San Antonio Storage Lets You Rock Like Austin

San Antonio Storage Lets You Rock Like Austin
So you've heard about this little place called Austin. It's where musicians, both talented and deluded, mingle with girls who have tattoos. Yes, it's home to incredible music festivals, venues and a steady stream of dreamers who just might be the next big thing. But guess what? San Antonio is a great music destination too. And if you're a Texas musician, self storage can play a surprising role in your journey to stardom. The Bandera location of Lockaway Storage is currently building an entire section of their facility that will allow bands to practice in storage units. As a bonus, these unique tenants can leave their instruments and other equipment in the unit when they're not practicing, that way they're not constantly hauling it back and forth or having it take up valuable space in an apartment. The facility will even feature a lounge where musicians can relax in between sets and meet like-minded local talent. A storage facility isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think about locations for scouting out a new bassist, but it just might be the best one. Keep in mind that plenty of other facilities across town allow storage units to be rented for this purpose, but Lockaway's Bandera location will be the first to really cater to musicians. Think of it as that cool garage you've always dreamed of starting your band in, only for rent rather than at your parents' house.
Storage You Can Afford
Hooray! San Antonio is cheap to live in. That means that you can actually afford a storage unit. This is one of the often overlooked reasons why people who don't have storage don't even bother seeking it out. In San Antonio, the average cost of a one bedroom apartment is $875 a month and the unemployment rate is low (and getting lower). Storage unit prices are low too. It's not uncommon to find one for under $50 a month. One word of caution though: San Antonio is the fastest growing city out of the 10 biggest cities in the country, and as the prices in Austin keep going up (it currently takes an estimated 111 hours of work a week to afford a two bedroom apartment in the capital), it won't be long before the rest of Texas starts two-stepping down to San Antonio. If you're planning on sticking around for a while, we recommend locking in a low rate on a storage unit just like you would your apartment.
Remember the Alamo (And the Lack of Storage Space Near It)
San Antonio is home to more than a million people, but it somehow feels like a small town. Maybe it's because of the low population density which leaves acres for everybody, or maybe it's because in San Antonio you can always find someone friendly who wants to share some of the city's famed margaritas with you. Margaritas are great, but we're going to go with the former. This means that the 218 storage facilities in San Antonio are pretty spread out. That's great news if you like to move around a lot or your commute to and from work takes you all over town. When searching for a facility, you can plan on finding one in just about any part of San Antonio with one glaring exception: Downtown. The area the gives the Alamo City its name is famous for the River Walk and of course The Alamo itself. It's beautiful and historical and as you might imagine, history buffs aren't so big on allowing business development. Factor in the traffic, lack of parking and narrow streets and we're not sure you'd even want to find storage Downtown anyway. If you're not sure where to rent a unit and you're searching for space Downtown because you assume it's centrally located (it's not), opt for storage near where you live instead. Companies with multiple facilities in town will happily help you transfer to another one of their properties if you ever decide to move.
The Humidity Factor
In dry, mild cities, if someone is trying to sell you on an upgrade to climate controlled storage, you might be getting ripped off. This is not the case in San Antonio, where the only thing more powerful than the heat is the humidity. Temperatures vary from 40 degrees (not super common) to 100 degrees (unfortunately a little more common). There's no dry season, but there is humidity all year round which means that the air can often feel thick and damp. If just the thought of this makes you want to crank up the AC, think about how the stuff in your storage unit feels. Letting valuables sit in a hot storage unit when there's moisture in the air is a recipe for disaster if you're storing antiques, art or anything temperature sensitive. One of the most vulnerable items is your photo collection. Leave your photos in a storage unit in San Antonio that's not climate controlled and you can expect them to transform from precious memories into one big melted together mess.
Storage FAQ's
What options do I have for payments? What forms of payment do you accept?
Most storage facilities accept cash, credit cards, or checks. Always ask about autopay, it's faster and much more convenient.
Will I receive a monthly invoice?

What storage space sizes are available?
In San Antonio, there are 223 storage facilities, with a total of 556 storage units. Storage unit sizes generally range from 3' X 4' to 15' X 80'. Call one of your local facilities to have a representative find what size unit is best for you.
Is there anything unique to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in San Antonio?
Some factors to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in San Antonio are: weather, peak rush hour times, items that you will be storing, and location within San Antonio.
What if I need more or less space after I move in?
Once you move in and feel that you need to move into a smaller or bigger space, storage facilities are happy to accommodate your move. Before renting a space, it is recommended that you speak to a storage facility representative to help you find the best sized unit for your needs. If things change through the course of your lease, they will help make the transition to your next unit as efficient and simple as possible. We also have a size guide that may answer some preliminary questions you may have.
Do you have different policies and prices for students or active military members?
Students and active military members are clients that have unique needs because of the nature of their schedules. Most storage facilities in San Antonio offer discounts to students, and discounts and different policies for active military members. Please call your local facility or see our students and active military members pages to get detailed and updated information.
If I lose my key, can you provide another one?
No, storage facility employees do not have copies of the keys used for the units. If you lose your key, check with the facility for lock cutting fees. They may also be able to sell another lock and key to you.
What access will I have to my belongings?
You have 223 facilities to choose from in San Antonio. Access hours range from 8 to 24 hours a day. Please contact your local facility for more specific information about your unit.
How long is the lease and what are its terms?
Storage companies in San Antonio offer a month-to-month lease. If for some reason you would like to cancel your lease during a particular month, please contact one of the facility managers to assist you.
Do you accept deliveries for customers?
Most storage facilities in San Antonio accept deliveries for their customers so that they don't have to go through the process of moving every time they need something to be placed in their storage units. They will keep your items in the office and will inform you when they arrive so that you can place them in your storage unit at your convenience.
Do you sell boxes and moving supplies?
Yes, most storage facilities sell boxes of various sizes, tape, bubble wrap, labels, and other items for your packing and moving needs.
Can I rent climate-controlled spaces in San Antonio?
Yes, climate-controlled spaces are available in San Antonio due to the varying weather. Temperatures range from 41.0 to 48.2, which can dramatically affect things in your storage unit. For storing items such as wine, wooden items, electronics, metals, artwork, etc. storage facilities recommend that you rent a climate-controlled unit. For questions and more details, please contact a local facility.
How do I know what size storage I need?
Storage managers would be happy to help you determine which size unit is best for you so that you're not paying for a 15' X 80' unit when you really need a 3' X 4' unit. Please reference our size guide for more information.
What are the prices of the storage spaces? Are prices based on the square footage of the storage space?
Generally the prices of storage units in San Antonio vary based on the size of the storage unit and the location of the unit in the facility. Prices range between 29.0 and 1100.0, but representatives can better assist you once they have the details of your storage needs.
What security measures are taken to protect the storage units?
Security is every storage operator's priority. Speak with the storage manager of a facility of your liking in San Antonio to find out what security measures they take to protect your belongings.
Do you have advice on how to pack my storage space?
Yes, storage managers can provide you with tips and techniques on how to most efficiently utilize your storage space. Their hope is that you can have easy access to your items and that your storage space is worth every penny of your money.
Do you provide your customers with movers?
No, storage facilities do not provide movers. However, managers and team members would be happy to provide you with a list of reliable and reasonably priced movers in San Antonio. See our resource guide for movers in San Antonio.
Will the company have access to my space?
No, no one in the storage facilities has access to your space unless you specifically ask them or give them the right to do so. For example, you may want them to have access to your unit for things you may want delivered directly to your unit.
Should I rent a drive-up or interior storage unit?
Drive-up storage units are typically more expensive and not as clean as interior units. Drive-up units are more exposed to the elements (water, dust, etc.) and are therefore not as clean as interior units. Interior units, on the other hand, have a much better climate. Essentially, the desire to rent a drive-up unit comes from clients thinking that they will be visiting their unit very frequently, which is surprisingly not the case. Most people don't come to their units as often as they think they will, so given the cost and cleanliness issues, it's better to rent an interior storage unit.
