As data processing grows more and more specialized, effective storage strategies are more important than ever. And for IT professionals reevaluating their storage needs, software-defined and object-based storage are gaining ground by automating storage management – a trend that is only set to continue.
High performance workloads, big data, and analytics are increasingly important in finding real value in today's applications and data. Before we deploy applications and mine data for mission and business insights, we need a high-performance, rapidly scalable, resilient infrastructure foundation that can accurately, securely, and quickly access data from all relevant sources. Red Hat has technology that allows high performance workloads with a scale-out foundation that integrates multiple data sources and can transition workloads across on-premise and cloud boundaries.
HPC may once have been the sole province for huge corporations and national labs, but with hardware and cloud resources becoming more affordable even small and mid-sized companies are taking advantage.

Vaz wins grand champ in swine with 'Daisy Mae'
"Daisy Mae" [auth] was a bit tuckered out by Tuesday afternoon but she was still full of personality as she chewed on her owner's plastic shoe.
The Hampshire swine had, after all, performed four times in the judge's circle as Brennan Vaz led her around before she was chosen as grand champion at this year's Chaves County 4-H and FFA Fair.
Vaz, 14, said he was ecstatic when the judge began walking his way.
"I saw him lift up that banner," Vaz said. "I had a feeling he was walking my way. I felt that butterfly happiness inside. It was something good."
Since first taking Daisy Mae home around April 1, Vaz said he's noticed her particular sense of humor.
"She loved chewing on my Crocs," Vaz said. "She's kinda funny."
He would have to dig his plastic shoes in her feed to lead her to eat, he said.
"She likes to be scratched behind her ears," he said.
This was Vaz's first year entering the swine competition. He will also enter a steer on Thursday. He will enter Roswell High School next year, where he plans to continue participating in FFA.
Abby Ashcraft, a student at Gateway Christian School, took home the prize for Reserve Grand Champion for her Cross swine.
"It was really great," she said. "(The judge) seemed like he was walking to somebody else, then he turned and walked to me."
Ashcraft's father and brother, reserve champion cross Colton Ashcraft, helped her raise "Si."
"My dad and my brother did a lot of the work, too," she said. "He loved to run. He would stick by all the other pigs. He was kind of stubborn at the same time."
Ashcraft will sell Si and put the money in her college fund, she said.
The participants in the swine competition needed to continuously own and care for the animals from June 1. Only water or non-oil based dressings were allowed.
The swines were to be washed off and free of mud and waste before they were weighed and classified. The minimum weight was 190 pounds and maximum was 270 pounds.
Travis Begley of Canyon, Texas, judged Tuesday's market swine competition that began at 8 a.m.
Daisy Mae and Si are now headed to the Junior Livestock Auction to be held at 2 p.m. Friday.

Facebook, Inc. Internship Programs
When it comes to social networking, it's wise to put your best face forward. Facebook, the social networking juggernaut, lets users share information, post photos and videos, play games, and otherwise connect with one another through online profiles. The site, which allows outside developers to build apps that integrate with Facebook, boasts more than a billion total users. The firm was launched in 2004 by
student Mark Zuckerberg as an online version of the Harvard Facebook. (The name comes from books of freshmen's faces, majors, and hometowns that are distributed to students.) In 2012 Facebook began publicly trading after filing one of the largest IPOs in US history.
Geographic Reach
Global in its reach, Facebook generated more than half of its revenue outside of the US in fiscal 2015. The majority of its international business comes from customers located in western Europe, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and China. Facebook sees Brazil and India in particular as key sources of growth. The company has offices and data center facilities located all over the world.
Sales and Marketing
Facebook, which has a global sales force, earns about 95% of its revenue from the sale of advertising (more than $17 billion in fiscal 2015). The company spent $281 million on its own advertising and promotional expenses during 2015.
Financial Performance
Facebook has experienced exponential growth over the past few years, enabling it to dominate the social networking world as the most trafficked site of its kind in the US. The company reported revenue of $17.9 billion for fiscal 2015. That was an increase of $5.4 billion (or 44%) compared to its revenue in fiscal 2014, which was about $12.5 billion.
Facebook's net income was $3.6 billion in fiscal 2015. That was an increase of $748 million (or 25%) compared to the company's net income the previous fiscal year.
Facebook has a surplus of cash on hand from operations. The company ended fiscal 2015 with $8.5 billion in cash, which was an increase of $3.1 billion (or 58%) compared to fiscal 2014 levels.
Facebook owes the bulk of its growth to its ability to lure more and more visitors to its site and keeping them engaged. The site then stores data about its users and sells that info to advertisers and marketers. The growth in Facebook's advertising business, driven by mobile ads customized for individuals, has been staggering.
The company's strategy includes making key acquisitions to add specialized employees and complementary companies, products, or technologies. Facebook also continues to invest in its own core products and services to better serve its existing users and customers.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Facebook has slowed down its pace of acquiring companies somewhat in recent years. However in fiscal 2014 Facebook acquired WhatsApp, a cross-platform mobile messaging company for $19 billion. Also during 2014 Facebook acquired LiveRail, an advertising technology company that helps companies like
Major League Baseball
, and
serve better ads in the videos that appear on their websites and apps.

