Re: Life: Connected
THIS derby was crazy hard, but very satisfying.
Life is connescted from us to the birds, fish, bugs, reptiles, and trees. I bring my version of the Tree of Life with this derby, what better way to show the connection than by using just one line on brown.
Point of note: including human there are 42 (the meaning of life, the universe, and everything) animals depicted.... or at leat I think there are.

98 STS Air Conditioning
I have a 98 STS and the clutch seal went out on the AC pump. It turns out its a Mitsubishi pump, and haven't been able to find a reasonably price replacement pump. Can I retro fit a Delco pump on my car?
The car was originally equipped with a "Delco" compressor. As with most parts, it could have been made by one of many manufacturers, in one of several countries. The manufacturer is irrelevant, you can use any compressor designed to work with your car.

Experimenting With Film & Developing Your Acting Skills [PechaKucha]
In today's stroll through the PechaKucha archives we uncovered a presentation on how to turn yourself into a theatre star.
Lulu De Panbehchi believes that what is good for her is also good for film. As we discover in this presentation (from PKN Williamsburg Vol. 2), she experiments with different substances' effects in developing her photographs.
Torben Jørgensen is an autodidactic actor struggling to apply skills, to make and be part of theatre projects. Listen (in Danish, from PKN Aalborg Vol. 9) to his amazing — and courageous — story.
There are two additions to the Tumblr blog today, starting with the poster pictured above, for next month's PKN Usti nad Labem Vol. 4. We've also included the poster for the upcoming PKN Vladimir Vol. 9.
We finally get to share our photo gallery [Flickr] — and on Facebook too — of last month's PKN Tokyo Vol. 95, with photos taken as always by Michael Holmes. Above from top, our traditional audience group shot, Nooka's Matthew Waldman presenting, and an attendee enjoying her drink.
Here's what to expect tonight (October 16): PKN Hong Kong Vol. 12, PKN Poitiers Vol. 3, PKN Hjorring Vol. 2, PKN Sacramento Vol. 19, and PKN Helsingborg Vol. 10. Tomorrow you'll find the following five events: PKN Istanbul Vol. 15, PKN Ornskoldsvik Vol. 2, PKN Dallas Vol. 11, PKN Stockholm Vol. 36, and PKN Miami Vol. 19.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/3/2014 (1194 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Preliminary interviews for Brandon University's top job could begin in May.
Deborah Poff, president and vice-chancellor of the university is slated to step down from her post at the end of July after she stated she wouldn't seek a second mandate last year.
"We're in the process right now of developing our long list of candidates," said Laura McDougald-Williams, chair of the presidential search committee.
The 19-member committee — made up of various faculty, community members, the students' union and labour union reps — is bound by a signed confidentiality agreement since it claims recruitments of this calibre are highly sensitive.
According to McDougald-Williams, B.C.-based Harry Parslow of the search firm Caldwell Partners International was recruited in the fall and has been in "extensive" discussions with the area's various organizations, including the school's faculty and students, Assiniboine Community College and Prairie Mountain Health.
McDougald-Williams said she hasn't been aware of any suggestions or correspondents from the provincial government in the process.
During a consultation meeting with students in January, only eight attended, according to an article in
BU's student newspaper, The Quill.
While at the helm, Poff weathered a 45-day faculty strike between October and November 2011 and implemented the "Build 2010" plan, which included adding masters in psychiatric nursing and masters of environmental and life sciences to the school's offerings.
"Dr. Poff put us in a good direction with the 'Build 2010' strategic plan, so I think the hope of the committee is that our new president will build relationships with the university campus and get to know the community," McDougald-Williams said.
BU's Healthy Living Centre was completed and the university has forged ahead to build more student housing under Poff's direction.
McDougald-Williams said a new strategic plan will likely be drawn up in the first months of the new president's term.
McDougald-Williams couldn't say how many applications have been received or how long the hiring process will take.
Through a series of meetings since the fall, the committee drew up a "profile" of the ideal candidate to take over as the head of the city's university.
"We want someone that is a strong visionary leader, but someone — personality-wise — who can be approachable ... someone that is going to work hard for Brandon University's best interest and build united vision of where the university is going to go," McDougald-Williams said.
Once her five-year term is complete, Poff will get a one-year administrative leave. As a professor of philosophy, Poff said earlier this year she has plans to do research for a book that she has been working on for a number of years. She said the book, entitled "A World of Good," is a philosophical treatise on goodness researched through interviews with people who have spent their lives in public service.

