The Sak Iris Satchel 24 24
Perfect iPad Case! This satchel is a really great size! It is not too big to carry as a regular purse, but big enough to carry my iPad when I need to take it with me. It is flat and rests well against the body. It is stylish with great stitching accents. Rolls up perfectly for compact packing. Big enough to be an easy shore bag. Strap is long enough to fit across the body and has a shoulder pad to make carrying heavier items comfortable. July 2, 2010
not travel smith standard This bag looks nice BUT is poorly made. The strap is secured ONLY by a single line of low quality stitching. Mine broke after a week and the leather repair shop I approached said they couldn't fix it either with stitches or rivets because of the location of the zipper. NOT Travel Smith standard - should not be in their catalogue. March 24, 2011
Excellent for travel I purchased the copper one and love the color; it will go with everything. It will be terrific for travel--close to the body, comfortable crossbody strap, room for alot, small outside safe pockets for passport. I will use it for every trip. May 7, 2010
Not so good This bag was a good size and configuration for me--there was a place for all the things I carry. However, the finish was tacky, and after a month started to rub off (from "pyrite" to red). Other reviewers have noted that its handle sometimes breaks and cannot be repaired; I noticed that the ends were beginning to fray. While traveling in Europe, I bought a replacement bag and put this one in a nearby trash can. October 4, 2011
Poor Quality I love the size of the bag and that you can easily wear it cross-body. However, the strap pulled out after using it only twice while I was on vacation. I am trying to return the purse but no longer have the receipt. I would love to try another one but I am afraid that it too will be poorly made. I would not recommend anyone taking a chance with this. May 30, 2011
Beautiful soft leather....but The leather on this purse is really soft. I love it but I really wish that they had used leather on the strap. The webbing as the handle takes the purse from really classy to nice but.... Rethink this design, please SAK use the leather and I would be back for more colors. March 30, 2011
Broke in 2nd week of use I liked it a lot until the pull tab broke within the first 2 weeks of use. I am looking into returning it now. November 23, 2010
Perfect for somone who Hates Pocketbooks I find this purse great because it contains the right size pockets to hold my small things and larger things that I need close to the top; while the larger bulkier things go to the bottom and can be seen easily. The outside zipper and unzip pockets offer a great place to keep things handy. The inside fabric is very nice. The strap originally caused me a minor concern but the leather slide offers a comfortable rest for the sholder. The leather is so soft and the detail is super nice. I like it very much and have received many comments on how nice it is from others. October 5, 2011