at MAACs - Day One
- Video Recap
College Golf - Day One
Rider 8th of 9 at MAAC Championships
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.--The Rider University golf team is participating at the three-day Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championships in Florida Friday through Sunday.
After day one of the 54-hole tournament, Rider is in eighth place out of nine teams after shooting a 327. The Broncs had seven birdies, 39 pars, 32 bogeys, nine double bogeys and two triple bogeys on Friday.
"It was a tough start to our championship today," said head coach Bob Whartenby. "The whole day we looked tight and nervous. We showed some signs of coming back on the back nine but it was a little to late. Hopefully we can loosen up tomorrow and come back with a score I know we can shoot."
The 48 player tournament is being held at Disney's Palm Golf Course in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, a par-72, 7,011 yard venue.
For Rider, senior Evan McGrain (West Windsor/W. Windsor-Plainsboro South) is in 25th place after firing an opening round 79 (+7). McGrain had three of Rider's seven birdies on the day.
"Evan was our low man with a 79 and it could've been way better," said Whartenby. "He made a couple of mistakes on easy holes that cost him a 75 or 76."
McGrain entered play 30th in the MAAC and averaged 80.46 in 13 rounds this season. McGrain shot a low round of 73 twice this season, at the Lafayette Invitational and at the Peacock Invitational, finishing one shot out of a tie for the lead.
Sophomore Luke Liddell (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) shot a nine over par 81 and is in 29th place after the opening round.
Liddell was 31st in the conference entering the championship and averaged 81.07 in 15 rounds this season. Liddell's low round of the season came at the La Salle Invitational where he tied for seventh place after scoring a 75.
As a rookie, Liddell was 42nd after a three-round total of 258 at the 2012 MAAC championships. Liddell shot 85 on the final day after opening with rounds of 80 and 93.
Junior James Buttermark (Staten Island, N.Y/Monsignor Farrell) shot an 83 (+11) and is in 36th place.
Last season, Buttermark was 22nd at the MAAC championships (231) after earning All-MAAC honors with a seventh place finish (230) as a Rider rookie.
Bronc senior Beau Guarino (Burlington Township) was 12 over par with an 84 on Friday and is in 40th place. Guarino has averaged 79.80 in 15 rounds this season with a low round of 74 at the Binghamton Invitational. Guarino's best finish of the season was 21st out of 54 competitors at the Cornell Invitational.
Sophomore Cole Clark (Califon/Voorhees) finished with an opening round of 85 (+13) on Friday after three birdies, five pars, five bogeys, four double bogeys and a triple bogey and is in 41st place. As a Rider rookie, Clark tied for 30th place after rounds of 80-78-81 (239) at the 2012 MAAC championships.
Dylan Newman (Iona) leads the field after a four under par 68. Newman leads by one shot over Steve Burak (Fairfield) who shot a 69 with Andrew Graham (Iona) and Brian McCormick (Loyola) two shots back after rounds of 70.
Iona College (287) leads the field, followed by Fairfield University (293) and five-time defending champion Loyola University Maryland (297). Canisius College is fourth (306), Manhattan College (310), Saint Peter's University (312), Siena College (322), Rider University (327) and Niagara University (329).
Last season, Rider finished eighth of nine teams with a team score of 953 after rounds of 314-316-323.
In 2011, Rider was eighth of nine teams with a three-round total of 977 (328-326-323).
In 2010, Rider was third (302-312-300) with a score of 914 and in 2009, the Broncs were sixth (941) after rounds of 304, 319 and 318.
In 2008, Rider was the runner-up with scores of 303-295-295, for a total of 893 and the Broncs were fifth in 2007 (921) with rounds of 306, 301 and 326.
Highlights of the opening round, produced by ESPN, are expected to be available on MAAC.TV Friday evening.
The second round (18 holes) is Saturday with the final 18 holes Sunday.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was administered 2 Breathalyzers, both failed. So I was stuck with that ticket. I admitted to drinking but I do not think he recorded that anywhere.
Your admission is what the officer is depending on to accuse you of possessing (drinking) alcohol while being under the age of 21. If you can afford counsel, you should consider hiring an attorney to possibly resolve this matter in a way that does not affect you negatively in the future. Best of luck to you!Ask a similar question
To convict you of a crime, the State has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you possessed alcohol. Without the breath test, all they would have to go on is your admission. However, a good lawyer should be able to cast some doubt on that. If you are underage, how does the officer know that you even knew whether what you had was alcoholic or not? Can you name all the brands of non-alcoholic beer on the market? If someone handed you one and you drank from it, would you know the was no alcohol in it?
You should also check out my legal guide on Diversion Programs and expungement, as it may be relevant to your case.
Either way, you should hire a lawyer to help you through this.Ask a similar question
Thank you so much! That makes a lot of sense of me. I'll definitely check that out! Best, -Minor
I would suggest contacting an attorney like either of the two who answered previously or if you want to try and find one in your area here on AVVO you can select "Find a Lawyer" at the top of the page. Good luck.Ask a similar question
First - you should retain an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney to represent you!
Second - Your "admission" to drinking will be the main evidence used against you in court. I advise clients to not take any field sobriety test "breathalyzer" or admit to drinking in this type of situation. If the officer didn't find any alcohol containers in your possession and you weren't overly specific in your admission to drinking you may have a viable defense. An experienced criminal defense attorney in your area may be able to address these issues and obtain a favorable result.
Finally - a conviction will remain on your criminal history in Georgia for the REST OF YOUR LIFE! Please take these charges seriously and make every effort to defend yourself!
Good Luck!!! George McCranie www.mccranielawfirm.com

But why front end memory? After all I can generate the plots from the

My understanding is that Utilties`MemoryConserve` helps with MathKernel

Yes, that is what I have been doing. It is a pain.

How do you make a loop front end memory efficient besides by using

The Mathematica Front End crashes when it is using about 1.6 GB or RAM. And I
have 4.5 Gb of RAM. So buying more RAM or closing application will not
help much.

