About NoRXClenbuterol.com
NoRXClenbuterol.com is number one online hormone pharmacy.
Buy all kinds of hormones for human use, including anabolic steroids like Deca-Durabolin, Sustanon, Winstrol, Anadrol, Dianabol, Anavar, Equipoise; biological hormones like Human Growth Hormone, androgenic hormones like Pregnyl, and other hormone related products.
We only sell original products from renowned retailers like Glaxo Smith Kline, Norma Hellas, Pfizer, Merck, Bayern Schering, Asia Pharma, British Dragon etc.
What I should know about NoRXClenbuterol.com?
First off all please understand this is a business like any other and as such there are certain rules we need to adhere to.
Listing all the rules would be tedious for you but here are the basics.
We operate under legal supervision and all transactions must be legal on our side - for that reason we require you to agree to our terms before placing an order.
By placing an order you agree to our terms of business.
So please make sure you read the terms and conditions.
Please do understand that we can legally sell and export the medicine we sell, but import of the ordered products is the responsibility of the customer.
We will do everything in our power to ensure the privacy of our customers, but ultimately it is the customers responsibility to obey the rules set in the country he/she resides in and that the import of products is legal.
NoRXClenbuterol.com takes no responsibility.
We guarantee your order will be shipped in a timely fashion; in case an item is off stock or on back order we will contact you and change the order according to your wishes.
Once the package is shipped we have little control over its delivery.
We monitor package delivery all the time and customer feedback is very important in this respect, but ultimately it really depends on the postal service.
We use different shipping locations depending on where the ordered item is available.
We generally ship items from locations with the fastest delivery to a given country.
However, some items are only available in a single location so there we have no choice.
Shipping time depends on where an item is shipped from and where it is going.
Also, postal services of different countries work differently and again that means difference in delivery.
Generally, shipping time is 10-14 days, but this is mainly an estimate based on average delivery time.
As was said above, we cannot import the products for you.
In most countries it is legal to import medicine for personal use without prescription.
However the restrictions and quantities vary from country to country so please check your local legislative before placing an order.
In most cases there are no problems, but you are still expected to have proper papers for import.
If a package is stopped at customs, each country has different policy on what to do with a stopped package.
In most cases the customs will stop the package and send a notice to the addressee.
Unfortunately this may take from 1 week to 2 months.
Some customs will simply seize a package without sending even a notice, and others will send a package back to sender.
This makes it very hard to identify and deal with a problem - in such cases it will require some patience to overcome the problem.
In case of any problems we will try to solve them on individual basis - most issues can and will be solved, but they do require good will and patience on all sides.
In case of a problem please contact us.
NoRXClenbuterol.comis far from perfect, some problems will present themselves, and we do make errors.
We are aware of it, and we are working hard to improve all our faults.
However, some problems are out of our hands.

The Beethoven Piano Sonatas
Get involved in submitting MuseScore versions of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas as a way to feature MuseScore in several media outlets, such as YouTube, SoundCloud, Facebook and others.
A great way for teachers to help their students learn notation, and for others who are bored and have nothing else to do.
In the discussion area where the Sonatas are listed, simply choose a Sonata that has not already been "taken" and submit a post stating: "Sonata No. _____, Opus ____ has been taken."
Then work on notating your chosen sonata as a MuseScore file and upload it to this group when completed. Each movement should have a separate file.
Others can help (if they don't want to notate) by working on playback or video scores for these pieces once they are uploaded.
By joining, you agree that the piece you notate can be uploaded by others with whatever corrections or additions are necessary for playback and video score purposes. So the same score may be uploaded by several people who are working on the final product.
Discussions may center around questions and answers regarding notation, playback and where/how to post these works for easy access on other sites. This is a group effort, but those who notate may place their name on the work, or remain anonymous.
All works must include the opus number and the composer as follows:
Sonate (Beethoven's sonatas use the German spelling)
No. ______, Opus _______ (or Nr. __________, Opus __________)
Ludwig van Beethoven
Be careful regarding copyright issues and use scores that are public domain. Even though the music itself is public domain, certain printed/published scores are not. Generally, fingering and some dynamic markings may be copyrighted, as well as pedal markings and other articulations. If you're not certain about this, then simply set the marking as invisible, or use an alternate marking (hairpins as opposed to text, for example for crescendos and diminuendos/decrescendos).
I've already submitted a sample Beethoven Sonata for you to view to get an idea of what we want. It isn't complete.
The Awesome Piano Players
In this group, we will share piano music and help eachother become piano players. This group is also connected to The Master Composers. So we will have a completion every once in whil to decide who goes and competes in their competion.
Musicians are welcome to post scores of any genre with a focus on or feature of flutes. The more. The better!

I want to see The Cell packed this week
Wow, we won a series at home! Feels very, very good before a day off. I get to enjoy a nice relaxing day today; having a BBQ tonight before we get ready for those Indians tomorrow. They have been playing some great ball, so we need to be ready.
Everybody knows that Kansas City plays us so tough, so to beat them and to swing the bats the way we did was awesome. Oh, I almost forgot to mention how much Bruce Chen dominates us. But that's just baseball. The one thing I always look forward to is when we play our division. We have a bunch of games left in the division, and that's probably a good thing. We take care of our own business, we should be there at the end.
If a couple of guys keep helping us out like they have, our offense can be very dangerous. Great job this weekend by Brent Lillibridge playing first base and swinging the bat like a big man (haha). Don't let that kid fool you, he is a very strong man. But most importantly, his defense has helped us out a ton all year long.
On another note, I would really like to see The Cell sold out for the Indians series. These games are huge, and we need all the support we can get. We are right in the middle of the race, so we need everyone to come out and yell. I know we get their best with Fausto Carmona, Ubaldo Jimenez and Justin Masterson (but not in that order). If we want to win this division, we are going to have to beat the best. There is no other way to do it. And even though we have some tough pitchers coming our way, as long as none of them are named Chen, I will take my chances.
And lastly, a little surprise — I think I will be doing some Q&A on Twitter tonight. So bring you're "A" game!
— Ozzie
3 Comments
What is the surprise, Ozzie?
have you considered calling up Viciedo to play left and shifting Juan Pierre to center? (Juan will track the ball better out there and his arm probably would only cost you here and there, his hustle and effort ], far outweigh what Rios has been giving)
Ozzie- Do the Sox keep stats on how Carlos Quentin hits based on his facial hair? He seems to perform better with the scruff.


text: (I'm assuming that you're talking about the verb 'rock'. "Peter, you rock" could also use 'rock' as a noun: "Peter, you dependable person". "Peter" is a very appropriate name, in fact - it's a biblical pun: "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church."/Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petrum aedificabo ecclesiam meam.)

