Properties and evolution of the Universe and of large systems within it. We will study qualitative aspects of general relativity (including Black Holes) and of mathematical models for the geometry of the Universe. We will then track the history of the Universe from its early exponential expansion to the formation of galaxies. The role of observations in refining our modern scientific understanding of the structure and evolution of the Universe will be stressed. The approach will be quantitative but any mathematics beyond straightforward algebra will be taught as we proceed.
Astronomy 101 is useful, but not a prerequisite.
Astro 112 will treat cosmology, defined as the study of the large-scale structure and the history of the Universe.
To understand the structure of the Universe, we will need first to study modern views of the geometry of space-time (based on Einstein's theories of special and general relativity). You will have to abandon your old, Newtonian, notions of absolute distance and time. Once we have established the properties of space-time, we will look at the three possible geometries for the Universeand at ways to determine which is the actual "correct" geometry. We will see that geometry and the long-term future of the Universe are directly connected.
We will also detour briefly to study the odd geometry around a Black Hole: Why is there no escape from a Black Hole?
The second half of the course will be devoted to the history of the expanding Universe. The dynamics of the Universe are dominated by gravity, so we will begin our study by treating gravitational effects in a uniform Universe. Once the basic equations are set up, we will look at possible futures for the Universe, then probe its distant past. As we look back over the 1020 billion year history of the Universe since the Big Bang, we will focus on four interesting epochs: the time when galaxies form; the time when the matter broke free from the heat radiation of the Universe (the earliest time we can "see" directly); the epoch of element formation about 3 minutes after the Big Bang; and the epoch of inflation when the Universe we know "blew up" by a factor of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000 in volume.
Almost all the reading in the course will be from books and articles addressed to intelligent lay persons (many of the articles will be from Scientific American). However, from time to time we will read slightly more technical articles from professional journalsI will provide notes or glosses when necessary. Cosmology as a science is moving so rapidly that many of the newest developments have not had time to reach books for the non-technical reader.
J. Silk, The Big Bang
S. Weinberg, The First Three Minutes
(optional) P. Bergmann, The Riddle of Gravitation, and J. Hawley and K. Holcomb, Foundations of Modern Cosmology.
There will be roughly ten homework sets or projects (one or two of them involving computer programs, which I set up, to do the arithmetic). About 40% of your grade will depend on the homework. The other 60% will be determined by three tests, equally weighted. I am considering giving you the choice of replacing one of the tests with a 10 page paperwe will talk about that option later.
You do not need to have Astro 101 to take (and do well in) Astro 112. For those who haven't had 101, I'll teach an extra 1-2 hour session early in the semester to introduce some astronomical jargon and lore. No background in calculus is required, but we will make frequent use of algebra. I will teach some math as we go, and any difficult "number crunching" will be done by prepared computer programs. But you will earn your "Q" point.
Astro 112 is consciously designed to work you hard in the beginning, then relax a bit in the last few weeks (when you will be busy with other work). For instance, there will be no cumulative final exam, just a third test given in the exam period.
If you have questions about the nature of the course, see me soon. I am generally available Monday and Thursday afternoons and Monday and Wednesday mornings before 11:20.

|3 - 10 nights
VRBO certified through the Bear program!
The villa has just been updated and newly furnished. In three bedrooms and with two big sofa beds it easily sleeps ten. The house offers about 2100 square feet of living space. The garden is approximately 10000 square feet and offers LOTS of space for entertaining! You won't find anything else with that much outdoor space in SE Florida! The property is fenced, but you have access to the private dock. However, children cannot open the gate to the dock. Among the palm trees and the tropical banyan tree there is plenty of natural shade and lots of sun as well. Enjoy lying on the chaise lounge and watch the ships sailing by in the canal. Or have fun with the new active 3D-TV! Or just relax in the screedend patio, watching the garden and pool or TV.
You can have your own jet ski or boat docked to the property's private dock for your personal use! Boating to the ocean is just a few minutes with no restrictions like fixed bridges. There is shore power and freshwater at the dock.
The beach is very close as well as all the shops, restaurants, cinema, tennis, golf and horseback riding. The villa is an ideal holiday destination all year round.
Grocery stores, bakery, all kind of shops like shoe shop or diving shop are just minutes away. You can walk even to Starbuck's!
Tennis, horseback riding, golf, scuba diving, snorkeling, beach, boat rentals, fishing and deep sea fishing, diving, snorkeling, boat and jet ski rental, surf lessons, kite surfing, cinemas, outlets, Shopping (Wholefoods, Costco, Publix, Walmart and others), Everglades, Miami, excellent restaurants - all is around the corner!
The area is just wonderful and everything is close by: beaches, excellent restaurants, public golf and tennis courses, grocery stores, a secluded intracoastal park with fitness trail, tennis courts, movie theatres and stores. Also Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Delray Beach and Palm Beach are great spots to visit within a short time.
Exceptionally big backyard, fence to the canal and around the property, remodeled house, new furniture, new kitchen appliances, spacious rooms, bright rooms, screened patio with lounge, heatable pool and whirlpool, outdoor kitchen, several dining places, natural shadow and sun and a screened patio with outdoor tv
As first time VRBO users we were unsure as what to expect. When we arrived however we were blown away by how nice this property was. The yard is huge with plenty of seating and the entire place well kept. The screened in porch and large open living space made it easy for us to hang out together in the evening when we returned from a hard day at the beach.
The location of this property made it easy for us to get to local beaches and nearby attractions.
Thank you Claude for making our first VRBO experience a very positive one.
I would highly recommend this property for families looking to escape the hotel scene and have a more homely vacation experience.
This was our 3rd stay at Claude's home and it is exactly that, a home. This isn't just a house, but they have thought of everything to give you all the comforts of home.
Our family has severe allergies and Nicole and Claude go all of their ways to make sure that their staff has done a thorough job of cleaning and removing items with our allergens, so that we can start relaxing as soon as we walk through the door.
Their home is truly a tropical getaway. The huge backyard is an absolute plus for hanging out at any time of the day.
Since the villa is very well located, it is so close to some of the best beaches in Florida. It is also right around the corner from premium shopping, restaurants and grocery stores.
It is also so large that for the 4 adults and 2 kiddos, there was still plenty of space to relax and not feel crowded. We can't wait to go back next year!
Nicole and Claude, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making sure we have a great time. Your home is worth every single penny.

