Air Warrior
The most advanced, realistic air combat simulator available.
You've gotta be good to fly against these guys... or be ready to take the flak.
"262s-low!" Assassin radioed.
Great! We'd caught those Messerschmitt jets just before they'd reached their unstoppable speeds. I ordered the squadron to attack.
Then, out of the corner of my eye- Focke Wulfs! Damn! They'd been waiting up there, but I didn't keep one flight high- a rookie mistake! Now we were all low and slow- meat to those guys.
"Break!" I shouted as I kicked the rudder. As tracer fire flew past me, I jammed the stick into my stomach and felt the Mustang shake as she approached departure. Spin now, this low, and I'm dead; but a gentle turn was not an alternative.
An explosion! Next thing I saw was a Focke Wulf tumbling, belching smoke. "Thought y'all could use a hand," I heard in a soft, Texas accent. It was Killer of the 335th. That voice and handle never went together. The FWs scattered. Time to reacquire those jets.
Only in Air Warrior can you experience air combat with this kind of realism while flying in any of 19 legendary warplanes of the World War II era. And with Air Warrior's options for stand-alone play, head-to-head modem play, and GEnie network/on-line arena play, there's a theater available for every combat pilot from Novice to Ace.
Air Warrior lets you polish your air combat tactics in off-line missions with or against up to ten computer controlled pilots. Film your toughest missions and re-fly them to sharpen your skills even further. Go head-to-head against a friend or foe in modem-to-modem airspace. And once you think you have the mettle for on-line air combat, take to the skies as a "lone wolf" or in a squadron with up to 100 simultaneous combatants from across North America and Japan.
Hey!... No Guts, No Glory!

The 200-Year Plan: Disciple-making
ADDENDUM as of 2/5/09: While I am still excited about the materials I discuss in this post, it is with great sadness that I feel compelled to note I have discovered there are reasons for caution with respect to the sources referenced herein. With respect to Vision Forum Ministries and Doug Phillips, I call your attention to the series of articles at Ministry Watchman and Jen's Gems. And with respect to Geoff Botkin, see Who is Geoffrey Botkin? at the Under Much Grace blog.
As with my previous posts, I can only offer a small fraction of the richness contained in the Vision Forum 200-Year Plan CD set.
In describing how he drafted his own 200-Year Plan, Geoff Botkin said two considerations motivated him in his quest:
- He wanted to make sure he was discipling his own children.
- He wanted to do whatever he could to ensure that he, and his descendents after him, engage in effective multigenerational discipling for the causes he believes in.
As I listened to Botkin speak, it suddenly struck me: Sarita and I have been trained in a certain way, and we enjoy a legacy of training, that only a very small portion of the American Christian population, and an even smaller proportion of the American population at large enjoys. Botkin refers to this training with the word discipleship.
Sarita and I received our training through The Navigators. The emphasis of our trainers was always on discipleship, finding "faithful men"–disciples–whom we could teach, so that they would be equipped "to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2).
Even more than "teaching" these disciples in some kind of academic sense of the term, we were told to look at the example of Jesus, Who, according to Mark 3:14, "appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach."
First, they were with Him, and then He sent them out to preach.*
And here's something that just struck me about disciples being with: In Deuteronomy 6:6 and 7, God tells us that we are supposed to talk with our children about His commandments, His wisdom, "when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up"–in other words, all the time and concerning all things.
And that, I realized, is really at the root of the whole homeschooling movement (a movement in which my wife and I are deeply involved). . . . Now, as the kids get older and move out on their own, discipleship–or disciple-making–is really at the root of legacy planning, too. Or if it's not, it ought to to be.
Homeschooling–and legacy planning–has to do with passing on a mission, vision, purpose . . . and plan.
The work of one generation ought not to end when that generation dies. Instead, it should carry on down through many generations and even gain power as the number of descendants multiplies.
[Doug Phillips emphasizes this "power of multiplication" as he does the math: "Suppose you have three children, and each of those three has three children, and so on and so forth down through eight generations or 200 years. How many descendents would you have in the eighth generation?" he asks. if I've done my math correctly, and you count your three children as the first generation, the eighth generation should have just shy of 6,600 members. increase the number of children, and the math becomes truly mind-boggling. Phillips, for example, has eight children. If you count his eight as Generation #1, and if every child in every generation had eight children--an event that Phillips acknowledges has never happened in history, and, honestly, he really doesn't expect to happen in his own family; but if it did . . . --by the eighth generation, he would have just shy of 17 million progeny. In the eighth generation alone! (How many from generations 5, 6, or 7 will still be alive when Generation 8 is rising to power?) That's a lot of manpower for a cause . . . if they can all be committed to a common purpose.]
So how do you maximize the number of descendants who will hang together to achieve a common purpose? First step: you take explicit and deliberate action to try to instill that common vision, mission, and purpose within Generation #1.
And the first thing you do to make it possible for you to instill these things? Choose your disciples. (I hope they will be your own children.) And then work it out so that, as Jesus did with his disciples, they can be with you, so they can "catch" the values and thoughts and memories that motivate you.
* Want a good book about disciple-making? The Navigators encouraged us to study Walter A. Henrichsen's Disciples Are Made, Not Born. Good stuff!

Why can't I connect my Vita to my PS3?
Whenever I enter Content Manager on my Vita I cannot connect to my PS3. I have it plugged in, and nothing is running and I do not know what to do.
Re: Why can't I connect my Vita to my PS3?
may sound dumb but make sure u connect the cable to the vita correctly bc i had same issue intill i realize i put the cable in wrong make sure the playstation icon on cable is faceing u
Re: Why can't I connect my Vita to my PS3?
I got the same message. I know how to fix it. When you first plug your vita to the ps3, you will get a message on the ps3. Do not press any button on the ps3. If you do, it will take you to the ps3 home page and you will not be able to connect to the vita. If that happens, just unplug the vita from the ps3 and plug it back. You will get the message again on the ps3 tv screen. Now on the vita go to content manager and now it will connect.
Re: Why can't I connect my Vita to my PS3?
Thanks AwesomeShockWave.. couldn't figure that out. It was getting pretty irritating. I'd say using the Vita is far, far from intuitive.

