How Much Octane? - National Dragster
When thinking of octane numbers, most automotive enthusiasts subscribe to "More's Law," which is: "If some's good, more's better." This is frequently the case high-octane race fuel for street legal drag racing cars. So, what is octane, why is it needed, and how can it help a street machine make an occasional great pass?
The engines in many street-legal cars have been modified to improve performance. These modifications, which include after market headers, carb/intake manifold, camshaft, rockers, fuel-injection system, higher compression, and modified cylinder heads with big valves, can lead to increased horsepower as a result of getting a greater amount of the proper air/fuel mixture into the engine. When more of the proper air/fuel mixture is in the combustion chamber, the cylinder pressure is greater than it would be in an unmodified engine. This increased cylinder pressure needs more octane. If the octane number of the gasoline is not high enough, it can result in detonation and destruction of the engine.
Even some unmodified engines may benefit from higher octane gasoline. As under-hood temperatures increase, the engine needs a higher octane gasoline. In a dry climate like much of the Southwest, the lower humidity also contributes to increased demand for octane. On a low-humidity, 100-degree day with the air conditioner on, an engine's octane appetite can increase by three to four numbers.
The benefit to using a 100-octane gasoline in high-performance street engines goes beyond the octane number. The distillation curve of the gasoline defines the temperature at which various amounts of gasoline are evaporated. Gasoline must be in a vapor form to burn, so the more readily it vaporizes (within limits), the better it will work in your engine. This can be a performance benefit in some engines because of the ability of the gasoline to evaporate more readily, contributing to more complete burning, which in turn leads to greater efficiency and power.
What is octane? How can it help my engine? Two laboratory octane numbers determine the overall octane quality of a gasoline. Both numbers are determined in single-cylinder, variable-compression-ratio engines. The first is the research octane number (RON), where operating conditions are mild. This is the number that gas stations in the 1960s put on their advertising signs out in front, numbers that ranged from a little over 100 to as high as 104. If an engine is detonating (pinging) at part throttle, it usually needs more RON.
The second laboratory octane number is also determined in a single-cylinder, variable-compression-ratio engine and is called motor octane number (MON). The MON test is conducted under more severe operating conditions (higher rpm and higher inlet temperature) than the RON test, and as a result, the number is lower. If an engine is detonating at wide-open throttle, a higher MON will usually satisfy it.
The number shown on the black and yellow sticker on the service station gas pump is the average of the RON and MON, or antiknock index (AKI). If the sticker shows an AKI of 92, RON is typically between 96 and 97, and MON is typically between 87 and 88. The RON and MON can vary slightly but still must average a minimum of 92 to have a pump posting of 92. Higher octane unleaded fuels will have a greater difference between RON and MON. For instance, 76 Unleaded Racing Gasoline has a RON of 106 to 107 and a MON of 94 to 95, which gives an AKI of 100 to 102.
Higher octane does not necessarily mean more power. If a racer's engine is detonating on 92 octane gasoline, using a higher-octane quality fuel is definitely a plus. If your engine is detonation-free on 92 octane gasoline, the benefit of using a higher octane product is limited to the distillation characteristics discussed earlier.
The octane requirement of an engine in a vehicle can be measured on a chassis dynamometer with a standard series of reference fuels. Racers are not expected to conduct these tests but must be able to recognize when they need a higher-octane number gasoline. Keep in mind that higher octane does not mean more power unless your engine is experiencing detonation. If racers are not sure if detonation exists, try a higher octane gasoline and see if their speeds and e.t.s. improve. If they do improve, probably the engine was experiencing detonation.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS Many factors significantly increase an engine's octane requirement. 'I'hey include a higher compression ratio, a bigger cylinder bore, leaner mixtures, higher coolant and intake-air temperatures, dry air (low humidity), higher barometric pressures, altitude closer to sea level, and more spark advance. Also, cast-iron heads need more octane than aluminum heads.
WHAT IS DETONATION? The octane number of a gasoline is a measure of its resistance to detonation. Detonation occurs when the octane number is too low for the engine and its operating conditions. When the spark plug fires, the flame moves through the air/fuel mixture, burning it very rapidly. Detonation occurs if a portion of the unburned air/fuel mixture gets raised to a temperature and pressure it cannot tolerate and ignites before the flame front gets to it. Detonation causes the maximum pressure in the combustion chamber to be reached before the piston reaches top dead center and pushes down the piston before it has reaches the top of its travel. Much of the gasoline's energy is wasted in trying to move the piston up while the high-pressure gasses are trying to push it down. The extreme temperature and pressure developed can cause broken rings, rod-bearing damage, piston overheating, and erosion of the aluminum. Pistons sometimes end up with holes in their tops from the high temperatures and high pressures.
In the late 1970s, the automakers began using knock sensors on engines. When the knock sensor senses detonation, it sends a signal to the main computer, which retards the spark timing until detonation ceases. By the early- to mid-1990s, knock-sensor systems were becoming much more sophisticated and could be found on about 50 percent of all new cars and trucks. The number increases slightly each year. The best thing about a knock-sensor system is its ability to reduce or eliminate engine damage due to detonation. It can, however, cause spark-timing retard, which reduces horsepower and fuel economy. Still, the trade-off can save lots of money and is a good compromise. Detonation normally occurs in one or sometimes two cylinders unless a serious fuel-starvation problem exists. Most engine-management systems reduce the spark timing in all cylinders, although some reduce the timing in only the cylinder that is detonating. Using a gasoline high enough in octane to satisfy the engine under all types of conditions will ensure maximum performance from all cylinders.
In the 1960s, all gasoline contained tetraethyl lead, which was an easy way to increase the octane number. The lead oxide from the burned tetraethyl lead left a coating on the exhaust valve seat that provided protection from wear. If racers are using an older engine that does not have hardened exhaust valve seats, they should use an after market lead substitute. If they are getting ready to do a valve job on that 1960s car, they should have hardened seats installed so they don't have to mess with additives.
Using leaded racing gasoline on the street is illegal. The user and the seller can both be fined up to $10,000 each.

