Analysis By ColdHardFootballFacts.com
Even if lightning strikes twice and Luck proves to be the second coming of Peyton Manning, he'll have his work cut out for him. The 2011 Colts were just as bad on defense as they were on their Manning-less offense: No. 28 in scoring in each category. Talent around Luck may be sparse: Indy has drafted just four wide receivers over the past 10 years, easily the fewest in the NFL. The NFL is all about the QB and Indy will struggle for years if Luck doesn't live up to the hype. No pressure, Andy.
Carolina's Cam Newton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 draft, set the bar high with a rookie record of 4,051 passing yards last season. The Redskins have similar dreams for the equally talented RGIII. Oh, for what it's worth: Newton completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 2,854 yards, 30 TD and 7 INT in his 2010 Heisman season at Auburn. Griffin completed 72.4 percent for 4,293 yards, 37 TD and 6 INT in his 2011 Heisman season at Baylor. Dream big, D.C.
Richardson played behind Mark Ingram at Alabama, a 2011 first-round draft pick (New Orleans). But the consensus is that Richardson is a better, more muscular and more athletic ball carrier. Richardson ran for 1,679 yards and 21 TD last season; Ingram 1,658 and 17 in his Heisman campaign of 2009. The lowly Browns desperately need the help. They averaged just 3.7 yards per attempt on the ground last year (31st). But it's a high-risk pick: Cleveland traded away its first-, fourth-, fifth- and seventh-round picks to Minnesota this year to move up one spot to get Richardson.
The Vikings struggled badly in pass protection last season, surrendering 49 sacks, and need to rebuild the offensive line, especially after releasing former Pro Bowl guard Steve Hutchinson. Kalil offers the potential for a classic blind-side left tackle for a team that needs to protect its young quarterback. They also pick up more than half a draft (four picks) from Cleveland and still land a player they need and want. Minnesota is sitting at the precipice of a huge draft.
The Jaguars ranked dead last in passing yards per attempt, offensive passer rating and real quarterback rating last season. So Blackmon, a potential game-breaking stud WR, makes sense on the surface. But the Jags have been down this road before: they've drafted 11 wide receivers over the past 10 years, among the most in the NFL. Blackmon will do little to change Jacksonville's offensive fortunes if Blaine Gabbert doesn't show dramatic improvement from his rookie season.
Claiborne was the source of chatter after word leaked of his embarrassing score of 4 on the Wonderlic test. But he was also the best defender on one of the nation's top defenses last year at LSU. He represents a good, solid needs-based pick for the Cowboys, who struggled badly on pass defense last season. The 'Boys ranked 25th in defensive passer rating, surrendering more than 4,000 yards through the air and 7.6 yards per attempt.
The Bucs and rookie head coach Greg Schiano had no choice but to go defense with their first-round pick: they surrendered 349 points over their last 10 games of 2011, each one a loss and most of them ugly. Barron led a national title-winning defense last year at Alabama that surrendered just 106 points in 13 games. He has the potential to make an instant impact for the NFL's worst defense.
The Texas A&M is the first quarterback drafted No. 1 by the Dolphins since Dan Marino way back in 1983. Marino was a gem, the sixth QB taken that year. Tannehill could prove a reach for the desperate Dolphins. He largely struggled last season against top-tier competition and appears overvalued in a weak year for QBs. Reigning Miami starter Matt Moore, meanwhile, went 6-3 over the final nine games of 2011 with 15 TD, 5 INT and an impressive 97.8 passer rating. QB controversy?
The linebacker was a playmaking superstar at Boston College: 16 tackles per game while earning the Dick Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker. He proved to be a workout warrior at the combine, too. Carolina needs a game-changer on defense to complement its exciting upstart offense. The Panthers were 5th in scoring offense last year, but just 27th in scoring defense. This pick has the potential to be exactly what they needed.
You can't win in the NFL when you can't stop the pass. And the Bills were consistently awful in that area last year: No. 26 in defensive passing yards per attempt, No. 26 in defensive quarterback rating and No. 26. in defensive passer rating (90.4) -- the last a very reliable indicator of overall team success. Gilmore has the size (6-0, 190) and athleticism to be a game-changing corner for the Bills.
The Chiefs love their defensive tackles. Poe is now the ninth DT the team has drafted since 2002. Only the Titans have drafted more interior defensive linemen over that period. This pick is loaded with question marks, too. Kansas City's problems last year were on offense (31st in scoring), not on defense (12th in scoring). Poe could be largely overvalued, as well: a small-school guy who impressed more in workouts than he did on the field against quality competition.
Cox is a very athletic big man (300 pounds, 4.7 40) who could prove to be an impact player inside. Big problem, though: Philadelphia's strength last year was its defensive line: No. 8 on the Cold, Hard Football Facts Defensive Hog Index and best in the NFL at pressuring the passer: No. 1 in both sacks (50) and at forcing negative pass plays (11.4 percent of opponent dropbacks ended in sack or INT). Cox does little to help this team's other issues.
Floyd is a big receiver (6-3, 220) with game-breaking skills. He set a Notre Dame record last year with 100 catches and owns most of the career receiving marks in the school's storied history. The Cardinals, meanwhile, were weighed down with one of the worst passing attacks in football last year. But without a legit QB, even the terrific tandem of Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald may struggle to terrorize defenses. Arizona would have been better served shoring up an OL that ranked No. 31 on CHFF's Offensive Hog Index last year.
Brockers is a big, rangy and athletic interior lineman who anchored the middle of LSU's great defense last year as a redshirt sophomore and also has the potential to play at defensive end, too. The pathetic Rams need help everywhere, including on the defensive front: they were gashed for 4.8 yards per rush attempt last year (28th). St. Louis is sitting pretty overall: stockpiling picks by twice trading down out of their original No. 2 overall pick.
Irvin is a high-risk pick on three fronts: he is undersized and looks mostly like a one-dimensional pass-rushing specialist; he has a checkered past, dropping out of high school and bouncing around to several colleges; and, on the field, Seattle had many more pressing issues than its defensive line. The Seahawks were No. 4 last year on our Defensive Hog Index.
Coples has the tall, rangy appearance of another standout North Carolina defensive end: Julius Peppers. If Coples pans out like Peppers, it could be a home-run needs-based pick for the Jets: they forced just 35 sacks last year and were in the bottom half of the league in scoring D (20th, surrendering 22.7 PPG).
The Bengals have a lot of potential on their young offense and needed to go defense. They were 0-8 last year against teams that reached the playoffs and surrendered an average of 24.4 points in those games. Kirkpatrick was a shutdown corner rated on many boards as 1A behind No. 6 overall pick Morris Claiborne. Great potential for the Bengals with this pick.
The Chargers have been desperate for playmakers on defense. Last year, they simply couldn't get off the field, allowing opponents to convert 49.2 percent of third-down attempts (last in the NFL). And they've drafted just three defensive ends over the past decade, among fewest in the NFL. Ingram could change the character of the defense: the athletic DE chalked up 10 sacks last year and produced three defensive and special teams scores for one of the nation's toughest defenses.
The run on defenders continues: 12 of the last 14 picks have gone to the defensive side of the ball (after five offensive players to launch the first round). McClellin is a speedy and versatile outside pass rusher who could play down or upright. Potential solid needs-based pick: the Bears forced just 33 sacks last year and were 28th in the NFL at creating negative pass plays.
Put the Titans high on the list of teams that never learn. Wide receivers have a high bust rate and Wright is the 16th WR the team has drafted since 2002, most in the NFL over that period. Few have panned out. Even 2009 first-round pick Kenny Britt has caught only 101 passes with 15 TDs over three seasons. Meanwhile, the Titans have huge holes to fill elsewhere, including a pathetic defensive front. History says the Titans will regret this pick.
The Patriots have been desperate for a pass-rushing playmaker since the Willie McGinest-Mike Vrabel Super Bowl-winning glory days. Like those two players, the versatile Jones could play standing up at OLB or down as line-of-scrimmage edge rusher. Huge potential to be the game-changer New England needs to get back to the championship level, but some questions pop up: he missed much of last season with an knee injury.
Colt McCoy's career is officially on the clock. Cleveland's current quarterback has failed to impress in his two seasons (20 TD, 20 INT, 74.5 passer rating) and the offense was an embarrassment last year, scoring just 13.6 PPG. Weeden has huge upside and an impressive track record. Last time he took the field, he outgunned overall No. 1 pick Andrew Luck in Oklahoma State's 41-38 win over Stanford in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl.
The upstart Lions have fully matured. After embarrassing themselves by drafting wide receivers No. 1 year-after-year back in the Matt Millen days, they've now drafted building-block offensive or defensive lineman No. 1 in four of the past drive drafts. Two potential problems, though: Reiff is the best OL prospect out of Iowa since ... Robert Gallery, a pick that never lived up to potential. Meanwhile, Detroit's biggest needs were on defense. That unit couldn't stop anybody over the second half of the season.
The Steelers have a habit of making un-sexy picks in the draft, and that strategy has worked brilliantly for them over the years. Pittsburgh's offensive line has struggled since losing All-World guard Alan Faneca after the 2007 season and DeCastro has the potential to be an earth-moving interior lineman in his mold.
The Crimson Tide defense might have fared well in the NFL last season. Hightower is Alabama's third defender taken in the first round. The Patriots have consistently frustrated fans, trading down on draft day for value picks. They traded up twice in the first round this year to grab much-needed potential playmaking defenders. Hightower was the captain of the best defense in college football last year, a starter as a freshman in 2008 and a key member of its 2009 national title team, too.
The Texans focused on defense last season, picking defenders with their first five picks. The result was the NFL's most improved and perhaps best defense. They doubled down in Round 1 of 2012. Mercilus was a mega-playmaker for the Illini last year, with 16 sacks and nine forced fumbles. Houston's Super Bowl-caliber defense should be deadly once again.
The Bengals, on the cusp of being a legit contender, could have a game-changing draft. They landed a potential shutdown corner at No. 17 then lulled the Patriots into trading away their first- and third-round picks to move up to Cincy's No. 21 spot. Zeitler, meanwhile, was the top lineman for Wisconsin's unstoppable run game last year. He could prove a great needs-based pick. The Bengals struggled badly to run the ball last year, averaging just 3.9 yards per attempt (27th).
It was a huge round for defensive lineman: Perry was the 10th DL, and seventh defensive end, taken in the first round alone. He led the Pac-12 with 9.5 sacks last year and Green Bay desperately needs him to shore up its pass rush. The Packers D was No. 1 in the NFL at forcing negative pass plays in their Super Bowl-winning season of 2010; but plummeted to No. 20 in 2011 -- a weakness readily apparent in the playoff loss to the Giants.
The Vikings traded their second- and fourth-round picks to Baltimore to land one of the best defensive backs available and, more importantly, fill a critical need. The Vikings last year fielded one of the worst pass defenses in the history of the NFL, allowing 34 TDs, grabbing just 8 INTs, and surrendering a 107.6 defensive passer rating. Only one team in history was worse on pass defense: the 0-16 Lions of 2008 (110.9 DPR).
Grabbing wide receivers in the first round is almost always a bad move. They bust at a high rate and rarely improve a team's overall fortunes. Note Julio Jones in Atlanta last year. The Falcons declined offensively by almost every measure. But the 49ers were in an ideal spot to grab a potential game-breaker at wideout: they were solid everywhere else last year and need a little help to open up the passing game for Alex Smith.
The pathetic Bucs had plenty of problems last year. Running the ball was not one of them. The team averaged a respectable 4.2 yards per attempt on the ground. Tampa did address defense with its first pick (safety Mark Barron at No. 7). But one first-round pick will not shore up all the problems on D. Martin, meanwhile, could prove to be the second coming of Emmitt Smith (career 4.2 YPA). It would do little to help the Bucs solve their immediate problems.
The Giants have a rep as a classic old-school offense that pounds away with an array of ball carriers to open up the passing lanes for its quarterback. But on draft day the team has devoted very few resources to the ground -- just four draft picks over the past 10 years went to RBs, fewest in the NFL. With that said, Wilson could prove to be a smart pick. The Giants won the Super Bowl last season despite a pathetic rushing attack. They averaged just 3.5 yards per rush attempt, worst in the NFL. Great needs-based pick for the champs.

