northeast tracks?
i know its currently winter, and cold as poo out there, which blows, but is there anyone from the NY, CT, RI, MA area that knows of a track in the northeast somewhere that has sanctioned drag nights during the upcoming warmer months? i know of only a couple tracks, one being a road course, and never see ads for track nights.
Don't know how far your willing to drive, but check out this website : [url=http://www.knollgasmotorsportspark.com]Knoll Gas Motorsports Park[/url] This track is in Michigan and has all kinds of events, I've raced there and it hosts racers from all over the U.S.

Hey there, What program are you using to send the command? and what is the response to that command? That may help us get this working for you.Duc.
Try not using the '/' so.. tell 26 "Hello there!"Would tell client 26 the message. I use HLSW and do not put the leading '/' on. I do not know whether that is the problem or not but worth a try. Duc.
I do not think in CoD4 you can use /tell, when I was trying to get this working (about 2 years ago if I remember) I could not get it to send the message.What I ended up doing is using the telnet plugin, then send the commands through telnet.
Telnet plugin does not working on Windows Standalone version of B3. If you fix it, we can install and use with pleasure.

As of October 2011, there were 1,229 hospitals across the US using social media i.e. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare and blogs (Source: http://ebennett.org/hsnl/)
Some of them don't appear to be serious at all – in fact I question their commitment to the healthcare social media conversation and wonder if it's just a 'feel good, let's be cool' type of thing.
But Dekalb Medical is not among them. This is one of the few organizations that are sincerely embracing new media in order to connect with the people they serve. Sure, they still have much to learn, but it is clear that they're making a genuine effort to engage their audiences in interesting ways.
Dekalb is stunning on Facebook
Dekalb has a small Facebook page with 509 fans. But everyone knows that big fan numbers don't mean that the page is healthy. The 'people talking about' is the statistic to watch if you want to know how well a Facebook page is interacting with people.
For an accurate picture take the 'people talking about this' number and divide by the total number of fans. A healthy Facebook page should have at least 1% – 5% (or more for greater interaction) – (Source: Social Media Examiner). At the time of this writing Dekalb's Facebook page had 78 people talking about them to give them a 15% interaction rate! That's one of the highest numbers I've seen on any Facebook page, let alone a healthcare organization – stunning performance!
Dekalb on YouTube
Of all the social media channels out there, I think YouTube is perfect for hospitals because it allows them to tell powerful stories from different perspectives, and to influence the general sentiment of their audience. So it's always great to see the hospitals that 'get it' and are taking advantage of this popular platform to reach their communities.
Dekalb is using YouTube to tell engaging patient stories of battles won, challenges overcome, and lives restored.
Dekalb on Twitter
As of this writing, the Twitter button on Dekalb's website was not linked to their Twitter account. I had to do a search of 'dekalb medical' on Twitter.com to find their profile. This is a quick and easy fix and there's no reason why the two (website and Twitter account) shouldn't be integrated. In this case, Dekalb is missing an opportunity to connect with a potentially huge Twitter audience.
Dekalb on Flickr
They have almost 400 pictures on Flickr illustrating different themes, moods and sentiments in their organization e.g. holiday parties, a ribbon cutting ceremony, several medical events, a re-union dinner, their 50th anniversary celebration and many more.
I think Dekalb has a very strong and appealing Flickr profile that speaks volumes about the kind of atmosphere one can expect to find at their facilities – dedicated, hardworking, professional, progressive, diverse, friendly and fun-loving! Pictures are an excellent way to showcase the brand essence of an organization.
Dekalb blog
Dekalb Medical does not have a blog on their website. I did a Google search for 'dekalb medical blog' and found that their CEO started a blog (or newsletter – it's hard to tell) back in March 2011.
They have the right intentions but the problem is that this blog resides outside the Dekalb Medical website and there's no apparent integration (or connection) between the two. The way I was able to make the connection was of course the obvious reference to Dekalb Medical, and the logo on the corner of the blog. A blog should always be part of your organization's website so that your audience is attracted to the hub of your business rather than driving them away from your site.
Key Takeaways
Dekalb Medical is showing a praiseworthy effort to join the online conversation and attract patient communities through their social media content.
- They have a healthy Facebook page with impressive interaction levels
- They're on Twitter although they need to integrate their profile with their website
- They have some stunning illustrations of the Dekalb Medical atmoshphere on Flickr
- They have started a blog but could use a solid content strategy to improve results
There's a lesson here for other healthcare organizations thinking about social media. You don't have to wait until you've figured it all out, you just have to start. In doing so, you establish your online presence, start making connections, solving problems and making a positive impact in people's lives.
Over to you: Has your organization established an online presence yet? How are you tapping into the social media conversation like Dekalb Medical is? Please share your thoughts below.

The new 2005 Fuel Economy Guide is now on-line at:
There is only 1 listing for the RWD V8 - 17 / 26.
That still confuses me with the vastly different final drive ratios.
And only 1 listing for the V8 AWD - 16 / 22.
Seems like quite a hit for the virtues of AWD, where (geographically) they matter.

Fortunate to live where RWD is just fine, thank you . . .

My dear sweet Chloe went to the Rainbow Bridge on Oct. 15.2011.
She was 17 yrs. old. We were vacationing in Florida last month...my sister, our dog, Shy, and Chloe. We went out for breakfast and came back to find our beloved Chloe had died. She had been acting just like her own self right up to the very end. She enjoyed her treats, purred, snuggled and slept in her bed....I guess she just got too tired. I'm sure Yola was waiting for her at the Rainbow Bridge...they loved each other. We had Chloe since she was 6 weeks old.....we miss her so much. Our hearts are heavy..we loved her so much....XOX
Thank you to everyone at Catster who chose my diary as DOTD..I am so honored! My fur sister Shallie was chosen twice and I wanted to try and be as good as her at writing...and I did it! Thanks so much...I feel soooo happy today!!
I'm still trying to not be afraid of Shy...but I am not having much luck! She is such a scary dog...she barks at me and tries to chase me...Mom keeps her on a leash when we are together..but I don't usually stay near her...I go upstairs where I am safe! Oh well...tomorrow is another day...maybe we will have better luck tomorrow.
Thanks again Catster...I feel GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!
Chloe Louise
Mom just found the photo of Yola and me sleeping next to each other...did you ever see anything cuter??? POL (purr out loud)
I loved Yola and she loved me...now if Shy would just love me too and not chase me! A girl can hope, right?

