i have the p95 and feel the same way as you, it is a great gun, but not for CC. after trying many, many smaller sized guns, i chose the glock 26. i put +0 grip extensions on it and it REALLY helps... at first it was "jumpy" like you said, but with a firm grip and the extensions, i am getting used to the added recoil of the smaller gun. the G26 is really starting to grow on me
i tried the bersa 380 and that did not work out for me. i also tired a ruger lcp and talk about snappy. wow. i am just not comfortable with it.

YouTube Frustrations: 'Say Anything' [VIDEO]
YouTube doesn't often fail me, but today it has. I had planned to write a post about John Cusack in "Say Anything" and include a video from YouTube of the iconic boombox scene in honor of #Throwback Thursday, but instead you're getting this…
Because the scene is so iconic, apparently everyone has already seen it, and it's not worth posting on its own. Instead there are a myriad of videos that spoof the scene. If you've never seen the film, "Say Anything" it's worth watching. It's a classic 80's movie with great music. Just watch Emma Stone in "Easy A", and you'll understand what I mean.

Additionally if you haven't seen "Easy A", it's also worth the watch if only for this scene:

Gamasutra - Why I Abandoned New Vegas For Rome
Gamasutra has a piece titled Analysis: Why I Abandoned New Vegas For Renaissance Rome in which the author gives up on Fallout: New Vegas to play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. While it's called an "analysis", it comes down to some personal preferences in my reading. Personally, I could never understand how anyone became emotionally attached from the "gowing up" vault sequence in Fallout 3:
game was just boring so I didn't play it.
edit: to clarify - the whole part was just too quick and there was nothing to make me feel like I was growing up and making a connection.
In meantime I've become a dad so I might give it another shot.
I thought the beginning was pretty good, actually, but I think it completely lost what it had built pretty much right after leaving the first vault.
The story kinda dwindled into very little of actual interest - and the connection with the father and his plight was pretty much ignored by me.
NV seems to handle a story flow much better, though I have yet to play it for a serious length of time.
I couldn't care less about the story in F3. In fact, there was about a 8 month gap between the starting the final mission and completing it on my playthrough.
I didn't like the start all that much either, except for a few moments. There were too many moments of over-the-top--but-not-in-a-good-way-cheesiness.
I like the part where you can play with the ball as a baby in FP.
I too thought the start was very strong, and the momentum was completely lost once exiting the vault. Seems unavoidable given the open world design.
New Vegas seems to be able to do it, but obviously the freedom and non-linearity sensation is somewhat less strong.
The happy medium should theoretically be feasible.
I still think the Gothics are closest to this elusive mix of a strong narrative drive and a strong sensation of freedom.
But which Gothic?
Hmmm I'd have preferred 3 - if only the combat was better, and the story not quite so open and bland.
It came relatively close, though.
Agree with most others… the Fallout 3 main story was embarrassing, where as the New Vegas world made me really want to effect it and decide who would rule. They're leagues apart for me.
Yep, it's a trade between openness and narrative drive. I'm just saying you can't have both maxed.
I'm saying that it is not feasible. As soon as you deviate from the story in open world exploration, you lose momentum from the narrative. Unless EVERYTHING you can do in the open world is part of the narrative. Good luck on that one…
This sort of construction doesn't build a linear narrative but constantly build a narrative puzzle. It's definitely one of the best experience. And for the final quote, at end of a the game, once all finished, you could not quit the game yet, and travel there and there to say goodbye to all friends before to leave. And all important one had a little bit to say for this goodbye.
Too bad the guy that made it had already a full time profession and also that he mostly made alone the game certainly help keep such a mad coherency.
What game was that? It sounds like way too much work for large open RPGs. It could be someone's life work, I suppose. But it wouldn't be financially viable as an enterprise, methinks.
Open world RPGs' main narratives work best when they are not immediate threats. In New Vegas you're just hunting down the man who shot you, there is no immediate need to find him. Then you have to decide which faction to work for, but again there is no immediate need to make a decision.
The game itself is more an engine for scenario. It's RealmZ, it is free with a free scenario joined to the game. This scenario is ok and show some interesting design points from a open world perspective, there no real main quest the point is a lot more about discovering the various bits. In no way it will figure the scenario I quoted, the Swordlands trilogy:
Alas this one is still not free and because of that you'll perhaps gave up particularely because the guy busy with codes required is well quite a problem and the author of the scenario have no way to provide himself codes for playing his scenarios. I have the codes of all scenario and wouldn't bother to borrow some but I only have Mac codes.
Anyway as I already quoted the game doesn't work well nowadays and in fact never much in its Windows version. The crap is that various professional offered exchange the rights on ipad and iphone with a guaranty to port and support the game to nww computers OS, well I mean OSX. But well owners of the game was a problem and now the game is plain dead.
About the scenario I quoted, I mean the first of the trilogy (in fact the second is better), you get hired to investigate about trading between two area that have been broken. But you quickly discover that it's far to be an isolate event but that it's vast conspiracy and manipulation that's already penetrate all the area and many sphere of influence. There's bandits attacking systematically caravans, but it's not simple bandits and discover clues about an organized plan and you get clues about the global plan. There's problem in a mining town? But you discover . There's a murder in a hostel? You investigate and discover clues about a guild assassin with links with the overall conspiracy plan. You even discover that some kings or barons that gave you some quest are in fact already manipulated. And so on, and so on. And the whole is rather funny and fascinating.
And I'd say that the last touch allowing come back in various area and say goodbye to various old friends, it's just a great touch concluding beautifully a maniacally tuned game from, story, scenario, branches, non linearity management, and fights to puzzles and exploration design. Well in the limits of the engine.
I agree with the writer. This was one of the several reasons I stopped playing New Vegas. Imo, Obsidian is good at writing dialog but not so good at creating a character or story I have any interest in following.
Could have used more enemies though. That's one thing I missed from Bethesda's mindless "sandbox" dross, more enemies encountered while simply roaming about.
On a completely unrelated note, I wish they'd either reboot Fallout or come out with a similar game under a new name. The timeline is all messed up as it stands. 200 year old Mac & Cheese boxes? Newspapers still somewhat readable and undecayed? Fully-funcitonal computer terminals untouched in 200 years? Radiation? Still?! Maybe I'm just being anal…

