Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2018 Ford Fusion
By KBB.com Editors
Now in its fifth year as Ford's point player in the ultra-competitive mid-size sedan segment, the Fusion receives a major makeover for 2010 that raises its profile and competitive status against primary rivals like the Chevrolet Malibu, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry. Although much of the basic platform engineering on this front-drive/all-wheel drive four-door carries over, both its exterior and interior have been redone, imparting a more youthful and contemporary flavor that also brings additional measures of quality and style to the mix. Reinforcing that comprehensive upgrading are suspension refinements and more fuel-efficient powertrains. The final piece in the 2010 mix is a new Fusion Hybrid variant (reviewed separately) that complements the conventional lineup, which now includes S, SE, SEL and a new high-performance Sport model.
If you need the practicality of a well-appointed, well-engineered and crisp-handling family-sized four-door that also offers a choice of fuel-efficient four-or six-cylinder engines and available all-wheel drive, the 2010 Ford Fusion merits serious consideration for a spot in your garage.
Even this new-and-improved Fusion may not be enough to convince hard-core Accord and Camry owners that it's time to head down to their local Ford dealers. Those who prioritize interior space would likely prefer the Chevy Malibu or the latest-generation Accord, which has grown sufficiently to now qualify as an EPA "large car."
A thorough revamp imparts new character to Ford's mid-size Fusion Sedan with cleaner styling, greater refinement, improved vehicle dynamics and upgraded powertrain combinations that boost both performance and fuel economy. An enthusiast-oriented 263-horsepower Sport variant also joins the lineup.
With more power and torque plus new six-speed transmissions, even four-cylinder 2010 Ford Fusion models have plenty in hand to cope with all normal city/highway traffic demands. Those willing to...
... forego a bit of fuel economy will find the Fusion even more appealing when equipped with the 3.0-liter V6, while the 3.5-liter makes the Sport variant downright quick. Buyers can opt for front- or all-wheel drive with either engine. All but the Sport now use Ford's Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) that improves feedback and helps boost fuel economy. This new EPAS hardware also cuts nearly a foot out of the Fusion's turning circle to ease maneuvering in tight confines. Numerous refinements and geometry tweaks to the otherwise carryover suspension impart a more precise feel with better roll control across the lineup. To complement those dynamic improvements, the design team worked diligently – and quite effectively – to decrease ambient noise levels in the Fusion's revamped cabin.
Impressive Powertrain Combinations
Revised engines and new transmissions make all conventional Fusion models more engaging to drive. Both the four-cylinder and V6 engines offer outstanding comparative mpg and drink regular unleaded (and/or E85 in the case of the 3.0-liter). The new six-speed automatic even gains a manual-style SelectShift gate when paired with either V6 engine.
SYNC Voice-Activated Communications
Standard in the Fusion SEL/Sport and available in S/SE models, the SYNC package is arguably the most useful and user-friendly multi-purpose input/output system on the market today. For 2010, it's been upgraded to include a new 911 Assist capability, Vehicle Health Report diagnostics, and can integrate with the optional on-board navigation system.
Ford made the Fusion's passenger compartment a lot more inviting for 2010, courtesy of a major redesign that brings a richer character and more user-friendly elements to all models in the range. Soft-touch surfaces and metallic accents dominate this well-appointed, well-isolated realm, which is highlighted by a restyled dash fitted with highly-legible 3D-look instrumentation and a more logically arrayed center stack. Enhanced bolstering on the front buckets provides greater support and comfort while the rear quarters have sufficient head and leg room to comfortably accommodate two adults or carry three for shorter distances. A 60/40 split-folding seatback adds even more utility to the Fusion's already spacious 16.5 cubic-foot trunk.
The 2010 Ford Fusion's comprehensive visual refresh begins with design tweaks that impart a sportier look and improved aerodynamics. Everything ahead of the A-pillar is new, from the prominent power bulge on its hood and smartly flared fenders to bolder fascia/lamp/grille treatments that impart a lower, wider look. Complementing that revamp, new underbody shields help channel air aft more efficiently, while its rear quarters gain added distinction with reshaped taillamps, a redrawn decklid and a lower-fascia "diffuser" panel with dual exhausts. Fusion S trims get V-rated all-season 205/60 tires on 16-inch aluminum wheels, SE/SEL models step that up to 225/50 rubber on 17-inch steel (SE) or alloy (SEL) wheels while the Sport wears 225/45s on 18-inch alloys.
Regardless of trim/powertrain choices, all Fusions are very well equipped. Even the Fusion S boasts power windows/locks/mirrors, air conditioning, keyless remote entry, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering column, AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system and a 60/40 split/folding rear seat plus AdvanceTrac stability/traction control, anti-lock brakes and front/front-side/side-curtain airbags. The SE steps up with items like SIRIUS Satellite Radio, an enhanced sound system, power driver's seat, redundant steering wheel controls and fog lamps, while the SEL brings dual-zone auto climate control, leather-trimmed full-power seats and SYNC voice-activated communications. Beyond more power and a dedicated suspension/wheel/tire package, the Sport adds special exterior/interior trim and 911 assist to its SYNC system.
Fusion S extras are limited to an automatic transmission Remote Start and floormats, while SE buyers can opt for an automatic transmission, a 3.0-liter V6, electrochromic mirrors, SYNC with 911 Assist (with or without a sunroof), rear spoiler and a Reverse Sensing System. The SEL offers the 3.0 V6, Driver's Vision Package (Rear-View Camera plus Blind-Spot Info System with Cross-Traffic Alert) while SEL/Sport trims allow voice-activated Navigation, a Moon & Tune Package (moonroof plus 12-speaker/390-watt Sony premium audio), and all-wheel drive. Only Sport buyers can choose a convenience-oriented Electronics Package but a Sport Appearance Package that includes a tauter suspension will be added later for the SE/SEL.
Significant powertrain upgrades bring technology that elevates the pony count, fuel economy and driving experience in all 2010 Ford Fusion models. It starts with a new 2.5-liter Duratec in-line four-cylinder that replaces the previous 2.3-liter. The sole engine in the "S" model, the 2.5 makes 175 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque, whether mated to the now-standard six-speed manual transmission or the new optional six-speed automatic. Available in SE/SEL trims and paired with a mandatory 6-speed automatic transmission that adds a manual-style SelectShift feature is a 3.0-liter Flex-Fuel V6 that develops 240 horsepower and 223 pound-feet of torque. The Sport level brings a potent 3.5-liter V6 rated at 263 horsepower, 249 pound-feet of torque and is paired with the 6-speed SelectShift automatic. The SEL/Sport models also offer optional on-demand all-wheel drive.