And don't forget to pay close attention to that date printed on the back of the card.
Once that date passes, any remaining balance on your card expires.
These terms and conditions govern your use of the Simon Rewardcard ("Terms and Conditions"). By purchasing, signing or using the Simon Rewardcard ("Card"), you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions. The terms "you" and "your" refer to the person who is using the Card. The terms "we" "our" and "us" refer to American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. and its licensees, including American Express Prepaid Card Management Company, LLC ("AEPCMC"), the issuer of the Card.
The Card is a prepaid payment device with a set dollar value that is either printed on the front of the Card or selected by the purchaser at the time of purchase. You can find out your balance by visiting www.simon.com/rewardcard or calling toll free within the United States - 1-800-297-7327 ("Customer Service Number"). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS CARD WAS GIVEN TO YOU AS A REWARD AND THAT NO CONSIDERATION, VALUE OR MONEY HAS BEEN PAID BY YOU IN EXCHANGE FOR THIS CARD. The Card can be used at merchants in the United States, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands that accept the American Express Card ("Merchant"). The Card cannot be used at cruise lines, casinos and ATMs, or for recurring billing purchases such as monthly utilities and subscriptions. Car rentals may only accept the Card at the end of the rental. The Card is not a credit, charge or debit card. Except where required by law, the Card is not redeemable for cash.
This Card has no dormancy or back-end service fees.
The funds on your Card expire on the date printed on the back of your Card, subject to applicable law. After that date, the Card cannot be used and will not have any value.
Before Using The Card
If the Card requires activation, we reserve the right to delay activation and use of the Card for up to four (4) hours after purchase.
Available Funds:
The value of the funds available on the Card at any given time is your "Available Funds." As you use the Card, the Available Funds will be reduced by the full amount of each purchase, including taxes and any fees. Once the Available Funds are depleted, the Card is no longer valid and you agree not to use the Card.
Track Your Balance:
Keep track of the Available Funds on your Card. You may obtain information about the Available Funds on your Card at any time by calling the Customer Service Number or visiting www.simon.com/rewardcard. Your Available Funds balance will reflect all authorization requests that have been submitted by Merchants.
Lost or Stolen Cards:
If your Card is lost or stolen contact us immediately at the Customer Service Number. You must provide the Card number and other identifying details to replace a lost or stolen Card. If there are Available Funds remaining on the Card, we will cancel the Card and send you a replacement card in the amount of Available Funds on your lost/stolen Card at the time you notified us that it was lost/stolen. NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR AMOUNTS DEBITED FROM YOUR LOST/STOLEN CARD BEFORE YOU NOTIFY US. We reserve the right to decline to issue a replacement Card for lost or stolen Cards.
Using the Card at Merchants:
Present the Card to the Merchant at the time of payment and sign the receipt. Retain the receipt as a record of the transaction. You agree to use the Card only for lawful purposes. You authorize us to deduct the full amount of each purchase including taxes and any other fees from the Available Funds whenever your Card is used to make a purchase. The Card is not transferable. You acknowledge that purchases made with the Card are similar to those made with cash or travelers cheques. You cannot "stop payment" or lodge a "billing dispute" on such transactions. Any problems or disputes you may have regarding a purchase should be addressed directly with the Merchant. If you have a question about a transaction that has been posted to your Card, notify us immediately by calling the Customer Service Number, but no later than sixty (60) days from the date of the transaction.
For Purchases Greater Than Amount on the Card:
Depending on the Merchant's policy, you may be able to use the Card with another form of payment, such as cash, check, or another card, to make a purchase. This is known as a "Split Tender Transaction". To perform such a transaction:
Some retailers, particularly department stores, will only allow a Split Tender Transaction if the second form of payment is cash or check. Some internet or mail order merchants do not permit or may have difficulty performing Split Tender Transactions. We do not guarantee that the Merchant will accept two forms of payment, such as 2 prepaid cards.
For Purchases on the Internet:
You can also use your Card for purchases from Merchants over the internet or by mail-order. However, some internet and mail order Merchants do not permit or may have difficulty performing reward card transactions. If you experience any issues with making purchases online or by mail order with your Card, please contact the Customer Service Number for assistance.
Preauthorization Requests for Certain Purchases:
Some Merchants (such as restaurants and salons) will obtain an authorization on the Card for an amount up to 20% more than the total bill to cover any gratuity that may be added. Gas stations will also secure an authorization on the Card for an estimated purchase amount to ensure that adequate funds are available to cover the final purchase. Although only the actual amount you authorize will ultimately be deducted from the value of the Card, the entire amount of the authorization will remain unavailable until the actual transaction posts (typically within 3 business days).
Returning Merchandise:
If you wish to return any merchandise purchased with the Card, you will be subject to the Merchant's return policies. If the Merchant agrees to issue a credit to the Card, such funds may not be available for 3 to 7 days.
No Warranties:
We are not responsible or liable to you (i) for any interruption of Card service, (ii) for the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any goods or services purchased from any Merchant with your Card, (iii) if any Merchant refuses to honor the Card or special offers and/or (iv) for any other problems you may have with any Merchant. If you have a dispute with a Merchant, you agree to settle the dispute directly with the Merchant. If a Merchant fails to honor the Card, please call the Customer Service Number to report the incident.
Changing These Terms and Conditions:
We may change the terms of, or add new terms to, these Terms and Conditions at any time, with or without notice, subject to applicable law. In addition, we may suspend, cancel, add, modify or delete any feature offered in connection with your Card, with or without notice, subject to applicable law. Any notice given by us shall be deemed given when posted on www.simon.com/rewardcard. The most up-to-date Terms and Conditions may always be found at www.simongiftcard.com/rewardcard. If www.simongiftcard.com/rewardcard is unavailable, notices will be deemed to be given when posted, and current Terms and Conditions will be available, on www.americanexpress.com/reward.
Assignment and Waiver:
We may assign these Terms and Conditions to a third party at any time without notice to you. However, if we assign these Terms and Conditions, the terms will remain substantially and materially the same unless you are notified. If we reimburse you for a refund claim you have made for a lost or stolen Card, or if we otherwise provide you with a credit or payment with respect to any problem arising out of any transaction made with the Card, you are automatically deemed to assign and transfer to us any rights and claims, excluding tort claims, that you have, had or may have against any third party for an amount equal to the amount we have paid to you or credited to your Card. You agree that you will not pursue any claim against, or reimbursement from, such third party for the amount that we paid or credited to your Card, and that you will cooperate with us if we decide to pursue the third party for the amount paid or credited. Neither our failure to exercise any of our rights under these Terms and Conditions, nor our delay in enforcing or exercising any of our rights, shall constitute a waiver of such rights. If we waive any right under these Terms and Conditions on one occasion, such waiver shall not operate as a waiver as to any other occasion.
Data Protection and Privacy:
During any Customer Service call, we may request that you provide the card security code printed on the front of your Card, as well as additional identification information such as your home phone number, date of birth, and zip code. We will use this data for a range of purposes, including but not limited to facilitating refunds if the Card is lost or stolen, enhancing usage at Merchants that may require zip code authorization, and aiding in collection efforts in the event of a "shortage. We may obtain personal information ("Cardholder Information") about you, including information (i) provided to us by the Card purchaser, such as your name and/or your address, (ii) provided by you at the time of activation or during customer service calls, and (iii) about purchases made with the Card, such as the date, the amount and the place of purchase. For purposes of fraud prevention and regulatory compliance, we may also obtain information from providers of identity verification data and demographic information. Only those persons who need it to perform their job responsibilities are authorized to have access to Cardholder Information. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural security measures that comply with federal regulations to safeguard Cardholder Information.
We will use Cardholder Information to process Card transactions, to provide customer service, to process claims for lost or stolen Cards and to help protect against fraud. We also use Cardholder Information for marketing purposes and to conduct research and analysis and we may disclose Cardholder Information for the same purposes to companies that work with us. For example, we may provide certain Cardholder Information to companies, including our affiliated companies, that perform business operations or services, including marketing services, on our behalf. We may provide certain Cardholder Information to others outside of American Express as permitted by law, such as to government entities or other third parties in response to subpoenas.
We may develop marketing programs and send you offers for products and services. We do not share customer addresses with other companies for them to market their own products and services. If you prefer not to receive offers, you may opt out by calling us in the United States toll free at 1-800-722-8614. If you opt out from receiving these offers, we may still send important information about the Card or other American Express products and services to you.
Telephone Monitoring/Recording:
From time to time we may monitor and/or record telephone calls between you and us to assure the quality of our customer service or as required by applicable law.
Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes:
This Arbitration Provision sets forth the circumstances and procedures under which Claims (defined below) that arise between you and us will be resolved through binding arbitration. This means that neither you nor we will have the right to litigate that Claim in court or have a jury trial on that Claim. Other rights that you would have in court also may not be available or may be limited in arbitration, including your right to appeal and your ability to participate in a class action. Nothing in this provision precludes you from filing and pursuing your individual Claim in a small claims court in your state or municipality, so long as that Claim is pending only in that court.
As used in this Arbitration Provision, the term "Claim" shall mean and include any claim, dispute or controversy of every kind and nature, whether based in law or equity, between you and us arising from or relating to the Card or these Terms and Conditions, as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us or the relationships resulting from any of the above agreements ("Agreements"), including the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision or the Agreements. "Claim" also includes claims by or against any third party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with the Card (including, but not limited to, third parties who accept the Card, third parties who use, provide or participate in programs accessed with the Card, enrollment services and rewards programs, debt collectors and all of their agents, employees, directors and representatives) if and only if, such third party is named as a co-party with you or us (or files a Claim with or against you or us) in connection with a Claim asserted by you or us against the other. As used in this Arbitration Provision, "you" and "us" also includes any corporate parent, or wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, any licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns, any purchaser of any accounts, all agents, employees, directors and representatives of any of the foregoing, and any third party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with the Card.
Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Administrator:
Any Claim shall be resolved, upon the election by you or us, by arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Provision and the code of procedures of the national arbitration organization to which the Claim is referred in effect at the time the Claim is filed (the "Code"), except to the extent the Code conflicts with this Agreement. Claims shall be referred to either JAMS ("JAMS") or the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as selected by the party electing to use arbitration. If a selection by us of either of these organizations is unacceptable to you, you shall have the right within 30 days after you receive notice of our election to select the other organization listed to serve as arbitration administrator. For a copy of the procedures, to file a Claim or for other information about these organizations, contact (1) JAMS at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92614; www.jamsadr.com, (2) AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, www.adr.org. In addition to the arbitration organizations listed above, Claims may be referred to any other arbitration organization that is mutually agreed upon in writing by you and us, or to an arbitration organization or arbitrator(s) appointed pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1-16, provided that any such arbitration organization and arbitrator(s) will enforce the terms of the Restrictions on Arbitration provision set forth below.
Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions:
Arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator's authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to Claims between you and us alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms and Conditions (including the "Continuation" provision below), and without waiving either party's right of appeal, if any portion of this "Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions" provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration Provision (other than this sentence) shall not apply.
Arbitration Procedures:
This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as it may be amended ("FAA"), and the applicable Code. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence shall not apply. Written requests to expand the scope of discovery rest within the arbitrator's sole discretion and shall be determined pursuant to the applicable Code. The arbitrator shall take reasonable steps to preserve the privacy of individuals, and of business matters. Judgment upon the written arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Subject to the right of appeal under the FAA, the arbitrator's written decision will be final and binding unless you or we take an appeal from the award by making a dated, written request to the arbitration organization within 30 days from the date of entry of the written arbitral award. A three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration organization shall consider anew any aspect of the award objected to by the appellant, conduct an arbitration pursuant to its Code and issue its decision within 120 days of the date of the appellant's written notice. The panel's majority vote decision shall be final and binding.
Location of Arbitration/Payment of Fees:
The arbitration shall take place in the federal judicial district of your residence. Irrespective of who prevails in arbitration, you will only be responsible for paying your share, if any, of the arbitration fees required by the applicable Code, which amount shall not exceed the filing fees you would have incurred if the Claim had been brought in the appropriate state or federal court closest to your residence. We will pay the remainder of any arbitration fees. At your written request, we will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of all or part of your share of the arbitration fees. Waivers also may be available from the JAMS or AAA.
This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of the Card, as well as voluntary payment in full of any Shortages, any debt collection proceeding by or between you and us, and any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision, except the "Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions" provision above, is deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision, these Terms and Conditions or any predecessor agreement you may have had with us, each of which shall be enforceable regardless of such invalidity.
These Terms and Conditions and your Card, and all questions about their legality, enforceability and interpretation, are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA (without regard to internal principles of conflicts of law).
By signing or using the Card you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions in their entirety. Should you wish not to be bound by these Terms and Conditions in their entirety you must, prior to using the Card, request and obtain a refund of the value of the card by calling 1-877-297-4438.

