Beef Roast – easy and delicious recipe for beef roast
Beef Vegetable Stew
I serve this with cornbread, so after putting everything in the pot, I make the cornbread and by the time it is done (about 30 minutes), the stew is ready.
Most of this is a judgement call. If you like it thicker, add more noodles, if you like it thinner, then add more liquid. I've tweaked it several different ways, adding onion soup mix, etc. I always double the recipe and use the large family size can of cream of mushroom soup and a cup of liquid and I add mushrooms. It's wonderful for Sunday afternoon dinner. I prepare garlic crescent rolls and serve with a salad or veggie.
- 1 1/4 Pounds Cubed beef stew meat
- 2 Cans Condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 Chopped onion
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 Cup Water
- Beef broth or red wine or a mixture of both
- 1 Pinch Garlic salt
- 8 Ounces Cream cheese (cut up)
- Egg noodles or Amish noodles
Step One
In slow cooker, combine uncooked meat and all ingredients, EXCEPT cream cheese and noodles.
Step Two
Cook on low setting for 8 hrs or high for about 5 hrs.
Step Three
Approx. 15-20 min before serving, add the cream cheese; stir occasionally until melted.
Step Four
Approx. 10 minutes before serving, add uncooked noodles, push down in sauce to get lightly coated; replace lid, but stir occasionally until noodles are soft and ready to eat.
Step Five
A small can of mushrooms or fresh mushrooms is a good addition.You can serve with sour cream or not if you wish.

About Me
Hi! Thanks for dropping by.
I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. When I was seven, I moved with my family to my father's boyhood home in Switzerland. Here I continued with grade one, the big difference being I didn't understand a word anyone was saying!
The adventure lasted only a year. My family moved back to British Columbia to live in the small town of Chilliwack in the heart of the Fraser Valley. My parents operated a delicatessen, where I and my four siblings worked, each in our turn.
I was now in grade two and speaking English all the time, which suited me. I wasn't the kind of girl who always had her nose in a book or kept a diary of all the great girl things I was doing, and I never won a spelling bee!
I was an outdoor girl. I loved recess and playing marbles dodge ball, or red rover. After school, I climbed trees, played baseball even in the rain, and rode my bike all over town. On weekends, I took my younger sister and brother to the movies.
I loved comic books. They gave me a chance to practice my reading! Nancy and Sluggo and the Superheroes were special favourites.
I lived the life of a free-range kid. I had plenty of time to go where I wanted, to sit under a tree and daydream, and to have adventures.
I still didn't read much, even in high school. I did love the illustrated classic comic books and had the entire collection of almost 200. These comics gave me an intimate knowledge of the great works of literature in the English language.
If I didn't especially like to read or write, how did I get started as a writer? I loved music, especially the music of the sixties and seventies and the lyrics of poets like Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. When I was sixteen, I heard the words of Paul Simon in his song "The Boxer" and those of Joni Mitchell in her song "Both Sides Now," and I was blown away.
I started to write my own poems and, after high school, studied creative writing at the University of Victoria. In my final year, I took a course in children's literature. I loved it so much, I began to write for children. In 1992, I published my first book, a picture book about an orange cat, called I Hate You, Marmalade!
I now live in Toronto, Ontario.
I'd love to hear from you. If you contact me, I will write you back.

Also the combat from NWN 1+2 isn't turn based enough to scratch the Goldbox itch
My suggestion for the topic: Knights of the Chalice. Fantastic turn based combat and one of the closest in spiritual feeling to the Infinity Engine games.

Becks is working to bring an MLS expansion club to Miami, which would require a new stadium. Miami-based architect Arquitectonica, in conjunction with 360 Architecture, released renderings for what the stadium could look like.
Located at the Port of Miami and overlooking Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline, the proposed stadium is an open-air stunner surrounded by glass. If it moves forward, the stadium could be surrounded by new hotel and office developments; all part of the Port of Miami's master development plan.
"When people think of Miami, they immediately think about being near or on the water," Beckham said in a statement. "I asked my team to develop ideas for a stadium that embraces the best of the destination. Even though we are in the early stages of building the franchise, I believe we have a vision that not only Miami would be proud of, but one that will resonate around the world."

Fine Gael Meath East TD, Regina Doherty, has today (Friday) welcomed advances being made by the Government to introduce electronic tagging for sex offenders. Deputy Doherty said that the news would come as particular relief to residents in Ratoath, who were concerned in recent years at the prospect of a serious sex offender moving into their village.
"The monitoring of sex offenders is something that many people feel strongly about. If a serious sex offender is to be released into the community, I think the authorities should be able to keep track of their whereabouts. Otherwise, local communities can be left feeling very vulnerable.
"The Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter TD, has confirmed to my colleague Brendan Griffin, that proposals for the electronic tagging of sex offenders will be included in the General Scheme of the Sexual Offences Bill. The Minister expects to bring these proposals to Government shortly.
"The introduction of a series of post-imprisonment restraint orders for violent and sexual offenders, including electronic tagging, is a commitment under the Programme for Government, and I am glad it is now being fulfilled.
"As well as providing reassurance to members of the public or former victims, I believe the tagging of sex offenders could act as a significant deterrent to re-offending. I look forward to receiving further details from the Minister when details of the legislation are published."

Midsize Sedans 2.0
cski West Springfield, VAPosts: 1,501Well, the size increases of mid size sedans are driven by a couple of factors.
Customers want more legroom, more headroom, more features, more trunk space, etc. At the same time, the government "safety police" keeps forcing manufactures to add more crumple zones, more airbags, thicker structural members and A-C pillars, side impact beams, pedestrian safety systems (because people are too stupid to get out of the way and/or have ear buds shoved in their ears while listening to Van Halen at level 10 while jogging in the street during rush-hour with all-black sweats).......you get the picture

