NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BrightLine, the lead innovator of rich media solutions on TV, today announced that their advertiser and publisher clients can now employ research solutions from Millward Brown Digital, a leader in measuring advertising effectiveness, to understand how BrightLine's UXTV™ connected TV ad products impact key brand health metrics like brand affinity and purchase intent.
The collaboration leverages Millward Brown Digital's AdIndex® to measure ads on connected TV, an important capability for the connected TV ad ecosystem to continue its accelerating ascent into mainstream usage. Available for UXTV™ connected TV ads, marketers can now measure ad effectiveness beyond the existing robust set of real-time digital analytics via surveys served directly to viewers on their TV screens. For content owners delivering to connected TV, this means being able to validate the impact of ads, to prove performance and price inventory accordingly.
"We are thrilled to include AdIndex® in our existing UXTV™ campaign performance metrics, measuring effectiveness beyond click data," said BrightLine CXO Robert Aksman. "Partnering with Millward Brown Digital allows us to show clients ad effectiveness inclusive of brand lifts and purchase intent and develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between ad engagement and resulting consumer actions."
This milestone is particularly important as television viewing behavior has dramatically shifted and continues to shift with the accelerating growth and adoption of connected TV. Currently, more than 3 out of 5 U.S. broadband households have a connected TV in their home1 and according to the NPD Group, by 2015 there will be 202 million connected TV devices in the U.S. (up from 140 million in 2013)2.
"With the 'appification' of television now clearly underway, BrightLine's innovative ad products paired with our ad effectiveness insights are key to unlocking the space's monetization potential for publishers," said Michelle Eule, SVP, Ad Effectiveness Solutions from Millward Brown Digital.
With the only rich media solution built explicitly for television, based on 10+ years of viewer behavior data with TV interactivity, BrightLine's UXTV™ ad product suite allows marketers and agencies to enhance their TV strategy and exploit the rapidly evolving capabilities of today's connected TV, not the least of which begins with deep, engaging interactivity and real-time optimization, but now includes integration with popular social networks, next-generation voice and gesture control, and commerce. BrightLine clients can run a single ad creative across the array of connected TV devices, consoles, set-top boxes, and televisions.

Hey, my name's Dan Rosa. I'm a college kid having some fun with satire. Check out my site: thewhitehouseplumber.blogspot.com. Thanks!
Some of your best work will never be properly recognized until you make it big, that's just the way life works. If your writing was really good, you could kill yourself and then let people "discover' how great you were lol.
I suggest reading Norman Chad of the Washington Post. He's HILARIOUS!!! Also, Stephen A. Smith, and of course; Tony Kornheiser.
Dude, that article wrote itself. The only way to get better is to read what the top writers are doing. So depending on what you want to write about, check out the leaders in that specific community and see how they write. It'll help you get better.
BTW- I really liked that Blogger story. Funny stuff like that will get you more views. Just market yourself correctly and the views will start flying in. I'm up to like 80-100 views, but the goal is 10,000.
Yeah, headlines can be tricky on B/R sometimes with character limits and trying to get full names and whatnot.
What about something like "Kevin Durant Only Oklahoma City Thunder Player to Quit Day Job," or something along those lines? It gets more keywords in the headline and gets them in early, which is really helpful for people finding the story when they search Google News, etc. No big deal either way, though.

Emporio Armani Response:Armani runs as a contemporary fit. Our suggestion would be to try a 36DD. If you have a fuller cup, this maybe is a better fit for you.
Rebecca from Hocking Hills, OH, US
HerRoom Response: Appreciate this feedback.
Laura from Cary, NC USA
HerRoom Response: We appreciate your feedback. This is a demi or balconnet bra which means it does not cover the entire breast. If your breasts tend to be full (versus a little hollow on the top), a bra like this will tend to create an indention along your breasts.
Tomima - we do state that this bra has no lining or padding. I can send to the vendor if you would like. Devon

Jeff Blackstonwrote a review of Bell Array Helmet on February 25, 2013
Favorite Bell!
The Array isn't the lightest out there, but in terms of fit, appearance and price point, it is hard to beat. The silver/lime is a nice color option, too! I would definitely recommend the Array, and plan to buy the same helmet again in the coming months.

I had planned to bring you more information, stories, anecdotes, what-have-you about the exciting transition process as an "off-campus" junior living in Kalamazoo and waiting for spring quarter to begin. I went to Kalamazoo a few weeks after returning home and found an apartment with one of my best friends. We went to my favorite Indian restaurant that I'd been craving the whole time I was abroad, and we saw my favorite comedian live at the State Theatre downtown. It was fun to finally be at this stage in our K careers as I've always looked forward to finding my own place and I know I have great housemates. We planned to move in two weeks after signing our lease.
Then I got caught in northern Michigan's epic March blizzard. We got nearly two feet of snow overnight and the power stayed out for four days. We had to dig paths through the heavy snow to get to my furniture and traipsed through the freezing wonderland to pack all my furniture and necessities… and then I came down with mono. This spring hasn't been shaping up the way I'd envisioned since before study abroad! Fortunately, the timing is just right. I wasn't thrilled about the gap of time between study abroad and heading back to campus and starting classes, but it turned out for the best, I suppose. I have had just enough time to feel like myself again and I still have five more days to recover while everyone else is on spring break. Last year we got a group together and went skiing in Utah – I probably couldn't handle that this spring! Instead I've been lounging and looking forward to classes, ordering textbooks, and trying to remember what it was like to attend "real" classes.
Next weekend I'll get a chance to finally, finally, finally move into my very own first apartment. Did I mention that my housemate has been waiting all month for a couch and a kitchen table? Whoops. Apart from just setting up our place and seeing everyone, I can't wait to be in Kalamazoo in general. The Mall is beautiful in the nice weather, and I just found the Kal-Haven trail last spring, which is actually quite close to campus. Hopefully the after effects of mono won't linger too long so I can bike! It will be nice to study on a blanket on the quad and meet all the first years. I'll feel like the new kid, which is odd to think about, but I'm ready.