Trending with Rob Hunter: Dennis Rodman, Chris Christie and the Baseball Hall of Fame

Here's the stories everyone is talking about this week:
Dennis Rodman goes to North Korea (almost sounds like a movie title, right? Too bad it's real life). He does an interview and gets in an argument because he isn't doing enough for the American that is jailed in the country. Are we expecting too much out of Rodman?
Chris Christie is back in the news for politics at its finest. You don't like my run for re-election? I'll close the George Washington Bridge on-ramp!
Last, the Baseball Hall of Fame; Bonds, McGwire, Clemens -- not enough votes because the baseball writers are baseball's moral police. They're still not in the Hall, but Glavine, Maddux and Frank Thomas were voted in this week.

MAGIC STREET by Orson Scott Card: book trailer from Andy Lindsay on Vimeo.
To guarantee you don't miss out on anything Uncle Orson has to say, we are introducing Uncle Orson On the Fly - a paid subscription to pretty much everything Uncle Orson has to say.
Listen to an excerpt at SoundCloud
Victor Delgado beat the alien ship to Earth, but just barely. Not soon enough to convince skeptical governments that there was a threat. They didn�t believe that until space stations and ships and colonies went up in sudden flame.
And when that happened, only Mazer Rackham and the Mobile Operations Police could move fast enough to meet the threat.
Fans of Ender's Game will thrill to Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston's Earth Afire.
"I think it's impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves."

In announcing the 2013 Fellows, Guggenheim President Edward Hirsch noted, "It's exciting to name 175 new Guggenheim Fellows. These artists and writers, scholars and scientists, represent the best of the best. Since 1925, the Guggenheim Foundation has always bet everything on the individual, and we're thrilled to continue the tradition with this wonderfully talented and diverse group. It's an honor to be able to support these individuals to do the work they were meant to do."

Do you know how mysterious trees are? This book will show you.....walk with me through the beauty and mysteriousness of Trees.
Acerca del autorRosita
Damona-Art Belgium
Why have I become a Photographer? That's easy, because I just lOVE Photography! It's an expression of real feelings. That's important in life to deal with all our emotions, the bad and the good ones. Every photo has it's own soul and emotion.....especially trees do have feelings and therefore I like to remain in the forests and listen to them. I'm also attracted to abandoned places which still have the feeling of years ago and which no-one cares anymore, but I do. My Photography will always express how I feel at that moment. especially the moment I took the photo. That can be from heavenly inspired until the darkness of the underworld. I live in a Fantasyworld where nothing is impossible, I think that's my way to escape the real world when I want to and nature helps me with that. Thanks for stopping by! Rosita

Recipe Rebellion: A Year Of Contrarian Cookbooks
"Whole foods blog." Ten years ago, that phrase might have drawn blank stares. But today it's a genre: a vegetable-centric but not necessarily vegetarian approach to healthy (and slightly hedonistic) eating. As a blog and as a book, Sprouted Kitchen exemplifies the winning formula: fresh visuals, easy-enough-for-everyday recipes, a willingness to mix it up with unlikely ingredient pairings. Sara Forte is particularly