I am an IT engineer who relocated from NY to FL with my company.
At first, I only booked this property for a couple of days and intended to look for a permanent rental asap. Well, I quickly extended my stay after I had stayed here for a couple of days.
If it had been possible to enter a long-term lease for this property, I wouldn't have hesitated a second to do so, especially after I had seen 20+ long-term rental properties on the market.
This property has one big plus none of the other properties on the market has: a HUGE backyard and a LOT of space for entertaining. Since I have a family with smaller children, I also appreciated a lot to have the backyard fenced, especially towards the canal.
Enjoying the awesome and unobstructed water views on the canal while having a cool drink under the shade of a tree or in the marvellous pool is very relaxing, especially after a tough day at the office. My wife and children spent entire days at the property without leaving it. Actually, it's more like a private resort than just a house.
As an IT engineer, I also work a lot from home on the weekends and I liked the fast and stable internet connection. Even in the backyard, I was able to have video-conferencing sessions.
The villa itself was very clean at our arrival. It's well equipped and all appliances are new and in stainless steel design. It's also very well located, close to the beach, the shops, restaurants and the Golf Course.
I would highly recommend this property to any other guests, especially with children.
Thank you for a wonderful stay at your property!
A big thank you for making our stay as easy and delightful!
We all had a truly amazing holiday. The house itself was very clean, well maintained and spacious for our party of six. The view from the dock is fantastic, it is a pleasure to see the wonderful boats passing by.
The kids had fun to try fishing. We enjoyed spending most of our days relaxing by the pool, hanging out in the huge backyard, doing barbecues and ending the evening with a cocktail in hand in the stunning lounge under the Banyan tree watching the sunset.
Had a wonderful stay at this villa. It's a perfect hideaway from the busy life and perfect for indulging yourself in a laidback vacation. Away from busy roads but close to shopping and restaurants it is located in a nice quiet neighbourhood.
There is more than enough room for our family of 6 and the pool was a hit with both adults and kids. The place offers plenty of opportunities for activity including boating, swimming, diving and snorkeling, outdoor fitness at Pompano Beach's promenade.
The villa was very clean and cosy, the kitchen was well equipped and the barbecue was a great bonus.
An excellent holiday was had by my entire family, we will definitely book again and would thoroughly recommend the villa to anyone else.

Warning! It has now been 7 weeks since we vacated the property and have not received our deposit back or had any response from the owner despite numerous emails. We left the property how we found it. Claude please contact us.
When booking the property all communication was swift. Questions dealt with very quickly (shame this is not the case since we left). We were very excited to stay at the property after reading all of the reviews.
When we arrived at the property we couldn't believe that these 5 star reviewers had stayed in the same property. It's worlds away from being 'immaculate' and is in desperate need of a good freshen up. The whole property smelled stale (we ended up buying our own air fresheners just to mask the smell), the furniture in the back porch was filthy, the floors were filthy, wardrobes broken, wires laying around outside (be careful if you have kids), stained sheets (which I was told is 'not policy' to replace - disgusting), signs EVERYWHERE telling you the rules, it's like being back at school. We had to clean the place ourselves and wash the bedding just to make it liveable. Pool was filthy, full of dirt, leaves and debris, had to wait 4 days for this to be cleaned.
We were trying to be positive, we're in sunny Florida! Went to have a shower and the pipes were blocked which caused both bathrooms to flood along with an even worse smell that covered up the musky smell from before. I emailed Claude and was told there is a plunger in the garage - this didn't work (he also implied we had blocked this ourselves which we certainly hadn't as there was a giant sign above the toilet reminding everyone not to flush anything but toilet paper!). Claude sent someone over to fix it who then spent most of the day removing sand from the pipes from previous guests and apologised (no apology from the owner though, he doesn't like negative feedback).
As per previous reviews, the wifi was poor, I had to constantly turn off the wifi on my phone as it kept disconnecting (and before they reply that I might have been far away from the property, I wasn't).
Only positive is the location, close to beach, shops and golf club which is good as you won't want to spend much time at the property.
The whole group of us were pretty miserable which is a shame as we had travelled from the UK for this holiday. It seems that the owners refuse to take any constructive feedback onboard. Hopefully they listen to this feedback rather than telling me I'm wrong.
We will provide you with a welcome booklet including a lot of must-sees and ideas for activities as well as a list of the very best restaurants in the area!

- What are the possible side effects of triptorelin (Trelstar LA)?
- What is the most important information I should know about triptorelin (Trelstar LA)?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using triptorelin (Trelstar LA)?

- What should I avoid while using triptorelin (Trelstar LA)?
- What other drugs will affect triptorelin (Trelstar LA)?
- Where can I get more information?
What is triptorelin (Trelstar LA)?
Triptorelin is a man-made form of a hormone that regulates many processes in the body. Triptorelin overstimulates the body's own production of certain hormones, which causes that production to shut down temporarily.
Triptorelin is used to treat the symptoms of prostate cancer. Triptorelin treats only the symptoms of prostate cancer and does not treat the cancer itself. Use any other medications your doctor has prescribed to best treat your condition.
Triptorelin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of triptorelin (Trelstar LA)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect. Some of these side effects are symptoms of prostate cancer that may occur because the medicine raises your testosterone levels:
- painful or difficult urination, burning when you urinate, blood in the urine;
- bone pain;
- numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness (especially in your legs and feet);
- loss of movement in any part of your body;
- fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
- sudden numbness or weakness, sudden severe headache, confusion, problems with vision or speech; or
- chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling.
Less serious side effects may include:
- hot flashes;
- back pain, pain or swelling in your legs;
- headache, dizziness, tired feeling;
- decreased interest in sex, impotence, trouble having an orgasm;
- nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, upset stomach;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- breast pain or swelling; or
- pain where the medicine was injected.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Trelstar LA (triptorelin pamoate for injectable suspension) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about triptorelin (Trelstar LA)?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to triptorelin or similar drugs such as leuprolide (Lupron, Viadur, Eligard) or goserelin (Zoladex).
Before using triptorelin, tell your doctor if you have any type of cancer that has spread to your spine, a bladder obstruction or problems with urination, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a history of stroke or heart attack, or if you smoke.
After your injection, your prostate cancer symptoms may get worse for a short time because triptorelin raises your testosterone levels. These side effects should get better within 3 or 4 weeks. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse while using triptorelin.
Some of the side effects of triptorelin are symptoms of prostate cancer that may occur because the medicine raises your testosterone levels. Call your doctor at once if you have pain or burning when you urinate, blood in your urine, bone pain, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or loss of movement in any part of your body.
Although triptorelin is not for use by women, this medication can cause birth defects and should not be used by a woman who is pregnant or who may become pregnant.

