Taxonomy: Inquiry, communication, construction, & expression
Bertram C. Bruce
James A. Levin
The taxonomy of uses of educational technologies is a learner-centered framework for analyzing or systematically developing powerful environments for learning. Rather than focusing on technology or media characteristics per se, it emphasizes the purposes of the learner. It can thus help us determine the most appropriate technologies for learning, given the educational goals and the available educational resources.

Well, here it is....all the people out there who have been following my little engine ordeal, I finally got to see it running and revving although due to a small snafu it's not on the road yet (the stupidest thing in the world, when you hear this you'll wanna smack me). I got the OK from Rich at Precision Tuning to come down to Brick this weekend, unbeknownst to both of us that there was going to be a small parts problem. I showed up at about 6:30 on Saturday night and pulled into the parking lot to see Rich at his workbench custom fabbing some tools to get all the oil fittings right, my car in the parking lot looking for the most part 100% put back together. After a bit of chatting, fidgetting at the banjo bolts he was struggling with, and hooking up the battery charger my car came to life for the first time since July 5th. With the UTEC not turned on, it idled a bit rough for a while but eventually the computer started to come around and learn how to work with the different cams/heads. After a bit more fiddling and a good amount of coolant burping, the car was pretty much running with the slight exception of a few little pieces and parts that needed to get cinched back up and a slightly high idle (probably a little tension in the throttle cable that needed to get loosened out). Everything sounded wonderful, and the common "slapping/knocking/clanking" I've been warned about with a built engine were not there. Sure there was a tiny amount of knocking initially, but once it warmed up the car just sounded beautiful, like stock to the untrained ear (me...I had to listen very carefully to even tell the difference).
For those of you that weren't around when my first shortblock gave out, I'll give you a brief synopsis of what happened. Running the car really hard on July 5th, I had what has now been pinpointed as a critical oil failure, causing my car to run dry for a few seconds. At the high RPM and load I was at (erm...redline in 5th ) the engine didn't last very long, as is evidence by the huge splinters of metal located on my old crankshaft where the bearings evaporated. The rods took a ton of abuse during this time and my number 3 rod is bent totally out of round where it attaches to the crank. After disassembling the engine, Rich also noticed that there were slight cracks around my spark plug hole in my heads, and that the headgasket was probably on its way out due to some residue around the sealing surface. This is probably more a result of slightly lean conditions and age. To remedy the situation, I decided to rebuild the block and go with a set of JDM v7 STi heads, replacing my Prodrive ECU with a stock ecu/UTEC combo. The block was sent out to Rich's machine guy along with all the internals, and after getting it back it was all carefully put back together, with exceptional clearances and refinement. The final assembly was done with:
JE Forged pistons
Eagle connecting rod
Balanced/polished stock USDM WRX crankshaft
Machined EJ205 open-deck block
ARP Head bolts
JDM v7 STi heads
Everything went together very well according to Rich, and the way the car runs and revs, it is evident that this will be a very very happy little motor. The engine just flys through the RPM when you give a tug on the throttle, evidence that everything is matched to the same size/weight and there is very little imperfection in it.
The reason I don't have my car back yet is stupid, and looking back I realize that more information was needed on my part before I sent the heads to Rich to get installed. On the JDM STi, there is a slight variation in the intake cam gear, and that variation doesn't allow the stock WRX timing belt cover to fit on the engine, so without that cover I couldn't take the car out on the road. It'll be 100% ready to go once that cover is on and the car can be driven around, but until then it was decided it's too huge a risk to drive the car now that we've come this far in getting everything prepped. No HP or TQ numbers yet, but hopefully within the next 3 months I'll be on a dyno to get this puppy tuned. My full setup is listed in my mods on my profile if anyone has any questions about what I'm running.
I'm very excited to get this thing out on the roads and see what the v7 heads do for me, it's a very promising engine and just by sound and feel alone I can tell that it's going to be an infinitely stronger car now.
Here's a few pics of it in "Precision Tuning Blue," the calling card of the master himself, Rich Ellis

Need urgent help, please!
I don't even know where to start, I'm so devastated and need help desperately! We brought home our 7 month old male in January and things were progressing very well until about 2 months ago when he started acting very aggressively towards strangers. By aggressively I mean full out lunging, showing teeth, foaming at the mouth, barking nonstop. I could not redirect him no matter how hard I tried. I took him to a trainer who works with GSD's, he bit the trainer, the trainer recommended shock collar training. All other trainers said in no way to use shock training on him. I then contacted and started working with a behavioral modification specialist. She gave us very specific training to work with him on reconditioning. Then he got out of the house a few weeks ago (my fault, I know, I'm still sick about it!) and attacked a jogger, bit him, drew blood, it was horrible! His aggression continued to escalate. Last week we took him to another trainer 3 1/2 hours away to board for 4 weeks (he has worked with GSD's for 40 years, trains for SAR, has worked and been successful with aggressive dogs) we felt this was our best shot at reconditioning him. We received a phone call 2 days ago that completely broke my heart. His recommendation is that if he were to come back into our home (we have 2 young kids), something horrible could and would happen. He feels that there is nothing we can do to change him, that he wired for high prey drive and cannot be in a home with more than one person. He had another GSD trainer he works with assess him and she came to the same conclusion. He is very high drive and extremely aggressive. He said he cannot and will not work with him. I contacted the breeder and she said she can't take him back, she has too many puppies. I don't know what to do! If I can't find a home for him, he will have to be PTS. The trainer said he could potentially work well in a military setting or with one person that is very experienced in high drive, working GSD's. How do i find such a person?
Sorry this is so long. I love this dog so much. He is so sweet with me, just a goofy lovable boy. I am also angry. I was very specific that I wanted a low drive family companion. This is not what I got. Please help! I can't imagine having to put down this baby but I don't know what to do!

