The SR Max 125 is a nice little city scooter, with bags of weather protection and comfort for longer journeys. Struggles at speeds above 40mph, but at town speeds it's perfectly adequate. Handling is spot on. If you want an all year round scoot with good wether protection the SR Max 125 is a great choice.

The Super 8 125 is probably the most polished feeling scooter that Kymco make. It offers the sportiness of the Agility with the comfort of the Like. The ride has a nice feel to it and the finish on the dash, seat and pipes looks the best of the lot. It's well priced too.

Famous Italian motorcycle brand Garelli is back with a new range of scooters and mopeds. The XO is effectively their flagship model and benefits from sharp looks, stable 16" wheels and decent disc brakes.

When you hear the spec of the Derbi GP1 250 Racing scooter it's easier to think of a proper motorcycle rather than a funky-looking twist-and-go scooter. It's got radial brakes, earlier versions had a single rear shock and it even has a twin-spar aluminium chassis too. This is about as cool-looking as it gets in the 250cc scooter market.

The idea behind the Yamaha YBR125 Custom is dead simple: take the straightforward YBR125 commuter, customize it a bit with high bars, more chrome and a lower seat, bump up the price a tad, and there you go, a pointlessly more expensive and less tasteful runabout. In reality, it makes a lot of sense as the low seat makes it ...

The Piaggio Typhoon 50 has been around 16 years – as long as the teens allowed to ride it! Originally a cutting edge sports scooter, the lightweight Typhoon is still a lot of fun but is now at the bottom end of the sports 50 price scale, making it good value for money.

And this is why I disliked Mal kicking River and Simon out in the film Serenity. Because it was like a slap to the face after all the development the crew had been through. ;__;
Well, remember though it was even more Simon's decision than it was Mal's. Simon'd been pushing Mal to not involve River in the heist, and was feeling vindicated in his fears with the Reaver encounter. (Not an unjust opinion from a protective older brother I suppose). Simon then striking Mal was an act of mutiny - the fact Mal didn't clean the floor with Simon was in my opinion Mal's way of saying "Ya ain't wrong, but ya ain't right, neither." Remember too, Mal never said the words "I want you off of my boat." It was much more "You want off? Shiny. Go."
at least, my .02 :)

Standard Aero Fulfills Old Promises
StandardAero is here bearing the fruits of its labors over the past year. And according to v-p of business development strategy Marc McGowan, it is in no small part a matter of fulfilling the promises made at last year's NBAA convention.
Among the promises kept is an expansion of its mobile service teams in North America, bringing the total to 11, with a twelfth planned by the end of the year. While based in North America, the teams provide worldwide coverage. The two most recent additions to the network include one in Scottsdale, Ariz., and one in Dallas, Ga., near Atlanta. The twelfth team is to be located in northern Delaware, likely Wilmington. Also planned is a Northeast-based mobile service team specializing in avionics.
StandardAero has also continued to move ahead with its support of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300 series with the introduction of PW305 service at the StandardAero facility in Houston.
The company is also planning to expand worldwide through a series of new partnerships. While the greater part of its business is in North America, the new partnerships will begin in Europe and move on to the Russia, India and China markets.
The company is also expanding its engine product lines to match its airframe capabilities as part of its CompleteCare service philosophy. At this point, all maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) support for the PW307 and PW308 engines is in Springfield, Ill. Additional PW300 series service rollouts are planned at the Los Angeles and Augusta, Ga. service centers.
New PW305 engine service adds to StandardAero capabilities that already include the TFE731, TPE331, HTF7000 and CFE738 engines, the GE CF34 and the Rolls-Royce AE3007, as well as Honeywell's APUs.
Also noted was StandardAero's FastLane guaranteed 14-day compressor zone inspection turn-time, which said is now averaging just 11 days and in some cases as low as six days.
StandardAero announced an expansion into parts trading as part of a strategic business focus that includes buying and selling of parts for business aviation aircraft. This includes APUs, whole engines, avionics and airframe components. "Given the breadth and global reach of StandardAero's MRO network, we recognized the business synergies involved in parts selling and trading, and integrating it into our core operational strategy," said senior v-p for business aviation Scott Taylor.
Finally, StandardAero announced that it has entered into an exclusive agreement with Honeywell for shop-level maintenance of TFE731 rental bank engines. The first rental bank engine was recently received at StandardAero's Los Angeles facility. "By maintaining a bank of rental engines, our customers are assured that their downtime will be kept to a minimum and their costs the lowest possible," said Taylor.

