Krush.13 Results: Krush Sweeps Europe 3-0
- Written by Dave Walsh
Earlier today at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Krush held Krush.13, an event headlined by three Krush vs Europe fights.
In the night's main event, K-1 -63kg 2011 Japan Tournament champion Yuta Kubo defeated France's Tristan Benard by knockout, 52 seconds into the 3rd round. Kubo seems to have controlled the fight completely, on his way to a decision victory before putting the Frenchman away. The win is a 7th straight for Kubo and his 12th win in his past 13 fights, with his sole loss coming in the finals of the K-1 -63kg 2010 Tournament to Tetsuya Yamato. Kubo was guaranteed a spot in a possible -63kg World Tournament, but with K-1's sale and transition into the current FIKA, Kubo's future is unknown. It is likely that he will be seeded into the round of 32, though as one of the hottest fighters in the division at the moment, he may not have much trouble fighting his way through another qualifying tournament.
In the second Krush vs Europe fight and what may have been the closest, Krush 60kg champion Hirotaka Urabe was taken the distance by Mike's Gym product Maik Redan, but Urabe came out on top on scores of 30-28(x2) and 30-27. Urabe was able to win a clear decision, but not without resistance from the young fighter. At just 17, Redan looks to have a bright future training out of Mike's Gym, but the challenge of the Krush champion was too much for him this early in his career. For Urabe, it's a 6th straight win and it is likely that he will defend his title soon. Good options for defenses are RISE champion Kosuke Komiyama, whose challenge was dismissed by Urabe, or the winner of the Krush Supernova tournament semifinal match between Masaaki Noiri and HIROYA.
In the final Krush vs Europe fight, Krush 55kg champion Shota Takiya overwhelmed the UK's Damien Trainor en route to a 3rd round stoppage, 53 seconds into the round as a result of a flying knee. It's a 7th straight for Takiya who is a real force at 55kg. A third fight with Ryuya Kusakabe for the Krush title would be a great rubber match and would be a great addition to any Krush card.
Also on the card, Team Dragon prospect Hideaki Yamazaki picked up his 4th straight win with a first round knockout of Hayato Hatakeyama, while Krush regular NOMAN picked up a 2nd round KO and MMA fighter Daisuke Endo continued his kickboxing career with a draw. {jcomments on}

Rose Mary Bundscho Tonya Kowa-Morelli Tina Tromiczak Karen DeMaio Eileen Rogers Jeanne Lampe Adrienne Myers Nicole Colon By Cheryl Adams Facebook Facebook Twitter Twitter LinkedIn LinkedIn Google + Google+ Email Email 1 Comment Comments IT'S A MAN'S world. Or is it? For some women, infiltrating the "Good Ol' Boys Club" long associated with printing has been extremely challenging. For others, gender hasn't been that much of a factor when breaking into (and rising up in) this traditionally male-dominated business. However, like most businesswomen (no matter what the field), being female in a corporate world of suits and ties often requires women to be intuitive, intelligent and wise. Not so long ago, many women in printing were either part of a family owned business or were wives of print shop owners. Today, there are many independent women who start and run their own companies, or who have ascended the leadership (and ownership) ladder of their family's firms—and are achieving great success on their own. Below is a small sampling of these amazing ladies. May they stand up and take a bow! TINA TROMICZAK President Berlin Industries Carol Stream, IL Tina Tromiczak didn't grow up dreaming of landing a high-powered career in printing. In fact, she happened upon it. In 1983, she joined RR Donnelley in the human resources department at one of its largest manufacturing facilities. She didn't know much about HR, and she knew little to nothing about printing; she just answered a help-wanted ad in the newspaper. By 1989, a career in printing had found Tromiczak, not the other way around. She moved from HR to a management position in manufacturing at Donnelley and came face-to-face with her destiny. In her 21-year stint at RR Donnelley, Tromiczak held the positions of HR manager; bindery manager; pressroom manager; international HR director; vice president of operations for central region Financial; vice president of strategy, Financial Business Unit; and senior vice president of operations, Donnelley Financial Print Business. Tromiczak was the first female to serve in the last three positions mentioned above. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 AllNext » 1 Comment View Comments Companies:Berlin IndustriesHeidelbergHuston-Patterson Corp.Ramsey PressRR DonnelleyXerox Corp.

PATERSON, NJ – It was about 3 am on a Tuesday morning at the end of the winter of 2011 when three dancers from the Sunrise Gentleman's Club went to the Egg Platter for something to eat after work. In the next booth were three off-duty Paterson police officers.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Newark this month, one of woman alleges that the three officers began slurring "sexually explicit, degrading and sexist epithets" at the women. The officers also made "vulgar remarks" about the women's "attire and profession" that showed sexism and "bias against females,'' the lawsuit said.
The federal complaint says those sexual comments precipitated a March 15, 2011 dispute that resulted in one of the dancers, Linette Vasquez of Paterson, being arrested and handcuffed to a bench in a Paterson police department holding cell, where video recording taken by a city surveillance camera seems to show one of the officers from the diner, Michael Avila, lifted her and slammed her to the ground.
Although the criminal accusations that Avila and Vasquez filed against each other were dismissed, the officer currently is serving a 90-day suspension on departmental charges and the City of Paterson faces what could prove to be a costly lawsuit filed by the dancer.
News 12 first broke the story about the alleged police brutality on January 18 and broadcast the video footage from the holding cell. The lawsuit, certified on January 23, included details that previously have not been disclosed, including the allegation that the officers made sexual comments to the women at the diner and the names of several other officers involved in the incident.
The lawsuit accuses the officers and the city of civil rights violations, false arrest, malicious prosecution, gender discrimination, negligence and various other offenses. The complaint says charges filed against Vasquez were a "pretext" for the "unlawful assault and battery and use of excessive force" against the dancer.
City administration officials have declined to comment on the case because of the pending litigation.
The lawsuit says Avila, who has been on the police force since 2005, was with two other officers at the diner – Andre Jackson and Michael Mezey. Vasquez' attorney, Nancy Lucianna, said all three officers made offensive comments to the women, who were accompanied at the booth by a male friend of theirs.
At some point, Paterson Police Officer Juan C. Rodriguez arrived at the scene, the lawsuit says. At 3:40 pm, Vasquez was arrested, according to the complaint. Lucianna said it was Rodriguez who handcuffed her client and placed her in his patrol car, but it was Avila who filed the charges against the woman.
In May 2012, a grand jury dismissed an assault charge that Avila had filed against Vasquez, Lucianna said. Two other charges – inciting a riot and disorderly conduct – were sent to Paterson municipal court, the attorney said. Several times, Vasquez and Lucianna appeared in municipal court to contest those two charges, but Avila never showed up and eventually the other charges were dismissed in September 2012, according to the lawyer.
Then, in October 2012, a grand jury decided not to indict Avila for his alleged actions in the holding cell. "I'm not permitted in the grand jury room, I don't know what they saw or heard,'' Lucianna said when asked whether the grand jury viewed the surveillance video of the alleged attack.
After the grand jury took no action, the Paterson police department held a disciplinary hearing regarding Avila and imposed the current 90-day suspension, officials said.
The timing of that hearing could turn out to haunt the city. In at least one other case of alleged abuse by police officers, the city has waited to conduct disciplinary hearings until after the civil case was complete so that the departmental findings would not help the party suing the city, officials said. In this case, Vasquez had not yet filed her lawsuit when the police department went ahead with its charges against Avila.

