flight sim to play? Try Steambirds
Posted on 8th Mar 2010 at 10:30 by James Gorbold with 12 comments
These days however it's almost impossible to buy a new flight sim. Very few have been released in recent years, and the few that have been all suffer from a serious number of problems - Flight Sim X runs like a dog regardless how much hardware you throw at it.

Nerf VORTEX PC. - 20TH NOVEMBER: Finished-ish
(I don't have a fancy custom logo yet, so this will have to do for now)
This project has been worked on for a while now, started way before Project: Wet Rarity kicked off. but the actual start of the project was an unexpected one...
Intel's Sandybridge had just hit the scene. and having issues with heat with my i7 920 skt1366 system. i was eager to jump to SB quickly. so selling off my i7 920, asus p6tD and ram to a friend. i went and got me an 2500K, a sabertooth p67 and 8gb vengance ram.
then i got an email.
what to do? my friend who purchased my old stuff couldn't afford it, and didn't want it. nobody else i knew would want to buy it, and then spend more cash getting a CPU and ram for it. At the time, i had no access to Bit-tech's marketplace so couldn't sell it there.... i was stuck with it. so i decided to actually build something with it.. but what would be a good theme build to use the board with.
proper military/FPS game style PC's have been done to death before... but something that is obviously gun themed would look out of place anywhere else... what other things could i use a gun themed motherboard... i thought hard about it, but the answer was clearly on the wall.
I am a huge Nerf gun fanatic, buying and modifying them. so could i turn the G1 killer board into a G1 Nerfer... let's see if i can. only thing was, i really didn't fancy having a Nerf yellow case... wait, the new Vortex guns are green, green's a good colour and the G1 had green on it too, and it works well with orange.
But that was still just the board, i had nothing to put it in and use it. Nor did i have the money to buy all new parts. fortunately, i had just gained access to the Bit-tech marketplace. a wretched hive of scum an...... wait, that's not true at all. it's a wonderful place of great deals and an excellent userbase. could i manage to get all the parts i need at low prices?
strike 1 was a lucky find, a Silverstone TJ-07 PLUS a quad 10mm Radiator at a ridiculous price. I immediately purchased that, as the TJ-07 is one of the finest cases around, plus the quad rad would keep a i7 system under control with ease.
later purchases included a i7 930. SSd drives, a laing DDC pump, a EK supreme waterblock and a tube reservoir. ebay filled out 6gb of ram while the only new purchases were for a 650W antec PSU and with a new 560ti going in my main PC, vortex inherited my old GTX 470 and waterblock.
adding it all together, and started modding things. first off, the G1 got a makeover, all the black heatsinks got a coat of orange paint, along with the stock green for a more Nerf-y look. Ram sticks also got painted orange to match.
meanwhile, the TJ-07 took a while before i had the time to start work on it (lots of time at work, couple of anime conventions, bad weather, etc)
The first choice was to flip the motherboard tray. considering that this will probably live on the left side of my desk. i wouldn't get to see much through the case window.. this does of course require a fair bit of modification to the case, along with cutting a new window opening on the other side panel. braided cable extensions will neaten up the cable routing, as all the stock PSU cables can be kept hidden in the lower chamber.
Flipping the board also helps with the watercooling layout, and also exposes the graphics card waterblock. the tj-07 was missing it's roof mesh grill, but i'm going to replace that with some clear perspex for a window. you should be able to see the fluid flowing through the graphics card through the top of the case
I'm disapointed in how the TJ-07 looks like it was designed to invert without modifications, even having screw holes in the correct places. however, it's not as simple as swapping the tray rails. looks like they'll need cutting in order to fit in. however, the only good tool we have here for cutting metal, is a rather fierce angle grinder..
it frankly scares me a bit, so i ask my father nicely to cut down a rail for me. in hindsight, perhaps i shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion quickly. (it's looking like i didn't need to even waste time in doing this)
The case came with 2 pre-drilled holes, fitted with fillports. to keep things simple and clean, i stuck everything on a single loop, so having 2 fill ports seemed a bit daft, but what could i do with a hole i can't fill... hang on, i do have some cold cathodes for this case...
fill the hole with the cathode's power switch. easy access, and hole filling.
Let's talk about this Radiator. no idea who made it, but it's massive! most TJ-07 casemods gut the lower part of the case to fit radiators, and this one juuuuusssttt fits in there.
It came with 4 fan spacers, but after putting in my PSU, could only really use 2 of them. (mostly cause with all 4 in place, it was right up against the PSU body)
I also had a lack of suitable length screws to hold all the fans + shrouds on the radiator. so i used 2 of them, but in order to attach them, i had to remove the corners of the first 2 fans. speaking of which, they're Akasa Black Apache 120mm PWM fans. pretty good airflow to noise, and with the PWM function (all 4 fans are linked to 1 PWM plug via a splitter cable), they adjust their speed automatically via the motherboard.
drilled a new hole in the bottom of the case. but for what?
positioned near the radiator.
attached to the bottom of the radiator is a crystal T-block.
the hole in the floor is in the right position to unscrew a blanking plug in the T block. this will allow me to drain the watercooling system, much like changing the oil on a car.
"why not use a T line and a shutoff valve?" you may ask. Plan to use Mayhems Aurora fluid. in testing however, it was discovered that T lines actually separate the pearl effect, making Aurora useless. hopefully, by sing the T block, it should eliminate the pocket that the pearl effect can get stuck in, yet still allow drainage.
Here's current progress.
You may have noticed the colour, it's not hard to miss, fluorescent green tends to stand out (for some reason, the camera flash makes it look like a metallic coat, i assure you it's not)
there was a pic of it in white primer, but it's stuck on a camera somewhere...
the side panels need painting, when the weather turns good again. should look bold in orange, leaving the grills black. the front panel has 2 Antec 1200 HDD cages/front fans installed (a castoff from Wet Rarity) and will eventually end up orange some day. the internals may stay in black, not decided on that yet..
This Project log may have sporadic updates, compared to Wet Rarity. mostly because since WR is my main PC, it's taking priority. Vortex is a fun project. there's no real deadline for me to finish it, unless Nerf themselves or some other sponsor want me to hurry and finish it. (mind you. i've not actively asked any sponsor or Nerf themselves to help with this in any way. if they come across this themselves and want to contact me, that's fine. i just don't feel right asking them/begging them for stuff/help)
Project: Wet Rarity: PART 11: Revisited, Revamped, Retubed, still unfinished.
Nerf Vortex PC. FINISHED

Had an email sent to me, but can't reply back, so here in the thread will do.
the heatsinks were removed from the board, and just cleaned with a tissue to remove any dirt and oily deposits (the skin on your hands can be quite greasy, make sure you wash them before handling parts you're going to paint.)
painted one layer of paint, which will always look bad, streaky and not a solid colour. waited for that to dry (at least an hour. any sooner and your new paint layer will instead start lifting the old layer off), then painted another layer again. repeating the process till a solid colour appeared.
I have since not ran the board since painting the sinks, so i have no real idea on how effective they will be for cooling. however, when i tested the board before painting, they didn't feel hot, so we'll have to wait and see. at least with 2x 120mm fans in the front and 2x 92mm fans in the back, airflow should be good inside the case to keep them cool.

