I'm going crazy. Spent 2 full days on this now.
Not sure how much more i can take...
I think my daughter must have gotten on the pc at some point before screensaver logged me off and went about her business online.
Their accounts are not admin.
I was relying on MS security essentials on one pc she may have used and 2 others she didn't, avast on 2 others 1 she may have used.
So she could have touched 2 on my login, only 1 has Avast on it. I have 5 in all and all seem to be getting popups.
The popups are for adcash.net, jdjzz.playnow.dollfield.eu, onclickads.net, appimat.com, geolocations.net, maybe some others I haven't taken note of.
Some of the pages go straight and download a file immediately without prompting. This file was detected by kaspersky and later avast, but as far as i know was never executed.
Attached a pic of the dollfield page.
In my usual haphazard not taking any notes fashion I threw everything I could think of at the problem.
Trusty Malwarebytes scan was negative.
Avast scan negative, superantispyware negative, spybot negative, kaspersky rootkit scan negative.
It was still happening so I downloaded YAC (yet another cleaner) and Hitman, both did nothing but detect a few false positives and Hitman flagged all YAC's signatures...
Still got popups.
Tried kaspersky rescue cd scan and that was the first time I remember something detecting that executable named 'flashplayer.exe'. As I said I wasn't paying attention earlier.
Rebooted. Now I was looking for trouble. Went on bing and clicked on the news links, clicking clicking any link that wasn't clearly an ad, stuff like the 'Contact' links and About us etc...
Popups. All browsers, wtf.
I figured ok, it must be a damn extension propagating through firefox/chrome sync and maybe via Win 8.1 settings sync. I had already gone through disabling all addons/extensions/plugins. YAC said 'Java SSV' looked suspicious so I deleted that one along with some others.
Still popups.
Ok to heck with it I put in the Windows install cd, formatted the drive and reinstalled fresh.
From this point on making a point to NOT sync any settings through chrome or firefox. Went looking for trouble again on bing/msn.
Still popups by golly.
Reinstall Windows 8.1, logon with my hotmail as it advises, didn't allow it to restore settings from another pc as I had previously.
Nuke time. Used Samsung 'secure erase' cd to erase the ssd since Hiren boot cd utility couldn't detect it for some reason.
On reinstall I unplugged the network cable and did not use my hotmail to create account.
Did NOT install chrome, firefox, or anything, just right out the door got on IE looking for trouble. All seemed to be fine but I had been fooled before.
I wasn't getting popups on all sites as I seemed to remember, can I remember? Not really, not the before-time. But still popups every once in awhile.
Maybe it's just certain sites? This site in particular was reliably a popupper, canadajournal.net/entertainment/mos-def-barred-from-returning-to-us-cancels-tour-8580-2014'
If you click on the center pic of mos def behind bars a popup every time.
It just must be some sites no way anything could have stuck around I had erased the boot sector and disconnected all other drives, during the install it was just the cd, ssd, and me.
Things seemed to be ok, must have been my imagination silly me, went ahead and connected account to my hotmail login and starting installing apps and so forth.
First thing I installed was avast and malwarebytes, did a scan, nada. Good to go. I installed chrome and firefox, being vewy careful this time disabled java in chrome and IE, and first off installed Web Of Trust and enabled that and the Avast addon/extensions.
But I couldn't leave well enough alone went looking for trouble again. avast/wot/java disable successfully blocking the ad site popups from loading, but the canadajournal site still giving me the popup hmmm.
It's just that site, can't be me.
Went to install my trusty roboform and clicked the download link on the roboform site (not the cnet, direct from roboform). ADCASH.NET .... GETLOCATION.NET ... WHY GOD WHY?
No way Siber Systems site would have a friggin ad script in their site right?
WHERE IS THIS SCRIPT COMING FROM I STILL HAVEN'T SYNCED MY FIREFOX/CHROME SETTINGS AND NOT INSTALLED ANY ADDONS??? I did use Ninite to batch-install the usual bunch, foxit, filezilla, etc...
So now I'm just loving life and I guess I don't care anymore HAHA I might as well go LICK A DoOrKnOb aT A CoMmUnItY CeNtEr and order up A LiFETIME sUpPlY Of VAlTREX froM An ONlInE PhArMaCy.
Silly script how did you get there? Why do you keep coming back do you love me?
Mezmerized at the roboform site I start examining every bit of html and do you know what? I went to the debug window and found this little gem:
- Code: Select all
'adcash': function() { var adcash = document.createElement('script'); adcash.type = 'text/javascript'; adcash.src = 'http://www.adcash.com/script/java.php?option=rotateur&r=274944'; document.body.appendChild(adcash); }, '1896743': function() { exoUrl = 'http://geolocations.net'; cookieName = 'splashWeb-896743'; exopop.init();
So how did it get there? IS IT JUST THe Sites? The bad lazy Sites that didn't update their Apache or something? Or did it get appended/injected by some Greasemonkey-like malware thing? Because I know these addons they revise the page and add their little functions and you have no clue is it there? Is it not there? My imagination? Am I just crazy?
How can I know where that friggin bit of script is coming from? Me or the site? I would get on another pc to check but ALL 5 PC'S IN THE HOUSE SEEM TO BE DOING IT.
I would go order 5 textbooks and read up until I knew enough to make my own web browser that would just tell you whether it was the site or it was you. And it would take all the addons/extensions/plugins/ and handy sync things it could find down to the basement and drown them in an iron washtub, but I have to work and stuff.
Thank you for listening.

As if I needed more restricting bars in my life. Now they've even taken away my view. Stupid construction workers.
My thesis? Going nowhere. Very disappointed in my supervisor. He's not emailing me back. I've been thoroughly slacking in the secondary lit department too, since I neglected to go and pick up the books I ordered from the library. I'm lost at the moment, trying to figure out what the hell my thesis should be about anyway... One of those days, indeed.
My health? Down the drain... I'm trying to eat healthier, excercise, get fresh air, you know, the works.. And I seem to feel worse every day. Might have something to do with the previous point. And a lack of sleep.
My house? A mess. No, seriously. You should see my desk. In fact, I'll show you a sneak peek.
See? Like something ate a whole lot of paperwork and went SPLLOOOOIEEEE all over my desk. (Yep, that's my breakfast. I had nothing else to drink...)
My crochet-work? Has been a bit meh. I've made a number of those hexagons, and this.
Not my best work. But this is more of a prototype anyway, I think I might try this again with some pretty beads. The concept is so simple, there must be something nice I can do with it to make it actually wearable. And yes, indeedy, that's indeed the same cotton yarn I used for the hexagons. That's how I roll.. I think of stuff to do, keep some yarn near by, and go for it. And then return to the previous project to find out that my outbursts of sudden crocheting has cost me so much yarn that I can't finish that project.
My cooking? I've been on a bread-making groove these past few weeks. Results have varied, but last week I made my best work so far: yummie homemade focaccia bread! Here's how my dinner that night looked:
(my sincerest apologies for the fuzzy picture. I was hungry.)
I made cajun chicken (simply take some chicken breasts, pound 'em up a bit so they're nice and flat-ish and easy to cook up, and put a hell of a lot of cajun spices all over 'em. Really lay it on. It's heavenly. Really.), cut it up in little strips, then put pesto, chicken, tomato, basil leaves and mozarella on the baked focaccia and put them back in the oven for 3 minutes, while eating the last bits of chicken that didn't fit on the two loaves anymore. Awesome. Divine. Making me hungry just thinking of it. Might try it next time with some baby spinach or lettuce after it comes out of the oven the second time, for a green touch. And I need to find a way to make my herbs and salt stick on top of the loaves better, it kept falling right off when we cut open the loaves (or, when the boyfriend cut open the loaves while I stood by watching. Those things were hot.)
So yeah. Now you know what I've been up to since the last post. Now if you'll excuse me, I think that's a mountain of laundry I hear calling my name. *sigh*

