Product Description
From Library Journal
An elusive damsel in distress and an evasive Church Magister involve private investigator Garrett in a complex game of sorcery and murder that lays bare the seamy underside of the city of TunFaire. Set in a world where humans coexist alongside 11 half-breeds, ogres, and trolls, this third outing for the laconic hero of Sweet Silver Blues and Bitter Gold Hearts combines sword and sorcery with hard-boiled detective fiction in a fast-paced adventure that should appeal to fans of both genres.

Domina Willa Dount disappeared with the bulk of the ransom money. Garret did recover some of the ransom, but gave up on finding Dount. Besides, the Stormwarden was hunting her much more relentlessly than he could have.
In this novel, Garrett is taking a vacation from the clients, but Jill Craight gets past Dean and hires him to protect her from break-ins by persons unknown. She refuses to accept his excuses and pays him an exorbitant retainer. Garrett takes the money and sub-contracts the job to Pokey Pigotta.
Later, Magister Peridont -- a big-wig of the Church -- tries to hire him to discover who is behind the mud-slinging among the Orthodox clergy. The scandal has been spreading and may carry over to the Church itself. Garrett listens to the man and begins to like his approach, but turns down the job.
Later, a darkelf half-breed youth gang tries to kill Garrett as he walks toward Morley's place. One of the gang is an albino. He fights them off and takes three knives, then continues on to Morley's.
Garrett gets more than his usual stares when he arrives. Morley takes him upstairs to the office and plants him in front of a mirror. He has blood all over the left side of his face; a breed had gotten in one good cut that he hadn't even noticed.
Morley calls in Puddle and Slade and also invites Saucerhead Tharpe to the office. Garrett explains his ruffled condition, passes around the confiscated knives, and describes the gang. Puddle identifies them as the Vampires led by the albino Snowball. He also mentions that they had been far from their own turf when they attacked Garrett.
Pokey shows up at Morley's place while they are talking. He has come to give back the money that Garrett had paid him. Somebody has given him a better offer. Still, he has already checked out the building and seen the watchers outside. They left when it got dark and went to the Blue Bottle, where they shared a room on the third floor.
In this story, Garrett gives the job of protecting Jill to Saucerhead. The next morning, Jill shows up and demands to know why he has not been personally protecting her. Saucerhead had visited her and explained the transfer of duties. She is very upset, but changed her mind when Garrett offered back the retainer.
After Garrett and Saucerhead walked Jill back to her apartment, Garrett paid a visit to the Sisters of Doom. Garrett lived in the territory of the Travellers, but no longer had any personal contacts with that gang. He explains the situation to Maya, the boss of the Doom -- sounds better than boss of the Sisters -- and then invites her over for supper. Maya has been a special project of Dean and himself for some time now.
When he gets home, Crask has already dropped off a package for Garrett. Crask works for Chado and does minor chores for him when he isn't busy offing people. Chado has heard about the Vampire's hit on Garrett and is not pleased. He had put out the word to lay off Garrett and the Vampires did not listen.
In the package is a note, a snip of colorless hair and four temple coins. Garrett visits the address given in the note and finds three dead members of the Vampire gang and one thoroughly frightened survivor. The living gang member tells everything that he knows.
This story soon becomes even more confusing. Garrett starts to find bodies of men who have been totally castrated. The temple coins point to an outlawed and extinct sect. Sorcerous attacks are made on Chodo Contague's mansion and Garrett's house.
Maya is abducted by a group calling themselves the Sons of Hammond. The Doom track down one of the kidnappers and take Garrett along to their temple. Garrett charges in, is promptly ambushed, and breaks a vial of magical potion among the kidnappers. Things get really confusing about then.
Highly recommended for Cook fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of destructive gods, various magics, and stubborn detectives.
-Arthur W. Jordin
I like how the additional background material fits with the story. For example, we learn more about the Loghyr race (of which the Dead Man from previous books is one) and what they're capable of. But it's not just there for infodumping, it serves a purpose. Further, Garrett's association with underworld kingpin Chodo Contague deepens. Although Garrett is resistant to this association, he also sometimes emphasizes the connection if it will benefit him. (It's similar to Harry Dresden's association with John Marcone in the Dresden Files books, although Glen Cook's book came first!)
We also encounter the city of TunFaire's religious establishment for the first time, as well as youth street gangs and the red light district. And we learn more about laws and customs in the city, including the sanctity of the private home (this was first introduced in a previous book) and the ability of pretty much anyone who wants to, to mint coins. (As an aside, I found Garrett's investigation of some unidentified coinage rather interesting; not entirely sure why, except that the process was wrapped up quickly and cleanly when Garrett finally sets himself to it, and the outcome was interesting -- it was like a little mystery within a mystery.) At any rate, TunFaire is becoming a vibrant place, little by little, but I think everything fits together well and is introduced at an appropriate time (i.e., when it will be important to the plot).
