Thanks for the review. I'd really like it if you could publish either within a future review or a seperate article why something like this is a better purchase than a PS3, which seems to have a similar set of features plus all the gaming stuff at the same price.
Thanks again!
I have bought mine a couple of weeks ago, i'm very happy with it, but when it comes to dvd's, it always seems to struggle with the layer change... it takes a couple of seconds before the player continues playing the disc...
Hi Guys and Girls at trusted reviews. YOu mention about the streaming from your laptop not working. I had the same problem. but it is not the fault of the machine but us. you need to press the red button to hook up to the laptop/compture's contents. real easy once you have done this.
Calling all users of the Samsung BD-P3600.
I have a few questions to ask. Firstly, is this capable of playing MP3 CDs. Secondly, is it capable of playing Blu Ray disks burned on a Blu Ray writer such as the LG GGW-H20L. Thirdly, would I be able to stream full HD video from the hard drive on my computer, either through the WiFi dongle, or the ethernet connection, and out through the Samsung BD-P3600 to my HD TV.
regards, Peter King
I've owned this player for 5 days, and there's just one issue I can't resolve: there's a delay between the video and audio (audio follows). This is most severe when streaming Netflix and also very noticeable when playing blu-ray disks. The player's plugged directly via hdmi into my new Panasonic P50V10. Working through all of the audio settings on the P3600 - no improvement. Any thoughts or similar experiences out there?
I've had mine for a week, allthough I'm really happy with this player I might make some comment and querry:
1. Mine was shipped without the Wi-Lan dongle directly from Samsung to the shop I bought it from on special order, Samsung assured this component is now being shipped and am waiting - check the box before leaving the shop!!
2. Linking to my 5.1 surround A/V via optic cable does not support all channels, had to link via the old analog cables, is this normal?
3. While the player is really slick and obviously built to fit an extreme slick and small casing/housing, it slightly bulges on the bottom in the centre (at the centre footing) it doen't stand completely level due to this, have other users found this also?
4. Trying to plug in the optic cable I found one has to slightly push down while inserting as the plasting casing of the player is slightly of position.
5. On the positive - this player is great looking, start-up and loading times are quick and plays movies, whether blu-ray or dvd in a jiffy.
6. Managed to link a removeable hardrive via the USB loaded with 16gb of music no problem - can now access and play all my music (and photos) from one location - no more loading CD's - nice Samsung.
Just recently bought the product after revewing serveral articles on devices which support LAN streaming. Setting up the device was rather complicated when it comes to wireless. The implementation does not seem to be working well with WiFi access points using reasonable security features (WPA2, MAC filtering, hidden SID) In case you run into such a problem you migh want to disable the features until the connection is established. It seems the device is able to connect aftwards when even with the security features on. Unfortunately, I have not been able to manage streaming videos from my data storage a Netgear ReadyNAS+ The firmware of the Samsung player appears to assume there is always a PC and is unable to recognize shares of a remote data storage. I've also learned that once the data source is displayed on the screen and you see the individual section movies, foto etc the device is acting differently when you just press the Return button on the remote control or when you move the cursor by pressing the arrow keys. The latter will require you to enter a user id and password while pressing return just tells you that there isn't any application available. If you plan to use shares on a LAN data storage then this device is perhaps not the right choice as of today. Perhaps they will develope a new firmware supporting that in the future.
A little late in the day but just wanted to say that I did eventually get the wireless streaming working. The 3600 still wouldn't find my laptop automatically - I had to enter its IP address manually and then type in the name of the folder in which my files are found. Quite why it won't find it automatically is beyond me and makes the process very long winded, but once connected I had no trouble playing music or watching videos wirelessly over a Belkin wireless router.
I just got one of these and also had some problems setting this up.
The Wireless connection seems flaky; sometimes it will connect immediately, other times it seems to get stuck in "Initialising Network".
There is no indication that it has connected so you have to perform a connection test to find out.
The Network Search function seems to find my PC sometimes, if not then running the search again will often, but not always find it.
As mentioned, once connected, the quality of the picture and sound is good and smooth. Not tried any HD streaming yet.
Lets hope that future firmware updates improve these problems as otherwise it's a great system for the price (I got it for £214 delivered).
I got one of these free with my Samsung TV. Looks great but lip sync is awful. I have connected with HDMI cable with Samsung TV, set to BD Wise (should automatically set best settings) and blu ray/normal DVD has lip sync issues. I have latest firmware installed. If it wasn't free I'd send it back! Shame, as everything else is great. Bring on my PS3 Slim instead...
Update: The latest firmware (prompted from player start screen) has now added YouTube access. After the update the start screen now has a "Press A for YouTube" type prompt.
Vids play smoothly and the main screen is easy to use.
There are a number of sections, Most Viewed, Highest rated etc.
Of course there is also a search screen with mobile phone type text entry, including predictive text / search key words.
With regard to my post on 11th Aug, I have now switched to using the network port (connected to my powerline network) rather then wireless as I was still getting problems with it not connecting sometimes.
Still not tried any HD streaming as I've yet to find a good source of test material.
@Deputyd. Mine is also connected to my Samsung TV with the WiseLink and have had no lip sync issues.
I want to buy a blue ray player but i'm having trouble choosing between the Samsung BD-P3600, and the LG BD 370 and 390.
Biggest issue is not the blue ray playback quality (which i think will be comparable) but the DVD upscaled playback. I seem to reed in the reviews that the Samsung could be better in this respect then the LG's. It this true ?
I have this player and it is great. What I want to know is how or what do I need to connect a set of speakers to the player. I don't have a receiver for home cinema but would like to have a surround sound effect. What do I do?

