I inherited the P180 from my brother and it has turned out to be a very good case. It's good looking, well thought out, and keeps noise to a minimum, and would earn 5 stars were in not for a couple of crucial design floors.
The first of which is the positioning of the PSU. The power supply sits right at the bottom of the case, which is normally fine, until you need to hook up a 4-pin CPU power chord to the motherboard, which you then can't do because the CPU power socket is too far away - I ended up having to split the cables and make them longer myself, just to connect the power chord.
The second of these flaws is the reliance on Antec-specific drive rails; being an inherited case, some of the rails went missing along the way, and when it came round to putting in an extra drive, I couldn't do it due to a lack of rails. It was a case of sacrificing my DVD writer or spending £8 on rails from the Antec spare parts store.
Other than that, the case is very good; it looks good with the aluminium finish, and all the features are quite well thought out in terms of noise reduction (rubber insulating pads for hard disks etc). The principal difficulty is it's difficult to justify spending £100+ on this case unless you're a real enthusiast, since it's just too feature rich for most people's needs.
This is the best case I have ever owned- truly amazing. The cooling is great, it's whisper quiet thanks to the tri-cool fans and for looks it is very hard to beat. The first thing that struck me about this case is that it is quite heavy! This isn't a problem though- it just adds to the quality feel of the plastic fittings inside and out. The hard drives are in retractable bays which makes changing them over soooooo much easier. There is oodles of space for up to eight hard drives and four 5.25" drives. The door opens to reveal the front of these drives, one floppy space, two 120mm removable dust filters and the power switch. With the door closed it looks plain and simple yet due to its size quite imposing and definitely very serious! The power supply is at the bottom with a fan in between itself and the lower 4 hard drives. Cooling for the CPU is maximsed by the possibility of having an additional fan in the roof. Installation is easy thanks to the thumb screws- just make sure you don't get the hard drive bays retention thumb screws mixed up as you cant get the side back on if you get it wrong!

Did you ever get new tubes for it? and what did you decide on getting?

gorgeous project!
Some thoughts on it, and answers to some questions:
The SVT's final stage is not an Ultralinear design, just straight pentodes. You could modify your amp to get it switchalbe between both modes, and even a third one, the triode mode, by using a dual pole triple throw switch of sufficient voltage capability (!). Just connect all three screens of every push-pull side to both the wipers and the three fixed contacts to Eb (for pentode), or UL taps (for Ultralinear) or plates (for triode mode), respectively. Also the SVT doesn't use an interstage tranny, as far as I know.
I'd never replace 6L6GC's by 6550's ot KT88's, due to their bigger heater current (1.6 vs. 0.9 amps) requirements which most likely will burn the mains transformer's heater winding.
I'd ever replace any carbon resistor by it's modern, and reliable metal film equivalent. There might occur some sound change, due to the fact that you bring it back to it's factory sound when the original carbon rsistors still had their original values.
I'd also ever replace all electrolytics. Due to ageing their capacitance values are prone to decrease, while leakage current most likely will increase to unwanted amounts.
I'd insert 10 ohms resistors into the cathode lead of every final tube. Thus you can "match" them by your own to a sufficient level for (bass) guitar amplification.
Last, but not least: As you intend to use it as an bass guitar amp, I'd replace the five capacitors in series with the inductances in the equalization circuitry by some of four times the original value, thus bringing the equalization ranges an octave down.
Best regards and good luck!
Addendum: In real pentode mode your amp will deliver even more output power, but distortion will increase somewhat.

Kay, I can't make out exactly what you are saying. If I changed tube type to one that required more heater current its not a big deal to make a seperate heater supply just for the outputs. This amp is new enough to have modern caps. The main caps have been replaced. I do intend to do some work on the power supply filter ladder though, until an unfiltered scr light dimmer injecting line noise doesn't affect the amp (thru the 115 VAC; the RF noise from a dimmer radiated thru the air from the dimmed light lines is a seperate subject).
I may try pentode mode! But for now I have a lot of other things to address first.

Indeed, the 'studio bass' version of the (almost) same circuit has the same inductors but bigger caps. That does move the frequency cneters down, but it seems to me that would also change the 'q' and make broader bands (which might or might not be a good thing).

yes, if you'd consider replacing yout output tubes by 6550's, you'd need an additional heater supply. Also don't forget that both tubes require different plate-to-plate load impedances.
As they were mentioned above: EL34's are not a good substitution! The also require more heater current (1.5 A vs. 0.9 A) than 6L6GC's and screen voltage in this UL circuitry most likely will exceed the maximum rating given for these tubes. Unless you can buy a sextett of NOS tubes (from Mullard, Telefunken etc.) for a huge amount of money, as these really are capable of the higher screen voltage, you'd better forget that idea.
You could double both the inductors' and the capacitors' values within the EQ circuitry, Q then should remain the same. But I guess that you don't even know the inductors' values, so changing the caps should be the best, and maybe the only possible, way to start with. Finally, listening experience tells you whether you're on the right way.
Best regards!

I bought another 6L6. It's a JJ and not identical to either type I have now. I'm planning to convert to bias pots ASAP. Anyway, it doesn't get as hot now and works great. So I'm sticking to 6L6GC for now, while I address more pressing issues. I really want to move that 'distortion' stage to become another switchable gain stage w/ volume, located between the tone circuits and the EQ circuits.
Then I've got other heads to reassemble! And I should have at least one real bass bottom with with some larger low-frequency speaker in a bigger box, as alternative to all these open-back 4x10 and closed-back 4x12.

teee Heee... rebuilt My '64 Fender Bassman, a few years back. Replaced ALL carbon comps with 1% carbon films, fitted all fresh caps Sprauge Atoms etc. etc.
Oem resistors had seriously drifted. Oem caps were either leaking already or close to it.
Utah speakers were "fine' as were the OEM Sylvania's
Sound.. was... different as result of it being back to factory circuit spec...clearer, brighter with far less brownout, notably louder too.
Took about a week to get used to the as new sounds. However all who have since listened / used it prefer the restored 'as Leo intended' voicing.
The Weenies can moan about it's not sounding Clapped out vintage.
Ohhh but wait.. It doesn't belong to them :-)