Recipe: 'Brussel Leaf And Baby Spinach Saute'
Serves 4
1 pound brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine or champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
4 cups baby spinach
2 generous pinches of sea salt
1/2 cup Marcona almonds
Working with one brussels sprout at a time, peel each individual leaf, starting from the outside and working toward the middle. Continue to peel until you get to the tough core where it is just too tight to pull any more leaves. Discard the core and put the leaves in a big bowl. Repeat with the remaining brussels sprouts.
Over medium heat, warm the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add all of the brussels leaves and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and maple syrup and toss to coat. Add the spinach to the pan and toss until it is just barely wilted. It is better just slightly underdone in this case, as it will continue to cook in its own heat.
Sprinkle with the salt and Marcona almonds and serve immediately.

More time to name Darwen mascot
1:24pm Thursday 6th December 2012 in News
YOUNGSTERS in Darwen have been given another month to come up with a name for Darwen's new mascot.
A Darwen Tower-shaped suit was bought by the town council in a bid to promote the town and its events.
And primary schoolchildren across the town have been invited to suggest names for the mascot, with the winner being decided by the town mayor, Coun Eileen Entwistle.
Children now have until the next council meeting on Tuesday, January 8, to come up with suggestions. Ideas can be sent via email to email@example.com.

Has anyone climbed through the ledges in the December? Looking to get beta if you have.
I spoke with my father last night (Dale Ebersbacher, who with my mother, Fran Ebersbacher, discovered the Ledges), and his exact quote was, "You wouldn't catch me up there in December." So, there's one answer for you. Diana Ebersbacher
Straight from the horse's mouth. So cool.
Haha, so good! As if the kitty litter all over the ledges in the summer aren't interesting enough... After lucking out and successfully guessing my way through them, I was ready to change my name to Ebersbacher..
I don't know anything about Ebersbacher's Ledges in December. However, last September I went to descend the trail after a Mt. Russell summit trip and I got caught in a really bad rain storm. The Ledges were one big waterfall. I didn't want to wait it out, it was late in the day, and I was still altitude sick. So I pushed my way down the creekbed through thick vegetation. Overall, it was a miserable experience. My point is that the creek bed was a viable option as a last resort. I strung together various animal trails in between the torrential bushwhacking. Your mileage may vary. It's really cool that Diana checked in!
Thanks Diana! Made a go at it, but the powder was too deep and light to get to the ledges in snowshoes...perhaps a blessing. I was hoping it would be iced over, but too early in the season. @Chris: yeah the granite back in there is real chaucy...sketchy to climb through even with sticky rubber, but if it is covered in ice, crampons might make the going a little easier. Just not enough thaw-freeze cycles this time of year to make that happen. I'll check back in on it late winter early spring.
Pushing straight up the drainage is the way to go during the winter. Willow wallowing is minimal with enough snow. The Ledges are not the way to go during winter months.

The £215 million Aston Student Village has transformed the standard of student accommodation on campus - providing 2,400 brand new rooms, built to the highest standard, all with en suite bathrooms. 1,300 of these opened in 2010 with Phase Two (1,000 rooms) completing in September 2013. There are now 3,017 rooms on campus, all ensuite.
Aston has further improved learning facilities at the University with the expansion and re-development of the Basil Spence designed University Library. The remodelled Library, with its iconic glass façade and bright interior was competed in October 2013
Aston University's Woodcock Sports Centre, complete with beautiful, Grade II listed swimming pool has received multi-million-pound investment and was opened in October 2011 by Sir Doug Ellis OBE, former Chairman of Aston Villa Football Club.
The new £5m purpose-built Aston Brain Centre was officially opened by Tim Melville-Ross CBE (Friday, 7th October 2011), Chair of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). The centre is now an international centre of excellence for research, treatment and teaching.

Reading of Thurber Carnival, with Jason Butler Harner, Jackie Hoffman, Annette O'Toole, Benefits The Pearl Oct. 1
By Andrew Gans
The Pearl Theatre Company kicks off its new season with a reading of the comic revue A Thurber Carnival Oct. 1 at the Pearl Theatre.

The performance begins at 7:30 PM followed by a reception with the cast at 8:45 PM.

"The Tony Award-winning play offers a first-class sampling of Thurber's sparkling wit including 'The Last Flower,' 'File and Forget!' and the incomparable 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.'"
Proceeds from the event go toward The Pearl Theatre Company's The New Stage for the Classics Campaign.
The Pearl Theatre is located at 555 West 42nd Street. For tickets, priced $200, $500 and $1,000, call (212) 563-9261 or visit pearltheatre.org.

