A new garden, and a new garden helper.
Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I've been on here. There have been a lot of changes in my life, but none as positive as my brother making it home from his deployment to Afghanistan.
I have talked a few times about how my parents and I unfortunately didn't share the same passion for gardening as I did, and so I ended up moving all of my roses to a friend's. He gets free landscaping, and I get to grow as I please. Everything is doing fantastic and growing by leaps and bounds.
I also recently got a new puppy, a German shepherd dog. His name is Vilkas! He doesn't seem to mind the roses, but learned pretty quick that rose thorns and soft puppy noses make for a bad time outside. Lol.
Love the puppy! And am so glad to hear that your roses have a new home where you can garden - your friend gets the free landscaping and gardening, and you get a place to play with your roses!
You might see if your brother is interested in helping you once in a while - they say that gardening is stress reducing and good for everything - can't hurt.
Please keep telling us on here how you and your roses are doing - and we would like some pics of the roses' new home./
I love German Shepherds although I've never owned one myself. My son has one though, and she's been a great dog (she is now going on 9 years old and I think of her as the wise old lady.) You have a very handsome pup!
Glad to hear you've found a way to grow your roses with less stress. It was probably a lot of work moving them, but now you can really create the rose garden you wanted. Good for you.
And wonderful that your brother is home. May I echo Vettin by also saying thank you to him?
Vilkas is an adorable pup and will be a wonderful friend to you. He already has a certain gravitas befitting his working breed status.
It sounds as though your roses are doing wonderfully well. I'm happy you didn't have to give them up and that they're housed where they'll be appreciated.
Thank you everyone for the support! I've passed along your thanks to my brother, who was very appreciative of the gratefulness. My brother actually lives in Europe, so I'm afraid he can't help out all that often at the new place. But I did encourage him to go commune with nature for some peace and quiet. He seemed to like the idea.
Vilkas is a handful already! He's incredibly intelligent though and a fast learner. I'm excited to see how him and I will grow together. I'm starting on his training this week, and if all goes well he'll start to learn how to track by the end of June.
As soon as the lawn is mowed and everything is trimmed up I'll throw some pictures up here! The spring flush was nothing this year, since not much has been in the ground long enough to so much of anything. It's all growing happily though so I can't complain!
Josh, I'd like to join the chorus & send my best wishes to your brother. How wonderful that he's back home.
Your puppy is beautiful & I hope he learns how to coexist with your roses. They'll just have to get along. Best of luck to your roses in their new home. I hope they continue to do well.
Josh, a big welcome to your brother! I'm so glad you found a home for your roses and am looking forward to photos of your well traveled flora. Congratulations on the new gardening apprentice. Who needs a rototiller when a German shepherd is on the scene? My Samoyed was a champion bulldozer and backhoe, especially in freshly planted beds of fragile rarities. :-) Carol
Teaching your puppy "to track": Do you mean people (in emergency situations), animals (hunting), things (contraband) or other? Also I forgot to congratulate you and your brother on his safe return. Our son has returned safely too. I get in the habit of not talking about it for their safety's sake and so may not talk about it when I should.
Congratulations on your good news! What a lovely pup!
And I bet you also got rain--we did--hooray! A great compensation for losing so many baby roses this winter & for such a middlin' spring flush. My roses are already putting out new shoots. It's amazing how superior a decent rain is compared to even very generous hose watering.
Tracking people, actually. I'm starting with trackin training, and if he proves adept enough at that then I'll consider finishing out his SchutHund training. And a thank you from my family to yours for everything your son did, and for your family's support of our soldiers.
So far he has minded his manners around the roses! I'm curious to see if that will be the case though whenever the beds are filled in with such tempting digging materials as fresh loamy soil!
Please add my good wishes for your new garden and especially thank your brother for his service.----Love your puppy-----when my children were young we had a wonderful German Shepherd------He was very protective of my little ones---a great dog
Good luck with your new garden

Astronomers are watching the horrifying destruction of an entire galaxy occurring about 200 million light-years away. The fate of this galaxy could be shared by ours in the ages to come.

