The week's strange travel news.
La Jolla no longer for the birds
A smelly episode for the normally tourist-friendly San Diego, Calif., neighbourhood of La Jolla is over. Gulls and cormorants had befouled the cliffs at La Jolla Cove with their droppings, but the city hired a San Rafael-based firm called Blue Eagle last month to stop the stench with an odour-eating application of bacillus bacteria. "They're getting it on pretty thick," said parks board spokesman Bill Harris. "We're noticing an improvement by noticing nothing," added local realtor Patrick Ahern. As they say, you don't know what you've got till it's guano.
Mayflower madness
Plymouth, England, is famed as the departure point for the Mayflower, which brought the Pilgrims to North America, but its reputation is under attack. Harwich, an obscure town on Britain's east coast, claims it's where the Mayflower was constructed (likely, but unverified), and plans to recreate the vessel for $3.3-million. It'll sail across the Atlantic Ocean in 2020, the 400th anniversary of the historic journey. Harwich says the Mayflower only left from Plymouth because an accompanying ship called the Speedwell had to stop there for repairs. Plymouth, however, has already announced it'll invite British royalty and U.S. presidents to celebrate there in 2020. It's a silly dispute. Real historians agree that the Pilgrims took the Concorde
Ryanair catering to frill-seekers?
You can call Ryanair a lot of things, but don't call it "no-frills." That's the official word from the Irish budget airline's spokesman, Robin Kiely. "The claim that Ryanair is a 'no-frills' airline is entirely misleading and outdated, given that we offer all-leather seats, reserved seating, industry-leading punctuality, online check-in and on-board catering for those who wish to avail of it," proclaimed Kiely in a letter sent to several publications. But isn't it weird for all-leather seats to have frills?

hey there rexy buddies im new to this site .
i own a 2000 model black ltd model automatic
about 3 weeks ago my car just started lacking power, pretty much no power.
pretty much after 2300 where my turbo should start to build
power . i put a boost gauge on and its only hitting 5psi
so far i have replaced spark plugs with new platium NGK ones
new spitt fire twin core leads
new inlet manifold gaskets
new sti injectors
new vf 24 turbo
new silicone turbo pipe {from turbo inlet to airflow meter }
new vaccum hoses and tee peices
new apexi pod filter
new front mount intercooler
new knock sensor
new fuel filter
i think thats about it
and i have run out of idea on what it could be
and im pretty mechanicly minded
i have even put it on a scanner and all that came up was knock sensor . so i replaced it and it still comes up so no idea
i was thinking my next step would be
new walbro 500hp pump and a haltech piggy back unit
to get rid of the air flow meter
which is a common problem with rexys
and convert to sti 5 speed manual .

Long overdue follow up...bad fuel pump. i noticed that the sound of the pump I would always here when I first turn the key started was different and took it in. The shop said that was ticket, replaced it, and there have been no problems since.

Thanks for the update. This may one day help another member.
Life is like riding a bicycle in order to keep your balance you must keep moving.
One of the subaru shops I've been to in town diagnosed a vacuum leak in my 04 by spraying brake cleaner in the suspected areas. It'll drop the idle down for a while and once it completely evaporates, your idle returns to normal. Mine was a loose worm clamp on a rubber hose. I also had a serious loss of power around 4500 when it slipped off. After everything was tightened down, I stomped on it in 3rd gear and changed my pants, just how I like it
Holy follow up! I know what a dead fuel pump feels like. I was doing a WOT 3rd gear pull when mine died. I assumed the worst at first, broken p/u tube, snapped timing belt... A surprising number of OEM fuel pump failures on WRX's.

Maruti 2.0: Target of 3 million annual sales
Aug 10 2014 , New Delhi
Spelling out the road map for the next 30 years -- Maruti 2.0 -- Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) Chairman RC Bhargava said the company would be at the forefront of the efforts to make India a significant player in the global market place.
With an eye on annual sales of two million units in the next five years, MSI is enhancing its research and development capability to increase fuel efficiency of all models, develop eco-friendly vehicles and provide more fuel options of diesel, CNG and LPG in existing models.
It is also developing 800cc compact diesel engines for Indian roads apart from giving special focus on electric vehicles and hybrids.
In his address to shareholders in the annual report FY14, Bhargava said: "2013-14 was a significant milestone year for us, as in December we completed 30 years of selling cars. It is a good time to review what we have achieved and what we should do in our next 30 years -- Maruti 2.0."
He said the move by MSI to let parent Suzuki Motor Corp (SMC) invest and own the Gujarat plant was keeping in mind the company's future requirements.
"The much higher availability of funds with Maruti would enable your company to strengthen its R&D and develop, and maintain the much larger number of models required to achieve sales of 3 million cars," he said.
In addition, the company would also be able to invest in strengthening and de-risking its infrastructure for sales, service and spare parts, required to cater to a sale of three million cars a year, Bhargava said without elaborating by when the company expects to touch the annual sales milestone.
In 2013-14, MSI had sold a total of 11,55,041 vehicles. In January, the company stopped production of the iconic Maruti 800, the car that revolutionised India's automobile industry. The car, produced at the Gurgaon plant, had sold a total of 2.7 million units since its launch in 1983.
Underlining the importance of strengthening R&D, Bhargava said: "If we are thinking of doubling or tripling our volumes, the number of products has to correspondingly go up. These products will have to be refreshed periodically also.
"The bar of technology, performance and features has to also go up considering the competition in the future. We have to build in-house R&D capability and capacity in line with this need."
The company is investing Rs 2,000 crore at its R&D centre and test course at Rohtak, Haryana, which is SMC's first global R&D centre outside Japan.

