Nuveen On Munis: Rate Rises Appear Overdone
Nuveen Asset Management takes a look at the municipal bond market in the aftermath of last month's big bond sell-off and concludes that things went a bit too far, saying the muni market merely got swept up in all the fears about the Fed accelerating the end to quantitative easing:
Treasury bond yields rose through May 24, but have stabilized and remain at approximately the same level today. Municipal bond investors seemingly ignored the Treasury market moves initially, then suddenly became concerned and sold off to a greater degree. High quality 10-year municipal yields are currently 110% of Treasury yields. This is uncommon without a liquidity or credit event....
Market participants have been surprised by how quickly rates rose, and wonder if rates will continue to increase over the balance of the year. We believe rates will inevitably rise as economic growth improves, but the recent rate increases appear overdone and are based on a false concern that Fed tapering equals tightening.
The $2 billion Nuveen Municipal Value (NUV) closed-end fund is down 3 cents Tuesday to $9.62, down 6.4% over the past month and 7.03% since May 2, the unofficial start of the May bond sell-off. It currently trades at a 3.48% discount to net asset value.

Reiki is a gentle, ancient "hands on" healing method and spiritual practice that originated in Japan. It is a simple, effective, non-invasive and powerful form of energy healing. Reiki is completely holistic and is not associated with any religious beliefs. Reiki restores harmony to our physical, emotional and mental states, improving our health, well being and emotional stability.
It was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s. Reiki, which means "Universal Energy," comes from "rei" (universe) and "ki" (Japanese) the life force energy around us. This universal energy is ever present, surrounding everything. The words "chi" (in China) and "prana" (in India) also refer to energy.Eastern medicine has always recognized and understood the powerful connection between energy and its flow and its vital-ness to our well being. More recently, reiki has been more widely accepted and practiced in The U.S., Canada and Europe.
Reiki is performed by trained practitioners / healers who place their hands (very light touch) on or over a person or animal with the intent of channeling the powerful healing energy from the universe. This energy is channeled to the recipient, bringing about a positive and powerful healing and the release of pent up negative emotions and fears. Crystals have their own powerful energies (vibrations) from having grown in the Earth for millions of years. Together, these two metaphysical instruments create a powerhouse of healing, which explains why crystals are often used in conjunction with reiki.When used in reiki, crystals amplify the energies that the practitioner is channeling to the recipient. They also help the practitioner to better focus on where to send these energies. The crystals actually act as additional hands. Crystals also add a celestial and heavenly element when used in reiki treatments.
Many reiki practitioners are familiar with the healing power of crystals and enjoy working with their favorite crystals. These crystals may be ones they resonate well with or those that have energies that compliment theirs. Often, that is the same thing. Some reiki practitioners instinctively know which crystal(s) to use and where to place them. They call on their intuition to hone in on our imbalances and / or blockages.Depending on the chakra(s) that need work, the appropriate stone(s) will be placed over the area to work its magic.Reiki enhances everything including our intuition and crystals can enhance our reiki treatment. Many reiki practitioners incorporate crystals and gemstones in their reiki healing and most likely know intuitively which crystals to use. Some benefits of reiki: increases energy levels, detoxifies our system, releases suppressed feelings, speeds up the healing process and eases neck, back, shoulder and leg pain
Both reiki and crystals are energy filled metaphysical instruments. Their powerful healing energies are used in various healing applications. As a result, crystals work well in conjunction with reiki and can actually enhance our reiki treatment. In receiving reiki, the recipient can either be sitting up or lying down. When crystals and gemstones are used in a reiki session, it is best that the receiver be laying down so that the crystals can be placed on their respective chakras and wherever else they may be needed.
Blockages within any of our chakras (the energy centers) can cause all kinds of illnesses. Crystals can strengthen, align, balance, clear and help release toxins from our chakras. Our 7 major chakras have corresponding crystals associated with them. For more information on crystals and chakras, please visit our crystals and chakras page at: http://www.crystalsandgemstones.com/knowledgelearning-center/crystals-and-chakras/
Crystals and gemstones have other applications in reiki other than the placing of them directly on the recipient. Crystals can also help protect the healers from absorbing "not so desirable" debris from those they are working on. Stones good for protection are Amber, Clear Quartz, Fluorite, Garnet, Malachite, Opal, Pyrite, Ruby and Rutilated Quartz.
Crystals and gemstones can be used to prepare the reiki healing room by removing existing negative energies from the room. Crystals which are good for clearing negative energies are smokey quartz, clear quartz, black onyx, hematite and obsidian
Another stone that works well in conjunction with reiki is pink mangano calcite aka pink magnesium calcite. It has been referred to as the "Reiki Stone".
Its gentle and powerful energies and amplification properties are an excellent complement to many kinds of energy healing modalities such as Reiki and Seichim.
Pink mangano calcite calms and heals our heart chakra. This pretty pink mineral fills our heart with universal and self-love, healing our inner child pains. It fills us with a sense of motherly love which help ease our past abuses. Mangano calcite offers hope for the best in all things.

