6 Actors Who Play the Exact Same Role in Multiple Movies
Some actors do the same thing in almost every movie: Tom Cruise plays secret agents, Bruce Willis plays bald guys holding machine guns, and James Marsden causes women to bang other men.
But as we've pointed out before, other actors find themselves in the same oddly specific situations in different movies. Not because they're typecast, but seemingly by pure coincidence. For example ...
#6. Keanu Reeves Always Commits Suicide to Thwart Superhuman Evil
Keanu Reeves, you have a problem. And that problem is that you keep killing yourself to stop some ultimate evil from taking over the planet, often in religious or pseudo-religious situations. That isn't healthy, Keanu. We think it's time you gave it a break. Let someone else save the world -- what's Alex Winters doing these days?
This all started in 1996's The Devil's Advocate, an entire movie based on the idea "What if Keanu Reeves was literally Satan's attorney?" (that phrase was also the entire screenplay). Then it turns out that Satan, played by Al Pacino, is not only Keanu's boss but also his father, and his master plan involves getting Keanu to have sex with his own sister in order to produce the Antichrist.
"And I saw a beast having seven heads and 10 horns, and upon his body a diaper, because he was too inbred to control his own bowels."
Keanu tries to shoot Satan, but his bullets have no effect, because Satan eats AK-47s for breakfast. Since simply not screwing his sister is apparently not an option, Keanu, in a shocking twist ending, turns the gun on himself and blows his brains out, fucking up Satan's whole plan.
This was also his exact reaction to the Sad Keanu meme.
The twist ending is not so shocking when it happens again in the film Constantine, in which Keanu portrays a modern-day exorcist who must stop Satan's son, the demon Mammon, from taking over the Earth behind his daddy's back. Knowing that his own soul is damned to hell because of all those times he cheated in Monopoly, Keanu cleverly slits his wrists specifically so he can have a chat with Lucifer and rat out Mammon.
How many black suits has Keanu ruined in his career?
After he has dealt with Junior, Satan tries to take Keanu's soul to hell, only to find out that he can't because Keanu's been redeemed by his self-sacrifice. So, instead, he begins ascending to heaven.
Look familiar? You might remember Keanu floating in a similar pose at the end of the Matrix trilogy. This time, Keanu, as Neo the cyber-Jesus, allows himself to be absorbed by the virus that's putting both humans and our machine overlords in jeopardy, letting the machine leader send an energy overload through his body -- killing Keanu and the virus at the same time. Once again, the day is saved by Keanu Reeve's suicide!
"We would have used Norton, but the license expired."
#5. Jennifer Connelly Really Likes Standing at the End of Piers
Directors borrowing shots from other directors' movies is nothing new; Quentin Tarantino has built his entire career on that, and besides, there are only so many ways you can frame Samuel L. Jackson's angry face. But sometimes filmmakers will copy exact shots from other films without even realizing it -- and without even realizing it, they'll also put the exact same actress in them.
Take Alex Proyas' 1998 neo-noir sci-fi cult classic thriller Dark City, which, true to its title, contains no shots in daylight throughout the entire movie ... until the last 60 seconds, when we see a long pier framed by a stunningly blue ocean, with a woman standing at the end and holding a red dress.
And, somewhere beneath the pier, Jaws lurks.
Yep, it's a striking visual -- one that was repeated two years later in Darren Aronofsky's lighthearted romp about addiction and ass-to-ass action, Requiem for a Dream. In a dream sequence, the stoned protagonist sees his girlfriend standing at the end of a beautiful pier and walks toward her. Now the woman is actually wearing a red dress.
The "woman at the end of a pier" shot appears yet again in the 2003 drama House of Sand and Fog, although this time it's a bit less sunny and a lot more seagull-infested.
She's still wearing the red dress, it's just covered in bird droppings.
And here's the kicker: The woman in all those shots? That would be Jennifer Connelly. Check it out:
"Comeeeee ooooon, I've been here all day."
According to Aronofsky, this was a complete coincidence -- he says he hadn't even seen Dark City when he came up with his version of the "woman on a pier" shot, and only found out it had been done again when Connelly herself mentioned how strange it was that both films used the same image (at that point, it was too late to change it). By the time the director of House of Sand and Fog asked her to do the same thing yet again, her reaction was "Wait, how many times have I done this now?"
#4. James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair Twice Play African Royalty Whose Son Flees the Country
Disney's The Lion King is often accused of ripping off a lesser-known Japanese cartoon called Kimba the White Lion, and while the evidence to support that accusation is pretty compelling, we think there's another source that deserves at least as much credit: Eddie Murphy's Coming to America. Seriously.
Disney owes you money, Eddie.
More specifically, veteran actor James Earl Jones (best known for playing Darth Vader's voice in Star Wars) portrays suspiciously similar characters in both movies. While they differ in superficial details, like their degree of horniness, whether they're dead or alive, and the fact that one of them is a talking lion, Jones was paid to do pretty much the same thing in both movies.
"The craft services table for Coming to America had better have wildebeest jerky."
In The Lion King, Jones voices King Mufasa, an African lion and father of Prince Simba (Matthew Broderick). When Mufasa is killed, Simba leaves the kingdom and spends the rest of the movie hakuna matata-ing before an encounter with his dad's ghost motivates him to make a triumphant return and become the king himself.
This vision had nothing to do with the mushrooms Pumba and Timon gave him.
Meanwhile, in Coming to America, Jones portrays the awesomely named King Jaffe Joffer, whose son, Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy), also leaves the kingdom early in the movie, in this case to work at a knockoff McDonald's in America. Like in The Lion King, a third-act encounter with James Earl Jones' character causes Akeem to return to his homeland and marry his sweetheart. In fact, someone went ahead and pasted some dialogue from Coming to America on top of Lion King footage, and it works pretty well.
Of course, King Joffer isn't quite as wise as Mufasa, so the happy ending in Coming to America probably wouldn't have happened without the intervention and common sense of the queen, played by veteran actress Madge Sinclair. If you're wondering what other movies she's been in, here's one you might have seen: She voiced Queen Sarabi, Simba's mom, in The Lion King. We're now convinced that Disney would have gotten Eddie Murphy to play Simba, too, but then they'd have to legally call it a remake.
"Sweet coat, right? Found it lying under a bunch of wildebeests."

