First Security Bank on Cave Mill Road hosted their annual Shred Day this afternoon.
Land Shark Shredding was on site as many dropped off sensitive or unwanted documents to be securely shredded.
As part of E-Scrap they also took old TV's and electronics off of peoples hands and recycled them.
While shredding unwanted documents is a good way to keep your files organized it also protects personal information.
"It's very important to shred the sensitive material for identity theft purposes. You don't want anybody getting anything that they shouldn't have, and also it's just so it doesn't get in the wrong hands,"says Julie Emmitt, First Security Bank.
The Shred Day was aimed at giving back in more ways than one, they asked for donations throughout the day to benefit Crime Stoppers.
They plan on raising more than $700 to go towards the organization.

NA 2010: Forks with rollers eliminate pallets
March 01, 2010 - MMH Editorial
NA 2010, slated for April 26-29, will showcase more than 500 exhibits and include a comprehensive educational conference. The event, held at the I-X Center in Cleveland, will offer an array of products to help improve productivity at your company.
RollerForks lower handling costs by eliminating or reducing pallet use in favor of slipsheets, cartons, intermediate bulk containers and corrugated bundles. The forks feature two layers of rollers encased in cartridges. When the lift truck moves, the lower row of rollers (touching the floor) spins, causing top row of rollers to rotate in the opposite direction to slide under the pallet-less load without disturbing the products. Raising the forks causes the rollers to drop below the fork surface to securely rest the products on the blades for transport.

Unanswered: Using JSON Objects in Ext JS
Hi All,
I am involved in a project development using Java Script. The data will be available to me as JSON objects. I am looking at ExtJS , Smartclient as possible candidates. I should say I am leaning towards the Ext JS framework after working through few examples. I like the out of the box Web Desktop. I might be developing some thing like that. Can I have honest suggestion on whether it will be easier to use JSON objects as a data source for Ext JS?
Thanks in advance,

You can use an Ext.data.Store class using any proxy (most likely the Ext.data.proxy.Ajax) and on that proxy you should use the Ext.data.reader.Json to be able to parse that JSON to be able to display it in the grid.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

I love Dominion Prosperity, and understand all of the cards perfectly except for Peddler. Can anyone explain it to me? For some reason I just can't get it. Thanks!

Peddler is a market without the +Buy.
It would have been an unremarkable card if not for its unique price. The standard price is $8, which is the priciest action in the game, but you never really want to buy it at that cost. The below-the-line part reads:
This means that for every action you play in your turn, the price of Peddler goes down by $2 in the Buy phase, so if you played two Villages, for example, you can buy a Peddler for $4, which is a much more reasonable price for it.
Of course the more Actions you play in your turn the better it gets, and the more Buys you have the more free Peddlers you can get - if you play four or more actions, each additional buy is a free Peddler! Also note the phrasing
The icing on the cake is that fact that unlike Bridge, the price only goes down during the Buy phase, so you can Remodel a Peddler into a Province no matter how many actions you already played during your turn, since its price is always $8 during the Action phase.
As always, you can read more in this great Dominion Strategy guide.

1969 Road Runner Project, Part IIIWritten by on March 1, 2000 The Bird Gets Clipped
Our previous installment on the Holley Project Roadrunner covered the topic of media blasting. When it was all said and done, it was apparent that the investment of $4,300 in this B-Body was showing true signs of its bargain nature. However, just because rust had set into the front frame rails and other significant structural components doesn't mean the Roadrunner wasn't a worthy candidate for resurrection. In fact, with the skills available to the project--specifically those of Muscle Car Restorations of Eau Claire, Wisconsin--we knew that while the work seemed ominous, the craftsmanship available would step up to the task ahead.
After sandblasting the body at DeWayne Krumenauer and Randy Goettl's Progressive Stripping in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, we were down to the bare elements of the Roadrunner. What would lay ahead was in plain view--replacement of the front stub/front structural clip. John Balow noted, "Because the frame rails were very rusty and the torsion bar mounts were questionable, we felt the best method to ensure structural rigidity would be to remove the front stub. Other reasons to make this major repair would include if the car you are repairing had been in an accident and the frame rails were bent." But where do you find a complete, intact front stub that extends from the transmission crossmember forward? Balow turned to Neil Freeman for the replacement sheetmetal. Balow ordered the front third of a 1969 B-Body and the craftsmen at Muscle Car Restorations carefully removed the front stub from the donor car body.
As you know, alignment is critical with such a swap, and the front stub, when complete with the transmission crossmember, offers an excellent way to guarantee exact placement of the motor mounts, transmission crossmember, and other critical measurements. The question most would ask is, "Does this constitute a re-body?" In a manner of speaking, it does. However, if smaller areas were replaced, the splicing and welding would be far more apparent than the exposure of the front stub with replacement or original sheetmetal. "We don't want it apparent that the car has been reframed," said Balow. "What we do want is to reassemble the car with factory spot welds. It is not 100 percent undetectable, but it can be very close to perfect with a lot of tedious work." Of particular note with the Holley car were the torsion bar mounts. Rather than risk a torsion bar failure, as well as other structural issues, the replacement front stub grafting to the original unitbody was the only option John would consider.
Follow along as we demonstrate the work involved to make the repair.

Here is the replacement front stub acquired from Freeman Auto, removed from a salvaged front clip. Note that the entire front frame is intact from the transmission crossmember forward between each of the rocker panels. By keeping the transmission crossmember as part of the unit, we will have no problems with motor mount and transmission crossmember locations. All critical measurements are maintained by replacing the front stub in this manner.In this photo, it is apparent that John's crew at Muscle Car Restorations have ground down the spot welds to guarantee a flat surface for the frame box to mount to the unitbody. Note the corrosion-free torsion bar mounts.Jason Balow of Muscle Car Restorations sandblasts the front stub/clip acquired from Freeman Auto. Extra care is taken to remove all residue and to paint both inside and outside the frame rails....however, extra effort is made to coat the inside of each crossmember and the inside of the frame rails as best as can be accomplished with POR-15. This will aid in keeping corrosion at bay.Here is the Project Road Runner clearly missing the front stub. A Muscle Car Restorations craftsman makes final repairs to the inner passenger side rocker panel.This patch is a repair of the inner rocker that had rust. Note the attachment point for the transmission crossmember (arrow).A great deal of care guarantees that all mating points for the front stub will align and fit securely. Part of the installation process to the car body is to eliminate any burrs and create a flat surface to mount the front stub.
Once alignment is set to a desired position, a host of C-clamps and Vice Grips(TM) are used to secure the front stub to the unitbody. Both are sitting on the alignment table. All critical measurements are double checked to guarantee proper fitment.The spot-weld process has begun where the front stub has been attached to the unitbody--specifically between the inner fender and firewall.Where the front stub meets the rocker panels, John McDougall--a certified welder and expert metal fabricator at Muscle Car Restorations--is plug-welding the floor to the inner rocker panel, the transmission crossmember, and the front frame rail. Once this is accomplished all the welds are cleaned up.

