It is? WHS2011 has been fantastic for me. Perhaps whoever told you that needs to stop pretending Atoms are worthwhile processors.
I have a spare PC and am thinking of using it for back ups and streaming media to the PS3, I have a spare Windows 7 licence and an OEM licence for Windows Home Server 2011, which would people use? As stated PC will mainly be used for storing backups of the other PC's, torrents, some movie conversions and streaming to PS3.
Have read that the backup feature in WHS2011 is slow as hell so I would use another program I have to back up things
Posted 22 December 2012 - 03:34
I agree with remixed, either windows server 2008 r2 or windows server 2012
the home server iterations were always lacking and didn't run well in certain situations (like backups which you mentioned)
you could get what you need out of Windows 7 but some of the things wouldn't be as easy to set up as on windows server
Posted 22 December 2012 - 13:40

no you don't, both Windows 8 and Server 2012 have an anti-virus built in
$500 for a copy of 2012 "essentials" is a bit over the top for a home budget.
The lic he has for whs 2011 would work just fine for his needs - and yes there are a few replacements for drive extender, I use drive pool from stablebits, and its rock solid and only $20
And never had any issues with backups - are you trying to do them over wireless B or G while your running torrents over the same wireless network or something and running folding on your PC your trying to backup?

"wants to take 60GB just for itself"
And where did you come up with that? That is min install size if I recall, not what it uses.
With what you wouldn't need to use raid 10? why would you need to use raid 10 in a home setup for ever?? That is OVERKILL for storing anything in your home.. You do understand that RAID is not a backup!
What could you possible have in home network that could not survive an outage for restore from backup? If you are running raid 10 in the home - your wasting money IMHO! I just don't see how to justify it.

The scrappy Canadian broke down his gameplan to Bleacher Report:
"It's a competition, there's a ton of strategy involved, but at the same time, I'm not taking the coward's way out. I'm trying to beat a man up with my skills overall. I'm not trying to hold a guy up against the fence and grind them down. I'm trying to fight and be violent and I think (Pettis) is the same way. I think it's an exciting fight and we'd put on a good one."

For this week's analysis, I looked at "13th Grade: How Florida Schools Are Failing to Prepare Graduates for College" from the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting.
The issue explored by this article -- why Florida students are graduating from high school without being able to "read, write, or solve math problems well enough to take some college-level courses" -- is one with a variety of sources, none of which are without their controversies. This means that not only did the authors have to hunt for various types of statistics and information from a multitude of sources, but they also had to work hard to ensure that the facts they were using were all sound and reliable.
The authors had to know what to look for -- which means they had to brainstorm all the different types of sources that could explain this issue, and then hunt for relevant information and data. First of all, the authors use information regarding school records -- that more than half of high school graduates who took the college placement test in the 2010-2011 school year found out they had to take at least on remedial course in college to boost skill, for example. This required taking data from education departments and perhaps other sources across the state, specifically regarding college placement tests and demand for remedial courses. They reference things like the "Florida College System Readiness report"
Then, the authors explored economic data. One of the factors behind the crisis of remedial education at community and state colleges that they chose to discuss was the Great Recession. This means that they had to dissect relevant economic data in order to intelligently discuss the reasoning behind this argument, too.
The authors also assert that there is a disconnect between what students are learning in K-12 schools and what they need in order to be successful in college. For this section, they analyzed things like curriculum and graduation requirements, Florida's history of change and primary education reform, and more.
The authors of this article did not utilize many "online tools" in order to engage the reader. They did not include charts or anything to pictorially display the many statistics they write about in their article; the only images were headshots of the people quoted in the article. The article was accompanied by a radio report from State Impact Florida, though, which was kind of unique to see on a news organization's website. I like this combination of media forms; it was interesting to listen to the clip while reading the article.
The most notable work of the authors of this article seems to be research. They looked at a lot of different data and spoke with different people from a variety of sources. I'm sure they also did more than a little data analysis in computer programs like SPSS, that help statistics become a little bit clearer. Whereas they did not choose to use online tools, I would have appreciated a few graphics that really illustrated the basics of this issue. It was a long article with many blocks of text and a lot of numbers -- I think the statistics would have had more impact on me if I had seen them displayed graphically or visually rather than just read about them through text.