Start of March!
Vietnam here we come!
01.03.2013 - 02.03.2013
Can't believe we have had a week here already! yesterday (1st March) we spent the whole day travelling on a bus!! bloody boring if you ask me but our visa started then so we wanted to get to vietnam! We met a couple from Holland on the bus with us which was a relief as together we were the only travellers! the bus journey was about 14 hours and wasn't too uncomfy, but there always seems to be a lot of changing buses and food stops (but i guess thats part of the adventure). they seem to be very relaxed about all the changes but it might have something to do with the fact that they probably take this route regularly as they were stocking up on Angkor Beer and cigarettes to take into vietnam! Just have to go with the flow! The border crossing was interesting and a lot nicer than the crossing into Cambodia! After we had crossed the border we had yet another stop but we had some vietnamese pork and noodles which was really nice, and as pathetic as we are we still have to get to grips with using chopsticks properly! i am determined though!
We got to Ho Chi Minh City at about 8.30 and decided that together with the couple from holland that we would search for accomodation. luckily we found out the the guy spoke fluent vietnamese, as they seems to speak a lot less english here than Thailand and Cambodia, and we soon found a place to stay with nice big rooms down an alley way. it was also nice because we had a great view of the city line from our window, which i think in other hostels you are lucky to get or have to pay extra for a window! We went out for a drink with the couple which was really nice, i think they liked the fact we were an exception to the british culture of drinking, as they said they could probably point out a Brit in a resort or on a night out! (not really that suprised).
we then spent today (2nd) walking around the city. we visited the War museum which was fascinating and definitely worth a visit especially paying about 15,000 dong which is less than $1. it housed some incredibly strong images of the war and i think we both found it really moving! some of the detail about the torture methods was horrific especially the results of using Agent Orange across vietnam, and the effect can still be seen today in deformities of children and disease! powerful stuff!
This afternoon we checked out of the hotel and have been doing some more exploring and chilling for a bit. we have a sleeper train later to Nha Trang which is next to the beach so we should have a few days chilling, i dont think either of us can wait! it is a lot of moving around but i guess we are seeing a lot more that most do in 6 1/2 weeks, when most take months! A good excuse to come back and do some more exploring though for sure!
p.s apologies for the lack of photos but it has been hard to upload them as you have to upload them one by one which is very slow! I will try to put more up but reassuring people there is no shortage of photos being taken some incredible sights!

Porting, or port matching?

Welcome to the world of racing! Budgets are ALWAYS exceeded, deadlines are never met, end-goals never reached, and wives always unhappy... it's all worth it though!
yes im talking about porting the inlet and the exhaust ports
I wouldn't do it. Just run a gasket matched AEB with a good intake manifold and big throttle body and big injectors on good software with big turbo and big intercooler and big external wastegate with strong rods and balanced crank assembly and fluidampr.

