Diamond Improves on the HD 3870
The fastest single-GPU card from AMD is still the Radeon HD 3870 and continues to struggle to stand up to the increasing competition from NVIDIA. Diamond is attempting to bump up the GPU's performance by increasing the frame buffer to 1GB - but can it help performance at all?
New in 3DMark Vantage
The new 3DMark Vantage software is finally available after several months of "leaked" screenshots and information flooding the forums. Now that 3DMark has moved to DirectX 10 what can you expect to find in this incredibly popular benchmarking software?
VT HD 3870 Introduction
Previously we have reviewed the VisionTek Radeon HD 3850 card, but how does its bigger brother compare to the competition from big(ger) green? VisionTek has been making a pretty significant push into the retail market as of late, and the HD 3870 is their mainstream offering in the $169 to $200 price range.
Sapphire takes on the AMD Radeon HD 3650
The AMD Radeon HD 3650 is a mid-range low cost GPU aimed at the under $100 market of graphics cards. Sapphire is one of the AMD's best partners and is known for taking their products and making them better than reference design. But does the HD 3650 have the power to take on NVIDIA's 8600 GTS cards?
The ray tracing debate continues
Crytek's CEO Cevat Yerli sat with us to answer some questions on the topic of ray tracing, its future in gaming and how Intel's push into hardware ray tracing might be affecting the way games are made.
9800 GTX with a Twist
BFG is taking the 9800 GTX a step further by bumping up the core, shader and memory clocks quite a bit in the new OCX model. Come see if these new record G92 speeds are going to be worth your money.
NVIDIA is pumping out new products like they are going out of style...so are they? The new 9800 GTX does not bring us anything that we haven't seen before but better performance and lower prices is always a plus. Oh, and 3-Way SLI is always fun to test!
Quad SLI Technology
NVIDIA is taking another swing at Quad SLI this time with the 9800 GX2 graphics card. Can it succeed where the 7950 GX2 failed and can it best the impressive feature set that we saw with the AMD CrossFireX technology?
NVIDIA revisits dual-GPU graphics boards
NVIDIA has classed up their card line up with a new product that is both powerful for gaming and easy on the eyes with a unique completely enclosed cooling design. You might want to keep that credit card with your better half though before heading in to read.
Ray tracing for more than rendering
John Carmack sat down to talk with us about the current world in graphics including all the discussion about Intel and ray tracing, what id has in mind for the next engine following id Tech 5 / Rage and how the multi-GPU world is panning out.
Another take on ray tracing
Ray tracing and rasterization: the battle rages on. We have heard from Intel several times on the value that ray tracing offers to the gaming community but until now the other GPU giants have been silent. NVIDIA's Chief Scientist David Kirk sat down with us to answer a few questions.
GeForce 9000 series makes its debut
NVIDIA wasn't about to sit back and let the HD 3850 and HD 3870 cards from AMD have all the fun in the $200 graphics card price point. Sure, the 8800 GT was SUPPOSED to be there, but it just didn't pan out. The 9600 GT looks to be a worthy successor though.
An Introduction to CrossFire X technology
AMD has been teasing us with the notion of four GPUs in a system for quite a while, and today we were finally able to get our hands on the driver to enable it. Come in and see how much damage a pair of Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics can do!!
The Basics
While we took an initial look at the 3850 some months ago, we had the chance to do a full review on VisionTek's 3850 offering. Does it trump other boards based on the reference design, or does the tremendous value of the HD 3850 overshadow all?
Physics Still in Turmoil
NVIDIA just announced they are purchasing AGEIA. Has this been the plan for the PhysX provider all along or did the purchase of Havok by Intel push their hand? Come read our analysis of this surprise addition to today's news.
Come on Guys
Intel's Skulltrail hasn't been a secret, nor has its use of an nForce chip on motherboard to permit NVIDIA SLI a fact that has been kept close to the chest. However, we have some new information that is causing a stir for us: will Skulltrail work with 3-Way SLI from NVIDIA?
AMD R680 - Dual GPU graphics card
AMD is aiming for enthusiast-class performance with their new Radeon HD 3870 X2 card and they want the areas that the 8800 Ultra and GTX from NVIDIA have held onto for a long time now. Can this new dual-GPU card really do that without busting outside the power envelope of them as well?
The 256MB 8800 GT Shakes the Lineup
The XFX 8800 GT 256MB Alpha Dog Edition is the first we have reviewed of the 256MB 8800 GTs -- and we aren't that impressed. Sorry XFX, it looks like NVIDIA dropped a stinker in the wake of the 8800 GTS 512MB...
The 8800 GT Cooling Issue
Think your new 8800 GT could use some extra cooling power? We do too and here are a couple of our favorite options. Both Thermaltake and Thermalright have good choices for different segments of users.
An Early Sneak Peek
AMD let a few members of the press get some hands on time with upcoming technology that will allow entry-level gamers combine the power of an IGP chipset with a low-cost discrete graphics board. Will this new hybrid CrossFire turn into something great?