April 01, 2014, 3:14 PM — Google recently trumpeted that it now encrypts Gmail messages while shuffling them among its data centers, an extra security layer aimed at thwarting government and criminal snoops, but didn't say if it applies this protection to its other applications.
Asked for clarification, the company declined to comment. "We don't have more details to share beyond the Gmail news, but we're always working in strengthening and encrypting across more services and links," a spokeswoman said via email.
Google's reluctance to clarify the scope of its internal encryption is baffling and does a disservice to enterprise customers who rely on the Apps suite for workplace communication, cloud storage and collaboration, according to analysts.
"When confronted with the evidence of a compromise, and asked for an explanation as to how it happened and what they are doing about it, Google is dissembling. This is no basis for trust," said Jay Heiser, a Gartner analyst.
At issue are reports from last year, based on leaks from former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden, that the agency snooped on users of online services in part by intercepting data Internet companies transmitted unencrypted in "plain text" among their own servers and data centers.
Back in September, Google officials told The Washington Post that the company was accelerating efforts to encrypt communications between its data centers as a result of these reports.
"It's an arms race," Eric Grosse, vice president for security engineering at Google, said at the time.
About two weeks ago, Google announced it had turned on this "internal" encryption for Gmail, but glaringly neglected to address if and when this will be done for its other services and applications.
"Every single email message you send or receive -- 100 percent of them -- is encrypted while moving internally. This ensures that your messages are safe not only when they move between you and Gmail's servers, but also as they move between Google's data centers -- something we made a top priority after last summer's revelations," the Google post reads.
The Google spokeswoman declined to provide an update on the efforts described in The Washington Post article in September, in which Google officials were quoted as saying the "end to end" internal encryption project would be completed "soon." The spokeswoman also declined to say exactly when this encryption was turned on for Gmail, acknowledging only that it was first announced in the March 20 blog post.

The UCI this week formally recommended the Spanish cycling federation open a case against Alberto Contador and the reaction in some quarters was: about time! The RFEC then caused more consternation by saying it would take up to three months (!) for a four-member panel to render a verdict. Cue rending of garments and gnashing of teeth.
Personally, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. To have an initial decision in the Contador case in early February would be light speed as far as anti-doping adjudications go. Recall that Floyd Landis waited well over a year for his first case to be decided. Ditto for Tyler Hamilton. Franco Pellizotti lost almost an entire season before his suspension was reversed.
And arbitration hearings move faster than the court system as well. Operacion Puerto is now finally winding down to a muted whimper of a conclusion, and in the U.S., Barry Bonds is finally set to go to trial on perjury charges in March of 2011 - for statements he made almost eight years ago.
If Contador gets a decision in February that is favorable to him, he still has plenty of time to prepare himself for the 2011 Tour de France. If the decision doesn't go his way, his season is likely lost while he awaits an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But it's hard to claim straight-facedly that somehow justice is moving too slowly.
I'm far more concerned about justice being done at all, because of the variability in how anti-doping cases are decided at the national level. In the U.S., anti-doping cases are pressed by USADA, and heard before an independent arbitration body, the American Arbitration Association.
In Spain, they're decided by a panel within the cycling federation itself. The head of the selfsame federation, Juan Carlos Castano, said earlier this week that he hopes Contador is absolved because he likes the racer and has known him since his days as a junior.
Castano hastened to add that only the four members of the panel would have any knowledge of the facts in the case and would act independently, but how is that possible when the president of the organization has publicly supported Contador?
Conspicuously absent here is any involvement by the Spanish national anti-doping agency or national Olympic committee (which do factor in cases in other countries, like Italy). That sort of raises the question of what exactly Spain's two (yes, there are two) anti-doping agencies actually do. Until WADA standardizes how doping cases are adjudicated, sports will be subject to questionable case handling and accusations of soft treatment.
Personally, I'm less interested in whether a decision in Contador's case comes in December or April; I just want it to be fair and unbiased. Spain's track record there is pretty thin.

Jylisa Williams and the Lakehead Thunderwolves have the OUA basketball playoffs in their sights, but they're not quite there just yet.
Standing in their way, on the penultimate weekend of the regular season, is a trip to Laurier and a pair of dates against the No. 9 Golden Hawks.
Williams, named Tuesday as her program's athlete of the month for January, said the Wolves are on the upswing and determined to stay on that track as the post-season closes in.
"I watched a lot of tape so far, because I've heard a lot about (Laurier)," she said. "They're really tough, but I feel like if we play our 'A' game, on any given night any team can fall to us, definitely."
The key is finding and maintaining that consistency.
The Wolves, stuck in a .500 rut, enter weekend play at 9-9, tied for fifth spot in the OUA West. Last Friday they played a full 40 minutes, held McMaster to 46 points and walked away with a six-point victory. But on Saturday, with a chance to take over fourth place, LU came out flat, lost by nine and found themselves in the exact same position they began the weekend at.
Williams, who's averaging an OUA second best 20.6 points a night in eight games after joining the Thunderwolves active roster after the Christmas break, said the consistency will come with discipline.
"We've tried to hammer that in our heads and we know consistency has been a problem. Basically we have to forget about the past (but) we have to remind ourselves what we have done in the past, that we had no discipline," she said.
Finding that winning form before the playoffs arrive will key any post-season success the revamped Thunderwolves might enjoy, Williams added.
Tied with Brock, the two teams have a three-game cushion over Guelph, on the outside looking in, in seventh place with just four games to go.
The Gryphons land at the Thunderdome next weekend for the regular-season's final two contests, but the Wolves are hoping to have sewn up a playoff spot before then.
A win over the Golden Hawks would be a good start.
"It would be nice to go to their place and split, but it's going to be tough," said LU coach Jon Kreiner. "I think they're ninth right now, but I think they should be a little higher than that. They're a tough team to defend because they've got so many shooters, they've got so many players who can play."
Add in one of the top defences in the OUA, and finding that win won't be easy, he added.
"If we have the same start that we had on Saturday, against Laurier, then they'll put us away pretty early," Kreiner said, admitting his team doesn't deal well with half-court pressure.
"We need to start better. I don't think our team was prepared for Saturday's game like we were for Friday's game. But we addressed that in practice yesterday."

