Now that I've got your attention, here's the answers to questions that I'm sure you were about to ask before you saw this thread:
1) Is there an exterior part I can add to my car to make it faster or more stable?
- Exterior parts dont matter in IDAS4. They dont matter. They dont make your speed, accel, brakes faster or stronger and doesnt make your handling "heavier". All they are good for is aesthetic value.
2) How do I do teh doriftu??
- Hold the wheel like a good little boy. Now move both your arms in harmony either to the right or left. There! Congratulations.
3) What is the best overall car in IDAS4?
- The Trueno claims top rank because its the easiest car to control and has good speed and accel everywhere. Still, it doesnt mean you would be godly if you use a Trueno. Its very slippery so its also harder on wet but if you learn to control it right, you have a good all-rounder car. Its ok in battles but does not have the best startup in the game. Also, every course has "course cars" which either performs better or has better top speed than all the other cars.
4) What are the "course cars" and why?
Akina Lake ccw - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 (course car because of 4th gear overrev top speed 191)
Akina Lake cw - Subaru Impreza GDBF (course car because of 4th gear overrev top speed 191)
Myogi DH - Honda Civic EG6 (course car because of slower speed loss during turns)
Myogi UH - Nissan Skyline GTR32 (course car because of every gear's top speed is higher than most cars by 1kph; ie: 4th gear is at 169kph)
Akagi DH - Mazda RX7 FC (course car because of slower speed loss during turns and easier to handle than the FD)
Akagi UH - Mazda RX7 FD (course car because of slower speed loss during turns as well as stability on exit. It also has a faster 3rd gear compared by 1kph compared to other cars: 116kph)
Akina DH - AE86 Trueno (course car because of every gear's top speed is higher than most cars by 1kph; ie: 5th gear is at 177kph)
Akina UH - Subaru Impreza GC8V (course car because of every gear's top speed is higher than most cars by 1kph; ie: 5th gear is at 175kph)
Irohazaka DH - Toyota MR2 (course car because of every gear's top speed is higher than most cars by 1kph; ie: 3rd gear is at 105kph)
Irohazaka UH / Reverse - Suzuki Cappucino, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III (for the capp, course car because its small size allows you to make a tighter line on the wall ram. In iro reverse, even by using the wall ram, there is a tendency for other cars to slip on the outside, hitting the outside wall too rather than just the inside wall. The cappa doesnt, if you do it the correct way. For the Evo3, it's got killer acceleration for Reverse and still slightly smaller than most of the cars in its accel range.)
Tsukuba OB - Honda S2000 (course car because of every gear's top speed is higher than most cars by 1kph; ie: 5th gear is at 148kph. Three other cars share this top speed, the EK9, the GTR34 and the GTR32 but the S2000's handling as well as the top speed makes it the ideal choice for the course car)
Tsukuba IB - Nissan Skyline GTR34 (course car because of every gear's top speed is higher than most cars by 1kph; ie: 5th gear is at 148kph)
5) Yay! So if I use a course car during battle, I'll instantly pwn those who dont have them?
- Uhhh.... no. Course cars lose their 1kph or slower speed loss advantages during battles. Their speed goes back to regular speed. There are only 3 exceptions. I cant say them, though. LOL!
Still, some course cars have handling advantages. For example, I'd still like to use the Trueno in Akina DH or S2K in Tsukuba OB but I dont want to use the GTR34 in Tsukuba IB because of its "omfg-im-hitting-the-wall-AGAIN" handling.
6) Well, if I want to have 3 "great-everywhere-and-TA" cars in one card, which would you recommend?
- Tough question. I would go with 3 alternatives. And all of them have the Trueno:
( Option A ) Trueno, FC, S2K - Trueno obviously can take on any course but to own the big 3 (ie: Akina, Akagi, Tsukuba), these 3 course cars can take on any downhill map and fast enough in the UH. These are the cars btw on my very first IDAS4 card. And this garage is what I would say my "main" one.
( Option B ) Trueno, FD, MR2 - You have two great downhill cars with the Trueno and the MR2, the FD is there to get those wet maps that you think are too slippery for your underpowered cars and also to apply a bit of sexiness. Plus you get Iro with the MR2.
( Option C ) Trueno, GC8V, Cappucino - Now if you consider yourself quite a battler and also you love challenges and still want to pwn TA maps in your spare time, this is a good line-up. The ever-redundant Trueno is still there. This time we have the GC8V which acts like the FD on Option B except that this has GREAT start-up for those who love being in the front. For the pros who love the challenge, the cappa actually has SLOWER speeds than ALL cars in ALL maps AND also has startup. Slower by 1 to 1.5KPH than all cars, its the ultimate underdog car! Still, it can do a great line and passing is a breeze. Take note:
Black cappa + Night condition + Blind attack = sex
7) How do I get the tuning shops?
- Alright, after you first get your car and card, keep ejecting your card until you get to your very first PERFORMANCE PARTS SHOP. You will know it when you see stuff like ENGINE, EXHAUST, BODY, ETC. Anyway this IS the performance shop, get your first upgrade and then eject your card. Now look at the pattern below:
Performance Shop ---> Normal Eject ---> Normal Eject ---> Body Shop A ---> Avatar random thingee ---> Normal Eject ---> Repeat from the start
Take note that there are two body shops. A and B. Body Shop A would be the hoods, rear bumper, body kits, rear spoiler, Side skirts/fender. Body Shop B would contain Muffler, Wheels, Sticker, Transmission, Mirrors and Misc.
Also take note that if you MISS your performance shop (ie: did not eject your card and continued), then dont fret because your pattern will change. This time, replace Body Shop A or B with Performance Shop and proceed as normal. Dont miss it again.
8) Can you tell me what is the best tuning method?
- I get this question a lot. The answer is that THERE IS NO "RIGHT" WAY TO TUNE! You can go 1-1-1-1-1 or 2-1-1-1-1 or 7-0-0-0-0. It all depends on you. What you should take note thought is that its not the right way of the tune that you should be concerned about but rather TO GET YOUR FRICKIN' CAR FRICKIN' FULL TUNED!!!
