maybe the weather is to blame, really don't know, but I'm really apathic lately.
I noticed that I don't feel the same excitenment, when I start coding, as before. As I always loved computers, I cannot understand what hapenned.
Since I do professional programming I lost something.
Previously, when I got an idea, I managed to make some nice tools, humorous programs etc. Now, I don't...
Have you ever got this feeling?
Hope, this won't last long, orelse I must change my profession...

Please could you re-post that as a new topic.

Hi Mike,
I've split the thread on 1bear's behalf.
Thanks Jonathan.
The one on the left is a septarian nodule.
The one on the right might be one as well; can't tell without seeing inside it.
Superficially, from this viewpoint, it is just a rounded cobble/pebble with planar bedding running through it - appearing as ovals where the bedding interests the surface. You could break it in half to see if there is something different at its centre, and maybe see if there is concentric zoning as well. If so, it would probably be a concretion, and if it contains radiating or ramifying veins, it could be a septarian nodule.
Septarian nodules are discussed in this article on concretions
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion
There is a lot of misinformation on septarian nodules, eg.http://www.bestcrystals.com/septarian.htm,http://www.madagascarminerals.com/metaphysic_of_septarian_physi.cfm
and much of the misinformation is copied between different sites.
Also, the word 'septum' has nothing to do with 'sept' meaning seven.
Thanks a lot to both of you!!!

Cards Sign Matt Clement
The Cards have signed former Bosox pitcher Matt Clement to a one-year deal. Clement had shoulder surgery and sat out last season. This could be just another Dave Duncan reclamation project, but if Clement can bounce back from surgery, he would be a strong addition to the rotation. It's nice to see the team making a move to address its pitching inadequacies, that's fer sure. Welcome aboard, Matt!

I'm using ZAISS latest version last updates. I use to do a complete scan of my hard drive several times per year, maybe 8 on average. I use the deepest settings I can (currently Super Scan mode and in Scan Options, Riskware, ADS and heuristics enabled, the other 3 checkboxes disabled) and leave the computer unattended.
The Trojan-Spy.Win32.Agent.bloy has been found in a win98 driver (driver_usb20_nvidia_9xme_v2.1.3.exe) of a motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7N400-L) that I used from Jan 2004 to Jul 2007. The rig with that mobo worked fine and no virus was ever found there (with McAfee). I sold that computer in 2007 and built my now secondary one (Athlon X2 5000+) that runs XP and ZAISS. In Sep 2009 I built my now main computer (Phenom II X4 955) that runs Vista and XP, ZAISS in both. No viruses have been ever found in any of the computers involved, although the file has been stored in every of them for years and passed many antivirus scans.
Every computer had or has one partition meant to store drivers, installers, documents etc that I backup quite frequently to rewritable DVD's, and I have these files in these partitions. Since Sep 2009 I've been maintaining and updating the one of my main computer, that I use daily, but the one of my secondary rig is mostly stuck with what it had back then. I turn it on about a 2 hours session per week.
However the virus has been detected in the three copies of the file: in my main computer, in the backup DVD and in the secondary computer.
The file in question is a compressed archive with many files inside as usual with drivers. I've managed to uncompress it to a folder of my secondary computer and the virus has been detected in \usb20_9x\9x_me\driver\Setup.exe .
The file isn't quite important but doesn't this sound to a false positive. Any way to double check?

My HOME at a server is loaded into a local computer via NFS. My server is a 64-bit Linux while my local is a 32-bit Linux.
Is it true that: If I compiled my C/C++ program on 64-bit OS, then it can be linked to either 64-bit library or 32-bit library and if I compiled my program on 32-bit OS, then it can be linked only to 32-bit library, regardless static or shared library?
So if I want to build some C/C++ libraries from source under my HOME so that they can be linked to my program running on either my server or local, I have to build them on the 32-bit local but not on the 64-bit server?
What will the difference be if my program on the 64-bit server is linked to a 32-bit library compared to being linked to a 64-bit library? Is the former slower than the latter?
I installed emacs under my HOME on the 32-bit local and it can be run on both 32-bit local and 64-bit server. I used ldd to see what shared libraries it is linked to. The output is different on the local side and on the server side. There is one more .so file for the server than for my local. For the rest common 20 .so files, the numbers I assume to be addresses are different, e.g.on the server:
and on my local:libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x00d26000)
Is it true that each of these .so files each has two parts inside itself: one for 32-bit local and one for 64-bit server, which can be linked to using different addresses? How can I build C/C++ libraries so that the .so files can act like that?libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x00a46000)
Thanks and regards!

After trying to flush drugs, man faces charges
BENNINGTON -- A man arrested in 2013's Operation County Strike is being charged with trying to flush Suboxone strips down a toilet after his probation officer discovered them in his shoe.
Casey Gras, 27, of Bennington, pleaded not guilty Monday in Vermont Superior Court to a felony count of obstructing justice, and misdemeanor counts of narcotic possession, and disorderly conduct. He is being held on an alleged probation violation.
According to an affidavit by Bennington Police Cpl. Andy Hunt, on May 29 at 7:30 p.m. he went to the Bennington Probation and Parole Office where he met with Community Corrections Officers Beau Alexander and Abby Dickie. Alexander said he took Gras, who is on probation, into custody because he suspected him of using drugs. When asked to provide a urine sample, Gras took his belt and shoes off without being asked. There was a pink piece of paper in Gras' shoe, which he grabbed and tried to throw into a toilet when Alexander asked about it.
Gras was told to step against a wall, but refused and clenched his fists. Gras said his "bupe" was in the folded paper. "Bupe" is slang for Buprenorphine, which is found in Suboxone, a drug prescribed to treat opiate addiction. Gras was threatened with pepper spray multiple times and eventually complied with Alexander's orders.
He became belligerent again when told he was being arrested, but calmed down when Alexander took out his pepper spray.
Two Suboxone strips were found in the folded paper. Gras does not have a prescription for them.
Police said Gras has an extensive criminal history in Vermont. He has seven felony convictions including embezzlement, narcotic sale, unlawful mischief, burglary, and cocaine sale. The narcotic sale stems from his arrest in Operation County Strike, a county-wide drug sweep where 48 people were apprehended and charged.

Looking for advice on good set-ups for caring stove fuel canisters on my Tourtech Zega cases.
Looking for advice on good set-ups for caring stove fuel canisters on my Tourtech Zega cases.
Bicycle water bottle cages work quite well. I use mine for gas, not camp stove fuel.
http://www.snafu.org/pics/r1200gs/2007/0823-msrgas/ shows how I did this:
Headed out to get a 2 Bottle set-up for my OEM Adventure panniers today. Here are a couple of options for you as I was just on the Touratech site http://www.touratech-usa.com/:
This set-up mounts to your panniers: Double Bottle Holder for 0.5L Bottles, Part Number: 070-0525
Base plate mounts to panniers and allows different accessory holders to be attached and locked into place: Zega Pro - Base Plate for Bottle/Accessory Holder, Part Number: 050-0830 http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/P...essory-Holders

Hope this helps you out.
Take care,
See our Moto Photo's:http://raptor02.smugmug.com/
Thanks for the input. The water bottle cages idea is brilliant. I think I will give that a try.
marchyman, I'm a little curious about the "cage" set-up. I know how my old Krausers have worn where they fit on their frames; one spot in particular is becoming rather thin.
Have you had your bottles in these cages long enough for any abrasion to start showing up?

I am trying to create an openGL project, and i am using a tutorial to learn about it. I am having trouble creating one, instructions tell me to do the following:
After you have created a new Win32 Application (NOT a console application) in Visual C++, you will need to link the OpenGL libraries. In Visual C++ go to Project, Settings, and then click on the LINK tab. Under "Object/Library Modules" at the beginning of the line (before kernel32.lib) add OpenGL32.lib GLu32.lib and GLaux.lib. Once you've done this click on OK. You're now ready to write an OpenGL Windows program.
I am not using Visual C++, im using Visual C++ Express Edition Beta. There must be a big difference, b/c i cannot do the simple task i have shown u. Anyone know how to do what i need to do????

Student employees keep the library running in many ways, including shelving books and answering inquiries in the Archives. In honor of the nine student workers who graduated in 2013, the library has purchased books and DVDs selected by each of them. Three of these students offer insights into their selections, which you can see on display now in the library.