Sixty percent of Wisconsin residents think Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy are more concerned about the long-term future of the franchise than Brett Favre is, a statewide poll released Tuesday shows.
At the same time, the survey by the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute shows that favorable feelings among state residents for the future Hall of Famer have dropped dramatically since December. According to the poll, only 47% of those surveyed had a favorable view of Favre, while 34% had an unfavorable view.
That is a startling drop in support for the three-time most valuable player, who is perhaps the Packers' greatest player ever. Last December, as Favre's Packers were readying a playoff run that would take them to the NFC Championship Game, 73% of the people in Wisconsin had a favorable view of him and only 7% had an unfavorable view.
In September 2004, 75% of those surveyed in Wisconsin had a favorable view of Favre and only 9% had an unfavorable view.
But after his tearful news conference in March when he announced that he was retiring, Favre began having second thoughts and indicated an interest in coming back to play even though the team had decided to turn to Aaron Rodgers to play quarterback.
The survey was conducted statewide on Sunday and Monday. The survey was being conducted as Favre arrived back in Green Bay after being reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in an effort to end the standoff between the quarterback and the franchise.
Survey respondents were asked this question: 'Who do you think is most concerned about the long-term future of the Green Bay Packers - Brett Favre and his supporters, or general manager Ted Thompson and his coach, Mike McCarthy?'
According to the survey, 60% said Thompson/McCarthy and 16% said Favre. A total of 24%, nearly one-quarter of those surveyed, either didn't know or declined to answer.
Support for Thompson and McCarthy was statewide, according to the survey, with the strongest support (75%) coming from the Milwaukee area.
In the Green Bay area, Thompson and McCarthy were supported by 71% of the survey respondents, while Favre supporters were at only 15%.
The support for management in the ongoing tussle between Favre, who wants to return to play professional football, and the Packers, who want to move on without him, could be reflected in the fact that the Packers are professional football's only publicly owned franchise. The franchise says 112,015 people own shares in the team.
Survey respondents were asked this question in relation to Favre: 'Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of him?'
For those who had a favorable view of Favre, his strongest support came from Milwaukee's suburbs (54%) and Waukesha (56%).
Favorable views of Favre were weakest in Green Bay (31%). In December, 82% of those surveyed in the Green Bay area had a favorable view of him.
The telephone poll surveyed 600 residents who said they were likely voters in the November presidential election.
The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

I'VE JUST RETURNED FROM A short vacation in Berkeley and San Francisco, and while I was there, I did a mini-tour of some of the area's several famous comics stores. I only made it to two, but they were impressive enough that it seemed worth writing a bit about them and showing off some pictures I took.
Isotope: The Comics Lounge, located on San Francisco's Fell Street, has an unassuming storefront, but it gets across what it's about with its striking logo and the diverse set of graphic novels in its bright, clean windows. The store is narrow, not much wider than the display windows, but extends a ways into the building. Immediately inside, the store earns its "lounge" designation with a sleek design and a nice arrangement of couches, complemented by another in the store's upstairs section, inviting customers to sit, read, and relax, much like many bookstores do.
The day I came in, the store was manned by Kirsten Baldock, the writer of Smoke & Guns (illustrated by Fábio Moon) and member of San Francisco's Writers Old Fashioned collective, who explained some of the store's features, including several original covers from 100 Bullets hanging above the shelves—still there from the store's wrap party for the recently concluded series—and the minicomics lounge in the upper section.
Row after row of minis, each stacked at least ten deep, fill a couple of racks, ranging from $1 photocopied larks to elaborately hand-assembled works of art. A selection of minicomics this large can be overwhelming, as the bulk of unfamiliar names and art styles provides little to go by beyond first impressions. On the other hand, minis are quirky enough, and generally cheap enough, that it can be a lot of fun to gamble on a handful, even if some of them disappoint. I went through them for several minutes and picked out a few interesting-looking ones.
Next, Baldock pointed out Isotope's famous gallery of toilet seat art lining the walls near the ceiling, beginning by the front door with Brian Wood's seat, the one that started it all. I'd heard about the toilet seats before, and even seen pictures, but I wasn't sure exactly what the story behind them was. As Baldock explained it to me, it can be traced back, like so many things, to booze.
After an event at the store involving heavy drinking by all involved, Wood used a Sharpie to draw on many of the surfaces in Isotope's bathroom. His work on the toilet being declared the best, it went on display. Rick Remender requested to do the same at another event, and the toilet seat art became a tradition. Dozens now grace the walls all over the store. I asked if Isotope buys toilet seats in bulk, and Baldock confirmed that they buy them ten at a time, earning them "some strange looks at Home Depot."
A few toilet seats from Isotope's famous collection.
On the left is Brian Wood's, the one that started it all.
The layout is clean and streamlined, divided into a few clearly distinct sections. Comics are arranged into a rack of new releases, both stapled and with spines, a larger rack of the last few months' worth of stapled comics, and graphic novels on bookshelves toward the back. The graphic novels are divided into major publishers and independents, with a shelf highlighting books by local authors. Nearby, more shelves hold an assortment of all-ages graphic novels, with a smattering of stapled offerings.
Overall, Isotope has a very fun and inviting atmosphere. The selection of comics isn't as extensive as you'll find at some stores, but the galleries of art, toilet seat and otherwise, the many events, and the great assortment of minis make up for it. If I lived in the Bay Area, I'd likely do my back issue shopping elsewhere, but I'd definitely come by for events and check in regularly to check out the art and see what new minis had come in.
Incidentally, Baldock is looking for an artist for her new graphic novel, which we talked a bit about, she describing it as "Jimmy Stewart in a Blade Runner-type world." So, hey, artists, get in touch with Kirsten Badrock. It sounds like good stuff.
Across the bay in Berkeley, Shattuck Avenue's Comic Relief also lives up to its own title, "The Comic Bookstore." The atmosphere is much more like a well-stocked independent bookstore than any comic shop I've been to, with an open and well-lit space, and a huge selection that leans heavily toward comics with spines. Books are arranged along the outer walls, and a collection of islands spotlight particular categories like new books, clearance books, and others. Oh, and there are cats.
Comic Relief's layout is pretty expansive, making room for all the stock and islands with plenty of clearance for people to walk around and browse. During the time I was there, there were always several people looking around, with a fairly even balance between men and women. The age range skewed to people in their 20s, not surprising with the store's proximity to UC Berkeley, but people of a variety of ages came and went while I browsed.
The store's many books are sorted by genre, which include Fiction and Literature, Children's, Superheroes, Comic Strips, Art Books, Manga, Erotica, etc. Most sections are alphabetical by title, but the Fiction and Literature section contains an island in which a selection of popular books are arranged alphabetically by author, and throughout the store, other islands spotlight particular authors such as Alan Moore and Osamu Tezuka (a sign in the Tezua section advertised a free Black Jack poster with any Tezuka purchase). Each section is well-stocked, mostly with new books, but some used copies, including the odd out-of-print volume, are mixed in.
A nice, bookstore-like touch I noticed as I walked around were how many notes were taped to various shelves, especially in the New Comics section, where notes pointed out standalone issues that represented good jumping-on points, the beginnings of new storylines, the participation of a particular writer or artist, and other helpful details.
I didn't talk to the staff as much as at Isotope, but from eavesdropping they seemed knowledgeable and helpful when other customers had questions. I didn't notice staff walking around the store much, but they were positioned at desks in a few different areas, so a store employee was never far away when people had questions.
Comic Relief is very successful in its mission of being a comics store in the style of a bookstore. A result is that it's less lively than a store like Isotope, with less of a unique feel, and no calling card like Isotope's toilet seat art. Not that that's a terrible thing—looking and feeling just like any of a number of bookstores is actually a huge step up from the average comics store. However, the bookstore atmosphere actually makes Comic Relief feel cozier than Isotope, despite being quite a bit bigger. The layout begs for lengthy browsing, and while I bought less than I did as Isotope, I spent a lot more time at Comic Relief. I can imagine it being a frequent hangout for lots of UCB students.
I'd have liked to have hit a few more of the area's stores on my tour, but these were the two that worked out. While I was wandering Telegraph Avenue, I was reminded that the venerable Comics and Comix has been closed a few years. And I almost visited Comics Experience in San Francisco as well, but I made it to Isotope at the end of my only full day in the city and, with Baldock's help, determined that Comics Experience was already closed, so I'll have to try it out next time. I'll also be back to both Isotope and Comics Relief.