TWO Scottish airports have enjoyed their busiest-ever years, according to latest figures.
Almost 9.8 million people used Edinburgh Airport in 2013, an increase of 6.3 per cent on the previous year.
The figure makes it the fifth busiest airport in the UK and the third biggest city in the UK in terms of airport passenger numbers, following London and Manchester.
July and August were the busiest, with more than one million people travelling through each month.
Chief executive Gordon Dewar said: "2013 was a landmark year for Edinburgh Airport.
"It was a year in which we fulfilled our promises on new route development, securing three long-haul hub connections and bolstering our domestic and European services. We also commenced work on a £25 million expansion and improvement project.
"The passenger figures speak for themselves. Two consecutive million months in the summer, in addition to six months of continued passenger increases, means last year was the busiest year ever for any Scottish airport - a fantastic achievement."
December 2013 saw strong passenger growth with 645,447 passengers passing through the airport, an increase of 11 per cent compared to December 2012.
Last month saw an increase in domestic passenger numbers, with 350,577 passing through the airport, a rise of 6.9 per cent from 2012.
A total of 294,870 international passengers also travelled through Edinburgh Airport in December, a 16.4 per cent increase compared to the same time in 2012.
Aberdeen Airport also celebrated its busiest ever year, with 3.48 million people passing through, beating the previous record high of 3.43 million in 2007 before the economic downturn.
The airport handled 3,488,407 passengers in 2013, a 3.79 per cent rise on the previous year. Of those, 517,526 were helicopter passengers.
Managing director Carol Benzie said: "Throughout 2013 we were aware that the whole team was putting in a great performance and it is therefore very pleasing to see us record such a high passenger figure.
"What this represents is a recovery from the recession which hit the whole of the UK aviation sector, some more than others.
"We have recovered and then improved upon that performance as a result of great teamwork and the continued buoyancy of our region."
Glasgow Airport enjoyed its busiest year since 2008, with 7.4 million passengers passing through in 2013, an annual increase of 2.9 per cent.
The airport said it was its third consecutive year of growth and attributed much of the success to a marked increase in long haul and European traffic, which grew by 11 per cent and 15 per cent respectively.
It said that the arrival of airlines such as Wizz Air and Lufthansa Regional contributed to the increase in international traffic, as did the strong performance of long-haul carriers Emirates, United and Virgin Atlantic, all of which reported growth in 2013, while there was strong demand for Glasgow's London and UK regional routes.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: "To have recorded our busiest year in five years and our third consecutive year of growth is very pleasing.
"We enjoyed considerable success throughout 2013 in further strengthening our route network and we committed significant investment to enhancing our facilities.
"Whilst the growth in numbers would appear to suggest a renewed confidence amongst airlines and passengers, we are still operating in what remains a difficult economic environment and achieving further growth will be a challenge.
"There is, however, much to look forward to. 2014 is set to be a momentous year for Glasgow and our focus will be on ensuring we play our part in the successful delivery of what will be the biggest sporting event in Scotland's history, the 2014 Commonwealth Games."

You'll see several of my pals and I in Cory's world-famous party for a 100 miles video!! 😀 If you ever have the chance to spot Cory out on the trail or in an ultra, make sure to say hello, give him a hug or join him for some sweet dance moves! You won't regret it! You'll likely have the time of your life hanging out with the happiest guy I know! 🙂
My friend Cory Reece www.fastcory.com decided to video the runners at the Antelope Island Buffalo Run 100 miler as we raced, ran and danced our buns off last weekend. The result is pretty fun to watch! I'm the one in the red tutu. I only wish I'd kept on dancing and stayed in the mental happy place since I ended up dropping from the race at mile 75. I should have continued to boogie to the finish line like Cory did! 🙂

Esquire contributing editor David Katz and editor-at-large A.J. Jacobs have hit it big in Hollywood (well, a little bit) with "Things a Man Should Never Do Past 30," the Hollywood Reporter said.
The writing pair based their project on Katz's humor book citing 500 things that Katz thinks should not be done by over-30-somethings.
The stroke of luck hit Katz/Jacobs when director/producer Barry Sonnenfeld read the book and thought he could do something with it.
What, we're not exactly sure.
Maybe it'll be "Get Shorty" for the 30-plus crowd.
"The show is about a guy working at men's magazine who is reluctant to embrace adulthood and his friend who is an immersion journalist," said Katz, who is penning "Things" with Jacobs, an immersion journalist.
Although set at a men's magazine, Katz assured that "Things" will not be a workplace comedy.

Galaxy Resources delays HK listing
Australian-listed lithium producer Galaxy Resources is postponing its Hong Kong listing, saying Japan's earthquake, soft US and Chinese economic data, and Middle East unrest are combining to weaken investors' appetite.
Galaxy Resources had originally sought a secondary listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange by the first quarter of this year.
It did not say how much it planned to raise in the listing, but Reuters reported Galaxy Resources hoped to raise US$200 million and BNP Paribas and Morgan Stanley had been selected as bookrunners.
Managing director Iggy Tan said yesterday the company 'saw no necessity to launch the IPO in a market environment that would not serve the interests of either existing shareholders or deal participants'.
Galaxy Resources had earlier secured A$91.5 million (HK$719.29 million) from investors, including Jiangsu-based scrap metals processor Fengli Group and Li Shufu, the majority shareholder of Geely Automobile Holdings.
Tan did not give details of when the Hong Kong listing plan would resume but said that Galaxy Resources remained focused on it and would proceed 'when we believe the time is right'.
The lithium producer is building a plant in Jiangsu to make lithium carbonate, a compound that is used for manufacturing batteries and sophisticated electronics including computers.
Australian billionaire Clive Palmer's mining company Resourcehouse has also delayed a planned US$3 billion Hong Kong listing, according to people familiar with the deal.

