Ladies and gentlemen, we are very pleased to announce that Damian Conway will be attending the fourth Swiss Perl Workshop as speaker, participant, and godfather!
Damian is well known for his talks, his modules, and of course his work on both Perl 5 and Perl 6.
You can sign up for the Swiss Perl Workshop here.
As always, thanks to our sponsors:
OETIKER+PARTNER | Perl Careers | GivenGain. If you would also like to sponsor the workshop then please do get in touch and see here for more information.
The workshop will take place on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th of August 2017. You can find information on getting to Villars-sur-Ollon and places to stay on the workshop website.
Please spread the word, register, submit talks, and come enjoy a perl workshop in the mountain air. Oh, there will also be beer/wine/drinks and pizza from the real pizza oven at the GivenGain office (although we need to do a test run first).
Thanks to our sponsors:
OETIKER+PARTNER | Perl Careers | GivenGain
Not able to manage it to get to YAPC?
You are going to YAPC and you need more Perl talks?
Come to Alpine Perl Workshop, come to Innsbruck.
Consider to submit a talk.
Call for papers is extended till Sunday, August 21.]]> Talks can be in English or German, preferably in the language you feel
We offer 20 and 40 minutes slots and lightning talks (5 minutes).
Keynote speaker wanted!
Please send us an email for accommodation, travel expenses.
Register today: Alpine Perl Workshop 2016
Our Sponsors: www.mycontrol.de | perl-services.de | oetiker.ch
We are currently looking for Sponsors and Speakers.
Registration and Call for Papers is open: http://act.yapc.eu/alpineperl2016/
Please contact us if you like to volunteer with the website design.
We are looking for talks about Perl 5, Perl 6, CPAN, other Perl-related topics, not-so-much-Perl-related topics and other interesting stuff. We offer 20 and 40 minutes slots, but prefer two shorter talks to one long. There will also be lightning talks (5 minutes).
Talks can be in English or German, preferably in the language you feel more comfortable in. As we expect some guests who might not speak German, it would be a good idea to provide English slides if you plan to speak German. But please consider that the majority of attendees will be German speakers (if we consider schwiizerdütsch, tirolerisch and even wienerisch as German..)
Please submit your talks via the website. Deadline for talk submission is 31st July 2016.]]>
Now, we need you, even in case your are not attending.
Larry Wall will answer your questions in a Q&A session on Friday at 10:50 hrs CEST.
Please ask everything you ever wanted to know about Perl and the "Perl universe" and send your questions to email@example.com or add your comments to this blog post.]]> Our sponsors:
First and foremost: Don't be shy and come even if you have never contributed to the Perl 6 ecosystem. Neither have I, and I will be there. There are always tasks that do not require insights into the Perl 6 toolchain. This hackathon is pretty much a one-time opportunity for Switzerland. There will be a dozen of Perl 6 core hackers on site, and some of them will even help you get Perl 6 up and running.
Please add yourself to the list of attendees. We will then organise a seat and food for you. On the link mentioned, you will also find extensive information and links to preparational material. (Thank you, Wendy!) Most of the text below is copied from there.
Get prepared. Instead of showing up and asking around what to do, you should pick possible tasks in beforehand. A good hook would be to check the Perl 6 status of things you use in Perl 5 and start from there. You could even become one of the first Perl 6 module authors on the topic chosen!
If you can you could also consider some time travelling forward to the Perl 6 training sessions on Saturday, then back and forth to many interesting Perl 6 talks on Friday and Saturday, and then back to the Hackathon on Thursday.
There will be several people that help to install Perl 6. Some of the regular Perl 6 people have been doing a "Perl 6 Installation Hour" before. If you want to, you can install Perl 6 (especially Rakudo Star, the most advanced implementation of Perl 6):
For some, the best page for people using Linux/BSD/Debian, to install Perl 6 Rakudo:
(You should not time-travel and install some fantastic Perl 6.22 from 2042(?), because that would probably confuse some core hackers, or probably you should..)
The core Perl 6 developers will work on core Perl 6 code. But they will be available for "less important things" and most of them really don't mind helping out with small things, like "my installation of Perl 6 does not work as expected and I have no clue where to start fixing it".
A couple of things that people can work on:
* Documentation ( http://www.perl6.org/documentation/ ).
* Convert modules from Perl 5 to use in Perl 6 (see also http://doc.perl6.org/language/5to6 ; also check Stefan Seifert's Inline::Perl5 on https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5 ; check David Adler's activities on http://dhaperl6.blogspot.nl/ ; check DrForr's project on http://blogs.perl.org/users/drforr/2015/07/perltoperl6-released-to-cpan.html and https://github.com/drforr/Perl-Mogrify ).
* Check the testing system, and add more tests ( see also https://github.com/perl6/roast ).
* Add more examples to Rosetta Code (http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Perl_6 ), or maybe improve them.
* Invite people to visit #perl6 on irc.freenode.org where the people are busy, friendly and helpful (backlog is available too: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/ ).
There are at least two important aspects that need a lot of attention for Perl 6 to become a success:
* graphics support
There is also a list of most wanted modules that need a lot of attention:
So, looking forward to seeing you there!]]> Our sponsors:
We will have the Perl 6 Hackathon starting on Thursday August, 27th, Talks on Friday, August, 28th and Workshops and Talks on Saturday, 29th.
Since so many people are contributing to this years' program, it is difficult to highlight any events.
Feel free to listen to the talks you are interested in
or join the workshops
or come to meet us and do some socializing.
We have stil a place for you to join us, please register at perl-workshop.ch.]]> Our sponsors:
Hey, Perl 6 hackers, if you like to join our Perl 6 hackathon which runs in parallel to the workshop, please sign up. It is starting already Thursday, 27. August.
Did I tell you already about our kitchen team? Their creations have been delicious! Attendees of 2014 know what I am talking about. So, give yourself a chance and join us on Friday, 28. August and Saturday, 29. August 2015.
Buy your ticket soon.
See you there...]]> Thank you, sponsors:

Perl 6 Hackathon
(Plus Dinner for Hackers)
Day Two
Friday, 28 August
Keynotes and Talks, Perl 6 Hackathon
(Plus Attendees' Dinner)
Day Three