The drivetrain is the system of chain and cogs that transmits power from the cranks to your back wheel. The drivetrain wears like any other part and if you ride regularly it will need replacing at some point. A full drivetrain replacement is a decent-sized job that is often required after about 5000km of riding but there are ways to extend the life of these parts.
What comprises the drivetrain?
Often misheard as drivechain, the word drivetrain comes from automotive mechanics where it is used to describe all of the components between the engine and the driven wheels. It does the job of transferring power from the engine to the wheels. The bicycle equivalent is essentially the same. It is the parts between the rider and the wheel that transmit power from the riders legs to the rear wheel. These parts are the cogs on the crankset (known as chainrings), the cogs on the rear wheel (known either as the freewheel or cassette) and the chain that runs on both of them. Often the chainrings are separate pieces that can be removed individually from the cranks, but sometimes they are peened together into one piece. Freewheels and cassettes are both complete stacks of cogs which are replaced as a whole. Freewheels are an older style that has the freewheel mechanism (that allows you stop pedaling while coasting) built in, where cassettes are a newer style that slides onto a freewheel mechanism that is built into the hub.
How does a drivetrain wear out?
All of the parts of a drivetrain are metal and as they move against each other they create friction which wears their surfaces. The chain wears against the inside edges of the teeth on the cogs and each of the moving parts of the chain wears against adjoining parts of the chain. As the chain wears internally with each rotation, it effectively elongates-the distance between each of the chain pins increases ever so slightly. As the chain elongates, it no longer sits perfectly between the teeth and starts to ride up higher and higher on the edge of the teeth. This accelerates the wearing of the teeth as the chain is now grinding onto and off of them as you pedal.
If you catch the wear of the chain at the point at which it starts to accelerate the wear on the cogs, you are often able to replace just the chain with no ill effect. Leave it longer and the cogs will be worn to a point that a new chain will no longer mesh well with them. The greater the number of teeth on a cog, the better the load is spread and the longer the cog is likely to last. Hence, chainrings typically last longer than the cogs on the cassette.
The wearing of both chain and cogs isn't very noticeable initially as the wearing of the cogs opens up the gap between the teeth so the elongated chain can still sit in place. Eventually though, the chain gets really worn and it will ride so high on the edge of each progressive tooth that it will sit right on top of a tooth and then clunk down into place on the other side, skipping a gap altogether. This skipping is most likely to happen under load which, in practice, means at the least convenient times. Like when taking off from the lights or getting out of the saddle to pedal hard up a hill. It will jolt you forward and can result in an accident. A well maintained bike will never experience this. A bike that isn't serviced at all might do this after 2 or 3 years, depending on many factors.
What does a drivetrain cost?
Drivetrain components vary widely in quality, weight and cost. For a typical commuter bike the chain and cassette are likely to be $45 each (give or take) and the chainrings could be anywhere from $25 to $150 with most averaging about $50. The work itself is rarely done in isolation and is usually part of a service or overhaul which is between $90 and $180 in labour. With a few other parts such as brake pads and cables it can easily turn into a $300 job.
How long should a drivetrain last?
This is a difficult question to answer as there are so many factors influencing the life of a drivetrain. These include condition, cleanliness, lubrication, range of gears used, pedaling style and quality of components. A chain is likely to last anywhere from 2000km – 5000km. Catch it at this point and you might be able to replace it for another 2000km – 5000km on the same cogs. Leave it longer and you're likely to be up for a whole new drivetrain. Someone who rides 5km each way to work, 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year, can easily clock up 2500km a year just in commuting. On a 9 or 10 speed geared bike, that sort of person is likely to wear through a chain in a year or potentially even less. If left unchecked, it might not be problematic for twice as long, excepting a slow deterioration in shifting (because the chain is less stiff laterally).
What can be done to increase the life of a drivetrain?
The life of a drivetrain can be increased by keeping it clean, lubricated and staying on top of chain wear. These are all things you can do yourself and to varying degrees.
To properly clean a drivetrain we remove it from the bike and wash it out in a special microbial wash that eats away at the oil and muck all over it. This is something we will sometime recommend as part of a service to maximise the life of your drivetrain. In the old days, people used solvents such as kerosene to achieve the same outcome. Kerosene works fine but is pretty nasty to use daily and for the environment, so we have spent the big dollars on a microbial wash set up. At home, something as simple as wiping down your chain with a rag and maybe digging out some of the larger pieces of gunk from around the cogs and derailleur pulleys can help without requiring removal or solvents. Cleaning the drivetrain removes particles of dirt and sand which can wear the metal components at a rate even faster than if they were dry.
Lubricating your drivetrain with chain oil reduces the friction between the metal parts, which in turn reduces the wear. Unlike a car, your bikes drivetrain is all exposed to the elements which means the lubricant (chain oil) can be washed off if ridden in the rain. Cars have casings around chains and cogs and circulate large volumes of heavy oil through them to make sure they stay lubricated. On a bicycle, there is no such system so you need to regularly reapply chain lube, and more so if you ride in the rain. Chain oils are light to penetrate the chain and contain additives to help them stick around longer. The goal is to get the lube inside each of the chain links where it can reduce friction inside the chain. Too much on the outside will only serve to attract the dirt and sand you've wiped off. Thicker oils are sometimes used in winter when rain is more likely. These are not too thick though, as the drivetrain on a bike is not moving fast enough to heat up and thin the oil like it does in a car. Provided it is kept oiled, a chain will not rust too. Components that are left to rust will wear at an increased rate as the rust (Iron Oxide) is more brittle than the original steel and chips off more easily.
Staying on top of chain wear can result in only needing to replace the chain and clean the (not-too-worn) cogs. It is not unusual to get 2 or 3 chains to a cassette and 2 cassettes to a set of chainrings. A new chain can often be fitted to lightly used cogs, but new cogs will never mesh well with a worn (and elongated) chain. A new chain on old cogs will feel really rough under pedaling. An old chain on new cogs will be even more likely to skip than it was with the old cogs. To measure the wear on a chain we have tools which do it quickly, but it can be done with no more than a steel rule if you're careful. We are happy to check a chain anytime you'd like to roll it in.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kissdbygod01 from What are you thinking Fluke? I run a Troubleshooting crew, that continually relies on fluke qaulity so accuracy is to the extreme importance. We bought two sets of the TL71 leads 2 days ago.... and now both sets are giving inconsistent readings. What in the world are you thinking Fluke?

