Somebody told me about using blind rivets (5mm) to attach drywall steel tracks on concrete floor and ceiling. Do that really works?
How good is this compared with bushing and screw?
The thing with using a rivet would be the precision of the drilled hole. Given the right size hole, it would absolutely be strong, (maybe not AS strong) but that hole would need to be drilled to a roundness within about +0.05" of the diameter of the rivet, which I highly doubt you'd be able to accomplish with a hand drill in concrete. Too loose and the rivet doesn't grab. Too tight, the rivet can't even try to grab and will break off before the pin moves.
Screws that are developed to hold in concrete will obviously be better because there's a lot more surface area to grab onto the concrete, and they're more friendly on inconsistent holes due to the depth of the threads.
I would not count on something like that for a real connection. Something like a tapcon would be a much better choice.

To be a Spinning® instructor (coach) means that you are exposed to others, it does not matter what kind of role you have in life when you step in the Spinning room you are a coach responsible for your team. You lead the team towards goals that they have.
What are the qualities of the leaders? What motivates you to become and stay Spinning® instructor.
Coach is a central figure in the process of training. It depends on whether the development process and the results of training will be achieved. Coach needs to have a theoretical knowledge, he must be expert and he needs to know have to forward this knowledge to students. During Spinning® clinic (orientation) you go thru what kind of person Spinning® instructor must be or at least tries to be: friendly, passionate, knowledgeable, communicative, smiling, professional, gives feedback and much more.
We also have different types of coaches: Positive and Negative
Positive coaches:
- Supporter (offers an emotional support)
- Mr. Cold (gives a smart and sensible advice, even when under stress)
- Tourist (gives information , advises to anyone)
- Adviser (explains why something is necessary)
- Doctor (cares for the athlete's health)
- Seller (he motivates without force)
- Insulter uses insults to motivate
- Screamer thinks that success depends on the strength of screaming
- Choker in a crisis situation falls into shock and cannot keep the team together
- Shaking trainer nervous and this is transmitted to the team
- General always the same tactic, no adjustment
- Hero is always in the forefront, everyone knows that he is a coach
- Revenge is superstitious, and in this way leads team
One of the most important things of a good leader is: INTEGRITY. Our words are consistent with the action. The point is not what we do but rather what we are. What we are depends of what we do. Often we want to motivate our members with the tricks, but the effect of such scams is short and shallow. People need to see a model. And you as a coach have to be a role model.
You can ask yourself 3 questions to check your Integrity
1) Are you the same person no matter with whom you are in company?
2) Do you choose what is better for others, even if the other choice for is easier for you?
3) Are you willing to acknowledge and say thanks the efforts of others?
Image is what people think we are, but integrity is what we actually are.
21 qualities of LEADERS
- CHARACTER – Be solid as a rock
- FASCINATING – first impression can seal your destiny
- COMMITMENT - separates dreamers from those who take action
- COMMUNICATION – without communication you will be alone on your road
- PEOPLE FOLLOW CAPEBLE PEOPLE capability is ability to exceed the word
- COURAGE – one courage man represents the majority
- POWER OF FOCUS – the more you focus, the stronger you get
- GENEROSITY – your candle does not loss anything, if you share fire
- GIVING SUGESSTIONS – if you do not want to give suggestions stay at home
- LISTENING – the way to the heart goes through ears
- ENTHUSIASSM – love your live
- POSITIVE APPROACH – if you believe in success, than you will succeed
- JUDGEMENT - away w it unsolved secrets
- SOLVING PROBLEMS – do not allow to have problems with problems
- RELATIONSHIPS – if you get along with people, they will follow you
- RESPONSIBILITY – if you do not dare to pick the ball, you cannot lead the team
- CONFIDENCE : With different skills you cannot hide lack of confidence
- SELFDISCIPLINE – the first person you will lead is YOU
- COURTESY – if you want to progress, first take care of others
- LERANING – if you want lead, you need to learn each day
- VISION- you can achieve , what you can see it unsolved secrets
There is a lot to learn, about you and work on it day by day.
"Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile" Vince Lombardi

