text: Seahawks got some great home cooking against Pack and Pats. I bet they can get it on the road here. Hawks only avg. 16.5 pts a game but their D makes it stand up by relinguishing only 15.5. Lions avg. 22 but give up 25 yet our D is about middling. Seahawk D is top 5. Hawks use a rookie QB, Wilson, he's 5'11" he beat out the big FA signing from the Pack. Watch the Hawk secondary it's the biggest in the league. I bet they don't give up as much YAC as Lion secondary. Hawks rush avg. 133 per game, Lion 99 ----Hawks HCoach is on his second stint as a NFL coach [after abusing his stay at USC] and his team is rounding out nice. * Hawks 17 Body Slammer 1

Vindication for Charles Moore — and the Londoner. Thatcher's biographer disclosed during a Spectator discussion this week that the former PM believed Britain should withdraw from the European Union but was persuaded by her advisers to remain silent. "I had believed this was widely known but according to Andrew Neil, it is a story," wrote Moore in yesterday's Spectator.
Well, it was well-known to the Londoner which published a story in May 2001 under the headline: "Thatcher favours EU withdrawal".
As we reported: "One of the worst-kept secrets in politics can now been confirmed — Margaret Thatcher wants Britain to withdraw from the EU. Two weeks before the General Election campaign kicked off [in 2001], William Hague gave the former Prime Minister a guided tour of Conservative Central Office's 'war room'. Arriving at the European desk, she thundered: 'We've got to come out and we've got to come out quick.'"
Lady Thatcher's then spokesman, Mark Worthington, claimed at the time he did not hear her say that: "Her line on Europe has not changed — she is not the sort of person who keeps quiet when she has something to say." No, it was others who kept quiet about what she had to say.

Citation: SPAYD, S., TARARA, J.M., MEE, D., FERGUSON, J.C. SUNLIGHT AND TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON MERLOT BERRIES. PRACTICAL WINERY AND VINEYARDS. Pages 19-46, 82. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Anthocyanin and phenolic profiles of berry skins from Vitis vinifera cv. Merlot in the Yakima Valley of Washington were influenced by sun exposure and temperature in 1999 and 2000. Total skin monomeric anthocyanin (TSMA) concentrations were higher in 2000 than in 1999 in any given treatment. Berry temperature was increased as much as 13 C above ambient and shaded cluster temperatures when clusters were exposed to sunlight, regardless of aspect for north-south oriented rows. However, maximum fruit temperatures (sometimes exceeding 40 C) were higher for clusters on the west side of the canopy because ambient temperatures were higher in the afternoon. East-exposed clusters had higher TSMA concentrations than west-exposed or shaded clusters. To separate light and temperature effects, west-exposed clusters were cooled to the temperature of shaded clusters and shaded clusters were heated to the temperature of west-exposed clusters. Exposure to sunlight increased TSMA concentrations regardless of temperature in both years. In 1999 and 2000, cooling sun-exposed clusters increased TSMA concentrations. Heating shaded clusters decreased TSMA concentrations in 1999, but had no effect during the cooler ripening period of 2000. Decreased TSMA concentrations in berry skins from west-exposed clusters were due to temperature and not due to UV radiation. Exposure to solar radiation increased concentrations of the 3-glycosides of quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin. In 2000, sun-exposed clusters, regardless of aspect, had almost ten times greater concentrations of total flavonols than shaded clusters. Blocking UV significantly reduced individual and total flavonol concentrations, while temperature had little to no effect on their concentrations.

Hi all,
This is my first post so bear with me.
The subject is vmware and ettercap arp poisoning:
I have been searching for some answers for arp poisonig in vmware and found
conflicting answers.
so here goes.
Im running vmware workstation 7 on windows 7 ultimate, and have various
vm OS running for pentesting.
Host = Win 7 with atheros ar928xx adapter
guest = BT3/BT4 attacker vmguest bridged with win 7 host
guest = Win xp sp2 vmguest bridged with win 7 host
Now using ettercap on eth0 in backtrack 3 with ip forwarding on
arp poison works and and filters work also, although chk poison plugin says
no poisoning. Fine but no good just arping on same laptop.
think working due to the fact that vmware kida poisons already for the bridge
so sniffing everything anyway.
So setup Win xp guest with usb wi ralink n adapter:
D.O.S!!!!!!!! no internet at all
Now i think that if i had backtrack using usb adapter in vmware and win xp
victim using usb adapter in vmware it would work correctly???????
So please advise this as true as some ppl say it would work with correct
vmware network settings , bridged , NAt, HOST ONLY ETC...
Also have a great cantenna using rtl8187 picking up to a mile away....

This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
It seems that Hookbox is more or less a dead project. There is https://github.com/hookbox/hookbox, but even that hasn't been updated in 8 months. I guess nodejs finally won.
Provides integration with the Hookbox project providing Websocket/Comet support to the browser. This is primarily an API module, although it will allow for some end user configuration. A series of hooks will be implemented that allow modules to utilize Hookbox's webhooks in a simple and safe manner.
From the Hookbox website:
Hookbox's purpose is to ease the development of real-time web applications, with an emphasis on tight integration with existing web technology. Put simply, Hookbox is a web-enabled message queue. Browers may directly connect to Hookbox, subscribe to named channels, and publish and receive messages on those channels in real-time. An external application (typically the web application itself) may also publish messages to channels by means of the Hookbox REST interface. All authentication and authorization is performed by an external web application via designated "webhook" callbacks.
The Hookbox module provides that integration out of the box with a simplified, more Drupalish API that allows for multiple modules to share the connection to a single Hookbox server.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 25497 of 2010(Q) 1. PATHROSE,S/O.SCARIAH, AGED 65 YEARS, ... Petitioner 2. PARAMESWARAN, S/O.SANKARAN, Vs 1. THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, IDUKKI ... Respondent 2. TAHSILDAR(RR),DEVIKULAM TALUK, 3. VILLAGE OFFICER, For Petitioner :SRI.S.RAJASEKHARAN NAIR For Respondent : No Appearance The Hon'ble MR. Justice S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN Dated :13/08/2010 O R D E R S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C). No.25497 OF 2010 -------------------------- Dated this the 13thday of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T
Petitioners are sureties of the accused in C.C. No.231 of 1997 pending on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Pala. On default of the accused to appear on the hearing date fixed, the bond executed by him with the sureties was cancelled and proceedings for forfeiting the amount fixed thereunder were initiated under Section 446 of Cr.P.C against the petitioners/sureties. It appears that the learned Magistrate imposed penalty of Rs.50,000/-, the amount fixed under the surety bond, against each of the sureties. At present, it is submitted that revenue recovery proceedings for realisation of the penalty imposed are in progress. Ext.P1 is the order passed by the learned Magistrate imposing penalty of the sum indicated above, of which recovery proceedings, as stated, are in progress. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the appeal preferred against the orders passed under Section 446 of the Cr.P.C. along with a delay petition is pending before the Sessions Court Kotayam. Since the delay has not been condoned so far, no effective orders could be obtained against the revenue recovery proceedings, is the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners for entertaining this writ petition, which in fact is one seeking for a direction or order to stop all further revenue recovery proceedings on the basis of Ext.P1 order.
2. Prima facie, a writ petition to challenge the order imposing WPC No.25497/2010 2 penalty cannot be entertained. But having regard to the submission made by the counsel that an appeal has already been preferred but that could not be taken up for the reason it was belated, I find indulgence is called for.
The writ petition is disposed of with a direction that further proceedings from Ext.P1 shall stand suspended for a period of three months on satisfaction of the condition that each of the petitioners deposit a sum of Rs.10,000/- towards penalty imposed by the court below. In default of deposit of the sum by the petitioners, as directed above, on the expiry of the time limit fixed subject to the orders, if any, from the superior court, effective steps shall be taken for realisation of the penalty.
Petitioners can work out their remedies in the appeal for appropriate reliefs as provided by law.
Handover a copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Public Prosecutor on usual terms.

