Re "Internet sales tax fight moves to Senate floor" (Tribune, April 24)
I am all in favor of online shoppers having to pay local sales tax. Not so much for the revenue generated as for making the commercial playing field equal.
If we want to keep brick-and-mortar bookstores (and other stores), they need a fair chance at competing. Why give Amazon.com such a huge advantage?
If the proposed Marketplace Fairness Act does make it easy for mom-and-pop stores by giving them collection software and providing one place to send the tax money, then our senators should support Main Street stores by supporting this bill.
And enough of Sen. Orrin Hatch's whining about the bill just because it didn't go through his committee. It's time he grew up, became a senior statesman and took this saying of President Harry S Truman to heart: "It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn't matter who gets the credit."

as it is your first post on the forums; get used to being told to google simple things for yourself before asking, here. if you are going to ask these sorts of questions; you will be the boy that cried wolf too many times, when you actually need real assistance. basic os related information should be looked for elsewhere and is easily accessible information if you even have a hope in hell of learning any B|T related subject matters.
this is a post by a user who is also new to linux asking the same question,in a thread; in a far more appropriate place. one you would have found in 1 simple search string.
@OP - Have you read about how the idle scan in nmap works? Do so now, right here. After understanding how the scan works, you should then know how an idle machine would react once you interact with it directly, and then you just need to find the most appropriate way of probing it and reviewing the results. There is one particular value in the response (or multiple response preferably) you need to look for and there are multiple ways you could choose to view it...
Note that Im not spoonfeeding here because the IDLE scan is an advanced scan type and you should understand how it works before you use it so you can interpret the results properly AND understand its limitations and the potential for errors.

Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
Thanks for the explanation Lupin
thank all
i was post my question here cuz i'am from gaza and i cant find any book in Arabic language
i understanding the idle scan how work i was read paper about it
but i can't find any paper told how can i find the idle ips
sorry for my ****in English
SABRI4EVER I don't think you understood the response given by Lupin above. I would highly encourage you to re-read it.
Also read the link he gave as well.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Well if you don't know how to find idle IP's on a network you definately should start with some basics at first.
Get a copy of Ubuntu, install it, learn it and love it.
Also get a book about TCP/IP, DNS and other network topics. Once you know that stuff start using Backtrack and research the tools and how to use them. Most of them will be self explanatory once you learned the basics. Else they will just pose a too big distraction for you.

I went with a gallon of Subaru coolant, a gallon of distilled water, and a bottle of Subaru's conditioner. I won't use anything else.

The subaru coolant only cost about $10 more so I would use it just to be safe even though it is probably the same as others.You should be safe as long as you defenantly use the subaru cooling system conditioner.Also better use distilled water.The conditioner and distilled water prevent corosion, thats why they are important.

How often should you add/replace the fluids?

Dude anything off the shelf is good. Though brands differ slighty in solution Coolant is essentially two things, distilled water (free of minerals that cause corosion) and a conditioner (to better control temp/ maintain purity). Whether or not you decide to put them in seperately or buy them premixed from Subaru or Discount auto parts THEY ARE THE SAME THING. Coolant performance only becomes relevant in high horsepower applications. Think about it, the cooling system has only ONE moving part (the pump) so whats the need for all the additives? In my opinion buying high performance coolant is like getting high performance wipers or something...

Not all coolants are the same at all, you never ever want to put Dex Cool in a system that came with the standard "Green" coolant. There are many types of engine coolant, colors range from the old standard green to the new blue coolant in the new Mercedes and BMW cars. All engine coolants help guard against corrosion and over heating if maintained properly. Some of the main differences between the green coolant and the newer mixes is the chemicals made to create the coolant. The new Red, Blue and Yellow coolants are more environmentally friendly and designed to last longer between services. All engine coolants are highly toxic and should be kept away from animals. You should not mix the different coolant types, if your engine came with red coolant then you should add red coolant only.
The manufacturers of Dexcool (red) have had a problem with the coolant lasting as long as it should, depending on the climate and driving conditions the coolant can decompose causing coolant passage blockage in the radiator and engine block.

^^^ Really excellent info
Personally, I also use 1 gallon of undiluted Subaru coolant, 1 gallon of distilled water, and 1 bottle of Subaru Cooling System Conditioner.

Cristian Alva is Bremen's rock on defense, the senior leader who's always talking to his teammates.
His vocal nature was inherited from his father, Thomas, who died in July.
"I started playing defense in fourth grade and my dad, may he rest in peace, always taught me to never be the quiet one," Alva said. "He taught me to always be a leader out there. I can thank my dad for teaching me leadership."
In Monday's season opener for both teams, Alva led Bremen's defense to a shutout and the Braves scored four times in the second half to top host Homewood-Flossmoor 4-0 in a Windy City Ram Classic first-round game.

Abortion crusader Morgentaler says deserves award
By Claire Sibonney
TORONTO (Reuters) - Henry Morgentaler, the doctor who led the fight to legalize abortion in Canada two decades ago, said on Wednesday he was proud to be receiving his country's highest civilian award, an honor condemned by anti-abortion advocates and hailed by his supporters.
The diminutive 85-year-old said he deserved to receive the Governor General's Order of Canada, a decision announced on Tuesday by Governor General Michaelle Jean, the country's head of state.
"It's a sign of recognition for all the work I've done over the years and the sacrifices I've borne and the unjust sentence of imprisonment that I've suffered 20 years ago," Morgentaler said at a press conference at his Toronto clinic.
Morgentaler, a Holocaust survivor born in Poland, began the fight for abortion rights in Canada when he opened an illegal clinic in Montreal in 1969. He was jailed for 10 months after declaring publicly that he had performed thousands of abortions without going through a strict screening process conducted by a three-doctor committee.
He was eventually acquitted in Quebec, and went on to challenge laws in other provinces, leading to a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 1988 that struck down anti-abortion provisions of the Criminal Code as unconstitutional.
"Women no longer die as a result of abortion," he said on Wednesday, "and I'm very proud of that."
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who heads the socially conservative right-leaning Conservative party, expressed unhappiness about the award.
"I guess my preference, to be frank, would be to see the Order of Canada be something that really unifies and brings Canadians together," he told a news conference. Continued...