Title: Young adult literature and adolescent identity across cultures
and classrooms: contexts for the literary lives of teens
Author: Janet Alsup.
"I chose my book for two reasons. I conceptualize my studies at Beloit as studying the development of identities. I also wanted to reflect my interest in youth literature and how it helps construct youth identities."

Title: The Simpsons in the classroom : embiggening the learning experience with the wisdom of Springfield
Author: Karma Waltonen
"I chose the Simpsons book because I'm a huge fan of the show. It started a year before I was born so I've been watching it since I was little—I even had a little pink Marge purse growing up. This book discusses how The Simpsons illustrate different social and cultural theories. Because of it, I now don't feel as guilty for watching the show for hours—I really was just studying!"
Maggie Thulson'13
Title: That workshop book: new systems and structures for classrooms that read, write, and think
Author: Samantha Bennett
"This book offers tangible and practical ideas for interactive learning experiences in the classroom. There are several teachers profiled with examples of successful reading and writing workshops. I'm interested in the creation of a classroom culture that facilitates spontaneous learning and this book is a great resource."

The Loneliness Of A Star Wars Fan
A Wookie from El Monte attending his first Comic Con in San Diego got separated from his group of friends after getting off the trolley. In a muffled voice, The Wookie said, "I stopped to tie my shoes for a second and, when I got up, I started talking to my friend Paul. He's dressed like Han Solo. But after I started talking to Han, I realized that wasn't Paul, but it was someone else altogether. Then I went to talk to my other friend, John, he's dressed like the Joker and, well, I think you can see where I'm going with this, right?" The Wookie thought about going into the convention center and attempt to find his friends, but he wouldn't know the first place to look. The El Monte native added, "I think I might just go back to the motel, but I don't know if a Wookie would give up so quickly."

text: I guess that why she was thinking about leaving Voyager twice on the journey. That makes no sense. If the Caretaker lives in space and none of them have ever seen him, who built the entire underground society they live in? Do you really think it would take an entire 9 years to build a structure? If they couldn't build anything they who built the societies the Caretaker claimed got destroyed upon his arrival? For the hundredth time, it's called a contract. Something you refuse to acknowledge because it would blow all your theories out of the water. The difference is what you're asking for is irrational. Yeah, lets make the entire cast unemployed just so we can enjoy TV. Of course somebody getting paid to write for the show would fire themselves because hey, the Star Trek fans entertainment is more important than them having food on the table for their wives and children. Seriously, have we grown that selfish?

Photographer's Note
Belgrade names in other languages) is the capital and largest city of Serbia. It is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkans.Its name translates to White city. The city has a population of 1.23 million, while over 1.65 million people live in its metro area (which encompass administrative limits of City of Belgrade).
One of the most important prehistoric cultures of Europe, the Vinča culture, evolved within the Belgrade area in the 6th millennium BC. In antiquity, Thraco-Dacians inhabited the region, and after 279 BC Celts conquered the city, naming it Singidūn. It was conquered by the Romans during the reign of Augustus, and awarded city rights in the mid 2nd century.It was settled by the Slavs in the 520s, and changed hands several times between the Byzantine Empire, Frankish Empire, Bulgarian Empire and Kingdom of Hungary before it became the capital of Serbian King Stephen Dragutin (12821316). In 1521, Belgrade was conquered by the Ottoman Empire and became the seat of the Sanjak of Smederevo. It frequently passed from Ottoman to Habsburg rule, which saw the destruction of most of the city during the Austro-Ottoman wars. Belgrade was again named the capital of Serbia in 1841. Northern Belgrade remained the southernmost Habsburg post until 1918, when the city was reunited. As a strategic location, the city was battled over in 115 wars and razed to the ground 44 times. Belgrade was the capital of Yugoslavia (in various forms of governments) from its creation in 1918, to its final dissolution in 2006.

text: I definitely want more movies. If nothing else, it gives us some time to get our heads on straight about what Star Trek is all about. Star Trek had run itself into the ground by the time of Nemesis and there wasn't a damn original idea left. Abram's reboots keep them in the public eye while also being just plain entertaining. It helps foster good will for the inevitable new series.

Regional reports on the job and housing markets for the month of May are due out this week.
Minnesota's most recent jobs report for the month of April presented what have now become routinely mixed signals: The unemployment rate ticked down slightly to 5.6 percent, even though employers dumped jobs.
Economists say such mixed signals are typical in a sluggish recovery.
The state's jobs report for May might not look much better, especially if it reflects national trends, which is often the case.
Hiring across the U.S was tepid last month, even as other measures of labor demand remained reasonably strong.
The employment numbers are due out Thursday.
Twin Cities housing numbers come out on Tuesday and could point in a more positive direction. Housing inventory levels have been dropping and sales rising, both signs of an improving market.

BLACKSBURG, S.C. — A Blacksburg Middle School teacher has been charged with a sex crime involving a student.
The Herald-Journal of Spartanburg reported that police say 61-year-old Randy Hawkins of Gaffney is charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
A police report says a witness saw Hawkins hit a 13-year-old girl on the buttocks with his hand. The incident was reported to police last month.
Cherokee County School Superintendent Quincie Moore says Hawkins is on paid administrative leave while the district investigates.
She says Hawkins taught a resources class and worked with special needs children. He has been with the school district for 7 years.

Felix OK, but hip soreness forces early exit
By Matt Slovin / MLB.com
DETROIT -- Felix Hernandez exited Saturday night's 4-2 loss to the Tigers after five innings due to the hip injury he suffered on a comebacker to the mound.
The injury, combined with his rising pitch count, forced an end to his run of 16 consecutive outings in which he threw at least seven innings and allowed no more than two runs.
"It's over," Hernandez said after the game, when asked about the end to the historic streak. "Start a new streak."
Not since 1900 had a pitcher gone that long under those standards.
Hernandez described himself as "pretty sore" after the game, saying Ian Kinsler's comebacker "hit me pretty good." He doesn't expect the hip injury to impact his next start, however.
It's possible that the memorable streak wouldn't have come to an end Saturday had Kinsler not clipped Hernandez's hip on his groundout. Hernandez was at 49 pitches through just two innings, and he served up a long home run to Detroit's Nick Castellanos in the fourth. But after Castellanos' shot, Hernandez seemed to settle in a bit. He retired five of the next six batters he faced, giving him at least a fighting chance of making it through two more frames to extend the streak.
"I know we would've marched him right back out there [had he not been hurt]," Hernandez's catcher, Mike Zunino, said.
Instead, he had to come out of the game, tying his shortest start of the year. Meanwhile, his counterpart, David Price, lived up to his end of the bargain.
As manager Lloyd McClendon put it, "The stars didn't align tonight" for his ace.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by Goliath, Mar 12, 2009.
Sorry, I don't know what came over me.
I meant to say Battlefield Earth.
You don't like it, WE GET IT for fuck sake.
Hey, man, I'm just dispassionately reporting the facts. Don't shoot the messenger.
Why not??? Gerald Butler did it in that spartan movie.
Edgar Wright should take a shot at this, anybody know what he's doing?
^ Non-terrible projects.
And was dead a few days later.
Good point!
FYI, I was being silly
This wouldn't be TrekBBS without the Captain Robert April or TheMasterOfOrion type of post, now would it?
I wasn't too happy with the book but I'm actually looking forward to the movie. I think this is one of those that'll translate well on screen.
And that was exactly the point of her novels.
Congratulations on "getting" Jane.
What is it with Austen fans and the tendency to refer to the author on a first name basis? Makes even academics sound like housewives gossiping about celebrities at the grocery checkout.
And if you're going to write bad literature, at least have the decency to make it brief. Fucking Mansfield Park just went on and on and on...
Meanwhile, I can't believe we've had an Austen thread and I forgot to post this, the best version of Pride and Prejudice ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQLhIWnpM6M
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman
This I actually agree with. I didn't finish Sense and Sensibility either, and only got a few chapters into Emma. The rest of her books, however, are much better paced.
Does anyone know much about Elizabeth Bennet? I need to do a report thing on her from this book by tomorrow...
Just Google her. We can't be expected to do all your work. No way your tutor will have TurnItIn. However, I applaud your student credentials. Nobody worth the name would have started it before now.
Just use Wikipedia. Your instructor will never think to check.