The suit brought by Joseph Lewis, president of the Free Thinkers Society, to restrain the New York City Board of Education from permitting the reading of the Bible and the singing of hymns in the public schools, on the ground that they violate State and Federal constitutional provisions with regard to religious freedom, was dismissed on Wednesday by Supreme Court Justice Ford without an opinion.
The reading of the Bible has been authorized under a provision of the City charter which has been in existence for seventy-nine years, counsel of the Board of Education argued before the court. They also declared that school principals are allowed to choose the passages to be read, while pupils who object to the reading may be excused. Consequently, they argued, the reading of the Bible in the schools is no interference with religious liberty.

Speculative Grace
Full Product Description
This book offers a novel account of grace, framed in terms of Bruno Latour's "principle of irreduction." It thus models an object-oriented approach to grace, experimentally moving a traditional Christian understanding of grace out of a top-down, theistic ontology and into an agent-based, object-oriented ontology. In the process, it also provides a systematic and original account of Latour's overall project. The account of grace offered here redistributes the tasks assigned to science and religion. Where now the work of science is to bring into focus objects that are too distant, too resistant, and too transcendent to be visible, the business of religion is to bring into focus objects that are too near, too available, and too immanent to be visible. Where science reveals transcendent objects by correcting for our near-sightedness, religion reveals immanent objects by correcting for our farsightedness. Speculative Grace remaps the meaning of grace and examines the kinds of religious instruments and practices that, as a result, take centre stage.
Speculative Grace by Adam S. Miller was published by Fordham University Press in June 2013. The ISBN for Speculative Grace is 9780823251513.

HBRD3 - Tether & Slip Ring Reel
I am aiming at a 150' of workable depth with this Rov so I bought this 200' section of cat6 cable.
(After some further testing the tether is going to have to be shorted to 150'.)
I wanted to be able to remove the tether form the Rov for ease of transport so I am going to try out these Ethernet Buccaneer Connectors made by Bulgin.

I'm (sort of) movie star Tom's cousin, says Tubridy
HOLLYWOOD veteran Tom Cruise may have more Irish connections than first anticipated – as it now transpires he could be distantly related to Ryan Tubridy.
The broadcaster suggested that his family and that of the 50-year-old 'Mission Impossible' star could be connected through marriage.
Tubridy's family tree states that the presenter's grand-aunt on his father's side, Temperance Ayde Curran, married a William Cruise – a possible cousin of the famous actor.
Cruise is currently on a promotional tour for his new movie 'Oblivion' and is in Dublin today for the Irish screening of the film with his co-star Olga Kurylenko and director Joseph Kosinki.
He will join Tubridy (39) on a closed set studio at RTE this afternoon to pre-record an interview for this Friday's 'Late Late Show'.
"After seeing 'Oblivion', we were talking about Tom's search for his Irish connections when I remembered that my grand-aunt married a Cruise, much to the amusement of the 'Late Late' team of course," Tubridy told the Irish Independent.
"I'm not sure if we're cousins or not, but the genealogical search continues. "I checked with my mum and I was born with a head full of jet black hair – so it must be true."
Cruise has ancestry on his father's side from Kilteevan, Co Roscommon, as well as in Dublin.
A source told the Irish Independent that security will be "very tight" at tonight's Irish premiere of 'Oblivion', to be held at the Savoy cinema on O'Connell Street in Dublin. An anti-Scientology group are planning to stage a protest outside the cinema.

You could consider it a fusion between a social bookmarking service like Reddit.com and a viral content aggregator like BuzzFeed.com. If they hooked up and had a baby, the socialbuzzwidget.com would be their love child
Wellington, New Zealand (PRWEB) October 12, 2012
The launch of Social Buzz Widget marks an exciting turning point and the introduction of a powerful new communications channel for online marketers who want to generate more targeted traffic and social media activity to their websites with a unique new service. SocialBuzzWidget.com is a free social media-advertising network, which provides mission critical feedback by displaying the most socially popular and active content online. That feedback is distributed inside an interactive widget across all member websites. The approach taken by the service is truly a unique and innovative first of its kind solution, and can provide a competitive advantage to marketers that are able to exploit this new service within their overall online marketing schemes.
Duncan Carver who is the brains behind the project says, "You could consider it a fusion between a social bookmarking service like Reddit.com and a viral content aggregator like BuzzFeed.com. If they hooked up and had a baby, the socialbuzzwidget.com would be their love child" Carver adds, " …however unlike Reddit.com our viewing audience is distributed across all member websites rather than a central hub, making it a lot more powerful in terms of the quality of visitors that it can produce."
The SocialBuzzWidget.com tracks and monitors all new content posted to websites within the network throughout the day, via their RSS feeds, and continually analyzes the social interactions of that content. FaceBook Likes, Tweets, and LinkedIn Shares are all tracked in real time and then displayed within the Social Buzz Widget along with its respective article. How that content is shown inside the widget is based upon popularity across the network. The more popular it is, the more exposure it receives.
During a private BETA release the Social Buzz Widget attracted several hundred bloggers and began serving up over 10,000 widget displays within just a matter of days. Having been satisfied with the reliability of their framework, Carver says, "We quietly went into open BETA earlier this week and have been growing at a steady pace due to the socially viral nature of the network itself".
The service made the strategic decision to host on the Amazon.com Cloud so they could instantly scale with the capability of serving up literally millions of widget impressions per day without major issue. They are fully prepared to serve up over a million widget impressions per day by the end of this December, across the entire network, Carver says.
The way their system works is that the more popular content becomes, the more exposure it receives. Members earn credits for displaying the widget to visitors on their own websites, and in turn those credits grant the member an equal amount of exposure of their latest blog content on other widgets across the network.
This gives members a unique way to gain exposure to a new-targeted audience and generate more social media activity for their content. Socialbuzzwidget's goal is to drive more high quality receptive visitors to member's websites throughout the network, in an attempt to set them apart in the social media sphere.
Carver says he saw the opportunity for the service when he recognized the problem a lot of webmasters report, when they're lucky enough to have a story featured on the front page of Reddit.com or Digg.com (which can result in tens of thousands of new visitors), is that most of those visitors are "ad blind" and don't convert into ad clicks, new leads, or sales. This is largely because those visitors tend to be experienced "techie orientated" people.
Given that the SocialBuzzWidget is distributed to a broad audience on thousands of independent websites, members gain exposure to the general internet population visiting all those websites, making those visitors much more receptive. Visitors arriving via the widget will be more inline with the type of visitors that arrive via a Google Adwords campaign.
Future plans for SocialBuzzWidget include introducing category based targeting within widgets. To illustrate "gardening" related content will be shown on "gardening" related websites within the network.
What is important to note about the service is that a member whose latest content makes it into the "Most Popular" tab of the widget for the day can not only generate tens of thousands of new visitors to that content, but those visitors will be extremely targeted and receptive to the sellers proposition. For a free service this provides tremendous value and leverage for serious bloggers and online marketers, and is something they will want to look into right away.
SocialBuzzWidget uses the most popular social media metrics to determine content popularity, and is designed and develop to give a more accurate representation of popular content across the total spectrum of Internet users.