I see. OK.
But there is still something that concerns me. Lets say most of the contestants are happy to be in the comp and are sitting back and biting their nails to see the outcome. But a few people are actively rorting the comp by vote mining/facebook hoaring () or whatever. So at the end of the day you end up with the five highest voted projects. Some of these are the rorted projects, pushing out legitimate projects. So if you only consider the top five..................you see what I'm saying.
I never realised it was this bad. I didn't think modders would try to rig a comp with their peers.
Sheesh, I didn't even ask my mum and dad to vote. Silly naive me.

But we'll have to think on about next year - maybe just have the voting in the forum instead like MOTM. Half the problem is that it's so easy to vote. At least in the forum it's limited to an extent. The main issue for me is the ability we gave to just vote for one project. Much of the spamming came from people just voting for one particular project, clearly not even looking at the article... The poll page alone had clearly been sent out and people were simply clicking for their friend and that's it. Now they're entitled to do this of course but an excessive number of people did so, and all for the same projects. It's not against the rules but is still disappointing, unsporting and just p***ed me off if I'm honest given how much time and effort I put into the competition.

Attila, you would be suprised to see how some people react when there is internet fame and money on the podium. For many, winning something like this is all about marketing and they will continue to spam "PLEAAAAAASSEEEEEEE vote for meeeeeh" messages out.
It is alright posting on your facebook "Ohh look I have been nominated for MOTY" But to copy paste post directly asking for votes on ONLY your project is in my eyes pathetic and only shows that persons know they cant win fair and square.
I asked my girlfriend to vote on the projects she liked. One of her choices was Acronym because "Its so pretty! It looks like a perfect set of metal boobs!"
It is, as my old man always says:
You never really know people until there is money involved.

Some will win, others will lose. That's how competition are. Whoever wins will deserve it, that's why Bit-tech made some adjustments when they saw the amount of what you call "spam" votes. Please accept and respect the changes they made. Don't take it as a threat.
I myself had asked my friends to vote because isn't that the purpose of it? Now if they chose to vote me or not, it's fine. That how contest like this are. We can win and we can also lose. As long as we don't violate the rules. We have different views in voting, it just so happened that here we really love supporting our friends and families.
That's why we only build/mod PC for ourselves. Because building for others and expecting that they will like it will only give you disappointments if they didn't liked it in the end.
Nominees this year is really good. They are so good that you want them to all win and they are really considered winners. That's why we as the creator of the project will do anything legal just to present our work in the best way that we can.
Congratulations to all the nominees, to bit-tech for trying all your best to bring this contest and for the champion for 2013, a big big CONGRATULATIONS to you! You surely will deserve it.

I did the same thing though, linked it on my facebook. I think only a few (3? 4?) of my friends voted, but I never told them to vote just for me, and specifically directed them to vote for 5 that they think deserved it. To me, it was more about bringing awareness to the community of people that we have here that put a lot of their time, effort, and heart into something that goes unnoticed by so many.
P.S. p0Pe...she's a keeper .

there is a big difference in just telling people you are nominated, and asking them to go watch the nomination page and taking their pick of the best and just spamming out messages asking people to vote for you with only THE FRIGGIN POLL linked.
I like your mods, and think you do crazy god work. But I basically lost every bit of respect I had for you when I saw that.
Oh, and cheaps, dont feel sad.Asked one of my best friends to vote for the ones he liked the most. He picked 5 and M8 was none of them

I understand what you are trying to say. and I dearly apologize If I offended anyone of you by asking votes and by linking the friggin poll. Don't worry, I'll ask Antony Leather to remove me from the nominees. Besides, what's the purpose of me being here if you don't even want me here.
I just thought that anyone from the nominees can win, despite the fact that one of them is a 2 time champion. Public gives the other nominees hope that they have a chance to win, not just because someone is already too good to win again. If you guys don't want to let others win. Then why nominate them? If you are disappointed about the voting results, then why picked 10+ projects if you already picked a winner?
I'm sorry if I let you lost you respect to me. I'm am truly sorry. If you feel that way. I really don't have any reason to stay here. Please remove me from the nominees if you think I violated/offended the rules.

The meaning of a voting process is to make the best mods win. Not to give everybody a chance to win by marketing. As I said, I want people to vote for me because they, in this case, think I am amongst the top five best mods in the world. Not because I once bought them a hamburger, or told them they have nice shoes.
Nobody can be too good to win. That would be like telling Michael Schumacher that he can no longer race because he is too good. The absolute elite modders sets the bar for others to break and they should be complimentet and respected for this. A win should be earned, not given or taken.
I am no moderator, and nor do I speak on the behalf of the community as a whole. I simply share my opinions on a very hot and difficult subject. You did not break any rules, but in my opinion it was wrong of you to just link to the poll, not even suggesting people to have a look at the other nominees. I do not know if others did the same, but if they did they now know my stand on the subject.
For the record, I am not writing all this because I think I will be robbed of a podium placement. I can mention the first 10+ mods here that I think is better than my own.

