While porting some xpath-heavy AS2 code to AS3, I ran into problems. E4X (new and improved xml support in AS3) seems to make xpath obsolete. However, all the E4X query examples in the docs use hard-coded literals. I can't use literals because I don't know at code-time what the queries are going to be. My AS2 code creates xpath paths dynamically from variables. What is the E4X equivalent?
I thought I was done with the Flash-embedded-font in my previous blog entry, but there is more. I received an email requesting help with CSS and embedded fonts, and when I looked into it, found some quirks related to the CSS specified font-family and bold/italic text.
The 'why' and 'how' of embedding fonts is a Flash 101 topic. The main 'why' is that the user can't see fonts that she doesn't have. If your swf uses these fonts, you need to bundle them in the swf (or with the swf). The 'how' also seems very simple: in the properties panel for a given text field, click the 'Embed' button and select the character range you want to embed. Click OK. Done. Move on.
But it's really not that simple.
Unlike most other computer languages, when ActionScript code fails, it fails silently. If my code sends an undefined argument to a function, there is no crash, no alert message, nothing scary.
Overall, this is a good thing. If my live swf hits a bug, it might work just fine, no one is the wiser and life goes goes on blissfully unaware.
This problem drove me crazy. I'd thought I'd get it in the google-verse so anyone else who runs into it can benefit from my pain.
Array.sortOn() does not seem to work when the array elements are objects derived from MovieClip. The following code demonstrates.
It was about 10 years ago when carpal-tunnel first hit me. Every time I put my hand on my mouse, I'd get spasms of pain in my various parts of my arm. I tried special ergonomic mice and trackballs, but they didn't help. I tried speech recognition software, but it was a joke. Whether I could continue with my profession was becoming an issue. I even tried moving the mouse with my feet. Nose mousing was next.
Unlike Grant Skinner's gooify, which is a free-form distortion, the morph presented here is more constrained. It has an editable triangle mesh
The 'Simulate Download' feature in the Flash IDE is very useful. It can help debug race conditions that are a cause of intermittent problems. However, it can also lead you astray.
Problem: AS2 static variables are NOT reinitialized when you hit control-Enter the 2nd time to go into simulate-download mode.
If you'd like to try it, here's a simple test class:
A while back, I wrote about rendering Wood and Marble using Perlin noise. But I've found that these code bits are a pain to use. You need to write code just to see them. You can't work with them in the Flash IDE; i.e. they are inconvenient.
Solution: package them in components with live preview. That way you can see them, adjust their color visually, mask them, drop shadow them, etc.
So, here they are.

As the latest smartphone from Nokia arrives in the UK, sources claim that the Finnish manufacturer is cutting prices across its mobile phone range in order to remain competitive.
Today, mobile network Three announced it was going to make the X7 handset available, making it the first network to do so. The X7 will be the second Nokia phone to ship with the Symbian Anna update following the release of the E6 earlier this month. The X7 will be available on a two year contract from £30-a-month or you can buy the phone outright on pay-as-you-go for £379 - £30 more then the E6.
The X7 is powered by an ARM1176 680MHz processor, which seems is a little outdated at this stage. The stainless steel casing is complimented by the 4in AMOLED Gorilla Glass display on the front. On the rear is an 8 megapixel EDoF camera with dual LED flashes that can capture 720p video recordings. The X7 comes with 8GB of storage and supports up to 32GB via microSD card.
In other Nokia news Reuters are reporting that sources familiar with the matter have said the Finnish mobile giant has cut the prices on a range of its handsets including the N8, C7 and even the E6. The price cuts are an attempt to slow the decline in its share of the high-end smartphone market. Cuts of up to 15 percent are reported to have been made on the three models mentioned above.
"There are no very big cuts per model, but the scale - across the portfolio - is unseen for a very, very long time," said one of the sources, who works at a European telecoms operator. Nokia's shares dipped sharply following the news and were down 2 percent at €4.35 this afternoon. A Nokia spokesman said it was "business as usual" at the Finnish manufacturer.

Friday's playoff football games | All at 7:30 p.m.
Plant (10-1) at Orlando Dr. Phillips (11-0)
Winner faces: East Lake-Vero Beach winner on Nov. 30
Last week: Plant defeated Orlando Freedom, 48-31; Orlando Dr. Phillips defeated Wharton, 28-15
Breakdown: Plant gets a crack at the state's top-ranked Class 8A team, which prevailed over Wharton last Friday despite being outgained by 132 yards, had 18 fewer first downs and more penalties. The Panthers, who beat Dr. Phillips 49-13 in the region semifinals last year, are much more likely to seize upon the opportunities that Wharton squandered in Orlando. And if Plant jumps out to an early lead, Dr. Phillips is ill-equipped to mount a comeback.
Joel Anderson's pick: Plant, 31-14
Joey Knight's pick: Plant, 27-21
Newsome (7-4) at Durant (11-0)
Winner faces: Ridge Community-Kissimmee Osceola winner on Nov. 30
Last week: Newsome defeated Gaither, 52-7; Durant defeated Tampa Bay Tech, 34-7
Breakdown: Durant, the county's only undefeated team, surprised TBT with its efficient passing game in the playoff opener. QB Trey VanDeGrift went 10-of-15 for 133 yards, giving the Cougars' spread-option the sort of balance it didn't have earlier in the season. Newsome counters with a wing-T offense that rolled up more than 500 rushing yards against Gaither. But Durant isn't likely to allow the Wolves to repeat that performance or even match the 399 they gained in their regular-season matchup, won by the Cougars.
Joel Anderson's pick: Durant, 28-14
Joey Knight's pick: Durant, 34-28
Tampa Catholic (8-3) at Clearwater Central Catholic (10-1)
Winner faces: Fort Lauderdale University-Delray Beach American Heritage on Nov. 30
Last week: Tampa Catholic defeated Fort Meade, 24-23; Clearwater Central Catholic defeated Frostproof, 35-0
Breakdown: The Crusaders must - and probably will - fare better against CCC than they did in the regular season, when they fell behind 24-0 and finished with only 79 yards of offense. But will it be enough against a Marauders' defense that has shut out its past four opponents? On the other side of the ball, Tampa Catholic must force a couple turnovers and prevent the big plays that CCC has thrived on this season.
Joel Anderson's pick: CCC, 24-7
Joey Knight's pick: CCC, 28-7
Armwood (8-3) at Hillsborough (9-1)
Winner faces: Gainesville-Ocala Vanguard winner on Nov. 30.
Last week: Armwood defeated Largo, 10-6; Hillsborough defeated Osceola, 42-7
Breakdown: Armwood committed three consecutive personal-foul penalties on the only scoring drive of the teams' first meeting, a 3-0 Terriers triumph. Hillsborough sophomore QB Dwayne Lawson flourished that night (241 total yards), gashing the Hawks with simple isolation runs behind a blocker. One has to imagine Armwood will adjust this time around.
Joel Anderson's pick: Hillsborough, 14-13
Joey Knight's pick: Armwood, 17-7
Lakewood (10-1) at Robinson (10-1)
Winner faces: Pasco-Gainesville Eastside winner on Nov. 30
Last week: Lakewood defeated Orlando Bishop Moore, 37-13; Robinson defeated Port Orange Atlantic, 41-8
Breakdown: Because Robinson has scored first in all 11 of its games, the dynamic of this contest can change entirely if Lakewood strikes first. Don't be shocked if Lakewood puts as many as four people behind center to keep the Knights guessing. When senior Rodney Adams did his wildcat stint in the first matchup - a 19-8 Knights win - he ran for 79 yards on 10 carries.
Joel Anderson's pick: Robinson, 24-14
Joey Knight's pick: Robinson, 28-17
Carrollwood Day (10-1) at Naples First Baptist (11-0)
Winner faces: Belle Glade Glades Day-Miami Dade Christian winner on Nov. 30
Last week: First Baptist defeated Indian Rocks Christian, 42-21; CDS defeated Moore Haven, 24-12
Breakdown: First Baptist, winner of a suspect district, possesses good size for a 2A program (five linemen of 220 or more pounds) but not nearly the speed of Moore Haven. We see Robert Davis, who ran for 245 yards last week, darting around the edge and through seams at will.
Joel Anderson's pick: Naples First Baptist, 31-28
Joey Knight's pick: CDS, 35-3

