Al fresco feasts: How to have fun at a festival
Picnics are no picnic. If you're not contending with the vicissitudes of English weather there will be flies, dog dirt or hectoring pigeons. But for those brave enough to wish to combine al fresco music or theatre with al fresco food, here are a few suggestions.
A number of arts events will spare you the trouble of preparing a picnic. The Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park offers a four-course picnic plus wine at £22.50 per person. At the same price, English Heritage Picnic Concerts have linked up with Carluccio's to produce an Italian-style hamper.
While English Heritage's picnics specify a two-person minimum, Glyndebourne is willing to cater for one. Rather heart-warmingly, the lone concert-goer can share his or her picnic rug with another solo attendee. It's a sort-of match.com for the caviar-consuming classes. Glyndebourne hampers are predictably opulent, containing a tablecloth, glasses, china and cutlery. Too posh to clear up the remnants of your lobster salad and smoked salmon? Porters will be on hand to do it for you.
Picnickers who prefer to bring their own foil-wrapped marmite sandwiches and sit on macs or plastic bags and consider a leaky flask of milky coffee the height of luxury will enjoy BBC Proms in the Park. The Proms retains its original democratic vision and is unlikely to be horrified by plebeian tastes.
If it's all about the view, The Minack Theatre in Cornwall is another top place for a picnic. Appetites heightened by sea air, picnickers can enjoy their sandwiches while looking out over the Atlantic Ocean.
Miranda Kiek
How to have fun at a festival
It might sound obvious, but pack well. It is very annoying to arrive well-equipped with wellington boots, a mac, and hoody for the chilly evenings, only to find that the sun is blazing and you're without sunglasses, sun cream or a hat. Arrive onsite early, both to secure a pitch that suits either your need for proximity to the stages, or the family-friendly, quieter camping areas further afield, and to make the most of the early entertainment on offer, usually bands and films to warm up the weekend. Another tip is to pitch your tent on higher ground to avoid the muddy results of inevitable rainfall. For the iPhone owners, a useful application to download is the "Tent Finder" – its flashlight might prove a godsend in guiding you back to your canvas shelter. It might also be sensible to arrange a meeting point for you and your festival companions because mobile phone signals are notoriously unreliable onsite.
Music is your priority, so source a programme early on to start planning which bands to see. Be warned that stages at the larger festivals tend to be nicely spread out – at Glastonbury, it takes 45 minutes to cross from the John Peel Stage to the Shangri La area. Smaller platforms such as the comedy or literary tents fill up very quickly, so when there is a big name star appearing, be sure to be there early to avoid disappointment. Unlike when watching a band, if you're not in the tent, you won't hear a thing.
Keep a look out for surprise impromptu sets taking place across the site. Latitude is known for its surprise guests and improvised gigs in the woods – a piano is strategically positioned for passers by to play, while at the intimate End of the Road festival in Dorset, impromptu acoustic sets take place in magical clearings in the forest, and at Green Man, in the Brecon Beacons, you can find theatrical shows taking place among the trees. But above all, rather than plotting a strict timetable, be flexible enough to give yourself the opportunity to stumble across bands that you might never have heard of. It's then that the festival experience really begins.

Michigan Goes Perfect in Opener against Iowa, MSU
Rowing Goes Perfect in Opener against Iowa, MSU
Rowing Highlights - OSU, MSU, IU
Michigan finished second to No. 4 Ohio State in five of the seven races in its only home event of the season.
The only head coach in the program's 20-year history, Mark Rothstein is responsible for the University of Michigan women's rowing team's ascent from over-achieving club squad to one of the nation's top-notch varsity rowing programs.
On and off the water, Rothstein creates a positive training environment that encourages the student-athletes to challenge themselves mentally and physically, to embrace a competitive spirit and to enjoy competing. An excellent teacher and technician, Rothstein is passionate about coaching.
"The athletes should learn more about themselves and others through their experiences as members of this team than in any other collegiate pursuit," Rothstein says. "If they don't, we haven't done our job."
Coaching Michigan women's rowing for 25 seasons -- five club and 20 varsity -- Rothstein has made the Wolverines one of the most respected programs in the country. He led the Wolverines to the inaugural Big Ten Conference championship in 2000 and has directed U-M to five of the 12 Big Ten team titles (2001, 2003, 2004, 2012) in all. The Wolverines were the Big Ten runners up in 2002, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2017. Michigan's first varsity eight captured first place at the Big Ten Championships in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007.
Michigan earned team bids to eight straight NCAA Championships from 1998 -- its second year as a varsity program -- through 2005. U-M posted top-five finishes from 1998-2001 and again in 2003 and 2004 and in 2012 and 2017. In 2001, Rothstein guided the squad to a second-place showing, thanks in part to a boat national title from the second varsity eight, and was recognized as the National Coach of the Year by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association. In 2003, the first varsity eight's second-place finish established a school record. Following a two-year hiatus, U-M's first varsity eight earned an at-large bid to the 2008 NCAA Championships. Michigan garnered four consecutive team bids to the NCAA Championships from 2009-12, capping that stretch with a 2V8 national title en route to a runner-up team finish in 2012. U-M's best team finish since that runner-up showing came in 2017, when the team placed third on the strength of all three boats in the Grand Final and a third-place finish from the 2V8 boat.
From 1998-2002 Rothstein led U-M to five consecutive Central Region championships. The Maize and Blue captured its sixth Central Region title in 2009. The accomplishments by Rothstein-led teams have not gone unnoticed. He shared the inaugural Big Ten Coach of the Year award and was the Central Region Coach of the Year in 2000. He repeated those accolades and added his aforementioned first National Coach of the Year award in 2001. Rothstein garnered his third Big Ten Coach of the Year award in 2004. He collected the Central Region Coach of the Year laurel in 2009 after Michigan finished first in the region.

