No free wifi at the airport and typing this on my phone are a lil bit of a challenge. I've got lots of time before checking in now:). Anyhoo ... moving right along. There are too many differences between this trip and my previous visits to include here. I will let you know that this time I am traveling with my boyfriend Tim and this is our first visit to Germany together. Also, my grasp of the language has not improved at all. It's shameful, really.
This is also the first time either of us has visited during Oktoberfest. It's not the focus of our trip but it's sure to be a highlight. It is one of the biggest folk festivals in all of Europe. I imagine it's going to be quite the spectacle. I love a good festival and this festival traces its beginnings to the 1810 venue for a horse race (fancy that ... I love horse races but that's another story for another time) to celebrate the marriage of Ludwig who became King of Bavaria and Therese von Saxe-Hildburghausen. Skipping forward two hundred years later to now, the festival mostly seems to be known for drinking beer ... lots and lots of beer. Hiccup ...
It should also be a fascinating people watching event with all those folks dressed up in their dirndl and lederhosen outfits dancing to oompah band music. I may need to get my own dirndl on.
As far as the food goes, I imagine I'll have my share of pretzels. I'll leave the bratwurst (sausage made from pork), frankfurters (long and thin smoked sausage), knackwurst (boiled), leberkase (meat-loaf), mettwurst (spreadable meat), pork knuckle (leg of pig between the knee/elbow and foot), weisswurst (white sausage) and wiener schnitzel (breaded veal cutlet) to the rest of y'all. The words sure are fun to say but that's about where our relationship and this first blog post ends.

A Hastings teenager accused of setting another teen alight with petrol during his birthday party has appeared in court.
In Hastings District Court today, Matt-Dillion Shannon, 17, entered no plea to a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Police laid the charge after an incident at Shannon's Warren Street flat in Hastings on August 12, where he was celebrating his 17th birthday.
During what police have described as a "drunken party", 16-year-old Hayden Calder was doused with petrol and set alight. He was taken to Hawke's Bay Hospital suffering serious burns to his neck, back and ear. He has since been discharged.
Shannon was bailed to appear in Hastings District Court next month.

Yanks No Longer Pursue Oswalt
The New York Yankees are ending their pursuit of free agent pitcher Roy Oswalt after expressing concern about his chronic back issues.
Oswalt has a history of back problems starting when he was with the Houston Astros. He reportedly has two degenerative discs in his lower back and was placed on the disabled list in June with back problems.
The Yankees are very scared of his past back problems leading to one insider saying that's why the Houston Astros traded him. Oswalt was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies at the 2010 trade deadline for J.A. Happ and minor leaguers. He has a record of 16-11 during his time in Philadelphia.
The Phillies declined Oswalt's option last week, most likely, because of his chronic back problems and did not want to be stuck with paying him $16 million.
The Yankees are still trying to pursue another starting pitcher this winter and are likely to make a bid for Texas Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson and Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle.

Twenty20 MATCH: SOUTHERN ROCKS v MID-WEST RHINOS
At Masvingo Sports Club, Thursday 11 October 2012
Result: Southern Rocks (146/5) lost to Mid-West Rhinos (147/7) by three wickets.
It was a fourth successive defeat for the struggling Southern Rocks team, but at least this time they were able to take their opponents right down to the wire. Mid-West Rhinos were forced to fight hard before they won with just one delivery to spare, but Rocks were left to rue crucial dropped catches, including two that reprieved their match-winner Brendan Taylor.
On another hot sunny morning Southern Rocks again won the toss, but this time decided to bat. They quickly lost Roy Kaia and Richmond Mutumbami, both holing out on the midwicket boundary, for 14 runs. Then came the major partnership of the innings, between the two young Derbyshire professionals Ben Slater and Peter Burgoyne, who put on 74 together in nine overs before the latter was out for 38.
Slater, who had opened the innings, went on to make 57 off 51 balls, a fine performance for a batsman of limited experience, and the innings closed at 147 for five. Mike Chinouya, with two for 25, was the must successful bowler, and at this point the match was wide open.
The Mid-West Rhinos innings began with two maiden overs, but the score had reached 28 in the sixth over when Mark Vermeulen was bowled by a faster ball from Kaia for 11. Four runs later came the vital wicket of Vusi Sibanda (13), who miscued a hook and was very well caught by the wicketkeeper Mutumbami running towards long leg. After eight overs the score was only 36 for two, so Rhinos were under some pressure now. In the next over Taylor and Malcolm Waller were dropped off difficult chances off successive balls, and this was to prove crucial.
Waller was soon caught on the boundary and in the 13th over the required rate rose above ten. But then Taylor (including another dropped catch) and Steve Trenchard took 20 off an over from Kaia, and Rhinos were back in business. Taylor reached 50 off 30 balls, but was then caught at the wicket for 54. This left 40 to win off 26 balls. Extras were given away, Graeme Cremer was brilliantly run out by Brian Vitori, and then Trenchard was caught at mid-off after hitting a vital six.
Nine runs were needed off the last nine balls with four wickets left, and then seven off the final over, bowled by Vitori. Simon Mugava hit a four, but was then run out with scores level and two balls to go. The batsmen then scrambled a bye and the match was over.

I don't like to wear really noticeable makeup. And I have olive skin so when looking for lip glosses I have tended to try the beiges and stay away from the pinks. So I was a little nervous when I decided to try the barely nude which is really pink in tone.
Well, I love it. The color is fabulous, even with my olive skin. I like that it is not as thick as other glosses I have tried (the ones you can't get off of your teeth and that your hair keeps sticking to your lips!) but I do wish it had a little more staying power.
That said, this has become my go-to gloss for both days where I prefer to look like I am not wearing any makeup, but also for evenings.