I love the color scheme! Amazing progress! Nerf guns are all fun, until someone mods the foams, and someone loses an eye!

I will admit, Not much progress has been done with Nerf PC, since issues with 'Wet Rarity' have taken most of my focus, a distinct lack of money has not helped either, i really could do with a Battery drill and some metal drill bits and potentially a new dremel type tool. but i did get a little bit more done here:
I used some orange Vinyl to wrap the side panels in orange. I also got my smoked window installed on this side. Hopefully, it will go clear when the computer's running (when the interior lighting is on) and remain black when not running
This side has the original clear window painted to block out the view. (Unfortunatly, what i thought was black, turned out to be gunmetal grey. no matter, It doesn't look too bad, and helps add a bit more nerf gun colour to the build.
Need to get the floor partition of the case modified still in order to fit the tube reservoir through it, along with the passthrough connections for the WC loop.

Are you ready for a time warp, cause this PC is finished. Well, it's was in a good enough condition to be considered finished for display at a local Sci-Fi convention this past weekend.
So, let's backtrack to where i left off last time. Last time, I reversed the motherboard tray, cut out the window panel and swapped out parts from my other mod project case. the project was put on hold for a long while due to other commitments, however a reminder that i promised one of my custom PC's on show at a local convention rekindled the fire ont he nerf PC. one small problem, the convention was in 7 days time... Let's resume work, shall we?
The hardest lessons are learnt the hardest way, in my case, this is painting. working on PC's like this do require you assembling and dissasembling the PC numerous times. it was during this that i was noticing the green paint on the outer shell suffered flaking and chipping with relative ease. turns out that i didn't realise that you needed Etching primer when painting Aluminium. so with much regret, i had to strip off as much paint as possible and redo the paintjob.
I'll admit, this was not the best paint job i've done. Despite having 3 days to cure and set, it was still soft in places (think this was due to the filler primer i was using), which made assembly more difficult, still suffering a small amount of damage before, during and after the convention.
the overall colour looks patchy because Fluorescent Green paint seems to be slightly translucent compared to normal colour paint, as such, you do have to be careful while painting to not go over areas you've already painted, as that causes the paint there to darken more, thus end up with patches of different shades. When i get around to repainting this case, i'm going to use a different green paint for more even coverage.
I did learn my lesson when i painted the aluminium midplate. after marking out, drilling and filing out the openings for the reservoir, bulkhead fittings and cable extensions. i etch primed and painted it green to match the case.
the front panels, DVD drive and Reservoir top were painted Orange. in order to match the orange on the motherboard. I'm still disappointed that the orange vinyl used on the PC does not match the colour of this orange paint, nor can i find orange paint that matched the vinyl colour, but you gotta use what you can get if you can't get it all.
the 5.25" drive bay sideplates were repainted in satin black as this will match up with the black perspex blanking panels
Assembling that unit together allows me to rewire the modular cable, moving the connectors to the right positions and braiding the wires separately (yes, i know the braid is not as dense as you'd expect from this sort of thing, but i'm not complaining when i got it for free. Also, it's only flash photography that makes you see the original cable colours)
Installing the front panel on the case, i was tempted to replace the power button with a antivandal button, but couldn't find drill bits big enough to drill it out)
Yes, i know it's all too common, but if it works. using a small project box to hide away the PCB.
Speaking of project boxes. i used another one to make a breakout box. a single molex connector in, goes via a on/off switch. this then splits off into 2 cathode inverters and a 4pin molex cable out for a Phobya Flexlight. the reason behind this would be to have a single on/off switch for all the case lighting (something the Flexlight lacks is an on/off switch).
Eagle eyes would notice that the switch on the project box was going to be used on the top of the case. the plan was to use the switch to help cover up one of the 2 holes on the roof of the case, a unneeded feature from the case's previous owner.
Using a Nerf Vortex disc, cutting out the centre provided the right size to plug the hole.
Installing the original midplate. Cathode tubes are in place not only to illuminate the lower section, but the new aluminium midplate sits on top of the cathodes
The reason the plate sits on the cathodes is to help raise it upwards for clearance. One of the original design ideas was to make the tube run from the graphics card to the floor as straight as possible. Back at the start of the project, for a PSU i had an Antec unit. I sold it to a friend when he needed a new PSU, as i wasn't really using it at the time. but with the need to get this working, I went for a new PSU from Be Quiet. (it was within my budget, plus the fan had a nice orange accent). unfortunately for me, it was a bit longer than the Antec unit, thus the hole in the floor was now in the wrong place. but, with things like mounting the bulkhead fitting upside down, raising up the midplate and using an angled WC fitting, i was able to keep the original straight tube design
Front shot of the case, with the drive caddies, optical drive and 3.5" bay cover painted. you can see a little bit of the paint damage i mentioned before on the right side of the 3.5" bay, one of the perils of handling PC cases with soft paint.
However, using some of the orange vinyl, i added some stripe detail (similar to the stripes on the Vortex nerf guns) along with a copy of the Nerf logo on the bay cover
Along with another set of stripes on the top corner for detail (they're not all there to hide paint damage, honest)
General lay of the land picture, and the start of the tubing. using a 45 fitting on the CPU block outlet helped out the bend back to the floor, keeping the visible tubing neat and minimal. Tubing is Tygon 1/2" clear that was 'borrowed' from a friend (he lent it to me to test my previous case for tubing bends, kinda forgot to give it back to him), as it was the only 1/2" tubing i had aside from Primochill, which has chronic plasticizer leakage.
All tubed up, filled with water for leak testing. SSD drive mounted on the side panel. pretty simple mounting really, 4 thumbscrews in the drive, with some 3M mounting tape on their heads. stuck on the side panel after being plugged in. then the black perspex panel was fixed around it with some more 3M tape.
A shot of the top of the reservoir, showing the connection to the external fillport. Oh, looks like i've drained out the water after a successful leakfree test.. wonder what's in there now...

Mayhems Aurora 'Extinction Green' cooling fluid.
With the case lights on, despite the fluid being green, you can still see it with the green lighting.
Side panel on. looking through the smoked glass. with the case lights on, you can see the internals clearly
Side panel off, no lights on
being a fixed speed pump, the fluid shows lots of turbulence in this area, but due to the height of the tube reservoir, the fluid in the reservoir above the midplate rolls slowly.
It doesn't photograph well, and i can't explain it really (may just be my eyes playing tricks on me), but with the case lights on, the green fluid looks almost orange in colour around the GPU block. not that i'm complaining because the main colours of this build are green and orange.

