The upper echelon of the Seasonic X-Series, 850W of solid power
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 15, 2013 - 06:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: seasonic, Seasonic X-Series, 850W, PSU, modular psu
One drawback to impressing [H]ard|OCP with the quality of one of your PSUs is that the bar is now set that much higher for the next model they review. Seasonic is one such company that has a great reputation that they have to live up to with their new X-850 PSU. The half dozen PCIe 6+2 power plugs are a good start, as is being able to provide up to 99% of total power to the four 12V rails and the fully modular cabling is always appreciated. The real question is how it fared on the test bench, so go find out if it just makes it or if it passes the torture test with flying colours.
Seasonic is a long time favorite of HardOCP editors as you will find a Seasonic PSU in many builds we have done over the years. Today Seasonic pushes its X-Series forward just a bit more building its first gold efficiency rated fully modular enthusiast power supply. But will it blend?"

Cooler Master's super-sized Storm Stryker case
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 12, 2013 - 02:53 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: cooler master, Storm Stryker, XL-ATX
If you need a case with space consider this member of the Storm family, the CM Storm Stryker XL-ATX case. At 250x605x578mm (9.8x23.8x22.8") it will not fit under every desk but will hold a significant amount of hardware, you can fit up to 13 drives depending on the configuration of the HDD cages and it sports 9 add-in card slots on the back. With fans on both the top and the bottom of the case, you could easily attach a radiator to the case or make do with great airflow if you do not desire to watercool. Modders Inc was not only impressed by the brilliant white finish, they could not find a single bad thing to say about this case.
"The modular hard drive case setup was a great bonus to find when diving further into the case. These features, plus the fan controller, cable grip holder, and all the included fans that provide a constant flow of cooling air through the case really makes the CM Storm Stryker a well desired case."