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
I am sorry that your question was unanswered for long.The itching or irritation of the beginning of the urethra is likely either due to mild grade infection of inflammation due to irritation of inserting the catheter. You may apply Betadine solution (available without prescription) on a sterile cotton (available at the health stores) and wipe the urethra superficially. This can be done whenever you insert the catheter. Take care that catheter is properly lubricated by the Lidocaine jelly. A urine examination is usually recommended because many times there are no symptoms like frequency or urgency but urinary tract infection may be persisting. In that case, a course of antibiotic may be needed.Please feel free for your follow up questions.
I would be happy to assist you further, if you need any more information.

Titan Quest - Developer Comments
Crate Entertainment (Grim Dawn) designer 'Medierra' has made some fascinating comments about the publisher interference in the design of Titan Quest in a thread about the recent Rock, Paper, Shotgun interview. Here's an excerpt:
One example of this would be the mandate that enemies not use language or build anything that would make them seem like they had more than animal intelligence. It was felt by one of the higher-ups that people might feel wrong killing enemies that displayed any obvious intelligence. I guess somehow it is wrong to fight intelligent enemies but okay to slaughter dumb animals? We also weren't originally allowed to have humans die, ever, in the game and no human corpses.
One area where this handicapped us was in the creation of environmental assets that visually demonstrated the enemy's war against humanity. We originally wanted to create enemy siege-works outside Athens but were told that would make the enemies seem too intelligent. It was a struggle just to monster camp assets. All of the ruins were also removed from Greece at one point because someone was afraid that players might not understand why, if the game took place in ancient times, that there would still be ruins... I had to fight for both of these things. Without them, Greece would have just been a featureless expanse of wilderness with occasional human towns that never really appeared to be in any serious danger.
At the same time, we were told that enemies should seem like noble adversaries, not evil or demonic creatures. It was highly controversial when the designs for the Limos and Arachnids were first presented. I had to personally fight to get those approved because they were considered too grotesque and scary looking even though they were based on actually mythology. Undead and the Spirit Mastery were also a struggle to get in the game. I was told that Spirit Mastery was too "Necromancery and evil". We managed to push a few more things like that through over the course of development but it was always frowned upon.
Basically, my belief is that Titan Quest never had as much style and character as it could have because we were afraid to do anything even remotely controversial. When I first designed the skill masteries, they were all based on Olympian gods, with skills modeled after the powers or attributes associated with different gods in mythology. This was rejected because it was potentially too religious and people might not want to feel like they were worshiping mythological gods to receive their powers.
We ended up with a game set in Greek mythology that barely contained any actual mythology other than the inspiration for some of the monsters and dialog on peripheral story-teller NPCs stuck off to the side in the towns. The first quest I put in the game, when we were prototyping it for THQ was modeled after one of the 12 labors of Heracles. The Erymanthian Board was terrorizing a town and the hunters they sent after it hadn't returned. You had to ascend mount Erymanthos, discover the wreckage of the hunter's camp, and then continue on to the snow-capped summit to battle the monstrous board. Of course, I was told we couldn't have snow on the summit because people might not realize it snowed in Greece and then later the whole quest vanished and was replaced by generic crap like retrieving a dowry ring so some chick can get married while monsters are overrunning the world.