Product 128/318
Generally, we think that toxin is external pathogenic factors which is harmful to body, in fact, the small amount of substances enter body and act on tissues and organs, destroy normal physical functions and cause abnormal condition temporally or lastingly, these substances are toxins. Toxins can be classified into the external and the internal. The external toxins include wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness in TCM, atmospheric pollution, farm chemical and fertilizer pollution are all external toxins; internal toxins originate from the interior of body, such as stool, sputum, uremic, and so on.1. Toxic foodTea stain: it contains various poisonous metals, such as cadmium, lead (pb), mercury and arsenic (As), etc. and some carcinogen, such as nitrite, etc. which can lead to kidney, liver, and stomach diseases. Moldy rice, peanut and corn: they contain flavacol which is the proverbial carcinogen, and lead to liver cancer and esophagus cancer. Even high-temperature sterilization can not remove them from body thoroughly. Slightly cooked hyacinth bean: it contains two kinds of toxins, hemagglutinin and saponine which lead to vomiting and diarrhoea, even hemolysis. So hyacinth bean should be cooked thoroughly; the tender hyacinth beans are better; both ends of hyacinth bean and silk should be removed because they contain more toxins. Soaking 15 min before cooking is better.Rotten fruits contain harmful substances, especially epiphyte hascarcinogenic action, so even the rotten parts are removed, the remaining should not be eaten. 2. Internal toxinsStool: constipation will lead to amounts of toxins' accumulation which is absorbed by body, and induce stomach intestinal discomforts, halitosis, as well as skin pigmentation, etc.Pigmentation and chloasma: endocrine dyscrasia, long-term intake of oral contraceptive medication, liver diseases, tumors, alcoholism, and solar radiation.Acne: toxic substances are harmful to whole body with blood circulation, excreting obstruction leads to rough skin and acne. In addition, lack of trace element, mental stress, high fat and Hi CHO diet is the inducements of acne. Halitosis, skin itching: skin is an expulsion of toxin organ, toxins can be removed by sweat gland and sebaceous gland. The outside stimulation, irregular living, mental stress, as well as dysendocrisiasis weaken skin function and lead to skin itching. Abdominal discomforts or abdominal pain, distention, diarrhea, or constipation.Many people think that removing toxin is defecation, it is wrong. Defecation can only remove toxins in digestive tract, so it is one of the removing toxin ways. Removing toxin is not tonification. TCM considers that resolving and tonification should be balance. The toxin accumulation must consume healthy qi, Removing toxin and detoxifcation must consume body energy, if only removing toxin, the functions of zang-fu organs can not recover and toxins will retain again very soon, which leads to a vicious circle. So proper tonification is good to remove toxin. Removing taxins can be summarized into three categories, 1. liver is a detoxifcation organ, we should select carrot, garlic, grape, fig, and litchi; 2. kidney detoxifcation, cucumber and cherry are helpful to kidney detoxifcation; 3. moistening intestines to remove toxins, konjac, Jew's-ear, kelp, spinach, apple, strawberry, and pig blood, etc. are helpful, but fibered food can remove internal nutriments when removing toxins, so the children at growth stage or patients who are just recovering from a dangerous illness should not take more fibered food.Detoxifcation food: mung beanMung bean is an herb usually used for detoxifcation. It has good preventive function for various food poison, such as heavy metal and pesticide poisoning, and speeds toxic substances metabolic transformation and excretion. Sweet mung bean soup cooked at home can not be used for severe toxicosis, because mung bean dosage should be 250g at least, not destroying bean-coat.

Found this snooping around today. Weird looking thing, and I guess they arent havent much luck with it either.
http://rofasix.blogspot.com Article about half way down the blog.
To me, it looked like a AirWrench... I just sent it, as thought others might wanna see. Strange stuff, the Govt is touting, it seems.
i agree its weird but still dont see a ture purpose for it as a subgun doesnt look like it would be very good
Modelled on a nail gun LOL! Could be.
It sure is wierd and also interesting - tried to snag the vid bit no luck.The Armed Forces Journal summarized the Kriss this way:
This certainly wins the ?gee whiz? category for a full-auto weapon, particularly a .45 cal. The big win is in the lack of recoil. ?the pragmatic question is: ?What will it be used for?? With its small magazine size, this is a weapon in need of a very innovative magazine solution. ? It shows promise, but creates the interesting situation where the innovation can?t stop at the receiver, but must go to the whole weapon ? from ammo to sights."

Here's the permalink to save a bunch of scrolling.
I guess the idea is that by putting the barrel low and having the grip like that is that it should eliminate muzzle flip, thus allowing more effective full auto fire. I'm pretty sure that's just a concept prototype, but it would be interesting to see if the concept ends up in some production guns.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
For the low, low price of $3.59, they serve up the po' boy to end all po' boys. Just ask for the "red wrap" and they'll know what you're talking about: double ham, double German salami, double provolone cheese, mayo, chowchow and pickles on fresh hoagie bread. On the Dallas scene for almost four decades, Antoine's serves up color-coded slices of heaven. The "green wrap" is Antoine's original and most popular. It's the "red wrap" without double helpings of all the goodies. Then, there's the "brown wrap" (turkey), the "purple wrap" (roast beef), the "orange wrap" (pastrami) and the "blue wrap" (tuna).
A trip to the ballpark is not complete without the food: peanuts, hot dogs, pretzels, Philly cheese steaks. Yo? Philly cheese steaks? One of the best, most improbable features of the charming Dr Pepper/7UP Ballpark in Frisco is the fact that they serve the best cheese steak in this time zone--from a cart way down the left field line. A little investigation revealed that the cart at the ballpark is actually an outpost of Philly Connection, a chain of restaurants based, of all places, in Atlanta. With 12 area stores, mostly in the Northern suburbs, Philly Connection has ambitions for our market that approach Starbucks proportions. They expect to have 50 locations all across Dallas-Fort Worth within a year and double that number in five years. The reason you can expect consistently satisfying sandwiches as they grow has to do with the passion of company founder John Pollack. "I grew up in Philly," says Pollack, "and like most Philadelphians, I consider myself a connoisseur of the cheese steak. My two favorite places to get them are pretty famous: Gitanos and Big John's in Cherry Hill." Moving to Atlanta in the early '80s left Pollack with an inner need as well as a perceived opportunity, and Philly Connection was born in 1984. "Our goals have always been consistency and authenticity," he says. "Even though Southerners had no basis of comparison at the time, I did because I'd learned from the best." To ensure meeting those goals, Philly Connection has bought its meat from the same Philadelphia supplier since 1984, a 92 percent lean cut that provides the optimum balance of taste and texture. And the way the meat and grilled onions and peppers nestle into the steamy, soft, authentic roll just feels and smells right.
There are gyro sandwiches, and then there are gyro sandwiches. First, there's the thinly sliced mystery meat piled into a cold piece of flat bread and topped with a tomato and a little bland white sauce. That's not the gyro sandwich we're talking about. Z Café owner Nicholas Zotos sells gyro sandwiches that are consistently far above average. The bread is oven fresh, and the plentiful meat (not a composite) is tender and tasty. The sauce is tangy and complemented by fresh onions. Zotos knows gyros.
This inconspicuous little shop on Preston Road in far North Dallas could pass easily for just another nursery or patio furniture store, but it's what's inside that makes this hidden jewel shine. Beyond the aisle upon aisle of clay chimeneas and farther past the piles of imports ranging in origin from China to the Ivory Coast is a family restaurant serving up some of the best desserts, coffees and chicken salad in town. The Obzeet Restaurant and Tropical Bar is hidden behind rows of fine imported statues and artifacts but defines itself by being one of the most unique dining experiences in Dallas. With a menu that consists of soups, sandwiches and cigars, how can you go wrong? But none of that endears it more than its pies, cakes and other confections. Obzeet is great for a late lunch after a day spent buried among the ordinary.
Somewhere between Mi Piaci and Chef Boyardee lies the concept of the family Italian restaurant, which is best exemplified by Café Amore in Richardson. Mama makes the tomato sauce, which is sweet, satisfying but never heavy; Papa flings the pizza dough, which makes "Ray's Original" New York pizza seem, to put it mildly, unoriginal. Their friendly bambinos wait on the hungry crowds, chilling kids with fresh hot bread and little cups of shredded mozzarella (upon request) as they wait for authentic homemade pastas, pizzas and subs, all at prices so reasonable you feel as though you should be eating in your car. So what if the family is actually Albanian? The dishes are always hot, fresh, generous and cooked to order. Try the linguini with red clam sauce--which has never failed us. Never.
How bagels lost their Jewish ethnicity and became the breakfast bread of Americans from Mississippi to Maine has less to do with assimilation than it does with marketing. But we suggest that it's time for another Jewish bread to become the next crossover cuisine, even though it is more ceremonial in nature (part of the blessing before Jewish feasts) than its distant cousin, the bagel. Clearly, you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy challah: The multi-ethnic appeal of challah is obvious during any Jewish celebration (weddings, bar mitzvahs) where gentiles are in attendance. And why not? The egg bread is sweet, fluffy, great plain or with butter. And no one makes it better than Empire Baking Company, which understands that good challah needs just the right consistency--not so airy that it's all crust and no dough, and not so doughy that it can double as a doorstop. Empire's crust and dough are in perfect harmony.

