Longer answer: no, but it may be much harder to program efficiently depending on your application. If you want to build a Beowulf cluster with nodes of different speeds (or architectures) it will more difficult to break the problem up so that you are maximizing cpu usage across all nodes. If you have a program that does a lot of repetitive steps and the size of each piece is very small compared to the overall program and there isn't a lot of interprocess (inter-node) communication then you can use a heterogeneous cluster quite efficiently. Programs that are written as master/slaves may take advantage of this type of system (eg. ray-tracing and some geophysics applications). If you are running programs that have dependencies between the nodes, like inter-node communication, it can be more difficult to make the model run efficiently. Weather models (MM5, WRF) could work, but will run as slow as the slowest node. If you are writing your own software you can treat the problem similar to if you are addressing load balancing issues to better use the different systems in the cluster. Craig

Replacing Oil Pan Gasket '95 GMC K1500 4X4
Cant seem to find a thread detailing the procedures for this and the Chilton manual for the truck is too vague (does not differentiate 4X4).
Can anyone provide what is required to drop the pan, and also what is the best type replacement pan gasket to use?
All help is appreciated!
03-05-2013, 04:19 PM #2Give me a few mins to find my thread on doing this. It is a pain in the butt and will take alot of time.
- - - Updated - - -
I explain every step it just takes time to read through there's lots of pics to help. It took me a few days, but I also had a rear main leak which made it take longer because I needed to move the tranny. The oil pan only took a day and a half with help. Maybe a whole day only if you read my tips and hardships.

Wow that's quite a thread............phew! Lots of twists and turns..............
and I still can't see what it would take to drop the oil pan.
Still looking for some help on this guys.
03-05-2013, 10:20 PM #4Ill sum up. First you drain oil and remove the oil filter and filter adapter. Next you will remove the front drive shaft. Once that is out of the way you need to unbolt the y pipe from the headers(yes you need to do this). Now you will remove the tranny supports which are the two rods coming from the engine. Now you can take off the torque converter inspection plate and remove the starter.
Now for the pan removal: Support the front axle and unfasten the axle mounting bolts. Now you can unbolt the oil pan and let it drop.
- - - Updated - - -
I can not stress it enough you need to get the exhaust pipe loose and if possible remove the entire y pipe. I was luck me and my friend were able to flex it out of the way enough to remove the torque converter cover. If your alone that's not gonna work.

I'll start soaking everything in PB Blaster days before - that always works.
I'm not sure exactly what bolts u are referencing for the axle mounting. I'll have to look under there or in my manual.
I appreciate the quick break down - thanks!
03-05-2013, 10:44 PM #6Darn the one thing I dont have a pic of..... They are the bolts that hold the front diff to the frame.
Use as much penetrating oil as possible. Buy tons of it and get WD-40 to clean to bolts and parts you remove(it works well)

Ignore the attached pic it was an accident.