Jordan Still The Best But LeBron James Is Closing The Gap Quickly
JORDAN STILL THE BEST BUT LeBRON JAMES IS CLOSING THE GAP QUICKLY
For the first time, sports talking heads are asking who is the best all-time basketball player – Michael Jordan or LeBron James – and many sports fans are taking the discussion seriously.
LeBron is playing better than ever before. On most nights, it looks like a man against boys. He's a cinch to win his fourth NBA MVP award and has plenty of prime seasons left. He turned 20 last Dec. 30 and is in superb shape.
Most basketball experts and junkies believe it is too early to consider James in Jordan's league for "all-time best NBA player" and I agree – but I also think James has enough prime years left to make the comparison valid in the future.
I don't buy the argument that the number of championships should be a major factor in deciding between Air Jordan and King James. Jordan won six NBA titles. James has won one. But LeBron figures to win a few more with Miami and I believe leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference finals twice and to the NBA Finals once were at least as impressive as Jordan winning a few of his titles with consistently stronger supporting casts than James had with the Cavs.
Jordan had Scottie Pippen and talented role players. Who was the other star player to help James in Cleveland? Mo Williams? No thanks.
Two reasons to think James might ultimately be considered at least equal to Jordan as the all-time best NBA player: League MVP awards and All-NBA selections.
LeBron appears to be a lock for his fourth NBA Most Valuable Player Award (sorry Kevin Durant fans; I'm one, too, but he's not yet quite in James' class and may never be). Only three players earned more than four league MVPs: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (6), Bill Russell (5) and Michael Jordan (5).
James has a very good chance to top Russell and Jordan, and even Abdul-Jabbar.
James also could top Karl Malone's NBA-record 11 All-NBA First Teams selections. Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, Elgin Baylor, Bob Cousy, Bob Pettit and Jerry West each had 10 All-NBA First Team selections.
James already has been an All-NBA First Team pick six times. This will be his seventh.
The Buffalo Sabres started this lockout-abbreviated NHL season 2-0 and dreams of the franchise's first Stanley Cup were dancing in the heads of many loyal and frustrated fans in western New York.
The Sabres are 3-8-1 since and tied for 11th in points in the 15-team Eastern Conference, but it is too early to write off a trip to the playoffs. Buffalo has 34 games left to right the ship.
Here's what Buffalo is doing well and not so well:
The Sabres are far from an offensive powerhouse and several forwards are off to poor starts, but the team's 2.71 goals per game ranks 14th in the 30-team league entering Friday night's home game against Boston.
The Sabres ranked 11th in shots per game (30.0).
Buffalo is tied for 1st in winning percentage when leading entering the third period (1.000).
Most of the other numbers are discouraging.
Buffalo is allowing the most shots per game (33.9). Goalie Ryan Miller has been very good but the overall team defense ranks 26th in the league (allowing 3.43 goals per game).
The Sabres rank 27th in point percentage (11 of 28 possible points in the standings).
Special teams haven't been special: 26th on the power play (13.5 percent) and 16th in penalty killing (82.0 percent).
Buffalo has the third-most penalties (84) and ranks 22nd in fewest penalty minutes per game (15.4).
The Sabres need to improve at home (2-3-1). They're 3-5-0 on the road.
The teams with the best goalies don't always win championships – but they're often among the teams to beat.
For example, the AHL Amerks with David Leggio and the NLL Knighthawks with Matt Vinc.
The Amerks have the look of a genuine Calder Cup contender. They lead the 30-team league in goals, rank 3rd in goal differential (+27; 160-133) and 8th in point percentage (.611; 55 of 90 possible points in the standings).
Rochester is one of only four teams to rank in the top 10 in both power-play percentage (31.3; 44x207; tied for 2nd) and penalty-killing percentage (84.9; 158x186; 9th).
Leggio probably is Rochester's Most Valuable Player and could be a candidate for league MVP as well. He doesn't rank high in goals-against average because the Amerks are more offensive-minded than most of the league's other teams. He leads AHL goalies in victories, saves, games and minutes. He has a 25-12-1 record with a 2.76 goals-against average and .917 save percentage.
Many Amerk fans must be hoping Buffalo doesn't promote Leggio, but most people (including Leggio) must know he deserves at least a look.
The Knighthawks started 0-3 and the defending NLL champions were 9th and last in Brian Shanahan's weekly rankings just two weeks ago. But Rochester has won three straight in impressive fashion to improve their record to 3-3 and soar from 9th to 7th to 3rd in Shanahan's rankings.
Here's how Rochester has improved:
First three games – 0-3 record…outscored by opponents 38-32 (-6)…power play 6x11…penalty killing 7x14
Last three games – 3-0 record…outscored opponents 42-23 (+19)…power play 7x13…penalty killing 9x14.
The offense has exploded and figures to get even better. The defense is on the upgrade. Vinc has been particularly solid during the winning streak and is in the form that won him two NLL Goaltender of the Year awards. He ranks 2nd in the league in saves (259) and 3rd in goals-against per game (10.12).
This has been a tough year for prominent alumni of the Rochester Red Wings. Hall of Famers Stan Musial and Earl Weaver both died Jan. 19 and Steve Demeter passed way Feb. 3.
In honor of Demeter – one of my all-time favorite Red Wings and the best clutch hitter I ever saw play for Rochester – I said on my WHAM 1180 radio show that Demeter was the thirds baseman on the best Rochester infield in at least the last 50 years -- the 1966 Wings.
A caller quickly challenged my opinion and suggested I check out the 1971 Red Wings. That was fair.
1966 Red Wings: It was Earl Weaver's first season as manager and his Wings were 83-64 and won the International League pennant by 1 game over Toronto and Columbus:
1B Mike Epstein: .309 batting average; 25 doubles, 5 triples, 29 HRs, 102 RBI…The muscular left-handed slugger came from out of nowhere (Class A ball in 1965) to be selected IL Rookie of the Year and MVP…He proudly had SUPERJEW inscribed on his glove.
2B Mickey McGuire: The popular veteran had his best offensive season with Rochester. He hit .307 with 17 doubles, 5 triples, 3 HRs, 68 RBIs. He didn't have much speed (2x2 stolen bases) and was average defensively.
SS Mark Belanger: One of baseball's all-time best defensive shortstops. He had a decent season with the bat: .262, 12 doubles, 6 HRs, 38 RBI. He stole 19 bases in 24 attempts.
3B Steve Demeter: He was rock-solid, as always. He hit .313 with 32 doubles, 3 triples, 18 HRs and 82 RBI.
1971 Red Wings: It was Joe Altobelli's first season as manager of the Wings and his 86-54 team won the pennant by 7 games over Tidewater:
1B Terry Crowley: In 78 games, the smooth-swinging left-handed batter hit .282 with 29 doubles, 4 triples, 19 HRs and 63 RBIs…He shared time with right-handed hitting Larry Johnson, who hit .307 with 5 HRs and 39 RBI in 92 games.
2B Don Fazio: The Rush-Henrietta physical education teacher joined the team when the school year ended and was the final piece in the championship puzzle. In 95 games, he hit .272 with 12 doubles, 3 triples, 4 HRs and 37 RBI. He quickly impressed DP partner Bobby Grich with his quick hands and savvy…Ron Shelton went on to become a much better screenwriter/producer/director (Bull Durham) than baseball player. In 66 games with the 1971 Wings, he hit .260 with 1 HR and 9 RBI.
SS: Bobby Grich. All he did was earn Minor League Player of the Year honors: .336, 124 runs, 26 doubles, 9 triples, 32 HRs, 83 RBI. Excellent glovework.
3B: Mike Ferraro. He hit .272 with 20 doubles, 5 triples, 7 HRs and 65 RBI. Didn't run well but was a very good fielder.
I give Esptein a big advantage over Crowley/Johnson at first base; McGuire a slight edge over Fazio/Shelton at second base; Grich a big edge over Belanger at shortstop; and Demeter a slight edge over Ferraro at t hird base.
Conclusion: I give the 1966 Red Wings infielder a slight edge overall over the 1971 Red Wings…but I can't say you're wrong if you prefer the 1971 infield.
For the record, here are the active NBA players who've been chosen to All-NBA Teams:

Amateur wrestlers around the world were bodyslammed this week by the International Olympic Committee's executive board's recommendation that the ancient sport be dropped from the Summer Olympics starting in 2020.
The sport of wrestling didn't see this coming. If any sport was in danger of being erased from the Olympic menu it was modern pentathlon.
The Olympic "core sports" supposedly are based on popularity, participation worldwide, potential TV ratings, ticket sales, anti-doping policy and tradition.
Wrestling fills the bill more than many of the sports deemed worthy of remaining in the Olympics. It was an original sport when the modern Olympics began in 1896 and a staple of the ancient Olympics in Greece.
Here's the list of sports (including wrestling) set for the 2016 Summer Olympics). You pick the ones that should've been booted before wrestling:
Archery, aquatics (including synchronized swimming), athletics (track and field; including rhythmic gymnastics), badminton, basketball, boxing, canoe/kyack, cycling, equestrian, fencing, field hockey, soccer (fooootball), golf (added for 2016), handball, judo, modern pentathlon, rowing, rugby sevens, sailing, shooting, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, triathlon, volleyball (including beach) and weightlifting,
Eight sports are expected to apply for inclusion in 2020:
baseball/softball (unified bid), karate, roller sports, squash, wakeboarding, wushu and, I presume, wrestling.
I'd prefer to keep wrestling and dump archery, cycling, equestrian (room for horses but not for people?), fencing, field hockey, handball, modern pentathlon, sailing, shooting and triathlon. I know boxing and table tennis are popular on TV.
The IOC executive board's recommendation to drop wrestling is so outrageous that I wonder if it is was designed to draw attention to the Olympics in an off year. The IOC executive board will meet in May to decide which sport or sports to propose for 2020 inclusion. The final vote will be made at the full IOC session in September.
It will be a surprise if any team other than Miami, Oklahoma City, San Antonio and the Los Angeles Clippers wins the 2012-13 NBA championship.

