{{ event.description }}
Veracruz is a large city in the state of Veracruz in Central Mexico. The locals call their city "Puerto" (port) to differentiate the city from the state of Veracruz. The Port of Veracruz remains the core of its economy. It is also famous for its nightlife, and its spacious downtown area near the harbor (zocalo) comes alive with music and dancing with a strong Cuban influence. Highlights are the annual carnival celebrations around February when the party atmosphere is particularly raucous and hotel rooms become difficult to find.
Veracruz has a rich history. It has been the main gate of the country for sea travelers and products since its foundation. In this region, the Spanish first entered Mexico in the 16th century and remained for three centuries, forever changing the region. About 20 km northwest from Puerto Veracruz, in a town known as La Antingua Veracruz, Hernán Cortés first landed in Mexico. Veracruz would be one of the main ports of the Spanish Treasure Fleets. From its harbor, Mexican silver and the Asian silks, porcelain and spices of the Acapulco-Manila galleon trade were loaded onto galleons for transport to Spain. San Juan de Ulua fortress, located on an island off the city's coast, was built in the 16th century to guard against pirate attacks. It was the scene of the final stand of Spanish colonialism in the New Spain, being occupied by Spanish soldiers for four years after Mexico's War of Independence. Veracruz has witnessed four foreign invasions, earning the city the title 'Cuatro Veces Heroica' "Four times Heroic". Two of these attacks led to full-scale invasions of Mexico which retraced the route of Cortés, by the U.S. in 1847 and France in 1862.
Despite its status as the oldest European settlement on the American mainland, much of the colonial city was destroyed by invasions. The city walls were demolished during the era of Porfirio Diaz. However, there is some significant historic architecture, including two historic fortresses, several museums, and historical buildings in the Malecon.
A few beaches can be found north of Veracruz, but the beaches and water are not very clean; beach lovers might want to go north to Tecolutla or south to Los Tuxtlas.
The local language is Spanish. More than half (but not all) of the hospitality workers speak English. Local people are known as jarochos. This denomination is not only for the people of the city but for the whole region of the State of Veracruz, known as "Llanuras de Sotavento." The jarochos are friendly people who love to be outdoors. The weather is mild, averaging between 25 and 32°C, but between January and March high winds from the north known as "nortes" can reach up to 120 km/h.
Veracruz has a small international airport, 1 General Heriberto Jara International Airport. The only direct US flights are from Houston, Texas. There are many options from other Mexican cities, including Mexico City. The airport is about 10 km west of downtown.
The ADO bus station is located a short distance from the city centre. The bus trip from Mexico City TAPO terminal (located next to the San Lazaro metro station) takes 5 1/2 hours. The bus trip from Puebla takes 3-4 hours.
Veracruz used to be a major railway hub, but passenger services were cancelled in 1995. However the historic railway station, 3 Estacion Ferrocarril de Veracruz offers the occasional tourist excursion and is an minor tourist sight in itself.
Arriving at the bus station, one can buy a voucher for a taxi. The station is located on Salvador Diaz Miron Street. The bus station is located only about 10 blocks (1 km) from one of the main tourist attractions of the city, Villa del Mar. It is about a 40-minute walk from the Zocalo.
Taxis are very inexpensive. A journey costs between US$2.50 and 5.00 according to the your zone destination. Passengers are advised to agree to the cost before entering a taxi.
The cheaper way to know the city is walking in the downtown and after that walk to the Malecon where several boats, historical buildings as well as tourist facilities and stores are located.
One very interesting possibility is to take the Bus "Boca del Rio", its path almost goes across the Boulevard of the City to the downtown of "Boca del Rio", a city joined in fact with Veracruz that has the better hotels, modern building and beaches of the Region. Almost the other public buses are not recommended for tourists, because they are old, in bad conditions and often very crowded and its paths are not easy understandable for new people in the city.
Veracruz uses brightly painted US school buses for city buses. Fares are M$7.50 (pesos).
Meals depend on where you eat, you can eat great sea food in Boca del Rio and Mandinga and Alvarado (but for this last one you have to travel about 45 minutes). Look for the palapas (huts) and you can have a great meal for little money.
Jarocho cuisine is unique among Mexico's regional cuisines in its pronounced Spanish and Afro-Caribbean influences. The long coastlines make Veracruz a seafood paradise. Seafood dishes include octopus and red snapper (huachinango) prepared a la veracruzana (a tomato-olive based sauce), arroz a la tumbada (tumbled rice) and caldo de mariscos. Baked plantains are a ubiquitous side. Other foods of Afro-Caribbean origin are pollo encacahuatado (chicken in peanut sauce) and mondogo (tripe soup). Veracruz is famous for its café con leche. Visit the city's famous coffee houses, El Gran Cafe de la Parroquia and El Gran Cafe del Portal.
In Veracruz, as in most Mexican cities, you won't notice much difference in taste between tacos from a fancy restaurant on the plaza and tacos from a street cart, it all more or less tastes fantastic. If you're on a budget, it's best to stay away from restaurants on the plaza, where you'll pay a premium for location. Street carts are definitely the cheapest option, but if you like to sit down and eat, a good compromise that's still dirt-cheap is any of lunch counters at the Mercado Hidalgo.
Night clubs are the most expensive places. They will ask you to buy a bottle (whiskey, rum, vodka, whatever) in order to give you a table to seat. If you don't mind standing you can drink single drinks around US$13 for a Cosmopolitan, for example. Men have to pay at the entrance US$5-10, women enter for free.
Although Veracruz was once a safe haven from drug related crime prevalent in Northern Mexico, as of 2011 violence is steadily increasing.
The picturesque lakeside town of Catemaco lies nearby. The bus takes around 4 hours and you'll find some nice beaches, water activities and more.