Thu, 1 Jul 2010 09:43:08 -0700 (PDT)
Hi, Martin,
Thanks for your information! it's very helpful!
Then could you tell me whether I should use sqreg or qreg before grqreg if I
want to get a graph plotting all the coefficients before weight for quantile
0.1,0.2,...,0.9 regression? The confidence bands in two graphs are
Another question, if I want to get quantile regression estimates for
quantile 0.1,0.2,0.3,..., should I use qreg for each quantile respectively
or use sqreg? I compare the results from qreg and sqreg, the values of
estimates are the same, and the differences are standard errors, but this
make a big difference when we consider about the significance. So which
standard error is more reliable? qreg or sqreg? And is standard error the
only difference between qreg and sqreg?
Many thanks.

For the last couple of nights, I've found 20 - 30 dead ticks on my dog's bedding when he gets up each morning. I clean them up, and then there are more back again the next morning.
My dog is outside in my yard for most of the day and sleeps on this bedding in his crate inside our house at night. I recently switched him from Frontline to Vectra 3D. The first dose of Vectra was applied around 7 days ago. He's a 7 month old goldendoodle puppy.
What's going on here? I'm guessing that maybe he's picking up ticks during the day, then the Vectra 3D kills them overnight and they drop off in his crate? Or, since all of the ticks look fully engorged maybe the Vectra just isn't working and they're dropping off on their own because they're full?
Either way, how can I stop this? It's pretty gross to see a pile of ticks in your house every morning, and we're also worried that they're dropping off in other places as he walks through the house.

Bad Ass Bob takes most hits like a champ! The only downside of this dummy would its inability to take serious power strikes or kicks. The first back kick drove this dummy half-way across my basement despite being full of water. Overall it was easy to put together and the quality is very good.

I purchased this item to add variety to my workout. I'm really enjoying the diversity it adds but wish the screws to secure the torso to the post was better. I put on my favorite music and punch to the beat. Sometime during the 3rd song, I hear a screw fall out. I have to stop the wonderful rhythm and sweating I've got going, take off my gloves, find the screwdriver and replace the screws. I also have to re-tighten all the others because they're getting ready to fall out too. This is irritating but, I enjoy punching this guy so much that I will keep him. I just chalk the loose screws up to me having a more powerful punch than I realized. Also, you may need a 2nd person to help secure bob to the post as it's very difficult to hold the torso in place and screw the screws in at the same time.I had no problem filling the base with sand because I had a plastic container, that after cutting a hole in the bottom to match the fill hole, made it very quick and easy. Bob is sitting on a small rug in my garage and stays in place, waiting for his next punch.

I bought this for my fiance for Christmas. It has become his favorite workout companion. Our children also enjoy being allowed to beat the crap out of something without getting in trouble. I have swung a few times...but I'm a feable woman. :)

My son loves this, even though you can hear the echoing when he punches the living crap out of this, he is having fun with his workouts...which is important. We have this on our basement, filled with water at the base and have no problems with it so far. It seems sturdy, the rubber top is great for punching and kicking without worrying about injuring your hands or feet. It was extremely easy to assemble and this will last for a while. If you are looking for something to build your upper body, this is a great idea. It will give also give you the benefits of cardio while sparring with this. I am happy with this purchase.

I've had this for about a month and I am pleased with it so far except the fact that 1 of the 6 screws that hold the body to the stand keeps popping out when I try to practice throwing knees to the side of the body. I'm going to try using some loctite thread locker to see if that corrects the problem. As for the product otherwise I'm very pleased. I had to wrestle with it a little to get the screws to line up to attach the body and I filled it with over 200 pounds of sand which took about 3 hours but after all that it's exactly what I expected to be. A human looking punching bag that's a good workout and fun to hit. I've seen other models that only have 2 screws in back, which is what I would have gotten had I known beforehand how this thing mounts up but it's working fine so far. I really like that you can adjust the hieght and that it's quick and easy to do so.After using some loctite on the loose screw I no longer have the problem with it popping out. I use this product about 3 times a week now and it's holding up pretty well. I would recommend this punching bag to anyone in the marke for one.

Poor Bob. He takes so much abuse. But he handles the fists, elbows, and knees like a champ. He's been a lot of fun to work with and I found the construction to be of very high quality and versatile with the ability to add water or sand to the base. If you're into martial arts, Bob is worth the money.

Lomography Embassy Store, Santiago2013-10-17 1 5 Share Tweet
The first Lomography Embassy store in Latin America was opened in 2008. The aim is to show the world of Lomography to the people in Chile, act as a meeting point, make people get to know the colorful world of our cameras, and talk about any question a Lomographer could have.
Which one is your favourite Lomography camera and why?
My favourite camera is the LC-A, I like the compact nature of the camera that allows me to carry it with me anywhere I go. It stopped me from thinking "hey, this could have been a nice shot" to actually getting all of those amazing colorful images. The lens is great quality and the automatic exposure metering makes everything very easy. To make it short: this is my all day every day camera.
What's the weirdest Lomographic moment you've ever had?
There are lots of weird moments, one of my favourites is without any doubt when older people discover and get excited about the Diana camera. For them it's like a flashback to their childhood and this actually makes them share personal stories which they would have never told otherwise.
What is the nerdiest question you've ever been asked in your shop?
Generally the typical questions are: where can I see the photos? You are still selling film? Followed by: where can I get the film developed? Does it take nice pictures? Finally you end up telling about the romantic side of analogue photography and the beauty of possessing analogue prints in comparison to thousands of digital images in your computer.
Where is the best place to shoot some Lomographic masterpieces in your city?
The city and its rhythm is always a nice invitation for photography. I'm not the person that goes to specific place and takes some pictures, my approach is much more impulsive, i see something i like and i take the picture. Anyways, if I had to recommend a certain place in Santiago I'd say the centre because of the diverse architecture. It starts with newer buildings like the "palacio de gobierno la moneda", from there you can walk and discover the "plaza de armas" witzh its artists and lots of pigeons until you reach beautiful "parque florestal" which offers the "museo bellas artes" and "museo de arte contemporaneo".

