I haven't read it before. It is very very long and I only got part way through it before I found myself beginning to skip paragraphs. I understand her perspective though as many of her feelings I share as well. I'm no longer at the utter rage stage though. Not sure what changed but something did. I still have anger just not rage...

Video- The Clock Reached 0:00 For The Rangers
by Paul on 02/20/12 at 01:01 AM ET
Comments (10)
Rangers thought they had a goal at the end of the 2nd period, which would have made the score 3-1 New York Rangers over Columbus Blue Jackets.
Instead, the review went to Toronto and they claimed the period was over.
Note, this is the Columbus feed which shows 2 tenths of a second left, and the Rangers feed showed 1 tenth of a second left.
The official word from Toronto is they have the "official" clock in Toronto. That makes me wonder, if a penalty would have been called at the same time, would Toronto call New York and say no penalty, time had expired?
added 9:38am 2/20/12, Rangers broadcast video below….
Filed in: NHL Teams, Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Rangers, | KK Hockey | Permalink
I know the TV clocks they show on TV are not the official clock, but there has to be a way to make them official.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 02/20/12 at 01:06 AM ET
Well you can commit a penalty after the horn or whistle in said scenario.
The issue is the networks don't have access to the burned in clock on the screen. Anything they show is what they try to do on the fly and the videos (of the play and of the clock) aren't always synced up correctly. In this case the Columbus and New York feeds each showed a different time on the clock (MSG 0.1, FSNO 0.2).
Don't know why the networks don't have access to the official burned in image.
Posted by jkrdevil on 02/20/12 at 01:11 AM ET
via Larry Brooks tweet,
Sather was shown screen capture of official clock at 0.00 by personnel in Toronto on video review no-goal call re Del Zotto end of second.
Fine and dandy, but if you can't trust the clocks that are shown, don't put them up until they are official clocks.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 02/20/12 at 01:15 AM ET
Well ya see Paul those clocks are sophisticated instruments that calculate time by measuring electrical charges called coulombs — given the rapidity and volume of electrons that move through the measuring device the calibrator must adjust at certain points which was the delay you see. The delay is just recalibrating for the clock moving too quickly during the 10—10ths of a second before the delay. This insures that the actual playing time during a period is exactly 20 minutes.
"That is not an opinion -— that is science -— amazing device quite frankly)
Posted by Itrusteddrrahmani from Nyc by way of A2 on 02/20/12 at 01:54 AM ET
Note, this is the Columbus feed which shows 2 tenths of a second left, and the Rangers feed showed 1 tenth of a second left.
So there are three clocks going for one game; a home clock, a visitor clock and the official clock. That is an awful lot of electrons being measured for just one game. One would think that given today's technology that it would be possible to just have one clock instead of three.
Posted by UMFan from Denver, Colorado on 02/20/12 at 06:55 AM ET
I sure hope the "clocktroversies" end in time for the playoffs.
Posted by Rdwings28 on 02/20/12 at 10:27 AM ET
We forgot the fourth clock, the one that is kept by the on-ice offiical since a goal can be disallowed if he intended to blow the whistle. Therefore he can reset the official clock back to before the disallowed goal was scored. Does he call Toronto for this too? And who is doing the latency study to determine the time difference between the Toronto clock and the local clocks?
Posted by hockey1919 from mid-atlantic on 02/20/12 at 12:52 PM ET
How does the NFL handle their clocks? It's not like the NHL has to make this up from scratch.

That's it, I'm gonna start keeping time on my own!

Following in the footsteps of such guest stars as Bruce Boxleitner, Morgan Fairchild, Scott Bakula and Christopher Lloyd - just to name a few - two new guest stars have been confirmed for the returning season 4 of Chuck this fall.
The first one is actor Dolph Lundgren, of Rocky IV fame and the upcoming Sylvester Stallone extravaganza The Expendables.
In Chuck, the actor will play the role of Marko, who's both Russian and a terrifying bad guy to boot (seriously, when is he not? Lundgren is a badass!).
The second guest-star is Harry Dean Stanton (Alien, Big Love) who will play the role of someone named . . . . Harry Dean! A role that's described by Chuck co-creator Chris Fedak as: "the man who comes between Chuck and his search for Mom. Who is he exactly? Well, we'll say this: Only Harry Dean Stanton could play this part."
Could he play Chuck's grand-father? Is Harry Dean a spy? Will he be friend or foe? I really wonder. . . In any case, I'm psyched about the upcoming fourth season of Chuck. It's one of those shows I truly love with a passion.
Chuck is returning Monday, September 20th at 8pm on NBC.