Pipeline, Hawaii-The 2003 ASP title race couldn't have ended any more dramatically. For Andy Irons, the day concluded riding the shoulders of friends across the beach. For Kelly Slater, a dejected solo session at Pipeline cleared his head.
Andy Irons made history today, winning for the second consecutive year the ASP World Championship Tour title, the Triple Crown title, and the Pipeline Masters title. The final day of competition got underway this morning, beginning with round three of the Xbox Gerry Lopez Pipeline Masters. At 12 noon, the decision was made by Triple Crown Contest Director Bernie Baker to hold all remaining rounds of competition. By five o'clock, Irons was being rushed up the beach by friends and family members, having repeated his amazing feat of winning all three titles in Hawaii.
With surf in the six-foot range (on the face), Irons had to surf through four heats to victory, meeting tour leader Kelly Slater in the final. On opposite ends of the bracket, the two surfers knew that it would come down to a showdown in the final, and one of the most dramatic years in ASP history did not disappoint in the end. Irons and Slater paired off with Australians Joel Parkinson and Phil McDonald in the final to decide the world title.
With consistent waves coming through at Backdoor all day, the surf allowed some amazing performances, not the least of which was Aussie dark horse, Phil McDonald's ride to the finals, piggybacking Slater through three heats to make it in the end.
Meanwhile, Parkinson surfed masterfully to earn a finals berth, and by the end of his semifinal heat, it appeared as though Parko would play spoiler. Living up to this billing, Parko took second, giving Slater a difficult time in the final by blocking him on a potentially high-scoring wave. "I've come to expect that from Parko," said Slater. "I know because I free surf with him all the time.
Throughout all rounds of competition, Slater had been exercising a unique strategy, opting not to surf the more consistent rights at Backdoor, instead surfing the bigger and more unruly waves at Gums (near Ehukai Beach Park) by himself. "The house I'm staying at is right there in front of Gums, and I just watched it all day," said Slater. "I noticed that a lot of good waves were coming through, and I knew I could pick off some scoring waves." The strategy was sound through the quarterfinals and semis, but when Slater failed to secure a high scoring wave at the beginning of the finals, it became clear his strategy needed to change.
Irons, on the other hand, fought through paralyzing cramps and difficulty with his surfboards to pick off the best rights coming through at Backdoor, racking up a high combination of scores midway through the heat. Breaking three boards throughout the day's competition, Irons had to make numerous trips to the beach throughout the competition. What's more, Irons became dehydrated by day's end, and could barely swim out to the lineup. "I forced him to drink water," said Irons' mother, Danielle. "And fed him bananas. As a mother it was scary to watch my son have to go through that. But we're happy for him in the end."
For both surfers, months' worth of anxiety came to a head in the final. Compounding the difficulty was the fact that the contest was held with four man heats, differing from the typical two man heat that the surfers are used to. "It gives you a lot more to deal with when you're out in the water," said Slater. "It's not as easy to know what kind of mental state your competitor is in."
The victory meant the end to a tumultuous year both personally and professionally for both surfers. "I never ever thought I could do this," said Irons, of repeating last year's sweep of World Title, Triple Crown and Pipe Masters Championships. "It's the type of stuff I dreamed of as a kid, and now I get to live it, which is amazing."
For Slater, who took the stage to announce Irons as the 2004 World Champion, the year was marked by triumph, despite the fact that he ultimately came up short. "I think this was one of the best years of my career," said Slater. "Whether or not I won this event."
At day's end, Slater paddled over to Irons in the lineup, embraced him and dove underwater, but not before he imparted some final thoughts on what has undoubtedly been one of the most exciting ASP years in history. "He said it was one of the raddest days of his career, and for me to hear that was the biggest compliment. I've never had such a close title race, and I've never tried so hard."–Brad Melekian

Laura Muir can now turn her thoughts to the prospect of a Hampden treble after underlining her form in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games by breaking the Scottish 1500 metres record at the Diamond League meeting in Paris on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old pulled out an astonishing late sprint to deliver a time of 4 minutes and seven-hundredths of a second, still only enough for sixth place in a high-quality field but sufficient to erase Yvonne Murray's 1987 mark from the books and to move up to fifth in the UK's all-time rankings at the distance.
"I just thought it was the perfect opportunity to run a fast race," she said. "If I'd got a personal best, I'd have been happy. That's two seconds off. Four minutes was so close. But I wasn't aiming for sub-4 at the moment so I'm delighted. Records are meant to be broken but medals will stay with you forever. My aim is for championships but to get a time like that, I'm so happy."
Loading article content
Muir will now revert to the 800 metres for the Sainsbury's Glasgow Grand Prix where she is slated to take on fellow Scot Lynsey Sharp on Saturday. With the European champion fresh from breaking the two-minute barrier for the first time, it promises to be a landmark battle.
"I don't know if we've ever raced before," said Muir. "I came on the scene last year when she was out injured so it's funny it's happening now on such a big stage. But that will be good. The race is going to be very competitive. And maybe the crowd won't know who to cheer for but it's great to see Lynsey right up there."
Muir's scything of over a second from the existing Scottish best earned praise from Liz Lynch who was just behind Murray when the pair duelled for supremacy in Oslo 27 years and one day earlier. "About time," the former world champion declared. And Scottish Athletics head coach Stephen Maguire believes it is now impossible to under-state the prospective accomplishments.
"Laura runs with an openness and fluidity and who knows what's possible now?" he said. "She's fifth in the UK all-time list and she's got the Scottish record. Rivals around the world certainly know who Laura Muir is."
Elsewhere in Paris, Eilish McColgan confessed to a lack of race fitness after fading during the closing stages of the 3000m steeplechase to end up in 13th.
Alysson Felix, also Glasgow-bound this week, showed she is almost recovered from a hamstring problem by coming second to Blessing Okagbare in the 200m while Asbel Kiprop, gearing up for a tilt at the world 1500m record in Monaco in two weeks time, produced the fastest 800m this year of 1:43.34 in a high-quality field.

Long Range Planning
Urban Design
Urban Design is a focus within the larger realm of planning that emphasizes the physical form of the city and its visual and other sensory qualities. Excellence in urban design maintains and enhances the special "place-making" qualities of a city that provide its sense of identity. Urban Design emphasizes attractiveness as well as function, the appearance of buildings and how they are arranged as well as setbacks and parking requirements, and special care for the design and furnishing of public streets and other public spaces.
Lincoln, Nebraska's distinct sense of place is strengthened through the City's active historic preservation program, which researches, designates, and celebrates landmarks and districts. The Historic Preservation Commission works with neighborhood groups, preservation advocates, property owners, and the State Historical Society to discover, protect, and share the community's heritage. In addition, the state and city together have recognized the special importance of the State Capitol building by establishing the Nebraska Capitol Environs Commission which is responsible for reviewing the design of buildings and public spaces in a defined area radiating out from the Capitol building.
The City has recognized certain other defined areas that deserve and receive special attention. The Downtown Design Standards express the community's expectations for new buildings and building alterations in the traditional central business district and nearby areas to the east (Antelope Valley) and west (Haymarket and environs). The Neighborhood Design Standards apply to new construction in the city's older (pre-1950) residential areas, and are intended to ensure that infill and redevelopment projects are generally compatible with the established character of these neighborhoods. The Annotated Version of Neighborhood Design Standards is provided to aid understanding and provide interpretation to specific areas.
The Planning Department staffs the Urban Design Committee, a volunteer citizen group that advises city departments and the Mayor on designs proposed for city buildings and other types of city-funded projects, and for private buildings and projects that are constructed with the city's financial assistance.

EUR/USD (a 4-hour chart)
Fed thinks about the future of QE3. It is still too early to reduce the ongoing Federal Reserve program that stimulates the economy of the country. This position was voiced by John Williams. Speaking at a meeting of the Council for Economic Development of Sonoma County, Dzh.Uilyams noted that we cannot to speak about this program cutting as it redeems $85 billion of bonds monthly.
We expect meeting of the European Central Bank (ECB) on monetary policy on Thursday. We believe that the central bank will leave the key interest rates unchanged at 0.5%.
Meanwhile, the euro zone economic data is expected to support the continuation of recent trends: the production recovers from the minimums reached earlier this year and unemployment rates continue their steady growth.
It is predicted that the composite Purchasing Managers Index PMI will remain unchanged compared to the prior value, and the details of data again point to the growth of new orders. However, the optimism of companies in Germany is likely to remain subdued.

