GIGABYTE G1.Sniper2 (Intel Z68) Motherboard Review - The Motherboard*Pew Pew* - We check out the fully armored G1.Sniper2 from GIGABYTE today. Let's see how the series goes on the Z68 chipset.
The Motherboard
Looking at the board, you can see the black / lime green color combination that's going on. To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the lime green combination originally, but when you look at the board when it hasn't got direct light on it, the green isn't as bright and it blends in really nice with the board. The black PCB is what really stands out, though, and we're seeing higher end boards opt for it as it looks great.
We can also see other little stand out bits and pieces with the ammunition clip being one of the trademark features of the G1 Killer line of motherboards. It looks pretty funky and you can see a bullet coming out the top of it for some extra attention to detail. It's nice they added that little bit and it helps actually show us what it is, instead of some weird shaped heatsink.
Before we move into the expansion side of things, two stand out chips around this area are the Killer E2100 chip to the left and the Creative chip to the bottom right. We'll get into these more when we look at the I/O side of things.
As for the connectivity side of things, we've got two legacy PCI slots and two PCIe x1 slots along with two PCIe x16 slots. You can see that the PCIe x16 slot on the right is wired for only x8 and shares the bandwidth with the left slot which is x16 when one card is installed, or x8 when two are installed.
Moving away from the PCIe connectors, we look at the bottom of the board and starting from the left we've got our audio header followed by three USB 2.0 headers. Next to that we've got our COM and TPM header along with our front panel header. Next to that you can see our "OC Button" header and that works in conjunction with the front panel device which has that "Quick Boost" button we mentioned.
Turning the corner, we've got seven SATA ports. Our three black ones which have one hidden just behind the main six are all SATA II controlled via the Intel chip. The two white ones also controlled by the Intel chip are SATA III and the final two grey ones which are SATA III are controlled via the Marvell 88SE9172 chip. A little further up to the right we can also see another header which is our USB 3.0 one.

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (AP) — Crystal Cathedral founder Robert H. Schuller tearfully asked his parishioners for help in overcoming the megachurch's tens of millions in debt.
The Orange County Register says Schuller made the plea from the pulpit Sunday as he spoke publicly for the first time since the church filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday.
The 84-year-old Schuller's voice cracked with emotion as he told congregants about his family home in Iowa getting flattened by a tornado when he was a teen. He said it taught him that tough moments never last, but tough people do.
Schuller says his ministry had earned the trust of churchgoers, and has also earned their help.
Citing debts of more than $43 million, the organization declared bankruptcy last week.

Today's Woot Write-up
Bedding sets are to a bed what a fatality is to a fighting game: the ultimate finishing move.
If you were to defeat your opponent with a simple uppercut, you'd be the winner... but would you be the champion? And if you fell asleep on a bare mattress, you'd be sleeping... but would you be sleeping? The answer to both confusing questions is no.
The bedding set is the confident finishing move of a champion in the world of bed combat. The bedding set is the excessive cut-screen based special, or the fireball chain that can't be blocked, or the weird visual where somebody grows six arms and throws the other guy through the moon. The bedding set says that you've gone above and beyond the need for simple sheets and blankets. The bedding set says you're so good at what you do, you can start concentrating on flair.
Wanna be a sleep champion? You're gonna need at least one 8-Piece Bedding set.

We've been very happy with the quality, color & sound of the original episodes on blu-ray.
In fact, it seemed to me, at first, to really be just another way for more money to be milked out of both the fans and the series.
Even though I have already seen every episode of the original series, I love watching them as if it were the first time.
Was exactly as shown. Only complaint was it didn't come with digital codes, but otherwise completely happy with this purchasePublished 4 hours ago by Kelsey Stanley

Baylen Brown
Position: Guard
Ht./Wt.: 6-4, 293
Class-Exp.: So.-1L
High school: San Antonio O'Connor
Last year: Brown advanced quickly enough to forgo a redshirt year by the third game. He wound up playing in 11 games and starting the last three against Baylor, Texas and Arizona State.