Details and examples are one of those areas that students have struggled with when writing. Being able to cite details and examples is a skill that is valuable in reading, writing, thinking, and speaking. What are some of the things we might want to make sure students learn when we ask them to think about details and examples? We might want them to know what kinds of things are details: facts, quotes, statistics, firgurative language, the information in a visual, sensory details, and more. We also want students to know some of the things they can do with details: compare and contrast ideas, support a point of view, oppose a point of view, make a decision, describe a character, make inferences, make prediections, and more. As always, I've got a pdf copy for you – just print it out and share it with your students (and fellow educators).
Checking for Understanding
Motor Mouth Review
Motor Mouth is simply an engaging strategy for students to review important vocabulary. This can be used in any class at any grade level. Did I mention that this is also fun?
I've included the PowerPoint with directions and a template that is ready to modify for your own use.
Content Card – Solving Algebraic Expressions
Click here to get the pdf. Don't forget to run this on one sheet of paper for a one-pager (front and back) content card.
Exit Slips
Exit slips are as tool to check for understanding and get a sense of where your kids are on just about any topic you want. They are so easy to implement.
I've written basic directions and examples for using exit slips in your classroom.
Don't let this idea slip away!
Click here to download the three-page document for working with exit slips.
A quick-write is a literacy strategy that can be used in any content area. In this activity you give students a topic or let them choose one of their own and then give them five minutes or so to write quickly about the topic.
I've included brief directions for using Quick-Writes with your students and an example of how to have students fill in their writing logs.
Write About Data in Graphs – Elementary
Writing is a tool for thinking and learning. It doesn't matter what content area you teach, you'll find many opportunities to help students think through writing.
This quick overview gives a couple of ideas for having students write about data from a line graph.
Download the overview sheet and examples of having elementary students write about data.
Analysis Questions – Line Graphs
In this pdf, I've included examples of analysis questions for two different line graphs. Both of these are for the elementary level. For each set of questions, I've also included a large size of the graph that you can project and/or give students as they work to answer these questions.
Download the pdf of the Analysis Questions for a Line Graph.
Remember the Success Sequence: Draw, Talk, Write. Have the students use the visual and talk about the answers – preferably in a structured way as you call out the question. Then have students write about the graph.

Al Tahawy has a fine, cutting style (and you know I like that). For instance, on Yemen:
It's easy to see why the lowest-ranked country is Yemen, where 55 percent of women are illiterate, 79 percent do not participate in the labor force, and just one woman serves in the 301-person parliament. Horrific news reports about 12-year-old girls dying in childbirth do little to stem the tide of child marriage there. Instead, demonstrations in support of child marriage outstrip those against it, fueled by clerical declarations that opponents of state-sanctioned pedophilia are apostates because the Prophet Mohammed, according to them, married his second wife, Aisha, when she was a child.
And a bit on female genital mutilation:
I could find you a host of crackpots sounding off on Woman the Insatiable Temptress, but I'm staying mainstream with Qaradawi, who commands a huge audience on and off the satellite channels. Although he says female genital mutilation (which he calls "circumcision," a common euphemism that tries to put the practice on a par with male circumcision) is not "obligatory," you will also find this priceless observation in one of his books: "I personally support this under the current circumstances in the modern world. Anyone who thinks that circumcision is the best way to protect his daughters should do it," he wrote, adding, "The moderate opinion is in favor of practicing circumcision to reduce temptation." So even among "moderates," girls' genitals are cut to ensure their desire is nipped in the bud -- pun fully intended. Qaradawi has since issued a fatwa against female genital mutilation, but it comes as no surprise that when Egypt banned the practice in 2008, some Muslim Brotherhood legislators opposed the law. And some still do -- including a prominent female parliamentarian, Azza al-Garf.
Anyway, do read the whole thing, and LIKE it on FB, and blog on it, and pass it on.
All of that having been said, Ms al Tahawy is, as you probably know, on the losing side of this battle. At the end of the day the practice of the Prophet himself was misogynistic and anti-woman. Not always, but more often than not. But still, good for her, though if she takes her fight for women to its logical conclusion it will mean leaving Islam.

