I have purchased AccountsRight Plus and want to upgrade previous bookeepers four accounts to my new serial number
how can I change their serial number to my new one.
June 2012

Hi Fayzs,
Welcome to the MYOB Community User Forum.
This MYOB Support Note Serial Number Removal provides beneficial information; at the bottom of that support note are links to further information that other users have found to be helpful.
Pardon me, as I'm not meaning to be a "sticky beak", just trying to be helpful; you said that you have just purchased MYOB AccountRight Plus and you have indicated that you have four company files ('previous bookeepers four accounts' sic). Are you aware that only one company file entitlement is available with new purchases of MYOB AccountRight Plus?
It would mean that in order to access four company files with your purchased copy of AccountRight Plus you will need to purchase additional company file entitlements.
If that is the case then it would cost you an additional $199.00 to that which you have already paid for MYOB AccountRight Plus!
Have you registered your copy of MYOB AccountRight Plus yet?
If not then please refrain from doing so for the time being.
You are welcome to contact me at the email address shown below my signature.

Thanks Tonly for your reply, I did not realise I could only have one company file with the new purchase, that is going to cause some difficulty.
I have already registered the product too.

Hi Fayzs
It is unfortunate that you had already registered the product as I understand it means that any purchase 'cooling off' period is ended with that action.
I'm so sorry to have been the bearer of this and the earlier news.
It's bad enough having to pay $199 for an additional 5 company file entitlement, but then you are going to pay either a total of $237.00 for the 4 hour Premium Service or $121.00 the 4 day Standard Service to remove the serial number from the four company files and replace it with your product serial number.
Had you not registered the product and you were able to return it for a full refund, then you could have purchased from me a copy of MYOB AccountRight Plus with 5 company file entitlement plus 12 months MYOB Support Cover for $940.00 incl. GST.
(MYOB RRP is $1,762.00 incl. GST for the same deal)

...is that you don't talk about thermodynamics.
Okay, seriously now. The first law of thermodynamics is that energy and matter (which are essentially the same) can neither be created or destroyed; they only change form.
For instance: I eat a hamburger. My stomach digests the hamburger and breaks it down into simpler chemicals. I metabolize some of these chemicals and derive chemical energy from them. I use some of that energy to turn the crank on my wind-up radio. The mechanisms inside the radio convert that motion into electricity, which, combined with a radio signal from outside, causes the speaker in the radio to vibrate in a certain pattern. When that pattern interacts with my eardrum, I perceive it as sound. Even this involves a transfer of energy; when my eardrum vibrates, it triggers electrochemical signals in my brain.
Though the hamburger has been through several changes, the energy/matter in it has never disappeared. If we were so inclined, we could also trace the energy backwards from the burger: the cow who provided its flesh for the hamburger got the energy for it from grass, which in turn photosynthesized its energy from sunlight. And so and so forth, right back to the Big Bang.
The first law of thermodynamics could also be called the first law of physics, or the first law of science. It is simply the common sense rule that in the observable world, nothing can be totally created or destroyed. Most scientists and laypeople would take this as one of the most basic facts about the objective world: that what exists will continue to exist. And that things can not come to existence out of nothing.
So why is this concept a law? Why does our intuitive sense of object permanence apply to the world? There are three ways that this could become a scientific law:
Therefore, the first law of thermodynamics, rather than being a law of science, is a law that stands about science, and shapes the ways that we can possibly view the physical world.

An arbitration award of $525 million was rendered against Western Digital (nyse: WDC - news - people ) in the confidential arbitration action. The award does not include prejudgment interest, which will be determined later.
Seagate brought claims against Western Digital and an employee who formerly worked at Seagate, alleging misappropriation of confidential information and trade secrets.
Western Digital's CEO said he believes his company acted properly at all times and will challenge the award.
The ruling does not affect the company's planned acquisition of Hitachi (nyse: HIT - news - people ) unit Hitachi GST, he noted.

The effect of vitamin D replacement therapy on insulin resistance and androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the common features of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and recent studies indicate the possible role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of IR and glucose metabolism. Aim of this study was aimed to determine the effect of vitamin D replacement therapy on glucose metabolism, insulin, and androgen levels in obese, insulin-resistant women with PCOS. Eleven women with PCOS were included in the study. Mean age of the patients was 23.6±5.7 yr, body mass index 33.9±5.1 kg/m2. Six patients (54.5%) had acantosis nigricans and 10 (90.9%) oligoamenorrhea. The mean Ferriman Gallwey score was 14.1±4.6. Only 2 women were within the normal limits of vitamin D levels as >20 ng/ml. Three weeks after the administration of the single dose of 300,000 units of vitamin D3 orally, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 significantly increased from 16.9±16 ng/ml to 37.1±14.6 ng/ml (p: 0.027) and only 2 women were detected to have vitamin D3 levels <20 ng/ml. Although glucose and insulin levels were decreased non-significantly, homeostasis model assesment (HOMA)-IR significantly decreased from 4.41±1.38 to 3.67±1.48 (p: 0.043). No significant alterations were witnessed at the levels of DHEAS, total and free testosterone, androstenedione. No correlation was found between vitamin D with HOMA and other hormonal parameters. In conclusion, women with PCOS have mostly insufficient vitamin D levels, and vitamin D replacement therapy may have a benefical effect on IR in obese women with PCOS. (J. Endocrinol.

