AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA (February 18, 2014) — For more than two decades Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP) has honored innovative individuals behind technology-driven developments in the hospitality industry with the International Hospitality Technology Hall of Fame.

Pros: No problems at all out of the 4 sticks that I bought. This is the first time using this brand.
Cons: None on my end.
Other Thoughts: Just replaced my motherboard with a (MSI A78M-E45) and processor (A10-5800K) along with a Samsung 840-EVO ssd, and Windows rating (graphics) was only at a 4.1. I figured it was the memory so saw these on sale and bought 2 sticks to replace 2 (4gb) sticks of older Corsair 1333Mhz, and my graphics rating went up to a 5.6. Ended up buying 2 more sticks for a total of 16 and now I am at 6.8. Good memory!READ FULL REVIEW

Learn About New Jersey Ticket Broker Select-A-Ticket
Our mission is to provide our clients with the best service and the lowest price for tickets.
Since 1978 Select A Ticket (a New Jersey ticket broker located in Riverdale) has been working to define the ticketing industry. That is 30 years of buying and selling tickets to and from customers all over the world. Select A Ticket, Inc. is not just a dot-com, we have a physical store conveniently located to the Tri-State Area in Northern New Jersey. Because we have a brick and mortar storefront and because we have been in the ticket business for 30 years, we have the knowledge and skill to get you the tickets you want, from Broadway tickets to Kentucky Derby tickets, to Super Bowl tickets, if you need tickets, Select A Ticket has them!
Over the years we have become one of the most active Broadway Ticket Brokers in the country, we have access to literally hundreds of tickets for every Broadway show. So if the Jersey Boys is sold out, or you just have to see Wicked or the Lion King, Select A Ticket is your one stop shop for any Broadway tickets!
Select A Ticket is committed to our customers and to delivering top-notch customer service to everyone we interact with. We invite you to "Experience The Difference" which is not just our slogan, but also a promise to our customers, when you purchase tickets from Select A Ticket, we will do our best to make sure that the entire process is the best it can be!
Frequently Asked Questions
Often we get questions from our customers or perspective customers about us, or our industry, the most common are outlined below, but feel free to contact one of our Personal Entertainment Consultants with any questions, or if you need help with your order.
What sets Select A Ticket apart from the other companies out there?
First and foremost, our experience and dedication to the industry with 30 years of experience Select A Ticket is one of the oldest and most respected Brokers in the industry.
Select A Ticket also has a stellar reputation both with individuals, large corporations, and also within our industry. We have not just been fulfilling orders over the last 30 years, we have been developing and strengthening our ties to our customers and the industry. Our reputation is one of our most valuable assets and we have a dedicated staff of employees working to put it to use for you to get the tickets and experiences you want!
Is there some sort of organization that governs or regulates ticket brokers?
There is, it is called the National Ticket Association of Brokers or the NATB. The NATB is the organization that sets the highest standards for all elite ticket brokers in the industry and Select A Ticket is proudly a founding member. We take our membership with the NATB very seriously, in fact Select A Ticket's President; Tom Patania is on the Board of Directors of the NATB, further strengthening our commitment to not only the NATB but also our customers.
In addition to the NATB there is also the East Coast Ticket Brokers Association - The ECTBA of which Select A Ticket is also proudly a founding member.
What happens if you take my order but can't get the tickets?
This is rare, but it does happen. If Select A Ticket takes an order we can do one of two things:
- Select A Ticket will try and get you other seats, sometimes at the same cost, some times at a higher or lower cost, we will discuss this with you before we change a guaranteed ticket order.
- If that does not work, Select A Ticket backs our guaranteed orders with a 200% Guarantee. That's right; double the price of the ticket back to you. This is one of the best guarantees in the industry; that's how confident we are that we will be able to get your tickets!
Why should I buy tickets from SelectATicket.com and not get them from the box office?
Often times you can wait in-line for hours (or even days) to get a ticket from the box office and when you get to the front of the line they are sold out. Or, you skip the line and try and order your tickets online but you can't see the exact price, or the exact sections, or they might even be sold out. Select A Ticket will give you the price, the section, and often even the row of the seats BEFORE you order.
You will know where you are sitting, and how much it will cost you before you have to make the purchase. And if Select-A-Ticket takes your order, we will have your tickets, or we will help you find other seats, or you get our 200% Guarantee - the box office will never give you all of that!
Select-A-Ticket also specializes in helping you get those hard to find exclusive tickets. Need tickets for the first section of the floor seats for Bon Jovi? Not a problem, Select-A-Ticket can get them for you!
Plus ordering from our web site, or over the phone (1.800.SELECT.US) is really quick and easy; do you have time to wait at a box office for tickets that might not be available? We didn't think so.
Why should I buy tickets from SelectATicket.com and not another ticket company?
Select-A-Ticket's prices are consistantly among the lowest if not the lowest which means more savings for you. We can do this because we own our own ticket inventory, that is the difference between us and many other ticket companies, they are often the middle man -- we are the original supplier.
Also, many consumers are shocked by other ticket companies when they see the added charges on a broker site. With SelectATicket.com that does not happen, there are no hidden fees at checkout.
I know that Select A Ticket sells Broadway Tickets, but do you sell anything else?
You name it - we sell it! We do specialize in Broadway Tickets, but we also sell tickets for Concerts, Theatre, Baseball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, Kentucky Derby, Wrestling, Tennis, Ice Shows, Circus, Boxing and everything else you can think of!

