Though inflammatory he does have a point. The difference being that iTunes doesnt suck.
Sort of. One can export an iTune's file to AAC then convert that AAC file to MP3 format using Jhym, a free piece of software.
Not surprising given the comparable market share with regard to both OS X and Windows and the fact that Windows comes with Windows Media Player and OS X with iTunes.
How easy will this be? Saying that it will allow changes by devloper's doesn't really open up such a nice feature to the general public - in which case, if you're only catering to other developers, what's the outcry about this great new piece of software with regard to the rest of the world at large? I'm thinking it won't be that difficult to modify and if such is the case it will be a neat player to use.
Not to sure if I would be keen to back something like this (assuming that I had a spare few hundred million in a Swiss bank account )Unless of course they struck up an exclusive deal with a top hardware manufacturer where by the browser was bundled with the hardware. I am not saying that the concept wont work, coming from Mozilla source code I am sure it will. It just needs to be able to generate revenue and be profiable through the licencing and sale of downloading music to be successful. I think a 'wait and see' approach on this one is best.
It sort of makes sense. As popular as the browser has been they have the reputation that will help push it out there and get people trying it (both devs and regular users). It could make for some really interesting players in terms of customization, look/themes and the like.
It is quite a ways away from fruition however.
Apple has a huge lead on the software side of the equation. The integration between iPod, iTunes, and iTMS sets the bar pretty high for the competition to attempt to match, but so far they haven't even come close.
While I don't see Apple resting on their laurels, I do want to see some good competition out there in jukebox software and actual hardware. A monopoly in any market isn't a good thing, even if it is Apple who holds it.
Although Songbird is still a pretty vague concept, I don't think they're quite on the right track if the main thing they're talking about now is the ease of skinning it. If they develop it so it's very customizable and extensible through skins or plug-ins, someone will still have to hit on the right combination of features and connectivity to tempt more users away from iTunes, Winamp, or WMP.
I'll have to see what else Rob has to say next time we cross paths.
Sounds an excellent idea.
There is no reason why there can't be good iPod integration ( it is only a portal hard disc ) and people have already been able to add to the iPod music library, so thats not a problem.
Of course, the added bonus is that this could also work with other MP3 players ( and other devices such as cell phones ).
If this reaches the standards of Mozilla then it'll be one cracking piece of software.
I'll try any media player just for kicks. If it's any good I'll keep it. I just hope it's available for the Mac, unlike WinAmp.
Mac and Linux versions of the user preview are supposed to be available a couple weeks after the Windows version.
Nice, I'll have to figure out what to do with my Protected AAC's then if I like it that much. I can never get JHymn to work. It never authorizes.
I think we should keep an eye on this one. I think it has real potential. Especially if it can be expanded to include video as well.
Nice......but the UI is iTunes
You have to wonder why they are so blatantly copying iTunes UI. Perhaps there is more here than meets the eye. I'm thinking iTunes 7 or 8. Perhaps Apple is a silent partner.
Just a thought.
Not a bad one either

2015 edition
Course code: Comp4330, Comp6433 & Comp8330
to the main ANU course for Real-Time and Embedded Systems. The focus of this course is to communicate all basic real-time concepts and how they relate to phyiscal devices. You will learn how to design a real-world system which can be relied upon under any foreseeable circumstances.
|Logic based, sustainable, autonomous flight. Ongoing research at the Australian National University 2015 (Ben Coughlan). On-board control, energy harvesting & management, navigation and telemetry implemented in programmable logic (no CPUs). Airframe based on a commercial, 4-m-wingspan glider (Pulsar).
Help and support is provided on many levels:
- Attend all the lectures (come with a clear head and an empty note-pad).
- Do all the labs - our tutors are experienced and will always listen and point you towards a productive direction.
- Talk to your classmates. Form a learning group with your friends.
- Use the forums - chances are you are not the only one with this question.
- Contact us - any of us (e-mail addresses below). We won't be sitting on the phone 24/7, but most of us are electronically reachable most of the time. All e-mails and posts will be answered - mostly surprisingly fast.
- Most importantly: if you feel that you are or might be getting into trouble then see us straight away. If you hit a wall, neither staring at it, nor ignoring it will make it go away -> you will need to become active and talk to somebody. Almost anything can be put back on track, if you give us a chance to suggest a solution in time.

