2. Re: Flash Lite 4 & N8 & TouchEvent
CellySource Sep 1, 2010 9:00 AM (in response to terstepki)I tried duplicating your scenario and found the same issue. I'm not proficient enough to know what the cause is? If I figure something out I'll post.

terstepki Sep 1, 2010 1:32 PM (in response to terstepki)Here are the files:http://www.cohous.com/Customers/TouchApps.zip
You can find two different FL4 WRT app there. These swf's touch events are working at Android as a Flash 10.1(absolutely same code, just different Flash versions.)
I build an Sis versins. But i coudnt try it on N8 yet. In fact sis files for S60 series so i am not sure if they are going to install or not. -
4. Re: Flash Lite 4 & N8 & TouchEvent
chall3ng3r Oct 4, 2010 9:31 AM (in response to terstepki)Hi,
I have never used FL in WRT application because of poor performance and most of the FSCommands not working.
I have not experimented with FL4 yet, just waiting for my Nokia N8 to arrive, but I can suggest you to look for FL4 GestureEvent's class help to capture touch events.
It's my guess that these direct event would work only in standalone mode, not in browser, as browser catches most of the stuff before FL does. Just a guess for the moment
Also note, all FP 10.1 APIs don't work in FL4. There are lists for supported and unsupported classes and APIs list in FL4 docs, take a look and make changes to the code as required.
Best regards,
// chall3ng3r //

Arterial switch operation using aortic homograft for transposition of the great arteries with pulmonary regurgitation. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 16613229 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
We report a case of a 15 month-old boy who underwent the arterial switch operation using cryopreserved aortic homograft for transposition of the great arteries with pulmonary regurgitation, with coexisting right ventricular outflow tract obstruction precluding atrial switch operation. Follow-up echocardiography at 6 months showed trivial neoaortic valve regurgitation, no significant systemic outflow obstruction, with good cardiac function. In small children, the choice of material for left ventricular outflow tract reconstruction is one of the most crucial issues. Cryopreserved homograft has been one of the primary options for the aortic valve replacement in small children because of the ease of suturing and excellent hemostasis. |

How Much Does a Noise Violation Ticket Cost?
A noise violation ticket is given to those who go against the noise level laws in a certain area. Noise ordinances were created so that citizens can reside in their communities contentedly, without disturbance. However, there are instances when the law is abused and a noise violation ticket is issued. There are many contributing factors as to why a person is given a noise ticket. While the cost of a ticket may vary from one case to another, there is a base amount to which many places, including domestic, academic and business establishments, adhere.
How much does it cost?
- Depending on the number of offenses, the costs can be anywhere from $50 to $250. Offenses after the first one can be upwards of $500 to $1,000, depending on the number of offenses and geographical location.
- According to GreeleyGove.com, the penalty for violators in Greely City, Colorado, costs up to $1,000. The fine may be reduced to $250 if the violator attends Neighborhood Conduct class and renders 15 hours of approved community service. Repeat offenders will be fined $1,750 regardless of class or community service.
- At the Village of Misenheimer, North Carolina, violators of the noise ordinance will be fined no more than $500, whereas individuals who break the said law in relation to operating or parking a vehicle will be charged no more than $50.
- In the City of East Lansing, noise violation fines cost $250 – $500.
What is going to be included?
- Depending on the location where the violation occurred, the punishment for noise violation may include imprisonment. Punishment in some areas includes an incarceration period of 90 days in addition to the fines, particularly for violators who commit second offense. Other cities penalize offenders with fines and jail time of up to 6 months.
- In other cities, violators are required to perform hours of community service in addition to paying fines.
What are the extra costs?
- Other states require violators to pay for neighborhood conduct classes, which can cost up to $750.
Factors that influence the price:
- Type of noise violation. A noise violation can be one of a few different types. These include loud and raucous noise, construction noise, sound-producing and music-reproducing equipment, amplified sound, and vehicle engine, horn and vehicle noise. In Minneapolis, for example, amplified sound from vehicles can result to a fine of up to $500 for the first offense, $700 for the second violation, and a maximum amount for the third offense. In Colorado State University, a noise violation ticket issued due to loud parties can cost as much as $1,000 per resident living in the house.
- Time of day. Noise violations that occur between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. are likely to cause a considerable amount of annoyance and discomfort to other people in the vicinity. Such offenses usually call for maximum fines and/or punishment.
- Audibility from the property line. When authorities receive noise violation reports, they typically dispatch a police officer to the neighborhood. The officer will stand at the edge of the property being complained and determine if the noise being made deserves a ticket.
- Number of offenses. In some cities, first time offenders will usually be fined with the minimum amount. In some areas, the minimum fine is $250 for the first offense, $350 for the second and $500, which is the maximum amount, for the third offense. In other cities, the maximum penalties can go up to $1,000.
Tips to know:
- If it is your first time receiving a noise violation ticket, you may want to be polite when speaking with the police because they may reduce the fines if you are respectful. But make sure not to get reported again as the authorities will add the amount they did not charge you for the first offense. So, if your ticket was dropped to $300 from $1,000 and you commit a second violation, the police will fine you the full $1,000 plus the $700 they did not charge you for your first offense.
- Police do not usually use decibel meters to assess potential violations. In some cities, the authorities have no set decibel limit and treat each case subjectively.
- If you receive a noise violation ticket, you will be given a date and time to appear in court for an arraignment, during which possible plea dispositions will be discussed.
- One way to avoid getting a noise violation ticket is to let neighbors know of any event or situation that may cause disturbance. Another option is to get a noise permit, which can be obtained at the police station. However, neighbor complaints can lead to cancellation of the permit and issuance of noise tickets.
How can I save money?
- Noise violation tickets are normally issued to people who disturb the peace and quiet of a neighborhood. In the event that a noise ticket is inevitable, you should remember to speak courteously to the police officer dispatched to investigate the noise coming from your property. Police are known to lower the ticket cost if you speak with them respectfully.
- In states that require community service for noise ordinance violators, it is advisable that offenders perform the obligatory community service for the specified number of hours to avoid paying the maximum fine.