But if you INSIST on wanting a tuning pattern. I usually complete Step 7 Engine first in all cars. And then the next internal upgrades will depend on the car. For example, Im tuning a car with good handling but is considered "underpowered" (ie: Trueno, S2K, FC, Levin, AE85, Miata, etc) I do this method 7-7-0-0-7. The point of doing it this way is to boost power first since I dont have power but have decent handling. Logical, right? Now if I was tuning cars which has bad-ass power but heavier handling (ie: Evo9, GDBF, FD, the Skylines, etc), I do it this way 7-0-7-7-0. I STILL step 7 the Engine but this time, I choose body and suspension first over exhaust and ECU. Since I already have kick-ass accel, I focus on the handling first.
Still, as again stressed, it doesnt matter which way you go to tune. This is your goal ---> 7-7-7-7-7. How you get there is up to you.
9) Do you use the brakes?
- If you're on a ver1.2 machine: Not always. Only to PC. Refer to this thread to know more: http://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=31636
- If you're on a ver1.5 machine: Brakes are extremely important in the game. Not braking will result in loss of traction for your wheels making your car swerve out of control. Even if you do fix this "oversteer moment", your accel is lagged until the next hairpin you need to brake on. PC will not work like it used to in ver1.2. It can still fix your accel a wee bit but nothing to bring it back to even 50%.
10) How do you get auras?
- You cant. At least not yet. What we have is the "international" version. Only the japanese versions have auras and ranks.
11) What car has the best startup in the game?
- Nobody has proven one car to be the best but take note that AWD cars have better startup than FR or FF cars. The gears have little to do with it. Its all on the traction.
12) What is the best engine for my Trueno?
- Any. All 3 engines perform the same. Only the tachs and the sound changes.
13) How can I post my times / see the times on the (English) internet rankings?
- Click on this link: http://netrank.initiald.sega.com/ranking/
If you want to post your time, go to DRIVER REGISTRATION. You need your TA password and your Card Number (its on your card). If asked for an email, you can use an email that your ISP has provided for you or, for less hassle, use www.keromail.com. The usual emails dont work, ie: Yahoo, Google, Hotmail.
14) I'm new, what car do you think I should make first?
- Make what you want. No use making a car if you dont like it. But if you want to be a serious TA player, refer to my table on "course cars" above and make the suitable car for the course. If you still want to pester me about it. The Trueno, S2000 and the MR2 are great cars for beginners. They're speedy, you can take them anywhere (the Trueno is a tad bit slippery, though) but these cars will help you learn the basics of the game.
15) Do I really need to PC?
- If you're on a ver1.2 machine: Do you really need to breathe?
- If you're on a ver1.5 machine: On some occasions it still works but not all the time. (Its used mainly now on entry and not on exit)
16) Does eraser still work?
- No. Everyone who tell you stuff like that or some "clutch kicking", are just acting cool and dont know jacksh*t about what they're talking about.
17) What is the best startup for the game?
- For Time Attacks, I do a hot start overreving it as it counts down and immediately shifting to 2nd gear when it says "go". The engine will accelerate the same but the point of shifting quickly lessens the chance for you to mess up shifting to 2nd gear on a normal shift. If you overrev a bit on 1st gear, it already messes up your speed which messes up your times. For battles, what I do is do a cold start but I kick the pedal at the "one" number. When go starts, the needle will jump to the right RPM and I shift to 2nd gear normally when 1st gear hits the limit.
I have made experiments and I've found out that on TAs, any way to shift is ok (cold start, hard start, shift up immediately, normal shifting) but shifting up immediately gives you less chances to screw up shifting to 2nd gear.
18) What are the different shift points in the game?
- This time around, there are no specific shift points. You shift up when your car is overreving.
19) Im playing ver1.5 now. But I still like to play on ver1.2 machines. Is this possible?
- Yes. When you first play ver1.5 after 1.2, the machine will prompt you that all your times from the previous version will be replaced by your new times for ver1.5. Dont worry. If you return to a 1.2 machine, all your times will still be there. But what for eh? Life is about adapting. If you dont adapt, you die. Life lesson kiddo.
20) I'm renewing my card but I got something called ERROR 403 and the techs at my arcade dont know what to do. Why does this happen? How can I solve this?
- Ah, the dreaded 403. Yep, this still happens even on ver1.5. There are a few reasons why this happens. Your arcade may have a faulty card dispenser but most likely, if your arcade stores their cards by the bulk in the machine, the cards get stuck and the machine tells you it cant get the card. There are instances that a card is inserted the wrong way on the slot (stupid techs). Anyway, no problem. Once you've started the renewal process, your data gets stored on the machine. There was just an error writing it on the new card.
- Here's what you should do. Dont be afraid when the techs turn the machine off (but to be safe, tell them not to.) Tell them to press the "service test button thingie" inside the slot where you put in tokens. There would be a series of options that will appear. You should go to "GAME TEST MODE." And then more options will appear. Look for the one that says "IC CARD RESTORATION". When you click on that, you will see a series of card numbers (remember that when something goes wrong on renewal, the machine stores the data). Find the one that matches yours. Tell the tech to highlight it, click that service test button thingy again then click on the option that says "restore". The machine will ask you to insert back your "Expired" Card. It will then write your data back on it. You can then start the renewal process again and hope it would never happen. Just ask the tech to check if the cards are inserted properly, if the dispenser is ok, etc etc etc.
21) Who are you?
- I'm just a normal player. I'm from the Philippines, though if you want to know more.
22) Why should I believe you?
- Tell you what... click on this link ---> http://netrank.initiald.sega.com/ranking/
Pick a map then click on total rankings. Find my card name WOLF or any of my students' card names, GECKO, CROW, AHC, HYENA, AURICK or VIPER.
If we have a faster time on the map than you do, then you dont have the right to question my answers. BUT if you are faster than I am, then you're not supposed to be in this thread because you already know all of this, dumbass.