Hang on a minute. Last I checked, most CIOs had authority over the IT spending in their organizations, and a majority of you (68%) were members of the C-suite's executive committee. That's data drawn from a survey of 729 IT leaders one year ago in our annual State of the CIO survey.
Now along come our friends from Gartner, claiming—in a recent joint survey with the Financial Executives Research Foundation and Financial Executives International's Committee of Finance and IT—that a piddling 5% of CIOs have the power to authorize IT investments while 26% of CFOs do. That's data drawn from a survey of 344 respondents "qualified in providing a perspective on technology deployment within the enterprise." What does that even mean?
Gartner also found 42% of IT organizations report directly to their company's CFO, with that number climbing as high as 60% for midsize businesses (with revenue between $50 million and $250 million).
Well, color me skeptical. In CIO's 2011 State of the CIO research, we found 44% of CIOs report to the CEO and only 20% report to the head of finance. That is one huge discrepancy, folks. We also reported that in the purchase of IT products and services, CIOs are influencing every stage of the purchase process—far outweighing the clout of the CFO. Here's what some of our data showed:
Who's In Charge?
Our research show CIOs influence every stage of the technology-purchasing process.
I have no doubt that business-focused collaboration between the CIO, CFO and CEO has never been more important to the health of enterprises. Everybody gets that. But claiming that the heads of finance are leading the IT investment process (and making brand and architecture decisions) doesn't make sense to me. It even sounds alarming. Do we want CIOs handling Securities and Exchange Commission filing decisions? By the same token, why would anyone expect CFOs to make the most enlightened IT decisions?
I'd love to hear your take on this, so please drop me a line with your thoughts about the true scope of the CFO's influence.
This story, "CIO vs. CFO: Surveys debate who's in charge of IT" was originally published by CIO.

About meI am an actor, writer, director, musician and former librarian, and part-time book buyer for an independent store. I am married to a practicing librarian who I met in library school. The fact that she is undoubtedly the most popular person in our town says quite a lot about her, the library she directs and, indeed, the nature of our small community. At one time, Mrs. Kitten and I ran a rare and used book business, specializing in women's history and literature and children's and illustrated books.
About my libraryOne of the things I love about this site is that it allows me to catalog not only those titles I choose to keep but also those I've read and chosen to return or pass on to someone else, which I do more and more frequently these days. I'm not as much interested in enumerating my possessions as I am in being able to track the continuing progress of my reading life.

Performance measures used in transit contracts: Review of evidence
Lake, Maree & Ferreira, Luis (2001) Performance measures used in transit contracts: Review of evidence. The US National Research Council and Queensland University of Technology.
|PDF (175kB)
This report has summarised the work undertaken at QUT as part of a research project sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration in the US. The project was administered by the US Transportation Research Board of the National Research Council, under TCRP Project G-6: 'A Guidebook for Developing a Transit Performance-Measurement System'. Kittelson and Associates Inc. acted as the principal investigators and other participants included Urbitran Inc., LKC Consulting Services, MORPACE International, Inc. and Yuko Nakanishi.
The stated objective of this research is:
'to produce a practical, user-friendly guidebook that will assist transit system managers in developing a performance-measurement system that uses traditional and nontraditional performance indicators and measures to address customer-oriented and community issues.' As well as an extensive literature review, a total of 19 transit planning agencies and operators were interviewed for the overall project, regarding the performance measures currently in use. The results are available in the form of several project reports, which are currently in draft form, including:
• TCRP G-6: A guidebook for developing a transit performance measurement system: Literature Review, September 2001; • TCRP G-6: A guidebook for developing a transit performance measurement system: Interim Report, December 2001; and • TCRP G-6: A guidebook for developing a transit performance measurement system: Performance measure summary, December 2001.
As part of the team working on the project QUT reviewed a number of existing transit performance based contracts in several countries. This report deals with the review of evidence from agencies and operators. The summary provided here is based on documents obtained from agencies and operators, as well as on personal communication with a number of individuals in 12 organisations in Australia, US, UK, Norway and South Africa.

Caller One: "She was just the sweetest thing... there's no way she could have done all those horrible things you media people keep saying she did. Just no way."
Caller Two:"Who's to say someone else didn't kill that Johnny Venture? Jasmine could have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. How do we know for sure?"
Caller Three: If she really didn't do it, why break out of jail? Why not wait for the verdict and walk away a free woman?"
These are some of the comments--not really unexpected--that Shauna J. Bogart is getting on her talk radio show after the news that a television and radio star known as Jasmine has escaped from custody. After a long career as an entertainer, Jasmine has been making an amazing comeback, but now she's just been jailed. Well, someone who wakes up and finds a dead body beside her in her hotel bed can't really complain about that. The news now is that as Jasmine and four other women prisoners are being transferred to a different jail, the police van is intercepted on the road and the women freed. Since the nationally famous Jasmine was a local girl, Shauna J's callers, all of whom claim to have known her, are quick (and thrilled) to comment.
Shauna J. is thrilled, too. Anyone who works in the news business, she tells us, will admit to the same, if they're honest. Add to that the notice she's just received tells her she's been voted into the Broadcast Legends Hall of Fame. With her lover Peter off on some annoyingly mysterious mission, Shauna decides to follow her dream - she will find Jasmine herself, and get a firsthand interview. Shauna's convinced she can get it; she's got something other news people don't have. The song, "Meet Me at the Casbah," is what has sparked Jasmine's second round of fame, and Shauna's own mother had coached Jasmine in that song, many years ago. That, the identity of the dead man, and a scam connected with the song itself all begins to come obligingly together. But the tighter the strands are tied, the more Shauna herself is in real jeopardy.
As in her first, award-winning book, Krieg has the delightful Shauna take you behind the scenes of the broadcast world and beyond, spiced by the call-ins of Shauna J.'s listeners and decorated with bona fide pictures of what goes on "backstage" in local radio.