The disaster that hit Pakistan in the last days of July is seen to have been caused by heavy monsoon rainfalls that ultimately led to an overflow of its rivers. According to PMD (Pakistan Meteorology Dept) Pakistan experienced heavy rains around the 29th of July, with over 40 cm in Khyber ; 33 cm in Peshawar; 25 cm in Islamabad, whereas the normal monthly rainfall measures up to only 4.6 cm.
The downpour in the north flooded the upper Indus River which led to the bursting of its banks. The Indus, much like the Nile, rises in the highlands, watered by seasonal rains. It is Pakistan's longest river with a length of about 3180 km and the dam on the Indus, the Tarbela Dam, unlike Aswan Dam or Lake Nasser, is not positioned to curtail an overflow. Even though there are various low dams or "barrages" on the Indus these are only capable of directing any overflow into supply canals.
Read more about the Kingdom's assistance to Pakistan in the aftermath of the floods in The Diplomat, the bi-monthly magazine of the Institute of Diplomatic Studies.

"Doomwar" is nowhere near as entertaining as "Siege," but then again, it doesn't set out to be. This is a story that plays from the shadows and foxholes of war.

The Historic Union Club in Cleveland, OH
Watters Brides Style 1026B Falvia & Wtoo Bridesmaids Style 397 in Pewter
From the Bride: Even though I had dreamed about the big day since I was a little girl, I had a hard time finding the perfect dress for our wedding, which combined classic, romantic details with some unexpected, modern twists. But the moment I stepped into the dreamy tulle of my Watters Flavia gown, I knew it was THE dress. I wore it with the lovely vanilla bean satin ribbon for the ceremony and switched to a vintage inspired crystal belt for the reception. As for the bridesmaids' dresses, it was unanimous - everyone loved the Wtoo 397 in pewter. I just wanted to share a couple pictures and let you know how happy I am to have been a Watters bride. The dresses - and our wedding day - were pure perfection!

Tara Burns Newell '99
Just the Beginning
Tara Burns Newell '99 has always found the world of mergers and acquisitions fast-paced and intriguing. The field allows her to learn about new businesses, negotiate deals, and interact with a host of bright colleagues. When Newell joined Bryan Cave four years ago, M&A became one of her primary practice areas.
But with the recent downturn in global financial markets, she has watched her practice evolve. Newell, now a partner at the firm, continues to do M&A work dealing with distressed assets and bankruptcies, while also taking on as clients three start-up companies—all of which are women-run and technology-focused.
"I think it is a good opportunity now to do things if you have good ideas," says Newell, who holds a master's degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. One company she's working with has developed an application for Apple's iPhone. Another has created a software program for green building design. And the third was the brainchild of two women in their 30s who have decided to launch a travel website catering to young, affluent women. "They're all good ideas," Newell explains, "and there is a need for these things."
All the companies are in their infancy, and Newell says she is working with her clients on risk/reward assessments and general start-up processes. If the businesses succeed, Newell could one day take them public and create lifelong clients. "As a young partner," she says, "I have to concentrate on building a practice and building my skills."

Bennington was named one of the "top 12 non-traditional colleges" by The Huffington Post last week, joining a list that includes Brown, Wesleyan, Sarah Lawrence, the New School, and St. John's College.
The Post cited Bennington's Plan Process—the academic structure by which students design and evaluate their educations—as one of the College's distinguishing features.
"Scattered across the country are colleges where an actual education is paramount, and obtaining that education is often a rigorous and inventive process," The Post wrote. "We call them 'non-traditional colleges,' and they're places where students call the shots."

MARTINS FERRY - There's a cliche that says, "hitting is contagious.
That proved to be true again for Martins Ferry's softball team, which caught the hitting fever on a chilly and damp Monday afternoon, against Steubenville.
The Lady Riders pounded out 15 hits and posted a mercy-rule shortened 13-3 victory in six innings aganst Big Red, avenging a loss from Friday.

