I just bought a ASUS Sabertooth 990FX TUF Series Motherboard which says it supports memory "4 x DIMM Max. 32GB DDR3" but when I look into its manual, none of the supported memory modules say anything with 8GB x 4, just other configurations like e.g. 4 GB x 2. My math might be wrong, but I'd think that 32 GB means it should be able to support 8GB x 4. So what does "4 x DIMM Max. 32GB DDR3" really mean? Does it mean it should be able to support 8GB DIMMs?
This means your motherboard accepts up to 32GB of memory. The BIOS is designed to allow up to 32GB, but has not been formally tested for this amount of memory.
If you are running Windows, make sure you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate 64-bit (Home Premium can only accept 16GB), and as C2940680 noted, you may want to disable or manually limit the size of the pagefile, as it will be very large by default. Recent Linux kernels should have no trouble accessing this amount of memory.
Your motherboard will allow you to use UP TO 32GB RAM. However, your BIOS and OS will determine the true usability. Make sure you have latest BIOS update, and you have 64-bit OS (Windows 7-64bit, or *NUX x86_64).
For Linux, try something that will work out of ox, like Mint/Ubuntu or Knoppix, or especially kernel 3.2 and above.
You could scale down to 16GB RAM if your PC never uses more than 4GB. Remember, for Windows, you will create 32*1.5 = 48GB PAGEFILE.SYS. To prevent that, DISABLE PAGEFILE.
Hope this helps.

One of the 10 women in the elite section, Maier punctured on
the cycle leg at Albert Town, having made up about eight of
the 13 minutes she was down on the second and third
place-getters after a ''terrible'' swim time.
While she had a spare tube, it was not fitted with the right
extension valve for the rims on her bike and she needed tools
she was not carrying.
Unable to be assisted by onlookers, it took her eight minutes
to get her bike back on the road.
By then she had ''lost the plot'' in terms of her race
''It was a very mind-draining thing,'' Maier said yesterday,
although ironically - puncture aside - she had her ''best
ride ever''.
She followed that up with her fastest Challenge Wanaka run,
taking just one minute more than winner Gina Crawford to
complete the marathon.
She finished fourth overall, about seven minutes behind
third-placed Jo Lawn and about 27 minutes behind Crawford.
Maier has an adventure run coming up in Queenstown, but is
now eyeing the Taupo Ironman in March.

Ah, babies - they're so adorable, right up until something gross happens. Then you just keep adoring them with a revolted grimace on your face.

- Live reading with me (playing Princess Celestia) and EverlastingJoy (playing the other roles) on Babble with Bronies #64 - starts around the 14:00 mark.
Cute mommy twilight
Checking over the "official" MLP comic on how they met, I really like this one much more. This version of Celestia knows better than to dump motherhood onto a six-year old and later in life question why she hasn't made any friends yet.
Cute moments everywhere!
Babies... XD
awwww and ew...but awww...i like how you followed what happened in the show
Why would she keep his egg shell?
This is beautiful work muffinshire, honestly, it's bringing tears to my eyes. Thank you for making this and please keep up the good work.
WRONG I know it's your own story but spike hatched in one of her exam and she saw dash's rainboom and had a magic spike and she got her cutie mark
Muffinshire sure knows about this - he even references the rainboom in the second part of the comic. (The comic takes place after the entrance exam, when Twilight begins to attend the school.)
I think this story comes after she hatched the egg at her exam
spikey wikey!
I love the little tear up by Celestia as she remembered her sister, and baby Spike is just adorable. Twilight acting like his mom was done perfectly. Added to favorites.
I like the symbolism of the Luna/Celestia image behind Celestia's head in the panel where she mentions truth in stories. Very clever! You have a really awesome understanding of panel composition. ^^ I may need to study these!
just realized the mobile.
Sun Moon Heart Star.
Sun Moon Heart Star.
Whoever made that must have amazing foresight, considering that Twi won't be a princess for another decade or more...
oh dear...
and widdle spiky is soooo cuuuute!
and widdle spiky is soooo cuuuute!
Uh... question: what does that doll have to do with Celestia?
I bet that Smarty Pants belonged to Luna or Celestia at some point.
Me too! No wonder she looked so sadly upon the doll... I wonder when she gave it to Twily though? or maybe Celestia had a similar one?
Headcannons! HEADCANNONS EVERYWHERE!!
Twilght end face doe XD
So true!!
I'm confused. Is this after Twilight had hatched Spike's egg to get approved into the school? (Since that's the canon story, what I can remember at least.)
Yes, her test for entry into the school was to hatch Spike's egg. This is set several weeks later, on the day she actually starts at the school.
DAAAAAAAW!! Baby Spike is even cuter then Filly twilight
Baby Spike! And some more fun stuff!
whats with the tears from Celestia? It's kinda like it was hers before
That page is so adorable!
I hope we see Spike again.
Your comics make me laugh and have a cuteness overrode
I love your comics
I just read a series where there's a DRAGON called Glory. Coinky-dink?
That's the first time I've seen a canonical (sort-of) Celestia blush
i hope that smarty pants thing is explained
It will be! Not until much later in the story, but I do have it planned that far ahead.
Is Glory the Dragon based off Glory of the Dragon Soul Raider?
Glory is a pony from the first generation of MLP. The illustration in the book is even based on the G1 style.
Ah, love how you put little stuff like that in these comics .
BTW, what program did you use to make the comic.
I will not believe you if you said MS Paint... is it MS Paint?