First same-sex couples receive marriage licenses in Santa Fe County
Santa Fe County clerk Geraldine Salazar indicated in a statement that she would comply with the court order — and Santa Fe County would be the third county in the state to ever issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Dona Ana County is currently issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and Sandoval County did so for 8 hours in 2004.
"I am a fervent supporter of same-sex marriage in New Mexico and have always believed that the restrictive and antiquated statutes in our State must fall to principles of equal protection embodied in our Constitution," Salazar said in a her statement. "I have been frustrated recently wanting to issue licenses but being confronted with long standing statutes that do not permit it. Now that Judge Singleton has ordered me to issue a license to Messrs. Hanna and Hudson on constitutional grounds, I intend to do so and to issue a license to any same-sex couple who desires one and are otherwise qualified. By complying with the Judge' s order we will be issuing licenses legally and will not continue to use limited county resources on further litigation."
Steve Terrell of the Santa Fe New Mexican tweeted that the first couple to take advantage of the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples were Linda Siegel and Liz Stephanics. The two were married in the county commission chambers. Stephanics serves on the Santa Fe County Commission.
Liz Stephanics & Linda Siegle get married http://t.co/3FLNx0ZIL0
— Steve Terrell (@steveterrell) August 23, 2013
Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, is a lawyer representing a same-sex couple that sued to receive a marriage license and it was his case that prompted the district court judge to issue her order to the Santa Fe County Clerk.
Walking to Santa Fe Clerk's office with Alex and Yon to get their marriage license! So proud of them and my law partners! #equality
— Brian Egolf (@BrianEgolf) August 23, 2013
Alex Hanna and Yon Hudson decided to wait to have a ceremony until their family could attend.
In a short phone interview before the clerk began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Egolf noted the historic nature of these marriage licenses.
"This is the first time in state history that a judge has ruled that the state constitution requires marriage equality," Egolf told NM Telegram.

Congratulation Linda and Liz and of course, another congratulation to Dair and Mary. It's about time that NM stepped into the 21st Century.
What a terrible time for me to be out of the country and not there to help celebrate and fight for equal rights.
Again congratulations to all
Congratulations everyone! Thank you Judge Singleton and Rep. Egolf.

Google CEO Larry Page dropped a tantalizing hint about what his company's Motorola Mobility division has been working on recently by suggesting that the company's next phones will be close to unbreakable. When asked about hints on upcoming products during an earnings call with investors on Thursday, Page said that "when you drop your phone, it shouldn't shatter." Page went on to say that he had "just seen Motorola's upcoming products" and was "pretty enthusiastic" about their "real potential to invent new and better experiences." Page's comments come after Google Chairman Eric Schmidt this week described Motorola's upcoming devices as "phones-plus," although he didn't provide any details about what new features the devices might include.

China's boom just rolls on
Page Tools
China's economic growth unexpectedly picked up in the June quarter as exports surged and investment in power plants, mines and factories gathered pace.
Gross domestic product rose 9.5 per cent from a year earlier after climbing 9.4 per cent in the first quarter, China's National Bureau of Statistics said in Beijing.
Expansion in China, the world's fastest-growing major economy, is being fed by a widening trade surplus and infrastructure spending as Premier Wen Jiabao limits investment in real estate, steel and cement to prevent gluts.
Standard & Poor's has raised China's debt ratings one level to A-, citing progress in overhauling the economy and curbing bad loans.
Traders have increased bets that China will agree to calls from the US, Europe and Japan for the yuan to be allowed to appreciate. The world's biggest economies say the currency's decade-old peg to the US dollar gives Chinese exporters an unfair advantage by undervaluing the yuan.
According to futures contracts in Hong Kong, the yuan would strengthen to 7.7915 per US dollar in a year, a gain of 5.8 per cent from the currency's pegged rate of 8.3.
Goldman Sachs Group yesterday raised its 2004 growth forecast for China to 9.2 per cent from 8.8 per cent, citing the strong first-half performance.
Fixed-asset investments, which account for more than a third of China's economy, increased 25.4 per cent to 3.29 trillion yuan ($A530 billion) in the first half after climbing 22.8 per cent in the first quarter, the bureau said. Growth in real-estate investment slowed to 23.5 per cent in the first half from a 26.7 per cent pace in the first quarter and would moderate further, it said.
New restrictions on steel investment were announced by the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top planning body. It said steel makers were banned from taking controlling stakes in local mills and small, polluting producers would be shut down.
Premier Wen is encouraging investment in infrastructure to help ease shortages of power and transport.