Target: Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta
Goal: Thank the Defense Secretary for ending the women in combat ban
Women have undoubtedly proven themselves as equal to men during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. They have shown to be so important to the defense of our country that Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta has acted to end the ban on women in combat. This will help women to move up in military ranks, and it will also create more career possibilities. Panetta's actions have opened the doors for women in the military and created more equality for our brave soldiers. Thank Defense Secretary Panetta for this important decision.
This decision will overturn a ruling from 1994 that forbid women from serving in smaller combat units. Because of their lack of experience in combat, women have a hard time gaining the recognition needed to land promotions in their fields. Women have often been used as medics, drivers, and mechanics on the front lines, but never received combat decorations or any other type of recognition. The lifting of this ban will open up more than 200,000 available combat jobs for women.
This decision comes just days after President Obama called for more equality for women in his inauguration speech. Hopefully this ban will lead to more progress with women's rights. Sign the petition below to thank Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta for his hard work in removing this primitive ban.
Dear Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta,
Women in the military have constantly faced adversity and disrespect, even though they continue to prove themselves as dedicated and hard workers. By removing the ban against women in combat, you have enabled them to move up in their career levels and finally receive the respect and recognition they deserve.
The sexism in the military will hopefully be dissolved with the removal of this ban. Not only will this create more job openings, but women will also be able to move up in their ranks and feel like their hard work has finally paid off.
Women have been fighting for our country for too long to not be granted the respect they deserve. They have proven themselves to be equal to our male soldiers, and it isn't right that they have gone this long without having the same rights. Hopefully this will lead to more accepted diversity for the people who fight to protect our country.
We thank you for standing up for women and for fighting to keep equality in our country. We will be sure to see more high ranking women in the future because of you.

US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping have begun two days of informal talks in California. The leaders are pushing for more cooperative ties between the world's two largest economies.
US President Barack Obama said on Friday that he hopes to achieve a "new model of cooperation" with China, despite persistent accusations of Chinese cyber attacks against US corporate and government computer networks.
Two's company, three's a crowd: Europe eyes the summit between China and the United States taking place in California, while trying to find its own place in the group. (07.06.2013)
Obama received the Chinese president at the Sunnylands resort in southeastern California. It is the first meeting between the two leaders since Xi took office in March.
Obama and Xi were originally scheduled to meet on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Russia this September. The US president said the "decision to meet so early signifies the importance of the US-China relationship."
Xi said he hoped the meetings would "shape the future" of US-Chinese relations. Before arriving in California, the Chinese president visited Latin America, where Beijing has been expanding investment.
'Areas of tension'
Obama said that although "there are areas of tension between our two nations," it is in both countries' interests to work together.
In recent months, Washington directly accused the Chinese government and military of hacking US corporations and the Pentagon. China denies the charges, saying it too is a victim of cyber attacks.
Britain's Guardian newspaper published details Thursday on an Obama administration policy directive on cyber warfare. In the document, the president calls for intelligence and defense establishments to draw up a list of potential overseas targets for cyber attack.
Obama and Xi are expected to discuss cyber security. The two countries are already set to hold working group level talks on the issue in July.
The two leaders are expected to discuss North Korea as well. Tensions have risen precipitously on the Korean Peninsula, since Pyongyang detonated a nuclear device last February. China is North Korea's only ally.

Wire size for 300watt trans, 3 way 100ft
Good morning...So I have 100ft of conduit in trench with 14ga thhn/thwn 4 conductors to reach a 3-way switch that is controlling a 300 watt transformer for a 12v pool light, the second switch is close to the transformer. I figure 300watt / 110v = 2.72 amps ( I think) all powered off a 15a gfcib. Given the lenth of the run I am concerened about voltage drop and over heating the wires.
So, am I okay with the 14ga, (I wish I would have bought 12)
Look at Mike Holts download on pools and 680.23(F)(2). The equipment ground must be an insulated 12 awg. The conductors can be 14 awg if you want. You cannot use the conduit (if metal) for your ground.
Thanks Stubbie, HEY the box arrived today, pretty spiffy, pretty darn heavy huh? You could have melted it down and made a cannonball. ha ha.
So I need to figure out how to waterproof the line bringing the pool light,
looks like it should work just fine THANKS AGAIN:thumbup: so check your mail box around thursday/friday. :whistling2:
So since I have to replace the ground (not sure how I missed that one, I knew 12g is minimum for equipment ground, guess I didn't associate the light switch as equipment) I think I will just pull all new 12g through. I should be able to fit 7 12g THHN/THWN conductors through 3/4" condiut, what do you think
I'm glad you like it. It was the cadillac of pool jb's in its day. Yes it has some weight to it. You should have seen the look on the face of the mail clerk when she picked it up to go on the scale....:)
FYI..... Any other conductors in the same raceway with under water light conductors must be gfci protected.
Here is a link to help you with stuff like how many wires will go in a conduit if you are using thhn/thwn conductor insulation. But yes 7 will go in 3/4 easy. You do have to derate the ampacity of the wires according to the loads when over 3 conductors in conduit but in your case you are fine.
Look at 680.23(F)(3) 1 thru 4 for clarification on the gfci requirements for other conductors in the same raceway with conductors serving underwater luminaires.
Essentially it is saying that if your gfci for the lights is at the pool panel then if you run other conductors in the same raceway leaving that panel with the underwater luminaire conductors they must be gfci protected or if you bring in any conductors load side of the transformer into the same raceway going to the swimming pool jb they must be gfci protected as well as the conductors to the underwater light.
This requirement is because the other conductors have a probability of energizing the conduit or other conductors going to the lights and all metal associated if they fault.

Good deal
Here is the general idea. The pool pump if hardwired does not need gfci unless its conductors share the same conduit with the underwater lights.
Also I'm showing the gfci breaker as that is your case.... it is not required for 15 volts or under. Darn good idea though and an above code installation in my opinion....:thumbsup:
Thanks Stubbie, yes, I am okay, I am GFCIB on lights and receptacles, not sharing raceway with pump. I remember seeing a post by you with regard to equiopotential bonding that really makes me wonder "WHY" my niche is a classic example it is PVC, low voltage light, but yet when I "Bond" it to the Equiopotential Grid, I will have also tied it into my grounding system as the lug on the outside of the niche for bonding is itself bonded to the "ground" lug on the inside of the niche. So if something goes wrong and goes to ground, the whole Equiopotential grid and everything connected to it could go live right? doesn't make sense. I know its code, and I am doing it, but I wish the niche wasn't bonded to the grounding lug.
Side note, I ran a 3/4" nipple through on of the holes you tapped and now I will be able to put a watertight compression fitting on it, so far so good. I'll take a picture of it when done. Thanks again
Speaking of Equiopotential bonding....I would imagine I would also have to bond the Junction Box to the grid as well:eek:

Your forming shell and luminaire should look something like the one at the end of my long dissertation......so grab a beer....:)
Start thinking bonding lug (a place to connect to in order to bond or join metal together as one) ) and not ground lug (a place to connect metal to a facilitate a fault current path). Not a 100% perfect comparison but I think looking at it this way will make things more understandable since you have a PVC forming shell.
Also at the end of this is a excerpt from NFPA 70 and the UL 676 governing pools documenting the part about some situations not requiring the #8 bonding wire so you don't think I pulled that one out of my ***. Take note it says "low voltage system" meaning junction box is pvc, forming shell is pvc and light is a non grounding type.The only change to that language is they now are calling it a bonding wire instead of an equipment grounding conductor. Calling it the later was misrepresenting the purpose of the #8 which is to bond the forming shell and the junction box to the grid...especially if a line voltage light and PVC conduit to a metal forming shell. So the primary purpose is bonding with other possible duties as described below. The connection of the #8 to the equipment ground coming from the wet niche light cord and transformer at the junction box is only incindental and not intentional. A result of bonding the metal of the junction box to the equipotential grid via the #8.
So assuming that your forming shell is pvc and has a bonding lug and is not a listed combination with a non-grounding wet niche light I'll try to explain as it is common for people to have a difficult time with this concept. I'm going to para phrase from some of my literature to make it faster for me to explain this bonding in the forming shell. First thing to understand is that any faults in the supply conductors to themselves or metal out to the metal junction box will cause the gfci breaker to trip out since you have one on the low voltage light circuit. Even though gfci isn't required for this low voltage light of yours it is an excellent idea. However from the JB to the forming shell its a different story. So see if the below helps you understand if not I'll give it another try.
The equipment grounding conductor in the flexible cord of the wet-niche luminaire may be relatively small (as little as 16 AWG in accordance with the NEC), and may have a length of one hundred feet or more. The relatively small AWG and long length will result in increased impedance through the flexible cord equipment grounding conductor.
If the electrical bond between the luminaire and the metal forming shell is poor or absent, in an electrical fault condition within the luminaire this increased flexible cord impedance causes a relatively greater voltage potential between the dead metal of the luminaire and other dead metal connected to the premises equipment grounding conductor.
The supplemental equipment grounding conductor in the form of corrosion resistant metallic conduit connected to the forming shell or the 8 AWG copper conductor routed with the flexible cord in nonmetallic conduit provides a second, more conductive, path for fault current originating in the luminaire. If the luminaire securement does not provide an effective electrical bond to the forming shell, there is an equally ineffective electrical bond to the supplemental equipment grounding conductor.
Section 680.26 of the NEC requires essentially all of the dead metal within 1.5 m (5 ft) horizontally from the pool wall and the dead metal of equipment associated with the pool water circulating system to be connected to a low-impedance common bonding grid, using a solid copper conductor not smaller than 8 AWG. Likewise, the electrical impedance of the electrical bond from the dead metal parts of the wet-niche luminaire to the pool bonding grid must be low. UL 676 requires the impedance between dead metal parts of a luminaire and the 8 AWG pool bonding grid conductor connected to the applicable terminal on the forming shell not to be more than 0.020 ohm. For perspective, this is approximately the DC resistance of 10 m of solid 8 AWG uncoated copper conductor at 25C, a relatively low value. So in the case of a metal forming shell the #8 plays double duty as a redundant equipment ground for fault current in the event of a fault with the lunimaire that cannot be sufficiently handled by it's equipment ground wire in the cord for what ever reason. So look at it as the metal of the forming shell is providing an alternate path for a fault at the light to get to the bonding lug and utilize the #8 for a alternate fault path fault back up to the equipment grounds in the junction box so a breaker will trip. All this is primarily directed at line voltage lights (120v) and metal forming shells.
With a PVC forming shell and a low voltage light like you have this all is rather irrelevant. In which case the lug provided on the forming shell is just a means to bond the metal of the junction box (deck box) to the equipotential grid via the #8 bond wire. You may also have a metal trim ring for the lamp which will bond to that lug with a metal strap....see the diagram.
Lets take a break...Cheers..:drink:
The equipotential grid is primarily concerned with voltage gradients that occur from external means other than the pool electrical equipment and supply conductors. By this I mean underground utilities or service laterals that are breached or failing causing current to leak into the soil in the vicinty of the pool. These voltage gradients cause touch potential of metal parts to become elevated to the point you may get electrocuted if you come in contact with a piece of metal at a different potential than the other metal around the pool as the result of a voltage gradient in or around the pool. The bonding of all the metal brings all metal to the SAME potential and then by defintion current cannot flow if touched by you as there is no difference of potential on that metal in respect to the other metal. Whew....the end.

Your forming shell is pvc it doesnt need bonding (considering it as a single unit) to the grid but the bonding lug on it will facilitate bonding the metal junction box to the grid.
If anything goes to ground like a phase to ground fault your overcurrent protection and or gfci will trip. For instance if the cord shorts to ground at the light fixture the equipment ground in the cord will carry the fault current back to the source (utility transformer) and the breaker will trip. So actually anything that would energize the grid, as remote as that would be, will cause a circuit breaker to trip as this would occur with the system wiring and the equipment grounds would facilitate the tripping of the circuit breaker on the branch circuit where the fault occurs.
Also remember that the #8 is an insulated wire from the JB to the forming shell further protecting it from being energized by any fault in the lamp cord that is in parallel with it. Everywhere else there is little contact with the equipotential grid with anything that would likely energize it as far as the pool electrical equipment and branch circuit conductors. Voltage gradients provide for a much more likely source of energizing pool metal than the pool electrical system. Therefore we bond this metal around the pool to a common grid to eliminate or greatly reduce shock hazards.
I'm glad that junction box is working out because it is a real top of the line product. Your doing a darn good job with this project and shows by your diligence to detail, you should congratulate yourself on doing your home work.