Today was such an exciting day, it was finally the day we got to see the cute little Peekapoo puppy we had been wanting. As we pulled into the driveway I was anxious, we had been running a little late and got lost on top of that, but we made it. We were greeted by the cutest little dogs and puppies. We were first shown the little girl peekapoo, but I just knew that you were the ONE. When your Daddy put you in my arms, I was just so happy...You just nestled in my arms and didn't move an inch :) We didn't know that we were able to take him home yet, but when I was asked what I thought, I KNEW I wanted him. She got the paperwork ready and he was all ours. As we got into the car, another little guy thought that he'd jump into the car too...He was all wet and it took a little coaxing to get him out, but then we were on our way...Unfortunately for Bentley he got carsick. I thought that he was crying, but he was actually drooling...and then...he threw up. Poor little baby! He was just so miserable and threw up again. Finally we got home and he just laid on the floor looking at us with those little eyes...After he felt a little better, we held him and cuddled him...He seems a little sad to be away from his Momma & friends...but now he's home with us and we plan on giving him soooo much love now that he's a part of our family.

Times are changin'
Brainerd, what to do with it, how to revitalize the downtown.
First, stop listening to the fools who brought us here, the city council.
Second, sell it. Business tombstones saying Close Converse show it is for sale.
Brainerd has never been a tourist town. Rail and timber are not tourist attractions, though the history of them can be. Brainerd needs to become a tourist destination. Re-invent Brainerd is what needs to be done. Downtown was spiffed up under the assumption, 'if we build it, they will come.' What you build is a discerning factor in this.
The days of quaint shops in downtown thriving and customers flocking to them are in the past. It is the past we need to build on, our rich history.
Branson Missouri had nothing to attract tourists, now it is a destination for them.
Sell downtown to developers and investors that will revamp it into an entertainment area. Events all summer set in the 20's and founding days. The apartments above turned to high end week or weekend rentals for tourists. Lay some track and put a steam locomotive on it touring the area. Bring Paul into downtown, an amusement park to rival Valley Fair. Uff-Da days, Scandinavian history events, re-enactments of Baby Face Nelson and the days of prohibition. Local police in the uniform of the day. Shops like Nisswa only to our new theme, restaurants and bars themed the same. Steam events with old tractors, model A's and T's, stagecoaches and such. Our own version of the French Quarter and Branson.
Drastic times call for drastic measures. If you're going to do something, do it big, else the section 8 housing and slum Brainerd has become will grow.

Aug 27, 2010 at 4:56 am #1262686
Would anyone be interested in converting one of my down sleeping bags into a top quilt? I have either a mountain hardwear phantom 32 full zip bag or a sierra designs wicked light 45 down bag that is semi-rectangular. Not sure if you can convert the MH bag because its a mummy bag.
I do make my own silnylon tarps and shelters but have not done anything with a sleeping bag or down. So I don't want to ruin it. Let me know if you're interested and how much you want. Thanks!

@marshlaw303Locale: Minnesota
I have done it a lot and can tell you it isn't hard. There is a MYOG article by Jay Ham about doing exactly this. I wish i could do it for you but that isn't possible.
If the bag is full zip it is really easy. As long as you don't expect it to look 100% perfect when it is done (wouldn't if i did it either)you can follow the article to make a very usable quilt.
Simplified instructions.
run a line of stitching along the zipper all the way done and back up the other side. This will hold in the down so you can cut out the zipper. After zipper is removed you just hem the edges.
Once the sides are done you just draw the line you want at the top and run a line of stitching on both sides of it so you can cut the hood off and all the down will stay put. Some down will come out as it gets stitched in but the main body of down will be trapped.
Just hem, or add a drawcord tube to the top and then go hiking.

@heyyouLocale: Cutting brush off of the Arizona Tr
I have a FREE, old Sierra Designs down mummy bag that you could practice on. It could use a bath. Here is the deal, (1) reimburse me for the postage as soon as you receive it (2) when you are finished with the mods, keep it or give it away here or to a scout. Before you sew on it, shake the bag while holding it vertical to shift the down into the quilt portion. IIRC, holding the bag up to a strong direct light, like the sun, will allow you to see where the down is.

Thanks a lot for that helpful info, Tim. Joe, I send you a PM. That would be great!Sep 1, 2010 at 5:51 am #1642173
I had some other concerns as well. Is the weight savings really worth it? The two down bags I have are both half zip bags. Will they work? Finally, is a 20 degree quilt about the lowest temp you would want in a quilt? It seems anything colder than that you would need a regular bag? I do have an older Kelty 5 degree polyfil bag. Its actually not that heavy. and its a full zip bag, Has a hood though…