Some familiar characters are back, including a few of Chodo's goons, Dean (the guy who cooks for Garrett), Morley Dotes, and Saucerhead Tharpe. Tinnie, Garrett's sometime love interest, is alluded to though not really present. We also meet at least one new character, Maya, who seems like she'll be sticking around for a couple of future volumes. She doubles as an assistant for Garrett and a damsel in distress in this book. I rather like the mix of vulnerability and toughness she displays, and I'll be interested to see where Cook goes with her. Finally, there's a femme fatale type, known by several different names.
There's not a lot of character development in this book. In one sense, it's because character development is often skewed in first-person POV books, which this is. In another sense, it's because we've already gotten to know Garrett in the previous two books. However, he displays a softer side here than maybe we've seen before and a reluctance to kill when it's not absolutely necessary. He has a conscience, and that makes him more sympathetic.
If you're wondering, yes, start with books 1 and 2. While the mystery is introduced early on and solved by the end of the book, Glen Cook's prose is terse and the best way to figure out all the character relationships is to read the earlier books, since Cook's not fond of repetition (and I thank him for it; I hate reading the same thing over and over again). I find these books easy and quick to read.
Some elements are repeated from previous books. In #1 and #2, Garrett gets himself out of a couple of jams with spells he receives from witches. This time, he gets the spells from a church official, but the effect is the same -- magic from non-sorcerer Garrett to save the day. I like that we're given a bit more background information about the spells here; they seem better planned and less spontaneously-created that way. I'm guessing access to a few key spells will be a staple of the series. While this element gets a little old after awhile, I do enjoy the unintended and/or unexpected results from the use of the spells.
I don't want to spoil the ending, but it's not at all what I expected in terms of the confrontation with the primary villain. I get the sense that Garrett *could* have gone in, guns blazing (figuratively speaking, of course, since the level of technology doesn't include guns), with some secret information from the Dead Man, and made quick work of the enemy. But there were extenuating circumstances and he had to opt for a different approach. It's not necessarily the most exciting approach, but it works, and it's different, and I appreciate it for those reasons.
In the end, I like the slow introduction of new characters and elements of the city, I like the fact that the mystery gets resolved in one book, I like the writing style, and I like how the new elements are interwoven with what we already know and what has happened before. I could do without some of the repetition of story elements (e.g., the spells), but overall, I'm still quite excited about this series. 4.5 stars.
Basically, this story begins when our favorite fantasy P.I. Garrett gets approached by a beautiful damsel in distress named Jill Craight. (Garrett getting hired by a cute chic what are the odds?) Naturally she needs Garrett help for a routine job: find out who has been breaking into her apartment and why.
Sounds pretty easy doesn't it? That is exactly what Garrett believes.
Unfortunately, things immediately get complicated when a Magister Peridont comes by, wanting to hire Garrett to locate some religious relics which have walked away. Since Garrett isn't a religious sort of guy - and he is naturally lazy never forget - he respectfully declines. Of course that doesn't keep things from spiraling downward, and Garrett finds himself being attacked by a gang called the Vampires. This leads our investigator to contact an old friend Maya, who is the leader of a gang called Doom, for advice. From Maya, Garrett learns that his client, Jill, was a former member of Doom and that she is a chronic liar. With Maya in tow and Garrett suitable confused as usual, the story begins in earnest.
What happens next is classic Garrett. He bumbles around without the first clue as to what is going on or who to investigate. He will find a clue here, a dead body there, stumble upon long forgotten bad guys out to murder him, and then spend most of his time drinking beer and attempting not to go home alone. Along the way, a reader is peppered with Garrett's wit and wisdom about people and life without you even realize he is doing it.
Almost anything Glen Cook writes to me is worth reading, and Cold Copper Tears is no exception. Now, it won't give you an epiphany about life, but it will entertain you for more than a few hours. And really isn't that what P.I. books are all about: entertainment.
BTW: At the time of this review, this book is long out of print. It's tough to find anywhere. As an alternative, look around for the SFBC's "The Garrett Files." This book is part of that collection.
Garrett isn't just in trouble, he's dooms if he can't extricate himself from a plot which includes priests, gods, and religious politics. There is a series of climactic struggles as Garrett hunts for whatever is driving the killer priests in their quest for relics and power in TunFaire.
Along with the regular cast, Glen Cook introduces Maya, the head of an all girl street gang who, on a good day, see the worst side of life. Maya will reappear at regular intervals and in many ways is the best possible mate for the rough and tumble Garrett, if he were ever to go looking seriously for a mate, But, to date, he hasn't. Maya is a spark of life and commands on of the larger roles that Cook gives to any woman in this series.
Cold Copper Tears isn't the best of the Garrett tales, but it still meets the high standard Cook works at. New characters and character traits abound and the complicated life in TunFaire unfolds a bit more with each episode. If you like what you've read so far, track down a copy.

