Servicing the Engine Management System (ECM/PCM)
Electronic components are easily damaged if proper precautions are not taken.
- Static electricity can damage solid-state components. It is always good practice to wear a grounded static strap when handling these components.
- Never use a test lamp or an analog meter when testing solid-state components.
- Be sure that spark plug wires and any other circuits developing a high voltage are not routed in the same path as the solid-state component.
- Do not apply a current or ground to any portion of a solid-state component unless you are sure of its operation.
- Jump stating a vehicle with the jumper cables reversed can destroy a solid-state circuit. Remember: red to red and black to black.
- Be careful when handling sensors, as they can lose their calibration if dropped or mishandled.
- Refrain from wearing jewelry when working on electronic components.
- Before removing any ECM, disconnect the battery ground lead.
- Never disconnect the battery from the on-board electrical system while the engine is running.
- Never subject the ECM/PCM to temperatures above 80 degrees Centigrade.
- Ensure all cable harnesses are solidly connected and battery terminals are thoroughly clean.
- When charging the battery, disconnect it from the vehicle's electrical system.
- Never disconnect or connect the cable harness plug at the ECM/PCM when the ignition is switched on.
- Before attempting any electrical arc welding, disconnect the battery leads and the ECM/PCM connectors.
- When steam cleaning engines, do not direct the steam cleaning nozzle at the ECM/PCM components.
- Use only test equipment specified by the vehicle manufacturer, and observe the recommended test procedures for that test equipment.
- When using a digital multimeter for voltage tests, ensure a digital meter with an internal impedance rating of at least 10 million ohms per volt (10 mega-ohms/volt) is used.
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity for your body before you touch your computer or any of its electronic components, such as the PROM. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface, or wear a static wrist strap. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
- When unpacking a computer or component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the anti-static packing material until you are ready to install the component. Just before unwrapping the anti-static packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
- Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use workbench pads.

Please Review!
1. Chapter 1
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 993 Review this Chapter
I'm Bella Swan. It's my birthday today. I'm 14 years old. Here is my life—my parents got divorced when I was 6 months old and I lived with my mother in Phoenix. I have a boyfriend named Edward Cullen and we were together since we were 13, (our parents said that it was a good age to date) but we've loved each other since we were born. Literally. Esme, his mother and Renee, my mother were best friends growing up and they conveniently lived next door to each other. They got pregnant around the same time and gave birth on the same day.
The weirder part is that a lot of people were going into labor that night too so Renee and Esme even had to share a delivery room! Edward and I saw each other everyday and learned everything together-potty train, self feed, swim, love.
Yes, I knew I loved him since I was eight but I think I loved him even before that. I told him and he was planning on telling me the same day that he loved me too. He always stared at me when he thought I wasn't looking. His family, Carlisle (father), Esme (mother), Alice and Rosalie (sisters), and Jasper and Emmett (brothers) all loved me and I loved them too. They are the nicest and most generous people I ever knew.
During the party that Alice and Rosalie threw for me, they all had preoccupied faces. I took Edward's hand and took him into my room. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing." He replied. "Don't tell me nothing! For some reason I feel like you're going to t-tell m-me t-th-that you w-want t-t-to b-br-bre-" He pulled me close to him and he kissed me.
I hadn't realized that I was crying until he kissed away my tears. "Don't talk. Let's stay like this a little longer." He said in his soothing, velvet voice. We held each other like that for almost ten minutes. Alice came to find us and said, "Everyone is looking for the birthday girl! It's time to cut the cake!"
I'm Edward Cullen. I'm 14 and have known the girl of my dreams since we were born in the same delivery room. It was fate.
Every time I look at her, I think I'm so lucky. What did I do to deserve such a beautiful angel like her? Every time I think about her, I end up staring at her beautiful chestnut eyes and mahogany hair. I love her, but she deserves more than me.
One day, I am planning to ask her to marry me. But I have dreadful news that will probably hold off my dream. My love-even though she doesn't know it yet-and I have to be separated.
My father, Carlisle is a traveling doctor, so where ever they needed him, we would have to move. We were all surprised that we stayed in Phoenix this long.
We are moving to Washington, somewhere in the Olympic Peninsula. I have to tell her. I have to tell her. I will sneak into her room and tell her tonight.
After the party, around midnight, I heard a knock. Edward's knock. I opened my window and he climbed in. he looked upset. "Edward, what's wrong? Tell me, or I could just call Alice and-" "No Bella. Don't. I'll tell you. Bella I am moving." I sat on my bed like a statue. I couldn't even feel my heart beat. "Bella?" "When…" I asked in the faintest whisper. "Tomorrow." Then everything went black.
Once I said tomorrow, she stared at me for about a second and then crumpled to the floor. I saw a tear escape her eyes. I hated myself and it would be better if she did too. Renee heard the thud so had about 3 seconds to escape. I jumped out of her window and ran as far as I could before my lungs protested, screaming for air. Then I turned around and ran back to my house. "How did she take it?" I looked at Alice and she saw the pained expression on my face. She pulled me in an embrace and I did back. "She…crumpled…..to the………floor!" My poor angel looked like she died. I needed air. When I walked outside, I found myself outside of Bella's house. I could hear everything. "Bella? Oh, good you're awake. Another minute and I would have called an ambulance…" "He's leaving." "Who?" "EDWARD!" "To where honey?" "I don't know. I have to find him!" then I heard her run down the steps and towards the door. I was frozen in place by their conversation.
When Bella opened the door, I took an involuntary step back and then she started towards me. I ran away into the woods. She shouldn't see me like this, all red and puffy.
That is when I heard a noise that sounded like a tree snapping. I saw a fiery red, something, pass by in an instant. A shape came closer towards me. I realized that it was a woman. "Hello." She said. "I'm Victoria, not that you really need to know. I am so sorry that I have to end your life. You are a very attractive young man." "What do you mean by end my life?" She snickered and was next to me in a second. She suddenly felt uncomfortable as she brushed her lips against my neck, as if she kissed me. When she removed her form from me, I felt a sharp burning pain. I screamed in horror and pain. She licked her lips while saying, "Mmm… you taste better than you smell." Then I saw some blood drool down her jaw. That is when I realized that bit me and drank my blood. DRANK MY BLOOD?! What good-souled human would do that? While I was loosing consciousness, I heard her laugh; her hair being blown in the wind, and all I could think about was my crying angel. Beautiful angels like her shouldn't cry.

Fichardt leads by a shot in South African golf
- Associated Press
- February 28, 2013 - 12:18 PM
CENTURION, South Africa - Darren Fichardt of South Africa birdied the longest par-5 in European Tour history Thursday to lead the inaugural Tshwane Open by one stroke after the first round.
Fichardt shot a 7-under-par 65 and was one of three players in the top 24 to need only four shots on the 685-yard fourth hole.
"I hit driver, 3-iron, 7-iron and holed a 12-foot putt," said Fichardt, who lives 10 minutes from the Els Club course at the Copperleaf Golf and Country Estate. "But I mean, at that length, into the wind and with the fairways not running, it's not a fun hole."
Bjorn Akesson of Sweden was at 66, with six players at 67. Darren Clarke opened with a 69 while Michael Campbell was at 72 and Jose Maria Olazabal at 76.
"This golf course is awesome, it's very fair," Fichardt said. "The greens are very soft, so you're able to attack the flags."
Two weeks ago, Fichardt captured a fourth European Tour title in winning the Africa Open at East London. Last week, he was seventh in a Sunshine Tour event.
"I've been playing for eight weeks in a row and I don't even know what's going on," he said. "I'm just going with the flow and hitting one shot at a time, so I'm looking forward to a break after this week."
Akesson joined Fichardt in the lead after birdies at Nos. 13 and 14 and an eagle-3 at the 15th. Akesson, however, bogeyed the 17th to drop into second.
In the big group in third were England's David Howell and Gary Lockerbie, South Africa's Charl Coetzee and Jean Hugo, India's Jeev Milkha Singh and Chile's Mark Tullo.