Well, this sure isn't a bluesy saggging-power distorting amp wheezing out an emotive cry. It's not a primary guitar amp, it's a clean machine primarily for bass and occasional guitar duty, though it might have more tone potential later if I add switches for non-ultralinear mode, or to remove some feedback. And of course if I move that extra pre-amp stage to between the "tone" section and the "EQ".
So I picked up a huge inductor in an attempt to get rid of every bit of power amp hum, yet not drop B+ much in a retrofit application. It's truly huge and really heavy, so I'm investigating many mounting alternatives. I should run over there and measure the DC resistance, as I bought it without knowing, just figuring based on its size that it must be low. And with the big inductor and more caps I will need to upgrade the rectifier or it will blow at turn-on. Turn-on is going to stress the transformer more than it's ever been pushed before, so I'm not going overboard with the size of the caps.
Now...it models with steady load, but should I be thinking about dong anything to dampen any resonances in the power supply due to the capacitance and inductance I'm adding?

Beijing has started construction of a new giant airport which could see 120 million passengers pass through the capital every year
Beijing Daxing airport, due to open in 2015, is set to be the world's busiest aviation hub and is expected to handle 370,000 passengers a day.
Only three years since Beijing Capital Airport opened up the massive Terminal 3, plans to further expand China's aviation industry are already underway.
Li Jiaxing, the minister in charge of China's Civil Aviation Administration said that an enormous boom in the demand for flights has already stretched the capital's existing facilities to breaking point, "It is impossible to add even one more flight to the tight daily schedule of the Capital airport."
Cao Yunchun, a professor at the country's Civil Aviation University said, "The existing airport in Beijing has an annual capacity of 75 million passengers. Last year it handled 73 million. In two years, it will be totally packed. And it cannot be expanded infinitely."
However, the majority of air-traffic flying in and out of Beijing is domestic, and so far this year, domestic flights have outnumbered international travellers by four-to-one at Capital airport.
The new Beijing Daxing airport, which is currently an hour's drive from the city centre, is expected to have eight runways for civilian use and one for military. Denver international airport currently has the most runways in the world with six.
There are also plans for a high-speed train to connect the airport to central Beijing in just 30 minutes.
The new project has set alarm bells ringing for environmentalists who have warned that an increase in flights will contribute to the country's pollution problems and high greenhouse gas emissions.
Last year, Chinese authorities reported a £3.9 billion profit in the aviation industry. In the coming years, China is planning to buy at least 4,300 new aircraft and Boeing has recently upgraded its targets for the country by 25%.

my gun
i obtained this gun in a trade several years ago and i still cant figure out the year it was made or find any pics online of this gun. the barrel markings are, winchester model 70 30-06 sprg. the receiver has g2260654. and the bolt has 0654 hand engraved into it. any info would be great. thanks, jim
I have a Winchester model 70.I took the serial number to a gun dealer.He told me it was made in 1958.He had a referance book.Maybe you could try this route.
I have called the manufacturer in the past (call winchester) and gave them the serial number and they traced it for me and told me when it was made.
2 Attachment(s)
called winchester today. 1999 is the year and that series was made specially for............................................... .................................................. ...............................WALMART! was hoping for better news but it is still an awesome shooter. it was rusted really bad and i worked most of the pits out and blued it. looks ok but had i known it was a walmart gun i might have not put that much time and effort into it.
i noticed on almost every other winchester there was a floor plate and this one not so
as long as it shoots straight who cares where it was sold through.
i have a few rifles and was lookin to trade for a high end hand gun. was hopin it was worth a lot more.
I bought a winchester ranger 120 20Ga shotgun for my daughter & I was looking for info on it NO help from winchester 3 people I talked to there never heard of it WHAT? sounded like they were all new there. I was looking for a barrel they could not tell me what models would fit it
they ended up telling me to contact midwest gun works pretty sad in my book
hope your experience was better with them then mine
winchester answered all my questions on the first call. they also told me there were some canadian models made that were made for the department stores had no replacement parts or any way to identify them

Why have you agreed to be part of Walking With The Wounded?
The military can sometimes be hard, it is unlike any other career, the only one that licences you to kill and in turn be killed. Having said that you don't join the army for this. You join out of a strong sense of belonging of doing a job that requires selfless giving and a unique level of teamwork. That team work has not been forgotten. It is now up to those who are no longer serving to help those less fortunate and have given so much under that sense of selfless duty. These woundedmen and women will soon fade from the headlines and but their injuries will forever be with them as they try re-build their lives. Walking with the wounded will be my little way of saying thank you and helping to raise funds so vitally needed to help these brave people back into some sort of "normality".
Team Member Profile
I work and live in London. I have been married for 10 years to Emma who took 12 years to say 'yes', we live happily with our two children in Battersea. I work for fox interactive media as the commercial director across great brands such as MySpace and IGN. Being in the social media arena is fascinating and ever changing, it is wonderful to be part of such an extraordinary revolution.
How have you found the training so far?
Most of the training at the moment is about getting my slightly under used muscles back into action. However, having been to the South Pole it all feels horribly familiar. The gym is again my friend and that blasted cross trainer, will be my constant companion for the next 18 months or so. Pulling tyres through London, all those strange looks, funny parts of Richmond park and tooting common will again be visited by a bloke pulling a set of Dunlop's on rope behind him.
What are your daily activities?
I'm pretty good about getting up in the morning – unlike the rest of my family! Breakfast is with the family generally desperately persuading two under 10 year olds that they are not teenagers yet and that they must get a move on and get ready for school.
I hate public transport and therefore cycle everywhere, generally cycling in the summer is quite enjoyable as long as you manage to miss the buses, winter is less enjoyable! Each day in the world of digital media is different, although I am lucky to work with a bunch of highly motivated, inspirational young people. Sadly I am now the oldest in the office, it seems like only yesterday I was the youngest but the industry is constantly changing so this keeps me up to date. I generally don't get home until after 8:00 in the evening so just catch the children before they go to bed…not necessarily to sleep.
Because of my propensity to resemble a space hopper I am on a strict diet of salad every night, even polar food can be better than those leaves!