Showing Legs in my black dress
by Kimmie Sweetie, 7 years ago
Got my toe nails and finger nails polished ready for some action in my black dress. I love crossdressing in my dress and showing off my hot legs to everyone out there. If you don't like what you see then move on.
I decided to only post new videos on YouTube since getting my HD camera so any older videos will be posted here exclusively. Found this one and thought it was nice. Lot of memories.

With the coming of the iPad, we started to hear about MiFi, tethering and mobile hotspots.
The case for the MiFi is simple. You pay a single data plan for your MiFi (or your smartphone with tethering), and there you connect all your iPads, laptops, iPods, and any future connected mobile device with Wifi. As LTE comes, you just get one unlimited LTE data plan for your MiFi and that is all you need from the Telco! A single pipe that you take with you anywhere!
Heaven for the consumer!! Hell for the Telco!!
Still wondering why AT&T, Telefonica O2, Vodafone and other telcos STOPPED offering unlimited data plans soon after the iPad arrived? They have four good reasons for that:
- The obvious: Tiered plans avoid heavy users to congest the network (e.g. with P2P traffic). It also creates affordable plans to lure more users.
- The not-so-obvious: video is what drives traffic volume. Capping give telcos an (unfair?) advantage to distribute video content, compared with over-the-top. Example: Let's say Verizon offers 1 GB data plan for your iPad and a Video-On-Demand App to stream all the movies you want at $8/month. The movies that you see with the Verizon App do not count for the 1GB monthly limit. Would you take Netflix at $8/month, considering it will soon kill your 1GB limit? Or do you take the Verizon video App?
- The real game: Telcos want you to get one separate data plan for each mobile connected device: One for your smartphone, one for your laptop, one for your iPad, one for your connected car, one for each of the future Machine-to-Machine connected devices. Telcos will bundle packages, but they want you to value each device connection with its plan and its cap.
- Protect Wireline: Telcos must avoid that LTE replaces the Wireline broadband connection. All fiber investment and IPTV play could go to waste if put to compete with 100Mbps+ Unlimited LTE plans. The easy differentiation: Wireline broadband is unlimited. Wireless broadband is capped.
The telco end vision for a consumer:
- One unlimited wired pipe for the home (bundling TV and TV apps)
- Many capped wireless pipes for each of the mobile connected devices, phone, laptop, tablet, car… (bundling TV and other value-added services)

Tokyo to NYC street-life shines in Tate photo show
By Li-mei Hoang
LONDON (Reuters) - A toy gun-wielding child, New York high society at play and bored Tokyo commuters are just a few of the startling images at a new Tate Modern exhibition exploring the relationship between two of the 20th century's leading street-life photographers.
"William Klein + Daido Moriyama" features more than 300 vintage prints, paintings, original photo books and installations by U.S. photographers Klein and Japan's Moriyama in a show which runs from October 10 until January 20.
"We wanted to do a show where you have the (photo) book at the heart of the exhibition, particularly William Klein's book about New York, which is probably the most influential photo book of all time...and the idea of combining with Moriyama was natural because he was very influenced by William," co-curator Simon Baker told Reuters at a preview.
The two photographers are known for stark and candid photographs of street-life in the 1960s.
Huge black and white murals pasted to the Tate Modern's walls greet visitors, depicting the daily lives of people in New York, Tokyo and Moscow, capturing scenes of high society at a ball, children outside a candy store or commuters at a station.
Laid out as two halves of a conversation held between the two artists, visitors may recognize one of Klein's more famous portraits for fashion magazine Vogue on the Piazza di Spagna in Rome, where two elegantly dressed models wearing contrasting monochrome dresses are seen strutting on a zebra crossing surrounded by pedestrians and motorists.
Another picture, daubed with thick yellow paint, shows a young boy holding a toy gun aggressively towards the camera aiming directly at Klein, who produced a series of photo essays on New York, Rome and Tokyo each with his usual trademark wide-angle lens and candid close-ups of its citizens.
Moriyama's evocative images of Tokyo's actors and night performers, bored commuters at train stations, and a lone dog, which came to represent the artist in his later years, make up the second half of the show. Continued...

Bobby Sokol to play hockey at Hobart College
Bobby Sokol took a different path than most high school athletes do to college.
As a resident of North Belle Vernon, he attended Greensburg Central Catholic for two years and then was schooled by Pennsylvania Distance Learning Academy, where he was graduated from.
He played hockey for GCC for two seasons and one for Ringgold.
After his playing days were over at Ringgold, Sokol signed to play with the Rochester (N.Y.) Stars of the Eastern Junior A League to hone his skills for two years before picking a college.
After playing one season for the Stars, Sokol has committed to Hobart College in Geneva, N.Y. , an NCAA Division III school.
The combined corporation of the two colleges, Hobart College (Men's) and William Smith College (Women), are also known as The Colleges of the Seneca. Both are liberal arts colleges offering degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts in Teaching.
Hobart College competes in the ECAC West Conference and the Statesmen went 19-5-2 this season, including 11-3-1 in the conference.
"Hobart was the best school for me when it came to hockey," Sokol said. "It's a top-five D-III school and also has great academics. I think I'll be very happy there."
Playing for the Stars in the Eastern Junior Hockey League, Sokol was the team's leading scorer this season.
In 45 regular season games, Sokol scored 71 goals and added 32 assists for a total of 49 points, all team highs.
In five playoff games with the Stars, the 5-9 forward added one goal and two assists.
Sokol also played previously for the Pittsburgh Hornets,a team for 17-and-under players.
He playes inline hockey during the summer for a team out of the New Jersey and New York area called the Tour Roadrunners.
Sokol also works for the International Hockey College during the summer months working at player development camps and giving private hockey lessons.
He is the son of Robert and Lynn Sokol of North Belle Vernon.

Ground Cable Types & Sizes?
I'm convinced - my truck's ground is done incorrectly. My battery is about 18" rear-side of the firewall, under the floor, on the passenger side ... the ground cable from the battery post goes to the frame, which is obviously a bad idea.
In order to go from my battery post to the engine block/starter bolt, I need to have a long cable - around 46 inches or so.
1 - What size cable do I need to buy? Will the regular battery cable they sell at the auto stores be cool? Or should I get something heavier?
2 - What's the difference between those cables (above) which I assume are copper, and the flat woven type, which I guess is steel? ... which is best to use?