Very good product, astaxanthin saves lives and gives a gorgeous tan!
Posted by sweetheart on Jul 23, 2012
It seems to be the best astaxanthin product available in iherb. Astaxanthin is a very powerful antioxidant and unlike most antioxidants it won't have oxidative effect even when taken in larger amounts (most antioxidants may "turn" into oxidants). This product is a must for me as my skin colour is very light: it protects my skin from sunburn and seems to work very well! If your skin burns easily, take astaxanthin and eat a lot of tomatoes to get lycopene: you get a nice tan and don't burn as easily!

I don't think there should be a set key as default, just they have to choose one, maybe with a recomendation of the common keys " ` or alt or mouse button 3 - 4" and a suppress tickbox etc
 and disable next untill they choose one

perhapse on the same screen have an advanced tickbox which them opens autovoice, or something, I too

"4 years of running murmur servers for clans and guilds, this has been the number one problem for getting new users to convert from vent to mumble."

this. having to bring someone over at least once a week and help them setup their mumble so they don't burst everyones ear drums with their breathing/background noise etc. automatic voice activation should not be default, its almost guranteed to lead to a very bad first impression. Alt Gr as default PPT key. absolutly agree. i can't think of anything that uses it.

i would love the ability to force PPT in murmur servers instead of just requesting it [which, lets face it, does nothing].

this is the number one annoying issue on mumble right now.

ptt by default + ability to force ptt only in the murmur config. save my sanity please!

#1079 Push to talk(Forced on Setup)2013-08-13T23:00:43Z2013-08-13T23:00:43ZDaniel MacDonaldhttps://sourceforge.net/u/danboid/https://sourceforge.net19c58cb3f48522de6edff13c23914950b907ed7d

Fully agree!

May I additionally suggest that Alt Gr (aka right alt) be used as the default key for PTT as its not commonly used but still present on most keyboards?

I came here to suggest some better defaults for Mumble and this is #1 most notable of the current poor client defaults. On top of this (PTT being enabled and configured by default), the audio compression quality should be set higher (if not set to full quality) and the audio input amp. should default to 1.0 instead of 20x, which causes most people to start off sounding crappy and distorted.

