Acer MXM BIOS Mods and discussion (was: x920G vs. 9600M GT)
***NOTE: If you have a 9600M GT or similar card, that works with the Microsoft standard VGA driver, but produces a lockup/BSOD/black screen as soon as you install recent Nvidia drivers, read this. This is a known bug in Nvidia drivers, and a workaround is available in the form of a VBIOS patch. This is not a problem with the BIOSes in this thread.
I think I found the reason behind GeForce 9600M GT's reluctance to work with Acer Aspire 5920G/6920G/8920G laptops. Apparently it all boils down to a corrupt MXM structure in the BIOS.
The 6920G and 8920Gshare the same BIOSEDIT: They actually use different BIOSes, despite containing the same motherboard (though the MXM structure is the same in both), and indeed, their symptoms are also the same: no display on the internal LCD during POST. However, connecting an external display to the HDMI port allows POST messages to show up on that screen.
So, I looked into the MXM structure embedded in the 6920G's BIOS (armed with the recently leaked specification for the MXM structure), and found the following:
The output device structure for the HDMI port of the 6/8920G is 0x00F9F78A2120, which parses to:
Device type: TMDS (DVI or HDMI)
DDC port: DDC-B (MXM pins 230 & 232)
Connector: HDMI Type A socket
Connector location: External
Link type: Single-link DVI/HDMI connected to TMDS link A
HDMI audio source: No audio
Digital signal drive strength: Normal
Digital reserved field 1 (2 bits, should always be 11): 01 (incorrect, violates the MXM spec!)
Output select GPIO: None
DDC select GPIO: None
Device detection GPIO: #0, active low (logic low on GPIO pin 0 indicates a display plugged into the HDMI port)
System hot plug notification: Disabled
The culprit is apparently Device detection GPIO (marked in red), which is presumably always low/0 on this machine, indicating a device plugged in! Because the boot display order is VGA first, then HDMI, finally internal display; connecting a display to HDMI (or fooling the MXM VGA into thinking one is connected, as it is happening now) suppresses POST display on the internal LCD, and directs it to the HDMI port. When Windows finally boots up, it recognizes the internal display and makes it primary (Windows always considers the internal display primary by default, regardless of the MXM structure), so display in Windows is normal.
So, the MXM VGA basically thinks that an HDMI display is plugged in all the time, and proceeds to make that imaginary display primary.
The 5920G (and its little brother, the 4720G) fares even worse: it flat out refuses to POST with a 9600M GT plugged in! Again, a quick look at the MXM structure (hidden in BIOSCOD02.ROM inside the BIOS image) reveals that something is amiss, even more so than with the 6/8920G:
-The checksum of the MXM structure is wrong.
-On this notebook, the boot display preference order is different: internal first, then analog VGA, then HDMI, and finally TV-Out. So, the problem is not the same as with the 6920G. However:
-The internal display's output device struct claims that the internal display can also produce sound through a SPDIF connection, and that the link between the internal panel and the computer is long-distance, requiring extra signal power. A field identified as "reserved, set to all ones" is set to all zeros.
-According to their respective output device structs in the MXM structure, the VGA, HDMI and TV outputs are all internal connectors.
-The VGA output has a "TV format" field set to NTSC-M, despite not being a TV output. The Digital Connection field is set to "Reserved for future uses, do not use" instead of "Not applicable".
-The HDMI link again has the reserved field zeroed out.
-The TV out is identified as an HDTV YPbPr component output, but the TV format is "legacy 525-line NTSC-M" (should be "480i" for an HD connector). And again, Digital connection is "Reserved for future uses". But here comes the real bummer:
-All outputs (including the internal display!) mark GPIO#0 for device detection, interpreting logic 0 as Connected, and 1 as Disconnected. This is wrong in many ways, e.g. one GPIO line can only be used by one display; the internal display has no device detection (it is always plugged in); the board has no GPIO expander, so GPIO#0 doesn't even exist, and is always read as 0; and finally the HDMI output also marks this GPIO as its Output selection GPIO - which is impossible, as a GPIO can't be in more than one mode at the same time.
-The MXM connector claims to be MXM-HE, capable of delivering 3.2W to regular and 12W to HE cards. I the reality, the connector is MXM-II, so it doesn't support HE cards at all; and I'm pretty sure it can handle more than 3.2W when dealing with regular Type II cards. (I've modded this one to 32W.)
-The final two fields are a vendor-specific field for PCI\VEN_0401 (a nonexistent vendor), and a weird 4-byte field that appears to be completely random junk. Disassembling BIOSCOD02.ROM in IDA revealed that this field is not really junk - it is the beginning of the x86 machine code that responds to MXM interrupts. Apparently when the BIOS was built, the end of the already-wrong MXM structure got overwritten with BIOS code!
I've made an attempt to fix these errors, but I have no Acer 5/6/8920G to test them,so the following modded BIOSes are untestedUpdate: 6920G+9600M GT confirmed working by lizzarddos, 5920G confirmed by multiple users to help 9500M GS, 9600M GS and Quadro cards, 5920G + 9600M GT confirmed by u6b36ef, 9920G personally tested by me, so there is no reason why the 4720G would not work.