MAKING A PLAY — Steubenville Big Red's Carmie Biasi makes a play during Monday's game at Martins Ferry
-- Seth Staskey
"This is the best I've seen us hit the ball," said Ferry head coach Paige Williams. "(The hitting) has been coming from all over the order, too."
Martins Ferry (6-3) jumped out to a 5-0 lead on Big Red in the first three innings. That proved to be plenty for sophomore ace pitcher Shaye DeLeonardis, who sat down the first 10 Steubenville hitters she faced.
DeLeonardis was the beneficiary of solid glove work in those frames. She had just one strikeout in the game. Center fielder Brooklyn Monroe came up with several solid defensive plays on hard-hit Steubenville at-bats.
"Shaye has the confidence that her teammates are going to field the ball and make the plays needed behind her," Williams said. "She always throws a lot better when they do. Shaye's been very consistent and she's thrown a lot of pitches here in the last week."
Steubenville head coach Gus DiMarzio, who watched his team fall for just the second time in 12 games, could do nothing but tip his cap to Martins Ferry.
"We hit the ball hard right at them," DiMarzio said. "As a coach, if you stand there and watch the game, and you're not hitting the ball or hitting little dribblers, you'd be mad. But, how can you complain when you're hitting shots like that? They made the plays, and that's the game."
Big Red got a rally going in the fourth. Senior Mytia Barker delivered the big hit with a two-run home run.
However, Steubenville's momentum was short-lived.
Martins Ferry answered with a six-spot in the home half of the frame. Steubenville got the first two hitters of the inning to ground out without much issue.
"It's always good to know you can rally on two," Williams said. "The order came alive. I saw us rally in the bottom of the seventh to win on Saturday and then to rally with two outs today, you can't complain about those things."
The Lady Riders then broke out the lumber. Hard-hitting sophomore Tyrah King had a RBI double, talented freshman Mercedes McLeod had a RBI single. Katie Webb had a RBI base hit and Krissy Hotlosz drove in two runs with a single.
Webb had a RBI single and Katie Sutherland drove in runs in the sixth to end the game.
McLeod finished with four hits and King added three. Combined, they drove in five and scored four runs.
Webb finished with three singles and a like number of RBI. DeLeonardis had a RBI in the first inning to help her cause.

I'm not talking about pouring a beer--in the context of rinsing or sanitizing bottles, I'm not quite satisfied just holding each bottle upside down while I wait for the glug-glug-glug of water and air taking turns through the bottleneck. So, short of anything destructive (no shotgunning of bottles) what's method will get me through this the fastest?
Swirl the bottle. I like to point the bottle down, and draw a circle with it, so to speak. The centrifugal force of the circular motion pushes the beer to the bottle walls and created a void in the center, where air can enter.
Pros: Seems to be the fastest method I've tried.
Cons: Is the extra energy worth the time savings? Am I really saving time, when I have to start the whirlpool for each bottle? Do I have the coordination to empty one in each hand without breaking bottles?
I'm going with the swirl! It makes a HUGE difference when dumping 6 liter bottles (I put a 5 gallon batch in 3 of these bad-boys):
The reason the swirl works with these is because they're so fat. Now, it doesn't work when you first turn them over. But once about half of the glugging is done, you can muscle a swirl and the liquid tornadoes out of there on the last third!
Might sound like the voice of experience...a friend of mine knows the MillerCoors guy, and these home drafts are not selling very well. So the distributor picks up the bottles, dumps them, and my friend takes out the 'trash', so to speak. And so I get bottles with sour beer that needs oxyclean in the worst way. Then, of course, plenty of rinsing.
How fancy do you want to get? I have a friend that has a low power compressor that he has hooked up to a faucet bottle washer, next to the actual bottle washer. This way, he gets the washing done on one nozzle, and then he's able to force liquid out with the other one.
Pros: Fast and easy once set up and will speed up the entire process
Cons: Expensive and difficult to set up initially.
I myself have never gone to that extreme.
Just bite the bullet and let the water "glug" out. It's the way God intended it.
Use a straw.
Air can enter the bottle through the straw while beer exits through the neck.
Pros: Very efficient
Cons: Need a straw. Must consider sanitation of the straw if this is in the context of sanitizing bottles.
Hold the bottle at enough of an angle that air can get in while water leaves.
Pros: No glugging
Cons: The flow may be slowed by the shallow angle

Lil Wayne publicly apologized to the family of murder victim Emmett Till at a concert in Tennessee after previously upsetting them by referring to his violent death in a song.
The line, from a leaked remix of "Karate Chop" with rapper Future, said he was going to "beat" a female's genitals like Emmett Till, who was 14-years-old when he was beaten, tortured, shot, lynched with barbed wire, attached to the fan of a cotton gin, and thrown into Mississippi's Tallahatchie River for allegedly whistling at a white woman in 1955. His death helped to launch the civil rights movement.
The rapper performed a cleaned-up version of his track during a show in Nashville, last week told audience, "I apologize to the family of Emmett Till."
Lil Wayne previously addressed the controversy in a public statement and insisted he would not mention the Tills in his music ever again, but fell short of delivering an apology.