I'm sure that you could get somebody from every car brand who had a lemon that could give "a word of caution". My experience with Mazda has been the exact opposite of yours. Not one repair that I have had to pay for in 6 years and 95k miles. Two small adjustments...one handled at first oil change and second was a missing screw from a sun visor which they replaced for nothing at 75k miles. They also just installed a new battery in my remote fob for nothing during an oil change. Granted, a lot of this is the dealer but still the car has performed flawlessly. Consumer Reports shows the Mazda6 since 2006 has had a very good repair record.
I have had a couple of lemons from different brands in my life but I avoid giving a brand a bad rap because of my poor luck. If everyone was having similar problems it would be a different story.
My two Mazdas were among the most reliable of the 30 or so vehicles I have owned. 2004 was nine model years ago. Manufacturers can move up and down the reliability ratings quite a bit in that amount of time.
gene84 Posts: 9On the other hand my 2004 Prius has over 210,00 miles and going strong. Water pump went out at 125,00-miles but Toyota paid for it. The brakes will last forever, no major maintenance, no belts, hoses, transmission service required, etc., etc. Local taxi company says they are "bullet proof" you can't "kill them"
cski West Springfield, VAPosts: 1,501Hey guys. I am just sharing my experience with Mazda. It was a very, very nice car and I bought it for my wife. It drove great, had 240 HP and every available option.
It let us down a bit. The accidents were the scary part. My brothers 03 Protege hydroplaned the same way as my wife's Mazda 6, and had the same brand and model Bridgstones.(although smaller and skinnier) He hit the brakes during a sudden downpour and slid 1/4 mile trying to regain control and plowed into the jersey wall.
Those experiences plus the breakdowns soured the milk on Mazda for us. Please do not take it personally. I am sure their new Mazda 6 is probably screwed together better than my "Son-optima". Really.
Chris Skalski: Network Engineer 2012 Kia Optima EX
How is that even remotely a Mazda fault? The tires must have been too worn or the driver was going too fast for conditions.
I have no problem with people reporting their direct experiences with any automobile(midsize of course since that is the topic). If one prefaces with saying that they have no idea if this is still the case since they talking about a car from 8 model years ago or that it even remotely relates to other's expereiences with said car. To my knowledge, Mazda has been using Micheilen brand tires for years(at least since 2007) if that even applies since most hydroplaing is a combo of tire tread, conditions and speed. Actually cannot remember the last I hydroplaned in a vehicle and I drive fairly aggressively. Think about it, a quarter mile of hydroplaning is a long distance assuming he had his foot off the gas and tapping the brakes. Sounds to me like someone going way to fast for conditions but I wasn't there so maybe the Bridgestones were particlularly bad rain tires. I don't know.
I have no axe to grind for Mazda but am just trying to give it a fair shake.
My brothers 03 Protege hydroplaned the same way as my wife's Mazda 6, and had the same brand and model Bridgstones.(although smaller and skinnier) He hit the brakes during a sudden downpour and slid 1/4 mile trying to regain control and plowed into the jersey wall.
Sounds more like a "loose nut behind the wheel", if you catch my drift. My brother also has an 02 Protege approaching 200,000, with no issues other than routine maintenance.
In any event, as many have stated, every brand has had issues over the years. Since you are bringing up a 9 year old Mazda, I can tell you that 9-11 year old Honda's/Acura's had numerous transmission problems. 5 year old Toyota's have had engine sludge problems. 7 yr old VW/Audi's have had electrical problems. See where I cam going with this??
Recent evaluators of Mazda have them near the top in overall reliability. Many new Mazda's have been very, very good. And BTW, I owned a 2005 Mazda6 that was flawless until I traded it for a CX-5, which does have "zoom-zoom" per say even with 155hp. She sips fuel better than any other too.... :shades:
I drove the new Mazda6. It is quite nice, has good power and the fuel ratings are outstanding. Can't wait to see what is in store when the diesel finally arrives.
I too respect any diesel effort..but with a caveat..
That being, that with the strict emission minimums and the general political hate of oil burners in America, regs are going to impose a greater price of admission. Sounds fair right? but if SkyActive gas job tech delivers the FE they are claiming in real world, then the diesel is only going to up that anti by about 20%. Mazda..like any others who venture to go there, will just try to camouflage the 3500-4500$ premium by offering the diesel in basically only loaded offerings. In order to recoup the purchase price premium of the diesel, the customer will have to own/drive much more than the average miles per year that Americans drive in order for the 20% fuel savings to offset that price of admission.
This opinion coming from a guy who loves diesels.
Two things....
First, we have no idea how much the diesel will be, what trim levels it will be offered in or what the efficiency ratings will be. They are expected to surpass the Passat
Second, VW has been KILLING it with the TDI in the last couple years with the Passat, Golf and Jetta models. They are selling like crazy.
Buying a diesel is like buying a hybrid. It takes years before the total cost of ownership equals out when comparing to a regular gasoline engine. It will stop some, but not all. There does seem to be a demand for a clean-diesel here in the States, especially when Mazda's does not require any NOx after treatment.
I hear ya..but let's plan to revisit this page and date when they are finally out and prices and equipment levels have been announced.
Again..this coming from a guy who likes diesels and respects the entirely different rewards and amounts of how torque and the general way the engine delivers in every day use.
edit: but hey...hopefully Mazda will break this past 1.5 decade practice, and offer the diesel [non-permissible content removed] for tat for a 1200 - 1500$ premium over gas and call it a day..one can hope..
Remember when VW offered the Golf/Jetta in diesel or gas for same price? Those were the good ol' days..
Then there's the price premium for diesel fuel. In my town it's about 30% over 87 octane (why so much, I have no idea). So the diesel Mazda6 would need to get 50+ mpg in real world highway driving to overcome that. Tough bar to cross for a midsized sedan. Plus whatever the purchase price premium is.
it's about 30% over 87 octane (why so much, I have no idea)
I could offer my opinion on this, but in past have been accused of being a conspiracist.
Especially when you consider that it costs them less to refine diesel than gas..but I digress
And is why I used the term political in my earlier post..
ivan_99 Posts: 1,681Buying a diesel is like buying a hybrid. It takes years before the total cost of ownership equals out when comparing to a regular gasoline engine.
There are other 'values' of a diesel other than mileage, i.e. torque. In heavier vehicles like our mini-van I'd prefer a diesel even if the fuel savings were minimal.
Sometimes manufacturers add 'gimmicks'...vtec may be nice in a sports/sporty car but for some people, especially minivan drivers and laid back drivers, revving to 4500+ rpm to gain the 'gimmick' feature means you don't take advantage of the feature.
Similarly, some people who drive a Mazda 6 may not want to rev to 5k all day. The commute in stop and go would be better served with a small diesel.
Not that I'm opposed to revving and driving like you stole it...years past, I recall driving a Civic Si for 14 Hours straight at over 5K rpm. I was going pretty fast. Luckily I didn't get a ticket...hopefully I've gained some wisdom over the years
Unless you are a taxi driver that puts 100s of thousands of miles on your car, one may never see the financial benefit of buying a hybrid or diesel. But if you think of diesel as an engine upgrade, then the extra fuel mileage is just a bonus.
Just a small point of reference. I drive a 2011 BMW 328xi sedan (230 hp/200 lb ft of torque). I average about 21 - 22 mpg with it. I had to bring it in for service and was given a 2011 335d (265 hp/425 lb ft of torque) as a loaner car. This diesel BMW was an absolute monster. A rocket taking off from stop, effortless passing on the highway, quiet & smooth. Oh yeah, I averaged 32 mpg with it by just driving how I normally drive (75-80 mph on the highway).

stickguy Posts: 25,710good point about engine upgrades.'
again, look at your 3 series. You could have gone with a 335 instead, and paid many thousands of $$ for a bigger, more powerful engine. Even after you adjust for different equipment, there is a pretty hefty premium for an engine upgrade.
2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport (mine), 2013 Acura RDX AWD (wife's) and 2015 Jetta Sport (daughter's)
True, but look at the price difference of the Passat (2.5) & the TDi. Drive the 2 cars back to back & tell me the TDi isn't worth it.
There was NO WAY I was going for a 335xi. I had to pull out the heavy artillery to convince the wife we should ditch our perfectly fine 2010 TSX (which was 1/2 paid for) in order for me to lease my 2011 328xi.