| Accepted Version 207kB View at publisher |
Zebra finches have played a central role in the discovery of a variety of maternal effects over the past decade, with females shown to adjust resource allocation to their eggs in response to variables such as the appearance of their partner, their own condition, and the diet on which they are maintained. In addition to being the focus of some of the most high profile individual studies that have influenced maternal effects research in birds, the multitude of zebra finch studies together provide the most comprehensive set of data to illuminate general patterns and compare different maternally derived variables. Surprisingly, to date, virtually all of this work has focused on captive populations of the zebra finch that have been domesticated for many generations, and which are typically held under relatively constant environmental and dietary conditions. Here we report the first data on resource allocation across the egg laying sequence in a free-living wild population. Reassuringly we find that the patterns that have been found in the majority of studies of domesticated populations with respect to investment across the laying sequence were all present in the wild population. The size and mass of eggs increased through the laying sequence whilst the concentration of carotenoids significantly decreased across the laying sequence. Although there was no significant pattern with respect to testosterone across the laying sequence the first two eggs had a higher level of testosterone than the last few eggs in the clutch, which is also consistent with the findings of earlier studies in captive populations.

Can there be a large "silver lining" from environmental disasters? A Chinese city called Harbin offers another natural experiment today for thesting this hypothesis. A chemical plant exploded in Harbin and this has increased the local river's toxic benzene content. Clearly this city will need a new drinking water source.
Will this shock lead to new industrial regulation? Will the Chinese government now demand that industries engage in greater precautionary investment to reduce the probability of future negative shocks?
Since China is not a democracy, it does not have a free press. People in Harbin may have trouble organizing to voice their concerns with the status quo. In this case, industrial polluters face fewer incentives to take costly actions to reduce their possible environmental impacts. In the United States, only in the early 1980s was the Toxic Release Inventory created. Does China have a similar data base that it freely distributes to people? Somehow, I doubt it.
Is Harbin a "green city"? Clearly a city's industrial composition matters in determining its environmental quality. A city that specializes in chemical plants is at greater risk to experience these types of negative shocks.
This interesting article also highlights the cross-boundary issues that arise with water pollution. Russia is worried that its water quality may be affected by the pollution from Harbin. If Russia could credibly punish China for the externality it imposes on Russia's water quality, then China would be more likely to take ex-ante steps to minimize the likelihood of future industrial accidents that pollute the water.
Toxic Leak Shuts Down Chinese City
By JOE McDONALD, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 7 minutes ago
BEIJING - A Chinese city of 3.8 million people closed schools and was trucking in drinking water Wednesday after shutting down its water system following a chemical plant explosion that officials said polluted a nearby river with toxic benzene.
The announcement of the shutdown in Harbin in China's frigid northeast set off panicked buying this week of bottled water, milk and soft drinks that left supermarket shelves bare.
The water system was shut down at midnight Tuesday and probably will stay out of service for four days, said an official of its Municipal Water Supply Group. He would give only his surname, Chen.
An explosion Nov. 13 at a chemical plant in the nearby city of Jilin left the Songhua River, Harbin's main water source, polluted with benzene, a toxic, flammable liquid, the government said.
Though local officials denied it, water supplies were also cut in at least one district of Songyuan city in neighboring Jilin province, about 90 miles southwest of Harbin, residents said.
A doctor from the Ningjiang District Central Hospital and a teacher from Ningjiang No. 1 Middle School said the water had been cut off for between five to seven days already. Both refused to give their names when reached by telephone.
Another Songyuan resident from a separate district said his neighborhood's water supply had been uninterrupted because it came from a well, not the river.
Russian television reports said Wednesday that concern was growing over the pollution threat in the Russian border city of Khabarovsk, about 435 miles down river from Harbin on the Songhua.
In Harbin, officials tried to downplay the crisis.
"The provincial government is sending in bottled drinking water from other cities," Chen said. "It must be very inconvenient for the public — taking showers or flushing toilets. But this is an emergency and it will only last a few days."
Schools canceled classes through Nov. 30 "for fear that catering and sanitation cannot be secured," the official Xinhua News Agency said.
There is no sign that benzene got into the city water system, said an employee of the Harbin Environmental Bureau who would give only his surname, Wang.