President Obama is scheduled to leave Washington for his end-of-the-year vacation in Hawaii on Dec. 17, a week from Saturday.
Few people expect he will stick to that date.
Obama and his aides have made it clear he will stay in Washington until Congress passes an extension of the payroll tax cut, through Christmas if necessary.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Obama told him as much during a recent conversation.
"He said, 'Michelle and the girls are going to have a great time in Hawaii,'" Reid said. "'They don't need me there.'"
Republicans balk at the extension without offsetting budget cuts, so few officials expect the issue to be resolved by Dec. 17.
President Barack Obama will delay his Hawaii vacation if needed as Congress dukes it out over extending the payroll tax holiday, the top Senate Democrat said Wednesday.
That conversation came during a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other Senate Democratic leaders and Obama in the Oval Office earlier Wednesday.
"I'll paraphrase it, but I'm pretty close," Reid said. "He said, 'Michelle and the girls are going to have a great time in Hawaii. They don't need me there.'"
White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett seemed to confirm Reid's comments in an interview not long after.
"He is intending to stay right here in Washington," Jarrett said on MSNBC. "He intends to hold Congress accountable. Leader Reid made the same commitment."
Of course, congressional leaders often threaten Christmas vacation this time of year, and presidents often vow to stay behind and finish work when there's pending business on Capitol Hill. But somehow, Congress always tends to get out of town when the holidays approach.
Republicans, including GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, had already pounced on Obama's vacation in Hawaii, which is scheduled to begin Dec. 17.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) added that Obama would push the House to come back into session if they adjourned without the payroll tax cut extension.
"What the president made clear was … that the House would leave at its peril, its political peril, and they will face the embarrassment of trying to explain why they're taking the holiday off while working families across America are going to see their taxes increase," Durbin told reporters afterward.
The top Senate Democrats kept up the political gamesmanship over keeping the expiring payroll tax holiday, insisting that Congress stay in Washington until they agree to extend the temporary 2 percent tax cut that is scheduled to end after this year.
"Don't go home Speaker [John] Boehner, because we're going to be here," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "And you'll be embarrassed before the American people if you do."
"We are not going to go home until we finish this," Reid said. "Is it going to be embarrassing to Republicans? Humiliate them? Probably, as it should be."

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain
I honestly have to say that the size of the turbines on the N54 are very, very well matched for the engine. There is virtually no turbo lag that can spoil your experience on the street and on the track if you have your tuning sorted out.
When I am on the track and I row through the gears, full boost and torque are instantaneous if I romp on the gas pedal and are easily modulated if I go part throttle. Anything above 2500 rpms equates to no turbo lag and almost surgical precision.
The ONLY reason why I would even consider going back to a NA engine is if it is tuned, it has ITBs and an actual mechanical throttle cable.

Exactly, lets talk real world, not silly absolute number magazine tests. I've watched you bash the 335 repeatedly. In the real world, the 328 is a downright snore. I don't care that at the absolute limit it may handle or stop nearly imperceptibly better. I'll tell you one thing that will be quite perceptible however.... my tail lights disappearing into the horizon as you quote magazine numbers trying to make yourself feel better.
In the real world there's nothing like the loaner 328 while my car's getting an oil change to REALLY make me appreciate what the 335 has.

also pretty sure shromegrown is creepy as hell
my .02 on the topic
Went from a 348/356 wheel wrx to a stock s2000. I do miss the power occasionally but the s2k is an all around much more fun and rewarding car to drive, even in stock form.
I think once you get past the power hungry wanna beat the snot out of every car phase, you learn to enjoy more of what a car has to offer and what its full capabilities are. My wrx didn't do anything for me but get me into trouble and it wasn't ridiculously fast either. In the long run, its much more fun for me to drive a slower car on its edge than have to drive a faster car well within its limits.
Just for clarification and my geographical location, most of what I drive are pretty tight knit, twisty backroads 'n such.