One of Texas Tech's preferred walk-ons is Braden Marusak, a son of former Red Raiders defensive back Dean Marusak who lettered from 1985-88. Braden Marusak was first-team all-District 3-4A for Amarillo in 2012 and second-team all-District 3-4A last year.
He's listed at 6-3, 192 pounds and learning the Raider outside linebacker spot. He played safety for the Sandies.

Tech coaches will evaluate Ohio State transfer Mike Mitchell at middle linebacker as he begins his time with the Red Raiders.
Mitchell was ranked a top-10 recruit in Texas and a top-60 player in the nation by 247Sports.com when he signed with Ohio State in February 2013. The Plano Prestonwood Christian graduate redshirted last season and transferred to Tech in June to be back closer to home.
Mitchell is sitting out this season, so coaches have plenty of time to decide where they want to use him.

The next few weeks are important for Texas Tech's Josh Outlaw. What he shows in preseason practice will determine whether he's a genuine, game-time backup early this season or just No. 2 on the depth chart.
Outlaw, a 6-foot-4, 295-pound redshirt freshman, is Tech's second-string left tackle behind newcomer Dominique Robertson. But should Robertson or right tackle Reshod Fortenberry get hurt in a game, it's likely line coach Lee Hays would move right guard Le'Raven Clark outside and tap his surplus of guards.

Texas Tech running backs coach Mike Jinks and his wife, Meredith, had their third child on May 21, a son they named Tristan.
The newborn, along with the Jinkses' 8-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter, has made the Tech coach introspective.
"I started late," said Jinks, who is 42. "Most guys my age have kids playing in high school, making their way to college. I've got little ones at home and, really, it's given me, over the last couple of years, a different perspective.

Pro teams don't invest much of their payroll to fill certain positions — think kickers and punters in the NFL, low-leverage relief pitchers in the major leagues. The same goes for college football teams, who seldom sign players at certain positions to scholarship agreements straight out of high school.
Texas Tech figures it can find big blocking backs by sorting through non-marquee players on the roster.

As of late afternoon Tuesday, Texas Tech had about 100 tickets left on sale for the Red Raiders' Nov. 1 home game against Texas.
The tickets are in section 13 at the north end of Jones AT&T Stadium.
Tech spokesman Blayne Beal said Texas returned 500 tickets of its allotment and did not need 1,300 tickets Tech had reserved for the Showband of the Southwest, because it's bringing only a pep band. Nearly all those 1,800 tickets have already been sold, Beal said.

Texas Tech went through its first workout of the preseason Monday in pleasant early evening conditions. Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury reiterated that an NCAA rule change allowing coaches to provide two hours of weekly instruction to players makes a difference.
"It was good, spirited," Kingsbury said. "We moved around pretty good. We can tell this summer, being able to meet with them really helped. They were following along a lot better than last year. That's encouraging."

Texas Tech guard Cody Hayes is expected to miss significant time and possibly the season with a shoulder injury he suffered during summer weight training, line coach Lee Hays said Monday.
If the injury requires surgery, Hayes would be out for the year.
Losing Hayes doesn't significantly hurt the team's depth, given that he's a young player not in the two-deep and the team has five or six solid options at guard. But Tech coaches like the 6-foot-4, 306-pound redshirt freshman from Fort Worth Western Hills.
By: Don Williams on August 4, 2014 - 10:05pm - Add new comment
The look of Texas Tech's rushing game could change somewhat this year, given that smaller, shiftier backs are likely to get a lot higher percentage of the carries.
With two-time rushing leader Kenny Williams expected to play defense primarily, junior DeAndre Washington becomes the feature back with sophomore Quinton White and freshman signees Justin Stockton and Demarcus Felton vying for time.
None weigh more than about 200 pounds, a big difference from the 228-pound Williams.

