Military Bases:
Mission Transfers Affecting Ellsworth Air Force Base

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the costs and benefits of several B-1B aircraft mission transfers affecting the Ellsworth Air Force Base (AFB) in South Dakota, focusing on the: (1) extent to which the Air Force analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed jet engine intermediate maintenance consolidation at Dyess AFB, Texas; (2) costs and benefits of transferring the Route Integration Instrumentation System (RIIS) from Ellsworth to Nellis AFB, Nevada; and (3) reasons for and cost of constructing facilities for housing B-1B aircraft at Robins AFB, Georgia.
GAO found that: (1) the Air Force's mid-1995 preliminary analysis showed that consolidating B-1B engine intermediate maintenance at Dyess AFB could result in savings; (2) however, this analysis was based primarily on discussions among maintenance personnel and did not include certain factors that could reduce the savings because several important decisions, such as the extent that back-up capabilities would need to be retained at other bases, were not made until later in calendar year 1995; (3) a cost-benefit analysis, including estimated workload distribution, and one-time construction, moving, and set-up costs, was not conducted; (4) such an analysis, using updated data, is needed to assess whether the consolidation would in fact save money and result in operating efficiencies; (5) GAO's analysis of Air Force data showed that transferring the RIIS, a computer-based system for assessing flight crew training missions, to Nellis AFB from Ellsworth, should result in annual savings of about $262,000, primarily by reducing staff requirements; (6) no significant military construction is presently needed or planned for the transfer, however, some modifications may be necessary to meet security requirements; (7) if projected savings are accurate and estimated one-time transfer costs do not increase substantially, transfer costs will be recovered in less than 3 years; (8) the National Guard provided several reasons for its decision to relocate a newly established B-1B unit from Dobbins AFB to Robins AFB; (9) according to the National Guard, moving the B-1B unit to Robins minimized personnel dislocations, avoided costly runway repairs, provided diversified training routes, and permitted collocating the B-1Bs with supporting tankers; (10) other existing B-1B bases, including Dyess, Ellsworth, and McConnell, were briefly considered for the B-1B unit; (11) to put B-1B aircraft at an existing B-1B base, however, would have required activating an additional National Guard unit, while at the same time deactivating a unit; (12) the National Guard estimates construction costs for the B-1B wing at Robins will total about $99.5 million; and (13) construction started in October 1996 and is scheduled to be completed in 2001.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Air Force completed a cost/benefit analysis in March 1998 and concluded that cost savings and operating efficiencies would result from consolidating jet engine intermediate maintenance at Dyess Air Force Base.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Air Force should conduct a comprehensive cost-benefits analysis to ensure that savings and operating efficiencies will result from the consolidation of jet engine intermediate maintenance at Dyess.

The first of the four hydro-electric ppwer projects being established by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) in the Periyar-Vaigai downstream in Theni district is likely to be commissioned this month.
Work at the remaining three units are also nearing completion and will commence operations soon. The power evacuation system for these four units and other transmission projects in the southern districts was reviewed here on Wednesday by S. Akshayakumar, Director (Transmission) of Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation (TANTRANSCO), which establishes and operates the TNEB's network of transmission lines and sub-stations after it was unbundled.
A. Nachadalingam, Chief Engineer (Distribution) of Madurai Region, TNEB, told The Hindu on Thursday that two of the hydro-units had 4 megawatt total capacity each with the other two having 2.5 MW each. The Madurai region comprises Madurai, Theni, Dindigul, Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram districts.
A 110 kilovolt sub-station was being constructed at K.G. Patti in Cumbum in Theni district to evacuate power generated by the hydro-electric units. Another 110 KV sub-station was coming up in the Veerapandi panchayat in the same district to tackle voltage fluctuations.
Of the four sub-stations under construction in Madurai district, three were likely to be commissioned by March. They include the ones coming up at Mahatma Gandhi Nagar, Ellis Nagar and Avaniapuram SS - to supply power to the new terminal of the Madurai airport and Sewage Treatment Plant of the Madurai Corporation, he said.
The Ilandhaikulam sub-station, which is also part of the Transmission and Distribution Programme of the Madurai region for the current fiscal, would be supplying power to the Information Technology park. The work was in the preliminary stage.
Two more sub-stations were coming up in Dindigul, besides one each in Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram districts. The Director was also appraised of the demand for equipment to augment existing power stations and improve the power infrastructure in the southern districts, said Mr. Nachadalingam.