Hey all,
What would you say are some of the top songs to test speakers with, that have a good range in them?
Hey all,
What would you say are some of the top songs to test speakers with, that have a good range in them?
Songs you know, whats the point of testing something you dont know regardless of it's dynamic range, bandwidth, bass response and so on, i could reccommend a thousand songs but if you dont know the song or what it sounds like on your gear you still wont know. Many years ago hi fi shops would play the familier hi fi test records of dire straits, fleetwood mac, rikki lee jones etc, etc and nearly all would sound good so you could start there but most dealers, if they are good ones encourage you to bring your own recordings.
don't worry about range, just test speakers with music that You usually listen to.
Yep, take music you know well and have been listening to for years. You should hear detail, bass, texture etc you've never noticed before.
Having said that, when dem'oing recently I also used the following:
Massive Attack, Unfinished Sympathy - has 'hidden' low-end 'thunder' during intro, some speaker/amps reveal, some don't...
Cee Lo Green, Bright Lights, Bright City - good test of organisation/rythm, can sound a 'flubbery'/boomy mess.
David Bowie, Always Crashing In The Same Car - good test of mid-range detail and texture.
Frank Sinatra, Moon River - there're a few bars of guitar during the finale, if it's clearly audible, you've great detail.
Melody Gardot, Our Love Is Easy - if all of the above qualities are revealed and her voice has no sibilance, you've reached audio/musical nirvana.
And probably spent over £30k on perfectly matched speakers/amp/source :grin:
shpongle - new way to say hooray
Infected Mushroom - Vicious Delicious
The compilation CD that Dali do is pretty amazing. The soundtrack CD for Tron, by Daft Punk is pretty amazing too. Plenty of complex kick ass bass, and orchestral subtlety as well.
He's a Pirate... Nuff said :boohoo: :cheers:
lol just replied to the unanswered thread! Here's my post to keep it all in one place...
My personal favourites for testing include...
Rush - Subdivisions (Signals, 1982) Nice warm tones from the synths combined with crisp notes on the drums
Golden Girls - Kinetic (Ministry Presents The General S'election, 2002) More warm tones but with added punch in the bass
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (I shouldnt have to name the album for this!) Its awesome simple as.
Meshuggah - Pravus (Obzen, 2008 ) Chaotic!
Lamb of God - Laid to Rest & One Gun (Ashes of the Wake, 2004) Balls out Metal, love the sinking bass tones and big kicks at the end of One Gun.
Chicane - Far From The Maddening Crowds (1997) This is still in my top 10 fav albums of all time and is my number one test disc.
I tend to blitz through a lot of my favourite material as its the stuff I'm most used to hearing but these tracks are the ones that I usually go back to for repeats.
Ulla Meinecke - "Wenn nicht fuer immer, denn wenigstens fuer ewig"
German, a very old LP, but superbly recorded and great songs.
The most important thing is to take a small group of songs, maybe only 5-6 that you can play over and over again on a demo, and get the closest to an A->B demo.
Toni Braxton - 'Toni Libra' track 7- 'Sposed to be', Bass, female vocals(sibalence, tone..etc), seperation, depth of stage.
track 10 - 'Shadowless' - emotion, neunces/transients, edges, image.
D'angelo - 'Brown sugar' track 7 - 'Crusin' = musical magic.
The eponymous Tracy Chapman album, especially track 4 - Behind the Wall. If you can't hear the space around her and the natural reverb of the studio then the speakers are really flawed.
The whole album is a brilliant test disc, simply recorded and very good range.
lol just replied to the unanswered thread! Here's my post to keep it all in one place...
Me too..!
Just been through a test session myself last Friday:
AC/DC - Its a long way to the top (if you want to rock n' roll) - good for treble, the pipes can sound 'wrong' and its very noticeable
Muse - Feeling good - good for keyboards and 'big entrances'
Pearl Jam - Immortality - acoustic lows to drum highs, great mixture
The Answer - Under the Sky - big guitars, drums and vocals
Led Zeppelin - Going to California - no comment required!
The Faces - Ooh La La - fantastic acoustic guitar and vocals
Smashing Pumpkins - Zero
Black Crowes - Remedy
Can you tell I like rock..?!
Job done
Yep, take music you know well and have been listening to for years. You should hear detail, bass, texture etc you've never noticed before.
Exactly :clap:
Some of my test tracks...
Bass tests (all electronic, I'm not much into organ music )
Vocal / acoustic test
Damien Rice – The Blower's Daughter
Various others
My Dying Bride – The Wh*re, the Cook and the Mother
Metallica – For Whom The Bell Tolls
Not all are great recordings, but then not all recordings are great
Any ideas where I could get a copy of the Dali CDs ?
Many thanks

Working on a friends Armadillo speedster.
He just bought it to fix up and resale. It should be at Barrett Jackson next week in Az.
Thought I'd let the forum know just in case there is interest.....
How much does your friend hope to make by "flipping" the car?
Hi Floyd...
What's an Armadillo speedster?
I just finished watching the re-run of B-J last Jan. in Scottsdale. Franklin fans will be pleased to know the top price was $2.65 Mill for a Tucker.
Search last year's Forum for info on the Armadillo.
I have no idea. I hope enough to pay me!
Thanks Ralph, I'll take a look.
Hey Bob, You can look too! Did you go on the New Years Day run at Roy?
I drove our old rusty Tudor New Years.
There were over 100 people and about 65 cars.
Oldest car was Mike's '15 on up to a '72 Buick.
Nice 40 mile drive thru the countryside and a pizza feed after.
Had a great time.
Any chance on getting a photo of the car for sale!
An Armadillo Speedster trying to avoid the traffic at Barrett-Jackson .....
To add to the history of the Armadillo speedster, Mr. william Brainard from Oregon made approximately 9 to 16 bodies in the mid 1980's. I spoke to Mr. Brainard last year and he told me how he made them. There were ads placed in the Vintage Ford Magazine at that time. I purchased one last year and the serial number is 3. The serial number is found etched on the bottom of the gas cap. Also, Mr. Brainard said that all the screws on the body are lined up except for one screw. He purposely had one screw out of line with the others, because no one is perfect. If anyone owns of these speedsters, look for your serial number. It would be interesting to see how many were made, and possibly post a picture.
Looked at the gas cap today, it is #5.
That makes sense 'cause when the speedster was bought it had a big Number 5 painted on the sides.
Without knowing to look at the gas cap for a number the "Flying Armadillo" was repainted and Number 2 was stenciled on the sides.
Thanks for the info!
Change it to 5-2
Hi Guys ...haven't been on in a while ... I was in the Philippines till before christmas where I found a 1922 4 seater which I will post pictures of in the future along with it's story . Ken , Is yours the one from Tennessee I almost went and bought ? I just went and looked at my cap... there was previous corrosion but I believe that mine says #2, and Mine and the one from Tennessee were poster children for the adds....Mine red and with the megaphone exhaust out the side and the drum headlights ( which I took off but kept: still need to restore the headlights).
Here's the other add and Tennessee car :
The one in the add has the aluminum firewall over the wood : the Tennessee one does not have the aluminum...different cars I believe.
My Car
Dan, I did purchase that car in Tennessee in February 2012.The engine had a knock. After bringing it home, took body off of frame and restored the chasie, had two new wheels made by Stutzman in Ohio, He did a perfect job. I had two other wheels. Four new tires. tubes. Had the windshield frame chromed and new glass.Had the engine/transmission rebuilt,etc. Runs like a top. It did not have a full hood. So after getting a used low hood, found it would not fit the car. After much measuring,found out that the car had a high radiator and the body was mounted 1-1/4" to far back. So bought a new low radiator and found a nice radiator shell, moved the body up and now the hood fits great. On Saturday, the weather got nice and had it out for a 15 mile spin. I love driving this car. Mr. Brainard sent me some original photos of a few of the first cars that were built. The frame on mine has been lowered. For now, I do not plan on painting the car. I like the original paint on the hood and without fenders the paint on the body gets chipped by the stones the tires is throwing back along the body. I am just going to have fun with it. Ken
Dan K,
I was hoping you would post here with an update. The car is looking good!
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
Hi Ken, Hi Wayne and everyone else...
Thanks for the complements Wayne... It continues to evolve but I dont want to go overboard on accessories . I do think I am going to make a smaller and lower rack, black not chrome, to mount a running board tool box on the rear, removable of coarse. I did find a dash mount "heat indicator" with the sensor which is in the 1926 western auto ford catalog, and it works , so as soon as I feel like it it will go on the dash and get hooked up. I'll post some pics . I left when it was 70 degrees in Santa Cruz and came back from 89 degree weather to the current cold spell so i have been lazy to work outside on the car.....