LOTRO: One Year Later
Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar started life over six years ago as Middle-Earth Online. Since then the MMO world has seen the likes of City of Heroes, EVE Online and, of course, the mighty World of Warcraft. How much of a chance for success does a game based on the grandfather of high fantasy have in the same marketplace as EVE, EverQuest 2 and WoW? Well, it turns out that it has a very good chance, especially considering the giant gleaming pile of awards it has earned since its release last year. Are they well deserved? Is this the one MMO to rule them all? (Oh, now you knew that was coming!)
The Story Thus Far
I'll spare you a butchered version of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga. If you haven't read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy you owe it to yourself to run out and grab yourself a copy. At least go see the movies. I'll wait. Are you done yet? Excellent. So, the back story of the Lord of the Rings Online is that while the Fellowship is assembling and heading to Rivendell, there is a growing evil in Angmar which has greatly concerned Gandalf. If this evil is allowed to persist, the Fellowship will be destroyed before it even has a chance. Angmar was the kingdom of the Witch-King, the leader of Sauron's nine Nazgul. Long before the events in the Lord of the Rings, the Witch-King was banished from Angmar by a combined army of Elves and Men. Angmar fell to ruin but remained a stronghold of evil and someone has started rebuilding its armies to conquer the northern part of Middle-Earth. This is actually hinted at in the Appendices of the Lord of the Rings books which Turbine has rights to use as source material. The premise is that the reason Angmar was never an issue in the main Lord of the Rings story was because YOU took care of it.
Each of the four races in the game (Dwarf, Elf, Man and Hobbit) has their own introductory story which eventually weaves its way into the main storyline. For example, as a dwarf, your character actually gets to see Gandalf, Thorin and the other dwarves off as they head to the Shire to pick up their Burglar before assaulting Smaug at the Lonely Mountain. Dwarves and elves begin their careers, after time fast-forwards to the present, combating a group of traitorous dwarves who are under the influence of the Witch-King and rise to power after Thorin leaves. Hobbits begin their story shortly after the Nazgul raid the Shire looking for the Ring. They soon team up with the humans to work with a Ranger who is trying to defend one of their settlements from a band of brigands who are also under the influence of the Witch-King. Eventually all four races head to Bree to meet Strider (Aragorn).
The stories continue to evolve and converge through general questing but Turbine has also included epic quests, divided up into Books, which move their storyline forward. This is where the timeline might get a little confusing. Do the first Epic Book and you'll meet Strider at the Prancing Pony in Bree who is waiting for two Hobbits. Go to Rivendell and you'll see the entire fellowship waiting to set off for Mordor. However, if you follow the Epic Books in order, the transition is a lot smoother. You can also just not worry about the discrepancy and that works just fine, too.
There are seven character classes in LoTRO to choose from: Burglar, Captain, Champion, Guardian, Hunter, Loremaster and Minstrel. Some races are limited to a smaller selection of classes. For example, it wouldn't do to have an Elf Burglar and a Dwarf Burglar would just be too noisy. Each of the seven classes have their own roles but many share functionality with other classes, though they play completely differently. The Minstrel is the main healer but the Captain and Loremaster have some weaker healing abilities. The Guardian is the main tank but Champions, Captains and even Burglars can fill the role in a pinch. Magic in Middle-Earth is reserved for Wizards and there are only a handful in existence so the Loremaster is the next best thing. They hurl flaming acorns, command the power of nature and talk with animals. Hunters are good for tracking targets, are absolutely deadly with a bow and can travel around Middle-Earth in the blink of an eye. Burglars use their stealth to get to places undetected by the enemy and can initiate powerful group attacks. You'll quickly find that five character slots just aren't enough.
Deeds, Traits and Virtues
In each area of the game there are a certain set of monsters to kill, places to explore and goals to achieve that will earn you rewards in the form of titles and virtues (such as Determination, Loyalty, Honesty, and Idealism). Each character can equip up to five of these virtues that give you buffs to some of your characters attributes. The virtues come in levels so they can become more and more powerful as your game progresses. Some virtues are more useful to certain classes than others. Some of the better virtues require you to kill a massive amount of monsters in order to complete the deed.
Your character will also unlock racial and class-specific traits to equip. Again, five is the maximum you can have equipped at one time, except for legendary traits which has a maximum of two. These traits can be unlocked by killing monsters, through quests, and by collecting pages to skill books (in the case of the legendary traits). Both the trait and virtue system give each character some customizability as you can have a room full of the same class and none of them will agree on the best build.
The crafting system in LoTRO is more complex than WoW and simpler than EQ2. There are nine crafting professions: Cook, Farmer, Forrester, Metalsmith, Prospector, Scholar, Tailor, Woodworker, and Weaponsmith. They are divided into vocations which are comprised of three professions. For example, the Explorer vocation is made up of Forrester, Prospector and Tailor. Each character can choose one vocation which promotes cooperation and trade...or alts. There are hundreds of items to craft ranging from furniture to weapons to bowls of porridge for the Loremaster's pet. At higher levels, the crafted weapons, armor and jewelery are relatively good in comparason to quest rewards, especially if a critical success occurs resulting in a much improved item. Quest rewards still have the edge, though. There will be much more to say about crafting once it evolves in the Mines of Moria expansion.
There are two levels of houses available to players, simple and deluxe. Deluxe houses are bigger but cost more to purchase and maintain. Kinships can also purchase a hall for a large sum of gold. Houses are found in instanced neighborhoods in four racial-specific areas. Each neighborhood is made up of a specific number of simple, deluxe and kinship houses. They look and feel very much like neighborhoods. The dwarf housing is located in a large cavern that is appropriately dark and atmospheric. The Hobbit neighborhood, in contrast, is open and picturesque with a pond and streams running through it. Each character gets two skills to take them directly to their personal house and kinship house once an hour. There is only one house per account allowed at this time, kinship house not included. Your house is a great place to show off trophies and other rewards and Turbine is adding more and more goodies as the game goes on.
LoTRO's take on PvP is a little different than you've probably encountered before. Turbine wanted PvP to be accessible but not forced on the player so they created Monster Play. As soon as any character on your account reaches level 10 the ability to create a playable monster is unlocked. Monsters characters (Creeps) inhabit an area of the game called the Ettinmoors which is only accessible by player characters (Freeps, for "Free Peoples") after they reach level 40. The monster classes available are Blackarrow Orcs (archers), Orc Reavers (tank), Uruk-Hai Warleaders (healers, buffers), Warg Stalkers (stealth), and Spider Weavers (crowd control) and the new Orc Defiler (healing). You can have one of each class and they are persistant from session to session. Creeps start out automatically at level 50 and don't have any equipment per se. They have a series of upgradable skills and traits that can be assigned to make them more powerful.
In contention is a series of keeps that can be captured by either side. The side that controls the majority of keeps gains access to a new area of the Ettinmoors called the Delving of Fror. The Delving contains powerful enemies (to both sides) and some very attractive rewards. What happens if you lose your keeps while you are inside the Delving of Fror? You better watch your back because the other side is about to come pouring in behind you. But fear not, the penalty for dying in PvP is very minor. You are sent back to the closest rez circle but don't incur the normal penalties of wear and tear that you would when fighting NPCs. PvMP is so attractive that many players never venture outside the Ettinmoors when they can help it.
Another aspect of PvMP is the ability to shelf your character for a short time and play as either a Troll or a Ranger. These two characters are VERY powerful and, because of that, they are limited to two trolls/rangers on the map if your side is losing and one if your side is winning. It is very intimidating as a Freep to see a troll lumbering towards you, club swinging, knocking over your allies like bowling pins. Rangers have the advantage of stealth and can pick off Creeps one at a time with relative ease. Many complaints about PvMP stem from balancing these two powerful entities.
The bulk of the complaints about PvMP are about balance in general. At the beginning, the philosophy was that Creeps will never be as powerful as Freeps in a 1-on-1 fight. As the game went on, they've abandoned that tenet to some degree and as a result there is a percieved imbalance that favors the Creeps. It all depends on who you talk to though. The Creeps control the map most of the time when I check out the Ettinmoors and when the Freeps take over its never for very long. Much of it could be owed to the fact that we have a VERY organized core of Creeps on Elendilmir, the server that US/Oceanic TOG plays on. Either way, I usually have fun when I join in.
I can almost sense all of the WoW players cringing as they read that but raiding in LoTRO is fun. Yes it can be long but the beauty of it is that its completely optional and there are checkpoints that save your progress so you can call it a night and start fresh the next day. You can get similar rewards from PvMP in the Delving of Fror so you are not compelled to raid if that's not your thing. You can craft some really nice items, too. Not as good as the rewards from raiding or PvMP but if you don't want to do either of those then you really don't need that uber set of armor, do you? There are two major raids in LoTRO at the moment. The first is an area called Helegrod in the Misty Mountains, requiring a full 24 person group. The second is a place called The Rift, which only requires half that. There are also a number of 6-person "end-game" instances which can sometimes last so long that you feel that you might as well have been raiding. Each area has an intriguing story line and the bosses are challenging which keeps you motivated...even after your 10th run.
Middle-Earth Turns One-ish
Starting a few months after LoTRO went live, Turbine released its first free content update. The first update consisted of a major new play area and a continuation of the Epic story. Future updates were released at the rate of about once a quarter. Turbine gave us new zones, new armor sets, updates to character classes, and chickens. Yes, I said chickens! After doing some basic quests in the Shire, players have the opportunity to actually run around as a chicken and do quests while evading pretty much everything in the world. Much like the PvMP element of the game evolved from giving the developers some freedom to invent, Chicken Play has become the basis for playable trolls and rangers in the Ettinmoors, some unique missions in the Epic quest line, as well as other surprises we will see in the near future.
The most recent content update has just been released and it contains yet more new gameplay elements. Turbine has hinted through Town Criers in the major cities that the main baddie from the Shadows of Angmar portion of the game will be sending out random attacks against the towns in a last-ditch effort to seize control of the region. They've also introduce daily repeatable quests which asks players to collect and turn in relics and will have some bearing on what players will experience on each server leading up to the expansion this fall. Turbine has been very mysterious about this.
Tubine has added seasonal festivals which offer fun and prizes. For example, you can join the Inn League and go on a pub crawl that has you travelling to each of the taverns in the Shire to drink ale and return to Bag End before time runs out. The drunk effects in the game are very dramatic so by the end your screen will be fuzzy and the landscape will pitch and yaw making it difficult to run in a straight line. The Spring Festival had a quest earlier this year that asked you to drink then run on top of a crooked fence and reach the other side in a very short time period. The reward was a keg for your house that, after partaking of it, you pass out and awaken in one of a number of random locations in the game world. Its not all about the ale though...there are dance competitions, horse races and other fun events.
"The board is set, the pieces are moving"
The first paid expansion will be the Mines of Moria and it will be arriving this fall. Here's what we know so far:
* Three new regions: Eregion, Moria, and Lothlorien
* Level cap increase to 60
* Legendary weapons which can be enchanted and will generate quests to make them even more powerful
* New classes: Warden and Runekeeper
* A brand new epic story arc
Eregion is doorstep to Moria and it also contains the legendary Ring Forges where the rings that the elves, dwarves and human-turned-Ringwraiths wear were forged. Moria will be a very large area contained entirely underground. Since we're usually one step behind the story, the Balrog has been defeated and it has created a vacuum of power with the forces of good and evil struggling to retake the valuable real estate. Lothlorien is, of course, the elf stronghold where Galadriel lives.
The level cap will be increasing by 10 and we will supposedly be seeing new skills, and possibly traits, to compensate. Also, monster player levels will be unlocked up to 60 as well. Since monster players begin the game at the level cap, there will be a whole new experience dynamic added to get them to the new ceiling. Turbine has also hinted at some big changes coming to the Ettinmoors to enhance the PvMP portion of the game.
One of the coolest-sounding features is the addition of Legendary Weapons. Players will be able to wield weapons similar to Sting and Narsil from the novels which have a history and a…presence… They will be able to be slotted in order to enhance their power. Turbine has also said that they will act as quest hubs and you will be able to run quests that affect the weapon somehow.
We will be receiving two new character classes when the Mines of Moria goes live. The Warden is supposed to be patterned after the elves that live in Lothlorien and guard its borders. They will be an agility-based fighter with the ability to chain skills together for greater effect. The Runekeeper is a bit of an enigma. Tolkien has left magic in the hands of evil sorcerers and beings that live beyond the mortal plain. However, Turbine has hinted that the Runekeeper will be a type of magic user so it will be interesting to see how that gets justified in the lore. The Runekeeper's focus will be on secondary healing and magic that causes stackable damage over time effects.
Finally, there will be an all new epic story arc focusing, presumably, around the Mines of Moria. That's just a guess on my part but it should be a semi-educated one considering the name of the expansion. There were a host of other tweaks and enhancements announced with the expansion, including a final free content update to wrap up the Shadows of Angmar story that will drop simultaneously with the expansion's release.
Lord of the Rings Online is, by far, my favorite game to date. I say that having played countless other "classic" titles out there. It has so much to offer for every kind of player. However, I do have to say that if you are a hardcore Tolkien lore fan you will have a tough time playing if you can't see past some of the changes that had to be made in order to make the game fun. Also, if you have no interest in Tolkien lore then there might not be enough there to distinguish this game from other high-fantasy settings. I fall under neither of those categories which is why I am a lifetime subscriber and will be there long after I turn in the quest to drop that Ring into the volcano.

