Jury: "It is the beginning of a long piece and they are already measuring, monitoring, and exceeding metrics. … They also engaged students and found a number of strategies they may not have otherwise found such as eliminating desktops for laptops, reducing vending machines, expanding the thermal comfort range. There was a cultural piece to it as well that complements the building design."
Architect: "This was about trying to make a really smart building that conserves space and energy and enhances human comfort. As an educational tool on its own, every class of students [was given a presentation] on how the building operates and how to interact with it properly. Now, a number of other institutions are touring the building to see how these measures can impact their buildings as well." —Timothy Eddy, AIA, founding principal, Hennebery Eddy Architects
Portland Community College (PCC) has an institutional goal to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, and the new Newberg Center serves as a living laboratory for looking at energy-use strategies that will help meet this goal. The 13,500-square-foot, net-zero-energy Newberg Center, designed by Hennebery Eddy Architects, is the first completed structure of PCC's masterplan for a 15-acre site in Newberg, Ore., which is roughly 60 miles inland from the Oregon coast. As such, the building is being used as a testing structure for new systems so that facilities personnel can become acquainted with the technologies and the systems' maintenance before they are applied on other buildings across PCC's three campuses and seven educational centers. PCC has a goal of making the entire Newberg campus net-zero energy, and future plans for the Newberg Center have it turning into a student union after additional buildings on site are completed.
Hennebery Eddy focused on four characteristics to reach net-zero energy: a highly efficient envelope, passive strategies, efficient systems, and user engagement. The site master plan consists of an open-space framework that centers on a quad at the heart of the campus.
The building envelope includes structurally insulated panels (SIPs) that provide a high R-value and reduce heat loss from thermal bridging and air infiltration. The natural ventilation louvers are equipped with double dampers to prevent drafts, and low evergreen shrubs were placed next to the building's natural ventilation louvers to assist with passive cooling.
Passive strategies include maximizing north and south building exposures, installing deep overhangs that control light and heat gain, installing concrete floors that provide thermal mass, and using natural ventilation. When outside temperatures dip below 55 F, heat-recovery ventilators condition fresh air, and the concrete slab circulates 90 F water through a closed-loop radiant system in the slab that then radiates heat to the building occupants. In warmer months, ceiling fans provide a 3 F drop in ambient temperature and use a fraction of the energy of a traditional air-conditioning unit. Ventilation stacks are used as an organizing element in the building, and spaces are located around a central circulation spine with three classrooms and an administrative suite on the north side and multipurpose rooms on the south. A 109-kilowatt rooftop PV array meets the center's remaining energy needs.
Lighting loads were kept low as common skylights and acoustical ceiling tiles are combined in a sloped system designed to wash the spaces with diffused daylight and eliminate the need for electric lights during the day. Automated controls dim lights in response to daylight levels, and occupancy sensors turn off lighting when spaces are not in use. The classrooms and commons are bordered by large panes of frosted glass that allow light to pass through while minimizing visual distraction.
Throughout the design process, the team met with faculty and staff about their role in meeting the net-zero-energy aspirations, and held regular meetings with community neighbors, city officials, and future students. A member of the facilities department was included on the building commitment to provide insight on how to make the design more maintenance-friendly, and a round table was held with facilities maintenance staff after each project milestone to review the design and gather feedback.
The Newberg Center is now in an 18-month process of measuring and verifying performance with the Energy Trust of Oregon.

Seattle barista fired over snarky blog
Tuesday - 2/12/2013, 8:10pm EST
SEATTLE (AP) -- A Seattle barista says it was all satire, but his anonymous blog that made snarky comments about his boss and the customers he didn't like got him fired.
Matt Watson was exposed as the author of the blog "Bitter Barista" this week by another coffee site called Sprudge.com, which led his boss at All City Coffee in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood to fire him, The Seattle Times reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/12JzCNF).
In the blog, the 30-year-old wrote that his vocabulary is too complex for his boss to understand. He also wrote about not serving customers what they ordered.
For example:
-- "If you remind me four times that you've ordered decaf, guess what you won't be getting ... "
-- "I would remember your usual drink if you were a more memorable person."
-- "I like to use a lot of big words when I tweet, that way if my boss ever finds my twitter account, he won't understand any of it."
Watson said his blog was satire and that he was just accentuating the "5 percent who I guess make our job more difficult and don't treat us as human beings."