Decision due on five year extension
Updated 7:27pm Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News By Matthew Hobbs, Reporter
This live event has finished
- 3C Waste Limited wants to dump rubbish at Arpley for another five years
- Warrington Borough Council rejected an application last year for a 12 year extension
- An appeal against that decision is due to take place in February
- Dumping at Arpley was supposed to end in October last year
- Warrington Borough Council withdrew an enforcement notice that would have ended use of the site, citing legal costs
- Have your say at warrintonguardian.co.uk, or on Twitter @warringtonnews using hashtag #Arpley
But that is a question for another day.
For now, residents will celebrate their victory.
But with this decision likely to face an appeal, and an appeal against a 12 year extension being rejected due next month, the Arpley saga looks set to rumble on.
Thanks for joining us.
So it's all over. For now.
In truth, the arguments against landfill continuing were familiar and the council was quick to agree with residents.
The real question is when will dumping end at Arpley.
The council has already withdrawn an enforcement notice because it cannot afford legal costs.
Remember, landfill was due to end in October last year.
The five year licence extension is rejected unanimously to a chorus of cheers and applause.
7:18pm Thu 23 Jan 14
Star1307 says
When it gets rejected surely this will mean they have to stop dumping rubbish near our homes. Why do they get 6 months to appeal? During the 6 months they will still dump rubbish. I thought they were dumping illegally since nov/dec 2013.
Growing anger among councillors for 3C's failure to show. Clr Lawrence Murphy says it shows 'disdain'.
Clr Bob Barr says he is 'disgusted' and 'appalled'.
Every member of the committee has spoken against the developers.
Clr Geoff Settle says a failure by the applicant to turn up to speak, and answer questions, shows 'contempt' for council and residents.
The application is now being discussed by the planning committee. Councillors also say they are against it.
Seems to be strong feeling in room that application is a delaying tactic so landfill can continue.
7:07pm Thu 23 Jan 14
moleogod says
wanted to be there tonight but not possible. so this will do
A warning for everyone against the application.
Planning officers reveal developers have six months to appeal if licence extension is rejected.
Olivia, a young girl who lives next to Arpley, says she is woken by wagons passing her house, and says flooding is caused by rubbish blocking drains.
Clr Wright finishes by mentioning Warrington Guardian story and agrees that it's time to 'lock up and throw away the key'.
I find it incredible we are here today to consider another planning application for Arpley. We will fight to the bitter end to get landfill closed once and for all.Clr Pat Wright
6:59pm Thu 23 Jan 14
old-codger says
.....NO. End off, Go away, Do one, Hop it, Go dump your rubbish in your own backyard.
There will be no one from 3C speaking in favour of the application. Clr Pat Wright says this shows lack of consideration from company.
Mr Norris finishes by saying further landfill is 'unacceptable legacy' for town's children.
Gets standing ovation from some.
Speaks of 'intimidating wagons with stinking loads'.
People are queuing up to have a go at developers here.
A lot of anger, unsurprising given the history of the site, and long battle for residents for landfill at Arpley to end.
Neighbour Steve Norris is up next.
Warrington South MP David Mowat is also against the licence extension and says matter has been raised in parliament.
Cheers for Mr Harvey, a neighbour to Arpley, after that comment.
It's an awful continuing nuisance that has gone on long enough.Mr Harvey on the landfill site
Mr Harvey is also speaking against.
He criticised the treatment of residents by developers, saying they have shown total disregard.
Goes down well. Solid round of applause.
Derek Moody is first up to speak against the application. Says 5 year extension is not needed and appeals are based on delaying process so dumping can continue.
We're getting under way at the Parr Hall. Lots of residents in attendance
For anyone who can't make it but still wants to get involved, join the debate on Twitter using #Arpley.
There are already some residents waiting in the entrance of the Pyramid's foyer, eager to get going.
Seats will be taken shortly, I'm told.
Need some background on the debate? if you do, then Click here for the full story
Evening one and all.
Warrington Borough Council hosts a planning meeting tonight in the latest stage of the feud over the Arpley landfill site at Sankey Bridges.
It is due to kick off at 6.30pm at the Parr Hall.
All are welcome to attend.

But it is clear from 3C's behaviour in continuing to tip and the Council's climb down in withdrawing its notice to stop tipping served on 3C sometime late in 2013, the Council's paperwork is not and never has been up to scratch, despite what we might hear. Councillors can symbolically wring their hands while publically saying they are 'disgusted' and 'appalled', that it's time 'lock up and throw away the key' or that by its actions 3C shows 'contempt' and 'disdain' for council and residents as much as they like, but this does not detract from the weakness of the Council's position. This is not the first time Warrington residents have suffered from the continuation of tipping beyond what the Council had led them to believe. One of those previously affected residents recently wrote of his sympathy with those affected by Arpley in a letter to the WG.
Surely if this illegal dumping continues the people of Sankey have a right to start a blockade against these wagons. Everyone in the area should be out on the streets protesting against these vile corporate psychopaths.

The Georgia House of Representatives has passed a proposal that would allow the state to avoid losing more than $450 million in federal money for Medicaid has cleared another legislative hurdle.
The chamber voted 147 to 18 for Gov. Nathan Deal's plan that would allow an appointed state board to impose a tax on Georgia hospitals' net patient revenue. The assessment would replace an existing tax that expires June 30. The money is used as state match money to secure additional federal financing for the Medicaid insurance program.
Senate Bill 24 now goes back to the Senate for final consideration of the House changes.
Deal pitched the measure as a way for lawmakers to avoid an explicit vote on extending a tax, while still avoiding steep health care cuts.

'Cat burglar' caught in the act
The cause of a 'crime wave' in a West Wales village has been uncovered – and the culprit has four legs.
Washing has been disappearing from gardens in Llanwrda in Carmarthenshire and it seems Wogan the cat is responsible.
The feline felon has been collecting items of clothing to bring back to his owner Hollie Evans. The cat's criminal activity was uncovered after a trap was laid for Wogan. A tea towel with a message written on it was left out in a nearby garden and Wogan brought, it home confirming him as the cat burglar.
– Hollie Evans, Wogan's owner
He had taken lots of socks, childrens tops,vest tops and adult vest tops. You tend to get mens and womens underwear, childrens tops and t-shirts and even we get men's jumpers as well.

From MarketWatch:The pundits would have us believe that the bull market in bonds is over. That bond prices have nowhere to go but down and yields up.Read more
...Overbought and terrible investments as bonds might be, the market doesn't seem as convinced.
... In other words, bonds might not be the best investment, but the looming bond losses predicted by Fuss, Buffett and others might be a long way off. If that's the case, what should those planning for or living in retirement do with the money they've allocated to fixed-income securities?'''
Reply to pearlbrown:
Diversify across numerous fixed income asset classes, just like you would do with equities. Also, be mindful of the average maturtiy and duration of bond funds. If willing to assume a little more risk, consider REITS, MLPs, and dividend "rich" stocks, but be wary of securities with yields substantially higher than those of comparable securities in the same asset class. Don't do anything unless you are comfortable with the risks involved, and don't invest in anything you don't understand.