ive tried evo 3 on reverse its kinda powerful after exit the booat on kph speed accels fast compare to capu n mr2.
well,iro in story its mr 2 and evo 3 course car..base la

Perhaps adding "How should I tune? 1-2-3-4-5 or 1-0-0-0-1 or etc etc" can be considered too, since that's the question that's gaining popularity lately.

Thanks for the support guys. I've also added a few more questions that n00bs usually ask. First post is now edited.
@Meteor - Thanks for the PM to the mods.
@shadow_z3r0 - Added that as Question 5. Thanks.
@Coastalmixx - Thanks again for pinning.
@RB26TT - Thanks for the input. Iro reverse in Japan has been fought out by both the MR2 and the Cappa. The evo3 is a good car but is ranked as 2nd best car in the map for a reason. The MR2 has a more stable exit but still has the tendency to hit the outside wall. Moreover, since the cappa has a smaller size, it can do the best inside line in a course which is made up of curves. I'm sure you've probably tried all three cars as did me. So if I cant decide, I base it on the rankings both english and japan. Japanese Rankings have the cappa as number 1, evo3 as 2nd and MR2 as 3rd best car. English rankings have the MR2 at number 1. evo3 as 2nd and cappa as 3rd. So we can say that the MR2 and Cappa can be tied as the course car. Still, based on all my experience in the game, I prefer the cappa on the UH.
@razorsuKe - Thanks for the support, man. Sorry about the all caps but as somebody has pointed out, n00bs still miss out the stickies. If they see a thread with this title and all caps, n00b instinct would bring them in here.
@KTX - Your question has been added as question number 6.
@Phoenix_Cypher_K1 - Thanks, Phoenix. Missed that. Edited.
@Retsuka - Negative .001.
@iblizsatan - No.
@J]-[UN - It depends on the map, man. Tsukuba IB is an exception for me because I use almost 2 or 3 PCs just to stabilize the R34. But as you already probably know, the best time to PC is after "riding the lock". This means that you turn really early so that when the lock hits, you're still on the inside. Ride it until you get a chance to PC and stabilize your car. There are exceptions though. There are maps which you have to "cancel" the lock early so you can get a better line. This applies to Tsukuba OB (particularly the last turn and the 3rd to the last turn). My theory is the less PCs you can do, the faster your time. It all depends on when you do it so you have to be efficient and experiment until you get the timing right. I used to do 2 PCs in the 2nd turn of Akina as well as the roller parts of Tsukuba IB. Now I only use one PC.
@KenjiDc2 - Thanks. I remember ben or somebody else telling me to make a thread about that. I added it now. Its at question 8.

TV star Tommy Ivo brought drag racing to the masses
Every professional sport has had its share of characters. All the major stick-and-ball activities are peppered with colorful types who have given fans something - or someone - to root for or jeer at.
Auto racing, too, has had its fair share of class clowns and quick-quip performers who the press have counted on for humorous or eyebrow-raising sound bites. One of the most memorable is the irrepressible John Force, the all-time king of, appropriately enough, drag racing's Funny Car class.
But long before Force's follies, Tommy Ivo, movie actor and hard-core drag racer, also managed to inject some fun and pizazz into the sport.
Ivo was a natural to play the part. This skinny, blond-haired California kid looked like a typical young gearhead, the sort who slaves most nights and weekends on his pride-and-joy hot-rod project. Drag-racing fans could relate to him because Ivo looked and acted just like one of them.
Far more importantly, though, was the fact that Ivo was already famous before he became involved in tearing up quarter-mile tracks. He had already acted in more than 100 movies and had 200 TV roles in the 1940s and 1950s, including the Mickey Mouse Club and The Donna Reed and Danny Thomas shows. Playing to an audience, whether in front of a camera or thousands of cheering fans, was something that came naturally to him.
Ivo's involvement in a high-risk endeavor such as drag racing was frowned upon by the film studios, and in an attempt to keep his hobby a secret, he often drove using a different name.
With the money he made from acting, Ivo built a number of dragsters, including cars featuring two, and then four Buick engines. This was between 1957 and 1963 when the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) had banned the use of nitromethane, a dangerous and volatile power-adding fuel. Without nitro, Ivo's solution for creating more horsepower was to add extra gasoline-powered engines. His two-engined dragster was the first quarter-mile racer to surpass the 160-, 170- and 180-mph barriers. But his ultimate was the Showboat, a car that featured four 402-cubic-inch Buick V8s and four-wheel-drive. Barreling down the drag strip with smoke pouring from all four tires, it created a huge sensation whenever Ivo raced it.
Fortunately for drag racing, the TV series Ivo was starring in was cancelled in 1961 after two seasons. Ivo, then 25, left acting for good to pursue fame and fortune behind the wheel.
With a partner, Ivo opened a race shop where they constructed tubular frames for "slingshot" dragsters: long-wheelbase machines with motorcycle-style wheels in front and massive motors positioned directly in front of the driver. Once the NHRA's ban on nitro fuel was lifted in 1963 and the Top Fuel category established to support its use, Ivo began driving single-engine Chrysler-powered slingshots. That year, he became the first driver to go below the eight-second mark in the quarter mile.
Although Ivo competed in many of the NHRA's big events, he also devoted much of his time - and generated most of his income - driving in match races. These were non-championship events where a track promoter would pay a fee to the driver for his appearance. Before the age of mega-buck corporate sponsorship, match racing paid the bills, and movie-and-racing-star Tommy Ivo, (by then billed as TV Tommy Ivo) made the most of his celebrity status.
By the late 1960s, Ivo was pulling down some serious money by match racing around the country, competing against other established drivers such as Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney and Don "The Snake" Prudhomme.
Always the promoter, TV Tommy's race-car transporter had large glass windows installed along each side and an illuminated interior so his fans could see in while he was travelling from event to event. Not only that, but his unusual Corvette push-car would be parked on the roof of the rig, with just enough room to clear highway overpasses.
In 1972, Ivo joined Don Garlits by making the switch to a rear-engine Top Fuel dragster. That year, he also became the first to run the quarter mile is less than six seconds. By then, the new Funny Car class - dragsters with exaggerated bodies that vaguely resembled passenger cars - had been developed. In 1976, Ivo was competing in the Funny Car class where he competed (but seldom won) against his longtime rival Prudhomme. Four years later, he was exhibiting a flame-shooting jet engine-powered machine that was not only quick, but a great show-stopper.
In 1982, at the age of 46 and after 30 years in drag racing, Ivo made the decision to retire. For his final hurrah, Ivo toured with his old four-engine Showboat which sported a Buick station wagon body. Despite a serious crash in Canada where he broke three vertebrae, Ivo's final performance carried on, winding up at the Orange County (Calif.) International Raceway.
There, after his final run, TV Tommy Ivo saluted the crowd, then set his driving gloves on fire at the starting line.
Hollywood couldn't have staged a more dramatic career ending for a man who spent the better part of life as an entertainer, whether on the silver screen, or at the race track.