Dear Nevada Democrat,
Welcome to a historic day in Nevada! All across the Silver State, Nevadans are gathering for these exciting caucuses. By caucusing today, you are taking the first step toward electing a Democrat to the White House! We can all be proud that Nevada was chosen as an early caucus state because of the ethnic, geographic, and socio-economic diversity that makes us strong, and we are honored to be the first test of presidential candidates in the West.
As we gather on this particular weekend, we must also remember and honor one of our greatest American leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In the truest spirit of Dr. King's legacy, we are all here to make a difference, and there are many ways that you can contribute to the Nevada State Democratic Party to ensure a positive change.
First of all, remember that we are building a movement here-a strong and sustainable statewide organization that will deliver Nevada to our presidential nominee in the fall, pick up congressional seats, take control of the state Senate, build a stronger majority in the state Assembly, and be well-organized and positioned for races in 2010 and beyond. You have all come here for various reasons today, but your continued involvement in the Democratic Party at the precinct-level will help turn and keep Nevada Blue!
Today, please ensure that we have your correct contact information-including e-mail-so that we can keep you up to date about the many organizing events and volunteer opportunities that will keep us all engaged between now and Election Day on November 4th. I cannot urge you strongly enough to keep working in your precincts and talking to your neighbors to build the capacity we will need to turn out in force on Election Day. You should also take a moment to fill out the NSDP activist survey, which will help the party better serve your. needs by identifying your special talents, skills, and prioritles.
It's clear that we have a busy and exciting time ahead of us. For the first time in 15 years, Democrats have a voter registration edge in Nevada, and we need your support to ensure this state votes for our Democratic nominee in 2008! Please make a financial contribution to the Nevada Democratic Party. A donation of $5, $10, $20, or whatever you can contribute helps put us closer to electing a Democrat to the White House.
Thank you for attending your precinct caucus today, and for making history in Nevada. Together, we will turn Nevada Blue!
Best Wishes,
Jill Derby
Chair, Nevada State Democratic Party

Almost three months ago I wrote this letter (below, updated with links) to the ABC's manager of News and Current Affairs in Tasmania (Mr Andrew Fisher).
Three months is usually enough time to receive a reply, even to inform of disinterest. However, I have not yet received any reply from Mr Fisher about issues. An issue that involves the ABC.
Let me explain.
Key statements have been made on ABC radio by experts that I can't find a shred of evidence to back up.
My interest in this matter arose when Professor Chris Johnson from the University of Tasmania assured the listening public of the overwhelming evidence for fox populations (such as the recovery of fox bodies and road kills) on the ABC (TT HERE). This refuted Dr David Obendorf's position when interviewed separately on the same programme a few days before. (TT HERE). I maintained, and still do, that the ABC should assist in defending and testing the quality of information by organising an open debate. No detailed discussion or analysis was presented on where exactly the disagreement lay or what details were disputed. The listeners were left to speculate as they still are.
At least Dr Obendorf has taken the time to list his points of disagreement (TT HERE) (All David Obendorf, HERE). No other scientist has so far had the mettle to address them or to take up Dr Obendorf's offer to make themselves available for a debate. I can see merit in many of Dr Obendorf's claims and I know I am not alone. These points need to be openly tested.
Again on the ABC, a colleague of Prof Johnston's (at the same university department) repeated the same claims together with an additional one. It is now claimed that fox road kills have appeared in Tasmania due to a decrease in Tasmanian devil numbers. I can't find a shred of evidence to support this particular claim made on the ABC's Science Show no less (TT HERE)
What's even more interesting is the recent claim that both experts have a conflict of interest. Because, if you are receiving or seeking funds on the basis that foxes do exist in Tasmania, it would seem that you have a vested interest to maintain that the evidence is overwhelming. Is this a conflict of interest? Well, I don't know and the ABC has not bothered to ask. Again, it is a very valid question. It's no crime for academics to seek public funds of course, but if the claims they make publicly to support their work are wrong, then you would think they should be corrected toot sweat. Otherwise, what are we to think?
Other statements litter the web such as "Devils prey on fox cubs and compete with adult foxes for food (HERE), that is attributed to Prof Johnston. Again, when I looked for the evidence to back these claims all I could find was speculation made by Tim Flannery many years ago. It now seems to have become solid gold fact despite no evidence. Yes, Tim Flannery. You know, climate change and Australian of the year Tim Flannery. Defender of scientific accuracy Tim Flannery. Sure, this might be true, but there is not a shred of evidence to support it as a fact as far as I can see. No one has actually observed it - ever. Perhaps the ABC needs to ask Tim Flannery?
So, what I am interpreting from Mr Fisher's silence is that he is disinterested in the ABC being a platform for a debate between scientists with conflicting views. More disturbing however is seemingly a lack of willingness to correct misleading and inaccurate information that the ABC has been responsible for disseminating.
Are these statements true or not Mr Fisher? Does it matter at all to the ABC?
After all, we heard them on our ABC and would like to know!
Alexander Thomas
My (unacknowledged) letter to Mr Fisher:
Mr Andrew Fisher
Tasmanian manager
News and Current Affairs
ABC Centre
Wednesday 14th September 2011
Dear Mr Fisher,
I write with the hope of convincing you to organise a debate on ABC radio between the scientists who have opposing views about the Tasmanian fox issue. This is in the public interest and not before time. Many of us just don't know where to go with the information currently on offer. It is important that we hear about the science.
Some six weeks back I listened to an interview with Professor Chris Johnson from the University of Tasmania on the ABC. He assured the listening public of the overwhelming evidence for fox populations (such as the recovery of fox bodies and road kills) for their presence. This refuted Dr David Obendorf's position when interviewed separately on the same programme a few days before.
No detailed discussion or analysis was presented of what this evidence was or was not or where the disagreement lay. The listeners were left to speculate.
Over two subsequent weeks, tired of the lack of certainty, I decided to look at the actual evidence in detail. Much of it surprised me. It was far from being conclusive in my opinion. Dr Obendorf listed some key issues and independently I could confirm that many were (at least) not refuted by key Tasmanian authorities. New findings and admissions that Dr Obendorf points to are indeed found in transcripts and cast a shadow over certainty.
I wrote to Professor Johnson and he very kindly responded on three occasions. However, this was conditional upon me not passing on his communications. This thwarted my attempts to resolve some of the outstanding issues in this matter more widely of course. This is frustrating as I was surprised firstly by the professor's candid admission that he had only recently arrived in Tasmania and was not able to discuss many matters in detail. Despite this, he had made absolute and unqualified statements about the overwhelming nature of the evidence. It soon became apparent that he not seen it his role to question any of it and any 'evidence' of foxes he would give the benefit of the doubt to. I find this quite unscientific as I mentioned to him as much of the evidence has been provided anonymously or in strange circumstances that are worth knowing about.
Again, without a discussion of the merits of the evidence, a college of Prof Johnston's (at the same university) repeated these certain claims on ABC radio weeks ago with the additional claims that the fox road kills have appeared due to a decrease in Tasmanian devil numbers. This is almost funny when you find out that the only one that might be a road kill was claimed to be run over in the middle of the Burnie urban area, two were claimed to be shot and the one turned up in highly contentious circumstances that are almost certainly fraudulent. When you are in possession of the conflicting 'facts'; the fox bodies seem unbelievable given a range of factors. They follow two cases of hoaxing that are not disputed. (Claims were made on the ABC's Science Show (HERE)
I can't find a shred of evidence for other statements attributed to Professor Johnston where "Devils prey on fox cubs and compete with adult foxes for food (HERE). Nothing at all apart from it being speculation made by Tim Flannery many years ago that seems now to be a solid gold fact despite no evidence.
I note that the claim has been made that both university staff who have made these statements are involved in research funding and applications for projects that depend upon the presence of foxes in the Tasmanian environment for their relevance. This is not an accusation of vested interest, but a reason why it is necessary for the evidence to be beyond question and the questions asked. Recipients of public funds must be willing to defend their statements at the very least on publicly funded radio especially if they have a material interest. If they are not, then the ABC can justly be accused as being an easy platform for spruiking funding applications. I have not heard of one journalist picking up on the total absence of evidence concerning devils eating foxes or fox road kills appearing in Tasmania. It is simply untrue as far as I can tell. If it is, I would think it somewhat of a scandal that experts could get it so wrong.
Dr Obendorf says he is keen to debate the issues however Professor Johnson has so far been unwilling to commit to debating Dr Obendorf, on the merit of the evidence he says is overwhelming. I find this incomprehensible. Given his willingness to make clear and absolute statements that refuted Dr Obendorf on radio a few days (now months) before. I hope this is not connected to the Eureka awards where the Tasmanian devil and Tasmanian fox issue got a good run in the press and UTAS had associations with the award given for vaccine research on the mainland. While he has suggested that writing something down might help, I disagree. The problem is that so much of what has been written down that does not stand up to much scrutiny and the people who make unilateral claims to the contrary should surely be willing to back them with proof and when they are contested?
A debate between two scientists that deal with the issues would move this issue on and not rehash, review and restate the very things that are questioned. Putting the two parties on the spot to put their case where they could place counterpoints is the only way to allow people to determine what position has voracity.
It is not disputed that two foxes arrived in Tasmania - both in containers apparently. It is also not disputed that foxes would be a tragedy if established in Tasmania. No, the question is the quality of the evidence for them being here and established as well as the truth of statements made by experts. I suspect that there is a problem here and the ABC could assist very much in defending the quality of information by organising what would be a much discussed debate.
Your sincerely,
Mr Alexander Thomas
I attach my correspondence to Prof Johnson without his replies as he requested