A married couple are out one night at a dance club. There's a guy on the dance floor giving it large: break dancing, moon walking, back flips, the works. The wife turns to her husband and says, "See that guy? Twenty years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down." The husband says, "Looks like he's still celebrating!"
Dylan was practicing his golf swing in his front yard when he swung a little too hard and sent the ball through his neighbors window. Dylan ran over and rang the doorbell three times. After no one answered for a few minutes, he opened the door to see broken glass everywhere, a lamp lying on the ground, and a huge fat Arabian man wearing a turban sitting on the couch. Dylan asked, "Who are you?" The fat man replied, "I am a genie you have freed from that lamp." Dylan questioned, "Oh man, do I get three wishes?" The genie replied, "Since you freed me by accident you only get two and I get one." Dylan thought about it and realized what he wanted, "I want to be the best golfer ever." The surprised genie said, "You sure? Most people wish for money, but okay. Now your wife gets one wish." Dylan brought over his wife who wished right away, "I want a million dollars every week of my life." The genie said, "Granted. And now for my wish, I have been cramped up in that lamp for many years so its been a while since I've been with a woman. I want one day of wild, crazy sex with your wife, Dylan." Dylan said, "No way!" The genie replied, "Not even for a million dollars a week?" Dylan turned to his wife, who said, "I guess for all that, I should. Well, not until Dylan leaves." Dylan said, "Okay, have fun, I guess," and left. Dylan's wife then proceeded to have wild sex for the rest of the day with the genie. When they were finished, the genie asked how old her husband was. She said, "Forty-five." The Genie laughed and said, "Isn't he a little old to be believing in genies?"
An explorer goes into an undiscovered tomb for the first time, and in the center of the tomb there's a lamp. He picks it up, and as he starts to rub the dirt off of it, a genie comes out of the lamp and says, "I want to know the person you hate the most." The explorer says, "That's gotta be my ex-wife. Why?" "I am a cursed genie. I will grant you three wishes, but whatever you wish for, your ex-wife will get double that amount." "Okay, I wish for a billion dollars." "Granted, but you ex-wife gets two billion dollars." "I wish for a mansion in California with a swimming pool, and tennis courts, everything." "Granted, and your ex-wife gets two." "Now make your final wish." The explorer walks around for a few minutes, returns to the genie with a stick, and says, "You see this stick? I'd like you to beat me half to death."
A couple are rushing into the hospital because the wife is going into labor. As they walk, a doctor says to them that he has invented a machine that splits the pain between the mother and father. They agree to it and are led into a room where they get hooked up to the machine. The doctor starts it off at 20% split towards the father. The wife says, "Oh, that's actually better." The husband says he can't feel anything. Then the doctor turns it to 50% and the wife says that it doesn't hurt nearly as much. The husband says he sill can't feel anything. The Doctor, now encouraged, turns it up to 100%. The husband still can't feel anything, and the wife is really happy, because there is now no pain for her. The baby is born. The couple go home and find the postman groaning in pain on the doorstep.
During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approaches the pastor with an unusual offer. "Look, I'll give you $100 if you'll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I'm supposed to promise to 'love, honor, and obey' and 'be faithful to her forever,' I'd appreciate it if you'd just leave that out." He passes the minister a $100 bill and walks away satisfied. On the day of the wedding, when it comes time for the groom's vows, the pastor looks the young man in the eye and says, "Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?" The groom gulps, looks around, and says in a tiny voice, "Yes," then leans toward the pastor and hisses, "I thought we had a deal." The pastor puts a $100 bill into the groom's hand and whispers, "She made me a better offer."
A bus full of housewives going on a picnic crashed with no survivors. Each husband cried for a week, but one husband continued for more than two weeks. When asked he replied miserably, "My wife missed the bus."
Two men were talking. "So, how's your sex life?"
"Oh, nothing special. I'm having Social Security sex."
"Social Security sex?"
"Yeah, you know, I get a little each month, but not enough to live on."
A husband, who has six children, begins to call his wife "mother of six" rather than by her first name. The wife, amused at first, chuckles. A few years down the road, the wife has grown tired of this. "Mother of six," he would say, "what's for dinner tonight? Get me a beer!" She gets very frustrated. Finally, while attending a party with her husband, he jokingly yells out, "Mother of six, I think it's time to go!" The wife immediately shouts back, "I'll be right with you, father of four!"
One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in stunningly sexy lingerie. "Tie me up," she purred, "And you can do anything you want." So he tied her up and went golfing.
A woman was nagging her husband to cut the grass, to which the husband answered, "What do I look like to you? A landscaper?!" Next time the sink was dripping, she asked him again, "Honey, can you fix the faucet?" The husband replied, "What do I look like to you? A Plumber?!" Two days later, a light bulb went out and she begged him again, "Honey, can you change the light bulb?" His reply was, "What am I? An electrician?!" A few days later, the husband comes home from work to find that the lawn is cut, the faucet is fixed, the light bulb is changed. Very surprised, he says, "Honey, what happened here?" The wife replies, "You know our new next door neighbor? He came over and fixed everything." The husband says, "Honey, how did you pay him?!" "Oh, you know," the wife says, "he told me that I could either bake him a cake or have sex with him." Somewhat relieved the husband asks, "Whew, so what kind of a cake did you bake for him?" The wife replies, "Who do you think I am? Betty Crocker?!"
Man: "Wanna hear a joke about my penis? Oh never mind, it's too long."
Woman: "Want to hear a joke about my vagina? Never mind, you'll never get it."

Glad it all worked out. Sorry to hear about your accident. Good thing everyone was ok. It seems many report good results when advising LEOs they are carrying.
This is a discussion on My first interaction with LEO while carrying within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So we're on our way home from vacation - we flew to CA from FL with all 5 kids for my brother's wedding. We left ...
So we're on our way home from vacation - we flew to CA from FL with all 5 kids for my brother's wedding. We left CA at 10:55pm last night, flew all night, had a LONG layover then flew into Jacksonville. We actually live in central FL but drive up to Jax to leave the dog with good friends. We don't park at the airport and I'd left my BUG in a lockbox in the car so we'd have it while in a Jax hotel on the trip out. Anyway, we get to the van today after flying all night and I slip my gun in my waistband where it belongs, glad to be out of CA. While driving home we get into an accident. The officer asked for my info and although I have no duty to report, I did anyway out of courtesy. He handed my permit back to me and said unless you're crrying I don't need it. I informed him I was and that's why I gave it to him. He asked where my gun was and said as long as it stays there, we're good. Later, in a lull of all the drama he walked up and asked what I had, just out of curiosity. We spoke of it for a second then he had things to do again. When we left he said he marked on the report that I should go see a dr tomorrow as I was already hurting. I told him I planned on going to the ER when we left the scene since although I'm not badly injured I'm in pain. He recommended I not bring it in the ER because "they will flip out" I laughed and thanked him, telling him I already planned on putting it in the lockbox in the car. The experience couldn't have gone better (except the whole getting into an accident part, which honestly I feel blessed - the kids are unhurt and the van can be fixed. I'll be sore a few days I'm sure, but really it all could have been so much worse!)

I was advised by a coworker to never tell LEOs that you're carrying, but from what I've heard on here, it's probably best to inform them. I don't have a duty to inform in my state, either, but I think I will if I ever get stopped.

Glad you're okay -- And for the record, I know a bunch of stories just like yours (when telling a LEO that you're carrying) and very few that "went south" unless there was something odd going on in the first place.
Wow that must have been an adventure in itself.we flew to CA from FL with all 5 kids for my brother's wedding.
Glad you are ok and it went well with the LE encounter. I have a duty to inform and even if I didn't I still would out of common courtesy to the officer but that me and others would not, their choice.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
Most Florida LEOs are cool about weapons.
At a big gun show here in the Orlando area, I tld many Leos that I am writing an article and asked this question of them:
"Although Fl law does not REQUIRE informing, do you want to know?"
The concesus was "if its in your glove box, center console or other CLOSED compartment, don't tell, unless you have to go into that compartment. If is one your person, let us know. Then follow the officers insdtructions"
Many departments ride two officers to a car. The other one is looking at you thru the passenger side window. If you are reaching for your wallet, and the gun becomes exposed, and your hand is going there, it could become a very nasty situation..
Most said that they will say something to the effect of "don't reach where it is"
One said 'you leave yours where it is and I'll leave mine where it is"
I had a blowout tire on my boat trailer. I stopped to change the tire, and a Hiway Patrol Seargent stopped and turned on his blue lights to keep cars away from us. I informed because I had my 642 in my pocket. he said "Thanks for telling me, it does not show."
BY the way, FHP carries .45 glocks
Every time I stopped someone for a minor traffic infraction and they informed me that they were CCW I sent them on their way with a verbal warning. We had a saying...it's not the people who tell you that they are armed that you have to be worried about.
On the flip side, I knew guys that ALWAYS asked the driver to step out and seized the firearm while they did their records checks...
Down, right, aft...
I personally wouldn't tell unless asked to exit the vehicle or asked if I was carrying, I've heard cops say it's pointless information they don't want and some even get jumpy.