Going Global To Find Growth
One of the incontrovertible facts of life in the new global economy is convergence. Economies everywhere are becoming market-based in form and middle class in lifestyle. Another incontrovertible fact is speed of change. Convergence is happening so fast that the market system, for the first time, embraces practically the entire world. New capitalist countries are racing to catch up, their growth rates surpassing those of the older market economies. As a result, the U.S., Europe, and Japan appear to have lost their leadership roles in sparking economic growth. Asian and Latin American markets are becoming increasingly vital to American, European, and Japanese companies.
Look at the numbers. Corporate leaders are salivating over estimates that fourth-quarter U.S. economic growth may clock in at a 4% rate. That's way above the first half's puny 1.3% rate and significantly higher than the average 2.5% growth rate for the U.S. during the 1980s.
So 4% is pretty good, huh? Not by East Asian standards. From 1981 to 1990, China's growth rate averaged 10.1%, dipped to a mere 7.5% in 1991, then jumped to nearly 13% in 1992 and double digits for 1993. It's the same all over Asia, with countries racking up growth rates of 6% to 10% annually. Even stodgy India outpaced U.S. growth in the 1980s with a 5.8% rate. It expects 5.4% in 1993 and 6% in 1994.
No wonder corporations such as General Electric Co. are going for the growth--no matter where it is. GE has been placing heavy long-term bets in China, India, Mexico, and Southeast Asia to move the focus of the company to high-growth Asian and Latin American countries, away from the low-growth U.S. and Europe.
Faced with slow-motion expansion in U.S. and European revenues and worldwide disinflation that prevents price hikes, companies have been turning to cost-cutting to raise profits. But downsizing and layoffs have their limits. Moving into fast-growing countries allows companies to generate profits by expanding, not shrinking. It's a lot more fun for GE--and for everyone in the global economy.

Here are the most interesting stories Friday in the AFC East:
Will third-string quarterback Tim Tebow make the New England Patriots' 53-man roster?
Morning take: The Patriots usually do not keep three quarterbacks. So Tebow would be an exception if he made the team. Versatility and Tebow's ability to play other positions could factor into the decision.
The New York Jets are already having issues at running back. Tailback Mike Goodson was put on a Did-Not-Report list and Joe McKnight failed his conditioning test.
Morning take: This is not a good start for the Jets' offense. This is a group that is expected to struggle, and now two running backs are already missing the start of training camp.
Who will be the starting left guard for the Buffalo Bills?
Morning take: I'm a little surprised the Bills weren't more aggressive in free agency after losing guards Andy Levitre and Chad Rinehart. Doug Legursky was a late addition who could end up winning the job.
Tyson Clabo is aiming to solidify the Miami Dolphins' right-tackle position.
Morning take: Clabo was cut by the Atlanta Falcons and signed by Miami after Jonathan Martin's move to left tackle. He's been a solid veteran for several years, and the Dolphins hope Clabo has more left in the tank.

An almost mystical combination beloved in France, mushrooms and fortified wines like Madeira elevate everything they touch. The results are exceptionally fine when you put their magic to work on great-tasting (and inexpensive) blade steaks.
Leave a Review
Excellent! I used rib eye steak rather than the chuck steak the recipe called for... it was my lucky day and the rib eyes happened to be on sale. The mushroom-madeira sauce was the perfect combination. My husband is already asking when I am planning on making this again.
I made this with grass fed chuck eye steaks from the farmers market and the flavor of the grass fed meat stands up to the madeira sauce for a nice balance. I undercooked the meat a little then kept it warm while I made the sauce and it coasted in beautifully with velvety texture and nice flavor
Go for the sirloins or chicken breast stuffed w mushrooms & rice. The best of this recipe is the sauce. I put the mushrooms & some stock in my mini cusinart. The result was a great smoothe sauce to go under the featured presentation. Make in advance and freeze in multiple proportions in ziplok sandwich bags.
I thought this was an easy and flavorful dish but needed some kick. Next time I will use beef broth instead of water and maybe a splash of Lea & Perrins. Maybe a drop of hot sauce. I had to use two teas. of cornstarch for the right consistency.
The mushroom sauce on this is really good, but *don't* use blade steaks! They're tough, and my boyfriend wasn't able to finish his. Make the mushrooms and serve with a good cut of steak instead.
This was a tasty, easy weeknight dish. We used sirloin because our butcher didn't have blade steaks, and it turned out beautifully. Sure, using corn starch to thicken is a little out of the ordinary, but it tasted good and came together quickly. The sauce also reheated quite well the next day for lunch (I dunked cold steak in the warm sauce - pretty good!)
Cornstarch mixed with water to thicken a sauce? Mon Dieu! That's ancient, blah American/Chinese -- not French. A waste of steak, Madeira and mushrooms.
Easy for a week night supper, but nothing truly memorable.