"I had a good personal relationship with 95 percent of customers," he said. Watson added he thought very highly of his boss, Seth Levy.
Watson said baristas are "probably an artist, overqualified, people with pretty much college education across the board."
The New Jersey native has a bachelor's degree in philosophy and moved to Seattle "following a girl."
He worked at All City Coffee to make ends meet while pursuing a career as a hip hop artist under the moniker "Spekulation." On his site, Watson has released several songs in which he raps.
Watson started his Bitter Barista blog about two weeks ago, but it was getting a couple of thousand hits a day. He made no mention of All City Coffee or his real name on the site. But the operators of Sprudge.com put it together after Watson said what he was doing in his Spekulation tweets, The Seattle Times reported.
Sprudge.com ousted Watson on Thursday: "There's a lot of anger in this blog, and while we love the well-worn barista clich

Field Seminar
As part of the workshop program, a geological field excursion has been planned and will take the participants to the following two locations: Exposures at Enjefa Beach, Salwa District, Kuwait and Exposures at Jal Az-Zor, North Kuwait
This field seminar offers an excellent opportunity for the students to walk on a variety of modern terrigenous clastic depositional systems while observing sedimentary processes, modern sedimentary structures, and numerous trenches illuminating the three-dimensional architecture of each area.
The seminar focuses on the lithologic variations that characterize clastic reservoir facies and on development of models that can be used to predict these variations in the subsurface.
For those who have not visited the region previously (or have not had the chance to tour it in depth), this field seminar will provide a comprehensive journey into the geological story of this fascinating landscape.
This two-day field trip will review the geologic history in context with the past and present petroleum exploration in the North Park-Middle Park Basin (or Colorado Headwaters Basin, CHB) in Northcentral Colorado.
During this two-day field trip, we will examine classic exposures of the Middle to Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian to Campanian) strata in the Southern Denver Basin near Pueblo, Colorado.
This one-day field trip will examine how the Golden Thrust System builds Denver's mountain front between Turkey Creek and Coal Creek.
This field trip will explore the outcrops in this Front Range area with the hope that participants will come away with new concepts and insights into how the Rocky Mountains were formed.
This two-day trip will visit outcropping reservoir rocks and structures that typify the framework of the prolific Rocky Mountains petroleum province. The drive from Denver to Casper and return will transect numerous basement uplifts and foreland basins.
This four-day field trip will begin with a drive from Denver to Glenwood Springs and a road log describing the general geology along Interstate 70 (I-70), as well as an overview stop in Rifle to introduce the Wasatch and Green River systems. It will focus on two themes: observing the characteristics of a wide variety of sedimentary environments and comparing these with subsurface data.
This six-day field seminar is designed to provide participants with an appreciation of the broad range of deep-water reservoir facies, the mechanisms by which they were deposited, their predictive attributes, their reservoir heterogeneity and their stratigraphic architecture.
The field seminar develops and evaluates the sequence stratigraphic framework and controls on location and reservoir character of Upper Miocene-Pliocene carbonate sequences from a variety of carbonate systems within the context of the regional paleogeography.
The attendee will gain a working knowledge concerning how faults and fractures develop and their terminology, methodologies utilized in collecting and analyzing fracture data, characteristics of faults and fractures that affect the sedimentary units (including black shales) in the northern Appalachian Basin of New York state, and tectonics that led to the formation of the structures in the northern Appalachian Basin and the adjacent Appalachian Orogen.
This field seminar will give participants an overview about the geology, reservoir engineering and operation aspects of the Lodgepole-Bakken-Three Forks Petroleum System. Excellent outcrops illustrate how facies, reservoir properties and rock strength can vary along a lateral well bore. Engineers, geologists and operators will find this especially interesting.
Participants will explore a number of classic geological sites that affected the Lewis and Clark expedition in Montana on this six-day excursion.
The Hay River region in the Northwest Territories is one of the best locations in North America for the examination of Devonian carbonates, and the Pine Point mine site is one of the best localities for viewing the fabrics and geometries associated with hydrothermal dolomitization.
Participants will examine illustrative outcrops of thrusts, fault-related folds, stratal architectures and facies of depositional systems affected by growing structures, which are good analogues for hydrocarbon reservoirs. Objectives include interpreting complex thrust structures, identifying and understanding strain and fracture systems in fold-thrust belts, and analyzing patterns of growth strata in areas with synsedimentary folding.