350 chevy final touches
I have a 350 chevrolet engine thats going into my Chevy Monza. This will be mildly built street car that i would like bring to the strip sometimes. The information on the car is following.. It's 2800 lbs and has 4.11 gears and spool. It sits on 275/65-15 tires and the transmission is th350 that has shift kit and 2400 stall b&m holeshot converter.
Engine is a 1974 sbc 350 out of a Blazer. The block is 4 bolt mains, the rods are stock with orginal bolts. It has stock cast dish pistons. But the short block is recently assembled and in good condition. Compression will be 9:1 since i will use steel shim head gasket and 64cc aluminum heads 215cc with 2.08"/1.6" valves. 1.6 roller rocker arms. The intake manifold is edelbrock performer rpm, non air gap version. On top of the intake manifold is 1/2" phenolic spacer and a holley 750 cfm dp carb. The engine will have 1.5/8" long tube headers with dual 2.1/2" exhaust with flowmaster 40 mufflers. As you may have noticed i haven't purchased a camshaft yet. I have been looking over that for the past few days. And like the comp cams xe268 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft for my strong street application. But would like to get your advice about my engine build.
Best regards.
I also have a set of cast iron heads #624 that i could use, to get sone low end power. because the aluminum heads might be to big for the street. If i would use these cast iron heads i would need to mill them to get similar compression ratio as i would with them 64cc heads. Does anybody know how much milling is needed to shave off 1cc ?
Engine build
The 1974 350 block with 4 bolt mains is a good start. But you don't say whether you had the block to a machine shop to be checked. I also assume you didn't have the rods re-sized since you mentioned stock rod bolts. Nothing wrong with stock cast pistons if you checked them making sure they are not out of round or cracks between lands. Intake is fine for 200cc heads. 215cc heads recommend a single plane intake. XE268 cam is small for the heads and converter. Also my opinion the 1 5/8 headers seem small for the 215cc heads. Holley 750 is good. With your setup on bottom end I would not rev over 5500 rpms.
GM 462624 heads
Read what these guys say on small block head 462624 at http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78709
heads are mismatched for the combo but better than the 624s. if go bigger on the cam if you can get more converter. and go roller if you can, mechanical flat if cost is a concern, you need all the lift you can get on those big ports.
You got any ideas what kind of solid roller cam would suit my combo as it is right now, with current converter and aluminum heads ap?
Comp Cams mechanical roller cams
Go to Comp Cams website to use CamQuest software. Part# 12-769-8 grind# XR268R would give you 361.8 hp @ 5000 rpms and 413.9 torque @ 4000 rpms. XR274R 12-770-8 would give you 367.5 hp @ 5500 and 405.3 torque @ 4000 rpms. If buying the kit add a K in front of the part #. Comp. list the kit for $955.06, this includes cam, lifters, springs, retainers & locks, push rods, and timing chain & gears. A mechanical flat kit K12-677-4 is similar with peak hp 361.4 @ 5500 and peak torque 400.6 @ 4000 priced at $451.30 with same parts included in the mech roller kit above.
You're at the limit for the stock rod bolts. Get ARPs for a little security.
I spoke to them at Comp Cams, They recommended the Xtreme energy # 12-769-8.
The only thing that bothers me about that particular camshaft is that's it's not ground on a billet core. or is that no issue.
Heads are Edelbrock Victor JR. 215cc. 2.08"/1.6 valves. I also do have a victor intake to match, but i feel that the dual plane intake might be better for my car because of those big heads, and that low stall converter.
I have also been looking at the 268 Comp Cams Magnum # 12-700-8, But i'm not sure if there are any gains to have for running a single pattern camshaft vs dual pattern on the street.
Also i do have a question regarding distributor timing, is it better to run the timing locked out vs mechanical advance, MSD Pro Billet distributor ?
Take care...