Burnley bring in Boro forward Jutkiewicz
Burnley have bolstered their attacking options ahead of a Premier League return with the signing of Lukas Jutkiewicz from Middlesbrough.
The 25-year-old forward, who has already represented eight clubs during his professional career, arrives at Turf Moor for an undisclosed fee and has signed a three-year deal.
Jutkiewicz was loaned out to Bolton Wanderers for the second half of last season and went on to score seven goals in 20 Championship appearances.
His capture follows Burnley's recent signing of Marvin Sordell and provides additional competition for Danny Ings, Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche said: "I still think there is development in Lukas; he's 25 and has been around a little bit now and he finished last season very strongly.
"I feel there is even more to come and he'll be hungry for that. He'll be working with a good group who are all hungry to not only achieve things but to keep pushing themselves as individuals.
"He's a physical presence who can hold the ball up very well and link play. We think there is goals in him and it is very similar to the Sam Vokes story where he's always done well and we're looking for him to build on what he's done.
"There is a nice demand now in that area of the pitch as all the players offer something different to the team so we're happy with how that is developing."
Burnley, who finished as runners-up to Leicester City in the Championship last term, begin life back in the Premier League with a glamour home game against Chelsea on August 18.

A meteor streaked across the sky above the Russian town of Yekaterinburg on Friday, creating a shockwave that blew out windows before slamming into the nearby Ural mountains.
It's not the first meteor to fly across our skies, and it certainly won't be the last. But what makes this one unusual is that its unexpected appearance was caught on numerous cameras attached to the dashboards of motorists' vehicles.
The fact that it was caught on camera is actually not that surprising. That's because dashboard cameras – dash cams – have become ubiquitous in Russia. They've even given rise to a whole new genre of clips on YouTube - the Russian dash cam video. Mostly filmed from cars travelling through congested cities or bleak, snowy highways, these generally a selection of show grizzly head-on collisions, breathtaking displays of bad driving, violent roadside confrontations, and deliberate accidents staged by gangsters looking for an easy insurance pay-out.
Why are there so many dash cams in Russia? Russia has one of the highest car-accident rates in the world. According to Interior Ministry figures there were 200,000 traffic accidents resulting in 28,000 deaths in Russia in 2011 – Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev once blamed this on the "undisciplined, criminally careless behaviour of our drivers," as well as "terrible" road conditions. The upshot of this is that motor insurance is expensive, and many policies don't cover damage to the driver's own vehicle. So a dash cam can provide valuable video evidence, and a driver with such evidence is far more likely to be believed by an insurance company or the courts than one who hasn't.
With many thousands of dash cams on the roads of Russia, it's therefore not surprising that from time to time they capture something truly remarkable. The low flying meteor over Yekaterinburg is the latest example, but here are some of the most extraordinary events captured on dash cams: [Caution: Some of these YouTube videos may contain coarse language in Russian or inappropriate comments. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external websites.]
1) Lightning strike
The driver of this vehicle has a lucky escape as their car appears to take a direct hit from a lightning bolt.
2) Tanks crossing
In Russia you have to be ready for anything. In this clip a military tank burst on to a busy road at high speed and disappears off the other side.
3) Air crash
Extraordinary footage showing a jet aircraft crashing in to the side of a motorway.
4) Power plant explosion
This clip appears to show an explosion in an industrial complex, halting traffic and blacking out the lights in the area.
5) White van man
A man in shorts falls out of a van before nonchalantly waving at the dash cam and walking off.
6) High-speed collision
The driver of a truck lands on his feet after being thrown from the cab.
7) Low-flying plane
A low flying Russian military jets hurtles up a road, terrifyingly close to oncoming traffic.
8) Baby on the road
A dash cam captured the moment this baby toppled from its pushchair onto the road, un-noticed by its parent.
9) Lucky man at petrol station
A guy caught between two crashing vehicles has a very narrow escape.
10) Car flipped by tram wire
Driver is caught unaware at an intersection by a downed tram wire. Strangely, the music being played almost fits the action.

This is a user contributed article.
MySQL server has no support for preventing disk from getting filled up. You need to depend upon external configurations. Let us see how to use standard Linux disk quota to limit user database size.
Suppose you have a user foo on the system as well as on MySQL. Now how do you limit space for foo?
Step #1: Create a separate directory for databases in foo's home say /home/foo/dbs with ownership mysql:foo and permissions 3755:
# mkdir /home/foo/dbs && chown mysql:foo /home/foo/dbs && chmod 3755 /home/foo/dbs
Step #2: Now move all foo's databases from /var/lib/mysql to /home/foo/dbs
# mkdir /root/backup
# cp -avr /var/lib/mysql/* root/backup
# mv /var/lib/mysql/database-name /home/foo/dbs/
# chown -Rf mysql:foo /home/foo
# chmod -Rf 3755 /home/foo
# ln -s /var/lib/mysql/database-name /home/foo/dbs/database-name -v
Finally, restart mysqld. If mysqld starts with OK status, then its working else it isn't:
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
NOTE- I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OCCURRED & TO TEST THIS TRY RESTARTING mysqld. Always backup database before trying something new.
Other tools
- MySQL Quota-Tool : The MySQL Quota-Tool helps you to set a size limit on MySQL databases. It works by checking the size of each database and revoking the INSERT- and CREATE-priveleges for the databases, which exceed the given size limit. When the size of the database falls below the given limit, the INSERT- and CREATE-priveleges are granted again.
- MySQL Quota Daemon : MySQL Quota Daemon is a lightweight tool for limiting database sizes.
- Developing a MySQL Quota Daemon : One of the drawbacks of MySQL is the lack of a real quota system. This article will cover how our ISP was able to solve this problem and keep track of our customers' databases. With this completely automated solution, many hours of administration work was avoided.

