New card will likely be the most powerful solution on the market when it lands late this month
The AMD/ATI
success story
in the GPU sector has shown little signs of fading with the transition from the 4000 series to the 5000 series. Continuing its competitive pricing,
AMD's 5870, 5850, 5770 and 5750
, the world's first
DirectX 11 GPUs
, are all showing strong sales in their respective price ranges, leaving NVIDIA in a painful wait for its Fermi series to reach market readiness.
Now AMD is reportedly preparing to take the single-card performance crown, currently held by the GTX 295 away from NVIDIA, with the release of a dual GPU single-slot, single-printed circuit board solution. Codenamed
, the card was initially named 5870 X2, a designation that was reportedly scrapped in favor of the name HD 5970.
what may be the first images of the new card and it looks to be a beast in every way. Measuring 13.5 inches (34.29 cm) long, the prototype 5970 has no reason to feel insecure -- after all, it's endowed with presumably the longest PCB on a mass-produced graphics card to date. It's reportedly a struggle to fit the card inside even full size tower cases like the Antec 1200. It is unknown if these dimensions will carry over to the production card.
The leaked card was perhaps running the leaked Catalyst 9.11 drivers, as the version number in CPU-Z was listed as 22.214.171.1248 for the Direct3D driver, versus 126.96.36.1990 on Catalyst 9.10. Benchmarks showing the card trouncing the NVIDIA GTX 295 in performance were aired then quickly removed at AMD's request. If these benchmarks holds true, it appears that AMD will wrest the title of having the most powerful single-card solution, at least temporarily, from NVIDIA.
A few scraps of information remained after much of the info was pulled -- apparently the fan will run at 4700 rpm under load. And the card uses one 8-pin and one 6-pin power connector. Pictures also remained posted
According to previously released information, the card will launch late this month and will likely hold the performance crown until NVIDIA launches its DirectX 11 offerings. The card is expected to feature 2 GB of GDDR5 memory and a thrid-party PCI-E bridge, similar to Radeon HD 4800 X2 cards. DisplayPort, DVI, and HDMI connections are all included, as would be expected.
Accompanying the HD 5970 will be a dual-GPU variant of the 5850, dubbed the HD 5950. No pricing has been announced, but thus far AMD has been very aggressive with the pricing of its 5000 series.
According to
, NVIDIA's Fermi, which has been delayed already, won't reach general availability until, at the earliest,
. That means that for the holiday season, it appears that the highest end solutions will likely carry the HD 5970 and HD 5950. However, it is rumored that AMD may have supply issues with the HD 5950 and HD 5970 in the first months of availability, so don't count on your HD 5970 dream machine until it arrives.

The Obvious Game (edition 2013)
by Rita Arens
Work details
The Obvious Game by Rita Arens
No current Talk conversations about this book.
"I was terrified of never feeling happy
again. I was scared of losing Jesse. I was scared of killing myself. I didn't know if I could stop. I didn't know if I could not stop.
I didn't, actually, know anything about myself. "
I didn't actually know what to expect when I first read the blurb of The Obvious Game, so when I knew that it was mainly about anorexia, I was a bit pessimistic. I never read any anorexia-related novel before. But this book totally changes my perceptive. And I glad it did.
The Obvious Game told us about the everyday life of Diana Keller, how she struggled with her mother who had cancer, how she kept up with her friends Amanda, and how she dealt with her past as an overweight kid and was mocked because of it. But when Jesse, a new boy from Kansas City, moved in, everything suddenly changed for Diana. That's when her past decided to come back and haunt her once again. And this time, she had to choose, whether to fight it, or run away from herself.
The plot of this book was actually quite great. It was fast-paced, and I like how not one part was meaningless and sagging, but rather advancing the story even more. Every chapter ended in such an interesting way it made the readers craved for more and more, curious about how it all would ended. I love how the problem seemed to pile up more and more, creating a great tension, and then it all resolved in such a beautiful way. The ending was satisfying too, with all problem solved, and all well ends well. And the concept for The Obvious Game, the game which was originally between Diana and her friend Seth of stating the obvious thing, was quite funny and original as well.
Diana Keller, as our main character, was actually pretty believable. I could totally feel her emotion throughout the book, when she was happy, sad, struggling with her life, etc. She was not all perfect too, which made it easy for readers to relate to her. One thing I loved very much from her was that she represented teenage girls these days perfectly. As a teenage myself, I could really feel what she feel, and yes, everyday we live with insecurities of not being good enough for the society. And Diana sounded just like a true teenage girl.
Jesse, Diana counterpart as well as her first love, was well-developed as well. I love how he could understand Diana's situation perfectly, because he too, had a brother who died from cancer. And not like any other male protagonist out there, Jesse didn't stick around when things got rough, which may be insulting for some readers, but interesting to me actually. It's just so like the real world, where not many people might stick up when his girlfriend got into trouble. I love how Arens made her characters pretty flesh and bone and not just following the stereotypes.
Lin, Diana's soon-to-be friend, was very likable as well. She didn't have any major part early on the book, but when things start to get rough for Diana, the world eventually shown her who her real friend truly was, and that was when Lin started to be something in Diana's life. I love how she was so mature and composed, and she accepted things the way it is, with no complain and whatever.
One thing I'm not quite fond of this book was the character of Amanda, Diana's friend.
Even though most of the character of this book was shaped perfectly with believable flaw and personality, Amanda totally was another story.
I didn't really like her, mainly because she was simply a brat. she did anything however she want, and she totally didn't care about anyone around her. She also acted without thinking first, and then apologized later like it was no big deal, when she didn't know how big the damage she had cause. it's actually okay for an annoying best friend to have this trait, but what made it hard to like her was that she didn't have any redeeming trait at all.
Overall, if you would like to read something that deals with teenage's world : their life, love, insecurities, friendship, betrayal, and a whole lot more, you should definitely give this a try.
The Good Stuff
This one was a real challenge for me to read as it is way too close and personal. It's funny how I can speak so openly about wanting to kill myself while suffering with post partum depression but the thought about even discussing this makes me break out in sweats. This girl was almost me and it hurt to read about those same emotions I had and all the stupid shit I used to do to my body. I was very lucky that it never got this far, but I won't lie, it was very close. Even to this day, I am a healthy slimish girl, but will always see my self as the fat girl I used to be
Heartfelt, honest and realistic
Nice uses of humour at just the right moments
nice mentions of faith without being too preachy
Realistic scenes of teenage life
For anyone who has ever suffered from this type of disorder you will understand how true to life this tale is (For example I also cut up all the pictures of me when I was overweight)
hopeful message
Parents are realistic and damaged but never hurtful or stupid like in many YA novels
This isn't your preachy issue book like some of the stuff I read back in high school but a raw and honest account of all the emotions and actions of someone who is suffering. No tied up neatly after school special type of story
The Not So Good Stuff
There are some spots were it jumps around and is disjointed. Hard to explain this late at night but there were a couple of spots were I had to go back a couple of pages to reread and make sure I hadn't missed something (but take this with a grain of salt -- I am a speed reader and this happens quite frequently to me)
Man if Amanda was my friend I would slap that self involved narcissistic girl right across the face
Very raw at times that I felt myself tearing up and wanting to hug the old teenage me
Favorite Quotes/Passages
"Plus, people don't really notice when you're doing half the time anyway. They're too busy worrying about themselves."
"The first cut felt smooth, the blades slicing through gleaming photo paper, just the right amount of resistance. I took quite a bit off my butt and thighs, slightly less around my calves. My breathing slowed as I worked, as though my transformation were already happening."
"Everyone trusted me. Good old dependable Diana. Which was why most people didn't notice at first that I was in trouble."