Participants will learn a specific and comprehensive methodology for finding and developing conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources associated with lake deposits. The seminar will start with the Quaternary Bonneville basin in Utah, to build familiarity with lacustrine depositional processes. Participants then examine world-famous exposures of organic-rich mudstone, fluvial sandstone, and carbonate microbialite facies in Wyoming.
Participants will learn through the use of spectacular outcrops, subsurface datasets, and stratigraphic modeling how these systems tracts and key surfaces (flooding surfaces and sequence boundaries) may be recognized.
The main part of the field seminar will focus on the description of the fractured carbonates and the extrapolation from the outcrop observations to the subsurface for building geologically plausible reservoir models.
Short Course
This course is designed to introduce basic NMR interpretation to those professionals who are less experienced and interested in applications rather than the theory.
This course is an introductory course in shale reservoir evaluation. It includes reservoir geology in terms of depositional facies, mineralogy, fractures, and rock type delineation.
This course is an introduction to the heterogeneous nature of shales and mudstones and provides guidance on how to work effectively with these complex lithologies.
Here is an introduction to the tools and techniques that geologists and geophysicists use to locate gas and oil, that drillers use to drill the wells and that petroleum engineers use to test and complete the wells and produce the gas and oil. Exercises throughout the course provide practical experience in well log correlation, contouring, interpretation of surface and subsurface, contoured maps, seismic interpretation, well log interpretation, and decline curve analysis.
This course assumes no logging knowledge and seeks to establish an understanding of basic petrophysical measurements and interpretation techniques which can be applied to routine tasks, and upon which more complex and advanced information and interpretive techniques can be built. It strives to provide a strong and coherent foundation for the understanding of other, specialized interpretation techniques involving well log data.
The overall goal of this course is to provide tools for efficient and effective re-exploration and development. It uses a two-part approach. First it uses petrophysical analysis to understand all that can be derived from examination of standard open-hole logs. This is followed by integrated approaches to discover key factors controlling oil and gas distribution in carbonate reservoirs in the greater Midcontinent USA. Methodologies and workflows reviewed include geosteering and evaluation of horizontal wells and optimizing carbon storage utilization and management.
This course provides an overview of the petroleum industry and upstream economics, beginning with the geoscientist's role of evaluating uncertainty in E&P, estimating prospect resources, and estimating chances of success. The course then moves on to field development scenarios and cash flow models, developing various capital budgeting economic indices to evaluate and rank various prospective field projects, production and reservoir management for producing fields and international contract arrangements and emerging trends.
This course presents the concepts and practical applications of sequence stratigraphy for petroleum exploration.
This course is an introduction to the Bakken/Three Forks resource play. The play has proven to be economic and successful for many operators. A wide range of topics will be covered to familiarize the participant with the important nuances of the Bakken and Three Forks.
The short course is designed to help the participant understand their communication "style", its strengths and blind spots and how to best leverage their strengths to make more of an impact on their team. The emphasis on self-awareness helps participants understand what changes they could make in communication to be better understood.
This course is intended for industry professionals who desire a firm foundation in carbonate rocks. Most sedimentology and stratigraphy courses focus on siliciclastic rocks while giving only cursory treatments of carbonates. With carbonate reservoirs containing approximately half of the world's oil and gas, a better understanding of these complex rocks is highly desirable. Participants should have some background in sedimentology and stratigraphy.
This workshop combines interactive lectures and exercises addressing the expression of depositional sequences in mudstones on seismic, well-log, core and outcrop data. Examples include in the course will include the Marcellus Shale, New Albany Shale, Barnett Shale, Shublik Formation, Kimmeridge Clay Formation, Kingak Formation, Hue Shale, Mowry Shale, and Monterey Formation.
This course is designed to teach graduate students the principles, concepts and methods of sequence stratigraphy. Sequence stratigraphy is an informal chronostratigraphic methodology that uses stratal surfaces to subdivide the stratigraphic record. This methodology allows the identification of coeval facies, documents the time-transgressive nature of classic lithostratigraphic units and provides geoscientists with an additional way to analyze and subdivide the stratigraphic record.
Black Belt Ethics examines the various tenants that define the martial artist's code of honor. The course reviews each of these tenants and discusses how they can be applied in our personal and professional lives.