Former Colorado State star Becky Hammon was hired as an assistant to coach Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, the team announced Tuesday.
Hammon, 37, is playing with the San Antonio Stars in the WNBA. She announced July 23 that she will retire at the end of the season.
"They've been observing me obviously for a while as a basketball player and as a person," said Hammon, who assisted the Spurs during an injury rehabilitation period last season. "Pop said, 'I'm hiring you because you're a good fit here and you just happen to be a woman.' I just think that sums this up great."
She will be the second woman to coach in the NBA. Lisa Boyer, associate head women's basketball coach at South Carolina, was an unpaid assistant for the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2001-02 season.
"In some ways it is trailblazing, but there have been so many other women doing great things and I'm just following in their path," Hammon said.
The six-time WNBA all-star was named one of the league's all-time top-15 players in 2011. She ranks seventh in career points (5,809), fourth in assists (1,687), second in 3-pointers made (824) and sixth in games played (445) over 16 years with the Stars and New York Liberty.
She suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in July 2013, something she called a "blessing in disguise" because it gave her a chance to work with the Spurs coaching staff during that rehab.
"It's my body telling me that it's time," she said. "This opportunity happens to coincide, so it's a pretty magical thing that I'm walking out of a playing career into a coaching opportunity."
In a statement released Tuesday, Popovich said: "I very much look forward to the addition of Becky Hammon to our staff. Having observed her working with our team this past season, I'm confident her basketball IQ, work ethic and interpersonal skills will be a great benefit to the Spurs."
Hammon played at CSU from 1995-99, scoring more points in her career than any Rams player, with 2,740. She was a two-time All-American and three-time Western Athletic Conference player of the year. She also won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award for the best player in the nation under the height of 5-foot-8 in 1999.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Dignified restraint: In Scottsville, everything in moderation
ADDRESS: 2230 Secretary's Road
NEIGHBORHOOD: Scottsville
ASSESSMENT: $240,000 land/new construction
SIZE: 1,800 fin. sq. ft.
LAND: 2.0 acres
CURB APPEAL: 7.75 out of 10
LISTED BY: Harrison Grubbs, Summit Realty Company, 434-817-4040
Q: When is a house like a president?
A: When it acts like Calvin Coolidge, who one Sunday after church, when his wife asked what the preacher had preached on, replied "sin," and, asked what the preacher had said, replied, "He was against it."
Just as "Silent Cal" avoided unnecessary words, this week's house has no unnecessary space. Hallways and bathrooms are condensed to make the kitchen and living room bigger. Downstairs, what could have been just a hallway connecting kitchen and bedroom has become a small bathroom. Upstairs, a hallway barely 12 feet long serves two bedrooms, a bathroom, a linen closet, and the stairs to the first floor.
Beyond saving space, the house also tries to save energy. The tile floor on the ground level has underlying radiant heat, and the southern exposure uses passive solar heat to reduce energy bills. Wooden Pella Energystar windows and the home's thicker-than-usual frame— made with 2"x 6" boards— make for better insulation, and the gas-powered, tankless water heater ("hot water on demand") uses less energy than a traditional model.
Most of these details aren't immediately visible. Instead, visitors first see the kitchen to the right behind a half wall and a bright open space to the left lighted by five windows spaced across two walls. The house has no foyer and no closet near the front door, but buyers may be able to get creative with an umbrella stand and some coathooks.
The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances and cabinets with a variety of storage options, including some with glass fronts for display, and some with shelves on sliding tracks for easy access. Both the stove and the water heater use gas heat provided by a buried 500-gallon propane tank.
The heated tile floor spanning the kitchen, front room, and rear living room comes to a stop at the downstairs bedroom, which instead features bamboo floors. The bedroom also has two closets, and access to the storage space under the stairs with well equipment and its pressure tank. While the downstairs bedroom isn't especially large, it could be used as a master suite thanks to the adjoining bathroom.
The downstairs bathroom, connecting the bedroom to the kitchen, makes the most of a small space with a shower stall instead of a full tub and is spiced up by a small built-in seat across one corner. The bathroom also has a frosted glass window— possibly to keep it from feeling too cozy— in an interior wall of the house that still manages to synch up with natural light entering through a window in the side door.
The upstairs bathroom is larger and brighter, with a full Jacuzzi tub and accompanying shower surrounded by handsome tile work in an enclosed grotto illuminated with natural light from a row of glass bricks. Neither bathroom has a linen closet, but they both have storage areas under the sinks.
The two bedrooms upstairs feature more of the environmentally friendly bamboo floors, and have been boxed and pre-wired for ceiling fans if the new owners feel like replacing existing light fixtures. Although the front bedroom has a better view from its row of windows, the back bedroom has more innovative storage space: rails along three walls of the closet can be used for hanging clothes and an extra cabinet for storage in space that juts out over the stairs.
Even though it's in move-in condition right now, the house also has room for expansion. The seller is open to discussing the addition of a deck or patio off the rear entrance. Buyers who want to take things to the next level on their own could also add a fireplace to the downstairs living room, or build a garage next to the house with an overhead room connecting to the upstairs hallway.
The house sits on a two-acre plot that's a mixture of trees and lawn, in an area of Scottsville that's mostly quiet farms. If it weren't for the muddy color of the painted Hardieplank exterior, it would have earned a higher curb appeal.
And that's all we have to say about it.
Each week, a brave local seller invites the Hook to provide an impartial, warts-and-all look at their real estate listing. E-mail yours today!