Water service was reinstated for about 12 hours on Wednesday after experts concluded the benzene wouldn't reach the city until Thursday afternoon, the city government said on its Web site.
There were no reports of anyone injured by drinking the polluted water but 15 hospitals were ordered to be ready to treat possible poisoning cases.
Harbin is one of the coldest places in China, with overnight temperatures this week of 10 degrees. It is best known abroad for its winter "ice lantern" festival, when giant slabs of ice cut from the Songhua are used to construct copies of famous buildings and artworks in public parks.
Companies that supply steam heat to buildings have been ordered to ensure they have adequate water supplies from wells in order to ensure that heat is not interrupted, Xinhua reported.
The explosion in Jilin killed five people and forced the evacuation of 10,000 others. It was blamed on human error in a tower that processed benzene.
The disaster highlighted the precarious state of China's water supplies.
The country's 1.3 billion people and the factories and farms of its booming economy compete for scarce supplies. The government says all of China's major rivers are dangerously polluted.
Due to its vast population, China ranks among countries with the smallest water supplies per person.
In Harbin, the government is using wells to supply hospitals and some residential areas, according to local news reports. Retailers were warned not to overcharge for drinking water.
The shutdown affects the city of Harbin but not its suburbs, Chen said. The city has 3.8 million people, while the surrounding area has about 5 million more.
Photos in newspapers and on news Web sites showed people in packed supermarkets pushing carts overflowing with cases of bottled water and soft drinks.
Families prepared by filling buckets and bathtubs with water while the government said supplies were still safe, according to state media.

gonna be interesting to see how far this group can go next year, lots of potential to go along with will and some talented sophs. i think finishing the season somewhere in the top 20 would be a huge success, but maybe i'm underestimating?
Where do you PUT all these guys?
Good to see Robinson put up some big numbers. Those are Oladipo-type stats. He can have a big impact if he can be a good defender from the get go.
It will be an interesting situation where I think Kids will play their way into and out of the starting line up. Of course we will hear the annual "we really have 10 starters"..but in fact..we really don't. Competition should be great for minutes. If ever IU needed a decent cupcake schedule…it will be next year…to give these kids a little chemistry development time. The rule change that enables coaches to work with recruits during the summer should be invaluable.
I think the culture of hard work and spending the summer working out 3-4 times per day that has been developed by hulls, oladipo, etc…is going to be the make or break. If that culture continues, there could be guys take leaps and bounds improvements through the summer. If it doesn't when some of the upper-class guys leave and freshman/sophs don't buy in, it could be much more interesting/ugly. I think part of the recruitment strategy is getting winners, hard-workers, and high ceiling guys, so hopefully they come in with a chip on their shoulders like hulls, oladipo, and sheehey all have. That's my 2cents.
I've been thinking about if/how much of the "365 Days a Year" attitude will permeate itself down to the younger guys coming in. I think def next year Will and Yogi will bring that and expect everyone else to as well. Hollowell, for his laid back personality, is a big worker according to Crean as well. Specifically Vonleh will really need to work on his offensive skill if he thinks he's jumping after one year. The thing I really like about this class is that it's full of guys that do a lot of things really well. Offense may be the least of their abilities, which bodes well for the future because you can always learn to shoot. They've got some nice intangibles.
Although I'm excited for next years class, just a shout-out to my fellow Hoosier Nationals: "The Movement" has been mediocre at best. Yogi could go pro if we win the championship (Yogi > M. Teague). But the others have a lot of work to do to keep us at the top in the future. Hollowell is improving, but has a long way to go. The suspensions didn't help HMP or Jurkin, but I doubt they'd be Big Ten-ready even if they didn't. No disrespect to them–and I'm excited for their future–but they were highly touted and now barely play (outside of Yogi). I won't be as naive with future classes after this year's frosh class.
It will be interesting to see what next year's starting line-up will be (especially if CZ, VO, and Yogi leave early). Sheehey is the only lock that I can think of. The impressive development skills of CTC's coaching staff will have their work cut out for them after this year.
Having said that, I love NOVO's potential! I think Luke Fischer will eventually be a solid replacement for CZ. DD has VO-like aggressiveness. TW could possibly step in as a stater. Haven't seen much on CH or SR.
Enjoy this season while lasts–it's a special year and OUR YEAR!!!
we thought that would be a problem this year as well, but ended up with a fairly small rotation once the competition picked up. will just have to wait and see if a subset of the overall talent once again separates themselves from the rest. maybe not though. maybe multiple players in the '13 class step up right away.

