This guest post is by Chloe, a Live Exhibits keeper at Melbourne Museum.
At Live Exhibits we like to keep a range of funnel-web species. This way we can represent not only the infamous Sydney Funnel-web spider, but the majority of Australian funnel-web species in our exhibits.
As it had been six years since Live Exhibits' last trip to Nariel Valley, it was time for Jessie, Patrick and I to pack up the car and head off on a field trip in the to find some Alpine Funnel-webs (Hadronyche alpina).

Local resident Mrs Brown originally alerted the museum's Discovery Centre to the presence of a population of Alpine Funnel-webs in the Nariel Valley and more particularly her front lawn. Young funnel-webs emerge from their mother's burrow, find an attractive burrow site, and then burrow down, which makes for high density populations. For us, this leads to quick collection of multiple specimens.
After finding three funnel-webs around our campsite it was time to head off to Mrs Brown's place, where she showed four large burrows. We started digging holes in the mud more than 30cm deep, a process much more lengthy than expected, using only a desert spoon to dig, trying not to destroy Mrs Brown's lawn or injure the spiders. Finally we produced four plump female funnel-webs (which were less than happy about being disturbed) then we balanced them on a spoon to be transferred into their new glass homes.

Soaking wet with seven funnel-webs under our belt and no sign of any more, it was time to head off to Omeo.
The following day drove up the windy, fog-covered hills to Mt Hotham, where we began our search for Alpine Thermocolour Grasshoppers (Kosciuscola tristis), Alpine Blistered Pyrgomorphs, (Monistria concinna), Mountain Katydids (Acripeza reticulata) and Alpine Katydids (Tinzeda albosignata).

On warmer days these invertebrates would be sitting up on small bushes and grass clumps, enjoying the sun. However on cooler foggy days, like the day of our visit, many of the invertebrates sink lower into the foliage to protect themselves against the elements, making our search a little harder and much wetter. Thankfully I had donned plastic pants and a rain coat which made the perfect outfit, although they didn't help the situation in my boots, which contained enough water to fill a small lake.

During the morning of searching, Patrick's alter ego Taxon Boy didn't let us down, helping us bag 48 Thermocolour Grasshoppers, 7 Alpine Katydids, 1 Mountain Katydid, 12 Alpine Blistered Pyrgomorphs and a female Alpine Wolf Spider (Lycosa sp.).

We made one final stop on our long drive back to the museum to collect some eucalyptus for our stick insects; here Taxon Boy also stumbled across some large Garden Orb-weavers (Nephila edulis) which you can now see on display in the Orb wall in Bugs Alive! at Melbourne Museum.

The Buzz about STEM at CCPL
February 6th, 2013
Lately, there's been a lot of talk about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education in our community. It's not just the latest buzz word– data now shows that STEM learning helps our students to be more successful in college and as they enter the workforce, our citizens to find better paying jobs, and our country to compete on the global stage.
Did you know that the library provides opportunities for everyone in the community to expand their STEM knowledge? From after school and Summer Reading programs for children and teens, to Science Cafes and 24/7 access to 21st century technology, there's something for everyone. Check out this amazing infographic from Edutopia to get a few ideas of just how big the STEM impact really is.
This Saturday, the Elkton Central Library will host In the Spirit of Ron McNair: Astronaut, American Hero. US Army Aerospace Engineer Mark Thomas will tell us more about one of the world's first African American astronauts and the ill-fated Challenger mission in this special all-ages program, presented in conjunction with the Iota Nu Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Service Fraternity.
Teens have the opportunity to explore basic science principles while participating in Valentine's Day-themed activities and experiments at the Chesapeake City branch's I Heart Science program on Tuesday, February 12th at 3:30pm, and teens at the Perryville branch will experiment with Food Scientists on Thursday, February 21st at 3pm. Be sure to check out the details on Cecilwood 2013, our annual short film festival where teens have the opportunity to create and produce a 5-minute film around the theme "In a Word."
We'll be celebrating National Engineering Week (February 17th-23rd) with some fun engineering programs for children on Wednesday, February 20th at 3:30pm, including LEGO Club Afternoon Fun at the Perryville Branch and a special challenge presented by engineers from the US Army Research Lab at APG.

Quickly: Southern Utah University says goodbye to its 2012 senior class Saturday when the Thunderbirds host Eastern Washington, the top-ranked team in the FCS, in their final home game of the season.
Southern Utah (3-5/2-3 Big Sky) will be looking to break through at home in a Big Sky game for the first time on Saturday. The Thunderbirds are 2-0 in conference road games but are 0-3 at home in BSC play. Last week the Thunderbirds lost a 24-22 decision to Weber State at home, one week after traveling to Montana and coming away with a 30-20 road win. The Thunderbirds opened BSC play with their first-ever win at Portland State, a 49-42 victory, but lost back-to-back home games to Montana State (24-17) and Sacramento State (27-22) the following two weeks.
Eastern Washington (6-1/5-0 Big Sky) stayed unbeaten in conference play with a 31-28 home win over Sacramento State last week. The Eagles, who are No. 1 in both major FCS polls for the second straight week, have also notched conference wins at Weber State (32-26) and Montana State (27-24), and have home BSC victories over Montana (32-26), North Dakota (55-17) and Sacramento State.