Bang and Olufsen: Design which lasts the distance
Pocket-lint had been arranging to interview Bang & Olufsen's most prolific of industrial designers over the decades, David Lewis, as part of Style Week. Sadly, Mr Lewis passed away on 8 November 2011 after a short illness in his adopted homeland of Denmark. Although Bang & Olufsen primarily works with freelance designers in order to keep their products fresh, it was Lewis who best represented the brand for over 35 years and helped make it the household name to aspire to for audio and home cinema technology. Today Pocket-lint looks back at some of Lewis's work and his ideas and inspirations as a designer.
UK born, Lewis was quick to move to Denmark after graduating from the Central School of Art and Design in London in 1960, and it wasn't long until his first brush with B&O. In 1965 he worked under Jacob Jensen who himself had created for the company before. There Lewis helped design his first Bang & Olufsen product, the Beolab 5000 system which consisted of an amplifier of the same name, the Beomaster 5000 radio tuner, BeoVox 5000 speakers and Beolab 2500 Cube high frequency speakers.
A professional standard system it was the classic teak, rosewood or oak and silver design with a slide rule motif that allowed the user the ergonomic pleasure of gliding the selectors across the face of the unit for volume, bass, balance and treble. It was Jacob Jensen's first design for Bang & Olufsen as well and it won him the iF Design award in 1967. It was a fabulous piece of kit in both look and feel as well as performance, but it wasn't an area of the market that B&O worked with again choosing to go more user-friendly from then onwards.
In 1968, Lewis moved on to work for, and with, Henning Moldenhawer, another designer that worked with B&O, and stayed there until 1980. Their first product for the company was the Beovision 600 television manufactured between 1970-72. It was a 17-inch set designed as the first TV meant for moving between rooms as the consumer chose. As such it had a wheeled stand as well as a handle on the side of the set for easy gripping. At the same time though, that handle could be stowed neatly to the body so that the set could look like a permanent fixture of a room rather than have the casual appearance of a transient object. It won B&O yet another iF Design award and became a Lewis-inspired icon.
Through the 1970s the familiar metal and wood image of Bang & Olufsen began to change but it was really from the 1980s, when Lewis began designing the majority of the company's products, that the new, more future look B&O emerged. Among tens of creations are the MX Series of televisions which were the first anywhere to incorporate loudspeakers directly beneath the screen; the Beocentre Overture - a flat aluminium mini-system with glass doors that opened as the the user approached, and the slender BeoLab 8000 speakers that have been copied ad infinitum ever since and that Lewis had initially dreamed up while chancing upon an organ pipe at a flea market.
"A TV without a picture is definitely not a plus when it comes to interior design," spoke Lewis once in an interview.
"As he sees it," wrote Lewis' right hand at his studio in Copenhagen, Torsten Valeur, "when it's off, a TV is a cross between an aquarium and an eye peering into people's living rooms. Once the set is turned off, the design becomes paramount. When the TV is on, what people look at is the quality of the programme being broadcast. Designing and creating a TV which also has a 'life' when turned off is the closest you can get today to giving consumers a good alternative to the empty aquarium."
Speakers were another bugbear for Lewis and the cause of some frustration according to his words in previous interviews.
"Our BeoLab range of loudspeakers is a revolt against indifference and heavy wooden boxes humming away in the corners of our homes, dictating the furnishings and the way we live.
"Who says a loudspeaker should be hidden away in the dark, if it sounds better the closer it is to you?
"BeoLab speakers have been shaped to stand out from your furniture and to blend in with it. That's why we use polished aluminium which takes its colour from its surroundings instead of dictating to them."
These ideas are epitomised most of all by the BeoLab 5 speakers as brought into production by Bang & Olufsen in September 2003 and still the top end of the loudspeaker range today. Standing a metre tall, cone-shaped and either available in black or white, they're as striking a work of art as they are a feat of engineering.
The acoustic lens technology combined with the 2500W of digital amplification means that you can place them almost anywhere in your living space and still receive superb stereo sound unlike most standard speakers which require positioning to create specific sweet spots. What's more, the speakers themselves will also tailor their output to match the acoustics of the room by listening back to the sound. Small wonder that you'd be looking at around £10,000 for a pair.
Despite such advanced inclusions though, it wasn't technology that Lewis craved. He believed in a company mantra that people should control the technology and not the other way around; that it should serve the user rather than be learned to be understood.
"People have been led to believe that high quality is synonymous with gadgetry and complexity. I believe that the less you complicate things, the more interesting people will find them.
"The problem with new technology is that it opens up so many opportunities. Instead of making life easier, it often makes it more complicated because people have more options than they need."
His ideas on the matter are embodied by products like the hugely successful BeoSound 9000 CD player featuring the automatic glass doors and six disc housing. The purpose was not to stuff your entire collection inside and rely on a complicated interface to try to find the track that you're after. Instead, it was intended as a family machine with the reality that there are only ever a small number of albums played on one hi-fi at anyone time. Each person loads their own and there they sit for the rest to see who is listening to what.
"So many manufactures are keen to use all the latest features of modern technology and make everything bigger and faster without necessarily making it better. I feel that many producers of home electronics and other new technology are too quick to update their products. They improve the product by 1 per cent and re-launch it immediately - in many cases it would make more sense to wait until they had discovered some new features which consumers really need."
Perhaps his persistence with the redesign of the traditional land line telephone in the form of the BeoCom 2 was as much a statement against unnecessary technological demands as any other with the belief that there's still the need of a house phone rather than a home of lost mobiles under sofa cushions or at the other end of the residence. He certainly went to town on the device with the fine print even stretching as far as the ring tone of the device itself inspired by the sound that the machined aluminium casing of the BeoCom 2 made when it was dropped on a hard floor.
Latterly, outside of his work for Bang & Olufsen, you could see one of Lewis's creations on the Pocket-lint pages when he teamed up with Acer to design a luxury laptop for the Taiwanese computing giant. The Acer NX90 was hardly a portable creature with a huge screen broadened by banks of speakers and a resulting mass of 5kg. Nonetheless, our review team judged it a work of art and an incredibly impressive piece of multimedia kit all the same.
Still, Lewis himself wasn't hugely fond of computers finding them "too inhibiting, too complicated to work with" and instead preferred, as many designers do, to rely on the pencil and paper. He would even resort to cutting pieces of cardboard to use as 3D models rather than spend time with an unwieldy graphics package.
"What makes Bang & Olufsen something special," he once said, "is that here the concepts must last at least 10 years. They wouldn't be able to do that without content, function and design which lasts the distance."
Three of Lewis' designs sit on display in the New York Museum of Modern Art - an honour, in part, brought about by his belief after every creation that "we have to surpass ourselves again and again".
Writing after his passing on behalf of the David Lewis Designers Studio, Torsten Valeur said:
"After a short period of illness, David Lewis died peacefully on November 8, surrounded by his family. His mind was so fresh and full of zest for everything he was doing, therefore it is impossible for us to comprehend and accept that he has suddenly passed away."