pegasus17 Posts: 536The Passat is a completely different (and much better) car with the TDI engine versus the anemic 2.5. Unfortunately, the price difference (approx. 5k) is too high (for me)...
hill02 Posts: 3At this point I've read a ridiculous amount of bias online reviews concerning the 2013 Nissan altima and the new Ford Fusion. "Ford haters" that seem to comment on EVERY fusion review claim the vehicle is basically..well crap, just because it's a Ford(American made watch out!).Those who claim they've recently purchased the new altima complain about the car shaking, along with seating and steering issues. Both cars have great safety ratings and there's really no price difference with the vehicles being stripped or fully loaded. I've personally seen both vehicles interior and exterior in person and in the looks category the Ford Fusion wins. Pictures do this car no justice! My only problem with purchasing this vehicle are the recent recall scares(specifically the engine fires!) leaving me to believe that if this car already has 2 recalls in the past few months it has been out, will there be more later? This led me to go for the safer option, which is, the Nissan Altima. The updated altima is safe and attractive in a Nissan way, but is that all the car has to offer? I want something new and fresh! So the point of this is, I need some more views people have on my personal debate between the Ford fusion and the Nissan altima. Which car would you choose and why? Tell me about your experience with driving or owning one of these vehicles! In the end I know the decision is only mine, but I would like to be completely aware of any issues to look out for before choosing a car!
Why are you limiting yourself just to those two?
What about the other good choices, such as Passat, Optima, Sonata, Accord, Mazda6, etc.?
My 2 cents....
Ford does have some quality problems with the Fusion right now. I personally wouldn't buy one in the first year.
The Altima is also made in America. It's probably a better choice right now in terms of quality and reliability.
The Passat, Optima, Sonata, and Accord are also made right here in the USA.
What are you looking for in a car? For instance, how would you rank these things in terms of most important to least important: quality/reliability, style, interior room, safety, handling, acceleration, visibility, resale value, etc. What are your top 3-4 out of those—in order? That would give the people here a better idea of how to try to give you advice.
Seconded, especially the new 6 with the Skyactiv powertrain (high FE and gorgeous) and the Accord. The others are good also, leased a Sonata GLS for my wife last November and she loves it, but it's now one of the oldest designs in the mid-sized class (hard to believe).
Also, in terms of the Fusion being American made, that's actually not always the case. I think about half of the Fusions sold here are made in Mexico, and about half are made in Michigan. You'd have to look on the window sticker of the particular car to see where exactly it's made.
In other words, an Altima, Passat, Optima, Accord, or Sonata might be more "made in USA" than a Ford Fusion.
All Fusions are built in Mexico until later this year when Flat Rock comes online in Michigan.
I just bought a 2013 Fusion. This is my 3rd new vehicle and all were new models purchased within the first few months of production. My 06 Fusion was the 2nd one off the truck at the dealer and the only thing I had to do to it over 7.5 years and 60K miles was replace one door handle and change the oil, filter and tires.
The quality problems with the 2013 Fusion are assembly errors or parts being out of spec or defective from the supplier. Once corrected those problems won't reappear. For example the major delay last October was due to a headlamp problem where the supplier didn't cure the plastic properly. These problems, like the 1.6L fires, appear almost immediately and are fixed just as quickly.
I don't have any long term reliability issues with any of the current crop of midsized sedans. The worst vehicle today is better than the best vehicle 20 years ago.
What was the cause of the 1.6l fires?
Thanks for the info re: where Fusions are made.
I agree with what you say in that almost all cars today are way beyond what was available 20 years ago.
The Fusion is a great looking car. And many tests say the handling and performance of the Fusion are both very good.
I imagine you're probably right about the quality issues. Ford hit a few bumps in the road, but no doubt they are working overtime to fix them.
There are a lot of great choices for midsize buyers, and the Fusion is definitely in the mix if the quality issues are mostly resolved at this point.
romil01 Posts: 75Drove a 2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring today. While the exterior is gorgeous and it drove nicely, the interior is nowhere near as nice as the new Accord. The driver's seat felt hard, whereas the Accord's was really plush. Also, the Accord's center stack is much more modern looking. The nav system in the new 6 is pretty antiquated looking. An Accord EX-L V-6 with Nav is slightly more expensive than the Mazda6 GT 4-cylinder, but it seems to be the higher quality vehicle, and the extra power from the V-6 is nice. Yes the Mazda gets better mileage, but I prefer the power. It's too bad Honda didn't do a little more with the exterior of the Accord. It's not ugly, but it doesn't stand out. The new Mazda6 easily trumps all other midsize sedans in looks, even the new Fusion, the Sonata, and the Optima.
lightfootfl Posts: 442I can't help but think there might be a ?slight ? exaggeration here....14 hours at 5K ... I just can't figure where, other than a special track where this could possibly be done. If that civic was able to do that even would be pushing credibility some. Allowing for some "writer's license" though, that would really be great.

If that civic was able to do that even would be pushing credibility some. Allowing for some "writer's license" though, that would really be great.
I, too,chuckled at that until I realized the bridge from San Francisco to Honolulu must now be complete.
The Fusion should be about as reliable as any of the other choices. Cars are just like that today.
One small gripe about the Fusion...with the longest wheelbase (over 112"), it should have full-size room, like the Accord and Sonata do. The Passat with 2" less wheelbase is cavernous by comparison. The Ford may be high style, but that doesn't explain the lack of interior room. It is not lower or narrower than any of its rivals. Its back seat hardly even trumps the Malibu's, which rides on a wheelbase many inches shorter.
Personally I prefer the interior esp. the dash of the Mazda6 over the Accord's. The Accord's dash is too over-styled for my taste. I prefer the simpler lines of the Mazda6's dash. It reminds me of the dash of some German luxury cars. Accord's dash... looks like some Japanese engineers were trying too hard. I think the interior styling of the Mazda6 will wear better over time.
As for exterior... no comparison there, the Accord looks like any Accord from the past 15 years or so. Not bad, and the Genesis-like rear end is an improvement over last generation. But nothing to heighten the pulse rate like the Mazda6, Fusion, Sonata, and Optima. At least the Accord is less boring outside than the Impala... I mean, Passat!

Baron wasn't doing us any favors man he came here to be on a big team Just incase we make a run Now he saw we were losing He's disinterested and doesn't want to play. If Lin keeps this up and we play great Baron will come around and play but it will be too late.
That's the kind of player he is, He was disinterested on the Clippers and came out of shape until he saw the Blake Griffin Show going on and finally got into a little shape and started playing well but it was too late he fell out of grace and got traded for Mo Williams.
Cavs won the Irving sweepstakes by making the trade for B.Diddy and still amnesty'd him because they felt it was best to just let Kyrie grow.
Davis has always been a player who needs extra motivation to play or He'll just mail it in. We might as well cut him and free up roster space What is he going to do if he comes back March(Mid March) Huh Playoffs start April you think in 1 month he'll be on page with Melo Amare and Chandler?
I rather roll with Lin and throw the MLE on Aaron Brooks
Sorry guys but we got Hoodwink BDiddy ain't no savior

a synthetic vest
This isn't a down vest. Right when I got it I realized it was too heavy to be a down vest and when I read the tag nowhere did it say it was filled with down but rather with synthetic material.
I am 5'9 160lb and got the medium. it fits a little bulky around the belly, it isnt an athletic cut. the arm holes are tight. I think it might be uncomfortable to wear this over anything other than a thin under layer.

