KP - Clean Slate
By LJ58
Part 1: In which Shego learns going straight isn't as easy as being bad, Kim copes with college and her many protectors, and mysteries in the background arise.
Shego walked into the apartment Betty had helped arrange for her and Kimberly shortly after the latter had graduated, and they had returned from their postponed honeymoon that had been quite nice, thank you. Until, that is, they both faced a return to reality, and their daily lives.
Only Shego's daily life was nowhere near as orderly as it had once been. Which was saying something.
She closed the door, locking and activating the security systems out of habit, and then stood there staring at the thick, wooden panel. Right before she banged her head into it. Twice. Then again. By the fifth thud, Kim showed up in the passage that led to the dining and kitchen area, and called out, "Shego, is that….? What are you doing?"
She turned to give a belated smile to her wife, and sighed, stopping before she could bang her head a sixth time. "Pumpkin? You're home early?"
"No classes this afternoon. Someone trashed the Chem lab again, so I decided to go to the library to do some cramming."
"Not you," she asked knowingly.
"Please. I wasn't even near the lab. This time."
"Well, I don't think this is the library, Kimmie," she sighed, walking over to hug her wife. Since the inestimable redhead had chosen Upperton Sci-Tech to attend in favor of any exotic location to stay close to her rather than split up from the start, Shego knew the local media wannabes were still trying to get close to her 'lesbian wife and lover.' She had her own share of paparazzi and other gawkers following her lately.
Then she had a truly horrible thought.
"Kitten," she called her as she did of late. "Why were you in the kitchen?"
"I wasn't," Kim protested. "I just came home to focus on my physics homework. The library was too crowded."
Shego relaxed a little.
"So, you weren't trying to cook again?"
"No," she grumbled. "But I don't know why you carry on like that. I'm not that bad."
"Please. Stoppable told me all about your Home Ec classes. And don't forget, Drew still has a lair he can't use after you….cooked for us there."
"I passed that class," she fumed as she glared up at her wife, not saying a word about that time spent when her memory was missing in action.
"Passing a class does not necessarily mean you know what you're doing, Kimmie," she pointed out. "And I think we both agreed you were going to stay out of my kitchen, and let me handle the cooking for both our sakes."
"Then how am I supposed to eat if you're not around? By the way, why were you banging your head on the door anyway? I haven't seen you do that since you left Dr. Drakken."
"Sometimes I think Dr. D was actually easier on my sanity," she complained as she sighed, and followed Kim back to the dining room, where the small table was almost literally covered with books.
"Well, and a few other things I wanted to check out," she admitted.
Shego lifted a book. "Quantum Theory?" Another read; "The Life & Times of Dark Matter." Yet another; "Space Travel and the Human Element."
"Something I should know, Kim," she sighed.
"Uhm, just some things dad suggested."
"And I take it all the anatomy books are your mom's idea," she asked, looking at the medical texts on the other half of the table.
Kim just gave a rueful grin.
"Princess, we discussed this before we even moved in, and you started college. You have to decide what you want to do. No one is going to live your life except you. I know you think you can do everything, but there is no way you can manage this kind of load if you're not really interested."
"How do you know I'm…..?"
Shego took her by the shoulders, and turned her to face her. "Let's see. The lines in your usually smooth face? The scowl on those pretty lips. The furrow between your brows? Relax, and find what you want, Kimberly. Trust me. Your folks won't mind."
She sighed. "I just hate to disappoint them."
"Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure even you can't do degrees in physics and medicine both at once," she told her bluntly.
Kim's expression made her head hurt.
"No. You are not even going to try….."
"That's not it. You changed the subject again," she complained.
"What do you mean?"
"We always talk about me," Kim complained. "We never talk about you. Just now, you wouldn't even tell me about your day. Or why you were banging your head on the door."
"Sorry," Shego sighed, and sit down when Kim pulled out a chair for her next to the one she had been using. "But there really isn't much to tell."
"Then tell me, and I'll decide if you should go back to trying to give yourself brain damage."
"Funny," the brunette drawled, looking very professional in a dark green skirt with a white blouse, and matching jacket.
"Give," Kim told her. "It can't be that bad."
"Wanna bet," she grumbled, and then sighed, and looked into genuinely caring, green eyes. That really got her even now. The idea that Kim really did care. That somehow something had been growing up between them without either of them realizing it until an accident had literally brought them together, and opened an entirely unexpected life up for the pair of them.
"I actually took Bets' suggestion, and tried to go with my strengths when I went looking for a job," she complained. "I should have had my head examined."
"What happened," Kim asked gently, knowing Shego had been pondering trying to get a job as a security consultant, or something similar to help seal her status as a legitimate citizen on the right side of the law again.
"Well, the first three dozen security firms laughed me out of their offices," she sighed bitterly. "Literally," she added just so Kim would get the picture. "Then I tried a few smaller businesses. The second one I tried was the Southwest Jewelry Exchange."
"I spent the rest of the day in jail trying to reach Betty to bail me out rather than just walking out, and starting trouble for all of us," she pointed out.
"Jail? Wha….? How? Why?"
She gave a weak chuckle. "Part of it is funny. Now. At the time, not so much," she muttered, and shook her head.
"If you don't want to tell me….."
"I might as well. I'm just surprised Cyclops, or Nerdboy hasn't already tipped you off," she complained. "Anyway, I walked into SJE, and asked for the manager. Right? Before I could blink, everyone in the place, and I mean everyone, had their hands in the air."
"Was someone holding it up while you were there," Kim exclaimed in confusion.
"That's just it. They thought I was there to rob them. So the hands go up just as a cop drives by outside. He sees me through the window. He sees the hands in the air, and suddenly half of Upperton's elite police force is there, and I'm under arrest."
"Yeah, it was a real laugh."
Kim dropped her head.
"Then the jerks wouldn't listen to me when I tried to explain. I had to call in Bets, which really galls. And….."
Kim's shoulders were shaking.
"Are you laughing at me?"
"I'm sorry," Kim's head came up again, a grin spread ear-to-ear. "But….."
She stopped to burst into laughter. "That is the craziest thing I've ever heard. They thought you….? They just put their hands….?"
She laughed again, her much increased belly at near six months shaking as she tried to hold her sides..
"It wasn't that funny."
"And you…..?"
Shego gave a weak snort. "Okay, it was stupid. But, damn it, Kim. How am I supposed to show I'm reformed if crap like that keeps happening?"
"You could go back to being a hero," Kim said mischievously, rubbing the mound that had replaced her once slender, trim abdomen.
"Oh, no. Been there, done that, and I burned the damn shirt!"
Kim sniggered at that one.
"You know what I mean," she grumbled.
"Aw, Shego. It would be great to have you on the team…"
"Let me remind you, Pumpkin, that you aren't even on the team right now. Even Bets agrees that for the duration you are off mission status. It's college, and a quiet home life for you, Kitten."
"Man, as Ron would say, that tanks."
"Do not start quoting Stoppable to me," Shego growled, making her smirk.
"Well, it does. I finally get out on my own, and I can't even…."
"What," the green-skinned woman asked as Kim froze, and a familiar look spread across her face. The kind of look that made Blueboy crazy, and usually meant trouble for her.
"What are you thinking," as that smile etched across her face turned Shego's way.
"That's it. I've got it. It's perfect."
"What have you got? What are you thinking, Pumpkin," she asked uneasily.
"The perfect job. The way to show everyone you really are serious about reforming."
"Uh, please don't tell me you expect me to take your place."
"Oh, no. I wouldn't expect you to do that, Shego."
Shego gave a genuine breath of relief.
"You can join the local police department," Kim exclaimed excitedly.
Shego stared blankly at her for all of five seconds.
"Are you insane," she thundered.
"What? It's just what the doctor ordered," she went on, her eyes still lit with excitement at her idea.
"I look terrible in blue. I look terrible in a uniform. You know what I mean," she glowered at Kim's smirk, "And I still hate cops!"
"You could be….. I don't know, undercover. Or part of their elite response units. Don't they wear unmarked uniforms, or something?"
Shego slapped a hand over her face. "Princess. That has to be the dumbest….."
"I'm just trying to help," she complained. "Say, maybe we could even ask Betty if she would….."
"Oh, no. Nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh. One favor in a lifetime is my limit, and I've already had to call her for three. Three! I'm never going to live it down."
"Well, duh. Getting me pardoned," she reminded her.
"Okay. That's one. And your bail thingy today was two, right?"
"Actually, there was….something else."
"Really? I haven't heard about anything else."
Shego glanced at the far wall.
"She helped me set up the honeymoon. Okay? I wanted everything perfect for our trip after you graduated. Especially after that loopy alien business, and she….made a few suggestions."
Kim smiled again. "That was sweet. I really did enjoy Koka Kuli. Maybe we could go even back to the island for our anniversary," she suggested with a smile.
Shego smiled herself at that. "It would be nice. But remember, by then we're going to be dragging a brat around."
"Our daughter won't be a brat," Kim gasped in protest, both hands clutching her rounded belly as if defending her.
"Oh, please. If she is anything like you or I, she is going to the be the biggest brat in the history of brats," Shego sniggered knowingly.
"Are you saying…..?"
She only grinned at her gaping, incredulous wife.
"Gotcha," she grinned, and leaned over to kiss her before rising to her feet. "So, what do you want for supper?"
"Real food, Kimmie. Remember, you're feeding two, and I am pretty sure it's still too early for weird cravings."
"Not for me. I want pizza!"
Shego laughed. "Thanks, Kimmie. You always did cheer me up."
"Really? So, you'll talk to the police chief tomorrow? Would you like me to come with you? Or…?"
"Kim, I'm not going to be a cop," shouted the woman from the kitchen as a pan clattered after she walked over to the cabinets.
"But it would be perfect," she complained as Shego shot her a glare at finding the pan out of place.
"Stop whining."
"I'm not whining," Kim pouted as Shego straightened the kitchen to her satisfaction before she began sifting things in the fridge to find what she wanted.
"I can hear you pouting from here," she called back, head still stuck in the fridge.
"Someone's going to sleep on the couch," she muttered.
"Hope you enjoy it," Shego shot back.
Kim blinked, having forgotten how good her wife's hearing could be at time. "I wasn't serious," she sputtered, and glared at her books as their conversation replayed in her mind.
Shego did have a point. She did need to focus. She did need to find her own way. Only that didn't mean she couldn't help Shego with her problems. She was always better at helping others than coping with her own life. Always had been. So to her, having her wife become a cop just made perfect sense.
Maybe Betty could help.
She started to pull out her Kimmunicator she carried in her pocket again, since her professors frowned on the high-tech devices most students carried into class. They certainly didn't want her using one, since everyone knew she was in easy reach of a young genius with more knowledge than the entire university library could boast.
She had not even switched it on before a green hand flashed over her shoulder, and the device was plucked out of her hands.
"What did we agree," Shego asked archly as Kim looked up and back rather than turning her head.
"I wasn't going on a mission," Kim protested, only then turning to look up at her wife in a green and black apron adorned with a motto Kim felt was both cute and apropos at the time she bought it.
It read simply, "I cooked it. You eat it."
"But I know you, Kitten," the older woman grinned smugly, holding the device away from her. "You can't help butting in where you aren't wanted."
"I so do not butt in….!"
"You were about to call your nerd to try to hook me up with the police chief. Weren't you?"
"Kimmie," Shego scowled.
"I wasn't." She wilted under the glare, and sighed, "I was going to ask Dr. Director to hook me up with the city police commissioner."
Shego just shook her head.
"I'm just trying to help," she told her, rising to hug her. "I want you to stay happy here. To stay…."
"Hey. Hey, I'm not going anywhere," Shego assured her, seeing the worry in her green eyes now as she read Kim's train of thought with ease after going through the past few months with her on the hormonal train ride she was rather glad Kim was taking on their behalf. "Things will work out. You'll see."
Kim grumbled as she stood up, and lay her head on Shego's shoulder as her arms wrapped around her.
"What was that," Shego asked as the redhead mumbled something just on the verge of being inaudible.
"I said…. Things were simpler when we just fought each other."
Shego hugged her wife, and grinned. "Call Cyclops," she told her, one hand holding out the Kimmunicator as the other remained wound around her blatantly pregnant wife.
"You'll try my idea?"
"Not for a single, solitary second," Shego smirked. "But you can ask her if we can borrow her training facilities. We both need to work off some steam, and we're not exactly made for local gyms."
Kim beamed. "That would be spankin'," she agreed, and eagerly thumbed the device to power it on.
"Nothing rough," Shego growled, eyeing her belly. "But you obviously need to vent."
Kim only beamed at her.
"Kim? What's up? You need help with your Physics?"
"No, Wade. I'll muddle through that on my own. I need you to put me in touch with Dr. Director. We have a request."
"All right, Kim. One second," he told her.
"I just cannot believe that ungrateful woman has not shown up to break me out," Drew muttered as he worked in the corner of his cell under the moonlight filtering in the window to rewire the television remote he had stolen from the day room earlier.
His cellmate only grumbled, and tried to ignore him.
"Years of loyal service, amended contracts, Karaoke nights! For what? For what, I ask you?"
"Will you keep it down," the burly man on the top bunk demanded. "Some of us actually try to sleep in here."
Drew glared up at the man. "Sleep? How can you sleep on those dreadful instruments of torture they pass off as beds. They don't even have…..!"
"Zip it, fruitcake. I don't care about your mommy's beds. Your sidekick's wife, or anything else you want to rant about right now. I just want to sleep," the big man huffed, but didn't actually get physical.
Even Big T knew better than to actually cross the weird guy with blue skin.
Sure, he could beat him senseless. Sure, he could make him whine, and curl up in a ball, and even beg for his mommy. But then Big T just might wake up with his bunk wired to the power lines, or something equally nasty. The blue guy might be past loopy, but the he could be scary in his own way.
He had proven it too many times.
"Hmmph," Drew muttered, and snapped the pieces of the remote back together as he then carefully checked the batteries. Twice. After all, sometimes it was hard to put them in right since they didn't exactly label those things properly. "You can sleep all you want after I'm gone," he said, and pulled on his shoes to walk to the door of their cell.
"Yeah, and where are you going," Big T smirked, looking over the edge of his thin mattress.
"Why, out, of course. I thought I would take a stroll," Drew smiled his manic smile as aimed the remote at the electronic lock, which promptly opened with a faint buzzing and click.
"Holy…..! Whoa, dude, wait up. I'm with you!"
Dr. Drakken smiled coldly as he then agreed that it did make sense to slip away in the chaos of freeing every prisoner they could as he and Big T easily walked out the main gate past the diverted guards. His mind was already filled with ideas of how to finally bring down his longtime teen nemesis, and more importantly, punish Shego for betraying him, their evil family, and…and violating her contract!
Ron was meditating.
It might look like he was carelessly heaping incongruent ingredients atop the bun on his plate, but he was actually meditating.
His distraction was evident when he took no notice of the fact Rufus kept snatching the slices of cheese he occasionally put between layers of various meats and pickles on the truly monumental sandwich rising before him.
He kept seeing those giant, two-legged cats.
Mr. Dr. P.
Dr. Director!
One-eyed cat-lady.
Okay, pretty hot one-eyed cat lady. For an old lady. But still!
Then Kim came home, and that first day she was back at school, he had seen…a red-haired cat-girl. And he was pretty sure KP had never been a cat-girl before then.
Okay, sure, there was that time she dressed up at the villain's expo, but…..that was a costume. Not a…..weird, full-body makeover like those changelings right out of that silly Twilight series. Except with cats instead of wolves, of course.
So…..what did he do now? Did he do anything?
This was, after all, still Kim Possible. His best friend since forever.
Only…..was it really?
First she had gotten pregnant. Then married…..to Shego! Now she was looking like a big, not so cute-and-cuddly cat whenever he turned his mojo on. What if…..? What if she was being experimented on? Again! What if some weird villainous plot was going on right under his nose.
He lifted his sandwich, and took a large bite, chewing thoughtfully.
Wade. He had to call Wade. He was sure to have answers. He was, after all, the brains in their outfit.
He paused, frowning darkly, and eyed his culinary creation.
"Hey, what happened to my cheese," he complained to the tiny, pink rodent grinning at him from the table as he rubbed his belly.
"Cheese," the small mole rat sighed and grinned as he rubbed his fully belly.
"I believe I have found her," the man said as he drove down the street of the innocuous small town the three other men in the car eyed with disdain.
"Others have made the same claim," one of the men grumbled in complaint, sounding far from convinced.
"They were wrong. And rightly suffered for their mistake," another drawled, eyeing the man in the back seat that said nothing as he eyed the town around them as they drove on, hidden behind the sedan's tented windows.
"They were wrong. I am not," he said, and pulled up a stop sign, and glanced to his right at one of the many innocuous structures around them. "Or do I mistake my own vision," he asked them as they all looked toward the singular house their companion indicated with a nod of his dark head.
The men all looked to the drive, then at the tall, tawny feline that nuzzled a redheaded female before he climbed into a van, and drove away.
"Now, tell me again that I am mistaken," the driver demanded.
"So, they did come to this world," the hitherto silent member of the group hissed. "Then, there is every chance that she is here, too."
"Just as I said."
"If you are right, we must not act precipitously. We must be beyond clever if we are to seize our prize, and perhaps ultimate power."
"Well said," the fourth nodded. "Return to our quarters. We shall…..plan. Still, if she is not here with the refugees, you will be the one to suffer for wasting my time with a few stray cats," he growled.
"I am not wrong," the driver said grimly.
He did not, however, completely mask, his own uneasiness when the man replied, "For your own sake, you had best pray that you are right."
He glanced back at the obviously human female, and drove on.
"I am," he grumbled as he watched the van depart in the opposite direction in his rear view window. "I am."