This is for a 2002 Elantra GLS but the procedures should be similar for other model years.
My valve cover gasket has started to leak and with 107k miles on the car I figured it didn't hurt to replace it and keep things looking the least filthy as possible.
Tools required:
10 mm deep socket
14 mm deep socket
Socket extension
Mallet and block of wood
Clean shop rags
Clean place to work
Flat bladed screw driver
**Before disconnecting battery, if you have an anti-theft radio make sure you have the code for it!
**Make sure the engine is completely cool before this procedure.
1. Disconnect Battery
2. Remove accelerator cable from the back edge of the valve cover.
3. Loosen the bolts and remove the spark plug cover.
4. Using pliers loosen the hose clamps for the breather hose and PCV hose located on the back side of the valve cover and next to the right accelerator cable mount.
5. Slide both hoses off the outlet stems and let hang.
6. Remove the 4 bolts holding on the top timing belt cover and the cover too.
7. Remove the 13 bolts for the valve cover.
8. Using a sharpie, mark the spark plug wire assignment for each wire and pull out the wires and place them to the side of the engine.
9. Pull off the valve cover. Make sure you've loosened and removed all bolts first. If the valve cover is stuck, take a mallet and a block of wood and hit the sides of the cover to get it loose. It's also a good idea to keep the exposed engine covered if the car is outside while you work on it.
10. With the cover placed on the workbench, carefully remove any debris on the cover mating surface. Be absolutely sure not to scratch the metal surface and not get any debris into the engine. When the debris has been cleaned off, wipe the surface down with acetone so it's oil free. The reason is because any residue could cause an improper seal and oil leak. In the picture note the residue on the mating surface after I removed the cover. I cleaned it all the way around not just where the lines are. Also clean the mating surface of the cover itself once the gasket has been removed. I'm not sure if acetone on the plastic cover is safe since some plastics are reactive to acetone.
11. There are several items to replace on the valve cover. The gasket runs along the outside and all the way around. There are also 4 seals. You can also see the PCV valve and breather outlet more clearly. The PCV valve will also be replaced.
12. To remove the spark plug seals, take a flat bladed screw driver and mallet and place the valve cover on your work surface, on a cloth and tap out each one by placing the driver blade along the edge marked here. There is a metal band inside each seal so they cannot be pulled out.
13. Pull out the cover gasket and replace with the new one.
14. Remove the sponge from around the PCV valve.
15. Using a 14mm deep socket, remove the PCV valve and replace with the new one. Put the sponge back over the new valve.
**NOTE** My PCV valve has never been replaced with 107k miles on the car. It may not have needed it yet but it's a $5 part and since the cover was going to be off it was one of those things I thought is just common sense to do.
16. Place the rebuilt valve cover over the engine and reassemble in the opposite order everything was removed. When tightening the valve cover bolts, start in the middle of the cover and loosen gradually in a cross-cross pattern outward. Tightening torque is between 72 - 84 inch-pounds or 6 - 7 ft.-lb.

Im looking for a header for my 98 12 valve vr6 that actually makes power, what are yours guys opinions, i like the raceland vr6 header but not sure need your guys opinons
Im looking for a header for my 98 12 valve vr6 that actually makes power, what are yours guys opinions, i like the raceland vr6 header but not sure need your guys opinons
estyles makes one for a little more than a grand...so far pretty much the only header to make proven gains.
if you want power youre better off porting your stock one out a little bit. THeres a thread in here somewhere that exlplains it a little better
Instagram: Kevin_Brennan_Jr
Headers would be the last thing I would do for power... there is a thread about how to make power.. search for it
"Public transportation......because you're poor"
done everything that's cheap....broke the most expensive parts....
having cooling problems? check this out http://the-corrado.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=68720
I am still waiting for third party proof that the estyles header actually makes power. The graphs the provided as proof were suspect at best. Show me a header for any other car that shifts the entire curve up the same amount like the graph they posted.
As others have said porting your stock manifolds is the best bang for the buck solution for most.
10.90@126 World's Quickest Supercharged VR6
11.82@113 First and only All Motor 12v Street Car in the 11' s
The money spent on headers would be more well spent somewhere else in order to build power.
s2 metal works
Interesting to see that everyone hops on the "headers lose HP on a VR6" bandwagon, when I can't seem to find a single post where someone put up dyno results before and after a header swap and lost power. Not to say it hasn't happened, but there's no proof out there to support it.
This is the vortex motto. If more then one person says its true, spread it around like its gospel. Don't worry about hard data, just heresay. Hence why these cars are in the dark age when it comes to non factory performance compared to other manufaturers.
I have a header on my Daily. It is some knockoff, probably OBX, don't really care as it was free. All stainless construction, VERY good welds and finish. The "ball and socket" style collector it has is garbage though. Cutt it off and weld on a proper flex joint and it is a very good deal for the money.
It is on a VERY mild build: cams, C2 cam chip, 2.5 inch back with only a resonator, intake, ported manifold and tb. It pulls very hard, but nothing amazing. Definitely feels MUCH more powerful then comparative VR's I've driven. Pulls cleanly to 7200, no "brick wall" like the stock VR's, definitely making peak power well before 7200 still though. They also increased the exhaust note considerably, but also made it more "tinny"
Will be dynoing in the spring, just for entertainment. I have a set of ported stockers as well, but noway it would be worth it for me to swap them around. I can say, they definitely wouldn't be that high on my list of priorities on a mild VR though.

Yep, I know what you're saying.
I've personally seen 2 all-motor bolt-on 12V VR's making over 200whp, and neither of them were using the stock exhaust manifold.
I'm one of 'those people' that has tested different headers personally, or knew other racers that tested them and was privvy to the results. I have posted this several times but it's probably lost in the noise here...
My Mk2 VR6 - 2.9L/BVH/276s
Genie Header - consistent 13.6 car
Stock/Ported manifolds - consistent 13.4 car
Joe's euro 2.9/race shop head/268s
Brospeed vs same stock/ported as I used
dont' remember times but no et change at all
Dowd's Mk3 race car, still on stock intake manifold
Brospeed vs stock/ported
dont' remember times but no et change at all
Billy's car stock 2.8/race shop head/268s
Supersprint vs stock/ported
dont' remember times but no et change at all
We didn't dyno a lot then as track was easier/quicker to do but the cars were dead consistent at the track .. we were all racing/testing a TON.
I do remember Turn2 had a $$ header in development that made a few hp on one car but it was too much to bother making more of.
I think Evan had a good shot with his header, just needs more testing and optimization.
I don't see any of the ebay knockoffs of the nicer headers doing any more then nothing, if not worse. I ported an ebay header and had almost 5 hrs into it just making it not suck.

Entirely too many variables at a drag strip to assume that because an old version of one company's header may have contributed to a marginally slower ET, that every set of headers available for a 12V VR6 decreases horsepower. Some people decide their religion on a more slippery slope than this, but I'm a bit of a skeptic and I like facts.