I have an Asus Transformer Prime TF-201, and am upgrading to an Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF-701. Before I sell my old table, I want to backup all my data and apps, and somehow transfer them to the new tablet. Is this possible without rooting the tablet? Both are currently synced with my Google account, and on both tablets, under Settings->Backup and Restore, both tablets are set to backup information to Google.
I could start with the very same lamentations: No root no fun. As except for root only the app itself can access its data, there's no real way around -- except...
But first an elegant alternative to the mentioned Titanium Backup: While running both (rooted!) devices simultaneously, AppSync can synchronize apps and data. So you could even start some game on one device, sync, and continue on the other -- just to give you one example.
The one possibility without root requires at least ICS (Android 4.x). I'm not sure whether this works betwenn different devices (or whether some device component is used for encryption), but as far as I understood it should do: Using
I know you would like to have the transfer done without rooting. But in my opinion it can't be done. So, in case if you are ready for a compromise on rooting, you can use Titanium Backup Root app to back up and restore apps with its data and settings.
I once did this kind of transfer between two rooted phones. On the first phone, I backed up all user apps with its settings and data. I copied the TB's folder in SD card to my computer and in my other phone (already rooted) I used the same Google account and downloaded Titanium Backup. After a first run, I copied the previously copied TB's folders from computer to the other phone's SD card, over writing the existing content. After running TB in the other phone, I opted for restore all user apps with its data and I got back everything as it is.
I have news for whomever said: "Without root it's not possible" yes it is. I got a Asus transformer TF700T in Oct 12. It came with app backup. It gives you the choice of just backing up the app or app/data. Tested it and it works!
What about FruitMobile App BackUp? I haven't tested it but it looks like it can backup/restore apps and app data to/from the SD card without root.
The short answer is, this is not possible without rooting. Application data and settings can't be accessed outside the application/system by the regular user account for security reasons.

How can I disable JSMin compression?
Hello everyone.
I'm looking for ability to turn off files minification. Right now JSBuilder compress all project files while building but I really don't want my files to be minified with JSMin as I'm using YUI Compressor. Does anyone knows how can I disable that complression/minification? I didn't find anything about that in optionsm ;(
Please, advice. Thanks!
18 Feb 2009 10:47 AM #2
I am looking for a similar solution as well. Is it possible to turn off minification.
Or Is there any tool just to combine files ?
3 Apr 2009 2:56 PM #3
I am looking for something exactly like this as well. My reason is I want a .jsb I can drop into eclipse to give me code complete with my js source folder. I have been building a stripped down version of the .jsb via a perl script and a unix find command to get me all .js files, however this is problematic because if the tags are not written in a certain order spket does not load the classes in the order they are inherrited and code complete breaks seemingly randomly. I will start looking at the C# code to extract a process of doing this because in the end I want something i can run from within eclipse to generate the .jsb so that all i have to do is click reload javascript profille when new .js files are added.
however if anyone has already sovled this problem please let me know
5 Apr 2009 7:02 PM #4
Isn't it just a matter of turning off the option 'Compress the source files and copy them to the following directory'
6 Apr 2009 6:33 AM #5
I realize what I want to do is not as simple as flipping a switch. Is anyone familiar with how js-builder builds the .jsb files? Is it based on doc comments? Does it look for "Ext.extend" to determine what order to write out it's <include ...> tags ?
7 Apr 2009 5:24 PM #6
http://getsprockets.org/installation_and_usage might be doing what you are after.
8 Apr 2009 10:41 AM #7
for better or worse I ended up writing some perl classes that look for js doc tags @class and @extends as well as looking for the Ext.extend string. Given a source folder it recurses and finds all .js files, parses them, finds dependencies based on those 2 factors just mentioned, and writes out the <include...> tags in the order they should be in. This gives me one click rebuild of my libs and gives me code complete in spket once i reload my js profile.
I didn't spend too much time looking at Sprockets, but it seems that it concats the js files into one file, which is not exactly what i want. I want to be able to jump between different files in my lib and have code complete and docs available w/o having to resort to the docs page all the time.
thanks to all those who replied
9 Sep 2009 9:59 AM #8
For those who using YUI Compressor and Spket, you can download flowing files and put it into Spket plugins folder
After restart Spket IDE, just choose any files/folders and click mouse right button, in context menu, choose "YUI Compressor..." item. it can compress multi files into one output, and it support jsb and jsb2 format, this feature will include in next version of Spket IDESpket IDE - Development Tool for RIA

Favorite pas de deux?
Posted 11 March 2008 - 01:31 PM
Posted 11 March 2008 - 02:31 PM
Well, my Pdd favorites depend on the couple dancing. A Gillian Murphy/David Hallberg Manon isn't going to pack the same punch that a Ferri/Bocca or Vishneva/Malakhov one will
Well, there's one: Manon Bedroom Pas. So...sweeping, yet so intimate.
Giselle pdd, espec. when done with TASTEFUL dancers. Even though the subject at hand is quite sad, it's so...peaceful, and for that brief moment in time, we feel calm when watching the ballet, though the rest of it is frentic Act II "Save me from death!".
Bayadere Act III. Same as Giselle, just a moment of calm after the craziness of Act II.
Black Swan: Naturally! Where else does the girl put her foot down and dictate the show??
Don Q Act I. This one is ignored in favor of Act III (which is just as fine!), but I love the one-upmanship and flamboyance displaced here, that is somehow missing in Act III. Act III is focused more on the two in love and being a little more restrained, but Act I is "Go flirt with them all you want, it doesn't bother me!" *stunning jump of frustration* and all that flirting and banter
Posted 11 March 2008 - 06:30 PM
The first that comes to mind is the pas between Jock Soto and Wendy Whelan in Chris Wheeldon's "After the Rain". It moves me to tears.
Christopher Stowell (AD of Oregon Ballet Theatre) choreographed a wonderful Midsummer Night's Dream this past fall season. The pas was beautiful and intimate. I felt as though I was seeing a private moment (but in a nice way) between 2 lovers. Did anyone else see his Midsummer?
Posted 12 March 2008 - 05:39 AM
The Grand Pas from Sleeping Beauty
Oberon and Titania's duet from The Dream
Butterfly and Pinkerton from David Nixon's Madame Butterfly
Cinderella and Prince (I'm an ordinary man) from Christopher Gable's Cinderella
All the above are, to me, so beautiful that they bring tears to my eyes
And finally the greatest and happiest tear-jerker of them all - the final duet from Two Pigeons (especially as danced by Nao Sakuma and Robert Parker on a sunny afternoon in Birmingham a couple of years ago and in the same weekend to similar effect by Ambra Vallo and Chi Cao)
Does this cover just the pdd itself or particular performances that have elevated the dance to the status of unforgettable. In this case I would also add two perfornances of the final duet in Manon - one danced on a Bank Holiday afternoon by Alina Cojacaru and Johan Kobborg and the other on a cold February evening by Caroline Cavallo and Andrew Bowman.
Posted 12 March 2008 - 05:52 AM
And I'd have to add the Les Sylphides pdd. Haven't seen that in years (come to think of it, does anybody even still perform the ballet anymore?).
Edited to add: At SFB I'm seeing the pdd from After the Rain this weekend, although not with Soto/Whelan, of course. I loved the Summer pdd from Wheeldon's Quaternary (although I think the extraordinary Muriel Maffre had a lot to do that) so I'll be curious to see how After the Rain measures up.

