Reviewing 9.2.100 (Sep 17, 2012)
Xteq X-Setup Pro 6.6 was the long-standing "final free" version that was retained free for loyal users who loved the original freeware program, arguably the very best of all XP (and earlier) tweak machines.
Although 6.6 was always available, paid-for versions—with apologies for no longer being free—continued through XQDC 9.2.100 (June 2010).
X-Setup was always meticulously prepared and its myriad available tweaks were cross-referenced and annotated. It was truly a beautiful program, the epitome of freeware produced for the love of creativity. The developers were always personable and quite emotional in their close relationships with end-users.
As of Sept 2012, I still include both Xteq X-Setup 6.6 as well as XQDC X-Setup Pro 9.2.100 operational in my Windows 7 64-bit OS, not so much because I need them as simply a gesture of "keeping the faith" in the best of the best.

Reviewing 9.2.100 (Jun 3, 2009)
Functionality is great, as is the comprehensiveness, but there really hneeds to be an optionallowing you to see each tweak only ONCE in classic view. Two many of the tweaks qualify to appear in multiple categgories, and so they are duplicated again and again as you work your way down the tree.

**SOLD**175th Anniversary 2008 Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Sunburst with optional Martin/Fishman Gold Plus Natural 1 transducer & endpin jack.
This 000-28EC is from my personal collection. I'm sure most are familiar with this popular model so I won't waste space by pasting the specifications. It is in excellent condition with absolutely no issues and of course it comes with it's original 533E Geib style case. This instrument lives with my other Martins in my home office, smoke free and at a constant environment of 70° and 50% RH.
This guitar plays and sounds as amazing as you would expect. I wish you could here it with the Tone Match System on my Bose L1 Model 2. Regrettably the arthritis in my left hand isn't a fan of the modified "V" shaped neck so I've decided to give it a new home. $2900.00 plus actual shipping cost.
You can contact me for more info or images at [email protected]

[WASHINGTON-SEATTLE: Men] A standing-room only crowd of 3,100 watched top-ranked Washington beat neighbor Seattle, 4-2, to advance to only its second round-of-16 appearance in the NCAA Men's Tournament. The Huskies (15-1-4) opened up a 4-0 lead before Seattle make it interesting with two goals seconds apart in the 72nd minute.
Josh Heard had a goal and two assists, while freshman star Cristian Roldan had a goal and an assist on Darwin Jones' opening goal.
James Moberg assisted on goals by Heard and Roldan for goals before Mason Robertson made it 4-0 in the 66th minute, scoring in his fourth straight game.
But the Redhawks got goals 27 seconds apart from Chase Hanson and Brady Ballew to reduce UW's lead in half, but key saves by Ryan
Herman on shots by Hanson and Miguel Gonzalez two minutes later calmed the storm.
The loss ended Seattle's unbeaten streak at 10 games ended
its first appearance in any Division I sport since 1964. (It spent many years as an NAIA and Division II school.)
"This was terrific and it's what you want out of a collegiate
soccer game between cross-town rivals," said Seattle coach Pete Fewing. "We had packed stands and six goals, which is a lot. I'm proud of our
guys for never giving up. They have a terrific team, the Huskies are a very good team and it's fun to play in a game like this. I'm proud of the fact that we didn't give up. I give
credit to the Huskies with four goals and I expect they'll do great things in this tournament."