KPIT K-SAR suite comprises of K-SAR Editor (ECU Configuration Editor) & AUTOSAR Basic software stack. K-SAR Editor is a PC-based tool used for RTE configuration, RTE generation, and configuration and generation of AUTOSAR Basic Software code. The tool has been successfully evaluated by leading OEMs and tier 1 suppliers.
KPIT BSW components are pretested and tuned for the highest performance on a number of popular microcontroller variants and families. These standard compliant modules can be integrated with MCAL, OS, and complex drivers supplied by tier 1s, third-party vendors, and semiconductor suppliers. The components are implemented in embedded C with full compliance to MISRA rules and are developed by following stringent quality processes meeting Automotive SPICE Level 5 requirements. KPIT BSW components can be configured using any AUTOSAR compliant third-party configuration tools.
Users perform BSW configuration by inputting ECU configuration parameter definition files and generating the run-time interface for all BSW modules including MCAL. Users can also import the system configuration description and automatic mapping with ECU configuration from the system level. Finally, they can validate the configuration and then generate the ECU configuration description files for BSW modules including MCAL.
BSW generation is performed using a command line interface. In this step, configuration source and header files are created for a specific BSW module. The BSW generation uses the ECU configuration description (XML) file as input to generate the C header file(s) and C source file(s) for BSW modules.
Users can perform RTE configuration through an interface that takes ECU configuration parameter definition files as input and generates the run-time interface for RTE, OS, COM, and other BSW modules. RTE configuration also uses the AUTOSAR Software Component (SW-C) description file for importing the mapping from application data to ECU level and generates the ECU configuration description files for RTE, OS, COM, and other BSW modules.
RTE generation is performed using a command-line interface for creating the AUTOSAR Software Component API functions that link AUTOSAR Software Components to the OS. RTE manages communication between various AUTOSAR Software Components and also between AUTOSAR Software Components and Basic Software Modules. The required RTE source code will be generated using the ECU configuration description of BSW (RTE, COM, OS, and other BSW module), SW-C description, and AUTOSAR compliant application source code generated using Simulink and Embedded Coder from MathWorks.

Photographs of Vergennes (Vt.)
Collection Overview
This collection contains 788 images comprising 122 years of history in Vergennes, Vermont's oldest city. Featuring a wide range of topics, which date from the 1866 Civil War parade to the 1988 Bicentennial, the collection provides a comprehensive and unusual look at small town life in northern Vermont. These photographs document the full visual spectrum of history in Vergennes, from businesses, industries, and transportation to natural scenery, paintings, and portraits of people who once walked the city's streets.
These images were scanned from 35mm slides located in the Bixby Memorial Free Library archives in Vergennes. The slides were made around 1987 from color photographs taken of the original images. The originals, mainly of the Vergennes area but including several from Ferrisburgh and Lake Champlain, had accumulated over the years in the library's historical materials repository. Many of these photographs, along with the slides and accompanying inventory notebook, can be viewed with permission at the library.
The authors of these photographs remain undocumented and anonymous, except for a selection of photographs by local artist Harvey Custer Ingham (1863-1931), a personal friend of local businessman and library founder William Gove Bixby (1829-1907).
Mr. Bixby left funds from his estate for the founding of a public library in the city of Vergennes, including the construction of the imposing Greek revival library building on Main Street. The library opened on November 4, 1912, and in 2012 celebrates a century of continued service to Vergennes and the surrounding towns of Addison, Panton, Waltham, and Ferrisburgh.

it's such a fucking worthless 2-set I wish they would just redesign it to something lazy like an auto-shot. at least that would do dps
it's such a fucking worthless 2-set I wish they would just redesign it to something lazy like an auto-shot. at least that would do dps
its 8 sec
Screenshot: http:[email protected]/9575856884/
I was basing my original sims off the 8 second, I actually hadn't doublechecked the MM results since it was changed to 4 second. That definitely brings down the RF uptime (I see it cast 6 times in a 7.7 min fight) but it looks like it still results in a fairly decent amount of aimed shots cast between the 2 and 4pc bonuses. I should note that when I set the sim to only cast aimed shot when the speed is 1.5 sec or below, it looks like the slowest aimed shots actually getting cast are 1.224 speed, so I'm not sure what the exact tipping point is, and I haven't compared the results to simc which is probably more accurate at this sort of rotation testing.
- - - Updated - - -
Even at 4 sec, I see it simming at about a 3.4k dps gain for MM and fairly good amounts for the other two specs as well.
on an xpac where you are doing 200k+ 3.4 seems like nothing, i bet BIS is going to be a hunter playing bm with full TF or w/e is the new name in all slots. this is sad. arp was complicated yet you right now dont know if 2pc or even 4pc is enough to outdps ++ ilvl on heroic TF.
ty for your post zehera. there is also a post i made that probably require more of your attention since you are so good with numbers, this is the post: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...8718556?page=1
i posted to see if ppl would go there and bump like/dislike and they started fighting eachother. will be amazing if u could review this post.
You're thinking of two different things.
The first is Steady Focus - it gives us 15% ranged haste and makes our steady shot generate 3 additional focus. This buff lasts 20 seconds and is gained by casting two steady shots in a row. This is up 100% of the time.
The second is Master Marksman - it gives every steady shot a 50% chance to give a stacking buff. At three stacks aimed shot is instant and costs 0 focus.
As for what blkgunz said about only casting Aimed Shot when it's instant, that's wrong. In pretty much any gear level I've looked into, it's a damage bonus to cast Aimed Shot during any major haste buff (Rapid Fire and Heroism) and to forsake Arcane Shot during those times. This means that on live, if you don't stack Heroism and Rapid Fire (which you shouldn't), you can have nearly two minutes worth of hardcast Aimed Shots on a 7.5 minute fight and everything is timed properly. With 5.4, we'll be losing about 30 seconds worth of hardcast Aimed due the the Readiness removal.
I know that with the 2pc we'll have more rapid fires, especially since Aimed now lowers the CD as well, so hopefully it'll work out well.
I haven't played a Hunter since 5.0.1, so I'm not up on Hunter info, and I'm curious: if hard-casting AS resets/disables auto-shot, how does that work out in the long run in terms of DPS? It seems like such a high usage of AS would have a severe effect on auto-shot performance.
"I will say, I think it passing odd that I am loved by one for a kindness I never did, and reviled by so many for my finest act."
On live, it's a small gain over using Arcane. In 5.4 I would imagine the gap only grows wider as the damage to focus ratio for arcane only gets worse while the damage to focus of aimed get's much better. I haven't had the chance to actually get on the PTR to double check, but I can't imagine it swinging the other way, especially since they added Aimed to the 2pc set bonus.
Yes, you lose some auto shots which devalues Mastery a bit, but in my experience it's worth it and will only become more so.
Yes, this leads to Mastery being significantly devalued compared to Crit and Haste. From FemaleDwarf with PTR setting enabled, I'm seeing relatively significant gains (about 3%) in switching to ONLY Aimed Shot as a focus dump and ignoring Arcane Shot altogether. That is on top of the slight gains that MM would have naturally coming into the patch - we'll be in a much better place, by (I'm hoping) 5% or so.
I tested MM in a variety of spec configs / gearing and best as I can tell, there is a minimal difference between Crit and Haste with a hardcast Aimed spec, leaning more towards crit by a TINY percentage. That's even taking into account crit being devalued in lat T14 / early T15 when we hit the 25% softcap during Careful Aim. Take my words with a grain of salt though - I encourage everyone to do their own testing. It's entirely possible I may be overlooking something.