In the middle of Thursday's set, Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong recalled seeing ska band Bad Manners in 1983. The audience was full of "ska kids, punks, skinheads, greasers, freaks" and all kinds of other people, he said.
"I saw it right there: Everyone getting along," Armstrong said.
Much the same happened at Sokol Auditorium on Thursday night for Rancid and Armstrong's other band, Tim Timebomb and Friends. A pair of young girls too young to drive stood next to older punks with gray hair, and guys in polo shirts moshed near others with foot-high mohawks and leather jackets.
About 1,000 of those punks heated up Sokol, as the tattooed-Łup band played hit songs including "Time Bomb" and "Ruby Soho" as well as favorites such as "St. Mary" and "Black Derby Jacket."
The crowd pressed hard against the barricades that separated the band from its fans. Like audiences before them — I'm amazed Sokol doesn't have a hole worn in its wood floor — they danced and threw themselves around in a giant mosh pit.
During the songs "The 11th Hour" and "It's Quite Alright," guitarist Lars Frederiksen commanded the crowd to turn the moshing into a pit circle where they created a maelstrom of swirling bodies instead of slam dancing into each other.
As Rancid played through its earplugs-required songs, the audience responded by shouting back the words. They did it to every tune. I haven't seen a crowd sing along to that many songs since the last time I saw Elton John.
Of course, it was expected when the band played its biggest song, "Ruby Soho," and the building echoed as Armstrong held his microphone stand over the audience and the crowd sang the last verses. But when they sang along with every song — even "Rejected" from the band's first album — it was easy to see that Rancid has a solid hold on its fans.
During the encore break, they only stopped chanting "Rancid! Rancid! Rancid!" when the band retook the stage.
Thursday's show was a sort of family night for the punk band. The Interruptors opened the show with a set that sounded like ska music without the horns, and Rancid's Armstrong also played a set with his band Tim Timebomb and Friends, which plays a mix of originals and covers.
Tim Timebomb included Armstrong and most members of The Interruptors as well as a horn section and guitarist Elvis Cortez, leader of Cali punk band Left Alone.
Familiar songs included a Ramones-style cover of "California Sun," a ska-styled cover of the Faces' "Ooh La La" and a version of "Sound System" from Operation Ivy (a late '80s band that included Armstrong and Rancid bassist Matt Freeman).
Rancid's best stuff came near the end of the set. Armstrong, with his beat-up black hollow body guitar slung down at his knees, led the audience through the song "Olympia WA." During "Fall Back Down," a flood of arms in the air blocked sight of the band for those in the back.
"Time Bomb," "Tenderloin" and "Ruby Soho" made up the band's encore, and the building practically shook with the audience jumping and singing.
"Thank you so much, Omaha, Neb.," Armstrong said. "You guys are the best."