LOUISVILLE, KY - (April 14, 2008) The Official Bat of Major League Baseball®, Louisville Slugger®, has signed ten more players to bat contracts including Dustin Pedroia of the World Champion Boston Red Sox and Troy Tulowitzki of the National League Champion Colorado Rockies.
They and the other new Louisville Slugger signees join the more than eight-thousand professional baseball players who have been under contract with Louisville Slugger, dating back to the great Honus Wagner who was the first to sign in 1905. Eighty percent of the hitters in Baseball's Hall of Fame and thirteen members of the 2007 Major League Baseball All Star teams were under contract with Louisville Slugger.
The newly signed players are:
Shelley Duncan - New York Yankees Brett Gardner - New York Yankees Alex Gordon - Kansas City Royals Howard Kendrick - Anaheim Angels Evan Longoria - Tampa Bay Rays Dustin Pedroia - Boston Red Sox Juan Pierre - Los Angeles Dodgers Colby Rasmus - St. Louis Cardinals Ryan Spilborghs - Colorado Rockies Troy Tulowitzki - Colorado Rockies
These players' signatures will grace the barrels of Louisville Slugger bats, as did those of great players like Wagner, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Harmon Killebrew, George Brett, Kirby Puckett, Tony Gwynn, and Cal Ripken Jr., to name only a few. Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey, Jr., Manny Ramirez, Jeff Francoeur, Prince Fielder and Jim Thome are among the many current players also under contract with Louisville Slugger. More than 60 percent of Major League Baseball players today swing Louisville Slugger Bats.
"These players know that they have 124 years of bat making experience behind them when they step into the batters box with a Louisville Slugger bat," said Louisville Slugger Pro Baseball Division Manager Chuck Schupp. "They also know that they will have the very best timber available, along with outstanding customer service. We do whatever it takes to make the guys who use our bats happy. That's the way our company has done business since 1884."
Louisville Slugger bats are made by Hillerich & Bradsby Co. of Louisville, Kentucky. H&B produces 1.8 million wood bats per year and 1.5 million TPX and TPS aluminum, composite, and hybrid bats for amateur baseball, slow pitch softball, and fastpitch softball.

It has become so popular that it has been taken to Tirunelveli
From July 23, 2005, the 'Madurai heritage walk' has come a long way. Initiated by the Confederation of Indian Industry in association with the Indian Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, the walk is now in full steam with the involvement of a non-governmental organisation, Dhan Foundation, and Department of Tourism. After a bout of fits and starts in the initial years, the walk takes place religiously on the second Sunday of every month.
For a few years, it involved exploration of the city and now lovers of culture and heritage are taken to the peripheries. The heritage walk has become so popular that it has been taken to Tirunelveli where it takes place on the fourth Sunday of every month. People from these places also travel to Madurai to participate in the second Sunday walk.
Locals roped in
The tour has taken a new form with the involvement of locals in preserving the heritage sites in the last two months. At Kodimangalam, about 15 km from Madurai, where the heritage walk took place on April 8, local youth demonstrated a keen interest to preserve the temples of the village – Vallabha Vinnagaram and Tirukkura Eswaram. Only the sanctum sanctorum of Vallabha Vinnagaram, where the idols of Upadesa Ramar and Sita are found, remains now, surrounded by houses.
The Tirukkura Eswaram, which has rare inscriptions of Kulasekara Pandian and Rajaraja Cholan on its walls, is now a Murugan temple with a Siva Lingam. R. Venkatraman, former Professor, Department of History, Madurai Kamaraj University, explained the greatness of the king who created the place. V. Vedachalam, senior epigraphist, took the participants around the remnants of a bigger temple and explained the presence of a trading centre near Kodimangalam in the past.
K. P. Bharathi, Programme Leader, Dhan Foundation, who organises the walk with breakfast, sees a transformation in the heritage walk in the last few years. Initially, it started as a guided tour of places in the neighbourhood. People, especially students, were taken on a walk from Tirumalai Nayak Palace to Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple. The sad part of the walk is that the ancient building that housed the Vilakkuthoon police station on East Masi Street has become part of history after the government's decision to construct a modern structure, opposition from heritage lovers notwithstanding. Two more routes have been identified for the city walk. On an average, 40 to 50 people take part in the walk every month, along with a sizeable number of locals.
Moving away from the city has led to the involvement of locals. Besides creating awareness of the greatness of the place in which they live, the walk has also attempted to instil a sense of responsibility in them. A responsibility to preserve the structure, protect the trees around and prevent vandalism. The heritage walk has taken people to around 40 places in and around Madurai so far. The list includes nine Jain vestiges. The present cycle is on the banks of the Vaigai, covering the villages that dot the 'Rani Mangammal Rastha,' the erstwhile trade route.
The Postal Training College in Madurai has allocated an exclusive day for heritage walk for participants in its schedule. So far, trainees have been taken to 1800 post offices in and around Madurai, says Mr. Bharathi.

A Defense of Process Patents
Patent Trolls (249 comments)
There's a large misconception about Microsoft being a patent troll. In fact, they have never used their patents to bully other companies. Only time they've used their patents is when other companies have tried to bully them.
In turn, take a look at Google who is outright buying companies to make their patent war-chest larger and larger. They're somewhat new company so they're only been preparing their chest now. How long until they start hitting companies with patent lawsuits? And how does Google justify having those patents? Apart from their search engine they haven't really made anything by themselves. All the other products are bought off from other new and innovative companies. I mean, just take a look at Android! And thanks to Google, these new innovative products get cancelled because there is no immediate profit in them. Google is, in fact, one of the biggest and most evil companies when it comes to suppressing innovation and start-ups.