The jokes just write themselves.
Via Opposing Views: The bizarre story of a man who died after trying to have sex with a donkey is circulating all over Middle Eastern news sites.
Lebanese website Beiruting recently reported that a Saudi Sheikh man died after attempting to sodomize a donkey. But other sites have picked it up as well. Reports say that the man tied the donkey to his car, took off his pants and attempted the have sex with the animal.
The donkey, however, was not about to let that happen, and allegedly, it proceeded to kick the Sheikh man in the face following by three strong kicks to the chest. The man fell to the ground and allegedly suffered for some time before dying next to the angry animal.
When police arrived, they reportedly discovered the man's body and were able to determine what had happened.
It's impossible to confirm this story's accuracy and it sounds really out there, but it's starting to pick up steam online. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Armstrong House
The Armstrong House in Britt, Iowa is a large Victorian house built in 1896 at a cost of $15,000 for Lewis Larson. The builder was John Victoria who built many of Britt's early large buildings, both residential and commercial. Mr. Larson, a Norwegian immigrant, eventually settled in Britt to become the president of the newly organized First National Bank.
Legend is that Larson told his contractor that he wanted a bigger house than the one built nearby for a Britt merchant in 1892. And so it came to be. While the earlier house featured one tower, the new home would have two.
Several rooms on the first and second floors have gingerbread mill work over the door ways and halls. Other features of the Armstrong House include rooms with ten foot ceilings, double pocket doors between the parlors and a fire place. Eleven stained glass windows are distributed in seven rooms. A grand staircase leads from the entrance foyer to the attic on the third floor. Wrap around porches are found both in the rear and the front of the house, each with two doors opening into the house.
On the second floor are three small outdoor balconies located on three sides of the house. The bedrooms have walk in closets and a cedar lines closet is located in the upstairs hallway.
The full basement has ample space for a large coal cellar to supply fuel for the huge forced air furnace and a large cistern to store rain water collected from the roof. This soft water was pumped to a tank in the attic where it was plumbed to the bathroom on the second floor. The basement also has room for a fruit cellar and laundry. A laundry chute extends from the bathroom on the second floor to the basement laundry area. On rainy days the laundry was hung in the attic to dry.
The Larson family arranged for Norwegian girls to immigrate to Iowa to work in the house. There were always two in service to do the domestic chores. These maids slept in a small bedroom at the back of the house. To facilitate their duties, a second stairway led from the kitchen to the second floor hallway, adjacent to the maids' room. From the bathroom across the hall the stairs continued on to the attic. In this way, their duties could be performed unnoticed while the Larson's entertained in the parlors. A butler's pantry between the kitchen and the dining room eased the serving of the meals.
When H.C. Armstrong bought Mr. Larson's interest in 1914, he also purchased the residence. The house remained in the Armstrong family until 1969 when it was presented to the Hancock County Historical Society for a museum. It is now furnished as much as possible with furniture and accessories from the late Victorian period. The house is repository for antiques from the citizens of the county and for a collection of early memoirs and local history.
The large attic features a small replica of a rural school and a small country church.

But according to the NY Times, it could be the next major trend for, you know, normal people. Advertisement Quaint to some eyes, or outright bizarre, steampunk fashion is compelling all the same. It is that rarity, a phenomenon with the potential to capture a wider audience, offering a genteel and disciplined alternative to both the slack look of hip-hop and the menacing spirit of goth.As soon as we see the cast of The Hills applying lipstick via a 20lb brass doohickey while wearing heavy leather gloves to stave off burns, we'll know steampunk has reached its potential as a cultural phenomenon.