So it actually started about 5 months ago, in the start of December. I was constantly trying to find a proper way to build a Mercedes Benz 600, with no prevail. Mainly because my way of building back then was quite different. So a month or so ago, I took up the challenge and tried again (by now the third time), building it in a different way which looked a lot better.
Quick specs of the car for the lazy:
0-60: 15.3 seconds,

Has too many features for me to list so watch the video, has most of the features in it (though there's still a ton of hidden stuff).

Laos has handed over to the United States the remains believed to be of Australian Neil Sharman and US presidential candidate Howard Dean's brother, and two American soldiers who went missing decades ago.
The remains - thought to be of Charles Dean and Sharman - were exhumed earlier this month in central Laos following a tip-off by a Laotian villager. Also excavated from other sites in north-eastern Laos were remains suspected to be of two US soldiers killed during the Vietnam War.
The remains were transferred to four aluminium caskets brought by a US military C-130 cargo plane at the Vientiane airport.
An honour guard draped one casket in an Australian flag and the other three in US flags before reloading them on the plane, which flew to Hawaii where a forensic lab will positively identify the remains.
"I am pleased to hand over to you the remains ... Without the co-operation of the local people they would not have been able to find the remains," Laotian Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Phongsavath Boupha said in a speech at the airport.
He called the hand-over "a symbolic victory" in relations between the two countries, adding that Laos wanted to put the past behind and move on.
"Today marks another special day for repatriation of remains from the Indochina war," said US Ambassador to Laos Douglas A. Hartwick.
"This co-operation is a key element in bilateral relations," he said.
Charles Dean went missing in 1974, when the 24-year-old University of North Carolina graduate was travelling through South-East Asia with Sharman. Both are believed to have been imprisoned and killed by communist insurgents who took control of Laos in 1975.
An investigation into their disappearance began in 1991, and the first of two joint US-Laotian excavation teams began digging in August.
A Laotian villager led the investigators to a site near a boulder in a rice paddy near the town of Lakxao, about 40 kilometres west of the Vietnamese border in Bolikhamxai province.
The site was pocked with bomb craters and had to be cleared of Vietnam War-era ordnance, excavation team leader Elizabeth Martinson said. She would not give any other information about the villager or the remains.
But Howard Dean said last week that they included bones, a sock, a pair of shoes and a bracelet. He said his family was convinced they belonged to his brother.
Mr Dean is the front-runner among nine candidates seeking the Democratic nomination in next year's US presidential election.
The remains of 182 Americans have been recovered in Laos since US-sponsored recovery teams began operating in the country in 1992. About 387 Americans are still missing in Laos from the Vietnam War era.