Final Jeopardy time, kids. The category: "Musical Activism." You have 30 seconds to respond to this clue: "This band crafted a mission statement to guide its musical activities." Quote its mission statement for an extra $1,000.
"Oh that's easy," some of you are thinking. "Who is U2? Their mission, for an extra grand: 'To become bigger than the Beatles.'"
"No, man," others of you grumble. "The correct question is, 'Who are the Rolling Stones,' and their mission: 'Tour religiously into our 80s.'"
Those of you in the musicians-as-degenerates camp might be thinking that the question is this: "Who are the Sex Pistols, whose mission: 'Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Hell, f@*% the rock 'n' roll, just bring on the drugs and the sex.'"
The most savvy readers have, of course, already read this article's headline and know that the band in question is Missoula's own Cold Mountain. This band's mission? According to bassist Zach Millar, the band's five members have dedicated themselves "to bring positive change to the world with our music."
Before a recent backyard chat with four members of Cold Mountain, I had never heard of a band with a mission statement (and I've even been in a few bands: $500 bonus if you can name one of them). Yet anyone who is familiar with the live shows of Cold Mountain and the band's precursor—the Cold Mountain Rhythm Band—is probably not surprised to learn of the band's unselfishness and commitment to bringing happiness to those touched by their music.
Anyone who attended either of the MUDdi Gras masquerade balls in 1999 and 2000 to benefit the Missoula Urban Demonstration project will tell you of halls full of happy partygoers, their ear-to-ear grins fueled by the energetic, blissful music of the Cold Mountain Rhythm Band. The band members, for their part, donated their time, playing only for dinner and drinks because they felt so strongly about the cause.
In the intervening years, members of Cold Mountain have retained their enthusiasm and their undaunted positivism. Yet, much has also changed with the band.
For one thing, Cold Mountain has made a clean break with the band's past incarnation as the CMRB. As they prepare to celebrate the release of their CD, To the West, the Cold Mountain boys are sure to point out that this disc is the band's debut, despite the fact that each of the band's members played on CMRB's self-titled release.
"This band is a different flavor," says drummer Bob Hansen, and one, it seems, that tastes awfully good right now to the band's five members: Hansen, Millar, John Curtis on piano and organ, Tory Dugan on fiddle, and Damian Mast on banjo. While all five contribute on vocals, most of the singing is handled by Curtis, and the rapping by Dugan, who periodically steps out from behind his fiddle to assume the persona of "the White Panther."
Dugan's first rap on To the West is "40 Below Cold," in which he displays a bit of the musical activism that Cold Mountain embraces.
"Ending all motors on the National Forests was a matter of course, an outright attack," raps Dugan, expressing his distaste for the desecration of federally-managed wildlands by motorized recreationalists. He goes on to lay out the song's take-home message: "Wilderness is the only thing left worth saving."
Lest the uninitiated get the impression that Cold Mountain is the Missoula music scene's version of Eminem, it should be pointed out that Dugan's raps are a small part of the band's ever-maturing repertoire. The band's press release takes a crack at defining Cold Mountain's music: "A mixture of high energy music taking the listener from bluegrass, Celtic, ragtime, musical theater, to hip-hop and rock."
Cold Mountain's musical versatility and enthusiasm are best experienced live, preferably in a room full of people who are dancing and smiling widely. When asked why people should buy To The West even though it only offers periodic glimpses into the energy produced by Cold Mountain's live shows, Millar hearkens back to the band's mission:
"There's only one reason to buy our CD or any CD, and that's because when you listen to it, it makes you happy."

Police departments in the United States, especially those in big cities, face an array of challenges — not just the familiar duties of responding to emergencies and investigating crimes, but also keeping abreast of the latest advances in forensic science and addressing community relations, race relations, youth violence, street gangs, organized crime, cybercrime, and terrorism.
"It seems like police chiefs have to master a thousand things," notes Harvard Kennedy School professor Christopher Stone. He says that he and his coauthor Jeremy Travis, president of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, are offering police officials "a new organizing framework, which attempts to redefine what policing means, while helping them manage the hugely complex set of issues they have to deal with."
Stone and Travis call their approach the "new professionalism," to distinguish it from a mid-20th-century model some- times referred to as professional crime fighting — a style of policing "deliberately removed from communities," according to the authors, which "failed to produce adequate public safety." Some of the problems stemming from the insularity of police departments were alleviated in the 1980s and 1990s, when "community policing" came into vogue. Community policing represented a significant step forward, though its scope was somewhat limited, says Stone. "It was largely focused on community relations, leaving out many of the things that police departments must contend with."
The new professionalism, he and Travis believe, can better encapsulate the ever-expanding mission of today's police forces. This framework consists of four key elements: accountability, legitimacy, innovation, and coherence. "Twenty years ago, the term 'police accountability' generally referred to accountability for misconduct," Stone and Travis write. They have something far broader in mind: making police officers accountable for their actions not only to their own departments but also to various government entities, citizens, and journalists.
While police departments are granted their authority by law, they need to earn their legitimacy from the public, gaining people's trust and confidence through each and every interaction, Stone and Travis maintain. "Those citizens and groups most disaffected by past harms or present conditions have the greatest claims to attention on this score," they write.
Policing in the mid 20th century stifled innovation, the authors argue, because "police managers were so concerned about the dangers of corruption and a loss of discipline that they suppressed the creative impulses of frontline officers who wanted to try new ways of solving crime problems." That philosophy is changing — as it needs to, they add. "By a commitment to innovation we mean active investment of personnel and resources both in adapting policies and practices proven effective in other departments and in experimenting with new ideas."
Policing in the United States is inherently decentralized. There are approximately 20,000 separate departments — a fact that makes them susceptible to parochialism, with some branches conducting business in their own way, as they always have, out of step with the latest practices. Stone and Travis would like to bring some coher- ence to the field, as well as professionalism, through organizations such as the Police Foundation and the Police Executive Research Forum, which foster a commitment to continuing education and host national conversations among practitioners and researchers about the best current protocols.
The authors recommend some consolidation among the 80 percent of the nation's police departments that have fewer than 25 officers, to provide more-professional services to the public. "There are things a department of 100 to 200 can do that a department of 10 to 20 cannot," Stone says. He and Travis would also like to see greater mobility across jurisdictions, with more police personnel recruited from outside their departments and even outside their states.
To some extent, all these things are happening today. Progress is being made toward achieving the four criteria laid out by Travis and Stone. "We just want to encourage this movement," says Stone. "Our paper represents an effort to summarize what we see happen- ing in the field and to urge departments to move more aggressively in this direction."