You are right it is earned not given. Racer like michael won not because he just sleep all day and let others pass by him. Like everyone else, we have to do everything to win. We do our very best in modding like what we all did, and it so happens that my countrymen voted for me and decided freely. Dont blame me because you just waited for guys to vote you. We have different views and do things differently like modding. So i dont think i violated any rules. If you dont like promoting your work and dont want them to support you them please dont force me to do the same thing. We are different. But keep in mind that i respect and understand your views. You and all the members of this community have my full respect. Again. Sorry if i have offended you and for annoying you with my post via facebook.

I emailed the MOTY page to family members who wanted to vote, as I assumed everyone else would too, specially if said family members asked you for the link. I think this new way of voting is a good idea however as there are 5 cases going to the judges I believe it should therefore be required to select 5 cases you think are the best 5.

I don't think anyone has committed a capital offense here but just to change the subject......
I don't envy the judges one little bit. I have my favourites, but if I had to rate these projects in an objective way.....Monumental task. Extremely difficult and I'm glad I'm not doing it!

I think it's time to let bygons be bygons as nothing will be achieved by getting hot under the collar. We'll leave a discussion on the subject of voting for another time as 2012 is done and dusted. I'm happy with the way things have eventually turned out and I think you all will be when we announce the winners on Friday.
At the end of the day, everyone deserved to be here and we didn't stipulate any specific rules so as Attila says, no one has committed a capital offense. Well done to all the nominees for an awesome show of skill this year - probably my favorite MOTY since I've been at bit-tech and a huge thanks to everyone who helped, be it with the initial nominations, judging or moral support via MSN and Facebook!

Awwwww, only a few get to say a little of what they think of the BS that was spoiling modding for sooooooooo long, I wanna ramblahahahaaaaa.
Joking I'm a happy modder again, thanks.
A word on respect though.
Respect, you start off as equal & it rises or droops & also rises again, it's flexible unless your dealing with people who don't believe in forgiveness over small things, but you don't take it from people by farce, that's what ahh heads do who usually end up in prison although obviously not in something like this, it just means you don't understand what respect is, respect is a global thing, a universal thing, if you don't understand it properly then I guess you are from another galaxy from far far away like the common cold who drifted to earth from a passing comet to make people feel like crap.
Respect & honor is due to bit-tech yes, definitely but it is also due to your fellow nominees, remember that & everyone will get along, forget that & people won't get along too well unless they are triple A, absolutely amazingly awesome.
And judges you have a steep task there narrowing down to 3, I couldn't do it, was hard enough picking 5.
And cut the hating of others out peeeerleeeeeease, cut it out of everywhere, not just in the open or PM or facebook, modding needs to have a fun, nice & awesome environment to be awesome otherwise too many suffer from having a screw face, can't mod good with a screw face.
Not only that but that's how modding communities crumble & I don't think any of us want that do we.
Big weird group hug with some awkward looking faces.

Dowding, Keith, Goodin, Robert E. and Pateman, Carole, eds. (2004) Justice and democracy: essays for Brian Barry. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK. ISBN 9780521545433
While much has been written about social justice, even more has been written about democracy. Rarely is the relationship between social justice and democracy carefully considered. Does justice require democracy? Will democracy bring justice? This volume brings together leading authors who consider the relationship of democracy and justice. The intrinsic justness of democracy is challenged and the relationship between justice, democracy and the common good examined.