I had this finished for the local Sci-fi convention, and put it on display with monitor, a CM Storm sentinel mouse set with green LED colours, along with a Wolf King gaming circular keyboard (in green)
Aside from some abrasive marks thanks to a car seatbelt getting it to the con, it was in good condition, ran all day running X3 Terran conflict benchmarks, and sci-fi anime videos.
Now that it's finished, I have no clue what to do with it now. (aside from maybe repaint the green) I did put a price tag on it at the con, but no takers (no surprises there really). I think I may be upgrading a friend's PC with it, just hope he likes neon green...

Discussion in 'Chevy Silverado Forum (GMC Sierra)' started by djack, Jul 6, 2013.
anyone had the dupont paint protectent applied to their trucks? Does it work well ? thanks
Never heard of it, is it a clear coat sealant / pseudo polish?
like a clearcoat sealant i suppose,warrantied for 5 years, protects against tree sap, bird **** acid rain no need to wax.
hmm... I'll have to look into it
It is cheaper to buy it yourself and apply than have a dealer to it. I apply a sealer to my truck every year... maybe over kill... but allot cheaper than a repaint.
My mom has had all of her cars done since 2005, they are done before they leave the showroom. All I can say is th stuff works, she has never waxed any of her vehicles as they say you don't need to with that coating. When she traded her cars in, they were all like brand new. Well worth the money, aveo was $399.00, silverado was $999.00, price depends on size of vehicle.
My sister had it installed on her malibu when she bought it. It looks like it works. Personally I like waxing my truck and seeing the results. It gives me a change to inspect every inch for new scratches, dents, or rust.
- - - Updated - - -
What brand sealer so you use? is it easy to install?
I have used both the DuPont and Adams machine sealent... I used the DuPont on my old trailblazer and the Adams on my pickup. I feel the Adams is far better... easier to apply and glossier results.
When I bought my 2013 Siverado the first of June, the dealer had a product called Auto Armor applied to the paint/clearcoat. 7 year warranty. Also did an Auto Armor complete rust proofing and undercoating also. My guess is that the product the OP mentioned is probably similar.
I use Chemical Guys Jetseal which can be used on anything, then also Griot's Garage paint sealant.

Where I stayed
So we had an ambitious idea of going hiking and camping in the Rocky Mountains. Well, it just couldn`t happen. Being a bunch of sea level sissies the rainy cold mountain weather was too much for us to handle. Besides we couldn`t see a thing cause we were inside a raincloud and our heads were a bit sore from last nights entertainment, we decided to move on.
We saw some elk crossing streets, a strange mountain village full of casinos and we kind of got lost once. We finished our pointless day to Glenwood Springs. Hopefully we`ll see some sunshine and blue skies tomorrow as we are heading to Arizona thru a bit of Utah.

So I've been MIA or AWOL either way... But I'm Baaaaack!
Sat Jan 05, 2008 11:14 pm
Watching All of you....
So I got my butt handed to me in Elsinore, what else can I say but simply, I plan on moving there soon, REAL SOON! Then she will be my BEE-OTCH!
The past 2 weeks have been pretty tough on me and all but to check a few PMs and have a look at your experiences I didn't really have the time to post anything... but I have pictures now, and will be posting them from the Vegas/Elsinore trip on Dec 15-24th
I've been sporting my HG.org shirt with pride, thanks to RAD who graciously provided me with one the day of my arrival and acceptance into the infamous e-team! Man if I had known that it takes a 28mph lawn dart experience to joint that group I may have stayed my butt in Vegas! At least Carol (my Black Jack Dealer), was much more predictable and cute!!!
Ok, I'll be posting the pics on the forum in a few minutes, have to format the size to the HG.org specs...
PS: I missed you all tremendously...
PSS: I did fly when I got back home, and I was a bit apprehensive, Cali, really rocked my world and I quickly attained an appreciation for the ground...
PSSS: My landings were as expected
PSSSS: Although RAD would have you think I WHACKED in Elsinore, it wasn't a whack... It was more of a carrier landing, with out the carrier, or the wire...
PSSSSS: Pics are on the Save Elsinore Thread....

Although I didn't see the actual moment of impact, I did hear a very distinctive sound - sort of an aluminum crunching, teeth-gritting, resounding reverberation that could best be described as, I don't know...

It's good to hear from you again. We've all been concerned.
Thanks for taking the time to come out to Elsinore. I had a great time meeting you and your beautiful family. We had a great day and a lot of laughs. Oh, and by the way, I have never seen anybody hit so hard and plow so much earth, and walk away vertually unharmed. Your a "STUD".

Welcome back, Doc.
I personally think you was a victim of the dreaded Elsinore rotor. If that flag was from the East when you flew by, it sure as hell wasn't when you landed. As of the oak tree and your landing, it was due North.
Great to have you back, I'd bet after all that fun in Vegas, you'd have to play a little catchup.
You really, really, should move to Calif!

Two years after Anni Dewani's life brutally ended on her honeymoon, her killer was convicted yesterday.
For her family, who have patiently sought justice, it was a step in the right direction as they wait to see if her husband, Shrien, will be extradited to face trial accused of hiring her killers.
The British businessman and his new wife were on honeymoon in Cape Town in November 2010 when they were held at gunpoint after taking a night-time taxi ride through the township of Gugulethu.
Taxi driver Zola Tongo and the groom were forced from the car unharmed but the 28-year-old bride's body, with a single bullet wound to the neck, was discovered the next day in the abandoned car.
Yesterday Xolile Mngeni, the man who fired the fatal shot, was found guilty of premeditated murder at Western Cape High Court. Despite his protestations that he had been set up, Judge Robert Henney said the case against him was "overwhelming".
The conviction means all three of the South Africans accused of killing Dewani have been brought to book.
Her 32-year-old husband, who has consistently denied having anything to do with her death, continues to fight extradition, with his lawyers insisting he is too ill from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder to face trial in Cape Town.
Yesterday Anni Dewani's uncle Ashok Hindocha said: "Now there's only one last bit left."