Utah health department to offer free screenings to uninsured
SALT LAKE CITY — Uninsured and underserved Utahns will have a chance to assess their health this summer, as the Utah Department of Health partners with community groups and clinics to offer free screenings.
Throughout the summer, the health department's Office of Health Disparities' Bridging Communities and Clinics Outreach Team will help facilitate screenings for blood glucose and cholesterol, hypertension, body mass index, as well as for other health risk factors. The intent is to provide appropriate health services for communities that lack access.
The team was launched as a pilot project last year, providing 883 screenings during 24 events offered through a network of 12 clinics and 22 community partners.
Sixty-one percent of people served in 2012 were uninsured and more than 17 percent hadn't seen a physician in more than three years, according to the team's report. The majority of those visits occurred during a community-based health fair or other similar event.
The report, a result of participant surveys, also indicates that just more than 11 percent hadn't previously received a medical checkup.
"All the screenings that Bridging Communities and Clinics offers are urgently needed by our people," said Ivoni Nash, of the National Tongan American Society. "But many do not know where to go and this program gives them referrals to a clinic so they can get the help they need."
Hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes diagnoses were the most common health issues found among screening participants. Each is a condition best managed with routine health care, which is out of reach for many, as the average annual household income was less than $50,000 among participants.
Ethnic and racial minorities in Utah bear disproportionate burdens of health conditions and the pilot program proved to be effective in reaching individuals from such underrepresented and economically disadvantaged communities.
The team's report reveals that 87 percent of participants indicated a nonwhite, minority background.
Last year's participants also noted a marked increase in their awareness of health conditions for which they may be at risk.
"I am thrilled to be a part of this program because it feels like we're really making a difference for these communities that need health care so badly," said Dulce Lisle, an intern with the program.
The summer screenings are offered by people like Lisle, who are studying in health sciences fields. Many have multicultural backgrounds and speak more than one language to facilitate better care for participants.
If problems or health issues are uncovered during screenings, volunteers will assist participants in finding affordable primary care at clinics that offer free, reduced-cost or income-based services. Eligibility workers will also be on hand to help qualified individuals apply for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, if needed.
Screenings begin Thursday, June 13. For a complete list of events, held throughout the summer from Ogden to Oakley, visit www.utahmulticulturalhealth.blogspot.com.

It is important to know that homeopathy is not herbal medicine.
Homeopathic remedies are proven safe and efficacious by 200 years of use in hundreds of millions of people around the world and through 100's of studies. These medicines, in and of themselves, do not have the capability to do harm. They are proven safe for pregnant women, children and infants.
Homeopathic remedies are prepared from natural sources--animal, mineral and plant. They are potentized (i.e., serially diluted and succussed according to strict pharmacy standards, either Hahnemann or Korsakof, adhering to HPUS standards.

Thats right, it isn't herbal medicine as herbal medicine has active ingredients while homeopathy is just water and totally ineffective.

"Using market samples of metal-derived medicines from reputable manufacturers, we have demonstrated for the first time by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction and chemical analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), the presence of physical entities in these extreme dilutions, in the form of nanoparticules of the starting metals and their aggragates."

It is the lack of "active ingredient" and in its original form that makes homeopathy safe.
If homeopathy is not effective, how is it that homeopaths have documented records proving that homeopathy cures chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes,
see www.hpathy.com (search "Dr. Bhatia diabetes", "clinical cases", "Ask the Doctor") or google "homeopathy cured cases"
or that homeopathy cures brain tumors?

They lied? Misdiagnosis? No follow up?- Iqbal who worked with a homeopath for 9 years stated they classed a patient as "cured" when they di not come back. It never occurred to him the patient did not come back because they sort real treatment elsewhere or they died due to untreated illness.

The molar limit
If one begins with a solution of 1 mol/L of a substance, the 10-fold dilution required to reduce the number of molecules to less than one per litre is 1 part in 1×10 to the 24th (24X or 12C) since:
6.02×10 to the 23rd/1×10 to the 24th = 0.6 molecules per litre
Homeopathic dilutions beyond this limit are unlikely to contain a single molecule of the original substance. Assuming pure water has been used as a diluent, then dilutions beyond 14C are unlikely to contain any molecules of water used to make the original solution.
A popular homeopathic treatment for the flu is a 200C dilution of duck liver, marketed under the name Oscillococcinum. As there are only about 10 to the 80th atoms in the entire observable universe, a dilution of one molecule in the observable universe would be about 40C. Oscillococcinum would thus require 10 to the 320th more universes to simply have one molecule in the final substance.

