Details: The standard Student Vector SE is designed to quickly and easily be set up
for a large variety of deployment systems:
Why : In 2002 UPT decided that an upgrade to the then Vector 2 student rig was required. We had already stopped production of the Vector 2 sport system, but we had continued to produce the Vector 2 student system as a low cost alternative to DZOs, but we identified a need to keep up with the times and update to the latest technology of the day.Engineering:
We went about the design in the following fashion. First of all we
wanted a container that was still cost effective, comfortable, easy to
use and easy to maintain - while also utilizing the latest technology to
ensure the safest container for low experience jumpers. Many other
manufacturers had gone the route of adding student options to their
sport rig, which is not very cost effective and is difficult to
maintain, with features not necessarily beneficial to student
We based the backpad and yoke on our already popular Vector 3 container
- we also added extra foam padding to the legpads with double wide
webbing. The legpads also have a simple form of adjustment to fit a
wider range of jumpers.
We purposely costed the container below that of our sport container. We
were able to do this by simplifying the container without compromising
safety and strength. For example, we changed the centre flap design to a
3 stripe instead of a 5 stripe design which saved an hour of production
costs. We also removed the full wraparound corners of the main
container, but still maintained excellent bridle protection. We reduced
the amount of options available thus requiring less time in the
production and inspection process.
Ease of use:
We removed the internal riser covers to make packing simpler for
inexperienced jumpers. We also added the reserve and AAD windows so
instructors could perform more effective gear checks without opening
flaps, especially useful in smaller aircraft. The external riser covers
were designed to be easily replaced. All components are less expensive
to replace, adding to your bottom line.
Technology and safety:
The Skyhook system was made a standard feature on all SE containers.
This is the latest greatest reserve deployment system. This feature adds
to the wellbeing and confidence of the student after a cutaway, besides
getting the reserve out in about 33 meters. This container is also
built with UPT's usual high standard of quality and support to ISO
9001:2000 standard.

Student Vector SE harness and container system is built to the same
demanding specifications as all the United Parachute Technologies
products incorporating the Vector 3 design and features - designed for
jumpers by engineers, well tested by our professional test partners in
the field, and built to the highest standard by craftsmen. The
reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance made the "cost per
student jump"-ratio extremely low. This is combination with the
flexibility and easy handling had made the Student Vector SE the primary
choice of student equipment by most major student operations around the

Preservation Graduate Appointed to |
Preservation graduate Najah Duvall-Gabriel was recently appointed by Governor Martin O'Malley to the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture. She joins eight other appointees who hold extensive knowledge in African American history, tasked with documenting, preserving and promoting Maryland's African American heritage.
"I am very excited about contributing my expertise in the field of preservation to the administration of the new African American Heritage Preservation Grant Program," said Ms. Duvall-Gabriel. "Maryland has such a rich and diverse heritage, and I am looking forward to doing my part to ensure that it is recognized and preserved for all Marylanders and visitors to enjoy."
The Commission's primary focus is to preserve and document the African-American experience in Maryland, specifically through research assistance and collection of historical materials - art objects, memorabilia, manuscripts, photographs, and other articles of significance to African-American history and culture. The Commission also provides exhibits, programs and resource material for the community, educational systems and institutions within the state, and works to locate and identify sites, buildings and communities of historical and cultural importance to African-American heritage. Commission members also serve as board members of the Banneker-Douglass Museum in Annapolis, MD.
"I am extremely pleased and excited to have Najah serving on this important committee that will help broaden the reach of preservation and preservation services to the African-American community," says Dr. Donald Linebaugh, director of the University's Historic Preservation Program. "This is a great example of University of Maryland's leadership in helping to diversify and broaden the impact of our discipline."
Ms. Duvall-Gabriel, who graduated in 2008 with a Masters in Historic Preservation, is currently the Assistant Historic Preservation Specialist with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation in Washington, DC. Her thesis project, "Values-centered preservation theory and the preservation planning of African-American historic resources in Prince George's County, Maryland" focused on preserving African American heritage sites in Prince Georges County.

in response to Hickeyboys_Daddy:
Perc or tetracholoroethylene or Perchloroethylene is used as a dry cleaning agent. It's good at cleaning Organic materials. It's not flammable. It can be bad for you if you inhale too much of in in a short time. It may be listed as a cancer Agent in some states. Do a Google Search and look at the Wikapedia Information to find out more about Perc.
The one thing that I can remember is that Perc can leak and get into the water table and then the State will make the owners do a remediation. This intails digging a well and pumping the water out from under the building or from the zone of contamination and then removing the perc from the water. This can take years to accomplish in some cases and is expensive. And I'm not really sure how effective the removal process is. Once liquids like this get into the ground water it's very difficult to remove all the contamination. Now if you have a well close to the contamination zone and get Perc in your well water it could be more dangerous as you might intake a higer concentration. It's the dose and your genetic makeup that deterimines the harmful effects if there are any. Higher concentrations can be more harmful than lower concentrations. Longer exposure is worse than short term exposure.
Some of this may be burned up in the fire. It depends on how stable the chemcial is and how hot the fire gets and how long the fire burns.
A lot of toxic chemcials are destroyed by heating them at very high temperatures in a rotary kiln type furnace. Contaminated soils are sometimes dug up and run through these Rotary Kilns and the chemicals in the soil are burned up at very high temperatures. High temperature break the chemical bonds and break the dangerous chemicals down into less toxic by products that are much safer.