Sitting peacefully on the banks of the Macintyre River at the junction of five major highways, Goondiwindi is a well-established border town. You'll find its a vibrant, contemporary place with excellent facilities and amenities and its river frontage provides a unique and tranquil setting for one of Queensland's fastest growing communities. In late spring you'll see a breath-taking display as jacaranda trees lining the streets burst into full purple bloom.
... moreGoondiwindi provides a range of accommodation and once settled there's shopping, dining and so much more to do around the town and beyond. Marshall and Herbett Streets offer a terrific range of shopping experiences, from gifts and homewares to quality clothing stores.
The town's major rural products include wheat, cotton, beef and wool, while major industries include service industries, machinery sales and repairs. Goondiwindi is also home to one of the largest cotton gins in the world and tours are available.
On a self-guided walk around the town you'll find the recently refurbished iconic Victoria Hotel, built in the era of Queen Victoria and then added to it the 1920s. The building features some of the most outstanding architecture in the region. Situated in the heart of the main street, you can't miss this old dame - a study building or brick and timber, with a criss-cross of dark panelling and white lattice on its facades, stained-glass windows and doorways, crowned by an ornamental (and slightly off-kilter)tower.
Be sure to also drop by the Gunsynd Statue located near the original Border bridge. It commemorates the famous 'Goondiwindi Grey' - a racehorse that went on to win 29 races including the Cox plate and the four big mile races.

The shoreline is rocky with only a sliver of beach but don't let that deter you—this is a popular and historically significant park. Captain James Cook first landed in Hawaii here in 1778 to refurbish his ships. When he returned a year later, he was killed in a skirmish with Hawaiians, now marked by a monument on the north end of Kealakekua Bay. The area is surrounded by high green cliffs, creating calm conditions for superb swimming, snorkeling, and diving. You'll see a variety of marine life here, including colorful reef fish, corals, and, most likely, dolphins. The trails behind the shore, leading to Hikiau Heiau, are rocky but walkable. Parking is limited. Be aware of the off-limits area (in case of rockfalls) marked by orange buoys. Amenities: parking (no fee); toilets. Best for: snorkeling; swimming.

(15.3% alcohol): Good bright, deep red. Black raspberry and dark chocolate on the nose. Sweet, dense and creamy on the palate, with plush flavors of kirsch , licorice and bitter chocolate. The broad finish features substantial tannins and a touch of warmth. This big boy is almost too much of a good thing; it currently shows less refinement than some recent vintages.

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon One Point Five (99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot) exhibits aromas of blueberries, black currants, incense and delicate floral notes. Following the stunning perfume, this full-bodied, elegant, super-rich wine reveals great definition and purity of black currants and black raspberries gentle wrapped in subtle spicy oak. This classic Cabernet is the quintessential model for both Stags Leap and Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The tannins are sweet enough that it can be drunk now, but it should evolve easily for two decades.

Intense and concentrated, this red is typically rustic, tilting toward dark berry and cedar, with gripping, gutsy tannins that should appeal to those who like to chew on their wines.

Where are the best ones? What plants shrubs alpines conifers smallish trees look best in combination on those small sites? Anyone ever design to scale a graveside planting that thrived in the graveyard environment?
Do tell. bj |

BJ Cemetary plots would seem to come in several varieties. Are you looking for a single plot or a more comprehensive family plot? Typical plants seem to be restricted to Yews and other long living evergreen material. One site though that I know of had thyme planted on the family plots. Apparently the last of the line had ordered a set of thyme plants/seeds and they arrived a week or so after he passed away. The decision was made to sow the thyme over the gravesite and it really does look nice. |
In my area people tend to plant dwarf Alberta Spruce on either side of the stone - a REALLY BAD idea because they are Really-Not-So-Dwarf. These trees cover and upend the gravestone after a few years. Don't do it. Sedum 'Autumn Joy' on the other hand is the best behaved plant for a cemetery. It looks stylish from early spring when it pokes out of the ground, right through the summer when it blooms, and into December when there is frost/snow on the dried flowers. The only way you can go wrong with this plant is to over-water or over-fertlize it. I just passed a cemetery the other day when I was speaking in New Hampshire, and the sign at the entry said "No Artificial Flowers - No Plantings" and I have to say that although I laughed at the sign, the cemetery was lovely and peaceful - grass and the headstones...period. Perhaps memorial plantings should be made in other locations? |

"Another great program by Gerry. WTG!!!"
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This program is truly a great program. The things you can do with it is virtually limitless. I read where people are asking for more sounds such as rushing water and night creatures. You can download or record your own sounds and place them into this program. This is what this program is all about, making your own worlds and sharing them for others to enjoy. I have made a world that I call Creatures of the Night. I got my sounds from the internet. The owner of the sounds gave me permission to use them, but didn't want me to publish my world becaue he actually sells his sounds, otherwise I'd be happy to share it. This is a very simple program to use and i love it. Keep up the good work Gerry!!!!