'The Exiles' [From The Illustrated Man]
001. Twenty nights I was stabbed, butchered, a screaming bat pinned to a surgical mat, a thing rotting underground in a black box; bad, wicked dreams. Our whole crew dreamed of witch-things and were-things, vampires and phantoms, things they couldn't know anything about. Why? Because books on such ghastly subjects were destroyed a century ago. By law. Forbidden for anyone for own the grisly volumes.
002. 'Tales of Mystery and Imagination, by Edgar Allan Poe. Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving. Rappaccini's Daughter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, by Ambrose Bierce. Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. The Willows, by Algernon Blackwood. The Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum. The Weird Shadow Over Innsmouth, by H. P. Lovecraft. And more! Books by Walter de la Mare, Wakefield, Harvey, Wells, Asquith, Huxley,"all forbidden authors. All burned in the same year that Halloween was outlawed and Christmas was banned! But, sir, what good are these to us on the rocket?'
003. He was like a satan of some lost dark cause, a general arrived from a derelict invasion.
004. 'We can always hope for one of their atomic wars, dissolution, the dark ages come again. The return of superstition. We could go back then to Earth, all of us, in one night.' Mr. Poe's black eyes brooded under his round and luminant brow. He gazed at the ceiling. 'So they're coming to ruin this world too? They won't leave anything undefiled, will they?'
Poe swayed angrily, faintly drunk with wine. 'What did we do? Be with us, Bierce, in the name of God! Did we have a fair trial before a company of literary critics? No! Our books were plucked up by neat, sterile, surgeon's pliers, and flung into vats, to boil, to be killed of all their mortuary germs.
005. They moved down the echoing throats of the castle, level after dim green level, down into mustiness and decay and spiders and dreamlike webbing. 'Don't worry,†said Poe, his brow like a huge white lamp before them, descending, sinking. 'All along the dead sea tonight I've called the others. Your friends and mine, Blackwood, Bierce. They're all there. The animals and the old women and the tall men with the sharp white teeth. The traps are waiting; the pits, yes, and the pendulums. The Red Death.' Here he laughed quietly. 'Yes, even the Red Death. I never thought–no, I never thought the time would come when a thing like the Red Death would actually be. But they asked for it, and they shall have it!'
006. Outside the castle they advanced through a watery space, a tarn that was not a tarn, which misted before them like the stuff of nightmares. The air filled with wing sounds and a whirring, a motion of winds and blacknesses. Voices changed, figures swayed at campfires. Mr. Poe watched the needles knitting, knitting, knitting, in the firelight; knitting pain and misery, knitting wickedness into wax marionettes, clay puppets. The caldron smells of wild garlic and cayenne and saffron hissed up to fill the night with evil pungency. "Get on with it!" said Poe. "I'll be back!" All down the empty seashore black figures spindled and waned, grew up and blew into black smoke on the sky. Bells rang in mountain towers and licorice ravens spilled out with the bronze sounds and spun away to ashes.
007. At a sign which read SCROOGE, MARLEY AND DICKENS, Poe gave the Marley-faced knocker a rap, and there was Bob Cratchit and Little Dorrit and Tiny Tim and Mr. Fagin himself, and a man who looked as if he might be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato—who else but Mr. Marley, chains and all,
008. "I am a frightened and an angry man. I am a god, Mr. Dickens, even as you are a god, even as we all are gods, and our inventions—our people, if you wish—have not only been threatened, but banished and burned, torn up and censored, ruined and done away with. The worlds we created are falling into ruin. Even gods must fight!" "So?" Mr. Dickens tilted his head, impatient to return to the party, the music, the food. "Perhaps you can explain why we are here? How did we come here?" "War begets war. Destruction begets destruction. On Earth, a century ago, in the year 2020 they outlawed our books.
009. Oh, what a horrible thing—to destroy our literary creations that way! It summoned us out of—what? Death? The Beyond? I don't like abstract things. I don't know. I only know that our worlds and our creations called us and we tried to save them, and the only saving thing we could do was wait out the century here on Mars, hoping Earth might overweight itself with these scientists and their doubtings; but now they're coming to clean us out of here, us and our dark things, and all the alchemists, witches, vampires, and were-things that, one by one, retreated across space as science made inroads through every country on Earth and finally left no alternative at all but exodus. You must help us. You have a good speaking manner. We need you." "I repeat, I am not of you, I don't approve of you and the others," cried Dickens angrily. "I was no player with witches and vampires and midnight things."