"Basaic Isle Royale National Park/Houghton Page" Top 5 Page for this destination Houghton by Basaic
Houghton Travel Guide: 92 reviews and 185 photos
The only visitors center for Isle Royale National Park on the mainland is in the town of Houghton, Michigan. This is also one of the three places to get commercial boat transportation to the island with Copper Harbor, Michigan and Grand Portage, Minnesota being the others. You can get brochures and maps of the park at the visitors center, pay any fees and inquire about transportation. This is one of the few centers I have been to with almost no nice displays about the area.
Please Note: The tourist season for Isle Royale is very limited. The commercial boats mostly run between 1 July and just after Labor Day Weekend (early September). After that take the seaplane or your own boat.
Access to the island is via the: Isle Royale Queen IV a 3 hour/56 mile trip from Copper Harbor, Michigan to Rock Harbor; Ranger III a 6 hour/73 mile trip (and a more scenic route); and the Voyageur II (2 hours) or the Wenonah (3 hours) for the 22 mile trip to Windigo. There are visitors centers at both Rock Harbor and Windigo. (Note that these times and distances are one way). There are meals and lodging only at Rock Harbor; but there are primitive campsites and overnight docking at various points on the island. One place not to miss, for me at least, is Ryan Island, which is the largest island in the largest lake contained on the largest island in the largest inland lake in the world. You can also get to the island by a 30 minute seaplane ride if you want to spend around $300 a person.
There are interesting underwater things to see here too.
Another place of interest in the town of Houghton is DEE Stadium, which is the birthplace of prefessional hockey.

Suomi is interesting for several reasons. First, the building was built in 1869 and is very attractive. This is also the... more travel advice

Suspected tornado damages homes, port
Published: Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 12:00 a.m.
HOUMA — A suspected tornado snapped trees and damaged homes Saturday in Thibodaux while strong winds ripped docks from their moorings at the Port of Terrebonne and downed power lines near Mathews and Lockport.
The storm barreled through just before 1 p.m., according to emergency officials and a meteorologist at the National Weather Service.
No injuries were reported in connection with the weather system locally. But at least one person was killed and almost a dozen injured in the southwestern Louisiana town of Rayne earlier in the day, when the storms passed through there.
On Talbot Avenue and Badt Avenue in Thibodaux, limbs broke from pine trees and gutters were ripped off buildings, said Ricky Ross, spokesman for the city Police Department, though there was no major damage.
The city's worst damage appeared to be on Duplantis Street, just west of Main Street, in Lafourche near the Terrebonne Parish boundary. At least a half dozen houses suffered roof damage there. A felled tree decimated a mobile home under renovation, and a large van parked near a sugar-cane field was overturned.
A National Weather Service meteorologist said the Duplantis Street damage was likely due to a tornado, but that won't be official until field workers examine the scene. It could also have been caused by strong straight-line winds, said meteorologist Shawn O'Neil.
"It is possibly a tornado; there is certainly enough damage," O'Neil said. "We had a trailer that was completely wiped out, trees snapped in half, shingles blown off roofs and a truck on its side."
Marlene Gaudet, 48, said she was watching television in her home at 120 Duplantis St. near West Main Street when she heard a loud noise.
"I could hear the wind blowing and the rain coming down and then a loud noise," the homemaker said. "When I went to look, I saw that our camper was pushed into the garage and then hit into my house."
Gaudet and her husband, Paul, were remodeling a mobile home on their property, was which destroyed when a tree fell onto it.
Another resident of Duplantis Street, Lawrence Payne, said he was remodeling a step-van on land beside a cane field. The truck was toppled onto its side; neighbors told Payne they saw the truck spinning briefly before it fell.
Scattered power outages were reported throughout Thibodaux, Napoleonville, Raceland and surrounding communities, a statement from Entergy says. Power in most cases was expected to have been restored by 8 p.m.
"We were watching the Weather Channel," said 12-year-old Andrew Hall. "Then there was this noise and our dad told us to go lay down in the hallway. The house was shaking."
His sister, 7-year-old Isabella Nail, said she was frightened.
"I heard banging and heard things just flying," she said. "It felt like it feels watching a scary movie."
Cable-television and power crews were working on repairs as sunset neared. Blue tarpaulins were stretched across damaged roofs, and neighbors pitched in to help each other clean debris.
The Port of Terrebonne suffered downed power lines and damage to four floating drydocks, which were torn away by winds, Port Director David Rabalais said, adding that the boats being worked on at the docks were not damaged.