Here in Canada, where more than 81 per cent of us now live in urban centres, the challenge is how to create successful communities that are safe, healthy and sustainable. Jobs are of course central, but so too is making cities affordable for the majority. In Greater Vancouver, the average house price now exceeds $801,000, a rise of 83 per cent in the past decade.
Lately, I have been flipping through fashion magazines and seeing celebrities like Kim Kardashian and others who have lush, gorgeous lashes that just look so amazing there must be something more to their look. Recently, I spoke with Joyce Poon, President & Founder of Noir Lash Lounge and she shared with me her insider tips and tricks to having amazing temporary lashes.
My newsfeed is littered with concerns of body image, equal pay for equal work, and why women are still underrepresented in books and film. When someone pulls a cheap publicity stunt they may indeed receive the attention they so badly desire, but the net result to society is no longer necessarily a negative. We have come far enough that with every empty and ridiculous action you actually help push things along.

George Washington delivered his famous Farewell Address 217 years ago on September 19.
Our contemporary federal government is at least as tyrannical as the government of England in 1776, yet we continue to suffer the "long train of abuses." By Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
In the days immediately preceding the U.S. Civil War, strongly held personal beliefs drove families apart as members took sides. When war began, suffering visited all.
Secrecy and States' Rights: The Constitutional Convention of 1787 Begins
Written by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.On May 29, 1787, the delegates gathered at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia got down to the business of hammering out a government for the United States of America.

Pulis pleased with Tuncay fitness
Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has been impressed with the improvement that striker Tuncay has made with his fitness levels during the summer.Turkey international Tuncay, 28, joined the Potters from Championship side Middlesbrough for £5m in August 2009. But he struggled to make a real impact, starting just 13 Premier League games. "Tuncay's worked hard in pre-season and he's looked sharp," Pulis told BBC Radio Stoke. "He looks a lot fitter than he was last year." Tuncay netted a hat-trick .... read more

Chess Middlegames Books
Featuring the 100 Most Important Middlegame Ideas
Following on from his successful Understanding Chess Endgames, John Nunn turns his attention to the middlegame - the phase of the chess battle where most games are decided, yet the one that has received the least systematic treatment from chess writers. With the outstanding clarity for which he is famous, Nunn breaks down complex problems into bite-sized pieces.

March 2014 Editorial
Choice: The Next 50 Years
Readers who opened their newspapers during the first week in March, 1964, were greeted by headlines that still resonate in our national memory. Lyndon Johnson had completed his first 100 days in office and was preparing for a presidential campaign, the secretary of state was "optimistic" about prospects for victory in Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Republic were calling for independence and self-determination for Yemen. Timely stories, the echoes of which continue to be heard to this day.
That same week, a smaller group of readers was opening the first issue of a new journal devoted to reviews of scholarly books.That journal, whose fiftieth anniversary edition you are reading today, was a product of those same times, and the fact that it continues to flourish is a tribute to the ways in which it maintains links with its own past while adapting to changes in both publishing and librarianship, along the way garnering the respect and loyalty of its dedicated readers.
It is worth recalling that the success of Choice was no foregone conclusion. Funded by a modest grant from the Council on Library Resources, and working out of a small office at Wesleyan University, the fledgling journal had only a brief period in which to prove that it could sustain itself. And yet, under the capable leadership of its founding editor, Richard K. Gardner, Choice was so gratefully received by the library community that within a year it was looking for a larger office space and had secured a reliable base of both subscribers and advertisers. Success begot success, and before long the journal found itself issuing Choice Reviews on Cards (1968), the second edition of Books for College Libraries (1975), and its first reviews of nonprint resources (1980). Another nineteen years would pass before publication of Choice Reviews.online (1999), but only two years after that, Choice reviews made their initial appearance in library OPACs, followed by a succession of licensing arrangements that made our content available in aggregated information databases and library ordering and fulfillment systems. Clearly, a new era was in the offing.
Now Choice is beginning its fifty-first year, and with it comes the inevitable questions as to what the future holds for our publication. What role will reviews serve in the evolving world of collection development? What other services can we provide that will be of use to the library community? While we are no better at predictions than anyone else, this much, at least, seems clear: regardless of how scholarly texts are produced, published, accessed, and "consumed" in the years to come, the need for discovery services will only become stronger. We see reviews—in their current form or otherwise—as integral to discovery, so it seems plausible to suggest that the future of Choice is tied to the future of these methodologies. It may be that the content we produce will come to serve multiple audiences, both librarians and library patrons, for instance, or that we will begin creating information metadata at new levels of granularity or in new formats. Who knows what lies ahead, or what the editor of Choice will have to say about these times fifty years from now?—MC