Please test them and report any results here!
Note:The 5520G, 7520G and 9920G are affected, too - however, the BIOSes on these machines don't contain an MXM structure at all, so unless someone figures out how to add an interrupt handler for INT 15h, EAX=0x5F80 to BIOSCOD02.ROM, they cannot be patched. (Note: Even if someone finds the interrupt handler for INT 15h, EAX=0xE820 - memory map, that would be of great help.)5520G and 9920G are available now. The 5520G BIOS may also work on the 7520G, but this is untested.
The Aspire 5720G (ICL50) BIOS is NOT required for 9600M GT upgrades - it primarily fixes issues with ATI cards refusing to drive external displays. It is also usable on Aspire 5315, 5320, 5715(Z)(G), 5720(Z)(G), 7320, 7720(Z)(G) and eMachines E510 machines, including IGP ones, to unlock extra tweaking menus. It does not, however, enable upgrading IGP ICL50s to MXM cards - that is still physically impossible.

re: Acer MXM BIOS Mods and discussion (was: x920G vs. 9600M GT)
Finally a possible fix! Unfortunately, I've burned my 9600m gt due to extreme overclock. But don't fret, I've just received a replacement today! Gonna try it out tonight.

re: Acer MXM BIOS Mods and discussion (was: x920G vs. 9600M GT)
@lizzarddos: Eagerly awaiting the results.
@TehSuigi: Thanks! BTW, you got my nickname wrong in the MXM cards topic... Also, "[Note: The 9600M GT is NOT compatible with the 5920G]" is still there after the 5920G's list (though it may worth keeping it there until my fix is tested on the 5920G).

Ok I've swap in my replacement 9600M GT and flashed the modded bios and
It freakin' works!!! Thanks so much NET roller this is the best thing that happened ever since I upgraded. Mystery of the black screen solved FINALLY! Can't thank you enough for this amazing discovery. WOW
To anyone hesitating to try, this is guranteed to work on an Acer 6920G with 9600M GT upgrade!

re: Acer MXM BIOS Mods and discussion (was: x920G vs. 9600M GT)
Thanks for the confirmation.
And remember, none of this would have been possible by the people behind the borec.cz website, who have been kind enough to upload the MXM 2.1 specification, normally only available to MXM-SIG members.
In case any of you borec.cz staff are reading this topic, whoever you are - THANKS!

@.NetRolller_3D: Sorry about the mix-up; will correct with the next update (not at my PC right now)
@lizzarddos: Screenshots please! This is Acer MXM history we're making here!!
Now I'm tempted to do the same; maybe to celebrate the end of my 6920G's warranty?Sorry if I'm not around too often - life seems to have gotten in the way of NBR.

Brandon Crawford- aside from the whole looking-like-Zac-Efron-thing – is the kind of guy you want to like from minute uno. His first Major League hit being a massive grand slam doesn't hurt either. So I like B-Craw and I am perfectly happy with seeing him at shortstop when I look into my semi-distant-future crystal ball. But when I look into my not-so-distant-future crystal ball and see him? Hm. Not necessarily so happy.
But sources (who may or may not be the writer's big-mouthed relative posing as a source) say that Sabean et al. are looking around for shortstop option cautiously but like Crawford as a candidate.
My "hm" just became a "hmmmm".
It's not like I'm pressing a knife to anyone's back to sign a shortstop to a million and one year deal. At some point, hopefully soon, Crawford will be ready for the bright lights and all that, I'm just not really willing to trust to that personally.
Would O-Cab be better? Nah. That is, no. But there mightbeprobablyis someone out there who could fill the role nicely, because I'm just not read to put a whole lot of faith in Crawford. While his defense is bee-yoo-tah-ful, he batted .204 last year and was somewhat dismal at more than a few points.
I have one eyebrow raised and my fingers crossed, behind my back.
(Fun fact about me: I once had a clam named Spock. He lived for, oh, 24 hours? Don't call Animal Control, please. We gave him a rocking name, if nothing else.)
Anyhow, maybe me and Sabean would get along after all. We seem to have eerily similar feelings about them young players.
This is creeping me out. No, Brian has not taken over my body and is now operating as me. But I should probably go now and wash my hands anyway.

Portland, Oregon, 2 September 2005 | With the United States women's soccer program on virtual hiatus in 2005—the women, like the men, have been playing without a collective-bargaining agreement—U.S. Soccer Federation officials improvised to fill out a slate of impromptu summer friendlies. The result, with many top European sides busy with domestic leagues and the UEFA European Championships between 5 and 19 June, was a lopsided series of contests against Canada (26 June, a 2–0 U.S. victory), Ukraine (10 July, 7–0) and Iceland (24 July, 3–0). The Ukraine contest in particular was notable for, as Alon Raab writes below, having been organized "under an unlucky star." The essay highlights the competitive inequalities under which international soccer matches are sometimes staged and the obstacles that top-flight women players face in comparison to their male counterparts. Comments about the ad hoc nature of the Ukraine side are reinforced by analyzing the roster of Ukraine's World Cup qualifier against Norway on 27 August, a 4–1 loss: just five players from the Portland friendly helped make up the squad.
Update: Terms of a new bargaining arrangement agreed on 5 January 2006 offer selected U.S. players $70,000 annual salaries and bonuses based on performances in the Olympic Games and World Cup. The agreement runs through the 2012 Summer Games in London.