For those interested a new alternative for the bonding grid under the deck walk is in the new 2008 though I haven't verified when this alternative can be used. It is showing up as an accepted change for 2008 on Mike Holt. If your jurisdiction is under 2008 there are several important changes to Art. 680.
Stubbie, so as you know there are two grounding lugs in the JB, can I put three in there? 1 for the lamp cord ground, one for the ground in the run to the transformer, and then on for the #8 Bond? Al
1 Attachment(s)
Yes you can. But all you really need to do is put the #8 under one of the lugs and then connect the two equipment grounds (transformer and lamp cord) in a wirenut with a pigtail of solid #12 and run the pigtail to the 2nd lug. Or you can buy a 2 hole lug and replace one of the lugs if you like . Or you can stack another lug like what is in there....might need a longer grounding screw. If I remember right one of the screws is not wanting to be removed...:) Can't remember which one cause I was going to stick another lug in there for you. But decided it wasn't necessary.
The idea on the equipment ground from the transformer and lamp cord is to bond them so that fault current can get all the way back to the pool panel and from there to the main panel and out to the center tap of the transformer over the service neutral so a breaker will trip if you have a fault at the lamp. So you just want to get the metal of the box bonded to those equipment grounds in case a hot would come loose in the jb and short to the metal of the box. See below
Thanks to all who helped, Mr. inspector liked my work
I finally had my electrical inspection on my inground pool project:eek:
The inspector said it was obivious that I had done my homework:thumbup:
Passed without any problems whatsoever, and just as important EVERYTHING works as it should and is SAFE. THANKS TO Stubbie, Chris, inphase and the rest of you that helped me through the hardest (mentally) part of my pool project.

I read a news story about a Google flaw being fixed, but I guess I must be behind on my news, because I had no idea what the flaw was in the first place. Can you shed some light on this?
You've come to the right place! I know many of you use Gmail for your main e-mail program and I know even more of you use Google, so it's very important to know about this particular happening. It's good to know the whole thing is over with, but it still happened and you all should know the details of it. I will first explain what the flaw actually was and then I'll get into how it's now fixed.
The flaw mainly surrounded the Gmail address book feature. There was a security hole that left the address books of Gmail users in a spot for serious risk. Basically, with this flaw, hackers were able to create a malicious Web site that would be able to copy all of the address book entries from Gmail users. During the time when the exploit was in action, as long as a user was signed in to their Gmail account or any other Google service, the attackers could take advantage.
For example, if you are a Gmail user and you were signed in to your account, an attacker could have easily gotten ahold of your entire address book and leak its information out. But, the point is that it wasn't only Gmail that was affected. As long as you were signed in to a Google service, your address book data could have been lifted.
This flaw was discovered by a Google watcher, Haochi Chen. Chen was working on a new feature for Google Video when she noticed the mistake. She was trying to send a video to some of her Gmail contacts when she figured out that the whole address book was opened along with the video and it was visible to others.
Fortunately, Chen relayed the information to Google and they fixed the problem with Google Video very quickly. They discovered next though that the flaw was leaking out into other Google services, which were also fixed within one day. Since Google was able to act so quickly in getting this problem solved, it was stated that no users were actually affected. A security manager for Google said, "To our knowledge, no one exploited the vulnerability and no users were impacted."
Now, the main problem was found within the data interchange format of JavaScript Object Notation, also known as JSON. If that's abused, personal information can be leaked out unintentionally, without anyone ever really knowing about it. Luckily though, Google placed a fix on the problem that ensures JSON cannot be abused again.
All in all, this was a scary flaw to hear about, especially if you're an avid Gmail or Google user, but Google has had to deal with several vulnerabilities in the past and they have never let us down. This occurrence was no different. So, don't be worried about this particular problem any longer. It is fixed and secure now and your address book is no longer at risk. You gotta love that!

Shield (geology)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A shield is generally a large area of exposed Precambrian crystalline igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks that form tectonically stable areas.[1] In all cases, the age of these rocks is greater than 570 million years and sometimes dates back 2 to 3.5 billion years.[2] They have been little affected by tectonic events following the end of the Precambrian, and are relatively flat regions where mountain building, faulting, and other tectonic processes are greatly diminished compared with the activity that occurs at the margins of the shields and the boundaries between tectonic plates.
The term shield, used to describe this type of geographic region, appears in the 1901 English translation of Eduard Suess's Face of Earth by H. B. C. Sollas, and comes from the shape "not unlike a flat shield"[3] of the Canadian Shield which has an outline that "suggests the shape of the shields carried by soldiers in the days of hand-to-hand combat."[4]
A shield is that part of the continental crust in which these usually Precambrian basement rocks crop out extensively at the surface. Shields themselves can be very complex: they consist of vast areas of granitic or granodioritic gneisses, usually of tonalitic composition, and they also contain belts of sedimentary rocks, often surrounded by low-grade volcano-sedimentary sequences, or greenstone belts. These rocks are frequently metamorphosed greenschist, amphibolite, and granulite facies.
Shields are normally the nucleus of continents and most are bordered by belts of folded Cambrian rocks. Because of their stability, erosion has flattened the topography of most of the continental shields; however, they commonly do have a very gently convex surface. They are also surrounded by a sediment-covered platform. By contrast, in a platform, the shield (more accurately referred to then as the crystalline "basement") is overlain by horizontal or subhorizontal sediment. Together, the shield, platform and basement are the parts that comprise the stable interior portion of the continental crust known as the craton.
The margins surrounding a shield generally constitute relatively mobile zones of intense tectonic or plate-like dynamic mechanisms. In these areas, complex sequences of mountain building (orogeny) events have been documented over the past few hundred million years.
For example, the Ural Mountains, to the west of the Angaran Shield, are atop the mobile zone that separates the shield from the Baltic Shield. Similarly, the Himalayas are on the mobile boundary between the Angaran and Indian shields. Shield margins have been subject to geotectonic forces that have both destroyed and rebuilt the margins and the cratons that they partially comprise. In fact, the growth of continents has occurred as a result of the accretion of younger rocks that underwent deformations during series of mountain building processes. In a sense, these belts of folded rocks have been welded onto the borders of the preexisting shields, thus increasing the size of the proto-continents that they make up.
Continental shields occur on all continents, for example:
- The Canadian Shield forms the nucleus of North America and extends from Lake Superior on the south to the Arctic Islands on the north, and from western Canada eastward across to include most of Greenland.
- The Amazonian (Brazilian) Shield on the eastern bulge portion of South America. Bordering this is the Guiana Shield to the north, and the Platian Shield to the south.
- The Baltic (Fennoscandian) Shield is located in eastern Norway, Finland and Sweden.
- The African (Ethiopian) Shield is located in Africa.
- The Australian Shield occupies most of the western half of Australia.
- The Arabian-Nubian Shield on the western edge of Arabia.
- The Antarctic Shield.
- In Asia, an area in China and North Korea is sometimes referred to as the China-Korean Shield.
- The Angaran Shield, as it is sometimes called, is bounded by the Yenisey River on the west, the Lena River on the east, the Arctic Ocean on the north, and Lake Baikal on the south.
- The Indian Shield occupies two-thirds of the southern Indian peninsula.