Mine would prolly be Powerless, Pretend to be, or Roads Untraveled. they are just so close lol though i think SO many others are too, but these are the closest
Surely Papercut. It may seems a bit sad, but i fell mine the rage expressed by this song. A lot of situation similar each other, i was really doing like a mad.
Sometimes What i've done, or In The End.
Often, very often, From The Inside, trusting myself and no one other.
Roads Untraveled, In My Remains, One Step Closer, Hands Held High.
Life is made of situations, situations are different. Different feelings, different song.
Easier the Run, Numb, One Step Closer, and What I've Done.
I think I have experienced some of leave out all the rest as well.
Numb, somewhere i belong, leave out all the rest and recently powerless. seriously, i cant narrow myself down to one song. i agree that it depends on the day.
Definitely What I've Done
points of authority, given up , somewhere i belong ; best describe my life.
every song of LP motivate me,it gives me more determination,more courage to
face the problems of my life
Breaking the Habit is always a good one for me but other times parts of the different songs like Blackbirds or Crawling or Numb. It depends on the day and what my mood is.
This is what I would reply
When I Wake I start Waiting for the end,
think about What I've done and try to find Somewhere I belong,
There is A place in my head filled with Roads untravelled
I just want to Bleed it out but instead I Burn it down
and watch my memories Burning in the Skies,
Until it breaks, then felling Numb inside and with my Hands held high,
I Hit the floor I'm In pieces and I've Given up,
I'm Lost in the echo of our Lies greed and misery,
but you're One step closer to Pushing me away,
I'll be By myself, Crawling into my Castle of glass, When they come for me,
But Don't stay it's Easier to run
because Nobody's listening, you're Powerless
I'll be gone but not Forgotten, I'll always be there With you
and In my remains there will be No more sorrow,
So In the end I want you to Leave out all the rest
and just Runaway into the Shadow of the day

"If They Won't Make It, I Can": An Interview with Documentarian, Hu Jie
For many in contemporary China, the past is another country – and a hazy, dimly lit one at that. It's not uncommon to meet young people in China who can recite every dynasty in the nation's 5,000 year history, yet can barely muster more than a few lines about the Maoist era of the 1950s and 60s. Independent documentarian Hu Jie was no different – by his own admission he knew little about China's recent past when he stumbled upon the story of the dissident Lin Zhao, executed in 1968 for her outspoken criticism of Mao's totalitarian ways. As Hu travelled the length and breadth of China looking for those who knew Lin, he felt like he had "found the door of history, opened it and walked in." The stories he uncovered have been fuelling his filmmaking ever since.
In August two of Hu Jie's best-known works, Searching for Lin Zhao's Soul (2004) and Though I Am Gone (2006) will screen at the Melbourne International Film Festival, as part of the program "Street Level Visions: Chinese Independent Docos". This is a rare chance for Australian audiences to see some of the most challenging films coming out of contemporary China.
Searching for Lin Zhao's Soul uses interviews with many of Lin's friends and associates to trace the young writer's journey from an ardent supporter of Mao's revolution to an impassioned dissident imprisoned in Shanghai. When she was denied writing materials in jail, Lin composed thousands of words of essays and poems using her own blood. Though I Am Gone tells the story of Bian Zhongyun, the deputy headmistress of a prominent Beijing girl's school attended by many daughters of the party elite, who was beaten to death by her own student in the opening weeks of the Cultural Revolution in August 1966. Incredibly, Bian's husband secretly photographed the events leading up to her death and his wife's battered corpse – images he reveals to Hu Jie's lens in the course of recounting his wife's story.
In March 2010 I was privileged to interview Hu Jie via phone at his home in Nanjing for an article in RealTime. It's an indication of the enduring sensitivity of China's Maoist past that our conversation was interrupted by police monitoring Hu's calls. Nevertheless, he persisted with the interview, and I'd like to thank him for taking the time and associated risks to speak to me.
To celebrate the screening of Hu Jie's films in Melbourne this August, ArtSpace China presents the full 2010 interview for the first time. Thanks to my translator during the interview, who has asked to remain anonymous.

