|Topic Review (Newest First)
duece, the temp gauge indicates that is running about 1/3 high. No matter hot weather or cold, it never varies after it has been warmed up. Did your gauge get hotter than normal on hot days? I will try and locate the sensor and check it.
Jeruzalem, '94 to '96 Roadmasters and Impalas came with LT-1s. You are correct. If the engine is running hot, you do experience predetonation. The problem is that the car is running a normal (fairly low) temp. The outside temperatures seem to be causing the problem.
I have heard tell of the computer gizmos being a link to the problem, but I am hesitant to sink more unneeded cash into this thing. I have spent over $2500 so far, and I can't believe nobody stands behind their work anymore. Does retarding the timing cause missing? Does that type of missing turn to surging at higher rpms? I am so used to tuning by hand, that this thing does not allow. Thanks for the tips. I will be checking them out this weekend.
|Does it have a knock sensor? If it does, maybe the excess heat is causing detonation, and the sensor is telling the computer to retard the timing.
I know the feeling
I have a 92 Caprice and I swapped engines with a 69 Chevelle 350. In doing so I neglected to reconnect any computer lines to the engine. I was running Blind basically, I had the exact problem you do, at higher temps it sputtered and jutted the engine even died a couple of times. What I did was replace the thermostat and get a flex fan. The Fan runs at the speed of the engine so it keeps it cooler even when in idle. Hope this helps.
PS: I am trying to locate a LT-1 Engine where did you get yours?
I do not claim to know a lot about all the new electric gizmos and computers on the NEW stuff. I did have the same basic problem on my Silverado (5.7 Vortec) and I changed the coolant sensor located next to the water themostat housing. A buddy told me his car was doing what mine and yours is doing and he changed the sensor. I tried it. It worked.
NO guantatees..........
LT-1 woes
Ok, I am having a very aggrevating problem with my 95 Buick Roadmaster. As with the Impala SS, it is outfitted with the LT-1 corvette motor. In the cooler months, it is amazing how fast this 4500 pound bohemouth gets moving. In the warmer months, it changes it's ways. The problem is a missing type of sound and hesitation. It is speratic. Sometimes the car runs just fine. If it has been sitting out in the hot sun all day, it is almost always bound to have the problem. Of course, running the A/C just intensifies the situation. It has been in 3 Goodwrench dealers, and 2 private garages. I have had almost everything replaced, and the problem is still there. The shops fix something and say it is fixed, then it starts doing it again on the way home. They have replaced the sparkplugs, plug wires, distributor, coil, catalytic converters, fuel pump, fuel filter, EGR valve, MAP sensor checked, and cleaned injectors and plenum. None of these have fixed the problem. The sparkplugs were replaced again, because they showed carbon striking (?). I have used octane booser a couple of times, and the car will run fine for a tank or 2, then just go back to missing. I tried just using the premium gas, but that did not make a difference. The problem is hesitation at low rpms. Whether I am just taking off or cruising down the interstate, it hesitates, spits, sputters until it gets revved up. Once it reaches the higher rpms, it pulls out of it, but it still has a surging type of feeling. During the winter months, it doesn't display any symptoms at all. If anyone has had such a problem or has any ideas on what else may be causing the problem, I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. Who else to ask about LT-1s than hotrodders, right?

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Consumer Financial Protection: Examining Market Failures
This seminar focuses on the conduct of benefit-cost analysis at the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). In particular, it will
concentrate on a November 2013 regulation that combines mortgage
disclosures mandated by the Truth in Lending Act and the Real
Estate Settlement Procedure Act, and on a January 2013 regulation
that defines the rules creditors must follow to verify consumers'
ability to repay mortgage loans (the Ability to Repay Qualified
Mortgage rule). The seminar will address the treatment of the
market failures that the regulation is intended to alleviate,
especially those that are not internalized by various market
participants, and the challenges of estimating and projecting
impacts with limited data and time pressure. It has been organized
by Lisa A. Robinson, M-RCBG senior fellow.
Presenter: Alexei Alexandrov is an economist in the CFPB's Office of Research. He was deeply involved in several recent CFPB regulations and one of the few economists involved in assessing their costs and benefits, including rules that address the ability to repay qualified mortgages, TILA-RESPA disclosures, escrows for higher priced mortgages, and appraisals for higher risk mortgages. Prior to working at CFPB, Dr. Alexandrov was an Assistant Professor of Economics and Management at University of Rochester's business school. He received his Ph.D. in Managerial Economics and Strategy from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management in 2007. Dr. Alexandrov has published several research articles in industrial organization economics, marketing, operations management, and antitrust law academic journals, and was an award-winning MBA instructor while he was at the University of Rochester.

DA investigating Colorado secretary of state
November 6, 2012
DENVER – A spokesman for Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler says his boss welcomes a thorough investigation to determine if Gessler violated the law by using state funds to attend a partisan event and spending $1,400 from his office account without receipts.
Denver district attorney spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough tells the Denver Post (http://tinyurl.com/cxsnbw3) a criminal probe has been launched into the allegations. Colorado's Independent Ethics Commission is also investigating.
Gessler's spokesman, Rich Coolidge, says the office fund is similar to the per diem given state lawmakers where no receipts are necessary.
Gessler is also under fire for using state funds to return early from the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. Colorado's elections chief says death threats were made against his family, prompting his early return.