Acoustic Rock ... for real.
Lowes stores carry #1 wire for $.96 per foot. My battery is mounted in my trunk and i had the same set up as you. Ground to chassis then to starter, body to chassis. Ijust ran a #2 wellding wire from battery ground to starter about 13 feet long. Good luck!
Thanks, carnut.
BTW - If anyone's looking (like I am) to buy an Optima battery, here are the BEST prices I've been able to find :
Red Top @ $110 - including shipping!
Yellow Top @ $136 - including shipping!
http://optimabatterystore.com/
The site loads s l o w ... so hang tight.
Just get the heaviest gauge you can run and remember the starter only draws the big current for a few seconds or so. Sometimes a little longer than others.
Thanks again, bro'.
You can never have too many good grounds...
Ground the battery to the block, and the frame, and the body! and the block to the firewall/dash.
Grind/sand the grounding points to clean shiney metal, and tighten them well.
Glad to hear it said! Thanks again, esmeraldo.
That's just what I've been doing - wire brushing to clear metal, adding D-Electric grease, and making a clean, solid connection.
I'm a little confused : HOW do you ground the battery to the block, frame and the body when there's just ONE battery post/wire???
Also, how come no one ever mentions Di-Electric grease around here? It repels water and conducts electricity ... seems to me it should be a standard practice when ever making electrical connections of any kind! It's great to put in the sockets of spark plug wires, too, before slippin' 'em over the end of the spark plugs!

horvath, some wire brands are better than others when it comes to durability and making connections. the best wire i know of is sold by the foot at better custom car stereo shops.
some of these brands, including soundquest, stinger, streetwires, phoenix gold, and scosche are a little pricey, but they are available in HUGE guages (4ga, 2ga, 1ga, 0ga), which is desireable for achieving low resistance & good grounds. all most all of the best cables use copper wire. many companies make custom splitters and distribution blocks to allow multiple connections.
here are some benefits to using such wire:
-THICKER insulation. this is important when you're routing the cable through long runs and near heat sources. A thick jacket insures wear-resistance against areas of sharp sheetmetal, like when routing the wire through a hole drilled through the firewall. thicker jackets also aren't prone to cracking
-FINE, BRAIDED COPPER strands. the better brands of cable use a super-high strand count (i think my 4ga. soundquest cable has like 1,000 individual strands). this makes the wire much more flexible. if you've ever bent a normal cable back and forth too many times, you'll find the wire may weaken and eventually break. using more strands and braiding them makes for a cable that is more durable and also can be snaked though tight areas without strain or difficulty.
-CONNECTORS. many high-end cables have pretty cool connectors that making wiring jobs easier. besides creating a slick looking wire termination, better connectors are made to be used with specific sizes of wire, so they have better contact. they also use machine screws to clamp the wire, not crimping. this makes a connection that NEVER comes loose, but is reusable if you ever need to. besides termination connectors, there are also special distribution blocks & fuse holders available. distribution blocks will allow you to ground to multiple points or split the positive into many smaller wires.
-OXYGEN FREE packaging. many of the better wire makers have a process of removing most of the air from inside the wire before applying the insulation. this keeps the copper wire strands from oxidizing from the inside out (i'm sure you've torn open an old power wire and found it's green all the way through). removing the air remedies this pretty well, and many of the connectors are designed to keep the air from getting in at the ends.
-LOOKS GOOD. there are some cool-looking insulation jacket designs out there, from good ol' red and black to clear to tinted pink and grey, even purple and neon colors. typically, these jackets have a glossy, wet look that cleans up pretty well. i always wipe mine down when i'm under the hood. still looks like the day i bought it. connectors and D-blocks are available in gold if you like, but i use platinum plated versions that looks like chrome. cool!
if you're running only 46 inches, you can use 8 guage wire, but if you ever plan on running accessories, lights, or an amplified sound system, a 4 ga. would be better. also, the longer the cable run, the larger the wire needs to be. if your battery was in the trunk (or bed), you'd want a thicker cable like 4 guage to make the approx. 10 ft. run.
good luck! here are some links to check out...

I make all of my battery cables from #0 or #1 welding cable and solder on the appropriate ends. This stuff is extremely flexible, has super tough insulation and is available in any length. It is designed for much tougher service that it will ever see in your car.
Thanks willys36 ...
And DOUBLE thanks, 98rocket! That's a heap o' good info, bro'! I always wince at the cables they sell in the auto stores -- they look whimpy and they are always very stiff, maintaining kinks where they were originally folded, etc. I like top quality in any project I undertake and they just don't seem to fit the bill!
Off to check out them links ... and probably to spend some money.
PS : 98rocket - I've heard that clamp-type connectors are a no-no, and that you should only use the fully sealed connectors ... obviously you don't hold with that?
PS : willys36 - I've heard that soldering is a no-no on auto stuff ... I don't remember the "why" of it ... heat maybe?
[ April 19, 2003: Message edited by: horvath ]

No, it's the flux that over time and exposure causes secondary corrosion plus the solder joint is siff due to the solder bondiing all the wires togheter making it subject to fracture. These problems are serious in smaller diameter wires but in the big cables, they don't cause trouble.
If you don't trust solder you can get ends with crimp on or the type with the crimp screw collars.
You ever watch "Two Guys Garage" on the Speed channel? They say never use the clamp on ends ... again, I forget the "why" of it, but it looks like if you want to do things up right, you gotta go that way - I mean, the pre-made stuff just sucks, eh?

[quote]I mean, the pre-made stuff just sucks, eh?

I don't know if I would say 'sucks' considering that pre-made stuff is what's been keeping just about every car on the road running for decades. The reality is you can always do things to make the job nicer for both apearance purposes and durability but that doesn't mean it's neccessary. I would suggest taking everything with a grain of salt that you see on these tv shows. Some of it's good, some not so good. Willys said it perfect when he said "It is designed for much tougher service that it will ever see in your car". The reality is you could probably go and buy the cheapest pre-made battery cable at the auto parts store and it would still be better than what you have now. I understand wanting to do quality work and these guys have all given good suggestions to help you reach that goal but don't give yourself migraines over the details. Just make the cable and enjoy that truck.
Thanks dmorris1200. I just want to know I've got a *quality* ride going on ... I'm not looking to build a show vehicle, I just want to drive a good looking old truck, that runs good and sounds beefy, ya know? ... problem is, when you're just learning the basics, everything sounds important.
While on the subject of grounds, consider this. Years ago, while I was doing transmissions, we used to have problems with people that added stereos to their cars. What would happen is that they would not ground them properly. Sometimes someone would have taken a ground off the car while having done work under the hood. The result would be shifter and transmission TV cables that were welded together. Meaning that the cable was welded to the cable housing. Then the cable couldn't move like it should. They would also from time to time cause the bushings in the transmissions to be wiped out with arching from trying to ground. Always make sure that the body is grounded to the engine and frame.Many times electrical problems are caused from poor grounding. You really cannot have too many grounds.