Tchaikovsky PDD
Spartacus Act I
White/Black Swan PDD

Sugar Plum Fairy (Balanchine)
Theme and Variations PDD
Tchaikovsky PDD (Balanchine)
Giselle Act 2
R&J Balcony Scene (Macmillan)
Sleeping Beauty Act 3 (the western version, with the fishdives)
There are more, but these are the first few of the top of my head.
Posted 12 March 2008 - 10:47 AM
honestly, dirac, you should have started us off
I'm sorry, I was a bit pressed for time yesterday and I wanted to get the topic started before I forgot about it -
My two favorites off the top of my head are Giselle Act II and the Diamonds pdd, which is like a story in itself and so gorgeous, especially in the Farrell-Martins video (although I liked Julie Diana in it when she was with San Francisco Ballet and Uliana Lopatkina, too, when she was here on a visit).
My favorite bonbon pas de deux is Le Corsaire in the filmed version with Fonteyn and Nureyev. The two of them are such a classic contrast in style, and nobody can perform the ending with the boffo flourish that Nureyev gives it; he makes his ballerina a goddess, and no other dancer looks so at home in harem pants.
Well, my Pdd favorites depend on the couple dancing. A Gillian Murphy/David Hallberg Manon isn't going to pack the same punch that a Ferri/Bocca or Vishneva/Malakhov one will
Interesting point, ngitanjali. How do others feel? Are there pdd you think are dependent on who's dancing them, or are some dancer-proof?
Thanks, everyone. Keep talking!
Posted 12 March 2008 - 11:37 AM
-- Giselle Act II (which fuses the story element so beatifully and subtly) and
-- Diamonds (which exists in a lofty realm in which stories seem irrelevant). My most recent Diamonds, with Catoya and Sarabia, is still running visually in my head.
Some pdds stand out for one or two reasons, if not for the entire package. If we're allowed to included pdds that don't fit the classic format, I'd go with Balanchine's
-- Agon (for the inventiveness and brilliancy of movement),
-- Firebird (for the music),
-- Sonnambula (for eeriness),
-- the "Who Cares?" pdd from Who Cares? (for attitude),
-- the second pdd in Stravinsky Violin Concerto (see Agon above),
-- the second pdd from Baiser de la Fee (for unpredictability) ....
it's hard to stop.
For the inexpressible joy of excess: Spartacus and Phrygia from Spartacus. I love the video which cross cuts the original cast (Vasiliev and Maximova, 1968) with Makhamedov and Semenyaka from 1989. It's included in thhis clip:

No worries dirac I was just teasing!
Posted 12 March 2008 - 03:03 PM
So...a few from me:
Balcony pdd from Macmillan's R&J--especially with ferri and bocca
white swan pdd when danced by Part and Gomes--I like this one normally, but I've never been brought to tears except by them
Corsaire--it is trite perhaps, but it really is a fabulous one--any bravura dancers will do. I don't have specific dancers for this one.
black swan pdd--because how can I not include it. It is a show stopper and rightly so.

Several members cited it on a similar thread, pop. It's one of mine, and maybe I'm underestimating it, but I wonder if it would affect us as much without context of the full ballet as, for example the Don Q does.
I think it would be a gorgeous pas de deux anywhere, but you're right - it is intensified greatly by the context. Unlike Don Q or similar great duets, it's not a display piece in spite of the divertissement label; it's a carefully placed piece of drama, the climax of this portrait of the aspects of love, and I think its moving splendor of male-female union would be lessened without not only all that's gone before, but the quiet irony of the ballet's anticlimactic return to the primal woods and its male-female elements dispersing into separation.

More attention should be given to the assessment of nutrition practices when assessing the impact of WASH on the health of school children. We also don't know enough about the long term impact of WASH interventions on child health. These are some of the conclusions that researchers from the Center for Global Health and Development at the the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) drew from a review of the literature [1].
Dr. Ashish Joshi and research assistant Chioma Amadi reviewed the impact of water treatment, hygiene, and sanitary interventions on improving child health outcomes such as absenteeism, infections, knowledge, attitudes, and practices and adoption of point-of-use water treatment. For their final analysis they selected 15 peer-reviewed English-language studies published between 2009 and 2012 that focused on the effects of access to safe water, hand washing facilities, and hygiene education among school-age children.

7 Healthy Ingredients Your Diet Needs
You don't need to radically change your lifestyle or pop a small army of supplements to get healthy. Just add these 7 ingredients to your diet
"Beneficial bacteria [known as probiotics] keeps your gut healthy," says Stella Metsovas, a nutrition and diet expert in Los Angeles. "Having healthy, functioning intestines allows you to better digest and assimilate nutrients -- a key factor to optimal health!"
While Metsovas takes a bite of kimchi or sauerkraut every morning, any foods with live, active cultures (like miso, tempeh, and kefir) fit the bill.

I'm developing a linux kernel driver for a multitouch device. Right now I have already touch being injected to the linux kernel subsystem and it is working. The problem is that I also need to interact with the device to change settings an so on.
While the kernel is grabbing the device I can't grab it in user space, so I need to find a way to interact with the kernel driver.
My first driver test had some extra operations that I can't find on the current model i'm using. It had open, close, read, write operatins that I could perform from user space.
How can I do such things with input drivers? Is there any official way?
Thanks in advance,
With my best regards,

I'm a graduate student studying algebraic geometry I saw Spectral sequence is important in deformation theory, and many other places in algebraic geometry. Can you recommand me some good text for studying Spectral sequence, focused on algebraic geometric purpose.
My advice is to first understand the spectral sequence associated to a filtered complex, beginning with a filtration of length one, then a filtration of length two .... These will be very concrete and you'll be able to write everything down, chase the relevant diagrams and see what's going on.
Then generalize by understanding the spectral sequence of a arbitrary exact couple, and you'll have a quite clear picture of most of the subject.
The definitions are in any book on homological algebra (I like Chapter 10 of Rotman), but the first thing you should do with these definitions is specialize to the simple cases (e.g. filtrations of length one) and write down all the relevant diagrams.

St. Clairsville will get a taste of Stark County a week earlier than they had envisioned.
The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced the sites for this weekend's football state semifinals and the Division IV matchup between the Red Devils and defending state champion Creston Norwayne will be at Massillon's Paul Brown Tiger Stadium with kickoff slated for 7:30 p.m.
"Paul Brown Stadium is a special place for high school football," said St. C. head coach Brett McLean shortly after learning the site Sunday afternoon. "We're thrilled to go there and play on Friday."
The distance to Massillon between the two schools is generous to the Bobcats, but that doesn't matter to Red Devils' head coach Brett McLean.
"We're willing to drive to play in that stadium in a heartbeat," McLean said. "I think it's listed in the top six or 10 best venues in the nation, so the distance doesn't matter to us."
The trip for St. Clairsville is better than 70 miles if fans opt to take U.S. 250 and just under 100 if they elect to take Interstate 70 to Cambridge and head up I-77.
For Norwayne, meanwhile, the trip is a shade over 35 miles.
"We know our fans will travel well," McLean said. "They've been supporting us all season and when you're playing in the state semifinals, distance shouldn't matter."
Many thought New Philadelphia could have been the site for the Red Devils and Bobcats, especially considering Norwayne played its semifinal last year at Woody Hayes Quaker Stadium against Johnstown-Monroe.
The Tuscarawas County venue will host a semifinal, but the OHSAA elected to place Mogadore and Newark Catholic there instead.
"I'm not surprised they put us in Massillon," McLean said. "It's really no big deal at this point. It's a great stadium and we're looking forward to it."
A handful of other Ohio Valley teams have had the opportunity to play at Paul Brown in recent memory.
Bellaire fell in the 1995 and 1996 Division IV state championship game on that turf. Steubenville won a state title on that field in 2005, Steubenville Central was defeated there that same season in the title game by Delphos St. John.
Martins Ferry was eliminated in a state semifinal by Youngstown Cardinal Mooney in 2004.
Norwayne has played a game on the Paul Brown Stadium field. It defeated Kenton in last year's Division IV title game. The Bobcats won a thriller, 48-42.
"They obviously won't be starstruck by the place," McLean said. "They definitely have some fond memories of the stadium."
The other Division IV state semifinal, which pits Columbus Bishop Hartley against Clarksville Clinton Massie is scheduled for Northmont High School in Clayton.
The Division IV state championship game is slated for Nov. 30 at Canton's Fawcett Stadium at 3 p.m..