Seven of Rothstein's former pupils have competed at the Olympic Games. with Sarah Trowbridge making her debut at the London Games in 2012. At the 2004 Games in Athens, Kate Johnson and Kate MacKenzie rowed for Team USA. Johnson earned a silver medal in the U.S. eight and MacKenzie rowed in the American pair. Four alumnae reached the 2008 Games in Beijing. Heather Mandoli (eight) and Janine Hanson (quad) pulled for Canada. Ellen Tomek (double) and Brett Sickler (alternate) were members of Team USA. Hanson (eight) earned a silver medal with Canada in 2012, while Trowbridge competed in the double sculls with Team USA.
Rothstein's experience does not end at the collegiate level. He traveled to San Diego to coach at the Pre-Elite Camp at the Arco Olympic Training Center following the 1999 season. The majority of his summer was spent in San Diego coaching with the National Team's head coach. Rothstein was selected to coach the Under-23 National Team coxless four at the Nations Cup in Hamburg, Germany. The boat finished third, less than seven seconds off the gold medal time. Additionally, he served as a guest coach for U.S. Under-19 squads in the summers of 2005 and 2006.
Rothstein was a competitive collegiate athlete. He played football at Central Michigan University. Rather than pursue a second year of CMU football, Rothstein transferred to Michigan and switched his athletic preference to rowing. He competed for the U-M men's crew team, then continued his rowing career with the US Rowing development program in Philadelphia, Pa. Rothstein coached the club team's novice women's crew until 1992, when he became head coach of the U-M women's club team. The club team's most successful season was 1994-95 when it won a gold medal at the Dad Vail Regatta and earned a spot in the English Henley Regatta. Rothstein joined the Michigan Athletic Department's coaching staff in August 1995 in preparation for the program's first varsity season in 1996-97.
An Ann Arbor native, Rothstein holds a bachelor of science degree in physics from Michigan. He earned academic honor roll citations and was inducted into Pi Sigma Pi, the physics honor society, as an undergraduate. He holds professional affiliations with the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association and United States Rowing Association.
Rothstein and his wife, Alisse Portnoy, were married in 2006 and reside in Ann Arbor. They have one daughter, Jessica.

I'm having an issue that is driving me nuts.. Motionbuilder 2012.. I'm hoping someone might have an answer or workaround.. or confirm whether it is a bug or not
I add custom expressions in character face and configure them based on the morphs of the character.. I use these with constraints to do things like automatic blinking, custom voice mapping, etc..
I get them all setup, everything works fine.. save the file.. exit the program or open a new file.. come back to the one that I just finished doing all this work on and..
the definitions of ALL the expressions are gone.. AAARRGGHH.. have to do it all over again. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help

Greetings from Alberta, Canada
I'm looking forward to learning more, getting inspired and breaking some ground in DIY. We just acquired our own little place in the country. Just a wee 850 sq feet little bites here and there. I'm a Mom of 2 and they're 2 and 1 so things take me a bit longer to get done. Well here's to getting started. Cheers!
Hello Kohzee! I am also new here in DIY. I hope we can exchange ideas and conversation about here in DIY. Nice to meet you and If you are looking for a cheap party store, you can always contact me anytime. Thanks. :)

