Wow, what a huge difference Ford's new 5.0-liter V-8 makes in the F-150. I never really liked the old 5.4-liter V-8 because it was slow to rev, sounded a bit old and coarse, and didn't ever feel as good as the rest of the F-150. The 5.0 sounds great, revs very quickly, and completely changes the character of the most popular pickup in America.
I'm disappointed by the 14/19 mpg ratings of the 5.0 when equipped with 4wd, but it does improve upon the 14/18 mpg ratings of the old 5.4-liter. That single mpg improvement should save owners $213 per year according to the EPA's web site (at an average of $3.38 per gallon). As fuel prices climb, even one mpg can make a difference. So, Ford, let's hope for 20+ mpg on the highway with 4wd soon. Chevy manages 15/21 mpg ratings with a 5.3-liter V-8 and 4wd. And the 5.3-liter V-8 in the Silverado is much older than Ford's 5.0.
When you take into account the F-150's new electric power steering system, and the Silverado's old hydraulic power steering, the difference in fuel economy is even more disappointing. While the steering feels very natural, what's the point of having electric power steering without a benefit in fuel economy?
The F-150 Raptor can't use EPS; it needs hydraulic power steering, to handle the increased stress associated with its huge front tires and the desert racing expectations of its owners. The 5.0 lacks provisions for running a hydraulic power steering pump, so it cannot be used in the Raptor.
In summary, the F-150 is a great truck with the 5.0-liter V-8. It's just too bad the best F-150, the Raptor, can't use my favorite F-150 engine.
Phil Floraday, Senior Web Producer
Ford's 5.0-liter V-8 is a brilliant engine, as first demonstrated in the 2011 Mustang and now confirmed with the 2011 F-150. It's so good that it makes me sad-sad that we'll never have a 5.0-liter rear-wheel-drive sedan or an Explorer with this new engine. But I should be grateful for what we have, which is a smooth and lively, powerful yet refined V-8. This is the engine that America's best-selling vehicle deserves.
Along with the new engine, the F-150's road manners are improved with the excellent six-speed automatic transmission that selects gears and shifts with a confidence and smoothness that weren't found in the previous five-speed. The new electric power steering didn't need to be great to do better than the overboosted, lifeless hydraulic setup, but it is. The steering wheel offers natural-feeling assist without being too heavy at low speeds. The only 2011 change that I'm not keen on is the digital readout in the gauge cluster adapted from the Super Duty. It could be a very nice touch if Ford toned down the design for more driver-friendly displays, but as it is I find it extremely distracting.
The F-150 also appears to be a demonstration of how Ford has mastered the product lifecycle. While the F-150 received a major update in 2009, the new engines (there are four of them) and other upgrades are enough to make the 2011 model feel like a new vehicle.
Eric Tingwall, Associate Editor
We've had quite a few performance-tuned (i.e. Raptor) and luxurious (i.e. King Ranch, Harley-Davidson, etc) F-150s come through here in the past, so it was refreshing to drive a more modestly equipped example this time around.
As my colleagues have noted, the big news for 2011 is the powertrain. F-150s receive four new engine offerings (including the EcoBoost twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6), but the addition of the all-new 5.0-liter V-8 is perhaps most welcome. It's powerful, responsive, and a vast improvement on the previous, anemic 5.4-liter.
Apart from the underhood revisions, the majority of the truck is essentially as Ford launched it back in 2009. That isn't a bad thing — the current truck rides and drives rather nicely, and incorporates a number of subtle yet smart design cues (the outer door skins, for instance, almost wrap around the door sills to keep them clear of mud).
One new feature is the new in-cluster display screen. Not only does it provide the typical oil and transmission temperature readouts, but it also allows owners to preset trailer brake controller settings (if so equipped) for a number of different trailers. Neat.
Continual refinements like these improve on an already impressive product.
Evan McCausland, Web Producer
It's too bad for this perfectly nice F-150 that it was overshadowed by the outrageous orange Raptor SVT that (just barely) parked in our garage a week later. Taken on its own merits, this F-150 XLT is pretty damn good.
The 5.0 is all the engine most drivers will ever need, even in big crew cab model like this. The truck is composed on rough rural roads and highways alike, and the cabin is comfortable and well laid out.
Ford seems to have settled down and gotten the F-150's chrome and trim under control after a few awkward years when this current model was introduced. While I prefer the blacked-out grille and bumpers and flared panels of the Raptor, this F-150 is a handsome machine.
Assuming the purchase of a pickup like this is one of utility, I'd opt for the slightly more compact SuperCab over the SuperCrew, and get a larger, 8-foot bed instead.