Thank you, sponsors (and yeah, we urgently need more!):
Larry already confirmed to come and it is a great honor for us to host him.
It's christmas time ;-)
Larry has announced that the Perl 6 Developers will attempt to make a development release of Version 1.0 of Perl 6.0 in time for his 61st Birthday this year and a Version 1.0 release by Christmas 2015.
This will be one of the last hackathons before September, 27.
Since this is a community event we are searching for sponsors who are willing to support this extraordinary event at Flörli in the lovely city of Olten, where the Swiss Perl Workshop 2014 took place as well.
Feel free to contact us in case you have any questions.]]>
For further information, please have a look at the workshop website.
Thanks to our sponsors:
www.oetiker.ch | www.perl-academy.de | www.bloonix.de | www.eventrix.ch
There are still some seats free. The organisers would like to ask for timely registration to make it easier to buy food, drinks and appropriate amount of fun. Inadvertent last minute show-ups only get water, dry bread and seats in the hallway. ;-)
Attendees, please leave your preferences and allergies here, so that our kitchen team can try and take these into account. This is especially important for the attendees dinner, taking place at the venue, but also for the lunches and coffee breaks.
Also, and especially if you are from Switzerland: Help tilt the Kickstarter Campaign for brian d foy who wants to work for his expenses and is going to teach "Mastering Perl" after the workshop, in Switzerland. The campaign is well underway, but could use a little more love, especially local love.
See you in 2 weeks at the Flörli in Olten.
Thanks to our sponsors:
www.leanux.ch | www.perl-academy.de | www.oetiker.ch | O'Reilly | WSIWLT GmbH
For the Swiss Perl Workshop 2014, brian d foy does all the above, and more. He is giving a keynote, teaching his "Become a CPAN Author in 2 Hours", hanging out at the "Hack and Talk"-Track, and whatever we come up with in the next weeks.
The best though is that he stays for another few days. On September 9 and 10 he is going to teach "Mastering Perl" in Zürich. To make the class interesting and available to even more people, he started a Kickstarter campaign.
Only few hours into the campaign, it is already doing very well:

Hottest GIFs of Wet Women in Water
Some of the leading ladies of Hollywood get wet and wild as they get their splash on.
Some of the leading ladies of Hollywood get wet and wild as they get their splash on.
Keep your jaws off the floor as we watch the likes of Beyoncé, Kate Upton, Shakira Rosario Dawson and more shake their booties off.
Calling all guys! Here's a Kate Upton Alert! She makes an appearance in a new music video by Lady Antebellum with their song 'Bartender'.
Sports Illustrated just released behind-the-scenes footage of Kate Upton's 2011 body-paint photo shoot and holy cow, we really wish we had taken up painting.
Oh come on, it's not like you could really get tired of Kate Upton wearing bikinis, could you?
Brace yourselves, because we have found the 9 most incredible videos of boobs bouncing in slow motion. Gravity's a beautiful thing, isn't it?
This weekend, take a minute between your egg hunts and family gatherings to let the lovely and voluptuous Kate Upton remind you of the true meaning of Easter.
After eliminating dozens of our entries in the 100 Hottest Women of 2014, we have finally reached the summit.
Kate Upton, whom you've probably heard of, has done quite a bit of modeling for Beach Bunny Swimwear.
On paper, 'The Other Woman' sounds like the set-up for a low key domestic drama: Cameron Diaz plays a woman who realizes that the man in her life is already married. However, the trailer for the film immediately takes this premise in a very different direction, as Diaz and the spurned wife (Leslie Mann) team up to take down the lying man in their lives.
We have a special "Fat Tuesday" treat for you, and it's a lot better than any King Cake... Kate Upton naked... well, in a painted on bikini, so almost naked.

Cape Town - Springbok Eben Etzebeth was running at full tilt at the Stormers' training session in Bellville on Thursday, and is fit to lock the side's vulnerable scrum in their Super Rugby semi-final at Newlands next week.
"Eben is 100 percent fit and he's been match ready for a week now," said the franchise's coach Allister Coetzee.
Etzebeth, one of the finds of the 2012 Super Rugby season, was laid low by an ankle injury which kept him out of the game for several weeks.
More good news from the Stormers camp is that loose forward Duane Vermeulen resumed training after a knee injury which had him sidelined for the past two months.
However, he is not ready to participate in full contact sessions yet.
"It is a positive step for the Stormers that Duane joined us for training," Coetzee said.
"We'll have to watch his progress very carefully, and have to test him in situations at training to make sure he's ready to play a match."
Coetzee saw Vermeulen playing an integral role next weekend.
"There is no doubt that Duane can play a vital role for us," Coetzee said.
"If he is ready to play, it's more likely that we'll give him a run in the starting XV rather than bring him on as a substitute.
"It's easier to pull him off, if there's problem, than find out he's battling if he comes on as a substitute."
Coetzee said flank Schalk Burger is responding well to treatment for his knee injury, and that he is being tested on a daily basis.
"Schalk is not ready to join in team training but he's being tested all the time," he said.
Several players such as Peter Grant (flyhalf), Rynhardt Elstadt (flank) and Gio Aplon (wing) were notable absentees at training.
"Peter took a bump to his quadriceps muscle and we have to make sure that there's no swelling before he starts training again," said Coetzee.
"Gio and Rynhardt both need a break to keep them off their legs.
"Gio didn't suffer concussion in the last match and the fact that he was wearing protective head gear helped a lot. He is fully recovered.
"Gary van Aswegen also returned to training and we're pleased to have him back."
Coetzee said that it was a mistake to take a week's rest last season after the Stormers had reached the 2011 semi-finals.
"We didn't take a week off this time and will do the bulk of our training this week instead of waiting for Monday and the days ahead of the match," he said.
"This week it is all about focusing on ourselves and making sure that we are fully in sync with what we want to do.
"We want to play to our strengths rather than make a mistake of changing the way we are used to playing."