Description: For more than a quarter of a century, Ildefonso, a Mexican Indian, lived in total isolation, set apart from the rest of the world. He wasn't a political prisoner or a social recluse, he was simply born deaf and had never been taught even the most basic language. Susan Schaller, then a twenty-four-year-old graduate student, encountered him in a class for the deaf where she had been sent as an interpreter and where he sat isolated, since he knew no sign language. She found him obviously intelligent and sharply observant but unable to communicate, and she felt compelled to bring him to a comprehension of words. The book vividly conveys the challenge, the frustrations, and the exhilaration of opening the mind of a congenitally deaf person to the concept of language. This second edition includes a new chapter and Afterword.

President Barack Obama is dismantling many of the Bush policies, but the question remains whether he will address the continual US missile strikes in Pakistan which wind up killing "militants" and in the process there is the inevitable "collateral damage" which means innocent civilians. Of course, the United States ordinarily refuses to admit it was their missiles which did the killing. Suspected US missiles killed 18 people according to Pakistan sources and supposedly five "foreign militants" were among those killed. Since August the US has launched at least 30 missile strikes inside Pakistan. As always, an anonymous Pakistan official provides estimates about how many died and how many were "militants." Of course, rarely, if ever, is the process of identifying who is a "militant" and who is an innocent civilian clearly spelled out.
During the war in Vietnam, US military leaders ran up what was termed a "body count" that in most cases included numerous civilians who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Is it possible we once again are witnessing the results of a body count approach to destroying "militants?"

ITFT / Quick Kill Review"It is enough to note, as we have observed, that the American people have considered the handgun to be the quintessential self-defense weapon." - Justice Scalia, SCOTUS - DC v Heller - 26 JUN 2008
The movies, all 6 of 'em, were made for kids. The are big fun filled adventure-escapism movies for people 8 to 13. Lucas has said as much. That is why many of the things are as they are.
Although having Annakin slaughter all the children in the Jedi University was a strange choice if Lucas is telling the truth.[nerd voice] Force fields! don't you know ANYTHING about force fields? [/nerd voice]- they drive around without seatbelts in open-air vehicles that fly, presumably, at speeds at least as high as our cars do, and probably more like our aircraft. And they drive them freehand, even though the traffic layers are three-dimensional around the cityscapes, buzzing in every direction. Yeah, that's plausible.
- The battle transports that Yoda and others ride in have open sides -- ostensibly mimicking Huey helicopters or something -- and yet when they are traveling at hundreds of miles per hour there is no wind or noise. They simply stand there on a platform inside the vehicle, yet no one falls out on turning, accelerating or decelerating.
Seriously, it makes sense that safty features of that type would be standard. As to the driving, Jedi could manage it easily. Others would rely on computer nav-comps to avoid collisions and such.
I'm going to take the Carlos Mencia Route on this one.
"I'm tired off people saying the new star wars sucked. "
"You Probably saw EP 4,5,6 when you where ten"
Lucas can't write a love scene to save his life. The action was decent. This coming from an original trilogy nut.
Although, in II, it was really cool to see the red hologram schematic of the Death Star. Gave me goosebumps, as it was the first major visual definitive tie between the original movies and the prequel trilogy.
I've never been interested in any of the movies. Last year though I had the opportunity to do some custom leather, i.e., gun belts, holsters, rifle sling, and vest, for a young girl who was dressing up as one of the characters from Episode I. I quickly learned, too, how detailed some of these folks want to be in their reenactment. Needless to say, the father was a royal pain through the whole process. The end result though was the young girl won first place in the costume contest for the younger division and placed second overall.
They've got all this hi tech and the force, yet no one has thought of ejection seats, parachutes, escape pods, etc.
But if I could have a blaster and a light saber...
I liked the way every time the lightsabers hit something, they just sliced right through it, whether it was wall, railing, floor, droid, or whatever. One of the better effects in the film.
I have to wonder about ray weapons that fire bolts of energy that move slowly enough that you can see the beginning and end of them, though. But if you're trying to survive a blaster-fight, it sure helps to be able to dodge light!
There did seem to be a great disparity between the efficacy of various handheld blasters. Jango Fett's seemed to be able to do a lot more damage than just about anyone else's... Was his a custom?
I tried to like the new Star Wars movies but...
There is not try. Only do - or do not.
Well, I couldn't. Love the original three from when I was a kid. Can take or leave the new ones.
My kids love all six ;-) so perhaps we view things differently as adults... Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