The SEC might not have won its eighth straight BCS national title, but the league got richer following the 2013 season.
Just before league commissioner Mike Slive left Destin, Florida, and this year's set of SEC spring meetings, he announced that his beloved conference will distribute a record $292.8 million of revenue among its 14 schools. Last year, the league distributed $289.4 million among its 14 schools, which was also a record for the league.
For those of you counting at home, that's roughly $20.9 million that each school will receive from the league office, which is around $200,000 more than they brought in last year.
There's also $16.8 million that will be retained by the 10 schools that made it to bowl games and another $1 million from the NCAA for academic advancement that will be distributed among all 14 schools. So outside of the cool million from the NCAA, the SEC as a whole brought in $309.6 million.
That's a ton of money and it really does put in perspective where the league was back in 1980, when the SEC distributed just $4.1 million to its teams. The conference didn't even make it past the $100 million-mark until 2003 ($101.9 million).
Add the fact that the SEC Network is coming (Aug. 14), and the SEC is due to make even more going forward.

Zora Semberova has a place in the annals of dance as the first Juliet, in 1938, for the vivid theatrical score that Serge Prokofiev wrote to tell the story of Romeo and Juliet.
It was choreographed in Brno, Czechoslovakia, by Ivo Vana Psota, who also danced Romeo.
Semberova, who died five months short of her 100th birthday, recalled that she had such strong ideas about this dramatic role that she insisted on dancing in soft pumps, rather than point shoes, because she wanted to take the movement vocabulary beyond classical ballet: ''People were shocked''.
Prokofiev's music had actually been commissioned for a Soviet production which had been shelved. Eventually, the Kirov Theatre in Leningrad presented what turned out to be the model production in 1940 with Galina Ulanova and Konstantin Sergeyev in the title roles, with choreography by Leonid Lavrovsky.
But Semberova was the first, and was always celebrated for this.
She had been born in Vyskov, Moravia, on March 13, 1913, and brought up in Brno. Her talent was obvious early, and at 17 she went to Paris to study with the former Imperial ballerina Olga Preobrajenska, whose teaching was as respected as her dancing.
Semberova returned regularly to Paris for dance tuition, and also took modern dance classes in Austria.
Happily, although she danced into her 50s, Semberova's career in dance did not end with her time as a performer.
From 1946 to 1968 she was a staff member of the dance department at Prague Conservatorium and pivotal in the development of choreographers Jiri Kylian and Pavel Smok, and the mime Ladislav Fialka.
When turmoil overtook Czechoslovakia in 1968, Semberova's long-distance partner, a German academic, was foundation professor of applied mathematics at Flinders University in Adelaide, so she followed him there with her daughter, Pamela.
Semberova was also appointed to the university to teach movement, and a list of her former students in the National Library of Australia shows what a wide spectrum of talent and skills she covered in her teaching. Her students included theatre director Gale Edwards, film director Scott Hicks, comic performer Greig Pickhaver (H. G. Nelson), performance artist and stage designer Michael Pearce, children's storyteller Kym Larnder, magician Raymond Crowe and actors Noni Hazlehurst and Glynn Nicholas.
Flinders University awarded Semberova with an honorary doctorate of letters in 1979 and the Adelaide Critics Circle presented her with a lifetime achievement award in 2003 - from which she promptly extracted the money part to give to a young dancer with promise.
She also received many awards from Czechoslovakia.
Although Sembrova achieved much as a teacher in Adelaide, and became a beloved figure at home with her dog, Romeo and Juliet followed her to the end of her life. In May 2011, the Australian Ballet took Graeme Murphy's new version of the ballet to Adelaide and Semberova was an honoured guest, still a centre of attraction at the party after midnight.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by onaXR, Jan 18, 2006.
She's the Wipe Out chick too.
Depended on the department, I had a extremely attractive power train engineer (female you silly bastages) ask me how a clutch worked one day
and unfortunately the Mercury chick went the way of the name plate, scrapped....
For discussions sake i'll bite on the sag comment
Setting sag is more or less setting the ride height up for optimum damper movement and control. We performed basically the same procedures on the test vehicles but needed a alignment rack to allow for free suspension movement. First we would unload the vehicle of any added weight (test equipment load boxes ect ect to mimic a show room vehicle) make sure the gas was full and pull the vehicle on the rack. Once the pins were removed from the floating plates we would jounce the vehicle up and down release it and wait for the suspension to settle. The measurement was usually from the outer ball joint or lower bushing to the inner control arm/link joint or bushing, the difference being the ride height. The problem with only measuring spring height is that it does not account for the suspensions "working ratio" as I