The lovely Nadine Dorries, Conservative MP for Mid Beds, is making her bid for blogosphere superstardom with a series of increasingly hysterical blog posts.
The other day, as she tried to defend herself over parts of her expenses claims, she was regaling readers with details of her marriage break-up, and how it led to her spending only a couple of days a week in her "main home". This was all very sad until you remembered that millions of people all over the country have to cope with divorce and separation without the taxpayer cushioning the blow with a nice fat cheque.
Yesterday she made a stir with her claim that some MPs were on suicide watch. The atmosphere was "unbearable" she wrote; "People are constantly checking to see if others are ok... If someone isn't seen, offices are called and checked."
Well, it's nice to know the honourable members are looking out for each other. Today there's more of the same:
What they are doing by taking out a few MPs a day, from all parties, not allowing them to defend their position, not printing what they say, shouting over them and doing this day after day after day amounts to a form of torture which any group of human beings would find difficult to bear.
As an ex nurse who managed on a measly salary I know how angry people are. The system has been wrong and scandalous. But everyone in the media and political world, other than those MPs like me who came in after 2005 knew about it. Therefore they are all culpable.
The truth may not be palatable and hard to swallow; however, it's the truth. Treating a group of people in this almost sadistic way is as appalling and has to stop.
The comment about MPs who came in after 2005 doesn't make much sense. In an earlier post she claimed that "MPs prior to 2005 were sat down and told 'this is your pot of money with your name on it, and our job is to make sure you have it as it's really part of your salary'." This, she thinks, means that "it was how it was done" and "MPs knew no different". But many of them clearly did know differently.
As for "everyone knew about it, therefore they are all culpable" - well, it's true enough that Lobby correspondents have long been too close to the political system for the health of the democratic process, and that for years questions were not asked that ought to have been asked. But the only people genuinely culpable are those MPs who claimed unreasonable allowances. And despite the daily drip-drip of revelations, that is only a minority. Not everyone asked for payouts on a phantom mortgage, claimed for his 'n' hers second homes, or used the "rules" to dodge capital gains tax. If it's wrong to tar everyone with the same brush, it's equally wrong to pretend that everyone is equally guilty.
But I'm most taken with Dorries' idea that making MPs face the embarrassing consequences of having their claims made public is a form of torture. If nothing else, it displays a remarkable capacity for self-dramatisation. It's hardly waterboarding, is it? And I'm sure they can cope. No-one goes into politics who doesn't have an abnormally thick skin - that's one reason why some MPs thought that asking taxpayers to fund their duck-islands, moat-dredging costs or "high-quality bookcases" was reasonable in the first place. If they are feeling uncomfortable at the moment it's no bad thing. Although looking at the immoveable smirk on the face of Hazel "totally unacceptable" Blears yesterday hardly didn't make me want to pick up the phone to Amnesty International.
And what does she mean by "a group of people", anyway? All politicians? Or just the ones who have been subject to the most searching questions? It's not entirely clear. Dorries' tendency to emote online doesn't always lend itself to rational analysis. She blogs more like a Californian cheerleader than a member of Parliament.
Hopi Sen thinks that, with her anti-abortionism, "woman of the people" style and effortless ability to embarrass the party she's the British answer to Sarah Palin. Most unfair. Palin was actually quite an effective governor before she was talent-spotted by the McCain campaign and it rather went to her head. She's also much better dressed.
The Telegraph reports today that David Cameron had slapped Nadine down. An unnamed senior source described her comments as "wacky". Now she responds, "Excuse me? Err, no he hasn't. What a corker."
She reveals that "the Telegraph has rang Central Office and asked them to ask them to remove my blog and not mention the contents of my blog on air, which I think, is very different".
Grammar obviously isn't her strong suit. Still, the poor girl's been under a lot of pressure lately. As to why the Telegraph wants her to remove her blog, presumably it has to do with various allegations about the Barclay twins, the paper's famously reclusive owners. For example, there's her suggestion that the "fiercely Eurosceptic" brothers are ordering the publication of the details as part of a dastardly plot to undermine Parliament, "with the hope that the winners will be UKIP and BNP". "A quick online check of the Barclay brothers and their antics on the Island of Sark is enough to give this part of the rumour credence" she continues. Alternatively, you could go through any number of back-issues of Private Eye. Then there's this fascinating stuff:
Another rumour is that the disc was never acquired and sold by an amateur, but it was in fact a long term undercover operation run by the Telegraph for some considerable time, carefully planned and executed; and that the stories of the naive disc nabber ringing the news desk in an attempt to sell the stolen information are entirely the work of gossip and fiction.
These rumours do have some credibility given that this has all erupted during the European Election Campaign and turn out is expected to be high with protest votes, courtesy of the Daily Telegraph, or should I say the Barclay brothers.
Now, if this is all a power game executed by the BBs, how would they do that?
It is a fact that these men are no fools and are in fact self-made billionaires.
I would imagine and believe that if any of this is true, they know the British psyche well enough to whip up a mood of public anger, hence the long running revelations in the DT.
Dorries seems to be trying to book herself an appointment with Mr Justice Eady.
Where does she get all these conspiracy theories? She explains that as "a cheeky scouser" she has made friends with some of "the faceless and nameless in Parliament". One in particular is "a mine of information";
He reckons this is all a power game. That the British public are being worked like puppets by two very powerful men. Whipped up into a frenzy to achieve exactly what they want.
His very poignant words to me were "if any of this conjecture is true, Parliament will become full of racists, fantasists, and has-been celebrities. We will be rendered impotent and may never again regain the authority to withstand the pressure, opinion and whims of the overtly wealthy."
Scary stuff!
Scary indeed. Though not quite as scary as the thought that Nadine Dorries is already a member of Parliament.

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
"Assault," meaning, a select-fire weapon in which the purpose is to throw a greater amount of lead at the target? The scenario defines the need, and any number of scenarios get dicey enough to justify the need to have more lead heading down-range. Ego doesn't seem to be a part of that equation. Shotguns are very good in this category. They're valued because of their ability to send more down-range. So are "machine" guns of all varieties. They have their place, much as shotguns do.Any "assault" style rifle would fall under this. 99% of us dont need these for self-defense, its a bragging rights gun and fuels the ego.
If the goal is survival and the threat is greater than a single attacker, or due to bad layout of and resulting poor ability to defend the space, then throwing more lead than one bullet per pull makes a lot of sense. Hence, "assault" guns. They're used worldwide for just such situations. They're also abused by criminals, as well, who also see the benefit.
YMMV but, in certain situations if I had the ability to send more lead down-range, then I would prefer to be able to do so.

A world tour as musical director with Roger Waters band then a European tour with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings might be difficult to top for most people - but not for Andy Fairweather Low.
Andy Fairweather Low's pedigree is the stuff rock dreams are made of. He first came to prominence at the vanguard of the new youthful expression of music as the lead singer in Amen Corner.
The 60s saw them clock up hit after pop hit. Songs such as 'Bend Me Shape Me', 'Hello Suzy', '(If Paradise is) Half as Nice' are internationally remembered to this day. But if you were paying close attention you might have picked up a clue in the magnificent 'Gin House' to Andy's future musical collaborations.
Since that time Andy has gone on to work with Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, David Crosby, The Band, Roger Waters, Richard and Linda Thompson, Dave Gilmour, The Who, BB King, Joe Cocker, Steve Winwood, Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Jimmy Page, Ronnie Lane, Linda Ronstadt, Roddy Frame, Emmylou Harris, Joe Satriani, the Bee Gees, Jeff Beck, The Impressions, Lonnie Donegan, Ringo Starr, Steve Gadd, David Sanborn, Benmont Tench, Warren Zevon, Charlie Watts, Mary J. Blige, Dave Edmunds, Georgie Fame, Bonnie Raitt, Otis Rush, Phil Collins, Van Morrison, Gerry Rafferty, Chris Rea, Buddy Guy, Chris Barber, Jackson Browne, Bill Wyman, Sheryl Crow, Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown, Pete Townshend... and hundreds more.
If you just remember Andy's early work and major solo hits such as 'Wide Eyed and Legless', you're in for a treat. A unique and superlative musical evening.