Snapshot Issue 34 May 2007
Presequence protein
Our bodies digest and produce waste continuously. And it is happening at every molecular level. The most obvious digestive pathway we know of is the one we launch by inserting something into our mouth, chewing it, swallowing it and discharging the debris once it has been through the whole degradation process. Mouths are not the only things that open and shut to initiate digestion. On a far smaller scale, some proteins do it too. Presequence protease or PreP is one.
PreP is a protease found both in mitochondria and chloroplasts . Proteins, whose presence is requested in either organelle, are led there thanks to peptides known as target peptides which act as address tags. Their destination reached, the target peptides are removed from the proteins much in the way you would separate a letter from its envelope. The inconvenience is that the envelopes pile up unless you throw them out. That is where PreP comes in. PreP gets rid of the target peptides which would otherwise poison the organelle and degrades them.
PreP acts a little like a molecular vacuum passive in recognizing the waste but active once it is in its guts. It is a homodimer, whose two subunits are bound by, and revolve around, a hinge. Unless active, the protease floats around with its jaws wide open. Thus the chamber inside is open to target peptides that will recognize a specific site. The act of binding induces a conformational change in the proteases structure: the gap to the chamber is closed and amino acids, which are hundreds of residues apart, are brought closer to one another to create the active site. And it is with its mouth closed that the protease degrades the target peptides. Once digested, the link between the distant residues in the active site is probably broken. As a consequence and most likely by way of electrostatic forces, the gap opens and the digested peptides are released.
Besides the astonishing waste-removing abilities of PreP, such a protease could also prove to be of great medical interest. In truth, this particular protease is capable of degrading not only target peptides but also a number of other peptides such as amyloid-β for instance, whose existence is related to mitochondrial toxicity and Alzheimers disease. A question arises: if PreP can trap and degrade more than one peptide, could it not catch hold of some that it shouldnt? Apparently not. The size of the gap as the chamber formed inside the protease is calculated so that larger molecules such as folded proteins for example cannot enter and be damaged. Like us, PreP is choosy. You wouldnt pop any old thing into your mouth, would you?