Many RPGs, Little Time
May as well start with the good parts. The writing style is rather nice, providing better description than the average VN and effectively characterizing the protagonist. Everyone else is also well-characterized, by which I mean they're consistent and just complex enough to be interesting. It's almost a certainty that you'll find one of the heroines to be cute. The story even does something clever once in a while.
As likely as that is to fail (and as often as it probably has), it actually is that epic in G-Senjou no Maou because the plot and characters are wonderfully designed, which by the way while never impossible to ignore, it takes effort (or perhaps a really shitty adolescence) to not let it get in the way of empathizing with the characters and their problems.
With all the unexpected twists and secrets and backstories needed to fill up three whole versions of the story, and arguably then some. Nothing feels unbalanced or forced or predictable, and something new always shows up the moment you thought your victory was certain. This is partly thanks to the fact that having three almost completely different retellings of the story allows every character to shine at least once, and for all of the secrets to come out. Especially in the final route, some of the reveals can truly make you feel the weight of the eons behind them.
As for the plot that allows this to happen, it's nothing all that original, although its told perfectly fine and has the interesting tendency to leave most of the major questions wide open even by the end. This felt consistent and intentional to me, so it turned into a positive by helping one focus on the psychological stuff instead of the plot.
But sadly, it was not perfect this time. Sometimes, there was simply too much unnecessary text between major plot points, or a random link to an amusing but also unnecessary infodump would kill a scene's momentum. Still, although many parts of the game felt like a slog to get to some answers, this never lasted for very long and it always felt worth it since almost every significant question gets an explicit answer somewhere.
"The Bad"
Somewhat it's hard to read, hard to understand, and if you're not a fan of mind screws and metaphysics it may be difficult to even finish this game. But everyone should at least enjoy some of the comedy/action/pseudoscience even if they're not following everything.

I'm truly into this game not even yume miru made met his excited. i think i might even finish it and it's been a long time since I've finished a whole game. But i have to say maou is my favorite villain of all time.
I think i know maou's true intentions
not I've only done tsubaki's and kanon's route now im in the last chapter. I'm not truly that interested in mizhua but seeing as how i really got into tsubaki and it was tame compared kanon her route really really got to me i was really trying to rush through kanon's route to get back to the main story but i got lost in it. man ohh man it was amazing.
but yeah so i have a theory of sorts someone said i was right but i haven't gotten another opinion it.
Spoiler for g senjou:
now the headaches really throw me off and the way they fizz out and then how maou acts on kanons route. it confuses this and so i think i've got another theory which may or may not be true

I started playing this... A month and a half ago? Tsubaki's route just dragged on for me and I found it hard to keep sinking hours into because I just didn't enjoy it but alas, I'm a completionist it so I soldiered on.
Finished her route both endings last Tuesday and continued on. Then came Kanon. I quite enjoyed her route and really enjoyed the changes to her character throughout the Good End path.
Finished her route last Friday afternoon and started Mizuha's route Saturday evening. She was my favourite early on - twin tails are win tails amirite? - and I really enjoyed her Good End and the conflict between the sisters was interesting. This was Sunday morning about 2am, didn't get much sleep that night!
The last twenty four hours between work and picking up a new rifle - yay! - I finished Haru's route and damn. What a ride.
Haru really grew on me during Mizuha's route but before that I shared Kyousuke's disgust towards her weird behaviour. XD
And the ending was very well done and left me wanting more.

So, if this game ever gets a release on console or re-release on PC, what do you all think that would be good additions?
Personally, a Maou route either done as:
-A True path of his own, basically the true path in his POV minus Kyosuke, maybe
-An alternate one, completely new path
Story tweaks. I feel that currently the game has too many plotholes and retcons, basically because
And maybe a new girl/path?

hello guys, im pretty hesitant on playing this one, because it gives off an impression of a dark story. i do not hate all those dark stuff, like murder, gore, blood. but i seriously hate the dark sexual/physical (example. sexual abuse, rape, attempted rapes, non-protagonist characters with sexual/romantic desires on heroines, torture) when the main heroines are concerned.
i am asking this because the previous VN i read Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo, ended up in a pretty similar situation.

Abuse, yes, sexual? no.
Likewise, there isn't anything of that sort in G senjou, except, similarly to Sharin, some individuals are morally deviant.

Except that has nothing to do with sexual abuse.

So no, you really misunderstood points in that regard.

MADISON, Wis. – Since the end of the 2008 season, the Northern Illinois coaching staff put a heavy emphasis on improving in the red zone on offense.
They took a hard look at some of the best offensive schools in the country, such as Florida and TCU, looked at their film, talked with their coaches, felt like they learned a few things, took steps in the right direction and implemented those ideas into fall camp.
The Huskies scored on all four trips to the red zone in Saturday night's 28-20 loss at Wisconsin, but it was two field goals instead of two touchdowns in the first half that left the them frustrated.
Although all that work in the offseason might pay off as the season progresses and a young team grows up, offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said that for opening night, that emphasis might have been dialed up a notch too high.
"We made such a big deal about it I think we may have put too much pressure on them," Limegrover said. "They knew we were in the red zone and we may have tried a little too hard. It's like 'We made it. We're aware of it now. Let's try and take a deep breath, put a pin in it and let's go out and play.' "
Sophomore quarterback Chandler Harnish offered a simpler explanation why the Huskies didn't break through into the end zone until the fourth quarter.
"They've got a great defense," Harnish said. "And then we didn't execute, that's plain and simple. And we'll get better at it."
Limegrover said that when the team gets down into the red zone over half the play calls get the ball straight to the end zone but naturally because of the short field the offense becomes limited in what it can do and execution becomes even more critical.
"That field gets squeezed down and your list of calls goes down from a whole big sheet to a few calls you feel comfortable with and we just didn't execute them," Limegrover said. "That and third down are two areas where in the third quarter we really put our defense in a bind."
The Huskies were 3 of 12 on third down and had seven plays that led to two punts in the third quarter while the Badgers scored two touchdowns on 15 offensive plays.
"You can't run a first down play for five [yards] and a second down play for minus-2," Limegrover said. "I was proud of the guys who came out and bang-bang-bang but then all of a sudden we're third-and-10. That's when defenses heat you up."
But the Huskies still came away with a score on every red zone opportunity. Now, with a game under their belt and the experience of playing in an atmosphere like Camp Randall Stadium, they'll look to net more than 20 points on those opportunities.
"It's something we stressed during camp," Limegrover said. I think the kids were disappointed but I chalk it up to that they may have been a little too amped up."
Going the extra yard
MADISON, Wis. – Since the end of the 2008 season, the Northern Illinois coaching staff put a heavy emphasis on improving in the red zone on offense.