Chris Faust, a Twins Cities-based artist, was trained as a biologist before turning to black-and-white photography in the mid-1980s. Through stark images, he investigates the geographic expressions of contemporary environmental values and priorities. He has pursued themes such as wilderness ecology, the loss of Midwestern grain elevators, Lake Superior ore boats, and suburban sprawl.
These photographs are part of The Suburban Documentation Project, which Faust began with landscape architect Frank Edgerton Martin in 1990. This project documents urban sprawl–the ways in which middle-American cities are developing third-, fourth-, and even fifth-ring suburbs that eat away farmland with the building of mass-produced housing and strip malls. The link between these new developments is the centrality of the car and the freeway in the lives of residents and the very shaping of the land, a particularly American concern.
In Faust's photographs, taken with a specialized panorama or "banquet format" camera, the human presence is often absent, which gives the images a detached or even eerie sensibility. The houses in Bankrupt Developer Homes, Apple Valley, MN almost look like facades on a Hollywood movie set, while The Edge, Eden Prairie, MN shows the sharp divide between what has been and what is coming in metropolitan growth. The artist says, "The artifacts of what people do are important to me, not necessarily the people themselves."

Olympic officials have chosen Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as the site for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. It is the first time in Olympic history that the sporting event will take place in a South American nation. The big announcement was made this afternoon in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is meeting.
Rio's Time to Shine
Rio was one of the four cities hoping to get the Games. The others were Chicago, Illinois; Madrid, Spain; and Tokyo, Japan. The decision to choose Rio came after a final round of speeches by some very important people. U.S. President Barack Obama, King Juan Carlos of Spain and Yukio Hatoyama, Prime Minister of Japan, each tried to convince the IOC judges that their country should host the Games. But Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, may have made the best sales pitch.
Da Silva told IOC members it was time for a South American city to host the Games. He said having the Olympics in South America would inspire the 400 million people who live on the huge continent. Da Silva noted that Brazil had earned its chance to show that the Games belonged to people of all continents. "I honestly believe it is Brazil's time," da Silva said. "It is time to light the Olympic cauldron in a tropical country."
Full Speed Ahead
Da Silva and officials from the city of Rio talked about the plans they have for hosting the 2016 Games. Brazil plans on spending more than $14 billion to ready the coastal city of 10 million people for this history-making event. Some of their plans include setting aside one of Rio's beautiful beaches for the use of the athletes, improving mass transit so people can get around to the different stadiums easily, and beefing up security for visitors and athletes alike.
Meanwhile, the people of Rio, who call themselves Cariocas, are already celebrating the big win and the historic decision. Thousands of joyous Rio residents gathered in streets, parks and on beaches. Tomorrow the hard work of making Rio de Janeiro the site of a global extravaganza begins.

I am in the process of trapping some bees out of a hollow tree. This is going on the 4th week. I put 1 frame of brood with some eggs in a nuc box near mouth of wire cone that I had installed over the hole in the tree. All is going very well, they have drawn nearly 4 frames out(just had foundation to put in the nuc box). I am going to move them into a full size box this weekend since I have a division board feeder in the nuc. I put a queen in the box 2 weeks ago(removed queen cells or I believe I removed them all), she was accepted and out by the third day, went back a couple of days later and checked all was still well. Went back to the hive yesterday and BAM a different queen in the box. So I am curious as to where ya'll think she came from?
1. I missed a queen cell? Maybe, but wouldn't think they would have accepted the queen I put in.
2. She came out of the tree? Really don't have a clue about that, this is my first time to try the tree trapping deal, but I wouldn't think she would leave the old hive this soon if at all.
3. Other ideas?

This definitely would be like my second favorite mod if the camera didn't shake from side to side. Is it supposed to do that or is it just my pc? Please some one make a good Camera hack that stays behind the car and I honestly think GTA IV will be complete.
Posted on March 31, 2010 4:39AM by havok S14
ehh this is ok... the camera is crazy (the shaking is like driving drunk sometimes) when you hit bumps in the road but besides that this is one of the best mods so far for drifting :D
Posted on May 17, 2010 8:01PM by alexsgocart
vid would be nice
Posted on December 16, 2011 1:31AM by Axle
can you tell me how can i stop the shake???
Posted on January 1, 2011 6:51AM by vagenrider
@Scroshi: use NotePad++ and this tutorial on Regular Expressions. http://markantoniou.blogspot.com/2008/06/notepad-how-to-use-regular-expressions.html
Now replacing the lines will be easy.

I don't really mind the shake, I get used to it after a while. What bothers me if that I can barely see my tire smoke and my back end...any way to slightly move the camera back a bit?

Manhattan Beach finalizes levy
The city of Manhattan Beach passed its 2013 levy in the amount of $70,000, which is $10,000 lower than the 2012 city levy.
The levy was lowered when it was accepted in its preliminary form Sept. 4. Minutes from the Sept. 4 meeting show that the city often did not use all the funds it had budgeted, which was one reason for lowering the levy.
The $10,000 drop between the 2012 and 2013 levies represents a 12.5 percent reduction in the levy.
The final levy was passed unanimously at the council's regular meeting Dec. 4.

The Post family spent nearly six years looking for an Auckland house they'd be happy to live in when they returned to New Zealand - no easy feat as they were living in London all that time.
British-born Stephanie and Dutch-born Sjoerd had lived in Wellington until 1998, when they moved to England for Sjoerd's work. But the couple knew they would eventually resettle in New Zealand, so they started house-hunting during their annual holidays here with daughters Manon, 15, and Mimi, 13.
"We got to know the real estate agents very well," jokes Stephanie, who looked at scores of houses before being enchanted by the gentle grace of this 1920s transitional villa.
The house's sunny aspect, excellent living spaces, indoor-outdoor flow and elevated site all appealed. She loved its generous proportions, including a 4.5m stud in the main living spaces.
At the top of Lucerne Rd and just a few minutes' walk from the Upland Rd shops, the villa has an elegant return veranda looking east over houses in the streets below.
"You open the front door and see sky and rooftops. So many villas feel closed in, but in this house you feel as though you have air and space."
The sense of spaciousness begins when you walk through the front door into a wide hallway to a large open-plan living area.
This generous space includes a large family living and dining room with a window seat looking over the garden, and an enviably large modern kitchen with generous bench spaces, cupboards, drawers and a big pantry.
Bifold windows can be opened out on hot days to give the feeling that you are almost living in the sheltered garden. French doors open from the living room to a wide, level deck with plenty of room for outdoor dining and a barbecue.
From the deck, the level lawn leads out to a swimming pool encircled by mature shrubs and ornamental trees that give it complete privacy.
Stephanie says the open-plan living room and kitchen work brilliantly as there is enough space for everyone to do their own thing but also be together. "The girls can be watching TV or on their laptops while I am cooking dinner. It's much nicer than having a separate area that is miles away from the hub of the house."
For privacy, they can head to a separate second living room off the hall which is large enough for a desk and opens to the veranda.
All three bedrooms open off the hall, and the girls' rooms have French doors, one opening to the veranda and the other to a deck. A large laundry and the kitchen open on to this deck, which traps the morning sun.
The Posts will miss their delightful family home, but they've seized the chance to buy a house nearby they've long admired.