15 result(s) displayed (421 - 435 of 2578):
|In front of a pitifully small crowd (8,612) the first-place Sixers put another team to sleep. The Pacers were without Danny Granger and George Hill, but they put up a much better fight than the first two teams to enter the WFC. Ultimately, their fate was the same, though a double-digit win for the home team. (game capsule)
|Before we enter the Sixers' back-to-back-to-back (should be fun!), here is a brief statistical interlude. In the NFL, organizations like footballoutsiders.com have revolutionized statistics by treating different game situations differently. For example, an 11-yard completion on 3rd-and-9 in the red zone with 2 minutes left in a one-score game is much more difficult (and valuable) than a 15-yard completion on 1st-and-20 in the 1st quarter. That has gotten me to thinking: what if we were to try that in the NBA? Not all points in an NBA game are equal. A basket when your team is down 2 with under a minute left is "worth" much more than a basket in garbage time. So to turn this idea into a workable system, we need to develop some weights based on game situations (the hard part) and then determine weighted statistics (it turns out that these follow naturally).
|Every stat will tell you the Sixers have been one of the best teams in the league to this point, if not the single best. They've been murdering teams, dominating with their defense and pummeling with their offense. Their detractors will ask, "Who have they played?" Well, tonight they have a chance to take down a playoff team from last season in the Pacers. A team that's 6-2 and sports some impressive defensive stats of their own.
|If this script was so enjoyable, it might become tiresome. The Sixers, again, built a meager lead through the first half, then absolutely ran another team out of the gym in the second half. Last night, the victim was the Toronto Raptors who were ready to jump on the bus and get out of Philly halfway through the third quarter. The final was 97-62 and if Collins hadn't called off the dogs early in the fourth, they might've won by 50. (game capsule)
|If the game is in question, Doug Collins trusts eight players on his roster. Spencer Hawes, Elton Brand, Andre Iguodala, Jodie Meeks, Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young. That's his group. Those are his guys, and he's going to win or lose with them on the floor. Whether relying so heavily on eight players is sustainable over the course of this abbreviated season remains to be seen, but for now, that's his plan and he's sticking to it. Let's see how he's mixed and matched those players so far.
Latest comment: from Air Jordan SaleI'll see you again soon with more vacation news and photographs. Have a great beginning of the week, friends! ...
|The Sixers let the Pistons hang with them through three quarters in their home opener last before taking off the kid gloves and blowing Detroit out of the water with a 32-point fourth quarter, en route to a 96-73 win. (game capsule)
|If you can manage to avoid distraction by the new mascot, the Broadway-inspired lighting, the Sixers of yore in attendance, the dollar dogs, the discounted tickets, the new national anthem singer and free rally towels, Adam Aron and Co. will have something else to wow you later tonight, an actual basketball game. Yes, the Sixers are finally home. (Tune in after the game for a special episode of SixersBeat)
Latest comment: from Dollar BillThanks. Was thinkin' Richard, Roy, George... everyone but Al of Salt Lake, a career 50% shooter & defender....
|The Sixers weathered a terrible first half, an up-and-down third quarter, then absolutely blew the Hornets' doors off in the fourth to pick up their third win of the season, 101-93 (game capsule). This game showed us a lot about this young team, how far they've come in the past 14 months, and what still needs to be done for them to take the next step.
|According to Marc Stein, the Sixers are on the verge of trading Marreese Speights in a three-team deal that would land Speights in Memphis, Xavier Henry in New Orleans and two future draft picks in Philadelphia.
|When the Hornets traded away Chris Paul, they seemed destined for a high lottery pick in this summer's draft. Then they went out and won their first two games, handily, over the Suns and the Celtics. Well, the fairy tell in New Orleans has come crashing down in their three games since. Three losses to bad teams and all seems to be according to plan once again.
Latest comment: from david watermanBelieve it nor not, some fish can actually breath oxygen at the water's surface. These fihs are known as anabantoids...
|This will be the last time until the All-Star break when there is more than one day between Sixer games, so here is something to think about until then. It's been interesting to observe the comments on the blog so far in this young season, because the Sixers have been led by stellar performances from two of their more unpopular players (Hawes and Lou) and their most polarizing player (Iguodala), while three of their more popular players (Jrue, Thad, Turner) have struggled at times. So we've seen, from opposite ends of the spectrum, both reluctant praise (e.g., for Hawes) and reluctant criticism (e.g., for Jrue). This got me to thinking about the nature of rooting for athletes and teams.

You can do a PT or DT but still watch your timing. Everyone's hair reacts differently to the ColorFix and you can't judge the porosity afterward. My cousin recently used CF to remove another brand of color, then re-colored with this other brand (she wants a lighter color so can't use the RC) and her hair did grab the color on the length quickly. We're actually going to use the CF again but just lifting a little with the shampoo method.
You may actually find that you do no have to recolor the length after the CF if you happen to lift to your desired color.
But if you do, I would do a strand test and keep your timing to 5-10 MAX.
Good luck! LMK how it comes out.
And be sure to just do the roots in the future so it doesn't get dark again. Only refresh the ends/length when it really looks faded, if it does.

A lot has been written and said the past few days about how poorly BYU quarterback Taysom Hill played in the rivalry game, a 20-13 loss to Utah. Hill completed 18 of 48 passes for a career-high 260 yards and no touchdowns. He did throw one interception, but that was a desperation heave on 4th-and-13 when Utah defensive back Michael Walker really should have just knocked the ball down for better field position.
The Cougars' offensive struggles were the focus of my follow from Saturday's game, published Monday.
Some folks are already calling for a change, and want to see what Ammon Olsen can do. I think that would be a huge mistake; Robert Anae's offense, heavily favoring the zone read, is designed to take advantage of Hill's running ability, and the threat of Hill's running ability.<

There is an attractive new member of the engine lineup for the TT family the 2.0 TFSI with 155 kW (211 hp). The four-cylinder engine, in which the Audi valvelift system varies the lift of the exhaust valve, delivers 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) of torque to the crankshaft. Paired with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive, its engine accelerates the TT Coupé from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 6.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 245 km/h (152.24 mph). The two-liter consumes only 6.6 liters of fuel per 100 km (35.64 US mpg) in the EU cycle and emits 154 grams of CO2/km (247.84 g/mile). This represents an improvement of 1.1 liters per 100 km, or 14 percent, over the previous model engine.