Do I need insurance for my storage unit?
We recommend that you get insurance for your belongings because the contents of the units are not insured through storage facilities.
Do you have pest control?
Most facilities in San Antonio schedule professional pest control services every month, and twice a month during summer months.
San Antonio, TX RV and Boat StorageViewHide
San Antonio RV and Boat Storage
Howdy, and welcome to Texas. With tons of campgrounds, it's an RV lover's dream. And nothing's more Lone Star State than San Antonio. If you ascribe to the belief that everything's bigger in Texas, then chances are your RV or boat is going to follow suit. While RVs and boats are a great way to experience the state's mountains and coastline, they can end up causing some problems once vacation is over and it's time to head back to the city. Whether you can't park it in front of where you live or you just don't want to, we've got you covered on what you need to know about RV and boat storage in San Antonio.
It's Tough to FindWe're not telling you it's impossible to store your RV, boat or car in San Antonio. There are more than 200 storage facilities in town, so there have got to be a few solid places to store that extra vehicle, right? Less than a quarter of those facilities offer this type of storage. While you can certainly count on paying for a long term parking spot in the city, this is less than ideal as it's the most expensive option. If you tend to use your RV or boat seasonally (as in traveling all summer in your RV and returning to San Antonio in the winter), you're probably thinking of only paying for a storage space during the time in which it'll actually be occupied. This totally makes sense, but it's actually not the best course of action in San Antonio. We chatted with several facilities and they all agreed that it's actually not a bad idea to rent an RV or boat storage space year round even if you're only using it half the time. Because of the sparse availability of this type of storage and the Texas-sized popularity of RVing and boating, if you can grab a storage spot at a great rate, you'll most likely end up saving money as a result because you'll never be forced to pay for expensive parking. Not to mention, you'll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you've got a place to park your RV or boat. We think that's something that makes every vacation even more relaxing.
San Antonio Weather and StorageLiving in San Antonio, you know that all of those Californians who complain about the heat where they live are just plain wrong. There's nothing quite like that Texas humidity. You already know that finding an RV or boat storage space is a challenge. Finding one that's covered? Even harder (and even more expensive). This means that if you're keeping your vehicle in storage, it's most likely not going to be the type that offers a lot of protection from the elements. Don't think that you can't store your RV or boat as a result of this. Just plan on giving it a little extra love. If you've ever winterized your RV or boat, you're going to apply a lot of the same basic ideas when it comes to preparing for the humidity, heat and rain (San Antonio gets 31 inches a year). Make sure your RV or boat is clean both inside and out and remove anything that's temperature sensitive. Don't forget to look in your RV's fridge! The biggest threat to your RV or boat is going to be the humidity, as moisture is a destructive force that can cause mold, rotting and, for lack of a better term, ickiness. Keep things sealed to prevent wet air from getting in and place baking soda around the inside of your vehicle to absorb any moisture. If you can remove cushions and store them at your home or inside a climate controlled storage unit, this will help too.
Security and RV and Boat StorageBecause most storage units in San Antonio for RVs, boats and cars are more like parking spaces than enclosed garages, you'll want to pay extra special attention to the type of security that your facility of choice offers. Facilities like Alamo Mini Storage utilize cameras 24 hours a day. This is a great thing to look for, so in addition to asking your facility manager about features like this, pay attention when you walk around the property yourself. Do you actually see cameras and if so, is there one pointing at your storage spot? Is the property well lit? What about fences? A storage facility's fences shouldn't be easy to get around, and neither should the gate that's used to access the property. Look for facilities that offer key coded access. Some even offer individual codes rather than one general code that's used by everyone and can hypothetically be used by former tenants if it hasn't been changed. Other features to look for include good locks, a staff that walks the property often and security alarms. Bottom line? When it comes to keeping your RV or boat safe in storage, there's no such thing as being overly cautious.
San Antonio, TX Military StorageViewHide
San Antonio, TX Military Storage
San Antonio is often referred to as "Military City, USA" or "Mother in Law of the Army," and man, is it ever. The total military population in the area is 1,990,675 and that encompasses active duty, reservists and veterans from Joint Base San Antonio and the surrounding area. While more than 200 storage facilities in San Antonio sounds like a lot, it's easy to understand why some military members unfortunately find themselves scrambling for space when you consider that 200 facilities only means about 110,000 individual storage units. Remember though, there are plenty of housing, educational and social opportunities on base, but San Antonio's reasonable cost of living and lively downtown make living in the city a definite option, so not everyone is necessarily going to be looking for storage near the base. If you're relocating to San Antonio to work at the base, you've already got enough to figure out. Read our advice on military storage in San Antonio and cross one thing off your list.
Storage Near the BaseSo we've already talked about what's available and who's using it, but let's get a few more crucial pieces of information out of the way. Where you should you store? If you're in the barracks for training or in privatized military housing (available through Lincoln Military Housing, Balfour Beatty Communities and Hunt Military Communities), you're going to be looking for storage near the base itself. The advantage to this is that many facilities, like Lockaway Storage-Rittiman (less than 10 minutes from the base) offer 10% military discounts and are familiar with the specific storage needs of military members and their families. Another nearby option is Uncle Bob's Self Storage (just a five minute drive from the base). This facility rents trucks which is a huge help for military members moving from temporary housing into privatized housing. In fact, most storage facilities near the base typically see military renters in this situation more than any other. This means that while it's true that a high volume of military storage renters are using facilities near the base, they're not necessarily staying in their units for long periods of time. That's good news for you if your ideal size unit (5x10 and 10x10 are the most popular) isn't available, as it likely will be soon. You might be stuck keeping all of your stuff in your car or in your hotel room for a short period of time, but that won't be the case forever.
Storage and DeploymentAs a military member, the base has all kinds of things in place to support you and your family while you're serving overseas. Don't you think your storage facility should do the same? Luckily, lien laws affect military members a little differently than they do civilians. Sometimes, even if you trust in online bill pay or you ask someone you know to make sure you storage unit rent gets paid, things go wrong. Your facility manager will make every attempt to contact you if this happens, but if you're in a war zone, he'll probably have a pretty tough time doing so. Don't despair; these laws exist to prevent your stuff from getting auctioned off. One word of caution though: The military doesn't like to see members defaulting on rent payments of any kind, so while you should be in the clear as with your storage facility, you might still have some explaining to do to your superiors. We recommend looking for specials that allow you to pay for several months in advance, setting up auto pay, or simply taking the time to talk to your facility manager before your deployment begins to make sure he knows how military lien laws work (he should) and to discuss how to prevent your rent from accidentally going unpaid.
Military Storage and RV/Boat StorageWe know, we know; thinking about one type of storage is enough. But hear us out. As a military member in San Antonio, you're privy to some pretty sweet perks. One such perk is access to military only RV parks like Joint Base San Antonio Canyon Lake Recreation Park. It's just an hour away from the base and it's open year round. Because it's situated on scenic Canyon Lake, it's a great place to bring your boat and get out on the water. If you like camping, you can bring your RV and stay the weekend. Find RV/boat storage in San Antonio and your relocation to Texas won't require you to sacrifice your favorite hobby. If it sounds crazy to you to have one storage unit for your belongings and one for your RV or boat, keep in mind that the cost of living in San Antonio is below the national average and if you're moving from almost any other city, you're going to be surprised by how much extra money you have left over after paying your bills. That means that you can afford storage and enjoy some extra breathing room as a result. Yep, even in the barracks.