|For Immediate Release
March 3, 2004

WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has entered into conciliation agreements with the Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), and the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") resolving violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act (the Act).
The conciliation agreement resulted in total civil penalties of $132,000. Fannie Mae will pay $10,000, the NRSC will pay $24,000, and the RNC will pay a penalty of $98,000.
The Commission found that certain donations from Fannie Mae during the period from 1998 through 2000 were made to or deposited in nonfederal accounts of the party committees that were not "building funds." The Act prohibits contributions or expenditures from Congressionally chartered corporations in connection with any election. The law in effect at the time provided for a specific exception for contributions to building fund accounts.
According to the conciliation agreement, Fannie Mae donated $51,470 to the Republican Governors? Association and these funds were deposited in the Republican National State Elections Committee account of the RNC. The RNC also improperly deposited $250,000 received from the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") in its general nonfederal account in 2001 even though the donation had been properly designated for the building fund.
Fannie Mae also made donations of $50,000 to the 1999 Senate-House Dinner Committee and $100,000 to the 2000 House-Senate Dinner Committee that did not contain specific building fund designations at the time the donations were made. The Dinner Committees did, however, deposit the donations in building fund accounts.
The Commission also found that the NRSC improperly deposited three different donations it received from Freddie Mac (totaling $130,250) into nonfederal accounts not designated as building funds. These donations were refunded in 2001 ($130,000) and 2003 ($250). The FEC voted to take no further action against Freddie Mac but sent it an admonishment letter regarding a donation made to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) without a designation to a building fund. This donation was properly deposited by the NRCC.
The investigation stemmed from a complaint filed with the FEC by John Berthoud, President of the National Taxpayers Union.

|WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election
Commission has recently made public its final action on one matter
previously under review (MURs). This release contains only disposition
*There are four administrative stages to the FEC enforcement process:
It requires the votes of at least four of the six Commissioners to take any action. The FEC can close a case at any point after reviewing a complaint. If a violation is found and conciliation cannot be reached, then the FEC can institute a civil court action against a respondent.

Mission: Cactus -- Our last ditch effort

Our first point of interest along our route was not a cactus, but the Montezuma Castle, a river-side fortress made by cliff-dwelling Native Americans. You've likely seen a picture of it before. If not, you can see ours
Not long after that, the desert terrain outside our window sprouted a cactus in the distance! Then several. Then, within minutes, they were like weeds along the side of the road. There were just as many saguaro cacti out there there were any other desert plant. Kelsey needed to have a picture with one. Fortunately, we could pull off on any exit and find cacti just standing there. At one just exit, we found an abandoned gas station. There was a literal field of cacti behind it, so we had a photoshoot.
We could not believe how enormous these cacti were. They were as tall as trees. You can tell by the scale of us standing next to them, but we estimated some to be 25-30 feet. Amazing. Completely worth the detour, and a surprisingly fulfiling capstone to the end of tour. Enjoy!