The heart is a muscular organ which pumps blood throughout the body. The right side of the heart receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and then pumps that blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen. The left side of the heart receives the oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and then pumps that blood to the rest of the body.
The human heart has four chambers—two upper chambers and two lower chambers. The upper chambers are called atria. The lower chambers are called ventricles.
Blood moves through the four chambers as the heart pumps. There are four valves which control the flow of blood through the heart. They are called the aortic valve, the mitral valve, the pulmonary valve, and the tricuspid valve. With each beat, the valves open and close to keep blood moving in the right direction. Their proper function keeps blood moving easily.
A heart valve is made up of strong, thin pieces of tissue called leaflets. The leaflets are attached to a tough, fibrous band of tissue called the annulus. The annulus provides strength and support to the valve leaflets and helps to maintain the normal shape of the valve. Valve leaflets can be compared to doors opening and closing. The annulus can be compared to the door frame.
Sometimes, a heart valve doesn't open or close properly, disrupting normal blood flow. When a heart valve does not open properly, it is called stenosis. When a heart valve does not close properly, it is called insufficiency (or regurgitation). On occasion, a heart valve can have both stenosis and regurgitation. These problems can affect any of the four heart valves.
Some valve problems are congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life. Causes of acquired heart valve disease include
Many people who have heart valve disease do not have symptoms. The severity of symptoms do not necessarily relate to how serious heart valve disease is. Symptoms can occur quickly if heart valve disease develops suddenly. Symptoms can occur gradually, and worsen over time as heart valve disease worsens.
Common symptoms of heart valve disease can include:
If you think you might have heart valve disease, talk to your doctor. If you have been diagnosed with heart valve disease, it is important for you to know your symptoms and to monitor them for any changes. If you notice any worsening symptoms or new symptoms, tell your doctor immediately.
A doctor may suspect heart valve disease if they hear a heart murmur. A heart murmur is the sound blood makes when it moves through a valve that does not open or close properly.
To determine the type and seriousness of heart valve disease, the following tests may be ordered:
Click here for more information about these and other diagnostic tools.
There are various treatment options for heart valve disease depending on the severity of the disease and the specific problem experienced. Treatment options include:
Medications cannot currently cure heart valve disease. However, medication and lifestyle changes can often successfully treat and delay valvular heart problems for many years. Depending on the severity of the problem, medication may be all that is needed for some time.
Heart valves that are stiff and do not open fully can be repaired using a procedure called valvuloplasty. This procedure is done by a cardiologist in the cardiac catheterization lab. A catheter which has a balloon at the tip is passed through blood vessels to the faulty heart valve. The balloon is then inflated within the valve to help widen the opening of the valve. The balloon is deflated and the wire is removed from the body. The patient is awake during this procedure but is given medication to relax them and make them groggy. Balloon valvuloplasty can relieve many of the symptoms of heart valve disease, but it is not a cure. The condition can worsen over time. Medications may be needed to treat symptoms. If it does continue to worsen, another procedure or surgery may be needed to repair or replace the valve. Balloon valvuloplasty is less invasive than surgery and the recovery time is much shorter with balloon valvuloplasty than for surgery.
The Marshfield Clinic and Ministry Health Care heart care team is the first program in northern and central Wisconsin to offer a new procedure called Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). This revolutionary, catheter-based procedure can implant an artificial aortic valve entirely from within the heart—without open-heart surgery. The special, expandable valve is made by Edwards Lifesciences Company.
The procedure is done in a hybrid cath lab/OR suite and is performed by the cardiologist and cardiovascular surgeon. A wire with the artificial valve at the tip is threaded through blood vessels to the aortic valve in the heart. The artificial valve is placed in the diseased natural aortic valve and seated on top of it. The wires are then pulled back through the blood vessels and taken out of the body. This procedure is much less invasive than surgery, but it is typically reserved for those patients who have aortic stenosis but who are not good candidates for open-heart surgery. In the past, these patients had little hope for long term survival. Individuals may refer themselves (or be referred by their doctors) to the Marshfield Clinic and Ministry Health Care heart care team to find out if they are a candidate for this procedure.
Surgically repairing a valve may be recommended. The cardiovascular surgeon performs this surgery in the operating room of the hospital. Repairing the valve can prevent chronic damage to the heart and other problems associated with valve disease. Heart valve repair is usually preferred over heart valve replacement. However, heart valve repair is not always possible. It is dependent upon the severity of the patient's valve disease, age, general health and whether additional surgery is needed for other heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease. Valve repairs preserve the strength and function of the heart muscle. People who have valve repair also have a lower risk of infectious endocarditis after surgery. With a valve repair, a patient does not need to be on blood-thinning medicines for the rest of their life.
Repairing the natural valve is not always possible. In these cases, the heart valve will be replaced using a manmade or biological valve. Biological valves are made from pig, cow or human heart tissue, and may have manmade parts as well. These types of valves are specially treated to prevent the body from rejecting the valve without requiring anti-rejection medicine.
Manmade, mechanical valves typically last longer than biological valves. They usually do not need to be replaced. Biological valves usually have to be replaced after 10-15 years. Some may last longer. With a manmade or mechanical valve, patients are required to take blood-thinning medications for the rest of their life. The blood-thinning medicines prevent blood clots from forming on the valve. Blood clots can cause heart attack or stroke, so it is very important to continue to take the medicine. Mechanical valves can also increase the risk of infectious endocarditis. There are many considerations to take into account when deciding whether to use a biological valve or a manmade/mechanical valve. The patient, cardiologist and cardiovascular surgeon will make the decision about which type of valve is best in each individual situation.
Leaks can form around replacement valves over time. The traditional treatment is open heart surgery to install a second replacement valve. Percutaneous Paravalvular Leak Closure provides an option that avoids the extra risks of major surgery. Instead, this advanced procedure uses an expandable plug put in place using catheters that are threaded into the heart through major blood vessels. In October of 2011, the Marshfield Clinic and Ministry Health Care heart care team performed (what is believed to be) the first Percutaneous Paravalvular Leak Closure in the region.

Very lovely apartment and very helpful owner right in the centre of Rome. Ancient Rome and the historic city district are within walking distance. The apartment offers everything you need. Flexible Check-in and Check-out times are also a great plus. Matteo even provides you with a full list of restaurant reccomendations in the area. All in all very recommendable!
A very nice apartement with everything we needed.
The host, Matteo, was very kind and had bougth breakfast for us for the first morning, because we arrived late.
He could reccomend good places to eat (and the best ice-creamshop!), map of where to find supermarkets, good introduktion to the apartement (especially nice to know how to make coffe ;) ) and was on time for check-in /out.
The apartement is close to everything, and if the feet are getting tired the metro (Cavour) and the busses are very close.
Next time we go to Rome, we will defenetly stay here again :)
Our family found Matteo's apartment a great base from which to explore Rome. We were easily able to walk to the apartment from the train station in 15 minutes and all the major highlights (except for the Vatican) were in easy walking distance too. Matteo and Maria were very welcoming hosts and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They have a strong sense of hospitality. We were very glad to have found their apartment for our Roman holiday.

We arrived late at the apartment but matteo and maya were still waiting for us to arrive. They gave us a little tour and the apartment looked great! They also gave us a list of nice restaurants even though we noticed that wasnt really necessary as the very nice neighborhood holds many great places to eat and drink! also is the apartment located at walking distance from almost all great roman sites! All in all we had a great stay in rome and when we return we would definitely want to stay at this apartment again!
The centrally located apartment was beautiful and cleany. It was nice to stay there. It was not far away from the colosseum and all the other sights, or to the city centre to go shopping. All places are within walking distance.
Matteo is a very friendly man. He was waiting in front of the apartment for our arrival, although we were to late. You could call him, if you have any questions.
Finally we can absolutely recommend this apartment and locking forward to see Matteo again.
Appartement fonctionnel, confortable, et très propre. Accueil chaleureux et informations utiles! Très bonnes indications pour s'y rendre!
Bien situé pour visiter le centre historique à pied ou en métro!
Avons adoré notre semaine de 8 jours à Rome en nous sentant comme chez nous!
Lage und Ausstattung des Apartments waren sehr gut. Die "sogenannte" Kaffeemaschine war allerdings ein kleines italienisches Espressogerät, für uns nicht geeignet Frühstückskaffee zu bereiten.
Check-In durch Matteo war angenehm und ausführlich. Check-Out fiel aus wegen Autopanne, was aber durch Info über e-Mail kein Problem war.
O apartamento è uma graça e de muito bom-gosto. O Matteo uma pessoa muito gentil e disponível. Ele até providencia um simpático kit de café da manhã. Único senão é a falta de luz natural na sala. Se você vai passear o dia todo e só volta para casa à noite, beleza. Se você, como foi o meu caso, precisa ficar por lá durante o dia, complica um pouco.
L'appartamento è molto carino e di ottimo gusto. Matteo è molto gentile e disponibile. Vi lascia persino tutto l'occorrente per una colazione. Unico appunto è la mancanza di luce naturale in salotto. Se vai a spasso tutto il giorno e rientri solo la sera, va benissimo. Ma se tu, come nel mio caso, dovessi rimanere lì durante il giorno per lavorare, le cose si complicano un poco.