San Antonio, TX University StorageViewHide
San Antonio, TX University Storage
We'll let you in on a little secret: San Antonio is poised to become one of the coolest cities in the country. It's one of the fastest growing major cities around but it's also an insanely cheap place to rent an apartment, buy a home and yep, you guessed it, find a storage unit. With a booming job market, ultra-low cost of living and picturesque Texas setting, San Antonio might be the one college town where you don't have to live like a broke college student. Here's the lowdown on university storage in the Alamo City:
Storage is Cheap, and College Specials Make it Even CheaperWith more than 200 storage facilities in San Antonio, it's easy for everyone to find the space they need. Two of San Antonio's biggest colleges are The University of Texas at San Antonio and Texas A&M University-San Antonio. Together, their enrollment is about 35,000. Even if you factor in other smaller schools, there are still more than 110,000 individual storage units available throughout the city. However, as a student, don't forget that you'll be competing for space with the rest of the city too, so be sure to reserve your unit as early as you can. Once you've figured out what you need to store, you can figure out what size unit is best for you. The most popular sizes in San Antonio are 5x5 and 10x10. Odds are, as a student you won't need much space, so these will be the sizes you'll be looking at. The good news is, they're affordable. The bad news is, they're in demand. You can solve both problems by looking for student specials. Several San Antonio facilities offer specials like three months (aka summer break) at one flat rate that can include things like packing supplies and a lock. Another way to save even more money is by sharing a storage unit with a friend. Just make sure it's a friend who knows how to pay rent.
Campus Housing and StorageIf you're attending ?St. Mary's University, you'll be required to live in the dorms as a freshman. This is an awesome way to make friends, but it also means tight quarters and limited closet space. If you're someone who dreams of rolling into campus with an epic fall wardrobe (and a winter one, and a spring one, and a summer one) this is basically a nightmare. But don't despair. Consider using your storage unit like an extra closet. Store at a place like Alamo Mini Storage that's just a five minute drive or half hour walk away and you can access your storage unit almost as easily as you can your actual closet. And remember, when the time comes for you to move out of the dorms and into an apartment, choosing a facility that rents out moving trucks will help make the move as painless as possible because it's much, much easier to rent a truck from a business you're already familiar with and already going to be utilizing on moving day than to add something new into the mix. If you're a student at Texas A&M, you're probably already living in an apartment as housing is still being built and won't be available until 2017. There's a chance you might catch a glimpse of the school's Spanish Mission style architecture and start longing for the day when you can live on campus. Temporary storage for San Antonians in situations like this is one of the most common reasons for storage and can really help you out when you're in a pinch.
Summer Break and StorageWe'd give this advice to anyone seeking storage in San Antonio, but to college students, it's especially important: You probably need climate control. If you're leaving San Antonio for summer vacation, you don't want to subject the contents of your storage unit to the heat and humidity. The heat isn't a huge deal on its own, but the humidity sure is. Any time you've got moisture entering a storage unit, you've got a problem. Items like posters, photos and all of those other paper based dorm decorations you totally shouldn't have to plan on replacing can melt together. Items like books and clothing can be susceptible to mold. It's okay if the words "climate controlled storage unit" sound foreign to you. Every good facility manager knows their importance and will likely discuss this option with you as soon as you even mention summer vacation.

Jake Owen Admits His Priorities Have Changed Since Becoming a Married Man
Jake Owen is loving everything life has been bringing him lately. Where shall we start? Two consecutive No. 1 singles, a beautiful new wife, a prime slot opening for Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney on the Brothers of the Sun Tour… the list goes on and on.
In celebration of his newfound success, Owen admits he has been able to reward himself — and his lady.
"I bought a nice diamond ring for my wife," he tells Taste of Country with a grin. "[And] we [just] bought a house together, [but] I haven't done a whole lot [for myself]. Growing up, my dad was really frugal. Maybe some folks around me who are close would say different, but I don't splurge on things that aren't necessarily needed. I think you have to sometimes. I spend so much of my time on a bus, riding down the road, that when I'm home, I need to do something for everything I'm working hard for. But with a wife now and a new house and things to do, my priorities are a bit different than they were a couple of years ago."
And married life brings other lifestyle changes, too. "I'm learning how to say 'we' a lot more than 'I,'" Owen spills, quickly adding that it's been beneficial having his wife Lacey in his life when it comes to looking for songs to record. "She's my wife, but she's also my best friend. I think that any best friend, whether it's a guy and his best friend buddy or a husband and his wife, you always lean on your friends for advice to see what they think because you feel like they know you better than anyone."
He continues, "She does know me, and knows where my mind is and where my head is at a lot of the times. She knows if something hits me or not. I've played songs for her that I like, and she'll go, 'Eh, I don't know if I like that one as much as the other one.' I trust her judgement. We share a lot of stuff together."
Owen's wife will certainly have her work cut out for her as her husband prepares to release his 'Summer Jam' EP and a new full-length project to follow.

Warner-Wright-Thom Collection - PP116
Collection finding aids of Photograph Collections in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Maryland Historical Society Library
ca. 1845-1858
Prints and Photographs Division, Maryland Historical Society
201 W. Monument St.
Baltimore, MD 21201
Finding aid created by Katherine Cowan with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, January 2000
The Warner, Wright, and Thom families of Maryland were residents of Baltimore City and Queen Annes County. Among them were lawyers, doctors, financiers, and political figures including senators and governors; many traveled extensively in Europe and South America.
Ella Lea Wright Thom (1837-1861) was the granddaughter Mary Lea Warner (1773-1846) and the daughter of Eliza Lea Warner Wright (1800-1864) and William Henry DeCourcy Wright (1795-1864), a U.S. Consul in Rio de Janeiro in the 1820s and 1830s. Ella married Dr. Joseph Pembroke Thom (1828-1899) in 1857, and their son W.H. DeCourcy Wright Thom (1858-1932) was born the following year; a second son was born in 1861. As Ella Thom died when her sons were very young, the children were cared for by their mothers father and by her sister, Clintonia Gustavia Wright May (1825-1902), who would marry Maryland governor Philip Francis Thomas in 1876.
DeCourcy Wright Thom was educated at private schools and graduated from the University of Virginia. In 1885, he married Mary Pleasants Gordon Thom (d. 1892), daughter of Douglas H. Gordon, and they lived in the Mt. Vernon section of Baltimore while Thom worked as a banker and broker. Mary Thom died in 1892, leaving two children: Mary Gordon Thom and Anne Gordon Thom. After his wifes death, DeCourcy Wright Thom retired from business and moved to Blakeford, the Wright family estate near Queenstown (Queen Annes Co.), of which he was the last family owner. In retirement, Thom pursued varied interests, Maryland history and politics, philanthropy, historic preservation, and genealogy among them. He was an officer and active member of the Maryland Historical Society, and originated the societys magazine. Thom married Mary Washington Stewart in 1910, and they had two children together: W.H. DeCourcy Thom, Jr. and Elizabeth K. Thom (Graham).
Collection Origin
Gift of Anne Gordon Baldwin and Ludlow H. Baldwin (Mr. and Mrs. Ludlow H. Baldwin), 1987 (001736).
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of 10 cased photographs from ca. 1845-1858, including daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes. The images are portraits of Warner, Wright, and Thom families, including Mary Lea Warner, Clintonia Wright (May Thomas), Eliza Lea Warner Wright, William Henry DeCourcy Wright, Ella Lea Wright Thom, and DeCourcy Wright Thom. There are also several portraits of unidentified men.
Note: Related materials are found at the Maryland Historical Society in the Prints and Photographs Division: PP121, the DeCourcy Wright Thom Collection; and in the Manuscripts Department: MS. 1467, the Wright Papers; MS. 2339, the Thom Papers, 1858-1934; and MS. 2416, the Wright-May-Thom Family Papers.
Note: There are related materials which are not yet established as Prints and Photographs (PP) collections: Accession 76698 included an album which documents a house at 1009 N. Charles St. in Baltimore ca. 1915, the home of Douglas Huntly Gordon (d. 1918). Although the album was found, it does not seem to have been added to PP121. Related materials are also held in the Wright-May-Thom Collection, Accession 74584/75835 (Graphics Box 63).
The photographs are housed within one box in the Cased Photographs Collection, arranged by catalog number.

