text: COMMITTEE REPORT To: All Saints Vestry From: Ad Hoc Organ Committee Date: October 14, 2010 Re: Committee Recommendations Overview The Ad Hoc Organ Committee is aware that the present financial condition of the parish is not what it should be. The Committee's recommendations, which call for substantial capital expenditures, assume that the parish is restored to good financial health. We do not recommend making these investments until the present financial situation is rectified. A short summary of the Committee's work, and a statement of its recommendations, is set forth immediately below. This is followed by a Detailed Report. Copies of the material proposals and reports of consultation are available in the All Saints office. Recommendations 1. The Committee considered first the history and present condition of our present Rodgers analog organ, and reviewed the letters received from the organ technicians whom we have consulted. We also investigated the possibilities of selling the Rodgers, with its eight ranks of pipes, to another church. The Committee recommends that the present Rodgers analog organ, and its ranks of pipes, be removed and replaced as soon as a suitable replacement digital organ can be found and purchased. 2. Over a period of several months, the Committee investigated four digital organs of different makes, two used, and two to be manufactured to our specifications. The Committee received a quotation and draft purchase agreement for a Makin organ, for a purchase price of about $71,200. Of the organs the committee looked at and heard, the Committee determined that the proposal for the Makin organ, described in the Detailed Report, was in our view the best choice for All Saints. The Committee recommends that, when finances permit, All Saints contract for and purchase a Makin Westmoreland Series Model 41 organ as specified in the Makin proposal. 3. The Committee discussed and investigated the problem of the choir balcony, which extends well into the nave of the church, covering the back eight or nine rows of pews (out of a total of twenty pews). The Committee solicited and received a proposal from Nix Construction and Consulting Co. for removing the first two sections of the choir balcony overhang and remodeling the remaining balcony, for not more than $74,700. For the reasons described in the Detailed Report, the Committee determined that this is a problem important to clergy and congregants at every worship service which must be rectified when financial conditions permit. The Committee recommends that the balcony project described below, removing the first two sections of balcony over the nave and rebuilding the remainder of the choir loft for the new configuration, be done when finances permit. 4. The Committee also determined that it would save a great deal of work and money, and reduce the risk of damage in moving an organ by half, if the correction of the choir balcony overhang were done just after the old organ is removed, and before the new organ is installed in its place. The Committee recommends that the balcony project be done just after the old organ is removed, and before the new organ is installed. 5. The Committee requested and the Rector approved engaging a church acoustician to examine the present All Saints church building for its acoustic properties. The Committee received a written letter of recommendations from Terry Bird Eason Design. The Committee recommends that we do not consider any of the proposals of the acoustician except the removal of the front 16 feet of the choir balcony until after the balcony has been rebuilt and a new organ installed. It is doubtful that the Committee would recommend any of his other proposals even at a later date. * * * * * Detailed Report 1. The Present Situation. We start with two preliminary explanations: First, the present All Saints organ, a Rodgers analog organ, and our set of seven ranks of pipes with it, were purchased in 1988 by John Lawless, who subsequently donated them to the church. A rank of krumhorn pipes was added later by Nina Rodman as a gift. The pipes are now rarely used, because of a number of limitations, principally their excessively loud voicing. For technical reasons, the present set of pipes should not be used at all in connection with a new digital organ. Second, the technology. Our Rodgers is an analog electric organ, which uses technology developed fifty to seventy-five years ago. An analog organ creates a sine wave for the key that is played, and that sine wave is modified by the setting of the "stop" through which it is played and then sent to the speaker or speakers. An analog electric organ has a recognizable "electric" sound which does not sound much like the sound of a pipe organ. About fifteen or twenty years ago, organ manufacturers replaced the analog electric organ with what is called a "digital" organ. In a digital organ, there is a digital recording of an actual pipe from a pipe organ for each note in each stop. When a stop is pulled and a note is struck, the organ plays the recording of an actual pipe playing that note. In very good digital organs, it is hard to distinguish the digital sound from the sound of a pipe organ. The Committee's organ project began with a set of questions sent from the Vestry to Steven Branyon in mid-April, 2010. The Vestry asked whether All Saints would be likely to incur continually increasing maintenance costs for our Rodgers organ in the future, and whether it would gradually become more difficult and expensive to find parts for the organ, and technicians who can work on it. Steven solicited advice from several former Rodgers technicians, now independent, who have serviced our organ. The general gist of their replies was that our organ is of an obsolete technology and is wearing out. Increasing annual maintenance costs must be expected, a reliable supply of needed parts is questionable, and service will continue to be more difficult to obtain, and more expensive. In late April, the Rector appointed an Ad Hoc Organ Committee to work on this project. Marilyn Johnson retired from the Committee when she resigned from the Vestry. Paul Kopelcheck has been very ill and has not been able to participate in some of the meetings and trips of the committee. The remaining committee members are Rick Lindsey, Mark Brinkmann, Steven Branyon, Kitty Ferguson, and Pat Amer. The Committee met on May 6 to review and consider our Rodgers organ and the letters received from the organ technicians, and to begin our discussion of the alternatives. After discussion of the history and the technology of our Rodgers organ, and the likelihood of steadily increasing repair and service costs for the foreseeable future, the Committee unanimously concluded that continuing to rely on the present organ was unwise, and that the Committee should look for a good digital organ to replace it. The Committee has explored the question of disposing of the present organ and pipes. Steven advertised the present organ on various internet sites and to various other contacts of his, with no interest generated. He discussed the organ with Kenneth Yates, our former organist, who now is organist and choir director at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Savannah. The pastor of that parish and Ken Yates were very interested in purchasing the Rodgers organ console, wiring, amplifiers and speakers, which were offered to them for $3,000, as is, where is, if they also bear the full costs of removal. In addition, the pipes presently connected to our Rodgers organ were offered to them for $44,000, their initial purchase price. Their pastor was initially very interested in this package. However, he later told us that he was having trouble raising the funds to do the purchase, and the Committee has not been able to prod the pastor to commit to any purchase of anything. The disposition of the present organ, and the matter of any funds to be realized from such disposition, is at present unresolved. 