Los Angeles Preps: Matt Leinart
Su'a Cravens can lean on rich family tree
November, 15, 2011
By Dan Arritt | ESPNLosAngeles.com
Vista Murrieta High SchoolSu'a Cravens has an advantage in the recruiting process by coming from a family with so many good athletes.
MURRIETA -- USC wants him as a halfback, Oklahoma hopes to slot him at linebacker or strong safety. Notre Dame, UCLA, Stanford or Boise State? They might feel lucky just to lure Su'a Cravens on campus for a visit.
These are just a few of the options for the nation's hottest recruit in the class of 2013.
Cravens, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound junior for Vista Murrieta High School in Southwest Riverside County, already claims 17 scholarship offers from major colleges across the country.
[+] Enlarge
Vista Murrieta High SchoolSu'a Cravens is probably more known for his defense, but he has shown this season what he can do on offense too.
Talk about a lot to digest for a kid who won't turn 17 until next summer.
Fortunately for Cravens, who will lead the Broncos into the first round of the SS-Inland Division playoffs Friday night against visiting La Verne Damien, there's no shortage of trusted advice.
His family tree is filled with athletes who've been through the recruiting process, listened to the promises and witnessed how scenarios can quickly change once a college career begins.
Look no further than his grandfather, Jack Cravens, who was convinced to turn down a scholarship offer to play for legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden.
"I have a lot of helpful information around me," Su'a Cravens said. "And I'm always listening."
His two closest advisers are his father, Kevin Cravens, and older brother, Siaki, a junior defensive lineman for the University of Hawaii.
Siaki's recruiting experience began when he was one of the top tight ends in the Inland Empire during his senior season at Temecula Valley High in 2007. One of the schools that showed interest was Utah, coached by Kyle Whittingham, whose sister is married to Kevin Cravens' younger brother, Ryan.
Siaki committed to the Utes as a slot receiver, but the coaching staff switched him to middle linebacker the first day of practice.
"For a kid who had never played defense before, that was a total shock to him," Kevin Cravens said.

The Most Important Thing I Forgot to Tell You!
Hi! Next week we'll all make huge New Year's resolutions and gear up for an amazing 2009 (I've got a good one, but I'll tell you next week!). But this week, just be. You'll get in touch with parts of yourself that have been buried under stress and hurt. You'll remember who you really are on the inside. That's true peace and joy. In fact, I'm leaving the office right now to practice what I preach! XOXO P.S. Tell me how you're relaxing and having fun right now!
I hope that you're cuddled up in your warmest sweats and cuddliest sweater, drinking hot chocolate while you check your Facebook and MySpace your friends....We have all had a WILD few months. But my favorite thing about the holidays is that the entire country takes a deep breath and gets in a warm-and-fuzzy mood for a minute. And while this year we've talked a lot about all the amazing things you're going to do in your life and all the huge dreams that you're dreaming, the one thing we forgot to talk about is how important it is to just RELAX. Have fun. Let your brain wander.

Praise Network Upgrades with GatesAir
CINCINNATI — GatesAir, a global leader in over-the-air broadcast solutions for radio and television, today announced that Midwestern U.S. broadcaster Praise Network has successfully transitioned its over-the-air operations to GatesAir Flexiva™ FM transmitters at KPRD-FM and KGCR-FM in Hays and Brewster, Kansas, respectively, setting the religious broadcaster on the path toward a network-wide, solid-state transmitter upgrade that to date has improved quality and enhanced operational efficiencies at two of its 10 stations.
The installations were set in motion in late 2013, following on-air emergencies that amplified the broadcaster's need to modernize its transmission facilities. After evaluating multiple suppliers, Praise Network selected GatesAir, citing its agility and responsiveness in a challenging situation.
"We lost two full-power transmitters in succession from another supplier, with no spare parts available," said Alex McKenzie, technical engineer at Praise Network. "GatesAir immediately made it clear that they could quickly accommodate our delivery needs while living up to their reputation for quality and reliability. The Flexiva transmitter design provides the redundancy we need to remain on the air at all times, while drastically reducing maintenance requirements. With its consistent performance and remote monitoring tools, there is rarely a need to visit the transmitter sites."
Praise Network plans to transition all of its FM stations to efficient solid-state transmitters to improve performance and simplify maintenance. The broadcaster is particularly pleased with the on-air sound quality, which is further enhanced by integrated Orban audio processing. This innovative, built-in technology replaced aging standalone processors, further streamlining maintenance procedures. The integration of Orban technology also allows customers to export their processing settings and quickly recover from transmitter downtime — a key differentiator from transmitters offering the same built-in processing option.
KPRD-FM installed a Flexiva FAX30 (30kW) transmitter, with KGCR-FM adding a FAX20 (20kW) model. Both transmitters offer a quick, cost-effective path to digital via an exciter upgrade and some additional minor adjustments — a benefit the broadcaster carefully considered in choosing Flexiva transmitters.
Above all, Praise Network points to customer service as the key deciding factor in choosing GatesAir over the competition.
"GatesAir prides itself on being a customer-first organization, helping broadcasters with everything from quick, reliable disaster recovery systems to digital radio transitions and advanced network architectures — all while producing the high-efficiency, high-quality products and solutions that is the hallmark of our long legacy in over-the-air broadcasting," said Rich Redmond, chief product officer, GatesAir.

Crews Continue Clean-Up Efforts at Site of Kentucky Train Derailment
Crews are continuing efforts to move tanker cars near a chemical fire at the site of a train derailment in Louisville. Louisville MetroSafe spokeswoman Jody Duncan said Saturday that some cars have already been moved away from the site, but workers decided to delay relocating tankers containing the dangerous chemical hydrogen fluoride until debris from the derailment could be cleaned up.
An evacuation order for a 1.2 mile area around the site in southwestern Jefferson County remained in place.
The evacuation was ordered Wednesday when workers using a cutting torch to separate train cars that derailed on Monday ignited chemical vapors from one of the tankers, which continues to burn.
Officials have said the hydrogen fluoride cars, which are near the burning car, pose the biggest threat of danger.