Scarlett O'Hara™ Doll Barbecue at Twelve Oaks™
First in a series featuring Scarlett™, as portrayed by Vivien Leigh in the epic film, Gone With the Wind™.
This incredibly detailed doll looks beautiful in an authentic re-creation of the famous ensemble Scarlett wore to the barbecue at Twelve Oaks™. Her fresh green and white floral-printed voile gown has a scooped neck, lavished with lace and ruffles and trimmed with green ribbon. The gown shows off Scarlett's tiny waist to perfection, then billows out in a long, full skirt. A large straw hat sits atop her head, and a sheer white lace stole trails from her hand. Earrings, a golden chain necklace with faux coral accents and short boots complete her elegant ensemble.

The economy added jobs at a surprisingly robust pace last month, despite the government shutdown.
The House of Representatives late Wednesday night passed a Senate-brokered bill to fully reopen the government and raise the federal government's debt ceiling.
Home buyers are beginning to feel the pain from the government playing their game of politics.
The government shutdown continues, but hundreds of Texomans at Sheppard and Altus Air Force Bases and Fort Sill Army Post are back to work today after a reversal of opinion about whether they are essential.

More than 600 civilian workers at Sheppard Air Force Base have been furloughed.
The House on Monday narrowly approved a new Republican counterproposal to both rein in ObamaCare and fund the government, with just hours to go until a midnight shutdown deadline.
Sheppard Air Force Base is committed to inspire and train airmen, but officials say that would be more difficult if the government shut down.