Was going to pick up a 250GB sammy pro but egg have ran out, Maybe i should wait or is there some thing else ?. And warranty does matter to me.
With a question as unspecific as this, wouldn't you have been better off doing a couple web searches? People will probably want to know your budget, which I suppose they could extrapolate from the current cost (in pounds) of the Samsung SSD. You could search for "SSD round-up 2012" or "...2013", or "best ssd for £(x)". Nonetheless, either W1zzard will show up with a LMGTFY or you'll get answers.
Look at this: Plextor M5P Xtreme Series PX-256M5Pro 2.5" 256GB S... http://thessdreview.com/our-reviews/plextor-m5-pro-extreme-ssd-review/ http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5233/plextor-m5-pro-xtreme-256gb-ssd-review/index.html
Just picked 2 up Corsair Force Series GT CSSD-F120GBGT-BK, all so noticed there is a slower write version but has a 5 year warranty. They should work just nice with my intel SSD's and going put my Solid 3 in my other system which is having the mobo and cpu from this one. Was going pick up a 7970 too but don't seem to be able to justify it.
check if they have latest Firmware 5.03 (Force GT´s) Corsair SSD SATAIII Firmware Page if not update em first in since in raid u can´t flash them !
This. Second choice after 840 Pro. OCZ Vector seems to be good too. But I wouldn't pay extra 50$ for it. High sequential compressible data speeds mean close to nothing in real world every day usage.
Just had a Intel 330 SSD die on a customers computer (2.3months old) i think ill be trying Plextor next
I have a Kingston SSDNow V300, since the beginning of this year. No complaints thus far, it has faster write speeds then the Crucial M4 (looking at review data) while it is not more expensive. However, there is no overprovisioning (unlike in case of the M4, AFAIK). We have a sticky thread on SSD reviews in the storage department of the forums, BTW.
Vertex 4 is pretty nice for the price. I also have a Force 3 in my laptop that is good, but the Vertex 4 works much better with uncompressible data. To be honest though, you are probably best going for one of the latest generation ones that gives you the best GB/$
The Force GT handles incompressible data a lot better than the Force 3 can, it's which is why I got the GTs over the 3s.
I've read good things about the drive. At the end of the day, it really depends what kind of user you are. You will notice a huge difference between any SSD and HDD, but for the average user, you will not notice much difference between a regular SSD and an enthusiast drive. I can't tell any difference in performance between my Force 3 and my Vertex 4 although the vertex 4 performs much better in benchmarks. I'd recommend looking at reliability first, then value. I only got the drives I did due to availability. The Force 3 was the only reasonably priced drive available over here when i bought it and i got the Vertex 4 on black Friday for about $150 (compared to a local price of $320). Oh - The vertex 4 has a 5 year warranty, which is better than most other drives too.
Mine was about 960 when i 1st raided them but dropped too 920 at 45% full. 4k reads are annoying at 25MBs while the writes are in the 300+ Oddly mine have v5.06
Well here's a pic of the firmware Maybe i did some time travel last week ?, although i don't remember as i might of come back a week before i went so i would not know and must of been hot were ever i was of course j/k

"This would have been a most-demanding task for security forces anywhere in the world, and we should acknowledge the resolve shown by the Algerians in undertaking it," the British leader said. "The responsibility for these deaths lies squarely with the terrorists."
Such Islamist militant activity is not new to Africa, including recent violence in Mali and Somalia.
Algeria's status as Africa's largest natural gas producer and a major supplier of the product to Europe heightens its importance to those who want to invest there. That interest is coupled with pressure to make sure foreign nationals, and their business ventures, are safe.
Energy and Mining Minister Youcef Yousfi, who a day earlier insisted Algeria can keep its gas facilities secure without foreign forces' help, said he believes the targeted gas facility will be back running "in the shortest possible time" and that foreign workers will soon return. Several foreign companies, including Statoil and BP, evacuated their workers from Algeria after the incident.
"I don't think that these workers have left definitively Algeria," Yousfi told reporters, according to the Algerian Press Service. "Maybe some left ... to reassure their families, but I want to ensure that no company or no worker permanently left the country."
Nations mourn dead, try to account for others
Here is a breakdown on the status of hostages from around the world who were involved in the crisis:
Colombia's president said one of its citizens is presumed dead.
No known French hostages are unaccounted for, the defense ministry said.
A man identified as Yann Desjeux died after telling French newspaper Sud Ouest that he and 34 other hostages were treated well. It was unclear what led to his death.
Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Minoru Kiuchi and officials from JGC, a Yokohama-based engineering firm, saw and identified the bodies of seven Japanese citizens killed in the crisis, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga announced late Monday.
Three Japanese remain unaccounted for, according to Suga.
Three hostages were on their way back home, state media reported. There is a "worrying possibility" that another is dead while a fifth is unaccounted for, the agency said.
Five Norwegians are missing, while eight are safe, according to Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