Six strangers are awarded the VIP Tour of the back lot of Ultra Studios. At their bequest they convince their tour guide to stop by the house of famed horror film Hysteria. Soon they find themselves trapped in the same room on the set of the infamous House of Horrors. No matter which door they take they all lead back to the same room. They assume that the house will only allow them to leave the house if they tell their most terrifying stories, which is reminiscent of the characters in the movie? Will history repeat itself? If they tell their stories will they be allowed to leave? Only after everyone is finished will they know for sure.
Four vignettes brought together recount gruesome, horrifying and hilarious tales of horror in this anthology that harkens the days of horror serials like Tales of the Crypt. Bringing together some of horror film's gratest talents and some new talent each tale is different, each outcome is special, each style is unique and blood is spilled in all of them.
We start with the hilarious "The Girl with Golden Breasts" by Ken Russell, a promising tale of a struggling actress whose breast augmentation not only wins her the roles she has always wanted but she gets more than bargained for. Hard to believe but breasts have never been this much fun. Debatable, I know. "Jibaku" by Sean Cunningham finds a married couple touring Japan when they discover the body of a Buddhist monk hanging by a tree in the graveyard near buddhist temple. Soon the wife is fantasizing about the monk and his corpse comes to her in her dreams and lures her into the depths of hell. Again, more breasts. Monte Hellman directed "Stanley's Girlfriend" in which two friends and filmmakers in Hollywood during the 1950s are soon parted by a mysterious and sensual beauty - to gruesome effect. And wouldn't you know it - more breasts. In the final recounting of horror John Gaeta makes his directorial debut with "My Twin, The Worm" which tells the yarn of a young mother who is expecting a child but also has a monstorous tapeworm growing inside her. I don't recall breasts in this one. Joe Dante directed the wrap-around segments and the backbone of this film.
Everything started off great. You had the camp. The cult icon in a lead role [Enter the Dragon's John Saxon]. You had the fantastic character actor Henry Gibson as the tour guide. Everything was pointing in the right direction for a fantastic romp of horror, sex and gruesome violence. Sadly though, after "Jibaku" the movie lost steam and it became dull, dull, dull. I began to lose interest in the film. I could sense it in the audience around me. I brought my roommate along and he told me afterwards on the way home that if I was showing this to him at home he would have returned to his room before it finished and he's usually very patient with me. Something happened halfway through the film and it ended on a sour note. Was it an imbalance in the stories? Was it too front heavy? Was it too camp and sexy at the start and just lost its steam? I spoke with others who saw the film last night while in line this morning and we didn't like it for similar reasons. Mostly we concurred that it simply cacked out in the second half.
I understand why this film is what it is. I understand what it came from and was inspired by. I get that. Am I just a victim of my own generation and inexperience then? These directors are horror film legends in their own right. They are proven quantities and respected auters in their field. So what happened? Was I just that out of touch with their work that I cannot appreciate what they contributed to this film? But is that a bad thing? Sincerely I think you should be able to go into a film and watch it, regardless of the filmmakers past work, and let it proove itself on its own. Half of these I appreciated and the others I felt were dull as dirt.
This isn't a slam against the anthology framework in which it lies. That framework is often criticized for having its own problems and is often quoted as being inconsistant itself. But I also believe that the beauty of the antholgy is that you can find bits and peices of it to appreciate and ignore the rest. Sadly this film fails in the second half and there is very little recovery from that by the end of it. There was nothing that pulled it from the mire. I liked the first two vignettes, a lot, but you lost me after that and sadly I think a lot of others in the theatre that night as well.

HTC Is Most Virtuous in Microsoft Brothel: Rich Jaroslovsky
There's a lot to like in the new HD2 smartphone, manufactured by Taiwan's HTC Corp. and available in the U.S. for Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile network.
Start with the huge 4.3-inch touch screen, which T-Mobile says is the largest available on a phone. Add the same Qualcomm Inc. Snapdragon processor that powers Google Inc.'s much-touted Nexus One phone, also made by HTC. Include a five-megapixel camera with flash. And put it all into a sleek, thin package that still manages to fit into a shirt pocket.
So with all that, what do you end up with? A very nice phone that, because it is powered by Microsoft Corp.'s soon-to- be-replaced mobile operating system, has no future. To say the HD2 may be the best Windows Mobile device ever is a little like calling someone the most virtuous in the brothel.
While Microsoft recognized the importance of hand-held devices and smartphones early on, whatever first-mover advantage it had has long since been squandered. Successive versions of its mobile software have been quirky and clunky, saddled by the company's determination to treat the devices as if they were shrunken Windows personal computers.
Meanwhile, others, most notably Research In Motion Ltd. with its BlackBerrys, took over the corporate market; then Apple Inc. rewrote the rules for the consumer market with its iPhone.
Just a Veneer
Version 6.5 of Microsoft's operating system, released last fall, placed a superficially improved user interface over the existing software. It proved to be just a veneer, though, and has done nothing to arrest the company's slide.
Microsoft's share of U.S. smartphone subscribers fell to 15.7 percent in the three months that ended in January, according to comScore Inc. That was a decline of four percentage points from the preceding quarter. Already trailing RIM and Apple, Windows Mobile now may be in danger of falling behind Google's Android platform too.
While Microsoft this week unveiled two new phones aimed at younger, social-networking users, its full next-generation operating system, to be called Windows Phone 7, won't show up on handsets until late this year.
Moreover, the new software won't be backward-compatible -- meaning HD2 users shouldn't expect to run it, or new applications written for it. So T-Mobile customers are essentially being asked to plunk down $199 and sign a two-year service agreement for a phone whose freshness-expiration date is already looming.
Watching 'Transformers'
All of which is really quite a shame, because the HD2 hardware could make it a genuinely nice experience. Start with that large screen, which makes movie-watching on a plane or train a pleasure. T-Mobile ships the device with the two "Transformers" movies preloaded -- which should give you some idea of the demographic it's aiming for -- and an application from Blockbuster Inc. to download more.
The screen's size and the tactile feedback of its virtual keyboard make it easy for stubby-fingered users like me to type even in portrait mode. Its ability to recognize iPhone-like fingertip gestures to zoom in and out aids in navigation. Unfortunately, that means getting lost in the phone's complicated package of software and hardware is easier too.
Out of the box, the HD2 uses HTC's Sense, a proprietary user interface that is fairly intuitive and simple to navigate. But it's way too easy to stumble from the Sense interface into the separate Windows Mobile one.
Dueling Buttons
The front of the phone includes two buttons side by side. Pressing the one with the "home" icon takes you from wherever you are back to the main Sense desktop screen. Pressing the one next to it with a Windows logo -- Microsoft calls it the Start button -- takes you to the main Microsoft desktop screen, which has a different look and feel.
Some of the application icons on the Microsoft screen are the same as you'll find on the Sense screen while others may be for competing versions of critical programs such as the Web browser. If you're using the Sense interface, for example, you may find yourself in Opera Software ASA's widely used mobile browser; if you're in the Windows Mobile environment, you may end up in Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
While I'm used to this sort of weirdness in Windows phones, even I sometimes found myself absentmindedly or accidentally hitting the wrong button, and wondering just what sort of usability testing convinced anyone it was a good idea.
So, while I like the HD2 hardware, I can't recommend it. With its doomed operating system, reliance on financially troubled Blockbuster for movies and the sometimes spotty T- Mobile network, the HD2 has the feel of an elegant dead end.