On her birthday, December 29th, Shizuka Arakawa(at the age of 32), the ladies' figure skating gold medalist in Torino Olympics, submitted a notification of marriage with an ordinary man with whom she has been dating for some time.

"I'm very happy to stand in the new starting line of my life," she seemed very pleased. Reportedly Arakawa kissed a surgeon on the street in March. "I'm old enough to do such sort of things,""The happiest time in one's life is during honeymoon. When? Hope it's coming soon," she talked about her hope for marriage in an event in May. She carried out her words in the end of this year.

Coffee Lovers, Rejoice! 6 Biggest Benefits of Your Caffeine Addiction
Vita Coco CafePromoted
Vita Coco Café is a premium latte, crafted with a blend of all natural ingredients, that provides natural energy for anyone in need of a sustainable buzz (with less the sugar & more caffeine than the leading bottled latte & energy drinks!)
There's nothing wrong with loving your morning joe. The widely-held belief for a long time was that drinking too much coffee could be bad for you.
Surprise: Coffee won't sprout a third arm out of the blue or cause you to gain 300 pounds every time you fall victim to another tantalizingly delicious cup.
Thank heavens for research because scientists have proven in recent years just how healthy having a cup (or two or three) really is for your health.
You'll be a better colleague, a better friend and a healthier version of yourself just by starting your day with a piping hot pick-me-up.
And if you're really in the mood to up the ante on your health, try Vita Coco's tempting Vita Coco Café. It's a latte blended with coconut water.
1. You'll live longer.
The question has been tossed back and forth for years: Does coffee add years to your life or will it strip a few away? Seems like the problem that's been plaguing coffee drinkers for years finally has an answer, and it's one we'll all love (especially when it's time for that 4 o'clock fix!).
Harvard School of Public Health nutritional expert Dr. Rob van Dam found that caffeine addicts may live longer than those who go without. He and a team of researchers studied 130,000 coffee drinkers over the course of 24 years and found the "side effects" were really nothing to be worried about.
In fact, indulging in a non-flavored cup of your favorite roast might even put you on the right track toward longevity.
2. Java junkies are better athletes.
Feeling a little too old to pick up a new sport? Turns out that java could spur the extra jolt you need to get going – and stay going. Coffee, apparently, increases the number of fatty acids in your bloodstream that makes it easy for your muscles to absorb and burn those fats as fuel.
The more fatty acids it's able to burn, the fewer carbohydrates it eats up, which means you'll feel energized from tip-off to overtime.
3. Weight loss just got a whole lot easier.
Most of us think of coffee as the refreshing savior that helps us get through the morning (and afternoon), but coffee is more than just the liquid we poor lovingly into our cups. Extract from green coffee beans (coffee beans that haven't yet been roasted) was found to be a significant aid in weight loss for adults.
The study, performed by the Psychology Department at the University of Scranton, followed 16 overweight adults for 22-weeks and found that those given green coffee extract had undergone "significant weight loss." Researchers even noted that 37.5 percent of the adults moved from "pre-obesity" weights to a normal weight.
4. Coffee could keep your mental – and physical – health intact.
The American Chemical Society found that coffee drinkers limit their risk of Type-2 Diabetes, while a similar study published in the Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry found that people who drink four or more cups of joe a day reduce their chances of Type-2 Diabetes by more than fifty percent.
Another study performed by Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School that followed women and over a 20-year period found that women who drink more than three cups of coffee a day are way less likely to develop skin cancer when compared to female non-coffee drinkers.
And if those effects weren't enough to woo you, researchers from the University of Eastern Finland School of Medicine found that people who drank three to five cups of coffee each day had a 65 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's and dementia later on in life.
5. Your morning – and afternoon – fix pretty much makes you smarter.
Turn toward that morning cup with a little more enthusiasm! Turns out that the morning energy boost you get from your local barista isn't just helping you get to work on time – it's helping unlock your smarts, too.
Scientists from the Medical University in Innsbruck, Austria, found that guys who drink that morning cup of joe performed much better on short-term memory tests than guys who skip the morning java.
Time magazine reporter Michael Lemonick, who was quoted in the report and is an avid coffee-drinker himself said, "It allows you to use what brain power you have in a much more efficient and focused way."
Pretty sure your employer will love that.
6. Coffee drinkers are just naturally happier.
You probably don't need a slew of research to tell you what you already know: The bliss that slides in as soon as you take your first whiff of the miracle that is coffee is what true happiness is all about, right? Right.
But in case you needed to stick a fact behind it, we've got that too. Coffee is just booming with antioxidants that make you feel good and the National Institute of Health even noted that big-time drinkers (who consumed four or more cups a day) were 10 percent less likely to suffer from depression.