GELID SlimHero Cooler Is Quiet and Low-Profile CPU HSF
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 10, 2013 - 06:53 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: slimhero, hsf, Gelid, fm2, cpu cooler, 1155
Hong Kong-based PC cooling company GELID Solutions launched a new low-profile CPU cooler yesterday called the SlimHero. The new SlimHero cooler joins the existing Silent HSF series, and is a mere 59mm high.
The low profile cooler measures 131 x 123 x 59mm including the fan and weighs 352g. The SlimHero cooler features four copper heatpipes connecting a copper block to a horizontal aluminum fin array. A 120mm fan is then mounted on top of the heatsink to push cool air over the fins and VRM area surrounding the processor. It is rated to cool processors up to 136 TDPs and is compatible with all of Intel and AMD's latest consumer sockets. On the AMD side, the cooler can be mounted in one of four directions on AM2, AM2, AM3, AM3+, FM1, and FM2.Further, it is compatible with Intel's LGA 775, 1156, 1366, and 1155 sockets.
The heatsink comes bundled with a 120mm fan and GC-2 thermal compound. The fan is PWM controlled and can spin at anywhere between 750 and 1600 RPM. GELID rates the 120mm fan at 52.4 CFM and 12-25.4 dBA.
The new cooler is designed to work with small form factor systems without getting in the way of RAM or VRM heat-spreaders. It comes with a 5 year warranty and is available now for an MSRP of $32 USD (25 EUR).
Additional information on GELID's new SlimHero cooler can be found in the full press release (PDF) as well as the SlimHero product page.
Noctua Launches Two New NH-U Series Air Coolers
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 8, 2013 - 08:14 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tower cooler, noctua, nh-u, air cooling
Noctua has launched two new single-tower air coolers in the NH-U series. The new NH-U12S and NH-U14S slim tower coolers come in both 120mm and 140mm sizes respectively. The air coolers are slim-enough to be installed in most system configurations, even with tall RAM heat-spreaders in use.
The Noctua NH-U12S is an updated version of the company's NH-U12P-SE2 cooler. It features a 45mm thick tower heatsink paired with a 120mm NF-F12 fan.
On the other hand, the NH-U14S is Noctua's first air cooler sporting a 140mm fan. The cooler is 52mm thick, and is compatible with Intel's enthusiast LGA 2011/X79 platform. Further, it uses NF-A15 140mm fan that provides ample cooling power at lower RPMs (which means less noise, ideally).
Both the NH-U12S and NH-U14S air coolers include Noctua's SecureFirm 2 mounting system, NT-H1 thermal compound, and PWM-controlled fans. Users can also attach the low-noise adapter to reduce the maximum fan speed from 1500 to 1200 RPM should they value quiet operation over maximum performance. Noctua is supporting both air coolers with a 6 year manufacturer warranty.
Both the 120mm NH-U12S and 140mm NH-U14S will be "available shortly" according to Noctua. The NH-U12S has an MSRP of $64.90 USD (59.90 EUR), while the larger NH-U14S is priced at $79.90 USD (69.90 EUR). In all, they appear to be decent air cooling options, and Noctua has demonstrated quality support in the past (such as the free Haswell mounting kit upgrades for older HSFs). Personally, I'm interested to see how the 140mm unit performs.
Thermaltake Launching Premium Urban S71 Full Tower Chassis
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 3, 2013 - 02:57 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: thermaltake, full tower, e-atx, urban s71
Thermaltake recently launched the Urban S71 full tower chassis to round out its Urban line of cases (like its Urban S21 mid-tower). The S71 is constructed of SECC steel, weighs approximately 24 pounds, and measures 21 x 8.4 x 23-inches (534 x 213 x 584mm). The black brushed metal design is aesthetically pleasing and sound dampening foam reduces noise. Thermaltake is offering up two models: the VP500M1W2N with a side panel window and the VP500M1N2N without a window (and with more sound dampening foam).
The Urban S71 chassis features a brushed aluminum front door that conceals three 5.25" bays and one 3.5" drive bay. The top of the case hosts a docking station for a 2.5" or 3.5" hard drive. The top-front of the case includes the following IO options:
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 x Mic In
- 1 x Headphone Out
- 1 x Power button (plus LED)
- 1 x Reset button (plus LED)
Pre-installed cooling options include two 200mm fans (at the front and top vents) and one 120mm high speed rear fan. The case includes removable dust filters on the top, front, and bottom vents. There is also room for a fan in bottom of the case, but is not included out of the box.
The interior of Thermaltake's Urban S71 chassis includes support for motherboards up to E-ATX in size and graphics cards up to 344mm in length. Cable routing and water cooling grommets are included on the motherboard tray and rear IO respectively. There are also eight total expansion slots and 6 3.5" drive bays (one externally-accessible). The top case ventilation slot(s) can support up to a 240mm water cooling radiator as well (like the Corsair H100).
In all, the Urban S71 is an impressive case with quite a few useful features. There is no word on pricing or availability yet, however.
NZXT aims a little higher with their Phantom 630
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 2, 2013 - 06:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nzxt, phantom 630
The NZXT Phantom 630 is much more expensive than many of their models, the $180 price tag puts it in contention with many other long standing high end case manufacturers. This price is justified in many ways, especially the sheer size of the 12.3kg (27.1lb) case which measures 245x627x600mm (9.7x24.7x23.6") and can accept a 170mm tall CPU cooler even with the 200mm side panel case fan installed. Perhaps not the most unobtrusive of cases but it provides enough elbow width to make installing a system much more comfortable. It also gives enough space to either set up watercooling or to depend on aircooling as this case accommodates up to four 140 or 120mm fans and four 200mm fans of which three can be swapped for a higher number of 140 or 120mm fans to accommodate radiators with different fan sizes. Check out the drive capacity and more at [H]ard|OCP.
"NZXT's new enthusiast computer case, the Phantom 630, looks to be truly designed for the computer hardware enthusiast and does not just carry the label like so many other products. NZXT has built the chassis with the end user in mind that wants to take things up a notch and not be annoyed when trying to accomplish his build goals."