You know that's not what he said. What's the matter, can't handle an honest debate?
I asked this on the other thread, let's see if you'll answer it here.
If I wanted to achieve the same dilution as a 30C homeopathic remedy in one step instead of 30, and I started with 1 cubic centimeter (1 "cc") of medicine, how much water would I need to achieve the appropriate dilution?
It's really pretty easy math.
Care to guess?
I'll even help you with the math if you like.

I noted there that most first time patients came with reference of earlier patients who had got well !!! This you cannot understand or dont want to understand?
How many doctors is any of you aware of, who follow up on their patients to find out if he has got well?

This is a result of homeopathy exclusively being used to treat things which don't require treatment.
If you have a sore shoulder and do nothing, it goes away in a couple of days.
If you have a sore shoulder and take a homeopathic remedy, it goes away in a couple of days.
The "remedy" isn't magic.
Still waiting on that answer for the 1:30C volume of water. I'll help you with the math if it's too hard for you.

I dont think so that herbal remedies have any side effects. Homeopathic remedies are known as best natural way to treat the patient from hundreds of years. Homeopathy remedies are prepared for patients through natural resources like mineral or plants.
I have taken treatment for anxiety from DRSS health center which is a well known homeopathic center in India. Treatment results of this homeopathic center are well oriented. I believe in homeopathy more than other treatment aspect.

Many prescription drugs are poison. Ever read or hear about some of the side effects that can come with taking those drugs? Obviously there are dangers with almost everything in life, but why would anyone want to risk taking a prescription med that could cause serious side effects resulting in other health problems including even death!? There are many drugs we can simply do without, perhaps not all of them, but many of them don't do much good if at all and compromise our health in other ways. Patients often can't tolerate these powerful drugs for very long and many can't tolerate them at all.

Removing Nails From Linoleum Containing Asbestos
I have some flooring in my basement that presumably contains asbestos, that was likely installed when the house was built in 1939. There's a small section about 5' x 3' from which we need to remove shelving that was nailed into the tile. The tile itself looks like old red and blue slate pieces cut like angled brick. It's very thin, and not square pieces or sheets, fitting together like a garden path. Very pretty. It feels like stone, but I guess old-school lino has a similar heft.
Some of the pieces have broken because the previous owner nailed wood shelving and some studs directly into the tile. I see a black underlay between the bottom of the tile and the concrete where a tile came up.
Do you think I can safely remove these nails just by keeping the floor wet? I won't be sanding, but there may be some breakage. Also, it should be noted that I only think it has asbestos because that's what the home inspector said when he saw the tiles poking out from under the vinyl stick-on tile which covers most of the floor.
Thank you so much for your help!
Linoleum is a heavy duty sheet flooring made of linseed oil and ground cork with a burlap backing that is still sold by Armstrong. It is highly unlikely that this material would have asbestos in it because it was thick, flexible and relied on the organic backing for reinforcing instead of asbestos fibers.
Unfortunately, many people, even home inspectors, don't feel the need to refer to materials by their true names and that makes it difficult to discuss the subject on the internet without a photo. The generic name for these materials has been "resilient flooring" since the 60's.
Possible asbestos-containing materials are pre-1950 9x9 asphalt-asbestos tiles in dark colors (often cut and used to make mosaic patterns) and the vinyl-asbestos (PVC) tile and sheet flooring made between 1950 and 1985. The vinyl part of these materials is "nonfriable" meaning fibers do not easily get into the air.
Damaging the paper-like backing of vinyl-asbestos sheet flooring or sanding the face of any asbestos containing tile is about the only way to get asbestos fibers into the air so pulling nails should not be a problem ... but it can't hurt to wear a good particulate mask and clean up afterward.
Until you know otherwise you should assume the flooring is asphalt-asbestos tile cut in an easily recognized mosaic pattern. Linoleum can also be cut into mosaic patterns and is also easily recognized.