May 25, 2010
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - University of Tennessee outfielder Chris Fritts has been named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon during the live "Batting Practice Show" on SECSports.com at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala.
A first year Volunteer from Houston, Texas, Fritts saw action in 46 games, drawing starts in 26 contests, including nine in left field and 17 in right. He hit at a .270 clip with four doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs for the year.
Fritts came on strong at the end of the season, hitting .400 over his final 15 games, going 12-for-30 and scoring nine runs. During that stretch, he was able to raise his batting average 56 points from .214 to his final mark of .270, hit one home run and stole his only base of the season.
A 5-8 outfielder, Fritts wasted little time making his mark on the Tennessee program, earning a spot on SportsCenter's "Top 10 Plays of the Day" with a remarkable catch in the seventh inning of UT's game against then-No. 10 Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore., on Sunday, Feb. 28. With the Vols trailing 1-0, Fritts made a diving catch on the warning track in left field of OSU's Goss Stadium, completed a somersault, jumped to his feet and fired the ball back into the infield to double up the runner at first.
Fritts' award marks the sixth straight season that Tennessee has had at least one player on the SEC All-Freshman Team. The Vol trio of James Adkins, J.P. Arencibia and Julio Borbon started the trend in 2005, with Tony Delmonico continuing it the following season. Yan Gomes and Jeff Lockwood both earned the honors in 2007 and Kentrail Davis and P.J. Polk followed suit in 2008. Current sophomore Zach Osborne made it five consecutive seasons last year.

Early Labor Day morning, 18 firefighters from the West Marshall and Benton fire departments worked to put out a fire at the home of Rick and Wanda Gamble on Phelps Road in Marshall County, right outside of Benton.
Despite firefighters' efforts, the Gambles lost their home and all of their belongings to the fire, save for the clothes they were wearing Monday morning, a laptop and handful of photos. The Gambles are now turning to the community for help.
According to Benton Fire Chief Harry Green, the Gambles were sitting outside Monday morning when they heard something fall inside the house. When they went in to check on things, smoke came flooding out. The Gambles were able to save their three dogs and a few photographs, but not much else. As of Monday evening, Green said the cause of the fire was still unknown and is under investigation.
Executive director of Lakeland Red Cross Darlene Lynn said her group will do what it can to help the Gambles with food, clothing and connecting them with partner agencies to help rebuild their lives. The couple is currently staying with family, she said, but is in dire need of essentials including clothing, food and any other household items.
In particular, women's clothing (shirt size XXL, pant size 18/20, shoe size 9) and men's clothing (shirt size XXL, pant size 38/40 and 34" in length, shoe size 12) would be greatly appreciated by the family.
Community members can donate items to the Gamble family at 1003 Elm St. in Benton.

Certain factors can speed up bone loss or decrease bone growth. For example, a lack of activity makes bones lose their strength. Exercise plays a big part in maintaining bone mass, no matter what your age. The amount and type of activity you do also play a part in keeping your bones strong. Weight-bearing and resistance exercises, such as walking, aerobic dancing, and bicycling, are just a few of the activities that are good for your bones.
Resistance exercises, such as weight training, help maintain bones by strengthening the muscles around them. Swimming is also a good choice.
Check with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program.
Stop any exercise that causes pain.

I'm not bashing the Allison, but it really does bother me that because it has the Allison name on it people think it is some amazing transmission. As far as I'm concerned none of the automatics behind any of the diesels out there are bullet-proof or particularly stout. If you want to talk about a stout transmission check out ATS or Suncoast. From the factory the Ford TorqShift has the highest ratings with regard to the power input it can withstand.


text: by Cory Jensen Dec 10, 2010 Comments (4) AIChE Topics: Events & Conferences Students Young Professionals Share This Post: If you watch football in the United States, you probably expect to see a pigskin flying through the air or hear crowds shout out chants like "Go, Big Red!" or "Who'dat beat them Saints?!" In Salt Late City, the Young Professional Advisory Board (YPAB) did something different. While staying in the Marriott downtown, we couldn't help but notice during breakfast that FC Dallas football players populated the buffet line. Please understand that when I say football, I mean what the world knows as football (i.e., soccer), not American football. We approached the team and suggested they should comp tickets for the MLS playoff game that was to be played in Salt Lake City that weekend. Sure enough, a team representative (Barry Gorman) agreed, and the YPAB promoted a contest to make the event successful. YPAB decided to pose a quiz during the opening ceremony of the student conference. The quiz consisted of two questions: 1) Name a founding member of AIChE (and the year) and 2) what Colorado Rapids player that was traded to Houston last year, did Cory Jensen train with during his time with the Colorado State University Men's Club Soccer team? My phone was electric with text responses during the next four hours as responses were submitted. FC Dallas put up 5 tickets for the winners and members of YPAB to attend the game, including: Ian (Michigan State), Monica & Mike (Penn State), alongside of the YPAB vice-chair Dr. Robin Ng (Ohio State) and myself (Colorado School of Mines). (L to R: Cory, Monica, Mike, Ian, Robin) The atmosphere in the stadium was amazing. Streamers continually streaked the field and smoke bombs were set off, causing the game to be periodically delayed. Vuvuzelas were relatively sparse but a "rambling wreck" of what I would term as a trash can orchestra infused the crowd with a sense of play on the world stage. The game was fast and furious with Salt Lake City attacking often since they were behind in the aggregate at start of this, the second game. The students that we accompanied to the game said they didn't expect to have such an opportunity and had a great time! I was glad that we were able to mix it up, and my thanks goes to FC Dallas! When was the last time you attended a soccer game? Log in to post comments Comments Robert S (not verified) Dec 11, 2010 Chicago is a great place to watch football of all kinds - even the round-ball type. Not only is there one of the most exciting stadiums in the league (Section 8 is always full of music and charging the crowd with energy) but you also get to watch best team in the league play -The Chicago Fire! Cory (not verified) Dec 11, 2010 I think the Rapids would argue with you about being the best team, especially this year. Cheers! ehorahan (not verified) Dec 13, 2010 Where's the DC United love?