Horrid experience from enrollment until cancellation!
These folks promise GREAT wines and delivered te equivalent of vinegar! nasty at the very very best!
Then after calling in to complain about ther sub-par quality of what I received versus what I was promised in the advertising, I was billed again for the same wine shipment!
I called in to customer service and was informed that I would need to complete a hyperlinked form and I would hear back in 10-21 days. I was advised to attach a screen shot of my account statemrnt. Interestingly enough, no option to attach anything is available on the form!
After a one minute conversation with my card issuer, I was advised that this had happened with other "members" of the same wine club. My card issuer immediately refunded the charge and contracted local law enforcement for further investigation.
buyer bewar! ALWAYS look for review of any and all "clubs" you may be invited to join. Wish I had done so BEFORE enrolling in this scammy club that delivers customer service as poor as the vinegar wines it hawks as "premium" and high end.

Fairbanks police seek leads in 2013 fire death
Fairbanks police are appealing to the public for new information on the fire death of a man in 2013.
Johnny Druck Wallis on Jan. 1, 2013, was found on fire on the floor of the city's downtown post office.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://bit.ly/UUxwK9) reports Wallis died four days later.
Police are seeking information on a man who had been with Wallis.
Employees of a restaurant, Bobby's Downtown, spotted the fire. They crossed Third Avenue to put out the flames.
Police say they have found no evidence that anyone held a grudge against Wallis.
Investigators found no evidence that the fire was set with an accelerant such as gasoline.

I'm usually not a fan of shows like these but when you throw in a strong dose of sex appeal like Jenny's stellar chest region, my attention is definitely focused. So enjoy the great clips below and try not to break anything while you watch them. A round of applause to Pariah for this special treat!

Great story sixto.
A while back I had picked up my mail on the way to get my hair cut. Very small town one chair shop with a lady barber. Had just picked up my latest copy of American Rifleman so I just carried it into the shop, figured I would read it if I had to wait. No wait that day so I laid the American Rifleman on the barber's counter and sat back in the chair.
"Oh, my husband just got his copy" So the conversation of the day was guns in general and the importance of carrying. Neither one of us told but I almost got the feeling that she may had have a gun real handy. I did.

Chapter One
Only two things could lure a thinking man to Whiskey Falls in January, money or women. Since Molly Watkins didn't have much in the way of the first, she supposed the filthy scoundrel at her outdoor Soap Parlor must have come for the latter.
"You best take your grubby paw off her bosom and get the hell out of here before I make a hole in you," Molly Watkins aimed her modified Henry directly between the eyes of the man lusting after her hired help.
Guffawing, the scoundrel held up a nickel that sparkled in the moonlight. His arm still wrapped firmly around the young girl's waist. "I got my money right here. Sign says five cents."
"That's for the laundry, you fool."
The girl wiggled free from his sordid clutches, slapped him on the hand, and spit on his boot.
"Why don't you go inside, Mercy. This won't take but a minute."
Molly waited as the seething girl stomped inside before persisting with her tirade. "And you're gravely mistaken if you think this is the kind of place where you can purchase a woman for your own satisfaction." Molly shivered beneath her dress and two layers of thermals. "This is a Soap Parlor. That means we have a steam laundry and hot soapy baths for paying customers."
The scoundrel turned his head to eye the bathtub percolating behind him. Adjacent to the steam parlor was Molly's latest invention, a laundry machine she constructed from discarded machine parts. It stood silent now after a long day of repetitive use.
"Ha!" His eyes jiggled like a fishing bob. "That's nothin' more than a blazing heap of tractor scraps." He belly laughed. "Got any marshmallows?"
Molly's lips twisted themselves at the corners, like barbed wire. Now she really wanted to shoot him. "Listen here, you twit. You best vacate these premises before I lodge a bullet in that empty head of yours. And I don't aim to miss."
The ghostly gap between his yellowed teeth reminded her of Tuckerman's Ravine, a place in the mountains where a discouraged man might lose his way during lean times. About thirty days of straggly beard growth sprouted on his smoke-stained face. Steam from the bath ascended behind a cap-covered crop of greasy hair. A reaper waiting on a fresh corpse. Hands grooved by decades of timber work slithered towards the pistol that hung loosely at his side.
Piney soldiers, rooted in frozen earth behind them, shielded a secret.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a voice, sated with confidence, called out from within the tangled cover of dutiful branches.
Molly twitched; a gun cocked in the night.
"I don't need your help, Mister. Got this one right where I want him." Her arms trembled between the weight of the gun and the chill of January. She cocked her own gun in return, planted two fur-clad boots into the mealy snow and let her tongue rest again her top lip; her traditional shooting stance.
Evidence of his ominous situation flowed down the scoundrel's leg, saturating a pair of tan trousers. Shaking, the demoralized nuisance tossed away his pistol and put his hands in the air.
"Is this man your partner?" Molly called out to the voice in the trees.
"No," he scoffed back. "And I find your implication of such to be offensive."
The scoundrel pouted.
"If you're here to question me about my machine…or for the recipe for my soap powder, you can just turn around and…"
A tree of a man stepped out from the shadows, clad in a fur rug and dark heavy boots. He blocked out the moon. The scoundrel's back stiffened.
"Been tracking a man…a wanted man. Lost his trail at the edge of the ice."
Molly nodded. "You some kind of bounty hunter?" She kept the Henry pointed at the scoundrel. Elements of surprise were key ingredients for disaster- having learned the hard way once, she wasn't taking any chances now.
"Something like that, Miss." He offered a nod.
"Dangerous profession."
"I reckon." He paused, sighed. "But I suppose it was lucky for them bandits they didn't wander into your yard. Looks like you could've taken him down yourself."
The scoundrel chortled. "As if. She probly' couldn't hit a mountain if she was standin' on it."
Lightning flashed from the muzzle of Molly's Henry.
The stricken man howled on his way to the ground, dropping like a sack of potatoes.
"Damn, I thought I fixed that hair trigger." Sarcasm soothed her mordant nerves; a smirk burgeoned.
"Apparently not," the tree quipped, eyebrows dancing at the spectacle before him.
Molly placed a boot and the weight of her wrath onto the chest of the fallen man when he tried to get up. "Hold it right there, cowboy." She lowered the gun to within a few inches of his face. After a moment he opened one dark eye; sheepishly followed by a second wayward one. Covering his face with his forearms, he cowered, drawing the knit cap that had been poised aloft his head down over his grimy forehead.
"Next time you find yourself fortunate enough to be in the company of a woman, treat her with respect," she scolded, jabbing the gun tip into his chest; reiterating her point.
The scoundrel struggled to his feet, breathless. "You almost killed me," he snorted while poking a finger through the large hole that started in the front of the cap and went clear through to the back.
Without warning or permission, the tree grabbed one of the scoundrel's wrists from mid-air, and then the other, before flipping him onto the ground like a farmer with a calf for branding. A knee held down the writhing body while he joined his hands behind his back. He stood back up, pleased. "I can take this one off your hands," he huffed, giving a forceful yank and pulling the scoundrel to his feet with little effort.
The scoundrel grunted in pain through gritted teeth; a rabid fox.
An explosion rocked the ground below their feet. Shards of metal, entwined with dirty snow, rained back down to earth.
"Take cover," the tree bellowed, pushing the scoundrel to the ground, face planting him on a mound of undisturbed snow. Giant branches swatted at Molly, swishing her to safety in a deeper bank of snow. A winter storm filled her britches; cold and wet, matching her current disposition.