Christmas cheer
Sarfraz Manzoor (Comment, last week) writes that 'the great strength of a festival like Thanksgiving is that it allows those of all backgrounds and all religions and none to enjoy ... without feeling that they are betraying their beliefs'. Presumably not, though, the native Americans, who would be celebrating the betrayal of their own people. Christians bemoan a Christmas that has lost its religious significance, which is true, and I think there should be a natural return to its original significance - a pagan winter festival. As an English Jew, Christmas leaves me soft and warm.
I celebrate it as an inclusive ancient English festival, celebrating food, family and comfort in the bleak midwinter. And I give thanks for that.

Campbell coup
Sir Menzies Campbell (Comment, last week) is one of the few senior political figures in our country who has managed to retain his integrity and honour over the Iraq debacle.
Would that he were now Prime Minister instead of the serial liar and war criminal now in that office.

You can file this one under "it's about time," though I suspect for some people it can go under "too little too late." For years, Microsoft only allowed those with Xbox Live Gold subscriptions to use applications like Netflix, Hulu, and even YouTube. I imagine that for a lot of gamers, this was never an issue, as anyone who wants to play online is likely already a Gold subscriber. �That isn't true for everyone, however, namely those who use Microsoft's console as a media machine, which is something the company actively encourages.
While this won't bring me back (at least to my 360), I'm happy to report that after years of perfectly reasonable complaints, Microsoft is dropping the Gold restriction and now those with lowly Xbox Live Silver accounts will be able to watch all the Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, etc that they please. Xbox Live Silver account holders will also be able to use OneDrive (formerly Skydrive), Internet Explorer, and OneGuide. Online gaming will still require Gold, but most if not all other online services won't.
Of course, Xbox Live Gold users still get Games for Gold, which is as good a reason as any to keep the service. That, and Microsoft is promising future Gold-exclusive sales that will feature hefty discounts.
Xbox Live Silver users can start binge-watching their favorite shows in June.

Should High Schools Play The National Anthem Before Sports? [VIDEO / POLL]
It's a part of virtually every sporting event on the college and pro levels: a live or recorded performance of the National Anthem. The Anthem is frequently part of high school sports as well. But now a sports federation in neighboring Pennsylvania has told its member schools to stop the music. Why?
The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League has 183 member schools in central and western Pennsylvania. Those schools have been notified to stop playing the National Anthem before games by League officials.
It sounds…well, unpatriotic. But the league comissioner says there's a good reason for the call. Here's a report from Pittsburgh's KDKA-TV:[pittsburgh.cbslocal.com]
It's easy to see the League's point; every hockey parent knows ice is expensive. But weigh that against a healthy sense of respect for the US. It's important to develop a love of country in our young people. It didn't look like the people in that video wanted the Anthem to go away. Do you?:

Resume Heat Maps

Image: The Ladders
I don't see much difference in the color scheme between the two examples. It's also too small and blurry to read what the subject is actually looking at. What I see is that the location of what the recruiter is looking for (approximately a third of the way from the top of the page) is what they are looking for.
Could you home-in on the hotspots? I'd like what words caught the reader's attention.
Wow. If the recruiters are only interested in looking at the top portion of the first page — where your most recent position will be described — does that indicate that you shouldn't expect to be attempting anything other than a parallel move. If they're looking for career progression, they need to be looking at the bottom of the page (and the second page as well), no? Between ATS software that knocks most candidates' resumes out of contention and recruiters that are spending only a few seconds glancing (you can hardly call it reading) at a printed resume it's a wonder anyone ever gets hired.
Don't be silly! Recruiters need to know the last job you worked so they can gauge what you might be interested in and capable of doing in your next job. It has nothing to do with making a lateral move, but understanding the logical career progression. Moreover, the 6-second scan is only the first pass at the resume – the time when we disqualify most candidates. The remaining "keepers" will get the deeper look.

OTX Gameplan's Top 50 Most Anticipated Games....contains no mmorpgs?
- courtesy Gamasutra.com
The Demographics
1,000 gamers
Between ages 13 - 59
Tested Via webs offers.
Average score for all three metrics is 100
Halo:ODST has an intent rating of 8 times higher than the average game at 878, to give you an idea.
Chart tracks three key measures: aided awareness of a game, the intent to purchase it, and the intent to pre-order the game from retailers. Gamestop anyone?
Ok, I agree with many of the games that are in the top 10, I'm even looking forward to Assassin's Creed 2.
And wouldn't care usually but it's been all over the net today and I had to comment on it, it seemed odd.
So without 1 mmorpg on the list, that means that Star Wars:The Old Republic is rated as a below average game? The Hype Meter here is at 8.52 based on 1842 votes, that's double of who they say they "tested" online. I don't know who they talked to but something doesn't seem kosher here.
Hmmm, I'm so tempted to make a forum post with a poll for top ten games with mmos added in. Maybe it would be a jilted survey because this IS MMORPG.com
What do you think?
Play safe,
i think most gamers (even most of those 11 million subs WoW has) don't even know about MMO's until they are released/on the game shelves.
You wont see an MMO on this list until they go all out on the marketing and even then i doubt it will rank up there on that list. To be prefectly honest the vast gaming population (and it is vast, something like 70% of Australian households have a game machine of some description) there are plenty of people who simply walk into their local store every month or two, grab the first box that catches their eye, play it and either play it for hours and hours or hardly touch it at all.
They don't bother with websites like these, they don't bother with reviews, they are impulse buyers and they make up a huge percent of the MMO population.
Tue Jun 23 2009 11:29PM Report
Three things really bug the ever-loving shit out of me with this news. The first being that as usual, a Halo product is at the top. Why it's the top game with gamers' intent to purchase is beyond me because the game is nowhere near being a good FPS. It's pretty much like playing Goldeneye with nice graphics and updated weapons with the Master Chief as the front man.
FPS games are meant to be played on the PC. Console FPS is the most retarded thing I have ever had the mispleasure of playing. I absolutely hate console FPS and find it to be utterly dumbed-down for the massive base of below-average IQ console gamers.
Second, there are only TWO (2) PC games on that entire list. I realize that consoles are more accessible and cheaper than PCs but come on... I play a game once on console and it bores me after that. I need MODS to spice up the games at that point and consoles have VERY limited modifiable capabilities. Consoles lack the power to do that kind of work and will never come close to the capabilities a PC (or Mac, respectively) has.
Third, like you, I am appauled at the lack of MMO games on that list. I mean, there's not a single one. They obviously targeted specifically the console players, and that sickens me.
In my life I consider only a few things at the top of my priority list. One of those is gaming and let me tell you, friend, our type of gamers have been shut out. It's time for a revolution...Wed Jun 24 2009 2:28AM Report