Recently, John Shewchuk and Kim Cameron from Microsoft introduced Microsoft's strategy on identity with a cloud identity service called Windows Azure Active Directory. I included John and Kim's writing in a blog post last week. KuppingerCole published on YouTube the video recording of Kim's presentation at the European Identity and Cloud Conference 2012. In this presentation, Kim goes deeper into how he sees identity must inevitably work. My colleague John Fontana summaries all this in a blog entry and this provokes Kim to respond.
- Kim Cameron: Conflicting Visions of Cloud Identity
[This is the video of the 20 minute presentation Kim gave at EICC 2012, where he lays out his rationale for how cloud identity has to work.]
- John Fontana: Microsoft unveils AD Azure strategy, ID management reset
"The software giant begins talking publicly about Windows Azure Active Directory service and its strategy to use it as the foundation for its Identity Management as a Service strategy."
- Kim Cameron: Is an inevitability a strategy?
"John Fontana of ZDNet has written a pretty high octane report on the blog posts John Shewchuk and I published last week. The article starts with a summary: [See above.] That's an interesting take on things. But is "Identity Management as a Service" actually a strategy? I wonder. In my thinking it is an inevitability. In other words, IDMAAS is the world we will end up in rather than the means of getting there."
[The drawing on the right is by Steamboat, from the Summer, 1974, issue of The CoEvolution Quarterly.]
There were several other items of interest to the identity community this week:
- Your parents pick better passwords than you do
"Computer users over the age of 55 employ passwords that are twice as secure as passwords used by those under 25 years old. A recent study conducted by Joseph Bonneau, a computer scientist at the University of Cambridge, analyzed almost 70 million passwords belonging to Yahoo users around the world."
- FTC Chairman Leibowitz: More Privacy Could Actually Bring Bigger Revenues For Web Giants
"It's not just regulatory agencies who are welcoming of some increased privacy policies on the web, Leibowitz added. Even profit-minded executives have expressed support for "Do Not Track," according to him. "I've heard from chief captains of the tech industry and CEOs that this is a good thing for this industry, because there is a virtuous cycle here," he said. "The more control consumers have over the internet, the more they trust it and the more commerce they do…. this is good for business.""
- Make app privacy as simple as a cereal box, FTC chairman says
"Privacy policies on apps ought to be as simple as a box of cereal, according to Leibowitz, who was speaking about protecting consumers at the 10th annual All Things D conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. "They have to be like a nutrition guide on the side of a cereal box," he said, according to CNET."
- Top Internet Trends for 2012 According to VC Firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers
"Mary Meeker, a partner at venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, has released a great report this morning at the All Things Digital conference. The report outlines some of the hot trends affecting the Internet."
[Her slides are embedded. The section toward the middle has slides with titles starting with "Reimagination of" which contain the names of all the coolest apps and sites.]
- Brad Tumy: To Federate or not to Federate
"While discussing this with another engineer on the project he mentioned that this really opened the door for tightly integrating with a lot of their existing partners. I said that while this is great I would prefer to federate with these partners and not have to deal with managing the extra infrastructure components as well has having to manage several trusted certificates provided by the partners (with intermediate certificates there were about 6 just for this partner alone … I am trying to picture how that scales for each new partner). "
- Nishant Kaushik: Identity Management Doesn't Make The Cloud Complex. It Makes it Real.
"What does it take to wake me from my blogging slumber? I guess it takes someone bashing Identity Management as a security technology that is deployed just for the sake of it. In an article today on InfoWorld entitled 'Killing the cloud with complexity', David Linthicum classifies Identity Management as a "trendy", "newer" and "more expensive" security model in cloud deployments for which "there really is no requirement". In his view, it just adds to the complexity of the deployment, helping to kill it. Makes your head spins, no?"
- Dave Kearns: Dissing Identity
"I don't know Infoworld's David Linthicum (he writes about Cloud Computing), never met him and - I don't think - I've ever read anything he's written. Odds are I won't read any of his stuff in the future, either."

- See presentations and videos from Kantara Summit and Workshop in Munich, April 2012
[Links to slides for 14 sessions from the two events.]
- Jennifer Cobb: The Promise of the Personal Cloud
" I find myself agreeing with Jon Udell who writes in Wired, "I see signs of the personal cloud in services like Dropbox, Evernote, and Flickr. You can use them for free, or you can pay for higher capacity and enhanced customer service. But the personal cloud also arises from a way of thinking about, and using, any of the services the web provides.""
- How a trio of hackers brought Google's reCAPTCHA to its knees
"Hackers exploit weaknesses in Google's bot-detection system with 99% accuracy"
- John Fontana: Brian Campbell: The simple joy of understanding OAuth
"Every time I think I am finally getting a firm grip on the ins and outs of OAuth along comes something else that I have to add to the puzzle. But last week, I came across one of the best layouts of the OAuth foundation from the ground up."
- Brian Katz: BYOD required for retention? Bollocks!!!
"If you want to drive higher employee retention no matter whether they are millennials or any other group, learn to leave the legacy thinking behind and build a strategy that enables your employees to work anytime, anywhere with the information they need to get their job done. In the end, it leads to them being more productive which means that as a company you should become more profitable. A win-win if I ever saw one."
- John Fontana: Cloud provisioning spec step closer to IETF working group
"A proposal to create a new standard for provisioning users to cloud services is making its way along the standards track and is soon to be the focus for a new IETF working group."
- Dave Winer: We *can* do better than Facebook
"Google's problem is they used Facebook as their guide to upgrading their view of what the Internet is. And that led them away from their strength, and into what I think is a dead-end. Much as Microsoft was led into a dead-end by the web in the 1990s. The problem with Facebook's approach is more than it has centralized all access to user's data, which they have. They've also centralized the flow of new ideas to the Internet. If you buy the idea that Facebook is the Internet, which is of course the problem for Facebook. Because no matter how big they get, they're still just part of the Internet. All the devices people use to access Facebook can access other parts of the Internet. So if something more exciting comes along, people can get there. "

"Today everything has an API. Facebook has hundreds of APIs across such social areas as friends, photos, likes and events. Google has thousands of APIs across search/AdWords, Web analytics, YouTube, maps, email and many more. Amazon has APIs that cover the spectrum from Alexa Web traffic rankings to e-commerce product and pricing information and even the ability to start and stop individual machines. I spent a decade architecting and building component and services based software, and another decade after that evaluating and investing in infrastructure software, I believe this mobile and cloud influenced wave of RESTful service-oriented software may finally live up to its initial promise."

At the same time, the government has specific Privacy and Security requirements that need to be satisfied in order for a government relying party to trust a credential that has been issued by an entity other than the U.S. Federal Government."
- Anil John: How to Verify Citizen Identity Easily and Effectively
"One of the reasons for trying to articulate this is that I have found myself recently in multiple settings discussing protocol flows and privacy preserving crypto. But at the end of the discussion, I often feel as though we have not asked ourselves some foundational questions regarding choices made in identity proofing and credential issuance. This in turn has resulted in a lack of clarity around the downstream impact of those choices on privacy, security and flexibility. So here goes..."