The Coaches
A 2010 Eddie Robinson Award nominee, SUU's Ed Lamb (BYU, 1996) has a record of 24-28 in his fifth season as the Thunderbird head coach and his fifth season as a head coach overall. Last year Lamb guided the Thunderbirds to their second straight winning season and their first win over an FBS-level opponent (UNLV) since 1997. He led the team to a Great West Conference championship in 2010 when the Thunderbirds went undefeated in GWC play and finished the season with a 6-5 overall mark. Prior to taking over at SUU, Lamb spent three seasons at the University of San Diego where he coordinated the special teams and recruiting and was the Toreros' defensive backs coach. Prior to his time at USD Lamb spent two seasons as defensive coordinator at Idaho. He also served a season at BYU as a linebackers coach and four seasons at the University of Redlands, three as defensive coordinator and one as defensive line coach. Coach Lamb is 0-1 vs. Eastern Washington.
Beau Baldwin (Central Washington, 1996), fifth season as a head coach, takes a record of 39-17 - all at EWU - into the game. Coach Baldwin is 2-0 vs. the Thunderbirds.
Affiliations: Southern Utah is beginning its first season in the Big Sky Conference following eight years as a member of the Great West Conference. Eastern Washington is also a member of the Big Sky.
Captains: This year's captains are seniors Brad Sorensen (QB) and Cody Larsen (DT).
Killebrew Named National Co-Freshman of the Week: SUU free safety Miles Killebrew was named national co-Freshman of the Week by The Sports Network for his performance in the Thunderbirds' 49-42 win at Portland State. Killebrew tallied 15 tackles in the game, including 11 solo stops. It was the highest tackles total by an SUU freshman since the 2002 season when Steve Smith tallied 21 at Arkansas State and the most by any T-Bird since 2009. One of Killebrew's tackles went for a loss and he also broke up a pass against the Vikings.
Big Sky Players of the Week: Southern Utah's Brock Miller was named the ROOT Sports Big Sky Conference Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance last week at Montana. Miller punted seven times for 301 yards and pinned the Grizzlies inside their own 20 yard line four times. Montana didn't have much luck returning Miller's punts either, as the Grizzlies wound up with minus-two punt return yards. Miller's biggest contribution came when he didn't punt the ball, however, instead tucking it and running 22 yards on fourth and two to sustain an SUU drive that led to the field goal that gave the Thunderbirds the lead for good.
Josh Smith was named the ROOT Sports Big Sky Conference Special Teams Player of the Week following his performance at Portland State. The redshirt freshman from South Jordan, Utah (Bingham HS) returned six kickoffs a total of 173 yards, including a 95-yard return for a touchdown to open the second half. His total return yardage ranks fifth all-time on the SUU single-game kickoff return charts and his 95-yard return is tied for the sixth-longest return in SUU history. He is the first player in the Sky to return a kickoff for a touchdown this season.
College Football Performance Awards: Three Thunderbirds were honored by CFPA following the Weber State game: QB Brad Sorensen, K Colton Cook and P Brock Miller. Sorensen completed 33-of-47 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown while Cook converted 3-of-3 field goals and Miller averaged 51.6 yards per punt on five punts.
SUU In The FCS National Ranks:
SUU has 11 players ranked among the FCS top-50 in 16 statistical categories this week, while the team figures among the top-50 programs in six major categories and among the top-30 in three.
Defense: Linebacker Zac Browning ranks seventh in total tackles with an average of 11.57 per game. Defensive tackle Cody Larsen ranks 22nd in tackles for loss with an average of 1.38 per game while DE James Cowser is 27th in TFLs with 1.31 per game.