^this. A solid, high flow engine can only get better. Not doing a proper job can also hurt flow+velocity, though that's a can of worms I don't want to open. In the end, an AEB and SEM will flow plenty
Audi TT FAQ --- Maintenance, Misfires, and a XT Spec-B swap --- Great Lakes TCL Registry
and there are lots of high WHP cars running on AEB NON PORTED HEADS! Joel, Frankie (was), myself among them. and these are 700+ whp, 900+ whp, 600+ AWHP as well....
i would stick with the factory ports.
I have data which I need to post from our CNC'ed Cylinder head program
FLOW #'s For:
AEB Big Port
AEB Big Port - CNC Ported
AWP Small Port - CNC Ported to Big port opening
AWP Small Port - CNC Ported
Alot of people will find the results very interesting. Unless you are gun hoeing for 700+hp , the small port head is NOT a bad option.

yes i have the AEB head from an AUDI A4, my problem is that in MALTA thers only one cnc and i dont now if they make cylinder heads, and if im right i need a sort of program or sizes on with the cnc wil work?.... and thank you very much for the help that all of you are giving me thanks.

hi, thanks for you interest, on my project im working in a difirent way when i bouth the aeb head i told him to send me an audi a4 inlet so i can make a costom one i think will be better,and from RMR i can buy the parts for the inlet..
I ported my head. Just did a gasket match and took it all the way down. At a minimum I'd smooth out all the nasty spots in the casting. And then I polished the exhaust after gasket matching that with 4 or 500 and then 1000 lol. Also polished the dome but not as good as donr's. Lol dons is fuc&in mirror haha. It's not cnc'ed but I didn't have funds for that. I got 4 mouths to feed and a house to pay for before car money.
haha hi mates we are on the same boat, we have a four years old girl too and an unployed girlfrind too at the moment we are not merried, i dont now what its hapining to this world f***

i now that whit the cnc is a perfect job but its to expensive and i now how i am made if i take care of something i can make it good
port shape is often more important than port size .. i suggest dont concentrate on porting the head rather just work on the bowls ''area from valve guide to valve seat'' and just sharpen up the individual port webbing that divides the individual valves ...
AEB gasket matched and bowl blended
AWP ported to a AEB bowl blended and gasket matched
sorry for the bad cell phone pics

thanks a lot for the pics. it looks like you had a lot of work on it but you did a great job.
Last edited by glanzav133; 12-08-2010 at 01:07 PM.
Not really i can make a small port into a large port in about 3-4 hours all done ported and polished .. it helps when you have the right aluminum rotary files and drum rolls flap discs and cross brushes ... and a good pneumatic die grinder
http://www.radiac.com/ is where i get all my porting stuff from ..
this is also a good starting point to see what works for you http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Stand...s#ht_535wt_941

Good food on campus
I had just one Glass House breakfast, but it rivaled my lunches: a light, classically constructed omelet filled with fresh spinach, Vermont Cheddar, and sautéed mushrooms. It was exceptional, as were the accompaniments: thick rashers of crisp apple-wood-smoked bacon; substantial slices of toast; and a mound of hash browns that mixed cubed Russets and sweet potatoes with caramelized onions, fresh chives, and sweet basil. My one small quibble would be that the Glass House needs better jams at breakfast-those little packets don't cut it, and I know from other dishes here that the place does a mean homemade jam. Aside from that, even the coffee was terrific, served in a pretty porcelain cup with cream in a sleek angular metal pitcher. The tea water here is hot enough to actually brew a decent cup.
The Glass House has managed to find some of the most personable servers in Ann Arbor, and we were well looked after on all of our visits; recommendations were knowledgeable and delivery was prompt. At one lunch the server misheard our order and delivered a sirloin medium well instead of medium rare. We didn't have time for a do-over, so she tried to make it right, ultimately taking our drinks off the bill. At one lunch our waiter even brought us each a gift-a bottle of Jones soda with a picture of John McCain on the label. The restaurant staff had ordered two cases each of McCain and Obama soda, and though they'd sold out of Obama quickly, they couldn't give away McCain. I really didn't mean to, but when I packed up my stuff to leave, my subconscious left my McCain on the table.