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
—The Jedi Code
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
—The Sith Code
The words above sum up the beliefs of the two eternally battling sides of the Force (and the world itself). The Jedi and the Sith. The light and the dark. The good and the evil.
I personally believe that the truth lies somewhere in between. Noone can exist completely without emotion, without passion, feeding solely upon harmony and serenity. The same goes for living only through passion, power and stength. We, humans, simply can't live on the edges for all of our lives. We may choose sides from time to time, but eventually we come to understand that all these notions are trivial. We do the best we can, for the sake of ourselves and the ones that we love and care for. Ultimately, we are neither white nor black. We are gray, and that is what makes us humans... Boooh yah! I rock right? RIGHT?? ...Geekness. Gauge. Maxed. Out.
After that little contemplation on "geekosophy", let me tell you a few things about myself. As you've prbably already figured out I am a fan of the Star Wars franchise. I completely adore the universe that the series revolves around, its people and ideas. Hyperspace travel, hundreds of different planets and solar systems, other intelligent forms of life... You get the point. (but the truth is I'm a total geek [keyword] for Jedi vs Sith battles and lightsabers.. :p Hell yeah!!)
Aside from being a Star Wars fan, I am also an ageless university student from Greece, hoping to get a degree in Electronic Engineering someday. I'm currently near the end of my nth year and things are a bit rough with the tight schedule and the many many courses. Furthermore, I have started taking lessons on classical piano, hoping to study at the Berklee College of music someday ...yeah. Apart from dreaming, I spend most of my time per day either studying at the conservatory or whatever.
My interests are (other than watching anime and reading manga of course!) playing the guitar/piano/jamming/etc, listening to mostly rock music (although I have recently started obsessing over classic, blues and jazz tunes), reading (novels usually), bowling, table tennis, basketball, video games, overclocking... Almost everything a normal person in his twenties has an interest for. Furthermore, I really enjoy going out with my friends, watching films, playing DnD (oh yeeeaaaah!) traveling, eating pizza, souvlaki and spicy food. And cycling. And-
Soooo... Am I a geek or am I a geek? Geek, going once. Geek, goi- ...Anyway, these are a "few" things about me. Anyone who's more interested (yeah, there could be someone/female who likes SW and anime and video games and rock music... *gentle cough* let's just continue) just leave a message... ;)
The cake is a lie.
2,256 total episodes
Hey, guess what :p? During some jam-and-fooling-around-sessions, my friends and I recorded some of our songs. It's not really top-notch quality, and i was just at the beginning of catching a cold, but otherwise, if you'd like to hear some of it I'd love to send it to you ^_^. I need your email though, cause it's not really youtube material ;). Well, that was all for now :p (oh yeah... i almost finished blood+... aint I awesome xD?)
Haha, I may not seem like it but I'm a loner by nature ^_^! Sure I love the company of my friends and all the connections I gain through the music projects, but I really treasure my all-alone-time too xD. Well maybe the word has other connotations in holland than greece, but here it also means that you do things your way for your own reasons and that you're not really part of a social group :p. Let's just keep it at the fact that I don't like to spend every minute of my free time in the company of others xD. You know, I even used to be extremely shy for many years (I'm not anymore at all, haha). Well enough about me and my circumstances ^_^!
Yeah, hunter gets really interesting and nice, doesn't it? actually, 30-36 are a bit hard to watch but after that it gets really nice again. And of course there are 3 ova's that are sequels to the unending of hunter x hunter with lengths of respectively 8, 8 and 14 eps. After that it does reach a really nice way of closure, though, but it also gets unexpectedly serious at some points. Anyhow, it's really a one-of-a-kind anime in my opinion :p
Hehe poor you, no raisins....:D oh wow, you are going to cook my recipe and later i'm going to cook your recipe. We might as well start out a mutual monthly greek/dutch recipe exchange xD. All the things that Anime Planet is good for ^_^; music exchange, recipe exchange... and some anime talk after all xD
About the songs you sent me, I listened to all of them! I didn't like the last one that much but the first two with the berliner philharmoniker were actually pretty nice! Especially in the first one were a few jaw-dropping solos of the windblowers and I don't know a lot about electrical guitars but it sounded really high-level and not something just anyone might pull off ^_^. Furthermore of course the symphonic layer adds another dimension to the music, especially with that shitload of stringplayers. The music is not very complicated in itself and I believe the musicians of the berliner didn't have a hard time studying it, but as an extension of the rockband that they support I guess they make this one of the better musical pieces in the rock genre. Are you a hardcore fan of the scorpions or do you just like these two musical pieces because they are together with the berliner?
Hmmm if I'm thinking of the kind of pop music that I occasionally listen to... I kinda like Michael Buble and Katie Melua, as well as a dutch band called Bløf, in which the music is ok but especially the lyrics are brilliant, in a special, poetic sense. I think I'll show you a few songs of their cd Umoja. They made a journey all over the world and worked together with local bands to establish that cd, so it's often bilangual and multicultural, with a lot of different musical influences. Again, it's quite peaceful music, and their lyrics are more important than the music itself, but i figured you might like it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWr1FdyQojg this is called Inside Out and they produced it in cooperation with singers, dancers and percussionists from Kenia. I guess I'll give you a rough translation of the lyrics ^_^
Commit me to the spirits, of the past, of now, of later. They've always been here. Commit me to the land, commit me to the water. Without a mother, without a father. It's always been there.