I received this from Rita Arens in exchange for an honest review
I have read a few novels that center around eating disorders, but this story is told a bit differently. What makes The Obvious Game stand out to me is that the main character, Diana, does not start out with this problem. She turns to self induced hunger as an aspect of her life that she can control. As her life seems to get more unwieldy and emotionally wracking, the sources of which are out of her domain, she starts reaching for something - a goal - that she can have complete control over. For her, that means not being the "fat girl" anymore. This strive to be skinny, to leave her past behind, to finally be in charge of what happens to her, becomes an obsession. An addition - an illness - which may just take everyone around her down with her.
The novel starts out dated in the early nineties. Honestly, this confused me. The reader is given a specific date, and I kept looking for a reason for this to be relevant. Was there a specific event that happened in that year? Will we get a "ten years later" or something like that towards the end? It wasn't until my interview with the author ( which you can see here ) that I understood what the author was going for. She wanted a time period where Diana wasn't plugged in all the time. Her friends and parents couldn't constantly call or text her. It was time where secrets were easier to hide, and consequentially, help was harder to find. I wish I made this connection on my own, because looking back, I really do see how it adds to the story.
The actual obvious game is when people talk to each other only by saying obvious statements. For instance, if we were having a conversation right now, I would say "I am writing a blog post." To which you would say, "I am reading your review". This doesn't seem like much, but the way in which it is entwined into the story is really well done. The obvious game means something different to each of the characters, and it really seems like another character in itself. For something so silly, it carries a lot of weight in the story. It is both comedic relief for the reader, as well as an odd symbol of hope for Diana. She teaches the game (accidentally) to her love interest, and she wants him to be able to relate, for it to mean as much to him as it does to her. But it isn't his game. The game has ties to Diana and her best friend. Ironically, it is probably the one stable factor in her life, but she just can't see that.
My criticism with this novel is that I was not too keen on Jesse, the new kid/friend/boyfriend figure. I understand the need for some romance to lighten up the very dark plot, but I did not find him likable. He fulfills his role for the evolution of Diana, but I'm not quite sure if it was in the way that was intended. I never saw him as a source of light for Diana, but rather an entity adding to the disfunction and disappointment of her life. I saw him as a figure pushing her towards her eating disorder, not pulling her away from it. Again, I'm not sure if this is intentional, but he does have his role.
Overall, this was an enlightening novel. Previous novels I've read with this subject matter usually take off with the disorder in full swing, giving the reader insights into its origin through flashbacks. Being able to see the triggers and the progression of her anorexia helped me to better understand the disease and become a little more sympathetic to it.

Praise for The Obvious Game:
"Lovely, evocative, painful and joyful all in one ... much like high school." -- Jenny Lawson, author of LET'S PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED

"THE OBVIOUS GAME is a fearless, honest, and intense look into the psychology of anorexia. The characters--especially Diana--are so natural and emotionally authentic that you'll find yourself yelling at the page even as you're compelled to turn it." -- Coert Voorhees, author of LUCKY FOOLS and THE BROTHERS TORRES
"Let's be clear about one thing: there's nothing obvious about THE OBVIOUS GAME. Arens has written a moving, sometimes heart-breaking story about one girl's attempt to control the uncontrollable.

"THE OBVIOUS GAME explores the chasms between conformity and independence, faith and fear, discoveries and secrets, first times and last chances, hunger and satisfaction. The tortured teenage experience is captured triumphantly within the pages of this unflinching, yet utterly relatable, novel. - Erica Rivera, author of INSATIABLE: A YOUNG MOTHER'S STRUGGLE WITH ANOREXIA

