Border Security:
Key Unresolved Issues Justify Reevaluation of Border Surveillance Technology Program
GAO-06-295: Published: Feb 22, 2006. Publicly Released: Feb 22, 2006.

In September 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) established America's Shield Initiative (ASI)--a program that included a system of sensors, cameras, and databases formerly known as the Integrated Surveillance Intelligence System (ISIS)--to detect, characterize, and deter illegal breaches to the northern and southern U.S. borders. The goals of the ASI program were to address ISIS capability limitations and support the department's antiterrorism mission. In April 2005, department officials told GAO that ISIS was subsumed within ASI. By congressional mandate, GAO reviewed the program to determine (1) the operational needs that ASI was intended to address and DHS's plans for ASI, (2) the steps that DHS had taken to ensure that ASI was aligned with the department's enterprise architecture, and (3) the actions that DHS had taken to establish the capability to effectively manage ASI. In written comments, DHS agreed with a draft of this report, stating that it was factually correct in virtually all aspects. DHS also commented that it has ceased work on ASI and redirected resources to its Secure Border Initiative. It also described program management corrective actions that it plans to implement.
The ASI program defined the operational needs it expected ASI to meet, including addressing both known limitations in the ISIS and supporting counterterrorism efforts. The program also developed key planning documents for approval by the DHS Investment Review Board that were intended to meet these needs, including a program management plan, acquisition plan, and preliminary operational requirements document. However, these plans were not approved. The Review Board recently reviewed the ASI program and found, among other things, that it was aligned with the department's enterprise architecture. However, the reviews also determined that the program had not adequately defined its relationships and dependencies with other department programs. Subsequently, the DHS Deputy Secretary directed that the program be reevaluated within the department's broader border and interior enforcement strategy, now referred to as the Secure Border Initiative. The ASI program had not established the people and process capabilities required for effective program management. As of August 2005, it had filled 30 of its 47 program office positions, and it had defined roles and responsibilities for only 3 of them. In addition, while the program had defined and begun implementing a plan to manage program risks, it had not yet defined key acquisition management processes, such as effective project planning, and contract tracking and oversight. As a result, the program risked repeating the inadequate contract management oversight that led to a number of problems in deploying, and operating and maintaining ISIS technology. DHS's decision to reevaluate ASI was justified by the existence of unresolved key issues cited above (addressing its impact on other programs, and establishing people and process capabilities required for effective program management). These issues, if not addressed, would have introduced unnecessary risk. It is important that the department's reevaluation consider all such issues that could affect program success.

Senator Evans said competitors from more than 50 countries, representing 45 skills areas will compete in London, and the Global Skills Challenge will provide the Skillaroos a valuable preparation and training opportunity.
The team will be defending Australia's current fifth place ranking in London in October.

"Both these events are a great way for Australia to showcase our world-class training in a wide range of skills areas".

In the post I explained that MSE on her Toshiba laptop running XP with SP3 turned itself off. MSE has done the same thing on my desktop running XP with SP3. I like MSE very much, but I've done a lot of Googling with no success in getting MSE to turn on.
I had to return home (out of state) and didn't want to leave her unprotected. However, she needed me to do other things with her, and I wasn't able to check the forum yesterday before returning home last night. This is the first I've been on my computer and am shocked that the post is not showing. (I did see it after I posted it.)
Do I need to remove MSE before installing another antivirus program since it is turned off? MSE does not show in the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs nor in Revo Uninstaller. No one will be using the pc until September when her daughter and I will be visiting.
As always, I greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.
What version of MSE ? search 'manually uninstall security essentials.
You need to try to remove it as properly as possible it if you install another anti-virus brand for sure.
Think I would just remove MSE then reinstall it. BUT... it sounds like you both have some identical problem with it not showing up in both add/remove's.
Often times a virus will disable your anti-virus program, SCan Scan SCAN!!!! or it maybe is another program you have installed conflicts.
Have you looked around in Event Viewer .. it may tell you the problem.
Thanks, Owbist. How embarrassing! I was rushing to do a number of things for my sister and completely forgot that I changed the topic of my post to MSE error. No wonder I couldn't find it!
Thanks, Mikie, for your link to uninstall MSE manually. It's too late to power up my XP desktop to check it out. I probably won't be able to look at it until Monday. I'll use my original post for follow up postings.
Actually the post you started Fri Aug 24, 12 at 9:52 was titled, "can't leave my sister without antivirus protection" is over on the (Off Topic) Conversation side of the forum, which doesn't get that much traffic for answering posts. It's just as well that you started a new post here on this side.