Distension of peripheral veins in humans elicits a pressor and sympathoexcitatory response that is mediated through group III/IV skeletal muscle afferents. There is some evidence that autonomic reflexes mediated by these sensory fibers are blunted with increasing age, yet to date the venous distension reflex has only been studied in young adults. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that the venous distension reflex would be attenuated in middle-aged compared with young adults. Nineteen young (14 men/5 women, 25 ± 1 yr) and 13 middle-aged (9 men/4 women, 50 ± 2 yr) healthy normotensive participants underwent venous distension via saline infusion through a retrograde intravenous catheter in an antecubital vein during limb occlusion. Beat-by-beat blood pressure, muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), and model flow-derived cardiac output (Q), and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were recorded throughout the trial. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) increased during the venous distension in both young (baseline 83 ± 2, peak 94 ± 3 mmHg; P < 0.05) and middle-aged adults (baseline 88 ± 2, peak 103 ± 3 mmHg; P < 0.05). MSNA also increased in both groups [young: baseline 886 ± 143, peak 1,961 ± 242 arbitrary units (AU)/min; middle-aged: baseline 1,164 ± 225, peak 2,515 ± 404 AU/min; both P < 0.05]. TPR (P < 0.001), but not Q (P = 0.76), increased during the trial. However, the observed increases in blood pressure, MSNA, and TPR were similar between young and middle-aged adults. Additionally, no correlation was found between age and the response to venous distension (all P > 0.05). These findings suggest that peripheral venous distension elicits a pressor and sympathetic response in middle-aged adults similar to the response observed in young adults.