Mumble would be much more newb friendly with those 3 small tweaks IMO.

support the idea

Push to talk(Forced on Setup)2013-02-10T13:50:49Z2013-02-10T13:50:49ZDarkconhttps://sourceforge.net/u/darkcon/https://sourceforge.net1f2bc27741350f69d4bbad6cb6fdaa741feec982

Requesting push to talk button be forced to be chosen on first setup

and auto voice activation to be left in the configure menu for those who really want to use it, as an overwhelming amount of those newcomers to mumble tend to setup the auto voice activation, and end up breathing/blaring music into the mic, and this has been one of the main hurdles I frenquently have to help people get past when they change from vent to mumble as the configure push to talk setup in configure isn't really clear cut for new people. and as mumble is used mainly for gaming related stuff, most people use push to talk over auto voice activation. many guilds/clans on games demand it, and

its less hassle to have it forced to choose a button on first setup, than it is to have them choose auto, not know what they are doing, set it up wrong, and end up blaring annoying noises over channel constantly than it is to have them choose a simple button, and work out the autoactivation as they get more used to mumble.

4 years of running murmur servers for clans and guilds, this has been the number one problem for getting new users to convert from vent to mumble.

over 3 month survey consisting of 74 new mumble users to my servers, admins reported 57 of them had this problem(this is only counting the ones my admins could be stuffed writting down)

Keep up the great work, mumble is an awesome program, and I'm determined to convert the masses from the crappy bad quality vent, and sub-par teamspeak to mumbles awesomeness, having this fixed will make this mission easy

LAPACK-style algorithms and software for solving the generalized Sylvester equation and estimating the separation between regular matrix pairs
Sylvester equation
The Sylvester equation, commonly encountered in control theory, is the matrix equation of the form where are matrices. are known. The problem is to find .

Matrix (mathematics)
In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices, or less commonly matrixes) is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions. The individual items in a matrix are called its elements or entries. An example of a matrix with six elements is Matrices of the same size can be added or subtracted element by element. The rule for matrix multiplication is more complicated, and two matrices can be multiplied only when the number of columns in the first equals the number of rows in the second.
more from Wikipedia
An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions. In modern notation, this is written by placing the expressions on either side of an equals sign (=), for example asserts that x+3 is equal to 5. The = symbol was invented by Robert Recorde (1510¿), who considered that nothing could be more equal than parallel straight lines with the same length.

Transfer-matrix method
In physics and mathematics, the transfer-matrix method is a general technique for solving problems in statistical mechanics. The basic idea is to write the partition function in the form where v0 and vN are vectors of dimension p and the pxp matrices Wk are the so-called transfer matrices. In some cases, particularly for cyclic systems, the partition function may be written more simply as where "tr" denotes the matrix trace.

This article is about the transpose of a matrix.
more from Wikipedia
Eigendecomposition of a matrix
In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, eigendecomposition or sometimes spectral decomposition is the factorization of a matrix into a canonical form, whereby the matrix is represented in terms of its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Only diagonalizable matrices can be factorized in this way.

Pretty cafe just before the causeway with really friendly owner. Chance to see the excellent chocolate being made. Nice on a sunny day.
Thought that we might enjoy a cream tea on Sark but we were disappointed with the one we had here. The scones were fresh (still hot) but they might have had a little more fruit in. The cream had the watery consistency of that which comes out of a can. The jam was good but, like the cream, was in...
Great cream tea and superb chocolate. Definitely worth the walk. Unless you are in a hurry it is a nice garden in which to sit and take in the tranquility of the island.
The fact that I am a choc-o-holic aside, Caragh Chocolates was a delight, we stopped for a coffee after an epic explore of Little Sark and the climb back up La Coupee, coffee then became coffee and cake and a purchase of some of the delicious chocolates... As we sat and basked in the sunshine we were asked if we...
We briefly stopped for a drink and a slice of cake. We were so happy to dig into a triple layer chocolate slice and it was chocolate heaven. We bought some praline chocolate to try later and it was very good too. The only thing that let it down was the really slow service. Nice break anyway.
Although not very large nor with a huge selection, this shop is well worth a quick stop. The staff are very friendly and you can watch the chocolates being made. By all means, try a Sark Cream chocolate among all the other unusual varieties
On arrival in Sark the first thing to do is to stock up on Caragh chocolates. Sad they are not doing big buttons and upset that they are not doing lunches this year. Massive upset that they think swimming in their pool is worth £10 a day!
But there is no way anyone can pass by without stopping to buy...
Caragh chocolates, widely available on the island, are fine, similar to Thorntons, with the added value of a visit to the place where they're made, and sometimes they're making them while you're there.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the cafe, yet surely the same quality theme should prevail? The 'Millionaire's shortbread' had a thin layer of something that...
We stopped here while cycling to Little Sark having been drawn by the 'delicious lunches' board outside. On entering we were told that 'actually we're not doing lunches, just tea or coffee and cake'. I didn't like the look of it but having arrived I thought we may as well have tea and cake then. We selected a flapjack, a...
Sark is idyllic. A wander down the spine road is perfectly rewarded by the best victoria sponge on the planet. World beating chocolates to go are irresistible. Worth every step back to the hotel.