Steve Charles' self-deprecating humor and skills of observation were on full display during his Thursday morning Chapel Talk. The Wabash Magazine Editor titled his remarks: "Show up: A Sociophobe's Guide to Surviving Wabash."
He talked about his fears of giving such a talk and reluctance in nearly all situations to speak publicly. But even through that Charles poked fun at himself, weaved in a few anecdotes – including fashion advice from Steve Webb and Bill Cook – and explained his love of Wabash College.
"For me, this is holy ground," he said. "What makes this space sacred to me is not the institution, but the people who have spoken here."
He talked about the Chapel Talks of Professor of Religion Hall Peebles and College Dean Paul McKinney. He noted how Professor Marc Hudson, from the same podium, provided one of the great descriptions of Wabash: "What is Wabash but friendship and story? The history of a hunger to know."
Charles added the Monon Bell Chapel Talk of Wes Chamblee, injured and out for the 2010 Bell game, as another highlight. Chamblee's talk focused on the blessings and hardships of his Grandfather. Charles also shared memories of his friend and co-worker Susan Cantrell, his close personal friend Mike Bachner, and reflected on many of the great talks of Bill Placher.
Charles then turned his attention to the focus of his talk: 'Show up, pay attention, tell the truth, and don't anticipate the outcome.'
He focused on 'show up.' He shared his pain and sometimes embarrassment of being shy or a sociophobe and how a camera and opportunity to tell great stories has been his cure for the past 16 years. He talked about important times in his life when he could and could not 'show up' for family and friends, and those he admired who always managed to 'show up.'
He urged the young men to show up – "never knowing where it may take you, standing where those you've most admired have stood, but doing something you'd never before imagined you could."
"Thank you all for showing up."

Choreography by: Peter Martins
Music by: Duke Ellington
A brief but charming work to Duke Ellington's melodies, Sophisticated Lady presents a leading ballerina in a Valentino ball gown and heeled shoes being wooed by a group of men before her leading man emerges.
Peter Martins created Sophisticated Lady as a pièce d'occasion for the opening night of NYCB's American Music Festival in 1988. Set to Duke Ellington's 1932 jazz standard of the same name, the ballet features a leading lady being wooed by a chorus of men before her partner finally appears. Created for Suzanne Farrell, the surprise leading man at the premiere performance was Martins himself, which also marked his return to the stage after retiring from dancing in 1983. In fall 2012, the ballet was re-costumed by the legendary fashion designer Valentino, as part of s special NYCB gala evening in honor of the acclaimed couturier and his work.

A week of rumors have apparently come to fruition this weekend, as CBS Sports reports that University of Maryland basketball assistant coach Scott Spinelli has accepted an offer to join new coach Jim Christian's staff at Boston College.
The move was expected throughout the week.
Spinelli has been part of Turgeon's staff in all three years since his arrival in College Park-the Massachusetts native had previously worked under Turgeon at Texas A&M and Wichita State.
The Washington Post reported Spinelli received a "pretty solid raise" to join the Eagles' staff. Additionally, Spinelli and Christian are both former Boston University basketball players and the former Maryland assistant has heavily recruited the New England area, including bringing Wrentham native Jake Layman to College Park.
This is the second assistant coach Turgeon has lost in the past year, Dalonte Hill resigned from the school following a third DUI arrest last fall. Only Bino Ranson remains from the original staff Maryland's top man put together-Ranson was a holdover from Gary Williams' last staff.
Dustin Clark was promoted from Director of Basketball Operations to an assistant coach after Hill's resignation. Maryland great Juan Dixon was added to the staff as an assistant to Turgeon as well.

Padded Tote Bag
You've already purchased one of the lightest and most compact work stands on the market, why not keep it safe it with a tote bag designed to protect and carry it? The Feedback Sports Tote Bag Ultralight has been specially designed to fit the super-compact Pro-Ultralight Work Stand.
Fully padded and made from lightweight, durable 1000 denier polyester, the Feedback Sports Tote Bag Ultralight features a full zipper and carrying straps that make transporting your work stand from Point A to Point B a breeze. The Tote Bag Ultralight also keeps your work stand free from wear and tear, safe-guarding your investment through several seasons of travel and use. Think of it, too, as protection for your bike frame or anything else that you've got stashed in the back of the car or van. While Feedback Sports work stands are nicely finished, they are still made of aluminum, and anything clanking together, mile after mile, could possibly damage finishes on either offender.
The Feedback Sports Tote Bag Ultralight comes in black and fits the Feedback Sports Pro-Ultralight Work Stand.

What do you think about this product?

- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Bag with handle for your bike stand—nuff said. However, I have a non-feedback bike stand (an old performance spin doctor g3) that works great and I can't justify replacing. After my family got into racing again, I decided I could justify $30 for a bag to make hauling the stand and tool roll back and forth from the trail a bit easier. Of the three bags, one is a perfect fit. Soft sided and lightly padded—and for me, being bagged, prevents the small parts container built into my work stand from catching on something and dumping contents (spoke nipples etc.,) everywhere during transit. And being a little lazy, I don't clamp down the workstand cams when the stand is folded---when carrying armfuls of gear, before being bagged, sometimes the stand would start to 'unfold' in transit. The bag prevents that too. You don't really need a stand bag but you'll likely be pleased to have one.

IBM is replacing Danone's existing network to increase the flexibility and responsiveness of its business-to-business (B2B) commercial interactions to improve its overall customer experience.
Part of IBM's unfolding Smarter Commerce portfolio, IBM's Sterling Collaboration Network, is being rolled out across Danone's global business units, each including multiple sales and distribution points and factories. The large-scale deployment involves the onboarding of up to 600 trading partners to the IBM network and management of nine million messages a year.
The project supports the full spectrum of Danone's order-to-cash processes, including ordering, invoicing, delivery and logistics. The solution provides traditional electronic data interchange (EDI) across a diverse range of formats required by Danone's partners, allowing third party data to be integrated with Danone's warehouse data.
IBM's solution was selected by Danone to improve flexibility in its ability to respond to the individual needs of its customers, which include large retailers. By delivering real-time visibility and control over the business processes shared with its community of customers and partners, IBM's Sterling Collaboration Network brings Danone accuracy and speed in responding to customer demands, largely enhancing the customer experience.
"IBM's Sterling team was quick to react to our requests for increased flexibility in meeting trading partners' needs," said Hans Vollebregt EDI solutions at Danone Information Systems. "The company also has a proven track record in Europe in providing B2B integration as-a-Service. And the team's willingness and ability to meet our needs is what made all the difference in our choice of a B2B partner."
Danone also looked to gain greater reliability and availability from its B2B network provider to lower costs. The increased B2B network reliability ensures that Danone does not suffer any downtime in its B2B operations, while enhanced visibility improves performance and control over operations. Coupled with the ability to onboard new Danone business units and trading partners quickly, these improvements drive down costs for Danone.
"Success in the fast-moving consumer goods sector depends entirely on the ability to communicate immediately and effectively with different partners across the supply chain to gain control over processes and inventory," said Ronald Teijken, IBM EMEA manufacturing industry executive. "With its large trading partner network, Danone will reap the benefits of providing an optimized trading network with streamlined business processes."