Scrawny saplings are in the ground in rows — apple, peach, avocado, tangerine — and a gardener says you may be able to pick fruit from these trees two years from now.
Landscaping tools are being packed up and locked up as a crew of three looks out at the school playground swing set they've disassembled. The equipment is to go up on Craigslist for sale.
Proceeds are aimed at ensuring that the fruit trees thrive on an acre or so of land near Fifth Avenue and L Streets in Chula Vista, near the youth center. Dozens of 12´-by-4´ garden plots are being prepared.
"It's not about food," says Jorge Garcia, pastor of the Gracia y Paz Covenant Church in Chula Vista, where this long-neglected church-owned land is turning into the Mosaic Community Garden. "It's about people…. The kids don't even know where their food comes from."
Irrigation trenches have been dug by the crew of construction-industry interns that will be preparing as many as 65 over the next few weeks.
The playground on the far west side — with slides and a jungle gym and matting on the ground that cushions falls — will remain.
A hardy cluster of kale sprouts from a disused plot are ready for rehabilitation. Two scarecrows lie face up nearby.
The garden is on land that was once the field and playground for a primary school operated by the previous owner, the South Bay Baptist Church. "This was full of weeds," said Garcia, surveying the land.
Now, aside from being a vegetable and flower garden, a playground for kids, and a community gathering place, the garden is to be a "living laboratory" that exposes students to (among other things) computer-aided agriculture, said Mosaic gardener Judy Jacoby.
A grant from the San Diego Foundation enabled Mosaic to purchase sensors that measure air and soil temperatures, humidity levels, ground moisture, general soil conditions, sunlight, and so on — data to be analyzed for creating optimal conditions for growth and yield.

iFixIt's carli observes that there's a major downside to the fad of ultraslim form factors and packaging seamlessness; you often can't replace a device's battery yourself since it's nearly impossible to tear apart or open up.
carli says, and I strongly agree, that it runs counter to common sense to own a battery-powered device that doesn't allow you to replace the batteries quickly and easily—and that goes for computers, tablets, smartphones and lesser devices. We do ourselves no favors by settling for expensive electronics with batteries that can't be removed and replaced. carli notes that these products might look great, but when it comes to batteries, recycling, and reuse, there are big problems.
One is that strong adhesive is the growing trend in slim electronics, with the consequence being batteries are that much more difficult to recover and replace, even for tech professionals. As a result, many people confronted with a lifeless battery opt to toss out the device and move on. carli cites EPA estimates that 2.37 million tons of electronic products were eligible for end-of-life management in 2009, and of these products, only 25% were collected for recycling, the other three-quarters becoming part of the e-waste stream of some 400 million electronic units discarded annually.
Last year, iFixit gave the 15″ MacBook Pro with Retina Display a repairability score of 1 out of 10—its lowest ever. iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens called it "the least repairable laptop we've taken apart," arguing that consumers should choose the hackable, fixable non-Retina MacBook Pro over its sleeker-and-shinier-but-locked-down stablemate. Later in 2012, the 13″ MacBook Pro with Retina Display received a a slightly less disastrous 2 out of 10 repairability score.
Wiens concedes that on some level, the proponents of locked-down devices have a point; if something breaks, most computer owners won't grab a screwdriver, but rather take the machine to a specialist (who likely won't be able to fix it if its one of the new ultraslim, semi-sealed devices), or just pony up to replace it with a faster one.
Wiens argues that sending your difficult-to-repair computer off to a trained technician certainly doesn't protect you from the consequences of difficult-to-repair hardware, noting that about a third of computers break by the fourth year, and that AppleCare doesn't cover accidental damage, and only lasts up to three years in any case. Less or unrepairable designs guarantee that fixing stuff will be more expensive and complicated no matter who does it.
However, Wiens contends that an even bigger point is that the future of the planet depends on the quality of our electronic devices and how long they last, and that the way we're doing it now hurts people and permanently damages the environment, citing the devastating environmental and social impacts of hardware manufacturing and disposal. He says he's visited electronics scrapyards in Ghana where children burn electronics to mine them for raw materials, and has spent a lot of time studying the aftermarket of the consumer electronics industry, where repair, reuse, and material recovery happen, noting that, "There's no such thing as a completely green cell phone or computer." He points out that only a small fraction of electronics produced are recycled, usually ham-fistedly.
In Wiens' vision, an ideal world would be one in which technicians would continue to repair, salvage, and refurbish old hardware that would move on from owner to owner rather than being thrown in the trash, which is why he's eager to promote hardware that lasts and call out products that don't. "Its critically important that we fix things when they break," he maintains, urging consumers to demand products that aren't just light and thin, but can also stand the test of time, because our future depends on it.
Wiens' colleague carli notes notes that in a perfect world we would have devices designed from scratch to support battery replacement and that are sold with clear instructions on how to replace the dead battery (or ideally any broken part). This could radically cut down on the volume of electronic products choking our landfills, accounting for as much as 40% of the lead found there.
The fundamental problem is philosophical, or, viewed more cynically, a business strategy affecting how electronics products are imagined and designed. To wit: planned obsolescence. carli contends that if you own an electronic device, its battery should be yours to change—whether its an alarm clock, an e-reader, or an iPad—and that consumers should have the right to access information that will make their electronic gadgets more efficient and economical. And although corporations of course prefer us to purchase new items to replace our electronics every year, it's simply not ethical or financially viable to ditch our stuff when the newer model debuts.
An impractical ideal? No way. My late 13″ 2008 Unibody MacBook has an identical form factor to the current 13″ non-Retina MacBook Pro, and it has a user-replaceable battery, unlike its Pro-designated successor models, with which battery replacement requires a major teardown. In a more cutting edge context, the BlackBerry Z10 is a modern, slim device with a battery that's simple to remove and replace—an object lesson to its competitors, notably the iPhone.
It's time electronic device consumers read the riot act to Apple and other slimness-obsessed device manufacturers on this issue, demanding devices designed with disassembly and ease of repair or upgrading in mind. carli notes that the Germans are out in front in addressing this issue, with the President of the German Federal Environment Agency publicly backing a ban on built-in batteries.

Temperatures are expected to plunge as low as -11C in some areas of the UK.
Sky weather producer Joanna Robinson said: "Expect icy patches, with dense freezing fog an additional hazard, mostly over England and Wales.
"That fog may well give some travel disruption and will linger all day in places."
On its Twitter feed, Heathrow Airport said: "There may be some disruptions tomorrow morning (Wednesday) due to freezing fog tonight and tomorrow. Please check your flight status with your airline."
British Airways warned that flights out of all London airports could be affected.
The Met Office issued a severe weather warning for fog across much of South and Central England, which could persist throughout the day in the East.
"Visibility will reduce to below 100m in places and therefore the public should be aware of the risk of disruption to travel," it said.
In the north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland it warned that showers would bring an increased risk of ice on untreated surfaces.
The AA Special Operations Response Team said that the freezing temperatures and fog would make conditions particularly tricky for motorists.
"Not the greatest driving conditions tonight! pls #drivesafe & leave more room than usual to the car ahead," it said on its Twitter account.
The cold conditions come despite Britain being spared the worst of a brutal weather front dubbed the 'Beast from the East'
The sub-zero conditions are expected to give way to a bout of milder weather later in the week, bringing torrential rain and gales creating gusts of up to 70mph.
Four flood warnings - the second highest alert available - and 17 less serious flood alerts have been issued by the Environment Agency.
Sky weather presenter Isobel Lang said: "We are expecting an inch of rain in areas of the south, and possibly double that in higher areas, so that will obviously mean a risk of flooding."

this is really good :D I love pugs~ I like that you chose to do a close up on the pug's face.
I love the colors that you had used to draw the pug here, it makes it look all the more interesting! I also like its shiny chocolate-brown eyes and the expression on its face. It looks almost sad. The hints of purple on its fur is cool. 5/5 and favs.