A Treasure of World Heritage: Islamic Manuscripts in the Kandilli Observatory
Review of: Manuscripts of Kandilli Observatory. Kandilli Rasathanesi el yazmalari 1: Türkce yazmalar. Project manager Gunay Kut; prepared by Hatice Aynur, Cumhure Ucer, Fatma Buyukkarci Yilmaz. Istanbul: Bogaziçi University Publication, First edition, 2007. 579 pages, 22 x 24 cm. ISBN 9756193646.
This is a review of a book bringing notice of a collection containing 1340 Islamic scientific manuscripts in three languages (Turkish, Arabic and Persian) held in the Library of Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute at Bogaziçi University in Istanbul. This catalogue was published in cooperation with UNESCO, whose contribution covered the preparation and publication of the catalogue of these manuscripts, maintenance of the catalogue in a computer-readable form and the production of a CD-ROM consisting of the catalogue and sample pages from most of the manuscripts.
Kandilli Observatory
The Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI) is Turkey's unique organization encompassing earthquake observation, research, education and application services into one integrated body. Established in 1868 as the Imperial Meteorological Observatory, Kandilli Observatory extended its activities in the 20th century into various observational fields such as astronomy, astrophysics, geophysics, geomagnetism, seismology, time service observatory and solar physics. In 1982 Kandilli Observatory was joined to Bogaziçi University. A new Earthquake Research Institute was founded to merge with the Observatory. The new body, named KOERI, was reorganized with the main emphasis oriented towards earthquake research, education and relevant service activities.
The Observatory is located in a large and independent campus on the beautiful hills of the Bosphorus just across the campus of the Bogaziçi University.
The manuscripts catalogue
Figure 3: Majmua-i Hay'a, unknown author. The Kibla-nûma figures show how to find the direction of the holy Ka'ba (Kandilli Library, MS 198/1, fol. 35b-36a).
The catalogue contains a very precious manuscript collection which is largely concentrated on the astronomy and astrology works. It also includes other scientific works of the periods between the 11th and 20th centuries related to mathematics, geography and other scientific topics. The creation of this original and unique special collection was undertaken long ago by Mehmed Fatin Gökmen, the founder and the first manager of Kandilli Observatory. The collection is also registered at the World Memory Program, which is initiated by UNESCO with the aim to establish a worldwide documentary basis for the world's intellectual heritage.
The catalogue published this year mentions a total of 1340 manuscripts (845 in Turkish, 395 in Arabic, 100 in Persian). The classification of these manuscripts according to subject yields the following distribution: 887 in astronomy, 277 in astrology, 81 in mathematics, 18 in geography, and 75 in various other subjects.
Figure 4: Omar Ispirî's Rûz-nâma-i dawr-i dâ'im, written in 1765-7 (Kandilli Library, MS 101).
Headed by Professor Günay Kut, the Head of the Turkish Language and Literature Department at Bogaziçi University, the project aimed from 1994 to publish all the necessary information on the manuscripts, including their context and the period in which they belong, together with colourful reproductions of some of their pages. The project was completed in 1995, but the catalogue had to wait 12 years before being published due to a lack of funding. The present version is in Turkish, but there are also plans to publish an English version of the catalogue in the future as well.
The manuscripts, written by prominent scientists of their respective periods, give information on various topics including general astronomy, arithmetic, animals, latitudes and longitudes along with calendars. Some of the manuscripts carry the signet of the period's Sultan. The catalogue provides very detailed information about the manuscripts, such as title, author, data on the copying, written date, besides the usual incipit and excipits (the last and the first paragraphs of the individual manuscripts). In the beginning, a detailed guide shows to the reader how he should proceed in the use of the catalogue.
Figure 5: The name of the signs and their places in a circle under the title Falak al-Buruj. From an unknown author, Ahqam-i Nucûm (Kandilli Library, MS 64/6, p. 310).
The oldest Turkish work in the collection is the Risâle-i si fasl that belongs to the first half of the 15th century. The oldest Arabic work dates back to year 1025 and the oldest Persian work dates back to year 1461. The space spared for calendars in the catalogue is quite large. This section includes all the works related to time determination. The oldest calendar in the collection is a Persian calendar which was prepared in 1490-91 for Sultan Beyazit II. Under the astronomy yearbooks title in the catalogue, there are the schedules indicating the positions of a specific celestial body throughout the year. Among the important works included in the collection are the "Marifetname" of Ibrahim Hakki of Erzurum belonging to the 18th century, which contains a wealth of information about scientific life in the Ottoman Empire, such as the astronomical observations made by Ali Kusçu, and also calendars and astronomical studies by famous mathematicians such as Ulugh Bey and Taqi al-Din.
Ottoman and Turkish observatories
The first observatory in the Ottoman world was the Istanbul Observatory set up by Taqi al-Din in the late 16th century. Founded at the behest of Murad III, it was razed again on the sultan's command. The second observatory, the Imperial Observatory, which started out in an apartment building on Istiklal Avenue in 1868, met the same fate as the first observatory when it was destroyed in the uprising of 31 March 1909. The new government formed after the rising appointed Fatin Gökmen (1878-1955) director of the Imperial Observatory and charged him with finding a location for the new building. Gökmen decided on Icadiye Hill on the Bosphorus at Kandilli, where the present observatory still stands, and work commenced there in 1911. When the offices of chief astronomer and mosque timekeeper were abolished in 1926, the observatory took over the task of calculating the Islamic calendar. Attached to Bogaziçi University in 1982, the observatory was renamed the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute. During his term as director, Gökmen amassed a wealth of documents relating to the history of astronomy, mathematics and geography as well as manuscripts - either originals or translations, or compiled by the chief astronomer of their time - and left behind a valuable collection. It is this collection that was compiled in the catalogue published by the Bogaziçi University.
Calendars in the Kandili collection
Figure 7: Darwish Muhammad Al-Hasib Al-Mawlavî, Taqvîm-i Sâl: 1134-1135 H (1722-23 CE) (Kandilli Library, MS 540). This figure shows the planets, signs of zodiac and months in the semi circle. Top left of the figure also contains a Gurrenâme (first dates of the months). The circle at the right top of the figure shows climates, signs and winds.
The oldest of the Ottoman State calendars among these manuscripts dates to 1444. Such calendars were drawn up every year in two parts, the annual calendar (takvim-i sal) starting from Nevruz (the first day of the year) and the calendar of predictions (ahkâm-i sal). It is thought that these calendars were in the beginning put together by astronomers outside the palace and then submitted to it. Then, beginning in the 16th century, calendars were compiled by the chief astronomer, an official employee of the Ottoman State, and presented to the palace, where they were checked by the Sultan himself and the grand vizier. The first part of these generally two-part calendars included historical and astronomical information. The earliest calendars, for example, contain chronological lists of the prophets and their successors going back to Adam, as well as the Seljuk, Karamanid and Ottoman rulers, historical information, astronomical and astrological calculations. These were followed by 'signs' relating the month of the year and the day of the month; predictions based on the Sun, Moon, stars and seasons, interpretations of dreams, and even lists of foods and beverages appropriate to the different times of the year. The second part was the actual calendar, which generally took the form of fourteen page tables.
The publication of the catalogue of this unique collection of astronomical manuscripts, including some rare and unique specimens and some very old dated manuscript copies, will certainly shed new light on the scientific production in the Islamic world in the Ottoman period.