This morning I woke up to a giant thud; as it turned out, the UPS driver couldnt be bothered to walk up my steps and just chucked at my door the Top Chef cookbook Id ordered. How befitting, as after last nights episode, I wanted to throw the book at some of the chefs and maybe even the judges. But Im getting ahead of myself, so lets take things in order and then figure out where to lay the blame.
At the start of the Quick Fire, the chefs are introduced to Tony Mantuano, chef and owner of Spiaggia in Chicago. If you ever have a chance to eat at Spiaggia, take it; I was there on a business dinner about three years ago and it was the most elegant, stylish and tasty Italian food Ive ever laid my eyes on. But this QF has nothing to do with Italian food whatsoever. As a nod to the season this episode is airing, the chefs are challenged to make a stuffing; the winner will take away a jaw-dropping $20,000 and have immunity in the Elimination Challenge. There is just one catch to this challenge, however; the chefs cannot use any ordinary kitchen utensils at allno spoons, no knives, no nothing.
Tiffani notes that stuffing is really specific to regions, houses, and even mothers; I believe there was a big stuffing vs. dressing discussion somewhere in the general food talk thread here on the FoRT. With the news of the cash prize in play, the chefs make a mad dash to the refrigerators. Carla isnt going to get caught in the fray, so when she gets to the supplies, all thats left is quinoa. The chefs get pretty inventive trying to devise ways to cut things: Carla smashes an onion with a pot, Tre freezes stuff with liquid nitrogen to smash it, Fabio shreds cheese on the pot rack, and Tiffani cuts a bird with a pepper grinder. Its kitchen mayhem at its finest. The variations on stuffing produced are:
Caseys mushrooms with crispy chicken liver, miso cake, and mushroom dashi
Jamies stuffing crepinette with pork, lemon oil, and broth (soup!)
Carlas un-done-te Thai inspired vegetable stuffing with black (undercooked, and she knows it) quinoa
Spikes stuffed quail with raisins, herbs, port and apricot glaze
Marcels whole squab, stuffing with raisin brioche, cherries, currants and ras el hanout gravy
Richards pressure cooked onion, nitro fried fennel, raisins and pine nuts
Tres southwestern stuffing with bacon, cheddar, bell pepper, and chili powder
Dales Spanish inspired stuffing with crab, oysters, chili lemon aioli, grapes and olives
Tiffanis soy maple stuffing with quail, grilled mushrooms, and quartered grapes
Fabios polenta bread, vegetables, smoked bacon and grated parmesan
Tony didnt like Carlas quinoa (but she knew she was in the weeds with the raw grain), Tiffanis overly-sweet stuffing, and Caseys non-stuffing presentation. He really liked Tres spicy stuffing and Marcels stuffing and whole bird. Tony gives the win to Tre, who will spend the money on his girls because, to his mind, girls are really expensive.
Tennis, anyone?
For the EC, the chefs will cook at the US Open courts in two teams, where they will serve head-to-head food designed for athletes. They draw tennis balls to set the teams. Team Orange is made up of Mike, Fabio, Dale, Carla, Antonia, Richard, and Marcel. Team Yellow is made up of Angelo, Tiffani, Casey, Jamie, Tre, Tiffany, and Spike. Continuing with the tennis theme, as the teams face off, the first team to get four points will win the challenge. Tony points out that there is room for strategizing the order the food is presented, as in when to send up the strongest dish.
Spike is a bit worried; he doesnt have any allies on his team. Carla is intent on doing an African vegetarian soup, but Dale thinks its too down-scale. Back at the house, the Orange Team secludes themselves to the roof to talk over their menu and lightly discuss strategy. However, downstairs Team Yellow seriously discusses strategy; Spike doesnt want to blow their best dish going against another best dish early on. Jamie is supposed to go against the best dish because no one has confidence in her soups or ability to avoid hospitialization.
The next morning, the chefs first head to Whole Foods and then its off to the US Open kitchen, which is massive. We learn that Tre and Carla are both runners, and Antonia lettered in high school in the 4:20 club. For some reason, Fabio is making gnocchi again; its his personal ceviche. Jamie worries that her chickpeas wont be done in three hours; I always thought you had to soak dried beans overnight before you cooked them, but maybe thats urban legend. Angelo runs into some slime on the mackerel he got at the store. Im watching in HD and dont see any slime, so Ill just have to take his word for it. He tries to bum some fish from Tre, but hes not having it and sends him to Tiffany to see if she has extra tuna. She gives him some because shes not into playing games.
Tom arrives to find out what strategies the teams are working on. Jamie wont give up Team Yellows strategy but Spike and Angelo dothey figure Team Orange will send Richard out first, so theyll send out their weakest dish against him that way Team Orange will have wasted their strongest dish. Smirking Tom leaves the kitchen with one hour before service.
And then comes the bloodCarlas blood, to be specific. She glanced up from her chopping and took off half her fingernail and tip of her finger. Unlike a certain someone else, she gets bandaged up by the medic, puts on a glove, and keeps plowing away. She gets total respect from Dale and Antonia, and I hope Jamie felt a little more embarrassed.
With only ten minutes on the clock, Spike re-fires his shrimp because he wasnt happy with the first batch. He knows he didnt get to season them like he should in the rush to finish. Meanwhile, Jamies chickpeas still arent soft enough to eat and shes a bit whiney about it.
You Cant Lose If You Dont Play
The chefs head out to the tennis court to set up their stations; the teams are on opposite sides of the court so neither knows what the others are serving. Team Orange sends up Fabio first; he wants to go up first because he has the best gnocchi in town. Team Yellow wants Jamie to go up first as planned and take the hit for the team, but she flatly refuses. Casey decides to step up and go up first. The judges (Tony Mantuano, Tom, Gail, and Padma) are joined by Taylor Dent, a professional tennis player with culinary knowledge. They taste Fabios whole wheat gnocchi with pork loin ragout, caramelized fennel, and zucchini and Caseys grilled pork tenderloin salad with faro, cherries, sugar snap peas and vinaigrette. Fabios whole wheat gnocchi are a hit, and its a point to the Team Orange and a jump over the net for Fabio.
For round two, Team Orange sends Dale up next because if he doesnt go then, his dish will be ruined. This irritates Marcel because he was set to go next. On Team Yellow, all strategy is out the window, and they send Tiffani up because she has a strong dish. Dale serves an edamame dumpling, with spicy carrot froth and crispy soy nuts and Tiffani serves a sashimi of black bass, avocado and ponzu vinaigrette. Gail would go with Tiffani, as would Tony and Tom, though Padma would pick Dale. Tiffani wins the point and its all tied up.
For the third match up, Team Orange sends up Marcel and Team Yellow sends up Angelo. Angelo serves smoked tuna, yuzu gelee, red onion, and capers while Marcel serves cauliflower couscous with pomegranate seeds, golden raisins and yellowfin tuna. Taylor likes them both but the rest of the judges like Angelos dish better. Team Yellow wins the point and pulls ahead.
In the fourth round, there is some debate as to whom Team Yellow will send up; eventually they settle on Tiffany, who plates with Angelo buzzing around poking every dish. Team Orange sends up Antonia, though at first it looked like Richard was going up. Tiffany serves spiced tuna with fennel, peppercorns, coriander seeds and lentil salad and Antonia serves scallops, Indian lentil puree, mint, dandelion greens, cilantro, and chives. Tony would pick Tiffany, Gail and Taylor with Antonia, Padma with Tiffany, and it comes down to Tom picking Antonia, so point to Team Orange and its tied up again.
The next round has Richard facing off with Spike; its down to him or undercooked bean girl Jamie. Spike is nervous, because Richard is good at what he does; this case of the nerves lets him slip up and let Angelo and Tiffani add stuff to his dish, including Angelos yuzu gelee, that was not in Spikes original vision. Spike serves a tomato tamarind soup, olive oil poached shrimp, pineapple, tomato and dill (and the gelee) and Richard serves his cutesy named Thai-bouleh with lam, herbs, and yogurt. Tony didnt like either protein, and while Tom liked Spikes soup, the shrimp was bland so Tom gives the win to Richard, putting Team Orange ahead and one point away from the win.
The final round pits Carla against Tre; Jamies beans are still undercooked and Tre has immunity. Carlas peanut soup, according to Mike, has bold flavors and may not be that appealing; Carla has had to defend her soup to her team the entire challenge. Hey, shes not Jamie; chances are her soup is good. Angelo, still wanting to get into everyones dishes, asks Tre if he can do anything, so Tre lets him cook the salmon, some of which are burnt. Carla serves the judges African groundnut soup with baked sweet potatoes, adzuki beans, and peanuts while Tre serves coho salmon, parsnip puree, olive oil sauce with citrus, tomatoes and olives. Taylor loves the salmon but Tony, Padma, and Gail go with Carla and Team Orange takes the win. Gail didnt mind Tres salmon but it was a bit over-cooked. Jamie didnt even go up at all (but neither did Mike, but whatever he made couldnt have been worse than raw chickpeas) and wont be eligible for elimination.
And Now For Some Book-Tossing
As Team Orange won, and only their members are technically eligible for the win, so Padma calls in Fabio, Antonia, Carla, and Richard. They won the points for their team, and, as a special prize, the winner will get a trip to Italy to eat fabulous foods, which is a pretty damn sweet prize. When asked, Richard says they really didnt have a strategy about who to send up when, because all of their dishes were pretty strong. Tony comments that Carlas soup could be perceived as homey, but she elevated it. Gail loved the raisins in Antonias dish and the layers of flavor. Tom liked Richards idea for the Thai-bouli and Tony was impressed with Fabios light gnocchi. Tony then announces Carla the winner; those dudes who were against her soup need to suck it.
Team Yellows point losing members then face the judges; Casey, Tre, Tiffany, and Spike look less than thrilled to be in the bottom. Spike explains their strategy; they thought the other team would put their best dish up first so they would put the worst. Gail wonders why they thought Caseys dish was the worst; Spike says they didntJamie had the worst dish. Tom points out that the worst dish isnt even up for elimination. Spike then talks about Tiffani and Angelo interfering in the dish and tossing his first three plates because they thought it was too spicy; he says he just got run over by them. Gail thinks the dish did get too sweet but Tom sticks by his complaint that the shrimp was too bland. Tony says the soup was pretty good outside the shrimp. Tom asks Tiffany if she thinks Angelo would sabotage someone; she says after thinking over her season, people should just cook their own food off their own instincts. Tiffany faces criticism that her salad was over-dressed and the spice rub on the lamb didnt have a good finish. Tony opines that Tre used his immunity to skate, because his dish was their least favorite of all. Gail thought Caseys dish was heavy; Casey stands by her dish, calling it hearty.
During the deliberations, they conclude Tre phoned it in, Spike lost control of the dish, Caseys dish didnt have enough faro, and Tiffanys dish was lacking in some flavor element. The bottom four return to Judges Table. Tom says Caseys dish was good, but she went up against someone who did a bit better; Tre delegated cooking to a team mate who ultimately is a competitor. Spikes soup was good but the shrimp werent, and Tiffanys tuna was bland. Padma then tells Spike to pack his knives and go.
Spike feels like he was screwed, and in my opinion, he was and he wasnt. He should have gotten the team behind the strategy and gotten Jamie up there and he should have told Tiffani and Angelo to back off. But what really bugs me is that neither Mike nor Jamie had to even face the judges at all; it was de facto unearned immunity from elimination and, in Mikes case, a loss of eligibility for the big win.