Jason Werner's back is going under the knife again.
But this is good news, Coach Joe Tiller said Tuesday, while announcing that the junior linebacker will undergo surgery this week to remove a small fragment of loose bone that's "rubbing against a nerve."
"If they remove that," Tiller said, "he could be pain-free. So we look forward to that.
Article Continues Below
"He could make a fast recovery after this."
The news on tight end Kyle Adams is equally positive, after the junior underwent minor surgery on his knee last week.
"I don't think we'll have him this week but we'll have him next week," Tiller said.
Offensive guard Jared Zwilling is expected back this weekend after an ankle injury suffered in camp sidelined him for the first two games of the season.
The junior practiced Sunday.
He was projected as a starter toward the end of camp, but now might be worked back in slowly.
"It's really hurt him," Tiller said. "If those other guys go out there a couple games then all of a sudden they've separated themselves from you or vice versa and it makes it tough. I think he's got an up-hill battle here."
Junior Eric Hedstrom has been starting at the left guard position Zwilling had been slated to occupy.
Against Oregon, senior offensive tackle Sean Sester played 20-some snaps in reserve after missing the season opener against Northern Colorado.
Tiller said he hopes Sester will play 40 or more snaps against Central Michigan Saturday.
Wanting more
Tiller said its matchup with Oregon's elite secondary will benefit his new-look corps of wide receivers.
"I think it really helped them," Tiller said. "I think it's certainly
one of the better secondaries we've ever seen. I think playing against good competition helps you elevate your own game."
The Boilermaker coach singled out Desmond Tardy as having "grown up a lot" against the Ducks.
"I think that's the first time since he's been here that he really looked comfortable to me on the field," Tiller said of the fifth-year senior. "And I just hope that'll carry over now. You know, it's really his first playing time, extended playing time.
"And I think between he and Keith Smith, we've got two very capable inside receivers. And I think we need to get the ball to them even more."
The coach, though, is waiting for touted junior college transfer Aaron Valentin to announce his presence.
"I think he has way too much talent," Tiller said, "for the amount of productivity we're getting out of him right now."
Valentin has not yet caught a pass.
More to worry about
Whether Justin Siller will take another snap at quarterback this season remains to be seen.
But like with any trick, Tiller knows opponents now at least have one more thing to worry about after Purdue used the redshirt freshman QB-turned-running back for a handful of snaps under center Saturday.
"We may or may not do that again the rest of the year, but teams have to practice it now," Tiller said. "Oftentimes, it's a little chess game that you play.
"And sometimes some of the things that you do, you do simply because it forces your opponent to spend more time from a preparation point of view. Then they might get away from defending some of the basic things that you really are going to lead with in a game."

And I think you combine that sense of urgency with maturity and you get the type of performance we saw Saturday."
His team's offense vs. Oregon: "I thought the offense didn't play as well as they will play as they move along."
The offensive line's improvement from Week 1 to Week 2: "I made the comment to Coach (Danny) Hope, 'By the time we get to the Big Ten play, we've got a chance to have a pretty effective offensive line."

Re: Question about Bruckner..
Expand Messages
- Thank you everybody for your comments. I guess it clears a lot of
queries up about the man. I now have a more realistic picture of how
this man was. That he was not some kind of eccentric oddity that was a
religious fanatic from the countryside, and had few social skills.
Even so, he is fascinating to study..
- David,
Possibly you may be right. No matter, Bruckner had an amazing mind
and is to create such fine musical visions would indicate he was far
from "normal". I think the whole topic of Bruckner to be a
fascinating case study that has never been studied. I wonder if
there are any psychiartrists amongst the membership that could give
their professional opinion on Bruckner?

I feel it is long overdue that there was proper analysis of
Bruckner. For too long there are far too many stories of the man and
his supposed eccentricities. Often the anecdotes are taken out-of-
context to proove him as an oddity whereas I find the more I study
him, the more I find quite the opposite. For example, it often
regarded that Bruckner is timid or unsure. Certainly Bruckner was
careful to follow rules but listen to the opening passage of the last
movement of his 8th symphony - that is bold and confident. Also note
how Bruckner was careful to provide for himself a pension at an early
age. I find that Bruckner was fully aware that his music was very
different and to that end watchful of any suggessions as I am sure he
was fully aware of his calling and he was writing "for a later
time". Too much is made of his drerss sense. I do not think it is
because he was odd, rather that vanity and fashion had no interest to
him as opposed to his being "unaware". It is because he not
understood that he became labelled as "odd" rather than because he
was odd. It can also be argued where would Bruckner have found the
time to follow current whims and fancies bearing in mind his
collossal working hours outside of composing music.