Trier Cathedral Treasury
Housed in a small room built onto the south side of Trier Cathedral, the Cathedral Treasury (Schatzkammer) displays some of Europe's greatest relics along with important examples of religious art from a variety of periods.
Relics (bodily remains or objects of a saint) played a central role in Christian religion and in state ceremony from Late Antiquity through the Middle Ages. As such, they were enshrined in magnificent reliquaries covered in gold and decorated with precious stones. Under Archbishop Egbert (died 993), several artists' workshops were established in Trier and reliquaries, manuscripts and other great works of great art were produced.
Around 1200, a treasury room was built on the north side of Trier Cathedral to keep the relics safe from theft and fire. The present treasury was built in 1480 on the south side of the cathedral, above the cathedral archives. It was carefully guarded throughout many wars until, tragically, in 1792, a total of 399 kilograms (880 lbs) of precious metal were sent to the Electoral mint in Koblenz and melted down into coins to finance the war against French Revolutinary troops. Only 12 pieces of art survived.
Since then, the collection of the Trier Treasury has expanded again through various donations, loans and purchases. It now contains important artworks from nearly every era of Christian history, from Late Antiquity to the 20th century.
What to See
Trier's treasury is relatively small but contains some very important relics, reliquaries and other works of religious art from various periods. The collection centers on the other relics (besides the Holy Robe enshrined in the cathedral and the body of St. Matthias in his abbey) said to have been brought to Trier from the Holy Land by Empress St. Helena: the Holy Nail, the sandal of St. Andrew, and a tooth of St. Peter. Below are some of the most interesting and important artifacts displayed in the Treasury.
This unusual reliquary altar enshrines a sole of St. Andrew the Apostle's sandal. This relic is one of those said to have been brought from the Holy Land to Trier by Empress Helena in the 4th century. The splendid reliquary was commissioned by Archbishop Egbert (977-93), who had a special devotion to Saint Andrew. He also had a chapel dedicated to Andrew, in which he wished to be buried, built on the north side of the cathedral.
The portable altar consists of an oak box covered in gold and ivory and topped with a gilded model of the saint's foot, complete with bejeweled sandal strap. It has a sliding lid so that the relics inside could be shown and touched. The long sides are fixed with smooth ivory plates affixed with gold lions and enamel medallions of the Four Evangelists. The plates are surrounded by bands of enamel platelets, gemstones, and pearls. One of the short ends has two Saint Andrew's crosses made of pearls; the other end has a gold coin with the portrait of Emperor Justinian I surrounded by pearls and red garnet.
The reliquary was made to be portable, so that it could be carried by kings and bishops when they traveled and used for Mass when they were at home. There are rings on the lion-shaped feet and on the top, allowing the portable altar to be hung or carried in processions.
Trier, c.980 AD, 21.4 cm / 8.5 in. long. Like St. Andrew's Altar, this reliquary was made under Archbishop Egbert (977-93) to enshrine a relic brought to Trier by St. Helena. The iron spike, said to be one of the four with which Christ was nailed to the cross, was a highly important relic in medieval Trier. It was carried in processions, used for swearing oaths, and is reported to have healed several blind people during one of its exhibitions. It was stored in St. Andrew's Altar and is displayed alongside it in the Treasury.
Like St. Andrew's Altar, the reliquary made for the Holy Nail is a "speaking reliquary" because it is in the shape of the relic inside. The irregular shape of the nail would have provided a special challenge for the goldsmith but he did a magnificent job. He fashioned a square, tapering shaft decorated on each side with four gems and three enamel bands. The nail head is hinged so that the relic could be displayed and is also decorated with precious gemstones and enamel platelets. Some of the decorations have been lost over the centuries.
5th century, Byzantine, probably Constantinople; 13 x 26 cm (5.11 x 10.23 in). Depicting a procession of a relic shrine into a city with crowds of spectators looking on, this magnificent panel is filled with action and detail. It is an artifact of great importance, not only for its age and artistic qualities but also for what it tells us about the veneration of relics and court ceremony in Late Antiquity. The minute detail with which it is carved allows historians to observe even the garments and gestures of the Byzantine empire.
This large relief panel probably decorated the side of a reliquary. It shows a relic shrine accompanied by two priests sitting in an ornate four-wheeled wagon drawn by mules. In front are men carrying candles, who are being received by the Empress, who holds a wooden cross. Behind her stands a church where the relic will be enshrined, which was not quite finished in time: workers are still laying tiles on the roof. In the background, men look out of windows while singing hymns and swinging censers.
c.1260, Limoges; 28 cm (11 in) long. This crozier (bishop's staff) was found in 1851 in the grave of Archbishop Henry of Finstingen (1260-86) in Trier Cathedral. Also buried with him were the other signs of his ecclesiastical authority: his mitre, ring, seal, and pectoral cross. The symbolism of bishops' croziers derives from the scepters of ancient emperors but also the staffs of shepherds. A third association is a judge's rod, representing the bishop's jurisdictional authority.
This crozier is made of bronze ornamented with Limoges enamel and gold leaf. The crook is shaped like the coiling tail of a dragon ornamented with tendrils. The dragon's head appears in the center with his tongue out. At the base of the crook is a crowned winged figure holding a book, with small drops of blue enamel imitating precious stones in his crown. Below this is an open-work pommel composed of winding monsters with long tails and flowery tendrils. All the dragons and the winged figure probably served to ward off evil.
c.1100, Trier; 21.5cm (8.5 in) high This intricately crafted bronze censer was found in the parish church of Buchholz in 1846. It is not known for which church it was originally made, but it must have been a grand one. It was probably produced in Trier around 1100.
The censer stands represents the Heavenly Jerusalem. It is shaped like a building with a cross-shaped plan, four apses, and 100 windows. On the four sides of the lower part are four busts: Moses with his staff, Aaron with a censer, and the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah. Atop the gables stand four full-length figures: Abel with a lamb; Melchizedek with bread and chalice (seen here), Abraham about to sacrifice his son, and Isaac blessing Jacob instead fo Esau. All eight figures represent Old Testament prophets and events that prefigure the Eucharist.
At the top is Solomon on his throne, with a fleur-de-lis crown, sceptre and imperial orb. Fourteen seated lions surround the base of the throne. Numerous Latin inscriptions explain the story of salvation, and one memorializes the bronze caster: "You who reads this, whoever you are, pray that Gozbertus may live!" The matching chain holder has four medallions of the apostles Peter, Paul, James and John, with dragons between them. In the center is Christ on his throne.
c.1100, Trier(?). This ivory relief panel depicts (top) the presentation of Christ in the temple, with the Virgin Mary handing the Child to St. Simeon, and (bottom) the baptism of Christ by John the Baptist. Both scenes are captioned with Latin inscriptions around the border. This panel decorates the cover of the Simeons-Kodex manuscript, which dates from the 9th century and probably comes from Sinai.
This reliquary enshrines two chain links of St. Peter, with which he was held prisoner in Jerusalem until an angel freed him. The links are the original relics that were venerated throughout the Middle Ages in Trier, but the original reliquary was melted down to fund the war against French Revolutionary troops. In 1895, goldsmith Josef Brems-Varain donated a new reliquary for the chain to the treasury. The design is based on the 14th-century St. Anne reliquary in the Cathedral Treasury.