Keywords: ESO 137-001, galaxy, great attractor, abell, cluster, death, pictures
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - It is understood that stars die and destroy their planets. Likewise, stars themselves are sometimes destroyed by black holes if they happen to come near one. However, the destruction of an entire galaxy, ripped apart by an incredible gravitational force is an exceptionally rare occurrence.
The scale is nearly unprecedented. While astronomers have witnessed the destruction of stars, the destruction of galaxies is rare. Even when galaxies collide, as they sometimes do, they are not destroyed. However, in the case of galaxy ESO 137-001, gravity is literally shredding the galaxy before our eyes.
St. Dominic de Guzman, patron saint of astronomers.
ESO 137-001 is located in the southern constellation of Triangulum Australe, and it lies in the heart of a cluster of galaxies known as the Norma Cluster. The Norma Cluster is passing near galaxy cluster Abel 3627. Astronomers believe this is the immediate cause of the galaxy's destruction. As the two clusters come together, the larger cluster, Abell, is shredding the closest outside galaxy, which happens to be ESO 137-001.
Our Milky Way Galaxy is similar, in that it too resides in a cluster, known as the Local Group. And there's another frightening thing our galaxy cluster shares with the others -- both our Local Group, the Norma Cluster, and Abell 3627 are being pulled into the maw of the Great Attractor.
The what?
The Great Attractor is eerily described as "a gravitational anomaly" by astronomers. We don't know what it is because we cannot see the region of space it occupies as stars and dust in the Milky Way Galaxy obscure our view. However, we know it is there because all of the galaxies in that region of space as moving towards it. There is no question that something is pulling everything in our region of space towards itself.
Astronomers speculate that it may be a massive galaxy cluster, which we are simply unable to see. Whatever it is, it's pulling entire galaxy clusters towards itself and as those clusters get closer to one another in space, they interact gravitationally.
In this case, ESO 137-001 is being pulled apart by Abell 3627 while everything in that region of space is pulled closer to the Great Attractor.
Images captured with the Hubble Space Telescope show streamers of gas, glowing blue, and in X-rays, heated to a temperature of about 180 million degrees Fahrenheit. These streamers of gas are literally the guts of the victim galaxy being pulled away and towards the Abell cluster. That gas is literally the lifeblood of the galaxy.
Without that gas, the galaxy cannot form new stars and without new stars, the galaxy will eventually die within several billion years or less.
In this composite image from NASA, you can see the gas streaming across tens of thousands of light years away from ESO 137-001. That gas is the literal lifeblood of the galaxy.

Just returned from an unbelievably glorious week
Unbelievably wonderful! Accommodations were perfect...more than I imagined. Away from the hustle bustle of life....no commercialism...Zona is terrific in making our stay perfect. Definitely will return!!
Start relaxing... you're on South Andros.
South Andros... forget your daily worries, no stress here. We stayed at Greg's place for 5 days. It is located a few hundred meters from the airport. Greg will pick you up by bike... :-) He will stay in the cottage next to yours and is always available for questions or anything that might come up. Great guy! Mind you that South Andros is not a tourist destination, but rather a peaceful and quiet destination with no stress. Rent a car, the Island is too big. There are no ATM's. Just one bank where you would be able to retrieve some cash, but better to bring some. The few grocery shops carry a limited amount of items. We found one shop though that was well stocked and worth the drive (20-30 minutes). It's called Seaville Foodstore (closed on Saturdays) in Kemps Bay. You cannot get lost on South Andros, theres just one road. Things to do: 1. Snorklers: blue holes at Mars Bay (perfect round blue hole - no fish; visit at low tide) and the 2 blue holes just North of Kemps Bay (lots of fish!!). 2. Scuba: inland blue holes, "Coral garden". 4. Hiking: blue hole trail. 3. We liked the food at Skipper's bar (just North of Kemps Bay). Get conch in as many possible ways as you can (fried, salad, etc). South Andros... glad we've been.

I envy you Americans and your whole living on-campus thing.
I have often heard that it contributes to your great sense of independent spirit. *plays some patriotic music*
And how is this over where you live? (Truly interested to know)
Down here we don't really live on campus (mostly athletes I think), but we rent apartments and houses near the University campus.
In major cities in Canada most people go to university/college locally and commute from home, whereas I hear that most Americans go out of state.
While there is student housing available the majority of students live in the suburbs and commute to the universities.
This is also why many students still live at home, like for instance myself!
After an extremely terrible week, I just finished a very loose mini-review of the MOE Audio SS01 (it's the JVC FXT90, but different).
It's probably the most careless review I've written in a while, but one of the most satisfying as well:
Got a loaner S-EM6 for a while. I agree on your take Muppet, they present things in a non aggressive yet musical and detailed way. Not sure they are as good as the SE5 to my ears, but still good.
Anyone a fan of Jose James? I like his music, but he seems to be better live (something about his sonorous voice fits the live environment better than the recording booth, where it becomes too dense and thick, and lacking dynamic dimension), so I listen to his stuff on YouTube more than CD...
You want to just try it out? Send me a PM and I'll shoot it over to you some time. I didn't get to compare it directly, but I don't remember the FXT90 impressing me as much as the SS01, and my standards have risen since then as well.