Just a silly little question which arose in connection with infinite Galois groups and their Krull topology:- can a given abstract group be endowed with distinct, non-homeomorphic, profinite topologies ? (I asked this question several years ago on the Topology Q+A and was told the question is undecidable and has something to do with supercompact cardinals). As I'm not that well-versed as concerns large cardinals etc., could someone verify/elucidate this please ? Thank you in advance ! Stephan.
I have classified some abelian examples: there are uncountably many pairwise non-homeomorphic pro-$p$ topologies that can be placed on the (unrestricted) product of any countable collection of cyclic $p$-groups of unbounded exponent.
The results are presented here, but I am in the process of redrafting http://arxiv.org/abs/1101.3005
As Agol said in a finitely generated profinite group every subgroup of finite index is open. Therefore, the topology is unique and detremined by the algebra. This was first proved by Serre for pro-$p$ groups and eventually Nikolov and Segal proved it for any profinite groups.
Now, take $\mathbb{F}_p[[t]]$ formal power series over a field of $p$-elements and take their its abelian group. Then it is a metric pro-$p$ group which is the same as being countably based at $1$. On the other hand, take a vector space over $\mathbb{F}_p$ of a countable dimension and take its pro-$p$ complition. I am almost sure (so you might want to check the details) that in both cases you have a vector space of dimesnion $2^{\aleph_0}$ so the groups are isomorphic abstractly. But in the first case the topology is countably based at $1$ (and therefore in any points) while it is not countably based at $1$ in the second case.
You can read more about similar situation in Wilson's book on profinite groups on the chapter on free group.

spoiler: Of Course get add a new Teammate as a replacement for Sev. And if IC picked up right where RC left off, The Kashyyyk Invasion could be included as the first mission.
spoiler:Sev's Entirely Vertigo
spoiler:The Search for Sev
spoiler: They already did put RotS enemies in RC. Magna Gaurds ring a bell?
spoiler:LukeKatarn's right, there is a rots enemy in the game. And Aside from Starfighters and Cruisers, I don't think there are all that many other new Sep enemies in ROTS. (At least none that I've heard of/seen. And The Slug tank isn't something I think would really be fightable in RC) I Guess there are those new enemies in the ROTS game but I haven't seen any of them in the movie previews. So I'm not counting them as 'from ROTS'.
spoiler:I was referring to those enemies from the ROTS game we haven't seen, like the Crusher SBDs, Swarm Bots, Crab droid etc.
spoiler:New armor types like the Republic Clone Assassin's or if the commandos will keep their classic T-visor
spoiler: so many spoiler boxes....
Yeah well, those seem like they would be unique to that game. Game-only enemies not seen in the movies don't often span across multiple games. And So far I have seen no sign of those enemies in the movies. Any way, I doubt we would see them in an RC sequel. Just like I doubt we would see the Advanced Dwarf Spider droid from RC in any other game. As to the armor, That is a good question, I would think they would change it to the new armor.
spoiler:the new armor
spoiler:Get with three buddies in an ARC-170 or fly solo in a V-Wing, and for the Separatists, the Vulture Droids and Tri-Fighters, equipped with AI-controlled Buzz Droids and all. Crab Droids, Tank Droids, AT-AP's, AT-RT's, BARC Speeders, Juggernauts... so many awesome vehicles here that could be put into service!
spoiler:....Tank Droids....
spoiler: You mean the Slug Tanks? Not sure if those are the ones you are talking about. (One big tread encompassing the whole body, 2 main cannons, two red eyes)
spoiler:Sev's disappearance was too abrupt; no one knows what happened and Delta squad inevitably wants to investigate. Besides, what they were called away to do at the end didn't sound like something that would take forever (or maybe I'm not remembering correctly. )

Reviewed By: Larry Mastin on 8/8/09
I do a lot of hill climbing and knowing the steepness of hills is an important aspect of gauging the difficult of a climb. Other than the laborious task of measuring distances and elevations on a topo map, there aren't a lot of easy ways to do this. The Sky-Mounti inclinometer is the least expensive and easiest method I've found. Its main limitation is that judging steepness to within one percent is sometimes difficult, since the tick marks on the level are very close together and the bubble shifts slightly with minor accelerations and decelerations. But plus or minus a percent or so, it works great. Alternatively, I've found a good cyclometer/altimeter, the VDO MC 1.0+, that gives percent grade as a readout and seems to work very well. But it costs >$100.