Hey there, first of all i'd like to apologize, I had no idea where to put this question so i simply put it here. I bought the new macbook pro with the retina display yesterday and have a few questions about how I can optimize maya with my new computer.
The problem i have is the resolution, I asume there's no special software for the retina display so I installed the regular autodesk maya, and it seems like the resolution is worse then it is on a "normal" screen. So my question is if, where and how i can change some kind of resolution setting so it isn't so "pixely". The whole programme is full of pixels, even the menues have a very bad resolution. I read something about native resolution but couldn't find it. Is that what im looking for? Would be great with help, a lot of the fun with maya disappear when it looks like this.
Best wishes, Carl

Margot Robbie Shows Off her Big Catch
Proving she is more than a pretty face, Margot Robbie showed off her fishing skills in a new picture posted to Instagram on Tuesday (April 22).
The "Wolf of Wall Street" beauty posed in a leopard print bikini while showing off her big catch from the coast of Nicaragua.
Despite the size of the fish, it appeared the actress let her finned friend off the hook after the photo, as it was captioned, "Fish are friends not food! #HappyEarthDay."
Next up for the Aussie actress is a role in the sci-fi flick, "Z is for Zachariah" alongside Chris Pine and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

How do I intentionally activate the Nook's screen saver? I'm talking about when you want to pack it away and don't want accidental touches to change what is on the screen?
Even better, also dim the screen.
If you tap the power button, it will shut the screen off. When you wake the device up using either the power or 'n' button, the slide lock will be engaged. Is that what you meant?

Peg Powler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Peg Powler is a hag from English folklore with green skin, long hair and sharp teeth who is said to inhabit the River Tees. She grabs the ankles of those who wander too close to the water's edge, especially naughty children, and pulls them under the water and drowns them; in Middleton In Teesdale this is referred to as the High Green ghost.[1][2][3] It is highly similar to the Dutch folklore figure Haantje Pik, the Slavic water spirit Vodyanoy, Kalle met de Haak from West-Flanders and the German water spirit Hastrman. Grindylows and Jenny Greenteeth are similar water spirits.

Yikes! This is what I was talking about in another thread. All this is hitting The US Country Chart Sun, too. This is why I'll try to come over late January- early February.
Also, Elsa, I realize this is confidential, but this chart has MC exactly conjunct The US country chart Pluto. Could mean that the place/area this chart is drawn for makes major news the very day of this person's SR. If I was this person, I'd consider relocating, if humanly possible, for at least the day.

Elsa said
@Candela - This person is in the UK.
@Oshum - YES!
Yes, I noticed this (I'm good with coordinates ), but didn't want to mention it in case it was confidential. But. Wow, that MC will hit US Pluto everywhere in The World in those 24 hours, right? I wouldn't be surprised if some big, US related, news came out from somewhere when one of the Grand Gross Planets hit MC there. Maybe it would be worth checking the time the conjunctions will be exact in Washington DC?

My mars is at 13 Aries in the 9th house. This is hell. Inner torture chamber... Ticking time bomb....simmerig volcano etc... I feel it already. It's hard being a pisces...why can't these mean planets leave me alone... Not really... I feel like if I roll with it, ill be liberated and free from oppression, but with Uranus, who knows the outcome? I sure dont.

My MC is 14 09 Aries.
Worrisome, because so much of my life is in flux, I'm looking to move in w/ a roommate in the next few months. I hope that the new roommate is a good person and that life at home (at least) can have some peace and quiet.
(either that, or I'll be in court at that point and it could be my reputation, such as it is, is impugned by my opponent)
Not sure I'm looking forward to the last week of April 2014 at all...

SHIIIIIIIIT, that is my 1st Pluto square. Natal Pluto in the 10th house, transiting Pluto in the 1st. Could this mean that I am transforming how I come across and bosses find this as a challenge?
Oh yeah, and natal Mars sits in my 7th house @ 17 Cancer. This date will definitely activate my natal Mars/Pluto square. It involves my 7th and 10th houses. I think I feel it already. Something inside me is realizing that I am capable of so much more in life than I ask of myself, and I also sense that my values/goals are not in line with my employer's on some level. But I also sense that I (at least on a superficial level) can be very comfortable with higher-ups. Auuggghh, I don't know what to think about this! LOL!
Monday, January 10, 2011
ohno! my friend is a 13' cancer sun. i'll be praying for him hope nothing bad happens, Jesus. his line of work is already pretty dangerous.
jupiter on his sun should be some protection
good thing we have some Jupiter involved in this mess!
((hugs to all 13 degree'ers!))

Message From the Alumni Director
"He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much." Luke 16:10
Grace In a Paperweight
In my recent travels to the East Coast, I picked up a couple of paperweights for the gals in my office. Beautifully inscribed on the top of each one was a quote from Mother Teresa: "God doesn't require us to succeed; He only requires that you try." The significance of this gift selection was intended to serve as reminder for them that they need not focus on perfectionism or perceived success, but rather on being faithful to that which the Lord has given them to do each day. Upon receiving this gift, with expressed appreciation, one of the gals said to me, "Now that's grace in a paper weight!" Grace: a beautiful gift and a beautiful reminder to us that even when we fall short, God still guides us, corrects us, restores us, and offers us great mercy at the top of each new day.
Fear of failure, weighted perfectionism, and overwhelming circumstances often prevent us from moving forward in what God has called us to do. Faced with challenges of defeat, sizeable task lists, and even feelings of insignificance and hopelessness, we lose ambition in contemplation of the value our small contribution brings.
Don't Underestimate the Small Things
We need not underestimate the importance of being faithful in what seems insignificant. Everything we have is a gift from God, stewarded to our care. Jesus tells us in Luke's gospel: "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much." He asks us to be faithful to that which He has entrusted to us – be it time, money, family, talent, or resources. For it is by faithfulness in the 'small' things that faithfulness in 'much' grows. Every moment of our lives, from the sublime to the mundane, presents a sacred opportunity for us to respond to God's call in faithfulness.
As I think about the students the Lord has brought to Multnomah this year, I'm reminded of Dr. Mitchell's prayer in asking "that God would bring to Multnomah those students He could entrust into our care." Please join us in praying that, as a faculty and staff, we would be found faithful with what the Lord has commended to us this year.
May He Find Us Faithful
My prayer for you would also be the same – that whatever He has committed to your care, in the same way, He would grant you the grace needed to find you faithful. May this reminder in Luke's gospel encourage us to be faithful in all things. For in our small steps of faith and obedience, we grow in faithfulness over much.
Being faithful in the small things,
Michelle M. Peel (MA'10, BA '00)