Submitted to: Sustainable Agriculture
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 8/21/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Soil erosion is a natural process but it is accelerated by human activities such as farming and development. Erosion diminishes the quality and productivity of the soil. Erosion is dependent upon landscape position and slope and therefore is not uniform with a field or farm. Best management of eroded soils depends upon knowing the quality and productivity of the remaining soil. This study characterized the soil properties and corn yield associated with different erosion amounts or "classes" on a Miamian soil in Ohio. The results show that there was a strong negative relationship between erosion and soil quality and productivity. This information is useful for developing precision farming strategies and best management practices.
Technical Abstract: Effects of severity of erosion on soil physical properties and corn growth and yield were evaluated on a farm for a Miamian soil in Ohio for 1993 and 1994 seasons. The depth to carbonates, total porosity, and silt content decreased while bulk density, clay content and soil pH increased with increase in severity of erosion. Corn growth and yield were adversely affected by erosion in 1993, when precipitation was lower than normal. Yield reductions in corn grain yield by severe erosion were 29.2% compared to slight erosion, and 32.7% compared to the depositional phase. No clear trend was observed for corn grain yields in 1994, probably due to sufficient rainfall during the grain-fill stage.

Flying with a toddler is probably going to be your biggest challenge, but that doesn't mean it won't be a good experience.
They are past the baby stage, so sitting / or lying in the one spot for long periods of time is out of the question. And they are not quite old enough to fully understand the benefits of flying to your destination.
However there are a number of things you can do to try and create a positive experience for everyone.
If you have not paid for a seat for your toddler and they are travelling on your lap, check with the airline as to whether the flight is fully booked or not. If it is not fully booked then ask if you can have the additional seat giving you more space to move.
If both parents sit either side of the spare seat then your toddler will not only be able to sit in the seat, they can stand up and stretch their legs too. You'll find they might like to stand and play with their toys on the seat. It will most likely be at the perfect height.
When considering entertainment for your toddler, consider a portable DVD player. The airline most likely will not screen shows that your toddler will want to watch.
If you don't have a portable DVD player, consider an MP3 player and download some audio stories onto it. You don't even have to buy them you should be able to borrow some from your local library.
You can buy really small backpacks which are perfect for toddlers; they are smaller than your average backpack and will allow you to pack only a few items for your toddler to play with. That will make it easy to keep tabs on what you have brought along and they can carry it on their back as it will not be too heavy.
Keeping in mind that your kid's ears will probably block up on take-off and landing, you might want to pack some lolly pops, or jube lollies. Both will help with movement in the jaws and instigate popping in their ears. This will feel really strange to them, but ultimately give them the relief they are after.
And whilst we are on the topic of food and relief, pack snacks, snacks and more snacks. Otherwise you leave yourself with no options other than the airline food, and the airlines do not do a very good job of catering for children.
Finally,when flying with a toddler, (as mentioned on 'Flying with a baby') create a little medical case, (use a small makeup bag, or lunch pack) think about all the what if's, what if they have a fever, what if they are teething, does your toddler have any special needs, e.g. asthma.
This is important regardless of the age of your kids.

Tom Verbanic is quiet, unassuming and probably the least likely of men to show emotion before a game is officially over. But the old-school Flint Hill coach raised his hands into the air with about a minute left on Saturday, overcome with emotion at what his program had just accomplished against Potomac School.
Connor Chess rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns, and Stevie Peterson added two touchdown throws as Flint Hill rolled, 45-27, to claim the Mid-Atlantic Conference title in McLean.
"We just wanted it," Chess said. "We wanted to bring back the MAC title back to Flint Hill for our senior year. Everybody did."
The rivals squared off with the league championship on the line for the third consecutive year, but the Potomac School (5-4) — which won the past two meetings — turned the ball over six times and faced a coldly efficient rushing game that Verbanic had worked so hard to develop in his first year at Flint Hill (7-2).
It was clear from the onset Saturday that the Huskies had bought into their new coach's ways this fall. Chess scored two rushing touchdowns early in the first quarter to give Flint Hill a 14-0 lead, and Chess opened up the third quarter with 48 yards rushing on the Huskies' first drive, which set up a 16-yard Jerrod Reed touchdown to make it 21-13.
"I thought we were physical," Verbanic said. "We've been getting more physical every game . . . we came in knowing that we were going to run it, they knew we were going to run it, and we still got it done."
Potomac School's Jalen Broome, who rushed for 182 yards but fumbled four times on Saturday, made it 21-19 on the ensuing possession after finding a seam on a direct snap that led to a 68-yard touchdown. But after Peterson hit Cole Herdman for a 13-yard touchdown pass on the next drive, the Panthers fumbled near the Flint Hill 18 and Peterson cashed in moments later with a 12-yard touchdown throw to Ben Kase.
It was crushing for Peterson to be on the last two Flint Hill teams that had lost the MAC title to the Panthers, which came in the form of a blowout two years ago and a blown lead last fall. Flint Hill will await this weekend's Virginia Independent Schools playoff announcements, which will determine whether the Huskies play on another week or not. But for Peterson, the postseason could not possibly give him the level of vindication that Saturday's win did.
"I was here when we lost 36-0 [in 2010], and I was here last year . . . I was heartbroken to watch," Peterson said. "It just feels so good, to finally win, and bring the banner back to Flint Hill."