Ask people what they remember about Peter Sellers, and if they know him at
all they'll talk about the Pink Panther films or The Goon Show. In other
words, he's forever labelled as a comic actor. In "Hoffman", Sellers plays
against type in a straight dramatic performance - and, to be blunt, he's
"Hoffman" was ignored at the box office upon its' release in 1970, and
never got a proper US release. Even today, with a million films on VHS and
DVD, you'll have a hard job finding a copy. Audiences were clearly not
prepared to sit through a film in which Peter Sellers didn't play four
characters, fly through the air and crash painfully, or mask himself in
make-up or funny voices. That "Hoffman" is essentially a filmed stage play
with only four characters, and is largely just Sellers and Sinead Cusack
talking for two hours, also clearly worked against its' success.
This is unfortunate, as here we have what is arguably Sellers' best performance. Sellers essentially plays himself...pale, somewhat gaunt, well-spoken, with an undeniable air of restrained madness about him. Sellers' Benjamin Hoffman is a hollow man, a man who has no existence outside of the things he remembers - and the unattainable image of the woman he adores from afar. Fate plays into Hoffman's hands when he obtains blackmail material on the woman's fiance...his price for his silence: a week alone with her in his flat. Sinead Cusack plays this prisoner of Hoffman's desire brilliantly, alternating between fiery Celtic indignation and a childlike quality. Though she can leave Hoffman's clutches at any time, she can never bring herself to do so...firstly out of fear for her future husband, and later because she finds herself captivated by the strangeness of her urbane blackmailer. Sellers is the very picture of quiet madness in this movie, never raising his voice and never displaying any hint of the obsessions that drive him in an overt manner. Hoffman is not a rapist, nor a maniac, but rather a emotional vampire who draws life from the innocence and youth of his 'guest'. Hoffman takes her to dinner, for walks in the park, to a department store, (in one notable scene, Cusack is pictured standing beneath sides of beef - a metaphor almost too unsubtle to work properly. But it does), he treats her with the utmost respect, he never so much as kisses her. In short, he tries to make her love him even though his every utterance and opinion arouse little but hatred in her. Hoffman is clearly goading her with his studied misogyny and his overbearing attempts to make her feel 'at home', fearing that if he ever became a person to her, or she to him, the spell he has cast would crack. And dreams are all Hoffman has, all he knows. Sellers' wraithlike appearance reinforces the vampiric quality of Hoffman...a man who has had all joy and wonder sucked out of his life by crushing domesticity. The Dracula metaphor is explored further in Hoffman's comments about wanting to consume his captive, and in a scene where she bares his neck to him. In short, "Hoffman" is a neglected gem, one of the few movies in which Sellers could escape his clownish characters and simply be Peter Sellers, actor. Or perhaps, Hoffman IS Sellers...? Jeremy Bulloch, best known as Boba Fett in the Star Wars series, plays the little-seen fiance. Also of note is the rather excellent score, composed by Ron Grainer. Grainer, of course, gave the world the best TV theme tune of all time..."Doctor Who". Matt Munro, who sang the title tune to From Russia With Love, does the honours here also with the melancholy song 'If There Ever Is A Next Time'. No Sellers fan should miss this movie. A masterpiece.

Real World System Performance – Crysis 3 Alpha
Testing was performed at 1920×1080 with High in-game settings.
First up for our gaming tests is the recently released multiplayer Alpha for Crysis 3. With our settings all on high we are able to game without issue on the P722 and it was hard not to be impressed by the visual quality that the system produced. Here is an example of the image quality when playing at our tested settings:

At the apex of Business Intelligence is BI-based Modeling and Optimization (BIMO), a set of technologies for delivering better decision-making options to executives and managers. BI-based Modeling and Optimization combines the rich processed information provided from BI tools and data marts and feeds them into modeling and optimization tools to arrive at the best possible options or courses of action in a problem situation. These decision situations can be operational -- determining the best way to run a refinery given record breaking oil prices, for example. Or the problem can be strategic -- determining the best portfolio of capital projects given BI-based market projections and costing estimates.
The key attractions of BIMO are that it can deliver outstanding return on investment both in day-to-day operations as well as one-time decisions. In addition, BIMO methods really help to refine and discipline the thinking and processes around decision making. In fact, BIMO tends to produce better returns in high-flux, high-change periods both operationally and strategically. Unfortunately, many BIMO systems are quietly hidden away, as corporate executives do not want to reveal their competitive advantage-producing systems. Think of the optimizers in supply chain and production scheduling packages: In some cases the optimizing tools are so elegantly embedded that staff do not know the power of the tool harnessed for their benefit. Rightfully, users view the tool as a total BI-based optimizing system.
Traditionally, there have been three major risks associated with delivering consistent, high-quality BIMO results. First, the underlying disciplines of linear programming, network modeling and non-linear optimization are not only difficult and complex but also different in methodology among themselves. Second, getting expertise can be expensive because, as often as not, linear programming experts cannot help with non-linear math optimization problems. Sometimes the data and algorithms can be shared; but the underlying models and solution methods are distinct, even disjointed. (Methods used for linear programming are very different among themselves as well as from those used for non-linear optimization.)
But the most challenging problem for BIMO is marshaling together all the data sources necessary to support the models. What can make BIMO data-handling even more demanding is the fact that BIMO inputs frequently have to go through several stages of processing as they filter up the BI stack: ETL, consolidation, analysis and forecasting. Fortunately, the quiet revolution in BI -- over the past 10 years BI tools have become easier to use, better integrated, and broadly available -- has provided improved data warehousing, ETL, and analytics at lower cost and with greater ease of use. In addition, new technologies such as XML, business process management and Web services further ease the data-marshaling burden. The result is that BIMO weathered the dot-com-induced IT slump with a solid 3-9% annual growth rate and diversified new offerings. So let's take a look at the BIMO vendors.