RE:Hardware pathfinder sought
If anyone here is successfully running both PC-BSD & Linux Mint on PC having two dedicated hard disk drives (no emulator stuff), using any Phenom II X4 CPU, without any Intel products in your build...I need your advice to choose compatible CPU, motherboard/chipset, graphic card, etc.
I'm running Debian 6.0 on my main system. I have a test system/backup Dual Core Atom mini-itx running dual boot with Arch Linux amd64 OpenBSD current amd64. I have a very old laptop running Debian 6.0 and dual booting OpenBSD i386. and a newer laptop running Debian 6.0 dual booting with WinXP. I have another system with an all-in-one mobo that I put FreeBSD 8.2 on and tried the enlightenment desktop (enlightenment e17 was not very stable) I will probably try Arch with the new gnome 3.0 on the all-in-one mobo.
Some of these systems I have been able to put together for $170 but I watch for deals, put them together myself and shy away from high power bleeding edge hardware. In my opinion the best bang for the buck are the all in one mobos with embeded cpu (I bought an Asus C3 Terminator system for $45 that happily ran Slackware with an xfce4 desktop). Again, that was 45 dollar for a case, powersupply and all-in-one mobo. I added a recertified hard drive and dvd burner for another 50.
Biostar has a $62 mobo with embeded cpu and openchrome graphics that will run what you have mentioned but it will not be lightening fast or run flightgear flight simulator. It is enough for the base systems you are talking about.
If you want a higher end system I think Directron bundles together systems at a decent price. Link here:http://www.directron.com/ho.html?_s_icmp=systemsale. I have had good luck with them but your mileage may vary.
If your are going to put something together yourself (It is really pretty easy) Newegg has alot of refurbished and openbox parts. This openbox system will run the default Mint, PC-BSD installs along with winxp but the graphics will not give smooth 3D accelleration needed by games: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16856115035R
I was replying to your previous similiar thread but found it a little hard to make suggestions as I am not sure if you are going to do any cpu intensive processing. To be honest most of the systems you want to run have the same applications. Gimp will run the same in PC-BSD or Mint
If you want the latest and greatest applications at the expense of stability run Arch
If you want applications that have been tested and patched with an eye to stability try Debian or Slackware.
If you want to learn Unix as opposed to Linux try OpenBSD or FreeBSD. You will learn very little with PC-BSD.
If you want to get some idea how the linux operating system works try Slackware. You will learn very little with Mint other than which package in synaptic to click on.
As far as hardware, unless you are planning to run multiple, threaded applications concurrently, you will probably not see much difference between a dual core and a quad-core cpu.

Well, to answer your question...
My uses are as follows:
1. Surf the net as safely and anonymously as possible.
2. Send full screen video files, youtube clips, movies, TV shows ect., from PC to my LCD TV/DVD recorder setup to watchand record (via component, composite, or s-video connectors). Main goal is to replace moneypit Comcast with Internet-TV freesites, like Hulu.
3. Convert PAL & SECAM TV shows and DVDs to NTSC format. Also use of 'screen capture' & 'frame grabber'.
4. Burn CDs and DVDs (including bootable ones) and copy them.
5. Manipulate photos using Photoshos CS3 and GIMP.
6. Light word processing using Word 2003, Abiword, etc.
7.Secure online shopping
8.Print out Google photos to B&W Laser & color inkjet printers.
Again, I'm not interested in software/OS advice, which is why I resisted detailing this before. I've already chosen all operating systems, and see no reason to reinvent the wheel. Linux Mint 10 will be primary OS; XP Pro SP2 with BrowserLinux (on partition) is secondary; and PC-BSD 8.1 is tertiary OS.
In addition, I'll trial FortressLinux, Ultimate Edition, PinguyOS and various live CDs like Vatlator. Don't need any more operating systems...my plate is full. This post is solely for suggestions of hardware that will be compatible with Linux Mint 10, XP Pro, and PC-BSD.
This is how far I've gotten with hardware:
case: full-size tower...maybe Antec?
CPU: Phenom II x4...or Athlon II x4 as 2nd choice.
motherboard/chipset: ATX form factor. Non-integrated type. As many expansion slots as possible. Dual-BIOS (Gigabyte? Asus?). Support of 'fully buffered ECC RAM' & 'hard disk autodetection'. At least one PCIe slot. SATA2. eSATA. FireWire. USB 2.0. Gigabit ethernet.
Hard drives: three HDDs, probably Western Digital. HDD#1 is regular/internaltype, 500GB, dedicated to Linux Mint 10; HDD#2 is SATA mobile rack, probable 750GB for XP Pro SP2 +BrowserLinux on partition; HDD#3 is SATA mobile rack, 500GB, for PC-BSD 8.1.
Floppy drive: Apparently XP Pro requires it in emergency.
Optical drive: Plextor PX880SA
DVD burner: All format DVD/CD combo
Graphic card: nVIDIA I guess.
TV tuner: whatever works with all three operating systems.
Sound card: Asus Xonar D2, if possible!
man mencoder
Linux. Wine does NOT run on most BSDs.
Oko posted while I was scripting a reply but I think we will both say the same thing.
You have 2 requirements that take a fair amount of processing
1) Converting Videos
2) Editing photos
Secure Internet surfing is somewhat of an oxymoron and paradoxically, the more obscure your operating system the more "security" you will have. The same applies to online shopping. Most vendors cater to encrypted "https" online ordering and I would suggest that the vendors web site is the weak link in the process. What you can do at your end is not save any passwords, encrypt your swap space and if wireless use wpa. When you talk to BSD users IMHO their focus is on the security of the entire system. Desktop users are sometimes concerned about the integrity and security of their own data and tend to want the most secure brower available. What is your focus when you talk about security?
One feature that you did not mention is if you will need flash video. My Online banking system uses it to generate confirmatory images. The BSD's need a linux based wrapper script for flash or use Gnash which is a cpu hog. If you search for security holes and flash you find that it is not very secure. If you want secure web surfing consider either not using flash or using a flash blocker browser plugin.
As far as hardware the video card will be the deciding factor and PC-BSD will will be the limiting factor. Both Mint and PC-BSD use xorg. I believe that Nvidea provides a FreeBSD/PC-BSD xorg driver so this would be your best bet. If you go AMD/ATI you should stick to the X3000 or earlier. I can't vouch for how well the Closed Source Nvidea drivers work and be aware that the xorg developers are reverse engineering the Nvidea driver. The xorg developers have been adding linux specific features to Intel and ATI drivers that have yet to be implemented in the BSD's although PC-BSD has put a developers bounty on KMS.
Any of the systems will word process, burn dvd/cd's and print although your choice of printer will matter.
I would be inclined to use 2 separate systems: one for converting videos and editing photos and feeding the videos to the LCD TV, and a less powerful system for surfing, printing, emails etc.
Last edited by shep; 18th May 2011 at 01:50 AM. Reason: Left out a period
As mentioned, I've already researched software/operating systems. Those few questions I have yet to find answers to I may post later, but again, this post is only for hardware guidance. Getting a home PC is my priority, and I cannot start to acquire components until I solve the PC-BSD obstacle.
No, flash video is not needed for PC-BSD, as this is not my first choice for highly secure OS. FortressLinux and the various LiveCDs (Vatlator, Polippix, Amnesiac Incognito, etc.) were chosen to trial for that.
So back to hardware! I now know exactly what all components will work with XP Pro (pretty much anything/everything!), and I've found reasonably good list of brands/model numbers of motherboards,chipsets, CPUs, graphic cards, sound cards, NICs, etc., that will run Linux Mint 10 at:
Since XP Pro can handle anything listed at this link, all I need now is to find out which brands/model numbers of components listed here that PC-BSD 8.2 can handle. Once I have consensus of components that will work for Linux Mint 10, XP Pro, and PC-BSD 8.2, I can draw up procurement list, begin tracking them down, and passing them on to custom-build shop. PC-BSD 8.2 is the last holdout, current bottleneck, and sole reason for this post...useful (i.e. specific) hardware recommendations are welcomed!