A road tunnel in Norway has been closed - by a lorry-load of burning cheese.
About 27 tonnes of caramelised brown goat cheese - a delicacy known as Brunost - caught light as it was being driven through the Brattli Tunnel at Tysfjord, northern Norway, last week.
"I didn't know that brown cheese burns so well," he said.

Great bike at an unbelievable price
By Dan
from Morton, IL
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Nashbar Flat Bar Road Bike:
I bought this bike because I wanted get into riding but with one income and a fourth coils on the way I had a very tight budget. I decided to give this bike a shot. I can't believe how nice this bike is! The components are amazing especially when you consider the price. If these were on a name brand bike you would pay close to double. I'm 6'4" 285 so I didn't know how comfortable the bike would be but again I was pleasantly surprised. I feel very balanced and supported and the bike handles very well. The only thing that could be improved is the seat and peddles. I switched them out right away and was up and going about an hour after it showed up at my door. Overall this is a great bike for the money and I will definitely buy another nashbar bike in the future.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice ride for the price
By Leeno
from Western NC
I got this bike to ride around town and on casual rides with friends. It is a great bike for the price. I did replace the seat, but the one it came with was okay. It was easy to put together.
Best Bike for the Money
By Jimmy
from Utah
About Me Commuter
I use the bike to ride to and from school and work each day. Riding my mountain bike was getting to be too much work for the distance and amount of uphill riding. This bike is great because it combines the speed and low friction of a road bike with a more comfortable riding position. It's heavy for a road bike, but overall it works great and I'm happy with it. I was looking at similarly-equipped bikes from top name brands, but this one was much cheaper.
Nice for the price

About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
I bought this bike for a trip because it was cheaper than shipping my bike on the plane. The bike arrived in good shape just a small ding in the paint on the headtube and some scratches on the front wheel but nothing important. Assembly was easy. It had a blown tube on the rear wheel so I had to replace that before I could ride. All the gears shifted fine and the brakes work OK after a little adjustment. I brought my seat and pedals plus some other accessories to make it more comfortable and so far have about 300mi on this bike. It feels nice and stiff and climbs well and handles good at 30mph downhill. I rode this bike from Santa Barbara to LA last week with no problems. Great bike for the money.
Nashbar Flat Bar Road Bike
By Mark W
from Brandon, Ms
Bought this to have something to ride on the roads instead of my Specialized MTB. Very pleased with the bike as it compares to some of the $450-$550 bikes i was looking at. My wife liked it soo much she took it from me and i ordered another one for myself. Had others ride it and they have already ordered one. Only wished the seat had some tilt adjustment but that's the only thing i can find i would change.
Excellent commmuter
By Sal
from Santa Cruz, CA
The bike is great, love the no decal look and it rides nicely. Will probably switch to 32mm tires and install my racks to make it a great commuter bike. Not a fault of the bike but the fork came a bit scratched and it has taken forever to get a replacement out to me.
Nashbar Flat Bar Road Bicycle
By Andrew the outdoorsman
from Pittsburgh, PA
The bicycle has good components, example, wheels, chain, derailleurs, brakes and handle grips. The derailleurs are adjusted correctly from the factory. An assembly manual or illustration sheet should be included. The handle bar is backwards and must be rotated 180 degrees around the head set so that the hand grips are correct. The head set is tightened with the hex screw in the center so there is no play. The saddle is fairly comfortable for a stock item. The bicycle has an aluminum frame and front fork, however the bicycle is 25 lbs. without water bottle cages, pump, computer, or flashing (front and back) safety lights. There are screws and fittings for the water bottle cages (2 each) and if one wants, a rear fender and rear rack to carry items. The brakes work well and the bicycle is quiet. The 21 inch frame fits well in both the arm length (my arms being slightly bent) and the leg position (my leg being slightly bent) at the bottom of the stroke. I am 5 feet 10 inches in height. I would recommend the bicycle even if one is an avid cyclist, but not for racing or training.
By Sustain Newark
from Newark, NJ
This product is being used a part of my daily means of traveling. Love how smooth it rides and how lightweight it is. I don't struggle with hills either. Very glad about this purchase.
Best ride for your buck

NIce bike for the price
By csaw
from indianapolis
I bought the 17" frame for my wife who is 5'3" and it fits well (a larger rider would be able to use it also). The bike weighed in at 25.5 lbs assembled which was a huge plus over her old entry level Giant MTB tank. I'm not a bike guru, but assembly was easy. The handlebars were attached backwards, but this is an easy fix. All things considered, this was a great value to get her into a bike that can move a bit w/o spending $600+ for an entry level bike at the LBS.