SUU is also tied for third with just two fumbles lost and tied for 21st in interceptions with nine.
Notes from the Weber State Game: SUU went without an interception for the first time all season against the Wildcats. ... Colton Cook was 3-for-3 on field goals, giving him two games this season with three field goals, the second-highest single-game total in SUU history. ... Brad Sorensen completed a season-high 33 passes against WSU. ... Brock Miller punted five times for 258 yards, an average of 51.6 yards per punt, which is the third-best single-game average in SUU history. ... LB Mike Needham led the team in tackles with a career-high 13, one better than his previous best of 12, a tally he finished with against both Sacramento State and Montana.
Into the Record Books: Brad Sorensen moved atop the SUU career-passing list with his 327-yard game against Sacramento State. That game gave him 7,639 passing yards in his three seasons at SUU and moved him past Rick Robins, who threw for 7,441 yards from 1992-96. Sorensen became the first Thunderbird to pass for over 8,000 yards against Weber State when he threw for 320, giving him a career total of 8,313 yards. Sorensen also passed Robins to move into second place on the total yards list vs. CSUS. Sorensen now has 8,231 total yards while Matt Cannon, who ran for a good portion of his yards, is atop the list with 8,930 yards, from 1997 to 2000. Earlier this season Sorensen set the record for career touchdown passes and completed passes. He currently has 56 TD tosses and has completed 702 passes, and he moved into first place on the pass attempts list vs. Weber State, with 1,059.
Eagle Notes:
Eastern Washington has proven itself on the road this season. The Eagles are 3-1 away from Roos Field, including a 20-3 win at FBS-level Idaho, and their lone loss was a 24-20 setback at Washington State. The other road wins came at Weber State (32-26) and at Montana State (27-24). The Eagles have only been involved in one lop-sided game, a 55-17 home win over North Dakota, and outside that game and the Idaho game the margin of victory in the other five EWU contests has been less than a touchdown.
The Eagle offense averages 146.4 yards per game on the ground and 269.0 through the air for 415.4 yards per game, while the defense has given up 363.6 yards per game, 154.5 on the ground and 209.1 through the air.
The Eagles use two quarterbacks, junior Kyle Padron (6-4, 220), a transfer from SMU who started the first two games of the season, and redshirt freshman Vernon Adams (6-0, 180), who has started every subsequent game. Padron has completed 62-of-124 passes for 978 yards and six touchdowns, while Adams is 73-118 for 893 yards and 10 scores. Both QBs have thrown four interceptions.
Wide receiver Brandon Kaufman (6-5, 215, Jr) leads the team with 36 receptions for 711 yards and eight touchdowns, while WR Greg Herd (6-3, 200, Sr) has caught 31 balls for 380 yards and four scores. Ashton Clark (5-11, 185, Jr) has 21 receptions for 277 yards and two TDs.
When it comes to rushing the football, Quincey Forte has carried 81 times for 315 yards, 45.0 yards per game, with a touchdown, while Jordan Talley has 63 rushes for 218 yards, 43.6 ypg, and three TDs in five games. Adams is third on the team with 32.8 yards per game on the ground and Demetrius Bronson averages 37.2 rushing yards and has scored two touchdowns in five games.
Defensively the Eagles have been led by LB Ronnie Hamlin (6-2, 210, Jr), who has 69 tackles, with four tackles for loss and he is one of the team's five players with an interception. LB Grant Williams (6-1, 225, Sr) is second on the team with 53 tackles. DE Jerry Ceja (6-3, 220, Sr) leads the Eagles in both TFLs and sacks, with nine and eight, respectively.
Young Defense:
First-year players have done well for the Thunderbirds all season, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. The young defenders have dominated the SUU stat sheet in four of the seven games and had significant impact on all six Big Sky contests so far.
A look at SUU's season statistics shows the top five tacklers are first-year starters, and four of those are freshmen, including linebacker Zak Browning, who leads the team with 81 tackles as a true freshman. Miles Killebrew, a redshirt freshman linebacker, is third with 50 tackles, while redshirt freshman defensive end James Cowser is fourth with 47 tackles as well as the team's co-leader in sacks with 4.5 while his 10.5 tackles for loss rank second on the squad. True freshman linebacker Mike Needham, who became a starter against Sacramento State, is fifth on the team with 43 tackles and he co-leads the team with three passes broken up. Cornerback LeShaun Sims, another redshirt freshman, has missed two games but he co-leads the squad with two interceptions and is still 10th on the team with 26 tackles.
The two first-year starters who aren't freshmen are senior linebacker Namari Flentroy and junior cornerback Tyree Mills, who are second and eighth on the team with 53 and 22 tackles, respectively.
At Montana Browning and Needham had 18 and 12 tackles, respectively, while senior Cody Larsen also had 12, including 1.5 TFLs. Cowser had nine tackles, including a sack, while Collet had seven and Sims had five after returning to the field subsequent to missing the previous two games.
Needham and Browning were again 1-2 on the Thunderbirds' tackles chart vs. Weber State, but in this one it was Needham at the top, with 13 tackles (including 10 solo stops), while Browning had 10. Killebrew was among four players with four tackles vs. the Wildcats, including Mills, Flentroy and junior DT Brad Meyer. Collet was third on the team with five tackles.
Quiet Excellence: Senior defensive tackle Cody Larsen is quietly having a very strong year. The senior defensive tackle ranks among the nation's leaders in both sacks and tackles for loss despite playing in the middle of the line. He leads the team in tackles for loss with 11.0, leads the team with 5 QB hurries and is the co-leader in sacks with 4.5 . He has also forced three fumbles and recovered two more. During his career Larsen has notched 17 sacks, which ranks sixth on the all-time SUU list.
Good Vibrations: Senior tailback Brian Wilson didn't play against Weber State after suffering an injury at Montana. However, although he has been the Thunderbirds' leading rusher all season he didn't notch a rushing touchdown until he finally got into the end zone against Sacramento State on a one-yard run midway through the third quarter to cap a 10-play, 83-yard drive. It was his fourth TD of the season but the others came on receptions. At Cal he carried 17 times for 74 yards and scored a touchdown on a pass reception. Although he didn't get into the end zone vs. Highlands, he had his best overall day as an offensive player, logging 140 rushing yards on 19 carries, adding another 48 yards on four receptions, and finishing with 215 all-purpose yards after returning one kickoff 27 yards. It was the team's first 100-yard rushing performance since Austin Minefee ripped off 131 yards vs. UC Davis in the ninth game of the season last year and the highest all-purpose total since Minefee also had 140, against Northern Arizona in the fifth game of the 2010 season. Wilson led the team with 64 yards on 19 carries at Portland State and also caught three passes for 18 yards, including a 16 yard TD reception. He was the rushing leader again vs. Montana State, with 15 carries for 76 yards, and he caught three passes for 14 yards, including a six-yard touchdown catch. He saw his string of leading the team in every game come to an end at Montana, however, when he carried just seven times for 12 yards and Myles Crawford-Harris wound up with a career-high 64 yards on eight carries.
Record Book Performances At PSU: Southern Utah had a handful of performances worthy of the SUU record books at Portland State. Josh Smith's 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown is tied as the sixth-longest in the school's history, while his 173 KO return yards in the game rank fifth. Brad Sorensen's four-touchdown, 311-yard day also changed the books. Sorensen became just the second Thunderbird to pass for over 7,000 yards in a career (along with Rick Robins) agains the Vikings and he tied the second-highest total for TD passes in a game with four, one shy of his own SUU record.
Benchmark Stat: SUU has won eight consecutive games in which it rushed for 100 yards.
Passing Game: After struggling to pass the ball at Utah State SUU has improved in that area in the subsequent games. The team finished with a then-season-high 311 yards through the air at Portland State, with four touchdown passes, but the turnaround began at Cal, particularly in the second half. Senior QB Brad Sorensen completed 31-of-45 passes at Cal, tying the eighth-highest completion total in SUU history, for 292 yards and four touchdowns. The TD passes went to Fatu Moala - who had a career-high nine receptions for 85 yards - Henna Brown, Cameron Morgan and Wilson. Against New Mexico Highlands Sorensen was hot and cold in the first half, completing 17-of-27 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns - both to Moala - but also throwing two interceptions - which were both returned for scores. The Thunderbirds opted to run the ball much of the second half, throwing just eight times with three completions for 49 yards, including one touchdown pass, again to Moala. Once again Moala led the team, with eight receptions for 74 yards and all three TDs. Mitch Jessop had three receptions for 50 yards against NMH. At PSU Sorensen completed 27-of-36 attempts at Portland State, with nine of them going to sophomore WR Mitch Jessop, who finished with two TDs (the first of his career) and a career-high 153 receiving yards. TD passes also went to Easton Pedersen and Wilson at PSU. Sorensen completed 25-of-47 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns - to Wilson and Jessop - against Montana State, but he did throw two interceptions, including one on a Hail Mary to Jessop in the corner of the end zone as time expired in the game. SUU passed for a season-high 327 yards against Sacramento State, including the team's longest pass play of the season, an 82-yarder from Sorensen to Jessop. Griff McNabb had his first TD reception in the Sac State game as well. At Montana Sorensen took his lumps, with a career-high seven sacks, but he also completed 30 passes for 294 yards and a pair of touchdowns, to Fatu Moala and to Henna Brown, and he also notched his first rushing touchdown of the season. Sorensen threw for another 320 yards against Weber State, when he completed 33-of-47 attempts, including TD passes to Griff McNabb (his second of the season) and Fatu Moala (his team-leading sixth).
Pick Me Firsts: SUU has nine interceptions so far this season and seven of them were the interceptor's first career pick while the other two went to players who got their first earlier in the season. Junior SS Tommy Collet, Jr. notched the first interception of his SUU career at Utah State, redshirt freshman DE James Cowser picked off the first pass of his career at Cal, redshirt freshman CB LeShaun Sims had his first against NM Highlands, junior linebacker Randall Nygren had his first at Portland State, junior cornerback Tyree Mills notched his first vs. Montana State, freshman cornerback J.T. Anderson got his first against Sacramento State and freshman safety Michael Byrd got his first at Montana. The other two interceptions this season went to Sims, who got the second of his career at PSU while Collet got his second against Sacramento State. SUU's nine interceptions are tied for the 16th-most in the FCS this season.
If It's Close, It's A Score: Southern Utah has been very effective in the Red Zone this season, scoring 25 of the 26 times the team has advanced the ball to the opponent's 20 yard line, or 96 percent of the time. The Thunderbirds have scored 17 touchdowns once reaching the Red Zone and have converted eight scores via field goal. The only blemish in the Red Zone came in the season-opener at Utah State when the Thunderbirds drove to the Aggie nine yard line but threw an interception on the final play of the game. Since that play SUU has converted 25 consecutive drives into the Red Zone into points.
Turnovers and Penalties: SUU had won the turnover and the penalty battle in each game until Montana was flagged just four times for 48 yards while the Thunderbirds were penalized nine times for 66 yards, but they did win the turnover battle 2-1. Including the Weber State game - when SUU again came out on top of both the turnover and penalty phases of the game - the Thunderbirds have turned the ball over 10 times so far (eight interceptions, two fumbles), while opponents have given it back 22 times, with SUU the beneficiary of 13 fumbles and nine interceptions. As far as penalties go, SUU has been whistled 51 times for 443 yards while opponents have drawn 77 flags for 688 yards.
Left-footed kickers: For the second year in a row, Southern Utah's kickers are both left-footed. Both specialists have been solid. Brock Miller got off to a good start, punting nine times for 411 yards at Utah State - including a career-long 72-yarder on his first boot of the game - and pinning the Aggies inside the 20-yard line four times, and he has been solid ever since, kicking 49 times for 2,126 yards to rank 10th in the country with his 43.39 yards per punt average. He has pinned the opponent inside the 20 yard line 20 times, with four touchbacks and 11 boots of 50 yards or more. His 51.6 yards per punt average against Weber State is the third-best single-game average in SUU history.
Placekicker Colton Cook hit a career-long 49 yard field goal against Montana State but missed two more long efforts, from 47 and yards, but he got back on track against Sacramento State when he drilled all three of his field goal attempts and he was 1-for-1 at Montana and 3-for-3 again vs. Weber State. He is now 13-15 on field goals and 22-24 on extra points this season. Cook's 13 field goals rank third on the SUU single-season list, behind Ryan Griffith's 15 in 2009 and Cook's own 14 last year. His 27 career field goals rank fourth on SUU's all-time list, while his 48 career PATs rank sixth.
Kick Start: Cook's three made field goals against Sacramento State and again vs. Weber State tied the total for second-most field goals in a game at SUU. The record for field goals in a game at Southern Utah is five (by Ryan Griffith vs. Dixie State in 2009), but kickers have now booted three in a game seven times for the T-Birds.
Play Of The Day: Cameron Morgan's 37-yard touchdown catch at the end of the first half at Cal was judged as the play of the day by ESPN. Morgan jumped high in the air to make a one-handed grab on a ball that had been tipped by a Cal defender, then pulled it in and got his feet in bounds before falling out of the back of the end zone. The circus catch came on an untimed down following a pass interference call with no time remaining in the second period.
Big Crowd: The paid attendance for SUU's game at Cal was 57,745, the largest crowd ever to watch a Thunderbird football game. It bettered the 42,137 that watched SUU play San Diego State in 2009.
SUU's paid attendance vs. Montana State, 8,417, was the largest ever for a day game at Eccles Coliseum.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by crankshaft, Sep 6, 2011.
+1 - works great and quickish too. I didn't think it was particularly noisy though.
Oh yeah, I have a manual pump also.
A friend of mine have the same slime pump. It works great.
But I was thinking about avoiding the bulkiness of it, as I like to ride with just a waist tool-bag and a water bag. I'm not a fan of strapping luggage to the bike unless I really have to.
I guess I'll stay with the hand pump.
You're probably right about that
I stripped all the plastic of my slime pump just have the pump, motor, and hose. The whole package is the size of my fist.
It goes everywhere I ride.
That thing gets hot. How long does it take to cool so you can pack it without the plastic on it ?
ECU and battery mounted, wiring harness is moving forward. Should be running in a few more weeks!
Looking good.
its cool by the time you put the tire back on your bike and collect all your tools.
The hard part is coming ... It's what in the ECU that really matters ...
Paul Jr 8
How many have you programmed?
It pays the bills.
Yep, accountants have taken over Apple. Now a SmugMug customer hoping to help keep ADV commercial free
Me too - on my older R bikes - part of factory kit - stores inside the frame
I still feel betrayed...
Request-consider posting smaller pictures. It's a pain to scroll around to see what you are talking about. The perspective is so large it is sometimes not evident. Especially on a mobile device. Thanks.
All better now?
I'll probably get my fingers slapped for reposting this...but here it goes.
Fairing on the KTM 690R Enduro - is it worth it? Pro's & Cons
Would you do it again? Is it worth the money? What do you gain? Does it provide any more real wind protection than a windshield? What do you lose?
I'm looking at the cheaper on on KTMtwins..
Thanks for the input - PM's are welcome
Here is my present setup with my own version of a deflector that some other companys make...(ind. velcro holds it on)
How would an Adventure type fairing compare? Besides look better
Looks interesting for street/highway riding I guess. I'd break it off in an afternoon in the woods though.
Yeah the deflector is held on with industrial velcro...so it can be removed in about 10 secs
I'm wondering how an "Adventure" type fairing would compare for wind protection etc..
But worry not, I have a solid background (well ... years ago) at programing computers (C++, Fortran, ADA, Forth, Assembler, Basic), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC, Omron, Modicon, Telemecanic, Allen Bradley, Siemens) . What is happening into an ECU is far lower level then that, and certainly not Chinese to me. I understand pretty well that this particular ECU, you are not really programming it. You download a firmware to the Bosch controller (this is the program in fact). Then you punch parameters and tables. There lies the pudding and the pain from what i've seen so far.
Each and every time someone starts a project with an ECU at the very moment the crowd starts to salivate, the project falls for whatever reason starting from "no more time", "no more resources", all the way to "Jesus !!! This is too complicated !!!" It does not seem to be anything linear in those tables. Combustion chambers is evidently a field of expertise very creative at generating unexplanable exceptions.
I'm very curious at your project. And eager to here more.
Paul Jr 8
Clever idea with the velcro! I have the smaller screen that is on your bike and that is good enough for me.