The problem is not the motor, but the screw assembly has worn out gears. That is why the motor tests out OK.
Thanks for the comment. I knew the motor had to be riveted in place and suspected that the hand held hardware rivet tool (with aluminum rivets) was not going to work. I gave up because the window was up and I needed to lower it to get the roller out of the track.
The long and short of it though is, believe it or not, I moved the truck this evening and the dang window goes up and down smoothly and without a loss of speed.
So clearly, a motor I do not need.
There must be a loose connection somewhere. The connections to the switch are good and the connections to the motor are tight also. There cannot be many other places where connections can be found....as I am looking at the wiring diagram........pg

Chain saw
I'm looking for a good reliable 16in chain saw. For around $100-$150.
Just for lite-moderate work around the yard.
I have a Mcculough 1635 right now, that does not run right, keeps stalling, and they want $70 for a tune up. Would do it myself, but adjustment are hard to make on these chainsaes.
So looking for another.
Any suggestions
Stihl 180 is the best to get. Or a Husqvarna.
For that low a price and that long a blade, good luck trying to find those two brands.
Both good saws, just higher priced.
I've own two of the Poulan Pro's I bought factory reconditioned on this site and the only issue I've ever had is the oil pump leaking after a few years.
i would try echo. Never used but they are probably good.
I have owned several "low cost" 16 inch chain saws in my life, none of them has ever worked out well. I had a Poulan and a low end Husqvarna, I guess I used them too hard, they wore out after a couple years. Now I have a Stihl Farmboss, cost about $400, and I have a 20 inch blade on it. Probably will last a long time. Not sure who makes a good quality low cost chainsaw anymore, I know the low end Husqvarna saws are poorly made, they vibrate too much, and the threads stripped out on the spark plug on mine. I am told the high end Husqvarna saws are still good, but I like my Stihl.
Ayuh,.... I don't think yer expectations can be met,...
Reliable, don't come that cheap,...
My saws are Stihls, 'n they Ain't cheap,...
+1 on the Stihl saws.
I've had a Stihl 028 super for over twenty years now. I don't use it that often, but when I do, it fires right up and will idle all day long, and cut like a son of a gun.
Mike Hawkins:)
For the OP, I don't think there's anything that will fit your needs, at least not the reliability part unless you consider buying an electric chainsaw. That's about the most reliable saw in the bar size and price range you mention. Obviously, portability can be limited with them though........
This could also be an option, but it's as small as I'd ever consider buying......
Look on ebay,...
Hardly worth the time, 'n effort to rebuild 'em anymore,...
Spending a little extra on a chainsaw is always worth it. Stihl and Husqvarna are the go to. Echos are crap IMO. The carbs suck and they always have fueling issues. We had Echo vent saws for years which never worked when you needed them. Finally got rid of them for Cutter's Edge saws.
Stihl and Husky as well.
Have a Stihl and other Husky power tools.
Check Craigslist. You can't kill them if they are modestly maintained.
Nevermind, I just got done fixing my mcculloch. I guess just fixing what you got is the better plan.
Thanks for all the info

My echo has been great! Also a big husqvarna fan -- now that lowes has them they are easy to get parts.