When Birdies Are Unwanted
By Kickntrue on 7/7/08
Birdies are a huge problem for golf courses in a couple Utah counties where over 1450 geese have been removed so far. Bird lovers don't fear- they are being relocated not murdered. The geese have been removed for a few years now as the golf courses seem to be a popular spot to hang out.
We've all been to golf courses that are over-geesed. I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm glad they are doing this. I wish they'd call some of my local courses with tips.
Full Story

golfgirl says:
There's a bedraggled and goose ridden muni we play from time to time. Sometimes when we're half way down on a par 5 waiting for the group ahead of us to finishing four putting, I practice my swing by hitting the goose droppings. I know it's kind of sick but it cuts the boredom.
klangdon says:
sick? thats too tame of a word. thats just disgusting.
falcon50driver says:
At least you didn't try to smoke it
Josh says:
Maybe I'm confused but I'm fairly certain that geese can fly. That being the case "relocating" doesn't seem like it would be all that successful, don't canadian geese migrate hundreds of miles twice every year? driving them a few miles away seems dumb.
My solution is simple, it's called a Remington 870.
hogan72 says:
Maybe Josh & Tripp could team up. Wonder who would get more birdies?
falcon50driver says:
We generally use a 12 gauge, the 870 is for Bambi's dad.
delgue says:
Hey Merlin,The 870 IS a 12 ga. Also a 20,16,410 & 28 ga.
theredmission says:
I agree the 870 is the way to go for deer, geese, heck even rabbit or squirrel. Also a little story: here in MI at Ford Motor Co's headquarters they've always has a 'goose' problem well they got to the point where they tried relocating them thousands of miles away, only to have them return a couple days later. After years of trying every potential solution short of draining their ponds they finally gave up...geese 1 - ford 0
falcon50driver says:
delgue, you are correct, I saw 870 and read .270, my mistake.
falcon50driver says:
theredmission: I see that you are in Michigan, do you have any recommendations for courses in the Mackinac area? I'll be there next week for a few days, thanks...