BREVARD, N.C.-Senior Dominique Pickett poured in a game-high 29 points in his final game at Brevard College while junior Darius Moose scored his 1,000th career point in a 90-73 loss to the Wingate Bulldogs in Saturday's season finale in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Moose became the sixth player in school history to score 1,000 career points, working his way into the elite club on a three-point play at the 12:00 mark in the second half. The redshirt junior finished with 12 points and three rebounds.
Pickett was an efficient 10-for-13 from the field, including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc, to go along with a pair of assists. Trevon Shaw finished off an impressive freshman campaign with 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting with two assists and two rebounds.
After falling behind by 26 late in the second half, the Tornados engineered a 20-7 run to trim their deficit to 13 on a three-pointer from Moose with 6:32 to go in the game. Pickett had ten points during the stretch, including seven straight for BC, but the Bulldogs ultimately pushed their lead back out to 19 with a 9-3 run.
The Tornados shot a scorching 68 percent (17-for-24) in the second half, but the Bulldogs 24-point halftime lead proved to be too much for BC to overcome.
Four Bulldogs finished in double figures, paced by 22 points from Ryan Daye.

London, England - The case against prominent Gambian anti-female genital mutilation (FGM) activist and long-term Equality Now partner, Dr. Isatou Touray, the Executive Director of The Gambia Committee Against Traditional Practices (GAMCOTRAP), and her colleague Amie Bojang-Sissoho, has been dropped. Charges had been levelled against them by the government of The Gambia for alleged theft and fraud of €30,000 from Spanish-based organisation, Yolocamba Solidaridad. The women were originally denied bail, even though alleged theft is a bailable offence in The Gambia. Following an international campaign by human rights organisations, including Equality Now, they were released on bail. Subsequently, after a torturous and lengthy trial which lasted for two years and seven months, they have finally been vindicated.
GAMCOTRAP is a national and international leader in the campaign against FGM in The Gambia, where FGM continues to be widely practiced and according to UNICEF, the national prevalence rate is 78.3 percent among women aged between 15-49 years. Opposition to national campaigns against this harmful tradition from conservative religious leaders and others who wield great influence over the government of The Gambia remains strong.
In 1997, the Gambian government censored an anti-FGM media campaign and only rescinded, following international pressure. Dr. Touray and Amie's steadfast resolve is an inspirational reminder that resistance to FGM cannot be subdued or concealed. Their vindication brings the wider issue centre-stage once again.
The government of The Gambia has an obligation under both regional and international human rights law to ensure that FGM is eliminated as a matter of urgency. In 2005, the country ratified the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (the "Women's Rights Protocol") that, in Article 5(b), requires States Parties to prohibit FGM through legislative measures backed by sanctions. In 2000, The Gambia ratified the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (the "Children's Charter") which, in Section 21, requires States Parties to eliminate harmful social and cultural practices and in particular those "prejudicial to the health or life of the child". In addition, the Gambian Constitution guarantees that no individual shall be subject to torture or inhuman or degrading punishment or other treatment. The Gambia is also a party to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which both call for member states to take measures to protect girls, including from harmful cultural practices.
"In the wake of the vindication of these two campaigners, Equality Now urges the Gambian government to honour its international and regional human rights commitments by enacting and enforcing legislation against FGM, as well as supporting educational outreach to relevant communities on the dangers of FGM in accordance with Article 5 of the African Union Women's Rights Protocol and Article 21 of the African Children's Charter".--Efua Dorkenoo, Advocacy Director of FGM Programme for Equality Now's London Office.