Impactics Launches Passive D1NU NUC Chassis In Europe
Subject: Cases and Cooling | March 31, 2013 - 04:17 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nuc, Intel, impactics, europe, d1nu
Impactics is the latest company to launch its own small form factor case for Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) platform. More heatsink than chassis, the new D1NU chassis sandwiches an Intel NUC motherboard and other internals between two aluminum fin heatsinks. The D1NU measures 170 x 114 x 67mm and weighs 1380g.
The D1NU supports Intel's D33217GKE and DCP847SKE motherboards. The motherboard and other components are attached to a solid piece of precision milled 99.99% electrolytic copper (220g), and then to an aluminum heatsink.
The case seals the components between a top and bottom heatsink and then a 4mm aluminum front bezel and a rear chromium steel bezel with EM shield. The D1NU case/heatsink supports a 25W TDP, and has an MSRP of 99 euros. The front bezel hosts a power button with blue LED and space for a single USB port. The rear of the case can support the outputs of either Intel's Golden Lake or Ski Lake boards. A VESA mount is also in the works. The D1NU comes in silver or black.
According to Fanless Tech, the passive NUC case is now available in Europe for €100 Euros from Case King or £87 pounds from Systo.co.uk. No word yet on whether it will show up on this side of the pond, but (although it is a bit pricey) it is certainly a cool NUC heatsink/case (heh)!
XFX claims there is something different about their ProSeries 650W
Subject: Cases and Cooling | March 27, 2013 - 03:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xfx, PSU, ProSeries 650W
The XFX ProSeries 650W PSU is mostly modular, with only the ATX connector attached, has a 135mm cooling fan and can send 98% of its total wattage to the single 53A 12V rail. With four 6+2 PCIe power connectors you will be able to handle multiple GPUs and the 8 SATA connectors should allow you as many storage devices as you need. Unfortunately [H]ard|OCP discovered something about the 5 year warranty which greatly displeased them; unless you register your PSU within 30 days of purchase, you only receive a 2 year warranty. If you are strictly concerned about the quality of the power this PSU delivers and are ambivalent towards the warranty, this PSU passed [H]'s torture tests handily which is something not every PSU can claim.
"XFX has long and actually very solid history of producing high quality enthusiast power supplies. We have consistently found XFX PSUs worthy of [H] Editor's Choice Awards. Today the XFX ProSeries 650W promises "One Rail, One Setup" in a PSU that is different. Let's see if that is good or bad."

Terrifying moments for a driver on Interstate 10 near Ralph Fair Road as emergency crews rushed to pull him from a burning car.
The car burst into flames a little after 2:30 a.m. on Thursday after rolling over in the median.
Crews were able to pull the driver to safety and take him to an area hospital.
He suffered some burns to his legs, but his official condition was not available.
Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
Separate rollover ends in arrest
A suspected drunken driver is now facing a very serious charge after a rollover on Interstate 35 Wednesday night.
Just before 11 p.m., that driver -- a 27-year-old man -- was in an SUV with a 41-year-old woman heading south on I-35 near North New Braunfels.
The two were in an argument, he lost control and rolled the SUV several times, police said.
The woman was ejected and taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center in critical condition.
The driver is expected to be OK, but is being charged with intoxication assault.

Digital TrendsFCC moving forward with super Wi-Fi proposal
* By: Aemon Malone
* January 31, 2011
A handful of companies, including Google, have been selected to help test the unused TV frequencies known as white spaces, marking a step towards "a world with super Wi-Fi."
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) last week unveiled a list of nine companies selected to manage databases that will contain information about the availability of white spaces, unused TV frequencies with wireless broadband potential. In September, the FCC approved a proposal for using white spaces to bring about the next generation of Wi-Fi, or super Wi-Fi as its frequently called.
Google, a longtime advocate of re-purposing white spaces for Wi-Fi, was among the companies selected by the FCC. Just last fall the Commission adopted final technical rules on white spaces the unused, public airwaves that we believe will lead to the next generation of wireless technologies, Larry Alder, business operations principal at Google, wrote in a blog post. Today were one step closer to a world with super Wi-Fi
Before companies can begin to make use of white spaces, the airwaves need to be tested to ensure theres no interference from other wireless signals a common concern cited by groups opposed to using white spaces. If tests prove white spaces are viable, the airwaves could be used to broadcast a super Wi-Fi network with better bandwidth and an extended range up to 50 miles per access point.
There are several potential uses of white space, including the not-so-modest proposal of using the airwaves to form a nationwide Wi-Fi network. Another possible application of super Wi-Fi is using the broadband spectrum to help wireless providers overburdened by smartphone data traffic AT&T and its iPhone woes, for example.

Loans extended to owner occupied housing in Australia declined for a second consecutive month in February, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said Wednesday.
In seasonally adjusted terms, the number of commitments for owner occupied housing finance fell 2.5 percent month-on-month following 1.1 percent fall in the preceding month. This was, however, better than the 4 percent drop forecast by economists.
In terms of value, total loans fell 4 percent from a month earlier. The number of loans extended for purchase of new dwellings slipped 10.4 percent month-on-month.
Investment lending, on the other hand, grew 4.4 percent from a month earlier. This followed a 7.1 percent decline in January.