The modern astronomical observatory as a research institute (as opposed to a private observation post as was the case in ancient times) is a creation of the Islamic scientific tradition. Since the early 9th century, the astronomers of Islamic lands worked in astronomical observtories in which they performed precise observations of the skies and produced accurate astronomical tables. The Islamic observatory was a dynamic scientific specialized institution with its own scientific staff, director, astronomical program, large astronomical instruments and building. Islamic observatories were also the earliest institutions to emphasize group research and in them theoretical investigations went hand in hand with observations. The Samarqand Observatory by: FSTC LimitedThe observatory of Samarqand dates from 1424AD and was a `monumental' building equipped with a huge meridian, made of masonry, a 'Fakhri sextant', of a radius of 40.4 metres. It was built By Uluh Beg (1394-1449). Observatories In Islam by: Prof. Aydin SayiliThe observatory as an organised and state sponsored activity began with in the Islamic world. Much progress was made in this area, particularly in eastern parts of the Islamic world. Al-Urdi's Article on 'The Quality of Observation' by: FSTC LimitedAstronomy has for a long time been of keen interest of Muslims throughout centuries.

Supermarket chain heads to Windermere
Last updated at 16:25, Friday, 09 November 2012
A NATIONAL supermarket chain is set to move into a Lake District town.
Morrison's will soon open a store in Windermere – one of the most popular visitor destinations in the region.
The scheme has sparked concern among nearby residents who claim the development will worsen traffic while car park floodlights impact on their homes.
But national park planning bosses this week claimed they were powerless to stop the giant firm from going ahead with its plan.
Speaking at a development control meeting at Lake District National Park Authority headquarters on Wednesday, David McGowan, head of planning, explained retail use was already permitted at the premises.
"A shop is a shop is a shop," he said.
"We might have reservations about the implications of a new user taking over this particular building but we may not consider them.
"We are not being asked to decide whether or not we feel it's acceptable to have a new supermarket in Windermere, but simply to decide whether to allow some minor alterations to the frontage of this building."
Members of the development control committee agreed to allow some signage and minor alterations – including sliding doors – to go ahead.
The supermarket will open every day and offer 10 customer car parking spaces at the rear of the property.
But development control committee members imposed a condition that lighting in the car park must be shut down between 9pm and 7am to ensure residents living in neighbouring properties are not affected.
National park representative John Hayton said: "This is obviously something that we don't like but the premises are there and we have just got to get on with it.
"There's something to be said for the lighting, however, so I personally would like to see the car park closed when they turn out the lights."
Another committee member, Vivienne Rees, agreed.
She said: "In other towns and urban areas they might not mind having lighting on until the early hours.
"But Windermere is not a city and it's certainly not appropriate here."