Boost makes Nubbin happy.
DWA since 1999
I used to own a stage 2+ s4 a few years ago. The power was intoxicatingly fun, but was also a money pit. Now I own an 04 R32, and IMO, it's waaaay more fun.
Come to think of it, the only turbo car I've ever driven is an 03 Passat 1.8T. Not exactly fast by any means but it was fun for a station wagon. I really dig the 16v cammed 2.0 I am driving behind now in the mk2 Jetta. I like that I can floor it from a standing start and all hell DOESNT break lose, as it did in my 02 Sentra SE-R. Torque steer in that car was brutal and the torque curve was very flat which was fun at first, but not very useable.
On the 16v there is a short "nothing much happening" phase to get up to about 2.5-3k RPM, but then it starts to take off and the torque just builds, and the building increases as it gets louder, the resonating drone switching over to a higher pitched revving as it nears the red line. Also really fun is just getting up to that 3k point in 2nd or 3rd gear, and just holding it there where it is still pretty quiet, for the right moment and when i push the pedal down getting instant acceleration and revs.
still getting 45mpg city? repost?
signatures are annoying, right?
This had potential to be a good thread but ego's and stupidity got in the way as usual.
There are too many variables involved to place blanket statements on either side of the fence. If you do take sides, chances are you are just either young an inexperienced, or just closed minded.
To the OP, since you asked, I have extensive direct experience with a 335i and an S2000, and I drove the S2000 95% of the time when both were sitting in my driveway.
The 335i is obviously faster in a straight line, but it takes real world experience and more than just a simple thought of " oh I'll take the car with more power every time" attitude that is for simpletons. Drive the cars and you will see that all out power as the determining factor is for dummies. It's silly to think in such simple terms, back away from the internet.
Anyway, there are awesome engines on either side of the fence and one isn't necessarily "better" than the other. I guess with time comes seeing the big picture.
There are awesome and crappy engines on either side of the fence.
It is funny though hearing people clamor on about low end torque all the time, but after driving a Mazdaspeed 3 and a WRX, or a lot of other 4 cylinder turbocharged engines, I actually preferred the F20C in the S2000. Sure a torque surge is great down low, but running out of power at 6,000 is the trade off and it sucks. It's all a tradeoff for the most part.
And lol at the guy who said the S2000 is dog slow. If it is, any car with about 11 - 12 lbs per HP is slow, and cars with this power to weight trap about 100 MPH in the 1/4, which would put 99% of all cars driven on this forum "dog slow"...
ignorance is bliff, carry on.
EDIT: I will add that after a certain point, I don't agree that slower cars are more fun that faster ones all the time, it really depends. After about >16 lbs per HP I don't find the car can accelerate fast enough to keep me entertained.

But the issue gets stickier and OP's question more legit when you compare the S to a similar car w/more HP. I'm an admitted VTEC junkie, and an aspiring S2K owner 'one of these days,' but after driving the 1M (for example) I'm really not sure which one is 'better' or 'more enjoyable on the street.'

I just read through 6 six pages of nonsense hoping for some decent discussion, wait where did I think I was...
Nevertheless... I will say this, in my limited experience, forced induction, particularly turbo cars, have been a blast to drive and relatively cheaper to own/acquire than a high revving, big motor alternative. That being said, if money was no option, I'm pretty sure that I could find a comparable N/A ride that could tickle my fancy. But then, I'd want to turbo it
Power is power... and I'll trade it for downforce any day.
Meh. I went from a big turbo gti that was making 400+whp to a bunch of naturally aspirated bmws.
I prefer the feel of a naturally aspirated engine with big displacement/aggressive gearing/cable controlled throttle.
Prefer NA, all day

And when the big boy do decide to enter the market you will often find that they will diminish quality of service due to their cost cutting strategies. So for the consumer usually shopping local businesses often times delivers better personal service because local shops have a local reputation to uphold - something the big boy national stores don't often worry about.
Local Deals: When it comes to the best local deals it is much more likely you will find it at a small local store than one of the big box stores.

Work details
Spiraling Violence: Boko Haram attacks and security force abuses in Nigeria by Human Rights Watch
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This 98-page report catalogues atrocities for which Boko Haram has claimed responsibility. It also explores the role of Nigeria's security forces, whose own alleged abuses contravene international human rights law and might also constitute crimes against humanity. The violence, which first erupted in 2009, has claimed more than 2,800 lives.
The report, which includes a photo essay, is based on field research in Nigeria between July 2010 and July 2012, and the continuous monitoring of media reports of Boko Haram attacks and statements since 2009. Human Rights Watch researchers interviewed 135 people, including 91 witnesses and victims of Boko Haram violence or security forces abuses, as well as lawyers, civil society leaders, government officials, and senior military and police personnel.

Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
We're bound to lose more this year.
Still, like Billick said, a millions things have to go right just to get in the SB. We don't know who or how many injuries
we will have.
Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
Chances are good as any. We should make the playoffs, but from there it really is a crap shoot.

Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
In theory I like 1/32 = 3.125%
But my mind multiplies it by 2 3.125% X 2 = 6.25% because that is the chances of making the super bowl (2 teams do make it... then its 50%)
It is not just winning it, it is making it back there.... there are examples of teams that won/were there and didn't even make the playoffs the next year.
88 Cincy
90 Broncos
94 Bills
99 Falcons
01 Giants
02 Rams
03 Raiders
04 Panthers
05 Eagles
07 Bears
Thats 20 - 25% of the SuperBowlers not even making the playoffs.
We can add reasons.... every team brings its best A game against the champs..... parity scheduling..... player/brain trust raiding by others.....
Right now my long term hopes are to just make the playoffs and get one win.... then we enjoy the crap-shoot ride like we just came through (percentages? what were the percentages of Flacco's mile high punt to Jacoby?)
6% chance to even make it back there? I have no idea of what a lot of the cards we will even have in our deck to play with will be, other than it will total 53.... but 6% is the number crunch to return.at one point of my life I was exactly Pi years old

Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
I won't put a percentage on it but our odds of repeating are very slim. I do like our chances to make the playoffs again. We are definately built to win next year but not necessarily the superbowl. Our roster is going to change dramatically and there'a a lot of leadership we are losing. That might hurt us come playoff time. Let's hope our other leaders step up (Flacco, Rice, Suggs, Reed if he's still around).
Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
We are losing some significant leadership and who knows how soon the draft picks will be ready to step in...if at all?
I'm not saying we are going into a tail spin and a 2-3 year rebuilding mode...I just think that this may be the year we miss the playoffs while we finish going through our transition.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
Very uphill, but not impossible.
One scenario I could definitely see playing out would be what happened to the 96/97 Packers - win one year, make it and lose the next. I think the challenges from the NFC will be more formidable than the AFC.
Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
The 1 in 32 chance notion is just stupid. That's saying that all teams are equal, and we certainly know they are not.

Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
Hard to say until we see what the roster is going to look like. As it stands now we potentially have holes at LT, DT, MLB, FS. I'm pretty worried about the defense. But with 11 picks in the draft and a savvy FO, I think Ozzie can make enough moves that we should contend for the division again. That's the first goal.

Re: What are our chances of repeating as SB champs?
The teams are more equal than in the pre-cap 90s. That makes repeating very difficult. GB thought they were going
back with Aaron Rogers. That was a great team. Saints thought they were going back with Brees. That was a great
The SB 35 Champs thought they were going back with Ray. That was a great team with one of the best defenses in
history but Jamal went down first week of camp.
A million things have to go right. Parity is what Pete Rozelle always wanted. In the 60s you had GB and Colts
dominating the league. GB was last team to win 3 world titles in a row back in the 60s. Colts were second NFL
team to go to Super bowl.

|ArmA 2 RCon GUI 1.8.0 Beta
|Affected Version:
with the new battleye protection system your ban list is not being filled any more
Updated by weedkiller almost 6 years ago
Could be that like us you have too many bans in ur list, that is caused by battleye and not rcon
Updated by Kochleffel almost 6 years ago
The following header exists only if the server responds with multiple packets due to packet size limitations. The header is present in each of those packets.
0x00 | number of packets for this response | 0-based index of the current packet
An empty 2-byte command packet (without actual command string) has to be sent every 45 seconds (or less)
to keep the connection/login alive, if there are no other command packets being sent.
If there are no command packets coming from the client for more than 45 seconds, it will be removed from BE RCon's
list of authenticated clients and will no longer be able to issue any commands.
this is the fix, lets hope soner want to fix it asap.
Updated by PITN almost 6 years ago
The ban list does not load into the GUI. It still exists on the server and is still running. With the latest changes to BattleEye both the BE RCON and this GUI RCON are broken. BTW, my banlist is very small and I have run it as an administrator in win7.
FYI an updated BE RCON from $able is expected soon.
As for the GUI the following items work or do not work for me:
--Players - works most of the time. Sometimes it is blank even after connecting.
--Bans - Status shows 'Recieved banlist" but does not show any bans from the server even if the are present.
--Info - Does not work. It does not list any info at all. FYI - It worked yesterday.
--Missions - Correctly shows the list.
--Database - Still there but with some errors usually occuring after the initial connection.