Although the U.S. Constitution states that impoverished citizens cannot be jailed because of their inability to pay fines and other debts, a church music director in Alabama and his wife were jailed because they were incapable of paying court costs that stemmed from expired license plate violations.
Tim Fugatt, a music pastor at Valley View Church of God in Sylacauga, and his wife, Kristy, were going through a financially tough time in December of 2010 when they were both pulled over and cited for having expired license plates in the town of Childersburg.
The couple had recently found out that their new-born son, Cole, was diagnosed with a rare brain disease that forced them to keep their son in the hospital. With Kristy not working, and Tim living off a modest church music director pay, the two appeared in Childersburg municipal court and pled for the judge to rule them "not guilty" and explained the situation with their son and their financial struggles. more >>

Athletics: Mum's the word as Kelly soars again
Poignant incentive for Sotherton on the road from Glasgow to Melbourne gold
Sunday 22 January 2006
There will be some 4,000 pairs of eyes trained directly on Kelly Sotherton when she launches her competitive preparations for the Commonwealth Games with a double shift for the Commonwealth Select team in the Norwich Union International at the Kelvin Hall indoor arena in Glasgow on Saturday. The one spectator she hopes to impress most of all, though, will be watching long-distance - via television from her home at Ryde on the Isle of Wight.
Yvonne Sotherton is unable to follow her daughter's track and field career at first-hand because of the condition which caused her right leg to be amputated below the knee in April last year. She suffers from lupus, a severe inflammatory disease, and nine months after losing her limb, she still requires surgery and has yet to be fitted with a suitable prosthetic.
"She's facing the prospect of having another operation, a third one, which is not very good really," Kelly reflected. "The NHS have been crap, to be honest. She's not really any further on than she was nine months ago, but her spirits are high. If I perform well, it'll keep her happy. And if you keep someone else happy, it's happy heart, healthy heart, isn't it?"
Sotherton junior was raised single-handedly by her mother on the Isle of Wight and says her lone parent has always been blessed with a "warrior spirit". Her own competitive instincts have taken her from number 57 in the world heptathlon rankings for 2003 to Olympic bronze in 2004 and European indoor pentathlon silver in 2005. She might have suffered a dip at the World Championships in Helsinki last August, with a disastrous javelin throw (33.09m, 7m short of her best) which dropped her from third to fifth, but the late-flowering Channel Islander is determined to remedy the obvious weakness in her all-round athletic armoury and to add Commonwealth gold to her medal collection in Melbourne in March.
"It was just that one event which completely let me down in Helsinki," Sotherton lamented. "It was really disappointing. I should have won the bronze medal, easily. Overall, though, I have to reflect that it was a good championship for me because I came fifth in the heptathlon and eighth in the long jump, which people forget. And it was my first World Championships. People forget that too. They seem to think I've been at this level for about five or six years, but I'm still learning."
At 29, Sotherton has spent the past 12 months learning the ropes as a coach. Since Charles van Commenee left the employ of UK Athletics in Birmingham to work as the performance director of the Dutch Olympic Association, she has directed her own coaching, enlisting expert help with certain aspects of preparing for the seven-event heptathlon - such as javelin throwing, in which she has been assisted by John Trower, the national coach, and also advised by Steve Backley, the former world record holder.
"I am learning from one of the best javelin coaches in the world and from one of the best- ever throwers," Sotherton said. "Last year I had to take a massive step back with my javelin. I had to learn a lot of new things. That's why I didn't throw as far. This year I hope that the things I learned in 2005 will come into play."
The one discipline in which Sotherton has made most notable progress has been the one in which she has coached herself unassisted. Van Commenee famously accused her of "running like a wimp" in the 800m in Athens but in Helsinki she ran the final event like a warrior inspired - holding off Carolina Kluft, the young Swede who has taken a stranglehold on the heptathlon since 2002, and earning an invitation to take part in Kelly Holmes' farewell race over the same distance. Her personal best came down from 2min 12.13sec to 2:07.94 last year. "I must be quite a good coach, then," Sotherton mused, chuckling at the thought.
Over two days of competition in the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March, the budding coach hopes to become a major championship-winning athlete, following in the footsteps of her fellow Birchfield Harrier and former training partner, Denise Lewis, who struck Commonwealth heptathlon gold in 1994 and 1998. In the world rankings for 2005, Sotherton was the highest-scoring heptathlete from a Commonwealth country by a margin of 124 points.
In the World Championships, though, she finished 50 points behind Margaret Simpson of Ghana, who effectively speared the bronze medal position (behind Kluft and Eunice Barber of France) with a mighty 56.36m in the javelin.
"Yeah, her strength is my weakness," Sotherton pondered. "She's only beaten me once in the last three years and I hope it won't happen again. And that was me being at my worst and her being at her best. But I'm not really thinking about other people. I'm just thinking about how I'm going to do. It's the only title that Carolina Kluft can't go for, so I'd like to think I could win it. Anything less than a win would be quite disappointing."
Kluft, however, still looms large on Sotherton's horizon in 2006. The focal point of the summer season is the European Championships in Gothenburg, where Kluft is scheduled to defend the heptathlon crown on home ground. With that over-riding objective in mind, the Swede announced on Friday that she would be cancelling her plans to compete in the indoor season, not wishing to risk aggravating a hamstring problem that has been troubling her in training. She had been due to face Sotherton in the long jump in Glasgow on Saturday.
"It would have been great to compete against Carolina," the Briton reflected, "but Jade Johnson is still in the long jump and I'm in the 60m hurdles as well. I'm sure they'll both be great competitions." And compelling long-distance viewing for Yvonne Sotherton, of course.
Mental strength is a must over seven events in a heptathlon. Sotherton showed her mettle with a brilliant third-time long-jump effort after two fouls in Athens.
Both aerobic and anaerobic fitness are needed for sprinting 200m and running 800m, and Sotherton improved dramatically in the longer event last year.
A combination of physical strength and technical expertise is required for the javelin and shot. The javelin cost a World Championship medal but Sotherton's shot putting is relatively solid.
Flexibility, particularly in the hip region, is vital for the hurdling, high jumping and long jumping events - three disciplines in which Sotherton excels.
Sotherton's long, powerful thighs give her the natural speed she utilises not just in the 200m but also in the high hurdles, the long jump and the 800m.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Russia's highest court ruled on Monday that a hard-won deal to join the World Trade Organization (WTO) that will oblige Moscow to cut import tariffs and open up key sectors in its economy to foreign investment was in line with the constitution.
The ruling, issued by the Constitutional Court in a unanimous decision from its headquarters in St Petersburg, clears the way for a final parliamentary vote to ratify entry into the 155-member global trade rules club.
That vote will take place on Tuesday with a majority of lawmakers expected to rubber-stamp accession. The original deal was clinched last December after 18 years of often-difficult talks.
Russia, whose $1.9 trillion economy is the largest outside the WTO, would become a full member 30 days after ratification.
The court's ruling quashed a case brought by lawmakers from the opposition Communist and Just Russia parties who had unsuccessfully argued that the ratification procedure and parts of the accession deal were unconstitutional.
Recently elected for a third presidential term, President Vladimir Putin had long appeared ambivalent over WTO entry but warmed to the process after Russia's economy was hit hard by the global recession of 2008-09.
According to a World Bank study, the growth uplift that Russia could expect from joining the WTO could be 3.3 percent over the medium term and as much as 11 percent in the long run.
Under the deal, Russia would gradually cut average import tariffs to 7.8 percent from 10 percent and open up investment in sectors such as telecommunications, while shielding its banking sector from overall foreign control.
Russia managed to protect hefty subsidies to promote its domestic auto industry and negotiated a long transitional period for reducing state aid to farmers.