Penguin presents the companion book to the Masterpiece Theatre miniseries starring Gillian Anderson (The House of Mirth, The X-Files). This stunning production features a screenplay written by Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones's Diary). Part romance, part melodrama, part detective story, the novel spreads out among a web of relationships in every level of society from the simple-minded Sir Leicester Dedlock, to Jo the street sweeper.
Bleak House opens in the twilight of foggy London, where fog grips the city most densely in the Court of Chancery. The obscure case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, in which an inheritance is gradually devoured by legal costs, the romance of Esther Summerson and the secrets of her origin, the sleuthing of Detective Inspector Bucket and the fate of Jo the crossing-sweeper, these are some of the lives Dickens invokes to portray London society, rich and poor, as no other novelist has done. Bleak House, in its atmosphere, symbolism and magnificent bleak comedy, is often regarded as the best of Dickens. A 'great Victorian novel', it is so inventive in its competing plots and styles that it eludes interpretation.

Not in terms of time elapsed from start to finish. Remember that the Yankees and Tigers took two days to begin their ALDS. But in terms of innings. See, there had been one extra-innings game already, but that game ended in the bottom of the tenth. In Texas today, we're off to the 11th.
And we're off to the 11th because there was nothing doing in the tenth for either team. The Rangers squandered a God damned golden scoring opportunity in the ninth, and then the next inning, Neftali Feliz and Jose Valverde stayed in and kept their respective opponents quiet.
It wasn't clean. Not totally. Feliz walked the first guy he faced. The next guy bunted him to second. But Feliz retired both Alex Avila and Andy Dirks to escape the jam and preserve the tie.
Then Valverde came out and had a much easier half-inning than his first. Ian Kinsler, Elvis Andrus and Josh Hamilton went down 1-2-3, and the score stayed where it was.
Mike Adams is now on for the Rangers in relief of Feliz. And Valverde will presumably come out, having thrown 23 pitches, although I guess it's not out of the question that Jim Leyland could try to stretch him even further. His season high for pitches is 35.

Description of Research
After getting my feet wet in I/O, and cognitive psychology research, I had an opportunity to conduct research in Behavioral Neuroscience at Nebraska Wesleyan University under Dr. Frank Ferraro. This experience led to my curiosities in neuroscience: drug dependence, animal learning, and individual differences. Broadly, I am interested in understanding why some individuals become drug-dependent, while others use drugs recreationally, and do not develop dependence. Recently, ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) have been used as a dependent measure to understand brain chemistry in the mesolimbic dopamine path. The literature on USV suggests these calls are linked to affective state of the rodent and can be evoked my some drugs of abuse, because many drugs of abuse have their pharmacological effect in the mesolimbic pathway. Further, rodents can be bred to be high and low USV callers, suggesting there could be individual differences in calling between animals. My current research focuses on understanding these USVs as both a predictive and dependent measure in understanding acute and chronic stimulant (nicotine and amphetamine) exposure.

Boreham Wood had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Basingstoke Town on Monday night despite a dream start to the clash.
A dramatic opening to the contest saw the hosts take the lead after just 25 seconds.
A long ball was knocked down by Junior Morais and Graeme Montgomery struck a stunning left-footed shot into the net.
Wood could not have asked for a better start to the match but the visitors grew into the game after this setback.
Manager Ian Allinson handed a debut to striker Kudus Oyenuga following his arrival from Dundee United.
The 20-year-old made a decent impression and looked sharp when combining with the excellent Morais.
Basingstoke came close to grabbing an equaliser in the 19th minute when Louie Soares forced James Russell into a fine save.
Wood broke on the counter-attack but Montgomery's cross-shot was comfortably saved by Louis Wells.
Basingstoke went close again through Shaun McAuley but Russell kept out his effort.
However, the away side's pressure was rewarded when they grabbed an equaliser in the 27th minute through Matt Partridge's header.
The hosts were grateful to Russell shortly afterwards when he made a superb save from Louie Soares' free-kick.
Oyenuga almost scored on his Wood debut but the striker's free-kick was well saved by Wells before half-time.
Russell was called into action again early in the second half when he saved an effort from defender Adam Green.
Allinson's side were unlucky not to regain their lead when a Morais shot struck the post.
Partridge almost scored again for the visitors but his strike was superbly saved by Russell.
Keeper Wells only received a yellow card for handling the ball outside the area late on and Mario Noto could not find the target from his free-kick.
Allinson told the club website: "I thought it was a very tough game. We were pleased to come in at half time 1-1 because I felt we could easily have been two or three down. "In the second half we started to get organised and passed the ball better, we hit the post and they hit the crossbar. "In the end we had to settle for a draw, but I felt we could have nicked it."
Boreham Wood were due to face Sutton last weekend but the match was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The side face a busy week on the pitch with away games at Havant & Waterlooville tomorrow and Concord Rangers on Tuesday night.

Here's the image where the centering cone should go, has about a 3 ft shaft with stock universals. The lower flange us broken off at the Auxillary trans and the top 2 bolts are sheared off as well. Seems to drive well has about many miles in it, you would nit notice anything unless you visually looked close. This is why I would like to replace with another type of shirt shaft. Or any ideas. ? And maybe use a center support bearing. No image. Too large. Verrucas I'll email it
Where's the image?
Image was to large they say. I'm just going to repair it with a new style u joint and shaft Heck my brush hog runs a long shaft with no support has a real u joint not a T type primitive . No need for the t cone plate
The problem with having the rear housing broken is not with the shaft or u joint. That bell coupling locates the rear end in the truck. It is responsible for transferring all the forces generated by the rear end, such as acceleration and braking, to the rest of the vehicle. Without it all the force is absorbed by the rear spring and shackles, which they were never designed to withstand. Failure of those parts would leave your rear end behind you in the street, which could buy you the trouble trophy on a club tour. Not something you want.
Have over 200 miles and no problem , I'm more worried about blowing the motor with my extra weight l passenger in the Tour. See you there Shake down make it or break it