d2dyno added a bug in Bug Tracker[RC5] Custom Profile Fields wiped outHello,
First off, I was hesitant to post this bug report, since I've been told very sternly I'm wrong about things being bugs in the past (when, it turned out, I was right, solving multiple bugs in the process). Onto the report: I just noticed in my test IPS4 RC5 site, that all my custom profile fields are blank, and named as "core_pfield_x" where x is a particular number. The fields don't have any of their original settings from my 3.4.7 DB. Wondering if this is intended, and I have to start over, or if such behavior is unexpected.

Some people last a day. Others last a few weeks or a few months. And some people make it a lifelong commitment. No, I'm not talking about the Seinfeld episode where Jerry, Kramer, George, and Elaine all see who can last the longest as the "Master of Their Domains." I'm talking about something rated much more PG: exercise.
Aside from physical limitations and doctor's orders, in my experience it's boredom that most often causes people to quit their exercise programs. We do what we enjoy doing; it really is that simple. So if we don't enjoy exercising, it stands to reason that we will, at some point or another, stop doing it. Then how do you keep your exercise routine from becoming, um, routine? First, I guess, start referring to it as an exercise program (not because it will make you any more motivated, but it will prevent you from sounding as redundant as I just did). As for keeping your workout enjoyable, try this batch of fun-loving techniques we here at the I Look Like Fit crew cooked up.
If you are a treadmill person, bring a deck of playing cards with you to the gym the next time you go (a half or even a quarter deck will also work just fine). Keep the cards in a secure place such as a pocket or fanny-pack, as you don't want to them to start flying all over the place like you're some crazy magician. Start off at a very leisurely walking pace on the treadmill for a minute or two. Then (and this is where the fun starts) reach into your pocket and blindly remove one playing card. If it's a number card (i.e., 2 through 10), you can stay at the same pace at which you are currently walking for another minute. Whew … what a relief. But, if you pull a face card (i.e., Ace, Jack, Queen, or King), you must double your current effort level for a minute. Uh oh. And, if you are a more experienced exerciser, you may even want to develop a system where each face card represents different effort levels. So, for example, a Jack may mean that you have to double your effort level, a Queen means to triple it, etc.
Another form of interval training can be made fun with the help of your own music selection. When you find yourself with a little bit of free time at home, make a Gym Mix on your iPod comprised of an array of songs; some with fast tempos, some with slow, and some with tempos that fall in between. The key here is to make sure that you mix-up the arrangement of where the different paced songs appear in your track list. Once you've uploaded these songs to your iPod, you're now ready to do some cardio. Take your pick, really. Jogging outside, doing aerobics at home with your kids, using an elliptical machine or a StairMaster—all will work just fine. After warming-up with a few minutes of the exercise at a very easy pace, crank up the music! Whenever you hear a fast song, you must up your effort level a bit and do your best to keep it at that pace until the end of the song. Then, whatever song comes next—which by that point I'm sure you will be hoping is a slow song—you adjust your pace to it accordingly. It's kind of like Richard Simmons' Sweating to the Oldies—only with better music and less chest hair.
If you fancy yourself more of a weight pusher, for one, you probably never use phrases like "fancy yourself." Yeah, I should stop doing that. Anyway, before I make myself sound any less weight-room-tough, here's a little technique to keep your resistance training workouts from becoming stale. They're called supersets. Not to be confused with compound sets, which involve combining two exercises in a row that work the same muscle group, supersets combine two different muscle groups into one long set. To properly perform a superset, you complete full set of your predetermined repetition count and then immediately—meaning, with almost no rest in between—jump onto a full set of an exercise that works a different muscle group. To make it more clear, I'll give an example. You do ten reps (repetitions) of bench press, put the weight down, and then go right into a set of pull-ups. In this example, you worked your chest and triceps with the bench press, and then went right into a back and biceps exercise with pull-ups. This would be one complete superset, and upon its completion would be when you take your small break. One to two minutes is sufficient, and then it's back into your next superset. Not only will this method prove to be a boredom buster, but it will also provide you with more of an aerobic effect than normal, single-set weight lifting. Oh yeah, and it will cut down your time in the gym by almost half!
These are merely a few suggestions. There are countless other fun workout tips and methods you can employ. In fact, if you have a few of your own, feel free to share with the rest of the group, will ya? The comments section is all yours.

