British government plans to create a giant database which would contain information about every phone call, email and Internet visit was blasted by the man in charge of prosecuting terrorism in England and Wales. Sir Ken MacDonald, Director of Public Prosecution(DPP) warned about the dangers of allowing concern about terrorism to be used as a wedge in destroying the very freedoms his nation was fighting to preserve. "We need to take very great care not to fall into a way of life in which freedom's back is broken by the relentless pressure of a security state. Technology gives the state enormous powers of access to knowledge and information about each of us, and the ability to collect and store it at will." He urged that modern technology be used wisely to protect the rights of people rather than being used to emulate the very same people society is fighting.
Sir Ken MacDonald is concerned about the future as well as the present. Today, a government argues it needs the data base to fight "terrorism," but doesn't creation of such a database open the door for some government in the future to use it in other ways? No current government can provide assurances about the future.

Dear all,
i had a problem with my PC, when i try to boot Backtrack 2 on it.. the error says :
sky2 0000:02:00.0: cannot assign irq 0
I think, the error came from my nic, so i turn it off on my bios (i use eth onboard, on my motherboard, ABIT AX-78). it's done, and the system, can boot normally, but, i don't have an active eth now..
The thing i want to ask is: Can i solved this problem? how could i activated the nic without this error? have anyone got the same problem with me?
Thanks for any help..
You might try going into the BIOS, and disabling some things that may be using IRQ resources. Some things I would disable would be any serial ports or things to that matter. This would theoriatically allow the system to use a different IRQ.
However, it might not even be an IRQ conflict at all, and if this is the case then my suggestion to you won't work.
It's worth a shot though, and would be an easy fix!

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 20, January 30, 1995
ARSC T3D Upgrades
The next month or two will be a busy time for the ARSC T3D. We will be upgrading the following:
- 2MW to 8MW per PE, tentatively set for February 7th and 8th
- The T3D OS, MAX 1.1 to MAX 1.2, set for January 31st
- The T3D Programming Environment (libraries, tools and compilers) P.E. 1.1 to P.E. 1.2 sometime in the next two months.
Next T3D Class at ARSC
Introduction to Programming the CRAY T3D
Dates: February 8 - 10, 1995 Time: 9:00 AM - noon, 1:00 - 5:00 PM Location: University of Alaska Fairbanks main campus, room TBA Instructor: Mike Ess, Parallel Applications Consultant Course Description: To satisfy increasing computational demands, computers of the future must have multiple processors executing on the same program. The Cray T3D is a step in this direction. The Cray T3D, a MPP or Massively Parallel Processor, consists of 128 processors attached to the Cray Y-MP.
This class will cover the characterization and history of MPPs. With this background the students will experience how the T3D approaches the problem of executing a program in parallel. The class will cover the three programming paradigms for extracting parallelism:
- Data-sharing, as with Fortran 90
- Work-sharing, as with Craft Fortran and
- Message-passing as implemented with PVM or shmem
- Performance measurement and tools
- Debugging techniques and tools
Application ProcedureThere is no charge for attendance, but enrollment will be limited to 15. In the event of greater demand, applicants will be selected by ARSC staff based on qualifications, need, and order and completeness of application. The class may be cancelled if there are fewer than 5 applicants.
Send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with the following information:
- course name
- your name
- UA status (e.g., undergrad, grad, Asst. Prof.)
- institution/dept.
- phone
- advisor (if you are a student)
- denali userid
- preferred e-mail address
- describe programming experience
