Noctua NH-U12P SE 1366 Review
So you just got that new Intel Core I7 rig put together and found out the stock heatsink is good for just that, stock speeds and voltages. The Core I7 chips have a tendency to get hot really quick when the voltages are even marginally increased. For this purpose, the stock heatsink just will not do. With a new socket, the choices are usually pretty slim at the beginning of its life span. The Core I7 uses a 1366 pin socket with a built-in stiffening plate for the socket, so most older high performance heatsinks will need an adapter kit that takes the new socket configuration into account.
A couple of these were available right off the bat with the Noctua NH-U12P SE 1366 and the Thernmalright TRUE, arguably two of the best aftermarket heatsinks on the market. The difference between the socket 775 version of the Noctua NH12-P and this version, amount to just a couple of things - the addition of a socket 1366 mounting kit and a second fan. The mounting kits are still included for both socket AM2 and socket 775 processors. Buying this heatsink kit is a great idea if the Core I7 is in your future. With four dual heatpipes, wide spaced fins for excellent airflow, an expansive bundle and two of Noctuas premium NF-P12 fans the NH-U12P should be able to cool a stout processor. We shall see, as my hot running I7 965 is looking for a cooler to tame the heat it generates.
Closer Look:
The packaging the NH-U12P SE 1366 arrives in is just chock full of information. The only panel that does not carry any information about the product is the bottom. The front panel gives a view of the NF-P12 fan through the window as well as listing several of the attributes of the heatsink such as the 4 dual heatpipes, U-type design, improved compatibility and the Secure-firm2 mounting method. The right side contains mounting information as well as the dimensions of the NH-U12P. The left side carries product info in 6 different languages and some of the awards the NH-U12P has won. The rear shows the contents of the package and illustrates the specifics of the NF-P12 fan. Even the top panel is chock full of information, including the specifications and features of the fan and heatsink.
The contents of the box are contained in two separate boxes - one that includes the NH-U12P heatsink and the NF-P12 fan and the second has the box of accessories. The socket 1366 adapter kit came as a separate item with this package. This is a free upgrade if you currently have the Noctua NH-U12P heatsink on your current setup and are looking to make the move to an Intel Core I7 setup. Just one less thing to worry about when you make the move to upgrade; Noctua has you covered.
The accessories that came packaged are representative of the NH-U12P heatsink with the 1366 adapter as an add-on. What comes with the non-socket 1366 heatsink package, is the mounting hardware for both AMD socket AM2 and Intel Socket 775. In addition there is a common parts bag that includes the fan mounting clips, a tube of Noctua's NT-H1 thermal compound, two adaptors to reduce the fan speed and noise for low and the other ultra low fan speeds, rubber insulators to eliminate any noise from the fan/heatsink interface point and a bag of screws for use in mounting the NH-U12P.
The socket 1366 adapter kit contains all the parts that you need to mount the NH-U12P onto that brand new platform. The instructions are detailed and provide clear directions on the proper way to to install the adapter kit. The kit makes use of Noctua's Secure-firm 2 mounting method to have a repeatable mount each time you remove and remount the heatsink. While that may not be an everyday occurrence for the vast majority of people, I have found it to be incredibly useful. No need to wonder if you have tightened the screws too tight or not tight enough. Everything goes to a positive stop, so there is no question as to when the mounting pressure is correct.
Let's see just what the NH-U12P has to offer.

I've recently started doing a lot more cooking and find myself looking at recipes to gain inspiration for what my guinea pig can eat next. Here are the two last things I cooked/made.
Garlic and mushroom chicken
Takes around 35 minutes to cook
Oven: 200 degrees C/gas mark 6
2 x chicken breasts (works better with no skin on)
75g butter/margarine
75g mushrooms (sliced)
1 x clove of garlic (finely chopped)
Fresh parsley (approx 2-3 tablespoons)
Black pepper
1. Make a cut into the chicken breast at the side. Approx. 5mm but do not cut right the way through. This will make a pocket in the chicken breast.
2. Place 25g of butter into a pan and add the mushrooms. Cook for approx 2-3 minutes and then leave to one side.
3. Place the rest of the butter in a bowl and add the garlic and half of the parsley and mix together. Place in the fridge until needed.
4. Tear off enough foil to wrap up the chicken and place the chicken in the middle of the foil. Stuff the chicken breast with mushrooms. Remove butter from fridge and add some to the the mushrooms (leave some butter for when you serve!).
5. Sprinkle the parsley on top of the chicken breast and season with black pepper. Wrap up the foil in a parcel and put in the oven.
6. Cook for 25 minutes. After 25 mintues undo the foil and cook the chicken breasts in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
Lemon Syllabub
Takes around 10 - 15 minutes to make!
250ml of cream
1 x lemon (juice and rind needed)
6 x tablespoons of lemon curd
4 x tablespoons icing sugar
1. Whip the double cream until it starts to stand up. Once this starts happening leave to one side.
2. In a separate bowl squeeze the lemon juice into this and then add the icing sugar and lemon curd.
3. Fold the lemon juice, lemon curd and icing sugar into the whipped cream and then place in the fridge.
4. When serving place a little of the rind on top.
When I did this recipe I bought raspberries and layered raspberries and the syllabub in a glass. Simple pudding but very yummy!