This one-half day course will review core lithofacies of the Bakken Petroleum System in North Dakota and the Exshaw Petroleum System in the southern Alberta Basin with an emphasis on the Pronghorn Member of the Lower Bakken Shale and the underlying Three Forks Formation
This course will evaluate data from the nano- to macro-scale in order to show how different types of data can be integrated in the evaluation of sweet spots.
This course is designed for geologists who wish to interpret and explore lacustrine microbialites and associated carbonate facies for hydrocarbons, or just want to familiarize themselves with microbialites and lacustrine systems.
This course addresses the concepts and methods of petroleum reservoir characterization and modeling through lectures, exercises and case studies.
This course will address integration of source rock, produced oil and gas, and mud gas data to better understand and exploit 3-dimensional details of petroleum systems. Carbon isotope and oil biomarker geochemistry will be stressed as a way to determine quantity and type of generated hydrocarbons and migration distance and direction within source rock and tight oil plays.
This course is designed to enhance interpretation skill sets with regard to geologic interpretation of seismic data. The overall objective is to present methods for reducing risk with regard to prediction of lithology, reservoir compartmentalization and stratigraphic trapping potential in exploration and production.
This one-day course will review state-of-the-art techniques for characterizing mudrock reservoirs at the pore scale. Shale/mudrock structure and pore systems will be emphasized. It will conclude with applications of shale reservoir characterization using pore-scale imaging.
This course will focus on Cretaceous sandstones in the Powder River and D-J Basins, including the Turner, Codell, Shannon, Sussex, and Parkman Sandstones. Cores from both the USGS and company collections will be presented.
Geomechanics – in both completions and drilling operations – has become a critical technology in the development of Unconventional Plays. This course presents the basics of oil field geomechanics and its application to unconventional developments; specifically, the role of stress, pore pressure, mechanical properties, and natural fractures on hydraulic fracturing operations.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn all the aspects related to the understanding and modeling of fractured reservoirs. Attendees will take geologic concepts and use them in reservoir modeling through hands-on sessions devoted to the examination of outcrop, core and log data. They will use that information and a software to create 3D fractured reservoir models. Using actual Teapot Dome (Wyoming, USA) field data from the Tensleep and Niobrara Shale formations and a hands-on approach, the workshop allows the geoscientist to identify fractures and to construct predictive 3D fracture models that can be used to identify productive zones, plan wells and to create fracture porosity and permeability models for reservoir simulation.
This course is a non-numerical introduction to the use of geochemistry and BPSM to better understanding unconventional resources. This course is designed to provide participants with new information on unconventional and sweet spot identification that is not normally available in routine service company courses.
The conference will focus on several aspects of fractured reservoir characterization and it aims to bring together geoscientists and engineers from the industry and academia to share knowledge and lessons learned and to discuss options for future research.
Make plans to attend an AAPG Geosciences Technology Workshop (GTW) to be held in Wellington between 21-23 April, 2015. The workshop will comprise four half-day sessions focused on broad depositional environment settings. The aim is to better understand modern depositional systems, and how they can help us to better interpret ancient petroleum reservoirs.
All shale plays are different, and all shale plays shed light on other shale plays. Join experts to discuss world shale plays and share the "lessons learned" in dealing with a wide variety of lithologies, reservoir conditions, and degrees of heterogeneity.

Top Definition
Imagine the most beautiful technologically advanced town clean picture portrait landscapes, and the most friendliest people you could ever meet. Now forget all of that. Hellhole Mancos is the literal colon of the state of Colorado. The people here are deranged and eat walnuts and dandelions for lunch. The buildings all look like, because they are all mud huts. Even the U.S. Government denies the existence of this disgusting town. The name, Hellhole Mancos, came about when the rest of Colorado (even Pueblo) decided to build a prison off in the middle of the desert. Later, the prison grew so astronomically large that it formed its own makeshift town. It is said that those who travel to the far reaches of Hellhole Mancos never return. Legend has it that they too become utterly powerless and join the hive mind...Don't believe me? Google maps Mancos. It's a freakish desert in bumfuck nowhere. Just don't ever visit this town.
Do you realize why UPS only visits Hellhole Mancos once a week? Because UPS has to find a prisoner on death row and convince him not to kill himself on the way there.

Cain, Morton mark anniversaries in matchup
Giants righty perfect a year ago; Bucs hurler back from elbow surgery
One year ago Thursday, the emotions of starting pitchers Matt Cain and Charlie Morton were on opposite ends of the spectrum. As Morton prepared for career-altering Tommy John surgery, Cain jubilantly celebrated in the arms of his teammates at AT&T Park after twirling the first perfect game in Giants history, and just the 22nd in Major League history.