010. Mr. Poe hurried along the midnight shore of the dry sea. By fires and smoke he hesitated, to shout orders, to check the bubbling caldrons, the poisons and the chalked pentagrams. "Good!" he said, and ran on. "Fine!" he shouted, and ran again. People joined him and ran with him. Here were Mr. Coppard and Mr. Machen running with him now. And there were hating serpents and angry demons and fiery bronze dragons and spitting vipers and trembling witches like the barbs and nettles and thorns and all the vile flotsam and jetsam of the retreating sea of imagination, left on the melancholy shore, whining and frothing and spitting.
011. The rocket came down—steadily down, with the shriek of a damned spirit! Poe raged at it! He flung his fists up and the orchestra of heat and smell and hatred answered in symphony! Like stripped tree fragments, bats flew upward!
012. Burning hearts, flung like missiles, burst in bloody fireworks on the singed air. Down, down, relentlessly down, like a pendulum the rocket came. And Poe howled, furiously, and shrank back with every sweep and sweep of the rocket cutting and ravening the air! All the dead sea seemed a pit in which, trapped, they waited the sinking of the dread machinery, the glistening ax; they were people under the avalanche!
"The snakes!" screamed Poe. And luminous serpentines of undulant green hurtled toward the rocket. But it came down, a sweep, a fire, a motion, and it lay panting out exhaustions of red plumage on the sand, a mile away. "At it!" shrieked Poe. "The plan's changed! Only one chance! Run! At it! At it! Drown them with our bodies! Kill them!" And as if he had commanded a violent sea to change its course, to suck itself free from primeval beds, the whirls and savage gouts of fire spread and ran like wind and rain and stark lightning over the sea sands, down empty river deltas, shadowing and screaming, whistling and whining, sputtering and coalescing toward the rocket which, extinguished, lay like a clean metal torch in the farthest hollow. As if a great charred caldron of sparkling lava had been overturned, the boiling people and snapping animals churned down the dry fathoms.
014. "Kill them!" screamed Poe, running. The rocket men leaped out of their ship, guns ready. They stalked about, sniffing the air like hounds. They saw nothing. They relaxed.
Something Wicked This Way Comes
001. 29: The trouble with Jim was he looked at the world and could not look away. And when you never look away all your life, by the time you are thirteen you have done twenty years taking in the laundry of the world.
002. 62: Mr Cooger, somewhere behind the eye slits, went blink-click with his insect-Kodak pupils. The lenses exploded like suns, then burnt chilly and serene again.
He swiveled his glance to Jim. Blink-click. He had Jim flexed, focussed, shot, developed, dried, flied away in dark. Blink-click.
003. 63: Flick. The nephew made an X-ray of both, showing them, no doubt, as cold bones trembling in warm flesh. He stuck out his hand.
004. 66: … ticking away to himself… [means lying around, thinking]
005. 146: We love what we know, we love what we are. Common cause, common cause, common cause of mouth, eye, ear, tongue, hand, nose, flesh, heart, and soul.
006. 148: …cat-fight marriages where folks spend careers ripping skin off each other and patching it back upside around,
007. 149: "Why, most men jump at the chance to give up everything for nothing. There's nothing we're so slapstick with as our own immortal souls. Besides, you're inferring that's the Devil out there. I only say it's type of creature has learned to live off souls, not the souls themselves. That always worried me in the old myths. I asked myself, why would Mephistopheles want a soul? What does he do with it when he gets it, of what use is it? Stand back while I throw my own theory over the plate. Those creatures want the flaming gas off souls who can't sleep nights, that fever by day from old crimes. A dead soul is no kindling. But a live and raving soul, crisped with self-damnation, oh that's a pretty snoutful for such as them.
008. 156: Your King James and his literary version of some rather stuffy poetic materials…
009. 204: Evil has only the power that we give it. I give you nothing. I take back. Starve. Starve. Starve.