The Rules
I hate web sites with long legal pages—you know, the kind with sub-subheadings and seven-syllable words and references to the U.S. Constitution and, every now and then, something written IN ALL CAPS, like the webmasters' lawyer is yelling at you or something. But, unfortunately, those pages are remarkably effective at making the peons tremble with guilty fear… and you know how I like to make the peons tremble. So I wrote up my own Terms of Use page, complete with sub-subheadings and occasional YELLING. Abide by my rules, or suffer the consequences…
Terms of Use
By using this site (which you are, right now, just by viewing this page, YES IT'S TRUE) you are hereby bound by the following terms and conditions:
- You are of proper legal age to view content which contains mature themes and occasional swear words (otherwise, get an adult's permission—go ahead, I'll wait here).
- You are not of an overly sensitive nature, or have any medical/mental conditions which make it inadvisable for you to view a site run by a person who frequently writes about boobies, bodies, and bloody carnage.
- If you ever meet me in the street, you will avoid eye contact and pass silently by. WE SHALL BE AS STRANGERS. *
Abuse and Cyberstalking
Abuse, as defined by me (Romy), consists of any or all of the following actions:
- Trying to hack or hijack any part of this site
- Copying my content and publishing it as your own (on a website, message board, or in "real life")
- Using the mail forms to spam or harass me
- Pretending to be someone else in order to spread confusion and/or false information
- Trying to infect my computer or those of my visitors with malicious software or viruses
Cyberstalking, as defined by me (still Romy), consists of any or all of the following actions:
- Spending more than five hours a day actively surfing this site, for a period of at least four weeks
- Repeatedly sending me harassing, threatening, or just plain stupid e-mails
- Trying to find out information about my background (phone number, home address, names of relatives, etc.), even when I have explicitly refused to give you any info
- Repeatedly contacting me or visiting my site after I have ordered you to stop
- Continuing to attempt to access my site even after your IP has been banned
- Going through my entire site (archives and static pages included) one or more times per day (particularly if your activites already conform to the first condition on this list)
I don't spook easily, but when I do, there are no second chances. If your behavior conforms to any or all of the actions noted above, you will be banned from all of my websites and reported to your ISP.
Linking Policy
You may link to any public part of my site, provided that you are not linking from a site that provides illegal information, espouses illegal activities, or is heavily pornographic in nature (yes, that means you can't link to me from xxx-sex-with-plucked-fowl-xxx.com). You do not need to notify me that you have linked to my site (although it is a nice gesture); you'll show up in my referrer stats soon enough.
Direct linking to images and non-public files is not allowed and will not work anyway, so don't even try it.
Educators: please e-mail me before linking to my site. As a general rule, I don't appreciate having hordes of innocent schoolchildren directed to my site, and I appreciate even less the angry e-mails from their parents accusing me of corrupting their precious little babies. Please contact me before linking to any part of my site; hopefully I will be able to either help you find what you seek elsewhere on the Web, or arrange the needed info so that your students won't see more of my site than they have to.

This information is kept strictly private; I only use it to get a general sense of who and where my visitors are and how I can make the site better for them. I also use it to block and report spammers and cyberstalkers. None of this information will ever be shared with a third party (unless you're spamming or stalking me, in which case all bets are off). I will never give up this information. Not even if I'm kidnapped and taken into a little windowless room and interrogated for hours and beaten with extension cords and then dressed like a giant acorn and thrown to the ravenous squirrels. I am a rock. I will not break.
Everything on this site is, unless otherwise noted, copyrighted to me (Romy). Exceptions are noted on the Acknowledgments page and/or where they occur.

From Friday September 12th through Sunday September 14th (Friday 2-11pm, Saturday 12-11pm, Sunday 12- 7pm), join international artists from Italy, Russia, Japan, China, Sweden, UK, Switzerland, Ireland, Germany, Nepal, Spain and others alongside thousands of art, music, and tattoo lovers as World Famous Tattoo Lou's Presents the United Ink Flight 914 Tattoo, Art and Music Festival at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, Charles Lindbergh Blvd, Garden City, NY.
Browse through 150 booths and meet 250 of the world's best tattoo artists. This is an invitation only event for artists and shops, no wannabe's here. Tattoo Lou and Jackie Rubino have personally traveled the world to find the cream of the crop to bring back to Long Island for this incredible event.
Tattoos have become more than a passing fad over the past decade; gone are the days of the "bikers have tattoos" mentality, replaced by those who look at tattoos and the tattoo culture as a way of life. Now, everyone from corporate lawyers to working moms proudly display their ink and are excited to offer up their body as a canvas for some of the world's best artists in any medium.
Some of the confirmed artists include Master Mike, Myke Chambers, Cris Gherman, Jose Perez, Zhang Po from China and direct from Japan Traditional Japanese Tebori tattoo artist (original hand poke style of tattooing). So many cultures collaborating together to present a collective of some of the many different styles in the ever changing and growing art of tattooing! Plus, Shanghai Kate, called "the godmother of tattooing" will be there as well. Come see the worlds art!
You see, no longer do artists have to wait until long after they are gone to become rich and famous, they can simply become tattoo artists - many painters and the like have done so in the new millennium with spectacular results for both the artists and their subjects. This is a perfect opportunity to see this magic happen, in person.
Completely open to the public and to all ages, and with a wide variety of things to do for all, it's the perfect day for the whole family. With music from artists like All Music's Rock N Roll University All Stars and The Royal Guard, games, contests, tattooing demonstrations, tattoo movie showings and a screening of Troma Films "Escape from Nukem High" (featuring most of the cast members of the movie in person) in the IMAX theater, temporary tattoos for the kids in the awesome kids area, art exhibits and more, United Ink is unlike any other tattoo convention you've ever seen before! All outdoor entertainment is FREE.