I Put My Carter Hating RePuke Boss In His Place: So much fun!
First off, My boss (who like me is in his Mid-20's)and I have very open political discussions, so I fear no retaliation whatsoever for standing my ground and letting him know my political views. He is however a very aggressive Fundie RePuke that carries Hanni-Limb-Savage water on a daily basis (Endless RW Talk Radio Talking Points). It was very fun to have him discover that Carter was far stronger and a better president than he could have imagined.
We were having a discussion about worst presidents ever and I let him know Dubya will probably go down as the worst president in history. He took the typical RePuke position and put Carter at the top of the crap list. He was bashing Carter up and down, every issue from the economy, to the military, and Iran Hostage. I just told him the truth and let him know about some "hidden" facts regarding the greatness of James Earl Carter.
1) Military: Carter did absolutely NO damage to the military. His plan for a smaller nuclear force and responsible conventional forces spending was the right thing to do. It would have kept the Soviet threat nuetralized and would not have led to the fiscal disaster of the Reagan 80's wasted arms buildup. My boss took the "Oh He cancelled the B-1 Bomber and made us weaker against the Soviets" angle. Again, I had to smack him down with the truth. Carter cancelled the B-1 program because it was a bumper technology to the next generation. Carter APPROVED the secret ATB Bomber Program in 1978. The ATB eventually became the B-2 Stealth Bomber, America's finest strategic air asset. Reagan abused this issue in the election and Carter COULD have brought the ATB to light for political expediancy, but he chose to keep it quiet! Carter was a patriot and rightly kept this nations secret. I asked my boss, "is that the act of a terrorist sympathizer or a america hater?" Again, just a simply "Oh" in response.
2) Panama Canal Treaty: I simply told him how he would like it if another country owned the most important/profitable piece of real estate in your native country. Jaw dropped, I told him how he would like it if Mexico owned the Mississippi River or Canada controlled the Interstate Highway System. The native population (us) would not like that at all! He was quiet after that.
3) Iran Hostage Crisis: He hammered away on this issue. I asked him flat out "Do you believe military men should plan and execute missions without political interferece?" He said "Absolutely". I let him know to look up Operation Eagle Claw and see how the failure to rescue the hostages rested with the Military and bad weather! The Military planned that disaster (Col. Beckwith I think was his name)and Carter tried his best, but it just did not pan out. I also let him know that Bush lets HIS commanders make the decisions on the ground and that is ok with you, but Carter doing the same thing is ignorance? Simple Silence
4) Economy: I just left it as Free Markets and inheriting the Nixon/Vietnam disaster economy. I was too tired to debate anymore.
It was very fun to put this RePuke in his place. I wish more people would stick up for Carter and not let conservatives take advantage of this hole in history. Carter had his faults, but he did the best possible job he could have. He is an honest American and one President that we can always look up to with pride (Unlike Dubya, who is a skidmark on this nations history!).
Hidden facts about the "greatness" of Jimmah. ROFL!!!!!! :D