Quilt I made last summer
loraleeApril 7, 2012
This quilt is for the oldest granddaughter. Its in the closet for now.
This is a queen size and called Bluedeflt, the grandaughter loves blue and really liked the quilt too.
Hey Loralee,
That's just stunning!
Did you color it yourself, it's wonderful gradations of blue & having a small piece of Delft myself, I get the connection, very evocative of that. The bit of green is a refreshing touch. Wonderfully done, is it your own design? Hope you don't mind all the questions.
That is gorgeous. I love the color combination, so simple and timeless.

Why aren't my Sweet 100's ripening?
Soooo I have 50 gazillion Sweet 100's on the vine, and they're all "stuck" at orange. I don't think it's water or sun. I've been semi-sporadic with feeding -- is there maybe a nutrient of some sort they're missing?
I have LOTS of green tomatoes at the moment. I don't think they are going to ripen. What makes the tomato fruit ripen once it's large enough? With 6 plants, all that went into the ground mid to late-Feb, and they are all short DTM, what gives?
I have picked just a few, very few, just as they began to blush then ripened on the counter. All have been very tasty, two BER toms.
Found a simple explanation from Purdue University that I thought might help.
I've also read that once fruit sets that watering should be decreased because our extreme heat my cause the fruit to burst/split. Something to do with the plants pumping so much water to fruit that the skin cannot keep pace (defense mechanism or some such, I cannot find the book quote exactly)
Another link that is pretty informative:

I think I would like Isabel Allende more if she narrowed her focus, instead of writing grand sagas over generations. This book had some very moving parts, but didn't really wow me.
For her first novel, Isabel Allende nailed it! The character development is amazing. Her ability to encompass history within her story is admirable. She is me favorite storyteller.

Med-QUEST Determinations
The Department of Human Services (DHS) Med-QUEST Division (MQD) helps low-income adults and children obtain health coverage through managed care plans. On October 1, 2013, in compliance with mandates of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the DHS launched an on-line system that simplifies the application and eligibility determination process.
Beginning May 2014, Hawaii determination data is posted monthly. This revised time line aligns with required reporting to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
October 2014 is the first month since implementation of the ACA that the MQD is performing annual renewals for the single month. Between April and September 2014, the MQD was renewing eligibility concurrently for at least two separate months. Renewals are calculated as part of eligibility determinations.
For the period of January 2015
Calls to MQD Call Center 7,701
- On-line 3,097
- Paper 2,291