The tool can be used to work on those hard to reach areas that might be in tight spaces or too far from a power source.
Transporting and storing can be straightforwardly done as it is not a cabled tool. The tool measures 16 x 14.2 x 5.2 inches and weighs 14.7 pounds making it quite easy to transport and store.

The Dewalt DW059K-2 has been designed for durability. This special tool is all metal device which can be very simply controlled with plastic anti grip handling grips. Magnesium is used to make the gear case and transmission of the system to increase the durability of the tool. The device's kickback has been done away with making the device more durable.
The kickback that can cause damage has been eliminated by directing the power directly to the fastener. The metallic finishing allows the users to attain superb and top notch working in heavy workloads. I just love this Dewalt Kit because it does flawlessly what you need it to do – and quickly!
Once you buy the DW059K-2 Dewalt you automatically become eligible for one year free service and a 90 day money back guarantee. The industrial workplace as well as the DIY projects, all cannot do without the fastener.

Army of Shadows, Jean-Pierre Melvilles now legendary, noir-inflected
meditation on French Resistance fighters, was based on the
of the same name by Joseph Kessel. Melville, who had been a member of the French
underground during World War II, read the book upon its publication in 1943. But it took
him another quarter century to make his film, which was released in 1969. Fitting perhaps
that it took another 37 years for Army of Shadows now to finally debut in the
United States.
Army of Shadows received little attention when it was originally
released in post-1968 France. The times--and politics--had changed; sympathy for De
Gaulles wartime exile leadership (from London) had greatly diminished in the new era
of radical left sympathizers. Box office success in Vietnam War-era US ran either toward
anti-war satire such as M.A.S.H.
or conservative action-spectacles like Patton.
The great news is, nearly forty years later, Army of Shadows holds up better than
ever. Moviegoers familiar with Melvilles work, such as Le
Samourai or Bob
le Flambeur, will encounter familiar thrilling territory. Above all, the epic Army
of Shadows scintillates darkly as a study of the sublime ambiguity at the heart of
In Army of Shadows it is an intellectual, the fictitious
mathematics scholar Luc Jardie (Paul Meurisse), based on the actual Jean Moulin, who
masterminds the shadowy French Resistance army. As the film opens, the Nazis are marching
on Paris, Hitlers lapdog Petain will soon "rule" as Hitlers puppet
from Vichy. The few true patriots, who will not bow to collaborationist pressures, must go
deep underground to do their work, for anyone found to be a traitor to Hitler can expect
to be tortured and killed. Army of Shadows soon reveals itself to be set in a
mythical time, where the hearts yearning for freedom requires absolute precision of
mental calculationdesire needs reason to set it free.
As the film opens, Resistance fighter Philippe Gerbier (Lino Ventura)
is imprisoned in a concentration camp only to escape (rather implausibly) shortly
thereafter. He takes momentary refuge in a barber shop, allowing himself to be shaved
the barber proves to be a Resistance sympathizer and aids Gerbier in eluding
recapture. Gerbier works with a tight group of fellow saboteurs Francois
(Jean-Pierre Cassel), Le Masque (Claude Mann), Felix (Paul Crauchet), Le Bison (Christian
Barbier), and the matronly master of disguises, Mathilde (Simone Signoret), all average
citizens quietly taking heroic-sized risks, ever aware any might buckle under the pressure
and betray the others. All toil and sacrifice anonymously.
Strict adherence to hope in the face of inevitable despair and human
imperfectiona classic formula for noiris for these individuals the only
possible response to their Nazi-occupied world. Melville underscores his meditation
through cool low-key color lighting, the stylized, almost automaton-like movements of the
actors, close-ups of revealing exchanges made through slight glances, the omnipresent
tacit presence of danger, betrayal, death, the anonymity of the agents as they move
through the shadows, knowing their own actions and fates will likely remain forever
At one point Mathilde is asked whether her husband is aware of her
activities. She answers no, nor does her child. Later the audience learns Mathildes
single fatal flaw is her sentimental attachment to a photograph of her daughter.
Similarly, when another resistance fighter who has become compromised, must be put to
death, leader Luc Jardie comes out of hiding, allowing the man to see Jardie pass by in a
car, to let the man know he will die, and that it is an act of honor. Melvilles film
imparts a visceral feel for the intense ambiguities of the shadow world these Resistance
fighters inhabit. Taut, superb acting, narrative told by mood rather than action, the
understated visuals, the elements of Army of Shadows merge to seep in under the
skin and create an unforgettable and disturbing experience of men (and women, but mostly
men) at war.