Had that happen to me on my previous car, took it to the dealer and couldn't tell me what it was but did suggest to clean the ICV. I instructed them to reflash the DME and they argued that it won't do any good.
Problem was corrected after the reflash.
Here's the thing, prior to that happening, my FSR went out and the blower kept going even after turning the ignition off. So I had to disconnect the battery every time I leave the car. In the process of doing so, the DME got messed up.
If you did anything electrical on your car, that could be it, if not then use the search feature and check the various answers and fixes, as some had the same problem but different remedies.

Waldorf Early Childhood Center
About Our Early Childhood Programs
Located at 2010 Peniston Street in the uptown Milan neighborhood, the programs of the Waldorf School of New Orleans' Early Childhood Center are each designed to nurture a child's imagination, curiosity, and enthusiasm for the world.
2010 Peniston St. New Orleans, LA 70115
Phone: 504-345-2366
Activity and free play develop social skills, confidence and creativity. Circle time and stories feed the imagination, build vocabulary, and support the development of cognition and language. Children learn much at this age through observation and imitation, allowing our Waldorf trained teachers and their talented assistants to serve as role models in the development of respect, patience, responsibility, and empathy.
Here children also learn to celebrate the cycles of life, such as the changing of seasons, through festivals and the daily observation of nature.
Class Offerings
Parental Involvement
Parents and teachers working together provide the child with the best possible support. To facilitate this cooperative relationship, we encourage parents to attend regularly scheduled class meetings, parent-teacher conferences, parent education workshops, and to participate in community events. Each of these is an opportunity to learn more about Waldorf Education and how the curriculum embraces the developmental phases of childhood.

another factually challenged iFanboy !!
cant sell as well as Apple's iOS? what fantasy land do you live in because everybody knows that Samsung sells more phones than Apple., 65% more according to some sources. and everybody knows that Android's WORLD WIDE MARKET SHARE is 52% while iOS is a paltry 15% EVEN IN THE US, Samsung's market share is more than twice that of Apple according to comScore 9.2011
I wouldn't say it sucks because it doesn't. It does what it does well and Android does what it does well. they both have strengths and weaknesses.
Id rather say that iOS & Android are like the Camaro & the Mustang either iOS being either car.
Haha, I think this ad is great. Very funny.@eZStar, is a prime example of the typical hardcore Apple users. It's seen as a religion for many, and any insult to Apple is an insult to their beliefs. Take it easy mate, it's just a commercial. It's like SJ was the lord and savour of tech, and his return to apple in the 90s was his second coming.
I'll bet my dollar to your dime, eZStaR is a recent convert to the whole apple fad. you can tell it from his style. he just sounds fresh and excited about the apple universe, rather than seasoned and experienced, with the solid grounding in reality that comes with it.
If Samsung, HTC, Motorola & many others only made 3 phones, there would be no way they would sell as many
Apple's "Hi! I'm Apple. Hi! I'm PC" ads, everything in the ads attack PCs.
You just proved how ****ty Apple already am few years back.
I guess I can't blame you, that ad probably touched a nerve... Did you wait in line for the 4S and consider it to be an event?