That's right, everybody who reads "Let's Anime" is a winner. But in a different, more correct sense, only the people who sent in Prince Planet fan art are the REAL winners here. If only all of the conflicts afflicting mankind could be solved with Prince Planet fan art! The world would certainly be a more surreal place.
At any rate, here are the champions of the Great Prince Planet Fan Art Contest Of 2009, Sponsored by Let's Anime and MGM Digital Media in association with Hulu and YouTube! All Rights Reserved!!
Our first entry was by Guy, who won us over with his energetic heavy metal portrayal of Prince Planet.
When he's not drawing Prince Planet, Guy writes about anime at the Guy Hates You blog!
Next past the goalpost was Dylan, AKA "Ninjatron", with this great sepiatone depiction of Bobby and Diana.
Dylan is the man behind the Astro Boy World blog, your one stop shop for all your Astro Boy news.
Salvatore M. of Philadelphia PA came through with a peppy B&W illustration!
Meanwhile Larry C, who writes a great obscure world television blog, worked up this slick color piece that I like very much!
And not to be outdone, Sarah M. brings her "A" game with this swell watercolor illo!
I know the cut off was five entries, but I got this drawing from Emma which has the only Warlock representation here, so I'm going to share it with everybody even though I am clearly violating my own rules.
Thanks to everybody who participated and you will all be getting Prince Planet T-shirts in the mail at some point in the near future. I'm being vague about the time frame because I have to go out and buy envelopes and do all that stuff, it's not like I can just have the Let's Anime Mail Room guys do this, because they're really busy. Also because they don't exist.
All artwork is (c) its original creators. Prince Planet is (c) MGM. No rights are given or implied without express consent of Major League Baseball.
Next time at Let's Anime; something completely unrelated to Prince Planet in any way, shape, or form!!