" Also, if you have no interest in Tolkien lore then there might not be enough there to distinguish this game from other high-fantasy settings"
What a wonderful description of LOTRO. This is my first MMO and I love it. I've become addicted to the game, the epic story and the characters. Visually it's stunning, but even more important to me is the ability to form friendships as I seek to protect Angmar from the evil that exists.
As to the quote above from your narrative: I had never read the Lord of the Rings, and had only seen the first movie. However, after playing the game for four months, I went to the library and read all 1100 pages of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Now I'm on to the Hobbit and Simarrillon. So, the game has inspired me to read the books.
nice article..thanks for sharing it to us.. I've watch the lord of the rings many years ago.. I've find it interesting.. indonesia holiday villas

What's better, a game with thousands of complete strangers, or one in which up to 100 of your closest friends can play together whenever they want at their own pace? Commenter IncrediBurch makes a compelling argument for the latter in today's massively multiplayer edition of Speak Up on Kotaku.
I think MMO's try too hard at the very thing they stand for. The Massively Multiplayer portion seems to get exaggerated in a way that isn't really conducive to what players really want.
I can see how in MMORPGs the many players inside the world helps make the game feel alive. It even becomes its own kind of social network.
However, I'd like to see more MMO's become less massive. Instead of MMO's that allow in hundreds of players at once, how about modes that just allow people to have as many of their friends they'd like into the game?
My friend circle is roughly 12 people large who are in-sync on gaming tastes. Most commonly, we get 5-7 people together for one session. There are very few games that let more than four people play at once in one mode.
Sometimes we even have to settle for playing against each other rather than all playing cooperatively. I'd like to have some more games where we can do 7 people cooperatively, or form a 7 person team to go on and fight another team the same size or not.
It's not so much an issue with games that have versus, as free-for-all often supports up to eight player. However, we could use some bigger cooperative player support. I'm not asking for thousands, or even 50 people at once. 20 is fine for me, and I believe that would be fine for a lot of other people too.