*today's guest blog comes to us via Cary Stough*
In a recent interview at P&W, the poet Mary Jo Bang discusses the diverse roles of poets, among other things. I have never spoken to Mary Jo Bang. And I have never been interviewed by anyone concerning my opinions on the poetic craft.
That said, I will begin with a story:
My sophomore year of high school I had the opportunity to hear Ted Kooser, a former Poet Laureate, give a reading at Missouri State University, a school in my hometown. After the reading, I stood in line amidst a crowd of other admirers, wondering—contorting—over what I would say to the poet when I got to the front of the line. I didn't have a book to sign—nor had I read as much of his work as most of the people there—and neither did I have the intellectual authority to say anything compelling. Without a single notion of what to do or how to react to whatever happened, I shook his hand. It was cold and wrinkled, the skin was soft; it was a pretty basic handshake. No words were spoken, and yet I felt so much conveyed in this. The very familiarity of the action, just like the images in Kooser's own poetry, left open a wide range of possible interpretations. He smiled, I blinked, we unfolded our hands and I stepped out of line. To this day that moment stays with me, that silence between artists. I remember thinking: "This must be how poetry works."
Throughout my studies, "what poetry means to me," and how I perceive it "working" has transformed countless times. Reading this, I hope you already know, to some extent what it is like to be around poets. If you have never met one, you will eventually realize that talking to poets has more to do with "not talking to poets" than anything else. If the anecdote confused you, you probably are not a poet. And if you think you are a poet and you are still confused—if that confusion sends you into metaphysical turmoil—I may be able to help. There is alternative to the life most people live, people which are referred to as "People Who Do Not Understand Poets." Talking to poets can, in fact, be done. I will do my best and most honest effort to present both the different poets you may encounter and various ways to communicate with them. From a poet's own perspective, I can say that, even with a plan of attack, communicating with poets does not always materialize; so my first step for planning to talk to poets is a simple one:
STEP 1: Forego All Planning
You cannot plan. You cannot expect when or where you will find a poet or what kind of poet you may encounter. Leave all planning to fate and the gods of rhetoric. Poets are seemingly able to be more than one place at one time, much like their domestic counterpart, the housecat.
Anyway, once you have successfully cleared your mind of planning, I can begin to discuss the various poets you will encounter.
THE STUDENT POET: On college campuses, this is the most general and frequently encountered poet. You may find them in crowds, speaking in fragmented sentences, smoking, or drinking coffee. (SIDE POINT: All poets drink coffee) Student Poets rarely know what they are talking about. They range from 17 to 25 years of age. Sometimes student poets can carry on a fairly even-kealed conversation. Try to avoid talking to Student Poets, though.
THE GRADUATE POET: These poets are older than student poets, but they are almost just as difficult. Things to discuss with Graduate poets are: 1) Where they went to college for their Undergraduate degree. 2) Where they ate lunch (SIDE POINT: Because of their age and elevated social status, Graduate poets generally have more money, and dine at a host of locations en vogue). 3) Whether or not they are married. 4) Their writing style. 5) Their unique, poetic writing voice.
Conversely, do not ask Graduate poets to describe for you what it is like to live in a different state or list which literary magazines have published their work, because they will most definitely tell you.
THE POET WHO WANTS A Ph.D AND THE ONE THAT HAS A Ph.D: I combine these poets because they are basically the same when it comes to talking, though there is, undoubtedly, room for variation. These poets are the most "alive" of all poets—because most of them have published books or are very close to publishing books—and so their eyes are on fire. By that, I mean, when you speak to them, do not look them in the eye because you are not worthy. Even if you are a poet in this category, your worth to the American-Poetic Cannon will never reach the level of theirs, and nor will theirs reach yours. Talk to these poets about their lives, the different countries to which they have traveled, and the Established Poets they have met. Do not, under any circumstances, talk to these poets about death—that should go without saying. These poets are considerably the friendliest poets.
THE ESTABLISHED POETS: Established Poets are the highest level of poet.Your chance of meeting a poet of this sort is slim. If you work at a hyphenated place of business (ie. "coffee-shop"; "post-office"), you have as good as chance as anyone of an encounter, because such are places where all poets frequent. Established Poets are rather difficult to talk to, namely because there is much debate on whether such poets actually exist. The only known Established Poets are dead.
Whether you are a poet or a regular human being, my hope is that you use this outline to your advantage. It is true, though, that I, myself, am not sure how I learned any of this knowledge. I am sure, though, T.S. Eliot was never gifted with such a guide as this, so be grateful. From here, move on to the second and final strategy:
STEP #2: Remember, poets are difficult hold down, and if you get the chance to speak with one, keep calm, keep collected, and maybe throw in a quote from "Leaves of Grass." It is not a fact that all poets like Walt Whitman. It is a fact that all poets love shaking hands.