2013 Montana Folk Festival most successful to date
BUTTE, Mont. - Crowds packed the Mining City streets over weekend.
Festival organizer George Everett is busy crunching the numbers from the weekend, and while the final numbers aren't in yet, one thing is clear: "It was the most fantastic Folk Festival we've had ever," Everett said. "It set records on all levels."
Everett told NBC Montana that the festival went off without a hitch, but the large crowds had an impact on vendors.
He explained, "The problems we had were good problems, like vendors running out of food and ice."
We checked with police to find out if the increased crowds brought an increase in crime.
Butte-Silver Bow Undersheriff George Skuletich said, "There was a bit of increase in disturbances on Park and Main than usual, but they were between locals who were partying and drinking all day in the sun."
Skuletich also said they had issues with aggressive panhandling, in part because of members of the Rainbow Family who stuck around after the gathering, but explained they expected more people from the gathering.
"We thought we'd get about 500 or so," he said, "but looking at the numbers over the weekend and being Uptown all weekend, I think possibly we got around 100 or 150."
We asked businesses in Uptown how they fared over the weekend.
Mike Porchivina owns the popular M&M. He said, "The problems were very minimal here. The police officers were around a lot and kept complete control over everybody, it was really nice."
Porchivina told us the festival -- and Butte -- left a good impression on many of the visitors they met. "We saw a lot of out of town people, they said they loved Uptown Butte and they'd come back."
Even though the influx of people may have brought in some rowdy visitors, organizers of the Folk Festival say it was the best year yet, and they're looking forward to the future.
Organizers say they're thankful for their volunteers and visitors.
They encourage anyone with comments or suggestions to let them know, so they can make the festival even better in the future.

So, here's the question: what's an iPhone for? The advantage to the thing being a fairly versatile platform is that the marketplace for apps might be able to answer this question for us. It's for whatever people decide to use it for -- even if that includes, say, editing Word and Excel docs?
Right now, you can read Microsoft Office docs on your iPhone, but not create or edit them. That may change, though, as the head of Microsoft's Macintosh BU hints that his company is seriously considering bringing Office to the iPhone platform. Since Office routinely costs hundreds of dollars to buy for PCs or Macs, it will be interesting to see how much Microsoft will charge for the iPhone version (my guess: not hundreds of dollars). They'll be beat by a longshot by Quickoffice, a product that promises the ability to edit Word and Excel files and should be here in the next few weeks for $9.99.
The question, of course, is whether anyone will ever want to do anything like this. I have my doubts, and apparently I'm not alone. I can see the usefulness of being able to read a Word- or Excel-based attachment, and I suppose some folks will want to make a few tweaks to documents while they're on the go, but it just really seems to me that the market for people who will want to do serious document authoring or editing is miniscule. The screen-based, no-tactile-feedback iPhone keyboard is pretty much my least favorite feature of the phone, and it would make any kind of serious work impossible. It might be worth $10 to people to make minor edits to files while they're away from their computer, but probably not much more; assuming Quickoffice does a good job with file compatibility, and that Microsoft charges more than $10 for their own iPhone Office, I don't see it being a big money maker for them.
The wildcard, of course, is the possibility that an iPhone OS-based netbook, with a real keyboard, is being developed somewhere in the depths of One Infinite Loop. Not that I think Microsoft has some big inside scoop on this, but it's a likely enough possibility that it might be worth their while to invest the resources in an iPhone Office port now to be ready. Of course, I'd imagine that Apple would also have iNetBook-ready versions of Pages and Numbers ready for that rollout too.

Blasts rock Istanbul hotels, gas plant; two killed
Explosions hit two small tourist hotels and a gas plant in Istanbul early Tuesday in apparent "terrorist strikes", killing two people and injuring seven others, police said.
The blasts came amid tightened security concerns in Turkey, the focus of earlier attacks including four suicide truck bombings in November blamed on al-Qaeda that killed more than 60 people in Istanbul.
Workers at the Pars hotel said they received an anonymous call only 10 minutes before the explosion, saying there was a bomb in a room.
"It appears to be a terrorist attack," Police Chief Celalettin Cerrah said of the blasts, according to the Anatolia news agency.
Police cordoned off the area around the hotel, only a few hundred yards from the Saint Sophia and the Sultanahmet mosque. Glass and concrete littered the streets behind the hotel.
The other target, Holiday Hotel, is located in the Laleli district, home to inexpensive hotels and clothing stores catering to eastern European tourists. The three-story hotel was hosting 20 guests at the time of the explosion, officials said.
Authorities said a fire at the liquefied petroleum gas plant, where cooking gas canisters were filled, was under control, private NTV television reported. The two bomb blasts at the plant, on the outskirts of Istanbul, took place a half hour apart and shortly after an anonymous bomb threat, police said. There were no casualties, plant officials said.

An April safari with the rains
April 2006
Our guests could only come in April for 9 days so I planned a half day visit to Ngrongoro Crater followed by four full days at Ndutu in Olakira Camp and then 4 nights at Piaya staying in the Sayari Camp. To return to Arusha we decided to suffer the drive - a full day via Lake Natron to see Sanjan and the active volcano of Oldonyo Lengai.
At the end of March each year our safari season tends to wind down. The rains usually limits exploration and some areas become difficult to get around in. But there is always a plus to being on the Serengeti plains when more rain is falling.
The wildlife herds move onto the high plains near Piaya and into the Gol Mountains in huge numbers and the Angata Salei Plain near Sanjan Gorge also becomes flooded with newborn wildebeest and their mothers.
It is a time of plenty and the wildlife is free to move where ever it wants to as all the waterholes fill up and the green grass is easily found. Lions and Hyenas move right out onto the open plains and are easily found- they stick out like sore thumbs being brown in a world of green grass.
At Ndutu large herds were moving through the area heading north and east - an 18 strong pride of lions had moved right in front of camp giving us morning and evening enjoyment and filling our nights with roars.
At Piaya the herds were arriving and we saw 10 wild dogs hunting baby wildebeest. We aslo walked to view ancient rock paintings and visited the local village. What fun we had. Our drive back to Arusha was long and quite hard but the landscapes decked in green more than made up for it.
So a safari in the rains had a few wet days with mud that slowed us down sometimes- was it worth the risk to see these incredible places all green and busting with wildlife? You bet it was!
Any takers for next April?