Pair correlations between large transverse momentum neutral pion triggers (pT=4--7 GeV/c) and charged hadron partners (pT=3--7 GeV/c) in central (0%–20%) and midcentral (20%–60%) Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV are presented as a function of trigger orientation with respect to the reaction plane. The particles are at larger momentum than where jet shape modifications have been observed, and the correlations are sensitive to the energy loss of partons traveling through hot dense matter. An out-of-plane trigger particle produces only 26±20% of the away-side pairs that are observed opposite of an in-plane trigger particle for midcentral (20%–60%) collisions. In contrast, near-side jet fragments are consistent with no suppression or dependence on trigger orientation with respect to the reaction plane. These observations are qualitatively consistent with a picture of little near-side parton energy loss either due to surface bias or fluctuations and increased away-side parton energy loss due to a long path through the medium. The away-side suppression as a function of reaction-plane angle is shown to be sensitive to both the energy loss mechanism and the space-time evolution of heavy-ion collisions.

I've driven an E90 3-series, and the interior was just bland and outdated compared to the B7 A4. BMW stepped up their game in the F30 3-series, but I'd still take the B8 A4's interior over the BMW's. Also, BMW charges you extra for leather seats in the 3 series, which are standard in the Audi.

This is all referring to the top of the line models obviously, i wouldn't buy a bmw or mercedes that wasnt AMG, msport, M, fully loaded, etc.
for people who don't understand benz, just watch this video
i will also say that comparing mercedes and bmw isnt really useful, they are different animals. i am just saying that if you don't think mercedes is nice, drive a c63 or a g63 around for a few weeks and get back to us, haha.
it doesn't have to be a this or that argument. you can have both.
hands down my favorite benzs made are the g63 and the c63 black series.
When did I say Mercedes wasn't nice or lacked quality?
What I DID say, multiple times, is that Mercedes doesn't offer manual transmission on their cars. This is a FACT that you cannot argue with.
I don't drive automatics.

See the Whole Page
Here's one that came in from a reader regarding MS Word and labels.
The reader inquired about how you could see a document that's a whole page of labels in Word. You know, where you can edit them and make each one different, if that's what you please.
It's a very useful thing to know. I use this all the time at work and very rarely does the page contain all the same labels.
So, if a page of labels is something you've ever found yourself looking for, this tip is for you!
In older versions of Word, you need to start as usual in the Tools menu, Envelopes and Labels choice.
If you have Word 2007, you need the Mailings ribbon, Labels button.
Either way, once you're looking at the Labels tab, you'll need to select the correct label size.
Now, if you want them to be all the same, you can enter the label text in the address area provided and click the New Document button.
However, if you want a blank sheet of labels as well, just leave the address text box empty and click the New Document button.
A new document will be created with your labels visible.
That's it. That one little button certainly makes editing and multiple label pages easy to manage!
~ April

A reassuring aspect of the study, said Roger Garsia, a clinical immunologist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, was its findings on the effect of nicotine on these cells.
The study tested nicotine and other tobacco components, and found nicotine did not cause reduced levels of HLA class 1 cells.
"That is obviously very reassuring for people embarking on nicotine replacement therapy - it would have been of great concern if nicotine was to have same effect as other tobacco extracts," Dr Garsia told the Herald.
The study gave some insight into why smokers had such high rates of malignancies, he said, but shed no light on why the incidence of cancer took so long to reduce after people stopped smoking.
The study also indicated that tobacco did not have to be burned to reduce the HLA molecules.
"It is plausible that this is a component of the high incidence of not just lung malignancies in smokers, but cancers such as those of the urinary tract," Dr Garsia said.
He said the study needed to be replicated, because it was the first report of a non-biological agent having this kind of effect on cells.
"The task ahead is to hone down on specific components of tobacco that cause this effect."

Farmland values reached new record levels ending the year at an average of £21,053 per hectare and £8,520 per acre.
Agricultural land value growth over the long term exceeded residential house prices, FTSE 100 and 10 year gilt yield.
Sustained buyer demand and limited availability is driving price growth.
Farmland values set to rise by 6% p.a. over the next 5 years.
Southern and Eastern regions saw strong growth in arable land values – notably Eastern (+16.2%), South East (+15.4%) and East Midlands (+14.8%). FBT arable rents rose by 16.2%.
A number of encouraging positive indicators have driven land values to reach new record levels, exceeding equities and national house prices in the long term, according to Chesterton Humberts latest farmland market snapshot. The company forecasts that farmland values will increase by 30% over the next five years as the fundamentals driving growth become stronger.
Despite extreme weather conditions and a stagnating economy, farmland values in Southern and Eastern regions saw strong growth during 2012, with national figures ending the year at an average of £21,053 per hectare and £8,520 per acre. Meanwhile long term growth shows figures have quadrupled since 1995, outpacing national house prices (160.2%) and FTSE 100 (92.4%). Agricultural rents also exhibited healthy growth reflecting the uplift in land and commodity prices.
Andrew Pearce, head of Rural Agency puts this increase down to a shortage of available land and strong buyer demand; "Commercial farmers are taking advantage of rising food commodity prices whilst investors view the growing population, rising food demand and limited supply of land as a solid long term investment opportunity."
David Hebditch, head of Chesterton Humberts' Rural Division, explains: "Investors are increasingly showing a greater appetite for assets which exhibit good growth potential and are tax efficient.
Despite the recent adverse weather conditions, there is a compelling long term case for investing in farmland as the attractions of the sector with regard to scarcity value, rising food demand and tax advantages...
are set to continue for the foreseeable future. The increasingly unpredictable global weather conditions will likely exert upwards pressure on food commodity prices as well whilst new technology will create longer term greater efficiency and cost savings."
"We are quite bullish about medium term growth in farmland values given the likely supply/demand imbalance and have predicted that farmland values will rise by 6% per annum over the next five years, with larger good quality parcels capable of comfortably exceeding this."
Regional variations are apparent. The Eastern region recorded the highest growth in arable land values (+16.2%) and for pasture land (+13.6%) in 2012 whilst Wales posted the biggest decline for both.