Prince Planet, of course, was first broadcast on American television in 1966. Dubbed by Copri International, this 52-episode television series was released by American International Pictures, the same outfit that provided us with gems like THE WILD ANGELS, DIE MONSTER DIE, RIOT ON THE SUNSET STRIP, BEACH PARTY, GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW, WILD IN THE STREETS, and much of Roger Corman's ouvre. AIP's Japan connection includes anime titles like ALAKAZAM THE GREAT, live-action hero shows like JOHNNY SOKKO AND HIS FLYING (or GIANT) ROBOT - which is also now available on Hulu! - and films involving big Japanese stars like Gamera and Godzilla. AIP was bought by Orion, which was in turn absorbed by MGM. So the question is, what influence did Prince Planet have on North American anime fandom?

In the years between 1966 and 1979, Prince Planet became a fixture in the minds of many of America's television generation kids. Of course the 1960s was a wild time for Japanese cartoons - the term "anime" had yet to be coined and instead the favored catchphrase was "terebi manga" - and instead of a constant barrage of magical schoolgirls and giant military robots, the nascent anime field was experimenting and finding its way with a wide variety of shows featuring a wide variety of characters. This is the era that gave us Astro Boy, Marine Boy, Gigantor, Eighth Man, Speed Racer, the Amazing Three, and other series less known in the United States like Cyborg 009, Cyborg Big X, Ken The Wolf Boy, Attack No. 1, Princess Knight, Skyers 5, Kamui the Ninja, Ninja Sasuke, Sally The Witch, Pirate Prince, Rainbow Soldier Robin - a bewildering variety of programs produced by an industry just finding its way. Usei Shonen Popi enbraced this "anything goes" aesthetic as a freewheeling adventure show willing to do anything. Robots, tiny aliens, gangsters, monsters, spaceships, death and destruction, frankly bizarre characters like Warlock and Krag, and a series-long story arc that might have been the first of its kind for any animated series anywhere all percolated in the minds of impressionable youngsters, and as these youngsters grew up and found out there was a thing called "Fandom", naturally the concept was applied to Prince Planet.

In the late 1980s, armed with a C/FO membership directory that listed fans by their interests, I set out to get in touch with everybody I could find who expressed any interest in Prince Planet. The result was a loose network of pen pals and tape traders. We swapped copies of Prince Planet episodes, wrote fan fiction and drew fan artwork and cartoons, and even published a few fanzines.

When I started the print Let's Anime, one of the earliest articles was a feature on Prince Planet. Throughout the 1990s I continued to get emails from people desperately looking for Prince Planet episodes. Although several unauthorized releases were being sold through grey-market channels, we continued to hope that MGM would one day legitimately make Prince Planet available to the general public. And now they have, so I suppose we can get back to where we were as children and simply enjoy the thing.
Which is what I intend to do, and I highly recommend you all spend a little time watching Prince Planet on Hulu and YouTube!

A blog about fashion, lifestyle, and libations.
Laura Ellner is a free-spirited 27-year old outcast, of sorts, and OnTheRacks is where she shares her love for shoes, booze, words and adventure.
Born and bred in Orange County, California, Laura spent most of her childhood / teen years as a high-level competitive gymnast, which helped her become the proud misfit she is today…simultaneously teaching her the important value of discipline and hard work.
"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" -Dr. Seuss
College brought Laura up North to San Francisco where she resided for 7 strange, wonderful, pivotal years. She began OnTheRacks in 2009 as a creative side project, while at the same time kicking off her full-time career in Digital Marketing.
Laura then decided it was time to give the other coast a go and moved to NYC to pursue her life-long dream to work in USA's "Fashion Capital" / take over the world. A romantic sentiment quickly disrupted by the realization that this wasn't the life she really wanted.
After establishing herself professionally and spending several years working for two well-established women's fashion brands in the Big Apple (focused on social media, digital marketing and PR, e-commerce, online merchandising, copywriting…the list goes on), she decided to throw caution to the wind, refocus her energy on what really inspired her (this blog included), and launch her own consulting practice.
Laura currently resides in Paris, where she's continuing on her journey toward self-discovery. A nomad of sorts, looking to embrace anything and everything that comes her way!
The New York Times, CNN.com, Glamour Magazine, Teen Vogue, Refinery29, and more.
In addition to regularly updating OnTheRacks with editorial content, focused on personal style, cocktails, beauty, travel, and more, Laura is also an experienced digital marketer and social media strategist. She has collaborated with a number of well-known fashion companies, and specializes in styling, social media strategy building, digital PR / product seeding, event planning, merchandising, and more.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has developed its own iBeacon hardware product according to an application for certification made with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC filing was made on July 4 and was first highlighted by wireless router company Securifi in a tweet on Friday, according to a report from TUAW.
Apple first introduced its iBeacon technology as part of iOS 7's SDK (software development kit) at last year's Worldwide Developers Conference. The micro-location technology uses the Bluetooth Low Energy communications standard to send notifications to mobile devices based on their proximity to a transmitter. Since the Bluetooth-based technology allows the system to more accurately pinpoint a user's location than GPS can, it is well-suited for indoor navigation purposes, as well as targeted marketing.
However, the hardware for the iBeacon technology has so far only been provided by third-party manufacturers. For example, shopping app company Shopkick uses Apple's iBeacon technology in small ShopBeacons that it has installed in Macy's (NYSE:M) stores and other retail locations. The devices provide a personalized, interactive shopping experience for customers by transmitting information to users' smartphones about nearby products or special offers based on their specific location.
Retailers aren't the only businesses that have adopted the iBeacon technology. As recently reported by TechCrunch, Major League Baseball has also adopted Apple's iBeacon technology and has already installed beacon systems in twenty-eight ballparks around the country. MLB uses the system as a check-in service for game attendees, as well as a way to deliver special offers and interactive features to fans.

Nicki Minaj Gives Drake A Lap Dance In 'Anaconda' Teaser Pics
Nicki Minaj's music video for 'Anaconda' drops on Wednesday and she released some steamy promo pics on Monday.
In them, she's giving friend and rapper, Drake, a lap dance.
Oh. My.

They ARE fitted, Drake. Very much so.

