Reflecting the international theme of this year's Fragranze Pitti Imagine , a new exhibitor is the Argentinian perfume house Fueguia 1833, based in Buenos Aires. The company, was started two years ago by Julian Bedel (who has a background in music) and Amalia Amoedo, and is a tribute to the flora and fauna of Patagonia, the southern parts of Chile and Argentina which includes the Straights of Magellan, separating the continent from Tierra del Fuego. Bedel is decended from a line of distinguished entomologists and writers - two of his ancestors specialised in the study of beetles.
The recently opened Fueguia 1833 shop, in a leafy suburb of Buenos Aires, also contains the firm's laboratory where perfumes can be made semi-bespoke for customers. The company's corporate clients include the Four Seasons Hotel, Park Hyatt Hotel, Emirates Airways and others in the travel and leisure sector.
The opening collection has 50 fragrances divided into sub groups, each of which is follows a theme.
1. Jorge Luis Borges (writer)
2. Destinos (places)
3. Personajes (people)
4. Fábula Fauna (fabulous fauna)
5. Linneo (after Carl Linnaeus, the father of taxonomy)
6. Amalia (Honouring the beauty of women)
7.Armonías (harmonies/ music)
The line takes a cerebral approach when it comes inspiration: offerings include the imagined smell of Darwin's cabin on his voyage to Patagonia, as well as a celebration of the love affair (platonic or otherwise) that developed between Bengali poet Rabindranarath Tagore and writer Victoria Ocampo when he came to stay in Argentina.
The collection is also available in candles. The perfumes come in special hand-made boxes from native species of wood that come from fallen trees in the "Valdiviano" forest in Patagonia. They are made by students from a local carpentry school.
After two years in England, the experiment was deemed unsuccessful and Fitzroy took the natives back on the ship under his command, the HMS Beagle. It was on this famous return voyage that he was accompanied by the naturalist Charles Darwin, who later used much of his research on the trip to write The Origin of Species. (The story of the two men's relationship is the theme of a novel by Harry Thompson called 'This Thing of Darkness'). The fate of Fueguia was an unfortunate one – after marrying another of the captives when she returned to Patagonia she lived a very hard life. None of the captives were accepted back into their community with ease and were treated with suspicion and distrust.
"Our work is a homage to the flora and fauna of the area' said a company spokesman. "In a way, we see ourselves as carrying on the work of Darwin. We seek to identify new plant materials from the region that haven't been used as perfumery before or are very uncommon.'
Fueguia 1833 sounds very interesting. I am happy that this niche fragrance maker comes from Argentina and not the usual hubs. Unfortunately, their website is nothing more than their business card. Does anyone know where to look for descriptions and samples of their creations? I guess it is impossible to find them in Scandinavia. Nice presentation. Thank you Lila!
Hello Lila, you can find them at Campo Marzio in Rome as well,
I have smelled them briefly and this line seems very interesting, I am not quite sure if you will obtain the samples from campomarzio 70, nonetheless, I advise you to drop them an e-mail.
@Bonoanimoes Thank you for the further info.
I spoke to Natasha Blin - you can e-mail her on [email]email@example.com[/email]
Thank you for the great article Lila.
Fueguia 1833 ships worldwide, you can download the catalog (Spanis & English versions) from:
The catalog includes the full story, manufacturing process, ingredients, photos and the 50+ range of perfume collection with details and explanations. It's worth the download!
This article gave me chills with those descriptions of the inspiration. I hope the nose(s) behind the actual products are as great as the concepts.
The brand in fact it's a distillation laboratory, perfume factory with an in house perfumist and also a retail brand with stores of their own. They are having a big fun!
Take a look at http://www.facebook.com/fueguia
thank you Lila for the wonderful article, and nailuj for the additional info! being a perfume lover in buenos aires, i am SO happy to discover a brand such as Fueguia...i can't wait to be able to visit their store on Alvear Avenue (i went the other day but got there too late: they'd just closed :()
Michail, there is a Norwegian shop that has a small selection of Fueguia, maybe they can send you samples: http://www.parfumerie.no/fueguia_patagonia/C_80_99
I was glad to see Fueguia at Pitti. They have some pretty impressive stuff and their candles are of great quality.
My favorites from the line include Fitz Roy (a beautiful violet for gentlemen), Caoba (patchouli, cacao and Bulgarian rose) and Ballena de la Pampa (musk and hay).
You can buy one scent Ett Hem at the Ett Hem Hotel in Stockholm. They created a special scent for the hotel, it's amazing!