text: Thanks to what looks like a photo shoot of some kind, we're getting a detailed first look at the upcoming Chevy Orlando, a concept vehicle set for worldwide debut next week at the Paris Motor Show. The Orlando is based on the same platform as the 2010 Chevy Cruze and shares a lot of the interior and instrument panel styling elements. But when you go outside, things go a bit crazy. GM seems to have drawn inspiration from the movie Tron and given the Orlando a healthy dash of dramatic blue lighting. Check out the color-changing neon rings around the side-view mirrors and the rings around the door handles. We also don't exactly know what the heck is going on with the neon blue sunroof, but it sure looks futuristic, don't it? Maybe they should have called it the Chevy Lightcycle concept. We'll be bringing you the details on the what-for's on all this craziness as we get more info. For the moment, enjoy the early live look.

Social Media is "Word of Mouth on Steroids": Or is It?
by Ed Keller At a conference earlier this year, an executive from Facebook declared that social networking sites like Facebook deliver "word of mouth at scale." He went on to say, "This is what marketers have always tried to bottle up. The social web is finally allowing us to do that. This is word of mouth on steroids." The notion that social media is word of mouth on steroids is a comment I frequently hear others make, as well. Last week, I came across an article documenting "The 100 Most Engaging Brands on Facebook" for the month of September. At first blush, the numbers appear to be impressive, indeed. Topping the list was Facebook itself with 53 million fans, followed by Coca-Cola (34m), Disney (28m), Starbucks (25m), and Red Bull

Showing Emotion is the New Black
by Ed Keller At a recent event in Seattle sponsored by the Word of Mouth Marketing Association, Heather Oldani of McDonalds told the audience, "For brands, showing emotion is the new black." It resonated with the audience, and was one of the most tweeted takeaways from the event. Oldani's comment was a continuation of thoughts she had shared in September when she was the keynoter at the PR News Platinum Awards luncheon. At that event she explained further: "Listening, having a conversation, and building long-term relationships are all key traits that we as humans possess and employ at various times. However, it hasn't been until recently that the idea of connecting these 'human elements' to brands has been made. Ella Luna from IDEO declared at a recent design forum here
Frito-Lay, CVS Engage Female Shoppers
WARC.com August 26, 2011 Frito-Lay, Harley-Davidson and CVS are among the brands which have most effectively engaged female consumers in the US during the last year, a study has found. Women at NBCU, a division of NBC Universal, used search data from Compete, social media statistics from New Media Strategies and in-person word of mouth analysis by the Keller Fay Group to build an index ranking 500 advertisers on this metric over 12 months. Frito-Lay set a new record for generating the most "likes" on Facebook in 24 hours, adding 1.5m fans of both genders, partly thanks to creating a branded farm on Farmville so players could make healthy "virtual goods." It also live streamed a Flavour Kitchen event in Times Square, providing cooking demonstrations and tips for busy mums,

Social Media WOM Propels Purchasing Decisions
MediaPost News August 3, 2011 Regardless of what channels deliver the information, nearly 50% of consumers 18-54 say they are very likely to purchase items based on word of mouth. That's according to new research from Microsoft Advertising, in conjunction with the Keller Fay Group, which collected 24,724 interviews from respondents ages 18-54 throughout 2010. So, how do marketers influence those conversations? "The answer is by reaching the right social audience," according to Natasha Hritzuk, director of ad sales research and analytics at Microsoft. "If you're putting your brand messages in front of individuals that don't talk and share, that's not going to help your word of mouth," added Hritzuk. "You want to go beyond platforms to build real relationships with consumers who are social and likely to speak favorably