Kalinga drifts out of the Mauryan rules under the first Chedi King Mahameghavahan in the early port of the 1st Century BC .
The third Chedi king Kharavela comes to power, and conducts extensive military campaigns. The greatness of his power is felt from the eastern coast to western coast of India and from Mathura in the North to the Pandya kingdom in the south. Jainism flourishes under him.
Early in the 2nd Century AD Kalinga is occupied by the Sata bahana King Goutamiputra Satakami from the west (Nasik), and continues to remain under the Satabahanas probablu upto the rule of Yajansri Satakami, (AD 174-202).
3rd century AD
After the death of .Yajansri Satakami (202 AD), the history of Kalinga sinks into obsecurity. Some minor dynasties like the Kusanas of North India. The foreign Indo- scythian Murundas, and thereafter the Nagas are believed to have ruled in the land until the time of SamudraGuptas south India campaign.
Samudragupta of Magadha sets out on his campaign of the south and conquers parts of Kalinga. The claims of Samudragupta regarding his South Indian conquests are subject to doubt.Brahminism starts reasserting itself.
Soon after the invasion of Samudragupta to new ruling power called Marathas raises its hand (from modern Parlakhemundi) and continues to rule over Kalinga till 498 AD. Kalinga under the Marathas enjoys a prosperous economic life because of her flourishing trade and commerce. Brahminism consolidates.

WA Governor Inslee Declares Moratorium on Death Penalty
Governor Inslee's action in issuing a moratorium on the death penalty was a necessary step toward "equal justice under the law" which we agree should be the state's primary responsibility. We thank the Governor for his leadership and courage with this action which has increased conversation on this important issue. We look forward to working with the Legislature to bring a bill to the Governor's desk to fully repeal the death penalty in Washington State.
—statement from PJALS and Inland NW Death Penalty Abolition Group
A Time for Celebration!
by Shar Lichty
On Tuesday, Feb. 11th as the news of Governor Inslee's moratorium on the death penalty reached me, I found my eyes welling up with tears of joy. While I knew there was a possibility this historical moment would come, I was completely unprepared for the announcement and the emotions it would evoke on that morning. Somewhat overwhelmed with joy, relief, and hope I scrambled to spread the good news to the amazing folks I am honored to work with on this issue, the members of the Inland NW Death Penalty Abolition Group (INDPAG). INDPAG is an affinity group of PJALS which was formed 30 years ago by Rusty & Nancy Nelson. Read more »

Freedom to Marry: Victory!!!
by Shar Lichty
We made history on Nov. 6th, becoming the first state to defend the freedom to marry at the ballot by 53.32% to 46.68%. We were an important part of a historical night for LGBT rights and recognition nationally.
None of this would have been possible without a campaign dedicated to organizing in Eastern Washington. We had significant gains in Eastern WA support from R71 to R74 with the three largest gains being: Garfield County, 5.89% increase; Whitman County, 5.14% increase; and Spokane County, 4.48% increase. The City of Spokane also saw a significant 4.37% increase with the larger gains coming from the more conservative districts: District 1, 3.09% increase and District 3, 6.37% increase.
Spokane played another key role in Approving R74 with 16 faith leaders publicly endorsing the freedom to marry. Read more »

Hi everyone,
I built this computer 5 or so years ago, and wanted to upgrade the CPU. It's a C2D system with GA-G31M-ES2L motherboard. The original CPU was a E1400, and I am upgrading to a E8400. Before starting the upgrade, the system worked perfectly fine. I bought a used E8400 on eBay, and installed it. Now when I press the power button the system doesn't post, but all the fans turn on. The case power light turns on, and stays solid, but the HDD activity light does not even turn on at all.
Is it possible that I need to flash the bios of the board, is there anything else that I could have done wrong, or did the guy on eBay ship me a busted CPU.

From machete to machine in Brazil's cane fields
By James Matthews
PIRACICABA, Brazil (Reuters) - For nearly five centuries, the classic image of sugar production in Brazil has been one of workers setting cane fields on fire and then descending on the crop with their machetes for harvest.
No longer.
More than half of the cane in Brazil's main sugar-producing area of Sao Paulo state was harvested using machines during the 2009/10 season, a historic first that portends greater efficiency in coming years. The shift is occurring so quickly that some producers face a four-month waiting list to get the right equipment.
The transition, driven by both increased competition and tougher Brazilian environmental laws, has been a boon for multinational equipment manufacturers supplying the world's leading producer of sugar and the second largest ethanol producer after the United States.
"Brazil's market is hot," said Jose Emilio dos Santos, manager of Tratorag Comercio e Representacao, a John Deere dealer based in Piracicaba, the heart of the center-south's cane growing region in Sao Paulo state. "Many producers are looking to buy a new machine harvester."
Last year, Cosan, the world's largest sugar and ethanol producer, spent 30.5 million reais ($17.3 million) on mechanization and expects to train between 180 and 200 harvester operators per year for the next four years, said Luis Carlos Veguin, the company's human resources director.
Adoption of the technology by big firms has forced many smaller producers to follow suit. In the first six months of 2010, 3,186 harvesters of all types were sold in Brazil, up from 478 in the same period of 2006, according to figures from Anfavea, the vehicle manufacturer's association.
It's not just companies that are benefiting from the switch. Izaura Freitas Souza, 39, has wielded a machete in the sugar cane harvest since she was a 15 year old and once almost sliced off her big toe in the fields. Continued...