I have released a PlayN implementation of Newton Adventure . This API allows to create desktop, android, ios et html5 applications from a single java code base.
Newton Adventure is now playable using a web browser and an Android device
I cannot create an iPhone application, because a Mac computer is required...
Newton Adventure is not a game engine, but his code is opensource and not hard to understand. It is therefore quite easy to create his own levels/mods/games using it.
The first step to create a Newton Adventure derivative is to get the sources and compile the game and the level editor. This procedure is documented here.
In order to reach a larger public, I put Newton Adventure on Greenlight with the help of Stuffomatic.
Greenlight is a section of the popular distribution platform Steam. Player can vote for games they want to be accepted by Steam.
The Steam version will regroup the free base game, the paying mods et integration of some Steam features (achievements for example).
After a year of development, the first Newton Adventure extension is out with two mods featuring new levels, traps and puzzle: Deluxe et Retro.
The Deluxe mod is a set of thrre new quests of six levels each: Bridge, Lab et Prison.
In Bridge, Newton try to cross a metallic bridge with teleporters and way blocked by wooden crates. The only way to pass through is to make them burn using rolling bombs or deflect fireballs.
I released a new version of Newton Adventure, a 2D free/libre platformer for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
The game goal is to go through level running, jumping and rotating the gravity. To go to next level, you need to find a key and bring it to the exit door, pushing or using gravity, without get killed by enemis or traps
Gabbro, a nice contributor, send me a mod to play with a female character in Newton Adventure.
This character is inspired by Emilie Du Châtelet, french translator of Newton's Principia Mathematica.
I added a small improvement to my score application server: scoreserver.
It was already able to:
His web interface is not very pretty, so I added the possibility to integrate the highscore tables in other web pages using a single ajax request (for sample withjQuery):
It was recently open sourced under MIT license.

Would you like me to apologize? Say, I understand where you are coming from and I am in the wrong? Frankly, even if I did that, it wouldn't make a difference.<quoted text> Once again you answer with that which applies to your own stuff. interesting, doncha think? No, maybe you don't.
<quoted text> Yes, you get to tell me whatever gives you a tingle. Of course I am shocked that you consider me an ass, but you aren't the first idiot to think that, and clearly your assessment devistates me. I don't know how, I will ever recover from your disapproval.
<quoted text> Aw, once again your show your stupidity. A wise man once said "A stupid person tells me what I think. A smart one asks."
Confirming your stupidity (or maybe just foolish youth), I have re-assessed many things, even here. Nothing that you or Dubya has said of course, but ideas advanced by others.
<quoted text>
Of course it is possible.
<quoted text> You lie, of course. That is clearly not your agenda. And you assume I have a problem simply because I reject your bullsh!t. Seems like you mis-identify the one with any problem here.
<quoted text> I don't believe you.
<quoted text> That is correct. There was nothing you did that accomplished anything. Nothing at all. But that's what happens when you lie. If you want to believe that my tone is vile, I invite you to do so. Your belief has nothing to do with reality. If ytou want to believe that I'm a bad person, I invite you to do so. Your belief has nothing to dow ith reality. Some idiots believe all gays are sick perverts. Does that stupid belief make it so? They may claim to have superior intelligence and education. Does that make it so?
<quoted text> I'm not sure why you are obsessed with my bodily waste frangance, but that's your obsession, not mine. Your assessment is irrelevant and also incorrect as is most of your silly nonsense that you take so very seriously.
You didn't ask, you demanded. In the process, you made yourself look foolish. You have an opportunity to learn from your mistake, but somehow I don't believe you are mature enough to do so.
That, of course, is just my opinion... not that you're interested in anybody's opinion but your own.
I only hope that in the future we can have a good conversation without resorting to name-calling, bashing, or degrading one another's character.
Have a nice evening.

Dayton, Ohio -- A report Wednesday by the Business Courier said that Petco has purchased a 29-store Complete Petmart chain, based in Dayton, Ohio.
Financial terms of the purchase were not disclosed. San Diego, Calif.-based Petco said all of the chain's 230 employees will become employees of privately held Petco Animal Supplies.
Petco said it will be making changes to the former Complete Petmart store layouts over the next few weeks.

two lighting questions (Wiring)
2006/2007 Ford Focus 4 door.
1: I want to add aftermarket fog lamps, and omit the turn off with brights feature. (I want them on unless I push the knob in to turn them off)
I know they run thru a relay under the hood in the compartment, what do I need to jump to go around it?
2: What is the wiring for the overhead map/door lights?
There are two plugs, one with 2 wires, one with 1 single.
I want to splice in some small LED strips for around the overhead console
and just need to know where my hot and ground is up there.
reply here or to firstname.lastname@example.com :)
The orange single wire is constant power. It has power even when the key is removed from the car.
The two black wires are the grounds. One is a constant ground allowing you to turn on the dome light whenever you'd like. The other ground is managed by the door ajar system; when a door is opened, it connect the ground which activates the dome light. I don't remember which ground is which but a tester or trial and error will find them.
thanks I'll get in there and try it out :)
Moved to Ford Focus Mk1 discussions. Yeah, it seems like this is all interior mods, but it's supposed to be body mods too. General Technical Chat is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls. In other words, fixing problems. Thanks for posting!
FYI: I personally don't like the methods mentioned here for bypassing the relay because I don't like putting things under a relay. Another more difficult method is to identify that relay socket, turn the fuse box over, and tie those 2 wires together with a "suitcase" electrical connector designed for putting 2 wires together. Remember, your brights rely on this relay as well, so if it were to become loose, you'd have no brights.
I have no problem with bypassing the relay's function because- in this case- the fog lights are basically switched by the light switch not the relay. What you have is a normally open and normally closed combination relay- 6 pins, 2 small pins, and 4 large pins. If you flip the relay over, you'll see small numbers beside each pin. those correspond to the relay diagram on the side of the relay. The NO pins are for the brights. The NC pins are for the fogs. That's why you can't have both at the same time. In the case of the brights, the toggle switch switches the relay coils- not the power of the brights. In the case of the low power fogs, the switch itself is sufficient.
Do what you want, many people have done it like described, and I know of no problems. As a 20+ year veteran of electrical work, I just can't recommend doing it like that.

New chill/dub beat I am working on.
I know I haven't been here the longest so many of you do not know that I also in my spare time like to practice my music production.
Here is a little something I have been working on the past couple days.
Please let me know what you all think if you'd like!