Removing dsc switch panel
Hi, I've just purchased replacement front heated seats for my 3.0 petrol 2004. I have got a replacement dsc switch panel but i do not know how to remove the current one in my car. Can anyone advise, preferably with photos or pics.
It seems that car is already prewired for the heated seats......so it looks like I need to change the seats, put the new switch panel in, relay and fuse......hopefully this will work.
I don't want to damage the switch panel or fascia.
Found out....
Just used a thin flat edged screwdriver to ease one of the sides out....it then just pulls out.

Eastern Africa is the new fossil fuel frontier. In the last few years Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Mozambique have discovered large quantities of commercially viable oil and gas deposits, with the potential for even more discoveries as more aggressive prospecting continues. There is reason to be upbeat about the region's economic prospects over the next three decades, or at least before the oil runs out.
Africa's Energy Security Contingent on Energy Sector Integration
According to a recent survey by Ernst & Young, 44% of businesspeople in Africa identified inadequate infrastructure as one of the key constraints to doing business in the region.

Fear impels us to survive, and love enables us to thrive. This complimentary pair of feelings has been the driving force of human history.

Pontiac Build advice
Okay, how about some help for a new guy who needs some guidance.....
I am building a 400 Pontiac from scratch. The foundation is a 77 WA block, to be punched out 0.030, and use flat top forged stock style pistons and stock, reconditioned rods. I want to use a 455 crank, commercially available with the journals already turned to 3'. On top I want to use the Edelbrock Performer intake and carb, 750 CFM. I have a set of #96 heads, which have not been touched as yet. I would like to use a roller cam, roller lifters, roller rockers, roller timing chain, etc. I'll gasket match the intake, heads, and exhaust, too.
I also plan on installing a crossover exhaust, attached to Doug's ceramic coated headers. I also have a 3.73 rear end to put in.
I guess my main concern is what work to have done on my heads. I want to do my own porting and polishing, so that's a given. How much, if any, should I have milled to avoid too much compression for high octane pump gas? I don't want an astronomical compression ratio, but I want a streetable machine with decent manners. What would be the best choice of cam, and should I ditch the thoughts of a roller and just go hydraulic, or I am I going in the right direction? Given the information I have included, and my aspirations, what do you think the potential HP would be, as well as a possible figure on the CR?
Finally, I have a higher than stock converter, but I am really unsure what the stall speed is; it's a B&M, so if you can tell me where the stall speed might be indicated in the converter, I'd be appreciative.
I am not an incredibly technically-oriented person, but I am getting aclimated little by little to how these engines can work best; obviously, I still need some guidance, and that's what I'm appealing to you folks for. I have read alot of posts, and I know you guys are out there. SO, what do you think?
I honestly don't have any experience with roller cams but you could try and contact this guy, Steve Coombs. He's got a ton of experience with them.
CR on current combo
You seem to be on the right track for a potent street motor. With the 400 bored .030 over and the heads being their original 96cc before milling and the 4.21 stroke of the 455 crank you'd be looking at 9.06:1 compression with 6.7 cc piston dish and .039 gasket thickness.
This is assuming the block has never been decked and the piston is still .020 in the hole. If you have the block and heads surfaced just to true up the mounting surfaces you could easily get 9.4:1 CR. I would recommend staying below 9.8:1 for iron heads and pump gas.
The cost of a full roller set up may not make the roller cam and lifters worthwhile. If you are going to be cleaning up the heads and not having them professionally ported you won't need them anyway. Are you wanting to build an all out race motor or just a potent street motor. IMO the $$$ for roller cam and lifters could be used to upgrade the rods. (build a better foundation as the factory cast rods will be your weak link in this motor)
1.65 roller rockers and a good hydraulic or solid cam will suffice.
I have to differ with drew a little.
Since you are building a street motor, I think the rods will be fine, as long as you don't twist this thing too high. I personally think a roller cam is a great upgrade, just expensive. It's an easy way of freeing up some ponies. In your post, you said you have flat tops, and drew gave a compression ratio with dish pistons of 9.06. That would mean you'd be over that and like he said, with iron heads, you shouldn't go too high. True up the heads and block (if neccessary), and you should be fine. Like drew said, you should have a nice street pounder when you're done! Good luck!
Good advice!
Guys, thanks for your input. SOunds like you two have been there and done it already....
I DO want a hot street machine; I am somewhat of a perfectionist, and a little of an egomaniac.... gotta have bigger, stronger, faster. Some guys at work have some high end machines, like 454 SS's, a 428CJ, so I want to fall in there somewhere. BUT, I don't want to have a high priced car that runs like crap. Blueprinting is a very important aspect to me, and that's what this is....... in the end, if the parts don't match up, you have nothing but a fistful of bills. In addition, I have already gone to great pains to totally redo the underside; I installed new springs and shocks, front and rear, a 1 1/8 inch sway bar in the rear, Hyperflex poly urethene bushings all the way around so that the torque and HP goes to the pavement and holds the vehicle on the road. It already has a quick ratio steering box.