1. The way United lost to Real Madrid is likely to strengthen Sir Alex Ferguson's determination to remain at the helm
Because Ferguson can – and almost certainly will - rationalise that his side lost to a freak event at Old Trafford on Tuesday night, rather than to a better team.
Against considerable odds and despite the "cartoon cavalcade" defence the manager was so exasperated about in early December, this new generation of players has demonstrated in the past month that they are perfectly capable of matching the European elite. Ferguson admitted that he wasn't entirely certain they were, on the eve of the first leg in the Bernabeu. "This will be the acid test," he said, and there seemed to be a laugh from him when someone talked about winning the European Cup. "Us?" he asked. United's vulnerability to the aerial ball in the first half of the season made you fear what terrors the Bernabeu might inflict on a side who were cut down at Norwich and Tottenham. They have more than coped.
They should – and could – have won the tie. If Robin van Persie had only pounced on his gilt-edged late chance in the Bernabeu, rather than fire it into the ground, taking the pace from the ball and allowing Diego Lopez to save, the course of the tie would have been different – and profligacy has certainly been United's cardinal sin over the 180 minutes.
Even with the tie balanced so precariously on Tuesday, they got their tactics right. They had nullified the Spanish threat and Cristiano Ronaldo when Cuneyt Cakir, the Turkish referee, intervened. Some of the young players Ferguson has watched carrying out his instructions to perfection across both games – Danny Welbeck, Phil Jones and Tom Cleverley foremost among them – will only reinforce his messianic belief that teams must be grown organically, and not simply bought. Yes, United still look short of a creative nexus in their midfield. Many Manchester United fans have argued with this correspondent's view that Rafael da Silva still does not possess the full defensive armoury in this, his breakthrough season. He had lost Ronaldo when he scored Tuesday's winner. But the broader picture is more positive.
Ferguson will have seen with his own eyes that the final United team to be shaped by him is a force in Europe, and without Cakir's intrusion might even have conquered it in May. The intrusion is just football, of course. Games at this stage of the season can so often turn on the unpredictable and unexpected.
No one knows what Ferguson's precise thoughts on retirement are and any discussion of them is guesswork. But the manager's finger-pointing and rabble-rousing on Tuesday reveal a man with heart for at least one more tilt at the trophy. It is a chance which has been bestowed upon him by these young players.
2. Wayne Rooney playing for Manchester City is no longer such an unimaginable prospect
Rooney's omission from one of United's half dozen biggest games of the past decade will have an impact on the renewal of the contract, worth £250,000 a week, which United were so desperate to sign Rooney up to, with Manchester City circling three years ago. After he had signed on the dotted line, Rooney declared: "Believe me if I had gone [somewhere else] it wouldn't have been in England." But United would not find a £40m bid from Manchester City as unthinkable now because he is simply not a £40m player.
Unitedy would remove £12m a year from their wage bill and Rooney may also find the wages he wants across Manchester. Would City be willing to pay them? Already one striker down, after Mario Balotelli's departure to Milan, they may also see Carlos Tevez depart this summer with one year left on his deal and no intention to renew. Roberto Mancini may not be in situ beyond the summer either but when Rooney was struggling to agree terms with United in 2010, the Italian expressed his appreciation. Where else? Europe is a possibility, though Rooney's representatives have not responded to suggestions about Paris Saint-Germain.
3. Ryan Giggs has demonstrated that mental energy is as important as physical fitness
His performance on Tuesday night defied any kind of logic. The player who was outsprinting Ronaldo at one stage and searing around the Old Trafford turf did not resemble the individual who has looked on a number of occasions in the past 18 months as if his days had come to an end. That is the kind of physical output that a surge in mental energy can deliver you.
4. Real Madrid prove that playing with 10 men is not as difficult as United made it look
Their manager Jose Mourinho declared this to be the case in his post-match press conference. "In history there are many examples of the team with 10 men holding out" – and a good example came when it took almost five minutes to get Kaka on the field after Angel di Maria was injured in the first half. Madrid maintained almost permanent possession, while when United went down to 10 men they dropped deep and allowed Madrid at them. Real also adjusted rapidly to their numerical advantage, turning the entire tie on its head before United sorted themselves out.
5. Player of the Year? Robin van Persie has his work cut out
Someone joked on Tuesday night that former Arsenal players are used to the season being over by February and though there are extenuating circumstances with Van Persie, who has been carrying a slight hamstring strain in recent weeks, the 15th-minute opportunity he could not make a full connection with at Old Trafford was one of a number of misses across both legs against Real Madrid.
His impact at United has been extraordinary in his first season but he has scored only once in eight games since striking at White Hart Lane in January.Reuse content

Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot spoke with Kotaku about the poor sales of the Wii U. The publisher has been one of the few third party companies that has supported the console. However, Guillemot stated that the Wii U needs to sell better before they make anymore exclusives.
"We need more sold," said Guillemot. "They are coming with five of their biggest brands ever. And the Yen went down. So maybe they will take steps that will increase the number of consoles sold."
"Our job is to be agile," he said. "We have to adapt the company to the potential of the market. So, what we did last year, was we knew we could learn second-screen with Nintendo, so we went full-speed to use this capacity the console was bringing. And we were able to develop Rayman, which will come at the end of this year and which is fantastic, using this second screen."
"What we saw is that, in learning that, we can also use it with the other consoles with [Xbox] Smart Glass, for example, and it's a good option that is coming to us. If you look at us this year on Wii U we will have a lot of products."
Ubisoft is releasing a lot of its multiplatform titles this year on the Wii U. These games include Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed IV and Just Dance. Rayman Legends was once a Wii U exclusive, but is now also coming out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

FOXBORO -- The Patriots signed linebacker Jeff Tarpinian off the practice squad on Thursday and released linebacker A.J. Edds. Taking Tarpinian's spot on the practice squad is defensive back Josh Victorian.
Edds was signed by the Patriots in the week prior to the season opener in Miami. He did not have a tackle against the Dolphins but made one tackle and assisted on another in the Week 2 win over the Chargers.
Tarpinian was an undrafted rookie free agent this summer out of Iowa and was signed to the practice squad after clearing waivers following camp. Victorian, also an undrafted rookie free agent this summer from Louisiana Tech, was released by the Ravens in training camp this summer.