Historical Traveler Reviews Royal Hotel Bath
If You Love Trains, Then This Hotel Is A Real Treasure
We booked this relaxing weekend break a couple of months ago before I read the reports on Trip Advisor and then I was filled with horror what had I done??? Well, apart from the fact this hotel is directly situated opposite the Train Station and behind the Bus Station, it really is an ideal place to stay if you are travelling via Public Transport and only a five minute walk into Central Bath. We booked the hotel and also booked a car parking space, but when we arrived late on Friday night, you've guessed it, our booked car parking space had already been taken and we had to park our car in the Station Car Park for the duration of the weekend.
Our family room was up on the third floor and there is a lift and this only holds two people, but it does save climbing the stairs. The decor in our room was very dark the walls were cranberry coloured, not only in the bedroom but the paintwork in the bathroom completed the set. There was no bath but a stand-up shower with a fixed showerhead. A nice selection of toiletries to hand in the bathroom. A warming towel rail which only got warm at the bottom. The bathroom was tiny. There were tea and coffee facilities in the room, also bottled water which we felt was a nice touch. A hairdryer was found in the wardrobe along with an iron and an ironing board. A small colour television and an alarm clock radio. We found at night that the room got very very hot and if you opened the window the noise was unbearable at two o'clock in the morning when the nightclubs emptied and the youngster wend their way back to their homes via the train station or the buses, oblivious to the fact that people lay sleeping in their beds in hotel rooms way above their heads whilst they hollered at their mates 100yds down the road.
The hotel breakfasts were plentiful. Full grilled breakfast consisted of bacon, beans, half a cooked tomato, fried egg and a hash brown. Tea and toast to complete the meal. The tea is loose leaf and not teabag. In the corner of the dining room was a large table which held other breakfast foodstuffs such as cereals, muesli, grapefruit segments, prunes, yoghurts, croissants, pain au chocolat, pieces of fresh fruit and five different fruit juices.
We had a nice weekend in Bath, but are really pleased to be home if only to have a quiet night and some decent sleep!!!
In need of a revolution
2 nights at the Royal 24-26 Nov 2006. Royal by name but unfortunately nothing Regal about it. On the plus side, it's close to the station so you can listen to the trains at night if you wish. The place is looking very tired and belies the images on the hotel website. I've only ever heard more squeaky floorboards in a cheesy horror movie. TV was tiny and very old with no sign of any type of satelite programme. The water pressure in the shower was very poor and the thermostat was almost non existant with the water ranging from hot to cold in a matter of seconds. Maybe this was intentional as a sample of Bath's 'Thermae Spa' experience. Full English breakfast on Saturday was adequate but the fried egg was burnt and crispy on the outside and runny on the inside. Selection of cereals and croissants was good though. I particularly enjoyed the muesli which had good quality oats. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast on Sunday but the salmon had a flavour of smoked haddock about it which was unusual to say the least. Overall, at �100 per night it was considered very poor value.
I booked this at the last minute, and was initially concerned that it seemed to be the only place available, however I needn't have worried. Everyone was friendly (I couldnt' work the lock out to start with but someone came & looked at it straight away!) and I had a very good night's sleep. It was very quiet - suprising for being so near the station!
Breakfast was lovely the next morning, a choice, including scrambled eggs & salmon, although I went for the full english.
Only downside was shower was very weak, however this was made up for, by the very large bath towels - something lacking in most other hotels around the world!
Friendly, convenient, good food
The location is right outside the rail station, but we had no trouble with noise, either from there or from the nearby bus station.
We had dinner in the hotel every night, and it was always excellent.
Our only criticism was that the beds were rather narrow by modern standards.
Does what it says on the box
We stayed for one night in the middle of June
Location was ideal (city centre only a 5 minute walk)