Two days before the 10 July game between the American and Ukrainian women's soccer teams at the University of Portland (Oregon) field, I rode my bicycle to the stadium. According to the information provided by the U.S. press officer, the visiting team would be practicing and afterward I would be able to interview the players. (The American team practiced mostly at the Nike "campus" in suburban Beaverton.)
Nike refers to its world headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, as soft-spoken testimony to the beauty of sports. The facility served as a training ground for the U.S. team. |
Braving a downpour, I arrived at the training field and saw amazingly short players. From my geography lessons I knew that the Ukraine was long considered the breadbasket of Europe, and, although in the last few years the country has gone through much political upheaval, I was not aware of severe food shortages that might have stunted the players' growth. Approaching closer I realized that the players were American girls in their mid-teens and, after talking to the university's athletic director, found out that the Ukrainian team was still stuck in London.
From postgame interviews with the coach Volodymyr Kulayev, the captain Oksana Rezvin, the goalie Veronika Shulha, the interpreter/accompanist Sergei Kultin and also a local Ukrainian man—a government worker involved with the local youth soccer community who I put in contact with the team in order to help them as they encountered financial and logistical difficulties (and who preferred to remain anonymous, so in this article I call my source "the mole")—I found out that the unequal conditions between the two teams (matters of ability, finances, training conditions) were exacerbated by an unlucky star under which the whole venture sailed.
The Ukrainian women arrived in London soon after the terrorist bombings of 7 July, but their luggage never did. Since travelers are not allowed to leave the airport without their belongings, they remained at the airport for several days, forced to try and sleep in the noisy and chaotic terminal. Eventually they were allowed to leave, arriving in Portland, Oregon, the evening before the 3 o'clock Sunday game, with none of their suitcases. A national uniform was quickly improvised and shoes purchased.
According to translator Kultin, it was left up to him to scramble to find a suitable place for the weary players. At last he was able to place them at the university dorms, but they were left with little money for food. The American players by contrast stayed at one of Portland's most elegant hotels and had a week to train, rest and enjoy more nourishing fare than airport and airline food. Sergei laid most of the blame for the disorganization on the American hosts, both the U.S. Soccer Federation and sponsors such as Nike.
"The mole," who hails from the Ukraine, offered a different version, blaming the bureaucrats back in Kiev, officials that he labeled as "amateurs." In our conversation and through e-mail exchanges, "the mole," who spoke to players, the coach and officials, explained that one of the soccer-federation officials confused Portland, Maine, with Portland, Oregon, and hence, instead of taking a direct flight from Moscow to Seattle, they flew by way of London, Newark and Salt Lake City. Thus, even discounting the unexpected delay in London, the journey took 36 hours. Furthermore, an official from the federation got drunk on the way to the airport and decided at the last minute not to go. Furthermore, the players lack financial resources and had to borrow money in order to get to the United States.
When an international game takes place, the assumption is that the players will be the best that each country has. The American team filled this bill, with a successful weave of veterans such as Aly Wagner and Kate Markgraf (née Sobrero) with several young players such as Nicole Barnhart and Lori Chalupny. In the case of the Ukrainian team this was not the case. Comparing the roster of the team that played in qualifiers for the past summer's European Championships and in the last few years with the team that played in Portland, I discovered significant changes. Of the seven players who scored in the run-up to the UEFA event, only two were included in the current team, Vira Dyatel and Lyudmyla Pekur. Teams go through changes, but in this case it was because many of the best players were previously engaged. Top players, such as defender Olena Mazurenko and midfielder Nadiya Myshchenko, stayed with their German team FC Nürnberg, and several other players were occupied with the games of the Russian league and were not released by their teams. Other players, belonging to the second-strongest team in Ukraine, Chernigov, were with their team in Italy, training and playing against local teams.
According to "the mole," the team that played in Portland was not the national team but mostly the team from Kharkov, and "about them speaking Ukrainian—they could tell that to the Marines. Each and every one of them spoke Russian." About a quarter of the population of the Ukraine is ethnically Russian, but I was not able to ascertain if the players were Russian in their nationality, and I was not able to contact the Marines, as they were mired in the Iraq quagmire and had more pressing tasks.
In the press box, my questions about the unequal conditions did not arouse much interest. "This is how it is in the world of sports" commented the representatives of the U.S. Soccer Federation, taking a short break from counting the goals raining on the visitors. This attitude was shared by the other media representatives. My question why the game was not postponed by a day, to allow the exhausted and jet-lagged visitors to recover—as it was a "friendly," there were no tournament time constraints—was met by a bemused look, as if I were a visitor from the first days of association football, a time traveler from Victorian Britain. Consenting to share the most well-known knowledge, the USSF spokesperson added that ESPN was broadcasting the game live, and interference with the network's holy schedule was an impossibility. ESPN is owned by Disney, so I could have conferred with the Magic Kingdom and tried wishing upon a star, but I said no more as the game had only been going on for about 15 minutes and I wanted to remain in the clubhouse and enjoy the beverages and sandwiches. And after all, the situation was not a complete surprise. One of the new realities of the game in the electronic age is that games and players are subservient to the financial considerations of television networks and their corporate advertisers, as World Cup games played in South and Central America in midday heat, to accommodate the lucrative European markets, can attest.
For most of the 4,000 fans, a large proportion of which were teenage girls, and for the partisan media, the game's highlight was the 57th-minute goal scored by Tiffeny Milbrett (http://www.theglobalgame.com/gln0505.htm), who grew up in Portland and played at the University of Portland. It raised her international tally to 100, achieved through 201 games, and put her in a select group of players. This achievement was all that the game offered, since it lacked any competitive value. For the first 20 minutes the Ukrainians were able to hold their own, but after two first-half goals came a total collapse in the second half in which they conceded five goals and were lucky not to leave having surrendered a much higher tally. Sometimes statistics lie, but not this time: the number of corner kicks was 6:0 in favor of the home team, the shots were 32:3 and shots on goal were 21:0, with the American goalie not having to stretch her limbs even once. The Ukrainians' fatigue was manifested in their slowness approaching the ball, their constant loss of possession and in many players getting leg cramps, a sure sign of not being properly rested. The fans were probably not aware of the long, arduous journey of the Ukrainians and might not have cared.
Ukrainian soccer brings to mind at once such names as Dynamo Kiev, "the match of death," Oleg Blokhin (now coach of the Ukraine men's team) and Andrei Shevchenko. Women's soccer in the country, whose name means "borderland," is more of an unknown. My attempts to gain information about the Ukrainian team by contacting the Football Federation of Ukraine (http://www.ffu.org.ua) did not receive a reply, and an Internet search for Ukrainian women's soccer/football brought up mostly information about mail-order brides and the sex trade, a distorted picture of the women of the Ukraine, but a sad reflection of how, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, for too many men in the West sexual exploitation of women is the only association and reality.
From my interviews with the coach and players I learned the the team is currently ranked 19th by FIFA. The Ukraine has not produced a woman player on the level of the Brazilian Marta, the German Birgit Prinz or the American Mia Hamm, but several players play in the strong German league and several in the Russian league. The league back home is comprised of nine teams, and Arsenal Kharkov (http://www.arsenal.kharkov.ua) is currently the best. I remained unclear about team ownerships and finances, but private ownership is the norm, and though, unlike the men's team, billionaires with shady connections have not entered the field, names such as Arsenal are evidence of the new Western orientation—a name that in the past would have been unheard of. The national team has become stronger in the last few years but failed to advance to the recent European women's championship. The team has played its American counterpart three times, with the United States winning all encounters.
Alon Raab is a native of Jerusalem who teaches at the University of California in Davis. |
Most of the players on the team are students, with a large number of them studying in the Institute of Physical Culture and Exercise. Both players I interviewed acknowledged that the women's game is not tremendously popular and offered as explanation both the great popularity of the men's team and traditional Ukrainian culture, which survived 70 years of Soviet life and which tends to view women as having their own proscribed traditional sphere, one in which running after a ball while wearing shorts is not the norm. The great financial difficulties experienced by many Ukrainians mean that there is a shortage of adequate sports equipment and, when there is some, boys receive preference.
Despite conceding seven goals, Shulha, the young goalie, was in a fine mood after the game, readily having her picture taken with local Ukrainian immigrants and smiling when I commented that the four hours she and her teammates slept the night before, they completed easily on the pitch. The coach, however, remained unamused.