Oddly enough, the real culprits were Sunni Muslim jihadists who hate the Shi'ites. Yet the Western world is much more worried about "Islamophobia" than about this Muslim-on-Muslim violence, and its root causes in Islamic law's death penalty for heresy and apostasy. This is despite the fact that untold numbers of people around the world have been murdered this year (and in years past) because of Islam's teachings of jihad and the death penalties for heresy, apostasy, blasphemy etc., and no one at all has been killed because of "Islamophobia."
"Anti-Shiite violence rises in Pakistan as Islam's sectarian divide moves beyond the Middle East," by Saeed Shah for the McClatchy Newspapers, November 30 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
KARACHI -- More members of Pakistan's Shiite Muslim religious minority were killed by Sunni Muslim extremists this year than in any previous year, a development that could further destabilize this key U.S. ally and draw it into the widening Shiite-Sunni conflict that up to now has been manifest primarily in Middle Eastern countries.Unlike conflicts in Iraq and Syria, where the violence runs both ways, nearly all the deaths along the sectarian divide in Pakistan are on the Shiite side. Anti-Shiite groups here have linked up with Pakistani Taliban militants, who are close to al Qaida and were previously focused on attacking the security forces, forming a deadly coalition.
Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries are believed to support Sunni hardliners in Pakistan, while Iran is thought to be providing some aid to the Shiites. The biggest anti-Shiite group, Sipah-e-Sahaba (SSP), operates openly in Pakistan.
According to Hasan Murtaza, an independent researcher, 456 Shiites have been killed this year through Monday in violence that has stretched across the country. Of those, 103 deaths took place in Karachi and 120 in the western city of Quetta. That's more than double the casualties of 2011 and, Murtaza said, the highest figure since Pakistan came into existence in 1947.
The violence reached a grim climax this month as eight bomb blasts targeted Shiite processions commemorating Muharram, the month of ritual mourning that began Nov. 16. At least 31 people died.
"Are we also not human? Democracy surely means that every community is allowed to live the way they want," said a sobbing Salma Jaffri, mother of Waseem, a 22-year-old who was shot in the head by unseen gunmen as he attended a Shiite funeral procession in Karachi's Liaquatabad district earlier this month....