- describe need for this class
I/O on the T3D and Y-MPIn investigating the prospect of implementing Phase II I/O on the T3D, we at ARSC have begun measuring I/O speeds both on the Y-MP and the T3D. Measuring I/O is a complicated situation because:
It is always implemented with shared resources:
- shared physical disks
- shared I/O devices
- shared system buffers
- It depends on the operating system to service user requests and the availability of the OS depends on system load.
Its environment is not uniform across Y-MP systems
- what physical devices?
- SSD or BMR or LDcache in memory?
- T3D or Y-MP?
A rich set of user options are available:
- formatted or unformatted?
- sequential or direct?
- record size large or small?
Table 1 Y-MP speeds (MW/sec) for unformatted I/O on two different file systems array size /u1 file system /tmp file system (in words) reads writes reads writes ---------- ------ ------ ------ ------ 1024 13.272 13.118 13.289 13.136 2048 22.613 22.456 21.866 22.428 4096 33.306 33.764 33.561 33.761 8192 45.969 46.082 45.968 45.948 16384 55.130 55.903 55.163 54.907 32768 0.365 12.266 25.676 25.878 65536 1.103 1.319 25.725 23.909 131072 1.014 0.874 22.260 22.037 262144 0.912 0.967 21.106 21.978Of course speed increases with the size of the transfer but only while the size of the buffer is larger than the size of the transfers. The high speed on the /tmp file system is due (among other things) to the LDcache which is like a ram disk used as a buffer and is made out of some of the 1GW of memory on ARSC's Y-MP. (So higher I/O speeds in another reason why users should work out of /tmp, rather than their home directories that are not LDcached.)
Next, we compare the Y-MP uniprocessor speeds to those of a single T3D PE running the same program:
Table 2 Y-MP and T3D speeds (MW/sec) for unformatted I/O on the /tmp file system array size /u1 file system /tmp file system (in words) reads writes reads writes ---------- ------ ------ ------ ------ 1024 13.289 13.136 3.806 5.144 2048 21.866 22.428 6.046 6.171 4096 33.561 33.761 7.220 7.301 8192 45.968 45.948 7.974 8.025 16384 55.163 54.907 8.400 8.426 32768 25.676 25.878 3.181 3.292 65536 25.725 23.909 3.309 3.208 131072 22.260 22.037 2.833 2.740 262144 21.106 21.978 2.853 2.819The big difference between I/O on the Y-MP and the T3D is that the I/O on the T3D is done by the mppexec agent that is just another Y-MP job competing with all other Y-MP jobs in the mix (ARSC's Y-MP is always running at more than 95% utilized). The degradation beyond 16K operations on the T3D must be due to some buffer other than the LDcache buffer because both writes are to files on the /tmp file system.
In all the above timings I am running something like:
parameter( ia1size = 1024 ) real a1( ia1size ) . . . call asnunit( iun, '-a /tmp/ess/fort.12', ier ) open( iun, form = 'unformatted' ) t1 = rtc() write(iun) a1 t1 = rtc() - t1 time = t1 * .000 000 006 666 speed = a1size / timeand in this case the compiler knows the length of the write from the declarations of the array a1. But if I rewrite the write statement in a more flexible way to:
write( iun ) ( a1( i ), i = 1, ia1size )now the performance on the T3D goes to hell because the T3D compiler doesn't treat as a special case the implied do on the I/O statement like the Y-MP compiler does.
Table 3 Y-MP and T3D times (MW/sec) for unformatted I/O with 2nd read/write construct array size /u1 file system /tmp file system (in words) reads writes reads writes ---------- ------ ------ ------ ------ 1024 0.066 0.067 13.361 13.480 2048 0.067 0.067 22.439 22.442 4096 0.067 0.067 33.953 34.211 8192 0.067 0.067 46.392 46.397 16384 0.067 0.067 55.360 55.217 32768 0.066 0.066 25.136 25.456 65536 0.066 0.066 24.863 25.043 131072 0.066 0.066 21.975 21.816 262144 0.066 0.066 21.987 22.012I'm sure this is only a temporary difference between the Y-MP and T3D compilers and that in the future the T3D compilers will be as smart as the Y-MP compiler for such an implied do loop on the I/O construct. I/O is a complicated situation and if you find some insight or technique, I'm sure we'd all like to hear about it.