Welcome to kathy_5_6's Member Page
See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
I have been interested in Daylilies for 2 years. I have about 50 cultivars and hope to double that this year.
Initially, almost all of my information came from the daylily forum and from Bill's Hemorocallis (the link I have listed below which is NOT my homepage.)
My long range goal is to collect some of the less popular but worthy varieties to save them from extinction.
Initially I hope to collect as many cultivars hybridized by M. MacMillan as possible. (Many are already out of circulation but may still be in someone's garden. Let me know if you have any).
I'm also interested in any information/history about MacMillan.
I'm especially interested if anyone knows the inspiration behind the name "Heavenly Haviland".
My hometown is Haviland and some might refer to it as "heavenly" because it is a very religious (Quaker) community.
I live in: United States
My zone is: 5/6
My favorite forum 1 is daylily.

I'll say this about Target: the company sure knows how to build suspense.
The Minneapolis-based retailer mysteriously invited news media to attend an unspecified event in New York City Thursday. What exactly, I don't know.
There are a few clues. Target said it will unveil "the next chapter in Target's design partnership model." So rather than just announcing another limited Jason Wu or Missoni collaboration, the company seems to planning something more permanent or longer lasting to how it approaches exclusive merchandise partnerships.
Attending the event, held at Highline Studios in the New York's trendy Meatpacking District in Chelsea, are two Target executives: Stacia Andersen, senior vice president of home division, and Brian Robinson, director of fashion and design partnerships.
I somehow managed to con my editors into letting me attend. So as soon as I find out what's going on, I'll post to this blog.

Note: this may or may NOT work for 2005 and up models with the new speedos.
Polaris has incorporated a safety feature on all their 4wd models. This feature, which is operational all the time when reverse is selected, will limited engine power and cut out the front wheel drive unless you push the "override" button.
One of the main reasons you would want to do this mod is because when you get stuck and the only way out is reverse, it is impossible to pull the ATV backwards while applying throttle AND pushing the override button. It is also very helpful when you use your ATV to plow and need 4wd every time you back up with the weight of the plow hanging off the front.
This mod will give you 4wd and full power when in reverse without having to push the override button. This is for all Polaris Sportsman models with the new style Speedo (2003) and Sp700, 02. Continue down below for pre 03 model instructions.
The problem with the new style, is that the function button for the Speedo is combined with the override button and it is not as straight forward as the old style Speedo. Doing it this way everything works as it should exactly the way it did before the mod.
The nicest thing about this mod is that you do not need to cut any wires or drill any holes.
You will need to purchase a standard 4 pin, 12v relay, 4 pieces of 16 gauge wire about 8" long, 4 female crimp on spade connectors (for connection of wires to relay), and 4 wire splice connectors. (they are usually blue and you simply insert the wires and squeeze with pliers, then fold back the protective locking cover)
Open the pod and locate the wiring harness coming from the Speedo.
Relay terminal #30 connect to Polaris brown wire
Relay terminal #87 connect to Polaris wire gray/orange
Relay terminal #86 connect to Polaris wire red/white
Relay terminal #85 connect to Polaris wire purple.
Use dielectric grease at all electrical connections to prevent corrosion in the long run or even better, liquid tape.
To test, simply put it in reverse with the engine running, if the Speedo flashes the word "SLOW" (just like it did before the mod, when you pressed the override button) you did everything correct. Enjoy

I've got an easier mod yet for you. Wrap a plastic zip tie just above the reverse override button. When you need to use the override you just push the button in and slide the zip tie over top of the button and it will hold the button in for you. When your done you just slide the zip tie back up. At least doing it this way it is not permanantly overridden (not sure if thats a word. lol) especially if a kid or somebody else rides your quad.
I think this way is the correct one its for 05 and up (worked on my 06 and is ALOT simpler). Splice a wire onto the brown wire and grey/orange wire then hook them to a toggle switch. I just used the "work light" switch. Turn the switch on and you have override turn it off and you can access the other functions. Go to quadovator.com for some other tricks like a kit to turn the work lights into reverse lights.

Hey guys. I looked into all the reverse override options for my 03 Polaris Sportsman because it seems I have to press that stinking yellow button everytime I back up and it drives me nuts. Well I had an idea that seems to have worked out fast, easy and didn't cost me a dime. There are actually 3 little holes on the bottom of the box so I pressed the button in (with the quad off) and very slowly drilled a hole through the original hole towards the rear of the quad and through the bottom of the override button. Then I threaded a small screw through the holes which locked in tight by slicing its way through the plastic. My screw had a flathead/crosstip option so if you ever need to pull it out to check your hours or whatever its no problem. One thing is when I turned my quad back on I got a "0" symbol with a little line running clockwise inside it like it was thinking. I'm assuming it would do that either way no matter how you rigged the button up but when I cranked it, it went away and showed an "H" for high gear. So far it is running just fine with full speed reverse in 2 wheel or AWD. Cost nothing, took 2 minutes and is completely reversible, I'm happy 4wheeler rig.jpgThe pic is showing up the wrong way, but if you wanted to you could go about 1/8" towards the outside of the handlebar just to make sure you only go through the plastic. The factory hole may have caught the edge of the copper prongs which control the switch. I can't tell for sure and I'm not taking this assembly apart, but so far no problems

Not a fan of having the auto rev override. I just added a relay and switch that jusy shorts yhe two wires from the yellow button (grey-orange, red white?) This way if someone new hops on my bike they dont kill themselves going backwards.
I use a weather proof led rocker switch so you know of it is on our not. Done it to my last two bikes with no issues.
My buddy's 99 Sportsman 335 will not even idle in reverse unless the override button is pushed. Are we better off just by-passing the switch, rather than troubleshooting the bad component ? Thanks for any advice.

