Oxalis purpurea wanted
I am hoping that there may be an Aussie looking in who has Oxalis purpurea "Garnet" or one of the other colour forms available that I can buy.
No point in looking at US or European sources as it is virtually impossible to import them into Australia.
Are you allowed to import from NZ? I noticed someone on TradeMe had plants for sale (last year).
Parva Plants also has some Oxalis spp and may be licensed to send them across The Ditch.
You probably already know that they can be an absolute bane in the garden....:-) However, O. purpurea looks gorgeous in the right container, so that's no problem.
Good luck with your hunt.
Hi vetivert8
As far as I am aware NZ is classified as "The Rest of the World".
I have the white form in the garden and over the past 10 years, or more, it has spread where I wanted it to but I cannot say it has, in any way, been invasive.
It is a real charmer bringing a flood of white, throughout the winter.
Here's a link that might be useful for enquiries:
They gleefully share your advocacy for the white version.
I'm more a fan for O. versicolor and massoniana, with hirta running a very close third.
Other possible might be by seed from South Africa.
This website cruelly makes you scroll past the yummy pictures to the bottom for a link to their seed room. Ouch!
Again - good luck. They're such generous plants with flowers and bulbs - and the well-mannered ones are a joy.
Hi vetivert8
I've been doing some research on the ICON database of AQIS. This is their bible of what can and cannot be imported. Unfortunately, purpurea, either as bulbs or seed, is not listed as being permitted from any country. If not listed, by default it is banned, until the importer proves to them that it will not pose a biosecurity risk. This is a VERY long winded and expensive exercise as I found out when trying to get cacti seed imported for my hobby. Even when I pointed out to them that the species I was interested were synonymous with plants on their list, they were not interested. If the name wasn't on their list, tough! To get the name placed on the list required an amendment to a Federal Act of Parliment and that can take years. I even asked the suppliers to rename the seed but they weren't interested in that either. A brick and a hard place situation.
Thanks, though, for the links. Beautiful. I will now just have to look at my O. purpurea alba and imagine them mixed with other colours. :-((

The Synthesizer in Popular Music: Some Problems and Solutions
In recent years, the articles and papers on the synthesizer have dealt mostly with the technology of design, rather than with either the philosophy of design or its usefulness. The latter is the subject of this paper. We will consider some limitations of the present studio synthesizers, and will suggest some ways in which these limitations may be overcome, not by extensive redesign, but by simple modification and, more importantly, by a more appropriate use of the instrument as it exists today.

Update: Holtby was the first golaie off the ice Tuesday and will get the start against the Jets, the Washington Post's Katie Carrera reports.
Recommendation: Holtby allowed six goals on 34 shots in the season opener, but it was hardly all his fault, as the Caps committed eight penalites. He'll get the chance to bounce back against the Jets on Tuesday, but may be on a short leash if things don't go well early.

Dividing roscoea
pearlbegoniaSeptember 24, 2008
I've had this plant in a container for several years. Every couple of years I put it into a larger pot. It's in a 12 inch pot now. I'm wondering if it would be better to divide it, or continue to put it into larger pots. So far it is continuing to bloom well each year and doesn't seem to be getting puny like daylilies sometimes do when they need dividing. However, the roots are very tightly tangled. So what do you think, should I divide it, or just pot it up into another larger pot?