Yorkshire's Iain Wardlaw to remain at Headingley
12:14pm Thursday 1st November 2012 in Sport By Graham Hardcastle
YORKSHIRE fast bowler Iain Wardlaw has signed a new deal to remain at Headingley until the end of the 2014 season – and believes he is part of a squad with the potential to win the LV= County Championship in the near future.
Wardlaw, also now eligible to play international cricket for Scotland, came to the county's attention after a string of impressive performances for Cleckheaton in the Bradford League, signing an initial contract midway through the 2011 campaign.
He has played four Championship, eight 40-over and seven Twenty20 matches for the county, taking a total of 17 wickets.
Wardlaw took advantage of Yorkshire's injury crisis at last month's Champions League t20 in South Africa to impress in the last two group fixtures against Highveld Lions and Chennai Super Kings.
He even claimed the prized wicket of India captain MS Dhoni in the defeat against CSK, helping to demonstrate that he has a lot to offer in a White Rose shirt.
Wardlaw is part of a strong fast bowling department at Headingley, with Ryan Sidebottom, Steve Patterson, Jack Brooks, Liam Plunkett, Moin Ashraf and Oliver Hannon-Dalby also vying for places.
And that is part of the reason why the 27-year-old is confident that silverware is just around the corner after promotion in 2012.
"We want to push on and mount a title challenge in the Championship, he said.
"Even if it's not next year, we've got a squad of players who can really show their worth over the next three or four years."
Wardlaw could follow experienced former Warwickshire allrounder Neil Carter in making himself available to play for Scotland.
There has been a recent change in the regulations on international availability, allowing players with British passports and Scottish parentage to qualify instead of just those who were only born in the country or live in the country for 100 days per year.
County players such as Rob Taylor (Leicestershire), Richard Coughtrie (Gloucestershire) and David Murphy (Northamptonshire) have also become available as a result, and Wardlaw has a Scottish father.

West Seattle High School Changes Lunch Time
The West Seattle Blog scooped me on a story I had on the backburner. (Actually the story is written by Simone Machmiller for the WSHS newspaper, The Chinook.)
West Seattle High had one lunch hour and a short "breakfast break." They will now have two lunch hours and no breakfast break (similar to what some other high schools have). Of course, change doesn't come easily.
This happened because of an agreement between the district and the union that represents lunch workers. The district signed a contract with the union promising to work with the union on these types of issues and when it didn't, the union filed an unfair labor practice complaint. The district had failed to bargain with the union on this issue and they reached agreement after negotiations. Cleveland and McClure were also part of this agreement.
The principal, Ruth Medsker, came up with the two lunch idea, one before the 4th period and one after it. Naturally the kids will not all now be able to eat together and are not happy about it. Some student clubs had met during lunch hour and now that will have to change. I will say that just one lunch period is a lot for a large school and many kids skip lunch to not stand in line for food.
The students point out this is the 6th schedule change in the last 4 years for the senior class.

What is happening to lunch? My kids, in 4 SPS schools over the last two years, universally report lunch is too short, hot lunch lines are too long, and/or the "splits" are all messed up so they are not at lunch with friends in other classes. Lunch is about all I remember of some years of my public school life. :-]
- rascal said...
Wish Hale would have multiple lunch periods. Especially now that they are growing from 1100 kids to 1300 or so. Seems like chaos to have them all eat at one time, not to mention enormous lunch lines that discourage kids from eating school lunch.
- Patrick said...
I liked having lunch at the same time, so I could sit with my friends. Somehow we managed, even with 2000 kids. Of course we didn't pretend that 25 minutes was long enough for lunch.
- dan dempsey said...
WSHS always had a long lunch as with 1336 students in 2006-2007 many students went to PCC McDonald's Safeway Jack in the Box etc.
The School even had supervisors in some of these areas at lunch time.
The student unrest might be if the lunch period is shortened they will not have time to walk to Jack in the Box meet with friends and return to school on time.
The WSHS musical periods scheduling disasters began when MGJ autocratically dictated and Santorno delivered the news that WSHS four period day was out because math needed to be improved.
As soon as the change was made math scores at WSHS declined. - 11/19/10, 11:19 PM
- dan dempsey said...
With about 350 students less at WSHS than in 2006-2007 is anyone telling the students this change is in their best interests?
The Schools increasingly seem more concerned with Big Adult issues than students or improving student learning.
Explain that TfA thing to me one more time. - 11/19/10, 11:25 PM
Not so much a "contract" but the LAW actually dictates that (as in any relationship), one party is not to make changes without the other knowing and having an opportunity to discuss and come to agreement.
The second breakfast at WSHS was changed (from 15 minutes to 5) over the summer without that opportunity. Around 200 kids a day ate at second breakfast.
Since long lunch lines create multiple problems for both students and staff, a good compromise was reached.
Anyone see the PI story this week about Ingraham students breaking into houses during their one lunch period? Another of "multiple problems". - 11/20/10, 7:44 AM
- dan dempsey said...
Yup the morning breakfast move to 5 minutes was ridiculous. How well thought out was that?
In regard to Ingraham ... Blaine High School was largely a closed campus. There was one brief experience with open campus that lasted less than three months.
A large increase in shop lifting during high school lunch time occurred. Thus ended open campus for Blaine High. A very limited number of BHS students continue to have open campus privileges due to running start etc.
Note I never heard of these types of problems with WSHS open campus .... maybe a bit of weed smoked under the happy tree however. - 11/20/10, 8:27 AM
I guess we come at this from a different perspective.
I want my child to make better eating choices and the less time she spends in Taco Bell or the like, the better. - 11/20/10, 10:23 AM