This would make a great addition to any collection or a great parade car. **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY**
two more :
I see you must have made it to the Barrett Jackson auction.
That is the production #5 speedster I started this thread about.
Ralph didn't know about the #5 being under the gas cap when he had it painted with #2 and Flying Armadillo.
The pics are off the Barrett Jackson web page ... neat car , but i see it will need electrical / headlights to be street legal.
I saw the Armadillo speedster at Barrett Jackson's yesterday. I looked it over real good and all I could tell my sister about it was that I wanted to own it. All it would have taken was some money and a few days to stick around. I looked it over pretty good and it's definitely in need of some wiring but I'd be darn if I'd let that stop me. It was just time and money. But then isn't that always the two commodities we never have enough of. I was able to catch a glimpse of this.
That's right it's the yellow submarine.
The 1924 Armadillo speedster sold at Barrett-Jackson today for $25,300.
Please don't take any offense Ken but $25,300 ?????!!!!!????? Seriously ???? Not bad for a $1700 kit !!! So what does that make mine being #2 with a Ruxtell and Rocky Mountains worth ? No offense to whoever bought it , but what did PT Barnum say ???? I think the economy must be recovering ....
I thought that it might go for $6,000-$8,000. I too was surprised at that price. There must have been two serious bidders that wanted that car. I doubt if any other one will ever get that high. Ken
When you think that the folks in Salinas let the 1914 go for $5000 and this was $23,500 ...wow! Now remember , I own one , so this is no dis to the car , builder, buyer or Ken..... I guess if only 16 were made it makes it unique , and if I had to have it , and had the budget , I would buy it .
oops! sorry Ken , I meant Floyd....
Hey Dan that's OK. I have no interest in the speedster....was just helping a friend.
How did you find the sale price? I didn't see it on the TV and BJ doesn't list it on their website that I've seen.
I do know it sold for that price though.....
Go to the list of cars on their web site and then click on the Lot number to bring up the details.
So Floyd, was this a rebuild or a kit that was never put together before ? Ken , if you haven't seen this , take a look.
I'm not sure, I only saw the speedster in the shape it is in now. My friend who took it to BJ did tell me when he bought it it was non-running and had a #5 on the side which we later learned (from Ken) was also it's production number.

Former college teammate of Derrick Rose who actually was a better player in Memphis than Rose...I wanted this guy as an additional pick in that draft when Walsh took the helm. Boy looking back at that draft still ticks me off to this day.
Chris Douglas Roberts that is...another guy who needs the ball in his hands mind you. Has some talent but on this team and as chaotic as we play he'll be nothing but a A-Grade Chucker on this squad.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I guess acquiring him now is a low risk high reward potential move(although I feel it's extremely slim we get any reward).
What I don't like about the acquisitions along with others we've made.... they don't spell really any direction. It appears we're amassing as much a Motley Crue and Myriad of Misfitted Castoffs with no chance of making a difference.
So in review....free agent additions with exception to Beno and Metta that weren't our own per say except Smith...
Ike Diogu
Cole Aldrich
Jeremy Tyler
Toure Murry
Chris Smith
All of these guys either make peanuts or have non guaranteed deals so I don't see how they will help facilitate trades and none of these guys will receive any significant playing time unless we have serious injuries to players keeping them out much longer than expected or our other talent not being as good as some of us feel the packaged advertisement suggest

I'm considering buying one of their jackets that was rated in Motorcycle Rider Magazine. They are on the East coast and I live in California. There are no dealers out here that carry Olympia Motosports stuff. They were willing to ship directly but I'm still a bit skepical about the company and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this company.
Recommendations for other vented textile jackets would be good too

Miles Davis SACD
If you've taken your pick of Miles Davis from our "Horn of Plenty" but you'd like to keep celebrating his 75th birthday with something other than your CD player, you're in luck. Columbia has reissued the trumpeter's 1959 masterpiece Kind of Blue as a multichannel Super Audio CD, and its Legacy division has acquired the British TV documentary The Miles Davis Story for DVD-Video.
Unfortunately, I can't give star ratings for the DVD because, at press time, I could secure only an advance screener on VHS. But I can tell you that the two-hour documentary, first shown in April on BBC's Channel 4, is a compelling, personal look at both Miles the artist and Miles the man. Some fans may argue that the lens focuses too much on the latter. They may also take offense that this singular American is being profiled by an Englishman and a Scot: producer/director Mike Dibb and program consultant Ian Carr. It's true that some of the choices here are, well, interesting. Relatively long segments are devoted to Davis's brief trips to Paris. And while I appreciate the attention given his often-overlooked later years, I don't appreciate that the filmmakers, in getting to those years, had to zip by earlier landmarks like Birth of the Cool and In a Silent Way.
Still, The Miles Davis Story makes no pretense of being a critical biography. The music does matter, of course, but so does the "mystique," to quote Clark Terry, one of Davis's first mentors. Terry is interviewed here, as are many other musicians: Jimmy Cobb, Shirley Horn, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Josef Zawinul, Bill Evans, Marcus Miller, John Scofield, Dave Liebman. There's family, too, including Irene Cawthon, Davis's first girlfriend and the mother of his first three children; Cheryl Davis, his daughter; and Fran ces Da vis, his first wife. And Miles is here as well, in segments from the late-1980s, sounding as elliptical as always.
To the credit of Dibb and Carr, that mysterious ghost has a real presence throughout The Miles Davis Story. In one of my favorite segments, Corea recalls Davis once showing him how to play three triads. Corea demonstrates on a table, but you hear the triads in the soundtrack. It's as if Davis is there, ever remote but ever watchful.

No, it's not what you might think in terms of Rita stealing Rihanna's shine. Apparently there was some kind of issue with the filming dates that conflicted with other business ventures that Rihanna had scheduled and so, enter Rita Ora. According to The Sun, a source stated "Rihanna impressed movie bosses with her role in Battleship. But schedules didn't work out and Rita really shone during castings. They loved her look and her attitude."
It's alright, Rihanna will more than likely get more film offers and Rita will get the chance to shine in a lane outside of being a hot up-and-coming singer. Look out for Rita Ora in the next Fast and Furious film starring next to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Vin Diesel.

I have been trying to figure out a way to use the large cones of thread on my sewing machine. I had purchased one of the flimsy plastic ones from JoAnns but was unhappy with it. Then I was looking at the size of the cone spool and thought maybe if I could find a regular spool of thread that would fit into the cone hole then I could put the regular spool of thread inside the cone spool and set it on my sewing machine. I first tried this with a spool that was about half full and it worked just fine. I finished that spool and put on a full spool but haven't done a lot of sewing with the full spool but I think it will work just fine.
I also think that maybe the older singers do not like cone thread as I have had no luck using it on my Singer 15-91 or my 201. I haven't tried it on my FW. But that is OK, because the cone thread works just fine on my brother CS6000i and my new Singer 160th Anniversary machine.
Here is a couple of pictures of my cone thread spool idea on the machine.