It's unlikely that E3 2012 will go down as one of the more newsworthy installments of this annual trade show. But, while we may lack blockbuster news (or many must-play games), there are several trends on display that paint a clear picture about what kinds of games and interactive entertainment experiences are coming over the next several years.
Hardware doesn't drive the business anymore
Gamers should get used to the idea of a longer wait between new consoles. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are well past the half-decade mark, with not a hint of future versions at E3 this year. Nintendo's Wii Uis more evolution than revolution, making use of the original Wii's controllers and accessories, and much of the same industrial and UI design.
And guess what? Both gamers and the professional industry watchers attending E3 are just fine with that. New games still look great, even if they don't look noticeably better than last year or the year before. And adding new accessories, such as Kinect, or new features, such as SmartGlassor streaming live TV, offer more bang for the buck than faster processors or GPUs.
The business is still blockbuster-driven
You couldn't throw a promotional T-shirt at the Los Angeles Convention Center without hitting a big-game sequel, spin-off, or movie tie-in. Halo 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, a new Tomb Raider, God of War: Ascension, Super Mario Wii U, Forza: Horizon, and others took center stage at the big press conferences and the biggest show floor booths. It's a topic we've bemoaned in the past, but these sure-to-sell games also make sure there's enough money in publishers' coffers to fund the occasional ambitious, original project.
That said, Halo 4 really does look and feel like other recent Halo games, and the new God of War game also seems awfully derivative of itself. Come on, guys, let's freshen these classic franchises up with some new ideas.
Streaming-game delivery isn't ready to take over yet, but it's coming
One of the big rumors before E3 2012 was that Sony was going to acquire OnLive, the streaming-game service. Or, in some versions, it was Microsoft. Or Gaikai, another streaming game service. In any event, no such announcement was made, but that doesn't mean something along those lines is not the inevitable next step in the evolution of gaming. We've written extensively about these services, which both essentially "play" high-end PC games for you on remote render farms, and beam a live video feed to your TV, PC, or tablet.
But there was big news from both companies at E3. Gaikai inked a deal with Samsung to power the TV giant's new streaming-game service, which will be available as a software update for 2012 Samsung Smart TVs. OnLive continues to grow, doing a similar deal with LG for app-driven TVs. It's only a matter of time before Sony or Microsoft starts streaming game content on the fly, rather than making consumers download content and store it locally. There are plenty of network issues to deal with, of course, but it's a trend you can count on.
There is still room for original ideas
Fortunately, besides the inevitable onslaught of sequels, there were a surprising number of original games as well, certainly more than I expected. Highlights included Beyond: Two Souls, from cult favorite game designer David Cage (more on that here); The Last of Us, a dystopian action/adventure that looked to me a bit like Michael Bay's "The Road"; Zombi U, a violent Nintendo Wii U horror game; and Watch Dogs, a surprise favorite about futuristic hackers.
Mobile and social gaming deserve a seat at the table
Yet, they're still not fully embraced by the larger games industry. Zynga, PopCap, and the like make cameo appearances, or hide out in small meeting rooms, even though good social games have 50 million or more average monthly players. Asking the question hereand on Twitter, "Do Facebook games belong at E3?" provoked a highly polarized response, with passionate opinions on each side.

Hello Noemi,
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can be very helpful in balancing hormones and increasing fertility so that pregnancy chances are greater and miscarriage odds are lower.
Even women with low ovarian reserve have had excellent results with acupuncture and high quality herbs.
Here's a video about how Dr. Daoshing Ni was able to induce ovulation in a woman who had only part of one ovary. We are normally born with two ovaries, but she had only a small piece of ovarian tissue.
I would definitely encourage you to find a highly skilled acupuncturist who specializes in female fertility and who can make a custom blend of herbs for your specific fertility challenge.
Please post back with any questions.
Warm Regards,

I agree! I have seen many couples garner fantastic results following an acupuncture or acupressure session. I agree with Kate, however, make sure you find a highly skilled acupuncturist who is experienced in fertility treatments.
Best of Luck!

This is the cordless prelit Douglas Fir that sets up in a corner, displaying a lush Christmas tree in spaces where a full-sized tree is impractical.

"Not Quite What I Expected"
By LVNB
from Newport News, VA
Best Uses
I have not put up a large Christmas tree for many years. I thought this was the perfect tree but I was disappointed. The tree was not as lush as the one pictured and I really did not like the 6 hour on 18 hour off timer on the lights. As a Senior Citizen, I found lying on the floor to find the battery box to turn the tree on during the 18 hour off period difficult and bothersome. I also worry about the durability over the years of the resin planter base. It had cracks and over time will eventually break, making it practically impossible to set up the tree.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

LOVE my tree!!
By Smiley
from Toronto, Canada
This is the easiest tree I've owned. It doesn't take much space and I love the timer on it because the tree light turn on just before we get home. My husband even loves this tree more than our last one that he thought was "perfect"
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By Charmaine
from Edmonton, AB
We added this corner tree to our front entry way of our house and it is stunning! It has added the extra "warm and fuzzy welcome" to our home. It would be great in those tight living spaces like condos and apartments where often times only one side of the tree is decorated coz one thinks " who sees the back anyways? "

Not as I had hoped
By Pastorcms
from Boulder, CO
I was not pleased with the assembled product. Could not get the branches to a shape which was pleasing to the eye.
I love this tree
By SueB

I wrapped some fake greens around the base of the tree and that took care of the only issue I had with this tree aside from setting up the two battery boxes which was a pain. Now that it's up and decorated, I am really happy with this tree and I love the timer. It's the perfect tree for my condo.