Skype has today updated the Windows flavour of its software to version 5.0, with Facebook integration as its headline feature.
Users will now be able to see their Facebook feed directly from within Skype, while Skype and Facebook contacts are now integrated. Any Facebook contacts also on Skype can then be called directly on their landline or mobile without you having to have manually added them to your Skype contacts.
Skype is waving the enhanced social experience flag with this update, and this is extended into video, as you can now call up to 10 people at a time, which could work well for remote teamworking. This is available now in beta as a free trial.
Skype said that a dynamic view will switch the focus to whoever's speaking – though we'd love to see it try to keep up with the women team on The Apprentice.
Skype said the 40 per cent of Skype-to-Skype minutes in the first half of 2010 were dedicated to video calling, so while it's not found much traction on mobiles, the desktop is a place where video calling makes sense.
Skype said that it has simplified the interface on this version of Skype and that it's now easier to find contacts thanks to the use of pictures and avatars.
Another new feature is automatic call recovery, which hopefully will do what it says on the tin and re-establish calls that that been interrupted by dodgy Internet connections.
Skype told TrustedReviews that Facebook integration for the Mac version would be "coming soon", to coin a phrase, but would not be drawn on when these updates might make their way to smartphone versions.
Skype 5.0 for Windows should be available later today from www.skype.com.

Date Climbed: Nov 6, 2006
|Hiked up Pigeon Mountain with seven others from the Calgary Outdoor Club before the seasonal closure. It's a good late season easy peak.
It had a bit of everything from simple trail hiking, to open ridge walking, bushwacking and even a tiny scramble section.
We started from the recently improved parking area and followed the hydro right of way as it crossed below the mountain.
After about five kilometres on the hydro line, we turned on a trail cutting through the trees. We were only in the trees briefly though as the trail soon brought us to an open ridge leading to the shoulder between the main peak and lower peak of Pigeon Mountain. We went first to the lower peak then over to the main peak. Our return route was more direct as we followed flagged game trails and bushwacked our way toward the abandoned ski runs and back onto the road near the parking lot.

The Boot Campaign
* The Boot Campaign is a Texas-based national 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to showing the tangible appreciation for our active military, raising awareness of the challenges they face upon return and supporting their transition home.
* The Boot Campaign encourages Americans to purchase and wear a pair of its signature combat boots as a way to express their patriotism and gratitude for troops. (to date, upwards of 20,000 Americans and 400+ celebrities/actors/musicians/politicians/pro-athletes have gotten their BOOTS ON)
* Through the sale of its signature combat boots, general public donations, events such as Pushups for Charity, and corporate sponsorship, the Boot Campaign operates five distinct initiatives that are caring for military personnel, past and present, healing from a variety of physical and emotional combat wounds.
* The Boot Campaign's five assistance initiatives are: Housing, Jobs, Wellness, Urgent Assistance and Family Support.
* What does it mean to support Pushups for Charity and provide funding for the Boot Campaign? It means that the Boot Campaign can: provide housing and job placement assistance to Veterans and their families, send warriors and surviving spouses to wellness retreats and counseling, provide grants for urgent medical or other emergency family needs, and MUCH more!
* Pushups for Charity is an annual fitness competition and fundraiser. Motto: Get Fit. Have Fun. Make a Difference.
* 2013 Pushups for Charity Goal: Raise $1 million to fund the military assistance programs of the Boot Campaign.
* Pushups for Charity is held nationwide on Saturday, May 18th (Armed Forces Day).
* What is it? A friendly competition to see how many pushups you can do in 90 seconds. Participants are raising funds from friends/family/co-workers. Funds are raised through each team's fundraising page hosted on PushupsForCharity.com
* The motto this year is, "What Can You Accomplish in 90 Seconds?". In only 90 seconds of doing pushups you can make a profound and lasting impact on the life of military personnel, past and present, as they heal from physical and emotional wounds sustained in combat.
* There are 85 teams participating nationwide, and one of our featured events is being held in HOUSTON.
* The HOUSTON Pushups for Charity event is held at 11:00am on Saturday, May 18th at Cannon CrossFit (5907 Star Lane Houston, 77057). Immediately following, there will be a family-friendly "after party" at the Firehouse Saloon (5930 Southwest Freeway). There will be live music, BBQ and auction.
* It doesn't matter if you can or cannot do pushups. The purpose is to have everyone join together to express gratitude for our troops, and raise support funds for the Boot Campaign's assistance programs. You can make a donation on-line, sign up to do pushups, or attend and cheer on those doing pushups.