Well now...
So far as I know, both Linux and XP Pro can access Internet-TV sites, so whether or not PC-BSD can is of no importance. That is the benefit of having three OSs...if one cannot handle something, the others likely can.
PhotoShop CS3 is for XP Pro. GIMP is for Linux. I will look into 'GraphicsMagic' for PC-BSD. Thanks for the tip!
Word 2003 is for XP Pro. Abiword is for Linux. Don't know if PC-BSD has word processing software or not. Wine supposedly runs Word 2003 on Xandros Linux, and if XP Pro ever goes into catastrophic failure, I may pursue that, but until then, I'm not interested in Wine.
As for secure online shopping, refer to "safe and anonymous". While totally secure may not be "theoretically possible", this to comes in many degrees, depending on how much effort one is willing to engage.
For B&W laser printers and color inkjet printers, I require they are able to handle Linux Mint, XP Pro and PC-BSD. Next they are not ink gluttons, nor require outrageously overpriced refills (inkjet printers must have separate cartridges for each color). Lastly, absolutely no combo-crap...I want printer only (i.e. no fax, copier, etc.).
I originally wanted ATI/AMD graphics card, but everyone on other forums said I had to go nVIDIA, or else forget about Linux and BSD. Now you say the exact opposite! Plus 'shep' says opposite to you! I'm beginning to think you BSD aficionados have no idea exactly what graphic cards PC-BSD will actually use, and are just guessing! Or are you just playing at 'confuse the newbie'?
I can find pretty much anything on internet shopping sites, but need to narrow this down tospecific brands and model numbers. Trying to find generic TV tuner cards only by certain chips is likely waste of time.
GIMP and Abiword are definitely available for BSD, both are open source and use the GTK+ toolkit on X11.
Those of us using OpenBSD/NetBSD have no proprietary graphics drivers, and speaking for myself I wouldn't use them if they existed.. proprietary code in kernel space is a recipe for disaster.
Insulting people because you're unable to do your own research won't get you anywhere.. asking for a list of compatible hardware is flawed, a computer is made up of a lot of different components.. it is up to you to find a system with those components, people can only give you their preferences.
"asking for list of compatible hardware is flawed"
When the day comes that PC-BSD (or any other BSD) can claim to run on almost any brand/model number of any component, as XP Pro does, then your statement holds up. Until then, I'll assume you're joking. I know for certain not all brands/model numbers of graphic cards will work on PC-BSD. Some work excellent, some sorta work, others don't work at all. I suspect the same holds true for sound cards, NICs, and who knows what other components! As one doing custom-build and supplying most of the components, I need to know which specific brands and model numbers of motherboards/chipsets, CPUs, graphic cards, etc. are known to work excellent, so I can avoid them that only sorta work, and the crap that don't work at all. So far as I see, the only way to insure this is some sort of list. This has absolutely nothing to do with people's personal "preferences". It about what works, what kinda/sorta works, and what won't work at all!
"you're unable to do your own research"
I learned to research using the book "Google and Other Search Engines". After couple years of practice, I've about 75% success rate. I found all needed hardware info for XP Pro in an hour. Found all needed info on BEOS, Haiku, eComStation (and other OS I've passed on) within day to three weeks.
I sarted research in late December, and still no progress on PC-BSD. That is totally ridiculous.
PC-BSD is FreeBSD, you're not trying hard enough.
FreeBSD, like many of the BSD projects, includes many drivers for a wide range of hardware from a wide range of vendors.. covering a wide range of chipsets, and revisions of said chipsets.
The best way to tell if any operating system works with your hardware is to try it, driver man pages tend to document chipset and rarely product names, and sometimes a product name stays the same while the chipset is radically altered or replaced entirely.
FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD works on i386 systems as old as the i486, supporting ancient ISA NE2000 cards, all the way up to i7 and equivalent AMD with 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet.
PC-BSD may have a custom kernel configuration, read their documentation and see what hardware they recommend.. in fact, the commercial company backing that project sells complete systems running PC-BSD.
If you want to continue being helplessly difficult, you'll find BSD is not for you.
Vetus, It appears to me that you have put alot of effort into this but speaking for myself, I do not understand the rationale to having super home pc running a gazillion operating systems. As you are starting to find out (and was mentioned in earlier posts) both PC-BSD and Mint run Gimp and Abiword. For that matter Gimp and Abiword run on WinXP
You also will have an extremely complex boot scheme (grub, grub2, lilo or freebsd bootloader in PC-BSD) that will cause you significant headaches. My advice (you can take or leave it) is to set up a system that you use to work and a second one to try out different OS's. You will break something at sometime - hopefully it will not be on the system that has data that you value. The second one will also give you an opportunity to setup a home network, network printer, network storage, music server etc. The second one can be very cheap and does not need to be running "overkill on processor and ram"
Anotherl point, when you generate document say using Mint/Abword it would be nice to be able to manipulate it in WinXP MS Office. In my opinion OpenOffice/LibreOffice documents are more compatible with MS office. Both Mint/PC-BSD will have OpenOffice or it's fork Libreoffice
Lastly, very few individuals in these forum use PC-BSD. The forum regulars are much more likely to use FreeBSD as a minimal install and then add only the applications that they intend to run on that particular machine - ie "keep it simple s****" You might want to see if the PC-BSD forums will give you a specific video card to use but be aware the key is actually the chip set that the card uses.

A Graphic of the Top-Performing Electronic Medical Records Products
FrontRunners quadrants highlight the top software products for North American small businesses. All products in the quadrant are top performers. Small businesses can use FrontRunners to make more informed decisions about what software is right for them.
To create this quadrant, we evaluated over 335 Electronic Medical Records products. Those with the top scores for their capability and value made the quadrant.
Scores are based largely on reviews from real software users, along with other product performance details (e.g., what features they offer, how many customers they have).
Nope, Products in Any Quadrant May Fit Your Needs
Every product in this quadrant offers a balance of capability (how much the products can do) and value (whether they're worth their price/cost) that makes them stand out in the race for small business software success.
FrontRunners has four sub-quadrants:
Depending on the specific needs of a software buyer, a product in any of these sub-quadrants could be a good fit.
Why? To be considered for the Electronic Medial Records FrontRunners, a product needed a minimum of 20 user reviews, a minimum capability user rating score of 3.0 and a minimum value user rating score of 3.0. In most cases, we evaluate hundreds of products and feature 20-25 as FrontRunners; all products that qualify as FrontRunners are top performing products in their market.
For some buyers, a specific FrontRunners sub-quadrant might be best. For example, practices that aren't planning on using non-essential EMR functionalities, such as voice and handwriting recognition, may prefer a solution with a lower capability score. On the other hand, practices with greater needs may opt for multi-featured products on the right half of the quadrant.
You can download the full FrontRunners for Electronic Medial Records report here. It contains individual scorecards for each product on the Frontrunners quadrant.
Products Are Scored Based on User Reviews and Other Data
You can find the full FrontRunners methodology here, but the gist is that products are scored in two areas, Capability and Value.
They also have to offer a core set of functionality—for example, they must be able to create and store digital patient records, generate E/M codes, provide decision support, retain ONC-ATCB certification (meaning the system meets standards set by government health officials) and more.
From there, user reviews and other product performance details, such as the product's customer base and the features it offers, dictate the Capability and Value scores. Capability is plotted on the x-axis, and Value is plotted on the y-axis.

Just Follow Our External Usage Guidelines
Check out the FrontRunners External Usage Guidelines when referencing FrontRunners content. Except in digital media with character limitations, the following disclaimer MUST appear with any/all FrontRunners reference(s) and graphic use:
FrontRunners scores and graphics are derived from individual end-user reviews based on their own experiences, vendor-supplied information and publicly available product information; they do not represent the views of Gartner or its affiliates.