Puella Magi Wiki is where I'm finding it. Some people on /a/ found out the runes are a substitution alphabet, and the wiki has translations of a lot of what appears there. The official Puell Magi website has been putting up cards describing each of the witches and their minions after the episodes are shown.

Taking this discussion here, as it would be offtopic for the Kyube thread.
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica isn't the first series to deconstruct the magical girl genre. Nothing that is done here is unique. The best you could say, is that Madoka is a bit more surreal, but that's it.
Enter Mai HiME/Otome, a deconstruction that happened long before this. HiME starts out normal enough (except there is no magic creature, nor transformations; the girls just have powers they awaken to). There were girls with powers and monsters to fight, although Mai didn't want to fight at first, either.
But everyone who has watched it, knows the hell to which it sunk. Girls that had forged friendships, found those bonds torn apart as they were pitted against each other. People died left and right, leaving some of them in total breakdown (Akane ended up crazy and out of it, wearing a straight jacket). Mai lost her brother, which she loved so very much. And another guy she was developing strong romantic feelings for. There was jealousy, hate, betrayal, love of all kinds, etc.
Hell, the description and actions of Kyoko, is a mirror image for Nao in HiME/Otome. Sayaka is much like Midori. Madoka is kinda like Mai. Homura is very much like Natsume.
I wouldn't be surprised if the writers took a look at HiME and said, "Let's do something with a similar feeling."
In Otome, there were deaths, and those people didn't come back. Arika watched on of her best friends kill another, and then she herself fought her best friend in rage. Afterward, she went into horrible shock, where she just sat there and didn't respond to any stimuli. She was almost raped.
Madoka has got off damn lucky compared to other MG's so far. There has been 1 death; that's it. But the tone of later HiME and Otome very much mirrors this series.
So yes, comparisons are valid. As a writer myself, I may not like criticisms and comparisons of my works, but I can't stop it. There is nothing new under the sun. We stand on the shoulders of giants, writing what has come before. Madoka follows the tropes, just like any other work.
Heh, HiME and Otome even have the same person doing very similar musical scores as Madoka, so it has the same feeling. As I said before, the only real unique difference one could probably say, is that Madoka feels a bit more surreal. But to people who have watched enough before, we've seen this.

We have to look at the issues that this shows tries to deconstruct in the MG category first and foremost. The most straightforward is being a magical girl a blessing or a curse. This trope though happens in a number of this MG shows but the key difference so far is its presented as much more undesirable especially by the long time MG girls themselves. Another question it raises it the cute magical creature that offers you this "opportunity" just manipulating a naive young girl. Can such offers be trusted and you be sure he isn't using these girls as sacrificial lambs for his own purposes? Are these girls just too young and lacking in experience to know what kind of situation they are getting themselves into? Also Idealism vs Cynicism. The normal MG is always portrayed as an idealist but what happens to those ideals when reality bites, literally. Are idealist just suckers and do they just become cynics when they finally understand strife? Are all their beliefs of saving the people just BS and in fact do they just do it for themselves and to preserve their own wishes?
Madoka is much more a deconstruction so far than My-hime, more like an Utena in that regard but done less subtly, and we'll have to see where it goes. Sure enough it can be compared to other shows in many respects but you shouldn't limit your comparisons there and assume it might will take a similar route especially when so many key things are portrayed differently.
My opinion on this issue is that while you are having a hard time accepting what the show is trying to portray. That being a magical girl might in fact be not a very good thing at all and the person who roped you into might not be looking of for you at all either. MG's might just be 13 years old suckers with illusions of grandeur. Perhaps they will have a shift and go back to a regular trope but I can't see why they'd do that.

I never thought of Mai Hime as a Magical Girl show. Just in the same way that I don't think Utena is a magical girl show. I'm not going to argue that similarities cannot be drawn, but I think you may be widening your definition a bit too much.

And what you call "funky" I call truly unique. ;p
Multiple deaths
child abuse and torture
mental breakdown, insanity
attempted rape
mass death and destruction
friendship turned into hate
When you look at it, Madoka hasn't gone nearly as far as other shows. There really is nothing new under the sun; when you watch enough, you'll understand why we have tropes.

I never stated Madoka is completely unique and I don't believe it is but I generally do have a problem with you callous disregard for addressing the actual things/fact shown in the show. You claim others go out of their way to call QB evil but we just addressing the issues the show highlights while you go out of your way to justify his every action with circumstantial what if's. You are the one most prone to ignoring things in defense of your own biased opinion.