like to call it, almost everything short of a beam axle with the springs directly in line with the axle tube or Forks on the motorcycles front end will have a suspension ratio. For instance raising the strut perch on a Escape 8mm would yield a 10mm increase in ride height due to the ratio of the control arm, were as putting a 10mm spring shim in a 4wd F350 equals 10mm increase in ride height. Reasons why Sag measurements seem unrepeatable can be to not paying attention to the details like fuel, gear, ect ect. and also not taking in to account the amount of "sticktion" created in the system (linkage, bushings, shock ect ect) by either jouncing the suspension with the rider off or on will create variations, hell holding both of the brakes on will throw the measurement off. The biggest thing is to try and get repeatable measurements before deciding to adjust one way or another. This seems like the best method I have found and might improve your repeatability http://www.triumphnet.com/st/acc/racetech/setup.htm .
Just measuring the Spring may seem more repeatable but it is also much less acurate as your not taking into account the suspension ratio (usually more movement at the wheel end vs the shock)
Yes I was on a stock seat. Well mostly. I cut an inch out and added an inch of that foam you can get as a kneeling pad for gardening. I also made it a little wider. Granted I ended up sitting further forward than the part I made wider so go figure. However I would totally get a different seat if I got that bike, but I'd never get that bike.
Or buns of steel.
The forging company I worked for made the FN-10 steering spindle forging. We made, exact number, 1 million of them.
I am appaled to hear an ex Ford engineer, WITH Q-1 AND QS9000 training, tout a measurement system that has low repeatability.
You must have been cutten SPC classes to hang with Jill.
I agree with the sag measurement method you and the hot babes at Ford used on a car or truck. But on a bike the spring length is best. Regardless of how you do it there is just too much variance between sag measurements to make it a reliable control. In measuring the length of the spring it's easy to get extreamely close measurements to desired. You must of course have some starting range, like Honda gives. And that may be an application for engineers and hot babs at Honda to work out on a test stand.
If more pre load is needed for the extra gear taken on a trip shorten the spring and record the length that worked best. After the trip set back to the original length measurement and your done. This measurement can easely be made to 1/64" accuracy. If for no other reason the spring length method is better because it is faster to accomplish. I wager that sag can not be measured to within 1/2" accuracy.
And that remindes me, does anybody make a external pre-load adjustment device for a Showa shock?
He said Buns.
My mind just will not let me understand all of the suspension jargon no matter how much I read or study it. I just know I put in the recommended heavy springs, the compression dampeners are set to full soft, the rebound on the shock is set to full fast because that's the only way the rear tire will stay hooked to the ground through stutter bumps AND IT SUCKS ASS!!!!! I HATE IT!!!!!!
Clam down. Come back from the cliff edge. It's OK. Just try different settings. The heavy springs can be set on the soft side. Keep notes of changes and how they performed and you will get there. Do you think Red Bull wins all the F1 races with just dumb luck? It takes trial, error, evaluation, and re-trial.
Do you want Jill to help ya?
Now there's an idea. Or I am sure losing about 60lbs wouldn't hurt either.
Can Jill help me too?????
Yeah, there ya go.
Try lite beer?
Just a second, I'll check, I gota find the new speed dial number I made for her.
Hey there, watch it!!! :eek1 I resemble that remark...
Lite beer??? Is that for drinkin two fisted???
SWEET!!! I call Conducter!!! oser
Lite beer - that's the 7% dubbel you have for lunch so you can save the 10 and 11% tripels for the evening. Duvel tripel hop 2012 is heaven in a glass.
I should set either my race sag or spring length one of these days. I guess I don't ride the bike hard enough to know the difference. I adjusted the rebound rear and front until it didn't piss me off, and then went out and enjoyed being on the damn thing.
Question: Why no support for your fellow countrymen at KTM? They are in one of those Grematic countries arn't they?
Seriously, you just are not going to know if your as recieved suspension set is good untill you try a different set up.
You all might have guessed that things are pretty slow here in the Oil Patch with oil at a stinking $85 a barrel. Good for you at the pump, bad for the Houston economy, good for my post count! Good night
Pshh!! who cares about the seat! hell id even consider taking it off. im not gonna be sitting down while haulin ass though the FL sand whoops and trails actually I cant relate to ever being uncomfortable while riding a dirt bike on the street for long periods of time. (long periods of time meaning 100 miles in a day or more) must have something to do with my sweet young 21 year old ass cheeks
That right there is the key! being content and or satisfied with the setup
Its chasing the personal idea of "perfection" that get me in trouble
Simple rule I have found out, unless your either board or not happy with the way something works Don't fuck with it!