Hi guys, I have come here for answers before and always been very successful in finding a solution however I can find nothing to help me with regards to this latest issue so thought for once I would make a post and hope you could help me??
A school near us recently got shutdown and sold off all their computer equipment. I brought 2 laptops and was given the password to get through the web-based security company they were using so the internet would be successfully used. The problem I am facing is that there is a UAC admin password in place that I wasn't told the password to and I cant download anything onto the computer or even make any changes to user accounts etc. Please help me to take back control of my new laptops??? They are both using Windows 7. thanks in advance.

Use this procedure to blank out the Administrator password. How to Reset Your Windows Password Without an Install CD
excellent I'll give that a go and get back to you with the results. Thank you very much :D
If I were you I'd simply reinstall Windows, either using the built-in factory restore (make and model would help us telling you how to do it) or using a Windows 7 disc (provided the Windows sticker with activation code is still visible - usually under the laptop or under the battery).
can you access the control panel and see the names of the users?
It seems that the current user is not an administrator at all.
You may want to just do a clean install of Windows 7 since the computers were owned by another person. That way you can also configure EVERYTHING from the start the way YOU want it, not the way the school configured it. I know schools limit a lot of what you can do with computers.
This is a good tutorial on how to do a clean install:
afuhnk beat me to it.
much appreciated guys am looking into 1st suggestion at the moment as to do a whole system format I would need to find all the drivers needed and don't have the stuff to do that. <--- not up to date with computers and a little out of my depth but you only learn by doing so time to give myself a refresher :D
What is the model number for your computer? It should be on a sticker on the bottom
For example my laptop says:
PRODUCT: Presario V6000
s/n: CNF72425KN
p/n: GA395UA#ABA
Well, if the recovery partition is still on the hard disc, you will not need drivers as they will be there once it's done.
Once the recovery is done, Windows Update will take care of most updates and to get the newer drivers you can download them from the laptop's driver page.
If the recovery partition is missing then you will want to get drivers, again from the laptop's driver page. Ideally before you format / reinstall. At least the wired / wireless ones so that you can have access to the web and perform updates, get drivers etc.

On Thursday, the Eighth Circuit all but assured that major parts of the Affordable Care Act will return to the Supreme Court's chopping block. This time the issue is whether an accommodation—enabling religious objectors to opt out of offering contraceptive coverage to their employees—itself violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). The Eighth Circuit ruled for the plaintiffs in Sharpe Holdings, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, along with a companion case brought by Dordt College. The court concluded that the accommodation substantially burdened plaintiffs' religious exercise and that the accommodation was not the least-restrictive means of ensuring that the plaintiffs' employees had contraceptive coverage.
The Eighth Circuit's substantial-burden ruling is unprecedented. Indeed, the contraception coverage cases appear to be the first time that exempted entities have sued to prevent the government from implementing a religious exemption. Like the other nonprofit organizations challenging the contraception regulations, the plaintiffs in this case are not required to cover contraceptives. All they have to do is provide written notice (to either their plan administrator or the Department of Health and Human Services) that they object to providing contraceptive coverage and wish to opt out. Once they provide that notice, the government arranges for the plan administrator to arrange for contraceptive coverage—at no charge to either the plaintiffs or their employees.
The plaintiffs insist that by opting out of providing contraceptive coverage, they "indirectly provide, trigger, and facilitate that objectionable coverage through the … accommodation process." Every other federal appeals court to have addressed these challenges—even courts as conservative as the Fifth Circuit—has rejected this argument. Indeed, the plaintiffs are being asked to do what they have already done voluntarily: state, in writing, that they object to providing contraceptive coverage to their employees. And it is the HHS regulations, not the plaintiffs' written notice, that facilitates the provision of contraceptive coverage to plaintiffs' employees.