Is it the only way to do it? Does Madoka also take a slightly different tack on deconstructing? Yes. But do they both do similar things, just taking slight different paths? Yep.
Without going into it too much, the ending may have seemed somewhat of a deus ex, but it makes sense when you realized how the powers were created, and what role the important persons actually played in the carnival. They weren't actually killed until the carnival was over; just had their energy absorbed.
We have no evidence for Kyube being evil. Is he creepy? Yes. Could his actions be seen in a more sinister light? Yes. Is there outright evidence? Nope.
Madoka is an interesting show, and there is still a lot we don't know. What me, Triple R, and many others have issues with, is that a lot of people are trying to treat their assumptions as facts.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions; they aren't entitled to their own facts.
You're welcome to think he's creepy and evil, as long as you realize we don't know that for sure, yet. If evidence does come out down the line - say we learn he has been creating MGs and witches to fight against each other for his amusement - then I will agree he's evil.
But not before then.

His actions are more than a little suspicious and their is more than enough evidence for someone to draw the conclusion that he is quite possibly evil. And people have different morals and as such they might see the manipulation of these young girls as evil no matter what goal lays at the end. If you don't think he's manipulating these girls for some purpose I can only say your mostly likely just being willfully delusional. Sure, they could be other reasoning for his actions but even then that doesn't mean everyone will find it justifiable either.
I don't like the outright dismissal I've seen of him being called evil just cause we have no definitive proof. If you going to argue against him being evil why not argue facts not we don't know's and maybe's. There's a lot of we don't know about a lot of things but the conversation doesn't stop at well we don't know so we can form a opinion yet or state your opinion. He certainly someone who is very subtlety deceptive but it is highlighted to nth degree that it's very hard to ignore. I personally think chances are he's evil but he might just be an asshole. I don't see how I can justify throwing these girls lives away when he clearly doesn't inform them of the extent of the situation they are getting themselves into.

Published December 22nd, 2010
Dry conditions and a lack of significant rainfall coupled with very heavy fog this morning have made any suppression efforts on the Burnt Island Fire in Southeast Alachua County extremely difficult for firefighters.

Hi guys,
yesterday I finally get my xbmc working with android remote: now I can use my Android as remote but after chosing a video and start playing it... after a while the info of the video appears in the tv even if I didn't touch the Andoid phone (it was in standby mode with black screen).
I wake up my phone and I hide the info of the video with the remote but after a while it happened for the second time.
I close the android remote app and disconnect my phone from the WiFi and it never happens again....
Any idea about the reason?

I have similar overlays...Pretty cheap solution to customizing that piece. Where do you pick up the plasti dip and which product is it? I went to their website and there are a ton of different kinds.

Hey man, I just got my overlays in the mail. Do you have to take off the badges to put them on? And do you need the plasti dip? It seems like its just a sticker to me I couldn't just stick it on?? Can you explain my options I'm a little lost! Haha
its just a sticker so you can put it on with out removing anything. i put plastidip on the chrome ring out on the outside of the badge cuz i didnt like it

You didn't like how the outside of the badge looked with the black sticker ?
I have the overlays too and I agree with 11blackwrx...The chrome outline just doesn't look right with the dark overlays.
On a side note...The overlays are very easy to put on. You can put them on and take them off to make sure the placement is correct as long as you don't press it on too hard. Just tap it lightly until you get the right position, and then press down with more force to get it really on there. Once you press down pretty good on it don't try to take it off again or you will stretch it out and ruin it.
How did you get the badge off and back on?
its just like a big sticker, all you have to do is line it up and as long as you dont press down hard you can take an egde and slowly peel it up

Rosemont, Ill. -
Attached, please find the 2014 Big Ten Men's and Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships release. The event will be hosted by Purdue University from May 16-18 at Rankin Track & Field in West Lafayette, Ind.
Rankin Track & Field at Purdue University is set to host the 2014 Big Ten Outdoor Track & Field Championships, scheduled for Friday through Sunday. Last year, Penn State took home its fourth Big Ten title, and first since winning three straight from 2008-10. The Nittany Lions compiled 133 points en route to the crown. Illinois and Ohio State finished second and third, respectively, while Michigan and Michigan State rounded out the top five.
On the track, Penn State's Mahagony Jones looks to repeat as the Big Ten Champion in the 100-meter dash and also holds the conference's top time in the 200-meter dash this season. Fellow Nittany Lion Evonne Britton aims for her second-consecutive Big Ten title in the 100-meter hurdles, while teammates Leigha Anderson and Dynasty McGee have posted the conference's best times in the 10,000-meter run and 400-meter dash, respectively. Michigan State's Leah O'Connor aims for Big Ten crowns in the 5,000-meter run and 3,000-meter steeplechase for the second year in a row, while Ohio State's Alexis Franklin looks for back-to-back titles in the 400-meter hurdles. This season, Michigan's Brook Handler boasts the conference's best time in the 1,500-meter run, while Purdue's Kari Shoolbraid paces the Big Ten in the 800-meter run.
In the field events, three conference champions return to defend their respective titles. Illinois' Stephanie Richartz and Penn State's Laura Kenney are the reigning Big Ten Champions in the pole vault and javelin, respectively, while Purdue's Dani Bunch took home the shot put crown last season. This season, Nebraska and Penn State pace the Big Ten in the remaining six field events, including Huskers Ellie Ewere (triple jump), Annie Jackson (discus) and Tierra Williams (long jump) and Nittany Lions Brittney Howell (heptathlon), Melissa Kurzdorfer (hammer throw) and India McCoy (high jump).