Suppose that I am able to upload a photo to user's album, how can it be set to as Timeline Cover. There are some apps who already doing that like myfbcovers.com and firstcovers.com.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Just like with the profile picture, apps are NOT allowed to set the cover picture (yet?). The websites you linked to just upload the selected image to your wall (inside the application album NOT the cover album) and ask you to set it manually!
I actually just finished up on the same app your working on. You can not set the cover photo with an application at the moment. Facebook used to allow it but quickly removed this option. Now, only the user can set his/her cover from Profile View. I have no idea why, probably security precautions.

You can set a cover photo for a Page by issuing an HTTP POST to '/PAGE_ID/' with a Page Access Token and the following parameters:
after you uploaded the photo to the users album you get the photo id as response. you can then redirect the user to the following link to set that pictures as his cover photo:
he will see his profile with the picture as his cover and two buttons "save cover" or "cancel".
Yes, previously there was a way that our facebook covers application used to do this but they removed it for some reason.

I've Ubuntu 11.10 and my problem is about the touchpad. At the beginning of my computer it's works fine, but after opening an application or a few minutes, it stops working and I have to use a USB mouse. Someone could help me? Thank you very much:)
I had the same problem as well, the only thing that I did was in the terminal:
after that it hasn't been an issue.
There is another command that works, and is perhaps more direct:
The problem is that it is not a permanent solution. I already tried adding psmouse to the /etc/modules file, but the problem is not about the driver not loading, but crashing or something.
Does the unity replacement command work as a "permanent solution"?
If this happents, use Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal and type:
These solutions didn't work for me (running ubuntu 12.10). The thing that did the trick is:
Good luck!
I was sucessful with the wollowing treatment: I plugged in a USB mouse Navigate to the touchpad and mouse settings (top right button -> system settings -> Mouse and Touchpad) I then unchecked the disable mouse when typing option. Reboot.
Worked fine using this since! Perhaps there is some weird mouse locking issue related to this setting?

What is the Biblical definition of "disciple"?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Your definition of a Christian seems a bit arbitrary, but one thing I notice is that the whole thing is based on beliefs. But the word disciple comes from the same root as discipline, which suggests a few things as to its meaning. Discipleship is not about belief, it's about what you do with that belief.
Much of the Sermon on the Mount, which lays out many of the core principles of the Law of the Gospel, is about self-discipline: controlling not only one's actions but one's very thoughts, not allowing anger to take over even when you've been wronged, etc. And in Matthew 16: 24 (and this is also mentioned in Mark and Luke) we see:
So we see that following Christ requires denying oneself, (again with the self-discipline theme,) and taking up their own cross. And this doesn't mean wearing a cross on a necklace! To someone living under Roman rule, carrying your own cross was something that a prisoner condemned to death had to do, and the meaning here is clear. It's an extension of denying yourself: you need to be willing to sacrifice whatever is necessary, even your own life, in service to God's plan in order to be a true disciple of Christ.
In Mark 10:21, when talking to a righteous youth who professes a desire to follow him, Jesus gives a slightly different perspective on this:
Here we see the theme of sacrifice associated even more explicitly with discipleship and taking up one's own cross. It's repeated even more strongly in Luke 14:27-33, with a warning attached:
Jesus makes it clear that he never meant for being a true disciple to be something easy. It's much more than simple belief; it requires full commitment, self-discipline, and a willingness to sacrifice all that we have for his sake.
In order to be a true disciple you must be called. It is the masters role to pick his disciples, call them to follow him and equip them for that role.
Those so called and equipped will go on to do the things @Mason outlined. However just doing those things without having been called and equipped is a) impossible anyway and b) wouldn't make you a "true" disciple, just a mimic.
The definition of "disciple" is one that is taught by God and it is the holy spirit that will teach you.
The definition of a "Christian" is to be like Christ When they saw the apostles doing miracles like Christ they call them "Christ like" which became Christians.