Trying to use RCov to find the code coverage of my app.
Have installed the following gems
1) rspec (1.1.8) 2) rcov (0.8.1.1.0)
Are there any other prerequisite for this?
would like to get few examples / links on how to get started with RCov ( configuration / usage / syntax ).
Do you mean like "the rcov page on the rspec site":http://rspec.info/documentation/tools/rcov.html ?
Thanks Jason,
Well, to say the truth I am completely blank on this.
Will give this a try ...

Quick Connect Electrical Services
I called Quick Connect Electrical after reading the reviews that had been posted online.
I can't emphasize how grateful I am to have found this company.
I had made the mistake of using a local tradesman to install the electrics for my flat after I had been given the run around by an electrician who had been recommended by a family friend.
After being slugged with a massive bill and only half the work done, I found Quick Connect on the internet and got into contact with them.
I explained the situation and fit me in to their busy schedule and came out almost immediately.
Was simply wonderful to deal with. Instead of telling me how stupid and risky it was to use a non-licensed tradesperson, thoroughly checked over and redid all the electrics to make sure they complied with Australian Safety Standards, and gave me great advice about lighting options for different uses in my place, as well as explaining what kind of cooking devices would work best based on the types of electrical circuits available in my home.
Went out of his way to arrange a number of visits to fit around the schedule of other tradies who were working on my flat, and even went as far as telling me their availability for some months in advance.
Their work was efficient and meticulous. I was amazed at how quickly and professionally they carried out the work. Always let me know when they were on their way, and was flexible in rearranging their work commitments to ensure I could move into my place sooner.
Rates were unbelievably competitive-in short one of the most outstanding tradesmen I have come across.
By the time I had come across Quick Connect, I had had it with tradies and felt I had been taken advantage of as a woman, and also because this was my first home renovation and I was clueless about a lot of it.
Their honesty, great advice and encouragement restored my faith in tradies.
I only wish I had found this company sooner, it would have saved me a lot of angst and money.
I can't recommend Quick Connect Electrical Services enough, and without a doubt is one of the best electricians you could hope for.

Hi there guys i bought myself a iphone 3Gs 32gb from Optus Australia. I dont know if OS 3.0 is still being shipped or i am just a lucky person.
Now what i want to do is update it to 3.1 because as far as i know this will able me to have the most options if i choose to jailbreak but still get all the positives in the 3.1 update ( testing jailbroken touch first already broken with blackra1n)
I have tried downloading firmware 3.1 and holding shift in itunes to update to that file but itunes will try and authorise the file and it comes back un-authorised. i have also tried using Quickpwn and dmfu mode but still get this error many times over.
Firstly, should i bother going to 3.1? there are already some apps i cant use as they need 3.1 or 3.1.2 to run. or just stick with 3.0
Secondly, how can i update using an old firmware.
Any help would be great thanks.
EDIT: Version 3.0 (7A341)
Model: MC133X

Ended up rubbing the bike down 3-4 times to get the streaks out .... maybe it would be ok on plastic, but it sprays everywhere .... I'll stick to SC1 !!!!

Christmas in the Park holds special meaning for area coupleIt's Christmas time in the city and Christmas in the Park is back lighting the Grand Forks Greenway. It's the 12th year the Grand Forks Lions Club has put on the event - but this weekend featured a special surprise.
By: Cynthia Johnson, WDAZ
It's Christmas time in the city and Christmas in the Park is back lighting the Grand Forks Greenway. It's the 12th year the Grand Forks Lions Club has put on the event - but this weekend featured a special surprise.
The holiday season is a time to spend with family and friends and show your love to the ones you care about most. And for one couple, Christmas in the Park was an opportunity to do just that.
Pull into the Grand Forks Christmas in the Park and you'll be greeted by Lions Club members and dozens of light displays - which can be viewed from the comfort of your car. The displays are sponsored by more than 40 local businesses.
For one couple the bright lights bring a bright future with them. At the end of the displays Jake Peterson of East Grand Forks took the opportunity to propose to girlfriend Rebecca Nyberg of Grand Forks with his own lighted sign. At 8:00 pm Friday night, in the frigid weather -- 13 degrees below zero -- Jake got down on one knee and Rebecca said yes -- even though she was hesitant to take her glove off in the cold to put on the ring.
"I got all the supplies ready the last couple of nights and actually we were supposed to hangout the last couple of nights and then I lied to her and said I was working on snowmobiles with my friend and right after work today a coworker of mine and I set it up and there it was and it turned out pretty well actually," said Jake.
Jake and Rebecca have been dating for the last year and a half. The couple started their evening with their own tradition.
"We just went out to eat at the Boardwalk, that's the restaurant that we used to go to often when we first started dating and we hadn't been there for a while so we just ate dinner there," Rebecca said.
"I could barely eat my food I was nervous the whole time," said Jake.
Christmas in the Park will forever hold a fond memory in their hearts. As a couple, it was their first time visiting the drive-through light display together. But it won't be the last.
"I think it's my first time doing the whole park thing," Jake said. "I've done it before with my family but I told him that we should go so this is our first time. We'll probably make it a tradition though," Rebecca said. "I think we have to," Jake said.
Jake proposed to Rebecca on the date 12/13 and says they're thinking of getting married in Grand Forks one year from their proposal -- 12/13/14.
If you're thinking of popping the question or just a good time with loved ones, Christmas in the park runs through December 31. It's located on Lincoln Drive off Belmont Road and 13th Avenue South in Grand Forks.

Topic review (newest first)
If I'm right, you want to find the value of θ that gives the highest value of y, in terms of v and x.
OK, so you want a formula like:
I know how to find the maximum range and the maximum height. I also know the trajectory equation which will tell me who to find the displacement from the origin.
For reference:
Now, are you asking for the maximum
a) x (horizontal distance), which I have just shown, or
b) y (height), or
c) actual distance from origin, which would be √(x²+y²)
If an object is projected at a fixed speed of u at a variable angle theta, how would one find out the equation of the curve that shows the furthest point the trajectory can be?