- Western Canada (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/western-canada/)
- - Alberta (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/western-canada/53538-alberta.html)
Top reasons to live in Alberta:
1. Big rock between you and B.C.
2. Ottawa who?
3. Tax is 5% instead of the approximately 200% as it is for the rest of the country.
4. You can exploit almost any natural resource you can think of.
5. You live in the only province that could actually afford to be its own country.
6. The Americans below you are all in anti-government militia groups.
Uhhh the steaks??? hello?? :yahoo:
or are you a vegan? :ban:
Importing Booze from USA to AB is cheap!
As an American, it's the closest to feeling like the US than any other area I've visited.
*Exception; Hardly any obese chicks. At least in ctown.
You are sadly mistaken. Go to Europe or Asia for fit girls. It's not bad in the core of Calgary but highly variable once you go outside.
I'm from Michigan though and I'm used to fatties everywhere so maybe it looked better to me than it really was. :laugh:
Hmmmm, no need to cert and/or emissions test used cars.
No taxes on private sales of used cars.
No 50 km/h over "stunt driving" laws.
Radar detectors are legal. (can you tell I used to live in Communist Ontario?)
Land transfer tax is significantly lower than Ontario.
Gas is the cheapest in the country.
Pay tends to be higher and the job security is good.
1:20 from my house is a town that many people come from all over the world to see (Banff), and the same for mountains that we get to ride for up to 7 months of the year.
On the same note, there are enough mountains here that if you're careful you can ride an entire season without ever standing in line.
Our drinking water comes from a glacier. Fuck yeah all you bottled water bitches... :yahoo:
There are more sunshine days per year here than most other places in the world.
Very low humidity means A/C is pretty much not necessary, even when it's 35 deg out in the summer.
Long summer days with the sun coming up at 5:00 and not setting until 10:00 at night.
Relaxed atmosphere around firearms meant that when I had a semi-auto pistol I quickly got a permit to bring it to any border crossing, range, or shop in the province. In Ontario I required separate permits to bring it to different ranges, a shop, etc.
Beer/wine/spirits are sold in private stores. In Ontario the LCBO is provincially owned and controls all the booze except beer. LCBO closes at 9:00 pm every night and earlier on sundays. :thumbsdown:
Provincially owned financial institutions and credit unions have some better offerings than the big banks for credit cards, accounts, etc.
We have some great locally brewed beer. What do you expect in grain and glacier water country?
There are massive parks dedicated to off-road vehicle use, sleds, ATVs, dirt bikes, and trucks...
Hmmmm... you might say I like it here.
Alberta isn't perfect though, it's still annoying to have to make a second stop after shopping to get beer.
Yeah Alberta's not perfect! Using p-gravel on the roads in the winter :icon_scratch:, a WCB system that heavily favours the employers :icon_scratch: (and I AM an employer...), crappy produce from the states instead of good stuff grown close to home in Ontario, but the positives FAR outweigh the negatives.

well last night my cusin came up to visit and we were looking around with his wrx last night to go racing, well, we didnt find much and my cusin was looking to race a srt-4 cause we hear all these horror stories about how bad they beat wrx's and so on.. so i called my buddy sean and asked him to call his friend with the neon to run, we met up and BSed some. it was funny cause the two guys with the neon that came in knew about me and my mustang and were sayin that im a professional driver.. i laughed and told them no (cause im not in my eyes but i might be good at driving) and so on. so my friend sean gave him 10 bucks for gas to race us. my cusin and i thought for sure he was going to beat us after the hole but i knew that i had to have a good hole shot. we asked him what he did in the 1/4 and he said 13.9 @97 but highest trap was 100.
well after getting the gas we find a light and finally we're waiting there, (he's stock by the way and we only had a KnN) im staging at 3 until i see the other light turn yellow then brought it up to 4500, BAM! light turns green and we're off! right away at the top of 1st we had about 1.5 cars hit 2nd and then had about 2.5- 3 cars and thats the way it stayed all the way to 95 mph. we slowed down and he asked to run em from a 20 mph roll so we did. (my cusin and i already knew he was going to pull on us but owell, we did it anyway since we just beat him by 3 cars) three honks and we're off top of 1st he had a fender hit 2nd he brought about a 1 car and 3rd he had about 2 cars on us. made me happy and my cusin happy that we beat him from a stop though. cool guy.