Panasonic HPX-370 P2 Camcorder
Categories: Miscellaneous No Comments
With a new, advanced 1/3″ 2.2-megapixel 3-chip imager featuring Ultra Luminance Technology (U.L.T.), the HPX370 delivers exceptional video performance for master-quality HD production. The shoulder-mount camcorder offers 10-bit, 4:2:2, full 1920 x 1080-resolution AVC-Intra recording with impressive levels of sensitivity and an interchangeable lens. The AVC-Intra codec is unrivaled for its full-raster, 10-bit, 4:2:2 sampling with none of the inherent compromises of 8-bit, long GOP and 4:2:0 recording. The HPX370 provides the ultra reliability of a solid-state design and the faster speed of a file-based workflow.
The HPX370 utilizes a 20-bit digital signal processor and high-resolution 3-MOS imagers, enhanced with U.L.T., which boosts the sensors' performance to rival the image quality and sensitive of ½" imagers. The new U.L.T. sensor results in marked improvements in sensitivity, measured at F10. These high levels of sensitivity and image quality have been achieved with a new high-sensitivity photodiode and low-noise pixel transistor, both based on low-noise analog process technology. The same levels of sensitivity and image production that characterize the interlace mode are now possible in the progressive mode courtesy of Progressive Advanced Processing (P.A.P.), a 3D adaptive processing technology.
With the flexibility of an interchangeable lens, the HPX370 can be used with 1/3″ to 2/3″ lens adapters for use with existing 2/3″ zoom and prime lenses. The camera offers a broad range of creative features including variable frame rates, advanced gamma functions including a new Cine film-like gamma, Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC), built-in scan reverse, Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) function, waveform and vector scope display and focus assist tools. The HPX370 also comes equipped with flash band detection and compensation software built-in for improved CMOS performance.
HDW : Funny isn't it only a year ago we were drooling over the HPX-300 till we discovered the bombshell…the dancing black dots, it seems Panasonic never learn and are intent on bringing out wonderful camcorders that stop short of being fantastic. Once again they are using the 1/3″ chipset in this camcorder now as far as I am concerned it doesn't matter how much dressing you add to the outside of a camcorder it's the size of the chips that matter and to bring out a further 1/3″ pro camcorder is to say the least dega vu.
Hand held camcorders get away with 1/3″ chips but they are directed at a different marketplace, shoulder mount camcorders are on the whole taken up by professionals who are used to 2/3″ chipsets, they also have spare 2/3″ glass like WA lenses etc. Sony have just brought out the PMW-350 2/3″ shoulder mount camcorder to attract the very marketplace I am banging on about.

Day ONE…Wednesday afternoon 9th December 2009
I had been asked by Sam from the BBC if I could meet up with Director of Photography (DP) Graham Smith to make sure we were both happy with the setup. I turned up with my gleaming 15″ hi-brightness prompter but it soon became apparent that the 7″ standard lo-tech prompter would suffice.
Technical… The camcorder was Graham's Sony 750 with a 35mm adapter, wireless pull focus and Arri prime lenses.
Day TWO… Thursday 10th December 2009
Hunterston House in Ayrshire was to be my first day with the crew and the thing I was not prepared for was the temperature, it was baltic, the catering van was 1st port of call for hot food and cups of warm tea, seemingly when you live in such a big old fashioned house as you can appreciate it's very hard and expensive to keep warm so you only heat the rooms you are living in. I was freezing most of day one and had stupidly put on a pair of trainers thinking inside a big old house would be warm !
Most of the interior shots you see in this production were shot in 3 locations in Scotland, Hunterston House in Ayrshire, Ardgowan house near Greenock and Effingee Studios in Glasgow. The old houses fascinated me they have rooms that are not used so the prop department has cart blanch to re decorate or sometimes re design the room to fit in with the period.
Two things fascinated me firstly was the ability of the focus puller Sue to get it right on so many occasions…she would use an old fashioned tape measure hooked onto the Sony 750 which was positioned at the sensors plane which is marked on most pro camcorders for this very use, then she would take the other end to the actors face…now thats fine if you are going to pull focus from a static position 'A' to a a static position 'B' but most of Grahams shots involved the dolly so you have an unknown speed travelling along a track and by some genius on Sue's behalf few shots were spoiled by lack of focus.
Thought a picture of this amazing lady 'Sue' should come in about now, from memory I don't think she has been focus pulling for much longer than about 10 years but I take my hat off to Sue as she was a shear delight to watch.
The other person worth watching was Nick Green the lighting director, he works closely with the DP in every shot creating fantastic lighting moods that look natural not setup. I watched as a freezing cold room was transformed into a Mediterranean sun lit room which was very confusing for my body as we were in the grip of a cold spell reaching -7º and little to no heating.
What did I learn…lots about lighting and using 'flags' as they are called to deflect light, we are always taught when lighting to diffuse, close down the barn doors, bounce the light…only the wizards like Nick treat lighting like a paintbrush and taking it to the 2nd level…not all light is wanted and most of us spend or waste time messing about with stray lighting trying to light your subject forgetting that you have the ability to take light away as well as add it to a scene.
Flaggs are nothing fancier than sheets of black foam board that you position in front of a light to cast a shadow, taking the edge off a certain part of your scene. You can watch Van Gogh "Painted with Words" on BBC ONE today (Monday) at 17.10
Benedict Cumberbatch who plays Van Gogh was a delight to work with and a true professional, the amount of dialogue he had to remember was amazing although he had a prompter he rarely needed it.