My podiatrist recommended these and over the years I've bought them for the entire family - including my mom. We all work at jobs where we stand all day long and these are perfect. They have a great arch & great support. This year I purchased two colors so I can alternate everyday.
Walking and running.
I've been running in the 1260 model for 4 years now. I'm on my third pair of the v4 and I still love them. The v4 has the wide toe box I need as well as space in the instep to enable me to wear my orthotic (3/4 length PowerStep) AND the original insole. It is a stability shoe that isn't too heavy and the cushioning is just right for me, not too soft, just right. I average 30-40 miles per week with some weeks as high as 50 miles during marathon training. I trade out my shoes at about 400 miles, but these shoes have plenty of life left after that for everyday wear.
I ordered these shoes as I have been running in the 1260 v3's at the recommendation of a running store employee. These were a little more cushioned, and felt great when I first put them on. I have custom inserts, and they fit in the shoe perfectly. I had no problems breaking them in and they have been my primary running shoe for my half-marathon training. The fit is right-on.
Great cushioning. Knees much happier!
I have to order 2A width running shoes and the sales person that helped me thought this New Balance shoe would work. When it arrived, I couldn't believe the toe box was huge. My foot slipped all over in it. I'm surprised it was labeled a 2A.
Best Uses
I have orthotic devices from my podiatrist. These shoes were the best fit for them. Plenty wide enough and comfortable for my feet.
Great fit and cushioning for my 20 plus miles a week on road and treadmill. These replaced my prior 1260's and these have a better fit in the toe box.
Best Uses
I've used NB for marathon training and racing. I've never had a blister or sore toe and they've been through miles and different socks. I like trying out other shoes but always come back to NB for long term comfort and reliability. I have high arches and wide feet, these come in a wide so I don't have to go up half size. Definitely worth the money, I will always keep one pair in rotation.
Best Uses
Have used this at 1/2 marathon but would use for marathon. Love New Balance shoes and the way you can feel your running but still cushioned . Feel nice and lightweight, hold feet well in shoe
I run outside about 4 miles. I have bunionns and have tried lots of different shoes and these seem to be a good fit.
New Balance is always a good choice. This shoe has a wide toe box so really not necessary to order in a wider width.
Excellent cushion & wide front
Best Uses
This shoe is the perfect solution for people like me who are looking for a good blend of features. This shoe has just the right amount of pronation control to provide stability, but you don't notice it like you do in some other stability shoes. The cushioning is just right - not too firm, not too squishy. The toe box is roomy, but the heel cup is fitted just right. The heel-to-toe drop is also pretty moderate (8mm), so it's perfect for someone like me that does more walking than running. The shoes are breathable, but not so much that my feet get cold easily now that the morning temps are at 40 degrees. I only needed one session to break them in. They're also reasonably lightweight for a stability shoe (some are HEAVY!).
Best Uses
I went to Road Runner because my chiropractor suggested I go for my plantar faciatus.(?).
Best Uses
I ordered this specific model to replace my older NB 806 All Terrain shoes. They are extremely comfortable but not built for cold or wet weather. Although they don't meet my need for winter wear I plan to keep them to replace my last pair of NB everyday shoes that are starting to lose their cushioning. I like the bright colors but honestly... I wouldn't care what color they were as long as I get the NB fit and comfort.
So I had 1260V2 that I bought on sale last winter and have been wearing those, then I needed new shoes and purchased the V4--LOVE THEM LOVE THEM. A wider toe box, and even though I didn't need it, they feel roomier. I didn't care about the colors, but they are awesome too and don't show dirt when I'm in the rain (or the fact they just aerated the neighborhood and the stuff is all over the roads and sidewalks). The laces stay tied thru and thru. There was NO breaking..took them out for 7 miles right off the bat and no regrets. I haven't need the orthotics yet since they are new;, but the old version fit fine when I needed to insert. Looking to buy another pair just incase they sell out!
Best Uses
Saucony Hurricanes and Asics Gel Kayanos have been my go-to running shoes in the past. I'm a 120 pound woman in my fifties. I like a shoe with cushioned stability. I've been injured in the past which was caused by over-pronation. The 1260 v4 was written up in Runners World, so I decided to try them. On my first run in them I had to stop and relace as the toe box was rubbing on the tops of my big toes. They were bleeding after 5k. For subsequent runs I tried different lacing patterns and 3 different thicknesses of socks. No go. The other problem I had was major heel slippage.I didn't notice it as much when I ran as I did when I walked. They also made a squeaking noise each time my foot hit the ground. I gave them 4 stars because they are a great shoe and am sure they would work for you if they fit. They have a very cushioned ride, which is why I tried everything to make them work. But since they didn't, the awesome people at Roadrunner set me up with a pair of Brooks Transcends. Love the 90-day trial!
Best Uses
When lifting this shoe out of the box, I was a little disappointed because I immediately noticed it was heavier than the previous model. I was not expecting this, but I guess I should have checked out the shoe weight before ordering. At any rate, the shoe still provides top tier support without bulk which is what I need to stay injury-free with my flat feet, age, and mileage. I have run in them for about 2 weeks and love them, just like their predecessors. My kids say they look cool. The only reason they get 4 instead of 5 stars is the weight gain in the update. If you like that the 1260v3 was a little lighter, you may want to stick with that and save a little cash.
Best Uses
I have worn NB shoes for years but this is one of the best so far.
Best Uses
I have a slightly wide forefoot and am a mild overpronator. I have been running since 1975 and used to do half-marathons; current milage is pretty low, but I still need the right shoe for injury prevention and comfort. Previous versions of the NB1260 were a little skimpy for me and not well-cushioned, so I stuck with my older Saucony Hurricanes. If the (now defunct) final version of the Brooks Trance had been available in widths, that shoe would have been perfect, but alas, the 6.5 was too snug in the toe box and the 7 was a little long. Gel Kayano 20, my current main running shoe, is a very good shoe and the 6.5 W fits me perfectly, but I prefer a slightly more cushioned feel than that shoe provides. This NB 1260v4 has the slightly more cushioned feel that I like and the toe box in the 6.5 wide width is perfect, but my heel slips in this shoe. I have tried multiple patterns of lacing to try and minimize this effect because I want to love these shoes. Also, the shoe seems to lack lateral stability. I wouldn't dare to seriously run in them, not with my 60-year old knees; cannot risk injury. Maybe this shoe should be moved into the cushioned category, not stability. The 1260 v4 would be fine for basic walks with our big dog and for dog play, but the heel-slippage is a problem. Many women need wide toe boxes and narrow heels. Sometimes the manufacturers understand this and sometimes they don't; this time NB did not. For someone whom this shoe fits, it is a great shoe.
Best Uses
Much better than the last version. I have been using this shoe for years and was hoping they would come back with the shoe i have grown to love and NB got it right again. great cushion and comfort. i run 7 days a week and the V4 feels so much better on my feet than the last one. Light enough, yet not flimsy. great arch support. I JUST LOVE THIS SHOE!!