I think the stock rods ought to be good up to 600 HP or maybe better; the question to me is at what treshhold will my HP and CR exceed good streetability, and climb into the higher fuel demands, as well as more intensive maintenance. If it means cutting back to a milder cam, I might consider that. I would like to achieve 450 - 500 HP, which given this combination, I think is reasonable. Maybe more on the 450 side, anyway.......
Once again, thanks for the input... it will be helpful in the long run of this project!
As far as streetability is concerned and cam choice, roller will free up a few ponies, but nothing that you'll really feel. A good strong cam will make the best difference. First, you don't want to buzz any Pontiac too high, but with the pressure distribution on 3" journals, you could look for a cam with a little higher range. Honestly, the new Crane blueprint cams are great. I'm running the "068" grind Ram Air cam in my Pontiac 350 and it's great, just wild enough to be fun, but streetable. The next step up, and what I'm considering for my 400 is the Ram Air IV cam which crane also has. It would be in the perfect power range for your intake and heads, and would still keep a good amount of torque available down low.
As far as heads are concerned, I would mill only what you have to to make sure they've got a level deck. If you're running flat top pistons you'll decrease compression area quite a bit (approximately 6cc). Using the CR calculator and a .042 crushed gasket thickness (slightly larger than common, but helps you be optimistic), I got a CR of 9.33:1. That's pretty decent for a street car, and with the Ram Air IV cam, you'd be able to run pump gas easy. I also had some flow number for your heads and just plugged all your specs into Desktop Dyno, using the Ram Air IV cam and 9.33:1 CR and got about 415hp and about 480ft-lbs @ 4500RPM. Now Desktop Dyno is not the do-all-end-all by any means but it gets you into the ball park, and this ball park would be a quick, torquey little 400.
adryan - would you be willing to desktop dyno my combo? I'd like to know roughly what hp I have.
Thanks again!
Thanks Adryan.... that is some good stuff. And, the info from your desktop dyno is very helpful too. Thanks again to all who have responded.
I think you are on the right track for your Indian. I personally would prefer just a flat tappet hydraulic cam for your warrior due to economics and the low rpm nature of a Pontiac. Your combination, with a modern flat-tappet hydraulic will easily produce the power you are looking for with some tremendous low speed torque. Of course, the fast ramps of a roller cam , albeit it's the proper grind for a big inch Poncho would make more power, but the horsepower per dollar return will not be that attractive. Also keep in mind the valvetrain improvements you will need to make to use the roller cam. You will more than likely need longer than stock valves to get away from the very short installed height of the stock type Pontiac valve springs and all of the roller cam orientated stuff will need to be top notch, so expect to spend some $$$$$.
being a pontiac guy and after reading tons and tons of set ups in the hpp magazine, the experts always say, keep compression ratio's low... 9.5:1 is lots in a big block, keep in mind that a 400 inch big block has gobs and gobs of torque, and stroking it with the 455 crank may not be the best way to go, you'll gain a bit of torque but the hp numbers will be very very simalar... you just have to think which will be the best hp per dollar way to go, keep in mind my 67 gto stock makes 366hp... it's a raIII enigne however, most are rated 335hp... mines "rated" 366hp... however it's more realistacally around 400hp... stock... look for a good set of heads, 670's are desirable, raIII heads and need little or no port work to flow decent numbers simply smooth them up with a dremal and they'll flow pretty decent,if you want to port your stock heads however the power isn;t found in gasket matchning the heads, the power is found mopstly in unshrouding the valves... do that a long with gasket matching and polishing the chambers and you should see a significant increase in power... the main thing to consider is camshaft selection... i'd reccomend just going with a flat tappet style hydrolic cam, sure the roller is nice, but not neccesarry, the extra cost is rediculous, if you use something like the edelbrock performer rpm camshaft and performer rpm intake, with a decent carb, you should see some respectfull numbers somewhere around 410hp and 420ftlbs of torque... thats providing you stick with 400cubes... if it's stroked with the 455 crank maybe 420hp and 440ftlbs of torque... but it's hard to say, just keep in mind, how much is 10 hp worth? and another thing you'll have to cinsider is how often your going to drive it, and what you intend to do with it, you may have to make comprimises with it, the long stroke may not be good for a often driven vehicle... if you want a bit bigger cam you can go with a edelbrock torker plus cam, it's got a bit more duration and a bit more lift than the performer rpm cam, and if used with a torker 2 intake you could see 450hp.... thats personally the set up i'm going to be using on my new enigne that i'll be building this winter is the torker plus cam and the torker 2 intake, along with flat tops and my 670 heads it should make a decent street machine and gobs of torque... keep in mind big blocks don;t need a lot of lift to make big power...