I may have caused the loss by putting back the frames after honey extraction.
Hi guys, This is the introductory video on my hive:http://youtu.be/6zCXp6EAT1A
I have been told by the local apiary that I should change the lid from a telescopic to a migratory one. Apparently this will allow more bees to fit in the hive on top of the frames and in turn allow the bees more access to chase beetles. Does anyone have any opinions to share on this?
In your foundationless frames do you still use wire to help support the building of comb?

TPWD Seeking Redesign Bids For Galveston Island State Park
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is seeking a top-notch architectural/design firm to come up with a state-of-the-art, sustainable design for rebuilding hurricane-ravaged Galveston Island State Park.
When planning and design costs are known and future monies become available, TPWD will redevelop the popular seaside state park as a flagship project. The 2,000-acre park, which features more than a mile of public beach access and camping, only reopened this summer after being closed for six months due to catastrophic damage from Hurricane Ike in September 2008.
Earlier this year, the Texas Legislature allocated a portion of the state's Hurricane Ike recovery funds to TPWD to hire a consultant to develop a master plan to design and rebuild the state park. It is not known when funding for actual construction of new facilities will become available.
TPWD's Infrastructure Division has extended its original Request for Qualifications period to provide adequate time for all interested candidates to respond. The chosen firm will help create a Galveston Island State Park master plan for redeveloping the park as a model of resource conservation featuring eco-friendly facilities that would have minimal environmental impact. The goal is to promote the park's natural beauty and provide a wide range of recreational activities, while ensuring site sustainability through creating its own energy and recycling waste products. The use of solar photovoltaics, rainwater collection and other renewable energy generating methods are envisioned in the park's redevelopment.
"Galveston Island State Park has the opportunity to be rebuilt within a region that has now become more urban, making it ever more important to design and plan a park that provides a sense of place to a wide spectrum of the population," said Gordon Bohmfalk, the division's head of planning and design. "Planning will require the organization of infrastructure that serves to engage the public with the unique environment. It is Nature that is the primary asset here; its buildings, cabins, roadways and campsites all installed to become a part of it and protect it."
Professional master planning and design service firms interested in bidding on the project are required to have a representative attend a pre-submittal meeting at 1:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 23 at TPWD's Austin headquarters at 4200 Smith School Road. Respondents will then be required to submit qualifications by Nov. 19. Company representatives who attended the Sept. 18 pre-submittal conference need not attend the October session.
For more information, contact contract manager John Pena at (512) 389-8408, or visit the TPWD Construction Bid Opportunities Web page.
Galveston Island State Park is open seven days a week and offers full services on the bay side and limited camping and day use facilities on the beach side until a master plan is developed, environmental assessment completed and permanent facilities rebuilt. To facilitate the reopening of the beach side, electrical power and water have been restored, and a structure has been moved in to serve as temporary headquarters. The original headquarters building and all other beachside facilities were destroyed by Hurricane Ike.
Galveston Island State Park occupies a sliver of land at the midway point of the barrier island about six miles southwest of the western tip of the popular sea wall. The bay side provides public access to about 600 acres of grasslands with coastal scrub and scattered oak mottes, as well as hundreds of additional acres of saltwater sloughs, wildlife-rich wetlands and tidal bayous.
Galveston Island State Park hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The park office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. The park entry fee for persons 13 and older is $5.
Visitors can reach Galveston Island State Park from FM 3005 (Seawall Boulevard). For more information, call the park at (409) 737-1222.

Federal officials at the US Department of Health and Human Services are issuing threats because someone working for the Commonwealth Catholic Charities showed charity to an immigrant teenager and helped her obtain an abortion. David Siegel,of the Department of Health said the federal government "supports human life and we take that responsibility seriously."
Federal law prohibits use of government money for use in abortions. One of the hallmarks of the Bush administration is ensuring no one will obtain information about either birth control or abortion. It is apparent someone at the Catholic Charities decided, for whatever reason, the girl should be assisted in having an abortion.
No one apparently is at all interested what the girl desired.

This thread is making me seriously consider going to an in-state college...

|My girl and I drive up to our local mountain every week on our off days. We budget our money accordingly. And a group of us take two 7-8 day trips to CO, one in January and the other in march. It's not cheap but it's worth every penny. I would definitely try to ride more days then just take one big trip!!!!

I know this is a bit old but, buy your season pass at most location when the season is OVER. You save big. I paid $429 for 7 springs and received a cash discount of 5%. They are like $750 now.
Snowshoe is by far the closest/best place for you to enjoy. Especially mid week. If you really like to ride, cupp runn and shays revenge are all you need. Speed lift up, speed down. Repeat 4 or 5 times, stop and have two beers, repeat. That's my story.
I drive there from Pittsburgh, and stay the night at silver creek or wherever I can find cheap on VRBO. Split with whomever wants to come with. Many of these places just have keys waiting for you at the hotel who manages the property for the owners. They have no idea you are putting 3 or 4 people into a 1 bedroom or studio. $99/nt - $120 is what you look for. Look for deals on the lift tickets too.
I also used to do alot of night riding to save money. I dont like the cold (or hot) but layer up and Im good. Less people, less mouth breathers usually at night especially mid week. Sure you are tired the next day but, usually thinking HEY I could do that again tomorrow!
Meet a new boyfriend , with an adventure mindset that also has a firm footing on his career and you should be set. Enjoy now because once you get older and life progresses, you might find you never return to it unless you take your kids. I know alot of gals that say they are going to go riding when we throw parties at my house that used to ride, but in their 30's now they have kids and just dont have the time or money anymore.
I personally picked riding up when I was 39. I'm 41 now and going into my 3rd solid year. 2nd year with a season pass and looking forward to the resort swap program they also have with our passes. 7spring, HV, Wisp , SnowShoe and a few more all have a swap program where oyu buy your pass and get a free any time pass for any other resort, then all passes therein at those resorts are 50% off! I went for the cheaper resort last year and hit many other resorts on road trips for the free tickets. All I paid for was the room.
IN short however, if I were you, I wouldnt bank on Utah or the west. You might have bad luck and find that there is nothing but old packed powder , rain, or worse, icey conditions like we see in the east. Best to not put all your eggs in one basket.
Ride at night on the weekends. Ride days during the weekdays if possible. Take a mini trip to snowshoe if possible, or find a ski club in your area for weekend trips.
Also, for trips out west, ski clubs are the way to go. For example we have a group going out to Park City in early march for a week. The lodging , tickets, and breakfasts, including airfare is like $1000. Yes that's alot but, when oyu consider airfare,hotel, and lodging, 7 days for 1k is CHEAP. Booking that on my own would easily cost double or triple!