Do We Really Want Historians as Policy Advisers?
By Neville Morley | Published: December 8, 2016
The claim that Thucydides' account of the past is useful is often extended to historiography in general, rather than just to his specific – and idiosyncratic – approach. And that, suggests Neville Morley, may be the real trap of Thucydides.

The Humanities as Human Relations
By John Gallucci | Published: August 13, 2013

The value of history to public policy
By Richard Grayson | Published: January 10, 2011
Statements such as 'knowing about history helps us to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past' are commonplace.

Arguably the greatest disaster of post-war British foreign policy was the Suez […]

RIM will begin selling its first BlackBerry 10 smartphones on multiple continents within a few days of the companys January 30th launch event, says COO Kristian Tear. We want to do it as quickly as possible, said Tear.
Some analysts had been expecting a March debut. Details are still pending on which carriers will initially support the phones, and if any will have exclusivity deals. The rumored L-Series will be among the first devices, followed with the N-Series.
RIM announced that it will hold its BlackBerry® 10 launch event on January 30th, 2013. The event will happen simultaneously in multiple countries around the world. This day will mark the official launch of its new platform BlackBerry 10, as well as the unveiling of the first two BlackBerry 10 smartphones. Details on the smartphones and their availability will be announced at the event.
In building BlackBerry 10, we set out to create a truly unique mobile computing experience that constantly adapts to your needs. Our team has been working tirelessly to bring our customers innovative features combined with a best in class browser, a rich application ecosystem, and cutting-edge multimedia capabilities. All of this will be integrated into a user experience the BlackBerry Flow that is unlike any smartphone on the market today, said Thorsten Heins, President and CEO of Research In Motion. Thanks to our strong partnerships with global carriers and a growing ecosystem of developers, we believe our customers will have the best experience possible with BlackBerry 10. We are looking forward to getting BlackBerry 10 in the hands of our customers around the world.
BlackBerry 10 will offer a large catalog of the leading applications from across the globe and across all categories, including Games, Productivity, Social, Lifestyle and Leisure, Multimedia and Published Content, as well as applications designed for business and enterprise use.
The BlackBerry® 10 platform has recently achieved FIPS 140-2 certification, which means that government agencies will be able to deploy BlackBerry 10 smartphones and BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 10 as soon as it is available. This marks the first time BlackBerry products have been certified ahead of their launch. In addition, RIM recently announced that BlackBerry 10 smartphones have now entered more than 50 carrier labs with many more entries expected in the coming weeks.
Some key features of the new BlackBerry 10 devices already unveiled recently include:
BlackBerry Flow and BlackBerry Hub
BlackBerry® Flow is a new user experience that allows seamless navigation across open applications and the BlackBerry® Hub. All messages, notifications, feeds, and calendar events come into the BlackBerry Hub and no matter what the user is doing with the device, with a simple gesture, they can peek into the Hub at any time.
BlackBerry Keyboard
The BlackBerry Keyboard learns how you write and adapts to how you type so you can write faster and more accurately, giving you the kind of legendary typing experience that only BlackBerry can deliver.
BlackBerry Balance
BlackBerry® Balance offers the most elegant way to satisfy both customer and corporate needs without compromising on either. With BlackBerry Balance, personal apps and information are kept separate from work data, and the customer can switch from their personal to work profile with a simple gesture. The work profile is fully encrypted and secure, enabling organizations to protect their content and applications, while at the same time letting customers get the most out of their smartphone for their personal use.

Lewis will have to drive out of his skin to hold off the Vettel/RB7 combination who will surely get quicker over the race weekend. Nice to see Lewis being more consistent in practice and quali regards challenging Red Bull. 5 agree 1 disagree

Hi there! I am a single mother to a beautiful sweet (but lively!) 19 month old girl. It's really just the two of us, so I'm in a bit of a predicament here. I sprained my ankle pretty severely yesterday, I have it on good authority that it's not broken (reallllly hoping!) because I can put weight on it, and walk---sort of. But it is really swollen and it's painful to walk so I am needing to rest so I don't do more damage to it. This is extremely hard when you have an energetic toddler! There are a few other things that will make this weekend very difficult. Asia (my daughter) and I are both sick right now with a sore throat/cough, and I also work one night a week which happens to be Friday night (I'm at work right now) and so every weekend I don't sleep from Friday morning until Saturday night, except I will take a nap with Asia on Saturdays when she takes one. My parents stay with her on Friday nights so I can work, but they aren't able to help out other than that so I'm on my own. I would go to the doctor for this, but I have no insurance at this time so I am hoping to just wait it out and do ice treatments and hope that it gets better. (I read that sprained ankles heal themselves.. is this true?)
Sorry for the really long explanation! I just know I'm going to be incredibly tired today, and I shouldn't do much walking. I wondered if any of you mama's have any advice, as to any way I can help treat my ankle without a doctor, or what I can do with Asia today that doesn't require much walking. We normally do a lot of things, and I am not one to be okay with her just watching t.v. all day, she would get bored with that anyway, she hasn't watched very much t.v. up to this point so she doesn't have a lot of interest in it. I am also one of those moms that becomes stricken with mom guilt if I'm not doing things with her all throughout the day! And although she is sick right now, she has never been one to rest when she's sick, she likes to stay occupied/stimulated. So... any advice would be helpful!
Thanks for your time and your responses. :)
Anything sitting down - books, games, peekaboo, bath times and if she likes baths you could do that multiple times, singing songs, have her race to get things for you. It will probably be hard at first but you will become creative fast! You can take ibuprofen for swelling/pain. You may have to adjust your expectations of being super mom for the day :) Sometimes you have to take care of yourself first so you can properly take care of your child. I hope it is a fun day!
You are in survival parenting mode. Your job is to make sure everyone gets through it alive.
-I second the recommendations for things you can do together while you sit down. Baths are brilliant. Colouring and stickers in the highchair are also big hits in our house when I am down. Pull out new and interesting things to play with. Read tons of books.
-Use TV to get a nap if you need to. Nap with her when she goes down.
-plan before you get up and gather everything up, like extra filled sippies and snacks so you don't have to get up again
-Ice and imobilization for the ankle. Wrap in in an ace bandage and stay off of it.
Mama to J (Jan '09), E (May '11), and C (August, '13)
Professional Cloth Diaper at Diaper Lab in Boston (ask me about laundry)
Thanks so much for the advice, we survived the day doing most of these things. I wish I could be supermom! I hate to say the cleaning gets slacked on big-time due to being a single mom, but I definitely think Asia getting a lot of one-on-one attention trumps the importance of cleaning!
Thanks again :)