Fly-half Tommy Allan held his nerve to convert Damien Hoyland's late try to seal a 21-20 win for Scotland against Ireland in Galashiels.
Scotland welcome unbeaten Wales to Inverness next and, having not beaten them since 2009, Gray, younger brother of Scotland lock Richie Gray, insists they are taking nothing for granted.
"There is a great buzz in the squad after beating Italy and Ireland but we know we still have a lot of work to do and that Wales will be a very tough game," he said.
"Wales are a very good and strong team and have a lot of big forwards and hard runners in the backs so we know that we will need to respect them.
"We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, we beat Italy and Ireland but we still need to take each game at a time and have to have all our focus on playing Wales on Friday."

I have to withdraw money to my BBVA account via SWIFT transfer… but I have a little doubt… the maximum length for the bank name is 30 characters, however my full bank name is BANCO BILBAO VIZCAYA ARGENTARIA URUGUAY S.A., which is about 44 characters… did you ever have a similar problem? What should I put in the "BANK NAME IN FULL" field?
I have the same issue as well – would love to know if someone had a similar experience and what they typed in actually.
Hi explora, apparently the 30 characters is a payment gateway limitation. Simply input the bank name until it reaches the limit. Bear in mind that as long as your actual IBAN/SWIFT code (which is used to identify the bank) and additional information are accurate, you should be fine.

Done, iGO working (much much better than Sygic truck) in my tablet with HERE maps.
I've downloaded Tomtom maps but in HERE packet I have "United_Kingdom_HERE_Truck_2015.Q3_151016.poi" but in Tomtom there aren't especific truck pois. Maybe it's not important. Just extra POI's?
Is there any possibility to have Traffic info in iGO?
In folders like content/skin I have got some .zip files. If I unpack one of them in the content/skin, I will have this skin available to use with iGO, correct?
Nope, I don't have to unzip.
Last edited by Adreno; 27th February 2016 at 04:50 PM.
I have downloaded all the licences and TMC files.
The traffic info works for some countries, but not for UK.
In the thread, the config for sys.txt is:
Spoiler: click
And my sys.txt:
Spoiler: click
But, the thread is for Nextgen, and I'm not using Nextgen.
Should I include the "profile_name" lines in my sys.txt?
I can't find speedcam (spc) file for Geemany anywhere - have I overlooked something or is it really missing?
I don't have downloaded it either, so it must be missing.
You can find more recent speedcams files (that are renewed and published more often) in this forum and use them, so why worry?
do i have to remove the map folder from the unit and create new one for Q3 or just copy Q3 in the current one?
No, the program chooses the latest/newest itself. (when the correct license(s) are loaded)
You can delete the older files.