Is anyone serious about Yogi leaving early? He's playing very weil, but not one and done well. Yogi lacks size and is going to have to make up for that significantly in other areas to make it to the league. His shot has come around pretty well, but still needs work and he still has a tendency to throw some errant passes that get turned over.
I'm not ragging on him, he is playing very well for a freshman and is integral to this team. Its been great fun watching him grow right in front of our eyes this season. I just don't see how you can think he is going to leave for the draft after this year.
Can you imagine what Hanner will be like his Junior year if he has Oladipo type work ethic. The guy is a flat out athlete.
Unless Yogi's shot starts looking a lot better and he has a huge NCAA tournament and really shows him improvement he's not ready to go pro. He's still a little out of control at times and his shot is not close to NBA caliber from a PG. He may still be first round material, but I think that kid sees himself as more than a late round 1 pick. He will be back. I'm not so sold on the idea that Zeller is gone either. I still think about 60% gone, but i'm starting to back off on that thinking a little. Vic is 100% gone and he should go now. His stock will never be higher. I think Cody still has a lot of game to stay and work on if he wanted to. Plus he would graduate next year.
OK, these Germantown scores are getting ridiculous. 90-22!?! Really? I mean c'mon, what gives? Should I just assume that Fischer is the second coming of Bill Walton?
After seeing Vonleh play, meeting him, and talking to his prep coaches, I highly doubt he is motivated to be a one and done guy.
He's young for his class and just a very reserved, humble kid. His coaches have told me how involved his mother is and how important academics are to her.
I'm regurgitating informed opinions that believe he won't go pro after 1 year, even if he is a projected lottery pick (top 3 would change that).
Yogi isn't going anywhere…
Anyone know how many ppg Vonley is averaging this year? I'm thinking a top 10 prospect should be putting up bigger numbers than what we've been seeing.
is anyone else concerned about vonleh's numbers this year?
is anyone else concerned about vonleh's numbers this year?
Im going to chalk it up to better competition and maybe the fact that they aren't blowing out teams 90-22 means that there isn't a whole lot of scoring. Vonleh's status as a top 10 recruit is predicated a lot on his size, athletic ability, and potential. He is a work in progress that possess natural size and ability, he just needs to hone it in a bit more to be elite.
Agree with that. Happy if we can be top 20 next year. The class isn't nearly as
regarded as "The Movement" and we have all seen how that turned out. To
be a top 5 team next year we'll need CZ and/or VO to stay, which
obviously is a long shot. Can't see any way VO doesn't leave. He runs
the risk that his draft stock goes down next year given his rise this
year and the relatively weak 2013 draft. Yogi will be back. Bet your mop on that one.
M. Teague is *maybe* 6'2″; Yogi is nearly 6′. Not much size difference, and I'd take Yogi over Teague IN A HEARTBEAT. Teague got drafted in the first round after winning the tournament (doubt he'd been drafted in the first round without doing so). I think Yogi *could* be drafted in the first round if we win it this year. His composure is phenomenal, and his quickness and vision are top-shelf. His jumper is better than Teague's. I'd say Teague only had one attribute better than Yogi and that is height. Other than that, Yogi is a great game manager who will only get better.
Could he benefit from more college coaching? Of course–who wouldn't? But if you have a chance at guaranteed millions, you're nearly crazy to turn it down–always one play away from significant injury (i.e. Nerlens Noel).
If we run the tables, I bet he's got a shot at 1st round draft status. At the least, comparatively speaking.
"The hands..the hands..gotta catch 1,000 passes a day during the summer.
Love the kid..but, IMO.. he'll be staying for his Soph year at IU..then his JR year..then his senior year..by that time he should be terror bear not a Yogi bear..(assuming his shot comes around)..and one of the very few below 6ft stars in the NBA.
Most of the top 10 recruits aren't playing against the level of comp that Vonleh is every single game. Not only is he matching up against D1 signees every game, but teams with multiple front line options, plenty of size, and players that are often doing a post grad year, so they are 1-3 years older.
He can score in lots of ways, but is inherently unselfish. Think Cody Zeller when you think of demeanor and impact. Even when he isn't putting up big scoring nights he will impact the game in several positive ways.
What do you mean this class isn't "nearly as regarded as 'The Movement'"?
This recruiting class is ranked higher… I think you are mistaking "regard" for "notoriety". The Movement was famous because it was symbolic of IU's return to prominence and its ability to seal up the borders and get the top kids in the state.
But as far as talent goes 2012 class had 0 top 10 recruits, 3 top 100 recruits and was ranked as the 11th best class by ESPN. The 2013 class has 1 top 10 guy, 4 top 100 guys and ranks as the 4th best class by ESPN.
So I'm not sure why you'd think that not as much will be expected… I'm expecting more from next year's class, both in their freshman year and beyond.
Fischer has moved to number 67 on ESPN 100.
Fischer has moved to number 67 on ESPN 100.
Size is kinda a big deal at the next level.
Show me a comparably sized player in the NBA and I'll show you a resume that has ridiculous numbers, all-American type impact for their team, and 3 or 4 years of college…. Or a guy who hasn't done much in the league.
Please find me a single starting NBA PG under 6′ tall. Nate Robinson is a fill in, but he is also maybe the most ridiculous athlete in the NBA and a former dunk champ. Kyle Lowry is 6′, but was drafted late in the first round after his soph year, has been traded twice and is a fringe starter. Jameer Nelson is about the same size as Yogi, but he was a first team all-American, won the Wooden and Naismith awards, and stayed all 4 years, even after being the unanimous National Freshman of the Year.
Bottom line, you just don't see guys Yogi's size go after their freshman year. The pro scouts will want to see more of him and see how he develops leadership skills before taking him in the first round.
Did you notice that Troy had a triple double? I think he is the real deal and VO will be raw but very good. We will have a good team next year. Not like this one unless CZ or VO stay then we could be a great team again.
I'm thinking someone who doesn't like the numbers should know how to spell the player's name.
He's elite already. We aren't factoring in style of play, competition or games where he's had foul trouble. I just keep going back to that Adidas Nations camp that he completely dominated. I watch these prep school games and and they remind me so much of AAU ball. Lots of perimeter play. He will be an absolute stud from day one.