FICO scores dominate our financial lives, as the credit report scores determine the interest rate and accessibility of everything from mortgages to credit cards.
But what if the U.S. government had to go through the same hoops, instead of cleverly issuing debt to the likes of Wall Street banks, pension funds and China's foreign currency reserve fund? Nicholas Colas, ConvergEx Group's chief market strategist, tried to find out, using the free credit score estimator on myfico.com.
To be sure, the result isn't great, though maybe not as bad as one would think: 655. Maybe the U.S. has $16 trillion in outstanding debt, and it's used about 98% of its borrowing capacity (read: debt ceiling), but hey, it's been borrowing for a while and it hasn't missed a payment (well, there was that hiccup in 1979, but we can ignore that for now.)
Colas dryly notes that, based on the ad that pops up, the U.S. should buy Suze Orman's FICO Kit Platinum for $49.95.
The average U.S. consumer meanwhile has a FICO score of 690. MarketWatch's own rate center puts the typical 30-year mortgage at 3.40%, the reward APR for credit card at 14.84% and a 36-month loan for a new car at 3.1%. Uncle Sam borrows at a 0.219% rate for two years , 1.63% rate for 10 years and 2.84% over 30 .
For more thoughts from Colas, see 5 money moves a VIX-watcher is making now.

The U-13s were the only age group not in action. The Red Bulls U-18 and U-16 teams travelled north to face Montreal Impact, while the U-14s and U-12s stayed local to take on Met Oval and NJCSA. New York Red Bulls U-18 (1) at Montreal Impact U-18 (0) MONTREAL (April 24, 2016) – The New York Red Bulls U-18 handed Montreal Impact their first home defeat of the season with a one–zero win on Sunday afternoon at Caserne Letournex. "After a good week of training and studying Montreal, we came to the game well prepared and with lots of energy," Man of the Match Samad Bouthong said. "It was great that we scored first, but even better that we were able to stay composed and finish the game on top." Samad Bouthong scored the only goal of the game on the twenty-minute mark after a swift Red Bulls counter attack. The Red Bulls broke quickly through Barry Sharifi who did well to open up space for himself before playing a measured pass through for Bouthong to run through and finish. The Red Bulls would go close to adding number two in the second half through Ryan Mingachos who shot from inside the area narrowly went wide. The Red Bulls defense held firm to secure their ninth shutout of the season. Scoring Summary (Assists in parenthesis): NY: Samad Bouthong (Barry Sharifi) 20' Linuep: Matthew Rosenberg, Sean Teixeria, Mason Deeds, Kyle Perno, Kevin O'Toole, Ryan Mingachos, Callum Johnson (Matt Thorshiem, 60'), Jared Gilbey, Samad Bouthong, Barry Sharifi, Rodrigo D'Andrea (Kyle Casey, 60') Subs not used: Matthew Goodman, Cristian Martinez, Maxwell Aunger Man of the Match: Samad Bouthong New York Red Bulls U-16 (4) at Montreal Impact U-16 (3) MONTREAL (April 24, 2016) – New York Red Bulls U-16 defeated Montreal Impact U-16 on the road in Montreal, 4-3. New York jumped ahead early, thanks to Ben Mines, only to be cancelled out by Montreal in the 24th minute. Again the Red Bulls took the lead in the 44th minute on a goal from Chris Bermudez, only to be tied by the Impact in the 56th minute. JP Marin scored and Evan Peters provided the game-winner in the 80th minute to earn the U-16s their fifth win this spring. The Red Bulls U-16s are 14-1-4 overall, and stand in first place of the Atlantic Division. Scoring Summary: NY: Ben Mines 6' Montreal 24' NY: Chris Bermudez 44' Montreal 56' NY: JP Marin 60' Montreal 80' NY: Evan Peters 80' New York Red Bulls U-14 (4) vs. Met Oval (0) HANOVER, N.J. (April 23, 2016) – The New York Red Bulls U-14s defeated Met Oval at the Red Bulls Training Facility on Saturday, 4-0. New York scored in the 19th minute to take the lead after some early pressure. Forward Alex Quezada tapped the ball into an empty goal from 12-yards out after Dylan Sullivan made a great run from midfield, beating two players and drawing out the Met Oval goalkeeper. However, a defensive turnover in the 20th minute almost saw Met Oval equalize. Goalkeeper Alex Bobocea made a tremendous foot save as the Met Oval forward went in on a one-on-one situation. In the 26th minute, forward Scotty Taylor almost got the second goal of the game. Taylor curled a right-footed free kick from 20-yards out that was headed for the top corner, but the Met Oval goalkeeper saved brilliantly over the bar. The score was doubled in the 39th minute when midfielder Danny Ramm blasted an indirect free kick from 15-yards out past the Met Oval goalkeeper. Taylor tapped the ball to Ramm, who drilled his shot into the lower left hand corner of the goal. Taylor then scored his team leading 20th goal of the season. In the 50th minute, Sullivan crossed from the endline after a give-and-go with defender Samory Powder and Taylor finished from 12-yards out. Defender Jonathan Ned closed out the scoring in the final seconds of the game when he was at the back post to volley a Peter Stroud free kick into the goal. Lineup: Alex Bobocea, Samory Powder (Jordon May 56'), Sean Ryan, Sal Pliego (Jonathan Ned 56'), Jayden Reid (Lucas Santos 58'), Conner Maurer (Sean Joo 58'), Jayson Argueta (Peter Stroud 41'), Danny Ramm (Nick Gencarelli 58'), Alex Quezada (Leo Hecht 56'), Scotty Taylor, Dylan Sullivan.