Foundations, and corporations—that's who! Education Funding is like corporate gifts to students. Funding (monetary gifts with no required pay-back) and loans are offered every year to students seeking higher education.
These (and other) organizations have made billions of dollars available to average American students, in the form of education scholarships and student funding. These funding gifts allow students to pay for school without getting a student loan. Funders span a large range: from large, national organizations to very small, local ones; from public organizations to private. They donate to keep their non-profit status, or for tax benefits, or simply to promote education. Some education funding is funded with tax dollars, and the money has been allocated for only this purpose.
Funding allows people, such as yourself, to earn a higher education—whether it be licensing/certification from a technical or vocational school, an undergraduate or graduate degree, or a degree from a private school. Funding helps students pay for school expenses like tuition, books, fees, housing, food, etc. Such funding is offered to students who wish to pursue an education in any field: the arts, music, literature, education, environmental conservation, nutrition, health, human services, law, science, technology, athletics, social services, and dozens more.
Funding comes in all shapes and sizes—you just have to pick the one that's right for you:
Whatever your educational goals may be, funding is available to help you reach them.
"Easy to use. Go for It!"
Funding and scholarships from public and private foundations are available to finance college, trade school, or graduate school. Unlike scholarships that are given for academics, performing arts, or sports, these scholarships and funding programs are not academic or athletic—they are available to nearly every student.
At the least, hundreds of millions of dollars of scholarships are given out every year. And every year, numerous scholarships go unclaimed because no one applied for them! Most are of small- to medium-sized dollar amounts from community organizations. This funding is free, and they do not have to be repaid.
"Very clear and concise. Easy to use!"
Pell Funding is the most available (yet often overlooked) funding resource for students. Pell Funding is given to undergraduate (and certain post-graduate) students, based on financial need: the amount awarded depends on how much the student/family can pay, the cost of attendance, and the student's enrollment. This funding is distinct from all other college funding in that it is applicable to any of the participating 5,500+ national post-secondary institutions.
Sometimes, the college scholarship that you are offered covers only part of your tuition and expenses. This is why Stafford Loans are made available. These are loans with a low interest rate (currently 6% and decreasing). Like other student loans, Stafford Loans require no payment until schooling is complete.
There are two kinds of Stafford Loans: subsidized (no interest is accrued while you are attending school) and unsubsidized (you are responsible for paying all the interest). Eligibility for Subsidized Stafford Loans is based on financial need.
Other types of educational loans are available, from many sources. Like Stafford Loans, these University loans are recommended when funding or scholarships don't cover all your educational expenses.
Anyone who wants a higher education should consider applying for funding and scholarships—you can apply for as many as you like, and receive multiple! Corporations have cash to give you, through education funding set aside for students.
To be fair, not everyone receives funding. But what does it matter if you receive multiple no's, when all you need are a few yes's? You should focus on quickly finding and applying for all the funding sources for which you are eligible. That's why it's so essential to have a mentor, with all the resource information, to guide you through this process.
Education funding and financial assistance programs are plentiful, but acquiring them can feel like running a marathon: first, you research funding resources, then send applications and (sometimes) essays to those for which you are eligible—it can get overwhelming, especially without a mentor. Many people get discouraged and quit before they reach the finish line and acquire funding. We can help you reach that finish line. America's Got Funding guides you through the process, eliminating wasted time and effort searching for funding, buying how-to guides, and trying to understand the application procedure. With the right people supporting you, the entire process will become easier: organized, manageable, and realistic. You won't believe what you can accomplish for yourself!
America's Got Funding provides you with a comprehensive listing of funding, scholarships, and loans. The resources are even listed by category and school, so you can easily narrow your focus to the funding opportunities that are the best fit for you. Our research team is constantly updating our resource site, so you are always sure of finding the most comprehensive funding listings. When you choose to apply to our service, you gain access to all these resources, with a simple click of your mouse. This is your one-stop, self-help center for all of your educational funding applications needs.
Today, the entire funding-seeking process can be completed from your home, through the Internet. Working on your own, you'll likely spend a lot of time and only find some of the funding resources. It's up to you to speed up your progress and decrease your frustration by taking advantage of our thorough and extensive research.

University of Colorado Boulder faculty and students are part of international science teams that made two of the top 10 breakthroughs in physics in 2012 as judged by Physics World magazine.
A team involving CU-Boulder was cited for making the first direct observations of a phenomenon known as "time reversal violation" by measuring the rate atomic particles known as B mesons changed quantum states. The measurements essentially confirm that elementary reactions do not run the same forwards as backwards, at least for B mesons. The CU-Boulder team members included physics department faculty members William Ford, Uriel Nauenberg, Jim Smith and Steve Wagner, as well as postdoctoral researcher Alessandro Gaz.
The team analyzed data from the particle physics experiment known as BaBar housed at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, Calif. The CU physicists performed the analysis for about 25 of the roughly 500 scientific publications generated by research at the facility. Although the facility was shut down in 2008, there were as many as 500 researchers involved during its peak of operation and scientists are still combing through the data generated during the life of the project, said Ford.
In addition, CU-Boulder researchers were involved in detecting the first direct evidence for a new particle that likely is the long sought-after Higgs boson -- believed to endow the universe with mass -- another top 2012 breakthrough selected by Physics World. Comprised of thousands of scientists, students and support staff working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, the team has been conducting experiments at a facility known as the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, a 17-mile underground loop below the Swiss-French border in Geneva that is the world's most powerful atom smasher.
The CU-Boulder high-energy physics team, which includes 15 faculty and students, is involved with the Compact Muon Solenoid, or CMS, one of two massive particle detectors in the LHC and which weighs more than 12,500 tons. The CU team helped design and build the CMS forward pixel detectors -- the "eyes" of the device -- that help researchers measure the direction and momentum of subatomic particles following collisions, providing clues to their origin and structure.
In addition to Ford, Nauenberg, Smith, Wagner and Gaz, the team included faculty members John Cumulat and Kevin Stenson; postdoctoral researchers Eduardo Luiggi, Keith Ulmer and Shilei Zang; graduate students Brian Drell, Bernadette Heyburn and Andrew Johnson; and technical staff members Eric Erdos and Douglas Johnson.
In the most recent issue of U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Graduate Schools, CU-Boulder is tied for first in the nation for its atomic, molecular and optical physics program with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In addition, CU-Boulder's graduate program in quantum physics was ranked fifth in the nation by the magazine.
Physics World is a publication of the Institute of Physics, a worldwide scientific society with a membership of 45,000 and founded to work together to advance physics, education, research and application.