Change me, move me, hold my head with your hands and take it inside out, outside in. Let it dry in the wind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpOtZaeDdxU&feature=related, Low to the ground. In cooperation with a nigerian band. My guess it's about poverty. The following is my very rough translation, as there are a few sayings over there that I can't translate very well xD:
We want to go higher, we want to see where we are and what's ours. We want to go higher, where the air is clean - sometimes - and the sun always shines. We want to go higher, we want to see the good things, away from the fire and the smoke. We HAVE to go higher. Who's guilty must pay, who's innocent too.
(chorus): Low to the ground, where the angels fall and nations rise. Low to the ground, where we make love and fight, where we bleed and die.
We want to go higher, we want to see where we are if everything else falls. We want to go higher, before it's too late and the sun disappears. We want to go higher, but something's stopping us. We have to go higher, fight, nobody wants to go back.
One last one, together with an American band. I won't give the translation here, but it's about the autumn blues and a lost love ^_^. I really like the way they sing in two languages at the same time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgtUuBE_O7o.
Well, I think I've bored you enough with my favourite dutch band now, so this is all for now ^_^... I really hope you like the songs.
I'll be looking forward to the moment you'll have tasted the greatness and bliss of my great recipe. Til then, sayonara ;)!
Lol, you've got me about the good grades thingy, but I guess my parents don't really care xD. I'm in the kind of family that cares a lot about spending time together, and I myself am more of a loner, so sometimes we clash...
The hunter x hunter animation is not good, i agree with you... As I generally don't pay attention to animation quality, it doesn't really bother me, though xD I guess I'm really focused on the story when i watch anime. The story is something fresh and fun. I'm curious what you'll think about it when you've seen more eps... The first day i remember i watched 1-25 in a row, hehe.
Hehe, tell me what you think about it once you've tasted it. You know what! If you liked it you have to give me a recipe too about the gorgeous almond honey stuff that you were talking about *drools* ^_^! (yep, i really, really like food and i couldn't even become an anorectic if i wanted to xD. I'm not fat though, don't worry :p)
Awww, you poor soul. We've had terrible problems with internet here too (ranging from being damn slow to not connecting at all....) so i completely understand your pain ^_^!
How am I doing, huh? Let's say my parents are annoying the hell out of me blabbering about me being an anime addict (duh, as if I don't know this myself...). So for the time being, I have to play the sweet and obedient daughter or they will put a limiter on my internet (omgomgomg... I'm almost 20 and they're doing such a childish thing...). So grrrrrrrrrr I'm pretty pissed off xD.
Anyway, about hunter X hunter you have started watching, it's really great but it takes some time to get great. I'd say the first 7 if not 10 eps are a bit lame, so don't get disappointed yet at this stadium ^_^. It's a very creative and adventurous anime with loveable characters!
Blood+, Blood+.... It's just painfull... i guess it's a hit or miss series because a lot of people really love it. I just belong to the group that doesn't xD. Sadly enough, I'm determined to finish it and I figured the only way to accomplish that is to not allow myself to watch One Piece before i have cleared blood+ out of the way(sometimes i wonder, am i a masochist xD?). So right now I'm actually sulking because I don't want to watch it, but if I don't I'll never get to One Piece again... (yeah you guessed right, I'm pretty good at self-disciplining but I've been particularly harsh on myself this time... ahhh....)
Well, enough about the negative stuff. Let's get to the good part: the recipe of appelflappen (the apple cinnamon dough thingy ^_^!). Hmm but as there are only recipes in dutch I'll have to translate it xD lol ok here we go:
Buy some puff pastry, roll it out and cut squares of 12-15 cm. Cut two apples into little blocks, take 50 grams of brown sugar, 50 grams of raisins. Mix it and apply some cinnamon (not too much, mind you xD!). Divide the mix equally over a few squares of puff pastry, wet the edges of the puff pastry with some water, and fold them to the center (I mean that you have make a package xD). Then take an egg, mix it well in a bowl and apply some of the egg on the outside of the packages with a brush. Now put them in the oven 20-25 mins on 200°C ^_^.
Sorry if some of this sounds weird but i had to look up some of the english names of the ingredients in a dictionary so I hope everything gets through well xD. Anyway, it's really delicious, doesn't take too much time to make and it's easy, so.. itadakimasu ^_^!
Woah the greek newyear and christmas food sounds just too delicious *drool, drool*.... You guys do a lot of dishes with honey right xD... And almonds... whoah sounds so great xD!!! Sadly, if I'd try to cook it I would gain another kilo easily *sad face*... (The dough-apple thing of holland is with a lot of sugar and cinnamon, if you'd like to try it i can look up a recipe for you ^_^... I kinda love cooking and I'm pretty good at it too, although i still have a lot to learn)
Oh, and I'm really happy at the moment so please let me brag for a little ^_^... Did I mention some kind of really harsh buttfuck methodology exam three weeks ago? Well I just got the results and I got a nine ^_^... It's always nice if hard work pays off (actually, i usually do get really depressed if hard work doesn't pay off, but that doesn't happen often :D)
At the moment I'm trying to proceed with Blood+, but it's so boring so far and completely not my type of anime *sigh*... Also some rosario to vampire as i dont dislike ecchi in general, but oh my god this stuff is just the worst xD... Shallow, typical and predictable, it almost has no good sides. I've started reading some nice manga to entertain myself ^_^... It's not featured in the Anime Planet List, though, that's a bit of a pity :P...
And last but not least, I've already seen Samurai Champloo ^_^! Most of it was pretty random but there was actually some really good material from ep 10 -17 and also the ending was not bad at all...