Arrived quickly & product is nice as I expected. No shedding at all and colors are pretty. Would recommend to a friend.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The colors were nowhere near what was projected in the picture. Very disappointed overall.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Love the Rug - great color. I have been looking for an orange rug for quite some time and this is perfect
I ordered the beige one. On the computer it looked like the middle was almost yellow and it faded out to a hunter green which was exactly what I wanted. In reality there is no yellow or green in this rug, it is strictly tans. Too much of a hassle to return. Also, it is quite thin, and slips around so you will need a rug pad.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Good product, I ordered the orange one (not sure why they are showing the blue one), anyway, it's good quality, not as heavy/thick as I thought it looked from the picture but I like it - it adds color to my room.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Originally got it for my front door entrance to be used as a runner but it looks more like it belongs to the kitchen.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I bought 3 of the 2x3 size for my kitchen. Looked great. Worked well on my hardwood floors with rug pad underneath to halt slipping. BUT, 2 of the 3 rugs unraveled a lot the first time I washed them. I had to throw them out. The third one still looks nice but 2 were a complete loss just months after buying them.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Great quality and described perfectly via the picture/item description!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Purchased red. Nice basic rug to cover the carpet. Because there is no backing, it does shift around on the carpet and bit, especially if you have furniture on it, making the lines look crooked. Usually have to fix it each day, which can be a bit annoying.
Really nice. Wonderful rug for area needing a flat weave. Colors more beautiful than shown on internet. Still new, so cannot judge wear and tear and ease of care yet.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Perfect size for my bedroom. Vibrant colors work well with the overall colors of my room. Love it!
Bought this for my daughter's room and it looks great. Better use for color than feel (we are using a different rug for when she first gets out of bed in the a.m.) but we are very happy with this rug.
I used this to define my living room space from the rest of my great room. I have tile floors and I hate to put bare feet down on a cold floor when I've been sitting on the couch for a while. This rug was perfect for that purpose. The colors are just as vibrant as pictured [...]. I only wish my washer could handle a 5x7 rug!

Estimates of unauthorized immigrant populations that could receive relief from deportation under potential executive action scenarios to expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, extend deferred action to other populations, or refine immigration enforcement priorities are discussed during this webinar.
In the absence of legislative movement to reform the U.S. immigration system, the Obama administration is considering executive action to provide relief from deportation to some of the nation's estimated 11.7 million unauthorized immigrants. This issue brief examines a number of scenarios for possible executive action, estimating how many people could benefit.
MPI researchers and representatives from London and Detroit discuss the policies and strategies used—at national and local levels—to attract immigrants into local economies.
Immigration alone cannot save Detroit, which has become a byword for urban decline and economic decay. But if carefully managed in the context of a broader economic development strategy, immigration may be a promising tool for boosting Detroit's economic prospects, stemming population decline, and replenishing diminished city resources.
This webinar covers key findings from MPI's report about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative and eligible populations two years after its implementation, and also introduces MPI's data tool that provides national and state-level estimates of the current and potentially eligible DACA populations, as well as detailed profiles for the U.S. and 25 states.
Fifty-five percent of the 1.2 million unauthorized immigrant youth immediately eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program launched in 2012 had applied as of July 20, 2014. This report provides the most up-to-date estimates available for the size, countries of origin, educational attainment, employment, English proficiency, age, gender, and poverty rates for the DACA population nationally and for key states, and is accompanied by a new data tool with national and state-level data.
Employer-sponsored immigration and subnational visa programs are the two major routes to channel new immigrant arrivals toward particular destinations where their labor is thought to be in high demand. This report assesses regional nomination programs in Australia and Canada, and the efficacy of employer-sponsored immigration in meeting the needs of cities and regions.
While cities and regions experience both the positive and negative effects of immigration firsthand, they are typically at arm's length, at best, from the policy reins that enable and shape these movements. Immigration policies are rarely calibrated to regional, let alone local, needs. This Transatlantic Council on Migration Statement examines how policymakers at all levels can work together to get more out of immigration.