The state of New Jersey has become known over the last few years for skill position players and linebackers and 2008 is no different. There is plenty of speed in the state this year and an abundance of hard-hitting linebackers with major offers. Led by Jersey City (N.J.) St. Peter's Prep athlete Will Hill, the athleticism in the Rivals.com New Jersey top 30 state rankings is off the charts.
Hill, a 6-foot-3, 203-pounder, is the most athletic player in New Jersey in more than a decade. Hill plays quarterback and defensive back in high school but he'll focus on the defensive side of the ball in college. Hill currently lists Florida, Florida State, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Penn State, Rutgers, Southern Cal and Virginia as his finalists.
Joining Hill in the Rivals100 is New Brunswick, N.J. athlete Brandon Smith, a 6-foot-3, 210-pounder who also plays quarterback and defensive back in high school. Smith lists Florida, Florida State, Michigan, NC State, Ohio State, Rutgers, West Virginia and Wisconsin. He had nine interceptions as a junior and he checks in at No. 3 in the state.
The No. 2 player in the state, Roxbury, N.J. linebacker Brendan Beal, won't be in these state rankings for long. Beal, a 6-foot-4, 235-pounder, is expected to transfer to Bethlehem (Pa.) Liberty for his senior season. Beal is one of three linebackers in the New Jersey top 10. He's joined by Princeton Junction (N.J.) West Windsor Plainsboro South 'backer J.B. Fitzgerald (No. 5) and Absecon (N.J.) Holy Spirit star Marcus Witherspoon (No. 7).
Big men have been rare in New Jersey of late but Manasquan, N.J. offensive tackle Art Forst and Elizabeth, N.J. defensive tackle Hafis Williams are both highly coveted. Forst, a 6-foot-8, 288-pounder, lists Rutgers, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Florida and Virginia his favorites while Williams, a 6-foot-3, 285-pounder, has already committed to Notre Dame. Forst checks in at No. 4 in the state while Williams is No. 8.
Rounding out the top 10 is Metuchen, N.J. wide receiver DeJuan Miller (No. 6), who committed to Oklahoma, Hackensack, N.J. safety Ausar Walcott (No. 9), who committed to Virginia, and Wayne (N.J.) Wayne Valley tight end Chris Pantale (No. 10), who lists Boston College, UConn, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Syracuse and Virginia amongst others.
Rutgers, coming off an amazing season, boasts two in-state commitments in the top 30. Teaneck, N.J. speedster Rashad White ranks No. 11 while Colonia, N.J. linebacker Eric LeGrand ranks No. 13. Virginia, with Walcott and Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic athlete Bill Schautz, and Boston College, with Montvale (N.J.) St. Joseph's Regional teammates Patrick Neumann and Christian Klein, also have two commitments from Jersey.

Once a stroke happens, the time to treatment is the most critical factor for survival and recovery.
Treatments may include hospital emergency response and followup care, medicines, percutaneous interventions, surgery, and rehabilitation.
Medicines for stroke can vary. Those that help one kind of stroke may actually increase the damage caused by another kind of stroke. For example, clot-dissolving medicines may help treat an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot), but they may increase the damage caused by a hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke by causing bleeding in the brain.
Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a clot-dissolving medicine approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This medicine is a major breakthrough in the treatment of stroke caused by blood clots, which make up 87% of all strokes. Doctors cannot use t-PA for every stroke patient (it may cause bleeding in the brain), but t-PA has been found to help ischemic stroke patients when given within 3 hours of the start of stroke symptoms.
When you get to the hospital after having a stroke, doctors may give you anticoagulants (warfarin) or antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel) to prevent another blood clot from forming. You may be given a pain reliever if you have a severe headache.
Your blood pressure may rise during a stroke, because your body tries to make up for the decreased blood flow to your brain. For this reason, lowering your blood pressure right after a stroke may not be recommended, especially in patients with chronic high blood pressure (their autoregulation of blood flow to the brain is different from people without high blood pressure).
For some patients, other treatments may include
Controlling such risk factors through changes in lifestyle may prevent another stroke.
Often, a form of heart disease brings on a stroke. In those cases,
doctors will treat the cause of the heart disease. For example, damaged
heart valves may need to be surgically repaired or replaced. Patients
with atrial fibrillation,
a type of arrhythmia, may need to take blood-thinning medicines
(anticoagulants) to stop blood clots from forming. Oral anticoagulants
(pills that you swallow) and aspirin appear to decrease the risk of
stroke among patients with atrial fibrillation.
Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes fatty buildup (atherosclerotic plaque) in a neck artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain. The procedure may help patients who have had a stroke, but surgeons have to wait at least 6 weeks after the stroke before considering surgery. Carotid endarterectomy may also be used to prevent a stroke in people who have the fatty buildup that may cause a stroke. Doppler ultrasound can be used to find out how much buildup is in the artery and when a carotid endarterectomy may be performed to help prevent a stroke.
Carotid artery angioplasty is a procedure during which interventional cardiologists, radiologists or vascular surgeons open the clogged arteries in your neck to prevent or treat stroke. They use a long, thin tube called a catheter that has a small balloon on its tip. They inflate the balloon at the blockage site in the carotid artery to flatten or compress the plaque against the artery wall. Carotid angioplasty is often combined with the placement of a small, metal, mesh-like device called a stent. Carotid angioplasty and stenting are usually performed in patients either because they are not candidates for the traditional surgery (carotid endarterectomy) or because the procedure is felt to be less risky than the traditional surgery.
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Stroke survivors face a variety of mental and physical challenges, depending on how severely their brains were affected. With rehabilitation, most stroke survivors can improve their quality of life.
Rehabilitation helps survivors reduce their dependence on caregivers and improve physical ability. The keys to successful rehabilitation include the attitude of the survivor, the skill of the rehabilitation team, and the encouragement and cooperation of family and friends.
According to the National Stroke Association, rehabilitation options vary depending on the severity of the stroke. They may include
Survivors of stroke need a supportive network to help them though rehabilitation. Stroke support groups or clubs provide excellent opportunities to meet with medical experts and other survivors and their families. These clubs are also places to learn, share, and encourage.

Alrighty. Well, I'm looking for Yuri/Shoujo-ai anime. Any genre (romance, harem, school/life, adventure, ect..) would be nice, as long as it has a decent story.
Animes I have seen
Strawberry Panic
Burst Angel
lol. Yeah, not much.
Even if the anime only has subtle hints of shoujo-ai or yuri, thats perfectly fine.
Thanks in advance!

Maria-sama ga miteru School life and some romance to i guess. Quite a slow anime imo. But a enjoyable anime to watch nonetheless.
Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito I personally didn't like the anime myself. But it does meet your requirements(adventure, romance). And some people liked it. But see for yourself.
Kannazuki no Miko Haven't saw it myself yet. But might be worth giving a try

Kannazuki no Miko, Blue Drop and Maria-sama ga Miteru.
I strongly recommend KnM as it qualifies to be labelled as Yuri.
The other 2 remains subtle, so you might want to start off with them first.

Mnemosyne has a number of yuri sequences in and out of the bedroom and at least one yuri-tinged torture session as well. Lots of nudity, lots of blood, lots of gore packaged with a pretty good story and intriguing characters. You'll know midway through the first episode whether this is a show for you or not.
Oh, there's also a potential lesbian pairing in Hidamari Sketch, though it's very understated. It's made a bit more explicit in the OVAs where it's played more for laughs than in the televised episodes.
There's also a cute, though brief female pairing in Moyashimon; the scene is immortalized in my signature.

besides strawberry panic, the only full blown yuri anime i know of is kasimasi ~girl meets girl~, and that's debatable.
more subtle yuri:
maria-sama ga miteru
yami to boushi to hon no tabibito
gokujou seitokai
wouldn't even call yuri but have some yuri elements:
shoujo kakumei utena
gakuen alice
saint luminous mission high school
soukou no strain

Do watch all three seasons of Maria-sama ga miteru. It's one of my favorite anime.
You might check out Candy Boy. I don't know the scheduling for the episodes, but two are out right now...
KURAU Phantom Memory - the relationship between the girls isn't romantic, but it is very close with no room for anyone else, and I enjoyed it for that...

These both are about boys turning or dressing like a girl and the girl's fall in love with them.
It looks weird when i explain it like this i was thinking at the beginning like "ew" but it turned out pretty good.
Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~: It's a boy who is in love with a girl but can't reach her, then he turns into a girl by magic (so he isnt dressed like a girl but turns into one) and more girls fall in love with him.
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru: It's about a boy who has to go to a all girl's school because it was his grandfather's dying wish (weird reason but...ah well). He dresses like a girl and some girl's fall in love with him. When u follow the anime you even forget some times he was a boy.
Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora: A spin off from "Kannazuki no Miko" (great anime BTW), i dropped this one because of the annoying/whining female lead, but maby you like it. It isn't all about yuri btw.
Mai hime: An anime that has an yuri paring in it, it's not all about yuri.
Steel Angel Kurumi S2: This is the second season and it says it has "shoujo-ai", but i have never seen it so i'm not sure...
Also DON'T watch Venus Versus Virus, it has an yuri tag but it's not yuri at all...they don't even fall in love.