WASHINGTON — The Ukraine Ministry of Defense, fighting a war with Russian-backed separatists in the East, has sent three battalions from its national guard to train with the US Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in the western town of Lviv. The training emphasizes battlefield medicine, tactics to counter improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and basic tasks like reacting to an ambush and clearing a building.
A third to half of the Ukrainians have served in the combat zone, where they would have gained experience their US counterparts lack. Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, commander of US Army Europe, has said the US ground forces can also learn from the Ukrainians and offered a fairly positive assessment of the Ukrainian effort.
"No Americans have been under Russian artillery or rocket fire or been on the receiving end of significant Russian electronic warfare, the jamming and collecting, for example, not tactical levels," Hodges said. "These Ukrainians have, and so it has been interesting to hear what they have learned. I have been extremely proud of how well the training is going."
In late July, the training paused to accommodate Exercise Rapid Trident, which included 1,800 personnel from 18 countries at the International Peacekeeping and Security Center in Yavoriv, Ukraine.
Q. Analysts have characterized Ukrainian forces as ill-equipped. What's your assessment?
A. First, I have been very impressed with the earnestness of the Ukrainian military to fix their institutional shortcomings and to improve their capabilities.
I saw something [at Rapid Trident] that was very compelling. The chief of the Ukrainian Army, Lt. Gen. [Anatoliy] Pushnyakov — this is during the DV [distinguished visitors] day, when you have all of these various senior visitors in there. Frankly, people don't tend to ask really hard questions because they do not want to embarrass a general officer from another country with a difficult question. Here you had the chief of the Ukrainian Army, and he brought five officers who had recently served at the front. Each officer stood in front of this group of people from 18 countries and described their experiences and lessons learned. It was very impressive and something that blew out all of the stereotypes of their technical capability, their willingness to do critical self-analysis and to talk about it in public. It was one of the most professional things I have ever seen of any army. They were very candid, showing "we were not prepared to do this, but here is how we adapted," and particularly said the Russians have provided so much artillery, so much electronic warfare and UAVs all over the place. The Ukrainians have had to adapt in terms of their communications, their avoid-and-detection and their ability to respond to the Russians and the Russian-supported rebels.
Q. Has corruption at the Ministry of Defense, currently or in the past, been a factor?
A.Ukraine used to have one of the largest defense industries in Europe and one of the largest militaries in Europe, but under the Yanukovych and Shevchenko regimes, there was so much corruption that I think the institutions were probably hollowed out. You had vehicles but you did not have parts or fuel, and even the recruiting stations were shut down. What I have seen under President [Petro] Poroshenko is an attempt to address that and fix that because without a strong institution, you cannot put a quality unit in the field. You have to have a ministry and an institutional army that can recruit, train, provide equipment, provide spare parts, do maintenance, training ammunition, make sure you are going to get paid on time, barracks installations — that is all hard work. I am seeing a very strong effort to do that.
I met a Ukrainian member of the Rada [Ukraine's parliament] who is interested in making sure that the Rada has oversight of the military. The fact that the Rada is looking for legislative oversight, I think, is an indicator of what the Ukraine is trying to do in terms of transparency. I am not trying to oversell them or sugarcoat, but these are the indicators that I see during my interactions with them. It is a level of transparency that you would expect to see with the United States.
Q. Where do you see the most pressing need for the Ukrainian military to modernize or reform?
A. For the institutional Army to continue to produce the officers and NCOs — to generate the formations. Last year when we did Rapid Trident, they would not pull any of the units out of the front to do the exercise because they thought they had to have everybody there. So the only people that they provided were cadets and military candidates. This year they had a battalion. Then they pulled out three MoI battalions to train, and now they are going to pull out five Army battalions to train beginning in November — another sign of professionalism that you recognize that even during conflict, you still have to conduct training and re-training.
The Russians have put so much ammunition and so much rocket and artillery, Russian command and control, Russian intelligence. They are jamming all the [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe] UAVs. It makes it impossible for OSCE to do its job on the Russian side of the line of contact for the Minsk Agreement. The border between Eastern Ukraine and Russia is wide open and completely unmonitored. Even with all of that, the Ukrainians, it looks to me, have been able to stop any further serious expansion by the rebels, and there is still continuous fighting that is going on along that line. I do not know how this going to play out there over the next two or three months.
Q. Do you hear from the Ukrainians what kind of weapons or non-lethal aid they would want?
A. The way that process normally works is that it goes from the nation, through the embassy, up to the US government. They have talked about UAVs and weapon systems, counter-fire radar, secure communications, those kind of things, continued medical support. I think the actual list is probably public.
For me, with the lethal aid, the US policy is what it is, and so my job is to make whatever the policy is as effective as possible. That means making sure that we are providing the best possible training, and looking for everything that we can do that is in accordance with policy that helps Ukrainians protect themselves and defend their country.
This is not happening in a vacuum. What is happening in the Ukraine is not the issue. The issue is what Russia is doing. So even though Ukraine is not a NATO country, what happens there does impact the EU, it does impact NATO because it is about Russia and the security environment in Europe. So the US, correctly, is going to formulate and implement policy, taking into consideration the views of other European countries. We want to see the Minsk Agreement work, which is why it is so frustrating that the Russians will not allow OSCE, of which they are a member, to do its monitoring mission, which came out of the agreement.
Maintaining alliance unity is very important here. The EU maintaining the sanctions is very important, and I think Germany has done a great job providing leadership here. These are paramount, so whether or not to provide weapons is not a strategy. I am not saying it is wrong or right, but that is not a strategy. That is a step in a strategy, and we need to think through how do we — EU and NATO — what do we want the environment to look like in Europe.
Q. And what's the answer?
A. I think we all want Russia to come back into the international community. Russia has an important role to play in many places, but nobody thinks it is OK to use force to change the internationally recognized sovereignty of European countries, and the Ukraine is a European country everybody recognized, including Russia. It is only Ukrainians that have died with an EU flag in their hand; they have made their European choice.
Q. I have heard Ukrainian defense officials say theirs is the war of the future. Can you talk about that and the electronic warfare [EW] situation?
A. When I was there about a month ago, I had noncommissioned officers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade telling me how impressed they were with the skill and experience of so many of the Ukrainians who have been under Russian artillery rocket fire, and been on the receiving end of electronic jamming and collection and so on.
We have provided them with the lightweight counter-mortar radar, and they were very, very effective in employing that. In fact, they used it in ways that we had not used it ourselves, and discovered that it made it more effective than I think we knew was possible. Of course, the Russians immediately started targeting it because they realized the Ukrainians had a capability that was helping them.
They are very professional, they have a lot of officers that are well trained, and they clearly have the technical [ability] to employ any monitoring equipment. If they say the Ukraine would not know how to use the [AN/TPQ-36 Firefinder] radar, that is an absolute myth. They would have no problem and could be trained on it very quickly.
Q. What has the US learned from the Ukrainians?
A.What we have learned from them is what it is like, the amount of jamming capability from distance as well as types that the Russians have employed. The Russians continue to develop their conventional, high-end, electronic warfare capability. It is something that we used to do but over the last 10 years or so have been focused on the terrorism, counter-insurgency, and that sort of signals intelligence, while the Russians continued further down the road of high-powered jamming. They can bring down UAVs; they can make it difficult to communicate. So that is something that we have an opportunity to learn from them. Now that UAVs are ubiquitous, it changes a little bit how you avoid detection from the enemy so you do not get hit with their long-range rocket and long-range artillery.
Then the amount that the Russians have invested in Kaliningrad and Crimea: They have the potential completely to deny access up into the Baltic Sea and into the Black Sea, and they can touch about 90 percent of the Black Sea with anti-ship missiles and the Baltic Sea the same thing. They have already exercised one time, putting an Iskander missile into Kaliningrad. So there is a lot of capability — artillery, rockets, anti-ship, troops, air defense — in Kaliningrad and in Crimea. That is a real concern.
Q. Do you expect any new Joint Urgent Operational Needs statements like the Army's request to up-gun the Stryker?
A. We are going to keep looking at all of our capabilities. The Army has regionally aligned forces, which enables rotational forces. We are going to have a brigade's worth of equipment on the ground, forward, in what we call European Activities Sets so that the heavy brigade comes over and draws equipment, trains with it throughout the year.
So we will keep looking at our capabilities, but also our allies. I mean all of our allies are growing — the Germans and the Dutch are increasing their tank forces again. All three Baltic countries are increasing. Poland is serious about it. Really, this is not just the US; several countries in the alliance are increasing, taking on more of a share of the burden. I am very encouraged by it. Even though each country might have a slightly different view of what Russia is doing, everybody recognizes that the alliance has to stick together and be ready.