"Flight"—If it weren't so exceptionally crafted and acted, this tale of self-destruction and redemption might feel like the sort of feel-good fare you'd see on the Lifetime Movie Network, or even a 12-step-program promotion. Instead, Robert Zemeckis' first live-action film since 2000's "Cast Away" is thrilling, engrossing and even darkly funny at times, anchored by a tremendous performance from Denzel Washington. This is one of those Washington roles, like his Oscar-winning work in "Training Day," in which he exudes a potent mix of damage and bravado, control and danger, but he's so charismatic even as he does bad deeds that you can't help but root for him. Here, Zemeckis and screenwriter John Gatins have given him a meaty character and placed him in a complex situation. Washington stars as Whip Whitaker, a veteran airline pilot and serious alcoholic. Major mechanical failure on a flight to Atlanta forces him to pull off a daring crash landing in the middle of a field in a breathtakingly spectacular action sequence. Afterward, he's rightly hailed as a hero for saving so many lives. But the subsequent federal investigation also reveals his rampant substance abuse, which only fortifies his denial. Don Cheadle, Bruce Greenwood and John Goodman all give strong supporting performances as the people around Whip who keep him functioning in various ways, while Kelly Reilly finds a jittery fragility as the junkie who moves in with him after the crash. But Zemeckis tends to lay on a heavy-handed tone that frustratingly keeps this from being a great film, which includes a distractingly Scorsese-esque, painfully literal use of rock music. R for drug and alcohol abuse, language, sexuality/nudity and an intense action sequence. 135 minutes. Three stars out of four.

I spotted a lot of West End performers in the film aside from the obvious ones like Colm Wilkinson and Sam Barks, Alexia Khadime was a lovely lady, Hannah Waddingham and Kate Fleetwood were factory workers, Gina Beck was a citizen, Adrian Scarborough and Bertie Carvel were also in it. I thought I saw Kerry Ellis but can't recall what scene.
Was Michael Ball ever offered a part in the film or did Sweeney Todd commitments prevent it from happening?

Pro-carbon tax sentiment has grown so widespread that we have subdivided this page into categories:
- Public Officials
- Scientists and Economists
- Opinion Leaders (Environmental, Business, Religious)
- Editorial Positions (editorials expressing corporate rather than personal opinion)
- Authors/Writers/Pundits, including Newspaper Columnists

Another excellent digest of pro-carbon tax statements is maintained by the Yarra Valley Climate Action Group in Melbourne, Australia. As of October 2009, their Web page had two dozen statements from columnists, advocates, and luminaries such as climatologist James Hansen and economists William Nordhaus and Joseph Stiglitz.

I wouldn't read too much into every little thing.
But on that note, I hope you are right!

I hope you are right with the SEZ, but doubtful.
Maybe Washington committed. Oops, wrong thread.
"If I've told you once, I've told you a million times - don't exaggerate!"
Rhoads said they would be recruiting during the bye week so it is definitely a commitment IMO

IRVING, Texas-Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato was named Conference USA Co-Offensive Player of the Week on Monday. He shared the award with Shane Carden of East Carolina.
Cato hit on 34 of 44 passes for 341 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 38-28 win over Memphis. With Marshall clinging to a 31-28 lead midway through the fourth quarter, the signal-caller hit wideout Davonte Allen on a 28-yard TD down the sideline on fourth-and-6 to put the game out of reach. Cato is currently the nation's leader in completions (318) and passing yards (3,290) and is fourth in total offense (3,292) and fifth in touchdown passes (27).
Cato's fourth quarter touchdown pass to Demetrius Evans was the 40th of his career, putting him at seventh all-time at Marshall. His 500 career completions rank sixth all-time at Marshall and his 27 touchdown passes this season is the ninth-best in a single season.
(4-5 overall, 3-2 C-USA) will be back in action Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
ET/3:30 p.m. CT against UAB (2-7, 1-4).