Philip Bloom is fed up with people moaning on about the downsides of using a DSLR so he has got together with Steve Weiss and some other serious technicians to produce a ten part webisode about making the ultimate DSLR, it's called FIlmBuilders, riding on the back of their very successful FilmFellas title.
Steve Weiss is a very astute businessman and technical wizard, says " We have been making high class accessories for camcorders and DSLRs for a few years now and the four of us sat down two weeks ago while Phil was over in the states and decided to build our own DSLR and have it filmed for you all to watch and learn from our mistakes".
Philip Bloom "This is as exiting as it gets…building our own DSLR and having a say in the design from day one to final production. I have been amazed at the uptake of the DSLR movement and hope this new venture will steer others towards the ultimate DSLR".
Steve Weiss "Technical details are sketchy but we are looking at a full size 35mm sensor, a PL mount for prime lenses, 1200 pixel HD swivel viewfinder and four mini XLR inputs"
HDW "Do you have a name for the camera yet…Philip Bloom "It's called the A.PRELL-FOOLS.CAM"

Just received this fantastic WA lens for the NX5 it takes the camcorder down to a 23º (35mm) angle of view. It comes with a French flag and filter holder (4 x 5.650). The lens is whats called a zoom through so once installed on the camcorder apart from looking the business you need never remove it. Fortunately I have a Kata bag (CC-195) which takes the camcorder with lens and matte box fitted…you do have to remove the easily detachable French flag.
For my work this setup serves me well having the PMW-350K for interviews, low light filming etc. the downside of the 350 is the cost of an HD wide angle lens…megabucks! The other downside to a shoulder mount camcorder is the lack of freedom to get low angle, quick shots that are "king" to the handheld camcorder.
The SONY NX5 with the HD WA lens gives me a well matched second camera and some cracking 23º WA shots that I cannot achieve with the PMW-350. You would think I work for Sony !!!
One of my regular readers Sean asked me if his 4×4 filters would fit into the filter holder, I cut out a 4×4 from 0.5 CT and as you can see if you position it at the centre it will do the trick.

When the HXR-FMU128 is used in conjunction with memory cards, Sony's unique HYBRID recording capability is enabled, allowing a combination of HD and SD resolutions to be recorded simultaneously. The operator is free to choose which resolution is recorded on each media type, and may even set the camcorder to record to both media types simultaneously.
There are many benefits to HYBRID recording, including:
♦ Edit system ingest time for HD files stored on the HXR-FMU128 is typically faster than from memory cards.
♦ HD files simultaneously recorded on memory cards provide a time and cost- effective method of archiving.
♦ SD files may be used for quick preview on a laptop or for SD deliverables, such as web-based movies.
NOTE: Recording SD simultaneously to both media types is not supported. IMPORTANT: The filenames of corresponding HD and SD clips are different.