Wolf Hunt Area 6 Is Closed , Mortality Quota Reached
Hunters are alerted that Gray Wolf Hunt Area 6, the Jackson Management Unit in the Jackson area closed Oct. 20 at 2:30 pm. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department says the area closed because the mortality quota of three wolves was reached. Wolf seasons close in hunt areas where the species is classified as a trophy game animal when the mortality quota is reached or when the season closes on Dec. 31, whichever comes first.
Wolf hunters are reminded to pick up a copy of the 2012 Gray Wolf Hunting Regulations and call the Gray Wolf Mortality Quota Hotline (800) 264-1280 before going hunting to determine which hunt areas are still open. Information on hunt area closures and quotas is updated daily.
Any wolf harvested in the Wolf Trophy Game Management Area or the Seasonal Wolf Trophy Game Management Area (from Oct. 15 through Feb. 28) must be reported by calling the above hotline within 24 hours and the pelt and skull must be presented by the licensee within five days to a game warden, wildlife biologist or Game and Fish regional office for registration.

LOUISVILLE – Chevron says its latest engine oil can save up to 3% in fuel economy in Class 6 trucks compared to SAE 15W-40 oils.
Delo 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 is formulated for use in modern on-highway, low-emissions engines as well as older diesel engines.
The new oil shows up to 3.6% fuel economy improvement in short-haul, Class 6 vehicles and up to 1% improvement in long-haul, Class 8 trucks compared to SAE 15W-40 oil in SAE J1321 Fuel Consumption Tests.
Chevron announced the new oil during the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., where promotional materials asked show-goers, "What would you do with $900?" The number is the amount a truck owner could save using the oil vs. a 15W-40 in a Clas 8 truck traveling 130,000 miles a year averaging 6.1 mpg with diesel at $4.14 per gallon.
Although Chevron has offered a 10W-30 oil since 2008, with increased interest among fleets and OEs in the fuel-saving potential of lower viscosity oils, the company decided to see if they could improve the formulation, explained Jim Gambill, North America Commercial and Industrial brand manager. And indeed, he says, the new and better formulation offers better wear control than its predecessor.
Gambill also said Delo 400 XLE can be used to extend oil drain intervals. Tests run in a Volvo 13-liter engine showed drain intervals could be extended by more than 40% over the regular Volvo recommended drain interval.
The premium synthetic blend is recommended for naturally aspirated and turbocharged four-stroke diesel engines and four-stroke gasoline engines in which the API CJ-4 or SM service category and SAE 10W-30 viscosity grade are recommended.
Yesterday, Kenworth announced it selected Delo 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 as standard factory fill for new Kenworth Class 8 diesel trucks.
The product is formulated for 2010-compliant low emission diesel engines with selective catalytic reduction, diesel particulate filter and exhaust gas recirculation and is also compatible with previous engine models and previous API oil service categories.
When switching to a lower-viscosity oil, Chevron recommends conducting oil analysis to check for any problems such as fuel dilution and talking to your engine maker.
Delo 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 joins Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE 5W-40, Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE 5W-30 and Delo® 400 NG SAE 15W-40 to expand Chevron's line of heavy-duty motor oils focused on delivering fuel economy without sacrificing engine durability.
In addition to better fuel economy, Delo 400 XLE's low viscosity base stocks promote consistent engine starting for vehicles operating in sub-zero temperatures.
Delo® 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 is approved for API Service Categories CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4 and SM. It also meets the requirements of Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2, Cummins CES 20081, DDC 93K218, Mack EO-O Premium Plus, Renault VI RLD-3 and Volvo VDS-4.
Delo 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 is now available in drums across North America and will be available in bulk in April. Jugs will be available by June.

Good Titles/
Headlines are Good Practice
In my role as an emergineer, I talk a lot about best practices and how they can be leveraged in a given customer deployment.
At the Traction User Group meeting in October, Jon Udell talked, in part, about Heds, Deks and Ledes (words used to mean Heads, Decks, and Leads but intentionally mis-spelled so they are not mistaken for content in a news room).
Jon says: "We're all publishers now in one way or another.
He talks through how this applies whether you are writing an email message or a blog post, then really brings it home in a Facebook example where when you post an event "Heds will always be visible to a scan or a search; decks and leads are active in far fewer contexts.
So, his recommendation for posting an event in Facebook is to pack the Hed of an event with the event title, location and date.
Email is a little more forgiving on Search, but when looking at email, we always start by scanning a list of titles (Heds).
In a blog post or wiki page, similar rules apply.
The happy medium, as Jon indicate, depends on where you are publishing, how its viewed and how its searched.