In just a few hours I will be on stage keynoting Forrester's eBusiness and Channel Strategy Forum: Seizing Opportunity From Digital Disruption. This is an exciting event because it was one year ago at this same forum that I debuted our research on Digital Disruption, to overwhelmingly positive response.
It's now a year later and a lot has happened. Digital Disruption will soon be available as a hardback book (also as an eBook, natch). You can pre-order a copy now at Forr.com/DDbook. To complete the book I had to get far outside of my comfort zone -- I work with media companies and consumer product companies primarily, but to prove that digital disruption is a fundamental change in the way we all do business, I had to interview people in the pharmaceutical industry, the military camouflage industry, and I even recently spoke to the CIO of a cement manufacturer! And to my pleasant surprise, they were every bit as digitally disruptive as their counterparts in the consumer-facing enterprises that we think of when we imagine digital disruption.
One of the main reasons every company can be and eventually must be a digital disruptor is the rise of digital platforms. These platforms are founded on a set of devices, wrapped together with software experiences that identify each customer individually, and are open to app contributions from thousands of partners. The platform owners that matter today are Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.

Earlier this week I caught up with Discover's Mike Boush to talk about his keynote at the upcoming eBusiness Forum, where he'll explore innovations in eBusiness at Discover. Here's a snippet of our conversation, and a sneak peak of Mike's session at the event:
Q: What digital initiative have you undertaken in the last 12 months that you're most excited about?
A: I love what we're doing with partnerships online. It's creating a whole lot of value for customers and, frankly, getting us out of the "must be built at Discover" mentality. It started with an integration with PayPal in order to deliver peer-to-peer payment services. The program leverages PayPal's huge delivery platform, and customers love it. Then we introduced an integration with Amazon that lets customers pay for their Amazon.com purchases with the cash they earned through our Cashback Bonus rewards program. This really highlights the difference between competitors' "points" programs and our straightforward cash, and the transparency shows just how great our program is. And recently, Google announced our integration of Discover card enrollment into the Google Wallet from our website, which is convenient for customers and helps position us in the mobile payments space. These integrations are just a sample of what we've done, but they become powerful illustration of what we can do when we team up and innovate with other great companies.
Q: What gets in the way of delivering the right experience to your customers?

Yet today at WWDC 2012, Tim Cook himself announced that the number of apps downloaded from the App Store has passed 30 billion. Quite an accomplishment, we must add. In comparison, the Google Play store can brag with some 15 billion downloads and counting, which is also impressive, yet still far from reaching Apple's milestone.
The Apple App Store currently contains over 650,000 applications, with at least 250,000 of them tailored to work on the iPad as well. All this software has brought an excess of $5 billion straight to developers' pockets. "Nothing makes us happier than seeing hundreds of thousands of developers around the world using our hardware and our software to create and share their latest and greatest ideas," Tim Cook added.

Scary Movie 5Close
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Scary Movie 5 is the latest in the increasingly tired series of horror movie spoofs begun in 2000 by the Wayans brothers (and now continued by others). Like the others, it's filled with vulgar, rude humor and relies on slapstick, stereotypes, crude bodily jokes, and sexual innuendo for laughs. It also includes some horror violence, notably a scene of dismemberment (out of Evil Dead) that's filled with blood. There are also meant-to-be comical scenes of parents punching and smacking children (both accidentally and on purpose). Though there's no graphic nudity or sex, innuendo is very strong, and there's plenty of racy stuff. In the opening sequence, Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan make a sex tape, there's a lesbian sex scene, and a pool party sequence shows haunted pool vacuum cleaners drinking and doing drugs. Language includes one "f--k" and many uses of "s--t." Some teens may be interested, but otherwise, this series has run out of steam.
- Sexual Content
- Tons of sexual innuendo, imagery, and banter. Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan make a "comical" sex tape in the opening scene. There's an additional sex scene, though no graphic nudity. Dogs are shown copulating. There's a "party" of pool vacuum cleaners, and they're shown in sexual positions. Crude drawings of penises are briefly shown. A woman performs a sexy pole dance. Two women in bikinis are shown showering together, soaping each other. 50 Shades of Gray is mentioned. A "naughty nanny" is shown, along with a "crotchless" Santa Claus. A sex toy is shown. A porn website is shown (no nudity).
- Violence
- In one scene, a clueless aunt and uncle punch a couple of little girls in the face (the girls punch back). A baby's head is bashed on a door frame and is also accidentally set on fire. In a scene spoofing Evil Dead, characters saw off their limbs and slice their tongues -- it all happens off screen, though lots of blood is shown. Two characters draw and fire guns. Lots of slapstick falling, characters getting clocked in the head, and comical fighting.
- Language
- One use of "f--k" and several uses of "s--t," plus the "N" word, "bitch," "slut," "penis," "vagina," "balls," "hell," "ass," "crap," "damn," and "oh my God."
- Social Behavior
- As usual, jokes are based on stereotypes, poop jokes, and bodily humor. Characters never seem to learn anything, let alone demonstrate awareness of what's going on.
- Consumerism
- Mentos are shown in one scene (a girl eats them, drinks a soda, and then shoots across the room like a rocket).
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- In one scene, a bunch of "haunted" pool vacuum cleaners have a huge party and are seen "drinking" and snorting cocaine. In an early scene, Snoop Dogg and another character are shown stealing an enormous joint; they also talk about drugs. Two women take Ecstasy in a nightclub.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

I live in kolkata, India. I use a local brand. It has a bit of alcohol I guess, but it doesn't really dry out my hair .. I used it with two drops of castor oil, just to coat the top layer of my hair and it worked well ..
If you don't get commercial aloe gel where you live, you can always buy fresh aloe vera leaves at the grocery store and blend them with whatever you want in a mixer. I have heard natural aloe doesn't leave the hair crunchy and gives good hold too.
You may also try flax seeds to make a light hair gel. Google it !!