September 28, 2012. Cincinnati, Ohio
They called him Mash'al, or ―The Torch.‖ He was an Islamic extremist and a
paranoid schizophrenic, a dangerous cocktail. Since the time he was a teenager, Mash'al
began finding his own personal secret messages from Mohammed in the Qur'an. When
he was young, the Prophet only needed him to do minor tasks, like removing all the
brown bottles from the local convenience store or catching mice and putting them in a
duct-taped Slurpee cup. But that was small potatoes. The Prophet was calling him to do
something important, that was sure. Mash'al's parents in Iran had given up on him long
ago. The father had a fairly respectable job working for a petroleum company. His
mother did a good job raising Mash'al and his three brothers. But Mash'al was too much
for them to handle. One day, his father would find Mash'al high on opium lying around
the house. The next day he would learn that his son had vandalized a fruit stand, throwing
the fruit all over the bazaar, claiming that the Prophet was calling him to cast out all the
evil fruit pits. Left to his own devices, he was easily recruited by Al Qaeda. This next
mission for Islam was something only a certifiable lunatic would do.
The Planner had mailed the anti-psychotic medications to his small apartment in
Cincinnati. The Planner insisted that Mash'al take the medicine. If he did not, he would
not become a true Abisali, a Warrior of the Faith. Mash'al did not want to take the pills,
but he knew if he did not, he would let down the Master. Incredibly, the pills gave him a
focus he had never experienced. The inner voices, constantly screaming at him that he
was not worthy, that he was a mangy wolf, that he had too much hair….they had all died
down. The silence from the voices was most welcome and allowed him to focus. The
only downside was the drugs made him a little lethargic, but Mash'al was in good shape.
He would be fine.
Today was the day Mash'al would fulfill his destiny as the spear point of jihad. He
could not wait. Mash'al opened the door to the lobby of his downtown Cincinnati
apartment building and met the UPS man. He was terribly excited to receive the brown
package. He bounded up the steps two at a time until he reached 2J, then opened his door
with the key and dashed to the kitchen table. He ripped off the paper covering with a
knife, and opened the cardboard package. Inside, wrapped in cellophane was a set of gray
janitor's overalls, with a red and white emblem on the shoulder which read ―Mills
Janitorial‖. There was also a red baseball cap with the same emblem. Also included in the
package were a black .45 Beretta and silencer, and an orange key to a storage locker.
Mash'al could barely breathe, he was so excited. This was really happening. The
Prophet was practically demanding that he complete his tasks today. He quickly donned
the baseball cap and put the overalls over his clothing, zipping himself up in front. The
overalls were the correct size. He grabbed his keys and, checking the hallway to make
sure no one saw him, ran down the stairs and out the door to the parking lot.
In a half hour, he had arrived at the Store-A-Lot storage facility in downtown
Cincinnati. He parked his beat-up Mazda in front of locker 73. Taking out the orange key,
Mash'al unlocked the powder blue door, and then, from the inside, swung up the
corrugated metal garage door. There was only one thing in the locker, a white plastic
trash barrel with the words ―Mills Janitorial‖ stenciled on the side. Mash'al lifted off the

Since the early 1990s in Ireland, a liquidator of an insolvent company appointed by the court has been obliged to bring applications to the High Court to restrict directors of the insolvent company. Such restriction applications can result in the High Court declaring that a particular director cannot act either indirectly or directly in the affairs of a company for a period of 5 years, unless certain requirements are met.
This obligation has now been extended to liquidators of all insolvent companies. The only way in which a liquidator can be relieved of this obligation is by a decision of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (DCE). This is a new statutory appointment created by the Company Law Enforcement Act 2001. A liquidator is obliged to make a full report on the affairs of the company to the DCE within six months of his appointment. The DCE will act as a filter by relieving liquidators from the obligation in cases where the liquidator states in his report that the director has demonstrated that he has acted honestly and responsibly in relation to the conduct of the company's affairs.
As a result, a flurry of activity could be seen in the offices of many an insolvency practitioner in the last quarter of 2002, as they prepared and submitted the first tranche of reports to the DCE arising out of the obligations imposed by Section 56 of the 2001 act. While liquidators are no strangers to preparing reports, the format of the report required by Section 56 has been predetermined. It is lengthy and de-mands, on occasions, that the liquidator express opinions on certain matters that might sometimes be deemed controversial.
These reports were to be submitted by 31 November 2002 in the case of liquidators app-ointed prior to 1 June 2002 and within six months from the date of appointment in all other cases. By the end of 2002, out of the 309 reports due, the DCE had received 293 relating to 770 company directors.
The DCE has advised that the submitted liquidators' reports suggest that relief is warranted in approximately 50 per cent of cases, but this would appear to be the view of the individual liquidator and not that of the DCE. Further, in approximately 20 per cent of the reports, serious misconduct is reported. Such serious misconduct is stated to comprise of directors using the company for personal purposes, of directors not keeping proper books of account or of directors diverting company assets to themselves.
The first batch of applications under Section 150 will soon be heard by the High Court. In the cases where reports were submitted by 31 November 2002, and where the liquidator is not relieved from the obligation to so do, the motions seeking orders under Section 150 must issue by 30 April, or shortly before.
The DCE also proposes that Section 56 should apply to all liquidators appointed to insolvent companies on or after 1 January 2000 if the liquidations are ongoing on 1 June this year. It is expected that this proposal will take effect shortly.
The President of the High Court has now issued a practice direction setting out the procedure to be adopted where the company is in creditors' voluntary liquidation, as previously there was no mechanism to make such an application for an order under Section 150. The application is to be brought by way of originating notice of motion grounded on an affidavit sworn by the liquidator and exhibiting a copy of the winding up resolution, a Companies Registration Office search showing the directors of the company, a certificate given by the liquidator stating that the company is unable to pay its debts and the letter from the DCE advising that the liquidator is not relieved from the obligation to bring the application. The liquidator must also set out all facts that it feels should be brought to the attention of the court, which should include both mitigating and damning facts.
After the motion is issued, it is served on the director respondent giving more than 21 clear days notice of the return date. A respondent director should then enter an appearance to the application within 10 days and, if they wish to oppose the application, file an affidavit setting out the facts upon which the director wishes to rely in opposing the application. This affidavit should be served on the liquidator or their solicitor on record giving more than four clear days notice. If no appearance is entered, the liquidator must file an affidavit of service in the Central Office of the High Court more than two clear days prior to the return date.
The practice direction states that extensions of time for the filing of affidavits by either party shall not be granted, except in exceptional circumstances where the court is satisfied that the extension of time is required for good reason. If there is no appearance by a respondent to the application, the court may determine the application on the return date, provided the liquidator has complied with all matters set out in the practice direction.