Something I've been meaning to get around to since the conception of this blog is to give more attention to that which was released years ago. To date, I've focused much of my efforts on covering current music, while at most giving a passing mention to the bands that pre-date those to which I refer. From this point forward, the Looking Back posts will cover releases from bands that have become otherwise forgotten, or at the very least overlooked in the sea of currently active bands in the Kansas City and Lawrence areas. I will try my best to include a scan or decent photo of the front/back cover of the releases, as well as my own personal rip of the album in question. Of course this will not always be possible, but we will deal with that when the problem arises. First up:
Band(s): Truck Stop Love & Action Man
Album: Split 7″
Label: Spot Records
Release Year: 1996
Track Listing:
Side A: Truck Stop Love – Nothing Left to Start
Side B: Action Man – Pool or Pond?
It looks like 1996 was a pretty good year for the bands involved, though nowhere near as busy as the year prior for Manhattan's Truck Stop Love. In 1995, the band released their well-received country, rock, and punk-tinged debut full-length How I Spent My Summer Vacation, as well as the often overlooked Fuentez the Killer EP that contained a cover of Tom Petty's "Listen to Her Heart." In the year of this release, Lawrence three-piece Action Man made their debut with Adventures in Boredom on both compact disc and 10″ vinyl. The two crossed paths with this split, and it also served as one of the last releases from either band.
At the link provided, you can find one track from each band recorded when they were essentially in their prime, or at the origins of their eventual demise depending on how you view their timelines. "Nothing Left to Start" clocks in at three minutes, and is a slower-paced but no less riff-heavy offering than much of their material to date, while the three-and-a-half minute "Pool or Pond?" showcases what was to become Chris Tolle's signature style that made his next band The Creature Comforts such a locally loved act. Both songs are exclusive to this release.
Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6whs9vwhs44dis5
For those of you expecting one of my history lessons in this post, I will not leave you wanting. Truck Stop Love on this recording was headed up by Rich Yarges and Jim Crego (of TV Fifty, who replaced Matt Mozier — later of Arthur Dodge and the Horsefeathers). Yarges and Crego both went on to live in the greater Minneapolis area, which makes sense given their affinity with bands from that area in their songwriting. The rhythm section of the band was given its strength from Brad Huhmann, who went on to play in Onward Crispin Glover and Lushbox shortly after the band parted ways, and who more recently can be seen in Red Kate and Knife Crime.
Drummer Eric Melin, formerly of the Moving Van Goghs, saw success once TSL split with Ultimate Fakebook, and is now in The Dead Girls. Fakebook recorded a cover of Truck Stop's song that you see listed in this post, and it appeared on the band's 1999 split with The Stereo (which you can find at a blog worth reading here). TSL played a reunion show about eight years ago, but it will likely never happen again for various reasons, not the least of which being that the members don't even live in the same climate these days.
Before Action Man became known for their poppy, Chris Tolle-supplied power chords, there was a short-lived band called Five-0, with AM's Steve Buren and Randy Fitzgerald (of Dave Dale's post-Micronotz jaunt Joe Worker) playing in a three-piece with John Harper (originally of the Micronotz, later of other mainstays such as The Kelly Girls, with Fitzgerald and Dale). Buren also played with Randy's brother Ron in classic Lawrence punk bands Brompton's Cocktail and The Hayseeds (the latter was an additional Harper band).
As I've already detailed in a paragraph here, Tolle has been known in chronological order as being a part of Rise, AM, The Creature Comforts, The Belles, Olympic Size, Early Reflections, and most recently has been self-releasing some recordings under his own name. Five-0 more or less morphed into what was to become Action Man, and rumor has it that Harper was initially game for the band, but decided to bow out after a handful of practice sessions, never having recorded or performed live with the trio. Upon Action Man parting ways, Tolle started the Creature Comforts with J.D. Warnock (with whom he played in Rise), who also filled in as a second guitarist for some later Fakebook recordings and live performances.
Disclaimer: the album included in this post was attained and ripped by the author, and all pictures or scans present were taken by author unless noted. Should a party involved in the release of the album feel their work is not fitting of digital documentation and prefers it not be freely traded among those without access to the physical product, the author will comply in the removal of the link with little question. Thank you for reading.