Hey Michigan State and Iowa, how does it feel to wake up and have the bed full of your own crap?
I agree there should be an 8 team playoff. Now is a a bad time for Ohio State fans to argue that premise. Bring on the Rose Bowl !
fivethirtyeight.com has us as 54% likely to make the playoff if we beat Michigan even if MSU beats Penn State!
Lets Have some O now!
It was interesting to see that the stadium itself is pretty much just the seats, the press box and the field, there is not a concourse to speak of, almost all of the concession area is outside the structure of the stadium, in a fenced in area that surrounds the stadium. I'm sure this is due to LA's excellent weather, where outside and inside are almost the same thing, but it was interesting nevertheless.
You know, if Cueto was even mediocre in his last start, it is likely the Royals would have won THAT game as well
That could easily have not been called by the ref...
This game is complete garbage so far
A good point is made above about starting slow and finishing fast. If you remember the 90's it seemed the opposite happened with big wins coming early and then a late season collapse. Now that there are 14 weeks of the season, no team can stay "up" for that entire time. Urban is just keeping the team down now so they can rip off impressive wins when the schedule gets tough down the line. OSU 55 WMU 10 this week
Looking at the state flags, the lamest ones are just the state seal on a blue background. At least 20 states do that...cmon man be SOMEWHAT original. Ohio's really does stand out as one of the best,
It's not offensive to me, all it does is show the classlessness of the Kentucky program, and embarrasses that particular university and conference, which is all fine with me!
Kentucky is not a midwestern state, have you ever heard them talk down there? WIsconsin fans are much easier to deal with then KY fans, I, for one, loved the fact that Wisconsin won last night!
Dude, I have never downvoted anyone in the history of being on this site. Look to someone else for that. I still think Chick Fil A sucks and I disagree with their politics, which makes it easy for me not to patronize them. On the other hand, I also disagree with the politics of the owner's of Jimmy John's, but because they serve good food, I do occasionally eat there!
Best: of the big three I would have to go with Wendy's
Fast casual: 5 guys
Worst: Chick Fil A- I dislike any kind of breaded meat- and when it is served with a side of evangelism I like it even less
UGH, the dreaded 8/9 seed. Even if we get one win it's pretty much assured no trip to the sweet 16. Oh well, that's probably all that this team deserves this year.
Only one quibble with this article, even though Missouri is in the SEC, St.Louis is not in the south. Ask anyone from there if they consider themselves a southerner, and they will either laugh or want to punch you!
That 1978 Bowl game was the start of a terrible year for Ohio State. Counting the two bowl games played in that year, OSU was 7-5 in the calendar year of 78. As for Alabama having 10 fumbles, they ran the wishbone offense, and the way it was run in those days it tended to produce many backfield fumbles that were recovered by the offense before the D could penetrate. That being said, it shows the Bucks did not get much push that day with their defensive line. I remember being shocked at the outcome of this game and the conversation after the game was had Woody gotten too old and stubborn to be the coach. This may have been the impetus for Woody to promise Schlichter as starting job as a freshman, to try and display that he, as a coach, was open to try something new, namely a passing offense.
I think that is against Oregon believe it or not. Back in the day they were an on an off non conference opponent.