Here is the thing, I have nothing to gain from posting this, I'm not pushing a product and back then I needed a header to actually perform and do something. To this day I would welcome a header that actually makes a car quicker and proven to make power.
Both Mthis1 and Drader here on the Vortex ran on the dyno, one with Brospeed the other w/ a SS, and they saw an average gain in the area of 5-7 whp (don't quote me on that number). Their results were achieved with cams, exhaust, no head work (I think), and both cars had catalytic converters in place (we all used race pipes). These results both came from the same dyno, one that was tagged as being customer friendly, and there were months between the runs, not done back to back. So, after all of that I could never put much faith in those results.
Matter of fact, like Billy noted, people who take dynos for gospel are often mislead as well. Still, more often than not, it seems the headers either "don't do much of anything" or "add a little power but perhaps not enough to warrant the time or trouble".
That's quite a bit different than "They will make you lose power." Just trying to debunk the "bandwagon" mentality that's all to prevalent on web forums.
Quite a bit of generalizing drivers huh? Believe me the cars/drivers above had enough passes to have good results.
If you don't trust results, buy em all up and do some testing. I can tell you what the Genie/Supersprint/Brospeed and their ebay copies will show...
The only header I'd even bother to run is one I design myself to actually work.

Now, people have seen that as being a 'know it all' over the years when the reality was just me being upfront, stating actual facts with results. You get backlash from those who just don't want to hear about it for one reason or another. Usually, it is from those who paid out $600-$1000 for something that does pretty much nothing aside from weighing 12 lbs. less. Sure, it's going to burn and chap some asses, but guess what? It burned me too, bad (I lost a race because of this!!!) and I think that fact gets lost in the wash.
Just for the hell of it, here is a recent topic with some track results from years ago...
Let's look at the variables that did change during that event:
- 93 lbs. weight removed between runs 2 and 3
- The track was re-sprayed between runs 3 and 4 (1st round eliminations)
- The weather changed for all runs from morning to afternoon
If you take all that into consideration and then look at the actual results there is just no way anyone could claim a lack of consistency; that's just one event too. If someone really wanted to poke holes at some .01 to .04 sec difference, by all means go right ahead, just keep in mind we're not talking about a car with an automatic transmission, stall converter, air shifter and a multi-stage throttle stop.
None of the above is arrogance either so please don't take it that way. I knew this car inside and out, drove the hell out of it, and I honestly don't think anyone here really understood the extent and my approach on things with the car.

With the prices of drag wheels on the upwards of $600+ dollars and if you plan to drag your Mustang for the optimum ET's then a special purpose set of wheels and tires are needed. A cheaper alternative is to use factory aluminum 15"x4" spare wheels with your drag tires. This article is designed to guide you thru the process, to show you what works and what doesn't.
There are two main differences between the 89-90 GT aluminum spares and turbo coupe spares. The turbo coupe spares use T125-70/15 tires, whereas the GT spares are T125-90/15. (NOTE: Only the GT spare on the left in the picture below has the temporary spare tire on it.) This makes the tires much larger on the GT spares vs. the turbo coupe spares. The other difference is the curvature of the rim to clear the front brakes. The turbo coupe spares will not clear the front 11" late model Mustang brake calipers. But we solve that issue latter.
Check out the picture above. The wheel on the left is the 89-90 GT spare, the one on the right is the turbo coupe spare. Look at the center where the wheel mounts to the car. The GT rim dishes in deeper than the turbo coupe wheel. This is how you can tell them apart.
How to Use:
Spacers can be made to make the turbo coupe wheels clear the brakes. Mag wheel lugs were used so I wouldn't have to replace my existing wheel studs.
With the drawings above a machinist should be able to fabricate the wheel spacers that are needed. The lugs are common off the shelf items at any auto parts store (same lugs as used on Centerlines). The only other operation needed is to open the holes in the aluminum spare wheels to 23/32" also. I did this on my drill press at home, line up on the existing holes provided by Ford.
On the front go with a P165-70/15 radial. I bought mine from Wells Performance in Florida for about $100, this included shipping all the way to Louisville. On the back use a 26"x9" drag radial. I use Mickey Thompson Sportsman G60x15 because I was able to get them for free used. By using DOT tires both front and rear you can drive the car to and from the strip.
When the above rims and tires are mated with a set of centerline rear wheels then the combination doesn't look too bad. If you really want to be cheap go with a set of 10 holes and the above tires.
The Bottom Line:
I have about $300 invested in my whole setup. In the process I lost about ____ lbs. over my typical daily driver wheel / tire combo and my car went from running a best of 9.13 in the 1/8th to 8.73 seconds. My 60-foot times went from 2.12 to 1.97 seconds. I can now leave the line @ 2,200 rpm instead of feathering the throttle as before. If I was running true slicks then I could launch even harder and my times would even drop more. If you are a beginning racer out there then note that slicks are one of the best investments you can make. Slicks will drastically lower your ETs and make the car easier to drive at the strip.

Application of Interference Methods 59
thousandth of a millimeter has been introduced, and project- ing the interference fringes upon the. screen, it will be noted that while ten or twelve of these fringes move past the fiducial line the spot of light will move over a corresponding dis- tance on the scale. In moving through ten fringes the spot of light moves through six of the divisions, and therefore the length of one wave would be six-tenths of a micron, which is very nearly the wave length of yellow light. If the light passes through a piece of red glass, and the experiment is repeated, the wave length will be greater; it is nearly sixty-seven hundredths. It is easy to see how the process may be extended so as to obtain very accurate measurements of the length of the light wave.
1. A comparison between the corpuscular and the undula- tory theories of light shows that the speed of light in a medium like water must be greater than in air according to the former, and less according to the latter. In spite of the inconceivable swiftness with which light is propagated, it has been possible to prove experimentally that the speed is less in water than in air, and thus the corpuscular theory is proved erroneous.
2. A number of applications of the interferometer are considered, namely, (a) the measurement of the index of refraction ; (6) the coefficient of expansion ; (c) the coefficient of elasticity; (d) the thickness of the "black spot;" (e) the application to the balance; (/) the testing of precision screws; (<j) the measurement of the length of light waves.