dont know much about the sports yet
I did not take advantage of the gym as much as I should have or the club sports, but the games that I did go to there was clearly a lot of energy going on throughout the gym
Our boys basketball team is great and everyone attends but I just wish the students at the school would support the other sports
The school receives wonderful fan support from the students and others. the teams perform at their highest level and there is plenty of school spirit as well.
The school spirit is very high. Basketball and rugby have big turn outs.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Since Iona is a very small school, the sports program does exceptionally well. Iona has 21 NCAA Division I teams and has had several nationally-ranked teams in the past, even if the basketball team receives the most school spirit. All of the home games are right on campus, and the team receives tremendous support from the New Rochelle community. Typically, students go to the games and then go to the bars after to party. Tickets for all sporting events are free for students, and the only ticket that's difficult to get is when basketball sells out.
There are many intramural sports with which to get involved, as Iona offers a variety of sports. There is basketball, handball, wiffle ball, flag football, indoor soccer, volleyball, badminton, and ultimate Frisbee. The facilities are accessible and up-to-date. Students are allowed to lounge or play on the soccer field when it is open. There are also two courts for pick-up games of basketball along with a gym for students. The facilities are on a smaller scale at Iona, which is not a surprise, considering the small size of the College.

Update 17th July:
Just to say, this shampoo is brilliant. Never had such clean hair that felt so soft. No colour has been removed from my hair, and the oily root problem is massively improved - leaving me to go up to 4 days before i need to wash again. So even more impressed with this shampoo. Also, not flyaway and being too clean on mid-lengths to ends, as some shampoos do which help with oily roots. I'll be buying this from now on and trying the conditioner next time.
Further update:
Decided to try this on my dog - being a safe shampoo - with fantastic results! He's never been so clean, soft and shiny with lasting results - and i only did one shampoo. This is by far the best results even on him. I like the fact that one shampoo caters for the whole family, even with our differences.
I tried this shampoo in desperation, because I read about it online.
Boy I'm glad I did. After a few weeks of using it my scalp was so much better.
I've now been using it for about two months, and my scalp is 99% clear. I am going to buy some for my daughter in law now, because she has psoriasis too. That's one Xmas present sorted.
I have had a dry flaky scalp for a few years now and tried many many products. This wasn't the worst, but it didn't make a difference to my itchy flakes. Too drying for my particular scalp problem (whatever that is), back to the drawing board!

I know the expression 'on (someone's) behalf' usually reads or is understood as 'instead of someone' but I'm wondering if it's possible for it to have a benefactive reading, that is, if it can be used to express one has been benefited by somebody else's action. Can anyone help me?

At one time on behalf of and in behalf of meant different things:
About 1800, however, on behalf of began to be used in both senses; and, no doubt in consequence, in behalf of started to fade from use a couple of generations later.
In 1887 the OED called this a "recent use" which it regarded as "the loss of an important distinction"; but the language marches on, callously indifferent to the pain of even her most devoted followers. Today you may use the phrase in either sense.

Give Money a Chance
John Lennon scribbled the lyrics to his anti-Vietnam War song "Give Peace a Chance" on a piece of cardboard during his bed-in protest in Montreal in 1969. At the protest, the Beatle befriended a doe-eyed teenager named Gail Renard, and eventually gave her the handwritten lyrics. The teenager, now all grown up, is preparing to auction off the lyrics, which are estimated to sell for up to a half-million dollars. She talks with Guy Raz.