Vehicles with Incentives & Rebates
Beyond the 2.0-liter engine in Mazda3 i models, every other meaningful component has been redesigned for 2014. That remake brings better in-car connectivity plus numerous innovative "class-above" touches, highlighted by an available head-up display, Mazda's econo-enhancing i-Eloop system, adaptive Radar Cruise Control, and low-speed Smart City Brake Support.
After receiving the new Skyactiv engine and a freshened face the year before, the 2013 Mazda3 carries over mostly unchanged. The i Sport model now comes with the Skyactiv engine, and the Sky Mica blue exterior color has been dropped.
The best-selling model in the entire Mazda lineup, the compact Mazda3 is all new for 2014 and now incorporates the full suite of Mazda's efficiency-enhancing Skyactiv technologies as well as the automaker's latest Kodo styling language. This comprehensive makeover elevates the car to an entirely new level of sophistication and a place on our list of the 10 Best Sedans Under $25,000 for 2014. The stylish sedan now shares much visual DNA with the larger Mazda6 while the Mazda3 hatchback puts a sportier spin on that refined appearance in an even more practical 5-door configuration. Multiple trim grades, two fuel-efficient engine choices and several class-exclusive convenience and safety features make the Mazda3 an even more enticing alternative to rivals like the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, and Toyota Corolla.

Sweetest piercer in the Valley – While I'm no expert on piercing and tattoo parlors of the area, I'd highly recommend Quillian. It was spotlessly clean and they used extra precautions with stuff such as latex allergies, hygiene procedures, and the customer's well-being.

UW–Madison Physicist Wins Science Image Challenge
Thursday, January 31, 2013
Professor Pupa Gilbert, a UW-Madison physics professor, image of a sea urchin tooth imaged with a scanning electron microscope and false-collored earned top honors in the 2012 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the journal Science. The forming end of a sea urchin tooth is shown. While it is not apparent from their intricate and rounded shape, the single-crystals of calcite, which fill space, resist fracture, and make the tooth so hard and tough that it can grind rocks. Sea urchin teeth are essentially self-sharpening, a trick that human toolmakers may someday incorporate into cutting edges that never need honing.

Best Enthusiast DSLRs 2013
If you already own an entry-level or even mid-range DSLR and have learned how to use it properly, then chances are you may well want something that offers a more advanced feature set and more in-camera customisation options - this is exactly where enthusiast DSLRs step in. Not only this but they also tend to be bigger and more durable with metal construction rather than polycarbonate the norm.
That said, even the best enthusiast DSLRs aren't quite up to the standards of professional-grade models though, which is mostly down to the fact that they employ APS-C sized sensors rather than the full-frame sensors of their pro-spec siblings. However, you can still expect the best enthusiast DSLRs to offer a much expanded feature set from what you'd find on an entry-level or mid-level model with things like off-camera flash control through the built-in flash and bracketing functions often included as standard. Typically, you'll also find that many enthusiast level models offer more in the way of physical buttons, allowing you to make quick changes on then fly without having to trawl through in-camera menu.
Conversely, you can also expect to see some of the more 'fun' features that are often included with entry/mid-level DSLRs - digital effects filters for example - disappear from higher-spec models. While this isn't always the case it's fair to say that most manufacturers expect purchasers of enthusiast DSLRs to have one primary interest: using their camera to get the highest possible clean image quality, which they will often then process themselves using digital darkroom software such as Photoshop. One final thing top bear in mind is that many enthusiast DSLRs can be purchased as body-only, which means you can then pair them with lenses of an appropriate quality. You'll need to factor this into your budget when choosing one though.
If you think you're in the market for an enthusiast DSLR, then the good news is that there are plenty of excellent models on the market at present. To help you choose, we've even collected five of the best enthusiast DSLRs currently on the market. So, without further ado...
Nikon D7100
£1000 body only
At its heart the D7100 is built around a revised version of the 24.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor that's found inside the D5200, which is combined with the same EXPEED 3 image processor found inside the flagship D4 model. The APS-C sensor gives it a crop factor of 1.5x, which essentially means that a 50mm lens will behave like a 75mm one on a full-frame camera. In a neat twist the D7100 also allows you to shoot at 1.3x (at a reduced resolution of 15.4MP), which extends the same 50mm lens to 98mm in 35mm terms, making the D7100 an especially useful camera for telephoto work. Elsewhere you get a standard ISO range of ISO 100-6400 that can be further expanded to ISO 25600, a 51-point AF system with 15 cross-type points, 6fps continuous shooting and 1080p Full HD movie recording at 30fps. As you'd expect the D7100's in-camera menu is rich with customisation options too, meaning you can adjust all kinds of parameters to suit your needs.

Canon 60D
£800 with 18-55mm kit zoom
While the replacement 70D model is due to be released at the end of August, the three-year-old 60D remains as Canon's main enthusiast-level DSLR model for the time being. That said, it could be argued that the much newer 700D has it beat in terms of basic spec and features, even though the 700D is positioned as more of a mid-range model. That's not to say that the 60D is a bad camera though - far from it. Built around an 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor, the 60D features a standard sensitivity range of ISO 100-6400 that's further expandable to ISO 12,800 along with a 9-point AF system. The 60D's optical viewfinder offers 96% coverage, while on the back there's a 3-inch/1040k-dot LCD display. In addition to regular still image capture the 60D also offers a range of creative digital filter effects along with 1080p Full HD movie capture at 30fps. All in all, and despite showing its age, there's still a lot to like about the 60D.

Pentax K-5 II
£800 with 18-55mm kit zoom
The K-5 II updates the two-year-old K-5 as the flagship model within Pentax's DSLR range. At a first glance the two models look remarkably similar, with both models sporting a rugged, weather-sealed exterior, a 16.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor and an 11-point AF system. Despite the apparent similarity a small number of improvements have been made to the newer model though. Chief among these is the K-5 II's SAFOX X autofocus module, which has been optimised to perform better in darker conditions. The 3-inch/920k-dot rear LCD display has changed too, with the newer model benefiting from gapless construction to cut down on reflections. Elsewhere though, the K-5 II largely carries on from where the K5 left off - not a bad thing, given that the original was a pretty decent camera in its own right. Sensitivity ranges from a standard ISO 100-12,800 (but can be further expanded to ISO 80-51,200), the optical viewfinder offers an impressive 100% view, continuous shooting maxes out at a healthy 7fps, and last but not least it's also possible to record 1080p Full HD movies at 25fps. One thing worth noting about Pentax DSLRs is that the image stabilisation technology is built into the camera (in the form of sensor-shift) which means you don't have to spend extra on stabilised lenses like you do with Canon and Nikon, which is a definite bonus for those on a budget.