Exploring U.S. Poets Laureate and their changing roles over the years.
The position of poet laureate of the United States is somewhat different from that of Britain, where the title was first established in the 17th century. Whereas the British office renders the laureate a salaried member of the British royal household, the United States poet laureate acts as the chair of poetry for the Library of Congress.*
In the U.S., the poet laureate is charged with raising "the national consciousness to a greater appreciation of the reading and writing of poetry." The poet is chosen yearly by the Librarian of Congress. The position was instituted in 1937 as the consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress and was held by 30 poets before an act of Congress in 1985 changed the name to poet laureate.**
Charles Wright (2014–), photographed above is our current poet laureate in the United States, here are a few notable poets to explore:
Robert Penn Warren (Laureate 1944-45 and 1986-1987) – Best known for his Pulitzer Prize winning work of fiction All the Kings Men, Warren was also regarded as one of the best poets of his generation. His works were often inspired by Southern history and Southern life.
Gwendolyn Brooks (Laureate 1985-1986) – Gwendolyn Brooks was a highly regarded poet with the distinction of being the first African-American author to win the Pulitzer Prize and the first black woman to hold the position of Poet Laureate. Many of Brooks's works display a political consciousness, especially those from the 1960s and later, with several of her poems reflecting the civil rights activism of that period.
Billy Collins (Laureate 2001-2003) – Dubbed "the most popular poet in America" by Bruce Weber in the New York Times, Billy Collins is famous for conversational, witty poems that welcome readers with humor but often slip into quirky, tender or profound observation on the everyday, reading and writing, and poetry itself.

I am very happy to see codeguru hosting a dedicated WPF forum. I hope it takes off ( It should! all the experts here seriously need to start thinking about WPF, if they want to preserve their cutting edge on software development ) It will make you think your starting all over again. Well, you are starting over again. There is a nice advantage in understanding .net, but as you progress just a little bit into WPF, you'll quickly realize just how much you dont know. I say this as a challenge, afterall thats why some (or most) of us develop software. For the challenge, and the personal satisfaction of knowing that "you did" and "you can".
I've seen some amazing projects in WPF, that a straight c#,c++, or vb developer could only dream of making (in any reasonable amount of time).
Remember, vs2010 visual interface is supposedly entirely written in WPF. Say yes to WPF. Microsoft seems to think so. GDI has been fired!
Consider this book to get you going:

The Engineer Makes a Stop
Shabbat Shuva, the Shabbat between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, when we read the Haftorah beginning with the Prophet Hosheas call for all of Israel to return to their G-d, is a time for reflecting on the miracle of return in our generation. The most amazing feature of this Teshuva Revolution is the fact that there are so many different catalysts for Jews of all ages making such a radical change in their lifestyle.
One such person was the engineer of a train in the Israel Railways. One day, as he was alighting from the engine he had driven to its destination, he saw a very religious-looking person running towards him. His first thought was that this relic of the past was coming to complain about the speed of the train. To his pleasant surprise the fellow told him he simply wanted to thank him for driving the train which brought him to where he wanted to be.
For so many years, the engineer said to himself, I have been driving trains and no one ever thought of saying thanks to me. If observance of Judaism teaches a person to have such sensitivity and appreciation of others, then I better take a look at what it can do for me.
It was this incident which led to the engineers joining those who heeded the Prophets call to a full return to G-d.

The 'Coupon Election' was on December 14th, 1918. The 'Coupon Election' is so-called as those candidates for the Liberal Party who had supported the coalition government of David Lloyd George during World War One were issued with a letter of support signed by both Lloyd George and Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the Conservative Party. This was seen as being a mark of approval for those candidates. Herbert Asquith, the official leader of the Liberals, referred to the letter as a "coupon" and the title stuck with regards to the name of the actual election in 1918. 159 Liberal candidates received the 'coupon'.
Where a 'Coupon' Liberal stood for election, no Conservative challenged him. Where a Conservative stood, no 'Coupon' Liberal challenged him. Therefore there was no chance of coalition candidate competing against another.
Those Liberals not issued with the coupon were faced with a huge political mountain to climb and only 26 'Squiffites' who supported Asquith won a seat. Even Asquith lost his place in the Commons when he lost his seat for East Fife. Many see the 1918 election as the start of the end for the Liberal Party as a major influence in the British political scene.
The 'Coupon Election' was the first election when women over the age of 30 and with property qualifications could vote. The 1918 Representation of the People Act also gave all males the right to vote. Therefore, the 1918 election saw a huge rise in the number of people voting compared to the last election held in the UK -December 1910. In 1918, 10,786,818 people voted. In December 1910, the figure was 5,235,238.
The election also saw the rise of Sinn Fein in Ireland. The party had 72 members elected, including Countess Markievicz, the first female to be elected to Parliament. However, in line with Sinn Fein policy, the countess did not take her seat in the House of Commons.
The 1918 Coupon Election was also the first election when everyone in the UK voted on the same day. However, the count did not begin until December 28th.