Not to be left in the cold, Microsoft has announced a beta of System Center Configuration Manager 2012, which will be able to manage iOS, Android, Symbian, and Windows Phone 7 devices, i.e. any OS that supports Exchange ActiveSync.
There isn't much information to go on, but the SCCM 2012 overview states that it will "Drive organizational efficiency for IT with improved visibility and enforcement options for maintaining system compliance." We interpret that to mean that SCCM 2012 will at least be able to enforce password complexity, and remotely wipe employee devices.
One might think that this is a step backwards for Microsoft's mobile development, but they have often reached out to other operating systems. And, to their credit, they're relying on Windows Phone 7 to make a name for itself, rather than become a success only because Microsoft railroaded IT departments in its direction.

Paid Review:
PayPerPost.com Users Penalized
Paid Review
TechCrunch reports that, since last two weeks Google has started to penalize PayPerPost bloggers in the most shocking way possible – by resetting their PageRank to zero and also removing them from the Google Search Index!
Well, this isn't a surprise for me! Remember sometime in January, Google's head of Webspam Team, Matt Cutts made Google's views on paid reviews very clear by stating:
It should be clear from Google's stance on paid text links, but if you are blogging and being paid by services like Pay Per Post, ReviewMe, or SponsoredReviews, links in those paid-for posts should be made in a way that doesn't affect search engines. The rel="nofollow†attribute is one way, but there are numerous other ways to do paid links that won't affect search engines, e.g. doing an internal redirect through a url that is forbidden from crawling by robots.txt.
According to the updated Google Guidelines, buying or selling links that pass PageRank violates Google's webmaster guidelines and can negatively impact a site's ranking in search results. So this is clearly what has been happening with PayPerPost Bloggers.
However, not all paid links are 'bad'! If the links are for giving the new site traffic rather than manipulation of PageRank And Search Result, It can be easily done so by:
- Adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to the tag
- Redirecting the links to an intermediate page that is blocked from search engines with a robots.txt file
PayPerpost, now called IZEA, is in the process of launching what they call RealRank
(an alternate way to rank the blogs on their network).
Bloggers are expressing their anger on the PPP's forum thread. Despite the sudden drop in PageRank, it has been reported that the blogs which are a victim of this change have not suffered a loss in traffic, according to Tony Hung, "My take on things is that Google wants to make an example out of Izea," he wrote.
However I feel that even if the traffic may not have been affected today, the effects of the dramatic lowering of PageRank may be evident in the months to follow. Being the most popular search engine, Google drives traffic to websites, and the higher their position is in search results, the better their chance a to receive traffic.

As long as it is quality ammo, you're good to go. I've carried both Hornady XTPs and Speer Gold Dots. Both reliable methods of delivering quality expanding bullets!
Keep it simple.
Find something that reliably functions in your handgun and provides 12" to 14" of penetration.
For personal protection, avoid "specialty" and "gimmick" ammo such as "safety slugs" and similarly constructed types.
Defensive Training Concepts, Inc.
Staunton, Va.
Big fan of Federal HydraShok. Speer Gold Dots run very close. Corbon DPX or PowRBall is another favorite. Maybe a tie all the way across.
www.ubgholsters.com short wait times. Use 'defensivecarry' as a coupon code for a discount to your order.
if ur gun has been feeding fine and reliable with the Hornady, stick with them. The are a good SD round and already proven in your gun.
Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it ......
I carry the same ammo as our local police dept, Remington Golden Saber. If it's good enough for our local PD, it's good enough for me.
i'm lucky, my p250 eats everything i've tried through it. hst's, ranger t's, gold dots and all the hornady stuff have functioned flawlessly so i carry which ever one of those i have at the moment. go with what you habe tested and is most reliable.
For my Sig's I usually try to shoot the best I can find but it is usually CCI Blaser Brass Ball nose. 115 grain.
For self defence hollow point;
Lately, I have been impressed with Winchester Bonded PDX1 for 9mm,
.40. (.357 Sig and .45 ACP is not yet available).
There are two types for 9MM luger. Type 9mm+P #SGMMPDB, 124 grains and # SGMMPDB1 147 grain. +P ammo is high pressure so check with your gun manufacture first if your pistol is compatible with high pressure rounds. Especially check first before You use 147 grain 9MM. This stuff is like dynamite in a small package.
Here is just another persons opinion. Take it for what it is worth.
Bullets that expand utilize their energy more effectively. According to my own experience, they increase the effectiveness of your defensive handgun between 15% and 60% over standard ball ammo.
I would point out that most experts in the field would say that penetration is the primary consideration with expansion coming in second in terms of bullet "effectiveness". One of the best sources I've found on the study is a 1989 FBI report on bullet effectiveness: http://www.firearmstactical.com/pdf/fbi-hwfe.pdf
The basic gist is that bullet expansion is nice but cannot be counted on, a penetration depth of 12 inches minimum is a more important consideration in effectively disabling assailants.
With that in mind, in smaller caliber chamberings, hollow points may actually be less effective than ball ammo because they may not achieve adequate penetration to reach the vital organs. Basically, in any chambering of lower power than 9mm luger, I would say that ball ammo is probably a better choice than hollow point unless a particular loading can be demonstrated to achieve the requisite penetration.
Just my 2 cents. Take it for what it's worth.