Corporate Knockout: 10 Beauty Essentials to Stash at the Office
Posted Monday December 3, 2012 10:13 AM GMT
As fashion and beauty editors, we know there comes a time in every gal's 9-to-5 grind when a little TLC is in order.
Some of us come in dire need of cosmetic touch ups while others require a quick fix for dry hands and/or limp hair.
So, to keep you looking professionally perfect, we've drummed up a list of our top 10 essential beauty-related items to stash at the office.
Hand Lotion: There is something about the air in an office that can seriously dry out skin. So, to keep cracked hands at bay, we keep a soothing lotion within arm's reach. One we love is L'Occitane's Shea Butter Hand Cream.
Refreshing Toner Spray: Keep your face moisturized from 9-to-5 by spritzing on a toner spray. This type of product rehydrates thirsty skin with just a few uses, and revives the look of makeup too! For all of our replenishing needs; we turn to Evian's Mineral Water Spray.
Blotting Papers: No matter how hard we try, we just can't stop that mid-day shine. So, to be sure we keep a matted look all day long, we use blotting papers. These things are AMAZING. They absorb excess oil off of the face, without ruining makeup. A great product for easy touch-ups is Boscia's Blotting Linens.
A Lint Roller: If we had a nickel for every time we've gotten to the office, only to discover that our pants had acquired loads of lint, we'd be able to retire early. It happens all...the…time. So, we keep multiple rollers around to keep our threads looking so fresh, and so clean.
Mini Manicure Set: You never know when a hangnail is going to strike. So, to be sure your pointers stay pretty all day long; keep a mini mani set nearby to tackle those problem areas. We love Nordstrom's 'Black' Mini Manicure Set—the case is adorable too!
Bobby Pins & Hair Ties: These are nice to keep handy, just in case you need to throw your hair up after lunch or even if you plan to hit up the gym after work! They're also nice to keep around just in case any of your gal pals have any hair emergencies too.
Tinted Balm: While pushing through the daily office grind, your lips need two things—moisture and color. Burt's Bees makes a fabulous lip shimmer that will lend your kisser the hydration it needs, as well as a lovely punch of color that will perk up your pout during that 3-o'clock drag.
Rollerball Perfume: Scents can be known to fade throughout the day—especially if your job entails lots of moving around. So, we suggest keeping a rollerball perfume desk side to use whenever you need a little fragrance pick-me-up.
Deodorant: Because sometimes you just need to reapply ... end of story.

Henry VIII's armor shows he dressed to impress
By Josie Cox
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The armor made for England's King Henry VIII to inspire fear, awe and make room for his expanding girth has been gathered for a show at the Tower of London marking the 500th anniversary of his coronation.
The "Dressed to Kill" exhibition displays the largest collection of Henry's surviving armors just a stone's throw away from where he had his second wife Anne Boleyn beheaded.
"Henry is one of the most famous Kings in British history," curator Bridget Clifford told Reuters. "His image has been burned into so many people's psyches. That's why this exhibition is exceptional."
As well as a ruthless ruler famed for executing two of his six wives, the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty was also an avid sportsman, warrior and a political operator who knew the importance of dressing to impress.
The exhibition was stuffed with knives, swords, guns, shields, lances, riding gear and hunting equipment, in display cabinets affixed to the Tower's ancient stone walls and cradled by some of the free-standing suits of armor.
"Henry liked experimenting with firearms and was rather innovative," said Clifford, adding that the weapons and technology he used during his reign from 1509 until his death in 1547 were considered "cutting edge at the time."
Designed by some of the finest craftsmen in Europe, Henry's personal armor was made to protect him in war -- he led three campaigns against France -- and for sports such as jousting and foot combat.
One "tonlet" or suit of foot combat armor on display, was worn by Henry at one of the greatest tournaments of his reign, "The Field of the Cloth of Gold." Continued...

Fed says internal site breached by hackers, no critical functions affected
By Alister Bull and Jim Finkle
WASHINGTON/BOSTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve said on Tuesday that one of its internal websites had been briefly breached by hackers, though no critical functions of the U.S. central bank were affected by the intrusion.
The admission, which raises questions about cyber security at the Fed, follows a claim that hackers linked to the activist group Anonymous had struck the Fed on Sunday, accessing personal information of more than 4,000 U.S. bank executives, which it published on the Web.
"The Federal Reserve system is aware that information was obtained by exploiting a temporary vulnerability in a website vendor product," a Fed spokeswoman said.
"Exposure was fixed shortly after discovery and is no longer an issue. This incident did not affect critical operations of the Federal Reserve system," the spokeswoman said, adding that all individuals effected by the breach had been contacted.
Technology news site ZDNet separately reported that Anonymous appeared to have published information allegedly containing the login information, credentials, internet protocol addresses and contact information of more than 4,000 U.S. bankers on Sunday night.
The claim was made via Twitter over an account registered to OpLastResort, which is linked to Anonymous, a loosely organized group of hacker activists who have claimed responsibility for scores of attacks on government and corporate sites over the past several years.
OpLastResort is a campaign that some hackers linked to Anonymous have started to protest government prosecution of computer prodigy Aaron Swartz, who committed suicide on January 11.
The Fed declined to identify which website had been hacked. But information that it provided to bankers indicated that the site, which was not public, was a contact database for banks to use during a natural disaster. Continued...

Are all GS bonded? I'm looking for .40's. I've read that the non-bonded bullets had separation problems and supposedly the bonded bullet fixes this. Any input?
All GS are not bonded. They are two different cartridges. Police prefer bonded because the perform better against barriers i.e. auto glass.
Regular GS
Thanks for the info.
If anyone carries the GS, which would you prefer? I would imagine the regular non bonded would suffice for CCW.
I use the GS Bonded .45ACP 230 grain for both CCW and HD.
Mostly because the price difference isn't all that great, and because I can't 100% rule out the potential need to shoot through something. I figure the difference is worth about $9 bucks a year.
I reload the non-bonded bulk bullets for practice, and when loaded to the same velocity in my guns the POI and functioning are the same.
The Bonded(s) are a little harder to find though.
homo homini lupus est
Never say never. A person probably won't be attacking barriers, but they may have to defend through barriers.
My GS are not bonded, but only because that is what was available at the time I got the pistol.
I carry the Golden Sabers and I believe mine are the non-bonded type. I may have to look into switching to the bonded ones though after thinking about this.

There are differences between the bonded and non bonded GS, but... I don't see all that much of a disadvantage to a bullet that breaks off a few fragments or sheds a jacket. It just makes secondary wounds from fragmentation, and in the GS, the heavy lead core still gives plenty of penetration. In my unscientific wet newspaper testing, very occasionally a .45 230gr will shed a jacket. They perform great through barriers and clothing, too. I switch between 230gr GS and Hydra Shok in my 1911, carry the +p in my 9mm revolver and carbines, all the spares for my MK40 Kahr, and have it in all my speedloaders and speed strips for my +p .38s. Friend who carries a snub .357 swears by GS medium velocity, too.
I carry GS and would spend extra for the bonded if I could find them.

The bonded ones have a large yellow graphic on the box stating "Bonded", as shown on this page:
I've not seen that on any Golden Sabers I've ordered from Sportsmans Guide, unless they've changed stock lately.
Could someone tell me the difference in bonded & non-bonded?
surjimmy the bonded means the jacket is bonded (fused) to the core preventing sepration, and retains more bullet weight.