Raiders triumph over Workington: with video and pictures
Last updated at 10:33, Tuesday, 15 May 2012
- Barrow Raiders v Workington Town Match Highlights Click here for video
Barrow Raiders 20 Workington Town 12
FEW Cumbrian derby victories can have tasted so sweet for Barrow Raiders.
Their backs to the wall, their every sinew strained, Barrow crowned themselves the best in the county – for the moment at least – with a wholehearted victory over Workington.
Battered, bruised and battle-weary, reduced to one fit substitute by the hour after injuries to Jack Pedley. Martin Ostler and Barry Pugh and staring down the barrel of a Town attack relentless in their forward drives, Raiders still emerged with all three points.
In the second half, it seemed they had the ball for barely five minutes in total, as their West Cumbrian rivals dominated possession and territory, yet still could not find the way to victory.
In their way stood a Barrow defence which was broken early on, but stood up to the task when it mattered.
They showed the league's meanest team they can protect their line when it counts, while a brace of tries from Dan Toal and one from Chris Larkin all came at key points to rock the visitors.
Even if their performance was not vintage, this victory will mean a great deal to a Raiders side who have now welcomed three of the league's best teams to Craven Park and sent each of them packing with nothing to show for their efforts.
It lifts Barrow to second in the table all by themselves and with a game in hand on leaders Doncaster, one of those vanquished opponents on Furness turf.
It also erased any doubts over whether they can take the points without playing at their best when they come up against a top side.
They were far from 100 per cent here, but their sheer bloody-mindedness and determination saw them through against a Town team among the favourites to go up.
Workington led early on as a knock-on from Andy Ballard gifted them one set of six and a high tackle by Chris Larkin another, allowing Graeme Mattinson to exploit slack defence and go in from dummy half on the last tackle of a third successive set.
Barrow knocked-on, they tried stupid offloads and did all they could to ensure Town kept that lead for 20 minutes, the hosts lucky not to be punished when one pass from Chris Larkin was plucked from the air by Dave Peterson, who made 60 yards before he was tackled by James Nixon.
Eventually things did come together for Raiders, with Andy Bracek feeding Campbell near the sticks and the Barrow half-back flicking a pass for the run of Toal, who sidestepped his marker and went in between the posts.
Barrow now led 6-4 and they extended the advantage just after the half-hour, as a clever Darren Holt kick through on the last tackle was missed by Town full-back Brett Carter.
He was slowed off the mark as the ball came through and watched in horror as it bounced away from him and into the path of poacher Toal, the Ulverston man needing no second invitation to pounce and double his tally for the afternoon.
These two tries were both against the general run of play and Workington were soon back on the offensive, probing every gap and determined to close the advantage before the break with the wind at their backs. Barrow were taking a battering, Pedley going off which an injured sternum – even under the best prognosis of only bruising he faces a long lay-off – and Ostler hobbling away under the guidance of physio Mark Coulson as he twisted his right leg in a tackle.
Yet Raiders were resolute and they stood firm into half-time and for nine minutes after it, before they allowed Jarrad Stack to offload despite having three men around him, with Dan Rooney putting Millomite Elliott Miller in at the corner.
Things were getting a little nervy, yet an immediate response came via Larkin, as he finished off a move from one side of the field to the other and put Raiders 18-8 up, the kicking of player/coach Darren Holt proving crucial, with more still to come.
Again Town responded, with fast hands and even faster feet down the left wing ended with Stephen Dawes diving over.
Debutant Ryan Shaw came close to another tit-for-tat response for Barrow as he was held short, but this was still Workington's game, Shaw more noted for his strong tackling throughout the 80 minutes than for his attacking runs.
Skipper Liam Harrison was just the same, though his power gained Raiders vital yards at crucial times, with the Town defence struggling to hold this raging bull back.
A penalty for a high tackle on Ruairi McGoff was booted over by Holt to make the gap eight points as the final quarter-hour started and now the real hard work began for Barrow.
Mattinson was barely stopped from adding a second from acting half-back, James Nixon wisely conceded a drop-out and Peter Lupton had Rooney away, only for Bracek and Ballard to combine to push him into touch as he neared the corner.
Another Lupton breakaway was halted by a superb tackle round the legs from Ballard and Mattinson wasted a chance to score as he kicked into the hands of Campbell when a sidestep would have had him over the line.
The home support were growing more and more nervous, but the hooter came and was greeted with joy for them and pride too from the Town contingent, who knew their side had given their all.
On this occasion, that was not enough as Workington discovered just why Barrow have turned Craven Park into a fortress this season, one from which they will fly the promotion flag on the back of sheer guts with more displays like this.