Fourth-quarter rally falls just shy in Tucker
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — A fourth-quarter rally wasn't quite enough to lift 19th ranked Tennessee Tech over Tennessee State Saturday at Tucker Stadium as four costly turnovers wrecked the Golden Eagles' bid for a fifth consecutive victory.
It wasn't for lack of heart-wrenching effort that Tech
(4-2, 3-1 OVC) suffered its first conference loss of the season.
The Golden Eagles nearly overcame their self-inflicted mistakes by
scoring the final 20 points of the game and earned themselves a
chance to win before coming up two points short.
TSU, meanwhile, won its second-consecutive OVC game after snapping a nine-game conference losing streak last week.
Tennessee Tech threw two interceptions and twice lost fumbles, a combined four turnovers that led to 14 Tennessee State points. The Tigers appeared to break the game open in the third quarter after recovering a fumble at the Tech 23-yard line and scoring on a 15-yard Dante Thomas touchdown run to take a 42-20 lead with 10:28 left in the quarter.
The Golden Eagle defense buckled down, however, holding the Tigers off the scoreboard for the remainder of the game and allowing the offense to chip away at the deficit.
Tech cut the lead to 42-40 with just 15 seconds left to play when Tre Lamb hit Zack Ziegler on a 10-yard touchdown pass. The Golden Eagles recovered the ensuing onsides kick attempt, but officials ruled the ball did not travel the required 10 yards, giving TSU possession and ending the game.
Lamb completed 34 of 58 passes for 348 yards, notching his first career 300-yard passing game. Lamb broke three school records on the night, accounting for the most completed passes in a single game (34), the most pass attempts (58) and the most total play (69, taking into account his 11 rushes).
The Golden Eagles amassed 36 first downs on the night compared to 19 for TSU. The 36 first downs set an all-time single-game record, breaking the previous record of 32 set in 1976 against Nebraska-Omaha.
Zach Sharp booted four field goals on the night for Tennessee
Tech, including a career-high 49-yarder to cut the TSU lead to
28-20 just before halftime. He also connected on four extra points
to account for 16 total points.
Sharp hit a 31-yarder with 3:14 left in the third quarter to begin the Golden Eagle comeback, and Tommie McBride forced a TSU fumble that was recovered by junior linebacker Howard Griffin at the Tennessee State 46-yard line on the ensuing drive. Tech launched a drive that resulted in a two-yard touchdown pass from Lamb to Charlie Stevens, cutting the lead to 42-30 with 13:52 left in the game.
The Golden Eagle defense then forced TSU three-and-out, and the offense set up a Sharp 26-yard attempt to cut the lead to 42-33. Tech's defense stepped up once again, forcing a Tiger punt from deep in TSU territory, and the offense drove to the Tennessee State 14-yard-line before stalling. A holding penalty and a sack moved the ball back 18 yards, and Sharp's 42-yard attempt his fifth field goal of the evening fell about a yard short of the crossbar.
TSU put the ball on the ground again and Will Johnson recovered for the Golden Eagles at their own 21-yard line with 2:47 left to play, setting up the Lamb-to-Ziegler touchdown with 15 seconds left.
Tech finished with 462 yards of total offense compared to 398 for TSU.
Dontey Gay was the Golden Eagles' leading rusher, carrying 11 times for 75 yards and one touchdown. Adam Urbano made his return to the field, seeing action for the first time since suffering an high ankle sprain in the season-opener at Iowa, and carried eight times for 32 yards while catching four passes for 25 yards.
Tim Benford was Tech's top receiver, catching 10 passes for 122 yards. The 10 catches tied Benford's career-best. Zack Ziegler hauled in eight catches for 79 yards and a score, and also rushed four times for 23 yards and another score, giving him 102 all-purpose yards.
Tennessee State quarterback Mike German went 19-for-29 for 232 yards and two touchdowns, while the Tigers were led on the ground by Dante Thomas, who carried 14 times for 79 yards and two scores. Wide receiver Calvin McNairl caught four passes for 96 yards.
The Golden Eagles have a bye week next week before traveling to
league-leading Jacksonville State on Oct. 29. Tech still controls
its own destiny in the hunt for the OVC title. If the Golden Eagles
win the remainder of their games, they would hold the head-to-head
tiebreaker over any other one-loss team.
Tennessee State struck first, taking advantage of a Gay fumble deep in Tech territory on the opening drive and scoring on a 12-yard pass from German to Jeremy Pryor. The Tigers took a 14-0 lead halfway through the first quarter on another touchdown strike from German to Devin Wilson.
TTU answered, however, tying the game with two scores on a Gay one-yard run and a Ziegler 10-yard run. Tennessee State took a lead it wouldn't lose, however, on a one-yard run by Dante Thomas to pull ahead 21-14 early in the second quarter.
Sharp connected on his first field goal of the night to cut the lead to 21-17 with 9:10 left in the half, but TSU extended the advantage to 28-17 on a Trabis Ward three-yard touchdown run with 3:20 remaining. Sharp's 49-yarder cut the deficit to eight at halftime.

If the next step in your life is following your student goals in an Erasmus experience, and you want to live away from the Berlin's hectic centre, this residence in Babelsberg is precisely what you need to have in order to start this new adventure with the right foot!
The property features a total of hundred and twelve apartments. This particular studio represents several others on the ground floor. They all have a bedroom area, a bathroom and a kitchen. The bedroom area is very comfortable and welcoming and the kitchen is equipped with the necessary commodities for a nice private cooking experience.
The amenities don't end here! This residence also has a gym, a study room, a cafeteria, laundry room and a common room - here you'll make lots of new friends every day and enjoy the city like never before. Underground parking and bike storage spaces are all the range here. You won't regret checking this out!
It's also good to know that you have the possibility to get additional household effects, such as bed linen, towels, dishes and cutlery, pans and pots for a surcharge.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.
Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Could Food Made From Bugs End World Hunger?
A UK based design team is developing a line of edible goods made from insects.
Several students from the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London are planning your next meal, and it doesn't feature chicken.
Aran Dasan, Jacky Chung, Jonathan Fraser, and Julene Aguirre-Bielschowsky have paired up with Kim Insu, a chef in training at Le Cordon Bleu, to develop a new line of food made from bugs. The four person team has been studying the potential uses of bugs as a primary food source. Western perceptions of bugs aside, the little creatures are surprisingly nutritious, easily and economically produced, and could help our global community with issues of malnutrition, environmental sustainability, and even waste. Locusts, for example, are 72% protein, require a much smaller carbon footprint to transport, and can subsist on plant waste that would normally clog our landfills.
The team knows that though critters could be a great potential supplement to the global diet, there is a huge perception hurdle when contemplating bugs as food. The team plans to slowly educate consumers and then gently begin introducing products into the market.
But don't worry, you won't be seeing cricket chips in your grocery store anytime soon.
Watch this video to learn more about their design process:

Victor Vasquez and Tevin Farmer expected to steal Valley Forge show Saturday
By John DiSanto – PhillyBoxingHistory.com
File Photos by Gary Purfield
The largest names and biggest photos on the fight poster for Saturday's night of boxing at the Valley Forge Casino and Resort are Harry Joe Yorgey and Julius Kennedy. And given they will fight a 10-round rematch of their gritty March battle, it is understandable. However, just a glance at the names and faces scheduled in the main 8-round "co-main event" bout is enough to excite every local fight fan.
Two of the most exciting Philly fighters of the day will face off in what surely figures to be the card's show stealer. North Philly's "Boxing Barber", Victor Vasquez, 16-7-1, 7 KOs, takes on "The American Idol" Tevin Farmer, 10-4-1, 1 KO, in a fight fan's dream of a match. Both boxers have earned their reputations as crowd pleasers in the ring.
Vasquez, 30, has been in more than his fair share of good fights, and is well-known as perhaps Philly's most exciting battler. He's not a devastating one-punch hitter, but is quite capable of wearing a boxer down and taking him out, after testing his appetite for war. If a fighter comes in against Vasquez less than fully prepared, the Barber's brutal body attack will usually be the deciding factor.
Vasquez is a master at trench warfare, ruling the action along the ropes and at close quarters. However, he has often been cut, but usually manages to fight his way through it. He's not an undefeated fighter and can be out boxed, especially if the action stays at a distance, but Vasquez usually takes chances and does everything he can to close the gap. Usually this makes for memorable fights.
The biggest question surrounding Vasquez is the mileage on his boxing odometer. His battles have all been hard fought and he has taken much punishment. His exciting career may be winding down, and this fight with Farmer may help gauge if this is true. At 22, Tevin Farmer is much younger and fresher than Vasquez. Usually this single metric is enough to effectively handicap a fight. But it's not necessarily the whole story in this one. Left-handed Farmer is a blast to watch. He is full of energy, a free-swinger, and usually keeps it coming for the entire length of the fight. He's fast and moves in and out of the action with his flashy style.
The fight will be his fourth of the year already, with six months in 2013 still to go. He's only scored one KO in his career, a second rounder back in 2011. His best chance against Vasquez is to use his speed and youth to keep the action brisk and light. However, Farmer seems to have a taste for battle. So if he chooses to bring the fight directly to Vasquez, he will learn firsthand why Vasquez packs in the crowds every time he fights. The battle plans for both combatants seems clear. Farmer needs to box and keep the action out of the trenches, while Vasquez must crowd him and turn the fight into a war.
Both men are from North Philadelphia, and Farmer has done a little talking about Victor and the fight via a YouTube video. The neighborhood bragging rights and mild bad blood that has built up may make the possibility for war more likely. That would be an advantage for Vasquez. But Farmer will be looking to prove himself in this fight, so perhaps he will keep a cool head. Either way, the fight stacks up as a good one, and one that is not to be missed.
"He talks a lot of trash," Vasquez said of Farmer. "Nobody ever talked trash to me before, but I always come to fight. I never talk bad about nobody. I'll give him one thing. He's done a hell of a job promoting this fight." "This is a young man's sport," Farmer said on his YouTube video. "He better be ready. I'll beat his ass, and look good doing it. I'm four years in this game and I'm at the top right now."
The references to his age, don't rattle Vasquez. "A 30-year old Vasquez is like a Marquez," Victor said. "Older means smarter. I always come to fight, and I've never been in a bad one."
The boxing fans know this is true about Vasquez, and what they are learning about Farmer is that he too is capable of providing a lot of thrills in the ring. With both of these boxers in the ring at the same time, it is going to be good. Farmer will be fighting to prove that he is ready to step up, while Vasquez fights to prove it's not time for him to step down. The stakes and styles promise to make this fight a memorable one.
The main event isn't too shabby either. In March, Harry Joe Yorgey, 26-2-1, 12 KOs, returned to his home state for an easy comeback win after a KO loss to hot prospect Jermell Charlo. However, what he got in his fight with Julius Kennedy, 7-5-1, 3 KOs, was a gut check. The scheduled 8-rounder was cut to 6 rounds on the day of the fight, which gave Yorgey less time to work his way back from that tough loss.
Kennedy jumped out to a lead on my scorecard, and out fought Yorgey over the first four rounds. Yorgey looked tired and possibly even shot at the beginning of the fight. However, as the fight wore on, and Yorgey saw his easy win heading toward a second straight defeat, he turned up the gas and bounced back in the final two rounds. Yorgey's late surge wasn't enough to give him the win on my card, but it sealed the victory on two of the three official cards, which are the only ones that really matter. Yorgey's rally showed me that he still had plenty of fight in him, and that if the original 8-round distance had held, he appeared on his way to a win. He got the "W" anyway.
Since that night, Bridgeport, PA's Yorgey has been idle, while Kennedy, of Windsor Mill, MD, returned to the area to face a rejuvenated Decarlo Perez, in Chester on April 19th. Perez over powered Kennedy and scored a 5th round TKO that night. Both Yorgey and Kennedy will come to Valley Forge with something to prove. It makes sense that Yorgey will get it right this time, and win the way he was expected to do the first time. Kennedy hasn't officially won a bout since 2009, but he is a hard-nosed pro. So you never know. The junior middleweight bout is scheduled for 10 rounds.
The seven remaining supporting bouts are a nice slate of four and six rounders filled with local talent at various stages of their young careers. The highlights of the undercard appear to be the professional debut of West Philly amateur standout Antonio Dubose. Featherweight Dubose always seemed to have a style suited for the pros, so it will be exciting to see him begin to make his way. He is trained by former world champion Robert "Bam Bam" Hines and Percy "Buster" Custus, who runs the Shuler Gym. Dubose is scheduled to meet Lancaster's John Portillo, who is also making his pro debut in the four round fight. Lightweight Damon Allen will have his second pro start Saturday night. Allen was another outstanding amateur, and scored a KO in his pro debut in April. Allen does not yet have an opponent for the four round bout.
Light heavyweight Todd Unthank-May goes for his seventh straight victory against Michael Wilmer in a scheduled 6-round bout. The nine-bout show begins at 7:15PM, and is promoted by Reading, PA based, Marshall Kauffman's Kings Boxing. The first bout begins at 7:15PM.