UGA Takes 3-1 Win in Series OpenerSports Saturday, April 20th, 2013
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 13 Texas A&M softball team (35-10, 6-9 SEC) dropped a 3-1 decision at Georgia (32-15, 9-7 SEC), Friday in the first game of a three-game Southeastern Conference series.
Senior Meagan May had the Aggies' only RBI of the day on a two-out single up the middle in the top of the fourth. A&M and UGA both stranded seven batters, and Bulldog pitcher Chelsea Wilkinson's 12 strikeouts broke her personal career and UGA's 2013 records.
Georgia had two base hits and an RBI double in the bottom of the first, and took advantage of two A&M errors to lead 2-0 after the first inning.
Three Aggies reached base in the first two innings, but each was left stranded. Juniors Nicole Morgan and Jenna Stark drew four-pitch walks and freshman Cali Lanphear hit a single up the middle. Junior Cassie Tysarczyk added a base hit down the right-field line in the top of the third, but was caught stealing.
In the top of the fourth, junior Jenna Stark was hit by a pitch and moved to second when junior Amber Garza reached on a walk. With two outs, May sent a base hit skidding into centerfield as Stark scored the 2-1 run.
Stark was hit by her second pitch of the night in the top of the sixth and Garza battled through a 15-pitch at-bat to again reach on a walk. A fielder's choice by Lanphear put runners at first and second, but the Aggies were unable to capitalize on the opportunity.
UGA scored its final run of the day on an RBI fielder's choice in the bottom of the sixth with runners on first and third and two outs on the board.
The 3-1 victory gives Georgia a 1-0 advantage in the series and is the Bulldogs' first win against a ranked team this season.
Aggie sophomore Lauren Ainsley (11-4) tossed four strikeouts and allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks. Wilkinson's (5-2) dozen strikeouts were offset by one earned run on three hits and four walks.
The Aggies and Bulldogs play game two tomorrow at 3 p.m. Central. A live broadcast of the game can be heard on Sports Radio 1150 AM and watched for free at georgiadogs.com/allaccess/. To learn more about Texas A&M softball, log on to AggieAthletics.com and follow @AggieSoftball on Twitter.

Thursday Recruitin'
Don't forget, The 2011 Michigan Football Recruiting Board is your headquarters for recruiting updates.
Your Weekly Breathless Dee Hart Update
The Gridiron Kings event in Florida last weekend brought out a ton of big-name talent, including top Michigan target FL RB Demetrius Hart (with an enormous HT to MGoShoe, who was all over this topic). ESPN's Jamie Newberg:
Hart, a small and compact running back who is ultraquick and explosive, was impressive in each game for the Southeast. He made a ton of big plays and some great catches.
"It was a couple of great days," Hart said. "I think the key was that we, as a team, bonded early. I was just happy I got to contribute the way I did."
The Orlando Sentinel says:
Hart, who earlier in pool play had nine receptions in one game for 99 yards and six receptions for 91 yards in another, had a 15-yard touchdown reception in the championship game.
Hart merely fell in SoFlaFootball's "Other Players to Catch My Eye" category:
Running back Dee Hart (Dr. Phillips) excels catching the ball out of the backfield and has some shake to him with the ball in his hands. I can see him being very versatile running back lining up both in the backfield and in the slot at the next level.
For more on Hart's performances, check out MGoShoe's stream-of-Twitter-consciousness on mgoboard. In recruiting updates, Hart has now dropped Auburn from consideration, and is willing to go on the record that Michigan leads for his services. A neutral party putting that in writing is a big deal:
"I would say Michigan is 75 percent," Hart said. Leaving the possibility that he might commit to Alabama at 25 percent. "I like the area at Michigan," Hart said. "You know I'm from Florida, so I've never really had all four seasons and I like that. I like the fans. They have a great fan base up there. They also have great programs up there, like their business program and that's what I want to go into is business management."
A decision on his visit for the UConn or Iowa/Michigan State is possible. Dee was recently interviewed by local news. The most important quote:
"Football means the most. Girls gonna come and go, but football, that's something forever. Football; hands down."
So I guess that's what Rich Rodriguez means when he says he wants guys who "love football." Dee also gives a shoutout to FL QB commit Kevin Sousa in the interview.
Other Camp and Combine News
A bunch of other targets, some of them surprising, were also in attendance. FL S Karlos Williams may visit Michigan, potentially with Hart (and Clinton-Dix?!), which would be a major coup for the Wolverines. FL S HaSean Clinton-Dix still maintains that he is solid to Bama:
"Still 100 percent. I'm committed to that," he said. "I respect the fact they still recruit me and I give them my full attention when they call. You never know what can happen and I might need something back on."
Though Clinton-Dix says he's solid, you never know what can happen if you get these kids on campus. MI WR DeAnthony Arnett, who has dropped Michigan, also impressed at Gridirion Kings.
In other camp/combine/competition news, Florida's annual Friday Night Lights summer camp happened over the weekend as well. FL QB Commit Kevin Sousa showed up to compete, and the Gainesville Sun's Edward Aschoff says he looked good:
Yeah he looked real sharp liked him a lot RT @varsityblue @EdAschoffGSUN Did you see#Michigan commit Kevin Sousa at FNL? How did he look?
Victors_Valiant and Scout.com's Chad Simmons also liked Sousa's performance. VV noted that his footwork was good, and Simmons said he threw some good passes.
Visits and Decisions
MI RB Justice Hayes announces tomorrow at 11am, as I told you in last week's Recruitin' post. Michigan and Notre Dame are the top contenders, but I think he'll pick the Irish.
IL OL Chris Bryant had a positive visit to Ann Arbor over the weekend, as he told Tom. Tom predicts that a commitment may be coming soon, so keep an eye out for Hello: Christ Bryant. IN OL Nick Martin was on campus at the same time, though no commitment is expected.
FL OL Tony Posada should be announcing a college choice soon, along with his teammate, FL QB Phillip Ely, and possibly FL RB James Wilder. Posada blew off FNL camp last weekend, and the Gators picked up a couple linemen, so the Florida offer that he covets won't come. Michigan should to be Tony's choice:
The word is you really like Michigan.
They're one of my top four but I haven't made my final decision on them yet. Right now, until about two weeks from now, it's going to be an open game, an open game for anyone.
He claims to be open-ish, but his preference for Michigan shines through.
In upcoming visit news, TX LB Kellen Jones should be hitting campus this weekend. He's a top Michigan linebacker target, and a lifelong fan. If the visit goes well, there's a chance he'll commit to the maize-and-blue. Either way, he'll make a commitment before September.
The Oakland Press's Kosmo says that MI WR Commit Shawn Conway's Seaholm team should be vastly improved this year - if he's eligible to play. Hopefully he'll get to play some high school ball for the Maples this fall. Brian talked a bit about Conway (and his disciplinary issue this spring) yesterday.
FL WR/S Sammy Watkins has been spending lots of time at Clemson lately, but he's still feelin' the Wolverines:
[Watkins's coach Grant Redhead] expects Watkins to take his official visits from the group of Clemson, Miami, Florida, LSU, Alabama and Michigan. "I know he loved Michigan when he went up there. I'm thinking mid season he'll commit. He'll probably take at least three officials to his favorites. If not mid-season, then after the season."
An official visit before his decision would be a very good thing, especially if the Wolverines can get his teammate, FL CB Dallas Crawford, in town at the same time.
Michigan is in the top two for FL WR Prince Holloway ($, info in header).
Local fluff on PA OL Paul Gaughan, who Michigan has looked at.
Michigan has offered NJ OL Josue Matias.
GA S Avery Walls enjoyed his Michigan visit a while back, and now, thanks to California Golden Blogs, we know how much:
"Yes sir, because I'm talking to a couple players that are being recruited by Michigan, like Avery Walls. I've had a chance to befriend him. We've been talking about them and he's been talking about how Michigan is a place I need to check out, and maybe set up an official with him so we can get up there at the same time. We're good friends now and we talk on the phone. He's trying to recruit me there I guess (laughing)."
That's elite GA DE Ray Drew. It sounds like Avery Walls is likely to end up in this class as long as the year goes according to plan, and he'll do everything in his power to get some other top prospects to commit. Drew said he'll be receptive to Walls's overtures should he commit to Michigan (H/T touchdown chad henne).
I've added FL LB Ramik Wilson to the board, as GBW finds him relevant enough to post his Youtube highlight:
He's a run-stuffer, but he doesn't look his listed 6-3, 220 on the tape.
I forgot to mention this last week, but according to ESPN, CA CB/RB DeAnthony Thomas, a USC commit, plans to visit Michigan and Ohio State. Tom confirmed that he'll take on official if Rich Rodriguez offers, and once you get a kid on campus etc etc.
VA CB Demetrious Nicholson holds a Michigan offer.
Mini-Happy Trails
Though he said last week that he hasn't eliminated any schools, SC DE Gerald Dixon wants to stay in the Southeast.
FL WR Tacoi Sumler narrowed to a top 5 that does not include Michigan and then picked Oregon.
Dorial Green-Beckham isn't the only wide receiver Michigan's looking at in Missouri. MO WR Jehu Chesson is also "high on Michigan" ($, info in header).
Local fluff on MI OL Kelby Latta, who already holds offers from Michigan State and Wisconsin.
MI CB Terry Richardson has received offers from Alabama and LSU ($, info in header). The hometown Wolverines have yet to offer the Cass Tech prospect, because he didn't make it to Michigan's summer camp. Once the coaches get the chance to evaluate some junior film, don't be surprised if he get an offer.