Who we work with
Financial services
Since 2004 we have worked with the majority of the UK's leading financial services providers, including eight of the ten largest banks and credit card suppliers, giving us unrivalled understanding of the sector and its needs. Now more than ever, no matter what the debt management challenge is, information-based credit risk strategies are needed. An analytically driven strategy based on customer segmentation and market intelligence will achieve both the best returns and compliance to regulatory standards by avoiding an ineffective and inappropriate 'one size fits all' approach.View sector
With £1.75 billion of retail energy debt on our debt placement and management platform (PLATO), we manage more final debt for the energy sector than any other UK organisation. This gives us unparalleled insight into how energy customers behave when in arrears, enabling us to help energy companies improve liquidation performance, while ensuring fair treatment of their customers. We can help identify optimal treatment strategies for consumer and SME debt recovery while also helping address energy-specific challenges, such as dealing with occupier debts and identifying and extracting unrealised value from large warehouse portfolios.View sector
Telecoms and media
With £1.9 billion of live and terminated global telecoms and media debt on our debt placement and management platform (PLATO), we have an unparalleled view of how customers behave when in arrears. We utilise this insight to improve the liquidation of consumer and small business debt whilst decreasing churn, hence increasing the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). We help address sector-specific challenges, such as balancing recovering outstanding debt with rehabilitating potentially valuable customers, as an example, we adopt creative commercial structures with debt collection agencies to incentivise rehabilitation where appropriate and rigorously performance manage them to maximise results.View sector
Having completed consultancy projects for three of the top six water companies and with £345 million of water debt across our platforms we have a unique view of both internal and external collections performance across the sector. This gives us unparalleled insight into the specific challenges faced across the sector and the strategies that have been successfully deployed to resolve these.We help address water-specific challenges such as rehabilitating live debtors back into the internal process and identifying and extracting unrealised value from large warehouse portfolios.View sector
Public sector
We have worked with both central government and local authorities to deliver increased effectiveness and improved efficiency in collections and recoveries and we appreciate some of the unique sensitivities and challenges of reducing the amount of money owed to the government by citizens and businesses. Legacy processes and old technologies can hamper progress and in a climate of austerity the potential gains are crucial to maintaining services. Over the last few years the private sector has become very sophisticated in the way that it recovers debt. TDX is integral to many of these organisations and provide a platform on which this process can be managed. This can bring significant recovery uplift, as well as improved internal efficiencies, and at the same time address concerns around regulatory compliance and fairness to customers.View sector
Debt Specialists
Debt collection has been at the heart of TDX Group since we were founded in 2004. Working in close partnership with our panel of over 70 debt collection agencies we have managed £20 billion of debt on behalf of our clients and placed over 38 million accounts with our agencies and we currently process over 785,000 debt recovery transactions each month.Read more
Since the launch of our insolvency management platform, TIX, in 2006, TDX has been working alongside Insolvency Practitioners (IPs). We have visibility of 95% of IVAs and Protected Trust Deeds (200+ per day). As a result we understand the challenges and demands of the personal insolvency market including deep insights into the behaviours and demographics of insolvent consumers. In 2013 we completed the integration of a specialist software provider, enabling us to provide IPs with a modern software solution that drives more efficient and effective processes which is an ever-growing requirement as the pressure on IP margins increases.Read more
Because our debt sale service is based on a model that brings debt sellers and purchasers closer together to ensure the right debt is being sold to the right purchaser, we have worked closely with debt purchasers for many years. VENDO, our debt sale platform, is the largest in Europe, with 5.1 million accounts sold. It is also currently used by three of the eight largest debt purchasing firms in Europe. As a result we have developed a detailed understanding of the specific needs of purchasers not only when they're in the market to buy a portfolio, but also their needs through servicing a portfolio.Read more

SPECviewperf 11 tests
The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation is "...a non-profit corporation formed to establish, maintain and endorse a standardized set of relevant benchmarks that can be applied to the newest generation of high-performance computers." Their free SPECviewperf benchmark incorporates code and tests contributed by several other companies and is designed to stress computers in a reproducible way. SPECviewperf 11 was released in June 2010 and incorporates an expanded range of capabilities and tests. Note that results from previous versions of SPECviewperf cannot be compared with results from the latest version, as even benchmarks with the same name have been updated with new code and models.
SPECviewperf comprises test code from several vendors of professional graphics modeling, rendering, and visualization software. Most of the tests emphasize the CPU over the graphics card, and have between 5 and 13 sub-sections. For this review I ran the Lightwave, Maya, and Seimens Teamcenter Visualization tests. Results are reported as abstract scores, with higher being better.
The lightwave-01 viewset was created from traces of the graphics workloads generated by the SPECapc for Lightwave 9.6 benchmark.
The models for this viewset range in size from 2.5 to 6 million vertices, with heavy use of vertex buffer objects (VBOs) mixed with immediate mode. GLSL shaders are used throughout the tests. Applications represented by the viewset include 3D character animation, architectural review, and industrial design.
The maya-03 viewset was created from traces of the graphics workload generated by the SPECapc for Maya 2009 benchmark. The models used in the tests range in size from 6 to 66 million vertices, and are tested with and without vertex and fragment shaders.
State changes such as those executed by the application- including matrix, material, light and line-stipple changes- are included throughout the rendering of the models. All state changes are derived from a trace of the running application.
Siemens Teamcenter Visualization Mockup
The tcvis-02 viewset is based on traces of the Siemens Teamcenter Visualization Mockup application (also known as VisMockup) used for visual simulation. Models range from 10 to 22 million vertices and incorporate vertex arrays and fixed-function lighting.
State changes such as those executed by the application- including matrix, material, light and line-stipple changes- are included throughout the rendering of the model. All state changes are derived from a trace of the running application.
The SPECviewperf suite is a good example of a real-world test of applications that would normally be the province of a high-end workstation: the individual tests comprise code and models from real applications, running scripts that do real work. The Intel CPUs dominate the Lightwave and TCVIS tests, but it's the Maya test that's the real surprise: in previous testing, AMD processors have done better than Intel processors in the Maya test, with the AMD 1100T beating even the Core i7-980X Extreme Edition CPU, and we can see echoes of that here with the i7-950's lower score compared to the 1100T. But the P67/Sandy Bridge systems are much faster than anything else. This is another example where the 2600K scores are better than the 980x scores...in fact, they're about twice the score of the 980X in this same test.
UEFI is the new standard. BIOS is the old standard. But there is no such thing as a UEFI BIOS.
But yeah, I understand where you're coming from. Hard to get people to just throw out the word BIOS after 20 something years.
Does the new TUF P67 Sabertooth mobo also have DIGI + VRM? Thanks!
Is there realy something wrong with this motherboard?
When I go to amazon.com this item has simply vanished of the shelves and other asus motherboards aswell.
by the way, thanX for your asus review for this was what made me move to LGA1155! I still believe asus is damn GOOD!
Let me be the First (maybe) to offer a new abbreviated terminology for the new UEFI. Since BIOS rolls easily off the tongue, UEFI simply does NOT lend itself to such an abbreviated form...so I propose that we start calling it the "WEEF", simply taking the sound that the first 3 letters would make in any other usage. Calling it "WEEFI" (long i) would confuse it with WiFi, so shortening it to weef would make sense (to me anyhoo). Or if weefI catches on, so be it.
what a loss
Oh there is a work around. You plug the compact flash card into the card reader first and then plug the card reader into the computer. Then when you are done with that card you unplug everytrhing. Plug a new compact flash card into the card reader and then plug the card reader into the computer. Works like a champ.
Kind of like buying a new stick shift car where you have to come to a standstill every time you want to shift gears.
Two different card readers would work fine on two different computers on different multiple ports but none of them would work on the 6 usb ports that were tried on the bad computer. The units were also tired with different compact flash cards. By the way we are working with Lexar dual readers compact/sd one card reader is the older USB 2 and one is the newer USB 3 card reader.
The service rep has now disabled the raid c drives and has put an image of windows onto the solid state drive. The solid state drive is on the system to be used as the scratch memory for Adobe products.
With this temporary arrangement it looks like both the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports perform correctly. We now are in the process of trying to repair windows using the repair feature on the windows disk. The system disk does not have service pack 1 but it may work anyway.
So now it looks like the problem can be blamed on some windows coruption.
If the repair doesn't work then the software will be deactivated and windows will be reinstalled.
By the way Lexar has said they have had some issues of card reader problems on both windows and mac computers but all seem to be unexplainable and random.
When this is done I will provide some info back to them.