As Time Goes By (UK)
96 Fans
Army officer Lionel Hardcastle and nurse Jean Pargetter had a three-month affair in 1953. After Lionel is posted to Korea, the two lose touch when Lionel's letter to Jean fails to get delivered. Thirty-eight years later, they meet again. A sweetly charming situation comedy that ran for nine seasons.
Trivia Facts | Top Quotes | Goofs/Mistakes
- The man and woman in the photographs in the opening of the show, who are supposed to be Jean (Judi Dench) and Lionel (Geoffrey Palmer) when they first met, are actually Dench's daughter, actress Finty Williams, and Palmer's son.
- The program was originally titled "Winter with flowers," but when a cake bearing the title was presented at the taping of the first episode, the cast and crew refused to eat any cake unless the name of the series was changed.
- Moira Brooker, who plays Judith, Jean's grown-up daughter, admits to occasionally being so mesmerized by Judi Dench's talents while taping that she would forget to say her lines.
- The title of Lionel's often mentioned memoir was "My Life in Kenya." Jenny Funnell, who portrayed Sandy on the show, was actually born in Kenya.
- The role of Jean was originally written for Jean Simmons.
- Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer reunited in the 1997 James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies, starring Pierce Brosnan.
- Paul Rogers receives third billing, below the two stars. This is rare for the series, with the regular cast normally taking precedence over guests.
- SPOILER: Lionel kisses Jean in the final scene. Geoffrey Palmer admitted he was nervous about kissing Judi Dench because he had never kissed a Dame before. (Dench was awarded a DBE in 1988.)
- Rocky is asked why he goes by that name, and he replies he never liked being called "Richard." Jean then calls Lionel "Rocky 2." From this we can surmise Lionel's full name is Richard Lionel Hardcastle, Jr.
- While making breakfast in this episode, Lionel says, "I think I'll have a sausage. I fancy a sausage." Geoffrey Palmer used the same line when he played the doctor in the famous "Fawlty Towers" (1975) {The Kipper and the Corpse (#2.4)} episode of "Fawlty Towers."
- Judi Dench and Barbara Leigh Hunt have both played Lady Catherine de Bourg in Pride and Prejudice
- Eric gives his age as 62. Ronnie Stevens was over 70 at the time.
- Ronnie Stevens receives third billing, behind the main stars. Normally guest actors are listed after the regular cast.
- When Madge and Rocky wake up Judy and Sandy, the kitchen clock, though not fully visible, clearly indicates it's 7:40 or later in the morning. But, the clock on the microwave says 5:52.
- Earlier in the series Lionel is working with CBS. However, when Allistair tunes in the TV in New York to watch the mini-series he tunes to channel 4, which is NBC in New York.
- Jean mentions that Mrs. Bale's treatment of her makes her feel like Queen Victoria. Judi Dench (who plays Jean) did play Queen Victoria in the movie Mrs Brown.
- Jean (Judi Dench), who'd been sneaking around to meet an old friend, tells Lionel (Geoffrey Palmer) about it, to which he quips, "Were you on a mission for MI-5 ?" MI-5 is, of course, the government organization of James Bond in the 007 films. Dench began appearing as "M" in the Bond film Goldeneye. Both she and Palmer appeared in the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.
- The role of 'Harry' is played by a different actor (Daniel Ryan) in this reunion episode. In the original series the character was portrayed by David Michaels.

Touch of Flavor Visits DC101, Part 3
I was whipped. I was tied up. I thought things couldn't be any worse, and then electricity happened!
Cassie from Touch of Flavor came to the DC101 studios to talk about the upcoming event in Baltimore and for the final part of the demonstration, she showed me the violet wand and electricity for pleasure.
I thought, ok, how bad could this really be. Well let me tell you, it was quite the experience. You wouldn't think a light or a Slinky would be too much to handle, but I'm going to tell you firsthand that it was. Plus, it didn't help that I was blindfolded during part of it!
Watch how electricity and Mike Jones don't get along.
I will never touch a Slinky again without making sure it isn't getting electric running through it.
This was definitely my favorite part of the demonstrations, even if it hurt the worst. I want to say thanks to Cassie for coming down to talk about Touch of Flavor and bring her toys to show us a sample of things in the kink world.
Get tickets and see the full schedule of events and classes at Touch of Flavor, July 4th - July 7th in Baltimore, by clicking here.
And if you didn't see the other parts of the demonstrations yet, you can click here for the flogging and go here for the rope tricks!

Life's a game, but BRIDGE is serious
Jul 12, 2012 , 2:58 PM by Kate O'Toole
"People are always surprised when we say it's much better to be physically fit. Games go for 2 and a half hours, there's 3 games a day. There's no question if people aren't physically fit they fade towards the last few hands."
Julia Hoffman is the Bridge Team Captain from the ACT, and one of the 400 bridge players fighting it out on 50 tables at the Convention Centre this fortnight. The National Championships are being run as well as a couple of other general entry tournaments.
While the competition is tough, Julia says behavioural standards have improved over her 43 year competition career.
"Gloating is frowned upon ... dress standards have lifted, drinking has had to be diminished. It is getting a lot better."
Makes you wonder what competitive bridge was like back in the day- I'm imagining a smoky bar with drinkin' and brawlin' wild west style.
Listen to the full interview with cross media reporter Clare Rawlinson below.
The Northern Territory Bridge Association is planning on running bridge lessons for beginners in August or September.

Anyone here ever heard Atma-Sphere gear mated to Green Mountain Audio speakers?
Follow Ups:
I have run GMA Europas and Continuim 1.5i's with my M-60's and MA-1's.
M-60's and Europas (4 ohm 89db) really improve with the addition of a set of autoformers. The Continuim's (6.5 ohm 89db)was a toss-up. The autoformers added bass and overall body, but at a cost of some detail.
The MA-1's, on the other hand, did not require autoformers and drove both speakers very well. The level of detail provided by the MA-1's really made the Continuims shine.
The soundstage and imaging from the GMA's are very impressive. Because the GMA's are time-phased speakers, make sure you get the speakers set-up properly. The A-S amps make a kick drum reach right out and hit you in the chest. I really like the MA-1/Continuim combination.
I drove a pair of Europas with a pair of M-60's for a while and liked the combination.
I won't wax too poetic here because I'm an Atma-Sphere dealer and at the time was a Green Mountain dealer. I'm no longer a Green Mountain dealer as I'm now working on a loudspeaker project or two of my own.
One of the posters here, "chosenhandle" owns both Atma-Sphere and Green Mountain equipment. Not sure if they were / are used in the same system, though.

wiring for new ceiling light
my house was built in 1971 and all the bedrooms dont have ceiling lights. i just have lamps that i have a outlet that is connected to the switch with. i know i need to run a wire from the switch to the ceiling light but do i have to re wire that outlet too? i did a ceiling fan last year with same set up. maybe i can try and find my post on here about that but if someone has any quick input i would appreciate it. my other question was will the light be grounded at all since the 14/2 would be coming from the switch or no? if it wont be how do i ground it? thanks
Wiring from 71 should contain a grounding means.
You may need to rewire the receptacle, just depends on the wiring. You will need to find out what wires are available at the switch.