Weds (11th) I booked myself on a trip around the coast today which was really good, even if the people on it weren't the most chatty I've met. First off was Hot Water Beach, where the idea is to dig yourself a hole in the sand at low tide and, due to a thermal spring which runs into the sea, the hole will fill up with hot water. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts I managed to find a spot where the spring was flowing and the water did indeed become rather hot - too hot really, as it was already a scorcher of a day. But had a lot of fun with that. We then drove on the a place where we could walk along the cliff tops and then down onto a beach know as Cathedral Cove due to its limestone formations. This was a really pretty area and the water was crystal clear. Afterwards we stopped at a number of other beaches, all with pale sand and lovely clear water and walked along more coastal paths. Then stopped at a 'winery' on the way home. Hmm... the couple of wines he had on offer were not to my tasting and his main business seemed to be in liquoirs which he was making us try. They were thoroughly disgusting! All in all though, I had a lovely day and was looking forward to seeing my folks...

Though the culture of Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), is something I've always loved and admired, I've never actually really participated. My husband is Salvadoran and his family more commonly calls it "Día de los Difuntos", (Day of the Deceased.)
He says that in El Salvador on November 2nd, you visit your deceased family members in the cemetery. You spend the day there, cleaning the grave, or paying others to repaint the name. The grave can be decorated with flowers, though he says offerings of food are rarely left because people don't want to waste it. Sometimes priests walk around and a donation can be given for a prayer.
The day sounds less festive in El Salvador than it is in Mexico, and for this reason, the day has usually passed in our family with nothing more than a candle being lit for Carlos's father, who died when he was younger. (Not to mention my youngest son's birthday happens to fall on "Día de Los Muertos", so we're usually busy celebrating that.)
This year I wanted to make an altar called an "ofrenda", ("offering"), Mexican-style. Carlos says this really isn't done in El Salvador, at least not in his family.
The ofrenda is usually three tiers, signifying the three levels of life: The lowest tier represents the earth, the second tier is the in-between, and the third tier at the top is the after-life or Heaven.
There are various traditional objects which are often placed on ofrendas such as papel picado, flowers, candles, calaveras (decorative skulls, sometimes made of sugar), bread, salt, water, personal items such as jewelry, photos, favorite beverages and foods, etc.
I wanted to celebrate the holiday but my father's side of the family is Jewish and my mother's side of the family are Anglo-Protestants. I can't imagine either side of the family would have wished to be remembered in this way, and so out of respect, I don't make an ofrenda for my loved ones who have passed.
I decided to make an ofrenda to honor Carlos's father, the man who would have been my Suegro. Along with his father's photo and his ring, I placed a few religious items as he was Catholic, along with candles, incense and a few decorations. For food offerings, I remember Suegra saying he loved casamiento, so I put a bowl of rice and beans on the ofrenda as well.
Carlos said he appreciated the gesture and that the ofrenda was beautiful but then he gently asked me if I would mind taking it down. The sight of the ofrenda made him sad instead of happy, which was not my intention. Sadness is also not in the spirit of Día de Los Muertos. Day of the Dead is supposed to be about celebration of life, not mourning of death, but Carlos says that he has never liked the holiday, even back in El Salvador.
So, the ofrenda is no more, and what I hoped would be a new family tradition is not possible. I completely understand Carlos's feelings and though I regret making him sad, I'm thankful our boys had a chance to think about and learn a little about the man who would have been their Abuelo, but never had a chance to be.

Sipping tea and intently listening to her band's progress through the afternoon, I had her pegged as "the quiet one" of the bunch until I heard her laughter echoing through the enormous pasta sauce factory, her crystal-blue eyes lighting up and giggling with glee upon the sight of her mom and dad, who paid the crew a visit (complete with a tote of homemade chocolate-chip cookies). Her parents likely didn't expect a career trajectory that included a stint as a NASA technician, followed by international critical acclaim as a multi-instrumentalist with one of the hottest indie-folk bands out right now.
Between near-constant tours and other duties with the Low Anthem, Adams somehow managed to pen a gorgeous solo album titled Bed of Notions, released earlier this year (on cdbaby.com and iTunes). She found plenty of support during the recording process, including friends Brigham Brough (of Diamond Doves and Elvis Perkins in Dearland), cellist Robin Ryczek, bassist Ken Woodward (of Annie & the Beekeepers), and vocals from childhood friend Martha Guenther, who will join Adams at this weekend's show at the Met, along with a "surprise bassist."
"I am a lucky girl to have such gems hanging around and am excited to send another creation glittering with those gems out into the world," Adams told me shortly after the album's release in January.
Harmonica, violin, pump organ and, of course, clarinet come into play across the album, but it's Adams's vocals that often steal the show. "I get drunk on you babe/I would drink you all the time," she sings on "I'll Follow You Home," and the solemn clarinet and acoustic guitar on "Darlin" accentuate a pretty line like "10,000 steps out onto the ocean, and I can look back to the shore and see . . . just how much I love you." From the cloaked beauty of "Spindle" to the fairy tale spin on "Chastity" and "Mary Mary," Bed of Notions is pretty darn special.
We caught up with a busy Jocelyn Adams earlier this week following a TLA show in Quebec.
DO YOU PREFER A PARTICULAR SETTING WHILE WRITING LYRICS AND ARRANGEMENTS? Honestly, I don't have any consistent writing techniques or superstitions. Lyrics come from all sorts of places — from absorbing what's swirling around me at that moment. "Civility" was inspired by the Prop 8 shenanigans that were floating around my head for a while, and "Cardboard Condominiums" was vaguely inspired by some observations of a friend's well-intended yet questionable behaviors (we all have some of these, no?). And some of them seem to come just as much from out of the blue as anywhere else, like "Bed of Notions."
DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL FAVORITE ON THE ALBUM? Right now, "Cardboard Condominiums" is my favorite. I think it is lyrically my strongest song on the record and the arrangement on the record is so simple but creates such a unique setting for the song. I like it, and playing it live is also a treat. It's a quiet one, but people seem to latch onto it. I certainly did not expect for that to happen — it's long and wordy.

I'm sorry but I have been watching these boards silently these past few days and I have seen all these QB talk and I thought you guys would like a Skins fans take on things.
In the NFC East
1. RG3 - Dude is just a beast. Will go down as the best of all time imo.
2. Romo - I hate to say it but he is pretty good. Beat San Fran with a collasped lung.
3. Vick - Trouble staying upright but is electrifying indeed
4. Eli - Sorry but he is just so overrated. Constantly lucks out. This dude must have a horshoe up his ***. Has had lots of help through the years. Average at best.
Now as far as top 5 in the league is concerned
1. Brady - Look at his acolades
2. Rodgers - Just ridic
3. RG3- See above
4. Brees - cant play on grass
5. Peyton- Has lost a step over the years but is stll very dominant
Now remember this is just MY OPINION. Dont attack me for being a Skins fan please or I will promptly remind you guys of the beatdowns we gave you twice last year. Thank you.
Now discuss.