Last night, at the U. of U. Museum of Fine Arts, Salt Lake Magazine held what the organizers not-so-humbly call "the Academy Awards of Utah dining," the magazine's annual dining awards. The evening began with a bang - or at least, a pop from Champagne bottles - with good food and drink supplied by Libation, Inc, Southern-Odom Spirits West, Bohemian Brewery, Nicholas & Co. and Cuisine Unlimited. One of the highlights was Cuisine Unlimited's lobster corn dogs paired with mini-pils glasses of Bohemian Czech Pilsner.
Things took a turn for the clunky, however, when the crowd - mostly restauratuers - were stripped of their food and booze and ushered into the Museum's auditorium for the award presentations, hosted primarily by SL Mag editor Jeremy Pugh and the dining award panelist/judges: food writer Virginia Rainey, Downtown Alliance Director Jason Mathis and wine educator James Santangelo. Gone, but fondly missed, are the days when a tipsy Randall Carlisle used to emcee the event, which sometimes teetered on disaster but was aways entertaining, which this event wasn't. The evening began with magazine publisher (who seemed like she didn't really want to be there) Margaret Mary Shuff feeling it necessary to assure attendees that the awards are not influenced by advertisers. (A quick tally of my own indicates that of the 31 award-winning restaurants only 13 have advertisements in the current issue of Salt Lake Magazine.)
In full disclosure, I should note that for a number of years I was one of the dining award judges, until I finally had enough of the in-fighting and twisted logic behind some of the awards and excused myself, permanently. Still, the folks at SL Mag, for some reason, courteously invite me to the awards event.
There weren't a lot of surprises last night. Squatters was inducted into the magazine's dining "Hall of Fame," which really means that like co-Hall of Famers Red Iguana, Log Haven and Cucina Toscana, they'd won so many awards in their category that they were retired to allow others to have a shot. In fairness, we have a similar situation with City Weekly's Best of Utah competition. Takashi Gibo was given a Lifetime Achievement Award, even though his restaurant has only been around for seven years and he's a mere 35.
There were a handful of head-scratchers, however, such as Bountiful's Sego Lily Cafe being awarded Best Salt Lake City Brunch - huh? Next year, the panelists might want to consult a map. Eric DeBonis' Sea Salt received the Best Italian restaurant award although it's only been in business for a few months. Kathmandu won the Best Indian restaurant award and Downtown Alliance member Ekamai Thai somehow came out on top as Utah's best Southeast Asian restaurant, even though it's primarily a fast-food, quick service Thai eatery with a very limited menu. This, in a town brimming with great, full-service Thai restaurants. How in the world did that happen? Oh, and Log Haven's Ian Campbell won an unprecedented second Golden Spoon Award for service, the organizers failing to remember that when I was still a panelist we bestowed the first Golden Spoon Award on Campbell, seven years ago. Or, maybe they were just aware that someone actually filched Campbell's award from the restaurant last year and decided to replace it.
There were a couple of nice surprises, such as the award for Best Wine List going to Alta's Shallow Shaft and wine manager Peri Ermidis; Zucca Trattoria winning Best Restaurant for Ogden & Northern Utah; John Murko of Park City's Talisker on Main winning the Best Chef award; Tulie coming out on top for Best Bakery; and J. Wong's Asian Bistro garnering the Best Chinese restaurant honors.
Now, a reminder: City Weekly's Best of Utah - where readers, not judges, decide who's best - is just around the corner, so be sure to get out and vote!
Come on Ted, there is room for both Salt Lake Magazine and City Weekly dining awards in this State. Your critique sounds like sour grapes and as though you are trying to make the case that Salt Lake Magazine dining awards fell apart after you left. Perhaps you were not meaning to sound that way, but that is how you come off. I am a fan of City Weekly and Salt Lake Magazine and I have friends who work for both publications. A word of advice from one of your fans, take the high road and look to improve your Dining awards through greater realiability, creativity and marketing...not by trying to tear down another publication.
Hey Ted—a couple of clarifications:
We limit the reception and the presentations because otherwise the evening lasts too long, a problem for a lot of folks on a Tuesday night.
"Bests" are always subjective, just like everything about matters of taste. That's why I invite a panel of pros to help me out. We do a readers' choice, too—it will be in the magazine—but we find that the results aren't always helpful to our readers because of lots of enthusiastic ballot-stuffing (we got votes for Wild Grape as Best Mexican restaurant) and because restaurants like Olive Garden are likely to come out on top.
Finally, we invite you because we care about your opinion, and you are a big part of the dining community.
So, thanks for coming. mm
I have to pull you up on Kathmandu, Ted. Over the last year they have really got things running great in my very humble opinion. We've had some really great meals there, and they are worthy winners of best Indian restaurant in my book.
I can't wait to see this years City Weekly awards, always a great read.