Life in the Fast (Food) Lane
Today's teens live in the fast lane – school, homework, extra-curricular activities like sports or band, a social life, and in many cases a part-time job take up much of their time. They are on the go from early in the morning to late at night. And often fast food is the quickest and easiest option to fuel their fast-paced lives. Recent Keller Fay research from TalkTrack®, our ongoing study of what people are talking about, both online and offline, shows that teens are also highly likely to talk about fast food, or QSR (Quick Service Restaurants): 20% of QSR WOM is among teens age 13 to 17. And for some of the more popular brands, teens account for more than one-quarter of those talking about them (Burger King, 27%;

Brands Mentioned 3bn Times a Day in US
NEW YORK: Shoppers in the US mention brands over 3bn times a day, new figures show. Internet company Google and specialist consultancy Keller Fay polled 3,000 adults, and found a majority were "highly likely" to buy something after hearing positive feedback from a trusted source. On receiving favourable reports in this way, 28% of the sample displayed a strong level of purchase intent, and 26% had already bought the offering in question. The study estimated there are 2.4bn conversations involving brands each day, incorporating 3.3bn "mentions" of specific goods and services. A 94% proportion of all interactions still take place offline, with 82% happening face-to-face and 11% on the phone. By contrast, the internet – including social networks, forums and blogs – took just a 5% share on this metric.

What's the Biggest Online Source to Drive Word of Mouth? The Answer Might Surprise You.
With the meteoric rise of social networking, marketers can be forgiven for thinking that word of mouth equals social media. This is wrong on two counts. Firstly, the overwhelming majority of word of mouth still occurs offline, not online. This is not an indictment of social media, but rather a reflection of just how large the volume of face-to-face word of mouth is. Because offline WOM is harder to measure, it's often discounted. But that's a mistake. There are important planning and evaluation implications that stem from this, and we have discussed them previously. The second problem with thinking WOM equals social media is that the role of the internet in word of mouth extends far, far beyond social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and FourSquare. The things people see

The Emotions That Spark Word of Mouth
In his keynote speech to the Advertising Research Foundation's recent media conference, New York Times columnist David Brooks talked about key themes from his new book, The Social Animal, that relate to marketing. He told the audience of nearly 700 that he believes the primacy of emotion is one of the three most important "foundations" coming out of scientific inquiry in the fields of neuroscience and psychology. "Emotions are central to how we think and to the wiring of the fibers of the brain," he said. At the same conference, I presented a paper with MediaVest's Emily Vanides on the topic, "Conversation Triggers: Sparking Conversation with Advertising and Media." Consistent with the point made by Brooks, our research shows that strong emotional content is key to people's desire to pass