The rubber intake boots may be an issue, for sure.
As far as the coils go, I would think that it would almost be an impossibility for coils 1 all the way through 6 to go bad at the same time. I really don't think it's the coils but then again, I'm not sure.
One thing that I do notice is that when the car is cold, it idles a little rougher than when it's warm and if I don't allow it to warm up for a while and immediately start driving, it will sputter. It's even stalled once or twice since this started. When it stalled, it was because I didn't let it warm up.
Does this still sound like an intake boot to you?
By the way, thank you, for helping me.

Ellis Hobbs showed why the New England Patriots call their kick return unit the "answer team."
On the ensuing possession Sunday following Justin Miller's 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the second quarter, Hobbs outdid his Oakland counterpart, returning the next kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. The score gave the Patriots a 21-point lead en route to a 49-26 victory over the bumbling Raiders.
"It felt good to get out there untouched," Hobbs said. "As much as you get frustrated sometimes with the hits you're taking, and this and that, it was nice to give back to those guys blocking so hard for you, because it was definitely an 11-man effort on that one."
The Patriots have been one of the best kick return teams all season thanks to Hobbs' contributions, but the veteran cornerback has absorbed his share of hits throughout the year, prompting some critics to suggest he should be absolved of his duties on special teams. The Patriots, however, didn't listen.
"We needed some momentum, and we knew all week from our preparations that there were certain things in their coverage we could really take advantage of," said wide receiver Kelley Washington, who is one of New England's key contributors on the wedge unit. "The guys did a good job blocking them up, and Ellis has done a good job all year of finding the seam and hitting it. It was nice to see everything we had worked on pay off."
The Raiders had a chance after Miller's return, but Hobbs wiped out any chance of a comeback and put the Raiders to bed early, allowing the Patriots to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Miami beat San Francisco and the Jets rallied past Buffalo, leaving all three teams in a three-way tie atop the AFC East 9-5. The Patriots would be on the short end of the stick in terms of tiebreakers, so they need to win their final two games (home vs. Arizona and at Buffalo) and hope the Jets and Dolphins split down the stretch.
If that doesn't happen, the Patriots still have a chance in the wild-card race. At 10-4, Indianapolis has all but wrapped up one of the two available spots, but Baltimore lost to Pittsburgh in the closing seconds Sunday, dropping the Ravens to 9-5.
Again, the Patriots would lose the tiebreaker in this scenario as well, but they still have a chance to pass the Ravens in the final two weeks. Baltimore has a tough schedule beginning at Dallas next weekend and ending at home against Jacksonville on Dec. 28.
"We know we lose, we go home. We know our playoffs started a week ago," nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. "I think everybody knows that. To come on the West Coast and win, that's big for us. Hopefully, we can start stringing them together. If we don't, we're looking at next year. The thing is winning."
The Patriots will return home this week to play the Cardinals, who have already clinched their playoff spot by winning the NFC West. New England then travels to Buffalo for the season finale, and the Bills have already dropped out of the postseason picture.
The Pats need help along the way, but as long as they take care of their business first and control what they control, there's a chance the dominoes may fall their way.
"It's the NFL. It's gone from a three-game season to a two-game season," Hobbs said. "We have to understand that. We have to hold up our end. None of this matters if we don't win. Everybody held serve today, so we're taking it on into next week."
--WR Wes Welker continues to emerge as QB Matt Cassel's favorite target and continues to reach milestones on a weekly basis.
On Sunday, Welker caught six passes, becoming just the eighth player in NFL history to record back-to-back seasons with at least 100 catches. Catch No. 100 came on a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter as the Patriots throttled the Raiders.
"It was one of those deals where you don't want to take a hit, but I haven't got into the end zone too much," he said. "I wanted to make sure I got in on that one."
--Cassel's effort Sunday inspired his teammates. The former backup quarterback played -- and thrived -- despite dealing with the death of his father just six days prior to the game.
"If anybody didn't respect him leading up to this game, I think everyone in this locker room (does now), because to play with something like that on your heart is tough," NT Vince Wilfork said. "He was very professional about it. I thanked him for it, playing through this game. That's special, when somebody does something like that."
--WR Randy Moss had a field day against his former team, catching two touchdown passes as the Raiders strayed from the game plan employed by every other team, which is to provide safety help to the cornerback covering Moss.
"That's just Randy being Randy," said RB LaMont Jordan, who also had a miserable stay in Oakland as a member of the Raiders. "I'm definitely happy for him. His experience in Oakland, the media out here had nothing but negative things to say about him. It wasn't just them. It was everybody. I would tell people, 'Randy can still play this game. He's a leader.'"
--DE Ty Warren returned to the lineup Sunday after missing the previous two games with a groin injury and resumed his role as the starting left defensive end.
--NT Vince Wilfork returned to the starting lineup after briefly leaving the previous week's game with a shoulder injury. He made his impact felt by blocking an extra point in the third quarter.
--S James Sanders could not shake his abdominal injury and was inactive for the game. Veteran Lewis Sanders -- a cornerback by trade -- moved to safety to replace his injured teammate.
--LT Matt Light (shoulder) and LB Gary Guyton (ankle) left Sunday's game with injuries and did not return. Mark LeVoir and Junior Seau replaced them in the lineup, respectively.
--G Dan Connolly was added to the active roster over the weekend after the Patriots placed LB Pierre Woods (jaw) on injured reserve, but Connolly was inactive in Oakland.