Jocks and art nerds unite over the awesomeness of these Nike t-shirts, as designed by our own Ron Regé, Jr!
As Ron explains over Facebook, he did these drawings back in 2009, and never knew what they had done with them until now! The shirts don't seem to be available directly from the Nike website (believe me, I looked!), but you can find them on eBay. (cough)
Swoon, just look at that stunning lettering! It almost makes me want to work out! (But not really.)
Don't forget! Ron will be launching his exhibit of originals from The Cartoon Utopia at the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery this Saturday, January 11th! Join us from 6:00 to 9:00 PM -- like Nike says, just do it!

We have a thing about durability. That's why we engineered RADAR performance eyewear with materials that beg for abuse. Our action sports pros tend to push their limits, and when their shades take a beating, sometimes the lenses have to be replaced. Luckily the design of RADAR makes it a no-worries proposition. Even if you never experience a full face slam, you might want a lens with the extra coverage of this XL shape. It comes in a range of hues so you can color your world a whole new way. All lenses are optimized with Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™, a permanent coating that repels water to prevent streaks and sheens from corrupting your vision. The coating is also "OLEOPHOBIC," which is a Mad Science term for the way it maintains a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils, fingerprints, lotions and sunscreens. On top of that, it repels dust. You get all that performance combined with HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) Optional lenses with our permanent IRIDIUM® coating are engineered to precisely balance light transmission and reduce glare. All lenses are made of pure PLUTONITE® to filter out every single ray of UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. That's just the kind of overkill we're into.
Important Note: Use care when installing/removing accessory lenses. Scratched lenses can not be returned and are not covered under Oakley's warranty policy

Mike HornickKen Bedrosian (left), of Bedrosian Farms chats with Sun Pacific chief executive officer Berne Evans June 11 in Visalia, Calif.VISALIA, Calif. — Between rising demand for easy-to-peel citrus and a reduction in assessments, growers have good reason to pack under the Cuties label, Sun Pacific chief executive officer Berne Evans told potential recruits at the Visalia Convention Center.
About 160 growers and investors came out to hear the pitch from Evans and general manager Al Bates at a June 11 luncheon.
The meeting followed Sun Pacific's acquisition of the Cuties brand from Paramount Citrus, whose new label is Wonderful Halos. The split cuts Cuties volume by about half, Bates said.
"We have a tremendous following in retail from Wal-Mart, Sams Club, Kroger, Costco — you name it," Evans said. "Not that they're on the hook, but they like Cuties and want to continue so we need more volume.
"Last year we sold under Cuties about 100 million 5-pound boxes for a packinghouse f.o.b. around $450 million," he said. "It's going to be a $1 billion industry before it's over, probably bigger than the navel industry. That's the way it is in Europe, anyway. They sell 500 million boxes of clementines to the same population. We're selling 60 million."
Evans was recently less enthusiastic about murcotts, but said the market proved him wrong.
"On murcotts I thought we would hit the wall this year," he said. "But we misjudged the crop completely and were done by April. We couldn't keep up with demand. Another six weeks would have been another 30 million cartons."
Sun Pacific's packing and selling charges will undercut most of its competitors, Evans said. And the promotional assessment will be about 10 to 12 cents per box — down from the past three years when it ranged from 25 to 31 cents.
It was 31 cents last year. Cutting that to 10 or 12 saves about $1,000 an acre, he told growers.
"That was one of the big arguments between Paramount and us," he said. "They wanted to do national TV advertising. We didn't think it was necessary. That was roughly 60% of the advertising budget."
One of Sun Pacific's complaints concerned broadcast of television ads in Boston, where Cuties had no distribution or customers, he said. Spanish clementines dominate Boston, Philadelphia and New York City.
"We're going a cheaper, more streamlined way," said Evans, who prefers in-store and social media promotions, coupons and the like. "I think the Cuties brand would be where it is without TV advertising."

Determine Maintenance Requirements
There are many different techniques for capturing rainwater, each requiring different levels of maintenance.
This general information will give you an idea of what to expect:
- Recycling green waste: Fallen, dead or damaged leaves and branches can be processed into mulch. Mulch can then be spread in swales, under hedges, on berms, around trees and in planting beds. Soft stems, leaves and flowers can be composted.
- Cisterns: If vector or bacteria problems are of concern, stored water may require treatment with chlorine or mosquito dunks. Occasional cleaning of the cistern is also advised, as are inspections to ensure that air and light do not enter the cistern. Measures to prevent development of algae are recommended if sunlight penetrates the cistern.
- Driveway drywells: The driveway grate may quickly fill with leaves and sediment and must be cleared regularly. Since its function is to absorb pollutants from the driveway, the drywell's sand and crushed rock filling should be inspected before the rainy season to prevent clogging and reduced infiltration. If the water level does not drop in the days following a storm, the drywell may be clogged and the sand and crushed rock filling may need to be replaced.
- First-flush units: The decanter component must be emptied regularly to create room for the first-flush of the next storm. This is done by opening a valve at the bottom and letting the water run out onto the lawn.
- Swales: swales should be monitored and mulch replenished as needed. In grassy swales, turf should be mowed during the growing season.
- Retention grading: Retention grading should be inspected for sediment accumulation or loss and appropriate maintenance done after moderate or heavy storm events. Berms should be inspected and any necessary repairs performed.