Exposure Room just got better
Categories: Miscellaneous No Comments
"Well, we've finally done it! We've given ExposureRoom a brand new look and navigation system. The whole effort has been a grueling yet extremely satisfying 4 month affair. I hope most if not everyone will love the outcome of this effort.
Many of you write in on a daily basis to tell us how much you love the way the site looks and functions. Yet there are some who find the site cluttered and difficult to navigate. So we had to take a deep dive into trying to understand the reasons for this. The whole process of re-designing the site and navigation system started last August by way of a discussion we had in the forums and private emails. We then went back and digested every single suggestion and/or complaint about readability, navigation, clutter and general intuitiveness of the site.
Not only did we digest what ExposureRoom members had to say but (more importantly, probably) we listened to site visitors as well. Some are pretty vocal and speak their mind while others ask a "how to" question. We listened to all of them. Once we had this huge list, we had to digest it into a more systematic beast. That process took a couple of months
After that, we went to the drawing board. The primary group that participated in the initial rounds consisted of designers, engineers, support, marketing and business. Each department was a stakeholder in this process and each had valuable input to give to the design and engineering teams that addressed the concerns from members and visitors and also future direction of ExposureRoom.
Once we felt the needs and concerns of all stakeholders were addressed in the preliminary design phase, the design and engineering teams went to work. That process took 2 months. Everyone here has worked their butts off and for me it was especially nice to see the bonding between the (seemingly) disparate teams. Once the design was finalized the engineering team has their work cut out for them. Of course, even in engineering we have design and so back to the drawing board it was. This time taking the "requirements" and designing the backend system to accommodate the visual design and navigation and future extensibility of the system and site.
I'd like to take a moment to thank our members for being vocal and voicing their opinions and concerns, without which we'd not have ventured down such a bold path. I'd like to thank the visitors who have taken the time to give us a piece of their mind and finally the XR team for putting in a tremendous effort, working towards a common goal and exceeding my expectations by a long shot.
This was a complete overhaul and not just a tweak here and there. The new navigation system should allow you to go from one end of the site to the other in a single click. Not only that, you may actually discover areas of the site you didn't know existed!"
Shiv Kumar (XR)
HDW : Poor Shiv some of the XR crew do not like the new look and the new navigation, personally I think it's far better and it's just a matter of getting used to the new navigation tools.

Canada security bill provides new powers to combat terror
RICHMOND HILL, Ontario (Reuters) – New anti-terror legislation in Canada would make it a crime to call for attacks on the country and give a much larger role to the government's main spy agency.
The bill introduced by the Conservative government on Friday would give the spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the ability to disrupt attacks by interfering with travel plans or communications, for example. In the past, CSIS has been limited to the collection of intelligence.
Canada security bill seeks new powers to combat terror
RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, Jan 30 (Reuters) – New anti-terror

Canada surprise rate cut keeps housing party going
TORONTO (Reuters) – A surprise move by the Bank of Canada to cut interest rates on Wednesday could reignite Canada's housing market and renew fears of a bubble, just as the market had finally begun to cool after a five-year run to record prices.

years ago.
"It's a big shock for everyone. I thought it was getting
better," said one Toronto Target employee who would only give
her first name, Lima, for fear of reprisal from her employer.

Canada's Bombardier bows out of Amtrak's Acela procurement
TORONTO (Reuters) – Canada's Bombardier Inc said on Monday it is not bidding for the contract to replace Amtrak's high-speed Acela, clearing the way for a rival to produce the next generation of the popular but sometimes troubled U.S. passenger trains.
The first Acela trains, which Bombardier made with France's Alstom SA, went into service in 2000. Amtrak is to announce the new supplier this spring. Alstom declined to comment on whether it is bidding.

Paul worked hard to see that our condo was sold. I strongly commend Paul for his wonderful work on our behalf!!! Twice we had potential buyers and the transacations fell through. Paul continued to work hard to try to get the sale through so we could avoid foreclosure. It was his dilligence that led to eventual sale of the condo.