San Marcos Named Fastest Growing City
The Texas cities of San Marcos, Frisco and Cedar Park were No. 1, 2 and 4 in percentage population growth between 2012 and 2013, each growing by at least 5 percent in that time span.
San Marcos — a city between Austin and San Antonio — has topped the list of expanding cities with more than 50,000 people for the second year in a row, showing growth of 8 percent between July 2012 and 2013 to 54,076 people.
Mayor Daniel Guerrero (SMHS Class of 1995!) noted that while the city has been enjoying steady growth for years, and set aside money to keep up, not everything has gone as planned. The Great Recession and a sudden rise in costs forced San Marcos to delay major construction. Now, it is rushing to lay down new roads, expand existing ones, add bike paths and repair or replace old utility pipelines.
"So throughout San Marcos you see a multitude of construction," Guerrero said.

The "new" San Marcos High School opened in the fall of 2007. The state of the art facility is conveniently located between IH 35 and Highway 123 off McCarty Lane.
The new big news is that in September of 2014, we will play our home opening football game in our brand new football stadium. This is the first time in the history of San Marcos High School that we will have our own football stadium. Texas State University has been generous for so many years but the university has grown so much (more than 35,000 students this year!) that scheduling Friday night games became nearly impossible.
The new multi-purpose athletic stadium will be built to seat a total of 8,000 spectators. The home side of the stadium will have a total grandstand seating capacity of 5,000, with future room to expand to 8,000. Atop the home-side grandstand will be a 4,500-square foot press box complete with various functions including a large film deck, coaches and scouting booths, radio and announcement booths, and even a large open multi-purpose area. The visitor side of the stadium will have a total grandstand seating capacity of 3,000, bringing the stadium total to 8,000. Down at the concourse level, amenities will include two sets of restrooms and concession stands at each end to accommodate the capacity of events. Additional alternate storage for event and field equipment will be located underneath the home side grandstands.
At the north end zone, a half-time facility will close off the stadium. This building will not only provide home and visitor team locker rooms for half time adjustments, but also will provide a central training room and officials' locker room. A synthetic turf field with SMHS logo designs will complete the new multi-purpose athletic stadium. The turf field will be appropriate size for both competition football and soccer.
The new stadium project will also include extensive parking to accommodate the large crowds and an open grandstand entry plaza that will connect the stadium to the rest of the existing high school athletic complex.
2014 marks the tenth year the San Marcos Education Foundation has recognized outstanding SMHS graduates. Listed below are the previous honorees.

Back to Basics
No amount of foundation or concealer will ever be better than having great skin underneath. To get this dewy, healthy look (seen above on the beauitful Daria Werbowy), it's important to moisturize. In their 2012 Best of Beauty Awards, Allure Magazine recommends Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30, Olay Professional Pro-X Clear UV Moisturizer SPF 15, and Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion. The good news? You can score any of these on eBay.

This Great Cake Contest entry was submitted by StaceyannJ from Aurora, Colorado: An edible Game Board Cake
Bake three circle cakes: 2 large and 1 smaller circle. Let cool. Cut the domes off the tops of the cakes, making sure each circle is the same height. Cover a board with foil and place the circle cakes (cut side face down) on the board with the smaller circle in between the larger circles. The cakes should be touching each other.
Frost the edges of the circles in white. Frost the top of the circles in red. Roll out yellow fondant and cut into squares (optional, cut yellow fruit roll-ups into squares to place on top of the "game board") Use edible ink markers to draw pictures on the squares. Mold grey colored fondant into game pieces (the sorting hat, the snitch, Hedwig), the dice, etc. (OR if you have the game, just use your game pieces as decorations on the cake.
Using a decorator bag with appropriate colored frosting, add other game board decorations (the logo "Harry Potter, Scene It?", Circles, Large arrow, The Snitch, and any other messages for the cake) Using your decorator bag, put a shell border on the top of the game board and a zig border at the base of the cake. Enjoy!