First Impression - AaronThe gates descended into place the second the last prisoner was hauled in the courtyard of the Asgard Human Ranch. The lot of prisoners huddled together, clinging to each other and stepping away from the Desians serving guards as to protect themselves from the scathing looks directed at their way.
As if.
A few kids were crying and begging their parents to leave and go back home. As if. Their houses had been torched and left to burn until only ashes were left to be blown away by the wind. In a few years, no one would remember a village ever existed in that forest.
As nothing happened, some inferior beings slowly regained colour and started to return he glares. Whispers like: "It will be ok", "Nothing is going to happen" and "We can do it" were thrown around more and more frequently. After a while, only a newborn was still wailing for milk and the younger prisoners were even smiling a bit. From his position he could hear them murmuring about coming up
Advent Calendar.
ToSCountdown was created to countdown Tales of Symphonia-related events by submitting artwork/cosplay pictures/stories beforehand to celebrate.
From time to time we will run ToS-related events like the current countdown for the final episode of the OVA or an anniversary of the series.
To become a member of this group, just request to join!
Members can submit ToS-related pictures once a week to the Member Gallery folder. (They don't have to be countdown related.)
But if you want to be a part of one of our countdown projects, you must apply beforehand (we will write a journal about it and you can post there).
Additionally, you don't have to wait for us if you want to countdown something ToS-related! If you are interested in running your own ToS-related countdown events, please send a message to one of the admin and we'll help you out (either applying for people to help or to create a new folder you and your friends can use for your personal countdown.)
If you don't feel like contributing and just want to follow the countdown, feel free to just watch the group. We need people to draw for after all!

text: NEW YORK, June 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To meet businesses' increasing demand for cyberliability insurance, the Select Professional insurance operation of XL Group plc (NYSE: XL) has expanded its technology underwriting capabilities in New York, Atlanta and Chicago, adding six seasoned underwriters to its US cyberliability underwriting group and has appointed a new Vice President to its Select Professional group. According to Scott Schleicher, XL Group's Technology and Cyber Risk Underwriting Manager "You don't have to look far to find media coverage of network security breaches that can put customer information or proprietary data in the wrong hands and tarnish a company's reputation and customer loyalty. It costs plenty for a company to recover from an online security breach or other tech failure. Businesses are realizing how vulnerable they are to technology risks and are seeing more value in cyberliability insurance." "Quite simply, if a company has a computer network, they should be concerned. By boosting our tech underwriting capabilities, we're better prepared to address our clients' cyberliability concerns. Our dependence on technology is growing and its associated risks are too," said Mr. Schleicher. "We're pleased to bring on such a talented team, all with strong track records in the Tech/Cyber errors & omissions (E&O) business and considerable insight in managing those risks." In New York, XL Group adds Marcin Weryk and Maura Weikman as senior underwriters and Ryan Gibney as underwriter. Dawn Simmons, senior underwriter in XL's London office, is also joining XL's New York-based tech/cyberliability team. Ms. Simmons joined XL Group in 2010 to launch XL's cyberliability products in Europe and has worked in both XL's London and Paris offices. To provide brokers more local access to its technology and cyberliability expertise, XL is setting up additional regional underwriting operations, adding Joel Fehrman as underwriter in XL's Atlanta office, Vernon W. Suckerman as senior underwriter in Chicago. Steve Anderson is the senior underwriter for this business in XL's Dallas office. XL Group's Select Professional group also appointed John Coletti as Vice President. Mr. Coletti joins XL from CNA. Prior to CNA, he honed professional liability underwriting skills at Gulf Insurance in New York. Mr. Coletti will be based in XL's New York office and report to Don Allard, Chief Underwriting Officer of XL Group's Select Professional business. XL Group's technology E&O products include XL Eclipse which offers a comprehensive package of cyberliability coverage under one policy form, including Network Security Liability, Privacy Liability, Extortion Threat and Media Content Services Liability. Available coverage also provides financial protection against costs incurred by an interruption in business, privacy notification and credit monitoring costs, regulatory fines or crisis management expenses. XL EclipsePro offers these cyberliability coverages but also incorporates technology E&O to address the professional liability needs of technology products and service providers.

I'm not sure where to post this. If it doesn't belong here, or on this forum I apologize.
I'm just wondering, why would a gun club/range not allow human shaped targets ?
We have a real nice relatively new gun club here in Ashburn Va called Silver Eagle. They seem pretty laid back about most things, and a good place to go shoot relatively cheap.
But I found out today by accident that they don't allow human shaped targets. It makes no sense to me. They offer all types of self defense classes, scenario training etc.. The point of all of that is to be able to successfully defend yourself against a human ( in most cases ) target.
So what is the deal with not allowing human targets for practice ?
I really don't care for myself. My shooting is not to the point to care about much except being able to hit a 6" plate at 7 yards. :-)
But it seems like a sellout to the PC gun hater crowd. Am I missing some ethical issue here ?

Pop Art Paintings On McDonald's Fries [Pics]

Australian artist Ben Frost, who is known for his kaleidoscopic Pop Art, mash-up paintings that takes inspiration from areas as diverse as graffiti, collage, photorealism and sign-writing, has a series of works that use the classic McDonald's french fries packaging as the canvas.
The red cartons with the bold yellow logos are hand painted with images of pop culture icons, superheroes, cartoons, anime, and more. 'Packaging Paintings' features acrylic paint on the packaging, reimagining them with impressive creations.
Frost has been exhibiting in Australia and internationally over the last ten years, including solo shows in London, New York and San Francisco.

Trane XB 13 Condenser Fan
I have a Trane XB 13 unit, AC/Heat pump. The unit sounded different a few days ago and then the fan stopped running. Load buzzing noise now coming from the unit. Killed the power. Drip pan has been drained and cleaned. Turned power back on and the fan ran again for 5 minutes and then shut off. Load buzzing noise was still there. Fan spins freely and the capacitor does not appear to be bulged.
Anyone have any ideas? I am thinking of replacing the fan motor and replacing the capacitor as that will probable cost the same as a service call.
Fan # K55HXJPM-9251 Emmerson 1/6
GE capacitor - 97F9899
If it is the condenser fan, Check the contactor first.
Okay, when you mention the drip pan it leads me to wonder if you are talking about the indoor blower motor, not the outdoor condenser fan motor...?
...In which case it could be the blower relay.
I cleaned the drip pan as I thought the float may have been the issue. It is definitly the outside motor unit. Happened tonight again. Ran for 5 minutes and then the motor slowed and shut down.
I checked all the connections and they don't look burned. Circuit board is blinking green.
Appreciate everyone's feedback. If its something I can handle, I would like to give it a try. Otherwise, I know when its time to call a professional.
Measuring motor current may give a clue in this case. If the current is normal maybe the cut-out itself is faulty.
You could also try wrapping the motor with a plastic bag full of ice for a half hour or so and then see if the cooled motor goes for more than the five minutes.
Do you have any electrical testing instruments? Like an ammeter, or volt meter?
Can you get to the motor to see if it is hot to the touch right after it shuts off?
You said it is the outside unit. also the circuit board is blinking..WHERE is this circuit board ??
TTB is basic condenser , shouldn't have a board with light, what is the system's model number?
The 'load buzzing noise' is likely the compressor running at high pressure. You can't tell if a capacitor is bad by looking at it (unless it's bulged, but they don't always bulge). 1st thing I would do if you don't have a meter to measure the mfds is to replace the fan capacitor. at $5-$10, you don't lose much by trying. If the problem continues, it's likely the motor. For the capacitor, get the exact mfd (uf) rating and the same VAC or higher (i.e., 370VAC or 440 VAC).