Cooler Master CM 690
Gamers on a budget don't want to be forced to sacrifice quality, and Cooler Master realizes this. Their latest case, the CM 690, can be found online for $70 and under and has enough features to please most everyone.
You can read Matt's full review here and discuss it here.
I don't really understand the objection to the port location on top of the case. With mine under my desk but beside me it makes the ports the most accessible of any I've used. I don't think you can fault a case for not exactly suiting your personal requirements.
The ultimate solution would be for case makers to give you a choice of where you mount the ports.
The part I don't like about pretty much all cases these days is the way the satndard two USB ports are so close together. A lot of memeory sticks and bluetooth dongles for instance won't fit next to each other.
Not Overwhelmed
Just received my CM 690 today. Bought it to replace a CM Centurion 531. Agree with reviewer that front and top feel cheap being plastic, especially since my CM 531 had an aluminum bezel front. But for a total cost of $50 after rebate not complaining too loudly. Surprisingly, case temp not much cooler than my CM 531 even with two SFF21E Scythe fans installed on top in addition to three fans that came with case. My first case with a bottom PSU. I find it harder to manage my cables with this case than with my CM 531, even with the CM 690s built-in cable holders. I was expecting more space between the MOBO holder and back side of case to route and hide my cables. Could barely close my rear case panel. Guess I need to rethink my cable management strategy not being used to a bottom PSU. Hard drive activity light is too faint, can barely see the red light, never mind it blinking. On/off button placement perfect for me. CM 531 held my optical drives and media card reader very firm, but with CM 690 they are too loose. Overall, it seems that this case is 3 steps forward and 2 steps backward. Will keep it for the looks, not for the performance.
Looks like a very nice case for the money.
It's a small thing over all so it didn't account for much weight in my final score, but it's a nuisance to some either way.
not too sure, but i think too much time on your hands
i really don't understand complaining about top mounting ports, basically you're whining about case diversity, that hasn't been geared specifically towards yourself. Cheap construction i can see a complaint, but not really @ the $50 CDN price point. I've only seen the case on display and messed around with it there, and not with a purchase, but nothing felt cheaper than it should be, moreover it seemed the opposite. it's less than 1/2 the price of the antec 900, allbeit minus the ginormous fan hump at the top. doesn't the 900 also have top mounted controls?
Space left over the MB
I was wondering how much space is left from the CPU-socket to the sidepanel..
I planned to place a scythe-mine cooler on top of the CPU which has a height of 15cm(5.91Inch). Now with a case-width of just 21cm this could get narrow especially with side-panel-coolers installed.. Also there is this MB-Backplate with the mesh-wire under the CPU-Socket..
Someone suggested I get this case with my new computer. I was a bit worried because all the reviews I've seen said the side panel was really hard to get off. But I had no problem at all, it slid off with hardly any effort. Maybe they've updated this part the the design?
Suits me nicely Mid-Range gaming case with lots of HDD space
Picked one up today for $135 AU (with viewing pane) with the Antec 900 going for $180 it was a tuff choice, but i'm not a hard core gamer looking to put two or three graphics cards in. What I was most interested in was enough room for all my hard drives and the sub AU $100 cases I looked at could only take 4 internal 3/5 inch bays and that's a tight fit. So without the need for a power gaming case this was really a good price for what I wanted. Also my current case is pretty cramped from the video card and TV-Tuner and this should help me space those out a bit more. If you're looking to do an SLI/Crossfire set up and a tv-card I'd say go for the Antec but this case is a good price point for the mid range gamer.
old, I know, but I just got me one of this for my computer...
probably the one I got is a revisited version or something (or the editor has weird hands) as I didn't have any problem to handle the side panel; 5 minutes to take out a panel?! was it soldered?
then, the front panel... what kind of strength did the editor use? mine was sturdy enough, easy to remove, easy to place back in... how can anyone break it? force it to open the way it is NOT designed to, I suppose
again, given that it's been a few YEARS since they wrote the review, mine could be a revision of the same piece

Met her online... She LOVES my dick! (Part 2)
I am sorry about the angle but, this is a real hidden cam video. I met this ***** online. Let's just say that she is "attached." After some back and forth online, she explained that she wasn't getting any sex at home. I asked her to meet me for some ***** eventually. This is the 10th or so time that I have fucked her. I had to cut up the video to not show our faces. She is great! Swallows! Loves anal! And cums all over my cock multiple times... Enjoy!

Yesterday after picking up a few items at Lowe's I removed my high noon hidden alley holster with my XD 9 service and laid it on the passenger seat.
This due to it is not that comfortable for driving. As it was near lunch time and my stomach was calling I went through a fast food drive thru. When I reached the window to pay the girl at the window ( 20s) reached out to take the money gasps and leaves About a minute later the manager comes to the window completes the order. He laughs and said the sight of the gun in a holster on the seat frighten "Cindy"
I never realized just the sigh of a gun in a holster even could upset someone.

I'm with Betty!
How does she react when she walks by a cop? Oh, that's OK I'll bet.
I saw this with a former neighbor. One day I was talking to him and mentioned that I had guns and he bristled. Later in the conversation I also mentioned that I was LE and he relaxed and said that my ownership of guns was now OK!! [Yes, he actually said that!]
So let's see, in a matter of a few minutes I went from being a "nut with guns" to a "good guy with guns"! What changed? I certainly didn't change in that time frame!
Oh yeah, this guy had at least a Masters in Social Work, was about 35 yo, had two young children (both born while he lived here), he is a psychologist working for the state. He had "zero personality", never even thanked another neighbor who was ~65 yo and voluntarily shoveled his driveway a number of times. We weren't sorry to see him move!
Those with granola for brains are just plain hopeless and not worth our time.
lots of people have never even seen one unless it had a uniform and a badge attached to it and it was in a policemans holster.
it's true.
"This due to it is not that comfortable for driving."
This is due to you not having the right holster or you not wearing it properly.