Crafting a Platformer Game
Peer Reviewed by Dragonsoulj, Gaiiden, Dave Hunt
crafting platformer jump traps levels
In this article, I will concentrate on the Game Design of a Platformer game. We will craft out a game that will have a total of three different levels to go through.
The Platformer
Now before we go venturing into the game's core, let's brush up on what this genre actually stands for – platforms. Our main goal in the game that we are currently going to be designing is going to be to get from point A to point B by jumping from platform to platform. We will also encounter some enemies along the way as well. Some traps here and there too. Some small (and I do mean small) puzzles as well. That's to say – we will certainly add features but the core experience has to come from jumping from platform to platform in order to get to your current goal.
The Player
Let's kick things off with the most important thing in a game – the player. We would need to have a specific set of skills for our character to possess in order to complete the game. Let's take a look at a picture of what we are going to be able to do with our player.
As you can see from the picture, our character will be able to move forward, backward and jump. The jump directions are going to be handled by the forward/backward motion that can be executed on performing a jump. I'm going to include only these basic movement patterns in this article. This is beginner material so we don't want to go into an overload.
Our player can also shoot. Why shoot you ask? Why not stomp our enemies by furiously jumping on their heads? Well, for a number of reasons. The idea behind the current platformer is to jump on platforms to get to a certain point. However, we have to make things hard for the player. So – we add enemies (and later on other stuff too) to make our life miserable. However that would not be the case if you can jump all over them from the platform above, right? They would be much more of a threat (that does not imply in all cases – just in the current design) if you fall from a platform onto them and you die. Yeah, not too realistic, though platformers are not too good at being simulators either. So, back to the point – why shooting and not something more complex or original? Well, because, again, this is a beginners article. Just basic stuff.
And lastly, the player should have the ability to "use" things. Why? So we can put some kind of puzzles in the game, make it a bit more complex then just plain grinding jumps. We will see an example of why we need this later on.
The Levels
We are going to go in-depth on the levels further down in this article. This is an overview.
We are going to craft out three levels. The levels will be structured to make the player go up in difficulty. The higher the level, the harder it will be to get through. We will also implement a change in the gameplay directions, however you will see how that goes later on. By doing so we will shift the dynamics a little bit but we'll get to that shortly.
Now, to make things look a bit more interesting, we will implement an objective. The player has to get from his starting position to an exit door. On some (most) of the levels, this door is going to be locked, so the player has to find a key to open the door. Simple but it's all we need for the purpose of this article.
So without going further into overview details, here are the levels.
Level 1
With Level 1 I want to illustrate more in-depth the process of designing the level itself. As we go further, we are going to go more into the pure mechanics design and less on the level parts, however the platformer is very very level-centric so we need to do this.
To start off, let's just have a player starting position and a door.
So we have a plane here and on it we have our player and our door. Great! Where is the challenge in that? Let's get down to adding some things – an enemy and a jump.
So now we have a pit through which we can fall and an enemy. Note that the enemy will patrol back and forth. This will go for all of the enemies you will encounter from here on out through this article. However, back to the matter at hand – this is just not a platformer. There is nothing interesting to do here. So how do we make it a platformer? Well, we totally block the path to the door with an obstacle and we add the meat to the game – the platforms. And to make things worse, we will add enemies to some specific locations where they can cause trouble.
Now to get to the door, you need to jump on the platforms, get past the enemy on top of the obstacle and jump from there. Really intense. Yeah. We need to upgrade this. Let's say that this door is locked and we need a key for it. How about this – we put this key in a harder place to reach. Somewhere on top of the level. And let's make things more interesting. Aside from the regular platforms, let's add a slippery platform that can cause the player to fall.
As you can see in the picture, there are a couple of things the player can do here – if we go down the same path we had as in the previous picture, we'd get to the door. Great, however that door is locked. We should get a nice message that we need to find the key. So we go off again. We jump on the other obstacles and we get back to the big one. From there we take the route on the other platforms. So what to we see while jumping around? More enemies. So we jump, we shoot them, we jump some more and we get to the point where we have our slippery platforms. Now what happens here? Well, if you overdo your jump – you fall. And you fall back to the big obstacle you came from. And maybe right on top of a re-spawned enemy. Oh happy times. So now let's say you manage to jump and get the key. Though you end up falling from the key platform. No worries – a spiked platform is there – it's waiting for you. Well, let's get this over with and say that you did everything right. From here you can find your way back to the door and finally leave this blasted level.
Level 2
So, up until now, in the previous level we had a pattern of movement where we would jump back and forth on the platforms but mostly in a forward-like motion. Our objective was always in a forward path in relation to our point of view.
Now, let's switch up the dynamics – let's have our objective be in an upward path – that's to say that our objective will be above us in relation to our point of view. To get a better perspective of this, let's take a look at this picture.
As you can see, we start at the bottom and the door is at the top. So basically we are going to be doing an Icy Tower kind of thing (just a reference). That's also one of the reasons why I decided to remove the key from the equation for this level. We are going to make it challenging enough to simply jump up through the level. So without further distractions, let's look at a demo of what we are headed in for.
As you can see, we have made a nice mix of regular platforms, slippery platforms and spiked platforms. In regards to making the level harder, we will build on the slippery platforms and in some cases we will make them smaller and way harder to jump correctly on. We will also introduce the concept of having your enemy patrol back and forth while you try to jump on a specific platform that may slip. You just might bump into your opponent without even wanting to. And last but not least, we introduce to you the soft comfort of the spiked platforms that will insure your untimely demise in case you fall from a platform.
Now let's take a look at the real thing and analyze it.
Now this is getting intense. The slippery platforms are getting smaller, further apart and the enemies grow in numbers. That's nothing to say of the big spiked platform in the middle of it all. The further you go up, the harder it gets. That's the total point of all of this – a new dynamic and a new perspective of platform jumping. After you've gone through the big amount ofweird platforms, you are finally ready to go through the door and move on.
Level 3
Now it's time to remove the safety wheels. After we've gone through two different types of dynamics and after we've explored the danger of the platforms themselves, let's blend this into a mixer and add some other stuff for taste.
Our first (and sadly – only) puzzle for this article is here.
Do you remember the switch from the Player section of the article? Well, here is your use case. Here the key makes his triumphant return, only to be locked away behind a dropdown bridge. So … this is how it's going to work. After you pull on the switch, the bridge falls. You will have some time to get to the key before the bridge goes back up. How do you know how much time is enough? Well you have to play through your own game to find out. This is best calculated on a trial and error basis.
Now, let's get down and dirty with the level composition.
Now there is something new – after combining the different approaches from the first two levels, we get this insane jumping platformer. So let's take a look at what we have – we need to go up in order to get to the door. However, going up is implemented in a forward-like motion. You would need to explore in order to get to the point you need.
Here we introduce a lot of small and slippery platforms, along with the normal ones and, of course, the spiked one. We have a lot of places from which we can fall and we have no particular direction that points to our exact goal, so we have to explore a bit by jumping.
However, this level seems a little too quiet and safe. Let's get the danger meter up a little.
Now things are starting to look better. Let's break down what we have here. First off, lots of enemies. Even though in this current design they are not so hard, they can still be pretty annoying. Their placement makes them tough as well. The new thing we have here though is the Trap Door. What does it do ? Well, what a trap door does – it opens and you fall through it. Pretty simple. Thing is here, that you fall to another region in the level. This sets you back and in some cases, that's a lot. I thought of including a trap door that leads to a spiked platform, though I trashed that. You can experiment if you want though. And last but not least, we have our first dead end – in the far left of the corner, just underneath the key platform. What's it's use? Well, to make you explore more. It is actually a really probable path to go down.
After you've collected your key, you can go past the door and complete the three levels.
The Camera
This is an important point here. In this design, I had my mind set on the camera to reveal only a small portion of the level. There are a lot of platformers that show big parts of the stage, however that's not a path I want to go through with. What should be a good camera view here is the standard "Super Mario Bros" kind of thing (again, using this game only for a reference) where the camera is following our character throughout the level. However, in this regard, we should keep the line of sight a bit smaller. I'd say that for this design, I would want a camera that would be three character forward jumps in width (that's calculated on a basis where the camera is not following the player) and two character normal jumps in height.
Interesting Points
Normally this kind of game would include a scoring point system. I've purposely left that out as the article is getting too big and the information might get too much.
There are other points to be made here, like number of player lives, timers etc., however, I'm going to leave this out as well. This is something that has to come after playing your own product and seeing just how hard you've made it.
The Platformer is a good genre to experiment. You can also put it on all sorts of devices and still have similar gameplay experience.
Experiment with these kind of games – it can benefit you a lot.