Sony A77
£1150 with 16-50mm kit zoom
Strictly speaking the A77 isn't actually a DSLR owing to the lack of an optical viewfinder, instead it's what Sony calls a Single Lens Translucent (SLT) camera. The basic difference is that instead of using a hinged mirror, SLT cameras employ a fixed semi-transparent mirror that lets some light pass through to the sensor while bouncing the rest to a phase-detection sensor in the roof of the camera. The upshot of this arrangement is that they are able to shoot much faster and the A77 duly clocks in with a top continuous shooting speed of 12fps - the highest in its class. And to make up for the lack of an optical viewfinder the A77 instead sports a high-resolution 2.36m-dot EVF. Internally, the A77 employs an APS-C sized 24.3MP CMOS sensor, which is again one of the highest in its class. Because the resolution is so high Sony has been able to build some useful Smart Teleconverter technology into the A77. This allows you to raise the crop factor to either 1.4x or 2x and still retain a fairly respectable overall resolution (12MP and 6MP respectively). If you like to shoot at longer focal lengths but don't have the money to buy expensive telephoto lenses then this is undoubtedly a bonus. In addition, the A77 also offers a standard sensitivity range between 100-16,00 that can be lowered to ISO 50. In addition you can also extend beyond the ISO 16,000 ceiling via Sony's own Multi Frame Noise Reduction technology, which blends multiple exposures into a single image to help eliminate unwanted noise.

Canon 70D
£1500 body only
Due to arrive in the shops at the end of August, the 70D is the successor to the two-year-old 60D we've listed above. That said, the two cameras couldn't be more different with the 70D being perhaps the most revolutionary DSLR Canon has released in several years. The newer model will come with an all-new 20.3MP CMOS sensor that has been completely re-engineered so that each individual light-capturing diode can be split into two, with one half recording the image and the other supporting phase detection autofocus. Canon calls this Dual Pixel CMOS AF (or 'DPA' for short) and its benefits to video capture and still image capture in Live View are huge - in theory you can expect super-quick focusing in both, as well as the ability to focus without any issues in especially dim light. When not engaging the DPA technology you can also fall back on regular 19-point phase detection autofocus using the camera's 19 cross-type phase detection sensors. Elsewhere, the 70D boasts a top continuous shooting speed of 7fps, a vari-angle 3-inch/1040k-dot LCD display, 98% optical viewfinder coverage and, last but not least, built in Wi-Fi connectivity. In short, the new 70D promises to be a fantastically well-equipped enthusiasts' DSLR - be sure to keep an eye on WDC for a full review coming soon.

I was curious as to why the Quick Disconnect was leaking today, so I decided to take it apart. It looks like the previous owner treated this filter like crap. Aside from the hole in the lid, the Quick Disconnect level had a missing piece in one of its' inner components, which connects to the intake/outtake valves. Not only that, but one of the valves had a huge crack, where it connects to the lever. No wonder this thing was leaking...
I also heard back from the person I bought the Filstar from, and he said to call on Monday and they'll "take care of me." We'll see what that means on Monday. lol I'm hoping they'll split the cost, so I can buy a new Quick Disconnect while retaining the awesome deal on the filter. Then I'll have that for a new tank and the new Grech for the 75gal. I've been reading here: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=98858 some very good reviews/experience comments about the Grech, so I'm sure it'll be fine for what I need it for, which is just additional filtration to replace the 30gal sponges I have in there. With the bio-load of the Opaline Gourami and SAEs (both constant eaters/poopers), I need something more than a couple of sponges.
In fish news, while my sick Serpae is still alive, I still find him resting at the bottom of the tank every now and then. It doesn't appear that he's getting better, so I decided to do the more humane thing and put him down. I always feel bad about doing that and losing a fish, but I usually do this for the ones who are too far gone and not responding to medication.
I'm not having the best of luck with tetras of any kind, it seems. ;/Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
After adding carbon filtration to the filter, scraping off the algae in front and doing a pwc (about 60-65%), the tank is much clearer. It's amazing how fast carbon works at removing medication/odor/color.
I also removed about 30+ red root floating plants. They were consuming the top of the tank, preventing a lot of light from reaching the rest of the tank. I need to stay on top of that.
Speaking of clean tanks, here's my little Algae Eating Crew:
All of those specs in the background are air bubbles attaching to algae/plants. I was having some issues with air in the filter. =X It's now been taken care of. lol
Going to start a new post, so I don't run out of pic-posting room. =]Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
So, I haven't showed you the new plant additions in the tank yet (just the idea). I realize you can't see everything from the front-on view of the tank, so hopefully with these, you can see everything ok:
Here's the left side of the tank:
Here you can see more of the Water Sprite behind the driftwood branch on the right side. Two bunches of the Alternanthera reineckii roseafolia are in front of the thicker part of the driftwood branch. Hopefully those will grow pretty tall, covering parts of the branch. I moved the Ludwigia repens in to the corner, by the sponge filter, so that all of it's together. In the left front corner is my other Amazon Sword, and while you can't see it, the Tiger Lotus is to the right of it, in front of the little caves. It IS making progress - I just saw an offshoot from the bulb (very red). I'm looking forward to seeing what this thing looks like, but it's an amazingly slow grower.
Center, with a pretty good pic of the Raphael Cat (he's been making many more appearances since the first week I had him):
Here you can see the Red Rubin Sword in the background and the Cryptocoryne undulata in the foreground. I took a pic of it on the left side, but you can see the Hygrophila Corymbosa stricta to the left of the undulata here, as well.
And the right (don't ask me what my GBR is doing... that's a really weird photo):
Here you can see the red Dwarf Lilly (which isn't so "dwarf" anymore). You can also see one of the Water Sprites behind the driftwood (there is another one, toward the right, directly behind it). You can also see my algae-infested Anubias nanas (two of them) in the driftwood, and my Amazon Sword, behind the Lilly.
You can see the Pygmy Sword Chain plants all over the place. I used to like it, but I'm having second thoughts. It grows rapidly and anywhere it wants... I know that some of the fish appreciate it, because they can hide in the front middle, because of them, but I could easily replace them with something that's NOT a chain. ;P
Anyway, here's the diagram I started with again, just to show you how I followed it. =]
I posted that on 1/28... see how fast that Dwarf Lilly grows?Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
Sheesh your little Algae Eaters need to get to work!! Your walls are really covered with algae.. Have you thought about checking out what is the problem or what is in over abundance in your tank that's causing the algae??
Your tank is beautifully scaped my friend, but what is up with all the algae? Are the whole back and sides covered??
Loving the weird GBR pic. :)130g: 7 Angelfish, 1 Bolivian, 12 Neon Tetras, 14 Serpae Tetras, 9 Kuhli Loaches, 1 Otocinslus, 1 Corydora ? Ghost Shrimp
I've noticed that people HATE it when you point out how stupid they are, so now I try to do it politely.
Thats what it looks like to me MandyK to be honest.. His water actually looks sort of green.. Like something you'd see at a petstore that didn't watch their levels of something, phosphates maybe? Idk.. If I were him I'd check out everything and try and find the source of the problem and remove it.. Considering his problem is so severe. No amount of algae eaters or Nerite Snails are going to clear that all up.
The water isn't green, just the backs and sides of the tank. I've had an issue with algae since starting this sucker up. I had an algae bloom when I was cycling it w/ plants and it's taken a stranglehold on everything since then. I'm pretty sure it was introduced by plants, but as I was just entering the hobby, I also made several mistakes in the beginning. I left the lights on for about 12-13hrs a day, I didn't have appropriate lighting (wpg wise), I dosed liquid ferts according to the instructions (about every three days), and I overfed my fish (fed them 3 times a day).
Unfortunately, addressing these issues hasn't helped. I cut liquid ferts down to once per week, I started dosing with liquid CO2 on a daily basis, I upped my lights from 140 to 216 watts (which gives me 2.88wpg), I only leave my lights on for 8hrs a day, I cut feedings back to 1 time a day, my phosphates are 0, pH 7.6, am 0, trite 0, trates usually 5-10, I just started using additional tab ferts to address any trace shortage... and now I've added a school of SAEs (can't have Nerites, because of Assassins, unfortunately).
I used to scrub the algae off the back/side walls, but got sick of doing it - I figure it's only helping to filter the tank and the SAEs can eat it (just as the GBRs & Gourami do). You'd be surprised at how many fish actually eat algae, and not just algae eaters. My Gourami grazes on it all day, which is why he poops so much.
So, if anyone has any ideas that I haven't tried, lemme know. I'm waiting to see how HP does with pure CO2, before I go that route. I really don't need a CO2 canister sitting around in the basement, but if it works, it works. ;/