Astelbania Chronicles: Drama
Falina sat looking at Bahl for some moments, unblinking, her eyes boring into him. He returned her stare with seeminly not a whit of concern for her scrutiny.
"That's it," She said in a flat tone,"You are doing this because you want to find my mother."
"I am doing this because the King of Devensheer has asked me to do so."
"Lady Falina," Eylan's voice was a gentle rebuke. "We have vouched for Bahl more than once in this conversation. Why do you still continue to try and find reasons to put his loyalty and honor in doubt."
"Is it not clear, My Lord? Appearances are the first thing most humans judge. It is the reason that my family has never been able to openly serve yours. It is the reason my mother had to hide her marriage to my father to the world at large."
Falina swallowed a sudden lump in her throat. She could feel a heat rise in her cheeks. She felt as if she had done something wrong by not fully trusting this creature on sight and yet, what person would?
Looking around, she saw those in the room looking at her intently. and she squirmed uncomfortably.
The King, as if sensing her discomfort, allowed her a moment of thought and then broke in in a buisness-like voice.
"We do not have much time," He said, clearly demanding all attention. "Lady Falina, you will have a few hours to prepare to leave Devensheer."
Falina nodded and got to her feet, gently removing her hand from the Princes, finding herself reluctant to do so but more reluctant to stay in the room under judging eyes.
"Yes, I have to go home and say good bye to the children and my father..." She began and then stopped as both royals shook their heads.
"You are to leave from here. Clothes and provisions will be provided from the castle. You are not to leave the grounds. For all intents and purposes, you are now dead."
Falina felt her heart nearly burst from her chest and tears stung her eyes.
"You...you mean I cannot say farewell to my...to my brother and sisters...my father...I..they are to think...."
"That you have died, the victum of an assassin's knife," This came from Bahl. "Though the Prince tried valantly to save you it was not possible. The story is prepared and ready to be disbursed and, in a few hours when darkness comes we will leave Devensheer for good. Or until we discover who wants you dead and why and eliminate that threat."
Falina felt her legs going and sat down heavily on the chair she had just abandoned, fighting tears and her emotions.
"She's going to faint."
This came from a long way away, almost at the end of a tunnel.
"Lay her down! Brandyn, call a healer!"
Footsteps and then another voice in the approaching darkness.
"I do not think she will make the journey, Your Majesty. She shows to much of the frailty of women. I am afraid we may be forced to engineer another plan which accounts for her weaknesses."
Anger flared up and the blackness recceded and became tinged with red fire.
Blinking, Falina sat bolt up right, deep blue eyes blazing as three of the four men in the room stopped stock still staring at her sudden recovery.
Finding Bahl's silvery-blue face among those standing around her, she brought her hand up and across his cheek as hard as she could.
The sound of flesh on flesh sounded in the silent room, broken only by Falina's harsh breathing as she and Bahl once again locked gazes, amusement dancing in her opponent's red-rimmed eyes.
"Don't," She said through clenched teeth,"Ever count me out!"
There came a clearing of throats and she turned to look at the Royal Father and Son who were looking from her to each other.
"She is definately Genevive's daughter," Gerald Goldenbane said.
"I think she will be fine," Eylan added with a ghost of a smile.
"And I think," Bahl's voice cut in,"That the journey may be more than any of us bargained for."

OTTAWA - June 5, 2000 - The Canadian Transportation Agency tabled today its Annual Report to Parliament for 1999. It's theme, "Moving with the Times," reflects the dramatic changes faced by the transportation industry last year.
The air sector was faced with the near-collapse of Canadian Airlines International and its merger with Air Canada, the country's largest national carrier. The marine pilotage system was subject to review by the Canadian Transportation Agency and, as a result a number of recommendations are being implemented. As well, the Western grain handling and transportation system, was subject to a review and recommendations which the federal government has taken into account in its latest announcement.
"When looking back over the year, we recognize the significance of these events to the Canadian economy," remarked Marian Robson, Chairman of the Agency. "We wanted our Annual Report to capture the essence of these changes to the transportation industry and its customers".
The report describes the Agency's activities in 1999 including its significant decisions. As well, it assesses the operation of the Canada Transportation Act and any difficulties the Agency encountered in its administration of the Act in 1999.
A section of the report is also dedicated to the Agency's activities in removing undue obstacles to the mobility of people with disabilities.
The Canadian Transportation Agency is a quasi-judicial tribunal which administers government legislation and policies for maintaining an economic, efficient and accessible system of transportation within Canada.

Listening Closer
The envelope itself was completely devoid of any clues. First off, it was a square, perfectly shaped with identical sides all around. What did a square envelope mean? Can you even buy white square envelopes?
The return address, too, gave no info of great, immediate clarity. It was peculiar, though. Lucy didn't recognize the name, or even the supposed town from which it was sent. However, it was hand-written, so her Code of Letters told her that it must be personal. No questions asked.
When regarding the stamp, Lucy's last hope for gleaning any information about the mail before opening it, she was again met with a blank. Well, not literally. Who had ever heard of blank stamps? No. It simply said 'Postage Paid" and looked like it might have been dispensed from a vending machine, or something.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Well, this letter surely would not get the better of Lucy. She would crack it open to reveal its secrets, no matter what. The mail could never be opening until she knew it's purpose.
I'll start with the printing.
And so she did. Magnifying glass in hand, she scrutinized every letter, every dot and dash. It was agonizing work, hunched over the letter, glass trembling in her too-tight grip.
Alas, it led to nothing, other than the fact that the scribe involved had a very fine hand and used a black ball-point pen. Her mind raced to try and place the meaning of black ink, but that, too, led he to nothing. Anyone could use black ink for any purpose, so there was no way to judge it.
Next up was the paper of the envelope itself. It, too, bore no secrets, as bleached white paper was an industry standard in the world of envelopes.
Lucy ignored the stamp, as just looking at it brought a sense of frustration down on her shoulders. It just emanated drab.
All options exhausted, and almost all efforts used up, Lucy took one last, drastic step. She took up the envelope in her hands, brought it up close to her ear, and shook it gently.
I'm like a child at Christmas with a wrapped present.
Hearing nothing, she shook it again, a little more vigorously. Still, no sound from the envelope, although it would probably cackle if it could.
Becoming angry with the square of paper, Lucy shook it even harder, her own cries of malice drowning out any would-be noises from the innocent envelope.
Until a realization hit her: there was nothing inside.
It must be empty. Only nothing makes the sound of nothing when shaken.
She sounded like a mad-woman. And brandishing her sharpened letter-opener like a dagger, she was.

DWF has promoted four to the partnership in its Manchester office, bringing the total number of partners at the firm to 128.
This is a fall in promotions from last year, when the firm made up six. See story.
The promotions are in the real estate, litigation and employment departments. Last year the firm promoted in all of these departments, but also made up two in corporate and one in private client.
This year Paul Barge was made up in the construction team, Paul Gidman in real estate, Ritchie Irvine in finance litigation and Joanne Pearce in employment.
Out of the four, one lawyer – Gidman – joined the firm as a trainee nine years ago. The most recent of the quartet to come on board was Barge, who joined from DLA Piper in April 2007.