Hey guys,
I've had my ride for about a month now and love it. Coming over from the Honda world I've noticed a huge difference but can't wait to see where it leads. I live in Sussex County NJ and see tons of people cruising around. Figured I'd join the forum and start meeting some fellow enthusiasts. I'm a freelance photographer and can't wait to meet up and start shooting some cars.

The Rolling Stones Board recently awarded Gila Conservation Education Center (GCEC) a check in the amount of $500.00 to be used for the education of students at the Gila Water Festival. For those of you that are not aware of it, the Rolling Stones in the spring of each year has a station at the GCEC Water Festival in which we acquaint the students with information and techniques on how and where to pan for gold. It is a very popular station at the water festival. Students pan for gold (aka brass BB's) and many of the kids take their treasures home with them.
The Board of the Rolling Stones decided that the GCEC is a worthwhile cause as it educates the students of Grant County in the Ecology and Geology of the Gila River. The award will be used to purchase supplies and to help with transportation costs for the project.

My cousin "Lil' Elizabeth" (even though she is WAY taller than me, I still call her little), is getting pinned next Saturday! I'm so excited for her. She is going to be a full fledged nurse and I think she will be terrific at it. I'm am so proud of her.
So this is her congrats card. Why a fairy? Because she has a beautiful tattoo on her back of a fairy, and when I saw this Woodland Nymph by Chesney Young, it immediately reminded me of her.
Details: digistamp from Squigglefly colored with Copics, nesties and Mustard Seed Ranger Ink for shading, K&Co Wild Saffron DP, sewing, pop-dots, Inkadinkado sentiment, and sketch is Splitcoaststampers SC292.
My DH is finally back from Kansas tonight. My FIL was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, so DH was by his side for the entire week. BTW, my FIL came through just fine but will require more surgeries soon. This week has been exhausting. It makes me realize that I might be over exaggerating a bit when I tell DH "you never do anything around here!" Don't tell him, but I guess he really does do a "few" things here and there that make my life easier. I don't like learning lessons the hard way!

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are Adorably Awkward
Just say you two are dating...
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield have been dating for almost three years, but are very careful about keeping their relationship private. They rarely talk about each other publicly, and when they do talk about one another, it's about their joint movies, "The Amazing Spider-Man" franchise.
So...when they were asked about their relationship while on "The Ellen Degeneres Show," things got awkward.
Stone and Garfield were joined by co-star Jamie Foxx who decided to join Ellen and help her make the couple squirm in their seats.
In one segment, Ellen asked if any costars need to share a room...the question was directly aimed at the couple. "I know there is a budget," Ellen said, "do any of the co-stars have to share a hotel room or anything?"
To which Foxx chimed in, "yeah, what do you guys do?," getting a response from Garfield, who joked, "you know the answer to that because we've been sharing a bedroom."
In another segment, Ellen commented on Stone and Garfield's chemistry after showing a kissing scene from their upcoming movie, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise Of Electro."
"Do you all rehearse," Ellen asked. "Before you kiss, do you kiss to make sure you kiss okay?"
At this point during the interview, Garfield was drinking his water as if he'd just walked through the desert...a little nervous there Spidey?
Hey Stone, Garfield, y'all are an adorable couple and the world knows you're together, don't be so shy about it!
Although, we sort of like their hesitation and awkwardness regarding questions towards their relationship...it makes them seem a little more real.

Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam has always tended to do things a little differently–and back in the early days of the band, he tried to be really different. This was back when Pearl Jam were very much about being a "band of the people." On October 18, 1993, he gave out his phone number during an internationally-syndicated radio show.
For the next ten days, he spent about 3 hours a day taking calls from fans who would often get to hear Eddie sing weird little songs like "Don't Pick Up that Fork." That phone number was disconnected just before Halloween 1993—but many people were shocked to find themselves talking to Eddie during that ten day stretch. Can you imagine him doing that today?

Marlene Dietrich lived in this original old Berlin House from 1894 in her early days.
The apartment is located in the famous district Schöneberg. In the roaring 1920s, Schöneberg was the neighbourhood of artists and musicians of Berlin. The neighbourhood around Nollendorfplatz in particular was known for elaborate parties and a casual lifestyle. To this day, modern clubs like Goya build on the atmosphere of that time.
Winterfeldplatz, which hosts the city's largest food market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, lies directly to the south. Around the square and on nearby side streets, there are plenty of cafes and bars.
Another Place of interest is Schöneberg town hall. After the division of Germany, it was the political centre of West Berlin. This is where Kennedy uttered the famous words, 'ich bin ein Berliner'. To the south of the town hall, the long Rudolf-Wilde park is a good option for a leisurely stroll.
Schöneberg has a good connection to the neighbouring districts. The U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U3, U4 and U7 go through the district as well as the S-Bahn lines S1 und S41 / S42 (the circle line).
The apartment is right between the U stations Wittenbergplatz and Nollendorfplatz and bus to Bahnhof Zoo and Alexanderplatz only 100 meters away.
FREE PARKING in the streets around the apartment and it's generally not difficult to find a parking lot (not rarely right in front of the door, mostly within a 100-200 m radius).
Host speaks english, german and danish and will be happy to help with tips about nice restaurants, shopping and even a guided tours on bike.