NAU Football Media Day Quote Sheet
August 10, 2014
Zach McDonnell – Junior Defensive Lineman
Outlook on this year's defensive line: "I'm excited about our group. We have guys coming in and we have senior defensive tackle Junior Vicente coming back. All of our younger guys and transfers are all very strong and mature for their age and they came in ready to play. We're a relentless group and our physical mentality is what our pride for this season and that's what's going to make us a successful defensive line."
Taking on a leadership role: "I'm fairly comfortable with it because of the experience I gained from so many guys since I came in. I've had multiple senior groups that I've been able to learn from and hone my leadership skills. I want to be able to transfer that and help the new guys learn and get them on the field."
Joe Gurski – Junior Offensive Tackle
Outlook on this year's offensive line: "Roy Garcia is our center. He's our leader and gets us all together. Jacob Julian is a preseason All-American and he's a hardworking kid. He solidifies the right side of our line. We have a battle at right guard with Leroy Guenther and Tyler Shank. Both are great guys and bring a lot to the table. Leroy has been our sixth man coming in when one of us goes down and he's done a great job with that. Eric Rodriguez is at left guard and he's just been balling. He's a strong kid and a force and really good in the run game. (Eric and I) work well on the left side together and we all mesh well, but Roy is the one who brings us all together."
Outlook on the offense: "You can't replace a player like Zach Bauman but we have a lot of good running backs ready to step up. Casey Jahn has been here since day one and he's always done a great job. Casey and Corbin (Jountti) are going to be great this year. They're special players and they're going to pick up the slack. We have five running backs who are killing it so I'm not worried about that. Kyren (Poe) is settling in and it's always hard in the first year with jitters; I had them and it happens. Our line is better and we're improved and we're way ahead of where we've been in previous years. We're getting comfortable as an o-line and we're going to give him the time that he needs."
Kyren Poe – Junior Quarterback
What he learned from his first year as a starter: "With a year of experience under my belt, the game really slows down. I've got a better understanding of the offense and what decisions I'm supposed to make. Those are things that have helped me out a lot heading into this season and to build on last year."
His offensive weapons: "Casey is a great running back. It's going to be hard filling Zach's shoes but I have no doubt in my mind that Casey can step up and do the job that needs to be done. The guys on the perimeter are top-notch. They make every single play and they make me look good all the time. It's something that is exciting as a quarterback. The offensive line is solid up front and when you have time to throw to big-time receivers and you have good running backs, it's exciting for an offense in my opinion."
Ify Umodu – Senior Wide Receiver
How hungry he is this season after missing last year: "Missing last year is going to play a big role. I'm just trying to get back on track with what everyone has been doing and keep up with the success that we had last season and try to be even better this year. It's going to be a hard task because we lost so many seniors, but I've been working really hard. It pushed me to work really hard past my injury to help me get back on the field. I'm trying to perfect what I do as a receiver and as a teammate, so I'm really looking forward to this year."
Outlook on this year's receiving group: "We're very versatile and very diverse. We have a lot of different parts and everyone can play a big role. We have a large freshman class and the potential with them is astronomical. They can be as good as they want to be because I've never seen freshmen that have a refined skill set at this level coming in. They have technique to catch the ball, route running and blocking and they have the ability to learn the concepts and plays at a quick rate. We only have two or three returning receivers so we're going to be depending on the freshmen a lot this year and it's crazy to see how good they are already."
Marcus Alford – Junior Cornerback
Outlook on this year's secondary: "At cornerback along with myself we have Blake Bailey and Randy Hale who each have started many games for us in the past. They're both seniors so we're pretty experienced at the cornerback position. At safety we have five or six guys and in particular Rob Watson and Shawn Sharkey who are very hungry to show what they can do. They didn't get the spotlight a lot because they were behind Lucky (Dozier) and Blair (Wishom) but they'll impress."
Outlook on the defense: "We had such good players and depth last year to the point that our second string defense was also very good. A lot of those players will have to play bigger roles this year. We have so much competition during camp that it raises everyone's play. When the season comes and we have those younger guys like Shawn Sharkey or Delvin Batiste on the field, their play will be raised."
Casey Jahn – Junior Running Back
What he learned from Zach Bauman: "Zach taught me a lot. Being with him the last two years, he taught me how to prepare for a game from watching film and how to evaluate a defense. Another important thing he taught me was to be humble because he was a really humble guy and he was the star of our team. Those were two of the main things I learned from him and they were really important."
Stepping into a leadership role as the only upperclassman running back: "I've definitely taken on a leadership role because we have a ton of young guys. I'm trying to help these guys out, help integrate them into our system and learn the plays. They're all very talented and they all have a bright future at NAU. It's been going very well so far and I've really enjoyed it."
Austin Hasquet – Senior Linebacker
Outlook on this year's defense: "I definitely believe that we're going to be strong. A lot of people are thinking we won't be as strong as last year but in my opinion from what I've seen so far, we're a lot farther ahead than what I thought we'd be at this point. My expectations are very high for this defense and I fully expect us to be just as good as last year if not better."
Why they're farther ahead this year: "I honestly believe it's because guys are self-motivated during the offseason to improve their game. Getting in the playbooks, watching film and improving their techniques. Our safeties that haven't played as much in the past and now is their time to step up and they both have. We have junior college transfers coming in to play d-line who have been very physical and they're playing hard. One thing more than anything we're going to have to play hard because we have a lot of good offensive teams in this conference. We're going to have a good defense, a lot better than people think."
How much he wants to win a Big Sky Championship: "I want it more than anything. I want it more than any personal accolade I could receive. That's my ultimate goal here. We haven't won a Big Sky Championship since 2003 and I want to win it outright. We're going to have to beat some good teams and I believe this team has the ability to do that. We're going to play hard every week and see what happens."
Nick Butier – Junior Fullback
Outlook on this year's backfield: "I think we've seen a lot of talent in Casey since he got here. Now that he has the chance to take over the offense himself, you see a run like in the scrimmage yesterday where he broke it for 65 yards by himself by breaking three tackles. I'm excited to see what Casey will do this year and same with Corbin Jountti, he can hold his own just as well."
What has changed within the program the last two years: "Dr. Campos has brought a well-placed infrastructure that has helped bring money to the program. It's resulted in more fans in the stands. When I first got here, there was a sense of unknowingness and we wondered what we were going to do in the offseason. But now everything is in place and everyone knows what to expect. That makes us more comfortable. We feel much more support everywhere from the school and the community. That's helped us a lot knowing that people will be in the stands for our game. All the people that came to our games last year was wonderful."