At first glance, Utah seems boring, full of Mormons and maybe some reclusive ski chalets. However, there's a lot more to Utah than you think. TravelPod member newatlas has lived in Utah his whole life. He shared his list of favourite destinations with us in the TravelPod forums.
1. Moab, Arches National Park
Gazed at the beauty of Arches at sunset on the 45-minute drive into the park to Devil's Garden campground in the back. – Cgibbons18
2. Zion National Park
Have spent the day in amongst some of the beautiful scenery. We took the shuttle to different stops in the Park and walked to see even more delightful scenery. It keeps getting better. – Zeke65
3. Park City
This was the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics, and is a big ski area, receiving 500 inches of snow a year. Since it was off-season, the downtown with all its trendy restaurants and shops was slow. We took a tour of the Olympic site, and heard how really difficult and dangerous luge, skeleton, bobsled, and free-style skiing really are. – Lstoneham
4. The high Uintas
On Saturday we went to the Uinta Mountains and did a 5 mile hike with the her and the dogs (Ollie and Peter). Toby actually quite enjoyed it alot even though he cant remember the last time he walked 5 miles! – Brent-n-toby
5. The Wasatch Mountains
We got started on the ride and saw some great scenery. Howard didn't like how slow the others were going (we were in the back) and spent a good portion of the trail with his nose up Chubbs' butt, I'd stop to give some space and he just picked up the pace to catch up! We stopped in front of the falls and had our picture taken and then continued on up the mountain. About halfway through I started to feel it in my knees and seat, but I just continued looking at the scenery and barely noticed it. – Mwilliams79
6. Downtown Salt Lake
The Temple of the Church of the Latter Day Saints is interesting but they wouldn't let us in, something about not being a mormon, go figure? – Bot989
7. Lake Powell
We stayed just one day at Lake Powell, driving over the Hoover Dam to get here. We took a boat tour out to Antelope Canyon which was beautiful and it would have been nice to spend a bit more time here to have a proper look around this huge body of water. – Dymphna9817
8. White water rafting down the Colorado or Green Rivers
We made it through the first few rapids without any problems, including the tricky Rocky Rapid where there was a photographer from a company in town snapping photos so we even have pictures of us making our way through the rapids–we almost look like we know what we're doing! – Sackitoff
9. Antelope Island
Antelope Island State Park, just outside of Layton, Utah. I caught it just as the sun was setting! – Alifebeinglived
10. Bingham Canyon Mine
Last night, we met our other Sea Breeze neighbors: Leonard & Ruth from Temple, Texas. They have been here for several days so I asked what we should do and they recommended a visit to the Bingham Copper Mine – the largest open pit mine in the world – located about 40 miles north of Provo. Wendell had flown over it many times in his flying days and has been in awe of its size and engineering so he was eager to see it firsthand. I made a stroll through the center, but not being as enthralled with all the equipment and processes it didn't take me but a few minutes before heading straight to the gift shop. I will say, in its defense, that it is truly a marvel and anyone coming this way should take a look at this immense pit. It is over a mile deep and two miles wide and even shows up on NASA satellites. – Dlpool

Guild Wars 2 - Living World System
PCGMedia has an article with info on Guild Wars 2 Living World System.
ArenaNet have announced that they are bring a "Living World" system to Guild Wars 2, promising fortnightly updates that change the world based on player actions. From the announcement:
"Our goal is to make Guild Wars 2 the most frequently updated and best supported game experience you can find, and to that end, every two weeks there will be a release with brand new playable content and a mix of supporting features and updates across the entire game. As you read these words, a release is seven days or less away or has just happened within the last seven days— those are now the only two states you'll find the world of Tyria."
This is fantastic for players of Guild Wars 2, to see the company still expanding on the already feature-filled game. Creating a world that is permanently impacted by player choices has always been something sorely missing in most MMOs, so it'll be interesting to see whether ArenaNet can deliver on this.

2013 Shelby GT500 Mustang Test Mule To Sell At Barrett Jackson
In our
of the Barrett Jackson auction held this week in Scottsdale we mentioned that one of the stars of the show would be a 2013 Shelby GT500 Mustang. At the time there was absolutely no information released about the vehicle leading us to speculate that it would either be the first production version of the car or possibly the first convertible. However, Barrett Jackson recently updated the vehicle's description in which they refer to it as a "durability car". That means this is the test mule that was used to develop the new GT500's 650 horsepower drivetrain. While the description states that the car cannot be registered for road use it's destined to be a collectible piece of history. Check out the full description below.
This Shelby GT500 Durability Car is a rare piece of muscle car history, and is the car that the SVT team and Carroll Shelby signed off at the racetrack. It is the genesis and inspiration for today's Shelby GT500 production Mustangs that are available at Ford dealerships nationwide. "I'm really proud to have my name on this car that you guys [Ford SVT Team] have put together working with my dreams of what I think a car should be. And you made it that and more," said Carroll Shelby. This Shelby GT500 Durability Car was designed and engineered by the Ford SVT team working together with Carroll Shelby. Ford SVT assembled much of this GT500 Durability by hand and then tested it on Sebring International Raceway, the High-speed Oval track at the Arizona Proving Ground, as well as the Route 66 road course, among others. It was personally piloted by Carroll Shelby during many hours of its testing. As a result of its testing, this Durability Car allowed the production GT500 to feature a 5.8L supercharged aluminum-block V8 engine cranks out 650hp and 600 lb/ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful cars ever built. Handling is world-class with a TORSEN limited-slip differential, carbon fiber one-piece drive shaft, front and rear Bilstein adjustable dampers, performance-tuned front and rear springs and front and rear stabilizer bars. The car stops on a dime with 6-piston Brembo front brake calipers, ABS Ventilated 4-wheel disc brakes and Electronic brake distribution. This vehicle is sold on a bill of sale; it cannot be titled and will be registered in the Official Shelby American Registry.
The 2013 Shelby GT500 test mule will cross the chopping block Saturday, January 21st, with all proceeds going to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Scout helps save a kitten
As Scout and I were taking our walk Friday, she suddenly stopped, pulled toward the side of the road, and stuck her head in the weeds. She seemed particularly determined to investigate, so I did, too. A single kitten lay in there. It appeared reasonably healthy (for a two or three week old feral kitten), so I left it...hoping that the mother was just out hunting. Saturday, it was still there...and I still held out hope for a returning mother. Unfortunately, by Sunday morning, the kitten had crawled out of the weeds and was lying in the grass along the road. I brought the cat home, cleaned it up (its ENTIRE back was covered in fly eggs), and fed it some kitten formula. Luckily, there was a local group who was able to take him in yesterday. Surprisingly, Scout didn't seem to really care about the kitten at all...I expected her to be jealous of my attention...but as long as I kept throwing that stick for her to chase, she didn't care at all that I was holding the kitten in the other.