But with his sloping gut, fluffy beard and straw hat, he cut a striking visual. And eventually his O-R-I-O-L-E-S cheers, replete with dramatic contortions of his out-of-shape body, became the emotional fulcrum as crowds at Memorial urged the baseball team to improbable comebacks in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Many trace the birth of "Orioles Magic" to June 22, 1979, the day a Doug DeCinces home run gave the eventual pennant winners a come-from-behind victory over the Detroit Tigers. Mr. Hagy cheered that moment and many more.
"For a team that didn't draw very well, it was very refreshing to see someone who actually came out to the ballpark and generated interest," said Orioles Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer. "He loved the Orioles. And I'm all for people who are in that category."
"Of course, it was unbelievable," said longtime friend George "Skip" Dorer, who met him while working on a book about the 1979 Orioles. "That place rocked, and he was at the center of it."
Mr. Hagy became such a fixture that he was allowed to climb atop the Orioles' dugout to rally the crowd with his act. He was so popular that all he had to do was stand in his section to get the crowd roaring. For a generation of Orioles lovers, he was the quintessential fan.
"He'd say he was just going to get a beer or go to the bathroom," said Wayne Kaiser, his friend of almost 30 years and roommate, "but then, all of a sudden, you'd see him up on the dugout leading cheers."
He met Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, was written up in the New Yorker and signed more than his share of autographs.
"To those of us who were close to him, we were sort of enthralled to be around this famous guy," Mr. Kaiser said. "He never got a big head about it. But he enjoyed how the fans responded to him. He was a die-hard hometown guy, and he liked that he could get people excited about the team he loved."
The Orioles had planned to observe a moment of silence in his memory last night, but the game at Camden Yards was rained out.
"The Orioles organization is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of 'Wild Bill' Hagy," the club said in a statement. "While leading cheers from 'The Roar from 34' at Memorial Stadium, Wild Bill became a Baltimore institution. ... He will be missed by everyone who knew him and by everyone for whom he led the 'O-R-I-O-L-E-S' cheer. All of us in the Orioles organization extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends."
Former Orioles catcher Rick Dempsey would sometimes join Mr. Hagy on the dugout to lead cheers. If Mr. Dempsey thought the team needed a lift, he'd signal Mr. Hagy by waving a white towel from the bullpen. Wackiness usually ensued.
"I just remember how much control he had over the crowd," Mr. Dempsey said. "In an era when the Orioles were on fire, he turned the crowd on fire. He was a huge part of the Orioles Magic era."
Mr. Hagy was born on Sparrows Point and attended Sparrows Point High School.
He began attending Orioles games with his father during the team's first season in 1954.
"Brooks and Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Rick Dempsey, he loved them all as long as they were loyal to the Orioles," Mr. Kaiser said.
As a young man, Mr. Hagy drove an ambulance and then a Good Humor ice cream truck. But for most of his professional life, he drove a taxi for Jimmy's, County and North Point cab companies. He retired in January 2004.
"He enjoyed being his own boss," Mr. Kaiser said. "He could work as little or as much as he wanted."

How Cold Is Too Cold? How Hot Is Too Hot? (Computer Hardware)
General rule of thumb for all PCs: The colder it is, the better it runs. Some jokingly say that a computer runs best with a "frosty dew" on it. The reason that's a joke is because condensation in any form that's physically on the motherboard (aside from cooler units) is obviously bad, because water and electricity don't mix.
General rule of thumb for computer monitors (all types): Operates best at room temperature (72 F/22.2 C) while not in direct sunlight.
General rule of thumb for laptops (all types): Typically you will find at least one "spot" on a laptop that's warmer than the rest of the unit after it's been running for a while. It differs in location dependent on model, and the spot that gets hottest is usually where the processor is. Your best defense against laptop overheating is to ensure the fan is clean. Spraying dust removal spray lightly on the fan while the laptop is OFF (obviously) is usually the only way to clean it. If the vent slots are thick enough you can also use a cotton swab (laptop has to be off for that also).
How to deal with extreme temperature situations
Cold (computer): If any computer is in a very cold environment and has developed a frost on it, wipe what you can off the case, DO NOT turn the unit on and let it sit for a good 20 or 30 minutes to let the case adjust to room temperature before powering it on.
Cold (laptop): If a laptop is cold enough, the keyboard may start to curl (literally) at the corners and the touchpad won't work at all because the sensor just won't operate at that temperature. You need to let the unit warm up to room temperature first in the off state before powering up, else you risk damaging components. In addition you may notice it's difficult to open due to the cold "flexing" the hinges. If when you start to open the laptop lid you hear cracking/rubbing noises, STOP. Close the lid and wait for the hinges to "flex back" before opening again.
Cold (CRT monitor): Unless there's frost on it, a CRT can usually be powered up even in the coldest of temperatures. The screen will show a very dim picture until the tube warms up.
Cold (LCD monitor): LCD monitors are usually very forgiving when it comes to cold. However with frost on it you should let it adjust to room temperature first before powering it on to avoid condensation damage. You will also notice a dim picture on startup because the backlight bulbs haven't quite warmed up just yet.
Heat (computer): In an extreme heat situation you can open the case to "air it out" first for about 10 minutes, then close the case up and start the computer. IMPORTANT NOTE: Running a case open does not cool it better because the air flow from the fans is wrecked at that point. You need that case closed so the air gets to where it needs to be. If the computer still runs too hot, you need better fans and/or a case that has better air flow and/or the addition of a cooling system.
Heat (laptop): Same situation as a desktop PC. Open the lid, let it sit and adjust to room temperature first before turning it on. You will know it's ready to turn on if you touch the LCD screen and it doesn't feel hot to the hand. Otherwise, wait until it cools off. It will usually cool off quickly.
Heat (CRT monitor): Ordinarily there is no danger in starting a CRT monitor even if it's been "cooked" a bit from extreme heat. However if the enclosure holding the tube feels hot, you should wait until it cools down first before turning it on.
Heat (LCD monitor): LCD screens will run even in the most extreme heat because they don't produce that much heat to begin with. What to watch out for is the warping of the screen enclosure. But this is rare and basically never happens unless the environment is so hot that is starts to warp molded plastic.
I'll put it to you this way: If you're in an environment hot enough to warp plastic, you shouldn't even be there let alone a computer.
"Warning Level" temperatures:
Ambient temperature below 35 F/1.7 C: Generally speaking it's too cold to operate at this point. You're dangerously close to freezing and that's when the physical properties of computer hardware change by flexing (usually). Not a good idea to operate a computer below this mark.
Ambient temperature above 90 F / 32.2 C: It would be rare to operate in this temperature because you'd be sweating profusely just sitting there, but some do. Your monitors and peripherals will run fine but the computer starts acting like an oven. Any air going thru there is also warm (or possibly hot) which at that point doesn't help very much to cool it down.
Final notes
There will be those that vehemently disagree with me as to what's too hot/cold for computer operating temperatures because I haven't taken into account other factors such as altitude and humidity. And yes I know those both count in a big way. If you want to add commentary specifically concentrating on altitude/humidity, be my guest.
Temperature is very easy to dismiss because most of us don't think about it when it comes to computers. We just assume it doesn't matter when it fact it does. As long as you know when and when not to operate a computer based on temperature, you should be a-okay.
Also, bear in mind all computer hardware and laptops have specifications that state minimum and maximum operating temperatures – and they're usually 100% accurate.