(AP) -- As Sebastian Vettel has established himself as the most dominant Formula One driver of his generation, racing fans have come to see him as the boyish, fun-loving face of the glamorous series.
But after his victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, a more complex image of the German has emerged -- that of a ruthless, cunning driver who will do whatever it takes to win a race and possibly his fourth consecutive drivers' championship.
The 25-year-old German ignored team orders and overtook Red Bull teammate Mark Webber for the victory with 10 laps remaining. The move left Webber fuming and raised questions about who is truly in charge at Red Bull.
"I think it blemished his reputation," three-time F1 champion Jackie Stewart said.
"It was an unfortunate error of judgment by Sebastian and it will linger for some time," Stewart told The Associated Press. "There will be an awareness from now on that he may not be as stable as we originally thought."
Since winning his first grand prix in 2008 with Toro Rosso, Vettel proved he was one of F1's most exciting drivers and considered the heir to countryman and seven-time champion Michael Schumacher.
After coming back to win the championship last year, Vettel became the first driver with three titles in a row since Schumacher's five straight from 2000-04. The only other driver to win at least three consecutive championships was Juan Manuel Fangio from 1954-57.
Along the way, Vettel displayed a persona that was almost boring in racing circles. Rather than model girlfriends, tattoos and nights spent at glitzy discos, Vettel came off as modest in person. He talked on the Red Bull website about his mother's home cooking and how there are things more important than a person's "bank account."
On the track, he was aggressive but rarely reckless during his championship runs. While Lewis Hamilton had several run-ins with Felipe Massa in 2011 and Romain Grosjean caused more than one first-lap crash last year, Vettel appeared content with simply winning races or doing enough to keep his championship run intact.
He overcame adversity last year, finishing one place behind Fernando Alonso in Abu Dhabi despite starting in the pits because of a penalty in qualifying for fuel irregularities. It preserved his championship lead.
But Vettel also has shown signs of impatience, most troubling in 2010 when Webber was ahead of him in a race. That time, they crashed when Vettel tried to overtake, spoiling what was a near-certain 1-2 finish.
He was largely forgiven for the Turkey crash, partly because of his youth.
But the latest incident has set off a firestorm of criticism on F1 websites and Twitter in which the German is portrayed for the first time as a villain. The British press has been especially tough, calling him egotistical, selfish and even immoral. Fans have called for him to be punished in some way - possibly suspended for a race.
Vettel hasn't responded beyond the apology he made minutes after the victory, and it seems the team is standing by its top driver.
Red Bull team leader Christian Horner didn't defend Vettel but tried to downplay the controversy.
"Obviously it wasn't right what he did. He accepts that," Horner said. "He clearly said if he could wind the clocks back he wouldn't do it again. That is the way it is. We need to put it behind us. It's not like it hasn't happened before."
On Wednesday, Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko said the issue had been "settled" amid reports that Vettel had visited the team's factory in Milton Keynes and apologized to every staff member for his behavior.
"They don't have to be completely on the same page, but it must be a solid working partnership," Marko said. "There was a debrief afterward with the relevant discussions about the race and then there was a handshake between the two drivers. For us now the issue is settled."
Critics wonder if it will be that easy after Sunday.
Webber's father said he will continue at Red Bull, and Stewart said the Australian wouldn't be able to find a more competitive car elsewhere.
"If Mark would go anywhere else, it would be to Ferrari," Stewart said. "But Mark would face the same problems with Alonso at Ferrari as he would face with Vettel at Red Bull."
If he doesn't leave, it could benefit the other teams.
McLaren's Jenson Button, who had his own troubles with former teammate Hamilton, told the Daily Mail he doubts the issue will go away anytime soon and that it could lead to the two drivers fighting among themselves rather than concentrating on other title contenders.
"Hopefully, it does help us," he said.

30 January 2013
Mayoral Fund for the Pacific
Mayor Len Brown has established a fund for Auckland to assist with emergency preparedness and rebuilding in the Pacific, in the wake of Cyclone Evan.
The Mayor convened an emergency forum immediately after Cyclone Evan late last year, drawing together council, government, NGO, church and community groups to discuss a coordinated response to cyclone damage in Samoa and Fiji.
Len Brown made a commitment at the forum to establish a fund to support preparedness in Auckland's Pacific partner countries in the face of frequent devastating storms and cyclones.
"Auckland is a major Pacific city, and it is appropriate that we help our Pacific communities to assist their communities in the islands," says Len Brown.
"The forum guided a coordinated and integrated multi-agency response, led by MFAT, so we could clearly identify the needs of the affected islands and each agency and group could respond in a way reflecting their expertise and resources."
"This new fund will enable Auckland corporate and community sponsors to support preparedness across the Pacific. I hope we will raise sufficient funds over time to also assist in rebuild projects where appropriate."
The fund will be administered independently by the Auckland Communities Foundation.
For the next three months, all funds raised via the Mayoral Fund will be split 50/50 between long-term funding of preparedness for the Pacific and for Cyclone Evan responses.
The Mayor has committed $10,000 to the cyclone response, part of which was used to cover the land transport costs of three containers full of relief parcels to and from the port before they were shipped overseas courtesy of Reef Shipping. The remainder will go into the Mayoral Fund.
Len Brown envisages that this fund will complement government and NGO relief funds, and support long-term preparedness and rebuilding where appropriate. Sources of funds may include corporate, community and individual donations and fundraising activities.
Contribution details:
• Online payments can be made to ASB Bank account number 12-3028-0714703-000, including the references ACF – Pacific – Donor surname or organisation name.
• Cheques can be sent directly to: Mayoral Fund for the Pacific, c/- Auckland
Communities Foundation, PO Box 200-114 Papatoetoe Central, Auckland 2156, including the references ACF – Pacific – Donor surname or organisation name.
• A tax receipt can be provided by emailing email@example.com and providing the
above references and full name and address of donor or donor organisation.
From February 4, online donations with automatic tax receipting can be made via the Auckland Communities Foundation website www.aucklandcf.org.nz using PayPal (incurring PayPal administration charges).
• The fund will be independently administered by the Auckland Communities Foundation, which has extensive experience in philanthropic fund administration.
• The fund will be overseen by an appointed board of advisors, in the process of being appointed. Names will be available upon requested after appointment is confirmed.
• The Mayoral Fund for the Pacific will specifically fund preparedness and appropriate rebuild projects in Pacific countries which have a formal relationship with New Zealand or formal partnership with Auckland.
• The fund will distribute money in response to strong application and expert advice on identified needs.
• After a major Pacific weather event, any funds raised within three months of the event will be split 50/50 between the general fund (for distribution across the Pacific Islands) and specific responses in the affected island/s.