A fellow Pittsburgh Blogger (ThatNight) wrote an amazing post about called, "Personal Blogger Resourceâ€. I recommend that everyone in to blogging check it out, it's well written and the tips are timeless.
After reading the post it got me thinking what makes a bad blogger bad. Sometimes if you look at what you can do wrong it helps you do what's right. So here is my list for what bloggers should do if they want to be a bad blogger.
1. Tiny Details – A bad blogger should always bore their readers with every detail that happens to them. For example if you are blogging about walking to work, you must write about how everyone was dressed. Think about the last Steven King novel you read and you will know what kind of detail I expect in a bad bloggers post.
2. Destroy Commenters – When someone has the audacity to comment on YOUR blog with THEIR opinion punish them with hate. A bad blogger must always be right. If a commenter proves you wrong delete the comment right away.
3. Never Tell the Truth – Never be yourself and make up stories about how amazing you are. If someone catches you in a lie just block them from your blog so they don't tell everyone else. Or start an evil rumor about them to discredit them. Lying is one of the most important things you can do to be a bad blogger.
4. Never Design – As a bad blogger you have no time to design a nice looking blog so just use the default theme your blogging platform came with. People should be reading your amazing content, not looking at eye candy. Keep them on task by making your site ugly.
5. Fake Friends – Join as many social networks that you can, using your blogs name. You will also have to create a many fake accounts as you can and then friend yourself. This will help reinforce your lies about how funny and popular you are.
6. Emo Emo Emo – Bad bloggers must obsessively write about how sad and depressed they are. Remember you're not happy and no one else should be happy. Your job is to bring everyone else down.
7. Spelling and Grammar – As a bad blogger you should never worry about spelling and grammar. If your readers can't understand what your writing that's their problem not yours.
8. Build a False Sense of Yourself – Looking in the mirror for about five to ten minutes before you blog and tell yourself how amazing you are. Tell yourself that Google Analytics is wrong and you do have more than three visitors a day. Tell yourself that you have so many RSS readers that FeedBurner cannot keep up, that's why it always says zero subscribers. If you do this your ego will grow, despite your short comings. Having a false sense of yourself is the second most important thing for a bad blogger, lying is always number one.
There are a lot of other bad bloggers already out there so I hope my tips help you standout. Remember it's a lot of hard work keeping track of all your lies and growing ego. No one said being a bad blogger was easy.
If there is anything I missed, be sure to let me know. Since I am not a "bad blogger†I will appreciate your comments.

House Ag. Chair moves to fund wetlands and waterfowl conservation
Farmers and ranchers also benefit
WASHINGTON, July 2, 2007 – U. S. House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson's (MN) wants to make conservation a top priority in this year's farm bill reauthorization. The chairman recently unveiled a new legislative approach that would save the Wetlands Reserve Program and protect native prairie.
"Chairman Peterson is advancing an idea that makes the future of the Wetlands Reserve Program and our valuable native prairie brighter," Ducks Unlimited Executive Vice President Don Young said. "We look forward to continuing our support of these programs as the process moves forward. We are grateful for the strong commitment to conservation Chairman Peterson is showing."
Some proposals would eliminate or weaken the Wetlands Reserve Program. Ducks Unlimited is working hard to make sure the program is fully funded to conserve and restore 250,000 acres a year and that farmers and ranchers get a fair payment for their wetlands conservation efforts.
Chairman Peterson's plan would provide money for the Wetlands Reserve Program in the new farm bill. The Wetlands Reserve Program has conserved almost 2 million acres since its inception. These acres are critical migration and winter habitat for waterfowl, as well as habitat for numerous other wildlife species.
"This new legislative proposal would continue and strengthen critical on-the-farm conservation efforts in the 2007 farm bill," said DU's Governmental Affairs Representative Bart James. "Chairman Peterson's idea would continue funding the Wetlands Reserve Program. This program is vital to waterfowl habitat conservation efforts."
Other competing proposals for the 2007 farm bill would make funding for the Wetlands Reserve Program contingent upon money being available in the future, or cutting funding from other conservation programs.
"You can't do effective habitat conservation with a 'rob Peter to pay Paul' mentality," James said. "We're still losing more than 80,000 acres of wetlands every year in the U.S. A weakened Wetlands Reserve Program would drive wetlands losses up dramatically, negatively impact hundreds of wildlife species and take away a stable source of income from farmers and ranchers."
DU members nationwide are asking their members of Congress to fully fund the Wetlands Reserve Program and other farm bill conservation programs. Even with the new proposal, there's still a need to find funding for the Grasslands Reserve Program.
"DU members are being heard in Congress," said DU President Bruce Lewis. "But it's important for them to continue contacting their senators and representatives about ensuring conservation in the farm bill. We need all members of Congress to support sodsaver and adequate funding for programs like the Wetlands and Grasslands Reserve programs."
Native prairie, especially in the duck producing Prairie Pothole Region of Montana and North and South Dakota, will gain greater protection through the inclusion of a "sodsaver" provision. Sodsaver will remove incentives for farmers and landowners to convert native prairie for agricultural production.
The Prairie Pothole Region is America's most endangered ecosystem. Native prairie remaining in the Dakotas is the nation's most important duck production habitat. Its rapid loss is being fueled by expanding production of soybeans, corn and other crops.