Mine Safety and Health Administration
CONTACT: Bennett Gamble
CONTACT: Amy Louviere/Katharine Snyder
Released Friday, April 9, 1999
The Mine Safety and Health Administration has moved one step closer to putting training regulations in place for 120,000 miners at 10,000 surface nonmetal mines across the country.
A proposed rule establishing training requirements for miners at sand and gravel operations, rock quarries and certain other surface nonmetal mines will be published in the Federal Register on Wednesday (April 14).
"Congress directed us to finalize these regulations by Sept. 30, and we are well on our way to meeting that deadline," said J. Davitt McAteer, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health.
Last December and January, MSHA held seven public meetings throughout the country to hear comments from the mining community about the prospective training requirements. More than 220 individuals attended these meetings, including representatives from labor, small and large mine operators, state agencies, mining associations, contractors and trainers.
"The mining community - including the Coalition for Effective Miner Training, representatives from labor unions, small and large mine operators, state agencies, mining associations, contractors and trainers - gave us extensive input in the development of this proposed rule," said McAteer. "Now we are asking for comments on the proposal."
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 requires that each mine operator have a health and safety training program for its miners. However, MSHA appropriations legislation contains language prohibiting use of appropriated funds to enforce miner training requirements in sand, gravel and surface stone operations. The prohibition, which also covers a few other surface nonmetal operations such as clay mines, has been in place since 1980 but is expected to be lifted once MSHA finalizes the training rules.
The proposed rule is designed to ensure that miners receive effective training, while at the same time addressing the particular needs of the affected segments of the mining industry. Some key provisions of the proposed rule include:
- -- Mine operators must adopt miner health and safety training programs at their operations. Plans that include the minimum information specified would not have to be submitted to MSHA for formal review.
-- New miners must receive at least 24 hours of training, with instruction in four specific areas: introduction to the work environment; instruction in recognizing and avoiding hazards; review of escape and emergency plans, and the health and safety aspects of the task assigned.
-- Every 12 months miners must receive at least eight hours of refresher training which, at a minimum, would address major changes at the mine. New task training would also be required for every miner before the miner is assigned to a new task.
-- Training must be provided by someone with the ability, training, knowledge or experience to provide training to miners on a particular subject. Training instructors would not need approval by MSHA.
-- Mine operators would be allowed to substitute equivalent training required by OSHA or other federal or state agencies to satisfy MSHA training requirements.

and Women's Crew season in review
The 2002 Holy Cross men's and women's crew programs also
enjoyed remarkable success this spring. The men's team finished
a tremendously successful season by capturing the New England
Championship title, while the women's team carried the success
even further by taking home the Avaya Crown.
The men's season was highlighted by the program's first
ever New England Rowing Championship. The Crusaders racked
up 24.3 points to bring home their first team trophy in the
42-year history of the meet. The men's championship run was
led by the men's varsity eight team of Colin P. O'Callaghan
'02 (Glencoe, Ill.), Keith A. Reardon '04 (Leominster,
Mass.), Christopher J. Schultz '02 (Schenectady, N.Y.), Conor
M. Devine '05 (Orchard Park, N.Y.), Richard J. Freniere
'02 (Paxton, Mass.), Roger W. Ross '02 (Philadelphia,
Pa.), Stephen D. Ruane '03 (Annandale, N.J.), David
W. Rancourt '04 (Winslow, Maine) and Brendan M. Bedell
'02 (Glenview, Ill.).
The men also won the gold medal in the men's second novice
eight race. Holy Cross then placed third in the second varsity
eight race on its way to 24.3 points. Coast Guard finished
in second place with 18 points. At the beginning of July,
the men's team competed in the Henley Regatta in England.
The women's team was also successful, boasting one of its
best seasons in recent memory. Outstanding regular season
performances boosted the team's confidence heading into the
championship portion of the schedule. The women's varsity
eight crew finished the regular season undefeated. The team
then placed third at the New England Championships losing
to Boston College and Williams. However, the Crusaders quickly
rebounded to capture the gold medal at the Avaya Collegiate
Championships. The performance was the program's first ever
gold medal effort.
The boat was made up of (bow to coxswain) Elizabeth S.
McCawley '04 (Madison, N.J.), Rebecca A. Smith '02 (Torrington,
Conn.), Marie E. Golden '02 (Stamford, Conn.), Maura
A. Droney '05 (West Hartford, Conn.), Catherine
Eberl '03 (Buffalo, N.Y.), Dana L. Betts '03 (Naples,
N.Y.), Angela M. Archambault '02 (Whitinsville,
Mass.), Melissa A. Irving '04 (Westminster, Mass.)
and coxswain Madeline M. Chiampou '02 (Buffalo,
N.Y.). Holy Cross finished with a time of 7:05.57, outlasting
Gonzaga University which finished in second place with
a time of 7:06.08. Ithaca College placed third, while Williams
College finished in fourth place.
Holy Cross ended the year losing to only two boats, Williams
College and Boston College. The team was later able to avenge
its loss to Williams at the Avaya.
Rebecca Smith was named First Team All-New England by the
Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association, while Marie Golden
earned Second Team All-New England accolades. In addition,
Madeline Chiampou earned All-New England Scholar Athlete
honors to help round out the Crusaders' individual accomplishments.
Holy Cross' success this season proved that the Crusaders
are never out of contention for regional and national recognition.
The experience and honors gained by the team this year will
continue Holy Cross' long tradition of excellence in rowing
in future seasons.