Best Kids Parties: Woodland Fairy
Name: Aanya (3)
Location: Atlanta, GA
My inspiration for Aanya's party came a few months after her Very Hungry Caterpillar Party. She was all into pink, so I wanted to have a pink party and I had recently finished her woodlands theme room, so I decide to have a Woodland Fairy party in pink.
I got several ideas just browsing the web and incorporated my own ideas. The party was at the end of December and I started planning around August and started gathering materials in October. Needless to say, I made several trips to JoAnn, Hobby Lobby and Michaels.
So, for the invitations, I made scroll invitations - printed the details with a fairy clip art in Word, then I antiqued the paper with tea. I glued the ends to dowel rods that were cut in half and tied them with a pink toadstool (made them with miniature bowl and semi circle wood pieces, painted the top in hot pink and white polka dots).
On the party day, I had two fairies, my older daughter and her friend. I got their outfits after Halloween in the same color scheme as the girls' tutus. I made tutus for all the girls and made wands from star shaped ornaments and hair pieces from ribbon and flowers. The wings for the fairies and the capes for the boys (wizards) were ordered from HaloHeaven.
I made the boys wands Harry Potter style and absolutely loved how they turned out. Once the boys and girls were transformed my older daughter did their makeup and we had a photo shoot. It was a sunny day, so we moved it outside. I made a toadstool stool which the girls could sit on.
I also had a scavenger hunt in my backyard for the girls (items for their fairy house) and the boys had to find items for their magic potion. I had a basic science experiment with vineger and baking soda with food coloring in a few glasses and the boys had to use their wands to perform the experiment (magic).
Once they were done, the boys got a personalised "Book of Magic Potions and Spells". I found some silly potions and spells online that I printed on paper and antiqued them with tea bags. I made several pages for each boy and attached them with twine.
I also had a face painter come in, so all the kids got beautiful face painting done, by the time they were all done it was time to cut the cake.
I loved a picture of a pink mushroom cake, so I asked my friend to make it. She did an awesome job as you can see. I made the tree stands and bought the tree stump for displaying the cake. I also made the lollipop topiaries and river rock lables (from tradewindtiaras) and little flower fairies (I made a flower fairy kit for the girls to take home). The dessert table also had personalized fairy dust for all the girls, handmade chocloate nest bowls filled with berries and magic wands (pretzel rods) to name a few.
I also served snail sandwiches (pinwheel sandwiches), gnome-made granola, toadstool mushrooms(cherry tomatoes and mozerella sticks), fairy bread (bread, butter and tons of sprinkles), fruit wands (fruits and marshmellow kebabs), chipmunk chips (Vegetable chips), Flower snadwiches (miniature sandwiches shaped like flowers), Dew drops (water) and Woodland Punch (Berry Punch).
The children's goody bags included their outfits, wands, spell books, flower fairy kit, fairy house (dollar bird houses) fairy dust, pretzel wands, star shaped cookies and lollipop topiary. Although it was tiring to make 20 tutus and 28 wands it was worth the effort once I saw the happy faces. My daughter already wants me to start planning her next "Princess Birthday Party" :)
Thanks Sunitha!

Houston's Museum of Natural Science pays tribute to the famous 1912 shipwreck
A century ago in April, the British passenger ship RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on its maiden voyage en route to New York, killing more than 1,500 passengers. While the wreck of the Titanic remains on the seabed even today, in 1987 crews began to recover artifacts from the debris field, fueling a number of exhibitions at museums worldwide.
In honor of the shipwreck's 100th anniversary, the Museum of Natural Science in Houston welcomes Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition through mid-September. The more than 200 pieces on display include jewelry, china bearing the ship's White Star Line logo, perfume bottles, currency, and interestingly, many personal effects made of leather.
Theresa Nelson, a member of the education team entrusted with interpreting the exhibition, explains: "Our conservation team preserves these items, but we don't restore the items. As the ship broke in half and sank, it traveled 2.5 miles to its final resting place, and many items were ripped from the ship. As you can imagine, in many cases, the items are very worn. But some of the best-preserved pieces, such as currency and jewelry, were found in leather suitcases, trunks, or wallets. Why is this? Well, in the early 1900s, the process used to tan leather included chemicals that repelled microorganisms at the bottom of the sea. And with the pressure of the water at the bottom of the sea, these suitcases and such were sealed shut. When we bring up a leather suitcase or trunk, it's like a time capsule."

I'm obsessively in love with this venue (shout out to the Fairmont Banff Springs) and I get downright giddy whenever a wedding there comes across my desk... but when it's Justine Milton's work, well, my day is made. Curious what all my raving is about? Look no further than this navy and blush beauty before us. Justine's pics shine and Memory Lane Videography's film brings it all to life. So good, right!?
From the Bride... Being a girl from San Diego and a guy from Portland living in Las Vegas, we wanted a unique destination wedding that our family and friends would be excited about! We love skiing in Banff and the beauty of the mountains, so we thought it'd be the perfect place! We chose navy for the guys and blush for the girls because we knew it'd look beautiful for the outdoor ceremony with the greenery and mountains! Our main focus on decor was the flowers! With a room as beautiful as mount Stephan Hall, that's really all you needed. Our wedding day turned out to be more amazing then we could have ever imagined, thanks to help from all our incredible vendors! The best part was saying I do to the love of my life in front of all our family and friends!

G2837, Revised August 2002
When evaluating the conformation of a horse, you should consider the following areas: balance, muscle, structural correctness, and breed and sex characteristics (Figure 1). Fads at times have skewed the importance of one trait or another, but all are important whether you are looking at a prospective halter horse or performance horse.
Figure 1Good conformation includes proper balance and mass, structural correctness, and desirable breed and sex characteristics.
Figure 2Points of horse conformation.
Balance refers to the even, smooth blending of all parts and muscling (Figure 2). Balance is determined by the length of the neck, the back and the croup. Of utmost importance is that the angle of theshoulder should be adequate. Many breeders believe that the slope of the shoulder will determine a horse's agility, because the slope defines the length of the neck. If the slope of the shoulder is too steep, the neck will appear short and the back long. The angle of the shoulder will also be the angle of the pastern. If the shoulder is steep, the angle of the pastern will be steep, which results in a rough, short stride. A horse with a long, moderately sloping shoulder, will typically have a long neck, a short back and a smooth stride. The length of the neck determines the length of the stride as well as the horse'sflexibility. In a performance horse especially, the neck must be long to allow for proper flexing at the poll, which is required in any performance event.
The back should be short and strong with a long underline (Figure 3). The horse should have a long, moderately sloping croup. The length of the croup is important because it is essentially the "engine" that powers an equine athlete. A long croup more readily accommodates more muscle mass.
Balance also accounts for the evenness of muscling. All the parts of a horse's body should blend smoothly into each other and present a pleasing picture.
Figure 3Long, sloping shoulders; short, strong back; long underline; and a long croup increase the probability that your horse can become a good "athlete."
A horse's muscling should be long patterned and defined. Muscle mass can most easily be determined when viewed from directly in front of or behind the horse. As viewed from the front, the horse should show significant width from shoulder to shoulder, a large circumference to the forearm, and a prominent "v" in the front muscling. As viewed from the back, the horse should be wide from stifle to stifle, and the quarter should tie in deep to strong gaskins.
When viewed from the side, a horse should have strong forearms, a deep quarter, strong gaskins, and a long croup to accommodate a large amount of muscle mass through a prominent stifle. In addition, the horse should have a large-circumference heart girth.
For halter horses, the more muscle mass the better. For performance horses, muscle mass should be no more than adequate to perform the tasks at hand, because increased muscle bulk detracts from the fluidity of the horse's stride.
The internal body capacity of a horse determines the room available for lung and heart functions. The more lung capacity a horse has, the more air it can take in with each stride, making the horse capable of more powerful and efficient performance and greater stamina. Internal body capacity also determines the ability of a potential broodmare to carry a large foal.
Figure 4Correct leg set.
Forelegs, viewed from the front, should be centered under the points of the shoulders.
From the side, knees should be flat and pastern should slope at about 45 degrees.
Hind legs, viewed from the rear, should be centered under the points of the buttocks;
From the side, hock, cannon and fetlock should align with the back of the buttock.
Structural correctness affects the action and soundness of horses. When the front legs are viewed from the front, a line should bisect the forearm, knee, cannon, fetlock and the bulb of the heel (Figure 4). If the toes point outward, the horse is splay-footed; if the toes point inward, the horse is considered pigeon-toed. Typically pigeon-toed horses wing out and splay-footed horses wing in when walking. When the front legs are viewed from the side, the knees should be flat.
When a horse is viewed from behind, a line should bisect the gaskin, hock, cannon, fetlock, pastern and foot. If the horse's hocks turn inward, the horse is considered cow-hocked. When the legs are viewed from the side, a straight line drawn downward from the back of the buttock should touch the back of the hock, cannon and fetlock. If the horse has too much angle in the hocks, then it is considered to be sickle-hocked. If the leg is forward of this line and too straight, the horse is considered post-legged.
Pasterns should be of medium length, be strong but flexible, and have a medium slope. The hoof should have the same angle as the pastern and should be of moderate size but deep and wide at the heel, and free of rings. The slope of the shoulders and pasterns, combined with the expansion of the heel, provides shock absorption when the horse is in motion. Bones should be of adequate size and should show definition of joints and appear flat when viewed from the side.
Deviation from these points of structural correctness predisposes a horse to unsoundness and wasted motion. Bone spavins, bogs, thoroughpins and weakness are common among sickle-hocked horses. Jarring from short, straight pasterns and shoulders predisposes a horse to side bones, stiffness, bogs and lameness.
Breed and sex characteristics of a horse define its quality. A horse should exhibit the characteristics that progressive breeders look for — in short, the breed's icon. Quality is indicated by refinement of head, bone, joints and hair coat. It is reflected in thin skin, prominent veins, and the absence of coarseness, especially in the legs. A quality horse has more attractiveness and eye appeal, including prominent sex characteristics. A stallion should appear more powerful and stately than a mare. A stallion's head should have a masculine jaw, whereas the mare should be a picture of refined femininity. The gelding falls between the two.
An outstanding horse will exhibit superior conformation whether it is a halter horse, pleasure horse or racehorse. Some horse judges support fads and are more forgiving of certain faults than others. However, a horse's form is related directly to function. In the long run, whenever you sacrifice certain qualities of conformation, a limitation in ability will occur. When evaluating horses, the ideal will always be in demand; there is no substitute for quality.