Hong Kong Weather, climate and geography
Weather & climate
Hong Kong has a subtropical climate with four seasons, and weather strongly influenced by two monsoons: the north-northeast monsoon from October to March and the south-southwest monsoon from April to September.
Spring – from February to April – is warm and humid, with average temperatures of around 23°C (73°F). Weather is generally pleasant but the skies can be quite overcast. By summer, the humidity (around 80% is normal) and temperatures are higher. Heavy rain is a feature throughout the south-southwest monsoon, but particularly from June to August when thunderstorms are also common. Between July and September there is the risk of tropical cyclones, which come in from the South China Sea. There's a well-organised warning system in place, whereby winds are numbered 1, 3, 8, 9 or 10 – anything rated as an 8 or above is taken very seriously and means the closure of schools and businesses.
Autumn is, certainly in terms of climate, an excellent time to visit Hong Kong. Temperatures are pleasant both day and night, and humidity also falls. There's also less rain – average rainfall in October is 101mm (4.3 inches), compared to 328mm (12.9 inches) in September. Winter is even drier but can be surprisingly cold, particularly in the evenings: mostly between 15–20°C (59-68°F), although it can be higher than this, and sometimes the temperature dips as low as 10°C (50°F).
Overall, the best months to visit are the periods between the monsoons (March to April and October to November) when humidity is low, the skies are clear and the temperature is warm but not too hot. That said, there are plenty of indoor attractions in Hong Kong, so rain need not spoil a trip.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) consists of three main territories – Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories – plus more than 260 smaller (and mostly uninhabited) islands, located where the Pearl River meets the South China Sea. Both Kowloon and the New Territories are located on the Chinese mainland, separated from Hong Kong Island by the narrow Victoria Harbour. One of the world's deepest natural harbours, this has been key to Hong Kong's economic success.
The SAR is hilly, with land on Hong Kong Island rising to its highest point at Victoria Peak (552m/1,811ft); in the New Territories, the mountain of Tai Mo Shan reaches 957m (3,140ft). Much of the developed land on Hong Kong Island, most notably the northern areas such as Central – site of many of the city's best-known skyscrapers – is the product of reclamation projects. The same can be said of much of Kowloon on the other side of the harbour. The combination of hills and developed lowlands means that very little of the land within Hong Kong (only around 6% of the 1104 sq km/426 sq miles) is used for agriculture.

By Ashley Luthern, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
March 3, 2014
A study released Monday that followed up on a 1980s report about mandatory domestic violence arrest policies in Milwaukee found an increased death rate among victims when suspects were arrested, rather than merely warned, by police.
"The foundational question being begged by this research is an important and understudied one: Is the criminal justice system the best societal response to non-felonious domestic assault?" Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said Monday.
Researchers highlighted the findings that victims were 64% more likely to have died of all causes, such as heart disease, cancer or other illness, if their partner was arrested rather than warned, and noted that among African-American victims, arrest increased early mortality by 98% while white victims saw mortality increased from arrest by 9%.
Victim advocates in Wisconsin, however, described the study as "flawed" for attempting to apply old data to present-day policies.
"Thankfully for victims of domestic violence, we don't live in the 1980s anymore," representatives with End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin said in a written statement. "Twenty-five-year-old data cannot be used to conclude that domestic violence arrests are dangerous to victims."
Advocates also praised the state laws that mandate arrest on probable cause of misdemeanor domestic assault because they provide accountability.
"It says to victims and perpetrators that domestic violence is not acceptable and takes the initial burden off victims from being seen as holding abusers accountable themselves, which can also not be a safe state for a victim to be in," said Antonia A. Vann, chief executive of Asha Family Services in Milwaukee.
Follow-up to '80s study
The study was a follow-up to the Milwaukee Domestic Violence Experiment from 1987-1989 and undertaken by the same primary researcher, Lawrence W. Sherman, a University of Maryland professor and director of Cambridge University's Police Executive Program. The 2014 study was co-authored by Heather M. Harris from the University of Maryland and will be published in the Journal of Experimental Criminology.
Sherman acknowledged that a problem with examining long-term effects is that societies don't stay the same and conditions can change, but he said he hopes the research prompts more attention about whether these policies are good for victims and if so, which victims.
Flynn will join Sherman to present the findings Wednesday at the Society of Evidence-Based Policing in London. The original trial was funded by U.S. National Institute of Justice grants, and the follow-up study was funded by the University of Maryland.
The original study was based on a sampling of misdemeanor domestic violence assault cases in Milwaukee and a random outcome, either an arrest or a warning, of what happened to each suspect.
"I think we have to accept the facts as they are, rather than as we would like them to be and then to figure out where we go from here," Sherman said.
Those facts raise interesting questions but do not lead to clear conclusions, Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Research Center for Women & Families, a research and health policy institute, said Monday.
"The point is you can't conclude anything from these data," said Zuckerman, who has a doctorate in psychology. "It raises interesting questions, but it doesn't give you any answers. What you'd really want to look at is what's happening to the victims after their abuser is arrested that might make matters worse for them instead of better."
The research team plans to interview the surviving domestic violence victims and attempt to measure their post-traumatic stress levels to see if that might be associated with factors related to the mortality rate, Sherman said.
Researchers are following up with a similar sample in Charlotte, N.C., to see if the mortality results are comparable to those found in Milwaukee, he added.
It also would be useful to compare a mandatory arrest policy to one of a victim's preference policy — meaning the victim decides if the suspect is arrested or not, Sherman said.
Noting that many misdemeanor domestic violence charges are dismissed when a victim-witness fails to appear in court, Flynn said it's possible that victim preference is represented in the current system in the prosecution stage.
Like the victim advocates, Flynn also acknowledged how much has changed since the late 1980s.
Mandatory arrest "became the proxy by which society would now take notice of the issue of domestic violence," Flynn said, and since then, a "robust array of public and private services" have emerged to address domestic violence.
"It's dangerous to either overstate the meaning of research findings or to dismiss scientific review for being imperfect," Flynn said.