I finished this tutorial at about 3am local time and no one is awake to proof-read it. If you find errors, please PM them to me.
Also, I posted this hear to keep it with its companion tutorial on the trailing link swap. If a mod feels they're better placed in the DIY forum, please move them.
I'm writing this tutorial for kind of a strange reason: The install is very, very easy. Frankly, if you can rotate your tires, you can swap your rear of lateral link bushings. The problem is that no one seems to know it. The trailing link and its bushings are an often overlooked part of the suspension. This is especially criminal when you consider how amazingly easy it is to swap both the bushings and the links in comparison to how much the swap helps address one of the biggest problems with daily driving an Impreza (driveline bounce, especially a problem for the DBW cars). This tutorial covers just swapping the rear of trailing link bushings using the Big Sky Bushing Tool (talk to BigSkyWRX to get the tool) as though it were the only thing being done. There's also a companion tutorial to this one describing how to swap the trailing links themselves. If you're doing one, you probably want to combine both installs into one meta-install because they share many of the same steps. When reading these instructions, keep in mind that these steps will only teach you how to swap the bushings using the Big Sky Bushing Tool.
By the way, clicking on any of the images will get you a larger, more detailed, image.
Start the install by jacking up the car and removing the rear wheels. The front wheels can stay on. They can stay on the ground, for that matter. Once you have the wheels off, crawl under the car from the back and look towards where the wheels normally are. You should see something that looks like this:
The lump hanging off the bottom of the knuckle is the rear of trailing link bushing. The trailing link extends from that bushing on the rear forwards to where it bolts to the chassis. We'll be removing the rear bolt to swap the bushings.
OK, now that you know what you're working with, get out from under the car and look into the wheel well just in front of the brake rotor. You'll see two lines bolted to the trailing link. They'll look like this:
We need to detach both of these lines from the trailing link before removing the link. While it's not strictly necessary to do this, you'll have a REALLY bad day if you manage to cut the ABS sensor line during this process. There are two parts to the bracket. If you look at the previous picture, there's a hoop that sticks up on top of the link and a bolt farther up the link. Use a 12mm socket to remove the bolt on top of the link and then crawl back under the car to remove the bolt holding the hoop. Do this on both sides of the car. Since you can't see the second bolt from beside the car, here's a view from underneath, showing the bolt (note that your bracket might look slightly different depending on model year):
Next up is detaching the rear end of the railing link itself. Strangely, the nut is on the outside of the trailing link between the knuckle and the brake rotor. This makes it slightly tricky to find and to loosen. This picture is taken from the rear, showing you the bolt you'll be working on and how it hides behind the rotor:
The best way to remove the nut from this bolt is to use a pair of 6-point combination or box wrenches (NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO USE 12 POINT WRENCHES. If the nut is corroded in place, 12 point wrenches will very likely round off the nut) and a heavy (2.5lbs or greater) plastic dead-blow hammer. A socket and a breaker bar could be used on the head side, but would not fit on the nut side. Place one wrench on the head (inside of the bolt to prevent it from spinning. Place the other wrench on the nut (outside) in a position that allows it to be easily struck with the hammer. Strike the end of the wrench VERY HARD with the dead-blow hammer. This is not a time to be gentle and worry about breaking something. You need to be in full-on "Lothar SMASH!"-mode here. Keep beating on the wrench until you can spin the wrench by hand. After that, use a ratcheting wrench on the head side while holding the nut still to remove the nut. Now remove the bolt from the link. CAUTION: Depending on manufacturing tolerances, this bolt may be under considerable strain. It is possible that the link will spring away from the knuckle and/or that the knuckle will spring away from the link (taking the lateral links and strut with it) when you remove this bolt. Don't have you head in the way!
At this point, you get to experience the wonder that is the Big Sky Bushing Tool. This specially designed tool is a miracle of cleverness. The first thing we need to do with the tool is get it ready to use. Hopefully, the person using the tool before you would have been kind and cleaned it before returning it. However, some people suck. Make sure the tool is clean inside and out and that there's no grit or metal shavings in the threads of the rod. After cleaning the tool, lightly lube the threaded rod with silicone grease.
To get the existing bushings out of the knuckle, the tool must be configured into Removal Mode. I'm going to give both a verbal description of how to do it, and provide 3 pictures of it (an overview and 2 close-ups). You may want to print out the full-sized version of at least the Overview of both Removal and Installation so you can look at them while you're under the car.
Overview of Removal Mode:
Detail 1:
Detail 2:
First, spin one nut about 3" down the shorter piece of threaded rod. Now slide a ratcheting pass-through wrench (such as a Gear Wrench Vortex wrenches) down over the rod and onto the nut you just spun down the rod. Spin another nut about 1/2" down the rod, effectively trapping the wrench on the rod. Slip a washer down the rod to sit on the nut you just added. Add a 3rd nut to the end of the rod, sandwiching the washer between 2 nuts. TIGHTEN THE HECK OUT OF THE TWO NUTS SANDWICHING THE WASHER. Basically, you're trying to lock the two nuts against each other with the washer in the middle so neither nut can spin.
Now flip the rod over so you can add things to the other end. Place the Bearing Spacer on the rod and let it slide all the way down to the nut and wrench. Place the End Cap Bearing washer onto the rod with the smaller flat side facing the Bearing Spacer. Slide the Bearing Washer down onto the Bearing Spacer. Place the End Cap onto the rod with the flat side facing the Bearing Washer and slide it down. Finally, place the large Tapered Tube with the smaller end facing the End Cap onto the rod. The assembled Tool should look like Detail 1 at this point. You're ready to go to the car!
Crawl under the car and locate the hole through the center of the existing bushing. Slide the end of the threaded rod through the bushing so that the large, open end of the Tapered Tube comes to rest against the knuckle. Place the Plunger onto the end of the threaded rod where it comes out the other side of the bushing making sure that the indented side of the Plunger faces the bushing. Thread a nut onto the rod on the other side of the Plunger and twist it down until the rod just pokes out of the nut. The Tool should now look like Detail 3.
On the inboard side of the tool, spin the nut that's inside the ratcheting wrench down until it's finger tight against the Bearing Spacer. Place a combination or box wrench onto the very inboard-most nut so it sets up against the washer. At this point, the tool should start to stand out from the knuckle on it's own and look like this:
Get all of the parts of the Tool lined up so they stack into a nice cylinder and tighten the ratcheting wrench just enough so that the Tool doesn't try to sag out of shape. If you try to keep tightening past this point, the threaded rod will just start spinning along with the ratcheting wrench. To prevent this, hold the wrench on the end to prevent the rod from spinning. By pulling the wrench towards the knuckle very slightly you will cause it to cam against the washer, allowing you to prevent it from falling off the nut without having to pay any attention to it.
Now tighten the ratcheting wrench.
A lot.
A whole lot.
Long past the point where the small muscles in your shoulders are begging for mercy.
Tighten it until the tool falls off the knuckle.
Congratulations, you've just removed the bushing. Now hurry up and go do it on the other side.