What are good ways to save on maintenance/fuel and prolong the life of a car?
Apparently, if you keep your tires' air filled to the recommended level, your car will burn less gas.
I loved this article at WikiHow, which confirmed what I had heard about air in tires, and had others to suggest, such as removing unnecessary items from inside and on your car (such as bike racks, trailer balls) as they can add to your car's overall weight, causing more drag and using more gas.
Ride a bicycle or walk for short trips (< 5mi–10mi, depending on your level of comfort). Nothing saves as much on car expenses as simply driving less.
It is almost always cheaper to do regular maintenance then to fix problems because you didn't change the oil or check the transmission fluid.
Do your own oil change!
If you are a hands-on person, you could also avoid the cost of the semi-annual oil change, by doing it yourself. Edmunds.com has a great how-to to help you accomplish this. Be prepared for dirty fingernails! But savings, you will realize, as an oil change will run you anywhere from $20 - $200 (if you drive a European car and require a specialized filtre).
Keep up on routine maintenance. That's the best way to prolong the life of your car, and it'll save you money in the long run because you won't have to replace your car as often.
Accelerate gently. The harder you push the gas pedal, the more gas you use.
Coast to a stop rather than using your brakes. If you can avoid stopping by slowing down well before a red light so that by the time you actually get to the light it is green again, do so.
Avoid high-speed driving. At highway speeds, wind resistance plays a big part in how much gas your car uses. If you can plan your trips to take slower routes, do so. Don't be the guy driving 55 in the left lane on the highway, though.
Avoid stop-and-go traffic. Keeping to a constant speed is the most efficient. Plan your trips to avoid areas with lots of traffic, lots of curb-cuts and intersections, etc. Leave lots of space in front of you so you have time to anticipate other drivers intentions and slow down rather than having to slam on your brakes at the last second.
Avoid short trips. Cars work best when they can get all the way up to operating temperature, and stay there for a while. If you're just going two miles, ride your bike.
Live close to work and a grocery store, so you can walk or ride your bike rather than driving. Use your car for road trips and your quarterly trips to CostCo to restock the larder.
If you can get away with not owning a car, sell it. Ride your bike, use public transit, or walk. If you can share a car with a significant other and only one of you has a long car commute, there's no sense in you both owning a car.
Can you tell I'm having fun with this question? Here's another great list, from Finally Frugal, which includes the above items, but also these gems:
Manage the fuel consumption price: check the pattern of fuel prices if you can for your area. Some areas have weekly changes which are somewhat predictable and some sites will even predict the minimum price for the next day. Some other areas will have a discount fuel day.
Switch to diesel: fuel consumption by diesel engines are much better than standard combustion engines. Downside is not as many refueling stations.
Switch to a hybrid: fuel consumption is better than comparable combustion engines alone but the downside is that the technology is new and still maturing. Check out this site for more information.
Don't buy the first model year of a new model unless the fuel economy is much better in the latest model. Buying a car in later years just before the changeover will result in a slightly higher quality vehicle or in some cases dramatically higher quality.
Find the best forum for your make/model/year of car. Join the forum, check the FAQ, sticky threads and post questions when you have trouble. Do NOT rely passively on the dealer or even private mechanics as they do not drive the car every day. You are in the best position to identify problems but only if you have some help. Preventive maintenance is the best if you intend to keep the car for a really long time. Forums are a really good place to find the typical problems of a particular model and potentially head them off.
The obvious answer for savings costs with a car is not to have a car. Of course that must be balanced against other expenses (bicycle, taxi, public transport) to do things.
Generally speaking, if you need a car, ways to contain expense are to buy the least expensive vehicle with the most economical engine that meets your needs, keep it undercover (reduces damage or wear due to exposure), proactively maintain it (maintenance is cheaper in the long run than the costs of dealing with a breakdown and cost of repairs, and lack of maintenance accelerates depreciation), and shop around for a good mechanic who will maintain it at a fair price.
If you do a lot of milage, or do a lot of towing, or drive under load, consider a diesel. A diesel engine often costs more each service, sometimes has a shorter service interval, but it also gets greater milage. There may be a differential cost of fuel (diesel is often a bit more expensive per volume). For towing, a diesel is often more economical, due to low end power (greater torque at lower revs) which does result in better fuel economy. It is no accident that most large transport vehicles consume diesel. Do the sums based on your usage before you buy.
Accelerate as gently as possible to get to speed within traffic conditions (less fuel to get to a speed). Change up to higher gears as soon as possible as - at a given speed - economy will be better, as long as the engine has enough oomph to handle it (so don't try to start from stationary in a high gear). Don't drive faster than necessary, as drag increases with speed, and hurts economy. Similarly, reduce speed gradually, to reduce undue wear on breaks and reduce fuel consumption (sharp breaking with power assisted breaks does affect fuel economy).
Drive close to legal limits if conditions permit. This reduces chances of annoying other drivers (who if they get impatient may throw rocks at your car, or collide, or subject you to road rage - which contribute to damage and insurance costs). It also reduces chances of being pulled over by police and fined for obstructing other traffic.
Don't tailgate. This both consumes fuel in keeping up, and means needing to slow sharply. And increases chance of accident.
Don't idle more than necessary. Allow stop/start systems on your car to operate - particularly if you're in stop/start traffic. However, there is a break-even point where stopping and restarting consumes more fuel than idling, so get to know your vehicle. That depends on how much the engine needs cranking to restart - which is affected both by engine design and maintenance. Maintain it yourself if you have the skills, but account for the cost of parts and equipment, to be sure it is cost effective (modern cars are software driven, so equipment to diagnose and maintain can be expensive).
Combine trips (don't get into the car for every little thing - wait until you can do a few things during a single drive) and car pool.
If fuel prices vary (e.g some places have regular cycles) try to refuel near the bottom of a pricing cycle.
Take unnecessary weight out of the vehicle. Don't load it up with tools unless you need them frequently.
Replace your own brake pads
Disc brake pads are usually snap-in replacement parts. YouTube has tons of videos showing how to do it. Find one with a car similar to your own.
And it cannot be over-emphasized... Keep up on the routine maintenance. You can look up the schedule on your car manufacturer's website.
If you intend to buy a car, go with a used car from the 1990-2000 era
These cars are generally considered out of date and are less prone to be victims of car theft while being reasonably safe. Make sure you pick a model with a good reliability reputation, see what comes up at your local junk yard (the common old models have survived long enough to not end up there until now).
Worry less about gas prices and more about maintenance
Servicing your car takes some effort and some initial investments, but learning how to fix simple problems by yourself will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Start by learning how to locate some simple faults. Diagnosing issues is a very costly process if done professionally, but some you may be able to find by yourself.
Get an OBD2 adapter for your phone
All cars sold in USA from 1996 are required to have this connection below the steering rack. As a consequence most cars manufactured 1995 will have this connector world wide. If you connect your OBD2 adapter to this port your car will be able to tell you what's wrong through an app on your phone and you will be able to clear fault codes by yourself to make sure the problem really is solved.
Every car has an extensive service manual written by the manufacturer
This is what you mechanic should use when servicing your car. While a new print can be expensive you can find used manuals getting thrown out of service centers or at yard sales. These will include service notes and sometimes had-written notes to help you out.
Buy used parts from a junk yard
The majority of parts on scrapped cars are still in working condition and may not ever see significant wear and tear. If you put some time into removing the part yourself you will have a good idea of how difficult it is to replace the part on your car and outsource the work to a professional if needed.
Serious mechanics will install the parts you bring
This of course assumes you bring good parts. The main income should come from the work performed on your car, not the markup of spare parts. Generally speaking specialized mechanics working with one or few brands of cars are preferable as these will not only be familiar with your car but are also more likely to get original spare parts (not "pirate" parts made to be compatible at a cheaper price). This will make sure the part works as intended and not cause wear and tear of other parts. For example you'd much rather replace a broken fuse instead of cleaning up the aftermath of fried electronics.
If you're still worried about gas prices
Final notes
"Take care of your car and it takes care of you" is the principle I'm working with. A car you're happy with will make you more calm behind the wheel and leads to higher quality of your driving decisions. Both you and your fellow commuters will benefit from this, even if they may never take the time to thank you.