Centuries-Old Gutenberg Comes Up For Air
The New Haven Independent observed a rare moment:
A rare Bible came out of its case and time-traveled viewers back to the techie revolution ... of 1455. It was one of those hold-your-breath moments as the rare book emerged from its climate-controlled case Thursday at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
The rare occasion was part of a course on "Jews, Christians, and Renaissance Bibles" taught by Bruce Gordon, a professor of ecclesiastical history at Yale's Divinity School. Gordon was surrounded by an array of other Bibles in Latin, Hebrew, Greek, and varying polyglot combinations. He challenged his class to explore how an "authorized" notion of a text evolved over time.
There are lots of mysteries about the Gutenberg, Gordon said... Not a mystery was the beauty of the text, and its freshness on paper that seemed to gleam still after a mere 550 years.
"These books get you close to history," said doctoral student Brad Holden.
Asked which was the greater thrill, to be close to a 1623 folio of Shakespeare's works or a 1516 Bible, Beinecke Curator Kathryn James replied: "No one ever died for Shakespeare."

Not really specific to derby but I typically find it easier to store the file name as a string in the DB and use code to find the file on the file system. Dunno if that fits your requirements. Good luck.
the maximum size of a table is the maximum file size of the underlying operating system (e.g.: 2 GB).
For data with a size of 10 MB I would reach the limit with about 200 entries.
The data once in the table needs only be read (attachments of messages). Perhaps the new table function can be used to show the content of the filesystem as a table, when the attachments are stored outside of the database.
Is there a way to distribute a table over more than one file or another solution?
Any solution is appreciated!