Club Promoter Rumored Lindsay Lohan's New Boyfriend
Mar 20, 2013 07:11 PM EDT | By Jaclyn Ashley
Lindsay Lohan is reportedly dating Avi Snow, a New York City club promoter and musician, E! News reported. Avi plays for the indie band, City of The Sun. It is rumored the couple have been dating for the past few weeks. E! News also reported, the actress went to see Avi play a show after her mug shot was taken on Tuesday.
Like Us on Facebook
The actress has not confirmed the relationship on her Twitter account yet. She did not even tweet at the New York City club promoter. Her past few tweets state, "Don't believe EVERY little thing you hear, unless you hear it from me. The support I have gotten has been great and means a lot. I stayed in last night, after a pretty long day...and ordered sushi to my hotel."
According to Forbes, "Lindsay Lohan turned herself in and was officially booked yesterday after agreeing to go to rehab for the sixth time as part of a plea deal on Monday." They also reported, the actress's treatment will occur in a lock down facility; this means Lohan cannot leave the premise under any circumstances. The actress will be in rehab for thirty days, the judge also gave her 30 days of community service, 18 months of psychological treatment, a fine and restitution. The judge required Lohan to show proof she is enrolled in the program by May 2, Forbes reported.
The actress needs to get her life on track. Avi Snow might be able to help her do so. The New York City club promoter does need appear to party a lot, despite his profession. He rarely sends out tweets on his Twitter account, and there is not much on the internet about him. City of The Sun, currently has a little over 2500 Facebook fans. If Lohan confirms the relationship is indeed true, the band's fan base will probably increase. Lindsay Lohan is frequently making headlines; the media is always wondering what the actress is doing. The actress usually makes headlines, because of her poor choices.
Lindsay Lohan needs a strong support system, in order to help her through this difficult time. Avi Snow appears to be a levelheaded individual; he might be the person she needs.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Where hanging out was hot
Retired farmer created safe haven for teens
The unassuming single-storey storefront at the corner of Ellesmere Avenue and St. Mary's Road in St. Vital, currently home to The Tackle Box, may not look like it now, but in the 1960s it was a swinging hotspot.
Opened in early 1965, The Twilight Zone club at 539 St. Mary's Rd. was a mecca for local teens who came to hear live rock 'n' roll music seven days a week.
Owner Dick Roberts, a retired farmer, was seeking to create a safe haven where teens could hang out all evening. "The kids should have a place they can call their own," he stated in an August 1965 Winnipeg Free Press story. "Restaurants don't welcome kids sitting around for hours over a soft drink. This gets them off the streets and parents know where they are. I like the kids and want to do something for them."
As frequent patron Judy Edwards noted, Roberts "never lets anything get out of hand. We can have fun." Entering the club with its blue walls and red and white checkered tablecloths, teens were issued a time card and charged 20 cents per half hour plus any food or beverages.
"The time clock cards were a unique approach not tried in Winnipeg before," says Glenn MacRae of Twilight Zone favourites The Crescendos. The club was unlicensed but smoking was allowed. During the day it served as a restaurant before transforming in the evenings.
Besides the casual coffeehouse-like ambiance, the real attraction was the bands. The Zone had a particular sound, more of a raucous R 'n' B style, and featured like-minded bands. When Gimli band The Saints (later The Fifth) moved to Winnipeg in 1965, one of their first gigs was at the Twilight Zone.
"We were playing Buddy Holly and Beatles," recalls bass player Richard Gwizdak. "The crowd was yelling for Walking The Dog, I'm Your Kingpin, and Farmer John. So we learned them and returned and went over great." The Zone also became a popular gathering place for musicians on off nights. According to The Quid's Colin Palmer, "We always used to hang out there and see other bands when we weren't playing." Adds Orfans drummer Ken "Dutch" Schultz: "You'd look out and recognize all those familiar faces." "When there was a lull at the club and only a few people," says The Deverons' Bruce Decker, "we could learn a new song, try it out, and have it in our set by the time the crowd picked up."
As Glenn MacRae recalls, "Neil Young was one of the only guys in town playing harmonica, so during breaks at The Zone he gave me harmonica lessons in our Volkswagen van in the back parking lot." Neil's Squires played The Zone on several occasions.
"The music we play was written for this type of audience so, naturally, this is where we enjoy playing it," Neil was quoted in a Winnipeg Tribune article. "My wife would go there with her sisters just to hear Neil sing Farmer John," says Denis Penner.
The Exiled's Bonnie Wallace remembers the night guitar great Lenny Breau paid the club a visit.
"We were well into the evening when in walked Lenny and took a seat at the back of the club. Our guitarist Doug Love's face turned ashen and I could see him start to panic. Doug was fast building a reputation as one of the best guitar players around. Lenny was there to check him out. White-faced with sweat rolling down his forehead, Doug played his solo with his back to the audience. He couldn't look at Lenny. He played the rest of the set that way. Afterwards Lenny came up and talked to him and Doug was pretty pumped after that."
Burton Cummings vividly recalls a memorable 1965 Twilight Zone performance.
"I went down to the Zone to see The Sticks & Stones. Early in the set they went into That's How Strong My Love Is and (singer) Dean Steeves seemed to leave The Zone and go who-knows-where mentally, spiritually, whatever. He writhed on the floor, shrieked face down in the St. Vital dust, twitched and moaned into space, finishing the number by seemingly ravaging the cigarette machine at the side of the stage. It was a staggering performance." Recalling Steeves' antics, Cummings later composed King Of The Twilight Zone.
Even Winnipeg winters couldn't keep teens away. "I dug my Honda 50 motor scooter out of a snowbank in the middle of January and me and Art Houston rode it all the way to The Zone from River Heights to see The Orfans there," laughs Ralph Gammelseter. "Were we nuts or what? What a trip!"
Although The Twilight Zone's tenure was brief, closing by 1967, memories remain strong.
"There was something about that place that symbolized the whole '60s scene," says The Quid's Morley Nickles. Adds Bonnie Wallace, "It was definitely one of the coolest places."