Liberty of the Seas Dining
- Pro: Strong entertainment lineup, headlined by unabridged production of "Saturday Night Fever."
- Con: Best food onboard can only be found in the for-fee specialty restaurants.
- Bottom Line: Best for cruisers who like a lot of entertainment, both in the theater and on the pool deck.
Liberty of the Seas Dining
A three-deck-high dining room accommodates nearly 4,000 passengers per night. Passengers choose between assigned early or late dining and RCI's My Time Dining program, in which you pick a preferred mealtime (anytime between 6 and 9:30 p.m.) but can change your reservations on a daily basis or simply walk in when you're hungry. (Note: Those opting for My Time Dining will need to prepay gratuities.)
Each floor is named after a Renaissance master -- Michelangelo, Botticelli and Rembrandt -- and an enormous crystal chandelier towers over the space. Meals were generally satisfactory, and that's commendable with the number of mouths to feed. There's always a "Chef's Signature Selection," and the Thai BBQ Chicken Breast with coconut-lemongrass jasmine rice was particular noteworthy. Not surprisingly, just about everyone orders at least one "Fisherman's Plate," which is Liberty's version of lobster. (Here, it's lobster tail, buttery garlic shrimp and vegetables.) A special mention goes to the crab cakes, which I opted for on more than one occasion. However, desserts were a disappointment, managing to be rather bland and offering little choice for the chocoholics.
There is a separate Vitality menu for the calorie-conscious, which equaled the rest of the menu in taste and size. Vegetarian options like Asian fried tofu with red curry sauce are sprinkled throughout the menu. Standards such as salmon, chicken and sirloin steak are also always available.
Staff were above and beyond courteous, and when a tablemate had two waiters clash behind him spilling food on his jacket, our waitress removed the item and had it sent to be dry cleaned before he ever really noticed. Apologies came in abundance, and the next day, both head and assistant waitresses checked with him to be sure that the jacket had been cleaned and returned to his cabin.
Breakfast and lunch in the dining room, renamed Brasserie 30 for the casual nondinner hours, are open seating and include the expected breakfast offerings -- Eggs Benedict, omelets, Belgian waffles -- and lunch choices that range from grilled New York strip loin open sandwiches to tempura catfish fillets.
With the Windjammer buffet complex, I found the logistical setup far more impressive than the food offerings; all the grub is centrally accessible with the seating encircling the perimeter of the space. You could easily make your way around, hit up the salad bar and pick through Jade's Asian choices (sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, rice crackers) before moving to the outsides to find a seat around the spacious, window-heavy arrangements. Even during heavy lunching periods, the crowds were never really an issue.
Regarding the food in Windjammer, mediocrity -- and fair amounts of it -- is the order of the day. There are, however, a salad bar, several very tasty sandwich and wrap choices -- such as chicken salad in spinach tortillas -- and some above-average French fries. The Asian-themed night, with its added lantern candles, chopsticks and special partitioned plates with receptacles for soy and other sauces, couldn't quite make up for the overly greasy fried rice, wilted bok choy and mildly globular stir-fried pork, as well as the disappointingly bland sushi.
Breakfast choices included eggs, premade omelets, hash browns, fruit, yogurt and cereal. Lunch options ranged from soups, sandwiches and the ubiquitous salad bar to hot dishes like meatloaf, chicken and vegetable stir-fries, carved meats and French fries.
During midday sunning hours, there's a poolside grill serving burgers, hot dogs and grilled chicken. As an alternative to the for-fee Ben & Jerry's, the gratis Sprinkles is a self-service ice cream machine that's open on the Lido from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. There's also a juice bar, Squeeze, where you can purchase energy shakes, smoothies and fresh juices. On one post-gym morning visit, I enjoyed a delightful mixture of apple, carrot and pineapple juices.
Although the main dining room and buffet venue experiences were adequate and a bit unmemorable, the food in the two specialty restaurants, Italian bistro Portofino and Chops Grille, made a more lasting impression. Portofino's Italian menu includes appetizers like mozzarella, grape tomatoes and pesto dressing; entrees like tender grilled tiger shrimp over spinach, asparagus and squash; and a dressed-up version of tiramisu for dessert, complete with an after-dinner shot of Kahlua and cream. The 10-ounce filet mignon in Chops Grille was velvet, as were the choices of sauces -- peppercorn, bearnaise, wine reduction. The communal vegetable plates, with asparagus and a surprisingly pungent, spicy corn dish, offered two of the memorable options. Portofino's cover charge is $20 per person, while Chops Grille carries a slightly higher fee of $30. Both offer four-course meals.
Johnny Rockets (Deck 12, aft) serves 50's Americana grub like burgers, grilled sandwiches, fries, onion rings and malts. I dined there at 4:30 p.m., between an early lunch and late-seating dinner. In seconds, I was seated at the counter, a plate of onion rings and fries placed in front of me. Without hesitation, my St. Louis burger -- with melted Swiss, pickles, fried onions, bacon and special sauce -- was the best meal I had onboard. There are little Jukeboxes set up at the counter and at tables with classic songs from the 50's and 60's -- Wild Thing (The Troggs), Walk Like a Man (Four Seasons), tunes by the talented Buddy Holly and the less-talented Big Bopper. A $4.95 cover charge applies for dine-in or takeout; you must pay for drinks (milkshakes, malts, floats, sodas) separately.
If you arrive at a busy time and have to wait to be seated, you'll be given a pager that buzzes when your table is ready. With the nearby arcade and sports area, you can wait while dumping money into the pricey video games or watching people play pickup basketball or rock-climb.
On the ship's indoor promenade, the self-titled Cafe Promenade, with its standard brown leather coffee-shop couches, is open around the clock for free Seattle's Best coffee, brownies (double chocolate peanut butter fudge), cookies (coconut, oatmeal raisin), cakes, little sandwiches (ricotta, black olive tapanade, red pepper on poppy seed bun) and for-fee specialty coffee drinks, with and without booze.
Also on the promenade, Sorrento's is the popular 1950s Little Italy-themed pizza spot. Beyond offering four kinds of pizza -- plain, pepperoni and daily specials (like potato and chicken or spinach, chorizo and tomato) -- it also features several antipasti selections, including zucchini frittatas, marinated mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, olives, slices of prosciutto and desserts like biscotti, macaroons, fat-free key lime mousse and fruit cups. With the exception of alcohol that's also sold on the premises, everything is free.
In place of A Clean Shave, the ship's former barber shop, the line added the Cupcake Cupboard, a Promenade-situated 1940's-style bakery that doles out everyone's favorite confection for $2.50 a pop. Along with a regular assortment, there were a couple of daily specials. At certain times of the day, it even offers cupcake-decorating classes, which proved popular with adults and children alike. Costs are $22 and $15 respectively, and of course you get to eat your creations.
Liberty of the Seas' Ben & Jerry's is a miniature version of what you'd see ashore with only slightly augmented prices. There are 11 ice cream flavors to choose from, two nonfat frozen yogurt selections and a couple of sorbet choices. Current prices come in at $4.75 for a waffle cone, $5.25 for a hot fudge sundae and $4 for a milkshake. (These are subject to change.)
Round-the-clock room service allows you to select from a few different appetizers (Caesar salad, soup), sandwiches (grilled vegetable panini), entrees (burgers, pizza), desserts (cakes, cookies) and beverages. Food is free between 5 a.m. and midnight; late-night orders incur a $3.95 surcharge. The first time I ordered via the interactive TV screen, nothing ever arrived. My next effort was made through my room phone, and the food -- chili chorizo dip with chips -- came within the advertised 30- to 45-minute time frame. On days in port where an early start is desired, you can leave a breakfast request -- a selection of Continental items (croissants, bagels), eggs, sides (like bacon) and juices -- hanging on your door before 3 a.m.

Sandblasting question
Hey guys I was out in the garage t-day cleaning my paint guns and taking them apart when I dident like this paint that was on the paint gun. So I put it in my sandblasting cabnet and started blasting it with 80 grit glass beads. I was suprized it dident do anything. I dont think the gun had a powdercoat paint on it. It is more of a gummy type of paint. I was woundering what would be a good blasting media for taking off this stuff real fast without scratching up the metal alot? Also I am gonna be sandblasting my brothers wheelz and repowdercoating them. What is a good media for taking off powdercoating. THanks, Chris
Glass bead is not good for paint removal. It bounces off the soft paint, then etches the surrounding area, this makes the next paint even harder to get off the gun, you need the polished finish on the gun, use wash lacquer thinner, you will get better results. As for removing powder coat you will need a sharp abrasive and be careful on the base metal as you will abrade it. Powdercoat is usually pretty tuff.
Hey thanks for the fast reply. Could you please give me an example of a sharp abrasive please. Thanks, Chris
hey chris try a product called black beauty i believe it is made from coal you can get it in different grits and beleive me it will cut whatever you can dish out .. i recomend using a wire brush afterwards to get the material out of the metal .this will give you a nice smooth clean surface to work with. good luck :thumbup:
See if you could hook up with somebody that has a gun cleaning cabinet. Thats the best way. I wouldnt glass bead anything with machine surfaces, it tends to ruin them. Plus it seems you can never get all the media out of something like that.
oh yea chris you dont ever want to blast a paint gun . just like igosplut said try and find a gun cleaning cabinet.. but i would use the black beauty on wheels or other things you want clean..:thumbup:
Ok thanks guys