In Dungeons & Dragons, thessalmonsters are a group of related creatures created by Thessalar, a powerful lich of the World of Greyhawk campaign setting dwelling in the Wormcrawl Fissure.
Thessalmonsters are a family of hybrid monsters designed to resemble the hydra. The first thessalmonster was so genetically unstable that it could breed with other monsters to create new variants. When the original was killed, no new breeds of thessalmonsters could be made.
The thessalhydra is probably the first and most well-known of the thessalmonsters. It resembles a hydra for the most part, with a few differences. Instead of its eight heads emerging straight from the reptilian body, they form a ring around a large, circular mouth rimmed with jagged teeth. The tail ends in a set of pincers that can grab an opponent and force it into the large mouth. The main mouth can spit out a gob of acidic saliva once every day.
The thessalmera is a hybrid of the thessalhydra and chimera. It resembles the thessalhydra almost exactly, except that instead of the giant maw in the center of the snake heads, it has a leonine head. On the upper back above the snake heads is the head of a red dragon, which can of course breathe fire.
The thessalgorgon is a hybrid of the thessalhydra and gorgon. It looks mostly like the thessalhydra, though instead of the large mouth in the center of the creature, it has a head like that of a bull which can breathe out a cone of petrifying gas. Its entire body is covered in thick, metallic scales that are a coppery green in color.
The thessaltrice is an unlikely combination of thessalhydra and cockatrice. It looks just like a thessalhydra, except that the long necks are topped with heads like that of a cockatrice instead of snake heads. Each head is able to petrify a victim with a bite.

But the Bulldogs made a big impression on him, and after he took an official visit to New Mexico State, his mind was still with Fresno State.
So on Sunday, Blue committed to the Bulldogs.
"I felt it was the best choice for me, it was close to home, and the coaches did a really good job recruiting me," said Blue.
Defensive backs coaches Tim McDonald and Jordan Peterson were the coaches recruiting Blue, and ultimately won him over.
"Fresno State has sent a lot of DBs to the NFL, and Coach Mac (McDonald) and Coach Pete (Peterson) are really good coaches," said Blue. "I know Coach McDonald did a good job coaching his sons (T.J. and Tevin, starting safeties at USC and UCLA respectively)."
Blue will play cornerback for Fresno State, which is where he wanted to play.
"I'm just so blessed and happy with my decision," said Blue. "My family is excited that I'll be close to home and they can come see my games. That was important to me."
Blue will visit Fresno State on January 18th, and the Bulldog coaches will be back in for an in-home next month.

PHILADELPHIA - Now in his 27th season at the University of Pennsylvania, Tony Tenisci was named the Betty J. Costanza Head Coach of Women's Track and Field on Friday as announced by Director of Track & Field/Cross Country Steve Dolan. Tenisci is the just the third head coach in program history.
"This is a very exciting day for our program," Dolan said. "I have known Tony for a number of years and I've always been very impressed with his energy, interaction with the students, and event knowledge. He is an outstanding coach and an outstanding person. I knew this was the perfect move for our program. I'm more than excited to be working with Tony and I know he'll do a great job with the women's program."
"I am honored to be named for this particular postion," Tenisci said. "It is named after Betty Costanza, with whom I worked with for 16 years. She was an extraordinary woman and Hall of Fame coach, so for me to carry on her name and traditions is a great honor.
"I love Penn," Tensici added. "The young people here are not only talented athletes and intelligent students, but wonderful people to be around. Penn is its students and we always have wonderful young people here. I'm honored to work with them."
Tenisci is known as the creator of women's hammer throwing in America. Through his efforts, this event was created and developed into one of the finest throwing events for women in track and field.
Tenisci has coached numerous standout athletes in the throwing events as well as in the horizontal jumps. Many of these student-athletes have gone on to compete at the Senior American National Championships and the Olympic Trials.
Widely regarded as an outstanding technical coach in the throws and jumps, Tenisci has held extensive clinics throughout the country. He is also known as a specialist in the areas of weight training and conditioning, having designed various strength and training programs for other teams at Penn, as well as for professional athletic organizations. He has published numerous articles in both scientific and recreational publications in the United States and overseas.
In the past decade, Tenisci has coached four individuals in six different events to seven Heptagonal championships — Julie Siebert-Johnson in the javelin in 2000 and 2003 (she also won the 2003 ECAC title in that event), Catrina Chisholm (hammer) and Charity Payne (shot put) in 2004, and then Payne once again in 2005 when she captured the indoor shot put crown. Shani Boston won the league championship in the pentathlon and heptathlon in 2007.
Tenisci began his coaching career at his alma mater, Washington State University, in 1978, where he served as a coach for the women's track and field program and assisted with the men's weight events.
A 1974 graduate of Washington State, Tenisci was a four-time NCAA All-American in the hammer throw for the Cougars. He is a former Canadian national record holder in the hammer throw (221-3) and has participated in the British Commonwealth and Pan American Games. He also trained and studied in Germany, Russia and Australia.
Tenisci earned his master's degree in physical education from Washington State after doing postgraduate work in physiology and biomechanics of exercise in athletics at the University of Moscow in Russia. He has also studied at the University of Gutenburg in Germany and the University of Hawaii.

ASTM International, a standards development organization, will now help develop product category reviews (PCRs) and verify environmental product declarations (EPDs), according to the organization. Under the Environmental Product Declaration Program, technical advisory committees will oversee the development process for PCRs, which detail the rules and guidelines for developing EPDs. In addition, the program will evaluate EPDs to verify their adherence to ISO 14040 standards, as well as to ensure that the life cycle assessment data accurately describes a product's environmental aspects. The program will address products in the 90 industry sectors in which ASTM currently operates.
ASTM developed the program in accordance with ISO 14025, Environmental Labels and Declarations—Type III Environmental Declarations—Principles and Procedures. "The ASTM International program will provide scientifically based, quantifiable information about product parameters such as resource consumption and ozone depletion," says Timothy Brooke, vice president of certification, training, and proficiency testing at ASTM. Currently representatives of the roofing industry are working with ASTM to develop PCRs.
Separately, ASTM Committee E60 on Sustainability has a proposed a standard practice to give guidance on what information a PCR should contain, regardless of the product. Work Item 23356: "New practice for the development of product category rules for use in the development of environmental declarations for building products and systems," is currently in the working stage and is not yet a standard. Brooke reports that a publication date has not yet been set for that work item.
More information on the EPD program is online as astm.org/epds.