If it is Callisia repens, it can definitely be kept inside. Makes a nice filler around about any larger plant. (Plant shown outside for summer vacation, but definitely a house plant during winter, had for many years.) |

Musical composition, usually brief, generally played as an introduction to another piece. The prelude originated as short pieces that were improvised by an organist to establish the key of a following piece or to fill brief interludes in a church service. Their improvisatory origins were often reflected in rhythmic freedom and virtuosic runs. A section in this style would often lead to a closing fugal section; in time this turned into a separate movement, and preludes came to be paired with fugues. In the 17th century, preludes began to be frequently written for lute or harpsichord. In later years the term came to be used for short piano pieces, often in sets, by composers such as Frédéric Chopin, Aleksandr Scriabin, and Claude Debussy.

All business, no retractable...
Verified Purchase
All business, no retractable guide tube, no shaky shake mechanism, just meat and
potatoes. The less fancy stuff, the less that can go wrong over time. Although
the clip is not removable it is thinner and closer to the body's shaft than any
other pen/pencil I've seen so it doesn't jab into my hand when drawing and
turning the pencil around to get the exact edge I want on the lead. Tiny eraser
under the cap and I was able to drop in 10 .5mm pencil leads in the tube and use
the pencil just fine. I'm guessing it could probably handle 5 more.
The metal feels great and is very smooth. The grip part of the pencil feels good as well with the rounded ridges allowing multiple height/grip placement of your fingers. The tiny copper lead hardness indicator stays out of the way. Just below it are very lightly engraved pencil lead hardness numbers that include 3H 2H H F HB 2B 3B. Unless you switch leads all the time I find this largely pointless but decently implemented and most importantly kept out of the way near a part of the pencil you never touch. Upon examining the main body of the pencil originally thinking it was one piece I noticed a faint line just above the grip. I turned the pencil and almost crapped myself when it suddenly began to twist off. Twisting and twisting I finally managed to separate the two pieces. The bottom piece of metal which is the entire grip area comes off and holds the entire lead storage tube with the eraser and metal cap on the end. The upper piece is simply an empty shell that holds the clip. I was impressed by how much unscrewing it took to separate the two. They really made it so when it screws back together it becomes very solid and will remain so over time. Even more impressive was actually seeing the thickness of the pencils metal shaft at a full 1mm thick. This was not simply a rolled metal tube but a solid hunk of aluminum that had been milled out. I started to lightly twist the pencils lead reservoir tube to see if it came out as well then thought better of it and immediately screwed the pencil back together. The pencil is initially cool to the touch but quickly warms in your hand. It's about one and a half times thicker than your typical mechanical pencil tube and smooth and cool. Like a cigarette without the bad side effects. It is also almost 3/4in shorter than your average size mechanical pencil which again I found to be very nice. I never clip anything to my shirt pockets but I am guessing the reduced height would help as the pencil does not have a retractable tip. From where the pencil would clip on a shirt it is 4 3/8in long. Also take into account some sag in the shirt for the weight of the pencil which weighs about 3 times as much as a solid plastic Pentel Mechanical Pencil. As for the Platinum's weight balance it has slightly more weight towards the front. My only initial reservation was what seemed to be the very long amount of space past the grip to the tip since I like to hold my pencils as low as possible. For that reason I was considering Lammy but they don't make a .5mm fat pencil. However it turns out the amount of space is no more than what I was using before so it was no big deal. In the end I love the Pro Use, it sketches absolutely fine, my search for the perfect pencil has ended. In no way shape or form am I curious about other pencils, I am now fully satisfied. If the Platinum Pro Use had a sister I'd marry it and promise to never draw freakin unicorns with it. Good weight, incredibly solid build, short, fat (I'm sorry, "voluptuous"), low profile clip doesn't get in the way or gouge your hand like so many others. I really can't think of anything I'd want to change on it. My former Pentel side click mechanism pencils were good, my black Platinum Pro Use with rubber grip was great but this lethal metal weapon is perfect. Based on that I would highly recommend this for sketching/writing unless you store your pencils in your pocket often. In that case I would look for a retractable tip mechanical pencil or extend your shirt pockets! Sorry for the long review, I like to be thorough especially for those considering the higher cost of such a pencil. - Rogers - 9 people found this helpful

Verified Purchase
This is only an initial review, as I received the pencil today. However, there
are a lot of good things to notice right off the bat. One, this all metal
construction is spectacular. It isn't anywhere near as heavy as a rotring 600,
but it has all if not more of the solid feel from the build quality. The grip
size is great. I usually go for smaller grips, but this one isn't too big like
lots of pencils can get to be. I really hate reading 2 and 3 star reviews from
people disappointed that when they mistreat their pencil (i.e. DROP IT) that it
doesn't stand up better. Of course a pencil with a permanantly protruding lead
sleeve is going to be damaged. You should recognize this and do your best to
prevent it.
Enough of my rambling. This is one awesome pencil, and as far as drafting AND regular mechanical pencils go, I can honestly say this will be in my top 3 for a long time to come. 5 people found this helpful