The NFL reportedly is considering – not very seriously, I imagine –widening the playing field. Considering how much bigger the average player is these days, it isn't a ridiculous concept. And it could be applied to basketball and hockey, too.
This week's cover subject for Sports Illustrated is Michael Jordan – in celebration of his 50th birthday on Sunday. He has been on the cover more than any other athlete: Jordan 58, Muhammad Ali 38, Tiger Woods 24, Magic Johnson 23, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 22.
I'm not saying the Los Angeles Angels will be baseball's BEST team this season, but they're the team I'd most want to have a season-ticket to watch. When has a MLB team had three hitters as awesome as Albert Pujols, Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton?
Worst Valentine ever: Oscar Pistorius.
Departed 2012 Rochester Red Wings and their new organizations include OF Matt Carson (Cleveland), INF Ray Chang (Cincinnati), C Rene Rivera (San Diego), C J.R. Towles (St. Louis), RHP Jeff Manship (Colorado), RHP Jeff Gray (White Sox) and RHP Kyle Waldrop (Pittsburgh).

The last time Jimmy 'The Whirlwind' White appeared in a meaningful final on a Sunday night, traditionally the evening when snooker tournaments conclude, he wound up finishing third on ITV's gloriously garish I'm a Celebrity..Get Me Out of Here!
For a lifetime apparently defined by second place, at least it was something different.
Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo and minor TV personality Kim Woodburn were voted ahead of the ongoing snooker player by viewers in the Aussie 'Jungle' a couple of years back. It made a change from Stephen Hendry or Steve Davis doing the dirty on him. It may sound a tad unfortunate, but second place has tended to be White's natural habitat. It is said that they love a loser in the UK. There was nobody more loved by the British sporting public than Jimmy back in the day.
'The Whirlwind' was an attacking bundle of joy in his pomp. He has carted off over 20 trophies in 30 years in snooker, but his happiness was also his handicap: White has always been more about entertaining than winning. He hits his 50th birthday in May, with a testimonial lunch and dinner staged at the Grosvenor Hotel in London to mark his career a month later. It may be difficult to blot out the feeling of what might have been.
White remains a player who will forever be recalled for finishing behind some other bloke on the most revered occasions. Professional sport is strewn with such figures: golf's Colin Montgomerie, Earnie Shavers in boxing or Nikolay Davydenko in tennis. White is perhaps the daddy of them all. Or rather not.
He won the Masters in 1984 and the UK Championship in 1992, but will be remembered as the best man never to win the World Championship. He finished runner-up to Steve Davis (1984), John Parrott (1991) and Stephen Hendry (1990, 1992, 1993 and 1994). Always the bridesmaid and all that jazz.
White, from Tooting, turned up at last week's Masters final between Neil Robertson and Shaun Murphy to promote his testimonial. It was more a mild breeze than a whirlwind that followed him into the Alexandra Palace on Sunday.
It was certainly different from the quarter-century he spent playing in the Masters at the Old Wembley Conference Centre in the 1980s and 1990s, when 2,500 Londoners used to turn the arena into a bear pit with cries of 'C'mon Jimmy' adorning every flummoxed opponent who missed a shot against their darling.
He may not have been the world champion, but he remains the 'people's champion', a moniker he shared with the late hellraiser Alex Higgins in the 1980s. Tragically, his close mate Higgins died of throat cancer less than two years ago. White had his own cancer scare when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the 1990s, but is looking a picture of health during our chat. He has forged new friendships in the game, with his natural successor - triple world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan - agreeing to play an exhibition match at his testimonial.
White vowed to keep off the extra timber after being found wearing a red lycra jumpsuit on I'm a Celebrity, but the good living of lagers and a few helpings of curry have clearly clamped themselves to White. It is perhaps not difficult to understand when you are good mates with Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, and prefer a slice of life.
White could be spotted in the crowd at the final wearing an ear piece listening to the television commentary. Somewhat mischievously, the World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn, Davis's former manager back in the sport's halcyon days of the 1980s, joked that he may soon need one of them. White's last tournament win came in 2004, but he has no plans to give up yet.
DK: What brings you to the Masters when you are not playing?
White: We are announcing my testimonial which will take place on June 2. Barry Hearn said to me last year, 'you are coming up to 30 years as a professional so why don't you celebrate your career?' It is coming up to my 50th birthday party. On the day, we have Gino doing the food. We are having crocodile feet for lunch..only joking..
I am playing a match with Ronnie O'Sullivan, and then we have Joe Longthorne coming on to sing. We have loads of footballers, and all sorts of celebrities there. At night, we have a dinner dance, and Ronnie Wood is going to come on with a surprise band and they are going to sing 12 songs.
It is going to be a helluva day. I'll probably have to sing a song so that will probably empty the room. I'm excited about it, and looking forward to it...
DK: You must miss playing in these finals?
White: I lost in the last qualifying round to get to the UK, but I'm playing good stuff and am in the top 48. To get in the Masters, you have to get in the last 16. I've gone from 68 last year to 47, so hopefully I'm going in the right direction. I still feel that I'm too good not to be playing, and as long as I feel that I will continue playing.
DK: So Barry Hearn has been good for the sport?
White: The game was in dire straits three years ago, and I ended up going into the jungle. That is the answer to that. It was crap..there were only six tournaments. You practised for six weeks, played one match and it was all over. Barry Hearn has changed that. Not everybody is happy with the (smaller tournament) PTCs..
DK: What did you think of Mark Allen's criticism of Barry Hearn for shortening the matches at the UK Championship?
White: I thought changing the length of the matches at the UK was the wrong choice, but when I watched it..the punters coming to the UK saw a result. It is like you going to a football match, and leaving at half-time. I understand where Barry Hearn is coming from after watching it. And it was a success.
There is one tournament he can't touch, and that is the World Championship. I can't see that happening because in snooker there is a tiny bit of luck. If you have too many short matches at the World Championship, you would have the wrong players winning all the time, so he has got to keep the World Championship at least (best of) 19 frames.
DK: Do you think snooker is still sellable to sponsors?
White: Since Barry has come on board, we are refusing sponsors. Before Barry's arrival, we couldn't get any. We are in good shape.
DK: What do you think of the argument between Judd Trump and Neil Robertson? (Trump said he would have beaten Robertson "easy" after losing to the Australian in the Masters semi-final, while tournament winner Robertson rubbished Trump's immature conduct.)
White: I think one of them nicked the other one's football or something. They are a bit young to interest me in that nonsense. It was a bit more serious in my day. At the end of the day, as long as they behave properly and give the game the respect it deserves there is no problem with a little bit of banter. Judd is probably getting all the limelight and getting all the birds..some people are maybe a bit annoyed by that.
DK: What was the biggest incident after a game back in the day?
White: If (Alex) Higgins was playing you the next day, he'd try and ring your hotel room at two or three in the morning. He would try to send someone you sandwiches at two or three in the morning. He was a bit of a boy for that. We used to give out false room numbers, so he never got to me.
DK: Back in the 1980s people would be sitting with a pint and a cigarette when they were playing. Do you think there are the same personalities in the game?
White: Of course, you look at (Ronnie) O'Sullivan. You never know what he is going to do. He can be fantastic one minute. He is the most naturally gifted player I've seen, and he is getting whacked by Trump at the moment, so it is all good for the game. Ronnie is taking it well. I know O'Sullivan and he will be out to put this all right by the World Championship.
DK: You think Ronnie has still got the game for another world title?
White: Ronnie has got five or six world titles left in him. He is too good. He is far too good.
DK: How important is it for the game for guys like you and Steve Davis to continue playing?
White: I love playing. I had a 147 yesterday on a tight table. If I'm still playing well, there is no reason why I need to retire. My aim is to get back to the top 32. Hearn has given us all these great opportunities. You either want it or you don't. I am 100 per cent committed. I love the game too much. I've tried to go play golf or sit in the sun, but that is not for me.
DK: What do you think of the Alexandra Palace?
White: I've played at Wembley Conference Centre 25 times, and the Wembley Arena once. This is different. The crowd have got their pints in their seats, and are not under any pressure. It is a good experience all round.
DK: Ambitions for the year?
White: My main ambition is to get in the top 32. I aim to keep practising, keep working hard and organising my testimonial..I will be busy.
DK: Just sad that Alex Higgins won't be there?
There is a bit of sadness Alex won't be there. He would have been one of the guests of honour at the dinner, but it is not to be.
DK: Are testimonials not supposed to mark the end of a career?
White: Nah. This is just the beginning. Ok mate? God bless you.
Jimmy White stages his testimonial lunch and dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel on June 2.