``The feature article goes on to describe Private's 34-year catalog of adult entertainment as ''the MGM archive of hard sex`` and quotes Mr. Milton's aim'' to exploit that archive digitally by charging Private's Internet customers a flat annual fee of $100 for access, plus $20 a month for a wide assortment of videos.`` Mr. Milton was further quoted as saying, ''I can't see any problem in getting 2 million to 3 million people to pay $100 a year that's without all the extra spinoffs.``
``We are extremely privileged to have been featured in the Forbes article which discusses the impact of the Internet on the adult entertainment business,'' said Mr. Milton, commenting on the Forbes feature article. ``We expect our Internet sites, Private.com, Privatecinema.com, Privatelive.com, together with our 24-hour Home Shopping Broadcast Channel Privateinternetshop.com, and our round-the-clock full audio/video multicast broadcast Internet site, Privatelingerie.com to generate multi-million visitors and hits on a weekly basis.''
``Private Media Group Inc. commenced operations in 1965. Its primary business activities today include the acquisition, refinement and delivery of adult feature products, including unrated and adult feature magazines, videos, CD-Roms and DVDs; distribution and licensing of Private's proprietary products on the Internet, including magazines, videos, interactive services, adult novelty products and the Private Circle fashion line; and TV Home Shopping for Private's proprietary and licensed products.

Senators Introduce Legislation to Fight Websites Offering Pirated Content
Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and others in the Senate on Thursday introduced a bill targeting online piracy, particularly so-called rogue websites that offer movies, TV shows and other copyrighted or trademarked content illegally instead of properly licensing content.
The Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act (PROTECT IP Act), as it is known, has been supported by a broad coalition of entertainment industry groups.
Under the Act, foreign websites, formerly operating outside the realm of U.S. law, would no longer be allowed to exploit U.S. Internet service providers, payment processors, search engines and ad placement services, among others, "to sustain their illicit online businesses," industry groups said in a statement.
Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Judiciary Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Herb Kohl (D-WI), Chris Coons (D-DE) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) also sponsored the bill.
On Thursday, the National Music Publishers' Association issued a statement praising the legislation.
The House of Representatives has also been working on a version of the legislation.
New MPAA head Chris Dodd in his recent inaugural speech mentioned rogue sites as a key threat.
The MPAA, the Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA) and the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) praised the Senate move. They said they are working closely with a wider coalition of entertainment union workers and organizations, businesses and labor groups involved in the production, sale and distribution of creative content.
"To the camera crew, the makeup artists, the truck drivers and all the other hard-working middle-class Americans involved in the making of a motion picture or television show, digital theft means declining incomes, lost jobs and reduced health and retirement benefits for them and their families," said Michael O'Leary, executive vp, government affairs at the MPAA. "We look forward to working with the Senate Judiciary Committee and in the House, chairman Lamar Smith and other leaders who are drafting their own bill to target rogue websites to ensure that the final legislation passed by both chambers and presented to the President provides adequate online protection of the American film and television community, an industry that supports 2.4 million American jobs."
A group of politicians from both parties had in October unveiled a proposal to combat the theft and distribution of illegal digital movies and TV shows on the Internet, but action was delayed until after last year's elections.
The MPAA has said that rogue sites include sites that offer streaming or downloadable copyrighted content or link to "a torrent or other metadate file that initiates piracy."