Kai Ryssdal: So here's another item from the jobs report worth mentioning. The number of long-term unemployed stayed the same last month. About six million people have been out of work for at least 27 weeks.
One thing you hear a lot is that there are jobs out there, but the people for applying 'em don't have the right qualifications. Commentator Betsey Stevenson says that just obscures the real issue.
Betsey Stevenson: As high unemployment lingers, many have been asking whether the unemployed have the right skills for the jobs that are available. After all, there are three million unfilled jobs.
In reality, jobs are like a highly competitive game of musical chairs, with both the unemployed who want a job and the employed who want to change jobs competing to get the available chairs. That means that there are 14 million unemployed and millions more employed competing for the three million chairs that are currently available. That's a very crowded game.
During good times, we typically have two unemployed workers per job vacancy. Today, there are four or five.
Yet many business leaders have complained that they are having a hard time finding qualified workers. But ask them to prioritize, and you'll find that they're far more concerned about finding customers than finding workers. Even among those making the claims, hard-to-find doesn't mean impossible to find. Some positions require someone who is just right for the job, and that means searching hard to find that person.
If firms really were desperate to find skilled workers, then those folks with more skills would find work easily. But older workers are having the hardest time finding jobs, and they have accumulated a career's worth of skills. When age, not education, explains how long it takes to get a job, we know that firms care more about cost than skill.
The recession swept through our nation, eliminating millions of jobs and leaving uprooted workers in its place. It was time and place, not skill, that determined who got hit. We need to create jobs for these folks to make our economy great again. But let's begin by congratulating them on their courage as they battle daily to find work instead of using this so-called "skills" argument. Not so long ago, these folks were integral parts of our economy and they still are.
Ryssdal: Today was Betsey Stevenson's last day as the chief economist at the Department of Labor. She's on her way to Princeton as a visiting professor. Got a comment? Send it in.

Gothic 3 - The Beginning Announced for Mobiles
View Single Post
July 24th, 2007, 02:18
There are several seemingly Java-based adventures - I mean real role-playing games - for the "Das Schwarze Auge" (The Dark Eye, TDE) system out there - a few even translated.
What made the fans of this system quite angry was that at the height of the "Year of the Fire" campaign some of these adventures were ONLY available for mobile phones ! Nothing else ! Not even P&P !
So … things can be different.
What disturbs me is the overal philosophy of shattering a brand acroiss several platforms. LucasArts for example is I'd say infamous for shattrering the Star Wars brand across the PS/P2/PSP/XBOX/PC/Gamecude/Dreamcast/Gameboy/Gameboy Advanced etc. with
Of course you can always say "you don'tr need to buy them all", but a real fan might really feel forced to buy another system/platform just to be able to play everything that has the label "Star Wars" on it … And LucasArts just don't care. They do so as if this highly special exclusive game will still be available in 10 years and if not who cares ? It's just money …
They just don't realize that trying to keep fans of a brand connected to that brand might mean that this brand shouldn't be shattered across too many platforms.
If they would realize this, they just wouldn't do it.
Or on the other hand they just do shatter the brand across several platforms
having this "brand-connection" in mind, who knows ?
I once played Drakan : Order of the Flame. I was quite surprised as I found out that there had been a precessor of which I never knew.
First, they erect a strong brand pon the PC,
they try to transport it entirely to the PS or PS2 by developing exclusively for this system … To me it is as if I was developing Micromachines, get a huge success, and then I decide to develop it exclusively for the Dreamcast, to put things rather extremely.
RTS and FPS games are not so much shattered, by the way. Most of them stick to ONE console or the PC.

Current City
Samantha Lane lives by her Outlook calendar.
That's because her days are packed to the brim. She's spearheading a new division at Stryker Performance Solutions, a major biomedical device corporation. She volunteers her time on a young professionals board at Clearbrook, a Chicago-based organization dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities. She sits on the University of Iowa Alumni Board of Directors.
She does take off to Cozumel, Mexico every long weekend and holiday she can. Those trips are hardly vacations, though; they're an opportunity to grow her very own charter fishing and scuba-diving company, a business she launched in 2011.
Though her resume is chock-full of prestigious accomplishments, she said one of her proudest achievements was graduating from the University of Iowa.
"My top achievement is that I completed my engineering degree," Lane said. "My second achievement is that I completed a marathon."
Yes, she also runs marathons.
A competitive edge and a drive to succeed isn't anything new for Lane. She was very involved with writing opportunities, engineering activities and honors extracurriculars in both high school and as an undergrad at Iowa.
Before graduating, Lane completed a seven-month co-op at the Cleveland Clinic in the Biomechanics and Orthopedics Research Laboratory in conjunction with the NASA Glenn Research Facility. Two weeks after she graduated in 2005, Lane packed up to start her new job as an engineer with Stryker's orthopedic division.
A couple of years into her career, Lane knew she wanted to earn her masters in business administration. Representatives from the UI Tippie College of Business contacted Lane about going to a recruitment dinner in New York, not far from where she lived. She said she walked into the Bobby Flay restaurant hoping to score a free meal, and walked out with a full scholarship to attend business school full-time back at Iowa.
During business school, Kraft Foods recruited Lane for its finance division. Lane said the transition from engineering to business was natural because she knew how to find solutions.
About the time Lane was looking to make another move in July 2012, Stryker was starting up a new division in Chicago. They needed someone with both management and orthopedic engineering experience. Lane fit the bill, and has been growing the contracts department ever since.
"The thing that I like about Stryker is that no day is typical. I came back because Stryker keeps things exciting," she said.
Lane plans to keep climbing the corporate ladder, and she attributes much of her success thus far to her UI undergraduate biomedical engineering degree.
"Engineering is tough, but there's a reason it's tough. If everybody could do it, they would. There's nothing you can't do with an engineering degree," Lane said. "All of the opportunities I've had have come out of my degree."