Whites of the month
1997 La Vega Verdejo Sauvignon Blanc, Rueda, pounds 3.99, Asda, Fuller's. Verdejo from Rueda, the bread basket of Spain, is one of Spain's few real quality white-grape varieties. In partnership here with the zip and zing of the aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, its full-bodied ripeness dovetails neatly with the Sauvignon's grapefruity tang.
1997 Canepa Oak Aged Semillon, pounds 4.49, Tesco. Given whites of this value and character, it's a shame there isn't more Semillon coming out of Chile. Canepa's Ernesto Ramirez has produced an engaging dry white scented with lemon meringue and citrus-zest fruitiness rounded out
by an appealing shading of oak.
1997 Tim Gramp Watervale Riesling, pounds 7.99, Unwins. Aussie Riesling can be at its best in the Watervale district of Clare Valley and Tim Gramp's Riesling is no exception. Refreshing, intensely flavoured and elegantly dry, it's redolent of lemons and just beginning to develop the tell-tale "kerosene" perfume which will develop an alluring pungency with a little more age. Try it with a Thai or Chinese stir-fry.
1997 Pouilly-Fume, Jean-Claude Chatelain, pounds 7.99, Waitrose. Sancerre's popularity can obscure some of the superb Sauvignons coming out of neighbouring Pouilly Fume. The crisp, cut-grass aromas of the grape variety and the give-away smoky hint of gunflint in this Loire Valley white should win back friends for Pouilly-Fume and influence New World Sauvignon lovers.
Reds of the month
1997 Concha y Toro Explorer Pinot Noir, pounds 4.99, Fuller's. This discovery may not be classic Pinot Noir, but who cares when a wine's as gluggy as Concha y Toro Explorer. Delicate strawberry-ish undertones suggest the classic red Burgundy grape but the succulently spicy, cherry ripeness and rustic edge is perhaps closer to Mediterranean in style.
1997 Chamine, Cortes de Cima, pounds 5.49 (limited offer), Majestic Wine Warehouses. This is a smart young wine from the Alentejo region in Portugal's deep, warm south made from mainly native Aragonez and Trincadeira grapes. The distinctive southern fruit is rich and smooth, while a delicate veneer of spicy oak adds a satin sheen to the plum and blackberry fruit flavours.
1997 Domaine Barrel, Crozes Hermitage, pounds 6.99, Safeway. Etienne Pochon's excellent second wine departed from the Safeway list for a while, but has now returned to style. This is textbook northern Rhone Syrah in character, with the typical delicate smoke and pepper character of the grape, and a purity of underlying blackberry fruitiness enhanced by a spell in oak casks.
1997 Delheim Pinotage, pounds 6.99, Victoria Wine Cellars. In the pantheon of Cape Pinotage styles, Delheim leans towards the traditional, with less emphasis on new oak but still intense mulberry fruit flavours and a firm backbone of tannins. My supermarkets haven't tracked down any impala (yet), but kangaroo or venison will do nicely.
Fizz of the Month
1992 Sainsbury's Australian Chardonnay/Pinot Noir Brut, pounds 6.99, selected Sainsbury's. It's unusual to come across a New World fizz with such a degree of maturity. But this smartly packaged Aussie sparkler from Southcorp's Seppelts stable is showing not just the biscuit-like aromatic and flavour complexity of bottle age, but a foamy, marshmallow texture that melts on the tongue and slips down with ease