Have your say
I work in the brown cow, and listened via the radio and thought it was a really entertaining game! Especially thought Ry Shaw went well ... UP THE RAIDERS, lots of love to holty and the boys!! Hope to be with yous one day!
Tremendous result. Barrow were often second best but time after time they repelled the big rampaging Townites. Holty has instilled some "dog" and self belief in the Raiders. Surely both teams will finish in the top four?
Just a question to the lads why do we always have to let the opposition score first?
Now that probably the hardest home game all season is out of the way, please don't underestimate the Skolars next week. They are much improved and we can't afford any banana skins!

UFC President Dana White Makes Nick Diaz an Offer: Lyoto Machida at 185 Pounds
BOSTON – For now, Nick Diaz remains retired. But if he wants to come back, UFC President Dana White has an offer for him: Lyoto Machida in a middleweight contest.
"I talked to Diaz today, and I made him an offer, so we'll see what happens," White said. "He had been talking about going to 185 pounds. Machida has been talking about going to 185 pounds. So we wanted to see if he wanted to fight Machida at 185."
White revealed his offer during a special Q&A session at Boston's Barrio Cantina, where he appeared as part of a fundraising effort for The Shawn Thornton Foundation at an event billed as the UFC Homecoming.
Diaz (26-9 MMA, 1-2 UFC), the former Strikeforce welterweight champ, hasn't fought since March, when he lost a unanimous decision to Georges St-Pierre in a failed bid for the UFC welterweight title. It was Diaz's second decision loss in a row after he also fell short against Carlos Condit in a UFC 143 bout for the UFC's interim welterweight title.
After the loss, a frustrated Diaz said he was done with the sport and has thus far kept his word.
Meanwhile, former UFC light heavyweight champion Machida (19-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC) fought earlier this month at UFC 163, where he suffered a hotly contested unanimous-decision loss to Phil Davis. Both before and after the bout, Machida teased the potential for a move down to 185 pounds but ultimately said he'd defer to UFC brass to make the decision.
The offer seems to throw some doubt on a rumored Machida vs. Vitor Belfort fight, which White was also said to be looking to book. Belfort has repeatedly refused to fight at 185 pounds unless he's granted a shot at the title, but that belt is currently tied up until new champ Chris Weidman rematches former titleholder Anderson Silva in December. Instead, Belfort has expressed a desire to fight outside of the division in hopes of retaining his position as a No. 1 contender in the middleweight class.
"I wanted Machida to fight Vitor Belfort, but Vitor Belfort is his own matchmaker, apparently," White joked. "He wants to make his own fights."
White said he's not sure whether or not Diaz will accept the offer, and an exact date for the matchup has yet to be determined, though November seems the most likely timeframe. But for now, it remains Diaz's choice. White said he tendered the offer and will now wait for a response.
"They said they'd gt back to me," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).I knew Vitor would shit the bed on the Lyoto offer.I wanted Machida to fight Vitor Belfort, but Vitor Belfort is his own matchmaker, apparently," White joked. "He wants to make his own fights."
This potential Diaz vs Machida match up is too good to be true. I can't even entertain the thought of this happening until I hear more.