I'm an Apple fan and I enjoyed the commercial. It was funny and clever. Not sure what percentage of the time this "insult you into buying our product" advertising model works, but it was cleverly executed.
"Boy look at that grammar"
This is an independent clause. You do not put a comma after it; use a period instead. Also, add a comma after the word, "boy."
"you're definitely a Crapple fanboy all the way"
This is also an independent clause. Start a new sentence.
Your statement should have looked like this:
Boy, look at that grammar. You're definitely a Crapple fanboy all the way.
kinda funny but wont impact the number of iPhones that Apple will sell in the least but nice try Samsung
I remember (in the states) when people here said Android would be nothing if/when Verizon got the iPhone. Hmmm... it was a never crushed. Sprint also had a ton of Android devices. As far as I know, still going strong. Why on earth do people look for reasons to make Apple the underdog when they are clearly not? Apple makes business decisions, Samsung makes business decisions, and their successes and failures have a lot to do with these business decisions.
Hang on a second "Siri, what phone do you think is the best?"
all very true about fragmentation. it's the price that must be paid in order to maintain the leading edge. if you try to preserve legacy compatibility, it will crush you. just ask microsoft, when it comes to OS'es. when it comes to OS'es, apple has no problem starting with a clean sheet of paper, where your old software, that you paid good money for, will no longer work. if you are a recent fanboi, like 90% of apple users today, you might not have experienced this... yet. as to HTC, and their locked bootloader? that was a bad move on their part. totally counter to the anodroid/linux/open source concept... and they realize it. they publically announced last summer that they would no longer sell phones with locked bootloaders. this is good news for the nerds.... my HTC phone update got abandoned and the phone had a bootloader that made it impossible to root, consider how many different android phones samsung and other companies make compared to Apple producing only three phones. of course android will have a bigger market share, but the fragmentation that is causes for a lot users isn't acceptable (the amount of apps I downloaded from the market that didn't run on my hardware/software drove me into getting an iPhone)
Apple mocks it's competitor in Ads: Marketing GeniusApple gets mock in competitors Ads: BLASPHEMY!!!They're funny ads, some people need to chill out and stop taking things so seriously. Some of you take jabs at Apple so personally.
If someone in Belgium buys an iPhone its in most cases just so they can say "look at me with my expensive phone". It's not used because you can check your email on the go and other work related things but just a symbol of status.
I think the ad is funny because I don't see why you would want to wait for hour in a line for a phone...
But don't think I hate Apple or something, i got 3 iPod's and I must say you can't find a better music player but the price is a little high. also when my screen broke i had to pay 170 to replace it but it's still cheaper than buying a new one (279 )

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello and thank you for your question.
Such numbness as you are describing is called neuropathy and is quite rare. It needs to be evaluated by either your GP or, even better, by a neurologist as soon as possible.
You will need a set of blood work to rule out multiple different conditions such as Vitamin deficiencies, electrolyte abnormalities, thyroid problem, syphilis, auto-immune conditions, and diabetes. You might need to have a test done to check your nerves (this test is called EMG) to see what kind of neuropathy you are having.
Your symptoms are not due to MS. Transverse myelitis is a very rare condition and is most likely not the cause of your symptoms, however, it does need to be ruled out.
So because your symptoms can be caused by a variety of different medical conditions, it is very important that you seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you can, I would suggest going to see a neurologist, however, if you need a referral to a neurologist, please see your GP.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please feel free to follow-up with any other questions you might have.

Gainesville's Annual Ghost Town
Published March 9th, 2011
Loading Video...
If you look around a part of North Central Florida, it looks like a ghost town and it isn't because of power outages. The sidewalks along university avenue are empty and the signs posted in stores said it all we're closed.
They're closed at least until college students return.
To see why some shops decide to close their doors and why others don't, watch the video on the right side of this page.

Project Untamed: 1969 CJ6 build
OK, guess I'll start a thread for my new build. I have nothing done yet, this is just a starting point.
I had been building a Willys CJ3b, but we made some changes to the family planning, and decided we wanted something that could fit a family of 4. Due to the suspension design on the Willys, a back seat was not possible (rear axle back 16").
So, we wanted something with room for 4 people plus gear. First, it needed to be an open top Jeep. A Wrangler *could* have worked, and I have a very nice condition TJ thats already lifted/modified.....but they are a bit cramped with 4 people, tools, and gear for a day in the woods. And wranglers are boring/everywhere. I didn't want to cut/stretch something because I wanted to have a good fiting soft top. So looked at CJ6s and CJ8s. CJ8s cost a mint, and I'd probably want to bob it, which then gets into soft top issues, and more work. So decided to find a CJ6. A fun road trip out to Chicago to visit Cooter netted this beauty, a 1969 CJ6, called 'Untamed'. It was a mud racer from way-back-when. Pretty much only going to use the body, and not even all of that.
I will be using a 72+ front clip on it, which lengthens the front 3" to fit the V8 in there. This will end up with an overall length of 152" (not including any spare tire out back) and a wheelbase of 104", which is the factory wheelbase for the 72-75 6's...
There is 10" more interior length compared to a CJ7/YJ/TJ. But overall, its only about 6" longer than a TJ.