They Finally Broke in
Well on my previous post the burglars tried to come through the back door and didn't succeed. This time they came through the wall and managed to avoid the alarm system and steal 5 laptops. They knocked out my neighbors windows and came inside their store to get to the adjoining wall of my store. Then they kicked through the wall which has 3 layers of drywall, and when they broke through they had to kick through my display also. I had the alarm company come in and put more sensors in and now the alarm will go off if there is a pin drop on the office. So now I have to replace the back door and repair a whole in the wall and put in some steel in the wall to prevent further attempts. I have gates, alarm systems, bollards out front and out back, steal doors, cameras (we did catch him on camera, although he is wearing a hood ie and we can't see his face) and they still managed to get in the store.

By BYRON MATHIOUDAKIS18/07/2011
PEUGEOT really needed to pull something out of the hat with the new 508.
The preceding 407 felt old way before its time, hampered by leaden dynamics, poor interior packaging, sub-budget-brand quality and a comical proboscis that looked too long even for Pinocchio.
It was acutely disappointing because the 407 looked good on paper back in 2004. The double-wishbone front suspension, common-rail diesel technology and Peugeot's bold new design direction had us hoping for a modern-day classic.
But it was soon outclassed by the VW Passat in 2005, the 2007 Ford Mondeo looked and drove better, and almost every other rival felt roomier – especially the cheaper Skoda Superb.
The 508 – with its sober styling, return to MacPherson strut front suspension (GT model excepted) and smaller-capacity powerplants – seemed almost like an over-reaction to the 407's weaknesses, but has something of the earlier 406's character – if not sheer beauty – with handsome and uncluttered lines, much better proportions and eye-catching details.
We haven't experienced a more appealing contemporary French cabin, either. Swathed in a quality ambience, there is nothing flashy or futuristic about the dashboard, but we failed to fault the harmonious layout, super-clear instruments, supportive seats, spacious surrounds or quality.
We prefer the 508's more masterful cabin presentation to the Passat 125TDI Highline, and that's a complete turnaround after the flaky 407.
We do not like the thick pillars (the scourge of modern car design) as far as vision is concerned and reckon Peugeot should have made the centre console's red lighting white a la Audi A8 (after all, the instruments' dials and info window displays are), but on first acquaintance the 508 is a real winner here.
However, winning us over with interesting design and an inviting cabin that is big on quality as well as space is only half the story.
As the larger of the three turbo-diesel options are the only models available for the time-being, we sampled the Allure 2.0 HDi in both sedan and wagon guises, as well as the GT 2.2 HDi performance flagship.
The volume-selling 120kW/340Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel with six-speed automatic is a revelation – quiet, smooth and certainly powerful and torquey enough to make the Allure models feel more than sufficiently fast and powerful.
Furthermore, each boasted fast, natural and responsive steering, backed up by flat, involving and secure handling balanced by generous levels of grip. Far from feeling stodgy like the 407, the newcomer marks a welcome return of the Peugeot driver's car.
For all its refined yet punchy turn of speed, though, the Allure 2.0 HDi lacks the dynamic verve and spirit of better mid-sizers like the Mondeo. Peugeot once (405 and 406 era namely) built arguably the best-steering family cars on earth, but now they are merely very good. More feedback and finesse is what's wanted.
Worse, the suspension is not as pliant as the praiseworthy Ford's, or the Passat's, or that of a Mercedes C-class. On the optional 18-inch alloys, the ride felt firm (though ultimately quiet and well-damped). Germanic feel and ability comes at a price it seems.
We tried the standard 17-inch set-up on an Allure 2.0 HDi sedan and found slightly better compliance and comfort, coupled with a tad less alacrity and poise.
And now on to the 2.2L diesel-equipped GT – the luxury top-liner with its own (if 407-derived) wishbone front suspension system.
With just as much power (150kW) but more torque (450Nm) and a whole lot less consumption and emissions than the 2.7L twin-turbo V6 diesel of its 407 SV predecessor, the 508 GT is a strong, swift and stirring performer of a very high order.
Sensationally determined yet almost eerily hushed acceleration sees this particular Peugeot speeding along in cocooning splendour, while the front end has its own special talent in the way the steering turns into corners with better precision and feel than the regular 508.
Suddenly we found ourselves finally forgetting about how brilliant the old 406s were, such was the superior combination of eagerness, ability and composure that the GT displayed. Even the firm ride didn't matter that much.
We only had about 30 minutes on lovely but probably untypical Aussie roads to assess the GT, but would seriously debate buying the equivalently priced base A4, 3 Series or Lexus IS 250 over this version.
Clearly, then, the 508 is compelling evidence that Peugeot is back in the game.
While the regular Allure certainly lives up to its name as a quality accommodating medium/large family-car proposition of flair and finesse, it is the GT that has left us longing for more.
And that's a massive move in the right direction for the company after the all-too long-in-the-tooth (and on the nose) 407.
Even after an all-too-brief driving session with the vital French newcomer, we are ready to don our hat to Peugeot's engineers for pulling out something as improved and appealing as the 508 from the carcass of its underperforming predecessor.

We believe that a well-capitalized local bank run by local people will offer our customers and our shareholders the most benefit in the long run. This is truly a unique opportunity.