About Diane Macdonald
Those who know me well know that photography is a way of life for me. It is my passion, and has been since I was a child and used my parents' box camera to photograph cows in a field near our home in Scotland.
After several years as a school teacher, many years as a stay at home mom for my two sons and then several more years in information technology, I finally started a career in photography back in 1993 and in stock photography in particular in 1996.
Currently my stock images are marketed and available for licensing through Getty Images and also through Alamy and SuperStock.
I am now happy to offer fine art prints of my photography and also of my digital art created with Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop. I love bold color, and have adopted the following quote to explain my digital works of art:
�Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.� Claude Monet

Hello, My name is Tanner. I'm a programmer, who likes to mod and build games in my spare time. You may know me as the lead developer on The Price of Freedom for Homeworld 2. I'm qualified in C++, PHP, and Java. I also have knowledge and skills in LUA and Python. I'm a big Sci-Fi fan, with my favorite works being anything Stargate, Homeworld, and of course, Firefly.
Genesis Mod, if you can find it.
Oh no, not to worry, it doesnt. You'll see that things are marked with height lines. Plus movement disks are colored vibrantly.
Its a picture lol
Only problem with that is that some people that I worked with before held the rights to yank it at will, meaning if I finished TPOF, and 5 years down the road, they ask to pull it, i'd have to dig it up, recompile everything, test everything, and then redeploy it. Basically, im not comfortable with people "changing their minds" (which they do, not saying everyone does) but, when I say fair price, I mean fair price. Right now, this is just an outline, if it comes down to it, we'll discuss one on one a deal. Just trying to scare off the trolls.
Awesome Story writing. Can't wait to play this mod!
Yeah. I rigged the shaders so It doesn't make it crash.
You're welcome :)
actually it all was done in garageband during some downtime.
Wouldn't be Canon.
The Campaign is incomplete. It is only enabled for people to test to see how homeworld 2 reacts on a variety of profiles and systems.
Oh. Yeah that's a bug, thanks! I thought we had already fixed this, must have been when we merged our Dev lanes.
Turn up the Unit Caps in the game settings screen before you start.
hmm, wonder who got a hold of the of the decimal to octal translator...
Things would go bad..
i c wut u did thar. As for realism, The engine has a time handling this correctly, so its best to just turn it down.
We're simply playing around with concepts that we can use. Right now, to be honest, These are simply prototypes, and proof-of-concepts. We have a policy about experimental code going into final builds. Really, we are simply showing you what we CAN do with the homeworld 2 engine. obviously this will not go into 2.5c, as right now, the whole thing (Map Targa) takes up about 64 mb of space. Not to worry, we wouldn't impede user flow through the menu system just to put in a stupid effect. :P
oh crud. What Operating system?
Did you put the files in Homeworld2/Data/
I might be able to do that.
Use the filefront mirror
Ah, someone caught on.
Yep. I asked him if I could use it in TPOF.
Try running TPOF: Basic. If it still crashes, send me the Crash logs please.
Looking at a release tommorrow