In Cain's masterpiece a year ago Thursday, he struck out 14 Astros hitters, which tied Sandy Koufax's mark for the most in a perfect game. His game score that day was 101, the highest for any pitcher since Kerry Wood recorded 105 in his 20-strikeout performance (also against the Astros) in 1998. Game score is a statistic that rates pitchers' starts (typically from 0 to 100) based on innings pitched, runs, hits, strikeouts and walks. The average game score is usually around 50.
While Cain has had an up-and-down season after his storybook 2012 campaign ended with a World Series championship, Morton is simply happy to be in the big leagues. It will be his 89th career Major League start, but Thursday's outing will mark the culmination of an eventful year-long journey.
His start against the Giants will be the first since undergoing Tommy John surgery 364 days ago, as Friday will mark the one-year anniversary of the operation.
"It's hard to describe," the 29-year-old right-hander said Wednesday. "I'm not really emotional right now. I think the biggest thing honestly was, the largest emotional event in the rehab, was the first bullpen. And the first [extended spring training] game, which was April 8. That's kind of like you're testing the waters a little bit and you can sense where you are. Tomorrow, yeah, I just appreciate it."
Morton, who posted a 1-2 record with a 3.32 ERA in 40 2/3 innings with three Pittsburgh Minor League affiliates this season, is replacing the injured Wandy Rodriguez in the Pirates rotation. Manager Clint Hurdle wouldn't elaborate on what the future holds for Morton after Thursday's start against a depleted Giants lineup that will not include regulars Angel Pagan, Pablo Sandoval or Marco Scutaro.
"I haven't seen [Morton]," Hurdle said. "I've seen video -- it's not the same, so I'm looking forward to seeing it. Actually, if we can go get the Charlie that we had in the first half of the season in 2011, we'll take that in a bottle and roll.
"I always get excited when these guys are able to come back. It's one day inside of a year from Tommy John. It's impressive in and of itself, but if he doesn't go out and pitch well, it's less impressive."
Giants: Struggles against the Central
After losing the first two games of the series with Pittsburgh, the Giants have fallen to 5-10 against the National League Central this season. Last year, San Francisco dispatched Central foes with regularity, winning 27 of 41 matchups, the second-best mark in the Senior Circuit to the Nationals.
The Giants have fallen to 12-20 on the road this season and have dropped 12 of their last 16 contests away from home.
Pirates: Setting the standard at home
Pittsburgh won its 23rd home game of the season Wednesday, the most of any NL team.
The Pirates have now won three in a row at home and 13 of their last 16 at PNC Park.
Worth noting
• Despite the ailments currently facing Giants manager Bruce Bochy's lineup, San Francisco scored eight runs and slugged 15 hits Wednesday, but lost as Barry Zito's road troubles continued. Bochy will return to the dugout after serving a one-game suspension handed down after Tuesday's ejection as the Giants try to avoid a sweep.
• Pirates closer Jason Grilli, who pitched a shutout inning Wednesday, was originally drafted by the Giants with the fourth overall pick of the 1997 Draft. He was traded to the Marlins two seasons later. He currently leads the league with 23 saves.
• Giants catcher Buster Posey has thrown out just six of 42 basestealers in 2013. Eighteen consecutive runners have stolen safely on him.

2012 Alpine Sufferfest2012 Alpine SufferfestSoooooooo....
Since noone's brought it up yet I thought I'd better get the ball rolling. Who's in? Who's wimping out? When and where are we going? I wouldn't mind doing the 3 peaks ride again, but it was a long drive from there over to Jindy, so that puts me off a bit. Chucky reckons I need to meet Tom this year. Sounds like a nice chap too, so I'd like to give that a crack. It'd be nice if we could have more of the uphill stuff with less of the descending- I hate descending. And last time I spoke to that Spiza bloke he reckoned he would be coming, so this might be your best chance to put Spiz in the hurtbox. Not an opportunity to be missed I say. Mind you he probably only needs to train for about 30km and he'll be back to his normal self. Cheers, Greg
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestHope to get down there to do the Jindy stuff at the very least
Wouldn't be too concerned about Spiz, even if he doesn't ride between now and then he'll still beat us to the top of every climb Our only problem will be getting him down there the guy loves to work FPR Ragamuffin
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestPICK ME PICK ME
when do you plan to go? i have the first 2 weeks off in Jan ( i am thinking off heading down for a few days and just slumming it in the tent). Will just stay at the caravan park in jindabyne and do the usual rides (charlotes pass, tommy etc) but would love to go down with the group also
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
Going to ride on your own down there in January Donny ?? FPR Ragamuffin
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
i am going to go down somewhere between the 3rd and 16th January. Will look at Radar and pick the best 3 or 4 days to go down. Solo at this stage but happy to have riding buddies
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestI was thinking of going in late Feb. Schools will be back but the weather hopefully will still warm and dry. I don't really feel like descending for an hour in pouring rain again.