Columns - Did toxic words trigger Tucson killer?
It might be impossible to prove beyond a doubt, but it is almost certainly likely that toxic words have helped push some deranged people over the edge into murder.
We live in a time when political compromise and civility have become relics worthy of museums. Political debate, too often, has become one big shouting match, which can turn into sessions of accusatory screaming. Who can forget the town-hall meetings at which angry attendees shrieked insults and screamed down senators and representatives? The same thing happened in the angry 1960s when newfangled leftists and old-hat right-wingers shouted each other down and used toxic rhetoric, some of which triggered assaults and even killings. Lee Harvey Oswald, to name just one assassin, is a classic case of a disgruntled loner-loser infected by half-baked ideas and toxic extremist rhetoric.
The vicious January 8 shooting spree in Tucson has raised once again that eternal question: Do words trigger violence?
Specifically, did poisonous political rhetoric "cause" the Tucson massacre? Absolutely not. The vicious killer, Jared Lee Loughner, did it.
Did poisonous political rhetoric "contribute" to the Tucson massacre? Probably not, but who really knows? The demented maniac would probably have done what he did even if there were no political poisons circulating in the air. More needs to be learned about the killer and the twisted ideas that formed his warped mind. Perhaps he is suffering from a severe mental illness, and "voices" told him to kill Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and anyone in her vicinity, including a 9-year-old girl. So far, based on excerpts from his computer ramblings, his thought processes are disjointed and incoherent, not to mention utterly ridiculous.
Loughner seems to fit to a tee the profile of other massacre shooters: somewhat of a loner, trouble in school, rejection by the military, a feeling of being unappreciated, thoughts that everyone else is keeping him from his "rightful" successes in life and - most disturbingly - a crazy patchwork quilt of thoughts that combine - in ludicrous fashion - "evil" governmental forces, the country's monetary system and conspiracy theories that politicians are out to "get" the little guy.
This profile almost perfectly fits that of Timothy McVeigh, who bombed the Oklahoma City Federal Building. One of McVeigh's "inspirations" was the militia-survival movement and a crackpot book called The Turner Diaries.
We are told two of Loughner's favorite books are Mein Kampf (My Struggle) by Adolf Hitler and The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx. That choice of books could well be a symptom of his crazy-quilt ideas, trying to combine discordant theories, like oil and water, into a coherent "philosophy." Just as McVeigh rationalized his violent act through his intense identification with the survivalist movement, we have to wonder if Loughner found his rationale partly by following the website ramblings of extremist groups.
It is a tragedy these killers - and other random murderers - did not receive the mental treatment they so needed before they cracked up completely into their homicidal actions. Our society has to begin working on that problem - the ticking time bombs that go unrecognized and/or untreated.
In the meantime, the onslaughts of vitriolic political vomit that "hint" at doing physical harm to opponents has got to stop. Sarah Palin's phrase "Don't retreat; reload" and her website rifle-scope cross-hairs over the districts of political opponents were inexcusable. Those are just a couple of obvious examples. There are many others - extremist groups of every political stripe putting out a "call to arms," thus hinting at violent aggression or even murder as a "solution." All those groups claim, of course, they don't mean it that way. Sure. Just go tell that to the next madman ready to explode into a shooting spree.

The following is a list of things you can do to make your children's lives easier after a divorce. Read these tips as reminders of what you and your co-parent should be doing to ease the stress of divorce on your children. Remember that the reason why you should do these things is that if you don't your children will join the ranks of those who become emotionally hurt by the process of divorce.
How to Make Marriage Work After Separation
After a separation it may seem like your marriage will never be the same again. While this may be true, you can try to make the change positive instead of negative.It's amazing how much you can shift within a relationship by simply shifting your own thoughts and behaviors.
How to Get Back Sexual Desire During Pregnancy
What with the hormonal changes, the morning sickness, and the uncertainty of exactly what's happening inside your body, you may find yourself at what seems a total impasse when it comes to sex while you're pregnant. Fluctuations of libido are normal, especially during pregnancy. The best thing you can do is relax and take care of yourself.
The Best Love Match for Cancers
The Cancer woman is devoted to her home, family and lover, which can sometimes seem smothering, but she simply has a desire to protect. Cancers are known for being sensitive and reluctant to share their feelings. My Daily, a horoscope website, cites that a Cancer's biggest weakness is the fear of repeating past mistakes in his present life. Nurturing and careful, Cancers are picky when it comes to love, but once they find a mate, their loyalty and sexiness shine through.
Sexual Desire During Pregnancy
Myths about sexual activity during pregnancy abound, but the idea that sex will harm the baby or the mother, or that the baby somehow "knows" mommy and daddy are having sex, are simply false. Unless there are complications such as a history of miscarriage or leaking amniotic fluid that may prompt your health care provider to advise against it, sexual activity during pregnancy is normal, natural and healthy. Whether you desire sex while you are pregnant is a different matter altogether.
What to Say to Someone Who Has Lost a Loved One
It is difficult to know the right thing to say to someone who has lost a loved one. You want to comfort them, not make matters worse. Here are some things you should say and some things you shouldnt say at a funeral, wake, or whenever you encounter someone who is grieving.
A Note of Comfort To One Struggling To Conceive
So, it is much easier to give advice on what NOT to say to people who are struggling to conceive (see previous blog, What Not To Say). The truth is, there isnt really a lot you can say to someone who is struggling with this difficult journey. Like with many hard things in life, there are no words to capture the sorrow, the pain, the loss and the heartache that this path brings. At any given moment, a caring supporters words can seem trite or meaningless, even with the best intentions.