We had a 'superior' room with 4 poster which was great. Although you needed to be a mountaineer to actually get on the bed.
No air con but large floor fan was provided. management also supplied an ice cold bottle of still water when we arrived.
Breakfast was OK, would have been nice to get an extra egg/bacon in place of the mushrooms, tomatoes etc.. that I didn't want. Plenty of cereal available.
Guest bar was very nice.
Would certainly stay again.
Overpriced dump
Not impressed - although I live in the US I am from the UK and this hotel really needs to be updated. This hotel was probably a very nice place to stay in the 70's but 70's decor in 2006 come on - for the money you charge (300.00 USD per night for a family room) the hotel standard really needs to improve.
Perfectly adequate
We left it to the last minute to book a hotel in Bath and everywhere was fully booked. So it was with some trepidation when we found that this hotel still had rooms for a Saturday night. We needn't have worried as it was fine. The hotel is directly opposite the train station so it is ideal for anyone with lots of heavy luggage or someone who is planning on doing lots of trips out of town. Bath is not a huge town so it is only a short walk from the hotel to the sights.
The room was a reasonable size, nicely decorated and clean. The bathroom was large too. There was plenty of room for a bath but there was only a shower. The room was very hot and every single floorboard creaked. The wardrobe was too small for a double room too. However, on the plus side, there was a trouser press, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, TV and radio/alarm clock. There were also a sewing kit and a shoe shine sponge so a big plus on the freebies side. Our room was at the back of the hotel and noise was not a problem (or wouldn't have been if the room had not been so hot that we had to have the window open!).
The breakfast was a big disappointment. As a vegetarian, the only cooked option I had was eggs on toast cooked in various ways with baked beans. Annoying as the full English breakfast included mushrooms, hash browns and tomatoes but none of these items could be added to the eggs on toast or substituted for the beans! My gripe was made worse by only having one slice of toast on which to put my scrambled eggs! Breakfast should not be a problem if you are a meat eater though and to be fair there were cereals, fruit, yoghurts, croissants and toast available to help fill you up.
Other facilities - a restaurant, a guest only bar and a sports bar are all on site. There is a lift but it only carries 2 people.
To sum up, this hotel is perfectly OK and if the price had been a bit lower (it cost �180 for Saturday and Sunday) I would have had no complaints.
Loved the Royal Hotel!
I stayed at the Royal Hotel with a group of girlfriends last June , and we found the price (especially taking into account its central location) and staff absolutely brilliant! The rooms were large , comfortable and clean and the bar manager Gary made us welcome the minute we arrived . The only thing that caused some comment was the breakfast , where the vegetarian option seemed miserly in comparison with the full english breakfast on offer . However , this was a minor complaint in an otherwise fantastic stay . Next time we visit Bath , we'll definitely be staying at the Royal Hotel .
Great Value
We only stayed one night in this little gem, but it was great! This is not to be confused with the Royal Crescent Hotel, which is also in Bath, but is much pricier. We traveled by train from London, so had our luggage in tow. The pleasant surprise was that the Royal Hotel was directly across from the station! It's only a short walk to the Roman Baths and the city center. The rooms were small, but cosy and very clean. They are big on florals, but it's the true English atmosphere. The hotel bar was friendly and we had drinks with other guests there. I traveled with my two daughters and two nephews - college students, and even they enjoyed the stay. I'd highly recommend this little terrific hotel.
Are you a train spotter?
I stayed for a weekend in this hotel in a standard room which was adequate, if not on the small side.
Food was included, was plain but acceptable.
The hotel is next to the train and bus station, anyone who likes to sleep in the mornings will not appreciate the noise level that can be achieved by these two forms of transport first thing every morning!!
It does have the convenience of being in the heart of the city close to everything a tourist likes to see.
Very standard hotel could be a little keener priced given the noise problem.