Taylor Guitars introduces its inspired new 600 Series; with photo gallery and video.
The Elkridge, Maryland-based Oktober Guitars has introduced its new Pktober XP guitar, which they're calling a new take on -- and improvement of -- a classic design. The Oktober XP is available worldwide and can be ordered directly from the Oktober Guitars website.
While software developers have created some cool guitar apps for the iPad, they're not exactly easy to use onstage due to the lack of foot controls and the fragility of the typical guitar-to-iPad audio interface. However, DigiTech's new iPB-10 elevates the iPad's live performance functionality to professional quality by using the device as a processing engine and command center for DigiTech's impressive effects, amp and cabinet modeling software and placing it in a durable, roadworthy floor-mounted controller with heavy-duty footswitches, a sweepable control pedal and numerous output options.
As anyone who has ever experimented with lots of pedals can attest, some of the coolest sounds are created by using two identical or similar effects together. Savvy pedal designers have exploited this phenomenon by developing stomp boxes that place two effects in the same box but provide extra flexibility and capabilities that two individual stomp boxes together can't match. The Visual Sound Dual Tap Delay is a great example of this approach, harnessing the power of two independent delay units to produce effects that are greater than the sum of their parts.
Last month, TC Electronic officially released the new John Petrucci Dreamscape Signature TonePrint Pedal, the first custom pedal to capture the Dream Theater guitarist's signature tones in one small package.
Vox Amplification is now shipping the newest addition to its all-tube line, the AC4C1-BL, which recreates a rare vintage look from Vox's long amp history.
65amps has introduced The Ventura guitar amplifier, the latest addition to its more affordable "Working Pro" Red Line.
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario examines the new ESP LTD Deluxe Eclipse model, the EC-1000T/CTM. The guitar features a gold-plated, locking TonePros bridge and ESP locking tuners, as well as EMG-81 and EMG-60 pickups.
Blackstar Amplification is celebrating its five-year anniversary by expanding its popular HT-5 line of tube amplifiers with a very limited-edition anniversary model, the HT-5TH. The new 2x10 combo amp features custom cosmetics including cream covering, paired with custom colored grille cloth. The chassis top panel is marked as an HT-5 Anniversary Edition, and the 5th Anniversary logo is featured on the back. Only 2,500 units will be available worldwide.
Roland has introduced its GA-212 and GA-112 guitar amplifiers. Unlike modeling amps that set out to recreate the sound of multiple vintage classics, the GA series leverages Roland's COSM technology to create newly voiced amplifiers with versatile tones and simple, intuitive operation.
Guitarists in '60s cover bands, rejoice. The UK-based Rotosound has brought back its Vintage Fuzz Pedal, which uses the same circuit configuration as their original 1960s design, with the addition of modern resistors and capacitors.

DLPShort for Digital Light Processing, a new technology developed by Texas Instruments used for projecting images from a monitor onto a large screen for presentations. Prior to the development of DLP, most computer projection systems were based on LCD technology which tends to produce faded and blurry images. DLP uses tiny mirrors housed on a special kind of microchip called a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). The result is sharp images that can be clearly seen even in a normally lit room.

Life of an Ear of Corn
Ever wonder what it takes to get that ear of corn harvested. Maybe you thought it was just running the combine over the field. Well it is a little more involved than that. Here is a few short raw videos of getting that corn in from the field. Watch them in order to get the full story. Randy makes the combine look easy but it is constant attention to many different controls, settings and listening to the sound. ...

Jo Dee Messina - Because You Love Me - Today's Christian Videos
Embed bobmarshall 3025 views 2010-10-02T02:05:17 I don't know who the original authors had in mind as to who "you" refers to here. It's a country song, probably about a relationship between a man and a woman. It could just as easily be interpreted that "you" is Jesus Christ, so that's what I did. The song was written by Kostas and John Scott Sherrill. Bottom line is: Jesus loves us!