Shawn Conway Goes Blue
Setting off an mgofirestorm of sorts, MI WR Shawn Conway committed to the Wolverines at Junior Day on Saturday. Conway is the third commitment in the 2011 class.
According to Scout, his junior stats were 79 receptions for 800 yards and 10 TDs, 500 yards in kick/punt returns, and two interception returns. His stats are not, as reported incorrectly here earlier, 11 receptions for a couple hundred yards or so (makes sense, as there are 12 receptions for exactly 300 yards in his highlight video):
Since the commitment (and resulting uproar), news has come out that Conway was drawing interest from schools like Florida prior to his commitment, sure to please Michigan fans. Local commit article.
New Offers
FL RB Andrew Buie should be one of the top running backs nationally, and the Wolverines have offered, along with the likes of Ole Miss, and North Carolina, while Florida ha shown some interest. He sounds like a great fit for Michigan's offense:
"Andrew is more shifty. He is better in space and more versatile..."
Scott believes that a versatile player like Buie is of high value, given the versatile nature of offensive schemes in college football.
"With the way the game is going as far as the spread offenses go, it's good for a player not to get locked into only being able to do just one thing," he said. "It's good to not just say he's a single-back guy or a spread-type guy. You need to be able to do it all."
Buie, who attends the same high school as 2010 Michigan target and Rutgers signee Rashad Knight, was named 1st-team All-State in Florida's Class 1A at running back.
Michigan has offered OH WR Devin Smith. He hails from Massillon Washington High School, the alma mater of Shawn Crable and Justin Turner. According to Cincinnati.com (which confirms the offer), the 6-2, 175-pounder runs a 4.4-second 40-yard dash, and also holds offers from the likes of Cincinnati and West Virginia. Michigan and Michigan State are Smith's current top two.
Michigan offered IN OL Tony Springmann a while back, but I forgot to mention it. The Rivals story entitled "Rodriguez offers junior offensive lineman" redirects to Springmann's profile. He took a junior day visit and is a decent possibility.
Though we already knew about the offer to his teammate, WR Dondi Kirby, it looks as though PA LB Armstead Williams from Monroeville Gateway has also received an offer from the Wolverines. Both are participating in the ESPN Rise Nike football combine at Pitt.
Michigan has offered VA LB Curtis Grant, and he plans to visit Ann Arbor during the recruiting process ($, info in header). Tom posted junior highlights of Grant and his teammate Brendan Riddick on mgoboard.
Per the Twitter of TomVH, FL DB Dallas Crawford has received a Michigan offer.
Visit News
OH QB Cardale Jones (pictured at right) plans to head up to Michigan for the next junior day, which I believe is the Night of Champions on March 13th ($, info in header). He hails from Cleveland Glenville, so it will be tough for the Wolverines to land him, but if Ohio State is focused on Braxton Miller there's a chance. Tom also reported on Twitter that Jones has his own website, though it's a little bare right now. It will be interesting to see if some content goes up on it over the course of his recruitment.
NC QB Marquise Williams "like[s] coach Rich Rodriguez" and intends to visit Michigan at some point in the recruiting process ($, info in header).
OH TE Ray Hamilton was at the junior day last weekend, as ($ info in header). Though I brought this up last week, I should give this article its fair due in this space:
"Michigan is very well known, not in the past couple years but the program itself and how dominant they are. I think Coach Rodriguez is doing a good job on getting them back to where they need to be. It was definitely a special offer."
Rodriguez played at West Virginia with Hamilton's father, and was one of the prospects tat was getting the most attention from the coaches (to my eye at least) at Junior Day, which he enjoyed ($, info in header). Hamilton will take his time making a decision.
In other news out of Michigan's Junior Day last weekend, OH DT Kevin Williams told Tom that Michigan still leads, despite Spartanmag.com reports to the contrary. Williams's coach thinks he's kind of good:
"Being a former college coach and NFL coach, I knew he was going to blow up when I put his film out there and started making the calls," Marrow said. "My belief is that Kevin Williams is not just the top D-tackle in the Midwest, he is one of the top D-tackles in the country. I'm talking top five."
That's from Sam Webb in the News and contains many more quotes like that.
CA DE Charles Burks plans to visit Ann Arbor this spring.
Burks was among the top pass-rushers in the state last year. He had 52 tackles and 14 sacks during the regular season but broke his leg in the Chargers' first-round game and had to sit out the rest of the playoffs.
He doesn't have any offers yet, but the Night of Champions might be a good opportunity for him to land one from Michigan. Despite growing up a Buckeye fan, Michigan is one of his favorite schools.
OH CB/WR Cheatem Norrils was in attendance for Michigan's Junior Day (Scout freebie). His only scholarship offer to this point is from Toledo, but he is very interested in Michigan. If the Wolverines decide they want him, his relationship with Kevin Koger could help land him.
Other 2011 Recruiting
Sam Webb talks to TX RB Jarrell Oliver (who holds a Michigan offer), about whether the Wolverines are at the top of his list ($, info in header). The question about whether UM is the team to beat is the type that is always answered with some version of "yes."
TomVH reports that MI FB/LB Joey Kerridge enjoyed Michigan's junior day, and may get news of an offer sometime this week. The link has a highlight video embed, as well.
Though GA OL David Andrews received a Michigan offer last week ($, info in header), he has already committed to Georgia.
Landing Demar Dorsey in the class of 2010 has gotten Michigan's foot in the door at Boyd Anderson High School, which boasts a hell of a lot of Division-1 talent each year, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Aside from LB Kent Turene from the class of 2011, there are a few guys in this class that might get onto the radar later, and even more underclassmen.
Removed FL S Karlos Williams, who has committed to Florida State. This was probably a long time coming, as he was always a Florida State lean, and his brother is a 'Nole.
Fluff on FL S Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix and FL CB Nick Waisome.
OH CB Doran Grant should be one of the top prospects in the state of Ohio for the 2011 class, and Sam Webb profiled him in the Detroit News last week. He has a lot of connections to Michigan State, but that won't prevent him from considering the Wolverines:
"(Last week) I talked to (Rich Rodriguez) and he said he was really excited now that he got the 2010 class signed," Grant recalled. Now he was going to start on 2011 and he said I was one of the main targets. I'm going to go up there for junior day, talk to him in the office, sit down and learn more about the school, and just check out the facilities and maybe some players."
I'm not sure if Grant made it in for Junior Day, but it sounds like, at the very least, he'll give the Wolverines a fair shake.
Michigan fans were hoping for commitments from MI OL Anthony Zettel and/or MI DE Brennen Beyer at Junior Day, but that didn't happen. Both probably going to take another couple visits (such as Zettel's upcoming Notre Dame trip) before making decisions, but the Wolverines still seem to lead for both. According to Tom, Beyer wants to return to Ann Arbor later this week, which is certainly a good sign.
2010 Walkon Update
MI OL Kristian Mateus, from Forest Hills Central (alma mater of yours truly) will be a preferred walkon this fall, according to the Grand Rapids Press, which apparently has copy editors who approve ledes like this:
Kristian Mateus, a standout football player at Forest Hills Central, has joined the list of University of Michigan football recruits even if his name isn't on a list just yet.
FAIL. Anyway, Mateus is huge (6-8, 285), and cites the opportunity presented by Michigan's walkon program in particular, as Rodriguez was a walkon himself and likes to see them emerge as contributors.
[Editor's note: the Press might not have copy editors anymore and by criticizing like so we are doomed to make a similarly dumb mistake in the near future.]
The Distant Future. The Year 2012
2012 MI LB James Ross from Orchard Lake Saint Mary's has received a Michigan offer ($, info in header) to go along with his scholarship from Michigan State. Coach Schuman from the National Underclassmen Combine Blog says Ross took home a numbers of honors from the combine this year:
James was the Top LB of the Class of 2012 and was U100 MVP at LB and Top Prospect Camp LB MVP. Expect 20 plus offers from James when all said and done.
More on the 2012 class as news comes out, but I won't cover it in any depth until the 2011 class is closer to completion.