Tropical Depression Four Discussion Number 2
Nws National Hurricane Center Miami Fl
1100 Pm Ast Sat Aug 23 2014
Satellite Imagery Indicates That Tropical Depression Four Has Changed Little In Organization During The Past Several Hours.
While The Convection Remains Somewhat Ragged, A Persistent Area Of Stronger Convection Has Formed Near The Center. Data From Noaa And Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Indicate That Maximum Sustained Winds Are Near 30 Kt, Which Is In Agreement With The Satellite Intensity Estimate From Tafb. The Cirrus Outflow Is Good Over The Eastern Semicircle And Poor Elsewhere.
The Initial Motion Is A Somewhat Uncertain 320/8. The Cyclone Should Continue Moving Northwestward And North-Northwestward Into A Developing Break In The Subtropical Ridge Cause By A Mid- To Upper- Level Trough Off Of The U.S. East Coast.
As The Trough Begins To Lift Out And Steering Currents Weaken, A Slow Motion Is Expected In 36 To 48 Hours.
The Track Guidance Becomes Very Divergent At That Time.
The Ukmet And The Navgem Models Build Enough Ridging North Of The Cyclone To Steer It Across Florida And Into The Gulf Of Mexico. The Canadian Model Currently Forecasts A Quick Right Turn With The Cyclone Moving Well Out To Sea. The Ecmwf And The Gfs Keep A Stronger Ridge East Of The Cyclone And Thus Forecast A More Northward Motion East Of The Southeastern United States, Followed By A Northeastward Turn. However, The Gfs Does Show A Westward Wobble Just North Of The Bahamas Before The Turn.
The New Forecast Track Is Nudged A Little To The East Of The Previous Track, And It Lies A Little To The Left Of The Tvca Consensus And The Center Of The Guidance Envelope. As Mentioned In The Previous Discussion, The Confidence In The Track Forecast Is Lower Than Normal.
The Large-Scale Models Suggest That The Cyclone Should Experience Light To Moderate Westerly Or Northwesterly Vertical Wind Shear Throughout The Forecast Period.
The Intensity Guidance Forecasts Less Strengthening Than Earlier, Which Necessitates Some Downward Adjustment Of The New Intensity Forecast. Even With This Change, The New Forecast Is On The Upper Edge Of The Intensity Guidance. Overall, The Forecast Is Close To The Ivcn Intensity Consensus.
Forecast Positions And Max Winds
Init 24/0300z 22.3n 72.6w 30 Kt 35 Mph

A decent deal, but unfortunately no sizing past F (DDD) which makes it a no go for anyone full figured that has been sized by a pro (ie not at Victoria's Secret) since most women's cup and band size are drastically different than what they assume.
best bra sale of the year, I only buy from LB :) thanks for the stacking coupon codes!
Totally suckered in to this deal!! A real money saver! Thank you!!
I just did the math on my purchase, saved almost $150 after only paying like $70, works out to ~68% discount, suuuuper sweet!
thekatt - my fiancé and I almost glanced over this because of the lack of H sizing...
But there's more than one bra on sale ;)
The same promo codes worked on the Smooth Satin Full Coverage and the Modern Fit Smooth Balconette as well. Mix and match. So we're picking up four of those for a total of $58.
ALL the bras on the site, including cup sizes F-H (I wear an F, which is the cup size above DDD in Lane Bryant's sizing system) are included in the sale and work with the promo codes. I bought two of the Smooth Balconette and two of the Passion Lace Balconette for $63 after the 30% off and free shipping; without sale and codes, they would have been $176.
I bought 4 different soft cups, satin and lace ones, different colors for $51.46. I would have been charged $136 plus tax had they been purchased normally. I then went over to Fashion Bug and bought 12 pairs of panties for just under $9, they have a bunch on sale. Mine were only $1.98 and then it was buy 3 get 3 free, and then searched all over for a 20% off code I could use with the order AND site to store for FREE shipping!!
In for 4!! AWESOME deal! I wouldn't normally order bras online, but I couldn't resist lol. Fingers crossed
I got suckered! Just bought 4 more. Couldn't not do it.

Excellent deal! 4 for $50 shipped. Thanks for posting.
zoom feature on the site: me gusta!
@lisabeth9685: Lane Bryant will let you exchange in store if they do not work out for you. :)
Daddy Likes.....
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for posting this. I just had my wire snap about an hour ago and was saying to my husband "I NEED NEW BRAS!" Now I bought 4 for less than $35.00!
@lisabeth9685: also if it turns out they don't fit, when you do go to a store to exchange, they can do a free fitting so you know what size you should get in their bras. I try to get fitted every year just to make sure i'm not hurting myself with wrong sized bras.
This is a great deal. I needed new bras and was hoping to get a Lane Bryant gift certificate for Xmas like I did last year, but I didn't, so this deal, plus the discount, plus the free shipping is a gold mine
AWESOME DEAL! What would have cost $288 plus shipping was just barely over $100! Best bras I have ever found. Bought 4, got 4. SCORE!
Great deal!!! Lovin it! I have there bras and have gone to Soma and Dillards above all Lane Bryant are my FAVE!!! Excellent deal 4 bras for 56.00!
Just bought 4 bras. Total cost before discounts $156, after discounts, tax and shipping, $64.
Damn, I wish they weren't just plus sized. It's tough wearing a 34DD sometimes. I know that technically the 36D should fit, but it just doesn't. Guess I'll have to hit up VS's Semi Annual.
All right ladies, quick question since I've never shopped LB before - Are there any without hooks in the back? I have problems with my back and it''s difficult to deal with hooks, and they are even more uncomfortable to wear.
Edit: Nevermind I see a few front closing bras, those could work.
Heh, well pink isn't my first choice of color but this deal came at just the right time as I was about to go buy some anyway, 12 bras for $168 can't beat that easily. That's just $14 a piece!
also, if you go thru ebates, you can get 3% cash back...making this an even better deal :)
Also worked in the store. I wanted to try some bras on before purchasing and was planning on going home to buy. The saleslady was able to put the code in, and it worked. Yay 30% discount!
I couldn't get the free shipping code to work, so I just did site to store. Shipping to MA there's no sales tax, so my husband can pick them up while he's at work (we live in NY and sales tax is outrageous here!). I saved $189.60, had a $30 gift card, so I paid $76.40 for 8 bras. Out of my own pocket, I just bought 8 expensive and awesome bras for $9.55 each!
I love LB & Cacique!
I couldn't get the free shipping code to work either. :( But, like you, I had them shipped to the store. Maybe someone on here can tell me how I was supposed to enter the coupons in. Was it one at a time or both at the same time? This is an awesome deal!
I bought 4 bras earlier this week and have already received them site-to-store. So I just went back and bought 4 more! This is the best deal ever!
Just got mine in the mail today (free shipping worked for me). Not the softest bra ever but they're still great! Definitely can't complain about the PRICE!!@#!@!
codes no longer working ;( someone throw me a crying towel.
UPDATE!!! not as good as the 30% code BUT i found a 25% off code that i just used with success! 000253543

This is regarding a person (me) working in computers as the only and primary job in operations role ( which I mean more of a engineering role of remotely managing data center and stuff like that with some level of coding involved). Also spends time before computer even as a hobby/passion. Would contribute to community open source project through bug triaging and helping people in problem.
Why I am saying this is he typically spends a huge amount of spend on a day before the computer. So it is not manual labor kind of environment. Sometimes it gets hectic. During that time prioritizing and being organized in the mind and putting it down in paper, so that we don't loose track of things becomes important. At a beginning of my typical day I cannot imagine what might come, although most of the things are planned in advance, but not all.
Rarely some unplanned activity can steal the entire days work. So what are the best practices tips for being organized and prioritizing for best under heavy work. Under low work load anything would work, so doesn't matter. It only under heavy work load your strategies are put to test and many times for me it fails to deliver. At-least not to my satisfaction.
More important what are the best tools for this job that really deliver while not complicating it further. Simple things like paper and pen but efficient know to work. Paper and pen is not efficient since they tend to accumulate and get messy. Please share your ideas.
Note: I become a bit paranoid when I am stressed as I become worried about safety and security of the servers because my attention levels are dropping during stress and this adversely impacts the situation and complicates it further. I know i am messy at these things, that's why I come here for help. I have read many self help book. But they talk about quick fix. No long term planning and execution and efficiency.
I think today's self help book are short sighted and made to make money and not with real intentions. maybe i am wrong. But some book i came across 2 or 3 of them in recent past suggest me this. One of them is a classic called "how to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie. This sure has a approach of disregard for human values and treats as man as machine of cause and effect. I totally disagree, man is beyond cause and effect, though it is of an impact but not limited to that.