"As soon as the change was made math scores declined at WSHS."
You must really be cherry picking your data there. Where is the conclusion that a change in WSHS's schedule specifically caused the Math scores to dive? Wouldn't you have to wait 2 years after the schedule change to properly look at the 10th grade scores with the new schedule in effect? Wouldn't any decline in WASL scores have something to do with the new math adoption? Weren't you the one who made a nice chart a couple of years ago titled, "Why You Should Not Trust WASL Scores"?
Besides WSHS being below the District ave. for math WASL scores annually (in the last 10 years, before & after the schedule change), how about looking at SAT & AP Test score scores, "N" and "D" grades in core subjects, attendance, suspensions, etc?
For a very interesting discussion of the uses/misuse of data connected to WSHS specifically, please look at this 2007 link from this Blog:
In particular, Charlie Mas has some strong arguments in both of his responses about cherry picking & manipulating data.
Tell me this also- why was WSHS "rewarded" a 3 year, $1M+/year grant from the Seattle City Levy (along with Franklin & Sealth) which were identified by the city to have the most struggling/at risk 9th graders? This was rewarded during the old 4-period day schedule.
The school is still struggling with the same problem, so I don't think there's a convincing connection with the effect of a specific type of schedule. A lot of other reasons must be in play also. - 11/20/10, 11:12 AM
- Seattle Parent said...
The WS Blog now has an update as to the Union 609's role in this lunch schedule change at WSHS
http://westseattleblog.com/2010/11/followup-unions-role-in-west-seattle-hs-schedule-change#more-55666 - 11/20/10, 11:36 AM
I see by the WS Blog update that some students are "protesting".
When I went to high school in the 1960's there was a war on.
We had better things to do than "protest" the lunch schedule becuase we couldn't see our friends.
My oh my. - 11/20/10, 11:46 AM
- dan dempsey said...
My point was not that WSHS is not still struggling or was never a struggling school.
My point is that the musical schedules game has improved nothing. It has produced an environment where unstable administrative actions and changing schedules are the norm.
I certainly did not mean to imply that correlation was causation. - 11/20/10, 8:04 PM
- dan dempsey said...
I thought that the plan was to provide better nourishing breakfasts in 2010-2011. Eliminating Breakfast is not a path to better nutrition. Hopefully every WSHS student can get a nutritionally sound breakfast at home.

this hat I need for burdastyle sewing vintage modern contest, I wanned to buy it but was too expensive so I bought a simple ordinary hat from internet and I transform it in my veiled hat :-) I cut it on back side and reshaped cause was too big for my head. I used some hard paper from gift bags to shape it as a joben. After I sew a matching hat of black velvet and covered the hat. the white ribbon its made in white shifon.