I think Troy Will is going to be a better player and contribute more at the beginning. Vonleh will probably surpass him as the key player, but I think right away Troy will contribute more.
The key there will be Will Sheehey. He's going to have to be the driving force. The bad news is he'll be the only senior; the good news is that he goes harder than anyone and isn't afraid to get in faces.
Next year's team is going to be extremely young—in eligbility, the only scholarship senior will be Sheehey (unless Creek is still here,) and the only junior will be Abell (Etherington will be 3rd year but eligibility-wise will be a sophomore.) Yogi is the only current freshman who'll likely be vocal enough to get on guys.
Ditto for PJ. He's got a nice enough form on his shot if he can just catch the ball.
I think Teague left because everyone else did and it was kind of a save-face move.
Yogi has a totally different mind-set, which you tell by the low number of shots he takes. He's totally focused on the team's success.
Yes, Troy's triple double was in the headline… hard not to notice. LOL
I disagree, I think Vonleh will start in Watford's spot. Troy will battle with Hollowell to start at the 3.
I disagree, I think Vonleh will start in Watford's spot. Troy will battle with Hollowell to start at the 3.
He's put up a few double doubles this year… Isn't scoring 20 pts a game, but always seems to have very good rebound numbers. I trust he's ranked in the top 10 by experts for a reason and there's a reason why guys who are scoring more points aren't ranked as highly.
So you think Cody was crazy for staying in school this year and turning down millions of dollars?
Sorry, thought this was a site for IU fans, and not the spelling police. But point taken. I'm just hoping VONLEH will have the type of impact we need to propel us into being a top 10 team next year.
Waukesha South is a football school, not really a basketball power at all…And when you're that big in hs you can pretty much do what you want if you have any agility at all…
Keep in mind he's on a team of "stars" -much like an all-star team lineup they won't all get to shine every night. Minutes get shared, points distributed…more so than a typical high school team.

The concept of a RAM disk is simple: set aside an area of the computer's memory (RAM - Random Access Memory) to serve as a simulated hard disk. While hard drive speeds have increased tremendously since RAM disks fell out of use, they are still much slower than RAM, both in data transfer speed and access time. The newest generation workstation disk drives have a maximum data transfer speed near 70 Mb/second and an access time of about 10 milliseconds. The latest RAM, on the other hand, transfers data at up to 6400 Mb/second (91 times faster) and an access time of 9 nanoseconds (roughly 1,000,000 times faster).