I think its pretty dope! Really like the picture as well!
New chill/dub beat I am working on.
Pretty nice man! I'm about as big a Dubstep and Drum&Bass junky as it gets lol! Few pointers...not trying to criticize just giving an opinion.
Your intro is quite nice. You've got a good sound effect going on the background and unique kick & snare pattern on the foreground...I like it. One thing you could add to your intro is some high hats to kick up the tempo, and modulated bass tones before the drop.
Your timing at the end is perfect, and ready for the drop. That's where it's at and will determine if people will follow you IMO. Make it dirty lol! Doing great though man. Keep it up!
Some of my favs:
Beat down sections!
Sub bass tones on drops
Dropped levels for second verse/drop

If you slide over to crankygeeks.com, a web-based video discussion show about tech and arts, you'll find the current show has some good advice for would-be writers. A quick search on the site reveals an earlier episode featuring Neil Gaiman as a guest, who also has similarly good advice on the life of a writer.
The filming for the short drama I wrote (co-wrote, really, given it turned into a collaboration between myself, a script editor and a director) for a BBC mini-project has had its filming date moved back to late January, which is a shame because I'll be out of the country at the time. But, it is getting filmed, which is the main thing: I have no idea how it's going to come out, since there's a big difference between a written script and a filmed script (as I discovered during a workshop earlier this year run by a TV director). But I should get a copy of the finished film sometime, I think, in February.

Take a Stand Against Sitting: 7 Ways to Stay Fit at Work
ACE Fit Share
March 28, 2013, 12:00AM
We're giving a high intensity twist to two tried and true exercises- the squat and the lunge. Give these moves a try and let us know which one wins your vote!
Sprinter Pulls
Begin in a half kneeling position with your right foot forward and left leg back, and bend both elbows. Keeping your abdominals engaged, draw your left arm forward and your right arm back. From that position, exhale as you explode up, driving your left knee forward and up as you balance on your right foot, while at the same time driving your opposite left arm forward and your right arm back, keeping the elbows bent and close to the sides of the body. Hold this position briefly before returning to your starting position and repeat on the opposite side. To kick up the intensity of this exercise rise up onto the toes of the standing leg or add in a small hop to make this a more explosive movement.
Jump Squats
Stand tall with your feet hip-width distance apart and shift your hips back down (a movement known as a hip hinge) as you lower towards the floor, bending your knees. After a very brief pause, jump into the air, extending the legs as you keep the feet level with each other and parallel to the floor. To avoid stressing the knees, be sure to land softly and quietly on the mid-foot, rolling into the heels as you push your hips back and down to absorb the impact of landing.

Today, Monday 18th October 2010, is the day that all US forex brokers must disclose their account profitability and number of non discretionary accounts. I've already published Interbank FX's and FXCM's numbers here and today I've gone ahead and compiled a comparison table of US brokers. Ten brokers have reported the numbers so far while I couldn't find FXDD and Advanced Markets numbers yet. CMS Forex and Easy Forex are out of the game as you already know.. It's not yet clear whether SEC brokers such as Citi or Deutsche will need to provide these numbers as well.
Now you can compare various brokers account profitability and see where your own broker stands. With the exception of OANDA, which completely stands out from rest of the brokers both in terms of account profitability and in number of accounts, all other brokers show more or less same numbers – around 25% profitable accounts on average. PFG shows the worst profitability with only 21% profitable and IG Markets is the smallest US brokers with only 464 accounts (a fraction comparing to the numbers of the largest US broker in terms of accounts – OANDA).
Please note that it's not yet fully known whether all brokers used same methodology when counting these numbers.
Those who'd like to see the full quarterly breakdown the numbers are below.

MAF without Screen (add mid-range torque!)
I've got a MAF here that has had the fine mesh screen removed. If you're looking to experiment with this controversial modification, this is your chance! For more information on this modification and the hp/torque gains available, check out this thread: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...ight=Mass+FLow
If you're interested, send me a PM, and we'll work something out.
How much will you sell it for? Also, when you had it on your 330i, did you feel any power gain? any electrical problems? etc, etc.? If you don't want to post the asking price here, email me at email@example.com
I made this modification as an experiment when my car was on the dyno to see if it produced the gains that others had experienced. It indeed produced dramatic results, up to 15lbs/ft of torque throughout the midrange. Since that's the part we drive in most, I could really feel the change everytime I went out. There were no electrical problems, just a brief period of driving after installation in which the ECU adapted to the new airflow.
I used it for the last 2 weeks. It's been alright, although when I first did the mod, it went into "limp mode" as it was still adapting. It's been fine since then.
Hello sfzBimmer2,
I'm selling it because I want to keep that part of my car stock. Although the gains are there and I haven't had reliability problems, I don't want to run into any problems with warranty or the fact that my car is a lease. All of my other mods are easily reversible with the OEM parts they replaced, but this mod is less reversible.

One with the UniverseOutdoor installation
Conduit pipes, paint
Below is a selection of the hundreds of portraits taken on the day of the event.
Become One with the Universe
This work is a collaborative project between Tex Jernigan, Robert Heishman, Jeff Eaton, Dominique Karwoski, and Matt Peake. It also couldn't have happened without print designer El Bryan, and the help of promoter Just!n Eagan. This also just wouldn't have happened were it not for the hard work of Jordan Johnson, Jared Wilson, Darius Goodson & Matt Cygnet. Also, special thanks to those who drove their cars all over the lawn for the the night shots, Dustin Cockerham, Michael Wickerson, Patti Krueger, Mo Wooler, Ben MCullough, Paul Short, Will Anderson, Jessi Lively, Matt Cygnet, Richard, & Dominique Karwoski. Most of all, thank you to the hundreds of participants, you are the ones who made this.
About the Collaborators
Tex Jernigan was born in Sherman, Texas; raised in Dallas, Texas; and lives in Kansas City, Missouri. After completing his BFA Degree in Sculpture from Kansas City Art Institute in 2007, he embarked on a four month tour of the western United States, creating and exhibiting several installations at sites including the Harveyville Project in Kansas; the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, Nebraska; the Art Farm at Grand Island, Nebraska; Colorado Art Ranch in Durango, Colorado; and Scottsdale Center for Public Art in Scottsdale, Arizona. These sculptural installations combine Jernigan's ongoing interest in perspective with a participatory, performative component, as people are invited to stand, and be photographed within, his illusionistic constructions. Jernigan's work has also been featured in group exhibitions at venues including Stonefox, NYC; Roots and Culture Project, Chicago; Robert Frazier Gallery, Kansas City; and the Dallas Museum of Art.
Dominique Karwoski is a clothing designer, ceramicist, and from Kansas City, Missouri. Karwoski spent time developing her processes in India as well as Alaska, and currently lives and works in New Orleans, Louisiana. Karowksi received her degree in Ceramics and Fibers from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2008.
Robert Chase Heishman is a writer, photographer, and video artist. His invented photographic techniques include the capturing of images through Braillography, Fistography, and exploration of the soap opera character from which he was named after. Heishman received his B.F.A. in Photography and Art History in 2008 from the Kansas City Art Institute. He created an original decor for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company's Split-Sides (2003), has contributed artwork for Sigur Ros' BA BA TI KI DI DO, and has spoke at Columbia College in Chicago, Kansas University, and Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. He held residency at the Charlotte Street Foundation of Kansas City, and is in the photography collection at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Jeff Eaton is a curator and artist living in Brooklyn. He received a MFA in studio art and a MA in art history from Purchase College, SUNY in 2010. Recent projects include a Curatorial Fellowship from the Neuberger Museum of Art and inclusion in the group exhibition Thinking Photography at the Nelson-Atkins Museum.
Matthew Peake is a photographer living and working in Riddle, Iowa. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications Cum Lade from Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa with an emphasis in video production and graphic design. For two years upon graduation Peake worked as a director of television news at KIMT News Channel 3 in Mason City, Iowa. He moved to Kansas City so he could pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree at the Kansas City Art Institute. Peake interned at Vedros Studios and at The Society of Contemporary Photography both located in Kansas City.
The Process
The illusion of this project is achieved through fixed perspective at a hard angle elevated 14' above ground elevation. To create this radiating illusion, hundreds of galvanized steel pipes were hammered into the ground at various angles across a distance of field. The project, entitled Become One with the Universe, was created with the help of several collaborators and hundreds of participant-collaborators over the course of a few weeks in September. The method for creating this perspective illusion can be seen in other works by Tex Jernigan.