SMG trans normal around town driving?
I drove a couple M cars w/the SMG trans. I played w/the settings in iDrive. Drove in P400, P500, P500 sport, S-5, D5-, comfort, etc etc & no matter what I did it still did the typical dragging ass shifts making it a PITA to drive like a sane person.
So what are the magic settings to make the SMG trans bearable for normal around town driving? I don't mash the gas every time I hit the pedal so the SMG is really a PITA so far.
It's not only setting/s; it's the seat time that'll make the SMG shine for you, eventually. M cars need some effort on driver's part to extract performance out of them. If you are looking for street light to light race monster, then M is not the car you should be settling for. M cars do not even come alive below 4K-5K rpm and that's where the shifts are seamless and lightning quick.
So, I ask myself the question, what today..... what tomorrow?
I'm looking for input on how to make the SMG trans enjoyable during normal driving.
I don't mash the gas on my cars every time I get behind the wheel. I also don't rev to 5k RPM every time either. I know how to get the performance out of them This is about driving like a normal person.
I do understand your point. Just out of curiosity, have you driven any other M car besides E60 M5 or E63 M6? What I was trying to say is that when youll spend some seat time in M5/M6 SMG and get to understand the car better, normal driving in city without mashing the pedal will come natural to you. Even then, one still have to shift beyond 3K rpm otherwise one will get this bucking or bogged down feeling from the engine all the time. In addition, shifting at a low RPM will also yield clunky shifts.
But itll take some time to learn the nuances of SMG. Moreover, its a V10 with a rev happy S85, it needs some winding to get it going. Theres nothing subtle about it. Unfortunately no magical SMG setting/s to give one low end torque for normal driving in the city.
IMHO, the challenge that you are having is comparing your current cars twin-turbo with a low end torque to a S85 engine, which, only comes alive when its driven like you own it.
Again, the magic phrase is - Spend some seat time and sees if it checks most of your expectation boxes.
So, I ask myself the question, what today..... what tomorrow?
I wasn't asking for low end torque or power. All I am asking for here is normal around town driving without the trans acting like a pile & throwing any normal driving enjoyment right out the window.
So, I ask myself the question, what today..... what tomorrow?
Just purchased a 2006 E60 yesterday. beautiful and fun would be the two words i would choose to describe this car if faced with the challenge. the third would be "clunky". Today just going to and from work and traveling around town, i too am facing this same question. I have tried letting off the gas when i expect the shift and resume once it has completed the change...still clunky. messed with different modes...still clunky. This is the first BMW i have ever driven...period. That being said i have nothing to compare it to. I am though, aware enough and car savy to know it does shift quite awkward... in my opinion. I believe Magic-Man and myself were shooting for the same drive experience today. something comfortable around town and dirty when M button pushed and above 5K RPM. From my estimations i dont think this is going to happen. It is a true sports car sedan. it loved to be smashed with the gas. i drove it slow and quiet and got clunky. i drove it "semi-hard" and fast...got smooth. I am sure the engineers knew of this "problem" but technology just couldnt produce a remedy. I am ok with this. I will sacrifice the jerky ride for an unbelievable ride otherwise. looking forward to getting more comfortable with the car and enjoying my time with her. Thank you BMW for the experience.
My '10 M5 is perfectly enjoyable around town I personally found the key to (relatively) smooth driving to be:
1. "Instruct" the car to upshift via your right foot. If it hangs onto a lower gear too long, lift your foot off the accelerator lightly, and it'll generally shift up. This gets better with time and conditioning as the transmission/car learns how you drive.
2. Keep it in D3 around town. I find that in D4/5 it hangs onto low gears/higher RPMs uncomfortably long, and its much more prone to shifting "luxuriously" in D3. I have never tried D1-2 - they may be even better.
3. Around town, I personally find the car more comfortable to drive/less twitchy in P400 - the less sensitive throttle and lower power output seems to help.
1-3 wil help, in my experience, but it'll still never shift as smoothly as a regular automatic or DSG.
Not meaning to make my first post a negative one, but I'm afraid I have to agree. I've always wanted an M5 and stumbled across a clean 48k '08 at a Mecum auction this week. (I was there to perhaps purchase a street rod or muscle car.) Anyway- I didn't have a chance to drive the car obviously.
Picked it up yesterday and *HATE* the SMG transmission. Now it's interesting because after I bought the car on Friday, I read a bunch of reviews (Motortrend, Car & Driver, etc.) online before picking it up on Saturday. I kind of thought "uh-oh" as I read them because every single one without exception ragged on the SMG being harsh and unpleasant to drive- and several of these reviews were from SERIOUS enthusiast sites/publicatons. But I thought, "Wimps- how bad could it be" right?
Now I've owned high hp C6 Vettes with automatics (as well as 6-spd manuals) and I've owned several Porsches including a Boxster S with TipTronic and I've driven a new 911 with PDK automatic. Just drove a 55AMG with great shifting transmission. NO COMPARISON between those vehicles and the SMG in the M5.
All the way home yesterday I was FURIOUSLY fiddling with the Idrive and console buttons trying every imaginable combination looking for any sort of 'livable' shifting experience- nada. And considering BMW has done away with that transmission apparently they heard a LOT of that feedback from folks.
So now what to do? LOVE the car, the performance, funky front seats with 1000 adjustments that GRAB you when you go around a corner, etc. Beautiful styling (to my eye) and build quality.
But if I don't find a solution to the shifting issue it'll be for sale before April is over. I LOVE a fast ride (heck, I own a 2100 lb., 500hp Cobra replica!) but when I'm just going to the dentists office or the grocery store I do NOT want to be kicked in the butt or slammed into the steering wheel every time the car upshifts or downshifts.
I'll be searching for other threads that may offer ideas, but the first several threads I've read don't look promising. If the best answer is "drive it and you'll get used to it" I'll be bummin' insted of bimmin'!
Time will tell I guess. I'll either A: learn to live with it (doubt that) or B: discover a livable shift setting, or C: sell it.

I have to go with Mustaine on this one. I just bought my '07 M5 w/36000 mi from a local BMW dealer for a song. I traded in my '09 X5 Diesel. As I iterated in another posting, I was fortunate to have the GM of the dealership, who is an "M" fanatic and owner, take me for an "educational" test drive. He demonstrated all the nuances of the various programs and modes. But the thing that stuck out most was "shift between 3000-4000 rpm when street driving". This is unnatural for most of us who are used to low RPM shifting in non high-performance situations. It's the nature of that wonderful V10. With an 8000+ RPM redline, it's torque and horsepower are minimal at low revs. Get used to being at a higher RPM, for a given gear, than you're used to while shifting. Once settled in in traffic you can select up seamlessly for fuel economy. Work with it, not against it. My 58 year old wife loves it! I couldn't be happier!
I drive mine in D3 around town all the time with minimal issues. Trick is to "tell" the car to change gears by taking your foot of the accelerator ever so slightly when it's time to shift up a gear. With practice comes perfection (or as close as you'll come with SMG). Yes, it'll never be auto-smooth, but it'll be much, much better.
I was in the same boat as all of you, I had my m5's SMG updated with the EURO SMG specs off a board member on m5 board and i swear its night and day! The car is now more enjoyable around town, no more hard clunks and awkward jerks in traffic. I recommend this to anyone looking for more comfort (and reliability) out of there SMG.
The SMG has real clutch, the jerk comes from clutching and de-clutching with very little slip that is controlled by logic instead of your left foot on 3 pedals manual car (where you can control the slip of the clutch).
I don't like the D-mode but I enjoy driving the S-mode since I paddle shift it manually and know to expect the clutching action. I also take advantage of the car wide power band and smooth rev by staying in the gear for at least 4k-5k RPM (for relax driving) before shifting and rev it to at least 7k-8k for more spirited driving. Try driving the car by staying in gear longer, this engine loves to rev and the torque keeps building up beyond 6k RPM unlike C6/BoxsterS/AMG where the torque is dropping after 5k RPM and is straining at high RPM. I rarely shift beyond 4th gear when driving in town to keep the RPM above 3K at all time.