Stoughton Firefighters investigating the cause of an early morning fire Tuesday in an unoccupied house on School Street discovered ammunition and a grenade in the house directly behind it—though it now appears a previous homeowner left the ammunition, police say.
Stoughton Firefighters investigating the cause of an early morning fire Tuesday in an unoccupied house on School Street discovered ammunition and a grenade in the house directly behind it—though it now appears a previous homeowner left the ammunition, police say.
Firefighters responded to 911 calls at 3:21 a.m. and arrived at 224 School Street to find a substantial fire consuming the first and second floors of the home, which Deputy Fire Chief Mark Dolloff said was built sometime near 1900.
"Neighbors reported hearing an explosion," Dolloff said. "I cannot confirm or deny any explosion."
As of Wednesday, the fire department had not determined the cause of the fire, Dolloff said. The state Fire Marshal's Office and Stoughton's fire investigator are investigating the fire.
There were no injuries in the blaze. The house sustained extensive damage and is considered uninhabitable, Dolloff said.
No one was living in the home as it was undergoing renovations at the time. The homeowner owns multiple residences and is currently living in New Bedford, Dolloff said. The fire department did not release the individual's name.
Considering the timing of the fire and the fact that no one was living at the home, Dolloff said the fire was suspicious, although he cautioned that it was a broad classification.
Later Tuesday morning, Stoughton Capt. James Bertram was conducting "post-incident analysis," when he heard running water coming from the direction of a second house, which was located on the same property, directly behind the first home. Bertram discovered a broken water feed that was free flowing into the second home, but it was unclear how the feed broke, Dolloff said.The New Bedford homeowner owns both houses, Dolloff said.
As Bertram went into the basement to shut off the water, he found the ammunition and a hand grenade, Dolloff said.
The State Police bomb squad and the Stoughton Police Department responded. After x-raying the grenade, officials determined it was not live. Officials were able to secure the other ammunition in the basement, Dolloff said.
Stoughton Police Executive Officer Thomas Murphy said it is likely a previous homeowner left the grenade and ammunition. He said the home had changed owners a few times.
"We don't have any suspects in any ammunitions violations," Murphy said, adding the grenade was "hollowed out" and appeared to be a souvenir of some kind. The bullets were probably .45 caliber, Murphy said.
When firefighters arrived, they determined no one was inside the home and decided to fight the blaze from outside, instead of risking injury by going in. Since it was under construction, personnel didn't know how stable the home was, Dolloff said."We don't know where it stands," Dolloff said.
Firefighters cleared the scene at 6:21 a.m. Fire departments in Avon, Brockton, Canton, Sharon and Randolph provided mutual aid, Dolloff said.

The clutch was a bit of an impulse Black Friday purchase (see the rest of my Black Friday haul here) but I do absolutely LOVE it. It's so OTT but classy and fun all at the same time. The colour makes me feel like some sort of Disney princess or something!
This kinda combo is something I'll be rocking to drinks with friends in the evening, paired with a sleek all black outfit for ultimate cool girl points. You could even desk to dinner them if you switched out your day to day handbag and flats with this sparkly number and sexy stilettos.

Water and oil don't mix, but water and exercise certainly do, and aquatic exercise is here to stay for club owners who want a competitive edge over their dry-land cousins. As waistlines expand, it is more important than ever for club owners who opt for water programming to get it right.
Before you dive in, consider these points to prevent design oversights:
- Water temperature
Lap swimmers can tolerate nothing warmer than 82 degrees. Aquatic exercisers and students in swim lessons want nothing colder than 86 degrees. Rehabilitation and therapy users require temperatures of 90 degrees or higher. Therefore, owners of many full-service clubs are building three separate pools to deliver optimal water temperatures for aquatic activities.
Hot whirlpools must reach 105 degrees, and cold plunge pools must maintain 55 degrees. Often, these pools are adjacent to each other, which can result in cooling systems fighting heating systems. Non-insulated cold piping that shares a pipe trench with non-insulated hot piping will lead to a lifetime of excessive energy costs and dissatisfied members.
- Heating and cooling
For both indoor and outdoor venues, the science of heating and cooling pool water requires careful analysis of loads, equipment sizing, routing of piping and energy conservation. The savings you'll get on your energy bills from solar heating can pay back the added cost of roof-mounted solar collectors.
- Water treatment
The hype about salt-based chlorination systems is true. The water feels better, smells cleaner, looks clearer and is easier on skin and eyes. The key to success for salt chlorination is three-fold. You must understand bather load, as high bather densities will rule out salt systems. Specify on-site system start-up assistance and pool operator training by the salt system vendor. And you must engineer compatible systems and components for filtration, heating and pH balance.
- Indoor air quality
Deck-level air exhaust is absolutely essential to remove chloramines from the swimmer's breathing zone. This is best accomplished by exhausting the surge tank and gutter chamber and by locating return air grills at deck level. In all but the driest climates, you must provide mechanical dehumidification of an indoor pool environment.
- Indoor air balance
No one likes to detect the odor of a pool in non-aquatic areas of a club, and doors alone won't do the job. The best prevention method is to maintain positive air pressure in all dry areas and negative air pressure in all wet areas. This assures a steady migration of air from dry areas to wet areas and fights against the upstream flow of odor/vapor-laden air.
- Corrosion
Avoid the use of steel components — even stainless steel — in chlorine environments. This includes door handles, grab rails and fasteners. Safe material choices include glass, concrete, aluminum, ceramic tile and epoxy coatings. Using dry wall and acoustic ceiling panels also must be carefully understood and appropriately detailed relative to the vapor barrier envelope.
- The user experience
All pools should have step-in/step-out access options. Many people in the prime target market for aquatic programming will not do well with ladder-only climbouts.
Depth profiles should be purpose driven. Lane walking is a common entry-level aquatic exercise and requires consistent lane-by-lane depths with some variation for individual height. Be mindful of your lane widths for lap swimmers. Only the most capable swimmers can share a lane, so you should provide full competitive lane widths of 7 feet, 6 inches. The typical recreational lap swimmer prefers a private lane of about 6 feet in width.
- Gutters vs. skimmers
For superior water quality and wave quelling, the simple — although expensive — choice is gutter pools with a continuous perimeter gutter. They will add $25,000 to $75,000 to the cost of a pool.
- Decks and deck drains
Hands down, the best deck finish choice for cost, esthetics, cleanliness, non-slip and durability are 1-inch by 1-inch ceramic mosaic tiles. The best choice for deck drainage is a recessed strip drain located at the junction of the deck and pool shell.
- ADA compliance
Avoid ramped entries. They are a huge waste of space and unneeded for disabled access. Deck-mounted hoists will satisfy the accessibility requirements and are easily shared among multiple pools.