Touring Roof Speaker removal
does anyone here have any info on how to remove the roof speakers in the wagon?
my new bsws came today, and I want to install them, but there are no instructions for the wagon. Looks pretty simple, but Id like to make sure before I start this process. Thanks!
I'm quite sure that you'd need to drop the headliner somewhat to gain access. The 'covers' you can see are indeed just that, covers and to get to the speaker itself you need more space/access. That said, I think it's a complete waste of time replacing the speakers in that location - they fire straight down to the boot/load space floor. With the upgraded sound quality of the BSW's (didn't know they did E39 touring roof speakers) perhaps that will help them sound better in that location. For me, I created custom pods to fit on the D pillar cover to project the sound forwards into the cabin. Pictures;
They're 4 inch co-axial DLS speakers and I only run them for a 'little' rear fill as I do prefer 'some' music detail from the rear. I'd say perhaps 10-15% of the level of my front is what I run the rear's at.
Excuse the slightly lose oem cover, my replacement oem Sport black headliner is in the garage!
Cheers, Dennis!
My rears don't work, thus the replacements. I hope I don't have to drop the headliner. I just cant seem to find instructions anywhere, not even on BSWs site. well, no need to
remove the headliner, they popped off with some effort. easy swap.
I know you edited your post to tell us they just popped off. But if memory serves me correct...I think I removed the covers once and it was sort of easy...by uncurling a paper clip to use as a "hook". I inserted it thru one of the holes in the speaker cover and pulled...I did this several times around the circumference of the cover...and this gave access to the screws that hold the speakers to the roof.
If this wasn't on the e39 Touring...perhaps it was on my old e34 Touring? Anyway...that is the memory that seems to be sitting on the edge of my memory. :)
EDIT: instructions (click link) & pics from BMW TIS (http://tis.spaghetticoder.org/s/view.pl?1/05/73/87)
hell, I wish you had replied sooner, might have saved me from breaking a couple of the clips. they both snapped back in, so its all good.

the most accurate surplus I ever shot in my scoped yugo mauser
Came across a guy who has a fair quantity of some Equador 8mm surplus ammo. On stripper clips. Is this stuff any good? Should I scoop up as much as I can? What would be a fair price, he seems negotiable?
the most accurate surplus I ever shot in my scoped yugo mauser
Going rate for Yugo now is about $0.25 per round, maybe around $0.30 on clips... If you can find it. I would get as much as you can afford and try to get it for around $0.20 per round, which is price of Mosin ammo.
i saw about 20 box's at the lgs today price was either $6 or $7 abox.
boxes look just like those in the post by bws1944, I will see what I can work out, thanks
mine was poor quality, maybe with a 50/50 fail to fire. perhaps it was how he stored it?
OH! that sheds a little different light on this ammo. Maybe I will start with a smaller quantity, do some testing, and if all goes well, see if I can get the rest.
Why did ecuador make 8mm? weren't all those S. Americans using 7x57?
Mine is 80% fail to fire on the first strike... In the last 10 years, it seems to have gone from 40% fail to fire on first strike to the present state. I am pulling it for components.
If my information is correct the ammo was made by FN. My headstamp reads 1955. I have not fired any so I cannot really tell if this lot is surefire. I bought this years ago befor the price jump.
yep--made by FN. I have not seen this stuff on the market for +/- 10 years?
It can be good-196 gr, accurate. BUT some batches were 50/50 on the fire vs dud count.
Make sure you have a good pin spring, and get a small batch to test--if it's good, buy it all! .20-.30 per round would work.
Thanks for the photoreference. Well It appears to have been made by FM not FN. Someone's brain did an optical completion incorrectly. not everything on the internet is correct. I got the original ref. from Gun and Game.
Last edited by Coyote tracker; 08-31-2012 at 09:44 PM. Reason: source update
I'll be sure to test a couple of boxes with a rifle having a strong firing pin spring before going hog-wild on this stuff. If frequent FTF, maybe only worth what, $0.10 per round for components? I'm not big into re-loading, all I have is a Lee Loader set up for 8mm, and a small lot of used boxer primed brass.
well--all these years I've been blaming FN, when I could have blamed FM!
oh well. Elokoman, be sure the check the ammo. I bought a case which was 50% dud ammo--not even with a second hit. The Dealer made good, and sent me a case of 100% surefire stuff (no charge)--I then bought several more! If it works, it's very nice ammo.
I don't have enough patience to the the components thing...I traded the "bad" batch to a friend who seems to have plenty of both time and patience.
...been buying any 7.62x54r lately?
Our clubs experience with this ammo.
After testing some a number years ago.
It was relegated to the crap ammo pile.
It had some good batches, but most it was crap, not even good for plinking, due to several issues.
As suggested by some posters, test your batch and see if it is good enough for you, before investing a lot of money.
Even the good stuff that went bang was only good enough for plinking.
No consistancy for any serious shooting.
I had a crate and ended up pulling the clips and giving the ammo to my local gs to do whatever they wanted with it. It would take mostly 2-3 strikes to fire. Very very corrosive.
Thanks to all for the helpful feedback.

1. KHEPER = "The Dawn" - This is represented by the scarab beetle. It represents innocence and the first step to enlightenment. It also represents the morning in the daily cycle.
2. RA = "The Stubborn" - This is represented by ram and represents adolescence . This is representative of noon in the daily cycle.
3. OON = "The Wise" - This is represented by a mature man and represents a mature and wise consciousness. It is representative of the afternoon on the daily cycle.
4. ATEN = "The Wiser" - This represents enlightenment. It represents the twilight on the daily cycle.
5. AMUN = "The Hidden" - This is a period of darkness and is dominated by greed and fear. It is of course representative of the night time. According to the lecturer (Stephen Mehler), this is the period of time we are in now.
Another thing he said though is the people of Kemet (the ancient Egyptian name for Egypt, "Egypt" is the Greek name) viewed time as a cycle...and not with a beginning or ending. Those five cycles are just cycles that repeat themselves over and over. He didn't say much about when these time periods occured during the past (I don't think he really knew for sure) because the people of ancient Kemet (he described himself as a "Kemetologist" and not an "Egyptologist" by the way) weren't concerned with specific dates. He did say the current period, Amun, had been going on for about 5000 years though. He said soon we would be starting back over on the Kheper period, which I suppose means that things that have long been hidden from us would soon be revealed (again). He didn't state any specific date for this though (or if he did, he said it later in the lecture, I didn't watch the whole thing again).
The lecture actually wasn't quite as interesting as I thought I remembered it to be. For some reason I thought I remembered him attaching more specific time periods to the different Sun stages which is what I was going to tie in to the last post. But nevertheless, that was what he had to say about it.

Police say a man shot and killed by a Honolulu police officer last night in Waikiki had a container of liquor in his car and would have faced arrest for first-degree attempted murder, along with failure to obey police officers, fleeing the scene of an accident and the liquor violation. The officer shot the 52-year-old suspect as he drove his car toward the officer. The car crashed and the suspect died at the hospital.