Campbell: "True Ambassador" for NZ
- Details
- Published on Friday, 23 March 2012 01:00
- Written by Melissa Couto
Just as people identify Neil Armstrong as the first man on the moon and Sir Edmund Hillary as the first man to climb Mount Everest, Scott Campbell is identified as the first man born and raised in New Zealand to be drafted by a Major League Baseball team.
Last Friday, the 27-year-old announced his retirement from the game, leading baseball-lovers across the globe to look back on a short but distinguished playing career that will continue to influence baseball in New Zealand for years to come.
Undeniably, being drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 10th round of the 2006 amateur draft is one of Campbell's brightest moments.
"I still remember that day, minute by minute. It was probably one of the happiest days of my life," he said earlier this month from Blue Jays spring training camp in Florida. "It showed people in New Zealand that doubted me that I was actually good at what I did and it was nice to finally get that recognition.
"Being first is a badge of pride I'll always wear," Campbell continued, "I knew then that even if I wasn't to go pro, I'd already done so much with baseball."
Those around the young Kiwi understood the significance of the draft, including his old infield coach at Gonzaga, Dan Evans.
"Scott was very excited to be selected by the Blue Jays but I would definitely say that he took the most pride in being the first New Zealand-born (and raised) player to be drafted," Evans recalled.
"One of the most interesting and impressive things about Scott was how quickly he turned the focus from him being drafted to using that to help other ball players in New Zealand get an opportunity to play baseball at the next level. He is a true ambassador for his country."
Mitch James, an outfielder with the Auckland Baseball Association's Bayside Westhaven Bisons and the New Zealand Junior Diamondblacks, is one young player who has learned a great deal from Campbell's career.
"I was about 10 years old and new to baseball," James said, recalling his memory of Campbell's draft. "At that time, I thought it was impossible to go anywhere with baseball, but then I saw that on the front page of the sport's section and thought, 'it actually is possible to go somewhere!'"
Campbell's baseball philosophy had an immediate impact on James, who met the Blue Jays prospect early last year when he coached New Zealand's 16U national team.
"Scott is so famous in the baseball community, but when I got to know him he was really approachable," James asserted. "I started to look up to him because of his work ethic. He always stressed that you have to work extremely hard to get where you want to be."
Dewald de Klerk is another young Kiwi who has been motivated by Campbell's career. Last year, the Junior Diamondblacks catcher followed in his fellow countryman's footsteps by migrating to the U.S. to pursue his dreams.
"Me moving to America has a lot to do with Scott," de Klerk said. "First of all, just hearing about his experience here [in Washington state] inspired me to better myself as a player. When I got the opportunity to play in the U.S., I knew I had to take it and see how far I could go with it.
"Secondly, he's been a great role model," the 17-year-old added. "Through the coaching and guidance he's given me, I've learned to play the game the right way."
In 2008 Campbell partook in the MLB All-Star Future's game in New York. As the team's only member to sport the flag of New Zealand on his uniform, he saw this event as validation for his years of hard work.
"The Future's game really symbolized for the first time that I had not only made it but I was someone who could play at the highest level," the proud Kiwi stated. "Having an opportunity to play at the old Yankee Stadium, where so many greats had once played, was an amazing feeling."
For those watching Campbell represent New Zealand from 14,000 km away, it was a surreal experience.
"I remember watching the game on TV at 5:30 am and feeling immense pride for him, for our family and for our country," said Aaron Campbell, Scott's older brother. "Not only was this a Kiwi playing baseball at Yankee Stadium, but this was my brother and best friend."
By the following year, Campbell was playing well at the Triple-A level when a labrum tear in his hip halted the upward climb he had been making through the Blue Jays organization. Three surgeries and countless hours of rehab later, pain and discomfort persists.
Sitting on a small wooden bench in 28-degree heat two weeks ago, Campbell foreshadowed his retirement from baseball, speaking candidly about the injury that has forced him out of the game.
"It's not anything I did and it's not anything that I can change. I've done all the rehab the way I was supposed to," Campbell said. "If I don't feel good in two or three weeks maybe that's my body's way of telling me it's time to hang up the cleats and move on with my life."
The look in his eyes matched the tone of his voice -- weary, slighted, but not conquered. Though his days with the Blue Jays organization are over, Campbell is not giving up on baseball.
Later this year, New Zealand will partake in a qualifying tournament for the World Baseball Classic, and Campbell may participate.
"From the perspective of someone who has a deep pride for his country, I'd love to play," the infielder said before announcing his retirement. "I certainly have that passion and that desire to play for New Zealand so I hope I get the chance to do so."
Although his departure from professional baseball makes this decision much more complicated, the 27-year-old has not dismissed the possibility of representing his country on the world stage.
"I have to make the right decisions for myself and for my family," said the newly-wed Campbell, "But I will take all the opportunities that come my way and do what's best for [my wife] Christina and I."
While Scott remains undecided, Aaron Campbell believes his brother will play.
"His retirement from professional baseball has more to do with the full-time, day-to-day grind of playing 160-odd games a year," the older Campbell explained. "Not many people know how physically and mentally demanding that is.
"At the WBC, I'm sure Scott can deal with pain for a week. For New Zealand to be competitive, we'll need his leadership, experience, and confidence."
If Campbell feels that playing is not a viable option when the time for a decision comes, he admittedly will have "a lot to offer" the team in a coaching position instead.
"It would be nice to know that the information I've learned over my years here [in the Blue Jays organization] would be going to some use," the Auckland-native said. "I would eventually like the opportunity to coach at any level."
According to National Development Coach Matt Mills, Baseball New Zealand can certainly appreciate the value Campbell could provide in this type of role.
"I've had the good fortune to coach with Scott before, with the 16U national team and it was a pleasure working with him," Mills said. "His talent as a player speaks for itself with our young athletes, and his ability to teach and pass along that knowledge to them would be a huge asset for our program."
Whether or not Campbell decides to contribute to New Zealand's first ever WBC team, he will continue to be a source of inspiration for a baseball program on the rise.
From Bobby Mattick Field, Campbell acknowledged this by offering up advice for the throngs of young ball players in his home country currently trying to make it in a tough baseball world.
"It's hard to be a baseball player in New Zealand, there's no doubt about it," the Kiwi trailblazer said. "It's difficult not having the facilities, not having that everyday playing experience we have over here [in the U.S.], but you can't make excuses.
"You have to try to keep getting better -- just keep doing what you do, and when you get the chance to play in college or wherever, take the opportunity that's presented to you and do your best with it."
As the interview drew to a close, Campbell stood, but not before contributing one last bit of encouragement for those who will represent the future of baseball in his nation.
"Don't let anyone put you down and don't let anyone else's opinion dictate what you want to do with your baseball career. I had plenty of people tell me that I wouldn't be good enough to play in college or university in the States, let alone play as a professional.
"You need to take that criticism and use it as motivation to get better."
In the words of his older brother, Scott Campbell is "New Zealand's first home-grown success story." He won't be the last.