Providers listed as Runners Up were considered for inclusion in the quadrant, but were ultimately not included for one or more reasons: they did not have enough reviews; they did not meet the reviews score minimum; they did not meet the ultimate Value and Capability minimum scores; or they did not meet our functionality requirements for the market.
Buyers searching for electronic medical records software (EMRs) have hundreds of options to choose from. We've created this buyer's guide to help you understand EHR systems and evaluate which software is the right fit for your practice.
Here's what this guide will cover:
What Is Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Software?
Benefits of EMRs
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Costs & Return on Investment
Market Trends to Understand
Software Vendor Market Share
Important Considerations
Electronic medical records (EMRs) automate the clinical operations of healthcare providers. They provide digital storage of patient charts, and include functionality to track patient demographics, histories, SOAP notes, medications, test results and more.
Electronic medical records are also referred to as electronic health records (EHRs), digital medical records or computerized medical records. By generally accepted definition, an EMR is an electronic record of patients' medical histories, created and stored at a single location. Meanwhile, an EHR is the comprehensive collection of patient medical records created and stored at multiple locations.
While there is a technical distinction between the two, buyers and vendors use the terms interchangeably. Review our article "EHR vs. EMR—What's the Difference?" for an in-depth look at the differences.
The following are the minimum benefits that should be realized with a successful implementation:
Improved efficiency. Physician practices should find themselves with more time to focus on patient care as they eliminate paperwork, speed up medical charting, receive lab test results electronically and prescribe electronically.
More time for more patients. As physicians and support staff spend less time tracking paperwork, they should be able to see more patients. EMRs should also allow physicians to complete and document patient encounters more quickly, further increasing their ability to see more patients.
Increased collections. Electronic patient records provide physicians with the necessary documentation to support claims sent to insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid. Integrated features for E&M coding also help providers code visits appropriately and confidently. Of course, seeing more patients should naturally increase collections as well. This is one of the top benefits of electronic health records.
Improved quality of care. Features such as integrated drug databases, symptom checks and drug interaction verification help physicians prescribe the correct medications and dosages. EMRs can also provide prompts to physicians based on inputs of patient chief complaints and/or risky demographic factors. This is another one of the many advantages of electronic health records systems.
Software Advice is currently collecting feedback from EHR users about the top benefits and challenges of their systems. We're conducting an online survey, which displays aggregated results in real-time. You can view the results, and users can participate in the survey, by clicking here.
There are several hundred electronic medical record/electronic health record systems that collectively address the needs of just about every medical specialty and clinic size. For example, EMR vendors have customized systems for outpatient care, inpatient care, solo practices, enterprise groups, primary care, chronic care management, mental health, ophthalmology, nephrology, chiropractic and so on.
With so many medical EMR companies catering to so many specialties, physicians face a big challenge as they determine which medical software is right for their needs. However, we find the majority of practices we speak with fall under one of these common categories:
Primary care MDs/DOs and related specialists. These buyers work at private practices that provide internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, Ob/Gyn, cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, urology etc. These buyers' various needs are addressed by broad systems with specialty-specific templates.
Specialists with other designations (DC, OD, PT, PhD, LCSW etc.). These buyers include chiropractors, psychologists, therapists, counselors and optometrists. They typically have straightforward needs that are met by affordable, specialty-specific systems.
Small practices. These buyers work at practices with one or two providers. They are usually moving away from paper charts and want to prescribe electronically and integrate with labs.
Mid-sized to large practices. With anywhere from a handful to 100+ physicians, these buyers are often looking to eliminate paperwork and improve efficiency. They may also want to integrate with other healthcare networks' systems, track information across several locations and provide consistency of care across providers.
Inpatient care organizations. These buyers work for hospitals and acute care centers that need to manage patient rooms/beds, assigned nurses and physician rounds. They usually require robust EMR systems for hospitals that can integrate with a variety of other applications.
The expected benefits of any electronic health record system are to improve patient care, lower administrative costs and improve billings and collections. The primary measures of effectiveness are:
EMR system costs will vary widely and depend primarily on the size of the practice and the deployment model preferred (on-premise vs. Web-based). On-premise systems typically require costs for licenses, servers, implementation, training and ongoing technical support. Support costs are typically 15-20 percent of the upfront licensing cost per year. Implementation and training costs vary widely, but are often as high as the licensing costs.
Web-based systems typically have lower upfront costs that cover training and implementation. Ongoing fees paid on a monthly basis cover licensing, technical support and upgrades.
Today, increased competition among vendors has applied downward pricing pressure on the market. Furthermore, technology developments such as Software as a Service (SaaS) have led to alternative, budget-friendly pricing models. There are even free EMR software systems that are supported by alternative revenue streams like advertising. And finally, government stimulus programs such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) make EMR investments even more feasible for small and large practices.
ONC-ATCB certification. In 2009, President Obama signed ARRA into law. A major component of this bill is the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which includes $19 billion to incentivize medical offices to adopt electronic healthcare records. Providers that make "meaningful use" of "certified" electronic health record systems are eligible to receive up to $44,000 or $63,750 in reimbursements in the form of increased Medicare or Medicaid premiums. Physicians have a mandate to become meaningful users by 2015. Those that fail to qualify will face decreased Medicare and Medicaid payments.
The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology, part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is responsible for heading up this initiative. They have selected organizations to certify electronic health records from medical vendors. These organizations have been titled "ONC-Authorized Testing and Certification Bodies," or ONC-ATCBs. To see a list of certified products, visit our ONC-ATCB EHR buyer's guide. We also have a list of CCHIT-certified EMRs. (Until January 2014, CCHIT was perhaps the foremost ONC-ATCB. They are no longer certifying new products, but previous certifications are still valid.)
In 2013, Software Advice analyzed data from tens of thousands of interactions with EHR software buyers to gauge the impact of the HITECH Act on EHR purchases. We published a three-year comparison on the motivations for software purchases. Click here to read the full report.
Mobile device support. Mobile EHR software is proliferating quickly and health care providers are eagerly adopting it. As physicians aim to accomplish more from outside the office and improve mobility within the office, iPhones, iPads and Android devices are becoming increasingly prevalent in the workplace. Some of the top EMR vendors are catching on to this increased demand and we expect to see more iOS and Android-compatible systems coming to market. Several vendors already offer iPad EMRs. For example, MediTouch is a leading electronic medical record company in mobile healthcare IT.
Software as a Service (SaaS). We find roughly 25 percent of medical practices are interested only in Web-based systems, while another 50 percent of are open to the model during early stages of their research. As cloud computing catches on in other industries, it is emerging quickly in health care as well. Developments in HIPAA compliance, data security and encryption, server reliability, and data backup make Web-based EMRs viable alternatives in medicine. Furthermore, many healthcare providers are avoiding large upfront costs required for client-server systems and preferring monthly payments for hosted systems.
Because these systems are accessible on any device with a Web browser, many Web-based solutions are also optimized for use on the smaller screens of mobile devices, incoroprating design elements such as larger buttons for ease of use. For more on design considerations, visit our guide on EHR interfaces.
EHR vendor market share is notoriously difficult to pin down. However, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regularly publishes data from meaningful use (MU) attestations under the EHR Incentive Programs. Using MU attestations as a proxy for market share has limitations, but allows us to provide a valuable assessment of the current state of the market.
Software Advice analyzed hundreds of thousands of attestations to determine which vendors' systems are most used by providers attesting to meaningful use. Epic, Allscripts, eClinicalWorks and NextGen Healthcare lead the ambulatory care market, but the market remains highly fragmented, with nearly 40 percent of providers using a system that doesn't rank in the top 10 in terms of market share. Read the full report: EHR Meaningful Use Market Share IndustryView | March 2014.
Security. The most common concern we hear regards data security. Patient privacy and HIPAA compliance are typically on the front of providers' minds, so buyers will want to make sure that the EMR is implemented properly and that standard security measures are in place. Vendors are well aware of this concern and have proper data encryption technology for both on-premise and Web-based systems.