Meet The Transportation Expert
Decker West was begun in June, 2010 out of a desire to further serve customers by expanding its footprint in the western United States, the company already being strategically positioned in the Midwest and Eastern portion of the country. Its new terminal location provides visibility and easy access to I-90.
In less than 4 years of operation, the newly formed Decker West went from a single truck driver to its current status of employing 200 truck drivers and 20 staff members based out of Missoula, Montana.
"We chose our Missoula location because the area boasts such an abundance of quality personnel who have a heritage of transportation experience," said Lonnie Wallace, Decker Vice President of Reefer/Van Operations. "We're thrilled at what they've been able to accomplish in such a short time, especially considering that the division has continued to grow despite the tough economic environment."
Congratulations to Jerrod Schmauch and his staff for their outstanding efforts in launching the new Western Division.
Questions You Can Ask Decker Truck Line:
Ask about these things before driving for anyone else! Can they commit to this?
- Even as Decker Truck Line grows, they have been able to keep the tight family atmosphere. Drivers are able to bring their concerns to them and they are able to address them.
- Great equipment and staff. Everyone here will make an extra effort for someone else.
- They are not looking to replace current drivers, they are looking to keep the ones they have and continue to grow. They all realize the importance of each of their drivers and how they need them to succeed; I think that helps their drivers go the extra effort when they need them to. They know they appreciate them.
- Communication. All modes and avenues of communication are open from the Terminal Manager to the shop to customer service to driver services to driver managers to safety.

Hope Gallery's "We are 138" Art Show
This Saturday, June 4th, Hope Gallery pays tribute The Misfits with "We are 138," a group show of 138 artists (largely tattooists) presenting 7x7 works inspired by the horror punk band. The opening, which starts at 7pm, promises "famous monsters" along with food, drink, and pretty people. The exhibit runs until July 9th.
On Hope Gallery's Facebook page, there's a fun series of quick & dirty mini-interviews with participating artists, including Dan Smith whose painting and tattoo work is shown below. Here's a bit from that Q&A:
What song did you get for WE ARE 138?
Who Killed Marilyn?
How did you get inspired to paint your piece?
Marilyn Monroe has always been someone who I have been intrigued by so the inspiration to paint her came very quickly. She has such a timeless, unique profile so obviously mixing the fiend skull with one of Marilyn's countless sexy poses made a lot of sense to me.
What is the best Misfits Album?
Static Age was the first record I got, so naturally it will stay with me as being the most memorable. Its probably the most raw and fast Misfits record too.
What is your favorite Misfits lyric?
"I want your skull. I need your skull."
What is it about the Misfits that makes them so iconic?
I think the fact they were completely original in that time. There were other bands that captured that sound somewhat, but none that looked the way the misfits did. Everything image-wise made total sense, and the logo was the icing on the cake. Timeless and recognizable from across the room!

Ron, I have to throw in my 2 cents. I'm not sure why you would be getting any desense. I have virtually the same setup. I have not had any indications of desense with my installation. I'm using an IC-910H, separate feedlines, mast mounted preamps, and yagi antennas. Feedlines are 9913F7 ultraflex and are about 60' long plus connections from the preamps to the antennas. I have a 2 meter CP KLM (oldie), a 1.2 GHz looper, and a 435 KLM. Separation between the 2 meter and the 70 cm antennas is about 8 feet. I do use an elevation rotor and so the antennas can be aimed quite precisely. Normal power output is usually about 5 watts unless the satellites have a very low pass. Using more than 25 watts would be pretty unusual with most satellites. I live in Phoenix, AZ, and am surround by mountains, some within walking distance, so in most directions I have an elevated, rugged horizon. The first question that I would ask is how much power are you running on the uplink? And then, how far apart are the antennas? I use the CI-V interface with SATPC32 to control the doppler. It works great. You just have to make sure the address in the radio matches what you have set in the software configuration files. For SSB I have the frequency updated whenever it gets off by 20 or more Hz. For FM I'm using 300 Hz. Maybe overkill on SSB, but it's better than having the tone jumping up and down all the time. As George said, do the CAT interface first, expecially if you plan to be doing SSB or CW. Once you have that set up, you can tweek your downlink on the CAT display when you first transmit. After that, your uplink and downlink should pretty well track with each other. The fun comes when you have to follow someone who has no doppler control. I don't think you are going to find any easy way to interface the Channel Master rotor to a computer interface. Generally the interfaces expect a voltage between 0 and 5 volts representing the azimuth of the antenna. A higher indicator voltage can be scaled down to the 0 to 5 range if you can find something suitable. Most ham rotors have separate wiring for the indicator potentiometer in the rotor and that can be easily scaled and used with computer interfaces. Hope this helps. I can set a picture of my antenna installation if that would help.