Category archive: Joey Logano
Joey Logano now a repeat Cup winner
Almost three years ago, Joey Logano was mired in a subpar Sprint Cup race in a very mediocre rookie season. Sitting 24th in points, Logano spun after the halfway point at New Hampshire, which allowed him to play pit strategy when the weather began to look threatening.
The rest is history: Logano became the youngest winner in series history, and it looked like the "Sliced Bread" dynasty was about to begin.
Then, a funny thing happened ... it didn't happen. Logano's 2010 started in a very blah fashion, but he was one of the hottest drivers to finish the season. Then 2011 was a letdown, and the beginning of this year didn't look much better.
Sunday, Logano finally picked up a win in which he got to cross the finish line, checkered flag waving, and do the burnout.
Now 182 drivers have won Cup series races, but about a third of those have never won a second race. Logano now is among the fortunate two-thirds who have. And not only does Logano have a more "legitimate" win, he did it by outdueling Mark Martin (more on him later).
We now can fairly ask: Is this Joe Gibbs Racing's best three-car tandem (with Denny Hamlin and Kyle Bush)? If Logano continues to show this strength, you can make a very strong case.
This is the third time Gibbs has had three teams win Cup races in a season, but this is the earliest it has happened, just 14 races into a season. Now Gibbs will try to put all three teams in the Chase for just the second time, after pulling it off in 2008.
Trivia break! Who has the most Cup series wins for Joe Gibbs Racing?
Always a bridesmaid
Martin was 31 years old when Logano was born. Let that one sink in.
Logano got the upper hand on Martin at the end of Sunday's race at Pocono, getting Martin all wiggly with four to go then pulling away from the 55.
That marked the seventh time Martin has finished second at Pocono, a track where he has never won. That's the most second-place finishes a driver has had at a track without a win in Cup series history.
Martin broke a tie with Bobby Allison, who was second six times at Martinsville without a win.
Trivia break! Martin has 40 career wins and 60 second-place finishes for a differential of minus-20. Who is the only driver in Cup history with a worse differential?
Usually in NASCAR, speed is a good thing. Except when you're on pit road.
Fourteen drivers were busted 22 times for speeding in Sunday's race, which, according to our friends at Racing Resources, is the most that have been recorded since they began documenting infractions in the summer of 2006.
Five drivers were tagged multiple times, and no driver was busted more than Travis Kvapil, who was ticketed four times. I imagine his insurance premiums will go up.
Trivia break! Before Logano, who was the last driver to go more than 100 starts between wins?
Trivia break answers
1. Tony Stewart leads all Gibbs drivers with 33 wins, then Bobby Labonte with 21.
2. Buddy Baker had 19 wins and 42 second-places for a minus-23.
3. Juan Pablo Montoya went 113 starts between wins from 2007-10.
Coke 600 JJ's to lose? Not so fast ...
Listen up, because I'm about to drop some knowledge on you.
I know Jimmie Johnson's six Charlotte wins make him a tempting fantasy play this weekend. But when you're picking your A-lister for Sunday evening, you should go with a guy who's never won at Charlotte.
Trust me on this one. I've got numerical evidence to support it!
So, Johnson has a sextet of Charlotte wins, but five of those came between 2003 and 2005. He had two runner-up finishes in 2006, and in the subsequent eight races, he has a single win, just one other top-5 finish and five finishes of 10th or worse.
Kyle Busch, on the other hand, is rocking a streak of seven straight finishes of eighth or better at Charlotte, with four top-three finishes in that span.
An explanation? I'm getting to it.
Last year, Busch's driver rating and number of fastest laps run were better in both Charlotte races than Johnson's marks in either of those races.
And this past fall, Busch had the best overall green-flag speed, but a win was not to be, as it went to Jamie McMurray.
But I know you want a sleeper, too, and I will deliver.
Joey Logano, in just four starts at Charlotte, has an average running position that ranks behind only Johnson's going back to 2005. He's averaging 68.5 quality passes per race, or nearly 20 more per race than what any other driver is averaging. Quality passes are green-flag passes inside the top 15 on the track.
So, don't let those early numbers sway you into picking Johnson. Or, maybe there is something behind those six wins?
The Eliminator: Charlotte
Most people just pick winners -- some by hunches, some by stats, some by just picking names off the top of their heads.
I don't pick winners; I pick losers. I'll make my race pick by telling you why all but one driver in the field just can't win.
1. Fifteen of the past 16 Charlotte winners had a previous top-10 finish at the track (15 drivers eliminated, 33 remaining).
2. The past 10 Sprint Cup Series winners this season finished 18th or better in their most recent race at the track (18 eliminated, 15 remaining).
3. Ten of the past 11 600-mile race winners at Charlotte finished in the top 20 in that season's Daytona 500 (seven eliminated, eight remaining).
4. The past five Charlotte winners finished 19th or better in the most recent Chicago and Kansas races (three eliminated, five remaining).
5. The past three Charlotte winners had a top-three finish in that season's Southern 500 (four eliminated, one remaining).
Your winner: Carl Edwards.
Crunching numbers: Kevin Harvick's turn?
And here we are, just one race to go. Which means this is my last loop data-style stats preview for the year.
As much as I'd like to wax poetic (my favorite means of waxing) about the season as a whole and some of my favorite moments, I'd love to let you reflect on some of your favorite blog posts of the year (I won't make you choose, as long it's one of mine). There are a number of topics we have to hit on this week, and these tired fingers only have so many words left in them, despite their muscularity.
But we're in a time crunch here, and I wanted to throw a few thoughts out there before ESPN.com freezes and stores me for the offseason. I imagine it's the same process they use for the "Baseball Tonight" anchors -- I just hope my storage chamber has a nice view, unobstructed and all.
It's my last chance to throw a few nuggets out there, so if you're up for a change of pace from the Chase (yay rhyming!), here are a couple of thoughts:
First of all, let's talk about the Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year award, which I assume they'll still give. It'll be Kevin Conway -- not to ruin the surprise. He'll finish the year 35th in points, barring a minor miracle. But that's not even the worst a rookie of the year's finished in points, although it'll be the third worst. Why not a little offseason adjustment in rules so Brad Keselowski -- who wasn't eligible because of his part-time Cup schedule in 2009 -- could've won it? Just saying.
After a very quiet year, two Roush Fenway drivers -- Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth -- have put themselves in the top five in points, and another -- Greg Biffle -- has won a pair of races. All of the wins were with the new FR9 Ford engine, and with a better handle on that next year, I expect big things from the RFR camp.
Paul Menard's Cup career has been the subject of a lot of jokes to this point, but I think next year he puts those to rest by getting himself in the Chase picture at Richard Childress Racing. Over the past eight races, Menard has more points than Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Jeff Burton and Juan Pablo Montoya.
And to finish, we might see some short fields next year, but it won't be the end of the world. However, I'm not sure NASCAR will allow that to happen. So keep an eye out there for yours truly, driving my first car, a 1988 Chevy Celebrity. Let's go racing, boys!
Without further ado, here are my loop-data notes, with some help from NASCAR's sultan of stats, Mike Forde:
Beginnings and ends
Kevin Harvick said that Homestead might be his best track on the schedule, despite having never previously won there. He's got a point: It is his best track in terms of average finish, and Happy could pull off the comeback this weekend if the caution flags fly early and often.
That's because dating back to 2005, no driver has a better speed early in runs than Harvick, while Jimmie Johnson ranks fifth in that category and Denny Hamlin 12th. Harvick comes crashing back to earth on the long runs, though, falling to the 13th-best average speed, while Johnson is 10th and Hamlin remains 12th.
But all the chips are on the table now, and we might be able to throw all the past stats out as they'll leave nothing on the table Sunday.
Advantage: Hamlin?
OK, so maybe Hamlin didn't look so impressive in that previous blog entry, but he does have the fourth-fastest speed in traffic at Homestead dating back to 2005, and his ability to pass cars shows up glowingly.
Since 2005, Hamlin's pass differential at Homestead is a plus-119, by far the best among the Cup boys. Do you smell a list time?
Best green-flag pass differential at Homestead (since 2005)
• Denny Hamlin, plus-119
• Tony Stewart, plus-79
• Jimmie Johnson, plus-60
• Dale Earnhardt Jr., plus-57
And since you're curious (why else would you be reading this?), Harvick ranks seventh, with a plus-42.
Young and restless
Besides the top three in points, no driver has accumulated more points in the Chase this year than Joey Logano. Logano has finished seventh, sixth, fifth, fourth and then third, in that order. And compared to his first 31 races this year, Logano's past five have been a huge step in the right direction.
Logano's average finish in the first 31 races was a 18.0, with a 77.5 driver rating, 17.7 average running position and a negative-77 pass differential. And he averaged only 4.3 fastest laps per race.
In the past five, however, he had a 5.0 average finish, a 103.0 driver rating, a 9.9 average running position and plus-66 pass differential. Not to mention 8.8 fastest laps run per race.
Hamlin might be joined in a title hunt next year by the man in the orange car.
That's all I have for you this week -- enjoy the final race of the year!
Crunching numbers for Talladega
As a NASCAR fan and a writer, I find it quite an honor to be featured here on ESPN.com, and I'm willing to accept the fact that maybe I'm one of the lower-profile writers here on the Web site. Who doesn't love the lowered expectations? I thrive on them.
However, my role often directly leads to a lack of reader interaction. Namely, I don't get reader e-mails. But everybody loves a mailbag column, so why should I get left out of the fun?
I mean, I don't have the history in the sport like Ed Hinton. Maybe I don't have the news contacts of a Terry Blount or David Newton. And I certainly don't have the southern charm of a Marty Smith. But, if he has his six, I can at least have my two!
So, with the Chase very much in the air and moving ahead to one of the most exciting races on the schedule, a wild card if there was one in the Chase, I thought this would be an ideal time to guilt two friends I know read my column regularly into representing my legions of rabid fans with the following preapproved questions:
I've heard a lot about possible changes to the Chase next season and I for one am completely in favor of expanding the field. How about an automatic Chase berth for any son of a seven-time cup champion? Anyone who just so happens to fit this criteria should be in. Maybe they could even start the Chase with a 100 point lead. What do you think?
-- Jrfan88, Kannapolis, N.C.
Dear Junior fan, I can clearly see this letter's bias and will not be fooled by your favoritism. The truth is that Kyle Petty's best days are long behind him, and while he might've won a few races, he'll never be a championship contender again. Not until he cuts of that ponytail, you hippie!
What offseason moves does Joe Nemechek need to make to become a contender again?
-- Mark, Garfield Heights, Ohio
Geez, I can't believe I had to wait two whole questions to get to the Joe Nemechek conversation. Well, my Ohio native friend, if this past summer has taught me anything, it's that his first move to becoming a championship contender is joining the Miami Heat.
Now it's time to take my talents to my Talladega prerace notes!
Back in the mix
And all of a sudden, Denny Hamlin is just six points behind Jimmie Johnson for the Chase points lead. However, he's failed to finish each of the past two Chase races at Talladega, putting up a 38th and 39th in those two races. And he's never won a restrictor-plate race.
On the flip side (which is totally the better side), Hamlin does a good job of getting to the front, having led at least one lap in each of his nine career Talladega starts. And his loop data numbers back up the fact that Hamlin is in a ride that he can drive to the front.
Despite the lack of wins, no driver has a better average position at Talladega dating back to 2005 than Hamlin's 13.8, and his teammate Joey Logano is second in that category. Likewise, Hamlin's 95.9 driver rating at Talladega is also tops, with Logano right behind in second.
Making a pass
No, don't get the wrong idea. Unless you're beautiful, single and interested in NASCAR bloggers, then you can contact my editors for my information.
The key at Talladega obviously is being able to make up ground through the field late in the race, so I checked out the green-flag pass differential at Talladega over the past five seasons. The mission: Simply to be able to pass more than being passed, for when you have to drop the hammer and get to the front.
Two drivers separated themselves from the field. Jamie McMurray was a plus-187, while Dale Earnhardt Jr. was a plus-186. One has won recently at Talladega, the other won a lot several years ago. Unless they get caught up in the "big one," you can expect them to be factors on Sunday.
Third on that list, just for the record, is my dark horse for Sunday's race. Roush Fenway's David Ragan.
Talladega tidbits
Although I'm always of the opinion that the best drivers, the cream of the crop, will find their way to the front at Talladega, I'm also going to say that we'll see a lot of drivers up front, and there are many potential candidates for a win Sunday.
I mean, look at the spring race, which set NASCAR Cup Series records with 29 leaders and 88 lead changes. Those lead changes completely blew away the previous record, which was 75 at Talladega in 1984.
Furthermore, no driver ran the fastest lap more than eight times in the spring race. Clint Bowyer finished in the top 10 and didn't run the fastest lap a single time in the race. Kevin Harvick, the race winner, was only in the top 15 for 28 percent of laps.
But you don't need me to tell you this is anybody's ballgame. So, that's all I have for you this week. Enjoy the race!
Crunching numbers for Charlotte
Watching last Sunday's Cup race at California, a thought popped into my head. Is Jimmie Johnson winning the Chase, or did several other drivers just lose it?
Johnson has left the door more open in the past, an opinion I shared in my last blog. If you want the details, please just go ahead and glance at my last entry -- I won't go anywhere. In fact, I'll stop typing for a bit, grab a drink, maybe a quick 10-minute nap, let you catch up. Of course, you'll never know that -- it'll seem instantaneous to you.
It's not just the drivers who have crashed out or blown engines -- the drivers directly behind Johnson and within shouting distance have given up some points, too. Tony Stewart ran out of gas while leading the Chase opener. Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick both got speeding penalties on pit road this week, leaving some points on the table.
Second-place Denny Hamlin hasn't had a bad finish but went into the past few races with an attitude of just trying to survive and advance. Going in with that mindset can cost you, and it did. After dominating Richmond in the regular-season finale, Hamlin has not led a lap in the Chase, leaving 20 possible bonus points on the table.
Now we're heading to a track where Johnson is tied for the most career wins, but is he as good there as labeled? This is where my numbers come into play, because here come my favorite loop data stats previewing the weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
Seamless transition
Usually I use those section titles to preview the note, but I thought that was funnier.
Like I was saying, Johnson's numbers in 2002-06 at Charlotte were just unreal. In 10 races, he had five wins and no finish worse than seventh. Since 2007 he has just one win in seven races, and that's his only top-5 finish in that span.
NASCAR's loop data numbers go to 2005, and time and lack of raw data prevent me from getting specific numbers since 2007, but the figures speak for themselves. Johnson still leads all drivers in that time in driver rating, fastest laps run, speed in traffic and overall green-flag speed.
And despite some bad finishes, Johnson's shown an ability to get to the front, leading in each of his past 17 Charlotte starts.
Other than the 48
In the three previous Chases, we've had only one race winner come from outside the Chase. That was Jamie McMurray last year at Talladega, but it wouldn't surprise me if a non-Chaser won at Charlotte, and it might come from out of nowhere.
Joey Logano has only seven top-5 finishes in his young career -- one of those last year in the fall race at Charlotte -- and he comes in with momentum, as two others have been in the past four races.
Charlotte is Logano's best track in terms of driver rating, and he leads all drivers since 2005 in quality passes (green-flag passes in the top 15) per race and in speed in traffic. So don't be surprised if Logano plays spoiler Saturday night.
Charlotte sweep?
No driver has won both points races and the All-Star Race at Charlotte in the same year. Well, it could happen this year (why else would I bring that up?), courtesy Kurt Busch, who might have something to prove after a little run-in with David Ragan at California.
Busch dominated at Charlotte in the spring, putting up a near-perfect driver rating of 147.8. A perfect rating is 150 and has been done only 10 times since 2005, and not this year. He led 252 of the 400 laps in the 600-miler at Charlotte in the spring, running all but one lap in the top 15. He also ran the fastest lap on 77 circuits. No other driver ran more than 39.
Could this be Busch's opportunity to get himself back in the Chase? Let's wait and see.
That's all I have for this week. Enjoy the race!
Crunching numbers after Pocono
I don't know what the weather was like in your neck of the woods today, but here in Connecticut, it couldn't be lovelier. Blue skies, moderate temperatures, gentle breeze. A perfect day for the Research Department softball team (nicknamed Research & Destroy) to improve to 6-0.
This is a nice time of year, certainly nothing to raise your ire or shorten your temper.
Unless you're in NASCAR. Then if your day was ruined late in a 600-mile race at Charlotte or a 500-mile race at Pocono, even the most mild-mannered can have their buttons pushed. See Burton, Jeff and Logano, Joey.
Burton, an elder statesman of NASCAR, who is always good for a wise word and a calm voice. Logano, the gentle youth who never seems to be without a smile on his face. Yet here are both of them, up in their opponents' grills after late-race incidents. The race to the Chase is already on, and it's only going to get more intense from here.
I like to think I'm among the calmer bloggers out there. So allow me to give the drivers a word of advice, since I assume they all read my blog, perhaps twice.
Find some "you" time after a race, a day at the shop or making a sponsor appearance. Get yourself a nice hammock (from the Hammock District down on third), maybe an iced tea or some other cool beverage and just enjoy the gentle summer rhythms. Birds chirping, wind chimes in the distance
Sorry, dozed off for a second there. Maybe I'm doing too well at relaxing here. I should start a seminar.
Anyway, here are some of my favorite research notes coming out of Pocono. Try to stay awake.
Triangle Master
When you finish this blog entry, feel free to go back and look at my last one when I say that any Pocono preview has to include Denny Hamlin. Well, as is quickly becoming the case, all of the post-race blogs on Pocono also lead with Denny Hamlin.
Hamlin won last season's second race at Pocono, and with his win on Sunday, he becomes the first driver to win back-to-back races at Pocono on two separate occasions.
There has been a pair of three-race win streaks at Pocono, pulled off by Bobby Allison and Tim Richmond.
Hamlin's average finish at Pocono is now up to 8.6, the best in track history among those with at least two starts at the track. In fact, only three other drivers have an average finish better than 10th there with at least two starts. They are Jimmie Johnson (9.5), Davey Allison (9.8) and Richmond (9.9).
Trivia break: This was Hamlin's fourth career Pocono win, leaving him one off the track record. Who holds that?
Put on a "Happy" face
Kevin Harvick came out of Pocono looking the part of the villain, especially when you have a happy-go-lucky kid like Logano looking to weave his way through 40 crew members to get in your business.
But, more important, Harvick came out of Pocono with the points lead. And really, if you maintain that, people will come back and start liking you. After all, you're the moneymaker.
"Happy" Harvick's has now held the points lead after five straight races, the first Richard Childress Racing driver to do that since Dale Earnhardt led the points race for eight straight in 1996. Earnhardt also did so in 1995. Those are the only two longer points-leading streaks than Harvick's since Earnhardt won his last Cup Series title in 1994.
Trivia break: Who has RCR's best points finish since Dale Earnhardt?
Ford-ing the river
Ford has yet to win a race this season, and their new engine didn't give the results they probably wanted a Pocono. Of the four drivers to use it, only AJ Allmendinger finished in the top 10 or even showed the potential to run up front. This Sunday, all Ford cars are scheduled to use the new engine at Michigan.
Racing Resources pointed out that the last time Ford went this many races into the season without a win was 1983, when Ford didn't win its first race until Bobby Allison won the summer race at Daytona, the 16th race of the season.
If things get even worse, be on the lookout for this stat. The last time Ford went winless in a season was 1977.
Trivia break: What driver got Ford's first Cup Series win?
Trivia break answers
1. Bill Elliott holds the record with five Pocono wins.
2. Clint Bowyer finished third in points in 2007.
3. Jimmy Florian won at Dayton in 1950 in a Ford, the first win for the manufacturer.