2. The Organ Search. The Grace Allen. In late April, Michael Wright, rector of Grace Church, Charleston, called Rick Lindsey to tell him that he had an available organ. Grace Church has over the last three years undertaken the complete rebuilding of their pipe organ, had purchased three years ago a then used digital Allen organ (made about 1996) for services during the three-year period, and now needs to find another home for the Allen. The Committee (except for Kitty and Paul, who were unavailable) went to Charleston on May 25 to listen to the Allen organ. Steven made a very detailed technical examination of this organ. He determined that the digital sound quality was very good, as was the keyboard action. The organ was limited, however. It had effectively only thirty-nine working stops, compared to about sixty on our Rodgers, and it would require substantial upgrading to remedy this deficiency in part. The Committee liked the sound of the Allen organ, and considered it much better than our Rodgers, but determined that it would be an adequate service organ but never a recital or performance organ. The cost of this organ was never really discussed, but we understood that it would probably be available for about $25,000. The substantial upgrading and the cost of moving and installing this organ would probably bring the cost to between $40,000 and $45,000. The Committee decided to look further and see if other options were available. The Baptist Rodgers. The Committee found that there was a five-year-old Rodgers digital organ in storage in Atlanta, used briefly by a Baptist church which had subsequently converted to "praise music" and had abandoned their Rodgers. Steven went to Atlanta to make a technical examination of this organ. He reported that its technical resources were much greater than those of the Allen, and that it would need little or no upgrading, but that neither the action nor the sound were as good as the Allen. This organ was for sale at approximately $35,000, but we would also incur the moving, installing, and voicing costs. With upgrading needed for the Allen, the costs of either organ would be in the range of $40,000 to $45,000. The Angerstein. The Committee had several discussions with Daniel Angerstein, an organ technician and consultant who works from Asheville, NC and who there manufactures digital organs using Walker Organ materials and technology. (Walker organs themselves are way out of our price range.) Steven's technical advice to the Committee is that, in his judgment, Walker digital organs are a grade above Makin, and two grades better than Allen and Rodgers. Many churches with very fine pipe organs (and large music budgets) have supplemented their pipe organs with digital organ consoles and technology, to obtain greater variations of the available sounds, and to support the pipe organ where the pipe organ has limitations or weaknesses. Pipe organ builders in the United States doing so almost always use Walker digital technology and consoles to accomplish this. Two churches which have recently done this are in Savannah: St. John's Episcopal Church and the Independent Presbyterian Church (the "IPC"). Dan Angerstein was in Savannah the week of June 9, voicing the organ at the IPC. The Committee decided to hear the organs at St. John's and the IPC. Kitty and Pat (both with spouses) went to Savannah on June 9, and Rick and Mark went to Savannah on June 10, both groups accompanied by Steven. At St. John's on June 9, Steven challenged the attendant Committee members (and their spouses) to listen to various stops and try to determine whether they were pipe, digital, or mixed sounds. We took the test and established that none of us could determine by hearing the organ whether the sound was pipe or digital. Steven admitted that he had previously given himself the same test, and that he could not tell the difference between pipe and Walker digital himself. This is not true of our Rodgers, of course, nor of the Grace Allen we heard in Charleston, where their organist, after playing the Allen, fired up the Grace Church pipe organ and blew the Allen away. The observations made on June 10 by Rick and Mark were essentially similar. The June 9 Committee members adjourned to the IPC, where we met Daniel Angerstein, who was there voicing the combination pipe/digital organ. Once again we discovered that we could not tell the difference between a real pipe and the Walker digital imitation. We had a discussion with Angerstein, and then we watched him demonstrate the art of "voicing." With each note on the scale for each of seventy or eighty stops, the sound of the note can be adjusted in at least ten different parameters, and the objective of the voicer is to adjust each note so that the desired sound is present, uniform within all the notes in the stop, and balanced for the room into which the organ is played. This is true of all the organs discussed in this report. We were amazed at the difficulty and precision of the voicing task, and we are satisfied that finding a very good voicer is a major factor in making an organ sound good in all its ranges. Angerstein advised Steven that in his view the All Saints set of pipes cannot be used on a digital organ without massive modification of the organ and its voicing, and that such modifications would severely limit or prevent the digital organ itself from being voiced for the best sound. He concurred with the Committee's conclusion that All Saints should dispose of its present set of pipes along with the Rodgers organ. Angerstein proposed to the Committee that he build and install a fully digital organ for All Saints, custom built, with our sanctuary in mind, and with Walker digital technology, for about $120,000. Unfortunately, at lunch with Steven, Rick, and Mark on June 10, Angerstein announced to all that he needed to add an additional $20,000 to the price he had just quoted, because, he said, the price of the Walker technology had gone up. Steven, Rick and Mark were shocked and came to the conclusions that they could not thereafter be confident that a price quote from Angerstein would ever be firm, and that the additional $20,000 took the Angerstein proposal out of a range that All Saints could consider. The Makin. The Committee contacted the dealer for Makin digital organs in North Carolina, who covers the southeastern states from that location. Makin is a highly-regarded English organ company. There are relatively few Makin organs in the United States. The Makin dealer visited All Saints on June 8. Steven has overseen the installation of two Makin digital organs in South Carolina, one in Columbia, and the other in his mother's church. From this experience he regards the Makin as significantly superior to Allen or Rodgers organs. He is somewhat concerned by the fact that the Makin company has recently been acquired by Johannus Church Organs, a Dutch organ manufacturer of very high quality, and the degree of future timely support from the manufacturer might be difficult to predict. The Makin dealer prepared a price and a draft purchase agreement, which he submitted in late June, and resubmitted with a few changes and clarifications on September 28. After we received the first of these proposals, Steven went back to the dealer to correct and clarify the list of included stops, and that has been done, to Steven's satisfaction. The quoted price, including shipping, delivery and installation (excluding the cost of lifting the new organ into the choir loft, and mounting the front wall speakers) is $71,200. (The September 28 quotation shows the total cost as $70,776, with a number of optional items which, if chosen, would add to the purchase price. The only option we would choose is the Zimbelstern Control, which allows the organ to operate a set of bells, the Zimbelstern, which we already have installed and own. This brings the present total price to about $71,200. Price is subject to change caused by fluctuation in currency exchange rates.) This includes the three-manual console, 26 speakers and amplifiers, 78 speaker drivers, 46 digital to analog converter channels, 58 speaking stops, a ten-year parts and labor warranty, all wiring, and complete note by note tonal voicing to Steven's satisfaction. There is available in the church office a copy of the September 28 Makin quotation, which includes a description of the quoted organ and a proposed purchase contract. This price is much lower than Steven had expected. It is lower than that of an equivalent Rodgers organ, and much lower than that of an equivalent Allen organ. Steven speculates that Makin wants to penetrate the market in the southern states, and needs to have a good Makin organ in a church in our area. If the Vestry decides to purchase the Makin organ, the terms (not the price) of the purchase contract submitted by Makin will need to be substantially renegotiated to protect All Saints. (This is normal in large purchase contracts, and says nothing about Makin. It is the buyer's responsibility to set forth what protections it needs.) To complete the technical evaluation, Steven went to Columbia and Charlotte to hear, examine, and play Makin organs there which were comparable to the organ we would need for All Saints and to the organ quoted by the Makin dealer. Steven was very favorably impressed by the quality of the sound, by the range of stops, and by the precision of the action of these Makin organs. In summary, the Committee has considered these options: 1. Choose either the Grace Allen digital organ and modify and upgrade it, or choose the Baptist Rodgers digital organ, either of which would give All Saints an instrument which would be adequate for services. We would be the third owner of the Allen, twelve years old and out of warranty, or the second owner of the Rodgers, probably five years old with maybe five remaining years of warranty. This would be acceptable for church services, but neither of these organs would be of recital or concert grade. Either would sound much better than our present organ, but either would still sound like an electric organ. We could probably get ten or more years of acceptable church organ music out of either of these, and we could rely on adequate support from the respective company, but a used organ is as problematical as a used car. 2. The Angerstein proposal was considered, and it is likely that an organ produced by him would be very good, but the price range after the adjustment seems to the Committee to put it out of our range, even if the revised price should hold, which is not certain. 