By Brian Spencer
Last week each of the NBA Writers of the Roundtable named their pick(s) for this season's early fantasy surprises, with Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol taking the honors for most mentions. As hosts of this edition, ETB posed the following question to our esteemed colleagues:
Upon their return to the hardwood, who will have the most positive impact for fantasy teams this season: Allen Iverson or Tracy McGrady?
Joining Me at the Fantasy Hoops Roundtable:
– Tommy Beer, HoopsWorld
– Ryan Lester, Lester's Legends
– Alex Woods, BleacherCreatureRotoTalk
– Erik Ong, Points in the Paint
ETB's Pick:
Neither player carries much interest for us, and as it stands right now, neither seems capable of sustaining whatever impact they have in the first few weeks of their return. Iverson clearly has more potential to contribute since he'll step right into the starting lineup on Monday; meanwhile, McGrady's role with the Rockets remains in limbo, and there's still no definitive timetable for his return. He seems just as likely to be traded at the deadline (expiring contract) as he does to suit up again for Houston.
At their best, both of these former All-Stars are multi-category fantasy contributors: Iverson can boost your PTS, FTM, ASTS, and STLS, while McGrady can basically do it all. The keyword in both cases is "can", since neither has exactly been at the top of their game for some time now. And while some experts are drooling over Iverson's return to Philly (Rotoworld, for example, today said that AI "absolutely should not be left on any fantasy waiver wires right now"), it's important to have some perspective on what your team's strengths are and which categories you're trying to win on a week-to-week basis.
Iverson is probably going to score points in bunches, at least until Lou Williams is back, but in all likelihood he's also going to kill your FG%, FT%, and TOs (and on a related note, he could very well hurt Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young, and Elton Brand's numbers). McGrady suffers from similar ineffiency, so before you go gaga over either player, take a step back and consider the positives and negatives.
Tommy Beer, HoopsWorld
If I had complete freedom of choice, I personally prefer to avoid both players. Both Iverson and McGrady have huge questions marks and red flags attached to their names, and I'd easily let someone else deal with the headaches.
But if I had to choose between the two, I'd go with McGrady. I am definitely not a big T-Mac fan, but it sounds like McGrady is slowly but surely working his way back into playing shape. And once he is back on the floor and ready to roll, no one has ever doubted his ability to put up points. And the Rockets need all the scoring they can get with Yao out. And if Houston chooses to trade him, even better. As long as he gets playing time, he'll be out to prove that he is worthy of a decent contract next summer. That is the best motivator.
My problem with Iverson is I question whether or not he will ever suit up again. If AI isn't offered a contract by Philadelphia, then it really may be curtains on Iverson's legendary career. Consider the unique circumstances: Lou Williams is now sidelined up to two months with a fractured jaw. As a result, Philly is forced into starting 19-year-old Jrue Holiday, a rookie who played mostly shooting guard as a freshman at UCLA last year.
And besides filling the obvious desire for an established scoring PG on the floor, Iverson would also contribute immensely to the Sixers other glaring need: a box office draw. The Sixers are desperate on multiple fronts – they need a veteran PG and they need to sell tickets. If Philly doesn't want him now, who will sign him? And when? Lastly, AI hasn't even played that well when he has been on the court. He averaged 17.5 points per game in 2008-2009 and just 12.3 PPG in limited action with the Grizz last month. I'll pass…
The McGrady vs. Iverson debate continues after the break…
Ryan Lester, Lester's Legends
To be honest, neither option attracts me as they both come with so much baggage. Allen Iverson is having a hell of a time accepting that his best days have passed him by. He can still score, but he's a shell of his former self. His assists and steals have also went down the past few years.