Evergreen British pop star Sir Cliff Richard - who turns 69 today (Oct. 14) - and his band the Shadows have moved almost 80,000 albums in three weeks, during their 50th anniversary farewell tour.
Live Nation says the tour has shifted 230,000 tickets and their last U.K. performance takes place at London's Wembley Arena on Oct. 23, with the tour then heading to Europe and, in 2010, South Africa and Australia.
"Reunited" (EMI), a collection of re-recordings of old hits, was issued to mark the tour and it has now climbed to No. 4 on the Official Charts Co's U.K. albums chart after three weeks with total U.K. sales of 78,000 up to the end of Oct. 10.
Sir Cliff has enjoyed a remarkable 51-year chart career, beginning with 1958's "Move It," and he went on to record various hits with the Shadows. But he almost counts as a youngster on the current album chart top 10, which also includes 81-year-old Andy Williams and 92-year-old Dame Vera Lynn. Barbra Streisand, 67, is at No. 1 with "Love is the Answer" (Sony Music Entertainment).
As reported in the current issue of Billboard, rock 'n' roll and pre-rock 'n' roll recordings are being successfully monetized in the U.K. thanks to TV advertising campaigns targeting older music fans.
However, Peter Duckworth, SVP commercial marketing and catalog at EMI, believes the Cliff and the Shadows reunion goes beyond such appeal. "Cliff and the Shadows together are from the rock 'n' roll era but the event of them reforming is not a rock 'n' roll event but a Cliff and the Shadows event," he says.
Nevertheless, the marketing has also been aimed at older fans, with TV advertising on soap operas and daytime TV, and the limited edition box set with jigsaw and bonus CD has proved popular. Duckworth says the jigsaw edition accounted for almost 20% of the 32,000 first week sales.
"We wanted a product that would be ideal for a gift purchase and a fan purchase, with added value," he says. "The bonus EP, jigsaw, and box met these requirements." Older music fans' preference for physical product also explains why only 2% of first week sales were by download.
EMI has naturally marketed the album on the tour, including advertising in the tour program. The fanbase includes a postal database of 65,000 and an email database of 42,000.
Cliff Richard's manager Bill Latham, of the Cliff Richard Organisation, says the tour is going "incredibly well, from the word go box office was quite amazing." He adds that the album sales are an "excellent achievement."
"There is a huge loyal fanbase - that's where we begin - and the Shadows have their fanbase too," says Latham of the tour's 230,000-strong audience. "Thereafter our promotion is national and we try to pick up those who have fond memories. Every song is nostalgic, every one is a hit and very familiar. So the audience are singing along, it really is a trip down memory lane."
"Cliff always does an energetic show although there's no specific choreography this time which there normally is in a Cliff show," says Latham. "Cliff's energy levels supersede anything that's normal. It's good old '60s rock 'n' roll."
As for the farewell tour, that definitely just applies to Cliff Richard and the Shadows. "Cliff's not saying it's his last tour at all," says Latham. "It will be the last time Cliff and the Shadows tour together. He will be performing again."

windows new installation used more than 80 GB of disk space - help
I installed windows 7 professional 64 bit on a western digital disk that has 160GB. When the installation was done, I went to My Computer and saw that it used more than 80GB of disk space. I enabled hidden folders and measured everything that was in the computer - all files combined including system and windows file do not add up to more than 16GB. So how come it is showing that half the disk is in use?
I looked for windows.old file thinking maybe this is what taking space, but I found nothing.
Also, I formatted the disk before I installed windows7 and deleted everything, so supposedely there shouldnt have been any left overs from previous installations (and indeed there isnt).
Any suggestions as to what is taking up so much space and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Brink,
Please see the attachements that you asked. I could try to clean the disk, but I dont understand how come the sum of all files and folders is about 16GB and it shows as if half the disk is being used. So I dont know what could be cleaned?
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2014
I used WinDirStat and it found that the files taking up all the space are pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys.
Is it SAFE to delete these two files? Will it do any harm?
What are they for?
|My System Specs

ok, problem solved, thanks to brink for pointing me in the windirstat direction. i disabled hibernation, deleted the hiberfil.sys and set the pagefile.sys size to 1GB - thanks!

Great news. Odd that they would be that large by default after a clean install though. How much RAM do you have?
|My System Specs

Yes, it is indeed odd - I have a lot of RAM, which makes it even stranger, but the important part is that the problem is solved, thanks to your help :-) Thanks a lot again!

That would be why then. If you have a lot RAM, these files will be large to match.

Re: H.M.R. GASTRELL, to Australia
Hello Lisa,
Nice to hear from you, are you in Australia ?Is Harold the H. GASTRELL to Australia that I have mentioned in the forum. Actually I think I have made a mistake with the H.M.R. I think it should have read H. Mr GASTRELL but that is how I read it in the Index of Immigrants.
I live in Toowoomba, Qld. Australia and it would to be to have another Aussie on the GASTRELL hunt.
Send a personal e-mail to me when you get this and I'll fill you in on our side of things.

"I've paid taxes all my life, but now have to buy my own dressings. Shocking!"
About: what do we pay N.I.C for?
Posted by darren west (as ),
i find it disturbing when you have worked all your life and payed into the system that when you go for treatment you are asked to get a prescription that you have to pay for to get dressings so nurses can treat you. i feel this is disgraceful. so what are we paying N.I C for?
I was told I would get my first dressing free and then I would have to pay for the rest on a prescription. shocking!