Rated 1 out of 5 by TL71_sad from Changed from Silicone to (what smells like) rubber I just purchased a set of TL71 leads for a new meter. In the past these have been a good quality silicone rubber lead. For the same price, I get a stinky rubber smelling set of leads. Comparing them to an older set of TL71 the feel is different. If you are going to change the form of a product please change the part number. Especially if it is to cost reduce what was a premium option. (And if it says silicone insulated right on Fluke.com's web page).

Rated 2 out of 5 by Rubberboot from Black lead failed The meter itself is pretty amazing but the quality of the test leads is very poor. I bought the meter new and noticed the lead was slightly warped but I thought "no problem". Well, today I was testing a circuit and was getting no reading. After a bit of diagnosis I realized that the black lead had broken in the handle. Now I have never tugged on it. I am very careful with my equipment and I only use it at home in my hamshack. I have to say that I was disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JBKerner from Great meter probes! I'm surprised at all the negative comments on the Fluke website! I've been using Fluke meter & test leads since the mid-70s. Probes are used A LOT, and get more strain than most people think. That said, after nearly 50 years as both a Technician & an Engineer, I've had exactly ONE set of Fluke leads fail, and that was after nearly 25 years of service! Other manufacturers leads fail constantly, but Fluke's last a long time; they're also some of the most expensive on the market, but I guess you get what you pay for!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Nicky Nicky from Not a good look for fluke After many years of trusting this brand, I can no longer say Fluke is the best. I am switching to Klein tools, very disappointed! I have a Fluke 87 IV, very expensive!!! Paid a lot of money for this meter and after three weeks of use, the leads broke. Fluke you guys need to listen to these customers and change your ways otherwise you're going to go bankrupt. I wasted a lot of money on a new pair... now my fluke 87 just sits on my tool box... very aggravating and annoying

Rated 1 out of 5 by AmTech from Poor quality I purchased a set of these TL71 leads and they failed after 2 days. The positive banana plug is stuck in the meter, I did not put any strain on the leads. I'm surprised at this since I own several Fluke meters with various lead sets and I've never had a problem before.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Seamus_Mack from Poor quality I've seen the bad reviews on these before purchase and said let me give it a shot....I had an old pair of fluke leads that I lost...bought these to replace them. 2nd day my red lead bent after applying small pressure..3rd day I got back Feed from testing a modulating gas valve...I'm so disappointed I can't even begin to explain. I'm going to buy the standard set and hope for the best. If not buy a used older fluke pair like the ones I had...never failed me..after being used and abused...I love or should say (loved) Fluke products..always preferred

How Much Training Should Your Dog Get?
If you have never really seen how dogs are trained for yourself, you might have the wrong idea as to how much canines are actually taught. Just for clarification, there are different levels of training given to dogs depending on what the owner is trying to achieve. It's similar to how there are different Amsterdam Canal Tour experiences depending on what you are going for.
So, just in case you were wondering how much training your dog should get, the short answer is that it's up to you. You could settle for your dogs simply being housetrained, in that they will no longer pee or poop inside the house, as well as chew your shoes. You could also have your dogs trained to the point where you can give them very specific commands and they'll respond without hesitation.
Up To You
For the most part, how much training your dog gets is really up to your preference. If you want your dog to be the stalwart guardian of your domain that is only mentioned in myths, you can certainly make that happen.
Though, you should expect there to be some sacrifices, such as the playfulness of your pooch. On the other hand, if all you really want is to make sure that you don't come home to a messy house, this should not be a problem.
As Necessity Dictates
There are also times when the level of training that your dog gets is not up to you anymore. Depending on the situation with your dog, more high level training might be necessary, if only to make sure that you can actually handle it.
This is affected by several things, including whether or not the dog was adopted, your experience, the dog's breed, its size, and its temperament.
Building On The Foundation
If you decide to go for just basic training with your dog, you can always build on that later when engaging in more training. It's how you can get Amsterdam Hotels Cheap and upgrade later if you want. If your dog needs more training, just give it more training.

So while all this crazy stuff was going on, I decided it was the perfect timing to get around to making a laptop case for my new laptop. From scratch. And without a sewing machine at home. I did take textiles in high school, but everything we learned there was with a sewing machine and patterns with all the tools we needed provided to us on a silver platter. So what was I thinking? I don't even know. Anyways, so I went to Dressew, got all the materials (and some studs and embroidery thread for decorating) and found a tutorial online (stitchedbycrystal.com/2012/01/tutorial-zippered-laptop-case.html). And VOILA. Here is my beautiful baby, 100% handsewn. I was very impressed with myself to say the least, that I could hand sew something like this, sewing straight lines and all without a pattern or anything.
It's not perfect by any means, but I'm more than satisfied. The process wasn't easy and many times I would think that it's just going to end not nothing like what I imagined in my head. But it did. Like how we may not be perfect, we can still become someone that we can be proud of. It's okay to have out-of-place stitches. It's okay to have little bumps here and there. It's okay to be tad small. But the biggest lesson I learned was how fortunate we are to live in this time and place. 2016, the year where technology just keeps on booming. It seems like such a feat to hand sew this for me but back then, sewing machines didn't even exist! Imagine a world without computers, without TV, without cars. It blows my mind how people would do everything by hand. Technology is amazing no doubt, but it makes me wonder how much we lack because of it. The skills and abilities that our ancestors had, their hard work and diligence. Wow. If I lived in their world, I wouldn't be able to survive. Or maybe the wish to survive would be even greater. I'll never be able to find that out, or I hope not to. But I just feel so appreciative, of the advancements we have in this world. We think life is hard, but that's without having to do everything by hand and living to survive. We live to enjoy and often forget that.