We stayed one night at Seggie Farm during a trip through Scotland. Susan made us feel welcome and she is a very friendly person. She gave us a lot of tips what to visit during our stay and even brought us fresh apple pie when we came home in the evening. The room was very clean and nice. Because it was quite cold that day, Susan turned on the heating for us. The breakfast was very good and gave us a great start. We would totally recommend this place and would come back.
I had a wonderful stay at Seggie Farm whilst in St Andrews for an academic conference. The room was clean and spacious. I was greeted with a plate of cakes on arrival and having arrived back late the second evening, found another plate in my room! Susan is a very kind and friendly host. For breakfast, there was all you could want and (website hidden) Andrews is only a short bus ride away. All in all, great value for money!
Susan was the perfect hostess...always with a cheery attitude and a big smile. She made us feel very comfortable and at home at her B&B .
Her breakfasts were cooked to order and there were unlimited choices and varieties of foods. She even encouraged us to try 'black pudding' which really wasn't bad.
The location was perfect as it was a very good neighbourhood and within less than 5 miles in proximity to the University where my daughter attends school.
Susan was an extremely friendly and outgoing host that helped us make the most of our very short stay in St. Andrews. The room was clean and as described, and we appreciated the frank advice about what to do and what to avoid in the city. We also appreciated the delicious breakfast that she prepared. Look forward to staying here again if I am ever back in St. Andrews!
Susan was a delightful host & the house & room were immaculate. She was a real help in getting us settled pointing out local attractions on a map & even gave us special treats when arriving. I couldn't reccomend Seggie Farm enough.
We had a delightful stay at Seggie Farm. Susan was very friendly, and we had a lovely, spacious room, with great views of the adjacent farmland. Highly recommended.
As soon as we arrived Susan was there with a warm greeting. She was happy to assist with places to visit while at St Andrews and then beyond.
The listing was exactly as stated if not more. Nice sized bed and bathroom both of which were very clean upon arrival.
Our room had a beautiful view of the neighbourhood and was very quiet making it ideal for a good nights rest.