Très bon séjour à Copenhague. Sven nous a chaleureusement accueillis. La chambre est agréable et la salle de bain spacieuse. L'appartement est situé à proximité du métro et du bus. Merci Sven et... Godt nytår igen !
Nous reviendrons !
Many thanks to John and Sven for their warm and loose Art Here you can only feel at home, really great!
The least is just as well your own room with shower / WC, the private balconies / Brand new Loewe LCD TV and BlueRay player.
CONCLUSION: Simple class, Two thumbs up!
Vielen Dank an John und Sven für ihre herzliche und lockere Art. Hier kann man sich nur zu Hause fühlen, ganz toll!
Mindesten genauso gut ist das eigene Zimmer mit Duschbad/ WC, der eigene Balkon/der nagelneue Loewe LCD Fernseher und ein BlueRay Player.
FAZIT: Einfach Klasse, Two thumbs up!
Sven is a nice guy, everything was set when we arrived (coffee, tea on the table, tourist information).
The room is fine, well equiped in terms of TV but the flap let the light goes throught. So it is hard to sleep in the morning.
The location of the appartment is quite OK, the metro is close and the center is in a walking distance ( ~ 10 minutes).
We did not interact much with the host, so nothing in particular to say.
This is a very well situated apartment although not easy to find at first, the room is clean, quiet and warm, also the host Sven has a interesting life story that is a great 'icebreaker' when talking to Danes. I will be staying here again.
The reception was very friendly and nice. Even before there was an understanding by email. I was very pleasantly surprised by the room: it is located in a new building, bright and friendly, clean and great facilities. All new furniture and appliances (TV and music at its best). The bathroom / toilet is also in excellent condition.
Sven Gaul was a good host, who immediately invited me for coffee or tea and gave me tips for getting to know the city of Copenhagen. He had appropriate information material already prepared. For questions he was always available.
The property is located in a nice quiet courtyard of a residential complex. In about 15 minutes you can walk to the center, the old town, museums or in the leisure and pleasure quarters nylon, with pier and many street cafes.
I already wonder if I might hinfahre again next year and can recommend with a clear conscience this great accommodation.
Der Empfang war sehr freundlich und nett. Schon im Vorfeld gab es per Mail eine Verständigung. Ich war sehr positiv überrascht über das Zimmer: es ist in einem Neubau gelegen, hell und freundlich,sauber und toll ausgestattet. Alles neue Möbel und Geräte (TV und Musikanlage vom Feinsten). Das Bad/WC ist ebenso in bestem Zustand.
Sven Gaul war ein guter Gastgeber, der mich gleich zum Kaffee oder Tee einlud und mir Tipps für das Kennenlernen der Stadt Kopenhagen gab. Entsprechendes Info-Material hatte er schon vorbereitet. Für Fragen stand er jederzeit zur Verfügung.
Das Objekt liegt schön ruhig in einem Innenhof einer Wohnanlage. In ca. 15 Minuten ist man zu Fuß im Zentrum, der Altstadt, in vielen Museen oder im Freizeit- und Genußviertel NYHAVEN, mit Schiffsanleger und vielen Straßencafes.
Ich überlege bereits, ob ich vielleicht im nächsten Jahr wieder hinfahre und kann mit ruhigem Gewissen diese tolle Unterkunft empfehlen.
, Good to find accommodation and mega-1A central! Only a bus to Tivoli, or 15min walk. Nice owner, clean, comfortable - just try sebst!
1A-Unterkunft, gut zu finden und megazentral! Nur eine Busstation bis zum Tivoli oder 15Min Fußweg. Netter Vermieter, sauber, angenehm - einfach sebst ausprobieren!
nice little apartment in a prime location. quiet room've slept great. the environment is by far the nicest and busiest quarter.
nettes kleines Appartement in bester Lage. ruhiges Zimmer, hab top geschlafen. die Umgebung ist das mit Abstand schönste und belebteste viertel.
Hello Everybody!
I have to tell you that was an amazing week for me in this flat! Really comfortable, great position, really close to the U-Bahn! The flat is really nice and cosy and John it's a really kind person, always ready to give you more infos about the city and to help you! :) You'll enjoy your stay in Berlin!
we had a great stay at cph! the room was well located (10min from the center) and enjoyable. Sven was very welcoming.
A beautiful apartment, very clean and tastefully decorated, en suite bathroom, direct from the room, enjoyed the outdoor seating at lofty heights overlooking the green, but especially a super-friendly and completely uncomplicated hosts. Highly recommended!
Eine wunderschöne Wohnung, sehr sauber und geschmackvoll, ein eigenes Bad, direkt vom Zimmer aus, habe den Freisitz in luftiger Höhe mit Blick ins Grüne genossen, vor allem aber ein super freundlicher und völlig unkomplizierter Gastgeber. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Because no playoff caliber head coach is going to be enough of a fool to get suckered by a play like that in the playoffs.
Because no playoff caliber head coach is going to be enough of a fool to get suckered by a play like that in the playoffs.
He didn't have to save it for the playoffs, he could have saved it for a close regular season game.
Maybe the point isn't that he wanted to save it?
I think that was mainly to give the Steelers something to think about this week on film. That, in addition to the fake XP last year in the first Steeler game, gives the Steelers something to be concerned about when breaking the film down and potentially slow their XP/FG/punt rush down next week.
I guess Tomlin is a fool for his playoff team last year giving up basically the same play in the 1st game of the season last year
Where did this notion of "saving" plays get conjured up?
You don't save trick plays or fakes. They are situational and not something that's just sprung on another team.
Go to the Ravens web site and listen to Harbs' presser. Koch has a standing directive that if a team shows them an overload, he's to run the ball to the weak side. That's why he did it there. The Raiders overloaded the right side and got burned.
It's not about saving something. If any team shows them the overload, they will run it again.
Lol, Harbaugh can't do anything right can he? He's either a total asshole who is way too conservative and makes terrible in house decisions, and now he makes this call and everyone now thinks he's a disrespectful moron? There is no pleasing anyone lol.
I thought he did it to help hammer Boldin's point of "scoreboard"....
What's to save? There was nothing tricky about that play. Defenses should be looking for it every on field goal. No reason why they can't do it again if they feel they can execute it
Having used it successfully already once this year makes it all the more sneaky if you try it again. No problem with the call at all.