Inboxes are clogging with unread emails. Voice-mailboxes and text are messaging tones causing tinnitus. Thumbs are cramping from pecking emails on mobile phones. No wonder it is so easy to become frustrated when the person on the other end sets off our fuses with a confusing message! By the way, are you reading this on your mobile phone at 2 a.m.?
When technology came along, business leaders saw the time-saving potential of number-crunching computers and near-human intelligence of supercomputers. What took months to calculate now takes milliseconds for a computer to analyze. So why do our lives seem to be busier, faster, and more stressful than before? How do we take control back from technology and enjoy the time between work? The answer is to reframe how we look at and use technology.
Rather than seeing technology as a 24/7 must-have part of our lives, it can be healthier and more beneficial to view it as a means to helping improve quality of life. In other words, instead of tying ourselves to the computer monitor or smart-phone screen all day long, it is necessary to draw boundaries around technology use. There are many tools available, and I have outlined the most common ones that I use to keep organized and connected.
Email and Phone Calls
As a business leader, it is easy to become tethered to smart-phones and be accessible all day and all night. But, is it worth it to wake up to read emails immediately, regardless of the urgency? Aside from the health concerns of not getting enough sleep and the effects on performance from fatigue, it also builds an organizational culture that inhibits proper use of delegation of authority. Staff become overly reliant on the leader who is always accessible, when it is possible to come up with a solution for medium- or low-priority issues in your absence.
With email inbox rules and smart-phone alert settings (some phones now come with "VIP Alerts"), it is now possible to set up a process where emails with certain urgency levels or subject lines get forwarded to you during your personal time, while others auto-reply with a message that you are away. Of course, this also requires discussing your boundaries with teammates and staff, so that they are aware of when you will respond and when it is up to them to take initiative. Also, remember to call people or meet them directly when discussing complicated or personal matters. Email is a great follow-up tool to confirm what was discussed verbally, but it lacks the tactfulness and quick richness of vocal dialogue.
To-Do Lists
Aside from personal boundary-setting, technology can help you to track your to-do lists, and even share them with others so that they know what is still in queue. Lists can be therapeutic in a sense as well, because crossing off completed items allows you to see how much you have already finished. This is especially rewarding when the number of action items seems unending: As you progress, you will see that you are making progress. Need to generate a status report? Refer back to your action item list to see what you have accomplished and what is yet to be done. My personal preference is for Apple's Reminders app, because it syncs with my phone, home computer, and the iCloud. That way I receive reminders of all my action items' due dates on my devices and can check them off wherever I am.
Document Sharing
While I prefer reading printed copies over on-screen documents, it is generally faster (and more environmentally friendly) to view docs on a computer or smart phone. Sharing documents with teams can cause confusion when emailing different versions back and forth for editing: "Did I include Sally's changes in that version? Wait, she sent two. Ok, now is this the final draft, or is that? Oops – I forgot that Jack's email was saved in another folder, and I had not yet incorporated his changes."
Two of the available options solve this problem: Subversion and the Cloud. Subversion allows users on the same network to share the same version of documents and includes version control (with locking and unlocking of files) to assist teams collaborating together. Cloud services offer similar functionality, without requiring everyone to be on the same server. I use Google Docs/Drive when collaborating with teams as well. It allows anyone with a Google Account (which can be created from generally any email address) to share documents online. It also lets you see who made which changes, and multiple users can edit the same document simultaneously. Google Docs are also accessible via smart phones and tablets with Internet access.
Paper and Pencil
Sometimes good ol' fashioned paper and pencil (or whiteboard and marker) make for the best technology. This is especially the case when starting to draft an idea, diagram, or document from scratch. Mind-mapping, brainstorming, and sketching symbols, words, or phrases help to pull innovative thoughts out of your mind and put them onto paper. It is easy to edit using paper and pencil, shaping the idea until it looks just right. Then it is possible to take a photo or recreate the draft electronically to share with others on the team.
When preparing to use technology to help you organize or connect with others, it is important to first understand why you need the tool: what issue or challenge is being addressed? Then, analyze the different options available and select a medium that is optimal for the identified issue. Also remember to set some boundaries regarding when, how, and why you will use that tool. It is wise to use technology to your advantage so long as you remember to take breaks and recharge your own batteries.

View Thread: Surface Pro as Laptop/Desktop replacement
I'd say we should let the device speak for itself before claiming that it's not fit for X of Y scenario based on a few articles in the pop tech press.
Outside of this, given the physical dimensions, it could be that some won't want to code full time on it, for example (though from a power and performance perspective, it's certainly possible. The device is not lacking in the computing capability department).

Yes, you can join. Just put the url in your sig.
Points, hmm. I don't know, maybe I can use it for promo Bonus Disc Pokemon giveaways....yes, I'll think about that.
Also, even if we have lots of members, it'll be like the last club where no one is active except those who ACTUALLY BOTHER TO PUT THE LINK IN THEIR SIGS!
It's proven, I've been bored enough to post in the old TAC enough times to know. =\
PM them in putting a supportive sig and then I'll think long and hard about it. xD
When we get enough active members, then I'll literally stop caring and accept them all.
EDIT: Point system is up! Read the first post to see how it works!