I hope to have a tower in the future but with being laid off from my job, cant really have any expenditures right now.

I have a new look for my site and a new look for my robot...more details there. There's also a new video. I've got some crude walking motions but not good enough, in my opinion, to post. Check it out.
All the news that's fit to assimilate[ Home | Blogs | Events | Robots | Humans | Projects | Podcasts | About | Account ]
I have a new look for my site and a new look for my robot...more details there. There's also a new video. I've got some crude walking motions but not good enough, in my opinion, to post. Check it out.
I'm working on a piece of hardware that will interface with my software which will make servo sequencing much faster. Hopefully the time that I have spent making this controller will decrease the amount of time that I spend sequencing servo motions. I'll put some pics up soon.
Today is my presentation that marks a half-way point in my project.
I posted a screenshot of my current Spidar Sequencer. This software will allow you to sequence up to 16 servos with four positions each. I am currently giving this program a bit of a makeover though. The next version will look more like a Yamaha RM1X sequencer. I am modelling the software after this music sequencer for a few reasons. First of all, I am trying to carry over some of the cool things about musical editing to robotic movement sequencing because I have experience with that. Second, the RM1X and other similar sequencers are pretty intuitive pieces of equipment to use. Therefore, it should be pretty easy to open the Spidar Sequencer and start using it. Hopefully, it will be something that can be used for more than just my robot.
I posted a video on my site that shows my robot standing up. I just finished the body, which is made of foamed pvc, and attached the legs. I added some springs to simulate muscles and help balance the load. Next I'm going to put a second level on the body and try over-volting the servos a bit for some extra strength. Oh yeah, the DS in the video does nothing...just got done with some MKDS that's all.
I assembled Spidar's legs today. I have a video posted of one of the legs in motion. It's a bit jerky, but that's due to my unsteady hand on the controls(a set of VB sliders). Next, I will be cutting a body out of plexiglass and attaching the legs. Then the real fun will begin! My website for Spidar has a bit of a new look, too.
I've finished most of the code for my Servo Sequencer, which is based on a music sequencer and sampler. The program allows you to create four-position sequences for up to sixteen channels(servos). These groups of sequences can be assigned to six different buttons, like a sampler. This allows you to make walk, run, sequences. I also received my leg brackets in the mail today, which I will be assembling soon.
Today I ordered aluminum brackets for my leg assembly, which will have 3 degrees of freedom. I have been working on writing 3 different sequencing programs to decide which layout and design makes it easier for me to develope locomotion sequences. I'm waiting on the legs to get here to cut out the body. I have also been testing motion sequences with the two prototype legs held up with wheels in the front and back. I have studied the gait of dogs and horses so far and plan to study the movement of spiders and insects as well. Spidar
Today I made two prototype legs. Each of them has 3 servos. Two servos act as a shoulder and thigh and one acts as a knee. The hip and thigh are currently held together by several cable ties and this assembly connects to the knee/calf with a threaded pushrod and servo attachments. I am controlling the prototypes with a Yost Engineering Servo Center. It only took me about thirty minutes to learn the protocol, characters sent through the serial port, and write a controller program in VB. My next steps will be making a sequencing program and cutting a plexiglass body.
I have a simple site up for my project. I have some screenshots and an avi (done in milkshape) of how my leg assemblies will work. Spidar

NZGamer: "Conrad got the chance to sit down with a copy of Battlefield 4 and take it through its paces."
I doubted this game when it was revealed back in(I forgot the date).But after E3 multi.I can't wait to get it.But it's gonna have to take a back seat behind KZ:SF. Since that's main FPS series.
No new info, hands on a demo of a month ago that have tons of reviews already... whats the point?
man i can't wait for my day one ps4 bf4 ps+ bundle!!
side note: all these games already announced are great, but I'm also excited about potentially ratchet and clank, or another jak and daxter, or another LittleBigPlanet, or even the next UC or GT. all so solid in theory

Algores needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
We are a small local editor who publish a nice magazine about the world of food and wine in Rome. The name of the magazine is a double meaning word: the word "Aroma" in italian means "flavour" but the pronunciation is the same of "A Roma" (meaning "in Rome").
The site supports a bimonthly Rome-based paper magazine dealing with food, restaurants, food and wine tourism, interviews with personalities of Italian cuisine. Each issue contains reviews for at least seventy restaurants.
The magazine has a series of fixed columns that should also be present on the website (restaurants, post dinner venues, recipes, cuisine schools, travel, wineries).
The website is intended for all high target wine and food lovers who love to go out and try new restaurants, who wish to be journalists for a day, who want up-to-date reliable information.
The website should also be usable from iPhone or Blackberry, by that meaning only that the graphic style must be light and ready to browse (in this contest are not required specific layout for these devices, which we are going to develope by ourselves ).
From a graphic point of view it should be very clean, easy to read, elegant, preferably with a white background. It should have a revolving ad banner on top, an internal restaurant search engine by area and restaurant type, a space for the cover of the current issue of the magazine, a space for the promotion of the subscriptions, a space for readers who want to share their recipes or write something.
The deliverables we expect are the following:
- three layouts: homepage, internal content page and internal listing page
- all the layout must be available in photoshop or illustrator open files, with all and any component required to use and modify it (such as fonts, pictures, open level). No needed html code.
- if you mean to insert graphic icons in your project, for example to list the different kind of restaurant, these icons must be declined in all the occurrences of the specific list (that we will provide you if needed)
- please keep in mind that we mean to develope the site in html technologies in order to optimize the indexing on the serch engine,
design example liked
In attach:
1) a pdf with the wireframe, please feel free to make some little changes to this.
2) the brand of the paper magazine, no change to this.
3) two cover pages of the magazine