How to install a crossover
Running tweeters, speakers, and subs in an active system
Passive Crossovers
Passive crossovers for component speaker systems are very simple to install. They each go between your amplifier and a speaker and do not require a power connection, a turn-on lead, or grounding. You connect the speaker wire coming from your amp to the crossover's input. Then the tweeter gets wired to the tweeter output, and the woofer to the woofer output. That's it. The most challenging part of installing a passive crossover may be where to mount it, but most component crossovers are small enough to fit inside your car door near the woofer's location.
Examples of in-line crossovers
There's another kind of passive crossover, called in-line crossovers, which go between your receiver and amp. They look like little cylinders with RCA connectors on each end and simply plug into your amplifier's inputs. In-line crossovers each come set to a specific crossover frequency and can't be adjusted. Another disadvantage of using them is that they react differently to different amplifiers, possibly changing their crossover points unpredictably.
Active Crossovers
Installing an active crossover requires a bit more work. You'll mount your crossover securely, preferably near the amplifiers; give it power, remote turn-on, and ground wiring, like the amps have; and get signal from the receiver and send it to the amps. Once you've done the work, however, you'll gain new control over your music, being able to tune your sound system so that all of the speakers can give you their best performance.
Finding the right spot
You'll want to put your crossover in a location that won't take up too much space in your vehicle, but is accessible enough for you to be able to make adjustments. Usually, you'll just make the initial adjustments to fine-tune the sound and then leave it. But sometimes, you may get into the mood to just tweak your system or give it a different sound for the day. You need to securely mount your crossover so it won't become a flying liability in the event of an auto accident.

Do not bolt your crossover directly to metal — that's inviting noise problems, like ground loops which hum or buzz. You could use rubber grommets around the mounting screws to isolate the case. Or you could mount the crossover on a wooden board and attach that to the car body. Some people even mount their crossover and amps on the same board, for convenience. A crossover can actually go anywhere between the receiver and the amp, but most people mount theirs near their amp, making it easier for connections and for future system expansion.
Wiring for power
You'll need to provide 12-volt power from your car battery to operate the crossover just as you would to power your amp. The power and ground wiring for your crossover do not have to be the heavy-gauge stuff that you use for your amp — typically wire as thin as 18-gauge wire will be fine. A distribution block is a good way to get power for your crossover via the same main power cable as the amp uses. You'll also need a solid, noise-free grounding point — it's best to ground your crossover at the same place as your amp. Make sure the grounds get attached tightly to the metal chassis of your vehicle, with all the dirt and paint removed where contact is made.
As for the turn-on lead, you can usually tie it into the turn-on lead for your amps. However, a receiver's turn-on circuit has a limited capacity and could fail if there're three or more devices to be turned on. If that's the case, you'll need a relay, that'll get triggered by the turn-on circuit but get its 12-volt power from another source, like the fuse box. If you bought your crossover from Crutchfield and need help with such a relay network, you can call our tech support department for free advice (please have your invoice handy).
Signal wiring
You get the input for your crossover via RCA patch cables from your receiver. If your receiver doesn't have RCA outputs, you can use a crossover that accepts speaker-level signals for inputs. Or, you can get a line output converter to step the speaker-level signal down to preamp level. Lastly, you run more patch cables from the crossover outputs to the amplifier inputs — highs to the tweeter amp, mids to the woofer amp, and bass to the subwoofer amp, for example
Make sure the patch cords supplying the musical signal to the crossover and amplifier are kept well away from potential sources of noise, such as the amp's power and ground cables, the vehicle's brake light wires, or rear window defroster wires.

Crossover points
Crossover points are the frequency settings of a crossover that represent the points in each output band where the signal is attenuated, turned down, by one-half — a 3 dB drop in power. The intention is, that at each crossover frequency, two adjacent drivers (tweeters, speakers, or subs) are playing the note at one-half power — so the result is full power at each crossover point.
The crossover points you choose ultimately depend on the frequency response of each component driver in your speaker system. Check out the frequency response specifications of each of your drivers and use those frequencies as preliminary crossover points. If you can't find any such specifications, start with 100 Hz as the crossover point between your subwoofer and mid-bass drivers, and 2,000 Hz for the midrange-to-tweeter transition point.
Adjusting frequencies
Unlike the following tune-up tips that take into consideration your music's tone and volume along its entire spectrum, you adjust crossover frequencies to eliminate the distortions a driver will put out when it tries to reproduce notes it can't play well, at the extremes of its frequency response. So, for instance, if you hear your mid-bass/midrange driver distorting on low notes, you adjust its crossover point higher, so it won't even try to play those notes. The same goes for the midrange/tweeter crossover point — you move the crossover point to eliminate distortion — higher to clean up the tweeter's sound, lower for midrange clarity.