Our world has a population of 7 billion people, covering the length and breadth of the globe. While almost 99% of us are anonymous, a handful of the total population actually gets that recognition, which all of us are striving to achieve. These handful of people are master of their field, dedicated, hardworking and talented. One among them is the ever-famous Michael Schumacher, the former Formula 1 champion who is now struggling for life in his hometown after a suffering a tragic accident in skiing.
Michael Schumacher won the maximum number of world championships (7 to be precise) in his career, racing in one of the most dreaded sports in the history of mankind, which has taken more lives and caused severe injuries to a number of people more than any other sports probably. But as much as Formula 1 is dangerous, it was enough generous to make Schumacher the highest earning sports person ever during his peak. The earning included race fees, winning amount, sponsorships and much more.
His insatiable desire for success took him to seven world titles before and he became one of the most successful drivers of all time. His domination of the sport in the 2000s was remarkable. His natural ability, sheer determination and hold on political arena proved to be the perfect combination for success in F1. Michael Schumacher's journey is a lesson in itself, starting from 1991 till 2012, his 21 years in F1 had been full of drama and helped F1 become one of the most loved sports around the globe. It wouldn't be wrong to say the Michael Schumacher is the biggest ambassador of the sports.
Michael Schumacher used to do Kart racing before his first stint as a world champion in Formula 3 in 1990. He then won the sportscar championship with Mercedes and F3000 in 1991. This gave him enough limelight to feature as an F1 driver for the first time with Jordan in the same year, followed by a deal with Benetton to drive in 1992 for the full season, giving a cold shoulder to Jordan team. Though the 1992 was not much of a success, he won his first race in the 1993 season and by 1994, he was the world champion racing foe Benetton.
While the 1994 season saw much of a controversy for the title, it seemed like there was no stopping for this German racer as he won a back-to-back championship title in 1995, beating Hill again but this time without the controversy. 1995 marked the end of Schumacher-Benetton collaboration which lasted for 3 seasons and he moved to the Ferrari, which nobody predicted would change the dynamics of the F1 forever. Although it took almost 5 years to reach the pinnacle that created a stir in the motorsports, the tri-collaboration of Ferrari, Todt and Schumacher is regarded as the best till yet.
The first title win for the Prancing Horse with Shumi came in 2000, followed by consecutive wins in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, setting a record which is yet to be broken. In the process to establish new record, he set a new record for the most number of race wins in a single season -13 in 2004 title win. His demi-god status in F1 came to end when in 2005, he finished third after Ferrari's tyre supplier Bridgestone struggled with new regulations. Again in 2006 he came close to the title, but was beaten by Fernando Alonso.
Michael Schumacher finally realized that his time as a legend is over and he decided to quit in 2007, announcing his retirement with an emotional atmosphere in Monza. But he was in no mood to part ways from racing in any way and he became a trackside consultant at Ferrari the next year and started racing motorbikes as a hobby. After a slot opening with Ferrari in 2009, he returned to F1 again, leaving everyone in shock, only to stop racing again after a tragic motorbike accident that forced doctors to warn him against making a return.
But, Schumacher being Schumacher, he struck a 3-year deal with team Mercedes to return again in the 2010 season. But the return proved no good for either Mercedes or Schumacher as he failed to compete even against his team-mate and county-mate Nico Rosberg. The same continued for the next year and he couldn't make it to the podium for a single time for two continues years in line. And the criticism started flowing in for his return at the F1. Many stated his return as a new career low in his long standing list of achievements.
The final year of his contract finally gave Schumacher the podium finish, not one but two. Although Rosberg stole the coverage away from Schumacher, Schumacher was busy in retiring more often than ever, either of mechanical failures or driver error. But Schumacher decided to retire for good finally, after the 2012 season. Though the last few years of Schumacher were not as good as the early years and mid-years, he remains by far the most decorated drivers of all time.
As much as Schumacher had won races, so did he created controversies whenever he raced. His career lasted from 1991-2012 and we saw him in peak from 1993 to 2006 when he was close to being the complete package as a racing driver. But his over zealous nature to be the best made him resort to some of the unfair means. Starting from 1994 when he won his first championship to 2006 when he blocked the track at Monaco during a qualifying session in order to try and take pole, he was in news for both right and wrong reasons. In 2010 he also came under fire when he squeezed ex-Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello against the Hungaroring pit wall at 290 kmph.
But Schumacher was not like any other F1 driver of his time, or the time before him, or the time after him. He turned down the opportunity to play football in the UEFA Champions League, having been offered the chance to play for San Marino champions SS Murata in the opening round of the 2008 competition. He was an ardent motorcycling fan and started racing professionally and so did he loved the adventure sports so much that he is bed-ridden due to much such adrenaline rushing activity.
Michael Schumacher is struggling for his life for almost a year now at his home in Switzerland after he woke up from a long Coma for six months with left many wondering, if he could ever make it back. Schumacher has inspired a lot of youngsters and now champions for taking up F1 as a profession. One among them is Sebastian Vettel, his fellow countrymen who won straight 4 titles for Red-Bull from 2010-2013. We pray that Schumacher recovers soon and come to F1 circuit in any-role possible.

Supercars: The 'Wow' Facts For Winton
And The Not So Wows...
Stock the fridge, we're all set for another wild weekend of Supercars action and this time it's in the heartland of Victoria at Winton Raceway.
If form is anything to go by, then Scott McLaughlin will again be the man to beat as the Shell V-Power racing star and Championship favourite tries to extend his 4 race winning streak
With a helping hand from the number crunchers at Supercars.com, let's take a peek at the racing ahead and see if some of the numbers are on his side at the Winton SuperSprint.
1. Winton's longevity is unquestioned, this will be the 31st time the series has visited the humble race track near Benalla since we first went racing in 1985.
2. Scott McLaughlin's hot streak (mentioned above) is a first for him, but his team managed 4 in a row when James Courtney won the Championship in 2010 - and two races at Winton.
3. Winton's a mixed bag as far as results go with the track producing 9 different winners from 13 individual races since the 'Car of the Future' era began in 2013.
4. Holden driver Lee Holdsworth will wear the #400 on his window to celebrate his 400th race start on Sunday.
5. Michael Caruso's also keeping count, making his 150th start in the Nissan Motorsport Altima.
6. It's almost a given that Ford will snare pole position, they've scored six of the last seven ARMOR ALL Pole Positions at Winton.
7. If you're piloting a stopwatch this weekend, the closest finish to beat is the 0.1681 seconds Jason Bargwanna was able to edge Paul "The Rat" Radisich out with in 2000.
8. Safety Cars get a good workout at Winton - the last time they haven't been used here was in 1999 - let's hope they don't lose the keys!
Can anyone stop this man?
9. It's a 158 point lead Scott McLaughlin will take into this weekend's racing - more than any margin a driver led by during the course of last year's Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.
10. They might've long since retired but Glenn Seton and John Bowe can still boast about having the most wins by a driver at Winton, with five each.
Practice for the Winton SuperSprint starts on Friday.