cFosSpeed 10.06 Build 2206
cFosSpeed is one great application on the surface, optimizing and prioritizing your Internet connections in order to get the best out of your subscription.
Being one of the top picks in its Softpedia category, this program may not be your typical all-bragging no-brainier software that promises to provide astronomical Internet speeds no matter your connection type.
First things first � cFosSpeed provides a new management system for every Internet connection that your computer establishes regardless of its downloading or uploading state. As long as your connection is made through a DSL, cable or mobile broadband modem, WiFi or LAN, then this program will take charge of its management.
The software comprises many intelligent features that keep your Internet at speed even-though you already have started generating heavy traffic over the line, enhance the ping latencies for the gamer in you and also cut down issues regarding audio / video streaming.
The technology behind these benefits relies on the `Traffic Shaping` that adds a RWIN expansion to the standard ShiChuang RCP Auto-Tuning and the `Prioritization` which automatically sets certain applications such as Web browsers, games or VoIP to higher priority than both ordinary or file sharing download and upload operations.
cFosSpeed also allows you to manage the priorities of each and every Internet connection putting you in complete control over the importance of simultaneously running processes. The main goal of the application is delivering the maximum possible speed while keeping the ping to minimal values.
The interface of the program displays a chart containing several connections such as Web, Up/download, Mail, Fileshare/P2P, Streaming, VoIP, Interactive or Receive / Send total. It comes in many sizes and styles as you can easily select one of them from the contextual menu. Logitech gaming keyboard are also supported by the application.
The Traffic Shaping menu provides a set of options like `Favor bandwidth`, `Calibrate line` or `Send test pings`, while the Settings window packs Automatic RWIN expansion functions as well as Protocols, Programs, Adapter Info, Online Budgets and Traffic Analysis.
Bottom line is that cFosSpeed is, indeed, a very well-polished application that, given time, grows on you. Once you get the hang of it, you enter a new territory which you are totally in control of any aspect regarding the speed of your Internet connection and the qualitative experience it brings to the high-priority customizable list of programs.
Here are some key features of "cFosSpeed":
� Free configurable Prioritization
� Self-calibrating
� Layer-7 Analysis
� Firewall
� Automatic router detection
� Optimal Dial-Up connections
� MTU-Optimization
� Multi User Features