Girls Talk
Roger Kumble's new seriocomedy sets out to debunk that famous feminist promise that women can have it all the career, the family and their sanity. As lights go up on a beached Brooke Shields, a milk pump attached to each breast, Kumble softens up his audience with broad comic strokes and entertainment industry in-jokes. He even pokes fun at racism before settling in to a serious examination of four power moms in Brentwood, and the dilemmas they face. As mother of three Lori, Shields shows up in a pink hoodie and Uggs, but pretty soon sky-high wedge heels and hefty designer handbags take over the stage (costumes by Ann Closs-Farley). She slobs about the solid, trilevel set (design by Tom Buderwitz) as the other, more pretentious moms arrive. Meanwhile Lori's former writing partner, Claire (Constance Zimmer), wants to lure her back to the cutthroat world of TV with an irresistible opportunity a meeting with Oprah herself. But what about Lori's commitments to her eldest kid's preschool fundraiser? Eileen Galindo is underused as Lori's uncomprehending temp nanny. Andrea Bendewald is magnificent as alpha mom Jane, especially when she unleashes her vicious tongue, completely annihilating Scarlett (Nicole Paggi), the needy Southern mom who is trying so hard to be Jewish ("Holla for challa!"). But Jane gets her comeuppance, courtesy of Claire, a fearless non-mom. This play is full of squabbly little victories, some distasteful, some victorious. It concludes abruptly on a cliffhanger, but by then Kumble has well and truly made his point. Lee Strasberg Institute, Marilyn Monroe Theatre, 7936 Santa Monica Blvd., W.

I was running a search and stumbled on the COOLEST website ever:
Didn't Miles Logan (jewel thief) in Blue Streak get a large frame Ruger Revolver from the drug kingpin to use to prove "he's not a cop"?
I think we can add another Ruger sighting. I think there was a Ruger Mini-14 in the begining of the new Batman film "Dark Knight". Hard to tell because the guy was in the shadows.
The silenced Mk II in Collateral anyone? Fantastic movie, and his response under the gun to those thugs in the alley was top notch (besides killing them after they were out of the fight; but hey, he's an assassin lol)
great sight .very addictive
that is an awesome website, i just about got carried away browsing several movies.

wikiHow to Create an Indoor Box Turtle Habitat
Three Parts:Choosing the housingSetting up the habitatProviding enrichmentCommunity Q&A
Box turtles are best kept outdoors where they have a lot of roaming area. However, that doesn't mean that those of us living in apartments can't provide them with a great home. We just have to put in the effort to create a good quality habitat indoors.
Part 1
Choosing the housing
1Have a large enclosure. Box turtles need lots of room. A small storage tub or aquarium really isn't enough.
- The best enclosure is a "turtle table": a wooden, shallow, rectangular box at least 3' wide, 6' long, and 1.5' tall. Basically as big as you can make it (no such thing as too much room)!
- A bookcase laid on its back may also work, if it has a solid-wood back (remove the shelves).
- If you choose to build the enclosure from wood, you'll need to waterproof the inside bottom and sides. Epoxy paint or polyurethane works well. So does lining the inside with pond liner. If you do this, make sure you avoid creating folds where water can get trapped.
Part 2
Setting up the habitat
1Add substrate. Cover half the enclosure with plain dirt (has to be fertilizer/chemical free) and the other half with sphagnum moss. Sphagnum moss is a great substrate because it retains moisture very well, just mist it daily with lukewarm water.
- Check with your vet before trying a different type of substrate, as some substrate (wood chips for example) can be a hazard to your turtle.
2Add one or more shelters. Your turtles need a place to hide. A tipped-over flowerpot works well.
3Provide a heat lamp. Place it on a far end of the enclosure so that your turtle can easily move away to the cooler side if it gets too warm.
- If your enclosure is made of wood or other flammable material, make sure the light is positioned so that the bulb and any hot metal parts don't touch the enclosure, or make any part of the habitat too hot to touch. If you can't touch it, you don't want your turtle touching it.
4Provide a UV source. UV light comes from the sun. If you can expose your turtle to UV light (via a patio or open window) for at least an hour daily then great! Otherwise, purchase a UV lamp. Pet stores sell lights that are a heat lamp and UV source in one, so that's pretty convenient.
Part 3
Providing enrichment
1Add climbing obstacles such as rocks and logs
- Use around an inch thick flat and quite wide rocks to make a climbing material for your turtle. Also, use something lightweight but durable.
- If your turtle is still young and tiny, it helps to use something that isn't too thick, to ensure it is easy for climbing.
2Add a swimming area. You can use a sturdy paint tray since it has a shallow area and a deep area. Put it in a corner and fill it with lukewarm water. This is also its drinking source. Or you can have a separate swimming area: get a large storage tub and fill it with lukewarm water that is deep enough to swim in, and with rocks to stand on. Let your turtle go swimming about 3 times a week; leave him in as long as he looks like he is having fun.
Community Q&A
What should I do if I can't identify my turtle's species?wikiHow ContributorYour best bet is to keep searching on the web. Look up the names species that are native to your geographic area and Google pictures of them to try to make a match. If you know of anyone who's an outdoorsman/woman and knowledgable about wild animals, you might ask him or her.
How often do you clean the turtle?wikiHow ContributorLet it swim in shallow, lukewarm water three times a week. Every two weeks, take it outside in a shallow container filled with lukewarm water. Take an old toothbrush and scrub the turtle's shell.
How do I take care of a turtle?wikiHow ContributorYou feed it fruits and vegetables every other day. You should also change out the water and clean the habitat.
What about salmonella? How do I know it's safe to handle my turtle?wikiHow ContributorAll turtles have salmonella until they have grown to over six inches. Always wash your hands after handling the turtle (even after the turtle has reached six inches).
Am I doing the right thing by feeding a baby turtle lettuce, and giving it a cat litter pan with a small bowl of water on one side and dry on the other?wikiHow ContributorTurtles cannot live only on lettuce; they require a varied diet with fruits, veggies and meat. Also, do not feed them any lettuce other than romaine if you are going to give them lettuce.
Do box turtles eat cucumbers?wikiHow ContributorI feed my 3 toed box turtle cucumbers, kale, spinach, romaine, bell peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, banana, melon, carrots, corn kernels (raw on or off the cob), nightcrawler worms and red worms. All of these should be cut up into small pieces. Box turtles should get fruit/veg mix every other day and protein (worms) on the other days. They require more protein than many people think and they enjoy it.
Can we use something else for swimming and drinking?wikiHow ContributorYes, you can place your turtle in your bathtub 3 times a week. They love it, and there's plenty of room for them to swim and have fun.
What do I do if my turtle's eyes are not opening properly?wikiHow ContributorTake it to a good reptile vet asap.
What does a three toad box turtle eat?wikiHow ContributorBox turtles require a varied diet. You should feed him: superworms, collard greens, mealworms, mustard greens, etc
How will I know if my turtles are having fun in their swimming area?wikiHow ContributorIf they are actively moving around and not just sitting there they are having fun.
Can I feed my turtle fruits and veggies?
How many times should I let my eastern box turtle in the grass to play?
When and for how long do box turtles hibernate?
Which soil is better for my Indian star tortoise where from I will get it?
How long can a turtle stay out of water?
- Pay attention to your turtle's likes and dislikes. Not all turtles are exactly the same. This is only a guide, and your turtle will know more about what it likes.
- Plan on taking you turtle out for regular supervised exercise. Perhaps a chemical free patch of grass, or let it roam your living room. Just let your turtle out to explore now and then!
- If your turtle is active and curious you know it's a happy turtle.
- If you must use an aquarium then tape a paper barrier around the outside, covering the bottom half of the tank. Turtles can and will run into glass! The paper creates a visual barrier as well as provides a sense of security.
- If you wish to add real plants, be careful! Your turtle will eat it and many plants are poisonous. Always check with you vet for approved plants.
- Put your turtles environment or habitat in a place that suits them best so they will feel at home.
- Most people make the mistake of providing a dry environment that is more suited for tortoises. Don't be fooled! Box turtles are land turtles, but they require a moist environment!
- Another common mistake is not giving the turtle enough room to live. Be sure that the box turtle has plenty of room!