text: Denver Upends T-Birds December 21, 2012 By SUU Strategic Communication Related Links Box Score Jayson Cheesman scored 10 points and led SUU with six rebounds Courtesy: SUU Strategic Communications DENVER, Colo., Dec. 21 - Jackson Stevenett scored 12 points and Jayson Cheesman added 10 and six rebounds but Denver shot 55.3 percent, including .438 from 3-point range as the Pioneers upended Southern Utah 72-47 in a non-conference match-up Friday afternoon. Royce O'Neale led four Pioneers in double figures with 12 points. Denver outscored the Thunderbirds 21-7 over the final 10 minutes of the first half, taking advantage of five of SUU's 12 turnovers in the period, to stretch a 19-13 edge with 10:08 to play to 40-20 at the break. DU went on a 10-1 run - with SUU scoring only on a Cal Hanks free throw - to extend a 19-13 advantage to a 29-14 lead. After SUU got a layup from Jordan Johnson to break the drought the Pioneers got seven points from Nate Engesser to close the half with an 11-4 spurt and take the 20-point lead into the break. The Thunderbirds got just a Stevenett lay-up and two Cheesman free throws in the final 5:11 of the half. SUU got back within 47-32 on back-to-back Wade Collie 3-pointers early in the second half but the Pioneers answered with five straight points of their own and SUU didn't get within 18 the rest of the way. "Denver is a good basketball team, they came out and played hard on their home court," SUU Coach Nick Robinson noted. "Offensively they shot the ball well, they executed their offense with precision, and defensively they did a nice job of talking, of doing all the little things that allowed their team to get a lead, sustain the lead and extend the lead. "I felt like we got decent looks throughout the night. Wade had a nice couple of open shots he made at the beginning of the first half and at the beginning of the second half he made some open jumpers, we had some other open looks in the post, some guys had opportunities and made some plays there, but it was one of those nights where they came out firing on all cylinders and every one of their players was locked in. They shot the ball well and they played hard," Robinson went on to say. Southern Utah out-rebounded the Pioneers 31-22, giving the T-Birds six straight games in which they have pulled down more boards than their opponents, but they finished with 22 turnovers and shot just .408 from the field, .381 in the first half. "In the first half we had [too many] turnovers and that helped in their process of making plays," Robinson pointed out. "When we're giving the basketball to the other team versus [playing] half-court defense it's going to be a challenge digging yourself out of that hole. They were able to capitalize with 35 points off of turnovers." Southern Utah, which dipped to 3-7 with the loss, now takes eight days off before returning to the court and Big Sky competition on Dec. 29 at home against Northern Colorado. Denver improved to 4-6 with the win. -- SUU --

Lotus's Beitske Visser was forced to sit out the Sachsenring after her race win at Zandvoort. An accident in qualifying had resulted in her breaking a vertibra, yet this was not discovered by the hospital in Amsterdam and it was only when she went to see a specialist that the damage was clear – but it didn't stop her winning that race! Nevertheless, doctors advised her not to race last weekend and so her position in the team was taken by Germany's Hubertus Carlos Vier.
He qualified P8, while team-mate Marvin Kirchhofer took pole, Indy Dontje P4, Jeffrey Schmidt P6 and Kuba Dalewski P11. Kirchhofer led all but the final two laps when, with his tyres on their last legs, he was passed by Gustav Malja and settled for second. Dontje drove well to take the other podium spot. Schmidt was P5, Dalewski P9, Vier P10. In Race 2 it was Schmidt's turn on the podium, finishing third. Kirchhofer was fourth, Dontje fifth, Vier seventh, and Dalewski P16. The third race was red flagged after a big crash two laps in and wasn't restarted.
Lotus's Marvin Kirchhofer leads the championship with 119 points to Gustav Malja's 105, while Lotus dominate the team standings 70 points clear of Münke.
Timo Rumpfkeil, team principal: "A rather difficult weekend for us. Marvin's pole was good, but the qualifying speed for our other drivers didn't seem to be there. It was the same story in the race, where some struggled for speed and others were really quick, so we're going to have to look into this. Nevertheless, we have maintained our lead in the championships. Indy scored his first podium, so congratulation to him, I'm sure it will be the first of many. Hubertus only had two test days to prepare having not been in a Masters car since last October, P4 in practice was a great sign. He was unlucky in the races, having a few clashes and losing places, but the speed is evident and I think he'll be achieving podiums for Lotus soon, too."

Gastric cancerCancer - stomach; Stomach cancer; Gastric carcinoma; Adenocarcinoma of the stomach
Gastric cancer is cancer that starts in the stomach.
Several types of cancer can occur in the stomach. The most common type is called adenocarcinoma. It starts from one of the common cell types found in the lining of the stomach.
Thisarticle focuses on adenocarcinoma of the stomach.
Adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a common cancer of the digestive tract worldwide. It is uncommon in the United States. It occurs most often in men over age 40. This form of gastric cancer is common in eastern Asia, parts of South America, and eastern and central Europe.
Thenumber of peoplein the United States who get this cancerhas gone down over the years. Experts think the decrease may be because people are eating less salted, cured, and smoked foods.
You are more likely to getgastric cancer if you:
- Have a family history of gastric cancer
- Have an infection of the stomach by bacteria called Helicobacter pylori
- Hada polyp larger than 2 centimeters in your stomach
- Have inflammation and swelling of the stomach for a long time (chronic atrophic gastritis)
- Have pernicious anemia
- Smoke
- Abdominal fullness or pain, which may occur after a small meal
- Dark stools
- Difficulty swallowing, which becomes worse over time
- Excessive belching
- General decline in health
- Loss of appetite
- Nause
- Vomiting blood
- Weakness or fatigue
- Weight loss
Exams and Tests
Diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms may not occur in the early stages of the disease. Or, patients may self-treat symptoms that gastric cancer has in common with other, less serious gastrointestinal disorders (bloating, gas, heartburn, and fullness).
Tests that can help diagnose gastric cancer include:
- Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia.
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsy to examine the stomach tissue. EGD involves putting a tiny camera down the esophagus (food tube) to look at the inside of the stomach.
- Stool test to check for blood in the stools.
Surgery to remove the stomach (gastrectomy) is the only treatment that can cure the gastric adenocarcinoma. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may help. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy after surgery may improve the chance of a cure.
For patients who cannot have surgery, chemotherapy or radiation can improve symptoms and may prolong survival, but will likely not cure the cancer. For some patients, a surgical bypass procedure may relieve symptoms.
Support Groups
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group. Sharingwith others whohave common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Outlook varies based on how much the cancer has spread by the time of diagnosis. Tumors in the lower stomach are cured more often than those in the higher stomach. Chance of a cure also depends on howfar the tumor has invaded the stomach wall and whether lymph nodes are involved.
When the tumor has spread outside the stomach, a cure is not possible. In this case, the goal of treatment is to improve symptoms.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if symptoms of gastric cancer develop.
Screening programs are successfulin detecting disease in the early stages in parts of the world where the risk of gastric cancer is much higher than in the United States. The value of screening in the United States and other countries with lower rates of gastric cancer is not clear.
The following may help reduce your risk of gastric cancer:
- Do not smoke.
- Eat a healthy foods rich in fruits and vegetables.
- Takemedicines to treat reflux disease (heartburn), if you have it.
- Take antibiotics if you are diagnosed with H. pylori infection.