In a recent article, we took a look at Visa's (NYSE:V) business model, which is driven by transaction volumes. In this article, we will compare that model with the one employed by another credit card giant, American Express (NYSE:AXP), which focuses on spend rather than transaction volumes. This contrast is evident in the numbers; Visa has more than 2 billion cards in use worldwide and processes more than 60 billion transactions per year, while AmEx has just 107 million cards in force and processes just 6 billion transactions per year. Despite this disparity, American Express has annual gross revenues of $33 billion while Visa earns just $14 billion per year.
Our $79 price estimate for the company's stock is at a discount of 10% to the current market price.

- Earnings Review: Operational Discipline Helps American Express Report Higher Margins
- Earnings Preview: American Express' Fourth Quarter Should Round Off A Tough Year
- Where We Expect American Express' Revenue Growth To Come From
- How Have Charge-Off Rates For Major U.S. Card Issuers Trended Over Recent Quarters?
- How Much In U.S. Credit Card Purchases Did The Various Payment Companies Process In Q3?
- How Much In U.S. Card Purchase Volumes Did The Country's Largest Card Issuers Report In Q3 2016?
What Is The Difference?
Visa's clients are primarily banks and financial institutions, known as issuers, who issue cards bearing the Visa logo to their customers. When a cardholder uses a card to purchase goods or services from a merchant, information is sent via Visa's network to the merchant's bank, known as the acquirer. This is an open-loop system involving five parties. The issuer earns interest from the cardholder on the loan provided to the cardholder at the time of purchase, and charges a card fee for the use of its card. The issuer also earns an interchange reimbursement fee from the acquirer, who charges a merchant discount fee from the merchant. Visa charges data processing fees and service fees from its financial clients and is not involved in the lending process. Thus, it is not exposed to any credit risk and earns revenue on the volume of transactions carried out through its cards.
American Express, on the other hand, issues its own cards through its banking subsidiaries, American Express Centurion Bank and American Express Bank, FSB and employs a closed-loop network, acting as both the issuer and acquirer. The company's primary source of revenues is the discount fee charged to merchants who accept its cards. These fees are charged as a percentage of the charge amount processed for the merchant and account for 65% of the company's revenues. AmEx also earns interest on loans issued to cardholders, membership fees from its cardholders and other revenues based on travel services offered. However, its revenue model does not depend on the volume of transactions processed, but rather on the total amount spent by the customer.
Therefore, the company employs a spend-centric model, targeting affluent customers who are likely to spend more. This is indeed reflected in AmEx's statistics; the average payment volume per transaction for American Express cards is around $150, while Visa's is $50. Also, by directly earning discount fees from merchants, the company is able to bypass the issuers and acquirers, earning more revenue per transaction.
Why Would An Affluent Customer Go For American Express Over Any Other Card?
The answer to the question again lies in the closed-loop network. AmEx is able to analyze trends and information on cardholder spending and build algorithms to provide customized offers to attract and retain customers. The company is also able to leverage the information provided by its network to maintain relationships with merchants using targeted marketing to match merchants with the right customers, who are more likely to spend more and stay loyal. AmEx offers rewards to incentivize higher spending and also offers value added services such as merchant financing to select merchants, providing an attractively priced source of financing. American Express places a high priority on building relationships with customers, and has been ranked number one by J.D. Power and Associates in terms of overall customer satisfaction among card issuers in the U.S. for each of the last seven years. [1]
What About Credit Risk?
By focusing on affluent customers, American Express is also able to mitigate the credit risk associated with issuing loans to cardholders. High earning customers in the country are more likely to pay off their credit debt in time in order to avoid the interest they would otherwise have to pay. The delinquency rate – the percentage of total loans that are past due – on credit card loans for all commercial banks in the U.S. is around 2.39%, while only 1.07% of American Express' loans in the U.S. are past due date. ((Delinquency Rate On Credit Card Loans, All Commercial Banks, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System))
Our Forecast
The company's growth prospects in the U.S. will depend on demographics. According to the 2010 U.S. census, around 22% of households in the country earn more than $95,000 per year. [2] These households form the primary customer base for American Express. American Express has 32.5 million propriety cards-in-use in the U.S., with a penetration of 45%. The number of cards has increased at a rate of around 4% for the last two years, but we expect a slightly slower growth rate in the coming years.
The average annual spend per card increased at a double-digit growth rate from 2009 to 2011, growing from $11,505 to $14,124 during the period. However, this growth rate has dropped in the last two years, with the figure increasing just 4.7% in 2013. We expect a moderate growth rate in the short term as the U.S. economy continues to recover, with a slight increase in the growth rate towards the end of the decade.