- Dear David,
Thanks for stimulating such a worthy discourse, which has branched off
into many facets concerning this man whom we all have devoted much
time to.
Awhile ago (mainly late July-early September) I had posted much
regarding Bruckner the man and composer, as well as music. Perhaps you
may find some of the topics relate to your inquiry.
It is nice to think about why Bruckner did not do such things, but to
think about why he did what has been done, and all he did leave us may
be even more useful.
Bruckner was a devout Christian, living his life as a follower of
Christ and having the Word of God as a "light unto his path". This
cannot be separated from his actions and music. It is difficult
today, when there is so much secularism, and so much of the work of
men's hands today in the world, to understand this. And even more
difficult if one does not know personally a Christian. Bruckner was
unique, in fact we are all unique, gifted? very. But still a man as
all of us, his works only attest to the fact that here is a man in
history whose life was devoted to a purpose which happened to be
music, and whose music was meant to reach many people for many years.
We are not all first-rate composers or great writers or popular
statesman. But let us not forget that we all experience life on
life's terms and face together and much similarly what many call "the
human condition"; and that if one man is elevated to the status of
genius or "celebrity" it is mainly due to the fact that his/her life
was broadcasted for whatever reason to a wider audience.
Perhaps to look at this person as a servant of men is useful.
A great man said this after washing the feet of his friends and
followers, "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye
also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an
example, that ye should do as I have done to you "John 13:14-15,
Bruckner was quite familiar with the author of these words, Jesus Christ.
Bruckner and his mode of social life, dress mannerisms, etc. is
fascinating to look at, yet of course not to be overemphasized, in
light of Bruckner's heart, mind (reason), and yearnings of his soul.
For this we have his music, writings, and personal events of his life.
A nice proverb begins this next discussion, "The fear of the Lord is
the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility"Proverbs 15:33.
Humility, yet not ignorance, humility yet not foolishness, humility
yet strength. We honour this man today, while in his own time he was
often laughed at. For is not humility in the mind of the worldly man
often a sign of weakness of ignorance. No, as many here have stated
there was much intelligence here, astuteness, naivety perhaps but with
a purpose and always for a reason. We too often have the view that
Christians are simple minded followers of the herd, unable to think
for themselves. How different in Anton's case! How different in a
Christian such as C.S. Lewis's case, "Mere Christianity" a book by
this worthy Christian man, a case in point.
That he was very different from the Viennese world around him is no
surprise, that he could relate to children, young students, brahms as
well as Wagner, is also perfectly in harmony with his Christian faith.
Well perhaps his relations with women are another story...lol, and
certainly the writer of the great 5th does not sound like the writer
of a letter to the Emperor pleading safety from the darts of Hanslick.
Well as said before Anton was not perfect, Anton was a human being.
But it was a work in progress for Anton, as his music often was.
Bruckner thought opera too worldly, did not pay much attention to the
fashion sense. Drama, politics, vanity of speech and boastings, the
often heady works of his contemporaries, those lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God, all this was not at the fore of Bruckner's
life as man nor composer. From this we can think oh, then here you
paint the picture of a saint,all works and no grace, a man out of
touch with everyday life, a great composer yet maybe not all there in
his head. Hardly, for he enjoyed beer, good food, lived amongst
Christians as well as unbelievers, often strove to be established
financially, these things do not condemn the Christian, rather by
faith and grace we are saved. Bruckner instead was a flawed human
being, with one great difference!
"If any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed
away, behold all things are become new."
And his actions prove the great Christian principle which I sincerely
hope is not misunderstood, it merely states where Anton's priority and
hope and faith and yearing of the soul was and where it was not,
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that
is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and
the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the
world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will
of God abideth for ever." I John 2:15-17
Lastly, and in the hopes that I have not pushed the limits too far, is
Bruckner's dedication to his music. So admirable! Indeed a Christian
virtue, to be a good steward of what is given to you, to be faithful
and dedicated to a calling.
The symphonies and sacred music so much a part of his life, and maybe
this is because Bruckner either intuitively or through much reflection
or through a natural desire, undestood this was to be his message,
life's work. This again is in perfect relation to Bruckner the
Christian man. Anton taking to heart the parable of Christ's.
"For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country,
who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another
one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway
took his journey.
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the
same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had
received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one
went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long
time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five
talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold,
I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him,
Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithfull
over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou
into the joy of thy lord." And the same for the man with two talents ,
yet not for the man who hid his one talent. Matt 25: 14-26
Did not Bruckner invest his time in music theory, in making music to
praise God, in making symphonies which spoke so truly, deeply,
lovingly, and hopefully, in working on revisions so that the music
would reach as many ears as possible? Are these not signs of a
faithful servant of God,a faithful and persevering laborer for the
kingdom of his Lord? His life lived after the example of his dear Lord
Jesus? His message of faith, hope, and love, broadcast near, far and
wide, hushed and loudly, given to his fellow human beings.
Sincerely and best wishes to all,

Samini has announced a number of charity projects that he will be embarking on to climax his 10 th anniversary celebration in the music industry.
Samini, who is by far Ghana's most consistent dancehall artiste, has been able to maintain the standard he created some years back in the music industry.
After the release of hit songs upon hit songs, Samini is still counted as one of the best when it comes to dancehall music in Ghana.
According to Samini, celebrating such a milestone gives him the opportunity to give back to society in his own small way, adding 'It has become imperative that l undertake a project that would be beneficial to Ghanaians, and after very long research and consultations, I found something I am passionate about just the way I am about my music.'
He disclosed that his foundation, Samini Light A Million Lives, is a very ambitious project, aimed at distributing one million solar lanterns across the length and breadth of the country.
'It is important to take social responsibility to the next level where it becomes social investment. As a kid, I had always fancied the idea of using the sunlight to generate light so it is this childhood dream that led to this project,' he said.
Samini also disclosed his partnership Ecotect Green Limited, a company that has been contracted to establish a solar assembling plant in Ghana so that all the one million solar lanterns would be assembled in Ghana.
Samini stressed that he has also taken the initiative to create opportunities for people to learn how to become solar technicians so they could service all the lanterns in case they become faulty.
He said, 'This laudable project will require the support of corporate Ghana and all donor agencies.'
Emmanuel Samini, who hails from Wa in the upper West Region, was born in 1982 to Mr G.A Samini and Theresa Nusala.
He had his basic and primary education at Holy Family Basic School and then continued at St Margaret Mary Secondary School, Dansoman, for his secondary education.
He has lived in Dansoman since he was nine years and that was when he realised the singing potential in himself.
And now with just 10 years in the music industry in Ghana, he has won the admiration of most music critics in Ghana.
With just a number of albums to his credit, the name Samini is one of the commonest keywords on the lips of many music fans in Ghana.
He has featured on a lot of tracks with other musicians (both released and unreleased).
Samini has performed outside Ghana in countries like Canada, UK, Holland and Italy.
He has a whole 'signature tune' to himself 'Kpooi'.

Happy Black Friday everyone! I reached my Black Friday goal so I decided to pull out some of the new teas that came in this month, moraiwe sent me this during round two of Secret Pumpkin. This is such a fun fall themed tea, thank you for sending it to me.
I wish I would have tried this before I placed my order last night because I really enjoyed this. The round two theme was fall and I would say moraiwe nailed this perfectly, this absolutely reminds me of fall. It tastes somewhat like a less sweet version of the apple cider I buy from our local orchard for my husband. This really appeals to me because the main reason I don't care for apple cider is that I find it to be overly sweet. This I can sweeten just a little bit if I'm in the mood for something sweet or drink it as is, either way it was enjoyable.
I love that this has a green rooibos base since I prefer it over red rooibos, I just wish it resteeped better. I tried a second steep, but it was really watery and I dumped it out. This wasn't entirely unexpected, I find that many rooibos blends are good for one steep only.

Yes. Look at the definition of %% and ||: True && x = x False && _ = False True || _ = True False || x = x The second argument of && or || won't be evaluated if the first determines the result. And this brings you back to the point made by Lennart and others about why foldl is the wrong choice: foldl won't allow you to take advantage of this short-circuiting. Write out a few steps of each type of fold if you don't understand why. Note, I wouldn't call r an accumulator: it's just the rest of the fold (which, as you've pointed out, only needs to be evaluated if you don't already know the result). Since writing the above, I've realised that the second argument of the foldr most certainly shouldn't be True. One might be able to argue that False would be more correct, but really it's irrelevant since we know we'll never reach the end of the list of primes. What I found most surprising was that replacing True with undefined made the calculation about 10% faster (GHC 6.4.2, amd64): > primes :: [Int] > primes = 2 : filter isPrime [3,5..] where > f x p r = x < p*p || mod x p /= 0 && r > isPrime x = foldr (f x) undefined primes Comparing this to DavidA's solution: At least on my platform, testing (x < p*p) is significantly quicker than using quotRem/divMod. I suspect quotRem actually requires the division to be performed twice, and multiplication is faster than division.