In a sudden surge that took Asian health officials by surprise, the Japanese health ministry confirmed on Monday at least 125 new cases of the A(H1N1) virus — or swine flu — in the country's western prefectures of Osaka and Hyogo. Officials have shut down around 1,000 schools since many of the infected were high-school students. Japan, along with the United Kingdom and Spain, is now one of the few countries outside of North America where the World Health Organization (WHO) fears sustained human-to-human transmission of the virus could lead to the onset of a full-blown pandemic. "We must respond calmly and appropriately," warned Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso at a press conference Monday morning.

Best way to fall back in love with you family? Get outside and do something active.
We headed up to Mt. Baker and couldn't find the playing/sledding area so we just carved out our own fun in the back part of the parking lot by the lodge, and it was just right! Hills to climb and fall down, space for snow angels, and tiny snowman building. Soon as I figure out how to upload pictures from my phone onto my computer, you will be inundated again with fun snow pictures. For now, here are some snapshots of our day!
Beautiful drive up with a sleeping baby and chatty big girl.
Exploring and "snow flake ball" building. I can't believe that last year she sobbed in the snow, wouldn't sled, and was scared of "cold white yuck" and this year she couldn't get enough.
Ever enjoyed the snow too.
Navigating the slippery slopes together.
Getting ready to hike around with baby on the front and big girl on the back. Baby carriers are our saving grace.
Packing the sleepy Nolie all around. This was an incredibly fun way to get a workout. We will for sure be heading up there again before the season ends! And, Nolie was so intrigued by the snowboarders, we are thinking of saving up and getting her an hour lesson with Charlie! Having a full blown toddler is SO much fun!

Local governments still cutting jobs
After April's employment report brought word of 15,000 more cuts of government workers, are states and local governments closer to the bottom?
Sort of. States are stabilizing as tax receipts tick up. They're helped by the upward march of private-sector jobs, which climbed by 130,000 as the national unemployment rate dipped to 8.1% in April, the government said Friday.
But local governments that rely on property taxes still have deep problems and won't hire much until housing values rebound, says Greg Daco, an economist at IHS Global Insight.
INTERACTIVE: Where the jobs are
"The state and local governments are still dealing with challenges," says Lucy Dadayan, an analyst at the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government. "The long-term trends don't look good."
States actually added 1,000 workers last month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported, while local governments cut 12,000 and the federal government cut 4,000. At all levels, governments employ about 22 million Americans, about one-fifth the number who work for private employers. Since the job market bottomed out in 2010, governments have cut more than 1 million jobs as companies added 4.25 million.
State tax receipts rose 3.6% in the last quarter of 2011, and are now above their pre-recession peak, according to the Rockefeller Institute. Preliminary data suggest state tax receipts rose 4% in the first two months of 2012, the institute says.
Adjusted for inflation, local taxes fell 1% in the fourth quarter, it says.
This means poor prospects for workers such as teachers and police officers who work for local governments, Dadayan says. More than 10,000 jobs were lost in education last month.
Even states still have problems, Dadayan says.
Most state-level revenue gains came in two states, Illinois and Connecticut, that raised income-tax rates last year, Dadayan says.
While opponents said the increases would drive out jobs, the early impact has been mixed. Illinois' unemployment rate has dropped 1.3 percentage points to 8.8%, while Connecticut's has fallen 1.2 points to 7.7%. Each has outperformed the national average while adding jobs more slowly than at least some neighboring states, Moody's Analytics economist Daniel White says.
Illinois' experience shows states are under such pressure that boosting taxes won't automatically save public jobs, White says. Illinois will have more layoffs because of fast-rising Medicaid costs, White says.
The state has added 54,000 private-sector jobs since the tax package was proposed, says Brooke Anderson, a spokeswoman for Gov. Pat Quinn. Getting the budget under control is necessary to restore business confidence, she says.
"Medicaid and pensions are taking 39% of our budget," Anderson says. "We've cut more than at any time in recent years and we have to cut more."
Government contractors are also still getting hurt. Friday's report said losses among school-bus makers helped drive a 17,000-job loss in transportation equipment industry jobs in April. States have cut construction spending early this year, with infrastructure spending dropping 1.5% in March, IHS Global Insight said in a research note late last month.
"State and local spending on construction has dropped about 20% from where it was three years ago," IHS Global Insight's Daco says.