Where the Genio Qwerty really impresses us, for such a budget device, is its inclusion of the supposed-to-be-standard microUSB data and charging socket and 3.5mm headphone jack. The former means you've a good chance of finding a spare cable when in need of a battery boost, while the latter makes it easy to substitute the, surprisingly decent but bizarrely white, bundled headphones for your preferred set. Unfortunately, it's a mixed blessing as sound quality from the socket is compromised by a background hiss that's noticeable even in the bundled headphones – often budget phones suffer from noisy audio outputs but the bundled headphones are usually so poor that you can't make out the hiss. It's only a problem for quiet genres like classical or acoustic and should be drowned out easily by more poppy or rocky fare - it is still a minor annoyance though.
It's not just the headphones that don't quite hold up to scrutiny, the music player, while mostly easy to use stupidly orders songs by track name rather than track number so all your albums are out of order. This is particularly annoying as the phone includes a microSD slot so you can easily fit loads of music on it. At least the music does pause when you remove the headphones rather than playing through the speaker like on some phones.
Along similar lines the 2.0 megapixel camera that sits on the back is about as basic as they come. It's fairly quick in operation and in good light will generally get you a decent picture with surprisingly good colouration but you're unlikely to get anything useable in dimly lit environments. The lack of autofocus and flash also greatly limits your possibilities.
Also leaving a lot to be desired is the screen, which is a tad small, has a low resolution of 220 x 176, and mediocre viewing angles. Combined, these make the B3210 a bit of a strain to look at for any length of time. However, it's not significantly worse than many phones in this price range and given the functionality of this phone compared to other similar devices, it's understandable that money had to be saved somewhere.
Nice review - you seem a bit picky for something that only costs £59 though! Those are the same sort of complaints which you make about £500 phones. You say the camera is mediocre, yet it looks like it takes perfectly reasonable photos.
Cut the phone a bit of slack - I can't think of anything that offers value for money like this in the sub £60 price range.

actually...he's from little rock, arkansas.
True, maybe he learned a redneck thing or two from living in TN then :)
Thank you Deangelo, hope you finish out the contract and retire a Panther :rock: . Hope we use some cap savings this year to bring in either a RT or RG that can start.
Isn't Poole the) from Tennessee? If so, I believe he is with Dallas now.
No, we stashed him on IR last season.
So happy with this. Double Trouble!
this made my B in fuging management class feel OK
You know that Hurney has been telling people the contracts for Williams and Beason were demanded by Richardson, who adores both players. Presumably, Gettleman was able to get permission to restructure, maybe as part of his discussions before he took the job.
see do any of those offers for him get any better now.
Man this is the best off season move yet!!! YYYEEESSS!!! I'm really glad he's here and hopefully to retire a Panther. Now all thats left is to give him the ball, so that he we can have that top 10 back that we know he is.

My name is Megan and I have been given an AMAZING opportunity to go to Africa for four months starting January 13. My team and I are struggling financially and we could really use a lot of prayer. I ask that whoever stumbles upon this takes a few moments to ask our Father for a blessing over this awesome team. Despite our financial hardship, we are praying for unity, wisdom, and to help us love others as our Father loves us. THANK YOU!!
Standing with you in prayer!

My responsibilities included monitoring all investigations, civil processes, Detention Center staffing, and general patrol operations during the hours of 4pm to 12am daily.
1984 through 1986 I was assigned to investigations I investigated property, crimes against persons and other major cases within Wilkes County.
In December 1986, I was sworn in as Chief-Detective under Sheriff Fred Myers. From 1986 to 2001 remained Chief-Detective in charge of all investigations within Wilkes County.

Both n−6 and n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are recognized as essential nutrients in the human diet, yet reliable data on population intakes are limited. The aim of the present study was to ascertain the dietary intakes and food sources of individual n−6 and n−3 PUFA in the Australian population. An existing database with fatty acid composition data on 1690 foods was updated with newly validated data on 150 foods to estimate the fatty acid content of foods recorded as eaten by 10,851 adults in the 1995 Australian National Nutrition Survey. Average daily intakes of linoleic (LA), arachidonic (AA), α-linolenic (LNA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosapentaenoic (DPA), and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids were 10.8, 0.052, 1.17, 0.056, 0.026, and 0.106 g, respectively, with longchain (LC) n−3 PUFA (addition of FPA, DPA, and DHA) totaling 0.189 g; median intakes were considerably lower (9.0 g LA, 0.024 g AA, 0.95 g LNA, 0.008 g EPA, 0.006 g DPA, 0.015 g DHA, and 0.029 g LC n−3 PUFA). Fats and oils, meat and poultry, cereal-based products and cereals, vegetables, and nuts and seeds were important sources of n−6 PUFA, while cereal-based products, fats and oils, meat and poultry, cereals, milk products, and vegetable products were sources of LNA. As expected, seafood was the main source of LC n−3 PUFA, contributing 71%, while meat and eggs contributed 20 and 6%, respectively. The results indicate that the majority of Australians are failing to meet intake recommendations for LC n−3 PUFA (>0.2 g per day) and emphasize the need for strategies, to increase the availability and consumption of n−3-containing foods.

Furniture Guide: Rooms for Kids
Rooms for Kids
When you're searching for rooms for kids with the perfect look for your child's bedroom, its important to remember the very special and unique personality of your child. At Rooms To Go, we specialize in offering rooms for kids that are fun, safe and durable. Our rooms for kids offer the same quality craftsmanship, durability, and seamless room coordination that we've come to be known for with our adult furniture.
Rooms for kids can made up of any combination of a bed, dresser and nightstand really. For young rooms for kids, the bed would be replaced with a crib or a bassinette. Beds in toddler's rooms for kids, are often lower to ground and twin size. Although some parents go ahead an invest in a full size, or a double bed, in their rooms for kids, as soon as their child moves out of the crib, so they do not have to buy them a new bed five years down the road.
Rooms for kids, and rooms for boys and girls are often very different. Boys need a lot of space to play, so remember to give them that when choosing furniture for your rooms for kids. Little girls love pretty things, so remember to choose soft pinks, purples even blue and flowers in your girls' rooms for kids. For each parent, rooms for kids mean something different. You know your very special unique child and you will ultimately know how to choose the perfect rooms for kids.