You guys have all done this more times than me. Last year was different, but you usually just stay in Jindy for a few days don't you? I had a quick look and we might be able to get a decent house to stay at for about the same price as a couple of cabins at the caravan park. Cheers, Greg
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
That sounds a good option Greg if you can get something like that. Feb sounds good, as you say school's back, it's quieter and accommodation is cheaper. I think you can count the old fella as a starter (if not a finisher ) Would not mind ducking down in early Jan as well as Don proposes but that might be pushing my luck! FPR Jubilado Bludger
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestJust FYI the one place (5 bedroom house) I've looked at in Jindy for 4 nights accom is $550. IIRC the cabins we had last year were $90/ night and we had 2. Of course I'll burn up the $40/ night saved in fuel for my car
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestFor those interested in coming, but "out of the loop" so to speak, this hasn't been forgotten. Looks like we might be heading down in late Feb, but there's no solid dates yet.
Stay tuned.... Greg
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
Not usually one to quote myself, but if you were looking forward to putting some hurt on Spiz, you're too late. He found his bike again last week....
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
What's the dates you looking at Greg ? If all aligns for me then I'll hopefully join this years Snowies trip...
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
That would be cool Come on Greg whack a date up so I can start organising it with work FPR Ragamuffin
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest2 rides from the quick Jindy getaway
Charlottes Pass http://connect.garmin.com/activity/139234511 Jindy to thredbo to Dead Horse Gap to Tom Groggin to Geehi and return Bring your climbing legs and a packed lunch for this baby http://connect.garmin.com/activity/139234504 p.s. Sandy you owe me $3847 thats $1 for every bug stuck on my car
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
Doesn't look like you made it all the way to Geehi. Oh well, maybe next time
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
maybe not, but my bike did
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestJust to throw the suggestion out there, what about a couple of days at Bright instead of Jindy? We of course would have to do the 3 Peaks Challenge since that bastard remains unfinished, but there seems to be a few other rides around the area that might be OK too. Check out the rides listed on this link;
http://www.semainefederale.org.au/rides.html We could maybe do the Day 1 'Hard' ride around Lake Buffalo and the Day 3 'Hard' ride up Mt Buffalo. Not 100% sure of the roads down there, but there are some cycleways and the roads we were on last year were good. Just thought I'd throw it out there as Don and Sandy might find Jindy a bit 'old' since they've just come back Maybe it's a bit close to the time to plan a trip to Bright though, so might be a safer thing to just stick with Jindy. What do you guys reckon?
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
Several very attractive sounding rides there. I'd have no problems with going to Bright area again and as you say we have unfinished business to complete down there. FPR Jubilado Bludger
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
I reckon it's better when Sandy organises it no dithering FPR Ragamuffin
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
Me too Anyone heard from Sandman or Bandito?
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
Sandman cant make it Not spoken to Bandito
Re: 2012 Alpine Sufferfest
Bandito is super keen. Said would confirm once a date is set
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestJust to clarify, I'm planning on us going to Bright. We could do a half day ride up Mt Buffalo, another one around Lake Buffalo and the big ride will be the 3 Peaks Challenge ride. That little gem is still taunting me
Besides, Sandy didn't enjoy his last trip to Jindy Greg
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestAll systems go? Leave has been approved
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestLooks like we'll be needing the wet weather gear. Probably the warmers and stuff too.
I might just offer to drive the support vehicle for you guys Thankfully it's all wheel drive.