I'll put it this way: I am an AVID snowboarder. I have been salivating over the fact that it's only like two months away from the start of the local season. It just kills me to have to fill up the gas tank every other day during snowboarding season Any advice or suggestions?
|I don't think I could see myself doing any bus trips. I'm too impatient to do the speed limit! I've carpooled trips to the slopes with friends before and it seems like there is always that one person who doesn't want to wake up before 9am or the person who gets their boots wet on the slopes and wants to leave early. Certainly not saying that is how everyone is, but you come across them from time to time :b

I live in MD close to DC, so I'm about a 1.5 hr drive from Liberty and my folks also have a TimeShare at Massenutten. What I did was sign up at meetup.com and joined 3 snowboarding groups with people in the DMV area. So for this season that should allow for plenty of carpooling and bus trips to the local mountains as well as Vermont. So I did the math in how many trips it would take for the season pass to pay itself off, how many days I would be able to go throughout out the season (work and weather permitting) and how many of those days would I be going to other diffrent resorts. I just decided to get the Advantage Card it gives me about 40% off lift tickets at Liberty, Whitetail, and Roundtop and every 6th visit is free. All for $84.00 which will pay itself off easy.

Arsène Wenger admits he made an exception to his transfer policy by signing Per Mertesacker.
The German defender, who stands at 6ft 6ins tall, joined Arsenal from Werder Bremen on transfer deadline day to reinforce the manager's defensive options. Wenger concedes he wouldn't normally buy a player of the 26-year-old's physique but believes he adds different qualities to his backline.
Mertesacker impressed on his Arsenal debut against Swansea at the weekend and is expected to continue alongside Laurent Koscielny for Tuesday's trip to Borussia Dortmund.
"Usually, I look at the quality of the player and not at his size," he said. "Because we play a more technical game, I choose smaller players.
"But he is a calming presence, he has over 70 caps with Germany so he has experience and people forget he is only 26 years old.
"He must get used to the pace of the game. It is an issue because he was surprised by that but overall he has qualities we need in our team.
"He reads well the game, has good communication with the other players and he knows how important it is to communicate. That will play a big part in our season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

First I will tell you that I am also not a body man or expert at painting.
I have been working on getting a Chevrolet Van ready for painting and I will tell you that to get anything even close to a nice paint job is a great deal of work!!!
I have now completed about 95% of the body work but to do it right takes many many hours of hard work and I am not yet to the painting stage.
What you did to your friends car is a real learning experience and the whole painting thing is very complicated between using the right paint, hardener, gun, pressures, and primers.
There are just so many different things that go into making the final product look great.
You did a very good job and you should be proud because for a first time job that looks good.
Little Painting.
Over the past month I've been helping my best friend get his 84 Cutlass ready for paint. I'm not a body man and neither is he. My brother is self taught in paint and body, so he told us what to do and we did the prep work. My brother did the spraying. We didn't have a booth so it was done outside.
We used all PPG material. The car is painted GM bright blue, aka Iroc Blue, aka Electric blue. The paint was BC Global, and the clear coat is Glamour clear. We used a light dusting of .025 Chrome metal flake. The spraying was finished on Sunday, tomorrow we'll be picking up the 2000 grit and sanding the clear. When spring rolls around we'll be spraying it with another run of clear then sanding out and buffing. Thus far were really pleased with how it came out. I wanted to see what yall thought. Thanks for looking.