Picture Perfect Bath
– Although we had to be out of our room by 11am, we decided to get going as soon as possible. We were only in Bath Spa for a few more hours and we wanted to make the most of our day.

We had another early morning on the cards. We were travelling to the west side of England to a little town named Bath via Stonehenge. I'd tallied up the cost of the various legs of public transport that you'd need to catch to complete the journey, plus the entrance fees to both sites, and done a comparison with joining a tour and, happily, the tour came out on top! Joining the tour would simplify the day a fair bit, not having to worry about the timing of ...

We were about to move when she came over to tell us just to buy another parking voucher and stay where we were, we were very grateful as this spot was ...

Youtube Personally I'll be keeping an eye on: Touhou : "Pang", "Touhou: Double Focus," Skylens, Kamio recoil, & Magical X Spiral. Some cute games I wouldn't try are: Touhou hoverboard racing, the comiket sim, Embyro, NonetConcertoDistortion, Kasa no naka ame. Most of these games are derivative, and even the ones that have original characters have at their root gameplay cloned from other well-known games.
The 3rd of January:
I haven't felt the urge to scanlate anything for quite a while. In fact, last year I saw less and less manga/anime, so maybe I'm growing out of my old hobbies. I guess it is normal to move on, eventually. I was into manga for so long, and I guess scanlation marked the height of that passion, but these days my mind has been far away from anything Japanese. I was too absorbed with it for so many years, that I literally became tired of looking at it.
Hard to say if this will be my retirement post, but I don't expect my energy for manga to return to the same peak as when I found it fresh. Finding free time is not the obstacle, but rather I'm less interested in consuming other peoples' fiction as I grow up. In my years here, I encountered a lot of people, had a lot of fun conversations, and enjoyed expressing myself. I'm not sure where the legend of sensualaoi will lead to, but the best stories are full of secrets, and over-exposure would ruin the fun.

Best food to grow on apartment balcony
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the best food I could grow on my apartment balcony. Space is average size, can fit a bike and small table set. Living in Ireland so would have to be foods suiting my climate.
There's a balcony gardening forum here, in case you did't know:
EDIT Oops, I see you found it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Balcony Gardening
This post was edited by writersblock on Sat, Mar 1, 14 at 22:58
You can do small/half size blueberry plants. Also small fruit trees - there are some that are sized for large pots. Also strawberries.
I'm not sure about your climate, but there are enough varieties for the different climates - you ought to be able to find ones that work for you.
@writersblock sorry yes only found the balcony gardening forum after posting here! Sorry about that am a new member.
The balcony does not get very much sun, especially during the winter but its picking up now. It's overshadowed by another building also for half of the day so only sunlight would be in the mornings. I doubt tomatoes would do well in this weather anyway, I've only ever successfully grown them inside. Blueberries is a new one I might look into that. Any more suggestions or best practice advice is very welcome thank you all. Low maintenance and high yield plants would be the most effective I'd think. I am a student with not a lot of time but a consciousness to where my food comes from.

GSA schedules: Are agencies paying too much?
Friday - 7/30/2010, 12:49pm EDT
In a column Steve Kelman recently wrote for Federal Computer Week, he discussed cost savings from procurement at the National Contract Management Association World Congress. Kelman noted that one of the participants commented that many contracting professionals in government simply accept a price appearing for a product or service on the GSA Federal Supply Schedules, assuming, based on their interpretation of the policy of the GSA schedules, that it is the "best price" (or the price given to the "most-favored customer").
Some time ago, Kelman blogged about a GAO report about how agencies, in establishing blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) off the GSA schedules, frequently did not negotiate discounts off schedule prices, as stipulated in the Federal Acquisition Regulation for quantity purchases.
Because of the urgency of obtaining procurement savings given the federal deficit, Kelman writes about how it's time for a serious dialogue within government about how the government can obtain better value from the GSA schedules.

Product description
Enough is enough! Many have struggled too long to control the symptoms of anxiety, only to find fear, shyness and worry creeping back into their lives the minute they let down their guard. The bottom line is that most efforts to "control" or "get rid of" anxiety simply don't work. But, fortunately, this book offers another option. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people facing a range of psychological problems learn to accept painful feelings without becoming overwhelmed by or submerged in them. Then it works to help them identify their values and commit to living their lives in ways that make these values come alive.This is the first workbook to offer readers a complete, ACT-based programme for dealing with any anxiety related problem. The techniques in this book are equally effective with of the different manifestations of anxiety: social and specific phobias, agoraphobia, worry and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and more. The book is divided into weeks, with clear directions and objectives for each. The light, engaging style of the authors make exploring this new approach interesting, accessible, and fun.

I have two weeping Lavender Lantana in hanging baskets (the plants are 5' long) and they are still thriving despite having several gentle frosts already. The days have been in the 50's. They are somewhat protected because they hang at the edge of an outdoor porch.
I plan to trim back the plants and bring them in for the winter. I don't want to do that prematurely if they can handle the cold outside, but I don't want to kill them either. How cold can they tolerate it? Any advice on when to bring them indoors?
They are hardy in the ground here, where our lowest temperature is listed as zero degrees. It's less risky to let them stand until spring without cutting them back, especially if your winters are wet. Hanging baskets might not make at as low as zero degrees.
They can take some frosts, however, the top will start to die when it gets below freezing. How are your night temps? I'm in 6B zone and it's going down into the 30's here, then a brief warmup in the 40's at night. When I see the leaves with a purple hue, then I use that as my last safe point to save the plants. My lantana hangs on until around Thanksgiving/early Dec., then I let it die out. Now whether the roots are still viable at that point, I can't be certain. If you want to save the plant, I wouldn't wait too much further. The poor plant will have reverse shock, from freezing cold to warm inside temps...LOL. With warmer temps these days, you may get a little more time outside with the plants, though.
The nights have been in the low 30's and even some high 20's. I've noticed some purpling on the top of the plant, but everything else looks good. The next two nights are expected to get into the high 20's again with a slight warm up, so I'll put them in the garage until the "warm up", so I can keep them outdoors as long as possible. After that, it's in the basement where it will get a trim, tiny bit of light and little water (the temps will be over 32 degrees). I figure this will simulate dormant conditions and hope for the best for the spring!!