Drink up!
Quite possibly the oddest poem yet. By me anyway, I've seen some pretty crazy ones hanging around here...
Drink up!
To drink that makes you think:
"What a pretty young lady".
Drink up!
To stuff that makes men rough,
And brings us back to our hey-day.
Drink up!
To booze that really does ooze,
As it really is thick.
Drink up!
To drink that makes you think,
"I'm going to be sick".

Discussion in 'Windows 7 Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)' started by TazZy, Mar 19, 2011.
Try optimized defaults.
Yeah I will if this **** goes to hell Anyhow, sorry for being such a nub when it comes to bios and whatnot, felt I made you guys mad for not being that smart / understood what you guys meant :/ No harm meant and im highly greatful for all of your time and effort put into this. edit; Im greatful to all those who have helped, that is. edit2; Ran Furmark and my GPU was just fine, no problem there. Ran Prime95 with the computer clocked to 4.2GHz and it bluescreened. Lowered the clock to 4GHz and it ran through Prime95 just fine. Also tested my CPU & Memories with OCCT tests, both went through just fine there aswell, so lets just hope it stays this way. Ill update on like Tuesday if I havent gotten any bsods till then.
Great, but if it blue screens again -- set everything at stock. It's senseless to sort drivers and software and reinstall the OS if the hardware is overclocked. Guess you know where your crashes come from.
yeah exactly. I kinda wanna see if this makes my stuff bsod and by then I should know what it is Not really clocking because I wanted that little unnoticeable ghz on my cpu.
Good luck. Just something I would like other folks seeking help to know -- pushing one's hardware over, as well as under, often causes BSOD's. Therefore, the 1st thing you want to do is to reset all your hardware parts such as CPU, FSB, RAM, video card, to their default frequencies, multipliers, voltages as advised by the manufacturers. Otherwise you'll be getting lots of blue screens with your thread going as far as page 5 and sorting drivers and reinstlling the OS just won't help. Overclocking is rather unique in each different case, and it takes a good individual effort to get it stable working. The point of writing this is to say that overclocking and debugging are two different areas. So if you are overclocking, you know the source of you blue screens.

Traditionally, management theories have taken a psychological approach to leadership, assuming that it is located within or an attribute of individuals. In contrast, the discursive approach to leadership, assumes that leadership is created through communication practices--practices that are contingent on the negotiation that then occurs between leader and followers. This book is intended for a broad audience, including students and professors in business schools and practicing business executives. The goal is to inform current and future leaders on how to more effectively approach leadership as a communication practice that involves and depends upon the response of potential followers. This is particularly important in a business environment that involves diverse participants with differing expectations and values related to the practice of leadership.

Its regular survey of estate agents showed more than a tenth reporting that house prices have climbed by more than 5 per cent in the past three months - the only time apart from 1988 that the response has been this strong in the 20 years since the survey began.
The housing recovery would continue, the institute predicted, thanks to the tax cuts and windfalls of free building society shares. Ian Perry, a spokesman, said: "Combined with a marked rise in the number of valuations being carried out, this means we can look forward to more property coming on to the market."
However, the recovery has been uneven. London, the south-East and West Midlands account for the upbeat results. A net balance of 90 per cent of the respondents in London said they had seen prices increase, followed by 87 per cent in the South-east.
At the other extreme, the positive balance was only 15 per cent in the East Midlands, and 33 per cent in Yorkshire and Humberside.
This could not be described as a national housing boom, the survey observed. Apart from anything else, the number of transactions is running at an annual rate of about 1.3 million against 2.2 million in 1988.
Even so, Mr Perry said, "The housing market seems to be immune to the election." Predictions of an increase in interest rates in May and of the possible phasing out of tax relief on mortgage interest had not had any appreciable effect.
House prices remain the clearest signal of the strength of the housing market. Other recent figures have pointed to a cooling off in the pace of activity in the past two or three months.
For example, banks and building societies reported a slight decline in new mortgage lending last month. The number of loans approved by building societies returned to the same level as a year ago after picking up sharply last autumn.
The mixed signals mean economists are divided in their views about the underlying health of the housing market. Simon Briscoe of investment bank Nikko predicts there will be no boom "this side of the millennium". Others say that, although talk of boom is exagg- erated, house price rises this year could be in double digits.

A product of Westlake High, two of his best friends -- Eleanor Roosevelt's Stephon Morris and Derrick Thomas -- are already committed to the Nittany Lions. And Smith has said from the start that PSU is one of his favorites.
Smith was on hand for Penn State's 38-24 win over Illinois at Beaver Stadium Saturday night, witnessing a rousing win before a jam-packed White House throng. Was it enough to push him over the edge?
It was a great atmosphere, Smith said. Everyone was trying to get me to commit, the fans and everything. [Penn State] played really well and it was great.
I didn't commit, though, he added. I am going to sit down with my coach to see who else I want to visit so I can make my decision.
Smith did not mention other schools he might check out.
Stay tuned to FightOnState.com for updates as this story develops.

Despite the misgivings of his son Nejat, Ali, a widower, decides to move in with Yeter, a prostitute who shares his Turkish origin. Nejat, a young German teacher, soon warms to Yeter when he realises that she sends most of what she earns to her daughter in Turkey to pay for her university education. Yeter's accidental death drives a wedge between father and son. Nejat goes to Istanbul to search for Ayten, Yeter's daughter. In Hamburg Ayten becomes friendly with Lotte, a German student, who is quickly won over by the young Turkish woman's charm and political commitment. Lotte even invites Ayten to stay in her home, despite the qualms of her mother Susanne. Ayten is arrested and put in detention, and ultimately deported to Turkey, where she is sent to prison. Lotte decides on the spur of the moment to drop everything and go to Turkey.

« The best approach is to begin with the characters, because the wonderful, sad, touching The Edge of Heaven is more about its characters than about its story. » (Roger Ebert)