Let's PaintLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
"This house needs a face lift," Tess Ross pronounced, and her family (two men, Mitch and Shane, and two women Lana and Penelope) thought the same. A quick paint job on five different rooms was all that was really needed, and the five Rosses eagerly set to work. A different white paint (one was Atrium White) was selected for each room, each of which required a different number of gallons of paint. Each family member painted a room. When, at the end of a weekend of painting, Tess's son announced "Well, Mom, you were right. We were done in no time," her two daughters and her husband quickly agreed. The family then settled in for an enjoyable evening in their newly painted living room. From the information provided, can you determine the person who painted each room, the color of the paint each used, and the number of gallons (1, 2, 3, 4, or 6) that were used for each room?
1. One daughter used the Feather White paint in the room she painted, while the other daughter painted her father's office.

AT&T Wins Capacity Magazine's 'Best Global Wholesale Offering' Award
Dallas, Texas, November 17, 2008
Amsterdam, Netherlands — AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced that AT&T has further solidified its position as a leading provider of wholesale services, receiving Capacity magazine's "Best Global Wholesale Offering" award. The Global Wholesale Awards were announced Monday at the Capacity Europe 2008 conference in Amsterdam.
Capacity is a respected trade magazine for telecommunications carriers and service providers. The judging panel for the awards included Capacity magazine's senior editorial team as well as leading telecom industry analysts at ATLANTIC-ACM.
"As a communications leader, AT&T has consistently demonstrated its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of wholesale customers," said Matthew Whalley, editor of Capacity magazine. "Global service providers are looking to achieve sustainable growth, and AT&T has expanded its role as a solutions provider to design, execute and manage the integrated solutions that service providers require."
Earlier this year, AT&T extended its network deployment and management expertise to service providers in various parts of the world, establishing consultative business relationships that allow local or regional carriers to tap into lessons learned by AT&T over its more than a century of service. This knowledge transfer can help a carrier benefit from AT&T's expertise and improve both quality of service and reliability. AT&T's professional and consulting service offerings include managed hosting solutions; database, storage and security services; networking and business continuity solutions; Web site hosting and Internet applications; and many business operations processes and support systems for business customers.
"In today's wholesale landscape, nothing is more important than delivering value to our customers," said Sherry Charles, vice president, Wholesale and GEM Solutions Marketing, AT&T Operations Inc. "Service providers are increasingly being called on to help connect the world's markets, and this award affirms that our integrated solutions help our customers effectively run their business and compete in today's global marketplace."
AT&T wholesale customers benefit from the expansive reach of one of the largest communications networks in the world. In September 2008, industry analyst firm Current Analysis¹ reported that it was "taking a positive stance on AT&T's wholesale services because AT&T has a depth and breadth of services that are unmatched by any other carrier, and its overall network coverage gives AT&T a solid international footprint from which the company can offer a mix of voice and data services."
As a global leader, AT&T delivers a full portfolio of end-to-end, reliable and highly secure network, voice, data and Internet Protocol solutions to the six wholesale industry segments that it serves: carriers, wireless operators, cable providers, systems integrators, Internet service providers and content providers. AT&T is one of the largest wholesale transport and communications service providers in the world — maintaining connections to more than 600 carriers in more than 220 countries and territories. AT&T brings value to wholesale customers through its industry-leading solutions, full-circle multifaceted business relationships and scale, scope and expertise.

Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
DXA Screening and Use of Osteoporosis Medications in Two Large Regional Healthcare Systems.