Jamie1 Presents Nige with his Royal Rumble Review
Nigel. As promised here is my review for your Royal Rumble. First of all I have to credit you mate. I remember when you started this thread a while back now and a lot of people had high expectations for you and you have managed to live up to them with not much bother in all honesty so I congratulate you for that and I am looking forward to reading your first Rumble. I remember you telling me you were looking forward to writing this. Hope its better than Survivor Series but that would be hard
The opening promo thing. Dont know what too call it, LOL but I felt this was good and got us excited about the up coming event although you seemed to have a clip for every match that was on the card which is OK but I think you should have had more than one bit of footage for the World Heavyweight Championship match and the WWE. Now I know you had two footages for that but that is just a little thing I thought I would pick up on
Have too say though I liked how you ended it with a Wooooo by Ric Flair. Most people including myself ended my rumble with McMahon saying Wrestlemania so I liked this
Michael Cole and The Coach introducing us too the Rumble. I dont like that TBH and always think JR should do it as its more traditional and something I like too here when the old guy gets so excited about introducing us to the event. Anyway, nice build up from both sets of commentators and once again gets us built up for the event
Great way to open the show I have too say and a match that would get the crowd interested from the start. Good booking skills from such a small thing. Another thing I have to comment on is this CM Punk heel turn which due to me not reviewing as much I havent been able to comment on. I have to applaud you for it and say you done it very, very well as it first I doubted CM Punk would be a good heel. Anyway, onto the match itself. Right, This match was exactly as I expected and as exactly as I had hoped. It was a match you had to get perfect as it was opening one of the biggest events of the year and I think some people may even argue the biggest. The flow in the match was superb and it wasnt broke up a lot. Like D-K-L I liked how you started this match quickly. He said it wouldnt suit there rivalry you have going and I am not too sure but I just dont think it would suit they two superstars and the way they wrestle in the ring. A Whisper in the wind so quick was great and got the match exciting from the word go! I liked how the domination of each man sort of changed with both men hitting moves that you think could maybe get them the win with a few close pin falls. The ending of this match was your booking skills at the best and at the top as the way you ended it kept the rivalry as huge as it already was and keeps it open for a second match. When Sunny through the belt I wasnt sure what you were going too do and a lot of different possibilities were running through my head. I thought maybe she would run in and try and grab the belt of off CM Punk and accidentally hit Jeff. I thought of the finish which did happen and just other different things. I loved the wee nod from CM Punk and then the hit. Great way to end the match and a great way too kick off the show. A MOTN contender I wonder? Well how could it not be!
A decent segment here from Rated RKO I suppose thats what I can call them even though they arent a team anymore. TBH though I didnt think they were in the best of character and fell out of it quite a bit. Michael Shane, I really am not sure who this guy is so I cant judge him. Orton was good when he was saying he would beat John Cena. That was his usual character but sometimes you would have him drift out of what seemed like a cocky mood. Edge wasnt in great character also and I think he was worse than Orton but thats just my opinion. Also didnt like how Michael Shane was introduced to Orton and it was done in like a couple of lines. Would have liked to seen Orton stare at Shane a bit or something like that.
Now this is what I expect from you Nigel. This segment was great although the only bad thing was I didnt here Batista speak but just onto Ric Flair. He was in character all throughout this and it was just really great to read such a great segment. I am sort of confused. Is Shawn heel or is Flair just saying that because he is facing him. I would love too see Batista v Flair but I just cannot see it happening
The Cruiserweight championship match up next no surprises really here and the match I expected to be up. Its good as these type of matches are usually fast and entertaining which will keep the crowd interested. Not sure if it will be like our usual cruiserweight matches though with Chavo taking on Kenny but still should be good. Onto the match, I liked how you didnt start the match at a slow speed with lots of build up until the action started. You just got Chavo and went straight in there with a punch and the match started. Excellent there. Thats you done the first two matches starting at a very fast speed and its a good way to do it. Throughout the match I felt if flowed well. I do think there was too many close 3 counts though. Maybe should had at least a couple were the superstar kicked out not just before the 3 count was done. It is exciting though to have close 3 counts. Anyway, when I seen Kenny push the referee too the side I absolutely loved it. Its a lot better than the usual referee getting bumped into and he falls down and then the cheating starts too happen. This was a very original idea. Loved too see Kenny win in the way he did TBH as it always keeps a second match open for the next time. Well done!
I am going to be honest with you here. I was really, really surprised to see this segment as I remember you telling me you arent a fan of a superstar doing an interview before a match. So I was surprised but you have obviously changed your thoughts on that which I wouldnt be bothered about as I dont see anything wrong with a superstar doing an interview before his match and it happens IRL hell of a lot. Onto the interview itself I thought it was a decent interview and is just really to build us up for the next match. Shawn seemed in character throughout which was good too see and I loved the last few lines when he made it clear that he respects Batista but its all about the championship really. Thats basically what he said and that takes my thoughts away that HBK is heel. I didnt notice Cena came into this segment until I read back for some weird reason. This just added too the goodness of the segment TBH.
Without a doubt the best segment of the night so far with the Royal Rumble tumbler thingy involved. Kennedy and Chris Jericho. Two gods on the mic and two men with great talent. You know its set up for an awesome segment! Both men were in great character Nige and you got this segment down too a tee to say the least. I loved the confidence from Kennedy and then Regal sort of knocking it to the side and not really taking it in. Chris Jericho then coming into it and taking the mickey out of Kennedy. I loved Jerichos first line in this. Just complete and utter classic Jericho. I could see him saying that as I was reading. Great segment mate!
World Heavyweight Championship up next. Certainly should be good. Nice recap before it so that we can all remember how this match came about. I felt this match would start at a very, very slow speed or at least slow but once again you have went for the quick tempo. Didnt like how you got Batista out the equation really quickly. Even though it wasnt too be for a long time I still didnt like it and didnt like how he was put out the ring in all honesty. The match really didnt slow down after that but it did come to a steady tempo which was good for these three superstars. Edge getting a pin very early. Nice idea! I liked how Edge was on top from the start continuing from the last few weeks. As it seems the last few weeks Edge has been coming into this match the strongest so it was good too see you werent just going to chance this as we all know Edge would be high in confidence. Two pins straight away werent really near getting the 3 but I liked how you done this and that marked his authority. Nice move from Shawn to stop his dominance putting him too the outside and then taking him down with a Sling shot cross body!!! It looked like you were going to have HBK dominate for a while but after hitting Batista first Batista became stronger and it was good too see in such an early part of the match you had all three men have there dominance and showing to each other and the fans what they can do! Moving further into the match .The pin were Shawn split it up. I had my page so it ended there and I didnt know what happened. It was deliberate it was just thats were It was. So I really thought Edge had it until I went down and seen Shawn had split it up. Still great excitement through this match. After this the match really picked up. There was a spell were I said to myself unbelievable and could tell IRL it would get so many people excited. When Shawn went to hit with the sweet chin music but Batista ducked. I was expecting Batista then too hit with the Batista bomb but when I seen the spine buster I felt that was a better idea. Then we have the heel intentions of Edge come into it. Pulling the tights of his opponent. So glad to see Batista kick out