the long stroke may not be good for a often driven vehicle... if you want a bit --- KLRS10
Man, this is disinformation at it's best. How can stroking the engine make it less streetable? The longer stroke will build more low-speed power and just all around power for that matter. This is the best mod he can make aside from supercharging or nitrous oxide for power.
455 = more torque. The more torque the better.
I think if diferenntial is higer than stock, make more torque from engine and use 6speed AT/gearbox(richmond gear).use little bit more rpm cam that mid range
i was looking at it from a hp per dollar standpoint... as we all know aftermarket cranks like he is talking are very expensive... i know cuz i had one in my s-10 i used a lunati 3.5" crank and it just wasn't worth the money for what i was doing with it (yes i know that stock stroke is 3.48 on a 350) and as we all know the longer stroke engines generally heat up a lot more too, and if you think that the 400 alone isn't gunna create lots of torque.... think again, they make AWESOME amounts of low end torque with a very streetable set up..
how come when somone strokes their enigne they think they are god? i don;t know but personally i've seen lots of strokers and ridden in many strokers and they just don't impress me... there's this one guy i town that swears his truck is the fastest thing in the wodls because it has a 383 stroker in it... and i know for a fact even with my low compression and turbo grind cam that my truck would destroy it, but he won't let me prove it.. and i run mid 14's with the set up i have now... my gto with the bone stock enigne that is completely original still pulls down 13's... and thats a 4000+lb car... i'm simply stating that he does not need to stroke the engine to make respectable hp numbersand turn awesome times...

A reconsideration.....
One thing that is helpful in reading other's opinions, and factual information, about engine building is that it gives one time to examine the options for a bit. One thing that I was thinking, is that since the 400 block is basically the same block as the 455 (the stroke is different, and the main journals are beefier in the 455), outside the gain in torque, what am I to benefit by the stroker concept? I COULD just drop in a 455 and be done with it, but the versatility of the Pontiac block enables one to make this choice, depending upon what the plan for the auto is. I would like to be able to drive it whenever I want, and I don't plan to baby it because of fuel concerns (but hey, at today's prices, we might ALL have to make that consideration soon!) or wear and tear on the valvetain, etc. , but I don't want to consider it a daily driver, either. I'm a hot dog by nature, and a show off, plain and simple, so I'll be flaunting my TA and all it's HP in front of all the Chevy nuts I work with at every opportunity.
If the power gains from the roller are so minimal, I may want to scrap that plan, and maybe the crank too, but regardless, a new crank is going in, so why not the 455? Same price (check the seller "gofaststuff" on ebay.... they sell Eagle cranks, both sizes, same money), same deal to balance, same rods, etc., so I guess I have somewhat rationalized myself into the stroker, but what's anyone else's opinion on the cam selection? Still stick with all the roller components like lifters, timing chain, rockers, etc? My thought is possibly the Comp Cams S Kit in an appropriate combination with a Performer intake (because I DO want to keep the rev's low, rather than the RPM Performer and the 1500-6500 range). Also what do you all think about the carb? What do you think is the best option there?

- The Rothbury Festival has been cancelled for 2010!
What's happening to this summer's music festivals?
AEG and Madison House just announced that this year's 2010 Rothbury Festival was being cancelled — but for some very unusual reasons. According to the festival's web site, the fest said, "A contributing factor to the decision is that due to various artists' recording and touring schedules, we now believe that timing will not allow for us to assemble the cutting edge roster that everyone has come to expect from Rothbury."
The Rothbury page, said the event was looking ahead to returning 2011.
Huh? How can one of the biggest concert groups not be able to score talent for one of the top music festivals in the country?
Here's the info direct from the Rothbury page: http://www.rothburyfestival.com/
It gets even more interesting. The Muskegon Chronicle just reported that Rothbury city business leaders immediately started looking at putting on their own down-scaled event this summer. They're already dubbing it Rothbury Homegrown.
Read that article here at: www.mlive.com/rothbury/index.ssf/2010/01/smaller_rothbury_homegrown_eve.html
Stay tuned, this could get interesting.
Then, word got out this weekend about the 10,00o Lakes Festival taking a 2010 break. The fest's web site states that 10,000 Lakes is indeed taking the year off. Here's the info: http://www.10klf.com/
So. how many music festivals does that leave us?

Condition is everything but, for a 6" blue Colt Python in say 95%+ condition you honestly cannot lose paying $850.00 - Go to gunbroker.com & type Colt Python into the search block.
There are usually quite a few of them on there in Nickel, Stainless Steel & Blue and in various barrel lengths and degrees of condition.
Scroll through them all and click on the 6" Blue Pythons and compare the one you want with the photos and asking prices.
Keep in mind though that some GunBroker sellers always ask a premium price and their guns often do not get bids.
For a nice condition Python that has not been screwed around with you're usually safe paying any amount under a grand.
MINT condition & Vintage N.I.B. (of course) fetch much more.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Overview:Total Club Manager 2004 was developed by Budcat Creations and published by EA. It is a football managing simulator, in it you can take control of a variety of different clubs located throughout Europe and Asia. The game features 1200 different teams from 32 leagues and 18,000 players. At the start of the game you choose what club you want to manage and you take over as manager at that club. Your responsibilities vary greatly at the club, you have to do many jobs including controlling ticket sales, keeping track of the clubs finances as well as creating youth acadimies. The game also allows you to expand your stadium to capacitate more fans and generate more money.You can sign players to your team as well as sell your players to other teams. You pick the team you want to play fro each game and you want to have on your bench as substitutes, you pick your teams formation and assign players to their positions. Players contracts need to be managed, you have to renew players contracts and keep them happy at the club so that they will stay, when you sign a player you have to negotiate their contract and if they aren't happy with the contract they will not join the club.During a game:Before a game you can place a bet of between £1000-£99,000 on your team winning the game. You have three ways to view the game, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, you can either skip the game and get the end result this means that you have no control on the game and the score is up to luck and probability, or you can watch the game and give your team instructions and make substitions, this however takes around 10 minutes as you have to watch the game being played, or, finally, if you have FIFA 2004 you can play the game as you would a FIFA game.