Congratulations happy new year to all at SI, keep up the good work
Congratulations happy new year to all at SI, keep up the good work
Exciting stuff. Well deserved!
Wow, congrats! Well and truly deserved!
Not had the pleasure of meeting Miles in person but i have had banter with him on twitter and he always just seems such a genuine and funny bloke and for all the efforts that he has put into SI over the years its an honour thats well deserved.
Congratulations, Miles. Richly deserved, best wishes from the States.
Thanks once again to everyone for the nice messages. It's been an overwhelming and surreal day so far!
Here's the quote that was given to the press.
"It is very humbling to be awarded such a prestigious accolade for doing something I enjoy so much, and one that enables me to indulge in my passion for football and videogames. I hope to be able to continue working in this fantastic creative industry for many more years to come and try to help it reach even more people.
Whilst honoured to have been recognised in this way, it's really further recognition for the whole team at Sports Interactive around the world, especially after Oliver and Paul Collyer, the founders of SI, received honours last year."
Can I also please take this opportunity to wish all of you a fantastic 2011 - I have a feeling it's going to be a very good, very busy year!
Congrats Sir Miles.
Overly Bugged Edition!?
Just joshing!
Well done, much deserved.
Well done Miles. Give the Queen a good snog from all of us.
Just a point of clarification:
I do not believe that receiving the OBE entitles one to the pre-nom "sir". He is simply Miles [insert middle name(s) here] Jacobson, OBE.
To get "Sir", you have to get the knighthood, IIRC.
Congrats Miles, and hope you stay for a long time yet! can't imagine a preview of a new FM without you. And thank you all at SI for my addiction that is FM! Keep up the good work.
Happy new year!
Congrats, Miles.
I'm not English, so pardon me for asking, is Miles is now Sir Miles ?
No, He's Miles OBE.
well done Miles. Well deserved.
Congratulations Miles, much deserved.
Well done mate I am sure you are very proud and so you should be!
Well done mate .. Celebrate now by getting hammered and happy newyear to all
Very big congratulations.
Fully deserved!
Wow! Congratulations Miles. A real treat, enjoy the rewards of your success. After the hard work, comes the spoils.
What next? An Order of the Garter? A seat in the House of Lords? Hmmm, the opportunities are boundless.
Happy new year, and congratulions Miles
Many congratulations Miles!
Time to change the forum username to 'Miles Jacobson, OBE'?
Whos Miles?
Congratulations Miles, good on you.
Bloody royalists
Outstanding Miles! Well deserved mate.

Congratulations on a well deserved award and recognition of your work.
Well deserved Miles, congratulations to you and all at SI. Keep up the very good work fellas.

Have to say I hate the honours system with an absolute passion, so anyone who gets them (desereved or not) has my sympathy. I often wonder of all the people who get them how many slag the monarchy of yet when receiving an award from ol Elizabeth change their tune. The hypocarcy of it all is farcical!
Congratulations Miles, you're legend!
Miles, this is well deserved after all your hard work. I wish you an excellent 2011.

MILFORD, Kan. -- Memorial Day Weekend is bringing big crowds to Milford Lake.
A survey of Milford Lake public and private camping sites on May 25 found little space available for the Memorial Day weekend.
Some full hook-up RV sites and primitive camping sites were still available at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) School Creek Camping Area.
Milford State Park reported having a few primitive camping sites still available, with all cabins and RV hook-up sites taken.
No RV hook-up sites were available at the (USACE) West Rolling Hills, Farnum Creek or Curtis Creek camping area.
Acorns Resort has a 100% occupancy for cabins and RV hook-up sites, though a few primitive sites are still available.
Thunderbird Marina reported 100% for cabins and RV hook-up sites, though is still accepting primitive campers.
Flagstop Resort stated they had one cabin and three RV hook-up sites available due to cancellations, with few primitive sites available.
"This is great news for Junction City and Geary County. The people visiting Milford Lake spend money on gas, food, and other supplies. The spending contributes to the positive economic growth of the area." stated Connie Hall, Director of the Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Milford Lake has consistently been rated as one of the top outdoor recreational destination in Kansas.

Any idea/guide on modifying the handling?
No, I know the tools.
It's just the modding itself. I love tweaking the cars, just to push them to the furthest in terms of speed and cornering. GTA cars tend to skid during corners. I thought it was inevitable, but looking at the handling.dat, I noticed some really interesting settings.
Tried to modify a bit here and there, but it didn't work out too well. Anyone have any help regarding this?