The next spot of the match was also awesome. Another spine buster from an angry Batista and then the Batista Bomb but NO! Shawn Michaels hits with the super kick and goes for the pin. Will he win it? NO! Edge pulls him away. Amazing once again. Edge going back on top when he ducked from the super kick and hits with one of his own finishers but still no winner and another close pin. Right Edge hits with the spear, The match is over. Is it, NO! absolute amazing stuff here Nige. This is definitely you at your best work with this match. Finally the match ends a few close pins later. Shawn Michaels retaining was great too see and it was a real great finish. I had my opinion that Shawn would walk out as champion but the way Edge started and then the way Batista picked up and with all the close calls I really wasnt sure. Great match and by far MOTN so far. It will take a lot for even the rumble to beat that. Trust me!
Another segment here coming off that great match. Hopefully its a good one! Like I said I was hoping for a good segment but I wasnt expecting it too be this bloody good. Real excellent stuff and once again in this pay-per-view you are proving to me why you are considered one of the best here! I liked how Vince, Shane and JBL. Have to say its weird JBL calling Vince dad although I can remember the tremendous build up and when the announcement actually came. That was great stuff in this thread. But like I was saying I loved how JBL, Shane and Vince were all considering what they will do and then Linda comes in from the back of them. Shane jokes he is happy to see Linda really and Linda tells him too shut up. Excellent stuff. I have to say, you got Lindas character IMO to the best you possibly could. Her saying Vince a lot was something she usually does and despite her delivering such bad news she done it in a way were it seemed she was so innocent
Another segment. It will be hard to beat the previous one but lets see if you can manage it. Triple H and CM Punk. That could be a dream match in the making IMO. I dont see CM Punk or Triple H winning the rumble so a title match at Mania between Punk and Triple H. The IC Title I mean. Anyway, this segment was definitely not as good as the previous and I didnt like how it started TBH. Triple H said he would throw 29 other asses out including yours. Maybe its just me or did that not make much sense. Anyway the rest of the segment was decent with both men being in character although its quite hard too tell CM Punks character. Liked the stare off at the end and Sunny slating Stephanie!
I really thought it would be hard to beat the opening match of the night as I thought that was great but still thought you could beat it. This was proved when I read the World Heavyweight Championship match and I then thought that was MOTN but after reading this match I change my mind again. Unbelievable. This is the first match you havent started at a real fast tempo and you have brought the trash talk into it which I like and in all honesty I dont think these two could handle a very, very fast paced TLC Match. Anyway, I wasnt sure who would win but it really looked like you were giving Cena the major push and he was the dominant force I felt and was dominating Orton. I was going to comment on at first you not using the steel chair enough but how much you used the other two weapons it doesnt matter. I loved the power slam onto the ladders leaning on the ropes. Great move and you could see it being a mark out spot. Three spots were someone went through a table as well. The first one probably being the least exciting. The super slam of the ladders near the start of the match also. There were so many huge spots in this match and there were none that shouldnt have been there. I also need to say I liked it when the steel chair would get used to smack the superstar going up the ladders but he wouldnt fall. That was a very realistic move and I dont think a lot of people would do it. I think most people would have them roll about after it. So that was good too see TBH. The monitor over Ortons head. I could really go on and talk about so many big moments in this match. The RKO through the table too finish the match off really was another awesome move and well deserving of finishing off any match. MOTN by far Nige and you are proving to me once again as I have said already. Why you are so great
A segment right before the Rumble was a good idea as I dont think there has been a great amount of build up too the main event. That may sound stupid but I think this was done well. MVP was in great character and Matt Hardy also seemed in character. I really dont know who will win but I dont see any of these two for the time being!
Like some other people said Nige I am not going to go through and review each wee bit of the match as it would be like telling you the story you already know but what I will do is give an overall review off the whole thing. You had to start the match with a few good superstars and thats what you did. You got two big guns in Umaga and Lashley before bringing in Kofi Kingston which was good too see and gives us a different element in the match already. When Triple H came into the ring you were right too get someone eliminated by him straight away and bring his dominance into the match. I was thinking to myself you need to get a huge superstar into the match soon as it was taking a while but you finally did and they dont get much bigger than Triple H! Santino getting the first elimination was disappointing TBH but you get a real good segment out of him talking about that. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! The big red machine Kane is back. I absolute love it, I didnt see there until I read again that he is masked. What will be his reason now but anyway, what a surprise for the show! 3 men out already. Absolute excellent too see three jobbers chucked out the ring and it reminded me of the year were Kane just started eliminating people left, right and centre. Him and The Big Show do it quite a lot. Harry Smith out by Kane thats his fourth person and I am sure there will be more. The Undertaker not coming out so long after Kane was a good idea and there should now be fireworks in the ring. I said I wouldnt do this sort of review but its hard, LOL
. You really started to get some bigger or more talented wrestlers into the ring with Dykstra, Jeff Hardy, Ric Flair and Rey Mysterio. Good to see. Also need too comment on how I liked it that you had Chavo eliminate Dykstra too keep that feud alive and showing that you want too. Kane eliminating him straight after was also good and I believe that is 5 eliminations now. Kane slowly becoming the favourite to win this match but I can see someone putting him out as a sort of shock move! Maven to the Undertaker, that sort of idea. Theres a lot of people in the ring but not a lot of people eliminated TBH. I had actually forgot about Umaga but I am now glad to see he eliminated someone as you cant have a monster like that do nothing. You kept another feud going with CM Punk eliminating Jeff Hardy. That was also good too see. The Undertaker getting his first elimination followed by Triple H and then Umaga got his second. Triple H I had also forgot about really. The Nature boy gets two elimination. That deserves a wooooooo. Here is Shane and MVP. MVP got a good high number. Wasnt expecting it and Shane In at 30. He surely cannot win it, can he? Shane is out of there after a few eliminations. Great too see it done by the Game, Triple H. Ric Flair is out now disappointed. I loved the next part and once again you showed how to develop feuds in the rumble match. JBL getting eliminated but then taking Triple H out. Glad to see you had both men fight and brawl with each other after there eliminations because if you hadnt. It would have just took away the fun of it. Its down too The Undertaker and Kane after Umaga getting chucked out. He lasted a while in there with only two eliminations or something. Quite disappointed he only got that but anyway. Kane won the fucking match. TBH during the match I was thinking it must be him the way he was dominating and because of the return with the mask and such. I knew you wouldnt have The Undertaker win also but I am expecting a Kane v Undertaker main event at Mania with Undertakers legacy being broken. Very early prediction but who cares.
Overall/ I dont know if it was the best pay-per-view I have read, hell I dont know if it was the best I have read of yours as that Survivor Series would take some beating but If I did have to choose I would say this was better. Despite a bit of criticism at the start, the pay-per-view really got interesting with some great segments like The Vince, Linda one and we had real great matches. If I am being honest I think the WWE championship was better than the rumble and the World Heavyweight Championship wasnt far away from being better. I would give it around 96/100 which is pretty good, eh