text: HomeFilmNews As franchise exits, Soho scene is still strong Adam Dawtrey Share This Article LinkedIn Email Print Talk February 26, 2011 | 04:00AM PT London preps to gain visual effects business London vfx houses create wizardry Of all the magic performed by Harry Potter in the past decade, the growth charm cast upon the U.K.'s visual effects sector has been among the most dramatic. Under the spell of Warner's boy wizard, a few narrow streets in London's Soho have become a global capital for film vfx. With a guaranteed flow of work from the "Potter" franchise, London's four big post houses — Double Negative, Framestore, the Moving Picture Co. and Cinesite — have been able to develop the capacity and confidence to match the best Hollywood has to offer. But now Soho's vfx mavens are facing up to life after "Potter." In a business of crippling capital costs and tight profit margins, the question is whether they can they sustain their position at the cutting edge without the security of another $200 million episode of CGI-heavy wizardry every year. "There would be a contraction of our business if there was a contraction of production in the U.K., but there's no sign of that happening," argues Framestore CEO William Sargent. Adds Christian Roberton, MPC's managing director of film: "There is a challenge, and we'll rise to it. We have now reached critical mass. In Soho, you can consider us as one large facility broken up between multiple sites. The standard of work here is perceived as being world class, and the California companies are finding it hard to compete with us on cost. At MPC, we already have work booked until March 2013." Since the first Potter, the U.K.'s big four have expanded from around 350 staff to 3,000 worldwide — including their operations overseas. Most of these workers are based within a few minutes' walk of each other in Soho. It's the greatest concentration of top vfx talent anywhere in the world. Harry Potter wasn't solely responsible for this transformation. James Bond, Christopher Nolan and Ridley Scott have also provided a regular supply of high-end work, set to continue with Bond 23, "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Prometheus." But it was Potter's promise of seven (or as it turned out, eight) films, and Warner Bros.' determination to do as much post-production as possible in the U.K. to take full advantage of tax breaks, that originally gave London's vfx vendors the courage to make the massive investment in infrastructure, R&D and talent necessary to bring themselves up to the standard of world leaders such as ILM, Digital Domain, Sony Pictures Imageworks and Weta. One company topper estimates Warner Bros. has spent $150 million on British vfx across the eight Potter films. The franchise has provided nonstop employment for a decade, and triggered a virtuous circle of universities channelling some of their brightest computing and science graduates into the business. "Two words — 'credibility' and 'capacity' — sum up the impact of 'Harry Potter,' " Sargent says. "Without 'Potter,' we would not have had the growth. Before then, the nature of the U.K. film business gave us no confidence to spend $10 million. But now we can do six, seven or eight major studio movies in London in any 12-month period." Double Negative CEO Matt Holben calls the time before the Potter franchise started an "embryonic" time for vfx in London. "We were not even a speck on the horizon to California companies like ILM and Sony Imageworks. They were gods to us. We could only aspire to have the R&D teams and vast resources that they did." For the early movies, when London didn't have the capacity, Warners had to rely heavily on ILM, particularly for the most complex work, such as character animation. But for the last two films, the Potter producers finally felt able to do without ILM entirely. "It's a sign that we have reached critical mass that you can now do a whole 'Harry Potter' film in this country," Roberton notes. "Every year we've been challenged to raise our game and develop new visual effects. It has given us the confidence to go to the studios and guarantee that we can deliver to the same level as the California houses." Potter's success, combined with the U.K. tax credit, has led Warner Bros. to ramp up its U.K. production, and emboldened other studios such as Disney, Fox, Paramount and Universal to follow suit. Warner alone, though, has a glut of CGI-laden projects in various stages of production, including "Dark Shadows," "The Dark Knight Rises," "Jack the Giant Killer," "Wrath of the Titans," "Gravity" and "Sherlock Holmes 2." The studio's decision to convert its old "Potter" base at Leavesden into a permanent studio means this flow of work will continue. "It was after the first three 'Harry Potter' films that Hollywood really started taking notice of London," notes Antony Hunt, managing director of Cinesite. "Warner is not our biggest client now; Disney is." Hunt started out at the Mill, which was involved in the first two "Potter" pics but pulled out of film to concentrate on its more profitable commercials arm. Its exit shows that Soho's rise hasn't all been smooth sailing. The Mill's venture-capital owners didn't have the appetite for film's high risks and narrow margins. "The Mill exited at exactly the wrong time," Hunt says. "If they had dug deep and stuck in there for 'Prisoner of Azkaban,' (they would have done well)." Film vfx is a business that requires deep pockets, strong nerves and a long-term vision. Double Negative and Framestore are both owned by their managers. Cinesite is part of Kodak, and MPC is owned by Technicolor. "Staying competitive in visual effects gobbles up a huge amount of capital each year," Hunt says. "We spent over $8 million in the last year alone on internal infrastructure and to attract the best people, to accommodate the continual growth of visual effects and the move into 3D. We've doubled in size over the last 18 months." "Film is not an easy business to survive in," Holben agrees. "The margins aren't great, and we have to work really hard to make sure we have a good spread of projects with rolling delivery dates to iron out the lumpiness that exists in our business model." Double Negative has diversified by opening up in Singapore. MPC has set up shop in Bangalore and Vancouver. Framestore has dipped its toe into production, so far without much success, but will continue to invest in one or two projects a year, such as Neil Jordan's "Graveyard Book." Cinesite has experimented with developing its own TV shows. But their main priority is to take advantage of the expanding vfx demands of ever-bigger tentpoles, and to become ever more closely integrated into the creative process. "Thank God, the major studios don't see the U.K. as a risk any more," Hunt says. "Over time, they have seen that, given the opportunity, London can always respond in economies of scale, in price and in quality of work." Want to read more articles like this one?