When Yogi Bhajan taught classes, he would often leave time for questions and answers. Students were eager to have their questions answered by the Master. The timeless nature of his wisdom can be seen in the questions and answers we've gathered below.
Q. How do you handle a negative thought in a yogic, meditative way?
A. For any thought you want to eliminate, there are two ways of doing it. Either you manifest it, or you put it in your meditation. If it stays in your subconscious mind, it will become a block there. It will recur; it will haunt you. When you block something, the more you block it, the more powerful it will become. So it is basically very dangerous. But the haunting past can be burned away forever through meditation. When you are chanting and meditating and negative thoughts start coming, let the thoughts come, but also let your mantra go on. You will be relieved of that negative thought forever. It is the most positive way of doing it.
Q. Yogiji, when you are meditating and you're getting these desires coming up, what happens?
A. Two things can happen: one is, you'll stop meditating and get into the whole desire thing. The other thing that can happen, and for the best results, is that you will stick to your breath and stick to your mantra.
Q. So you focus on and are really conscious of the mantra and the breath?
A. Yes. The idea is to separate yourself from the mind. Let the mind have that pattern in your head, but you stick to the mantra.
Q. What about when people are so stressed mentally or physically, that they can't focus and calm themselves sufficiently to meditate?
A. Normally at that time sit with them and do the meditation. Even those who just hear it get cleaned.
Q. Which finger is best to run a mala on?
A. When you have a mala, for knowledge use it on the first finger; for patience on the second; for energy on the third; and for communication on the fourth. It is up to you what you want to do.
Q. What is the quickest way to incorporate in yourself an admirable quality you see in someone else?
A. In every subjection you will get to the object. If you do not subject yourself to something, you can never have the object. It is a simple law. You have to direct your energy to get it. If you like something, you have to work for it in order to have it. Nothing happens without meditation.
Q. If sometimes your energy is too high, how can you get out of this high force?
A. If your energy is out of balance, begin to meditate on your breath, and bring your breath down to one breath a minute.[1] Your whole life is controlled by your breath. Between you and your Creator, between creature and Creator, the link is the breath. The power of the breath makes you what you are.
Q. I've always heard that to improve a bad habit, you must replace it with a good one. Is this true?
A. No. First you must neutralize yourself.
Q. So then how do you establish the good habit?
A. Through meditation. First burn your bad habit pattern through meditation, and then you have to substitute it. Then you have the choice.
[1] Inhale for 20 seconds, hold for 20 seconds, exhale for 20 seconds.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
(it even doesn't work on S60 3rd edition).
it does, I did the port and it worked fine on my N73
All mobile orbiter are bluetooth only atm. Mobile orbiter is available for J2ME, for some Symbian S60v1,v2 and v3 (< the last with problems due to signatures).The web based orbiter is running over Wifi.
Hi Neil,Welcome to the LinuxMCE community! Theoretically you can run Java-based Orbiter on the E63. I don't think that the native S60 Orbiter will be ported to the OS 9.2 (it even doesn't work on S60 3rd edition). Regarding to other mobile platforms. As I know the iPhone Orbiter is almost ready (but I didn't see any example of its using) and Android Orbiter is in the development. Also there is an universal web Orbiter which can work on the wide range of devices.

Let's say I want to compare the vocabulary of the Greek Septuagint with that of the Greek New Testament. In one Search window (or tab in the workspace), I choose GNT-T as my search text, click the Search for Words radio button, type an asterisk to find every word, and click OK. In another Search window, I choose LXX1 as my search text, then type an asterisk (*), followed by the at (@) symbol, followed by a minus sign (-). I then choose HITS from the Enter Command submenu of the Search menu. Provided I only have two Search windows open, the HITS command will automatically link to my window containing the GNT-T. Otherwise, I'll have to select that window from a list.
If I haven't lost you yet, the search criteria in the window containing LXX1 should look like this: "*@- [HITS GNT-T]"
This search will find every word (*) in the LXX1 which (@) is not (-) contained in the GNT-T ([HITS GNT-T]). Pretty cool, huh? (Okay, so it's really pretty geeky! Work with me here!)
Now, to examine the words that were found, I click the Details button and view the Analysis Tab. This gives me an alphabetical listing of every word that was found. To see which words are used most frequently, I can choose "Set Analysis Display..." from the Display menu, and then choose "Count Down" from the Sort pop-up menu.
At this point, I notice that the vast majority of words which are unique to the LXX are proper names. To filter those out, I go back to my search, type another at symbol (@) and minus sign (-), and then choose "Noun" from the "Enter Grammatical Tag" submenu of the Search menu. In the dialog box, I choose "properName" from the Class pop-up menu and click OK. My search argument now looks like this:
"*@- [HITS GNT-T] @- [NOUN properName]"
Now, at this point, I'm not even sure Accordance will let me do a search containing two at (@) symbols, but if it works, this search should find:
every word (*) in the LXX1 which (@) is not (-) contained in the GNT-T ([HITS GNT-T) and which (@) is not (-) a proper noun ([NOUN properName]).
I cross my fingers and click OK, and lo and behold, it works! Well, at least I think it works. The search takes a long time on my G3 PowerBook, so while I wait, I check all the Mac rumor sites for any hint of an upcoming G5 PowerBook! ;-)
When the search is finished, I find that it has, in fact, worked the way I had hoped, and my Analysis now shows everything but the proper names.
I've still got a pretty long list, however (nearly 6000 words). So I'd like to filter my search further to find only those words which are used 50 or more times. To do this, I go back to my search, enter yet another at (@) symbol, and then choose "COUNT" from the "Enter Command" submenu of the Search menu. I type "50-6500", and my search now looks like this:
"*@- [HITS GNT-T] @- [NOUN properName] @ [COUNT 50-6500]"
I click OK, and while waiting for the search to finish, I start Googling for "Big Foot", which is apparently easier to locate than the fabled G5 PowerBook for which I long! ;-)
In addition to inflaming my desire for a faster computer, this search ultimately does what it's supposed to do, and my Analysis now lists every word in the Septuagint which does not appear in the Greek New Testament, which is not a proper noun, and which is used 50 or more times. Whew!
Okay, so if you're not interested in comparing New Testament and Septuagint Greek, what can you take away from this little odyssey of mine? Here are a few tips:
- Use the Hits command in conjunction with the at symbol and minus sign to compare vocabulary between different texts or parts of a text. You might compare the vocabulary of the New King James with that of the KJV, or compare the Aramaic of the Bible with the Aramaic of the Targums. Or you might compare 1 Peter with 2 Peter, or the Pastoral Epistles with the wider Pauline corpus. There's all kinds of possibilities here.
- Use the at (@) symbol to search for words which meet multiple criteria. Think of the at symbol as joining words with tags, key numbers, word counts (a l� COUNT command), and hit lists (a l� HITS command). And get in the habit of reading the at (@) symbol as meaning "which." For me, at least, this helps to reinforce what the at symbol is doing.
- Use the Details button to get an overview of what was found by a search. The big picture perspective which the Analysis, Plot, Table, and Concordance provide can help you zero in on ways your search might need to be refined.
- Get in the habit of building your searches incrementally. Try something, examine the results, and repeatedly refine your search until you get the results you are looking for.