I've been carrying Federal Hydrashok in 9mm and now .45 ACP since 1993 when I entered law enforcement. I'm switching to Federal HST based on the last couple months of study from testing, etc. I'm just waiting on my 200 round order to arrive and then I'll be making the move..

The compromise efficiency vs. egalitarianism among generations with an infinite horizon
This paper concerns ethical aggregation of infinite utility streams. Position i is typically interpreted as the endowment of generation i. We analyze the broad question: In order for the social welfare to increase, the interest of how many generations can be respected if we intend to be "ethical"? Here "ethical" refers to verifying adequate equity axioms, and case-studies cover: extensions of restricted non-substitution; or Hammond Equity-related principles; together with the usual Anonymity axiom.

I like the premise of the show (poor Jeff is a little stiff when it comes to the on-camera interviews, but then again, he is a florist, not an actor) and his work is absolutely incredible. First, I wish when I did flowers I had this kind of budget. Second, I would LOVE to work with him for a day. Here are some pics:
These first two are from Eva Longoria's wedding. Wow. (Image credit Jeff Leatham via Be Imbued.)
These are some of the designs on TLC's site. The floating flowers are absolutely stunning. (Photo Credit: Heather Swanson DCL)
Can you imagine the budget for these? I was stressed over tiny weddings we did...I can only imagine how stressful this is to coordinate.
You can catch the show on TLC and I honestly cannot tell you what time it is on...I tried to look up the schedule here. Can anyone make out a regular time for the show? I guess just set your Tivo!

After your first bite at El Granjenal, you'll exclaim, "¡Uno mas, por favor!" The menu items may be extremely cheap, but this brightly colored taqueria serves up delectably authentic, fresh Mexican fare. Spicy salsa, onions and cilantro are slathered liberally on the savory, soft tacos ($2.29 each). They're available al pastor (shaved pork with spices) or with tender carnitas, hearty carne asada steak, fish or grilled chicken. The massive, overstuffed beef and chicken burritos ($5.79), real-deal tostadas ($4.99), and craveable breakfast chorizo and egg tortas (served all day at $5.69) come with lime wedges for squeezing, chips and fiery salsa, and some jalapeños and carrots. Try Kim's Korean-style tacos with grilled beef or pork, dolloped with shredded cabbage and drizzled with tangy sauce on white-corn tortillas ($1.79). You can wash them down with a homemade licuados (milkshake with fresh fruit) or fresh-squeezed juice. Join the other OC faithful who line up to get their fill quickly and affordably from breakfast all the way until 11 p.m. or midnight.
Foodies have long loved Break of Dawn for its extraordinary breakfasts and lunches—including this paper, which deemed it Best Breakfast last year. But let's call Break of Dawn what it is—an extraordinary restaurant, period, a culinary treasure with few peers. It's not just the food—chef/owner Dee Nguyen uses his ethnicity (Vietnamese) and experience at the Ritz-Carlton equally, offering everything from abstract chilaquiles to a Hawaiian-style breakfast combining papaya slaw with a purée of green scallions. But Nguyen's great attribute is that he's constantly experimenting, whether offering piping-hot cinnamon buns that are more frosting than bread yet light on the stomach or surprising eaters with a habanero salsa. Add in Nguyen's limited hours, necessitated by his caring for his disabled son, and Break of Dawn becomes as fragile and beautiful—and necessary—as what it's named after.
A pizza buffet replete with a fresh-doughnut maker and all-you-can-pour soft serve is exactly what parents don't want for their already sugar-loaded, barely controllable offspring. But at least John's Incredible Pizza—a gigantic, kid-friendly über-eatery that takes up almost the entire lower floor of what used to be Buena Park Mall—has multiple themed dining areas, some of them geared toward adults. Plus, there's no giant rodent singing rote songs. Instead, you can train your future Las Vegas compulsives on the excesses of Sin City with token-based games of chance and all-you-can-eat binging. The peanut-butter pizza is exactly as it sounds: terrifying. Same goes for the nacho pizza, which actually isn't that bad. But for an 8-year-old, it might as well be Thomas Freakin' Keller.
It takes a certain kind of blind optimism to call your hot-pot restaurant "Four Seasons." Such places are decidedly one season. It's a heat-generating meal that's only apt and appetizing when the weather is chilly and you can see your breath. But whatever the climate, the balding owner is always dressed in a suit and tie to welcome guests. In the summer months, most customers shun him and his cook-it-yourself Mongolian hot-pot concept. No one wants to sit over a roiling vat of broth spiced with aromatic spices, ginger and garlic, dipping thinly sliced meats, veggies, and tofu, especially when they've got a day at the beach in mind. But the man is still at it, going on four years. Let's hope he can last till this year's winter.
Motel restaurants, when they exist, are typically eateries of last resort, places where dried-up chicken, overboiled vegetables and bland starches go to die. Open the menu at Formosa Chinese Restaurant, inside a Best Western-turned-Quality Inn, and you'll wonder what it was smoking. The first half of the menu is a depressing hodgepodge of fried junk tossed in sweet, sticky sauces or brown, cornstarch-y glop. The back page, however, contains the reason to seek out the place: a laundry list of Taiwanese specialities, from pai gu fan (pork chop rice) to san bei ji (three cup chicken—soy sauce, rice wine and sesame oil, in case you wondered). A bowl of niu rou mian (beef noodle stew), fragrant with ginger, star anise and just a hint of preserved cabbage, is the perfect dish to chase away winter rains or June gloom. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are light and juicy, an awesome find so far from their U.S. spiritual home in the San Gabriel Valley. On weekends, stop in for the traditional Taiwanese breakfast of hot soy milk with fried-to-order you tiao (huge savory doughnut twists). Daily specials are written in Chinese on a whiteboard near the kitchen door; insist politely that the staff translates them. Prices are as low as you'd expect, given the proximity to McDonald's.
Hangover remedies abound in every culture, from coconut water to tripe soup, but they involve insider information: You have to know what dishes are meant for the overindulgent. In the Korean culture, it's simple: Their hangover cure-all, haejangguk, translates as "soup to chase a hangover." Made of pork bones, doenjang (the Korean answer to miso), garlic, ginger, mushrooms and radish, the soup arrives unsalted; you spoon salt from the large pot on the table to your liking. Die-hard hangover nursers should consider requesting ox blood be added to the soup. Get your fix, which will run you about $8 for a huge bowl, in this pair of no-décor one-stop shops located in the Korean-heavy areas of Garden Grove and Buena Park, and make sure to drink the bland toasted-rice water you'll be given for hydration—the Koreans have morning-after syndrome down to a science.