If you want your people to PERFORM, they have to COMMUNICATE.
Would you like your people to be more ASSERTIVE in working together, serving customers, and getting things done?
Would you like to create a POSITIVE communication environment for your customers and one where your people are open and supportive of each other?
Can you imagine the results you could achieve if all your communication was PURPOSEFUL?
And do you want your employees to walk away from a program with PRACTICAL tips, tools, and techniques they can implement immediately?
Then you need PERFORMANCE COMMUNICATION TM
Assertive communication that is positive, purposeful, and practical.

"As the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system works to overcome the recently documented access-to-care problems, I am writing to tell you that the physicians of Texas are here to help you and the veterans you serve," Dr. King wrote. Already, more than 200 TMA-member physicians have signed up for the association's registry.
The action came after the American Medical Association House of Delegates, at the urging of Texas physicians, voted overwhelmingly to ask President Barack Obama to provide timely access to entitled care for eligible veterans through the health care sector outside the VA system until VA can provide care in a timely fashion. AMA immediately fired off a letter calling on the president to "take immediate action" to clear the way for private-sector physicians to help reduce the VA backlog.
If you haven't signed up for the registry, please go to the TMA website and check the "I am willing to serve veterans" box.

The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has got many experts predicting a future in which currently tractable diseases, like tuberculosis, became untreatable again. The popularity of modern antibiotics, ironically, is what is leading to their downfall: antibiotics in consumer products, like soaps, as well as the excessive use of antibiotics by people who have no bacterial infections, help select for strains of bacteria that don't respond to drugs. Factory-farmed livestock, which receive tremendous doses of antibiotics in their feed, are also a likely breeding ground for resistant bacteria that could potentially infect humans.

My wife is in India and currently under the treatment of a rhematologist there. she is taking 7.5 mg of methotrexate every week. She is due for a follow up visit and the doctor had suggested that he may add Arava to Methotrexate. I have read articles to the effect that these two medicines don't go well together. Grateful for your advice.
DMARDs for Arthritis Q & A
Mixing other medications with Enbrel, such as cough medicine.
Can you take cough medicine or other remedies from over the counter, if you are taking enbrel injections (anti-tnf)?
Can Rheumatoid Arthritis affect the eyes?
My mother is 62 y.o and dx'd with RA with nodes on her fingers, and had a previous MRI noting disc dissecation in her L spine. Recently, she woke up with a detached retina, hemorroraging in her eyes and two large floaters. She has seen by her Internal, and and opthalmalagoist who told her they needed to wait for the hermorrhging to stop but then they decided not to proceed with any surigical treatment. They gave her a new RX. She is in a lot of pain and her Internal is more concerned about addiction and not treating her pain. – She is still very active but i noticed she is getting very tired all the time. – Trying to find information about RA affecting the eyes is very slim. That is essentially what they told her is that the inflammation is causing her eye problems. That is fine and acceptable but I am trying to find someone who can give us not only a second opinion but a better idea of the severity of her dz. To boot she has GI problems, diverticulitis, IBS, and gastritis limits the types of medications she can use. My mother stated that two years ago the rheumatologist told her her condtion was not severe. They did offer her Humera shots or IV, is there not a tablet form of this medication? I want to make sure as her daughter that we take the best care of her and understand the severity of her condition and the "possible" course so we can be set to care for her in the upcoming years.
Outcomes of Arava vs Humira for RA
Please compare the outcomes of Arava vs Humira for RA. I am 51, have been on both in the past and need to choose between them.
Pregnancy and Methotrexate
I was taking methotrexate 8 pills 1 x a week at 2.5 mg. I began last August and stopped this past March. I want to get pregnant but I have some concerns. I have been reading on the internet that there have been reported cases of birth defects such as spina bifida in women who took methotrexate prior to conception. Is waiting 6 months prior to conception long enough to get the drug out of my system?

I always love how you draw cute with a little bit of a "sick" twist to it. Harmless but a little "off color." Another shirt of yours I love.

Aw, c'mon guys...
I'm so depressed to see it out of the fog, I was already wondering if I should buy one or two
Haha dude this is awesome. I love the use of a little bold red against lots of faded green. I also think this derby is one of the better ones that have happened recently. Some of them really suck but this one has a lot of potential.