Brand History
Clair Omar Musser was a gifted marimba performer, conductor, composer, and marimba designer. He was even trained as an aircraft engineer. In 1930, he became the chief engineer and designer for the JC Deagan Mallet Instrument Company and in 1948, left to start the Musser Mallet Company in the Chicago area.
Musser created the modern Vibraphone design and expanded the line into marimbas, xylophones, chimes, and orchestra bells. It would grow to become the most dominant mallet instrument company in the world.
In 1956, Musser sold his business to Lyons Band in Chicago. A few years later it was sold to Dick Richardson who grew the company further by creating a partnership with the Ludwig Drum Company to distribute products through the same sales team. During this era, jazz vibe legend Lionel Hampton became a major influence for the Musser Company.
In 1965, Ludwig acquired Musser creating a "Total Percussion" company with mallet instruments and drums. Artists like Gary Burton arrived on scene and elevated the Musser brand to new heights.
With a potential shortage of rosewood used to make bars for xylophones and marimbas in the 70's, Musser would be the first to develop a synthetic bar material made from Kelon ®, a special blend of fiberglass strands. This innovation allowed instruments to be used in outside weather elements in drum corps and marching bands.
In 1981, Ludwig Musser was sold to the Selmer Company. Production of Musser mallet instruments continued to be made in LaGrange, Illinois outside of Chicago until 2013 when production was moved to Elkhart, Indiana. Musser today is known as the choice for "sound" by professionals.

Northern Pass developers say they have new route
In an announcement posted as a "project update" on the Northern Pass website, spokesmen for Northeast Utilities said, "We are in the process of finalizing this new proposal and will soon be prepared to announce its specific details. This proposal was created in consideration of concerns raised regarding potential view impacts and private property issues."
The new route will be submitted to the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Commission for consideration and review.
The web post also states, "In response to the feedback we received, we have spent the past year identifying routing options that would locate the line on land that we own or that has easements we have obtained from willing sellers, and positions the line in a manner that reduces potential view impacts as much as possible."

Overview - Moonshot Takes Off
HP today announced the Moonshot 1500 server, their first official volume product in the Project Moonshot server product family (the initial Redstone, a Calxeda ARM-based server, was only available in limited quantities as a development system), and it represents both a significant product today and a major stake in the ground for future products, both from HP and eventually from competitors. It's initial attractions – an extreme density low power x86 server platform for a variety of low-to-midrange CPU workloads – hides the fact that it is probably a blueprint for both a family of future products from HP as well as similar products from other vendors.
Geek Stuff – What was Announced
The Moonshot 1500 is a 4.3U enclosure that can contain up to 45 plug-in server cartridges, each one a complete server node with a dual-core Intel Atom 1200 CPU, up to 8 GB of memory and a single disk or SSD device, up to 1 TB, and the servers share common power supplies and cooling. But beyond the density, the real attraction of the MS1500 is its scalable fabric and CPU-agnostic architecture. Embedded in the chassis are multiple fabrics for storage, management and network giving the MS1500 (my acronym, not an official HP label) some of the advantages of a blade server without the advanced management capabilities. At initial shipment, only the network and management fabric will be enabled by the system firmware, with each chassis having up two Gb Ethernet switches (technically they can be configured with one, but nobody will do so), allowing the 45 servers to share uplinks to the enterprise network.