need a low-cost microwave - under-counter - 24" cabinet
Hi folks,
Any suggestions for a low-cost microwave that would fit in a 24" cabinet installed under the counter? I'm in Canada.
I read previous threads and did some research and found these options:
* Panasonic makes a microwave and trim kit designed for 24" wide cabinet, but the total cost would be $675 - seems overpriced to me
* Sharp microwave drawer - again quite expensive
* cheaper options??
Should I believe manufacturer recommendations about required clearances around countertop microwaves? I found an LG microwave that would fit in the cavity but they want 4" clearance on all sides - that seems like a lot to me, even for on a countertop.
When you get a custom trim kit, does it have to conform with manufacturer recommended clearances?
Thanks writersblock. I looked at euro trim but they don't have any trims for readily available inexpensive microwaves that fit 24".
I am baffled that this is so complicated.
"It's incumbent on you or your designer to size the cabinet, opening and trim kit according to the specifications necessary for the micro you select."Thanks for the clarification. If that's the case, then the trim kit is purely cosmetic and I won't bother. I thought it might facilitate venting to allow smaller clearances or something.
The problem is that you have a pretty small cabinet. Most built ins have trim kits for 27" or 30" and are sized with the clearances appropriately figured into it. One of the smaller GE models might work for you for width to just sit on the shelf, but since you didn't give the height you have available, that's just conjecture.
Here is a link that might be useful: GE JES0736SPSS
Yes, it is a small cabinet and I didn't realize how hard it would be to find something with the correct dimensions. I've never been a microwave user, so that's part of my ignorance.
The height of the space is somewhat flexible - I will arrange the cabinet to fit the microwave, but I'm not sure if I can pull off more than the 24" cabinet width.
The GE JES0736SPSS is promising, but it's 18.25" wide, and GE wants 3" between microwave and sidewalls - thus requiring a width of 24.25" whereas the interior cabinet dimension is 22.5". GE also says "This appliance shall not be installed less than 36" above the floor"...not sure why?
Thanks for the help live_wire_oak.
Thanks for your input writersblock. I like the idea of "hiding" the microwave below-counter in the island because it will face in a direction that is not in any major sightlines. Counterspace is at a premium and anything on the counters is also very visible in our small open concept kitchen (especially because I won't have upper cabinets). Only the coffeepot and utensil caddy will be on the counters. That's the plan anyway :) .