"In the past, we've generally done two incentive trips a year. But 1998 wasn't typical. We were going to do one trip, and we postponed it to April of '99. That's a reflection of the downturn in the entire semiconductor industry, which is very volatile. We go through a downturn about every decade, and the last three years haven't been good for the industry.
"The trips are typically five days, and they're primarily for our top salespeople and their spouses. They're also offered to the inside sales reps--about 10 qualify--and to the support staff, which has about five people who qualify. Normally there are about 60 couples.
"We've held the trips in Phoenix for the past few years, because all the top executives were based there and were able to join us. But now our headquarters has moved to Austin, Texas, and this year, we're traveling to the El Conquistador in Puerto Rico. People are very excited about that. It's conceivable that for the year 2000 we'll go to Europe or someplace special like that.
"We've done these trips for about 10 years. Although we don't have any way to formally evaluate their usefulness, the company believes they make a difference. That's why this year's trip wasn't canceled. Motorola sees the trips as an investment in the future."

Ah, October, October, the time of pretty girls, golden beer, football hopes and hoop dreams-brilliant colors lightening leaves that bounce brightness into the eyes of booby beauties bustling and trundling toward an intemperate arena.
But baseball dies every October, the springtime hope of April squished.
Now, our fantasy fall has fallen. As October crawls toward the contradiction of Thanksgiving, some will wait forever for next year.
I partook of community sorrow at long distance. I knew no one at Sparks Middle School. The name of the ex-Marine murdered trying to stop a south Reno bank robbery was unfamiliar. I suffered little collateral damage from the guns of autumn.
I could sit shiva as pirate laureate of the High Desert Outback of the American Dream, spraying innocuous words like rain on an impersonal ocean, all sensibility and sensitivity subsumed by the enormity of the task of sorting salty tears from seawater.
The best I could contribute was suggesting that our newest imported corporate welfare queen make weapons with the same fingerprint safety device as an i-Phone.
Before daylight hit Tribune delivery trucks, the moonhowlers bayed at the newspaper's website, united in wounded macho while missing the point entirely.
I appreciated one nameless guy who stated "Wow! The author has managed to combine anti-gun rhetoric with anti-Christian rhetoric. A polemical tour-de-force!"
Nobody ever accused me of that before. Firearms as a religious experience. (He left out potentially offended Oldsmobile and Sony Walkman owners.)
The point of the Oct. 24 i-Gun piece was that Apple knows how to market things as cool and fashionable. That's how previously shunned practices like tattoos (ow), body piercing (ouch) and even gunlocks (oops) unlock the pocketbooks of the impressionable public.
Alas and alack, little seems to stem the momentum of increasingly efficient killing machines like Oldsmobiles and dumb guns. Our ingenuity at destroying people, as reflected in the resources devoted to the task, dwarfs our desire to heal or cure them. Check the relevant budgets.
As that soulless reaper named deadline approached, there came news of more encroaching winter chill: Three local union workers were hit Tuesday by a motorist on Interstate 80 near Beowawe. Two lie in hospitals, a 53-year-old sister lies dead as November extends Nevada's bloody October.
This comes on top of another recent revelation. The person shot to death during the Bank of America robbery was well-known to me. Media called him Charles Sperry but I knew him as Bob, a kind and generous man. His wife, Milka, brilliantly sculpted my late wife's hair for our wedding all those years ago.
And so the sorrows of October finally engulfed my house.
Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.
Esté bien. Haga infierno.
Be well. Raise hell.

At the same time, those same politicians demand that government be allowed to track every move, transaction and utterance that citizens make — practices possible only in an oppressive, totalitarian state.
Isaac Asimov coined the "Three Laws of Robotics." The first two can be paraphrased as — one: government may not injure a citizen or, through inaction, allow a citizen to come to harm, and two: government must obey the orders given to it by citizens, except where such orders would conflict with the first law.
Isn't that the intent of the Bill of Rights which requires government to protect our unalienable rights both enumerated and unenumerated?
Who will protect citizens from a government armed with the latest robotic technology running amuck and destroying its creators?

|YOU CAN HELP US make sure that our distributional information is correct and current. If you know that a plant occurs in a wild, reproducing state in a Jepson bioregion NOT highlighted on the map, please contact us with that information. Please realize that we cannot incorporate range extensions without access to a voucher specimen, which should (ultimately) be deposited in an herbarium. You can send the pressed, dried collection (with complete locality information indicated) to us (e-mail us for details) or refer us to an accessioned herbarium specimen. Non-occurrence of a plant in an indicated area is difficult to document, but we will especially value your input on those types of possible errors (see automatic conversion of distribution data to maps).