Chocolate Fest was a success
There was plenty of chocolate on hand in Kingsport Saturday afternoon!
And it was just in time for Valentine's Day.
The Chocolate Fest was held at Meadowview Convention Center.
There were vendors set up giving out different samples of chocolate goodies, everything from hot fudge sundae's to chocolate body products.
But it wasn't just about the treats. All proceeds made from ticket sales went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
"We've had a great turnout. Over 30 vendors here, lots of people supporting the Make-A-Wish. helping the kids and helping their wishes come true," says volunteer Cindy Daughtery.
They also had an award ceremony at the end of the day, giving out different prizes to the vendors.

Grep has been acting strangely on one of my systems (Ubuntu Desktop - all my other systems are Ubuntu Server), and I can't figure out why. I created a control file named text that contains the following text:
the following commands work on all of my systems except the problem child:
$ grep grep *
$ grep 'test!!' *
On my problem child grep simply hangs. I have compared .bashrc, .bash_aliases, and even /etc/bash_completion, but I can't find the problem. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

Well, I have to say that Unity is a really nice thing that can save one a dozen of hours on coding (letting instantly work on gameplay). But what's the idea of forcing (EULA) any party, which made over 100k last fiscal year, to purchase Pro instead of using normal edition!?
It feels that this kind of licensing provides hidden benefits to rich guys over me, poor sloven, who can afford buying $3.5k license but obviously will not receive any additional cookies from it.
And, by the way, anyone estimated how much Unity's source + Playstation + Xbox license will cost?

Great to see such great changes for us truckers and the host of great things that are available for us when we are able to stop at Albert Lea. I myself love to eat healthy and I heard they have a great variety of foods that are truly healthy. And the personal I heard are just awsome. Very friendly and outgoing and will help you to find whatever you need if you don't see it on the shelves or in the store areas. Just so happy to see that there are those that really appreciate us that do for others, and to let you guys know we appreciate you for being there. I drive Regional so I do hope I get the chance to stop there and check you place out. Again great article, and you've made my day.

Extra Large
If bigger is better, then the Albert Lea TA is definitely top of the line. The 31-acre complex includes a 22,000-square-foot shop, 29,000-square-foot main building and parking for 305 trucks.
But there's more to the place than wide open spaces, especially after recent renovations to the store. The old phone room and arcade came down and the space now houses a 22-door cooler section. A new coffee bar features multiple flavors, blends and grinds. The two-sided area allows for thermoses to be filled, and has other road-ready amenities.
A renovated cold-beverage bar area has room for even more products, and a new hot-food bar island offers three kinds of soups, a variety of out-of-case merchandise and traditional roller-grill fare.
Two new, three-tiered, reach-in refrigerated cases are filled with a customer favorite, Nick's Meats. They're a local meat market, and have won national championships for their meats. "They are a premium product, and so we're pleased to offer a variety of their items including bacon, brats, jerky and summer sausage," says owner Rocky Trail.
The store overhaul was a $400,000 project, but it's money well spent as far as Trail is concerned.
"The whole area is all beautiful, granite-type counters and first-class cabinetry," Trail says. "The ceiling area now has wood beams and all-LED lighting.
"We also redid everything from the flooring to the plumbing so that the new look carried all the way through."
To your health
A few years ago, Albert Lea, Minn., was chosen to be an AARP/Blue Zone Vitality Project city, which focused on communities where residents were living the longest and worked to support that longevity.
"Our restaurant made changes that made it easy to eat healthier, like adding fresh fruit and side salad as choices to all meals," Trail says. "Positive results of these efforts have been featured in national media, including Nightline, Good Morning America and Newsweek. We get a lot of driver and local traffic along with four-wheelers and these side options are appreciated by all of them."
Let us entertain you
The full-on movie theater boasts reclining seats, surround sound and a 60-inch viewing screen.
National recognition
Last year, USA Today named the travel center "One of the Top Ten Truck Stops to Motor Into."
Next steps
A new, four-bay shop opened in 2005, so there might be one or two more bays added. Bathrooms and showers in the trucker's area are also on the slate for remodeling in the near future.
And, look for bulk DEF to be added at the pump in the next year.
Comments welcome
Trail prides himself on being available to customers. "Drivers pop into our offices because we're right at the beginning of the hall that leads back to the drivers' amenities. And they are more than willing to share their thoughts, good or bad," says Trail. "We're blessed that the vast majority of them are compliments about our people and our site. Our people do a wonderful job of taking care of our customers and the facility."
Good people
"We're a bunch of extroverts, and we pride ourselves on our character and integrity," says Trail. "That's really the foundation of what makes our team so successful."

I'm applying for jobs, and I am frustrated that I haven't yet found a nice 'master list' of thematic programs at various institutes in the coming year. I'm talking about semester-long or year-long programs in a topic, with the aim of assembling a bunch of young mathematicians in field for that length of time.
The ones I have found so far are:
- Random Matrix Theory, Interacting Particle Systems and Integrable Systems (MSRI, Fall 2010)
- Inverse Problems and Applications (MSRI, Fall 2010)
- Free Boundary Problems, Theory and Applications (MSRI, Spring 2011)
- Arithmetic Statistics (MSRI, Spring 2011)
- Asymptotic Geometric Analysis (Fields, Fall 2010)
- Dynamics and Transport in Disordered Systems (Fields, Spring 2011)
- Galois Representations and Automorphic Forms (IAS, Full Year 2010–2011)
And here are other 2011 programs:
- Discrete Geometry and Applications (Fields, second half of 2011)