My husband was reheating some food and heard a loud pow and the microwave was gone. Later that day I also noticed my microwave downstairs, as I do daycare downstairs, was also not functioning in any capacity. Would a power surge have caused this and would there be any specific part that may have blown? Related Models |

First, I'd like to mention that a microwave has a component called a high voltage capacitor. This component may store electricity even if the microwave is unplugged. If you do not know how to properly discharge a capacitor, do not attempt any repairs or troubleshooting of your microwave.
- Rectifier (diode) - Capacitor (if you decide to replace it as well) As for your other microwave, provide more details and the model number. Maybe the circuit breaker is tripped and the microwave is not getting any power. Try a different power outlet. Hope this helps. |
microwave blew up
The circuit breaker was not tripped and microwave would not operate anywhere. Does a microwave have a circuit board? My husband had to replace the circuit board on our garage board because the door kept going up and down on its own. He thinks maybe that may be what is wrong with the microwave. I followed the links for the capacitor and the diode which look like they will run about $100 to replace. Thanks for that input, but could you tell me if the microwave has a circuit board?

The other day Bowling Green coach Curt Miller said he was spending a lot of time doing interviews with national media. I wondered with whom, since I hadn't seen any recent articles.
Here is a pretty in-depth ESPN.com piece on the Falcons by Beth Mowins. Right now it's being featured as the centerpiece on the women's basketball home page. Ali Mann makes that same face in all of the photos, it's hilarious.
They are featuring BG as a team that could make a run in the tournament. There are quotes from the coaches of the two non-conference teams the Falcons lost to, Duke's Gail Goestenkors and Notre Dame's Muffett McGraw.
Some latest bracket projections:
CollegeRPI.com has BG as a 7 seed at the Michigan State site, playing South Florida (19-10).
Charlie Creme at ESPN.com puts the Falcons as a 6 seed, playing Texas (17-12) in Austin. (That's not fair.)
Can you tell I'm getting excited for postseason basketball? One week!

Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders |
Throat swelling09/13/2007 |
After eating dairy products my sons girlfriend experiences some swelling that makes it difficult for her to breathe. What could cause this? Sometimes she also has hives.
The symptoms you are describing are likely due to food allergies. A response to some foods can cause itching, swelling of the lips and throat, and difficulty breathing. An evaluation by an allergist and an Ear Nose and Throat physician would be highly recommended. Until then, complete avoidance of the offending food products is advised.

... we visited Gibraltar. We were really glad to have the opportunity to go but thought the place "tacky" and would not go again. Worth a visit for the experience. We saw some Barbary Apes and a cave which is used for concerts. We had some rain today but it was quite humid. The drive there and back was eerie in the mist and we saw many opulent houses on the way. Lots of duty free and British shops and F and C everywhere! We will be sorry to leave Ronda ...

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) _ An Enfield man has admitted in court that he sent threatening letters to the director of a Connecticut group that opposes same-sex marriage.
The Hartford Courant reports that Daniel Sarno pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in New Haven on Tuesday to two counts of mailing threatening communications. He targeted Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Durham said some letters contained threats. He was not specific.
Under federal sentencing guidelines, Sarno faces 10 to 16 months in prison.
Senior U.S. District Judge Ellen Bree Burns ordered the 53-year-old Sarno to report back to court Jan. 3 for sentencing and submit to a psychological evaluation.
Wolfgang thanked authorities for protecting him, his family and colleagues. He said opponents of same-sex marriage are increasingly being intimidated.