Old, grizzled veterans of the browser wars (Blood! Honour! W3C Standards!) will remember OmniWeb, an expensive, Mac-only überbrowser that always seemed to be slightly ahead of everyone else. Well, it's free now.
A little background: OmniWeb is based on a slightly modified version of WebKit, but used to differentiate itself from other browsers with novel features. Ad blocking, tab previews, saved browsing sessions, inbuilt RSS reading, single-windows browsing and per-site preferences could once justify OmniWeb's price, but now most of these features, and plenty more, can be found in free browsers. That's not to say that OmniWeb isn't a good browser, but it'll have a extremely hard time facing up against our increasingly capable choices in free software—especially the fantastic Safari 4.
The Omni Group is also setting a few more applications free, but OmniWeb is the by far the juiciest. [Cult of Mac]

ADAMS, J.: Doctor Atomic (DNO, 2007) (NTSC) OA0998D
ADAMS, J.: Doctor Atomic (DNO, 2007) (Blu-ray, NTSC) OABD7020D
Doctor Atomic…deals with big issues in an intellectually challenging way, with music that's architecturally grand, yet rich in its detailing—arguably the best, in fact, that John Adams has produced… if you're willing to give the DVD of the Netherlands production a chance, I think you'll find yourself knocked out.
To read the complete review, please visit Fanfare online.
Doctor Atomic is predominately an English-speaking Opera by John Adams and portrays the work of J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists as they work on the construction of the first Atomic bomb. The material here is clearly more controversial and even risky at times and this is explored even further in the terrific documentary Wonders are Many, which is the making of the opera and is released through Docurama films. This is an obvious companion piece that really helps form the foundations for the Opera and examines with more depth the footage from the earlier blasts and pieces them together with various accounts of performers and physicist to create a fascinating story that will greatly enhance the viewing experience of Doctor Atomic.
Composed by Pulitzer-prize winner John Adams, on a libretto by Peter Sellars, Doctor Atomic is an opera in two acts recreating the final days at the Manhattan Project Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the atomic bomb was first tested. The opera premiered in San Francisco on October 1, 2005.
Incorporating declassified official US documents into its libretto, Doctor Atomic certainly surprises with its unconventional subject matter. Yes, we know how its story ends but that is hardly what makes the opera so intriguing—it is the main characters, their words and actions before the atomic bomb is tested that are fascinating to behold.
Doctor Atomic is also an opera with heavy political overtones. Though the declassified texts from the libretto have not been intentionally manipulated, the manner in which they are incorporated into the story certainly recreates some of the key events surrounding the first atomic bomb testing in a way that encourages us to think about America's current superpower status as well as its leaders (Peter Sellars offers his thoughts on this very issue in an interview that you could find amongst the extra features).
The production of Doctor Atomic recorded for this Blu-ray disc is courtesy of the San Francisco Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago and De Nederlandse Opera. Unsurprisingly, Doctor Atomic is terrifically staged—Peter Sellars' perfectionist style is very easy to recognize—and performed in a manner that must have delighted John Adams. The emphasis on detail in particular is simply incredible and the sense of paranoia that apparently tormented those who were involved with the atomic test that took place at the Manhattan Project Laboratory in Los Alamos is very convincingly recreated.
This is yet another stellar addition to Opus Arte's excellent catalog of opera releases. The 1080i transfer is very impressive—contrast is exceptionally strong, clarity very pleasing and motion-judder not a serious issue of concern. The color-scheme is also lovely. Furthermore, the HD cameras capture the stage from all sorts of different angles and, as far as I am concerned, there aren't shadow issues to report here either (there are a few light reflections, however, that I was able to spot which may or may not annoy some of you). On the other hand, the close ups look very strong. Finally, I did not detect any image deteriorations to report here. (Note: This is a Region-Free release which you will be able to play on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location).
There are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and English Dolby TrueHD 2.0. Well, unlike Opus Arte's Blu-ray treatment of Mozart's Die Entführung Aus Dem Serail where I detected a few issues with the audio presentation, Doctor Atomic is very much up to the high-standards we have come to expect from the distributor. I viewed the entire opera with the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track and later on did a few random comparisons with the Dolby TrueHD 2.0 track for the purpose of this review. The first thing I would like to note is that the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track is indeed very convincing. There are a number of unusual sound effects in Doctor Atomic that have been captured by the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track exceptionally well. Furthermore, there aren't any balance issues that I could detect either (the balance between the chorus, the soloists and the orchestra is very good). Second, the quality of the sound mixing of the actual production is far more convincing than that of Mozart's Die Entführung Aus Dem Serail.
The Dolby TrueHD 2.0 track is also of high quality, but I certainly would not recommend that you opt for it when you view Doctor Atomic. The sound effects I mentioned above are far better captured by the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track and, as far as balance is concerned, there aren't any major improvements here that I could point out to you. This being said, Opus Arte have supplied optional English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish subtitles for the main feature.
Doctor Atomic arrives with a lovely 32-page booklet containing a very informative article titled "Doctor Atomic: John Adams' Operatic Countdown", courtesy of Thomas May, editor of Decoding Wagner and The John Adams Reader. A version of the article was originally published in the program book of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. The article is offered in English, French, and German.
On the actual Blu-ray disc, you will find a narrated synopsis for the opera, a cast gallery, and four mini documentaries—The Opera, The Cast, The Composer, and The Direction. In addition, there is a fantastic interview with Peter Sellars where he deconstructs Doctor Atomic and explains how it relates to America's modern history.
It took me a couple of days to go through the entire opera and all of the great supplemental features Opus Arte have provided for it, and all I could say is that this is indeed a very impressive package. Not only is the actual production of top-notch quality, but the extras that are provided on this disc are just as fascinating (Peter Sellars' interview is terrific). Yes, Doctor Atomic comes Very Highly Recommended.

Breast lift surgery explained
Product Supported / Obsolete?:supported
As a woman's body changes she may experience some changes in her body some of which may be outwardly visible while others will not be visible. A lot of the times these changes may affect how the woman feels about herself and her self confidence.
One of the most notable and visible changes is in the appearance of the breasts which may not appear to have lost their shape and position on her body. As a result many women have opted to have a breast lift surgery done on them to improve the appearance of their bust.
The change in appearance of the bust of a woman may be due to a number of reasons such as age, breast feeding or having disproportionate breasts. As a woman becomes older the skin that holds up the breasts on the chest may become inelastic or overstretched and hence sag. In the case of breast feeding the breast becomes enlarged to hold milk and once breastfeeding is done the milk glands in the breast may not fully return to their original size as they had expanded and the surrounding skin enlarged to accommodate them. Top breast lift surgeons ga Where a woman has disproportionate breasts, her breasts are too big for her body.
A breast lift surgery works to correct all these anomalies with the bust so that the woman will once again have the bust she desired. During a breast lift surgery the surgeon will do a number of things to change the appearance of the breasts; he will remove excess tissue around the breast to reduce the sagging of the breast then he will reposition the nipple to the correct position on the chest to compensate for the tissue removed.
In a number of occasions the doctor may reshape the nipple if it is found to be downward pointing.
However it is important to note that a breast lift does not increase the size of the breast but merely improves their contour and firmness. If you would like to have a larger cup size you may want to consider having an augmentation done together with your breast lift so that the doctor will not only lift your breasts but also perform an augmentation at the same time.
A breast lift surgery does not interfere with breastfeeding as you can still be able to breastfeed normally after having this procedure. Although this may reverse the results of your breast lift surgery.