Please stop posting the same thing, over and over again. I will make a Manaphy banner with a lot of them sooner or later. I may do it on my dad's Photoshop.
Could I be added to the member list? I think I wasn't last time because I didn't have the link to this in my signature, but that's fixed.
By the way, I can always make more banners, I just need the ideas though :P
Make one with

I have an announcement about the Point System on this club. Other than it being totally pwnage, and will at least attract more members, sorta; anyways members who want to partake in the Point System please reply back.
This is so that there will be less number crunching for me to help you guys get your points.
Also, people can get a free 6 points if they PM members to help them with their sigs.
PM me before you do so.
I'd like to join, please.

I want to be in the point system. Did you put them by the member's names?
Espeon, you just reminded me to post the link to the banner:
Thanks for giving me credit by the way :P
Edit: Remember to remove *'s
So, far link in sig.
1 banner/ 2 banners if you count my Manaphy one. I wanted to try something a little different.... The reason for the Pokemon Ranger game is, because you can only get Manaphy in Ranger. That's why Manaphy says it's special and, because you can only get one per game (correct me if I'm wrong). [IMG][/IMG]
Edit. Here's my third one. [IMG][img=http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/144/untitledcv8.th.png][/IMG]

Sorry for not really being here do we get points for getting other people to join?
WATERYou are quiet and timid, most likely one of the smarter people in school. You don't have a lot of close friends, but the ones you have mean the world to you. People may avoid you at times, but you don't care. You like to be on your own, anyway. You know most likely better than others what goes on around you. You can see the good and bad in everything, and you don't overlook anything. You are a little bit of a perfectionist, you can't stand clutter. You like to finish anything you start 100 percent, not missing anything. Although you are very calm and self-controlled, you can be very fierce and intimidating when you need to be.
std rules pm me for a battle.
FC: 3308 5334 5293(brawl)
Just wondering: is it deemed acceptable to clone a legendary prior to EV training, just in case you stuff up?
I would say so. That is just making a back-up in case something goes wrong. We are talking about the trading part of cloning.
^ Agreed. I personally would say there's nothing wrong if you use cloning for back-up of your precious hex coded friends. ^^
The club's just against using them for trading. But even then, my main concern is if some guy found an Uber Kyogre and spread it through WiFi or something. xD
If you haven't noticed, my fear of Kyogre is high, but I have my perfectly bred Dodrio to counter! :P
So personally for me (not anyone else's opinion) here's what I find acceptable in cloning:
Backing up your precious Pokes (hey, they might die in a freak accident) *stares at Mountain Dew inconveniently placed near DS Lite at time of post*
Using it to clone items like TMs for battling purposes (hey, not all TMs are infinite, and the good ones are usually expensive or one-offs)
Everything else in usage of cloning will go under Leebui's following category: Neutral.
As a collector/competitive battler (odd combination, I know) I want to my Pokemon to have full value. Also, I want my 3-seconds of joy when I perfectly breed an Zero IV across the board Rattata for a certain moveset breakthrough founded last month.
So I'm not going to bash cloners, and I think a neutral owner is nice, because then they can see from both sides.
Anyway, I'll add the points up on Friday when I'm school-less.
Woo! Another banner done (I drew the Celebi in Paint using colours from the DP sprite :P)
Now, i'm not reallsy sure if the official name of this club is 'Trainers Against Cloning' or 'Anti-Cloning Club', so I made two versions, so if you decide to use it you can use the right one :P

Way back when, you had to go pick up an absentee ballot yourself...not sent out to everyone. I got one and tore it up. Your right 1 day voting and if you cannot stand in line, go home. Those that care will stand in line. I do like the purple finger but the dem's will say someone could be allergic to it. Picture ID is the best...I think you even need it for welfare....
While I'm not thrilled with early voting, I think a good compromise would be to allow voting on the Saturday before election day. If folks cannot get their act together that day or election day, they just need to stay home.
Photo ID or 2 forms of govt issued, non-photo ID required.
i.e. EBT card and SS card.
And land sakes, we need to go back to a paper ballot!
No more electronic voting machines. TOO much distrust.

From a brand new medical facility to the addition of residential and commercial development on Broadway and the former military ocean terminal—big changes are coming to Bayonne. On February 8th, city officials and the Bayonne Chamber of Commerce held a meeting at Cape Liberty Cruise Port to let residents know what's in the works.
City officials want to increase tax revenue by putting up large residential units that will attract more businesses, filling in many vacant lots and replacing the dilapidated structures that now line some parts of Bayonne.
Already in the works–Barnabas Health's 3-story outpatient facility between 23rd and 24th streets on Broadway. The facility will feature a 24/7 emergency department, imaging center retail pharmacy along with primary care and other services. The building is slated for completion in December and will have its own parking garage.
Plans are in the works for various parts of Broadway's 2 point 5 mile commercial fare.
At 46th Street and Broadway, a developer wants to put up a multi-story mixed use residential building with retail on the first floor. The vacant area where the former M&M store at 21st Street once stood is also set to be transformed.
And in case residents are wondering – tax abatements are part of the discussion – specifically what's called payments in lieu of taxes.

FreeQueryBuilder – a better SQL tool
Frequently moving between companies means that I sometimes find myself jumping from using Toad one week to Microsoft Query (yuck!) the next.
Now that I have had the chance to use it on a couple of different projects, I think that FreeQueryBuilder is a pretty good replacement for most of the SQL tools that I have had to use; and it certainly saves the effort of learning a new interface every time I move projects.
The best part of it is that it is shipped as a jar file, so you don't have to install anything to use it – allowing you to bypass the week-long delay you are likely to experience at large companies waiting for the desktop support team to install software you need to do your job with.
Off the top of my head, the other things that make it a neat tool are:
- It works with all the popular databases
- Shows relationships between tables
- Makes it easy to search through the data dictionary for table or field names
- Allows you to write queries by clicking buttons instead of typing, but gives you a text editor option too
Give it a go!
Update: The FreeQueryBuilder project has been discontinued. The software is now known as SQLeonado, and has some additional features.