I do.
I learned how to make it from scratch at school and it's pretty satisfying, but life's too short and ready-made is pretty good quality. So if you have the time, make your own, otherwise make these Spicy 3 Bean Sausage Rolls with shop bought pastry.
Did I mention they are vegan too? So everyone is happy and we love them, but hey it's puff pastry. What's not to love?
I gave the beans and spices a few pulses (pulses haha!) in my Optimum 9400 blender, but you could just mash them in a bowl. Do leave some whole beans, it's good for the texture.
Now the spices, I didn't make them overly spicy as Cooper was eating them, but feel free to increase the amount of spice you use.
I do hope you give these a try.
As you can see I served them nursery style with chips and peas.
The chips were healthier than usual as I cooked them in another new toy, my Philips Air Fryer from Tesco Direct. I still can't get over the fact it only takes ½ tbsp of oil to cook enough chips for 4 people. Isn't technology great?
And of course we all had a dollop of ketchup on the side. Shhhhhhh! don't tell anyone!
- 1 block Jus-Rol Puff Pastry (suitable for vegans)
- 400g black beans
- 400g canellini beans
- 400g kidney beans
- 4 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp onion granules/powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1-2 tsp chilli powder
- 5 tbsp porridge oats
- a good grinding of salt and black pepper
Yield: Makes 8 Sausage Rolls

During the summer of 2010, New York adopted the New York P-12 Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics. Starting in the 2012-2013 school year all New York school districts were required to implement these Common Core Standards in grades K-8.
For all grades, K-5, our district instruction is primarily supported by TERC: Investigations in Number, Data, and Space (K-5). Investigations is a research-based program that emphasizes critical thinking, reasoning and communication. The program develops in-depth number sense before introducing the traditional methods or "short cuts." With this approach, students are more able to make connections in later grades with more complex problems and topics, such as algebra.

Government identified but failed to adequately manage partnership risks in Deh Cho Bridge project
Yellowknife, 1 March 2011-While the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Department of Transportation identified key risks associated with building the Deh Cho Bridge using a public-private partnership, they did not manage them adequately, says Sheila Fraser, the Auditor General of Canada, in her Report delivered today to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. As a result, the project has seen delays and cost increases.
"The Deh Cho Bridge is the largest public infrastructure project ever undertaken in the Northwest Territories," said Ms. Fraser. "While it was initially presented as a $55 million project, the Government now says it will cost $182 million."
The audit found that the agreement between the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) and the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation was not actually a public-private partnership as it was called, because the GNWT assumed all the major project risks. The risks to schedule and cost significantly increased when the GNWT waived approval of the bridge design so construction could start, despite the Department's concerns about the design. Unresolved design issues caused cost increases and project delays.
The Department of Transportation took over the project when the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation was declared in default of a $165-million Government-guaranteed loan. The audit found that the Department has put a framework in place to manage the key risks. However, some of the risk mitigation measures are too general to be useful. While quality assurance and quality control have improved, risks remain in the areas of the project's schedule, scope, and cost.
"The Department needs to assure the Legislative Assembly and the public that it has measures in place to manage the risks that remain," said Ms. Fraser.

New Zealand brand Zambesi returned to Australian Fashion Week on Friday after a two-year hiatus, with a stripped back collection that played to the fashion house's strengths.
Each Zambesi collection is a continuation of those past, but this was the most elegant it has been for some time. Opening with six all-white outfits, the show notes talked about the collection's minimalism and pragmatic clean lines - the simplest white sheer shell dress worn over a black lace shift and white nylon boiler suit embodied that concept - but there were other ideas running through the range too. Like lightness, with sheer taffeta and silk chiffon, swingy silhouettes and great oversized blazers, and the faintest 1990s feel: a green plaid print, models with dark lip liner care of M.A.C. make up artist Amber D, and INXS blasting from the speakers.
Every season or so Zambesi refreshingly pushes their unique take on sexiness, and it was so in Sydney with the simplest black floor-length gown with keyhole cut out at the bust, and legs galore with thigh-length shorts and wrap dresses. A glamorous blush-coloured floor-length shift adorned with oversized tassels - an update of the tassel apron in the winter collection and a frequent Zambesi motif - was a highlight.
But the heart and soul of Zambesi is the fabric, which frequently forms the basis of their collections: this season the selection was as diverse, and at times unexpected - stretch denim? - as ever, with taffeta, metallic Lurex, lightweight nylon and an exclusive green plaid.
Despite quietly closing their Sydney boutique last year, there was a buzz about Zambesi's return to the Australian runway. The final show of the week, front row were top blogger Susie Bubble, street style star Candice Lake, photographer Tommy Ton and the Vogue Australia fashion team - who came backstage after the show to congratulate designers Liz Findlay and Dayne Johnston, and to borrow the white boilersuit straight off the runway.