Hello people,
I am in a very unpleasant situation. My deadline is tomorrow and I have to start rendering my animation. But there is one big BUT. I've faced linking bug. When I link my animated cigarette (it's main bone) to the other cigarettes (I've created spot tracking and linked the cigarettes to the cigarettes pack)it starts messing around. Everything fails. The main cigarette keeps doing what I've key-framed before but it does it not on the same trajectory and disorderly like you can see on the screen-shot bellow:
It needs to be linked to that box and move together to the table where it would make this kind of movements:
Please, help me to solve this forsaken trouble.

For some time now, the local tech space has been buzzing with conversations around the hottest topics from e-commerce to mobile payments, following coverage from technology and mobile-focused blogs.
But there has been a missing link: a radio talk show that brings together all of these conversations and provides the growing community of tech enthusiasts a place to get their voice heard.
Enter TIGWeekly. A weekly radio show hosted by @johnobidi and @samsonaligba about tech and its practicable application in Nigeria, where a single topic is discussed by various guests and live questions are taken from listeners via Twitter on the hashtag #TIGWeekly.
By the way, TIGWeekly stands for Tech In General Weekly.
The service is not just a regular podcast, but also provides live streaming of its discussions on multiple platforms via PC including Windows Media Player, Real Player, Winamp and Quicktime as well as via mobile including Blackberry, Android, Nokia, iPhone, iPad and Android tablets.
I got a chance to listen in today and was impressed with the sound quality and programming quality, although there were some background noise experienced which, according to Samson Aligba, one of the TIGWeekly hosts, is as a result of the fact that they move around a lot and broadcast is done through Skype.
With no funding whatsoever, the operation is being bootstrapped which means they operate without a studio, thus, set-up anywhere as long as they are able to meet broadcast schedule.
However, TIGWeekly co-host, John Obidi owns FountCast, a company which offers broadcasting and live -streaming solutions across multiple platforms, so both of them have pulled resources together to provide this service.
While the online radio show is relatively new and doesn't air 24 hours yet, it does already show potentials as a great way for tech enthusiasts to listen in while at work or in traffic and participate in the conversations about technology products around them.

The search for two new school superintendents reached the final stage as both screening committees handed the job over to the board of education to complete the final step.
The six-member screening committees provided a list of finalists to the Paducah and McCracken County school boards during separate meetings Wednesday. Both searches are being overseen by Kentucky School Boards Association consultant Butch Canty. The county meeting ended past the Sun's production deadline and will be detailed in Friday's paper.
The city screening group gave the board three to five unranked finalists who will be interviewed. Names and the exact number of finalists were not disclosed publicly, according to Canty. He said the district chose not to publicize the information pending the notification of applicants and there is no timetable to provide additional information.
The board met with the elected screening committee on March 5 to outline desired qualifications. The council - composed of school and district officials as well as parents and community members - were tasked with paper screening and checking references at subsequent closed meetings.
The committee included Janice Howard, school board; Art Davis, Paducah Tilghman principal; Jonathan Smith and Alan Tucker, certified teachers at Paducah Tilghman; Lakilia Bedeau, classified staff member, and Chris Black, parent representative.
Davis, the chairman, said the group met four times to analyze 28 applications. He said the process went smoothly and the city received a large number of high quality applicants.
The board will interview the finalists before the end of the month. Additional recommendations for candidates to interview, outside the screening council, can be made by board members, according to Canty. He said district will name a new superintendent by March 31.