Dodge Adds Four-Cylinder to Journey SXT
- The mid-level Journey SXT will add the crossover's 2.4-liter I-4
- The engine will likely increase sales by lowering the SXT's base price
- Dodge will still offer the muscular Pentastar V6 as optional equipment
Dodge is expanding the availability of the entry-level 2.4-liter four-cylinder powerplant in its midsize Journey crossover. The automaker recently announced that the engine will soon become standard equipment on the mid-level Journey SXT, which formerly featured Chrysler's robust Pentastar V6 as standard equipment.
Previously available only on base-level Journey SE and "American Value Package" trim levels, the SXT's new four-cylinder engine produces 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. While the motor isn't as potent as the Pentastar V6, its main benefit is fuel economy, recording 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. According to Chrysler, the new four-cylinder is only available on front-wheel drive Journey models and uses an antiquated four-speed automatic as its sole transmission.
But car shoppers interested in the Journey might want to consider the new four-cylinder SXT model for more than just its improved fuel economy. According to Chrysler, the addition of the four-cylinder powerplant lowers the 2012 Journey SXT's starting price from today's figure of $25,295 to just $23,795 with shipping. That means the SXT's upscale features - which include satellite radio, rear tinted windows, 17-inch alloy wheels and roof rails - are now cheaper than ever before.
Of course, buyers interested in the Journey can still get the SUV with its 283-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, which is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and available with front- or all-wheel drive. In addition to SE, American Value package and SXT trim levels, the Journey is also offered as an upscale "Crew" model, which adds luxury touches like 19-inch alloy wheels, a remote engine starter, automatic headlights and dual-zone automatic climate controls.
The Journey made its debut in late 2008 as a 2009 model. Assembled in Toluca, Mexico, the crossover rides on the same car-based platform as Chrysler's midsize 200 sedan and Jeep's Patriot and Compass crossovers. Competitors include midsize crossovers like the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander and Chevrolet Traverse, each of which offer six-cylinder engines and feature available third-row seating.
What it means to you: Chrysler is looking to expand the Journey's popularity by adding a four-cylinder engine to its high-volume SXT model.

CAROLINA BEACH � Beachgoers in North Carolina this holiday weekend may get a rare opportunity to spot a gray seal.
The seal was first spotted May 16 on the north end of Wrightsville Beach. Since then, it has moved on to Carolina Beach and Kure Beach.
University of North Carolina at Wilmington marine biologist Ann Pabst says this is the furthest south the species has been spotted in North Carolina. Pabst says the seals spend time on land while they molt, or replace their fur coats.
Seals may seem friendly but have sharp teeth, and authorities warn people to keep their distance. If areas get too crowded near the animal, beachgoers are encouraged to call authorities.

2013 Timberwolves Season Recap by a Fan
I was looking around for some Timberwolves gossip to share with all my favorite readers, but couldn't find anything too good, considering it's the Timberwolves. So, overall, the Timberwolves went 30-51 in the 2013 season and the Timberwolves went 4-12 in the Northwest. Niiiiice.
So, yikes, huh? It's not like I can dole out any excuses, but this season for the Timberwolves was kind of a worse-case-scenario deal. I mean, we saw Andrei Kirilenko return to his normal form, but then fatigue and injury took over. We loved watching Ricky Rubio (hottie) make incredible strides in his recovery (and see him at various bars around the Twin Cities every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights). But Kevin Love's (hottie number 2) injury, and the other injuries to hit players that has infected the team all year long really put a damper on the season.
But, we loved seeing 30 wins out of the Timberwolves this season with all of these negative happenings! Also, I just turned 21 so I am excited to stalk around the bars and see my favorites Rubio and K. Love hanging around.

Warning: here be spoilers (and Avengers)
Given that our Captain America review mentioned (SPOILER!) that Cap gets frozen at the end, may we casually inform you that the following news story contains spoilers.
The reason why we sound the spoiler horn is because a snippet of the very brief post-feature Avengers teaser at the end of Captain America, showing all of the team at Avengers HQ looking badass, has been released online... but it also includes the very, very end of Captain America: The First Avenger, where Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury meets the defrosted Cap in the middle of Times Square.
So to see both bits – the very end of Cap and The Avengers teaser – click play below, but remember: you have been warned, ye who have not seen Captain America: The First Avenger yet.
Also, as it has moments showing all The Avengers, we've grabbed the pictures from the trailer and turned them into a miniature galllery for you below, featuring Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans (in a new Cap outfit), Mark Ruffalo (in non-Hulk form), Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth. You know, because we're nice like that.
The Avengers will be avenging something or other come May 14, 2012.