hello im new to the forums. i have an fx8350 and a gigabyte hd 7970 under water using the xspc 240 kit and a 120mm x 45mm thick single rad. i had problems getting an air lock out but thankfully that has now disappeared however i am experiencing quite high temps under load. with the cpu left at stock i hit 59c and if left to stress for more than 20 mins hits 67c before i stop the stress. likewise in gaming the 7970 at stock settings reaches 71c after about 20 mins gaming which is 8c higher than the stock cooler that was originally on the card. both the cpu and gpu have been reseated numerous times so i know its not a poor fitting. im beginning to wonder if the xspc all in one pump/res is not powerful enough to cool the 2 components however numerous google searches say this is not the case. one thing i did notice as you can see in the pic below is what appears to be scorch marks on the base of the cpu block which i have never seen before i have tried routing the tubing various ways in the loop over the weekend but still no joy does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what to try next
pump/res>240mm rad>7970>120mmrad>cpu>res. i have tried various ways of routing tubing but no joy with temps at all especially when various searches report people with similair setups rarely going above 40c on the gpu
I thought most people usually put the res after the component it's supposed to cool, for example: pump/res>CPU>120mm rad>gpu>240mm rad>pump/res Which xspc pump/rad combo do you have? is it the dual 5.25 bay one or the single? Make sure to check the CPU and GPU block inside to make sure there's no gunk or contamination making the fluid too heavy or clogging up any fitting. I have never used a pump/res combo, so i cant tell you if the pump is powerful enough or not. I'll have to do a little research.
the system is only 3 weeks old and been flushed out numerous times, its the 5.35 dual bay pump/res xspc 240mm starter kit. i was told order didnt really matter and have had it routed various ways but temps never really change
Order does matter, quite a bit in fact Other people on here can shed more light on the order of their kits, but the above-mentioned order is one i see most commonly. Though your kit certainly looks like it should be able to handle the load after checking it out, the pump looks like its 750 which should be powerful enough. There are dual 600's available though. EDIT: after researching your order is all wrong... should be going to CPU first, and rad after. Your current setup is cooling the GPU water on a 120mm rad then pushing that hot water to the cpu, which then gets cooled by the 240mm rad and sent into the pump. I'd have the 240 cool the water after gpu and 120 cool the water after the cpu. Please refer to my previously mentioned order.
yes its the 750 kit i got and almost everywhere i read says the order doesnt matter that much same with fans not a great deal of dif between having them in either push or pull ( i have pull due to lack of room in case, 600t )
After further research, the order can make up to a 5 degree difference, the main issue is with the shortness and bends in the tubing between parts. Depending upon how many parts you're cooling and the distance between them, and the angle of the bends, defines how fast the water is being pumped. It sounds to me like your bends are too harsh and/or the tubing is too long for the pump to really push the liquid around the system. Evidently some people either split the loop or add an extra pump ie RES/PUMP>GPU>RAD>PUMP>CPU>RES/PUMP Also I am assuming you applied thermal paste on all the blocks?
yes thermal paste applied correctlty and there are no kins etc in the loop at all and tubing isnt that long used just under 2m for the whole loop with shortest tube being 90mm long
Can you take a picture of your setup? If you're certain your setup is perfect after everything I've said, all i can say it get an additional pump or a more powerful one. It was designed for a single dualradiator after all.
Those two tubes from your GPU... damn son... I could be wrong, but they arent exactly helping the pump. I'm afraid my expertise ends here, all i can suggest is more pump power and less bends.
do u have any suggestions as how to route the tubing using less of it as i cand seem to find a way of using less tubing
Aside from the order that they're in (I would put the 240 before the CPU) Check the inlet and outlet hose on the CPU block. There is a thread here from not to long ago where someone had put the inlet and outlet hoses backwards on the CPU block, and it made a HUGE difference, like the same problems you're having.
Is there a way to adapt 90* fittings to the gpu block? I don't know much about watercooling but I bet that would go a long way.
This may be a stupid question, but are you sure you don't have the lines going to the pump/res combo mixed up? i.e. the tube that runs between the CPU block and pump/res is going to the in port on the pump/res and not the out. Also, what fans are you using on your rads? In your pic it looks like you're running passive.
im assuming you meant he had the inlet going into the outlet??? if thats what u mean then no mine are the correct way around i triple checked that
He said they're in pull because of space, but i cant clearly see any fans. Definitely something wrong with the setup somewhere along those lines, it's all very jumbled to me.
Just went back and saw that. Something is definitely wrong here. How are the fans powered? Are they plugged into a fan controller, a fan header on your motherboard, or directly into the power supply?
Yes, that was the problem he had. The inlet on the CPU block is where the water is directed at the baseplate. If you run it backwards, you don't have water doing that. Another question: What are you seeing for temps on the GPU??? ...if it hasn't already been mentioned or asked!
So, the water runs to the CPU, from there it goes to the 120 Rad, and then to the GPU, from GPU to the 240 Rad and back to the reservoir/pump? Or is it the other way around??
I keep looking at those tubes, and my eyes are telling me something about them is wrong, but i dont understand what. exactly the opposite way. but what you've said is the way i'd do it. 71 degrees he said.
The pink anti-kink? In all seriousness, I've traced the tubing in the pic numerous times, and it seems fine to me. My guess would be the flow is going the wrong way through one or more of the parts. Since rads and (most) GPU blocks are bi-directional, that leaves the CPU block (which he said the tubing is correct) and pump/res, which is entirely possible. If that were the case, not only would coolant be flowing backwards through the CPU block, but the heat sources would be before the radiators providing an inefficient cooling solution. I'm asking this again. If they are plugged in to your motherboard, make sure in BIOS fan control is disabled and if you have the Asus software installed, make sure there are no fan controls set up there either.
Perhaps try switching the hoses around on the cpu block, and if that does not resolve it, try switching it on the reservoir.
I hope I didn't miss something.... If I'm not mistaken, that kit uses the Raystorm CPU block, and the inlet port on the Raysorm is on the right (when looking at it so the word Raystorm is on the bottom and properly readable). Your picture several posts back shows it to be opposite. So like others said, you need to rearrange.

Go a Size Smaller
September 5, 2013
I bought this dress for Vegas and I love it! I did what the other reviews/tips said and went a size smaller. I normally wear a medium so I got a small and this fits perfect. The cage stays up and is not loose at all and the top bow part fits me perfectly. I am pretty small busted, though. All in all I love this dress!

I am very small chested and it still didn't cover very well and I agree that the cage is kind of awkward and loose. Extremely cute if you don't mind fixing it all day!

For bow you should have one that gives you the true ballistic range, so it always gives you the right pin to use, no matter what angle you shoot at.
I use one from Leupold and am very happy with that.

I'm a gear junkie. I've had leupold, bushnell and nikon all within the last 18 months. At the end of the day, my absolute favorites (that got left in Africa as part of a tip) were the Bushnell Scout 1000 with ARC. They are high quality, read to low yardage, compensate for angles and work everytime, all the time. To be honest, my least favorites have been the Leupolds. To each his own. It's really hard to get a bad laser rangefinder these days.
I have several different Bushnells & I like them all. I think they make the best rangefinders for the money.