'The Walking Dead' Season 4 SPOILERS: Who Dies? SHOCKING Major Character Deaths Unveiled, New Comic Book Details Hint Rick Grimes vs. Negan Showdown [VIDEO]
"The Walking Dead" season 4 fans are definitely still reeling after the death of a major character [spoilers ahead] in the mid-season finale, but a far worse villain may be coming on the horizon.
In the mid-season finale, titled "Too Far Gone," the epic battle between The Governor and Rick Grimes finally came. The Governor wants Rick and his crew to give up the Prison, but Rick doesn't want to and tries to get the Governor to change his mind, saying they could cohabit, but The Governor doesn't want to. He ends up brutally cutting off Hershel's head while his daughter Maggie and Beth look on. He also shoots Lilly's zombie daughter Meghan in the head.
Then, Michonne stabs The Governor in the chest and Lilly comes up behind her and shoots him in the head.
In the comic books, it was Tyreese that was killed by the Governor.
Fans definitely didn't want Hershel to die at all, but it looks like it might have been coming all along.
So what is next for the "Walking Dead" clan?
MTV News had some hunches from the comic books about what could happen in the highly anticipated second half of season 4.
One interesting guess is that Rick and company will meet up and will not have a clear destination in mind on where to go next after the Prison. Rumors are that they could end up at Hershel's Farm.
"It makes a certain amount of sense, as Maggie and Beth may want to go home after their father was so cruelly executed. And sadly, it may tie into a storyline from the books that finds Maggie trying to commit suicide," MTV said. "Rumors also state that while at The Farm we'll meet new characters Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita, which will lead to ..." MTV then furthers says that it may lead to the Capitol, Washington, D.C., also revealing that they know how to stop the zombie plague, making "a shocking, terrifying way to leave us at the end of season four."
Whats more interesting is that Rick could run into a man more dangerous than The Governor: Negan. In the comics, Rick takes the group to the Alexandria Safe Zone, "a better version of Woodbury." They take control but run into trouble with Negan.
Back in August, there was more talk about Negan being introduced into the popular AMC show. Read about it HERE.
What do you think will happen after the mid-season finale? Sound off below!

"The Walking Dead" returns with the rest of season 4 in Feb. 9, 2014.

Los Angeles Gasoline Climbs After BP Carson Shuts Compressor
Spot gasoline in Los Angeles gained for the first time in three days after BP Plc (BP/) shut a compressor at the Carson oil refinery for repairs.
The 266,000-barrel-a-day Carson plant in Southern California reported a breakdown to state and air regulators today. The refinery shut a compressor as part of a maintenance turnaround, a person familiar with operations there said.
California-blend gasoline, or Carbob, in Los Angeles strengthened 0.5 cent to a premium of 0.5 cent a gallon versus futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 3:55 p.m. East Coast time, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
BP began scheduled repairs on a fluid catalytic cracker and an alkylation unit at the Carson refinery on Jan. 7, a person familiar with the maintenance said at the time.
The discount for Carbob in San Francisco widened 3.5 cents to 20 cents a gallon against futures.
Carbob inventories in California jumped 9.6 percent to 6.83 million barrels in the week ended Jan. 4, data compiled by the state Energy Commission show.
California-blend diesel in Los Angeles weakened 1 cent to a 5.5-cent-a-gallon premium to Nymex heating oil futures. The discount for the same fuel in San Francisco widened 3.5 cents to 7.5 cents a gallon against futures. In Portland, low-sulfur diesel widened its discount 3 cents to 8 cents a gallon.
Conventional, 84-octane gasoline in Portland, Oregon, weakened 1.5 cents to 24.5 cents a gallon below futures.

The Complete Guide to iPad Video Format
Apple took their next steps into the portable video market with the new iPad tablet with video capabilities. In this article, we'll look at the iPad video format so that those looking to convert their own video content can make informed decisions about the options available and the best resolution and format to use for the best possible viewing experience.
iPad Video Format Supported (Straight from Apple)
- H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
- MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
- Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Apple's Choice of iPad Video Format
Same with iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, the new iPad will play back videos encoded using either the MPEG-4 or H.264 codecs. These are open-standard video formats, and not in any way proprietary to Apple, but at the same time do not represent a broad portion of the video content that is currently available outside of the iTunes Store. Further, this does not represent the video standard that is used by most video recording devices, TV recording devices, or commercial DVDs. The result is that finding video content from anywhere other than the iTunes Store that is already encoded in an Apple-ready format is going to be difficult, and much of this content will therefore need to be converted.
Apple's likely reason for these particular choices of codec is that they are an open, established standard, and they both provide a very high level of video and audio quality for a given file size. MPEG-4 has historically been very good in this regard to begin with, and the H.264 codec has only improved on the quality and file size efficiency.
Content on the iTunes Store uses the H.264 codec exclusively. Content you encode yourself can be encoded into either H.264 or MPEG-4, although H.264 will generally provide better quality for a given file-size, it also takes longer to encode.
Resolution and Bit-rate of iPad Video Format
Two other important considerations with video playback and the quality of the resulting file are the resolution and the bit-rate. The resolution simply refers to the dimension of the screen image, in terms of the number of pixels wide by the number of pixels high (ie, "640×480") while the bit-rate refers to the amount of data that is actually encoded to make up a single second of video playback, normally expressed in either kilobits per second or megabits per second. This is the same concept as bit-rates for audio formats such as AAC and MP3.
Naturally, the higher that both of these numbers are, the better the quality of the resulting image will be. These factors both work together, however, since the resolution simply specifies the number of pixels available in a specific frame, and the bit-rate specifies how much actual information is being used to generate those pixels.
How it directly affects the concept of bit-rates, therefore, has not to do with how much data is actually being encoded for each frame, but how much data is available to record the differences in frames. A high-resolution video with a low bit-rate will produce a more blurry image as well as visible signs of "artifacting" (distortion, blocking effects and jagged edges) on high-motion action sequences.
So what resolution and bit-rate should you use to encode your video content? Logic would suggest that one should always use the highest settings possible, but much of this has to do with what your source content is, and the limitations of the equipment you'll be using to watch it. if your original source video is already at a smaller resolution, there is absolutely no point in encoding it in any higher resolution or bit-rate, as you're not going to magically gain any resolution that wasn't there in the first place. In our experience, consumer-grade conversion tools that promise "upconversion" of video formats are generally not worth the effort.
Bit-rate and File Size of iPad Video Format
Another important consideration when encoding videos is the size of the resulting file. This will correspond directly to the bit-rate of the file rather than the resolution (although higher resolutions require higher bit-rates), and while the H.264 and MPEG-4 codecs do a very efficient job of producing high-quality video at lower bit-rates, you're still going to ultimately be constrained by how much space you have available on your particular device and how much content you want to be able to store.
If storage space is of primary concern, encoding at lower bit-rates will naturally save some space, but this will come at the cost of video quality. Any bit-rate less than 1 mbps for 640×480 content will generally be too low to produce reasonably viewable TV output.
Aspect Ratios of iPad Video Format
Another very important consideration when trying to decide on the optimal iPad video format in which to encode your content is the aspect ratio of the original source content.
Aspect ratio simply refers to the ratio of the width of the image to the height of the image as shown on screen. There are three common aspect ratios in use for commercial video content today:
4:3 used for almost all standard-definition TV broadcast content.
16:9 used for almost all high-definition TV content (HDTV) and many theatrical DVD releases.
Recommended Tools to Render Video/DVD to an iPad-ready Video Format
So, armed with all of this information, what are the recommended tools that should be used for encoding video and DVD to iPad video format? Well, we've reviewed some of the more popular conversion tools that are available for encoding video content onto the iPad from various sources and covering some tips on ways to optimize video conversion using these best DVD to iPad Converters and best iPad Video Converters.
Ultimately, the ideal resolution will be determined by the source material in question, the desired output quality, available storage space, and of course the devices on which you'll be watching the content. However, a brief summary of the recommended maximum resolutions for compatibility with the various devices is shown in the following table:
While perhaps not the most inexpensive method, the easiest way to get video content that is playable on the iPad is still to purchase it from the iTunes Store. However, this is not always practical for all users, and certainly not even available to many iPad users outside of the U.S. As a result, the only practical way for many to get video content in an Apple-ready format and build a library is to convert your own content.
Unfortunately, video conversion can be a time-consuming task, so it is important to have a good understanding of the various issues before spending many dozens of hours converting video only to discover that it is not in the most optimal format. Further, due to the time required, it is a good idea to try and create a video collection that takes into account the platforms and devices that you may want to use in the future.