Maria-sama is my favourite in the shoujo-ai category. Probably because it's very subtle and not (generally) in your face. Has a solid story and is an enjoyable school-life series.
Surprised nobody's mentioned Mai-Hime (and Otome) yet. While the leading romance is straight, there are very strong shoujo-ai vibes in many pairings, and one open one. Not to mention it's an enjoyable action/magic girl franchise. (the OVAs included)

Definitely agree with Candy Boy. I like the first episode better than the 2nd though.. maybe because the song is better
For Utena, instead of the TV version, try the movie. Definitely yuri
As for Yami to Boushi, you could also try Touka Gettan. There's an episode of Yami to Boushi in it.. and it's more yuri than Yami to Boushi... but a lot weirder.
Devilman Lady. Action anime.. kinda dark and violent.

For something slightly different, choose Oniisama e..., also known as Brother, Dear Brother in the English fansub.
This early 90's anime challenges several controversial themes (especially considering the original manga was published in the 1970's) including drug abuse, incest, bullying, suicide as well as the yuri factor. The story is set in a prestigious girls' highschool where the student body is obsessed with the school's Sorority and its leading members, called "The Magnificent Three". The main character, Nanako, is a new student who became caught up in the affairs of the three most popular girls in the school and, with the help of her best friends, unlocks the secrets of their past as well as that of her own family. The title refers to the letters that she writes to her "brother" throughout the series, sharing with him the trials and tribulations of her highschool life.
While this series can be dark and depressing at times, it is not without its comedic moments. I felt the ending was uplifting and very satisfying, and I warmly recommend this series.

If you want yuri you might like Otenki Oneesan http://anidb.net/a907. It's listed as hentai, but really has only a couple seconds of explicit content, concentrating on the story instead.

Lots of good ones here I see, I'd suggest Negima only one implied pairing though people always find more. Oniisama e you have to download through bittorrent and can't find anywhere else. But still very good. I STRONGLY suggest Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. At first I was weirded out because its starts off when they are little (8) but then the last season they are in their 20's. Many characters, many pairings, and depending on how you interpret the characters, you can get any pairing you want. Fate and Nanoha is implied and the biggest ship but there are MANY more.

Romance Anime Demi-God
I don't really remember there being a Yuri couple in Negima. Unless its further in the manga, as i've only read a couple chapters. As far as the anime goes, there really isn't one. Or one that is significant to call Yuri anyhow.
Unless your talking about the Original Japanese Negima. For some reason, when i rented it (English Dubbed) from my local anime store, the first 5 episodes were almost completly different from the 5 (Japanese Sub'd) i had downloaded a long time ago, which confused me to no end. but w/e

Seems like the previous posters have the subject pretty well covered. The only title I could think to add would be El Cazador de la bruja, which has a sort of shoujo-ai theme going between the two main characters.

Very true, I love those, though thinking about it, if you wanted to you can make any show have some kind of Yuri in it... as long as it has girl characters Oh there is also Kiddy Grade. Subtle, but cool action. A big plot twist as well.
For some reason I want to keep this thread slightly active. There aren't many posts and I know a lot more people like Yuri.

How often do you hold down the option key when using Accordance? If your answer is seldom to never, you're missing out on a lot of Accordance's power and convenience. In this new series of posts, I'll be sharing a series of option key secrets. Learn a few of these, and you'll be well on your way to being an Accordance power user.
In last Thursday's post, I showed how Accordance lets you pair any study Bible with any translation you wish. I even showed this screenshot of a search window with four parallel translations and three sets of study Bible notes.
Sometimes in the course of using Accordance, you'll open a number of resources in parallel panes like this. When you no longer need those extra panes, you can close each one by clicking its close icon, but in a case like this one, getting back to a single pane view would require six separate mouse-clicks. Surely there must be an easier way, right?
Enter the option key. If you option-click the close icon of the pane you want to keep, all the other panes will be closed in one easy step.
This trick works for tabs and zones as well. If you have a bunch of tabs in a zone and you want to get rid of all but one, option-click the close icon of the tab you want to keep. If you have a bunch of zones in a workspace and you want to get rid of all but one, option-click the close icon of the zone you want to keep.
By the way, you can use this same trick in Safari whenever you have multiple browser tabs open.
Easily Get the Best of Both Worlds
In my previous post, I explained the difference between opening a commentary in a pane alongside your Bible text and opening it in a separate zone. In brief, opening a commentary in a pane has the advantage of automatically scrolling with the text, while opening a commentary in a separate zone lets you search and navigate the commentary itself. I also showed how you can manually tie the scrolling of a commentary in one zone with a Bible text in another: effectively giving you the best of both worlds. In today's post, I want to show you an even easier way to do that.
If you amplify from a Bible text to a commentary, the commentary will open in a separate zone which is automatically tied to the Bible text you amplified from. To see how this works, start with a Bible text and select any portion of a verse reference. Then select the desired commentary from the Reference Tools pop-up menu of the Resource palette.
Not only will that commentary open in a new zone and display the commentary on the selected verse, it will also be tied to your Bible text so that it will scroll along with it. It's just that easy.
Opening Commentaries in a Zone Versus a Pane
In Accordance, you can open a commentary (or any other reference-based tool) in a pane within your Bible search tab, or in a separate zone. So what are the strengths and weaknesses of each approach?
To open a commentary as a pane, select it from the Reference Tool pop-up menu on the right side of the Search window.
The primary advantage of opening your commentary as a pane is that it will appear alongside your Bible text and scroll in sync with it. All you need to do is select the commentary you want and Accordance does the rest. You never have to worry about manually tying or syncing the two.
Opening a commentary in a pane is like creating a study Bible where the commentary follows along with the text. The primary means of accessing the commentary becomes the text itself: you navigate to the desired passage and the commentary follows along. Yet what if you want to focus more intently on the commentary itself: to search it, to use its table of contents, etc.? It is then that you'll want to open your commentary in a separate zone.
By opening your commentary in a separate zone, you have access to the search entry box at the top of the window, as well as the Browser pane and other features. The only downside of opening a commentary this way is that it will not automatically scroll in sync with your Bible text as it would in a pane.
You can, however, make it sync with your Bible text by tying the scrolling of the two windows. To do this, simply go to the Set submenu of the Window menu and choose the name of the resource you want to Tie with the current resource. For example, if your commentary zone is active and you have another zone with the HCSBS as the main Bible text, you would go to the menu and choose Tie to "HCSBS." From that point on, your commentary will scroll in sync with the HCSB, just as if you had opened it as a pane in the HCSB window.
In my next post, I'll show you how you can open a commentary in a separate zone and have it tied to your Bible text automatically. Until then, let me remind you that the introductory sale on NICNT ends today. Buy it today and you save a hundred dollars off the regular price, so don't miss out.