Tracy McGrady can still produce if his knee will allow him to. With Yao Ming out for the year, McGrady will take it upon himself to carry the load. Unfortunately, that may not be the best thing for the Rockets now. Aaron Brooks, Luis Scola, Trevor Ariza, and Carl Landry have established themselves as good young stars. If McGrady comes in shooting 15+ shots per game, he would disrupt their flow.
I reluctantly take McGrady in this debate. He should score at a similar clip as Iverson, but will likely have more assists and rebounds. He does shoot poorly from the floor, so you'll have to be able to be able to absorb that.
Alex Woods, BleacherCreatureRotoTalk
AI WILL put up some numbers in Philadelphia. A healthy AI would be expected to play everyday, and with the injury to Lou Williams he would get a ton of minutes. Just how he would gel with his new teammates remains to be seen, but we would expect the Al we all know to reappear in the City of Brotherly Love–that being the tough little dude that throws up tons of shots and now in his more mature state also dishes the rock. You could argue that he could step in and be the team's number one scoring option from the start.
McGrady is suffering from a bum knee and a bum back; his return could be weeks away. If and when T-Mac returns we do not see him doing much of anything. In fact, last year a less-than-100% McGrady attempted to make a comeback in what turned out to be a nightmare situation for fantasy basketball owners. It was decided that he would not play back-to-back games and would be routinely rested, thus making him unusable in head-to-head leagues. Moreover, at least from what we saw last year, McGrady's knee and back injuries had sapped him of all his explosiveness. While he did have his spurts, the Rockets now have a number of scorers, including the athletic Trevor Ariza. We don't see much coming from McGrady this year and see him as having significantly less upside than Iverson.
So, to answer the question – Iverson will have a bigger fantasy basketball impact this season. Given the injury to Lou Williams and the Sixers offensive issues AI should put up decent numbers. As for McGrady, BleacherCreatureRotoTalk seriously doubts his comeback ability. It appears the injuries have taken there toll on the once elite T-Mac.
Erik Ong, Points in the Paint and Give Me The Rock
Overall, they're both old and over the hill, but still probably have a bit left in their respective tanks to chip in some decent numbers.
A big factor to consider in answering the question is addressing where they will be playing. Based on that, I will have to make certain assumptions. For now, let's assume that Tracy will start his fantasy season for his owners in the Houston Rockets, a team that appears to not want nor need his contributions. Iverson, on the other hand, looks like he'll be signed by a team that desperately needs a PG/SG to start for them. At this point, that team looks like the Philadelphia 76ers. They Sixers appear to need a PG, on the surface, but in the end Andre Iguodala, Will Green, and Jrue Holiday can all keep the ship afloat while waiting on Louis Williams to return from injury.
I project less conflict with A.I. sliding into a starter's job in Philly than T-Mac playing alongside Trevor Ariza. I will have to give this one to Iverson temporarily, at least until T-Mac's contract is offloaded to another team… but then again that would be another story altogether.
T-Mac really wants to play basketball, but there are fears that he will come back too soon and re-injure his body. Allen Iverson just really wants to start, and is not coming back from any serious injuries. McGrady's spirit may be willing, but his flesh is historically weak. Iverson came off a lesser injury, but it's his team spirit (or lack thereof) that should be in question. Tracy and his battle-weary body, for all its worth, will be able to give your fantasy team more AST, 3PTM, and STL. Iverson will end up giving you more PTS, FT%, and *GP* (games played).
Basketball is a team sport and Tracy McGrady is and has always been the better "team player": that is what will be the deal breaker for Iverson and his bloated ego. Thinking more about the TEAM and less about whether or not you will frickin' start or not is what will end up defining who can keep more minutes on the floor. So, I would have to say Tracy McGrady will have the more positive fantasy impact because there is no "I"(verson) in "team."