Don't stay off the forum just cause some people get their feathers ruffled now and then ...... Me too..I for one really like L&M products and innovative design ideas! Politically I may disagree but so what I still like L& M. Hope there's no hard feelings. .Love my la choppers so I probably wouldn't be a candadite for those but would love to see a redesigned tank or chopped Rear fender!
I'm working with a company, that asked me " If you were to pick one bike to make exhaust for, what would you suggest?" my response... of course the Yamaha Raider. So as of now I have no pictures, but they told me last week they are close to having something soon. I should be talking with them before the Holiday to get more details. Those of you that are interested please email me at email@example.com I can contact you with pictures, prices and time frame.Thank you all for the interest, but there seems to be some pissed off or frustrated members with me and the none evolving Raider Bagger concept. I will just respect them and stay off the forum.Chris
Chris....I agree with the others.... don't shy away from here because somebody got their panties in a wad... $hit happens.Low and Mean has been a great contributor not only to the Raider community but specifically to this site. All of us can't thank you enough for the time, effort and vison that you've put forth for the Raider.

What's with the unfriendlies?
What was unfriendly about this video??
What's with the unfriendlies?
What was unfriendly about this video??
I wish I could say I'm impressed, but that was pretty unimpressive.
Kind of a disapointment, even for a beta. Didn't look like it did in the pictures....
How long are they going to take? If this was a recent video, they sure have a lot to do. Props were missing (mainly tables), map's unfinished, weapons are unanimated/half-life originals.
This is more an alpha than a beta.
Meh. I gotta agree with you.
Let's just hope the final version gets better.
They've been at this damn mod for years, literally years.
That map was still early in development. The last portion of the video is just showing the rest of the layout
Obviously an official piece of media, of a finished level. :rolleye:
Wait for the real thing.
Yeah, let's just watch those trailers of finished levels.
This was leaked TWO YEARS AGO now.
This leak is old as shit and Black Mesa is still far, faaar from done, anyway. This is a huge project because Half Life 1 is a massive game so how about you guys fucking shut up and wait for it? I can't believe it. So many people are spending their leisure on this and all you can do is yell at a video of an old leak. It's incredible. Pull your heads out of your asses. This goes to the first three posters. You guys really deserve a huge facepalm image.
I can't believe it.
For the release I'd say early 09 if we're lucky.
Thanks for ruining my imagination.
Never mind, apparently this is really old.
Well, you didn't HAVE to watch it.0mighty_K posted:
That's because...that's exactly what it is.Joerdgs posted:
This was the Alpha 5 leak that happened at least 2 years ago...
In a world without tables there is..Gordon freeman.
They'd better allow you to kill unneeded NPCs :argh:
So... this is the mod that they have been working for... like year? It don't look anything like it did look at the videos.
drive_the_hive posted:My logic is fail-safeJoerdgs posted:
Anyway, I hope they release it before it turns too old. Half-Life 2 won't last forever.
Oh god this is old as fuck.
Heh, pretty sweet. I think I'll prefer the offical video release (one day? :() however.
Really, I'm going to download it the day it comes out, 'cause I'm sure garry will put the little yellow bar at the top saying "Black Mesa Source is almost out. Please talk about it here"drive_the_hive posted:
The first plaza room looked great, hope they do get fancy weapon models.
Please see the posts above you...alt-papu2 posted:
for a beta, that was great. all the weapons are functioning, and they have the level layout down perfectly. even the first room has some good decorations... it's a start.
Can someone post the models from it? I'd like to see them.
Was cool while it lasted.
I refuse to watch unintentionally released material. I'm gonna leave these guys to their anonymity, and not judge them on unfinished work.
I wish the guys at Valve would atleast give us some news on it once in a while like they do with everything else =/
Hahaha that's the ALPHA dude, i got that one like 2 years ago?!
the guys of valve don't work on the projectAlpha Hawk posted:
it are just mod makers just like garry.
I think the map would be done right now if that was a alpha from 2 years back :)
. .
I hope so :(
This is two years old.
Yeah, really really old. Don't worry, the actual thing will be awesome.
That guy who made the video annoyed me.
i mean, did he REALLY have to stop to look at every single sign and computer screen?

Arsène Wenger says he will look for internal solutions to get his side back on track before considering his January transfer targets.
Arsenal slipped to their second home defeat of the season on Saturday against Swansea, and now lie 10th in the Premier League table.
Wenger admits he is concerned about his team's form at Emirates Stadium, but says it is important to stick together if they are to build momentum.
"We have a lot of important games until January," the manager said. "We'll decide [on targets] in January but at the moment, we have to find solutions before then.
"At the moment there is uncertainty among the fans, they do not have complete confidence that we will win the game but does it have an influence on our performances? I don't know.
"I feel we have to look at the solution from inside, and don't expect too much from outside."
Despite his disappointment at the Swansea result, Wenger insists it is not time to hit the panic button.
"You can see with the results, it's difficult for everybody at the moment," he said. "All the teams, even those who invested a lot of money, it's difficult for everybody.
"You have to keep the focus, the desire and the ambition, and turn it on. That's how it works in the season. You cannot always jump to definitive conclusions from one game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk.