I'm trying to improve the performance of my site. If I replace the domain names of static resources such as images, styles, etc. with corresponding IP address, would I gain performance improvement? If so, are there any down sides to this approach?
You'd gain a small improvement in first time DNS lookup performance but you lose the flexibility that DNS provides: change a host IP without having to change all of the static references to the host, DNS based load balancing, etc. A well designed CDN strategy will serve you much better. Work on balancing concurrent request vs DNS lookups, depending on the number of static resources per page, that'll be between two and four DNS hostnames.
If you find that DNS is causing real delays for actual users in the field, you should change your DNS provider.
Your authoritative DNS provider should at least be using anycast to serve the requests from the same contintent as the end-user.
Don't even think about running authoritative DNS in-house. Outsource it every time (NB: Run your own resolvers for your infrastructure, if that makes sense; users' browsers won't be using those).

How 'carefree' is Carefree Wonder?
LamKinsJanuary 10, 2005
I'm just wondering if anyone in the hot/humid south grows this rose and just how carefree it truly is? I fell madly in love with it last week.
All I ever do for my roses is fertilize with manure and will spray with a weak vinegar/water solution. I used this solution last year and was very pleased with the results...it stopped blackspot and powdery mildew dead in it's tracks. My point is would this rose do ok with this regimen?
Any feedback on this rose appreciated including how much sun it's in.

Coritookus village
I am finding ingredients for the snow resort activity "help a friend". I am on stage 2 and i don t know where in the coritookus village... Can you give me specific indications? Thanks xoxo
Answer from: Phosphora
If you have played the make a snowman game, then you go on the path she is on and you are on coritookus village, just go up even more past the village and at some point you will find a solitary house, the scientist should be around there. If you don't see him just stay on the path and just keep on going. He should be on the right side

Sucks about your heli probs P4ddy, hope u sort them soon. Tail prob on the logo sounds strange, post on the Mikardo forum on HF and ask for help, list as much detail as you know, the guys there really know the logo's inside out.
Nice one Clicky, LoL .... + Didin't know you had so many 450 helis.
Man i just cant say enough good things about the little MSR heli, man i love it, had over 40 flights already and not only am i NOT getting board of it but i'm liking it even more as time goes by.
Funny, after flying the logo mostly for the last few months my 450 was looking so small at the field, before take off i'd be like man she looks tiny, now after flying the msr so much & not flying the logo at all, now when i fly the 450 i'm thinking it looks huge .
And i just got the logo out to do final bits & checks ready for tomorrow (when tail blades & lipo arrive) and man it looks crazy big now, i hope i dont get scared of it again, LoL.
|Sep 20, 2009, 06:59 PM
We went to the big field on the river even though it was raining when we left. I got to fly my Logo 3 packs, the trex 600n a tank, Beam twice and Trex 450 once. The wind layed down nicely at 5pm and we whipped out the mSR's for 5 or 6 packs and I flew my Ember 2 plane for about 30 minutes. My buddy flew the big stick but I didnt fly it..
It is getting dark eariler already. It is going to suck when daylight savings kicks in or out...when the clock gets rolled back
|Sep 20, 2009, 07:28 PM
Well I just got back in and lost my heli! The same dam tree that has taken both of my boys kites just took my heli. I turned it around and started back when the wind took it right into the tree.
Now there is no wind at all and it seems to be stuck.

I have MT (450), HK-450 with MT plastic head (will need to slowly upgrade it to metal as I started having tracking problems in inverted - lol), HK-450 that is not equipped with electronics (yet) and Walkera 22E with custom tail boom, bigger blades (288mm) and Walkera 60 metal head, HXT servos, etc... This last one has flown nicely twice but I've burned tail ESC accidentally and since struggling to find good one again. And, ah, on it's last flight motor's shaft got cut below gear.
There is, though, two missing: 250 size and 600 size helis!
|Sep 21, 2009, 10:34 AM
Yep i flew today. I flew the Airwolf again . I put 4 packs through it & one very brief flight on the other hovering low inverted. I'm totally loving the windless days we have at the minute & all i keep flying is my Airwolf to make the most of it. I've NEVER been able to fly it for 3 days in a row before because of wind. I hope it's like it again tomorow. The only down side is there is still cloud & i NEED them Nimbus shades so i can fly high for the whole pack. I get paid on the 25th so i'll order some then.
Clicky, i know exactly what move you done, it's basic but looks good eh. Just need to do a 540 piro & not a 180 to make it better. Was you starting to relax a bit more with your nose in flips?? I've yet to try them but if you can do them then so can i . That's what made me do the inverted pie dish last week, because Technex could do it for real before me & i wasn't having that
ShuNut, I've just spoke to the guys at CSM & they said send it in & they'll test the gyro for me & also they'll test the 8900G for me aswell. This will at least eliminate a gyro/tail servo fault for the price of postage. It means no Logo for at least a week.