The emergence of blogs shows that people are more comfortable with self expression that extends themselves to the digital communities. Blogging has evolved from "online diary", and has now become versatile as each blogger is distinguished with the kind of niche and the type of writing he does through his blog. Blogging has established itself in the online communities as means of gateway for information, how – to guides, entertainment, and/or a weblog to share one's experience to his friends and families despite distance.
Iligan Bloggers Society, Inc. will be holding this years Blogging 101 Seminar for newbie bloggers and interested people in town. The topics will include: The Basics of Blogging, Bloggers Etiquette, Blog Niche, Elements of a Good Blog, and Bloggers Must Have. This years Blogging 101 Seminar will be different from last years as the topics to be discussed by the speakers will not only tackle the basics of blog set – up, but as well as how the bloggers should carry themselves in social functions and in the use of the new media. "We (IBS, Inc.) are one year older now and the event is part of our whole month celebration for the Iligan Bloggers Month 2012! The bloggers behind IBS, Inc. are willing and excited to impart to interested individuals the knowledge they have on their craft", shares Alexander Singcol Jr., the project manager for this years Blogging 101 Seminar.
The event is co- presented by Sun Cellular Telecommunications with the widest area coverage in Mindanao, Third Team Media the digital team for your business, Diocese of Iligan for their generous support to IBS, Inc., and the bloggers behind PinayMommyOnline.com, PinayTravels.com, TravelJams.com, ChooseIligan.com, Wowiligan.blogspot.com, PurpleSlipperz.com, RN-CN-AdventuresinLife.blogspot.com, and PinayTravelista.com.
Blogging 101 Seminar will delve on the elements that bloggers need for solid foundations on their blog. And since, blogging is a individual thing, and solely relies on the bloggers personality and ideas, a nudge, and slight push towards a direction can spark and ignite these to bring out inspiration for quality blogs.
Expect a day full of learning, fun, and surprises with the introduction of blogging basics!

Mandatory mail seems to cause some patients to prematurely discontinue therapy, especially among those patients without previous mail-service pharmacy experience. At least, that's what a recent study on mandatory mail suggested.
CVS Caremark's MinuteClinic continues to expand its list of strategic alliances, with its latest partner being Indiana University Health (IU Health), the largest health system in Indiana.
So, who's afraid of a bigger, badder Express Scripts-Medco? Apparently not its competitors.
The news that MinuteClinic has surpassed 10 million patient visits is important because the pace at which these milestones are occurring speaks volumes to the increased patient acceptance.
CVS Caremark posted second-quarter results that were at the high end of its guidance and narrowed its 2011 outlook on continued confidence. But it was the pharmacy benefit management business — and the potential merger of PBM rivals Express Scripts and Medco Health Solutions — that was top of mind for many industry observers, and was a topic that CVS Caremark president and CEO Larry Merlo hit head-on at the start of Thursday morning's conference call.
Hetty Lima has been tapped to serve as Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy's VP specialty infusion services, the company announced this week.
MinuteClinic has surpassed 10 million patient visits since opening its doors in 2000.
CVS Caremark is gearing up for flu season and will leverage both its CVS/pharmacy locations and MinuteClinic sites to provide flu shots for patients every day, including evenings and weekends, and will offer direct medical billing to many national and regional health plans that will cover all or part of the cost of a flu shot.
Lowering the maximum corporate tax rate could allow CVS Caremark to accelerate investments in U.S. jobs, technology and infrastructure — all of which could ultimately help lower healthcare costs and bolster the economy. That was a key message that CVS Caremark president and CEO Larry Merlo had for the Senate Finance Committee during a recent hearing.
CVS Caremark, through its All Kids Can program, has partnered with Easter Seals over the past six years to support children at risk of autism, developmental delays or disabilities. CVS Caremark is continuing its support by investing in Easter Seals' Make the First Five Count initiative to help assure children receive critical early intervention services.
CVS Caremark is welcoming thousands of delegates to the 2011 National Urban League Conference as a title sponsor of the event that is taking place in Boston this week.
Henry Ford Health System is working to increase its capacity to serve patients in metropolitan Detroit through a new collaborative effort with CVS Caremark's MinuteClinic.
In his July 20 letter to benefit consultants, Walgreens president of pharmacy, health and wellness Kermit Crawford made a direct appeal to plan sponsors to either "select a PBM that includes Walgreens" or consider "direct arrangements with plans currently using Express Scripts, to the extent permitted by their contracts." The letter also included an attached "template agreement that can be used to implement such direct arrangements where permitted," for consideration.
Two of the country's largest pharmacy benefit managers plan to merge in a deal worth $29.1 billion.
Preventive health care may be signficiantly less costly than previously thought because of the expanded use of cost-effective generic medications for the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases, according to researchers from Harvard University, Brigham and Women's Hospital and CVS Caremark.
CVS Caremark's board of directors has approved a quarterly dividend of 12.5 cents per share.
In a move that not only shed more light on how to battle the $300 billion problem of medication nonadherence but also helped to raise consumer awareness on the importance of adherence, CVS Caremark convened its first-ever national forum in late May.
Soon after reporting double-digit earnings per share growth Tuesday morning, Walgreens announced it would forego as much as $5.3 billion in annual sales, representing some 7% of the company's business and 90 million prescriptions, as it walks away from its relationship with pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts.
CVS Caremark will launch a pilot of a
real-time, integrated electronic prior authorization capability, available to its pharmacy benefit management clients, to help speed access to prescription medications.
CVS/pharmacy has introduced its latest initiative, designed to underscore the role pharmacists play in managing ongoing medications for chronic illnesses, particularly when a patient starts a new medication.
It has been weeks since a massive tornado ripped through Joplin, Mo., bringing with it widespread destruction and a death toll that, by most recent reports, has surpassed 150. As residents now work to clean up the devastation and piece back together their tattered homes and shattered community, several industry members have stepped up to show their support.
CVS Caremark All Kids Can, a program of the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust and CVS Caremark, and VSA, the international organization on arts and disability, are showcasing their commitment to supporting inclusive arts education with the announcement of the 2011 All Kids Can Create student artists.
Moody's Investors Service compared the three largest pharmacy benefit managers — CVS Caremark, Express Scripts and Medco Health Solutions — in a report issued Tuesday. While it maintained a positive view of all three, it gave CVS Caremark the highest credit rating.
CVS/pharmacy kicked off on June 5 its 10th annual in-store "Researching a Cure" fundraising campaign to support the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Anyone wondering what the future of health care under a more consumer-directed model will look like got a glimpse of it from two pieces of news this week.