Sleeps | 4 |
Bedrooms | 2 |
Bathrooms | 1 |
Property type | condo |
Minimum Stay | 30 nights |
This large, 11th floor, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, corner suite faces directly east with unobstructed views of the blue waters and white sands of the Atlantic Ocean from living room, kitchen and dining room! It boasts designer Italian furniture, hardwood floors throughout, and includes everything you should need during your stay. The gourmet kitchen comes fully equipped also. Washers & Dryers are not in-suite but are located on the floor. No need for a car because you can walk or cab to everything. However, valet parking in the building is available. The condominium is situated on 600 feet of stunning pristine beachfront. Our guests enjoy 3 gorgeous pools with new pool furniture, new landscaping and poolside restaurants and bars, all overlooking the ocean.
Located in the South Beach area of Miami Beach, the Condominium is next door to the W Hotel (Wall Night Club, The Dutch & Mr. Chow Restaurant) and a block from the Miami City Ballet, Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach Library. Walking distance to the Miami Beach Convention Center, Botanical Garden, Jackie Gleason (Live Nation) Theatre, Frank Geary's stunning New World Symphony and Soundscape Park and Ocean Drive. Nearby residents will find Lincoln Road shopping district, Miami Beach Golf Club, sport fishing, tennis courts, jet skis, windsurfing, scuba diving and all the restaurants and nightlife that South Beach has to offer.
Location was amazing! Next to the W Hotel, it is walking distance to several restaurants, clubs, lounges, South Beach and any other places to have a scandalous time.
During the week of our stay there was construction going on, so the balcony was gorgeous but not useful for morning breakfast. The hurricane glass prevents the sound from entering the condo. Construction should end very soon and with that the place will be 100% perfect.
The concierge pulled our car when we needed, and valeted it when we didn't. Very convenient. No noises from neighbors or other sources.
We had a fantastic time! And Mark was extremely accommodating, making our stay feel very special. he was always nearby if we needed, and was quick to respond to our texts. Many thanks to him and Jeff for making the trip a memorable one.
My friends and I had a great time in Miami. There was construction during the time of our stay, but the sliding glass door kept the noise out very well. The view was amazing! The place was modern clean. The couch was a little worn, but other than that, it was comfortable for our stay. Mark was very attentive and easy to work with. He responded immediately to all of our questions. I would recommend this place.
Our stay at the Roney Palace was absolutely perfect. The communication with the owner was very easy and the unit and access cards were ready for our group when we arrived. The condo was very clean and comfortable and we all felt right at home. The balcony was available for our use, and when we were in the condo, usually one or more of the four of us were outside enjoying the beautiful ocean views.
The condo is much larger than it looks in the photos and the location is unbeatable. We walked almost every where we went, including to the shops and restaurants on Lincoln Road, and we used the pool every day. The Walgreens is across the street so if we needed anything, the drug store was extremely convenient.
The only impact the renovation had on our stay is that we had to leave the condo building and walk around the W Hotel to access the beach (that wasn't such a bad thing because we ended up seeing a couple of celebrities on my way to and from the beach).
If you plan on staying in this condo, please note that you can catch the Miami Beach city bus (#150) a half a block away that will take you directly to the airport for $2.65!
I highly recommend this condo and plan to return as soon as I can.
I am hesitant to write a great review because I don't want everyone to run and book it and then when I want to come back it is all booked! Perfect location, beach and pool directly behind, beach towels provided, rental bikes right next to the apartment, close enough to the strip to walk but far enough away for a great nights sleep, right next to the W hotel. There is construction on the outside of the property but that did not bother us at all.The apartment is very clean and comfortable and has everything you need. Walgreens is directly across the street if you need anything. There is also a car rental directly across the street. We were early and the house keeper- who is so sweet - allowed us to leave our bags by the door while she cleaned. The owner answered his phone right away when we had a question. Highly recommend
The property is like appears in the photos. It´s very well located and it´s in a walking distance of main attractions. The property is clean and with all of you need to spend a great time in South Beach ( towells, beach chairs, and the kitchen had amenities that allowed us to cook in a couple of times ).
Luckily, the ongoing construction works, at the moment of our stay, were far of the appartment and the noise was minimum.
The only thing that we couldn´t enjoy was the balcony that overlooking the ocean because was covered up and the sliding doors were unavailable.
The beach in front of the condo is clean and beatiful.
We highly recommend this appartment and the owner is very enjoyable.
apartment overlooking the miami beach sand , a few steps from the historic center.
fine art deco furniture , bedding excellent, valet parking and the view! wow
Mark is very attentive and available
we highly recommend this apartement, but beware the bolcony is closed ( as the view) until June-July which is really really bad.
The apartment is located in a mid-rise condominium located at the corner of Collins Avenue and 23rd Street in Miami Beach Florida, on the Atlantic Ocean, Located directly on South Beach, the property is near the W Hotel (Set Night Club & Mr. Chow Restaurant) and within walking distance of the Miami City Ballet, Bass Museum of Art, the Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami Beach Library, Jackie Gleason (Live Nation) Theatre, Frank Geary's stunning New World Symphony and Soundscape Park, Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive. The property features 600 feet of stunning pristine beachfront, a private pool for the condominium guests overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with chairs and towel service, included. Nearby residents will find Lincoln Road shopping district, the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, Miami Beach Golf Club, sport fishing, tennis courts, jet skis, windsurfing and scuba diving.