Thanks also for the clarifications regarding the function of trimkits weissman and writersblock. Sounds like there is not agreement on whether actually serve a function other than "filler"? Perhaps some trim kits are functional (to facilitate venting) and others aren't?
OK, I've been looking at a manufacturer made trim kit and it seems to have three functions:
1. anti-tip bracket prevents microwave from tipping forward
2. metal thingy under the microwave is actually a DUCT that compensates for reduced airspace on the sides/top of the microwave and
3. front trim allows air flow out of cabinet opening while hiding gaps around microwave
So, that gives me a new idea. I could use any microwave that fits within the available width (22.5") - and there are many easily available options - as long as I allow adequate vent space above and below the microwave. I have more flexibility in the height dimensions than the width dimension in my kitchen design. For ABOVE venting I can simply allow enough space above the microwave. For BELOW venting I can put the microwave on a sturdy wire shelf and ensure that adequate airspace below and out is maintained. The manufacturer's airspace recommendations should be able to be addressed that way because the models I have looked at don't have side vents anyway, so it shouldn't matter if the sides are close to the cabinet sides as long at the venting is adequate above and below.
So a model like the one below should work (CAN $159). Does this make sense?
Here is a link that might be useful: LG 1.5-cu ft 1,100-Watt Countertop Microwave
weissman - any of the microwaves that you see with kits that vent out of the front can be used without those kits!
In fact, many models are identical (except for the model #) to units that sell as countertop models.
You only need provide the necessary clearances around the microwave for air flow. All those kits are doing is re -directing that flow so that a face plate can be added to "fill in" the opening created by said clearance.
It's purely cosmetic for those that like the look. The microwave will function just fine without the kit. Though , why you'd buy one with a kit and not use it is another story.
Yes feisty, those ducts do serve a purpose, but that microwave CAN function just fine without that kit. That's my point.
That kit allows for a cleaner look, or narrower cabinet, or this or that and the other - but that is purely a cosmetic choice or install requirement based on your design and a specific unit. No one says you have to use THAT unit though.
Nice execution of a DIY trim kit with ducting under the microwave:
That is looking like an attractive option.
Here is a link that might be useful: how to fake a built-in microwave
Well, that certainly looks cool, but I don't understand how putting vent slits in the box the micro stands on will help it vent. I would expect a MW installed like that to have a very short life span because of poor air circulation/lack of venting, so I'd be sure I was willing to have to keep making a new front every year or two, frankly, when you have to replace the MW with a new one that isn't the exact same dimensions.
Writersblock, I am assuming that the DIY solution imitates the manufacturer-type trim kits - where the duct passes under the microwave. In other words, I believe that the box that the microwave sits on doesn't go to the back of the cabinet interior - which would allow steam to circulate behind the microwave and down and under the box and come through the vents.

* this gets good reviews but apparently it's noisy and has a lot of beeping, which I'd like to avoid
LG 1.1 CU. FT. Counter Top Microwave - Easy One Touch Cooking
* sounds like there have been lots of lemons, but otherwise consumers are satisfied
Thanks, feisty. It's been a while since I looked at any of the specialized trim kits, but they used to sort of funnel the vented hot air. Don't they work that way anymore? The older third party kits from microtrim et al used to have slashes all over the front panel, especially at the top, to ensure sufficient ventilation, and I see they no longer do that, so maybe things have changed.
I've purchased the
WxHxD=21 7/8" x 12 19/32" x 17 7/32"
It was on sale for CAN$150 at Future Shop (with free shipping).
That will just fit in the interior width of the cabinet, which is 22.5".
I am planning a solution similar to the blogger's one that I posted above (on Apr 2, 14 at 15:22). I will mount it as high as possible for optimal ergonomics, with most venting going under the unit.

The DIY Edit Bay TreadDesk
I did this to stay healthy, but the biggest benefit has been that I no longer get sleepy when I work on my computer.
Precise operations, such as nudging tracks with a trackpad or mouse are impossible at high speeds. I may walk at 1 mph or just stand on intense projects. Right now I'm walking at 2 mph, which feels olympic when typing.

my TreadDesk
Precise operations, such as nudging tracks with a trackpad or mouse are impossible at high speeds. I may walk at 1 mph or just stand on intense projects. Right now I'm walking at 2 mph, which feels olympic when typing.
The TreadDesk sits lower to the ground than it's competition; which means I don't have to raise my standing desk to a dizzy height. It's quiet too. I appreciate it the most during over-extended phone calls with service people. If you ever feel like someone is wasting your time on the phone, the TreadDesk is the answer.
After a year with this setup, I'm still glad I have it. But I would recommend a standing desk above all. The productivity boost from sitting to standing was a larger jump than the boost from standing to walking. Plus the standing part is cheap (just cinder blocks) compared to the TreadDesk.
|Controller sits at 45º angle on desk
How to Make a Standing Desk (Diagram).
- 1) First of all, measure how high your fingers would comfortably rest on a keyboard when you are standing. Low is good, but let your palms rest too.
- 1a) Four and 3/4 inches: height of TreadDesk on the mat that ships with it.
- 1b) Your height plus 1a if you are using a TreadDesk.
- 2) Measure where you look straight forward. This should be the top of the screen. Not above it, as the picture kinda suggests.
- 3) A standard cinder block is fifteen and 1/2 inches tall
- 4) I had to use a hammer and chisel to cut larger cinder blocks in half to get an eleven and 1/2 inch rise.

Annoying Rumble rooms
Hey, do you ever notice that the pad your about to go on is pointed a different direction? like really far left and really far right? thats how you can predict that the rumpus room is about to appear, and I dont know why, but I never change my weak pokemon before I enter... that was a heck of a bad @$$ mistake. Hope this helps! :)