Excellent Apartment/ studio with a very good location in the Jewish quater. You can reach Old Town by foot in about 10 mins. Several good restaurants in the neighborhood (book in advance!). Robert is a good host and very flexible. We highly recommend this Apartment.
A nice modern flat in a very nice area. A lot of nice restaurants Close by and a very nice night life if you want. 10 min walk to the castle and you are in the middle of the Town.
A nice, fully equipped apartment with a friendly and attentive host. The lots of nice restaurants in the vicinity prevented us from trying to use the kitchen, except for breakfast. Very recommended!
Very nice studio, well equiped, good situated.
Robert is a good host. We had a marvellous stay.
We enjoeyd our stay in Robert's flat very much. Everything was in the right place ;-) Plates, cups and even salt & pepper, water and milk in the fridge. The (rain-)showering was a pleasure. Anyway the whole flat was a very tidy place.
The Bochenska location was calm, although it was not far away from the center oft the quarter.
It was very easy with Robert. He gave us a good introduction to our quarter. When there were quesitions he answered promptly and when we needed help e.g. printing out documents he offered himself unasked to do it for us.
We would always stay there again.

Each year, the Women of Nashotah House (WoNH) host a Lenten Retreat. The dates for this year's retreat are March 14 and 15 and WoNH invites all female alumni, staff, faculty, spouses, and students to attend. Please save the dates as information about fees and times are forthcoming. This year's retreat will feature Renée Smith. Trained as a classical musician, pursued a second Master's degree in Mission and Evangelism at Trinity School for Ministry. For 15 years (ending March 2012), she worked with Frontiers, "With love and respect, inviting all Muslim peoples to follow Jesus." She provided assessment, preparation and care for those going overseas long term. This included listening, pastoral coaching, deep healing prayer, and spiritual formation. She loves to come alongside others to encourage intimacy and depth with our Triune God.
About WoNH's campus ministry, Kate Wood, '16, said, 'WoNH is an important part of community life at Nashotah House Theological Seminary. WoNH allows for women, whether spouse, faculty, staff, or student, to practice administering God's word and teachings to others, and it is a good example of the expectations one may encounter as a leader in future parish life.'
This year's retreat will be local. WoNH will host at nearby Hilton Garden Inn in Oconomowoc, WI, and retreat attendees have reserved a conference room. Last year, WoNH hosted the retreat at Grace Episcopal Church in Sheboygan, WI.
Each year, the focus of the retreat is to seek refreshment from the Lord. While is it not a get-away, it is a joyful coming to, part of WoNH's mission. Jen Pearson, '15, said, 'Nashotah House presents a unique understanding of a what it means to live, breathe and thrive in community; WoNH, as one of the many extensions of the House, further solidifies those priceless Christ-centered connections and friendships.'

A timeless wedding weaves the modern with the past, like when brides wear vintage gowns or when the cake is filled with rationed beans. Vow to live in the moment with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $20 for two tickets to the Garden Wedding Experience (a $50 value)
- $29 for two VIP tickets to the Garden Wedding Experience (a $60 value), which include reserved seating at the fashion show, a special goody bag, and other perks
On Thursday, October 11, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., full-service caterers, photographers, florists, and other vendors descend upon the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden to spark a wedding extravaganza. Amid palm trees on the Garden House Lawn, guests sip sunset cocktails and sample bites from caterers, mingling and waiting for the headlining fashion show in the Bailey Palm Glade. There, a coral rock grotto and staircases winding around a lily pond host models as they flaunt bridal looks from Ella Bella Rozio, Bloomingdale's, and Hugo Boss. The night puts guests in touch with Fairchild's preferred vendors—including Bottega Grill, Lasso the Moon, Scratch Weddings, and Tony Gajate Photography—and also shows off the charm of the gardens themselves as a potential venue.
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden
Since 1938, the keepers of the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden have cultivated more than 85 acres of floral displays with a mixture of science and art. The gardens are lush with plants valuable to scientists and educators, and the tropical landscapes designed by William Lyman Phillips are like ever-evolving canvases, blooming and fading as the seasons change. Most of the palms, cycads, flowering trees, and vines were collected from the wild, but the grounds also harbor endangered plant species.
Guides give English and Spanish tram tours as well as walking tours through specific parts of the gardens, or visitors can explore the displays at their leisure, wandering through the 16,428-square foot two-level Tropical Plant Conservatory exhibit, which blooms with orchids, fruit trees, and rare palms. Cascading waterfalls punctuate the stream flowing through the 2-acre Richard H. Simons Rainforest, where visitors admire the diverse plant life and reflect on the worldwide threat of rapidly vanishing rainforests. The Wings of the Tropics exhibit features thousands of exotic butterflies with tropical fish and rare plant life. Butterflies are released twice daily and the Butterfly Metamorphosis Lab lets kids experience them up close. The water gardens combine tranquility pools with waterfalls, sculpture, and lily pads to evoke a sense of calm.