Anyway 540 then! Cool. Thanks! Will try them. They're still sloppy (as most of my flying but a few came out pretty nicely).
Nose in flips - hm - not entirely good - I start on the left of the field and finish on the right side (no - it was not the wind - I moved to the wind - LOL). But with those as well - I managed couple (of maybe 10-ish) to look like ShuNuts (although much higher than his)...
But - yesterday as good day and I've used it to the full!

Predictions for Olympic prelims
Examining projections and key matchups for every Olympic team
Team Previews: USA | Canada | Russia | Sweden
Finland | Czech Republic | Slovakia | The rest
The preliminary round at the Sochi Olympics features three groups of four teams that will play each other once. The team with the best record from each group, as well as the top second-place team, will earn a bye into the medal round. The eight remaining teams will be reseeded and play single-elimination matches to determine the rest of the medal-round bracket.
The groups are split evenly, each with medal contenders as well as teams just hoping to stay competitive. We projected all the teams based on Hockey Prospectus' goals versus threshold (GVT) metric to determine where they'd finish. But what are the toughest matchups for the top teams in the opening round? Which games have the potential for an upset?
Let's have a look:
Group A
GVT projection: Fourth
Key matchup: Slovakia, Feb. 16
The Russians have an incredibly talented top six, which features the NHL's top goal scorer, Alex Ovechkin, and a supporting cast of elite forwards, including Pavel Datsyuk, Evgeni Malkin and Ilya Kovalchuk. The home club, however, will not have a cakewalk to the playoff round. In 2010, Slovakia shocked Sweden in the most stunning upset of the tournament.
Against Slovakia, Russia's scorers will match up with a strong defense and several solid two-way forwards in Marian Hossa, Tomas Kopecky and up-and-comer Tomas Tatar. Even so, the Russians' scoring depth and goaltending is likely too much. Plus, two Slovak players who might have evened the playing field -- Marian Gaborik and Lubomir Visnovsky -- will sit out with injuries.
United States
GVT projection: Second
Key matchup: Russia, Feb. 15

Hurry! Blue Bell Bazaar just posted some fabulous flea market finds in her etsy store that you'll want to scoop up quickly since she usually sells out fast.

Anthropologie has done it again. This season, they are dazzling me with this botancial beauty, the Josef Frank wingback. Mmmm.
I'm also a big fan of the Glass Menagerie glassware (they strangely remind me of Inke silhouettes) and this funky macrame-inspired jute doormat. It looks like something my mother would have owned back in the 70's because she loved to macrame.
Although the chair is out of my league (it's $2,500-), the price somewhat makes sense because Josef's textiles are expensive off the bolt, I imagine half the expense of this chair is based on the fabric alone. I suggest purchasing the fabric alone from Svenskt Tenn (online, based in Sweden) and use it for smallish projects – cover a bench, seat, a fabric blind, etc. The linen shown on the chair above, Gr?na f?glar (does that mean green bird?), is $171- USD per meter. With tax and shipping to the states, one meter will cost you (gulp) around $338.00 USD. (Use this handy currency coverter as you're shopping their site.) The prices shown are in Swedish Kroners. Maybe you can go in with a friend or two on a purchase and split the expense?