All of the largest credit card issuers offer a cash-back card, and the competitive stakes are high as they attempt to attract and retain cash-focused consumers. But how do the cards compare when it comes to actual customer usage of the cards? Based on data from Lightspeed Research's proprietary Behavioral Tracking Panel, this session will examine key metrics across each of the major cash back credit cards, including Discover More, Chase Freedom, American Express Blue Cash, and others. Which cards produce the most spend? The highest balances? The most likely to be top-of-wallet? The most likely to be used at gas stations, grocery stores, and other merchant categories? And, finally, how do consumer demographics compare from one card to the next? This session will answer all of these questions and more.

Re: How to define and plot a periodic signal?
Surely you know how to define a function of some sort, e.g.:
f[x_] := x^2
And how to plot a function, e.g.:
Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 8}]
So I assume the only difficulty you're having is to define the
particular triangular function.
My suggestion is to first define it for one period; to do that, you
could use Piecewise (if you're using a recent enough version of
Mathematica) or else synthesize the function using UnitStep (in exactly
the same way one does that via formulas by hand). Then extend it using
periodicity. For example:
f[x_] := Piecewise[ { { x, 0 <= x <= 1}, { 2 - x, 1 <= x <= 2}}]
f[ x_ /; x > 2] := f[ x - 2]
f[ x_ /; x < 0] := f[ x + 2]

Yahoo.com is featuring an article asking if Hulk Hogan is the world's creepiest dad. Here is an excerpt from the article…
"For reasons only known to Hulk Hogan, the wrestler Tweeted a photo of his daughter Brooke's bare legs while she was sitting crossed-legged in a chair with the caption, "Brooke's legs" on Monday. Hogan posted the image on the photo-sharing website Lockerz.com, then apparently took it down but not before the image could be screen-grabbed and shared."
You can check out the full article here.
God i hate the media, always taking something as simple as this and using it to make money, just because of his name…
If they were searching for a name to use it sure wouldn't be his. And how is this creepy relationship simple?
He's probably doing it to grab attention. Hogan's no dummy. The attention is good for TNA, good for Brooke, good for himself, and even good for Bully Ray.
But – yeah – it's creepy. It's creepy as h3ll!
Yahoo is the worlds most irrelevant search engine.
and their "news" has less journalistic integrity than entertainment tonight
journalists have integrity?
I hate the media, they will do anything to make money, anything
The media has reached all time TRASH status ever since that ape Obama was elected.
Can we be best friends lol
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

One of the largest online bookmakers was paralysed by hackers as the Cheltenham Festival reached its climax. Dozens of attacks crashed other online betting sites during key races at the festival. It left gamblers unable to place bets and is believed to have cost millions in lost revenue.
The hackers, believed to be part of the Russian underworld, are trying to blackmail targeted sites by demanding up to £10,000 to stop the online sabotage. Experts fear other major sporting
events such as the Chelsea versus Arsenal Champions League match will be targeted.
Today MPs called for an urgent crackdown on e-crime. One security expert added: "This is simply old-fashioned extortion with a modern twist."
Attacks have managed to crash a leading betting site twice in the last 48 hours.
They work by simultaneously accessing the websites millions of times. This overloads servers and causes them
to crash. The company at the centre of the attacks, UKBetting, admitted its service had been disrupted on Wednesday and yesterday, with the site unavailable for several hours on both days.
William Hill also admitted it had been the victim of an attack in the last week.
David Hood, a spokesman for the company, said: "On Thursday there was a 24-hour attack on our site, but it didn't bring us down and we were able to put measures in place, for instance limiting access from some areas of the world."
He added: "We were able to operate at around 50 per cent capacity.
"We didn't receive the extortion demand until after the attack, but we absolutely would not give in, and we've had no more attacks."
Experts believe many large crime syndicates are now recruiting hackers to help them carry out electronic attacks.
Graham Cluley, of computer security firm Sophos, said: "This is just like a normal extortion racket, only this time the stakes are higher due to the vast amounts of money these sites can take."
He added: "If a normal site goes down for 20 minutes, it doesn't always matter that much - but if a betting site goes down for 20 minutes before a big race it can be catastrophic." The recent flood of computer viruses could also be linked to these groups, claimed Mr Cluley.
The spate of sabotage has led to a group of MPs calling for hacking laws to be radically changed.
The parliamentary internet group is preparing a report to outline the changes that need to be made to the Computer Misuse Act, which dates from 1990, before internet use was widespread.