One thing that does puzzle me is that the 2335 is supposed to be hp's business focussed 23in monitor, and I would consider picture-in-picture to be a very consumer type of feature. That said, it's still a great additional function and sets the hp apart from the competition.
At the rear of the screen you'll find both DVI and D-SUB inputs, as well as a standard kettle type power connector. The latter highlights another advantage that the hp has over the competition – an integrated power supply. Unlike the ViewSonic which needs a very large external power brick, the hp just plugs straight into the mains. It's true that the screen is a little thicker, but not significantly so, and I think that the internal power supply more than makes up for slightly increased girth.
Firing up DisplayMate showed that the hp exhibited almost identical image quality to the ViewSonic, which would lead me to believe that both monitors are using the same 23in LCD panel. However, looking at the specifications of both screens it's obvious that the panels are not the same, since the hp panel has a 25ms response time compared to the 16ms response time in the ViewSonic. That said, I did play Counter Strike Source on both screens and had no problem with either, apart from the fact that I couldn't run it at the ludicrously high native resolution. However, someone who does feel that they can notice a significant difference between a 16ms and 25ms screen when playing games may prefer the ViewSonic. The hp was perfectly capable of producing smooth video as well without any smearing, although this is not surprising considering the video inputs.
The hp sports the same 1,920 x 1,200 native resolution as the ViewSonic, and the result is equally impressive. In fact, I currently have both screens on my desk in a dual monitor setup, and I imagine I'll be close to tears when they both have to go back.
In the DisplayMate test screens the hp had the same problems trying to resolve smooth graduations from high to low intensity. There was a significant amount of banding, especially in the low intensity end of the spectrum. However, the colour scales showed a smooth and uniform fade from high to low intensity, and all the bars dropped off right at the end, showing little sign of compression – again, just like the ViewSonic.
The DisplayMate results would lead you to believe that the 2335 wouldn't be ideal for image editing, but I didn't see too much of a problem here. As with the ViewSonic I launched Photoshop and worked on a number of high resolution images, and the hp 2335 did a sterling job. I dare say that a true digital imaging professional might spot some of the issues highlighted by DisplayMate though, so if you fall into that category it's worth having a first hand play with either of these screens.
Once again, price is obviously a major consideration, and the hp will set you back slightly more than the ViewSonic at £1,449.98 including VAT. Of course for the extra money you are getting video inputs, picture-in-picture and pivot functionality, so the price difference is more than justified.
The hp 2335 is a stunning monitor with a very strong feature set. The image quality isn't perfect, but it's on a par with the ViewSonic. The ability to pivot the screen, coupled with the video inputs and picture-in-picture functionality, give the hp the edge over the ViewSonic in my book – while the integrated power supply is the icing on the cake. Unless you're desperate for a 16ms response time, I'd say that this hp is the best large screen TFT currently available.

Well you can add one more 1.4 to the list of cracked pistons. 2011 M6, currently has 51k miles on it. I don't know how many yet, at least two. Probably happened about 10k ago, I'm guessing. Had it at the dealer a couple weeks ago when it started leaking oil from up by the intercooler. GM told them to put a new turbo and intercooler on it. Drive it for about a week and its leaking worse and from more places than before. So got it back to the dealership monday, today they called and said it has cracked pistons and its also getting a new head.
I really wish they would throw a new longblock in it, but I know GM says not to unless needed. Sorry, but I'm not comfortable with people basically rebuilding my engine that don't do it on a regular basis, much less doing it half-assed. But I know I don't have a choice in that.
I am curious as to what they have done to others that have had this problem. Are they replacing all the pistons, or just the cracked ones? They putting new rod bearings and main bearing in them? Who knows how many shavings and or pieces have gone through it. In my case, Something had to have gone through it to require a new head. Hopefully They put a (another) new intercooler in it since it is full of oil again.
I'm going to head over there tomorrow and have a look for myself, and talk to them about it. My wife has been dealing with it thus far, so I have not been able to chat with them yet.

Firewall question
I have a question I was wondering if someone could help me out. I have been reading around for few days now and cannot seem to find an answer. I thought of a scenario last week and can't figure out what the outcome would be.
Example: A system has multiple servers and they are behind a firewall. One server has an open port and is running a vulnerable version of a service. If an attacker was to connect to the open port on the server (through the firewall) and launch exploit code...would the firewall pick it up? Or, would the firewall not be reviewing it as the port is open for the application?
Disclaimer: this is not real world, it is a hypothetical question
Thanks for any advice