Face Off: Is it Okay to Ask Someone if They've Had Plastic Surgery?
In a recent edition of the "Social Q's" advice column published in The New York Times, columnist Philip Galanes answered a question posed by a woman in Los Angeles regarding her sister's facelift surgery. The reader, Wendy, wrote she'd not seen her sister in over a year but, "judging from her Facebook profile, I think she may have gotten a facelift for her 50th birthday… she looked all tucked and botoxed and nothing like herself. What should I say?"
Galanes advises Wendy to avoid jumping to conclusions as photo editing software is easy to come by nowadays. If her sister did undergo cosmetic procedures like a facelift and wanted Wendy to know about them, she would have told her. "She may feel judged or self-conscious, though if I am reading between the lines correctly, a part of you may want her to feel that way," says Galanes.
While reports are suggesting that anti-aging cosmetic surgery procedures are becoming more socially accepted by both men and women, there are still many people who feel that undergoing even non-invasive anti-aging procedures like skin resurfacing are considered "cheating" Father Time. Celebrity news websites constantly report on the latest star assumed to have gone under the knife, perpetuating the notion that procedures like blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and forehead lift are grounds for criticism.
What many people may not realize is that no two people age the same way. Photographs of twins placed side by side show that while heredity does determine certain elements of how your skin ages, lifestyle and environmental influences are also important. Factors like sun exposure, smoking, stress, lack of sleep, and an unhealthy diet all contribute to how old you look. Some individuals choose to age naturally, foregoing anti-aging procedures, while others want to look as young as they feel.
Many people believe that cosmetic surgery is about changing your appearance or the facial features with which you were born. However, most board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons can attest that changing the patient's overall appearance is often the exact opposite of their goals. Instead, surgeons like Dr. Fernando Burstein work to enhance patients' features, helping them to look younger, but still look like themselves. The best results mean that those who know the patient will notice something different, but won't be able to pinpoint exactly what has changed. Dr. Burstein and his medical team work to provide patients with optimal care to achieve their desired plastic surgery results.

There will come a time when you realize that you want to get something off of your iPhone, and yet you don't have access to the Mac your normally sync with, or your Mac's hard drive has failed. That's when getting information off of your iPhone can become a daunting task. Here are a few different ways to recover different types of data from your iPhone.
The good news is that you can access the iPhone photos you've taken from any Mac (and not just the one you sync with) using the OS X Image Capture app. In fact, you can even use the iPad Camera Adapter. The iPhone itself will look like any other camera that you connect to either your Mac or your iPad. You also even use iPhoto or Aperture directly to perform the transfer. Some of the techniques outlined below can also be used to directly copy image files off of the iPhone when importing from iPhoto fails.
Ever since the arrival of the iPod, there have been ways to extract music from your Apple device. These same utilities are still applicable to the iPhone. The tricky part is that the files and directory structure are not represented in human friendly text. There is a database file that Apple uses to translate the gibberish back into the artist, album, song format you are familiar with. Many of the free solutions like Macroplant's iPhone Explorer, will allow you to copy the music files directly from the iPhone to your Mac in the nonsense naming format they are in on the iPhone.
So long as you have iTunes configured to "Copy files to your iTunes Media folder", as well as to "Keep iTunes Media File organized", then the file names will all be restored once you have imported the music back into your iTunes Library. It will retrieve the names of the artist, album and song from the ID3v2 tag embedded in the music file.
Other free solutions like HeadLightSoft's DeTune (formerly know as expod) will perform the translation before you transfer the files. There are other paid solutions like FadingRed's Senuti for $18.99, which are also quite good at what they do. But for the money, DeTunes offers a more than adequate solution if all you want to do is recover your device-locked music.
Sometimes you may have to get app and data regarding iPhone usage from your phone to your computer outside of iTunes. While you can use Macroplant's iPhone Explorer to perform this task, I have found that their Pod to Mac product for $19.95 delivers more value. Also in this category, and my personal preference is Ecamm's PhoneView also for $19.95. Both Pod to Mac and PhoneView offer a way to access SMS Messages, VoiceMail, Call History, Contacts, and Calendar information. They also offer solutions to access your Photos, Media Files and even the locally stored files for each app you have installed.
There has been a lot of press regarding the storage of location information in the consolidated.db file on your iPhone. Apple recently revealed that it actually provides a database of cell and Wi-Fi tower locations in and around where you use your device, but the info is still interesting. While not part of a formal product offering, there is a crude yet effective tool called iPhone Tracker on GitHub that lets you see it.
Extract From Backup
Sometimes something has happened to your iPhone and you need to extract a file from your iPhone backups. This includes accessing any photos you had on your iPhone at the time of your last backup. There are two utilities that I use to perform this task, SuperCrazyAwesome's iPhone Backup Extractor which is a free utility, and addPod's Juice Phone, also free. Neither solution will work if you have encrypted your backup files. Both allow you to access the backed up data as if the iPhone was connected to your Mac.
So until Apple comes up with a solid cloud-based solution for iOS products, the fact remains that all iOS devices are just satellites to their Mac hosts. And so long as you need to sync between your Mac and your iOS device, there is a chance that either your Mac will fail, or your iOS device will fail. The above solutions will have you covered until Apple comes up with a better solution of its own.