3. Contract for and purchase the Makin organ described in the proposed purchase agreement, after suitable negotiation of terms. The sound would be significantly superior to that of either the Allen or the Rodgers, and we would have an organ custom-built for our sanctuary, new and fully warranted. This would give All Saints an organ which would pretty closely match in sound (allowing for the differences in the naves) the organs of St. John's Episcopal and the IPC, an organ which would sound like a pipe organ to the congregation. All Saints would have and enjoy performance-quality organ music at every service, and could with confidence invite guest organists to play recitals. All Saints would probably have the best-sounding organ on the Island, notwithstanding the fact that some other churches on the Island have spent much more and gotten less. And All Saints already has an organist who will be able to use all the power and beauty of such an instrument. As the Grace Allen or the Baptist Rodgers would probably cost the church $40,000 to $45,000 by the time we got either of them installed and voiced them for our space, the step up to the Makin organ is only in the neighborhood of $25,000 above what we would have to spend to replace our Rodgers with an acceptable used organ. The Makin price is less than that of a new Allen or Rodgers digital organ of similar capabilities, and it is a superior instrument. For the additional $25,000 we get an organ which is new, fully warranted, and custom-built for our sanctuary. In the view of the Committee, the Makin organ at the price quoted by the Makin dealer offers the best "value for money" of all the organs we have looked at. The Committee recommends that, when finances permit, All Saints contract for and purchase a Makin Westmoreland Series Model 41 organ as specified in the Makin proposal. * * * * * 3. The Choir Balcony. The Committee discussed at several meetings the problem of the choir balcony, which overhangs nearly half of the nave (it presently covers eight or nine of the twenty rows of pews in the church). The problem, with which we are all familiar, is that people sitting under the balcony cannot hear the same sound as the people sitting in the open nave. They cannot participate in the service as well, because singing under the overhang gets lost under the low ceiling of the overhang, and because if the organ is played loud enough so that the people under the balcony can hear it clearly, it is too loud for the rest of the church. The choir balcony overhang affects not only the music of the worship service, but the ministry of the spoken word as well. Rick and Mark are particularly sensitive to this. The choir balcony overhang presents a worship liturgy problem as well as a music problem. And the air circulation under the overhang is poor, particularly when the church is full. As you know, visitors to All Saints mostly sit in the back half of the nave under the choir balcony, whether out of shyness or caution about watching others as to when to stand, when to kneel, and so forth. They don't know that only in the front half of the nave can one hear the music and the spoken word clearly. They breathe the stuffy air of this somewhat enclosed section. They thus get a less favorable impression of All Saints than they would otherwise enjoy, because of the relatively poor sound and circulation under the balcony overhang. All this is the result of a poor design decision made when the church was enlarged in the 1990s. The portion of the balcony which overhangs the nave is divided into three sections, as the woodwork shows. The Committee determined that if the front two sections, about sixteen feet, of the balcony were removed, the remaining overhang would be over only the last two rows of pews in the nave. If the choir loft were then rebuilt for a thus-shortened balcony, there would still be plenty of room for the choir. What would be lost is presently unused space. The removal of the front two sections of the balcony would uncover two transverse steel I-beams. If it should be structurally unfeasible to remove those beams, they could be boxed in wood and painted, and the openness of the back of the nave to the sound of the service would still be obtained. While removal of the balcony overhang would move the choir back sixteen feet, it would also mean that the congregation under the overhang would not have to listen to the footsteps of choir members as they move about in the choir loft. The choir would be closer to the back wall of the choir loft, and this might well enhance the projection of the choir singing to the sanctuary. The rector asked Nix Construction and Consulting to submit a bid to remove the front sixteen feet of the balcony and rebuild the remaining choir loft, and a bid was received for not more than $74,700. Copies of the bid are available in the church office. No other bids were solicited at this time. The Committee recommends that the balcony project, removing the first two sections of balcony over the nave and rebuilding the remainder of the choir loft for the new configuration, be done when finances permit. * * * * * 4. Integrating the Organ Project and the Balcony Project. The Committee considers that the organ project and the balcony project are two separate projects. Whether All Saints keeps its present organ or installs a new one, shortening the balcony overhang by sixteen feet will materially enhance the sound of a service, whether spoken, played, or sung, for those sitting in the back half of the nave. And whether All Saints removes the first two sections of the balcony or not, the music of church services will be immensely improved by the purchase and installation of a new organ of the best quality the parish can manage. The connection between the projects arises only because of the substantial savings which would accrue from doing both projects together. If a new organ is installed first, and the balcony remodeling deferred, we would first have to remove the old organ, rebuild the place in the balcony overhang for the new organ, and install the new organ. The new organ would then have to be removed for the balcony project, the choir section rebuilt, and the new organ reinstalled in a new and different place. This would certainly require substantial rewiring of all the amplifiers and speakers, it might require substantial revoicing of the new organ, and it would mean lifting the new organ up, lifting it down, and lifting it up again. If the balcony remodeling is done first, and the acquisition and installation of a new organ deferred, we would first have to remove the old organ, remodel the balcony, and then move the old organ back into the new balcony, rewiring and connecting all the speakers and amplifiers. Then the old organ would have to be removed again for the installation of a new organ, and the new choir section again rebuilt for the new organ space, and the balcony again dismantled for wiring all the amplifiers and speakers, and so forth. The costs of disassembling, storing, and then reassembling and rewiring an organ, and the risks of damage in subjecting either organ (and the nave) to double the number of trips on a big forklift, are very substantial. It makes great sense and would produce considerable savings if the projects were combined, so that the old organ would be removed from its present place after the new one is manufactured and ready for shipping, then the choir balcony would be partially removed and partially remodeled, and finally the new organ and its speakers would be installed and connected directly in the new choir loft. The Committee recommends that the balcony project be done just after the old organ is removed, and before the new organ is installed. * * * * * 5. The Acoustician. The Committee obtained an appraisal of the acoustic qualities of our sanctuary. Terry Byrd Eason, a Chapel Hill, NC church architect and a highly-regarded church acoustician, came to All Saints for a day in mid-July, and met with the committee the following day. Eason was favorably impressed by our space, which he styled "a beautiful worship space." His principal recommendation was to remove the front sixteen feet or so of the choir balcony, as discussed above. After that project is completed, which he thought was absolutely necessary, his remaining major recommendation was to increase the wall density of the sanctuary, which would involve installing and gluing a second layer of drywall over the existing drywall in the entire, or most of, the sanctuary. He had other recommendations which are even less likely to be implemented. Eason's report is available in the church office. The Committee recommends that we do not consider any of the proposals of the acoustician except the removal of the front 16 feet of the choir balcony until after the balcony has been rebuilt and a new organ installed. It is doubtful that the Committee would recommend any of his other proposals even at a later date. Respectfully submitted, The Ad Hoc Organ Committee Richard Lindsey Paul Kopelcheck Mark Brinkmann Kitty Ferguson Steven Branyon Patrick Amer