Dr. Takeshi Ozawa, M.D., 70, passed away at his home Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014.
He was born in Osaka, Japan, on Sept. 23, 1943.
He attended Chiba Medical School outside of Tokyo. After completing an internship at a U.S. Army base in Japan during the Vietnam War, he entered a residency program in internal medicine at Maricopa County Hospital in Phoenix, where he met Judy Hintz, his wife of 40 years.
He later became an assistant professor of nephrology at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta and then at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). He published more than 20 research articles in professional medical journals.
In 1982, he moved his family to Cleveland, where he practiced medicine in the Bradley County area for 25 years. He strongly valued high quality care for elderly patients.
Outside of medicine, he enjoyed golf, especially making a hole-in-one at The Farm in 2000. He also loved traveling to Central and South America, where he studied Spanish and tango.
He was a parishioner of St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church.
He is survived by his wife, Judy Ozawa, of Cleveland; children: Jennifer Ozawa of Arlington, Va., Heidi Contractor and husband, Hamir, of Acworth, Ga., and Ted Ozawa and wife, Marcela, of Seattle; three grandchildren: Lewis Wearmouth and Isla Wearmouth, both of Arlington, Va., and Carter Contractor of Acworth.
A Memorial Mass will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014, at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church.
The family will receive friends from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday at Ralph Buckner Funeral Home.
We invite you to send a message of condolence and view the Ozawa family guestbook at www.ralphbuckner.com.
Memorials may be made to Heifer International.

After the brow services, the client gets a touch up makeup application so that she leaves looking fresh and put together. The aesthetician also teaches the client how to take care of her brows at home. At times, clients enter the salon who have over-tweezed brows. In these instances, says Annie, "we'll sit you down and say come back to us in six weeks and don't touch anything at all. We're not in the business of waxing just for waxing's sake. We really want your brows to be where you want them to be. It's a whole process."
The New Kid on the Block
Benefit's newest product, The Perk-Up Artist, is "the ultimate fake-it," shares Maggie. The kit consists of cover, conceal and correct – a perfect trio for mid-day touch ups. Use the yellow corrector to hide discoloration, like blue tones underneath the eyes. The cover is great for disguising dark circles and blemishes, while the brightener, when worn in the inner corners of the eyes, makes the eyes appear bright and fatigue-free. The three miracle complexion correctors can be worn separately but are doubly impactful when worn in conjunction with the others.
Eyebrow 101
For brow grooming novices, Annie recommends first talking to one of Benefit's skilled aestheticians to become more comfortable with the grooming process. The next step is to start using one or more of Benefit's core brow fake-its. One such core product is High Brow, worn right underneath the eyebrows to hide stray hairs and give a lifted look to the brows. Another option is Brow Zings, a product that comes with a pigmented wax to shape the eyebrows and a natural-colored powder to set them. The kit also comes with two brushes and mini tweezers. The most basic, says Annie, is the Instant Brow Pencil. "This pencil is super unique because it's a combination of wax and powder," she explains. "It's not just like a normal hard pencil – its actually really creamy."

Jim Cundall, flight coordinator and volunteer with HonorAir, told the Rotary Club of Cleveland there are usually 130 veterans on each flight.
"I feel like I have been blessed. I get to talk to everyone of these veterans, because they have to confirm they want to go on this trip once they have been selected," Cundall said. "When they call I do not have to talk, I just have to listen. They are wonderful stories."
The trips leave Knoxville early in the morning, tour D.C. and return to Knoxville around 8 p.m. Veterans have the opportunity to tour the World War II and Korean War monuments. They also witness the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns in the Arlington National Cemetary. Additional sites seen from the bus, and in passing, include the Jefferson Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans memorial, the United States AirForce Memorial and more.
A strict schedule is kept due to the time restraints of the day-trip.
"We have an honor guard to recognize them just before they go through security. Believe it or not, TSA gives them special consideration. We have our own line they can go through," Cundall said.
Just before the veterans take off, the city mayor, the county mayor and other dignitaries address the gathered crowd.
A tremendous procession awaits the soldiers when they land in D.C. and return to Knoxville.
Cundall said for some it is like the homecoming they never had.
Raymond Shirley, a WWII veteran, said in a testimonial the welcome moved him to tears.
"It was in sharp contrast to the day I returned to my hometown in December 1946," Shirley said. "When I was discharged from the Navy, following the surrender of Japan, I was given a bus ticket to my home in Sheffield, Ala."
"I arrived unnoticed with some $50 in my pocket and no prospect of employment."
Norm Kratschmer, a WWII veteran, said there have been three experiences in his life which made a lasting impression. The first was the day he married his wife. The second was when he arrived home on Aug. 17, 1945, because he doubted making it back alive. The third was the trip to Washington, D.C.
He described the experience as being very emotional and very memorable.
Cundall attempted to place a new picture of veterans in the Rotarians' minds.
"You've got to remember. You see these guys as old guys, but they were 18 or 19-year-old-kids [during their service]," Cundall said. "The youngest soldier was 12."
It costs approximately $60,000 for the entire trip. Each veteran's passage costs $500.
Cundall said donations, fundraising and sponsorships make it possible to sponsor two trips a year.
The event is presented by Prestige Cleaners and sponsored by Covenant Health with lists of donors on the HonorAir website, www.honorairknoxville.com.
A total of 40 guardians accompany the veterans on the trips. These people are made up up family, friends and volunteers. In addition, two registered nurses and one doctor join the travels.
A final testimonial by Bernie Shorr captured the veterans' feelings upon returning to Knoxville.
"When we returned at the end of the day, a large crowd welcomed us home, clapping and waving flags and thanking us for our years of service," Shorr said. "The UT Band played 'Rocky Top.' We did not consider ourselves heroes, even though we were treated as heroes on this trip."
"We just did what we had to do to win the war in the shortest possible time."
Shorr said, "After 68 years, I now realize that the American public really does appreciate what we did."

William Blake's Sexual Path to Spiritual Vision, by Martha Keith Schuchard
Inner Traditions, 9781594772115, 415 pp., 2008
This is the first paperback issue in this country of a book originally published in 2006 in the U.K. It had its origin in scholarly research but has been diminished in size and complexity, although not in quality, to produce a book more likely to appeal to a non-academic audience.
There is a large amount of background data provided on the subject of 18th and 19th century esoterica. This is important to provide a solid base for the understanding of Blake and his works.