Are You Aware Of The Video Communication Trend?
If Not, You Should Simply Start Right Now And Incorporate Video Communication Into Your Online Marketing Strategy!
Video Communication Is Relatively New But It Is Here To Stay!
In any case, the essential factor to recognize is that you must utilize effective video communication strategies. With regards to video sharing your objective is to maximize the effect of your videos. I have highlighted five important marketing approaches just below. I encourage you to take these following tips into consideration and add them to your current promotional approach. Also watch the following video featuring Mark Egan. Click on his name and visit his site too! He makes some intersting points that overlap with the ones highlighted below:
1. Video Communication Means Becoming Proficient At Editing Videos.
This is not a tedious exercise! You can create a successful video by using simple text and special effects. There are a number of online courses that teach various creative techniques. You can also gain knowledge by viewing other videos. In any case, if you are creating your own video content you will need to learn the process. Consistent practice will put you on the path to proficiency. Ultimately the goal of online video marketing is to create the best impression with your video clips.
2. Video Communication Entails Uploading Video Clips To The Social Networks.
The use of video has now become the foremost strategy for online commentary. It represents a vital component in the world of internet marketing. YouTube has facilitated the ability to share video subject matter relatively recently. It was not too long ago that this concept was fairly difficult to accomplish. Today a video can be viewed by numerous individuals around the globe and have a dramatic impact. If you are about to embark on an internet marketing campaign, you should be aware of the importance of these video based platforms.
3. Keywords In Your Clip's Title Is An Important Video Communication Component.
Video marketing sites have unique evaluation systems for their visual subject matter. As a result it is important that the primary keyword associated with a given video be placed in the title. This represents one of the most critical marketing steps that you should do! Even though different aspects are considered by various video marketing entities in the ranking process, this step is paramount. Incorporate your keyword accordingly and label your respective video correctly. It will have a direct affect on how well your video is ranked!
4. Join Similar Niche Groups That Utilize Video Communication.
Video marketing sites like Youtube target every single niche. It is important to join whatever group that your niche embraces and become an active participant. Be visible and work on making a positive contribution. Individuals will begin to trust your imput and view you as an expert. As you become more recognized, you will be able to direct individuals to your website. This is accomplished by placing a link to your site inside the video signature. You ultimately want your prospects to find you, leave comments about your videos and purchase your offerings.
5. Use Video Communication To Maximize Your Viewing Audience
Generally, people do not flock to see a specific video as soon as it is posted. However, occasionally this does happen. This means that you should structure your video for a wide range of end users. Posting videos is fine for attracting potential customers, but it should be accompanied with a well thought out marketing strategy. In any case, you definitely should use numerous social networks for maximum exposure. The Fusion Wall is the only platform that gives you the ability to post a video instantly to over two hundred social networks! As your viewers increase, so do your conversions.

On May 1 the Occupy Wall Street organization planned protests throughout America. Why has May 1 been a day of protest of left-wing organizations over the years? May 1 is May Day, which is the main holiday of the Communists and socialized governments.
These radicals are pushing for the end of individual freedom and limited government. What they want is expanded government and control. They talk about taxing the rich, but never talk about limiting the expanded role of the government.
America's greatness is from individual freedom without government interference. These progressive liberal socialists are leading America to its internal death.
Thomas Jefferson warned America that a government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have.

The Wolfram|Alpha Web site went live today, accompanied by a lot of noise and mixed reviews.
Most of the hoopla came from people wondering whether the new site, launched by former particle physicist Stephen Wolfram and his eponymous company, will give Google a run for its money.
Only time will tell. But Wolfram|Alpha and Google aim to do such different things that the services may ultimately prove to be complementary. Everybody knows Google, but once it was just the little search engine that could. Enter Wolfram|Alpha, touted as a "computational knowledge engine" that searches its own extensive database in an attempt to answer a user's question. Think of it as Ask Jeeves with PhD.
Some reviews hailed Wolfram|Alpha as a breakthrough for the semantic Web because the site responds to queries written in sentences rather than keywords. "It's going to be a challenger in important places where Google is presently blind," The Guardian's Charles Arthur wrote today on the site's technology blog. More succinctly, Wolfram|Alpha's goal aims to give people direct answers to queries rather than send them to other sites where they may find what they are seeking, the BBC reported today on its Web site.
But the new site's use of semantic queries can draw blanks, if the system can't understand what's being asked. We tried the query, "Is Wolfram|Alpha any good?" The answer: "Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input," its standard response when stumped. Google, on the other hand, sent us to an intriguing item on Twine: "Wolfram|Alpha is Coming—and It Could be as Important as Google (But It's Completely Different)"
InformationWeek magazine's Michael Hickins noted in a blog post yesterday that the new site is more comfortable answering questions about the International Space Station than obscure baseball trivia. Associated Press reporter Brian Bergstein called Wolfram|Alpha a niche Web site for scientists and technologists, saying "there aren't many ways everyday Web users would benefit from using it over other resources."
Wolfram, the man, urged patience with his newest creation. "What we are being able to release to the world now is something that is clearly only the beginning of a long process of kind of encoding the world's knowledge in computable form," he said in a video interview on the BBC Web site.