Box score
AMHERST, Mass. - Will Manny posted a game-high seven points and Kyle Smith scored three goals as the No. 11 UMass men's lacrosse team defeated No. 12 Bucknell 11-9 on Saturday afternoon at Garber Field. Manny went over the 100-point plateau for his career with three goals and four assists.
UMass improves to 2-0 on the season, while the Bison fall to 0-2 overall. The Minutemen will head to Ohio State next Saturday for a 1 PM opening faceoff.
Along with Manny and Smith, Mike Fetterly recorded a four-point game with a goal and three assists, while Art Kell scored a goal and added two assists. Defensively, Tom Celentani led the way with four caused turnovers, while Tim McCormack made six saves in the win.
The Minutemen never trailed in the game jumping out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of Smith goals in the first seven minutes of the first quarter. The Bison rallied back to tie the game 2-2 with 4:41 left, however, neither team was able to score again in the opening stanza.
With a man-up advantage to start the second quarter, Colin Fleming cashed in to put UMass up 3-2 in the first nine seconds of play. Bucknell tied the game just over two minutes later as Chase Bailey scored his second of the day converting on the man-up advantage for the Bison.
A pair of UMass goals from Manny and Grant Whiteway gave the Minutemen some breathing room going into halftime with a 5-3 lead.
Just over two minutes into the third quarter, Smith scored his third of the day to extend the lead to three goals. Back-to-back goals from Steve D'Amario and Fetterly separated by just 52 seconds put UMass up 8-4 with 7:16 left in the third.
The Bison cut the lead back to two goals with goals from Burke and Dickson coming just 33 seconds apart making it an 8-6 game with 6 minutes left in the third.
A good start to the four quarter with a man-up goal and an even-strength goal from Manny put UMass back up by four, 10-6, with just over 12 minutes remaining in the game.
Bucknell scored three of the last four goals in the game to give the final score including a pair by Billy Eisenreich who finished with three goals and three assists to lead the Bison.
The Bison outshot UMass 30-to-28 for the game, but committed 17 to just 13 for the Minutemen. Both teams had a pair of man-up goals with UMass going 2-for-3 and Bucknell 2-for-5.

NC Becomes Latest State to Threaten Tesla's Direct Sales to Customers
Brandon Hill
May 14, 2013 11:33 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Bill sponsor received $8,000 in campaign donations from the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association
Living in the
Research Triangle Park
(RTP) area of North Carolina, which I nickname Silicon Valley East, I quite frequently see Tesla Model S sedans and Roadsters silently cruising down city streets and interstates. However, the North Carolina Senate Commerce Committee unanimously approved a measure that would make it
illegal for Tesla Motors to sell vehicles directly to customers
without the ever-present "middleman" in new car transactions: car dealerships.
Not surprisingly, the NC Automobile Dealers Association (which represents North Carolina's franchised car dealership) is behind this latest stab at Tesla. But according to NC ADA President Robert Glasser, this isn't an attack specifically aimed at Tesla. Glasser notes that the precedent Tesla has set for direct sales could set into motion a chain of events that would topple the entire dealership model of business.
"We care about the franchise system," said Glaser. "The whole point of the retail system is to protect the consumer."
Of course, Tesla Motors sees things quite differently. "They're trying to insulate the dealer franchise model from any competition," said Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla's VP of Corporate and Business Development. "It's a protectionist move to lock down the market so we have to go through the middleman – the dealer – to sell our cars."
And here's an interesting tidbit that shines a whole new light on the story.
reports that Sen. Tom Apodaca, the Republican sponsor of the bill, received $8,000 in campaign donations (the maximum allowed by state law) from the NC ADA.
It's pretty clear to see why dealerships are shaking in their boots at the prospect of Tesla (and other auto manufacturers) selling directly to customers. Tesla managed to deliver a whopping
4,750 Model S sedans to customers during the month of April
. Compared to other luxury sedans that also dance in the $70,000 to $100,000+ price range, the Model S outpaced monthly sales of the Audi A8 (1,462 units), BMW 7-Series (2,338), Lexus LS (2,860) and Mercedes S Class (3,077).
Tesla Model S
Tesla has sold 80 Model S sedans in North Carolina and has an additional 60 orders in queue from residents. The overwhelming majority of those sales have come via the internet.
And one could argue that an electric vehicle like the Model S needs less attention from dealerships due to the much lower maintenance needs of the electric motor and battery pack. Quite simply, there is potentially less to go wrong with a Model S compared to BMW 750i with its twin-turbocharged V8 and 8-speed automatic transmission.
Despite this new speed bump in Tesla's road to electric vehicle proliferation, the company has been showered with a wealth of good news in the past week. Last week, Tesla reported its
first profit in its ten years of existence
Consumer Reports
gave the Model S a
near perfect rating
: 99 out of 100 possible points.
stock is up 57 percent
since its quarterly earnings were released last Thursday to just under $90/share.

Spring Viruses
While it is warming up here in Dallas, many parts of the country are still seeing freezing temperatures and even snow! Even so, I am beginning to see typical spring illnesses like Fifth's disease.
Fifth disease is a common viral illness seen in children, often in the late winter and spring. Many of these children look like they have gotten a little sun burn on their faces (just as your child starts playing outside) as they often show up in my office with the typical slapped cheek rash on their faces. At the same time they may also have a lacy red rash on their arms and legs, and occasionally even their trunks.
Fifth's is also called erythema infectiosum and is so named as it is the fifth of the six rash associated illnesses of childhood. Fifth disease is caused by Parvovirus B19, which is a virus that infects humans. It is NOT the same parvovirus that infects your pet dog or cat, so do not fear your child will not give it to their pet or vice a versa. In most cases a child may have very few symptoms of illness, other than the rash. In some cases a child may have had a low-grade fever, or runny nose or just a few days of not feeling well and then the rash may develop several days later. The rash may also be so insignificant as to not be noticed. When I see a child with Fifth disease it is usually an easy diagnosis based on their few symptoms and the typical rash.
Although children with Fifth are probably contagious at some time during their illness, it is thought that by the time the rash occurs the contagious period has passed. This is why you never know where you got this virus. (the incubation period is somewhere between 4-20 days after exposure). Parvovirus B19 may be found in respiratory secretions and is probably spread by person to person contact. During outbreaks it has been reported that somewhere between 10-60% of students in a class may become infected.
Most adults have had Fifth disease and may not even have remembered it, as up to 20% of those infected with parvovirus B19 do not develop symptoms, so it is often not a memorable event during childhood.
Fifth disease is another one of those wonderful viruses that resolves on its own. I like to refer to the treatment as "benign neglect" as there is nothing to do! The rash may take anywhere from 7–10 days to resolve. I do tell parents that the rash may seem to come and go for a few days and seems to be exacerbated by sunlight and heat. So, it is not uncommon to see a child come in from playing on a hot sunny day and the rash is more obvious on those sun exposed areas.
Occasionally a child will complain of itching, and you can use a soothing lotion such as Sarna or even Benadryl to relieve problematic itching. A cool shower or bath at the end of a warm spring day may work just as well too. Children who are immunocompromised, have sickle cell disease, or have leukemia or cancer may not handle the virus as well and they should be seen by their pediatrician. But in most cases there is no need to worry about Fifth disease, so it is business as usual with school, spring days at the park and Easter parties.
That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow.