Heck, I've been surprised by a gun.
I was standing in line for some bike parts at Bob Barr Kawasaki in Madison, Wisconsin and I started to yammer with the guy next to me. We discussed the weather, girls and finally guns. For some reason, we discussed my SW 59 and the good luck I was having with, contrary to the bad press it was getting.
Suddenly, he says, "I'm having good luck with mine," and pushes back his coat to show a 59 in what appeared to be a "Three Persons" holster.
That took me by surprise.
Then he tags on, "Oh, I'm a cop--did I mention that?"
I'm with country85 on this one. I personally resent the idea that in my state or any other state it's formally required to carry concealed. That is the symptom of a society gone insane.
Concealment should be an option not something that's forced. If I want to walk around toting a 12 gauge shotgun on my back and a pair of Colt SAAs on my hips that should be my call and no one else's so long as I'm not doing it for any illicit purpose.
The problem isn't with the holster or anything like that, the problem here is that people have been conditioned by society to be afraid of an inanimate object which honestly cannot hurt them assuming it's properly constructed, even if it's got some mechanical problems a gun is very rarely a hazard to its user or any bystander.
I bet you $10 I could go right now and walk around the mall in Austin toting a golf club. I might get some funny looks but no one would panic. But they should panic. I might knock someone's teeth out with that golf club, or it might fly out of my hands and suddenly start braining people. A golf club is a horrible dangerous piece of death incarnate and I have no business with one.
That's what's wrong with our society, we've gotten the idea that there's something illegitimate, suspicious, or otherwise wrong about an individual choosing to assert their God given right and carry a personal arm. When I am king people will wag around their guns like they do their cell phones.
The problem?? Media induced ignorance!!!
Keep the shotgun handy!!
When I drive up north, I also set my piece in the front seat next to me also. It's more accessable and comfortable during a 4+ hour drive.
I did a drive-thru fast food joint at some point, ordered and realized by the look, they saw it next to me. There was no manager, just a wide eyed look by a teenager as he gave me my food.
I recently finished my masters degree. One day before class I had traffic court, and I got done with court just in time to make it to class; so, I went to class in uniform. The girl in front of me freaked about my gun and I was in uniform. I was very amused. I had sat behind her all semester long with a gun that she never saw. :)
Shooters' Legacy

That's amazing.
haha Oh No!... HELP!...That Police Officer is wearing a GUN!!
Somebody...Dial 911 ~ Call The Police!
Madam,...I AM the Police.
When I was working my way through college (University of Alabama) back in the late 1970's, I was an armed guard at a local hospital. I carried my own S&W M19 .357 magnum (4" bbl.) at first in a hip holster (strong side) and nobody minded but it was heavy and uncomfortable, so I got my bosses permission and switched to a SafariLand Shoulder Holster rig and the whole hospital went so nutz that I was transferred out to an asphalt plant. That was okay, it was far enough out in the woods that I coulkd hunt on company land when my shift was over. But the hospital folks didn't even want ME back with the old hip holster. Personally I think it was because I'd gotten a minor rep with the nurses......and the Docs were jealous.....
But while I was there, Coach Bear Bryant fell and broke his hip and he had replacement surgery. Some NUT called in a death threat and it was my pleasure to get pulled off regular duties to stand guard at his hospital door. He was a chain smoker and he was also on pure oxygen. He and the chief nurse used to have these DONNYBROOK fights about that, but the nurse always WON. Anyway, I got to guard a football legend. That was pretty cool.

Authorized by Congress via the Bullion Coin Act of 1985, the American classic, Gold American Eagle coin has been minted by the United States Mint since 1986.
A distinguishing feature of the Gold American Eagles is that they are minted in 22 karat (.9167 fine) gold, according to a standard established over 350 years ago. (Show more....) This makes the coins more durable and resistant to scratching and marring.
The obverse surface of the coin is inspired by one of America's most beautiful coins, the $20 gold piece that was minted from 1907-1933 and was designed by the renowned sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The reverse surface of the coin, designed by the sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings. In addition to this stirringly American imagery, the coin bears inscriptions of its weight, face value and year of mintage.
This 2017 Gold American Eagle Bundle allows you to own a set of this highly prestigious gold bullion in the 1 oz, 1⁄2 oz, 1⁄4 oz and 1⁄10 oz weights with the face values of USD $50, USD $25, USD $10 and USD $5 respectively. Each Gold American Eagle coin is individually encapsulated to preserve its direct from the Mint condition and is presented in an elegant leatherette box with a silk lined lid.
The weight, content and purity of Gold American Eagles are guaranteed by the Government of the United States of America. Show less

The Mint was placed under the Treasurer of the United States in 1981. Currently headquartered in Washington D.C., the Mint operates manufacturing facilities in Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco and West Point and a famed depository at Fort Knox.

Pakistan releases more Afghan Taliban members: official
By Katharine Houreld and Mehreen Zahra-Malik
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan has freed four Afghan Taliban prisoners, including a former justice minister, a Pakistani government official said on Monday, in the newest sign Islamabad is serious about backing peace efforts in Afghanistan.
Regional power Pakistan is seen as critical to the success of U.S. and Afghan efforts to bring stability to the country, a task gaining urgency as the end of the U.S. combat mission in 2014 draws closer.
Afghanistan has been pressing the strategic U.S. ally to free Taliban members who could help promote reconciliation.
The Taliban figures were close to the movement's reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, and could help the Kabul government promote peace, a senior Afghan official said.
"Their release will certainly have a positive impact on the mindsets of other senior Taliban, especially on field commanders who took orders from them for years," the official, who is close to reconciliation efforts, told Reuters.
Former Taliban Justice Minister Mullah Nooruddin Turabi, whom Afghan Taliban field commanders said was Mullah Omar's "right-hand man", was among those freed.
The others were a former governor, Mullah Abdul Bari, former deputy communications minister Mullah Allahdad and Mullah Azam, who served as one of Mullah Omar's security guards, a Pakistani foreign ministry official and military sources said.
A Taliban commander said eight prisoners had been released but did not identify them. It was not clear how long the prisoners had been held nor on what charges. Pakistan, which has long been accused of backing Afghan insurgent groups, has freed several mid-level Taliban members in recent weeks. Continued...