how hot should the inside of the computer be? my case LCD temp display, any temp it should be below?
Guruboy March 10th, 2008 at 9:00 am
As long as the air coming out of an idle computer is just barely warmer than ambient, you should be fine. It's the CPU and HDD temps you should be paying attention to. Download CPU Fan to check those.
I diagree with one part of this article. Running a computer with the case open definitely improves temperatures across the board. A lot of overclockers do this. Most heatsink+fan options have the fan blowing into the CPU. With a closed case, outside air HAS to come from an intake fan, side or front. With an open case, outside air is ambient.
It's worth mentioning that after some particularly extreme computing – maybe gaming or compressing a particularly large file – one can prolong hardware life by having the computer idle for a while so that the CPU gets down to its idle temperature. There are fan controllers out there that have the fans run for a few minutes after the computer had been shut down…same thing, just slightly more effective and more expensive (thought the electricity bill savings might make up for that).
Guruboy March 10th, 2008 at 9:01 am
I have no idea why I said "CPU Fan". It's called "Speedfan". Oops.
Gustavo Fco. April 6th, 2009 at 12:39 am
Than you very much for your information, since I live in a rather hot place I wanted to know when to turn the air condition on in order not to have trouble with my PC.
Anyway thanks again for your kind info.
Frostbyte June 16th, 2009 at 6:05 am
Working in ALL aspects of data processing since 1972 you can imagine that I've heard the 'how hot is too hot' question a few times. The best answer I've been able to come up with is the following little axiom, with one qualification: Given that the cooling system in use is functioning properly for the design of the computer and location, if it's comfortable for you, it's comfortable for the computer. One more thing, being in Alaska, we have to watch for saturated cold. Sometimes, even an hour at room temperature is not safe. Once when a notebook had been 'saturated' at about 20 below, I waited till it felt to be about room temp. The drive would not spin up. A screwdriver and an I/R probe later, the drive was still about minus 5 degrees. And this after more than 30 minutes. Did you know it gets over 100 degrees in Fairbanks in the summer?
AC June 24th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
My air conditioner is broken. The room my computer is in is about 95 degrees F, and will likely stay that way for a few days. Will my computer be okay if it's turned off? It's burning hot to the touch when I open up the case…
ST August 20th, 2009 at 10:51 am
What if your computer is left in your car on hot days? Does the computer being in a black case make a difference for that also?
When I turn my computer on it says running file check for C: (or something of the sort), and never really goes anywhere no matter how long I wait.
I am wondering if the problems I am having with my computer are from leaving it in my car on very hot days?
Any help you can give me on the matter would be much appreciated. Thank you.

i have a pretty good computer (desktop) with a Phenom II x4 940 w/ the CPU fan that comes in the box… and my computer was running a 124F im not sure if this is bad or what but it is alot hotter then my old CPU. you dont have to
Madjordainian June 24th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
I have been running an old gateway 2000 system which is stored outside under an "out house" looking structure sitting on a deck since september of 2006. It is out there 24/7 364.25 days a year not powered up or even plugged in unless I am out there using it in my observatory. I have powered it up from a "cold" start in temperatures from 100 F to -10 F without any problems and proceded to have it run all through the night running my various camera, tracking, & star charting applications without a hitch. Yes there were a couple of times on a spring or fall evening when the humidity & dew points had caused some condensation in the monitor screen, but after a few minutes warm up of the screen it was gone with no ill effects.
This is an old system Duron 1Ghz 133 fsb, & RAM running on a winxp home OS with 4 80mm cooling fans 2 to each end of the case. Only the power supply was upgraded to a 350W from the stock 240W and of course an addition of 1.5 gig of RAM, (takes a little more power than 240W to run several USB cameras) Maybe it's just this box, but it seems a heck of a lot more durable than would be first expected, that's why such an old system……… It was a throw – away so no big loss if it didn't last long, but due to needing a little more speed with larger image files of some of my newer equipment this old war horse will be getting replaced this summer with the next generation of "obsolete" computer I have sitting around. An AthlonXP 2500 on a 333mhz FBS based system…….It too will be out there for the duration, we'll see how it holds up under the same conditions. Why not a more current notebook system, temperature thermocliens between coming in from outside almost always resulted in a frosted system when bring it back in from the cold, even leaving it running cetain parts were still cold enough to frost. Way too slow of a startup & screen warm up on those cold days if left out with the equipment.