The last century has seen an amazing array of advances in technology, some geared to entertainment, some geared to general use, all indispensable to the industry. ED asked a few designers, technicians, consultants, and manufacturers to pick what they felt were the most important
At the start of the new year--once it became clear we were all safe from the clutches of terrorist attacks, Y2K bugs, the holiday blues, and any other end-of-the-millennium jitters--we had begun to wonder which products and innovations had had the most significant impact on entertainment technology in the last 100 years. (Initially we wondered about the last 1,000 years, but that seemed a little too much to take on, since we could only think of a handful of folks in the industry who've been around that long.) Because its rise to prominence was such a significant part of 20th century design, we decided to focus heavily on lighting. But we also wanted the sound and staging community to have a voice in this, so we included them too. So, in the first week of January, ED sent out a questionnaire to approximately 500 of the more influential people in the industry.
What the hell were we thinking? It was an overwhelmingly impossible task, not only for us, but also for the participants. How do you narrow something like this down? The choices ranged from the practical to the profound, from the sublime to the ridiculous. And while there were more than a few who picked only products they themselves manufactured--and hey, if you really feel that strongly about your stuff, more power to ya--the vast majority of the responses tended to focus on general trends. In addition, many of the responses were truly eloquent, offering more than a few choices that we quite frankly had never thought of.
In the end, it became impossible for us to narrow the choices down to a final list. So we didn't even try. Instead, we picked some of the more thought-provoking responses, placed them in specific categories, and tried to create a sort of oral history of entertainment technology. We suspect some readers will have differing opinions; we encourage you to send us your picks, so that we may continue this discussion in future issues of ED.
The computer--The intricacy of stage effects used to be limited to the number of handles pulled, or arms pushing a wagon, or faders pushed on the console. What limits are there now? Todd Hensley, Schuler & Shook
The Intel 8080 microprocessor--It's not a device dedicated to entertainment technology, but it was the eight-bit microprocessor that kicked off the personal computer and embedded microprocessor revolution. Without that first device, we wouldn't have memory desks, digital audio, computerized sound systems, moving lights, or much of anything else that is microprocessor-based. The four-bit microprocessors that preceded it were cute, but you can't do much more than run a calculator with a four-bit micro. Karl Ruling, ESTA
Transistor--The birth of miniaturization in electronics. Wally Clark, Associated Sound
The semiconductor--Particularly the four-layer power control devices. These revolutionized all types of control and turned many dreams into realities. Cliff Wilding, Lighting Engineering
DMX512. Almost everything runs with DMX512! Karl Ruling, ESTA
DMX512 was the breakthrough from the restrictive communications link in analog. Without it, modern lighting consoles, moving lights, and scrollers would not be possible. James Moody, lighting designer
The microprocessor--Nothing I sell today would exist without it: moving lights, consoles, etc. Eric Loader, Martin Professional
Digital protocols--Which have allowed dimmer-per-circuit theatres, providing more flexible designs and better productions. David Shaw, Dove Systems
The computer, specifically as it relates to CAD/CAM (AutoCAD and computer routers and lasers). Bob Usdin, Showman Fabricators
The computer revolutionized show control as well as design capabilities. Tim Knipe, Scenery West
The PC--Obviously, the memory lighting control console and the motion-control console could not have been developed if PCs were not used as the basis of these products. A huge number of productions would not be possible (or would certainly be significantly different) if they had to exist without the benefit of computer-based control products. Bill Groener, PRG
The microcomputer--Unquestionably in my mind, and for all the same reasons as everyone else, I assume: technical theatre, sound, theme parks, cruise ships, television, you name it, wouldn't be the same without a tech table full of PCs nowadays. I look forward to the day when everyone can afford to download theatrical control systems from the web on a pay-as-you-play basis, or even store shows on the web for easy dissemination to touring companies, for example. This is a concept that's been tried for years by the conventional control companies and folks such as Richard Nelson. Ted Ferreira, lighting designer
Two later inventions of the century that have already made an impact on the lighting industry are the offline editor and computer visualization tools. These have allowed users to visualize, design, and light a show in 3D from the comfort of a studio or home. Editors such as WYSIWYG have made it possible to program lighting in the office and then later take the disk to the job site, and with a little focusing, have a show.
All these technologies have made it possible to design an exponentially better show at an exponentially faster pace. As for the future, I believe inventors are striving for a technology that will allow the lighting community to design, program, and execute better lighting, faster, all from the comfort of an umbrella chair on a beach in Hawaii. Christian Choi, High End Systems
Computers, digital signal processing, digital storage medium, and the Internet--I have to put these down as one item, because they are so inextricably linked to each other, and are really part and parcel. The dramatic changes that have happened in the entertainment industry echo the global changes brought on by computers. I can do so much more in a much smaller amount of time now. There is a point where you can do too much too fast, and the quality suffers, but I just have to be aware of my "artistic speed limit," and not exceed it. The great thing is that I can achieve in my designs what I dream they can be, without being limited by tools. I have no excuses left, though! Garth Hemphill, sound designer
The Internet--Now, finally, a designer can truly reach his or her potential, juggling projects around the globe with collaborators in different locations. The ability to do research, send information, download a set designer's sketch or photo of a model without the encumbrances of paper or Fed Ex, or get a plot in on time (buying at least a full day's more plotting time!) from anywhere on the planet cannot be over appreciated. Probably my single most life-changing innovation. Peter Maradudin, lighting designer
Honorable mention: The Macintosh Powerbook 100--As my first repository of computer games, it allowed me to while away those long tech rehearsal hours (often waiting for lights), and it brought new meaning to the term "tech table toy." Jon Gottlieb, sound designer
The ongoing improvements in dimming technology over the course of the 20th century made the greatest impact on the entertainment industry. Going back to its early roots, dimming technology began with cumbersome saltwater units; this design was much improved with the introduction of resistance dimmers, which were later bested by environ dimmers with tubes, ultimately moving into the innovative and complex electronic dimming capabilities that we benefit from today. George Gray, ELS
The ability to dim light has always been a desire in the theatre, whether this was accomplished by simply blowing out candles, dousing the limelight, moving a handle on a resistance dimmer plate, or sliding a potentiometer on a lighting control console. It was a 1940s invention that made the first significant change in how dimming was accomplished, and that was with the invention of the SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) by Texas Instruments. In the early days, the device was concealed in bomb sights and other electronic devices mounted in bombers flying missions over Germany and Japan during World War II. After the war, TI was looking for other uses for the product. But it was not until 1959 when the first SCR dimmer system was installed at the newly constructed Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Dallas Theatre Center. This theatre had a number of innovations for its time including a thyratron tube-controlled stage revolve and motorized spotline winches.
The dimmer was designed by Texas Instruments using a single SCR. Since two SCRs are required to complete an AC sine wave, a device was added to the SCR (it looked like a very large torodial choke) circuit to complete the sine wave. This dimmer system was fabricated by Century Lighting and became the predecessor to the Century CCR100. The dimmer worked in conjunction with an Izenour-built 10-scene preset control console. While it is my understanding that this was the first time the SCR was used in a large-scale dimming system, there may be other competing products with the same claim. However, not long after this installation, the CCR100 (tomato can) dimmer became a standard for Century Lighting.
In the mid-1960s, the Edkotron came into being. The Edkotron was the first truly portable dimmer system with six 1,800W dimmers in a very small chassis. And yes, they are still in use. Many six-packs followed, including the Colortran pack in the early 1970s and Skirpan's not-very-portable six-packs of the same era. It was the Colortran pack that caught on with Showco and other touring lighting companies because of its portability.
The next big jump was late in the 1970s, when Strand Century produced the CD80 dimmer. It used SCR technology, but now the dual SCRs were in a cube. The dimmer module was of a very simple design, keeping the control circuitry isolated on printed circuit cards in the bottom of the rack and out of the dimmer module. The point is that the CD80 was designed to be the first mass-produced SCR dimmer. No more massive patch panels that took hundreds of man days to assemble; now dimmer-per-circuit was a reality. It became the most cost-effective way to produce dimmer racks and the standard 96 dimmer enclosure is still used by every major industry manufacturer. Robin Crews, Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams, Inc.
The introduction and ongoing development of integrated circuits into dimmer technologies and into controls for dimmers, which made possible individual variation in intensity on an unlimited number of lighting instruments. Joel E. Rubin, Artec Consultants
The tube reactor dimmer--This is interesting because of all the developments that came about from this product:
A. Electric control of the dimmer levels. No longer were huge manually operated handles needed, so the multi-scene preset console was invented.
B. The big bulky reactor dimmer gave way to the thyratron tube dimmer, which evolved into the SCR dimmer.
C. With the SCR dimmer, the preset control could evolve into the computer, first with punch cards, and then to modern computer control. Ken Billington, lighting designer
The SCR dimmer was smaller and cheaper and enabled one operator to effectively control many lighting fixtures. Gary Fails, City Theatrical
The Rosco/ET dimmer, with its IGBT technology, solved most problems with SCR dimmers: quiet, no radiated noise, etc. J.B. Nettleton, Total Lighting Concepts
The solid-state relay (SSR)--For modernizing dimming systems and providing the kind of flexible, adaptable, and dynamic dimming control systems that today's designers take for granted, even in small theatres. Wasn't that long ago that two dozen 7kW dimmers was "all she wrote" in many theatres. SSRs changed all that. Ted Ferreira, lighting designer