While the North Coast rejoices South Korea defeating Taiwan in the Asian Games...you know, because it means that The BLC is now officially exempt from his military obligation, and in lieu of anything substantial to talk about in terms of player acquisition for the parent club, let's keep that attention turned to the internal development that is so important to the development of the Indians in the coming years.
With that in mind, since Top Prospect Lists are going to start arriving en masse here (and the Baseball Prospectus one is probably coming next week), let's start off with the Top 10 list for the Tribe that was released by Baseball America earlier in the week:1. Lonnie Chisenhall, 3b 2. Alex White, rhp 3. Jason Kipnis, 2b 4. Drew Pomeranz, lhp 5. Nick Weglarz, of 6. Jason Knapp, rhp 7. Levon Washington, of 8. Tony Wolters, ss 9. Joe Gardner, rhp 10. Nick Hagadone, lhp
Essentially ten names you've probably seen before with a ranking to them as these are always interesting to a point as the names are all generally familiar, although a number of these rankings that don't include some sort of contextualizing criteria (like B-Pro's "Star System") always makes these cursory lists feel like they're in a vacuum. Fun to look at for a moment...but that's about it because it offers no great insight or context.
To that end (and we're not done with the BA piece yet), Call to the Pen provides some context as they reveal what I assume to be the first Top 100 Prospect list of the season. I'll admit this straight off as I have no idea who Nathaniel Stoltz (the author) is and that my eyes were directed there a few weeks ago by Ed Carroll's "Deep Left Field", so take that Top 100 listing however you want, but realize that it's coming from an author that looks to be based in California, with no great agenda to hype up Tribe prospects.
While there may not have been an agenda to hype up Tribe prospects, check out where different Indians' prospects fit in this Top 100 (and he's only posted #11 to #100), with a little quote from the write-up of each (linked in the name) accompanying the individual player:#11 – Jason Knapp - "Few pitchers have more upside" and, yes...that's #11 in all of MLB
#29 – Drew Pomeranz - "He could evolve into one of baseball's top lefties."
#43 – Chun Chen - "Chen looks to be a true two-way stud behind the plate."
#70 – Alex White - "It's pretty tough to turn into a front-of-the-line starter in the majors when your Double-A whiff numbers don't impress...he could be a poor man's Dan Haren and a fine #2/#3 starter for a playoff team."
#73 – Nick Weglarz - "Weglarz doesn't have much defensive value either, but he's essentially Jack Cust with fewer strikeouts, and that's valuable."
#77 – Felix Sterling - "Big and projectable, Sterling features advanced velocity for his age and already touches 94-95 mph at age 17. Both his offspeed pitches are advanced as well, and he could end up a truly dominating force."
#90 – Matt Packer - "Indians fans sick of finesse lefties may be cautious, but Packer could be the sort of durable strikethrower who works as a great complement to a flamethrowing ace."
Honorable Mention – Cord Phelps - "I feel confident in saying he could be a well-above-average second-base starter, but there's not enough about him that stands out to quite get him into the top 100."
You'll notice that Kipnis and Chisenhall don't appear on this list and, as I said, this particular list has not yet posted the Top 10 prospects, so I'll guess we'll have to wait and see if the Indians would really have three in the top 11, five in the top 50 and 9 in the top 100, with an honorable mention to boot if, in fact, Kipnis and The Chiz are among the Top 10.
Again, the source of this is purely a Top 100 list that I stumbled upon, and you can head down to one of those giant piles of salt that you see on the shores of Lake Erie when you're enjoying a Guinness on the patio of The Harp if you want to when digest that, but...well, take it as you will.
Regardless, let's get back to the BA piece as the only real compelling part of the annual BA prospect ranking to me is the indulgence of predicting what a team is going to look like 3 years into the future, with BA's best guess of the 2014 Tribe looking like this:C - Carlos Santana 1B - Matt LaPorta 2B - Jason Kipnis SS - Asdrubal Cabrera 3B - Lonnie Chisenhall LF - LeVon Washington CF - Grady Sizemore RF - Shin-Soo Choo DH - Nick Weglarz SP - Alex White SP - Drew Pomeranz SP - Carlos Carrasco SP - Fausto Carmona SP - Jason Knapp Closer - Chris Perez
At a cursory glance, you notice that Choo, Cabrera, and Sizemore are all listed on their 2014 lineup (and Mike Brantley isn't), despite the fact that the current contracts for all three will run out prior to the 2014 season. Additionally, you see that BA thinks that 2011 Draftee LaVon Washington will be moving AWFULLY fast to arrive in 2014. Of course, BA is notorious for overestimating the most fruits of the most recent draft, as evidenced by the inclusion of Beau Mills as the 2011 3B in the 2008 projection...and that's an interesting one to look at in hindsight. But that overestimation is neither here nor there as the real "fun" comes when we execute this little exercise for ourselves.
For the purposes of projecting the 2014 lineup with the status of current contracts in play, keep in mind here that Hafner's guaranteed years end after the 2012 season while Sizemore's club option also runs through the 2012 season, which is the last season that Rafael Perez is under club control. Players that will be FA after the 2013 season (as of right now) will be The BLC, Cabrera, and a couple of uninteresting relievers (Joe Smith and Jenny Lewis). So for this little exercise, I'm going to assume that all of those players have moved on, something that Baseball America doesn't generally do...as you'll notice CC at the top of the 2011 predicted rotation a few years back.
Cleveland Indians – v.2014C – Chun Chen1B – Carlos Santana2B – Jason KipnisSS – Josh Rodriguez3B – Lonnie ChisenhallLF – Nick WeglarzCF – Mike BrantleyRF – Abner AbreuDH – Matt LaPorta
SP – Jason KnappSP – Drew PomeranzSP – Alex White SP – Carlos CarrascoSP – Fausto Carmona
RP – Zach PutnamRP – Josh JudyRP – Rob BrysonRP – Hector RondonRP – Nick HagadoneRP – Tony SippRP – Justin MastersonCloser – Chris Perez
Starting off with the pitching, I'd agree with the five starters projected by BA, just in a different order and with the caveat that There Is No Such Thing As A Pitching Prospect, that rotation is pretty solid looking, from a projection standpoint. Past those five, Matt Packer would be a name that could factor into the rotation, though perhaps more as a depth starter whose left-handedness could balance out the rotation. Additionally, Joe Gardner, TJ House, and others could certainly factor in here...but a lot can happen in three years in terms of those arms as it's possible that a surprise emerges or one (or two) of those starters sees Dr. James Andrews.
In terms of the bullpen, relievers are a total crapshoot, particularly if you're trying to project a solid three years into the future (Ferd Cabrera anyone?)...so those 8 names could be completely different when 2014 rolls around.
Back to the lineup though, please note what two names stand out like sore thumbs there if we're using only players that are under club control through 2014?
Yeah, that would be Josh Rodriguez, a soon-to-be-26-year-old with 86 total games over AA at SS, and Abner Abreu, a just-turned-21-year-old outfielder who just put the finishing touches on an injury-marred season in which he posted a...wait for it, .651 OPS in Kinston. If anyone has any other obvious suggestions that I missed...I'm all ears. Certainly, 2014 would be an optimistic timetable for arrival guys like for LaVon Washington (although BA doesn't think so) and Tony Wolters (another 2011 draftee), but look at those two positions that I had such trouble filling (albeit three years from now) if I'm taking current contracts into account – SS and RF.
This is tough because, well...Choo and Cabrera are obviously not included on this list. If you add The BLC and Asdrubal to that list – yeah that looks like a team that could basically be the offense going into 2012 or thereabouts, with the ability to be around for a couple of years together as a group to mature and excel as they evolve as a unit.
Given the cost certainty of the rest of that lineup (even three years from now) and the organizational holes beneath them at their respective positions, maybe the Indians SHOULD be considering long-term deals with these two this off-season, as much as the Scott Boras Factor starts to come into play...but that payroll discussion becomes another topic for another (Lazy Sun)day.

AP PHOTOS: Village farmers in Benin dig to find, draw out the salt in the soil
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
DJEGBADJI, Benin – In this village in Benin, the salt of the Earth means business.
The women of Djegbadji, a village near the town of Ouidah, wake up in the morning to dig away the surface of the marshy soil near the Atlantic Ocean. They put the soil into large pots, then draw water from local wells to pour through the dirt.
Small spigots at the bottom of each pot allow the water to escape after coursing through the soil. The women dip a glass containing palm kernel nuts into the water. If the all the nuts float, they've found a rich supply of salt. They'll continue to pour water into the pot until all the nuts rest at the bottom of the glass.
After that, they'll go inside shacks made of dried palm fronds and boil the water, releasing the salt. They sell it to marketers and others. For the equivalent of $1, one can buy enough salt to fill two salt shakers.
The salt naturally contains iodine, said Kakpo Augustine, 32, as she spoke with visitors to the village on Friday. She worked with her 4-month-old daughter Kouton Prunelle on her back and said the salt always returns to the soil.
"The salt is like our finger nails — when you cut it, it grows back," Augustine said.