Youku.com, Mosaic: After-Hours Trading
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Youku.com (YOKU - Get Report) shares surged in extended trading on Tuesday after the China-based Web television company said it's reached a deal with Warner Bros. Studios to stream the film "Inception" through its Youku Premium on-demand service.
The company said the agreement gives it both online on-demand broadcast rights and online resale rights to the film. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Shares of Youku.com were last quoted at $38.67, up 8.5%, on volume of around 205,000, according to Nasdaq.com. The company is a recent entry to U.S. public markets, making its debut on Dec. 8 with the sale of almost 16 million common shares at $12.80 each, above a projected range $9-$11 per share.
Mosaic Co.
One of the most heavily traded issues in after-hours action was Mosaic Co. (MOS - Get Report), which gained ground after reporting better than expected earnings for its latest quarter.
The Plymouth, Minn.-based provider of concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients posted a profit of $1.03 billion, or $2.29 a share, for its fiscal second quarter ended on Nov. 30. These results included an after-tax gain of $570 million, or $1.28 a share, from an asset sale. On an operating basis, Mosaic said it earned $658.2 million in the latest quarter, well ahead of earnings of $200.1 million on the same basis last year, largely because of higher phosphate selling prices and increased potash volumes. Backing out the gain, Mosaic earned $1.01 per share in the latest quarter. Sales leapt to $2.67 billion in the latest quarter from $1.71 billion a year ago, and gross margins swelled to 29% from 18% last year. The average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters was for earnings of 91 cents a share on revenue of $2.42 billion in the November period. Not surprisingly, management was sounding an optimistic tone. "Mosaic is on pace for an outstanding year in fiscal 2011," said Jim Prokopanko, the company's president and CEO. He continued: "Market conditions are excellent and we are beginning calendar 2011 against a backdrop of expected record phosphate and potash demand, low producer inventories and a very lean global distribution pipeline." The stock was last quoted at $77.52, up 3.4%, with volume running above 650,000. Mosaic is coming off a strong 2010 when the shares appreciated roughly 24%, and Wall Street was in wait-and-see mode ahead of the report with 13 of the 21 analysts covering the stock at hold (11), underperform (1) or sell (1), and the median 12-month price target for the stock sitting at $75.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Its solutions give customers the ability to monitor and record business transactions in batch or real time from the point of activity in the field, right through to the host IT system.
Commenting on the new business, Cahill said 'We have launched MobileWorxs in response to the market looking for a way to significantly streamline the process of developing, deploying and administering mobile enterprise applications, whilst at the same time using GPS and navigation technologies to address the in-field productivity of mobile workers.
Mobility in the enterprise has proven ROI which we aim to exploit by helping companies to get systems designed and into evaluation in days rather than months and to give them a method of addressing multiple applications with the same mobility platform without the need to write custom code.
Cahill's expertise is further enhanced with the recruitment of Liz Wildin, also ex-Intermec, who brings a wealth of professional services skills to her role as business development and account manager for MobileWorxs.