Displacement = Rate x Time. Gotta love that equation. I'll update it so we can please the math geeks and increase the mindfuckery. lol.
Awesome Guys! hopefully the single player will be easy to do.
Hard work. Good Marketing.
All my files are backed up, just have to upload them when ready.
Man..this makes me feel bad. I have a lot of work to do. But im only one man :( My team doesnt do much at all anymore. Anyone wish to help? Great review though, it really brings out what i need to do, and what i have accomplished a long with help of others.
eventually that will change. As we're short on an actual modeller.
The AI has always worked.
Multimissile it is!
a little nod to an awesome game. but in TPOF, PPC means Plasma Projection Cannon (since its a beam, in MW its a projectile)
yeah the server was getting a little fucky. yes its a probe with guns on it. wait til you see it in action muhahahah.
Yes, i have been thinking of Actually giving the DOL a similar UNCG layout. Only problem is that the UNCG are suppose to be the same, as the Superfortree should not be able to build any ships over frigate size. Also on the repair, not on purpose, but this bug rears it ugly head every so often and its hard to weed it out.
woah! Very Cool!
Well, I'm, Let loose..
AWesomeness! Now maybe Homeworld 2 will come back (In black)!
You're still on Windows? lol
Wait a second...the maps have a glare setting? ****. I never thought to look there, I let NSWMaps take care of the mapping, so i never really looked at it. Son of a bitch...thats probably why 3/10 people have problem with the game showing up as white space. Might have to roll a patch.
Heres an oddity....what OS, what driver version?
ATI graphics Card?
Yeah...it is lol
OK, So Im going to get them packed and out by next week. :D
I just looked. Moddb will take the download. However a Torrent would be great.
Either way, I'm still here. lol.
You're running Intel Graphics.
Yep. Its an issue with ATI drivers, and the way Homeworld 2 tries to work with it. Unfortunately we could never figure out why ATI cards react to these changes like they do. Unfortunately this cannot be fixed..sorry.
Let me guess...ATI Graphics card, right?
Holy Crap...Thats an awesome setup you got there. Are the planets Textured like that or is that the lighting?
Errr....Not really. How does it look wierd?
No. Although I'm a big Fan of Andromeda, Slipstream is not based on Andromeda.
This contains win (tm)
I like! very good use of my backgrounds and stars!!
Its like a framework. Basically, you can take this package and study it, revise it, etc. Use piece of it in another mod. Basically its a Get-started-kit.
Wow. With Core at the Core? Im gonna watch this :)
Sorry man, I have widescreen too, and dev'd on it..I tried to fix the aspect ratio...but it doesn't do much good.
ATI Chips were always a bit iffy with Homeworld 2 in general. Id go on a google hunt and see if you can solve the problem. I dont have an ATI chipset machine...anywhere. Not even at work. So, I cannot test or provide a fix for this, Sorry.
yeah....that definately sounds like an issue outside of homeworld2. Probably Graphics Related...what GPU/Chipset do you have?
I have an idea...
New game you mean. And we have, well, I have a few ideas.
Thanks man!
..and when I meet my shadow, I see Gravity! I love that ******* song. Too bad Embassy (Mayday) doesn't go mainstream.
have to work on that.
Awesome Review of Slipstream: TPOF, now i know what we have to do.
For compatibility, they will be in the campaign.
Ok will do so. Let me allow you into the forums.