Kealakekua Bay kapu
Starting Wednesday, Kealakekua Bay is closed for business to kayaks, standup paddlers and boogie boarders.
When the bay reopens, kayakers, even locals using their own kayaks, will need a permit to enter the bay.
The Department of Land and Natural Resources announced an indefinite moratorium for the bay, prohibiting any vessels from launching from Napoopoo Pier or Kaawaloa Flats. Drift-in vessels and the Fair Winds tours will be allowed to continue to operate in the bay, a DLNR official said.
DLNR Chairman William Aila cited the bay's cultural and historical significance in announcing the closure, but kayak tour operators said the real impetus behind the moratorium was a decision to shut down illegal vendors at Napoopoo Pier.
"The only way they can do this (they think) is closing the bay down to all small craft," Adventures in Paradise owner Geoff Hand said Wednesday. "According to the chairman, they're going to have DOCARE officers watching the bay for X number of months."
DLNR spokeswoman Deborah Ward said Aila was out of the office Wednesday. She declined to comment on the department's enforcement plans, but said penalties would adhere to departmental policies.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie transferred management of the bay to the Parks Division, Deputy Director Curt Cottrell said. He said he could not say exactly how long the moratorium would last, in part because officials didn't want to give illegal vendors that information. Cottrell said the drift-in vessels would get special use permits to allow them in the bay.
The department decided to include standup paddleboards and boogie boards in the moratorium because they were concerned illegal kayak vendors would try renting those items at the bay. Cottrell said the department wasn't as worried about surfboards, because officials didn't envision tourists wanting to paddle on a surfboard across the bay.
Snorkeling and swimming will be allowed, department officials said. The trail to Kaawaloa will remain open, as well.
Cottrell said yearlong permits will be available online for Hawaii residents for a nominal fee. The department has not yet set that fee.
The department has appreciated the licensed tour operators, Cottrell said, and they don't want to hurt them. The land board did reissue three permits, with a start date to be determined. But the illegal activity is damaging the bay and Kaawaloa Flats, he said.
"One of our most sacred and historical places has been abused," Cottrell said.
Attempts to reach companies that lead snorkeling tours in the bay were unsuccessful Wednesday. Hand said he attended the last two Board of Land and Natural Resources meetings and despite what the DLNR spokeswoman said, the board's intent was to allow vessels with U.S. Coast Guard permits to continue operating.
DLNR officials told him and other kayak tour vendors the closure would last one to three months, Hand said. When the bay opens again, the legally permitted vendors will get renewed permits, he added.
"DOCARE has let this go for seven years," Hand said. "We're a little bit skeptical of them being the watchdogs."
Hand only has permits to operate at Kealakekua and Puako bays. He has petitioned the Division of Boating and Ocean Resources for permission add tours at Kailua Bay or out of Honokohau Harbor.
"Three months might put me out of business," Hand said. "One month, we might be able to survive."

Hi Dwaine,
Thanks again for reporting this issue. This was fixed in our latest sources.
Thank you,
When creating a SQL Agent step using the SSIS subsystem, adding a configuration entry with an UNC path is successful. Since adding an invalid path is impossible and raises an error, the user is lead to believe that path validation is occuring at configuration time and so a correct (and accepted) file UNC is a valid configuration. At run time, however, behavior is far from expected. You must manually change the /REPORTING E parm to a V(erbose) to see the confusing runtime issues. First, the job step runs and completes if the configuration settings in the original package are usable, but data may be coming from unexpected (e.g., develpment environment) sources without warning. Closer inspection of the resulting logs reveals the following: 1) DTExec ignores the UNC path entry, but it's presence in the configuration causes the attempt to use either the default server config path OR the config path used in the develpment environment if configured. 2) Even though the configured UNC file is not used AND the attempted config file is not present, the package raises no warnings or errors and continues to run using it's original configuration when deployed from BIDS.
Please wait...

A good rainy morning to all our readers. We hope everyone had a good Easter Sunday. The weather was great for an egg hunt and a cook out.
We send get-well wishes to all the sick, the ones in the hospitals, and the nursing homes. May you be up and about real soon.
Our sympathy to all who have lost loved ones. May God bless you in your time of sorrow. Our thoughts are with you.
We say welcome to our new residents.
This news from the desk of Fae Pruett. Evelyn Witchey and Fae had their Easter dinner at the Sonshine Café. Fae came back and spent the evening with Howard and Dale Thomas and a number of family members.
No other news turned in so not much to write about and our family didn't have an Easter dinner that I know of. Naomi had to work and the rest I don't know what they did. Naomi and Jacob Watkins spent most of the day on Monday with Norma Jones. Naomi was sick so I hope she is better at this writing. If you have news, just let us know. There is a container in the activity room to put your news in.
My tulip bed sure looks sick. I got one flower left. The rasberry vine is starting to bloom, so maybe I will have some berries if I can beat the birds to them. The iris are in bloom now. We always called them flags. I have some white ones.
Have a good week and stay healthy.
Jesus loves you.

Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins Franchises Coming To South Africa
U.S.-based ice-cream and doughnut franchisor Dunkin Brands plans to open up to 100 Baskin-Robbins franchises in South Africa and also launch a Dunkin' Donuts chain, according to a report in BusinessDayLive.
South Africa's growing market and population profile represent an untapped opportunity since there is not much competition in the hard-scoop ice cream and ice cream cake markets, said Jeremy Vitaro, Dunkin' Brands vice-president of international development.
"In South Africa, ice cream is primarily known within the confines of supermarkets," Vitaro said. "This is a big…opportunity designed to suit regional and master franchising."
Seeking growth in emerging markets and their burgeoning middle class, Baskin-Robbins has a presence in more than 50 countries outside the U.S. including India, China and Russia.
The South African ice-cream market will be worth about $339 million this year, according to research company Datamonitor, the report said.
Ola South Africa, a division of Unilever, and Dairymaid-Nestlé have the biggest market share in South African ice-cream. Häagen-Dazs has five stores in South Africa and its ice creams are sold at retailers.
Nasdaq-listed Dunkin' Brands is in the process of recruiting franchisee partners to develop the Baskin-Robbins brand in South Africa. "We will be very involved from an operations, training, supply chain and field perspective," Vitaro said.
Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein are being targeted for the first openings with the first store opening in 2014. Eighteen months after the roll-out of Baskin-Robbins, the plan is to launch Dunkin' Donuts.
Dunkin' Brands has about 473 Baskin-Robbins ice-cream parlors in India through a franchise agreement with Graviss Group. It also has three Dunkin' Donuts stores in India, and hopes to open up to 100 over the next five years.
Kahala Corp., one of the U.S.'s largest franchising companies, is also eyeing Africa through its Cold Stone Creamery ice-cream brand, the report said. It opened a store in Nigeria in September after signing a master franchise agreement with Ivybridge Trading and hopes to open nine more in the next five years.
Baskin Robbins has introduced more than 1,000 flavors since it was founded in 1945 including Strawberry Millefeuille, Wild 'n Reckless Sherbert and Peppermint Fudge Ribbon.