this may be a different kind of offers for team projects then others. It is rather a chance to learn and work together.
We have prepared a unique course in which intermediate and advanced animators will collaborate on a short film with a direct supervision and direction by Kenny Roy from Animation Mentor.
Kenny also owns a studio Acronyx in LA, which will provide their infrastructure to help with all other 3D stuff such as lighting and rendering.
At the end of 2 weeks, students will learn a lot about production of their own short films, develop shots for their reels AND become part of a bigger project that will be finished almost at the very end of the course. ... fully rendered, fully with music ..
the cool news is that Kenny will write a book about Short film making, so all the animators will be also featured in the book. Kenny is the author of How to Cheat in Maya 2012. The new book will be a gift to all of the students free of charge ..
Here are two videos with Kenny that explains what he has prepared for us ..
About the course
an update
There are only 2 extra seats available. If you are an animator that wish to be part of this unique experience, please, contact us as soon as possible ... the dates are last two weeks in September, Czech Republic ...

George Brenzovich begins his 15th season at the helm of the UTEP Rifle team. Under his guidance, the Miners have continued to be one of the elite programs in the country, finishing among the nation's top-15 in the last 10 years. Under the tutelage of Brenzovich, the Miners have sent a representative (six individuals) to the NCAA rifle championships in six of the last seven seasons, including a team appearance in 2005 and 2012.
During the 2011-12 season, Brenzovich led the team to a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championship, while four individuals earned All-American accolades. Freshman Jennifer Armendariz was named All-American Honorable Mention for her efforts with the air rifle. Andrea Palafox earned a first team nod in the air rifle and second team recognition for the smallbore, making her a four-year All-American for the Miners.
In 2010, Alix Moncada made her second appearance at the 2011 NCAA Men's and Women's Rifle Championships, competing in the individual air rifle competition. Moncada earned the NCAAs Elite 88 award, given to the highest GPA at the championship. Moncada, alongside Josie Burzynski, were selected to participate in the 2009 championships, marking the first time more than one person qualified since the 2005 campaign.
UTEP ended the 2009 season ranked ninth nationally, the highest finish since a final eighth-place ranking in 2005. In total, Brenzovich has coached 11 individuals to the NCAA Championships and 13 NRA All-Americans at UTEP. Brenzovich led the advancement of the UTEP Rifle Range. In 2007, the Miners moved away from paper targets to an electronic scoring system, giving the sport more accurate results.
Before coming to UTEP, Brenzovich enjoyed an 18-year stint at Kings College. He led King's college to its first appearance as a team at nationals in 1979, marking the first time that a Division III program has reached the championships. In all, Brenzovich's teams have made three national championship appearances and won 18 conference titles.
Brenzovich has had shooters go on to compete nationally and internationally, including Denise Loring who won the world championship in air rifle in Scandinavia in 1979.Prior to coaching, Brenzovich shot at King's where he was the team champion for four straight years, while leading the college to a pair of conference titles.
A native of Fredricktown, Pa., Brenzovich also teaches Kinesiology classes on basic rifle, pistol, shotgun, muzzleloader and marksmanship at UTEP, as well as a class on coaching principles and coaching certification under the American sport Education Program. He is also an instructor for the concealed handgun license for the state of Texas Department of Public safety. He is a member of NSSF USA shooting and the National Rifle Association.
A life-long member, he served as the 2005 president of the collegiate Rifle coaches Association. Brenzovich also served as the director of the civilian Marksmanship Program for the state of Texas. He is certified as a 4-h shooting sports instructor, as well as a Texas Parks and Wildlife hunter Education instructor.