White House race goes down to the wire
By Steve Holland and John Whitesides
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A neck-and-neck White House race reached a frantic conclusion on Tuesday as voters chose between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney in a decision that will set the course for two starkly different visions for the country.
After a long and bitter presidential campaign, Americans cast their votes at polling stations across the country. At least 120 million people were expected to render judgment on whether to give Obama a second term or replace him with Romney.
The first clues to who will win could come once results are in from the swing states of Virginia and Florida and, even more importantly, Ohio. Polls in all three will have closed by 8 p.m. EST (0100 GMT) and if the results are clear, U.S. television networks could begin projecting winners in those states soon after that.
Polls closed in Indiana and Kentucky - both firmly in the Republican camp - at 6 p.m. EST (2300 GMT) and voting will end across the country over the following six hours.
Who Americans choose will set the country's course for the next four years on spending, taxes, healthcare and foreign policy challenges like the rise of China and Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Each man offered different policies to cure what ails America's weak economy, with Obama pledging to raise taxes on the wealthy and Romney offering across-the-board tax cuts as a way to reignite strong economic growth.
National opinion polls show Obama and Romney in a virtual dead heat, although the Democratic incumbent has a slight advantage in several vital swing states - most notably Ohio - that could give him the 270 electoral votes needed to win the state-by-state contest.
According to Reuters-Ipsos Election Day polling, one in three Obama voters said the economy was the most important issue for them, while half of Romney voters agreed. Healthcare was the second most important issue for Obama voters and the budget deficit was second for Romney voters. Unemployment was third for both. Continued...

A Modest Budget Cruiser
There are many boats in the 30-34 range that would meet your needs. Catalina 30 (and 34), Ericson 30, S2 9.2, Newport 30, 33, etc., there are a lot of boats out there. With a budget of 30K you are not going to find many 34'' boats. If it''s just two of you I would look to 30'' and get a newer / better boat for the same price.
A Modest Budget Cruiser
I believe that the 34 comes with a fin keel (not centerboard like some of the other models)with both a deep draft 5''7" (or 8") and a shoal draft 4''6" so performance is helped slightly, especially the deeper draft. They displace about 11,500lbs with close to 4700lbs. of ballast. Most O''Days came with a universal Diesel. of the 2 O''Days that I have owned (O''22 and O''28) the 22 had some deck delamination
(but I expected that in a 31 year old 22 ft.boat) My 82 O''28 is dry as ever. They are not built like Abrams Tanks that would be suitable for ocean crossing (although I know of 1 O''Day 27 that crossed the Atlantic...twice)BUT they are SOLID Coastal Cruisers that can handle a blow. They perform best on a broad reach but can handel going to windward in heavy seas.
O''Days were not built to be the fastest boats but to get you from place to place safely. There are better quality built boats BUT are alot of lesser quality built boats as well (IMHO)
The 34 has LOTS of room below. Heck, my 28 below feels like most 30 footers I''ve been on.
Electrical work is iffy on O''Day''s. Wireing was not at the top of the list when these boats were manufactured and probably could use an upgrading.
Although O''Day went out of business in 1989, they have a large and loyal owners group and parts are easily obtained.
Best of luck in your boat search!!!
A Modest Budget Cruiser
Early 1980''s Odays (like Pearsons of this same era)are hard to classify. In many ways these were nice middle of the road boats. They do not offer especially good performance, build quality, or seaworthiness but they were inexpensive, and were better than many others in their price range built during that era. They were built in the day of the extensive option list and so hardware can vary widely in quantity and quality on these boats. They offered simple workable interior layouts with moderately good workmanship but without some of the niceties and closer fit found on better boats of that era. They were a little behind the curve when it came to engineering (which was taking a big step forward in terms of intenal framing systems during that era, a big step that Oday never took.) I have some exposure to a 30 of that era and to 28''s of that era. Deck core problems seem to be a little more common on Oday''s of that era than on some of thier peers, and this is also an era when blistering was very common.
I guess my only other concern with the Oday 34 for your application is that these were not all that robustly built boats and if I understand your prevailing sailing conditions you are sailing in some pretty heavy going much of the time. I would think that could take a real toll on a boat like the Oday.
A Modest Budget Cruiser
I have researched several boats for coastal cruising and most recently the, O''day 34(1982-1984). The boat would be used primarily for coastal cruises around,Cape Breton,Nova Scotia.
I am looking for opinions on this boat, as well as other boats(30-34 ft range)that would make suitable cruisers for my wife and I (weekends & vacations). There''s a number of boats I would like to have but they are triple my modest budget of 30K (US).

Fully Automatic Feed Circular Cold Saw Miters Ferrous, Non-Ferrous Metals
The VMS 370A from Behringer Saws is integrated with an automatic feeding unit to provide full automatic feeding functionality which saves on cycle time and assures efficient use of material.
Behringer Saws, Inc. (Morgantown PA), a world-class provider of bandsawing machines, circular cold saw and structural fabricating equipment, offers the VMS 370A circular cold saw for precision straight and miter cutting of ferrous and non ferrous metals.
The previously offered semi-automatic model required users to add a separate automatic feed unit. The VMS 370A, however, is integrated with an automatic feeding unit to provide full automatic feeding functionality which saves on cycle time and assures efficient use of material. Programming the length of cut and number of pieces is enabled by the control unit keypad and LCD display.
This circular cold saw has a 14.5 in diameter blade and will cut at a rotational speed of up to 64 rpm. The VMS 370A cuts various shapes of material: round (.39 in – 5.1 in); square (.31 in – 4.7 in); and rectangular (.31 in x .31 in – 7.8 in x 3.9 in). To position the blade for mitering, the upper portion of the machine may be manually rotated. A smooth action bearing facilitates this process enhancing accurate angle adjustments. The material being cut remains stationary. Mitering range to the left is 45 deg and 60 deg to the right. Total miter range is 105 deg with positive stops at 45 deg in both directions.
"With a feed length of 31.5 inches per single stroke," says Richard Klipp, the president of Behringer, "the automatic feed process is very efficient and will reduce wasted material. The material being cut is positioned by a ball screw driven gripper which promotes speed and accuracy." Klipp explains that the gripper is mounted on a robust linear guide that is pre-tensioned to eliminate play and help assure a smooth, accurate feed.
The VMS 370A saw head traverses vertically on two square guides mounted to a cast iron frame. This design gives rigidity to the saw head permitting sustained feed rate control. Consistently high downfeed pressure is facilitated through enhanced blade control and this helps maintain production rates at desired levels. A vertically raised protective hood assures safe operation and provides quick change access for changing the saw blade.
A heavy-duty gearbox and two-speed pole changing 2.6/3.4 hp motor drives a hardened and grond worm gear and a helical gear for blade downfeed control. Smooth cutting for nearly all grades of metal is enhanced with a shock absorbing feature that lets operators keep steady, uniform pressure on the blade. Integrated into the machine base is a re-circulating flood coolant system. An optional micro-spraying system may be activated from the control panel. Removal of chips is fast and easy with a chip drawer.
Behringer also offers an extensive range of material handling systems. Engineers can work with customers to create complete metalworking systems which include input and output conveyors, cross transfers and lift/carry systems.