I bought a plaid skirt from the Valley Rescue Mission thrift store about a month ago for $3.99 and finally got it tailored and now I'm in love with it. It was originally about a size 8 and I had the seamstress bring in the waist so that it sits high and hangs at calf length as a midi. The tailoring cost about $9.00. I paired it with a basic black turtleneck, sheer black stockings and booties.
Black Long sleeve turtleneck-Target
Abetter Platforn Booties– Mark Fischer
Earrings- Forever21
Statement bracelet- Flea Market (Atlanta, GA)
I love this outfit because it's festive and very appropriate for the Christmas Holidays. The long skirt is also very warm for winter, and you can't go wrong with classic booties. The silhouette is classic and the turtleneck doesn't compete with the skirt. The outfit is very girly and feminine, which I love. I felt very chic, I can't wait to try other styles of blouses with this skirt.Next time, I may wear a petticoat underneath the skirt to add a little more fullness since I'm lacking in the curves department. LOL.


text: YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE {{item.title}} Cape Town - A South African underwater and aerial photographer is making waves with big international names as he has been named as one of the best Underwater Photographers of 2017. Jean Tresfon, South African photographer and conservationist working intensively in the Cape region in SA, was named Runner-up in the Behaviour Category for an incredibly beautiful image showing a humpback whale feeding on krill. This is his story - "Every summer hundreds of humpback whales gather off the Cape Town coast in a massive feeding aggregation. Working as part of a film crew I was privileged to have a chance to photograph this phenomenon. Although the water visibility was really good, inside the krill patch it was much reduced. Without warning the whales appeared just metres away with their pleats distended as they surfaced with huge mouthfuls of krill. Realising that they must be feeding deeper down I descended into the darker water to find the thickest concentration of krill. Suddenly a humpback appeared right in front of me, its huge mouth wide open as it sieved the water for the tiny crustaceans. I took several images before it disappeared into the gloom and then I was surrounded by a multitude of massive bodies as the rest of the pod took its turn to feed. Not a little intimidating!"Take a look: According to UPY 2017 chair of the jury for 2016 Peter Rowlands, the image stood out not only for the intimacy it provided to the animals' behaviour but also because the "framing is well timed with great eye contact". The overall winning title for the 2017 UPY went to Gabriel Barathieu from France for this image "Dancing Octopus". Baratheiu's photograph triumphed over 4 500 underwater pictures entered by underwater photographers from 67 different countries. Barathieu says, "I had to wait for a low spring tide when the water was just 30cm deep so that the octopus would fill the water column. I got as close as possible with a wide angle lens to create this image, which makes the octopus look huge."Both balletic and malevolent, this image shows an octopus that really means business as it hunts. The way it moves is so different from any predator on land, this truly could be an alien from another world, commented competition judge, Alex Mustard. It was taken in knee deep water, showing that underwater photography is open to anyone who is prepared to dip their toe in the water," he says. You can see the full gallery of winning and commended photographs here: 2017 Underwater Photographer of the Year winnersRowlands says he has been "captivated not only by the winning images but also by the stories behind how those images were achieved."Underwater Photographer of the Year is an annual competition that seeks to celebrate photography beneath the surface of the sea, lakes, rivers and even swimming pools. British photographer Phil Smith was the first underwater Photographer of the Year, named in 1965.Today's competition has 10 categories, testing photographers with themes such as Macro, Wide Angle, Behaviour and Wreck photography, as well as three categories for photos taken specifically in British waters. This year's judges were experienced underwater photographers Peter Rowlands, Martin Edge and Alex Mustard. Tresfon is the only local photographer to be named in the acclaimed international competition this year. We caught up with him to ask him about his love for the diving and protecting the incredible creatures he captures on camera. Here are 5 Quick Questions answered by Jean Tresfon: Traveller24: Where was the image taken? Why were you filming/photographing in that particular area? Jean Tresfon: The image was shot just offshore from Oudeschip, near Hout Bay, in Cape Town. Several hundred humpback whales had gathered in a massive feeding aggregation to consume the huge pockets of krill that were present in the nutrient rich waters of the Atlantic Seaboard. I was part of a film crew team that had a permit to document this incredible behaviour.Traveller24: What was it like being in such close proximity to the animal? Jean Tresfon: It was quite simply terrifying! As I swam down into the ball of krill the visibility was reduced to just a few metres and the water was dark and icy cold. Out of the gloom, these massive mammals appeared just metres away with their cavernous mouths wide open as they sieved the water for the krill. I grabbed shots where I could but had to look everywhere so I did not end up as a modern-day Jonah.Traveller24: Practically speaking, walk us through what it entails to be underwater and still be steady and calm enough to do photography? Jean Tresfon: Taking pictures underwater assumes that you are completely at ease with all your gear and are comfortable with your diving. Once you have mastered all the skills necessary to keep both yourself and the environment safe underwater, only then should you consider taking a camera. We use conventional cameras in watertight housings, and also take artificial light with us in the form of strobe lights.Traveller24: Why do you do Underwater and Ocean photography and what message would you like to convey with your photography? Jean Tresfon: I work as a marine conservation photographer in order to showcase the beauty of our underwater environment and to let people know why it needs protecting. We have some of the most diverse and pristine marine environments in the world but they are under serious threat from poaching and illegal fishing. We protect only what we love, we love only what we know, and we know only what we are taught...Traveller24: How can aspiring underwater photographers go about to start? Jean Tresfon: Go underwater and shoot shoot shoot. Start with subjects you know super well. There are three golden rules: (1) Get close to your subject(2) Shoot up towards the surface (3) Tell a story with your images. Develop a thick skin and ask for honest feedback from known photographers. Keep trying and it will all fall into place...