South Dakota's Joe Glenn on Indiana State Win, Northern Iowa Game
Most teams will tell you, when they turn the ball over four times in a game, they don't like their chances of winning.
But while the South Dakota offense and special teams attempted, at times, to be generous hosts to Indiana State last Saturday in Vermillion, the Coyote defense wasn't in a giving mood, as they shut down the Sycamores time and time again, securing a 17-14 USD win.
Indiana State came into Saturday's game with the #1 passing attack in the Missouri Valley Conference, but South Dakota's defense was tops in the nation in pass defense, and they showed why, limiting the Sycamores to just 82 yards through the air, while sacking ISU quarterbacks five times.
The Coyotes did it without all-conference linebacker Tyler Starr, who sat out the first half as part of as suspension for targeting against Missouri State the week before. In his absence Keyen Lage from Sioux Falls stepped in nicely.
USD head coach Joe Glenn told me he was impressed with his young linebacker from Washington High School:
Offensively for the Coyotes, it was another strong day on the ground for running back Trevor Bouma, as the redshirt freshman from LeMars, Iowa put it in the end zone twice and amassed 145 yards rushing on the day.
Those numbers earned him Missouri Valley Confence Newcomer of the Week honors:
Things don't get any easier for the Coyotes this weekend, as they make the trip to Cedar Falls to play Northern Iowa.
The Panthers had been a Top Five team in the national polls before a pair of tough losses - a last second defeat at #1 North Dakota State and an overtime loss last weekend against Southern Illinois - dropped them to 13th this week.
UNI is led on offense by sophomore quarterback Sawyer Kollmorgen, who's hitting on 63% of his passes this season with 10 touchdowns and just 1 interception. It'll be another tough test for the USD pass defense:
The Panthers' real strength is on defense where they rank in the Top Ten in the nation in fewest points allowed (16 per game) and sacks (20). The leader of the defense is senior lineman Collin Albrecht, who has seven of those sacks himself:
Kickoff is 4:00pm Saturday afternoon at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls.

Miranda whenBroken
From Erights
Revision as of 03:08, 7 August 2011 by Kevin Reid (Talk)
__whenBroken/1 is a Miranda message for determining when a reference has become a broken reference.
- Signature: __whenBroken(reactor :OneArgFunc) :void
Notify the reactor when the reference has transitioned to the broken state.
- The Miranda method ignores the argument and returns null, as a near reference cannot become broken.
- If the recipient is an eventual ref, then the message should not be forwarded, but the reactor should be stored for use as follows. (This forms part of the expected behavior of any proxy handler.)
- If it becomes broken,
reactor <- run(problem)should be performed for every __whenBroken message previously received.
- If it becomes resolved to another ref, then it should forward every __whenBroken message it received to the target.
- If it becomes broken,
Original Javadoc
XXX merge
Used to implement "Ref whenBroken/2"; it should not be called directly.
The Miranda behavior ignores the message, as only breakable ref implementations ever respond to this message.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake got sloppy, and the LA Galaxy were only too happy to take advantage of their mistakes Wednesday night, scoring three unanswered goals to run out 3-2 winners at Rio Tinto Stadium.
A pair of defensive gaffes and a terrific individual performance by Landon Donovan – who had a brace and an assist – negated a terrific start for the Western Conference leaders.
WATCH: Full Match Highlights
RSL began as well as any team could hope. In just the ninth minute, Chris Wingert fed Fabián Espíndola on the right flank, and the Argentine beat Todd Dunivant to the endline and sent it across the middle for Kyle Beckerman, who tapped home for the opener.
Then in the 24th minute, Espíndola played creator again, sending another ball to the middle to Álvaro Saborío. The Costa Rican got just a piece of the cross, sending it bouncing up in the air a couple or times and to the lower-left corner of the net.
Then the tables turned. RSL defender Tony Beltran, deep in his own third, tried to send a pass back to 'keeper Nick Rimando six minutes later. Donovan, however, saw the pass coming and rushed to intercept the ball and deposited it unopposed after beating Rimando. (WATCH)
It was only a sign of things to come. Real's giving mood continued just five minutes into the second half, with Jámison Olave giving the ball away to Donovan about 30 yards from goal. The Galaxy captain hit a perfect through-ball to Mike Magee, who took a touch and hit a brilliant, left-foot strike to the right corner that caromed off the inside of the post. (WATCH)
RSL looked to press and regain their lead, but LA caught them with too much space in the back in the 68th. Magee sent a ball from the left over the top toward Donovan, who beat an onrushing Rimando to ball, took one touch past and calmly booted it into the open net for the 3-2 lead. (WATCH)
Real threw everything it had for the remaining time, but the Galaxy defense and 'keeper Josh Saunders came up huge time and time again, holding on to the final whistle and grabbing the road win.
The Galaxy improve to 5-8-2 after winning their second straight and return home to host Vancouver on Saturday.
RSL, meanwhile, fall to 10-4-2 and saw their lead on second-place San Jose reduced to just two points ahead of Saturday's home clash with the Earthquakes.

August 1914 - November 11, 1918
In late June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo, Bosnia. An escalation of threats and mobilization orders followed the incident, leading by mid-August to the outbreak of World War I, which pitted Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (the so-called Central Powers) against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Japan (the Allied Powers). The Allies were joined after 1917 by the United States. The four years of the Great War--as it was then known--saw unprecedented levels of carnage and destruction, thanks to grueling trench warfare and the introduction of modern weaponry such as machine guns, tanks and chemical weapons.
By the time World War I ended in the defeat of the Central Powers in November 1918, more than 9 million soldiers had been killed and 21 million more wounded. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, determined post-war borders from Europe to the Middle East, established the League of Nations as an international peace organization and punished Germany for its aggression with reparations and the loss of territory. Tragically, the instability caused by World War I would help make possible the rise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and would, only two decades later, lead to a second devastating international conflict.

This is a driving rock loop that is 4 repetitions of a chord progression. The first is electric guitars and drums. The second adds bass and lead synth in octaves. The third adds organ pads. The fourth is the same as the first and acts as an outro.
The feeling of the music can be hopeful, epic, sad, victorious, etc.
Big Goodbye might be used for an emotional point in a film, as part of a game soundtrack, or as background in a technology ad.

Skiing to Sochi with Laurien Van de Graaff
This is the fourth female episode of "Skiing to Sochi" Cross Country. In this Episode we speak to first time Swiss Olympic athlete Laurien Van de Graaff to see what she has to say about all things Sochi. Cross-country skiing originated in Fennoscandian countries in prehistoric times. It was still widely practiced in the 19th century as a way of moving from place to place in winter. As a sport, cross-country skiing is one of the most difficult endurance sports, as its motions use every major muscle group. Modern cross-country ski competition is experiencing a revolution that is resulting in greater compatibility with audiences which began with the addition of the Sprint event to the World Cup and Olympic competitions in 2002.