I also like that they're a constant relief from most comic relationships which are a mess of fights over nothing, breakups, psychic cheating, UST, etc.
You're right, we could. It's not like there will ever by an NYCC year where I don't do Marvel. Though my list is getting longer and more varied, come to think of it. I updated my signature with all our ideas. Want to cast a vote?
Runaways under BKV is arguable one of my favorite runs on a Marvel book to date, if not my fave (also see Morrison's NXM). That FCBD one-shot he did with the X-men is one of the best done-in-ones I've read as well. BKV OWNS!
As far as obscure Marvel characters go, anyone I like usually blows up in terms of popularity after a few years-Deadpool, Ms. Marvel, Iron Fist, Hawkeye....granted that means more awesome comics with them, so it evens out. Nowadays, I think the only characters I'm SUPER into that count as obscure are the Runaways cast and....Darkhawk. Yeah....definetly Darkhawk.
As for voting for a character, HNG, that's rough. Starjammers are an inspired choice, as I NEVER see them cosplayed, but I'm also partial to Wanda. Your choice really, I'm cool with either, as having both Clint and Scott in my cos-robe means group fun can be had in 2k13 :3
Stalk me on twitter! @theanarchris, THEN IMMEDIATELY REGRET YOUR DECISION!
I think that a huge problem is people who read comics and don't understand the point of superheroes, which is to be the best version of yourself. You love Captain America? Well, you know what Captain America would never do? Go online anonymously and shit on a girl for having an opinion

P2153 Fuel Injector Group C Circuit Low
OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description
Patrick Cameron
Red Seal Certified Technician
Fuel Injector Group C Circuit Low
What does that mean?
This is a generic powertrain diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and typically applies to OBD-II vehicles. That may include but is not limited to vehicles from Dodge Ram (Cummins), GMC Chevrolet (Duramax), VW, Audi, Ford (Powerstroke), Mercedes Sprinter, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, Nissan, Saab, Mitsubishi, etc. Although generic, the exact repair steps may vary depending on year, make, model and powertrain configuration.
Fuel injectors are an integral part of the fuel delivery systems in modern day vehicles.
Fuel delivery systems use varying amounts of components to control and monitor the volume, timing, pressures, etc. of the system in conjunction with the ECM (Engine Control Module). Fuel injectors were introduced as a replacement to the carburetor because injectors are more efficient and effective in controlling fuel delivery. As a result, they have improved our fuel economy, and engineers have been actively designing more ideal ways to increase efficiency to this design.
Given the fact that the injector's spray is controlled electronically, supply voltage is crucial in supplying fuel to the cylinders. That said, a problem in this circuit can and/or will cause significant drivability issues among other potential hazards/symptoms.
The group letter "C" in this code is used to distinguish what exact circuit the fault is referring to. To determine how this applies to your particular vehicle, you will need to refer to manufacturer specific technical information. Some examples of distinctions with injectors: Bank 1, 2, etc., paired injectors, individual injectors, etc.
The ECM illuminates the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) with P2153 and/or related codes (P2152, P2154) when it monitors a fault within the supply voltage to the fuel injectors and/or their circuits. The fact that the fuel injectors' harnesses are routed in close proximity to extreme temperatures should be noted. Because of the location of the harnesses, they are volatile to physical damage. With this in mind, I will say, most of the time, this will be a mechanical issue.
The P2153 Fuel Injector Group C Circuit Low code is active when the ECM detects a low voltage condition within the supply voltage circuit within the fuel injectors or their circuits.
What is the severity of this DTC?
Pretty severe I would say. In the field, we call a lack of fuel in the mixture being burnt, a "lean" condition. When you engine is running lean, you run the risk of causing extreme engine damage in both the immediate and distant futures. With that in mind, always keep up on your engine's maintenance. There needs to be a certain amount of diligence here, so let's keep our engines running smooth and efficient. After all, they ARE pulling our weight around to transport us on a daily basis.
What are some of the symptoms of the code?
Symptoms of a P2153 trouble code may include:
- Erratic engine performance
- Misfire
- Fuel economy reduced
- Erratic idle
- Excessive smoke
- Engine noise(s)
- Lack of power
- Cannot climb steep hills
- Reduced throttle response
What are some of the common causes of the code?
Causes for this P2153 fuel injector group supply voltage code may include:
- Defective or damaged fuel injector(s)
- Damaged wiring harness
- Internal wiring malfunction
- Internal ECM issue
- Connector problem
What are some P2153 troubleshooting steps?
Basic Step #1
First recommended step is to locate which "group" of sensors the manufacturer is referring to. With this information, you can then find the physical location of the injector(s) and their circuits. This may involve removing numerous engine covers and/or components to gain visual access (if possible). Make sure to inspect the harness for frayed wires. Any worn-away insulation should be properly repaired with shrink-tube to prevent further and/or future issues.
Basic Step #2
At times, water and/or fluids may get "trapped" in the valleys where the injectors are installed. This increases the odds of the sensor's connectors, among other electrical connections, to corrode at a faster than normal rate. Make sure everything is how it should be and the connectors tabs are properly sealing the connection. Don't hesitate using some electrical contact cleaner to make everything connect and disconnect smoothly, not to mention the increased electrical connectivity within the connections with the use of this product.
Basic Step #3
Verify the integrity of the circuit by following troubleshooting steps provided by your specific vehicle's service manual. One example is to disconnect the supply voltage circuit from the ECM and at the fuel injector, then using your multimeter, determine whether or not the wires are in good working order.
One test I like to do to determine quickly if there is an open within a particular wire which would help with code P2153 is to do a "continuity test". Setting your multimeter to RESISTANCE (a.k.a.: ohm, impedance, etc.), touch one end to one tip of the circuit and the other end at the other tip. Any higher then desired value may indicate a problem within the circuit. Any issue here will need to be determined by tracing the particular wire you are diagnosing.