The information is used in preparing news releases and other promotional activities.
The Office of Marketing and Recruitment maintains a photography service that provides photographic support for the college news service, publications, advertising, exhibits and other visual communications projects.

Like news suggestions, the office is interested in learning about special photo opportunities that may arise in a particular program or college service area.

Faculty and professional staff who need a personal photograph for professional reasons may submit a request to the Office of Marketing and Recruitment . For more information, contact the Associate Dean of College Relations, ext. 2210.
Every program and service of South Plains College needs to be known and understood by the general public in the college's service area. To accomplish this, various forms of promotion can be utilized.

A printing guide is available in the Office of Marketing and Recruitment in addition to graphic design services that may be called upon for production of in-house duplicated materials.

South Plains College recognizes that its greatest resource is its employees who work together to accomplish the college's vision and fulfill its mission in serving students and the community.

Chelsea Duffy Earns ECAC All-Star Status for Women's Soccer
CENTERVILLE, Mass. – The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) has named Chelsea Duffy of the University of Delaware women's soccer team as one of its 33 All-Star selections for the recently completed 2013 season.

Duffy, who most recently earned NSCAA All-Region honors, was named to the ECAC second team. In November, Duffy also earned the first All-Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) first team honor of her career as she played her last season as a Blue Hen this fall. The quick and agile midfielder finished her senior season ranked second on the team in points (10), scoring three goals and passing out four assists.
The Glassboro, N.J. native was one of five student-athletes who represented the CAA on the ECAC All-Star squad. Sam Scolarici and Leah Galton of Hofstra earned second team honors while Hanna Terry of Northeastern and Becky Sparks of James Madison were named to the ECAC first team.