The Bhikkhus Rules
A Guide for Laypeople
Wrongly Receiving Gifts
When a bhikkhu receives a general (i.e., non personal) gift, there are two rules to guard against his misdirecting it. (When a bhikkhu actually steals something it is an offence of Defeat. See Stealing.)
The first of these rules arose when a guild was preparing to make an offering of a meal and some cloth to the whole Community whereupon the group of six bhikkhus arrived and pressured the donors into giving the cloth to them instead:
"Should any bhikkhu knowingly divert to himself gains that had been intended for a Community, it is [an offence of Confession with Forfeiture.]"
(Nis. Paac. 30; BMC p.256)
"Gains here refers to robes, alms food, abodes and medicines... and other allowable things. [They are] gifts dedicated as offerings to the Sangha but not yet offered. A bhikkhu diverts such gifts to himself by asking directly for them or by roundabout speech so that the donor will give them to him."
(Nis. Paac. 30; Paat. 1969 Ed.; p159)
In the above rule the wrongly obtained gift must be forfeited to another bhikkhu(s). (However, money is a special case. See Valuables and Money.) The following rule complements the one above but is an offence of Confession:
"Persuading a donor to give to another individual a gift that he or she had planned to give to a Community — when one knows that it was intended for the Community — is [an offence of Confession.]"
(Paac. 82; BMC p.461)

The original post—about The Stranger's push for greater transparency from federal prosecutors in this whole grand jury/sending activists to prison and solitary confinement for not answering (arguably McCarthyesque) questions about other people's politics—is below the jump. (And can we start using "O.P.P." to mean "other people's politics"?)
But to the point: Thank you, Sloggers. We started an Indiegogo campaign asking for $500 to file in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In the first day, we met the goal and quickly ramped up to over $800.
Because of your donations, we can afford to file and keep pushing this thing.
We've got four more days to go—and though we only asked for $500, every dollar more helps. The more money we have, the more nimble we can afford to be with our legal strategy. And if we have any money left over, we'll decide what to do with it together.
But really: Thank you.
Original post:
In the process of covering the grand jury, its refusers, and the recent release of two of them, The Stranger has gotten involved in a months-long legal process of trying to push the federal government to be more transparent about its legal maneuverings.
From a recent news story:
Throughout this process, The Stranger has been working with attorney Neil Fox, president of the local chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, petitioning to unseal some of the documents in this case that prosecutors have reflexively shielded. Some of those motions, for example, aren't sensitive to the investigation, but merely cite precedent and case law. We have been successful in getting some made public (such as a copy of the government's search-warrant affidavit, which [attorneys] Gordon and Kaplan say was helpful in getting their clients released), but not others (such as the full civil contempt proceedings). If we can raise the funds—including a $450 filing fee and at least $300 for printing—Fox and The Stranger will push our case for greater government transparency to the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. We plan to file soon.
The feds seems to be using a "seal-it-because-we-said-so" approach instead of a "seal-it-because-it's-actually-sensitive" approach. This is a problem because we, as citizens and as journalists, should have access to what our federal prosecutors are doing. Sealing motions should be the exception, not the rule. So we're taking this argument to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Our attorney, Neil Fox, is lending his expertise and drafting our motions pro bono, but the paperwork and filing fees ain't cheap. The Stranger will chip in some money, of course, and a few private donors have come forward. But we'll need a little help getting over the hump.
So we've started an Indiegogo campaign to make up the difference. If you want to show federal prosecutors that we are interested in how they do business in federal court, please donate here. (And remember: The more money we raise, the more nimble we can afford to be with our legal strategy.)
If we have money left over, neither Neil Fox nor I nor The Stranger will take a penny. You, dear Sloggers, will help us figure out what to do with it.

f you can get it to a parts store, have it scanned for codes for Free; no matter what they may say, have them do both tests; The engine temperature must be greater than 50° F for the Key On Engine Off (KOEO) and greater than 180° F for the Key On Engine Running (KOER). The KOER portion is often referred to as the I/M Readiness Monitor Status; it shows whether the various emissions-related systems on the vehicle are operating properly and are ready for Inspection and Maintenance testing.
"State and Federal Governments enacted Regulations, Procedures and Emission Standards to ensure that all emissions-related components and systems are continuously or periodically monitored, tested and diagnosed whenever the vehicle is in operation. It also requires vehicle manufacturers to automatically detect and report any problems or faults that may increase the vehicle's emissions to an unacceptable level.
The vehicle's emissions control system consists of several components or sub-systems (Oxygen Sensor, Catalytic Converter, EGR, Fuel System, etc.) that aid in reducing vehicle emissions.
To have an efficient Vehicle Emission Control System, all the emissions-related components and systems must work correctly whenever the vehicle is in operation.
To comply with State and Federal Government regulations, vehicle manufacturers designed a series of special computer programs called "Monitors" that are programmed into the vehicle's computer. Each of these Monitors is specifically designed to run tests and diagnostics on a specific emissions-related component or system (Oxygen Sensor, Catalytic Converter, EGR Valve, Fuel System, etc.) to ensure their proper operation. Currently, there are a maximum of eleven Monitors available for use.
(NOTE) Each Monitor has a specific function to test and diagnose only its designated emissions-related component or system. The names of the Monitors (Oxygen Sensor Monitor, Catalyst Monitor, EGR Monitor, Misfire Monitor, etc.) describe which component or system each Monitor is designed to test and diagnose.
I/M Readiness Monitor Status shows which of the vehicle's Monitors have run and completed their diagnosis and testing, and which ones have not yet run and completed testing and diagnosis of their designated sections of the vehicle's emissions system.
· If a Monitor was able to meet all the conditions required to enable it to perform the self-diagnosis and testing of its assigned engine system, it means the monitor "HAS RUN."
· If a Monitor has not yet met all the conditions required for it to perform the self-diagnosis and testing of its assigned engine system; it means the Monitor "HAS NOT RUN."
(NOTE) The Monitor Run/Not Run status does not show whether or not a problem exists in a system. Monitor status only indicates whether a particular Monitor has or has not run and performed the self-diagnosis and testing of its associated system."
Spark Tester
I strongly suggest you buy the KD Tools 2756 HEI Spark Tester. Click here to see what it looks like. The HEI Spark Tester helps in the diagnosis of the Ignition System by stress testing the Ignition Coil and any other component between it and the Spark Plug (like: a Distributor Cap, Distributor Rotor, Ignition Cables, etc).
As you can see in the photo, the tester looks like a Spark Plug with some very big and obvious differences. The biggest one is that there's no ground electrode hovering over the center electrode. Instead, there's a huge air gap between its center electrode and its body.
When you connect the Spark Tester to the Spark Plug Cable or the Ignition Coil Boot (for Coil-on-Plug Systems) and crank the engine, the HEI Spark Tester forces the Ignition Coil to produce its maximum output so the spark can jump across the very large air gap. This action stress-tests the Ignition Coil.
voltage necessary to fire the HEI Spark Tester is around 35,000 volts. This kind of voltage produces a very bright and bluish spark that's also audible. This method of testing for spark is the best one and does not cause any damage to the components.
If the Ignition Coil or whatever component that is in between it and the Tester are on their last leg, you'll get a NO-SPARK result on the tester.
The beauty of this tool lies in the fact that you get one of only two results to interpret. Either a Spark jumping from the center electrode to the outside metal body or NO Spark. Thats it! It's a very easy tool to use.
So, lets say that you're testing the Ignition Coil and you got a No Spark Result. This would indicate that the Ignition Coil is faulty. To be absolutely certain, you would only need to check the Power and Control Circuits of the Coil. If the Coil is getting power and it's being pulsed by its control module, the Ignition Coil is BAD!
Next is
Testing, Overview & Diagrams, Black, Computer Controlled Dwell (CCD), Fender Mounted Ignition Control Module (ICM); SEE site for diagrams
Whether your Ford or Mercury car or truck CRANKS but DOES NOT START or runs with a MISFIRE Condition, this article is for you. With the tests I'm gonna' show you, you'll be able to pinpoint the problem to the Ignition Control Module or the Ignition Coil or the Profile Ignition Pickup Sensor (PIP Sensor) or the Spark Plug Wires or the Distributor Cap