AUDAX TW025A12 Tweeter???
Do you have experience with AUDAX TW025A12 tweeter? It is 96 dB/2.83V. I cannot see whether it is ferrfluid cooled. Is this very important? Thanks,
Really no one? Specs and money draws no one's attention?
Dude, take a deep breath. Sometimes threads get missed.
On to the tweeter: 96 db is really efficient, so that's great if you need that sort of thing, but look at the ridges in the spectral decay plot. Ridges mean there's a resonance somewhere in the mechanism, and depending on how long they are they can mess up transparency. The first one looks like it's around 1 kHz, so if your crossover is more than 12 db down there you should be not great, but OK. The second one, at about 2 kHz, is of a bit more concern because it's closer to the specified 2.5 kHz xover, but again if you're running a 4th order Linkwitz-Riley you'll be about 10 or 12 dB down there.
The real problem, as I see it, is the flock of poorly damped decays between 7 and 12 kHz, possibly harmonics of a slight resonance around 3.5 kHz. They look as if they take about 3.5 milliseconds to decay about 25 dB, or about 25 to 40 periods at 7 to 12 kHz. If you plot that out, it's a slowly decaying sinusoid, which means it's ringing like a bell at those frequencies. That might make the tweeter sound wiry in the top end even if the response were flat, which it surely is not on-axis. I suspect the depth and shape of the front plate might be a contributing factor, as it appears designed to be a very short horn, which might partly explain the high sensitivity and the resonances.
Long story short, if you want to try something, buy the tweeter, mill a shallower new front plate for it, and see if you like that better. You'll probably lose a dB or two, but I suspect the top octave will become much more relaxed than the stock item. Fs could also go up a tad because of decreased mass loading, so you want to keep an eye on the impedance peak to make sure it doesn't mess up your crossover. Finally, you might have to get shorter mounting screws to avoid trashing the magnetic structure.
Thanks a lot for taking your time and answering.
I was planning to use these in 3-way speakers, abowe 5000 Hz with 12 db crossover. So, probably I wouldn't care too much about the dips but the points you made about the decay times may be relevant.
The thing is I have seen many waterfall diagrams for the ribbon tweeters but this is the first time I see it for a "conventional" tweeter (at least in my budget range). So, how to make comparison with similarly priced and respected units (like Vifa's) as long as the decay times are considered? Do you have a source of data?
I'm not saying you'll find decay curves for most tweeters, but hunting around can find you lots of interesting things. Look up the archives here for tweeters - there's an awful lot of smart people who've tried an awful lot of drivers. Bring a lunch.
You mentioned a 96db sensitivity but you didn't say why you needed it. I suggest you take a look at Morel if a 90db sensitivity will work for you.
I use this tweeter in 3 way design and have a lot of trouble to integrate it,aded notch filter at 10500hz but sound are very sharp bright and fresh. but forget about anything about long listening without fatique :(
Salvaging Audax
Hi folks, first post on here so bear with me :D
I bought some DIY floorstanders of Ebay and to cut a long story short, i was'nt impressed at all!
I went on very little and was basically hoping they would be good as i have previously heard Audax drivers and been very pleased.
Cabinets were made of chipboard and not very well constructed at all, they include........
three 6" - Audax HT170F0 and 1" tweet - Audax TW025A1 in each speaker, I have since purchased other speakers which i am very happy with so was hoping to use the above an try to make some surrounds and maybe with a purchase of one more tweeter a centre channel as well. Do you know anywhere that would work out the size of the box needed for the surrounds and work a crossover to suit the above drivers??
Thanks for your help

Does anybody know where I could get a Bossk Mask?
If Trandoshans were real beings somewhere, I don't see how evolution would have their arms like that. No opposable thumb, super long forearm, I wish the creature designers had just given Bossk a more human arm. It doesn't even look like they could blow their noses. They'd need an extra elbow on their arm.
Oh WOW, I just realized how old this thread was.......
Meesa embarassed...
Yeah, sorry for the necro. But seriously, I can't find a mask anywhere :/
This is the guy on Ebay that we got our mask from.

"We have acquired David Wells to make our team better," said Grady Fuson, the Padres vice-president of scouting and player development. "As of right now it is for a player to be named later. We can't really comment on who the player is until other details of the trade have been finalized."
Most media outlets have reported that the player to be named later is catcher George Kottaras, 23, who was the #4 ranked prospect by Madfriars.com for 2006. Kottaras, who was rumored to have been shopped during the July 31 trade deadline in an attempt to acquire a third baseman, would have been one of the top Padres' prospects going into 2007.
The critical rule that prevents the Padres from naming Kottaras is that all players on the 40-man roster must pass through waivers, even if that player (Kottaras) is in the minor leagues.
The rules of the player to be named later state that the deal must close within six months and the player must change leagues.
The play of catchers Mike Piazza and Josh Bard on the big club and of Nick Hundley at Lake Elsinore decreased Kottaras' value to the club, despite a solid performance with the Mobile BayBears in the Southern League this year. Sources from within the organization have never questioned Kottaras' potential to hit on a major league level, but many had doubts if he would ever evolve into a top flight defensive catcher.
Wells, 43, won 15 games for the Red Sox in 2005 but was never comfortable under the intense media glare of Boston and the distance from his family in San Diego. It was thought that the Padres would be able to swing a deal for Wells before the beginning of the season with the Red Sox, but Boston's reluctance to take back pitchers Woody Williams or Chan Ho Park nixed the potential trade.
He only recently became healthy after struggling with a multitude of injuries this year and has pitched effectively in his last five starts in August with a 2.65 ERA.
The Padres beat out the Dodgers for Wells' services with an eye on the last month of the season -- and beyond. Wells has a 10-4 record in postseason play with a 3.15 ERA. He has two World Series rings.
"I think we got one of the biggest big-game pitchers in the game," said Padres general manager Kevin Towers, who developed a solid friendship with Wells during the negotiations before the 2004 season. "And we're getting him when he's hot. He's been exceptional of late. I'm hoping he's going to be a difference-maker."
Wells has frequently said that this will be his last year, but Fuson also stated that because he will be pitching at home, and not three thousand miles away, there is a possibility that Wells could be enticed to pitch another year, which played a part in the Padres' decision to re-acquire him.
"It certainly is part of it," added Fuson. "We're looking to win now, but we always have an eye to the future."

Mini Crustless Tofu Quiches
Sometimes we get the best ideas from our buddies. While training with a local running group, a friend brought along some post workout treats. Not only delicious, but nutritious! A perfect little savory snack like this will keep you "running" for more! Thanks Heather!
Vegans, you will LOVE this recipe! Let us know what you think!!!
Recipe indulged from FatFree Vegan Kitchen (tofu-licious!)
- olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup bell pepper
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives (or one green onion)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp. dried, crushed)
- black pepper to taste
- 1 12.3-ounce package lite firm silken tofu, drained of water
- 1/4 cup plain soymilk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (may sub another thickener such as arrowroot or potato starch)
- 1 teaspoon tahini (preferred) or cashew butter
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Spray 12 regular-sized muffin cups well with non-stick spray. (I used silicone cups like these.)
- Lightly spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil and sauté the garlic, bell peppers, and mushrooms over medium heat until the mushrooms just begin to exude their juices. Stir in the chives, rosemary, and freshly ground black pepper, and remove from the heat.
- Place the remaining ingredients into a food processor or blender. Process until completely smooth and silky. Add the tofu mixture to the vegetables and stir to combine. Spoon equally into the 12 muffin cups: it will fill regular muffin cups about halfway.
- Put the muffin pan into the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 350 F. Bake until the tops are golden and a knife inserted into the middle of a quiche comes out clean–about 25-35 minutes depending on your oven and muffin cups (silicone will take longer than metal, so if you're using a metal pan, check it at 20 minutes). Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. Enjoy! They're light, so plan on making more of these—or serve hearty side dishes—if you're serving more than 3 people.