Yes! All my favorites made it through (though 3 made it through the wildcard). I was surprised Haley made it. I think Lauren Turner would have been in the running for the wild card if she didn't. But I liked Naima, Kendra, and Ashton making it over Lauren. The Laurens are a little too similar to both be in the top 13 (Curly hair, similar voice, overweight, medium talent). Kendra was a waste of space tonight though so maybe they should have given Lauren the chance. I think it would have been hard to have both Kendra and Haley in the top 13 too and Kendra fell apart tonight. Too bad. She had a shot. How did Haley make it over her? Vote splitting, maybe?
I think the 3 guys selected for the wild card round were all similar. I think they wanted a guy of that type in. Otherwise, I would have liked to hear Jordan and Clint again. I thought they might have been great singing a different song. I think the judges didn't want them in the top 13 because who needs either of them when you have Jacob Lusk? Stefano is adorable but I really love his voice. It is very sweet.
Ashton deserved it hands down. I can't believe others don't believe so. I thought it was clear she was the best. But I do believe that there is a huge bias against R&B on this show. There has been since season 7. For that reason, I think it will be tough for Naima, Ashton, and Jacob to make tour. At least, I hope that the bias is against R&B and not something else.
This is the first season all my favorites made the top 13!
OK...I hate the fact that they didn't let the WC perform next week so we can vote again. But they let the judges choose so they CAST the finalists. I figured that the finalists lack some african american women so Naima will be in....but Ashthon??? Kendra even sang better than her. And WTF, what is Jovany doing in the WC? And Stefano over Robbie? I thought they would pull an Anoop on Robbie but sadly they didn't (they ran out of time). I'm surprised that Kendra and Jovany even made the WC round since they were just canon fodder. I thought they will choose Lauren T. and Clint the big voices who are actually not boring performers. I really think that Robbie and especially Lauren T were robbed. I hate the fact that Haley and Karen made the top 5 although I was expecting Karen to make it.
Naima's performance was weak vocal-wise but there was intensity in her delivery. That's probably why she made it. I really think that she would have made the top 5 if she sang this during the semi-final round in place of Haley or Karen. Otherwise both Robbie and Stefano sang very well and I could have taken out Ashthon over Robbie. That being said Top 5 girls should have included Naima and Lauren T. instead of Karen and Haley.

I'm satisfied with the top 13. Not exactly who I would have chosen, but good, solid talent and several that will make useful cannon fodder while the others jostle for the cream position (mixed metaphors anyone? ) I hope Loewenstern gets picked up to be a commentator somewhere like past Idol cast-offs have been. He didn't have the strongest voice, but he's so darned entertaining and memorable. I really liked Robbie going in, but both Tuesday and last night, I thought his songs were wobbly and inconsistant. Poor Clint looked like he took a laxative right before going on air.
Does anyone else think each judge got one wildcard pick but they just didn't present it that way? Past years, judges have had to "defend" their choices when they start to tank.
Somewhere, a darling boy with the voice of an angel is chuckling in vindication (I'm talking to you, Clint and James)
Count your blessings!
Is Jacob Lusk (black man in lavender shirt) the one who over sings?
Scott? I am shocked. He is a one trick pony and not current! The country viewers are loyal to their genre and he will probably make it far.
Ashton over Lauren Turner? That was a shocker.
Lauren Alania is only 15 but looks 25. I hope a stylist gets ahold of her and tames her 80's hair and educates her on jewelry and clothes. Not a good look.

"You don't rehearse Mr. T, you just turn him loose."
-----Sylvester Stallone, on Mr. T-----
It I am pretty happy with the top 13, though I would have put Lauren instead of Ashton in the group, imho.
"To err is human, to arr is a pirate"
I am content with the 13 but any of the kids would have been OK since they seemed really to have found great singers this season. Good for AI in making the changes they did this year. What was most noticable was that the show is fun....I so do NOT miss Simon who seemed to just suck the fun out of the show with his snarkiness directged at young kids who were just trying to get a break. I had to laugh at some of the posts here decrying the lack of ridicule from the judges.
Really, now that you think of it, was the nastiness really needed?? America always voted and they voted ( except I guess for some people who relied on Simon to tell them what they liked) for their favorites...no different from last night. But the show was dramatic and joyous.
One thing that did strike me was the situation with the tall kid who sang Usher and it didn't work----supposedly he was "given" the song to sing. With all the judges' talk about what he would do more appropriately the next time, the did not give him that chance. Nobody picked him to wild card it. I thought that was so odd.

U.S. wholesalers boosted their stockpiles in January by the largest amount in 13 months even though their sales dropped sharply.
The Commerce Department says inventories at the wholesale level rose 1.2 percent in January compared with December when inventories had edged up a slight 0.1 percent. The latest rise was the biggest gain since a similar increase in December 2011.
Sales at the wholesale level dropped 0.8 percent after being flat in December.
Sluggish growth in stockpiles was a key reason the economy barely grew in the October-December quarter. But economists believe stronger job growth and other signs of an economic rebound will spur businesses to restock this quarter.
Increased stockpiling supports economic growth by triggering greater factory production.

A STUDENT'S unplanned early hours 'mercy mission' to assist a fraught fellow undergraduate landed him with a driving ban.
Elliot Alan Blenkhorn was at the wheel of a car seen swerving across the southbound carriageway entering the A19 at Wellfield, east Durham, at 2.10am on November 15.
He was pulled over by police and failed a roadside breath test, before giving a subsequent reading showing 110mg of alcohol, compared to the legal driving limit of 35, in a further test at the police station.
Loading article content
Twenty-year-old Blenkhorn, of Nevilledale Terrace, Durham, admitted drink driving and was given a 26-month motoring ban by North Durham magistrates earlier this month.
He was also ordered to perform 100-hours unpaid work and pay £145 costs and victim surcharge.
Blenkhorn, of previous good character, appealed against the sentence at Durham Crown Court today (Thursday December 20).
His barrister, Ian West, said the unpaid work element, "could be said to be excessive and unnecessary."
"He's a second year business management student at Durham University and was not expecting to drive that evening.
"He had been drinking and received a phone call from a close friend at the university's Stockton campus who was very upset.
"She suffers stress-related seizures and after a very fraught conversation with him, he took the unwise decision to comfort her in person, rather than over the phone.
"No accident was caused, but the high reading suggests there was an inherent danger in him driving.
"It was not planned but for the peculiar circumstances."
Mr West said the unpaid work would have a "detrimental effect" on Blenkhorn's studies, given that he also regularly trains and plays rugby.
Recorder Jonathan Aitken, sitting with two magistrates, said they did not consider it "a genuine emergency", but given Blenkhorn's previous good character and prompt admissions they could reduce the amount of unpaid work by 20 hours, taking it to 80 hours.

Horfe Graffiti Documented in Death is Home
The walls in Paris speak the free-thinking philosophy of graffiti writer, Horfe in a new documentary by Will Robson-Scott and Vans OTW.
Apparently, people don't read anymore. So we'll keep this short. If no one is reading the books on things like philosophy, the only thing hand drawn expression left is graffiti. Horfe's graffiti is heavy in the streets of Paris, look him up sometime. Horfe's beliefs on the world's mechanical way of living life is put into perspective with his lone wolf style of bombing (freely) in Paris, France. According to documentary's description by the filmmaker Will Robson-Scott, it says:
"For the past 10 years, Horfe has dedicated his life to getting his name up in Paris. Through this public development on the streets of his hometown, a unique talent has evolved and developed to the point where his work is considered to be the most interesting, innovating and original graffiti on the planet at the moment. He is now spending an equal amount of time developing his artwork and creating new work for his upcoming shows in London and Paris."
Horfe spoke recently about Death Is Home in an interview you can read here.

Oscar Pistorius gives account of fatal shooting as court listens to bail application
A court has heard for the first time Oscar Pistorius' version of events on the night he shot dead Reeva Steenkamp.
Last Updated: 19/02/13 10:58pm
The Paralympic star does not dispute firing four shots at Ms Steenkamp through the bathroom door at his Pretoria home, three of which hit and fatally wounded her.
But Pistorius denies the prosecution's charge of premeditated murder and says he mistook Ms Steenkamp for a burglar in the early hours of 14 February.
Desmond Nair, Magistrate at the bail hearing in Pretoria, told the defence team he had provisionally bracketed the case in the most serious 'schedule six' category covering premeditated murder.
The judge warned there was little chance of bail unless the defence could argue either for the charge to be downgraded or that there were exceptional circumstances for bail to be granted.
That prompted defence lawyer Barry Roux to read out a sworn affidavit from Pistorius in which he said he reacted in fear when he heard a noise after getting out of bed - without attaching his prosthetic legs - to fetch a fan and close a sliding door.
It was only after he had unloaded four shots and shouted for Ms Steenkamp to call police, he said, that he realised she may have been shot by mistake.
At that point, according to his statement, Pistorius attached his prosthetic legs and broke down the locked bathroom door with a cricket bat to find his girlfriend lying wounded.
Pistorius, who said his attempts to revive Ms Steenkamp failed and she died in his arms, also asked for bail to be granted and said he was an international sports star who had no intention of evading trial.
Four supportive statements - three from friends of Pistorius and one from a friend of the victim - were then read out by Roux, who had earlier asked the prosecution to provide details to support its charge of premeditated murder.
Prosecutor Garrie Nel said he would respond to the defence's request by Wednesday morning, when the second and final scheduled day of the hearing will begin at 7am GMT.