Information For...
2008 Distinguished Alumnus
Dan M. Harris, Jr.
Assistant Chief Patrol Agent, Marfa Sector, Marfa Texas
Ever since Dan Harris was a child, he knew that he wanted to be in law enforcement. After all, there were five generations of law enforcement officers in his family. As a senior in high school, he contacted George Lawless about the law enforcement program at SPC.
"Mr. Lawless became my mentor and my guide," Harris said. "I wouldn't ever trade the experience I had at SPC. It was everything I thought it would be and more."
A graduate of Seagraves High School, he attended SPC from 1987-89 and received an associate of arts degree in criminal justice. He began his professional career as a police officer with the San Angelo Police Department in 1990, becoming the 14th member of his family to carry a badge. While on the force, he continued his college studies at Angelo State University, where he earned a bachelor of arts degree in psychology in 1994.
Harris returned to South Plains College as an instructor in the law enforcement program from 1993-1995. He said coming back to the place he held in such high esteem was a wonderful experience.
"Being a young officer, I could bring my experiences to the classroom," Harris said. "I found that I could help prepare the students for the streets. It was very inspirational."
In May 1995, Harris took a job as a patrol agent with the U.S. Border Patrol. After a five-month academy in Artesia, N.M., he was assigned to the El Paso Sector, where he also served as a sector emergency medical technician.
Over the next four years, he was responsible for enforcing immigration and naturalization laws of the United States. He provided oral and written testimony in criminal proceedings, conducted training and evaluation of Border Patrol Academy graduates, authored and implemented the El Paso Sector Funeral Procedures/Honor Guard Manual and served on the El Paso Sector Honor Guard Team as a leader and instructor.
In September 1999, Harris was promoted to U.S. Border Patrol Senior Patrol Agent for Lordsburg, N.M. where he gathered intelligence for narcotics and alien smuggling cases. He formulated the National Critical Incident Response Manual that established procedures which ensure the proper emotional care of an agent's family following a line-of-duty death.
The work Harris performed led to a promotion as U.S. Border Patrol Supervisory Patrol Agent in October 2000. For the next 20 months, he was responsible for the overall operations of the Lordsburg, N.M. unit. He would plan, assign, direct, coordinate and review the daily work of unit agents. He also would receive and resolve complaints or grievances from the public. Harris reviewed cases and authorized prosecution of immigration law violators. He also coordinated the Honor Guard Units for the Department of Justice Attorney General Retirement and Swearing in Ceremonies in Washington, D.C.
Harris was promoted to U.S. Border Patrol Assistant Chief where he served as staff advisor to the Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol in Washington, D.C., from 2002-04.
In April 2004, Harris became Patrol Agent in Charge for Marfa Sector in Marfa, Texas. In this role, he was responsible for all operations of the Marfa Station in which he planned, directed, assigned and led all field operations for the Marfa Station Area of Responsibility encompassing more than 45,000 square miles of patrol area and 68 miles of International Boundary.
In that first year in Marfa, Harris was credited with making his largest narcotics seizure, 2,959 pounds of marijuana with a street value of $2.3 million.
This past year, he was accorded the agency's highest award for courage, the Newton-Azrak Award. The presentation was made by Commissioner W. Ralph Basham, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, during a special ceremony in Washington.
Harris' award came as a result of his actions during a shooting in East Texas in May 2007. After addressing a group gathered for a law enforcement memorial, Harris went to assist local officers called to the scene of a shooting. Two local sheriff's deputies were shot and killed and another was wounded. Harris, an emergency medical technician, crawled to the wounded deputy and began to administer first aid while at risk of being shot, as well. The deputy recovered and returned to duty.
The award is named in honor of Theodore L. Newton and George F. Azrak, Border Patrol agents who were killed in the line of duty in San Diego County, Calif.
"At this point of my career, I am very happy with my accomplishments," Harris said. "It's a dangerous job that I find very rewarding."
Harris was promoted to his current position less than a year ago. In this capacity as Assistant Chief Patrol Agent of the Marfa Sector, he oversees and supervises the Lubbock, Amarillo, Marfa and Presidio Border Patrol Stations.
"I know that I still have a lot to look forward to each day," Harris said. "That's the great attraction of this job. You don't know what you will have to do to protect America's borders."
Harris and his wife, Katrina, have two children, Dan "Hunter" Harris III, 10, and Halee, 7. The family lives in Fort Davis, Texas.

Sometimes you eventually get to the place you wanted to go, but not exactly in the way you expected.
And that's what I think happened this morning. You see, earlier today somebody in Brazil, wanting to find out more about IBM System x performance, happened to google the words "fencing x3650 ibm." And linked to what came up first. Which was this blog.
My guess is that they were talking about something like CPU or memory fencing. Certainly not the NCAA sport that I happened to discuss in this blog earlier this year. You know, the kind with the foil, sabre, or épée, and the scary helmet.
And if, after realizing that even though they were looking for a somewhat different kind of fencing, they realized that this blog was actually a great place to be to learn all about IBM System x performance, they may return.
And if they returned they would in fact be able to learn more about the exciting announcement today on new IBM quad-core AMD servers, the IBM BladeCenter LS22 and LS42 and the IBM System x3455 and x3755. These new servers are energy efficient, scale from two to four processors, and demonstrate leadership performance.
The IBM BladeCenter LS42 achieved leadership benchmark results on SPECjbb2005 using the IBM Java 6 Runtime Environment and leadership SPECfp2006 results using both two and four processors.(1)
(1) IBM® BladeCenter® LS42 (AMD Opteron Model 8384 quad-core processor at 2.7GHzwith 2MB L2 cache and 6MB L3 cache (4 chips/16 cores/4 cores per chip), 64GB of memory, one36.4GB disk drive, and IBM Java 6 (using a 1875MB heap), and Microsoft Windows Server2008 Enterprise x64 Edition) achieved a leadership 4-processor blade result of 721,843 SPECjbb2005® business operationsper second (SPECjbb2005 bops) and 180,461 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.