Last night I made my way to Central SAPC in Santa Monica, CA to see my girl Hustle Roses perform her first solo concert ever! As you may recall, I was able to preview last night's show when I went to her rehearsal last Saturday night and at that time, I knew she was ready for her show. What I saw last night just blew me AWAY! I was impressed during rehearsals, I was absolutely wowed during last night's live performance. I snapped some photos and shot some video, which you can check out below.
First, I have to say how proud I am of Hustle Roses's show last night. I nearly wept with glee. She sounded amazing, she looked amazing and she managed to pack the house with eager fans. I really tried to just enjoy the show but I couldn't stop taking photos … I just had the best time. It looks like she was wearing a light up dress but it was actually a lovely bright white dress that lit up under the black lighting. Here is video of Hustle Roses performing her closing number Supernova:
This is one of my fave songs so it was VERY difficult to keep from jumping all around the room. I wanted to shoot video of one of her song performances so that those of you who couldn't be at the show can experience how much fun she is live. I know that everyone in attendance last night loved the show entirely and we are all DYING for her next show. Hopefully, I'll be able to announce her next concert soon :)
After such a fun night last night, today's plan is much less exciting. I have heaps of laundry to do and then I have to go for a long run either today or tomorrow. Yay me! With my trip to Hawai'i coming up next week and my first full marathon run on the agenda, I have to get into serious running mode again. Let's go!0

Where I stayed
Chalalan Eco-lodge, where we stayed for our "jungle tour", is the top end of Madidi jungle lodge choices. The lodge is 100% owned and run by the indigenous community, San Jose de Uchupiamones, the only village within Madidi park. Chalalan is a beacon of hope in a region under extreme pressure from hunters, poachers and loggers
Our next tour was to the pampas, a savannah grassland along the Yacuma River, an area managed by the local community Santa Rosa de la Yacuma. There is no legal authority overseeing the protection of this area and tours to the pampas are not regulated, resulting in wild animals being regularly disturbed and handled by guides, The area is used for grazing cattle and has been heavily deforested. However, the river and its banks are teeming with bird life, reptiles, fish and even pink dolphins.
We stayed with our wonderful Norwegian friends at Caracol Ecolodge in the pampas, and spent days cruising the river with our guide, fishing for piranha and lounging about in hammocks. One activity, a trek through swamplands in search of anaconda, was unsuccessful (much to my relief!).
Next...on to Tihuanacu ruins and Lake Titicaca as we wind up five weeks in this fascinating country.

On Thursday, online retailer Amazon announced at its shareholder meeting that it will cut ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the right-wing policy group that has worked to suppress the black vote. The announcement came as ColorOfChange, the nation's largest black online civil rights organization, tried to deliver more than 500,000 petition signatures to the annual meeting.
In response to a shareholder's question, general counsel Michelle Wilson said Amazon has decided not to renew its membership with ALEC.
"This year, we've decided not to renew with ALEC, and it's because of positions they've taken not related to our business," Wilson said, according to the Seattle Times.
Thursday's "announcement marks a major victory for hundreds of thousands of people nationwide who have said they believe in transparency and know that ALEC threatens the ability for everyday people to participate fully in democracy," ColorOfChange Executive Director Rashad Robinson told Colorlines.com. "In deciding to part ways with ALEC, Amazon has acknowledged that it can't in good conscience market its services to Black communities while at the same time handing over customers' dollars to a right-wing think tank that has worked to suppress the Black vote."

Hungary's Rachael Ray Does Passover
Rachel Raj is one of the queens of Budapest Jewish cooking. The daughter of a noted rabbi, she authored a food column for a local Jewish magazine, makes guest appearances on TV talk shows, and a few years back anchored a 10-part series on Jewish cuisine on a leading Hungarian food channel.
Writing in Saveur, David Sax described her as a "high-octane food television host" who is the Hungarian equivalent of her American near-namesake Rachael Ray.
Model-thin and with long, dark hair, Raj, 31, prefers to describe herself as a modern-day Yiddishe Mamma. "Not someone who sits in a chair and says 'eat,'" she says. "I like to dress up, I have a profession, I have two young kids — but on Shabbat I serve a four-course Friday night meal."
She and her husband, Miklos Maloschik, operate two kosher-style cake shops in downtown Budapest: Tortaszalon, near the Danube, and Café Noe, a tiny patisserie snack bar in the heart of the old Jewish district — right next door to a Judaica shop run by Rachel's mother, who herself is the author of a Jewish cookbook.
Tortaszalon and Café Noe both specialize in traditional Jewish desserts such as flodni, a famously calorific layered concoction of apples, nuts, and poppy seeds that is one of the symbols of Hungarian Jewish cuisine. Rachel's version is arguably the best in town.
A week before Pesach, she went on national TV to show Hungarians how to make another one of her specialties, matzo apple cake.
She lined a pan with wine-doused matzo and then alternated on top of it layers of grated apples mixed with sugar and cinnamon, more matzo, and a sweet filling made of beaten egg whites and ground walnuts. Baked, cooled and cut into squares, the resulting confection is a rich but surprisingly light indulgence.
"It's 'flodni lite,'" she joked a few days later, as she served me a slice to sample.
Rachel's flodni is the star attraction in her patisseries, but she and Miklos sell matzo apple cake and also a heavier Passover cake with matzo meal, chocolate, coffee and walnuts, year round. The recipes are Rachel's but a staff of professional bakers produces the goods.
"We take old recipes and try to make them in a modern way, using natural or organic ingredients as much as we can," Miklos tells me.
For Passover, Rachel and Miklos symbolically "sold" the cafes to their non-Jewish staff so that the shops stay open.
When we spoke, Rachel was planning the seder menu she and her mother would be cooking: beef in wine sauce "with lots of onions" and a variation on matzo brei as a side dish.
"Crumble the matzo, moisten it with hot water, and then brown it in oil with onions," she said. "Then mix in beaten egg."
During Pesach she also likes to prepare another type of fried matzo, a variation on French toast. Rather than crumble the matzo, she takes squares, moistens them to soften a bit, dips them whole in beaten egg to which she adds chopped garlic, chives, onions, parsley or other herbs, and then sautés them.
Rachel says she tries to use her cooking and her extroverted public persona to reach out to the general public, in part to teach about Jews and Jewish life as a means of combating the anti-Semitism many warn is now mounting in Hungary.
She was inspired in this, she says, by her father, Rabbi Tamas Raj, who died in 2010. Rabbi Raj was persecuted under communism but in the early 1990s served as a member of Parliament.
"I call flodni the ambassador of Jewish culture," she jokes. "My Dad told me that anti-Semitism comes from a lack of knowledge and from fear. To make people change, you have to teach. And I think I can help — I have a good story, and good cake."