Hike to the top of Baldy Mountain - the highest elevation in Manitoba at 831 metres above sea level - then go higher still, up the observation tower for a spectacular panoramic view of the Manitoba Escarpment.
Enjoy a picnic on the summit while you plan your next adventure in Duck Mountain Provincial Park, known locally as The Ducks.
Fly-fishing lakes, hiking and biking trails and some of the best scuba diving in Manitoba are all right here. East Blue Lake is so clear that in some places, you can see right to the bottom 18 metres below. Go for a swim, play tennis, take up birdwatching and keep an eye out for signs of elk and other wildlife in the lush upland meadows bordering the boreal and deciduous forests.
Just an hour away from Dauphin, the park offers basic and serviced campsites, along with some back-country sites.

Decision-making in General Practice: The importance of laboratory analyses when choosing medical actions
The focus of this study is the effect of a laboratory analysis and socioeconomic variables on choosing medical actions in a specific situation (a clinical vignette - a young woman, Mrs Hansen, with dyspepsia - presented to GPs). We assume that the GP's decision depends on what he or she thinks is best for the patients, based on the best clinical evidence available. Significant variables associated with the choice of medical actions are: the result of the Helicobacter pylori (HP) test, the GP's stated importance of HPRT, the location of the general practice, the GP recommending sick leave, the GP's stated probability that Mrs Hansen's symptoms are due to a H.pylori infection after the HP-result is known, and how the GP follows up the patient. Our results show that the HP-analysis has a significant and major influence on the GPs choice of medical actions. Therefore the quality of the analysis is likely to affect the patients' health and social costs. Hence institutions for quality monitoring and improvement are important elements of health care reforms. Such institutions should balance cost and benefits of quality improving measures, and will be the focus of closer studies in our future research.

Members of Twitter have turned on Imogen Thomas for posting 'naked' pictures of herself on her account on the social network.
The angry messages were aimed at Imogen Thomas after she posted a Tweet in response to being named The Mirror's 'favourite celebrity who posts naked pictures of themselves' .
She wrote: "Hahahaha! Brilliant! I am very proud ;-) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
But some of her followers on Twitter didn't feel that she should be so proud, responses included:
"Oh what a proud moment this must be for you Imogen #classy"
"I love the fact that she has retweeted this like it's something to be proud of. What a sl**!"
"Bet your fathers proud"
"She just doesn't understand irony does she?"
"Bet her parents are real proud. what a classy lady they raised #loser"
"Most naked celeb on Twitter? Couldnt see anything, apart from your legs lol"
But Thomas seemed unfazed by the comments:
"I dont even care....just having a laugh, banter and that.....my life ;-)"
Bypassing the Paparazzi altogether, Imogen Thomas has been posting increasingly revealing pictures on the social network, and as we reported recently, has attracted so much attention for doing so that an unofficial Twitter account for her bottom has been created by a fan.
The use of Twitter by public figures has been called into question recently, with Scottish media complaining about the banality of politicians' tweets, Labour MP Diane Abbott coming under fire for a tweet on the subject of race, and Charlie Sheen accidentally publishing his phone number online.
It was thought that Sheen was trying to send Justin Bieber a private message, but instead sent him a public one.
Social networks such as Twitter and Facebook bring celebrities and public figures closer to their fans than through traditional methods of engagement such as fan mail or interviews, but the instant nature of the services can leave the gateway open to a popular tweeter putting their foot in it.
This is often outweighed by the benefits of public figures and celebrities being able to communicate their messages directly to followers.
Rio Ferdinand was caught up in a Twitter storm when he posted pictures of White House security staff (not something taken lightly by the US government), the photos mysteriously disappeared moments after he posted them, prompting him to write:
"Whoa....some1 has got into my phone + taken down my pics off twitter....this is deep...is jack Bauer in Washington?!"
But the Twitter faux pas must have been a distant memory after the positive response of fans after his omission from England's Euro 2012 squad.
It is also thought that George Galloway won the Bradford West by-election because of his engagement with the electorate through social networks such as Twitter and Facebook.
This may seem somewhat ironic after his stint in the public eye on Big Brother saw him embarrass himself by acting like a cat, but Ansar Ali, columnist for The Independent wrote:
"So these young people, who if you like are the Twitter generation, used social media very adeptly to deliver George Galloway his victory. In that respect as George says there are some parallels with the Arab spring."
So Twitter can win elections, it can assist revolutions, but it can also help you to look like an idiot. But such is the nature of connectivity.
In the case of Imogen Thomas, she will not be perturbed by a small handful of followers turning against her, especially against the backdrop of her 320,000 followers. Her photos, whilst scandalous to some, are on the tame end of the scale when it comes to a real scandal.
Let's not forget the photographs of showing what appeared to be Rihanna emptying a white powder onto her bodyguard's head, prompting many to claim she was using cocaine.
Rihanna's will continue posting photos, probably with a bit more care, and Imogen Thomas will continue to post photos of her body, which after all is how she made her name.
In the case of public figures and celebrities, those opposed to their use of Twitter should not call for them to stop, because Twitter is the perfect gatekeeper, leaving the gates wide open it will allow the public to sniff out the offenders and cause a scandal, 140 characters at a time.

There's A Little Bit Of 'Me' In Maternity
Having a child challenges women in a way that nothing else does. And among the chaos and stress of maternity leave, there are some magical moments when you get to re-evaluate what is important to you, gain new perspective and consider who you really want to be. And it's not surprising that Foye was 'envious' of that.

Dance UK is calling for individual donations towards the establishment of The National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science, as part of The Big Give Christmas Challenge on Monday 6 December. Individuals who donate via the Big Give website on that day have the chance for their donation to be DOUBLED.
'Our art form is very demanding. Our bodies are really our instruments and our sanctuaries. We need to look after them but sometimes... we can't do it alone. It's not just about dedication and discipline but also physical care. It's important for dancers to know that when they get injured they can turn to someone, an institution, an initiative that will provide support and follow-through' Akram Khan dancer.
How will this improve dancer's health and injury prevention?
The vision for the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science is that all top level dancers will have access to the high quality, comprehensive, dance specific healthcare and dance science support services they need, on a par with those enjoyed by elite athletes and dancers in the largest ballet companies. Founding partners are Dance UK, Trinity Laban, University of Wolverhampton and the Jerwood Centre for the Prevention and Treatment of Dance Injuries at Birmingham Royal Ballet, with advice from the British Olympic Medical Institute. We already raised £30, 000 from British Harlequin plc, Jerwood Charitable Foundation has pledged £80, 000 and the Theatrical Management Association and the Society of London Theatres have donated £1000.
Champions for the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science include dancer and actress Bonnie Langford, dancer and co-founder of Ballet Boyz William Trevitt, Tamara Rojo, principal dancer with The Royal Ballet, Camilla Dallerup, 2008 Strictly Come Dancing winner, Angela Towler dancer with Rambert Dance Company, and Kate Prince Artistic Director of ZooNation.
For more information about The National Institute for Dance Medicine and Science visit:
We need your help. We want to maintain this site for the 20,000 people who use it each month, but the technology it is built on needs serious updating. If you use the site please support us with a £3 donation, or whatever you feel able to give, so we can develop it and keep it a free and valuable resource for people who make and love theatre.
You can also give to us without costing you a penny by signing up to Easy Fundraising, so when you shop online from over 2500 retailers Theatre Bristol will receive a donation.