Auction 96 H Block Reconsideration Order
Download OptionsReleased: November 27, 2013
Federal Communications Commission
Before the
Federal Communications Commission
Washington, D.C. 20554
In the Matter of
NTCH, Inc.
AU Docket No. 13-178
Petition for Reconsideration of Public Notice
Announcing Procedures and Reserve Price for
Auction of H Block Licenses (Auction 96)
Adopted: November 27, 2013
November 27, 2013
By the Chief, Auctions and Spectrum Access Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
In this Order, we deny a petition for reconsideration filed by NTCH, Inc. ("NTCH").1
NTCH asks us to reconsider certain procedures adopted for use in the upcoming auction of licenses in the
1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz bands ("H Block"), which is designated as Auction 96.2
explained below, NTCH's Petition fails to satisfy the applicable reconsideration standard and fails to
show that reconsideration is warranted.
The Commission is offering H Block licenses in Auction 96 pursuant to, inter alia, the
Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 ("Spectrum Act").3 The Spectrum Act requires,
among other things, that the Commission allocate for commercial use and license spectrum in the
H Block using a system of competitive bidding no later than February 23, 2015.4 The Spectrum Act
1 Petition for Reconsideration of NTCH, Inc., AU Docket No. 13-178 (filed Oct. 18, 2013) ("NTCH Petition").
2 Auction of H Block Licenses in the 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz Bands Scheduled for January 14, 2014;
Notice and Filing Requirements, Minimum Opening Bids, Upfront Payments, and other Procedures for Auction 96,
AU Docket No. 13-178, Public Notice, DA 13-1885 (WTB 2013) ("Auction 96 Procedures PN"). A summary of
this public notice was published at 78 Fed. Reg. 65982 (Nov. 4, 2013).
3 See Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Pub. L. No. 112-96, 126 Stat. 156 (2012) ("Spectrum
4 Spectrum Act § 6401(b), 47 U.S.C. § 1451(b). The Commission concluded in the H Block Report and Order that
both blocks of the H Block spectrum are already allocated for non-Federal Fixed and Mobile use on a primary basis,
with their present spectrum pairing, and that no further action to allocate the frequencies in the H Block bands for
commercial use is necessary to meet the Spectrum Act's allocation requirements. See Service Rules for Advanced
Wireless Services H Block – Implementing Section 6401 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Jobs Creation Act of

and Order, Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Second Memorandum Opinion and Order, 18 FCC Rcd 2223,
2238 ¶ 28 (2003); Amendment of Part 2 of the Commission's Rules to Allocate Spectrum Below 3 GHz for Mobile
Federal Communications Commission
specifically directs that proceeds from an auction of H Block spectrum be deposited into the Public Safety
Trust Fund and be used for, among other things, funding (or reimbursement to the U.S. Treasury for the
funding) of the nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network by the First Responder
Network Authority (FirstNet).5
On July 15, 2013, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau ("Bureau") released the
Auction 96 Comment PN announcing Auction 96 and seeking comment on procedures for conducting the
auction.6 The Auction 96 Comment PN proposed to set a reserve price and sought comment on what
factors should be considered in determining the reserve amount and whether the reserve price should be
disclosed, asking commenters to describe in detail the specific factors that informed their conclusions.7
In response to the Auction 96 Comment PN, interested parties submitted 23 topical filings
in the form of comments, reply comments, and/or ex parte letters. NTCH was not among the parties that
made filings. On September 9, 2013, DISH Network Corporation (DISH) filed an ex parte submission
supporting the Auction 96 Comment PN's proposal to set a reserve price. DISH suggested that the H
Block spectrum should be valued at "at least $0.50 per megahertz of bandwidth per population ('MHz-
pop') on a nationwide aggregate basis," noting that the 2006 AWS-1 spectrum auction had resulted in an
average valuation of $0.54 per MHz-pop, that recent secondary market purchases of AWS spectrum had
valued it between $0.61 and $0.69 per MHz-pop, and that financial institutions give current estimates of
the value of the H Block spectrum at between $0.62 and $1.00 per MHz-pop.8
On September 9, 2013, DISH also filed a Petition for Waiver and Request for Extension
of Time of certain Commission rules for terrestrial use of the 2000-2020 MHz and 2180-2200 MHz band
spectrum ("AWS-4 band"), which has since been placed in its own docket.9
The DISH Petition seeks
waiver of certain technical requirements to provide AWS-4 Licensees with the operational flexibility to
use the lower AWS-4 block, 2000-2020 MHz, currently designated as an uplink band, for either uplink or
downlink operations.10
In addition, DISH requests an extension of the final build-out requirement for