Statement of Purpose:
To compare the effect of a patient panel-support tool (PST) vs. standard of care on dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) screening in two large healthcare systems. Despite U.S. guideline recommendations for all women 65 years and older to have a screening bone density scan with central DXA, less than one-third of eligible U.S. women have undergone DXA testing.
We evaluated DXA receipt and use of prescription osteoporosis medications among women aged 6590 in two large healthcare systems. Women were eligible for inclusion in the analysis if they had at least 24 months of enrollment at Kaiser Permanente Georgia (KPGA) or Northwest (KPNW). Primary outcomes included a DXA scan in the past 5 years and use of osteoporosis medications in the past year. The analysis included data obtained in 6 month intervals from January 2005 through July 2009. From this data, we examined the effect of a PST (KPNW) vs. standard of care (KPGA). The PST uses EMR data to graphically display "care gaps" for each patient, based on current evidence. Through this mechanism, primary care physicians within the KPNW system are alerted to order a DXA in patients without a DXA in the previous 5 years (start date February 26, 2007).
Summary of Results:
The number of women undergoing screening DXA increased significantly in the KPNW group with the proportion increasing from 25.3% in January 2005 to 58.7% in July 2009 (Risk Difference {RD} 33.3%, 95% CI 32.5 34.1%). This differs from KPGA, in which minimal change in DXA scan use occurred between January 2005 and July 2009, 43.1% and 45.3%, respectively (RD 2.2%, 95% CI 0.63.9%). The majority of the increased DXA use was seen following the implementation of the PST, Figure 1.
Figure 1. Percentage of women aged 6590 receiving DXA screening or prescription of osteoporosis medications in 20052009 in KP Northwest and KP Georgia.
However, the number of women taking an osteoporosis medication did not increase significantly over the 5 year period in either region, +3.4% in KPNW and +1.3% in KPGA.
Among older women, DXA testing increased incrementally over the past 3 years in the KPNW healthcare system, following the implementation of a PST. However, despite the increased screening, the use of osteoporosis-specific medications for fracture risk reduction did not increase significantly. In a similar healthplan that did not implement such a program, the rates of DXA testing remained relatively flat. Further randomized studies are needed to confirm effectiveness of methods to improve appropriate DXA utilization.

It depends on the tools you have and how dexterous your hands are
Here's how I did it (I didnt take pics):
1) With hood open, take the wind seal off at the very front that the hood closes on. You will see a bunch of screws holding the top of the bumper on where the grills are at. Remove them.
2) You now will have enough room to slide your hand in to get to the top and sides of the kidney grill to disengage the clips with your hand (use the ones you bought as the reference locator). The plastic bumper has some give so you can get your arm in, but don't push the issue or the paint may crack if overextended.
3) I had some needle nose pliers that had the end bent into a "L" to reach the bottom ones to disengage those.
4) Once you have one grill out, the other is a cinch since you have easier access.
5) With both grills out, pop the new ones in. Punch them in place pretty firmly so all of the clips properly engage.
6) Put the screws back in that hold the bumper. Note: Pay attention to the indentations left where the screws sat as if you dont tighten them down in the same place, it can make the hood end and bumper end not look liked up when the hood is closed.
7) Replace weather stripping. Close hood and admire the new sexyness.
8) Have a beer.
Took me about 30 minutes total.

AIDS activists praise progress, warn about lingering danger of HIV
Catholic AIDS activists said they are encouraged by the steady progress being made against HIV, but warned against complacency.
As an estimated 18,000 delegates and visitors to yet another international AIDS conference made their way home from Australia in late July, there were no headlines about how the end of AIDS is just around the corner. There is no cure yet, conference participants heard, and there's unlikely to be one in the near future.

Hedge fund returns should not be compared directly to equity benchmarks. Hedge fund marketers will always say this, and with some reason: hedge fund strategies have a different risk-return profile from equities. Many allocate a lot of money to "short" positions, betting against the market. So it is not necessarily that surprising or damning when equity hedge funds suffer a very bad year compared to the index, as happened last year. That was a big part of my discussion with Hedge Fund Research's Ken Heinz in the latest Note video:
But it is interesting to look at how hedge fund investors seem to have behaved. And in aggregate, they look a lot like classic retail mutual fund investors, chasing performance and piling in after a good run. Inflows to hedge funds last year were slightly lower than they were in 1993, according to HFR (and obviously far smaller in percentage terms). The great boost to hedge funds' assets came in the years after the dotcom crash of 2000, when many funds managed to rise. Read more