If you want to increase a vehicle's speed, you should change the "Velocity" for it, for example I changed the Admiral's Handling:

Yea I know that. I'm just stuck at the traction part.
Anyway, I just made some breakthrough today. Finally found out how to keep the car glued to the ground like spiderman.
Anyway, for the benefit of others (Note that this is what I believe to be true. It MAY NOT be so. If you think my information is wrong, then please go ahead and correct me. It's for the benefit of others. ):
The "Force" under Transmission is the pick-up speed, if I'm not wrong. Raising it would increase how fast the car picks up; too much however would cause your car to skid and most likely you'd lose control.
"Velocity" is like the horsepower, I guess. More horsepower, faster it goes.
The Mass & Centre of Mass is quite straightforward; I made my SultanRS 140000.0 with a drag multiplier of 9.0. Anyone can tell me what the drag multiplier is about?
Anyway, the increased mass means the only car that can actually hit and move your car, is the one you modded. I can basically go and top speed on the Highway and every other car just fly when I touch them. Not the most realistic thing ever, but it's useful.
Centre of Mass is just where the CG is. Physics 101. The lower the CG, the more stable it is. I didn't do anything dramatic though. Mine is at 0.0, 0.2, -0.4, for X, Y and Z respectively.
X is the horizontal axis if I'm not wrong- a positive number would mean the CG is on the right, negative on the left. 0 is at the centre. I left it at 0.
Y is the vertical axis: a positive number would mean CG is towards the front, negative towards the back.
Z is the three-dimensional axis: a positive means it's higher, a negative means it's lower. I set this to -0.4, but I'm sure you can set it to 1092384023984 if you want. This is useful because your car flips back easier when it flies in the air, or something like that.
I haven't played much with the traction yet, but I found out something useful.
If you want your car to stick to the ground like a F1 car, increase the Curve Min. Set it to 2.0 - 4.0, depending on your Transmission force & velocity.
My SultanRS's Force is at 0.4, velocity at 300. My Curve Min is only at 2.2. Even at 2.2 it's quite responsive, perhaps overly so.
Next, the Damage tab. I just set everything to 0.0. If you can't figure what this is, don't try modding the car. Kthx.
One very interesting thing I found is the Flags Editor, under the Misc tab.
Not sure what the IS_BUS, IS_VAN do, other than aesthetic purposes. Someone enlighten me?
For me, I just selected the OFFROAD_ABILITY under the Handling Flags. Quite useful.
Once again, this information is as correct as I believe it is. If you find something wrong, feel free to correct me. It's for the benefit of everyone anyway.