Transmission or rearend?
Hey guys I have a question I just bought an 83 chevy 1/2 ton P.U. with a 3/4 rearend my question is my other truck is a 74 3/4 ton with the same motor not sure about the transmission but the 74 picks up alot quicker than the 83 and I was wondering if it's the transmission that makes it pick up faster or is it in the rearend?
Sponsored Links | |||
It could be one of a thousand factors. First of all, the transmissions have very similar gear ratios regardless of what tranny is in there, so I doubt it would make a huge change in your perception. Tire size, rear axle ratio, and engine power are the big ones, and if you are trying to compare the engine output of a 74 to an 83, its a tough comparison. Smog equipment, cam changes, technology, everything is vastly different between them. Literally night and day. Also, rear end ratios can vary between 2.73:1 all the way up to 4.56:1. That could mean a difference of 67% in the amount of torque that makes it from the engine to the wheels between the economy gears and the performance gears.
ok I see, the engine in the 74 is an 80-85 block not sure if that makes a difference and the tire size is the same on both trucks.
What transmission is in each one?
You can look in the knowledge base for my transmission information thread for identification purposes. The rear axle gears are definitely going to be different too. (This will make a HUGE difference).
CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT. CanAm Chevelle Club 700R4 Basics 700R4 Basics W/pics ______ |
both trannys are th400's but i'm guessing the rearends are different the 74 tranny shifts harder more torque than the other.
I'd say you have different gear ratio's in those axles.
Only way for sure to tell what you have is to remove the covers from both, and chechk the ratio's. We are waiting to help you out should you decide to take this mission. This message will not self destruct.
CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT. CanAm Chevelle Club 700R4 Basics 700R4 Basics W/pics ______ |
ok i'm gonna look at the gears in the rear end. How do i know which ones are there count the teeth? and if they are different how hard would it be to swap gears?
You can count the teeth, but 9 times out of 10 there are numbers stamped in the ring gear. Rotate it around until you find them and it will say something like 41/10 which is the number or ring and pinion teeth. Just divide those two (which equals 4.10) to get your ratio. If those numbers aren't stamped, you'll have to count the teeth yourself and then divide.
You can also get close by jacking it up, turning a wheel once and counting how many times the driveshaft spins. If you have a posi it will be easy. If you don't have a posi, only jack up one wheel, then you'll have to double the number of driveshaft spins. Its only a guess though. If you get 4 turns of the driveshaft it could be 3.90, 3.92, 4.10... but it would probably get you close enough without having to drain the rear lube |