This Is What We Do for a Living
Boys' School, Smock Alley ****
In a series of playful vignettes they negotiate the peaks and troughs of their profession, bring to life the interlopers that threaten their dynamic, and dwell on plans for a mini-acrobat to carry on their legacy, a metaphor – yes! – for their future.
With such an extensive performance history the duo share a shorthand that brings fluidity and surprise to their acrobatic feats: a quick smile and a sudden fall and catch is initiated. They even manage to turn failure into a virtue, improvising missteps into comic routines. The acrobatic repertoire may be limited – juggling, hoops, rope and swing – but there is much more to relish in this charming blend of comedy and circus.

I don't know if all Dodge axle flange to rear end housing offsets are the same.
I would check the offset of the axle to the end of the rear end housing, and compare between the truck and the car..
If the drums from the truck are wider, then the drum may hit the backing plate before it seats on the axle flange if the offsets are different..
That is where I would start.
Later, mikey
thanks for the help i will try to find this before i put them on any info is much appreciate thanks alot ray

TAMPA, Fla. - Pitt wrote a new chapter into its history books and assured there will an epilogue to this season by defeating South Florida, 27-3, Saturday night at Raymond James Stadium. The victory made Pitt bowl eligible for the fifth consecutive season.
The outcome was largely the result of a defense that recovered a fumble and intercepted third-string quarterback Matt Floyd three times. Pitt (6-6, 3-4 Big East) nearly recorded its first shutout since 2005, but Maikon Bonani kicked a 25-yard field goal with 9:41 left in the fourth quarter.
The offense, which was inconsistent and mistake-prone with 13 penalties, rose to life long enough to push quarterback Tino Sunseri over 3,000 yards and running back Ray Graham past 1,000. That marked the first time in Pitt history two players reached those milestones in the same season.
Sunseri finished with 3,103 yards and became the first Pitt quarterback since Tyler Palko in 2004 to reach that level. Graham has 1,042 yards.
Receiver Mike Shanahan had a career-high nine receptions for 116 yards. Graham carried 26 times for 94 yards and two touchdowns, and Sunseri completed 19 of 25 for 211 yards and a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end J.P. Holtz. Sunseri also stretched his streak without an interception to 270 attempts.
Coach Paul Chryst was pleased with the victory, but he said the team still can improve.
"We kind of hurt ourselves, but guys are working," Chryst said. "Certainly went through a lot of things this season but still found a way to earn a right to play another game.
"We weren't making plays on offense, and (we had) a lack of execution but kind of kept sticking with it. It still was a good night."
Chryst especially was happy to see defensive tackle Aaron Donald dominate with five tackles, four for a loss.
"He has earned the right to play one more game, so he better be good at it," Chryst said. "We are going to need him."
Pitt is expected to accept an invitation Sunday to either the Beef 'O'Brady's, Pinstripe, Compass or Liberty bowls. This is the second consecutive year the Panthers needed to win their final regular-season game to secure one of 70 bowl spots. Last year Pitt defeated Syracuse, 33-20, at Heinz Field to finish the regular season at 6-6.
Pitt, which finished fifth in the Big East, could return for the third consecutive season to the Compass Bowl, which has the right to pick fifth from eligible teams.
"It will feel good to run out of that tunnel one more time before I take my talents to the next level," Graham said.
"Any bowl, except Birmingham (Compass Bowl)," he added with a laugh. "Three times in a row. I think they may not even allow us in there. Wherever we go, we are going to make the best of that bowl game and have fun. Another win will help solidify the season."
Negotiations among conference, school, TV network and bowl officials could change the order of selection and result in Pitt going to the Beef 'O' Brady's or Pinstripe bowls. Pitt is considered a long shot for the Liberty.
Pinstripe Bowl executive director Mark Holtzman said last week that reviving the Backyard Brawl between Pitt and West Virginia would be a "compelling" matchup for his game Dec. 29 in Yankee Stadium. West Virginia is also in line to go to the Holiday Bowl.
The defense gave Pitt an early edge Saturday before a crowd of 35,141, intercepting two passes and recovering a fumble before halftime.
Graham recorded his first of two 1-yard scoring bursts, and Kevin Harper kicked two field goals from 25 and 27 yards. But Pitt's three scoring drives averaged only 22.6 yards.
Pitt's defense showed up on South Florida's first possession. Junior safety Jason Hendricks intercepted a Matt Floyd pass at the USF 31 and returned it 10 yards, setting up Graham's first touchdown. South Florida kept the drive alive when cornerback Kayvon Webster was called for a hands-to-the-face penalty on third down that would have forced a field goal attempt.
In the second quarter, senior defensive end Shayne Hale stripped Floyd of the ball and recovered at the South Florida 24.
That led to another short scoring march for Pitt. Harper kicked a 25-yard field goal to increase the lead to 10-0. Pitt might have scored a touchdown, but receiver Ronald Jones dropped a third-down pass. Jones was in the lineup because Chryst suspended senior Cam Saddler for disciplinary reasons.
Harper added a second field goal late in the second quarter. It was sixth in seventh tries since a critical miss in the second overtime against Notre Dame on Nov. 3.