theres a chance for alot of publicity there
Give us time Saulty. We've just started on this
Is there a chance that you could write something on Walsall for it?
lol, i think we're doing just fine trying to start off the wiki
this is a good morning/night from me guys bye bye until tomorrow
Just the team on FM wiki. I didn't bring up personal opinions on your club, I simply asked you if you would write a page on your club, which you declined to do. Over the course of the season, I agree, Walsall have been better than Crewe and hopefully, if we stay up, we will try and reverse that next season but this season isn't over for us and won't be, as far as I feel, until Leicester visit the Alex in 3 weeks time.
I've updated a thread in the wiki forum. Have a look there if you're interested.
Which one? Old or new?
Old one, the new one isn't needed any more.
OK. Will have a look now. Any chance that we could have a page about OTF Radio on the wiki to raise attention about it?
Will do.
It's a shame about the new bit you've added to the fm wiki forum. A pity that it has come to this tbf.
I've been busy the last few days, and am away from tomorrow until Friday this week. I might be able to write some articles to put up when I get back though. I'm thinking of doing a league guide for Indonesia, probably my favourite league to manage in so far on FM09. I know nothing about it IRL though
Is it really such a good idea to include your date of birth on your user page? I dunno, that struck me as something you definately shouldn't do.
I'm not very well-versed in the Indonesian League myself, but I remember reading in rancer's signup (The Asian one or something) and there was someone who had quite an intimate knowledge of Indonesia.
I am working my way through all of England's stadia and when I have done them, including English Northern Northern League (don't ask), I will post all of them up.
I will post some up tonight and do some linkage for the new stadia page.
Where's Tsigalko?
Anyway, fantastic idea lads, keep that up !
this guy. (At least that's all that came up when I searched Tsigalko on wikipedia )
I would just like to add that I have finished all of the Championship's stadia and some of the BSN etc.
woooooooo keep it up prenfc22 just remember you dont have to The Galpharm Stadium
Doing a big stint adding players including new Man Utd hero Macheda.
Could everyone please have a look at the thread in the wiki forum that stig made earlier. Cheers
Ok, Alan, I am going there right now.

I will add about 30 stadia files tonight
Might do some work on the stubs as well.
KUTGW Rob
Thanks, I have already done the stadia articles. I just need to copy them in.
We should give a life-time ban to this little mut from the wiki.
I need a bit of backing before I can do anything. Tbh, I really am desperate for him to remove our site from his location.
He has been banned for a week from this forum.
He won't be able to remove it until after then?
Unless you ask a mod. I don't know if they can change it though. Presume that they can though.
I'm your backing I'm sure that the others won't mind.
Depends what Alan, Jammy and Jod say aswell.
He's been banned from SI for good Rob.
I'm for a ban for him - he's been given a permanent ban now (fair play to purefun) and personally I don't want to work with people like him on the wiki.
That's fair enough lads, if you feel he should be banned then that's what I shall do
I've put up a poll in the wiki forum.
What's his username btw?
Jimmyriddle iirc.
What will happen with his added material?
You couldn't resist, could ya Jammy?
Saying bad things, on our wiki site.
Was he our mystery man?
Good work guys, the number of articles has increased a fair bit this week I'll try and sort out some of the stubs when I have time.
I know that this is a little off-topic, but what were you warned for Peter?
I might try and sort out some of the stubs as well.
I have just realised that I have still not posted up my stadia articles.
Who actually has a clean record now?
You're disqualified Peter. Huw wasn't allowed in for his warning, so I doubt you'll be. MoQ hardly matters anyway.
Nice little thread though.
Ah well, seems it's Alan's then.
Could someone please PM me the link to the wiki forum. Cheers.
Done, sorry if someone else has done it.
Ooh, unlucky Jammy - you came 3rd
Cheers again lads.
Done a load more pages tonight.
I saw, good job stig
I'll be doing next to nothing on the wiki for the next 5 weeks because of the amount of revision I've piled up against me for my summer exams. I've three months off after that so I guess it's not too bad.
KUTGW lads!
Same here
Same here
It's going to be fun!
What exams have you all got?
I have 8 GCSE exams starting in a month. Haven't started revising yet though.
I've got A2 exams. 7 in June, plus an oral exam next month. So much fun.
I'm Irish so it's all different for me. I just have normal summer exams. They don't matter much, but I'll need to improve to stay in some of my classes.
I did the Irish version of the GCSE's last year. If that's anything to go by, the GCSE's should be fairy easy. Probably not the best idea to compare them though, as far as I know they're fairly different.
I've made a few minor edits and added a some redirects.
Would it be alright if I edited the Real Madrid information, as I think some of it is quite in-accurate, as I have done a file with them recently?
I would do it naturally but I know that it is someones work of these forums I think of the GPTG forum.
Do want you need to Rob. The disclaimer acknowledges this.
Ok thanks. I thought that but I don't want to go changing someone elses work without checking first?
More players added. I've added those whose birthday was April 22 to the wiki. Now for some more FM07 'Stig Crewe Legends' I think .
think i'll have to get on this tonight and update my Fulham page, v9.1.0 so outdated
Great stuff greenio. I changed Philipp Lahm's page name for you stig, you made a slight typo.
Sorry about the delay for the FC United page, but i have had a lot to do recently and i have 9 end of year exams next week, which aren't at the end of the year I'll also do a Dafuge's Challenge page for the Wiki and upload them both when i have the time to do so
Call me Tom Alan
Oh be quiet lads, it is TOM You didn't scare me off, i was just playing FM09 and writing the FCUM and Dafuge's Challenge articles actually

Langgaard's MESSIS: A chat with Flemming Dreisig
- 9 October, 2009
- 1 Comment
After hearing this monumental piece of organ music by Langgaard I simply had to find out more, what better place than to go directly to the artist who took the project on.
Flemming, Can you give us a little background on yourself and your playing?
Coming from a home where there was an understanding and an interest in classical music, I showed an early interest in sound and timbre and in consequence was taught piano from the age of 5. This led later to studying at the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music with a major in piano. Later I switched to a church music education with organ as my main instrument. This education was attractive in preparation for a continued, varied occupation in music, because of the many substitute job possibilities as an organist and the concert challenges provided by the church.
What music inspires you to do what you do?
Already as a child when my preferred composer was J. S. Bach – for instance because of his music's sustained motor dynamics – the ground was laid for what has become a lifestyle for me: playing organ.
Are there any composers that really blow your mind?
If early on it was Bach who impressed me, then in my growing years the classical composers like Beethoven, Brahms and not least, Wagner were a considerable inspiration for my perception and way of approaching the matter of improvisation, which is an indispensable and rather essential discipline for professional church musicians.During a study period in Paris in the early 70s, I met the especially gifted improviser, Pierre Cochereau, at the Notre Dame cathedral, and that meeting became a turning point in my musical perception up to then, by leading to my listening to the cathedral organist's exceptional, daring melodically, harmonically and rhythmically stimulating improvisations.
In the sound Danish musical tradition of the 60s, there were only a few pioneers who had discovered Langgaard's stylistically outdated and therefore rather unknown works, but finally there still remained the possibility of getting to know Langgaard, as through a radio-transmitted shorter version of Messis.
This was my first encounter with Danish romantic music, that at the same time clearly deviated from the well known "Golden Age" composers from the same period: the normally otherwise jovial, well balanced and clear forms of composition contrast here in Langgaard's music with tension, unrest, unexpected lines of development to dramatic climaxes – to once again, in a symphonic tone picture, move towards new, fantastic states of being.
A considerably richer emotional palette than among the other romantic composers for organ. Yes, Langgaard was a romantic deep down, but at the same time he was creative in forms of expression that had a clear modernistic and expressionistic appearance.
Messis is an expression of a continuous "tale told in tones" and as such, makes no attempt to use artistic effects through prevalent classical idioms or traditional knowledge of technical disciplines.
What was your motivation for approaching it in the first place?
For a youth with a tempestuous heart, this music is spontaneously attractive and I harmonized with it in those days, and since then have appropriated Langgaard's universe as my own.
Messis in its foundation is a search away from those chaotic times (there in the 30s) and towards an earlier epoch's ideal of beauty, drawing a divine picture of reality.
What makes this composition important to Danish culture and to the history of Danish music in general?
A characteristic throughout this composition is that "defiance" with which the composer delivers his message. The basic romantic character is regularly marked by reactive, grotesque effects including use of modern and apparently absurd means such as unprepared dynamic jumps, illogical harmonic relations as well as changing measure. With Langgaard, that kind of musical "collage" technique blends into a large formal whole and makes for a symphonic concept that no other Dane – not to say no other European composer – has strived for.
Many of us here in America are just now becoming familiar with Langgaard in a very substantial way; where do you see his works fitting in not only the history of Danish music but of classical music itself?
The fact is Langgaard's music is more actual than ever as a bitter commentary on what we contemporaries are witness to the world over; the global political discord, environmental accidents, natural catastrophes and more, but in spite of it all, also a resonance of beauty, understanding and the dream that sustains our present day. It's true that Langgaard's written reference is the Bible, but his whole outlook on life is more strongly influenced by the expression he encountered in his own times – and in my opinion, it would have most likely become strengthened if he had lived today.
What projects do you have planned for the future?
Gazing into the future, I would like to promote large-format organ compositions like Langgaard's Messis that, within the formal time-horizon parallel to masses and requiems, create possibilities of pushing emotionally deeper into the topic than is the case of shorter musical forms as, for example, the sonata form.
A similar, more recent example could be the French expressionistically inspired composer, Germain Desbonnet's " Symphony Christique" for organ with obligatto mixed final chorus. Poetry, drama and meditative music meet in one work that lifts the soul into a truly optimistic expression.