Hit by narrowing interest spreads and worsening asset quality, which reflected in the rising level of non-performing assets, Canara Bank, on Thursday, reported a net profit of Rs.2,872 crores in 2012-13, a 12.52 per cent drop as compared to the previous year. The bank's net interest margin — the difference between interest earned from advances and interest income paid by the bank — shrunk by 11 basis points during the year.
The bank reported operating profits of Rs.5,890 crores, marginally lower than what it reported in the previous year. The impact of the narrowing spreads was reflected in the fact that while interest income increased by 10 per cent from Rs.30,851 crore to Rs.34,078 crore, interest expenses rose by more than 13 per cent during the year.
Provisions for NPAs increased 44 per cent during the year — from Rs.1,294 crore to Rs.1,861 crore, even as provisions for "restructured" assets increased by 52 per cent to Rs.361 crore at the end of last year.
However, a senior official of the bank pointed out that the decline in the proportion of gross and net NPAs (as a proportion of total assets) indicated that the bank was "better placed to bring overall NPAs under control during the current year."
The proportion of net NPAs had declined to 2.18 per cent at the end of the last year, from 2.35 per cent at the end of 2011-12, he pointed out.
However, despite the higher quantum of provisions made last year, the provision coverage ratio at the end of March 2013 slipped to 61.35 per cent from 67.6 per cent in March 2012, which is well below the central bank-mandated minimum of 70 per cent. The bank's exposure to the infrastructure sector (almost Rs.47,000 crore), widely held by bankers to be the main contributor to rising NPA levels, accounted for almost 20 per cent of its total advances in 2012-13. Within this segment, exposure to the power sector amounted to more than Rs.30,000 crore, of which, more than Rs.21,000 crore was to the state electricity boards.
Significantly, the bank's exposure to the aviation sector, including advances made to Kingfisher Airlines, declined marginally during the year — from Rs.2,286 crore in 2011-12 to Rs.1,907 crore in 2012-13.
Syndicate Bank
Aided by a substantial tax credit during 2012-13, Syndicate Bank on Thursday reported a net profit of Rs.2,004 crore, 52.6 per cent higher than in the previous year. The bank took a tax credit of Rs.804.54 crore during the year, including Rs.573 crore on account of minimum alternate tax (MAT), which, along with lower provisioning for non-performing assets (NPA), boosted the bottom line.
The remaining portion of the tax credit was on account of "deferred tax assets," according to a senior official of the bank.
Interest income rose 12.1 per cent during the year, amounting to Rs.17,121 crore. However, net interest income grew only by 7.3 per cent to Rs.5,454 crore, pulled down by the decline in the bank's net interest margin from 3.43 per cent to 3.19 per cent.
The bank reported a net profit of Rs.592 crore during the fourth quarter of 2012-13, an increase of 92 per cent over the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
Profit was boosted by a tax credit amounting to Rs.104 crore during the quarter.
Although the Chairman and Managing Director M. G. Sanghvi downplayed the significance of the tax credit to the bank's bottom line in the current year, senior bank officials explained that the bank was likely to emerge out of the MAT regime during the current year.
The board recommended a dividend of Rs.6.7 per share for the year as compared to Rs.3.8 per share in 2011-12.

Bruce was a wonderful guest. He stayed with me for a little over a week. Very nice and positive person. He was mostly out at the Jazz festival and came home late. I did not get to see him a lot. I did enjoyed talking with him for the few times that we ran into each other in the apartment. I very much enjoyed his spirit and would welcome him back at my place anytime. I totally recommend Bruce to any airbnb host.
What to say about Bruce!? An awesome person! I am very honored to have hosted Bruce. He was very communicative prior to his arrival, kept my place in immaculate shape and exchanged happy stories. Bruce is that guy you would want to sit down and have a beer with if you had the opportunity. Highly recommended!

Bruce was my first guest from Airbnb. He stayed here while attending Bottle Rock in Napa May of 2013. I could have not asked for a better guest. He was nice, polite, quiet and very clean. He took excellent care of my place. I would definitely rent to Bruce again.

DIY Cupcake Stands
Cupcakes are one of the hottest trends right now… and I think they are for good reason. They taste way better than a slice of cake (in my opinion)… and just look so dang cute! And if it's a sprinkles cupcake… don't even get me started!
I've seen so many different variations on little cupcake stands that are so cute. These stands are super easy to make and you don't have to use them for JUST cupcakes. I made these AWESOME rice krispy squares for my hubs b-day, so I used those for the pic. :) These stands are great for all kinds of parties, gifts, or even just to showcase your latest and greatest.
1 candlestick ($1 found at the dollar tree)
1 circle or square wooden base (.50 from Jo-Ann's)
Paint and brush
e-6000 glue
Yummy treat
1. First I spray painted my candlestick white. This is the time to get creative since there are tons of fun colors out there.
2. Next I painted the edge of my square with a bright yellow.
3. Then I painted the inside of the square white. Again, you could use any color. The sky is the limit!
After the paint is dry, you'll want to glue the wood square to the rim of the candlestick.
Now top with your favorite treat and you have a cute little stand for less that 2 bucks!
You can also tie a ribbon around the candle stick to add a little extra flair. I love these dollar store candlesticks! Another great way to use them is to glue a cute plate on top and turn it into a cake stand. So fun, affordable and super cute!
*This post was originally posted on Mom It Forward.*
Come back later for the yummy recipe!!
Join in! Leave a comment!
Simple, cute and cheap–love it! Unfortunately in my house, any kind of cake tends to get eaten within seconds of coming out of the packaging or cooling tray!
hey jamie, are you going to send me pics from the family reiuion when you have time? i sure love and miss you.
Jenny -
cute idea! Love your Blog!
how funny, I made something very similar for my daughter's 2nd birthday back in January! I used a cake cardboard piece and covered it with scrapbook paper, hot glued it to the candlestick, and put some ribbon around the edge. See it here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=8026743&l=89166d5f29&id=584385751
The cake stand is perfect! No one will care whether the cupcake taste good or not LOL

didn't have any mistake and opposite our serve well. Our team can not defend
well, so we made many mistakes. Congratulations to Turkey and good luck for making it to the final.