The most basic problem is lists in Mathematica don't start at index
0. Secondly, the format of a For statement is For[start, test, incr,
body] so your code needs to be recognized For[i=1,i<=13,i++,rho=(i-1)
*25;V[[i]]=UserFunction[0.5]]. In general it's not a good idea to
capitalize the names of your variables, it opens the possibility of
name collision with predefined objects.

Amp issues
My stereos been cutting in and out! Took it to the dealer...tech says the amp is muting then unmuting...only one speaker playing now! Apparently amp is on national backorder. Anyone else had any issues with 2012 SRT?! Paid extra for upgraded stereo
Re: Amp issues
I have had the same issues with my 2012 model. It all begin during long road trips (obviously with the music cranked). I would find my sound unit go completely mute and would stay that way for a very long time. Although the nav screen still worked (along with the volume buttons as I could see myself adjusting the sound up and down), still no sound would come out. I tried cutting the car off and then turning it back on but to no avail, still nothing changed.
If I let the car sit for a hour or so then the unit would resume as normal. I have also had instances where the volume button did not work also.
I have since taken my unit to the dealership and had the unit replaced with a new one (I took video clips of the issues as they were happening so the guys at the dealership wouldnt just pass it off as a glitch).
Now that I have the "new" nav, I do not experience sound problems however I do still experience other problems like the reverse screen (back up camera) displaying when NOT in reverse, the screen getting stuck in a certain mode, as well as the actual navigation component messing up.
Not sure if this helps but you are definitely not alone on this.
classic sign that the amp is going into thermal protection from getting overly hot to keep from frying (no audio but head unit works)

Online discount brokers got a boost today after Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Bill Burnham said in a report that online transactions grew by 30% to 35% in the first quarter. That's stronger growth than Burnham had initially expected, prompting him to forecast higher Q1 revenues and earnings for the sector across the board. Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH) rose $9 1/8 to $103 3/8, recent Daily Double National Discount Brokers (NYSE: NDB) gained $4 9/16 to $32, E*Trade Group (Nasdaq: EGRP) added $11 3/4 to $72 5/8, Siebert Financial (Nasdaq: SIEB) climbed $4 11/16 to $28 1/8, JB Oxford Holdings (Nasdaq: JBOH) traded up $1 1/4 to $8 5/16, and Ameritrade (Nasdaq: AMTD) advanced $29 1/16 to $91 5/8. Track Data (Nasdaq: TRAC), which is set to join the online trading services fray next week, soared $14 to $27 in anticipation.
Atlanta-based online bank Net.B@nk (Nasdaq: NTBK) surged $25 11/16 to $101 11/16 after saying it opened 8,000 new accounts in Q1, putting the company in position to beat its goal of attracting an average of 2,000 new accounts every month this year. The bank currently has just over a total of 24,000 accounts, a figure that will double by the end of this year if the new-account creation rate from the first quarter can be sustained over the coming three quarters. The company attributed the rise in accounts to a new advertising program that promotes the bank's low fees and high yields for its core FDIC-insured checking and money market products, which represent about 66% of total accounts. Since reporting its first profitable quarter last July, Net.B@nk's shares are up 238% -- a high yield by any measure.
QUICK TAKES: Australian media and publishing powerhouse News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) rose $3 5/16 to $33 7/8 on various reports that the company will buy Liberty Media's (NYSE: LMG.A) 50% ownership interest in the Fox/Sports Networks cable TV channel partnership to consolidate its sports interests in the U.S., perhaps as soon as this week... Elsewhere, Liberty Media agreed to buy 10 million shares of set-top box maker General Instrument Corp. (NYSE: GIC) from private investment firm Forstmann Little for $280 million, sending that company's shares up $1 3/16 to $32 5/8. Liberty will become the largest shareholder in General Instrument, owning 18% of its outstanding shares. Forstmann Little also agreed to sell 5.3 million General Instrument shares back to the company for $148.4 million.
Online services conglomerate America Online (NYSE: AOL) climbed $16 15/16 to $166 15/16 after an article in the online version of the San Jose Mercury News speculated that the company may be thinking about a possible merger with TV network CBS Corp. (NYSE: CBS). CBS rose $1 3/4 to $41 7/8... Network processors maker MMC Networks (Nasdaq: MMCN) popped up $4 1/4 to $21 after naming former 3Com (Nasdaq: COMS) executive Douglas Spreng as its new president and CEO... Semiconductors and mobile communications equipment supplier Motorola (NYSE: MOT) added $2 7/8 to $76 7/8 after winning a three-year $219 million mobile communications contract from the Defense Department late last week. Motorola will be providing equipment which will be used in conjunction with the low earth-orbit satellite network operated by Iridium (Nasdaq: IRID), which rose $1 5/8 to $17 1/8.
Paging company SkyTel Communications (Nasdaq: SKYT) jumped $3 29/32 to $19 1/32 after Business Week's "Inside Wall Street" column speculated that telecommunications giant MCI WorldCom (Nasdaq: WCOM) may be interested in acquiring the company... Customer service support software provider Mosaix (Nasdaq: MOSX) moved up $2 3/8 to $10 3/4 after telecommunications equipment maker Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU) agreed to acquire the company for about $145 million in stock, or $10.77 per Mosaix share. Lucent rose $3 1/16 to $58 15/16... Web portal Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) picked up $39 3/8 today to $219 1/8 on lingering positive sentiment following its announcement last week that it will acquire streaming media company broadcast.com (Nasdaq: BCST) for $5.7 billion in stock. Broadcast.com rose $27 to $157.
Small business Internet services firm Netopia (Nasdaq: NTPA) picked up $1 5/16 to $11 7/8 after agreeing to create and manage a digital subscriber line (DSL) education center for GeoCities (Nasdaq: GCTY). Netopia will also be the exclusive small business DSL partner for GeoCities' "Pages that Pay" e-commerce affiliate program. GeoCities gained $26 7/16 to $143 9/16... Electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider Jabil Circuit (NYSE: JBL) climbed $3 3/4 to $44 7/16 after Morgan Stanley Dean Witter started coverage of the company with an "outperform" rating and a 12-month price target of $50 per share... Office-furniture maker Steelcase (NYSE: SCS) forged a $1 7/8 gain to $16 5/8 after receiving a positive write-up in the latest edition of Barron's. Computer printer maker Lexmark International (NYSE: LXK), which was also cast in a favorable light by the magazine, moved up $6 7/8 to $116.
Equipment rental company Rental Service Corp. (NYSE: RSV) jumped $5 to $22 1/4 after rival United Rentals (NYSE: URI) announced it has launched an unsolicited $22.75-a-share cash tender offer for the company in an attempt to break up a pending acquisition of Rental Service by NationsRent Inc. (NYSE: NRI)... Networking products and switch designer FORE Systems (Nasdaq: FORE) picked up $1 1/8 to $21 5/8 on continuing speculation that the company is a takeover target and will soon be acquired by a bigger fish in the networking sea... Natural foods retailer Whole Foods Market (Nasdaq: WFMI) tacked on $5 1/2 to $42 3/8 following an upgrade to "strong buy" from "accumulate" from Adams, Harkness & Hill.
Wireless communications technologies firm Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) gained $11 7/8 to $148 7/8 after First Albany raised its rating on the company to "accumulate" from "neutral" with a 12-month price target of $170 per share... Financial services transaction management systems developer BancTec (NYSE: BTC) gained $2 1/2 to $15 1/2 after agreeing to be acquired by private investment firm Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe for $525 million in cash and assumed debt... Consumer products marketer and distributor Sel-Lab Marketing (Nasdaq: SELB) soared $6 3/8 to $11 1/8 after posting fiscal 1998 EPS of $0.14, up from $0.03 last year.