Yesterday I met a friend of a good friend and the goodfriend of my boyfriend ..
The friend called Tineke has been organising parties for several years now.. and her party "Que Pasa" is moving to a new location: "The Sugar Factory" in Amsterdam. This upcoming friday "Que Pasa" will start at this new location with a special theme: "Dia de los Muertos!" translated from Spanish to English: "Day of the Dead"
a traditional and national holiday from the Mexicans where the people are focusing on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.
anyways.. we went sunday-chilling at her place..(with some good homemade mojitos!) and she asked us to make some paintings on jars of glass, which will be used to put little candles in and will be part of the decor for the party.
Ella, me and my love Sha.
Black bottle and transparant/rose/skull-jar are mine (:

Well, today wasn't the best day at the Open. Marion Bartoli didn't make it close, nor did Ana Ivanovic.
The Williams sisters once again proved why they are the best two players in the history of women's tennis. Until you beat them, you're not an elite player. That's something Ana Ivanovic—who is now 0-5 against Serena and Venus—will have to figure out.
In other tennis today: David Ferrer and Juan Ignacio Chela both move on. Robby Ginepri is up a set.
Justine and Djokovic tonight.

Meeting with more than a little retribution, Olympic track runner Lolo Jones paid for her Twitter joke about Rihanna, Drake and the Espy Awards.
Poking a little fun on Thursday (April 10), the 31-year-old wrote, "It's amazing that Drake is hosting the @Espys but it's gonna be tough for him to hand out all those awards to Rihanna's ex boyfriends."
Receiving a plethora of criticism for her joke, the runner and bobsledder seemed unbothered by the angry fans, writing on Friday, "Paleeeze. watching monologues of past espys, my joke was PG compared to how The ESPY Host will roast athletes there."
A few of the less explicit tweets read, "If they put a finish line at the end of the red carpet at the ESPY's, @lolojones won't enter the building."
"If Lolo Jones could run #DemFeets like she run her mouth she'd be a champion."
"Rihanna has an album called "loud" which ironically describes the sound of that hurdle @lolojones missed."

Blanton, William Spencer
Birth Year : 1878
Death Year : 1945
Reverend William Spencer Blanton was a Baptist minister, an educator, and an education leader. He was born in Woodford County, KY, the oldest of eight children born to John and Eliza Woodley Blanton, and according to the 1880 U.S. Federal Census, the family lived in Versailles, KY. William S. Blanton attended the colored school in Versailles and was a teacher at the school while studying at Kentucky State Normal School [a teacher training school, now Kentucky State University]. He was a 1906 graduate of Kentucky State Normal and also a graduate of Simmons University (Kentucky), and he was earning his master's degree at the University of Cincinnati when he died in 1945 [source: "The Late W. S. Blanton," Kentucky Negro Educational Association Journal, October-November 1945, v.17, no.1, p.12]. Blanton had been a teacher in the Kentucky colored schools in Henderson, Columbus, Shelbyville, Newport, and in Frankfort where he was also principal of the Mayo-Underwood High School, a building that was the result of Blanton's campaign efforts for a new school. He upgraded the school to an accredited high school and it was listed with the Southern Association, an accrediting body for high schools. He also led the campaign for the new school building in Shelbyville, and he secured funding for a new playground in Newport. Blanton taught during the summers at Kentucky State College [now Kentucky State University], he also served as a dean at the school, and at the time of his death, he was a teacher at the Oliver Street School in Winchester, KY [source: "Professor W. S. Blanton Passes," Kentucky Negro Educational Association Journal, April-May, 1925, v.16, no.2-3, p.25; and Caron's Directory of the City of Frankfort, Ky for 1914, 1915, and 1916, p.49]. Blanton had twice served as president of the Kentucky Negro Educational Association, 1935-1936 and 1936-1937, and he was chairman of the College and High School Department in the mid-1920s. He was a member of the Kentucky Negro Educational Association Board of Directors as early as 1916 [source: Proceedings of the Kentucky Negro Educational Association, April 25-28, 1916, p.1]. Blanton was also a Mason. He was a short man, standing 5 feet 4 1/4 inches when he enlisted in the U.S. Army in Versailles, KY, on October 7, 1898 [source: U.S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914]. He was a veteran of the Spanish-American War, having served with the 24 Infantry. Blanton received an Honorable Discharge on January 31, 1899, at Fort Douglas, Utah. Blanton was a private and received the remarks of "Very Good" in reference to his military service. William Spencer Blanton died April 6, 1945 at the W. A. Scott Memorial Hospital in Frankfort, KY [source: Kentucky Certificate of Death, State File No. 9802]. He was the husband of Etta R. Banks Blanton, she was also a school teacher in Kentucky. The couple lived at 200 Blanton Street in Frankfort, KY. Blanton Street was in the "Craw" area of Frankfort [source: "A petition of numerous citizens of "Craw" was presented...," The Weekly Roundabout, 07/17/1880, p.4].