Upgrade my PC?

Posted March 15, 2012 at 1:30AM
Hi I have 640GB of software programs installed on my PC, on a 1TB hard drive, which I like using, because I'm very keen on multitasking, and since I've increased this, my PC has started to freeze. When I go into the start task manager, virtually all the memory is being utilised in the performance tab, although my processor handles quite well. I'm feel sure the lack of memory is the causing the freezing problem. Currently I have 4GB of DDR2 800 CL4, and the Processor is an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 3200MHz.
To handle the heavier multitasking: Should I increase the DDR2 memory to 6GB, or get an upgrade, with the newer generation i5 processer, and 6GB DDR3 memory?

I am assuming that the used 640 GB on your hard-drive is not just software as unless you had a lot of games it would be very odd to have that much software that you would constantly use. You might want to move or back up your personal folders and remove program's you no longer use.
If you are only using a 32bit operating system then adding ram will not help at all. If you are going to upgrade the CPU to an i5 then you would need to upgrade your motherboard as yours is a socket 775 and an i5 is either a socket 1156 or 1155.
A move to an i5 CPU and Windows 7 64bit and 6-8GB of ram would be a decent upgrade but I have no doubt Fruit bat, will post one of his lists to hopefully speed up your PC.

Cronus he is using 64 bit on W/7 if that helps.
You could use crucial scanner and it will let you know how much more memory that you can use and supply it.

I appreciate the helpful advice from Chronus and buteman, and I realise an upgrade to a motherboard is needed for an i5 and DDR 3.
I have an ASUS Silent Square EVO, that cools the 775 CPU, but to save on costs, is it possible to adapt this cooler, or alter the brackets, to fit on a 1155.

Posted March 16, 2012 at 1:57AM
In regards to the cooler then I think that I would say no, but on the other hand I have no doubt that a mod could be be made if you were competent enough, but I think that it would be unlikely. In its day a pretty good cooler but the i5's run a lot cooler than the socket 775 CPU's that unless you were planning to over-clock the i5 the the stock cooler is more than enough.
Specs for the Asus cooler: Square Evo.