Advise me on VR/360 video editing build
Hello everyone! First time posting here, happy to move this to a different sub-forum is there's a better spot for it.
I'm looking to build a custom system that will enable me to generate stereoscopic 360 photo and video content, and possibly other VR content in the future. I'm an active photographer and filmmaker, but 360/VR is new territory for me. I've given myself a budget of $5k USD, hopefully for the VR rig, the 360 stereoscopic camera, and 360 audio recorder as well, but if I need to make a separate budget for the camera and recorder that's fine too. I'm the patient type and happy to buy/build this piecemeal, taking advantage of sales and promos.
I currently use Adobe Lightroom 6, Adobe Premiere CC, and DaVinci Resolve 12.5 for my creative projects. I know Premiere now supports 360 stereo video, not sure about Resolve, and I'm open to using other editing and post processing software as well.
I'll probably continue to work in non-360 photo and video as well, but I figure any system that can handle 360 will be able to handle traditional content with ease. My system's primary purpose will be to run the above software and any 360/VR specific software that's needed, and secondarily I would like it to be able to handle some games, as I expect I'll experiment with VR games once the system is up and running. I don't currently have any VR games, but I would like the system to be able to handle some 3D heavy games like Cities: Skylines, Resident Evil 6, Devil May Cry 4, and Grand Theft Auto V.
Here's what I currently have available:
- Microsoft Surface Pro 3 - this I'll likely continue to use for my IT consulting work and general interneting, but I would like a 24" or larger screen to dedicate to it.
- Microsoft Surface Pro 2 - I'm interesting in turning this into a touch screen and pen input for the system if that's an option
- Several older Windows PCs that probably won't be useful for this project, though I may set up one as a headless slave for backups, cloud syncing, torrents, or other constant on applications
- 10+ TB unRAID server for backups and media storage
- Google Pixel XL and Daydream View - my everyday phone, and hoping to use the Daydream View to share content with others while not at home
- Samsung 42" 720p 600Hz Plasma HDTV PN42B450 - I was thinking about using this as a video monitor for editing and color work, but I'm happy to be talked out of it since obviously 720p is getting dated. The color on this TV is amazing though.
I plan to control the whole system with a single keyboard and mouse using Synergy, though I would like each computer to have a dedicated monitor (except for the headless constant on one, which could be RDP)
For monitors, I'm looking for suggestions on:
1 x 27" or larger screen, likely 4k
2 x 24" or larger screens, 1080p or 4k
I've read that one application of VR is to create virtual monitor arrays. If this is a realistic option (and cheaper), then I'm interested.
While this is from 2014, I've looked at The Desk (http://www.willudesign.com/?project=the-desk-test) for insight about video editing specific builds. It seems like cramming as much RAM in there as possible and adding software arrays of SSDs in RAID 0 and HDDs in RAID 10 are my biggest take-aways.
Here's where I'm currently at with the PC components:
CPU: Intel Core i7 6850K, 6900K, or 6950X (based on this review of Premiere's multicore performance on various CPUs: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/ar...06/#Conclusion)
CPU cooler: maybe a self contained water cooler? not sure
RAM: As much as I can cram in there, 32 - 64 GB or more
SSDs: I have a 240 GB SSD already that I may throw in there, but I'll probably want to get two for a RAID 0 to run the OS and software.
HDDs: I've got 10+ TB of storage in my unRAID server, so I only need HDDs for scratch disks and game installs. Probably a RAID 10 of a few 7200 RPM 2, 3, or 4 TB drives, whichever is the best value.
RAID controller: will probably use the motherboard's software RAID, unless advised against it.
GPU: nVidia 1080 (recommended by a friend, open to other suggestions)
Mobo: whatever can handle all of the above
PSU: Seasonic Gold 650w (already own this, I expect it will power everything, but will upgrade if needed)
Case: Antec p180 (already own this, great case, but open to something new if it won't fit all of the above)
Other: Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder - required by Resolve for full screen previews, takes up a PCIe 4x or better slot
OS: Windows 10
I'm looking for advice and guidance on all aspects of this build. Thank you!
Here's what I'm imagining for the monitor array (I like one of the 24" monitors vertical for scopes and Premiere's menus, the other will be hooked up to the Surface):