Android uses OpenGL ES, what is the difference between it and OpenGL?
OpenGL ES (Embedded Systems) is a stripped down version of OpenGL. There are a lot of differences between those two and if you want to go way into the details, then you can read this 128 specification paper. But ES is a subset of OpenGL so all ES apps work on non ES systems but not the opposite.
There is no one place where you can easily define what is in ES and what is not. Even one definition is "OpenGL-ES is just like OpenGL, but without a lot of stuff. For example, there's no glBegin or glEnd."
Alas, not one of the answers so far is both complete and fully correct. Really, OpenGL-ES does two things OpenGL does not:
1) it strips down and then extends OpenGL APIs to make it suitable for a mobile platform. That is, first they strip out APIs and features you really don't need, and are burdensome for mobile implementations, such as rendering polygons or using display lists. Then it makes a few judicious extensions to make it more useful for the mobile platform. I can't even remember an example of this, though.
2) it provides the interface to the window manager (and therefore native graphics hardware) of the mobile platform. This part of OpenGL-ES, known as EGL, is a lot like GLUT on the desktop. Except that it has none of those convenience methods that are not strictly necessary for that interface. So there is no API for drawing polyhedra or spheres (like in GLUT). But there are, for example, APIs that correspond to GLUT's init(), and to DisplayFunc() and ReshapeFunc() callbacks.
There is two OpenGL ES versions available on Android:
Warning, OpenGL ES 2.0 is not compatible with OpenGL ES 1.X!
Almost all Android phones have OpenGL 1.X GPU and most have 2.0. OpenGL ES 2.0 is only available with Android 2.x or newer.

More than 600 students from the top school archery teams in the state will compete March 13 in the 7th annual National Archery in the Schools Georgia state tournament.
The state's top archers from more than 40 elementary, middle and high schools will convene in Perry at the Georgia National Fairgrounds for the national-qualifying tournament. The state tournament is coordinated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division and is open to all Georgia schools enrolled in the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP).
Earlier this year, more than 1,100 archers in 4th-12th grades competed in six regional tournaments to qualify for entry into this state competition. Regional champion teams in the elementary, middle and high school divisions automatically qualified for state, while nine wildcard teams also received an invite based on regional scores.
State tournament division winners and individual qualifiers will have the opportunity to compete at the NASP National Tournament May 10-11 in Louisville, KY, where nearly 8,000 student archers from more than 35 states are expected to participate. In 2012, the national tournament was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest archery tournament ever held, with more than 7,800 archers.
School teams of 16-24 students consisting of male and female archers compete in three separate divisions: elementary (4th-6th grade), middle (7th-8th grade) and high (9th-12th grade). Archers will shoot at 10- and 15-meter intervals in six "flights." There are 106 shooting lanes in each flight. Awards will be handed out about one hour after the last flight is completed.
The state tournament is conducted at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter's Miller Murphy Howard Building next to gate No. 24 (West Gate). Admission is free for observers.
Regional tournament scores and state qualifiers are listed online at www.georgiawildlife.com/NASP. More scores and tournament team listings can also be found at www.nasptournaments.org. The Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter is off I-75. Driving directions can be found at www.gnfa.com.
The National Archery in the Schools Program is an in-school archery curriculum that meets all education department standards. Only schools that are certified in NASP through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are qualified to compete in the Georgia Tournament. Schools in more than 100 counties in Georgia are NASP certified.
The program promotes instruction in international-style target archery to improve educational performance and participation in shooting sports. Research has shown that the program, administered through a minimum two-week course during the school year, improves class attendance and behavior. NASP universal-fit bows make it possible for students of all sizes and genders to succeed in archery while raising self-esteem levels and improving hand-eye coordination during physical activity.
NASP is taught in 47 states as well as 10 countries. To date, more than 10 million students have gone through the program.
For more information on NASP in Georgia, recreational shooting sports opportunities or to find a range near you, visit www.georgiawildlife.com, contact a local Wildlife Resources Division office or call (770) 918-6416.

Let $K$ be a algebraic number field of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, and $O$ its ring of integers. Let $P$ be a prime ideal of $O$ and $(p)=P \cap \mathbb{Z}$. Is it true that the localization $O_{P}$ is a rank $n$ free module over $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ (the localization of $\mathbb{Z}$ at $(p)$) if and only if $P$ is the only prime above $(p)$?
Well, if $P$ is not the only prime above $p$, then $O_P$ cannot be a finitely-generated $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$-module for the following reason. Suppose $Q$ is another prime ideal above $p$ and select $\beta\in Q\setminus P$. Then $\beta^{-1}\in O_P$. If $O_P$ were finitely-generated as a module over $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$, then it would be integral over $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$, and hence would be contained in the integral closure of $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ in $K$, which is $O_p$. But then $\beta^{-1}\in O_p$, so $1/\beta=\alpha/m$ for some integer $m$ not divisible by $p$. This means that $m=\alpha\beta\in Q$, whence $m\in Q\cap\mathbb{Z}=(p)$, a contradiction.
Dear Pedro, actually the localization $O_p$ is always free of rank $n$ over $\mathbb Z_{(p)}$, independently of the number of primes above $p$.The reason is that
a) $O_p$ is of finite type and torsionless over $\mathbb Z_{(p)}$
b) $\mathbb Z_{(p)}$ is a principal ideal domain (PID for those in a hurry)
A reference for these facts is the elegant little book by Samuel, Algebraic Theory of Numbers, inspired by a draft for Bourbaki, but written in a much more, hum how shall I say, friendly style.
Edit Although what I wrote is (I hope) correct, it doesn't answer Pedro's question: he asked about $O_P$ and I answered about $ O_p$, as Keenan very politely commented. My sincerest apologies to Pedro and MathOverflow. However, as my friend Manuel Ojanguren remarked in order to to comfort me, if there is only one prime over $p$, then $O_p$ coincides with $O_P$ and we get that $O_P$ is finitely generated over $\mathbb Z_p$, which is one implication in the equivalence conjectured by Pedro.

I am having trouble grasping some of the concepts regarding the unit circle. I think I have the basics down but I do not have an intuitive sense of what is going on. Is memorizing the radian measurements and their corresponding points the only way to master this? What are some ways one can memorize the unit circle?
Edit for clarification: I think my trouble arises by the use of $\pi$ instead of degrees. We started graphing today and the use of numbers on the number line were again being referred to with $\pi$. Why is this?

I'm trying to come up with some math problems (word or otherwise) that get to the meaning of adding zero, but I'm getting stuck because it seems just too simple to me.
I have come up with questions like "John is having a birthday party and he invites five friends over but nobody shows up. How many people are at the party?". While this question gets to the problem at hand, it might be too simple to understand the meaning of adding zero. This problem also suffers from the possibility that first graders will answer like so, "Well there would be three people at the party because John's mom and dad would be there too."
Any ideas?