Coach Romeo Crennel has had four practices to assess his team, which now has only one practice on Sunday left before the team breaks until the start of training camp July 26.
Saturday, he gave a brief assessment of rookies that don't get the attention of first-round pick Kamerion Wimbley.
D'Qwell Jackson, the inside linebacker from Maryland taken in the second round: "D'Qwell is coming along pretty well. I think earlier on, the new system wasn't coming to him as fast as he wanted it to. Toward the latter part of the OTAs and now the mini camp, his instincts are coming out and he's making plays on the ball. I think he feels more comfortable within the scheme and his ability to play in the scheme."
Leon Williams, the inside linebacker from Miami taken in the third round: "Leon Williams is doing well. He has the size we like at that position and he can run. He has the reputation of being a hitter. We have to put on the pads though. We are encouraged by what we see."
Isaac Sowells, the guard from Indiana taken in the fourth round: "Isaac Sowells has the typical offensive guard body. He looks the part. He played tackle in college and we're moving him to guard. I think he's picking up on it really well. He has some quickness in his set. He's working on trying to be more physical. It's tough to do in this camp but, with time he'll work out pretty well."
Lawrence Vickers, the fullback from Colorado taken in the sixth round: "It looks like he's going to be competitive in this camp. He can catch the ball out of the backfield pretty well and he's made some nice cuts. If he's tough enough, he'll have a chance."
Babatunde Oshinowo, the nose tackle from Stanford taken in the sixth round: "Oshinowo is learning the system. I think he has the strength to make the adaptation that he has to make. He was a 'penetrate and get across the block' type of guy. We are a more disciplined and technique type of team. He's making progress with that."
Crennel talked about running back Jerome Harrison, a fifth-round pick from Washington State, and Chris Barclay, a rookie free agent running back Wake Forest. Barclay is 5-10, 180 pounds. Harrison is 5-9, 199 pounds.
"Chris and Harrison are similar types of players," Crennel said. "They are both quick and explosive. You notice them when they have the ball under their arms because they seem to be running away from people. We like that about them. We are going to have to find a spot and get them on the team."

You can do a search for more.
I have been doing research, and finding out more about the car as I go. Today I found out:
**The rear end of this car came from a 2004 Mustang GT, so it has the OEM brake calipers.
**The Front end has D52 style GM calipers
**The proportioning valve was a Disc/Drum valve that was modified (as you said It had the fitting/cap between the two front outlets) I was told buy a custom brake specialist to huck that thing into the nearest trashcan.
**I was also told by this custom brake specialist that my problem is more than likely due to the size of the Master cylinder bore which is 1 1/8" He explained to me, and it makes complete sense after thinking about it. I have more volume flowing to the calipers than pressure. Pressure is what I need. He is reccomending that I go to a smaller bore Master Cylinder which will in turn give me more pressure. Thinking back that would explain why it seamed the master cylinder would "bottom out" it was filling the calipers with a large volume of fluid but not enough pressure.
**He also thinks that the 7" dual diaphram booster is right on the edge of being maxed out. I estimated the vehicle weight at 3400lbs, I found a websight that listed a 56 crown victoria with the thunderbird v-8 at 3400lbs, so its got to be fairly close to that. He says the 7" dual boosters are good for about 3500lbs.
I ordered a new combination valve from them and should be getting it tomorrow. But after hearing what he was telling me and thinking it over I was thinking about the CPP MCPV-1 with a 1 inch bore. That way I would get the Master Cylinder I need It has a built in Proportioning valve, its a lot prettier than a Cast iron Corvette Master, Less line and clutter. The Proportioning Valve I ordered was almost 90 bucks shipped. The CPP master seams like a killer deal at 199.00, Big Pretty bang for the buck.
As far as the booster goes, I'm not sure I can go with anything bigger due to valve cover clearence. With the 7" I don't notice any resistance like it is struggling, I might just stick with that.
Any Idea, comments, insight?
Thanks in advance