Quantitative easing in the United States after the crisis: conflicting views
The paper deals with the conflicting interpretations of the monetary policy carried out by the Federal Reserve during and after the financial crisis of 2007-08. That policy has been labelled as quantitative easing. The first interpretation of that policy is that the central bank will continue to flood the market with money to cause inflation or at least inflationary expectations. A depreciation would eventually do the same job too. Another interpretation, partially based on Minsky's theory of investment, is that easy monetary policy carried out beyond the lender-of-last-resort intervention might have the aim of sustaining the price of investment and validating firms' plans. In other words, it would be complementary to fiscal policy with the aim of sustaining profits and investment. The problem is that the Kaleckian model Minsky was using hardly corresponds to the present situation of the U.S. economy. The interpretation here proposed is that the aim of monetary policy is the recovery of financial asset prices to sustain banks profits and to restore the value of household wealth. This design might be considered as successful if we look at the recent data. But those signals are not encouraging if we look at long term sustainability of policies. The recovery of stock prices has encouraged speculation on anything possible by the big banks. Moreover the recovery of financial asset prices in contrast to the slow motion of housing prices might increase the already high inequality in wealth distribution.

The term encyclopedia is Greek and derives from the Greek words "circular education". It is essentially a summary of knowledge. The word in all languages is derived from the Greek
, which literally means "the circuit per teaching". Encyclopedias can be General in nature, i.e. to contain articles from sections of many different disciplines or specialise in specific issues
, for example
, encyclopedia of medicine, philosophy, or Law.
asfaleia autokinitou
exasfalisi website is said to be the first to have plans on creating an encyclopedia covering the insurance and
insurance field.
There are also encyclopedias that cover a variety of thematic sections from a particular cultural,
or ideological perspective.
Many dictionaries are encyclopedic in nature, particularly those that relate to a particular field.
In such cases, right under the word "Hotel" for example, it will also have
information regarding other related to the particular word terms, such as
Villas in Corfu
Corfu Hotels
and in some cases even using more than one variations like the
Kerkyra Hotels
and so on.
There are two main methods of organizing encyclopedias: the method of alphabetical order (articles arranged in alphabetical order), or organization by hierarchical
. The first of the two is the
most comonly used
, especially for General projects. The evolving nature of the hierarchical structure of the encyclopedia is highly customizable in digital format suitable for CD-ROM or the hard disk of a computer. This resulted in all great encyclopedias to turn in this
in the late 20th century. Online encyclopedias are potentially dynamic. The new information is added directly, without waiting for a new version, (which happens with the CD-ROM or paper version). The information in a printed encyclopedia necessarily needs some form of hierarchical structure. Traditionally the method used, is the presentation of information sorted alphabetically based on the article title. However with the advent of dynamic electronic publication formats the need of predefined structure is not necessary. Nevertheless, most electronic encyclopedias still offer a range of organizational strategies for the
, per module or alphabetically.

By IANS,
New Delhi : Rwanda, a rising economy located at the crossroads of Central and East Africa, Tuesday pitched for greater trade with India and sought this country's expertise in bolstering its food security and infrastructure sector.
"India is an important opportunity and a growing market. Africa is also on the path of growth. The opportunities are immense," Rwandan Agriculture Minister Agnes M. Kalibata told Indian businessmen and investors at a trade roadshow that kicked off here. The minister focused on food security as a potential area of cooperation.
"Rwanda has been chronically food insecure. We are looking to India which launched a Green Revolution and has managed to create food security for its 1.2 billion people," she said.
Kalibata is leading an 11-member trade delegation to India that includes Clare Akamanzi, chief operations officer of the Rwanda Development Board, Emmanuel Hategeka, permanent secretary in the trade ministry, and chiefs of private companies.
Alluding to the transformation of Rwanda from a nation racked by violence and genocide nearly two decades ago into an investor-friendly vibrant economy, Kalibata underlined key priorities of nation building and invited Indian companies to participate in business and development of her country.
She said there was enormous scope for investment and cooperation in an array of areas, including agriculture, education, health, infrastructure, IT and knowledge industries.
"India has been a preferred partner in capacity building and skill development. We encourage more Indian investment," she said.
The two sides are also seeking to firm deals in agro-processing and packaging, construction, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing of textiles and garments, banking and financial services.
The trade roadshow has been organised by the Rwanda High Commission in India and the Rwanda Development Board in collaboration with the Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises.
The World Bank's Doing Business Report (2010) ranks Rwanda as the top pro-business reformer in the world. It also ranks Rwanda top in East Africa in terms of ease of doing business.
Building upon President Paul Kagame's pro-reforms policies, Rwanda has projected itself as a the strategic launching pad into the East and Central African market of nearly 200 million people with a combined GDP of over $100 billion.

fuel injecton
Some Help Please,
I recently swapped the 305 for a Goodwrench 350 in my 1983 GMC Sierra Classic. This vehicle has the Rochester E4ME in it. I want to put fuel injecton on this vehicle. Can I use after market products or do I need to find a newer truck and use it's injection setup? Or am I just way off base with all of this? This is a California vehicle, so is any of this even possible. Any and all help appreciated.
the aftermarket option will be easier but will also be more expensive....you should see if there is a Holley Commander system for your motor....i'm sure there is since it's a 350
Thanks for the reply. Isn't that the two barrel system that uses the stock intake, or is it the complete setup with the blower type air plenum? I remember that one was around 3 grand and the othe less than 1 thousand. I can always save up for whatever works, I want to know if there will be issues when time comes to smog.
the one that I've always seen is a MPFI system....I'm sure there are all different kinds of systems avalible tho, especially for sbc's
I am not knowledgable of the emissions laws in California tho so I can't help ya
Ok, that is the one with the manifold and and big plenum. I need to talk to a referee, but they are few and far between and it seems as if you need an appointment to just see one. Thanks for the help