Restaurant Industry Will Grow, Outpace National Job Growth In 2013 Despite Sustained Challenges
Consumer TrendsConsumers' interest in technology continues unabated. Restaurant operators recognize that technology can enhance customer service and appeal to consumers, but they are not fully meeting consumer demand in this area yet.
At tableservice restaurants, more than half of consumers say they would use tableside electronic payment options and 44 percent would use a tableside ordering system. Nearly one-third would use mobile payment options, four in 10 would use tablet menus (such as iPads), and 50 percent would use a smartphone app for viewing menus, ordering or making reservations. Less than one in 10 tableservice restaurants currently offer these options, but 54% say they will invest more resources in customer-facing technology in 2013.
At quickservice restaurants, 44 percent of consumers say they would use self-order terminals, two in five would use smartphone apps to place orders or view menus, and more than one-quarter would use mobile payment options. Currently, less than 2 percent of quickservice restaurants offer these technologies, though 48 percent say they plan on investing more in customer-facing technology next year.
Also among the strongest consumer trends for 2013 are local sourcing and nutrition. More than seven out of 10 consumers say they are more likely to visit a restaurant that offers locally produced menu items, and more than six out of 10 said locally sourced menus are a key attribute for choosing a restaurant. Currently, a majority of tableservice restaurants offer locally sourced produce, meat or seafood, with availability being highest in the fine dining segment.
In addition, more than seven out of 10 consumers say they are trying to eat healthier at restaurants now than they did two years ago; women more so than men (75 percent vs. 66 percent). Similarly, about three-quarters of consumers say healthy menu options are an important factor when choosing a restaurant (80 percent of women vs. 71 percent of men). Restaurants are responding to this increasing demand for nutritious options, as 86 percent of consumers say that restaurants are offering a wider variety now than two years ago.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

DEFINITION of 'Student Loan Interest Deduction'
A tax deduction for interest paid on higher education loans during the tax year in the U.S., the deduction amount being the lesser of $2,500 or the actual interest paid. The student loan interest deduction can be claimed by the taxpayer if the student loan was taken out solely to pay qualified education expenses; the loan cannot be from a related person or made under a qualified employer plan.
In addition, the IRS stipulates that the student must be the taxpayer, spouse or dependent, and should be enrolled at least half-time in a degree program. Moreover, the deduction is limited by the taxpayer's income; student loan interest cannot be deducted if the taxpayer's gross income exceeds $75,000 or $150,000 if filing a joint tax return with the spouse.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Student Loan Interest Deduction'
As the student loan interest deduction is claimed as an adjustment to income, it is not necessary to itemize the deduction on Schedule A of Form 1040. The amount of interest paid in a given tax year can be found on Form 1098-E, which is furnished by the lender to the borrower.
In Canada, taxpayers can claim interest paid on student loans as a tax credit, subject to certain conditions. A Canadian taxpayer may be eligible to claim interest paid on a student loan in a given year or the preceding five years for post-secondary education, if the loan was received under the Canada Student Loans Act, the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, or similar provincial or territorial government laws.

Abseiling is a thrilling activity once simply reserved for rock climbers, spelunkers, and mountaineers who needed to get down steep inclines. Today, the rush of speeding down a dangerous cliff in a safety harness while clinging to a rope can be experienced by tourists to Thailand! Fun as that sounds, safety is a genuine concern, and as Thailand has many opportunities for abseiling, it is important to make sure that adequate safety equipment, including a helmet and proper shoes are provided and worn.
Bungee jumping is an extreme activity requiring even less ability than abseiling. Simply allow the proprietors to attach the enormous rubber band to your feet and jump from the platform, typically 165 feet (50m) above the ground. The bungee cords are designed to allow you to fall within a reasonable distance from the ground before bouncing you back into the air several times. It's an extreme rush that those daring to attempt will never forget.
This activity is most popular in Phuket, between Patong and Phuket Town, Pattaya, and Koh Samui.

The maximum spacing between receptacles, according to the National Electric Code, has been set at 12-feet since 1956--with no point along a wall being more than 6-feet from a receptacle. The logic behind that number is that an appliance with a standard length cord could then be plugged-in anywhere along the wall. The prior maximum spacing was 20-feet.
Several other standards also come into play: each wall more than 2-feet long needs a receptacle, and hallways more than 10-feet require one. Also, kitchen counters now have a more stringent standard: no point along the back of the counter can be more than 2-feet from a receptacle, and any counter more than 1-foot long requires a receptacle. These tighter standards have developed over the years in response to the increasing use of plug-in electric appliances around the home. Home electric consumption has been increasing at a rate of about 5% per year for a while now.
And, obviously, older homes have fewer receptacles. It's not uncommon to have one receptacle per bedroom in a 1940s era bungalow, and only one receptacle at the kitchen counter.
Equally important, though, are locations where an electric receptacles should not be placed:
★ Receptacles should not be placed lower than 18-inches above a garage floor. Gasoline fumes from a car parked in the garage are heavier than air, and accumulate at the floor. The slight arcing that happens when a cord is plugged-in can set off an explosion.
★ Although one receptacle should be placed near each bathroom sink, it should not be placed behind the sink, to avoid the possibility of the cord drooping into a sink full of water.
★ Receptacles directly over a baseboard electric heater are a no-no. The cord could come in contact with the top of the heater and melt.
★ A receptacle should not be flush-mounted on a horizontal surface where it may have water splashed on it, like at kitchen counter. And a floor receptacle in a dry area, like a living room, should have a special "rated" cover that protects the slots when not in use.
As electric technology has evolved over the years, so have receptacles. GFCI-protected receptacles are now required in wet areas, for personal shock protection. AFCI-protected receptacles, which recognize arcing in the circuit for fire protection, have also been phased into the code requirements. And receptacles that only open to allow standard cord prongs (and not any metal object that a curious child may try to stick into it) are the latest improvement.