The Medersa el Attarin
The Medersa el Attarin (medersa - college) was completed in 1325 by the Merinid sultan Abou Said which makes it one of the earliest and finest medieval colleges in Fes. The entrance opens onto a courtyard with a fountain in the middle where you may find the prayer hall right ahead. Take some time to study the detail in the woodwork and patterns;...more
The Royal Palace of Fes
The Royal Palace is situated at the far end of the Mellah's main street; it has been expanded and rebuilt over the centuries and is by far one of the greatest buildings in Morocco; its surrounded by vast and beautiful gardens. You may not enter the palace, however in the '70s sometimes it was possible to gain permission to enter part of the...more

Their specialities include Berber rugs, ceramics, leather goods, silver and the...more
The New Fes!
Fes el Djedid was an entirely planned city built by the Merinids at the beginning of their rule; work begun in 1273 by Abou Youssef and was completed within 3 years. In this city one may find plenty upmarket hotels, restaurants and also the Royal Palace and Mellah - the Jewish quarter. After exiting Bab Boujeloud you leave behind you the souks of...more
Smelly Tannery!
Whilst walking around the old city of Fes at one point you will smell this terrible stench! Yup you've made it to the Fes tannery! Anyone will gladly show you the way to view the men at work from a rooftop... they will explain to you how the process is done... a mixture of pigeon poo and lots of other vile stuff - no wonder the stench! :) It's...more
The tanner's bath
Some of the baths are used to color the leather. There is none showing here : nobody was working as it was two days after the end on the Ramadan, and it was a rest day. I have older slides that show it. I will scan and add them later.more
The tanner's souk
Mutton skins are bathing in various baths in order to remove any remaining flesh and the wool. Though it was winter, the smell was pestilential as always, but we came here to visit, then, we MUST visit, whichever the strength of the smell ! By the way, in summer, the smell is really atrocious, much worse than in winter !more
Maristane Sidi Frej

There are many Merdersa scattered around the medina, some with very ornate and beautiful interiors. Medersa as-Seffarine was probably my favoutite although it was in a state of disrepair. 10 Dirhams entrancemore
Walk to the Old City Walls
These old ruined walls are up on the small hills on the western side of the Medina, near to the bus station and Hotel Merinides. The view of the whole medina from up here is great, and you can climb around the ruins aswell. I went up there in the evening and watched the sun come down, listening to the prayer calls wailing out from the scores of...more
Other Local Manufacturing
My guide took me to see some very small scale local workshops, working with leather and stone, up at the Bab Bou Jeloud end of the Medinamore
There are many small scale tanneries all around the Medina, you need only follow the less than subtle smell of rotting animal remains to find them. At the main tannery you will get the hard sell from the locals, with a fee to look at the tannery, a fee for someone to show you their leather products, a fee not to buy something and a fee to leave. I...more
Get a Guide
The best way to get a feel of the Fes is to hire a guide to show you around. This way, you will get to see things that you would not see by yourself. Official guides have a badge and certification, but there are many unofficial guides aswell, regularly offering their services as you wander around the Medina. My guide was unofficial (I realised when...more
The Medina
The Medina is a staggering array of tightly woven streets and alleys, lined with souks, cafes, homes, shops etc etc etc. It's impossible not to get lost just wandering around, but quite fun to do so anyway. There will always(usually too often) be someone to guide you to where you want to go, but at a price of course.more

Bab Boujeloud
One of eight entrance gates to the medina of Fez. This ornate gate is all the more famous for its framing view of the twin minarets. The bab (gate) is relatively new by Fes terms having been built in 1913. On one side the bab is a striking blue, on the other it is the traditional Moroccan green (see my other photos for different perspectives on...more
The Medina is Incredible
You cannot experience Fes without venturing into the labyrinth that is the medina. Countless alleys will take the intrepid visitor past endless stalls where vendors sell everything and anything including camels' heads. Be prepared for an all out siege on each of the senses. An afternoons' venture in the medina will be sure to include sights,...more
Qaraouine Mosque
Qaraouine Mosque is the main mosque in the medina. non-Muslims cannot enter the mosque. For this reason I'll put there a picture that you can see inside.more
hire a guide
You can easily get lost inside the medina. There are many narrow streets, as far as I remember 9000. Remember that, you dont have a map. So, don't trust yourself and dont get risk.The best way to do it; hire a guide and get fun of your journey without afraid of how can I return to main gateWhen a guide comes to you (they all know who needs help)...more
Mellah - The jewish Quarter
Next to the royal palace, also worth visiting is " The Mellah (Jewish quarter)" in Fes el Jidid (New Fes). In the 14th century, the Jews came, and built their Mellah within Fes-el-Jidi, the middle city"La ville nouvelle", constructed by the French in 1916.About 5000 of jews are still living in Moroccomore