That one nitpick aside, it's still pretty incredible how that 1 person managed to inspire (or at the very least predict) several ideas that would be used over the course of 4 years.
I prefer healing backscratcher pyros.
While the spirit of trying to help the Medic is in the right place, it doesn't fit well with the Medic's desire to keep the team's momentum going.
So I'd like to make a prediction for the next salvagedcrate.
Strange Part: Medics killed
Strange Part: Medics killed with crits
Strange Part: Medics killed during uber
And no such thing as strange solemn vow.
I want a strange solemn vow and strange vitasaw
-Disciplinary Action
-One of the Grordbort weapons
[QUOTE=Citizen Insane;36263200]I'm gonna say
they already have that.
I swear, i will cry if the Righteous bison gets into a salvaged crate.
[QUOTE=emmens;36263039]So I'd like to make a prediction for the next salvaged crate.
Crate series #50
-solemn vow
-The original
-Diamondback(or short circuit)
-Righteous bison
-Candy cane
-Or an Exceedingly Rare Special Item!
Why would they put a S. Diamondback in the next salvaged crate? It's already in a crate.
As a Medic player, one of the highest in-battle duties is to keep myself and my teammates from dying. I can't help that Backscratcher Pyro without putting the rest of my team in jeopardy -- he either has to leave the fight (which makes a battle more one-sided in the other team's favor), he has to die, or I have to take heals away from my other teammates. This is the reason why the roaming Soldier in comp tf2 actually avoids the Medic whenever he can. It's imperative that the pocket get the focus of the heals whenever there's a fight; the roamer will primarily keep himself alive with medkits that he can access easily and promptly thanks to his rocketjumping. That's not to say that he doesn't get healed, but he's not a priority to be healed unless he is acting as a pocket for the time being or he wants a buff before he tries to bomb the enemy Medic or another priority target like the Demoman.
why would be care which old weapons gets rehashed with a gimmicky kill counter?
damnit bang
After the TOBOR/MvM update, Soldier will become as a great prophet to TF2, warning us atleast eight months in advance about the robots coming to take our JOBS.
All of my stranges have 0 kills.
Because I sell them as is instead of using/farming them.
Did you know?: 'Hales Own' stranges are worth a lot more when traded with gift wrap as they keep the killcount.
I'll now attempt to predict the next salvaged crate as it's actual speculation.
crit-a-cola or sanvich
Just because they can.
No one likes them. You'd think they'd get the hint after the disdain met with series 30. They should be able to catch on after a second swing and miss.
I don't see a point in strange PDA.
What would it count?
Wrench already counts sentry kills.
-Cow Mangler 5000
-Building PDA
-Bonk! Atomic Punch
PDA counts the number of buildings built, the Bonk counts the amount of damage absorbed.
Phlog and Cow Mangler are 1 bud each because shut up. PDA is 2 buds.
The kind of clever ideas that come from Valve
The Roaming Soldier playstyle is a choice that helps teamwork when paired with a coordinated Medic and Pocket because of the Soldier's innate ability to move quickly and his adaptability to a multitude of situations, Pyro lacks such a mechanic to aid in roaming and lacks that sort of flexibility that the Soldier and Scout boast.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Robert Woods was stifled. Marc Tyler was silenced. Matt Barkley was under constant pressure. On Thursday night, the California defense did just about everything it had to do to win. The offense didn't.
Despite holding USC to just 6-of-15 on third down, less than 200 yards through the air and just 118 yards on the ground, the Bears saw their fans leave in disgust with just over five minutes left in the game, before the final whistle blew on a 30-9 Homecoming loss -- their third straight defeat moving them to 0-3 in conference play for the first time in 10 years.
Click Here to view this Link."To be honest, all of these losses are exactly the same," said junior defensive lineman Trevor GuytonClick Here to view this Link., who recorded eight tackles on the night. "It's a loss. It hurts to lose a game that you know you should have [won]. You know, as far as talent-wise, we're up there with everybody in the Pac-12. That's what makes it hard. We know we can compete."
Cal (3-3, 0-3 in the Pac-12) is now winless since head coach Jeff Tedford became the program's all-time wins leader four weeks ago against FCS opponent Presbyterian, on the same AT&T Park turf. For the second straight week, the Bears offense failed to show up for a half of football, being shut out 20-0 at halftime, while the Cal defense, on the other hand, held serve.
USC (5-1, 3-1) could not regularly get the ball to its biggest playmakers, as senior tailback Tyler was held to 30 yards on 11 carries, junior tailback Curtis McNeal was held to 86 yards on 17 carries, star wide receiver Woods was held to 36 yards on five catches and Barkley was held to 19-of-35 passing for 195 yards. In fact, the Trojans recorded just two plays of over 20 yards -- both receptions by true freshman Marqise Lee, who finished with four catches for 81 yards.
The Bears, though, found every opportunity to, as senior wide receiver Marvin Jones said, shoot themselves in the foot. Cal had more fumbles in the first half -- four -- than trips across midfield (two).
"We beat ourselves," Jones said. "Athletically, we've felt like we're the better team. We've felt that we could execute whenever we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't do that. We can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot. The only people that are stopping us, is us. We've got to get it together and go back to the basics. When we put four quarters together, we're going to be a great team."
Out of six possible turnovers -- again, in the first half alone -- the Bears lost four, finishing the game with five.
"Mistakes, turnovers, you can't beat a good football team like SC when you turn the football over five times, especially down deep," Tedford said.
Junior Cal quarterback Zach Maynard continued to struggle, throwing two picks in the first half, having a third pass batted out of the air before the break and getting sacked once for 19 yards, leading to a fumble.
Though Maynard went 25-of-43 for 294 yards on the evening, he accounted for three interceptions, two fumbles and four of the Bears' five turnovers -- and very nearly threw two more picks, including one in the fourth quarter, trying to find his brother Keenan Allen over the middle in USC territory.
"I thought the rush was pretty fierce in the first half, and as the learning happens with him and feeling it, I thought he played much better in the second half, made a lot of plays there," Tedford said of Maynard. "We're missing guys that he didn't see. He got fooled on a couple coverages on the interceptions, and they're a pretty multiple defense, and you're trying to make things happen, step up in the pocket, things are happening, he got blindsided once and fumbled the ball. We got beat on one side, but the good thing about it is everyone continued to compete very hard in the second half."
The game started off on a sour note, when a fumble by Allen after a screen pass deep in Cal territory allowed the Trojans to recover and move the ball down to the Bears' eight. A trick play gone wrong thanks to a botched diagonal snap was the only thing that kept USC from getting out to a quick 6-0 lead.
On third-and-long thanks to an illegal snap penalty, Maynard took the ball from under center, dropped back, rushed right, saw open space, but that space closed up and Maynard did not follow tailback Isi Sofele right and came up just short of the sticks, forcing Cal to end their second drive of the game with a punt.
The Bears' next possession ended with a big blindside hit on Maynard, as Nick Perry abused right tackle Matt Summers-Gavin to come up with a sack. The hit jarred the ball loose for Chris Galippo, who recovered at the Cal 30, leading to the Trojans' first score on a 39-yard field goal.
"A couple of the turnovers were down deep, so there's no question that there's some good things, but there are some things that absolutely need to be improved: fumbled snaps, ball handling, things like that, are things that have to improve," Tedford said.
After the defense held USC to just three points and 73 total yards of offense in the first quarter, things just kept going wrong for the Cal offense.
The next time the Bears got the ball, Maynard fumbled again, but recovered for a loss of six at his own three-yard line. The Bears got as far as the 27 before needing to turn to punter Bryan Anger for a 61-yard boot.
A perfectly-placed 39-yard touchdown pass from Barkley to Lee's back shoulder put the Trojans up 10-0, and less than two minutes later, Maynard threw his first of three picks on the day, finding Galippo instead of Allen at the Cal 23, leading to a second Andre Heidari field goal.
Trying to capture some momentum before being shut out for the second straight half, Cal decided to run a punt-option play after Maynard threw incomplete to Jones and tight end Anthony Miller to bring up fourth-and-seven, but Anger was only able to gain five yards rushing right.
"Actually, it was an option to punt it or run it," Tedford said. "If he had the edge clean, then you go for it and you run, if it's there. Well, it wasn't clean and he made a determination to run and so he should have punted, obviously, because it wasn't cleared out enough. With a team as fast as USC is, they can close the gap really quickly, and I think he made a nice move to get outside and it looked like he had some yards and they closed the cushion really fast."
At the half, USC had 187 yards of total offense. Cal had 132. The Trojans were 2-of-3 inside the red zone, the Bears were 0-for-1. USC had coughed up one fumble on that trick play, but Cal had put the ball on the ground four times, and lost two. On the final drive of the half, with first-and-goal at the Trojans' nine-yard line, Maynard tried to hit Michael Calvin in the back of the end zone, but instead found USC linebacker Dion Bailey.
While the Bears defense continued to shine - holding the Trojans to 10 points on 126 total yards - the Cal offense just kept sputtering.
After holding USC to a field goal on the first drive of the second half, Cal saw a would-be 70-yard touchdown pass from Maynard to Allen negated because Allen stepped out of bounds after 27 yards.
"I wasn't really looking at the sideline," said Allen, who finished with a career-high 13 receptions for 160 yards. "I was looking at the inside, seeing who was coming back."
After Jones had to dive back in to catch a nine-yard toss, Maynard looked to be gaining some kind of rhythm. Galippo once again came back to haunt the Bears, stoning Sofele for a loss of two. Maynard then threw right, behind Sofele, for no gain, and on the next play, ran about 50 yards side-to-side to avoid pressure and find No. 2 tailback C.J. Anderson for a gain of 18. Maynard was 4-for-4 for 56 yards to start the half, but then Cal shot itself in the foot, yet again.
On first-and-10 at the 15 -- finally deep in USC territory for the first time all game -- Maynard rolled left to look for Jones, who, instead of catching the ball, batted it out of the air and into the ground.
Anderson rushed inside the 10, but Maynard's third-and-five pass intended for Spencer Hagan was deflected at the line of scrimmage, bringing out the boo birds as the Bears settled for a field goal.
Cal would score just one more time in the game on a five-yard rushing touchdown by Maynard, but would see the point-after attempt blocked, the first time that has happened to kicker Giorgio Tavecchio since his first point-after try against Colorado in week two. All nine points the Bears put on the board came in the third quarter.
"They played lights-out tonight," Barkley said of his defense. "That really helped us on the offensive side of the ball. I think that it was great because they were playing an offense that was very similar to ours with the pro-style plays, so they were kind of used to what Cal was doing. Nonetheless, they came away with a bunch of turnovers. In that margin of games, that definitely helps. I think that we struggled on offense, but we protected the ball and they didn't. I think that ultimately that helped us go out on top."
Despite the offensive ineptitude, the Bears defense -- particularly McClure -- looked as good as they have all season. 10 of USC's 30 points came as a direct result of Maynard's interceptions, and 13 came as a result of Cal turnovers, but that meant little to Guyton.
"Doing what we do, we're defense. They're offense. They don't do their job, we still, it has nothing to do with us," Guyton said. "We've got to go out there, and if we get the ball on the six-yard line, we can't let them in there. That's us. They might get a field goal or something, but it's still on us if they get into the end zone."
-- Tonight's game was the fifth weeknight game in Tedford's tenure, with the previous four all being on the road. The Bears are now 1-4 in such match-ups, and are 0-2 this season.
-- Cal is now 0-2 this year in primetime ESPN games, falling last week to Oregon.
-- The Bears out-gained USC 329-313.
-- Entering tonight's contest, the Bears had recorded 34 plays of 20 yards or more, with 25 passes and nine rushes. Against the Trojans, they posted three such plays: 24- and 22-yard catches by Jones and a 27-yard haul by Allen.
-- Cal's five turnovers were a season-high. The Bears began the night with four total turnovers on the season. The last time Cal surrendered four turnovers in a game was against the Ducks on Nov. 1, 2008.
-- While the Bears were held to three points in the last two second halves coming into Thursday night's game, the loss to USC marked the first time that Cal had been shut out in the first half since last year's Big Game against Stanford.
-- Maynard has thrown for at least 200 yards and completed at least 15 passes and a touchdown either rushing or passing in each of his six starts. All five of his completions in the first quarter were to Allen for 43 yards.
-- Tavecchio is now 9-for-10 on field goals this season. He made his first eight straight of the season before being blocked by Oregon last week.
-- D.J. Campbell notched a career-high eight tackles, and one for a loss. Kendricks led all players with 10 stops and had one TFL. Senior safety Sean Cattouse recorded eight tackles. Cornerback Steve Williams tied his career high with three pass breakups.