I just reset factory settings via the profile menu and selected United States as my country and it now works. Not sure which one fixed it!
I have an LE37B650, with the latest firmware installed, connected to my wireless router.
I've managed to download the YouTube widget, and it appears at the bottom of the screen but says 'Loading' and doesn't do anything. So I can't actually load the widget.
I've downloaded a couple of other widgets which work perfectly. Only reason I forked out for the wireless dongle was because I knew YouTube was available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in the UK, by the way.

2005 Toyota Tundra ProblemsTicking Noise From Exhaust Manifold
The V8 models can experience exhaust manifold failures. A leaking exhaust manifold will sound like an exhaust leak or an audible ticking noise from the engine compartment and will be especially pronounced when the engine is still cold.
One or more oxygen sensors may fail resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light.
Toyota issued a recall on the lower ball joint due to the possibility of premature wear from improper finishing in production. The ball joints will be replaced under the recall. There are two separate recalls combined here, one applies to 2002-2004 and the second to 2004-2006 Models. Please contact you local Toyota dealer to see if your vehicle is included.

subnet mask - subnetting
Subnet mask is a mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP address has two components, the network address and the host address. For example, consider the IP address 150.215.017.009. Assuming this is part of a Class B network, the first two numbers (150.215) represent the Class B network address, and the second two numbers (017.009) identify a particular host on this network.
What is Subnetting?
Subnetting enables the network administrator to further divide the host part of the address into two or more subnets. In this case, a part of the host address is reserved to identify the particular subnet. This is easier to see if we show the IP address in binary format.
The full address is:
The Class B network part is:
The host address is:
If this network is divided into 14 subnets, however, then the first 4 bits of the host address (0001) are reserved for identifying the subnet.
The subnet mask is the network address plus the bits reserved for identifying the subnetwork -- by convention, the bits for the network address are all set to 1, though it would also work if the bits were set exactly as in the network address. In this case, therefore, the subnet mask would be 11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000. It's called a mask because it can be used to identify the subnet to which an IP address belongs by performing a bitwise AND operation on the mask and the IP address. The result is the subnetwork address:
|Subnet Mask
|IP Address
|Subnet Address
The subnet address, therefore, is 150.215.016.000.
Subnet Calculator
An IP subnet mask calculator is used to automatically calculate subnets. The calculator allows you to input an IP address and choose the Subnet Mask, Network class and other variables to calculate subnet network mask. Results of the calculation will provide the hexadecimal IP address, the wildcard mask, subnet ID, broadcast address and the subnet address range for the resulting subnet network.
There are a number of free online IP Subnet calculators including:

Lot 191: French Brass Inkwell And Pen Display. Estima
Winter Assemblage No Reserves And 25% Value Start Price
by Pangaea Auctions
December 10, 2016
Carson City, NV, USALive Auction
Description: French Brass Inkwell And Pen Display. Estimated more than 100 yrs old. French art consists of the visual arts, architecture, woodwork, textiles, and ceramics. Modern France was the main centre for the European art of the Upper Paleolithic, then left many megalithic monuments, and in the Iron Age many of the most impressive finds of early Celtic art. The Gallo-Roman period left a distinctive provincial style of sculpture, and the region around the modern Franco German border led the empire in the mass production of finely decorated Ancient Roman pottery, which was exported to Italy and elsewhere on a large scale. With Merovingian art the story of French styles as a distinct and influential element in the wider development of the art of Christian Europe begins. France can fairly be said to have been a leader in the development of Romanesque art and Gothic art, before the Italian Renaissance led to Italy replacing France as the main source of stylistic developments until the age of Louis XIV, when France largely regained this role, holding it until the mid 20th century.

Unique environment, very special, completely enclosed by Bush, Nikau Palms Puriri filling the window space. dining and kitchen area exposed to the elements to some degree also with outside accessed shower and long drop, not necessarily everyones' enjoyment but very certainly ours, We absolutely loved our holiday.
Super cute place for couples. Surrounded by lots of nature. Quiet, and sweet. Great location as well.
This place is magical, and a fun experience with the outdoor kitchen, shower, toilet. Lynne was really welcoming of our 2 year old, and we loved exploring the gardens, fruit trees and visiting the chickens. It's brilliant how embedded in the bush the house is, and yet only 5 minute walk to cafes etc. The house was a little damp and musty but that comes with living the in the bush I suppose!
It was a lovely property, immaculately presented with everything we needed. So tranquil set in the bush, listening to the stream in the evening and the birds in the morning. Beds were comfortable and the outside shower was a blissful novelty. Great location walking distance to beach, store and the waterfall.
Beautiful location. Fun and comfortable accommodation.

SYNful Knock Malware Found on Almost 200 Cisco Routers
Scans of the Internet by Cisco and Shadowserver found more infected hardware than the 14 initially discovered earlier this month.Cisco Systems' problems with routers infected with the malicious firmware known as SYNful Knock continue to grow. Cisco and Mandiant—a subsidiary of cyber security vendor FireEye—last week announced that 14 routers in four countries (India, Mexico, Ukraine and the Philippines) were infected with the malware, which can take over the hardware and offer attacks a backdoor access. Through this access, attackers can install other malware, gain control of Internet traffic, direct users to other sites, steal data and launch attacks against other devices. The malware looks to compromise the IOS software on the Cisco routers. Cisco officials, at the time, said they were taking steps to help customers deal with the infection, with a spokesman telling eWEEK that "these attacks do not exploit vulnerabilities, but instead use compromised credentials or physical access to install malware on network devices. We've shared guidance on how customers can harden their network, and prevent, detect and remediate this type of attack."
However, the networking vendor has also since been working with partner and cyber-crime organization Shadowserver Foundation, which found that the SYNful Knock malware had been detected on almost 200 routers in 31 countries worldwide. Cisco has been working with Shadowserver to scan the Internet to get a better count of infected systems.

This is a very basic -- yet fully functional -- framework for producing a loosely coupled plugin architecture. Full details of its use can be found on my blog, but the basics are listed below.
Defining a mount point for plugins
class ActionProvider:
__metaclass__ = PluginMount
Implementing plugins
class Insert(ActionProvider):
def perform(self):
# Do stuff here
class Update(ActionProvider):
def perform(self):
# Do stuff here
Utilizing plugins
for action in ActionProvider.plugins:
Yes, it really is that simple.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
class PluginMount(type):
def __init__(cls, name, bases, attrs):
if not hasattr(cls, 'plugins'):
# This branch only executes when processing the mount point itself.
# So, since this is a new plugin type, not an implementation, this
# class shouldn't be registered as a plugin. Instead, it sets up a
# list where plugins can be registered later.
cls.plugins = []
# This must be a plugin implementation, which should be registered.
# Simply appending it to the list is all that's needed to keep
# track of it later.

Help...

I received this error:

TypeError: unbound method perform() must be called with Insert instance as first argument (got nothing instead)

Here is the code....

class PluginMount(type): def __init__(cls, name, bases, attrs): if not hasattr(cls, 'plugins'): cls.plugins = [] else: cls.plugins.append(cls) class ActionProvider(object): __metaclass__ = PluginMount class Insert(ActionProvider): def perform(self): print 'Insert' class Update(ActionProvider): def perform(self): print 'Update' if __name__ == '__main__': for action in ActionProvider.plugins: action.perform()

- ffsffd (on April 27, 2011):

This is a little late, but just informational for everyone else.