Partition[list,3] gives you a list of subsets with 3 elements, Map can apply
a function to each of these subsets and Flatten can recombine them.
But you still would have to handle the last elements of the list, as
discards all extra elements that cannot be put into subsets of 3 elements

Christina Aguilera has an arcade at home.
The 'Fighter' hitmaker - who has a three-year-old son Max with ex-husband Jordan Bratman - loves playing "old school" video games and claims no one can beat her top scores when they come to her house to play.
She said: "I'm a huge game nerd. I have a mini-arcade in my house, but it's like old school games like 'Donkey Kong' and 'Mario'.
"I hold the record for all of them. Everyone who has a little gamer in them comes over and tries to beat my score, and I get a little competitive. I'm number one on 'Galaga'."
The 30-year-old beauty - who is now dating set assistant Matt Rutler - has seen several fans with tattoo tributes to her, and she finds the inkings "sweet".
She added to TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel: "It's so sweet, it's so flattering. I don't know what to say when I see it, I'm always in awe."
Video game fan Christina recently admitted she expects she will be immortalised in another leisurely pursuit in the feature.
The blonde star famously forgot the words to the US national anthem when performing at the Super Bowl and said she thinks it will end up as a question in popular board game Trivial Pursuit.
She said: "That night I knew, I just made myself a Trivial Pursuit question - 'in 2011 what female singer, you know, flubbed the lyrics?' It's just insane. But I have a really good laugh about it and you get over things. You get back up again and you just prove to yourself and to everyone you're much stronger."

CRD engine oil revisited
Longer term members of this forum will recall some time back when the CRD was just becoming popular we had discussions in this section regarding the oil requirement for the CRD, and its availability. There's plenty of evidence around that it is of critical importance to run the right oil.
Some owners (me for one), were choosing to source oil that complied with the Chrysler spec and supplying that to their dealer for fill at service.
Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 and Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5W- 30 were the major oils complying, then it became known that Shell changed their formula and the Helix Ultra Extra 5W-30 no longer complied.
I've found it difficult to get hold of the Mobil 1 product locally but still want to persevere to get hold of a complying oil. Our vehicle is just coming up for 40k service and I'm again trying to source the right oil.
Are other CRD owners still purchasing their own oil? or has the dust settled a bit, and people are happy to have the dealer supplied stuff?
Re: CRD engine oil revisited
I supply my own and I noticed last week that the Shell Helix Ultra Extra at Super Cheap has the Chrysler approval numbers on the containers. I checked all shelf stock and all had the correct approvals so I don't know if it is old stock or they have now added the Chrysler approval to the new stock.
Re: CRD engine oil revisited
Supplying my own Mobil1 ESP. I obtain it from Mobil Pricelist — Top Grade Oil at Lowest Price who appear to be one of the lowest priced.
Yes, GL Lubricants for Mobil 1 or it can be sourced in 20 litre containers from elsewhere. Maybe Shell have the Chrysler approvals again, however there web site data sheet does not mention it. Will need to check the bottle for MS 11106. If it has it, all good.
I buy my own, Mobile 1 ESP 5w30, get it from East coast lubricants (who have an outlet in Darwin as well ) 20L drum cost $221, that's just over $11 a liter, that's a bloody good price for a full synthetic (in Darwin )
Re: CRD engine oil revisited
In any event I found a supplier locally for Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 @ 20l for $243 - and I'm happy to use that from now on. And your $221 is a good price for Darwin, Yoda - not often you get a win with pricing up there!
Re: CRD engine oil revisited
Any clues apart from ringing where to find a local supplier? Web link etc?
Re: CRD engine oil revisited
I got my Mobil 1 from GL Lubricants of Regents Park (Sydney) http://www.gllubricants.com/index.ph...obil-Pricelist. Entry via the back door, pay the Asian lady, cash only, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more . While there, drop in for a schooner at Dooleys Regents Park Sports Club. It's where the Sydney Jeep Club hold their meetings.
My dealer uses valvoline synpower , meets all specifications, my crd is running like a dream.
Re: CRD engine oil revisited
Still waiting for my CRD to arrive, but can I ask, whats wrong with the dealer supplying the oil?