Ryan Lochte's grill designed by rapper Paul Wall
Ryan Lochte has received plenty of attention at the London Olympics for his style as much as his swimming. Lochte wore a diamond grill in his mouth after he won the 400-meter individual medley on Saturday, and he later sparked a controversy when it was reported he was barred from wearing the jewelry over his teeth.
Now we're learning that the fashion-conscious Lochte actually had the grill designed by rapper Paul Wall, a.k.a. The Peoples Champ.
"The grill he's wearing is all hand-prong set, all VS diamonds and custom red rubies," Wall told XXL Mag. "What he has in his mouth is all hand-crafted. Every diamond is set by hand — one by one, prong set and all custom red rubies. Of course, we gave him an Olympic discount."
Wall said that custom grills typically go for anywhere from $15,000-$25,000. He's pleased that the swimmer is making the grill hip again.
"For him to represent us and our culture, the grill culture, it's just shining a light on hip-hop in the Olympics," said the People's Champ, who's working on a new mixtape with DJ Whoo Kid. "Everyone's talking about it. . . . It's just an incredible thing to be part of. I'm just honored to be part of it. There's not too many world-class swimmers wearing our grill."
Lochte might not have enough sway to make winged-shoes popular, but there's no doubt he's using his time in the limelight to bring back diamond grills.

Ryan Lochte - Wannabe Gangsta.
Looks stupid. What a waste of money.
I C U Lochte!
Cheesy, very cheesy. Makes you think first that he's an idiot, only then that he's a great swimmer.
He looks ridiculous.
I thought he was wearing braces.
The coach from Tunisia should have slapped Ryan silly for his insulting bling... it was a slap in the face of all there representing their very poor countries.........
Ryan Locthe- The Peoples Champ
Ya, kinda silly. Flava called and wants his image back... USA is thinkin.... what a tool. Enjoy being second...
Wow, a complete sellout in only 7 days. Not Wheaties, Not Coke, Not Google....but Paul Wall. True genius.
Stop all the hate this guy is showing his American side, not caring what other people think about him, but doing his own thing. Shots out to Ryan Locthe for being an American!!!!
Don't paint all Americans with the same brush. Some of us do care about what others think of us and don't want to represent the US as a wannabe gangsta.
I thought only black people wore stuff like that.. I agree.. wannabe (but will never be) a gangsta-.To Ryan: Don't be a follower all your life.. It appeared you were trying to be a leader. Not to sure now......
What if he's being himself. If its different then its "a wanna be" Do you! and let him Do him!!
Ryan is HOT and charming. I guess thats why its so many guys commenting negatively. STOP HATING!!
Hey, it's his money, he didn't steal it or hurt anyone to get it . He's in to fashion and he's a young guy ... I can think of a lot worse things he could of done. I wish him well and thank him for doing such a great job representing the U S of America. Go Lochte !!!
I'm all about do whatever makes you happy barring it doesn't hurt someone else. However, I simply don't get the "grill culture". It might be more that Lochte has the look of your typical good looking suburban guy. Yeah, that's not fair, but it just seems like he's posing.

Surprises are the stuff of science, but some discoveries are more surprising than others. We are starting a new column, its aim being to highlight findings that, in our view, lie outside the norm for being markedly unexpected and unforeseen. We plan to post notices of such items periodically. You are invited to submit your own choices.
Although only a small fraction of the bacteria on Earth can be cultivated, the existence of many others has been inferred from the presence of their DNA in environmental samples. This two-fold approach sounds innocuous enough, but it has occasionally resulted in acrimonious controversies. This is puzzling because even a moment's reflection should lead one to conclude that these strategies are complementary and that both are needed. But putting that aside, consider that bacterial species are far from uniformly abundant in the environment. Some are found in large numbers, others are exceedingly rare. Now, which do you think would be easier to culture, the abundant ones or the rare ones? If you bet on the abundant ones—surprise, surprise—you'd be wrong, even if your answer feels intuitively obvious.

Frank Lopez wrote:Hi Canis and welcome to DHC. Salt or brackish water for puddlers is not that big a deal. Mostly, you'll be hunting larger water, so you may want a few more decoys than you would on small ponds or lakes. As far as decoy species, stick with the species of birds you typically see. Here on Long Island, there is very little freshwater hunting for ducks. Fortunately, the birds don't seem to mind one bit. We hunt mostly two different ways, from an accessable shoreline or from a boat. When we walk in, we typically carry anywhere between 18 and 36 decoys. I usually carry the larger amount, the reason being that if I have them with me, I can put them out. If I don't, I'm out of luck.
As far as hunting, some serious scouting will pay big dividends. The trick is to be where the birds want to be. We've found that a falling tide is the best tide to hunt. And make sure you account for the tide's rise and drop in rigging your blocks. Up here, we can have a 6 to 8 foot swing, depending on the moon phase, so we're generally running 10 to 12 feet of anchor line. The other thing is the current speed. In areas were the tide runs quick, you need to pay attention to your anchor weight and or design. Muffin tin anchors about 4 to 6 ounces with copper loops work well here, but we've got some really fast currents.
Hope this helps some.