Plans are as follows:
New frame from 2 x 3 x 0.120 steel.
5.3 Vortec L33 motor
700R4 transmission
Dana 300 T-case (current plan is to flip it)
HP Dana 44 - 5.13 gears & aussie locker
Ford 9" - 5.13 gears and mini spool, disc brakes
36x12.5-15 Super Swamper SXs
3 link front, 4 link rear 2 x 14 SAW air shocks
Warn M8274 winch

Covered in mud...
For the frame, I'm cutting up and lengthening the frame from the willys, which is 2 x 3 x 0.120 A500b box tube. Now, if this was a basic/traditional leaf sprung Jeep with only a basic interior cage, I would have gone bigger with the tube.
The stock frame varies from 2x3 to 2x4 C-channel but its the main structural member, nothing else holds the Jeep straight. In my case, the frame rails are the lower piece of the complete structure. There will a 6 point interior cage with A, B, C pillars going to the frame. There will be shock hoops at the front of the frame, which then tie back into through the firewall to the dash bar. The interior framing for the seats will aos tie back into the frame. And there will rock rails which also tie in. So more like a buggy structure. Should be fine.
Haha, plus, its what I have, and don't feel like going and buying another 40 ft of tube...
As it sits, I removed the bulk of the frame brackets off it, but the control arm brackets will be left on, as I'll re-use the mount locations I had figured out before. The old frame was straight rails, 29.25" on center to work with toyota leaf spring axles. Not I'll change it up a bit. I think I'll go with 32" wide outside for the front, and 40" wide for the rear. This will allow me to squeeze in a TJ fuel tank between the rails.
Reusing the links from the last build as well. They are all 28" long, long enough what I'll do, and I have the geometry worked out.

Motor wise, I've got an 5.3 vortec from a 2007 Silverado. Mine is an L33 motor, which is the high-output model (although 2008 Gen IV motors now match its output). It is factory rated at 310 hp / 335 ft-lbs.
The key differences between this and the much more common LM7 iron block motors are: LS6 cylinder heads (mine are the 243 castings), higher compression (about 10:1, using flat top 4.8 pistons), and slightly more lift on the cam. And its an aluminum block, so fully dressed, its under 450 lbs. 100+ lbs lighter than an iron block 350. I plan to leave it stock, although I probably need headers or different manifolds to clear the frame rails, and do something different with the intake. With a reflash, I wouldn't be suprised if it was pushing around 325+ horsepower.
Anyway, I'm lazy, so TNScrambler on pirate was nice enough to ship me this one cheaper thna any L33s I could find around here. Complete, with all the accessories, the drive by wire pedal & tac module, wiring, ecu, even the fuel pump module from the tank. And its just shows up on a pallet, instead of junkyard picking. I paid about $400-$500 premium for the lower miles/aluminum block/higher output, but weight is very important on this build, I'm trying to keep things down as low as possible...

Sweet, I will be watching closely. Your kid looks pretty happy about the build also. That is one of my biggest reasons for loving this hobby, kids enjoy it alot also. I can't wait to show my son how to fabricate and wrench etc....
Hay, look at me... I have a signature.....

And thats exactly what this is for, a family Jeep. I've found that when you are really building from scratch, its too easy to go crazy, think you need everything perfect, everything the best possible, etc. Well, I've driven several short arm TJs and XJs, they were fun. I've driven lots of leaf sprung trucks, they were fun. They all worked well, not perfect, but good. So this will be better than those, and therefore, should work well, too. Its not a comp vehicle, not a buggy, not a bling high dollar piece.
So, its not going to have too big of tires, 36s which I've wheeled canada, tellico, harlan, etc on these tires. It'll be a dana 44 up front. My club is mostly 33-36s right now, and dnaa 30 and 44 fronts, so I'll be matched to who I'm wheeling with...
So, should be a fun build. I expect I will be working all winter and hopefully have it driving in late spring. I've be using my TJ between now and then for wheeling, and then have this ready for Silver lake next summer...

not absolutely sure, but I may be able to come up with some "gear" to tune that motor then reflash your ECU when you get it together.

for the record, I didn't sell much from the CJ3b, I still have it, its in my barn.
I would have built it, as I said, if not for change in planned family size. But we've been doing a lot more family wheeling this year, and the CJ3b wasn't going to cut it. I would rather have 1 good all around wheeler than maintai a 2 seater and a 4 seater for family use.

If you're going to bastardize the body anyway (long-noise clip on an early CJ...sacrilege....sheesh) why don't you do your backside a favor and chop out the door openings to fit CJ-7/YJ/TJ soft doors?
(43) Jeeps and counting....a couple of them run, kinda.

The 1969 tub is the same as the 72-75 intermediate tubs, as is the windshield.
The 1972-75 intermediates had the long front clip. The grill on it already is an intermediate.
So it'll look like a correct intermediate 72-75 model.
Now, if I was to put CJ7 door opening on it, it'd look wierd, because it'd be a bastardized look. But, more importantly, the doors and soft top would have to be custom, or I'd need major tub surgery.
First, obviously, you'd have to cut door frames out of something else, and weld them into this. But, the big issue is the windshield. The CJ7s have a 76+ style windshield that have a 55" width, more rake, different hinges, even the tub top is different where/how the hinges bolt on. The 69 windshield is the same as the 72-75 windshield, 59" wide, more vertical, different hinges, etc.
So CJ7 doors won't fit the CJ6 windshield and a CJ6 tub won't easily take a CJ7 windshield.
If you successfully grafted both the doors and the windshield, then you'd have to find a 76+ soft top, which isn't available anymore from what Iv'e seen since 75 was the last year for domestic CJ6s.