Sounds like you've pretty much got it figured out. You want a newish i7 with lots of threads, a powerful GPU and lots of RAM.
I don't like to put water in my PC so I would go for a Noctua heatsink for the CPU. They can also be very quiet.
For monitors you're going to have to look at some stores that serve your state, maybe Amazon? Try to get something with a high Adobe RBG coverage for colour reproduction.Medical Physics student, Programmer, VR Enthusiast

Thanks very much for your feedback! A friend has been selling me on the HTC Vive over the Rift due to the 'room size' experience. Since I'll have a room I'm dedicating to this that seems like a good fit for me. Do you have any strong opinions either way? My understanding is that the tech specs are pretty much the same for either system.
I'm also interested in playing with a Leap Motion and/or Kinect camera for body control. I've used both before and I think there's a lot of potential there, though I don't know what the integration is like these days. Not sure if that would affect this build at all...
I'm also interested in fancy surround sound acoustics (as well as acoustic baffling to reduce and control reverb) instead of requiring headphones to be worn. Any suggestions there?
Amazon and Newegg will likely be my source for most of this stuff, maybe an occasional trip to Best Buy. I'll check out the Noctua heatsinks, thanks.

For the Leap and Kinect just make sure you have enough good USB ports, which higher-end motherboards have a lot of. I recently did a VR build for some people in the NHS with the ASRock Fatal1ty K6 motherboard, which has a lot of USB 3.0 ports, a 3.1 type-c and zero USB 2.0 ports. This is great for accommodating the Rift's USB requirements, but also helps with peripherals.
Good positional audio without headphones is difficult because the traditional 5.1 and 7.1 setups work best on the fact that you are facing in a certain direction. I'm not sure how well they would work if you're moving around in VR, and I think headphones are going to work much better for accurate positional audio. The Rift's headphones are quite simple to use but personally I use ATH-M50X headphones with my Vive.Medical Physics student, Programmer, VR Enthusiast

Thanks again! I just discovered this monitor on another forum:
29" Class 21:9 UltraWide® Full HD IPS LED Monitor
Currently $250 at amazon, looks like it goes on sale at $200 from time to time. Looks pretty sexy to me, though I've never dealt in the 21:9 aspect ratio. It mentions:
sRGB Over 99%
sRGB is the standard color space of ideal color reproduction. So, with over 99% coverage of the sRGB spectrum, this LG monitor is a great solution for professional photographers, graphic designers or anyone looking for highly accurate color.

sRGB is a smaller range of colours, but 99% of the spectrum is good - better than most devices. You only get full sRGB on high quality displays, and maxing out Adobe RGB is very rare.
Surface Pro 4, which has a very nice display, is 100% sRGB. Most monitors don't really come close.
What you've found looks like a nice monitor, though you may want to consider G-Sync if you're interested in gaming on it.Medical Physics student, Programmer, VR Enthusiast

Personally, I'd go with a bigger main monitor but that's just me. I actually am using a 49" 4K LG right now. Picked it up on impulse as it was on clearance for $275(!) at a bigbox store in my area. It is a tv, but 4K 60hz is sufficient for me (not an avid multi player gamer where refresh/framerate is important). Note if you go the tv route, you probably need to use the Game setting, or tweak the image, as out of the box, it isn't great to display apps. With the correct settings it is as good as any monitor I have though.Comments posted in plain text are my own, comments posted as a moderator will be posted in blue.
I keep mixing up Adobe RGB and sRGB, sorry about that. tosvos, I hear you about getting a bigger screen. I've had good experiences using a 32" TV as a video editing monitor in the past, so I am considering getting a single large screen (a 42"+ TV) instead of an array of smaller screens. I'm also less concerned with refresh rate, as the screen will be primarily used for work and not for gaming. I expect to do more and more gaming in the VR headset as I get used to that format. Liam, I also looked at the G-Sync monitors, and they do look pretty amazing, but the price seems unreasonable at the moment. I'll definitely keep my eye on them over coming months though...
I'm browsing Newegg's current sale and this jumped out at me:
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming GV-N1080G1 GAMING-8GD Video Card
That's the nVideo 1080 GPU that a friend recommended for VR applications, correct? Only $40 off, but its something at least. I might jump on that one unless y'all suggest otherwise.
Also considering a pair of these for RAID 1 (OS, apps, game installs):
PNY CS1311 2.5" 240GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSD7CS1311-240-RB
More components:
ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Professional Gaming i7 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Very similar to the K6 mobo you mentioned, but has one extra PCIe x16 slot and dual LAN, also on sale for $150
Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530
Not on sale, costs $340. Seemed to be the best value of the socket 1151 CPUs, after brief comparisons and research. I've realized that the socket 2011-v3 CPUs I referenced in my original post cost $600 at minimum, so they may push my budget up too high. Still, I'll probably try a build based on those and compare the end prices.
Will one of the 6700K CPU be enough, or should I shell out for the 6850K or better?
Also, I'm currently looking at motherboards that max out at 64 GB of RAM. Sufficient, or should I consider the ones that max out at 128 GB?