Now you get to tune your system
The first objective, in setting up a crossover, is to end up with each band of frequencies — for the tweeters, midrange speakers, and subwoofer, for example — playing at the same volume. Next, you apply the EQ curves and other tone adjustments you like in your music. Then, you do it all again, re-setting the crossover to compensate for the equalization adjustments. Some people even tweak the EQ again after that, and on and on, until it sounds perfect to them.
You start off by playing familiar music with all the tone and EQ controls off or set flat and the amp gains down low. All crossovers are different, but you can use the following as a general guide for setting a 3-way crossover:
- Find the top level at which your receiver plays your music cleanly. Turn up the volume until music distorts, then turn it back a little.
- Set the input sensitivity of the crossover, if it has it. Crossovers with this feature will also have clip indicator lights that help you set this control.
- Set the level for each output so they play evenly.
- Set the gain for each pair of amplifier channels. Turn it up until the music distorts, then turn it back a little.
- Re-set the crossover output levels to balance the highs, mids, and lows playing from each component. Try to make the system's total response flat— high notes, mid notes, and low notes all playing at the same volume.
- Re-set the amp gains, to compensate for any crossover output adjustments.
- Re-set crossover output levels again.
- Apply EQ or tone adjustments at the receiver. Adjust every available control and /or boost to allow your music to sound its best. Turn on the bass boost, if you use one.
- Because you've added equalization, you'll have to slightly re-set the crossover and amp gains again. Find the top level at which your receiver plays music cleanly. Turn up the volume until the music distorts, then turn it back a little.
- Re-set the input sensitivity of the crossover, if it has it.
- Adjust the level for each crossover output to blend them together smoothly.
- Set the gain for each pair of amplifier channels. Turn it up until the music distorts, then turn it back a little.
- Re-set the crossover output levels to balance the highs, mids, and lows playing from each component. This time, your goal is to make it sound great, not flat.
- Adjust the amp gains, to compensate for any crossover output adjustments.
- Adjust crossover output levels again, if necessary.
- Adjust the tone at your receiver again, to allow your music to sound its best, and enjoy.

I would like to add that I am most certainly not one of those patients. And the reason I've been updating so infrequently is because I have the honour of being in a play on next week. Terry Pratchett's 'Maskerade', part of the Discworld series of comedy/fantasy novels, is one of the most well-known of his works. Maskerade is a hilarious parody of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Phantom of the Opera'.
In both a shameless plug for the play, as well as an excuse for a blog post, I'm providing the blurb for the play, as well as several choice quotes from Terry Pratchett's masterpiece:
Some people think Opera is majestic and that the Opera House is a haven of culture in an otherwise profane and ignorant world. Other think it's just a lot of fat people singing in foreign. But no matter which opinion people have it's usually safe to say that they don't think Opera should generally involve killing people during the rehearsal process. But someone does...
The Opera Ghost is terrorising the Ankh-Morpork Opera House. Seamstresses are being sewn to the wall, the man who works the trapdoor has fallen through it and the Organ has been destroyed (much to the chagrin of the Orangutan who plays it).
Step forward three witches (every theatre has them) Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Perdita. Only one of them can smile, only one of them can think and only one of them can sing. In chords. The hope of the Opera House lies at their feet. But with a homicidal maniac running around they have their work cut out to get the show on. And then there's the problem of the anthropomorphic cat...
Pratchett has been credited with inventing the funniest fantasy series out there. Here are some enticing quotes from Maskerade which provide a glimpse into the man's comedic genius:
"What sort of person," said Salzella patiently, "sits down and writes a maniacal laugh? And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head. Opera can do that to a man."Maskerade is on next week from Tuesday till Saturday. Advance bookings can be made via e-mail. The play will be staged at the Fitzpatrick Theatre in Queens' College. For my readers not in Cambridge, fear not, for a full report shall be posted soon.
Most people in Lancre, as the saying goes, went to bed with the chickens and got up with the cows. [footnote: Er. That is to say, they went to bed at the same time as the chickens went to bed, and got up at the same time as the cows got up. Loosely worded sayings can really cause misunderstandings.]
"There have been...accidents."
"What kind of accidents?"
"The kind of accidents you prefer to call...accidents."
The pre-luncheon drinks were going quite well, Mr Bucket thought. Everyone was making polite conversation and absolutely no one had been killed up to the present moment.
Coming up: The Cambridge Round-up, Week 6! Shudder.
"Actors," said Granny, witheringly. "As if the world weren't full of enough history without inventing more."

I have been thinking about this for a while now, but I have decided to change my twitter handle. I don't think this will affect my existing followers, so I think it can be changed without too much hassle so I have changed it.
When I first signed up to twitter several years ago, I picked a name that reflected me and what I intended to to tweet about overtime though, even though I still tweet about roughly the same topics the name didn't necessarily give me any scope or flexibility, so I have changed it.
You can now find me @gethyn_ellis If you follow me already you don't need to do anything and if you are intending on following along, thank you, please use the my new handle.