Different strokes... John C Reilly and Mary Kate Schellhardt
It's official. John C Reilly is a nice guy. An actress from my writing group is working as an extra on his latest film, a comedy called Walk Hard, which spoofs recent musical biopics such as Ray and Walk the Line. Reilly plays the fictional 1950s singer Dewey Cox, who overcomes the typical obstacles of the sub-genre to become a showbiz legend.
According to my friend's on-set experience, John C is courteous, intelligent and an all-round good guy. She's playing a groupie but because of the way the actor's union works, she's only getting scale as the producers have hired two other actresses to say the same lines. This loophole means her part is non-exclusive. Sneaky.
But she is getting "bumps", which means if filming goes over eight hours she gets time and a half, or double time if it runs over ten. And because she's spending long spells in wardrobe and is working on a set with smoke machines, she gets more again. Fascinating stuff, Hollywood economics.
The mention of John C Reilly, who has recently graduated to regular lead roles after years as a scene-stealing supporting actor, sparked a furious debate as to what his best role has been. Films such as Magnolia, What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Boogie Nights were amongst the group's favourites. I thought he was particularly excellent in The Good Girl, as Jennifer Aniston's beer-swilling, trailer trash husband and again as the crestfallen Amos Hart in Chicago.
Julia, our writing group leader - and in fact, the one who gave Gilbert Grape her vote - also revealed that she was waited on at a diner in west Hollywood by the actress who played Gilbert's sister Ellen, Mary Kate Schellhardt. While the careers of Reilly, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and director Lasse Hallstrom have all blossomed, Mary Kate's serving up short stacks and coffee. Them's the breaks in this town.
Mary Kate told Julia that she took a few years off to go back to college and is only just beginning to get acting jobs again. She seemed somewhat despondent but wasn't about to give up. Like I've said, you've really got to want to make it in this town because it's tough, even for those who know the ropes.
I'm very much the new girl here but scarily, it's 20 years ago this week that I graduated journalism college. If you'd have told me that two decades on I'd be living in California trying to crowbar my way into the film industry, I'd have slapped you over the head with my brown leather Filofax.
It's odd starting over again. I should really be married with kids by now. Instead I'm living in rented accommodation and nicking stuff out of bins. But that's OK here, because Californians like to recycle things.
Perfectly good items are left in front yards or on pavements for people to take away. They don't even try to sell them. That's what happens when you live in a town where everybody is either rich, mad or both.
So as a wannabe scriptwriter I'm embracing this pay it forward mentality. I scooped up a perfectly good pair of rollerblades that had been dumped in the street a few days ago. I now intend to join the hordes of 'bladers along the beach. On the other hand, seeing as it's ten years since I skated, I may only make it as far as my doorstep.
Whatever, I salute the Californian recycling ethic. Mary Kate would probably agree with me on that one too.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. - The Monmouth University baseball team scored five runs in the first and fifth inning, respectively, to give starter Dan Smith (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee) all the run support he needed for his fifth win of the season as the Hawks' defeated Central Connecticut State, 11-3, in the series finale, Sunday afternoon. Smith yielded three runs on 10 hits with five strikeouts in 8.0 innings of work, while Chris Perret (Morris Plains, N.J./Morris Catholic) drove in a career-best four runs for the Blue and White.
With the win, the Hawks improve to 22-14 (11-5 NEC), while the Blue Devils fall to 18-16 (11-9 NEC).
The first seven batters that Monmouth sent up to bat in the top of the first inning reached base which led to the first five runs of the contest. Ed Martin (Hazlet, N.J./Raritan [Brookdale CC]) continued his strong weekend at the plate with a single to kick-off the game. Jamie Rosenkranz (Oakhurst, N.J./Ocean Township) moved Martin to second on his base hit through the right side and Jake Gronsky (Danville, Pa./Danville Area) chipped in a single, chasing in Martin for the first run of the game. Danny Avella (Matawan, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) followed with a base knock to load the bases and a wild pitch allowed Rosenkranz to score and Gronsky and Avella to settle on third and second, respectively. Perret's infield single plated Gronsky and after Owen Stewart (Howell, N.J./St. Rose) walked, Jon Guida (Martinsville, N.J./Bridgewater Raritan) connected on a two-run single up the middle to give the Blue and White an early 5-0 lead.
Kyle Perry (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South) singled and stole second base to start the Hawks in the fourth. After Rosenkranz and Avella both walked to load the bases, Perret connected on a bases-clearing double to the right center field gap. Following a pitching change by the Blue Devils, Stewart was tagged with a pitch and Guida followed with a double, plating Perret with ease, while a throwing error enabled Stewart to touch home plate and give the Blue and White a commanding 10-0 advantage.
Gronsky's RBI double in the fifth which scored Perry, who walked to lead off the inning, increased the Hawks' lead to 11-0.
Central tallied a run in the fifth, sixth and eighth inning, but could not get any closer than 11-3.
Neil Harm (Hamilton, N.J./Steinert) threw a one-hit ninth out of the Hawks' bullpen.
Guida chased in the runs for the Blue and White and Gronsky chipped in two RBIs on his two hits.
Monmouth returns to West Long Branch for a non-conference tilt at 3:30 with Rutgers on Tuesday, April 17th.

"Not good"
Horrible audio book. So short and all over the place. Small excerpts. A rip off.
"Good but short"

My fault for not realizing how short it was and was a little disappointed I paid so much for an abbreviated book. I digest so much more when these points are in context of a longer story. Lot of little gems come from longer stories. I will re-listen to this again to try to absorb the points.

text: Hello, I've been charged with developing a signature block and setting email formatting standards for our corporate communication via Outlook. We have lots of opinions internally about what fonts etc we should use, but I'm wondering if any de facto standards have developed through the years that I can use as rationale for decisions. We're on Outlook 2003 and plan to stay here for the indefinite future. Our concerns are for our personal/corporate correspondence via Outlook to be professional and consistent and to keep the "storage" requirement low, and look good to any recipient independent of their email program. We've decided not to use an image of our logo in the signature block because that may come across, annoyingly, as an attachment to some users. Correct? (Plus the logo would add to the size of the file.) Using the default white background for emails, rather than wood-grain or fluffy clouds, is a no-brainer. What about the font? Our corporate logo is based on Garamond so some of us use Garamond as our default Outlook font. Is a sans serif font like Arial for emails preferred? If so, is there a technical reason? Final question--should the font of email body and the signature block match? If email body is Arial, should sig block be the same? If sig block is Garamond, should email body be the same? Thanks so much--even "informed opinions" will be much better than uninformed preferences--am finding it hard to make decisions on that basis. Karen P