User adoption. A second consideration is user adoption, primarily among providers. Some providers find EMRs difficult to use, often because they are accustomed to working with paper charts. Most user adoption issues can be solved with adequate training. The amount necessary typically depends on the user's level of tech savviness.
Integrated software suites vs. best-of-breed solutions. The decision most doctors will need to face is whether to implement a standalone electronic medical records system or an integrated suite with billing and scheduling applications. Buyers who implement standalone computerized medical records often do so if: they have unique needs their vendor cannot address; outsource billing with no plans to bring billing back in house; or, they have made a large upfront investment in a billing and scheduling system they do not wish to replace.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

In June of 2001, the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on AIDS drew attention to the intensifying HIV/AIDS crisis. In the Declaration of Commitment adopted at this meeting and the subsequent resolution adopted at the 2006 United Nations High Level Review Meeting on AIDS, governments made significant statements and commitments to address the epidemic, including targets that were specific to young people.
The year is now 2011 and these targets have not yet been achieved. While many countries have put forward significant efforts to address the HIV epidemic among young people with some notable successes, much, much more needs to be done, particularly related to sustainable funding for youth and the creation of accountability mechanisms. Young people demand that governments take action on what they promised and prioritize the following areas that are important for young people around the world:
Achieve Universal Access to ALL HIV prevention technologies through integrated SRHR and HIV programming, including comprehensive sexuality education, access to male and female condoms, youth-friendly HIV counselling and testing, harm reduction programs, and treatment as HIV prevention, among others
The HIV world must acknowledge the proportion of new infections among young people and respond accordingly by ensuring access to every prevention tool such as youth led comprehensive sexuality education, including to out-of-school youth, HIV testing and counseling, male and female condoms, needle exchange programs, male circumcision, Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) as prevention of HIV infection, and other new technologies. Governments must work to remove barriers to these prevention tools, including but not limited to age restrictions, lack of confidentiality and privacy; providers who are judgmental of young people; stigma and discrimination associated with seeking the services; cost; and lack of access to transportation, among others. Further, as the role of ART becomes an increasingly important part of the prevention agenda, young people must be a central part of these developments.
Engage young people at the country level to take ownership of the HIV response
Young people have critical and prominent roles to play in broader HIV dialogues and decision-making beyond issues relating specifically to young people. While youth empowerment and participation has improved over the last few years at the regional level, opportunities for meaningful youth participation are still lacking at the country level. Promote sustainable partnerships between generations, established leaders and stakeholders, and invest in capacity-building of young people.
Empower young women and girls to take ownership of their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Ensure that young women and girls can exercise their right to have control over their sexuality in order to increase their ability to protect themselves from HIV transmission, all forms of violence and all kinds of discrimination. Protect, guarantee and increase awareness of young women's rights. Enhance young women's participation in decision-making bodies and processes and guarantee their access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services.
Support integrated funding of sexual and reproductive health and HIV interventions for youth
As resources are invested in HIV programs and services for young people, they are often separate from those supporting sexual and reproductive health programs. This separation of programming leads to missed opportunities for maximizing human and monetary resources and reaching large numbers of young people. Governments should provide funding that supports integrated programming for youth to leverage efforts to prevent HIV and promote sexual and reproductive health and rights for young people.
Support stronger partnerships between young key-affected populations[1] and the HIV response
Communities of young key-affected populations, particularly young people living with HIV, have a crucial role to play in the AIDS response. Governments must support emerging leadership of young key-affected populations, the integration of YPLHIV within the positive and youth communities, and their meaningful engagement in policy and program development, implementation, and evaluation in order to drive the next stage of the response.
Acknowledge and respond to the diversity of young people
Young people are diverse and have unique and changing needs with respect to sexual and reproductive rights, including the right to prevention, treatment, care and support. Given their diversity, young people require particular interventions, which may differ from their older counterparts, and peers, regardless of gender. Policy makers and program developers must acknowledge how critical it is to fully understand these changing needs and to respond appropriately, supporting the health, rights and dignity of all young people.
Address the legal, policy and social barriers that young key-affected populations face beyond prevention, treatment, care and support needs
Young sex workers, young people who use drugs, young men who have sex with men, young women, young transgenders, married adolescents, young people living with HIV, out-of-school youth and young migrants and refugees bear a significant burden of the HIV epidemics across the world. In order to make independent, informed decisions and to access the fullest range of HIV services, they must live in supportive households, communities and countries, where social norms, policies, and laws protect their rights. Decriminalization of key-affected populations and removal of arbitrary age restrictions for accessing HIV prevention services, including harm reduction programs, must be ensured in every country in the world.
Include focused programming for specific youth populations most affected by HIV– not just generalized programming for the country's "youth"
Building on UNAIDS' motto of "know your epidemic," countries should know which young people are at-risk for HIV infection and apply the best evidence-informed programs to reach them. Countries should commit substantial resources to these programs and ensure that money is spent on young people who are most affected by HIV. Further, to know the epidemic, governments must collect and report on data that is disaggregated by age and sex within existing key-affected populations.
Ensure that the socio-economic needs of young people living with HIV are addressed, including the availability and sustainability of ARVs and treatment options
Most young people around the world do not have a stable job. Young people are often in school, assisting the family with chores and work, dependent on their families for food, and shelter, and may be starting to seek employment to earn income. Young people living with HIV often carry a heavier burden of looking for finances to cover costs for treatment of HIV and co-infections, including TB and Hep C. Further, YPLHIV often lack access to insurance plans and are unable to seek support from their families due to fear of isolation and rejection. Governments should identify and support mechanisms to increase access to treatment for YPLHIV, reflecting the treatment target of 15 million people by 2015.
We respectfully ask governments to redouble their efforts to implement and support HIV programs for young people and make due on their promises. In order to achieve the points mentioned above, governments must involve and support emerging young leaders in HIV-related decision-making processes.
[1] Young Key Affected Populations (YKAP) is defined as young people living with HIV (YPLHIV), young men who have sex with men, young women, LGBTQ youth (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, queer), young sex workers, young people who use drugs, young migrants, refugees, and internally displaced persons, young people in detention, indigenous young people, and young persons with disabilities.

Gold And Silver Fleets Decided As Gullisara and Saetta Fight For The Melges 24 World Championship Lead
2 August 2012
Today's Melges 24 Worlds action on Lake Garda was fast, furious and fantastic fun. With six races now complete the discard came into play and the Gold and Silver fleets were decided. Up to six more races are scheduled so the battle continues to rage as the teams attempt to gain any advantage they can whilst avoiding potentially very costly mistakes.
The final two qualifying races were sailed in a shifty Ora southerly wind that put the tacticians well and truly through their paces. With massive gains and losses to be made it was all about managing risk as effectively as possible.
Tonight reigning 2011 European Champion Gullisara stands at the top of the ranking and appears be frightened by nothing. For Carlo Fracassoli's crew the term "conservative" has no meaning and their often daring tactical choices always seemed to reap rewards, striking fear into the heart of their opponents. A third place followed by a win keeps them at the top of the table by just a single point from their fellow Italian aboard Saetta. Having been able to discard their 19 points garnered by fouling the Z-flag in race one, Seatta's Alberto Bolzan and Nathan Wilmot, still aspire to the title and have Gullisara in their sights.
Moth World Champion Bora Gulari, aboard West Marine Rigging New England Ropes, claimed victory in the fifth race and followed that with a fourth place to claim the final place on the podium. Disqualification from the third race has clearly not dented the determination of the American who may be nine points behind the leaders but is still definitely in play. As is Riccardo Simoneschi's Audi Ultra supported by Eberhard & Co, who sailed with great consistency all day and goes into the second half of the championship in fourth overall, three points behind Gulari and a single point ahead of Christopher Rast sailing EFG Bank and Flavio Favini helming Franco Rossini's Blu Moon. Japan's Kan Yamamada, sailing Mamma Aiuto! scored a tenth in race four but went onto a second in race six and now lies in seventh overall.