LAKELAND, FL (August 27, 2013) - The City of Lakeland will increase the number of red light safety cameras on Sept. 1, expanding a traffic safety program with a positive record of decreasing dangerous red light running violations.
Nine additional cameras at six intersections will be added to the City's current program of nine cameras. The new arrangement will provide photo enforcement at 11 intersections. For 30 days beginning Sept. 1, authorities will issue warning notices without fines for red-light running violations captured by the new cameras. The warning period gives drivers time to adjust to the presence of 24-hour enforcement. Once the warning phase ends, police will issue citations with $158 fines for running a red light.
A 10th camera location is still under consideration based on future FDOT construction at the North Florida and Memorial Boulevard location. This intersection was originally listed as the number one location of the additional top ten intersections based on the criteria used in choosing new proposed Red Light Camera locations.
Since the city began its photo enforcement program, red-light running violations at intersections with cameras have fallen 77% from the first full month of operation in June 2009 compared with April 2013, the most recent available monthly data. Decreases in violations indicate a change in driver behavior and improved safety because of a diminished opportunity for dangerous red-light running crashes.
Another indication that the program is improving driver behavior is the 11 percent recidivism rate, which shows that 89% of vehicle owners who received a red-light running violation from June 2009 through April 2013 did not get a second ticket, indicating drivers are getting the message to stop on red.
"This is a public safety program that deters red-light running crashes by changing driver behavior. In our community, drivers are getting the message to stop on red. We know that red-light safety cameras are making our streets safer and saving lives," said Lakeland's Police Chief Lisa Womack. The new red-light safety cameras are located at the following intersections:
The value of Lakeland's red-light safety camera program includes more than public safety. By reducing traffic crashes, one red-light safety cameras saves Lakeland an average of $150,151 annually in avoided crash costs.
This year alone, the City submitted $512,000 in red-light running ticket fines to the State of Florida, a portion of which goes to hospitals and medical research. The vast majority of fines are paid by drivers outside of Lakeland. Residents here received 7% of all red-light running citations since the program began through April 2013.
Cameras operate 24 hours a day and capture images of vehicles when they run a red light at a controlled intersection. All violations are issued after a sworn LPD Officer reviews the photographic and video evidence. Signs posted along the street in advance of a RLC controlled intersection alert drivers that red-light safety cameras are in use at the intersection ahead. Warnings and citations will be mailed to the owner of the vehicle identified in the red-light running photographic evidence, as provided for in state law.
The City of Lakeland has contracted with American Traffic Solutions Inc. (ATS) which provides red light and speed enforcement programs in nearly 300 communities across North America. Additional information regarding the City of Lakeland's traffic safety program can be found atwww.lakelandgov.net.
LAKELAND, FL (August 22, 2013) - At the peak of yesterday's very intense storm there were 15,052 Lakeland Electric customers who were without power. The storm moved through the area quickly but Lakeland Linder Regional Airport reported 65 mph winds with some areas of Lakeland also receiving over two-inches of rain. Most of Lakeland Electric's customers who initially lost energy due to the storm had their electricity restored quickly because of system control's ability to reroute power.
However, as of 8:30 p.m. last night about 800 customers were without power and as of 8:00 a.m. this morning approximately 200 customers are still without power. Lakeland Electric still has the following issues to repair:
- 6 Bad transformers
- 3 Broken poles
- 19 locations with downed wires
Lakeland Electric had 50 line workers who worked diligently overnight to restore power. Twenty-eight fresh crew members reported this morning to continue the restoration work. Lakeland Electric has also enlisted the help of Bartow and Kissimmee who are each sending four crew members to assist in final restoration.
For more information regarding Lakeland Electric go to www.lakelandelectric.com and to view up to date power outages click on the Power Outage Tracker button on the home page. The Outage Tracker shows a map with the current outages for the Lakeland Electric Service Territory. The map is updated every five minutes in order to give customers the most recent information.
Contractors working for the City of Lakeland will be resurfacing Lakeland Highlands Rd (From Glendale Ave North to E. Edgewood Dr.) during the week of August 26th thru 29th.
Milling of the old surface will begin on Monday followed by the re-paving. The work is expected to take one week to complete.
Roads will remain open; however delays are expected during this work.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I hope our new pup fits in well. I am always concerned when introducing a new member to our pack. I have been so lucky that all my pack members, including the cat, get along so well. Its a balance I would like to keep. The GSD will be my first "guard dog" type breed. Although, I do not plan to train it in any way as a guard dog. I have worked with working dogs so I think it will go well. I am just concerned about the dominance factor with this breed. I am sure I have nothing to worry about as long as she is well socialized and given the proper handling. I know the GSD is extremely smart, and the smarter the breed, in my experience, the more you have to give them a job to do to keep them happy. I am particularly concerned with the amount of children and dogs in our area so I hope we can get our GSD socialized with them on a regular basis so that she knows they are not a threat and they know that as well. I'm not worried about the GSD so much as I am my ability to make sure she is grounded and happy. I am a believer of the 99% rule: 99% of the time its the owner's handling that makes a dog behave a certain way.
Such beautiful dogs! The very first dog I grew up with was a standard black poodle who was named Goldie (because she has the gold ribbon as a pup). Sounds like your pup is going to have one amazing family!