1. Re: Unable to retrive a NVARCHAR2 column via tt_classesRajeshp-Oracle Jul 4, 2012 4:53 AM (in response to Shahrokh)As you are using Windows Driver manager, there is some restriction using SQL_WCHAR and SQL_WVARCHAR.
This from C Dev guide
"Applications using the Windows driver manager may encounter errors from SQLBindParameter with SQL state S1004 (SQL data type out of range) when passing an fSqlType value of SQL_WCHAR or SQL_WVARCHAR. This problem can be avoided by passing one of the following values for fSqlType instead:
SQL_WCHAR_DM_SQLBINDPARAMETER_BYPASS instead of SQL_WCHAR
SQL_WVARCHAR_DM_SQLBINDPARAMETER_BYPASS instead of SQL_WVARCHAR
These type codes are semantically identical to SQL_WCHAR and SQL_WVARCHAR but avoid the error from the Windows driver manager. They can be used in applications that link with the driver manager or link directly with the TimesTen ODBC direct driver or ODBC client driver.
See "SQLBindParameter function" for information about that ODBC function. "
Can you please use "SQL_WVARCHAR_DM_SQLBINDPARAMETER_BYPASS" above types instead ?
2. Re: Unable to retrive a NVARCHAR2 column via tt_classesShahrokh Jul 4, 2012 5:30 AM (in response to Rajeshp-Oracle)Dear rajeshp
I didn't get the point. SQL_WCHAR_DM_SQLBINDPARAMETER_BYPASS and the other one are just a simple constants equal to -888 and -889 respectively. These can't be used to create a variable
in c++. My question was how to get the value of nvarchar2 column. In getColumnType function when you encounter a nvarchar2 values, it returns -8 and -9 and with none of version of
getColumn function you can achieve its value and it generates compatibility error. If it's possible to you, please describe more what in your mind.
3. Re: Unable to retrive a NVARCHAR2 column via tt_classesChrisJenkins-Oracle Jul 4, 2012 7:37 AM (in response to Shahrokh)As per the documentation, NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 columns are returned as UTF-16 encoded strings. The correct C/C++ data type for this is SQLWCHAR (which equates to wchar_t on Windows and unsigned short on Unix/Linux). Windows intrinsically uses UTF-16 so there you are fine but on Unix/Linux the wchar_t implementation is actually UTF-32 and there is no standard support for UTF-16 (as far as I know) so there you will need to either use some UTF-16 library or provide your own UTF-16 / UTF-32 conversion. For thsi reason it may be better to avoid NCHAR/NVARCHAR2 and instead use regular CHAR/VARCHAR2 with a suitable DatabaseCharacterSet (such as AL32UTF8) since most Unix/Linux 'char' implementations today use UTF-8 natively.
4. Re: Unable to retrive a NVARCHAR2 column via tt_classesShahrokh Jul 7, 2012 4:14 AM (in response to ChrisJenkins-Oracle)Dear Chris
As you said it's been written in the documentation that for NVARCHAR2 columns we should use wchar_t variable types but when I used this type, I had gotten an error in ttclasses1121.dll. The project is compiled but a runtime error indicating the getColumn function could not be located in ttclasses1121.dll.
5. Re: Unable to retrive a NVARCHAR2 column via tt_classesChrisJenkins-Oracle Jul 8, 2012 8:25 AM (in response to Shahrokh)I checked the code and the functions are there for sure. Note that (a) you should use SQLWCHAR not wchar_t directly and (b) the getColumn function for SQLWCHAR takes a SQLWCHAR ** argument not a SQLWCHAR* argument. i.e. we return you a pointer to a buffer rather than copying the data to a buffer that you have allocated. For example:
TTCmd myCmd;
SQLWCHAR * myColumnVal;
/* Assumes TTCmd has already been prepared, executed etc. etc. */
getColumn(1 /* assume col#1 is NVARCHAR2 */, &myColumnVal);
Is this what you are doing in you code?
If you are still having problems please can you provide an example of the actual code that has the problem.
6. Re: Unable to retrive a NVARCHAR2 column via tt_classesShahrokh Jul 19, 2012 7:46 AM (in response to ChrisJenkins-Oracle)I do the exactly what you saying but i get a runtime error about that .dll file. Is it possible that the .dll fill I have may be corrupted?? If so, can you please upload your file??
Best regards
7. Re: Unable to retrive a NVARCHAR2 column via tt_classesChrisJenkins-Oracle Jul 20, 2012 8:10 AM (in response to Shahrokh)Sorry, but I just noticed that you are using version 184.108.40.206.0 which is pretty old now and I believe does not even properly support wide characters. Can you please upgrade to the latest version (184.108.40.206.0) and try again with that before we go any further. No one should be using such an old version now. if for some reason you need to stick with 11.2.1 then please upgrade to 184.108.40.206.0 which is the latest release in the 11..1 stream. But I would strongly recommend using 126.96.36.199.0 instead.
8. Re: Unable to retrive a NVARCHAR2 column via tt_classesShahrokh Jul 31, 2012 7:18 AM (in response to ChrisJenkins-Oracle)We create some VS10 projects based on 18.104.22.168 version .dll files which was so difficult to get ttClasses worked. Once I tried to upgrade to the
latest version of TimesTen but I couldn't compile the projects because my try to create new .dll files failed.