The family of a teenager who was allegedly murdered in South America have paid tribute to the talented young film-maker.
Dominic Bernard, 18, disappeared when he went to visit godbrother Aaron Hing in Guyana last October.
The teen, from Epsom in Surrey, had been due to fly back to England on November 5 but never showed up for his flight, sparking appeals from police and family.
A body found in the Berbice region of the country has not been officially identified, but is believed to be Mr Bernard.
His family – parents Andrew and Linda and Mr Bernard's two little sisters – said in a statement they were "devastated" by the news.
They said: "Dominic was full of hope, ambition, creativity, self-respect, faith and trust.
"He was very much loved by all his family as well as a wide circle of friends. He was a talented film-maker and we are in no doubt that he had a bright and successful future ahead of him."
Mr Bernard had already put together a number of music videos and had been due to join an American study programme run by established directors before his death.
His family said he had been inspired to make films from the age of 14 when he made a video on BMX maintenance and uploaded it to YouTube.
After that, he started his own channel on the video-sharing website and became increasingly knowledgeable.
The rap music fan and church-goer had even hoped to make a motivational film to inspire other youngsters.
His family said: "Dominic Bernard, aged just 18, was full of hope, ambition, creativity, self-respect, faith and trust.
"In chasing his dreams, exploring his heritage and doing the things that brought joy to his heart, and so many others, he tragically encountered those who do not share these values."
Mr Hing was arrested by police on Friday night while trying to check into a hotel. A second man, Staymon George, was detained by police on Saturday.

Hi there,
I understand there are a few threads with similar topics, but just had a few questions I couldn't find answers to.
I'm looking to buy a portable workstation - Have been looking at the Dell m6700 or Macbook Pro 2012 with 16gb ram.
I would want to run windows, as not sure i'd adapt to using osx & also using windows software.
How well does windows run on mac?
I would mainly be using: Maya, Mental Ray, Vray, Zbrush, Mudbox, Photoshop, After Effects, Topogun, Nuke & Also eventually dealing with RAW video/Prores.
The appeal of the Macbook is it seems more portable, good-design and possibly better resale value?
I have a separate monitor so being a smaller screen than the dell isnt an issue.
I've been working on Dell t5400 & HP xw6400 workstations which are probably a bit dated now, but was wondering what kind of performance to expect in comparison to a Dual Xeon (a few years old) and 8gb ram desktop?
Thanks alot!

Pull WK behind RV - what's this gadget do?
I purchased a vehicle that was previously towed behind an RV. It has this air hose hookup underneath the steering wheel and I can't figure out what it is via google or search on this forum. Can somebody please advise? Thanks.
Re: Pull WK behind RV - what's this gadget do?
Alot of cars that are towed behind RV's have a drive line disconect that is initialized via a pull in the vehichle.
Re: Pull WK behind RV - what's this gadget do?
self destroy button ;)
Re: Pull WK behind RV - what's this gadget do?
Probably for the tow brake system. There are some systems which mount an air cylinder between the seat and brake pedal. When the air brakes on the coach are applied the cylinder is pressurized to apply the jeep brakes.
Look for cylinder mounts or evidence where they once were installed. Also if you trace the air line it probably goes to the front of the vehicle where it could be connected to the coach with quick disconnects.
There are several different braking systems available for towed vehicles and this is one type.

Flexible packaging, storage and ordering – that is also AFT's job. That is why you can find systems and components for handling materials, commissioning and storing in almost all lines of business and branches
of industry – right through all stages of production.The Megaroll compact storage system in the automatic or forklift-used version is for example the cost-effective solution if the assortment only consists of a few articles, yet is stored on lots of pallets at the same time.
In conjunction with storage systems, standardized, highly-automated ordering systems have been produced under the brand name Picstore, where for example a robot, which can be programmed to specific products, carries out fully-automated ordering by layers.

Scan these over: Fewer than 33 percent of America's parents read to their nine-month-old children. Fewer than 39 percent read to their four-year-old children. Fewer than 28 percent remember to tell their child a story on a regular basis. Those statistics seem staggering, but the reality is that busy parents don't necessarily have the time to come up with daily literacy-based activities for their children. That's where Pocket Literacy Coach comes in. Pocket Literacy Coach is an innovative mobile learning system designed to coach parents on how to support their child's learning outside of the classroom. The system delivers daily text messages to cell phones with a short learning activity that parents use with their children to build their reading, math and learning skills. Research has proven that using educational text messages not only enhances parental involvement, but also helps parents make their children better readers. Created by literacy expert Dr. Chris Drew, the Pocket Literacy Coach system is an easy, affordable and convenient support program designed with the everyday parent in mind. Based on research and years of experience, each mini-lesson is designed by Ph.D. literacy scholar Drew and team of expert teachers.

Please could someone offer any advice on this?
I am hoping to buy a first floor purpose built maisonette. It's in a semi detached property with one ground floor p/b maisonette below.
I would like to buy the freehold. The reason for this is that there is some garden land owned by the first floor lease which I think might be quite valuable to turn into garages to rent out. Obviously I wouldn't be able to do this owning only the leasehold interest, which restricts usage to garden only. But I thought if I could buy the freehold then I could amend the lease terms either to remove the restrictions or to remove the garden land from the lease completely.
What I'm not sure about is whether I can do what I hope to do at all by law and if I can how I go about it. The lease is long - about 120 years left to run and the expenses (ground rent etc) very low so would I be right in thinking that the cost of buying the freehold should be low-ish too?
Would the freehold have to be purchased by both me and the lower maisonette or could I purchase it in my own name?
Many thanks in advance for any help/tips.

Francene Hart is a internationally recognized visionary artist whose work has been widely published in books and magazines and hangs in the homes of art collectors and the offices of healers and seekers around the planet. She was summoned by spirit in 2001 to the Big Island of Hawaii and is now painting, swimming and living her bliss in bless'ed Hawaii.
"Reverence for the natural environment, and experiencing the
interconnectedness between all things has long guided me to create
watercolor paintings of beauty and spirit. Life's continuing adventure
has led me into an exciting exploration into the wisdom and symbolic
imagery of Sacred Geometry. These paintings act as a bridge between
this reality and a metaphorical world of healing, continuity, and transformation.
I use multiple transparent watercolor glazes coupled with image overlapping
techniques, and sacred geometry to produce visions of a multi-dimensional
reality. It is my intention to create art that embodies the vibration
of Universal Love and expresses the joy and gratitude I feel for the
honor of being part of this earthwalk."

SUUs Mikkel Griffin Named Candidate for Senior CLASS Award
By SUU Strategic Communication
Related Links
CEDAR CITY, Utah, Feb. 20 – Southern Utah softball standout Mikkel Griffin was announced as one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award on Wednesday. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the award recognizes student-athletes who excel both on and off the field. To be eligible, student-athletes must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.
Griffin has been an exemplary student at SUU, maintaining a 3.82 GPA and being named to the Dean's List multiple times. She will graduate this spring with a degree in psychology.
"You're not going to find a better person or athlete, she is the real deal," said SUU head coach Kyle Magnusson about his senior outfielder. "The way she goes about things on and off the field is the way it should be."
Griffin spends several hours each week volunteering in the local community. She can often be found at nearby Danville Academy, a center for adults with mental disorders, assisting residents with everyday tasks. She also assists with patient rehabilitation at the Kolob Care Center and has organized softball events for the local youth.
Griffin was named an Easton All-American after a record-setting junior season at SUU. She led the team with a .404 batting average, 65 hits, 12 home runs, 115 total bases, 10 stolen bases and a .714 slugging percentage. Those numbers also helped Griffin earn recognition as the 2012 Summit League Player of the Year.
The candidate class will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one finalist who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition. The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the 2013 NCAA Women's College World Series® in Oklahoma City, May 30 through June 5.
Further information and a complete list of the candidates are available at www.seniorclassaward.com.