Simply put, it will be revolutionary. Any comparison to Google is for headlines and the populous, but this will change how we find and compute data, no question. From some basic "playing around" with Wolfram|Alpha I could do things that I've wondered for years why Google (or others) couldn't do.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisFrom first experiences, Wolfram Alpha seems capable of providing insightful answers... but only if you ask the right questions! This is pretty reminiscent of the web 10 years ago where there was a clear mismatch between the questions being asked and the information being regurgitated. But the fact that we've moved towards a far more productive web bodes well for Alpha - my money is on an increasingly sophisticated understanding of what to ask converging with an increasingly powerful engine for providing relevant answers over the next months/years.
Of course, there will always be those who ask questions that the system struggles with, not matter how sophisticated it gets!
Wolfram Alpha is not and will not be a Google killer -- it's simply a different beast. It's a growing knowledge base with a solid analytics/query capabilities and it's already quite good at what it does -- again, not at what Google does. If it keeps momentum and gets better it can become a major well known resource once the hype is over. As for asking it shrewd questions try "What are you?" and others described here:
Well, it had no idea what to do with my question about the number of monkeys in China, but if you ask about the number of people in China you get some nice graphs and such.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisOn the one hand, it seems like folly. It's quicker and more effective to search for sq. ft. surface area earth, than have to write it all out in complete questions until the software understands you. On the other hand, if the software learns phrasing and intent based on a multitude of being asked questions and then what people are clicking on when given options... this could be huge, moving forward in human-computer interaction.
They say truth is stranger than fiction, but when fiction comes true...well that is another story.
When I finished my thriller, DARK END OF THE SPECTRUM (DEOS), two years ago I never imagined that some of it would come true!
With the reported release of the Wolfram/Alpha search engine a significant plot element of DEOS will come true.
The imaginary chip/program in my novel runs spiders all over the Internet recording and logging the location of specific information. When you ask the chip a question it locates the relevant information and uses algorithms to produce the most correct answer. Only this imaginary chip becomes sentient as it gains more knowledge and within two weeks of its launch has the IQ of a teenager in the novel.
Doesn't that sound similar to how the Wolfram/Alpha search engine works?

The computer world grows once again! Unfortunately the American Middle Class has fallen away in uneducated ignorance and poverty, stolen from the intellectual circle by madcap advertising propagandists and dishonest junk marketing practices by Microsoft and their ilk, the games-players and such! Perhaps the larger English speaking Asian population will enjoy and ameliorate this region of human endeavor, and stretch it out to an even greater capacity! Thank you for this great effort to bring to the proletariat, through the internet, mental stimulation and a chance to better themselves with knowledge otherwise unattainable. In the smaller Global village, we need less fire-power, more intelligence and fewer hot heads, and the retraction of the aggressor in the world is reflected in the demise of American prowess, dollar wise and in a military sense! May the oil of the world go to those with the most schooling, not those with the biggest armies! Congratulations, China, on your recent victory in Iran, the purchase of the South Azadegan Oil fields, the largest oil find in the Middle East in the last thirty years, was a coup for world peace! Shutting Israel's warmongering mouth forever, illustrating to America that threatening postures are not rewarded with oil, and opening the way to plutonium and its Chinese delivery systems to the Middle East, and a balanced Nuclear threat of "Mutual Destruction" there. Your Intelligence is well respected, and does not go unnoticed! Please contribute to the internet, as the Americans fall away, broke and in despair, and reconnoiter, reassess, consolidate, as they will, and come back to the table, educated and respectable this time, but broke, as you have so deemed for them! The internet , and the Wolfram/Alpha will still need a venue!