And while I was under my truck earlier this week, I found that one of my CV's is leaking like a siv, so time to replace one of those! Oh yeah, I also forgot I got a new windshield this last Monday! It was about time, as the poor thing was cracked all the way from top to bottom and side to side in several places, with many a rock chip here and there. They installed one with a factory tint strip which gives me more of an excuse to match my other windows to it

Gore Bike Wear Power 2.0 Thermo Bib Tights Men's
When the knee warmer and bib shorts combination just isn't cutting it, we know that late season temperatures have officially taken over. Rather than scratching our heads while we hunt for more layers, we make the transition to bib tights, as the smooth, non constricting materials provide support and warmth for those frosty rides. Gore Bike Wear created its new Power 2. 0 Thermo Bib Tights for this late season weather, and they're available with or without a chamois. These bib tights use a lightly insulated nylon and elastane thermal fabric for the leg panels. This blend is effective in wicking and managing moisture through a push pull system, allowing sweat to be drawn away from the skin immediately and pushed to the outer surface of the bibs, which increases comfort and helps maintain an optimal temperature. Flat lock seams keep the panels smooth against your skin, and the gripper elastic on the bottom hems hold the legs in place without snagging the skin or cutting off the circulation. Gore included its Power Man seat insert to ensure that you to sit comfortably for hours. Gore calls this insert their workhorse, and they use it for these bib tights because they realize a lot of your off season training will be constituted by long hours in the saddle. It has an anatomical fit with strategic elasticity and ventilation. How breathable an insert is has a lot to do with reducing any potential for humidity caused rubbing and friction. With this in mind, the outer fabric of the Power Man insert is made from a hyper moisture absorbing fabric. Gore Power 2. 0 Thermo Bib Tights come with a mesh insert at your back so that you feel well ventilated right where it's best to let some excess heat escape. Reflective elements were added throughout, ensuring that you remain visible to motorists in low light riding conditions. The Gore Bike Wear Power 2. 0 Thermo Bib Tights are available in sizes Small to XX Large and in the colors Black and Blackred. The Black color com...

UTSA Downtown Campus receives beautification award
(March 2, 2005)--The UTSA Downtown Campus recently received the Beautification Award from the Beautify San Antonio Association (BSAA).
The campus was chosen because of its continued dedication to enhance the downtown community with natural landscaping that includes various plants and trees.

Founded in 1947, the mission of BSAA is to make the Greater San Antonio area a cleaner, safer, more beautiful and healthful place in which to live and work.
The association, part of the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, works closely with Keep America Beautiful and Keep Texas Beautiful.

text: 1996 GMC Yukon SLT 4WD 5.7L Vortec 350 Back Story: Last week my wife was driving the Yukon and the driveshaft dropped from the rear yoke. After having it towed home i found: 1. Driveshaft was removed and unmarked. 2. One broken bolt in the yoke and one loose bolt for the U-Joint strap. At this point, I have removed the yoke, drilled out broken bolt, reinstalled with same exposed thread count on pinion shaft, replaced both U-Joints in driveshaft and reinstalled, just to get vehicle drivable again. My current problem is a vibration at 40-50 mph. It seems to be a "lighter/softer" vibration now than when it first started. Any insight, opinions or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

International Focus: Shifting the Dialogue
In addition to working with communities in the United States to pass laws recognizing rights of nature, we work with climate justice and social and environmental justice allies to build a global movement to support rights of nature at the local, national and international level; and helped found the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature.
Download the Call to Action flyer for the Durban community HERE
Find out what happened at the COP17 conference in Durban! Click HERE to read the report back from Durban written by Shannon Biggs.
This June, we joined our international allies at the Rio+20 Earth Summit in Brazil to advocate for recognizing Rights of Nature as an alternative cultural and legal framework to the official corporate-led 'Green Economy' agenda being put forward by the UN at the summit.
A series of organizing events and strategy meetings were held throughout the week (both inside the conference and outside as part of the People's Summit) to explore why a new framework for protecting the planet is necessary and part of a broader shift emerging globally today.
On Sunday, June 17th a major signing event of the Universal Declaration of Rights of Mother Earth was held at the Rio Centro along with a panel of distinguished international activists. Download the signing event flyer here.
For more information on our work promoting Rights of Nature at Rio+20, read this blog post.
For a report-back on Rio+20 including a video blog taken at the conference, read Shannon's analysis here.
New Report on the Rights of Nature
Just in time for the Rio+20 Earth Summit Global Exchange announced the release of a new report, "RIGHTS OF NATURE: Planting Seeds of Real Change." This report takes a look at the flaws behind the Green Economy agenda, advocates for a rights-based framework to challenge the commodification and financialization of nature, and explores how Rights of Nature can be applied as a new legal framework that allows for true protection of the environment.
The report includes articles from leading activists such as former UN Ambassador to Bolivia Pablo Solon, Vandana Shiva, Maude Barlow, Alberto Acosta, and many more. View and download the report here.
To purchase a $10.00 hard copy of the report, please contact Kylie Nealis at (415)-575-5551 (email@example.com)

text: I'm in Central IL and we're in a severe drought according the Drought Monitor. The guy that farms the ground my bees are on has 3 acres that he's not using this year. He told me he was just going to plant more pumpkins (already has 4 acres) until I convinced him to plant buckwheat for the bees. I offered to help cover the cost of the seed but I'm starting to think I may not get much, if any return on the investment with it being so dry. Anyone got some insight on nectar flow on buckwheat in dry conditions? There is no way to irrigate either.

The Sunny Side of Washington
Lost Mountain Lodge • Sequim, WA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in the Sunny View, Moonbeam, or Creekside Suite, Sundays through Thursdays ($299)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in the Sunny View, Moonbeam, or Creekside Suite, Fridays and Saturdays ($329)
- Daily Breakfast for Two
The Destination
Sequim, Washington, averages less than 16 inches of rain per year—roughly on par with Los Angeles—due to its position in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. So much for the Pacific Northwest's soggy reputation, right? This dry, sunny oasis on the Olympic Peninsula is a rural retreat surrounded by vast lavender fields and just south of the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. The nearby town of Port Townsend has a little more action, with a commercial seaport, shops, restaurants, and gorgeous Victorian architecture.
The Digs
Lost Mountain Lodge in Sequim is a real find—the estate's manicured gardens and private ponds blend seamlessly into the stunning natural scenery (the property is a National Wildlife Federation Certified Habitat). Indoors, spacious suites and private cottages offer amenities like king beds with cloud mattresses, stately private bathrooms, and wood-burning fireplaces. Feed your body and soul at the on-site spa and gourmet restaurant, or let your hosts arrange an afternoon of bird-watching, wilderness kayaking, or rain forest trekking just minutes away.
The Diversions
• Olympic National Park
• Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge
• Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts
• Olympic Peninsula Winery Loop
"Personalized service made this a five star experience. Rebecca prepared breakfasts that were out of this world, both delicious and beautiful. The pennisula has its own special charm that is definitely worth seeing."-- TripAdvisor