Google Plans Wireless Networks In Emerging Markets 43
kgeiger writes "The next billion customers have to come from somewhere. The Wall Street Journal today reports that Google will fund, deploy, and manage wireless networks in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. From the article: 'The Silicon Valley company is deep in the throes of a multipronged effort to fund, build and help run wireless networks in emerging markets such as sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, said people familiar with the strategy. The wireless networks would be available to dwellers outside of major cities where wired Internet connections aren't available and could be used to improve Internet speeds in urban centers, these people said.'"

Database and support duo take on Oracle
Getting heavy
Posted in The Channel, 26th April 2006 07:14 GMT
Database spin-out Ingres is getting a little enterprise support from netCustomer in its unfolding strategy of challenging Oracle in the database market.
Customers using the Ingres open source database will receive enterprise application and database support from netCustomer, in a deal promising to "dramatically" lower the support costs for PeopleSoft and JD Edwards users.
Additionally, netCustomer said it would help customers move from "expensive proprietary databases" to Ingres 2006. Oracle was not mentioned directly, but netCustomer did go on to say Ingres is estimated to come in at half the cost of Oracle.
The expanded relationship between tiny Ingres and netCustomer, which forged a business providing third-party support to PeopleSoft and Oracle users, is clearly being offered as a way for customers to lower their IT costs by easing Oracle out of the equation.
The senior management and marketing ranks of Ingres - spun out from CA last year - are groaning under the weight of former Oracle heavy hitters and experts. These include chief executive Terry Garnett, chief financial officer Tom Berquist, chief technology officer Dave Dargo and chief communications officer Jim Finn.
Part of Ingres's strategy against Oracle has been to claim lower cost of ownership combined with enterprise-class features. Ingress is now targeting not just users of the Oracle database but also users of applications that Oracle took ownership of during the last year. A slowly emerging theme among business application providers is to use open source databases as their underlying platform to help lower costs. Hence SAP is working (separately) to certify MySQL with its software and Ingres is hoping to hook the interests of PeopleSoft and JD Edwards users.
For its part netCustomer claims to reduce customers' annual support costs by up to 50 per cent. Berquist said in a statement: "With its data centre track record, the now open-source Ingres will appeal to customers who are looking to uniformly lower their costs without sacrificing the reliability and performance they expect from their database platform."®

Heat-activated cover tape offers smoother peel, reduced chip stick and easier visual inspection
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electronic components manufacturers have a new option in cover tapes
used for packaging electronic components in tape and reel. The 3M
Electronic Solutions Division today announced the new 3M brand
Static Dissipative Heat Activated Adhesive Cover Tape 2679, which is
designed to seal electrical and electronic components into 3M
polycarbonate carrier tapes for transport or storage. The polyester,
adhesive film tape is designed to protect components from damage while
offering smoother peels and improved transparency for visual inspection.
The tape's heat-activated (HAA) cover tape seals with carrier tape
through a heat application.
Cover Tape 2679 incorporates improved static-dissipative technology to
provide a high level of protection from static events during transport
and storage, reducing damage to components sensitive to electro-static
discharge (ESD). The cover tape's improved surface resistance and stable
peel properties allow for a smooth, consistent peel from the carrier
tape. A smooth peel can help reduce the risk of component migration and
pick-and-place error.
The excellent transparency of Cover Tape 2679 enables better visual
inspection to see that components are properly placed in the carrier
tape, helping to prevent mis-picks. The cover tape's adhesive forms a
strong bond to polycarbonate carrier tape, decreasing the risk of
3M Cover Tape 2679 is available in 480-meter roll format in widths
ranging from 5.2 mm to 49.4 mm. The cover tape is RoHS* compliant.
About 3M Electronic Solutions Division – Transport
3M Electronic Solutions Division's Transport business, including its 3M
Tape & Reel products, provide a full range of standard and
custom carrier and cover tapes for protection of sensitive electronic
components. For more information on 3M's transport solutions, visit: http://3M.com/tapeandreel.

Milwaukee Bucks
Bucks Ticket Info
The Milwaukee Bucks finished the regular season at 38-44 which was good enough for 8th in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee featured one of the most dynamic backcourts in the league last season with Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings. They were also named team captains prior to the start of the '12-'13 season.
The good news for Bucks fans last season was that they did qualify for the playoffs. The bad news was that as the 8-seed, that meant they would have to face off against last season's NBA Champions, the Miami Heat. The Heat took care of the Bucks with relative ease, sweeping the Bucks out of the playoffs. Milwaukee did show some encouraging signs throughout last season, though. With a young roster that features former UNC star John Henson and Kentucky guard Doron Lamb, the Bucks' future looks very bright. Don't be surprised if Milwaukee improves on their record significantly next season.
Check out our great selection of Milwaukee Bucks tickets and order yours today. From opening night to the final game of the regular season, we have tickets to every game on the 2016-2017 Milwaukee Bucks schedule. And should the Bucks reach the postseason, we will have a great supply of Milwaukee Bucks playoff tickets as well.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, September has been a time when governments place a concentrated focus on national preparedness by hosting observance events, initiating educational outreach campaigns and conducting citizen training and other activities meant to increase the preparedness capabilities of our nation's citizens and businesses.
While no individual or business can prepare for every conceivable disaster, preparedness starts with a "risk assessment" to determine which disaster has the greatest likelihood of occurring in their community. Probable risks for those living in northern Illinois include flooding, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, ice storms and blizzards. A functional risk assessment is the foundation for all preparedness planning for your family or business.
Preparedness planning is critical to making sure you adequately manage the risks identified in the assessment. One premiere online resource for residents and businesses is www.ready.gov, which includes a host of preparedness resources to help you safeguard your family or business. In addition, a fully developed plan should consider non-home locations such as a theater, library, church, workplace, school or shopping mall to determine what to do if an emergency occurred at that location.
Key elements of a preparedness plan include a list of emergency public information sources that help you take appropriate precautions in the initial stages of a disaster, such as text or e-mail alerts, radio and TV broadcast alerts, Carol Stream City Watch and severe weather sirens. Another essential plan element includes assembling the needed resources to allow you to either evacuate or shelter-in-place, which is a decision strongly influenced by the specific circumstances of the disaster event. Factors to keep in mind in preparing your emergency plan can be found at www.ready.gov/considerations
Because a disaster can occur suddenly and without warning, familiarity with your preparedness plan is best developed by practicing it before an emergency occurs. Planning, training, drilling and refining is a continuous preparedness cycle that never ends for individuals, families or response agencies.
September is a time when Carol Stream residents can join with citizens from all across the nation to better prepare themselves and their families for when the next disaster occurs.
Perry Johnson is the emergency management coordinator of the Carol Stream Fire Protection District