The Bears decided to cut a familiar face on Wednesday.
A day after rumblings that the team had no interest to bring back kick returner Devin Hester after eight seasons in town, the Bears made a move on special teams, by releasing punter Adam Podlesh.
Podlesh still had two years remaining on his five-year, $10 million contract he signed with the Bears during the 2011 off-season. The 30-year-old punter was set to make $1.425 million this upcoming season.
The move frees up around $1.4 million in cap space, but the Bears will eat $800,000 in dead money. Podlesh's move isn't a surprise to anyone as he struggled mightily in 2013. His release marks the first for the Bears, who have re-signed nine players this off-season.
Despite breaking a franchise record with a net average (40.4 yards) in his first season with the Bears in 2011, Podlesh's numbers fell off the past two seasons.
He was put on notice after the Bears worked out six punters in the beginning of October last season. Podlesh finished 2013 with a 37.9 yard net average, which ranked 29th in the NFL and a career-low average of 40.6 yards, which ranked 15th in the NFC.
"A sincere thank you to the Bears organization and fans for the opportunity to represent a first class franchise and city," Podlesh said on Twitter Wednesday. "One last
Podlesh's season low-light came against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16 on Sunday Night Football. On the opening drive of the game, the Bears went three-and-out, but then it got worse when Podlesh shanked a punt 25 yards out of bounds.
The Eagles proceeded to score on that following drive and their next two in the first quarter. The 54-11 loss in Philly dropped the Bears to 8-7 on the season and forced a Week 17 matchup against the Packers with the division on the line. We all know what happened in that one.
"P.S. I never did get that dinner with Abe Froman #thesausagekingofchicago," Podlesh later tweeted.
Tress Way and Drew Butler are the two punters currently under contract with the Bears. They both signed reserve/future contracts after the season officially ended.
Way, 23, signed with the Bears last April as an undrafted free agent. The Oklahoma product averaged 38.2 yards on six punts during the preseason, but was cut prior to the start of the season.
Butler, 24, of course is the son of Bears' all-time leading scorer Kevin Butler. He didn't play in 2013 after punting for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2012, averaging 43.8 yards on 77 punts booted.
The Bears will likely bring another young leg into camp, but both of these strong-legged kids will likely be given serious consideration by special teams coach Joe DeCamillis and his assistants.

season 1: bakugan use to be a game where you brawl with cards and monsters called "bakugan" intill a bakugan called dragonoid and fear ripper appeared in a battle as dan kuso was vs a person named shuji. dragonoid got a nickname called "drago" drago could talk which dan was surprised as drago told his story one day a strange darkus brawler named masquerade appeared using doom cards to send bakugan to the doom dimenson, a place where bakugan cannot return. dan and masquerade battled but dan lost still keeping drago. shun kazami was the number 1 brawler as dan fought him. the 2nd time he was with masquerade which he showed his guardian bakugan called "hydranoid" or hydra. dan almost lost intill shun brought his guardian bakugan skyress, and they won the brawl but one of masquerades main bakugan "reaper" got trapped in the doom dimenson. runo seemed to have a main bakugan named tigrerra. as so marucho who he found stumbling across the city he was named preyas but he seemed interesting as he can change attributes to darkus or subterra. julie never had a partner while her friend billy has a bakugan called cycloid. she managed to find one as it appeared mysteriously his name was gorem. soon masquerade was teamed up with hal-g who was dr michael controled by negative energy he also worked for a unknown bakugan called naga who wanted the infinity core from another unknown bakugan called wayvern, she was nagas sister. masquerade found a few top 10 brawlers including billy, they were komba,billy,chan lee,julio,and klaus, billy made gorem in the doom dimenson as julie was holding on to gorem intill he saved her. klaus took preyas and managed to make him obey his orders but runo managed to get him back in his normal self as well drago evolved into a delta dragonoid. soon masquerade took down his team and hydranoid evolved into duel hydranoid. dan battled masquerade the second time and failed. drago was sent to the doom dimenson as well as dan. the other brawlers went also. they got tested and evolved. they were hammer gorem, angelo/diablo,blade tigrerra, storm skyress, and drago stayed his evolution as the pyrus soldier apolinour told him to beat the brawlers bakugans new evolutions to evolve. dan managed to evolve drago into ultimate dragonoid. as masquerade faced exceedra who had a alice clone and hydranoid was now alpha hydranoid. dan and masquerade fought the final time and dan won, revealing masquerade was really alice, she told the negative energy got to her also. the brawlers went into vestroia having to face nagas gatekeepers in 3 twisted worlds. drago met nova lion a wise bakugan but he died from a darkus gatekeeper, as masquerade *alice* saved dan. the gatekeepers went to earth and still got beaten as dan and runo fought the ones drago and hydranoid faced. hal-g went to his normal form tricking her to lead him to the infinity core. silent naga was reveal-d as wayvern fought naga. the brawlers fell for a trap but managed to escape, wayvern sacrificed herself and gave drago the infinity core so drago evolved into infinity dragonoid. hal-g sent in palidin armys which the brawlers destroyed. so drago unleashed the infinity cores power and naga was destroyed, so drago absorbed the silent core and he was the perfect dragonoid, sadly drago had to stay in vestroia as the brawlers bakugan did too. so dr michael returned to his normal self and the world was saved thanks to the battle brawlers.