In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna is granted the vision of the Divine and is overwhelmed by the experience. Similarly we learn of those who are vouchsafed an extraordinary experience or vision of some ultimate form of the Divine, generally as a result of a Grace acting upon the seeker who has dedicated himself to the spiritual quest. We thus conceive of the vision of God as being something miraculous and rare, the result of long efforts. The vision quest, the sojourn in the desert, the fasting and prayers in the monastery, the solitary contemplation in the caves or the forest or along the river bank, all represent our ways of seeking this extraordinary experience.
Sri Aurobindo reminds us, however, that God is not separate from the creation and that, therefore, we may see and experience the Divine at any time, along the path of our seeking, in our evolutionary progression. "Already he was there in the world as the Originator and Receiver of works behind the dense veils of the Inconscient, disguised in force of Life, visible to the Mind through symbol godheads and figures….Or even, wearing still vaguer masks, he may be conceived by us as an Ideal or mentalised as an abstract Power of Love, Good, Beauty or Knowledge; or, as we turn our feet towards the Way, he may come to us veiled as the call of Humanity or a Will in things that drives towards the deliverance of the world from the grasp of Darkness and Falsehood and Death and Suffering–the great quaternary of the Ignorance. Then, after we have entered the path, he envelops us with his wide and might liberating Impersonality or moves near to us with the face and form of a personal Godhead. In and around us we feel a Power that upholds and protects and cherishes; we hear a Voice that guides; a conscious Will greater than ourselves rules us; an imperative Force moves our thought and actions and our very body; an ever-widening Consciousness assimilates ours, a living Light of Knowledge lights all within, or a Beatitude invades us; a Mightiness presses from above, concrete, massive and overpowering, and penetrates and pours itself into the very stuff of our nature; a Peace sits there, a Light, a Bliss, a Strength, a Greatness. Or there are relations, personal, intimate as life itself, sweet as love, encompassing like the sky, deep like deep waters. A Friend walks at our side; a Lover is with us in our heart's secrecy; a Master of the Work and the Ordeal points our way; a Creator of things uses us as his instrument; we are in the arms of the eternal Mother. All these more seizable aspects in which the Ineffable meets us are truths and not mere helpful symbols or useful imaginations; but as we progress, their first imperfect formulations in our experience yield to a larger vision of the one Truth that is behind them….At last on the supramental borders all these Godheads combine their sacred forms and, without at all ceasing to be, coalesce together. On this path the Divine Aspects have not revealed themselves only in order to be cast away; they are not temporary spiritual conveniences or compromises with an illusory Consciousness or dream-figures mysteriously cast upon us by the incommunicable superconscience of the Absolute; on the contrary, their power increases and their absoluteness reveals itself as they draw near to the Truth from which they issue."
Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga, Part One: The Yoga of Divine Works, Chapter 11, The Master of the Work, pp. 248-250

- Sunday 7th January 5pm, The Other Side of Hope: Khaled, syrian refugee stows away on a freighter to Helsinki. Meanwhile, Wikström is a traveling salesman who wins big at a poker table and buys himself a restaurant with the proceeds. When the authorities turn down his application for asylum, Khaled is forced underground and Wikström finds him sleeping in the yard behind his restaurant.

- Sunday 4th of February 5pm, Porcupine Lake: Somewhere between Toronto and northern Ontario, between childhood and adolescence, 13-year-old Bea (Charlotte Salisbury) is facing down growing-up, and isn't sure she likes what she sees, especially with her parents on the edge of divorce. Then she meets Kate (Lucinda Armstrong Hall), she is funny, outspoken and tough. Under Kate's influence, Bea finds her courage. But being brave has a price, especially when it means making a difficult choice between "never squealing" or speaking out.
- Sunday 4th of March 5pm, Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story: Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr fled an oppressive marriage to create a name for herself as one of Hollywood's top leading ladies in the 1940s.

Herb Brooks was always a student of the game. He studied the many different styles of hockey and massaged them into a system that worked for his teams. The most notable example, of course, was the Miracle on Ice squad with their unheralded upset over the Soviet Union in 1980.
This past October, a group of Americans took a page out of the late Brooks' book by participating in the Russian Exchange Program. A total of 24 players and coaches, including 12 Minnesotans, packed their bags for a 10-day trip to Moscow to get a taste of what Russian culture and hockey are like.
The Russian Exchange Program was formed through an agreement between the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Russian Ministry of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy. Last year 24 Russian hockey players came to Washington, D.C. – and now it was the Americans' turn.
The 12 Minnesotans were accompanied by 10 skaters and two coaches from California with the goal of experiencing a new culture, meeting new people and learning the different hockey methods, teachings and lifestyles of another country.
It wasn't just security guards and secretaries greeting the players and coaches upon arrival at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
How about this guest list? Current NHL stars Alex Ovechkin and Pavel Datsyuk, along with former sniper Sergei Fedorov. Joining them was Russian Hockey Federation President Vladislav Tretiak, national goalie coach Vladimir Myshkin – two international legends – and Igor Tuzik, vice president of the Russian Hockey Federation.
"I didn't expect that," said Ben Newman, a senior forward at Little Falls High School who embarked on the journey. "It was crazy. We were treated like VIPs."
South St. Paul High School boys' hockey coach Scott Macho echoed Newman's reaction.
"It was unbelievable," he said. "They completely rolled out the red carpet for us."
They'd eventually get to attend a few Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) games and meet other NHL studs Ilya Kovalchuk and Ilya Bryzgalov. Not too shabby.
The group stayed at the Russian Olympic training center in Novagorsk – where all the Olympians and national teams train – just outside of Moscow. The Americans hit the ice every day with some of the Russian national U17 players, the girls' national coach and one of the boys' national coaches, along with Tuzik, Myshkin and Tretiak, who helped explain the Russian style of coaching, player development and day-to-day activities.
Emilie Brigham noticed a difference in their on-ice practices right away.
"There were a lot of skating drills in the first hour," said Brigham, a senior at Anoka High School who is committed to Maine next year. "They focus a lot on skating and edgework."
And it shows in their style of play.
"They're all super good skaters and really good finesse players," Newman added. "The difference there is flow. They don't dump and chase."
For Jess Christopherson, head girls' coach at Coon Rapids High School, she hoped the players were able to see a different style of play.
"The European game is very well thought out," Christopherson said. "They're very good at supporting each other. There are always layers. There is always a pass back for every pass there might be up front.
"Our kids want to turn and go to the net right away and dump the puck and crash and have this big physical game."
The daily joint hockey sessions ended in small-area 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 games – something the American Development Model has enthusiastically embraced – between the Americans and the Russians. It exposed some of the Americans' weaknesses.
"We got beat up a little bit in those games because they were smarter than we were," Christopherson said. "I think toward the end of the week our kids started to pick up on that a little bit, and hopefully they can take that back to their teams at home."
One of the things that stuck out to the coaches was the encouragement of multi-sport participation.
Macho asked the Russian national coaches: Do these guys play hockey year-round?
"They said, 'No, you have to have a break. When do you take a break?' And I said unfortunately a lot of times parents and kids don't allow breaks."
"It was neat to see the, 'you have to take a break, but you also have to play other sports' philosophy," Macho said.
Christopherson couldn't agree more.
"It was actually refreshing for us to hear that. That's the system they support too," she added. "It's the whole theory that we want athletes. We don't want hockey players, we want athletes. We want kids that, no matter what happens, they're going to fall and crash and they're going to be able to get up and use their body for positioning, and they're going to be strong athletes and be able to adjust to different situations."
Most Russian families live in large apartment complexes, which often surround a sports and recreation area for kids to play, train and have fun in several different activities. The Americans got to take part in a floorball game with the local kids immediately when they arrived at the complex. Soccer, handball, wrestling, karate and other activities are commonplace for the local youth, which ultimately help them develop a wide range of athletic skills.
Fill in some tourist attractions, Russian cuisine, and an opportunity to meet new people and experience a different culture, and this ended up being a trip of a lifetime.
"I was pretty nervous about it. It turned out to be more than I'd ever expected," Brigham said.
Christopherson still has trouble explaining the adventure.
"It's still pretty overwhelming," she said. "Everyone asks, 'How was Russia?' I don't even know how to explain it to you. It far exceeded any of our expectations."