10 Pursuant to sections 1.3 and 1.925(b)(3)(i) of the Commission's rules, DISH seeks a waiver of section 27.5(j),

each of the AWS-4 licenses.11
The DISH Petition was placed on public notice,12 and NTCH has filed
comments in that matter.13
On September 13, 2013, in response to both the Auction 96 Comment PN and the record
that had been developed, the Bureau released the Auction 96 Procedures PN, which established
procedures, a reserve price, and minimum opening bid amounts for the auction of H Block licenses. The
Auction 96 Procedures PN noted that "the limited comment we received on [the reserve price] issue is
generally supportive of our reserve price proposals, and we received no opposition to the use of a
It noted DISH's estimated valuation of at least $0.50 per MHz-pop based on prior auction
results, secondary market transactions, and financial institutions' estimates.14
The Bureau also
determined that "this amount will appropriately recover for the public a portion of the value of the
spectrum, especially in light of the Spectrum Act's requirement" to deposit the proceeds for use by
FirstNet.15 A later public notice announced new dates for the auction and pre-auction deadlines.16
Auction 96 is now scheduled to begin on January 22, 2014, and short-form applications were due by
November 15, 2013.
On September 16, 2013, the Rural Wireless Association, Inc., f/k/a Rural
Telecommunications Group, Inc. (RWA), filed a petition for reconsideration of the Commission's H
Block Report and Order, regarding the geographic license areas and performance requirements adopted in
that order.17
Pursuant to the Commission's established rules governing petitions for reconsideration of
rulemaking orders,18 the RWA Petition has been placed on public notice.19
On October 18, 2013, NTCH, Inc. filed its petition for reconsideration of the Bureau's
Auction 96 Procedures PN.
For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that NTCH has not demonstrated any
material error or omission in the procedures we established for Auction 96, and has not raised any
additional facts not known or existing or that were not fully considered prior to the release of the Auction
96 Procedures PN. Nor has NTCH's submission otherwise shown that reconsideration is warranted or
appropriate in this case. In particular, we reject NTCH's requests that (i) the Bureau must act prior to
Auction 96 on the RWA Petition seeking reconsideration of the Commission's H Block Report and
Order, (ii) the Bureau should lower the aggregate reserve price established in the Auction 96 Procedures
11 Pursuant to section 1.946(e) of the Commission's rules, DISH requests a one-year extension of the final
construction requirement set forth for AWS-4 licenses in Section 27.14(q). 47 C.F.R. § 27.14(q).

Federal Communications Commission
PN, (iii) any proceedings related to the DISH Petition or to DISH's ex parte comments filed in the current
proceeding should be made part of the Auction 96 proceeding, and (iv) the DISH Petition should be
resolved before Auction 96 begins.
Threshold Procedural Matter. We resolve NTCH's Petition for Reconsideration
pursuant to section 1.106 of the Commission's rules.20 Under Section 1.106(c), when a petition for
reconsideration purports to rely on facts or arguments not previously presented to the Commission (as the
NTCH Petition states that it does), the petition may be granted only under the following circumstances:
(1) the petition relies on facts or arguments which relate to events which have occurred or circumstances
which have changed since the last opportunity to present such matters to the Commission; (2) the petition
relies on facts or arguments unknown to petitioner until after his last opportunity to present them to the
Commission, and he could not through the exercise of ordinary diligence have learned of the facts or
arguments in question prior to such opportunity; or (3) the Commission determines that consideration of
the facts or arguments relied on is required in the public interest.21
RWA Petition. NTCH argues that the Commission must address the RWA Petition
seeking reconsideration of the H Block Report and Order's geographic license areas and performance
requirements before Auction 96 begins. NTCH states that, as argued by RWA, the use of Economic
Areas (EAs) as the geographic unit for H Block licenses is a decision contrary to the public interest, and
that therefore granting the RWA Petition and reconsidering the H Block Report and Order prior to
Auction 96 would be in the public interest.
A few parties submitted comments in response to the Auction 96 Comment PN suggesting
that the H Block be licensed using smaller geographic license areas. The Auction 96 Procedures PN
noted that the Commission rule using EAs as the geographic area for H Block licenses cannot be amended
by the Bureau in the context of establishing auction procedures because the Bureau lacks delegated
authority to do so.22
The Commission will address the RWA petition separately in due course, and we
cannot commit the Commission to any particular schedule. Moreover, in light of the statutory deadline
for licensing H Block, the immediate need for additional spectrum for wireless broadband noted by the
Commission in the H Block Report and Order,23 and the various public interest objectives we must
promote in using a system of competitive bidding – including in this case, contributing to the funding of
FirstNet – we decline to delay the current schedule for Auction 96.24
The existing rules governing license
areas and performance requirements for H Block licenses will remain in effect for Auction 96, unless and
until the Commission decides otherwise. This approach is consistent with practice in prior auctions
which were held as scheduled despite outstanding challenges to the auction procedures or to the licenses
being auctioned.25
This approach is also consistent with the Commission's statutory authority and rules,26
20 47 C.F.R. § 1.106. NTCH petitions for reconsideration of the Auction 96 Procedures PN pursuant to sections
1.429(a) and (b) of the Commission's rules. Sec. 1.429(a) permits interested persons to petition for reconsideration
of a final action in a rulemaking proceeding conducted under subpart C of the Commission's Part 1 rules. However,
the Bureau's pre-auction establishment of auction procedures is not a rulemaking proceeding, but rather is an
implementation of the Commission's Part 1 competitive bidding rules to establish specific procedures to govern the
day-to-day conduct of a particular auction. See MetroPCS Communications, Inc., AU Docket No. 08-46, Order, 25
FCC Rcd 2209, 2213 n. 36 (WTB 2010) ("MetroPCS Order").