Koukash sets out intentions
Salford's millionaire owner Marwan Koukash insists his move for Sam Tomkins was no publicity stunt as he turned his attention to luring the club's former stars back to the City Reds.
Australian duo Vic Mauro and Liam Foran trained with the club for the first time this morning, ready to make their debuts in tomorrow's Super League clash with London Broncos, and they will be only the first of a host of new arrivals at the Salford City Stadium over the next 18 months.
Koukash, a wealthy racehorse owner, intends to spend his way to bringing success and wants to make a start by bringing back the big names the club lost in the wake of their financial crisis.
Joel Moon (Leeds Rhinos), Daniel Holdsworth (Hull FC) and Matty Smith (Wigan Warriors) were all prised away at the height of the club's strife last year while Stefan Ratchford and Richie Myler were previous high-profile buys by Warrington Wolves.
"I want our boys back," Koukash said. "I'm not going to mention names but last year the so-called big clubs used our financial difficulties to entice our players away.
"Now, if it means me using our financial strength to entice them back, I will."
Koukash made the headlines earlier this week with his audacious move for Tomkins, which followed previous attempts to sign Warrington's Salford-born captain Adrian Morley and Castleford Tigers' 2011 Man of Steel Rangi Chase.
Today Koukash insisted the bid for Tomkins was genuine and that he is serious about transforming the fortunes of Salford.
"I expected those headlines because he is the best player," he said. "And it was a big cash offer.
"I don't know why people call it a publicity stunt. We don't lack ambition, we don't lack the finances, we don't lack anything. We have everything to make us a top side."
Koukash, who had never been to a rugby league match before last year, says his enthusiasm for the game went up another level after watching the City Reds come from 34-14 down to beat Hull KR last Sunday and claim their first points of the season.
"It was better than winning any horse race," he said. "And I've won quite a lot of races. I ended up standing on the touchline for the last six minutes and it was an absolutely amazing feeling.
"I got a bit emotional actually and I did things I maybe shouldn't have done as a chairman."
After putting Mauro and Foran, freshly arrived from Manly Sea Eagles, through their paces today, coach Phil Veivers says he hopes to make two more additions to his squad for this season.
One of the targets is Gold Coast Titans centre or second rower Luke O'Dwyer, 30, who is considering the offer of a three-year contract.
"We've been talking to Luke for the last week and hopefully we're in the final stages of negotiations," said Salford's new chief executive Ed Farish.
"I'm more hopeful now than I was two or three days ago."

ALBANY, GA -- Dougherty County commissioners were presented with last year's Farm Gate survey at Monday's County Commission meeting.
The survey puts a value on our farm commodities in Dougherty County like our pecans, cotton and peanuts.
The economic impact last year was $62 million to Dougherty County and most of that came from our pecan industry.
"China has gotten into the pecan business. And places like Texas and Louisiana, they weren't able this year to produce as many pecans due to the drought conditions out there," says Dougherty County Extension Director James Morgan.
Pecans are selling now for up to $3.50 a pound--that's up about a dollar and a half from a year ago.

Bertrand Piccard Flying High with Solar Impulse
Guests of honor at the Paris Air Show last week, Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, the visionaries behind the Solar Impulse project, were basking in the limelight at Le Bourget airport as their zero fuel aeroplane took off into the sunny skies of Paris yesterday. Piccard describes the thinking behind their inspirational project and why he thinks the 75 million euro price tag is a good investment. |
Inspiring change
Having circumnavigated the world in a hot air balloon in 1999, Bertrand Piccard's latest quest to do the same in a solar powered plane seems to be on track. Describing his latest adventure as "inspiring new solutions rather than actually creating them" (since there is no foreseeable way of building a solar-powered plane for commercial use), he says that their ambitious Solar Impulse project aims to change mentalities toward the use of renewable energy.
Overcoming fear and reducing dependency on fossil fuels
When asked about what will support real change among consumers rather than just a change in mentalities, Piccard explains that "it [real change] will start taking place when governments start putting legal systems into place to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels". For example, increasing petrol prices at the pump. For this to happen, he says people have to encourage their governments to reduce their dependency on fossil fuel and overcome the fear of change.
Video: Bertrand Piccard speaks about peak oil
Speaking at a bloggers breakfast last Friday attended by Camilla from WiserEarth, Piccard said that he was convinced that projects like Solar Impulse are needed to help motivate people to think differently about the benefits of technology.
When asked about the cost of the project, he said that they could have spent the 75 million euros on an advertising campaign. Instead they chose Solar Impulse.
Reducing his own dependency on fossil fuels
What does Bertrand Piccard do to reduce his own dependency of fossil fuels?
- drives a hybrid car
- heats swimming pool using solar
- reduced the heating in his house by 45%
- changed all lightbulbs
"When you invest in the long-term you end up saving money", says Piccard.
About the project – Flight as the source of dreams
Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, his co-pilot, will be attempting to fly Solar Impulse across the Atlantic in 2013 and around the world in 2014. The experimental solar plane that they have built has already shown it is capable of flying day and night in July 2010 thanks to a highly developed system of solar panels & superbly light plane design.
Stretching 64 metres long, the wing span of Solar Impulse is similar to that of the Airbus A340. The comparison, however, stops there; the plane is extremely light (just 1,600kg) and its average speed as around 70 km/h.
Some 12.000 photovoltaic cells are integrated into the wing to feed 4 electric motors and the lithium polymer batteries which enable the plane to fly at night.