If you truly don't realize this and have no idea how to read an 8-K, you shouldn't be making investment decisions on your own. The worst thing that can happen as a result of this 8-K is that everything remains as is. The best thing that can happen is warrant holders decide to take the deal and then the outstanding share count will drop by over 600K shares. Today's initial sell-off on release of the 8-K indicates to me that most of the folks in this stock have no clue about what they own. Look at the 8-K as a gift if you weren't in the stock and wanted shares. Merry Christmas !!
There is a scenario in which this is demonstrably good for all shareholders, not just the warrant holders. If MGT has reason to expect a cash windfall in excess of $85 million, this is a brilliant move on the part of the CEO that benefits every single shareholder. That number is actually toward the low end of some of the predictions I have seen re: MGT's lawsuit re: its IP.
See my analysis on iHub.
Simplifying the capital structure would also make it easier to spin off a royalty trust to shareholders (after a prospective settlement) and have MGT transition to an operating company in the online fantasy gaming space (possibly with a casino partner?) .
I looked at this all day and the more I looked, the more I liked it. The CEO could be telegraphing big things here.
One further point - I don't think you file an 8K like this out of the blue just HOPING that a few warrant holders will bite. They almost certainly have floated prospective terms past Hudson and Iroquois and have reason to believe that the 1/3, 2/3, 5/8 structure of this deal is going to be accepted.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
And let me also add that if warrant holders do take the deal, all the pressure that's been on the stock will be eliminated and this thing will absolutely fly. Had the selling pressure in the last 2 weeks not been persistent, we'd already be at $10.00 by now.
That's right - this is much better than the fundraising alternative of issuing shares in a private transaction to raise cash while leaving the warrants in play. In this case the warrants are converted into shares - which would have happened anyway - and the company banks $9.24 million while only exposing shareholders to an additional 500K shares on a fully diluted basis.
I like this move and am anxious to see how the company uses the capital.
Sentiment: Buy

Chocolate Ganache Strawberry Tart
Chocolate filling, chocolate crust, strawberries on top... is this the perfect dessert? Maybe!
Proof that great minds think alike – my friend Fabiola of Not Just Baked was thinking about cornbread today and so was I! This is actually a recipe from a few weekends ago, but I think today's the day to share it.
We had these cornbread muffins with the beef and mushroom chili from a few weeks ago! They were a killer combination.
Here's what you need:
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup milk
1 cup frozen corn
1 seeded, diced jalapeno
1 cup shredded cheddar
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Like all of my muffin recipes, I recommend using the muffin method for these! You'll be mixing things in three groups: liquids/sugars, dry goods and the goodies (cheddar, pepper and corn).
Start by mixing the egg, oil, milk and sugar in one bowl, and the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in another. Add the liquid to the solids and stir until just combined – try to do fewer than 10 stirs. Fold in the cheddar, jalapeno and corn at the end.
Scoop into 12 muffin cups and bake for 15-20 minutes.
I've been on the lookout for a good cornbread/muffin recipe and this one look divine! I will be trying soon! Thanks.