Good luck with the new puppy!
New GSD owner, Old Dog lover
Hello! I am so very excited. My son and I will be welcoming our GSD puppy at the end of February. Her name will be Riley! I already own a Standard Poodle who is getting up in age but is our cool and calm girl who loves to run. I also have a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel who will always be "the baby". The Cavalier is our outgoing diva. Both dogs are very grounded and get along wonderfully. We are hoping the new addition, the GSD, will be happy in our home. I have had a great deal of experience with dogs. All of my dogs have been well behaved. I pride myself in research and keeping up with the best way to raise each breed I have owned in my lifetime (Lhasa, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Standard Poodle, Cavalier). Therefore, my Standard is not expected to be a lap dog like the Cavalier, and the Cavalier is not expected to be able to run long distances. I also understand each breeds level of ability. For example, my Standard is the queen of obedience and is extremely intelligent and needs a job. My Cavalier is more of the show off who enjoys learning tricks and bores easily during obedience sessions. As for our future GSD, my son likes to jog so she will be joining him once she has finished growing and her joints can handle it. During the early years, I hope to give her a great deal of socialization. Our neighborhood is extremely dog friendly and child friendly so our GSD needs to know the neighborhood. She will understand the basic obedience commands and once we get a feel for her "passion", we will begin her training in that area whether it be obedience or agility or herding or whatever. Therefore, I look to the members here for any advice at all. I truly wish for my new GSD to be grounded and happy in our home - you know "One of the family" because she will be. She already has a space waiting for her with her own XL crate, toys, feeding area, and other supplies. No, I do not use the crate to put my dogs in when I am home (my Cavalier does use it when I am even though the door is never closed because she loves her crate- she is four and trained), and I have a dog door leading to a very large fenced yard. Thanks for reading and looking forward to chatting with you.

looking to swap out my 2.SLOW for a VR6. I'm just wondering how difficult its going to be. I mean i know that the engine will bolt right up, but I'm just unsure about if its worth it or not.
looking to swap out my 2.SLOW for a VR6. I'm just wondering how difficult its going to be. I mean i know that the engine will bolt right up, but I'm just unsure about if its worth it or not.
bolt right up?
There is a pretty decent sized build thread over on newbeetle.org about a swap. Might be one here too. Do some searching. There are a few builds out there. Don't think its just a bolt right up thing...
Yeah. My neighbor put a mk4 24v vr6 in his 01 beetle. Said it bolted right up. He just had to do a lot of shimming and wire in the electronic throttle body. I'm planning to do a mk3 vr6. Harness is basically plug and play.
There is a TON of work involved in this. The VR6 motor is bigger than a 2.0 or 1.8T. Finding room to fit everything is the challenge. But it's def. possible!
I didn't even see the MKIII VR part...hmmm...I don't see that working unless you acutally install a MKIII VR and change a lot over. But like he said...better to just find a MKIV GTI or Jetta that's been wrecked in the back with a VR and use that.
Been doing alot of thinking...i was going to turbo the 2.0 bu cause i realized that the used car dealership had GPS and remote shutdown wired into the car and swapping the engine out would tamper it. so i was going to turbo it and realized that the overall cost or turboing the 2.0 vs. the VR^ is generally the same. So December 2011, i should be starting the swap. i know its a long time, but i have to pay the car off... :/ But it'll all work out. Ill post pics of the swap when i decide to start, but I may change my mind again LOL.
"I hope the dash is soft. That's really important. There is nothing I like more then pushing on the dash material while I'm driving. " - phorever
If a bump in HP is your goal, why not just add a chip and/or add nitrous and/or add a supercharger?
(Did you know there are bolt-on SC kits for the 2.0?)
If you're on a budget, swapping in a VR or turbo'ing your 2.0 just doesn't make any sense.
Shameless plug but I'm selling a turbo kit.
"I hope the dash is soft. That's really important. There is nothing I like more then pushing on the dash material while I'm driving. " - phorever
How much for the turbo kit? I need a new head too + my tranny just went. I'd love the n20 too. Lol
$1700 plus shipping. Less than 6000 miles on the kit. I have cylinder heads too, pistons, rods, the works.
How much for the full works?
I'm sure if uve done any kind of research I'm sure uve came across my build thread.. a 12v VR swap in a beetle is not as hard has everyone thinks. But unless ur a mechanic, I wouldn't suggest tackling it on ur own. Any questions just ask me.
It's been a long time since I've posted this. But I am finally ready to start this swap!!! My boy has a few VR6's lined up at an auto auction. I'll definately be posting alot more now along with build pics. Depending on if we get the car or not, hopefully within the next 2 weeks I'll be starting the process! Just in time for prom, Imagine riding into prom in a VR6 beetle.
At your age, I was mostly concerned with going to see bands play in the city and landing kick-flips off stair sets.
I don't have a beetle anymore but I am interested in this
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2
Well guys, yet again this swap wont be happening...not because of funds or lack of resources but because i was tboned in an intersection and she is totaled. If there is anything i am glad about its that i didn't buy the motor yet. ill post pics of the car in a bit. :/
let me know if you guys can see the picture