I have seen few question which were updated by original poster and added solution to his problem. Is it fine to copy his solution to answer? Or should I just flag it/delete it?
I always leave a comment on these asking them to post their solution as an answer. I can't remember an active user ever failing to comply, since they stand to gain more reputation for the answer. If you've already left a comment with no reply, and it's clear the person is just not coming back, I'd say go ahead and leave an answer. I'd put the original comment in quotes, just so it doesn't look like you're trying to steal credit, but the more you can add beyond their original comment answer the better.

Phoning It In: Telecommuting Systems and Networks Engineer
It's late one night in August 2007, and Cassidy Kern is in a back alley in Chicago, setting off fireworks with two editors of this magazine. This isn't exactly the type of environment in which one imagines "work" occurring.
But suddenly, he steps away from the explosions to take a call on his cell phone.
"Hey, what's up?" he says. "Oh. Well, just download an open-source pop-up blocker; that should fix it."
Kern later explained that this call came from a lower-level tech support person at Positive Networks, a software company that enables remote access in the workforce.
"That goes along with providing Level 3 support," Kern said. "It was a Level 2 support person calling because they were having a problem with one of our larger customers."
Kern is a senior systems engineer at Positive Networks, based in Kansas City, Mo. He signed on with the company in August 2001.
"When I started, I was in the office," said Kern, adding that he was initially hired to be a network operations center manager (basically tech support). "Once we started to actually have a product and get customers, I started doing a lot of the server builds, maintaining the servers and doing software releases. I was also doing quality assurance."
Kern, at this point, was getting a little overextended. "I was doing support from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. for a while, because we just didn't have enough people," he said. "Then we hired some other people to start…

here the pics
I found this picture of the aloha suit, should be at the hilton... my question about this; What suit stays in Graceland??? or are there 2 aloha suits ???
I think the second picture is taken at graceland.
not sure - maybe i should leave this thread for the experts...
i only thought that there was one suit?
that is at Graceland along with the cape that Elvis threw out into the crowd - a big hearted fan donated the cape back to Graceland - how kool is that?
so the cape and the jump suit are alond side each other at Graceland.
I think that there was new one made because Elvis wore one in 1974. So he hade to make a little larger verson of the suit to fit him.
I did it my way.
As far as I know there's only one "Aloha" suit. A second belt was made and they made a new cape, too (because Elvis had thrown them in the crowd). Elvis could wear the suits even if he put on a kilo or another, because they where one piece suits (with stretch material) and so he could squeeze into them. But maybe they made a second suit. All things are possible...
There were two versions made. The one he wore in Aloha is on display in Las Vegas. The second version he used during the tours in 1973 and 1974 is on display at Graceland. There were not just two belts made but three. When Elvis arrived at Hawaii he gave the first belt to actor Jack Lord. The second belt was trown into the audience during the show on the 14th. A third belt had to be made to use on tour.
Thank you Leroy for the great information about this jumpsuit!
Happy Holidays,
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...

Also, since the suit displayed at Graceland isn't the actual Aloha suit...why do they pass it off as such??
Last edited by Tony Trout; 08-31-2006 at 10:47 AM.
IF the real Aloha suit is hanging in Las Vegas..I think that is a big shame! Look how the suit is hanging..it must be on a doll like in Graceland! What a shame! It just makes me mad
there was 2 suits the original one you can tell by the flairs on the legs the one you see @ graceland you will see that had the red flairs thats the one he wore in 73 in the aloha concert the 2nd one was made like the first the difference is there is 1 extraw star obove the belt line the extra star is the aloha suit the one that doesnt is the one that was made for the 74 show and it had blue flairs other than that the suit is a mirror image
Where in Las Vegas is this suit on display - it is certainly not in the Hilton.....having just got back from Vegas recently, am surprised I did not see this suit anywhere.....
The Vegas Hilton jumpsuit comeback at Graceland in 2008
The Aloha suit, worn in the original broadcast in now back in Graceland. It was at the Las Vegas Hilton for years. There was quite a debate going on weather Vernon Presley just loaned the suit to the Hilton or gave it to them. Butch Polston of B&K Enterprises played a huge role in getting that suit back to Graceland. There were two suit made and three short capes made (and the large one not used.