Diabetes Health Center
IOM Admits Possible Link Between Agent Orange and Type 2 Diabetes
Oct. 13, 2000 (Washington, D.C.) -- Soldiers exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War may have twice the risk of developing diabetes than those who avoided the plant-killing chemical. Still, the connection between exposure to the herbicide and development of the illness is tentative, according to a new report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM).
The IOM report, released Wednesday, says there is now "limited or suggestive" evidence of a link to type 2 diabetes, formerly known as "adult-onset diabetes." Previous reports had called the connection "inadequate or insufficient."
"There are potential hazards in all of the chemicals that we use in the environment," study co-author Noel Rose, MD, PhD, tells WebMD. "Sometimes, the effects don't appear until years later, and often the individual risks are very small."
What pushed the evidence in favor of a possible diabetes risk was the release of two new epidemiological studies, says Rose, professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at Johns Hopkins University's School of Hygiene and Public Health in Baltimore. The analyses focused on exposure to herbicides, like Agent Orange, which contain dioxin, a potentially toxic chemical.
"Although some of the risk estimates in the studies examined by the committee are not statistically significant ... the accumulation of positive evidence is suggestive," according to the 66-page report, "Veterans and Agent Orange: Herbicide/Dioxin and Type 2 Diabetes."
Beginning in 1962, the U.S. was involved in massive herbicide-spraying operations in Vietnam to eliminate some of the jungle hiding places for enemy soldiers. However, in 1969, when evidence showed that Agent Orange caused birth defects in lab animals, the military decided to quit using the compound.
Dioxin can alter the ways fat behaves in the body, which in turn affects insulin's impact on blood sugar. The chemical also is considered a risk factor for several different types of cancers.
Still, the IOM was limited in its conclusions. Because it's not clear how many veterans were exposed to Agent Orange or in what dose, the committee depended heavily on studies of troops who worked with herbicides.

The characters from Monster High are starring in their first DVD movie, Monster High Ghouls Rule. Instead of staying home on Halloween, the Monster High gang is taking back the holiday and dressing in over-the-top costumes that commemorate their famous monster heritages. They call it "haunt couture."
The Ghouls Rule Clawdeen Wolf doll is dressed in a purple, gold, green, and black jumpsuit with lots of furry accents. The doll also comes with a gold, black, and purple mask, a purple pumpkin bucket, a candy-filled coffin, and a hairbrush. The doll has cool cheetah-print hairdo.
As with all the other Monster High dolls, the new Ghouls Rule dolls have fabulous fashions and great detail. Monster High fans will like this new fashion for Clawdeen and being able to play out the Halloween storyline from the new DVD.
Given the sophistication and elegance of the costumes, though, these dolls will appeal to collectors as well, and for kids they combine elements of play and display, which is what will appeal to girls who love the dolls but may not want to engage in younger fashion play.
As with all Monster High dolls, there's an element of humor in the storyline and the details of the clothes and accessories that really appeals to its fans.
Monster High Ghouls Rule Clawdeen Wolf is for ages 6 and up.
Additional Ghouls Rule dolls include Frankie Stein, Cleo de Nile, and Draculaura. Each is sold separately.
In addition to being gorgeous, these dolls and their storyline also have a message for kids: Everyone is different, and those differences should be celebrated. Delivering that message through the monster theme with style and wit has certainly contributed to the popularity of Monster High.

The park offers many activities that are amazingly fun in any kind of weather — including shows, restaurants, shops, games and arcades. Guest safety is our number one priority. There are certain weather circumstances that may cause the entire park to close earlier than scheduled or not open at all. If rain, wind or electrical storms force us to close certain rides for your safety, they will re-open as soon as safe operations can be assured.
Six Flags Great Adventure will issue a complimentary return ticket to enjoy the park another day if a power failure or severe weather causes the shut down of the majority of the rides at our Park for more than 90 minutes at a time. You must present your original Six Flags Great Adventure one-day ticket stub or receipt with the correct date to the Guest Relations Office in order to receive a free return ticket. Tickets are non-refundable.