Belva Martin, Government Accountability Office
A group of foreign nationals working on one of NASA's major projects found a way to choose their own security clearances to gain access to sensitive technologies. The way they did it was pretty simple. NASA just let them do it. Belva Martin is director of Acquisition and Sourcing Management Issues at the Government Accountability Office. In a new GAO report, she looks at NASA's supply chain security. She shared a few ways the agency can tighten up its grip on In Depth with Francis Rose.
Small government agencies have ground to make up in privacy, cybersecurity compliance
A new report from the Government Accountability Office suggests the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Management and Budget need to take a more active role in monitoring and guiding small agencies when it comes to their security and privacy-protection programs.
Debra Draper, Director of Health Care Issues, GAO
The Defense Department's showing negative side effects from a rough transition to a new healthcare contractor in the western United States. Those side effects are because of a 21-billion dollar contract award to a healthcare administration company new to the TRICARE system. Debra Draper is director of health care issues at the Government Accountability Office. She said on In Depth with Francis Rose that cost overruns and healthcare delays are cropping up because TRICARE management didn't pay close enough attention to the company's transition process.
Colleen Kelley, President, National Treasury Employees Union
An early House version appropriations language for 2015 would bring the IRS budget below sequestration levels in fiscal 2015. Earlier this week, the Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government approved funding levels that are more than $300 million below what the agency has to spend this year. IRS officials have been adamant that even that level is far too low. The bill comes right after warnings from the Government Accountability Office for the IRS to make some long term budget plans to better deal with an uncertain financial future. Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, is looking at what the cuts would mean for agency operations and the workforce. She tells In Depth with Francis Rose these cuts go too far. Read related article by Federal News Radio's Stephanie Wasko.
DoD needs updated cost savings data when considering furloughs
A new Government Accountability Office report says the Pentagon needs more comprehensive information about potential cost savings when it considers implementing future administrative furloughs.