Problems during Beach Party
magnusdogster posted a topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHi all, At the weekend I was working at a great 'Free Camping" festival here in Lefkatha, Greece. The beach was beautiful but it was a bit windy and we tried as best we could to set up windbreaks, and the racks were lifted as high as i could get them up off the ground on some tables. About 3/4's of the way through the night i noticed the thermal lights were starting to occasionally flash (and before anyone states the obvious i will expand by saying all my amps i run at 4 Ohm loading, i have my driveracks set up to protect the amps well before the clip lights flash, and it was a cool evening with no physical objects blocking the path for the airflow to move through the units). I checked constantly to make sure that the lights were never running solid but only occasionally flashed, and turned down the gains to try and reduce the heat load generated. My only conclusion was that as the hours progressed sand had managed to get into the front of the xti's and were reducing the amount of airflow coming through. So now i would like some help and advice on cleaning them correctly. I am guessing that a vacuum cleaner should be avoided due to the static build-up which could effect the circuitry - but a little shared experience from someone would be very greatly appreciated. Also going on from this, does anyone have any tips to stop this from happening again? Has anyone used additional foam on the front as a primary barrier, or can you recommend some product/material that can be used without limiting the airflow to the fans? Many thanks in advance, Magnus
XTI- Macbook
magnusdogster replied to esavinon51's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHi again Eric, The Harman software (Band Manager / Sys Architect) will not run natively on a mac. And if you intend to use only Macs then you will have to install a copy of windows using Bootcamp (on Leopard or Snow Leopard) or one of the virtual options like Parallels: Parallels on Mac Personally i use Bootcamp, and simply reboot into windows when i want. This way there is no way that the 'gremlins' from the Windows side of things can effect my Macintosh partition or any of the data that i work with using OSX. This is a perfect working solution to run System Architect or Band Manager on my MacBook when i am out working with the rig, although i have also heard on this forum that the Harmon software works fine using the virtual OS solutions as well. Hope this helps, Magnus

XTI200 and XTI4000
magnusdogster replied to esavinon51's topic in Amplifiers - General Discussion"YES" You can set up crossovers between CH1+CH2 (Subs on CH1 and Mid/High on CH2) specifying simple options using the front panel on the amp, or plug in a PC and create tailor made crossovers/limiters and eq which you can then save and recall from the front panel when you want.