That motherboard also has a lot of USB 2.0 instead of 3.0 or above, so check if that will be an issue.
Yes the GTX 1080 will be very good. If you're feeling like spending more you could even look at the Titan X (Pascal).
There's nothing that will make 64GB of RAM and the 6700K bad, but if you want to shell out extra for the luxury then you may see some benefit.Medical Physics student, Programmer, VR Enthusiast

Cautious Leinster should know all about the Tigers' history of inflicting pain on the road
Joe Schmidt knows Leicester cannot be taken for granted, writes Brendan Fanning
T hree things stand out from the preamble to the last time Leinster and Leicester met in Lansdowne Road in a Heineken Cup quarter-final.
It was 2005, the year Declan Kidney was in Donnybrook, and Leinster had come out of their pool with full marks, a trick they have only managed twice in 16 years of competition. This six-out-of-six performance prompted one hapless reporter to suggest to Reggie Corrigan that, seeing as Leinster had topped the race into the quarters and Leicester had only got over the line in a photo finish for last place, surely the home team would be hot favourites to progress? You could actually hear Corrigan groan.
Actually that was the second thing. The first had come when the Leicester players were flying home from Calvisano, their final pool game, and were informed en route that they would have to go to Dublin in the quarters. They cheered.
The third was on the day itself. You watched the Tigers jogging to the dressing-room after an eyeballs-out warm-up, you saw the look on the faces of Martin Corry and Martin Johnson and Lewis Moody, and you knew the sun wouldn't be coming out again that day. It was a game that never really started.
Why are we banging on about a contest that happened six years ago and now has only a handful of survivors between the two teams? Because it was a fixture that really appealed to Leicester; it was right up their narrow street. As with the pool game in Thomond Park in 2007, when they ruined Munster's unbeaten record just before the diggers moved in to the old ground, this is the best team in England against the best team in Ireland before a full house and a with lots at stake.
It fuels the fire too that England, with five Tigers on board, lost to Ireland at this venue a fortnight ago -- not because there is any burning desire to alter that record, rather to prove that it doesn't matter: this is Leicester, not England. And they are big enough and sufficiently focused to return to the scene of the mugging and not worry about being beaten up again.
Central to that would have been how they trained last Monday. Leicester like to set standards on two fronts when they practice: the internationals are viewed in the same light as the journeymen; and the physicality tends towards the brutal. This was something of an eye-opener for Shane Jennings when he moved over there a couple of months after that 2005 quarter-final. His abiding memory is of wholesale battering.
"And apparently when I went there it was a lot tamer than it had been as well," he says. "(Graham) Rowntree and those lads and (Martin) Johnson used to just bash the young lads, and those young lads, by the time I got there, were in the middle of their professional career. And they were bashing the young lads.
"Lads were coming out of Monday night games fronting up on Tuesday mornings for a physical lineout defence session or a mauling session and that was just the way it was. I remember my first scrummaging session: I was propping David Young -- he plays for Edinburgh now, he was about 18 or 19 at the time -- and there was just a big digging match. He didn't hold back at all -- against Rowntree -- and Rowntree was loving it. That was just the way it was and I was thinking, 'What the f**k have I got myself into here?' I think I'd seen one or two dings in Leinster -- I think between Eric (Miller) and Trev (Brennan) -- and that was about it. That was probably about the height of it. It was just the whole training ethos they have. I don't know whether it's the right way or the wrong way -- strength and conditioning coaches will have their opinion, but it works for them. They train hard during the week and play hard at the weekend and that's the way it has always been at Leicester. That's the way it will be with Cockers, anyway."
Cockers is Richard Cockerill who has done a better job as coach than you might have imagined. They buy shrewdly -- number eight Thomas Waldrom doesn't look like the modern number eight but he is all there -- and everyone who comes in the door surrenders to their ethic and single-mindedness. In this regard, Cockerill was the perfect man to carry the torch after the club had gone off beam first in hiring Eddie O'Sullivan's Argie pal, Marcelo Loffreda, and then his replacement, Heyneke Meyer, had to go back to South Africa within a few months of getting the gig.
Under Cockerill, they have added another two Premiership titles. He was the face they saw first thing on the Monday morning when the England crew fetched up after a hard weekend in Dublin. Hard yakka so it was.
"It was the only thing we could do," he says. "What's gone and done with their country, whichever country it is, you keep an eye on it but it's not my concern. My focus is not to worry about consoling them or congratulating them it's about: 'Right you're back at Leicester and you've got a job to do'.
"I treat everybody the same, whether it's a world-class player like Tom Croft or a squad player. They'll get the same treatment whoever they are to get the best for Leicester.
"You've got to be consistent. I don't want to talk about Ireland v England. To be fair, all the players have been pretty much the same. They understand what the crack is, they understand I'm not interested in what they do with their countries, what I'm interested in is what they're going to give for the club and their team-mates at the weekend."
Last weekend, the Tigers demolished Bath. At least that's how it seemed. The 37-6 scoreline was hard to miss but beneath the radar there were enough line breaks conceded by Cockerill's team -- where the power of the Tuilagis is undermined by defensive indiscipline -- to give Joe Schmidt areas to attack. And Leinster are as well equipped as any team in Europe to do that.
For the rest of the week they will be talking about how tight the final was in 2009, where injuries tore a hole in Leicester's challenge, and of the defeats by the Tigers in 2005 and 2008. Jennings (pictured) and Leo Cullen will be prevailed upon to tell more stories of their two seasons in Welford Road and how it helped their game. And all of it will focus Leinster heads on the idea that unless they are at the top of their game this could all go horribly wrong.
Perhaps the last time they would have felt like this was against Clermont, also at Lansdowne Road, when they produced an awesome level of aggression and accuracy. The starting point to going down that road again will be to deny the Tigers space, and quickly. Leinster too have their own bandwagon which is on a roll. "That's something I noticed when I came back (from Leicester)," Jennings says. "It was just incredible the interest and involvement in the whole province and I think that's something that's been very, very positive because there are so many guys from various parts of the province and everybody feels involved. I know busloads of relatives, friends and families do come down. It's very encouraging from a personal level and then for the team as well because we really feel that we want to play for our province. We want to have that feedback from the fans and it has happened. That's one of the things that I've really noticed, and it's a massively positive thing."
It's unrecognisable from 2005.