Safety is our number-one priority. Guests with certain body proportions, or of certain heights and/or weights, may not be able to enjoy certain rides if the safety restraints will not operate as designed. Specific ride information is available at the ride and at the Ride Information Center. For your convenience, a one-time height check is available at the Ride Information Center next to My Six Flags Photo and the fountain so our smaller guests don't have to be re-measured at each attraction.
There is an inherent risk in participating in any amusement ride. We expect riders to exercise good judgment and act in a responsible manner. Guests must also obey all oral and written warnings and properly use all ride safety equipment provided. Guests who do not comply with ride rules may be ejected from the park without refund. Please refer to specific guidelines posted at the entrance of every ride.

U.S. Crude Oil Stockpiles Fell for Second Week, Survey Shows
U.S. crude inventories dropped for a second week as refineries in states along the Gulf of Mexico minimize supplies ahead of the end of the year to reduce tax bills, a Bloomberg News survey showed.
Stockpiles decreased by 2 million barrels, or 0.6 percent, to 332.2 million in the seven days ended Dec. 16, according to the median of nine analyst estimates before a weekly Energy Department report Dec. 21. All respondents forecast a decline.
Oil inventories declined in December during 11 of the past 12 years, based on weekly supply data. Some states along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast levy taxes based on the amount in storage at the end of the year.
"Crude supplies are expected to show a sizable draw mainly as a result of seasonal tendencies," Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch & Associates, a Galena, Illinois-based consulting company, said in a report. "Crude stocks have decreased in five of the past five years" during this week.
Companies operated refineries at 85.1 percent of capacity in the seven days ended Dec. 16, unchanged from the prior week, the survey showed.
Inventories of distillate fuel, a category that includes heating oil and diesel, dropped 500,000 barrels, or 0.4 percent, to 141 million barrels last week, the survey showed. Five of the respondents anticipated a decline, three said there was an increase and one projected no change.
Gasoline supplies increased 1 million barrels, or 0.5 percent, to 219.8 million last week, the survey showed. Six analysts projected a gain and three estimated a decline.
The Energy Department is scheduled to release its weekly report at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 21 in Washington.

Behold the sad, strange tale of sexpert Susan Crain Bakos.
Not a metaphor! Behold the sad, strange tale of sexpert Susan Crain Bakos, the author of such titles as Best Sex Ever and The Sex Bible, who has a troubled history of tricking aspiring writers and photographers into paying for her meals in order to punish them for networking. Most recently it was Kyria Abrahams, who says that Bakos contacted her with "a possible job opportunity," only to rip her off. Abrahams says she declined to order anything at their meeting, but that Bakos insisted, "It's on me," before dashing without paying. (Abrahams had to explain to the restaurant that she couldn't afford the check.) But it gets weirder: Bakos has admitted to repeatedly pulling this exact stunt.
In a blog post that she's since deleted (but that lives on in Google's cache), Bakos attempted to justify her bizarre behavior by slamming overly ambitious "girls" in the language of a con artist, admitting that what she does is "mean," but putting her targets and critics down as "Anonymous internet trolls and mean girls, snarky jealous people and the poor little marks who didn't get all that free help they wanted? Time-wasters."
Bakos mentioned the possibility that she's mentally ill, but with evil glee. She carries out the same stunt over and over again, she said, "for the high and out of contempt" for those who see her as an "old achiever on [her] way out."
Ladies, be warned: An invite from Bakos isn't a big break, it's a big bill.

Results of three studies indicate that intrinsic religiosity and mortality salience interact to predict intergroup hostility. Study 1, conducted among 200 American Christians and Jews, reveals that under mortality salience, intrinsic (but not extrinsic or quest) religiosity is related to decreased support for aggressive counterterrorism. Study 2, conducted among 148 Muslims in Iran, demonstrates that intrinsic religiosity predicts decreased out-group derogation under mortality salience. Study 3, conducted among 131 Polish Christians, shows that under mortality salience, priming of intrinsic religious concepts decreases support for aggressive counterterrorism.

A platelet is the smallest type of blood cell. Platelets are the body's first defense against bleeding, helping the blood to clot (coagulate) by collecting at the site of a wound and clumping together to help stop the flow of blood.
People with very low levels of platelets or who have bleeding disorders may need to have transfusions of platelets to prevent excessive bleeding.

SMITHLAND, Ky. (May 11, 2013)—Two-dozen people including students were injured when a school bus carrying a high school softball team overturned in far-western Kentucky.
Kentucky State Police said the bus was carrying the Union County High School girls' softball team and had 28 people on board when the accident occurred just before 5 p.m. Friday on U.S. 60 in Livingston County, along the Ohio River.
State Police Trooper Richie Wright said the bus ran off the right shoulder, swerved to the other side of the road, and then spun 180 degrees before rolling on to its side.
Wright said 25 people were taken to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
One patient was airlifted from the scene, but it was not because of serious injuries.
The bus was on its way to Smithland, Ky., for an evening softball game, and overturned about three miles from the city near the Illinois border.