text: Detroit Auto Show Preview: Ford's Non-Mustang Mustang-Platformed Interceptor ConceptRay Wert12/31/06 12:38amFiled to: Detroit Auto Show2007Concept CarsInterceptorDetroitFord53EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it here. What you see in front of you is the product of a bold move — or so we're told. This four-door sedan concept's got a 5.0-liter Cammer V8 with 400hp, and was called by FoMoCo Prez of the 'mericas "a Mustang all grown up." But since with our luck all we'll see this year is a five hundred with the Gillette-like "Hi, I'm Dave" tri-blade on the front end, we're pleased to see what Ford's got here — despite the fact it'll have the opposite of the Lincoln MKR concept's independent rear axle. Ford should be building something like this for fans of the strong n' forward-facing fascia of the classic 'merican sedan. This is a car that could compete with a 300C — if it were in the market now and not merely a concept. But whatevs, maybe it actually means FoMoCo's gonna bring something to market in the sedan market with some pizazz over the next five years. Gallery below and full release after the jump. This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it here. FORD INTERCEPTOR CONCEPT: CELEBRATING MODERN AMERICAN MUSCLE WITH 'BUILT FORD TOUGH' ATTITUDE * American Muscle: The Ford Interceptor concept celebrates the best of American muscle with a four-door that marries "Built Ford Tough" attitude with the sporty elegance of 1960s sedans.* Legendary performance: The Interceptor concept's Ford Racing 5.0-liter Cammer engine runs on E-85 ethanol and produces 400 horsepower. This engine powered the Mustang FR500C to the 2005 Grand-Am Cup Championship in its first year of competition.* Safety: Interceptor incorporates Ford's patented four-point "belt and suspenders" design in the front and rear seats. In addition, inflatable safety belts are included for rear seat passengers.DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 31, 2006 - Building on its legacy of bold muscle cars, Ford is introducinga modern, all-American sedan concept that combines "Built Ford Tough" attitude with the sporty elegance of its iconic 1960s sedans.The Ford Interceptor concept comes equipped with a manual six-speed gearbox mated to aFord Racing 5.0-liter V-8 Cammer engine that delivers 400 horsepower and runs on E-85 ethanol."This concept celebrates the best of American muscle, showing customers what 'modern muscle' is all about," said Peter Horbury, executive director - Design, The Americas. "The Interceptor concept is much like a Marine in dress uniform. He looks smart and elegant but you can see the raw power that lies beneath." Flexing Modern MuscleThe Ford Interceptor concept's exterior design features substantial, sometimes brutish, surfaces and sections that give the concept its modern, powerful look.The Mustang-based concept features a traditional rear-wheel drive proportion that includes a short front overhang, long rear overhang and extended dash-to-axle ratio.The Ford Interceptor also has a low cabin and higher beltline, adding to the vehicle's attitude and sense of mystery."The Ford Interceptor concept is a pure sedan that speaks to performance car lovers everywhere," said Freeman Thomas, director, North American Strategic Design. "These people might need more space, but they still appreciate the power and attitude that cars like this represent,"Painted a deep blue, the Ford Interceptor concept's strength exudes from its strong, high shoulders. And much like on last year's Ford F-250 Super Chief pickup concept, a single character line runs the length of the body side, slightly sloping downward as it reaches the back of the sedan.This adds wedge to the car, making it dynamic, without detracting from its smooth, clean design.Signature Ford touches include the horizontal three-bar grille, which has been structurally integrated into the bumper beam, as well as "squircles" - or professionally square circle-shaped graphics - inside and out.As a nod to performance purists, the ultimate muscle lies under the powered clamshell "shaker" hood, which caps a thoroughly detailed engine compartment that houses a 5.0-liter V-8 Cammer engine.This is an upgraded variant of the 4.6-liter engine under the hood of the current production Mustang GT. The Cammer modular engine powered Ford Racing's FR500C race car to the top of the Grand Am Cup's GS class, achieving five victories on its way to the Drivers, Manufacturers and Team Championships in its first season of competition.The Interceptor concept's Cammer engine is mated to a manual six-speed transmission. The car, equipped with 22-inch wheels, also features a solid rear axle for more hard-core performance feel.Attitude WithinInside, the Ford Interceptor concept is sleek and thoroughly modern, completed in contrasting black leather and metal finishes.The dash, headliner and thick steering wheel are leather-wrapped. Plus, the Interceptor concept's four low-back bucket seats are wrapped in thick black belt leather with exposed-edge seams and contrasting caramel stitching. The seats are accented with Ford GT-inspired squircle grommets finished with Titan Metal painted inserts.Squircle accents are repeated in the concept's door trims, floor, console and instrument panel.Designed within a pair of squircles, the speedometer and tachometer are eye-catching. The needles for both start at center and move opposite each other as the speed and RPM climb.Other clever touches include retractable headrests that deploy from the roof when the car is parked. They adjust fore and aft, as well as up and down for each occupant. Audio control panel and climate controls also are stowable.On the other hand, the gated six-speed shifter is exposed, just waiting to be thrown into gear."The Interceptor concept is a sedan - but with the heart and soul of a performance car," Thomas said. "This car is about restraint - and not clouding the driving experience with too much technology. There aren't a lot of layers between the driver and the road with this car."Safer travelsFor safety, the Interceptor concept incorporates Ford's patented four-point "belt and suspenders" safety belt design in all four seats and inflatable seat belts in the rear.While current three-point safety belts are extremely effective in reducing the risk of injury in a crash, Ford Motor Company is researching these two potential safety belt technologies as possible ways to further reduce injury risk in vehicle crashes.A number of technical challenges still need to be overcome before such restraint systems could ever be used, but these technologies might one day further enhance safety belt effectiveness.The four-point belt showcases a possible next-generation safety belt that is more comfortable and easier to use than traditional three-point belts, according to consumer research. Additionally, inflatable belts have been included in the rear seat of the concept to help better protect occupants in a variety of crashes."Our customer target for this powerful masculine sedan was a man with a family," Horbury said. "He's essentially a good guy, but a bit mischevious. He loves power and performance. But ultimately, he's responsible. When he has his family on board, he values new safety technology as well as a powerful engine that runs on E-85 ethanol."Ford Interceptor ConceptPowertrain5.0-liter Cammer V-8Chassis lengthsOverall length...........................................201.6 in.Wheelbase.................................................120.8 in.Overall width..............................................76.4 in.Overall height at curb..................................54.8 in.Track widthFront...........................................................66.5 in.Rear............................................................67.8 in.SuspensionFront.......................