KAlarm lets you schedule personal messages to display, audio files to play, commands to execute, or emails to send. Among its options, it allows you to choose the message font and color, recurrence schedule, whether to display an advance reminder, whether to speak the message or play a sound when it is displayed, and whether to cancel the alarm if it can't be triggered on time (e.g. if you are logged out at the time). As well as using the graphical interface to configure alarms, you can use the command line, and there is a D-Bus/DCOP interface for other applications.
Arno's IPTABLES Firewall Script is a secure stateful firewall for both single and multi-homed machines. It supports NAT and SNAT, port forwarding, ADSL ethernet modems with both static and dynamically assigned IPs, MAC address filtering, stealth port scan detection, DMZ support, protection against SYN/ICMP flooding, experimental IPv6 support, multi-interface/aliased-IP support, and extensive user definable logging with rate limiting to prevent log flooding. It has plugin support to add extra features (like SSH Brute Force protection and (Racoon) IPSEC support). It is easy to configure and highly customizable. A filter script that makes your firewall log more readable is also included.
MuseScore lets you notate and compose music easily with your keyboard, your mouse, or a MIDI keyboard. You can print beautifully engraved sheet music or export it as PDF or PNG. You can play your score, transpose it, and save it as audio or MIDI file. MuseScore also supports MusicXML to let you share your composition with other scorewriters. MuseScore is often advertised as a cost effective alternative for Sibelius and Finale.
Dabo is a three-tier, cross-platform database application development framework, written in Python with the wxPython GUI toolkit. The controls in Dabo's UI are easily bound to data by setting two properties. The business object is designed to afford you complete control over the validation and handling of your data. The cursor classes are abstracted from their backend implementations, allowing for easy support of nearly any backend database. Dabo's design and approach has been inspired by RAD database development tools such as Visual FoxPro, Delphi, and Visual Basic.
Internet DJ console is a graphical shoutcast/icecast client that runs under GTK+ and the JACK audio connection kit. In short, it's an Internet radio app for making a live radio show or podcast. Features include two main media players with a crossfader, a jingle player, microphone signal processing (compressor and noise gate), IRC track announcements with X-Chat, an automatic stream shut-off timer, MP3 or Ogg streaming and recording at various bit rates, aux input for connecting external JACK aware applications, and audio level meters.
NetCrack is cluster software developed to distribute a hashing algorithm's cracking process work using a brute force attack. Currently, it only supports the two most commonly used hashing algorithms: MD5 and SHA-1. Support is included for MySQL, safe mode, and others. It works like a client/server application, where the server is unique for each cluster network and its job is to distribute the cracking process work, coordinate the nodes, and prevent connections and data integrity errors.
httpico is yet another lightweight HTTP server. It implements a few HTML rewriting rules delineated by '<?pico>' tags, and makes it fairly easy to add more straight into the C code. It does not have complete HTTP standards compliance. It also contains a 'genstats' log analysis tool.
An interactive Web spreadsheet allowing concurrent table editing.
A modified version of Usermin just for IMAP Web mail.

It takes the place of a smoker with an offset firebox and is a whole lot easier to control the temp. For instance, you can set it for 220F and it will last for 14-16 hours. Some people have said it last 20 hrs at low heat. You get the good smoke flavor and smoke rings and the meat retains its moisture.
When I cook my ribs the other day I had it going for about four hours and it only used a little bit of charcoal, like 10%. Once you close the vents the fire goes out and you save your charcoal.
The flavor the meat cooked in the BGE is great.
I got the largest size (XL) and it was $999. The large size (L) was about $700 if I remember correctly. I bought about $400 worth of accessories like a stand and plate setter. The whole set up with everything you need will be around $1500 for the largest one.
I would recommend the largest one you can afford.
Tell the truth.
You got this "Egg" thingy at BB&B, didn't you? :D
OK my family came over this afternoon and I decided I just couldn't serve Cedar Plank Salmon. I have been a hetrosexual my whole life and I wasn't going to turn queer now.
I decided to have pizza instead. The Big Green Egg works great like a wood burning high temp oven.
We fixed the pizzas up and got the BGE up to 650 degrees.
The crust was nicely brown with a good smoke flavor to the pizza. Everything was perfect. Best pizza I had in a long time.

Vatican City, Sep 13, 2012 / 08:52 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The Vatican voiced its "firmest possible condemnation" of the fatal attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four Americans including the ambassador to the country.
"Nothing, in fact, can justify the activity of terrorist organizations and homicidal violence," read the statement issued by Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J. Sept. 13.
"Along with our sadness, mourning and prayers for the victims, we again express the hope that, despite this latest tragedy, the international community may discover the most favorable ways to continue its commitment in favor of peace in Libya and the entire Middle East."
Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens was killed Tuesday Sept. 11 in a fire started after the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was stormed by violent mobs.
The 52-year-old, who was a native of California, had been a career diplomat with the U.S. Foreign Service since 1991. United States officials are now investigating whether the attack was planned by militant jihadist groups.
The violence was sparked by the posting on YouTube of extracts of a low-budget U.S. film mocking the Prophet Mohammed, the 6-7th century founder of Islam.
Similar scenes of unrest have now been witnessed across North Africa and the Middle East, most notably in Yemen and Egypt. In the Yemeni capital of Sanaa Sept.13 demonstrators stormed the grounds of the US embassy and burned the American flag before being driven back by security forces. Reports of protests are also emerging from Tunisia, Sudan and Morocco.
Yesterday at the conclusion of his weekly General Audience, the Pope called upon the Christians in the Middle East to help create peace in their often troubled countries.
"I exhort all Christians of the Middle East, both those born there and the newly arrived, to be builders of peace and architects of reconciliation," said the Pope at the Vatican Sept. 12.
"Let us pray to God that he may fortify the faith of Christians in Lebanon and the Middle East, and fill them with hope."

I have a Culligan reseverse osmosis H-30S. It was hooked up in my house when I bought the house and it worked fine. I removed it due to some reno's and now am re installing it however the Culligan user guide is terrible and doesn't explain much. What I need to know is my Culligan faucet has 3 hose inputs. I need to know which one goes where, what area the drain hose comes from. Ideal is a diagram/picture explaining it.
Anyone able to help?