Tough to Secure Races
In the wake of the Boston Marathon explosions, police and race directors around the world will face heightened pressure to tighten security at outdoor competitions that draw tens of thousands of spectators.
It won't be easy.
"It's a soft target, stretched out across 26 miles. It would be very difficult to secure," said Jim Reese, a former U.S. Army Delta Force officer whose security firm, TigerSwan, is preparing a security plan for some Brazilian clients ahead of the 2014 soccer World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.
More urgent is the question of security at the London Marathon, which takes place this coming Sunday.
"A security plan is in place for the London Marathon. We will be reviewing our security arrangements in partnership with London Marathon," said Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent Julia Pendry in a statement released on the London Marathon's Twitter account.
London has experience handling security at a big sporting event: last year's summer Olympics. The Games were preceded by years of concern that the city, which has faced major terrorist incidents in the past, could be targeted. The Olympics went off with no major security incidents.
Security at the Boston Marathon is considered tight by marathon standards, involving a heavy police presence that includes bomb-sniffing dogs. After the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., police securing the Boston Marathon posted officers with rifles on top of Hopkinton High School along the marathon route.
But while fans arriving at arenas and stadiums can be—and frequently are—subjected to body and bag scans, the outdoor nature of marathons poses a more-complex problem. Typically, neither spectators nor runners are subjected to security.
"When you have a lot of people, and a world stage because of the media coverage, those type of events always lend themselves as attractive targets to a terrorist," said Don Borelli, a former counterterrorism official with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York. Mr. Borelli said marathons have long been considered attractive targets for terrorists.
In Washington, counterterrorism officials said they hadn't seen any prior intelligence suggesting a plot against the Boston Marathon.
As the unofficial kickoff of the footracing season in the U.S., the Boston Marathon attracts many race directors who will travel home faced with new security concerns. Their conundrum is that finish-line crowds represent a runner reward for finishing 26.2 miles. "You want people to share the joy and impact of finishing a life-changing event, of having their friends and family there," said Doug Thurston, director of the Big Sur International Marathon to take place April 28. "What we face now is a balance between allowing people access to share in such an occasion and keeping people safe."
About 15,000 people gather near the end of the Big Sur race in Carmel, Calif. Mr. Thurston, in Boston on Monday to watch the race, said he would meet with his security personnel to determine whether any additional measures would be implemented in the Big Sur race.
Race officials for the Army Marathon, to take place this Sunday near Fort Hood Army base in Texas, are also on alert. "Because of our name, the vigilance level has always been high, but now it needs to go up," said race director Ed Bandas.
Looking ahead, Mr. Reese, the security executive, said he believed security would be imposed on the large crowds that gather near the Central Park finish line of the ING New York City Marathon in November. "Those people will have to be screened. The race will have to set up a security perimeter in the key places where the crowds are gathered," he said.
A statement from Mary Wittenberg, chief executive of the New York Road Runners, which hosts the New York marathon, said, "The safety and security of all New York Road Runners' races is and will always be our top priority. We will continue to work hand in hand with the City of New York and the NYPD as we plan for upcoming events."

My garage door opener (Craftsman 1/2 HP) stopped working some time ago (even lights didn't come on). I replaced the circuit board and now the lights are working and the board reacts to the remote (rapid blinking) but the motor doesn't start (doesn't even make a noise). I decided to replace the motor but it didn't help. There is a large capacitor between the CB and the motor. When I press the remote my voltage meter doesn't show anything on that capacitor's legs. Could it be the capacitor?
When I was working on modifying my garage door opener, I found two things:
No voltage at the capacitor may mean it is never getting current to be charged. There is some sort of relay that the computer triggers to run the motor. That is a likely failure point in the system.

Is it better to add fresh basil to a tomato sauce and then let it cook for say, 10 mins, or wait till the end and add just before serving?
Fresh herbs should, generally, be added closer to the end of a recipe. Dried herbs should be added fairly early on during the cooking process so that they have time to "develop" and more fully release their flavors. Fresh herbs and spices, however, will generally have more subtle flavors, and they are usually best used for seasoning at the very end of the recipe, rather than actual cooking. You can check out more details about how to use different kinds of spices in this article.
For your specific case, I would say to definitely add the basil in at the end—maybe five or ten minutes before the sauce is finished, as you said. It may even be a good idea to remove the pot from your heat source after you have added the basil so that the herbs can infuse their flavor without actually cooking into the sauce. You have to be careful not to cook too much of the flavor out with fresh herbs. If they simmer too long with the rest of the dish the subtle flavors can be easily overpowered by other ingredients.
With basil (and other soft, fresh herbs), wait till the end to add them, just before serving.
It depends on what are you doing. Usually, fresh basil has to be added to a fresh sauce (means a sauce made by fresh tomatoes, to serve it "today") just at the end of cooking, 3-4 minutes before you turn your fire off. Then let it rest some minutes more, while you cook the pasta. You have to light the fire again at end, because you need a very hot sauce over your very hot pasta. It is very nice to save some leaves aside (the two top leaves, or the lateral ones, btw), and then add the leaves on each dish to decorate.
If you are doing a sauce for canning your own tomato sauce, you have to add fresh basil before to mill the sauce.
If you are doing any sauce using canned tomatoes, probably time to add the basil is indifferent, since canned tomatoes are seasoned yet, normally at least with salt. Or other industrial stuffs. Maybe add the basil halfway through cooking helps to cover the industry flavors.
PS That is how we in Italy do it.
Fresh sage and rosemary are herbs for roasted meat and never for tomato sauce. Oregano, fresh or dry (maybe dray), is herb for pizza, so if you cook something with oregano, it is called "alla pizzaiola".

The 7 Commandments All Video Games Should Obey
#6. Thou shalt not pad the length of your games.
Mass Effect, The Godfather games, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion IV, ah, fuck it. Any open-world game this generation.
See, here's the thing. We don't mind short games. Portal was a short game, everybody loved it. It was four hours of joy. Short is fine, as long as you adjust the price accordingly.
What you have started doing instead, game industry, is taking your short game and inventing some arbitrary way to pad the length. Such as:
Putting huge stretches of land between objectives.
Wow, what an awesome sprawling landscape your game inhabits. So sprawling that we have to ride a fucking horse for 20 minutes to get to the next mission. You also make it so that it's often not clear what the next objective is, and thus we must wander around aimlessly until we stumble across it. You then add up all of this cumulative horse riding and aimless wandering and boast that your game has "50 hours of game play."
"We must reach the citadel! It's 800 miles that way."
It's padding, plain and simple. And so is ...
Adding pointless, mandatory fetch quests.
The Metroid Prime series is guilty as hell of this, letting you get near the end before you have to track back across all the old levels and retrieve a bunch of shit. Twilight Princess turned us into a dog and made us go retrieve magical pearls for what felt like days at a time.
Games like Oblivion and Mass Effect give the illusion of almost infinite length, but their endless "go into another identical dungeon and retrieve X" side quests are just slightly remixed copies of previous levels.
Those games get a little bit of a pass because their repetitive side-quests are optional. Which brings us right to ...