Here are the Mesh Rules:
1) Before buying any Mesh product verify that your PC and Viewer can see mesh objects properly. Always get the demo of the product 1st and no impulse buying.
[Note: Just because you can see the end result on the picture the creator displays their wares on, doesn't mean you can See Mesh in-world. Yes I had to explain this to someone!]
2) If you find the Mesh Product works for you, Feel free to buy it. Do realize that many people in SL will never see your Mesh outfit or product properly. So if headed to a public gathering where the looks of your outfit are important, do this with this knowledge.
3) Start at rule 1 again until Mesh is accepted by all the SL community.
If the Mesh object is visible but doesn't fit as you like [even after trying on all sizes] and you don't want to mod your avatar size to match the size chart included with some Mesh outfits. Walk away and get another outfit.
I have a few mesh outfits I very much enjoy, ,but I don't wear them to my DJ gigs or out dancing ... Yet!
OK - Other possibilities, clear out that cache, the rendered Mesh items may be slightly borked in it.
Also, you can manually set a Mesh Resolution setting to help in your Mesh rendering..Looking it up now and will post below once found:
Yea found it from http://slofdreams.blogspot.com/2012/03/important-t
Here is the magic:
If you have trouble seeing your mesh items follow this advice from Tymmerie Thorne
If your mesh items disappear, try this:
- Go to Advanced>Show Debug Settings
- Type or paste MeshMaxConcurrentRequest into the dialog box that appears.
- Set MeshMaxConcurrentRequest to between 75 - 100.
- Close the dialog box.
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I'm possible" !

The secret to their success and their particularly memorable and refined characteristics is the fact that Bordeaux red wines are made from a blend of grape varietals, most commonly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, helped by a touch of Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The other two key Bordeaux grape varietals which are also used in the blend of many of these excellent wines are Malbec and Carménere, although it is becoming less common to see these in use today. The art of blending primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals is something which has been much imitated around the world, as it produces a wonderfully balanced, rounded yet massively complex and flavorful wine, ideal for oak aging The acid and tannin levels in each of these grape varietals is balanced and tempered by the blend, and generations of expertise has gone into the careful selection and cultivation of such quality grapes.
The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
The beautiful sub-region of Saint Emilion in France's legendary Bordeaux region is regarded as the home of many of the world's finest red wines. The blending techniques employed in Saint Emilion have been passed down for generations, and aim to express the very finest flavors of the grape varietals used, most commonly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The climatic conditions in Saint Emilion are perfect for growing many of the Bordeaux grapes, and high yields of exceptional quality are commonplace. Fed by the mighty Gironde river and benefiting from superb clay and gravel based soils, Saint Emilion produces millions of bottles of high quality blended and unblended red wines each year, and continues to be a firm favorite of wine experts and the general public alike.

During the party they were accommodating and extremely helpful. The venue itself was magnificent and really went with the theme if the night. I can't rate thus venue enough.

I was 7 months pregnant and jogging to the corner store to get a snack. A man on the street said: "Damn girl, you in shape."
I ignored him and kept jogging.
"You pregnant?" he asked.
I responded, "Yup!" mainly because I thought that once he realized I was pregnant, he might leave me alone.
"Is this your first baby?" he asked.
I said, "Yup!"
"Want to have another one later?"

WoodWing Enterprise 6 adds Content Station
updated 10:40 am EST, Tue February 3, 2009
WoodWing Enterprise 6
WoodWing has begun distributing Enterprise 6, an update to its signature publishing platform. The software links InDesign, InCopy and web-based content management systems, as well as a variety of other applications. New to the sixth edition is the Content Station, which lets users pull material from third-party sources such as DAM and wire systems in order to build content packages. The app reduces the need to leave Enterprise, and additionally includes an XML editor for creating digital-only output.
The platform has additionally gained a new versioning system, and integration with the Drupal web-based content management system, to which users can upload material directly and from which people can gather ratings, page views and comments. The new Smart Image plug-in automates the importing of XMP metadata from images into text frames, and InDesign files can now be saved as reusable Layout Modules with separate workflows. Companies must contact WoodWing for pricing information, though relevant plug-ins can be tested free for 30 days.

Google Voice, once a very promising voice over IP (VoIP) service with lots of potential and nowhere to go but up, has languished untapped and unmaintained for years. It seems that today — and apparently thanks to Google's focus on the Google+ social network — Google Voice is finally being revisited and possibly even revived from its years in slumber as Google explores the integration of voice calls into its Google+ Hangouts feature.
Google Voice, originally known as GrandCentral, was first created in 2005 and existed as a standalone VoIP solution until 2009, when GrandCentral was purchased by Google. The takeover by Google was short and sad: GrandCentral was rebranded Google Voice and launched with much hoopla and fanfare, even debuting on NBC's Today Show on June 25, 2009. From there, the only changes GrandCentral saw as it was turned into Google Voice was a name change and constant reduction in features, remaining yet another awkward step-child in the ever-growing portfolio of startups Google purchased and could not decide what to do with.