and more!
Material: Cotton
Free shipping for all orders over $100 within the continental USA and APO.
Great, lightweight shirt. Very comfortable and nice quality. Fit was just right! Very happy with how quick the shirts arrived. Excellent Customer Service!!
The material on this shirt is extremely light and I'm looking forward to wearing it in the heat of the summer. There is a lot of quality workmanship that went into making this that isn't apparent until you put it on. I really like the pockets, which are different on either side. The larger one has a hidden sleeve for a pen or pencil or stylus. Extremely comfortable.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
"Thought Crimes: The Art of Subversion" was a like a tent revival, a great awakening for subversive art in an America becoming increasingly more repressive. Curated by DiverseWorks visual arts director Diane Barber, the exhibition was rife with provocative art that dealt with everything from politics and social issues to pure, joyful brattiness. Preemptive Media asked us to subvert the evil empire of Wal-Mart using giant Madagascan hissing roaches. Tricksters the Yes Men masqueraded as corporate spokespersons to dupe the BBC and shame Dow Chemical. Joe Wezorek gave us a portrait of George W. Bush constructed from the faces of the dead. Then there were the Neistat Brothers, who showed us how to blow up a pickle. "Thought Crimes" gave the finger to the repressive powers that be.
Bar hoppers and pub crawlers alike still reminisce about the talent the Ale House's kitchen had for sating the drunken munchies. We find the Stag's Head does more than come close to matching the old classic's mad skillz. It tops them. No need for a late-night Taco Cabana run when the Stag's Head makes stuffed jalapenos, fajita nachos, burgers and Jamaican jerk chicken tenders. Not only that, the pub serves up fresh pizza from a wood-burning oven. And if you still feel something Britter is better, there's also fish 'n' chips, cottage pie, and bangers and mash with Heinz baked beans on the side. We dare you to get Britter than that.

Friday nights at Zake are the place to be for raw fish consumption. That's when Elaina "Lushus" Brown, a staple in the local sushi nightlife scene -- yes, there is such a thing -- hits the restaurant's DJ booth to provide musical accompaniment to your evening of Japanese cuisine. We're not giving Brown a shout-out just because she's a gorgeous dame who makes the atmosphere of this swank Montrose sushi spot that much more beautiful. We also think that listening to sweet house grooves while chomping down on uncooked fish is the most exotic way to spend a Friday night.
It's been said that the family that shoots stick together stays together. Of course, Ted Nugent said the same thing about hunting elk, but that's neither here nor there. We suggest visiting Slick Willie's "Family" Pool Hall during the waking hours, before the downtowners get too knackered and the place gets all smoky. The joint has tons of games, both on the table and off: 14 eight-foot pool tables (with one on the outside balcony for nonsmokers), tons of video games (from the classic Galaga to Golden Tee), air hockey and darts. There are even a few TVs for those who prefer to remain spectators. This is no dingy dive full of sharks and hawkers, but it does have a certain authenticity. Patrons down cold buckets of beer, stiff bar drinks and your typical bar fare -- pizza, fried cheese, popcorn, etc. Mosey on over for a few games, but remember: Watch out for the hustlers.

Every summer dozens of graff kids hit the streets, wielding cans with skills so lame their scribbles wouldn't look out of place knifed on a park bench. Someone even tagged the Art League Houston's Inversion house, messing up a highly original work. Whoever that hack is, he should take a lesson from YAR!, who's been plastering the Montrose with dope shit all year long. It's YAR! who's been painting all those pictographic faces on walls and Dumpsters, and it's YAR! who's been putting up those bad-ass black-and-white posters on fences and metal boxes. While other graffers seem resigned to crappy scribbles -- hell, even the GRAVEYARD crew is guilty of that, especially around West Gray -- YAR! has taken it to the next level.
"Hip-hop" club Coco Loco's main audience has always been a progressive, young Latin crowd whose collective ear stays planted firmly to the street. From the beginning, the club has featured Latin nights mixed in with more urban fare, but in recent months, Coco Loco has begun to lean more toward the new sounds coming from across Latin America, mainly reggaeton, the salsafied version of reggae that started breaking stateside during the past couple of years. The club's sound system is top-notch, built to rattle your ears and make your chest palpitate. There's plenty of space for VIPs above the main dance floor, not to mention a special second room for getting freaky. (Or so they say.) The whole place is filled with good folks getting down to the latest Latin sounds mixed with hip-hop, much of which comes from our own barrios. This ain't your grandma's cantina -- this is one of Houston's hottest places to party.

< Oct. 10, 2012 > -- Which do you prefer - a casual stroll around the block or a vigorous walking workout? If you want to help prevent metabolic syndrome, often a precursor for type 2 diabetes and heart disease, you should go with choice No. 2.
That's the conclusion of Danish researchers who followed more than 10,000 adults for up to a decade.
For the study, published this week in the journal BMJ Open, researchers at Bispebjerg University Hospital in Copenhagen enlisted Danish adults ages 21 to 98, assessing them between 1991 and 1994. At that point, about 20 percent of the women and 27 percent of the men had metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome refers to a combination of health factors - high blood pressure, high blood sugar and blood fat levels, and excessive belly fat. These factors raise the risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke.
At the beginning of the study, participants who were the least active were the most likely to have metabolic syndrome. Nearly a third of inactive women and about 37 percent of inactive men had the syndrome, compared with 10 percent of physically active women and about 14 percent of physically active men.
Researchers then followed the participants for up to 10 years. By the end of the study, about 15 percent of the people who didn't have metabolic syndrome in the beginning had developed it. Here's how the syndrome tied into physical activity: About 19 percent of inactive people ended up with metabolic syndrome, but only 12 percent of those who were very physically active developed it.
When researchers looked more closely at the type of exercise, they found that intensity had a greater impact than length of time exercising. Fast walking cut the risk by 50 percent, and jogging cut the risk by 40 percent. Going for an hour-long walk each day did not make any difference.
For more information on health and wellness, please visit health information modules on this website.
Try these walking techniques to help you get off on the right foot:
Wear comfortable, supportive walking shoes.
Warm up for five minutes by walking at a slow, easy pace. At the end of a brisk walk, cool down for five minutes in the same way.
Avoid overly long strides. Instead, use small, quick steps to prevent injury.
Land on your heel with each step, roll your foot from heel to toes, then push off with your toes.
Pull in your abdominal and buttocks muscles as you walk.
Walk with your head up, chin level, chest up, and shoulders back.
Always talk with your health care provider to find out more information.