It's a Lonely Planet for Russian Billionaires
It isn't always easy being a billionaire. Especially if you happen to be Russian. Sure, you've got plenty of cash and you can afford spectacular estates in the South of France. But then some snooty maitre d' refuses to give you a table at a restaurant and your vacation is ruined! Yes, it seems the outrageous ostentatiousness of these mega-rich Russian invaders has rankled locals in Italy and France and they're showing their disdain the best way they know how: by denying them entrance to bars and restaurants.
The other night Roman Abramovich (whose $300 million yacht, Pelorus, is on the left) was snubbed by a posh bistro in Forte dei Marmi. Abramovich was reportedly so incensed to be turned away, he jumped on one of his other boats, the $90 million Le Grand Bleu, and headed off to Sardinia.
The derision entends to non-Russians fat cats as well: seedy Italian mogul Flavio Briatore was attacked by a bunch of locals as he disembarked from his yacht and had "sand and buckets of water" thrown at him. But there's no need to worry too much about your favorite oligarchs: People who travel on yachts with five chefs and 45 waiters tend not to go hungry.


text: don't know how anybody can make a truck last longer than 250-300,000 miles. Like I said before the body is shot the truck needs a hole new suspension rebuild. It doesn't matter which brand your not going to get that kind or mileage. Nobody in their right mind would keep a truck running for more than 300,000 miles by then it nickle and diming you to death. There is one contractor he bought a 97 Dodge or the last year the 12 valve was offered. He has had it since new I think the truck has 300,000kms on it. The body on the truck is shot the doors rusted I don't even think there is a bottom left on the door. Watched the owner one day open the drivers door and it almost fell off. Maybe in the USA you guys run trucks to 300,000 or more miles. It isn't worth it when you live in B.C. the road salt eats and wet weather takes its toll. When your spending more money keeping a old truck going than it would paying for a new truck its not worth it. Nobody in their right mind would keep a P/U truck for more than 300,000kms (186,400 miles) expecially a diesel. A rebuilt automatic your looking at 5 grand before installation. It doesn't matter if its a Cummins your replacing parts on it. My brothers 95 Cummins he had the lift pump replaced that cost him over 500 dollars the injection pump needs rebuilding there is another 4500-5000 the mechanic friend said he maybe able to get it for 3500 dollars the engine has 148,000 miles. Lets put it this way anybody in my area considers getting 300,000kms (186,400 miles) out a diesel P/U truck pretty d*mn good after that its time for a new one. Nobody keeps a Dodge for more than 300,000kms usually once the warranty runs out trade it in. I know you don't beleive me but Cummins don't last any longer than a Powerstroke. Cummins puke at 350,000kms (217,000 miles) the PSDs die about the same. Like I said before the one mechanics I know can rebuild a 5.9 Cummins with his eyes closed. Its a toy to play with can't remember but he said it usually takes 4 hours to rebuild a 5.9. When you worked at a freighliner dealer you deal with the 5.9 and 8.3 Cummins everyday. In a medium duty truck the 5.9 Cummins needs a rebuild every 200,000-250,000kms (155,000 miles). The mechanic has probably forgot more about the 5.9 Cummins than you Dodge freaks know. A rebuilt 5.9 Cummins your looking at 10-12 grand the core charge alone is 2500. Usually when the customer heres its going to cost 12 grand for a rebuilt engine for their diesel truck it heads off to the autowreckers and they go buy a new truck. Nobody installs a rebuilt diesel engine into a P/U truck because the truck isn't going to last. I don't think you guys in the southern states or states where you can see your dog run away for 10 miles away realize what twisty roads are like. What steep grades do to a engine. Wet weather and snow does to a vehical. Road salt that eats through a truck in no time. The wet weather and moisture in the air rusts vehicals it gets into your wiring etc. You have fuel tanks that rust out in 2-3 years, brake lines that rust out in a year. Roads that make your tires wear out in 20,000 miles or less. Doing brake jobs every 10,000 miles. Depending on how hard you are on your truck ball joints every 2 years or 30,000 miles. Older Dodge 4x4s with the problematic unit bearings were only getting 30,000 miles out of them. Like I said Dodge is the poorest built truck can't deny that fact just the way it goes. Dodge has the poorest resale value once you own a Dodge you own it for life. Very poor dealer service you own a Cummins powered Dodge your on your own the dealer isn't going to help you. Cummins isn't going to help you because they don't want anything to do with the engines in Dodge trucks. I have seen it with my brothers truck the Dodge dealers service departments are dumb as a pile of dog crap. Seen it with other guys with Dodge trucks getting them fixed at the local repair shops. Its been that way for years.

ah bless him, he looks like a moody teenager :o)ReplyDelete
its such a gorgeous pic. Love the lighting, the simplicity of it. Taylor's expression is heartbreaking, he looks so sad but angry at the same time. Perfect for Eclipse. By the looks of things, i think Taylor is going to be a good actor. Oh, and i love that David Slade is tweeting things. Do you think it's to redeem for what he said about Twilight prior to being Eclipe's director?ReplyDelete