The European Deli store that Bella and Alex Faktorovich opened during the summer of 2009 at 3579 Atlanta Highway in the Academy Sports shopping center closed at the end of last year.
The deli served European gourmet foods. Bella Faktoravich said business was not strong enough to sustain the Athens store.

Tower Crane Operator
Operate a huge tower crane to move around heavy materials.
A railroad switch is used at a train intersection. Here, the train can continue going forward, or a switch can be thrown so the train can go on a different set of tracks and move in a different direction. A Switchman is responsible for throwing those switches, and typically works in a railyard, where several lines of track interconnect.
If you worked as a Switchman in the 1850s, you would throw these switches by hand, and they could be quite heavy. Now, you use computers and hydraulic engines to move the switches from one position to another. You may be dealing with several trains and several switches at one time, so you must remember what switches you've thrown, and determine where the trains are going.
You get instructions from the Freight Operator, and you must follow those instructions to the letter. Trains are large and difficult to stop, so there's no margin for error here. You won't be able to stop and think, or else you might be in for an exciting afternoon full of incident reports and paperwork.
As a Switchman, you may also be required to help set brakes on the train, or help the train's crew add or remove cars. Your job involves some paperwork as well. You keep track of the trains as they come and go, and provide reports of the switches you've thrown and whether or not the trains stayed on schedule as a result of your work. You may also be required to attend safety meetings.

New Zealand coach Steve Hansen on Thursday promised "a performance to be proud of" in their Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa as he announced just one change to his team.
Joe Moody comes in for loosehead prop Wyatt Crockett who suffered a groin strain in the All Blacks' 62-13 quarter-final win over France.
"We're ready to go," Hansen said ahead of Saturday's (Sunday 0200 AEDT) Twickenham clash.
The defending champions had prepared well during the week to "produce another game we can all be proud of" after demolishing France.
"Though we've met (South Africa) many times over the years, we've only played three times at the Rugby World Cup and these Cup finals matches are totally different," Hansen said.
"They have a live-or-die nature to them and both teams will be desperate to advance.
"As a group, we're really looking forward to this challenge.
"It will require a massive amount of intensity and composure and accurate skill execution. This team has high expectations of itself and enjoys the big occasions."
Moody was called into the New Zealand side after Tony Woodcock was injured and put out of the tournament in their final pool game against Tonga.
This is the fewest changes the All Blacks have made to their starting line-up so far in the tournament and the smallest between successive World Cup matches since making no changes to the side who defeated Australia in the 2011 semi-finals and went on to beat France in the final.
Winger Julian Savea, who crossed for three of the All Blacks' nine tries against France, has scored eight tries to equal the single tournament record held by South Africa's Bryan Habana, who he faces on Saturday and All Blacks great Jonah Lomu.
The All Blacks' matchday 23 has an average age of 28 and 1318 caps in experience.
All Blacks:
Ben Smith, Nehe Milner-Skudder, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Dan Carter, Aaron Smith; Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (capt), Jerome Kaino, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Joe Moody.
Res: Keven Mealamu, Ben Franks, Charlie Faumuina, Victor Vito, Sam Cane, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Beauden Barrett, Sonny Bill Williams.

IC&E moves headquarters from the UK to Dubai
International Conferences and Exhibitions (IC&E) has decided to relocate its headquarters from London to Dubai in a strategic move aimed at serving the growing markets of the Middle East.
According to Managing Director of IC&E, David Domoney, the relocation would further enhance ICE's ability to create events tailored to the region's requirements, while at the same time enable it to leverage the accumulated local expertise to add value to existing events as well as create new trade shows.
IC&E has been the name behind many exhibitions held in Dubai for several years. A number of other niche exhibitions are in the pipeline and a new addition to the existing portfolio will be the launch of the Student Show 2003.
As a result of the relocation, IC&E is geared to bring more refinements to its existing exhibitions, including Arab Lab and Instrumentation, Middle East Instrumentation & Automation, Global Entertainment & Media Exhibition (GEMEX), World of Education, Gulf Education and Training Exhibition, Human Resources Middle East and the Arab Oil and Gas Show. — (menareport.com)