Brandon Z's 2005 Nissan Altima
Dominic J. DeVito has been a member of the Crutchfield A/V writing squad since 2006. He was born and raised in Staunton, Virginia, and attended the University of Notre Dame, where he earned a degree in chemical engineering. During that time he developed a passionate obsession for experiencing music, both live and recorded, which he parlayed into a 15-year stint in record retail (much to the chagrin of his very patient parents) and a long-running tenure as a rock DJ at WTJU. His expositions can be found in back issues of Plan 9's 9X Magazine as well as Schools That Rock: The Rolling Stone College Guide. He's been to more concerts than he can remember.
More from Dominic DeVito
Brandon's 2005 Nissan Altima looks pretty wicked with the purple lighting kit along the undercarriage and sleek new headlights
He wanted it to look pretty cool, too, so he rounded up some underbody lighting and new headlights to round out his installation. Some localities have restrictions on these types of automotive modifications, so be sure to check with your local authorities before doing the same.
Items installed:
- Pioneer AVH-P3300BT DVD receiver
- Kicker 10ZX750.1 mono subwoofer amplifier
- Pioneer GEX-P920XM XM satellite radio adapter
- Memphis Audio 6.5" SR front and back door speakers
- 2 Massive Audio 12" dual voice coil 4-ohm subwoofers in a sealed box
- Underbody lighting and headlight kits
Here's the Pioneer AVH-P3300BT DVD receiver in the Altima's dash
Getting some bang for the buck
The Pioneer head unit really fills out Brandon's dash nicely, giving him iPod® control and hands-free calling with his compatible phone. And he can take advantage of the XM satellite radio programming the Pioneer add-on tuner provides with his subcription. He can even view song titles and artist information on the receiver's 5.8" touchscreen display.
Brandon tells us, "the installation was easy except for the rear door speakers. I had to run my own speaker lines from the back of the head unit to said speakers and wire them into the harness, due to the lack of a factory Bose® system."
Brandon did a great job installing the Memphis Audio speakers in the Altima's rear doors, even with the added work of running speaker wires.
Brandon's ride now sports some big-time bass to go along with the eye-catching lighting modifications, thanks to his Kicker subwoofer amp and a pair of Massive Audio 12" subs in a sealed enclosure. The amp throws down 375 watts RMS at 4 ohms.
What's next for Brandon and his 2005 Altima? He tells us he wants to get some new wheels for it.

Your shopping cart is empty!
France have always created a host of elite players, and they've won their fair share of big tournaments too. At the moment they're going through some growing pains, and they've had their worrying, embarrassing moments in the process. With classy players like Karim Benzema and Franck Ribery at France's disposal they're always a threat, but it's still Zinedine Zidane that's adored by the fans, and remains on the back of millions of their jerseys. Don't be surprised to see a world class talent arise soon, and lead them to further glory.

Wash. Times didn't disclose subcontractor ties of McInerney, purported spokesman for "the Air Force fighter community"
Research ››› ››› TOM ALLISON
Reporting on Robert Gates' decision to end production of F-22 fighter jets, The Washington Times quoted Tom McInerney's claim that Gates "has decimated the Air Force for the future" without noting that McInerney has reportedly served as a consultant to Northrop Grumman, a major subcontractor on the F-22.
In a May 11 Washington Times article, reporter Rowan Scarborough asserted that "the Air Force fighter community" believes Defense Secretary Robert Gates "is sacrificing air superiority" and that "[t]he Air Force had wanted more than 300 F-22s but would have settled for 240." Scarborough then quoted Fox News military analyst and retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney saying that Gates "has decimated the Air Force for the future" and that Gates is "the most dangerous secretary of defense we've ever had." However, Scarborough did not disclose that McInerney has reportedly served as a consultant for the Northrop Grumman Corp., which is a major subcontractor on the F-22. Scarborough named no other members of "the Air Force fighter community" who criticized Gates' decision to end production of the F-22, which Gates has said was "not a close call" based on "the military advice that I got," including from the Air Force.
As Media Matters for America has documented, McInerney's HumanEvents.com bio -- he has written several articles for the magazine -- states that he "consults for Northrop Grumman on the KC 45 program." On the March 10, 2008, edition of Fox News' Special Report, correspondent Jennifer Griffin reported that "McInerney consults for Northrop Grumman." Also, an August 1, 2008, C4ISR Journal op-ed by McInerney identified him as "a consultant to Northrop Grumman."
McInerney has also recently consulted for defense contractor Cobham plc, which in March 2006 announced that its subsidiary Sargent Fletcher Inc. had been awarded contracts from Lockheed Martin Corp. "worth more than US$8m for its 600 gallon external fuel tanks for the F-22 Raptor jet aircraft." According to Sargent Fletcher's website, the company is "currently under contract to Lockheed Martin for the Low-Rate Initial Production of a new 600-gallon external fuel tank for the F/A-22 fighter." In a June 4, 2008, press release, Cobham announced McInerney's nomination to the board of Cobham North America as one of "three senior 'Outside Directors,' " who, with the approval of the U.S. government, would "provide assurance on security matters and strategic guidance on defence and market trends." According to the press release, McInerney's nomination was a part of Cobham's purchase of another defense contractor, SPARTA Inc.
McInerney was featured in the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times exposé by David Barstow that detailed the connections between numerous media military analysts, the Pentagon, and the defense industry. In the article, Barstow reported that McInerney "sits on the boards of several military contractors, including Nortel Government Solutions, a supplier of communication networks." The article also reported that the Pentagon helped McInerney and another Fox military analyst "write an opinion article for The Wall Street Journal defending [former Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld" and that, in an apparently separate case, McInerney "wrote to the Pentagon after receiving fresh talking points in late 2006," stating, "Good work. ... We will use it."
From the May 11 Washington Times article:
To the Air Force fighter community, Mr. Gates is sacrificing air superiority -- the military operation of capturing the sky from the enemy -- should there be a future war against China or Russia. The Air Force had wanted more than 300 F-22s but would have settled for 240.
"He has decimated the Air Force for the future," said retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, who flew hundreds of combat missions in Vietnam. He calls Mr. Gates "the most dangerous secretary of defense we've ever had."
In addition to ending the F-22 production line, Mr. Gates canceled a next-generation long-range bomber and the Air Force's new combat search and rescue helicopter.
"He is focused on irregular warfare to a fault," said Gen. McInerney. "Not one of the six Joint Chiefs knows anything about air superiority or has had any combat experience in it. Yet the number one military requirement of military operations is air supremacy. You cannot conduct ops if you don't have it."

I am trying to exploring way to create smaller payload. I notice that msfvenom has option to specify architecture (or platform) but i am not sure what are the legitmate value. Also specifying the specific platform help to reduce size of the paylload?
If we are exploiting a software with limited buffer space, is there a way to do it via backtrack (apart from manually craft one)?

remember when you were a beginner and didn't have a clue what board you should ride?
Rode hand-me-downs until I was in high school so had a pretty good idea what would work for me by the time I actually purchased a board. Do agree with a few others on here; if you're asking the question here, it's bothering you enough to just be honest. If they like the board they are gonna buy it regardless.
I think more than half of people learn the hard way, but hey its only human!
I never really bothered with it. I bought two or three boards when I was a beginner that didn't work for me and I just sold them to other people (and got my money back). I don't think it's wrong to sell someone a board that may not work for them, just don't sell it to them for more money than they can turn around and get for it if it doesn't work out for them.
psh, the biggest offenders of this EVER are main stream surf shops. Especially if a fat guy wants to learn, "sell him that hawaiin gun, it'l float him"
A true measure of your character is how you act/who you are, when no one is watching.