This is a movement to enhance the basketball community. Our culture is one of community and selflessness that will spread across the basketball world and create not just successful athletes, but successful people. We are and need to represent that we are hip and cutting edge because this type of movement is usually not the cool thing.
**We want to shift that particular paradigm in our community and teach kids, parents and coaches that it is cool to live with principles and values and become a positive contribution to this world instead of the ego based mind of celebrity and athletes.
Help our movement with the LOGO that will grace t-shirts, banners, advertisements etc.!!!
We are targeting an existing market yet a more specific niche of basketball players, coaches and parents, but we are here to help them with the mental side of their game and their lives.
This target thinks about life in a different way. They are not just the "jocks". They are a different level of thinkers. They are parents and coaches who want more for their kids and players. They are players who want more for their lives.
Think "Obey" or "RVCA" style. These are similar movements that stand for something and we want to fall in similar line. This is going to be a grass roots movement and our logo needs to say that we are not letting anything get in our way. It cannot be a passive logo! BE BOLD and STRONG
BE CREATIVE! Let me see your vision for this cause/movement! We are definietly looking for a graphic based design as opposed to just our brand name as the focal point. I love creative freedom and that is what I would like to give you.
Dont let this freedom keep your from submitting! We are ready to be interactive in this contest and cant wait to see what you come up with!
I only ask 2 things. Do not make the design specific to any 1 denomination and please know we are not looking for a cheesy design that is usually associated with church etc. HELP US TO LOOK GOOD!

President Barack Obama will take a break from the United Nations General Assembly meeting Tuesday to host a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
The president has made the renewal of peace talks between the nations one of the major goals of his presidency, despite the resistance U.S. efforts are encountering in the region.
The three-way meeting will take place immediately after Obama meets separately with each of the two leaders, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Saturday. The possibility of a three-way meeting had been in doubt until Saturday because Special Envoy George Mitchell failed to bridge wide gaps between Israelis and Palestinians.
U.S. & World
The key disputes are over Israeli settlement expansion and whether peace talks should begin where they left off under Netanyahu's predecessors.

I used to love this guy's acting but now?
Denzel Washington associates atheists with sociopaths
Continue reading on Examiner.com Denzel Washington associates atheists with sociopaths - National at... http://www.examiner.com/atheism-in-national/denzel-washington-assoc...
Academy Award winning Actor Denzel Washington has a new film out. While out promoting his film "Safe House," Washington made some pretty appalling associations linking atheists to sociopaths and murderers among others.
In the interview, Washington was asked about his character, Tobin Frost. You can watch the interview in the sidebar but here is the relevant part of his answer (0:13 mark):
"There's a book I read called, 'The Sociopath Next Door,' and… a, it really became sort of the Bible for me in developing this character. I think he is a sociopath. I think he doesn't have a conscience. I think he is an atheist and a murderer and a liar."
Imagine the outrage if he had said Jew, Christian, or Muslim instead of atheist in his response. Why is it acceptable for such an acclaimed actor to falsely associate an entire group of people in this way? Why didn't the interviewer follow up on that?
According to the American Religious Identification Survey, those who have no religious preference make up 15% of the population in the United States and atheism is on the rise in every state. The atheist population in America may soon rival the population of Jews. There are certainly more atheists than there are Muslims in America and yet if Washington associated either of those groups with being sociopaths, murderers, liars, and people who have no conscience he would be viewed on par with Mel Gibson.
Most atheists in America today associate themselves with Humanism, rationalism, science, and reason. Atheists tend to me more educated, are less likely to support torture, and have a long history in this nation of pushing for civil rights. Denzel Washington's statement isn't just hateful, it is also far from accurate.
What do you think about Denzel Washington's statement? Does it make you any less likely to see his films?

I've read the book he's referring to, Stout's "The Sociopath Next Door", and while my memory of it isn't perfect, I don't recall any mention of atheism being a sociopathic trait or precursor. Actually, I don't remember the word atheist or atheism being used at all.
Just did a search (using Amazon's "search within this book" link), I was wrong, she mentions the word "atheist" once, but not in any reference to sociopathy or sociopaths.
I always look for supporting evidence before I come to a conclusion. I like Denzel Washington in most of his movies. The movie "The Book of Eli" was a postapocalyptic, religious themed move, which I liked at first until the theme became more clear. Washington is reported as being very religious, reading his bible daily, and giving millions in contributions to a church. So this would not be a big surprise. I don't think I have to agree with an actors views to enjoy their craft, although sometimes it matters. I can't stand Mel Gibson, for example, and used to love 'The Road Warrier". Now I can't watch anything connected to Gibson. I'm also headed that way on the avidly scientologist actors. Many actors have erratic personal lives, and some express have beliefs I disagree with. I'll have to think about Washington. That statement is, at the very least, ignorant and hateful.
Same here. I can't bring myself to even watch The Simpsons now that I know Nancy Cartwright is a devoted Scientologist (and by "devoted" I mean she's given $10 million to the "church"). I lose all respect for anyone who engages in a religion founded on the writings of a failed science-fiction writer and that begins with a personality test designed to find something wrong with you.
But as for Washington, my parents are huge fans of his since he is so religious, so I've always known about his views. It's just weird being on the other side, as before I agreed with him. Now he thinks I'm a sociopath. Oh well. We have Sir Ian McKellen, Brad Pitt, Paul Giamatti, Jodie Foster, George Clooney and Emma Thompson. There's not a film of theirs I haven't liked.
He isn't very intelligent. I saw him on a talk show one night and he was dull as a post. Most celebrities are stupid.
That's so sad that he is clueless. He seems intelligent in the movies he is in -- guess that's the acting.
well said
I disagree. While he may not be MENSA material, Washington has always seemed to me well-studied, literate and well-spoken. This seems like another instance of intelligent people willfully blinding themselves with religion. I rather feel as if this issue has been blown out of proportion. Indeed, it's worrying that he has at least twice inserted atheism while referencing Martha Stout's book, which doesn't mention atheism at all. But this wasn't Denzel badmouthing atheists or calling them sociopaths outright, which is what the media has been doing...
I wonder whether Denzel have any imagination at all in the first place.
The bigger problem is that Denzel seems to not understand what a true sociopath is. His religious beliefs don't allow him to see what atheism is.
Gaaaah! Please don't make me choose a no-Denzel lifestyle! I was more than willing to give up Tom after his sofa jumping exploits, and Mel has gone from being swarthy and sexy to creepy and icky so no qualms there in not watching his poor-ass acting. But please. Denzel? He's a good actor, has aged well, and is oh-so-yummy. I'm gonna catch such hell for this, but oy. I can't give him up. So he's dumb as a post, and ignorant, and arrogant. But it means not watching Inside Man which is one of my favorite movies.
Nope. Not gonna.