Andrea Rachelli's Altea, who led the standings early in the championship, won his division in race five, but a fifteenth place in race six drops him down to eighth place overall. The other overall race winner today was the Estonian team of Peter Saraskin aboard Lumi, but this brief moment of brilliance couldn't make up for an otherwise moderate performance so he is in 20th overall.
In the Corinthian standings Lorenzo Gemini's SIV Arborea is confirmed as leader, but in hot pursuit are Marrakesh Express, led by Augusto Poropat, who put in a solid 5, 3 day and is now ahead the Norwegian Storm Capital Sail Racing led by Oyvind Jahre and Estonia's Tonu Toniste. Without doubt the two best Corinthian performances today came from Francesco Barbi's Etabeta and Geoff Carveth sailing Miles Quinton's Gill Race Team who each won both races in their groups.
With the competitors now divided into Gold and Silver Fleets it will be another early start tomorrow as racing is scheduled to start in the northern Peler wind at 08.00. The committee reserves the right to run up to two races in the Peler on a single course with the fleets starting consecutively and in total they aim to achieve three races tomorrow with the afternoon races back on the two courses north and south in the southerly Ora.
Once again tomorrow it will be possible to follow all the action live from the race course thanks to live streaming sponsored by B Plan Sport and Events. Coverage will start just before 08.00 Italian time at www.bpse.it
Events like the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship are not possible without the most generous support of the event sponsors led by the Municipality of Comune di Nago Torbole and including the Regional Authority of Trentino; TrentoDoc, partner of Circolo Vela Torbole whose excellent selection of sparkling wines will be enjoyed by all; Trentingrana, whose cheese is made using milk exclusively from the Trentino area; InGarda, the touristic company supporting visitors to Lark Garda; and technical sailing clothing supplier Marinepool.

– Hundreds of South Florida Democrats gathered Saturday night, united by a burning desire: to get rid of Gov. Rick Scott.
They're divided, though, on the best way to do it.
Many said they are waiting for the man they view as the white-haired hope, former Republican and former Gov. Charlie Crist, to make official what everyone expects, a candidacy for the 2014 Democratic nomination for governor. Crist's supporters see him as a sure winner.
"He will be a major force for change in the state of Florida. We need someone who cares. He has just been a superb governor and a superb human being," said Rabbi Joel Levine of Temple Judea in Palm Beach Gardens. "We're only for Charlie."
Others want a lifelong Democrat, former Florida Senate Minority Leader Nan Rich, of Weston, who they regard as a more pure representation of party principles than the Republican-turned-independent-turned Democrat Crist.
"The values that she has demonstrated in her years in Tallahassee prove her to be a true Democrat," said Rick Neuhoff, who lives west of Boynton Beach. To those who support the newer Democrat, "I tell them don't be a hypo-Crist."
He said he thinks Crist's appeal is largely because "compared to a Rick Scott, he's the lesser of two evils. At the end of the day, Charlie is a moderate Republican."
The looming Crist-Rich contest was a big part of the buzz among attendees at the Palm Beach County Democratic Party's annual Truman-Kennedy-Johnson fundraising dinner. Technically, it's still speculative, because Crist hasn't officially announced his candidacy.
Crist continued his non-committal posture Saturday evening, telling reporters as he schmoozed and posed for pictures with Democratic activists that he had no intention of making news at the West Palm Beach Marriott, and declining to say just when he might make an announcement.
He said he has been warmly welcomed by Democrats and isn't having trouble explaining his party switch. "They get it, especially Democrats. I think they understand."
The event illustrated just how hungry Democrats are to go after Crist. It was a sellout, attracting about 450 people — so many, two portable bars had to be removed from the back of the ballroom to accommodate more tables — and party leaders estimated a take of at least $100,000 by the time all the checks come in.
"One year, one month and seven days from now, Nov. 4, 2014, Gov. Rick Scott is going to be history," declared Terrie Rizzo, chairwoman of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party.
Allison Tant, chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, said her party's nominee would win in November 2014.
"Florida voters are not going to step back and forget this trauma that we've gone through at the hands of Rick Scott," said Tant, who said the opposition party has been "cannibalized by the most corrosive elements" of its base.
Rich said Scott is making her job as a Democratic candidate easier.
"We really owe Rick Scott a debt of gratitude. I don't think anybody could do a better job than he has of convincing voters that we need a Democrat in Florida," she said.
For County Commissioner Mary Lou Berger, Crist is the better choice.
"I thought he was a good governor," Berger said. "And I think he can beat Gov. Scott."
Her predecessor, former County Commissioner Burt Aaronson, who escorted Crist into the pre-dinner cocktail reception, was even more effusive.
"It's inevitable that Charlie Crist is going to win," Aaronson said.
But Linda Rosenthal of Boca Raton, president of the 200-member Democratic Club of Boca Raton and Delray Beach, said the party elders who think Crist is their savior are wrong.
"The people who get the vote out, who work on the ground, who make the phone calls and knock on doors really, really are supporting Nan. And we're the ones who are going to get the vote out, and we are the ones who are going to be supporting the true Democrat," she said.
Still, Rosenthal said she doesn't think a spirited Crist-Rich contest would make it harder for Democrats to win the election the way some past Democratic primary fights have left bitterness.
"Because of the terrible state of Florida, the terrible situation that Florida is in, I think it is going to be very easy to get a Democratic candidate elected, no matter who that candidate is," she said.
Party secretary Diedre Newton agreed. "We're all just excited to get rid of Rick Scott, no matter who it is."

This time of year marks the long-awaited winter break for students.
Schools pause for several weeks, allocating rest and relaxation following a prolonged first semester.
For a multitude of Jewish families, this time off calls for a sojourn to Florida – perhaps to visit bubbie and zaide who have already migrated to the warm climate – or to a chic Caribbean island where the weather is guaranteed and the resort is an assured paradise.
I myself am an abiding participant in this winter getaway ritual. After all, who would give up an opportunity to escape from the cold winter to a destination of sand and sun?
Nevertheless, upon the onset of my annual vacation, I have begun considering various means to make this year's excursion more relevant, namely, by integrating volun-tourism-related activities.
Volun-tourism is a phenomenon defined as travel that incorporates volunteering expeditions for charitable causes.
No community is spared from encountering periods of struggle and difficulty. For this reason, this winter break I challenged myself to make a difference and demonstrate my support for others in need.
Whether you and your family are jet setting to a destination, or are unwinding in the comfort of your own home, there are countless ways to give back and take social action.
Upon researching volunteer opportunities in Miami, I stumbled across one that I plan to explore during my stay in Florida.
Christmas Day marks the Jewish Community Volunteer Day in Miami, that allows for Jewish people to offer friendship and support to fellow non-Jews on their holiest of days. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation organizes events on this particular date.
Various projects run throughout the day. They include beautifying the area around the federation's community offices, visiting the elderly at nursing homes or similar facilities, or even preparing and serving meals and connecting with the homeless or the Salvation Army.
This event's success is completely reliant on the dedication of volunteers. Thus, if you find yourself in Miami on Dec. 25, I encourage you to accompany me among many others in a fix of volun-tourism, that will surely invigorate the lives of children and adults less fortunate than ourselves.
For those residing in Toronto over the winter break, there are similar ways to volunteer. One opportunity that I have come across numerous times is contributing time to Ve'ahavta, the Canadian Jewish Humanitarian Relief Committee, which operates a Jewish mobile response van.
In the name of community poverty relief, this non-profit operates an outreach van every Sunday through Thursday.
The van drives along the downtown corridor, where volunteers distribute sandwiches, coffee, donated clothing and other necessities to impoverished individuals.
Since Ve'ahavta is dependent on its volunteers to operate this charitable service, I definitely intend to participate in this expedition next time I find myself in Toronto.
Join me in making this year's winter break a humanitarian one. Assigning one day or two out of our holidays in the name of social action and justice may produce lasting impacts on the well-being of many people, not to mention the communities they inhabit.