Carpenter ant advice
Short version: Trying to determine if we have a serious issue or not. Wife is ready to call exterminator; I'm not.
Longer version: Basically, for the past few years, every spring we start seeing ants, mainly in the attic. Not a huge amount, but enough to want to do something about it. So each spring about this time of year, I've gone outside with a flashlight and find a trail or two coming to the house. I go with diatomaceous earth, boric acid powder; maybe a spray too; and then they go away. Until the next spring.
Seems to me a seasonal pattern, and each year foraging ants find a new way into the home. Unless we have nests inside and these are foragers going out and not in! (I know correlation does not necessarily mean causation, and it's possible that my treatments are doing nothing and the ants would naturally wind down after springtime.)
We had a particularly wet spring here in NE Ohio, so that may be increasing ant activity inside our house now in 2011. That coupled with this being at least the 3rd consecutive spring we've gone through this is making my wife concerned that we have a serious problem. Tonight I asked her how many--she said she's squashing 9 or 10 a day. Which to me, doesn't sound bad. But she's obviously more concerned than I am. I just don't think it's time to get in an exterminator for $800 or whatever in treatments, and what I'm doing each year is enough. (And this year, I'm determined to find the nest that is sending foragers into our house!)
So....does it sound like I'm underreacting? Any advice at this point?
Not all bugs are bad but granted a nuisance. The ants you describe are tiny, black? And seasonal? Try cinnaman (sp?) in with your nice mix of relatively harmless ways to keep them out.
The deal is that if they are the seasonal ants looking for things in your kitchen? They are also chewing the coatings of flowers like peonies so they can bloom.
I learned over the years to just drown the spring ants in my kitchen with a spritzer bottle. Worked as well as insectisides. They will do their thing and be done soon for the year soon anyhow.
Only thing I cannot imagine them being attracted to as far up as your attic unless tree sap from the framing if you live in new construction.
From my experience carpenter ants don't just invite themselves for dinner each Spring and go away for the rest of the year.
Hate to say this, but take the spouse advice and call an exterminator if you want to find out what is going on and what you are facing. A good one will cost you a fraction of what you could waste on DIY box store chemicals you really do not want to be storing yourself anyhow. A good exterminator will have licenses for applying things you should not try on your own.
It is difficult to tell with carpenter ants whether or not they are foraging from the exterior, or living indoors. Carpenter ants do forage long distances and are especially active in the spring. Since you don't see them year round indoors, that is a good sign indicating an exterior nest, but not necessarily. They may be living in attic voids, roofing, etc and simply change their travel patterns as time goes on. Apparently you are not seeing sawdust, frass, etc-that is also a good sign although they don't always chew the wood if they find a void space that they like.
Carpenter ants like to nest in mature trees. When the colony gets too large, a new queen develops and takes a cross-section of the colony with her. They relocate en masse and start a new colony called a "satellite colony". These satellites are usually the ones infesting and living inside house.
Learn about Termidor. Treat the exterior perimeter where foundation wall meets soil, patio slab, etc. Treat porches, soffits, where siding meets foundation wall, etc. Treat the trunks of trees, about 4-6 feet up from ground. Termidor is non-repellent so the ants won't avoid it as they do the products that you are using. Termidor can kill colonies as the foragers must return to the nest and do pass it to the rest of the colony. Termidor is labeled for exterior use only. Exterior treatments should eventually destroy interior colonies.
If you hire a pest control company, make sure they use Termidor outside. We treat carpenter ants as a one shot treatment for residential. We rarely get called back for warranty service. It can be bought on line, though I've never done so, nor do I know anyone who has. The advertised packaging is the original manufacturer. Do an internet search and see.
Thanks for the quick replies. Here's some more info in response to some of your comments, if it helps.
I'm fairly certain these are carpenter ants. And from my admittedly amateur's eye, I think everything we've seen in the house has been a major worker, although I've seen major and minor in the ant trails outside. If it means anything, one trail does seem to have many more majors come to think of it.
Also, our attic is not finished, but almost. Has a floor down and electricity and is insulated on the roof. So there can be plenty of voids there. And my wife is an artist and art teacher and uses that space as a creative space so she has lots of supplies that could be of interest to ants.
One of the trails is entering between the brick facing of the house and the siding right by the front door. (I know I have to re-caulk that; it's shrunk all over.) Straight shot vertical to attic; but if ants don't usually go up, then that may not matter.
We did have an ash tree removed 5 years ago and there was a big carpenter ant nest inside, but I had thought we got it, as we saw no more activity. The stump, although cut to the ground, is still there. We couldn't grind it due to its proximity to our deck. I also drenched the stump with something I bought back then, and have been trying to break it down with one of those stump enzyme things.
Also, we know there also used to be a big tree in the back yard that was removed a long time ago and the remains of that stump we can tell are still under the lawn.
So there's the mature trees story--at least on our property; there's plenty more within 100 yds!
I googled Termidor and it seems too good to be true; yet I"m reading all these customer reviews that said one application and ants are gone. I may try this after more research, just in case those were all stockholders...
Part of my reluctance to call a pro is that I'm pretty sure now we got taken advantage of a few houses ago. We had just moved to Toledo from Orlando, and my wife saw a few ants so we called the exterminator. After living in Florida for 4 years, you didn't mess around with ants or anything, and if you didn't have a pest guy coming every month, you were bound to get some kind of infestation. So I didn't think twice about agreeing. Called a national company and the sales guy came first to check it out and gave us the run down. Basically we had a $800 year contract, they drilled holes under the windows where we saw ants, even the dead ones and shot something underneath. He baited some carpenter ant nests outside and came back every month to spray the perimeter. I've read up in lots of places now, and in retrospect that just seems wrong.
OK, it's 11:20pm; time to get the flashlight and go outside...
Well, Termidor looks like a good bet here. But I've also come across Dominion 2L which appears to work well too, and is almost 1/2 the price. It has a different active ingredient (Imidacloprid instead of Fipronil), is there any advantage to Dominion?
I have been baiting with a fipronil based bait and love the results thus far, but my problem is huge and the battle will be long..
Fipronil is my first choice for ants; Bifenthrin and imidacloprid would be tied for second. Phantom would be my second choice, but you can't use it outdoors by the labeled directions.
Also do you recomend any granular baits for broadcast over lawn? I have been using Advance Carpenter Ant Bait (0.011% abamectin B1) but it is quite expensive and looking for an alternative..I will be baiting for a while.
They do love it and accept it readily..
I've been using the over-the-counter Combat ant killing gel, 0.001% fipronil, while I've been doing my research and it seems to be helping. I targeted 2 areas where there was obvious ant trails going into the siding outside. Lately activity is dramatically reduced (and my wife hasn't said anything about ants in about 10 days, so I guess she's seeing less! :biggrin:) I will still go with Termidor, as I never was able to figure out which way they were going! It was hard tracing the trail--they seemed to wind all over my bushes (like little Billy running and errand in Family Circus) and I just lose their path.
Besides, as I said in my first post, correlation does not mean causation! It could be coincidence; I want to end this once and for all!
My only concern is that we grow some berries and our vegetable garden near the side of the house and I don't know about how the spray in that one-foot zone could get in the roots.
From what I have been told from a few reputable Pest Control People, don't stop the baiting cause you stopped seeing ants.
I will be baiting all summer here. I am also using a granular, I don't see any ants around some piles but the pile is gone the next day, while a pile a few feet away is untouched..
Here in Eastern MA (typically expensive) they wanted $230 for a Termidor perimeter treatment which guaranteed no ants for 1-yr, they also threw in termite indicator stakes (apparently termites eat the material in the stake, so seeing it disintegrate indicates activity along the foundation)
Even though I can buy Termidor online for about $60 for 3-5X the QTY the pro is going to use, I still went with them for the treatment.
This particular Co does not advocate putting anything into the house itself, they do it all w/ a perimeter treatment and claim that it works for complete removal of nests, even if they are in the house, because the ants will still be going outside thru this stuff. This particular company is at the top of Angie's List and had about a hundred positive reviews, including for carpenter ants.
At $230 I would have them over, termidor has a 10yr half life or something like that. In canada they nail me for 500 and all they do is spray a repellant insectide that works for a few weeks and only kills a small number.
Termidor as a subterranean application for termites will last for some years, depending on environmental factors. As a surface spray for ants-maybe a year under protected areas, but generally less than that.
Bugman, what is breaking down the termidor? sunlight, rain? how often to retreat then?
I wish the pest guys around me were half as informed as you are :) I would not likely be trying to do it myself....
They claim that reapplication yearly is "maintenance" which would imply that the solution lasts at least a year.
They also claim it takes 30 days to eliminate the ants, but that often results occur in as few as 2 weeks... they "guarantee" that after 30 days you will see no ants in your home--though I assume the guarantee is limited simply to re-treatment of the area, so in event that the chemical doesn't work, I'm not sure what else they might try to do?
They sprayed 12" up the foundation and 12" out from the foundation, they also spot treated any ant hills within about 12" of the foundation.
...treatment was on Thursday, I had already seen a dramatic reduction in the number of ants, probably due to my own application of various consumer pesticides... I believe that Wed/Thur I saw zero ants... last night (Fri) I saw one in the living room... today there we've found two on our second floor (to date we've seen none up there, so this is new activity).
I can see where they are coming in, I believe they probably are walking right in around a new electric outlet I had installed last fall... I have vinyl over original wood shingle, the electrician installed an old work box, so there is probably a fairly large gap around it that they are simply walking in around... once I see no ants for at least a week I plan to take apart that area and seal with spray foam. It's also possible that small picture window (20"x20") may have a leak that is wetting the original wood siding or something similar, I've got a carpenter coming who is going to replace that window with a vinyl, replace any rotted wood, wrap with aluminum and seal with silicon.