My complete fuelly log is available on my sig. You are more than willing to sift through 86 fuel ups :P
I installed the tune late Sept 2011. Yes it increases fuel economy in pretty much every condition other than steady state highway cruising. However, as I said before I am an automatic so I personally believe that is most of the gain.
Vermont tuning is putting out the better track numbers. However, the product and parts are flat out more $$$$$. I don't think you can go wrong with either tune honestly. However, most people prefer Trifecta because they focus on the driveability aspect and less on track performance. Being able to toggle between "Power" and "Eco" at the flip of a shifter is much more convenient. Furthermore, there is more vendor support available and more members on the site have Trifecta if you need any additional questions. Also, Vermont Tuning is using several internal modifications that will scream a "red flag" when service guys look in your engine bay. Although GM can technically find either tune, people will feel more comfortable leaving the evidence in the car's computer than being out in the open for anyone to see...

Well i figure i will try the vermont tune and see how it goes.I can look at data and see whats changed to a point.Maybe i could compare notes with someone here with the trifecta.There is no tell tale signs with the vermont tune under the hood.Provideing your only doing the tune.And anyone should remove the tune anyway if the engine check light is on.Before a trip to the dealer.As far as Opel involvement in the 1.4T engine.I just look as GM using Opels expertise to build the power plant and engine management system.Really not a bad idea.To me drive the Cruze it feels like it detuned to a point.I think a tune that can put out 20hp and 30lbTQ would make the car just perfect.
Response i received from Vermont related to tuning and Driveability
Yes, your Cruze will maintain the same mileage after the Stage 0 upgrade providing that you drive it conservatively or use the cruise control (if you get into the boost more it will use more fuel of course). We maintain the stock driving characteristics under light throttle inputs so you will not notice any unusual behavior, just more power on tap as your right foot asks for it. The tune is active in both the D and manual ranges. We can optimize the tuning for any grade fuel you wish to use - as a general rule of thumb on the 1.4T you will loose around 10hp for every 2 octane numbers below 93 that you use, ie 93 = 170hp, 91 = 160hp, 89 = 150hp. Peak torque of 180 lb/ft is still available with the lower grades of fuel, but it drops off sooner in the power band with lower octane.
We will download your original calibration and save it to the hand held and verify which release you have, so you can be sure that we use the latest software released for your Cruze and you can flash your exact original back to your Cruze anytime you wish. Yes, the calibration changes are essentially as you say (raising torque limiters and adjusting the boost calibration, in addition to fueling and ignition timing adjustments), though this is an extreme simplification of the process and there are many adjustments required. To give you an better idea - there are over 18,000 calibration parameters used to control your Cruze's 1.4T engine. We only need to adjust a small fraction of these to obtain the desired results, but you can better appreciate that the complexity a little by knowing how many parameters we must sort through and test to find what changes are required. Any engine control system can be distilled down to simple terms of air/spark/fuel, but modern engine management systems are vastly more complex than that would suggest (and getting more complex every year).
The ignition timing and boost pressure will be automatically reduced if any knock is detected, so peak power will be reduced with either the stock calibration or our Stage 0 calibrations when any knock is detected. For best performance I recommend matching the octane you use to the recommended octane we specify for your Stage 0 calibration. This will also maximize the margin of safety of your tune against detonation events rather than relying so extensively on the knock sensor signal output.
Just curious...I see you have listed that you have a K&N filter on there. Are the charge pipes clean? Re-oiled your filter lately? Some a thin film of oil can end up on the sensors along the way to engine if the filter over oiled a little bit. I would try MAF cleaner on all of them. Even if you don't over oil by accident I would still clean the MAF or other related sensors atleest once a year with MAF cleaner. Let us know if this takes care of the problem.

Sounds like standard boilerplate to me. When I dealt with VT while I was building the log visualizer and my tune problems, I got a similar response about 400+ data points that could be logged. They like to use numbers in their responses to enhance the credibility (see book: Art of Deception). All in all, both vendors bad mouthed the other and claimed the other wasn't competent because they don't understand XYZ. Sounds like the same thing you would get from Trifecta. Big deal. We still don't know what they changed.
I have not seen any bad mouthing or at least i have not found it here.What i do find interesting is one turns the boost up to 18 or 19 psi and the other runs 21 to 22 psi.The dyno sheets look simalair with the best graph going to vermont.

Round 4 kicked off last night with the Sydney Roosters overcoming traditional rivals South Sydney Ra...