So Happy to Be Implant Free!!! - Las Vegas, NV
I had 360 cc smooth saline implants under the muscle for 15 years. I am 5ft 8" tall, and at the age of 23 thought I needed to have at least a C cup to match my curvy figure. Also, I lived in Los Angeles, where all of my friends were getting bigger breasts and it seemed pretty simple. I hated the feeling of having implants in my body the minute I woke up from surgery. I lost a lot of feeling in... READ MORE

I'm so happy to hear it went well with your surgery! Happy healing! There is nothing better than soft natural breasts :) READ COMMENT
Joylily, I hope your surgery went well and you are on your way to a wonderful recovery! You've made it through the hardest part by now. Good luck :) READ COMMENT
Thank you. I am very happy with my results and am a year and 8 months healed now. My breasts remain the same as I was at about 8 months. I did have a complete capsulectomy. My doc said there was a small amount of scar tissue on my rib... READ COMMENT
Wow that's great! The hardest part is behind you. Now just focus on healing. It's all uphill from here☺ READ COMMENT
Thank you so much Bluebell68! It has been 16 months now and I feel fantastic! It seems like a lifetime ago since I had implants. I love how soft and pretty my breasts are now! And I do feel they look much nicer than my implants look. READ COMMENT

Dramatic changes to the UK's academic landscape over the past seven years mean the country's expertise in languages is danger of being lost.
Data published today shows research into some European languages has dropped as universities have shifted their focus to sports science and media studies in response to student demand. And the government's determination to protect funding for science means less money to go round for higher numbers of academics in arts and humanities.
Universities have recruited 239% more academics in media studies, 110% more in sports studies, 156% in nursing and midwifery and 101% in business studies – amounting to thousands of researchers.
But because Hefce has been instructed by ministers to protect science funding, this will mean funding increases in arts, humanities and social sciences will be spread more thinly between more eligible researchers in these areas.
Overall 29% more researchers are now eligible for research funding.
In contrast, academic numbers in traditional sciences such as chemistry, biology and physics have increased by just 3%, 9% and 12% respectively over the same period.
Languages and area studies have been hardest hit with falls of 13% in French, 12% in German and 7% in Italian.
This means research funding for French will drop by £3m and German by £1.6m. European studies will lose 42% of its current funding, or £3.3m.
Professor Pam Moores, chair of the University Council of Modern Languages, said: "It's a major concern. Student programme numbers are protected because languages are strategically important subjects but languages research doesn't have the same protection and there has been a shift in funding towards the sciences.
"The overall number of language researchers across the country is changing and some departments are strong but others are folding."
The country needs language research to fight terrorism and international crime and to produce flexible, internationally-minded graduates, she added.
But Prof Mike Kelly, director of the languages, linguistics and area studies subject centre at Southampton University, said departments could potentially suffer.
"A lot of the expansion in new subjects has been in the post-1992 universities and they are now getting research funding recognising their achievements – as they should – but it means research funding is more thinly spread in traditional language departments who are mainly in the Russell group and other pre-92 universities," he said.
"Research funding has moved from pre to post-92 university groups and the Russell group is particularly badly hit. That's even more true of arts and humanities if you include subjects like media and sport.
"You could call it a dilution of overall research funding."
Prof David Eastwood, chief executive of Hefce, said: "The changes in subjects are following student demand. For all institutions in modern languages, teaching funding is greater than research funding so that will have to reduce as demand falls off.
"Universities will face quite hard choices over the new few months. There's overcapacity in staff and the student demand is not going to change any time soon."
He said universities that had poured resources into the arts, humanities and social sciences had not been misled about the funding they would receive as a result of doing well in the 2008 RAE.
"It has been quite clear for the better part of a decade that the government is investing heavily in science. The 2004 framework for investment made a strong commitment to investing in science and the science base. Any institution that understands the way research funding works could see it doesn't just follow volume. They needed to think about quality, volume and where research priorities lay. We have very faithfully reflected that in our decisions.
"What we've done is say the proportion of our research funding going to science will remain constant. We haven't taken money that used to be with social sciences and reallocated it to science," he said.
The funding comes in a block grant to universities. Vice-chancellors decide how the money is shared between departments.
The 1994 group of smaller research-intensive universities called for a debate on the funding and development of subjects of strategic importance.
"To address climate change, compete in the global economy, and combat international terrorism subject areas such as linguistics, geography and environmental studies, politics and international relations, accounting and finance and languages are crucial to the UK's success," it said.
Prof Paul Wellings, the group's chair-elect and vice-chancellor of Lancaster University, said: "The group would welcome a debate on what expertise is needed to meet these global challenges and whether enhanced investment is required."

Father, infant medevacs draw attention to lack of road between King Cove and Cold Bay
Two U.S. Coast Guard medevacs in a single day shine light on a fight that's been waging on for nearly 40 years.
ANCHORAGE – Residents of King Cove say they need a road to the all-weather airport in Cold Bay, but the federal government is standing in the way.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell decided back in December 2013 that, "building a road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge would cause irreversible damage not only to the refuge, but to the wildlife that depend on it."
After four medevacs so far this year, residents of King Cove are asking, "What about the people?"
The U.S. Coast Guard was called for two of those medevacs out of King Cove this month.
One patient was nearly crushed by 600 pounds of fishing equipment. The other patient was having breathing issues. Those two patients were Walter Wilson and his 6-week-old son, Wyatt.
As Wyatt lies in the Alaska Native Medical Center, he lets out a subtle wheeze with each breath. That, according to his father Walter, is a sign of progress.
"Still got the cough and a little groggy through his nose breathing, but he's doing better and better," Walter said. "That's a good thing."
A very good thing, considering Wyatt actually stopped breathing while waiting six hours for a medevac to Anchorage. That's where Wyatt would have to go to receive the life-saving care he needed for treatment of his respiratory syncytial virus, an illness that can prove fatal, and nearly did in Wyatt's case.
Waiting next to Wyatt in King Cove's primary care clinic is his father Walter, in excruciating pain after 600 pounds of fishing equipment nearly crushed him.
"In the afternoon is when it happened. I got here the morning after," Walter said. "I just couldn't do nothing. My hips were out of place until I got here to Anchorage."
It's a story out of the Alaska Peninsula that has become far too common, according to King Cove Mayor Henry Mack.
"We're thankful that we haven't lost anybody but, my God, we need this road," Mack said.
Mack has been fighting for the road that would've saved Walter and Wyatt and so many others from wasting critical time waiting since the 1970s with little progress.
The road would connect the small community of King Cove to the all-weather airport in Cold Bay, where patients could immediately fly to Anchorage to receive care.
With no road, the Coast Guard is tasked to transport patients.
"They're gracious men and women who come and help save our people," Mack said. "If we had a road that we could use to get over to Cold Bay, we didn't have to have the Walter Jr.s and his son, the Irene Newmans …"
Or Mack's own grandson, Nick, who was forced to wait seven hours for a medevac while suffering respiratory failure.
"We had to sit with him all night long," Mack recalls. "You know, you sit there and you watch him try to gasp for air and you've just go to hold him close, rub him."
Setting aside the suffering of the men, women and children of King Cove, Jewell has decided the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge needs protecting more than these residents need that road.
Jewell's office responded to KTVA's request to speak with her via email citing her Dec. 23 statement on this decision saying, "I understand the need for reliable methods of medical transport from King Cove, but I have concluded that other methods of transport remain that could be improved to meet community needs."
Mack says advocates for the road to Cold Bay are planning to travel to Washington D.C. this coming week to speak with Jewell.
"People really need to know what's going on," Mack said. "This is about our lives, our young people's lives."
Meanwhile, as Walter and Wyatt heal, they'll serve as yet another mile marker on the long-awaited road to King Cove.