Music CDs take up space, break easily, get lost and aren't nearly as easy to organize and manage as a hard drive-based iTunes collection. But if you want to back up your existing CD collection on your computer, it's not as simple as just sticking the CD in your computer and hitting "Import," especially if you're concerned about audio quality.
You'd be mistaken for assuming that copying a music CD couldn't be more complicated than copying a data disc. Well, it is, especially on a Mac. While Windows solutions like Exact Audio Copy (EAC) have long been cited as the gold standard for audio backups, a Mac version doesn't exist. But I've come to find the abilities of the awesome, free X Lossless Decoder (XLD) on the Mac to be on par with those of EAC on the PC. XLD is the star of the first two methods below, while iTunes rounds out the list.
The big difference between using XLD and just using iTunes to rip a CD lies in the implementation of what is called Secure Ripping. Put simply, all optical discs (CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays) can become damaged. Inherent in the design of a disc is the ability to rebuild lost data segments due to physical damage. This built-in error correction capability can be exploited to make extremely accurate reproductions of the original audio stored on the disc. The technique employed to securely rip a CD typically involves reading each segment of the disk multiple times, comparing the results of each read over and over until the ripping software is satisfied that it has an accurate representation of the original audio data. When there's an error, the ripping software attempts to rebuild the missing data segment. These results can be further analyzed against a database of other ripped tracks such as AccurateRip. Both EAC and XLD employ these secure ripping techniques and verify their results via AccurateRip for the best possible audio fidelity.
To decode a disk using XLD on the Mac you need to:
Note that in order to add album art, you'll need to download the image file separately and add it manually. Ripping in this secure manner will take a little longer than other ripping methods. This is, again, due to how the information is being read, verified and corrected before decoding.
Now you have backups of your music on your hard drive, ready to add to your iTunes collection. But Unlike EAC, XLD can't take your backed-up music files and perfectly recreate a disc-based copy complete with the same file structure and sound quality. But just because XLD can't do it doesn't make it impossible.
Enter Roxio Toast, a program that allows you to make copies of audio CDs or back them up as image files. You have several copy options available to you with Toast. You can copy the CD directly, save the album as a Sound Designer II image file, or save the CD as a binary copy with a cue sheet (BIN/CUE). If you choose to create a BIN/CUE copy of the music CD on your hard drive, you can then use XLD later to decode the image and create individual music files for each track, or use your BIN/CUE version to create an exact replica using a CD-R. That way, you'll have a burnable perfect copy of your disc, and files for your iTunes library. To do this, you need to:
Again, in order to add album art, you will need to download the image file separately and add it manually.
The final, and simplest option, is to use iTunes and simply encode a music CD using Apple's Lossless encoder directly from within iTunes itself. iTunes can be configured to export many of the same audio formats as XLD. iTunes also has the option to use error correction when reading Audio CDs. This is all relatively easy to configure via the Import Settings of the General tab within iTunes Preferences. You can even burn a high-quality Music CD from within iTunes.
While it may all sound very good, this method likely won't result in an exact copy of the original music CD. Any time you decode an album and then take the decoded files in some other audio format and burn it back onto a CD-R, you jeopardize the integrity of the disc's structure as well as the audio quality itself. Which method you end up choosing really boils down to how exact you want your copies to be.

This card started as a Bokeh attempt, turned into a big mess, and ended up being beautiful! I started with watercolor paper and dropped with an aqua painter Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky and Daffodil Delight. The Pear Pizzazz turned very muddy, but I added the circles with White Craft ink and it looked okay – but needed something. So I spritzed it with Elegant Eggplant ink mixed with alcohol. Then I stamped it using Gorgeous Grunge in Silver Encore ink! Finally I added the butterfly and some Dazzling Details. Needless to say, the texture on this card is amazing 🙂
So the moral for this card is – more is better! Hugs, Fran

Homemade Vanilla Extract
This is probably the best DIY Christmas gift. It took about 10 seconds to assemble and looks really impressive. It's also very cost effective. I'm also considering keeping this and not giving it as a gift at all!
I originally wanted to make a trio vanillas using a Tahitian, Mexican and Madagascar beans after reading Pure Vanilla. I wasn't able to find any Mexican beans from any UK retailers though so I made one bottle of Tahitian vanilla. I won't go into the details about the different kinds of vanilla since Shauna goes into that detail in her book.
Find out how to make your own vanilla here. The vanilla takes about two months to brew. I attached a label and put the date that it should be used on since it's already less than two months to Christmas!
I received the bottle from Lakeland.

Republican Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial candidates decline Palin's offer to campaign for them but at least one blogger see's no ulterior motive in the move:
Romney, Huckabee, Jindal, and Pawlenty have all been to Virginia on McDonnell's behalf. Proof of a Gillespie vendetta against Palin? Or just basic no-brainer politics in not wanting to "benefit" from a cameo by someone whose favorable rating among independents is 33/59? McDonnell's sitting on a nine-point lead in a state that broke for Obama last year by six points; why on earth would he risk the upheaval of a Palin appearance, particularly when the Democrats have been trying to caricature him as the same sort of rabid social con that the media caricatured her as?
The hard fact of the matter is that Sarahcuda's only a clear asset on the trail in a red district where the base isn't turning out. That's why she was a good bet in Saxby Chambliss's run-off in Georgia last year: The GOP knew it had the votes to win the election, they just needed to give dispirited grassroots conservatives a reason to go out and vote. Enter Palin. In purplish states like Virginia (and blue states like New Jersey, needless to say), having her out there becomes a crapshoot because it risks goosing turnout among liberals more than conservatives. In fact, assuming that conservatives stay motivated to send The One a message next year in the midterms, demand for her will probably be low since turnout will be high even without her help. What am I missing here?