"I found that by adding the familiar taste of barbecue sauce, (kids) were more apt to try it. Over the years, this has become one of our favorite ways to eat salmon," says Kathy Marek, who provided this recipe.
Nutritional information: 230 calories, 11 g carbohydrate, 26 g protein, 8 g fat (1.5 saturated, 2.7 g omega-3), 70 mg cholesterol, 320 mg sodium.
1 pound salmon steak fillets with the skin on one side
Nonstick spray
½ cup barbecue sauce
Light the grill. Heat to 350 degrees or medium heat. Spray grill
generously with nonstick spray.
Grill the salmon, skin side down, over moderate heat until the
skin is lightly charred and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Spread a layer of your favorite barbecue sauce on the fish. Turn
the salmon. When turning, slide the salmon steak from the skin. The
skin will stay on the grill and you can flip the steak. Now apply
more sauce.
Grill until just cooked thoroughly, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
Transfer the fish to a platter.

Augmented Reality Turns Kitchen Table Into Game Terrain
Virtual race game in the physical setting of your home allows for books and cereal bowls to become obstacles.
Dekko, San Francisco based tech startup, is focused on exploring the endless possibilities of augmented reality in its new Tabletop Speed game that allows users to play a racing game on table surfaces using iPhones and iPads.
So far, augmented reality apps and games have been gimmicky stories living their 15 minutes of fame since every company from the magazine industry to the childcare industry have utilized AR apps in their marketing. But Dekko's mission seems to be bigger than a one hit gimmicky game. Dekko's CEO Matt Miesnieks says,
What we're trying to do is build some of those enablers to get to the next stage of more natural visual interaction. Instead of an ugly map hanging in front of your face, they'll naturally render that navigation on the sidewalk for example.
Dekko's attempt to fully develop the capabilities of 3D mapping is seen in the video for their much anticipated game. The game's trailer shows virtual race tracks appear on any kind of flat surface that the iPad is pointed at while the natural physical environment of the table is maintained. This kind of 3D mapping that uses the real world as an operating system is where the gold of AR resides. Google's Glass is an attempt to apply AR to the 3D world of reality but there are several big companies like Apple and Facebook who want to be the first to build the virtual experience that is rooted in the physical environment of the user's present. The datasets for this kind of 3D mapping is still being researched and tested and it might be a while before we see functional, reality based applications of AR.
Dekko seems set to offer the first glimpse into the possibilities of 3D mapping but it is yet to be seen if the game lives up to the hype of AR.

Determinants of burnout among public hospital nurses
Spooner-Lane, Rebecca S. & Patton, Wendy A. (2007) Determinants of burnout among public hospital nurses. Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing, 25(1), pp. 8-16.
Objective: The present study extends our knowledge of the main determinants of burnout among nurses working in public hospitals and investigates the impact of work support on the stress-burnout relationship. Design: A cross-sectional, survey design. Setting: Data were collected from three public hospitals in south east Queensland, Australia. Subjects: A convenience sample of 273 nursing staff (235 females, 38 males) participated in the study. Main outcome measures: The influence of work stressors (i.e., job-specific stressors and role stressors) and work support (i.e., supervisor and coworker support) on burnout amongst public hospital nurses. Results: Overall, nurses reported moderate levels of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and reduced personal accomplishment). Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that sociodemographic factors play a small, but significant role in predicting burnout. Role Overload, Job Conflicts and Role Boundary contributed to higher levels of Emotional Exhaustion. Role Boundary and Professional Uncertainty contributed to higher levels of Depersonalisation and Role Boundary and Role Ambiguity contributed to lower levels of Personal Accomplishment. Only Supervisor Support had a significant main effect on Depersonalisation and Personal Accomplishment. No evidence was found to indicate that work support had a buffering effect on the stress-burnout relationship. Conclusions: The results highlight the need for organisational interventions to reduce the workload placed upon nurses. Supervisors are in a better position than coworkers to reduce burnout among nurses by clearly outlining the boundaries and expectations of the nursing role.

Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
Hi Mike,
Yep, it's Fred's old boat. And yes, that generator was really noisy. When the wind got up a bit it sounded like a jet engine. If my health doesn't go to Hell, it's the boat I'll be taking south in October. I've made quite a few changes to the boat, and currently I'm repainting everything above the rub rail. Fred painted below the rub rail and that paint seems to be in great shape. The non-skid is completely worn off the deck and cockpit, and there are lots of places where the paint has worn down to the barrier coat.
I had all the standing rigging replaced--it was all original when I purchased the boat. I also replaced the roller furling to an Alado system, put a new jib on her, but the main seems to be OK, at least for now.
I also added an electric windlass, new chain and rode, redid all the plumbing during the past winter, replaced one of the breaker panels, repaired some of the wiring, repaired the alternator(s), installed a 15-watt solar panel, installed a pedestal mounted, swivel, cockpit seat, an oscillating fan in the vee berth, a flat-screen LED TV, Lowrance HDS7 GPS plotter/depth finder and I'll probably install Lowrance's 3G Radar on the pole where the wind generator was mounted.
Fred told me the boat was slow, but I haven't found that to be the case. Changing the jib made a big difference in the performance, though--the original jib was completely shot. With a 15 knot wind she'll cruise right along at 6.5 to 7.2, and the old gal can really handle bad weather better than any boat I've been aboard. Just prior to the arrival of the flood-waters in the above photo my wife and I got caught in some sustained 45 to 50-MPH winds and torrential rains that lasted nearly 12 hours. Running on just the jib we skipped along at more than 8.5 knots for more than 30 miles. My biggest worry was that I might have been placing too much strain on the rigging, but it held well. We tied up the boat at the marina during a lull in the storm, unloaded the essentials, and the following day the flood-waters arrived. The storm, which continued for another couple days, was the remnants of last summer's hurricane.
The marina I was referring to in Florida IS Indiantown Marina, which is just about 17 miles west of Stuart, FL. I went there looking for a Morgan just like the one I purchased. It looked great on the outside, but the interior was shot. It's a neat marina, lots of amenities, but pretty expensive. If I had to get away from a hurricane, and I was within 100 miles of Indiantown Marina, it would be my hurricane hole of choice.

Good Luck,
I know that boat, in 2006 my slip was next to the PO's. Sorry to hear about the wind generator but as I recall, it always was a noisy thing and I was glad Fred kept it harnessed.
Is it Saturday's Child that you'll be taking to Florida this Fall? If so I'll be watching for you.

Other areas the Storm Surge lifted boats up and deposited them on land or restaurant parking lots. I prefer to be near a vacant land area where waves can't build. Also, don't stay on boat(sorry but some people think they should)...
Match up with another boater or many boaters and help each other tie up to shore, move anchors away from your boat at a distance and angle from your boat. Also, helping each others motor out to your boat before and after the Hurricane . Thieves may visit boats and houses after the hurricane hurricane., so you my want to live on your boat afterward.
Of course try to put alot of room between you and other boats, and have a way to travel back and forth. Have proof you own the boat with you to show the National Guard & police when you want to get back to your boat !
Let's me say what I have seen. Many boats will sink an most will drag. How do you avoid a getting caught up by someone elses boat? ancohring away from everyone else and a lot of luck.
I think finding a hole or a river is the best if you can especially get deep in the mangroves. This rules out many boats becuse of their draft. Protection from wind on all sides is great, but it is probably the Storm Surge that will get you. Account for that when considering scope. WHen we rode out Gabrielle on the boat, I saw every bit of 4-6'... and that is nothing. But the waves from the gulf side and wind makes that much more treacherous.
It was mentioned to haul if you can. Boat US pays for half of this and will even help pay for a Captain to move your boat to get her hauled as I recall. Also, leave the boat. It is said there is nothing you can do in a hurricane if you ride it out on board. I dissagree. You can watch for chaffing and raisinglines. But there will quickly come a point when you cannot get off and you are stuck there and on your own. Most anyone that has ever done it swears they would never do it again. That includes me.
Another comment above is making sure you have ownership papers and ID. That is critical. After the storm goes through, assuming you evac'd, they locals law enforcement/Natl Guard will be checking to make sure you are a local or they will not let you back.
Ii wrote a long thread about Hurricane Preparation. Guess its getting close to that time of year again. And for all the hype, the real odds of getting hit head on by a major hurricane (or really one at all) is quite small.
Hope that helps.
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
I'll start by agreeing with Catamount -- minimize fetch from ALL directions. If you get a direct hit (we did) the wind will do a 180 switch as the eye passes, and waves will come from pretty much all directions as it switches.
But as important as that is, remember that it takes everyone in the anchorage to survive a hurricane. By that, again agreeing with Catamount, it doesn't matter how perfectly your boat is prepared if your neighbor's boat isn't . . . and a boat even a mile away can present a hazard if it breaks loose and has a jib come unfurled.
Two points from this: you want a location where other owners properly prepare their boats, and offer help if you see someone else needs a hand with getting sails down below, checking a mooring or whatever -- you're not just helping to save their boat, but maybe yours as well!
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
One of the things a guy in my marina learned the hard way was to position his boat in such a manner that his mast and his neighbor's mast cannot make contact. During the height of the storm last fall both boats masts slammed together, resulting in serious damage to both masts and their associated rigging.
Re: Hurricane Hole - How to Choose
My boat is moored at the top of Buzzards Bay. One of the worst places in a real hurricane because of the funnel like affect of the bay. I agree with the good advise given above by Catamount.
Too many times I've seen boats that were hauled get more damage than those left in the water. There is no real safe place here in the bay.
My hurricane plan these days is to head for Maine. I know a good hole that's much better than anything here in Massachusetts. Why do I know it's good? Because of all the lobster boats that come in and dry out in the weeds.
Those guys know what's good!