and with long established precedent that the Commission is "under no duty . . . to postpone final
[licensing] action . . . until it ha[s] disposed of [a rulemaking] proceeding" whose "supposititious
eventualities" might include "modify[ing] its rules."27 Accordingly, we deny NTCH's Petition with
regard to the RWA Petition.
Reserve Price. NTCH next argues that the aggregate reserve price set in the Auction 96
Procedures PN should be significantly reduced.28 NTCH asserts (without supporting citations) that there
was no reason to think that the Auction 96 reserve price would be "radically different" from the sum of
the minimum opening bids proposed for each license, which effectively function as license-by-license
reserve prices.29
NTCH further alleges that the H Block reserve price was based on DISH's commitment
to bid its suggested 50 cents per MHz-pop reserve price in Auction 96 "in exchange for certain waivers
and extensions which it also sought."30
NTCH also argues that there was no adequate opportunity to
comment on DISH's "proposal."31
Finally, NTCH also argues that the established reserve price prevents
smaller carriers from competing and winning licenses in Auction 96 and "exacerbates the skewing of the
auction that is posed by the Commission's decision to require Sprint to be reimbursed for its clearing
efforts in this band on a pro rata basis across the entire band."32
We find NTCH's arguments unpersuasive and will not reduce the aggregate reserve
established in the Auction 96 Procedures PN. The Bureau clearly indicated in the Auction 96 Comment
PN that it was proposing to establish an aggregate reserve in an amount different from the sum of the
minimum opening bids, and cited as a rationale its public interest obligation to recover for the public a
portion of the value of the spectrum resource, revenues which in this case will help to support FirstNet.33
The Bureau explained that, although a minimum opening bid acts as a reserve price in that no lower bids
will be accepted, a minimum opening bid and a reserve price have distinct purposes. In particular, the
Bureau stated that a minimum opening bid is "generally used to accelerate the competitive bidding
process," while a reserve price is an "absolute minimum below which an item or items will not be sold."34
Accordingly, NTCH's argument that there was no reason to believe that there would be a reserve price
different from the aggregate of the minimum opening bids is unfounded.
Further, the NTCH Petition fails to demonstrate any error by the Bureau in setting the
reserve price for Auction 96. While other commenters commented on methodologies for setting a reserve
price, only DISH Network's comments suggested a specific reserve price and provided evidence
supporting that price.35

methodology as reasonable after careful consideration.36 NTCH offers no evidence to suggest that the
Bureau's determination was in error. It simply asserts that the Auction 96 established reserve price is
"astronomical,"37 but, as noted by DISH, and based on reserve prices and results in other auctions, it is in
fact in line with publicly available information on spectrum license prices.38
Finally, the Bureau must balance a variety of public interest objectives in setting the
reserve price, including promoting efficient and intensive use of spectrum and recovery for the public of a
portion of the value of the spectrum resource,39 funds which in this case will be used to support FirstNet.
We find that no factual or legal basis exists, and NTCH provides none, for its claims that the reserve price
and band clearing cost-sharing requirements "seem[] to have been designed to ensure that only Sprint and
DISH will be able to win licenses" to the detriment of smaller bidders. Accordingly, we deny NTCH's
Petition with respect to the reserve price. Further, it does not appear that NTCH's mention of band-
clearing costs was an attempt to seek reconsideration of the cost-sharing rules, but to the extent that
NTCH seeks reconsideration of the cost-sharing rules adopted in the H Block Report and Order, the
request is untimely and should have been addressed to the Commission, and we dismiss it for these
DISH Petition. NTCH next argues that if the Commission agreed with DISH that it
would bid at its suggested reserve price of $0.50 per MHz-pop in exchange for grant of its request for
waiver, the details of "this arrangement" must be made part of the record."40
This assertion, however,
fails to acknowledge that DISH's reserve price comments are already part of the record in the Auction 96
procedures proceeding.41
Moreover, DISH's Petition relating to the AWS-4 technical and service
requirements is a matter of public record and the subject of a separate proceeding in which comment is
being sought and upon which NTCH had already submitted comments prior to filing the petition we are
now addressing.42 The DISH Petition will be addressed in its own docket on its own merits. There has
been no determination made on the DISH Petition, and a petition for reconsideration of the Auction 96