Singularities of integrals
Homology, hyperfunctions and microlocal analysis

Part of the Universitext book series (UTX)
Part of the Universitext book series (UTX)
Bringing together two fundamental texts from Frédéric Pham's research on singular integrals, the first part of this book focuses on topological and geometrical aspects while the second explains the analytic approach. Using notions developed by J. Leray in the calculus of residues in several variables and R. Thom's isotopy theorems, Frédéric Pham's foundational study of the singularities of integrals lies at the interface between analysis and algebraic geometry, culminating in the Picard-Lefschetz formulae. These mathematical structures, enriched by the work of Nilsson, are then approached using methods from the theory of differential equations and generalized from the point of view of hyperfunction theory and microlocal analysis.
Providing a 'must-have' introduction to the singularities of integrals, a number of supplementary references also offer a convenient guide to the subjects covered.
This book will appeal to both mathematicians and physicists with an interest in the area of singularities of integrals.
Frédéric Pham, now retired, was Professor at the University of Nice. He has published several educational and research texts. His recent work concerns semi-classical analysis and resurgent functions.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Whack A Mole is the third book in the John Ceepak Mystery series. This is one of the few series that you do not need to worry if you have not read the first two books in the series. The same could probably be said for Mad Mouse (book #2). So far each book is its own stand-alone mystery which is resolved entirely in the novel. This is a nice change of pace from many other series that I have read lately where even after three books into the series nothing major has been resolved.
The story is set in the New Jersey summer spot Sea Haven. It is told from the first person perspective of now rookie police officer Danny Boyle. Danny is partnered with John Ceepak, a man with a strict code: "Don't lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those who do.". After a discovery on a beach, Danny and Ceepak start investigating a cold case of a missing person that is 30 years old. Soon new evidence comes to light that raises the stakes.
This book was a fun, light read much like the previous two books. One thing that bothered me in this book more than previous books, was the complete ineptitude of the other police in this book. The pinnacle of this is Officer Santucci. The degree to which Santucci took the inept police work, was just a bit much for me at times.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and will probably continue with this series!

now i got an error message that a line of patch 1.5 is missing wtf²
But as Slayer mentioned we lost 5 first maps without even on coming close to victory.
Quote from: Auwin on 27-02-2011, 10:02:53But as Slayer mentioned we lost 5 first maps without even on coming close to victory.Well, I think they were great fights. We lost Brest with 120 tickets or something, and PeB with 50, so I think we did come close to victory sometimes. There were only a few steamrolls, Cobra for allies and St Lo for axis.
I had one round left, then a full squad run 20cm next to me, they didnt see me, and I followed them to kill 3 people with my zook and another one with my colt
Will have a look into it, and let you know when I find out what exactly happened. My apologies for this inconvenience.Edit: Ok it seems that there were problems in the recording of the battlerecorders, therefore the problem are the battlerecorder files itself. Not your programs. Shamefully we cannot recover them. With the next gamenight this problem is solved, and the battlerecorder files will be working by then.Again, my apologies.

Few cities have waterfalls thundering through the downtown core. Even fewer have one like Spokane's, which can be -- and often is -- shut off at the spigot.
SPOKANE, Wash. Few cities have waterfalls thundering through the downtown core. Even fewer have one like Spokane's, which can be -- and often is -- shut off at the spigot.
Facing a rare opportunity to reshape the Spokane River, environmental groups are demanding that the water be used for fish and aesthetics rather than generating electricity.
The fight over the relatively short and obscure river is a microcosm of what is happening across the West.
"We'll probably never make everyone happy," said Hugh Imhof, a spokesman for Avista, Spokane's electrical utility.
Avista has applied for a new 30- to 50-year federal license to operate its five hydroelectric dams, and interest groups are demanding that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission consider their needs when setting policy for the new license.
Environmentalists want water released frequently, to aid fish in the river, keep the falls roaring and boost recreation.
Business interests want to make sure there is plenty of cheap hydropower for factories, homes and businesses.
And tourism officials and homeowners on scenic Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho want to make sure that enough water is left in the lake to allow them to use their docks and keep marinas in business. The river flows out of the lake and through the urban Spokane area before its confluence with the Columbia River.
Imhof said no agreement has been reached among the competing interests, but Avista plans to deliver its final licensing application to the federal government in July.
The utility proposes keeping enough water flowing through downtown during daylight hours to keep the falls scenic. At night, water would be diverted through turbines to create electricity.
But several thorny issues remain.
"The Spokane River is one of the most polluted rivers in the state of Washington," said Rachael Paschal Osborn, a water lawyer and Sierra Club activist in Spokane.
The state recently released for public comment a plan to clean up industrial PCBs in the river, the state's most PCB-fouled. PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, are synthetic chemicals used in transformers and other industrial equipment that were banned in 1979. They are a suspected human carcinogen.
Also, the river does not contain enough dissolved oxygen in the summer to support a healthy fish population.
The state is under a federal court order to solve the problem, and had proposed a plan that would have essentially required many industrial users of the river to stop discharging wastewater during summer months, forcing them to find costly alternatives.
The dischargers replied with a proposal that they would pledge to use the best technology for treating wastewater, investigate and implement ways to reuse wastewater rather than discharging it to the river, and study water conservation and farm runoff.
"The bottom line ... is a cleaner Spokane River, at less cost and with less conflict," said Andy Rustemeyer, who represented business interests in discussions. But the local Sierra Club calls it a "Trojan horse" effort to weaken dissolved oxygen standards for the river.
Also, environmentalists are starting to focus on a long-term goal, restoring salmon to the river.
Salmon runs ended when the Grand Coulee and Chief Joseph dams were constructed on the Columbia River, blocking fish from reaching the ocean and then returning to spawn.
With the federal government beginning to study options for moving salmon around or over the huge dams, Osborn thinks Avista should start the same process for its much smaller dams blocking the Spokane.
"The salmon will come back," she said. "We need to get the Spokane River ready too."