Since Chip Kelly's Oregon football years every mention of 'tempo' during a football game echoes of the Ducks.
While the Virginia game played on one channel, the Real USC and Georgia slugged it out on another.
After a turnover one announcer said, "Now the Gamecocks will feed the Bulldogs a taste of tempo."
Here comes a sample from Iron Chef Chip Kelly?
It probably wasn't tempo that cost South Carolina their win, but tempo did help Oregon.
First the Green Mamba gave the Cavaliers some between the tackles tempo.
To the question of why run Thomas inside? Because he's one block, one missed tackle, away from taking it to the house.
Of course the huge guys up front for Virginia weren't about to let that happen. They used all their lineman tricks to slow him down.
One of the big Cavs tackled him and rolled him before kneeling on DAT to stand up. He finished the play with a push into De'Anthony's facemask.
Good sportsmanship showed up right on time.
Instead of a LeGarrette Blount moment at Boise State in 2009 that ended with punches and LaMichael James coming in for the suspended Blount, DAT let the refs handle the problem.
The ref threw the flag on Virginia's dirty play and Thomas clapped his hands. He clapped a little too close to the offending player's face and received a taunting penalty, but over all, he showed how to respond to the extras some guys bring onto the football field. No punch in the face, just better football. No suspension, just a better burst.
The Cav's deserved more than a penalty for their player's infraction, but sportsmanship rules say getting swarmed by the Ducks will have to do.
The Oregon tempo pushed the pace in a game that seemed closer than the score. Then Thomas Tyner lined up.
What do you expect when the new guy comes to the plate in a baseball game? Homerun.
When a new guy enters their first basketball game don't you want them to drain a three?
That's the stuff of legends.
Thomas Tyner came into the game and ran for a touchdown on his first carry. Is that legendary enough?
During two minutes of playing time he scored twice. That's a good taste of tempo.
Following the math, he'd score fifteen touchdowns in thirty minutes of play. Except that's not how the game works.
Tyner looked the same as he did last time I saw him play in Aloha vs Tigard last year. Awesome.
Now he's got a storybook beginning to add to the growing legend.
How will the Thomas Tyner story develop? He could take a page from baby boomer Tony Dorsett's career book: Heisman Trophy, national championship at Pitt, second player taken in the NFL draft where he was rookie of the year and Super Bowl champion his first year with the Dallas Cowboys.
All aboard the Thomas Tyner Express?
Or he could follow Herschel Walker with a Heisman Trophy and national championship with Georgia, then playing in the same Dallas Cowboy backfield with Tony Dorsett.
Size and speed lean more toward Walker than Dorsett, but unlike them Tyner comes into a program in full stride. They don't need to saddle him with dreams of destiny to succeed.
De'Anthony Thomas and Thomas Tyner in the same backfield a few times this year, like Tony and Herschel in the NFL, will show college football fans all they need to see.
Too much of that might be hard for fans to digest. A taste of tempo does that. Here's hoping Dallas finds TT on their draft menu down the line.

About Gallery
Dear art lovers,
presenting this page, I would like to open the door not only to the Allrus Gallery, but to some extend to my soul.
I am still supposed to be a truly happy person. Sailing through the sea of life I have reached the so-called mature age, gained a certain life experience and created my own business. Having fulfilled (perhaps, not completely) a typical man's triple programme (children, trees, houses), I found myself in the magic land of painting...
At the turn of the century, starting to acquire works of Russian artists for home interiors, I soon realised that nothing could stop me from visiting art exhibitions and museums around the world, artists' studios with their special atmosphere and smell of oils. Moreover, I realized how interesting and important it is for me to support modern Russian masters of the brush. I kept on developing the collection and at the same time I started to exhibit it within the framework of various art projects and exhibitions of the Allrus Gallery in Russia and Europe, producing simultaneously catalogues and other accompanying materials.
I am proud of the artists' warm and interested attitude to our gallery and to me personally. It would be wrong to say that the Allrus Gallery "works" with artists – no, we're friends, really good friends. We meet not only in Russia, but now also in Austria and Italy carrying out plein air sessions for our future exhibitions "Austria through the eyes of modern Russian Artists" and "Dolce Napoli-XXI" respectively.
The Allrus Gallery is planning new art projects and further growing of its collection. And not only by adding works of the masters, already included in our "pool". The doors of the gallery are open to new names and different art schools.
Welcome to the Allrus Gallery!
Roman Fedchin

Arsène Wenger is NOT intending to buy in January.
With the transfer window opening in a month, stories have already been circulating about potential Arsenal purchases. The most prominent over the weekend involved Bolton defender Gary Cahill.
But, speaking exclusively to Arsenal.com on Monday, the manager revealed he would not be adding to his roster unless injury strikes.
"My policy is to stick to the squad I have, we will not be on the market," said Wenger.
"I want to keep my squad and I want to continue with these players. We will not be on the market unless we lose some."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source