Tebowmania was laid to rest for the 2011 season, courtesy of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
Brady tied a postseason record with six touchdown passes and the top-seeded Patriots humbled the visiting Denver Broncos 45-10 on Saturday night in the AFC divisional round.
New England (14-3) extended its winning streak to nine games and advanced to next weekend's AFC Championship Game. The Patriots will host the winner of Sunday's matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
The Patriots set a franchise playoff record for most points in a game behind the stellar play of Brady, who matched the record of six TD passes held by Oakland's Daryle Lamonica (1969) and San Francisco's Steve Young in Super Bowl XXIX.
Brady finished with 363 yards and threw a record five touchdown passes in the first half - three to tight end Rob Gronkowski - to carry New England to a 35-7 lead en route to its first postseason victory since beating San Diego in the AFC title game following the 2007 season.
Gronkowski, who set regular-season league records for most touchdowns (17) and yards (1,327) by a tight end, finished with 10 receptions for 145 yards.Brady and Patriots coach Bill Belichick also set a record with the 15th playoff win by a quarterback-coach tandem, eclipsing the mark held by Pittsburgh's Terry Bradshaw and Chuck Noll.
It was an ugly ending to the season for Tebow, who threw for 136 yards on 9-of-26 passing, was sacked five times and had as many completions in the first half as Gronkowski had touchdowns.
Tebow has been among the biggest storylines - and lightning rod for criticism - this season after moving into a starting role in Week 7 and guiding the Broncos to seven wins in his first eight starts - several in dramatic fashion.
But the gulf between the second-year quarterback and two-time MVP Brady was painfully obviously in a rematch of New England's 41-23 victory at Denver last month.
Brady tossed a pair of first-quarter touchdown passes for a 14-0 lead, but he also threw an interception that led to a 5-yard touchdown run by Willis McGahee on the first play of the second quarter.
From then on it was all Patriots. Brady threw his second scoring pass to Gronkowski midway through the second quarter before hitting Deion Branch on a 61-yard soring strike with 1:57 left in the half.
New England got the ball back one more time and Brady moved the team 58 yards in five plays, capped by a 19-yard pass to Gronkowski with five seconds left in the half.
Brady threw for 246 yards in the first half while Tebow was limited to 28 yards on 3-for-10 passing.

Who wrote this piece? The Pilgrims were not fleeing religious persecution in England. They had already fled religious persecution and were enjoying religious freedom in HOLLAND. Factors other than religion drove them to seek a new life in the Americas, namely cultural differences with the Dutch.

You've hit on the very problem bedevilling western civilisation.
For some reason starting with the post war generation of the 60s a large proportion of the population became possessed of the conceit that, based on nothing more than their own beliefs and regardless of how naive and unproven those beliefs are, it was their moral duty to try to shove those beliefs down everybody else's throat.
This has led to a sickening erosion of democracy as more and more unrepresentative and unaccountable lobby groups try to intimidate the parliaments and society itself.
HAC and her kind are just a manifestation of the same idiocy.

|More information:
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher. Someone older who understood you when you were young and searching, who helped you see the world as a more profound place, and gave you advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of your mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Tuesdays With Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift to the world. --From the publisher.

On-Demand Audio: Pianist Vicky Chow and Percussionist Owen Weaver
Pianist (and Bang on a Can All-Star) Vicky Chow joins percussionist Owen Weaver for the New York premiere of John Luther Adams's expansive Four Thousand Holes, recorded live at (Le) Poisson Rouge on April 22. The duo also performs Christopher Cerrone's Memory Palace for percussion and electronics and Hoyt-Schermerhorn for piano and electronics.
Both Luther Adams and Cerrone were in attendance.
Originally written for pianist Stephen Drury and the Callithumpian Consort of New England Conservatory, with Adams himself controlling ambient electronics, Four Thousand Holes is an epic, cloudy work that recalls the chilled, vast landscape of Alaska, where the composer has lived for the last 30 years.
A member of composer collectives Sleeping Giant and Red Light New Music, Christopher Cerrone's recent commissions include works for the Brooklyn Philharmonic and Color Field Ensemble. Last week, the Los Angeles Philharmonic presented the West Coast premiere of Cerrone's Invisible Overture as part of its Brooklyn Festival.
Cerrone's works Memory Palace and Hoyt-Schermerhorn are available for on-demand streaming above.

Trouble loading Tune to SVT
Whenever i load a new tune on the SVT it fails half way through, then it says you must reload the stock tune, which also fails a couple times. Finally i get back to stock and it will now allow me to load the custom tune. Any ideas?
I've been having the same issue with mine for the past few months, but I can't get custom tunes on at all, or perhaps I'm not trying enough times. I haven't gotten around to calling SCT yet. I have an SCT SF3 tuner, and the most recent firmware. (It worked before on a previous FW version, of course.) Not sure if this is related or not, but I'm also unable to download the most recent Tune Revision to the tuner via the automatic updater. I'll post a solution if I ever get it figured out.
bump, cant even return to stock now...car wont start
Did you try pulling fuses 46 and 61 under the dash , load the tune and replace them
just emailed you back...no luck.. also tried #20 fuse as other have reccomended on here. Also tried disconnecting battery for 20 minutes.
Had this same problem yesterday when I was loading my tune. Failed twice while loading the tune and once while returning to stock. Finally got it on the third try though.
This worked for me, give it a shot:
Also try leaving the key on so when it says to turn on the key you quickly turn it off then on
SCT has no advice...told me to keep trying. I have tried at least 50 times