absolutely...I had a 997 911 carerra S and like that car, this one as well loves the revs...you just gotta wind the thing out...let it breathe a lil...hell, let it breathe a lot and enjoy the damn thing. Its supposed to be cranked up and out and ran like a thai hooker before the world blows up.
Really though...beat it and love it thats what this car is for...why the hell not...lol
Or get a manual and drive the machine rather than let the machine drive you. To me the steptronic / SMG trannys is like trying to order a pizza while your wife is talking to you.
I have only had mine for about 5 months, and I agree. Shifting anytime below 3K rpm and it will drive me nuts, gotta go higher in the rpm range
Shifting my C6 is a slop-fest at best. I can' t tell you how many times I've hit the limiter on that car while waiting for the tranny to make its move. You have to anticipate the shift point if you have your foot to the floor. I'm just gonna jump in with both feet and take the smg challenge on first hand
I think the M5 is designed to to quite and stable in low gears. like previously stated its many hrs at the wheel before you understand its concept. If it was designed to be a quarter mile car ,the average buyer would lose control of the car in the first month of ownership. the smg gear shift mimics a petal clutch s pause and power reduction.This is what keeps the car on the road and saving lives. smg also saves tires from wearing out prematurely .I love the way Smg trans is applied on this car.
I don't really understand all the whining about the SMG. Full Manual cars (M or not) will jerk and kick a little bit during shifts unless you ride the clutch to death. If thats the case, stay away from any performance car and buy a lexus. I don't get what people who hate the SMG want out of it. Its a sequential MANUAL transmition. It does take a little time to learn and get a feel for but once you've got it down its great to drive. The 7 speeds really lend themselves well to the power of the motor. The gears are close and once you get up to third you can upshift and downshift seamlessly with the SMG. This is where it really shines. Its not made to sit in traffic crawling along at 15mph, sorry. Anyone who buys a 500hp car should kind of get this from the beginning.
Normal driving = D2 P400, shifting about 2800-3200 rpm.
I bought a 2010 M5 a few months ago and was worried about the "livability" of the SMG after reading many reviews and comments online. After a bit of driving, I've settled on D2 for normal around town driving. It shifts in the 2800-3200 zone and keeps the shifts pretty smooth. The posts above are right on - use the gas pedal as if you were driving a normal manual transmission and the computer "gets it" and will shift for you. Push the gas gently off a stop light, let it run up to about 2500-2800, pause on the gas, and it will shift for you. As MarkieM5 said above, it IS a manual transmission - and you will get little jerks and jumps, just like you would if you were shifting it yourself. With a little experience, I've come to REALLY LOVE the car. It fits how I want to drive perfectly.
The car is built for a particular philosophy of driving. It tends to be a bit intellectual with the different drive, power, and shift modes. To get the most out of the car, you need to tailor the settings to what you want to do at that moment. Then, you have to be thinking ahead to have the car in the right RPM zone for what you are trying to accomplish. I found it really important to play with all the different drive modes, power and suspension settings in order to have a good feel for how the car works. Now I am able to properly configure the car for exactly what I want to do at the time. Around town, D2 P400, shift below 3000 rpm. Warmed up with moving traffic on the freeway, D3 or D4 and keep the revs above 3000 rpm for responsiveness.
The incredibly cool thing about the car is that it's quite possibly the most direct translation of F1 racing technology ever built into a production car. The V10 and the SMG absolutely shine in high performance driving - and get by in day to day driving. It's a race car with four doors and a luxury interior. This, however, does require a compromise for daily driving - just like a Ferrari or any other racing-based high performance cars.
Mercedes has a very different view for their E63 AMG --- it has massive low end torque and a slick automatic transmission. Push the pedal off a light, it will bury you into the driver seat and you won't even notice the gear shifts. If you want a luxury car with effortless power, you'll probably do better with an AMG. If you want a true race car, stay with the E60 M5.

I've had my 08 SMG for a few months now, and I almost always shift it manually. I prefer to shift it because the car shifts when I want it to, and I can keep it at whatever RPM I desire. When I'm in auto mode, the car tells me what it wants, and I simply like being in charge.
The one main exception is heavy rain. When it's hard to hear the engine/exhaust, I don't mind letting the car take over then.
I live in Miami and traffic is terrible , the other issue I have is my wife not enjoying the SMG at all. Through trial and error, I found that driving in D1 or D2 drives smoothly in traffic. The shifts is a lot smoother and the gears change at lower RPMs saving you from having to buy a neck brace. You might even start at second gear sometimes but all in all it saves me from the evil eye from my wife! Hope this helps.

Smg jerks in city traffic
I agree with you, my wife shouted at me the other night, "Why does this car keep jerking the hell out of my neck", I started laughing. What I noticed is that she would jerk herself before the car jerked her in low gears. I'm not a SMG fan of city traffic, or I need to take it to the dealership to find out is this truly the way this car was meant to perform in the city.
2006 bmw m5 e60
To be honest the BMW M5 or any of the M's shouldn't be a daily driver unless it's a regular series M package. I've notice that around town it's hard to stay in low rpm with a nice shift unless your in the 3000-4000 rpm area but come on now we all know it's because of the torque & power this car puts out. Honestly this car should be only driven 3-4 times a week.. She's more like a trophy then a daily car.. Just wait for those weekend rides on the highway & let that v10 of a beast unleash.. You have 507hp for a reason. Want a nice ride around town then get you a 335,545,550 & let the beast do his thing when you let her out.