I've been experimenting...
Verified Purchase
I've been experimenting with many drawing instruments purchased from JetPens for
eight months now, but this is the first review I've written here--the Pro-Use II
has inspired me.
When I found out there was something beyond mechanical pencils--namely drafting pencils--I went about finding out everything I could about them online. I was after one with a thick, solid grip, because I felt that would be easier ergonomically. After much looking around and reading reviews, it became clear that the Platinum Pro-Use II was the only choice. When I received it I was surprised by just how short it is, but I have somewhat small hands, and after a few days of adjusting, it now feels almost like a part of me. The biggest adjustment was actually the balance; the short length makes it forward weighted, which was quite different than what I came to realize was the back-weighting of the long, decades-old (and still in great shape!) Pentel PD345 mechanical pencil I'd been using, which was further backweighted by a larger eraser stuck on the end. But I've found that the forward weighting of the Pro-Use II is the way to go--it inclines toward the drawing board and seems to make lines with almost no effort from me! In fact, from the very first drawing I made with it, I noticed an improvement in my drawing over what I'd been doing previously. I'm sure this is mostly a mental thing...but given the drawing improvement I've noticed since getting it, I can't help viewing this pencil as something almost magical. The construction is cool, lightweight, and as solid as I can imagine is possible, despite the fact that if you want you can unscrew various parts and pare the pencil down to just the tip, grip, and inner lead-holding tube. Aside from that inner tube, which is plastic, the rest of the body seems to be very finely milled aluminum. By unscrewing the end of the pencil, you can remove the pocket clip, although I've left mine on since it prevents the Pro-Use II from rolling away when placed on a flat surface. There is a very tiny eraser under the end cap, which I have not tried using and do not intend to, since I prefer using standalone block erasers. My favorite part of the Pro-Use II is the grip: nice and thick, initially cool to the touch, and knobbed with those lovely gentle undulating ribs that just seem made for fingertips to grasp with easy security--there's absolutely no slipping, sliding, squishing or grating like you may get with just about any other type of pencil grip. The Pro-Use II grip is a marvelous invention that should go down as a landmark in writing instrument design. I'm a comic artist and the Pro-Use II has been my primary, daily drawing instrument for the past six weeks, during which time I've only come to like and admire it more and more. I use Pentel Super Hi-Polymer 0.5 mm H leads in it, which are pretty easy to find just about anywhere, and haven't had a single lead break or jam, despite having clumsily struck the tip of the pencil against the lower lip of my drawing table on numerous occasions.

To update the earlier review, I use this thing a lot now. It doesn't grow old
and remains very fun - I'd currently rank it quite as highly as the rotring 600,
which I thought substantially better previously. Of the pencils I've owned or
used and liked, I prefer it to ohto's promecha 1500p and place it just behind my
longtime favourites, two pretty ancient faber-castells, the tk-matik and
alphamatic. 2c.

Verified Purchase
I find theses pencils (both the 0.5 and 0.7 sizes) to be excellent, as they
combine great functionality with beautiful design. Each "feature", rather than
being added on to a "base" pencil, is expressed naturally as an integrated part
of it's original design. Things, such as the ribbed grip and rounded pocket
clip, are part of the natural flow of the pencil body. In this way, it reminds
me somewhat of the MacBook Pro "unibody" design: great functionality is created
as a natural result of a unified design, making the device a pleasure to use.
Originally, I thought the thinner Platinum I pencils would suit me better, but I soon found that I actually prefer the Platinum II pencils (I have used both). The larger grip size and more refined design make it easier and more pleasurable (for me) to use. The only thing that I have yet to decide upon is which lead size and hardness I want for daily use. I like the Uni NanoDia leads and now use the 0.7-B (which is dark enough, but has a somewhat thick line). I've just ordered (but haven't yet received) a set of Uni NanoDia 0.5-B to 0.5-4B leads (from JetPens). I'm hoping that one of these will achieve a thinner, yet dark line, without too much smearing (my ultimate lead ;-). I know it's "just a pencil", but it feels more like a piece of art that you can hold in your hands, making a common-place task, like writing on paper, more enjoyable. 1 person found this helpful

difference between both decorated mechanical pencils is the fact that this not
It gives a dignified air of professionalism ( Professional as its name implies ) when one is just looking and using it.To others who purchase this instrument,The clip is detachable therefore it shares a second trait with the scribble.Once you detach the clip its really prone to rolling off your table,Do take caution. To some reviewers.There no such thing as an indestructible pencil even given the price range,even a many times more expensive car can be dented,But with care,it will aid you in your work for a long time.Given.Its an amazing experience drawing with this pencil,its an even greater experience owning it.All Aluminium.Precise.Detachable.Balance.Comfort - A 5/5 stars is the Platinum Pro-Use II Drafting Pencil. 1 person found this helpful

I was looking for a more sturdy pencil and this is it! The weight is wonderful -
the pencil almost marks the paper by itself. At first I was nervous about trying
such a chunky pencil, but I have to say it was very comfortable. The grip area
really fits your fingers, and the point is highly visible.
The other reviews really covered the rest. This is a well-made very comfortable pencil and it was worth every penny! 1 person found this helpful