U.S. Soccer Could Use a Good Crisis
A Loss in Mexico Will Dent World Cup Chances, but Failing to Qualify Has Its Benefits
It's going to happen eventually. The U.S. men's national soccer team is going to stub all 10 of its toes in qualifying and miss out on a World Cup.
It's happened to former world champions England and France and Uruguay, and may happen to the U.S. this year.
And that might not be such a bad thing.
The U.S. team faces Mexico Tuesday (10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, where it has never won a game in World Cup qualifying. A loss in Mexico would likely revive concerns that this side, which has been plagued with injuries, and which has struggled adapting to the approach of its new head coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, isn't good enough to make it through an increasingly competitive regional qualifying tournament.
After opening the 10-game qualifying campaign with an ugly loss in Honduras in February, the Americans came away with a 1-0 win in a Colorado blizzard Friday night against Costa Rica. This hardly warrants a declaration that the ship has been righted. (Costa Rica has filed a protest with FIFA, the sport's governing body, seeking to replay the game because of the snowy conditions.)
Failing to qualify for next year's World Cup in Brazil would be devastating for the U.S. soccer faithful who have watched their side play in every tournament since 1990. But in soccer there's a history of spectacular disappointment leading to spectacular turnaround.
"Failure triggers a reaction," said Andy Roxburgh, sporting director for the New York Red Bulls who formerly served as technical director for UEFA, European soccer's governing body. "When France or England or Germany or another country like that has a failure, they reflect and then they react."
Forgotten in the glow of France's World Cup triumph in 1998 is the country's failure to qualify for the tournament in 1994. That disappointment brought about dramatic changes in how France trained and developed players, a process led by Gerard Houllier, who is currently Roxburgh's boss as the head of global soccer for Red Bull.
Roxburgh said Houllier forced the French soccer establishment to focus more heavily on technical skills, even for elite players as young as 13. By the 1998 tournament, veteran stars had given way to a new generation, led by Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.
In 2004 Klinsmann and his assistant coach, Joachim Loew, took over a Germany team that went winless at the European championship that year and remade a half-century of German strategy, producing a team that played proactively instead of reactively. Germany went on to reach the World Cup semifinals in 2006 and 2010 and the Euro final in 2008.
England failed to qualify for the 2008 Euro and subsequently hired Italian coach Fabio Capello. He was able to convince the Three Lions to break with their traditional 4-4-2 formation and play a far more attacking style. England went 9-1 during 2010 World Cup qualifying and led the continent in scoring.
Now Klinsmann is trying to transform the U.S. squad and is getting pushback at every turn. Landon Donovan, the team's longtime star midfielder, shows little interest in playing for the new coach. A crew of German-born U.S. players who now log substantial minutes for him (Tim Chandler, Jermaine Jones, Fabian Johnson, Danny Williams) are viewed skeptically.
Klinsmann benched longtime captain Carlos Bocanegra in February against Honduras, then dropped him from the roster last week. ESPN analyst and former U.S. national team player Taylor Twellman criticized the decision during the first minutes of the game against Costa Rica, even though Bocanegra, 33, is slowing and got beaten badly for the goal that sent the U.S. home from the 2010 World Cup. In an email Monday, Twellman wrote that Bocanegra's experience could be "invaluable during qualifying."
Klinsmann has argued that change is never easy, and that younger players, such as Bocanegra's replacement, Omar Gonzalez, deserve a chance to prove themselves.
"You only get experience if you play," Klinsmann said last week.
A win in Mexico would silence the critics, but Klinsmann's larger problem may be that he took over the team when no major crisis existed, when the U.S. had recently advanced beyond group play at the 2010 World Cup and made it to the Gold Cup final in 2011.
Truth is, there is probably no quick fix that will vault the U.S. from a second or third-tier soccer nation into the ranks of Spain and Germany. There are likely some terrific young teenage U.S. players, but they need to train differently under a more sophisticated group of youth coaches than currently exists.
Klinsmann is trying to usher in that process as he overhauls the U.S. roster. But to accomplish those goals, he may need a crisis of the sort that would cost him his job.