I respond to the Saturday Forum column "Nation must be willing to pay for justice," from attorney Michael E. Flowers. He said the nation must pay so courts can fulfill their constitutional responsibility.
He noted, "California put 'closed' signs on courtrooms and clerks offices in 24 counties in 2012," despite four years of budget cuts totaling $659 million.
I call attention to the 1995 murder trial of O.J. Simpson. California taxpayers spent an estimated $9 million prosecuting him. For that much money, it should have been able to convict an innocent person, let alone someone guilty as Simpson was.
Perhaps Flowers would care to mention how much Americans currently pay for our legal system, which I suspect costs even more than health care.

It is a sad fact but 20 or so years after we shuffle of this mortal coil most of us will be but a distant and rapidly fading memory. All the hours and effort we are now expending researching our ancestors will die with us unless we preserve it in some way in a form that our descendants can recognise and understand. If all we leave behind is a thick file containing some certificates, scribbled notes and perhaps some printouts of census records then chances are that this will be discarded along with most of the other ephemera that we have managed to accumulate along life's highway. |

Herlinda Soto, a Gulf War veteran, was 43 years old when she disappeared over the July 4 holiday weekend in 1993.
Because of the large quantity of blood that was found in her home, police suspected foul play.
"Her car was found 4 miles from her home at the edge of the desert, and there was blood inside the trunk," said Detective Mike Aman, with the El Paso Police Department's Crimes Against Persons division. "We have never found her body. It appears that her body was transported in her car, and from that we gather that whoever moved the body had help."
A friend remembers talking to Soto on the phone around 11 p.m. on July 2, the Friday before the 1993 July 4 holiday weekend. That was the last time anyone heard from Soto.
"Her husband had come by earlier in the day to pick up their two young children for a visit. The couple
"There was blood inside the home, too" Aman said. "We believe that Herlinda Soto was killed in a struggle, but we still don't know how she was killed."
Aman said the former husband, who since moved to Puerto Rico, denied having anything to do with her disappearance, and his alibis for that weekend seemed to check out.
Herlinda Soto lived in the 1500 block of Bill Ogden in East El Paso. Her car was found in the 12000 block of Pine Springs Drive, which was undeveloped at the time.
Soto, a reservist, was a veteran of Operation Desert Storm. She was 5-feet, 6-inches tall, weighed 150 pounds, and had brown eyes and shoulder-length brown hair.
"There is somebody who knows something about this case," Aman said. "It's been nearly 20 years, and it's time for this person or persons to come forward with the information."
Detective Aman can be reached at the El Paso Police Department, 915-564-7010.

In the mercifully small genre of Hollywood movies adapted from self-help books, "What to Expect When You're Expecting" ranks roughly in the top third, above "He's Just Not That Into You" and "Think Like a Man," below "Mean Girls," and way below the seminal (sorry) "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask." The movie's a canned studio confection — one of those ensemble comedy-dramas with multiple plots and predictable dilemmas, and it's closer to a greeting card like "Valentine's Day" than anything else. But the writing is sharp and the performances bright, and if you've been through the forced gestational march known as pregnancy, there are knowing laughs to be had. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and stay away.
The setting is Atlanta — or the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's version of Atlanta, where every day is blissfully sunny except when the characters are sad and it rains. The story lines represent every variation on having a baby short of cloning. Wendy (Elizabeth Banks), a children's book author and pregnancy store proprietor, and her husband Gary (Ben Falcone, of "Bridesmaids") are finally with child after years of trying. Baby photographer Holly (Jennifer Lopez) and Alex (Rodrigo Santoro) are adopting an infant from Ethiopia. Rosie (Anna Kendrick) and Marco (Chace Crawford) are 20-something food truck rivals whose one-night stand lands them in the obstetrics ward. (Don't worry; Marco is mostly excited to be a dad and the A-word is allowed nowhere near the script.)

