  1. In that case, I'd suggest you change the wording to: "Only 4GB DIMMs allowed"
  2. Thanks RB Nothing for monthly team comps?
  3. Posted about a month ago in the Rev.4 discussion thread: Any updates on this? Also, I wanted to know if there will be team points awarded for team competitions (ie monthly HWBot challenges)? What was the intention, what is the current status, and how do we plan for future comps? Thanks
  4. ^^^ I was thinking the same....but its not too important for 03 Nice score Nick :-)
  5. I wanted to personally thanks everyone who participated one more time. And provide another update for our church. We are independent, but have been working closely with the CRASH organization, and much of the funding for projects we're involved with comes from them. So you have had a direct impact on what I have been involved with, thank you! ***I am not a representative of CRASH, and I am simply bringing you my personal perspective of the situation, my thoughts and comments are my own*** Every week since the disaster, members of our church have driven to and spent 3-4 days a week supporting relief efforts in the disaster struck region. Much of the work for the first month or two was making required connections to prepare for the "long haul" of support. The Japanese government and the self defense force has done a tremendous job (IMO) getting the immediate physical needs of the people met. However, the real battle will be caring for the victims over the next few year as the government is now about finished with its mission, and is pulling out of the area. That is where the independent organizations come in, and the ground work laid over the first few months was essential to our long term mission. A good friend of mine named Micah has just finished Bible school at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, he is the son of the pastor of my church, and was born and raised here in Japan. He is completely fluent in Japanese and English. He just came back from the states and will be staying in Otsuchi for the next few months to act as a local liaison for our ongoing efforts with the local communities. I've been to the disaster area with my family twice now, and I wanted to share some pictures from my trips. The first was on April 14th, we drove a car full of supplies to one of the shelters in Miyako, and spent the rest of the day helping out at a volunteer shelter that had been temporarily set up in the bottom floor of a hotel that took heavy damage from the tsunami. Here is my album from the day. Yesterday (June 4th), we drove a bunch of American meat from the Misawa AFB up north, down the coast to Otsuchi to BBQ lunch for a bunch of victims living in shelters in the area. Here are is my album from that trip.
  6. First off, thanks a bunch Kal-EL and OCA for getting this organized. If none of you noticed, I have not had time for benching lately. And, I probably won't for some time. There's too much to do here. I wanted to post and show you what many of you guys are donating your hard earned money for. These pictures were taken by my friend Martin. He has been to the disaster area 3-4 days a week, every week since the earthquake. The descriptions are also from him. He has been a missionary in Japan for 25 years, and I have been heavily involved in his ministry since I moved to northern Japan almost two years ago. But nothing like this new task. This is Martin: Please keep in mind that we are only a small part of the CRASH organization, and there are dozens of other groups working on their own projects elsewhere in the area. This first group of pictures were taken on his first trip to the area on March 16th-18th, just days after the earthquake. This second group of photos were taken the 2nd week (March 19th-21st). The first was a rough survey. This week the focus was locating a property to use for a shelter, and coordinating the logistics. March 23rd & 24th were spent at the church in Ofunato, cleaning it up, and getting it ready to support survivors. Here are a few pictures from those days. Here is the latest update from about a week ago. We're still working hard to get things in place so that the people closer in the area can become self sustainable with what we're helping with, but we're anticipating that will still take months. I have not been to the affected areas myself yet, but I plan to start making trips with Martin over the next few weeks. I'll keep you all updated as things progress, and I get a better idea of the specifics. Again, if you'd like to take part (big or small) in helping us, please visit the CRASH Japan site here.
  7. Yeah, it's bugged No point in submitting it cause it'll just get reported and pulled off, and make you look bad