What a difference a week makes. A couple of weeks ago the Montreal Canadiens had put together four straight wins. This past week has been an entirely different story.
The Canadiens began their week with a lackluster effort in a disappointing 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils. Last night, the Habs' performance reached a new low in a 3-0 shutout loss to Dallas.
Yes, Montreal is decimated with injuries but Dallas was also missing some important players. The Stars were without Jamie Benn, Brenden Morrow and Sheldon Souray. It was a game that featured former Habs Mike Ribeiro, Michael Ryder and Stephane Robidas. When all was said and done it was Ribeiro whose star shone the brightest.
Ribeiro, who was traded to Dallas over five years ago, continues to haunt the Habs. He scored early in the third to put the Stars up by two. In his first regular season game back at the Bell Centre, Ribeiro was named the first star. He celebrated by raising his arms to the crowd and taking a bow.
Canadiens coach Randy Cunneyworth said he didn't want to make any excuses, but mentioned that he had eight players under the weather. Several players, including Tomas Plekanec and Mathieu Darche, are battling the flu. The Habs took a collective sick day and did not practice on Wednesday. They will practice tomorrow and will charter to Washington shortly after.
Things don't look good in the Eastern Conference for the Habs. They sit 14th and are seven points out of the eighth and final playoff spot. With only 21 games remaining, time is becoming the Habs' worst enemy.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Despite a tearful apology on the "Today" Show the hits keep coming for Paula Deen and her use of racial slurs.
Caesars Entertainment announced on Wednesday that it would be removing Deen's name from restaurant on its properties.
The Food Network, Smithfield Foods and Wal-Mart has cut ties with Deen while QVC hangs in the balance.
Deen ran out of luck at Horseshoe Southern Indiana, her buffet restaurant now off the menu.
People had the following to say after Ceasers Entertainment's announcement.
"It's sad that it's come to this," Marsha Bohannon who visits Horseshoe Southern Indiana said.
"I think she's being outcast for something that isn't such a big deal," Michael Miller who sympathizes for Deen said.
Caesars Entertainment reached a mutual agreement not to renew their contract at four locations, including Horseshoe Southern Indiana.
"While we appreciate Paula's sincere apologies for statements she made in her past... in response to a lawsuit... it is in the best interests of both parties to part ways," Jan Jones Blackhurst, Executive Vice President of Communications and Government Affairs for Caesars Entertainment said.
A former worker claims Deen and her brother created a hostile environment at her Georgia restaurant.
Deen admitted to calling a black man the "n word" when she was robbed at gunpoint almost 30 years ago.
While planning her brother's wedding she said in a deposition:
"What I would really like is a bunch of little "n words" to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties... a true Southern wedding," Deen, according to court documents, said.
"I have apologized. I would never with any intention to hurt anybody on purpose and I never would," Deen said.
Horseshoe Southern Indiana wouldn't allow WHAS11 crews on property and had no comment.
Caesars will rebrand the restaurants but there is no indication when that will happen.

It's on to the Western Conference semi-finals for the Red Wings who took down the Coyotes 6-to-3 last night at Phoenix, giving Detroit a four game sweep in their first round Stanley Cup playoff series. Danny Cleary scored the go-ahead goal from an almost impossible angle with 6:19 remaining to break a three-three tie.
Cleary also had two assists and Patrick Eaves added two goals for the Red Wings, who also ousted Phoenix in seven games during the first round of the postseason last year. Todd Bertuzzi had a goal and an assist for Detroit, which got a goal apiece from Tomas Holmstrom and Niklas Kronwall and suffered no shortage of offense despite the absences of the injured Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen.
Jimmy Howard made 24 saves for the third-seeded Red Wings, who are the first team to advance in this year's playoffs. Detroit coach Mike Babcock says both Zetterberg and Franzen will be rested and ready to go for the second round, which will begin for the Red Wings sometime toward the end of next week.
Last night in the ECHL at Wings Stadium, Kalamazoo beat the Reading Royals 5-to-4 to go up 3-games to nothing in their Eastern Conference semi-finals series with Game Four coming up tomorrow night, again in Kalamazoo.