minimum opening bids. In Auction 66 the aggregate reserve price was almost double the sum of the minimum
opening bids. See Auction of Advanced Wireless Services Licenses Scheduled for June 29, 2006, Notice and Filing
Requirements, Minimum Opening Bids, Upfront Payments and Other Procedures for Auction 66, AU Docket No.

Auction 73 the aggregate reserve prices, the amounts of which were comparable to the one proposed for Auction 96,
were an average of four times the corresponding sums of minimum opening bids. See Auction of 700 MHz Band
Licenses Scheduled for January 24, 2008; Notice and Filing Requirements, Minimum Opening Bids, and other
Procedures for Auctions 73 and 76, AU Docket No. 07-157, Public Notice, 22 FCC Rcd 18,141, 18,145 ¶6 and
Attachment A (2007) ("Auction 73 Procedures PN"). We note that those auctions resulted in prices of $0.54/MHz-
pop for Auction 66 and $1.29/MHz-pop for Auction 73 (data available at http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/).

Procedures PN is not the appropriate vehicle for a premature attack on any possible resolution of that
NTCH also argues that the technical issues raised in the DISH Petition should be resolved
before Auction 96 begins. NTCH contends that, if the DISH Petition is granted, DISH would then be able
to choose whether to employ the adjacent AWS-4 band for uplink or downlink operations thereby giving
DISH "an enormous advantage over all other bidders" because bidders would lack certainty about the
interference potential from the adjacent band.43
As noted, the DISH Petition will be resolved in a separate proceeding. We cannot
commit here to a specific decision in that proceeding or its timing. Auction 96 applicants can assess the
impact of existing rules and the possible impact, if any, of the technical changes proposed by DISH. Prior
to an auction, we consistently advise bidders that they are solely responsible for conducting due diligence
to investigate and evaluate all technical and marketplace factors that may bear upon their decision to bid
upon a license being offered at auction, including pending matters.44
Thus, we urge bidders to consider
any pending challenges or waiver requests in determining whether and how much to bid on licenses at
auction. It is well settled that the Commission does not routinely delay the offering of spectrum licenses
while it resolves all such challenges.45
Furthermore, if we were to delay Commission auctions or refrain
from offering licenses at auction each time a regulatory or court challenge arose, it would undermine our
ability to promote the public interest through the policy objectives of Section 309(j) of the
Communications Act. We therefore conclude that the public interest is served not by delaying Auction
96, but rather by proceeding with the auction as scheduled, and therefore deny NTCH's arguments
concerning the DISH Petition.
In conclusion, NTCH's Petition for Reconsideration fails to satisfy the applicable
standard for obtaining reconsideration and fails to show that reconsideration of the Auction 96 Procedures
PN is appropriate or warranted.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to the authority granted in Sections 4(i), 4(j),
303(r), and 309(j) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), 303(r),
and 309(j), as well as Section 1.106 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.106, that the Petition for
Reconsideration filed by NTCH, Inc., IS DENIED. This action is taken under delegated authority
pursuant to Sections 0.131, 0.331, and 1.106 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.131, 0.331, 1.106.

Ostend, Belguim was a quick 2 night stopover on our way to Amsterdam.
It had a huge beach and a large esplanade with some cool orange art features.
It was empty of people and would be one of those places that come alive in summer.
We did a day trip to the nearby gorgeous city of Bruges.
This is a cool city centred around a couple of big plazas, lots of canals and pretty photo
Heading into Germany for two days
We crossed the border from the Netherlands into Germany at 0930. There are 84 million people in this country and English is apparently not frequently spoken so we may have a new challenge. We stopped in Cologne while some of the women bought new coats. We checked out the railway station and found an ATM. Then we went into the Cathedral. Huge with the most amazing architecture.

Apparently I wasn't the only person who had that idea because there were plenty of people sitting around drinking: one good aspect of Europe. Everyone was in a good mood and once the sunlight died down, the lights came on and the buildings took on a different light which really dazzled.