Thank you Andy - good to know it is back where it belongs

Here's a heads up.
Amazon has a pre-order going where you'll get $15 in promotional credit. I think I might do this instead of Best Buy now. It pretty much has the same pre-order bonus with the EASHL items. Except that it's Bauer and Best Buy has the Reebok brand.

Temecula, with its rolling green vineyards, comfy country inns, and first-rate restaurants, bills itself as the "Southern California Wine Country." The region is home to more than three dozen wineries, several of which offer fine dining, luxury lodging, and spas in addition to appealing boutiques, charming picnic areas, and, of course, award-winning vintages.
The name Temecula comes from a Luiseño Indian word meaning "where the sun shines through the mist"—ideal conditions for growing wine grapes. Intense afternoon sun and cool nighttime temperatures, complemented by ocean breezes that flow through the Rainbow and Santa Margarita gaps in the coastal range, help grapevines flourish in the area's granite soil. Best known for Chardonnay, Temecula Valley winemakers are moving in new directions, producing Viognier, Syrah, old-vine Zinfandel, and Pinot Gris varietals. Most wineries charge a small fee ($5 to $15) for a tasting that includes several wines. Most wineries are strung out along Rancho California Road, east of Interstate 15; a few newer ones lie along the eastern portion of De Portola Road. For a winery map, visit www.temeculawines.org.

A Truly Unique AquariumThe biOrb combines the looks of a traditional fish bowl with the performance of a 'hi-tech' aquarium. The 8-gallon fish bowl incorporates a clever and easy to change filtration system that has been designed to provide maximum benefits to both fish and fish keeper.
The globe is manufactured from Plexiglas acrylic and because of its large water capacity, biOrb provides fish with approximately 10 times more space than a traditional bowl.
Advanced FiltrationThe filter design utilizes a unique systemized five-stage method combining biological, mechanical and chemical filtration. This significantly reduces maintenance while ensuring that the water remains healthy and crystal clear for months between the simple filter cartridge changes. With the filter barely visible in the bottom of the globe, once biOrb is filled with water there is nothing to detract from its perfect 360 degree viewing angle. biOrb's base and lid come in black or silver as standard but for those wishing to color co-ordinate a range of snap on special colors is available. Replacement filter cartridges are conveniently provided in a maintenance pack that also includes a cleaning sponge and water chemical.Hi-Tech LightingThe biOrb incorporates low voltage new technology illumination, a 10w halogen bulb, providing additional clarity and sparkle. biOrb's stylish shape is unaffected because the light fits unobtrusively inside the globe's lid. biOrb comes complete with an air pump, light and set of instructions. All that the owner needs to add are water, fish and plants if desired.

Clean, flowing, well-lit water with fish is the ultimate way of transforming bad energy ! The biOrb is perfect for good Feng Shui, with its five-stage filtration system, bubbling water and low-voltage light.
The Chinese word for fish, yu, is the same as the word for success. If placed in the office and/or home good fortune will follow.
Fish in the biOrb are special. Goldfish are baby dragons in Feng Shui very lucky!
Three fish symbolise yang energy. The best combination is two goldfish (representing good luck and energy) and one black fish (representing protection).
In Feng Shui, round objects help chi energy to curve around rooms and buildings.
A biOrb with a blue or black lid and base activates your career.
Our mission
Fish Tanks Direct Specializes in Acrylic Aquariums delivered right from the factory floor. Save thousands of dollars off of your next custom acrylic aquarium by shopping with us. We have been in the Fish Tanks industry for over 20 years and we have knowledgeable staff that will be happy to pick out the perfect acrylic aquarium for your home. Don't forget to shop by shape! We have a wide assortment of shapes that you can choose from which come in many of the popular sizes. Our customized fish tanks do not come with stand or canopy so you will have to order them separately. Many of the wood stains are minwax colors so check your local hardware store to see the actual color as the web can distort the actual color.
We also carry a full line of filters for your aquarium. We can perfectly match your aquarium up with a powerful protein skimmer and or canister filter. It is critical that you have proper filtration when purchasing your acrylic fish tank. Advanced hobbyists can take advantage of our low cost aquarium chillers.