Saks will pass on lower prices for luxury brands
By Tim Gaynor
TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) - Saks Inc will pass on lower prices from top brands such as Prada and Christian Dior, which the upscale chain said on Friday will help spur sales during a deepening economic recession.
Saks, while reaffirming it will not endanger its high-end image despite market conditions, said it would be able to pass on lower prices for select luxury items as competition for dwindling customers heats up.
The 84-year-old company, which is battling rivals from Neiman Marcus Group Inc to Nordstrom Inc, had pledged it would not resort again to the broad discounting of the 2008 holiday season, during which the firm discounted luxury brands by up to 75 percent, sending shockwaves through the industry.
But price ranges had now widened, meaning cheaper prices were available, Saks CEO Steve Sadove said.
"What we are we finding is our customer is gravitating to the very best pieces, but they are also moving down a little bit because of good pricing," Sadove told a retail conference in Tucson, Arizona.
"Prada is now selling a $700 handbag, versus their lower- priced one being $1,000 ... At Christian Dior, an entry price handbag was about $1,500.
"If you look to this fall, you are going to see Christian Dior sell a $950 handbag," he added.
"What you're seeing is a gravitation and a widening of the mix that a Prada, that a Chanel" will offer. "A widening of the price point within the brand." Continued...

SOPA is Hollywood's attempt to "kill" the Internet as we know it. Y Combinator says let's return the favor.
An unsigned post on startup seed funding site Y Combinator put out RFS 9: Kill Hollywood today. This "Request For Startup" declares that "Hollywood appears to have peaked" and wants to redo the movie and TV industry more along the lines of technology startups. Searching for "better ways to entertain people" is the goal of RFS 9, and this could come from new ways to create "Hollywood" style entertainment outside the "Hollywood" system to new interactive games and social sites.
Y Combinator believes SOPA is a sign of Hollywood grasping at legal straws as they die, and a huge potential audience awaits companies that can figure out what we all want to do for fun in 20 years. Just as Microsoft overcame IBM and Google overwhelmed Yahoo, something will replace Hollywood. And the search, with potential startup funding, starts now.
Great idea
Over and over again, Hollywood has produced films that fail to deliver and blame it on piracy.ctwk on news.ycombinator.com
The big studios think that if piracy is stopped all those people will pay to get their content.... But the fact is people will simply ignore their content and look elsewhere.Ganesh Nayak on plus.google.com
In my eyes tonight, they killed themselves - ethics aside.753951258 on reddit.com
14 films, including short films, at this year's Sundance received some portion of their funding via Kickstarter.waterlesscloud on news.ycombinator.com
Wrong approach

your best defence against piracy is to create good software and let people buy it for a reasonable price.Fraser Cain on plus.google.com
By the way, brands are beating Y Combinator to the punch. Who has funded television since it began? Brands, and they're starting to skip tv and the exorbitant price of advertising there and create their own content.crewtide on news.ycombinator.com

I imagine within a couple years we'll see more and more shows picked up by studios like Amazon Instant and Netflix instead of NBC, FOX and the like.marysville on reddit.com
Is there any other institution more deeply entrenched in consumer's psyche that Hollywood? How do you beat that?