magnusdogster replied to slingerkid's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHi Slingerkid, you need to go to the Harmon site to download 'HiQNet Band Manager' (it's the simplified version of Sys Architect specifically for the Xti range connecting via USB). It will be all that you need to do what you want: hiqnet.harmanpro.com/downloads.php Also make sure you read all of the specs as you may have to load 'Microsoft .NET 3.5' - which is also available from the above page. Once you have all of the software installed your PC will recognize the XTI and it will automatically populate when you run Band Manager software. Many people (including myself) have had similar issues so don't worry, but most of the answers you are seeking can be found here in the forums - just use the search function. Hope this helps, Magnus
Nema 6-20P plug on xti 6K
magnusdogster posted a topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHi, just a quick one to the Crown guys. My new xti 6K has arrived today so i will finally have the headroom that i have been waiting for on my subs. (My xti 4K was running at 0.8 of program power for the bass bins which was not leaving me very much when they were pushed). So i unpacked the 6K to find that there is a NEMA 6-20P ended lead in the box, and here in Athens Greece this is not a common socket to find anywhere. So my question is this: Is it ok to chop the plug off and change it? Also - why is it that the manual for the xti shows the 'AC Inlet Connection' as being an IEC C20(20 amp) only in the 'English' text, yet in French/German and Italian the connection is an IEC C14 (10 amp). So can you enlighten me as to whether this xti 6K will run from a 10 amp supply as the literature suggests? Or do you sell a different spec'd machine for euro countries, it's a little confusing. (Page 20 on the xti operation manual) Thanks for your help - as always Magnus
System Protection from Evil DJ's
magnusdogster posted a topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHi, I am getting annoyed with ignorant dj's acting like children on my mixer. When i set up my system for 'me' to play i can use a flat signal (no red lights) from the mixer, and set the amps to just below the clip level. Everything is safe, and there is the least amount of electrical components between the musical material and the drivers - this will give me the best sound possible from my system - easy! Now when the rest of the dj's start to play - and no matter how i explain or threaten them - as soon as my back is turned they are using the EQ pots on my Pioneer like 'Etch a Sketch' controls, and the main output is almost solid red. I was told by one dj (who shall remain nameless) "my music is all about distortion, it is the only way i play!" - to which i replied "****-off". I have obviously been trying to protect my investment when others play by using the Crown dsp limiters, and high pass and low pass filters - but sitting next to the amps constantly lowering the gains as each dj tries to get more volume is bugging me. To protect my system i am thinking of investing one of the new dbx driverack PA plus. This will give me the Peak Limiters (among other things) that i am looking for so i will negate the fact that dj's can be destructive in their ignorance, and i will stand a chance of going for a pee without my speakers getting melted in the meantime. So my questions: - Can someone with similar experiences advise me that this is the correct way to go - I have heard other systems using driveracks and they have sounded a little sterile, is this just because they were set up incorrectly? - dbx driveracks have settings for Crown amps, are these any good? I thank you in advance for your time, we are all trying to get the best from our systems and these shared experiences are worth their weight in gold. Best Regards, Magnus
Band Manager / Sys Architect will not recognise xti4000
magnusdogster replied to magnusdogster's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingI have been working with a fantastic Crown tech over the last couple of weeks on this stubborn issue with my xti. It was a bit of a head scratcher for both of us, and with a 12 hour time difference between us it made for challenging communication. We have been talking every working day via mail trying to get a solution - and today we cracked it using an older version of the firmware to get the device recognized. Now i have a fully functioning xti that communicates perfectly with all of the Harmon software, and it all works seamlessly. So i would like to finish this posting by thanking all of the support staff at Crown USA, and raising my hat to Kevin Heber for being an absolute star. Thanks for your time, and your professionalism. My big gig is this Saturday, and my problem is fixed. Magnus
Band Manager / Sys Architect will not recognise xti4000
magnusdogster replied to magnusdogster's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingHi Kevin, I have gone into the options as described and the USB device is listed. I went through both entries removing them and adding them again and still had no joy. The Sys Architect is online but regardless of whatever i did in the 'options' section there was no change - User:Admin Devices:0 Online:0 Offline:0 So, as an ex IT tech i did what all good tech's do when they have no idea what the problem is: 'They start clicking all of the buttons randomly to see if anything productive happens!' And to my surprise i have found that one part of the system architect software is working fine. The 'Readdress Devices' section showed me that there is perfect comms between hardware and software, i instantly got the full listed table for the device: Address: 48541 Type:Crown Xti Description:(THIS FIELD IS BLANK!!!!!) ID:8E-17-B2-93-A9-4A Status:Detected I was able to reboot the xti using the button, I can also get the screen on the amp to flash using the auto locate button etc etc, so i have full comms only with the side of the program that deals with 'Readdressing'. And after all of this success the main program was still in a strange state of denial blindly telling me no devices were attached. So only part of the software recognises the Hardware!!! Here is what the error logs say for the non-functioning side of Sys Architect: DateTime Type Category Priority Name Details Address 1 15102009 Info Application Low Event Log (2.00.0.0) Log started: 27970 2 15102009 Info Application Low New data directory Creating C:\ProgramData\HPRO\SystemArchitect\2.00.0.0 27970 3 15102009 Info Application Low LoadPreferences Creating new preferences file. 27970 4 15102009 Info Application Low AddressNegotiator Successfully negotiated device address 27970. 27970 5 15102009 Warning Device Low USB.SendMessageToDevice (vnd=4624,prd=2048)=-4[MsgSendToDeviceErrorHandler] 1 Then line 5 repeated again and again.......... I have read previous postings on the forum that the admin clearly stated this problem is due to the 'Description' field being left blank. Apparantly there is a fix for this that was sent via mail, but it was not posted on the forums. I was under the impression that the new version of Sys Architect had fixed detection issues - but i beg to differ! If you can send me the 'Old School' fix for this i would be greatly appreciative. Or if you want to make it an historical document on the forum for others with the same issue that coul be useful too. Many thanks, Magnus
Band Manager / Sys Architect will not recognise xti4000
magnusdogster posted a topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingHi all, I have a big problem with bandmanager and system architect failing to recognise my xti4000. At the moment i only have the one xti so i cannot do any side-by-side tests. I had tried all of the usual fixes, checking drivers, leads, connections etc etc and i already had firmware above the minimum. As a longshot i thought i would try and run a firmware upgrade, and to my total surprise the firmware software was able to communicate perfectly with the xti and performed a flawless installation. the xti rebooted and has since worked as it should. At the time i believed that any software glitches that could have been present with the older firmware would now be solved. I now have firmware version 188.8.131.52 on the xti4000 and i am using Band Manager 1.00.1 to connect. I had originally used a cleanly installed XP machine with SP2, and after a couple of frustrating months i have just gone through the whole process again with a new machine running Vista Home Premium (obviously both machines had .net 3.5 installed and any other additional software that the programs required to run) to have exactly the same issue! I have read through 'all' of the postings on this forum regarding this issue, i even tried disabling my wireless networks and having an ethernet connection running as per the fix for the earlier versions of Band Manager - but absolutely nothing will get the software and hardware to work properly. These are the 3 common errors showing in the Band Manager error logs when trying to detect the device: (vnd=4624,prd=2048)=31[MsgRcvFromDeviceErrorHandler]Closing Device(node=1). (vnd=4624,prd=2048)=-4[MsgSendToDeviceErrorHandler] (vnd=4624,prd=2048)=31[DeviceListChangedHandler.m_oHIDClient.OpenDevice] I see from other posts regarding this issue that a batch of xti's have had the same problem. The serial number on mine is 8001406642 and the date is 06/25/2007 - if this helps to identify. I would really like to get this working because it is an expensive piece of kit, and this is the difference between me buying more of your equipment in future or avoiding it like the plague. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Magnus
XTI USB Connectivity
magnusdogster replied to deltad2's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingI have had the same problems with my xti4000 not being recognised. My firmware was updated perfectly so there is not an issue with drivers/leads/connections etc but the Harmon software - Band Manager and Sys Architect refuses to communicate with the xti even after the firmware update. All versions of software are new and cleanly installed and i have tried this on 2 different PC's - one with a clean XP and one with a clean Vista. Magnus
Are 2 small amps better than 1 big one on subs?
magnusdogster replied to magnusdogster's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionSo, next question on the amplifier set-up: Is it better to run a single xti4000 as the dedicated Subs amp (and the other 4000 for the Mid/Tops), or due to the fact that they have switching power supplies would it be better to run a crossover on each amp so that only one channel per amp would be used for Bass and the other for the Mid/Tops. I am thinking that the setup in this way may utilize the available power more efficiently, and the peaks that are needed for heavy Bass notes would only be pulled 50% for each amp. I do not think that the Bridge mono and flipped channel 2 output (as described in the links above) would work with a switching amp, and could be very destructive according to some other posts i have read. This would only work on the older Macro Techs in the Crown range. So i will stick to the standard set-ups, and try and give my equipment the longest life possible. Thanks for the input Mitchiemasa - much appreciated
XTI USB Drivers - device cannot be discovered
magnusdogster replied to magnusdogster's topic in System Architect / HiQnet TroubleshootingHi Kevin, thanks for getting back to me. My Firmware number is now showing as exactly # 22.214.171.124 after going through the upgrade at the weekend. I have brought home a works XP laptop to see if this will be more accomodating with the Amp. I will let you know the result. Regards, Magnus The Laptop died a death, black screens etc - so what is your next idea?
XTI USB Drivers - device cannot be discovered
magnusdogster replied to magnusdogster's topic in System Architect / HiQnet Troubleshooting1 - I tried to use the Firmware upgrade file to see if i could get to the XTI usb driver, but the .s file extension can only be read by the cloader program (Failed) 2 - I used the Cloader program and ran a full Firmware upgrade, the amp did everything it was supposed to and the connection between PC and amp was perfection in digital communication (success) 3 - Closed Cloader when the amp had rebooted and 'DSP OFF' showing on the LCD front panel, as instructed (success) 4 - Opened Band Manager, no devices found (Failed again) 5 - Uninstalled and re-installed Band Manager, no devices found (Failed again) 6 - Re-installed Sys Architect, no devices found (Failed again) Failed Again!!! So to sum up things up: I have spent hours of my life trying to use this software on my PC. One piece of the Harmon Software is able to recognize the Amp instantly (Cloader Firmware upgrade), where all of the other pieces of Harmon Software do not. The PC had a fresh install of XP last week after reformatting, and has been updated completely with all the official licensed Microsoft products. I do not use a USB hub, there are only 2 other USB ports being used (mouse and Keyboard), all specifications for loading the Harmon Software have been met or exceeded. At the moment i am even contemplating installing Parallels and then XP on to my Macbook in an attempt to get this going. My final point on this matter: For the love of God will someone please tell me where i can find the correct USB driver for an XTI amp so my PC will communicate with it Thank you
XTI USB Drivers - device cannot be discovered
magnusdogster replied to magnusdogster's topic in System Architect / HiQnet TroubleshootingAnd before anyone asks - "Yes" my serial number for the Amp is above the stated 800129400 so i should not have to update the firmware for the Sys Architect to communicate. Also as a note there is XP with SP2 on the machine and it meets all requirements for spec (.net 3.5 / Ram etc) I have just seen that there is a potential USB Driver in the folder that is downloaded for the 'Firmware Upgrade' so i will see if i can download this and then specify the file when installing the device again. Hmmmm

The video shows the places where the navy commandos killed the terrorists and red flags have been hoisted to mark those places.
It also shows how the commandos fought the terrorists and reveals the building in which the miscreants took refuge.
A vehicle is also shown in the video which was attacked by the terrorists. Reportedly, it is the same vehicle which was used to evacuate the foreigners when the airbase was attacked.
The ISPR said that the driver of the vehicle managed to escape during the firing.