I happen to love these style missions, however i am encountering a problem with this one. No matter where I start the mission, be it in a New Internet game or on a LAN with no one else on it, I always get the same error message. "NO MESSAGES RECEIVED FOR XX SECONDS" What gives? I have been able to at least see the menu interface and it looks mighty nice. Just wish I could play it.
this...this is...my BOOMSTICK!!
Do you have Resistance version 1.85? If so, you're having problems even loading it up on your own PC? I've never heard of getting that msg like that before when it's being played only locally on the client's machine.
Just to make sure, Open Opflash, click on Multiplayer, then click NEW at the next screen. Now Select the mission and click OK. Choose a team and start the mission. If you're getting that msg while playing like this, then I'm not sure what is going on.
yup, thats what's happening. I have 1.85 (resistance) and i goto OPFlash Res>Multiplayer>LAN>New>RTS 3>Choose Team>Start>ERROR ERROR ***Don't know what's going on. Getting POed cuz it looks cool as hell.
EDIT- I got it working and OMFG!!! EXCELLENT WORK!! I sat there for close to an hour just messing around. Once I find a server that this is playing on, I'm never gonna leave the house! Simply beautiful work! I'm amazed that the AI can actually fly a chopper. I had a sniper flying me around Nogova and LANDING so I could get out and take the town. I am speechless(but my fingers still work! ) Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see what happens next in this awesome mission!
Great! Glad you got it working.
I've just updated the link for another new version to fix some bugs and add a few requested features.
Bug Fixes:
-Research bug where "Research Aborted" msg keeps repeating when building dies
-Base buildings were not being added back to total base count for that team after repair. Now they are.
New Additions:
-You can now set respawn to any Command HQ except for an enemy Command HQ.
-Added "Recycle Nearest Building" to MCU Build Menu. Now when a base building is destroyed, you can recycle it and place it somewhere else if you like, or if you're the enemy you can clean up the base you just wiped out. ONLY the MCU (Mobile Construction Unit) can do this.
-Added "Remove Nearest Building" to MCU build menu. Now you can remove an undamaged building from your base. If it is the primary building of that type, i.e. it has a marker on the map, the marker will disappear and reappear wherever you rebuild. You can also do this to enemy buildings, but ONLY the MCU has this ability, so unless it's a building they made in the middle of nowhere, it's not a very safe way to win. =)
Note that since the team Commander is the only one who can access the MCU menu, they are the only ones who can use these new features.
Soon I may make it so that you can airlift your MCU. That way you could actually recycle the buildings, load up the MCU on the chopper and then go rebuild on an island, or just somewhere else after the enemy finds you.
That would be awesome if we could airlift the MCU. Say drive upto the rear of a CH-47 and have an option appear in the "Get Out" menu that acts like "Put MP5 Mag. to CH-47" but instead of the mp5 mag, its the MCU. Then hop in, fly to destination, and walk around back and access the menu again and "Get MCU from CH-47". And you could have it so that the CH-47 is the only chopper capapble of carrying vehicles, like 2 hmmwvs or jeeps at a time, or 1 tank/mcu. Just my .02 Hope this helps ya!
Actually the Chinook and the Mi17 can already carry up to 3 vehicles. You can fully man tanks, etc. with driver, gunner and commander and when you get near them, click "Load Nearest Vehicle" and it'll have them get out, get into chopper, and then it'll load them and their vehicle into chopper. It disappears when it does that. When you want to drop them off, there is an action to unload each vehicle. The vehicles are unloaded, the driver, etc. gets out of chopper and into the vehicle.
It doesn't work with anything in the cargo of the vehicle though, like passengers.
i cant seem to load the MCU into the Chinook, every other vehicle loads fine, just not the MCU.
Here's a really stupid question, but WHAT IS THIS? It sounds awesome, is it like a Real-TimeStrategy for OFP or something?
"Hence, although I now have two characters as well as two appearances, one is wholly evil, but the other is still good."

yeah, that's exactly what it is. I find it to be THE best mission that I have played. I am waiting for a server to start running it.