The crystallographic and physical characters resemble those of dolomite and chalybite.
Part of the Houses of Parliament at Westminster is built of dolomite.
At Danbury the mineral occurs with microcline and oligoclase embedded in dolomite.
There was a lot of dolomite and old fine cinder, very dusty, but not hot.
The dolomite or magnesian limestone of the English Permian is an instance of this.
"dolomite," said the first-helper to me, after the "jigger" was poured.
The prevalence of crystalline, concretionary and drusy structures in dolomite can thus be simply explained.
This one was perched on top of a dolomite pile, ten feet off the ground.
He's got to stare down her throat, to watch where the dolomite lands.
"All right," I said, and picked up a shovel from the dolomite pile.
1794, named for French geologist Déodat De Gratet De Dolomieu (1750-1801) who described the rock in his study of the Alps (1791).

London: A little Yemeni girl has been crying stones instead of tears, which has baffled doctors and panicked superstitious villagers.
Representational picture
Saadiya Saleh produces little hard stones under her eyelids, which has gripped the villagers with the fear that she is possessed by the devil's magic, the Mirror reported.
Doctors said they couldn't give an explanation for this phenomenon since the 12-year-old girl isn't suffering from any known disease.
A YouTube film aired by Yemen's Azal satellite TV channel showed doctors gathering a small box full of stones that dropped out of the girl's eyes in just a few hours.

Shaza Alzaim, University of Massachusetts Boston
Shaza Alzaim, a junior in the Honors Program and a political science and philosophy double major at the University of Massachusetts Boston, is passionate about approaching root causes of social inequities through policy change and legal aid. She has focused on health care and education issues in many political and community capacities because of her belief that these are universal rights affecting all people. Shaza's consistent commitment has flourished through her initial volunteer work with Best Buddies, and onto several internships at the Mayor's Office in Braintree, the Massachusetts State House, and in the Office of former Senator John Kerry. Perhaps the most courageous civic commitment that Shaza made was to run for school committee in Braintree in 2011. She also believes that a strong academic record obligates one to serve the needs of others, organizing a group to participate in American Cancer Society's fundraisers, and most recently establishing a group of honors students to fundraise for and participate in a local Hospice Walk. Grounded in her belief that any person can make change happen, Shaza will undoubtedly carry this into her career in politics or law and find significant ways to contribute to solving society's most pressing problems.

Dear Friends,
Now that in Ediciones Lumbrera we have sent our final book of the Peacemaker series to the printer, my job centers around promoting and selling our materials. After working closely with a few denominations this year, I recently decided to expand our influence and contact all the major denominations in the country. This has been an eye-opening and at times hilarious experience. My data base consists of an out-of-date Directory of Christian organizations, including pizza parlours, auto mechanics, hairdressers, and some churches, which are listed randomly, neither in alphabetical order or by denomination. I also have a list of denominations, with out of date contact information.
This task has then become a major detective investigation. A few of the interesting questions I have encountered:
* Is the Iglesia Santidad Pentecostal the same denomination as the Iglesia Pentecostal Santidad? (no, they are totally unrelated)
* Is the Iglesia de Cristo, of which 20 appear in the directory, a denomination or a random group of churches having chosen the same name? (I called several churches, and they themselves did not know the answer to this question.)
* Is the Iglesia del Pacto the Evangelical Covenant Church, which I used to belong to? (No, it's some Pentecostal group started from a congregation in the southern US.)
* Is the Iglesia Misionera Bautista the same as the Iglesia Bautista Misionera the same as the Iglesia Bautista Misionera Internacional (ABA)? This was the funniest one. I called up the Iglesia Misionera Bautista in Alajuelita to consult on this point. After introducing myself, I asked, and the pastor said that yes, they were all the same, and gave some more information before bursting out laughing and introducing himself: he was one of our pastors, and I had called a Federation church, which just happened to have "Misionera†in its name. I did finally track down the head honcho of this ABA denomination.
I looked up Christian NGO's in Costa Rica to see if any could use our stuff. The British based Educacion Plus popped up, so I called them and explained who I was. The woman said, "I know you; I used to sell your books at IINDEFâ€. When I talked to the director, he said, "Come on over. I'm a graduate of the Baptist Seminary.†The British missionary working with them was a colleague of my friends. They bought 3 sets of books instantly.
I have also started contacting schools, since some choose their textbooks in August for the new school year in February. I have been astonished at the positive reception to my calls. No-one has turned me down, and it has been easy to set up appointments to talk with people. I haven't actually sold much yet, but it all looks promising.
All this represents God working major miracles in my life in response to intensive prayer. I have always hated anything related to marketing and sales, and, in addition, have always been resistant to making phone calls. But somehow God has given me grace to do this job, and I am having much better results than the professional salesman that we had last year. So I am praising God and feeling empowered by my success in making a major attitude change.
Please pray with me that we will be able to make an impact on Costa Rican society through the schools and churches with our materials.
In Christ,
Ruth Mooney

Midwest Economy Slows Down
A new monthly survey of bankers suggests the economy is slowing down in rural areas of Nebraska, Iowa and eight other Midwestern states.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss says falling crop prices have farmers spending less, and crop prices are expected to continue declining this fall.
The overall economic index for the region fell into negative territory to 48.3 in August from July's 51.8.
The survey indexes range from 0 to 100. Any score below 50 suggests decline in the months ahead.
Goss said bankers are not very optimistic about the next few months. The survey's confidence index dropped to 39.9 in August, from 42.9.
Bankers from rural areas of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota and the Dakotas were surveyed.