Ohia trees dying mysteriously
Thank you so much for your wonderful weekly article! Why do my ohia trees in Kalapana keep dying? Just here and there, in the surrounding forest, sometimes just a branch. They just turn brown and die. There are a lot of little brown beetles with long noses in the area.
This is a phenomenon that has been observed as far back as 1906. In the late 1960s, a major decline of ohias took place. In 1986, the USDA Forestry Service published a lengthy article on the subject http://www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications/documents/psw_gtr086/psw_gtr086.pdf
Recently, a number of calls have come into the CTAHR office reporting this same occurrence.
What you are seeing is not the result of a particular insect pest or fungal organism coming into the area and destroying the ohias. The decline is complex and not totally understood. Here is a possible scenario:
A catastrophic event occurs, a fire, lava flow, or perhaps a hurricane and wipes out a stand, a group, of ohias. New seeds are blown in from adjacent stands, and a new forest begins. The point here is that all the trees are of the same age. These trees grow up and become old. Old age itself does not kill the trees, but in this condition, they are not as vigorous as they once were and are more susceptible to stress factors.
Eventually, a stress will come such as a prolonged period of rain; poor draining soils will compound the problem. Another stress is long term drought conditions. Other factors may include vog, low soil nutrients, bulldozers and perhaps dense stands of invasive species. These stresses alone may cause some type of decline. But what usually happens in the next phase is the invasion of a root rotting fungus or perhaps a tree boring beetle. Fungal organisms are often found infecting the roots of declining trees but are not thought to be the primary cause.
Ohia trees do not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Dieback is especially common in high rainfall areas with underlying heavy clay soils or pahoehoe lava. Tree decline around home sites may come as a result of some type of mechanical tree injury, chiefly the bulldozer. Other than direct injury, bulldozers are a tremendous weight and will compact the soil, especially when it is wet.
Young ohia trees can grow well for many years on shallow soils. Eventually, decline may set in when they become large trees, and the shallow soil simply cannot support their growth, particularly under drier conditions.
Recently, the high rainfall received in the fall/winter generated a stressful environment, i.e. a saturated soil, which was favorable for the development of root rotting fungi. Then, with a diminished root capacity, the trees began the year under dry weather conditions — a double hit and one causing much decline.
One last note: younger, healthy ohia trees have been observed growing in areas where older trees are declining. This indicates that it is not a root rotting fungus alone that is killing the trees, but rather other factors, such as age and water logged conditions, are involved.
For more information on ohias and other native trees go to traditionaltree.org
What can be done?
Not much. If the property contains several older ohia trees, plant some young ones to diversify the age group. Keeping the trees health is important; fertilize if needed. It is impractical to water a stand of ohia trees during a drought, but watering a few trees around the house may be feasible.
Mahalo to Brian Bushe and JB Friday who are with UH CTAHR for the information they have provided.
In regards to last week's article about bananas, I may have misunderstood part of one question. With respect to the flesh of bananas being tough even when ripe, the writer of that question may have been referring to one of the cooking bananas called plantains. Their flesh remains bland with a starchy texture even though the peel has turned yellow. I will discuss plantains in a future article.

No one can accuse Tammy or Ted Beede, owners of Two Friends Consignment in Dutzow, of being dishonest.
Back in December 2011, Ted Beede made headlines when he returned $4,000 cash that he found stuffed inside a wing chair that he had purchased at a local auction.
Just two weeks ago, Tammy Beede did much the same thing when she returned $300 cash that she found lying on the ground near the bar at an auction led by Bob Andel of Robertsville Auction.
It was Monday night, April 8, and Tammy Beede said she had gone to the bar area to purchase an iced tea when she thought she dropped something from her purse. She bent down, picked it up and stuffed it into her purse.
Later when she saw that it was three $100 bills, she realized pretty quickly it didn't belong to her, so she took it straight to the cashier expecting someone would come looking for it.
She was right. The next day Andel received a call from Terry at Four Seasons Florist in Downtown Washington, another regular auction-goer, to say he had lost "a wad of money," had anyone turned it in?
"We all know each other at these auctions," Terry told The Missourian. "We all go to these over and over — I know half of the people at these auctions personally.
"So I knew if it was an auction person who found it, they would turn it in."
Jensen could verify the amount of cash and number of bills, so Andel returned the found cash to him.
Beede said she never once considered keeping the cash as a lucky find.
"I believe you should do good things," she said. "I believe in paying it forward.
"I was raised to do the Christian thing, and in no way could I have kept that money and felt good about it.
"It wasn't my money," she said flatly.
Andel said it makes him feel good too to have these kinds of people as customers.
"It's one of those nice things you like hearing about," he said.
Terry, too, said it reaffirms his faith in people, but that he always knew auction-goers are a pretty honest bunch.

Greek officials have reaffirmed support of the Turkey-Greece-Italy natural gas pipeline, calling it the most mature of three competing plans to cross the country. A statement released Friday by the Greek ministries of foreign affairs and energy voiced strong support for Interconnector Turkey-Greece-Italy, which, if fully realized, would transport up to 11 billion cubic meters of mostly Azeri gas to southern Europe, the Italian news agency ANSA reported. It is backed by Italian energy giant Edison S.p.A. and Greece\'s state-owned gas utility DEPA. \"The Greek government steadily and consistently supports the plan to complete the ITGI pipeline,\" the official statement said. \"We believe that the project in question will contribute decisively to the given European need to diversify energy sources and routes, while it is undoubtedly the most advanced plan in terms of studies and permits.\" ITGI is one of three gas pipeline proposals routed through Greece that seek to supply Europe with gas culled from Azerbaijan\'s Shah Deniz II fields in the Caspian Sea. Its competitors using a Greek segment include Russian\'s South Stream proposal and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline from Switzerland\'s EGL Group, Norway\'s Statoil and Germany\'s E.ON Ruhrgas. ITGI is also competing against the Nabucco proposal (through Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania) in a bid to supply European customers with an alternative to Russian natural gas. Greece is hoping to land significant amounts of much-needed economic development through the building of a \"Southern Corridor\" pipeline connecting Europe to Azerbaijan, and last week\'s statement indicated that Athens believes the ITGI line \"secures greater investments within Greece.\" The Greek ministries said the others are still being \"monitored\" and \"evaluated\" with interest but noted neither of those proposals had matured sufficiently for specific agreements to be signed, ANSA reported. The ITGI proposal includes two parts. The 370-mile overland Interconnector Greece-Italy pipeline would stretch to the Ionian Sea, where a 125-mile, undersea pipe – known as the IGI Poseidon -- would connect western Greece to Italy\'s Salento Peninsula. Athens\' reaffirmation to the ITGI pipeline came as a Greek non-governmental organization also identified it the most advanced gas project of the three. The Institute of Energy for Southeast Europe said Monday its team of \"20 independent scientists and business executives\" had determined the pipeline was \"the most mature pipeline project of the South Corridor in terms of licensing and financing.\" The group said it used \"15 specific criteria including economic viability, the degree of preparedness of each pipeline in terms of implementation, as well as the added value for Greece\" in reaching its conclusions. Russia\'s South Stream, it said, provided little opportunity to diversify the gas stream to Central and Eastern Europe, a major requirement for backing by the European Union, and also lacked \"substantial information regarding the progress of the realization of the project.\" TAP, meanwhile, is comparable to ITGI in terms of Greek employment in the construction phase but Greece is only a transit country for the project, whereas ITGI would involve \"substantial investments\" in western Greece both during construction and later during operations. Azerbaijan Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov has also identified ITGI as the most advanced Southern Corridor pipeline project. But he told The Wall Street Journal in December its status was being hurt by financial crises in Greece and Italy, raising concerns about future natural gas demand in those countries.