2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
Jeep Ups The Unlimited Into A Rubicon!
When Jeep introduced the LJ Wrangler Unlimited in mid-2004, it was only a matter of time until the Rubicon version became available (heck, we're complete idiots, and even we suspected it was less than a year away). But some other cool features were brought forth for the '05 model year of the Wrangler Unlimited.
First of the noteworthy is the NSG 370 six-speed manual transmission that replaces the five-speed NVG3550 manual (the 42RLE four-speed automatic remains an option). If you think back to the '0411/42 LJ intro ("More Wrangler," June '04), you'll remember it was only available with an automatic transmission. Jeep reps later told us they didn't want to go through the hassle of adapting the NVG3550 to the Unlimited chassis since the five-speed tranny would be replaced with the six-speed less than a year later. So, those of you who bought the '0411/42 Unlimited dreaming of the Rubicon model and a manual tranny ... sorry, ya got screwed.
Underneath the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon you'll find the same hard parts as what's under its shorter brother, the TJ Rubicon. Sturdy disc-braked, 4.11-geared and selectable-locked Dana 44 solid axles front and rear, 31-inch Goodyear MT/R tires and a 4:1 low-geared Rock-Trac NVG241OR transfer case are all standard meat and potatoes. However, you get a 10-inch longer wheelbase and way more storage room than the short TJ.
On- and off-road, the longer wheelbase dictates a smoother ride and more climbing capability. Like the original Wrangler Rubicon, the Unlimited version sports the same easy-to-use toggle switch for the lockers and a real shift lever for the transfer case. For us, the front locker was only needed for really rough or steep sections of trail. We had it off most of the time and were able to travel where we wanted with only the rear unit on.
The new NSG 370 manual is a great addition. Matched with the 4.0L, you'll find yourself shifting more often but, interestingly, having more fun driving. It's hard to pick the wrong gear with the close ratios and torque of the inline. Finding all six gears may take a little getting used to, especially if you've spent time behind the NVG3550 manual. The shifter feels a little rubbery, but it self-centers between Third and Fourth when shifted to Neutral. This is helpful in finding where you're at if you miss a shift. The 4.46 First gear in the six-speed is slightly lower than that in the old five-speed (4.04:1), providing an impressive 73:1 crawl ratio. Picky car owners may notice a considerable amount of gear slop in the Rubicon version of the Unlimited with the manual transmission in First and the transfer case in low range. However, this is a real 4x4 with real hard parts, so you shouldn't complain about such things if you are a true Wrangler buyer. Get used to it or buy a Liberty. Like the standard Unlimited, towing capacity for the LJ Rubicon is 3,500 pounds - 1,500 pounds more than the short TJ.
For a mere $1,000 you can step up from a Wrangler Rubicon ($27,825 base) into the longer, more comfortable and family-friendly Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon ($28,825 base). That screams, "Deal!" to us. So how could the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon be even better? Glad you asked. Tipping the scales at an awfully porky 3,800 pounds, we think the LJ Rubicon is in serious need of a V-8. Don't get us wrong, the 4.0L inline-six is a great engine, but in a smaller Jeep. We're also a little disenchanted with the 42RLE four-speed auto tranny behind the 4.0L in all Wranglers. It really doesn't enhance or work well with the power output of the 4.0L. The 4.0L is certainly on the chopping block for 2006 or 2007; however, we suspect a pathetic V-6 replacement is in the plans. We'd rather see a V-8, at least as an add-on in the heavier Wrangler Unlimited models where the 2.4L four-cylinder isn't even an option.
Perhaps the 5.7L Hemi found in WK Grand Cherokees would be a good candidate, especially since it's rumored to be easier to manufacture and less expensive than the older 4.7L V-8. Also, how about a three-speed transfer case? The 4.0:1 low range is nice, but we really like having the standard 2.72 low range for sand-dune and mud-hole whumpin'. So what if you run the 2.72:1 planetary and stack it in front of a 4:1 planetary? This would give us the option of low and really low. A 2.72:1 and a 1.47:1 are another possibility, as long as they can be shifted simultaneously for a combined 4:1 transfer-case low range.
All in all, the '05 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon is extremely capable right out of the box. It's a welcome hardcore addition to the Jeep family tree that seems to be growing more on the softer side with vehicles like the Liberty and WK Grand. For now, the Wrangler and its derivatives (Unlimited, Rubicon and Unlimited Rubicon) are the only easily modified Jeep vehicles available for the 4x4 enthusiast market. If ya like 'em and want one, don't wait too long - they may be gone in a few years.

One of the leading American artists of her generation, Lorna Simpson (b. 1960) is well known for her photographic and film works, which often examine racial and gender identity. She believes that art, especially photography, has the ability to change the world for the better. But the issues addressed in her work are not easy ones. Simpson alludes racism, slavery, and other aspects of African-American experience in society. These concerns are not presented in a straightforward or aggressive manner; instead, Simpson uses an approach filled with metaphor, suggestion, and biography.
Photo courtesy of Whitney Museum of American Art
Trained at the School of Visual Arts in New York and then at the University of California, San Diego, Lorna Simpson first became well-known in the mid-1980s for her large-scale photograph-and-text works that confront and challenge narrow, conventional views of gender, identity, culture, history, and memory. With the African American woman as a visual point of departure, Simpson uses the figure to examine the ways in which gender and culture shape the interactions, relationships, and experiences of our lives in contemporary multi-racial America. In the mid-1990s, she began creating large multi-panel photographs printed on felt that depict the sites of public—yet unseen—sexual encounters. More recently, she has turned to moving images—in film and video works such as Call Waiting, Simpson presents couples engaged in intimate and enigmatic yet elliptical conversations that elude easy interpretation but seem to address the mysteries of both identity and desire.
Organized by the American Federation of Arts, this 20-year retrospective features her image and text works, serigraphs on felt, film installations, and a selection of recent work. After New York, the show will travel to the Kalamazoo Instituteof Arts, Kalamazoo, Michigan (May 25–August 19, 2007); and The Gibbes Museum of Art, Charleston, South Carolina (September 7–December 2, 2007)