Let me help you with that shoe as you try it on the other foot.
We finally got what was coming to us and the entire nation probably couldn't be any happier. For what seems like an eternity, the Patriots have been the gold standard in the NFL. They could do no wrong. They were well coached, executed plays to perfection and always did the right thing at the right time.
They always found ways to win against seemingly stacked odds (see past Colts, Steelers and Rams playoff triumphs). They would disguise glaring weaknesses and make sure that they weren't exposed.
No more.
The 2005 New England Patriots got exposed as exactly what they are on Monday night in an embarrassing 40-21 smackdown against the Colts. Namely, a mediocre team that is going to have its hands full just to win the putrid AFC East.
If your stomach isn't churning yet, allow me to submit a few occurrences that symbolize just what a fraud of contender this team has been so far.
During the second quarter, Corey Dillon fumbles in the red zone on a game tying drive. The Colts take advantage of a timely turnover (remember such an animal?) and drive down the field to make it a 21-7 game at the half. Perhaps most nauseating was the successful 3rd and goal touchdown pass from Peyton Manning to Reggie Wayne when everyone in the stadium knew the ball was coming Wayne's way once it was evident that Duane Starks was out there by himself in coverage.
There are plenty of ways to slice a Patriots defensive blame pie but Starks probably should get the biggest piece. In the first half his primary responsibility, Wayne, had six catches for 65 yards. Starks didn't see the field in the second half and likely won't see practice on Wednesday. Where art thou, Earthwind Moreland? We miss you.
After a Daniel Graham touchdown made it a 14 point game in the middle of the 3rd quarter, the Patriots uncharacteristically tried an onside kick (look up "panic move†in the dictionary) that was a cross between a Shrine Circus act and an Australian Rules Football kickoff. The result was a stunning -8 yard kickoff that gift-wrapped at least three points for the Colts after they were awarded the ball on the New England 22 yard-line.
I understand that it is easy to be an armchair quarterback and criticize failed, high-risk calls. But an onside kick in the middle of the 3rd quarter with the real possibility that it may not work out? After the bizarre call, the air was let out of the crowd at Gillette Stadium and the game was effectively over.
For all the times that Bill Belichick and his coaching staff have put his team in a position to win games over the years, on this night they did just the opposite with such a bizarre call.
If you have a shred of decency - and perhaps humanity - you do have to feel sympathy for long-suffering Colts fans (see Red Sox 2004 for emotion verification). The monkey is finally off of their Hoosier backs and they can legitimately put up AFC Champs t-shirts for sale on the Colts website. Nobody is going to catch them.
Speaking of legitimacy, if the Colts wanted it, they sure got it on Monday night. The difference on offense in this tilt as opposed to past encounters was Edgerrin James (34 attempts for 104 yards) and his ability to gain at least three yards on virtually every carry. He was able to do so because the Colts offensive line pushed around the Patriots front seven like they were a blocking sled.
And on defense, the Colts had no need to rush more than their front four down lineman as they, by themselves mind you, were getting plenty of pressure on Tom Brady all night long.
As for the rest of the Patriots season, I offer one observation.
Warning: Objects in the Patriots rearview mirror (namely the Bills, Jets and Dolphins) may be closer than they appear. After watching Peyton Manning finally rip apart the Patriots secondary for 321 yards, how can any objective Patriots observer be convinced that this is a legitimate playoff team in the ultra-boring AFC East.
I hope you enjoyed the Patriots run over the last few years. I know I sure did. It fulfilled all of my dreams and then some. And now the plug has been pulled.
It's time for a new dominant NFL machine to be juiced up. And that appliance is the Indianapolis Colts. It slices, dices and makes quick work out of other NFL teams.
Just ask the shredded New England Patriots.
P>Idle Zinger thoughts while watching one too many episodes of the "What's Happening!!†marathon on TV Land last weekend:
You're not going to believe this, but the Colts are scheduled to come to Foxboro in the 2006 season.
San Diego Tight End Antonio Gates' hands are so soft he should be doing ads for Palmolive.
Never in a million years did I think I would be rooting for Notre Dame football.
On Ebay this week, I came across Dave Meggett's Super Bowl XXV ring up for auction. With a little more than a day left to go, it was already up to $40,100.
Or if you have $75,000 to throw around, you could bid on Adam Vinatieri's custom made Super Bowl chopper.
You're not going to believe this either but the most interesting analyst on the Sirius NFL channel is John Riggins in the afternoon. Conversely, Sirius is trying to put people back asleep by having Dan Reeves do the "Opening Drive†in the morning.
Another guy that I like a lot but can't tell you exactly why is Tim Fox on his Sunday night gig with NESN.
I suppose that it's the same mentality as when you were a kid and was the first one on your block to have the new Star Wars action figure. Such is the feeling I currently have strolling through Patriot Nation wearing a 2005 Tedy Bruschi Pro Bowl replica jersey.
Since 2001, the Patriots are 39-5 (.886) after November 1. Before November 1 in the same time period, they are 22-14 (.611).

You should be able to open your trunk with your door key.
Post your issue in the Deville/Fleetwood FWD forum. You will get more responses there. Most people who hang out in the Classic Cadillac forum own cars built prior to 1980. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements

Now open - Library Undergraduate Travel Bursaries Scheme
For the first time funds are available to help cover travel costs for undergraduate students who wish to visit other libraries and/or archives to further their studies.
The scheme is for undergraduate students undertaking or about to undertake their final year dissertations or projects. This includes students in their penultimate year preparing in advance for their final year projects.
We offer this scheme through a collaboration with Bristol SU's Undergraduate Education Officer, Max Austin and the University's Development and Alumni Relations Office. The Alumni Foundation already issues grants to help registered students with the costs involved in travelling to conferences where they will be presenting their research findings. This new scheme fills a gap for undergraduates who need to access library and archive collections away from Bristol.
Applications for the bursaries are welcomed from students of all disciplines. Up to £250 will be available for successful candidates.
Further details about the application process are available.

While many precious metals blogs and investors have proclaimed an imminent COMEX default since 2008, we have long maintained that the COMEX is more likely to fade into irrelevance than to outright default on gold or silver bullion as physical Asian demand would facilitate the development of physical exchanges in the east.
It appears that the CME decision makers have seen the light and agree with us, as Reuters reports this morning that the CME plans to launch a physically settled gold futures exchange…in Asia.