Carder Invited To NFL Combine
Jan. 7, 2012
FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU linebacker Tank Carder has been invited to the 2012 National Football League Combine Feb. 22-28 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The last four starting linebackers to leave TCU all made NFL rosters (David Hawthorne, Robert Henson, Jason Phillips, Daryl Washington). Hawthorne and Washington led the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, respectively, in tackles this season. Phillips is still active as well, playing for the Carolina Panthers in 2011.
A two-time All-America selection, Carder was also the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year the last two seasons. He was the 2011 Rose Bowl Defensive Most Valuable Player after TCU's 21-19 victory over Wisconsin. He broke up the Badgers' potential game-tying 2-point pass with exactly two minutes to play while recording six tackles in the contest, including three for loss with a sack.
Carder tied for second on TCU with 70 tackles, including 4 1/2 for loss, this season. He returned both his picks for touchdowns and is TCU's career leader with three interception returns for touchdowns.
Carder's 228 career stops were the most by a Horned Frog since Phillips (315) and Henson (272) concluded their TCU careers in 2008.
TCU went 47-5 in Carder's four seasons while leading the nation in total defense three times.
As the Horned Frogs' head coach, Gary Patterson has had 29 players drafted with a total of 60 in NFL camps.

Russia accuses US of arming Syria rebels
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the United States today of supplying weapons to Syria's rebels.
Lavrov's accusation followed a charge by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that she had information Russia was sending to Syria "attack helicopters ... which will escalate the conflict quite dramatically."
Lavrov told a news conference during a brief visit to Iran that Russia was supplying "anti-air defence systems" to Damascus in a deal that "in no way violates international laws."
"That contrasts with what the United States is doing with the opposition, which is providing arms to the Syrian opposition which are being used against the Syrian government," he said, in remarks translated from Russian into Farsi by an official interpreter.
It was the first time Moscow has directly pointed the finger at Washington. Previously, it had said unidentified "foreign powers" were arming the opposition.
Asked in Tehran about the helicopter allegation, Lavrov said only that Moscow was giving Damascus "conventional weapons" related to air defence and asserted that the deal complied with international law.
"We do not supply to Syria or anywhere else things that are used to fight peaceful civilians," he said.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said last month that Moscow believed "it would be wrong to leave the Syrian government without the means for self-defence."
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said at the same news conference with Lavrov that Tehran and Moscow were "very close" on the Syrian issue.
Western and Arab nations, he said, "are sending weapons to Syria and forces to Syria, and are not allowing the reforms promised by the Syrian president to be applied."
Reports in Iran allege that Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United States are arming Syria's rebels -- termed "terrorists" by Damascus -- while US officials claim Iran is giving arms and military advisors to Syria's regime.
Some observers fear the conflict, which the UN's chief peacekeeper agrees said is a civil war, could blow up into a struggle between forces helped by outside nations.
"There is a real risk of it sliding into a proxy war as certain states support the regime or 'the opposition'," one Western diplomat told AFP, speaking on condition on anonymity.
"The conflict in Syria certainly appears to be getting more brutal -- and not just on one side," the diplomat warned.
Monitors say more than 14,100 people have been killed in the 15-month uprising against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Russia came under fierce criticism from Western and Arab countries for vetoing two UN Security Council resolutions that would have sanctioned Assad for his use of force.
Since then, it has sought to distance itself from Assad while continuing to support his regime. "We do not support any individual or government, we support the people of Syria," Lavrov said.
Moscow is now trying to organise an international conference on Syria that would include several nations with influence over the conflict, including Iran. The United States, Britain and France, though, object to Iran taking part.
"We want the support of all the players," Lavrov said.
"All sides in the conflict need to stop operations ... Any player with leverage should apply pressure to stop the violence and facilitate negotiations," he said.

Surgeon General: Skin cancer rates spike after generation of sunbathing, tanning beds
Published July 30th, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - Stop sunbathing and using indoor tanning beds, the acting U.S. surgeon general warned in a report released Tuesday that cites an alarming 200 percent jump in deadly melanoma cases since 1973.
The report blames a generation of sun worshipping for the $8 billion spent to treat all forms of skin cancer each year.
Rear Adm. Boris Lushniak said state and local officials need to do more to help people cover up, such as providing more shade at parks and sporting events. Schools should encourage kids to wear hats and sunscreen and schedule outdoor activities when the sun is low in the sky. And colleges and universities should eliminate indoor tanning beds on campus much as they would prohibit tobacco use, he added.
"We need more states and institutions on board with these policies that discourage or restrict indoor tanning by our youth," Lushniak said. "Tanned skin is damaged skin."
The surgeon general's "call to action" plan is part of a broader push this year by government officials and public health advocates to raise awareness on what they say has become a major public health problem. While other cancers such as lung cancer are decreasing, skin cancer is rising rapidly. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 5 million people are treated for skin cancer each year. And the number of Americans with skin cancer in the past three decades eclipse the number of all other cancers combined.