did everyones 1up just reformat?...hmmm i kinda like it
*has a mini dance party*
getting jiggy with it.
I just turned on my laptop and saw the new layout. I like it alot!
what was really wierd is i was in the mddle of fooling around with my page, and BAM! from one screen to the next everything changed! its so much more logical and visually pleasing tho. woot!
to get used to the change.
I actually find it a lot easier to customize pages.
im glad im getting so much feedback, cause Sly: i completly thought it was just my compy too! as to adjusting to the change Sana, i think it will be easy for me, just cause i like the new setup. but for Orang and San..you know actually i have had alot of troble custimizeing my new greetings, i cant for the life of me get pics in there..im sure ill figure it out soon. lol.
Some stuff is cool... gotta get used to the rest.
change is good, lol
you may have to sober it up, seeing as its leaning like a drunkard!
I gotta scroll farther to get to anything....or maybe I'm crazy...
finger...so tired...from scrolling.....lol
it actually promted my to fix my desk pic, which im proud to say, is my first banner like object ever
Everyone likes their new pages....
Still...I think alot of my reservation about it stems from the fact that....
We fear change...
Hopefully it won't be buggy like it used to be, that would suck.
Nate: yeah i just had various pics up for the longest time, i just figured, what the hay, ill give it a whirl, and it turned out alright
fate: change...we fear it...and we cant fight it...anit that ironic?
Link: where did you hear that from? do you have an insider connection? hmmmm? spy!!!! jk..maybe
ckhirs: kill the bugs!!!
That's one of the more obvious abbreviations of my screename...but for some reason...nobody uses it...so thanks for that. For whatever reason everyone calls me "Alucards" (Yes with the "s") I find it odd that they include the s...
Oh we can fight change by the way...kick and scream I say! LIKE A LUNATIC!
i kinda like it, then again i'm never really in that much of a position anymore to change much stuff. I really should get around to redoing my page and such, it's been such a long time since i did anything to it. lol
gammer: if you could, could you message me with how to put pics in to posta and blog and grettings, everytime i try, i end up with a red X...call me a noob if you must...but i cant figure out what im doing wrong with this new format. oh and where is the KH rp?
Fate: im glad you like it! it just seemed to roll off the toung much smoother....kinda like the word lunatic, lol
Tower: yeah you lazy bum! jk, ive been looking for a page change from you for ages, or at least a switch of desktop, or greeting. eh...then again...you can get away with it...youre that cool *cuddles*
thanks very much im always on the lookout for a happenin new club
SD Comic Con is always fun, u should try 2 make it out 2 one of u'r nearby conventions! it's a great experience and u'll see alot cool stuff and meet new people!
but yeah..KH2 is a great game! i'm glad they're expanding the series 2 the smaller consoles, PSP and DS.
i had 2 reformat my page 2 this new look..plus, like U, i had 2 figure out how 2 post pix and stuff..i still haven't figured out how 2 put back my background music w/ this new format.
bmb: cutest sora gif i have ever seen! and you know...im gonna find out when the next one is by me, im tired of waiting! i need comic con!
star: thanks for the heads up!
gamer:yep! thanks for all your help, i think i still have a long way to go, but its finnaly starting to feel like home, i guess i am just a bum for not finishing it yet then...i should really get on that! sorry bout your ps2...may she rest in pieces

FCC-1 Assembled
Last week I got my FCC-1 kit from the Norcal QRP club. It's a nifty little PIC based frequency counter, and is quite inexpensive. It's not very hard to assemble, but I still managed to have a couple of minor problems. Hint to anyone assembling the kit: REMEMBER! The switches are soldered on the wrong (component) side of the board. I thoughtlessly soldered the first one on the wrong side, and had to dig out my desoldering tool and resolder it. When I first powered it up, I didn't get a proper display. But a quick inspection of some of the soldered joints for the digital display revealed a couple of pins that looked a bit spotty. A quick touch up with the iron, and voila:
I haven't gotten it hooked to a radio yet, but I will eventually get it hooked to my TenTec 1056 receiver that I've been ranting on about for the last week or so. I also need to find a good case to mount it in (I don't think there is a good place to mount it in the TenTec case, and besides, I might want to move this counter around as I complete other projects.
Technorati Tags: Amateur Radio, FCC-1 Frequency Counter
Addendum: I couldn't resist actually wiring it into my TenTec 1056 receiver, even though I didn't have the proper coax or connectors. The good news, it appears to work! Woohoo!