When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
I just had a thought.... While my tank water doesn't have phosphates, I'm wondering about my tap water. I used to have ammonia in my tap, so maybe I have phosphates and nitrates... If I have phosphates in the water supply, I might need to get some phosphate remover in my filter. =/ Going to run some tests now.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
Just tested my tap and here are my findings:
Am = .5
Trite = 0
Trate = 0
Phos = .25
However, I just did some quick research/reading. Apparently the old school of thought was that too many phosphates stimulate algae growth... However, the opposite is true, which is why people dose phosphates for planted tanks. 0 phosphates can stimulate algae growth, while 1ppm phosphates will aid in plant growth and is aimed for by planted tank owners. And yes, I was of the old school mentality (since that's what I've been told and heard so many times before).
I'm amazed by this knowledge... I'm going to have to start dosing phosphates, since I'm obviously lacking. ;/ As for the Ammonia, that's been an issue for a while (I contacted my water supply company. They actually sent someone out here to test free ammonia, and said there wasn't a problem - phft). Luckily my bio filters are perfectly able to handle the load + the bio-load in the tanks.
The more you know...Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
Hmm that's really fishy then... I'm sort of OCD about the whole thing.. I'm the type of person who does a head count on all my fish and snails, doesn't like it when plants grow among each other and get mixed up, and even a spec of algae on my walls bothers me.. There seems to have been a difference in your algae since the adding of the SAEs but honestly if I was you, I'd go to some pretty insane lengths to rid my tank of that algae, even as far as using chemical additives or just simply wiping it off everything, almost every day.

The Integrative Liberal Studies (ILS) Program emphasizes the integration and synthesis of knowledge across traditional disciplinary boundaries. ILS invites students to deepen their understanding of complex contemporary issues through interdisciplinary topics and courses. Students engage in a range of co-curricular activities that enrich their academic experience.
The ILS Program is grounded in the principle that a liberating education—one that emphasizes humane values and promotes the free and rigorous pursuit of truth—creates good citizens, individuals who assume responsibility for their thoughts and actions and their impact on the world. Their personal development is inextricably linked to the contributions they make to their scholarly, social and political communities. To be good citizens, people must be able to think critically and to communicate their ideas effectively. In serving UNC Asheville's liberal arts mission, the ILS Program works alongside the majors to help people develop and improve these skills by immersing them in an interdisciplinary community of mutually supportive scholars.
At the heart of the ILS Program lies the philosophical conviction that liberal arts students should experience how disciplines investigate, understand and construct bodies of knowledge differently, through a range of concepts and methods. A liberal arts education exposes the student to the ways that individual disciplines approach those topics, problems and issues that inform the human condition. Such an education creates opportunities for students to experience many points of contact and divergence across the curriculum.
Specific program requirements are available from the ILS Requirements link at the right, and in the UNC Asheville catalog. Our program map details what courses students will need to take.

Cute, but...
January 17, 2014
These shoes are super cute & I'm anxious for warmer weather so I can break these puppies in. I have yet to officially wear them, but in trying them on around the house they are cheaply made (hence the price) & the strap that goes over the toes is harsh & uncomfortable against my baby toe. My feet are really narrow so I imagine if one has wider feet they'd be murder. I get the feeling that like most cute shoes these are made for sitting not much walking.
Pros:Cute, price, adjustable around the leg
Cons:Uncomfortable toe strap, very cheaply made