FAST And EZ-EFIWritten by on August 1, 2012 Contributors: Brian Brennan The latest direct-port injection from FAST in their long line of successful EZ-EFI applications
Decades ago hot rod engine projects oftentimes were deemed finished after bolting on a carburetor. The "controlled gas leak" proved successful for decades, regardless of its shortcomings. From this point, getting your engine to run truly well you needed to account for ignition timing, altitude, and an assortment of related "fine-tuning" tips. Many of us were "pretty good" but oftentimes we looked for the local "carb expert" to truly dial in our four-barrel.
When electronic fuel injection (EFI) arrived, leading edge technology involved a crate engine, bolting on a factory fuel injection system, and then finding a "keyboard cowboy" to tune the system complete with mysterious chips and all the high-tech jargon that goes with it. With nearly 30 years of aftermarket EFI experience, little has changed and there are plenty of rodders who would rather endure the hot-and-cold vagaries of carburetion rather than trudge through the pitfalls of EFI.
What if we told you that EFI has progressed to the point that it can be as simple as bolting the mechanical components in place, entering a few simple data points into a handheld a controller, and turning the ignition key to "Start." Once the engine fires and settles into a comfortable idle speed that you command, your tuning efforts are complete. While that may sound as overly simplified as the promises of those late-night weight loss programs on cable TV, the honest truth is that it's this simple. Frankly, the most difficult part of this entire EFI operation will be creating a decent fuel delivery system. If you can handle that, the rest of it rates right up there with the name for this system—EZ-EFI.
Editor Brian Brennan's '28 Model A pickup (Nostalgia Speed & Cycle newly minted steel) was the perfect candidate for us to test FAST's EZ-EFI claims. To make this even easier, we decided to start with a one of Ford Racing's X302 budget-based long-block packages. The engine comes as an assembled (mild-overbore, 4.030x3.00 bore and stroke) 306ci seasoned block sporting a cast crank, I-beam forged connecting rods, and durable forged pistons, helping to make 9:1 compression. Bringing the small-inch V-8 to life Ford also screws in a hydraulic roller E303 cam (220/220 degrees duration at 0.050 with 0.498-inch lift and a lobe separation angle of 110 degrees), and a set of Ford Racing X306 aluminum heads complete with 1.94/1.54-inch valves sitting in 64cc chambers. Topped off with a set of polished aluminum valve covers and we were more than halfway toward a complete running car.
Along with an Edelbrock (PN 8843) water pump, distributor, wires, and exhaust, the main thing we needed was an intake system to complement the EZ-EFI. That choice was as easy as looking in the FAST catalog under the multi-port fuel injection kit. This includes a single-plane intake manifold, fuel rails, 36 lb/hr injectors, a throttle body, fuel pump, filter, idle air control motor, all the sensors, and, of course, the computer and handheld tuner. Once we bolted this system together on the engine, there wasn't much left to do but test this package on the dyno at Duttweiler Performance and push a few buttons.
After bolting the engine to the dyno, we were faced with the same number of connections that would be required in the car. Including the very simple eight-injector click-ins, there are only nine more connections required to make this system work. Even better, it's impossible to make the wrong connection because each sensor demands its own specific electrical connector. So you can't, in theory, screw up. By following simple commands on the handheld controller, with a few simple keystrokes you can configure the EZ-EFI to your specific combination and then that's when the fun starts.
After a mere 13 controller keystrokes, we hit the starter motor and our small-block Ford fired literally on the first revolution and within seconds it had settled into a comfortable 850-rpm idle speed with literally no drama. FAST recommends that once the engine has fired that you warm the engine and adjust the idle air controller motor to the middle of its range, which is also easy, and then you're ready to drive the engine. Since our small-block was on the dyno, we were ready to begin pulling for power. After no more than a dozen pulls, we had achieved peak power and the rest of the learning for part throttle will be achieved once the engine is comfortably resting in between the framerails. So how did we do? For our efforts, our 340hp rated engine overachieved to 370 horses, along with 346 lb-ft of torque. This included testing the engine all the way down to 1,300 rpm at wide-open throttle where we made 262 lb-ft of torque. This is something that most carburetors won't even attempt to achieve. We know because we've tried. In the meantime, we'll take you through the steps necessary to make all this magic happen. It doesn't get much easier.
How easy is EZ-EFI?
In all the years of working with aftermarket parts, I have to say that EZ-EFI is one of the few parts that truly lives up to its name. After a few simple electrical and fuel connections, we were programmed and running in less than three minutes. Here is the step-by-step view of the EZ-EFI setup.
Electronic timing curves
Because the EZ-EFI does not control ignition timing, we used an MSD E-Curve distributor. This is a stand-alone distributor that substitutes an electronic ignition curve for the old mechanical and vacuum advance mechanisms of previous designs. This is a stand-alone distributor, which means it also incorporates its own built-in ignition amplifier. Vacuum advance is handled by a built-in manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor located on the actual circuit board inside the distributor. This makes for a very compact and clean installation since you now don't need a large external ignition box. One of the cool things about this distributor is that you can do all your initial setup on the workbench rather than bent over the fender. The following captions will outline the setup procedure for the ignition.
EFI gas tank
One of the important "aha!" moments when converting any engine to EFI is to see if your fuel delivery needs a return line to the gas tank. Some systems (most notable the GM LS from 2000 forward) often utilize what's called a "dead head" system, meaning that a return line from the fuel rails back to the tank isn't required.
Our system does require a return line and knowing this we ordered a gas tank from Tanks Inc. It's a universal tank that we will have Frank "the Riveter" Wallic make an aluminum trunk for that will encase the tank, giving it protection as well as giving the appearance of a storage trunk in the bed rather than an exposed gas tank.
The space we had to work with allowed us to use the Tanks U3-GP, which is a universal steel alloy (galvanneal steel and primered) tank measuring 11-1/2x11-1/2x34 inches. It has a 16-gallon capacity, which is ideal for our small-block Ford V-8. The tank is fully baffled, has a 3/8-inch ID internal pick-up tube, rollover vent valve (very important!), and appropriate mounting brackets.
The tank also features a bolt-on neck with a billet cap and accompanying O-ring seal and will accept all of the popular aftermarket sending units.
Fuel pump
The gas tank is of little value unless you have a fuel pump. Submersible pumps have proven themselves to be reliable, perform well, and are quiet! To go along with our Tanks tank we also picked up a submersible fuel pump from them. It's a GPA-4 that's made here in the States and features an in-tank harness, a heavy 10-gauge, no-warp mounting plate (yellow-zinc plated to prevent corrosion), oven brazed fittings, and will handle 40-100 psi. The internal wiring harness, supply line, return line, filter sock, and insulator sleeve are included.
The fuel requirement for our Ford V-8, according to Ed Taylor at Duttweiler Performance, tells us the FAST EZ-EFI is set to run at 43 psi. We selected a pump capable of supporting 600 hp, even though our max is just below 400. According to Taylor, "This way the pump isn't running at or near maximum output but rather 'relaxed' during normal operation mode."
The GPA-4 fuel pump (Walbro) works well with the factory-installed reservoir trays. The tray is an absolute necessity for fuel-injection in order to prevent fuel starvation when accelerating and cornering.

The idle air controller motor came next. Be careful not to pinch the O-ring between the idle air motor and the throttle body.Lube the injector O-rings with white lithium grease and then tip the injector as you install it into the fuel rail being careful not to pinch the O-ring in the process. You will quickly discover if the O-ring is damaged as it will cause a major fuel leak.FAST includes the fuel pressure regulator. We installed it on the end of the fuel rail, but it can also be remotely mounted if necessary. We set mechanical fuel pressure at 43 psi.After installing the MSD E-Curve electronic distributor (PN 8503), the three-prong plug demands a distributor ground, positive and negative connections to the coil, and a switched ignition lead. The green wire from the MSD distributor is a clean tach signal necessary to trigger the EZ-EFI. We also included MSD spark plug wires and Made 4 You spark plug wire separators.With the EZ-EFI in place of the carburetor, it only took a few power pulls to come with a peak power number of 370 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque, and the best part was that EZ-EFI did all the heavy lifting. All we did was pull the throttle handle and let the electrons do all the work.Before starting the engine, we filled the crankcase with AMSOIL Inc. 10W-30 Synthetic; we also used an AMSOIL Inc. oil filter.Trans-Dapt offers an assortment of vacuum cap kits. We selected PN 9009, giving us a wide selection to plug off line opening during the build process and until the engine is in place and hooked up for the final time.
The Trans-Dapt carburetor hat (PN 2012) is ideal for keeping unwanted elements from getting into the FAST throttle body until it too is covered with an appropriate air cleaner prior to final operation.To satisfy the curious, we tried a Holley 750 mechanical secondary Street HP for comparison purposes. As we've seen in the past, power between the carburetor and EZ-EFI was within 1 or 2 hp all the way through the curve.Any vacuum line you can find; big or little openings need to be plugged for their own protection until final connections are made.Any vacuum line you can find; big or little openings need to be plugged for their own protection until final connections are made.Make sure to have a supply of plugs handy for any openings in the intake manifold that aren't used. Make sure to place a sealant on the threads.Trans-Dapt offers silicone vacuum hose in an assortment of colors and diameters. We opted for red (PN 6997) to match other engine accessories.When you power up the handheld programmer for the first time, select the startup wizard and hit enter.Having your MSD primary wires (PN 31199)run neatly around and over your engine is the job of the Made 4 You separators (PN 50-95613). (MSD Blaster SS coil was used, PN 8207.)
The next screen will display the engine's displacement. Use the up or down arrows to establish displacement and hit the "Done" button.The critical step for EZ-EFI operation is to connect the battery positive and negative directly to the battery. Unless you do this essential step, there's potential for electrical noise problems.The next screen asks if you are using EZ-EFI single, dual, or Inglese throttle bodies. Since this is configured for port fuel, the choice is "Other."With the engine off, set the engine's working fuel pressure in the software to 43 psi and hit enter. Once your setup is complete and the engine is running, mechanically set the pressure at 43 psi with the vacuum line removed from the regulator.Now it's time to calibrate the throttle position switch. With the engine off and throttle closed, pressing the "Enter" button will calibrate the sensor's closed throttle position.
As the engine warms up, a bar graph will move across toward the target indicated on the screen. As the engine has warmed up, you can adjust the mechanical idle speed until the indicator is centered in target. This centers the travel of the idle air speed motor. Once the engine is up and running properly, you can go back into the Advanced Options in the main menu and adjust things like the air/fuel ratio at Idle, Cruise, and WOT. This is where you also set the rev limiter.With cap and rotor removed from the distributor, we decided to first set the rev limiter. There are three pots on the circuit board, the round one is the rev limiter. It has a very small arrow to point to the rev limiter scale. We set ours at 6,800 rpm. The rev limiter range is from 5,000-10,000 rpm.The two square pots located on the circuit board are called out as Switch 1 and Switch 2. In the instructions for the distributor is this sheet that indicates pot positions to determine the actual ignition curve. There are four total electronic centrifugal advance curves and each one of these total curves (10, 15, 20, and 25 degrees of advance) has options for four different rates of advance to achieve those totals. Then there is a total of five different "vacuum" or part throttle advance curves also to choose from. At part throttle, these add to the centrifugal curves. At wide-open throttle, the vacuum curves do not add timing.We chose to use the least-aggressive 20-degree centrifugal advance curve, which is called out in the instruction sheet at the "E" curve. With an initial timing setting of 16 degrees at idle, this gave us a total of 36 degrees of total timing over 3,400 rpm. Then we set the Switch 1 at position 2 to establish a conservative vacuum advance curve.Everything you need comes from Tanks for the tank and their submersible fuel pump kits. This one is a GPA-4 capable of supporting up to 600 hp.