Apple iPod nano
Apple's smallest, cheapest iPod gets a bigger screen and nifty built-in features
- Thinner than the previous nano
- Built in Bluetooth, pedometer, Lightning
- Larger multitouch display
- We'll soon find out
Bottom Line
Apple's refresh of the iPod nano brings a larger, longer screen, a revamped iOS-esque interface, and some integrated features that should cement the nano's position as the media player of choice for fitness junkies, gadget lovers and budget-minded buyers.
Price$ 219.00 (AUD)
It's not as popular as the iPhone 5, and it's not as exciting as the iPod touch, but the new Apple iPod nano deserves its time in the sun: it's the thinnest iPod ever, and has the largest display ever used in this particular pint-sized media player.
The new iPod nano's screen is 2.5 inches in size in a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. It's multi-touch, which should mean touchscreen commands like swiping and pinching work properly.
It's got a redesigned operating system that isn't quite iOS 6. Like the last nano, it runs a cut-down version that looks familiar, but doesn't have the same functionality as the full-fat version you see on the iPod touch and iPhone. It's changed to a rounded icon layout, and the etching on the home button changes from a round-cornered-square to a circle too.
It's in built-in convenience features that the iPod nano makes its biggest steps forward. It's got integrated Bluetooth for syncing the appropriate wireless headphones, or portable speaker systems and car stereos. The integrated pedometer and Nike+ support means it's a good tool for keeping track of your daily fitness — although you won't be able to wear it like a watch like the old model.
It's got the longest battery life of any nano, despite the big screen and extra features. 30 hours of life is Apple's quoted figure for music playback. The new iPod nano comes in seven colours — cyan, green, yellow, pink, purple, white, and black.
The new iPod nano will cost $219 for the 16GB model and $279 for the 32GB model.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Jones returns to Drake for shuttle hurdle relay
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Lolo Jones has decided to run the Drake Relays after waffling on a return to her hometown meet a year ago.
But rather than compete in the high-profile 100-meter hurdles, Jones will make her transition from the bobsled back to the blue oval in a much more relaxed event.
The two-time Olympic hurdler and 2014 Sochi Games bobsledder will take it relatively easy Friday night when she competes in the shuttle hurdle relay.
Jones will be missing out on quite the main event -- one she has lost four times in a row at Drake.
The women's 100 hurdles could be the premier race of the 105th Drake Relays despite the absence of Jones, who grew up mere miles from Drake Stadium and its famed blue track.
Defending world champion Bri Rollins and Tiffany Porter -- who won bronze at the worlds in Moscow last year -- will square off against reigning meet champion Queen Harrison and Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells, the respective silver and bronze medalists at the 2012 London Olympics.
On the men's side, the race to watch will likely be the 400.
Drake has lined up the top three medalists from Moscow; gold medalist LaShawn Merritt, Tony McQuay and Luguelin Santos. Recent London Olympics champion Kirani James, who's currently ranked second in the world, will also run in Friday night's sprint.
The men's 110 and 400 hurdles are also among the high-profile events being billed as Moscow rematches -- and both feature impressive fields.
Ryan Wilson, who ran a meet-record 13.20 seconds in 2012, will compete against world record holder Aries Merritt and rising American star Andrew Riley in the 100.
The 400 hurdles field is headlined by defending meet champion Michael Tinsley, the silver medalist in both London and Moscow, and 2012 Olympic champion Felix Sanchez.
Meet officials chose to drum up buzz for this year's high invitational high jumps by holding an exhibition near the meat section of a nearby grocery store.
If the ability to land strong jumps in the shadow of a deli counter is any indication, Inika McPherson and Erik Kynard should be considered the favorites to win Saturday's events at Drake Stadium.
McPherson cleared 6-foot-2 to win Monday's exhibition at a Hy-Vee store in Waukee. But American record-holder Chaunte Howard-Lowe should be tough to beat outdoors, and Brigetta Barrett finished second in London and Moscow.
Though holding an event in a grocery store might seem a bit hokey, Barrett was pleased to see Drake officials go out of their way to attract notoriety for the upcoming meet.
"This is exactly what the sport of track and field needs," Barrett said. "We need to be more spectator-friendly and find ways to draw people in. This is a good step."
Kynard cleared 7-6 indoors on Monday and is a threat to break the meet record of 7-7 held by Brian Brown, the current director of the Drake Relays.
American gold medalist Jen Suhr will compete against Yarisley Silva, the world's top-ranked pole vaulter. Silva cleared 15-11 last year to set a new meet standard.
The meet kicks off with a light schedule Thursday. Titles will be decided in the decathlon, heptathlon and 5,000 and 10,000.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

"Trouble-free shades"
By Carol from MI
I love your company! I have had nothing but problems with Hunter Douglas blinds. And I spent a fortune on them. The designers/interior decorators can have them - I'm sticking with Blindsgalore.View this product
"Great Blinds"
By NYCfam from NYC
The blinds are beautiful & feel very substantial. Much less expensive then the brand I replaced them with and seem of equal quality. Easy install. Quick shipping.View this product