Id be very surprised if this fight takes place looks like haye is calling his bluff. Even if fury agrees to it I think hell pick up an " injury" in training and have to call it off.
I think fury believes his own hype. I'm surprised his uncle and his team are allowing him to fight haye. He'll get a big payday, but if the fight goes as I expect he won't be getting many more. He could get a shot at the title without fighting haye, and when he gets smashed it'll set him back a couple of years at the very least
He'll bang around for years even after Haye puts him away, proof is Fraudley, look how many fights he has had that really, he shouldn't have. Division is so thin these days if you can climb up the apron unassisted you can get a fight at HW, probably for one of the title's.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Looks confirmed! Can't wait! It will be my first live event at the MEN.
The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
Yeah I'll be going! I'm not even slightly concerned about there being an upset. Wonder who'll be on the undercard, froch vs groves as he's another booth fighter? Would like to see it but can't see Carl playing second fiddle
I'd be happy to see quigg vs frampton, I think frampton fights in a couple of weeks? Don't suppose that will happen yet though!
Quigg is mandatory for the WBA title and the fight has to take place around September and also he is from the Manchester area. Hearn co-promotes Haye and promotes Groves, so he could easily get Quigg on the card. I think you may see some of Hearn's Liverpool fighters on the bill also.
Haye within 6 rounds. Or even 4 I think he will play with him for 1st 3 rounds, then break him dwn in 5th and 6th,

I'm trying to create a rig or the wheels of a car. I've written an expression to make the wheel rotate when you move the car forward (in Z direction).
My expression :
Wheel.rotateX = 360 * group1.translateZ / (2* 3.14 * radius)
This works perfectly, untill you try to make the car turn, since the wheels only rotate when you move the car along th Z axes... So when I attach it to a motion path the wheels stop rotation when the car makes the turn...
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Well I have been coming here for years and have posted here and there as I have searched for an Allante.
Since I just purchased a new car I really did not think I would buy one soon. Then I found a 90 with 83K for sell for 1700 and I could not pass. The paint is very nice as is most of the interior except the shifter area which the dealership tore apart. Seems someone wired the car to drive through the fuse box. I mean you have to turn the key but the power seat will not work, the fuel gauge or the radio/climate stack. The car drives well and the speedo, temp, etc work but for the life of me I don't know why they did this. Could have been something simple like the security key failed and they did not know how to work around it. I will have to start working this out so I will be coming to you guys for help SOON. Below are a few picture of the car I am speaking of. My friend has a wrecked 90 with a hard top and I am waiting for the right time to pounce because it is as good as mine.

Had Fraxel Repair done 11/12/11 and I am doing okay. :-) Grateful the procedure went well and the week is over. I am 40 years old with a mix of ice pick, box and rolling scars. Been on Accutane twice. Accutane saved me. I was very lucky I did not experience any side effects. Last time on Accutane was 12 years ago.
The actual procedure was cake. :-) My amazing Nurse Nicole from PA was incredible because I went to my treatment feeling a lot of emotions...excited, nervous, vulnerable...etc. This was big for me since I never did anything like this before. I was given a nice cocktail of antibiotics, predisone, valum and valtrex. Every step was explained to me throughout the process. Then Nicole covered my face with a numbing gel. A little while later the Doctor came in and gave me nerve blockers which made me very happy. Just shoot me up I don't care. The more the merrier. I don't like pain. In fact I felt nothing. No pain :-). After the actual laser procedure...my Doctor told me I did very well and told me to come back in three days for follow up. Nurse Nicole applied wet gauze and then put some ointment on me and then finally a lovely white cotton mask to cover the entire face. The mask is hilarious.
Followed the post laser instructions...antibiotics and valtrex for the next 6 days. Also, I got one more dose of predisone for the second day to help with the swelling. Distilled water- soaks, aquaphor. When I got home and removed the mask all I had was a little swelling, some pin point bleeding. Not bad. The second day was much more swelling, more pin point bleeding, redness. No pain. In fact I didn't take any tylenol- did not need.
On the third day went back for follow up and told my doctor I was concerned that I looked okay. I just thought I was going to look like a truck had hit me. She explained she went as aggressive as she could with my skin color. I am Greek not olive but rather medium. For a greek I am light. Natural beige foundation is my color. She mentioned a Fitzpatrick level but cannot recall. I guess I wanted to see results and felt like...the procedure didn't do much. I still see my acne scars but maybe there is about a 20% improvement. Not sure...have to wait for the micro swelling, redness to go down. My nurse took several photos of me pre-procedure. I am hoping they will take new photos at next appointment end of December so I can see if there is any improvement. Improvement in scars, overall skin.
I keep reading improvements are seen 3-6 months after treatment because the collagen is repairing itself.
All in all, my doctor told me I will be happy with the results. She is confident so I will stay optimistic. In addition to the meds I also took my multi and extra vitamin C and drank lots of water. The one thing I should have had and did not was a humidifier. If you plan to do this during the cold months or even in the summer with AC running please get a humidifier. Your skin will love you for it. During the healing period it is important to keep your skin moist. Looking forward to my follow up end of December. Happy Holidays!

Reports have suggested that Fulham are one of the clubs interested in signing Zaha.
"No," Jol said when asked of any move. "He did very well actually in pre-season so there was no reason to make an enquiry about him. I feel that, on the flank, we are OK. We've got five or six… a few options.
"I told [Ashkan Dejagah] a couple of weeks ago, 'I want you to be the number-one' but of course I want Duffers [Damien Duff] to be the number one, I want Bryan [Ruiz] to be the number one."

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Georgia and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.