Prince William and Kate arrived in Canada recently for a North American tour—they'll be spending most of their time in Canada before visiting Los Angeles (their only U.S. stop). But that provides us with a great opportunity to see Kate's fashion up close!
Kate was wearing a dress by a Canadian designer when she and William arrived on the tarmac. She looks fantastic and classy in this dark patterned sheath with matching heels and clutch.
I'm less of a fan of this dress, which she wore to a barbecue. I realize it's supposed to be casual, but there's something about this that just looks frumpy to me.
But there's nothing frumpy about this outfit, which she wore earlier in the day. A very simple, classic look:

Issue #53: Portland/Brooklyn
When we started Tin House fourteen years ago, we had the crazy notion to be bicoastal. Not in Manhattan and LA, as everyone then assumed, but in Portland and Brooklyn. We wanted to tap into the long-standing vitality of both cultural centers. Alive and vibrant with independent artists, writers, and musicians, they were also at the forefront of thinking about what it means to be a sustainable modern city. Nearly fifteen years later, to our delight and dismay, both places have become cliché cool.
With this issue, we wanted to step back, cut through the hype and the ridicule, and give our readers a sampling of what attracted us to these places in the first place, and what continues to excite us. There is no one Portland, no one Brooklyn, and we don't intend for this to be the definitive record of their writing, art, and music. Beyond their thriving art scenes, the cities share concerns over gentrification and hipsterism, both of which Evan Hughes examines here, helping us understand the impulse to urbanity and hipster self- hatred. The fiction and poetry are from emerging writers—like Ben Lerner and Vanessa Veselka—as well as established ones—like Ursula K. Le Guin and Hannah Tinti. Jon Raymond delves into Occupy Portland and Charles D'Ambrosio essays a time in his life when he felt exiled in Brooklyn. Karen Karbo takes you back to a pre-foodie Portland and Salma Abdelnour explores the century-old Arabic food culture of Brooklyn.
Our aim is not to memorialize and make a museum, but to stop time briefly and show you the ever-evolving dynamism of Portland and Brooklyn. Who knows what each place will ultimately morph into, but for now, pedal your single-speed over to the coffee shop that roasts its own beans or grab a beer brewed down the block— whatever you decide to do, enjoy it guilt-free while reading this issue.

Kayaker takes on Intracoastal water way for the Red Cross
Eastern Carolina - One local kayaker is grabbing his gear and taking a solo 12 day trip across the intracoastal water way to raise money for the American Red Cross.
"Larry is combining two loves of his life, one for kayaking and one for the red cross," said Joy Branham, North Carolina Red Cross Chief Executive Officer.
Larry Williamson will navigate 220 miles along the intracoastal waterways of North Carolina with his kayak. During the trip he will skirt 15 separate counties and hope to raise $14,000. Williamson says each day is different.
"It depends on the waves and the weather really! Probably the first four or five days I hit winds upwards of 20 miles per hour and battled white caps," said Williamson.
Williamson has plenty of equipment to stay safe on his journey. He has a GPS tracking device, a marine radio, extra paddles and flotation gear. He says he hopes his efforts can raise awareness for the Red Cross.
"Every place I have stopped I have heard stories about how the Red Cross has helped people out. Just yesterday I had one family tell me the Red Cross is basically what put their neighborhood back together," said Williamson.

Here's some info, turned up with a Google search:
i was wondering if any of you fine gentleman can point me in the direction of information on a bushmaster arm pistol? thanks for looking
Here's some info, turned up with a Google search:
thanks for the reply
Yeras ago a guy I worked with had one. He asked me to take a look ar it for him as it was no longer firing when he pulled the trigger. Long story short the trigger was connected to the sear with 2 interconnected wires that looked exactly like the hooks you hang Christmas tree decorations to your tree with. The loop end of the 2nd hook had simply sliped off the sear I fixed it with some difficulty (not a lot of play and no way to get ypur fingers in the receiver to do the neccesary manipulations). Once it was returned to its owner my repair lasted for about 100 rounds before the hook once again slipped of the sear. A very interesting peice of history and worth a premium as such but the workmen ship and design features on the one I looked at did not inspire me with confadence. The one my friend had was a late production model done by Bushmaster right after they purchased the company and design from Gwinn (the original maker of the arm pistol). Not sure if the Gwinn produced pistols were better as I have never examined an early Gwinn produced arm pistol.
thanks for the info

Davis keen to make his mark
David Davis is aiming to justify the faith paid in him by his manager as Wolves look to two successive home games to get themselves back up the npower Championship table.
The home-grown midfielder was heartened to hear Stale Solbakken's insistence this week that it would send out the wrong signals to the talented youngsters already here if the club re-signed Emmanuel Frimpong while he was possibly not at peak fitness.
The Arsenal player has now moved to Charlton on loan until the New Year, leaving Davis challenging for a start at the weekend in the continued absence of suspended skipper Karl Henry.
"It's nice to hear the gaffer say that," said the Smethwick-born 22-year-old. "Now I have to repay the faith and it's up to me.
"Emmanuel is my age within a few months and I saw here last season what a good player he is. But my aim is to be as good as him.
"If I get the chance to start against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, or if I go on again as a substitute, it's in my own hands to make an impact.
"I was happy enough with how I did at Watford last weekend and he told me I had done all right and made a difference. Now I have to keep plugging away."
Davis has already added ten first-team appearances to the eight he made in the Premier League in the second half of last season and has been in Stale's 18 for every match except one.
His continued emergence extends the favourable impact he made during five loan spells in the lower divisions and Scotland but makes him hungry for more.
"Obviously, you want to play as much as you can – and I would love to play every game if possible," he added.
"But the only time I haven't been at least on the bench has been at Ipswich, when I stayed here and played a reserve match the previous day.
"So there's always the chance that I'm going to play a part in a game.
"At the start of the season, I thought my form was good, then it dipped a bit and I realised what I needed to do to play in the first team.
"With Karl as captain and doing well and Tongo remaining one of our best players, it is difficult cementing a place in a 4-4-2 system. But I've played a few games wide on the right. I don't mind that as long as I'm on that pitch."
Saturday's game may bring Wolves into direct combat with Adlene Guedioura, a player David got on well with here and who he admired considerably despite the Algerian's two long-term injuries.
More important than reunions, though, is the need for points, with Wolves looking to visits from Forest and Millwall in the space of four days as a means of reinvigorating their campaign. And a first goal for the club from him would certainly help that quest.
"Home games are a good way of building momentum again," Davis said.
"The situation we are in is not what we planned but we have to remember that we were third six or seven games ago.
"It definitely hasn't helped us having a player sent off in the last two matches but we're ready to start winning again.
"People are telling me I'm getting closer to my first Wolves goal. I had three shots at Watford – one went just over the bar and one of the others was well saved. I've never been prolific but I did manage a couple at Shrewsbury on loan and one at Inverness, so I do know where the goals are!"