/// With $15M From Benchmark, Former Facebook CTO Bret Taylor's Quip Aims to Take Productivity Mobile
Former Facebook CTO Bret Taylor is now on a mission to "build the productivity suite for the mobile era." His first app launched tonight: Quip for iOS (plus a preview version for Android), which is a collaborative document editor. "The transition from PC to phones and tablets is so significant that all the software is going to change dramatically," Taylor posited in a phone interview. "There's been so much effort around social and messaging [on mobile]. I don't mean this in a negative way, but those are time-wasting applications." Previous attempts to improve productivity software have wilted in Microsoft's shadow — and to a somewhat lesser extent are now dwarfed by Google Docs — but Taylor thinks mobile might be the opening. "There could be an opportunity for company of our size to compete in this space for the first time in 30 years," he said. Taylor, who helped start Google Maps and saw his FriendFeed social aggregation app acquired by Facebook, left Facebook last summer . He started Quip with his former Google coworker Kevin Gibbs, who was instrumental in creating Google App Engine and Google Suggest. The company has raised $15 million from Benchmark Capital, led by Peter Fenton, along with Greylock Capital, Marc Benioff, Yuri Milner and Ron Conway. It has 12 employees and is based in San Francisco. Quip's features include online and offline editing, automatic formatting to the size of the screen, and push notifications that alert someone who created a document and shared it when the recipient first opens it, so they can jump in and walk them through right then. "That previously would have been a high latency email thread, followed by a meeting," Taylor said. (The implication: uggh.) Bret Taylor Quip is built to be "free form," Taylor said. It doesn't have all the features a traditional word processor would. It does have some novel additions, like a checklist that could be used for a shared shopping list or product management. And when people make changes to a document, they're noted as part of a chat conversation with everyone involved. "It's almost like a shared white board and not just a piece of paper anymore," Taylor said

Either is a great gun...I personally have an SR40C and I love it. It is super accurate, easy shooting, carries very very well, and is dead nuts dependable.
This is a discussion on CC - XD40SC or SR40C? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Thoughts?...
Mine: Springfield XD45 Compact
Hers: Springfield XD40 Subcompact
Either is a great gun...I personally have an SR40C and I love it. It is super accurate, easy shooting, carries very very well, and is dead nuts dependable.
God grants Liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
~Daniel Webster
Your points are shallow... my points are Hollow....
I have an XDmC .9mm and SR40c, and I would carry whichever you shoot better. The two guns are very close in size, so carry what you shoot better!
Ruger, American made, better grip texture, ambi controls.
Sounds good guys... I will stick with my Ruger then! :D Finally getting it broken in anyway! ;)
Mine: Springfield XD45 Compact
Hers: Springfield XD40 Subcompact
Both are good pistols, use the one that you are most comfortable with.
I have both, the xd9sc and an sr9c. The Ruger is nice, a little lighter and thinner, but the XD is incredible! The Ruger isn't even in the same class. The XD has a much "beefier"? heavy duty feel to it, and points very naturally. The trigger on mine is the same every shot. I added a Ghost trigger bar to the sr9c because it varied so much from shot to shot. There is a reason you don't see LE or professionals carrying the Ruger, but lots of XD, S&W, Glock, Sig. They really are that much more of a firearm than the Ruger. Would I trust my life to the Ruger? In most circumstances, yes. Would I trust my life to the XD, without hesitation! The extra weight and width are a small price to pay for stone cold reliability. This is just my opinion, for what it's worth......
American made is a good point. I have the SR9c and I really like it. Pretty much identical to the .40. It disappears in a CBST, totally comfortable for all-day carry. Echo----try both and get the one you like best and shoot best.
I shoot with a pistol and a Canon. We must all hang together amigos, or we will all hang separately. NRA life member.
I have an SR40c and and XDm, would choose the XDm but the SR40c is a great gun, just a little less craftsmanship.
The LE's that i know of carry the xd by choice, you are correct. Have you ever heard of ANY dept. carrying a Ruger sr series? Has the Ruger completed any reliability trials like the xd? do a web search on xd and you can read about the 20k torture test that it passed with flying colors. That's all i needed to know!
Both are good guns. But Im partial to the xdsc. I now have an M&P 9mm compact. Thats a great gun to. My son owns the xdsc now though.
Both good guns but I much prefer the XD40SC. Why? It has been my EDC for the past five years.
Well... I took the advice of this thread and went and shot the XD to see how it compared to my SR... I love it. I feel the grip is a little wider, but I think it fit my hand better.
I noticed a little slack in the trigger, where the SR had NONE... but it's something I will get used to; as I bought an XD this morning. ;)
$399 for the essentials package (no holsters or speed loader; just two mags, cleaning brush and the hard case)
Mine: Springfield XD45 Compact
Hers: Springfield XD40 Subcompact

UPDATE 1-Motor racing-Lotus leave it later than ever
(Adds Lotus granted waiver from Thursday scrutineering)
By Alan Baldwin
ABU DHABI Nov 26 (Reuters) - Lotus mechanics were hurriedly unpacking the Formula One team's cars from crates on Thursday after ongoing financial problems delayed their preparations for the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The team, who are hoping to be taken over by Renault imminently, said unspecified issues with the circuit organisers had been resolved and the cars would be ready for Friday practice.
Race stewards said in a statement that the team had sought and been granted a waiver from Thursday's mandatory scrutineering, the official inspection that would normally see cars excluded from the race weekend if not presented on time.
The stewards agreed instead that the Lotus cars would undergo scrutineering on Friday morning.
A paddock source told Reuters that, while other teams were working on their cars, the Lotus freight was held at the nearby airport until Thursday before being allowed into the Yas Marina circuit.
Lotus were locked out of their paddock hospitality in Japan in October due to unpaid bills and had issues with access to their garages in the run-up to the Brazilian Grand Prix two weeks ago.
In Belgium, in August, their cars were impounded by bailiffs after the race at Spa. Continuación...

RUMFORD, Maine (AP) – NewPage paper says it's shutting down one of the Rumford paper mill machines in mid-February. A union official said more than 100 workers could be affected by the decision.
Mill spokesman Anthony Lyons said workers were notified Tuesday that the No. 12 paper machine will shut down "indefinitely."
The No. 12 machine manufactures coated paper used in catalogs and magazines. Lyons said the mill produces about 550,000 tons of coated paper each year.
Lyons said that the number of workers affected by the shutdown is unknown, but Ron Hemingway, president of the Local 900 United Steelworkers, said that 25 people work on the paper machine but the ripple effect means "around 120 people" could be affected.
All told, the mill employs 830 workers.