The poster above me encountered the error because action (which is a class), is not being instantiated first.

So the fix is: if name == 'main': for action in ActionProvider.plugins: action().perform()

Really simple. :) And this idea really rocks.

- ffsffd (on April 27, 2011):

Oops, here's the code again, correctly formatted.

if __name__ == '__main__': for action in ActionProvider.plugins: action().perform()

- eagleamon (on August 1, 2012):

Hi, really nice and neat solution. Just a thing, I don't see a way to do this if your plugins are defined in different module files without having to look for them somewhere. Just an example:

main.py plugins/ metaclass.py plugin.py init.py plugin1.py plugin2.py etc..

and in init.py: all = [p for p in glob.glob(....)...]

which quite destroy the benefit not to look for anything. Am I missing something ?

Thanks for the idea anyway !!

|If your computer is affected with a malicious Symbos.cabir.p, your computer is likely suffering every time you start up. The Symbos.cabir.p starts up before your computer has fully booted, and may use its access to create hidden accounts, install secret data tracking programs, or infect your computer with malicious processes.
How to manually remove Symbos.cabir.p guide. Only for ADVANCED users.
Check running processes on your system. Usually you can find Symbos.cabir.p process running. Use the Ctrl+Shift+Esc buttons combination to open system information window and click Processes tab. Scroll down the whole list and try to find the process named like Symbos.cabir.p. If you find Symbos.cabir.p process running, right click on it and choose "End Process". It will disable Symbos.cabir.p for the current Windows session, but remember that if you do not completely remove Symbos.cabir.p using next steps, then your PC will stay vulnerable to malware attack. Next steps are much more important in removing Symbos.cabir.p.
Prevent the malware from leaking or spreading your personal data. Malware usually uses the Internet to transfer all possible and important information you have. Some Malwares are not so "Active" and they can simply disable some Windows features and options. To disconnect your PC from the Internet you need to plug-off LAN cable (if you use LAN connection) or to turn of the Wi-Fi module (if you use Wi-Fi Internet connection). Most of (not 100%) Malwares can not access Wi-Fi module preferences. Turning off the Internet will disable Symbos.cabir.p from transferring any data from your PC.
The next step is very important in removing Symbos.cabir.p. After turning off the Internet and disabling Symbos.cabir.p process you will need to reboot your PC in so-called Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a Windows mode which allows you to start the System using only important applications and services. Safe Mode does not usually allow Symbos.cabir.p to load when the system boots (!!!but exceptions can appear!!!). Choose Restart in Windows Start menu and wait until the screen turns off.
After that you have to follow the next instructions according to the versions of Microsoft Windows you use:
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen appears.
Select Safe Mode from Windows Advanced Options Menu and press ENTER.
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen appears.
Use the arrow keys from Windows Advanced Options Menu in order to select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
Press and hold the Shift button when left-clicking the Restart button on Windows log-on screen.
Select Safe Mode from Windows Troubleshooting boot screen and press ENTER.
Having booted your PC in Safe mode you have to start cleaning your PC manually by deleting every file associated with Symbos.cabir.p one by one. Here is the list of all files associated with Symbos.cabir.p. Delete all files listed below using the Shift+Delete buttons combination. Always double check the file name as sometimes Malwares use very similar filenames as very important system files do and you can mistakenly remove important system file what will harm your system and you will not be able to boot your PC at all.
Please, remember that viruses are always progressing and sometimes new files can appear. If you are using our offline PDF guide on How to remove Symbos.cabir.p, please check if you have it's latest version.
We do not guarantee that Symbos.cabir.p has the same file structure at the moment of deleting.
After removing all files associated with Symbos.cabir.p that were listed above, reboot your system in normal mode and check if your PC works fine or you still have any troubles.
It it is OK – congratulations! You have made a great job!
If it is still NOT ok – use OSHI Defender to check your PC.

Ren? Martineau Insectarium Catalogue, Quebec, CanadaEntry ID: Canada_CFS_RMInsectCatalogue
Abstract: The Ren? Martineau Insectarium, which was officially opened in 1999,
is more like a library than a museum. All specimens are catalogued on cards
indicating their location on the premises, along with the place where they were
collected, the date, conditions, and so on. The collection includes mostly
coverage from Quebec. The Insectarium therefore serves as a historical and
ecological reference ... centre.
The Ren? Martineau Insectarium contains some 200,000 specimens,