"The Closer's" getting some additional closure before wrapping for good, but the door for more crime-solving is still open a crack for some of its stars.
For fans of the Kyra Sedgwick-starring series, there's the good news and then there's possibly even better news: TNT's ordered additional six episodes of the series to close out its seventh and final season, and there may be a spinoff (tentatively titled "Major Crimes") featuring some of the show's characters to follow.
"We're going to do a couple of more episodes for this season," Sedgwick tells PopcornBiz. "We just felt that we needed a couple more episodes to wrap it all up."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
While the actress, who won a Golden Globe in 2007 and an Emmy in 2010 for her performance as investigator Brenda Leigh Johnson, will be exiting the series as viewers know it now, she's hoping that some of her castmates will continue on in the spinoff. "Very much so," she said.
Sedgwick's TV hubby Jon Tenney tells PopcornBiz he doesn't yet know exactly what the creators have in mind for the possible spinoff. "We're going to be doing an additional six episodes and I think that'll segue into something," says Tenney. "What that is, we're not sure."
Tenney didn't know what to make of the notion that his character Fritz could somehow continue on without Brenda Leigh at his side. "I certainly love everyone that I'm working with and it would be lovely to continue working with them," he says, "but that's the thing about being an actor: everything at the end of the day is a la carte. That's how it is."

Who's inspiring whom? The advent of the internet has brought the world to our fingertips like never before. Images that we've never had access to, or could only see on TV or read in the news, are now in cyberspace. All awaiting our discovery… that is if you know where to look.
Having the world so much closer, and on our screens, also means that we can see how more similar we all are. How we see our own immediate environments and how that inspires us. Including how businesses and organizations communicate their message through their identity.
That probably explains the striking resemblance between the logo and corporate identity design of the above diverse companies, from different countries and industries.
AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), Sunnyvale, CA; BYTES.
Logos are, after all the primary visual identity that the outside world sees. The internet has enabled us to see the similarities in corporate identity and logos from distant shores, representing organizations that are vastly different and yet have somehow been inspired by the same idea.
And although two logos may be close to identical, the message they emit is not the same. For its the meaning that customers attach according to their individual taste and culture that gives them the value.
In other words, a logo is a sign or symbol that carries a meaning, because in the end: "People value more what things mean than what things are!"

The concept was to create a simple, modern space in which we could show off the cards as miniature artworks. And it seemed to work … We had a terrific reception to all the fresh vibrant colors – especially the wall of bright cards – and we signed up nearly 20 new stores! We couldn't be more thrilled about all the wonderful shops that will soon be carrying our collection.

I'm trying to figure out the smallest possible test case for writing an OLEDB provider that can interface with Crystal Reports (via the VB Crystal Reports template, for instance).
My starting point is the default implementation that the OLEDB Provider wizard gets. And I basically understand which part needs to be modified to get it to do something interesting, other than the default implementation of do a directory listing. I tested this default implementation against a VBS script that uses ADO/Recordsets. Works OK.
Now, when I use Visual Studio to create a VB project, and I add a Crystal Reports control. It creates the connection object, but it wants me to specify a table (in the VB GUI), and it can't find any tables--so it's basically stuck there. My assumtion is that I need to implement some optional OLEDB interface, but I don't know which one. If someone knows what Crystal Reports requires that would be awesome. I'm not holding by breath. So:
I read on some MS newsgroup, someone said something along the lines of "You need to find out which queryinterface calls Crystal Reports is making against your component, so you can implement those interfaces". This was said to someone who had a similar problem as what I am seeing. Anyway this advice makes sense to me, but I don't know how to accomplish the task. I would for instance hack the provider to log QI calls into a log file, but for some reason I think there's an easier, maybe a standard way to do this. ?
And finally, maybe someone just knows of a good reference on the web, or even a book that I can buy, related to implementing OLEDB Providers, which might help out.
Thanks for any info.

After a period of four months in public beta, the cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) from Pagoda Box has officially exited its beta stage. The developers behind this project chose the ZendCon PHP conference in Santa Clara to announce this newly upgraded multi-node, multi-tenant, scalable infrastructure.
According to community ambassador Scott Anderson, "We aimed to put developers at the center of the online universe. Our new infrastructure and dashboard delivers the hosting workflow that does just that." Anderson also states that there are now two versions of Pagoda Box running concurrently, i.e. pagodabox.com and newpagodabox.com as two separate offerings.
Somewhat unusually, the Pagoda Box platform has been built with no external funding. "We felt we couldn't compromise the infrastructure to meet business objectives," said Anderson. "We just wanted to provide the best tools for developers."
Pagoda Box works by automating the creation of a scalable cloud environment, fronted by a highly concurrent Erlang routing layer. This infrastructure is core to Pagoda Box's advantages. Instant scalability across components like web, caching, writable storage, and databases, plus deep component analytics and granular pricing, are derived from the underlying architecture. Everything is packaged through command-line client and intuitive dashboard controls.
Pagoda Box sets out to provide scalable, redundant PHP cloud hosting. Features include web application, multiple database support, SSL, storage, logs, and analytics. These services are ordered, controlled, and managed through both a command-line client, and a web dashboard. Pagoda Box also consolidates all of a site's component controls. They provide built-in, real-time analytics to monitor and control app components from a single page, rather than relying on third-party service providers.