|Mesothelium cells, with connective tissues.
How exactly does asbestos cause cancer? Well, it's made up of little tiny fibers that people inhale it. These fibers travel into the lungs and stick to its linings, damaging the membrane. Intra-pleural inoculation of asbestos in rats have demonstrated that asbestos cause lesions within the lining, recruiting phagocytes and macrophages to the site of the lesion. The macrophages are part of the immune response, and they eat up cells which have asbestos in them. This in turn damages the macrophages and cause oxidative stress. Additionally, it is thought that smaller asbestos fibers can sometimes become entangled within the chromatin itself in the cell, and disrupt with the process of cellular division by interfering the packing and segregation of chromosomes. After many cycles of cellular division, the DNA damage accumulates. The subsequent damage induces the cell to undergo DNA repair, which is often error-prone. This is how asbestos damages the tissues, ultimately causing lesions to develop into a malignant tumor in the mesothelium.
|Asbestos may interfere with cell division.
The widespread use of asbestos, the long latency period, the exclusive linkage between asbestos and malignant mesothelioma, and the fact that not all companies have enacted proper safety measures have opened the doors for a whole lot of lawsuits. People are seeking compensation, and in 1999, already 2 billion have been award to people. That's 2,000 million. No wonder there are lawyers and attorneys who specialize in mesothelioma cases. Why not? Some mesothelioma lawyers have gotten recoveries of 3 million per victim. It's lucrative since not only is the five year survival rate very low (9%, so what's the point of a structured settlement?) and the treatment expensive, so many people were exposed to asbestos because of the American economy's emphasis on manufacturing (where contact with asbestos is most likely) after World War 2. On top of that, many companies that used asbestos were reluctant to get rid of asbestos, even when they knew the occupational hazards.
If you think you may have mesothelioma because you have the symptoms (weight loss, fever, cough, swelling due to fluid buildup) go get an MRI or a thoracoscopy (where they make an incision and put a camera to look into your chest).
|Pleural mesothelioma tumor grows and effectively "shrinks" lung capacity. It affects 70% of patients.

Gearbox fine when cold. After about 25 mile drive it sticks in some gears, revs up between changing gear. Got oil changed. No difference. 2007 model. 79,000 miles. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I have been having a similar problem especially when decelerating to islands and then accelerating away, the gear box has hesitated and not changed down before accelerating.
I have only done 36,000 miles, so I don't beleive it is the gearbox at all I beleive its the ECU not getting the right torque settings for a particular shift pattern. Last week stopped off at local post office to pick up a parcel and when restarting the car the engine light came on and in limp mode fopr 10 minutes. I stopped the car and restarted and all appeared ok but for the engine light which stayed on for 2 days.
After the initial problem the car has totally changed its driving performance, no hesitation or sticking in gears at all, turbo like acceleration throughout rev range and almost inpercetable changes.
I believe its either a small air leak in the boost line at the front of the engine, a dirty EGR valve or a clogged boost valve near the EGR. Try cleaning with carb cleaner before any drastic gearbox action.
Assuming that you've checked that the oil was of the correct specifications, and that it's at the correct level, there are three main options.

Pain pill law is showing effectiveness
Two years after the state and local governments clamped down on prescription drug abuse, the efforts appear to be working as intended.
A recent report from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement shows the total number of drug-related deaths dropped nearly 9 percent from 2011 to 2012. Deaths where drugs were present dropped from 9,135 in 2011 to 8,330 in 2012.
Deaths of people using oxycodone — a strong opiate available by prescription — declined by a whopping 41 percent. Methadone and hydrocodone deaths also declined, as did deaths related to the class of prescription drugs that include Xanax and Valium.
On the other hand, while cocaine deaths dropped by 9 percent, heroin-related deaths rose 89 percent statewide, from 62 to 117 last year. (The drug itself is particularly deadly. The report says all but 8 percent of deaths in which heroin is involved are overdoses.)
The increased incidence of heroin use was something law enforcement officials had anticipated, and they say it is directly linked to the prescription drug crackdown. When it's harder to get synthetic heroin — oxycodone and the like — prices rise and people turn to other street drugs. That's not all bad. When drug activity is "out in the open like that" it's easier to fight it with traditional methods.
The overall numbers are encouraging, and they clearly reflect the effectiveness of the new laws.
Statewide, the prescription drug monitoring database helps prevent "doctor-shopping." The FDLE also created a prescription drug strike force that attacked the problem of bogus pill mills.
Doctors, hospitals and pharmacies have become much more aware of the problem before they fill a prescription.
The statewide reduction in the crime rate is directly attributable to the reduction in illegal drug activities.
We are seeing safer, healthier communities. It's good to see these laws working as they were intended.

What a great costume, I swanned around in complete comfort in my own jeans, whilst wearing an outfit that was far superior to most others and instantly recognisable. Others were sweating profusely, their facepaints melting off their faces and tripping over their oversized feet. I'm a size 40 chest and it fitted me fine. Buy this.

It's kind of a big deal, turning 16. So, I knew we needed to throw a big party. And since Grant has always been a little crazy about superheroes, I knew what I had to do. I know many of you have little boys {or big boys} who also dream of saving the world while wearing a mask and cape, so I'm sharing our day with you...
One of the great things about a classic superhero party theme is that you can start with some basic primary colors and shapes just run with them.
And the same red lantern I used on the Christmas shelves fit in just right here as well.
Here's the rear view...
We also had a city skyline photo backdrop made from black foam board with painted windows. Here's a great option for a city backdrop if you'd rather just buy one!
My husband made us some laminated speech bubbles so we could all use a dry erase marker to write our own messages. This dry-erase contact paper applied to cardboard would work great as well!
We had a lot of fun with that!

In the world of heavy metal, there are few names that command as much respect as B.C. Rich, which is interesting, since founder Bernardo Chavez Rico's background is actually in flamenco guitars. It wasn't until a few years after founding his company that he began building electric guitars, which he adorned with unusual finishes inspired by his love of motorcycles. These designs would lay the groundwork for the unmistakable modern-day look of B.C. Rich guitars. B.C. Rich guitars are played by some seriously heavy-hitting musicians, and often times their body shapes are the perfect complement to musical mayhem thats taking place on stage. Artists such as Slayer's Kerry King, Bullet For My Valentine's Matt Tuck, Ginger Wildheart, Lita Ford, and Cannibal Corpse's Pat O'Brien are just a few of the players who shred riff after riff on B.C. Rich guitars.
B.C. Rich guitars definitely rock, that's for certain, and there's definitely one here for you to rip it out on, regardless of your skill level. If you're looking to purchase your very first electric axe, you'll want to have a look at the Red Bevel Warlock Electric Guitar and Amp Pack. Not only does this pack include an iconic Warlock guitar, it also features the "Insinerator" amp for you to crank up and rock out on. With two BDSM humbucker pickups, this Warlock offers truly menacing tones you'll definitely be throwing up the horns for.
If, on the other hand, you're already an established player who is looking to upgrade to a seriously killer guitar, check out the Pro X Custom Special X3 Mockingbird Electric Guitar. This Mockingbird doesn't just sing, it screams with triple B.C. Rich BDSM pickups and strategically placed 3-way pickup toggle switch. With a limited edition quilted maple top, it's safe to say this is definitely a rare bird.
Maybe you're looking to sound just like rock Goddess Lita Ford? Then look no further than the Lita Ford Signature Warlock Electric Guitar. Designed with input from the lead guitarist of the legendary Runaways, this Warlock (nicknamed "Morice" by Lita) is a total beast. Highlighted by two roaring Seymour Duncan pickups and Lita's iconic axe logo on the body, you'll never find a guitar that looks and sounds as wicked as this, even if you close your eyes forever.
B.C. Rich guitars are staples in the metal world for their bodies that would look as much at home on the battlefield as they do the stage, but looks can only get you so far. With powerful tones that are ideal for shredders everywhere, there's no question about it; if you like your rock to be as hard as possible, you owe it to yourself to plug into a B.C. Rich.