Klat magazine, a contemporary art, design, and architecture publication, spoke with graphic designer and CAPA fellow Gong Szeto about his ongoing work in collecting and visualizing geopolitical data to enhance the risk assessment capabilities of U.S. federal agencies.
"Imagine a dispersed array of intelligence-gathering resources," says Szeto: "Eyes and ears in the field, satellites in orbit, signals from ordinary citizens and NGOs, text messages, tweets, cellphone cameras, analysts' reports from intelligence agencies, publicly available media and news sources. Individually they only express a narrow slice of what may be happening in a region of concern. It is the composite of them all that paints a detailed picture of whether there may be risk in the form of civil war, famine, terrorist activity. These are all aspects required in the insight part of the equation."

I am having trouble with the following lemma from J. Rotman's Galois Theory book:
Lemma $83$. If $L$ and $L'$ are lattices and $\gamma: L \rightarrow L'$ is an order reversing bijection $[a \leq b$ implies $\gamma(b) \leq \gamma(a)]$, then $\gamma(a \wedge b) = \gamma(a) \vee \gamma(b)$ and $\gamma(a \wedge b) = \gamma(a) \vee \gamma(b)$.
The proof is fairly obvious if you know that when $\gamma$ is order reversing, then $\gamma^{-1}$ is order reversing also. Rotman says that this is "easily seen", but I just don't see it. I think it would be easy if his definition was that $\gamma$ is order reversing when $a \leq b$ if and only if $\gamma(b) \leq \gamma(a)$ instead. In a set theory book I have, isomorphisms between two posets $A$ and $B$ are defined as $f: A \rightarrow B$ such that $a \leq b$ if and only if $f(a) \leq f(b)$.
Am I missing something really easy or should the definition be different? Is there a counterexample? That is, is there a bijective map $f: A \rightarrow B$ between two lattices/posets $A$ and $B$ such that $a \leq b$ implies $f(b) \leq f(a)$, but $f^{-1}$ does not have this property?

Even taking just one class represents a pretty big commitment of time. In addition to the time you spend in the classroom you will need additional time to read textbooks, do homework, and study for tests. Just traveling to and from class takes time. Fortunately, we are close and accessible and most students discover that finding the time is easier than they thought. Additionally, ACTC offers a large number of online and partially online classes which makes finding the time even easier.
College is often a big expense, but it doesn't have to be. ACTC is among the best educational values in the area. Not only is our tuition lower than most other local colleges and universities, but our class sizes are smaller. This means you won't be paying a lot of money for a professor you can only see with binoculars.
A lot of people think that college isn't for them because they struggled in high school or because high school was so long ago. Well, ACTC offers classes that can bring you up to speed. You'll be working on your degree sooner than you think.

Huskies' Faris excels in classroom as well as on court
Senior guard one of five honored for academics
STORRS – The remainder of Tuesday's game against Marquette wasn't the only thing that was academic by halftime for the UConn women's basketball team.
During intermission, after the Huskies ran out to a 62-17 lead over the Golden Eagles, UConn honored all the school's student-athletes who achieved a 3.0 grade point average or better during either the spring semester of the last academic year or this year's fall semester.
There were five women's basketball players who achieved the feat in Heather Buck, Stefanie Dolson, Caroline Doty, Kiah Stokes and Kelly Faris.
"We are very competitive on and off the court," associate head coach Chris Dailey said. "Our goal is to have 11-for-11."
Faris, who has an independent Sport Promotion and Individual Development major, was additionally honored for achieving a perfect 4.0 average in the spring semester.
"It's nice to see everything pay off," Faris said. "It's kind of stressful. I put a lot of pressure on myself. That's just how I've always been and whether it's on the floor or academically if I don't get a 4.0 I'm not happy about it. If I don't get four A's it's like `I should've done this differently.' That's kind of just how I am with everything. So it's nice to finally see some of it pay off."
Faris said she had a 3.8 GPA in the fall and was mad at herself, because she failed to get an A in a general education class she took.
"It was a geography class and I'm horrible," Faris said. "I have no sense of direction. And I tried so hard. I had meetings with the professor and I was trying to figure out how I should study. And it was just one test and it just got me. So I was not happy about it.''
Overall, she has a 3.7 GPA. Her major, she said, is individualized to keep her options open for working with kids in the future.
"I like to work with kids," Faris said. "But it's not something I'm just going to say, 'OK, this is the avenue I want to take.' There's options for me. If I want to do something with sports, if I want to do Special Olympics or be in the hospital setting like being a child life specialist. But it's things I'm going to have to try when I get to that point to figure out which one I actually like.''
No one on the team was surprised that Faris, the hardest worker on the court for the Huskies, also has the work ethic to excel in the classroom. Teammate Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis is genuinely such a fan of Faris' overall approach to everything that she does, that she referred to Faris in reverent fashion as if she was a deity.
"Kelly is a genius," Mosqueda-Lewis said. "Kelly is super smart and super talented. Kelly is all. Like I said … Jesus."
Coach Geno Auriemma didn't go quite that far, but he did make it clear he's one of Faris' biggest fans.
"It is no mystery why Kelly has a 4.0," Auriemma said. "She is she is very bright. She is very bright. She is very practical. She takes tremendous pride in everything she does. She wants to. She wanted to get a 4.0 so she got one. We talked about that after the game in the locker room with the other players. Once you put a number on something, it holds you more accountable. And Kelly likes being held accountable. I'm sure Kelly said 'I want to get a 4.0 this semester,' and now she is going to held accountable. If she gets a 3.9, she failed. More kids could probably do better than they do now academically, if they just put a number on it."
Auriemma said the secret to Faris' success is definitely more than just intelligence.
"I think what Kelly does better than most people is I think she puts everything into her little compartment, and then she works that compartment all the time," Auriemma said. "So today from 2-4, we've got practice and nothing else matters except practice. Tonight from 7-9, I've got to study, and she is not thinking about basketball from 7-9. And tomorrow morning at 11, I'm in class and she is not thinking about anything other than that class. She is able to do that. A lot of kids are not able to do that. It is a credit to her mom and dad, and it is a credit to her."