professional, contemporary
Accepted File Formats:
This contest is for a Website template design (no code) for $500.00. Coding skills will have no impact on the decision making for the contest winner. All I care about is getting a really nice template design. The winner will also be offered more work in the future to maintain and enhance the website. If the winner of the contest has the skills to code, I will offer the winner another $250.00 to code the template after this contest is over. That is a total of $750.00 in potential prize money.
Koch Solutions, Inc. is a boutique consulting firm that specializes in providing quality and cost-effective professional IT consulting services. We cater mainly to large corporations and therefore the identity must look professional. But we dont want an identity that looks too "techie" or boring. We are looking for a contemporary professional look that is a little on the hip side.
The template will have 4 pages:
These 4 pages make up the menu. When designing the menu, please keep in mind that there may be a couple more links added to the menu sometime in the future.
For the contest, I only need the Home page and Contact page for review. Initially, you can just submit a Home page; once the Home page is nailed down, you can submit the Contact page. The winner of the contest will design the Services and Careers pages. I imagine these pages to be only slight variations of the Home page.
You are the creative and talented designers, so I will not provide any specific requirements other than the template design should work well with our logo and be easy to navigate. The resolution can be 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. I wont tell you what to design but Ive provided some website designs that I like:
The websites above share the following design features:
clean, simple, functional and yet, a creative layout
contemporary and professional design
centered orientation
soft, neutral background colors
strong colors, used sparingly
no cute icons
plenty of whitespace
readable text
easy to navigate
The following link has a Contact form that I like very much.
This is my second contest at Sitepoint. Here is a link to my first contest which was for an Identity package:
In my first contest, I gave feedback every 24 hours. I tried to be honest with my feedback and not waste anyones time. I also didnt tell anyone how to do their job. I plan to do the same in this contest.
Below is the link to the logo from my first contest that I would like to be used in the template.
Payment will be through Paypal. Other methods of payment may be possible.
All work submitted for this contest must be original. You may use photos from http://www.istockphoto.com which I will pay for if I like them. Upon payment of the winning design, all rights to the winning design will be transferred to Koch Solutions, Inc.
I reserve the right to end the contest early if a suitable design is submitted before the deadline. I also reserve the right to extend the contest for another week but I really want to finish this contest by November 17th.
Additional Info Added on Nov. 7, 2006:
As I have said before, I dont want to curtail your creativity by giving you too much direction. But some of you have been asking for a more focused description. I thought I had given enough detail in my description at the beginning of the contest. But many of you were submitting entries with elements that we did not even think about. The elements looked great in the design but they would not work for our business at this time. We had to decide what elements we could use and which ones we could not.
After much discussion, my partner and I agreed on what elements were needed to be on the Home page, what elements were optional, and what elements we did not want on the page at all. For example, weve seen many entries with a Latest News section and they look really great on the page. But we dont do anything that is really news-worthy. We dont run entire projects. We usually provide a special skill to a big project for a big company. If Koch Solutions, Inc. makes the news, it probably means I got arrested. Yikes!
Elements on the Home Page:
o Logo only the size of the logo can be altered. Dont alter the colors.

The greatest dog breeds you only think you know
When it comes to choosing the right dog, it's not reality that bites. It's the seemingly endless list of myths and misconceptions that result in too many people bringing a dog into their family that's exactly the wrong one for them while passing up a dog who might have been a perfect match.
Take two of the dog world's least-known treasures, rescued pit bulls and retired racing greyhounds. Far more of these dogs are available for adoption than ever find homes.
Pit bulls and pit bull mixes are the most common dogs killed in many shelters because no one will adopt them. As for greyhounds, there is a vast network of rescue organizations trying to help them find homes, but there are always more dogs than adopters.
Sadly, far too many of these dogs are rejected or never considered at all, not because they're actually the wrong dog for a particular home, but because the potential adopter doesn't actually see the dog sitting in front of him. Instead, he sees the idea of the dog he has in his head.
Pit bulls
There's no more maligned type of dog than the vast and diverse group of dogs known, rightly or wrongly, as "pit bulls." I say "type of dog" rather than breed because the pit bull is not a single breed of dog, but a group of breeds and mixed breeds favored by dog fighters for their toughness, scrappiness, muscular bodies and willingness to fight with other dogs.
And I say "wrongly" because recent research suggests that many of the dogs in shelters that are identified as pit bulls or pit bull mixes don't actually carry the DNA of any of the breeds normally classified as pit bulls.
Instead, a Labrador retriever or boxer ancestor blessed the dog with a short coat and boxy head, and the next thing you know, some fetch-crazy goofball without a drop of dog-aggression in his stocky body is left without a home, labeled as a pit bull.
But it's not just ersatz pit bulls that are the victims of prejudice. The real thing is just as frequently misjudged and stereotyped.
Just ask Donna Reynolds, co-founder of the legendary organization Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pit Bulls (BAD RAP).
"All you have to do to get an idea of how many types of pit bulls exist in people's minds is to walk down the street with one," said Reynolds. "Some people rush over to say hello. Others cross the street. These dogs evoke strong reactions and controversy just by wagging their tails."
So, just who is the real pit bull? Good question. "These dogs have such a wide range of personality types, from couch potato to ones who want to run around all day -- as long as it's with you -- and everything in between," she said. "People need to look at each dog as an individual, not a breed."
The "classic" or "real" American pit bull terrier is an outgoing, confident, people-loving dog that puts his heart and soul into everything he does.
"That includes climbing into your lap, digging out of an inadequately fenced yard, competing in canine agility trials or just following you around the house," Reynolds said. "Intelligence, determination, trainability and a good sense of humor are the hallmarks of the breed."
Pit bulls may be crazy about people, but that's not always the case with other dogs. "They're terriers, and like all terriers, aggression towards other animals is not uncommon," she cautioned. "And like all dogs, pit bulls and their owners need training to become a good people/dog ambassador team."
The reality is that even pit bulls from known fighting backgrounds, covered in fight scars, often turn out to be complete sweethearts -- even with other dogs. One of the best-known examples of this is Hector, a squirming, face-kissing bundle of love who is a certified therapy dog today, but started out his life as a fighter at Michael Vick's Bad Newz Kennels.
Thousands of dogs seized from fighting rings, including many other Vick dogs as well as those from lesser-known busts, are safe, friendly, much-loved family pets today.
Of course, that's not the case with all pit bulls. Some are only good choices for the most experienced of "tough dog" owners, and others are too damaged by their early lives to be safe pets in anyone's hands.
If you're interested in adopting a pit bull, there are plenty of resources available to help you do it right. A good shelter or rescue group, such as Pit Bull Rescue Central or the "Ambassadog" program at the Oakland Animal Services, will steer potential adopters to a dog with the right traits for that home.
Unfortunately, there is one tough reality that anyone adopting a pit bull, or even a pit bull look-alike, may not want to face. Some cities, counties, apartment complexes and homeowners' associations ban or regulate pit bulls, and often they base their decisions on a dog's appearance rather than his actual breed, often even in the face of DNA testing that shows they're wrong.
"The hardest thing to cope with is discrimination based on what your dog looks like rather than his personality or behavior," Reynolds said. "You have to have a thick skin and a good backbone."
Racing greyhounds
Racing greyhounds are among the animal kingdom's greatest athletes, which is why so many people, especially if they lead sedentary lives, worry they could never give a retired racing greyhound enough exercise.
But while high-energy working dogs like the border collie or the husky go pretty much stir-crazy if deprived of extreme activity levels and mental stimulation, most track greyhounds have already done all the running they care to do, thank you very much.
Sure, they'll get up off the couch and go for a walk with you. They'll race around happily if let off-leash in a safely fenced area. They might even deign to go jogging with you, if it's not raining.
But they're just as happy to cuddle on the couch and join you in watching "Project Runway" every night. A quick turn around the block or trip to the backyard twice a day for a potty break can be plenty of exercise for a retired racer.
"People worry they'll be wild and crazy dogs that are going to be flying all over the place, and need to be taken several times a day to a big field where they can run in order to be happy," said Barbara Judson of Greyhound Friends for Life, a Bay Area organization dedicated to finding homes for retired racing greyhounds. "The reality is that they're couch potatoes."
Modest exercise needs aren't the only reason these dogs can make great pets, however "Greyhounds are very affectionate, very gentle dogs," Judson said. "They get along well with people and with other dogs, and are extremely sweet and quiet in the house. They shed very little, and need almost no grooming. They don't even have 'doggy odor.'"
Greyhounds aren't small dogs, but they're typically much calmer and quieter in the house than many small breeds of dog. Someone who wants a small dog because she lives in a small space, for instance, might find a tiny powerhouse like a Jack Russell terrier - think Eddie on "Frasier," or PBS' "Wishbone" -- appealing, only to discover this bred-to-the-bone working dog is much more likely to eat the sofa than sit on it while she unwinds after a long work day. Not so the greyhound, who is only too happy to unwind right along with her.
Greyhounds do take a little getting used to compared to more familiar pet dogs. They don't fetch, for instance.
"What they do is grab toys and fling them around and pounce on them over and over," said Judson. "When you come home, they'll dance around and act completely overjoyed to see you for a few minutes, and then go lie down on their bed and go back to sleep."
Although racing greyhounds have become more popular pets in the last few years -- there are now more of them in homes than on the track -- most people have never met one.
If you think a greyhound might be a good choice for you, take advantage of one of GFFL's "meet and greet" events, or a similar event held by one of the many greyhound adoption groups throughout the country.
Of course, Greyhounds, like all dogs, come in all kinds of personality types. Some are shy, and some are rowdy. Some are good with cats and small dogs, and many aren't. Some don't do well in a very active household, and some just decide that they'll go take a nap in the other room until things quiet down.
A good greyhound rescue group will help you make a match with a dog who is right for you and your family.
Keep in mind, this probably isn't the right breed for anyone looking for a dog to take on off-leash hikes, or who expects the dog to use an unfenced yard or potty area.
"Greyhounds have been bred for centuries to chase movement," said Judson. "They can see half a mile in the distance, and have great peripheral vision. You just can't train that instinct to chase anything that moves out of a greyhound."
Choose the dog, not the breed
The bottom line is this: Any one of the hundreds of dog breeds and mixed breeds could be a good or bad choice for you and your family.
Just be sure to ask yourself, as you wander the aisles of the local shelter or click around the Web looking for a dog, if you're choosing or rejecting a particular dog not because of who he is, but who you think he is.