Paint will not stick in Bathroom!
3 Attachment(s)
My parents have spent quite some time now trying to paint their walls in their bathroom. In areas above the shower and along the partition walls, the paint fails to stick and is easily peelable. Along sheetrock joints, the paint is peeling as well. Supposedly years back paint was applied over wallpaper. Primers have been used (kilz) and still nothing works. Can't seem to figure out what will prevent this or how to fix it. Any thoughts?
If the peeling is worst directly over the tub or high up the walls near the ceiling, then the problem is most likely in the paint they're using, and has nothing to do with the primer under it. In fact, it's common to use a PVA primer in a bathroom and top coat with a bathroom paint. If you didn't understand that, read on...
In your pictures, the very first one is typical of what happens when you use a PVA paint in a wet area like a bathroom.
I think the other two pictures show a seam in wallpaper that's been painted over.
Here's the short version:
Your parents need to use a paint made for bathrooms, like Zinsser's Perma-White Bathroom Paint, or any competitor's equivalent. Such paints will be made from a plastic called "polymethyl methacrylate" or "PMMA" which you know better as "Plexiglas".
They don't have to do too much. From what I can see, the paint on their walls now is a fairly low gloss. If it's a latex paint, they can just scrape off that peeling paint, scrape away any loose plaster under it, patch with drywall joint compound, sand smooth, prime over the bare joint compound, and then repaint with a paint meant to be used in bathrooms. (Cleaning the old paint first and allowing time to dry would be a real good idea too.) The top coat of PMMA bathroom paint will keep the underlying paint dry, so it won't peel.
Here's the long version:
Most latex paints and primers made in North America are made from one of two different kinds of plastics:
1. Polyvinyl acetate or "PVA". Polyvinyl acetate is what white glue is made of. It makes a good plastic for making paint from because it sticks well, it's cheap and it's clear. PVA has a lot of problems. It's a great adhesive, but the problem is that it remains slightly sticky even when it's completely dry, and that causes problems with paints. The other thing is that PVA has LOUSY water resistance. That means that it's properties change when it's wet. It softens up. It looses it's adhesion to the substrate. And, in the case of wood glues, it even re-emulsifies. That is, it dissolves (kinda) into the water. In fact, the way furniture makers take apart furniture that's been glued together with white wood glue is by getting the joints wet so the glue falls apart.
That first pictures shows what happens when inexpensive PVA paints get wet or are even in a humid environment; they soften up and lose their adhesion to the substrate... that is, the paint film comes apart and starts to peel off the substrate. And then the plaster under the cracked and peeling paint starts to get wet too.
2. Polymethyl methacrylate, or "PMMA". Polymethyl methacrylate is what Plexiglas is made of. PMMA resins are simply better than PVA at everything when it comes to making latex paint except being inexpensive to buy. However, not all PMMA resins are equal. There are literally hundreds of different kinds of PMMA resins used to make everything from nail polish, acrylic floor finishes, grout sealers, concrete bonding agents, adhesives, additives for different kinds of cements AND latex paints and primers. Generally paint or primers made from PMMA resins are better than paints or primers made from PVA resins at:
i) sticking to damp or moist substrates
ii) not changing their film properties if they get wet
iii) standing up to highly alkaline substrates, like fresh concrete
But, normally to avoid problems with the paint remaining sticky after it's fully dried, to get better UV resistance, to get a harder and more durable film, or a film more resistant to acids, you're better off spending a bit more and getting a paint made with PMMA resins. (They can increase hardness and UV resistance in PVA paints with crosslinking resins and UV blockers, etc. but PMMA resins are inherently better than PVA in all these catagories to begin with.)
Any paint or primer that claims it's "100% Acrylic" will be made with PMMA resins. However, there are very many different kinds of PMMA resins, so the paint manufacturer has to decide on what characteristics are most important in the paint he's making.
Anyone making a paint specifically for bathrooms will not only use the MOST water resistant PMMA resins they can find, but will also add mildewcides which dissolve in the water based paint and leach out of the paint film any time it gets wet to kill any mildew spores that land on the paint before they can grow. Thus, a paint made specifically for bathrooms is the best kind of paint you can use in a bathroom. duh.
There, now you know more about the plastics that latex paints are made of than most people working in the painting industry.
I use Zinsser's PermaWhite in my 21 bathrooms, but ANY paint specifically made for bathrooms should provide much better service than the paint shown in your first picture.
Hope this helps.
Above and beyond all that was said above, the best would be to remove the wallpaper and start with a fresh wall.
Bathrooms are tough adhesion environments. At this point, I don't think wall-paper removal is an option... once it has been painted over, it's real tough to do.
First, ALL of the loose and failing paint needs to be aggressively scraped and sanded. If it is sticking, you can leave it there, but if it is loose, no topcoat is going to work.
Next, wash down the surfaces w/ a TSP solution; this will help to remove all the nasty residue that typically sticks to bathroom walls. Rinse.
If you have any loose wallpaper edges, glue them down.
Prime with a bonding primer... water-base should be fine, but you may want to try oil-base. I don't know much about paint chemistry, but you don't need to know anything to ask the guy behind the counter at a paint store for bonding primer. (I personally use Sherwin Williams PrepRite ProBlock Latex.) Whatever you do, do not buy your primer or paint at BigBoxCo. If you used Kilz2 as your primer, that is possibly the cause of a lot of your problems right there... it's an awful product.
Topcoat with a quality specialty bathroom paint from a paint store or Zinsser PermaWhite.
If possible, do not use the bathroom for showers or baths a week before or after the painting.
Not having my hands on this particular project to test it, I can't say if it's an option in this case, but it should be attempted...at least tested
I can say that the vast majority of paint-overs are done as short-cuts rather than it was the "only alternative", and are doomed to failure
It may take time...
Like this case has shown
I can also say that in this particular case (a tough environment bathroom, unknown previous products and prep, known poor products used with unknown prep), it would be most desirable to remove the wall covering
If removal is actually not possible (not merely an inconvenient labor and expense addition), then the room must be scraped and sanded
Then cleaned thoroughly
Often the usual paint prep cleaners are no match for the horrors of the bathroom (Glade/HairSpray/Perfumes/Candles)
I'd suggest using a few different ones at safe intervals to ensure the best surface prep
A specialty primer used (depending on what's left probably Zinsser's Gardz)
Joint compound repairs made, and the repairs or the whole thing re-primed
Then a few coats of premium self-priming Kitchen & Bath or other self priming washable mold resistant paint (Ben Moore/Sherwin Williams K&B, Zinsser's Perma-White, Ben Moore's Aura)
I can also say that in this particular case (a tough environment bathroom, unknown previous products and prep, known poor products used with unknown prep), it would be most desirable to remove the wall covering
Thank you,slick:thumbsup:
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I have to thank you all so much for the information on the bathroom paint! It is just what we were looking for. Do you know how this paint holds up to cold temperatures?
We have a small bathroom with shower, sink and toilet and the washer and dryer. Also, we have a south wall that catches a lot of wind in the winter and can get very cold.
We've had trouble over the years trying to get anything to work in there. We took the wallpaper off when we moved in because it was coming off on that south wall and other places. Then we painted, but it started peeling just like that first picture. Next, we put up tile board. I don't know if it was defective or just couldn't handle our room, but it has started flaking/peeling off behind the sink, toilet, shower and near the floor where water sometimes gets.
So now we're back at square one. We thought maybe a different paint would work (possibly like what you talked about), but worry about that south wall and the coldness there. Any other suggestions that might work. (It's a very heavily used bathroom since we farm and that's where everyone washes up)
Sorry if this needs to be a separate thread. Let me know if I need to do that. I was basically wondering about this paint that you mentioned. I'm glad I discovered this site. IT looks very helpful.
Providing you apply a paint made for bathrooms (like Zinsser's PermaWhite) when it's not cold in the room so that it adheres properly and forms a proper film, it should stand up as well as any other paint when it is cold in the room.
Thank you for your reply! I think this might be what we've been looking for.
Glad to help.
I think a big part of the problem is that most people aren't aware that latex paints are made from different kinds of plastics, and that some plastics are more suited to wet areas than others. So, you can do a really good job prepping a bathroom for painting, but still end up with paint cracking and peeling problems if you use the wrong KIND of paint.
If people aren't aware of that, then they always keep coming back to blaming the paint peeling problems on poor prep work. And, that can be perplexing to the homeowner who knows he bust his butt doing the best prep job he possibly could have.
I'm wondering if the same thing may be responsible for the concensus of opinion in this forum that the unique conditions in a bathroom make it hard to get paint to stick well.

Justice trigger is a Shmup (Shoot 'em up) in the spirit of Ikaruga, and Space Invaders. Justice Trigger is coded in Java using Slick2d. This is a one man show except for the Background Music which was done by someone who wishes to remain anonymous.
The gameplay is simple to play, but hard to master: evade the bullets of the opposition polarity while absorbing the bullets of the same polarity to store up for a all crushing Burst Attack (and score points based on each bullet absorbed). By killing a enemy with different polarity as yourself you'll increment your multiplier, but killing a ship the same color as yourself drops the multiplier down to 1 again.
The controls are:
Z - shoot
X - change polarity
C (Or Shoot + Change if you're using a controller) - Burst Attack
There is customizable control support for Justice Trigger. You can change the controller-config.cfg file to change the controller used, and the buttons. You'll need to know the name that Java gives your controller is though. You can also adjust your screen size and weather it's fullscreen or not, and also the bgm and sound FX volume.