I stumbled across this incredible lotion a few days before my wedding. I found myself applying and reapplying this rich lotion simply so I could breath in the enchanting aroma to calm my frazzled nerves. The scent is warm, soothing, and uplifting. While I use this lotion year round, I could see it being considered a fall scent as it is a woody and warm fragrance. The lotion soaks in quickly, without being greasy, and keeps your skin hydrated for a long time. Additionally, the scent while not overpowering, lasts a long time. I highly recommend the entire line in this scent.
Was this review helpful? Yes No
Out of this world!
I received this as a Birthday gift and boy I am glad! To start my morning everyday with smelling so lovely, I do not even need perfume. With the coming of Fall it is just perfect. Thanks to my sister-in-law for giving me this gift and thank you for creating such a gift! I have already found a place in my neighborhood that carries your product, so I will never be without. Thanks again!
Queen of the Perfumed body lotions
I was given this as a present last year and was introduced to my signature Autumn scent. The lotion itself is profoundly fragrant as well as moisturizing regardless of the climate or time of year; skin is brought to new levels of hydration and smoothness and profound touchability. The scent is unmistakably Autumn, warm and sultry appropriate for both younger and older ladies. This lotion and fragrance is not marked by age but by the mysterious reflection of the woman who chooses to such a nourishing humectant for her body and alluring Aura around her that invites compliments.
It took me 21 years to find my signature scent...
... and I'm so happy I found it! This scent is very earthy with a hint of spice. If you enjoy heavier, darker scents rather than sweet florals then you will love this. Often times scented lotions fade quickly, but I've found that this even lingers a bit after I shower or have a sweaty workout. It also really moisturizes instead of just sitting on top of the skin and making it greasy or sticky
My New Signature Line- Is absolutely Gorgeous and So Happy I found it
A true Classic! I'm absolutely addicted and beyond adore this scent. The "Body Cream" is a definite favorite evoking a warm beautiful "sensual scent" that's as classical and beloved as any extremely expensive perfume I've ever experienced (which is many). The creme as well as the entire line are perfectly scented so I can apply cream with abandon. It is unique when applied as it absorbs immediately leaving skin baby soft, dry, smooth (really smooth) and silky. I've not experienced any cream quite like this in it's skin delivery ( a pleasing experience).
I feel in love immediately when I sampled this cream. Immediately buying many products including body cream, perfume, hard soap, fragrance ball and mini lotion set, shower gel and more.
If your on the fence the mini lotion or mini lotion with perfume ball is a great way to try this out.
The past few year I added "multi sample packets" with a few of my orders per year to enable me to easily experience some new and old favorites of Thymes which is enjoyable and lends a perfect way to experience many of the Thymes products. I certainly found a new treasure such as this line. They make a lovely little gift too.
I just adore every product in the line however I must mention if I could only buy two things it would be the body cream and bar soap which is a piece of art both in visual and as a soap. Deeply chiseled with an intricate design so elegant it took my breath away. It's also creamy, lathers well, cleans and softens hands and body- plus last forever. My husband likes the bar soap too. It's just a little less feminine in scent Men and women alike rave, rave, rave after using it. I keep a lotion beside it. It looks even more beautiful in it's soap dish companion.Enjoy!

Is the battle of the bulge a constant in your life? Iodine deficiency can present unwarranted increases in body fat, as well as neurological, mental, reproductive and immune problems.
Iodine plays a critical role in apoptosis or "cellular death." With the correct nutritional support, we can stave off early cellular demise. All cells in the body die off at varying rates and release metabolites. Often a burden to the system, clearance of these toxic metabolites may be stunted and decrease immunity. Problems can crop up, such as increased pain and inflammation, sluggish memory and focus, scanty monthly cycles, diminished reproductive capability, tanking energy and blood sugar and blood pressure concerns. Even cancers have greater opportunity to express.
Every single cell in your body needs iodine to function properly. The RDA recommended daily dose is 1,000 mcg, or 1 mg., which may actually be far too low for many. For example, women with large breasts need more iodine than women with smaller breasts or men.
The Great Lakes region in the Midwest is termed "Thyroid Alley" or the "Goiter Belt." During the '90s, studies showed iodine could reverse and resolve fibrocystic breast disease, as well as uterine fibroids. They found all reproductive disorders, as well as thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules, were linked to iodine deficiency.
A myriad of studies also indicated a link between iodine deficiency and prostate, breast, uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers. During pregnancy, iodine deficiency could lead to miscarriages and reduced IQ-levels in offspring. The World Health Organization espouses that iodine deficiency is the largest single cause of mental retardation. Without enough iodine, the body cannot rid itself of heavy metals — such as mercury, fluorides, chlorides, and bromides.
With doses ranging from 12.5 mg to 50 mg per day (for diabetics, up to 100 mg a day,) researchers found cystic problems reversed, and diabetics needed less insulin. Patients on thyroid medications required less medication, while migraine sufferers stopped having migraines.
An iodine deficiency increases the risk of developing thyroid, endometrial and prostate cancer. The Japanese consume 100 times the RDA's recommended dosage, or 13.6 mg a day on an average. They have the lowest incidence of thyroid disease, as well as the aforementioned cancers.
To touch on the vanity aspect in all of us, iodine helps to metabolize excess fat!
If you take too much iodine it can produce a metallic taste, sores in the mouth, swollen glands, or diarrhea and vomiting. Keep in mind that dietary "overdosing" on foods such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, spinach and turnips can block the uptake of iodine.