Puzzle Strike is a very cool deck-building game that uses bags of chips instead of decks of cards. But what really sets it apart isn't so much the chips, which are kind of a fun gimmick but don't actually change the mechanics. It's the fact that each player gets to be a different character, starting with three unique character chips that have their own strengths and weaknesses. I reviewed the original game in 2011, and then wrote about the Upgrade Pack early this year, which introduced version 1.1 of the characters. Designer David Sirlin is constantly tweaking and rebalancing the characters to make them viable for tournament play, so there were some small changes that reflected that.
Later this year, though, Sirlin was happy enough with the tweaks to introduce Puzzle Strike 3rd Edition, as well as the first (stand-alone) expansion, Shadows. Both were part of a Kickstarter campaign that raised nearly five times its goal. I kicked in for the Shadows expansion to get the new chips and characters, and received my copy a couple of weeks ago. Game Salute provided me with a copy of the 3rd Edition so I can tell you what the differences are, as well as a copy of the Puzzle Strike Advanced Strategy Guide which covers both sets.

text: Dallas just played the only unbeaten team in the league, stayed with them the whole game, and lost in a one-possession ball game. Give the Falcons weatherspoon back, and we get Murray back, and I like our chances! When you look at the schedule ahead, we can beat all of the teams on it. 11-5 is good enough to win the division, and of all the teams with a sub .500 record, I'd think most teams would rather not face Dallas. Our offensive line needs work, no doubt, and I know it will be addressed in the offseason, but Dallas could have very well swept the Giants this year, they've had so many close losses against good teams, it really could be different. The offensive line can improve, and Tony Romo will do wonders with just an extra half second of time back there. He has done well considering his new, running frantically for his life job. Dallas didn't give up against the still unbeaten Falcons. They led them and stayed with them. I'm not giving up on the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I get a business degree?
What kind of job can I get with a Master's of Science degree in business?
As more and more people are getting college degrees, a Master's degree makes you stand out among job applicants.
A Master's of Science degree in Human Resources Management prepares you for a career as a College Professor, General & Operations Manager, Human Resources Manager, Training & Development Manager, Management Analyst, Administrative Services Manager, or a Business Consultant to name a few.
Why do I need to see an advisor?
Studies have shown that students who develop a good relationship with their advisors are more likely to persist and graduate. An advisor helps to promote student growth and development, and assists students in assessing their interests and abilities, examining their educational goals, and developing short-term and long-range plans to meet their objectives. Advisors provide information on general education and major requirements, clarify policies and procedures, discuss educational and career options, monitor academic progress, and direct students to other resources when necessary.
New students should meet with advisors to learn about university and departmental requirements, discuss their educational plans, and select courses.
After earning 60 credits, every student is strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor to adopt a program of study. During this session, advisors and students should:
- Evaluate the student's suitability to major in the chosen discipline
- Review the requirements for the degree, any special options, and possible electives
- Complete a degree plan
- Complete a course substitution plan if classes have been taken at another school
- Identify any deficiencies in the student's record and ways to correct them
- Discuss career and graduate school option
Students wishing to change their major will need to meet with an advisor in order to see which of the classes they have already taken can be applied to their new major and to make a new degree plan to follow to fulfill the graduation requirements of the new major.
What do I need to do to see an advisor?
Tarleton now has an Advising Center located on the lower level of the Barry B. Thompson Student Center in Room 13. There will be representatives from the Management, Marketing, and Administration Department in the Advising Center to help with any questions you may have, to file a Degree Plan, or to consult on classes that may be substituted for other classes. The Advising Center is open from 8 to 5 Monday through Thursday and 8 to noon on Friday. No appointment is necessary.
The MMAS Department has faculty members in the advising center. The Department office will have a list of the times these advisors will be available. We strongly urge new students, transfer students, or upper level students to see one of the Department's representatives when visiting the center.
Does the College of Business have any Study Abroad opportunities?
Will my undergraduate program of study in the College of Business prepare me for graduate study?
Absolutely. All undergraduate programs in the College of Business are designed to prepare students for entry level positions in the marketplace as well as to prepare those same students for graduate study.
How do I get a catalog and schedule of classes?
University catalogs can be accessed through the internet. Simply go to catalog.tarleton.edu and select the catalog for the appropriate year. Hard copies of the catalogs are also available on campus at several locations in including your department's administration offices.
Class schedules are also available online (Class Schedule). You will need to select the term in which you are registering and then click on the subject. You can refine your search by making selections from the other items on the page such as looking for classes only on the Tarleton campus, or from a certain instructor.
What does it mean if a class is "closed" and how can I get into a closed class?
Each class has a limit of the number of students to be assigned. When that level is reached, the class is closed so that the limit is not exceeded. The best way to make sure you get into a class that you need is to register as soon as registration is open to you. Should a class be closed on the registration system, keep checking since the on-line schedule of classes is continually updated as students drop and add courses. Always have a list of alternate classes or class sections that you can substitute for the class that is already full. In the event you do not get into the class in this way, you may put your name on the class waitlist.

hey GY how bout those knicks! Love having Felton back
Lehigh beat Lafayette..the college where I played, go mountain hawks...one of the oldest rivals in college football history.
I am curious how Iman and Amar'e will fold back into the chemistry. Iman's D and energy will be terrific. If Amar'e can buy into being a bench guy, aka swallow his pride, we may have one of the toughest, gritty defense-minded unit in the League this year.
we all knew we weren't going to remain undefeated for long. (we're Giants fans after all...)
Defense is what separates the men from the boys. It's hard for me, having been weened on the late 60's, early 70's Knicks, to condone what is usually called 'Defense' in today's NBA. The best Ewing days were enjoyed mostly for the D, with Oak. Now that these Knicks are playing D, they're much more fun for me to watch.and appreciate.
times have changed eh Mr. Zim ? For B-ball and Football, perhaps Hockey too.
At one time, hard-nose D meant getting your nose stuck in there and putting in some work. Now and days you'll end up getting Called for a Foul, Flagrant or otherwise /Tech'd, Personal Foul and possibly Fined or sent to the Box ...