Penrith Panthers fullback Rhys Wesser will be out to claim his first State of Origin jumper this year with confirmation that Brisbane's Darren Lockyer is no longer a threat.
A storm of controversy erupted over the selection of the Queensland team last year in which Wesser missed out on what most thought was a well deserved spot in the squad.
While Lockyer is one of the game's best fullbacks, critics have been calling upon coach Wayne Bennett to move him to five-eighth, where they believe he will be a better attacking weapon.
The pleas have finally been answered, with Lockyer to play in the number six jumper during Sunday's clash with the New Zealand Warriors at Suncorp Stadium.
On top of that, Queensland selectors say Lockyer will be considered at five-eighth for this year's Origin series, not at fullback.
"We'd like to think Darren will play five-eighth now at club and state level and for Australia," Gene Miles said.
"It's been a real problem position over the past three or four years, since Kevvie (Walters) left. But we'd like to think Darren is there for the long haul."
Last year, Clinton Schifcofske earned himself a spot in the squad ahead of Wesser when a spot opened up, but with a premiership behind him and plenty of records in his pocket, the Panthers flyer is now in with a huge chance.
Meanwhile, Panthers captain Craig Gower says the feeling around Penrith is positive heading into Friday night's season opener against Newcastle.
"It means a lot to us to know that the community is behind us," Gower said at an official function this week.
"Last week we had a huge fan night ? more than two thousand fans turned up. That was probably the biggest supporters? gathering we?ve had in my time at Penrith and it was a boost to us just as the season is about to start.
"Knowing that Penrith was behind us certainly helped us last year ? and it was great to be able to return something to the community ? a Premiership. We?ll be out there again this year trying to do you proud."

The title of Sam Kashner's new book. In 1975, he found out that Kerouac had just started a new college, the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, in Boulder, Colorado. Kashner was a 19-year-old kid who lived on Long Island and worshipped the leaders of the Beat generation.
In his book, he writes, "Most of all, I wanted to be in the picture… the photograph in front of City Lights Bookstore of Allen Ginsburg, Peter Orlovsky, and Neal Cassady. They had their arms around each other. They looked happy."
By some miracle of persuasion, Kashner persuaded his parents to pay for him to attend the Kerouac School. His acceptance postcard from Ginsburg, one of the faculty members, read, "I look forward to meeting you. I hope you can type. Sincerely yours, A. Ginsburg."
It turned out that Kashner was not only the first student to sign up to attend – he was the only one. From the moment he arrived, he was bamboozled, ignored, and taken advantage of.
Allen Ginsberg put him to work typing poems and helping out his lover, Peter Orlovsky. He also made it clear he was sexually attracted to Kashner. Writes Kashner, "I spent a lot of time in front in front of the mirror before I went over to Allen's because I noticed that the better looking you were, the more Allen liked your poems."
Ginsburg once said to him, "You're a sweet boy. So unborn." Then there was the time Ginsberg's Buddhism instructor required him to abandon vanity and shave off his beard. Kashner, in his role as housekeeper, found the beard in a cigar box.
Another Kashner assignment was trying to keep Gregory Corso clean, sober, and productive, a nearly impossible task. Corso was a wild man by trade, juggling drugs, drink, children, wives, and sex partners. Corso liked to threaten, extort, and kidnap Kashner, who nevertheless treats the poet with the utmost affection. Kashner recalls Corso telling him, "We're just old men, soon to poof into the air."
Then Kashner was introduced to William Burroughs, who spent the summer idly looking on as his only son Billy tried to drink himself to death. Billy's diet consisted primarily of of Lucky Charms cereal because the marshmallows were easy to chew. Meanwhile, Burroughs senior contemplated a Martian invasion of the Midwest and taught a course about imaginary maps.
At one point, Kashner realized that some of the female poetry admirers in his midst were also hookers. "You must be here on one of those 'born yesterday' scholarships the Jack Kerouac School gives out," the younger Burroughs told him.
Billy Burroughs, who had a decidedly unromantic view of his father and the rest of the Kerouac faculty, said to Kashner, "They stood in front of a cracked mirror, Sam, and they fell in love with that cracked image. They'll just stare at it until they die."