A redhead accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his checkup, the doctor called the redhead into his office alone.
He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die."
"Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores, as he probably had a hard day. Don't discuss your problems with him, it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly, do not make love with your husband or be intimate. If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely."
On the way home, the husband asked his sexy redhead. "What did the doctor say?"
"You're going to die," she replied.
Until next time-

Pony bead Deceivers
1 Attachment(s)
I saw something about using pony beads a while back in one of the FF magazines, so I finally got around to buying a package while at the craft store. Only 79 cents for a package of 65 in assorted shapes and colors........the possibilities are endless. I'll probably use some of the round beads to make shad darts soon.
Here's the recipe for the deceiver: Hook: Appropriate for target species (here, a 4XL size 6) Thread: 3/0, color to match pattern Tail: Four paired saddle hackles Flash: Flashabou Wing: Bucktail Head: Pony bead Eyes: Prismatic Tie in materials as per a usual deceiver, leaving room at the head for the bead. I use 3/0 thread for its bulk......the hole in the bead is wide, and the thicker thread provides a better base for it. Tie off the thread just prior to where the bead will go, and place it onto the hook shank. Jam it back, and then restart the thread ahead of the bead to build up bulk and hold it in place. Place eyes on either side of the bead. A quick dip in Softex seals the deal. |
Nice, love those craft stores for new CHEAP fly tying materials.
How heavy are those beads ? |
Hal, the plastic beads don't float. However, they're practically weightless and don't contribute much additional mass to the flies.
Thats a nice series of flies, you've posted tonight Mark. I looked at the same article by Boyd Pfeiffer and bought the beads but never tied with them. Looking at this picture it may be time to tie them.
One other thing to try is glass beads. I've used the amber ones with the hole silver plated (rochailes ?) with good results. The sink rate is slower than a brass bead head and there real nice on wooly buggers for still or slow moving water. |
Mark... I like those... As John D. says I would like to tye some with clear or amber....or maybe even olive if they have them... those may be for warm water but I think a saltwater bass would also go for them.. a bass is a bass I guess.
Yes, a bass is a bass. I posted them in this forum by default (their size). However, I have pushed the beads onto 1/0 hooks and forced them onto 2/0 hooks. It all depends on the size of the hook eye....the holes in the beads are quite large.
When I get a chance, I'll put a few larger ones in the striper archive. |

Strauss, Richard
Der Bürger als Edelmann (1912, rev.1917)
Incidental music to the play by Molière
Text by Hugo von Hoffmansthal (G)
Abreviaturas (PDF).
Este trabajo está disponible a través de Boosey & Hawkes para todos los países excepto Alemania, Italia, Portugal, Dánzig y los territorios que anteriormente constituían la URSS.
Deutsches Theater, Berlin
Director: Einar Nilson
Compañía: Deutsches Theater
Nota del repertorio The tangled progress of Strauss and Hofmannsthal's engagement with Molière's Le Bourgeois gentilhomme resulted in four independent yet interrelated works, all assigned op.60 in his worklist: 1) Ariadne auf Naxos (1912 version). 2) Ariadne auf Naxos (1916 version). 3) Der Bürger als Edelmann (1917) 4) Le Bourgeois genthilhomme Suite (1920)
Following the success of Der Rosenkavalier in 1911 Strauss and Hofmannsthal planned a further work set in the baroque period, again centred on the topical theme of the social rise of the emerging nouveau riche. Hofmannsthal homed in on Molière's play Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and Strauss was attracted to the idea of reworking the original musical material by Lully. Hofmannsthal reduced Molière's play from five acts to two, providing Strauss with opportunties for incidental music, particularly the witty dinner scene with its use of musical quotation linked to each course of food. The play was followed by a new and, for its time, radical through-composed entertainment, colliding opera seria with commedia dell'arte as an alternative to the Turkish theatricals of the original play. The original Ariadne auf Naxos had un unfortunately protracted first performance and a mixed reception thereafter, neither satisfying theatre nor opera audiences. It became increasingly clear that, outside festival conditions, the expense of hiring a theatre company and an opera company was an impractical barrier to frequent future performances.
In 1916 Strauss and Hofmannsthal agreed to go forward with a new version. This replaced the Molière play with a new through-composed prologue, elaborating the short text in which the decision to play the opera and comedy simultaneously is revealed. The roles from the original opera were expanded into the new prologue, as was that of the composer who appeared briefly as a spoken role in the original play. Monsieur Jourdain does not appear, and a Major Domo functions as his mouthpiece. The action is transferred from Paris to Vienna, and the Prologue takes place backstage. Strauss made numerous changes in the revised opera, including limiting the difficulty, range and length of Zerbinetta's aria Grossmächtige Prinzessin, removing her preparation of Ariadne before the arrival of Bacchus, and keeping the comedians off the stage at the close other than an aside from Zerbinetta, so as to focus on the love music of Ariadne and Bacchus. The practicality and conventional operatic nature of the 1916 version meant that, perhaps unfairly, it soon superceded the 1912 version. This later version remains the one that is regularly performed today.
Hofmannsthal felt the 1916 version was too far away from his original Moliere-inspired intententions and he rightly regarded Strauss's incidental music as well worth rescuing from oblivion. In 1917 he persuaded Strauss to collaborate on turning their attention to reworking the 1912 play into a musical comedy. The drama was refashioned into three acts, removing all references to the opera and commedia dell'arte characters and reintroducing a Turkish ceremony in the final act. The incidental music from the 1912 play was retained and Strauss wrote some additional material, particularly for Act III with its opportunities for sung items and chorus. This version was not a success at its 1918 premiere, but Strauss retained an affection for the music throughout his life, choosing it as the culiminatory work at his 85th birthday celebrations in 1949.
Hofmannsthal proposed that the 1917 version be turned into a new opera, but Strauss refused. Instead he extracted musical items to create the much-loved 25-minute orchestral suite which was premiered with great success in Vienna in January 1920. It remains a pioneering example of neoclassicism and rapidly became a popular score for ballet usage including a celebrated production by the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo in 1944.