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – It was a big celebration for several student-athletes, and for Oregon Tech head coach Scott Meredith, as he saw six of his former basketball players receive diplomas at Saturday's commencement held at John F. Moehl Stadium on the campus of Oregon Tech.
Among the 2014 graduating class were six women's basketball players who combined for 4,413 points, 2,945 rebounds, 1,145 assists, 473 blocked shots and 469 steals. The six players combined to play in 620 career games, including 347 starts. Two landed on the Cascade Conference Academic Team on multiple occasions and one named a NAIA Scholar Athlete on two occasions.
Pictured left to right: Two-year player Jazzy McDaniel (Oakland, Calif., 2008-09 & 2010-11) – earned a degree in Applied Mathematics with three-year player Maria Ramirez (La Pine, Ore., 2011-14) receiving a degree in Communication Studies. Kiana Caban (2010-14, Brentwood, Calif.) – Communication Studies, Morgan Hofman (2008-2012, Bend, Ore.) – Radiologic Science, head coach Scott Meredith, Karissa Dixon (2010-14, Medford, Ore.) - Applied Psychology and Kassi Conditt (2010-14, La Pine, Ore.) – Communication Studies, all played four seasons for the Hustlin' Owls.

Hadlee is just an amazing girl! She is one that you should really hold on to! Sometimes she is quite moody but the rest of her makes up for it. She is funny and BEAUTIFUL! Most of the boys have a huge crush on her. Sad thing is.. she usually has her eyes set on a certain guy... She falls in love easily. Don't mess with her because she is tough and she has A LOT of friends who would back her up. She gets along with most everyone and is not prep. She is also very into sports. She can play any sport she wants!

"After going through three cheap, mass market trampolines in 5 years when my kids were younger, I was glad to find JumpSport last year. My kids use it constantly, and it's so much better than the other ones we had before. I wish it had been the first trampoline I bought a long time ago!"

DoubleBounce™ or Variable-, Power-, Staged-, & SoftBounce™ Patented Trampoline Safety Systems
(Engineered to improve shock absorption of the jumping surface & to smooth energy transfer between the jumper and the trampoline bed)
No Patented Safety Improvements to Protect Jumpers & Prevent Injuries
(Faster deceleration = more stress on jumpers body = higher back & joint compression = increased injuries during awkward landings, etc.)
Triple & Dual-Staged™ or Extra-Stretch™ Springs & Taller Frame Height (Safer, softer, deeper bounce = less stress on jumper so the springs absorb more energy = better return, higher bounce & improved safety for kids and adults)
Stiffer springs & Shorter frame = Higher Bed Tension (Harder, shallower bounce = more stress on jumper = body must compress & bend to absorb more energy = less energy goes into springs = lower return energy = lower bounce = less safety & fun)
10 Rows Mat Stitching with UV Shield to Protect Threads
4 Rows Mat Stitching/No UV shield to protect threads
Thick Trampoline Spring Pad for Safety: Our higher density closed cell foam is 1.5" thick for AlleyOop from edge to edge and 1" thick at the frame tapering to 1/2" for JumpSport.
Thin Frame/Spring Pad: Average foam thickness across pad is less than 0.65" thick, with just 1/2" foam over 65% of the pad surface.

Figure skating as we know it got its start in the mid-19th century, when an American named Jackson Haines combined dancing and skating for the first time. Americans did not accept Haines's technique, so he moved to Vienna, Austria, where he was an immediate success. Some 50 years later, Haines's style finally caught on in the United States.
Figure skating became an Olympic sport before there were Winter Games. Events for pairs and singles first appeared at the London 1908 Summer Games. Ice dancing joined the Olympics in 1976, when the Games were held in Innsbruck, Austria.
The Rules of the Game
In singles skating, each skater performs a short routine of required steps, jumps, spins, and combinations, as well as a longer free-skating routine. The pairs event follows the same format, but with one male and one female performing together.
Ice dance is performed by one male and one female, too. But unlike pairs skating, ice dance does not include overhead lifts and jumps. An ice dance competition is made up of three parts: one set to music that has a required rhythm and tempo, and two parts set to whatever music the ice dancers choose.
A panel of nine judges scores the quality of each figure skating performance, but only seven out of nine scores are used. To determine which judges' scores will be used, there is a random draw before each event. Skaters are given a grade for each step, jump, spin, or any other element that is part of their routine. They also receive an "overall" score for each performance. The person or team with the highest total score is the winner.

Where I stayed
Little bit of cursing of inbuilt GPS and we were off. Saw the sunrise over the fields. Jet trails glowing pink, orange in morning light. Birds of prey hovering over fields in search of the early worm or field mouse. Orderly rows of poplars and leafless trees silhouetted against the morning sky. It's right pretty this French countryside it is!
Came up against our first GPS error when the road was barred, resulting in an interesting excursion up and subsequent backing down of an embankment. Good job Jeff! Found the road again and continued onto Brissac chateau.
This is located on Rue Moron - just what we felt like when we couldn't find it even though it was huge and practically waving "Hello stupid tourists, I am here!" at us
Sooooo much water in the river here. Everywhere rivers have burst their banks. We're constantly amazed by the volume of water. I'll probably get a bit repetitive with this.. be warned.
Saw our first Nuclear power plant on the way to D'Usses chateau, that was a bit unexpected to just be able to drive past one. Weird though, as we were driving up and could see this big plant on the banks of a river I had thought to myself "tch, nice place to put a polluting plant – right on the river, but then the Frogs are not that worried about the environment – just look at the atolls in the pacific they like to Nuke"... and then saw it was a Nuclear power plant. Cue Twilight Zone music....
Found the D'Usses chateau, or the "Sleeping Beauty" castle as it's otherwise known. Impressive looking with the chateau, other buildings and a separate large church, but to be honest it's a bit too castley for my tastes
Finally arrived at Chennonceau castle (along with every tour bus in France). OK ... can now see what all the hoo haa is about as this is one damn impressive castle!
Long & wide tree lined drive to the castle which is entirely in and across the river! And the rivers running pretty fast and high at the moment, making it even more impressive. During WWII the lines of demarcation followed the river meaning the front door was in free France and the back door was in Germany occupied France. The French resistance smuggled many, many people through the castle to safety. Risky as German troops had a lookout on the castle and had orders to blow it up if the resistance were using it.
More driving and we made it to Cheverny chateau about half an hour before closing but about half an hour after all the others had already closed
After much fighting with and swearing at the shite GPS we eventually found our way to the town of Tours for our late lunch / dinner at about 8pm. Jeff was starting to look tasty by this point.
Had a lovely French meal of burger, frites and pizza at a pub. We really didn't care by this point, as long as it was warm and palatable and hey, "frites" is French! Had a quick look at the Christmas trees and lights and at the few market stands that were still open. Noticed that condom vending machines are common outside pharmacies – seen these in a few places now. Only in France!
Had to keep Jeff awake during the two hour drive home in the dark & arrived back around 11pm. Great day roaming the French countryside but two sleepy, sleepy possums now.