Good Points
- Very excellent image quality on photos taken
- This camera has a myriad of features for the purchase price
- The battery life on this camera is outstanding
- Is possible to zoom in on photos to see how they look on the LCD on the camera
- The menu system on the camera for the most part is intuitive and easy to understand
- There are two custom buttons that the user can assign favorite functions to.
- The digital zoom on this camera is outstanding.
- This camera accepts CF and SD memory cards
Bad Points
- There are many compression modes for this camera and knowing which one to use can be confusing
The manual focus is very difficult to use
The lens, although it's nice, cannot be removed, there are add-on lenses that add more features for this camera.
- There is no battery indicator bar, you're not aware you're running out of battery until the battery low light flashes.
General Comments
Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom - I have been using this camera for over a year. I have had some wonderful images come from it. It is eight megapixels and when I used to work in wide format I was able to print some of my images up to 36 inches wide. Those were images that were shot in Tiff mode not compressed.
For the most part I have been very happy with this camera.
It comes with a battery charger and the camera itself. What it does not have is a cover. I would recommend buying a camera bag if you purchase this camera.
The software that comes with the camera is okay. I prefer to use Photoshop to edit my pictures.
I did not have much sucess shooting in RAW mode and would recommend using Tiff mode for large format pictures and one of the Jpeg formats for others.
Compare the quality in different modes to see which suits you best.

Reading railway redevelopment gains international recognition
- Route:
- Western
- South East
Network Rail's orange army has received international recognition for its work to provide a better experience for passengers travelling to and through Reading station.
Today, Friday 26 February, members of the Taiwanese Government took part in a visit to the station that was hosted by Network Rail and attended by Rob Wilson, MP for Reading East. The purpose of the visit was to enable the delegates to learn how the company is delivering its £40bn Railway Upgrade Plan to provide a bigger, better, more reliable railway for passengers, in preparation for their own programme of modernisation work.
Reading was chosen as the ideal location as it has recently benefitted from an £895m project to upgrade the station and its surrounding area, including a new station building, new tracks and a new signaling system, all of which have helped to provide passengers with greater reliability and smoother journeys.
As demonstrated by the latest National Passenger Survey, these extensive upgrades have helped to improve passengers' overall travelling experience, with customer satisfaction at Reading station rising by five percent to 93 percent, compared with autumn 2014.
Over the next few years Reading will also benefit from electrification which will see the introduction of a new fleet of longer, faster, quieter and greener electric trains. This is in addition to the arrival of Crossrail services in 2019 that will provide better rail connections between the south east and London, and the proposed link to Heathrow airport that will enable passengers to benefit from a direct 26 minute service from Reading to Heathrow Terminal 5.
Mark Langman, Network Rail's managing director for the Western route, said: "We were delighted to welcome the Taiwanese delegates to Reading station and show them the extensive work we have carried out to provide passengers with greater reliability, fewer delays and faster, smoother journeys into and through the station area.
"Upgrading a Victorian railway is extremely complex and it was useful to learn about the challenges the Taiwanese Government face in completing their own modernisation programme. Hopefully we can continue to learn from each other as we deliver our extensive upgrade of the Western route."
Notes to editors
The Railway Upgrade Plan is Network Rail's £40bn spending plan for Britain's railways for the five year period up to 31 March 2019. The plan is designed to provide more capacity, relieve crowding and respond to tremendous growth the railways have seen – a doubling of passengers in the past twenty years. The plan will deliver a bigger, better railway with more trains, longer trains, faster trains with more infrastructure, more reliable infrastructure and better facilities for passengers, especially at stations.

About Network Rail
Network Rail owns, manages and develops Britain's railway - the 20,000 miles of track, 40,000 bridges and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations (the largest of which we also run). In partnership with train operators we help people take more than 1.65bn journeys by rail every year and move hundreds of millions of tonnes of freight, saving almost 8m lorry journeys. We employ 36,000 people across Britain and work round-the-clock, each and every day, to provide a safe, reliable railway.
About the Railway Upgrade Plan
The Railway Upgrade Plan is Network Rail's investment plan for Britain's railways. It makes up two-thirds of Network Rail's £40bn spending priorities for the five years to 2019 and represents the biggest sustained programme of rail modernisation since the Victoria era. It is designed to provide more capacity, relieve crowding and respond to the tremendous growth Britain's railways continue to experience; passenger numbers have doubled in the past 20 years and are set to double again over the next 25 years - so we need to continue to invest in building a bigger, better railway. For passengers, that means:
- longer, faster more frequent trains;
- better, more reliable infrastructure; and
- better facilities for passengers, especially at stations.

Changing your mind
Expand Messages
- ************************
Swami J's Newsletter
January 29, 2002
Dear Friends,
If we could calm our minds and get to the basis of all these
modifications [of mind], we would find the unity among everything.
That is the real Yogic life.
That does not mean we are indifferent to the changes and become
useless to the world. Instead, with this experience of universal
unity we function better. We will have happy and harmonious lives.
Only then can we love our neighbors as our own Self.
Otherwise, how is it possible? If I identify myself with my mind,
nobody can have a mind exactly like mine. No two individuals have the
same body or mind, even twins. Even to the extent of the half-inch
square thumb we are not the same. Ask the fingerprint experts; they
will tell you no two fingerprints are the same.
But behind all these differences, in the Self, we never differ. That
means behind all these ever-changing phenomena is a never-changing
One. That One appears to change due to our mental modifications.
So, by changing your mind you change everything. If only we could
understand this point, we would see that there is nothing wrong
outside; it is all in the mind. By correcting our vision we correct
things outside.*
In loving service,
Swami J

|Cast ... actor
After establishing himself on stage as an accomplished Shakespearean performer, actor Timothy Dalton forged a successful career on screen, typically in roles as dashing period men, until he reached international stardom as the fourth person to play James Bond. While his tenure as 007 was short-lived, Dalton was credited with returning the character to his roots following a decade of campy humor during the reign of Roger Moore. After first being offered and ultimately turning down the role in the late 1960s following Sean Connery's first departure, he made his first appearance as Bond in "The Living Daylights" (1987), which helped bring the franchise back to box office prominence after a steady decline earlier in the decade. Dalton followed with the decidedly darker "License to Kill" (1989), which drew equal amounts of proponents and detractors over his portrayal of a violent, loose canon Bond out for revenge. Prior to his stint as England's most famous fictional spy, Dalton excelled in stage productions of "Coriolanus" (1964), "As You Like It" (1966) and "King Lear" (1972), while making his onscreen mark in "The Lion in Winter" (1968), "Flash Gordon" (1980) and "Jane Eyre" (BBC, 1983). Following a bitter legal dispute between the production company behind Bond and the studio, Dalton left the franchise due to an expired contract and focused once again on leading roles in period films like "Scarlett" (CBS, 1994) and "Cleopatra" (ABC, 1999). Having displayed his creative diversity with "Hot Fuzz" (2007) and "Toy Story 3" (2010), Dalton proved that he was one of cinema's great, but often underappreciated performers.