|Location: 50 km northwest of Nelson, British Columbia.
Ownership: 100% of the Sandon Mining Complex and related properties.
Minerals: Silver, with associated lead and zinc.
Overview: The Slocan Mining District has produced more than 24 million ounces of silver since the first discoveries in the late 1800s transformed this scenic wilderness into the silver-mining center of Western Canada. Klondike Silver is the dominant land-holder of the camp. Along with the 100-tonne-per-day permitted flotation mill in historic Sandon, the Company owns the past-producing Silvana, Wonderful and Hinckley Mines, seven other dormant mines and extensive exploration properties. This land package has seen little modern exploration because of the previous fragmented ownership of the claims and the presence of overburden.
Next Steps: Future exploration programs will use advanced geophysical, geochemical and other modern exploration techniques to explore for extensions of known near-surface veins and new vein-hosted targets obscured by overburden.

ERIKA AND TITO'S WEDDINGNovember, 2009 in Fort Bragg
"Our wedding was beautiful! All of the hard work on details came together and it was truly our version of a fairytale.
Although my husband and I reside in the triad area, our families live in the Fayetteville/Ft. Bragg area. We thought it would be more convenient and affordable to have our wedding on post.
We had the wedding the last week of November. Of course it was not warm, but the Christmas decorations at both the church and the reception was a good swap for the weather.
Wedding Mapper was helpful in reviewing local bakers who work from home, which was my goal when choosing my cake."

Marci MangHope Mills , NC 28348
"Marci was a pleasure to work with! I priced cakes from bakeries in the area and her cakes were above and beyond for the price when comparing presentation, delivery options, price per slice, attention to detail, and most importantly TASTE! She is a family oriented army wife, who treats you as her own. I would recommend her for anyone who is looking for a beautiful and tasty cake in the Fayetteville/Hope Mills area."
McKellar's LodgeArmistead St & Totten St
Fort Bragg, NC 28307
"McKellar's lodge was an excellent choice to hold a reception. The lodge can be rented on Saturday or Sunday (but no weddings are conducted on Ft. Bragg on Sunday). You have the venue for 4 hours, which is the average time you will get at any reception site. If you choose to use their caterer - buffet style- and order more than $700 worth of food, you do not have to pay the $700 fee to rent the room. The chairs also give it a rustic feel."
Always Flowers by Crenshaw107 Westwood Shopping Center
Fayetteville, NC, United States
"The flowers were beautiful but pricey. There was miscommunication as to how many bows were supposed to be at the church. The business did not want to refund me for the mix-up and charged me anyway, offering me a credit. My bouquet and centerpiece at my bridal party's table was beautiful. I was not that impressed by the cake-topper. It was a bit plain, but it served its purpose."
Ceremony128 Sedgewick St
Fort Bragg, NC
"We were married at Main Post Chapel. The church speaks for itself. We were married right before Christmas, so the church was decorated for Christmas, and it was simply beautiful. We were alloted 1 hour for our rehearal the day before the wedding. We were alloted 2 hours for the ceremony and picture taking. We did not have a wedding planner, only detail-oriented grandmother :), and you have to make things flow like clock-work in order to have enough time to actually "get married" and then take all of the photo combos you would like to have. The church was really pretty, although I was disappointed with the red tape my we had to go through to actually get the church for that day, for our time slot. It really was a stressful big hassle."

Indigenous knowledge and effective parent–school partnerships : issues and insights
McLaughlin, Juliana M., Whatman, Susan, Ross, Ruth, & Katona, Mai (2012) Indigenous knowledge and effective parent–school partnerships : issues and insights. In Phillips, Jean & Lampert, Jo (Eds.)

Towards the last decade of the last millennium, Indigenous knowledge was central to international scholarly debates relating to decolonising knowledge. Indigenous scholars, particularly those from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States, advanced many of these debates. They argued for Indigenous knowledge to be used as the epistemological standpoint for intellectual engagements and the methodology for resisting colonial constructions of the colonised other (Rigney 1997; Smith 1999, 2005). However, the challenge of engaging Indigenous knowledge to inform research and educational processes, in many respects, is still a contested debate in Western-oriented universities and institutions of higher education.
This chapter discusses findings of the Parent–School Partnership Initiative (hereafter referred to as PSPI) project conducted by the Oodgeroo Unit staff and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Focus Group for the Caboolture Shire, in South East Queensland. The state government sponsored initiative examined factors that promote and enhance parent–school engagement with students' schooling, and contributed to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students' learning and completion of secondary schooling within the participating schools. We argue in this chapter for the importance of recognising Indigenous knowledge and its place in enhancing parent–school partnerships.