We are a hippy-happy family from Barcelona with two kids. We'll be glad to have you around in our loft in St. Pere - Sta. Caterina's district, at a 5min walk from glamourous Born.
Xavi has completed online and offline ID verification.
Merci à xavi, beau loft correspondant aux photos, très belle emplacement... en plein centre ville, calme et proche de la mer et en tout les sites touristiques! Merci
We felt most welcome in Xavi's apartment. The space had been designed with children in mind and our son was in seventh heaven with a little table, a little bed, and new toys to explore. We were thrilled with the location of the apartment and all the offbeat, authentic details inside, particularly the large ancient doors leading to the balcony. The street below has become pedestrian-only and they were laying cobbles during our visit which was no problem at all and will certainly be charming and accessible for future guests. We were happy that we could walk to nearly everything we wanted to see, Barcelona as a city is a lot larger than we'd anticipated. We couldn't have been happier with this apartment!
The Loft was great. It was as described by Xavi and was also great to meet his wife. Xavi provided detailed information on the loft which helped our stay. This loft is perfect for adventure travelers, it is well located, has the amenities needed to travel and the loft has a lot of personality. If you are looking for a loft that is just like a hotel though there are a few quirks that we didn't find an issue with but we adapted to. For example, we were in Bareclona in late December so the loft was a bit cool for our preference but easy to overcome, additionally the hot water is limited so meant showering at separate times. Very easy to overcome but could be a challenge for more fickle travelers which may be why there is some variation in other reviews given for the loft.
Nice loft located in a convenient area of the city, close to the Born trendy neighborhood, near the Old Gotic town and 5 minutes walk from the main shopping area. The place has a big living room and a full-equipped kitchen. Lot of light, big windows and clean bathroom.
We had a wonderful stay at Xavi and Adriana's. Perfectly located, within walking distance from pretty much everything, their flat is as beautiful and cozy as it appears in the pictures. We didn't use the kitchen since we only spent a week-end there, yet there is everything you need to cook. Also, the double bed is extremely comfortable and - last but not least - the shower had good water pressure (not always a given!). We definitely recommend this place.
Xavi has nice, mostly clean place in a great neighbourhood. With some effort this could be a hidden air bnb gem. However, there are some basic problems that need addressing in the meantime. First off, for some reason Xavi was sketchy about giving me the address, insisting I'd find it in the arrival document he'd emailed to me. Turns out it wasn't. His cleaner (non-english speaking) was due to let me in but, following a half-hour delay to my journey to the apartment, and after trying Xavi's cell repeatedly and unsuccessfully, she was unable to give me the address over the phone and she eventually vacated the apartment. This led to two and a half lost hours as I kept trying Xavi's cell, (Xavi got in touch via email, eventually) to arrange key pick-up (from the house of one of his cleaner's clients). The arrival document mentioned a blocked plug hole in the bath, which duly half-filled the bath and spewed up hairballs when the shower was on. Any potential customers might also want to check if the deafeningly loud roadworks are still happening on the apartment's street, as these are directly below the window of the apartment and start at 9AM. I say you should check, because Xavi did not offer this information, rather leaving it a surprise. These things left me quite unimpressed. Oh, and it turns out the information in the arrival document is out of date anyway. Plus points would be: the location; super close to arc de triomf metro station, in a really good neighbourhood; shower aside it's a comfortable space to spend time in and, if you were staying for a longer period (I was there for two nights), there seem to be plenty of facilities to self-cater.
Ben, I have little to say to defend myself. I have no other option to accept all your complaints and apologize for them. Having said this, I would truly wish to explain myself all the different mistakes I did which unfortunately, occurred during your stay: 1) I am reluctant to give the exact address through email for security reasons. I am convinced that in the billing receipt you have it clearly. I'm sorry to have confused you believing the address was in the pdf file I sent you. No other guest had ever had such a problem. I will definitely pay more attention to it. 2) You arrived more than 1hr later that day.. unfortunately, I had to rush to attend a course and I was unreachable until later. I should have remarked -and predicted in advance- it was going to be difficult to contact me afterwards. 3) Regarding the bath. The place is left perfectly clean to you for what.. it is one's duty to remove one's own hairballs. Regarding the drain, true it is not fantastic however, I must say no previous user had complaint (the problem mentioned in the pdf was presently solved). I take special care on it and do always insist in letting me know if anything happens. 4) The roadworks.. I'm sorry. It was really a surprise for me as well that they worked on a Saturday morning (I am currently jobless and spent much of time looking for a job not visiting the place as often as it should). I went there after you left and now I now that in a couple of weeks all the noise will be over. I was unaware of the dimensions of the problem. I am currently -from last week onwards- advicing potential users of this nuisance. As you say.. it could have been perfect, but it wasn't. I'm sorry for this, for what I would like to ammend all the inconveniences this may have caused you by offering you either a compensation or a free stay in our place if you ever come back again swearing you the experience will be as good you would have wished this time. I hope my previous reviews -the guest before you, stayed for a week eventless-, will convince you this is possible. I will do my best to turn my listing into an airbnb gem, as you point out... (unfortunately, I have learnt from your bad experience..) Hope I can ammend this, sorry again for all the inconveniences this may had caused you and hope to find you again in the future.
Xavis apartment is incredible! I love love the loft and decor. The location is great. If you haven't stay in El Born, you absolutely should! Amazing shops, bars and restaurants within steps. I love the open air feel of this loft and hope to stay there again soon! Thanks!
A amazing appartment, where you feel all the love that Xavi and his wife put in in the loft and in every little Detail which makes it so special! Xavi was a great Host, he wasn't there to give us the keys but he organized everything perfectly, the house Cleaner (who is a charming and very friendly Woman called Magaly) opened the door for us an Xavi did the whole house-instruction through the phone. The Area where the appartment is at is El Born which is my favorite part of the city!! The Loft is right in the middle of El Born but still not loud in the evenings and even if there is some noise on the street the wooden doors to the balkony are thick enough to keep it out.. I definitely gonna come back if I ever have the chance to come back to the beautiful City Barcelona... Hasta Pronto Leonie
We had a wonderful time in Xavi's charming loft. It was clean and had all that we needed. Very enjoyable and great location!