One circuit, two breakers?
I was trying to help a friend figure out an electrical dilemma. She has a circuit with lights and a few outlets on it, that is not de-energized by any one breaker in the panel, you must throw 2 breakers to de-energize the circuit. I imagine that, somewhere over time, someone crossed these circuits in an outlet or switch somewhere, but all of the outlets read 110v. Why might this be?
The panel has two legs of 120 volts in it. When you have a double pole breaker it draws power from both legs which get you 240 volts. The circuit is feed from two breakers that are on the same leg. Since they are on the same leg it will only be 120 vlots. You will need to start taking the outlets and switches apart and try to find where the circuit is feed from, both feeds.
I guees I don't completely understand the reply. I've installed double-pole breakers to bring 240v to a dryer before, and the breaker simply snaps into two places on one leg inside the panel, not both legs at one time, and each hot wire on the double pole breaker brings 120v to the outlet to equal 240v. This issue is with two separate, single pole breakers in two separate spots on the same leg inside the panel, that must both be switched off to de-energize the circuit. My experience has been that each circuit is controlled by one breaker (single or double) but that's not the case here.
This 120V circuit is INCORRECTLY wired if it is controlled by two breakers. What Ponch was saying is you will have to trace each wire as it leaves the panel to determine where the crossover was made.
Sound like someone miswired a junction box and fed the circuit from two power sources. Or, it was a multiwre circuit that was wired wrong when a receptacle was replaced. You may have to check each receptacle and light switch to make sure there is only one line wire coming in.
The two breakers are on the same phase and thus only deliver 120 volts. In theory, you could hook up 100 breakers on the same phase to the same outlet and it will only be 120 volts. Find out if she had any work done recently and start there. If was a recent "rehab" it'll take a bit of detective work. There will probably be some 'area of overlap' in the circuiting. That is to say, it picked up the extra feed from a nearby room or perhaps something above or below it. Good Luck!:)
Good news - turns out that this was due to both circuits wired to a double switch. Problem solved by wiring each to a single and separate switch. Yippee!
Thanks to stubbie for the info on double-pole breakers, I did not know that, now I do. I also see that my friend Yippee seems has solved her problem last night, so that's good. Thanks for all the replies.
Bill, how did you know Yippee was a girl? Do you have special powers?:huh:
I'm frequently easily confused. HH, I bet Honk misses ya. Why don't you go on over to the hot tub thread and say hey?
Aww shucks, HH. It's like a soap...Just jump in about five posts back and you'll be all caught up.
This is an older post but it is exactly the same problem that I'm having with my "OPEN CIRCUIT". Thanks to all who replied to Yippee because its given me a fresh outlook and maybe I can go at this from a different angle and fix mine as well. I knew I hadn't seen this type of configuration before and I agree with HH, this is not the norm nor is it the correct way to wire outlets. My outlets are not switch controlled so I either have a junction box with loose connections or an outlet that the wire has worked loose from back that feeds the now dead receptacles.

Is it my computer or what?
Now don't get me wrong, I am a 60 year old, red-blooded, Southern (by the Grace of God) RedNeck, and I will look at a pretty woman, even if she is nude. BUT, here lately whenever I log onto this DIY Chatroom I get a pop-up window wanting me to look at some type of sexually explicit website. NO, NO, I do not look into it. My heart may be weaker than I know about. I just close it out and continue on. Is this something to do with this DIY Chatroom website, my computer, or my websurfer thingy. Thanks, David
sounds to me like you have other problems. i do not believe they would allow ****site popups here.....
www.avast.com may help.....
I haven't had that problem.
Its your computer! If you use Firefox, you can down-load an add-on that will block pop-ups!
Internet Explorer 8 will also, but I don't use IE so cannot venture an opinion about this!
No problems here either
But i'd be willing to check out that site to help out :laughing:
it's most likely malware, and you need to remove it. get avast antivirus, and allow it to do a boot up scan. it should take care of it.
Opera blocks popups too, but blocking won't stop the spyware that's most likely present as well.
Thurman, got any teenagers in the house? Boomerang kids?
I have a Mac. No pop-ups at all. I don't know if this is inherent to Macs or there's some sort of pop-up blocker. My 15 year old daughter does all the tech stuff around here. WAY more computer literate than I am!
If you don't have virus protection I would get some, DangerMouse points to a company that provides a free version of their virus protection software. Additionally I would grab the ad-aware free version from lavasoft found http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php . Avast for virus protection, ad-aware for spyware/malware protection. Keep both up to date. I also suggest completing a full scan once a week with both avast and ad-aware
It sounds like you have spyware or malware rather then a virus. Are you running windows xp or later? If so I would also consider starting their firewall software unless the avast virus protection comes with a firewall.
We don't serve any pop ups on this site. There is probably some adware/spyware on your PC.
Women of easy virtue on the Internet? How could this happen, here in America?
63 Attachment(s)
I use the free version of Lavasoft Ad-aware. It does a pretty good job of removing adware from your computer.
It's called "Live Sex-Hot Sex", and it's done it again. A tab opens on the bottom of the screen and then I close it. I use "Webroot SpySweeper/Antivirus" and have done two manual sweeps to find this. It has found it both times, it has put in in quarantine both times, and I have deleted it both times. I have checked my cookies for it but could not find it, not under that name anyway. Let's hope it doesen't come back. No kids at home, this is on my laptop which NO ONE uses but me. I wonder if it could possibly be getting in under some of those e-mail ads I get? Thanks, David
Spybot is another good program for finding nasties.