Sophomore Sydney Cross has witnessed the devastating floods in the midwest first-hand from her family home in Missouri. She shared these photographs and brief comments in a recent email message:
"I thought I would leave you with these pictures of the Flood of 2008 as my home state of Missouri has been ravaged by water the past week 1/2. My Family and I are ok as our house sits on top of the Missouri River bluff about 5 miles from the Missouri River. However, we did have a levee break in some farm land about 10 miles from my house which widened the river from its usual one mile across to about 6 miles across."
"To us Midwesterners this is summer. Every summer we know we will have to rebuild from something whether its a flood, severe thunderstorm damage, or a tornado. We will sandbag to save our towns and install tornado sirens to save our lives. When those fail we pick up ourselves and rebuild stronger houses to protect aganist the wind, stronger and higher levees to hold back the water, and seek higher ground to build our houses on. Life in the plains states does not come without it challenges and battles with mother nature but, every summer we prepare for the unexpected knowing that we are only one storm system away from disaster"
We all hope that Sydney and her family continue to be well, and we pray for all of the people whose homes, farms and livelihoods have been devastated by the floods.
Sydney also writes with the good news that she has a very full summer, including campaigning for a candidate for governor of Missouri, and then she'll head off to the Democratic National Convention in August! Like a True Trinity Woman, even in the face of many challenges, Sydney is making her mark through active political engagement with the most important issues of our times. Thanks for writing, Sydney, and send us more messages and photos from your travels!

So after a couple trips to the Indoor Range that requires its low tier members to purchase their ammo I thought I might offer up some opinions and such... Now please remember these are only my opinion, There was no Scientific Testing done or any of that stuff, I am a mediocre shooter at best, and all prices are subject to differences as well...
Winchester (White Box)
Price: $35.00 per 100 (Approx.)
American Eagle (Federal Cartridge Company)
Price: $19.95 per 50
Federal Premium "Law Enforcement Ammunition - Tactical" (Federal Cartridge Company)
165 GR. 40 S&W Expanding FMJ
Price: $22.99 per 50
The White Box is a great ammo for taking out to the outdoor range or hills and tearing up cans and bottles or dinging steel targets with friends. It is inexpensive (relative I know) with very regular manufacturing. i have not experienced any FTF, or FTE with this ammo out of 300 rounds (3 boxes) used. Solid seating and crimping with no loose grains in any of the boxes...
The American Eagle ammo also did fairly well for me. Only one box of 50 was used but there were no problems with the firing of any rounds and no FTF/FTE. I was very suspicious of this ammo when they put the box in front of me as it looks like the bottom of the barrel, bargain priced, no frills ammo that Federal might offer. I wouldn't use it to sight anything in with but it made its way down range without any problems.
The Federal Premium was the next step for me in looking for a cheap ammo that was a step above bargain bin but offered me the chance to work on my shooting abilities. I really like this stuff. 200 rounds (4 boxes) down range and not a single hiccup or problem and any wayward round placement I could see was my own fault. Now I don't know how realistic the "Law Enforcement" stamp is on the box but I would be willing to keep 5 of 7 of my HD magazines loaded with it as back ups.
Would be very interested in hearing others takes and or experiences as well...

I have used a lot of Federal Champion and Winchester Whitebox 165 & 180 grain and have had great results with both. I have favored the Federal but thinking I may favor the Winchester now. I seeming get a bit better groups with it. Not sure if its me or the gun. I am thinking I need a second opinion so next practice match the club has I think I will have a couple of our top shooters give it a try and see what they think.

I have to keep it simple for economy. I feel my range ammo should match my defense ammo in weight and energy. But have not yet decided between 180 gr 400 ft lbs and 155 gr 445 ft lbs for defense. My defense ammo is Federal Defense C40SWA and P40HS2. I will try to buy and shoot at the range Federal American Eagle AE40R1 and AE40R2, subject to availability. I intend to bring a few defense rounds into the range to check for function.
I have no experience in this but am going on what I have read and what seems to make sense. Any comments appreciated.

I have never had a problem with WWB or American Eagle for target shooting with my M&P45c or HK P30, I will see how my brand new M&P 40 handles it.

For what it's worth, I've shot both 165 gr WWB and 180 gr Federal back to back to back/ mixed in mags. To me the 165 gr WWB has much more felt recoil and shot tighter groups than the Federal. Again, for fwiw/imho etc... Both function 100%

IMHO you're paying too much, and for a lesser quality of ammo. Federal loads both their top of the line HST 155 and 180 grain bullets in brass cases as XM40HB and XM40HC. This first quality ammo can be had for $25 or less if you look around. They're overruns from a Federal LE contract and have slightly higher terminal ballistics than the P40HST2 and P40HST1 (very expensive premium SD loads). This is the very best stuff out there, at one of the lowest prices for SD ammo.
The lighter ammo usually does have more recoil than the heavier, you're not dreaming there, and both are equally capable of 2 1/2" to 3" groups at 25 yards.

I've been using WWB 165gr to practice. I've never had any issues with the quality of the ammo or with function in my 40c. Until yesterday. I bought a box of 100 and went to the range. This box of ammo looked rough! The cases weren't clean, with small areas of corrosion on some of them. Some of them had red sealant around the primer pockets while most of it didn't. It all fired and extracted, but on numerous occasions it was slow to go into battery. There were a couple of times when I thought it wasn't going to close, then the good ol' M&P would shoved it in there! Like I said, this is the first time I've seen this. I hope I was just unlucky and got a bad box as this is the cheapest stuff I can get locally at about $30 per 100. Anybody else seen this with WWB?

With WWB...not yet, and hopefully never! I too hope you just got a bad box. I just purchased a case of WWB 165gr and inspected all of them, all normal.