•We're all too familiar with the phrase "every picture tells a story." Most of the time, you can look at an image and fondly recall a moment that captured an exceptional experience that you never want to forget. Sometimes though, a picture can tell a much different story—one of strife you'd much rather put behind you. Back in the February 2009 issue of Camaro Performers magazine, we introduced you to the Karma Camaro and its owner Tony Rose. Tony is your average hard-working guy who happened to invest six years of dedication into his '68 Camaro. He dialed in every detail on his own through long nights working in his garage. Knowing how he wanted his car to look, he rode that rail with a vengeance, but he got to the point where he just needed to have the body freshened up before the final icing was laid. However, the pictures you saw in that issue told a totally different tale.
Stories of honest people getting taken to the cleaners from less-than-honorable business owners aren't the norm in our [Camaro] world, but every so often it happens. When Tony contacted a shop to take on the final transformation of his car, he struck a deal that was designed to net him a car with a nice driver-quality paint job that would be done in a reasonable amount of time. What was promised and what the shop actually delivered was far less than what Tony had envisioned. Not only was the car delivered way late, but upon seeing the car for the first time, Tony realized his expectations of having a nice ride had been instantly thrashed. Unfortunately, six long months of anxious anticipation left Tony stranded on the boulevard of broken dreams with empty pockets.
Being a moderator on the popular lateral-g.net message board, Tony shared his story with fellow members about his experience and how he was left in a lurch by a dishonest shop. In a time when it seems the world has become very uncaring, Tony's story caught the attention of thousands of the lateral-g members, including Peter Newell of Competition Specialties in Walpole, Massachusetts. A longtime member of the lateral-g community, the hot rod shop owner was horrified when he read about Tony's experience and immediately contacted him to offer some help. He told Tony that if he could get the Camaro to his shop, he would take care of completely redoing it. It's just like Peter to step up and help a fellow car owner out of a bad situation. Well, once the lateral-g.net community heard of Peter's generous offer, the members banded together with lateral-g owner Scott Gulbranson and set up a PayPal account on the web site designed to help finance the 3,000-mile transportation bill. But wait, it gets even better. Since many aftermarket auto-related businesses are regular participants and advertisers on the site, they also began offering up parts to help complete the job.
Hearing this story helps put a little faith back into society. The lateral-g community is a great place where so many caring individuals are willing to help someone they've never even had the pleasure of sharing a cup of coffee.

An Exquisite, Historical Local Treasure
According to Mary Perry, deputy director of communications for Sunnylands, the estate, operated by The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands, was intended to be a space for the entire community.
"Walter and Leonore Annenberg left their estate in public trust for two reasons," explains Perry. "One was to serve as a high-level retreat center where meetings would be held that would affect change in the world; and as a public space where people could learn about the Annenbergs, their history, the collections at Sunnylands, and participate in educational and fun programming."
Inside, visitors catch a glimpse of the Annenbergs' art collection, considered one of the most important collections of Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings in the world. Though the $1 billion collection was donated to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it now anchors the museum's 19th Century European collection, the walls of the Rancho Mirage estate are adorned with fine, digitallyproduced copies. Among the paintings are renowned works by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh and Edgar Degas. Original sculptures, including Auguste Rodin's sculpture Eve are on display throughout the home and estate.
Sunnylands also boasts a notable retreat center, known as the Camp David of the West, where President Barack Obama recently hosted China's President Xi Jinping for a working meeting.
"Our valley citizens come to Sunnylands for a wide variety of reasons, including our planned and scheduled activities," says Perry. "But others come to just enjoy these magnificent gardens, to walk and to reflect. Others come to enjoy lunch and the incredible view from our café. There are so many reasons that the valley has embraced Sunnylands Center and Gardens as their own."
Historic Estate: Tours are offered Thursday through Sunday by reservation, except when a retreat is held on the estate. Tickets are $35 each and must be purchased in advance at Sunnylands.org.
Sunnylands Center and Gardens: No reservations or tickets are necessary to visit Sunnylands Center and Gardens. Open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, September through June. Free guided garden walks are offered at 11 a.m. on Thursdays. Free guided bird walks are offered at 9:15 a.m. on Fridays.
Other events: Historic landscape tours and bird-watching tours on the estate are also available for $35. Nightlife is a series designed for young professionals with discussions that range from art to the environment, followed by a mixer. Tickets are $10 and must be reserved in advance at sunnylands.org.
Address: 37977 Bob Hope Drive, Rancho Mirage. Parking is free. For more information, call 760-328-2829.

Why I Teach
Learning a new language is easier and more enjoyable when it is taught in a meaningful way. That's why I firmly believe in teaching Spanish with a flexible approach that focuses on the needs of each learner. No matter their level, I encourage students to actively participate by using Spanish to formulate opinions, express ideas and defend positions. By making the learning experience more relevant through genuine communication, students discover that the nuances of Spanish come more naturally.