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side travel to Carrow Road to face Norwich City in the Premier League on Saturday so, to find out more, we also asked journalist Michael Bailey for his thoughts and analysis.
"Norwich City have constantly used different formations and players this season. However, the players that have impressed most are Wes Hoolahan, Elliott Bennett and Anthony Pilkington.
"All three have the technical ability to create opportunities for the likes of Grant Holt and Steve Morison when Arsenal go to Carrow Road on Saturday."
"More often that not it's been something of a 4-2-3-1 formation with the lone striker in Steve Morison and Wes Hoolahan just off him. Elliott Bennett and Anthony Pilkington then occupy the two flanks with a couple of holding midfielders.
"In the Aston Villa game, however, they reverted to a 4-4-2 and brought back Grant Holt. I think it's just the fact he's not quite as mobile as Morison means he's not played quite as much as he'd have liked. That said, the impact he's made off the bench is probably what pushed him to get that start. He's done really well when he's come on and he's still a cult figure down here. I don't think Paul Lambert would like to leave him out.
"Since Lambert has been in charge they have been very positive. They have always attacked sides, and that showed even when they travelled to places like Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge. Liverpool were very good in the first half but in the second they had a go again.
"Overall I think the fans are being entertained and they're enjoying the fact that there's no fear in the side even though there isn't too much experience at this level. It will be like that on Saturday I'm sure - you'll get pretty long odds on it being goalless I'm sure.
"Lambert says he tries to pick a side to fit the opposition, concentrating on their weaknesses more. Pace has troubled Norwich in the last few weeks so they might just be tempted to let Arsenal have the ball in front of them and hit them on the break. They have two very good wingers who have made the step up from the Football League seamlessly. Hoolahan is also a man who can cause all sorts of problems in midfield - they will try to use him as much as possible.
"I think defensively across the back four Norwich have looked a little weak. They've conceded six goals in the last two games, a few of which were down simply to sloppy defending rather than cutting-edge forward play. It's nothing specific, just collectively a few mistakes seem to have crept in.
"They haven't kept a clean sheet yet this season, and that's the monkey that the team needs to get off their back - although I can't see it happening on Saturday!
"I'd take a 2-2 draw here and now. If there was fewer than four goals I think we could see that as a disappointment."

I built this jig as gunslingingcowboy did, works like a charm ! I bent 2 so far, no problems.
Thanks for a great idea Bro ! :cheers:
My last post I thanked gunslingingcowboy for the idea of the poorman's bending jig.
But, Kudos should go to where they are due, Grasshopper was the progenitor of this great idea.
Sorry for the brain fart !
Thanks again man, you're my hero !!!:thumbup1:
Is anybody using this jig on a regular basis? If so, are there any refinements or tips for use worth noting?
I am thinking about using one of these instead of a prebent.
I built one similar to JRoybal's, using 3 grade-8 bolts to pull the flat through the angle iron. The flat turned out good, but I'm going to brace it up some more to keep it from flexing on the next one. There were some waves in the sides, but after tapping the upper rails over while sandwiched in the vise the sides are nice and straight.
I used Turtle Wax on the sides of the angle iron and the flat. The ol "slicker than cat snot on a tile floor" approach worked well.
I could not find a thick enough piece for the inner bars so I tried using two with a third on the bottom. The bottom one was ever so slightly to the left so the inner was shifted too far to the right and therefore it was not leaving enough room for the flat to fold. So I am in the process of narrowing the lower plate to allow the bend. So a work in progress.
Brace it? Where? I was thinking of using a large "C" Clamp about mid point on the angle iron to keep it from bowing. Is this what you are talking about?Quote:

What thickness barstock are you using for the inner bars? What would be optimum 0.25''?Quote:

text: I finally got my visor installed last night. Out of everything I've done on the helmet, that caused me the most pain. Anyway, its bolted in as most have done so it can be removed. I reget that I don't have any pictures yet but here's my question: when the visor is in should it fit tightly up against the inside of the helmet - ie the brow area and the mandibles? Looking at it from the outside, there is a small gap between the actual helmet and the visor. If I tighten the screws I'm afraid the helmet may crack from too much tension - its a fiberglass BM. I personally dont mind the gap. I'm just curious as to what everyone else does in this situation. This is my first attempt so theres a lot I don't yet.