ATLANTA, February 5, 2009 – The High Museum of Art presents Reel Life: True Stories from Contemporary Japan, from February 14 through February 28, 2009. The series features three Japanese films, including the critically acclaimed "Hula Girls." The festival is co-sponsored by the Consulate General of Japan in Atlanta.
"The High Museum is pleased to share these touching stories of Japanese life with its audiences," says Linda Dubler, Curator of Media Arts. "Though I did not set out to put together a series based on real stories, after I selected the acclaimed films in this program, I was struck by the fact that all were inspired by actual events. When filmmakers base their scripts on real stories, it's often true that the resulting works vividly mirror the times in which they unfold. Reel Life: True Stories From Contemporary Japan reflects this tendency through a trio films that mix humor and drama in a bittersweet way. Truth and fiction meet, and the result makes for memorable cinema."
The series opens on Saturday, February 14, with Shosuke Murakami's "Train Man," a romantic comedy based on a true story. The film centers on a shy 22-year-old who lives with his parents and spends his leisure time on the internet. While riding the subway one night, he saves an attractive young woman from the harassment of a drunken businessman. To express her gratitude, the woman sends him an expensive Hermès tea set. Smitten but clueless, the young man turns to his online chatroom circle. They advise an extreme makeover, coach him through Romance 101 and help him find the confidence to step out of the virtual world into the real one. New York Times critic Jeannette Catsoulis says "Train Man" is "candy-colored and wide-eyed . . . an unashamedly heart-struck movie . . . directed with touching tenderness." This film is in Japanese with subtitles.
On Saturday, February 21, the series continues with "Hula Girls." The film is set in 1965 in the northern town of Joban. The town's coal mining industry is in recession and local leaders propose transforming Joban into a tourist destination to generate jobs. Their plan to open a Hawaiian- themed spa and resort in chilly Joban is embraced only by a handful of young women who, in defiance of modesty and propriety, show up at an open casting for hula dancers. Under the guidance of a sophisticated dance instructor from Tokyo, the clumsy country girls blossom and become the unlikely leaders of their community's renaissance. Based on a true story, "Hula Girls" was praised by the Toronto Film Festival's catalogue as a "vivid, heartfelt portrait . . . a genuinely moving experience destined to conquer the audience's heart." This film is in Japanese with subtitles.
The series closes on Saturday, February 28, with director Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Nobody Knows." This is a rare film that successfully tells its tale of childhood from the childrens' points of view. Inspired by real events, four kids aged four to twelve are abandoned in a Tokyo apartment by their flighty mother. When she leaves behind cash and a note saying that she'll be gone for awhile, the eldest child takes charge. None of children has ever attended school and they're used to amusing themselves indoors, but being completely on their own is very different. The Austin Chronicle's Marjorie Baumgarten says, "Their predicament is sad although the film is not. Kore-eda captures the irrepressible joys and frivolity of youth, while also showing the benign neglect of the outside world. . . . A gem-like work whose facets gleam and slice through the story with ever-changing glints of understanding and compassion." This film is in Japanese with subtitles.
Film Series Schedule
Unless otherwise noted, all films begin at 8 p.m. and are screened in the Richard H. Rich Theatre. The theatre is located in the Memorial Arts Building, adjacent to the High at Peachtree and 15th Streets in midtown Atlanta (MARTA stop N5.).

Before I start, Just thought you would like to know that I have fixed my gearbox. Also, I went back to Rigoli and had a few 'enhancements to my Rex'. A little trick they done to my car was to reverse the inlet manifold, so now my intercooling plumbing for my front mount could be shortened by about half, therefore less travel for intake temperature, hence cooler air. Because of this, I upped my boost to 30psi. Ran on the dyno.
Before Power: 442hp @ wheels
After Power: 469hp @ wheels
Only drawback, I had to get rid of my air conditioing. The things I do for more Power. hehehe.
Anyway back to my story....
I was driving with a friend in the city, when I couldn't believe my eyes!!! I saw the same Lamborghini Diablo that I lost to due to my bad driving that day. Same guy driving, same plates (DEVIL), this time with a girl in the passengers seat. I see him, and go and chase him, as I was going in a different direction. My mate is like "what the hell are you doin" And I tell him thats the Diablo I lost to when I stuffed my dogbox. He's like, yeah, chase him and show him up in front of everybody.
I finally line up with him at the lights. Theres a few people watching, staring at his ride, laughing at the prospect of me trying to race him. He puts his window down and says to me,
"Back for more tryhard"
I say back at him, "We'll see", and throw him a copy of my timeslip.
He looks at it, and all of a sudden, losses the grin on his face, but he couldn't back out now, as there was quite a crowd. He would look like a *****. So, I hold my revs at 5500rpm, the light goes green, he scrambles for grip for a fraction of a second, not a bad takeoff on his part, but after 1st, I'm 1 car in front. 2nd comes and goes and I'm 2 car lengths in front. I hit the 8500rpm (raised rev limiter) in 3rd and 4th and all I can see is this little overpriced supercar in my rear view, quickly getting smaller. I shutdown at about 220km/h. There was no way I was going to lose to that POS again. And I couldn't believe my eyes again!! He did a ricer flyby after I slowed down. Sorry, that should be pasta flyby (hehehe) In short, I annihaliated him.
Sorry for the long post.
Keep Boosting!

Grinning ear-to-ear as they paddled their oared vessels through the water, the Kardashians got an active start to the weekend by partaking in the Miami Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday morning (September 29).
While the boat rowed by Kim, momager Kris Jenner and PR pal Jonathan Cheban glided along, they ended up being overtaken by the boat containing Olympic great Bruce Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian and the youngest of the five female siblings, Kylie Jenner.
Going all out for the filmed festivities, the Kardashian/Jenner gang sported matching black DASH t-shirts and life vests to match their sleek black and white boat - although Kylie went against the grain by opting for a red t-shirt and hot pink "YOLO" ball cap.
Prior to the event, Kim tweeted a photo with an anticipatory comment reading, "Ready to row #teamDASH."
Meanwhile, Kylie tweeted photos of herself and papa Bruce with half-brother Brandon, one of her and Jonathan, and another of her and fellow red-shirted rowers with the caption, "Going for the gold #miami."