It is possible to handle this particular example using $PreRead,
and although the given specification of the problem is incomplete,
it may be possible to do the entire problem this way.
In[10]:= $PreRead = (StringReplace[#, "+/-" -> "~Uncertainty~"] &) ;
In[11]:= 2 +/- 3
Out[11]= Uncertainty[2, 3]
As can be inferred from the appendix of the Mathematica Book (under Special
Input Forms, appendix A.2.3, page 716), this will effectively introduce
an infix operator +/- which is left-associative
In[13]:= x +/- y +/- z
Out[13]= Uncertainty[Uncertainty[x, y], z]
and which has a precedence between that of ++ and +
In[14]:= a ++ +/- b + c
Out[14]= c + Uncertainty[a++, b]
There are lots of other things to try between this and writing your
own parser, and even the latter it isn't an insurmountable task. The
aforementioned appendix gives nearly all of the Mathematica-specific
information (tokens, precedence, and associativity) needed to build
a parser.
Parsing and lexical analysis is being restructured a bit for
Version 2.3 in a way that will make this sort of thing even easier.

It's easy to see PediSedate as a disturbing symbol of everything wrong with our culture today blah blah blah. The idea does sound like something out of Aldous Huxley by way of Attack of the Show: a headset that delivers sedatives to kids while said kids are engaged in playing hand-held video games. And the device itself looks a little unsettling. But as a parent who has seen how freaked out my daughter got when she had to be sedated for oral surgery, I think it's actually a great idea. One thing, though: their marketing material only talks about how it's compatible with the Game Boy. The manufacturers should name-drop the Nintendo DS if they really want to reach the kids of today. Or at least the kids in my house.
What's your impression of PediSedate: sign of the digital apocalypse or innovative way to make medical procedures a little easier on kids? And do you wish they came in adult sizes?
A little disturbing but a practical and less traumatic solution to a medical necessity. Would be good for administering breathing treatments as well. That duck-billed oxygen mask isn't fooling anyone.
My first reaction was "You've got to be *expletive*ing kidding me?!" when I thought there was a Woot to buy this rig. But, then I realized it was justa discussion about it, and I climbed down off the ledge...
I agree with the previous poster; used for a medical purpose to ease a child into a relaxed state prior to a major surgeory or large dental procedure, I think it's a great idea.
When these are for sale to the general public though, that's when the 'pockie-clypse is upon us
I'm so glad that this device "allows the procedure to be performed by less skilled personnel!"
I'm assuming that the only thing being plugged into the game boy are the headphones. So what's with the Game Boy Color? Perhaps they spent all their money on the rig and only had the budget for an 11 year old handheld :P
Scratch that... this thing got press back in '02. Hooray current events!
Fun Fact: Interestingly enough, the Game Boy Color was released almost exactly 11 years ago on Nov 19, 1998 in North America
I've taken to listening to songs on my iPhone with earbuds during dental visits. It's pretty pleasant, though you do have to listen for "spit" requests.
If they've given up on the "this looks terrifying" approach (which they clearly have), they should go a step further and use the MyVu monitor-glasses so you're not having to hold this thing up in front of your face. Seems like that won't go well with the whole 'falling asleep' part.
I wonder if they actually sedated that girl in the photo for marketing purposes.
Where can I get one? I'm waiting to see it on a Woot-Off!
I'll take two, please! Does this come with tanks or do I just go the the local racing shop?
Seriously, I have seen similar devices used in pediatric dentistry and they really help the kids get through what could be a traumatic experience.
dave bug wrote:I've taken to listening to songs on my iPhone with earbuds during dental visits. It's pretty pleasant, though you do have to listen for "spit" requests.
They still have dentists with those little swirly-sinks? My dentist just has a cute dental assistant who sucks the spit from your mouth (alas, using a little wet-dry vac thinger).
I think a Gameboy Color can put anyone to sleep without anesthetics.
I think this is great. Having a background as a terrified of needles and doctors kid bring it on. I also have worked in a variety of Drs & Dental offices. Many adults bring in CD Players now MP3 players to be distracted by music. Also Dentist have put in TV to relax patients. This is a better solution that having to give nitrous(ok, maybe not as much fun)to a child. Think of any outpatient procedure you might have, what do you want to concentrate on? For many distraction is good. Of course Hypnosis is an option, but do you really want to wake up as a chicken?
Why keep this only for kids at the dentist's office? I have a well-earned fear of dentists, and I'd LOVE something like this. No joke.
A friend was just telling me today that if her daughter (10 yrs) gets another cavity she is going to have the dentist use Novocaine rather than having her sedated. Tooth brushing is a major battle with her daughter. The Mom feels like her daughter is detached from what is happening to her teeth/in the dentists office because she just goes in...gets sedated...and wakes up with it all done.
I would think that it would be preferable to avoid sedating your child whenever possible (doesn't it kill brain cells).
With that said, I think that the video game connection is great. The calmer that the child is, the safer that they will be. It's just a bit unnerving to have such a clear reminder of how video games are designed to capture and hold our kids attention.
Set these kids up to watch repeats of Manimal, or anything with Claude Akin in it. Comparatively speaking, the pain of a root canal will be unnoticeable.
Man, I wish they had this when I was a kid.
Well, I didn't know what to think about it until I read on the product web site that the snorkel "allows the procedure to be performed by less skilled personnel."
Now that's progress.

Confirmed! M5 Front Sway Bar fits 535xi
Confirmed!! The M5 front sway bar is a direct fit for my 2013 535xi!!
All I have to say is wow and everyone must do this. This is how the car should have came stock. My car has DDC and ACS springs and I am in sport mode 99.9% of the time. Before the M5 sway bar I would rate the handling of my F10 a 4 or 5 out of 10 at best compared to my previous E46 and E90 on coilovers but now its a solid 7.
The suspension just feels tighter and more solid up front and you notice this when going over bumps and uneven roads. The car is flatter during turns and the steering feels alittle more direct/precise during high speed lane changes. Before I would anticipate the roll/sway movement but now the car just points to where you want it. It isn't a track car by any means but that wallowing feeling is pretty much gone or barely noticeable anymore. Nothing negative about doing this mod at all so far. Very pleased.
Another member already verified it also fits his 550i so it is safe to say this works on all F10's regardless if its rwd or awd.