Well another professional athlete is in the news today when it comes to running into trouble with the law.
According to TMZ.com, Gilbert Arenas has been charged with transporting more than 100 pounds of dangerous fireworks. Yes you read that right, fireworks. What is going on with professional athletes these days? Seriously?
The incident occurred back in June after he was pulled over for speeding. The police found a trunk load of fireworks in his trunk after they searched his car. Arenas could be facing up to a year in jail and up to $10,000 in fines.
His next court appearance is scheduled to be next month, which will more than likely be overshadowed by Aaron Hernandez and his court date.
His six year, $111 million deal from 2008 is pretty much a distant memory for the rest of us and how his NBA career could very well be in jeopardy.
I mean knowing his history you would think it would be firearms but, fireworks? There needs to be a study on the brains of professional athletes to see what goes on in their heads. It's like they think they are untouchable because they have all this money and became a house hold name.
Sorry, sometimes the world just doesn't work like that. All Gilbert Arenas has to blame for this, is himself.
Just like every other athlete who continues to put themselves in stupid situations.

They may have eloped in Mexico and had a lavish Hollywood ceremony in front of "The Hills" cameras, but Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have finally said "I do" for their first "real" wedding, and ETonline Senior Editor Nicole Dabeau was exclusively there for their romantic nuptials.
Reality TV's most polarizing couple renewed their vows just before sunset late Sunday afternoon at a beachfront house in Carpinteria, Calif.
"[This time] it's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else, and it's just about her," Spencer says. "Versus last time, it was about everything else: It was about drama; it was about ratings."
Heidi adds, "It was about everyone but us, so this is really our first wedding about Spencer and I and our love. Now I feel like I can finally just be Heidi and just be in a marriage and just be a person. I'm just really enjoying every day."
The couple, who have gone public about being broke, had their dream wedding donated to them. Everything from Heidi's Jenny Yoo gown, which she picked out with the help of wedding stylist Anya Sarre, to Spencer's Rik Ducar tuxedo, to their four-tier, multiflavored cake decorated with white chocolate seashells from Hansen's Cakes, and rings from Alan Friedman. They received a 50 percent discount on their flowers from Sky Flowers.
For more on Heidi and Spencer's nuptials, keep checking back to ETonline as we roll out more wedding videos throughout the week.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 04.27.2010
- Housing Price Indicators
Growth in the S&P/Case-Shiller 10-city Home Price Index slowed in February, inching up just 0.1 percent after a 0.4 percent increase in January. Meanwhile, the 20-city index pulled back a slight 0.1 percent, breaking the solid streak of gains that started in June 2009. While the February data represent a mild cool-down in progress made over the past eight months or so, the numbers are not so drab as to dampen the indexes' year-over-year growth. Growth in the 10-city index since last February came in at 1.4 percent and growth in the 20-city index was 0.6 percent, both positive for the first time since December 2006 and up from troughs of nearly −20 percent a little over a year ago.
The picture from the perspective of FHFA Purchase-Only House Price Index has looked quite different from that of the S&P/Case-Shiller index in recent months. The FHFA index retreated a slight 0.2 percent in February, tacking on the smallest of three consecutive declines. Year-over-year growth, which had a brief positive stint last November, dipped further to −3.4 percent in February. Of all nine U.S. regions tracked by the FHFA, only the West South Central (Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana) and Pacific (Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California) regions have seen home prices grow over the last year.

Acord v. Boone County KY Child Support Agency et al - Document 5
Court Description:
ORDER DISMISSING CASE With Prejudice;Application to proceed IFP Moot. Motion terminated: 1 MOTION for Emergency Relief/Injunction filed by Richard Acord. Signed by District Judge Victoria A. Roberts. (CPin)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION Richard Acord, Plaintiff, CASE NUMBER: 13-13750 HONORABLE VICTORIA A. ROBERTS v. Boone County Kentucky Attorney, et al., Defendants. / ORDER On September 3, 2013, Richard Acord filed a pro se Complaint against the Boone County Kentucky: (1) Attorney, (2) Child Support Agency, and (3) Family Court, as well as his ex-wife, Shermane Janning. The Complaint alleges that Janning is not entitled to child support payments. Acord asks this Court to order the Boone County Family Court to: (1) dismiss Janning's action for modification of child support and (2) bar Janning and the Boone County Attorney from filing motions for child support. Additionally, Acord asks the Court to order the Boone County Child Support Agency to reimburse him $44,000 for child support payments. Acord alleges no basis for federal court jurisdiction; he does not allege the violation of any federal right or federal statute. Further, federal courts have declined to accept jurisdiction in parent-child, domestic relations or custody disputes, subject to state law. See Ankenbrandt v. Richards, 504 U.S. 689, 703 (1992) (concluding "that the domestic relations exception . . . divests the federal courts of power to issue divorce, alimony, or child custody decrees"). Finally, according to the Rooker/Feldman doctrine, federal district courts do not have jurisdiction to review state court judgments; that review rests only with the Supreme Court. Gottfried v. Medical Planning Servs., 142 F.3d 326, 330 (6th Cir. 1998)("[L]ower federal courts do not have jurisdiction to review a case litigated and decided in state court; only the United States Supreme Court has jurisdiction to correct state court judgments."). Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE this action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Additionally, Acord requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis. But, because this action is dismissed, Acord's request to proceed in forma pauperis is MOOT. IT IS ORDERED. S/Victoria A. Roberts Victoria A. Roberts United States District Judge Dated: September 5, 2013 The undersigned certifies that a copy of this document was served on the attorneys of record and Richard Acord by electronic means or U.S. Mail on September 5, 2013. S/Linda Vertriest Deputy Clerk

It's a tumultuous period for big-time college athletics. The conferences that have long defined Division 1 sports are under siege, some being re-constituted by the month. The highbrow SEC, Pac-12, Big Ten and ACC have been busy annexing schools outside their traditional geographies, fueled by the bonanza of cable TV payouts. And the Big East, just a few years ago the most powerful basketball conference, is now all but gone, functioning as little more than a spare parts store for the big dogs.