There is a very widely held view that planning regulation is weighted too heavily in favour of the status quo.
Those who live on the edges of towns and villages take pleasure in being surrounded by open countryside, and object strongly to anyone spoiling their environment by building on it.
They couch their arguments in terms of 'protecting the greenbelt' and the need to prevent England being concreted over by greedy developers for their own profit. But the fact remains that the shortage of available building sites is a major factor in the rise in house prices and the shortage of house building.
The Barker Review of Housing Supply in 2006 concluded that in large part this shortage was a result of planning restraints.
The Economist newspaper and many other commentators have suggested that rather than fanning the flames of demand to increase the supply of new housing, the government should be doing more to loosen planning regulations to increase the supply of building land.
Other countries have succeeded in this much better than the UK, while still preserving a richly varied countryside. We are almost unique in suffering from this particular problem, by giving so much power to NIMBYs.
Most European countries have much stronger zonal planning regulations than the UK.
The principle they most commonly follow is that all land is zoned and within each zone limits are set to what you can or cannot build.
There is far less emphasis on obtaining individual planning permissions for each development, which substantially reduces the scope for NIMBYs.
Each administrative district has to balance the demand for new housing against the protection of rural and other environments.
National, regional, and district plans each reflect the need for new housing development, and ensure that demand does not outstrip supply.
This approach applies in Germany, France, Holland, Denmark, and many other countries.
Providing you have sufficient land, you will be granted planning permission in France to build or enlarge properties within the rules set out in the 'certificate d'urbanisme'.
The only other factors that come into play tend to concern drainage or other public health issues.
It is the same for new build in France, where planning permission typically takes about 2 months to complete, and is largely a matter of checking that the proposed development fits within the zonal rules.
When properties in France are in close proximity to listed historical buildings the aesthetics of the proposal will also be taken into consideration.
In response to the Barker Review the Labour government introduced measures to speed up the planning process using the internet and setting target time limits.
They began a shift towards a more zonal approach to planning by introducing Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks.
In March 2013 the Coalition government's National Planning Policy Framework came into force, very much in line with the conclusions of the Barker Review.
This introduces a "presumption in favour of sustainable development" to ensure new development projects are not held up unless they are against a local community's collective interest.
The planning process has to consider the impact of new developments on the local economy, and ensure that there is a ready supply of housing to meet demand now and in the future whilst enhancing the "natural, built and historic environment".
They shied away from making planning consent a technical issue as to whether a developed complied with an agreed local plan and left democratically elected local politicians to determine it. But they introduced...
a much stronger appeals procedure the effect of which is intended to achieve a similar objective.
Simon Jenkins responded in The Guardian that this would 'sacrifice our countryside to market forces, invite corruption, and sink us in urban sprawl'.
It is too early to say how much impact the change in planning regulations might have, but it does appear to be a step in the right direction.
A major consequence of this imbalance between supply and demand is that housing in the UK has become a speculative asset.
In most of the better-off parts of Europe house prices have been much more stable than in the UK.
The Barker Review pointed out that real rates of inflation in house prices across Europe (averaging 1.1%) were less than half those in the UK (2.4%).
As a result they experienced much less difference in the benefits of home ownership over renting.
This is most strongly seen in the richer European countries.
In many of the countries that joined the EU in recent years house prices have been even more volatile than here.
In Ireland the availability of German-level interest rates following their joining the Euro combined with rapid economic growth and inflation lead to a housing boom fuelled by excessive borrowing.
They were the first casualties of the financial crisis, soon to be followed by Greece, Portugal, Spain and to a lesser extent Italy.
In all these countries house prices have fallen substantially, whilst in Germany and Austria they have remained steady throughout the crisis.
It is only in the UK that we talk about a 'housing ladder'. Once you get onto it, you are assured of an increasing asset, and can expect to move into more expensive housing as your wealth increases.
During my lifetime my home has increased in value by more than it cost me to purchase it, including the interest paid on my mortgages.
From an investment point of view, house buying in the UK is purely a cash flow problem: how much of it you can buy is limited by how much cash you can raise.
There are risks of course, and there have been a couple of severe housing crashes in the early 1990s and again twenty years later, which have resulted in some people losing substantial amounts of money, and being trapped in negative equity.
But the downside risk remains very small compared with the potential and actual gains from home-ownership.

The last thing we heard from Green Ova's Shady Blaze was the series of four EPs he released with Spadez late last year, but now he's back with a new one. Shady HXVRT was produced entirely by fellow Bay Area denizen BLVCKHXVRT.
With artwork that resembles the packaging of an M-rated Xbox game, Shady HXVRT is a dark 9 track offering from the Main Attrakionz affiliate.