Aaron Sorkin, Stephen Sondheim, Margaret Atwood - and of course, Scarlett O'Hara. These are just some of the big names Manitobans will see on stage next season at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre.
MTC artistic director Steven Schipper announced the lineup this morning. Here's what's coming up at the John Hirsch Mainstage:
A Few Good Men by Aaron Sorkin (Oct. 18 - Nov. 10): The movie is far better known than the play, and Sorkin better known for TV dramas like The West Wing. But the military courtroom drama began on stage in 1989, and MTC will kick their season off with that version.
Miracle on South Division Street by Tom Dudzick (Nov. 22 - Dec. 15): A family comedy centred around a miracle and a statue of the Virgin Mary, from the playwright behind Over the Tavern (a lovely comedy which was part of MTC's 2006-2007 season).
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, adapted by Niki Landau (Jan. 10 - Feb. 2): The world premiere of a new adaptation of Mitchell's epic Civil War drama by Toronto playwright Landau. Will you, frankly, give a damn, my dear? We'll see next January.
Ed's Garage by Dan Needles (Feb. 7 - Mar. 2): A light city-meets-small-town comedy from a group of guys who are familiar with that premise - Dan Needles writes the remarkably popular Wingfield plays, and Rod Beattie - Walt Wingfield himself - will star.
Daddy Long Legs by Paul Gordon and John Caird (Mar. 14 - Apr. 6): A musical adaptation of Jean Webster's 1912 novel about an orphan and her mysterious benefactor.
Other People's Money by Jerry Sterner (Apr. 18 - May 11): Another play best known for the film version, this 1989 story of a corporate raider may resonate in today's economic climate.
And here's what we'll see at the Tom Hendry Warehouse:
Red by John Logan (Nov. 1 - 17): Logan's 2009 drama about the artist Mark Rothko was a major hit earlier this season for Canadian Stage in Toronto this season. Will MTC's co-production with Victoria's Belfry Theatre repeat that success? We'll see next fall.
Assassins by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman (Jan. 17 - Feb. 2): MTC's entry in the 2013 Master Playwright Fest is Sondheim's darkly comical musical about nine people who have attempted to kill the American president. Presented by BirdLand Theatre and Talk Is Free Theatre, two artist-run musical theatre companies from Toronto.
The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood (Feb. 21 - Mar. 9): The stage adaptation of Margaret Atwood's 2005 retelling of the myth of Penelope was a smash hit for Toronto's Buddies In Bad Times theatre earlier this year. We'll see what the fuss is about next February.
Ride the Cyclone by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell (Mar. 21 - Apr. 6): A quirky, dark musical from the much-lauded Victoria company Atomic Vaudeville - it features the final "from-beyond-the-grave" performance of a teenage chamber choir who are killed in a roller coaster accident. Yup, that's quirky and dark all right.

I attend a Krav Maga school and fortunately I think its a good one. I hope this isn't seen as a thread hijack; I just want to give the OP a comparison.
stray_bullet is correct that, at least at my place, its mostly Kickboxing but don't belittle some of those techniques they teach. I am 6'6", 260lbs and I have tried for example to maintain a front choke hold on a small female and could not. They do work.
My academy has a flat monthly fee with no limit on the number of classes you can take. There is a testing fee, can't remember how much, but it was relatively small.
My place is also a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school. We are encouraged to cross train, no additional fee, which I do.
Sparring isn't done at the beginner level but beyond that it is. I go in 1-2 times a week to spar. Mostly Kickboxing but it does go to the ground and no one complains.

Newspaper article The Florida Times Union
Group Tries to Preserve Historic Cemeteries; West Augustine Improvement Association Clears Graveyards in Blighted Area
Article excerpt
Byline: KEN LEWIS, The Times-Union
ST. AUGUSTINE -- Linda Murray knelt by the old grave site, clearing away weeds to show the symbolic chains on the stone.
As a member of the West Augustine Improvement Association, she is helping to clear the historic Pinehurst and San Sebastian cemeteries in a blighted area a few hundred yards west of St. Augustine city limits. When the volunteers started working, the acreage in West Augustine was so overgrown that many people didn't even know it was a cemetery.
"This man was born a slave," she said, goosebumps breaking out on her arm. "That's what the chain symbolizes. We have a lot of history, going back here."
Group members started cleaning and restoring the cemeteries in February. They meet the first and third Saturdays of each month from 9 a.m. to noon, and they say they need community support.
A project is under way to determine whether these or other cemeteries in St. Johns County are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, said Charles Tingley, library manager of the St. Augustine Historical Research Library. It started after a state-requested survey of abandoned cemeteries was done by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office in 1999.
Sheila Greenleaf, a training clerk with the Sheriff's Office, spent nine months tending to the cemetery with Howard Strickland and Judy Allen in 1999, she said. They cataloged the names on the gravestones and tried to find obituaries and death certificates. They gave a report about their work to the St. Augustine Historical Society.
The Sheriff's Office survey found 44 cemeteries in St. Johns County, from the well-kept to the abandoned, she said. Nobody is sure who owns the San Sebastian cemetery, but it is old enough to bear Union soldiers from the Civil War.
"We believe San Sebastian is probably the oldest black cemetery in the area," Greenleaf said.
She and her allies tended to San Sebastian in 1999 from January to October, but they couldn't get community support for continued maintenance.
"I took my husband's chain saw and just flat wore it out to death," Greenleaf said. …


text: My first ride after MSF was my dad's 1500 Goldwing. I rode that until I got my first bike. Price was the driving factor in going with the 650 Nighthawk. I figured I would lay it down at some point (and I did), but it was still a bike that I liked the looks of and had enough power for me. Plus I wanted to have money for gear. I'm glad I didn't go with anything less than that actually. Then again, I have a little more mass than many people. If money was no object, I'm not sure what I would have bought back then.

Our Work CFI completed major trail construction and restoration on Sunlight Peak in 2007 and from 2009-2010. This year, CFI returns to Chicago Basin to work extensively on Mt. Eolus.
Recommended Route Chicago Basin Route—use of this route will help to reduce impacts to these Fourteener's fragile alpine environments. For detailed route information including photos, maps, and elevation profiles, click here.
Route Information and Additional Resources Two approaches are available to the Chicago Basin. One is a 18-mile backpack from Purgatory Trailhead off Highway 550 near the Purgatory Ski area. The second is to take the Durango & Silverton Railroad to the Needleton Stop. From the Needleton stop, you hike another 6.5 miles east to the Chicago Basin.
For Windom Peak, gain the Twin Lakes Trail out of the Chicago Basin. From Twin Lakes, hike east to the saddle between Windom Peak and Peak 18. Continue east to the summit of Windom.
Sunlight Peak is often climbed in conjunction with Windom Peak. From Windom Peak travel north-northeast to Sunlight. From Sunlight, you can descend by the same route, or drop down the southern talus ridges. Sunlight can be climbed by itself from the south slopes.
Contact the Durango & Silverton Railroad, at 970-247-2733 for tickets, departure schedules and reservations. Check backpacker policies in place at that time.
The above information does not replace the need to consult additional maps and Colorado Fourteener Guidebooks for more detailed route descriptions. We suggest checking multiple resources before departing on any hike. Keep in mind that not all guidebooks list this recommended route and that each guidebook's description or route name may vary slightly.
Peak Specific Environmental and Safety Concerns No wood fires are allowed anywhere in the Needle Creek Drainage.
No wood fires or camping are allowed in the Twin Lakes Basin.