Fès el Jidid
Another part of Fès - the new town (French style). In this less touristic part of Fès an eyecatcher is the royal palace "Dar el Makhzen". Not open for the public but the outside walls with remarkable and huge doors are worthed to take your camera.more
Palace Mnebhi
A former palace built by Mnebhi - minister of defense (beginning 20th century)This palace was the first official residence of Marshal Lyautey in 1912, prior to this settlement in the Dar Baida (white house)Actually it serves as a rest-house and a gorgeous waiting place for visitors heading toward the MedinaWhile tasting a glass of mint tea in one...more

Yes..there is also some "common" beauty
Whereas in my opinion it's not even a "must see", I guess the [forgot the name, but it's the one that's always represented in Fes' touristic booklets] Medrassa (old religious Al-Koran school) is a fine example of Muslim Architecture.Entering it after wandering around on the whirlpool of streets, and apreciating the beauty of the building in ruins,...more
Kairouyine Mosque
The saying goes that 'all roads in the medina lead to the Kairouyine Mosque. It is the second largest mosque in Morocco (after the new mosque in Casablanca), and was founded by a pious woman in 859 in memory of her father. Entry is strictly for Muslims only!more
Medina - neighbourhood mosques
Every quarter of the medina has its own mosque, which is used for prayers on a daily basis, whereas the Grand Mosque is reserved for Fridays.From my journal:'In the heart of the medina we come across a mosque, and while we stand there at the door way, lots of men arrive and go in (and out) for their prayers, having taken their shoes off. It is like...more
Medina - modern quarter
To my surprise, there is a complete modern area of the medina too - I must confess I didn't enjoy that part as much as I enjoyed the traditional quarters. The modern market could have been anywhere in North Africa, whereas the rest of the medina is totally unique to Fes!more
Medina - wool market
From my journal:'One area is dedicated to the dying of wool, and reels of wools in every colour under the sun are hung up under the make-shift roof, dripping coloured water on the ground and permeating the air with the aroma of wet wool.'more

I'm sure that Bodie Light are disappointed that their light is not shown. What is shown is Portland Headlight in Cape Elizabeth, Me. 2nd light house commissioned by George Washington. Completed 1791. Rams Island Light can be seen in the distance. Bought by a single individual. Coast Guard maintains both lights. Splended entrance to Portland Harbor at night.
Happening in Canada too - see this story I wrote for Open File Halifax. http://halifax.openfile.ca/halifax/text/leave-light-local-community-grou...
"Lighthouses remind people that as mariners battled what Walt Whitman called "the wild unrest, the snowy, curling caps—that inbound urge and urge of waves, Seeking the shores forever," someone was watching over them, and wishing them safely home."
Well no, someone was not watching over them, they couldn't see them in the dark. And probably 9 days out of ten they were not battling wild waves, they were simply trying to find the way home. The folks built a great big torch that waved about in the dark, and went to bed. This is The Economist. Utility please.
Ah, but someone was watching over the lighthouse. And in the days of frequent mechanical failures, that was no small thing. Being a lighthouse keeper was mostly tedious, sometimes hard, and occasionally truly terrifying. But it was important. Until it wasn't.
The lighthouse shown in the photo is the one at Portland head near Portland Maine.
yet another topic previously cover by npr
Which I would not know because I do not listen to NPR. What is your point?
On the topic:
I hope all of America's lighthouses are maintained simply for historical purposes. But as far as navigation is concerned, I think each lighthouse should always have an automated light to aid.
It's like flying an airplane with GPS; you don't really need beacons and radio navigational aids but it's nice to have something to confirm your position. Technology always seems to let one down at the worst possible times.