TOWAMENCIN-With the proper training, a handful of volunteers can make a big difference for low-income residents across Montgomery County.
Exactly how big a difference they made was revealed Monday afternoon as the Montgomery County Asset Building Coalition revealed the results of its 2013 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.
'Our total federal refunds totaled $3.4 million; our state refunds were $950,000, so the total refunds to taxpayers were $4,360,000. That's a lot of money,' said Harriet Winokur, MCABC's coordinator.
'It gets better. Our services saved taxpayers approximately $675,000 in fees, which is not additional money into their pockets, but it's money that stays in their pockets - so the total benefit to taxpayers is over $5 million,' she said.
That benefit comes from free income tax preparation that volunteers provide for residents as part of the Internal Revenue Service's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. On Monday afternoon, Winokur reported to several dozen volunteers on last year's successes during a volunteer appreciation ceremony at the Sumneytown Pike headquarters of the North Penn United Way, one of the Coalition's partner agencies.
'We did over 2,700 tax returns, and the average client's AGI (adjusted gross income) was $19,600, which means that about half of our clients are living on $20,000 a year or less - that's a population that needs everything we can help them get,' she said.
The MCABC is a partnership of county agencies meant to help lead residents to financial stability through programs like VITA, which helps low-income residents find federal and state tax breaks they may qualify for. Taking that direct benefit total of $5.035 million and factoring in a standard multiplier of 1.58 to calculate the benefit seen from similar programs nationwide makes the benefit even bigger.
'Nationwide, for every dollar that somebody gets as a tax refund, $1.58 goes into the local economy,' Winokur said. Multiply the $5.035 million by that multiplier and the VITA program's economic impact to the county reaches $6.9 million.
Montgomery County Treasurer Jason Salas said not only was that good news for county taxpayers, it dovetails nicely with the efforts of his office to raise financial awareness, 'getting people the tax credits and refunds that they're due, and helping them to develop savings and investment plans. We're excited about the potential to grow this (program) in the years to come.'
During Monday's celebration, Winokur and representatives from various coalition members thanked each other for their help, and talked about how they were, in her words, 'happily shocked' to have far surpassed last year's totals of $3.23 million in refunds for more than 2,300 tax returns.
A breakdown of survey data gathered from VITA applicants showed details of where that money will go. Applications are roughly evenly split between the 20- 34, 35-49 and 50-64-year-old age brackets, with 53 percent of survey respondents identifying as Caucasian, 34 percent as African-American and the rest split among other categories.
Volunteer coordinator Ken Haubert, who helped taxpayers at the Norristown office of CADCOM, the Community Action Development Commission, shared his story of how an applicant from a war-torn African country fled to the area after her family members were killed and needed help.
'She had a single W-2, not even a bank account, and this lady was so grateful that someone would help her. At the end, she said, 'How much?', and I said $823 (in refund money) and she said 'No, how much for you?'' said Haubert.
'I said 'No, we do it for free. It's our joy to do it for you,' and the tears just came. Last year a paid agency charged her $200 for what took me minutes,' he said.
Sixty-five percent of those who filed VITA applications are single filers, as compared to only 13 percent who were married couples filing jointly, and data on where they would plan to spend refund money showed four clear top priorities: utility bills, food or clothing, savings, and rent or mortgage payments.
'Those top four are all necessities, and almost every single other option - education, medical expenses, transportation, child care - are too; none of those are, say, trips to Hawaii,' said Hillary Kane, director of the Philadelphia Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Development.
PHENND helped get volunteers in place for the program this year through a partnership with Bryn Mawr College, Kane said. Students who need service hours learn how to help taxpayers with their forms, and in the process learn how to look at their own finances more responsibly.
'Nobody's going to go to a seminar about how to prepare your own return, and not every (student) wants to work with kids, but if you see the difference this makes for someone, maybe you'll start to think 'I should look at my own credit history, too,'' said Kane.
She added that PHENND works throughout Montgomery and Delaware counties as well as Philadelphia, and said several colleges in the North Penn area have already been contacted about providing volunteers for the 2014 tax season.
Volunteer Nathan Rosenthal said he got involved in helping prepare tax forms three years ago because he likes the challenge of putting those puzzle pieces together, and said appointment dates for the Pottstown site where he helped file returns were full 'by mid-March; if you called in April we had to say 'Sorry, but call us earlier next year.''
Winokur said more volunteers could help meet that demand, and she is planning several volunteer outreach events to build that base this fall.