text: Politics 10 September 2001 Time for some stirring music Unions should be more boastful. Unionised workplaces are not just better for employees; they also ma Sign up for our weekly email * Only just over a third of employees now have their pay and conditions set by collective bargaining. At the zenith of union power two decades ago, that figure was 75 per cent. Collective bargaining corroded away for a very straightforward reason. It was not because macho managers took the opportunities provided by the Tebbit-Thatcher laws to derecognise unions. The derecognition rate was around just 1 per cent a year in the 1980s and 1990s. Rather, it was that unions found it very difficult to achieve recognition in workplaces set up after 1980 - there were few births to offset the deaths in traditional sectors such as coal, steel and shipbuilding. There was a dearth of new recognitions not simply because private services dominated manufacturing. It has always been difficult to organise in sectors such as catering, cleaning and hospitality. Similarly, new service jobs - for example, call-centres now employ almost half a million people - do not easily fit the pattern of collective industrial relations. But even in manufacturing, the bedrock of private sector unionisation, only one workplace in every seven set up in the past 20 years is now unionised, compared with half of those established before 1980. So one major challenge facing the trade union movement is to boost the flow of new recognitions. But there is another, less remarked hazard. Of the 8.5 million employees covered by collective bargaining, 3.1 million are not union members (see table on the next page). They are free-riders who get all the benefits of union membership but make no contribution to the resources required to negotiate collective agreements and to serve members. Closed shops - where union membership is a requirement to get or keep a job - were outlawed by 1990. About a quarter of employees (five million) were in a closed shop in 1980, so it is not surprising that some of these defected from the union when they got the chance. But even where there was no closed shop, the percentage of the workforce in the union has declined. As Neil Millward of the National Institute of Economic Research put it, many employees "seem to have lost their taste for unions". The table shows that 70 per cent of employees are not union members. If just 2 per cent of these 16.7 million employees could be signed up each year for the next ten years, the union movement would be transformed - with more than three million extra members. But how is this to be done? Unions are already showing vision both at the TUC and on their own. The Organising Academy trains young union activists and they have achieved considerable success in recruiting new members. Individual unions are making judicious use of the new laws promoting recognition which came into force last year. Hardly any of these new recognitions have gone through the full legal process - that would result in a shotgun marriage between capital and labour. Instead, most new recognitions are marriages of convenience, arranged in the shadow of the law - a pragmatic deal that suits both parties. And sometimes such marriages will blossom into true love, perhaps like the partnership agreements at the Inland Revenue, European Gas Turbines, Unisys and Tesco. But unions are having to run hard just to stand still. For example, despite the young activists and the use of the new laws, the membership of TUC-affiliated unions fell last year. The trade union movement should surely make more of its achievements in its efforts to sign up employers and recruit individuals. Writing four decades ago, Alan Flanders, the most thoughtful contemporary observer of industrial relations, stated: "Trade unions can fairly be described as a 'sword of justice'. That is the continual social purpose which has fired their idealistic motivation." He believed that unions "are not making the most of their own stirring music, their great theme of the cry for justice, and by default seem only to be listening to the clinking of cash". The "clinking of cash" is less relevant now - it is only in firms with monopoly power that unions extract much of a wage premium. But the sword of justice remains sharp - surely able to appeal to some of the 17 million or so non-members. Consider some examples, all drawn from recent research in the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics. Unions lower the industrial accident rate. Unions are more likely to be recognised where the number of accidents is high - workers need union protection in such sectors. But the evidence shows that the number of injuries is 25 per cent lower in these unionised workplaces than in non-union workplaces in comparable firms. Next, companies that recognise the union are much more likely to have some form of equal opportunity policy and an array of family-friendly policies designed to encourage female employment. Sue Fernie and Helen Gray of the LSE summarise the evidence: "Women in unionised workplaces are much better off in terms of career opportunities, flexible work arrangements and general support for family responsibilities than their counterparts in non-union workplaces." Unionised workplaces are more likely to have an equal opportunity policy, to monitor it and to measure its impact on the workplace. Likewise, where a union is recognised, flexible work practices are more common, including parental leave, working from home, term-only contracts, the possibility of switching from full- to part-time employment and job shares. Finally, unions reduce the spread of earnings. Low-paid cleaners and highly paid City bankers are obviously less likely to belong to a union. But even when we compare similar employees in similar workplaces and jobs, the dispersion of pay is lower for union employees than for non-union workers. This has profound implications. Unions compress the wage structure between men and women, blacks and whites and those with health problems and those without (see table). If there were no unions, the gender pay gap would be 2.6 per cent wider and the black/white pay gap 1.4 per cent bigger. These are big effects. For example, the introduction of the national minimum wage in 1999 narrowed the gender gap by nearly 1 per cent - but the impact of unions is treble this. The trade union movement certainly yields many attractive outcomes - if only it would make more of its "stirring music" to appeal to employees. But what about management? A US management consultant speaking at a recent union-busting conference in London likened union recognition to "an economic heart attack". Many managers probably agree. But they are wrong - again, there is no reason for unions to be defensive. It is true that the probability of above-average financial performance is lower, on average, where a union is recognised. But this overall, average effect comes about only because unions siphon off some of the monopoly profits where there are few competitors - a benign transfer from capital to labour. By contrast, in sectors where there is real competition in the product market, union recognition enhances the likelihood of above-average performance. I have never heard a single union leader refer to this crucial outcome of collective bargaining. Similarly, many organisations try to steer clear of family-friendly policies, fearing they damage the bottom line. The reverse is true - family-friendly policies (which, remember, are more likely to be found in unionised workplaces) boost economic performance. Workplaces with an array of family-friendly policies, as compared with those without, enjoy better financial performance, faster growth in labour productivity, harder-working employees, a better-quality product or service and lower rates of staff resignations and absence. Again, why has no union leader publicised this - particularly when seeking a partnership agreement to gain recognition? In order to flourish, trade unions must appeal to both individual employees and to management. The evidence of the impact of unions - for example, fewer accidents, a fairer pay structure and superior business performance via family-friendly policies - suggests they can win over workers and management. Have they the will to do so? David Metcalf is professor of industrial relations at the London School of Economics and a member of the Low Pay Commission.