Devils at Bruins preview, 11/15/10
|11.15.10 at 5:14 pm ET
Martin Brodeur did not participate in the Devils' optional morning skate on Monday, but he is expected to get the start in net on Monday night when the Devils take on the Bruins. Tim Thomas was first off the ice in the Bruins' morning skate, making a Brodeur-Thomas matchup likely. Thomas and the Bruins beat the Devils, 4-1, on Oct. 16 in New Jersey.
– The Bruins are 2-4-1 in home games, and 2-3-1 at the Garden. They've scored just two goals over their last three home games, a span in which they have gone 0-2-1.
– The Devils are 4-5-0 on the road this season and 2-4-0 in their last six road games.
– Here's one that hasn't been repeated over and over: Shawn Thornton, at three goals this season, has just one less than $100 million man, Ilya Kovalchuk. Beat that dead horse!
– Monday night will be Claude Julien's 499th career game. He's coached the majority of them (260) for the Bruins.
– In three home starts this season, Thomas has allowed three goals: two on Saturday against the Senators, and one in the home opener. He is 2-1-0 at home, including a shutout vs. the Maple Leafs on Oct. 28.
– Expect a bit of line shuffling for the Bruins. The merlot line/energy line/Shawn-Thornton-has-three-goals line was tinkered with, and the tweaked result is now the third line. Michael Ryder replaces Thornton on the right wing, and the third line now appears to be Gregory Campbell between Brad Marchand and Ryder.
The move also allows Tyler Seguin to resume the role of the fourth line center, though Julien said Monday that he's not afraid to use him late in games in which the team needs a goal given his natural ability. Here are what the lines could look like:
Lucic – Bergeron – Horton
Caron – Wheeler – Recchi
Marchand – Campbell – Ryder
Paille – Seguin – Thornton
Chara – Ference
Hunwick – Seidenberg
Stuart – McQuaid
The move, at face value at least, also makes things worse on Seguin given that he and Ryder had a very apparent chemistry on the ice, seemingly always connecting on gutsy passes.
– It is Military Appreciation Night here at the Garden. Both Mark Stuart and Blake Wheeler have purchased $5,000 in tickets to the game, which will be given to troops. It is Stuart's second straight year of buying tickets for the troops.
– Until the Bruins prove capable of winning at home, the attention is going to be on their play at the Garden. Nathan Horton, despite playing one of his best games in a Bruins uniform against St. Louis, hasn't picked up a point in any of the B's last four games at the Garden.

Duo Busted In Maryland Cig Smuggle
Maryland law enforcement officials busted a pair of Far Rockaway men and seven others for their roles in smuggling nearly 15,000 packs of cigarettes into the state over the past several months, according to published reports.
Bernard Cribbs, 58, and Feby Pledger, 45, both of Far Rockaway, were among the nine men, over the course of five unrelated incidents, who were arrested in Prince George's County, Maryland on September 22. They were indicted on charges that they collectively smuggled 14,875 packs of cigarettes, which would have generated $29,750 in tax money for the state of Maryland if purchased there.
"This indictment represents our commitment, along with our law enforcement partners including the comptroller's office, to prosecute a growing financial crime that has deprived Maryland of hundreds of thousands of dollars [in taxes]," State Attorney Angela Alsobrooks said in a statement.
According to published reports, in fiscal year 2011, $1.2 million in contraband cigarettes were seized by local law enforcement officials and more than $600,000 to date in the current fiscal year. Authorities say, the cigarettes were purchased in Virginia, where the state tax is 30 cents for each pack of cigarettes, and officials believe the suspects planned to sell them in states where the tax is much higher, such as here in New York.
Cigarettes in Maryland are still a lot cheaper than New York, but cost slightly more than Virginia. Maryland cur- rently imposes a $2 tax while New York Sate charges $4.35 per pack. New York City local taxes drive the cost even higher.
According to the report, the smuggling incidents occurred in late July and earlier as law enforcement officials from Maryland and Virginia Enforcement observed the suspects making large tobacco purchases in Virginia and placing them in their vehicles. Once suspects crossed into Maryland, police stopped and arrested them.
"It's kind of odd when you pull up at a Virginia store just over the border and put 6,000 or 7,000 packs of cigarettes in the back of your car," Maryland State Comptroller Peter Franchot said in a statement. "We're watching that."
The suspects indicted included Alicia Walker, 34, of Bloomfield, New Jersey, who was charged with transport possession of unstamped cigarettes.
Others indicted with additional charges of transport, possession and conspiracy to transport unstamped cigarettes, include Jose Gilberto Perez, 53, and Eredania Perez-De-Hernandez, 41, of Baltimore, Maryland; Moaze Abdallh Ibrahim, 26, of East Orange, New Jersey; Abdoulaye Akmoudou, 41, of Newark, New Jersey; Felix Cruz and Livinius Agubu, 39, of the Bronx, New York.

So, in case you hadn't guessed, Linda has done all the blog entries since we left. This in part because I'm not attempting it on my phone and at last have access to a library computer and time to use it. It seems there are no library cut-backs in Lithuania!

However they got called away and we realised there was a long limousine outside with a bride and groom getting out. Oops, we had almost interrupted a wedding!

Breakfast Clubs
The Greggs Breakfast Club Programme was established in 1999 to help primary school children get a nutritious start to their school day.
Every school is provided with fresh bread from their nearest Greggs shop, and a grant to support start-up and ongoing costs. The average club costs just £2,000 to set up and run for a year.
The first breakfast club was established in 1999 as part of a Business in the Community 'Seeing is Believing' event. The event was in response to growing concerns that children were attending school without having any breakfast. Greggs plc took up the charge and established the first 'Greggs' breakfast club. Robbie, pictured above, is getting his breakfast at Fell Dyke Primary School, the 100th school to be sponsored by Greggs. Greggs staff volunteer at every school, giving children the opportunity to understand more about working environments and giving staff members the satisfaction of knowing they've made a difference. There are now over 400 breakfast clubs, providing free breakfasts to over 24,916 children every day.