OK, so I'm moving past the initial giddiness and the time has come to know whether I should love the Core set or at best tolerate it as a necessary evil to endure so you can get into the game.
So, what is the card distribution like? Are we returning to the wholesome goodness of 1x per card so you can buy three Core sets to get a full playset with no card waste, or are we keeping with the irrationally lumpy distribution of Lord of the Rings where you get 3x some cards, 1x or 2x others, so that you still have to buy three Cores but end up with a ton of wasted cards and a smaller useable collection to show for it.

Forever 21 Launches Online Only Capsule 2.1
Forever 21's new web exclusive collection, Capsule 2.1, is catnip for girls with Coachella-ready style. With geometric prints, camouflage and distressed denim punctuated by studs, spikes and cutouts, the pieces are basically born for that music festival. (Or a Kate Moss Halloween costume.)
Since prices hover between $27.80 for a studded chiffon top and $72.80 for a faux fur jacket, they'd cost less than that concert ticket, too, so they're a bit tough-looking but not tough on your wallet. Instead, they're just easy, collectible standbys to pair with messy eyeliner and motorcycle boots (of course). Click through below to check our favorite pieces or shop the full range here—and only there, since it's not available in the brand's brick and mortar stores.

For additional details on this case, please see, "UPDATED: Jensens face federal criminalharges in cantaloupe case"
Courtesy FDAIn less than two months, cantaloupe growers Eric and Ryan Jensen are scheduled to be tried on criminal charges because their fruit was linked to the 2011 listeria monocytogenes outbreak that killed at least 33.
The charges are bringing a debate to the industry. Some say the charges against the brothers aren't enough and that others in the supply chain are also criminally liable. The Jensens each face sentences up to six years and up to $1.5 million in fines for the six charges they each face.
Others say it's outrageous the Jensens are facing any charges, that the case signals a mindset within the U.S. Justice Department that could threaten all growers.
Officials with the U.S. Attorney's office in Denver aren't saying much, partly because of the shutdown of the federal government. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jaime Pena is prosecuting the case. He declined comment.
Jeffrey Dorschner, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Denver office, said on Oct. 1 that charges against anyone else are "highly unlikely."
Regarding why the Jensens face misdemeanor rather than felony charges, Dorschner said "the charges filed are the best most appropriate charges given the specific circumstances of this crime." The applicable federal statute requires the government to prove intent for felony charges, but not for misdemeanors.
The lack of a need to prove the Jensens intentionally sent contaminated cantaloupes into commerce is a troubling point for growers of all commodities as far as one cantaloupe safety expert is concerned.
Coral BeachTrevor Suslow, an extension research specialist in produce safety at the University of California-Davis, says all growers should watch the case against Eric and Ryan Jensen closely. The cantaloupe-listeria case marks the first time growers have faced criminal charges in a foodborne illness outbreak. Trevor Suslow, University of California-Davis extension research specialist in preharvest to postharvest produce safety, said criminal charges of any level are excessive, "as they have not been applied to seemingly more egregious cases of adulteration in the past that did not result in this action."
The Jensen case marks the first time for growers to face criminal charges in relation to a foodborne illness outbreak.
"I cannot agree with statements that the Jensens should have known that these (a lack of chlorine and no pre-cooling) were deficiencies in their standards of care for food safety of cantaloupes," Suslow said. "If everyone tells you that everything is great and in good shape why would you question what you are doing?"

Pilots, Please Help Us Win $10,000
Posted by: Kelley Welf on Oct 26, 2010
We all know the mid-term elections are just around the corner, but the Lindbergh Foundation needs your vote today.
The Lindbergh Foundation is competing against 19 other organizations for one of 5 gifts of $10,000 to be given by Lightspeed Aviation Foundation this fall. The newly created Lightspeed Aviation Foundation actively supports aviation growth, education and works of compassion. The top 5 organizations receiving the most votes by the pilot community will each receive a contribution. I am personally asking you to join me in voting for the Lindbergh Foundation today! Simply click the VOTE NOW button at www.lindberghfoundation.org to vote. It's quick, easy, and could really help a great organization.
If you'd like to know more about the Lindbergh Foundation, read on!
Most people are aware of the numerous contributions Charles Lindbergh made to aviation, but few know that Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh worked at the leading edge of environmental awareness, a result of their ability to observe changes in our surroundings from a perspective previously unavailable to humankind — from the air. In their later years, the Lindberghs passionately supported many technological breakthroughs that improved the quality of life in such varied fields as medicine, education, and agriculture, all while stressing the importance of preserving our environment.
I believe the Lindbergh Foundation's mission to advocate the balanced use of innovation and technology to benefit all life on Earth is even more relevant today.
For over 30 years, the Foundation has executed this mission by encouraging solutions, acknowledging progress and communicating ideas:
- We encourage solutions through our Grants Program. Bright, creative and innovative individuals receive grants to conduct scientific research or educational projects that address a variety of environmental issues, including projects that focus on aviation. In recent years, the Lindbergh Foundation has funded projects that worked to reduce the drag over aircraft to improve fuel efficiencies, develop electric aircraft, use aircraft to save Koalas while supporting the timber industry, reduce noise pollution, test a direct injection fuel nozzle to accommodate the discontinuation of 100LL, and more!
- We acknowledge progress through the Lindbergh Awards Program, which recognizes individuals and corporations whose work has made significant contributions to enhancing the quality of life while demonstrating a balance between technology and any environmental impacts. Among our notable Award recipients are: Harrison Ford, Jack Pelton, Jim Fowler, Neil Armstrong, Burt Rutan, Dr. Sally Ride, Capt. Eugene Cernan, and Sen. John Glenn.
- We communicate ideas through educational programs that serve as a conduit for outreach, forums, symposia, publications and social media. In all educational efforts, the purpose resonates with using technology to better the quality of all life while still being sensitive to environmental issues.
I hope you'll support the Lindbergh Foundation today. A simple click can help the Foundation earn $10,000 from the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation. Please vote today.