Google is your friend. OK has a gov web site that answers your question but it is vague.
As I understand, OC is legal with a state issued concealed weapons permit. They do honor other states permits but the way I read their actual law, only residents of OK may OC with a permit.
I visit friends in OKC regularly, which happens to be a retired detective up there. When there, I only carry concealed.

I'm getting $6.00 for a pint with no trouble but that's in a glass mason jar that costs about $0.75Dave
Sorry everyone.It's time. I'll sit back and cool down for a little while and maybe get my thoughts a little straighter, then I'll post my thread in the intro section and explain my views on why I came over here to the Beemaster site. I really thought I was getting away from some of this by coming over here from the other site. It's time we all had a talk about how we treat new members. What's the deal?? Did I end up on the wrong site?__________I'd like to see that NOT happen.As with any other time, I'll admit that I very well could be a little off. I'll try and keep an open mind. I will however say this though:Anytime we say things in such a way as to make a new member want to stop posting, we've done something wrong. I don't care if it was was lack of tact, too much pressure, or whatever. Maybe we can save it for established members. I took your jest toward me as just that - pure jest.However, when I see us (as a forum) cause someone to not want to post anymore, I feel that we've misbehaved a bit.

I myself do not see a problem if he sells that cheap. This summer I made the farmers market every Saturday and developed a good customer base that began to return on a regular basis. I was selling 1/2lb for $2.50, alb for $4, and alb for $8. About 1/2 way through the summer there was another beekeeper show up for 3 or 4 weeks in a row. She was selling her honey for about half of what I was. She was asking something like $2.50 a lb. for hers. After a few weeks she came over after the market closed and said she noticed I had several customers and that she hardly had any. I assumed-she was priced higher, once I discovered she was so cheap it only proved that if you stick to your guns and develop that beekeeper and customer basis they will buy your honey. Its no diff than if one gas station was selling gas for $1.95 and the one across the street was selling gas for $1.30. Would you scold and crucify the cheaper station? No most everyone if not everyone would love the cheaper station. Whats the difference in gas and honey other than you are the one charging more. You always have to remember there are two sides to each coin.


text: TORONTO, June 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Tucows Inc. (NYSE AMEX:TCX, TSX:TC), a global provider of domain names and other Internet services, today announced that its mobile phone service Ting would unveil a shared data plan on February 2, 2012, four months prior to this announcement. "Putting multiple devices on one plan was pretty straightforward," explained Ken Schafer, EVP Products, "the main challenge was figuring out the time travel part." Starting February 2, 2012, Ting customers will be able to share data, as well as voice and texts, across unlimited devices on one account. Each active device will cost just $6 a month. The value gets better as the total usage increases, amounting to huge potential savings for businesses and families. There are never any overage penalties or premiums and there are no limits or fees on features like tethering. "Again, we think this just makes sense for mobile phone users," explained Tucows CEO Elliot Noss. "People are wasting a ton of time and money on multiple accounts." "I think we showed tremendous initiative and hustle by launching this in the past. It appears our competitors will be following suit in the near future." While the Ting announcement actually comes a day after the big shared data plan announcement from Verizon, the Ting plan itself will precede Verizon's June 28 launch by nearly five months. Check out the Ting blog at ting.com/blog for the complete story, the Ting plans at ting.com/plans for more details on rates and features and the Ting savings calculator ting.com/calculator to see how much money you could be saving. Noss also hinted at plans to launch a shareware site.

"at the flywheel"
dyno HP is at the wheels. The WRX has about 20-30% Drivetrain losses mattering on the dyno (more realistic end is 30%). This means that although they say 227hp from the factory, it only hits about 165whp. Both numbers are right, they just measure at different places
Cobb's map notes list the gains in flywheel horsepower and their dyno graphs are, of course, dyno graphs. This is the difference.
Yeah--I was more concerned with the veracity of the dynograph claim, considering that they state 7-ish hp in one area, and 28% gain in the other.
Also take into consideration no 2 cars react the same to the same mods even when sitting in the same garage. I know this is still a big open thing and I see where you are getting at with the Cobb notes. I didnt really get caught up in the numbers myself, just happy there was a noticable difference when I flashed stage 1 to my 07.
you're misreading the information if you think stage 1 is only a 1hp and 7lb-ft gain.
it has lots of maps, it has realtime monitoring, it improves your fuel economy, it smoothes your power curve, and it gives more gains than just peak numbers.
but yes, your WHP won't go up drastically when you still have a crappy ass downpipe on the car.
tnot, you are an absolute bafoon if you think that the awhp numbers associated with any car make a difference in what the actual car drives/ or FEELS like.
Secondly, you are clearly new to this, so i suggest reading, and actually listening. I personally do not give a shit what numbers you get with a "stage one tune", furthermore, it is not going to turn your car into any sort of monster, or make it run with an STi-like feel.
Also, go right ahead, and assume that you will be successful with open source tuning, I have been, so why not you, right? WRONG! open source is a very volatile thing in the wrong hands, and email tuning is usually hit or miss, and very time consuming, with a lot of guesswork.
Basically, you need to think about what you are doing, and what the hell you want to do. If you are staying at this so called "stage 1", save your money, the car runs decent stock, stage 2 needs a decent tune, but do not think for one minute that because it is expensive, that it works well, just do your homework.

The effort collected just under 300 pounds for the Eastern Upper Peninsula Feeding America Food Pantry. From left are Melissa Lehmann, Justin Dieck, Don Hiltz, and Jayne Meinhard. (LSSU/John Shibley)

The clearance rate of 70% dropped sharply from the 2006 figure of 84%.
A Quiet American filly out of Laiyl (Ire) (Nureyev) bought for $140,000 at Keeneland September by Colonial Partners topped the evening when selling for 370,000gns to agent Gill Richardson.
Offered from Kip Elser's Kirkwood Stables, she had arrived in Newmarket in late March.
Agents James Delahooke, Richard Brown and Paul Webber were among those to try for the filly but Richardson finally outbid Hamdan Al Maktoum's racing manager Angus Gold.
U.S. sires accounted for six of the top nine lots with a Johannesburg colt, who made 130,000 euros at Goffs in October, making 310,000gns when reoffered from Con Marnane's Co Tipperary-based Bansha House Stables.
Agent Jamie McCalmont, standing with trainer Jeremy Noseda, eventually won a long battle for the colt with Kuwaiti owner Saleh Al Homaizi the underbidder. McCalmont signed for another to show a handsome profit, a Hawk Wing colt bought for 40,000gns at Tattersalls in October by locally-based consignor Emma O'Gorman and resold for 190,000gns.
A 230,000gns Dynaformer colt out of Perfect Drift's (Dynaformer) half-sister Gypsy (Marfa), who was bought for $160,000 at Keeneland September, is set to remain in Newmarket after selling to agent Amanda Skiffington, buying for trainer James Fanshawe.
The sale concludes Wednesday night.