Hey guys,
I have a 1993 RR LWB with 170,000 miles ,and the engine compartment is a little shaggy.
Much of the wiring under the hood is frayed/corroded/worn/dirty.
I know this may be completely unanswerable, but does anyone have a "guesstimate" as to how much it would be to replace all/most of the wiring under the hood?
Again.....its a shot in the dark, but let me know what you think.

"Father Cleans Best"
My father has some serious cleaning issues.
As far back as I can remember, my father would wake up every Saturday morning around 7 am and spend 4 or 5 hours cleaning the entire house from top to bottom. He´ll be the first to admit that he´s
extremely anal retentive. He´s comfortable with it. He´s good with the mop. He´s
a pro with the vacuum cleaner. And he´s a mad genius (and quite entertaining)
with the dust rag. The dusting ritual was always accompanied by my father
dropping the needle on one of his old Motown records: Diana Ross & the
Supremes, Martha & the Vandellas, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Gladys
Knight & the Pips... He never listened to music during the week, but come
Saturday morning he´d listen to 5 or 6 albums in a row. It was like he was
storing up for the rest of the week.
As you can imagine, my father´s house cleaning obsession destroyed any chance I had of sleeping in on Saturday mornings during my childhood. He would kick open my bedroom door around 8:30
and enter with the vacuum cleaner blasting. He´d pull the sheets off the bed
(all the sheets got washed on Saturday) with me still wrapped in them. He´d
start scooping up all the clothes strewn across the floor and deposit them in
the clothes hamper. As a teenager this was the only real motivation for me to
climb out of bed – to retrieve all my clothes which, to my mind, were perfectly
good to go for at least another week.
As I would attempt to eat breakfast my father would come sliding into the kitchen across the freshly polished hardwood floor (with a dust rag in one hand & a can of Lemon Scented Pledge in the other) screaming,
"Baby Love! My Baby Love!!!" My mother
would shout, "Get the hell out of here! I knew I should´ve married Harold!" (Harold
was a guy my mother went on a blind date with once in high school, but that´s
another story altogether…) Please take notice of the fact that my mother was in
the kitchen. You see, my father truly enjoys cleaning, but the kitchen &
the bathroom… never. While my father may be a fairly liberated guy who doesn´t
see any problem with splitting the housework 50/50, the kitchen & the bathroom still exist in
that part of his mind labelled "women´s work".
With all the house cleaning finished by Saturday afternoon my father could then spend his Sunday mornings playing golf. But the second he returned home after playing 18 holes he´d fill a bucket with
hot, soapy water & wash his golf clubs. And after his clubs were sparkling,
he´d vacuum out the car.
I moved away from home over 10 years ago. A few months back while talking to my mother on Skype I asked, "Where´s dad?" She said he was outside cleaning
his golf clubs. "He´ll be here in a minute. You know how he gets when he´s
cleaning." She then proceeded to tell me that he hadn´t been playing his Motown
records lately because he needed a new needle. He didn´t need a new needle
because the old one was worn out, but because he got too close to the turntable
with the vacuum cleaner and the old needle got sucked into the machine! That´s
one of the hazards of being hopelessly anal retentive I suppose!

Snowstorm Snarls Commutes in Northeast; NJ Digs Outs as Tri-State Power Outages Persist
Drivers are facing a tough commute across parts of the Northeast that were smacked by a surprisingly strong October snowstorm and plunged millions into darkness over the weekend.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said the damage from this storm in the state — which remains under a state of emergency — was worse than the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Irene in late August. More than 300,00 remain without power.
"The grid of our electrical system is like a jigsaw puzzle, and when so many of the parts are taking out, it takes a while to put them back together," Christie told WNYC Monday morning.
The governor said he's meeting with utility companies to get an update and a time frame for when power will be restored.
New Jersey Transit was letting passengers transfer freely among train and bus lines because several miles of track were still disrupted. Hundreds of schools closed throughout the region, and Halloween trick-or-treating was to be curtailed in many communities because of downed power lines.
The storm dropped anywhere from a trace to 30 inches of wet, heavy snow from Maryland to Maine. More than 3 million people lacked electricity at one point as trees toppled under the weight and brought down power lines.
That number was down to about 2.1 million by early Monday. Service isn't expected to be restored in many spots until Wednesday.
Across New Jersey, thousands of volunteer first responders were working with groups like Meals on Wheels on Sunday to identify the home-bound elderly and special need households who may need assistance.
Hospitals and senior living facilities have resorted to generators. Phone service is also problematic and downed wires have made local travel perilous.
Even though Public Service Electric and Gas, Jersey Central Power and Light and Orange and Rockland have hundreds of crews working around the clock, power restoration will likely take days.
The weekend's heavy, wet snow came even as tree foliage was still full, creating unbearble weight loads for branches and tree trunks. Downed branches and fallen trees knocked out all train service on the Morris and Essex lines.
In Morristown, the Red Cross set up a shelter on the third floor of the municipal building and expects to house at least a dozen women and children from a nearby shelter that's without power.
Long time Morristown resident Anne Rubino, who is 83, lives alone and has trouble walking. She currently has no phone service or power. She said she struggled down a flight of stairs and out on to the street in front of her home looking for help from passers by.
Rubino, still visibly shaken by the ordeal, said some of the passers by ignored her even as she stood out in the cold and snow. "They thought I was drunk but I don't drink," said Rubino. Rubino said finally a woman walking her dog came to her rescue, notified police and saw to it Rubino got to the shelter.
Rubino was most concerned about the well being of her calico cat, Calley. A pair of Red Cross volunteers went back to Rubino's home to see to it Calley was fed. "Everyone has been wonderful," said Rubino. "You just never anticipate something like this."
Also seeking shelter, or to be more precise, juice for all their "I gizmos" were retirees Rosary and Bill Lescohier. "We have no power but we do have gas and a gas fireplace," said Rosary Lescohier. The Lescohiers said they found out about the shelter on Facebook.
Several hospitals remained on generator power Sunday, including St. Barnabas, Livingston Mountainside Hospital in Monclair, and Bergen Regional Medical Center in Paramus.
Meanwhile, in New York, nearly 300,000 are in the dark, including nearly 58,000 in the city and in Westchester. More than 200,000 customers are out in New Jersey.