Benefits of the Dell and HP thin clients could also apply to point-of-sale terminals, where an application would need enough processing power to operate the graphical user interface, take orders and pump information back to the data center, O'Donnell said.
"More and more retailers have self-service check out," O'Donnell said.
Software, throughput and networking improvements also help the new thin clients host more powerful virtual desktops. Dell's thin clients can run virtualized high-end graphics with improvements made by Nvidia to its VGX virtualization technology, which allows graphics boards to render more virtual machines. The thin clients will be able to run full high-definition 1080p virtualized graphics, which could help in 3D modeling and engineering applications.
HP focused on boosting the throughput to thin clients, with improvements to its Velocity software to cut latency and congestion over wired and wireless networks. Velocity, which is included in HP's thin clients, adapt to network conditions. Other enhancements improve remote graphics capabilities on thin clients, HP said in a statement.

Last night, we watched Justin Verlander chug into the late innings like a workhorse. He was over 100 pitches after seven innings, and manager Jim Leyland didn't hesitate to send him back out for the eighth. In contrast, Jamie Garcia is rarely worked that hard -- he's thrown over 100 pitches in just eight of his 32 starts, and his season high is only 107 pitches.
When he's on, he's on, though, and he doesn't need to throw a lot of pitches. Garcia threw two complete-game shutouts this year with just 102 pitches in both of those games. It looked like he was on that pace after throwing just 51 pitches to complete five shutout innings.
But after he retired Cole Hamels and Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley hit the sixth pitch of his at-bat for a single, and after a wild pitch and an intentional walk, it took a Ryan Howard groundout to end the inning. Garcia threw 23 pitches in the sixth, his most strenuous inning of the game so far.
Still, he's up to only 74 on the game through six innings. The Phillies had an aggressive game plan, it seems, and it isn't working so far.

City Theatrical is launching three new WDS Wireless Data System™ products at the PLASA show in London. The Wireless Data System is a group of transmitters, receivers, and dimmers that send and receive DMX data without cables.
The AutoYoke® WDS™ is a City Theatrical AutoYoke (PLASA Award and Eddy Award) with a WDS receiver built in. The AutoYoke can be hung anywhere, plugged to AC power, and controlled by any DMX console within 125m indoors or 450m outdoors without using a DMX cable. The AutoYoke WDS allows DMX pass through so DMX signals can be sent to other wired DMX devices, as well as a redundant wired DMX input.
The WDS OEM™ is a tiny module (66mm x 50mm x 12mm) for manufacturers, suitable for building into any DMX device to allow it to be run without data wires. Devices such as moving lights, individual dimmers, dimmer racks, DMX relays, and LED lighting fixtures can be controlled by any DMX console without running DMX cables.
The WDS Rx2™ is the newest receiver in the WDS line. It features a built in DMX receiver and auto-sensing power supply (100-240VAC) and is designed for hanging by c-clamp. Hang a WDS Rx2 in any location and you have DMX without running wires. It's perfect for lighting positions that have never been hard wired for DMX, and for temporary lighting installations.
The WDS Wireless Data System utilizes 2.4GHz spread spectrum channel hopping technology to insure the delivery of mission critical data that the entertainment industry demands. WDS technology is in use on a growing number of shows and permanent installations including Fiddler on the Roof, Hairspray, Movin' Out, Lion King, Bombay Dreams, the Royal National Theatre, and leading lighting rental shops.