NEW YORK • Twelve years after terrorists destroyed the old World Trade Center, the new one is becoming a reality, with a museum remembering the attacks and two office towers where thousands of people will work set to open within the next year.
A look at the status of the trade center's major components, according to developers:
—The 8-acre memorial plaza with its twin reflecting pools where the World Trade Center towers once stood opened in 2011 on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Nearly 10 million people have visited. Construction of the accompanying underground museum was delayed by a funding dispute between the memorial foundation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey but officials say the museum will open in the spring. Sept. 11 artifacts including a mangled fire truck and the pieces of intersecting steel known as the Ground Zero Cross are already in place.

Equities unchanged as volumes drop
All active equities during this morning's trading session on the Borza closed unchanged. Following the increased trading activity registered in the last couple of weeks in reaction to various announcements including the full-year results by Bank of Valletta plc, trading volumes on the equity market today declined to their lowest level this month with only €60,700 worth of shares traded across the 6 active equities.
The share prices of the three retail banks remained supported at their previous price levels. Bank of Valletta plc closed at the €3.70 level for the seventh successive session on volumes of over 10,800 shares. HSBC Bank Malta plc maintained the €2.95 level across 3,340 shares with low volumes of 1,700 shares in Lombard Bank Malta plc at the €2.65 level.
Another 1,752 FIMBank plc shares traded unchanged at US$0.93 with further offers outstanding at this level. The other two active equities were GO plc and Malta International Airport plc which also maintained their previous price levels.
Shortly after the closure of today's trading session, Simonds Farsons Cisk plc issued its Interim Directors' Statement. The Directors explained that that the overall performance between August and October was satisfactory despite the highly challenging and competitive environment in which the Group operates. The Directors also stated that turnover continues to increase across all segments with some notable successes in export markets. The Directors of Farsons stated that they expect the Group's results for the current financial year to show an improvement in profitability over the previous year when a pre-tax profit of €3.1 million was generated.

News Brief: Grad Roulette
Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College Acknowledges Graduates in the Age of Social MediaWhat happens when one of the premier graduate schools in the United States turns over control of a YouTube channel to its graduating students? That's precisely what Carnegie Mellon University's H. John Heinz III College, a global leader in the areas of public policy, technology and management, has done with a project called Grad Roulette.
Having recently launched in conjunction with the college's commencement ceremony, the website http://www.gradroulette.com features a virtual roulette wheel visitors can spin to randomly land on a 2011 graduate. A video player is then launched and the graduate proceeds to draw, as well as answer, a random question from a commencement cap. Some questions relate specifically to areas of study at Heinz College while others are humorous and of general interest. All questions were submitted by Heinz College students, faculty and staff.
Brad Stephenson, a 2005 Heinz College alumnus and senior web media and marketing manager for Heinz College, says Grad Roulette is a creative attempt to shine the spotlight on our graduating students.
"Our alumni have helped shape Heinz College's outstanding reputation for educational excellence, and we just wanted to acknowledge the newest members of that community with a fun and original concept," he says.

You're welcome if you have any other ideas for Gameplay Modes:
Well true, there is only racing against clock implemented. But I wouldn't say it's pointless, you drive the track's road to have the fastest lap. And some tracks aren't easy (pipes, winding road in air).
Opponents are difficult to implement (can't imagine how to describe for them how to drive pipes and jumps so it would be at decent level, or how should they recover from it).
Game: Ultima VII
Exult is a free, open-source fan project; it also lets users play games created by others for the Exult engine. The thing that's closed-source/commercial is Ultima VII, which provides the files Exult relies on for music, images, and so forth.
The one issue is that the Exult team stopped including Linux when compiling binaries back in 2004, and all of the Linux distros I've checked are evidently waiting for a binary to be released, as they haven't updated their repos since then. All add-ons (some of which make drastic improvements or additions) and other games require Exult 1.4 at the least; the last Linux binary was 1.2.
nice work! its done.