Why Aren't You a Democrat?
posted at 8:39 am on June 25, 2012 by Amy Lutz
Today is my birthday. However, I was treated to an early birthday present in the form of a wonderfully hilarious YouTube video. Over the weekend, this campaign video from Ryan Combe of Utah was plastered all over my Facebook news feed from my left leaning friends. So, naturally, I had to see what all the fuss was about. I wanted to fill my brain with the incredible liberal logic (an oxymoron, I know) that my friends claimed this video represented. While I couldn't locate the intelligent logic, I did enjoy the video, though perhaps not for the same reasons.
This campaign video details a conversation between a college-aged boy and his "Proud Republican" parents. At the onset of the video, the boy breaks the news to his parents that he is a Democrat. In false stereotypical fashion, both parents break into hysterics. Besides the comedic value, what I enjoyed about this campaign video was its reliance upon typical Republican stereotypes and flimsy liberal arguments. It's basically a minute and a half of the liberal platform complete with easily debunked planks. Naturally, I could not resist taking this video down a peg by taking on each of the son's flimsy liberal arguments about his party-switch. Arguments like this:
"I just want to help those less fortunate than I am."
I guess the implication here is that Republicans do not care about the less fortunate? Just because you have two different approaches toward relieving poverty does not imply that one side does not care about the poor. Ideologically, the main difference between conservative and liberal approaches to poverty is the source of the assistance. Liberals tend to believe that government should have a large hand in assisting the poor while conservatives put more of our stock into private charity. The conservative argument was clearly articulated long ago by Benjamin Franklin who stated, "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it." Perhaps that seems harsh to many liberals. However, it's nothing more than common sense. Conservatives favor "hand-ups" not "hand-outs." The liberal solution to poverty is perhaps more harmful to those living below that poverty line than the conservative solution. How will someone ever rise above their situation if they are made comfortable with numerous welfare handouts?
"I don't want my student loan rates to go up; but not at the expense of women and children's preventative healthcare."
This argument refers to a plan suggested by Republicans a few weeks ago designed to keep student loan interest rates from rising automatically on July 1st. The plan passed in the House includes taking the necessary funds from the portion of Obamacare known as the "Prevention and Public Health Fund." Clearly, this is an attempt to take down Obamacare piecemeal should it not be overturned by the Supreme Court. Regardless, this plan has faced opposition from people on the right and left, including from the Heritage Foundation. At least it's a solution. To place the blame for failure to reach a deal solely on Republicans is naive. One could just as easily argue that the ball in in the Democrats court and they have simply been standing on the sidelines. Where is their plan to solve the student loan crisis? For that matter, where's their budget? But I digress…While a deal perhaps needs to be made now, at least on a temporary basis, I contend that the government shouldn't be in the business of subsidizing student loans in the first place. Government subsidized student loans both lead to increased education costs and a greater burden on taxpayers. Thus, you can imagine my extreme "delight" when I opened my financial aid package last summer only to realize that I was not 100% a client of the US government.
"We should tax the oil companies to better fund education."
This suggestion is indicative of most liberal arguments in a nutshell: Instill a punitive tax and then give the revenue from the tax to education. Adding education to anything, even tax hikes, makes people feel good about themselves doesn't it? However, this fallacy didn't stop President Obama from suggesting that Congress needs to end "Big Oil tax breaks." Well, give me a break. First off, according to an article in The Daily Caller last year, oil companies do not even receive tax breaks, at least not in the way that Democrats are portraying. Although oil is an industry just like any other industry, including those of "alternative" energy, they are often portrayed as enormous, corrupt monsters of death. Talk about vilifying success. Second, increasing taxes on oil companies will do more harm than good. Liberals might not want to admit this, but the oil industry is behind a lot of economic success right now. They have provided thousands of jobs to our fragile economy. What are the odds that no one in the oil industry will be laid off if the entire industry faces steep tax hikes? It's probably about the same as the odds of Barack Obama admitting he's wrong about. About anything. Also, you want energy prices to go up? Well, then by all means, tax the oil companies. "Big Oil" is less likely to drill for new sources of oil if they're being taxed to death. America is on a freeway towards economic demise. Next stop: skyrocketing energy costs.
"I believe that men and women in this country deserve equal rights and equal opportunities under the law."
I don't even know how to approach this one. However, I'm in a valuable position, being an "oppressed" woman and all, so let me take a stab at it. Sure, men and women face different treatment in the media, workplace, etc. but that's always been a fact and the street goes both ways. However, that's a social reality, not a legal reality. Based on law, men and women are equal. I'd like to enlighten my Democratic friends with the fact that it is 2012, not 1912. I can vote, run for office, and enter the workforce just like any man. The "War on Women," is just a construct created by the left in an attempt to get their socially liberal policies enacted. Just because I don't get free contraception and easy access to abortion doesn't mean I'm being oppressed or faced legal inequality.
"I don't think that if someone loses their job or gets sick that they should go bankrupt and lose their homes."
Sure, if this happens, it's unfortunate and sad. If people weren't so dependent upon the government, the maybe private charity could step in. However, this argument is not accurate. Most people who file for bankruptcy actually get to keep their homes. It's actually bankruptcy itself which gives people the option for a fresh start. However, for liberals, this is never good enough. They always want more and more government. But the more government programs we have, the more chance of there being abuse of the system. Our government already does do a lot for people who lose their jobs, and in the end it's not exactly a good thing. The number of weeks people can spend on unemployment benefits drastically increased last year. A safety net may be necessary, but 53 weeks of paid vacation is more like a safety bed.
"I believe in good, affordable healthcare for everyone."
Obviously, this statement implies that Republicans are against good and affordable healthcare because we oppose the destructive entitlement known as Obamacare. Rather, it's quite the opposite because Obamacare will provide healthcare that is neither good nor affordable. Thankfully (or perhaps, unfortunately) we have the "great" examples of socialized medicine in Canada and Europe to look forward to should Obamacare withstand legal scrutiny. You want good healthcare? Don't go to Canada or Europe. In the UK, a 3-year-old was denied a life-saving heart surgery because there were simply not enough beds available for doctors to perform the surgery. Another woman was denied treatment because she had the "audacity" to seek out a private doctor for relief to her crippling back pain after she had been on a waiting list for surgery for months. God forbid someone seek out the advice of a private doctor.
Neither is socialized medicine affordable. The health care system in Canada lost taxpayers approximately $3 billion dollars in 2011. That's just what our failing economy needs: another bloated entitlement. No wonder the UK is moving towards privatized healthcare. In addition, you know who's going to be the most injured by Obamacare? The youth (aka Obama's most powerful voting bloc). Young people typically pay much less for healthcare, but under Obamacare, we will have to pay much more to support the increased number of people on the government's dime. If Obamacare remains viable, our nation has nothing to look forward to but healthcare rationing, poor health care services, and an even further damaged economy.
At the end of this campaign video, Ryan Combe states, "Why aren't you a Democrat? It might not be as bad as you think." Well, if I have to judge the Democratic party based upon this video filled with inaccurate, insulting stereotypes and flimsy liberal arguments, then I'll pass. Unfortunately, I seem to be in the minority. This video is obviously targeted at the young and uninformed voters. Many, like my peers who seem enthralled by this video, fail to pick apart its terrible arguments. This video may be an insult to my intelligence, but I actually enjoy it. Very rarely do liberals put many of their unintelligent arguments in such a bite sized form. I'm glad I could get such a laugh from it. Now excuse me, I'm going to scout out my birthday cake and keep an eye on today's Supreme Court rulings.

Franco Baldini has quashed rumours of a move to Tottenham by insisting he is fully committed to his current job as general manager of Roma.
Tottenham are looking to change their management structure by bringing in a technical director or recruitment specialist to aid current head coach Andre Villas-Boas.
Baldini, who spent over four years as England's assistant manager under Fabio Capello, has been heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane but insists he is content with life in the Italian capital.
"I have nothing to say on this matter as I have an obligation over here with Roma, it is a long project to which I am committed," he told ESPN.
Former Barcelona technical director Txiki Begiristain has also been linked with a new role within Tottenham's hierarchy.
Villas-Boas would welcome the appointment of a technical director, having worked under one during his time at Academica de Coimbra and FC Porto.