"I was desperate when I made Raiders Of The Lost Ark," says Steven Spielberg in a filmed introduction to the newly restored, remastered Raiders DVD. "I was coming off a movie that went wildly over budget and schedule – 1941. Close Encounters went wildly over budget and schedule. And Jaws, of course, went 100 days over schedule and was almost two-and-a-half times its original budget. I really was ready to turn over a new leaf. Raiders was my chance to prove to myself that I could make a movie under schedule and under budget. I was trying to make a movie that was fiscally responsible."
Perhaps even more than that, after the trials and tribulations involved in the making of all three of those films, plus the critical mauling he'd only recently received for 1941, Spielberg just wanted to have a bit of fun again behind the camera. Raiders gave him that and more; not only the chance to work with his long-time pal George Lucas, but to direct a film that had the globetrotting of a Bond movie mixed with the breathless action and adventure of the very same Republic Pictures-produced Saturday matinée serials that had previously been such an influence on Lucas' own Star Wars.
In the end, Spielberg's desperate desire to prove himself and atone for his monetary sins brought Raiders in under schedule and budget, but the film's legacy – along with Spielberg's – can't be counted solely in financial terms (even though it did end up as the top-grossing film of 1981). Along with Duel, Raiders remains the director's leanest movie – two hours of pure, delirious, non-CGI-enhanced escapism. More so than Jaws, more so even than Jurassic Park, it still stands as Spielberg's most rip-roaringly perfect popcorn movie, in a career dominated by damn-near-perfect popcorn movies.
Even though it was set in 1935 – one year prior to Raiders – second entry Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom was more sequel than prequel, carrying over a number of sequences (including the mine cart chase) penned for Raiders but scrapped for budgetary reasons. The movie also marked Spielberg's first attempt at a franchise (he'd turned down Jaws 2) and, at the insistence of Lucas (following the Empire Strikes Back blueprint), was conceived as a much darker, edgier, tougher film. "I wasn't OK with it," says Spielberg on the movie's introduction, "but George was tenacious."
As it turned out, Spielberg's instincts were on the money. Temple Of Doom was the least commercially successful of the trilogy and received the worst reviews. The public outcry over its inclusion of a gruesome heart-ripping scene even led to the introduction of a new category – PG-13 – in the US. Even more of a rollercoaster ride than Raiders (the standout mine cart sequence is exactly that), Doom featured yet another series of neverending virtuoso stunts and set-pieces, although Kate Capshaw's screaming showgirl Willie Scott still feels like a comedown after Raiders' tough, spunky Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen).
By Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, the novelty was beginning to wane, with Lucas' idea of a Holy Grail-hunt feeling a tad familiar. But what continues to lift the film is Spielberg's typically energetic direction and the script's emphasis on character over action (although there's plenty of the latter) – most notably the father/son dynamic that forms the spine (and heart) of the film. Spielberg based Jones' estrangement from his dad on his own paternal relationship, then delivered a masterstroke: hiring the original Bond, Sean Connery, as Henry Jones Sr. Despite such casting genius, by the time Indy literally rode off into the sunset audiences genuinely felt this was the last we'd ever see of our Fedora-wearing friend. How wrong we were…
The trilogy made its DVD debut in 2003 in an impressive four-disc set that packaged all three films together plus a bonus spinner yielding three hours of docs. What initially makes the arrival of these Special Editions so goosebumpy is that, for the first time since VHS' heyday, each film's available to buy individually as well as collectively. But look closer and you might feel a twinge of disappointment…
For those who own the previous set, there's little here to justify double-dipping. There's still no commentary from the perennially chat-track-shy Spielberg – or even the more jabber-friendly Lucas. Gone from the boxset is the earlier bonus disc with its feature-length behind-the-scenes retrospective and four standalone featurettes. It's replaced by a handful of concise mini-docs that tick off the trilogy's locations, melting faces, creepy-crawlies and baddies, not to mention a round table chat with Indy's ladies: Allen, Capshaw and Last Crusade's Alison Doody.
OK, so it's a nice nugget that Indy IV co-star Ray Winstone cried at the end of Last Crusade, but it doesn't compare to a bruise-by-bruise breakdown of the still-staggering truck chase from Raiders (see the 'Stunts' extra on the previous boxset). With Crystal Skull around the corner, it's the perfect time to revisit the trilogy, which remains as entertaining and benchmark-setting as ever. (How about a featurette on all the (pale) imitations that have followed?) But we might have to wait till Kingdom come before we get a definitive boxset.