GSA ends office supplies 2 contract; faces new protest on version 3
Vendors protested GSA's desire to extend the Office Supplies 2 contract for six more months. GSA says agencies can buy office supplies through the multiple award schedules. National Industries for the Blind protests the OS3 contract to the agency, not to GAO.
Chris Mihm, Managing Director for Strategic Issues, GAO
The second batch of cross agency performance goals is up on Performance.gov. As agencies plan how to meet them, the Government Accountability Office says silos that prevent meeting those goals are still in place. Chris Mihm is managing director for strategic issues at the Government Accountability Office. He said on In Depth with Francis Rose that understanding the GPRA Modernization Act's point is important to understanding how to hit the cross agency goals.
Crosse shines light on FDA's regulatory challenges overseas
For her efforts in raising awareness of the regulatory challenges the Food and Drug Administration was facing due to globalization, the Partnership for Public recently named GAO's Marcia Crosse as one of the finalists for the 2014 Citizen Services Medal.
Marcia Crosse, Government Accountability Office
The Service to America Medals honor federal employees who go above and beyond their job descriptions to serve the public. Federal News Radio will be speaking to the finalists. As the director of healthcare at the Government Accountability Office, Marcia Crosse has drawn Congress' attention to needs at the Food and Drug Administration. Her boss says she's been at the forefront of her field: identifying needed improvements in the oversight of medical products. In part because of her work, the FDA now has more tools to regulate drugs and medical devices from overseas. Crosse is a finalist in the citizen services category of the 2014 Sammies awards. She joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss the data she analyzes. Read a Q&A with Marcia Crosse.
IRS to use more data to prepare for long-term budget uncertainty
The Government Accountability Office recommended the IRS develop long-term strategies and use ROI data comparisons to better operate with a less-than-ideal budget.
Are agencies meeting cross-agency goals? OMB reviews make it hard to tell
The Office of Management and Budget's assessment of cross-agency priority (CAP) goals could use improvement, according to a Government Accountability Office report published Tuesday. GAO found many of the reviews lacked relevant information, such as time frames for particular goals and the status of ongoing efforts.
Report: CHCOs left out of agency decisions
The Government Accountability Office tells Chief Human Capital Officers to communicate with human-capital staff and coordinate with other agencies to champion shared challenges.
DHS cancels $6 billon program to detect bioweapons, with no Plan B
After six years, the Department of Homeland Security decided in April to abandon its strategy to upgrade biological weapon detection equipment in large U.S. cities. But there is no backup plan so far, and the current system won't last much longer. To date, DHS says it has actually expended only $61 million on Biowatch 3, and officials told the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday that they are moving quickly to come up with a new acquisition plan.
Robert Goldenkoff, Government Accountability Office
Your deadline is coming soon to tell your boss what you think of your job. Friday is the last day to fill out your Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey from the Office of Personnel Management. The data from those surveys will shape human resources policy across government. But the Government Accountability Office says chief human capital officers have other options to build and strengthen their workforces. Robert Goldenkoff is director of strategic issues at the GAO. He tells Federal News Radio's Francis Rose on In Depth about three broad human capital challenges facing agencies across the federal government.
GAO denies latest protest of Office Supplies 3 solicitation
Lawyers say GSA's analysis of the impact of OS3 on small businesses met the requirements under the Small Business Jobs Act.
More problems with VA scheduling systems revealed
The electronic wait system for keeping track of and monitoring initial primary-care appointments for new patients at Veterans Affairs medical facilities is not the only scheduling system at VA that's now under scrutiny. A separate system for monitoring VA patients' access to outpatient specialty care -- such as cardiologists, gastroenterologists and physical therapists is also "unreliable," according to GAO's Debra Draper, who testified before the House Veterans Affairs Committee Monday evening.
Protests force GSA to suspend governmentwide use of Office Supplies 2 contract
Eleven vendors submitted protests to GAO over GSA's desire to extend the OS2 contract another six months. The contractors say GSA's extension would violate the Small Business Jobs Act because they didn't do a contract consolidation impact assessment.
Ron Schechter & Kristen Ittig, Arnold and Porter, LLP
More contractors than ever are losing their government business to suspension and debarment. The Government Accountability Office reports even agencies that don't have much history of suspensions and debarments filed 14 times more cases since 2010. Ron Schechter and Kristen Ittig, partners at Arnold and Porter, are looking at the rising trend of suspension and debarment cases and what it means for contractors doing business with federal agencies.
Congress joins the fray as protests mount over strategic sourcing
Reps. Grace Meng and Tim Walberg introduce a provision in the Defense authorization bill to require GAO to study the impact of strategic sourcing on small businesses. GSA also is facing more than two dozen protests over its current and future office supplies contracts and now OASIS.

There is no communication from Senior Management at all. Everyone seems to be in a constant state of confusion. A lot of times oyu don't even see the headlights before you get thrown under a bus. A lot of finger pointing and favoritism is showed, and absolutely no loyalty to some of the hardworking folks that have been there over 2 decades.