Shouldn't this be in Tutorials & Guides or Howtos?
After rolling around for a while on my SD-booted BT3 installation without persistant changes, I'm pretty decent at the BT3 + Eee PC quickstart. Here are my notes for getting Karma and Airsnarf up and running once you've got BT3 booting from an SD or USB device.
# Karma: directions: (1) select Karma from menu,
# (2) apply three fixes, (3) put the card into monitor mode
# and (4) run the scripts
# fix 1: fix bad udev
sudo nano ./modules/servers/AccessPoint.module.xml
# fix all the paths for iwpriv, ifconfig etc.
# get rid of /usr/ in /usr/bin/udev
# ctrl-x to exit, type "y" and save with given write path
# fix 2: fix Asus Eee bind error
sudo nano ./bin/karma
# add sleep(2) before the end of the
# function that says "#run modules now"
# ctrl-x to exit, type "y" and save with given write path
# fix 3: fix HttpServers module
sudo nano ./modules/servers/HttpServer/module.xml
# change line that starts "redirect = @mod.options['redirect']"
# replace with multi-line (no quotes):
# "redirect = @mod.options['redirect']
# if redirect.nil?
# redirect="/controller/"
# end"
# set monitor mode or master mode
# master mode is for fake AP; monitor mode is used in discovery
# don't worry about running ./bin/monitor-mode.sh
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
# (monitor: wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor)
# if you use the run command with the interface attached,
# you shouldn't have to modify the xml files
# type sudo nano ./etc/karma.xml to change that
# and the SSID of the fake AP
./bin/karma ./etc/karma.xml ath0
# scan: ./bin/karma ./etc/karma-scan.xml ath0
# Airsnarf directions: (1) select Airsnarf from BT menu, (2) clean house,
# (3) set rogue interface; (4) create rogue interface,
# (5) create monitor interface, and (6) run Airsnarf
sudo kwrite ./cfg/airsnarf.cfg
# set ROGUE INTERFACE = ath1
# (or the correct interface)
# if anything is up, use "wlanconfig athX destroy"
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath1 wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
# it should confirm with "ath1"
wlanconfig ath0 wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor
# it should confirm with "ath0"
# run Airsnarf
Shouldn't this be in Tutorials & Guides or Howtos?
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Please feel free to move it around to wherever it will do the most good. Thanks
I have tried for months to get both airsnarf and karma to run on eeepc without success with a lot of much appreciated help. Spotted your guide on airsnarf and thought just what I am looking for, still no success. I have eeepc with BT3 on sd card.
1 Do you have to create both ath0 & ath1?
2 Should your instruction read wlanconfig ath1 create wlanmode etc
3 airsnarf tells me there's already a DHCP server running
4 message httpd: Could not reliably determine the servers fully qualified domain name using 127.0.0.1
5 Setting up listening sockets for for 0.0.0.0
6 Creating TCP socket for 0.0.0.0 - done
7 Creating UDP socket for 0.0.0.0 - done
8 Waiting for connections.
should items 5 - 7 have a valid ip address?
Will try your karma guide another time. Any ideas as what I am doing wrong with air snarf?
many thanks

Pierre, an avid participant of the game, runs into one problem after another that devilishly compromises his secrets, turning the tables on him and his objective, which diverges as the movie progresses. Firstly, wishing to be certain he has selected a winner, he invited his guest, Mr. Pignon, to meet him at home before setting off; but night of all nights, Pierre has put his back out and it is questionable whether he can manage to get to the dinner. The blundering Mr. Pignon will continually spring forward to help relieve Pierre of his troubles, which have drastically compounded, pointing in the direction of friends, taxes and women, and Pierre's dimwit Pignon accordingly will prove his substance to the end.

Frequently Asked Questions about the UH Server Registration & Scanning Requirements
Q. Why am I required to register and scan my servers?
A. As a result of the recent data breaches, the University of Hawaii is implementing a new, systemwide Information Security Program to better protect the university's sensitive information. Many servers are not regularly monitored, managed, patched or otherwise protected. This places the information stored on them at a high risk of being compromised. In addition, the users of servers may put information online without realizing that they are improperly making sensitive information available, in violation of UH policies. Registration of servers is common practice in universities today, including with highly distributed IT environments such as UH.
Q. What will happen if I don't register and/or scan my servers?
A. If you do not register a server after being requested to do so, your server may be blocked from being accessed over the University of Hawaii network and your Chancellor/VP (or designee) notified of the existence and risk of the unregistered and unscanned server. ITS will proactively seek out active servers throughout the UH network by performing OpenVAS and nmap scans. ITS will provide warning before blocking unregistered active servers that are found.
Q. What is the deadline to comply with this requirement?
A. All servers are required to be scanned and remediated for vulnerabilities and sensitive information by October 19, 2015. If sensitive information (as defined in UH Executive Policy E2.214) is stored on a server, the information on the server must be immediately protected in compliance with E2.214.
Any new servers that are brought up after July 30, 2011 are required to be registered immediately upon server implementation and deployment. If the server contains Social Security Numbers, Driver's License Numbers and/or credit card or bank account information, the repository of sensitive information must be reported in the UH Annual Personal Information Survey as required by Hawaii Revised Statutes 487N-7.
Q. Are all servers required to be scanned?
A. Yes. The most common file server types are: web servers, FTP servers, email servers and file servers.
Q. What types of scans do I need to do?
A. You need to scan for personally identifiable information. The University of Hawaii has licensed Identity Finder to scan Windows and Mac operating systems: http://www.hawaii.edu/askus/1297. You can use Find_SSN to scan linux/unix systems: http://www.hawaii.edu/askus/1323
You also need to scan the servers for vulnerabilities. To scan your computer for vulnerabilities, please use the OpenVAS web interface: http://openvas.hawaii.edu/cgi-bin/myopenvas
Q. Who can I contact if I have questions or need more information?

USF opened up the game on a 26-8 run and were able to cruise past the Pirates, 68-49, to even its Big East record at 2-2 on the season. "This league is so tough to go on the road, so anytime you can go on the road and win it is impressive," head coach Jose Fernandez said. The win was huge for a team that played two top-25 teams tough over the past week. "I am just glad that we were able to bounce back and get the win. We had two tough losses in a row against top-25 teams in Georgetown and Louisville that we should have won, so it was good to bounce back," Fernandez said. The hot-shooting Bulls shot 42 percent from the floor in the game behind the shooting of junior Inga Orekhova who scored a career high 20 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Orekhova also hit five threes in the game and was one of three players in double-figures for USF along with Jasmine Wynne, who had 14, and Kaneisha Saunders, who had 10. Wynne's 14 points marked the 14th straight game that the senior has scored at least 10 points. The Bulls also put an emphasis on rebounding the basketball and did so in the win outrebounding the Pirates 40-33 marking the eighth time this season that the team has had an advantage on the glass improving to 7-1 when they accomplish the feat. USF was able to play outstanding defense, limiting Seton Hall to just 49 points, while forcing them into 13 turnovers. And the Bulls turned the turnovers into points. USF capitalized on the fast break outscoring the Pirates 11-0 when they would able to get out and run the floor. The Bulls were able to keep the pressure on after the hot start to earn the road win. "We preach to our guys that we need to play 40 minutes, and we were able to do that," Fernandez said. USF FG-A 3FG-A FT-A Pts. Inga Orekhova 7-12 5-9 1-2 20 SHU FG-A 3FG-A FT-A Pts.