Port-Injected Cross-Ram Manifold - Have Your Cross-Ram And Inject It Too!Written by on February 1, 2009 Contributors: Rich Nedbal Building A Port-Injected Cross-Ram Manifold
When most of us talk about Mopars, our discussions often revolve around the "good old days" when cars were simple and we could work on them ourselves. Carb tuning involved a screwdriver, and ignition timing was simply changed by turning the distributor a little bit. While these memories can be fond, what most of us forget is the hassle of filing and setting ignition points, and being stranded when the carburetor's needle and seat valve sticks, flooding the engine with fuel. And if you've ever tried to change the metering circuitry of a carburetor, you know that carbs are not simple at all, containing complex internals that can be quite difficult to modify for optimum fuel metering. For these reasons, auto manufacturers gave up using carburetors on their vehicles many years ago, instead deciding that fuel injection was a more accurate and efficient way to meter fuel.
Although electronic fuel injection has long been used by OEMs, and offers huge improvements in drivability, reliability, and economy when compared to carburetors, there is still hesitation among enthusiasts to use fuel injection. While this can be somewhat blamed on the misguided perception that fuel injection is complex, hard to understand, and hard to install, there are other reasons Mopar enthusiasts don't use fuel injection on their cars. One reason is that there simply aren't a lot of fuel-injection compatible intake manifolds available for Mopars. Sure, simple throttle-body injection systems can bolt onto a four-barrel intake, but that's not what we're talking about. To really see the benefits of fuel injection, the injector needs to be placed directly over the intake port, requiring special provisions in the intake. And while the aftermarket is slowly providing intake manifolds with provisions for port injection, there just isn't much available for Mopar enthusiasts yet. Luckily, Richard Nedbal at FAST Man EFI is solving that problem by modifying existing intakes for port injection, and his latest creation is a Hemi cross-ram intake, with port fuel injection hidden inside.
The Hemi cross-ram is likely one of the most recognized intake manifolds that was ever bolted on a Mopar engine. Available from any Mopar Performance dealer, the cross-ram intake offers good flow, and is relatively low, providing decent hood clearance in most body styles. Once the hood is lifted, the cross-ram also offers the intimidating look of dual-quad carburetion, making it a favorite among gearheads. So when Richard got a call from a customer asking if the Hemi cross-ram could be converted to EFI, and further, could the EFI be hidden so the manifold would look basically stock, his answer was "why not?" Richard stated that the throttle bodies would bolt on top and be hidden by the air cleaners, and the rest of the components should fit inside the intake plenum. As a former computer engineer, and founder of Mopar Engines West, Richard loves a challenge, so he quickly got busy designing a fuel injection system for the cross-ram intake.
Although he'd fabricated and designed EFI systems for various intake manifolds in the past, Richard stated that the cross-ram intake presented a couple of unique issues. First, would the fuel rails, hoses, and fittings fit inside the plenum of the intake without major modification, and second, would the injector wires and connectors stand up to the heat and manifold vacuum of this application? To help resolve these issues, Richard consulted Mike Bolla from Enterprise Motorsports to decide if this was a feasible installation. Mike agreed that with some work it could be done, so together they tackled the job of designing, engineering, and building a port-injected cross-ram intake manifold.
The first step of this process was to carefully measure the intake manifold and the various components of the fuel injection. By performing these calculations, Richard and Mike found that if they placed three injectors per side vertically and one at a slight angle, and by using specially designed fuel rails and a military spec electrical connector, they could likely accomplish their goal of hidden electronic port injection. Follow along and we'll show you how they turned this theory into reality.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
With the covers removed, the crew at FAST Man EFI began by drilling each port of the intake for the fuel injectors. Each injector is placed directly over the intake port from the opposite side.Three injectors per side could be installed vertically, but the design of the intake required that one injector be as a 22-degree angle.A custom bung was then designed for the angled injector. This bung "swallows" the injector and places it in the right portion of the port, at the required depth.Richard found that standard fuel rails could be cut at angles for the end injectors, then machined 1/10 inch vertically to fit inside the intake. If it all works out, the intake covers will hold the fuel rails in place.Though it would have been nice to run the fuel supply or return line from the passenger side of the intake, there will be no room between the firewall and the intake once the engine is in the car. Therefore all the lines and connections are made on the rear of the driver side.With the bung installed, the angled injector is now in the best position allowed by the intake's design.The passenger-side fuel rail is fed by a line from the driver side, through the intake's crossover, to the angled injector at the number two cylinder.
Since there will be wiring inside the intake, a connector had to be found that would withstand the heat and manifold vacuum created by this application. While researching this issue, Richard found a military style connector that utilizes an O-ring for vacuum seal. Even nicer, the connector fit right into one of the factory core plug locations in the intake.With the injectors and IAC installed and the plumbing complete, it's starting to look a little busy. Next the injectors must be wired to the connector.With the plumbing and wiring complete, you can see the fuel injection components fit nicely into the cross-ram. Although they do take up space, these intakes offer plenty of plenum volume so performance shouldn't be compromised.To hold the fuel rails in place, the intake manifold covers were modified on the bottom. The covers will later be bolted in place using the Mopar gaskets and stainless hardware.Standard cross-ram throttle linkage is modified for the throttle bodies, and is compatible with standard Mopar throttle cables.Looking like a factory cross-ram, this intake is clearly a master of disguise. As a unit, it will simply bolt in place and plug into the EFI wiring harness. When installed, improved drivability, reliability, and economy will be dead giveaways that this cross-ram is port injected, not carbureted.Dual four-barrel throttle bodies are used to top this system, but only the passenger side has a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) that's connected to the EFI computer.

Dear Editor, I am writing on behalf of my family and friends to send a personal "thank you" to Anonymous. Over the past three weeks or so, we have been following the local alleged rape case....
Very well said!! I, too, hope justice is served for Jane Doe. The sweetest and best revenge she can seek is to live the very best life she can =)

Football is a GAME....life is REAL. When you do what these players did, you should face REAL consequences, and not a wrist slap from a juvenile court.