TOWSON, Md. – No. 5/7 Syracuse shut out No. 16/16 Towson in the second half and posted a 10-3 victory in Towson, Md. on Saturday, March 9. The Orange improves its record to 3-2, while the Tigers go to 1-4 this season.
Syracuse's defense played a large role in the victory. The Orange forced 25 Towson turnovers and its aggressive ride on clears allowed the Tigers to convert just 6-of-13 attempts.
"Defensively, I thought it was one of our best performances in a long time," said Syracuse head coach Gary Gait. "They forced the errors, they forced the mistakes and they played great team defense. They gave us lots of opportunities to get the ball back. Our attack rode hard. They weren't clicking on the offensive end but one thing they know they can do is ride hard to the opposite 30 (yard line)."
Syracuse led by one, 4-3, at halftime and quickly increased its lead on freshman Kayla Treanor's unassisted goal 32 seconds into the second half. Sophomore Devon Collins scored on assist from junior Alyssa Murray and then assisted on Treanor's second goal of the game to increase SU's lead to 7-3 with 18:54 to play. Collins finished the game with a season-high three points.
Senior Bridget Daley found the back of the net when senior Michelle Tumolo found her cutting toward the goal, and junior Amy Cross scored from a shot on the right side as the Orange went up by six, 9-3, with 11:49 on the clock. Tumolo closed out the scoring with a free position goal with 10:05 remaining to give Syracuse its second victory against a team ranked in the top 20 this season.
Syracuse controlled the pace early and sophomore Kailah Kempney put the Orange ahead with a free position goal with 24:54 on the clock. It marked the first time SU has scored first in a game this season. Back-to-back goals by Collins and Tumolo put the Orange ahead 3-0 before Towson netted three of the final four goals of the half to cut Syracuse's lead to 4-3 at intermission.
The Orange featured a balanced scoring attack as six different players registered goals. Tumolo, Treanor and Collins each finished with three points on two goals and an assist, while Cross recorded a pair of goals.
Syracuse outshot Towson, 35-13, and recorded 27 ground balls to 24 for the Tigers. Towson held a slight advantage in draw controls, winning 8-of-15. Sophomore Kelsey Richardson made her first career start in goal for the Orange and recorded two saves in the first half. Junior Alyssa Costantino made four saves in the second half. Kelsea Donnelly had 11 saves for Towson.

Jamaal Franklin Named Preseason Third-Team All-American
Oct. 1, 2012
2012-13 SDSU Men's Basketball Preseason AccoladesSan Diego State junior Jamaal Franklin has been named a preseason third-team All-American by Sporting News and is the only representative from a Mountain West institution. A year ago, Franklin was tabbed an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American.
A native of Hawthorne, Calif., the 2012 Mountain West Conference Player of the Year enjoyed his best season on Montezuma Mesa in 2011-12. Franklin averaged 17.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists for an Aztec squad that won MW regular-season title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third straight year.
This season, Franklin, who was also named a preseason third-team All-American by Athlon Sports, returns for his junior campaign as SDSU's leader in scoring, rebounding, free throws made, 20-point games, 30-point efforts, 10-rebound performances and double-doubles. He also returns as the team's second-leading returner in three-point field goals and steals. On a conference level, Franklin is the top returner in scoring and is the league's third-leading returner in rebounds.
The Aztecs, who finished the 2011-12 campaign with a 26-8 record, are coming off their fourth straight season with at least 25 victories and their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. In each of the last seven years, SDSU has won 20 or more games and advanced to the postseason.
In 2012-13, San Diego State is slated to return four of its five starters and its top four scorers from last season. The Aztecs are also slated to welcome three Division I transfers and a heralded recruiting class.

Goodbye Malaysia
Today is the day that we say good bye to not only Kuala Lumpur, but to Malaysia, to board our 6pm Air Asia flight to Phuket…exciting!
We've loved Malaysia, the people are so friendly, the food is amazing (!) and the places and sights are beautiful. We definitely want to come back here, and I definitely recommend it?! Come for your 3 week summer holiday! Malaysia photos are now up on my facebook too!
So anyway, we've been in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for 5 days, it's a pretty crazy city to be honest. We can walk to the Petronas Towers from our guesthouse in about 30 minutes, spending only about 5 minutes outside of air conditioned malls and walkways…crazy! KL is apparently the 2nd best shopping destination in Asia, and I'm struggling to believe there can be anywhere with more shops! Oh how I wish I could fit more things into my rucksack!
We visited the Petronas Towers about 4 times while we've been here, we can't get enough of them! Of a night when they're lit up, they're amazing, completely unlike the ugly image I get in my mind when I think of 'skyscraper' (slash really big building) which usually resembles a 70s concrete slab… we bought advance tickets (tip of the day: don't be an idiot and queue up at 6.30am to get a ticket for that day; stroll in mid-afternoon and get one for a couple of days time, and you can't buy them online) for our penultimate day. The whole experience was great, 100% worth doing if you ever come to KL. The whole tour group is split into 3; there were about 15 in our group, with the very good intention of not over-crowding the views. Before the tour started, we were shown a hologram – yes, a hologram (!) very star treky – telling us what was going to happen, and the general health and safety info. We then all crowded into a lift and wizzed up to the 41st floor to the skywalk. The first lovely piece of information we were told was that the skywalk isn't actually connected to the 2 buildings; it was allowed to be loose, and therefore to move. Thanks! Luckily it either wasn't windy, or moved such small amounts that I didn't notice it, and was able to admire the ridiculous views of KL. We then moved on to the next lift, to go to the 86th floor. The views from here were even more ridiculous, we could see pretty much the whole of KL, and the mountains in the distance. All in all, we loved it, and bought a beautiful print from the gift shop (noticeably cheaper than any gift shop back home!)
While in KL we also wandered over to China Town, Merdeka Square (where their independence was declared) and the central market (think traditional crafts etc).
So selamat tinggal Malaysia (we say with a tear), and sa-wat-dee Thailand.