Chamberlain Garage Door Opener
bigfishOctober 3, 2006
About a month ago my son-in-law replaced a worm drive gear and a large round gear in my Chamberlain 1/2 hp garage door opener. Installation of parts seemed easy enough but when he was finished the door would only open a foot or so. He reread all the instructions and decided the limit switches needed to be reset. The door opens about 3 foot now and will not come back down. He got frustrated and now has left it up to me to fix or get it fixed! He had the switch completely apart and now I am not sure where the original settings were! Any help would be appreciated as we all know winter is coming and I don't want to be in the cold!

Hi! I have been teaching for over seven years and am no stranger to the stage. While majoring in music performance at the University of West Georgia, I performed with jazz ensembles, guitar quartets, and percussion ensembles. I also performed many solo classical guitar recitals. The only thing I love more than performing, is teaching and sharing music. *** Lesson Details *** My lessons generally include three parts with content depending on your level of experience: technique, repertoire, and theory. I am an enthusiastic although laid back teacher, however I do push my students in order for them to realize themselves as a musician. I like to have fun with lessons because music is fun and I enjoy it. I hope you do too! Literature used in lessons: New Dimensions in Classical ...

I later went to Prague Conservatory and Czech Budweiss Conservatory and played with the Prague Film ...
I started playing guitar at the age of 12, teaching myself before I moved on to taking professional lessons. At 15, I began performing in front of live audiences with a rock band, and loved every minute of it. Ever since then, I have been performing and recording, as well as writing/arranging music. I was privately tutored extensively in Music Theory, Harmony, Arrangement and Composition. I have played many stages over the years in various cover and original bands, from acoustic to rock, to blues, metal and southern rock. I feel that I can offer much from the viewpoint of a working musician in addition to your basic instrument lesson; from instrument set-up tips, to getting your own sound, to how to effectively use effects and performance tips. Personally, I enjoy rock and metal music ...

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition CPU - Synthetic Tests - Part IISo, the 3.2GHz Phenom II X6 isn't enough for you? Well then, AMD has a new 3.3GHz model hot off of the press.
Here is where we dig out the FutureMark tests.
PCMark Vantage
Version and / or Patch Used: 184.108.40.206
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Buy It Here
For overall system performance we use PCMark Vantage. This is run in both x86 and x64 mode to give the best indication of performance.
Wow! Look at this here; the $270 Phenom II X6 1100T is right on the heels of the more expensive Core i7 875K. That is an impressive item in my book.
3DMark Vantage
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.0.1
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Buy It Here
For synthetic gaming tests we used the industry standard and overlockers bragging tool 3DMark Vantage. This is a test that strives to mimic the impact modern games have on a system. Futuremark went a long way to change from the early days of graphics driven tests to a broader approach including physics, AI and more advanced graphics simulations.
3DMark Vantage uses the DX10 API in addition to having support for PhysX. As we are no longer using an NVIDIA GPU for testing (at least until we can get a GTX 4xx card) you will only see the CPU based PhysX results in the scores. For testing we use the Performance test run.
Unfortunately the PII X6 100T was not as close in 3DMark Vantage as it was in PCMark. Still, it is not so far behind that we would count it out as a potential gaming CPU.
Cinebench R11.5 X64
Version and / or Patch Used: R11.5 X64
Developer Homepage: http://www.maxon.net/
Product Homepage: http://www.maxon.net
Download It Here
Cinebench is a synthetic rendering tool developed by Maxon. Maxon is the same company that developed Cinema4D, another industry leading 3D Animation application. Cinebench R11.5 tests your systems ability to render across a single and multiple CPU cores. It also tests your systems ability to process OpenGL information.
Again we find an impressive showing by the PII X6 1100T. It is leading the pack of stock CPUs and even seriously outperforms some of the overclocked ones.

There is a line in the illegal immigration debate that goes something like this: Illegal workers pay tons of taxes that help subsidize the rest of us because they can't benefit from them such as Social Security tax.

'Cluster Balloon' Daredevils Attempt Record Flight
Originally published on Tue July 17, 2012 12:17 pm
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renée Montagne. In the Pixar movie "Up" a man lifts his house up and away using a huge bundle of colorful balloons. In real life cluster balloons are daredevils. Last weekend, an American teamed up with an Iraqi to try and break the world record for longest tandem cluster balloon flight.