Caseworker was 'chased down street with butcher's knife and stabbed to death' during routine visit to client's home
Victim: Stephanie Ross, a 25-year-old health care caseworker, was stabbed to death by a client during a routine home visit
An inexperienced health care caseworker who visited a client at his home knew there was something that made her 'very uncomfortable' about the 53-year-old man, even writing in his file that two people should visit him in the future.
Yet 25-year-old Stephanie Ross went alone to Lucious Smith's apartment Monday morning, and police said the ex-con with a history of violence inexplicably chased her down the street, stabbing her to death with a butcher knife.
Ross' death underscored the dangers of in-home visits by social workers and health care professionals. Some states have added safeguards to prevent attacks, such as pairing them up with another worker for home visits or assigning a police escort, but the additional measures are sometimes too costly for states and private companies.
'It may be if the risk is too high you don't send two people out, you ask the client to come in or meet in a different place or postpone the visit,' said Tracy Whitaker, of the National Association of Social Workers. 'Unfortunately, the money gets found after there's a tragedy.'
Smith was being held without bail at the Pasco County jail on a first-degree murder charge. It is unclear whether he has an attorney.
Ross became a service coordinator for Maryland-based Integra Health Management in September and wanted to help people with chronic illnesses, the company said in a statement. She had been on the job for about a month when she first visited Smith in Dade City, a small city about 30 miles north of Tampa.
Afterward, Ross wrote about being 'very uncomfortable' with Smith, according to Dade City police officer Brian Uppercue, who said authorities reviewed the file. It's not clear why Ross went there by herself Monday or what his illness was.
Suspect: Lucious Smith, 53, is accused of chasing Smith down a street with a butcher's knife and stabbing her to death
Smith was well known to police. Authorities had received '50 or 60 calls' about him since 2006, ranging from trespassing to battery to drunken, disorderly behavior, Uppercue said. Neighbors said he argued with nearly everyone around him and was banned from a nearby convenience store.
'She faced a real danger dealing with this man,' Uppercue said. 'He was a disagreeable guy.'
He served seven years in prison for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and was released in 2005. Smith lived in an apartment complex with other people who had disabilities, said Victoria Farkus, 40, who lives across the street.
Farkus and her niece were home Monday when they heard someone screaming, 'Help me, help me, help me.' Farkus said she initially thought her Chihuahua had bitten someone, but looked out her window and saw Smith chasing Ross.
Smith stabbed Ross several times, Farkus said, and a motorist who happened to be driving by saw her bleeding and drove her to the hospital. Ross died a short while later.
'I'm still shook up,' said Farkus, giving an uneasy glance at Smith's apartment building. 'I don't think I'll ever be able to get that out of my head.'
Smith just sat outside his apartment after the stabbing, she said, and a few minutes later, police arrived.
'We knew right away that he was involved,' Uppercue said.
Ross worked at a central Florida high school before being hired at Integra, which says it provides 'a more integrated, collaborative and comprehensive approach to managing the health needs' of an insurance company's 'most costly and complex members.'
'This is an especially tragic loss,' Dee Brown, Integra's chief operating officer, said in a statement. 'Stephanie joined Integra to improve the lives of disadvantaged people struggling in the community with chronic illnesses, and believed strongly in our mission and goals in serving these individuals.'
Brown told the Lakeland Ledger that Ross visited Smith four times. Brown told the newspaper Integra staff members are trained that if they are ever concerned for their safety, they can have other staff accompany them on their visits. Brown wouldn't comment on Ross' specific case.
Advocates have long pressed for better security measures for social workers and home health caseworkers who are frequently sent into potentially dangerous situations. Some note that social workers go into homes armed only with clipboards and laptops.
In 2004, Teri Zenner was fatally attacked with a knife and chain saw while visiting a client in Overland Park, Kan., to make sure he was taking his medication. The attacker was later convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. In 2010, the state's governor signed a law requiring social workers to take six hours of safety awareness the first time they apply to have their license renewed.
In an email, Brown said the company was helping law enforcement.
'We take the safety and well-being of our employees very seriously and are committed to assuring ongoing compliance with existing safety practices and incorporation of measures that might further reduce avoidable risk to our employees,' Brown said.