Re: 2012 Alpine SufferfestWill be tagging along so who needs a lift. Garmins & 27 tooth cassettes will have to go with someone else's car. Still up in the air about plastic frames too, might be ok with those not sure?. Does anyone need mudguards can probably match CRC & wiggle prices
DID ANYONE WITNESS SANDY THROW OUT HIS ALDI SEE THROUGH BARE ASS BIBS. Need to know so I can take real dark sunnies

Mrs S Foster (Club Member) stayed Aug 2013 This review is for Roundhill - New Forest Our family (2 adults and 4 children) have stayed at Roundhill over the last 9 years but that was our last I'm sorry to say. Beautiful scenery and setting but the people that stay there tend to be very loud and disrespectful to others. Many children are clearly left to the their own devices and happily upset other campers. Even our children were amazed at the actions of other children on the site and said they didn't want to stay here anymore. If you are happy to endure loud music (oh and the rangers don't seem to mind this), children running through your small area causing chaos (during the night as well - how wonderful...)then this is your campsite. Not for us anymore - it used to be a lovely place to come to but us as a family have noticed the downhill turn over the last three years. What a shame. Ashurst is definitely the better option as they seem to care there and soon put a stop to any annoyance going on. Far cleaner too.

We've never had a real problem with noisy campers, and to be honest, it adds the atmosphere and freedom you get staying at a forest campsite. Although the price is very high now (I remember when it was about £5 per night!) you still get a great break. And to be honest, the toilet blocks are not that bad, what do you expect in the middle of a forest and an AONB, at least they have showers now!!!

F. I wanted this to win! I REALLY wanted the mewithoutyou shirt! but like someone else said: please making shirts just like these last two, I'll keep voting.
Re: Canadian Periodic Table
I want one...
Re: Canadian Roots
wow, serioulsy this shirt is sik.
aw, i still want this
Wow, I wish this shirt had won. It is so awesome.
I really wanted to buy one of these! Man, I hate when my pick doesn't win the derby
I can't believe all you people are ripping on the originality of this design... the periodic table of the elements has been around for over 100 years. It's not like he/she stole it from a poster. I think if you look around you'll find that most of the other designs are no more original than this. What's original about drawing a maple leaf? Every leaf is different, why should a drawing be more original than the real thing? Or a polar bear? How is that any more unique and creative than taking the time to fill in the squares on the table with a particular theme? That's like saying an engineer isn't creative because their work isn't visually apealing, or because they based their work on some scientific property that someone else invented/discovered years ago.
I'd buy it! :D
I love your shirt. As soon as I saw it - I laughed out loud. Wish I could purchase it. Great job!

Thanks, I appreciate your support. I have three entries for this week and at least one collaboration coming.
Re: Lake Ontario Sunset
I am so glad to see this shirt made it into the fog and made the final four. I voted for it and will be stunned if it is not in the final three. Your story made it even more beautiful, best wishes!
ciabelle wrote:Maybe too much of a nitpick for a spoof concept, but you've repeated at least three symbols: Cd, Cr, & Sk.
looks like they fixed this in the final design
Did they already print and sell this shirt? I totally want one
Spiteless wrote:Did they already print and sell this shirt? I totally want one
I"m afraid it ended up being #4, so it wasn't printed.
i love the beaver its amazing! go mr. lee!

The information from the Census enables central and local government to target resources and plan service provision more effectively. It also provides a broad range of demographic, social and economic information for use by other public services, the business and academic sectors, and the community.
The Census has been carried out every 10 years since 1801, with the exception of 1941. The most recent Census was held on 27th March 2011.

ack, looks like a great improvement.
my xorg.conf section
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050"
monitor is just
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]"
ModelName "Custom 1"
Gamma 1
For me:
- No change in single or dual head mode
- Mode lines in Xorg.conf are ignored (as per release notes)
- Any xrandr foo doesn't work
- Nothing in amdcccle allows fixing the resolution
I'm on a mobility x1600 also, and can't even get a downgrade to work right now.
New laptop for the new year, and at this rate it is certainly not going to contain an AMD/ATI card
Scrolling is still unbearably slow, and causes 100% CPU usage - in both Firefox and gnome-terminal. My card is a Mobility Radeon 9700.
same here....Mobility Radeon X1600.... 1680x1050 doesn't work........
I'm very happy, this will be a Great Christmas!
The driver is wonderful! Everything works!
- AIGLX and compiz still slow, firefox unusable.
- Now vlc crashes if I select opengl output
- With other outputs and AIGLX set to on, it's the world of flickers
- I don't want to test zsnes and xmame with opengl... I already know it's useless.
Please Santa Claus, bring me an nvidia and I will give you a radeon 9600 .
